STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

ANSONIA – Ansonia’s new Casey’s General Store is one of about 10 locations the Iowa-based company plans to open this year in western Ohio, says company spokesperson Bill Walljasper. With several properties already in Indiana, Walljasper said “Ohio is a natural next step, a great opportunity to expand our stores. Typically we build in smaller communities, with fewer than 10,000 in population,” Walljasper explained, noting that some Casey’s locations are in communities with populations of around 3,500. Casey’s General Store offers fuel and a variety of homemade food products made on-site, including pizza, subs and doughnuts and breakfast pizza. Typical convenience store items also are available. The Ansonia location opened for business Thursday, March 30, and is planning a grand open-

ing Friday and Saturday, April 7 and 8, said area supervisor Judy Rozelle. “We’ll be open from 5 a.m. to midnight,” Rozelle said, and will be offering special pricing on pizzas, doughnuts as well as drawings and giveaways.” Rozelle said customers also can download Casey’s app from www. Caseys.com to register for free fuel for a year. The Ansonia store will employee 20-22 employees, both full and part time, Walljasper said. “We try to hire within the communities we are located in. And we will get heavily involved in the community. Employees know what’s going on in their community,” which is one reason Casey’s hires locally. “Look for us to be involved in the Ansonia community.” Julie Price will be managing the Ansonia Casey’s, which is located at 117 N. Main St. Other western Ohio locations currently include Union City, Ft. Loramie and Cridersville.

Amber Garrett leaving Main Street Greenville GREENVILLE – Main Street Greenville announced on Monday that Amber Garrett is leaving the organization effective May 26. Garrett has been its executive director since 2013. Peggy Schultz, chairman of the board, said, “Amber has played a critical role in the development and success of the organization, and while we will miss her and her inspiring leadership, we wish her the best of luck in her new endeavor.” Schultz continued, “Over the next few weeks, we will be conducting a search to ﬁnd the new Main Street Greenville Executive Director. During this transition period, it is our priority to ﬁnd the best individual to lead, while still maintaining a stable and effective organization. We will share the job announcement soon and ask for your help in identifying

candidates who can help Main Street Greenville continue along this successful trajectory.” Garrett said she will be pursuing new challenges and opportunities. “I have a mix of emotions as I move into this next chapter of my career, as the work of the organization has become and will continue to be so very important to me,” Garrett added. “The decision did not come easily as I am extremely proud of all that Main Street Greenville has accomplished during the past four years. I hold dear to my heart the relationships I’ve built during my time as Executive Director.” She thanked everyone that has been supportive of the organization and her over the years, including board members, volunteers, downtown businesses, our supporters, my friends, and my family.

a way of ﬁnding and telling stories that happen behind the scenes of games. It was one of those stories that earned him third place for Original Writing - Feature Story.

Cloverbuds to ‘rock’ local parks SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – Taking a walk in the park will soon be very entertaining. A community service project by the county’s 4-H Cloverbud groups will get visitors looking for something other than Tweets and texts on their electronic devices, says Canine Capers 4-H Club adviser Andria Haworth. Haworth’s young Cloverbuds, ages 5-8, have been busy painting colorful rocks with interesting pictures, designs and inspirational messages. The painted rocks will soon be hidden by club members on hiking trails in the county’s parks. Those who find a rock are asked to take a selfie holding the rock, then post the photo along with the location the rock was found on Facebook at Darke County 4-H Cloverbud Rocks. “Once someone finds a rock, they should take a picture, post it and then hide it somewhere else in the park. The rocks can even travel from park to park,” Haworth said.

The painted rock project idea was brought to Darke County by Haworth after she and her family visited her father-in-law in Florida. “We visited a park and came across little painted rocks. We ﬂipped them over and found a Facebook page written on the back,” Haworth said. “My kids thought this was the greatest idea and wanted to paint some rocks and put them in our parks.” Haworth took the idea to Rhonda Williams, 4-H Educator for Darke County. “She said, ‘let’s do it with the Cloverbuds,’” Haworth said of Williams’ approval of the project. Besides giving the county’s youngest 4-Hers a community project to complete, Haworth and Williams had another motive. “Another incentive was to get people out and recognize all the great parks we have in Darke County,” Haworth explained. The rock project has been so successful that Williams is opening it up to all 4-H groups in the county. “We’ve had a great deal

of interest in it,” Williams said of the rock project. “I thought it was a fantastic idea. It’s a good opportunity to raise awareness of 4-H program.” Williams said she also believes it’s a way to “build some community spirit. And it has a health beneﬁt as well. You’re exercising but you’re having fun.” Williams said she emailed the county commissioners to be sure it would be OK for the 4-H members to place the rocks in county parks and “they all three said they saw no issue with it and said we

should ‘rock the world.’” Hikers will be able to start finding the rocks as soon as the weather warms up enough for Cloverbuds and other 4-Hers to get out and hide them, Haworth said. “We’re telling the kids not to hide them where people won’t ever find them, like under a leaf,” she said. “We want people to be able to find them and hide them again. As soon as we get some hidden, we’ll go on the Facebook page and say ‘we’ve hidden some at (name of park). Time to go hunting.”

