March for Babies is a week later than in previous years GREENVILLE – This year’s March of Dimes’ March for Babies has begun. While the walk is still a couple of months away, the organization held its annual kickoff celebration on Feb. 24. There is one big change for the 2015 walk. According to Bill LaFramboise, chairman for March for Babies, the walk has been moved to the ﬁrst Saturday in May – May 2. This is a week later than in previous years. “The easiest way to remember this date is that it is Derby Day,” he said. The event will include a 5 mile walk, 1 mile family fun route, kid zone activities for kids 10 and under, entertainment, breakfast and taste samplings after the walk. March of Dimes began as the fundraising arm to eradicate polio, but that direction eventually changed to helping prevent birth defects. LaFramboise added the money raised in Darke County will stay in Ohio to help fund research, education and families. Statistics show one in eight children born in Ohio are premature (before the 37th week). The cost of a premature birth is 12 times greater than that of an uncomplicated delivery. In 2012, Ohio witnessed 16,000 births that were earlier than expected. LaFramboise stressed the importance of raising funds to help families and diminish the economic impact premature births have on individuals and the economy. This year’s goal has been

set at $110,000. If met, Darke County would better its previous fundraising record set two years ago. According to Brian Hammond, community director for March of Dimes, Darke County continues to be one of the top fundraising counties in the state per capita. Those gathered for the kickoff event were able to witness how important the efforts of March of Dimes and March for Babies have been when they were introduced to Mikayla Kutter and her family. Although she is a healthy 13 year old now, life didn’t start very well for the Arcanum-Butler Junior High student. Mikayla said she was born in the 24th week of her mom’s pregnancy. To put it in perspective, she was

due in December and was born in August. At birth she weighed 1lb 5oz and was 12-inches long. Mikayla spent 3 1/2 months in the hospital and saw doctors and specialists nearly every week for the ﬁrst year of her life. LaFramboise urged everyone to walk as individuals, form teams or get their businesses or employers involved. Mikayla said, “Everyone who supports March of Dimes is a hero in my book.” Some of the businesses that were involved in the 2014 March for Babies were recognized at the kickoff event. Greenville Technology, Inc. (GTI) was recognized for raising the most money ($40,000). Not only is GTI number one in the county, the local company

was ranked 13th for most successful campaign of any business in Ohio. The company is hoping to move up in the rankings this year. Also recognized as a top fundraiser were Midmark, Wayne HealthCare, Greenville Federal and Second National Bank. Persons or organizations that plan to form a team can join March of Dimes on March 12, 5:30-6:30 p.m., at the Brethren Retirement Community for the Team Captain Kickoff. More information can be found at www. marchofdimes.org or call Hammonds at 3299274. Joining LaFramboise on this year’s leadership team are Wayne and Sharon Deschambeau, Regina Duff, Mitch Eiting and Julie Monnin.

Community gets update in ﬁght against drug abuse GREENVILLE – “This Vivitrol? Get it!” said a woman in the audience. BOB Darke County ROBINSON Chamber of Associate Editor bluebagmedia.com Commerce Director Sharon Deschambeau told her it’s not a cure. “It is to me,” the woman said. “It’s hope! I want my son home.” Earlier she had told the panelists her son was addicted to heroin. She said he went to the Monday program. “He was a model resident,” she said. He gets arrested and goes to jail… “He’s a model prisoner!” She added he’s there now. “Tough love. My son’s butt is still in jail.” Deschambeau had just told the audience about Vivitrol. It is a non-narcotic “treatment” that controls the physical need for heroin. She said it will be a once a month injection. However, there needs to be a support system. They are currently putting systems and processes in place. “We have more than 60 cases in court waiting for this,” she said.

A 9-member panel presentation sponsored by the Darke County League of Women Voters was held Feb. 24 on the Edison Darke County Campus. The purpose, according to LWV Co-President Karen Brooks, was to provide the community with the latest information possible on the drug issue and what was being done about it. It attracted over 30 concerned residents. The first point the panel made about drug addiction was how it impacted others. “A drug addict doesn’t hold down an 8 to 5 job,” said one panelist. “They steal from neighbors, relatives, anyone they can.” Attendees were told to keep lights on, doors and cars locked… an addict will seldom force his way into a home or car. Unlocked doors represent “crimes of opportunity.” Darke County Chief Deputy Mark Whittaker told the group in 2011 his office had 84 cases where drug evidence was involved; 30 were trafficking. In 2014 his office had 240 cases involving drugs, with 110 of them for trafficking. “Heroin is very cheap,”

Whittaker said. “Addicts can get ‘caps’ for $5 each in Dayton; they come back here and sell them for $10 each.” Darke County Coroner Joe VanVickle later told the audience dealers will have a ‘drug holiday.’ They offer 2 for 1 deals… “bring your friends…” They know you’ll be back on Monday with a “TV you’ve stolen… or grandma’s brooch.” Heroin is highly addictive. An audience member asked how many times someone needs to use heroin to become addicted. Greenville Police Chief Dennis Butts’ response was immediate… “One!” he said. The panel noted the game has recently changed. “Now they’re using synthetic stuff (to ‘cut’ the heroin),” said VanVickle. “We always seem to be behind the 8-ball.” He told the group in 2007 he saw his ﬁrst heroin death in the county. “So far this year there have been six drug related deaths… only one of them was probably heroin.” He added addicts don’t have a clue what they’re getting, how their heroin

