Dollar Tree closing – but only temporarily? RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – One of the more popular stores in Greenville will soon be shutting its doors, but customers are hoping it won’t be for too long. The Dollar Tree has conﬁrmed it will be closing its Greenville store on Feb. 28. However, plans for a new store have been approved by Greenville’s Planning & Zoning Commission and the city and The Dollar Tree’s developer, Elcan & Associates, is in the process of signing a development agreement. According to the Darke County Building Regulations Department, the proposed facility will be lo-

cated at 1555 Wagner Ave., Greenville, just north of the Walmart Supercenter. The company has applied for permits, which have been approved. The department is waiting for a contractor to be awarded the project to issue the permits. The new building is expected to be 9,977 sq. ft. with a cost of approximately $1.2 million. Shelley Davis, with The Dollar Tree, said they are targeting August to have the new store up and running. She added that target could move up or down depending on how the project proceeds. Davis pointed out a store will sometimes relocate to be closer to its customers or when they are providing additional value. The Greenville’s store relocation is due

to the latter. The new store will be larger and will include freezers and coolers. Davis said, “We are excited to continue our presence in Greenville.” On the closing of the store before a new building was built, Steven Speranza, president/asset manager of Tolson Enterprises, explained The Dollar Tree’s lease was expiring and a prospective new tenant for that location is in the works. Tolson Enterprises tried to work with The Dollar Tree to give them additional space, but an agreement could not be reached. Speranza would not give details on who the new tenant will be, but noted construction will begin the day after The Dollar Tree vacates the building.

The Dollar Tree’s Greenville store will close on Feb. 28, but plans are in the works to build a new store north of the Walmart Supercenter.

Tinkham enters Alford plea in child sex case, gets 5 years CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – After pleading guilty in January to one count of Gross Sexual Imposition (F3), 56-yearold David M. Tinkham of New Madison entered an Alford plea Thursday to a sole count of Sexual Battery (F3) in a separate felony case involving sexual conduct with a minor. As a result of the conviction in both cases, Darke County Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein sentenced Tinkham to a mutually agreed ﬁve year prison term. Tinkham was indicted on seven counts in December 2015, including Rape and Sexual Battery, following an investigation accusing him of the offenses that dated as far back as 1993. As part of a plea bargain, he agreed to enter an Alford plea in exchange for the state dismissing the remaining six counts in the indictment.

An Alford plea means that a defendant will plead guilty, but does not admit guilt in the case. The plea is entered due to the risk of a conviction in a trial is too great, as is the maximum penalty. “Mr. Tinkham agreed to an Alford plea since the state would then dismiss three Rape and three other Sexual Battery charges,” stated local defense attorney Randall E. Breaden. “Some of the Rape charges carried a possible life sentence.”

According to Darke County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Deborah S. Quigley, several reports were made to the proper authorities during the offenses nearly 20 years ago, but no charges ever resulted in the case. When a second child victim came forward, Det. Rachel Kuzmicki of the Darke County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce elected to re-open the old case and pursue an indictment on both. “The case simply fell through the cracks and no

charges were ever brought up against the defendant,” Quigley noted during Thursday’s hearing. “The investigator in the case was tasked with contacting the victim and when they didn’t receive back a response, they simply closed the case.” Members of Tinkham’s family, including one of the victims, where present in the courtroom for the hearing. Two close relatives emotionally read several prepared victim impact statements prior to sentencing by Judge Hein. “I hope that by entering a guilty plea in the case that you have accepted what you have done and are admitting that what you have done is wrong. There is no amount of prison time that can ﬁx what has been done,” a family member said to Tinkham – who sat without emotion with his head down. “You have hurt innocent people and children. My daily prayer is that you ask God for forgiveness. I

hope you know that through all the anger and hurt, that I still love you and you will always hold a place in my heart.” “Through this entire process I have had to resist nightmares that I have had locked away,” a female victim in the case directed at Tinkham. “Just for you to show some remorse and say your sorry… or feel guilty… I would be able to have some closure.” “I want you to understand that you have not just hurt me… you have hurt many people – and there is no justice for them – their voice won’t be heard,” she continued. “So during your years of being locked away and making new friends, I want you to think about every one of those girls you have hurt – and admit your guilt and pray for forgiveness!” Tinkham received three years in the GSI case and ﬁve years for the Sexual Battery, both to be ran concur-

rent with one another. He was credited with 226 days of jail time served. “I think I heard from your family, at least through my interpretation, that they hope something good will come out of this… essentially that is up to you,” Judge Hein told Tinkham. “The damage has been done, but they sound like they are trying to push through the healing that is necessary for the victims.” “It is actually very mature that they can hope that through the prison process and a conviction… that you can become a better person, but that is completely up to you,” Judge Hein added. Tinkham will be eligible for judicial release after completing four of the ﬁve year sentence. He will be placed on post release control with the Adult Parole Authority and required to register as a Tier III sex offender for the rest of his natural life once he gets out of prison.

Arcanum grad awarded ﬁrst Lauren Hill scholarship SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

ARCANUM – A 2012 Arcanum High School graduate has been awarded the very ﬁrst Lauren Hill Scholarship. Ms. Hill was the Mount St. Joseph student and basketball player who died April 2015, as a result of an inoperable brain tumor at the age of 19. Arcanum grad Erija Nealeigh, is a biology major and a senior at Mount St. Joseph University in Cincinnati. She is the daughter of David and Christa Nealeigh. “I was ecstatic and very thankful and blessed,” Nealeigh said this week of receiving the $1,000 scholarship this past December. “It was surreal because of everything Lauren Hill stands for and the legacy she left -

to be able to represent her.” Nealeigh, who currently serves as the student government president for Mount St. Joseph, said she was very aware of the circumstances surrounding the late Ms. Hill’s battle with cancer and her desire to play basketball for the Lady Lions. “I followed her every step of the way and actually attended the game at Xavier,” Nealeigh said of the Nov. 2, 2014 game between Mount St. Joseph and Hiram College. The game was held at Xavier University’s Cintas Center. Ms. Hill scored the ﬁrst and last baskets, leading her team to a 66-55 victory. Nealeigh, who played softball for Arcanum, said the scholarship application asked those applying to not reference their participation with sports. Instead,

students were to focus on the opportunities they have taken to “give voice to others.” After receiving an email from the Mount St. Joseph’s registrar’s ofﬁce informing her about the scholarship, Nealeigh decided to apply. Her involvement with campus government, as well as working as a campus ambassador and member of the TriBeta National Honor Society, Nealeigh said she thought she’d be a good ﬁt for the scholarship. “Our mission is to give voice,” she noted about her work with student government. “I thought I’d be a good candidate.” While at Arcanum High School, Nealeigh also was a member of the SADD club, served as president of the student council, was a member of the National Honor Society and the school’s sci-

ence club. “My essay focused on my involvement and summer internship experiences,” she explained. “I interned at the National Conference for Community and Justice of Greater Dayton. Their mission is to eliminate bias and discrimination in the community. Through that internship I was able to become a summer counselor for youth and speak to them about eliminating racism and prejudice.” This coming fall, Nealeigh will pursue a doctorate in occupational therapy at Huntington University in Ft. Wayne, Ind. The Lauren Hill Scholarship is sponsored by Connor Sports of Michigan, a supplier of professional and collegiate hardwood ﬂoors. According to the Connor Sports website, the $1,000 Lauren Hill scholarship will

be given annually for ﬁve years to the Mount St. Joseph student who displays academic performance and community engagement. “When Connor Sports learned of the amazing and inspiring story of Lauren

Hill and her courageous battle against the illness that eventually took her life, we asked Mt. St. Joseph University how we could help,” said Connor Sports President and GM Jon Isaacs in a statement.

