Local News Northmont Rotary installs new officers BMV reduces fee for late registration COLUMBUS — Effective July 1, the current fee for late renewal of motor vehicle registration will be reduced from $20 to $10. In addition, the previous 7-day grace period associated with the fee has been extended to 30 days. The BMV asks drivers to keep in mind that it is still illegal to operate a motor vehicle after the registration expiration date as doing so can result in citations and fines. In order to avoid a late fee, the BMV reminds vehicle owners to complete renewals up to 90 days before the expiration date, either in person, at your local deputy registrar, by mail or on-line at www.OPLATES.com. Vehicle registrations typically expire on the motorist’s birthday, as some mistakenly believe expiration is at the end of the month. For more information on the BMV late fee reduction please call (614) 752-7800 or visit www.ohiobmv.gov.

By Andrew Wilson Contributing Writer ENGLEWOOD — In an effort to prevent blighting and hazardous effects to the City, the City of Englewood Tuesday unanimously approved a bill to amend property maintenance codes throughout the City. The changes further define the City’s expectations for maintenance of public areas such as sidewalks, curbs, drive approaches and streets. Furthermore, it strengthens the City’s authority to address violations after the issuance of a notice. Such changes include what is considered public nuisances, including any paint

or color scheme used on a building that is injurious to the surrounding neighborhood. Additionally, any drive approaches or public sidewalks, curbs or streets touching private property and are not maintained in harmony with surrounding properties will be considered nuisances as well. “What we did was attempt to correct some procedural issues, such as I mentioned, the resolution with the tree limb,” City Manager Eric Smith said. “And strengthen certain provisions where we’re a little bit more effective and improve our code enforcement activities.” Those found to be in violation of the City code will be

ordered by the Housing Officer to to correct such conditions. In other business, City Council approved a resolution authorizing Smith to take immediate action on a dead tree located on the property of 434 Nies Ave. The tree, which was one of the reasons for the new property maintenance code legislation, has been in violation of City ordinances for several years. Smith stated that the owner of the property containing the tree doesn’t reside in Englewood and has been living in a nearby town for an unspecified amount of time. With the passage of the resolution, the City will remove the tree from the

ENGLEWOOD — The 40th annual Englewood Art Festival – “Artists in the Woods” is set for Saturday

property and the cost will be placed on the City’s tax duplicate. City Council also approved a bill to change one part-time dispatcher position to full time and give the City five full-time dispatchers. City officials stated that the move is necessary due to the increased number of number of calls as well as issues with the availability of part-time dispatchers. A monthly report by Montgomery County stated that the City saw 340 emergency calls per dispatcher last month and 1,361 total. “It’s gonna cost us less because the part timers actually get the same hourly rate as the full timers,” Smith

said. “The only difference is health care, and so we’ll actually save some money on not having to locate part-time people or using full-time people time and a half to cover the shift, so it makes economic sense as well.” During his report, Smith stated that the City received an Auditor of State award for its financial audit for the second consecutive year. Smith credited the work of Finance Director Janine Cooper for helping the City to receive the award once again. Smith also stated that the sidewalk repair project is currently under way throughout the City and the street resurfacing project is expected to begin after July 4.

OPINION

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

Revolutionary reminder: A budget that celebrates the freedom to succeed COLUMBUS — This week we honor the birth of our great nation and the freedoms for which generations of Americans have fought a n d — s o m e t i m e s — g ive n their lives. It’s a time to spend with friends and family and celebrate the liberty and opportunity that continues to make the United States a force for good in the world. As a fitting companion to Independence Day, I recently signed into law a budget bill for our state which reinforces some of the best things about America and Ohio, especially the freedom to pursue our dreams and the opportunity to reach our God-given potential. All too often we hear about fighting and gridlock in government and the inability for elected officials to get anything done. It frustrates me also and I do everything I can in my work as governor to cultivate a productive, civil atmosphere that allows Ohio’s state government to work better and more efficiently for Ohio taxpayers. That’s what happened in writing this budget, I’m proud to say, and why we were able to get so many needed reforms done.

John R. Kasich

Governor of Ohio

Freedom from high, unfair taxes was part of what motivated our nation’s first patriots and it’s something for which we still strive today. This budget cuts income taxes by 10 percent and cuts taxes for almost every small business by 50 percent. Allowing Ohioans and small businesses—who employ half of Ohio’s private sector workers—to keep more of their own money is essential if we want to continue Ohio’s economic growth. We know that these kinds of pro-growth policies work because of how they’ve helped propel Ohio’s comeback in the past two years. Last month our state was the number one job-creator in the nation and a recent survey of CEOs by Chief Executive Magazine said Ohio has the most-improved climate for business in the nation. Our

new budget will keep this success going. To ensure that every Ohioan has the chance to participate in a strong, prosperous Ohio, the budget also devotes considerable resources to education and training. Our new Achievement Everywhere plan invests $1.5 billion in new funds into Ohio’s classrooms to provide valuable support to students and their teachers. It also creates a new $250 million fund to encourage school improvements that increase achievement and make our education dollars go even further. And college students will now have better support for achieving their education goals with a new funding formula that rewards public colleges and universities for improving graduation rates. All of these improvements help make sure that Ohioans have the skills, training and experience to prepare for a brighter job future and to take part in the economic rebirth we’re beginning to see take hold in Ohio. We’ve got more work to do, but Ohio is making big progress toward getting back on track. Job creation has been—and continues to be—

