THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF THE GREAT DARKE COUNTY FAIR!

Fair board accepts $500,000 donation from Cargill RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – With an 8-2 vote, the Darke County Fair Board raised 20 percent of the proposed funding it will need to replace the Swine Barn and build a goat barn and dog barn. A special meeting was held Wednesday to discuss the new barn/ fundraising kickoff and the board agreed to accept a $500,000 donation from Cargill in exchange for lifetime naming rights of the building. The Agricultural Society’s legal counsel advised the board to wait until he had an opportunity read through the terms and conditions before accepting the proposal. Jerry Marker and Jim Zumbrink voted against accepting the grant.

While the majority of the board agreed to accept the donation, questions remained regarding the scope of the project. Marker and Zumbrink expressed an interest in moving the barn(s) to the south end of the fairgrounds to alleviate some of the congestion in the north end. Zumbrink

argued that erecting the new buildings close to the old buildings would put them in the situation they were in when the Swine Barn caught fire. Some of the other nearby buildings sustained damage, including the Beef & Dairy Pavilion that will need $50,000 in repairs.

Another option that was mentioned was to have one building that would house the swine, goats and sheep.

Moving the barns to south end or erecting one building was speculation by those in attendance as board member Richard Delk pointed out the board hasn’t decided what it is going to do. Board member Dave Singer urged board members to be united going forward.

However, the board may need to stick to the scope of the project they outlined in their request for the half-million dollar grant. The proposal to Cargill included the following: * Demolition of the existing Goat Barn, Dog Barn and FFA Building; * Construction of a 140’x200’x18’ (28,000 sq. ft.) metal framed Swine Barn and Community

Gettinger, Libert chosen to lead Greenville BOE SUSAN HARTLEY

GREENVILLE – Greenville Board of Education held its 2019 organizational meeting Thursday and unanimously selected Brad Gettinger to serve a second year as its president.

Mark Libert will serve as the board’s vice-president for 2019.

As its first order of business, board members elected to change their monthly meeting time from 7 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. the third Thursday of each month, beginning with the Feb. 21 meeting.

The board also held its regular January meeting on Thursday and approved a contract with Garmann Miller Architects and Engineers in the amount of $42,050 to provide design drawings for several athletic exterior projects at the K-8 facility. The contract includes designing fee, plan approvals, advertising, and printing fee as well as construction contingency.

The designs will include a baseball and a softball field as well as goals/goalposts for a soccer/football field. The additions will be used, Gettinger said primarily for junior high teams and physical education classes.

At its February meeting, the board will approve

the school calendar for the 2019-20 school year. Some discussion concerning the calendar was held after a classified employee in attendance Thursday spoke up stating she would like to see all district employees be able to give input and vote on the calendar.

Board member Fred Matix also spoke concerning the calendars, letting administrators and board members know he’d heard that an employee was telling other employees that one of the two calendars being considered had already been approved.

Superintendent Doug Fries shared how the district asks for input from building principals, who in turn may get input from their individual staff members, but that it was the board’s responsibility to actually vote and approve a yearly calendar during public session.

The two calendars being considered, Fries said, differ only by two days.

One gives the district an extra two days for Christmas break. Those two days would be added to the end of the school year.

Although having two extra days at the holidays would be preferred by most, Fries explained how it results in two less days for students to be in the classroom just prior to the end-of-semester testing.

Center of fully insulated construction, with complete HVAC service, and will also include a prep kitchen and restroom facility. This building will serve as a multi-use community. This facility would be available for business meetings, trade shows, weddings and receptions, and community events throughout the remainder of the year; * Construction of an 80’x240’x18’ (19,200 sq. ft.) metal framed Goat Barn in the location of the old Swine Barn; * Construction of a 72’x220’x14’ (15,840 sq. ft.) wood framed Dog Pavilion, which will be broken into 72’x90’ enclosed and concreted section,

with the remaining as a covered show arena.

Bids on the current scope of the project are expected on Feb. 1.

The proposal to Cargill estimated the cost of the project at $2.3 million. The board expects to receive approximately $1 million from the combination of the insurance settlement from the loss of the previous swine barn and public grants. The remaining $1.3 million will need to be raised through corporate, small business and individual donations from the community.

Prior to the meeting, a quorum of the board met behind closed doors in an unadvertised meeting.

One board member left the

meeting and called it an “illegal meeting.” The board of directors of an agricultural society is specifically listed in Ohio’s Sunshine Law as a public body that must adhere to its rules, including 24-hour notice of a special meeting. Board members not present for

the unadvertised meeting were Zumbrink, Thomas Shaw, Ed Erisman and Dave Niley. Niley was absent from the advertised special meeting.

Baumle to serve as Arcanum mayor SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

ARCANUM – Arcanum’s new mayor is vowing to maintain “a good line of communication between myself and council.”

On Tuesday, village council unanimously approved council member Gregory Baumle as president pro tem during its 2019 organizational meeting.

In turn, Baumle accepted the nomination, resigning his council seat to become the village’s new mayor.

Baumle will serve the remaining year of outgoing mayor Judith Foureman’s term, which will end Dec. 31 of this year.

Foureman submitted her resignation to council last month, originally to become effective Dec. 31, 2018.

