Airport remains on King’s Command could add 160 jobs in expansion RYAN commission agenda BERRY SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – Darke County Commissioners met Wednesday and approved a new hangar lease at the county’s airport. All available hangars are leased, however, commissioners are asking leasees to sign new year-long contracts – and provide their own insurance coverage. According to commissioners, about half of the renters have complied with the insurance requirement, with others not so happy with the request. “It’s change,” said commissioner Mike Rhoades. “People don’t always like change.” However, with the airport now a publicallyowned entity, commissioners have been advised to have those who rent space to be insured. During the past few years commissioners have

made several positive changes at the airport, including the installation of a new fuel system so pilots can use credit cards to purchase fuel, as well as other improvements to the facility’s structures. To pay for these improvements, hangar rent was raised $5, to $90 per month. “We’re trying to bring it back to life,” Rhoades said of the county’s airport facility. Commissioners hope to continue making airport upgrades, including seeking funding to widen and update Chase Road for trafﬁc to safely travel between state routes 121 and 127. Also, airport improvements would beneﬁt those taking part in the world plowing competition set to take place in Darke County in 2019. The next Darke County Commission meeting will be held at 1:30 p.m. Monday.

BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com VERSAILLES – Over the past several years, Darke County has been able to report several economic development success stories – Whirlpool, Fram, Ramco and Midmark to name a few. Those economic development efforts are once again paying off. King’s Command Foods, LLC appeared before the Ohio Tax Credit Authority of the Ohio Development Services Agency seeking approval on a 1.164percent, seven year Job Creation Tax Credit. The company hopes to add 160 new jobs at their Versailles plant. King’s Command is expected to generate $4.7 million in new annual payroll while retaining and existing payroll as a result of the expansion. A building expansion to the plant is also expected.

City prepares for intersection upgrade GREENVILLE – The City of Greenville has contracted with Brumbaugh Construction, Inc., of Arcanum, to reconstruct the intersection of East Main Street and Ohio Street. The project is due to the planned opening of the new K-8 building near the intersection. Local residents will maintain access to their

residences throughout the project. However, the road will be closed to through trafﬁc to the general public. The contractor is expected to begin work the week of Feb. 1 with an expected completion date of Aug. 1. The work to be performed is the installation of a new aggregate base, asphalt, curb & gutters,

sidewalk; then the repair and installation of sanitary, storm sewer, water infrastructure and trafﬁc signal. If you have questions regarding the design or want to review the plans, visit www.cityofgreenville. org, or contact Chad Henry, city planning and zoning director, 548-4930.

Mark Saluk, Darke County Economic Development Director, said, “This is an outstanding company and another outstanding growth opportunity for Darke County. The village, through its resources and workforce, did most of the selling for this project on their own by virtue of their quality. And that’s a great place to be from an economic development perspective” Locally, the Village of Versailles and Versailles Exempted School District offered a 15-year property tax abatement. The incentive is valued at nearly $395,000. Versailles Village Administrator Rodd Hale added, “Kings Command is already a very valued member of the Versailles business community so any expansion is more than welcome. We’ll do whatever is feasible to help facilitate the growth of such a quality company.” Saluk pointed out the company had other options for expansion, but the incentives offered by the state and local governments were competitive with the other offers. Ohio is in competition with three of the four locations (Oklahoma, Nebraska and Wisconsin) where the company already has a presence. Each of these locations has room for growth and are close to raw material supplies. On Dec. 9, 2015, King’s Command submitted a

request for building permits on a 7,637 square foot addition to its current facility. According to the Miami County Building Regulations Dept., King’s Command estimated the cost of the expansion at $1 million. Located at 770 N. Center St., Versailles, the company currently employs 47 people and manufacturers pre-cooked and ready to cook meat products to the food service and retail industry. The Versailles location receives raw materials and manufacturers ﬁnal products. Darke County Commissioner Mike Stegall said, “This is more good news for Darke County. This proves Darke County is a good place to raise a family and start a business.” He pointed out the success the county has witnessed over the past few years isn’t typical of what is happening around Ohio and

the nation. King’s Command, headquartered in Kent, Wash. came to Versailles shortly after Whiteford Foods closed its doors in August 2005. In 2007, the Village of Versailles received a $50,000 Business Development Grant to aid in the construction of a sanitary sewer extension to support activities at King’s Command. The business merged with American Prepared Foods, a division of American Foods Group LLC of Green Bay, in 2014. In addition to Kent and Versailles, King’s Command has a location in Oklahoma City, Okla. According to Saluk, the Village of Versailles, Darke County Economic Development, Partnering for Progress, and the Dayton Development Coalition have worked together towards securing the project.

Robinson retiring, but has no plans to stop working RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – For nearly 50 years, Bob Robinson has been providing the general public with news, information, opinion and entertainment via newspapers, magazines and television. That chapter in his life came to a close at the end of January when he put his reporter’s notebook away for what could be the ﬁnal time. After hassling local government ofﬁcials for the past 13 years in Greenville, exposing hidden truths, being a champion for the young, and sharing his opinion with any that would listen, Robinson announced he is retiring from The Early Bird/Bluebag Media. Robinson’s career began while he was a student at Texas A&M. The proud Aggie earned a degree in journalism and immediately put his knowledge to work at the university in the public information department. In 1975, Robinson headed west to California and admittedly spent the next

25 years trying to leave the Golden State. It wasn’t until 2001 that he was able to find his way to the Midwest. He began working for a magazine in the Ann Arbor area and even though he was able to help turn the publication around in six months time, his employment was short term. “It turned out I was too conservative for the owner,” said Robinson. “I didn’t like Michigan all that much.” By 2002 he was in Ohio looking for work. The move allowed Robinson’s late wife, Jeanne, to be closer to Greenville where she grew up and graduated. His first stop was in Sidney where he took a position in the graphics department of a printing business. He longed for more and reached out to the local newspaper asking if there were any positions available. While there were none, the editor asked if he could send his resume out to other areas. Thirty days later Robinson landed in Greenville as a managing editor. “It was the first time I used my degree to get a job,” he added.

