By Andrew Wilson Contributing Writer CLAYTON — Due to a unique situation in the Bayberry Trails subdivision, the City of Clayton Thursday approved an ordinance to amend Clayton Codified Ordinance sections E and F, both of which are a part of the City’s grass watch list ordinance. According to Finance Director Kevin Schweitzer, the Bayberry Trails area has two to four basins that the Bayberry Homeowner’s Association isn’t supposed to maintain. A homeowner attending the meeting stated that homeowners do not pay their dues so they have no monies to maintain. If the City were to go out and cut the nuisance grass and bill the landowner, the landowner would not pay due to a lack of responsibility for the catch basins. The City, however, cannot put the cost to cut the basins on county property taxes due to the areas being considered common areas, meaning they have zero dollar value on the property roll down at the county, so the city See Clayton on Page 2

Union approves street light assessments By RON NUNNARI Independent Editor Rnunnari@civitasmedia.com UNION — Monday night the council of the city of Union authorized and approved the first reading of a list of street light and walkway assessments for various subdivisions within the city. “This is our annual housekeeping item for passing street light assessments for next year,” said CIty Manager John Applegate. “The street light assessments are the same rate as they have been for the last two years.”

Street light assessments have been set at $3 per $1,000 valuation. Concord Farms North Walkway light assessments have been set at $40.76 per lot. Concord Farms West at $46.13 per lot. Irongate subdivision - $45.75 per lot. Union Ridge subdivision $38.06 per lot. Lindeman Commons - $49.79 per lot. Concord Meadows - $41.76 per lot. Stoney Crest - $60.45 per lot and Union Springs $50.80 per lot. Council also approved the renewal of an application to place farmland in an agricultural district. The land is

located on the east side of State Route 48 and north of Old Springfield Road. The application must be renewed every five years. At its May 13 meeting, city council also approved the renewal of an application to place farmland in an agricultural district for property located along PhillipsburgUnion Road. Applegate said this was another property for current agricultural use valuation (CAUV) placement. The land has already been classified as CAUV and the renewal needs to be handled every five years.

Council also approved Ordnance 1563 amending the annual appropriations for 2013 under emergency status. The city applied for two recycling grant applications for solid waste funds. One application was for fence located along the west property line for Phillipsburg-Union Park, going back to the south end of the parking lot. The other application was for two shelter houses for Martindale Road Park. The city was able get both grants and the fence and shelter houses would need to be installed by Oct. 25.

Applegate pointed out that all of the items, fence and shelter houses, were made with 100 percent recycled materials. The roofing material is comprised of recycled aluminum. Approximately $350,000 to $400,000 in grant money was available so the city decided to apply for funding. Applegate said that the county has liked the projects performed in Union so far and those projects have turned out beautifully. He said other communities are now looking to apply for grants funds for similar projects.

Board reveals new Ohio Teacher Evaluation System By Andrew Wilson Contributing Writer UNION — Northmont Human Resources Director Amy Sipes presented the framework for the new Ohio Teacher Evaluation System during the board’s meeting at Union Elementary on Monday. The new system is state mandated and will be implemented during the 20132014 school year. Under the new system, 50 percent of the teachers’ evaluation will be based on the performance of the teacher in the classroom while the rest will be based on student growth measures. The performance side will measure the art of teaching while the student growth measures deals will involve the science of teaching. Both ratings are combined to form a final summative rating, which rates each teacher as accomplished, proficient, developing or ineffective. “We know that most educators that are considered to be accomplished or proficient are able to balance both the art of teaching and the science of teaching,” Sipes said. The teacher performance side will consist of growth plans as well as a series of observations in which evaluators watch teachers on the job. Walkthroughs in which evaluators will visit classrooms and chart the activity

taking place will occur as well. All of which are written up by May 1 to determine a rating based on performance. All performance pieces are based on a system known as the Ohio Standards for the Teaching Profession, which requires each evaluator to go into the classroom several times during the school year and gather evidence of what’s happening. As the evidence is gathered, it’s used to determine a holistic rating. All evaluators must be credentialed through the state. “It’s not about one observation or two observations, it’s about many looks at how that teacher teaches at many times during the school year,” Sipes said. During a formal observation, the assessor must provide a rating for 10 areas that are listed under three big ideas. Such ideas include instructional planning, instruction and assessment and professionalism. In the student growth measures area, academic progress is measured over two points in time during the school year. Teachers are categorized by data available according to their areas of instructional delivery. In other business, board members approved the high school building permit application fee at a cost of $27, 472.49. The fee pays for all of the review time

