THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF THE GREAT DARKE COUNTY FAIR!

Second information session delivers different angles on heroin epidemic CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – A second information session was held Saturday evening to help bring heroin awareness to the Darke County community. After the first meeting in Arcanum, Saturday’s session was held at the First Heavy Metal Church of Christ in downtown Greenville. The events are the idea of organizer Samantha Wolfe, who has been directly impacted by the devastating affects of heroin. “I just want to help educate the public and let the

people out there know there are resources available…all they have to do is ask for help,” Wolfe said. In addition to Wolfe, those in attendance heard from George Kenworthy of White Horse Ministries, Joe Van Vickle of the Darke County Coroner’s Office, John Wiltshire from Hope In Recovery, Tisha Shepherd of Recovery & Wellness and a personal testimony from recovering drug addict Justin Powell. The meeting was followed by a question and answer session for the panel of speakers. “These are the ones we need to ask questions too,” Det. Eric Hanes of the Darke

County Sheriff’s Office said about the recovering addicts. Attending the information session were members of local law enforcement, adult probation, school district administration, local

pastors and a local judge… to name a few. Wolfe says she hopes to hold more sessions in the near future – dates will be posted once confirmed and scheduled.

office. Harter said she’s enjoyed working with the different elected commissioners during the past 12 years. “Their different personalities have made it very interesting,” she said with a laugh. “Every day is different when you come in and there’s always something new. The commissioners have all been very good to work with. They’ve all been very concerned about the wellbeing of their constituents.” Working with the public also has been enjoyable for Harter. “When I first started at the county offices I had no idea how the county worked,” Harter said. Today, Harter not only

answers the phone and connects callers to the person they’re looking for, she also pays invoices for maintenance and utilities for county buildings, fills in for Bliss during commission sessions. She also schedules appointments for the three commissioners as well as other county employees with offices in the county’s administration building, next to the courthouse. Harter said she decided to retire in order to spend more time with her family, which includes two sons, Tim Harter and Todd and his wife Jody Harter and their three daughters, Cali, 11, Libby, 9, and Ellie, 4. Harter also plans to spend more time with her husband and “slow down and enjoy life” with her hobbies, yard work, flea markets and garage sales. The couple are planning a trip south during the 127 Yard Sale this coming summer. Callers and visitors to the county commission office will now be greeted by Charity Hutt, who was hired earlier this month to fill Harter’s position. Hutt, who also serves as the Adams Township elected fiscal officer, lives with her husband Rob in Darke County. They are parents of two children, Amber, 17,

a junior at Greenville High School and Alex, 15, a GHS freshman. Hutt previously worked in the Miami County Commission office and says she’s happy to be working in Darke County. “It’s closer to home and family, my kids and their activities,” she said. Amber is a dance student with Barbara Rethlake Dance Studios in Greenville, plays tennis for GHS and also sings with the high school’s Collage singing group. Alex plays year-round soccer as well as with the GHS varsity soccer team and also participates in track. A 1991 GHS graduate, Hutt attended Lima Tech, earning an associate’s degree in business management and computer programming. Prior to working the past 10 years in the Miami County Commissioners’ office, Hutt worked 11 years with Upper Valley Medical Center in Troy with their HR and IT departments as well as working as a secretary for the hospital’s maintenance department. Now spending a couple of weeks training with Harter, Hutt says everyone she’s met “is wonderful. They’re so nice. And its family-oriented. This is home.”

sell Thompson, the fire department’s share of the grant is $47,000, which will not only outfit the department with new radios, but also pay the first year’s user fees. Chief Thompson looked at MARCS only radios that could sit on the shelf for a couple years while the county transitions to the new radio system and dual-band radios that could replace its aging radios now and then transition to MARCS. Originally, he thought the department would get 16-18 single band radios or 10-12 dual band radios. Kenwood, radio manufacturer, offered a special promotion that

gives the city 20 dual-band radios at a cost of $44,097. However, the city must act quickly to receive the promotional price. Council is expected to approve the purchase at its next regular meeting. Safety Service Director Curt Garrison also informed council local residents who are not under contract with another electric supplier are receiving letters from Dynergy. According to Garrison, Dynergy is the company the city has entered into contract with through the aggregation process to provide electricity to the community at a rate of 5.29-

cents per kilowatt hour. Council learned if residents want to receive the rate they don’t need to do anything and they will automatically be enrolled. However, if they want to continue to pay their current rate or look for a lower rate they have a short period where they can call Dynergy and opt out of the plan. Residents under contract with another energy supplier are not eligible to enroll until they have completed their current contract. Residents will continue to receive one bill from DP&L that will indicate Dynergy’s usage rate.

Edison State Community College works for you Edison State Community College was chartered in 1973 under provisions of the Ohio Revised Code as the first general and technical college in Ohio. The college thus emerged without special local taxation as a two-year, public, co-educational, state-supported institution of higher learning. Under its charter it is authorized to offer studies in the arts and sciences, technical education and continuing education. By virtue of legislative ac-

tion, the College’s name was changed in 1977 from Edison State General and Technical College to Edison State Community College. After some years of using the revised name of Edison Community College, the College re-instituted the name Edison State Community College.

‘Bright spot’ set to retire; Hutt hired SUSAN HARTLEY

DARKE COUNTY - After working in the Darke County Commission office for 12 years, assistant clerk secretary Patty Harter is retiring at the end of the month. When she went searching for a full time job a dozen years ago, Harter said she wanted to “find something where I didn’t have to work nights or weekends. And the county was a perfect fit.” Prior to her job with the county, Harter and her husband JL ran a furniture company from their home. “We were self-employed, with Harter Furniture, our family-owned business. But it came time for a change,” she said of finding a job with county commission. Commissioner Mike Rhoades said he recalls the day Harter came in to apply for the position. “She just walked in,” Rhoades said. “After the interview, Robin (Bliss) came in and said ‘you’ve got to hire that girl.’ I’m going to miss her. She’s been a bright spot in our office.” Bliss, who serves as the county’s administrative clerk/secretary, said she will “probably cry” on Patty’s last day working in the

GFD wants council to go with MARCS deal RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The city of Greenville’s fire department is moving forward with the eventual changeover to the Multi-Agency Radio Communications Systems (MARCS) proposed by the Darke County Commission. At its March 21 meeting, Greenville City Council learned the MARCS Grant administered through the State of Ohio Fire Marshal’s office will give the city a head start in preparing for the new system. According to Chief Rus-

Local RadioShack faces closing, but not on first list RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The list of RadioShack closings is out and the Greenville store is not on the list of nearly 200 stores that are expected to close on or around April 1. That doesn’t mean Greenville is safe from the ax. On March 8, General Wireless Operations, Inc. (d.b.a. RadioShack) filed for voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 in the United States Bankruptcy Court. On March 20, the initial list of store closings was submitted to the court. The signs at the Greenville location would lead one to believe the local store is on the chopping block – “Everything Must Go,” “Entire Store On Sale” – but a source who was not authorized to speak on behalf of the company is hoping for a better outcome. Greenville was given a May 31 closing date, but that date has not been set in stone. Employees are holding out hope the store that has been part of the Greenville community for 50 years will continue to provide electronics and phones to local residents. The source pointed out RadioShack stores across the nation, even those not threatened with immediate closing, have similar signs. Stores facing closure in the next couple of weeks have signs offering merchandise up to 90 percent off. The company’s public relations firm, Joele Frank,

Wilkinson, Brimmer, Katcher, has refused to confirm or deny a letter has been sent to the Greenville store with a May 31 closing date, stating, “There is no company-wide list of store closings to share at this time. You can check the status of individual stores in your area here: https:// www.radioshack.com/ apps/store-locator. The RadioShack website shows the Greenville, Ohio, store at 535 Wagner Ave. as still open. A press release issued by RadioShack points out “The company is closing approximately 200 stores and evaluating options on the remaining 1,300. The company and its advisors are currently exploring all available strategic alternatives to maximize value for creditors, including the possibility of keeping stores open on an ongoing basis.” RadioShack emerged from bankruptcy two years ago as a privately owned company. Dene Rogers, RadioShack’s president and CEO, said, “Over the course of the past two years, our talented, dedicated team has worked relentlessly in an effort to revitalize the company the RadioShack brand, while providing outstanding service to our customers. We greatly appreciate their hard work and dedication.” RadioShack is pointing to a “surprisingly poor performance of mobility sales, especially over recent month,” as one of the reasons they have begun the Chapter 11 process.

