For 45 minutes, the roar of motorcycles could be heard passing under an American flag hanging from two ladder trucks. For 45 minutes, area residents gathered in the shadow of the Auglaize County Courthouse and Wapakoneta Fire Station waved and clapped as motorcyclists rode by.
The smiles and waves turned into clapping and cheers as the Vietnam Memorial Traveling Wall passed down Willipie Street on its way to Custenborder Field in Sidney where it was greeted by a field of American flags.

Local feud ends in citation
Monday, 30 November 2009
By KAREN CAMPBELL
Assistant Managing Editor
A Uniopolis man was cited with disorderly conduct for his involvement in an ongoing feud Thanksgiving day with his girlfriend’s former boyfriend who was in from out of town.
According to the report discussed by Wapakoneta Police Lt. Greg Lowry, Derrick Anderson, 19, 180 W. South St., said at 9:05 p.m. Thursday that he had planned to fight with Zachary Voisin, 19, of Fort Campbell, Tenn.
He accused Voisin of throwing a cup at a friend’s vehicle.
The two pairs of friends — also including Zach Gonterman, 19, of Wapakoneta, and Chad Blood, 21, Harker Heights, Texas — followed each other around in their vehicles throughout the day, with claims made that vehicles were hit intentionally at Burger King and in the county.
Minor damage was reportedly sustained by the vehicle.
Anderson said he was upset Voisin came back and talked to his girlfriend, whom he dated four years ago.

According to the report:
It is an ongoing problem, with this being the third note allegedly left by a 49-year-old Wapakoneta man for the 17-year-old girl.
The notes have not been threatening or sexual in nature, but odd.
The man admitted to leaving the first note but is now denying it.
The case is still under investigation.
• A counterfeit $100 bill was recovered from an Astro Lanes bank deposit at the First National Bank of New Bremen, at 10:55 a.m. Wednesday.

The bill had several indicators that it was not legitimate such as the color of the ink, a strip wider than it was supposed to be, USA upside down and writing around the picture illegible.
The bill was turned over to the Secret Service in Toledo.
It appears to be an isolated incident.
