4-H offers a variety of life skills SUSAN HARTLEY

CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY Rhonda Williams has seen a number of changes during her years working in the 4-H program. But some things remain the same.

“What makes us successful is we still have faceto-face interaction and a personal touch,” explained Williams, who has served as the Darke County Extension Director since 1995.

During 2015, Darke County had 46 4-H clubs, 1,175 club members, 232 adult volunteers, and 2,228 school enrichment students who experienced that face-to-face time attending monthly meetings, working together on projects, enjoying summer camp and county fair activities.

On March 6, several individuals were recognized for their commitment to the 4-H program during the “4-H Goes Green in 2016” annual kick-off event.

Topping the list of recognitions were Darke County Judge Julie Monnin and Wayne Chinn of 1 Shot Services of Bradford. The two earned the Friends of 4-H award, which began in 1984 to publicly honor and thank individuals, businesses and groups that support the county’s 4-H program.

Also recognized were 4-Hers John Fischer and Emily Miller as 2016 “I Dare You” award recipients.

The two club members were chosen for excellence of character, personal development, initiative and integrity in leadership.

Gaining experience in leadership is one skill that 4-H youth will take with them through their lives, Williams said.

“Projects are a means to an end,” she noted. “Time management, communication skills, time spent in the show ring convincing a judge why you should go to state, these are skills our youth can take with them, for example to a job interview. That’s really what we’re all about.”

Changes that are benefitting 4-H members include technology – most clubs now have a closed Facebook page used to update members on meetings and events. Others may text each other meeting reminders.

Ohio 4-H also is taking a look at providing project books electronically, Williams said, although most people prefer the printed version that they can hold in their hands.

Some projects remain the same – clothing construction, cooking, raising and showing animals – while projects centered on STEM are becoming increasingly

popular.

“I like to call it STEAM,” Williams said. “Science, technology, engineering, arts and math. Research has shown that kids involved in arts do better in all the other subject areas.

“Clothing projects have evolved into more of a creative outlet. But there’s still some value in having someone know what they are doing. Nutrition projects have picked up as people become more aware of what they are eating,” Williams explained.

While clothing projects are on the downside – Williams believes due to the costs of materials as well as finding knowledgeable seamstresses to act as advisors – projects in robotics, technologies, even the “shooting” sports are up.

Last year saw the formation of the Darke County Shooting Sports Club with 20 members learning about rifles, archery and living history, with advisers who have been certified to teach in these topics.

“I anticipate more members for the club this year,” Williams said, perhaps due to the popularity of gun ownership and gun safety.

Williams also sees the value of adult volunteers who act as club advisers and project instructors and judges.

“We have one volunteer, Debra Richard of Bradford, who has been with us 43 years. If we didn’t have volunteers we wouldn’t be as successful as we are,” Williams said.

Volunteers also assist during summer camp, which is set for June 20-23 at Indian Hills 4-H Camp in Pleasant Hill. The 2015 camp saw 132 campers in grades 3-8, with 35 4-Hers in grades 9-12 serving as camp counselors. Students in grades 3-8 do not have to be enrolled in 4-H to attend camp, Williams said.

Other notable 4-H dates for 2016 include the county project judging day set for July 15 and the 160th Darke County Fair, which will be held Aug. 19-27. The county’s 4-H clubs will join with other county youth programs to set up booths featuring their projects during fair week.

Registration to join 4-H for 2016 is taking place now through April 1.

GREENVILLE – The EUM Church in Greenville was recently ranked as the third fastest growing large Methodist church in America. The top 25 list is developed annually by Len Wilson (lenwilson.us), who is an author and consultant for Methodist churches across the country.

Wilson stated that this was the first time he had heard of EUM Church and was surprised to see how fast it had grown over the last few years. He confirmed some of the attendance numbers that EUM had reported with colleagues at the West Ohio Methodist Conference and the United Theological Seminary in Dayton.

“They (his colleagues) confirmed that it’s a dynamic, growing church and worthy of the ranking,” Wilson explained. “I acquire all data from official United Methodist denominational agency records as kept by the General Council on Finance and Administration, based out of Nashville.”

The list compiles average attendance from the

past five years. The data reports show that EUM Church has shown a growth over that time of 91 percent and had an average weekly attendance of 1,193 people in 2014. That number increased again in 2015… where the church reported a 1,214 weekly average, impressively 226 of which were kids ages 13 and under.

According to EUM’s Lead Pastor Jeff Harper, the attendance numbers grew by almost 200 people a week when construction was completed in 2010 of the new Worship Center, located at 1451 Sater St. in Greenville. Then again in 2011, the church welcomed

nearly 175 new faces.

The church credits many different areas of community outreach programs and ministries that EUM uses to help “share the love of Christ”.

“EUM Church is only a tool in which God’s love is spread to our community,” Harper said. “Helping people connect with Christ and always feel welcome is one thing our church prides itself on.”

When asked what newcomers say they enjoy most about EUM… Harper told The Early Bird what he hears the most is, “I felt accepted” and “I loved the worship and the music”.

Today EUM Church holds four contemporary services and one traditional service every weekend.

Service times are Saturday at 6:30 p.m.; Sunday 9:15 a.m.; Sunday 9:45 a.m. (traditional); Sunday 10:30 a.m.; and Sunday at 11:59 a.m. EUM also offers a livestream video of each sermon for anyone that can not attend. Video recorded sermons are also posted each week at the church’s website at eumchurch.org.

Wayne HealthSports provides avenue for Guillozet rehab GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – With records within reach, the prestigious Flyin’ to the Hoop to be played, most of a senior basketball season remaining and athletic scholarships on the line, an ankle injury brought concerns Clay Guillozet’s may have played his final game for GHS. “The initial indication based on his MRI was that Clay could miss up to five or six weeks of his senior season,” said Jim Beyke, Director of Wayne HealthSports Rehabilitation Services. “It was diagnosed as an ankle sprain. He was still in a lot of pain.”

“Mr. Beyke was a big help getting me back,” said Guillozet. “I went in there on crutches not able to walk.”

“Clay first saw (GHS) athletic trainer Brian Cheeney,” said Beyke. “Brian is an employee of the hospital. It is an extension of the services we offer.”

“I got injured in practice.

Brian was the first one to come over and take a look,” Guillozet said. “Once he realized what it was he got me to the doctor quickly.”

After initial diagnosis from Brian Cheeney, Jim Beyke referred Clay to Dr. Rob Maher.

