The community came together today in downtown Cambridge for the Memorial Day parade - a time to remember and reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and service of our nation’s heroes.

From the marching band to veterans and families lining the streets, the photos tell the story of a rural town joined in remembrance.

Thank you to all who participated, and most of all, to those we remember and honor today.

Newspapers will be available tomorrow at our usual retail partners, and will be mailed tomorrow, making them at least a day late this week.
We solemnly remember those who lost their lives in service to our nation, so that we can remain free to live as one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Among dusty archives, pieces of Cambridge glass, and handwritten letters that have outlived their authors by centuries, Rick Booth works to preserve our history.

Starting June 5, 2025, the Chandlersville Community Building Association will host an outdoor Farmer’s Market in the yard beside the building, Thursday evenings from 5 to 8 pm. The Chandlersville Community Building (former school) is located on SR 146 in Chandlersville.

At 7 p.m. on Tuesday May 27, the next regular Spencer Township meeting is scheduled to take place at the township building located at the intersection of Bluebell and Howell Roads east of Cumberland. The meeting is a week later than usual and on Tuesday due to the Memorial Day holiday.

The SEOJSWMD’s recycling trailer is next scheduled to be at the former Spencer Township property on Mill Street in Cumberland from Friday June 20 through Sunday June 22. There were no arrival or departure times listed. Please do not place trash in the trailer or leave items on the ground next to the trailer. The recycling trailer’s schedule is subject to change.

Do you remember?
About 4:30 a.m. on May 24, 2010, many AEP customers in Cumberland and Spencer Township lost power for approximately 2.5 hours. The power outage was caused when it became necessary to shut down the Glenwood substation on SR 821 to make emergency repairs.
Pleasant City and Ava also reported outages during the repairs. SR 821 was closed for a time during the repairs.
Early risers getting ready for work or school along with light sleepers were immediately inconvenienced by the unexpected blackout. Others awoke wondering why alarms failed and then left to grumble as they reset all their clocks.
Throughout the day there were many mentions of the outage on the local radio news. It was about mid-afternoon when most learned that their well-planned morning routines had been disrupted because of the theft of copper wire at the Glenwood substation. The Noble County Sheriff’s Department investigated the situation and AEP was willing to press charges if the suspects were found.
