A Halloween partyA Halloween party

By DYLAN SAMS

Hordes of Halloween trick-or-treaters lorded over Loudonvilleon Saturday, Oct. 29.

It was time-again to celebratethe holiday as children and adultsgot into their costumes to try theirhand at summoning small scaresand take part in activities thatwent on all throughout the daySaturday.

At the center of it all was the Hal-loween Parade in downtownLoudonville. The Loudonville HighSchool band led the parade with anarrangement of “Thriller,” as com-munity members lined the streetsand costumed kids ran in and out of

the streets to pick up their nextpiece of candy.

On one side of Main Street wereBecca Stanchek and her daughter,Eva Lucibello. Stancheck was cladin a witch’s costume. Lucibello wasawaiting her stepdaughter to passin the parade — she plays tuba,Lucibello said.

“Halloween is my most favoriteholiday,” Stanchek proclaimed. Shedresses every year. Two years ago,she handcrafted her own Beetlejuicecostume, based off of the characterof the same name. In previous,mother and daughter have coordi-nated costumes, including some in-spired by the horror movies featur-ing the murderous doll Chucky.

“This is what makes little townsspecial,” Stanchek said. “Paradesand everyone coming together.”After the parade, they planned togo home to prepare for trick-or-treat, which ran from 5 p.m. to 6p.m.

Before trick-or-treating was acostume contest, with three agegroups split between 0 to 2, threeto four and five to eight.

A whole variety of costumeswere presented, including twoclowns, a corpse bride, severalvariations of Batman includinga souped -up , spray -pa in tedwagon made to resemble theBatmobile, and lots of Pokémoncharacters.

One girl waiting to be judgedwas Dylan Darlak, dressed as Cap-tain Jack Sparrow from Disney’s“Pirates of the Caribbean,” com-plete with a beard constructed outof a wig.

Darlak said the movie was oneof her favorites.

Ashlee Richardson, Darlak’smother, said it was Dylan’s firsttime competing in the costumecontest.

“It’s fun to watch, you can sell allthe little kid’s personalities,”Richardson said.

Earlier in the day there was aMad Scientist Party and hal-loween movie event a t theLoudonville Library.

Village of Loudonville enrolls in ohiocheckbook.comVillage of Loudonville enrolls in ohiocheckbook.comBy JIM BREWER

Ohio Treasurer JoshMandel announced Oct. 21the launch of the village ofLoudonville’s online check-book on ohiocheck-book.com.

In December 2014, Man-del launched ohiocheck-book.com, which sets a newnational standard for gov-ernment transparency andfor the first time in Ohiohistory puts all state spend-ing information on the in-ternet. Ohiocheckbook.comrecently earned Ohio theNo. 1 government trans-parency ranking in thecountry for a second yearin a row.

The Ohio treasurer’s of-fice was joined at the an-nouncement by LoudonvilleMayor Steve Stricklen, fis-cal officer Elaine Van Hornand state Sen. Larry Obhof.

Loudonville is the first vil-lage in Ashland County topost i ts spending onohiocheckbook.com.

Loudonvi l le ’s onl inecheckbook includes morethan 21,600 individualtransactions that representmore than $8.2 million oftotal spending over the pastthree years.

“I believe the people ofAshland County have aright to know how their taxmoney is being spent, and Iapplaud local leaders herefor partnering with my of-fice to post the finances onohiocheckbook.com,” Man-del said. “By posting localgovernment spending on-line, we are empoweringtaxpayers across Ohio tohold public officials ac-countable.”

“The vi l lage ofLoudonville is pleased toparticipate in the ohiocheck-

book.com program in sup-port of the Ohio treasurer ofstate’s transparency and ac-countability in governmentinitiative,” Stricklen said.

“We were willing to joinohiocheckbook.com in aneffort to provide our resi-dents with this great onlineresource for easier accessto public records with nocost to the village,” VanHorn said. “Although vil-lage-detailed public recordshave always been and willremain available for publicinspection in the fiscal of-fice at any time, the abilityfor residents to view themonline provides another av-enue to be informed of localgovernment operations.”

“By participating inohiocheckbook.com,Loudonville officials areholding themselves to ahigher standard and todaywe applaud them for their

commitment to publictransparency and account-ability,” Obhof said.