Robinson immediately made an impact on the Greenville community. His opinion pieces often drew the ire of local politicians and his news pieces didn’t always sit well with those being featured. Even during a four-year hiatus from the newspaper business, he sought opportunities to write and be a source of information to the community. With printer’s ink in his blood, Robinson couldn’t shake the desire to be a reporter. “I love the challenges. When the newspapers started getting competition from the Internet, I

had to be dragged screaming and yelling into it because I didn’t want to have anything to do with it. As soon as I realized that was going to be happening that was a challenge I went after.” In 2013, Robinson ended his newspaper hiatus and joined The Early Bird/Bluebag Media staff. A smile comes to his face when he recalls the time he’s spent at The Early Bird. “I’ve had the opportunity to work with another professional and help build a weekly newspaper to become, what I believe, is the premium source

of information in Darke County.” The Early Bird’s owner and publisher, Keith Foutz, agrees, “Bob has contributed a lot to our paper since joining our team several years ago. From his ability to ﬁnd interesting local stories to covering of events, he has helped The Early Bird become an award winning newspaper serving Darke and our surrounding counties. His years of experience in our industry have proven invaluable to us and we appreciate his dedication, not only to The Early Bird and Bluebag Media but to our entire community. We wish him well.” Robinson is ready to retire from the daily grind of meeting deadlines, but he is not ready to sit back in a rocking chair and watch the world go by. “Yes, I’m tired. Yes, I’ve been in the ﬁeld for over a half century... but I want to work with kids. I’m continuing at Edison - both teaching and tutoring; I’ll also be focusing more on substitute teaching and tutoring kids who need extra help to be successful in their

education.” He continued, “I have a soft spot in my heart for students. I don’t like the world that we’re leaving them. I want to do everything in my power to give them the ability to cope and succeed.” His retirement will also give him more time to spend with his wife, Susan. “Susan has been my life for the last eight years. She’s unbelievable. She takes care of our grandkids and it’s unbelievable the amount of time she spends working with these kids to teach them to read and help them learn their numbers and letters,” he said. Robinson will continue to be visible in the community through the Greenville Kiwanis Club, where he served as Key Club advisor for ﬁve years, Greenville Eagles, Darke County Republican Men’s Club, and The Greenville VFW. He also plans to continue working with the Senior Scribes Scholarship Fund. The committee has given away tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships to local students.

drug paraphernalia. Kuna was transported to Wayne Hospital for evaluation. The report has been sent to the prosecutor’s office for charges. On January 20 Greenville Police received a call from the Darke County Sheriff’s Office concerning a subject with a possible drug overdose at 524 E. Fourth St. Officers arrived to find a male suspect (not named in the report) lying on the floor of the bathroom. The complainant said the suspect was in the bathroom about 30 minutes before she decided to check on him. She found him unconscious and hardly breathing. Officers observed a syringe near the suspect and recovered it for evidence. Greenville Township Rescue arrived and administered Narcan. When the suspect came to, he asked what had happened. He was told he overdosed by the rescue squad. The suspect was issued a misdemeanor citation for drug paraphernalia. On January 22 a Greenville Police Officer observed a vehicle on Ohio Street, turning onto River Street. The officer was aware the license of the driver was under suspension. He conducted a traffic stop. Upon contact, the officer noticed the defendant’s pupils were constricted. When he was informed why he was stopped he admitted he knew his license was suspended. The officer noticed the defendant’s speech was slow and at times slurred. He was asked to exit the vehicle. The officer asked the defendant if there was anything on his person that would harm the officer. He reached inside a pocket inside his coat and said “no.” The defendant agreed to a pat down and admitted there “might be a needle in there.” The defendant then removed a syringe that appeared to have been used and stated that he used it to inject heroin earlier in the day. The officer took custody of the syringe for evidence. Upon consent from the defendant for the officer to conduct a search

of the vehicle; additional items were found, including an empty capsule in the driver’s side door. The capsule had a tan residue inside it and it was also taken as evidence. The defendant was detained and transported to the Greenville Police Department, where he passed a ﬁeld sobriety test. The defendant has two open license suspensions with the most recent being a license forfeiture from June 2, 2015 to indeﬁnite out of the Darke County Municipal Court. He was issued a misdemeanor citation for possession of a drug abuse instrument as well as a citation for driving under suspension.

DUI

On January 21 an officer observed a vehicle suddenly change lanes while stopped for a traffic light on East Main Street near Wagner Avenue. The officer then observed the vehicle continue north on Wagner Avenue by driving in the center of the two clearly marked northbound lanes. The officer conducted a traffic stop and upon contact with the driver (not named in the report) observed a strong odor of alcohol. The defendant stated he was driving in the center of the lanes because his window was dirty and fogged up. He also admitted to consuming two beers prior to driving, then later said he had consumed three beers. He fumbled with his wallet while looking for identification and proof on insurance. His eyes were glossy and his speech was slurred. The defendant was asked to exit the vehicle for field sobriety tests, which he did poorly. He stated “I have been drinking” and then “I can’t do it.” He was then placed under arrest and transported to the Greenville Police Department, where a breath test was administered. It registered .091. The defendant was placed under ALS and given a citation for OVI as well as driving in marked lanes. On January 24 officers stopped a vehicle near the corner of East Fourth and

A few hours later, officers were again called to the address to find Ginger at the scene. He told police he was there to pick up some belongings. The victim told police she wanted Ginger to leave. He was told to leave and not come back or he would be charged. Ginger later returned with his father to pick up a car he was letting the victim use. He then asked if he could get a shirt from inside the residence. She told him no and to leave. She shut the door and he then kicked it in and caused damage. Ginger and his father left the residence. The victim again called police to report the damage. Officers took photos of the damage and later made contact with Ginger who said he did not kick in the door.

The suspect (not named in the report) stated he had not been drinking. When asked to perform a field sobriety test, the defendant said “no,” adding he could not pass a sobriety test “normally.” He was informed there was an eye test and he said he could not do that either due to a stigmatism. He was asked to step out of the vehicle and placed in the police cruiser. He was informed this was so the officer could determine if the odor of alcohol was coming from him or from his passenger. The defendant told the officer he had not been drinking, but after a few minutes the officer opened the door and smelled a strong odor of alcohol. The defendant said someone may have spilled alcohol on him. Then told the officer he had consumed one beer at Danny’s Place. He again refused sobriety testing and was placed under arrest for OVI. He was transported to Greenville Police Department where he again refused testing. He was placed under ALS. The defendant was issued a citation for lighted lights on a motor vehicle and OVI refusal.

Artists and models pose together at the Greenville Art Guild’s annual “Drawing from Live Models.” The annual event is held at Brethren Retirement Community’s Brick Room.

