UNION CITY — For many fine art enthusiasts, going to an gallery can be a very serene experience, with meticulous sculptures kept under glass and framed masterworks kept at a distance with velvet ropes. However, a different kind of art gallery exists on the edge of Darke County, where special artists gather and share their remarkable talents to create an atmosphere of affirmation and acceptance. Art Sense, an Adult Day Service Program offered through UCM Residential Services (previously known as Christel Manor), is an intermediate care facility licensed by the Ohio Department of Development Disabilities, for individuals with intellectual disabilities in Union City. Located at 388 State Route 571 in Union City, Art Sense is an 18,000 square foot facility on 11 acres, dedicated to providing social opportunities, community integration, as well as vocational habilitation for clients interested in developing work experience and necessary skills for success.

Procalimation signed by Willman, county commissioners GREENVILLE — Greenville Mayor Steve Willman and the Darke County Board of Commissioners recently declared March 29 as “Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day.” March 29, 1973, marked the end of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam conflict after more than a decade of combat. The proclamation was signed in coordination with the Fort GreeneVille Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). The proclamation was signed to honor the men and women who served in the armed forces during the Vietnam War. Throughout the conflict, more than three million Americans served, and 58,000 laid down their lives in service to our nation. From Ohio alone, approximately 330 did not return home, and of those 330, approximately 15 were Darke County natives. Both Willman and the commissioners recognize the need to pay homage to the sacrifices that were made during the Vietnam War, and signed the proclamation in the hopes that other Darke County residents will take time on Monday to recognize the many sacrifices made during the war. “We’re honored to recognize Vietnam veterans in Darke County through a proclamation,” said County Commissioner Mike Stegall on behalf of the board. “As time moves on, the Vietnam generation seems to be getting lost to history, but their sacrifice was just as honorable and noble as generations before and after them. We are very proud to recognize veterans in Greenville and the county for their exemplary service to our country.” The proclamation states that the commissioners and Mayor Willman, “urge all people in our county to participate in the events of this day as one means of honoring those men and women who served their country faithfully and courageously during the Vietnam conflict.”

Rossburg-Lightsville Road. The bid from Walls Bros. Asphalt for all seven roads is a total of $1,238,105.34. The board approved a motion to accept the bid for review by the county engineer. Upon review, Surber will return to the commissioners to request approval to begin the project. The township roadways are as follows: In Liberty Township, Ross Road.

Staff report

GREENVILLE – Main Street Greenville is pleased to announce downtown Greenville’s Scavenger and Easter Egg Hunt First Friday on Friday, April 2. Although the Scavenger Hunt is not new to the First Friday line-up, the Easter Egg Hunt will be new for 2021. The Scavenger Hunt will be held throughout the day and will end at 9 p.m. Gift cards from our downtown merchants will be hidden and a different business or businesses will be featured each hour beginning at 1 p.m. Follow Main Street Greenville on Facebook and you will get a clue as to where the gift card is hidden. We ask that the person finding the gift card take a selfie and tag Main Street Greenville in your post so others will know that the gift card has been found. A different clue and a different card will be available each hour. Some of the cards may be hidden inside downtown businesses while others may be hidden in front of those businesses. It is up to you to unlock the clue and find the card. The Easter Egg Hunt will begin at 6 p.m. and continue until 9 p.m. This is not your traditional Easter Egg Hunt where a child would go and collect the eggs. With this being in the downtown area we want our children to be safe. We will have approximately 40 eggs hidden throughout downtown and in YOLO and Rotary Parks. The eggs will be easy to find. Instead of taking the egg with the child, we ask that you open the egg and grab the piece of paper that is in the egg.

the widespread uptick in unemployment fraud is not a result of the unemployment system being penetrated, but rather from fraudulent individuals obtaining information on the dark web. Madson highlighted the need for Ohioans to continue being aware of where they send personal information, and who is requesting the information. Darke County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Mark Whittaker spoke briefly and encouraged individuals to report instances of fraud to local law enforcement. Whittaker said the Sheriff’s Office is not likely to be able to solve these crimes, but reporting them provides necessary documentation from a independent organization in event than an individual’s credit score is lowered. Whittaker recommended Darke County residents contact the law enforcement in the area where they permanently reside. Barone and Madson thanked Whittaker and other local law enforcement agencies for their continued partnership in combating these issues. If you or someone you know believe to be a victim of fraud, visit jfs.ohio. gov/fraud/ and contact your local law enforcement agency immediately.