After learning council president pro tem Vanessa Delk was not interested in serving as mayor, Foureman extended her resignation date to the end of Tuesday’s organizational meeting.

Baumle spoke with The Early Bird between council’s organizational and regularly scheduled meet-

ings on Tuesday.

He acknowledged there had been some issues between the former mayor and village council, but encourages Arcanum residents to move forward.

“We’re done,” Baumle said of recent issues.

“We’re turning the page.”

Baumle, who works as a battalion chief with the Huber Heights Fire Department, was appointed to council in May 2017, to fill a spot vacated by Julie Willis.

Baumle holds a master’s degree in public administration and has worked for both the cities of Dayton and Huber Heights for the past 19 years.

“It makes sense for me to take it,” he said, pointing out the mayor’s position requires a specific number of hours in the office, which his work schedule allows.

Baumle also admitted there had been “informal discussion” between village council members about his nomination to the position prior to the organizational meeting.

“It’s an exciting time for Arcanum right now,” Baumle said, naming for one the village’s new administration and police department facility, slated to be constructed this year on

Albright Street.

Baumle said one of his goals was to “move Arcanum into the digital age” as far as the village’s technology and communication options.

Baumle also said he had yet to decide if he would run for the mayor’s position, which will be on the ballot this coming November, but is considering this coming year as “a good trial run.”

During the regular meeting Tuesday, council formally accepted Foureman’s resignation. They also approved Bonnie Miller as 2019 council president. Miller was not present Tuesday, with council unanimously excusing her absence.

Those wishing to meet with the new mayor should

email him at gtbaumle@ villageofarcanum.com.

The village is now looking to fill Baumle’s council seat. An ad ran recently seeking a replacement for what council believed would be Delk’s seat – a one-year term. The village has received three applications and will be contacting those applicants to let them know of the change.

Council also will be seeking applications for a new fiscal officer and on Tuesday approved a pay range for that position between $40,000-$50,000, depending on skills and experience.

For more information, contact the village offices at 692-8500.

Wayne Baker chosen as fair’s parade marshal GREENVILLE – The Board of Directors of the Darke County Agricultural Society is pleased to announce that Wayne Baker has been selected to be the 2019 Great Darke County Fair Parade Marshal.

Throughout the 163-year history of the fair, so many people have put in countless hours to ensure the safety and enjoyment of each fair attendee. Many have worked behind the scenes.

This year’s parade marshal is one of these.

Wayne’s association with the fair began in 1964, working with Bill’s Electric helping with electrical maintenance. From there he went to watering down and conditioning the race track. Wayne remembers a fact unknown to many, that at one time there was a tunnel under the track where officials and others could walk to get to the other side.

Sometime in the late 1960’s, Grant Delaplane came to Wayne and told him he had an offer he

couldn’t refuse. Wayne then began the 45-year stint of spraying insecticides in the livestock buildings. Special sprays were utilized in some barns.

Wayne’s knowledge of the chemicals came from his experience working at Amoco Oil, Crop Mate, and Landmark. Much of the spraying was done prior to opening day. During the fair, Wayne was responsible for insect control throughout the fairgrounds. In recent years, the spraying was done us-

ing a vintage Allis Chalmers D15 tractor. The sprayer that Wayne utilized was previously owned by a Mr. Crawford, who had done the spraying before Wayne.

After relinquishing his job in 2018, the Agricultural Society purchased the sprayer. Wayne took pride in his job – knowing he was helping to make the fair more sanitary for the animals, exhibitors, and visitors.

An officer told Johnson to take his hand out of his pocket. He quickly brought his hand to his mouth, attempting to swallow something. For Johnson’s safety, the officer took him to the ground to keep him from ingesting the item. Another officer pulled out his Taser and Johnson stopped struggling. No contraband was found. He was transported to Wayne HealthCare. Adult parole was contacted and they issued a hold on Johnson. Once he was medically cleared from Wayne, officers placed him under arrest and he was transported to the Darke County Jail. Johnson was issued a citation for disorderly conduct.

DRUGS

On Jan. 6 an officer was called to the Sunoco station on Martin Street on a possible overdose. The caller said a female was sitting in a vehicle and had her hands stuck in her hair. She was unresponsive. Upon arrival, officers located the vehicle parked on the east side of the building facing west. As they approached, officers noticed the vehicle was starting to pull out of the parking space. When the driver, Lindsey O’Neal saw the officers she got out of the vehicle and told them she just had a headache, but according to the report she seemed to be in an excited state of mind. When asked, O’Neal told officers she did not take anything. Officers asked if they could conduct a search of the vehicle. O’Neal would not give permission because she said the vehicle was not hers. She also said she didn’t know if there was

Review Your Fixed-income Strategy as Interest Rates Rise

When interest rates rise, the value of your fixed-income investments, such as bonds, will typically fall. If this happens, how should you respond?

First of all, it’s important to understand this inverse correlation between interest rates and bond prices. Essentially, when interest rates rise, investors won’t pay you full price for your bonds because they can purchase newly issued ones that pay higher rates. So, if you sell your bonds before they mature, you could lose some of the principal value.