Artists gather likenesses of local live models GREENVILLE – “I’ve never done this before,” was one of the ﬁrst comments coming from all three ‘live’ models at the Greenville Art Guild’s “Drawing from Live Models” in the Brethren Retirement Community Brick Room Jan. 25. Then they noted… it got easier as time wore on, an interesting experience… and a great opportunity to read a good book! Agreeing to pose (with as little movement as possible) were Phyllis Mong, long-time downtown business advocate and familiar face on Greenville’s South Broadway, Andrea Jordan, Executive Director of Darke County Center for the Arts, and Bob Robinson, Associate Editor of The Early Bird/Bluebag Media. Each sat three 20-

minute sessions with 15minute breaks in between. According to member Jan Boyer, the Guild has done this for ﬁve or six years. “We have about 50 paid members,” she said. Artists for the event come from Darke County and often surrounding areas like Piqua, Covington and Sidney. The event is open to beginners as well as advanced artists. Boyer acknowledged they never know about the turnout due to the weather. “This time of year it’s sort of iffy!” Ten artists were working on their sketch pads for this event. Mong said she’d “never done anything like this” and referred to the modeling as an interesting experience. Jordan, noting it got easier over time, said she really enjoyed watch-

ing the artists. “I never thought I’d be able to sit this long just doing nothing,” she added. Robinson said he enjoyed everyone simply having fun doing the things they enjoyed. “I had a ball,” he said. “I got to read for a solid hour (three 20-minute sessions) without worrying about the weather, writing a story or taking a picture. “I’m going to be spending a lot of time trying to get kids to read before long… thought this might be a good time to set an example.” Artists in attendance were Chris Brewer, Terry Cavanaugh, Julie Brewer, Don Pohlum, Jan Boyer, Teresa Sutton, Marlyn Banks, Carol Peden and Kathleen Gibbony.

Bright given 16 months after jury ﬁnds him guilty BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Joshua Bright was ordered to spend the next 16 months in prison after a jury found him guilty earlier this month on charges of Grand Theft of a Motor Vehicle and Breaking & Entering. Bright has a long history of theft charges, which he admits are part of his addiction problem. He was serving a previous sentence of community control sanctions when he committed the latest offense. Assistant Prosecutor Deborah S. Quigley asked Judge Jonathan Hein for the 16 month prison sentence. She said, “When this case arose, it was quite obvious and evident to just about everyone who committed the offense.” She argued on behalf of the State that a prison term is warranted even though the charges are fourth and ﬁfth degree felonies. “While the prisons are not wanting individuals on lower level felonies, if someone continues the criminal activity while they are on community control sanctions, that

is one of the reasons you can impose a prison term,” she said. Defense Attorney David A. Rohrer countered that his client has an addiction and needs help in overcoming that problem. He asked Judge Hein to send Bright to the MonDay program. “It’s not a question of whether the court can send him to prison. He’s been down there before and it hasn’t helped him. His activities are based on his drug addiction.” He has been precluded from seeking treatment at the facility in the past due to his prescribed use of Xanax, but Bright believes there are alternatives available that would be acceptable at the MonDay facility. In handing down the 16 month sentence with 122 days credit, Judge Hein asked, “Who is supposed to help whom? Mr. Tabler’s (probation dept.) job is to help you, but he doesn’t have to be responsible for your rehab. It’s always up to you. You have to help you.” He added, “Usually by the time I see people we’re to the point you helping you hasn’t worked, if it was ever even

attempted.” He warned Bright that “you helping you” still has to happen, but it won’t be with the probation department. “There’s been about every opportunity to give you assistance and those opportunities are gone,” he said.

Judge orders jail and probation for Wuebker BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – After pleading guilty in November to 12 counts of Sexual Imposition, misdemeanors of the third degree, Darke County Common Pleas Judge Jonathan P. Hein ordered Alan

R. Wuebker to serve 90 days in jail and up to ﬁve years probation. The 1992 Versailles graduate was originally indicted in May 2015 on 12 counts of Gross Sexual Imposition, felonies of the fourth degree, after a report was made about criminal behavior involv-

ing a teenage female relative. According to the indictment, the offenses occurred from Nov. 2013 to Oct. 2014. After an extensive investigation into the case, the state agreed to lessen the charges due to lack of evidence involving force by the defendant. Wuebker appeared in

court Monday afternoon with his defense attorney Ben Eberly to face sentencing for the multicount conviction. Darke County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Deborah S. Quigley, who sat in for Prosecuting Attorney Kelly Ormsby that was unable to attend the hearing

due to illness, requested that Wuebker serve 12 months behind bars… in addition to a community control sanction. “This is a more serious offense because of his trusted position with the victim in this case,” Quigley stated in court. According to a presentence investigation (PSI) completed by the Darke County Adult Probation Department, Wuebker and members of his family are involved in counseling stemming from the case. Letters of support on Wuebker’s behalf where submitted to Judge Hein prior to the sentencing, including one from the victim in the case. When asked if he had anything to say before sentence was imposed, Wuebker unfolded a prewritten statement he had prepared asking for leniency and forgiveness. “I have asked God and my family to forgive me… and now I ask the court for forgiveness,” Wuebker read aloud. “I will be punished for the rest of my life for this crime. It has made me a different man and I would like to apologize for what I have done… Just please don’t make my family suffer anymore.” After hearing recommendations from both

sides, Judge Hein spoke directly to Wuebker before imposing the sentence. “There is no magic wand in today’s sentence that somehow ﬁxes all the problems. It has been a mess for a long time,” Judge Hein said. “There are people in the room that think this is a case where you should be able to walk out that door… but that just can not happen.” “Your children love and respect you… I get it from their letters that indicate that, but that love and respect wasn’t given back and that is how we got to this point,” the judge added. Judge Hein ordered 390 days in jail – suspending 300 of the days. In addition to the 60 months probation, Wuebker is also required to complete 75 hours of community service and register as a Tier I sex offender for the next 15 years. “I really boils down to what you make of this sentence, secondarily what your family makes out of it and beyond that is out of my control,” concluded Judge Hein. Wuebker was immediately ordered to report to the Darke County Criminal Justice Center to commence the 90 day jail sentence.

ON YOUR MIND

Properly calculating school performance Recently, our children have come under increased pressure due to a drastic inJIM BUCHY OHIO crease in REPRESENTATIVE school testing. With the number of testing hours reaching a threshold that bordered on unhealthy for our children, it was clear that the legislature needed to step in to help reduce the stress level placed on the students. This is why I introduced House Bill 7 last year, which provided safe harbor to students taking the PARCC test. The PARCC test, which has since been a proven failure, already had a safe harbor provision for the teachers and districts, however HB 7 extended that protection to those who need it the most; our children. Even though HB 7 proposed safe harbor for students many families still chose to “opt-out” their children. The PARCC test was an unproven, untested examination. Following the failure of this test Ohio lawmakers voted to end the PARCC testing ensuring it will not be used in the future. The state education report card grade is scheduled to be released in February, posing problems

for local districts because scores will reﬂect zeros for students who did not take the PARCC. Projections show that our local schools will see their scores drop as much as 40 points ranking them as D’s or F’s because bureaucrats have refused to recognize the impact of the opposition to PARCC testing. In order to right this wrong, I am pushing for a bill that will require the Ohio Department of Education to adjust the performance index score on the state report card for students who opted out of the failed PARCC test. This is an emergency measure that needs to be passed this month so our students are not unfairly punished for opting-out of an inadequate standardized test. Without emergency legislation, the Ohio Department of Education will release false scores, eliminating the legislature’s intent for a safe harbor. We have the best and brightest education minds right here in west-central Ohio. I am conﬁdent that if these education professionals come together to develop a program, Ohio will certainly prove to have superior public education. Please give me your opinion on this topic and others in the news this month by completing an online survey at tinyurl.com/buchyjanuary2016.

