City says school speed zone signs do more than ashers GREENVILLE – According to Curt Garrison, safety service director for the city of Greenville, the decision to use 20mph speed zone signs instead of ashing lights was not taken lightly. The signs on State Route 121, Ohio Street and other connecting streets within the school zone state 20mph When Children are Present. The recommendation for the signs came from the city’s trafďŹ c engineer who pointed out the ashing yellow lights does little to demonstrate when the speed zone is enforced. * The Ohio Revised Code (ORC 4511.21) states
that vehicles shall be operated in a school zone at a speed of “Twenty miles per hour in school zones during school recess and while children are going to or leaving school during the opening or closing hours, and when twenty miles per hour school speed limit signs are erected...â€? * School ashers, when installed, are typically active ďŹ ve days a week (Monday to Friday) during the restricted hours when students are going to and leaving school. * During weather delayed school days, the ashers are not ashing when students actually arrive.

GREENVILLE – Jeremy Eshbaugh, a senior at Greenville High School, has been nominated by Paolo DeMaria, state superintendent of public schools for Ohio, for the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program. One of 20 Ohio students to earn the honor this school year, Eshbaugh is the ďŹ rst Greenville High School student to be nominated, says Principal Jeff Cassell. “It’s quite the honor for Greenville,â€? Cassell said. On Jan. 12, Superintendent Doug Fries included Eshbaugh’s nomination during his superindentent’s report. “Jeremy is one of 20 students who were nominated because of the involvement and service in our school and community based on his leadership, character and academic achievements. We are proud to have you as a student in our district, Jeremy,â€? Fries said. Final selection is still to be announced, Eshbaugh said this week. Nationwide, 161 students are named to the program. An engineering student at GHS, Eshbaugh has applied to four universities to study nuclear engineering – Harvard, MIT, Georgia Tech and the University of Michigan. He’s received acceptance letters from Georgia and Michigan and has been put on the wait list for Harvard and MIT. “I’ll have to wait two more months to hear from them,â€? Eshbaugh said. At GHS, Eshbaugh is active in student leadership, serving as president of both the National Honor Society and the National Technical Honor Society;. He is also vice president of the Engineering Club, president of the science club, is a calculus aide and
* During early dismissal school days, the ashers are not ashing when students actually leave. * During weather closing school days, the ashers are ashing when they should not be. * School ashers are not required per the Ohio Revised Code or the Ohio Manual of Uniform TrafďŹ c Control Devices. Garrison said, “It is our opinion, that in most cases, drivers are not explicitly aware of the conditions outlined in the ORC that require them to drive 20mph. The situation we are most concerned with is when children are present. We feel the typical driver does not believe he or she is required to reduce their speed to 20mph when the ashers are not operational simply because drivers are conditioned to slow down only when the ashers are operational. While it is a driver’s legal responsibility to know when they are supposed to drive 20mph in a school zone, most drivers will not slow down if there are ashers present that are not ash-

ing.â€? The city believes it can be a dangerous situation for school children when drivers have been conditioned to slow only during the active operation of school ashers, particularly during weather related school delays or dismissals. While some plaques typically list the school arrival and dismissal times or say “during restricted
hours,â€? the city believes the term “When Children are Presentâ€? better represents when drivers should slow down. The city feels the signage is adequate and provides the safest condition for pedestrians traveling to and from the school; no matter the time of day. Garrison added, “Obviously, the trafďŹ c pattern in and around the school is
new and motorist and pedestrians need to be aware of the new conditions. The concerns received by the city focus on the speed of motorist within the school zone, not the visibility of trafďŹ c control signs or location of the speed zone.â€? He said the city will be vigilant and present to enforce the posted school zone and assist motorist in adjusting their driving behavior.

has wrestled for four years, earning an unknown number of pins for his varsity jacket. He wrestles yearround, for Greenville as well as a club coached by Mike DeHart of Covington. Eshbaugh, an Eagle Scout, also is a member of the Dayton Area Mensa – for which he tested about three years ago – and is the commanding ofďŹ cer of the Greenville NJROTC, in charge of about 90 cadets. On being nominated for the U.S. Presidential Scholars program, Eshbaugh said “I had no idea what it was at ďŹ rst, but after researching I realized what an honor it was. My dream school is MIT, the cradle of engineering. This will be another way to showcase myself and to give myself an opportunity the average person wouldn’t have.â€? Eshbaugh’s next step is to complete the ďŹ nal program application – and wait to hear if he’s one of the 161 students across the nation to receive the honor. According to a letter from DeMaria, the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program is one of the nation’s highest honors for high school students. It was established in 1964 by executive order of the U.S. president to recognize and honor some of the nation’s most distinguished graduating high school seniors.

GREENVILLE – About 125 concerned residents attended a public meeting Tuesday at Memorial Hall to offer input concerning the U.S. 127 and Kruckeberg Road intersection – the site of three fatal accidents since 2012. The Ohio Department of Transportation hosted the meeting, which included a brief overview of possible solutions, listening to the public and an informal ‘open house’ session to allow attendees the opportunity to view conceptual drawings and speak oneon-one with ODOT representatives. The meeting was part of ODOT’s current safety study of the intersection. Data being considered includes the past four years, during which 45 crashes have occurred, resulting in three fatalities. The last fatality, which took the life of a teen driver in August 2016, prompted a petition leading to ODOT’s safety study. The petition organizer, Stacy Peters was in attendance Tuesday and thanked ODOT representatives for the work they’ve done so far in regards to the intersection. However, Peters said she thought ODOT’s projected 2020 deadline was too far away. “I think modiďŹ cation of the intersection is important. There is a need
for change. I think 2020 is a long way away,â€? Peters said. During the public comment forum, several suggested the Kruckeberg Road intersection be permanently closed. Alternatives being considered by ODOT include: • Do nothing • Close Kruckeberg at U.S. 127, with no other improvements. • Close Kruckeberg at U.S. 127 and upgrade the U.S. 127/State Route 121 interchange to a diamond interchange. • Install a median on U.S. 127 at Kruckeberg Road to prevent the through movement on Kruckeberg and left turn movements on all approaches. • Restricted crossing Uturn • Partial restricted crossing U-turn The study also is taking a look at how a renovated Kruckeberg Road project would affect trafďŹ c on neighboring roads, for example Children’s HomeBradford Road, as well as looking at a projected growth study for the area. ODOT representatives said they would like to move quickly on the project and explained the deadline to apply for safety funds was the end of April. If that deadline is missed their next opportunity would be September of this year. Many who offered their opinions Tuesday suggested ODOT close the intersection completely. Others questioned why a red light was not being

considered. Placing a light at the intersection would cause more accidents, said ODOT representative and project manager Mary Hoy, explaining ODOT does not “have the exibility to change speed limitsâ€? in Ohio, which would have to take place if a trafďŹ c signal is installed. ODOT is accepting written suggestions and opinions concerning the pro-
posed $6 million project through Feb. 24. The public may email mary.hoy@ dot.ohio.gov. The city of Greenville and the Darke County Engineer’s ofďŹ ce is assisting ODOT with the safety study and Kruckeberg Road project. Three proposals provided by ODOT may be seen at www.bluebagmedia.com