You may be seeing a price drop among your bonds right now, because interest rates generally rose in 2018 and may continue to do so in 2019. While you might not like this decline, you don’t necessarily have to take any action, particularly if you’re planning to hold these bonds until maturity. Of course, you do have to consider credit risk – the chance that a portion of the principal and interest will not be paid back to investors – but unless the bond issuers default, which is usually unlikely, particularly with investment-grade bonds, you can expect to receive the same regular interest payments you always did, no matter where rates move.

Holding some of your bonds – particularly your longer-term ones – until they mature may prove useful during a period of rising interest rates. Although long-term bond prices – the amount you could get if you were to sell these bonds – tend to fall more significantly than shortterm bond prices, the actual income that longer-term bonds provide may still be higher, because longer-term bonds typically pay higher interest rates than shorter-term ones.

To preserve this income and still take advantage of rising interest

rates, you may want to construct a “bond ladder” consisting of short-, intermediate- and longer-term bonds.

Because a ladder contains bonds with staggered maturity dates, some are maturing and can be reinvested – and in a rising-rate environment such as we’re currently experiencing, you would be replacing maturing bonds with higheryielding ones. As is the case with all your investments, however, you must evaluate whether a bond ladder and the securities held within it are consistent with your objectives, risk tolerance and financial circumstances.

You can build a bond ladder with individual bonds, but you might find it easier, and perhaps more affordable, to own bondbased mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that invest in bonds. Many bond funds and ETFs own a portfolio of bonds of various maturities, so they’re already diversified.

Building a bond ladder can help you navigate the rising-rate environment. But you also have another incentive to continue investing in bonds, bond funds or ETFs – namely, they can help diversify a stock-heavy portfolio. If you only owned stocks, your investment statements would probably fluctuate greatly – it’s no secret that the stock market can go on some wild rides. But even in the face of escalating interest rates, bond prices generally don’t exhibit the same sharp swings as stocks, so owning an appropriate percentage of bonds based on your personal circumstances can help add some stability to your investment mix.

As an investor, you do need to be aware of rising interest rates, but as we’ve seen, they certainly don’t mean that you should lose your interest in bonds as a valuable part of your investment strategy.

anything illegal inside the vehicle. One of the officers observed a film canister behind the driver’s seat of the vehicle. Officers checked and found the contents resembled meth. The sheriff’s office canine deputy was called to the scene. O’Neal was advised the container had been found and the canine unit was on its way. She told officers a male was in the car the night before and the canister was possibly his.

O’Neal admitted to using meth the week of Christmas and smoking pot a few days earlier. The sheriff’s deputy arrived and deployed the canine, which gave a positive indication for the presence of an odor of narcotics at the driver’s door. O’Neal said there were no narcotics or needles that she was aware of inside the car. After conducting a search of the vehicle, no other contraband was located. Officers transported O’Neal to her residence and the film canister to the police department. A small sample of the canister’s contents tested positive for meth. Samples also were sent to BCI for testing and charges are pending lab results.

UNRULY JUVENILE

On Jan. 1 at 1:54 a.m., an officer saw a 17-year-old male juvenile he recognized walking with four subjects on Front Street. The officer stopped all the subjects, realizing all were juveniles.

The 17-year-old male had been cited for curfew violations on four previous occasions. He also received a citation for the Jan. 1 incident. Three of the juveniles are currently on probation, so Greenville PD notified their probation officers. The juveniles were released to family members.

DUI

On Jan. 5 an officer ob-

served a vehicle being operated without a rear license plate light on West Main at Elm Street. A traffic stop was conducted and the driver of the vehicle was identified as Brandon Mills. While speaking with Mills, the officer smelled a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage and noticed he had bloodshot eyes. Mills admitted to having just left Danny’s Bar, where he said he had two beers. The officer asked Mills to step out of the vehicle to perform standardized sobriety tests. He agreed and performed poorly on the tests. Mills was placed under arrest for operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol. He was transported to the GPD, where he agreed to take a breath test and was placed under an administrative license suspension. He was charged with operating a vehicle under the influence and was released to a friend.

WANTED PERSON

On Jan. 6 officers were checking a residence in the 5400 block of State Route 49 for a subject who was known to have an outstand-

ing warrant. Officers were aware the subject may have recently been inside a vehicle parked in the driveway.

An officer knocked on the door of a residence and saw subject Bradley Hummel through a window. Hummel opened the door and an officer made entry into the residence to make an arrest. Hummel had a warrant through the GPD for a charge of criminal damaging and must serve 89 days with no bond. Hummel’s identification was confirmed and he was transported to the Darke County Jail.

Businesses support signage amendment

BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville’s downtown businesses may soon have another tool to attract customers if council approves a zoning amendment recommendation. Main Street Greenville (MSG) with the support of downtown businesses asked for an amendment to the sign regulation to allow for pedestrian signs to be erected in the Downtown Enterprise and Architectural Review Overlay District. On Tuesday, council chambers were ďŹ lled with representatives from downtown businesses who were there to show support for the amendment.

The pedestrian signs would be commissioned by the building or business owner, at no cost to the city, and would be visible to pedestrians walking on the sidewalks. The signs would be 8- to 10-feet above the sidewalk and would be no more than 5-square feet in size.