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT

Student cites ‘bedbugs’ as reason to research ‘poison’ Inducing Panic

On March 17 a student reported to the Greenville Middle School resource ofďŹ cer (SRO) about another student who was allegedly searching about poisons during a school computer class. According to the police report, when the reporting student asked the subject, age 12, why she was searching the topic of poison, the subject said she was looking up information in order to make “rat poison to put into cookiesâ€? to give to a teacher “to kill her.â€? She also asked the reporting student not to tell anyone. The reporting student became concerned and did report the incident to the SRO. After school oďŹƒcials conďŹ rmed the incident by checking the search history on the computer the subject was using, she was stopped from going to her next period class and was escorted

to another room. The subject’s father also was called, but told school oďŹƒcials he could not leave work. He gave permission for the Greenville Police and school personnel to question his daughter. When asked why she was searching the topic of poison, the student said she had bedbugs in her home and was really searching for a poison to use to kill them. She also said she made up the story about poisoning the teacher because she didn’t want the other student to know she had bedbugs and didn’t want to create drama. When asked why she thought telling a student she was planning on poisoning and killing someone would not create drama, the student did not have an explanation and began speaking more about the conditions of her home life.

The case was sent to the prosecutor’s oďŹƒce. Shoplifting

On March 16 oďŹƒcers were dispatched to Walgreens on East Main Street in reference to a theft from the store. According to the report, a known male subject, Jerry Unger, was seen by store employees putting a bag of jelly beans in his pocket. Upon arrival the oďŹƒcers learned Unger entered the store with two females, Amy Baldwin and Sheena Yeomans. All three subjects were seen by store employees going up and down the aisles grabbing merchandise and putting it in dierent locations inside the store. An employee who witnessed Unger take the candy asked him if he had anything in his pockets and Unger exited the store without rendering payment then ran to the Main Street bridge where she lost sight of him. It was learned Unger had a felony warrant through Darke County for probation violation. An oďŹƒcer located Unger in the 1200 block of Sweitzer Street at a cafĂŠ, where he was placed under arrest without incident. Unger was served his citation for theft at DCSO, where he was incarcerated without bond and advised he is trespassed from Walgreens. The two female subjects will be advised of the trespass when they are located by police. Drugs

On March 16 an oďŹƒcer observed a vehicle traveling eastbound on West Third Street near Vine Street. The vehicle drove directly in front of the ofďŹ cer who was stopped at the intersection of West Third and Vine streets. Upon checking registration, the oďŹƒcer discovered the owner of the vehicle to

have a suspended operator’s license. The operator of the vehicle matched the physical description of the registered owner. The ofďŹ cer conducted a traďŹƒc stop for the driving under suspension violation. Upon approaching the vehicle, the oďŹƒcer found the operator to be Jeremiah Bunger and the front seat passenger to be Daniel Wagner. Bunger said he just paid to have his license reinstated and he doesn’t know why his license is suspended. LEADS/NCIC showed the defendant was under a non-compliance suspension from March 10 to indeďŹ nite with a FRA (lack of ďŹ nancial responsibility/lack of insurance) from now through March 10, 2020. While speaking with the subjects, the oďŹƒcer detected a strong odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. Bunger denied there being any marijuana inside the vehicle. Both Bunger and Wagner were asked to exit the vehicle so the oďŹƒcer could conduct a probable cause search. After exiting the vehicle, Wagner removed an orange case from inside his coat pocket as well as a green grinder. Wagner said the case contained two “bowls.â€? The green grinder had a green leaf residue in it with the odor and appearance of marijuana. The two “bowlsâ€? had burnt residue inside, also with the odor of burnt marijuana. The oďŹƒcer conducted a probable cause search of the vehicle and there was no other contraband located. Bunger was cited for driving under suspension and Wagner was cited for possession of marijuana paraphernalia. Both subjects were released and the vehicle was released to a valid driver. The paraphernalia items were transported to the Greenville Police Department and placed into evidence. On March 17 an oďŹƒcer was dispatched to Wayne HealthCare emergency room in reference to a disorderly subject. Upon arrival the oďŹƒcer observed

concealed carry permit through Indiana. Fryback and the front seat passenger, a 17-year-old male juvenile were told to exit the vehicle. The weapon was located in a compartment near the steering wheel and was secured by oďŹƒcers for the course of the investigation. While performing a probable cause search a small amount of a green leaf substance was found lying on the seat. Without being questioned, the juvenile said there was marijuana and paraphernalia inside the car, which belonged to him.

GREENVILLE – Dean M. Bornhorst faces up to 11 years in prison after being convicted on felony charges stemming from a DUI crash that killed a Yorkshire man in September. The 25-year-old Bornhorst entered a guilty plea Monday morning in the Darke County Common Pleas Court to one count each of Aggravated Vehicular Homicide (F2), Aggravated Vehicular Assault (F3) and a misdemeanor DUI charge.

Lawmakers urged to reconsider sales tax replacement BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – Darke County Commissioners have joined with other commissions across Ohio putting elected officials on notice they are not in agreement with a proposal to significantly cut local funding by applying a ‘sales tax replacement’ to both Medicaid MCOs and non-Medicaid MCOs. On Monday, Commissioners Mike Rhoades, Mike Stegall and Matt Aultman approved a resolution urging lawmakers to pro-

tect the Medicaid Managed Care Organization (MCOs) tax. According to Rhoades, “we will be sending the resolution to the Senate and the House” along with an explanation of “what we’ll lose” in Darke County. In 2009, Ohio, along with a number of other states began levying a sales tax on MCOs as a way to draw down federal Medicaid dollars, according to information published on the County Commission Association of Ohio website. Darke County Auditor Carol Ginn said Monday if all goes as planned, the county would begin seeing a drop in revenue by July 1 of this year. Ginn said the county would most likely see a drop of half a year’s sale tax revenue for this year, with an entire year’s loss during 2018. For fiscal year 2015, Darke County collected $523,611 in sales tax, according to information provided by commissioners this week. “The county would lose,” Ginn said, at least “520,000 per year” under the new proposal. “That could go higher. Last year we collected more sales tax,” than usual. Ginn also said “from the auditor’s point, we haven’t seen anything yet” officially, concerning the proposal. In their resolution, commissioners state they believe “the solution put forth in the executive budget treats the state and coun-

ties disparately and that what is needed is an equitable solution.” The budget proposal suggests applying a “sales tax replacement” to both Medicaid MCOs and nonMedicaid MCOs, which would yield an estimated $854 million annually for Ohio to continue drawing down the federal Medicaid funds, and which would allow MCOs to recover the entire amount of the cost of the replacement tax. NonMedicaid MCOs would not receive the same benefit. Also if the proposal moves forward, Ohio’s counties would receive a one-time allocation that would range from approximately three months to a year or more of the foregone revenue. Darke County Commissioners attended a regional morning meeting in Brookville on Monday, where several local elected officials were in attendance. “It’s a convoluted piece of legislation,” Stegall said of the proposed. “We want to be equal partners with the state, but they need to meet us half way.” Also Monday, commissioners awarded Michael’s Plumbing, Heating & Air in Greenville the contract to complete a renovation of the rest rooms in the Wayne Lakes beach house. Michael’s was the lowest bid received, at $30.025 for the project, which should be completed by the end of May.