Does “Marriage” even belong in government? Thirty-eight years ago next month I was blessed enough to have Kathy Jessup agree to marry me. I made the best decision I ever could have made that day. I won’t force her to take the 5th by asking HER that question though! Back then there was only one combination of folks who could walk up to that alter, or into town hall to get hitched; it was a man and a woman. And to me, that’s always been what marriage is about. I’m not preaching but simply stating, in the Book of Exodus the word marriage is used 19 times as I recall. I’m by no stretch of the imagination a Biblical scholar, and certainly no theologian, but in my mind “marriage” has always been a religious sacrament, term, ceremony and life commitment. If you were going to an Elvis impersonator in Vegas to perform the ceremony at the Chapel of the

Mi ke Scinto Guest Column

Blue Suede Shoes, that wasn’t (in my mind) a marriage. The Supreme Court’s (partial) decision allowing samesex marriage in California should never have been in the court system or city hall to begin with. The very reason our great nation exists is religious freedom and avoiding governmental pronouncement of how our religion should, or should not be practiced. In my eyes the debate over this issue is a shining example of lawmakers and the courts treading where they have no business.

When two individuals form a union, or a life contract, that’s what the license should have always been called; a contract. It should not be a marriage license. A marriage, or religious union, is something handled with the two folks involved, their religious leader and their deity. If two men, two women, a man and a woman choose to get “married” that has to be worked out spiritually and not with the state. They can then call it anything they want. From a legal standpoint they have their contract, but the term marriage is separate from that. I’ve already stated that the God Kathy and I worship tells us that unique religious bond called marriage is between one man and one woman. I know others believe it’s between two men or two women in their cases. And since I’m not the Creator of the Universe I can’t, and won’t

have a hard enough time keeping my own walk on the straight and narrow. So the bottom line is, from a state (legal) position I don’t believe any union should be called a marriage. From a religious perspective, that isn’t up to me; or any other human being to decide. It’s really all so simple. Why didn’t they just ask me in the first place?

Letters to the Editor The more we hide from God, the more evil increases To the Editor: An abortion doctor kills babies born alive. A mother kills her little girl. A man kidnaps three women and terrorized them for a decade. Half of present marriages end in divorce. The news media questions the increase of evil. How can we explain the increase of evil? In Genesis 3 we read of the progenitors of the whole human race sinning against God and thereby becoming sinners. Their first act as sinners was to hide from God. It should not surprise anyone that their descendants have a

propensity to hide from God. It seems only natural that the more successful descendants of Adam are in hiding from God the more evil in society increases. Do we have any evidence of that? During the first 100 or so years of the growth and founding of America the pulpits of all denominations were aflamed with confronting their hearers with the character of God. An example was the one time president of Princeton’s sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.” Americans were constantly reminded that God was pres-

ent with them in their every action. They lived with the thought of Ecclesiastes 11:9. “Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.” Today it isn’t the character of God that is on display. Today the pulpits, liberal or conservative, are filled with human relationships; how to have a better marriage, how to manage people, how to get along with your neighbor,

etc. Americans are hiding from God with religious activity. Walking with God is taught as having good human relations. Whereas in times past walking with God was treated as having a personal spiritual relation with Jesus as led by the Holy Spirit. If we are to understand man we must know God who created man in His image. Perhaps if America quits hiding from God, God may once again bless America. Yours praying America quits hiding from God

I would like to take a moment to respond to Mike Scinto’s editorial, “Thrills of our Lives, but at what cost?” regarding the early deaths of stunt performers. I can sympathize with the question of “testing fate.” However, as a Christian, I have to ask myself, “Do I actually believe what the Bible says?” Scripture never mentions fate or chance as a power in our world. Regarding death, in Psalm 39 we are told, “All the days ordained for me

were written in your book before one of them came to be.” Because my father died when I was 11, my mother when I was 29, and my only sibling when I was 32, I have really struggled with this verse. Is it true that God has authority over when we die? It is difficult to accept that there are things out of our control. We especially want to believe that we have some control over our deaths – if we just exercise and eat the right foods we will live a long life. I think that idea is contrary to scrip-

