Recovery Plan To Create New Housing in Old North Dayton

By

With support by the Dayton Recovery Plan, 16 new owner-occupied, single-family
homes are slated for a one-acre site known as The Point in Old North Dayton.
The market-rate, two-story homes are planned for the northeast corner of the
intersection of Keowee and Valley Streets (near the north end of the Tony Stein
Memorial Bridge). The homes will be in groups of four in four buildings facing Valley
Street and Keowee Street, with parking areas behind the buildings.

Initial renderings, final design to be approved. Perspectives: from Keowee Street

The City of Dayton is working in partnership with Cincinnati-based Civitas Development
Group to launch the project. Civitas is a minority-owned company with a record of
success in developing single and multi-unit properties. It specializes in urban infill
development and collaborative leveraging of private and public funding.

With City Commission approval on May 8, the Dayton Recovery Plan will invest $1.5
million in the $4 million project. The Dayton Recovery Plan funds will be used for
predevelopment and construction services needed to build the homes.

The development capitalizes on roadway and greenspace improvements in the
immediate vicinity and will create a new gateway to the Old North Dayton area. In
recent years, CityWide Development Corporation, in cooperation with the City Dayton,
led a process to identify and implement enhancements in The Point area.

The Dayton Recovery Plan is the City of Dayton’s framework for transformative
investment of $138 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act funds dedicated to
recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. Dayton’s goal for the funding is to create
long-term transformational and sustainable impacts in focus areas, as well as special
initiatives with impact citywide. For more information, go to daytonohio.gov/drp.

Boy Scouts will rebrand as Scouting America

By

The Boy Scouts of America is changing its name for the first time in its 114-year history and will become Scouting America. It’s a significant shift as the organization emerges from bankruptcy following a flood of sexual abuse claims and seeks to focus on inclusion.

The organization steeped in tradition has made seismic changes after decades of turmoil, from finally allowing gay youth to welcoming girls throughout its ranks. With an eye on increasing flagging membership numbers, the Irving, Texas-based organization announced the name change Tuesday at its annual meeting in Florida.

“In the next 100 years we want any youth in America to feel very, very welcome to come into our programs,” Roger Krone, who took over last fall as president and chief executive officer, said in an interview before the announcement.

The organization began allowing gay youth in 2013 and ended a blanket ban on gay adult leaders in 2015. In 2017, it made the historic announcement that girls would be accepted as Cub Scouts as of 2018 and into the flagship Boy Scout program — renamed Scouts BSA — in 2019.

There were nearly 1,000 young women in the inaugural class of female Eagle Scouts in 2021, including Selby Chipman. The all-girls troop she was a founding member of in her hometown of Oak Ridge, North Carolina, has grown from five girls to nearly 50, and she thinks the name change will encourage even more girls to realize they can join.

The Boy Scouts’ $2.4 billion bankruptcy reorganization plan took effect last year, allowing the organization to keep operating while compensating the more than 80,000 men who say they were sexually abused as children while scouting.

Angelique Minett, the first woman chairperson of Scouts BSA, gets excited about the future of scouting when she sees the about 20-person youth council from across the United States help guide the program by raising issues important to them, like sustainability, and things that they’d like to see changed, like the fit on some of the uniforms.

“When we think scouts we think knots and camping, but those are a means to an end,” Minett said. “We are actually teaching kids a much bigger thing. We are teaching them how to have grit, and we’re teaching them life skills and we’re teaching them how to be good leaders.”

The organization won’t officially become Scouting America until Feb. 8, 2025, the organization’s 115th birthday. But Krone said he expects people will start immediately using the name.

“It sends this really strong message to everyone in America that they can come to this program, they can bring their authentic self, they can be who they are and they will be welcomed here,” Krone said.

First Baptist Church of Dayton Celebrates its Bicentennial

By

Sunday, May 12 will mark a special day in the ongoing 200thAnniversary Celebration for First Baptist Church of Dayton. As part of the Sunday morning worship service, the church will dedicate an Ohio Historical Marker on its front lawn at Monument Avenue and Ludlow Street. Representatives from Ohio History Connection will help unveil the new sign and speak to the importance of recognizing the long-standing history of the church in the community.

“The dedication will take place outside the church at approximately 10:45 a.m.,” stated Pastor Kent Berghuis. “The church service and the dedication are open to the public and all are welcome and encouraged to attend this jubilant event.”

The church also extends an invitation to the community when it will celebrate its 200th anniversary on Sunday, May 26, 2024. The church will welcome back former pastors, out of town members, and special guests. Church services will begin at 10:00 a.m. followed immediately with a luncheon at the church at 11:30 a.m. If you would like to attend, please RSVP by May 17 to [email protected] or call 937-222-4691.

For those that cannot attend the unveiling of the historic marker, below is the text on both sides of the marker.

First Baptist Church of Dayton organized on May 29, 1824. A council met on the porch of William Huffman’s home at Third and Jefferson and approved 9 members as a congregation. The next day Lydia Huffman was baptized in the Great Miami River, the first recorded Baptist immersion in the city. Their first church building was erected in 1827 on Main Street. In 1829 the congregation suffered a Campbellite schism. Those resolved to remain Baptist incorporated on February 25, 1837, as The First Regular Baptist Church of Dayton, Ohio. The foundations for the Monument Avenue building were begun prior to the 1913 Dayton flood and the cornerstone was laid May 31, 1914. The building was completed, furnished, and ready for worship on June 26, 1915.

First Baptist has long been a beacon of progressive ministry. Many of Dayton’s leading families — with names like Stout, Thresher, Barney, Robert, Canby, McCann, Beaver, and Deeds — were members. The church hosted Orville Wright’s 1948 funeral as his niece, Ivonette Wright Miller, was a member of the church and its choir. Notable long-serving pastors included Henry Colby (1868-1903), Charles Seasholes (1931-1965), and nationally-known Baptist leader J.C. Massee (1913-1919). First Baptist was a leading American supporter of foreign mission work while simultaneously sponsoring such fledgling Dayton congregations as Zion Baptist, considered the city’s oldest Black Baptist church. First Baptist welcomed women into leadership and in 2017 adopted a “Welcoming and Affirming” statement. Celebrating its bicentennial, First Baptist Church builds on its rich history with faith for a vibrant future.
