The COVID-19 pandemic dominated the news in 2020.

A vaccine to help prevent the virus began arriving at medical facilities in December.

DARKE COUNTY — While each year brings its own unique blend of stories, the year 2020, for lack of a better phrase, “takes the cake.”

A common hope, both nationwide and worldwide, is

A different kind of ‘Toy Story’ Ansonia Lumber announces Wooden Toy Contest winners

By Carol Marsh

ANSONIA — When Pixar Films released its first feature film Toy Story in 1995, one character captured both our hearts and memories. Woody, the antique pull-string sheriff, with his small golden badge shining on a cowhide vest and quiet smile painted on his wooden face, invites us to remember that well-made toys, crafted by skilled hands and cherished by little ones, can last well beyond a season, becoming heirlooms enjoyed for generations.

For woodworkers all over the world, creating heirloom quality toys (like Woody), that look flawless but are still fun to play with, is a worthy and rewarding challenge. For 27 years, Darke County residents have enjoyed seeing and hearing a different kind of “toy story” each year in Ansonia, and admiring the talent, skill and creativity of our neighbors, family and friends.

Ansonia Lumber, located at 300 Main Street in Ansonia, has sponsored the annual Wooden Toy Contest each year since 1993, inviting both youth and adult members from the Darke County community to design and build toys which would be judged on their precision, detail, craftsmanship, and the overall “fun” of the toy, itself.

“It was started as a way to help under privileged children at Christmas time and a way to show case some of the local woodworking talent and to inspire them to take part in it,” said Mitch McCabe, Sales and Marketing Manager for Ansonia Lumber. Last year, Ansonia added a youth competition to encourage youth to participate in the fun and excitement of this annual event.

Health Dept. explains COVID-19 vaccine availability Staff report

DARKE COUNTY — Darke County residents have been responding positively to the new COVID-19 vaccine, according to a Dec. 29 press release from

the Darke County General Health District.

“We have experienced an increase in phone calls from the general public wanting to know when they can get their vaccine,” stated Emily

Hoisington, BSN, nursing director, at the Darke County General Health District.

The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) began dispersal of the COVID-19 vaccine last week.

Along with the vaccine doses, ODH provided local health departments with guidance as to how the vaccines should be distributed.

While all major media outlets have declared Democrat Joe Biden the president-elect, President Donald Trump and many of his supporters refuse to concede the election, with claims of widespread voting fraud. We will find out with certainty no later than Jan. 20, 2021. Predominantly Republican Darke County gave Trump a majority of its votes, as well as returning incumbent State Representatives Jena Powell and Susan Manchester to the Ohio Statehouse.

Darke County schools did move to remote learning for students for much of the spring semester in order to prevent the spread of COVID. However, plans were formulated during the summer for both students and staff to safely return to classrooms in the fall, and return they did. An upsurge in COVID cases, though, could return pupils once more to home learning.

In November, Larry Holmes was elected to the Darke County Board of Commissioners, and will take the seat of Commissioner Mike Rhoades, who did not seek reelection. Peggy Emerson was named the new president of the Darke County Chamber of Commerce in November, taking over for outgoing president Sharon Deschambeau. Greenville Police Chief Steve Strick resigned in December, and will be replaced by Lt. Eric

We learned to appreciate a slew of things which once were taken for granted, and this by itself is good news we can all cling to going forward into 2021.

Kate Gorman, master quilter and textile artist, smiles with Mississinawa Valley Art Instructor Ashley Austerman. As a result of the Stay-at-Home order last March, Gorman assisted students in finishing their quilts by putting on the backing and completing the top stitching from her home studio in Westerville, Ohio.

patchwork (pieces of torn cloth stitched together), appliqué (cut out patterns in shapes and designs), and embroidered (embroidered stitchery from patterns on solid color fabrics).

This past school year (2019-2020), Mississinawa Valley Art Instructor, Ashley Austerman, wanted to add some fiber art into the curriculum at Mississinawa Valley Schools. Funded with an Ohio Arts Council grant, titled “Art in the Darke,” Austerman, along with

Ohio Arts Council Residency Artist, Kate Gorman, encouraged MV high school art students to explore the use of fabric and textiles in the design and creation of heirloom quality quilts.

In September 2019, they began the year-long journey to assist students in the creative process of designing and assembling the patterned fabrics.

“We were inspired to apply for the Teach Arts Ohio grant to bring art in our community,” said Aus-

terman. “ I chose the artist by researching and calling local art organizations for recommendations for artists to do residencies. I wanted to bring someone into our schools that could share lots of new skills and techniques, and also bring community art projects into the community. Kate Gorman of Westerville, Ohio, stuck out to me because she had many skills that myself and students at MV could learn from, and she had a lot of unique community artwork included in her portfolio.”