Arcanum Lady Trojans bounce St. Henry DarkeCountyMedia.com

ARCANUM – The Arcanum Lady Trojans looked impressive in an 11-2 scrimmage win over the MAC’s St. Henry Lady Redskins varsity softball team. “I was pretty pleased with our effort tonight,” said Arcanum coach, Mike Morris. “We ran the bases really aggressive – we scored a lot of runs we probably shouldn’t have but we were just being aggressive and put the pressure on them.” “We got our bunts down,” Morris continued. “They are finally getting on to my kind of ball – small ball. Scoring 11 runs with small ball doesn’t look like you’re playing small ball but we did.” Ellie Fout took the mound to open play for the Lady Trojans followed by Peyton Garbig and Tessa Riegle. “With our pitching we have a good one, two, three punch there right now going on,” Morris noted. “Ellie Fout has been starting for us and gets a lot of ground balls and then Peyton Garbig comes in. She can throw gas so I am really pleased.” The Lady Trojans took the field Monday night following the team’s Saturday scrimmages with DIV powerhouse Mechanicsburg

and DI Centerville. “We came out and took care of business tonight following our Saturday scrimmages,” said Morris. The entire Arcanum squad had a good day at the plate and on the base paths while making the infield plays look like mid-season form. “My middle infielders we have a freshman, Emilie Fout at shortstop and sophomore Molly Erickson at second,” said Morris. “Emilie got the ball over there at second base from her shortstop position tonight – I’ve never seen that before.” “We have a lot of speed right up the middle,” added

Coach Morris. “We had a scrimmage the other night and they both dove for a ball and landed on top of each other up the middle, so they are very aggressive.” Rounding out the infield for the Lady Trojans has senior Hannah Smith at first and Peyton Grabig handling the third base duties. “When Payton is on the mound I have another sophomore at third,” Morris said. “We’re young in spots but they know how to play ball.” Coach Morris turned his attention to the team’s outfield players.

“We’re the same way out there - very solid out there with speed,” he said. “We have Eva Siculan a senior in center, Meghan McCans a junior in left and I have been flipping our two sophomores in right.” Coach Morris is impressed with the speed the Lady Trojans also bring to the base paths for the 2021 season. “Speed kills and finally we got it,” stated Morris. “I have never had that much speed on my team before.” Coach Morris expects the Lady Trojans to compete well in the final season of the Cross County Conference.

“I think we should be in the top two or three,” Morris said. “Obviously Bradford is probably going to be the “big dog” – I think we will hang with them. National Trail is going to be decent, Covington is going to be good – I just hope we are up there top three.” Coach Morris returned to his alma mater to coach the Lady Trojans for the 2020 season following a successful stint coaching the Franklin Monroe Lady Jets softball team. With the entire 2020 season cancelled due to COVID, Morris gets his first onfield opportunity this year at Arcanum. Morris takes over a program that has seen its share of success, but he too has had his share of success. Morris served as Franklin Monroe head coach since 2013, accumulating over 100 victories including finishing as District Runner-Up on several occasions and District

Prior to the FM softball coaching position, Coach Morris began his coaching career as an assistant for veteran Arcanum baseball coach Randy Baker before taking the head Franklin Monroe varsity baseball coaching job where we won a CCC Championship and District Championship. “It was a tough leaving FM especially the class I left,” said Morris. “It worked out because of COVID. That senior class didn’t get to play but it was tough leaving there – the time was right.” “You can’t beat this Arcanum crowd,” Coach Morris concluded. “The support we have here is unbelievable and at a scrimmage we are full in the stands – the support here at Arcanum is amazing.”

We really don’t know. You can tell some things in practice but until you get live situations, see what guys can do and how they handle pressure – that is what we saw tonight. Some guys handled it and some guys didn’t so we are going to work on it and get back in practice.” “We have a good group of kids,” continued Baker.

“They fight, they don’t give up, they are very coachable and they listen, so I am proud to coach this team.” Coach Baker expects the final season of CCC play to be wide open. “You have no clue,” Baker said of how the CCC will stack up. “We will try to look as some scrimmage scores and go by that but that really doesn’t mean anything - it’s wide open. I really do think it is wide open and you have to play them one game at a time. If you’re looking ahead you’re going to get upset this year definitely. It’s a weird year that’s for sure to start with so you just don’t know.”

