A background check on Keil was done at the church he belonged to, said Pastor Tom Alexander of the Fairfield Christian Church. But the check done on June 27 for Keil did not turn up any prior criminal record during the past year.

According to the Lancaster Eagle Gazette July 27…

When church officials were not able to locate the background check in their files this week, they asked the two companies they normally use for background checks to search their files for Keil’s records, said Rev. Tom Alexander of Fairfield Christian.

According to the Columbus Dispatch on July 22nd…

The Rev. Adam Day, children’s pastor at Fairfield Christian Church, said Keil “was clean” in a seven-year background check performed for the church by a private company, Clear Investigative Advantage. 

What is the TRUE story?

Kohl’s Grand Opening at Ety Pointe is scheduled for October 3.

Over the past few weeks I have had quite a few occasions where I have emailed city and county departments for information.  Almost without fail I have gotten NO response from the email.  One of two things could be happening:

1. I am getting blown off
2. Our government offices are not in the habit of reading and answering email

Situation #1 is not good.  If our government offices are blowing off inquiries it would indicate an arrogance and lack of understanding who pays their paycheck.

The more likely situation, however, is situation #2.  One of two things needs to happen.  Local government offices need to be trained and expected to read and answer the department’s email on a regular basis, at least daily.  Failing this the city should remove the email addresses from the city and county’s web site.  Listing these email addresses on the web site implies that the departments will respond.

The Columbus Dispatch reported today that the Joyce Guenther Birthday Blood Drive yielded 60 pints of blood in honor of her 50th birthday.