is being cut. “An addict can go to the same dealer twice in one day and get different cuts.” Whittaker told the audience the United States was the biggest user of drugs in the world. “We are a prescription society,” he said. Six panelists on the left of the room, in addition to Butts, Whittaker, VanVickle and Deschambeau, were Greenville Police Detective Jason Marion and Darke County Shelter from Violence Victim Advocate Annie Sonner. Deschambeau told the audience Vivitrol was the ﬁrst of six pro-

cesses they hope to put in place due to the efforts of a combined community: the chamber, business, government, religious groups, health services and more. Three panelists in the front of the room on the right were Jodi Long, Director of Clinical Services and Evaluation, Tri-County Board of Recovery & Mental Health Services; Jerri Lynn Stanley, Clinical Supervisor, and Cynthia Cook, Executive Director, of Recovery & Wellness Centers of Midwest Ohio. All panelists offered input regarding the prob-

lems of dealing with the drug issue… ranging from the physical addiction, the drug culture, treatment and the need for a support system, and to get in front of the problem – prevention – rather than behind it. One comment Cook made stood out for those trying to understand… “The ﬁrst time (an addict tries heroin) is ‘freaking amazing!’” she said. “From that point on they chase that ﬁrst high, but they never get it back… it ravages a person.”

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT

“I gave it back,” the defendant said as he was arrested On February 22 police responded to the 100 block of W. Fifth St. regarding a theft from a vehicle. The defendant, Jacob Henderson, had been observed by two friends of the victim, Mayor Michael Bowers. Henderson allegedly took a tablet and some ﬁles from Bowers’ truck and ﬂed on foot. Bowers and

a Darke County employee chased him. Bowers called Greenville Police. Henderson was told to stop, that police were on their way… Henderson put the tablet down then continued to run. He was located on Armstrong Street and arrested. He stated to the ofﬁcer, “I gave it back.” Henderson

was transported to the Darke County jail. Found on the defendant were two phones and what appeared to be a woman’s watch with a crystal face surrounded by diamond looking gems. He stated all, including the watch, were his; one phone was for music, the other was his Obama phone. Henderson was cited for theft and vehicle trespass.

VEHICLE THEFT

On February 16 police were dispatched to Farmer’s State Bank, 675 Wagner Ave., regarding a vehicle theft. The vehicle had been repossessed from Shane Rayburn on Jan. 22 and was last seen on Feb. 14. Rayburn’s cosigner said the suspect

had told him he was going to take the vehicle back whether the bank allowed it or not. Police tried unsuccessfully to contact Rayburn at home and on his cell phone. Another individual, Jonathan Houdeshell, had been seen driving the vehicle. Police contacted Houdeshell’s girlfriend, Taryn Brewer; they brought the vehicle to the police station. They also brought another witness; all three told police Rayburn sold the vehicle to Houdeshell for $450 and a television as a down payment. Houdeshell was to get the title when the rest of the money was paid. The vehicle was released to the bank and a report was made to the Darke County Prosecutor for prosecution. On February 20 police were dispatched to 1110 Front St. regarding a stolen vehicle. The victim, Glen Bryant, started his truck to let it warm up and went inside. When he went back out it was gone. The vehicle is a Ford F-150 with a Harley Davidson logo in the back window. The vehicle was entered into L.E.A.D.S. On February 23 police were dispatched to McMillers Carry Out, 601 Martin St., regarding a stolen vehicle. The victim, Shannon Harter, said he had left the keys on the driver’s side floorboard and the headlights on. He’d only been inside McMillers for about five minutes. When he came back out the vehicle was gone. The vehicle is registered to Matthew Buckingham, who confirmed both he and Harter use the vehicle. The vehicle had two wolf head stickers on it, one on each back side window. The vehicle was

entered into L.E.A.D.S.

DRUGS

On February 3 police were dispatched to Greenville Junior High School regarding a student suspected of having abused drugs (marijuana). A student had become ill and reported to the school nurse. When he returned to class some other students told the teacher he’d made comments about being sick because of using drugs the night before. When questioned the student admitted to smoking marijuana with two other students. The marijuana was provided by two older boys, possibly 19 or 20, according to one of the students. One juvenile said the older boys kept pressuring the students to “get high.” The students described smoking the marijuana out of a clear glass smoking pipe (bowl) with a black end. The marijuana and bowl were already on the table when the juveniles arrived. Police interviewed one of the suspects, Austin Tilton, who denied ever smoking with the three juveniles. The other, Austin Parkman, already has a warrant on him on an unrelated case and has allegedly been avoiding the police. The ﬁle will be sent to the Darke County prosecutor on charges for Corrupting Another with Drugs. Charges have not yet been issued for the three juveniles.

DUI

On February 22 police observed a gold GMC Sierra parked in front of 418 S. Broadway. The vehicle appeared to be running and the person in the driver seat was slumped over, possibly unconscious. The ofﬁcer knocked on

the driver’s window with no response. He opened the door of the vehicle and woke the man, later identified as James Grote, up. The officer detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the inside of the vehicle. He also observed an open can of beer and an open bottle of beer in the center console. There was a small cut over Grote’s right eye that appeared to be bleeding. Greenville Township Rescue was called. Grote’s speech was slurred and his eyes appeared bloodshot and glossy. The defendant said he didn’t know what happened and refused to say where he was prior to being in his vehicle. He was transported to Wayne Health Care at his own request. Once there he was asked to perform field sobriety tests. The officer explained the tests several times at Grote’s request; the defendant eventually refused to take them. He was placed under arrest for Physical Control. He agreed to give a blood sample which Wayne Healthcare staff took and packaged in an OVI kit. Grote was given citations for physical control and open container, then released to a friend.

