ANTWERP During World War II,
Operation Carpetbagger was a general
term used for the aerial resupply of
weapons, ammunition, food, medical
supplies, and sometimes even spies to
resistance fighters in France, Italy, and
other European countries by the U.S.
Army Air Forces. Ira Green, who is 96
years old, is the only surviving member
of a Carpetbagger squadron that flew
such nighttime missions to resupply the
fighters. But his story is so much bigger
than that, it needs to be told in its entirety.
Iras father was born near Hicksville
in 1875 of Dutch-Irish-Miami Indian
ancestry. When they were of age, his
dad and his two brothers traveled to
Wyoming to find work as cowboys on
ranches in the Equality State. When his
father came home to Hicksville for a
visit, he met and married Iras mother
and they moved back to Wyoming for
a time.
While my father was out on the
range, my mother was stuck in town
with us kids, says Ira, who was born
Feb. 16, 1919. So she got a job as a
cook in a restaurant and put all us kids in
school.
In 1926, we moved back to Ohio
and Ive been here ever since. During
my childhood we moved around from
place to place, wherever Dad could find
work. I went to 13 different schools in
13 years, all in the Hicksville area.
Shortly after graduating from high
school, Ira went to Kansas City to aircraft school. But in 1941, he was drafted

into the service.
They asked us which
branch we wanted to go into,
he recalls, so I said the Air
Force. Then they shipped me to
Jefferson Barracks in St. Louis,
which had been used as a training facility during the Civil
War. It was a BIG place! Later
that same year, I was sent to a
school in New York and later
to Macon, Georgia, for more
training. The base in Macon
was also a training station for
British pilots. I was there approximately two years.
Ira was the crew chief on five
different planes.
But when they asked for
volunteers for the bomber crew,
I thought to myself, Heres
my chance! he recalls. So I
signed up for that. Then they
shipped me back to Salt Lake
City. Thats where the air crews
were put together. After that, I
was on several bases out West,
mostly in Idaho and Utah.
Once the air crews were
assembled, they were sent to
New York where they were to
depart for overseas.
But I ended up in the hospital with the flu, he says. The
rest of my crew flew on over,
but when I got out of the hospital they put me on the Queen
Mary! There were over 23,000
people on that ship nurses,
Air Force and Army personnel
and all kinds of people. We
docked in England, and then I
was taken to Royal Air Force
Station Harrington, which is
now the Carpetbagger Aviation
Museum. Even though its British, its still maintained by the
Carpetbagger Association.
According to the Carpetbagger website on Wikipedia, from
January 1944 until the end of
the war, the Carpetbaggers,
along with the British Special
Operations Executive and later
the Special Forces Headquarters in London, dropped spies
and supplies to the resistance
forces of France, Belgium,

When I got down there, I discovered that the unit that drove
the tail turret was on fire. I
radioed the pilot and shouted,
Weve got a fire in the tail!
But he thought I said, Weve
got a fighter on our tail!
I knew I had to get the
three-foot-high flames out, so I
grabbed a fire ax and chopped
a big hole in the side of the
plane to cut that unit loose.
Then I dropped it into the English Channel. I know today
that thats the only thing that
saved our plane. Im eligible
for the Medal of Honor for
that, but if I ever get it Im sure
it will be posthumously. Im
the only survivor of that crew
of Carpetbaggers, so theres no
one left to verify my story.
Throughout his Air Force
career, Ira flew 35 missions
with six different pilots.
The length of a tour was
actually 24 missions, he says.
But sometimes at night wed
be sitting around the barracks
and one of our superiors would
come and ask if anyone wanted
to go out. I figured I might as
well, so Id volunteer. I never
had anything to do with girls
when I was in the service, so I
was usually bored in the evening.
Staff Sergeant Ira W. Green
was honorably discharged
from the Army Air Force on
Sept. 2, 1945 at Camp Atterbury in Indiana.
But when Ira got home from
the service and attended a Friday night dance at the school
in Hicksville, he met a girl
named Opal Beerbower.
I walked into the gym and
saw a girl sitting across the
way, he says. Id never seen
this girl before in my life, but I
said to myself, Thats the girl
Im going to marry. I walked
over and asked her to dance.
We were out on the dance floor
and I said, Will you marry
me? And she said yes!
We went together about a
year and a half, and then got
married on Easter Sunday in
1947. We were married 63
years when she passed away
four years ago. I sure do still
miss her.
The couple has three daughters, one son, six grandchildren
and over 20 great- and greatgreat grandchildren.
After Opal and I were
married, I needed a job, Ira
continues. I worked for the
Atlantic & Pacific [A&P] Tea
Company as a meat cutter for
31 years in Ohio and Michigan. I made a good living, but
I was gone from home quite a
bit. But Opal and I never had
an argument. I just turned everything over to her.
Ira Green is proud of the medals he won during World War II. This framed collection shows, among
others, the Air Medal (bottom row, second from left), Distinguished Flying Cross (bottom row, middle) and the AAF sleeve patch. The newspaper clipping under the sleeve patch reads, Award of
the Air Medal to Staff Sergeant Ira W. Green has been announced by Lieutenant General Doolittle,
Commanding General, Eighth Air Force, in England. The award was presented to Sergeant Green in
a recent ceremony. Sergeant Green is a gunner of one of the AAFs giant B-24 Liberators operating
from this heavy bomber base over occupied Europe, and is a veteran of numerous missions over
enemy territory. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Ira W. Green, Spencerville Street, Hicksville.
These days, Ira lives in an
apartment at the Manor House
in Antwerp. He still drives and
has his own car and comes and
goes as he pleases. He enjoys