“Dr. Maher did a good job of evaluating it,” Guillozet said. “He wanted me to get the MRI which was able

to tell me what was wrong.”

“Dr. Maher does a lot of neat things for us as far as getting athletes in same day of an injury,” Beyke said. “If an athlete sprains an ankle he’ll take initial X-rays, an initial exam and maybe apply an edema wrap to get the swelling down so they don’t sit all weekend with this big swollen ankle that gets worse over the weekend.”

“I got started with Clay on Christmas Eve,” Beyke said. “Coach Bashore came out and met with me on that first day. We said… you know there is a lot on the line here. A college scholarship, there is a scoring record, there is obviously the success of the team that is heavily relying on Clay being able to play, so I said let’s get to work.”

“We knew if Clay got after it and worked hard we were going to beat that time-frame,” said Beyke.

“Clay just couldn’t sit by and let his whole senior year just go by.”

“With the resources they have, Mr. Beyke was able to get me in the water treadmill so that I could walk and get the walking movement back,” said Guillozet.

“To Clay’s credit… he works very hard,” Beyke said. “He listened to what we as a therapy staff and the athletic training staff… all the recommendations and he followed through.”

“It’s neat that we could do that for Clay… get him

back,” Beyke said. “If we would have just taken the initial prognosis he would have probably missed at least four to six weeks of his season.”

With Wayne HealthSports, athletes have the opportunity to get the best care without leaving the county, saving students time away from the classroom, parents taking time off work while spending gas money to drive

to Dayton when everything needed is right here.

“I didn’t miss any school with anything that I was doing,” stated Guillozet a member of the GHS National Honor Society. “Everybody really helped work around my school schedule so that I wouldn’t miss. I was getting in there every day.”

During a search of the home, ofďŹ cers discovered methamphetamine that allegedly belonged to Reynolds, who was on probation at the time for a prior felony drug-related conviction. He was arrested and booked in the Darke County jail on several felony charges‌ in-

Both subjects were released from the scene. The marijuana was packaged and placed into evidence and will be sent to the Miami Valley Regional Crime lab if necessary for further testing.

Van Frank invited to join Sea Hunt cast GREENVILLE – A local Parks Director and Vintage Equipment Scuba Diver and Collector, Roger M. Van Frank will be diving with the “Sea Hunt Forever” cast at Silver Springs State Park, Silver Springs, Florida March 19-20. Van Frank stated that “Underwater scenes from the 1958-1961 TV series “Sea Hunt” will be re-enacted and viewed from glass bottom boats by 8,000-10,000 guests to the Florida Springs attraction.

“Silver Springs” is famous for its crystal clear waters where underwater scenes from many old Hollywood films where shot like “Tarzan”, and “Creature from the Black Lagoon,” to name a few. “Over 155 episodes were made for the Sea Hunt series and of those 140 were made at Silver Springs. I am excited to participate in this, The Florida Springsfest 2016. The importance of the preservation and conservation of lands surrounding Florida State Park’s Silver Springs is at a critical point,” said Van Frank. The event promoters and Vintage Equipment Scuba Divers hope to bring about an increased awareness and renewed understanding of this conservation effort.

As part of The Florida Springs Fest 2016 annual

celebration, Vintage Double Hose (VDH) Worldwide, LLC will bring a multi-faceted presentation titled, Sea Hunt Forever. Underwater Naturalist, Jonathan Bird will be filming an episode of his award winning show Jonathan Birds Blue World during the event.

Commercial Printing of Greenville sponsored the international brochure that will be given to over 10,000 visitors for this two day event.

World renowned collector and historian of Sea Hunt memorabilia, Alec Pierce of Scuba 2000 in Toronto, Canada will be displaying his one of a kind collection containing memorabilia and props from the Sea Hunt TV show and Silver Springs. Most items are found nowhere else in the world and some have not been seen for decades.

Members of the original cast and support members from the Sea Hunt TV series will be in attendance and Scuba Divers in period correct vintage scuba gear will be reenacting scenes and entertaining the guests on glass bottom boat tours both above and below the surface during the two day event.

and the presence of working smoke detectors. According to the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) “detectors equipped with batteries checked regularly and changed every year double the odds for survival.”

The widespread acceptance and availability of smoke detectors in the early 1980s greatly increased the nation’s progress in decreasing fire-related deaths and injuries. However, in the 1990s that progress slowed dramatically; and battery neglect is believed to have played a leading role in this disturbing trend. To aid our local community in avoiding unnecessary fire-related tragedies, the Greenville Fire Department offers the following suggestions: * Install at least one working smoke detector (with a fresh battery) on each level of your home. * Because smoke rises,

Van Frank has been scuba diving since he was 11 and was originally certified to Scuba dive in 1967. “My interest in diving came from my oldest brother and of course from watching those early shows of Sea Hunt starring Lloyd Bridges who portrayed Mike Nelson, as a retired Navy Diver.” Van Frank continued, “I am looking forward to diving in Silver Springs and working with the thousands of visitors coming to the event.

My plans are to encourage those stewards of tomorrow to become involved in the preservation of this important natural resource both

smoke detectors should be placed on the ceiling or at the highest point on the wall. * Ensure each detector in your home is operating properly by pressing the “test” button at least once a month. * Never remove the battery from your smoke detector except to install a new one.

In 37 percent of fire related deaths there was no smoke detector present in the home. The risk of a death happening in a fire is cut in half when there is a working smoke alarm present. The City of Greenville Fire Department will provide and install a free smoke detector and CO detector to those in need. Stop at the Fire Department office MondayThursday 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m.

Change your clocks, change your batteries GREENVILLE – With daylight savings time approaching, the Greenville Fire Department urges you to install a new battery in each smoke detector of your home when you “spring ahead” the time on your clocks. It has been proven that a working smoke detector is the single most effective tool in surviving a house fire.

In a telephone survey conducted in the US 96-97 percent of household have at least one smoke alarm, about 53 percent of all reported house fires did the smoke alarm operate properly. “This (negligence) is to blame for the majority of fire-related deaths and injuries in the U.S.” Research provided by the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), and supported by the statistics from local fire departments nationwide, shows a direct correlation between survival in a fire

ON YOUR MIND

READERS WRITE Not Ambiguous: Very Clear For reasons no one can give you that you could ďŹ nd believable, you falsely believe you are smart. Yet, take a look around you.