On April 7, 2015, Man-del sent a letter to 18,062local government andschool officials represent-ing 3,962 local govern-ments throughout the statecalling on them to placetheir checkbook-level dataon ohiocheckbook.com andextending an invitation topartner with his office at nocost to local governments.These local governmentsinclude cities, counties,townships, schools, librarydistricts and other specialdistricts.

OhioCheckbook.com waslaunched Dec. 2, 2014,marking the first time inOhio history when citizenscould actually see every ex-penditure in state govern-ment. Since its launch,ohiocheckbook.com has re-

ceived overwhelming sup-port from newspapers andgroups across the state and,as of Oct. 19, 2016, therehave been more than647,000 total searches onthe site.

Ohiocheckbook.com dis-plays more than $552 bil-lion in spending over thepast eight years, includingmore than 151 milliontransactions. The websiteincludes cutting-edge fea-tures such as:■ “Google-style” contex-

tual search capabilities, toallow users to sort by key-word, department, categoryor vendor;■ fully dynamic interac-

tive charts to drill down onstate spending;■ functionality to com-

pare state spending year-over-year or among agen-cies; and■ capability to share

charts or checks with socialmedia networks, and directcontact for agency fiscal of-fices.

In March 2015, the U.S.Public Interest ResearchGroup (U.S. PIRG) re-leased its annual “Follow-ing the Money 2015” re-port and Mandel earnedOhio the No. 1 trans-parency ranking in thecountry for providing on-line access to governmentspending data. Ohio wasprominently featured in thereport after climbing from46th to first in spendingtransparency as a result ofMandel ’ s re lease o fohiocheckbook.com. Due tothe launch of ohiocheck-book.com, Ohio received aperfect score of 100 pointsthis year — the highestscore in the history of theU.S. PIRG transparencyrankings.

An appeals court af-firmed the judgment ofElliot Gornall, the formerLoudonville kindergartenteacher who recorded hisstudents in the bathroom.

The Fi f th Distr ictCourt of Appeals deter-mined Gornall, who wassentenced to 56 years inprison on 174 counts byAshland County Com-mon Pleas Judge RonaldP. Forsthoefel, was ap-propriate.

Gornall, 34, filed an ap-peal claiming evidencefound on his computer —which contained therecordings of his studentsand child pornography —should have been sup-pressed. Gornall filed amotion to suppress in theoriginal trial court caseJuly 23, 2015.

Gornall, through ap-peals attorney Russell S.Bensing, of Cleveland,also claimed that heshould not have receivedconsecutive sentences inthe case and that the fineassessed in the case —$15,700 — “is an abuseof discretion.”

The appeals courtjudges also af f irmedthose two issues.

“As a kindergartenteacher, appellant (Gor-nall) occupied a positionof trust, not only as thestudents entrusted to hiscare, but also to the fami-lies who entrusted theirchildren to him,” judgesCraig R.

For the past 17 years,Tom Lunt of Loudonvillehas provided considerabletalent-driven benefits totwo community organiza-tions for his skill as an ac-countant.

Not bad for a guy who re-ceived his education as anengineer. From 1999 to2011, he served as trea-surer for the L-P AcademicBoosters and, since 2012,has been treasurer of theMohican Area CommunityFund.

Lunt and his wife Renata(Henley) moved back toher hometown ofLoudonville in the summerof 1993 from Columbus,where he worked for theOhio Department of Trans-portation as the bureauchief of the Bureau of Pro-grams, what he called afancy title for the person re-sponsible for keeping trackof federal funds sent to thedepartment of transporta-tion for highway and otherconstruction projects. “Iwas hired by ODOT as acivil engineer, but early onfound myself involved in ac-counting for federal funds,”he said. “I became, later inmy career, ODOT’s experton federal aid funding, avery important position be-cause virtually all ODOT

projects involved some sortof federal support.”

Lunt retired in the mid-1990s with 30 years ofODOT service, includingtwo years of military credit.He served in Fort Lee, Vir-ginia, and then for a year inVietnam as what he called“a fuel jockey mostly fuel-ing helicopters. It was asafe position, and actually Ienjoyed my service in Viet-nam much more than FortLee, because it was not so‘spit and polish.’” Luntgrew up in Put-in-Bay,Ohio, a Lake Erie Islandwhich has grown into abooming resort area, andafter high school, landed ajob with ODOT in Ashlandfrom 1962-65. He wasdrafted in 1965, and upondischarge, enrolled at OhioState and earned a degree,in 1971, in civil engineer-ing. He also met futurebride Renata, on a blinddate while there.

