Lacy Fair, the single mother of Anna and four-year-old Emerald, says her serenity is about to be interrupted by militia training just two doors down.
"I don't want to be a part of this and it's in my neighborhood," Fair said.
Fair and other residents of Swine Creek Road found notices in their mailboxes Tuesday.
They read, on April 17th, armed and uniformed civilians, citizen soldiers will perform military exercises including live fire weapons training.
"You got to be kidding me and what about my kids?" Fair asked.
All this is happening at the home of new neighbor Brandon Drabek, who is also the spokesman to the Ohio Defense Home Guard.