This country is literally falling apart, but no one wants to admit has or is happening. Why are you – Congress – so clueless?

Why do our supposedly smart people in D.C. keep spending borrowed money on their pet projects and other things this country does not need or want?

Where is their understandability? What is so hard about understanding you cannot continue to spend borrowed money without there being serious consequences? What is so hard about understanding you have to make better decisions before you can get better results? What is so hard about understanding the very real possibility that all the government’s intrusion - meddling and interference – is the major cause of all the dysfunction throughout the entire government?

By not making accountability standard operating procedure government has burdened taxpayers with this totally unnecessary expense. Why? Why have our smart people in D.C. totally and completely thrown away every trace of reasonableness, understanding, willingness to listen, ability to talk with the real intention of reaching a good conclusion or decision?

What is going on in D.C. is not ambiguous it is very clear. They have failed tremendously to understand and comprehend how important it is to the American people that our government shows us a lot of responsibility and accountability. This is very important to us, We the People, that you democrats must repeal ACA before it does bankrupt this country.

This question needs to be answered by democrats. Why can’t you see the bankruptcy of this country as a very real possibility? Any cuts Obama made have been the most pathetic, anemic, totally enigmatic, insigniďŹ cant attempt at deception ever.

What cuts did he make that were real cuts? He cut the military while increasing spending.

What do We the People have to do to get Congress’ attention? Why won’t they take time to listen to us, We the People? What makes them falsely believe they have all the right answers? Where are those answers? Why should we or why would we or how could we believe anything they say? Why that cannot, will not, and do not understand and comprehend they are the major reason this country has lost credibility around the world and with the American people.

This is no ambiguous it is very clear. We the People want positive change. A congress and president to make those changes ASAP. Will the American people being distraught, angry, frustrated and disappointed be enough to get them to realize, recognize, understand and comprehend how much they have and are doing that is totally and completely wrong? Or will these things keep them from doing that? (A broken understandability, poliomyelitis of the brain, an extreme narcissistic narcosis syndrome, complicated by the mesmerization spell cast by Obama, keep them from understanding and comprehending how many things they have done wrong without them every realizing or recognizing they were so terribly wrong?

It is time that they and every American citizen put aside what they fear and take a positive step. The American people and this country really need to turn their lives over to Jesus very completely.

Reacquaint yourself with Jesus. Find out what adventures he has planned for you. Time is running out. Do not get left behind because what is going to happen will be very scary for those who do not believe in Jesus. Embrace Jesus. Ask for forgiveness.

Ask him to be your savior.

It will be the best decision you can ever make.

DP&L and Vectren offer scholarships DAYTON – The Dayton Power and Light Company (DP&L), a subsidiary of The AES Corporation (NYSE:AES), and Vectren Energy Delivery of Ohio (Vectren), are offering three scholarships to high school seniors who plan to work in the energy industry.

Each $1,000 scholarship will be granted for college tuition and expenses to deserving students who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, knowledge and an interest in continuing their studies by pursuing an energy-related career.

The scholarships will be facilitated by the Ohio Energy Project, a non-proďŹ t energy education organization that also works with DP&L and Vectren on their energy efďŹ ciency programs

Spring cleaning hurts, a lot

I don’t get it. Why do I have to suffer when my wife decides it’s time to start spring cleaning? She made the announcement a day before we were to clean and made sure to ask if I was doing anything the next day before she made her grand revelation. I was trapped.

I couldn’t get out of it by saying I had to work. My daughters were less thrilled with the idea of cleaning than I was, especially my youngest.

I think the spring cleaning session was my fault.

After being conďŹ ned to my chamber of discontent (bedroom) when my oldest daughter’s boyfriend is at the house, I decided to do a little cleaning to make my imprisonment more tolerable. Imprisonment may be a little harsh. Maybe I

should call it an involuntary temporary detention. After cleaning three quarters of the room, which included moving the bed around to sweep underneath the bed, dusting all of the wooden surfaces, and cleaning the windows, I asked politely in a demanding sort of way that my wife clean her quarter of the room. By her quarter of the room I mean her dresser that had a pile of clothes that no longer ďŹ t our kids. Somehow if it didn’t ďŹ t them they didn’t want it in their room, but our room was the perfect place.

Knowing the ground rules ahead of time helped.

There were few complaints, but other than one quarter of our bedroom I’m not sure what they did while I was working. I spent three or four hours in the kitchen doing dishes, cleaning counters, moving stuff from one side of the kitchen to the other to clean behind things.

From there I moved downstairs. We don’t have a ďŹ nished basement, but it’s

COLUMBUS – State Representative Jim Buchy (R- Greenville) has released adjusted report cards for schools in Auglaize, Darke, Mercer and Shelby counties as concerns grow about the impact on local scores from students who opted out of the 2014-2015 PARCC examinations.

In December, legislators introduced House Bill 420, which would have required the Ohio Department of Education to issue data to account for students whose parents elected for their child to “opt-outâ€? of PARCC examinations. “The Ohio Department of Education has issued some adjusted grades, but have been unable to effectively communicate the impacts of opt-outs on the report cards,â€? Buchy said. “Upon the release of the report cards last month, I was surprised how difďŹ cult

it was to review accurate scores.�

Representative Buchy has been working with ODE ofďŹ cials to ensure that the entirety of the Department’s website reects the modiďŹ ed rankings for Ohio’s schools. In an effort to let residents of the 84th House District know how their schools performed, he has issued adjusted report cards for the 27 schools in Auglaize, Darke, Mercer and Shelby counties. “In all the years I have served in the legislature I have never before been driven to do the job of a bureaucratic agency for them,â€? Buchy said. “The data on the adjusted report cards reects data I have received from the Ohio Department of Education, but

Representative Buchy has posted the adjusted report cards at tinyurl.com/ adjustedreportcards. These report cards are unofďŹ cial and serve only as a way of reviewing school results to consider the impact of the high level of “opt-outs.â€?

The Ohio Department of Education has posted ofďŹ cial results at www.reportcard.education.ohio.gov Representative Buchy has made protecting children and communities from the results of the

failed PARCC test a primary goal. He was the author of House Bill 7, which passed through the legislature in February 2015 to extend safe harbor to all Ohio students to ensure that students could not be harmed by the results of the unproven, untested PARCC examinations. At that time, Representative Buchy spoke publically about the importance of all students taking the PARCC test with an understanding that it could not result in them being held back or having their class grades impacted.

we reached a certain spot in our cleaning I brought in the television from my room so she could watch Netix while we cleaned.

