BUTLER TWP. — Dozens of unhappy Walmart employees gathered in front of the Miller Lane store on Monday afternoon to rally in support of better work conditions. The workers claim that Walmart has retaliated against employees who have spoken out against the company. Scott Stringer, 27, has worked at Walmart for five years, three of which have been at the Miller Lane store. He said he would be delivering a letter to store management on Monday afternoon notifying them of his intention to strike. “There are about 20 local employees on strike,” said Stringer. “The retaliation has to stop.” Stringer claims that management retaliated against
him after he began speaking up about his concerns. “They retaliated against me, and kept me away from all the other employees,” said Stringer. Stringer and other employees are part of a national group called OUR Walmart which stand for Organization United for Respect at Walmart. The workers also called on Walmart to pay its Associates a minimum salary of $25,000 per year and to offer more full-time work. Not all employees joined the rally. Jared Lee has worked at Walmart in various positions for 22 years and says he doesn’t understand why other workers are unhappy. “I’m happy with my job,” said Lee, an overnight shift manager. “I don’t have any issues with the company at all. I can support my family, and if any of that had been
an issue I would not have been here as long as I have been.” Lee, who began as an hourly employee, has worked his way into management and doesn’t understand why workers rallied publicly instead of trying to deal with issues in the store. “When an Associate goes outside the store to raise concerns, it makes me wonder why they didn’t come Darrell Wacker I Civitas media to management inside the Striking Walmart workers rallied outside the Miller Lane Walmart on store to address whatever Monday afternoon to protest alleged company retaliation as well as to the issue is,” he said. “Had seek higher pay and more full-time work. any of the Associates outside came to me I would is not the easiest thing in were behind, and I needed have tried to resolve their the world and you have to something right then.