that Montgomery County spent reviewing specifications, documents and plans for the new high school and allows the construction process to begin. Early in the meeting, Taylor Johnson was introduced as the student repre-

sentative for 2013-2014. Johnson has participated in DECA, mentors at the elementary schools and is a varsity basketball cheerleader among other activities at NHS. “It’s awesome,” Johnson said about getting elected to

the position. “I think it’s awesome that a student gets to be in such an honorable position, and so the fact that I get to be in that position and be able to show what Northmont means to me. Basically, it just means a lot, it’s exciting.”

Rowlands is top candidate for Fillmore, CA city manager Clayton city manger might be headed back to home state By RON NUNNARI Independent Editor Rnunnari@civitasmedia.com CLAYTON — At its council meeting on Tuesday, June 11 the city of Fillmore, CA will be considering the appointment of David Rowlands to the position of city manager. Rowlands, 45, has served as city manager of the city of Clayton since January 2001. Prior to that Rowlands served as deputy city manager on Novato, CA. The appointment of Rowlands and the recommended approval will be the culmination of an extensive national search to find a permanent city manager to replace Yvonne Quiring, who resigned in September 2012 to take an assistant city manager position in Northern

David Rowlands California. Rigo Landeros, Fillmore’s fire chief, was named acting city manager when Quiring left while city council undertook a national search for her permanent replacement. More than 60 candidates applied for the Fillmore city manager position. City council was involved in an exten-

sive interview and background check process of all the top candidates under consideration. “The city council has been particularly impressed during the interview and background process with Rowlands’ proven record of bringing his community together on issues, his fiscal acumen, and his solid commitment to ethics and open government,” said Rick Neal, mayor of the city of Fillmore. If the contract is approved by Fillmore City Council, Rowlands would start in Fillmore on August 12 with an annual salary of $159,000. He would pay the full employee share of his retirement and Social Security contributions, and would be subject to a new maximum retirement benefit adopted by the state of California last year.

Following a lengthy debate in which City officials went back and forth about the proper language of the billing for the grass cuttings, it was determined that the City will assess the operator, responsible party and/or occupant for the purpose of collection charges and/or assessments of property taxes.

control of a homeowner’s association or similar association, the City may prorate the cost and assess the homeowners included in that association. “It’s an attempt to try to resolve a problem, and the problem is high grass which is in violation of City ordinances,” said Law Director Robert Portune. “Nobody’s taking care of it, the homeowners association is saying we can’t do it cuz we don’t have any money because people aren’t paying their dues. And so the City is doing it and saying we need to charge a tax summit by putting it on their real estate taxes.” “And if you can’t put it on the common area because there’s no taxable value to it, you put it on all the property owners who are members of this homeowner’s association. And they can take the credit against what they would otherwise pay the homeowner’s association by paying the real estate taxes.” In other business, City Council approved the second reading of an ordinance approving a 20 percent increase in the competitive bid threshold. The new legislation raises the bidding threshold from $18,000 to $21,600. City Council also passed a resolution authorizing Rowlands to enter into an agreement with Northmont City Schools for the provision of a school resource officer for the 2013-2014 school year. The SRO program will include the continuation of a full time SRO in the high school and expand the program by adding a part-time SRO four hours a day, three to four days a week in the middle school. Clayton City Council will meet on June 20.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. - The First Amendment to the United States Constitution

No privacy? Get used to it! I remember getting more than one paddling as a youngster growing up in Memphis for doing exactly what’s in the headlines today; I was eavesdropping on our party line. Now I realize I have to explain to over half of you what I mean by party line. Landline phones, which were once anchored to a wall, were often shared by several households. Your number would have a distinctive ring and the others on that shared line would be a little different. I’d very gently try to pick up the phone and cover the mouthpiece so I could listen in. Somehow my patents always found out. Today that’s a federal crime and shocks folks who hear about it. How am I supposed to feel, as a conservative, when I hear about Verizon compiling phone logs, the NSA doing much the same and emails being screened by ISPs? I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel but I can tell you I am not surprised or angry in the least!