He returned to ODOT inColumbus with its pro-grams office, and graduallybecame its federal funds ex-pert until he retired, andthe young age of 52.

Four years before retire-ment, he and Renata pur-chased a house inLoudonville, the formerDick Teeters house onWest Main Street, at thefoot of Maple Heights,

“which we had our eyes onfor a long time. We put abid in and got the house.We may have been the onlybidder,” he said.

Moving to Loudonvilleforced him to commute toColumbus for two years,back and forth every day.Then he convinced hisbosses to allow him towork four 10-hour days,and when that happened,

stayed in Columbus at hisbrother and sister-in-laws’,Dan and Susie Piskur’shome in Columbus.

After two years of this,he retired, “but almost im-mediately landed a part-time job with the OhioCounty Engineer’s Associa-tion doing pretty much thesame thing I did at ODOT,

Balkin, Justice face off in Ashland County Commissioners raceBy MIKE BUETTNER

See Page A6 | Race

Two candidates — Demo-crat Dorothy Balkin andRepublican James EmmettJustice — are on the Nov. 8general election ballot for Ash-land County commissioner.

While Republican incum-bent county CommissionerMichael Welch is runningunopposed, Justice andBalkin are seeking the posi-tion currently held by BarbQueer, who is retiring at theend of this term. Justice isthe mayor of Hayesvillewhile Balkin is a school psy-chologist residing in Nova.

Justice defeated JohnHadam and Pam Mowry inthe March 15 Republicanprimary election. Justice re-ceived 3,525 votes (34.75percent) to 3,472 forMowry (34.22 percent) and3,148 for Hadam (31.03 per-cent) in the official count.

Balkin was unopposed inthe primary. She previouslyran for county commissioner

in 2014 when she lost to cur-rent commission PresidentDenny Bittle by a 10,258 to4,089 vote count. That year,Balkin was the first Demo-crat to run for commissionersince 2006. The last time aDemocrat served as commis-sioner was in 1988.

Just ice has beenHayesville mayor for 10years. He previously servedas a village council memberfor 10 years and also servedtwo years on the board ofpublic affairs.

Outside of Hayesville, Jus-tice is involved as executivedirector for Housing Part-ners of Ashland County. Thegroup builds homes for low-to moderate-income familiesthroughout the county.

He’s board president ofAshland Special NeedsMinistry, which helps chil-dren with special needs getrespite care and a break fortheir parents.

Justice also is boardpres ident o f Ashland

County LifeWorx Inc. anda member of Ashland GraceBrethren Church.

Balkin is a graduate ofBlack River High School,and The Ohio State Univer-sity (Bachelor of Arts inpsychology) and BowlingGreen State (Master of Ed-ucation in school psychol-ogy) universit ies. Sheworks as a school psycholo-g ist with Foundat ionAcademy in Mansfield andMid-Ohio Educational Ser-vice Center in Mansfield.She and her husband, Roy,operate Balkin Siding andRentals and are openingContinental Country Ban-quet Hall in Nova.

She is involved in the Ash-land County Democrat Partyas Troy Township represen-tative on the Ashland CountyDemocrat Central Commit-tee and is vice president ofAshland County DemocratWomen’s Party.

Justice said residents ofAshland County have met

challenges in the past andnow are called to face newintertwined challenges,“seemingly impossible chal-lenges like major budgetcuts, foster care issues andopiate addiction. ... Withgovernment funds being cut,it’s just being able to handlethe budget. A close secondis the heroin issue and thethird thing would be fosterkids and what’s happeningthere moving forward.

Justice said the challengesare related and can be ad-dressed by helping families.

“If we get the familiesback intact, you’re going tostart to see the budget dobetter, you’re going to startto see the school systemsdo better,” he said. “You’regoing to spend less timewith people in jail.

“It’s not just one issue, it’sall three, but if I have to sayone thing, it’s the heroin is-sue that’s causing so muchdistress in our communities.”

The county’s problems can

be solved, not just by theschools, churches and non-profit groups, but by neigh-bors and friends, Justice said.

“Ashland and AshlandCounty is someplace spe-cial because of the people,”Just ice sa id . “(My)thoughts have centeredaround earlier educationfor our children, how toproperly dispose of leftoverdrugs so our kids and oth-ers can’t get to them, waysto inform people of thesigns of someone becomingunder the addiction ofdrugs, treatment alterna-tives and places for addictsto be able to get help.