Surplus fire engine donated to MVCTC
VANDALIA — The Vandalia City Council began the search process for a new City Manager at Monday’s meeting. The city will engage the services of Don Vermillion, the Fitz Center Director of Public Projects at the University of Dayton. Vermillion was instrumental in the City’s hiring of Jeff Hoagland as City Manager. Mayor Arlene Setzer said that the City hopes to have someone in place within six months, but that time is not the most important factor in the selection process. “We are not interested in punching a time card or a certain date,” said Setzer at Monday’s meeting. “We want to get the right person.” Vermillion served as City Manager in Miamisburg from 1976-79 and as Montgomery County Administrator from 1988-1997. He has been teaching in the University of Dayton’s Master of Public Administration program since 1992. The city is looking for a City Manager after the resignation of Rob Anderson in early November. Doug Knight, the city’s Police Chief, is currently serving
as Interim City Manager. In other action the Council approved an ordinance in its second reading setting appropriations for 2014 totalling $36,251,974. Council also approved a resolution to donate a surplus 1987 fire engine to the Miami Valley Career Technology Center. In a memo to Council, Fire Chief Chad Follick said that the cost of maintaining the vehicle has surpassed its useful value to the department. “…the engine is starting to create some significant maintenance issues for us,” said Follick. “These maintenance and upkeep costs could be saved and better used to extend the useful life of our ‘front line’ apparatus…” Follick’s memo states that the engine could be sold for $3,000 to $3,500 but asked the Council to donate the vehicle to the MVCTC’s firefighting vocational program in which the City is a partner. “We believe that this program (MVCTC) could greatly enhance the ‘pool’ of future public servants,” said Follick. The measure passed unanimously. The Council also approved a variance
for a highway sign for the Longhorn Steakhouse that is being built at I-75 and Benchwood Road; amended the Joint Economic Development Zone with Butler Township to encompass the Vandalia Rental property on Enle Road; authorized the City Manager to enter into an agreement with the Montgomery County Public Defender’s office for public defender services; and approved a bid of $14,360 from Sign Dynamics to move the Hock’s Pharmacy sign out of the new right-of-way created by the Dixie Drive widening project. Council also received a bill listing in the amount of $2,489,471.70 for the month of October. Items over $50,000 included tax collections for the cities of Brookville, Clayton, and West Milton; $114,472 for right-of-way acquisition for the Dixie Drive widening project; water and trash service; retirement contributions; $67,568 to Sturm Construction for the Buttercup/ Gabriel improvements; health and dental insurance claims; and payroll. The Vandalia City Council will meet on Monday, November 18 at 7 p.m. The workshop will begin at 6 p.m. and is open to the public.
Identity, cause of death not determined in Vandalia park death DARRELL WACKER Drummer Editor
VANDALIA — The body found in Art Van Atta Park on Monday will require further investigation to determine the identity and cause of death. Ken Batz, Director of the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office, said that the condition of the body had deteriorated so much that more investigation is necessary. “We are ‘pending’ the death certificate at this time,”
said Batz. “Additional testing, toxicology, and investigation will be necessary to determine the cause of death.” Batz confirmed that the remains are that of a female, but age and race are to be determined. A Montgomery County employee found the body in a wooded area of the park near Kingman Drive where they were working on a sewer line. In the 911 call, the employee indicated that the remains may have been there some
time based on his description. The body has been turned over to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office where an autopsy was conducted on Tuesday. Vandalia police are talking to neighbors who live near the park to determine if they had seen anything suspicious. Anyone with information is asked to call the Vandalia Police Department at (937) 898-5868. Police say it is too early to tell if the body is that of a woman who disappeared in late September. Aria Maria
Spradling, 20, was last seen in Harrison Township in the 5000 block of Dixie Drive where she was leaving the Harem nightclub. Spradling is described as 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighing around 130 pounds. She has brown hair and brown eyes. She also has several tatoos including the name “Maleigha” on her left arm, the name “Timothy” on her right thigh, the word “Family” on one of her legs and “Life/ Death” on the other. She also has a large flower/skull tattoo on her upper right arm.
Vandalia PD seek car theft suspect DARRELL WACKER Drummer Editor
VANDALIA - Vandalia police are searching for a man suspected of stealing a vehicle from Evans Motorworks in August. Police found the vehicle at the Meadows of Catalpa Apartments in Dayton after a tip was received. That same tip named the suspect, Dejarvus L. Richardson, as the person who stole the vehicle. A felony warrant has been issued for Richardson’s arrest. When police saw the vehicle at the apartment complex, Richardson was driving the vehicle but fled on foot and was not captured. A subsequent search of the vehicle large amounts of evidence was found that indicates that Richardson may be involved in other financial scams and criminal activity. Police believe other people may have been unwittingly involved in Richardson’s crimes. Richardson is also known as Dr. Dejay Richardson, DJ Richardson, and Dejarvus Richardson. Based on evidence in the vehicle and Richardson’s prior criminal history it is possible that Richardson may impersonate local, state, and federal law enforcement personnel or military personnel. According to Montgomery County court records, Richardson was convicted of receiving stolen property in 2004, 2005, and 2010. Richardson is described as a 28 year old black male, 5 feet, 5 inches tall and about 124 pounds. Any person with information on Richardson or his whereabouts are asked to contact Detective Jennifer Childs at the Vandalia Division of Police at (937) 415-2274.

The third fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veteran departing our ranks, and who gave a portion of his or her life for the defense of our country to attain peace throughout the world. The fourth fold represents our weaker nature; as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in times of peace, as well as in times of war, for His divine guidance. The fifth fold is a tribute to our country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, “Our country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right, but it is still our country, right or wrong.” The sixth fold is for where our hearts lie.

