Four to run for three Bellbrook Council seats; mayor unopposed
Mary Graves, Bellbrook’s mayor for the past 14 years, will run unopposed again in the Nov. 3 election, but the other three City Council members on the ballot will have one challenger.
Incumbents Denny Bennett, Pat Campbell and Mike Schweller have served on council for more than 10 years and are running for re-election. They will be challenged by Jon Martin.
Martin has been chairman of the city’s board of zoning appeals and property review commission.
Adam Panstingel, chairman of the area’s Open Space Advisory Committee, also planned to run for council. But the county board of elections said only 49 of the 57 signatures Panstingel turned in were valid, one short of the 50 required.
Council seats have a four-year term and pay $4,000 per year, except for the mayor, who holds a two-year term that pays $6,000 per year. The jobs do not include benefit eligibility.
The terms of the other three city council members — Bob Baird, Joe Ritzel and Ralph Fussner — don’t expire until the end of 2011.

I am happy to see Jon Martin running. The mayor should have steped aside, her time has passed. Maybe Martin can be a fresh voice.