Additional funding was granted by Wayne HealthCare, who provided the community influence for “Art in the Darke” quilt project. Terri Flood, Vice President of Business Development, and Jennifer Robinson, Marketing and Physician Outreach Coordinator, invited MV students to tour the Greenville facility, drawing inspiration from the many dedicated health care workers and support staff who provide encouragement and comfort to those needing medical attention. Students were inspired by the chapel,

“The students took a tour of Wayne Healthcare to develop their ideas. We wanted our students to experience the full aspect of designing a piece of artwork for a space,” explained Austerman. “Wayne Healthcare did an awesome job at giving our students an educational tour that inspired many of their ideas.”

Some of the project designs created by students included Looking Back, Looking Ahead (a collection of four quilts highlighting the four generations of Wayne HealthCare), Ribbons (cancer awareness) Love, Strength, Faith, Hope (the Chapel and the importance of faith) Greenville (host community ) Starry Night (Birthing Center) and Breathe (respiratory care services).

our notice, as we seek refuge from the plummeting temperatures outside.

The many hours spent sewing each piece requires artistic vision, talented hands, and great patience.

Indeed, in addition to being an essential and practical asset, a quilt can often tell a story, conveying the best elements of family and community life, well-loved and well-lived.

Over the centuries, quilts have become a part of the fabric of history, both in Europe, India, the Far East, as well as colonial America and beyond. In 13th century medieval Britain, quilts, called culcita (meaning “cushion” in Latin) were first used both as bed coverings and ornate patterned clothing in weathy families, and passed down as heirlooms from one generation to the next. Because bed coverings were large and required great skill and labor to complete, the concept of quilting as a social activity became popular, especially in colonial North America, where early Dutch and English immigrants created the quilting tradition, known as a “bee.” Women would gather together, and through the patient skill of many hands, a large quilt could be stitched in a single day. Today, three different techniques are often used in the concept and creation of a great quilt:

their fabric collages right before we were all let out in March, and a few groups of students that had to work independently on their quilts from home,” explained Austerman.“In our original plan, we were going to ask for volunteers to put the backing on the quilts, but since we were all at home during the Stay-atHome order, our visiting artist, Kate Gorman, put the backing on all the quilts and did the top stitching from her home in Westerville.”

Additional funding and in-kind donations came from many in the community, including Walmart, the Red Barn (Monroeville, Ind.), Frank Miller, Lumber Co. Inc., Pellon, Elaine Mote, Lois Hoggatt, Kathy Street, Audrey Hathaway, as well as parents and friends of the Mississinawa Valley schools.

The beautiful quilts are currently displayed throughout the hospital and in the new addition at Wayne HealthCare, located at 835 Sweitzer Street in Greenville. For more information on viewing the quilts, visit the Wayne Healthcare Facebook page, or visit waynehealthcare.org.

Arcanum downs tall Eagles team

By Gaylen Blosser DarkeCountyMedia.com

ARCANUM – The Arcanum Trojans battled back from an 8 point first quarter deficit to defeat a tall visiting Troy Christian Eagles team 44-28 in non-conference basketball action.

“They had some athletes out there,” said Arcanum coach Roger McEldowney.

“They got the first few offensive rebounds and I thought we might be in for a long night but we talked to them about getting a body on somebody and being more aggressive going after it – it seemed like we were after that.”

The visiting Eagles took the opening quarter by a 14-10 score and stepped up defensive pressure in the second quarter to shutout Troy 13-0 and take a 23-14 lead at the break.

“We started in a zone and they got a couple buckets and then we ended up towards the end of the first quarter going to man,” McEldowney stated. “Our kids really played man defense well and gave them some trouble the rest of the way.”

Arcanum junior, Jake Goubeaux paced the Trojans with 15 first half points including three 3-pointers.

“We were struggling to score a little bit like we have most of the year and Jake hit some huge shots in

Three Patriots named to Patriots Holiday Classic Tournament team: Dalton Delong, Layne Sarver and Josh Scantland.

Tri-Village wins Patriot Holiday Classic

By Dale Barger

DarkeCountyMedia.com

NEW MADISON – TriVillage on the strength of a solid first half took a 28-13 lead on Troy Christian which was enough for them to hold off a late surge by the Eagles to win the Patriot Holiday Classic Tournament for the 3rd time.

The Patriot Holiday Classic hosted by TriVillage started in 2014 with the host team winning the first two years.