“My feeling is these are allvery needed and they shouldbe supported but the funda-mental issue comes down tothe breakdown of the familystructure. The lack of hopethat things can and will getbetter when you’re takingthe so-called easy way outwith taking drugs. I call itthe escape culture.

“Why are people so des-perately trying to escapefrom reality. I believe that’sthe focal point for govern-ment, churches, nonprofits,families and friends to be amajor point of discussion.

“As some of this stuffcomes about, which it will,our budget will get some re-lief for the county. I’m willingto use whatever gifts God’sgiven me to work on the mostpressing issues of our day.”

Balkin said she offers 45years of work experience ineducation, business, mentalhealth, corrections, indus-try and community service.

“My primary goals are toincrease revenue, promotejob growth and higherwages, keep our commu-nity safe, improve public re-lations with agencies andthe community, increasemental health services andprotect members of ourcommunity,” Balkin said. “I

Gibbshas been a congressmansince 2011 and is seek-ing a fourth term.

The 7th District en-compasses parts or all of10 count ies f romCoshocton County to Lo-rain County. It coversportions of Stark andTuscarawas counties.

“I’m hoping to con-tinue the fight to bringsome common sense toWashington, DC,” Gibbssaid. “We’ve got toomuch government andI’m trying to make gov-ernment smaller, andkeep more money in tax

payers’ pockets so theycan invest. They knowhow to invest theirmoney better than bu-reaucrats in Washington,DC.

“I want to protect ourconstitutional rights aswe move forward, andmake sure from a na-tional security issue thatwe’re doing all we can toprotect our homeland,”he continued. “I thinkabout the future and pro-tecting our rights, andmake sure there are op-portunities to chasedreams.”

Gibbs feels govern-ment is over-regulatingthings and he would liketo help control that prob-lem.

“I have advocated forcommon sense regula-tory reform,” he said.“Regulations come alongthat are largely just suf-focat ing businesses,making it hard to be ableto operate and createjobs.

Rich is the DemocratBy KEVIN LYNCH

RichRich--

EATON TWP — RoyRich is a retired comman-der from the Cleveland Po-lice Department, who, after35 years in law enforce-ment, has de-cided to viefor the 7thDistrict Con-gress ionalseat currentlyoccupied byBob Gibbs(R-Lakeville).Rich is aDemocrat.

“Let me beclear about who I am. Ican’t be bought, I can’t becoerced,” Rich said. “And Iwon’t be intimidated. I ama reasonable man, but I willnot compromise my coreprinciples. I will work to-ward reasonable solutionsto the issues of the day.

“I have chosen to step upand run for U.S. CongressOhio District 7 because in2014, the current occupantof this office ran unop-posed,” he continued.“Since that time, he hascontinued to walk in lock-step with the leadership ofthe Republican Party, tothe detriment of the coun-try.”

Rich believes the Repuli-can party has done every-thing they can to block anyprogress. They continue tocriticize but offer no solu-tions or plans of their own.

They continue to take fromthe middle class and thepoor, while continuing togive larger and larger taxbreaks to the ultra rich andcorporations.

Tom Kruse, mayor of Sa-vannah and a long time vol-unteer for the AshlandCounty Park District, dis-cussed the need for the onehalf mill park levy at themeeting of the Rotary Clubof Loudonville last Thurs-day, Nov. 3.

A retired resource con-servation teacher at theAshland County -WestHolmes Career Center,Kruse opened his talk butrecalling many trips to Mo-hican State park with hisconservat ion studentswhere they spotted and in-ventoried the trees and per-formed both maintenanceand actual tree cutting forstate forest officials.

That, he said, “was along time ago, and unfortu-nately, as Ashland Countyis a very long county, fromnorth to south, I don't getdown here very much.”

The shape of the countyhas something to do withthe formation and evolutionof the Ashland County ParkDistrict, Kruse said. "Resi-dents of Sullivan would tellus 'it's farther for me todrive to Mohican than it isLake Erie,' which led to ourcreation of county parks inthe northern part of thecounty.

Underwritten by CleanOhio program funding, thecounty parks district wasable to purchase property

for county parks at 25 per-cent, with the Clean Ohiofunds paying for the re-maining 75 percent. “Wewere wildly successful inobtaining these funds, rais-ing $9 to $10 million to ac-quire parks, leading up tocreation of 16 differentAshland County Parks,”Kruse said. “Helping usalong was a very outdoorsyattitude among AshlandCountians, and a willingvolunteer base that helpedmaintain them.”