By Dale Barnett
National Commander, American Legion
While we can all rejoice this Veterans Day that the steady
flow of U.S. casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan has slowed to a
trickle, we must never forget the incredible sacrifice that Americas defenders continue to make on our behalf.
Such is the case of Master Sergeant Joshua Wheeler, who died
leading a Delta Force rescue mission of ISIS hostages held
in Iraq on Oct. 22. A veteran of 14 combat deployments, his
sacrifice is shared by four boys who are now fatherless and
his wife, who became a widow far too early. But another important part of his legacy are the 70 hostages who were spared
brutal executions by an enemy that is as ruthless as any that
America has faced.
The willingness to face pain and death so others can be
spared isnt unique to just the fallen. Consider the case of
two American veterans and their longtime friend when they
bravely stopped a terrorist attack aboard a train bound for
Paris this summer.
Airman First Class Spencer Stone, Army Specialist Alek
Skarlatos and Anthony Salder could have run from the danger
when a heavily armed gunman boarded the train.
Instead, Specialist Skarlatos said, Lets go, as the men ran
toward a future that could have easily meant instant death or
maiming for them and all of the other innocent people within
range.
Fortunately, this story is remembered not for the horrific
tragedy that nearly happened but for the heroism that did.
Even after enduring serious stab wounds that were inflicted as
he disarmed the gunman, Airman Stone administered life-saving first aid to a passenger that was shot.
The terrorist was carrying 270 rounds of ammunition. But
because of the actions of these three young Americans, and
two Europeans who assisted them, the death toll aboard the
train was zero.
There is also the incredible story of Chris Mintz. As others
were understandably fleeing from a mass shooting at Oregons Umpqua Community College on Oct. 1, the 30-year-old
former Army infantryman bravely confronted the gunman at
a classroom door, as he attempted to save others who were
inside. Mr. Mintz survived the attack and continues to recover
after being shot five times.
These stories are inspiring, but certainly not surprising to
me. As national commander of The American Legion, I meet
veterans all of the time who have demonstrated tremendous
heroism yet blend in our communities without fanfare.
There are many ways to thank the men and women who
have served in our Armed Forces, but I cannot think of a better method of showing gratitude than to hire one. Employers
who make this smart decision will usually benefit from the
discipline, skills and loyalty that are found abundantly in todays military.
Isnt it likely that people who have survived firefights in Afghanistan can handle whatever tasks are thrown their way at
the office without too much stress?
My old classmate, C. Hughes Clark, summed up the humble nature of most veterans. I can say without regret that I
wouldnt have done anything different through it all, simply
because it has given me a sense of accomplishment that I
couldnt have accomplished any other way.

Hootenannied, groaked
and just plain crapulous
It seems as if every day I
learn or hear a new word. (A
lot of times I just make up my
own). One word I have not
heard used a lot is hootenanny. It is just not a word that
we use on a daily basis in our
vocabulary.
The word hootenanny is a
Scottish word meaning celebration or party. It was noted
thatthe Scots were one of the
biggest groups to settle in the
Appalachianregion of North
America, bringing with them
their whisky-making tradition
and methods, leading to the
areas moonshining. It is not
surprising that the word hootenanny became a southern term.
Hootenanny
was
also
termed as something you hold
in your hand. You could say
hand me that whatchamacallit or thing-a-ma-jig; or,
Hand me thathootenanny.
Whenever I do think of the
word hootenanny, I think of
a loud raucous type of get-together. It is said that in todays
world, it means a musician
type party with an open
mike An open mike is where
anyone can show their stuff by
either playing an instrument
or singing. Now, I do go to an
open mike every week, but I
never ever knew it was called
a hootenanny.
During the early 1960s at
the height of thefolk musicera, a clubinGreenwich
Villagestarted the folk music hootenanny tradition and
holding it every Monday
night. It brought performers
from near and far and featured
open mike.
I did not know this, but there
are online hootenannies going
on since 1999. The longest
A Penny for
Your Thoughts