My wife believes I caved into my daughter’s wishes.

Not so. I know how to work smarter – not harder.

We got her room looking pretty good after taking out seven bags of trash. Before you think, uuuugghh – she’s nasty. I should explain most of the trash was stuff she was hoarding. There are probably a few more bags of hoarded items I will need to throw away when she isn’t around.

I’m glad spring cleaning only comes once a year. By the time I called it quits, I felt like I spent the day in the gym and ran a marathon. I must have gone up and down the stairs 50 times, knelt down and stood up 100 times, and lifted over 1,000 pounds. I’m glad spring cleaning only comes once a year because it is not for those of us that are out of shape. I ached for two days.

Buchy concerned with opt-outs impact

and activities, including the annual Energy Fair.

The University of Dayton is host to the Energy Fair which allows high school students to teach younger students about energy efďŹ ciency through hands-on experiments and games.

Students applying for the scholarships must be graduating seniors and members of families who are DP&L or Vectren customers. Students must present involvement in energy-related classroom, school or community activities or programs.

The deadline for applying for a scholarship is April 15.

Information about the scholarships is being distributed to area schools.

Since I was in the zone I decided it was time my youngest daughter and I cleaned her room. She is not the tidiest teenage girl. I do most of the laundry and fold her clothes to be put in her dressers (yes, dressers is plural – she has two of them). We started cleaning and I opened the dresser only to ďŹ nd them empty. All of the clothes I had neatly folded were piled on a chair and falling onto the oor.

Half of those don’t ďŹ t her anymore. I should be thankful they didn’t end up on my wife’s dresser.

Should You Retire in “Stages”?

For many people, the concept of retirement can be scary, both emotionally and financially. If you, too, feel somewhat anxious about what awaits you, you might feel more comfortable in knowing that, depending on where you work, you might be able to retire in stages.

As its name suggests, retiring in stages typically involves reducing one’s work hours from full-time to part-time, and then, eventually, to complete retirement. If you enjoy the social relationships of work, and you define part of your identity with what you do at your job, this type of gradual transition may be easier for you to accommodate than the abrupt transition from “worker” to “retiree.”

As for the financial aspects of such a move, you will want to plan ahead. A “phased-in” retirement can affect your investment and income strategies in several areas, such as these: Social Security – You can start collecting Social Security as early as age 62, but your monthly payments will only be about 75% of what you’d get if you wait until you reach 66 (assuming that 66 is your “full” retirement age). And the payments get larger from there, until they “max out” at 70. So, if you had planned to retire at 62 but instead retired in stages, you could possibly afford to delay taking Social Security until your checks were bigger. You could work and receive Social Security, but if your earnings exceed a certain amount, some of your benefits may be withheld, at least until you reach full retirement age – after which you can earn as much as you want with no withholding of benefits. However, your Social Security could still be taxed based on your income.

Required minimum distributions – During your working years, you may well have contributed to tax-deferred retirement accounts, such as a traditional IRA and a 401(k) or similar employersponsored plan. But once you turn 70½, you must start taking withdrawals (“required minimum distributions,” or RMDs) from these accounts. You can’t delay taking these payments, which are taxable. But if you did retire in stages and continued to work part-time, past when you expected to completely retire, you may be able to stick with the required minimum withdrawals at least for a while, rather than taking out larger amounts immediately. In this way, you could potentially keep more of your retirement funds growing in your tax-deferred accounts.

Investment mix – If you planned to retire at a certain date, you might have created a specific mix of investments designed to provide you with sufficient income to last your lifetime. But if you continue to work, you may not have to rely so heavily on your portfolio – that is, your IRA, 401(k) and all investments held outside these retirement accounts – to help you meet your income needs. Consequently, during these extra years of work, you may be able to withdraw less from your portfolio, thus potentially having more assets to provide for your income needs down the road.

As you can see, a “phased-in” retirement could help provide you with options in making a variety of financial decisions. So, plan carefully before you exit the workforce – a gradual departure may be a good way to say “goodbye.”

Darke DD - What’s Your Story: Anita Greene GREENVILLE – Anita Greene is a gifted lady; you could say she has “gifts of the hands (knitting) and gifts of the heart (giving back).” She has always had a compassionate heart and she enjoys giving back to her community. Anita was just a little girl when her mother taught her to knit.

She is left-handed, so she remembers having to sit across from her mother and pay special attention since she was learning backwards. Knitting gives Anita great pleasure and has been a life-long hobby.

Recently, Anita met with Regina Duff, director of OB at Wayne HealthCare, to donate five handmade baby blankets. Anita makes these blankets with love and she wanted to give them to a family preparing to go home with their brand new baby. It gives her great joy knowing that her blankets are being used to comfort and snuggle little ones.

If you ask Anita, she will tell you she has a great life. She grew up on a farm

where she had 16 horses and has lived in Darke County her entire life. Her dad owned a boat, so she grew up boating and fishing, two hobbies that she still enjoys today - and she still gets to be around horses because she has a dear friend who owns a horse farm.

Anita was married for eight years before her husband sadly passed. She worked at Corning, Inc. for many years until they closed in 2002 at which time she began working in the kitchen at Woodland Primary School. She still works at Woodland, five days a week, and is very excited for the opening of the new building. Anita loves her job because she has fun with her co-workers and she enjoys being around the little kids.

Anita has always liked working. It not only gives her social connections, it also allows her to live in her own apartment and enjoy many hobbies, such as knitting, fishing, camping, playing cards with

VOTES MATTER TRUTH MATTERS While attending a “Meet The Candidates” event at the Brethren Home on Saturday, February 13th in Greenville. I was ask the question by a member of the audience…“Why can’t the Heart-beat Bill get passed?” My answer was “It is immoral for the senate to not pass the Heartbeat Bill and save 20,000 babies each and every year…remember, that Partial Birth Abortion was declared by the Supreme Court unconstitutional. The fight did not end and the Supreme Court eventually ruled PBA Ban constitutional. We had an opportunity to vote on the Heartbeat Bill, I voted for it while my opponent did not.”

Matt Huffman followed me by answering “That is not true.” He then continued to answer the question.