Mi ke Scinto Guest Column Anybody who believes, in this age of technology that changes at a pace that would make our heads spin, you actually enjoy privacy is fooling themselves, or naïve; or both. My family does 90 percent of its Christmas shopping online. I can’t tell you the last time I was at a teller window at a bank. It’s all done with a click of the mouse now. I have no idea what a stamp costs these days since all my mail is e-mail. Our home repairs, doctor visits and auto fixes are all set up on line. I’m very aware that if there are IT geeks who can shut down banks, power grids and even governments via Internet hacking my information is there for the

taking. And it likely has been. That anchored phone I used to listen in on is now in my shirt pocket and can call globally, act as a GPS and really acts as a computer. Yes, that same technology that allows me to appear smart when Kathy asks me, as we’re watching a golf tournament on a Sunday afternoon, how many points Tiger leads by in the FedEx Cup race; and I tell her in two seconds, could also wipe us out just as fast. I’ve accepted that it’s the new normal. I don’t like it, but it is reality and I accept it. So am I surprised to know Uncle Sam and/or big business is watching who I talk to or what I’m doing? I’d be surprised if I found out they weren’t snooping. I didn’t say I liked it. I just said I accept it. So how do I guard myself? I keep hard copy records of anything that I might need to verify something I did or had. I don’t call anybody I’d be ashamed or afraid to say I talked with and my emails are written in such

a manner that I wouldn’t care who saw them. I live the life I should be living anyway since I don’t want anybody to think otherwise. So is technology keeping me on the straight and narrow? I don’t know for sure but my guess is Sister Michael Elaine, my 8th grade teacher, is probably smiling down on me wishing she had this technology to keep me straight in school rather than having to use that paddle on me after class almost daily. Know what? I wish the same thing! Mike Scinto is a 37 year veteran talk show host serving locally, statewide and nationally behind the microphone.

Center for Rural Affairs Board of Directors calls for Comprehensive Immigration Reform LYONS, NE - Last weekend the Board of Directors of the Center for Rural Affairs unanimously called for comprehensive federal legislation to fix the broken immigration system and strengthen our communities. Board President and Fullerton Nebraska Farmer Jim Knopik said, “As the United States Senate takes up their immigration bill, we felt that it was important to emphasize that reforming our broken immigration system is especially important to rural America.” The Center’s policy position calls for: • An opportunity for undocumented immigrants who fulfill the requirements for obtaining citizenship to remain in the US as citizens. • A more robust process for legal immigration that shortens the timeline and waiting list for legal immigration and creates clear avenues for future immigrants. • Practical and appropriate limits as determined by an independent commission on the number of manually skilled workers allowed to

immigrate legally each year. • More effective enforcement of existing wage and labor laws and of the prohibition on hiring undocumented immigrants and falsely classifying them as independent contractors. According to Knopik, the United States admits only 10,000 manually skilled workers on work visas each year, about one for every 100 immigrants who enter without a visa and find work. “The door to legal, documented immigration used by earlier generations is today largely closed for all but the wealthy and well-educated,” Knopik said. Kathie Starkweather, director of rural community development work, went on to explain that the Center for Rural Affairs further recognizes the need to fully engage immigrants in rural communities and American democracy through support for minority business development, voter registration, leadership development and other means. “Such approaches bring people together and build com-

munity,” Starkweather said. The Center’s statement on immigration can be found h e r e : http://www.cfra.org/node/463 4 Center for Rural Affairs Board Adopted Resolution on Immigration Policy In accordance with its mission, the Center for Rural Affairs supports comprehensive federal legislation to address immigration. Such comprehensive legislation should include: • An opportunity for undocumented immigrants who fulfill the requirements for obtaining citizenship to remain in the US as citizens. • A more robust process for legal immigration that shortens the timeline and waiting list for legal immigration and creates clear avenues for future immigrants. • Practical and appropriate limits as determined by an independent commission on the number of manually skilled workers allowed to immigrate legally each year that are higher than the cur-

rent limit of 10,000 per year, but sufficient to prevent downward pressure on wages of workers in manually skilled sectors. • More effective enforcement of existing wage and labor laws and of the prohibition on hiring undocumented immigrants and falsely classifying them as independent contractors. The Center opposes state and local legislation to impose responsibility of immigration law on state and local law enforcement agencies. In addition, we strongly support and encourage efforts to fully engage immigrants in rural communities and American democracy through support for minority business development, voter registration, leadership development and other means. Such approaches bring people together and build community whereas the aforementioned state and local immigration proposals are dividing people and weakening communities. Adopted June 2013