But over the last 4 years Cincinnati Mariemont and Eaton have won once and Ansonia twice as TriVillage broke the 4 year title drought.

The Patriots defense was again key in setting the tone for the contest with a full court trap creating some easy buckets early while keeping Troy Christian from getting into any sort of rhythm on offense.

The press led to one attempted dunk by Layne Sarver over the top of a Troy Christian defender and moments later a two handed slam on the baseline as the Patriots went up 4-2 early.

Tri-Village took an 11-5 first quarter lead with Josh Scantland and Sarver each scoring 4 points along with a triple

by Dalton Delong.

Patriot Holiday Classic Tournament MVP Layne Sarver slams a dunk for Tri-Village in tournament play.

Delong connected on two more triples in the 2nd quarter scoring 11 points in the first half along with Layne Sarver adding 10 as the Patriots took the 28-13 lead at the break.

Tri-Village came out strong in the 2nd half, mainly behind the play of Sarver who scored 8 of the 10 points in the frame. Sarver helped the Patriots build a 38-22 lead by the end of the 3rd quarter.

The Patriot offense sputtered somewhat in the final stanza scoring just 4 points while the Eagles scored 9 the most in the game for one quarter … but it wasn’t enough to catch TV who went on to claim the Tournament Championship with the 42-31 win.

Layne Sarver scored 40 points in the two game tourney and for that was named MVP of the Patriot Holiday Classic. TV’s Dalton Delong and Josh Scantland both were named to the AllTournament Team. Joining them on the team were Ben Major and Alex Free from Troy Christian and Isaac Barga from Ansonia.

The Tri-Village junior varsity boys also won the Holiday Classic tournament with a 63-36 win and remains undefeated like the varsity boys both at 9-0 on the year. The boys will host Mississinawa Valley on Tuesday January 5th.

Ansonia won the consolation game over Eaton by the score of 42-34 with Reece Stammen scoring 13 points and Isaac Barga 11.

Ansonia improves to 5-4 on the season and will host Franklin Monroe on Tuesday January 5th.

the first half,” McEldowney noted. “That just really kind of gave us a little bit of a cushion.”

The Trojans continued to put distance between the teams in the third outscoring the Eagles 16-6 to lead 39-20 with the teams heading to the final period of play. Ian Baker had the third quarter hot hand dropping in 9 points including a trey.

Fourth quarter play saw Coach McEldowney go to his bench early with the visitors taking the final quarter 8-5 giving the home team an impressive win over the Eagles.

Goubeaux led Arcanum and all scorers with a game high 18 points and Baker added 11 points for the Trojans.

ANSONIA – The Arcanum Lady Trojans defeated the Ansonia Lady Tigers 80-23 in Tuesday night CCC action. The Ansonia program has had a slow start to the season due to the Lady Tigers battling quarantine issues.

“I felt like Ansonia came out and played hard but credit to my girls,” said Arcanum coach, Abbey Moore. “We talked about it in the locker room – we still have to be able to come out and play our game.

We can’t skip a beat and to be able to do that under control and with class and dignity – I felt like we were able to do that.”

The Lady Trojans used 7 Ellie Fout first quarter points to jump out to an 18-2 lead and take the

unfortunate the situation they have been in throughout the year. This was only their fifth game so they are at the beginning of the year.”

“I feel like we are in that midway stretch so we are at a different part in our season,” Moore added.

Period No. 2 had Arcanum junior Hailey Unger leading six Lady Trojans in the scoring column drilling two 3-pointers and three 2-point baskets good for 12 points with Arcanum taking the period 24-4 sending the teams to the halftime break the visitors leading by a 44-9 score.

continued to use her entire bench with five players putting points on the board to lead 59-13 heading to the final period of play.

Five Lady Trojans got in the fourth quarter scoring column led by Madelyn Fearon’s 7 points including a trey, Kaitlyn Toy with 4 points, Emilie Fout and Unger each with a 3-pointer, Gray a basket and Hannah Smith going 2-2 at the line.

Ansonia accounted for 10 fourth quarter points with Mariah Troutwine and Abby Kramer each posting 4 points and Kierra Reichert and Maddie Buckingham knocking down a free throw each.

“That is something we have been working on since the Miami East game,” Coach Moore said of the team’s earlier season loss to the Lady Vikings. “It’s something called discipline. We have changed our focus in practice and everything is about being disciplined. It starts with our warm-ups in practice. They have to go on what I say, my whistle, listening and that transfers into the game and that showed tonight.”

“Kudos to my girls for being disciplined in these situations because it’s not easy,” Moore added. “I have been on both ends of the spectrum but those Ansonia girls fought hard the whole game and got some big offensive boards in the second half.”