Crysta Bloomingdale, executive director of MSG, said, “We feel that including the pedestrian signs in the downtown enterprise district is beneďŹ cial for businesses, particularly when we get visitors that come through that may not know where our staple stores are.

Pedestrian signs do allow for businesses to attract shoppers and restaurants to attract people to come in and eat.�

Bloomingdale pointed out this issue has come be-

fore council previously and concerns were expressed. “We did work with city administration, safety service director, to make some amendments to the language of the zoning text that would make it more speciďŹ c for size limits, height requirement and number of signs per building. We’ve really tried to make it as speciďŹ c as possible in order to protect the historicity of our downtown while serving our businesses.â€?

Kirsten Berghoff, owner of Sadie Grace Boutique, believes there is a need for the signs and quoted a 10 percent sales growth for businesses with “those small, little signs.â€? Amber Garrett, co-owner of the Coffee Pot, said, “Anything we can add to be a tool for our small businesses that are locally owned and operated – it is a walkable district, that’s one of the beneďŹ ts of our downtown district.â€?

Chad Henry, planning & zoning director, explained the current sign ordinance remains in place, but the amendment allows for pedestrian signs. Businesses wanting a sign would be required to submit plans to the Architectural Review Board to get a certiďŹ cate of appropriateness, which is needed to get a sign permit from the city. “The legislation is written pretty tight,â€? he said. “Nothing is to be lower than 8-feet that matches Ohio Revised Code - and nothing is to be higher than 10-feet. We also put in legislation where

Medicare scam hits local residents DARKE COUNTY – Residents in Darke County have reported getting a phone call from someone saying they are with Medicare and want to send out a new card, but need information. Local residents should know this is a scam.

According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Consumer Information department, scammers pay attention to the news and know Medicare is sending new cards to everyone who gets Medicare beneďŹ ts. The cars replace your Social Security number with another number. The scammers may ask you to verify your information or claim there’s a fee for the new card, which there isn’t.

Locally, scammers tell the Medicare recipient they want to send out a new plastic card, but need their Medicare number. There are no legitimate plastic cards for Medicare. The cards are paper.

You can avoid these scams by remembering

these tips from the FTC: * Don’t give personal information to get your new Medicare card. If someone calls claiming to be from Medicare, asking for your Social Security number, bank information, or other information to get your new card, that’s a scam.

Hang up. Medicare will never ask you to give personal information to get your new Medicare number and card. * Don’t pay for your new card. It’s yours for free. If anyone calls and says you need to pay for it, that’s a scam. Hang up.

If you’ve already given out your bank account information over the phone, talk to your bank immediately. You’ll want to deal with any unauthorized activity on your account as soon as possible.

For more information about the new Medicare cards, go to go.medicare. gov/newcard.

And if you’re a victim of a scam, report it to the FTC.

County receives ďŹ rst insurance payout for swine barn

BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – Darke County Commission on Monday accepted an insurance check in the amount of $93,566.15 – one of several payments expected as a result of the loss of the swine barn at the Darke County Fairgrounds.

The ďŹ re, which completely destroyed the swine barn in October, also damaged fencing and a couple other buildings on the fairgrounds.

According to Commissioner Mike Stegall, the amount approved Monday will cover demolition of the site as well as fencing destroyed by the ďŹ re.

An insurance check for

approximately $750,000 to help cover the cost of a new swine barn, also is expected, commissioners say.

The fair board is expected to accept bids on a new swine barn in early February.

Also on Monday: * Commissioners approved a vehicle maintenance agreement between the county and the city of Greenville.

The agreement allows county garage personnel to provide preventive and mechanical maintenance, repairs and general service of the city’s police vehicles. * Commissioners heard a report from Sam Custer, Darke County Extension Educator concerning local agriculture programs.

Greenville Lady Wave overpowers West Carrollton

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

WEST CARROLLTON – The Greenville Lady Wave took advantage of a strong Wednesday night second half to earn 46-29 road win over the West Carrollton Lady Pirates.

“The most proud that I am of the girls is; we didn’t shoot the ball very well in the first half and still went in with an eight point halftime lead,” said Greenville coach Rachel Kerns. “For us not to be able to shoot well and still find a way to lead, it says a lot of where we’ve come from.”

The Lady Wave took the opening period with Jada Garland sinking two 3-pointers good for 6-points and six Haleigh Mayo points by way of three baskets to give the Greenville a 12-10 lead after one period of play.

After a devastating injury and lengthy rehabilitation, Morgan Gilbert, the Lady Wave’s 20172018 leading scorer and

assist leader made her first appearance of the 20182019 season minutes into the opening period.

“Just the energy, the confidence that everybody has just because she is out here,” Coach Kerns noted of Gilbert’s return to the lineup. “She is feisty and quick. She does so many great things for us but the biggest aspect about having her back is just the confidence everybody else has now.”

“Unfortunately for Morgan, it was game number one and there were a lot of game number one things,” Kerns added.

“Still working to get more confident that she is physically ok to go.”

Gilbert got on the board with her first bucket of the season at 3:58 in the second with a driving layup to the hoop.

Mayo led Greenville in second period scoring knocking down two 3-pointers with the Lady Wave taking the period 12-6 before the teams headed to the break with

GHS holding 24-16 advantage.