Let me give you the truth from the Ohio House Journal, Dated TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 2014. http://archives.legislature.state.oh.us/JournalText130/HJ-12-09-14.pdf This link will get you there: Scroll to page 2980. The 15 “NEY” votes you see on that page voted to have the Heart-beat Bill amended into a bill pending on the House Floor with a subsequent vote. With the 75 “YEAS” , the bill was informally passed and the opportunity missed. Gongwer News Service (Volume #83, Report #236-Tuesday, December 9, 2014) reported: “HEARTBEAT QUASHED”.

As you can see, an opportunity was made to vote on the Heartbeat Bill. The attempt failed because most members do what they are told and fear retribution.

I stated in my introduction that day that Navy SEAL’s have a creed. Duty, it is my duty to do the very best I can to serve you. Honor…honor my commitments that I ran on. Truth…I’ll tell you the truth about what goes on at the Statehouse, good and bad.

I’d like to clarify the missed votes accusation that you have received in the mail; all legislators paychecks over an 8 year period is just over $500,000 is correct.

Over that 8 year period there are approximately 240 voting days. I missed 15 to 17 voting days due to a hip replacement and knee surgery with some sick days thrown in and legislative travel days that were approved by the Speaker.

I’d like to thank you for your consideration this Tuesday when you enter the voting booth.

Frens is runner-up at OATCCC state meet GREENVILLE – AJ Frens, of Greenville, will have a good start to the outdoor track and field season. The outstanding Wave pole vaulter earned a trip to the Division I Ohio Association of Track and Cross Country Coaches state indoor track and field meet in Akron on March 5.

Prior to the state meet, Frens was ranked third in the state for division 1. His vault of 15’ 3” earned him second place. After missing on his first two attempts

at that height, Frens was able to clear the bar on his third and final try. He finished three-inches ahead of the third place finisher, but over a foot behind this year’s indoor state champion Lucas Kelley, of Massillon Perry. Kelley, the 2015 Ohio High School Athletic Association Division I state champion, recorded an impressive vault of 16’ 5”.

Frens qualified for the meet after posting a vault of 15’ 6.25” at a high school meet at the University of Kentucky on Feb. 20.

Berry fights through injury at state meet AKRON – For the first time in the school’s history, Franklin Monroe sent an athlete to the Ohio Association of Track and Cross Country Coaches (OATCCC) indoor state track and field meet in Akron. Nicole Berry, junior, qualified to compete in shot put and weight throw.

Taking the top 18 seeds in each category, OATCCC ranked Berry in the top 10 for division 2 and 3 girls’ shot put. She earned the seeding after throwing nearly 38-feet at an indoor qualifier at Otterbein University.

In FM’s first year of throwing weight throw, Berry was ranked in the top 25 for the event. She earned one of the last two qualifying spots by throwing just over 31-feet in a qualifier.

Going up against the top throwers in the state, Berry was able to post a solid 10th place finish in shot put with a throw of 35’ 7.5”. Rick Ingold, FM track coach, said she had to battle through injury during the meet.

However, she came up twoinches short of throwing in the finals. Berry had been nursing a sore knee during the week leading up to the event.

The injury didn’t stop her from improving on a personal record in weight throw. In her second throw of the meet, Berry sent the weight flying six-feet further than her previous best. She finished in 15th place with a throw of 37’

Berry said, “This was a good experience. It was an honor to throw with the best throwers in the state.”

She added, “Go Jets.”

Berry also said she is looking forward to the spring and the outdoor season. She is hoping to return to the Ohio High School Athletic Association state tournament. She finished 11th in state during last year’s tournament.

Arcanum’s Erica Zimmer qualified for girls shot put and weight throw, but was unable to attend.

Berry was not the only Cross County Conference athlete competing in the OATCCC state tournament.

The Twin Valley South girls 4x800M Relay team earned a trip to the podium with an eighth place finish. Aaron Deaton, also of Twin Valley South, earned another state championship title with a throw of 53’ 11.25” in boys shot put.

He was the OHSAA Division III champion in shot put last year.

GREENVILLE – Greenville graduate Tripp Davis, son of Gretchen and Mark Davis and grandson of John and Marty Davis and the late Nils and Collette Eikenberry, a 6’1” left handed pitcher begins his third season in the Kansas City Royals system and begins his second season throwing sidearm.

“I’ve been doing it for just under a year now,” Davis told the Early Bird Newspaper in a recent interview of his switch to sidearm. “I pitched the whole season in Idaho sidearm. It was a rough two months of learning during spring training and then extended spring training, but once I actually went into games for the season that was it.”

“I feel comfortable with it now,” said Davis. “It’s just trying to get as many reps as possible to build the muscle memory and make that the new normal.

I threw the same way for

24 years of my life so I had to basically throw everything out that I knew and learn how to do this.”

“I start normally and then I kinda dive down into it,” Davis explained of his sidearm delivery. “It’s a lot of arm side run and it drops a little bit. It’s a fastball and just the way it’s rolling off my hand from that angle it’s going down and into a lefty and down and away from a righty.”

“I throw a slider… a sweeping pitch that is to get a lefty out, a strikeout pitch for a lefty,” Davis said of his second pitch.

“The third pitch that I am trying to develop is just kinda weird from down there. It’s a changeup. It’s coming along.”

“I would need a changeup to go after a righty, but it’s tough down there just trying to find the right feeling,” added Davis.

Davis can be seen in Greenville on a few occasions each year visiting family and friends while fitting in several workouts.

“I’m never really back

Tripp Davis shown with Keith Foutz, Early Bird owner recently visited the Early Bird Newspaper office (Gaylen Blosser Photo)

here for too long,” Davis said. “It’s usually just Thanksgiving, Christmas and then briefly after the season ends. Just get all my visits in with family, see the grandparents and all the cousins and visit with my parents for a few days.”

“If you can’t keep the fun childish side of baseball in your heart all the time it can eat you up,” continued Davis. “At the end of the day you just have to be there to play the game because you love the game. I wouldn’t sit

on a bus for a 12-hour bus ride and get off and play 3 games and get back on with a bus with no air conditioning if I didn’t love to play baseball… there are plenty of other things I could be doing.”

“It’s a game, but it’s a game within the game going on all the time,” concluded Davis. “I have to focus on what I am doing to get better and focus all the energy into that instead of the other stuff.”

Hawks’ Barga District Coach of the Year

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY – MV’s Tim Barga was named the Southwest District Division IV boys basketball coach of the year by the Associated Press.

Awards are not new to Barga having receive a District Coach of the Year award before as well as a State Coach of the Year Award in 32 years of coaching.