Students learn Real Money, Real World skills BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

NEW MADISON Students from five Darke County schools got a lesson in reality Wednesday, March 22, when they participated in a Real Money, Real World simulation at Tri-Village High School. About 45 high school students from Ansonia, Versailles, Mississinawa Valley, Arcanum and TriVillage were on hand to learn some important life skills, including what it takes financially to raise a family in today’s world. The Real Money, Real World program is hosted by the Darke County Extension Office and Darke County Education Service Center. The financial literacy activity, says Rhonda Williams, OSU Extension Education, teaches teens “what it’s like to be an adult. Why they need to stay in school, go to college or learn a trade.” Upon arrival, students are assigned a career, a monthly salary, and a specific number of children. They visit 14 booths, making monthly spending choices to purchase needed items, including food, clothing, transportation, insurance, and entertainment. One booth dedicated to donating to charity invited those with money left over at the end of the month to consider giving back to their community. The booths were manned by volunteers from local businesses, schools and the extension office. “It was a learning experience,” said Ansonia junior Letitia Millikin. As a pharmacist with one child, Millikin said she budgeted $54 per month for car insurance and $438 per month for food. Tri Village Junior High Principal Lee Morris and

Ryan Class from Hittle Buick GMC manned the transportation booth. “We’ve sold a lot more used than new cars,” Morris said. “I sold one new car to a student, then he was back over here (pointing to the next booth) getting some needed financial advice.” Versailles teacher Zach Sudhoff said the Real Money, Real World activity was a positive experience for his students. “It teaches the kids real life examples that are explicable,” Sudhoff said. After students visited each booth they turned in their budget forms to show if they were able to stay within their allotted budget. Those who succeeded were treated to a piece of candy – choice of a PayDay, $100,000 bar or Smarties from Jodi Rinehart of the Darke County Education Service Center. Those who failed – and there were only a couple – received a Lifesaver candy. Students then gathered together to discuss with what they’d learned by participating in the activity. “What’s something that cost more than you thought it would?” Williams asked. “Childcare,” several

students yelled out. Another surprise expense was car insurance. “It can be expensive,” Williams said, “But it’s one of those things you don’t want to be without.” Least expensive items, students agreed, were entertainment and communications (cell phone, etc.). “But you can make choices on those items,” Williams explained, which is why some of the students thought they were low-cost items. “What’s something else you learned?” Williams asked. The consensus: “When your parents say they can’t afford something, they mean it.” Williams urged the young people to “be responsible in making choices. Think about your wants and needs. Needs are food, clothing, shelter. Wants are communications and entertainment.” Local businesses participating in the Real World, Real Money activity included Kroger, Anthony Wayne Preschool, Hittle Buick GMC, Greenville Federal Bank, Farmers State Bank, and the Party Bus, which offered a variety of entertainment options for students.

Jewish missionary shares at local church GREENVILLE – Jewish missionary Douglas Carmel of the Rock of Israel Ministries will be sharing at the Greenville Church of the Brethren, 421 Central Ave., on April 13, 6:30 p.m., during a special evening worship service. This will be an interactive event where sample Passover foods will be enjoyed by attendees. The Exodus Meal and the Last Supper will be compared. Hebrew Songs will be sung and even the children will be incorporated in the service. An optional feet washing service will be offered. Carmel was raised in a traditional Jewish home in New York and accepted Jesus as Messiah in 1986 at the age of 21. With his family very upset over such a move, the family Rabbi and other Jewish men were called in attempting to persuade

him to renounce his newfound faith. When all else failed, his family rejected his belief, that Jesus was the Messiah, and asked him to move out of their home. Today, Carmel shares in evangelical congregations mostly around the Midwest. He speaks about the need for Jewish evangelism and teaches from the Old Testament showing Jesus from the Jewish Feasts and Mosaic Tabernacle perspective. This event is free and open to the public. They do ask that you RSVP, as space is limited. The deadline is April 4. This is a free event; there will be an offering taken to bless Rock of Israel Ministries. Children are invited. Childcare is available for children 5 and under but you must request this when making your reservation. To reserve, call (937) 548-3583.

The trio consists of: Pastor Gary Bayes (baritone) started Redeemed Trio 13 years ago. Pastor Gary retired in 1999 from the secular world to become a staff pastor at Montgomery Assembly of God Church. After three years there he became the Administrative Pastor at Christian Life Center Church in West Chester for 6 years. He also sang with The Townesmen Quartet along with Barney McFadden. It has been his lifelong dream to minister in Southern Gospel Music and Redeemed Trio has been a big part of this dream come true. Pastor Gary still serves The Ohio Ministry Network as the PCCNA liaison for the Royal Ranger Ministry and Area Commander for the Cincinnati Royal Rangers. He serves his city as the Chairman for the Zoning Board of Appeals. Barney McFadden (lead) has ministered in Southern Gospel Music since he was a teenager. He was raised in southern Indiana and began singing by filling in when a member of The Churchmen quartet became ill. After singing with them for several years, he formed his own trio, The

Majestics. Barney’s full time occupation was a tool and die maker but was able to sing and travel on weekends and back to work on Monday morning. Moving to Ohio because of his job, he formed The Victors Quartet. He also sang with The Townesmen Quartet and The McFadden’s with his wife and son. Barney has recorded numerous records and CDs and was privileged to sing at the National Quartet Convention when it was still in Memphis, Tenn. Barney is currently the Music Director at the Church of the Nazarene in West Milton. From a young age Dale Boreing (tenor) has enjoyed singing and playing in church, where his love for Southern Gospel Music and dream to travel in a group began. After marrying his high school sweetheart, he remained involved, and a huge Southern Gospel fan, for many years while raising his family. It wasn’t until 2009 that his dream came true when Dale was offered the tenor position for the Sonmen Quartet. In 2012 he joined the Mission Quartet where he was blessed to travel nationally for two years. Having shared the stage with many top groups Dale has recorded multiple projects, appeared on the RFD-TV, and sang on the NQC Main Stage. He is excited to continue his singing career with Redeemed Trio.

Church gives cookies to Kairos ministry GREENVILLE – St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Greenville, recently participated again in the Kairos Prison Ministry Program. The church has been involved with this outreach program for approximately 10 years. The church provided 100 dozen homemade chocolate chip cookies to be given to inmates at the New Castle, Ind. Prison in early March. Seventeen volunteers participated with part of those doing home baking while the rest baked cookies at the church in February. St. Paul’s may be a small parish but they can

contribute with others to help make a difference and to share God’s love and grace. Kairos is the largest prison outreach ministry in the USA and volunteers make bi-annual weekend visits to prisons for outreach ministries. Kairos only brings and shares homemade cookies, never purchased cookies from factories. The cookies are given as a tangible sign that other God believing followers can show love and kindness towards other people without knowing them and without asking for anything in return.

Davidson continues Farm Forum tradition PIQUA – On March 18, Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) hosted Farm Forum at Edison State Community College in Piqua, continuing the over 20year tradition of the district. More than 100 farmers and agricultural leaders attended the event. “Since being elected, the farming community in our district has been very helpful in getting me up to speed on these important issues,â€? said Davidson. “My plan for my ďŹ rst Farm Forum was to listen a lot and talk a little. Many of the issues that face farmers in our area are the same issues that concerned me while I was running my small business.â€? The event lasted over the span of Saturday morning and featured Rep. Bob Gibbs (OH-7), who oered a legislative preview for the coming year and the next farm bill. Fred Yo-

der from President Donald Trump’s Agricultural Advisory Committee and Adam Sharp from the Ohio Farm Bureau also addressed attendees. “Kudos to Congressman Davidson for sponsoring a very informative Farm Forum,� said State Rep. Jim Buchy. “He, along with Congressman Bob Gibbs, Adam Sharp from the Farm Bureau, and Fred Yoder, Ag Advisor to President Trump, gave us a good picture of what’s in store for the Agricultural community in DC.� Rep. Davidson took questions from attendees during the forum. He was asked by a farmer about excessive taxation on farmland. Rep. Davidson highlighted his work with the Protect Family Farms and Businesses Act to stop IRS bureaucrats from changing regulations to increase taxes on family farms.