WARRANT

On February 25 police stopped a vehicle on N. Broadway Street for the vehicle being unsafe. A suspect (unnamed in the report) had a warrant on him for failure to appear at pretrial on the original charge of Underage Consumption. He was incarcerated at the Darke County jail.

Edison DCC to participate in workforce education BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR www.bluebagmedia.com

GREENVILLE – “We are aggressively pursuing Workforce Development training as part of diversifying our offerings to the community,” said Rhonda Rich, Edison Darke County Campus Coordinator and Success Advisor. “At the same time we’ll continue to serve the needs of traditional and CCP (College Credit Plus) students,” she added, noting this will allow the college to serve the overall community better. Rich said a new campus director, Chad Beanblossom, has been hired to, among his other duties, spearhead this diversiﬁcation. Beanblossom, formerly at IU East, is a Darke County native and Mississinawa Valley graduate. A Greenville resident, he is also a former Edison Community College student. He started his new position Feb. 27. The approach is to give local business and industry “what they want.” Rich said this could be industrial management, supply chain management, manufacturing and a variety of other options as needed.

“Traditional courses have to be set up early, especially for CCP students,” Rich added. “Others (in the Workforce Development ﬁeld) we can turn on a dime if the business community tells us there’s a need.” One option is to offer more alternative programs, such as webﬂex models that meet one night a week with comparable online work required outside of class. Rich said one of Beanblossom’s plans is to start an advisory board to determine current and anticipated needs. “We want to offer people the training they need to get in the door of a business and move up!” she said, adding these same businesses will be getting the resources they need in Darke County. “We will be working together as a team.” Legislation passed and signed into law in 2014 created CCP as a replacement for the Post Secondary Education Opportunity (PSEOP) and Dual Enrollment programs. CCP will be used by school districts to continue allowing their students to gain college credit while still in high school. (Search CCP on

FM Kindergarten registration rescheduled PITSBURG – Franklin Monroe Elementary kindergarten registration for the 2015-2016 school year has been rescheduled for March 5, in the cafetorium at 6 p.m. Registration will last approximately one hour. Parents are welcome to bring their kindergarten-aged child. Please park in the south parking lot and enter through the cafetorium doors. The students will be able to meet the kindergarten teachers. Children being reg-

istered for kindergarten must be ﬁve years of age by Aug. 1, 2015 to be eligible to enter. Parents registering children are reminded they need to bring their child’s birth certiﬁcate, Social Security card, immunization records, proof of residency (copy of utility bill, bank statement, lease agreement, etc.) and custody papers (if applicable). In the event of inclement weather that evening, please check our website for a cancellation at www. fmelementary.com.

Bluebag Media for a series of articles on the program and how it will be used by local school districts). Rich said all Darke County school districts have signed a letter of agreement with the Edison Darke County Campus. While larger districts, such as Greenville, will be able to offer many courses in their own buildings, smaller districts, such as Ansonia and Mississinawa Valley, will likely continue to send most of their students to Edison. With an overall student population of a little over 450, nearly half of Edison’s student enrollment is PSEOP. Student response to the new program is mixed. While some look forward to not having to leave their campus others prefer the college atmosphere Edison offers. Rich said Edison will still offer the same courses it has in the past to meet the needs of traditional college students and CCP students from smaller schools, there just won’t be as many sections.

GREENVILLE – While we’re still waiting on Mother Nature to cooperate, the Darke County Parks are not cancelling our plans to celebrate the Maple Syrup Season! Join the Parks on March 7, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. for Maple Sugarin’ at the Prairie. This early spring day at Shawnee Prairie offers guided tours through history and science as they learn the process of turning sap into syrup. After the tour through the woods, they will visit the Sugar Shack, where you can warm up in the steamﬁlled evaporator room as the sap spends countless hours on a boil to reduce it down to syrup. Then head out to the Log House and

Blacksmith Shop where you can become immersed in 18th century life and culture with historic interpreters. Finally, complete the day at the Nature Center where the gift shop will be full of maple goodies for your sweet tooth. The Friends of the Parks will once again be serving a hearty breakfast of wafﬂes, sausage, juice, coffee and of course pure Ohio Maple

Syrup. Breakfast will be served from 8 a.m.-noon. Tickets are available for a $5 donation at the door or you can stop by the Nature Center to purchase your tickets ahead of time. There will also be a 50/50 rafﬂe. Additional sausage is available for only $1. Carryout is available. For more information, call the Nature Center at 548-0165.

reportedly one in 10 taxpayers who have failed the test so far. According to the Ohio Department of Taxation, as many as half of those ﬁling online for a refund this year could receive a letter requiring this test be taken. Her two alternatives, according to the letter, were to call a toll free number for another chance to pass the test over the phone or prepare copies of up to seven types of information

– including social security card and driver’s license – and mail it to Columbus. “I tried calling twice,” she said. “Both times I waited 40 minutes before hanging up.” She said she wasn’t sending her personal information. “I’ll give up my refund before I do that.” State Representative Jim Buchy strongly urged taxpayers not to do that. “It’s their money,” he said. “Keep calling.

problems passing the test. Buchy said conceptually he has no problem with the state’s efforts to ﬁght fraud. “I know someone who got hacked,” he said. “There is a lot of theft going on.” At the same time he’s heard many concerns from constituents. “They’ve had to answer a lot of questions that were none of the state’s business.” He said they’re asking the tax department for some help on this. It’s early in the tax season. “Discussions will be going on about this year,” he said. “We will be addressing it to make it better next year.” Buchy’s ofﬁce said constituents should call - 614466-6344 - if they are having trouble. “This is the type of situation we can help with. Our job is to help folks go through the process… get the proper service.”