“It makes you feel good,” Mississinawa Valley Coach Tim Barga said of his District award. “Every time my name is mentioned out there Mississinawa is behind it and that is what I am working for… Mississinawa.”

Barga coached the Versailles Lady Tigers before moving on to turn the Yellow Springs Lady Bulldogs basketball program around. One of the state’s winningest coaches, Barga passed the 500 career win mark while coaching the

Bulldogs in 2013.

In his second year at the helm of the Hawks, Barga turned the program around ending the 2015-16 season with a16-8 overall record, the most wins by MV in 23 seasons.

“When I did go over there the superintendent, the principal, the AD talked to me… 4-6 games the first year if that and they said it would probably go downhill the next year,” said Barga. “I told them I would like to see the boys in open gym first before I make a decision. I went and watched them.”

“To tell you the truth I thought I saw some talent.

I thought there was talent there to work with. As a matter of fact, I knew there was talent there.”

The Blackhawks finished third in the Cross County Conference with a 10-3 league record and was the only team to defeat CCC co-champion Miami East.

“Everything worked

out right for the kids that night,” continued Barga.

“We outplayed them. All six of the players that we had on the court outplayed them. We out hustled them.”

Well known for his team’s defensive play over the years, Barga brought his defensive knowledge to the Hawks team.

“Our defense this year really came around,” Barga said. “We set a new school record for defense at 49 points a game. If you want to set a school record… get that one. That’s the one you want to set.”

“Beating Miami East gave us a lot of confidence and knowing what we could do going against Bethel,” Barga stated.

“Beating Bethel was a big game also for us. We had a huge crowd at that game and the crowd helped us win that game also.”

Along with the wins came larger crowds and fan support for the boys from the Ohio side of the

we were on the same page,” continued Stonebraker. “Our whole court was off balance.”

Marion used the first 3:48 of the fourth quarter to score nine unanswered points to stretch their lead to 41-27.

“We got killed on the boards offensively and defensively,” Stonebraker stated. “We couldn’t make a shot and that hurt. They were making a lot of shots against

us. It was their night… it was their day. Kudos to them.”

Versailles would use the final 3:56 of the game to outscore the Spartans 8-7 accounting for a 48-35 gameending score.

“We had some bad luck this week with some players playing sick,” Stonebraker said. “You’re talking really

“You get people all the sudden… we’re winning,” Barga said. “People say I’m going to go watch the team and see how they do.

Lady Tigers bow out of tournament at Springfield

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

SPRINGFIELD – The Versailles Lady Tigers strong start in the Regional Championship game was not enough as the Marion Pleasant Lady Spartans battled back to win 48-35.

“I’ll take this team… I’ll take these 14 players we had on this tournament team over any other team,” said Versailles Coach Jacki Stonebraker. “They lost together… the won together and they were truly a team this year.”

“I thought we were playing some of our best basketball the past couple of weeks,” added Stonebraker.

“We just couldn’t put it together today.”

Lauren Monnin gave the Lady Tigers a 2-0 first quarter lead.

A Kami McEldowney jumper and a Monnin bucket had Versailles taking a 6-3 advantage.

Pleasant closed to 6-5 only to have the Lady Tigers score eight unanswered points to lead 14-5.

“We were playing well,” said Stonebraker. “We were playing as a team. They didn’t know what hit them. We kinda hit them in the mouth at the beginning of the game and then they came back and we could never recover.”

Marion Pleasant would knock down two baskets in the final minute to trail 14-9 after one period of play.

Versailles did not score in the second until 2:28 to even the score at 15-15.

A Monnin jumper had the Lady Tigers back on top 1715.

Pleasant took an 18-17 lead before sending McEldowney to the line to go

2-for-2 with the teams going to the break with Versailles leading 19-18.

The Spartans used a trey to open third quarter scoring taking a 21-19 lead, a lead that would prove to hold up to the final buzzer of the game.

Trailing 32-23 Versailles would get Monnin and Danielle Winner baskets late in the third sending the teams to the final period of play with Pleasant leading 32-27.

“We just didn’t have it today,” Stonebraker said. “We didn’t have all our firepower.

We just couldn’t get anything rolling offensively.”

“I just didn’t feel like

sick with strep and other sicknesses that you can’t recover very quickly from.”

“I am so proud of them,” Stonebraker said of the success the young team had in 2016. “We want to be back.

We will be back. We’re going to keep coaching these girls and continue to get better.”

GREENVILLE – The Young Careerist Committee of the Greenville Business & Professional Women’s Club (BPW) hosted the Jan. 14 meeting at the Brethren Retirement Community.

Guest speaker Kara Allread was introduced by Committee Chair Jennifer Bruns. Kara was a former BPW Ohio Young Careerist winner. The Young Careerist program’s focus is on the organization of speaking and writing, applying topics to appropriate audiences, and presentation and speaking skills.

Together, these skills help to make participants more powerful as employees or employers.

Allread spoke of her journey of winning the local, regional and state competition in 2005 to go on to represent the state of Ohio at the national BPW convention in Philadelphia, PA. She thanked the club for the ability to grow her critical thinking skills, learn to speak her mind and also the wonderful networking opportunities that has formed lifetime friendships. Kara currently serves as Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer at the Brethren Retirement Center and is active in many local service clubs.

Former Greenville BPW Scholarship winner Hannah Linebaugh was introduced by Jennifer. Hannah is a 2014 graduate of Wright State University with a Bachelor’s degree in English. She chose creative writing as her concentration and minored in psychology. In the summer of 2015 she accepted the position as a naturalist educator with the Darke County Parks District.

Shown are Hannah Linebaugh, BPW member Jennifer Bruns and Kara Allread.

Hannah thanked the club for the scholarship she received in 2010 and noted that she earned scholarships to pay for her entire bachelor degree education.

She spoke of her many duties at Darke County Park Districts which include writing grants, press releases, editor and contributor to their newsletter, and teaching the junior naturalist program.

Hannah is involved with the Ohio Civil War Re-enactment performances and has created her own historical character and makes her own ‘period’ clothing.

Hanna said she has a great interest in creative writing and has written a series

of letters to ‘her’ daughter. She hopes to have this memoir published someday.

The Greenville BPW Club’s mission is to achieve equity for all women in the workplace through advocacy, education, and information. The Club holds fundraisers through the year to raise money to grant scholarships to the young women of Darke County. The club meets the second Thursday of every month for a dinner meeting. Those interested in learning more about the club can contact Membership Chair Brenda Miller at 996-1741 or through brenda@newmadisonpubliclibrary.org.