ture. The Bible makes clear that God is sovereign over all things, even the moment of our deaths. That doesn’t mean that we spend our lives seeking thrills without regard to anything else. As Christians, we are called to live a life that glorifies God. If we can glorify God through tightrope walking across the Grand Canyon, that is great. However, if we are seeking our own glory or pleasure, then we need to rethink our priorities. I would like to strike the same tone as Mike did and

ents tend to follow all the rules parents follow when it comes time to finding things for the grandchildren to do that are both safe and fun, grandparents win hands down every time. When I was a kid, my grandparents were the delightful aroma of freshbaked cookies in the kitchen and bedtime stories and hugs and kisses and faded family photographs on every living room table and a backyard Concord grape arbor. I can still hear my grandmother shout “Land sakes!” when she was amazed by something or other. I can still see the satisfied smile on grandpa’s face whenever he took me down the rickety stairs into his dimly-lighted cellar to look at and touch his amazing collection of fishing rods and reels and peer into his many tackle boxes that were filled to overflowing with all sorts of colorful lures.

However, I am trying to live a life in which I trust God even when I don’t understand how everything fits together.

JD’S offers donors cool way to support CBC Blood drive boosts supply during challenging holiday week ENGLEWOOD — Last summer, July began with a heat wave so intense it could threaten to melt the coolest scoop of JD’s Old Fashioned Frozen Custard at the Englewood community blood drive. The Community Blood Center (CBC) Bloodmobile returned to JD’s Monday, July 1 under mercifully cooler, cloudier skies, and with the same promise of “A Pint for a Pint.” JD’s likes to give CBC a boost during the busy July 4th holiday week by hosting a mobile community blood drive, and “sweetening” the deal with specialty cookies in the Donor Café and coupons for a free JD’s Old Fashioned Frozen Custard for everyone who registers to donate. The results were rewarding for JD’s owner Cindy Gress,

who is coordinator of the blood drive. On Monday 50 registered to donate, including four first-time donors, resulting in 46 donations for 115 percent of the collection goal. Many JD’s employees support the blood drive, including Kristen Wilbanks who stepped out back to the Bloodmobile to donate. “I always wanted to, but I couldn’t do it until last year,” she said about her first lifetime donation at Northmont High School. The idea of frozen custard on the first day of July became the inspiration for some mom-and-daughter and mom-and-son bonding. Carla Miller and her 17-year-old son John came to the blood drive to donate together. It was Carla’s first lifetime donation. John made his first

donation as a 16-year-old (with parental permission) at Northmont High School. On Monday he made his third, qualifying him for the CBC Red Cord Honor Program. “They (CBC) called because he was a donor before,” Carla said. “They were giving away custard – plus a free shirt! – so I thought I might as well join him!” Everyone who registered to donate received the coupon for free custard, plus the free “King of the Road – Blood Donor – Summer 2013” Tshirt. Everyone who registered to donate was automatically entered into the “King of the Road Summer Blood Drive” drawing to win a Harley-Davidson Road Road King Classic motorcycle. (Must be 18 or older to win).

HUBER HEIGHTS — Hearts for ABA, a dedicated center for behavioral therapy and instruction targeting children diagnosed with autism or other developmental disabilities, opened its doors effective July 1 in Huber Heights. ABA, or Applied Behavioral Analysis, is the only scientifically proven therapeutic program for helping people with autism improve learning and behavioral skills as they grow in adapting to real world activities. Nicole Morey, MA, BCBA, is a Board Certified Behavioral Analyst and founder of Hearts for ABA. Morey has been regional consultant working with children and teens in autism therapeutic programs for a number

of years. “Our program has been growing tremendously over the past couple of years, in terms of children needing these services as well as a centralized location to serve the particular need of the kids on the spectrum,” states Morey. “Even between therapy sessions and related services – like speech and occupational therapy – our kids need specially designed social and life skills activities that day care environments just can’t provide effectively.” Hearts for ABA is located at 5212 Brandt Pike and offers: * ABA instruction in oneto-one or one-to-two with an ABA trained instructor * Speech Therapy, Physical Therapy, and/or Occupational

Therapy by licensed professionals * Life Skills Development – Toileting, Hygiene, Self Care * Social Skills Development – Peer, Siblings, Class, Community * Coordination with Individualized Educational Plans (IEPs) with area schools * After School Enrichment Clients have multiple options for taking part in Hearts for ABA activities. An initial evaluation and review of medical and educational information starts the process. Three hour programs – one morning and one afternoon – are offered for core ABA therapies. Clients may attend one or both. Clients attending either public or private schools can opt for the after school

enrichment programs. Speech, Occupational, and Physical therapies can be scheduled at the center according to treatment plans. “Flexibility in designing services for our kids is important. Just as anyone with autism has unique qualities and needs, so must their learning program,” says Morey. “Actually having one location that has center with centrally located professionals and services allows us to be flexible to meet the needs of our kids from 3 to 12 years of age.” Hearts for ABA accepts numerous insurance programs as well as the Autism Scholarship Program. For more information, contact Morey at 937-572-8916.