Do you have any old Arcanum Alumni Organization materials? It was recently mentioned that years ago there were some really old historical records from when the Alumni Association was ﬁrst started in the early 1900s; these were old hard-bound journals that had been handed down from chairperson to chairperson through the years – somewhere they have been misplaced or forgotten – if anyone knows where they are or perhaps forgot they had them, the AAA Committee would love to have them back.

ON YOUR MIND

Addressing trade cheats to save jobs There isn’t much Democrats and Republicans can agree on these SHERROD days, but BROWN one idea U.S. SENATOR is uniting senators on both sides of the aisle. This month I joined my colleagues of both political parties to announce the introduction of the Currency Undervaluation Investigation Act, to stand up to Chinese currency manipulation. This bipartisan plan could create five million jobs, increase our GDP by as much as $720 billion, and provide a shot in the arm to American manufacturing—all at no cost to taxpayers. China’s currency manipulation has been a problem for years, resulting in artificially expensive American imports to China and artificially cheap Chinese exports to the U.S. This puts our American manufacturers at a serious disadvantage. Currency manipulation has already cost us up to 5 million jobs and continues to be a drag on our economy. Diplomatic efforts to address this cheating simply aren’t working—and we’ll continue to lose jobs if we don’t take action. That’s why we are introducing this legislation which would require the

Department of Commerce to investigate currency manipulation as an illegal subsidy – just like all other illegal subsidy allegations made by U.S. companies. The Department of Commerce already has the authority to investigate currency manipulation—but it has declined to do so. Instead of addressing our growing trade deficit, we are pursuing trade deals with countries who manipulate their currencies. If we are going to continue to pursue an aggressive trade promotion agenda, we must combine it with equally strong trade enforcement. That means fighting back against currency manipulation. Foreign companies who skirt the rules are actively undermining the effectiveness of trade laws designed to protect workers and ensure American businesses can compete. This bipartisan plan would mean more products stamped with “Made in the USA,” and fewer stamped “Made in China.” We know that our American workers are the best in the world, and that with a level playing field they will out-compete anyone. I will work with the senators of all political stripes to attach this bill to any legislation going to the president’s desk, and make sure China is playing by the same rules as the rest of us.

Methane mandates are not the answer We have all noticed the drop in gas prices. While this will probably be temporary, JIM BUCHY right now OHIO REPRESENTATIVE it is saving Ohioans a significant amount of money. Ohioans now have access to increased discretionary spending which will continue to grow the economy in the state. Policies initiated by Governor Kasich and the legislature to increase energy exploration in eastern Ohio have also helped to reduce our winter heating fuel expenses. Lower energy prices benefit the growth of small businesses. With business owners paying less for energy, they can focus more on expanding, and improving their business. This means there are more opportunities for Ohioans to get jobs. Even after an accident at the Husky Energy Refinery in Lima, the gas markets did not drastically change. This shows the resiliency of our energy sector here in Ohio. However, I believe that looming actions by the federal government threaten our affordable energy prices. I believe that Washington does not understand the importance of promoting continued affordable

energy. The current leadership there has a history of being anti-fossil fuel, and recently White House ofﬁcials described a plan to increase the mandates on methane output from the oil and gas industry. This is similar to the policies that are debilitating the coal industry in the eastern part of our state. The methane output by the oil and gas industry is part of the natural cycle in the industry that allows it to be environmentally stable. When the methane molecule breaks apart it creates the H2O molecule thus replenishing the water supply used in the process for oil and gas exploration. If the mandates on methane output are enacted, we may actually see more harm done to the environment. These mandates and policies threaten our current low energy prices. If the price at the pump increases, Ohioans will see our recent economic growth impeded. I will continue working in favor of policies that keep the prices affordable for our citizens, and create opportunities for Ohioans to get jobs. Please give me your opinion on this topic and others in the news this month by completing an online survey at http:// tinyurl.com/buchyfebruary2015.

I’m the only one capable I have been told it is good to get away from your job and other distractions and spend time with your family. It will make your relationships healthier. I know it’s true, but believing I could squeeze in the time and get away was something else. The lack of a vacation is definitely my fault for thinking I need to be at work and believing the world would end if I didn’t do my job. The truth is they did wonderful without me. I think I just need to feel special, unique, important… I guess I have a desire to feel like I’m the only one capable of doing what I do. Looking at what was going on in my head might make one think I need the help of a professional. Nah! My wife helped me fully understand I was right. I did indeed take a va-

cation with my family. It is something I hadn’t done in over two years. We packed up the car and headed to the sunshine state to visit my elderly parents at their house. It sounds like we are a compassionate family and want to spend time with my parents because they are aging. While I do enjoy visiting my mom and dad, you are probably focusing on the wrong part of that sentence – your focus should be on “their house.” That’s right – free lodging – less expensive vacation. Although I would love to ﬂy, my wife is very frugal which means we always drive the 16 hours it takes to get to my parents’ home and most of the time we drive straight through. I’m using the word “we” rather loosely. My wife demonstrated to me why I do most of the driving on our last trip. We were running on schedule – only about 50 miles or less until our exit. The mile marker read 325 and we needed to get to exit 275. My wife had been driving for a little over an hour,

but we needed to get gas. I was exhausted having had two hours of sleep in the last 24 and barely opened my eyes when she pulled into the gas station to ﬁll up. She pulled out of the station and asked, “Which way do I go?” I responded groggily, “Go south on I-75.” I thought those instructions were clear. Still nearly comatose, I didn’t understand the importance of telling her to turn left. Around mile marker 400 she ﬁnally realized she was going the wrong way. She later admitted to thinking it was odd that Florida would have two cities named Gainesville. It wasn’t until she saw it for the third time that she realized there is only one Gainesville. Needless to say she proved my point. I am the only that can do what I do. On the bright side…I did get a little more sleep than I usually do on the drive, but it wasn’t enough. Later that day we went to Weeki Wachee where they are known

“Got The Low Interest Rate Blues?”