Bowl for Kids Sake generates $42,000 GREENVILLE – This year’s Bowl For Kids’ Sake event was held on March 4 and 5 at Bel-Mar Lanes in Sidney and Treaty Lanes in Greenville. The event was supported by the sponsorship of 165 businesses, general donations, or donated prizes. Three hundred fifty-eight made up the 73 participating teams. To date, their preliminary figures show this year’s event raised $42,000.

The agency would like to thank the Shelby and Darke County communities, and all the businesses and individuals who supported their biggest fundraiser of the year. The money raised will go towards their school-based “Buddies” program, and our Community-based program that establishes one-to-one mentoring relationships between caring adults and children.

Last year the local agency served over 500 children in Shelby and Darke County.

Prizes this year were set by donation amounts.

Participants who raised at least $40 ($25 for those under 18) were given an event t-shirt, those who reached $50 were entered into a drawing for a $50 Amazon Gift Card, those who reached $150 qualified for a Big Brothers Big Sisters Sweatshirt, and entries into the Grand Prize drawing were given to those who reached at least $300

in donations, and a $50 Kroger gift card was able to be earned for those who donated $500. Prizes also went to the highest and lowest scoring bowler and teams, and to the teams that were the voted “best team names” for Shelby and Darke County.

After the event Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County drew the winners of the Bowl for Kids’ Sake 2016 Prizes: The Grand Prize Winner of $500 or an iPad mini was Joe Rizzo, who bowled on one of the four teams sponsored by Cargill. Rizzo also won the prize for the bowler who donated the most money. He won an overnight stay in Cleveland, two tickets to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a $25 gift card to Cracker Barrel, a $25 Amazon Gift Card, and a KitchenAid Gift Bundle, and a $50 Kroger gift card.

He donated back the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tickets, the Kitchen Aid Gift Bundle, and the Kroger gift card for Big Brothers Big Sisters to use for prizes in their upcoming Duck Derby event.

Bowl for Kids’ Sake is a nationally recognized event, and almost 700 agencies across the county participate and hold the event. Big Brothers Big Sisters evaluates its effectiveness and impact on a national and local level.

Results show that children who are mentored are more likely to improve in school and in their relationships with family and peers and are less likely to skip school or use illegal drugs or alcohol.

Volunteer mentors are always needed; call the office at 492-7611 or 5479622 for more information. Big Brothers Big Sisters is a United Way member agency.

Cline helps local church as part of Eagle Scout project CLINTON RANDALL

South Intermediate students shown above have been honored for their artwork or art essays for Youth Art Month. From left to right, Chloe Good, Saige Fellers, Seth Shaffer, Nolan Ellis and Hanna York.

South students’ work on display for Youth Art Month SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – South Intermediate fifth- and sixth-graders are learning there’s more to art than meets the eye.

Interpretation, evaluation and opinion play an important role in looking at art, no matter the medium, says teacher Julie Brewer.

Five South students were recently honored for their art and expressions of art in both painting and written essay during receptions held in Columbus for Youth Art Month, which happens to be the month of March.

Sixth-grader Seth Shaffer’s artwork is part of the 36th Annual Young People’s Art Exhibit, while fellow sixth-grader Chloe Good’s painting was selected to be part of the 2016 Youth Art Month Exhibit.

Saige Fellers, also a sixthgrader learned she earned a 1st place award in the Art Criticism Essay Contest, with fifth-graders Nolan Ellis and Hanna York both placing third in the essay contest.

Three of the students traveled with family members and Brewer to attend receptions in Columbus on March 5.

Ellis, 11, said he was “pretty excited” upon learning his essay had been selected for an award. He wrote an opinion piece on El Anatsui’s piece titled Fresh and Fading Memories – which depicts a building covered with metal bottle caps. El Anatusi is an artist from Ghana.

What did Ellis think about this contemporary piece of art?

“I thought it meant he was losing some of his memories from his other art works and making new memories while completing his new works,” Ellis said.

Fellers’ opinion of the piece varied somewhat.

“I thought it meant that every bottle cap was individually a bad or a good

memory of the artist’s,” explained Fellers, 11. When Fellers learned her essay had earned the top spot in her division of sixth- through eighth-graders, she thought it “was pretty cool.”

Submitting a tempura painting of a refugee’s home earned Good, 12, a spot in a display of youth art at the State Teacher Retirement System building in downtown Columbus.

Good said she was aware of the plight of refugees around the world. Her painting depicts both the outside and inside of a home.

Good said she “definitely will pursue” art in the future.

Brewer said she tries to provide her students with topics that are relevant to their world. Good got her idea for the refugee house when her class studied the unit on habitats.

Other topics include the solar system, for example, with students discussing the latest findings on Mars – a topic students might be discussing in science class “Sometimes I get lucky and we study cross-curricular units, which makes more sense to the students,” Brewer said.

Brewer offers her students a time for discussion opportunities while studying art.

“We look at artwork as critically as possible,” she said. “We have discussions about why this is art.

Students record their own thoughts from our discussions.”

Brewer said she selected student artwork from the first semester of the current school year to submit to the Ohio Art Education Association for inclusion in this year’s art competitions.

Saturday’s receptions included special speakers, certificates presented to students and gifts for students, including a sketch book.

Besides the STRS building, some of the art is on display at the Rhodes Office Tower, also in downtown Columbus.

UNION CITY, Ind. – On Sunday, Union City Community High School junior Jeffery Cline presented the New Lisbon Christian Church in Union City, Ind. with a new steeple sign he helped create as part of his Eagle Scout community project.

The church congregation gathered in the parking lot of the church for the dedication ceremony as Jeffery thanked everyone and read Bible verses from Galatians 5:22-25. Pastor Sam Davenport followed with a prayer, as the church members joined hands to form a circle around the new sign. The original sign was taken down years ago when the steeple was rebuilt and never put back up due to deterioration, according to church members.

The steeple sign, which reads “New Lisbon Christian Church Est. 1839 Blt. 1881 Disciples of Christ” took Cline, and volunteers, approximately 208 hours to complete. This was the final project for Cline before a board will review his work and decide on a possible Eagle Scout promotion. An Eagle Scout is the highest achievement

or rank attainable in the Boy Scouting program of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA).

Cline is an active member in Troop 184 – where he is the Senior Patrol Leader and Junior Assistant Scout Master. The Troop 184 Scout Master is Larry Young.