VANDALIA — Dozens of people braved the cold and wind to honor military veteran’s at the annual Veteran’s Day observance on Monday. The observance began at the traditional 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, which coincides with the signing of the armistice with Germany that ended World War I. Monday’s ceremony was sponsored by Amvets Post 99, VFW Post 9582, and American Legion Post 668. After opening remarks and prayer, the organizations folded an American flag while explaining what each of the folds mean according the the American Legion website: “The first fold of our flag

tice for all. The seventh fold is a tribute to our armed forces, for it is through the armed forces that we protect our country and our flag against all enemies, whether they be found within or without the boundaries of our republic. The eighth fold is a tribute to the one who entered into the valley of the shadow of death, that we might see the light of day, and to honor our mother, for whom it flies on Mother’s Day. The ninth fold is a tribute to womanhood, for it has been through their faith, love, loyalty and devotion that the character of the men and women who have made this country great have been molded. The 10th fold is a tribute to father, for he, too, has given his sons and daughters for the defense of our country since he or she was first born. The 11th fold, in the eyes of Hebrew citizens, represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon and glorifies, in their eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac

and Jacob. The 12th fold, in the eyes of a Christian citizen, represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in their eyes, God the Father, the Son and Holy Ghost. When the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost, reminding us of our national motto, “In
God We Trust.” After the flag is completely folded and tucked in, it has the appearance of a cocked hat, ever reminding us of the soldiers who served under Gen. George Washington and the sailors and Marines who served under Capt. John Paul Jones and were fol-
lowed by their comrades and shipmates in the U.S. Armed Forces, preserving for us the rights, privileges and freedoms we enjoy today.” Following the flag folding ceremony, an honor guard fired a salute while Taps was played.

Ohio Supreme Court Justice Judith French speaks to Rotary
Photos by Greg Smart
Brock Heath, Gauntlet Development, spoke to the Rotary Club of Vandalia on Nov. 14 on the topic “Facilitating Success Through Personal/Professional Development.” Gauntler, the 2012 Outstanding Young Man in Troy, talked about the importance of continued self development to become a better person and family member. He stressed the importance of reading motivational books. He encouraged people to be careful what type of radio or television programs they have as that can have a positive or negative affect in their lives. He encouraged each person to associate with “winners” and discussed the importance of goal setting. Rotarian Ken Morris (left) is pictured with Heath (right).
Justice Judith French, appointed in December 2012 by Gov. John Kasich as the 155th Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, spoke at the Rotary Club of Vandalia on Nov. 7. French said she believes in putting the “public” in public office and has visited county leaders throughout the state to learn what is most important to them and to hear their concerns. The Ohio Supreme Court chooses what cases they hear, so they choose to hear the cases with issues of public interest and have the broadest impact, she said. From left to right are Rotarian Arlene Setzer, Justice French and Rotary President Michelle Sherrill.

The fiber-rich foods help fill up a stomach faster than traditional snacks and fiber-rich foods do not have as many calories. If it is difficult to stay away from sweets entirely, then allow yourself one small splurge a day. Never go to a holiday party hungry to help cut down on temptation.

fit or have been struggling with weight for a long time. “Those who are in pretty good shape are concerned about how the holidays will mess up their schedule and on the flip side you have those who are overweight that may have been struggling with the issue for a long time and feel that the holidays will make it worse,” he said. Dr. Allen said the answer is not really weight loss as it is about establishing a change in behavior. He encourages patients to first and foremost stick to a routine that includes daily exercise. It may be hard, but it is extremely important not to take a break in exercise routines once the holidays have arrived. Secondly, individuals should watch their portion sizes when it comes to food. “You can still have the turkey and gravy, but just watch the portion size,” Dr. Allen said. A good way to measure a healthy portion size is to take portions of each food that is not larger than the fist made from your hand. Another idea is to look at a dinner plate as a pie chart.

