The group keeps a busy schedule performing at alumni banquets, anniversary parties and other special occasions, farm bureau functions, service club events, and special programs at retirement communities. Farmer Brown’s quartet will perform for local residents from 2 – 4 p.m. on July 27 at

Family to host Bill Davenport Memorial Blood Drive ENGLEWOOD — The family of former Englewood Police Officer Bill Davenport will honor his memory with the second annual Community Blood Center (CBC) Bill Davenport Memorial Blood Drive, scheduled for Wednesday, July 31 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Englewood Government Center. The drive will again be held on Bill’s birthday, July 31. The family considers it an uplifting way to celebrate, and to help boost blood collections during the challenging summer months. The inaugural drive was a success and the family is planning for a bigger response this year. “We’re hoping to exceed
Bill Davenport the blood donations we had last year and have it grow every year,” said Joann Davenport, Bill’s wife of 36 years. “I was thinking just today, Bill would be so proud
that we have done this.” Bill served the Englewood community for nearly 38 years in law enforcement. He joined the city police department in 1971 and was promoted to sergeant in 1989. He retired in 1997 but continued to work as a reserve office and then served as code enforcement officer until his full retirement in 2008. He lost a 10-year battle with blood cancer in 2011. He suffered from multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cells in bone marrow, and received multiple blood product transfusions. “We’re expanding the drive this year to include more raffles,” said Joann. “In addition to the 50/50 raffle we had last year, we approached business-
es and they responded by donating door prizes. We actually will have a separate raffle for a recliner that Gallery Home Furnishings (in Englewood) is sponsoring which was pretty nice of them.” The family hopes the door prizes and raffle will encourage more support of the blood drive. Half of the money raised from the special drawings will go to an operating fund for expenses and the other half will be donated to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Donors are encouraged to make an appointment for the July 31 Bill Davenport Memorial Blood Drive at www.DonorTime.com.

OPINION
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
The Zimmerman nightmare is over; or just beginning The trial of the century (so far) just wrapped up. It’s the trial that never should have been as I said in a previous column. I don’t say that suggesting I know whether Zimmerman did it with anger and malice in his heart or not, but because there was simply no irrefutable evidence of any kind saying he did. One can’t be convicted in America without evidence beyond a shadow of a doubt no matter how many voices say they should. But was the acquittal the end or beginning of the nightmare for George Zimmerman? I fear it might only be the start. There are enough loud and hate-filled voices out there that individuals or groups could very easily hound Zimmerman for the rest of his life no matter where he goes. Oh sure the number of folks shouting now will decrease but the fervor of those remaining will likely
Mi ke Scinto Guest Column not fade. In that group I suspect there are some who believe any action would be justified to balance the scales of justice in this case. George Zimmerman will have to be vigilant for the rest of his life in my opinion. Is that not a sort of prison? Then there are the legal issues. Some black leaders are pushing for a federal trial on civil rights charges. To me that has always been a slippery attempt to circumvent double jeopardy; which states once acquitted of charges you can never be tried on those allegations again for any reason. We
shall see in this case. The other very questionable attack is a civil trial suggesting Zimmerman was responsible for the death of Trayvon Martin and the burden of proof is much lower than the criminal trial; requiring merely a preponderance of the evidence showing liability. I would bet dollars to donuts that there will be one or more of those confrontations. It could be much the same outcome as the O.J. Simpson murder trial nearly 20 years ago. He was acquitted of murder charges in criminal court in the murder of his ex-wife and her friend but found responsible for their deaths and forced to sell most of his prized possessions to pay the families. I always felt Simpson was not innocent (a non-legal term) of the murders but once found to be not guilty in criminal court that should have been it. To me (I’m not
a lawyer, I just play one in this column and on the radio) once found not guilty, any more court action of any kind is double jeopardy. So while George Zimmerman won’t spend another night in jail for this tragic event (at least not a state prison) he may spend the rest of his life in a prison without bars. And if he really is completely innocent as he claims, is that true justice? Mike Scinto is a 37 year veteran talk show host serving locally, statewide and nationally behind the microphone.