Senators support Water Infrastructure Act WASHINGTON, D.C. –U.S. Senators Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Rob Portman (R-OH) recently introduced the Water Infrastructure Flexibility Act, bipartisan legislation that would provide local communities with increased exibility when complying with Clean Water Act requirements for updates to water infrastructure projects. The bill would also give communities more autonomy as they prioritize and plan for wastewater and storm water investments. “Wastewater infrastructure improvements support local jobs and keep our water clean and safe to drink. It’s critical we support Ohio communities as they work to update these systems and give them the exibility to get projects done based on unique community needs,â€? said Brown. “According to the Environmental Protection Agency, most of the water infrastructure in this country is more than 50 years

old. Local communities are working to upgrade our aging water infrastructure systems, but too often struggle with the costs of inexible government mandates, and families are forced to pay higher utility bills as a result. Our legislation would give local communities more exibility in complying with these mandates and encourage the EPA to work with them in developing innovative and costeective ways to upgrade our water infrastructure so it’s healthy and safe for all Ohioans,â€? said Portman. Many state and local governments face diďŹƒculties meeting Clean Water Act requirements for storm water and wastewater updates. The U.S. Conference of Mayors found, on average, municipalities spend between 6 to 7 cents of every tax dollar on water and sewer systems. This makes water infrastructure the third-largest expense for cities, after education and emergency personnel.

I Don’t Have What it Takes to be Rich Ryan’s World by Ryan Berry Managing Editor bluebagmedia.com

It’s a goodRYAN thing BERRYI’m MANAGING not rich. I don’t want to EDITOR say I don’t have the class to pull it o because I can be classy with the best of them. I already stick my pinky out when I drink my low calorie Skinny Vanilla Latte from Starbucks. Who am I kidding? I don’t drink anything that has the word skinny in it. My problem with being rich is I’m too nice and don’t want to burden other people. We took a trip to New York City a few weeks ago and learned what being rich is all about. Unlike the rich, we were looking for the best hotel at the cheapest price. We really need to send a thank you card to Hotwire – you’ll see why in the next paragraph. My oldest daughter qualiďŹ ed to throw shot put at a national track and ďŹ eld meet in the Big Apple and her coach and his wife were also making the trip. To make things easy, we decided we would stay in the same hotel. My wife and the coach agreed to go with the aforementioned booking site, but you don’t know which hotel you get until you hit the button

Hotel charged $70+ a night to park. I paid $72 to park for three days in the other lot. I felt like I got a great deal until I realized I actually paid over 70 freaken dollars to park my car for three days. The ďŹ rst instruction we gave our kids when we got into the hotel room was, “DON’T TOUCH ANYTHING.â€? The mini-fridge was o-limits as where the candy bars and bottles of liquor. When they put on the bathrobe with Trump emblazoned on the front we reminded them they didn’t get to keep the robes. When the sta turned down the room that evening they left chocolate candies on the bed and bottles of water on the nightstand. My wife was scared to death if we drank the water or ate the candy her credit card would be charged. I wasn’t worried – the balance wasn’t that big. Trump wouldn’t get

much from us. I could have gotten used to the view. We were on the 24th oor looking out toward the One World Trade Center. To see the city lit up at night was beyond incredible. It looked just like every movie I’ve ever seen. When we were checking out, I suggested we call the front desk and have someone come get our luggage. My wife vetoed my suggestion. I couldn’t live in New York City. I like driving too much. Given the choice of driving behind a slow moving tractor or riding a subway car packed so full it looks like Walmart on Black Friday, I will take rural traďŹƒc jams every time.

agreeing to the price. They put in what they wanted and let my youngest daughter hit the button. I wasn’t there when the hotel popped onto the screen, but I would have loved to have seen their reaction. My reaction was, “Are you kidding me,â€? which was quickly followed by “How can we afford that?â€? The hotel that popped onto the screen was the Soho Trump Hotel. To be honest, I felt like the Beverly Hillbillies as we pulled up to this majestic hotel. I could swear my wife about ripped the bellhop’s arm o when he tried to take our suitcase from her. We jumped out of the car in hoodies and jeans and the bellhops were wearing suits and ties (probably designer) with nice overcoats. On the bright side, they thought I was her driver. When she checked in they did request a credit card with a bigger balance. I kind of wish she would have told them we left our gold card on the kitchen table. They took our luggage to the room and I asked my wife if she tipped them. “I didn’t have anything smaller than a ten,â€? she said.

Versailles Lady Tigers OHSAA D-III state runners-up GAYLEN BLOSSER

COLUMBUS – The Versailles Lady Tigers fell two points short, 56-54 to the Gilmour Academy Lady Lancers in the 20162017 OHSAA D-III state championship game. “Our girls were ready today,� said Versailles Coach Jacki Stonebraker. “They really were.� The independent Catholic school located in Gates Mills, 15 miles east of downtown Cleveland

I have to give her a lot of credit. Her kids played tough and stayed tough.â€? The teams played to a 12-12 tie after one period of play with Camille Watren accounting for eight Versailles points. Period No. 2 had Versailles taking the period by a 14-11 count with the teams tied at 14-14, 18-18 and 21-21 before a Danielle Winner stick back and a Kami McEldowney three-pointer had the Lady Tigers leading 26-21.

We didn’t have enough time – we just needed another two or three seconds (on the ďŹ nal play).â€? The Lacers made 6-15 threes on the day; Versailles 6-16 triples.

Versailles outrebounded the Lancers, 36-28, including 19 oensive rebounds. “I really felt throughout the entire game we won the battle of the hustle plays and we played with everything we had out there,â€?

Stonebraker added. “It’s everybody hanging out together and having a lot of fun.â€?

Versailles Coach Jacki Stonebraker – beyond basketball GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

VERSAILLES – Lady Tigers Coach Jacki Stonebraker is much more than just one of the state’s most successful varsity girls basketball coaches with a 270-92 lifetime record including six Final Four appearances, two State Championship titles and two State Runners-Up in just 14 years of coaching. Coach Stonebraker; wife, mother of three school-age children and high school teacher manages to juggle no less than three major roles while leading one of the state’s most proven girls basketball programs. “It takes a lot of people around me to help out,” said Stonebraker. “My husband picks up a lot of stuff during the season and does a lot of the housework, the laundry, all that kind of stuff.” “Number one, my husband (Shane),” Stonebraker noted of where her support comes from. “Number two my kids (daughter Brooke and sons Connor and Maddox) and number three my family. My mom and dad (Jim and Karen Raterman) and my in-laws (Dave and Irene Stonebraker). They’re just always so encouraging.” “Sometimes he has to be Mr. Mom and luckily it’s during the winter season

where you can’t get outside and all your outside work,” Jacki said of husband Shane. “A lot of Friday and Saturday nights when the boys (high school) aren’t playing, that’s our date night. It’s vacuuming the floor, dusting the house and cleaning up around the house.” “On the coaching end, my assistants do a ton. Every one of them have a certain job and they know what their strengths are and I just let them do those things.” A typical day for the Versailles coach begins with a 30-60 minute early morning workout before “shipping off by 7:15 a.m. in my van to school – me and the three kids,” said Coach Stonebraker. The coach and her three children spend the day at school before the four go directly to basketball practice after school. “Either they are practicing in the gym or helping with the team – they’re managers on the team,” Stonebraker said of a typical practice day. “Then we just go home and do our homework and I get ready for my next day at school, my kids get ready for the next day of school.” Game day is much the same for the Stonebrakers until the final school bell rings. “On game days the kids

like to go to Coach (Kim) Custenborder’s house and do the whole team meal thing,” Stonebraker said “They really enjoy that. I allow them to do that while I stay back here and just get as much work done as I can between the game and school’s ending.” “I’ve always said the kids go to bed at nine o’clock so it gives me an extra hour because I need to go to bed early too. I’m an early riser and I go to bed early. From 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. it’s usually my quiet time.” Coach Stonebraker encourages her children to get involved in sports other than basketball. “Every sport they can try I want them to try,” said Stonebraker. I encourage them outside of basketball season, volleyball, baseball, softball, track – anything they want to do. I’m all for playing two to three sports.” Known for her successful high school basketball career at Versailles and college playing days at Bowling Green University, Stonebraker encourages her children to develop interests in areas other than sports. “We all have our interests, mine being sports,” shared Stonebraker,” my daughter loves to cook, she loves to bake, so I have really encouraged that.” “Sports is just an outside

activity,” said Stonebraker. “You learn a lot of lessons from it but what really matters is how you can affect people. I have a quote: ‘TO THE WORLD YOU JUST MAY BE ONE PERSON BUT TO ONE PERSON YOU MAY BE THE WORLD’, that is really something that I try to help the girls build their character with.” The “mom side” of Coach Stonebraker was never more evident, though unnoticed by most, immediately following the Lady Tigers two point loss in the final seconds to Gilmour in the State Championship. As time ran out, Coach Stonebraker walked direct-

ly to her young son, giving him a smile while consoling the eight year old standing next to the Lady Tigers basketball team. “He was so upset,” said Stonebraker. “He was sobbing he was so upset, and I said, “it’s ok, its ok. We didn’t win but nobody died. It’s ok. We’re still bringing home a medal. It’s not the color we wanted but it’s still ok’.” Win or lose, Coach Jacki Stonebraker uses her basketball coaching skills, her classroom teaching expertise and most of all her “mom skills” to use what comes, win or lose as life lessons learned.