COLUMBUS - State Senator Bill Beagle (R-Tipp City) recently joined area leaders for the Dayton Development Coalition’s annual meeting which highlighted the region’s economic growth and new efforts to increase collaboration between small businesses and area military installations. The event featured a keynote address from Major General Thomas Masiello, commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) which is headquartered at Wright Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton. During his remarks, Gen. Masiello emphasized the importance of partnerships with area businesses. AFRL contributes more than $380 million to the region’s economy every year. “Jobs are returning to our region and businesses are thriving throughout Ohio,” said Beagle. “When I ﬁrst joined the Senate, our unemployment rate had risen to double digits and headlines of new business

closures were a daily occurrence. Through increased collaboration, strategic investments in our workforce and a resolute effort to reduce the tax burden for all Ohioans, we were able to put the state’s economy back on track and create new opportunities for Ohio families.” University of Dayton President Dr. Michael Curran was awarded the prestigious Maureen Patterson Regional Leaders Award for his work championing economic development in the Dayton region and developing new partnerships with area institution of higher education. As a member of the Ohio Third Frontier Advisory Board, Senator Beagle has played an important role in helping the state to develop investment strategies that have helped to spur the growth of more than 1,200 companies. Beagle also serves as a member of the Ohio Aerospace and Aviation Technology Committee.

I cause most of my wife’s stress Ryan’s World by Ryan Berry Managing Editor bluebagmedia.com

RYANIBERRY Occasionally like to MANAGING take on the tough EDITOR issues of the day and share my thoughts and views. Who am I kidding? The only issue I address on this page is how I keep my sanity while living with three girls. The one thing I have learned is I don’t want to be part of that religious sect that allows polygamy. I can’t imagine having more than one wife and the possibility of having more than two daughters. My gray, balding head would either implode or explode – I’m not sure which. There are days (nearly every day) I feel like a cartoon character that has just eaten really, really, really hot sauce – my skull cap lifts two feet off the top of my

head and steam rushes out of my ears. It’s getting to the point where I can no longer say the little patches of gray in my hair are highlights because those patches are starting to overtake the red. They show zero remorse and gladly take the credit for my hair turning gray and turning loose. While the girls in my life can be challenging, I proudly admit that I do very little to cause them grief. The stress in my wife’s life generally comes from outside sources, which in turn becomes my stress. Please allow me to explain. My wife pays most of the bills and handles our ﬁnances quite well. These companies keep sending her bills to pay (outside source of stress). I then get to share in the stress because she explains to me in a stern voice that because I can’t keep spending money willy nilly (or something like that) she doesn’t have the money to pay the bills. I don’t know why she’s griping. I wasn’t the one that sent the bill. I learned by accident there are few ways that I shouldn’t respond when I’m getting an earful: 1)

when it comes to paying for stuff for the kids, never say “I only wanted one kid.” (Disclaimer I never say which one I wanted because the answer could change from day to day.) 2) Never start off a response with “But you…” It is impossible to put it back on her. 3) Finally, don’t say “What did you spend all of our money on?” Any of those responses will leave me handling the ﬁnances and earn me at least a week of her staring at me with an evil eye. I have no desire to sit at the computer for hours at a time trying to ﬁgure out who to pay and when. Yes, I realize I probably cause most of the stress in my wife’s life and I deserve the disgusted tone in her voice when she speaks to me. Oh wow! She’s good… She’s got me believing it. However, there are times when other people, and I use that term loosely because in my opinion they are less than human, cause our stress. Twice in the last two months we have been the victim of theft. These vultures have acquired the information from our debit card and spent thousands of dollars. If

it weren’t for my wife’s diligence in checking the bank account on a daily basis they probably would have gotten away without a lot more. Admittedly, we are very trusting when it comes to paying bills online and using our card for gas, food, shopping, etc. We are no different than most people. We’ve talked to our bank and they have restored the funds without question – to which we are extremely thankful. We’ve also asked if there was anything we could do to stop this from happening. Their answer surprised me. Other than not using the card there isn’t anything we can do. After my wife’s card number was stolen in December she became very cautious. By cautious I mean she made me use my card to pay for most everything. She didn’t want to ever go through the embarrassment of having to admit her card had been stolen again. In January, we found out we were robbed again. Even though I used my card for most transactions, it was once again her card number they took. She’ll never pay for anything ever again.

GEIS

– Charles G. Geis died peacefully Veteran S u n d a y , Jan. 24, 2016 at Rest Haven, Greenville. He was born Oct. 24, 1926 in Bath, Ind. to the late Albert and Elizabeth Geis. Charlie was raised on the family farm in Liberty, Ind. and farming was in his blood. Other passions that coursed through his veins were his Catholic faith in God and his love of baseball, especially the Cincinnati Reds. He attended school in Liberty and served in the Army during the Korean War. After his discharge from the Army, he returned to Liberty to farm. It was while farming and selling grain that he met the love of his life, Beulah, who preceded him in death July 11, 1997. They were married May 1, 1954. They raised their

family of six children on farms in Eaton, Ohio and the Winchester and Lynn areas in Indiana. Having moved around while they raised their children, the couple also made homes in Hollansburg, Richmond, Lakengren, Buffalo, WY, and finally Greenville. He is survived by his children and their spouses: Lucinda and Jeff Dunaway of Plainfield, Ind.; Terri Geis of Farmland, Ind.; Paul and Michelle Geis of Buffalo, WY; Bryan and Yolonda (Lonnie) Geis of Greenville; Victoria and Richard Fosdick of New Paris; and Charles Robert (Bob) and Sarah Geis of Fishers, Ind. He is also survived by 20 grandchildren and 20 greatgrandchildren as well as a sister, Kathleen Lorenz and a brother and sisterin-law, Robert and Peggy Geis. Several nieces and nephews also survive. In addition to his parents and his wife, he was preceded in death by his brother, Francis Geis and sisters, Thelma Dierckman and Carolyn Hoff. Charlie was very devout in his Catholic faith and was most recently a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Greenville. Because he moved so much, he made the local parish his parish wherever he was. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made to the Charles G. Geis Mass Fund in care of Riggle-Walterman Mortuary in Richmond. Donations will be distributed to provide Memorial Masses at the various parishes he attended throughout his life. Liturgy of Christian Burial was celebrated Saturday, Jan. 30, 2016 at St. Mary Catholic Church in Richmond, Ind. Father Kevin Morris officiated. Burial is in Calvary Cemetery in Liberty, Ind. Visitation was at RiggleWalterman Mortuary, Richmond, Ind.