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT
Overdose incidents keep Greenville police busy OVERDOSE
On Jan. 22 an officer was dispatched to the 100 block of Cypress Street on a possible overdose. When the officer arrived on scene, medical personnel were with Jeremy Peters in the bathroom. Peters was awake but slow to respond to medics. After being treated by medics, the officer asked Peters if he had taken any drugs and he and he admitted to taking an opiate. After being asked a second time, he said he had taken heroin. Peters was transported to Wayne emergency room by Greenville Township Rescue. No drug paraphernalia was found on scene. The prosecutor’s office was contacted regarding possible charges. On Jan. 22 an officer was dispatched to the 200 block of Fairview Avenue on a report of a possible overdose. Upon arrival, officers found Chelsea Lear on the bathroom floor. Officers located a syringe on the bathroom sink, which was taken into evidence. Medics arrived and treated Lear with Narcan. Lear woke up and refused additional medical treatment. The county prosecutor was contacted for possible charges. CRIMINAL MISCHIEF
On Jan. 19 officers received a complaint of criminal mischief in the
200 block of Ft. Recovery Road. While responding to the scene dispatch advised officers the suspects were Celeste and Sierra Julian and they were fleeing the area in a white Malibu. An officer spotted the suspects on West Park Drive and stopped them near the intersection of North Broadway. Upon contact with the driver, Sierra, she said her child’s father Chris Sides had made her mad so she kicked his car in order to cause damage. Celeste denied any involvement in causing any damage. Another officer arrived on scene and advised the first officer both Sierra and Celeste had damaged the car and that he was obtaining witness statements from three separate witnesses as well as photographing the damage. Sierra and Celeste were issued misdemeanor citations for criminal mischief and were warned for trespass at the Recovery Road address. Both suspects were released. DUI

the car. McGarvey admitted the marijuana was his and also told the officer he had consumed four alcoholic beverages. McGarvey was placed under arrest for OVI and transported to the Greenville Police Department, where he refused to give a breath sample. At that point, his driver’s license was placed under an ALS suspension and he was issued a copy of his citation for OVI and released. The marijuana and pipe were placed into property as evidence. UNDERAGE CONSUMPTION
On Jan. 15 an officer on patrol noticed several juveniles standing in the middle of the roadway. The juveniles were out past curfew and one had been drinking. The juvenile was cited for curfew and underage consumption. SHOPLIFTING
On Jan. 21 an officer was dispatched to Walmart in reference to a shoplifting complaint. Walmart prevention employees told the officer one of two female subjects had been detained and was being held in the store office, while the second suspect had been seen walking toward JT’s restaurant. Officers went to JTs with a description of the female and were told she was possibly in the women’s restroom. The restaurant manager was sent in to see if the suspect was still in the bathroom. The manager told officers she was. Officers waited several minutes for the suspect to exit the bathroom.
While waiting, they heard loud banging and what sounded like items falling on the floor. The manager was sent in again and reported to officers no one else was in the bathroom and the alleged suspect was presentable for them to enter. Upon entering, officers noticed white debris on the floor of one of the stalls and what appeared to be damaged ceiling tiles. Upon investigation, several items with Walmart tags were found to have been hidden in the ceiling. It was determined the two suspects were mother and daughter, Kathryn and Sarah Lovejoy. When Sarah was stopped by store employees, Kathryn continued walking away toward JTs. Sarah admitted to taking items, stating she had no money and needed food. She was cited for theft and trespassed from Walmart. Kathryn was cited for criminal damaging and theft. Both subjects were released. WANTED PERSONS
On Jan. 18 officers were dispatched to Darke County Recovery, 600 Walnut St. in reference to assisting Darke County Adult Probation with a subject who has a warrant. Upon arrival, contact was made with Jason Miller and it was confirmed through LEADS/NCIC that he has a warrant out of Darke County Common Pleas Court for probation violation. The listed subject was placed under arrest and transported to the Darke County Jail and incarcerated without bond.
Reid Health’s birthing center ranked high RICHMOND, Ind. – Reid Health’s Mother-Baby Care Center ranked above both the national and state averages in the Center for Disease Control (CDC) Maternity Practices in Infant Nutrition and Care (mPINC) Survey of infant feeding practices in maternity care settings. In results recently released, Reid Health received a 92 in the Benchmark Report, putting it above the average of 85 for the nation and 86 for Indiana. The average for similar sized facilities was 87. The survey was conducted in 2015 and produces a quality score based on best practices in infant feeding care. “This is just another great affirmation of our ongoing effort to expand and improve the family birthing
experience at our center,” said Kelly Beall, service line director for women’s health. “It also reflects the years of work our team spent to prepare for and earn the prestigious Baby-Friendly USA designation, which we received just a few months ago.” All facilities in the United States and U.S. territories are invited to participate in the voluntary survey, which reviews things such as skinto-skin contact, breastfeeding and other similar information related to infant health. The Mother-Baby Care Center also recently expanded services to include a 48-hour follow-up appointment for mom and baby with a nurse who specializes in post-partum care.
On Jan. 18 an officer conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle with an inoperable passenger side front headlight. While approaching the vehicle, the officer could see the female suspect, Kyla Franklin of Winchester, Ind., in the driver seat looking down and appearing to put something down the front of her pants. The officer asked the female what she was putting in her pants and she said nothing. Franklin was asked if she had any weapons and she said she had a small pocket knife in her front pants pocket. She was asked to exit the vehicle and the officer conducted a pat down for weapons based on suspicion the female could have been concealing a weapon in the front of her pants. No weapons were located other than the small pocket knife she admitted she had on her person. Dispatch informed the officer Franklin had no driving privileges and was suspended through Indiana and also had a warrant for her arrest out of Montgomery County, Ohio for possession of heroin Franklin was told of the warrant and that she would be going to jail. She was also told by the officer any contraband located on her person at the jail would be additional charges. Franklin admitted she did have drugs concealed in her pants. She reached into the front area of her pants and removed a clear plastic bag with three small bags wrapped inside of it. Franklin told the officer the substance was heroin. She later said one of the three bags was cocaine and the other two contain heroin. The substance was seized as evidence and sent to the BCI lab for analysis. Franklin was placed under arrest and transported to Phillipsburg, where custody was relinquished to a deputy with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office. Charges against the suspect for driving under suspension and drug abuse are pending lab
results. On Jan. 19 an officer observed the defendant (not named in the report) operating a vehicle east bound on East Main Street near the traffic circle. The defendant resembled a subject known to officers as having an active warrant through the Greenville Police Department on two theft charges. The officer turned around and caught up to the vehicle as it was parking at Walgreens. The defendant exited the vehicle and the officer confirmed it was in fact the subject with the active warrant. Upon making contact with the subject, he told the officer he was aware he had an outstanding warrant. When asked about sharp objects on his person, the defendant said he had a syringe in his left pants pocket. The defendant was placed under arrest. The defendant also told the officer the syringe in his pocket is used to inject cocaine. LEADS/NCIC also shows the defendant’s operators license is suspended through Indiana. The defendant was cited for possession of the drug abuse instrument as well as driving under suspension. The defendant was transported to the Mercer County Jail and incarcerated on warrants with a total bond of $2,050. The syringe was placed into evidence at Greenville Police Department.