Evening of Coffee and Conversation ARCANUM – Join the Arcanum Wayne Trail Historical Society for an “Evening of Coffee and Conversation” March 12, 7 p.m. The guest speaker will be Marilyn Rosser Strickler. She is a descendant of the Rosser Family Lumber Company founders. The Rosser Lumber Co. was part of Arcanum Community from 1880 until 1962. The Rosser family was very appreciative of the business received from the community. They return the dividend to the people in gifts to the school, Trinity Methodist Church and civic programs for all residents to enjoy. Mrs. Strickler is the holder of many of the family artifacts and stories. From her rich legacy and heritage, she is very well versed in the history of Arcanum. Marilyn is an Arcanum High School graduate and after college, she made her home in Dayton, with her husband, Dr.

Jack Strickland and raised two children. Never forgetting her roots and holding the Arcanum community dear to her heart, she has much to share. The audience is invited to bring their history, family connections and stories, it will be a conversational evening for all to enjoy. The historical society extends a special invitation to the public and welcomes their attendance. Looking for something extra to do, visit the Arcanum Wayne Trail Historical Society, 123 W. George St., tour the building and view the displays or visit the resource rooms. The building will be open for visitation on Saturday morning 9 a.m.noon on March 7. Also, watch for announcements of upcoming programs, activities and new ventures offered by the society to the community for the summer months ahead.

for their mermaid shows. While walking around we noticed the shell of a mermaid where you can sit down and look like a mermaid. The group in front of us was ﬁnishing up when I proudly announced, “I’ll do it.” My oldest daughter looked at me and saw the twinkle in my eye. She shouted, “Don’t do it.” As soon as the other group left I ripped off my shirt and headed for the mermaid. My daughter had her phone out ready to snap as many pictures as she could before I sat down. Triton never looked so good – Not! Within minutes the picture was posted on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. I’m blaming lack of sleep for impairing my judgment. The guy who had his picture taken before us had it worse. He was with a special needs group and was blind. They sat him down to take his picture and he asked, “What am I sitting in?” They never answered him.

Haiti Beneﬁt Auction events are March 6-7 Bright turns 90 GREENVILLE – For the sixth consecutive year, volunteers are preparing for a local Haiti beneﬁt auction.

Fairgrounds on March 7, 9 a.m. The merchandise will include tools, furniture, household goods, handcrafted woodwork, Haitianmade crafts, and other items. The auction has been an annual event since 2010, shortly after a disastrous earthquake struck Haiti and left thousands dead. Each year, this auction sends 100 percent of its proceeds directly to Haiti, taking out no operating or administrative fees. The costs of hosting the auction are covered by volunteered donations. Organizers are currently looking for businesses that are interested in donating merchandise or services. “We are careful to send our

proceeds to conscientious organizations that work through native churches so their work has a strong, long-term, beneﬁt for the Haitian people rather than making them more dependent on foreign aid,” says Brad Hoblit, a member of the auction board. The auction proceeds support work like elementary education, building and equipping churches, personal evangelism, disaster relief and medical care. The doors will open at 8 a.m. on March 7 in the Youth Building at the fairgrounds, 800 Sweitzer St., Greenville.

The light is on for you for confession CINCINNATI – “The Light is On for You” on March 3. On that date, every parish or pastoral region in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati will open its doors from 7 to 9 p.m. for quiet prayer and the Sacrament of Reconciliation, also known as Penance or Confession. All Catholics are welcome, but especially those who have been away from the Church or the sacrament for some time. A similar initiative last year produced long lines for confession in many parishes, as well as positive feedback. “The Light is On for You is an opportunity for each of us to experience the forgiveness and joy given through the Sacrament of Reconciliation,” Most Reverend Dennis M. Schnurr, Archbishop of Cincinnati, wrote in the March issue of The Catholic Telegraph, the Archdiocesan newspaper. “I, too, am a sinner. I know it is never easy to speak aloud our faults and ask forgiveness. Yet, we meet Christ, the Divine

Healer, in the Sacrament. I am humbled each time I hear the confession of a person seeking the mercy of Christ and spiritual wholeness.” Pope Francis has spoken warmly about the sacrament frequently since being elected pope. A radio campaign has been promoting “The Light is On for You,” and bulletin inserts and brochures have been made available to parishes to explain the sacrament and how to make a good confession. A special website, www.LightisON4u. org, contains resources for the returning penitent as well as for pastors and staff preparing for March 3. “The Light is On for You” is being presented by the Office of the New Evangelization and the Worship Office. Funding comes from the Catholic Ministries Appeal. For more information, contact Sean Ater, director of the Office of the New Evangelization, at (513) 421-3131, ext. 2733.

THE EARLY BIRD DELIVERS!

Even though I know it’s a community with great people that I always enjoy meeting, until last year I had never reached out to the Darke County area through advertising. My dollars are limited and I have to be very selective on how I spend them. But I’ve found that advertising in The Early Bird really delivers in terms of value, affordability and ease of working with their staff. My ads are designed locally, in a creative and eye-catching way and with little hassle for me. But best of all, last season I saw a real increase in my Darke County customers, people who said they saw my ads in The Early Bird. I can’t thank you all enough for the support. We’ll be opening again soon, so come over to Troy to see us this year and say hi to D.W. while you’re here!