“I just love being outside and being around the guys. We have a really good group of guys so it’s a fun year to coach.” “Trojan pride. That’s the big thing we say around here – Trojan Pride,” Coach Baker concluded. “Its pride in our facilities, its pride in how we play,

Allie Downing, Belmont Abbey reach ‘Elite 8’ in NCAA Women’s DII Tournament By Dale Barger

DarkeCountyMedia.com

COLUMBUS – The Tri-Village boys and girls basketball teams may have finished playing this year after outstanding seasons and long tournament runs … but there is still a Tri-Village connection playing in what we’ve all come to know and love as“March Madness”. Allie Downing who is the daughter of Scott and Rachelle was a 2017 Lady Patriot alumni and is playing for Belmont Abbey located in Belmont, North Carolina. Her team is having an Downing outstanding year and has advanced to the NCAA DII Women’s Basketball “Elite 8” by winning the Southeast Regional and will play in Columbus, Ohio on Tuesday March 23rd at 8:45pm. Allie had a great career at Tri-Village scoring over a 1,000 points and during her senior year helped the Patriots to a 24-2 record while winning a CCC, Sectional and District championship while advancing to the Sweet 16. Downing is now a senior on the Crusaders squad and has had an outstanding collegiate careeras well, scoring over a 1,000 points. She, along with a couple other high profile seniors, have led the team to their first ever “Elite 8” appearance. Belmont Abbey is the 4th seed and will play 5th seed Central Missouri. The Abbey is currently on a 20 game win streak and stand 24-2, 15-1 in the conference – winning a league title for only the second time in school history. It also is only the second time the team has qualified for the NCAA tournament as well – qualifying last year,only to see it cancelled due to Covid. “We were on the floor getting ready to play and got the news the tournament was cancelled, it was devastating, especially for our two seniors on the team because they were instrumental in our growth and development as a program,” Allie Downing stated. After starting the season with two early losses the team never doubted themselves using the two seniors who never got a chance to play in the NCAA as motivation to get back. They achieved that goal by beating Barton in the conference championship game on a buzzer beater shot by Allie Downing that sent the game to overtime where the Crusaders would win it for the second year in a row. “Making that shot was a great feeling especially after the coach drew up the play for me to take the shot,” Downing said. “It was a surreal moment that really didn’t sink in till later,” she added. Abbey has 7 seniors on the team and is led by the trio of Maria Kuhlman 13.3 ppg, 5 rpg, Brittany Autry 12.8 ppg, 6 rpg and Allie Downing 12.5 ppg and 6 rpg. Just like the rest of her teammates Allie feels very fortunate not only to have a season … but thankful they made it back into the NCAA and advancing in the tournamentall the while knowing Covid could have shut

them down again. She expressed her disappointment that only a few people would be able to see her play in person because of Covid but wanted to thank the many supporters she’s had over the years. “My family has been super supportive over the years making it to as many games as they could despite having two sisters still playing back home. Even with Covid they’ve been here when they allowed fans to come … and that means a lot since they are 8 hours away. “I want to thank the community who followed me and sent me text messages or contacted me on social media after games. They’ll tell me they watched us online in games I didn’t even know about and it just means so much to me,” Downing added. Downing pointed out much of her success is a direct result of hard work, structure and discipline that she got at Tri-Village that prepared her to be a leader and helped her to contribute immediately as freshman. That is something Tri-Village coach Brad Gray echoed about his former player. “It is so exciting to see one of our own being able to compete at such a high level on the national stage. Allie has always put a tremendous amount of effort and desire into the game of basketball and because of that is experiencing something so few get the chance to do,” coach Gray said. “She’s had an exceptional career and to cap it off by having the year that she is, is just awesome. Coach Williams and Belmont Abbey has been a great fit for her. I’m so happy for Allie and the Belmont Abbey team,” Gray added. Due to Covid-19 the NCAA has limited the number of fans who can attend the game. “We wish we could all be there to root her on in person, especially with it being so close to home, but I’m sure Patriot fans will all be following the upcoming games very closely,” Gray concluded. For those who want to watch Allie and the Belmont Abbey basketball team play it will be shown live at www.ncaa.com.

Better read this if you are 62 or older and still making mortgage payments. More than 1 million seniors have taken advantage of this “retirement secret.”

It’s a well-known fact that for many older Americans, the home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 45% of their total net worth. And with interest rates near all-time lows while home values are still high, this combination creates the perfect dynamic for getting the most out of your built-up equity. But, many aren’t taking advantage of this unprecedented period. According to new statistics from the mortgage industry, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 7.7 trillion dollars* of unused home equity. Not only are people living longer than ever before, but there is also greater uncertainty in the ecomony.

mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a HECM loan, which is not the case. In fact, one key advantage of a HECM is that the proceeds will first be used to pay off any existing liens on the property, which frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for seniors living on a fixed income. Unfortunately, many senior homeowners who might be better off with a HECM loan don’t even bother to get more information because of rumors they’ve heard. In fact, a recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one HECM lender, found that over 98% of their clients are satisfied with their loans. While these special loans are not for everyone, they can be