Ensuring Ohio workers have the skills they need to fill open jobs Last week, I heard from Daniel Brewer, a Navy veteran from Cincinnati who could not find a good paying job after returning from Afghanistan. Though Daniel had substantial training in the Navy, moving home to Ohio, he had trouble translating his skills into the civilian workforce. Daniel’s experience is all too common. Time and time again I’ve heard similar stories throughout Ohio: biotech firms, high-tech manufacturers, and small businesses are hiring for open positions, but can’t find the workers with the right skills to fill these job openings. With too many Ohioans still unable to find work, we should be doing all that we can to ensure that our workers are qualified to fill Ohio jobs. Since 2007, I’ve convened more than 215 roundtables across Ohio’s 88 counties, listening to community and business leaders, workers, and entrepreneurs on ways to strengthen our economy. A theme that
Sherrod Brown In Your Hometown
developed early on was that despite high unemployment, employers are having a hard time finding workers with the skills necessary to fill the available jobs. As a result, job openings in highgrowth industries, like healthcare, clean energy, and biosciences, and even the manufacturing sector, are going unfilled. According to Forbes, Ohio ranks 10th per capita in the nation among states expecting the biggest looming skilled labor shortage – due, in part, to an aging population and limited workforce training resources. The skills gap exists – especially for careers in high-tech fields. This gap denies workers new oppor-
tunities they deserve and undermines our nation’s economic competitiveness. It also limits our state’s ability to attract new jobs and businesses. In response to the stories I heard during my early roundtables throughout Ohio about the need to close the skills gap, I first introduced the Strengthening Employment Clusters to Organize Regional Success (SECTORS) in 2008. Last week, I reintroduced it with Senator Susan Collins (RME). The SECTORS Act creates partnerships between educators, industry, and workforce training boards to ensure that workers have the right skills to get hired in high-tech, emerging industries with good-paying jobs. If we’re going to attract new employers, we need to ensure that local workforce development efforts support the needs of local industries. That’s what this bill does. It means community col-
leges, whether it’s Cincinnati State, Tri-C, Zane State, and Sinclair Community College or Rhodes State, and workforce investment boards, industry, and labor, working together to serve local needs. We know economic development and workforce skills training go hand-inhand. We’ve seen this in Youngstown with NAMII. When the skilled workers are there, more investments follow. It’s not only good for businesses; this legislation is also important for Ohio families. America has a unique opportunity to address the skills gap that prevents hardworking Americans— like Daniel Brewer—from finding good jobs and prohibits eager-to-grow companies from hiring the skilled workers needed to expand. We close the skills gap by going directly to the source of Ohio’s economic might: our skilled workers and innovative businesses.
Rural America and Immigration Reform The impact of immigration reform on rural America has not been at the forefront of the debate in Washington, D.C. The Center for Rural Affairs urges passage of comprehensive federal legislation to reform America’s fundamentally broken immigration policy. It is crucial that Congress understands that immigration reform is vitally important to rural America. Immigration reform should create opportunities for undocumented immigrants who fulfill the requirements for obtaining citizenship to remain in the U.S. as citizens, while creating a more robust
John
Crabtree Center for Rural Affairs process for legal immigration that shortens the waiting list for future immigrants. Also, limits on the number of manually skilled workers allowed to immigrate into the U.S. each year should be practical and appropriate and determined by an independent commission, free of parti-
san rancor. The U.S. 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 immigration used by earlier generations is today largely closed for all but the wealthy. Moreover, we need more effective enforcement of existing wage and labor laws and the prohibition on hiring undocumented immigrants and falsely classifying them as independent contractors. The Center for Rural Affairs stands ready to encourage and participate in efforts to fully engage immi-
grants in rural communities through support for minority business development, voter registration, leadership development and other means. These approaches bring people together and build community - things we work for every day. The Center for Rural Affairs was established in 1973 as an unaffiliated nonprofit corporation under IRS code 501(c)3. The Center for Rural Affairs was formed by rural Nebraskans concerned about family farms and rural communities, and works to strengthen small businesses, family farms and ranches, and rural communities.
Letters to the Editor
‘
Positive Sign for area’s Aerospace Industry To the Editor: I enjoyed Ron Nunnari’s recent article, “Lockheed Martin brings F-35 cockpit demonstration to ETI Tech.” I was pleased to see the Independent was able to cover this excellent event that highlighted the great aerospace work going on in
the Miami Valley and the Greater Dayton area. Congressman Mike Turner, as Chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces, is playing a big role in Washington to see to it that our troops have the very best equipment, and that the State of
Ohio continues to be an envy of other states when it comes to the defense and aerospace sectors. ETI Tech’s new facility in Englewood will allow it to help supply the US Military’s excellent new, next–generation fighter jet, the F-35. If the tremendous showing of community, busi-
ness, & elected officials onhand for the ribbon cutting is any indication, then the future of our area’s aerospace manufacturing is very strong. Cathy Hutton CEO, Northmont Area Chamber of Commerce Englewood, Ohio
These guys are good at buying groceries I read a newspaper story recently that said more men are shopping for groceries these days. One store chain has determined that 6 percent more men have become their household’s No. 1 grocery shoppers. That same study shows 31 percent of grocery shopping is being handled by guys. That’s up from about 14 percent in the 1980s, according to the report. It doesn’t surprise me. I visit my favorite grocery store at least three times a week. I’ve been doing it since my wife passed away and I suddenly inherited the title of chief cook- bottle washer and grocery-shopper at my house. Over that span I’ve learned a lot about shopping for groceries. I start by loading my cart with the essential food items I will need to survive, see. Then, AFTER I leave the beer aisle, I’m ready to get down to the serious business of buying the other items on my well-crafted grocery list. My first concern is buying “healthy” food items. So, after tossing two giantsize bags of potato chips into my cart, I move on to the fruits and vegetables where I add tomatoes, lettuce and a couple of bottles of to-die-for bleu