DARKE COUNTY – In a recent statement released by Darke County Prosecuting Attorney Kelly Ormsby, there will not be criminal charges filed against any of the Tri-Village students alleged to be involved in a December hazing incident at the school. “After further review of a lengthy report prepared by the Darke County Sheriff’s Office and discussions with officers, alleged victims, family members and others, I have determined that it is not in the interests of justice to file any charges,” Ormsby said in the statement. “In making this decision, I have also considered disciplinary actions already taken by the school authorities, as well as, the wishes of the alleged victims.” The incident reportedly involved members of the Tri-Village boys basketball team. The school took action after investigating the matter against several members of the team. Read more about the

Darke County Parks was able to make this aquarium fully functional with a grant from the Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust.
DC Parks receives Schaurer Grant GREENVILLE – The Darke County Park District would like to extend a huge thank you to the Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund for their recent grant contribution. The funding from this grant was used to make the Nature Center’s new ďŹ sh tank fully functional. Recently, local park supporters donated a beautiful 170 gallon aquarium to the park district. The new display features an enclosed wooden cabinet stand and a wood top with crown molding. The new tank is larger and more elaborate than any the park district currently owns, and therefore was not ideally suited to function with their regular equipment inventory. With the help of the Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund the park district was able to purchase a pump/ ďŹ lter combination and a year’s worth of ďŹ ltration media suitable for the expansive tank. The tank is now home to “pond lifeâ€? creatures like bluegill, redear sunďŹ sh, and a small catďŹ sh. The pond ďŹ sh’s former tank became the new home for DCP’s rapidly growing snapping turtle. Both of these tanks now allow the young and young at heart to explore the wonders of pond life up
close, and the new pump and ďŹ lter will keep their aquatic wildlife healthy and educating to their full capacity. In the near future, the display will feature informational signage about ďŹ sh species and pond life, but for now Darke County Parks invites everyone to check out their gorgeous donation and all the other live animal displays. Naturalist Kathi McQueen, who manages the animal ambassadors, said she’s so pleased the “community is helping to keep our displays fresh and updated, so the park district can continue to grow and prosper, teaching future generations about the importance of nature and conservation.â€? The tank is a beautiful addition to the Nature Education Center and, thanks to the generous support from the Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund, is now fully functional. The park district is grateful to the trustees of the fund for making this possible. To see the beautiful new “Pond Lifeâ€? display, visit the Nature Center on St. Rt. 502 just west of Greenville Monday through Saturday from 9am to 5pm. The Nature Center can be reached at (937) 548-0165 or info@ darkecountyparks.org.

BBBS honors mentors for their support BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – With January being declared National Mentoring Month, Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of Shelby and Darke County honored those who mentor children for their organization. On Jan. 26, approximately 30 volunteers met at JT’s Bar & Grill in Greenville and were thanked for their service and encouraged to ďŹ nd others willing to spend a little time with local youth. Over 300 youth in Darke County are touched by BBBS programs. Many of those have one-on-one time for a few hours each month. The Bigs get to know their Littles and do activities together. One Big said he and his Little enjoying photography and hiking. Another Big is looking forward to spring when he can take his Little to baseball games. The few hours
are valuable not only to the youth, but also to the adult and the community. Jenny Bruns, executive director of BBBS of Shelby and Darke County, said, “I wish we could clone each of you. There are so many youth that need help.â€? In Darke County alone, there are 20 children on a waiting list waiting to be matched-up with a Big. “The need will always be there,â€? she said. Kelly Harrison, prevention specialist at Darke County Recovery Services, spoke to the group and pointed out these mentorships are providing information to youth they may not be getting at home. “Some of the Littles are learning how to make cookies or ďŹ x a meal because of you,â€? she said. Others are learning what to say during a job interview. Harrison works with a group of high school volunteers called We Are the

Majority and is encouraged by the next generation’s crop of mentors and volunteers. Her group is already working as mentors to younger children and helping give them the support they need. Not only are We Are the Majority volunteers giving assistance, but so are other youth around
the county through the BBBS After School Mentoring Program. Hundreds of youth in every corner of the county rely on the support they receive from their peers. Harrison added, “Any moment you spend with children is not just golden for them. It’s good for the community.�

ON YOUR MIND
READERS WRITE Players should be off court
I recently saw a picture from a Tri-Village varsity basketball game and was absolutely disgusted to see that all four of the players involved in what was labeled a “hazing incident” are now back on the court. This appalling behavior is not the behavior of someone who has earned the privilege of being a varsity athlete. As a former student athlete for Darke County Schools, I know all too well that varsity sports are the life blood of many students throughout the district, which I believe is what has strongly contributed to the cover up of these grotesque acts. The powers that be were given a very clear choice: punish the attackers or punish the victims. By allowing the players back on the team, they have blatantly chosen to punish the victims. Educational facilities should be a safe haven for its students, but by covering up acts of sexual assault, and protecting those who performed those acts, the school system is failing to protect its children. As Superintendent of the Tri-Village School District Josh Sagester’s first priority should always be to protect and serve the students of his district, but I firmly believe his position as the head basketball coach strongly interfered with his judgment in this case. This was not playful locker room banter. This was not a prank. This was sexual assault. The old fashioned mentality of “boys will be boys” is dangerous and harmful rhetoric that continues to shame survivors of sexual assault – in this case specifically male survivors who are already greatly stigmatized. All parties involved-from the Darke County Sherriff’s Office to the Tri-Village school board had an opportunity to show that Darke County protects those who are harmed, but have failed miserably and have set in place a dangerous precedent for behavior that goes on in locker rooms and behind the closed doors of our schools.

------------------------Shame on You
Following is a letter to Mr. Davidson that I have posted on his web page: Representative Warren Davidson, shame on you! At Wayne HealthCare you used Martin Luther King, Jr. Day to segue into a
justification for attacking what should be the right of every citizen: health care. You made blatantly false and misleading statements: 1. “…look at the mandate” The only mandate I see is the Republican Congress’s mandate to gut a plan (to which they have attached a black face— dog whistle alert) that has provided health insurance to 45 million uninsured Americans. 2. “You’re no longer free to not buy care.” Using that logic, you are also not free to carry no automobile insurance, not pay your taxes, or use the mail without buying a stamp. 3. “You’re no longer free to choose what care you need.” With any of the Republican “plans,” you will no longer be able to AFFORD health care. 4. “If you’re an employer, you’re not free to offer a plan or not offer a plan or choose what sort of plan you will offer.” …unless you arrange workers’ pay or hours so they have to apply for subsidized insurance. When I had employees, I could offer any plan I wanted to, I just couldn’t pay for it. 5. “If you’re in the insurance industry, you’re no longer free to customize your product.” Is not covering preexisting conditions and dropping someone’s coverage the kind of customizing you think is a good idea? The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act works and sets minimum standards—you are free to improve it, not destroy it. Under the ACA, the RATE of increase for insurance slowed. But when private profits are the driver of rates, the cost of health care will rise; because private corporations are beholden to the stockholders, not to the public. Look to Medicare which sets rates based on the REAL cost of the service, not the cost of gross profiteering. Wake up America! Republicans are on a trajectory to throw health care into bankruptcy AFTER the midterm elections so that if Democrats regain House seats, there will be nothing left of a funded plan and Republicans can say, “See we told you it was broken.” Respectfully, Libby Earle, Hamilton