All 9 Lady Trojans in uniform got in the scoring column with Hailey Unger leading Arcanum and all scorers with a game high 21 points. Lauren Burns paced Ansonia with 7 points going 7-8 at the free throw line.

Toy From page 1A

American Woodshop has been the Ansonia Lumber Wooden Toy Contest’s expert judge throughout the years, making the annual competition a revered holiday event for toy makers of all ages. As he stated last year, “I will never see such quality of work. It’s spectacular.

This is the reason I come here…to play and have fun. Men don’t want socks and shoes, they want toys. Of all the places on earth, this is Christmas to me.”

McCabe met Phillips 28 years ago through a mutual friend, taking his son to watch Phillips film an episode of his show, and invited him to participate the contest as its judge.

Since then, each year (with the exception of one), Phillips has brought his expertise, enthusiasm and love of the craft to Ansonia’s contest, delighting Darke County residents with his quick wit and fun commentary.

This year, due to COVID-19, the contest judging, which is usually held live, with 50 or 60 spectators in the store, moved to virtual platform through ZOOM. Phillips judged 37 adult entries and nine youth entries from his home, while Mitch McCabe described each toy in detail, demonstrating its operation and function.

The winners were then announced December 19, 2020, on Ansonia Lumber’s website and Facebook Page. A total of 22 contestants participated in the contest overall.

Rhoades retiring after 20 years of service Highlighting the work of Darke County Commissioner Mike Rhoades

By Nathaniel Kubik DarkeCountyMedia.com

GREENVILLE — With 2020 coming to a close, new and returning elected officials will soon begin their terms in Darke County. In light of this, The Daily Advocate would like to take the time to recognize one of Darke County’s best-ever public servants, County Commissioner Mike Rhoades.

Rhoades will be retiring at the end Gaylen Blosser | Darke County Media of this year, following 20 years of Former Darke County Commissioner Mike Rhoades is shown with his service as a county commissioner, final Christmas present from his fellow commissioners, a yard-long Snickers bar. Thanks to Mike Rhoades for all he has done for Darke and 16 years of service as the senior County throughout the years. commissioner. He will be replaced by

Larry Holmes (R) effective Jan. 3.

Rhoades was sworn in as a Darke County Commissioner in 2001, and has since made numerous and diverse contributions to the Darke County community. Prior to his stint as a commissioner, Rhoades worked as a machinery salesman for John Deere. He was also a Darke County fairboard member for a number of years. Rhoades credits his time on the fairboard with teaching him the importance of truly listening to the concerns of the general public, and enacting measures on behalf of public consensus. In an interview with The Daily Advocate, Rhoades said he

was encouraged to run by his former neighbor and was inspired by his late father, who passed away while running for a county commissioner seat.

Perhaps Rhoades’ crowning achievement has been his work on the Darke County airport — a project he worked on for nearly all 20 years of his service. When Rhoades was first sworn in, Darke County owned only the terminal, fueling area, and runway. Shortly after, the federal government began providing grants for airport improvements, but, partially due to 9/11, county funds for See RHOADES | 3B

DCP offers Christmas tree recycling Staff report

DARKE COUNTY — After the holidays, most real trees make their way to the curb to be hauled off to the landfill. Because trees are biodegradable, many people believe that there will be no harm in doing so.

So what’s the problem? When organic waste, like a live tree, breaks down in a landfill, it does so without oxygen. In this process, methane is released. Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas with a 100-year global warming potential 25 times that of CO2.

In an effort to keep trees out of the landfill, Darke County Park District is offering our Christmas tree recycling once again. Collection begins Dec. 26, 2020 through Jan. 16, 2021. Just drop off your tree at Shawnee Prairie Preserve, 4267 St. Rt. 502 W. in Greenville. Trees will be then be shredded to replenish mulch on the park district’s walking paths. Some trees are also used to provide enrichment in the form of perching options and shelter in the enclosures for the birds of prey. DCP is accepting natural trees only, no greenery or wreaths, and no flocked trees (fake snow). Please remove all ornaments, tinsel, and lights before drop-off, and no plastic bags.

For more information, or to learn more about the Darke County Parks, call 937-548-0165.

The Greenville Church of the Bretheren was recently recognized by the CBC for being a “hometown hero,” for the many times they have hosted blood drives throughout the years.

CBC recognizes ‘hometown heroes’ Staff report

GREENVILLE — We count our blessings this holiday season by counting 12 heroes. During the “12 Days of Christmas Blood Drive,” Community Blood Center is honoring 12 “Hometown Heroes” who have defended the region’s blood supply during the dark days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Greenville Church of the Brethren is not just a Hometown Hero of the pandemic, it is a CBC home base. Long before the coronavirus reached our shores the Church of the Brethren had gained the reputation as “the Blood Drive Church” because of its monthly schedule of blood drives.