VANDALIA – The time between Thanksgiving and Christmas offers an overabundance of social gatherings filled with banquets and the giving of edible gifts. It’s no wonder then that most Americans associate that time of the year with a risk of weight gain. But has the fear of weight gain been blown out of proportion? Some recent studies say yes. According to the National Institutes of Health, most individuals believe they gained up to 10 pounds over the holiday – that’s nearly two pounds per week between Thanksgiving and Christmas. However, a study released by the New England Journal of Medicine said individuals actually only gain one pound over the holidays. The holidays may not bring the weight gain that most individuals believe, but it is a time that often breeds poor habits that, over time, can result in excessive weight gain, according to Joseph Allen, MD, with Family Medicine of Vandalia, a Premier HealthNet practice. “Really when it comes down to it people look at the holidays as a time to splurge a little and to not do what they normally do – such as go for that run or take that walk,” Dr. Allen said. “They allow themselves to eat a little more and then a little more and by the end of the holiday season they have developed these habits that are hard to break right away. They can stay that way for the rest of the winter and when spring comes they are really concerned about their weight.” Dr. Allen sees patients come into his office before and after the holidays concerned about its impact on their weight. The issue affects all individuals – male or female – and makes no difference whether they are already

School district is definitely thankful to the members of the community The timing for this column—right before Thanksgiving—couldn’t be any better. We have a lot to be thankful for at Vandalia-Butler City Schools, first and foremost being our voters and supporters for their commitment to the students of our community. Unofficial results show that our levy request, Issue 39, passed by just 58 votes. That’s a slim margin, but it’s going to give us desperately needed breathing room. With the funding generated by the levy, we will be able to continue providing all of our students with the outstanding programs and services that are the hallmark of a Vandalia-Butler education and to do so in very conservative, cost-effective ways. We are thankful for the tireless efforts of our campaign committee, and all of the long days and nights campaign volunteers put in to get the word out. And we are thankful for the willingness of our entire community to be so engaged in our schools. Regardless of where they stood on the issue, most community members were open to having a dialogue about our schools and where things stand. Conversations like these
are essential to coming to a common understanding about what the community wants from its schools and what we can afford to provide as a district. Issue 39 passed, but that doesn’t mean the dialogue is over. In fact, it is more critical than ever. Brad Neavin Issue 39 provided us with breathing room. We must continue finding ways to retool our operations and be more cost-effective with our taxpayer dollars. Over the next several months, we’ll take a hard look at our operations to find additional savings. We will also look for more ways to be creative with how we fund student programs. All of this will require the partnership of our entire community to be successful. We are always open to meeting with community members who have questions and concerns. Please don’t hesitate to call me at 937-415-6415 or email me at bradley.neavin@vbcsd.com if you would like to discuss our schools. I will do whatever I can to answer your
questions—be it a phone call, a visit to our office, or a coffee in your home. One final item to mention, and that is the boundless energy our students and teachers have for giving back. As we enter this season of thankfulness and goodwill, our schools are kicking into high gear to make sure those in need don’t go without. Eighth-graders at Morton are assembling care packages for troops in Afghanistan, sixth graders in Leslie Roderick’s Leadership Class are preparing to launch a stocking drive for foster kids under the care of Montgomery County Children Services, students at Butler will be provide hundreds of wrapped gifts to local children right before Christmas, students at Smith are working hard to raise thousands of dollars for the A Special Wish Foundation, and much, much more. Watch the pages of the Drummer, our enewsletter, and our website for information on these activities and more as they unfold in our schools. Enjoy your Thanksgiving next week!