“The memories I have BY CLINTON RANDALL effort it would take to win made with my teammates the GWOC North.” STAFF WRITER for football and basketThe following night, www.bluebagmedia.com

GREENVILLE - It was a record breaking, historic weekend for the Greenville basketball program. For the first time in 60 years, the boys varsity basketball team can call themselves ‘Champions.’ The Wave won their final conference game Feb. 20… dominating Sidney by a score of 87-58 to claim the Greater Western Ohio Conference (GWOC) North championship for the first time in school history. To top the night off, junior Clay Guillozet scored his 1,000th career point. “Coming into the season our team had high expectations, and we were up to the challenge,” Guillozet told The Early Bird. “We knew what kind of

the team won its 17th game in a regular season ending victory over Darke County rival, Versailles by a score of 62-57. The win put the team over the 1967-68 boys team who previously held the school record for the most wins in a season with 16, according to Athletic Director Randy Swisher. “We have had such a great ride this season,” said Coach Mike Bashore. “It’s a great feeling to have the goal of winning the GWOC North and then being able to accomplish that goal!” Several Greenville seniors said good-bye as they played their ﬁnal game on SNB Court at Greenville High School Saturday night.

ball are ones that I will cherish forever and never forget,” said senior Allen Tabler. “One main thing I have wanted is to put Greenville on the map and get this town excited again.” Tabler was named to the GWOC North 2nd Team and is currently ranked 4th in the entire GWOC with an average of 4.6 assists per game. Fellow senior Aaron Balsbaugh was a standout defensive player for the Wave this season, being ranked in the top five in the conference for rebounds and blocked shots. He was named to 1st Team All-Division in the GWOC North. “As a team we all accepted our roles and did the little things to work together and win,” Balsbaugh told The Early Bird. The GWOC North also recognized junior forward Clay Guillozet and Mike Bashore as Player and Coach of the Year. Guillozet was also named to both 1st Team All-Conference and 1st Team AllDivision for his successful contribution on the court to help the Wave win this season. “I am fortunate to be able to coach this amazing group of young men and I am very proud of what they have been able to achieve together as a team,” Bashore added. Greenville finished the regular season at 9-1 in GWOC North and 17-4 overall. The #6 seed Wave begin their first round of Div. I sectional play tonight (Saturday) against Springboro at TrotwoodMadison High School. Log on to bluebagmedia.com for more photos from Greenville’s weekend games.

GREENVILLE - Junior Clay Guillozet joins the likes of only three other Greenville varsity basketball players before him to reach 1,000 points. From the free-throw line of the Feb. 20 ﬁnal conference game against Sidney, the hometown crowd celebrated with Clay and the team as he scored point number 1,000 with 7:51 showing on the clock in the third quarter of play. “It’s an honor being one of only four players to ever hit the thousand club in Greenville school history,” Guillozet told The Early Bird after the game. “It truly shows what hard work can do!” With the basket, Guillozet went into the school record books with Jake Cook, Tom Holzapfel and Craig Wohlgamuth as the only four to hit the career milestone. “Congratulations to Clay on joining the 1,000 point club,” said Jake Cook, GHS Class of 1993. “Your hard work and determination is something you should be very proud of!”

According to Clay’s biggest fan and supporter, his father Scott Guillozet, Clay first played as part of a basketball team at just 6-years-old. His dad, who was the coach of that team, shared with The Early Bird “how proud of his son he is and knows first-hand how much Clay has sacrificed over the years to get to this point in his career!” Currently Clay leads the entire Greater Western Ohio Conference

(GWOC) with an average of 22.4 point per game and was named the GWOC North Player of the Year. He is also the only non-senior listed on the 1st Team All-GWOC.

one. The other ďŹ ve contestants were Mrs. Evers, Mrs. Baker, Mrs. McCool, Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Brewer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re raising money for the American Heart Association,â&#x20AC;? Rose said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year we raised $3,900. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of money for us.â&#x20AC;? She added it would be a couple of

weeks before they would know how much was raised this year. But the main thing, according to Rose, was the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own health. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are promoting healthy hearts with a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;celebrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of our hearts!â&#x20AC;? The children seemed to agree, as they moved excitedly from one heart-healthy

activity to the next. The teacher contestants were creative with their messages to the students. One talked about what their heart does for them, then closes with â&#x20AC;&#x153;take good care of me.â&#x20AC;? Another said the heart is delicate, important and full of life; â&#x20AC;&#x153;and it is active day and night.â&#x20AC;? One teacher implores students with â&#x20AC;&#x153;I swear to you I have a heart!â&#x20AC;? Mrs. Flora continues with her heart poem, noting blueberries, milk, tomatoes, salmon, peas, chips (but not a lot!) and moreâ&#x20AC;Ś however the likely reason she was voted â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why I am a Heart Heroâ&#x20AC;? was at the endâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a heart hero, hope you will be too; then just like me you can live to 102!â&#x20AC;? The picture of the centenarian at the bottom of the poster was obviously not Mrs. Flora; but probably helped her get the winning votes.