“I don’t ever want them to think that losing is ok” said Stonebraker. “We need to always try to get that gold but I also want him to realize that it’s not the end of the world. It’s not something that’s going to really affect us as a family, as a staff or as a team – that everybody is still ok.” “Just being able to see kids do great things later in life is what my teaching professions and what my coaching profession is all about,” concluded Coach Jacki Stonebraker. “I’ll take a silver medal just to see how good these kids make of themselves in the future.”

Greenville veteran baseball team faces rugged schedule BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville varsity baseball coach Eric Blumenstock returns seven of eight position players the starting lineup for the start of the 2017 high school season. “I pretty much bring back everybody,” noted Blumenstock. “I have a starter coming back at every position except for second base and I have my eye on a few kids that are going to jump in and do a good job at that spot. I’m bringing back just about everyone I went with last year.” Lost to graduation from the 2016 squad is the Wave’s No. 1 starting pitcher, Tyler Netzley and starting second baseman Jacob Hounshell. “Netzley is gone but Kyle Mills and Owen Paulus are going to jump in and take those spots,” Blumenstock said. “Nice thing about those guys, they’re strike throwers which is going to help with the pitch counts.” The Wave baseball program will be fielding three teams including freshman, junior varsity and varsity squads playing in the GWOC American North Division made up of Vandalia-Butler, Greenville, Piqua, Sidney, Troy and new member, the Tippecanoe Red Devils. With a veteran lineup, Coach Blumenstock looks to improve on the team’s 2016 GWOC North 5-5 record and 11-17 season record with a team that stands towards the top of the conference in experience. “I have a handful of seniors,” noted Blumenstock, “Jason Shields playing first base. The kid has gotten quick, he’s gotten big, he’s put on some weight, he’s put on some thickness. Tanner Ross over at third – I have my guys on the corners.”

Chamber Ag Day honors farming community Craft Beer Education Series at Library BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com DARKE COUNTY – The Darke County Chamber of Commerce held its annual Ag Day on Friday, March 17, to recognize the contributions made by those in farming and agriculturalrelated business. The event has been held for more than 60 years. This year’s Ag Day was attended by more than 270 gathered to honor agriculture. Friday’s event offered the opportunity for participants to attend a Fertilizer Applicator Certification training course, provided by The Ohio State University Extension. The day also included a luncheon, educational exhibits by local businesses and organizations and guest speaker, Dr. Aaron B. Wilson, Ph.D. Wilson, who is with the Byrd Polar & Climate Research Center and OSU, gave a presentation on climate extremes and its effects on agriculture. Offering information on temperature changes and precipitation trends in the 425 Memorial Dr. Greenville, OH 45331

nation as well as in Ohio, Wilson sharing a Power Point with data collected from satellite imagery to show how the temperature across the Earth has risen since the 1960s. “We’ve seen a strong change in temperature,” Wilson pointed out, “since around 1960-65.” Wilson also discussed how scientists are seeing more greenhouse gases, increased water vapor and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, creating more heat close to the Earth’s surface. He also pointed out how “extreme weather events” such as the drought in California, coupled with the state’s recent flooding, is an outcome of temperature change. Also, he explained, the jet stream is changing to a “wavy pattern,” causing storms to move across the country in a slower pattern than normal, which also affects weather patterns. “Across the Midwest, we’re seeing our winter temperatures getting warmer,” he said, as was experienced by Ohioans the past couple months.

Alex Mikos accepted the Agricultural Advocacy Award on behalf of the radio station. This award is given to an advocate for the advancement of agriculture in the community that has demonstrated extensive participation, leadership and support of agriculture.

In 1938, he expanded, building six wooden grain bins with a 1,000 bushel capacity each for local farmers to sell or trade grain for flour. Several expansions through the years led to growth of the business, which is today headquartered in Darke County with additional locations in Brookville and Pitsburg.

GREENVILLE - Greenville’s We Are The Majority team has planned an event to draw attention to the fact that most teens are not abusing drugs or alcohol. On Monday, April 17, the public is invited to participate in the Majority Awareness Walk, set for 10 a.m. at Annie Oakley Park. “We Are The Majority stems from a statewide initiative that 7th- through 12th-graders, that the majority of them do not use and abuse drugs and alcohol. Every year the youthled prevention network holds the We Are the Majority Rally in Columbus,” explained Molly Hunt, GHS senior and team leader. Last year there were 3,000 high school juniors who attended the Columbus rally, Hunt said. “Three from GHS attended. We wanted to bring

it back” to Greenville, said Hunt, who then approached Mayor Steve Willman and Kelly Harrison, adviser and Prevention Specialist with the Recovery and Wellness Centers of Midwest Ohio. Hunt said she shared

with Willman and Harrison her desire to “do this before I graduate. Bring it back to Darke County and have this majority awareness march to show the neighboring cities and the county that not all of us are bad kids, not all of us are doing drugs. There’s a majority of us who are doing good things.” Senior Gracie Coakley used her skills to write a proclamation declaring the week of April 16-22 as Majority Week Awareness, which was officially signed by Mayor Willman. “This was the first proclamation I’ve ever written,” Coakley said, pointing out that designating a week to awareness was “because a lot of our youth and some of the older people in our community might have misconceptions that the majority of teens do use drugs. Because that’s kind of what’s normally publicized in the media. And so we wanted to spread the positive message that the majority of teens don’t and we’re here to say that we don’t as a positive example.” Coakley’s proclamation draws attention to how drug abuse affects everyone: stating: “Whereas, Drug abuse affects every person in Darke County, Ohio, either as a family member, significant other, friend, neighbor or employee.” Oakley goes on to point out in the proclamation that, according to the Drug Free Alliance, 98.8 percent of teens have never done heroin, 58 percent have never used marijuana and 94 percent have never tried cocaine. Willman is hopeful drawing attention to Darke Couinty’s drug issue, which mostly affects the adult population, will help educate local residents. “Awareness is the biggest thing,” he said. “People need to know a little bit more about drugs in order to understand what you

can do to help people not do drugs.” Willman also discussed the cost of helping those who are abusing. “It costs a tremendous amount of money for people in trouble, people that need help,” he said. “It’s tough and it takes a lot of money out of everybody’s pockets in order to help them. The less people you have to worry about - people doing drugs – the better it is.” Willman believes the awareness walk is one positive example of drawing attention to those young people who are making good choices. “It’s good for the city and the community and county. It’ll help us be a better community,” he said, calling the awareness walk and the teen leaders planning the activity a “very positive” example for “kids around the city.” Those wishing to participate in the Majority Awareness Walk are invited to wear green or purple and meet at Annie Oakley Park for a march down Broadway to the City Building for a brief program. Hunt says she hopes the Majority Awareness Walk will “put a spark in other people’s heads (to think) ‘maybe I shouldn’t be doing this.’ Maybe it might change some opinions.”

Coffee with Commissioner Mike Stegall

ARCANUM – Commissioner Mike Stegall will be having another “Coffee with the Commissioner” on April 1 at Millers Tavern, 15 North High St., Arcanum. The public meeting will take place from 8-10 a.m. As always the public is invited to come in and ask the commissioner questions about the county, and let him know what concerns they have, or what they would like to see.