However, administrativedetails have become tooburdensome for just volun-teers, and our users tell usthey want features like re-strooms and paved walk-

ways, Kruse said. “Tocover the administrativecosts, and make these capi-tal improvements, we needfunds beyond those wehave now.”

He said the levy soughtis the smallest amount al-lowed by law, one half mill,which would produce about$300,000 a year for fiveyears. “It would cost ahomeowner with propertyvalued at $100,000 $17.50a year,” Kruse said.

He also stressed thatnone of these dollars wouldbe used on the two parksoperated by the districtthat are in RichlandCounty.

“We were the last county

in northeastern Ohio to cre-ate a park district, yet our'sis one the most successfulin the state, and one of the

few without a levy,” hesaid.

Ashland County ParksDistrict is hoping to passa levy that will keep itsparks open.

If passed, 2016’s 0.5-mill levy would provideoperating costs and fund-ing for improvements forfive years.

The countywide levywould cost the owner of a$100,000 home $17.50per year.

Currently, the park dis-trict operates on dona-tions, grants and throughthe efforts volunteerswho maintain the 16parks throughout thearea.

One such pro jectfunded through donationwas the addition of apath, rounding the fieldand snaking through theforest of Freer Field.That project took threeyears and $100,000 in do-nations.

“Our parks have to bemore accessible than theyare,” said park commis-sioner Bob DeSanto.

than minimum wage.“There’s a lot of manu-

facturing and technologyjobs that could come hereas opposed to anywhereelse,” King said.

King also called for anincreased presence in lo-cal law enforcement tohelp tackle the issues withopiates and said state andfederal money should beused to make that possi-ble.

King said he ran to allowfor voters to have a choicebetween candidates in theelection.

“I think the voters needan opportunity to chooseand I’m offering that oppor-tunity,” he said.

keeping track of federalfunds,” he said. “The jobmorphed into a full-time po-sition, but fortunately I wasable to do most of it athome, telecommuting withthe office in Columbus. Onefortunate aspect of my en-tire career has been havingaccess to cutting-edge com-puter and accounting tech-nology.”

The Lunts have four chil-dren. Christian, 35, lives inUpper Arlington and worksas a civil engineer with aprivate engineering firm inColumbus. He is married tothe former Katie Kettering,literally the girl next dooras she grew up right beside

the Lunt’s home on WestMain Street. They have twochildren.

Second son Patrick alsohas a civil engineering de-gree, and works at PVCommunicat ions inLoudonville as a computerprogrammer.

The Lunts have twindaughters, Melissa Burdand Katherine Woischke,both teachers. Marissa livesin Loudonville with hus-band Matt Burd, is a brandnew mother and teachesEnglish at her alma mater,Loudonville High School.

Katherine lives in Put-in-Bay and her husband is aferry captain for the MillerBoat Lines there. Sheteaches senior English on-line for the Ohio Connec-tions Academy, and is duefor her first child in January.

Lunt said he was re-cruited as treasurer of theAcademic Boosters by hiswife, who served as presi-dent in the late 1990s. “Ourkey to success is gettingmembers to join, and mostof the funds we disburse foracademic materials and in-centives come from mem-bership fees,” he said. “Infact, we have only one realfundraiser, a book sale eachyear that Renata, while nolonger still president, coor-dinates.”

Current AcademicBooster president is LisaChristine, and treasurerRoy Templeman.

He is in the first year ofhis second three-year termon the Mohican Commu-nity Fund Board, servingthe entire time as treasurer.

Of the Community Fund,

he said, “our biggest chal-lenge is getting involve-ment. We have a 15-mem-ber board, but it is hard toget all involved. We alsoneed new officers. Presi-dent Brian Hartzell hasserved three years and mefour as treasurer, and ourbylaws limit board mem-bership to two consecutivethree-year terms.”

He is a committed home-improvement worker, andimpressed many driving byhis yard this summer andfall as he rebuilt the impres-sive stone wall along hisdriveway.

“He has also entirely re-done the interior of ourhouse, and added a 16- by32-foot, two-story additionat the back of the house,”Renata said, proudly.

And he is a rabid Cleve-land Indians and Ohio StateBuckeyes fan, and attendedthree OSU national champi-onship games, losses toFlorida and LouisianaState, and the victory overOregon.