cheese salad dressing. Then I head for the meat department. My preference is filet mignon but if the store doesn’t have any that day I snare a pound or two of pork chops and a package of bacon that seems to be waiting anxiously to become part of a luscious BLT. In my defense, I bypass the candy aisle and leave the soft drinks in the cooler case. The other thing I’ve noticed is I frequently surprise even myself with my new-found shopping skills. Why just the other day I was making my grocery list for the week and I wrote down “Gain Dish Detergent.” After years of writing things like “dish washing stuff ” and “kitchen soap” I actually knew the name of a detergent. Amazing, huh? Contact Bob at bbatz@woh.rr.com

Annual Annie Oakley Festival features many unique Wild West performances include the National Whip Speed and Accuracy Exhibition Competition, the world’s only Bullwhip Fast Draw contest and a couple of world record attempts by some of the whip artists. Presented in the spirit of the stage-style Wild West shows of the late 19th Century, each production will include some detailed history about how these arts came to be and who still practices them today. Some of the players include Guinness Book World Record holders Robert Dante and Chris Camp (America’s Got Talent, The Tonight Show), champion knife thrower Kirk Bass, of Xenia, Ohio, and his daring wife Melodee in the suspenseful Bass Blades impalement show, and much more. On Saturday evening at 6 p.m., the Grand Wild West Showcase will feature the regular cast hosted by the music
and comedy of The Brothers & Co. Variety Show. “We pull out all the stops on Saturday night,” says Gery L. Deer, an award-winning whip artist, writer and the producer of the Annie Oakley Western Arts Showcase. “The Brothers & Co. Variety Show is a one-ofa-kind musical variety show from a by-gone era, full of comedy, magic, and some of the best four-part music on stage today. There will be nothing else like this anywhere at the festival!” Often compared to The Statler Brothers or Oak Ridge Boys, The Brothers & Co. offers audiences a brilliant combination of four-part vocals and Vaudeville-style comedy and family-friendly variety routines. Of course, without talented performers, none of this would be possible. “The Annie Oakley Western Arts Showcase wouldn’t have lasted eleven years if it didn’t
exhibit the best western arts entertainment anywhere in the state with real practitioners of each skill,” says Deer, who the event in started Jamestown, Ohio, back in 2002 as a Midwestern convention of western artists. “These are talented performers with genuine ability, no fakery, no tricks. Everything you see in our show is real.” The event is sponsored by GLD Commercial Enterprises Writing, The Brothers & Co. Entertainers, Culligan of Dayton, and the Annie Oakley Festival Committee.

