Clayton approves 2013 street resurfacing project By Andrew Wilson Contributing Writer CLAYTON — City Council Thursday unanimously approved a resolution authorizing the City Manager to accept the bid and enter into a contract with John R. Jurgensen Company for the 2013 street resurfacing project at a cost not to exceed $468,898.37. According to Economic Development Director Gwen Eberly, the City received two separate bids this year and awarded the contract to John R. Jurgensen due to their willingness to provide a cost for similar work in 2014 and 2015. Doing so gave the City the option of using those prices in the next two years if needed. Additionally, if asphalt prices were to rise significantly, the City has the prices locked in at a good, competitive rate. “We feel very confident,” Eberly said. “We’ve worked with John R Jurgensen before, they’re a very good company to work with and we always go for the lowest and best.” John R. Jurgensen will scrape off the top layers of asphalt and add a new surface on Sweet Potato Road, Taywood Road, Hilltop Drive, Maynard Avenue,

Additionally, surface overlay work will take place on Putnam Drive and the company will fill in dips and surface overlay on Rinehart Road.
In other business, the City approved the second reading of an ordinance to amend the Clayton Codified Ordinance Section 1313.05 sections E and F regarding the grass watch list. The new legislation authorizes the City to assess the operator, responsible party and/or occupant for the purpose of collection
charges and/or assessments of property taxes. Additionally, if the place containing high grass or weeds is a common area under custody, care or control of a homeowner’s association or similar association, the City may prorate the cost and assess the homeowners included in that association.

City Council also approved the first reading of an ordinance to authorize the submission of the 2013/2014 North Clayton Community Authority Charge to the Assessments Montgomery County Auditor. The North Clayton area, which has an annual charge for area landowners and residents, has $10,914 in charges that have not been paid yet. City Council also approved the first reading of an ordinance to impose assessments upon owners of real property in arrears for payment of fees for waste hauling and disposal services for 2013-2014. The ordinance covers delinquent trash accounts, as a total of $64,676.22 have not been paid. Finally, council members passed a resolution approving the City’s participation in the Ohio Municipal League 2014 Worker’s Compensation Group Rating Program with an enrollment fee of $2,310.

As a result, the City will save $19,609 or 39 percent on worker’s compensation premiums for the upcoming year.

UNION — Settlers Trail residents Alan and Jennifer Limke were named the winners of the Sears Backyard Makeover Contest, a contest that saw over 38,000 entrees from across the country and provides its winners with a significant upgrade to their home’s backyard. By winning the contest, the Limkes acquired approximately $4,000 worth of items. Such items include a new canopy, an outdoor grill, a lawnmower and a storage shed complete with outdoor candle holders, a solar powered outdoor stereo, extension cords, lanterns, outdoor lights, plant stands, gardening tools and grilling tools among other items. Additionally, a small amount of landscaping was completed in the Limke’s backyard and new flowers were planted near the house. “I’m very appreciate,” Alan

Limke said of winning the contest and the items. “It’s very, very nice.” The Limkes, who were in the process of purchasing a new refrigerator in order to upgrade from their current one, signed up for the Shop Your Way Rewards program on the Sears website. While there, Alan Limke noticed the posting for the Backyard Makeover Contest and completed various tasks in order to enter the contest. Such tasks included creating a small catalog of outdoor living items offered by Sears and communicating with other people socially. After receiving an email informing them they were the winner of the nationwide contest, Alan Limke started the process of planning the celebratory party, which mostly involved signing paperwork and exchanging emails with various people from the Sears Headquarters.

The community gathered at Englewood Elementary to remember Brianna.
Her friends, Shelby Hunter and Emma Bernardi embraced Brianna’s mother. All three girls were inseparable. “She was a great ‘dancer’… LOL,” quipped Emma Bernardi, a long standing inside joke shared by Brianna and her friends. Mourners walked around the Englewood Elementary
School track wearing ribbons of purple and green, Brianna’s favorite colors. Brianna would have been a sophomore at Northmont High School this coming year. “She had a fantastic sense of humor and an infectious smile and she had a positive impact on everyone she knew,” said Tina Bernardi, a
family friend. Balloons were launched at the memorial walk because Brianna loved the Disney movie “Up.” Funeral services for Brianna Moore will be held at 10 a.m. on Friday, June 28, at the Kindred Funeral Home (400 Union Blvd., Englewood) with Pastor Dan Collier officiating. The fami-
ly will receive friends on Thursday, from 4 to 8 p.m. at the funeral home. Interment will be at Arlington Cemetery near Brookville.