All things considered, it’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loan to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement. It’s a fact: no monthly mortgage payments are required with a government-insured HECM loan; however the borrowers are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of their home, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees. Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy retirement. Although today’s HECM loans have been improved to provide even greater financial protection for homeowners, there are still many misconceptions. For example, a lot of people

a real lifesaver for senior homeowners especially in times like these. The cash from a HECM loan can be used for almost any purpose. Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical bills or helping other family members. Some people simply need the extra cash for everyday expenses while others are now using it as a safety net for financial emergencies. If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to yourself to learn more so that you can make the best decision - for your financial future. It’s time to reverse your thinking

*Housing Wealth for Homeowners - 62+ Reaches $7.7 Trillion in Q1 2020: NRMLA/RiskSpan Reverse Mortgage Market Index (RMMI) Q1 2000 - Q1 2020 Reverse mortgage loan terms include occupying the home as your primary residence, maintaining the home, paying property taxes and homeowners insurance. Although these costs may be substantial, AAG does not establish an escrow account for these payments. However, a set-aside account can be set up for taxes and insurance, and in some cases may be required. Not all interest on a reverse mortgage is taxdeductible and to the extent that it is, such deduction is not available until the loan is partially or fully repaid.

AAG charges an origination fee, mortgage insurance premium (where required by HUD), closing costs and servicing fees, rolled into the balance of the loan. AAG charges interest on the balance, which grows over time. When the last borrower or eligible non-borrowing spouse dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, or fails to comply with the loan terms, the loan becomes due and payable (and the property may become subject to foreclosure). When this happens, some or all of the equity in the property no longer belongs to the borrowers, who may need to sell the home or otherwise repay the loan balance.

and language pathology therapy. “Art Sense opened in March, 2014, in response to statewide changes applicable to county operated day services. The Art Studio is just one area of program activities offered at UCM Day Services.” said Jessica Schiavone, Director of Day Services and Art Sense. “Art Sense is also the name of the Studio for which we pursued a vendor’s license to enable the Artists to sell their wares, should they choose to do so, We want to encourage and promote the opportunity for clients interested in art to have the option to pursue art as a vocation.” Schiavone, a native of Celina, originally began working at UCM Residential Services (Christel Manor) in 1993, and has seen Art Sense thrive in fulfilling its mission over the last seven years, crediting many individuals who have helped it become a vital part of the Darke County community. “Many people and programs have inspired Art Sense as we have invented ourselves… Allen County’s ‘Artability’ is an amazing program, and I have always been in awe of their creative talent. We examined their program closely before opening our day service because they are so well known in their community. Sue Huston, the Community Connections Co-Ordinator at the Darke County Board of DD has been remarkably instrumental in opening doors for our program, as well as the other programs in the county,” said Schiavone. “The clients create the vibe and are the driving inspiration and motivation to create unique and ever-changing opportunities! Art Sense’s mission has always been to bridge individual potential and possibilities with opportunity.” Among the many Art Sense exhibits created and displayed in the gallery over the past seven years, some have become “com-

munity favorites” among visitors and clients alike, including the Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, and Pirate’s Cove, with some character props travelling throughout the community promoting awareness and goodwill of Art Sense’s mission. Each of the Art Sense exhibits are the result of imagination, vision, discussion, collaboration, planning and teamwork – all vital skills needed to grow and thrive. “Individuals enrolled in the program created an in-house advocacy group and call themselves the ‘Karaoke Council.’ This group (any enrollee may participate) brainstorms and make the decisions on multiple topics including but not limited to themes, activities, funds and budgeting of the studio account, outings, entertainment or life enhancement program, guests, and changes to the spaces and programs in house,” explained Schiavone. “We have an awesome team that work together to create a plan. Structural design is usually determined by several months of persevering amongst the team — the ‘Karaoke Council,’ Tracy Brellenthin, the Studio coordinator, and me. I tend to lead the ‘dreamers,’ and Tracy leads the ‘doers.’ “Once we have a design plan, there are always technical issues that arise. Some exhibits are dependent upon what we call the Scavenger Hunt. The team prepares a list of items needed for props we are not building to supplement the art work. Then, clients venture out to garage sales, antique or second-hand stores, flea markets, sometimes junk yards to gather up a list of items needed to provide the details needed to bring our imaginations to life. We have several staff who are very creative about how to support those individuals determined on their quest for the perfect item,” she added. In previous years, community members could come daily to visit, view, and purchase items available throughout the building and in the gallery, with new themes and artistic