“Jada (Garland) hit back-to-back threes in the first and Mayo come in and hit back-to-back threes in the second,” noted Kerns.

The Lady Wave put the game away in the third outscoring the home team 16-3 to take a 40-19 lead to the final period of play.

“I told the girls everything was great in the first half,” Kerns said. “We executed defensively fine, gave up a few transition baskets and the looks we were getting were awesome in the first half. At the end of the game, the third quarter we hit our shots – the first and second quarter we didn’t.”

Greenville got balanced third quarter scoring with Mayo, Lani Shilt and Saki Nakamura each knocking down a pair of baskets and Natea Davidson and Koryann Elliott each adding a bucket.

The Lady Pirates took the final period 10-6 while Coach Kerns cleared her

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

NEW MADISON – The Tri-Village Lady Patriots hung on for a 45-41 win over the visiting Preble Shawnee Lady Arrows taking advantage of 10-10 at the line while Shawnee was hitting 6-11 at the stripe for the four point difference in the final score.

A slow start had the Lady Patriots trailing 7-0 with 5:05 in the opening period before battling back to close out first quarter play trailing by a 10-6 score.

The Lady Patriots bounced back in Period No. 2 outscoring the visitors 16-4 sending the teams to the break with Tri-Village holding a 21-14 advantage.

Emma Printz knocked down two 3-pointers, Maddie Downing added a basket and went 3-3 at the line and Lissa Siler ac-

counted for two field goals to lead TV in second quarter scoring.

The Lady Patriots extended their lead to 37-25 after three periods of play with Siler drilling two triples, Andi Bietry knocking down a 3-pointer, Printz a bucket and free throw, Maddie and Meghan Downing each adding a basket to account for the 16 third quarter points.

The Lady Arrows battled back in the fourth cutting the Tri-Village lead to 43-41 with 1:46 showing on the game clock. Emma Printz stepped to the line with seconds left in the game to sink back-to-back free throws to seal the four point Tri-Village win.

Siler led the Lady Patriots with a game high 12-points while Maddie Downing (5-5), Printz (3-3) and Andi Bietry (2-2) made it a perfect night at

bench giving valuable varsity experience to her younger players.

“With the addition of Morgan (Gilbert), I get to bring Mayo out a little bit,” Coach Kerns said. “We are just a better shooting team but it always helps when you hit a few shots, especially 4-threes in the first half.”

Haleigh Mayo led Greenville and all scorers with a game high 18points.

Franklin Monroe Lady Jets win big over Tri-County North

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

PITSBURG – The Franklin Monroe Lady Jets defeated the visiting Tri-County North Lady Panthers 70-23 in a Thursday night CCC match-up.

“It was one of those grit it out team efforts again,” said FM coach Abbey Moore. “It seemed like at times when someone was struggling on the offensive end their teammates picked it up and then they came down and gave a great effort on the defensive end.”

“That’s was Belle’s (Cable) story of the night tonight,” Moore added.

“Some of her shots weren’t falling but she was giving her all on the other end and that made up for that effort.”

FM grabbed a 19-6 lead after one period of play with Stella Shellabarger scoring 7-points including a 3-pointer and two baskets each from Corina Conley, Kennedy Morris and Chloe McGlinch.

The Lady Jets put 26 second quarter points on the board while holding

the visitors to six points.

Conley led the period with 9-points including a triple, Belle Cable hit for 6-points, Skylar Bauman 4-points including 2-2 at the line, Chloe Peters 3-points and Morris and Shellabarger each with two points sending the teams to the break with FM holding a 45-12 advantage.

“It’s about the fundamentals and doing things the right way, executing our offense and sitting down on defense,” said Moore. “At times tonight we didn’t do that. We were a little too aggressive on the defensive end and we didn’t make that adjustment. Going forward I think we’ll make that adjustment.”

The Franklin Monroe girls took the third period 14-4 and the closing quarter 11-7 to earn the 47point victory.

With the team heading into the second half of the season, Coach Moore is pleased with her team’s play at this points in the season.

“I think we are going in the right direction and we’ve been able to rebound

Conley led Franklin Monroe and all scorers with a game high 22points.

Arcanum Trojans gets 2-point win over Ansonia GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

ARCANUM – The Arcanum Trojans and the Ansonia Tigers battled to the final buzzer to settle the outcome of the Tuesday night Cross County Conference game with the Trojans defeating the visiting Tigers 40-38 to stay undefeated at home on the season.

“The kids battled hard,” said Arcanum coach Jim Melton. “That was tough one. Ansonia is a nice ball club – well coached.”

“We expected this,” Tigers coach Devin Limburg stated. “Arcanum is a good team, they are well coached and they have some really good weapons.”

Arcanum took the opening period 12-9 led by a pair of Evan Atchley 3-pointers, Hunter Muir put 6-points on the first quarter board for Ansonia, knocking down three field goals.

The Trojans held a 2113 lead with just seconds remaining on the second quarter clock before Reece Stammen hit a last

second Ansonia basket to send the teams to the break with Arcanum taking Period No. 2 by a 9-6 score with Wade Meeks scoring 4-points and Stammen accounting for 4-Ansonia points.

“We let them drive to the basket right there before the end of the first half,” said Melton. “We had them 21-13 until the end.”