Northmont grad hired as Butler basketball coach By NIicholas Vanderppol Community News Intern VANDALIA — The Vandalia-Butler basketball team hired former Columbus State head coach Pat Carlisle to lead the Aviators toward a promising future within the community. A 1995 graduate of Northmont High School, Carlisle has many years of experience coaching on the collegiate level. His first gig was with Miami University Middletown as an associate head coach, followed by Sinclair Community College as a head assistant coach, and spending two years at Wittenberg University as an assistant coach. That experience was what jumped off the page for Butler Athletic Director Ryan Rogers. “His experience at the college level and running a program was just phenomenal,” said Rogers. “His energy, organization, knowledge of the game were very evident in the interview process and we are excited to have him.

Pat Carlisle He lives in Vandalia and has family roots here and seems very excited to be at Butler.” helped Carlisle Wittenberg achieve the NCAA DIII National Runner – Up in 2006. He is most notably known for building a junior college powerhouse at Columbus State. In seven years at the helm, Carlisle sported a 160-59 overall record. “I left for two reasons,” Carlisle said. “It was a part-time job, and we had been winning so much, I wanted to do it in a different way. I want to build on the past four years of Butler basketball. 10
years ago, it was all about fundamental basketball. I want to get back to that.” Coaching at the high school level can be rewarding and a change of pace. However, Carlisle made the most of his experience while at Columbus State. His accolades include six coach of the year awards, 2008 NJCAA National Runner – Up, and ending the 2009 season as the NJCAA No. 1 team. Columbus State, which compiled an overall record of 28-4 for the 2009 season, was defeated in the Elite Eight game by eventual national runner up, Kirkwood Community College. He has also helped the student-athletes at Columbus achieve team records for GPA. The Cougars have been one of the country’s most successful NJCAA programs. Carlisle is the only coach in program history to guide the men’s program to the national tournament, which he did in his second and third season at Columbus State. In Carlisle’s time at
Columbus State, the school has seen five former Cougars move on to play NCAA Division I. A highpoint in his career came in Summer 2012 when seven Cougars signed scholarships to play at four-year universities. On the court, Carlisle wants to instill a strong offensive and defensive philosophy at Butler. Defensively, he is looking to run 22 feet of manto-man while sprinkling in some zone throughout the games. Offensively, he believes in three guards and two forwards most of the time but will have four guards and 1 big at times. Off the court, Carlisle has an associate’s degree from Sinclair, bachelor’s degree from Wright State University, and a master’s degree from the University of Cincinnati. All of which, were in education. Carlisle has taught at Miami Valley Career Technology Center for the past 12 years. He is a vocational teacher of Microsoft office, graphics, video, and web
design, along with being the head advisor of Business Professionals of America. Carlisle credits three educators that made him the educator that he is today. Former MiamiMiddletown Head Coach Eric Thomas, current Wittenberg Head Coach Bill Brown, and current Athletic Director at Columbus State Scott Nichols have all had an impact on Carlisle’s career. Perhaps, the most important role that he wants to play while coaching in Vandalia is to help pass the levy. “My wife, Diana, and I are looking forward to being on the Levy Committee led by Mary Kilsheimer to get this levy through to help our schools, our community, and our children,” he said. Carlisle and Diana, a high school English teacher, currently reside in Vandalia with their two children, Megan and Danny. (Vandalia Drummer Editor Darrell Wacker contributed to this story.)