CASA seeks volunteers to protect children

Joshua and Lori Sharp will be running in the Boston Marathon. Lori is the granddaughter of Greenville residents.

Boston Marathon runners have local ties

BOSTON, Mass. – Married couple, Joshua and Lori (Hamilton) Sharp have qualified and will be running in this year’s Boston Marathon. Joshua, 35, is the son of Cyrus and Rose Sharp, Benton, Ky. and Lori Hamilton Sharp, 31, is the daughter of Randy and Marceena Hamilton, Alcoa, Tenn. She is the granddaughter of Betty Brodrick, the late Robert Brodrick and the late Lowell and Phyllis Hamilton, all of Greenville. Joshua and Lori currently live in Oxnard, Calif. and will make the trip for the April 17th Marathon to fulfill a dream come true, running together in Boston. The Boston Marathon course is 26 miles, 385 yards long, running through winding roads and city streets. The average finish time is just over four hours. Qualifying for Boston is done by very strict guidelines and a runner can be eliminated by only hundredths of a second in their age group. Only about 10 percent of American runners are fast enough to qualify.

Training for the Marathon takes many months and includes not only running but also training for strength, stamina and strict dietary planning called “nutrient timing.” Carbs and proteins are planned before long runs and workouts to get the most out of what those foods provide. Joshua began running in 2011 in the L.A. Marathon and Lori began with the Walt Disney Marathon in Florida, 2013. This will be the third time for Joshua to run in Boston and the first for Lori. During the last five years, they have run many marathons in several different states and have received many medals for their achievements. Joshua and Lori met in college at Murray State University, Murray, Ky., where Joshua received his degree in Graphics Communications Management and also a degree in Nursing. Lori received her degree in Music Education, is currently seeking her Master’s Degree and is also a Certified Crossfit trainer.

GREENVILLE – The Darke County CASA Program is looking for volunteers. A CASA volunteer is a trained community member (man and woman) who is appointed by the Juvenile Court Judge to investigate and determine the needs of abused and neglected children petitioned into the Darke County court system by the Children’s Services Unit. CASA is an acronym for Court Appointed Special Advocate. A CASA volunteers makes independent recommendations to the court about services and issues, which focus on the needs of each child. The CASA acts as the child’s voice in court and helps see they are safe

and well cared for. When the volunteer is appointed to the child’s case, he/she is responsible for taking the time to find out as much as possible about that child. They search for information, review records, interview parents, talk to teachers, neighbors and most importantly, the child. They also attend court and write reports to the judge stating what they feel is the best interest of the child. CASA volunteers come from all walks of life. They have a variety of professional, educational and ethnic backgrounds. No special experience is needed. Once volunteers have been screened and accept-

Hanes wins state; Gates joins her at competition BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Haylee Hanes and Noah Gates will represent Greenville High School at the Business Professionals of America (BPA) national competition in Orlando in less than two months. Hanes won state in the Presentation Management Individual category on Friday in Columbus. “No matter what hours of work I put into this – and no matter if I won or not – all I know is that following your passion makes it a much easier journey,” Hanes told The Early Bird. “I may be 18, but I already know my passion is within business…and I am thankful and blessed to have all the support of our community behind me!” Hanes plans to attend Boston University in the fall – majoring in Marketing with hopes of obtaining any MBA in the future. She has been part of the NHS, NTHS, Supply Chain Management and Cheerleading while at GHS. Noah Gates placed 2nd Sunday with his presentation of Extemporaneous Speech. Eight total students competed at the competition for Greenville. Haley Dillman finished in the Top 10 for Greenville in the Advanced Accounting category. “Preparing for the competition begins as early as November,” said advisor Dara Buchy. “This experience builds self-confidence, refines leadership and professionalism as many students attempt events that pushes them outside their personal comfort zone.” “The students represented Greenville in an exceptional manner, learning hard work pays…harder work pays more,” Buchy added. “We really have outstanding students right here in the Greenville Career Technical Center!”

ed, they are trained. They learn about courtroom procedure, social services, juvenile court system and the special needs of children who have been abused or neglected. It takes only about 10 hours a month to be a CASA volunteer. With the growing drug problem in the county, there are more children and new born babies coming into the system due to the drug habits of their parents. It sometimes requires making tough decisions, but it can be very gratifying. Those interested should contact Kay Robbins at

the Darke County Juvenile Court, (937) 547-9091 or krobbins@darkeprobatejuvenile.org. For more information on CASA go to www. casaforchildren.org.

Edison enrollment rising PIQUA – For the past five semesters, Edison State Community College has met or exceeded its increased enrollment goals. Enrollment this spring has been no exception as Edison State has experienced a 10 percent increase in overall headcount. “The sustained enrollment increase at Edison State really speaks to our commitment to quality in all areas from our safe and well-maintained facilities, to our expert faculty and

through to our effective support services,” said Edison State President Dr. Doreen Larson. The college’s increase in enrollment has been driven by two major factors: College Credit Plus (CCP) enrollment and an increase in enrollment at the Darke County Campus. Since the State of Ohio launched CCP in 2014, Edison State has experienced a consistent increase in enrollment. This spring, CCP students accounted for 32% of the College’s overall enrollment. CCP affords students the opportunity to earn college and high school credit concurrently, accelerating their college careers at little to no cost to them. “More and more students are graduating with an associate degree before graduating from high school,” said Velina Bogart, coordinator of College Credit Plus. “This is a goal that many stuKurt Troutwine

dents are setting as taking advantage of this program can knock off two years of a bachelor’s degree.” Similarly, the Darke County Campus has experienced dramatic growth. Compared to this time last year, the Campus has seen a 21 percent increase in headcount and a 32 percent increase in credit hours. These numbers are attributed to an increase in adult and online learners. Additionally, the number of CCP students taking classes at the Darke Co. Campus has more than doubled since last spring. “We recognize what our community needs and strive to provide programming and services to better the lives of those we serve,” said Chad Beanblossom, Dean of Darke County Campus. Also contributing to the growth are expanded program offerings including an Associate of Applied Science in Agriculture and a certificate in Equipment Maintenance Technology. Edison State intends to maintain growth through strategic priorities that focus on non-traditional students for new enrollments, converting CCP students to degree completers once they graduate from high school, and increasing retention through the adoption of the guided path.

DCCA presents Ainslie at Union City Arts Depot UNION CITY, Ind. – Masterful musician and storyteller Scott Ainslie will sing, play and tell tales at Union City’s Arts Depot on April 20, as part of Darke County Center for the Arts Coffeehouse Series. “Scott brings the sounds and history of America alive with his music,” said DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins. “He’ll play a variety of instruments and sing traditional songs based in roots music and the blues, as well as share carefully chosen anecdotes; you’ll leave his show feeling better than when you arrived,” Rawlins promised. The concert begins at 7 p.m. DCCA’s Coffeehouse concerts offer high-quality artists performing in an intimate social atmosphere

where food and drink are also available. DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan says that Scott Ainslie is the sort of performer for whom the coffee house concept was intended. “Scott is an innate musician who found his calling and never looked back,” she stated. “He directs his performance to his audience, maintaining a visceral connection with each listener as he pulls material from his vast repertoire with ease to state his musical case while satisfyingly fulfilling expectations; if you enjoy meaningful music that is also highly entertaining, this is a nottoo-be-missed show,” Ms. Jordan concluded. DCCA’s Coffeehouse Series is sponsored by The Andersons, Inc., EB Real Estate, Julie and Tom Graber, Eileen and Steve Litchfield, and Rodney Oda. The Ohio Arts Council helps fund this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. DCCA also receives operating support from the Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial as well as funding from the Ketrow Foundation and Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund. DCCA membership contributions also help support this