DARKE COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; During the public comments segment of the BOB ROBINSON Versailles Associate Editor Board of Edubluebagmedia.com cation on Feb. 17, more than 25 angry parents submitted letters opting their children out of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers). Among the parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concerns were the tests having no educational value; results wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be known for a year; loss of local control to fulďŹ ll standards for statistical information; schools being diverted from traditional learning and more. State Representative Jim Buchy said a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;range warâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has been building over this. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of parents â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all over the state â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are not letting their kids take the test. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This goes back to last year when PARCC was put into effect. We knew it would be difďŹ cult the ďŹ rst year. The legislature gave educators and school districts a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Safe Harbor.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The kids werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t included.â&#x20AC;? Consequently Buchy is carrying House Bill 7 which extends Safe Harbor to the students. HB7 has unanimously passed the House; Buchy said he hopes the Senate will do the same. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told educators and the governor (Ohio Gov. John Kasich) last year to get rid of that test,â&#x20AC;? Buchy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a disaster! It will cause nothing but harm; besides there is way too much testing today.â&#x20AC;? Buchy added when they were drafting HB7 they took a survey of 4,000 administrators. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eighty-three percent supported HB7; 71 percent supported Common Core and 69 percent were against PARCC.â&#x20AC;? Versailles Superintendent Aaron Moran said the district takes state tests every year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get new forms with new standards,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wait and see how things work out before making a determination (on PARCC). So far (this year) itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone smoothly.â&#x20AC;? He added all of this is legislatively done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have no control over itâ&#x20AC;Ś personally I think we can move away from some of this testing,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Superintendents (around the state) would like to see testing reduced

by approximately 20 percent.â&#x20AC;? Andrea Townsend, Greenville City Schools Director of Administration and Pupil Personnel Services recently wrote she supported the PARCC tests. Acknowledging it was an unpopular statement, she said â&#x20AC;&#x153;the skills are paramount to success in our ever changing, global and technology driven world.â&#x20AC;? She said PARCC tests are designed to address those needs while acknowledging the degree of diversity among the students in their districts. Arcanum Superintendent John Stevens said his biggest concern was the amount of time required for testing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The time has nearly doubled from OAA (Ohio Achievement Assessments) testing.â&#x20AC;? He also noted results donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come back for a year, so the data isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as helpful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see the anxiety,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope our legislators and education department listen to the constituents.â&#x20AC;? Jim Atchley, Superintendent of Mississinawa Valley and Ansonia schools, said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a requirement. We have to give the test, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing.â&#x20AC;? He noted PARCC can be taken electronically or on paper; his districts have chosen the paper version. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With all the changes involved, we wanted to keep it as similar to the past as possible.â&#x20AC;? Buchy pointed out HB7 provides a Safe Harbor to students this year only. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully by next year PARCC will be gone,â&#x20AC;? he said. In the meantime he strongly urged parents not to opt their children out of the test. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have a Safe Harbor this year, but they still have to take it. If they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it will show up as a zero on their report. That could have a negative impact on the student.â&#x20AC;? According to the Ohio Department of Education, opting out could mean a third grade student might not get promoted to fourth grade; and a ninth grade student might not be eligible to receive a high school diploma. So far a number of parents have requested their children not take the test in Versailles; other districts have received comments but no written requests.

Recorder saves county history GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Darke County Recorder Linda Stachler is in the second phase of onsite scanning Digital Magic enhancement of the historical and brittle deed records. The second phase will bring her up through volume 60. The recorder hopes the commissioners will continue to provide funding each year to complete the project over time.

public on the recorders search terminals. The public will be able to view and print simply be selecting the volume and page desired. When they do their standard back up these images will be archived for posterity.

Heart & Sole 5k set at Eldora Speedway

DCCA recognizes Edward Jones Investment Representatives Dave Connelly, Todd Subler, Andria Haworth, Bill Wolke and Ryan Carpe for their contribution to DCCA and the arts in Darke County.

Edward Jones reps sponsor Irish Wave GREENVILLE – Darke County Center for the Arts (DCCA) recognizes Edward Jones Investment Representatives Dave Connelly, Todd Subler, Andria Haworth, Bill Wolke and Ryan Carpe for their sponsorship of the Irish Wave fundraiser, set for March 13, 6:30 p.m. at Montage Café, as well as the recent sold out A Taste of Wine & Jazz held in January. According to DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan, DCCA thanks Edward Jones Investment Representatives for their continued support of the arts in Darke County. “We are looking forward to the third annual Irish Wave to be an opportunity to celebrate all things Irish. The monies generated will help enable our organization to bring high quality performing artists to our community,” concluded Jordan. Music will be performed by Lone Raven, a group that DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins describes as one of the top bands in the Midwest. “Lone Raven performs an eclectic blend of traditional music as well as their own originals,” Rawl-

ins explained. “They’ll tear through peppy Irish reels, play haunting Gypsy ﬁddle tunes, and render soulful airs, leaving the audience breathless and begging for more,” Rawlins said. Attendees can count on a diverse choice of beers; six tastes and a commemorative beer glass are included in the price of admission. For non-beer drinkers, other beverages including wine will be available; Irishthemed food prepared by Montage proprietors Aaron and Michele Cox will also be provided. Sponsors for Irish Wave who make possible the performance by Lone Raven are Second National Bank, The Andersons Marathon LLC, Edward Jones Investment representatives Ryan Carpe, Dave Connelly, Andria Haworth, Todd Subler and Bill Wolke, Dr. Thomas and Suzanne Brown, and Zechar Bailey Funeral Home. Tickets for Irish Wave are $35, and can be purchased by contacting DCCA at 937-547-0908 or dcca@ centerforarts.net, or on-line at www.centerforarts.net. Tickets are also available at Montage Cafe.