Bill to help farmers dies in General Assembly COLUMBUS – The Ohio Farmers Union expressed profound disappointment when legislation to help correct the outlandish and unfair increases in farmland property taxes died in the Ohio General Assembly last week. “While some committee chairmen and rural legislators went to bat for the CAUV bills pending in the House and Senate during lame duck, ultimately leadership in both Houses killed our efforts at reform,” said Ron Sylvester of OFU. OFU CAUV expert and attorney Ted Finnarn said, “Many farmland owners have suffered property tax increases between 300 percent and 800 percent during the past few years.” CAUV, or Current Agricultural Use Valuation, is the complex formula and system for taxing farmland in Ohio. According to Finnarn, one of the main reasons that CAUV values have escalated is due to the very low interest-capitalization rate used in the formula, which has been affected by the Federal Reserves’ unprecedented low interest monetary policy the last few years. The lower the interest rate is, the higher the CAUV values are. SB 246 and its companion Bill HB398 would have moderated increases in property taxed by excluding certain non-agricultural factors, such as actions of the Federal Reserve. The legislation would have also corrected a problem with land involved in conservation practices. Currently, CAUV tax rates assume that property is being used for crop production. The proposed legislation would have allowed these acres to be valued at a lower minimum value. OFU had given testimony by Finnarn and supported both bills. “What really killed the legislation at the last minute was a letter and material from the ‘schools’ lobby dated November 28, 2016, opposing the bills,”

Finnarn said. This letter was authored by the Buckeye Association of School Administrators (BASA), the Ohio Association of School Business Officials (OASBO) and the Ohio School Board Association (OSBA). They indicated that if CAUV values were corrected and moderated to some extent, then residential property taxes would increase and some non-rural school districts might receive less state funding. “These letters ignored the fact that there has been a massive shifting of the tax burden to farm and wood-
land owners over the last few years with the higher CAUV values. Since the schools receive more funds locally from rural taxpayers and less from the state, we are right back where we were over 40 years ago before we had CAUV,” Finnarn said. “The Ohio Farmers Union is open to discussing these major changes in distribution of Ohio’s tax burden, but with today’s low commodity prices, farmers cannot absorb this massive and unfair shift in their share of the tax burden. Essentially, the state has balanced its budget on the
backs of farmers,” Finnarn said. Sylvester said that OFU has been working on this issue “since at least 2011.” Finnarn and OFU President Joe Logan have held information events around rural Ohio, petitions have been sent to Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Finnarn has also advocated through his seat on the Ohio Dept. of Taxation’s Agricultural Advisory board. “We’ll work for good and fair policy during the budget next year, and if that fails we’ll ask legislators for stand-alone bills once again,” Sylvester said.

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Business & Professional Women’s Club (BPW) Publicity committee with members Peggy Foutz (chair), Susan Fowble, and Melissa Barhorst will host their monthly dinner meeting Feb. 9 at the Brethren Retirement Community’s Brick Room, 6:30 p.m. The program will feature speaker Melissa Barhorst, who is a Damsel in Defense Representative. She will discuss “Non-Lethal Ways to Protect Yourself and Your Family.” Melissa Barhorst has been married for almost 30 years and has three married daughters and a young son. According to Melissa, “My identity has always been about my faith and family but for the last four years being a Damsel pro has opened my eyes to a bigger world than my small world. It has given me a deep burning fire inside me to get women protected. Having the three daughters and now four granddaughters and a grandson makes
it even more important to get women educated and protected. Damsel in Defense is a place for those passionate about prevention and the protection of people.” Damsel’s mission is to equip, empower, and educate women to protect themselves and their families. One by one, they are changing statistics and giving back to the many amazing partner organizations that are making a difference in the lives of those who have been assaulted. Club members will participate in a “Have a Heart” donation for the Women’s Domestic Violence Shelter and Director Annie Sonner will be in attendance to receive the donations. Items needed by the shelter are paper products (toilet paper, Kleenex, and paper towels), twin bed plastic mattress covers and of course cash donations are always appreciated. The club will also be collecting plastic caps and lids for the Darke DD/Greenville Kiwanis AKtion Club.
These are being used for a recycled bench to be placed on the bike path that goes behind the Darke DD Administrative offices on Jaysville-St.Johns Road. The Greenville BPW Club’s mission is to achieve equity for all women in the workplace through advocacy, education, and information. Anyone interested in learning more about the Greenville BPW Club is invited to attend. The cost of the dinner is $12. For reservations, contact Marilyn Emmons by noon on Feb. 6 at (937) 548-5824 or demmons@ embarqmail.com.
GREENVILLE – In a year that set new records for severe and devastating weather, the American Red Cross provided more assistance to the hundreds of thousands of people impacted by these disasters all across the United States than in the past two years combined. In 2016, 32,000 Red Cross volunteers responded to 180 significant disasters in 45 states and two U.S. territories including wildfires, storms, flooding, Hurricane Matthew and other emergencies. Those volunteers opened nearly 800 emergency shelters, provided 206,000 overnight shelter stays to people forced from their homes, served more than 4.1 million meals and snacks, and distributed more than 2.1 million relief items. Volunteers from the area responded to 10 of those major disasters, including: * Flint, Mich., water crisis in January * Alberta, Canada, wildfires in May * Texas flooding in May
* West Virginia flooding in June *Orlando mass shooting in June * Kentucky flooding in July * Louisiana flooding in August * Indiana tornado in August *Iowa flooding in September * Hurricane Matthew in October These national disasters were in addition to the local disasters that struck our region, including flooding in the spring and fall, tornadoes and severe storms. “This year a seemingly endless chain of disasters affected hundreds of thousands of people and our Red Cross volunteers were there, helping,” says Lynne Gump, executive director of the Northern Miami Valley Ohio Chapter of the American Red Cross. “People impacted by disaster are facing what can be their darkest days, but we helped around the clock, making sure people had food to eat, a place to stay and help recovering. We
couldn’t do all that we do without our volunteers or the generosity of the public. We aren’t a government agency, so the help we provide to families affected by disasters depends on generous financial donations of the American people.” Amidst all of these devastating events, home fires continued to be the largest disaster threat in the United States. During 2016, the Red Cross nationally provided assistance to 79,000 families after a home fire left them with nowhere else to turn. The Red Cross and thousands of local partners are also working to help prevent home fires, deaths and injuries. Since 2014, at least 116 lives have been saved through the Red Cross Home Fire Campaign in which 574,000 smoke alarms have been installed and 625,000 youth have been taught about fire safety. To find out how you can help save lives, build a stronger community or even to prepare your family call your local Red Cross or the website www.redcross.org/NMVO.

School bus vs car injures two Greenville students GREENVILLE – Following a two-hour delay Friday morning, a Greenville school bus was involved in a collision with a car full of students at approximately 9:30 a.m. According to the Greenville Police Department, the school bus attempted to head west from a fourway stop on East Fourth Street when it collided with a silver Pontiac that pulled out from a northbound stop sign on Locust. The bus struck the passenger side of the car as it traveled through the intersection.
Two minor children from the Pontiac were transported to the hospital with injuries. They appeared to be wearing seat belts, according to officers. No children or the driver of the bus were injured. A second bus responded to the scene to transport the students. The school reportedly called concerned parents of children involved in the crash. The crash remains under investigation with the Greenville Police Department.