On February 8 an ofďŹ cer was dispatched to the 700 block of Central Avenue on the report of a male passed out behind the wheel of a vehicle that had struck another vehicle. OfďŹ cers found the driver slumped over in the front seat. The ofďŹ cer woke the man and recognized him as Terry Goodpaster, who then attempted to drive the vehicle forward. The ofďŹ cer repeatedly asked Goodpaster to put the car into park, which took several attempts by the suspect to accomplish. Goodpaster said he was not aware why he was stopped on the side of the road or why

police had been called to the scene. He told the ofďŹ cer he had consumed two beers. Goodpaster was transported to the Greenville Police Department where sobriety tests were administered. According to police reports, Goodpaster did â&#x20AC;&#x153;poorlyâ&#x20AC;? on the tests and was issued a citation for right side of roadway and OVI. On February 7 an ofďŹ cer observed a vehicle traveling southbound on Wagner Avenue near Rhoades Avenue with no headlights. The ofďŹ cer conducted a trafďŹ c stop and upon speaking with the defendant (who was not named in police reports) observed bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and an odor of alcohol. When asked if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been drinking, the defendant answered â&#x20AC;&#x153;no.â&#x20AC;? The ofďŹ cer asked the defendant to exit the vehicle. Field sobriety

tests were conducted. The defendant asked the ofďŹ cer to retrieve his cell phone from the vehicle. Upon doing so, the ofďŹ cer found an open case of Bud Light in the rear seat of the truck, behind the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat. The defendant was transported to the Greenville Police Department where he consented to a breath test. The defendant was cited and placed under an ALS suspension. He was released to a friend. On February 6, an ofďŹ cer heard a vehicle horn honking while traveling south in the 300 block of South Broadway. The ofďŹ cer followed the vehicle south onto Washington Avenue. The driver (not named in police reports) then pulled the vehicle to the right side of the roadway on Washington near Cypress Street. The ofďŹ cer noticed the rear of the ve-

hicle was still partially in the roadway. The ofďŹ cer approached the vehicle and made contact with the defendant. She said she did not remember using her horn. The ofďŹ cer noticed a strong odor of alcohol and noticed the defendantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pupils were dilated and her speech was slurred. When asked about alcohol consumption, the defendant said she had three drinks. The ofďŹ cer conducted ďŹ eld sobriety tests and the suspect was placed under arrest then transported to the Greenville Police Department. A breath test was performed with the result of .222. The defendant was placed under an administrative license suspension, including a citation for OVI, then released to the custody of her mother. Records show the defendant had prior OVI convictions.

Bradburn sentenced to one year after double fatal collision BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Exactly one year to the day after a crash that claimed the life of two people, 50year-old Chad E. Bradburn entered a guilty plea and was sentenced to serve a year behind bars. He was charged after being held responsible for causing the death of 47year-old Linda Shafer of Greenville and Richard L. Stephenson, 49, of Union City, Ohio – who were in the roadway at approximately 9:30 p.m. on Feb. 8, 2015 following an initial crash on the 2400 block of SR 571 West. On the Dec. 8, 2015, a bench trial commenced in the case as Bradburn faced two felony Aggravated Vehicular Homicide, and one count of Tampering with Evidence. He also was indicated on a misdemeanor charge of Driving Under the Influence, Operating a Motor Vehicle with a Prohibited Concentration of Alcohol and a minor misdemeanor traffic violation for Assured Clear Distance. After a full day of witness and expert testimony, the bench trial had to be delayed due to one of the state’s law enforcement witnesses being unable to testify at the time of the trial. The conclusion (phase 2) of the trial was postponed until after the new year, but was once again halted as the defense and prosecution worked on a plea agreement in the case. As part of the new agreement, Bradburn pleaded guilty Monday to two amended misdemeanor counts Vehicular Homicide and Tampering with Evidence, a third degree felony. The state also agreed to seek a one year prison sentence and not oppose judicial release after Bradburn serves at least six months. According to witnesses during the bench trial, several motorists stopped to offer assistance after noticing a vehicle partially on the roadway and on its top. They found Stephenson attempting to crawl out the rear window of the inverted car after striking a tree. While helping get him out of the car, witnesses testified that a Jeep, driven by Bradburn, approached the scene from the eastbound lane – failing to avoid the

wreckage – striking and killing Stephenson and Shafer. Witnesses were consistent in stating that it did not appear that Bradburn slowed down before the impact. Bradburn admitted to consuming three 16 ounce beers earlier in the evening, but told deputies his last drink was nearly two hours prior to the crash. Evidence in the case showed that Bradburn had a .079 blood alcohol content (BAC) level, which is just below the legal limit to operate a motor vehicle. The state and the defense argued as to what his (Bradburn’s) BAC would have been at the time of the crash, since Ohio states it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle with a BAC of .08 or higher. Members of the victims’ family were present during the plea/sentencing hearing in the Darke County Common Pleas Court. When Judge Jonathan P. Hein asked for any victim impact statements, the sister of Richard Stephenson directed a prewritten letter to Bradburn as she held up a photo of her brother. “It really hit me hard when we had to wake

up his (Stephenson’s) 15year-old daughter at 4 a.m. in the morning to tell her that her father was killed. I think that was the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life,” she emotionally read. “That little girl hit the floor and cried and cried… I was so sad!” “I hope the time you spend away from your family makes you realize how precious life is and how quickly it can change,” she continued. “I hope some day I can find it in my heart to forgive you, but today my heart does not allow me to do that.” Judge Hein ordered Bradburn to report to the Darke County Criminal Justice Center immediately following the hearing to begin serving his sentence. In addition to the 12 month prison sentence, Bradburn was ordered to pay over $4,000 in fines and court costs, a license suspension for a year and be placed on up to 36 months of post release control. According to the defense, Bradburn’s liability insurance is covering the funeral and burial expenses of both victims in the case.

Kiwanis hear ‘Powering the Future’ presentation by auto tech students BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Complete with personalized business cards, a tri-fold brochure, a Power Point presentation and a custom built electric go-kart – not to mention a 2012 Chevy Volt parked outside - three students from Greenville Career Tech Center’s Auto Technology program shared their “Powering the Future” presentation with the Greenville Kiwanis on Wednesday, Feb. 10 at Chestnut Village Center on the campus of the Brethren Retirement Community. The three students, Alyson Hardy, Bryan Flory and Jacob Mann were accompanied by instructors Travis Nicholas and James Anderson. Their presentation outlined the work auto technology students have been completing on alternative fuels and the future of electric cars. The students will once again make their presentation at state competition in Columbus on April 26-27. From there they hope to travel in June to Kentucky for national competition. “You have to place ﬁrst,” Nicholas said, at the state level to qualify for nationals. Those who saw the group’s presentation on Wednesday have no doubt the students have a good chance for that trip to Kentucky. Each student, equipped with their own wireless headset microphones, gave part of a verbal presentation while explaining their research, which includes points about electric grids, electric power, charging stations, battery life, and the future of electric vehi-

cles and their impact on our society. Last year, thanks to a $5,000 grant from Dayton Power & Light, the auto tech program was able to secure a number of materials to assist with their research, including the purchase of a 2012 Chevy Volt. The Volt has become quite a sensation around town, Anderson noted during his comments. “More than 100 people in the community have driven the Volt,” he said. The car is available for school employees to take for a spin as well as interested individuals throughout the community. Greenville High School has the only charging station within the county, Anderson said, another ﬁrst for the auto technology program, which assists with the students’ research. Students also have placed their brochures at car dealers around the county. And they have designed a website for those interested in keeping up with the school’s program and their progress as research continues. “The community can monitor what we’re doing and where we’re going,” Anderson ex-