■ to secure the rights of the indi-vidual as given by the creator of theuniverse.■ to declare war and conclude

peace.■ to establish opportunities for

commerce.Another purpose is to act in the

best interest of the people. To do so,governments:■ derive their just powers from the

consent of the governed; they musttruly engage with the people and lis-ten if they are to be public servants.■ provide equal opportunities and

protections for all people so they maypursue life, liberty and happiness.■ respect the individual’s right to

conscience.For their protection:■ provide a strong military.■ pass immigration laws that allow

people into our country for the pur-poses of contributing to our economyand improving our communities.■ focus on the national interest

over special interest.

And to achieve prosperity by:■ accepting the responsibilities as a

steward of tax payer’s money.■ reducing the regulatory burden

placed on businesses and individuals.■ reducing the duplication and

overlapping of federal agencies and ofthe federal government and thestates.■ working to eliminate policies

that discourage work and pass lawsthat encourage work.■ creating tax laws that don’t redis-

tribute wealth.“I believe our federal government

should always balance the budget,”Phillip said. “Evidently Bob Gibbsdisagrees. He voted against a bal-anced budget bill. Think twice beforeyou elect someone who doesn't be-lieve in being a good steward ofsomeone else's money … yours andmine.”

In 1999, Phillip founded the Trans-formation Network in Ashland as anon-profit alternative to tax-payerfunded welfare programs. The Trans-formation Network earns its moneyfrom the partnerships developed withover 30 manufacturers in threestates.

“I have seen first-hand when brush-

fires of freedom are set in the mindsof men/women we can solve prob-lems and provide opportunities forthose who want meaningful work, ca-reers and lives,” he said. “I haveserved on the Ashland City PlanningCommission for six-years, am the Co-founder and Chairman of the Fire-lands Area Manufacturing Allianceand Advancing Industry Group ofAshland County. Both organizationsserve the people, manufacturers andimpacts Economic & WorkforceDevelopment efforts.”

Phillip feels the years and experi-ence gained developing these jointventures have prepared him for Wash-ington D.C. and to be the best kind ofpublic servant: an honest one.”

He has knocked on thousands ofdoors and attended many meetings atthe local level to learn what it is thatthe people want in their Congress-man, and he believes he is that per-son. “I strive to always be accessibleand responsive. That would be a wayto restore the confidence and trust ofthe people in this District.”

most challenging district inthe City of Cleveland,” Richsaid. “During my tenurewith the department, I wasan active union memberand held elected executiveboard positions in both thepatrol officers and supervi-sors unions. I was a Trus-tee in the Patrol Officersunion. I later served in thesupervisors union as VicePresident and President.

“In addition, I served onthe board of directors ofthe C leve land Po l i ceCredit Union since the late1990s, having been re-elected at the end of eachthree-year term,” he con-tinued. “I currently co-chair both the InvestmentCommittee and the CreditUnion Development Com-mittee, which oversee thebudget, investments, ex-penditures and the overalldirection of the $33 mil-lion-dollar portfolio.

“I believe in equal rightsfor all. I believe in defend-ing and support ingwomen’s rights and gayrights. I believe in meaning-ful jobs programs. I believein a livable minimum wage,in helping those less fortu-nate than ourselves, and inprotecting the environ-

ment,” Rich said. “I believein access to health care forall, and that no one shouldhave to choose between themedication they need orputting food on the table. Ibelieve higher educationshould be affordable to allwho have the aptitude anddesire to attend college.

“I believe we have a dutyto our veterans, who havesacrificed so much for ourcountry, to provide themwith support, quality healthcare and jobs upon their re-turn to our shores,” he con-tinued.

As a former ClevelandPolice Department com-mander, Rich has witnessedfirst-hand the gun violenceproblem in our neighbor-hoods in northeast Ohioand the country. “Thismust be addressed,” hesaid. “And, though I am agun owner and sportshooter, I firmly believe inuniversa l backgroundchecks for every gun trans-action, whether through li-censed firearms dealers orprivate sales.

“I believe we need toclose the tax loopholes forcorporations and the ultrarich, so that they pay theirfair share of taxes. I be-grudge no one the fruits oftheir labor, but I want cor-porations and individualsalike, to bear their fairshare of the tax burden.”

would work to increase rev-enue for the countythrough job growth bybringing more business andindustry to the area, en-courage business and in-dustry to increase wages,keep our community safeand eliminate abandonedbuildings, improve publicrelations with agencies andthe community, increasemental health services andwork to eliminate theheroin epidemic.”