Union residents... The party took place at the Limke’s home and involved a few members of the Sears Corporation along with several of the Limke’s family members, friends and coworkers. Additionally, Ty Pennington, a former host of the show Extreme Makeover who is still involved in home and furniture design, was on hand to help present the materials to the Limkes. “It’s a big thrill to wel-
come Ty Pennington here,” Alan Limke said. “Because he’s very big in the design world, very well known, his Extreme Makeover show is no longer on the air, but he’s still very active in doing this kind of thing. He’s also got some product lines for different stores like Lumber Liquidators, things like that, so it’s just a thrill to have him come by.” Although the show

Extreme Makeover ceased operation in December, the Limke’s party will be circulated on Sears.com, Facebook and Twitter as a two to three minute edited highlight reel. The reel will feature the prizes, everybody who helped with the party and Pennington with his personality. Pennington, who has been a partner with Sears since the beginning of Extreme Makeover nine years ago, remains active in designing outdoor furniture, home decor products and interior Sears and design. Pennington also team up for many different sweepstakes and projects, including building a home for a military veteran who lost his house to Hurricane Sandy and a food drive in Manhattan, NY. “Doing something positive for somebody doesn’t have to be as big as building a house,” Pennington said. “It can be as simple as helping somebody across the street, putting a ramp in for somebody who may have

OPINION Thrills of our lives, but at what cost?
Englewood Independent
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
From our front yard we can and have watched the Dayton Air Show for a quarter century now. That’s the same air show that was a mere shadow of itself with sequestration forcing all military exhibits to bow out this year. It was exceptionally sad this time around with the deaths of wing walker Jane Wicker and her pilot during a crash in the third performance of the air show on Saturday. This column isn’t about the air show however. The death of the way-tooyoung-to-die mother of two was merely one of several events that came to mind posing a real question about living life to its fullest. At about the same time as the crash I watched an interview with Nik Wallenda who just walked across the Grand Canyon on a tightrope from an elevation higher than the Empire State Building. As those two individuals had my
Mi ke Scinto Guest Column
mind occupied I thought about Dale Earnhardt who lost his life before he reached the age of 50 racing around a track. Then I saw a rerun of a story about the guys who put on skin tight bird outfits and “fly” down the face of huge cliffs around the world for the thrill of it. Of course Nik Wallenda and the bird men are still among the living. But the simple question that came to mind with these and so many others; why? When someone dies too young from performing their chosen stunt I’ll so often hear “At least they went doing what they loved”. And my
response to that is to ask what good that’s doing them or any of their friends or family. Please understand I am not criticizing any of the individuals I’ve named. I quite simply don’t get it. I’m well aware we could get hit by a car walking across the street tonight. I know there are no guarantees in life. But I can’t wrap myself around pushing the envelope to 110% over and over again. It’s testing fate; and fate often wins. While they’re doing what thrills them at 110% I am quite content doing 70% but realizing the thrills I’m enjoying are not likely to cut my life short. I love this life and we only get one shot at it. I want to squeeze every second out of it I can. And my guess is, if you ask the friends and family of those who died doing what they loved so much if they’d rather have them keep performing
or still have them around, their response would be have them around. I may be way off on that prediction. It was a sad weekend for the aviation world and for the family of Jane Wicker and we are praying. Again, this was not a criticism of Jane or any other entertainer who thrills their audiences. It’s an effort for me to understand the potential trade-off; and whether those choices are ultimately worth it.

