The beautiful weather June 5th - 7th, heralded in the Montgomery County Ohio Horseman Council’s Annual Sycamore Campout. This is the twelfth year for this annual event to enjoy the wonderful and ever changing park.
With the addition of the silver trail, Sycamore can now boast over twenty miles of horseback pleasure. Traversing through the various creeks, ravines, forest, old farm sites and Ohio prairie the rider can pick from a short two-hour ride to an all day event.
The campground filled with approximately nine rigs with horses and 45 additional day riders showed up throughout the 3-day event to enjoy the horse trails, wildlife, campfire, food and camaraderie. A special thanks goes to the club’s Jerry Basham for mowing the trails for their enjoyment.
Some of the highlights of the weekend were Montgomery County’s OHC member Tom Pompei’ gave pony rides on Sunday to some small children that were camped in the same area. On Friday night, the hungry riders and campers thoroughly enjoyed the pizza from our local Broadway Café. On Saturday, six riders and trusty steeds enjoyed the full moon ride. Even with the aversion of a potential disaster of forbidden ATV riders screaming up on them, the ride was an appreciation of the night in our park. For safety, Please remember ATV’s are never allowed on the horse or hiking trails.
For additional pictures and information on this wonderful Local Park and the events shared by the over one hundred and thirty equine families that belong to our OHC Club, please visit www.MontgomeryCountyOHC.com .

RTA, Greyhound Reach Agreement
By Bruce Kettelle
RTA has reached agreement with Greyhound on bringing their Dayton terminal operation to the Northwest Hub in Trotwood. Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority executive director Mark Donaghy said the signed agreement was mailed to Greyhound June 19.
“We have reached agreement on the wording of the final document,” said Donaghy. He said that based on conversations with Greyhound they will countersign and return it promptly.
Donaghy said the agreement does not have defined timelines for Greyhounds relocation to Trotwood.
He said the next step is a public meeting with residents. “We will set a date to discuss our plans at the Northwest Hub. That meeting should occur within 30-days.”
RTA’s plan to become the terminal agent for Greyhound has drawn fire from some Trotwood residents that fear additional crime and street wear and tear will result. Organizers of petitions circulating to recall the Trotwood Mayor have said it was partially brought on by RTA’s move, which he did not oppose.
“We recognize there are some fears in the community,” said Donaghy. I think people will be pleasantly surprised when they discover their fears are unfounded.”

Petition Circulating To Recall Mayor
By Bruce Kettelle
Eighteen months after winning the mayor’s seat a group of residents are calling for his removal. The Progressive Citizens of Trotwood are circulating a petition to recall Mayor Darreyl Davis in a special election.
Trotwood Resident Brendalee Roseman, the apparent originator of the petition contacted the city clerk’s office recently to get information about the recall process. The city charter states a recall petition must be signed by 25% of the total number of voters voting in the most recent at-large city council election. Roseman said they have already gathered over 400 signatures.
During Monday’s council meeting Roseman said, “Mayor Davis, you have let us down…it hurts.”
Among the eleven reasons on the recall petition are complaints about his arrogance during city council meetings and lack of new development he promised while campaigning for the office.
The recall effort also comes after several close 4 to 3 council votes and increased citizen turnout to city council meetings; last fall over a proposed housing project on East Main St and this spring over RTA’s desire to locate a Greyhound bus terminal in their Trotwood hub.
Another item in the petition is the council travel budget, a point raised during year-end budget workshops by councilwoman Mary McDonald who read the entire petition to the council during the meeting. She also read a letter from a resident who condemned the recall and supported the mayor.
The mayor responded to some of the items in the petition and tried to assure the community that his heart is in the right place. “I understand people are hurt about the Salem Mall,” he said about the slow effort to attract new uses to the site.
Former Vice Mayor Michael Sprague said he has recently seen some of the new preliminary development plans for the Salem Mall site. “For the first time in years I’m excited about the prospects for real development there.”
Sprague is serving on a committee with the city’s consulting developer who began devising a new strategy for the site late last year. He also teaches political science at Sinclair and is surprised the group feels a recall is necessary.
“What we need as a community is not reasons why we can’t, we need ideas of how we can,” said Sprague. He believes Davis is one of the latter.
“Change is inevitable, but I have no disrespect for those that want our city to be perfect,” said Davis.
“This is a tough time to be a mayor anywhere,” said Davis.
A quick search around the state revealed there are several recall efforts underway including a recall election next week against the Mayor of Akron.
When a submitted recall petition is found to be sufficient the city charter calls for an election within 60 to 75 days. Council clerk Lois Singleton said that a special election would cost the city about $20,000.
----Update 6-18-09 --------
As of today the actual number of signatures required is unclear. Summary repots from the election do not contain the necessary subtotal. The city has requested the Board of Elections to research the voter count and expects an answer next week.