out the night before but told the officer he would not do it again. The officer also learned the husband wanted to leave the residence, but his wife would not let him because she believed he had drugs on his person. The male subject consented to a pat down search and a small amount of marijuana was located in his right rear pocket inside a blue cigarette box. There also was a pen with residue on the inside that was taken as evidence. The husband openly admitted to the marijuana and was cited for drug possession. The husband left with his son and his wife remained at the residence with her daughter. Officers took the marijuana and paraphernalia to the police department and placed it in the property room. WANTED PERSON On March 28 an officer was traveling eastbound in the 500 block of East Third Street when he observed Gage Bradburn standing on a porch. The officer was aware Bradburn had an active warrant from Darke County Municipal Court for contempt of court for an original charge of a CPO violation. According to the police report, when Bradburn spotted the patrol car, he ducked down quickly and ran to the front door of the residence. The officer made contact with Bradburn’s mother and she agreed to speak with him and convince him to come out so he could be arrested for the warrant. After several minutes, Bradburn agreed and was arrested without incident. He was transported to the Darke County Jail where he was incarcerated without

bond and is serving 80 days. On March 22 two officers located known subject Scott Williams in the 400 block of East Third Street. Williams was found to have an active warrant through the Darke County Sheriff’s Office for contempt of court for failure to pay child support or failure to seek work with no bond. Williams was arrested without further incident and was transported to the Darke County Jail where he was incarcerated. On March 24, an officer on routine patrol saw Zachary Pretsman walking on East Water Street.

was released to a Miami County Sheriff’s deputy. DISORDERLY On March 26 Shelley Henry called officers to her apartment in the 300 block of Miami Circle in reference to harassment by her neighbor, Deborah Mayer. Henry told the officer Mayer verbally harasses her every time she steps out onto her porch to snoke. Henry said she was trying to use the rear door of the apartment until Mayer started saying she was getting smoke on her clothes and the smoke is coming through the wiring in the back of the apartments. Henry also believes Mayer used a shovel and wedged it up against her door to keep her from leaving the rear of the apartment. According to the report, Mayer has tried to get into Henry’s vehicle and also has asked for multiple rides to different locations to pick up pills. Mayer will stop Henry on her front porch before she can enter the apartment after shopping trips to the grocery. Henry said Mayer also pulls at her shopping bags to see what’s inside them. Henry has asked Mayer repeatedly to stay away from her and her apartment. Mayer will not heed the warnings and will sit in Henry’s chairs at her front door. Henry has asked her multiple times to get out of the chair and stop bothering her. Mayer yells at Henry, calling her crazy and says she will have her removed and she hates her. On March 26, Mayer refused to get out of Henry’s chair until police arrived. Mayer’s mother, Barb Hittle arrived on the scene. Hittle said Mayer is not taking her medication and she had to trick her the day before by putting pills into a sandwich. Mayer was cited for disorderly conduct. SHOPLIFTING On March 22 an officer made contact with Walmart’s loss prevention officer in reference to a theft which occurred at Walmart on the previous evening. The Walmart loss prevention officer explained on March 21, an unidentified white male entered the store through the grocery entrance and begins walking through several different aisles in the store. The loss prevention officer told police she began following the male because she suspected him of being involved in a theft incident the previous day, March 20. She said the male went to the jewelry section of the store where he selected a gold and silver watch. She observed the male take the watch to the purse section of the store and conceal it under his hooded sweatshirt. The male exited the grocery side of the store passing all points of sale without paying for the

watch. The loss prevention officer confronted the male outside of the store on the sidewalk and when doing so, he said “this is all I took.” The male attempted to give the prevention officer the watch. She told police she did not take the watch. The suspect took off running south away from the store and in doing so bumped into the loss prevention officer, causing her to spin around. He then ran east through the alley on the south side of Walmart towards Benden Way, where she lost sight of him. Walmart provided photos of the male to the police, who has been identified as a person of interest. An officer went to the person of interest’s home to speak with him but was unable to locate him. On March 25 an officer was dispatched to Walmart on a shoplifting complaint involving Nakysha McNutt and Terrance Liggins Jr. According to the report, the store’s loss prevention officers observed McNutt taking clothing items from the men’s department and giving them to Liggins, who concealed the items inside the front of his pants and in the right sleeve of his coat. Both parties exited the store from the tire and lube center. The loss prevention officers stopped the suspects outside the building after they passed all points of sale without paying for the concealed items. The pair did pay for other items in their cart at the tire and lube center. One officer arrested McNutt for an outstanding arrest warrant for failure to appear for a driving under the influence suspension. She was transported to the Darke County Jail and incarcerated on a $1,525 bond. Another officer spoke with Liggins and the Walmart staff outside the tire & lube center, where he admitted to stealing items and admitted to officers he made a bad decision. Liggins was taken to the security office by the Walmart staff where he was given trespass paperwork. He also was cited for theft. McNutt was served a citation for complicity to theft. The total value of the items taken was $49.06. EARLY BIRD POLICY The Greenville Police Beat is prepared from public records available at the Greenville Police Department.