Is Big Brother watching too closely? In his book, “1984,” author George Orwell noted, “If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself.” Even though he published his most famous work in 1949, Orwell seems to have had a sixth sense about the future of government scrutiny. Orwell’s dystopian society may seem too dark and ominous to be believable, but given the recent events surrounding the National Security Agency’s surveillance operations, it may be more reality than fiction. As more information is revealed about these activities, congressional hearings are turning up little in the way of explanations by those in charge. So why is it so offensive that the government would eaves drop on phone calls and emails to help prevent another 9-11 disaster? According to officials, hundreds of potential threats have been thwarted thanks to the tireless efforts of those who invade the privacy of law-abiding Americans. Unfortunately, since all of that information is classified, there is no evidence to show the public that corroborates their claim. Civil liberties watchdog groups pounced on this story as soon as the information
Gery L. Deer Deer in Headlines
was leaked to the press. The question begs asking, however - under which rock were the leaders of these groups living where they didn’t think this was going on already? To the bigger point, who cares? Modern society is full of surveillance cameras, listening devices and internet-based tracking systems, only a tiny fraction of which are used by government agencies. Most of them are operated privately to collect marketing or usage information or provide security. And people just accept it. It’s there, there’s nothing that can be done about it and just part of life in a technologically advancing society. In the early 1900s, “party lines” were the main method for which residential customers were provided with telephone service. Everyone on the same circuit would have to wait their turn to use the telephone and simply agree not to listen in on each
other’s conversations. Of course, this was a source of great amusement in early radio and television comedy sketches. Today, it would be viewed as a huge invasion of privacy and thoroughly unacceptable. Barreling through continually updated technology requires that people must adapt at a faster pace. Users of that technology should be aware that anything posted on the internet or passed through an electronic broadcast system (i.e.: cell phones, Wi-Fi, etc.) could be intercepted without their permission or knowledge. There’s no telling who is listening or reading any of it or what will become of that information. If the NSA or other government agencies are tracking information, the assumption should be that there is something worth listening to. If they’re violating the law based on having no just cause for acting on that information then it’s probably best to let the courts iron it out, not congress. The last thing anyone wants is for the one group in America with the most detrimental secrets – and with the hardest time keeping them - to be in control of everyone else’s. Whether there is legitimate cause for any branch of the
Jim Hightower Other Words
Most shocking, however, is the tin-eared, who-cares reaction by both Republican and Democratic leaders to this outrageous meta-surveillance of our private lives. Take Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican. He blustered: “It doesn’t bother me one bit that NSA has my number.” Hey, Senator Graham, it’s not your number
we’re worried about. It’s the government’s collection of our entire country’s numbers. Or Saxby Chambliss, a Georgia Republican: “To my knowledge, we have not had any citizen who has registered a complaint relative to the gathering of this information,” he blathered. Hello, Senator Clueless. No one knew to complain since y’all kept the program secret from us. And there’s no shortage of complaints now that it’s out in the open. President Barack Obama was even more ridiculous. He tried to rationalize his wholesale invasion of our privacy by declaring that Congress knew about the program, as did a special spy court that
I had a fabulous idea the other day. I’d like to see the world’s auto-makers start naming their new cars after people. Not famous people, mind you, but ordinary people. Then, once they start naming their cars after ordinary folks they could offer hefty discounts to those motorists who buy cars that are named after them. Hey, if they ever build a Buick Bob, I’ll buy it if they offer me a discount that’s supposedly too good to be true. I’m betting a lot of guys named Charles would buy Cadillac Chucks, too, and a slew of women named Christine would stand in long lines for a chance to pick up a new Chrysler Christine. I’m telling you it would work. Another advantage to this change in thinking by automakers is most of the really neat names of cars like Lark, Beetle, Wildcat, Dart, Voyager, Regal and so on have already been used. On the other hand, such
routinely reviews and blesses it. So it’s all legit, right? In a perplexed voice, Obama said that if people don’t trust the White House, Congress, and federal judges, “then we’re going to have some problems here.” Gosh sir, We the People have now learned that all three branches of government have furtively conspired for seven years to violate our privacy — so, no, we don’t trust any of them. And, yes, that is a biiiiiiig problem. OtherWords columnist Jim Hightower is a radio commentator, writer, and public speaker. He's also editor of the populist newsletter, The Hightower Lowdown.

names as Bill, Carl, Debbie, Sandra, Cheryl, Shirley, Duane, Doug, Dave, Don and Elmer have never been attached to automobiles. Another great thing about my clever idea is it’s only a matter of time before the auto-makers run out of neat new names for their products. “What do you call this one?” a prospective carbuyer asks. “Well … um … let’s call it …um … we call it a car,” the salesman replies.