Shown are a group of kids from the Community Connectors program that met with mentors during the holidays to do group activities.
Programs need mentors for children GREENVILLE – January is National Mentoring Month and our community has programs that need adult mentors to help with positive impact on our youth. Gateway Youth and Community Connectors program partners with local volunteers, schools and organizations to build relationships that can enhance young people’s attitudes, skills and behaviors through the Community Connectors Program. The community has many youth that need that extra time with a mentor - it can ultimately lead to improved opportunities for their future. The program currently has 12 volunteer mentors with 13 youth matches in addition to three staff working in Tri-Village, Mississinawa, and Greenville Schools. However, more mentors are needed as they have youth waiting for a mentor. Mentoring is a critical component in many young people’s lives. Ruth Barga, support specialist, said, “Right now, our program has six youth in Darke County aged 14-16 that just need an adult to show them support, someone to talk with, and to help them see positive choices for their future. Just one hour a week can make a difference.” Their success stories

include a local small business owner that is matched with a 13-year-old boy. The child needed a father figure and the mentor helped him to work through his communication and anger issues by participating in physical activity together and positive informal conversations. As they worked through some of the issues together, he re-directed some of his anger issues for a more positive outlook. Another mentor partnership success is a youth that has a love of history that is matched with a 70year-old senior. The mentor’s life experiences coupled with learning events have helped the youth see better future opportunities. Talking with a mentor can help a child make healthy choices for day-today life and even set life goals.

Lady Wave comeback falls seconds short BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – The Lady Wave varsity girls basketball team’s slow start had the local girls playing from behind in a loss to the Fairborn Lady Skyhawks 59-57 in the ďŹ nal seconds of the GWOC game. “If we play for 32 minutes and we play the way that we can play good things are going to happen,â€? said Greenville Coach Rachael Kerns, “but it just has to be for 32 minutes.â€? The Lady Skyhawks bolted out to a 10-0 lead in the opening two minutes and 20 seconds of the game bringing a timeout from the Greenville bench with 5:40 on the ďŹ rst quarter clock. “The biggest difference of this game and why we lost was because we weren’t here the ďŹ rst three minutes of the game,â€? Kerns stated. “Defensively we were awful.â€? The Greenville girls matched Fairborn’s 12 points over the balance of period No. 1 sending the teams to second period of play with the Lady Skyhawks holding a 22-12 lead. “We can’t let a team come out and get a quick 13 - 15 points on us and expect us to come back and win the game,â€? said Kerns. The Lady Wave held the much taller Skyhawks to eight second quarter points while the local girls were getting ďŹ ve points each from guards Karsyn Shaffer and Morgan Gilbert to put 12 points on the board and trail 30-24 at the break. Greenville double the Lady Skyhawks in third quarter scoring 14-7 led with seven Lani Shilt points including a threepointer and 4-5 at the line and Cassie Cromwell chipping in four points putting the Lady Wave up 38-37. With the visiting girls each standing a head taller than the young Greenville girls, the Lady Skyhawks used the fourth quarter free throw line to hit 8-9 tosses, four Jana BrownGrifďŹ th baskets all coming in the paint and two free-throws and two Chloe Jackson Treys to put 22 points in the fourth quar-

Greenville added 19 fourth quarter points to the board with ďŹ ve Lady Wave in the scoring column led by eight Jada Garland points by way of a basket and two three-pointers. “I do give our girls a lot of credit for coming back in that situation, but its 32 minutes long and we have to have 32 minutes,â€? Kerns said. “Tonight 26 minutes isn’t going to be enough
for us to win a game right now.â€? “We must win on Saturday with tournament draw coming up,â€? added Kerns. “Offensively we’re doing a lot of really good things. We’re scoring enough points to win but defensively we have to ďŹ nd a way to not give up 59 points. Morgan Gilbert led the Lady Wave with 14 points followed by 13 Cassie Cromwell points.

UNION CITY, Ind. – Union City senior Kelsey Zimmers became the school’s all-time threepoint shooting leader in Saturday’s victory over Wapahani. Hitting two treys during the game, Zimmers helped seal the victory late in the fourth quarter with the record-breaking shot from behind the arc. The basket gave her 98 career 3-pointers to top the previous record of 97 held by Jessica Emrick. “I have waited a long time for this and was nice to get the win over Wapahani at the same time,� Zimmers said after the game. She told The Early Bird, she has been more accurate shooting further behind the arc this season. “I don’t know why that is, but it works and I hope it can continue,� Zimmers added. On the road to breaking the school career record, Zimmers has tied the single game record with six threes earlier this season. “She has been working to get her shot on-point throughout the season and Saturday was able to overcome that last hurdle to

Versailles big over Lima Central Catholic BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com
VERSAILLES – The 2016 State Champion Lima Central Catholic Thunderbirds were no match for the 2017 state ranked Versailles Tigers falling by a 70-48 score in the Saturday non-conference game on the Tigers home court. “We did enough to win tonight,â€? said Versailles Coach Travis Swank. “We showed spurts of what we are capable of doing but it wasn’t a full four quarters. We were just good enough to get by here tonight.â€? Versailles jumped out to a 13-0 lead with 2:07 showing on the ďŹ rst quarter clock and took a 15-6 lead to the second period of play. The Tigers matched their ďŹ rst quarter 15 points in the second taking advantage of eight Connor Custenborder second quarter points including two three-pointers to take the period by a 15-12 score sending the teams to the break with Versailles owning a 30-18 advantage. “He’s always in the gym, always trying to get better,â€?

He deserves everything he gets.â€? “I think he was real happy tonight to see the

First half surge sparks Wave win over Miamisburg GAYLEN BLOSSER
SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – The Green Wave used 17 first half unanswered points and 35 Isaiah Gable points including six three pointers and 11-12 at the line to defeat the Miamisburg Vikings 83-75 in a Tuesday night GWOC game. “Focusing and specifically focusing on the defensive end of the court,” Greenville Coach Kyle Joseph said of the team’s 17-0 run. “We have a lot of guys that are really good in transition. We have to get stops to get out and run and then stringing stops together.” Peter Pandy’s 2-2 at the line gave the local boys a 2-0 lead at 6:46 in the first. With
the score even at 2-2 Devin Hendrix hit 2-2 at the charity stripe giving the Wave a 4-0 lead. “Devin really got us going early,” Joseph noted. “That was one of his best games of the year, was being aggressive, getting to the rim and finding teammates.” With 5:16 showing the Vikings took a 6-4 lead, their first of the night and pushed its advantage to 11-5 at 3:56 on the clock. Trailing 13-7 the Wave battle back to take a 14-13 lead with the Wave’s 6’5” Arron Rich driving the lane with 0:26 on the first quarter clock and never trail the rest of the night. “We got off to a little bit of a sluggish start,” said Joseph. “Once we got going… it all starts on the defensive end. You get stops…we’re
pretty good when we get out in transition.” Greenville extended its 17-0 scoring run into the second period starting with a Peter Pandy drive to the basket at 7:35 finishing up with a Gable three-pointer giving the Wave a 24-13 advantage. The Wave’s 6’4” junior Will Coomer came off the bench to go 2-2 at the line and nail a trey from the top of the key pushing Greenville’s lead to 31-17 before the teams headed to the break with the Green Wave holding a 38-25 lead. Miamisburg shaved two points off the Wave’s lead scoring 20 third quarter points while Greenville was adding 18 points to the board with Gable hitting for 13 points including three treys sending the teams to
Lady Roaders win seesaw battle at MV BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com
UNION CITY – The Mississinawa Valley Lady Blackhawks and the visiting Bradford Lady Railroaders battled until the final buzzer with the girls from Bradford pulling out a 51-46 win in the seesaw game. “One thing I’ve learned in coaching for five years, anything is possible,” said Bradford Coach Patrick McKee. “I’ve seen comebacks for us coming back and I’ve seen comebacks where teams come back on us. It’s just one of those games where anything is possible, so you got to make sure you play all four quarters.” “I knew tonight was going to be a good close game,” said Mississinawa Valley Coach John Hershey. “I was really hoping we would be on the other end of it.” The Lady Roaders used the opening six minutes of the game to gain a 10-0 advantage over the home team and lead 14-5 after one period of play including eight Mandi Bates points. “We got off to a slow start,” said Hershey. “I kept preaching at them…let’s get the ball inside, lets work it inside and the outside will open up. They finally started getting it in there. That’s when she (Kelsie Hunt) started doing her thing. I love the way she plays.” Hunt accounted for four second quarter baskets and two free-throws to lead the Lady Hawks with 10 points while holding Bradford to nine points sending the teams to the break with the Lady Roaders holding a 2317 advantage. The MV girls dominated third quarter play exploding for 17 points while holding the visitors to a pair of free-throws to lead 34-25 heading to the final period