Local DAR chapter hosts 5th annual NJROTC drill GREENVILLE - The local Daughters of American Revolution (DAR) Fort GreenVille Chapter in conjunction with the Greenville High School National Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (NJROTC) hosted the fifth annual drill demonstration on Saturday afternoon at the GHS gymnasium. The drill units that performed were the Color Guard - led by Cadet Chief Petty Officer Jacob Brodick, Unarmed Basic - led by Cadet Petty Officer 1st Class Dalton Ratcliff, and Armed Basic - led by Cadet Lieutenant Junior Grade Tani Mancillas. As part of the annual ceremony, the Greenville High School NJROTC promoted their officers at the conclusion of the demonstrations. Naval Science Instructor Chief Stephen Eldred promoted Cadet Chief Petty Officer Kelly Louk to Cadet Ensign; Cadet Lieutenant Junior Grade Tani Mancillas was promoted to Cadet Lieutenant and appointed to

be the Unit Executive Officer; Cadet Lieutenant Kelsey Gilbert was promoted to Cadet Lieutenant Commander and appointed to be the new Unit Commanding Officer. The Fort GreeneVille chapter also awarded Cadet Chief Petty Officer Kelly Louk with the JROTC Bronze Medal. The medal is awarded to a cadet that demonstrates loyalty and patriotism, earned a record of military and scholastic achievement and be in the upper 25 percent of the NJROTC class. They must show qualities of dependability and good character, adherence to military discipline, leadership ability and a fundamental and patriotic understanding of the importance of the ROTC training. Following Saturday’s drill demonstration, the DAR chapter donated $50 to the NJROTC program. Learn more about the Greenville NJROTC program visit www.greenvillenjrotc.com.

GREENVILLE – What do men do when they’ve lost their wife or a loved one? For some men it means learning new skills. The person they relied on to wash their clothes or fix their meals is now gone. Not only are they now dealing with grief from losing someone that has been by their side, day-in and day-out for many years, they must re-learn how to live. Oliver-Floyd Funeral Home, Braund-Pope Funeral Home, State of the Heart Care and KitchenAid Experience understand the impact losing a loved one can have and will team up to offer Brunch with Bob. Eric Fee, owner of OliverFloyd and Braund-Pope Funeral Homes, said the name of the program is a tribute to Bob Marchal, a long-time fixture at KitchenAid Experience who taught many people how to cook or to prepare his recipes. Marchal passed away on Jan. 30. Brunch with Bob will continue to use his recipes. Fee explained 10-15 years ago he was the chaplain at State of Heart and they were searching for a way to get men more involved in grief support sessions. In their normal sessions they

would only see one or two men. They came up with the idea to offer a cooking class called Brunch with Bob and started seeing 1215 men attend. Fee pointed out the men were able to learn to cook, eat and talk about their grief with others experiencing the same loss. Many of the men that were part of those groups are still close and meet regularly. Bob Marchal and Gloria Keller-Brinley of KitchenAid Experience were there from the very beginning to offer their services. Gloria has agreed to teach the classes and Fee will serve as the sous-chef. “The cooking class will teach men how to cook for

day mornings, 9-10:30 a.m. Because space is limited, RSVPs are required by April 1. To RSVP, call Oliver-Floyd Funeral Home at (938) 548-1133 or BraundPope Funeral Home at (937) 996-1051. Fee pointed out the classes are focused on men that have experienced loss – wife, children, friends, etc. – and you don’t have to be associated with either funeral home or State of the Heart Care to participate. While this program focuses on men, Fee is already working with other organizations to hold programs that will focus on the needs of women experiencing grief.

Darke DD client keeps Village Green in tip top shape SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY –Darke County Developmental Disabilities is once again living up to “Always There,” the 50th anniversary campaign theme for Ohio’s Boards of DD. “They’ve been a godsend,” said Erika Smith, 33. “If I hadn’t come to Wayne Industries (now Person Centered Services) when I did, I don’t know where I’d be.” Smith, a 2003 graduate of Arcanum-Butler, said she worked many jobs following high school graduation. In July of this year, she will celebrate her third anniversary working in housekeeping for Village Green Health Campus in Greenville. Diagnosed as a baby with Septo-optic Dysplasia, Smith has always been limited with her eyesight. Using a magnifying glass during her school years helped some, she said, but due to what Smith describes as her eye “shaking” and moving around a lot, it was still “hard to focus.” Around age 18, Smith was finally eligible for surgery to fix the shaking, but her eyesight was still affected. Thanks to research and a grant written by Darke DD, Smith was found eligible to receive a handheld digital magnifier, called a Pebble. “I had to write a letter about why I needed it and how it would help me,” Smith explained. Today, Smith uses the

magnifier with help reading, especially, she said, small print on recipes and cooking instructions, like cake mixes. “It’s basically a lifeline for me,” she said. Even though the Pebble can help with reading and following instructions, Smith still needs assistance with things like transportation to and from work. Thanks to Darke DD, transportation is “Always There,” for Smith, thanks to a driver program offered for those who are in need of such services. Smith said Darke DD also has been of assistance by offering tips for filling out forms like job applications, how to conduct a job search and how to dress for an interview. “We had a mock interview,” she said, prior to getting her job at Village Green. According to Tamela Marley, an employment adviser with the Darke DD, Smith was initially hired part time at Village Green. “Because of her

(Smith’s) dedication and quality of work, they offered her a full time posi-

tion,” Marley explained. “She’s very capable and responsible.” Smith has a variety of duties at Village Green. “I like it,” she said of her 40-hour per week job. “I clean residents’ rooms, clean the lobby and sub in the laundry. I make sure the place looks clean.” When she’s not at work keeping Village Green spic and span, Smith said she enjoys swimming, playing with her dog and spending time with her family. She’s also planning an August wedding with her fiancé, Michael.

Arcanum Elementary has a dedicated staff and amazing students and families that I am excited to work with in a leadership role. I am looking forward to the many great things the future holds for Arcanum Elementary.” Mrs. Pechie has been an outstanding educator in the Arcanum-Butler Local School District for 10 years, teaching Physical Education at Butler Middle School and Arcanum

themselves; in smaller portions. If you do bigger soups and chili they show you how to store it and reheat it,” said Fee. Having worked as a chaplain for Hospice and now owning two funeral homes, Fee is well aware of the grief men face and explained why he is reviving Brunch with Bob, “There is still that void. There is still that need. A lot of guys, and I would be that way, if something were to happen to my wife I’d be to myself. A lot of guys don’t seek out help. This is a way to be together with people that have similar losses.” The classes will be held each week from April 3 through May 8 on Mon-

Shown are members of the Greenville High School NJROTC.

GREENVILLE – NJROTC stands for Naval Junior Reserve OfďŹ cer Training Corps and is comprised of 77 high school students at GHS. The NJROTC program in Greenville High School is not what most people think. It is not trying to recruit students to join the military, but instead is a program to teach students respect and responsibility. NJROTC is a group that acts like a family. When a fellow cadet has trouble with a subject in school, the other cadets will help explain the subject. The higher ranking cadets also help when another member is going through a personal struggle. Naval Science Instructor Chief Petty OďŹƒcer Stephen Eldred says, “We have kids from every facet of the school. We have several cadets that are involved in sports, band, Wavaires, the academic team, or maybe they are not involved in anything. They all come together as one big family and look out for each other.â€?

Alex Westerh, senior at GHS and ďŹ rst-year member of NJROTC, says that the members of the program stick together. “Chief and Lieutenant are like father ďŹ gures to us. They discipline us when we need to be disciplined and encourage us like we are their own children when we make them proud.â€? Some opportunities for cadets in NJROTC are drill team, color guard, orienteering, and the Civilian Marksmanship Program. Members participate in competitions for certain parts of the program. Every Thursday, all members are expected to be in their dress khaki uniforms for inspection. As a member of NJROTC myself, I know I am having the best time with this group. A lot is expected out of us, but I know it is helping me become a better person and citizen. I hope to see some new members next school year. It is a decision you will not regret!