Balkin said it is impor-tant for members of thecommunity to attend com-missioner meetings and of-fer their ideas.

“I would expect agenciesto communicate their needsto the commission, to de-

velop a plan to address is-sues and to report to thecommission before receiv-ing funds,” she said. “Iwould encourage eachagency to appoint a staffmember to search for grantsto help increase their fund-ing and to report this infor-mation to the commission.

“I would create a taskforce to address safety inthe community and to ad-dress the heroin problem. Iwould work to promoteeconomic development andparticipate in the develop-ment of new business andindustry for the county. Iwould meet with our cur-rent business and industrialleaders to discuss futureplans for development. Iwould also meet with newleaders to discuss theirplans and to welcome themto the community.”

and anemic recovery, is be-cause policies coming outof Washington, D.C.,” hecontinued. “We’ve got un-elected bureaucrats in thisadministration layering onmore regulations red tape,and the text code is notcompetitive in the globalmarketplace; that’s makingprivate sector businesses,entrepreneurs, have confi-dence to invest in globalbusinesses. We need somecertainty coming out ofWashington with some con-fidence.”

He sees jobs and theeconomy as a major issuefacing this district.

“It’s not just in this dis-trict, but the entire coun-try, and that’s jobs, econ-omy and national securityare overwhelming issues,”Gibbs said. “There’s beensome jobs created, but a lotof them are lower payingjobs. We’ve had flat, one-

percent GDP growth, so it’sbeen kind of a flat-linedeconomy. Locally, we’veseen two sectors of theeconomy take some hits,that’s agriculture and oiland gas industry.

As far as the budget,Gibbs sees progress sincehe has been in office.

“I think we’ve made someprogress trying to keepsome control of spending,”Gibbs said. “Federal budgetspending hasn’t gone up asfast as it was going up. It’scome down, but it’s proba-bly going to go back upagain as change is made.The public has never beenmore aware some of the cor-ruption going on and, on theregulatory side, there are somany more new regulationswe’ve been fighting so wecan slow some of that downand stop it.

“We still have spendingissues,” he continued. “Westill have deficits; we’re stillnot getting our budget un-der control, but it’s not asbad as it was when I came

into office and we took overthe House. I think the Amer-ican people are more awareof what’s going on. Whatwe’re seeing at the top ofthe ticket in the presidentialrace is a very different typeof race than we’ve ever ex-perienced in our lifetime. Ithink there’s a lot of pent-upfrustration, and you’re see-ing that at the top of theticket. Believe me, I feel thefrustration. I’m as frustratedas everyone else. We’vepassed some good legisla-tion in the house, and thispast two years we were ableto get some things throughthe Senate and to the Presi-dent’s desk, of course he ve-toed it.”

The congressman is ingood standing with theNRA and other national or-ganizations.

“I’ve got an A+ ratingwith the NRA, and I’vebeen endorsed by theChamber and the NationalFederation of Better Busi-ness and the Farm Bureau,”he said. “I’m very pro life,

and I’ve been endorsed bythe Ohio Right to Life andthe National Right to Life.”

He has served as chair-man of a subcommitteeduring his tenure in office.

“I’ve been honored to bea chairman of a subcommit-tee, called the Water Re-sources and Environment.It is a subcommittee ofTransportation and Infras-tructure. I’ve been thats ince I ’ve been there(2011), which is unusualfor a freshman to be put ona chairman position,” Gibbssaid. “This committee hasseveral areas of jurisdic-tion, but one the areas I’vefocussed on is the ArmyCorps of Engineers. Thiscommittee has really aboutthe only jurisdiction in theHouse for authorizationpurposes of all the stuff theArmy Corps of Engineersdoes. We deal with mar-itime transportation sys-tem, all of the river system,the lochs and dams, and allthe ports in the UnitedStates.”

Kruse also noted thatcounty parks for the mostpart are in the northernpart of the county becauseof the presence of Mohican,Memorial, Malabar andPleasant Hill Parks in the

southern part.“We could see forming a

county park in the south-ern part, but the opportu-nity has yet to arise,” hesaid.

Responding to a questionprompted by Letters to theEditor, Kruse said he hasnever been aware of anypromise made to never runa park levy in the county.

other words, even.” A focuson Freer Field was makingthe path wheelchair accessi-ble.

If the levy is not passed,it is possible that some ofthe spaces wi l l c lose.DeSanto has a contingencyplan if the levy does not