of play. Hunt paced the Lady Hawks with eight third quarter points. “We just get out of character sometimes,” McKee stated. “We had a game plan coming in. We just went away from it for a while.” A spirited one sided conversation from Bradford Coach McKee to his Lady Roaders between quarters paid big dividends as the Bradford girls turned the tables on the home team putting 26 points on the fourth quarter board while holding the Lady Hawks to 12 points to pull out the Cross County Conference win. “I knew he (McKee) wasn’t happy over there,” Hershey said with a chuckle. “My girls were happy it was over there and not here like it usually is. It was a good run.” Bradford’s senior leader Mandi Bates led her team with 16 fourth quarter points including 8-10 at the line while Ally Booker was
6-7 at the line and a basket contributing eight points in the fourth quarter comeback. Bates led all scorers in the game with 30 points, the senior’s third consecutive game with 30 or more points, starting with 30 vs Twin Valley South, 36 vs Parkway and the 30 points on the night at MV. “She (Bates) came out early and said that she was feeling some pressure,” McKee noted. “Her shots just weren’t falling. In the last couple of games when you put up 30 and 36 all the sudden you feel like I can’t score at all, but we got her back into her groove. We got her the ball where she could be successful, we got her attacking the rim and she came alive.” Ally Booker came off the Bradford bench to score 13 points. “She had a very nice night,” said McKee. Kelsie Hunt led the Lady Hawks with 21 points.

We made enough but in general we have some work to do on finishing games like that. We haven’t been in that spot a lot so that will be a good learning experience for us.” Gable led Greenville and all scorers in the game with 35 points including 11-12 at the line, six three-pointers and three field goals.

After taking the top prize at Ohio Has Talent, they received more opportunities to perform. Someone saw the YouTube video of their winning performance and called them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we got the call from Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talent, we were shocked,â&#x20AC;? said Brody Hyre, a senior at Versailles High School. They started to process what all is involved with something that big. The time necessary to develop a performance for a venue like Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talent can be difďŹ cult to ďŹ nd when each of them is separated. Since they wanted to properly prepare so as not to rush into it, they chose to wait and try out for the next seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show. The Quintessentials will work hard over the summer to be ready for the audition. The process will be costly; travel, hotels and meals. The families got together and came up with a way to help offset some of the expenses. Quincy Baltes, a college student, designed shirts that are available for purchase. He said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to see where this group takes us. Not only is it an anchor for those of us that have moved on to college, but I can feel it pushing us to bigger and better things with new and exciting people.â&#x20AC;? The Quintessentials will be performing at the Nis-
school, the pre-Columbian Indians were not sparsely settled in a pristine wilderness; rather, there were large numbers who actively molded and inďŹ&#x201A;uenced the land. Each quarter, the Down to Earth Book Club will feature a different book; some by well-known nature writers, some about outdoor adventure, and even some about pioneers settling Ohio. Everyone is invited to
read the book and join them at the Nature Center to discuss the work, enjoy some yummy treats, and suggest future books. This seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book club will meet on Feb. 6, 6:30 p.m. at the Shawnee Prairie Preserve Nature Center. Call ahead to let them know you plan on participating in the book club discussion in February. The Darke County Parks Nature Center can be reached at (937) 548-0165.

St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School preschoolers study the sign that prohibited blue-eyed children from drinking from the water fountain.
Discrimination lesson comes at water cooler GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; To celebrate Martin Luther King Day in the classroom recently, Mrs. Dianne Blocher, a preschool teacher at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School, came up with an innovative way to teach her four- and ďŹ veyear-old students about discrimination. Because Dr. King was a pioneer in the struggle against discrimination, Mrs. Blocher made a sign that read: â&#x20AC;&#x153;No blue-eyed people can drink from this water fountain,â&#x20AC;? taped it to the water cooler just outside their classroom, and waited for the reaction from her students. In her words, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When it ďŹ nally sank in, they were upset because it â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fair.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Then they got angry and wanted to know who would put up a sign like that.â&#x20AC;? When some of her kids actually wanted to tear down the sign, Mrs. Blocher said no, because â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. King always said it was wrong to destroy another personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property no matter how outrageous it was.â&#x20AC;? Then she told the class
that â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another water cooler downstairs that they could use.â&#x20AC;? One student eloquently exclaimed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not right to have to walk all the way downstairs if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really thirsty, just because you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change the color of your eyes!â&#x20AC;? Then the students stated that if their blue-eyed classmates werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to drink from the cooler, then they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t either, and wanted to walk downstairs for their drink. After Mrs. Blocher told her class that she had put up the sign to teach them about how words and actions can hurt people, that we shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t judge people because of their appearance, a lively class discussion followed. Mrs. Blocher, in her 11th year of teaching preschool at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School, gave her students a valuable lesson last week about the social dilemma of racial discrimination, and she did it without candlelight vigils, rallies, or marches â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she just used good â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ole common sense and a water cooler.

In these classes children get to experience many different kinds of art each Saturday morning with a professional artist teaching the class. The parent also attends during the hour for support and encouragement while the children are working. Children work on different projects each week where they learn about different art mediums, artists, art techniques and periodically ďŹ eld trips for plein air (outside) drawing.

MEMORIES OF THE PAST KAY BROWNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S postcard collection of local towns and subjects was one of the best around Darke County. She was keenly interested in history and in Darke County; this search was a life-long passion. She helped her husband, Pete Brown, run the Central Drug Store from
1946-1967. They helped the Garst Museum ever since then. Pete died in 1995 and was 25 years the President of the Museum. She retired from the museum board four years ago and passed away in 2014 at age 98. She never wanted to live anywhere other than in Greenville. She most enjoyed the GPAT Channel 5 TV broadcasts with former council-person Kathleen Floyd, where they
discussed these same postcards covering 100 years of Greenville/local history. DICK BROWN, son, is also a life-long resident of Greenville and now keeps their postcard collection. Dick graduated from GHS in 1964, Miami University in 1968, taught school for a year, owned McVayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sporting Goods for 16 years and was a real estate appraiser for
11 years. He has been vice president of the Darke County Historical Society for the past 20 years. Dick is still involved with the GHS yearbook and has been president of the GHS Alumni Association for the past eight years.

This was the beginning of the Brethren Retirement Community. This pictured was taken in 1910, a few short years after its establishment. The twin buildings were razed a few years ago.

