The only people that have to be concerned about being on time to the new high school right now are the work crews. But that will all change this fall when Trotwood’s new high school opens to students.
The work continues fast and furious and there is quite a lot to show already, as readers will see by the new pictures on the web site this week. There is carpeting and cabinetry installed in many of the classrooms and bright red lockers already line many of the halls. The classroom wing will be the first to be complete under the schedule set by site manager Gary Jessie.
Jessie, a 1969 Trotwood-Madison graduate, works for Skillman Construction the primary contractor overseeing much of the construction effort. Because of his lifetime relationship with the district it is apparent he is just a little more proud of this project than others he has worked on. He recently offered to help find a new home for the concrete Rams Head that used to hang at the old building. It’s those little details that will give the district’s first new building in decades it’s own persona.
But it is not just Jessie that make’s Trotwood’s High School unique. “The main thing that sets this project apart from other schools I’ve worked on is the involvement by the school board,’ said Jessie. “Superintendent Dr. Draffen and [business manager] John Smith are here every day.” “They have been very helpful.”
In addition to the administration and board, a committee of residents, business leaders, and government representatives worked with the architects all through the design process and many of their suggestions are now becoming visible too.
The new high school is completely wired for new technology. The big windows of the Media Center or library provide natural light and add to its large open feel. The classroom wing includes many touches that will make learning exciting for years to come.
The classrooms are connected to the rest of the building by a large corridor called Main Street. Along one side are the school offices and the other side has several entrances from the student parking lot and bus drop off area. These entrances will require each student to swipe their id cards before they can enter the building. “Administrators will instantly know who is here and who’s not,” Jessie said as he pointed to the network wiring that leads back to the main office from each door. All visitors will have to come in the front.
At the other end of Main Street is the cafeteria with connections to the auditorium/theater, gymnasium and elevated walking track, and the two pools that will bring aquatic competitions to Trotwood for the first time. Students will appreciate the huge skylights above the cafeteria.
Our tour was nearing its end and suddenly Dr. Lowell Draffen appeared from the other side of the partially finished gymnasium eager to get his daily update. Today he was checking on the schedule to close up the remaining wall of the practice gym that is still being used to move large equipment in and out for the construction.
But this is just the first of several new school buildings coming to Trotwood. Draffen is also coordinating the planning for Madison Park Elementary. “Starting this fall Madison will be closed for two years,” said Draffen between conversations with Jessie. “The new building will be more technology oriented and the classrooms will be a little larger.”
The existing building will be torn down and the new elementary will be built at the same site. During that time those students will be distributed between the other elementary schools.
Everything at the high school is on schedule. Staff will be settling in during August and the first day for students will be September 6.

Council Moving
Forward On City Manager Search
Trotwood City Council this week had some warm words for Interim City Manager Mike Lucking but is moving ahead to develop an inclusive search process to permanently fill the city manager opening.
Mayor Don McLaurin assured Lucking that he would be considered for the position but feels that the city council has an obligation to the residents to make an informed decision. “Every city our size that I’m aware of that hired a manager in the last two years went through the process,” McLaurin noted.
Trotwood resident Bill Kreist highlighted the discussion during a budget workshop on Tuesday. Kreist, who is circulating a petition to encourage council to retain Lucking, asked council to skip the process and save the city money. The cost of hiring a search firm is estimated to be at least $10,000.
Councilmembers Oscar Holliday and Barbara Staggs were also against continuing the search. “The best decision to be made is basically sitting right here,” said Staggs. She believes Lucking should be offered the position.
“The cost is $10,000 or $20,000 we have not budgeted,” said Holliday. “Why look any further.”
Lucking has stated he feels the city manager job is a good fit for him and hopes to be selected for the position. During the workshop he cautioned the council that there are significant issues that need action. Budget constraints are requiring the city to consider personnel reductions and he wondered if it was fair to ask an interim manager to make those recommendations.
Mayor McLaurin reminded the council that they were very explicit with Lucking about the search process when he was appointed interim manager.
Council voted 5-2 to proceed with the search and begin interviewing search consultants.