Tutoring available for the child who needs help â&#x20AC;&#x153;My daughter came home from school crying,â&#x20AC;? said Kendra Chalmers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She had just started ďŹ rst gradeâ&#x20AC;Ś she told me ďŹ rst grade is too hard! I wish I was smart like my brother!â&#x20AC;? What the child didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand was her brother had received tutoring over the summer. He was one of several children who had been struggling and beneďŹ tted from a tutoring scholarship. He moved onto third grade and over the past several months has been getting Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy in school now,â&#x20AC;? Chalmers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I immediately called his tutor, Mr. (Bob) Robinson, and set up tutoring sessions for my daughterâ&#x20AC;Ś She â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;graduatedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; last month. Her teacher told me at her last parentâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;teacher conferenceâ&#x20AC;Ś sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing ďŹ ne; whatever you are doing, keep it up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In addition to helping my daughter, Mr. Robinson had helped me to understand what I needed to be doing at home. He has been a godsend.â&#x20AC;? According to Robinson, there is no special formula; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply helping with the basics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our teachers are excellent,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a sub and there is no way I can do what they do every day. Some kids, however, need an extra boostâ&#x20AC;Ś and it usually goes back to the basics: reading, grammar and math.â&#x20AC;? He added family has much to do with it. They reinforce what children learn in the classroomâ&#x20AC;Ś reading to them, having them read, working with letters, words and numbers.

sons, arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to provide that support. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where weekly tutoring sessions can help. According to the Ohio Department of Education, 32 percent of all students entering college need remedial coursework in English, math or both, Robinson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s down from 37 percent in 2014, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about nearly one-third of all students going to college.â&#x20AC;? And those are just the students pursuing post-secondary education! â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students can learn the basics at any age â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even as adults â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all they have to do is to want to do it. The little ones though, K-2, are where it should start. Almost without exception, they want to learn. They get frustrated because for some of them it is sometimes too hard.â&#x20AC;? With his retirement from journalism and The Early Bird, Robinson will be concentrating on his teaching at Edison, substituting and tutoring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begin to meet the needs of all the students who need help,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kendra, and her husband Mike, want to do what they can to give other kids the opportunity their kids had. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re exploring the possibility of setting up a non-proďŹ t so we can get other state licensed substitutes and teachers involved.â&#x20AC;? Weekly tutoring sessions run $50 a month, although family income will be taken into account. Right now space is limited, but as long as space is available, no child will be denied because of family resources. Donations are accepted.

Learn timber framing at free workshop GREENVILLE – The Light Foundation and Terry’s Timber Frame are planning a free workshop for beginner timber framing this spring at Chenoweth Trails, 440 Greenville-Nashville Road, Greenville. These four classes will held Feb. 20, March 12, May 7 and 28. Timber framing is an ancient building style that utilizes large timbers and handcrafted joinery to create beautiful and inviting homes and barns. The main goal is to provide an educational program that will introduce and cultivate an appreciation for the craft of timer framing. This workshop is designed to take you from the raw pile of timbers to a hand crafted timber frame. Working with timbers requires participants to use their minds along with the rewarding satisfaction of working with their hands. This workshop is designed as an introductory timber frame workshop. They will use mortise and tenon joints in assembling their layout. Staying true to the craft, they will also utilize tools from the 1800s to construct and raise the timber frame. The spirit of cooperation that comes from a group

with a common goal is a very beneficial product of timber framing. If you have been interested in learning about and perhaps participating in a timber frame build, this workshop is for you. Young, old, male and female are welcome. To reserve your spot in this free workshop, call or email Nick Schuckman, (513) 503-0948 or nick. schuckman@gmail.com. They will need basic information about your and a signed waiver. Participants must wear appropriate clothing for the workshop. They require shoes to have toes, no flip flops or sandals and they suggest work boots. They will have some extra hard hats, gloves and ear plugs, but feel free to bring your own if you have them. Week 1 will be introduction to timber framing, safety and making pegs. Week 2 is hand hewing, intro to crosscut saw and making cuts/repairs to timbers. Week 3 will be layout design and measuring and punch holes. Week 4 will go over assemble and disassemble of the timber frame.

Emotions have a powerful effect on our lives and

those that we love. There can be times in our lives that we can become overwhelmed, over-loaded, stressed and in general a “hot mess”.

Dr. McFarland has some holistic natural approach-

es that can help “release” trapped emotions preventing this downward spiral and attain a way to recovery. The Greenville BPW Club’s mission is to achieve equity for all women in the workplace through advocacy, education, and information.

UC seniors celebrate victory in ﬁnal home game BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY, Ind. – It was a bittersweet victory for Union City seniors – Madeline Adams and Joette Sigler – who played in their ﬁnal home game Tuesday evening against Ansonia at the Union City Jr-Sr High School. The Lady Indians offense got going early, putting points on the board early as the defense was able to limit the Lady Tigers’ second shot attempts. Union City took a 39-22 point lead into the locker room at halftime. “We knew Ansonia was not a team that was going to give up and I told the girls at halftime we need to keep attacking the basketball,” said UC Head Coach Sarah Hines. Union City extended to a 20-point lead in the second half, as they continued to be aggressive on both sides of the ball. Ansonia cut the lead down to 12 at one point, but could not stop scoring inside the paint by the Lady Indians. “They just had too much size for use inside,” Anso-

nia Head Coach Jim Bolin said. “We knew it was going to be a tough game and Sarah (Hines) does a nice job with her girls… and it shows on the court.” Bolin added how he once coached Sarah Hines in high school and was glad to see her doing so well with her team who is now (17-4) on the season. Madeline Adams, along with junior forwards Baylee Hartman and Courtney Wise led the Lady Indians with 16 points apiece. Sophomore guard Justiss Cantu added 13 points in the 66-51 victory for UC. Sophomore Bailey Stammen led Ansonia in scoring with 16… followed by freshman Kassy Wentworth who scored 11 points. Ansonia won by a ﬁnal score of 55-39 in the junior varsity game. The Union City varsity went undefeated at home for the 2015-16 season and headed to Hagerstown, Ind. Friday for their ﬁnal regular season game to battle for the outright claim to the Tri-Eastern Conference title. Log on to bluebagmedia.com/sports to see results from the game.