Ansonia battle back in the third to take the quarter 12-8, cutting the Trojans’ lead to 2-points with the teams heading to the final period of play

Versailles tops Franklin Monroe in non-conference play

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

VERSAILLES – The Versailles Tigers defeated the Franklin Monroe Jets 63-39 in a Saturday night non-conference game.

“Our defense came to play,” said Versailles coach Travis Swank. “Held another team under 40 here tonight – was the goal. We are working as a team right now.”

Versailles took a 13-10 lead after one period of play led by Evan Hiestand with 6-points and five Ryan Martin points including a 3-pointer. Ethan Conley score 6-points for FM including a triple.

Period No. 2 went to the Tigers 17-7 with Michael Stammen leading the way with 6-points sending the teams to the break with Versailles holding a 30-17 advantage.

“I thought our kids really responded in the first half,” Swank stated. “A lot adversity with a lot of foul problems which we haven’t had all year. Had a lot of kids step up to the plate and did their job which they are asked to do in practice. They did their job here tonight.”

The Tigers took advantage of 11 Hiestand points to push their lead to 52-25 after three periods of play adding 22 points to the board while holding FM to eight points, all coming from the Jets’ Conley.

“He was a beast tonight,” Swank said of 6’2” Versailles senior forward, Evan Hiestand. “A lot of good things happen because we are willing to share the ball. He was on the end of a lot of good passes from a lot of guys as

come up and help.

Their ‘bigs’ are really skilled and good enough to go up and catch the ball and finish.”

“If we could play with a lead and spread them out – we’re pretty good when we have a lot of space to operate in,” Melton noted.

“Our guards are pretty good at dribbling off the attack with some space.

We spread some people out it makes it tough to guard.”

The difference on the night came at the free throw line with Arcanum shooting Arcanum freshman Jake Goubeaux brings the ball up-court for the Trojans in win over Ansonia. (Gaylen 7-of-10 at the Blosser photo) charity stipe while Ansonia connected Meeks 10, C. Gray 9, J. on 4-of-10 at the line.

with Arcanum holding a 29-27 advantage.

Hunter Buckingham drilled a 3-pointer at 7:48 to open fourth quarter scoring giving Ansonia a 30-29 advantage only to have Carter Gray drill a triple at 6:57 to put Arcanum back on top by a 3230 score.

“We adjusted at halftime and tried to keep the ball out of the paint as much as possible,” Coach Melton said. “I think we did a nice job on Buckingham. He’s a nice shooter, nice player and he only got two threes…a nice job on him.”

A Hunter Muir free throw with 0:52.7 showing knotted the score at 38-38 bringing a timeout from the Trojans bench.

Arcanum freshman guard Jake Goubeaux weaved his way through the lane to lay-in a layup with seconds remaining giving the Trojans a 4038 lead in what would be the final score with Ansonia turning the ball over with 3.8 seconds remaining in the game.

“Those guards (Meeks and Goubeaux) are really good,” said Limburg.

“They’re quick and they are so skilled with the ball. When they get that half step on you it’s so hard to recover and that throws our post off because they are forced to

Great offensive player, but we wanted to really make him work here tonight.”

Saturday night marked the halfway point in the season for the Tigers.

“We’ve grown but we still have a lot of growing up still left to do,” said Swank. “With our inexperience at the beginning of the year, I think our gap was kind of wide but these guys have really bought in and have shortened that gap by a lot.”

WEST CARROLLTON – The Greenville Lady Wave JV basketball team defeated the West Carrollton Lady Pirates 32-23 in a Wednesday night road game.

“It wasn’t necessarily the prettiest but they always say that good teams find a way to win no matter the situation or the circumstances,” said Greenville JV coach Laura Swigart. “I truly believe we are a pretty good team and we did what we had to do to find a win tonight.”

The Lady Wave took the opening period 8-4 with Emalee Bowling, Layne Claudy, Libby McKinney and Abbie Yoder each hitting a field goal for a balanced first quarter.

Period No. 2 went to West Carrollton by a 6-5 score sending the teams to the break with the Greenville Junior Varsity squad holding a 13-10 lead. Grace Shaffer nailed a 3-pointer and Yoder added a bucket for the Lady Wave in the second.

“We were still on the bus the first half for sure,” Swigart noted. “Not necessarily bad offense, we got some looks and didn’t finish some underneath. De-

fensively we only gave up 10-points so it’s not like we played bad defensively – we just didn’t have the spark to go.”

The Greenville girls battled back in third period play taking advantage of five McKinney points including a triple, Shaffer’s second trey of the night, a Taylor Yates bucket and a Yoder free throw with the Lady Wave taking the period 11-8 to lead 24-18 heading to the final period.

“The second half kind of started like the first half,” Swigart said. “It just helped that we knocked down a few shots in our offense. That separated the score a little bit.”

Greenville added to its lead in fourth quarter play, taking the final period 8-5 to earn the GWOC victory.

“That was a pretty good team win,” stated Swigart.

“Libby McKinney made a few shots for us that helped – but that was pretty much just a team win.”

McKinney led the Lady Wave with 9-points.

of apples that were being used in the recipe.

They then put the apples in a Crockpot.