Winter Storm
Tree Checkup
Many Ohio communities recently suffered the effects of intense snowfalls and ice. Below are a few considerations for those dealing with weather-damaged trees.
Don't be too eager to force trees and shrubs bent over by snow/ice into their former upright position. In removing the ice you may damage the plant. Wait for warmer weather to melt away the additional weight. If the lean was less than 45 degrees, the plant should right itself, but some staking may be required.
Thick snow/ice accumulation on larger trees will often exploit dead branches, those weakened by decay, and those poorly attached to the main stem. Topped trees are particularly vulnerable to ice damage due to this destructive practice. Some trees, because of their growth and form, are more susceptible to ice accumulation than others, and are thereby normally prone to damage.
For larger damaged trees, always seek the advice of a Certified Arborist. They know how to safely work around trees, and what treatments are and are not warranted.
Damaged trees should be closely examined before spring growth begins. Broken stubs from fallen branches should be pruned to prevent rot and insects from entering the broken area and damaging the rest of the tree. Failing to take steps now will cause the tree to become weaker and more susceptible to storm damage in five to eight years.
Tsunami Effort
Raises $3,500
A few weeks ago the Trotwood Church of the Brethren sent us a story about their youths’ effort in raising support for those affected the most by the devastating Asian tsunami.
As an update we wanted to reflect on how successful these youngsters, grades one through six, were during their three week drive in January.
As you may recall, they asked for health kits or ‘Gifts of the Heart’ including items like soap, band-aids, toothbrushes, combs, etc.
The congregation responded strongly to these young voices and was able to donate $3,500 and collected enough materials to complete 84 health kits and 52 partial. This far exceeded the goal of only making 80 health gifts with no dollar donations. Some of the money raised was used to complete the partial kits to a grand total of 136 made.
The Church World Service and Brethren Service will hand out these items to those who lost everything and make sure the money is used in the most needed areas.
Way to go to the entire church for their determination and selfless giving!
If you know of any group that has success in raising funding for these people of great loss, please send your story to us. We will be happy to pass your news.

Trotwood - Friday’s boys varsity basketball game proved to be too big of a night for Trotwood and with too little time for Xenia. It seemed as if it was just a good game for Trotwood’s team all around.
Every time I try to figure out who the player of the game was I find that it’s always up to debate. First I said that it was the young exciting forward Chris Wright who had two big alley-oops. If that was not enough he also had three big blocks in the first half that led Trotwood on an 11-3 scoring run, and an 8-0 rebound run.
Not only did Chris have a big game but Lee Bodie had an even larger night. Lee was able to stop the game and receive a round of applause when he scored his last free throw of the night adding up to 1,000 career points for the team captain. With that he also led the Rams in scoring the night, before the opening of the new high school building in 2005.
Last Friday with those two standouts, Trotwood still proved that it was even a bigger victory for the team. After defeating Xenia, Trotwood was named Greater Western Ohio Conference (GWOC) title this season. It was even more special because of it being the last game in their gymnasium.
The game started out close without big points in the first quarter. The first quarter ended with the score of 10-8 Trotwood. When the second half came along Trotwood was able to score 12 points as quick as Xenia could score 4. Big plays by sophomore sensation Chris Wright, and his three blocks and his alley-oop dunk delivered by the fancy and exciting playing of Treshon Jones. After that Trotwood went on an 8-0 rebounding run. By the end of the second half the score was 39-21.
At the start of the third quarter it seemed that Xenia had something to prove after stopping the fast break of Ryan Marable. But the points stayed in proportion, and Xenia did not take advantage. In the middle of the third quarter Marable redeems himself by throwing Wright’s second alley-oop that made the building shake. Once that dunk came down you had a sense that the game was over even though it was still early.
When the fourth quarter came along, Xenia played like the Trotwood of the second quarter. This was their best quarter of the game where they scored 24 point to Trotwood’s 11. Even though Xenia had a big quarter Trotwood had a way to steal the momentum with Bodie’s game stopping 1,000-point career record. The final score was 71-54
XHS 8 11 11 24 54
THS 10 29 15 11 71
Records: T, 17-4, 10-3 in GWOC west. X, 9-11, 6-7 in GWOC east.
Trotwood’s next game is Sunday at the UD Arena. The tournament playoff game starts at 3:30 against Colonel White (7-11, 3-7).

It's the end of the regular season for basketball. The tournaments have begun with both the Boy's and Girl's Varsity basketball teams.
Varsity Boy's are off to a good start. With their first tournament game victory against Miamisburg High School. The game had a slow start but once the Trotwood Runnin' Rams warmed up no one could put the fire out. We should congratulate or seniors, Lee Boddie, Morris Brown, Randy Underwood, Javon Watts, Ryan Marable, Dorian Sanders, Tresaun Jones, Patrick Tanner, Gary Hill, and Kevin Russell in representing Trotwood. We also commend Coach Thornton for being honored as the GWOC Coach of the Year. The next game is at UD Arena on Sunday February 20 at 3:30 PM against Colonel White.
The Varsity Girl's first tournament game was against Miamisburg at Troy High School. With the first game being a loss that brings an end to the season for the Lady Rams. The girls experienced a great number of losses due to unforeseen injuries to key players. We continue to support them because we know where the talents and skills are of each player that will be magnified through hard work over the summer for next year. We would like to also recognize the seniors: Antoinette Mize, Ashley Rankin, and Janae Garrett. We wish you the best, young ladies, in your future endeavors.
With 177 Participants in their tournament totaling over 217 entries, Dayton Center Courts and Tennis Academy, will be very busy this Presidents Day Weekend. While Dayton Center Courts & Tennis Academy hosts over 18 tournaments annually this is one of the biggest and will contribute over $53,000 to our local community this weekend.
This tournament contains singles and doubles with the doubles including a pizza party for the kids. The age divisions are girls and boys 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18. Although this is a local tournament only 22 entries are from the Dayton Area. Participants come form all over Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan and Illinois to play. Dayton Center Courts is located at 4801 Salem Avenue