VERSAILLES – The Versailles varsity wrestling team defeated Milton-Union 66-18 and Dixie 55-13 to advance in the 2016 OHSAA Division III Regional Dual Team Wrestling Tournament. “Real good evening… the kids wrestled well,” said Versailles Coach A. J. Bey. “Got to see Milton-Union. We don’t get to see them too much all year and then Dixie. They are both in our sectional so it’s good to see them before we get to the sectionals.” Match 1 had MiltonUnion defeating Dayton Northridge 60-12 and Match 2 had Dixie over Brookville by a 35-33 score with both winners advancing to face Versailles. Match 3 had Versailles facing the Milton-Union Bulldogs with Jacob Poling opening at 106 with a win by forfeit. At 220 Brett Gigandet and 285 Jeffrey Ware also won by forfeit for the Tigers. Pins for Versailles over the Bulldogs came from 113 Marcus Marshall 3:05, 138 Tanner Bey 0:40, 152 Nathan Henry 3:40, Corey Dieringer 2:45, 170 Janathan Moorman 1:11,

182 Jerome Bey 1:09, 195 Kyle Gigandet 0:37. “We have been doing real well all year,” Bey said. “Obviously you’re going to wrestle a team with a though kid on it and hopefully we have a tough kid in that weight class for us, but all the kids wrestled pretty hard.” Versailles took on Dixie in the fourth and ﬁnal match of the night with 113 Marcus Marshal 5-3, 132 Kyle Wuebker 12-7 and 160 Corey Dieringer 3-1 winning by decisions. 152 Nathan Henry won

a 13-4 major decision. Pins for the Tigers came by way of 120 Preston Platfoot 1:48, 138 Tanner Bey 0:48 and 182 Jerome Bey 2:43. Winning by forfeit for Versailles was 126 Lane Feltz, 170 Johnathan Moorman, 195 Kyle Gigandet and 220 Brett Gigandet. Covington earned the right to face Versailles in the Regional Semiﬁnals Wednesday, February 3 by defeating Troy Christian 41-31 and Miami East 42-39.

“I just got word that Covington won 42-39 so that was a barn burner over Miami East,” Bey said following Versailles’ win. “That’s kinda who we thought we would meet coming up.” “It’s going to be a though match,” added Bey. “They have some real nice kids. It’s going to come down to who is going to stay off their backs to get the bonus points. It’s going to be real tight. We’re looking forward to next Wednesday.”

Wave escape Fort Recovery with win BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Wave got an overtime win over the Fort Recovery Indians 73-69 in comeback fashion. “We battled,” said Greenville Coach Michael Bashore. “That is how we won it tonight… we battled.” Greenville pulled out the win from what looked like certain defeat trailing by as many as seven late in the fourth. “He (Trae Wood) never gets enough credit,” Bashore stated. “The big guys had their points tonight but if Trae doesn’t get those steals on that press… two, three, four of them, then we’re not in that situation.” Fort Recovery came into the game ranked 12th in the D-IV Associated Press state pole. After trailing 5-0 Greenville got on track to lead 12-8 after one quarter. Fort Recovery would put 15 second quarter points on the board while holding the Wave to a Pandy trey, two Devin Hendrix free-throws and a basket each from Guillozet, Rich and Gable

holding Greenville to a low of 11 points sending the teams to the break knotted up at 23-23. Each team scored 13 third quarter points sending the teams to the final period with a 36-36 score. The scoring duo of Guillozet and Gable came into the final period of play with a combined total of 16 points; Gable 10 and Guillozet six. Each team would put up 27 fourth quarter points requiring an overtime period tied at 6363. Guillozet stepped up fourth quarter play driving to the hoop scoring four baskets while going 3-3 at the line for 11 points. Wood hit a trey and was 2-2 at the line for five points, Gable with two baskets and 1-1 at the line for five and a Rich basket accounted for the Wave’s fourth quarter 27 points. “Fort Recovery is a good basketball team… one of the better teams in the MAC obviously,” stated Bashore. “It was a battle. We knew that going in and we were just fortunate to come out on top tonight.”

Guillozet made two basket and went 2-2 at the line to keep the Wave even on the board with the score standing at 6969. “I think Clay (Guillozet) kinda took it a little personal that he had been missing some shots all night,” said Bashore. “Same way with Isaiah. What’s great about those two kids… they don’t stay down for long.” A Gable basket gave the Wave a 71-69 lead and sealed the 73-69 victory hitting back-to-back free-throws with under a second showing.

“The second half… especially the fourth quarter they (Guillozet and Gable) played much better. Nice big basket for Isaiah right at the end to put us on top.” “Good effort,” Bashore added. “Might not have been our best overall efﬁciency game but our effort down the stretch… we talk about how your effort can carry you through your mistakes. This was an example of that tonight.” Guillozet led all scorers in the game with 23 points and Gable added 19 points for the Wave.

GREENVILLE – The Wave took a 9-0 lead over the Milton-Union Bulldogs and never looked back in a 70-41 win. “I thought we did a lot of things better tonight,” said Greenville Coach Michael Bashore. “We put four quarters together.” Clay Guillozet nailed a trey to give the Wave a 3-0 lead followed by backto-back Devin Hendrix free-throws, an Isaiah Gable reverse layup and a Guillozet layup off a steal giving the home team a 9-0 lead. “We jumped on them 9-0 early,” said Bashore. “That was huge for our kids. Allowed them to relax a little bit and not play so tense.” The teams would close out ﬁrst quarter scoring with each putting six points sending the teams to second quarter play with the Wave up 15-6. Greenville would use two Gable threes, three Guillozet ﬁeld goals, two Braden Russell baskets and an Aaron Rich goal to add 18 points in the second taking a 33-13 lead at the half. “We tried some different pressure tonight that we didn’t play in the past,”

Bashore said. “A little 1-3-1 half court trap… worked really well for us tonight.” Period No. 3 proved to be the most productive quarter of the night with Guillozet scoring 12 points by way of two treys and three field goals. Gable made it back-toback quarters knocking down two threes while Russell was making a basket and free-throw and Rich was adding a basket for a 23 point Wave third quarter with Greenville taking a 5626 lead to the final period of play. “We got a lot of nice easy layups in the second half,” Bashore said. “We shared the ball really well and we really didn’t let off the gas.” The fourth had Yuta Nakamura going 2-2 at the line, Codi Byrd hitting a free-throw, Peter Pandy adding a basket, and starters Aaron Rich and Isaiah Gable accounting for three and six points respectively before taking a seat on the bench to close out the game. “Defensively we played really well… we rebounded well for the most part,” said Bashore. “We got out and ran when we could.” “They went man on us,” Bashore noted. “I knew they were going to have a hard time guarding us. When we can run our sets and get into our sets we are really good offensively. That really showed in the second half.” “Clay (Guillozet) had six assists to go along with all those points tonight and 11 rebounds so he played a nice solid game,” said Bashore. “Isaiah (Gable) really lit it up. All-in-all… really happy with how we played.” Isaiah Gable led all players with 24 points including five threes while Clay Guillozet was adding 23 points including three treys.

