Township looks to renew fire service
Pioneer Weekend to begin Saturday at the tavern during that history of time,” Purke said. “Our director, Bob Patton, will be here. He is very knowledgeable about the museum. He will help do tours.” Purke and his wife, Karen, will play the parts of Benjamin Overfield and wife Rebecca Overfield to welcome guests as they enter the building. There also will be additional material and artifacts on display accross the street at the Overfield Tavern Annex. The event will be held Saturday and Sunday, and will be open from 1-5 p.m. on both days. There is no admission fee, though donations will be accepted.
MONROE TOWNSHIP — Monroe Township has placed a renewal levy on the Nov. 5 ballot for fire protection services, which are currently contracted through the Tipp City Fire Department. Trustee Martin English identifies a need for the services. “Protection of one’s private property from fire is a basic need we all have. Losses from fire can be devastating and can even result in loss of life. Fire service personnel also respond to automobile accidents and other events where fire or hazardous conditions require special training and equipment,” English stated. “In addition, the quality and response rating of your fire service provider is recognized by insurance companies and is reflected in your premium rates.” The current levy up for renewal is for one mill for three years based on 2004 tax valuation of property. The levy generates $127,000 per year. Passage of the levy will not increase taxes for property owners and no changes will be made to the existing services the levy covers. It would renew the levy, which ends Dec. 31 of this year. Currently, Monroe Township fire services are provided through a contract with the Tipp City Fire Department. Monroe Township could not provide the level of fire protection services that unincorporated township residents now receive at the current funding level. “Two fire departments would require additional personnel, a new fire station and additional equipment, all at great initial and ongoing expense. The current arrangement benefits all township residents, inside and outside of Tipp City,” English said. The contract enables Tipp City Fire Department to respond to structure fires, grass fires, automobile fires or accidents, chemical or fuel spills and also provide fire safety education opportunities to residents. The levy also funds the purchase of fire department vehicles used in Monroe Township. “The township currently owns four fire trucks and each is specialized for providing fire protection needs in the unincorporated areas of Monroe Township,” English said. Fire levy funds cannot be used for any purpose other than the prevision of fire protection in unincorporated Monroe Township. The first fire contract between Monroe Township and the Tipp City Fire Department was signed in 1952. That same year the first Fire Protection Services Levy was passed in unincorporated Monroe Township.

TROY — This weekend, people can take a trip back to the future — and they don’t need a DeLorean to get there. Overfield Tavern, 201 E. Water St. in Troy, will host the People of the Ohio Country as they provide demonstrations of early 1800s cooking and crafts. Pioneer Weekend at Overfield Tavern will bring to life characters from the early 1800s and will focus on what it was like to be in Troy during that time period. “We will focus on the history of the time, and what was important to

That’s what our whole activity is about — to familiarize people with what people were doing when Troy was founded.” Pioneer Weekend at Overfield Tavern — a building that has been in Troy since 1808 — will have a variety of activities and demonstrations for people to enjoy. Pioneer dishes will be prepared, though the dishes will not be available to eat due health code regulations. The People of the Ohio Country will portray characters and share artifacts from that time period. “The people who are here will portray things that would of happened

people out here,” said Terry Purke, coordinator for the People of the Ohio Country and Overfield board member. “Troy had just been founded in 1807. When they formed Miami County, they designated Troy as the county seat, which is what they then called the seat of the government. They specified where it would be, they paid a guy to lay it out and the folks started buying in-lots that he had laid out — and Benjamin Overfield was one of them. “What was downtown Troy was a big woods, so people built houses by cutting trees down — and that’s the logs they used for cabins. Those were the logs they

A South Carolina man in a custody dispute with a onetime girlfriend broke into her parents’ home and fatally shot the woman, her parents and two children, the sheriff said. The man then killed himself. Investigators found the bodies of six people ranging in age from 9 to 51 when they responded Tuesday to a call from a man who said he was thinking about hurting himself.

TROY — The city of Troy will purchasing two new chairs to seat two new city council members on Jan. 1, 2014. On the Nov. 5 ballot, city of Troy voters will be adding two new wards to its map, according to state law after the city’s population barely tipped the 25,000 population count in the 2010 U.S. Census. Bill Twiss and Brock Heath are running unopposed, as are the rest of the city council members, on Nov. 5. Both peti-
tioned to be elected on Nov. 5. The two new wards, 5 and 6, were adopted on Dec. 5, 2011. Those new wards will be in effect and represented beginning Jan. 1, 2014. According to clerk of council Sue Knight, the population change in the city added the two new seats for the city council. The ward map has since been revamped and accounts for the new wards. Knight said the city of Troy’s population according to the census is 25,058. The state requires additional representation when a city’s population