Month after month, year after year, sponsors from

Greenville civic groups, businesses and charitable organizations recruit donors for their blood drives. All are easily familiar with the central location of the Greenville Church of the Brethren.

CBC account representative Dana Puterbaugh has praise for all her blood drive sponsors, volunteers and donors, especially in the challenging time

of COVID-19. She gives special “Hometown Hero” thanks and recognition to the Greenville Church of the Brethren and Pastor Ron Sherck.

“There is a very longstanding relationship between you folks and our congregation,” said Pastor Ron Sherck.

Spirit, the red-tailed hawk, sits atop one of the recycled Christmas trees dropped off last season at Shawnee Prairie Preserve, 4267 St. Rt. 502 W. in Greenville, Ohio. Tree recycling runs from Dec. 26, 2020 to Jan. 16, 2021.

GREENVILLE — The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine has arrived in Greenville. Staff at Wayne HealthCare were the first to receive the vaccination last Thursday morning.

The first small shipment of vaccines in Greenville comes as a part of Phase 1A of the vaccine distribution from the Ohio Department of Health (ODH).

Phase 1A is focused primarily on, “high-risk healthcare providers and residents of congregate

care facilities,” according to information provided by the ODH. The next phase of vaccinations, hopefully coming in the very near future, will focus on adults who are 65 years of age or older, those with developmental disabilities such as sickle cell or down syn-

drome, and all adults working in school buildings.

The Moderna vaccine is administered in a two-dose series, with the second dose coming 28 days after the first. According to the FDA, protections against See VACCINES | 2B

Dr. Stephanie Buchanan, a surgeon at Wayne, was the first to receive the vaccine in Greenville. Along with Dr. Buchanan, a number of other surgeons, registered nurses, and hospital staff received the vaccine.

Dr. Buchanan, alongside her colleague Dr. Alisha Reiss, are both advocates for receiving the vaccine as soon as you are able.

Buchanan and Reiss stated that the vaccine will enable them to better protect their patients, their families and themselves — allowing them to continue to excel at the important work they do.

I remember when I first came, the blood drive was here four or five times a year. As the years progressed Dana would approach us and say we need another location, could you guys host us for an additional month?

We ended up hosting 12 months and we were fine with that. It’s a very good positive relationship with you folks, working with Dana the whole time,” Pastor Ron continued, adding, “when we came to the time when the pandemic was making

changes to the blood drive schedule and how you were functioning and operating, we kind of collaborated together and said, ‘Let’s try to make this work.’”

Pastor Sherck recognized the church-wide support for the blood drives, beginning with the church leadership and including custodian Curt Zerkel, who he called “the front line person who preps everything and is always here the day of the drive.”

The Arcanum Village Council met Tuesday evening for a brief meeting. They primarily discussed property devleopments with the building formerly known as “Sutton’s,” and how they plan to spend the remaining CARES Act funds.

Arcanum discusses ‘Sutton’s’, CARES Act funds

By Nathaniel Kubik DarkeCountyMedia.com

ARCANUM — The Arcanum Village Council met Tuesday evening for its final meeting of 2020.

During the administrative reports, Village Administrator Bill Kessler informed council that the property formerly known as “Sutton’s,” was put under contract by a property development company. He noted that this development is not set in stone yet, but that the future of the property looks promising. He estimated that it will take four to six months before there is a closing on the property.

“I can say, at this point in time, the prospect for bringing a grocery store back into town looks really good,” Kessler concluded.

Kessler also informed council that he had made his decision on the hiring of a new lineworker for the village. The council then passed a motion to hire the new employee effective Jan. 11, 2021.

Village Fiscal Officer Toni Stanley reported on CARES Act spending in the village, and how the village plans to use the rest of their funds. Stanley reported that the village has outstanding purchase orders for village maintenance in the amount of

approximately $68,000, that the village plans to use CARES Act funds for.

Stanley also noted that the village, as they have said for months, plans to use any leftover funds for the police and fire department payroll. The village has held off on spending on payroll until all of the village projects have been paid off.

To conclude the meeting, the village adopted ordinances amending village expenditures, and enacting the American Legal Publishing’s Ohio Basic Code for the 2021 year.

Congratulations to Hayden and thank you to Tooling Technology for this opportunity.

that may impact farm businesses, legal trends for 2021, legislative updates, farm business management and analysis updates, and farm succession and estate planning