ON YOUR MIND

New changes from the BWC The Bureau of Workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Compensation has been hard at work ďŹ nding ways to JIM BUCHY save Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OHIO businesses REPRESENTATIVE m o n e y . Since taking over BWC in 2011, administrator Steve Buehrer has done an excellent job of streamlining the BWC and reducing costs to Ohio businesses. Workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compensation is one of the largest expenses Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s businesses face but since 2011 premiums have fallen 21.4 percent to the lowest average rate in 35 years. These efforts have even led Forbes to name Ohio the 15th best state for businesses. This year, businesses will see a number of new changes that will further streamline the workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compensation process and save even more money. For instance, last month employers transitioned to prospective billing which provides many beneďŹ ts like a base-rate reduction of two percent for private employers, allowing more ďŹ&#x201A;exible payment options, more opportunities for BWC to provide quotes online and over the phone, and increased ability to detect non-compliance and fraud. Another major change taking place this year with BWC is the partnership with United States Insurance Services and Zurich to help employers who do business in multiple states purchase workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compensation coverage for employees working outside of Ohio. Last year, the Ohio General Assembly passed a bill allowing BWC the authority to contract with an insurer to provide this coverage. Previously, BWC coverage only applied to workers temporarily working out of state and any injury claims

ďŹ led outside of Ohio were met with complications that subjected Ohio businesses to ďŹ nes and penalties from other states. This new partnership will allow businesses to contract with a licensed insurance provider through BWC to ensure proper workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compensation coverage for their employees working out of state. With this optional coverage, the insurance vendor will issue policies and cover out-of-state claims. With these new rules, businesses who work across state lines will be able to save money by preventing fees and penalties for lack of coverage in other states. These changes are especially important in the 84th House District. Western Ohio is home to many businesses that already do business in Indian, or those hoping to one day expand. Having this new coverage option will simplify the process so businesses can work across state lines without worrying about maintaining multiple workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compensation policies or the risks of penalty for insufďŹ cient coverage. For public employers this program went into effect in January, making the workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compensation program more effective for the taxpayer and reducing problematic situations for local governments. For private sector businesses this optional coverage will be available very soon. For those interested in purchasing this additional coverage, the majority of the business must be in Ohio. Business owners can apply by contacting the BWC, who will determine eligibility and premiums. Please give me your opinion on this topic and others in the news this month by completing an online survey at tinyurl.com/buchyfebruary2016.

ODE to add info to state report cards COLUMBUSâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;State Representative Kristina Roegner (R-Hudson) and State Representative Jim Buchy (R-Greenville) applauded an announcement by the Ohio Department of Education stating that, for the 2014-15 Ohio School Report Cards, there will be additional information regarding participation of students in state tests last year and how this impacts the achievement measure score and grade for schools. The change comes after a small percentage of districts and community schools experienced a signiďŹ cant decrease in student participation on state tests. Discussions with legislators, schools and other stakeholders found that a solution was needed to ensure that students who did not participate in state tests were excluded from the Performance Index Score. For 2014-15 report cards, ODE will provide additional information on a â&#x20AC;&#x153;modiďŹ ed achievement measureâ&#x20AC;? for scores and grades. This will be calculated using data only for

students who participated in state tests and therefore wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include those who opted to not take the tests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am delighted to hear that ODE will be modifying its state report cards to include the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;modiďŹ ed achievement measure.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; This measure will be calculated from only those students who have taken the assessments,â&#x20AC;? Rep. Roegner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe this change will help ensure that parents, teachers, and administrators have more accurate information concerning the education of our children.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a result of the failed PARCC test, many schools faced signiďŹ cant negative impacts on state report cards,â&#x20AC;? Buchy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I applaud the leadership at the Ohio Department of Education for providing an opportunity for Ohioans to compare schools on a level playing ďŹ eld.â&#x20AC;?

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t follow me because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty

I learned something this week I always thought to be true, but, being the humble person that I am, allowed self doubt to creep in. I am a popular and well-loved person. I have Instagram to thank for this veriďŹ cation. In just a couple of days I had hundreds of new followers. These were people wanting to know more about me. They all wanted to be part of my life and share in my joys and sorrows. They wanted to enjoy my humor and see what makes me shed a tear. Did I have to compromise my integrity and did I lose a little piece of who I am in the process? Absolutely, but a false sense of self-worth

was worth every shred of dignity I may have lost. What did I have to do? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite simple. I had to turn myself into a very good looking girl and take a seductive looking picture. I also had to follow about 800 guys from across the globe, including those whose biographies were written in Arabic. Oh, I almost forgot. I also had to act as if they could date me if they signed up for an â&#x20AC;&#x153;instant dateâ&#x20AC;? service. Imagine my joy when my phone started to ding every ďŹ ve seconds. I would look down to see the Instagram logo and a note that said â&#x20AC;&#x153;horndog accepted your follow request.â&#x20AC;? That was soon followed by another ding and message, â&#x20AC;&#x153;horndog has requested to follow you on Instagram.â&#x20AC;? Horndog was not his real username. I changed the name to protect the inno-

cent. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ďŹ gured it out yet, I was hacked. Somebody, and I doubt it was the girl whose picture replaced my own as my proďŹ le picture, was the mastermind behind this personal attack. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not saying she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been the mastermind, but quite frankly, she really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to use her mind to attract a guy (or 800 of them). Once I realized I was violated I tried to log into my Instagram account. I was blocked. They changed my password. I know I can be very sarcastic when writing about my family, but my ďŹ rst thought was of them. How do I protect them? Their pictures are on my account. Will someone try to exploit them? Then a horrible thought crossed my mind. Was the picture of me in the mermaid mold

while I was shirtless posted on my Instagram or my wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Instagram? Will someone try to exploit me? That picture in the wrong hands could be very damaging. Oh wait! It was already in the wrong hands â&#x20AC;&#x201C; my wife and kids. My co-workers keep a copy of that picture for blackmail purposes. It took me a couple of days to ďŹ nally access my account. I had to send them a picture of me holding a sign that had my username, email and the code they gave me. If I would have been shirtless, tussled my hair, and gave a quirky smirk it would have been the perfect mugshot. As much as I enjoyed looking at Yoel Abregoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pictures of bridges or Bagus Gunawanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surďŹ ng exploits, I had to let them go. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want people to like me or follow me just because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty.

Senators announce fellowship program COLUMBUS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; State Senate President Keith Faber and State Senator Bill Beagle recently announced the Ohio Legislative Service Commission is accepting applications for its prestigious 13-month Legislative and Telecommunications Fellowship programs. The Commission will hire 24 fellows to work with members of the Ohio General Assembly during 2017. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With hundreds of bills before the state legislature every year, legislative fellows play an invaluable role managing the process associated with developing public policy,â&#x20AC;? said Beagle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For many, the highly regarded LSC fellowship program offers a unique fast track into public service careers.â&#x20AC;? LSC fellows are immersed in the Ohio legislative process by assisting members of the Ohio General Assembly with constituent work, writing press releases and speeches, assisting in policy research, attending meetings and performing administrative

duties. Telecommunications fellows assist in televising House and Senate proceedings and in preparing educational video productions about the General Assembly and the legislative process. Fellows receive full state of Ohio employee beneďŹ ts and are paid $31,200 per year, with the opportunity to earn a $2,000 bonus based on length of service in the program. Legislative fellowship application materials must be postmarked by April 1,

2016 to be considered for the program. The application deadline for the telecommunications applicants is April 30, 2016. All applicants must have graduated from a four-year college degree program by the December start date. Persons holding graduate or professional degrees may apply. The legislative fellowship program is open to graduates of all major ďŹ elds of study who have a genuine interest in learning about state government, and no political experience

is required. The two telecommunications fellows must have majored or minored in a telecommunications-related ďŹ eld of study or have comparable experience.