From the archives of the Randolph Township Historical Society Englewood United Brethren Church, c. 1938. The Englewood United Brethren (U. B. ) Church was the predecessor of the Englewood United Methodist Church located at 107 North Walnut Street. The Church is celebrating its 125th anniversary in 2013. The original U. B. Church was organized in 1888 and the first church building was erected on land donated by Christian Herr on the SW corner of North Walnut and Herr Streets. The original frame building constructed in 1889 was remodeled in 1915 and again in the 1930s (above) with the addition of a basement and a side entrance with steps. This photograph, shared by Robert C. (Tuck) Lodge, shows the remodeled Church as it looked about 1938. In 1946 the U. B. Church became known as the Evangelical United Brethren, which merged with the Methodist denomination in 1968 to form the United Methodist Church. A two-story brick educational wing was constructed south of this building in 1955 and dedicated in September 1956. The current brick sanctuary with its imposing spire was completed in 1967 and the frame building shown in this photo was demolished. Many people associated with the founding of early Englewood were members of this congregation through the years: their surnames were Berry, Binkley, Herr, Iams, Mumma, Nill, Peffley, and Sinks to name a few. The Society is always interested in obtaining local historic photos. If you have similar items to share, please call 832-1858.

Ohio State Highway Patrol releases ‘Wrong-Way’ crash report Most wrong-way crashes occur at night by impaired drivers COLUMBUS — In anticipation of the July 4th holiday, the Ohio State Highway Patrol released a report June 28 illustrating the dangers of wrong-way drivers. The research brief “WrongWay Crashes on Divided Roadways” provides important information regarding the 60 wrong-way crashes that occurred on Ohio’s divided roadways from January 2011 through April 2013. These

crashes resulted in 31 fatalities and 85 non-fatal injuries. “What we learned from this study is that most of these crashes are occurring at night, by impaired drivers,” said Colonel John Born, Patrol superintendent. “And that these types of crashes will more than likely end with a fatality.” The report shows that more than half of the wrong-way drivers were suspected of

alcohol or drug impairment at the time of the crash, a rate that is 12 times higher than all at-fault drivers involved in crashes in Ohio during the time period – with more than four out of five of these wrong-way crashes occurring

at night. While 37 percent of wrongway crashes were fatal, only 0.35 percent of all crashes on Ohio roadways during the reporting period were fatal. This suggests wrong-way crashes were over 100 times more likely to involve a traffic fatality than all crashes that

occurred in the state. The analyses and results contained in the report are aimed at further understanding the driving behaviors, personal factors and other circumstances related to the dangers posed by wrong-way drivers on Interstates and other high-speed roadways.

This study was completed to assist law enforcement planners, legislators, engineers, and all motorists as they take measures to guard against the tragic outcomes that may be caused by wrong-way driving. A copy of the report is available at www.statepatrol.ohio.gov.

How to protect children from molestation by adult instructors BOULDER, CO — Hardly a week passes without another story in the news about a child being molested by an adult. Quite often, these adults are in a “position of authority”, with private access to their child victims. Kids can be especially vulnerable in the summertime, when they are in a variety of summer camps and programs, designed to keep them engaged. The problem is that many of these programs can inadvertently expose the child to situations that can lay the foundation for sexual molestation and other forms of abuse. “While nobody can ever guarantee a child’s safety with adult supervisors, parents can take specific steps to drasti-

cally reduce the likelihood of child abuse” states Dan Page, President at IDhonesty. Page recommends three steps to protect kids who are being supervised by adult instructors: 1.) Background Check: Run a nationwide background check on any adult that will have contact with your child. Make sure the background check includes a SexOffender search. 2.) Awareness Training: Insist that any adult supervisor has successfully completed child abuse prevention training. 3.) Two-Deep Leadership: Never allow a child to be in a situation where they are alone with an adult instructor. Insist that there is always another

adult or at the very least, another child present. Mr. Page was a volunteer for four years with Big Brothers/Big Sisters, and has been an adult volunteer with Boy Scouts for nine years. “Over the years as an adult supervisor, I’ve been very impressed with the policies and procedures that Boy Scouts enact to reduce the likelihood that child abuse can

occur,” states Page “Their “Two-Deep” requirement that no adult can be left alone with a child drastically reduces the likelihood of abuse.” Page runs a business called “ I D h o n e s t y ” (www.idhonesty.com) that provides a background check services for any parent or organization that wants to quickly check the background of adults in the U.S.