NEW MADISON – The Tri-Village Lady Patriots brought their No. 4 Division IV state ranking into Saturday’s game with Arcanum and battle to a 4945 CCC win. “Forget about the state ranking,” said Patriots Coach Brad Gray. “This game is a rivalry game and it has always been a tough game for us. These are the fun games.” “Rivalry games are funny,” said Arcanum Coach Matt Grote. “That is a really good team right there. They have some really good players. We gave them all we got. We fought hard.” A Stevie Johnting Arcanum three and Allie Downing’s T-V bucket followed by an Abby Ross Trojans’ three had the Arcanum leading 6-2 in the opening minutes. A Downing jumper in the paint with 0:56 showing sent the teams to the second period of play with the Patriots holding 14-11 edge. Each team scored eight in the second sending the teams to the break with Tri-Village holding a 22-19 advantage. The Patriots opened third quarter play with a Shelbey Dowler trey, a Brooke Godown basket, a

Danika Mann bucket and free-throw good for eight unanswered points to lead 30-19 before taking a 3425 score to the ﬁnal period of play. Alexis Abner led Arcanum with a fourth quarter come-back attempt with 11 points and teammate Stevie Johnting tossing in seven points. An Abner drive in the lane at 0:17 had Arcanum within three at 45-42 followed by a T-V Downing basket good for a 47-43 score with 0:13 showing. “Down the stretch they did,” Gray said of his team’s free-throw shooting. “If we would have hit them earlier

we wouldn’t have needed to hit all those down the stretch. We were 8-16 at one time from the line. We ﬁnished for the game 1423, so down the stretch we made the ones we needed. They made them when it mattered.” Abner made it a 47-45 game with 0:05 remaining, but forced to foul the Lady Trojans sent Downing to the line with 0:029 showing to go 2-2 giving the Lady Patriots a 49-45 win and the 2016 Cross County Conference championship. “This year and even last year if you would asked me are you the favorite for the conference championship

I would have said no both years, but to our kids credit they ﬁnd a way to win games,” said Gray. “Conference championships are not easy to come by.” “Miami East had a strangle hold on this conference from the time they came in and it’s been between us and them the last few years,” continued Gray. “Newton and Arcanum have kind of thrown their names in the hat and Covington as well. The conference is getting better. This is not an easy conference to get a conference championship when you are talking about 13 teams, so we are proud of it.”

Versailles dominates Red Devils BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

VERSAILLES – The Versailles Tigers wasted little time putting up a 6143 win up over the visiting Tippecanoe Red Devils. Versailles took on another one of the better teams in the area as they have done for the most part of their 2015-16 season. “It’s the toughest schedule we’ve had since I’ve been here,” said Versailles Coach Scott McEldowney. “I think the majority of the teams we’ve seen here lately all have winning records and pretty good records.” The Tigers would jump out to any early 13-6 advantage after one quarter of play on their home court. Versailles would open second quarter play with 13 unanswered points to smother the Red Devils 23-6 with 5:25 showing on the second quarter board. The Tigers would hold Tipp to ﬁve total second period points sending the teams to the halftime break with Versailles holding a 29-11 advantage. Tippecanoe would bounce back in Period No. 3 outscoring Versailles 1815 with the teams heading to the ﬁnal quarter of play

with the Tigers owning a 44-29 lead. “It tells you a lot about yourself,” said McEldowney of his team’s rigorous schedule. “It prepares you well down

the stretch.” “You ﬁnd out what you still need to get better at by playing against good competition,” continued McEldowney. “That’s what we are looking to do

St. Mary’s students to celebrate Warner talks about the Watch National Catholic Schools Week Dog program at Woodland SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – St. Mary’s School will join students from across the nation in celebration of the 42nd National Catholic Schools week, which began Saturday and runs through Feb. 6. The national theme for the week is “Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service.” St. Mary’s School also planned a local theme for the week, “Proclaiming God’s Mercy.” The nearly 120 students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade at St. Mary’s School will be participating in daily prayer services as well as a number of activities planned around the theme. The celebration kicked off this weekend with Masses, which included a children’s choir, led by ﬁrst and second grade teacher Kelly Ayette. “The main purpose of Catholic Schools Week,” said St. Mary’s principal Vernon Rosenbeck, “is to make the public aware of Catholic schools and that Catholic education exists.” As part of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, St. Mary’s students are join-

ing in with 111 Catholic schools in a 19-county area to celebrate and inform the public about their schools. “As the motto indicates,” Catholic schools exist to form students to the faith and educate them for a life of loving service to the community,” said Susan M. Gibbons, interim Superintendent of Catholic Schools and director of Educational Services for the Archdiocese in a press release. “During this week, we celebrate success at doing that in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati for almost two hundred years. “ On Monday, the Most Reverend Dennis M. Schnurr will speak with Catholic high school students across the archdiocese via videoconference and answer questions from students through a live-streamed webcast from Lehman Catholic High School in Sidney. Locally, St. Mary’s School students will be celebrating each day with a clothing theme to celebrate the week. Monday is favorite color day, with Tuesday designated as Hat Day, Wednesday as Pajama Day, and Thursday is NFL day. Highlights will include lunch with parents and grandparents for students

with last names beginning with A-J on Monday and for students with last names beginning with K-Z on Wednesday. Also on Monday, Greenville Mayor Mike Bowers will present the school with a Proclamation. Other events planned for the coming week include: Tuesday – Sixth-graders visit Lehman Catholic High School in Sidney Wednesday – Students will ring the church bells with lower grades ringing hand bells; juggler and motivational religious speaker Tom Sparough will visit the school at 10:30 a.m.; at 1 p.m. students will participate in a Math-A-Thon and students will be invited to get up and dance throughout the day. Thursday – Academic scavenger hunt. Friday – Mass at 8 a.m. with Special Person Day (parent, grandparent, aunt/uncle, neighbor) to attend Mass with the students. Pictures will be taken of the student with their special person and refreshments will be served. Also Friday, students may participate in Buddy Bingo and a movie sponsored by the student council.