Laws against bullying are unnecessary Spoiler Alert! In case you’re one of the three people on the planet who hasn’t seen “A Christmas Story” more than 50 times, you might want to stop reading now. Without retelling the story I offer one lesson learned by young Ralphie, the lead character, as food for thought on a huge topic of the day; bullying. In the film Ralphie is “bullied” by a young hooligan named Farcas. One of TV’s most popular shows, “The Andy Griffith Show” also featured an episode called “Opie and the Bully”. In both cases the young heroes ended up standing up to their respective bullies and, after getting a little bruised and dirty, ended up rid of the cowardly harassers for good. As I fully expect a flood of emails and Facebook messages disagreeing, I absolutely believe that is the best and only way to effectively deal with bullies in this world. Criminal laws and civil lawsuits are not the way to handle it. It teaches the “bullied” nothing about standing up and defending themselves when the
lawyers, principals, t e a c h e rs , parents or bigger friends a r e n ’ t around. In Mike Scinto virtually all bullying cases the perpetrator is really a coward trying to prove their worth by terrorizing seemingly willing victims. They bank on the belief that the recipient would never have the courage to defend themselves. As with any theory there are obvious exceptions to the “rule” which fall outside those normal boundaries. I’m talking about the vast majority of cases. In the interest of full disclosure, I broke that rule once. As a parent you hate to see your child bullied. As a very young boy, our son was bullied. I marched him down to the bully’s house and dealt with the parent. I never should have done that but there was no real harm done. It did happen again and this time our son handled it. And like Ralphie
and Opie, our son never had trouble again. And I’ve always been confidant that if it did happen again, he could deal with it himself. I bring this up because I just saw the 1000th story on the Miami Dolphins’ Jonathan Martin’s bullying claims. For those who have been living on Mars the past few weeks, Martin, a second-year Pro football player, departed the Dolphins recently after what was called an alleged “malicious physical attack” and “daily vulgar comments” from his Dolphins teammates. As a result teammate Richie Incognito has been suspended indefinitely by the Dolphins, and the organization’s locker-room culture has been challenged with respect to hazing and bullying. I played high school football and am very good friends with college and pro players. While what Incognito allegedly did was tasteless and perhaps mean, Martin was well-paid to walk into that locker room every day. He is certainly big enough, and one would assume smart enough, to deal with
it. And that’s exactly what he should have done. Rather than let the alleged bullies get their way, he should have dealt with it; not by quitting or going to court or to the league, but dealt with it. He needed to put on his “big boy” jersey and demand respect or whatever he felt he was lacking. While I know many will disagree, we’ve lost that in America today. We don’t deal with things ourselves. We turn to others to “make it all right”. And that is all wrong. I’m in no way promoting violence but I am suggesting individuals, young and old, stand up for what’s right and do whatever is necessary to fix it themselves (within rational limits of course). They’ll sleep a lot better after it’s over knowing THEY handled it. Mike Scinto is a 37 year veteran talk show host serving locally, statewide and nationally behind the microphone.

Vectren issues safety reminders for winter heating season EVANSVILLE — Winter weather is here and Vectren Energy Delivery (Vectren) wants to remind customers to be aware of heating safety throughout the winter months. Having a furnace tune-up by a professional; knowing how to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning and detect a gas leak; and being aware of the safety precautions associated with the use of space heaters are simple ways to keep your household safe throughout the year. “As seasonal temperatures continue to drop and the need for heating your home grows, it’s important to keep safety in mind,” said Colleen Ryan, president of Vectren Energy Delivery of Ohio. “Safety begins with simple steps such as ensuring your furnace, space heaters and fireplaces are properly ventilated and the batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are in good working condition.” Customers should consider safety precautions associated with home heating, the use of natural gas and the use of electric space heaters. Furthermore, don’t forget to change the batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors throughout the home on an annual basis. Space Heater Safety According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) supplemental heating equipment, such as electrical and kerosene heaters, is the leading cause of home fires
during the months of December, January and February. To help prevent fires and carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning from the use of space heaters, adhere to the following tips as recommended by the NFPA. Install and use appliances according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Consider using space heaters with automatic shut-off capabilities. Never use unvented gas or kerosene heaters in closed spaces, especially sleeping areas. Don’t use gas appliances such as an oven, range or clothes dryer to heat the home. Leave a window cracked about an inch for ventilation and fresh air. Ventilation is important to keep fuel-burning space heaters from consuming too much oxygen in the house. Do not leave a space heater on when you are not in the room or when you go to sleep and keep small children away from the unit at all times. Electric space heaters should be checked for signs of fraying or splitting wires or overheating. Likewise, electric space heaters frequently cause fires by overloading electrical outlets. Keep space heaters away from combustible materials/products. When selecting a space heater, look for one that has been tested
and certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory. These heaters have been determined to meet specific safety standards, and manufacturers are required to provide important use and care information to the consumer. Carbon Monoxide Safety Carbon monoxide (CO) is a toxic gas produced by the incomplete burning of different fuels including gasoline, kerosene, wood, coal, propane, natural gas and fuel oil. High concentrations of CO can cause illness and excessive levels can be fatal. If you suspect CO in your home, get fresh air immediately and call 911. To prevent CO in your home: Make sure all appliances are properly installed and maintained and have a heating professional clean and check your heating and venting system every year. Check vents, flue pipes and chimneys for corrosion or blockage. Never run a vehicle or fuel-burning equipment in an enclosed place. Install at least one CO detector near sleeping areas to add an extra measure of safety. If you smell natural gas In the event a gas line has been struck or ruptured outside of a home or business, residents are reminded of the following: · Leave the area of the gas leak, as well as areas where the odor of gas is noticeable, immediately.