“We ended up using about 20 pounds of apples and made close to six quarts of applesauce,” she said. “The kids loved eating it. We only added a bit of water when cooking it.

After mashing the apples, we did a quality check.

The students decided that it did not need any sugar added to it. A few students did add some cinnamon but no one added any sugar. We ate the applesauce warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.”

We can help you remain in your home safely!

The project, she said, was shared with others.

“We did this with very positive comments back,” she said.

Molly Hunt

Hunt to be inducted into 4-H Teen HOF LINDA MOODY

CORRESPONDENT

GREENVILLE – Molly Hunt, a 2017 graduate of Greenville High School, has been selected as one of the 2019 Ohio 4-H Teen Hall of Fame inductees.

“Shocked and humbled are just two feelings of many,” said Hunt on social media after she learned about the honor. “Completely jazzed to join friends and mentors into this incredibly elite group. I can’t wait to get inducted in March!

Darke County Proud!”

The Ohio State University student was nominated

by Extension Educator, 4-H Youth Development, in Darke County Rhonda Williams, and selected by Ohio 4-H Extension Professionals.

“I was very pleasantly surprised to find out I was being inducted,” Hunt said.

“It is incredibly humbling to know I have made an impact in the 4-H community that has given me so much love and support and I am incredibly thankful to my family, friends, mentors especially Rhonda Williams, Theresa Ferrari, and Kayla Oberstadt (and many others). Without them, nothing I have achieved could have been possible. I am proud to bleed green and represent Darke County with this prestigious honor.”

Hunt, an earth science major with focus in geological sciences, paleontology, and Antarctic polar science with a minor in archeological anthropology, now lives in Columbus.

The daughter of Brian and Teresa (Luce) Hunt of Greenville has been an active member of The OSU community for the past two years, and “truly loves going to school here.”

“While I am no longer a 4-H member as I aged out as of Jan. 1, I have remained involved,” she said.

“I recently published ‘Geology Can You Dig It?’ a selflearning project book for Ohio 4-H (first 4-H member ever to write a project book in the state of Ohio). I

served on the Teen Leadership Council last year, also on the National 4-H Youth Summit Series Design Team for the past two years, I was named the 2018 Ohio 4-H Teen of the Year, and National 4-H Youth in Action honorable mention.

In 2018, I was named Ohio 4-H Achievement Winner for Personal Development and was able to attend National 4-H Conference and National 4-H Congress.”

Over the summer, she said she was a camp counselor at 4-H special needs camp.

“I also was the Georgia 4-H liaison for Ohio 4-H, working with their state officers for the sharing of ideas and information,” she added. “I am the current Collegiate 4-H National Conference co-chair, and member at-large. I work part-time for the State 4-H office as a research assistant focusing in healthy living. I write a monthly column in the Early Bird about 4-H.” Hunt said outside of 4-H involvement, she spends her spare time researching historic fossils as a student researcher for the School of Earth Sciences, a member of Sigma Gamma Epsilon National Geological Honorary, American Institute of Professional Geologists student chapter, Guiding Eyes for the Blind dog trainer, and Alpha Sigma Upsilon SHARP Chapter the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C., agricultural sorority philanthropy chair, and OSU Department of Dance student assistant.

I have served as an intern for Congressman Davidson, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and OSU Extension. I have also been a recipient of several scholarships in the past two years.”

She plans on earning a Ph.D. in paleontology and eventually being a research paleontologist at a major U.S museum the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C. “I have wanted to be a scientist since I was 5 years old,” she said.

She’s living her dream.

Council plans special meeting GREENVILLE – Greenville City Council will hold a special meeting Jan. 24, 6 p.m., in the Council Room, Municipal Building, to rise to a Committee of the Whole to review 2019 Appropriations. No action will be taken at this meeting.

A public hearing will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 19, 7:30 p.m., in the Council

Room, regarding a zoning amendment recommendation to rezone approximately 12-acres fronting Sweitzer Street, known as Wayne HealthCare from NB (Neighborhood Business) and UR (Urban Residential) to SU (Special Use) for healthcare. The zoning amendment was requested

by Wayne HealthCare.

GREENVILLE – With a deadline of Feb. 6 to file to run for election, candidates are beginning to come forward for the different positions that will be available in the 2019 election cycle.

Lt. Col. Jesse J. Green (U.S. Army – retired) announced this week he is seeking the position of law director for the City of Greenville.

Green is an experienced attorney and assistant prosecutor with 25-years of service to the Darke County Prosecutor’s Office, as well as 34 1/2 years in the military.

Originally a U.S. Marine, Green joined the U.S. Army when he left active duty in 1993. He served humanitarian relief efforts in Nicaragua in May 1999 following Hurricane Mitch and in Mississippi following Hurricane Katrina. In April 2008, Green began a oneyear tour of duty in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom

where he served as the Brigade Command Judge Advocate for the 371st Sustainment Brigade at Al Asad Air Base in Al Anbar Province, Republic of Iraq. He was the senior legal advisor for the western portion of Iraq.

The highly decorated serviceman earned a Bronze Star for his work during that tour. He retired from the U.S. Army in April 2017.

