The latest problems play out against a backdrop of concerns over the growth rolling across communities between Cincinnati and Dayton. People are moving to Waynesville for its quieter lifestyle and slower pace. But their arrival signals change. In 1990, the population was 1,949. Since 1995, the number has increased from 2,382 to more than 2,500.
Some people say the town's growth is causing the tension.
But Mr. Bradley said it's more likely caused by the times. Quite simply, they have changed. The Legion was a big part of this community for so long. But I know that Waynesville will survive. Supporters said Mr. Irelan was only messing up Brent Morgan's hair.