Lions Club learns about Facility Dogs The featured speaker at the November 14 dinner meeting of the Vandalia Lions Club was Cynthia Gevedon (left), who works out of the Green County Prosecutor’s Office. While Canine Companions For Independence (CCI) dogs are trained to assist a specific disabled person, including autistic, many are also trained as Facility Dogs. They provide comfort to people in facilities such as nursing homes and hospitals (both adult and children). Cynthia is the prime responder to Children’s Services in Green County and uses her Facility Dog, “Nanook.” She gave examples of how Nanook is able to settle down very young children to enable them to effectively communicate in a Court setting, for example a toddler that had been sexually abused. She and Nanook work frequently at a facility in Fairborn, Michael’s House, which shelters such children. CCI was established in 1975, is funded by donations, and provides dogs to the users at no cost. Gevedon is pictured with Lions Club Program Chairman Bud Brown.

Ohio Galaxies to host Girls Fall College Showcase
Two Canadian teams join line up this fall XENIA — The Ohio Galaxies Girls Fall College Showcase at will be held at Athletes in Action November 30 - December 1. Nancy Shields, President of the Ohio Galaxies, stated “It is exciting that we have gained such a good reputation for a very competitive Showcase, which draws so many college coaches, that we are able to enlist teams from another country.” The Greater Dayton area will host teams from London and Toronto, Ontario, Canada for the Girls Showcase weekend. “We have had teams from Canada for our larger spring tournament in 2012, but to have them compete in our second annual Fall Showcase credits all the good work the Showcase committee has done,” said Sheilds. “It is good for Dayton Area Soccer,” said Steve Pitchel, Chairman of the Showcase committee. “This year we have more teams for the Girls Showcase than we did in the inaugural year.” All of the matches will be played on state-of-the-art synthetic turf fields. Being a Showcase event, OGFC organizes match locations to be not only convenient for the teams playing, but also for the college coaches to view the players. All u17 - u19 division matches will be played at one of the finest soccer facilities in the Midwest, Athletes in Action. In Xenia and with two full-sized NCAA synthet-
ic turf soccer fields as well as an interchangeable, fully lit, football/ soccer field, the sports complex provides the opportunity to comfortably host our Showcase regardless of weather conditions. The primary site for u16 division matches will be on the Wright State University campus at the Rinzler Student Sports Complex. This complex is located just minutes from Athletes in Action and features a fully lit NCAA soccer field and an interchangeable turf football/soccer field. All u14 & u15 division matches will be played at several local area high school facilities, each within a short drive of Athletes in Action. All of these facilities also feature synthetic turf The Ohio Galaxies girls Fall College Showcase will be held November 30-December 1. fields. There are 53 girls teams registered for the event. They come from seven surrounding states and one Canadian province. Many college coaches from the local area will be able to see potential college candidates compete in this College Showcase Tournament. Last year there were over 56 coaches that participated in the Showcase representing over 43 colleges. The numbers that have registered are believed to surpass last year’s numbers. Competition will be at the highest level offering an exciting experience for players, coaches and spectators alike.