GAVIT PAVING, INC. P.O. BOX 69 NORTH STAR, OHIO 45350 419-336-7541 February 15, 2016 To whom it may concern: We, the owners of Gavit Paving, Inc., have decided to restructure the operations of our business. As you may be aware, our corporation has served the local area in the asphalt industry for over the past sixty-five years. Our plans are to cease asphalt paving and sealcoating operations, and concentrate our efforts towards the remaining trades of our company. We will still provide construction services such as excavation, grading, and hauling of stone and dirt. As in the past, we will gladly work with you to meet your particular needs. Many factors have led us to this difficult decision. Our present crew has been very loyal and done a fantastic job, but most of us are coming of age for the hard work associated with asphalt paving. In today’s competitive labor market, we have had misfortune in selecting from the very small pool of skilled construction workers. Likewise, hiring of individuals from the younger generation has also been discouraging. We would like to extend our thankfulness for all the patronage over the past years. Many thanks to our customers and employees. Our success would not have been possible without your loyalty and dedication. We have given this matter a lot of thought, and hopefully, this decision will be for the best. Please wish us luck and keep us in mind for our future endeavors. Sincerely,

Michael J. Gavit President

Patrick J. Gavit VP/Secretary-Treasurer

How Should You Respond to Market “Correction”? As an investor, you may be gaining familiarity with the term “market correction.” But what does it mean? And, more importantly, what does it mean to you? A correction occurs when a key index, such as the S&P 500, declines at least 10% from its previous high. A correction, by deﬁnition, is shortterm in nature and has historically happened fairly regularly – about once a year. However, over the past several years, we’ve experienced fewer corrections, so when we have one now, it seems particularly jarring to investors. How should you respond to a market correction? The answer may depend, to some extent, on your stage of life. • If you’re still working … If you are in the early or middle parts of your working life, you might not have to concern yourself much about a market correction because you have decades to overcome a short-term downturn. Instead of selling stocks, and stock-based investments, to supposedly “cut your losses,” you may ﬁnd that now is a good time to buy more shares of quality companies, when their price is down. Also, you may want to use the opportunity of a correction to become aware of the need to periodically review and rebalance your portfolio. Stocks, and investments containing stocks, often perform well before a correction. If their price has risen greatly, they may account for a greater percentage of the total value of your portfolio – so much so, in fact, that you might become “overweighted” in stocks, relative to your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. That’s why it’s important for you to proactively rebalance your portfolio

– or, during a correction, the market may do it for you. To cite one aspect of rebalancing, if your portfolio ever does become too “stock-heavy,” you may need to add some bonds or other fixed-rate vehicles. Not only can these investments help keep your portfolio in balance, but they also may hold up better during a correction. • If you’re retired … After you retire, you may need to take money from your investment accounts – that is, sell some investments – to help pay for your cost of living. Ideally, however, you don’t want to sell stocks, or stock-based vehicles, during a correction – because when you do, you may be “selling low.” (Remember the most common rule of investing: Buy low and sell high. It’s not always easy to follow, but it’s still pretty good advice.) So, to avoid being forced into selling, you need to be prepared. During your retirement years, try to keep at least a year’s worth of cash instruments on hand as well as short-term fixed income investments. By having this money to draw on, you may be able to leave your stocks alone and give them a chance to recover, post-correction. And it’s important to maintain a reasonable percentage of stocks, and stock-based vehicles, in your portfolio, even during retirement – because these investments may provide the growth necessary to help keep you ahead of inflation. Consequently, as a retiree, you should have a balance of stocks and stock-based vehicles, along with fixed-income vehicles, such as bonds, certificates of deposit, government securities and so on. Being prepared can help you get through a correction – no matter where you are on life’s journey.

Find your perfect match when planning your wedding GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Whether your idea of a perfect wedding day consists of a lively outdoor celebration or an intimate evening gathering, planning the extensive elements involved in any wedding is often labeled as an overwhelmingly stressful experience. But stress and wedding planning donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go hand in hand. According to Katie Gabbard, owner of The Ivy League Florist in downtown Greenville, doing just one thing differently can cut the anxiety of planning in an instant. Her advice? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make absolutely certain that you select vendors and businesses that you feel conďŹ dent about and are comfortable talking toâ&#x20AC;?, says Katie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nearly 90% of your wedding day depends on the vendors youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve chosen to follow through perfectly with your instructions.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working with brides tops my list of favorite things. I absolutely love brainstorming ideas with a bride, tailoring fresh ďŹ&#x201A;owers and colors, and coordi-

nating even the smallest of details so that her vision springs to life. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crucial that a bride feels comfortable expressing her thoughts, revising plans, and asking questions-itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my job to listen and illuminate the ways to achieve everything on her wedding day â&#x20AC;&#x153;wish list.â&#x20AC;? From her experience, Katie urges brides to seek out that spark of passion in each wedding vendor because, â&#x20AC;&#x153;those that love what they do will be enthusiastic about bringing ideas to fruitionâ&#x20AC;?. Choosing the perfect team eliminates worry and gives you the peace of mind that your wedding day will be a happily ever after kind of day. 4 Ways to Bring More Attention to your Reception. * Regardless of whether your reception will have a buffet or a served meal, have guest tables pre-set with dinner plates and service. Even with ďŹ&#x201A;owers or decoration embellishing the tables, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often an

abundance of empty space to contend with. Plates, chargers, goblets, and silverware ďŹ ll the empty space on tables and lend to a thought-out and polished look. * If Pinterest is your go-to for wedding ideas, plan on practicing these projects before your wedding day. Though Pinterest serves as an excellent source for inspiration, projects seldom turn out exactly as envisioned or depicted so pre-wedding day trial runs are wise. * Have assigned seating! The perfect seating plan groups together guests that have a likelihood of having good conversation. It takes some work, but think about your individual guests and their hobbies, stories, and professions, and seat them with others that would ďŹ nd interest in those aspects. No one enjoys struggling for conversation at a table with strangers so pre-planning this detail is a very considerate gesture for your guests. Go one step further and place a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fun factsâ&#x20AC;? card about the speciďŹ c guests seated at each table to get the conversations rolling. * Have goody bags for the kiddos. Keeping the little ones occupied also ensures that their parents will have an enjoyable evening at your event. Head to the dime store and ďŹ ll bags with inexpensive projects like crayons, coloring books, stickers, and stories while avoiding items that are messy, loud, and breakable.