City Council, School Board Elections This Fall
By Bruce Kettelle
Election season will begin this summer as candidates begin to register for several open seats on the Trotwood City Council and the Trotwood-Madison School Board. It appears that all the existing seat holders plan to run for re-election. Some competition is brewing as a few residents have already taken out petitions at the board of elections to qualify for the November ballot.
There is still time for more to enter the fray with the deadline for filing petitions still several months away on August 20.
The four Ward or district seats on the city council expire at the end of this year. Currently holding those seats are Joyce Sutton-Cameron (Ward 1), Rap Hankins (Ward 2), Ronald Vaughn (Ward 3), and Mary McDonald (Ward 4.) To run for any of these seats residents must live in the ward they wish to represent.
So far two challengers have signed out ballot petitions for the city council race. Mattie Clay in Ward 1 and Janice Chinn in Ward 2 are currently collecting signatures. All four incumbents have also taken petitions.
Candidates for school board can live anywhere inside the district’s boundaries. The terms are up this year for Deborah Daniel, Teena Davis, and Denise Moore. So far they do not have any challengers.
Residents interested in getting more information on how to run for office can contact the Clerk of Council at 854-7212 or the Secretary to the Superintendent of Schools at 854-3050 x212.

ED Solution: Attract People Instead Of Companies
This is a letter to the editor I submitted to the Dayton City Paper.
Dear Editor,
It’s always nice to see different opinions from your columnists. Mark Luedtke got my interest in his ‘Dayton Dies A Little More’ when he suggested government policies are the reason we lost NCR. Intrigued I read on hoping to see him address a variety of policies that may be crippling our region but all I found was a typical dump on the supposed high taxes of Ohio.
Emblematic of most that cite high taxes as a problem he offered no viable solutions. “Dramatically reduce the city budget…contract out all the services we can” sound good but our leaders are already doing this every day.
Dayton, Trotwood and many area communities are faced with revenue shortfalls and all I keep hearing is cut our tax rates. It’s a great sound bite.
If you compare the state budgets in 2007 by spending per capita, Ohio ranks about 27th. All those states with no income tax, are finding money through other tax sources. State and local budget funding has to come from somewhere, you just can’t will away the costs needed to provide roads, police, fire, and other important services.
I was hoping Luedtke’s column would dig a little deeper into specific ideas that could improve our ability to compete against other states. There are ways to save by identifying and combining redundant services and their associated payrolls. But more importantly we need to also look at the way outsiders see us and strategically enhance those areas they view as positive.
Those enhancements come in two categories, physically nurturing these assets and marketing them better.
Every state has shovel ready sites for development. Instead of dumping more investment into new Greenfield development why not invest more in our attraction assets such as the Air Force Museum, Riverscape, beautification projects, arts, entertainment and other quality of life projects. Instead of trying to attract companies concentrate on attracting people and doing things that make them advocates for the region. Then the companies will come.
Sincerely,
Bruce Kettelle

New Restaurants With Local Roots
By Bruce Kettelle
Two Trotwood restaurant entrepreneurs are branching out.
Residents Pam and Joe Heintz operate Artisan’s Café in nearby Clayton in the Randolf Plaza. Last week Miamisburg Mayor Dick Church welcomed them to their new second location across from the Dayton Mall.
This week Ramen Ispakhev opened the doors to the second New York Pizzeria in the St. Anne’s district of Dayton. He will offer the same menu available at the successful Trotwood location on East Main St near Olde Town.
The Heintz family operated their original restaurant on Union Rd across from the Englewood Kroger until a pharmacy chain bought out the property. They relocated to Randolf Plaza at 8351 N. Main St last fall. Their successful healthy menu is now being offered at their second location in the International Plaza, 47 S Springboro Pike.
The owner of the International Village, at the corner of State Routes 725 and 741 wanted an Artisans Café in his center. Pam said, “he approached us with a novel idea to team up with an existing restaurant and provide their healthy food concept to the southern Miami Valley.”
After meeting with Akram Fadel, the owner of the Taste of the Mediterranean restaurant, everyone agreed it would be a great fit. The Taste of the Mediterranean already offers many vegetarian dishes as well as all natural Halal meats. They even have a patio hookah bar.
Pam said the new location is already becoming a hit. “The addition of our American style healthy food makes the new Artisans Café a dining “Mecca” for meat eaters as well as vegetarians and vegans.” See their menu at www.artisanscafe.net or call Clayton 890-5250 and Miamisburg 434-9140.
New York Pizzeria arrived on the Trotwood scene a few years ago when a few other restaurants had failed in the plaza shared by the YMCA, License Bureau, a church, Higgins Station and other shops. They have thrived, building a strong local reputation with great pizza and subs at 498 E Main.
Most patrons will recognize Kemal Tirak behind the Trotwood counter spinning pizza’s. But you may not realize his brother Raman Ispakhev has been working on rehabbing a building in Dayton at 1430 E 5th St.
The efforts of the family partnership paid off this week as the new location opened to rave reviews.
The only difference in menus at the new location is Raman’s passion as a baker. In addition to the famous pizza, calzone and sub items he will offer fresh baked Turkish bread for $2 a loaf.
Eat in or call for delivery in Dayton 222-0321 and Trotwood 837-3333.