GREENVILLE – “What fathers offer is not better than what mothers offer… they are just different, unique.” Top Watch Dog Tom Warner responded to an invitation Jan. 24 to “spread the word” about the Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) program at Woodland Heights Primary School. He gave several examples of the impact of a dad in the home to about 50 parishioners at The First Presbyterian Church in Greenville. “Thirty nine percent of the nation’s children live in a home without their biological fathers,” Warner told the group. “Children in fatherless homes are more likely to be involved in crime, teen girls are more likely to become pregnant, school dropout rate is higher… “Study after study shows children grow better with an adult male in their lives,” Warner said. Acknowledging there are approximately 25 million children living in homes where the male ﬁgure is either physically or emotionally absent,

Top Watch Dog Tom Warner, with his wife Layla and son Wyatt. Warner leads the Watch Dog program at Woodland Heights Primary School. the National Center for Fathering developed the Watch D.O.G.S. program. It brings adult males into the school building, cafeteria, playground, classroom… “The program puts male role models into the school, especially for children who don’t have one at home. It also provides additional security… each Watch Dog is another set of eyes and ears.” Warner talked about his own experiences as a Watch Dog, including the support from his family. “I remember Wyatt telling me not to sit with him at lunch. ‘Dad, don’t sit with me today,’ he said. It bothered me, so I asked why. He told me

a lot of kids don’t have dads… sit with them.” There was another story Warner has often told about a ﬁrst grader who wouldn’t write his name. “His teacher tried and tried. I sat down with him. When we were done, he wrote his name… all the way down the page. He showed the teacher… she had tears in her eyes… “He did that for you, she said. Only you.” Warner’s wife, Layla, said she was blessed to be part of this… seeing the kids grow… the program grow. Warner closed with this thought… “A child who is loved at home comes to school to learn. A child who is not loved at home comes to school to be loved. I will do this as long as I am able.” Warner was the ﬁrst speaker in the First Presbyterian Church’s “Positive Difference Series.” Periodically, the church will be offering speakers who are making a difference in the community. The church is located at 114 E. Fourth St. Sunday service is at 10:30 a.m. Services can be viewed on Cable Channel 5 on Wednesday at 8 p.m. and Saturday at 11 a.m.

Sheriff’s Ofﬁce continues Active Threat training campaign CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – As part of their continuing campaign to educate the community about the threat of an active shooter, the Darke County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce took time this week to share life-saving information with educators and local businesses… giving them a “license to think”. On Monday, members of the DCSO visited the Ansonia Local Schools during their scheduled teacher in-service day to help faculty and administrative staff know what to look for and plan for in the event of a shooter(s) who has entered the facility. Four stations were set up for staff to learn about possible scenarios they may face and how they will respond under these stressful situations. Each station addressed particular concerns, such as

identifying the best places to be in a particular room to improve your survival; actions to take in making your room secure; identifying weaknesses in a room that would make it less attractive to lock down. Scenarios were given to the teachers in order to practice decision making such as whether to lock down or evacuate. The scenarios provided information based on a given circumstance including environmental, ethical and moral challenges. Staff members were also exposed to what gunshots would sound like from various areas of the school. “They received ﬁrsthand experience on the challenges of evacuating open areas while under the threat of gunﬁre. These experiences will make them better prepared to help the students and other staff members survive a threat,” Chief Deputy Mark Whittaker told The Early Bird.

FISH FRY WEDNESDAY, FEB. 10

According to Superintendent Jim Atchley, Ansonia is in the process of evaluating current school protocol procedures to make possible changes going forward. “Our staff felt it was very good training/experience to go through,” Atchley stated. “It created much discussion about possible scenarios and how we as a staff need to react in an emergency.” Atchley says he hopes to schedule similar training for staff at Mississinawa Valley Local Schools next school year, where he also serves as superintendent. “I ask schools to look at Active Threat training and preparation like insurance,” Whittaker added. “We are spending time, money and resources on something I hope we never have to use. Should an event ever occur, these expenses will be paid back in lives saved.” On Thursday, Whittaker and members of

the DCSO were invited to give an informational presentation during the monthly Darke County Safety Council meeting. In attendance was a number of local businesses who learned about workplace security and safety measures and what to do in case of a threat. Chief Deputy Whittaker discussed common workplace violence issues, including domestic violence, a disgruntled employee or customer and armed robberies. He also emphasized the importance of having a plan and communicating that plan between co-workers. “We have to do away with the thinking that it can’t happen in Darke County, because that is just not true,” Whittaker said during the presentation. “I don’t want this to ever happen in Darke County… the ﬁrst step to make sure this doesn’t happen here is to be better prepared.”

There are three stages to dealing with an active threat and/or shooter. First is to run if you have a clear safe path to exit a building. The second is to hide… find a secure location to wait for law enforcement to arrive. Finally, as a last resort you may have no choice but to fight. Learning proper ways to attack an armed suspect is part of training that DCSO does provide during Active Threat training. Whittaker noted that persons who carry a firearm legally should know when it is a time to possibly engage and time to put your hands in the air. “When law enforcement is on the scene is not the time to draw your firearm,” Whittaker said. “Don’t risk being mistaken as the bad guy!” Nationally there have been 160 active shooter incidents between 2000 and 2013, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Though many

experts try to evaluate why a person(s) “snaps” and chooses to start shooting up a public location, there is no clear reason or definite warning signs to look for. Having and knowing a plan of action is really the only sure way to better your chances of surviving an attack. The Darke County Sheriff’s Office offers Active Threat for all local businesses and school districts. To-date the department has held two full-scale scenarios (Family Health and GTI), and have held educational training sessions at five Darke County school districts. Chief Deputy Whittaker encourages anyone that would like to inquire about a training or would like more information to contact him by email at mwhittaker@ darkecountysheriff.org or call 937-548-3399.

Ciampaglio to the Nature Center at noon on Feb. 6 to discuss his fascination with all things SHARKS! Ciampaglio is a doctor of paleontology, a professor of earth and environmental sciences at Wright State UniversityLake Campus, and was featured on the 2012 Discovery Channel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shark Weekâ&#x20AC;? episode â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sharkzillaâ&#x20AC;? as the expert on megalodon, which means â&#x20AC;&#x153;big tooth.â&#x20AC;? It was the largest shark to ever live reaching the size of a semitruck and trailer. Megalodon lived 2-15 million years ago and is known to have eaten whales. Its teeth were the size of a human hand, and its mouth was large enough to swallow a small boat. Ciampaglio is one of the only scientists in the US actively studying prehistoric sharks of North America, and he has lead paleontological digs everywhere from Wyoming to the Carolinas, bringing students with him whenever he can. Shark teeth are commonly unearthed on these digs. Ciampaglio said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teeth are the business end of any vertebrate, and nowhere in the