of any variety are available through all times of the year. Fact: Every ďŹ&#x201A;ower has an optimum growing season, when its durability, longevity, quality, and health are all at the highest level. These seasons usually span anywhere from 1-3 months and, during this time, yields of these in-season blooms are high and prices are down. Peony hedges burst out in May through June while hyacinths perfume the air in early spring. When a ďŹ&#x201A;ower variety is no longer in season, it is often, surprisingly, still available but from a very short list of growers. Because the prime season for that ďŹ&#x201A;ower has passed and crops are low, out-of-season ďŹ&#x201A;owers are generally of poorer quality and health while having a much more expensive price tag. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a brideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best interest and budget to utilize fresh ďŹ&#x201A;owers that are in season. Fib: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proper wedding etiquette to provide favors to guests at your wedding. Fact: Though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a thoughtful and generous gesture, favors are not a necessity. The modern notion of providing wedding favors has ballooned into an expensive and timeconsuming aspect. Thousands of websites offer tutorials and avenues on how to handcraft clever favors and offer ways to obtain the supplies. But is it really necessary? Not at all. Especially since the majority of favors are often mistakenly left behind at the reception. Giving back to your guests through a savory meal, beautiful surroundings, and warm company is gift enough. Money saved from skipped favors could be wisely funneled into a different aspect of the wedding. Maybe splurge on a band, bump up the ďŹ&#x201A;owers, or add appetizers to the meal. And always remember that a kind and sincere thank you note sent after the wedding goes much farther in demonstrating your gratitude and polished etiquette than any favor. Fib: Weddings with fresh ďŹ&#x201A;owers cost an arm and a leg. Fact: Undoubtedly, a wedding without bouquets, boutonnieres, or centerpieces is going to be less costly. However, even with these ďŹ&#x201A;ower details incorporated into your day, the price tag doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily need to be astounding. It all boils down to using ďŹ&#x201A;owers at the smartest spots. DeďŹ nitely keep fresh ďŹ&#x201A;ower bouquets for the bride and bridesmaids and bouton-

nieres for the groom and groomsmen because these details will greatly affect pictures. Skip decorations at the actual ceremony site and the wedding aisle because this area is where the least amount of time is spent. However, if embellishment in this area is absolutely necessary, try using pieces that can be used afterwards such as a sweetly painted antique dresser in place of an altar, or large hydrangea bushes that can be planted later in a landscaping project. Guests often spend nearly three to four hours at the wedding reception so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wisest to devote the majority of the decoration budget to this area. Memories from fresh ďŹ&#x201A;owers dotting guest tables, even in small doses, create an unforget-

table impression by lending fragrance, color, and texture to the space. While lush centerpieces are more than lovely and translate into a very stylish statement, large arrangements arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t required. Instead of big centerpieces, consider using a collection of small bottles, each ďŹ lled with stems of charming solitary blooms like dahlias, garden roses, and snapdragons. The visual impact of a grouping of any in-season bloom speaks volumes about taste and style, ďŹ lls the empty spaces on guest tables beautifully, and keeps the costs down. A resourceful ďŹ&#x201A;orist can offer creative ideas on how to create a gorgeous reception while keeping the budget right on course.

Country Bridal and Tux gearing up for prom and bridal season BY SUSAN HARTLEY Staff Writer shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE - Brides looking for the latest in tuxedo colors for their wedding party should consider burgundy, says Lisa Altman, owner of Country Bridal and Tux. “Gray tuxes and suits are still the look, navy is an up and coming style. But the new color this year is burgundy,” Aultman revealed. As a dealer for three tuxedo companies, Aultman said there are more than 800 color choices for brides and grooms to consider. Brides are encouraged to bring in their bridal party colors to coordinate tuxes and suits. With 33 years of ex-

perience, Country Bridal and Tux has been located at its current location - 6475 Horatio-Harris Creek Road – for the past 25 years. Aultman has been in the tuxedo and suit rental business for the past 10 years and has become Darke County’s premiere choice for both bridal and prom tuxedo rental. She also performs bridal gown and bridal wear alterations. Altman suggests that bridal parties start considering tuxedo colors and rental four months in advance of their wedding date. Young men looking for prom tuxes are strongly encouraged to contact Aultman at least a month in advance

of prom. “It’s usually down to the last two weeks before prom,” Aultman explained. “Unless there’s a mother involved, then it’s a month.” The customer base for Country Bridal and Tux hails from all of Darke County as well as eastern Randolph County in Indiana and western Miami County. Aultman personally measures her customers for a guaranteed fit. She also will conduct consultations, with for example, mothers of the bride. “I’ve been sewing for so long, people will come to me just for my comments on the fit. I had a motherof-the-bride bring in five

selections for me to help determine which had the best ﬁt for their body type,” she noted. Aultman said she sewed bridal gowns and bridesmaids dresses for many years before concentrating solely on alterations and tuxedo/suit rentals. Aultman’s commitment to personal service for her customers has led to a successful business. “It’s all about customer service for my word-of-mouth business,” she said. After Valentine’s Day, Aultman’s hours will be 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, with Saturday and Sunday hours by appointment. She also will have extended hours during prom time.

Coffee House series presents Jackson GREENVILLE – Darke County Center for the Arts (DCCA) will present Cleveland-based vocalist Kristine Jackson performing at The Bistro Off Broadway in Greenville on Feb. 25. A part of DCCA’s Coffeehouse Series, the show starts at 7 p.m. “Kristine Jackson’s setlist is not easy to categorize,” said Keith Rawlins, DCCA Artistic Director. “She’s opened for blues gods Buddy Guy and B.B. King, but her material includes traces of country, Motown, gospel, and folk music as well. Her style transcends genres, and can be appreciated by everyone,” Rawlins concluded. Touted as a soulful vocalist with a naturalborn ability to express life

through song, Kristine Jackson, known as KJ, accompanies herself on acoustic guitar. She is a three-time ﬁnalist at the International Blues Competition in Memphis; however, according to Rawlins, KJ may follow a classic Robert Johnson blues song with a number by the Red Hot Chili Peppers or one of her own unique compositions, aptly demonstrating her eclectic skills. DCCA’s Coffeehouse Series presents high-quality artists performing in an inviting casual setting where food and drink are available for purchase. “Audiences have responded enthusiastically to this opportunity to enjoy an excellent show in a friendly, intimate setting,” said

DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan. “Some people bring their friends, others come alone to enjoy an uptown experience in a down-home atmosphere; a good time is had by all,” she concluded. DCCA’s Coffeehouse Series is sponsored by Julie and Tom Graber, Eileen and Steve Litchﬁeld, and Rodney Oda. The Ohio Arts Council helps fund this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. DCCA also receives operating support from the Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial as well as funding from the Ketrow Foundation and Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund.

Lady Wave JV complete 16 win season GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Lady Wave JV basketball team closed out a successful 2015-16 campaign with a 38-27 win over the Sidney Yellow Jackets.

“There are some good things coming for Lady Wave basketball for sure,” said Greenville JV Coach Laura Swigart. The Lady Wave used a Jada Garland three and 2-2 at the line, a Kelsey Weaver basket and a freethrow each from Koryann Elliott and Kayla Shepherd

to take a 9-5 lead after one period. Sidney added eight points to the board in the second period while holding Greenville to seven. The Wave would get two second period threes, one each from Weaver and Garland hitting her second trey of the first half with Shepherd hitting her second free-throw of the day sending the teams to the break with Greenville holding a 16-13 lead. “Weaver and Saki (Nakamura) handled the ball really well today,” said Swigart. “They are young and they are learning. They definitely handled the ball well today.” Sidney made it a one point game at the end of three with the teams going to the final period with Greenville holding a 22-21 advantage. The Wave saved their best for last outscoring the visitors 16-6 in the final period to get a double digit 38-27 win. Jada Garland hit her third and fourth threepointers of the game, Shepherd drilled a three and a two-pointer, Elliot made a basket and a freethrow and Saki Nadamura rounded out the Wave’s fourth quarter scoring with a field goal. “That’s Jada’s game,” said Swigart of Garland’s three-pointers. “When

Jada sees an open shot Jada takes an open shot. She shot the three very well today and that definitely helped us.” Garland led all scorers in the game with 14 points. The Lady Wave JV closed out the season with an impressive 16-6 record. “Two totally different teams,” said Swigart of the beginning of the season to the final game. “We are a very young team. We went through some adversity where (Kelsie) Ruble got hurt, (Mickayla) Cline has been out and Jada Garland had been out and now we didn’t have Lani (Shilt) today because she is sick.” “It definitely brings some adversity but the kids had a goal,” continued Swigart. “After we lost to Butler by one point, I was kinda fired up after the game and I said we had a goal to go undefeated and a goal to win 15-17 games. I said you could have just lost it there and the kids didn’t like that.” “The last few games the kids really started to do basketball things… passing the ball, moving without the basketball, reading people’s defense and making really good passes,” added Swigart. “The last few games they have really improved and really become pretty good basketball players.”