Dollars Fall With Trotwood’s 13.7% Unemployment
By Bruce Kettelle
The news this month on the job front is stark. Trotwood reached a 13.7% unemployment rate in the state’s April report, the highest rate in the region.
“A lot of our residents work in places like GM which has downsized dramatically,” said Catherine Armocida Trotwood’s income tax administrator. “Our income tax collections are down about 1.5% from last year.”
She said the collections would be worse if it weren’t for her department’s efforts to improve collections from non-filers and delinquent taxpayers. Employers pay 80% of the city’s income tax payments through withholdings. Those collections are down about 7%.
To make matters worse for the city, budget projections developed last fall predicted a modest increase in income taxes this year to $5.2 million. This could lead to an alarming shortfall in the city budget by the end of the year.
Armocida said they we’re still completing estimates
Mayor Darreyl Davis said some cuts in this year’s budget will be necessary. “We are looking at a mid-year budget process in July to look at adjustments that need to be made,” said Davis. “We are going to have to make some tough choices.”
Trotwood is not alone with recent cuts announced in the City of Dayton and at the Montgomery County offices. “Let’s face it, we’ve lost a lot of businesses regionally,” said Armocida. “It’s not just a problem here, others are impacted even more.”
Davis is hearing the same thing from most of the local Mayors he has spoken with. But for Davis it is not just about accepting the numbers, he and city council are looking for ways to help get Trotwood’s job economy turned around.
“We are working on jobs, training and collaboration,” said Davis. “There are some upcoming workshops hosted by EMTEC to assist Trotwood in business and job creation in new technologies.”
And he has not lost sight of the regions number one employer. “I am also working on hosting an employment workshop in Trotwood with Wright-Patterson Air Force Base on the federal hiring process.”

Broadway Café Gets a Makeover
By Bruce Kettelle
Broadway Café was looking a little tired, relatively unchanged since it was Copperfields in the 90’s and Deb and Rick’s before that. After buying the Olde Town restaurant in 2005 owners Alex and Donna Kup have been saving up for a makeover.
This spring the gradual effort has paid off with oohs and aahs from customers.
Even with the slow economy Donna said it “it needed it” and the couple plunged into the work. A little here, a little there done after hours at night and the new look took shape.
“First thing we did was get rid of the partition wall in the center of the dining room,” said Donna, “It opened everything up, made it a brighter restaurant.” A few weeks later new carpet appeared and then the walls were painted.
“We hired our customers to do the work,” stressed Donna about the importance of supporting the local community.
The finishing touches came from Jim Foster. He operates his national branding and design firm from Olde Town.
Jim tackled the bathrooms and selected a theme for the art displayed in the dining room.
Covering the walls is a photo history of Trotwood. Many photos are on loan from the Trotwood Historical Society. “The customers really like the pictures on the walls, they start a lot of conversations and we’re learning more about Trotwood history all the time,” says Donna.
Donna says so far the improvements haven’t resulted in many more customers but now it feels more like a home.
“I think of our customers as family.”
Broadway café is open from 6:30am to 10:00pm every day. There’s a steady crowd for breakfast specials and their popular wings and pizza. They even deliver.
Donna has a few more plans for the restaurant but wouldn’t let the cat out of the bag just yet. “If the good Lords willin and the creek don’t rise we’ll be in Trotwood for a long time.”
Broadway Café is located at 203 N. Broadway. Give them a call at 837-6555.

Salem Av Construction Started Monday
By Bruce Kettelle
Orange barrels will engulf Salem Avenue all summer as two big projects got underway this week in Trotwood. Both projects are being done at the same time by different contractors and should be complete in 120 days.
The last phase of sidewalks and curbs for Salem Avenue are being installed from Route 49 to Turner Road. This project includes storm drainage improvements and resurfacing of the roadway.
The realignment of the Salem Av and Shiloh Springs intersection is the second project. When complete Shiloh Springs will take a little jog just before reaching Salem Avenue to get the angle of the intersecting streets closer to 90-degrees. Currently the roads meet at a more severe angle, which has caused safety concerns over the years.
The realignment is also designed to provide a new access road onto the former Salem Mall property to make it more accessible for new development. Both projects are funded by state and federal grants.
Tom Long of the city's public works department said the city and contractors plan to meet monthly with the affected businesses to try and minimize the impact on their customers. There has already been one such meeting.
For more information about the construction contact public works at 854-1702.