Henry is hospital’s foundation director GREENVILLE – Wayne HealthCare is pleased to announce that Lauren Henry, MBA, PHR has been appointed as the Wayne Hospital Foundation Director. Ms. Henry comes to Wayne with great relationship-building experience having led the Darke County United Way for eight years. Prior to serving as director, Lauren served on the United Way board of directors and as a campaign volunteer for four years. Ms. Henry earned a bachelor’s degree in business at Miami University and a master’s degree in business administration with a focus in organizational leadership at the University of Findlay. She received her Professional in Human Resources (PHR) certiﬁcation and worked in human resources at Brethren Retirement Community and Greenville Technology, Incorporated following graduation from Miami University. Lauren and her husband Chad have three boys, Carson, Ethan and Garrison. Chad is the Planning and Zoning Director at the City of Greenville. “Lauren will be a great asset to Wayne HealthCare and our hospital foundation,” said Lynne Hawley, MD at Family Health and immediate past chair of the Wayne Hospital Foundation Board. “Lauren has a strong background in both relationship-building and fundraising. I am conﬁdent that she will revive and build on the legacy of

the Wayne Hospital Foundation and its support of quality healthcare for our community.” “It is my passion to give back to the residents of Darke County, providing hope for the future and strengthening our community. I am honored to be able to continue serving the community in the capacity of Foundation Director for Wayne HealthCare,” said Ms. Henry. Lauren has served the community through leadership, volunteer and professional organizations, all of which include: Edison Community College’s Academy of Community Leadership, Chair for the Darke County Tri Council serving seniors and their health needs, as well as a member of the Senior Outreach Committee and Darke County Volunteer Network. Lauren is also a member of the Greenville Rotary Club, Family and Children First Council for Darke County and Deacon of First Presbyterian Church in Greenville. The Wayne Hospital Foundation was established to acquire and accept charitable gifts for Wayne HealthCare, in order to perpetuate and provide high quality healthcare at the hospital and in the community. The Wayne Hospital Foundation, established in 2007 has raised more than $500,000 since its inception to support improvements at Wayne HealthCare.

ROSSBURG – State of the Heart Hospice will hold the nonprofit agency’s second annual “Heart & Sole 5k” on March 28 at Eldora Speedway. Proceeds from the 5k will be used to provide support to the agency’s Care Center at Wayne HealthCare in Greenville. The Hospice Care Center is for patients from all of the communities served by the agency. “We were extremely happy with last year’s event which was held in February when we had five inches of snow and ice on the ground and it was nine degrees and we had 300 participants,” stated Christy Baker, State of the Heart Hospice event organizer and Development Specialist. “Even though we loved having the race at Rossburg Acres, we outgrew our venue after one year. We are anticipating 500 participants at this year’s 5k,” she added. “We appreciate Eldora Speedway graciously hosting our event this year.” Last year, the race raised $12,653. The presenting sponsor for the fundraising event is Preferred Insurance Center of Coldwater. State of the Heart has partnered with Preferred Insurance Center on other fundraising projects. “We are delighted that they are once again our presenting sponsor,” Baker said. With offices in Greenville, Coldwater and Portland, State of the Heart cares for patients in eastern Indiana and western Ohio who are confronting a life limiting illness. The agency opened the Care Center in 2013 and antici-

pates serving nearly 400 patients by the end of this year. This year’s event “theme,” Baker explained, “is based on a ‘race’ since we are at the well known race venue near New Weston. The 5k will be an out and back with the last half mile around the Eldora race track, weather permitting.” Registration starts at 7:30 a.m., and the race starts at 9 a.m. The cost to enter is $20 and with this you get a tech shirt. It is $15 if you do not want the shirt. Children 14 and under the cost is $12 with a shirt, and $5 without. These prices are good if entered before March 13. After that date, the price is $25 per adult and the pricing stays the same for children. Baker said that shirts could not be guaranteed

after March 13. “We will once again have a candy stop on the course along with post-race refreshments,” Baker said. “We will have cash prizes for the top three overall male and female finishers. We will also have a cash prize for every first place age division finisher.” The event is open to both runners and walkers, and strollers are also welcome. Those interested in participating can find registration forms to mail in on the State of the Heart web site: https:// gtraces.formstack.com/ forms/2015_heart.

GREENVILLE – On March 15, author and historian Aaron Keirns will present a program about the crash of the dirigible Shenandoah. Keirns, a graduate of The Ohio State University, has a degree in anthropology. He has worked in graphic design and marketing and has taught at the college level. When the Shenandoah was built in 1923, the design was based on that of the German L-49, which was a high-altitude bomber. The German ship was built during World War I and was able to climb to high altitudes in order to avoid being shot down. The Shenandoah was the first rigid airship built in the United States. It was also the first inflated rigid airship to take flight. The dirigible was inflated by

helium. The Shenandoah was damaged by wind at its mooring on January 26, 1924. When put back into commission the next month, the airship had a new commander. Lt. Cdr. Zachary Lansdowne, a native of Greenville, was put in charge. He had graduated from the United States Naval Academy and was one of the first officers to learn to fly the lighterthan-air ships. Lansdowne made a number of successful flights during the year and a half before the crash which took his life and those of 13 crew members on Sept. 3, 1925. It was the 57th flight for the diri-

gible. The day before, the Shenandoah had begun a goodwill tour of the Midwest, planning to stop at county fairs and other locations. It ran into a storm over southeastern Ohio, and the turbulent winds ripped the airship apart. Keirns will illustrate his talk with a number of pictures. Some are ofﬁcial photos of the Shenandoah, but others are snapshots. People from Ava were attending the nearby county fair when the disaster occurred, and many rushed to the site. Some snapped pictures of the wreckage. Keirns has authored a book on the disaster. After the talk, Keirns will be

GREENVILLE – “Peent... Peent!” The American Woodcock is so expertly camouflaged that it quite nearly vanishes when it rests on the woodland floor. Not so during the breeding season.