“Scouting has turned Jeffery into a fine young leader,” said Young. “He has stepped up by helping the younger scouts in their advancements.”

In addition to Boy Scouts, Cline has been involved three years on the Union City Community High School varsity wrestling team, three years on the golf team, three years as an FFA member, Community Volunteer with the Union City Soccer Club and is a Junior Decon for New Lisbon Christian Church for the past six years. Cline is also the official Indians mascot for his high school sporting events.

“We are extremely proud of him for all of his dedication he has to his troop, his family and friends,” said Jeffery’s mother Tammy Cline.

“Scouting has shaped him into the person he has become today. The opportunities that have been given to him are things that he would have never experi-

Commission to consider bids for recycling and shred days SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – Commissioners on March 7 opened bids for the county’s upcoming electronic recycling day, household hazardous waste collection day and county shred day.

But due to some bids being emailed, commissioners on March 9 voted to remove a motion made March 7 to have Krista Fourman, director of the county’s solid waste district, review the bids for the county’s shred and electronic recycling dates.

Four bids for shred day, set for June 11, were originally emailed to Fourman.

Commissioners now are requesting sealed bids be delivered to Fourman for consideration.

Commissioners also are hoping to receive more than the one bid Fourman received for the electronic recycling date, scheduled for May 26.

Fourman said she sent requests for bids to 30 companies on the EPA’s recommended list for electronic recycling. Only one bid from Green Wave Computer Recycling of Indianapolis was received.

Fourman pointed out to commissioners on March 7 that finding a company to take televisions for recycling was becoming an issue.

The new dates for receiving sealed bids for both recycling events has been set for March 25 with bid openings planned for the March 28 regular commission meeting.

Commissioners opened the following bid requests for the household hazardous waste collection day scheduled for Oct. 8: * Environmental Enterprises Inc. - $12,147.42 * CleanHarbors Environmental Services $16,239.07 Fourman will conduct a review of these bids and report to commissioners, who will make a decision in the near future.

Also March 7, commission approved a bid for

$3,887.50 submitted by Wiley Well Drilling Inc. of Union City, Ind., for a well to be completed on Chase Road, near the Darke County Airport.

In other business March 9, commissioners: * Set 1:30 p.m. March 30 to open sealed bids for resurfacing of various county and township roads. * Accepted a proposal for $3,800 from Garmann Miller & Associates to conduct a review for the restoration of the Darke County Courthouse steps. Two additional proposals were received, including Construction Resources Inc. for $4,900 and Mote & Associates for $5,500.

sive to buy and not all families can afford them. The extra weight helps create a calming effect for children with autism or a disability.

For more info on the school please see www.rcnd.org.

Club member Lewcrese Shields explained they are put together by inserting a certain number of plastic pellets into each square.

The blankets are textured with flannel on one side and fleece on the other which is also comforting to the children. The Club got the idea during National Autism Awareness Week and a member who has a grandson in the school. They followed instructions on a “Man Sewing” You Tube video.

Every year the Club makes a Charity Quilt to be auctioned off at its annual Quilt Show in October. This year the proceeds will go to Journey Home, a residence for homeless veterans in Winchester Ind. The Club also donated two books to the library: Make & Love Quilts by Mary Katherine Fons and AmishInspired Quilts for Today’s Home by Carl Hentsch.

Many thanks for adding these beautiful books to our collection.

NEW WESTON – State of the Heart Care will hold the nonprofit agency’s third annual Heart & Sole 5k on April 2 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.

“Eldora Speedway is a great home for our event and we hope to see it continue to grow this year,” stated Erica Wentworth, Race Director and Business Development Specialist for State of the Heart Care.

“The great thing about this event is it draws in not only runners, but individuals and families that wish to walk the course are welcome and can still support a great cause.” 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.

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 18.

After that date, the price is $25 per adult and the pricing stays the same for children. Wentworth said that shirts could not be guaranteed after March 18.

“There will be plenty of post-race refreshments and door prizes,” Wentworth 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, www.stateoftheheartcare.org or register online at: https://runsignup.com/Race/OH/NewW eston/3rdAnnualHeartand Sole5K The Heart & Sole

Adult grief support in Randolph County WINCHESTER, Ind. – Those who have lost a loved one often find it difficult to continue the day to day routine that they used to enjoy. Often, those who are grieving feel alone and isolated in their grief. To help those who are grieving, State of the Heart Care will offer an Adult Grief Support Group beginning March 29 and continuing each Tuesday through May 3 at the Shalom Center in Winchester, Ind. The sessions are free and open to anyone, regardless of association with hospice care.

“The Grief Support Groups are helpful to those who have lost a loved one and are experiencing grief that goes with that loss,” explained Meredith Carpe, a Licensed Social Worker who conducts grief groups for the agency. State of the Heart has offices in Portland, Greenville and Coldwater. The Adult Grief Support Group will meet from 6-8 p.m.

Coin Club’s 50th annual show slated

There is free parking and admission. Food is also available onsite.

24 Hour Heavy Duty Towing & Recovery Service Discount Rates Available Local & Long Distance

“The one comment that we hear consistently from those attending the sessions is that they find comfort learning that they are not the only ones experiencing grief and feelings of loss,” Carpe said. “Once they find out that others feel as they do, they begin to open up about their feelings. It is healthy to acknowledge grief and realize it is a natural part of life when you lose someone you love.”

Heartland will honor doctors on March 30 GREENVILLE – Heartland of Greenville is honoring March 30, National Doctor’s Day. The annual celebration recognizes the importance of physicians and the numerous contributions they make to modern medicine.

The date of Doctor’s Day originates from the date widely considered to represent the discovery of anesthesia. On March 30, 1842, in Barrow County, Ga., Crawford B. Long, M.D., administered inhaled ether to a patient before removing a tumor. What originally was observed as a day honoring doctors in Georgia grew in to a national annual observance, including the customary red carnation as a symbol.

Today, Heartland of Greenville is continuing the tradition by passing out carnations to the doctor’s that touch the lives of each of their patients.

Heartland of Greenville, located at 243 Marion Drive, Greenville, is part of the HCR ManorCare family. The HCR ManorCare health care family comprises centers that are leading providers of shortterm post-acute services and long-term care. With 60,000 caregivers nationwide, the HCR ManorCare centers are preeminent care providers in their communities. These locations operate primarily under the respected Heartland, ManorCare Health Services and Arden Courts names.