A frog-jumping double standard on food subsidies I’ll bet that Mark Twain, who wrote “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County,” would’ve loved a current saga. I call it “The Jumping Congress Critter of Frog Jump.” The critter’s name is Representative Stephen Fincher. He’s a millionaire, agribusiness operator, gospel singer, and tea party Republican who was elected to Congress in 2010 from the greater metropolitan area of Frog Jump, Tennessee. Declaring “limited government” to be his priority, the 40-year-old right-winger recently jumped all over the food stamp budget, demanding that $20 billion (and 2 million poverty-stricken families) be chopped out of the

Jim Hightower Other Words

program. In his attack, Fincher cited an odd moral source to rationalize his minginess toward America’s poor families: The Bible. “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat,” declared the Bible-thumping budget-whacker, quoting the Book of Thessalonians. Of course, several passages in the Bible depict Jesus teaching an

exact opposite moral code — indeed, a heavenly duty of generosity toward the poor. But Fincher the Austerian was not about to let Jesus trump the tea party’s small-government dogma. “We have to remember,” the Frog Jumper lectured, that “this is other people’s money that Washington is appropriating and spending.” Piously put, sir. But then, the Critter from Frog Jump suddenly leapt to another budgetary lily pad. Now, the “limited government” ideologue became a croaking freespender. Guess what he’s demanding? A $9 billion increase in a taxpayer subsidy program that protects the income of a few agribusiness outfits like his.

In fact, Fincher is the second-largest recipient of farm subsidies in Congress, having taken at least $3.5 million in “other people’s money” in the past dozen years.

Letters to the Editor The church’s responsibility to widows To the Editor: I am preparing myself to preach this coming Sunday evening (June 16) on the subject of the church’s responsibility to widows from 1st Timothy 5:3-16. When I prepare for such an address, I find myself convicted by the passage. This passage was no different, but as I closed my message, I felt compelled to tell more than the church audience about the implications. During the 1800s the

church abrogated her duty to the people of the community and gave it to the “state”. Paul tells us that we as church have a duty to help those who are widows indeed both physically and spiritually. In many cases we have failed in our responsibility. But Paul goes on to tell us what can happen if the pendulum swings too far the other way. We see it currently occurring in our nation. Paul tells the church that it must help those who are widows indeed. Then he

goes on to list the qualifications: those who are totally without help from their families, those who are over sixty, those who are trusting in God for their well being, and those who have exhibited “good” works in their lives. Next he warns the church (and our government) of what can happen if one begins to care for a widow who either can marry or has others to care for them: they become wanton against God, they become gossipers and

tattlers and generally get themselves into trouble. That’s what has happened with our current “welfare” system. Instead of encouraging independence, we have created great dependence on the government. Church somehow we must return to doing our God given jobs: and one of those is helping widows who are widows indeed. Pastor Bruce Winner Union Baptist Church Englewood

Just call me Bob the Human Answering Machine Got a minute? Good! Let me tell you about my new hobby. I’m spending a lot of time teaching myself how to impersonate a telephone answering machine. I already have an answering machine message on my phone but I want to change it a tad in the wake of all the phone messages I’m getting from telemarketers these days. My new message will kick in after the third ring, see, and I want it to be convincing enough to frustrate all those callers I don’t want to get calls from. You know the calls I’m talking about. They are the calls from people who want to sell me everything from life insurance to new cars. I also get come-ons for acne cream, summer getaways and magazine subscriptions. A typical telemarketer message begins with “Good morning, Mr. Blatz. This is Angie (or Phil or Ron or Fred or Debbie) and I have a special offer I just have to tell you about.” At that point I usually just hang up the receiver but then I

decided I should give all those unwanted callers a taste of their own medicine, so to speak. When I install my message on my phone a typical episode with a telemarketer will go like this … “ Hi, this is Bob. Doggone it, I’m not here now. I’m currently on a three-month safari in Tanganyika where I doing some big-game hunting. You know, lions, elephants, stuff like that. I’m so sorry I missed your call. Please get back to be. In six months. Or 11 years.” Another option is “Hello, this is Bob. Gee whiz, you just missed me. There’s no one at home now but if you leave your name and number I will get back with you as soon as possible. Probably.” Contact Bob at bbatz@woh.rr.com