PIQUA – The Greenville boys JV basketball team won a 51-50 thriller over Piqua on the Indians’ home court. “They beat us by 13 the first time around,” said Greenville JV Coach Bart Schmitz. “That just goes to show how much better we are getting.” Troy took a 12-9 first period lead over the Wave hitting four threes. Will Coomer had the hot hand for Greenville knocking down a three, a 2-point basket and going 2-for-2 at the line for seven first quarter points while Daniel Harper added

It just goes to show if you want to work at it you can do great things.” Period No. 2 had both teams scoring 11 points with Kyle Mills duplicating Coomer’s ﬁrst period with a three-pointer, a basket and 2-for-2 at the line. Coomer and Harper added a ﬁeld goal each sending the teams to the break with Piqua leading 23-20. The Wave would get its largest output of the night with 19 points while holding Piqua to 10 points to lead 39-

Mills hitting seven points including two three-pointers and free-throw, Noah Walker and Jordan Preston each with ﬁve points with both knocking down a trey and freshman Colton Zumbrun hitting a basket. Piqua would battle back to tie the Wave at 47-47 before Wave freshman Noah Walker would drill a three with 0:17 showing to give Greenville a 50-47 lead. The Wave defense stopped the Indians on their trip down the court before sending Walker to the line to drop in a free-throw with

He is starting to step it up a little here also.” Piqua would launch a three-point desperation shot hitting all net with 0:00 showing, but it was the Greenville JV team taking home a 51-50 GWOC North win. Kyle Mills led the Wave with 16 points on the night. “Kyle Mills is getting better,” said Schmitz. “When he’s on he’s on and tonight he was on.”

NEW MADISON – The D-III Coldwater Cavaliers representing MAC paid a visit to Tri-Village and went home with a 65-57 loss at the hands of the Patriots. “I couldn’t be more proud of my kids,” said Tri-Village Coach Josh Sagester. “I thought this might be one of the, if not the most-gutsiest efforts we’ve had all year long.” The Cavs used a basket from 6’9” Andy Brunet and a three-pointer from 6’3” Dylan Thobe to lead 5-0 at 7:22 in the ﬁrst period of play. Obviously Coldwater is really good,” Sagester said. “They have the measurable that we really couldn’t match.” Brett Boyter would answer with a Patriots three followed by a Trace Couch basket to even the score at 5-5. A Gavin Richards basket gave Tri-Village a 10-7 lead only to have the Cavaliers go on an 11-0 run to lead 18-10. The Patriots would get a Couch basket and a Richards’ bucket to close out ﬁrst period scoring with Coldwater holding an 1814 lead. A Couch basket, the Cavs 1-2 at the line and a Richards’ three-pointer had the score knotted at 19-19 early in the second. Back-to-back Coldwater treys had the Patriots down 25-19 followed by seven unanswered T-V points putting the home team in the lead 26-25. The Cavs’ took advantage of their size with Brunet getting a tip-in and a

nal 1:31 of the first half to take a 30-29 at the break by way of a Couch basket and Knox Morris going 2-2 at the line. A Coldwater triple in the opening seconds of the third period had the visitors up 32-30 followed by a Tyler VanWinkle threepointer giving the Patriots a 35-34 advantage. Brunet would give Coldwater their final lead of the night at 34-33 with 6:26 showing on the third period clock. A Couch basket with 0:00 showing had the Patriots taking a 43-39 lead to the final period of play. The Cavs made it a twopoint game to open fourth quarter play with a basket off a steal to trail 43-41. Six unanswered Patriots’ points had Tri-Village pushing its lead to 49-41 and would use the free-throw line down the stretch to take a 65-57 win over the Cavs. “Up seven or eight with three minutes to go and we’re not going to release it,” Sagester said. “We did a good job of taking care of it for the most part.” The final period the Patriots got 9-of-10 at the line from VanWinkle, 3-4 from Jonny Wilson and 2-2 from Richards. Brandon Peters knocked down two baskets in the fourth and Boyter and VanWinkle added a goal each. “We played with an awful lot of heart tonight,” Sagester stated. “We have a lot of guys that have accepted their roles with pride.”

Franklin Monroe claims 8th grade CCC tournament title BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

PITSBURG – After opening their season with a loss, the 8th grade Lady Jets of Franklin Monroe won 16 games straight and the Cross County Conference tournament championship. On Saturday, the Lady Jets played Arcanum, who was their only loss of the year, for the CCC championship at Franklin Monroe. Both teams battled it out with the contest being deadlocked at 30-30 after regulation. The Lady Jets took control in overtime, outscoring Arcanum 10-1 and winning the game by a ﬁnal score of 40-31. “The girls played so well all season long,” said FM 7th and 8th grade coach

Kip Gray. “They go out and do what we ask every time… They make my job easy as a coach!” This was Gray’s ﬁrst season as coach for the junior high teams. He has been the junior varsity coach at Franklin Monroe for ﬁve years prior. “The future for girls high school basketball at FM looks extremely bright,” he added. The Lady Bees from Bethel took the 7th grade title, with FM being knocked out of the tournament in the second round. The Lady Jets 8th grade team consisted of Audrey Cable, Corina Conley, Belle Cable, Chloe Peters, Chloe Brumbaugh and Taylor Armstrong. They were coach by Kip and Malory Gray and Gene Cullers.

LYNN, Ind. – For the first time since 2003 the Union City Lady Indians basketball team can call themselves Sectional Champions. UC won the title after knocking off Tri High 49-47 last Saturday night at Sectional host Randolph Southern High School. After beating the Lady Titans in December, Union City knew they were looking for revenge and would do their best to stop the inside scoring threats of junior forwards Baylee Hartman and Courtney Wise. The Lady Indians jumped out in front early to hold on to a lead in the first quarter. The UC offense was able readjust to the Tri defense and behind the 3-point sharp shooting of junior Kelsey Zimmers take a 31-21 lead into the locker room at the break. “I told Kelsey how proud I was of her tonight and how she played… she really stepped up tonight,” said UC Coach Sarah Hines. “She came out and hit some huge 3’s for us tonight. She was confident and wanted to shoot the ball. She was an answer to a lot of their (Tri) 3-pointers, and we needed that!” The third quarter has been the Lady Indians nemesis for most of the season and it wasn’t much different in the Section Championship game. Union City was outscored