Under discussion in Columbus is some terrifying news for cities. The state is proposing cuts to the local government funds it doles out each year. To cities like Trotwood, that contribution can mean several hundred thousand dollars. To cities like Dayton it means millions.
During a recent interview, when asked what local governments should do to make up for the loss, a state representative shrugged, saying he didn’t know. That answer puts the burden to make up the difference squarely on the local governments with either more cuts or more local taxes.
State legislators need to look harder for new revenue sources to fill the shortfall that is causing cuts to local governments and many other worthwhile programs. They seem to have their heads buried in the sand and believe that finding new revenue will label them as tax and spend drunken sailors. It’s time to get out of the sand and identify new revenue to fund the state budget.
One way is to add sales tax on ‘food to go.’ Currently, unlike Ohio, none of our neighboring states exempt food to go. Is the removal of a tax exemption considered raising taxes? Are Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania wrong to tax prepared food to go?
I posed this concept to an insider in Columbus recently and was told that this has been considered during the last three sessions but the fast food lobby derailed it successfully each time. Now those legislators will have to return to their home districts and explain that McDonalds and Wendys are part of the cause of budget reductions.
Maybe a tax on food to go will have some other added benefits. It could create jobs since it would cost the same to go in and sit down in the restaurant, creating jobs for servers, busboys, and hostesses. It might also be seen as a positive health benefit to help curtail the nations number one killer - obesity. The legislature had no qualms about upping cigarette taxes recently. Has the fast food lobby become stronger than the tobacco lobby?
Our legislators are overlooking a logical revenue source apparently so they can get reelected. The local government funds are much more important to more people than insuring campaign war chests. New revenues, such as removing the sales tax exemption on food to go, can benefit everybody without diminishing the state’s ability to successfully compete for business with its neighbors.
Just wanted to drop a line about the Wright State Hickey team. The team is going to Chicago the last weekend of February to play in the Regional Tournament. Then to get really exciting, they have been selected to the Sweet 16 of the ACHA (American Collegent Hockey Association) for the National Collegent Championship in Pittsburg, Pa. the first week of March. The team is leaving March 1, at noon. They will play during the week with finals on Sunday we are assuming. As soon as they make the play off list available I will see that you get a copy so that folks, in and around Dayton/Trotwood that like Hockey, may want to make the trip to watch them.
They played the Purdue Boilermakers this Friday and Saturday. Friday, was at Hara where they played to a 2-2 tie at the end of regulation. They then played a 5 minute sudden Death where they also finished at a 2-2 tie. To day Saturday they also played Purdue at Nutter Center. They were tied at once again 2- 2 at the end of regulation time. After a short break they came out and at the 30 second mark Wright State boys scored to make the win at 3-2. Purdue is a Division II hockey team and Wright State is playing as a Division III team.
This was their last regular season game. NOW OFF TO THE TOURNEMENTS!!
For more information go to WWW.WSUHOCKEY.COM
They are still in need of sponsors even yet to have enough to make the Pa. trip a little easier on the parents. There is a link to go to on the web site for becoming a sponsor. Any way to find support let me know!! This is NOT a school-supported sport so they all must foot their own support.

Landfill
Opponents Still Concerned
The Feb. 15 "Call for Action" group opposing the landfill was a very informative meeting.
To assume that the battle is over is far from the truth because of the passage of allowing a 50-acre landfill on Olive Road. Hopefully, Waste Management will not consider this area.
The residents of Olde Town Trotwood and all of the city and beyond need to realize if our Zoning Commission and City Council ever change the zoning of the 700 acres owned by Waste Management to Industrial which would allow a landfill on this site, the impact on this whole community will be most devastating. Waste Management will try to wear us down because they have money and time on their side. With the city facing one if its biggest budget strains in years, this could happen.
We have to encourage our elected officials to represent the will of the people, which is NO LANDFILL. Call Council members, put up signs, do what you can to encourage them to stand firm against the pressures of big business.