Walking is helpful for those with addictions OKLAHOMA — Taking a walk can be very beneficial to a person for many different reasons. Usually when a person has been addicted to drugs or alcohol, they have become extremely introverted and had limited physical activity. Taking a walk allows one to become extroverted and is a simple activity to help one in recovery. Taking a walk provides one with getting outside and enjoying the beautiful sites, sounds and smells of the landscape and environment they are in. It allows one to relax, get some exercise and relieve any stress that may have been pinned up inside them. It is a healthy activity for those in recovery to enjoy and utilize to help them through any potential problems or hardships.

HUBER HEIGHTS — The Friends of Saint Francis are hosting the official Grand Opening of the Saint Francis Thrift Store in Huber Heights. Located at 7777 Waynetowne Blvd, the new 55,000 square foot store offers guests a department store-esque feel as they browse through an extensive selection of estate furniture, quality housewares, and endless isles of organized clothing.

The grand opening and ribbon cutting, slated for June 15 at 11 a.m., is the culmination of efforts from everyone in the Saint Francis family. “Our doors have been open for a few months while everyone has been getting trained and used to the new location. It’s taken many hands to bring this project together and we couldn’t be more thrilled to extend our helping hand to the family in the Northern communities of the Miami Valley,”

Five T-Bolts compete in MVFCA All Star game By Andrew Wilson Contributing Writer DAYTON — Five Northmont football players put on their helmets and pads for the final time in their high school careers at the 30th annual Miami Valley Football Coaches Association All Star game at Welcome Stadium on Friday, June 7. Wide receiver Austin Sanders, linebacker Cody Grilliot, defensive end Drake Thompson, offensive lineman Dustin Bowers and linebacker Bobby Saul represented the North team at the event. While the North team, which was coached by VandaliaButler’s Mike Berry, fell to the South by a score of 33-21, the T-Bolts made their presence felt as Sanders, who hauled in a total of four passes on the night, caught three on the final desperation drive by the North squad. “It was a true honor,” Sanders said of representing Northmont at the game. “Over the past four years, I’ve enjoyed a lot of great memories and it was great to put this helmet on one last time. It was definitely a tremendous honor to represent my school. Even though I’m graduated, I’m still gonna carry Northmont on my chest for the rest of my life basically. But it was a true honor for sure.” While it is unknown how many tackles Thompson, Grilliot and Saul recorded, each prevented Springboro running back Rahman Hardin, who scored two touchdowns in the second half, from reaching the end zone in the first half. The North squad, which fell behind 7-0 early and 21-7

Banion to wide receiver Duncan Mercer, both of which played for Southeastern High School. Banion and Mercer connected three times on the night, but the North squad was unable to stop Hardin, who rushed for one touchdown with 1:37

remaining in the third quarter and added another with 7:03 to go in the fourth. With the North trailing 2721, Trotwood quarterback Austin Howell dropped back for a pass but didn’t see Lebanon’s Bradley Ellis coming across the left side. Ellis jumped the route, picked off Howell’s pass and returned it 56 yards for a game sealing pick six.

Although the game was an exhibition, hard hits came early and often as former Trotwood running back Israel Green was removed in the second quarter after suffering an ankle injury. Both the North and South squads were charged with personal fouls in the second half. “Coming into the game, we knew it was gonna be a little chippy due to the fact that, if you get thrown out of the

game, nothing’s really gonna happen,” Sanders said. “So we kinda knew coming into the game there was gonna be a lot of personal fouls and stuff like that. But there was definitely a lot of hard hitting, I got hit hard a couple times, definitely blind sided a couple times, but we kinda expected it.” Despite the loss, Northmont players were See Five T-Bolts on Page 10