creations being promoted and updated on the Art Sense Facebook page. “Activity ebbs and flows based upon other activities happening,” said Schiavone. “At certain times of the year, we may be busy building a theme or props for other community events or activities, so there may not be a lot if individual art being created in the studio.” However, when the COVID pandemic struck, concerns set limitations on how many individuals can be present on-site. “COVID has challenged our program but more importantly impacted the lives of our clients in ways none of us ever imagined,” said Schiavone. “Certainly, lack of attendance has impacted our operations budget, but more importantly, the pandemic has separated the Art Sense family and prevented us from sharing time together, much like it has impacted many family members nationwide.” However, with the number of COVID cases decreasing, the Art Sense community looks forward to the promise of brighter days of ahead. “We have individuals who have many types of artistic talents and would love to showcase them and open the opportunity to other individuals in the community. It takes a lot of time, a variety of talented support folks, certainly money, and of course an adoring audience, “said Schiavone. “We plan to hold future Art Sensational Expo’s. We invite the community to participate as artists, food vendors, musical talent, shoppers or spectators. Our expo’s have huge potential for growth!” To learn more about Art Sense, or inquire about how to participate in the Art Sense program, contact UCM Residential Services at 937-968-6265, or contact Jessica Schiavone, Director of Day Services and Art Sense at j.schiavone@ ucmresidentialservices.com Carol Marsh covers community interest stories and handles obituaries for Darke County Media.

Sweet chocolate a hallmark of Easter celebrations

Few people would not enjoy finding carefully crafted chocolate confections in an Easter basket. As revered as hidden eggs are on Easter, chocolate and other candies nestled in a bed of green plastic grass often call out like a siren’s song. Many people have their preferences in regard to Easter sweets. Some can’t wait to sink their teeth into a milk chocolate bunny. Others savor marshmallow chicks or sweet jelly beans. Still, chocolate often reigns supreme, and people may wonder how chocolate Easter treats came to be. Eggs and rabbits have long been associated with fertility and new life, long before they became symbols of the Easter holiday. In German folklore, the Osterhase, now known as the Easter Bunny, was a mythical creature that magically laid eggs, which he then carried in a basket and delivered to children as gifts on Easter morning. These first eggs were decorated chicken and duck eggs. As the custom of giving eggs spread, egg-shaped toys started to be manufactured in the 17th and 18th centuries. Chocolate Easter eggs were not created until the 19th century. France and Germany pioneered the manufacturing of these eggs. The first eggs were solid until chocolate artists could master the art of molded, hollow eggs. One of the first chocolate eggs was made by John Cadbury in 1845. But it wasn’t until both the Dutch invention of a press for separating cocoa butter from the cocoa bean and the introduction of pure cocoa by Cadbury Brothers in 1866 that molded chocolate — and molded chocolate eggs — could be made easily. As the process for molded chocolate evolved, just about any shape could be possible.

Easter symbols and traditions help make the holiday familiar and special. Eggs, hot cross buns and frilly church dresses help paint the picture, and so does a delicate and beautiful white flower. The Easter lily plant is native to both Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands of Japan. The plant’s flowering season begins in April and ends in June. The plant produces pure white flowers on top of long stems. Easter lilies often adorn homes and church altars during this time of year. Tradition states that the Easter lily originated in the Garden of Eden from the teardrops of Eve that spread when she and Adam were cast out of the garden. These were believed to be tears of repentance. Historians and biblical scholars say that the lily has always been highly regarded in the Christian Church. Jesus even references the flower in Luke 12:27, stating “Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.” Legend has it that, after Jesus’ death and resurrection, lilies were found growing in the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus is said to have prayed before his crucifixion. They were believed to have sprung up from a drop of sweat from his brow when his head was bent in prayer. In Easter celebrations, the lily represents Christ’s Resurrection, and thusly new birth and new life. The delicate, white blooms can be viewed as pure, innocent and untainted by the world. The flower itself is used in various ways to tell the resurrection story. The bulb is buried in the ground as a representation of Christ’s tomb. The trumpet-shaped fragrant flowers also announce life after death, since bulbed flowers often regrow year after year, according to the religious resource All About Jesus. And the trumpet shape signifies the angel Gabriel’s trumpet call. It’s common for Easter lilies to decorate homes, churches, gardens, and more throughout the Easter season.

The meaning of Palm Sunday

Easter bunny and egg traditions came to America by way of German and Dutch settlers. In 1890, a Pennsylvania pharmacist became the self-proclaimed “father of the chocolate Easter bunny” when he displayed a five-foottall chocolate rabbit in his shop as an Easter promotion. After this, sales of chocolate Easter bunnies began to skyrocket. According to the confectionary company Piece, Love & Chocolate, 90 million chocolate Easter bunnies are produced every year around the world. Millions more chocolate Easter eggs also are made and sold. Seventysix percent of Americans claim to eat the ears on their chocolate rabbits first. Chocolate bunnies and other candies are part of many families’ Easter traditions. These beloved confections have a rich history.