Baseball’s offense is very offensive There’s something romantic about watching a pitchers’ dual, where good defense and timely hitting mean the difference between winning and losing. There’s also something to be said about offense, or in this case, the lack there of. Too often, it seems I’m watching games where teams are barely scraping together five hits. Offense throughout baseball is down – a continuing trend – but it’s not unexplainable. There are some good, young pitchers out there making life difficult on lineups throughout the league. The game is also cleaner. The days when middle-infielders were going deep 40 times a year during the steroid era are gone. The argument has been made that batters are too passive in their approach; that hitters aren’t acting with a sense of urgency and won’t swing at a first-pitch fastball, or have the where-with-all to crush a pitch when ahead in a 3-1 count. I don’t think it’s one of these things in particular, but rather a perfect storm. Batters need to be more aggressive, as too often, I’ve seen guys stare at pitches right down the pipe. A greater emphasis should also be put on contact, as strikeouts are also up (more on this later). And this in from Captain Obvious: A steroid-free game
By Nick
Dudukovich Reds Beat makes an enormous difference. Pitchers also benefitted in that era, but in different ways. Guys became more durable and careers were probably extended, but home runs started traveling 500 feet, fastballs weren’t averaging 110 mph. No matter where you’re opinion falls on the decline, here’s a breakdown of some key offensive stats entering the week of June 24: • Teams are averaging 4.23 runs per game this season, which is down slightly from a season ago (4.34). Compared to the year 2000 – the peak of the steroid era – where teams averaged 5.2 runs per game. • The number of hits per game (8.64) is also down for the seventh consecutive season. • Based off that stat, you’d probably expect batting averages to be down, and you’re right. The Reds have just one player batting over .300. That’s Joey Votto (.326). After him, the next best average belongs to Jay Bruce (.282). I bring up the Reds as one example. This isn’t a Cincinnati problem, it spans all of baseball, as MLB batters are hitting at a .254 clip this season. That’s down from .255
last year, and 17 points from 2000. To put this into a historical context, American League batters hit .259 in 1973, which witnessed the introduction of the designated hitter. • Even back in 1990 before the steroid boom, teams managed more runs (4.3), averaged slightly more hits (8.78) and hit for higher averages (.256), than now. This was during a time when the game was played in bigger, cookiecutter style stadiums. • OK, strikeouts. They’re up for the eighth straight year, as batters are swinging and missing an average of 7.55 times per game, but I wonder how much the teams care. Take the Cleveland Indians, for example. The Tribe was so hungry for power, they signed free-agent Mark Reynolds during the offseason. Over the last five years, he’s averaged 33 home runs, and 199 strikeouts. As expected, he already has 14 homers – to go along with 88 strikeouts – and we’re not even halfway through the season (and I don’t think the Indians mind). • It’ll be interesting to see which ways the pendulum swings in the future, but I’m hopeful the game will balance out. Baseball’s already gone through one dead-ball era, and I was fortunate enough to not live through it. Here’s hoping the same can be said about the game’s current place in time.

The outdoor Donor Café at the Dayton Community Blood Center (CBC) was decorated for the Memorial Day weekend Parrot Head Beach Party, but Doug arrived wearing a fleece jacket to ward off the chilly temperatures and stiff breeze. He was soon wearing a second jacket. It may not have been officially beach weather, but it was the official day of Doug’s milestone 100th lifetime blood donation. It’s a short trip from Doug’s work at Premier Health Partners headquarters in downtown Dayton to the Donor Center, but a long journey to the 100 LTD milestone. He made his first whole blood donation as an 18-year-old freshman at Heidelberg College in Tiffin, OH. His 100th donation became an early celebration of his 50th birthday, coming up July 10. And although he has been a CBC donor since 1994, this happened to be his first Parrot Head Party. “I wondered if I could get to a 100 before I made it to 50,” Doug said. “Only when I got into my 70s (donations) did I start thinking about it. I knew this next donation would be my 100th time. I got the email about the Parrot Head Party and I said, ‘Oh yea! 100 donations and I’m going to be there for the party!”
“Serving and Caring for the entire Family” Celebrating lives and providing meaningful tributes and services for loved ones is important to us. We would be honored to design a service that pays tribute to your pets their precious memories of the pet they loved. Pets are important members of our families. This is the reason Baker-Hazel & Snider Funeral Home & Crematory established Snider Pet Crematory. Photo submitted Doug Farinet of Englewood recently made his 100th blood donation. Doug soaked up the accomplishment – and some feeble sun rays – outside at the beach party tent. He enjoyed the cook-out, fruit smoothies and island decorations, but it was particularly appropriate that he reached his 100th donation on a chilly day. He was already wearing his fleece jacket, but was inspired to put on his new “Donor for Life – 100 LTD” jacket as a second layer. “There!” he said with a satisfied smile. “Now I’m warm!”
Blood donation requirements: Donors are required to provide a photo ID that includes their full name. Past CBC donors are also asked to bring their CBC donor ID card. Donors must be at least 16 years of age (16 years old with parental consent: form available at www.givingblood.org or at CBC branch & blood drive locations), weigh a minimum of 110 pounds, and be in good physical health.