Greenville grad documents school district changes CLINTON RANDALL

GREENVILLE – Since construction began on the new Greenville K-8 school facility George Mittermann has been uniquely documenting the progress. Mittermann, a 1990 Greenville High School graduate, first took his drone high about the new school site in June 2015. Since then, he has visited the site every month to record aerial photographs of the construction. He even photographed the high school site in March 2016. After purchasing the drone in October 2014 from his boss Bryan Geis, owner of Geis Audio/Video in Greenville, Mittermann has used the device to capture many landmarks and sites, both in and out of Darke County. He said he may never have purchased
a drone if it wasn’t for Geis who helped launch his passion for aerial photography and video recordings. Recently, Mittermann took his newest drone, the Phantom 3 Professional, high above each of Greenville’s Woodland, East, South and Jr. High school that are scheduled for demolition starting in March. “I am happy to have been able to photograph the schools for the Greenville School District and the community so that all the memories can live on,” Mittermann stated. Mittermann keeps everything stored for safe keeping under his aerial drone business name Aerial Concepts. He says he plans to keep hovering above historic and unique sites…using his ‘eye in the sky’ to capture memories from an aerial perspective.
GREENVILLE – The Jan. 21 March for Women in Washington, D.C. “was a magical experience” for Jan Teaford of Greenville. Traveling with several other women with ties to Darke County, Teaford said she was glad she made the trip to what many are calling a movement to emphasize human rights. Those who attended from Darke County traveled with others from Ohio, leaving from Lebanon. “Driving through the night on our way to Washington, D.C. for the Women’s March on Washington, it was amazing to see bus after bus on the highway and at every stop, all heading to Washington to be seen and let our voices be heard,” said Teaford, a housing manager for Chestnut Village at the Brethren’s Retirement Center said of her experience. The Lebanon group of 112 left at 10:30 p.m. Friday and arrived at a Metro station in Maryland around 10 a.m. Saturday. “When the train arrived at the stop close to the march, we were swept up in a sea of energized women ready to make history. We had no idea how large the crowd would be but we knew they had a permit for 200,000 and expected more,” Teaford said of the experience. “We were just overwhelmed. Everyone was respecting each other’s reason for being there.” Reasons were many – and many were personal. They included promoting civil rights, workers’ rights, reproductive/ health rights, disability rights, immigrant rights, LGBTQIA rights, environmental justice and an end to violence. Marchers hoisted signs proclaiming their cause. “People were very interested to read our signs,” said Teaford, who prepared two posters, one

with “Healthcare is Human care” and a quote by Dr. Martin Luther King as well as a sign saying “We protect the most vulnerable…speak up for women, children, immigrants.” Also attending from Greenville was Andrea Jordan. Executive Director of the Darke County Center for the Arts, which she says, would be “directly and substantially impacted” by President Donald Trump’s proposed funding cuts to the National Endowment for the Arts. “The reasons I participated are many,” Jordan said of the march, “from women’s rights to health care to LBGTQ to the environment. I don’t want to see the progress our country has made forward on these issues to move backward. It is also very important to me, professionally, that funding not be cut to organizations like the National Foundation for the Arts.” Jordan said she was honored to take part in the Women’s March on D.C., but cannot believe “this is the point we are at. This election has been an eye opener, to say the least, and I know have a renewed commitment to do my part and speak up, and I encourage others to do the same.” Former Greenville resi-
dent Elizabeth Spille-Witten, who now lives in Cincinnati also attended the March with Teaford and Jordan. “I have lost friends over this,” Spille-Witten said. “Some cannot imagine why we march, ‘what is the point?’” Some thought we marched in anger. That is far from the truth. We, women and men, marched in solidarity, with and for those who are in danger of being hurt by policies of an incoming administration that would willfully cut programs that vitally impact millions of lives. Just days into this administration, we have already seen that healthcare, the environment and freedom of speech are under attack.” Organizers of the women’s march, Teaford said, were “very clear this was not an anti-Trump event,” which is one reason they asked participants to prepare signs indicating their reason for marching. The event drew several celebrities, some drawing negative attention to the event. Teaford said she did not personally hear, for example, pop singer Madonna’s speech declaring she had given thought to “blowing up the White House,” due to microphones being cut off. Teaford said those with whom she attended – and
others who she met while in D.C. – want to keep the momentum of the march going by organizing and serving locally. An official 10 Actions/100 Days campaign has been launched, giving suggestions on how people can react within their local communities. For example, Teaford explained, call senators and other elected officials to voice opinions and get involved. “The people that organized were very driven, sharing that the time to make a change is when a bill’s in play. Call your senators. It’s easier to get their attention before they’ve voted” on a specific bill. “Run for office, get involved and take action rather than just complain about it,” she said. More about the 10 Actions/100 Days campaign may be found at www.womensmarch.com As of Thursday, Jan. 26, the D.C. event drew an estimated million participants to the nation’s capital, according to womensmarch. com. The website also reported there were 673 marches worldwide held Jan. 21, with an estimated five million marchers worldwide. “It far exceeded my expectations,” Teaford said. “You know you’re making history.”

GREENVILLE – Officer Mitch Raffel was promoted as Greenville Police Department’s newest Sergeant Monday morning. The eight-year veteran of the department was officially sworn in by Greenville Mayor Steve Willman in City Council Chambers with family, friends and fellow officers on-hand. “It is a privilege to have served for the last eight years and I look forward to continuing to do so,” Sgt.

With the promotion, he replaces former sergeant Scott Drew who retired last Friday (Jan. 20) after more than 33 years with the department. “He is an outstanding officer and we are fortunate to have him on the department,” Lt. Steve Strick said about Raffel. Sgt. Raffel is a 1999 graduate of Greenville High School. He and his wife Alissa have been married for 13 years and have two children, 11-year-old Julia and year-old Benjamin.

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Boys & Girls Club continues to improve for the benefit of local kids. Over the last year, the club has been enhanced from a new kitchen area, to more tools in the wood shop and most recently a bigger and better weight room. Though the club has had a weight and fitness area for some time, volunteer Charles Jones and others have worked to expand and improve it. From stencils on the walls, new paint and even a large mirror, club members were excited to get to working out. “The main reason for the weight room is to help with physical fitness for the kids and maybe even help get them involved
with school sports when they are ready,” said club director Tom Jenkins. Jenkins says he and Jones will work closely with the kids to help use the weight room correctly to not only prevent injuries, but help boost selfconfidence and healthy living. The club offers its young members many other things, like games, activities, holiday events, annual garage sale and special trips. In addition to their annual trip to a Dayton Dragons game, Jenkins said the club is planning a trip to the zoo this year. “We want to thank everyone that helped give to and purchase from our annual garage sale,” concluded Jenkins. The Boys & Girls Club relies on funding and donations from private par-

Versailles Area Museum’s new season VERSAILLES – On Feb. 5, everyone is invited to the Versailles Area Museum as they will reopen for the 2017 season. Their regulars will be surprised by all the major changes to the museum in the last month. Their busy volunteers have been cleaning, changing and redoing many of the displays and new items are now being featured. Major changes have occurred to The Street Where you Lived display and the Buckeye Overhaul display. A redesigned room better shows the devastating 1901 fire and its aftermath. A new area has been added to celebrate the arts/music in the villages. Other rooms have been better designed and more changes will occur as they move toward summer. Art
Gaier’s wonderful early bicycle display has been held over for those who have not yet had the chance to enjoy peddling around the northeastern part of the county. Also, wonderful telephone memories and cameras galore remain for you to enjoy. The museum’s 2017 Speaker Series begins on Feb. 26 at 2 p.m. when they learn about power in the village and all the “shocking” facts of Versailles’ electric plant. This will be hosted by Aaron Magoto, who works for the Versailles Electric Department and is a member of the museum’s board of directors. The popular “Last Mondays” will return on Feb. 27 with “A Hot Time, in the Old Town, Tonight” The true story of the great 1901 fire in Versailles.