Meanings behind the Easter lily

Easter Sunday is the most sacred day on the Christian calendar. A celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ after his crucifixion on Good Friday, Easter Sunday marks the culmination of the Lenten season, a 40-day period when Christians across the globe reflect on their faith and make sacrifices to honor the ultimate sacrifices made by their God. The final week of Lent is known as Holy Week, and the week begins with Palm Sunday, the final Sunday before Easter. According to Catholic Online, Palm Sunday commemorates the triumphant arrival of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem. Upon Christ’s arrival in Jerusalem, the townspeople who revered him showered him with praise, and some may even have thrown palm at his feet in front of him to pay homage. Palms remain a meaningful symbol for Christians. Upon arriving at church on Palm Sunday, Christians are given palms before proceeding to their seats. These palms are blessed at the beginning of Palm Sunday Mass, and many Christians ultimately fashion their palms into small crosses. Palms can be kept in a home for the year, though Christians who cannot do that can return them to their church. That’s important to note, as Catholic Online indicates that, because palms are blessed, they cannot simply be discarded as trash. In fact, palms are sometimes collected by churches and incinerated. The resulting ashes are then used to create the ashes that will be used on Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of Lent. If returning palms to church is not feasible, CatholicCulture.org notes that it is acceptable to bury the palms. Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week. And like many other days on the Christian calendar, Palm Sunday is steeped in meaningful tradition.

Council discusses power outages, waterlines, pool reopening By Carol Marsh

DarkeCountyMedia.com

VERSAILLES — Water and sewer drainage, Virginia Street waterlines, power outages, pool preparations, and Village employment issues were among the top agenda items for discussion at Wednesday’s Versailles Village Council meeting. Those in attendance were Mayor Jeff Subler, Village Administrator Mike Busse, Council Members Cory Griesdorn, Jeff Beasley, Lance Steinbrunner, Kent Paulus, Mike Berger, and Todd Dammeyer. Village Attorney Tom Guillozet was also in attendance. Council first took up old business with the third and final reading of Ordinance 21-13, for the adoption of interconnection standards for installation and parallel operation of customerowned renewable electric generation facilities (1000 kWac or less) and setting forth penalties for failure to comply, and was unanimously approved. Council took up new business with the consideration of Resolution No. 21-18, authorizing an application to Darke County for CDBG Community Development Critical Infrastructure Programs for $500K in funding for the Village of Versailles North Central Area Waterline Replacement Project, which would most likely extend into 2022-2023. Village Administrator Mike Busse noted in his report to council that, “These water lines are in

cause of the outage was a broken pole insulator on a 69kV transmission pole near SR 48 and SR 66, owned by AES (formerly DP&L). “We continue to have transmission power supply issues from AES, which – Mike Busse typically is related to the Village Administrator line between Versailles and Covington. It is not only Versailles that has experienced outages due to this line, but also Minster Tom’s Construction is working at the intersection (municipal), AES’s substations (Ft.

We plan to also apply for a OPWC grant…Any gaps in the funding will be filled with funds from the 1/2 percent fund….” Specifically, in regard to the work being done to replace the old waterlines on the west end of Virginia Street, Busse updated the council on the progress being made, noting that

requires four years of experience and training to work on high voltage lines; as a result, there are not enough qualified applicants. “Safety is everything,” said Busse, noting that when current Lineman I employees are promoted to Lineman II positions, then more Lineman I opportunities will open up. Additional progress is being made toward the reopening of the Versailles Municipal Pool. Busse stated that the pool cover has been removed, with the pump and liner scheduled for cleaning and repairs. The village is also applying for a Darke County grant to provide additional sun269964-1 shades for the pool. A tentative date has been set for the Versailles Alum-

ni Association’s Fair Fest, scheduled for Sat., Aug. 21, from 2 to 5 p.m. Because COVID regulations are still in place, the tables will be spread out, with portable restrooms on the north side, with food trucks, and a beer garden, with possible music in the square. The next scheduled Versailles Council Meeting will be Wednesday, April 14, 2021, 7 p.m., at the EMS Building Conference Room, 320 Baker Road, in Versailles.

Be Red Cross Ready Tornadoes are violent by nature. They are capable of completely destroying well-made structures, uprooting trees and hurling objects through the air like deadly missiles. A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm down to the ground. Tornado intensities are classified on the Fujita Scale with rating between F0 (weakest) to F5 (strongest). Although severe tornadoes are more common in the Plains States, tornadoes have been reported in every state.

Know the Difference

Tornado Watch Tornadoes are possible in and near the watch area. Review and discuss your emergency plans, and check supplies and your safe room. Be ready to act quickly if a warning is issued or you suspect a tornado is approaching. Acting early helps to save lives! Tornado Warning A tornado has been sighted or indicated by weather radar. Tornado warnings indicate imminent danger to life and property. Go immediately under ground to a basement, storm cellar or an interior room (closet, hallway or bathroom).

