Today kicks off National School Counselor Week, and we have some of the best in the business! To describe what school counselors do is a long list: help students with social and emotional issues, connect families with community resources, and helping students set goals and plan for their future are just the tip of the iceberg. Their role is critical in today's educational setting, and we are thankful for Mrs. Neff, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Bidlack and Mrs. Miller for all they do for our students and our district. Thanks for being awesome!

We have enjoyed featuring our six newest Hall of Fame members this week. Last, but certainly not least, is Judge Michael Rumer – Class of 1962, Community Service.

Michael A. Rumer was born in 1944 to Eugene and Shirley Rumer. Dad was a grocer in Lima and Mom did seamstress work out of the home. In 1957 the family built a residence on Reservoir Rd. and Mike and his siblings, Dan and Libby, entered Bath Schools. Mike graduated in 1962. Mike married Carol Croissant who, after college, returned to B.H.S. where she taught English until her retirement. Mike has three children who graduated from B.H.S. and six grandchildren who are attending or have graduated and gone on to college. Mike owes a serious debt of gratitude to the teachers at B.H.S. who nurtured the concept that public service is paramount for the preservation of our democracy. After high school, Mike entered B.G.S.U. where he earned his bachelor’s in education degree in 1966.

After teaching one year at the Bowling Green Public Schools while working on a master’s degree, Mike entered law school at Ohio Northern University in 1967 and graduated in 1970 with a Juris Doctorate degree. During his law school days, Mike achieved his first public office when elected as a member of the Bath Local School Board of Education where he served for six years. Mike passed the Ohio Bar in 1970 and entered the practice of law as a partner with the firm of Lawson, Rumer and Smith in Lima. While associated with LR&S Mike became a Referee and Administrative Assistant in the Allen County Juvenile Court for Judges Steiner and Kinworthy until late 1980. During this tenure, Mike acted as the liaison between the Court, Allen County Commissioners and architect for the design and construction of the David O. Steiner Juvenile Justice Center.

In November 1980 Mike was elected Judge of the Allen County Common Pleas Court where he served from 1981 until his retirement in 1997. During this period, Mike was actively involved in the planning and construction of the Allen County Justice Center which includes an adult detention facility, Allen County Sheriff’s Office, and the Common Pleas Court. As part of his Judgeship, Mike along with his colleague Judge Richard K. Warren, was instrumental in the creation of the Western Ohio Regional Treatment and Habilitation Center. The WORTH Center serves a seven-county area surrounding Allen County for non-violent offenders. During his tenure on the bench, Mike also served as an adjunct professor at the ONU law school and at Bluffton University.

After retirement from the bench in 1997, Mike joined the law firm of Cory, Meredith, Witter, Roush and Cheney which became Cory, Meredith, Witter, Rumer and Cheney. In March 2006 Mike joined his future spouse, Victoria Maisch, in the creation of the law firm of Rumer & Maisch Co., LLC which remains a viable law firm in Lima. One of his proudest events as a private attorney was acting as personal counsel for President George W. Bush in the 2004 presidential election.

The last day to purchase tickets to the Hall of Fame ceremony is February 1st. We hope you will join us in honoring these six on Saturday, February 12th. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased by contacting Missy Vandemark 419-221-0807 ext 6147.