DCP Pollinator Clinic scheduled GREENVILLE – Darke County Parks invites everyone to attend the Pollinator Clinic on Feb. 4, 1 p.m., at the Nature Center. Anyone who visited Shawnee Prairie last summer or fall surely noticed the beautiful wildflowers lining the park entrance and adjacent field. Contrary to popular belief, the blooms were not installed for human enjoyment although that was a wonderful side effect. The flowers were planted for the pollinators: creatures like butterflies (especially Monarchs), butterflies, moths, birds, beetles, and other insects. The Ohio Pollinator Habitat Initiative, a partnership with ODOT and many other agencies, strives to create and improve pollinator habitat in Ohio. For this informative
workshop, Darke County Parks welcomes John Kaiser of the Ohio Division of Wildlife and Donald Knight Jr. of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to share their expertise. Come find out what you can do to join the movement and mow less: how to create a pollinator oasis in your yard, obtain seeds, learn about habitat conservation, find funding, and discover local and regional initiatives. The park staff requests that attendees register for this free program by Feb. 2 by calling the Nature Center or emailing the program coordinator Mandy Martin at mmartin@darkecountyparks.org. For questions about this or any other park district programs, please call the Darke County Parks’ Nature Center at 548-0165.

tinuing and complex challenges with reimbursement and numerous other pressures on health systems nationally, Reid Health’s annual rate increase in 2017 will be held to 5.6 percent. “The pressures on all health care systems and organizations in the nation continue to be extreme,” said Reid Health President/ CEO Craig Kinyon. “Organizations that are not being proactive in the face of these challenges and reinventing themselves - and at the same time continuing to improve quality and delivery, may not remain successful.” Reid’s Governing Board this week approved the 5.6 percent annual rate increase, he said, which is equal to the Hospital & Related Services component of the national Consumer Price Index (CPI). Kinyon said financial challenges for health care continue, noting that the Reid Health system team continues to be proactive in promoting community wellness, reduce costs through care coordination, expand chronic disease patient management programs and ensure the health system attracts and retains quality providers to care for the population.
for health care, noting that nationally many rural hospitals have been unable to survive the financial environment of the last few years. “Our team members, our administration and our board have taken these challenges seriously and taken steps to keep our health system competitive and viable.” Kinyon again noted Reid Health’s continued emphasis on wellness and prevention, annual check-ups and ageappropriate health screenings. He said the shift in how health systems are paid from “fee for service” to “fee for value,” ties reimbursement to providers to patient quality indicators, reduction of readmission rates, and patient experience scores. Challenges remain, he said. The continued increase in bad debt, charity care and Medicaid payment shortfalls at Reid from about $60 million in 2008 to more than $158 million in 2016 (excluding Medicare shortfalls) are among them. Kinyon also noted that a large percent of Reid’s business is from Medicare and Medicaid patients, both of which pay at rates below the actual charges, but more importantly, pay below the cost of health
31% of the actual charges, resulting in write-off of $102.6 million in 2016. Medicare write-offs at Reid are projected to be $319 million in 2016. The Medicare and Medicaid shortfalls, combined with anticipated levels of charity care and bad debt, mean Reid will incur costs but not be paid for nearly $478 million
billed to Medicare, Medicaid and the under-insured that are not paid, continue to result in higher costs to commercially insured patients. Rate increase history: Reid continues to keep the annual rate increase at or below the Hospital & Related Services component of the national Consumer
cent years are listed below with the CPI included afterwards for reference: 2012 - 3.9% (4.9%) 2013 4.5% (4.7%) 2014 - 5.4% (5.4%) 2015 3.5% (3.5%) 2016 - 3.3% (3.3%) 2017 5.6% (5.6%)

discarding them. There can be very important personal information still saved on your old computer.

Nursing students honored with pinning PIQUA – Edison State Community College honored its most recent nursing graduates on Dec. 15, with a pinning ceremony held in a gymnasium filled with family and friends at the Piqua campus. The pinning ceremony is a time-honored tradition in which the graduate nurse is presented to family and friends as a professional who is about to practice nursing, and the graduate is usually “pinned” by the faculty members who have worked with the students throughout their course of study. Each school has a unique pin, which serves as a symbol of the successful completion of a rigorous curriculum, which prepares its graduates to administer to the sick and injured and promote health through the prac-

Tip of the Week
Extended oil change intervals mean routine inspections do not happen as often, which means things can go unnoticed by the owner. Having a regular check up can help spot issues before they become major problems, giving you time to plan and budget if repairs are needed.

tice of nursing. Marvella Fletcher, Edison State Board of Trustee member, provided opening remarks praising the work of the nursing students and those who have supported them along the way. Jean Heath, MA, BSN, RN, OCN, a nursing professional and alumni of Edison State, served as the ceremony’s guest speaker. Heath reflected upon her time as a student and how the education she received helped catapult her career in nursing. “It didn’t take me long to realize that the foundation and the education that I got in this building, from these teachers, and this program gave me inner strength and self-confidence,” said Heath. “It also gave me the skills needed to perform my job.” Heath went on to offer words of advice. “My advice to all of you is to find your path. Your leadership skills and the skills that you learn along the way will get better but what I want you never to forget is
where you came from and where you started, because I never did,” added Heath. Each of the 25 graduates had the opportunity to submit a word of thanks to those who have supported their education, which was read as they received their pin from an Edison State nursing faculty member. Many used the opportunity to share individual stories of sacrifice and triumphing over adversity, the bonds that were formed between classmates and the deep appreciation held for the Edison State nursing faculty. Graduates of the program will move on to the next phase of their career, which involves taking the registered nurse licensing exam and seeking employment. Edison State Community College’s nursing program has maintained full accreditation and approval throughout its history. In 2013, Edison State’s Associate of Nursing Degree program was granted a full five-year approval by the Ohio Board of Nursing. In

Arcanum school board recognized COLUMBUS — The Ohio School Boards Association is celebrating School Board Recognition Month in January 2017 to build awareness and understanding of the vital function an elected board of education plays in our society. School Board Recognition Month honors the members of Ohio’s more than 700 city, exempted village, local and joint vocational boards of education and educational service centers governing boards for their commitment to providing quality public education to Ohio’s school children. The Arcanum-Butler Local School District is joining with other districts throughout the state to recognize the important contributions school board members make to their communities. “Our current school board members have been working together now for several years as a team,” said Superintendent John
Stephens. “As elected officials they represent a continued commitment to local citizen control and decision-making in education. Even though we are making a special effort during January to show appreciation to our school board members, we recognize their contributions reflect a year-round commitment on their part. On behalf of the students, staff and administration of the Arcanum-Butler Local School District I would like to thank our board members for their continued service.” The board members serving Arcanum-Butler Local Schools and their years of service are: Board President, Ed Everman, has served on the Arcanum-Butler Local Board since 1998. Vice President, Tracy Fout, began serving in 2010, Mark Trask in February of 2011, Bev Delk in January of 2012 and Kelly Norris in April of 2013.