What should I do if a tornado is threatening?

• During any storm, listen to local news or a NOAA Weather Radio to stay informed about Tornado watches and warnings. • Know your community’s warning system. Communities have different ways of warning residents about tornadoes, with many having sirens intended for outdoor warning purposes. • Pick a safe room in your home where household members and pets may gather during a tornado. This should be a basement, storm cellar or an interior room on the lowest floor with no windows. • Practice periodic tornado drills so that everyone knows what to do if a tornado is approaching. • Consider having your safe room reinforced. Plans for reinforcing an interior room to provide better protection can be found on the FEMA website. • Prepare for high winds by removing diseased and damaged limbs from trees. • Move or secure lawn furniture, trash cans, hanging plants or anything else that can be picked up[ by the wind and become a projectile. Watch for tornado danger signs: Dark, often greenish clouds - a phenomenon caused by hail Wall cloud - an isolated lowering of the base of a thunderstorm Cloud of Debris • Large hail Funnel cloud - a visible rotating extension of the cloud base • Roaring Noise

• The safest place to be in an underground shelter, basement or a safe room.

Your choice should be driven by your specific circumstances.

Ask a professional to: Look at common connections in wood frame buildings and add anchors, clips and straps that will provide more strength to your home. Reinforce masonry walls that provide structural support to your home. Secure your chimney. Masonry chimneys that extend more than 6 feet above the roof or have a width of 40 inches or more should have continuous

• Continue listening to local news or NOAA Weather Radio for updated information and instructions. • If you are away from home, return only when authorities say its safe to do so. • Wear long pants, a long-sleeved shirt and sturdy shows when examining your walls, doors, staircases and windows for damage. • Watch out for fallen power lines or broken gas lines and report them to the utility company immediately. • Stay out of damaged buildings. • Use battery-powered flashlights when examining buildings - do NOT use candles. • If you smell gas or hear a blowing or hissing noise, open a window and get everyone out of the building quickly and call the gas company or the fire department. • Take pictures of damage, both of the building and its contents, for insurance claims. • Use the telephone only for emergency calls. • Keep all of your animals under your direct control. • Clean up spilled medications, bleaches, gasoline or other flammable liquids that could become a fire hazard. • Check for injuries. If you are trained, provide first aid to persons in need until emergency responders arrive.

Let your Family know you’re safe If your community has experienced a disaster, register on the American Red Cross Safe and Well website available through RedCross. org let your family and friends know about your welfare. If you don’t have internet access, call 1-866-GET-INFO to register yourself and your family.

vertical reinforcing steel placed in the corners to provide greater resistance to wind loads. Permanently connect your manufactured home to its foundation to decrease the potential for damage from high winds. The Red Cross encourages those in tornado-prone areas to use the Tornado Safety Checklist, which provide information on what you can do before, during and after a tornado strikes.

OH-70229122

Strengthen existing garage doors to improve the wind resistance, particularly double-wide garage doors. If your home has been significantly damaged and will require rebuilding parts or all of it, consult with your contractor about having a tornado safe room built during the process. A tornado safe room can save lives. Plans for reinforcing an interior room to provide better protection can be found on the FEMA website.

OH-70229121

As you rebuild:

• If no underground shelter or safe room is available, a small, windowless interior room or hallway on the lowest level of a sturdy building in the safest alternative. Mobile homes are not safe during tornadoes or other severe winds. Do not seek shelter in a hallway or bathroom of a mobile home. • If you have access to a sturdy building or shelter immediately, using your set belt if driving. Do not wait until you see the tornado. If you are caught outdoors, see shelter in a basement, shelter or sturdy building. If you cannot quickly walk to a shelter immediately get into a vehicle, buckle your seat belt and try to drive to the closest sturdy shelter. If flying debris occurs while you are driving, pull over and park. Now you have the following options as a last resort: Stay in the car with the seat belt on. Put your head down below the windows, covering with your hands and a blanket if possible. If you can safely get noticeably lower than the level of the roadway, exit your car and lie in that area, covering your head with your hands.