in the third 13-7 as the Lady Titans narrowed the lead to 38-36 heading into the final eight minutes. Tri tied the contest at 38 just sixty seconds into the final period before taking the lead by as much as four at one point, before sophomore guard Justiss Cantu nailed a crucial three. Then, with the game tied at 47 a piece with over a minute to play, the Lady Indians came off a timeout with possession. As the clock ticked down, it was obvious UC was holding out for the final shot and the win. As the game clock showed under 10 seconds to play, the Lady Indians got the ball inside to Wise who put it up and in with just three seconds remaining. The Lady Titans were unable to get a final shot

off and that was it… Union City was ready to celebrate! “Courtney (Wise) struggled tonight a little bit on the offensive end, but she hit the shot that really mattered and came through in the end when we really needed it,” Hines added. “It wasn’t one or two making it happen… it was everyone who played a role in us getting this win,” Hines continued. “We told the girls that when you play together as a team you are very good… and that is what they did tonight. It was a total team effort.” Union City were led in scoring by Zimmers with 14 points, Cantu with 11 and senior Madeline Adams who added 10 points. Hartman scored six and

bench with seven players getting in the first period scoring column knocking down five threes, seven two-pointers and 3-4 at the line to take a 32-13 lead after one. Clay Guillozet led Greenville with eight first quarter points including a trey, Trae Wood buried a three and Isaiah Gable added a basket. Greenville would battle back in the second quarter putting up 19 point while the Warriors were just two better adding 21 to the board sending the teams to the break with Wayne holding a 53-32 advantage. “I thought we got better at some things we needed to get better at,” Bashore said. Aaron Rich and Guillozet paced the Wave with six points each, Gable was adding five and Devin Hendrix added 2-2 at the line in the second period. Wayne used six threepointers to outpace Greenville 23-12 in period No.

The final period had Wayne scoring 20 points to Greenville’s 17 for a final 96-61 score in the matchup of two Division I GWOC Ohio schools. “We are in a brutal stretch of games right now to get ready for the tournament,” said Bashore. “We are just looking to get better and I thought we were much better tonight.” Guillozet accounted for seven fourth quarter points including 3-3 at the line, Gable hit a three and a goal for five, Peter Pandy a basket and free-throw for three points and a Rich

Wave wrestlers split at Troy BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

TROY – The Greenville Wrestlers traveled to Troy for a Wednesday night Varsity Wrestling Double Dual meet. The Green Wave faced the Piqua Indians in their ﬁrst meet of the night falling by a 34-18 score. “There are some things we have to work on… some things I need to ﬁx before tournaments start,” said Greenville Coach David Guillozet. “Some of the kids wrestled really well. I’m looking forward to seeing how they do in sectionals.” The West Carrollton Pirates were next up for the Greenville wrestler with the Wave winning by a 3712 score. Jeremy Eshbaugh wrestled really well today,” said

Gillozet. “He had a couple of decent kids he wrestled and he went out there and pinned both of them. He did a good job.” Missing on the mat but traveling with the team was Wave 182 pound senior William Nibert Jr. “We’re saving him,” Guillozet said of Nibert. “He has been dealing with some toe issues so just ﬁgured we would let him go this week, hit it hard again next week and get ready for sectionals. Get him to districts and hopefully to state.” Nibert leads the GWOC North 182 with an impressive 80.7 winning percentage with a record of 21-5 including 13 pins while Troy’s Davin Snyder leads the 182 in wins with a 23-8 record with a 74.1 winning percentage including 8 pins.

GREENVILLE – The state’s top ranked big school as well as one of the nation’s top ranked teams traveled to Greenville doing the expected by defeating the Wave 96-61 to stay undefeated on the season. “For who we were going up against I thought we played really well,” said Greenville Coach Michael Bashore. “They are just overpowering. Most of their spots… two D-1 kids, another kid going to Findlay, a sophomore kid who will be a D-I player.” The ﬁnal score may not be an indicator of the Wave’s excellent play as the Wayne Warriors simply overmatched the smaller Green Wave team. “All-in-all I was really pleased with the effort,” Bashore stated. “We knew we were up against it, but our kids didn’t back down and played hard all the way to the end.” Wayne took advantage of a deep and talented

Groundhog breakfast draws a crowd SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

Dr. Peter Lachiewicz was welcomed as a visiting professor to the Saint James School of Medicine in Anguilla.

Dr. Lachiewicz promotes Greenville in Caribbean RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Recruiting doctors to small, out-of-the-way communities isn’t an easy task. The bright lights of big cities tend to cast a shadow on the cornﬁelds of rural communities. It may be doctors, of all ages, are looking for more social and leisure opportunities outside their ofﬁce or hospital. Perhaps the lure is a bigger paycheck or better working conditions. Peter W. Lachiewicz, DO, FACOG, of Western Ohio Obstetrics and Gynecology, disagrees with the notion big cities equal better opportunities and has become one of Darke County’s biggest cheerleaders. The New York transplant sings the praises of this community wherever he goes. Dr. Lachiewicz recently returned from Anguilla, a British territory in the Caribbean, where he served as a visiting professor at the Saint James School of Medicine. The school is located just outside Anguilla’s capital city, The Valley. In addition to the school, students receive training at the 32-bed Princess Alexandra Hospital. His message to the students – don’t discount working in a rural com-

munity like Greenville. He said he speciﬁcally reached out to three students at the college who are from rural communities in Ohio. “We should always be trying to recruit,” he said. The school boasts nearly 170 medical students with most coming from the U.S. and only a handful from Anguilla. Dr. Lachiewicz understands attending medical school in the Caribbean is not the typical way of becoming a doctor. However, they are required to pass the same tests and boards as any other doctor in the U.S. to earn their licensure. He believes these students may even be more motivated because they’ve left their friends, family and country to go to attend school in a foreign land. He encouraged his colleagues to always have a recruitment mindset. He hopes by developing and building relationships Darke County will ultimately beneﬁt. “You never know what you will bring back here,” Dr. Lachiewicz said. He warned that towns like Greenville should never become complacent when it comes to trying to attract doctors. Although Dr. Lachiewicz has trained in the big cities at Case Western Reserve and the Mayo Clinic, he admits he has small town values.

GREENVILLE – Representatives from businesses around the county met Friday, February 5 for the ninth annual Groundhog Day Breakfast, sponsored by the Darke County Chamber of Commerce. The event was held at Romer’s Catering & Entertainment Facility. The theme for the breakfast was Energy Leadership, with Joni Fedders, president of Aileron as the keynote speak Aileron, a non-proﬁt organization dedicated to helping small businesses thrive and grow, was founded by Clay Mathile, former owner of Iams. Fedders is a former Iams employee hired by Aileron as the ﬁrst full-time employee to build the company’s Center for Entrepre-

neurial Education. Fedders, of Tipp City, founded two successful businesses before joining Aileron, where she had been a client to learn business strategies. On Friday, her remarks centered on a seven-level framework, which was developed to assist employers and employees become conscious of their thoughts and actions and to see what energy level they use in their roles as business leaders as well as in their personal lives. The seven levels of leadership Fedders introduced included core thoughts, emotions and actions. For example, Level 1 is a feeling of being powerless with “why bother” thoughts, while at Level 7, individuals have an “absolute passion” as they greet their day. Fedders led the group in thought-provoking exercises, asking those who

wished to use their phones to log onto a website and record answers to a series of questions. Answers then popped up on a screen for all to see. One point Fedders concentrated on was how to

recognize the truth when confronted with situations. “Suspend judgement until you ﬁnd out what the truth is,” she explained. “Challenge what you believe to be true. Change your thought instead of your emotion.” Also in attendance Friday was Eric Brown of the Dayton Area Board of Realtors. “This year has been a year of change,” Brown noted, with the merger of the Darke County Board of Realtors with the Dayton group. “Our (Darke County) agents are more informed and equipped to serve clients. Home sales are up. Unfortunately, inventory in Darke County is low,” he said, pointing out that one highlight for future home sales in the county is a new housing development in Arcanum. “Better things are coming in the industry.”