Carter Logistics distributes parts to Toyota plants across North America from their Vandalia Cross Dock facility that employs 120.
70/75 Corridor has ‘tremendous’ potential in logistics DARRELL WACKER Drummer Editor
VANDALIA — The I-70/I-75 corridor has ‘tremendous’ logistics and distribution potential according to a study completed by the St. Onge Company. That report was the topic of discussion at Thursday’s lunch meeting of the Dayton Chapter of NAIOP, the Commercial Real Estate Development Association. The meeting was hosted by Carter Logistics in the Stonequarry Crossings development in Vandalia - one of the area’s newest and largest logistics and distribution centers. Erik Collins, the Montgomery County Director of Economic Development, and Steve Stanley, the Executive Director of the Montgomery County Transportation Improvement District, were the featured speakers. Collins said that since Payless Shoes announced their distribution center locat-
ing in Brookville in 2007, momentum has been building. “There are more and more companies moving to the Dayton Region in the last ten years or so,� said Collins. “We are really starting to see momentum.� As examples, Collins mentioned Payless Shoes, Caterpillar, Carter Logistics, White Castle, and Independent Can. According to the report, Dayton sits in an optimal location for companies that require from 3-7 distribution centers. Within 600 miles of two-thirds of the nation’s population at the crossroads of two major interstates, Dayton is wellsituated to take advantage of its strategic advantages. Area leaders are currently using the St. Onge study to develop a comprehensive strategy for identifying potential developers and then recruiting them to the region. Other advantages of the region found by St. Onge were:
-Dayton traffic is relatively less congested than regional competitors such as Cincinnati and Indianapolis -The area has significant “logistics support services� that can attract other industries -Dayton is seen as a “business-friendly� community that has the workforce to support logistics and distribution -Strong educational assets that can assist in educating necessary workforce -Cooperation across political subdivisions Collins and Stanley talked about the regional cooperation necessary for the recently unveiled Prologis, Inc. development in Union. Code named “Project Walnut,� the 1.8 million square foot facility is being built on 140 acres in Union just west of the Dayton International Airport.
“Prologis is the largest development project in Ohio in the past 10 years,� said Stanley. “It took the cooperation of the City of Union, the county to leverage its balance sheet to issue bonds, and the state.� Montgomery County is currently building an 8,000 foot roadway off of Dog Leg Road to connect the development which is expected to open next November and employ up to 1,000 people. The lunch meeting was held in what can be described as a hub of logistics activity. Carter Express opened in May of 2012 and now employs 120. White Castle’s food processing plant and Independent Can, both which sits across Captstone Way from Carter Express, are under construction and expected to open in early 2014.
Independent Can is just one of several logistics and distribution centers that have opened or will open soon in the northern Dayton region.
DeWine says heroin is a statewide epidemic DAN SEWELL Associated Press
CINCINNATI (AP) — Just as Ohio is making progress in the battle against prescription drug abuse, it’s getting overrun by heroin, the attorney general said Monday. Mike DeWine said statistics compiled by his office show at least 11 Ohioans die each week from heroin overdoses, with the
real total of heroin-related deaths likely to be even higher. “We have a heroin epidemic,� DeWine said in a news conference announcing formation of a Heroin Unit in his office. “There is a heroin problem in every single part of the state. If you don’t think you have a problem with heroin in your community, you’re probably wrong.� Ohio is experiencing a situation similar to what happened in
neighboring Kentucky. Facing a pain pill abuse epidemic over the past decades, both states launched efforts to choke off supply and cut abuse. But the quick spread in the last years in the United States of cheap, potent heroin from Mexico and other countries has sent drug abuse and overdoses skyrocketing in the region. DeWine said heroin seizures by the Ohio State Highway Patrol are jumping, as are state crime lab
cases involving heroin. He said there were than 600 heroin overdose deaths in the state in 2012, a figure that more than doubled since 2010. Comprehensive numbers are uncertain because of variations in responses from county coroners and in how they investigate and record heroin deaths, he added. He also said the number would be much higher if it included heroinrelated deaths, such as those from crimes involving the drug.