Edison and Hobart see first graduate of pathway partnership Staff report

PIQUA — In 2019, Edison State Community College and Hobart Service inked an agreement to facilitate the receipt of academic credit at Edison State for technical training conducted by Hobart Service. In December 2020, Kevin Schieferstein, a Hobart Service employee from Laurel, Delaware, was the first to receive an Associate of Technical Study (ATS) degree through the partnership. The partnership provides a seamless transition for Hobart Service employees to take the next step to obtain an ATS degree in one of two areas of focus, Business or Industrial Management. The Edison State courses required to complete this degree are offered online to accommodate Hobart Service employees across

the country. Schieferstein, a Service Manager at Hobart Service, completed courses from the Service Training School at Hobart Service to apply credit hours toward Edison State’s ATS degree, earning a degree in Business. This degree allows employees like Schieferstein to qualify for advancement within the management ranks of Hobart Service. “The classes that I have taken at Edison State have equipped me with a broad general knowledge for the different aspects of business,” said Schieferstein. “The knowledge gained has not only helped me be a more effective leader in my new role as a service manager at Hobart Service but will also help me compete for advance-

PITSBURG — The Franklin Monroe-MVCTC FFA Chapter held its annual parent/member banquet in the high school cafetorium on March 16, 2021. This banquet served as a great way for the chapter to celebrate the accomplishments of the past year. Members were also recognized for the effort that they put into making this challenging year as successful as possible. Along with recognizing these efforts and accomplishments, the newly elected 2021-2022 FFA officer team was installed. The evening started off with a wonderful meal that was catered by Mary Bergman and her staff. Although COVID-19 restrictions limited the number of guests invited and the amount of socializing that could be done before, during, and after the event, the parents and members were able to enjoy the nice banquet meal as they sat and talked with their family and neighbors. Upon conclusion of the meal, 2020-2021 chapter president kicked the business session off. He and the other officers gathered at the podiums to recognize this year’s Honorary Degree recipient. The chapter recognized two very deserving individuals at this year’s banquet. Matt Lindemuth was the first individual recognized. Over the past four years, Mr. Lindemuth, a local farmer and parent of current FFA members, has been very generous with helping the FFA Chapter. Whether it be through monetary donations to assist with purchasing the supplies to build a storage barn or allowing the chapter to use his forklift to unload the fruit every year, he has always been willing to help. His support over the last four years has really helped the chapter tremendously. The second Honorary Chapter Degree recipient was Ron Crist. Ron Crist has had several grandchildren who have been active members of the Franklin MonroeMVCTC FFA chapter over the years. He has been a big supporter of all of the activities that they have been involved with. He has also lent his auctioneering skills to the chapter by serving as the auctioneer for our annual Pie Auction that is held during the banquet. Over the last 5 years, this auction has been a huge success and raised a lot of money that has gone to support the activities of the chapter. Without the support of these honorary degree recipients, we would not be able to operate the chapter with nearly as much success. Upon the completion of the Honorary Degree ceremony, the Greenhand and Chapter Degree ceremonies were held. Throughout the year, members have worked towards achieving these degrees

and all of their hard work paid off as they were honored with their respective degrees. The Greenhand Degree recipients were as follows: Sadie Bowser, Wyatt Bubeck, Evan Dowler, Alex Fulton, Luke Garber, Mitchell Garber, Joanie Hall, Jacob Heisey, Avery Hosler, Andrew Kress, Mason Lair, Gabe Longenecker, Paige Luchini, Conner Neitzelt, Layni Norris, Cade Peters, Brandon Rumble, Mason Sackett, Ethan Schatz, Olivia Sease, Lillie Shellabarger, Ethan Warner, Lauren Wholaver, Dalton Winterrowd, Rueben Wray, and Cason Yount. The Chapter Degree recipients were as follows: Jayce Byers, Karson Beck, Blake Addis, Zach Garber, Zoe Brookey, Jordan Gambill, Jacob BIllenstein, Madison Henninger, and Gavin Tucker. Chapter awards were also given out that evening. Some of these included participation in career development events as well as other community service projects that were completed throughout the year. Students were also recognized for their efforts in fundraising. This is an important part of what the chapter does because the funds raised through these activities help to pay for the events and trips that the group takes. The top fruit salespeople this year included Kristen Montgomery,

Morgan Baker, Blake Addis, Kim Fourman, and Sadie Bowser. The chapter thanked them for their efforts and also recognized all of the other members who sold over $300 worth of fruit this year. The evening concluded with the retiring officers installing the new 2021-2022 officers. Current President Walker Lindemuth passed the gavel to Mitchell Schmitmeyer who will serve as the president for the coming year. Vice President Caroline Kress installed Blake Addis, Josie Patrick the retiring secretary installed Mason Lair, retiring Treasurer Mitchell Schmitmeyer turned things over to Andrew Kress, Kim Fourman the retiring reporter handed things over to Dalton Winterrowd, Blake Addis the retiring sentinel welcomed Ethan Warner, and Katie Ressler ended her term as the chapter student advisor. The new officers are excited to get things started as they begin their term as the leaders of this organization. The chapter would like to thank all of those who helped to make the most of this year. We would like to especially recognize the School Boards and Administrations of both Franklin Monroe and the Miami Valley Career Technology Center for their willingness to work together to provide the best experience possible for our FFA members.