Woodland students observe ‘I Love My School’ month SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – During the month of February, students at Woodland Primary are showing just how much they love their school. The school’s “I Love My School” theme is encouraging the 600 kindergarten through second-graders to mind their p’s and q’s – be on their very best behavior. The program, managed by Jennifer Statzer, assistant principal, encourages students to obey ﬁve rules: - Respecting themselves, others and things - Being prepared - Keeping their school neat and clean - Listening and following directions - Always trying their best “Students will get ‘caught’ doing these things, taking the initiative to do it on their own,” Statzer explained. Teachers were sent a ﬂier with the rules listed and are encouraged to keep an eye out for best behaviors. Once a student gets ‘caught,’ they are presented a paper heart listing their name and good deed and are invited to staple their heart to a large bulletin board in the main hallway for all to see. Not only will students get to display their well-deserved hearts, their names also are read – along with their good deed – during morning announcements. Statzer said this not only brings attention to individual students, but also gives their classmates ideas on how they can behave. On Thursday, Feb. 11, two students put their hearts on the wall and talked about what they’d done to deserve the honor. “I cleaned up my mess,” said kindergartner Taghan Lutz, 6. When asked what kind of mess she’d created, Taghan explained that her class had eaten cupcakes in celebration of a class-

mate’s birthday. Taghan is the daughter of Ashley Lutz and Steven Smith. Second-grader Graham Bayer, 7, was noticed by his teacher Tara Ford for his good behavior during the school day. “Because I was good at the end of the day. I didn’t yell all day,” he said, agreeing that his positive behavior meant he was showing respect for his teacher. Graham is the son of Cody Suman and Savana and Benjamin Shaltry. The school’s five rules were chosen from the book The Essential 55 by Ron Clark, a nationally recognized teacher of the year. Clark’s book identifies 55 behaviors for successful students and success in the classroom. “We did a book study and chose five of the rules to help students create positive actions,” Statzer said. “The teachers introduced the program in their classrooms.” At the end of the month, on Feb. 25, students who have been caught following the five rules will be

Solid waste district to purchase cherry picker; install cameras SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – Darke County Commissioners have approved the purchase of a cherry picker for use by the county’s solid waste district. The cost - $16,500 - will be paid from the district’s meth clean-up fund, said commission chairman Mike Stegall. Krista Fourman, solid waste district director, said the meth fund was established to assist with the clean-up of meth labs. “Years ago we were having lots of meth labs and clean-up was very expensive,” Fourman said. “We asked for money to assist with the clean-up.” Darke County Sheriff’s

deputies have since been trained to assist with the demolition of meth labs, Fourman explained, which allows monies from the meth fund to be used for other needs. “What we ended up doing is buying suits that can be used over and over again. It saved us a lot of money by the sheriff’s department assisting with meth labs,” Fourman said. According to Fourman, monies for the meth fund are set aside from the solid waste district’s regular yearly budget, granted by commissioners. One of the main reasons Fourman requested the purchase of a cherry picker is to install cameras throughout the county. “We received a grant from Ohio EPA, which

we will use to install cameras to catch people who are putting trash illegally in the county’s recycling bins,” Fourman said. “We also want to catch the people who are illegally dumping on side roads. The cameras will be placed in our problem areas.” The county’s maintenance staff will install cameras and also will be able to use the cherry picker for other maintenance projects. Fourman said she will continue to add money to the meth fund. “The EPA encouraged it (the fund) a few years ago. I’m not sure how many counties ended up doing it. If we were to have a disaster that involved the entire county the money could be used wherever needed.”

DARKE CO. – The Darke County Board of Developmental Disabilities (Darke DD) has experienced several significant changes over the past few months. Historically, Darke DD has provided facility-based services to Darke County residents having developmental disabilities. Darke DD has always hired direct service staff to provide services based on an individual’s person-centered service plan developed by Darke DD staff. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) – a federal agency – has determined that a conflict of interest exists for agencies that develop service plans and also hire staff who provide Medicaid funded direct services identified in the plan. Therefore,

Darke DD will no longer hire direct service staff who provide direct services to eligible individuals while also developing the individual’s service plan. They will continue in the role of developing the person-centered service plan and pay for the services needed in the plan but will no longer provide staffing for the direct services identified in the plan. Although Darke DD doesn’t provide staffing for these direct services, they continue to be responsible for recruiting providers to our county, determining eligibility, developing the service plan, monitoring services, coordinating community connections, identifying and purchasing housing, and funding the services required to meet

Nick Wheeler and Zak Peele will bring the Invasive Insect Workshop to MUPL.

Students will speak about invasive insects WEST MILTON – Sometimes the littlest things can have the greatest inﬂuence. Nick Wheeler and Zak Peele will explore how invasive insects and other vegetative species can have a signiﬁcant impact on the Ohio habitat at their “Invasive Insect Workshop” 6:30-8 p.m., Feb. 18 at the MiltonUnion Public Library. Wheeler and Peele are both seniors in the Miami Valley Career Technical Center Environmental Resource Management program. They will focus on species such as the Asian Longhorn Beetle and the Emerald Ash Borer, showing attendees how to recognize these insects, how the insects affect vegetation, and what can be done to prevent future damage. The program will include power points, examples, pictures, and yes, specimens too. Wheeler’s home school base is Milton-Union High School. He holds the MVCTC Sentinel position and is working in a co-op with the Montgomery County Water and Soil Conservation District. Wheeler plans on continuing his work in Montgomery County and attending Sinclair Community College for civil engineering. Peele’s home school

is Franklin Monroe High School. He is involved in the MVCTC FFA chapter, and plans on continuing his education post-graduation. The presentation is free, and will include light refreshments and door prizes. For more information about this or other programs, call 698-5515 or visit www.mupubliclibrary. org. Milton-Union Public Library is located at 560 S. Main St., West Milton.

the needs of eligible individuals. They continue to provide early intervention services to children who qualify. At this time, early intervention services are not funded through Medicaid and therefore don’t follow the same restrictions as other services. Why is Darke DD making all of these changes? Darke DD isn’t the only developmental disabilities board making these changes. Changes in federal regulations have prompted all county boards of DD in Ohio to transition to a new service/business model. Counties in Ohio are at different points in their transition, but all are required to follow regulations from CMS. Did Wayne Industries close? You may have seen recent articles about a new provider at the Wayne Industries facility. You may have read a recent legal notice regarding the dissolution of the Wayne Industries, Inc., Board of Trustees. As you may be aware, the Wayne Industries, Inc. Board of Trustees worked in coordination with the Darke County Board of Developmental Disabilities to provide a conduit for work activities for eligible individuals at the Wayne Industries facility. Now that Darke DD is not providing direct services, a new private agency has ﬁlled the work option role of Darke DD and Wayne Industries, Inc. This private agency leases space at the

Wayne Industries facility and hires staff to support eligible individuals in completing contract work and adult day supports. Darke DD continues to fund Medicaid services at certified provider agencies across the county based on established Medicaid rates for day services and transportation. Individuals can choose from a number of Medicaid certified day services, transportation, and employment providers. Each individual has ‘free choice of provider’ when choosing the service provider they feel will best meet their unique needs.