Nancy Whitaker
lasting one is Small Talk at the
Wall. I will have to check that
one out.
In earlier interviews, Pete
Seeger said that he had heard
the word hootenanny to describe their group of musician
fundraisers. In fact, the club
took a vote and hootenanny
beat out the word wing ding.
I believe I have probably
been going to hootenannies
all my life and did not know
that was what they were. I am
sure there are a lot of words
and terms around that I never
knew, but I am going to list
some very unusual words that
we no longer use, just to see if
you ever heard them.
One interesting word is
hugger-mugger. Do you know
what hugger-mugger means?
The word originated way back
in the 1500s and meant to act
in a secret manner. I am sure
I will be using this word daily by saying, Im sick of all
these sneaky types, creeping
around and hugger-muggering
the whole time.
The next word is groak.
This word is almost like croak
but is groak. It means to silent-
Commissioners Journal
Commissioners Journal October 7,
2015
This 7th day of October, 2015, the
Board of County Commissioners met
in regular session with the following
members present: Roy Klopfenstein,
Tony Zartman, Mark Holtsberry, and
Nola Ginter, Clerk.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
A motion was made by Zartman to
go into executive session at 8:04 a.m.
with the Paulding County Prosecutor
to discuss legal matters.
At 8:36 a.m. all members present
agreed to adjourn the executive session
and go into regular session.
MEETING NOTES OF APPOINTMENTS
Randy Ruge and Kyle Mawer, Paulding County Hospital; Larry Colley and
Dave Phillips, Paulding County Ag/Fair
Board - Ruge presented a Memorandum
of Understanding (MOU) between the
Paulding County Commissioners and
the Paulding County Hospital for emergency relocation of hospital operations
in the event the hospital is rendered uninhabitable.
The hospitals suggestion is to utilize
the fairgrounds and its facilities, particularly the Ohio State Extension building.
The commissioners noted they lease
the fairgrounds to the Paulding County
Agricultural Society/Fair Board. Therefore, any sub-lease agreement would
need to be between the agricultural society/fair board and the hospital.
Several areas of concern are: availability of back-up power, proximity to
the hospital, adequate square footage,
immediate availability of facility, etc.
Colley was most concerned with
the possibility of emergency use of the
fairgrounds during the fair or Flat Rock
Creek Fall Festival when the grounds
would be occupied. He was concerned
about evacuation efforts in a timely matter.
The commissioners suggested several other possible relocation sites for
Inductees into the Paulding County First and Century Families groups attending the Paulding
County Genealogical Societys annual banquet were, from left - Sue LaFountain,Karen Tuohy,

Quite honestly, we offer
services to our partner schools
that many people dont see or
dont understand. We operate
behind the scenes to provide
educational services to our
partner schools. We have reduced the cost to our partner
schools through a shared services delivery model. Shared
service delivery includes sharing speech, occupational, and
physical therapists, said Gerber.
He went on to say, We also
share school psychologists,
gifted education personnel,
and grant writing personnel.
ESCs also provide curriculum
directors and special education
directors to meet the needs of
our partner schools. The overall goal of an ESC is to positively impact student achievement, said Gerber.
Other Western Buckeye
ESC instructional services
include paraprofessional support, preschool special education support, 21st Century
after-school programs, and
Alternative Schools. The alternative school tailors curric-

precautions given

COLUMBUS The Ohio
Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) and the Ohio
Department of Commerce
Division of State Fire Marshal are urging Ohioans to be
aware of the states outdoor
burning regulations and to
take necessary precautions to
avoid unwanted fires this fall.
Ohio law states that burning debris outdoors in unincorporated areas is prohibited
from 6 a.m.-6 p.m. during the
months of October and November. Burning is limited in
the fall due to the abundance
of dry fuel on the ground, for
example grass, weeds, crops
and fallen leaves. In addition,
winds can make a seemingly
safe fire burn more intensely
and out of control. Incorporated areas typically have more
stringent rules. It is a good
idea to contact your local fire
department prior to any open
burning.

that excels.

Veterans Day is a public holiday that is dedicated to honoring
anyone who has served in the
United States military. The holiday began as a day to remember
the end of World War I and was
declared a holiday by President
Woodrow Wilson in 1919. It was
originally known as Armistice
Day.
While many communities observe the day with ceremonies
and parades, some officials say
the best way Americans can say
thank you to our vets for their
sacrifices is to hire a veteran, join
a group that makes care packages and volunteer at a Volunteer
Income Tax Assistance (VITA)
site. They offer no-cost tax advice
and preparation to vets filing tax
returns.
The following essay was sent
to me about 15 years ago by a
subscriber. The message is appropriate for both Veterans Day and
Flag Day. It reads:
A protest raged on a courthouse lawn, round a makeshift
stage they charged on. Fifteen
hundred or more they say, had
come to burn the flag that day.
A boy held up the folded flag,

cursed it and called it a dirty rag.
A man pushed through the angry
crowd, with an old gun shouldered proud.
His uniform jacket was old and
tight, he had polished each button, shiny and bright. He crossed
the stage with military grace, until he and the boy stood face to
face.
Then the old man broke the
silence. Freedom of speech is
worth dying for, good men and
women are gone, they live no
more. All so you can stand on
During the start of the Division III state cross country meet last Saturday, several runners stay
bunched together as they make their way around the course. Leading the pack at this juncture is
Antwerps Sam Williamson. The Archer senior finished second to complete his high school career