Greenville BPW hosts Olympic athlete April 6 meeting GREENVILLE – The Greenville Business & Professional Women’s Club (BPW) Membership committee will host their monthly dinner meeting on April 6 at the Brick Room at the Brethren’s Retirement Community. Committee Chair Debbie Smith will introduce professional track and field athlete Chantae McMillan. Competing in the heptathlon for the past 10 years, her greatest accomplishment thus far is being part of the 2012 US Olympic team. Her personal best in the heptathlon is 6326 points. Over the next four years she will focus solely on making the 2020 Olympic team in the javelin. As a certified personal trainer, she will also focus

on becoming a certified nutritionist to help others live a better lifestyle. Chantae grew up with both parents in the Army, moving from Tennessee and Texas, to Rolla, Mo. She then received a track and field scholarship to the University of Nebraska, where she received a degree in Education, with a focus on art. Training for the Olympics brought Chantae to Dayton, where her coach is from. In her free time she enjoys being with her two dogs, a great dane named Moose and an American bulldog named Benny. She also finds creative outlets by painting and creating DIY projects. The Greenville BPW Club’s mission is to achieve equity for all women in the

Chantae McMillan

workplace through advocacy, education, and information. The meeting is open to anyone who would like to learn more about the club. The cost of the meal is $12 with dinner to start at 6:30 p.m. For reservations, contact Marilyn Emmons by noon on April 3 at (937) 548-5824 or demmons@embarqmail. com.

DCP host Skunks: They Make Scents

GREENVILLE – As if they weren’t easily identified by their distinct black and white coloration, skunks also have an unmistakable odor. On March 30, 6:30 p.m., join a Darke County Parks naturalist to learn more about these odiferous mammals. Odor is putting it kindly; skunks really stink. Of all chemical defenses that wildlife employ, the smell of skunk is most offensive. Participants will discover why these mammals smell so bad and why they are an important part of the ecosystem. For more information about this or any other Darke County Parks program or to register, call the Nature Center at (937) 548-0165.

Pictured is Christy Prakel, left, executive director of the Darke County Foundation, receiving a check from Joy Greer, SNB vice president and retail banking administrator.

SNB supports Darke County Foundation

GREENVILLE – The Darke County Foundation thanks Second National Bank for its generous support of the Foundation’s initiatives. SNB’s donation will help provide scholarships to Darke County students and grants to non-profit organizations that provide programs and services to Darke County

residents. The Darke County Foundation is a community foundation dedicated to improving the lives of Darke County residents by receiving, managing and distributing charitable gifts. For more information, visit www.darkecountyfoundation.org or call (937) 548-4673.

MEMORIES OF THE PAST KAY BROWN’S postcard collection of local towns and subjects was one of the best around Darke County. She was keenly interested in history and in Darke County; this search was a life-long passion. She helped her husband, Pete Brown, run the Central Drug Store from

1946-1967. They helped the Garst Museum ever since then. Pete died in 1995 and was 25 years the President of the Museum. She retired from the museum board four years ago and passed away in 2014 at age 98. She never wanted to live anywhere other than in Greenville. She most enjoyed the GPAT Channel 5 TV broadcasts with former council-person Kathleen Floyd, where they

discussed these same postcards covering 100 years of Greenville/local history. DICK BROWN, son, is also a life-long resident of Greenville and now keeps their postcard collection. Dick graduated from GHS in 1964, Miami University in 1968, taught school for a year, owned McVay’s Sporting Goods for 16 years and was a real estate appraiser for

11 years. He has been vice president of the Darke County Historical Society for the past 20 years. Dick is still involved with the GHS yearbook and has been president of the GHS Alumni Association for the past eight years.

Bradford continues to celebrate its heritage as a railroad town. Shown is the Old Ogden Hotel and Pan Handle Depot in Bradford. The photograph is dated c.1910.

Some people may remember this version of Greenville City Hall. It was located where the traffic circle and fountain can now be found. In the background you will see the current Greenville Municipal Building. At the time of this postcard in 1920 the building was the James Hotel.

Shown is the former Knights of Pythias lodge in New Madison. The K of P organization was the first fraternal organization to receive a charter under an act of the United States Congress. This postcard is dated 1906.

Shown is the Franklin Township School. The school was burnt in 1925 and a new school that would eventually become the Franklin Monroe Elementary was built in 1926. The building was demolished in 2011.

We would like to express our thanks for your past support of the Cross Memorial Golf Outing. However, after much thought and discussion, it is felt that the 10th anniversary Bryan Cross Memorial Golf Outing held in 2016 will be the last organized outing. After the unexpected death by suicide of our son, Bryan, a few of his friends came together to play golf and share memories the summer of 2006. In 2007, as more people heard about the get together, people from many areas of the U.S. joined the outing which grew in participants each year. With Jake Cook’s organization, the Golf Outing grew and exceeded our expectations for participation, donations and sponsorship. We thank you for your past support through the years. With your involvement, we have been able to donate to several charities: Greenville Boys & Girls Club, American Federation of Suicide Prevention, Out of Darkness, Corynna Straswer Fund, Kevin Force Memorial and many more. We thank you for your generosity. There are several people we wish to recognize and

pay tribute to who made this outing a success: -Jake and Carrie Cook who dedicated a tremendous amount of time and effort to make this outing one of the best in the area. -Stillwater Golf Course for hosting the outing at its beautiful course and dining area accommodations. -Tom Cross builder of the Golf Outing Logo Corn Hole game boards. -Tarzy, the best grill master who kept everyone fed all day. -Both business and individual hole sponsors and those who donated prizes. And a warm thank you to the golfers who traveled from so far away to play whether in wind, cold, rain, or sunshine. And also to the family and friends that did not golf, but wanted to joined in to celebrate the life of Bryan Lee Cross. We do ask for your continued support, as we continue to lose loved ones to suicide. Please take time to talk with your loved ones regarding the effect such deaths have on families, friends, communities. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Merry Lee and Dan Cross

Grant provides youth substance abuse education, prevention DARKE COUNTY – Greenville Elementary plans to host Informational Speaker Cris Johnson on May 15 during two assemblies for grades K-2 and 3-4. The estimated number of students expected to attend the assemblies will be slightly more than 1,000. Johnson is a dynamic entertainer who uses magic and a high level of energy to create a drug-free message. His assembly was chosen because it is prevention education designed for younger students, gives the students strategies to deal with being approached by someone with drugs, and teaches them why they shouldn’t try drugs even once. Greenville Police Department School Resource Officer Ryan Borowske also has a role in the program. In addition to the program, the grant will provide funds for each student to receive drug-free wrist bands to help them remember the message. The assemblies are made possible through a grant for substance abuse education and prevention from the Coalition for a Healthy Darke County (Coalition). The Coalition recently applied for and received grants from the Darke County United Way and the Greenville Rotary Club. Those funds were added to Coalition dollars to offer Substance Abuse Education and Prevention grants. “The collaboration among the Coalition, United Way

and Rotary demonstrates the purpose of the Coalition, which is to understand and promote community decision making, collaboration and ownership among many different organizations to work together to resolve specific community challenges such as health and substance abuse,” said Coalition President Sharon Deschambeau. Greenville Elementary School Counselor Katy Copas and Principal Jody Harter applied for the Coalition grant because they recognized the need for drug prevention education at an early age. Katy Copas shared, “We are so thankful to the Coalition for awarding us this grant. This grant will allow us to bring in an engaging speaker, who not only educates students about the dangers of drugs, but also gives them strategies to deal with being offered drugs or unknown substances. Presenting this material at the elementary level will help to set students on the right path in making healthy choices in their lives.” “The Coalition intends to continue to share information and financial resources through grants with local schools in 2017-2018 to incorporate drug education,” said Deschambeau. “We hope to change the culture in Darke County in a positive way.” In February 2017, Attorney General Mike DeWine’s office released the recom-

mendations of the Ohio Joint Study Committee on Drug Use Prevention Report. In his letter to fellow Ohioans, DeWine wrote, “At least eight people are dying each day in Ohio from accidental drug overdoses. The opioid epidemic has spread to every county, city and village in Ohio. Without question, it is the worst drug epidemic I’ve witnessed in my lifetime.” “Drugs have proven to be a problem amongst many of our students’ families, stated Greenville Principal Jody Harter. We have had too many students lose their parents to drug overdoses.” Harter continued, “We are blessed to live in a community willing to help and provide resources so that we can educate and inform our students about drugs. I want to thank the Coalition for allowing us this opportunity to reach our K-4th grade students.” For more information or to join the Coalition visit www.CoalitionDarkeCounty.com.