With Greenville City Council authorizing the pay for the Law Director’s office to increase to $95,000, Green said he would consider this a full-time position and has asked for an office in the city building, if elected. “I’ll be there 40-hours a week or more. I think there’s a need for that,” Green said.

He also revealed that by statue, the city’s law director also serves as counsel for the local school district. He pointed out the city’s law director has been considered a part-time position in the past and the school district would spend the money to hire outside counsel.

“That’s a waste of money in

Jesse J. Green

my mind,” he said.

Green believes his experience in the Darke County Prosecutor’s Office lends itself well to transitioning to serving in city government.

“We’re such a small office; we have to do a little bit of everything. We’ve been a jack-of-all-trades for a long time,” he said.

Green said he discussed the possibility of running for the position with his wife and felt now was the right time. Eric Brand, current law director, has expressed that he would not run again. “Now that he is

stepping down it creates an opportunity. I feel that it is a calling. It’s something new.

It’s a challenge. And I feel that I am more than qualified to fill the obligations of that office.”

He does believe there is a need to keep the assistant law director’s position and has discussed the issue with the current assistant law director and Green doesn’t foresee a change.

Green earned his Juris Doctor degree from the University of Dayton School of Law and his Bachelor’s Degree from the Honors College at Ball State University. He is admitted to practice law in Ohio, Court of Criminal Appeals for the Armed Forces, U.S. Tax Court, U.S. Supreme Court, U.S. Court of International Trade, U.S. Court of Federal Claims, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims and U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio.

ACES moves from city to country setting SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – The former Darke County Home has found another new tenant.

The county’s ACES program – Achievement Center for Academic Success – started the new year off in the north wing of the facility, which also houses the county’s Michaels Group Home.

“It seemed like a natural fit, with the Michael’s Home taking up residence in the county home last fall,” said

Jeff Vaughn, ACES manager for programs in Darke and Miami counties.

ACES serves high school students in grades 9-12 who are credit deficient or who are looking for an alternative learning environment. The Michaels Home serves male youth ages 12-17 through Children’s Services.

The ACES program is part of Gateway Youth Programs and is a collaborative effort between Council on Rural Services and the Darke County Education Service Center.

Locals celebrate King of Rock & Roll’s birthday LINDA MOODY

CORRESPONDENT

GREENVILLE – Elvis Presley was in the building at the VFW in Greenville on Monday afternoon.

Yes, the (late) King of Rock and Roll was memorialized on what would have been his 84th birthday the following day at the weekly gathering of the Memory Lane Monday Dance at the VFW. Tom Everhart, who provides the music at most of these gatherings and an enthusiast of rock and roll, said a side entrance near the front door of the hall was closed off until the “king” (Bill Drew) made his appearance at the beginning of the afternoon event.

“At that moment, I played the Space Odyssey (Elvis’s opening number) when he walked out,” Everhart said. “Then, he sang six of Elvis’ songs, starting with Teddy Bear.”

All the while, Elvis was throwing out scarves to those in the audience.

“After he got done singing, I played some more Elvis tunes and then I went

to my regular music like I usually do,” Everhart said.

“We had 58 in attendance.

It was really a lot of fun.”

He said Drew also appeared at last year’s dance in honor of Elvis’ birthday and impersonated the popular singer, who was one of rock’s music’s dominant performers from the mid1950s until his death.

Elvis Aron Presley was born Jan. 8, 1935, in Tupelo, Miss., and died Aug. 16, 1977, in Memphis, Tenn.

Upcoming themeddances Everhart hosts weekly will include the Valentine’s Dance on Feb. 11 from 1 to 3:30 p.m.

Miami, Preble and Mercer counties attend ACES, Vaughn said.

“The Michaels Home being connected is a good thing,” Vaughn said, explaining how currently there are three students from the group home currently enrolled in ACES. Vaughn said ACES staff had been looking for an alternative to their former location on East Third Street in downtown Greenville, but purchasing a building “was not financially feasible.”

Upon hearing county commissioners were working with Michaels Home to take up residence in the former county home, Vaughn said he approached the group home director Scott Lind.

“I asked what the likelihood was of ACES moving into the county home.

The timing was right,” he said. Although the facility is owned by the county, Vaughn said the ACES agreement is with Michael’s Group Home.

ACES being located in the same facility will offer Michaels Home the opportunity to market “an educational component” as they work with juveniles and

their families who are considering the facility.

The new location offers ACES students additional classroom space as well as room for tutoring, physical education classes, including a new yoga class.

Students may study independently or in a traditional class setting for specific subjects like math for example.

The students remain enrolled in their home school and participate in graduation exercises with their school.

This year, Vaughn said, ACES will assist with approximately 60 students working to earn high school credits, with 25 on target to graduate in May. A couple of the home’s former residential rooms have been renovated to make workable classroom space and rooms were given a coat of paint, Vaughn said.

“We’re super excited to be out here. The space is more conducive for both the kids and the staff. And from the public’s perspective, it’s a win-win,” Vaughn said of the former county home, which was closed by county commissioners in late 2017.

Edison State Campus at Eaton ribbon cutting EATON – Edison State Community College President Dr. Doreen Larson invites community members and supporters to help commemorate the opening of the Edison State Campus at Eaton with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 450 Washington Jackson Road.