DARKE COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Has the idea of traveling internationally ever intrigued you? Whether you have realized your dreams of traveling around the world or not, there is an opportunity to bring the world to you. Hosting a high school exchange student is one way to experience another culture right in your own home. Heather Brown, area representative with International Student Exchange, has for 14 years brought world together by placing high school foreign exchange students with local host families.

More than 100 international students have been placed by her in local homes representing over 20 different countries. Brown was recently honored at an ISE meeting in Praque, Czech Republic for the care that she gives to this position. Every fall, shortly after students arrive, host families and their exchange student gather together for a meal and a night of culture hosted by Mrs. Brown. Students prepare a favorite or traditional food dish from their country to share with everyone in attendance. It is also a time they can share a traditional dance or custom. Presently, host families are being sought for the 2017-18 school year. Some of the students to be placed include a girl from Belgium who speaks French, a boy from Spain who loves soccer, a girl from Slovakia who is an excellent tennis player, a boy from Thailand who enjoys dirt bike riding, a Brazilian girl whose

interest is volleyball, and a girl from Germany who plays the violin and is only coming for ďŹ rst semester. Many other students from other countries and with a variety of interests are available for placement for the upcoming school year. All of these students speak and understand English.

ON YOUR MIND

READERS WRITE

Chance to see Coach Holtz To the Editor: The Big Brothers Big Sisters of Darke and Shelby counties will benefit from a unique fundraising program April 27 when legendary football Coach Lou Holtz comes to Sidney to speak at an event there, and some of the attendees will have an opportunity to meet Coach Holtz. Coach Holtz will be part of an educational and entertaining evening that features some of the nation’s top financial and retirement experts along with Coach Holtz’ “Game Plan for Financial Success”. While Coach Holtz and the financial experts on hand for the event will provide plenty of solid advice for planning for retirement, they will also entertain and educate event attendees. The evening is sponsored by Eikenberry Retirement Planning of Sidney. It will be held in the Sidney High School Auditorium. Tickets for the event are $25 and all proceeds benefit BB/BS and can be purchased at the www.Ohio2017.com website. Details about the event are available on the website. Jennifer Bruns Sidney & Greenville -------------------------------What is a Life Worth? Editor, After reading the Versailles Board of Education March Meeting Highlights, I would like to respond to their justification of NOT putting seat belts on all of the Versailles school buses. My research agrees the safest mode of transporting students to school is the school bus. But the bus compartmentalization only provides protection of the students in head on or rear end crashes. It gives no protection if in an accident, the bus lands on its side or rolls onto its top. In October 2005, an accident occurred in the rural

community of Plainfield, NH. A bus taking students home from school ran off the shoulder of a narrow, winding dirt road and flipped on its side. None of the 28 children on board were injured. All but one was wearing a seatbelt. The bus was equipped with lap seat belts. NONE INJURED, NONE DIED. The Versailles School Board is worried about possible troubles including increased liability and legal issues. Shouldn’t they be more concerned about doing nothing and being sued because an accident happened in which students are injured or worst yet, died. What is life worth? Surely more than the $150,000 it would take to put seat belts in all of their buses. The school district has the money. In the November 4th general election, there are four school board seats open. I would encourage anyone who agrees with me about the seat belt issue, please consider going to the Board of Elections in Greenville, pick up a petition to run for school board and file it by August 9 at 4 p.m. Sincerely yours, Alma Broerman,, Versailles -------------------------------Erwin....Still Not Open I see the unoccupied Erwin Brothers location several times a week and think that it is absolutely amazing that they have made a substantial investment in our community and is still not open evidently because of inept communication between government entities. It is hard enough for our county to compete with other interstate-aided cities such as Troy, Piqua, etc.; but, we are now compounding the difficulty of that effort by sending a negative message to every prospective business thinking about coming to our county-BEWARE OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT-IT MAY BITE!

Investing in Ohio’s highway system COLUMBUS—The Ohio Senate recently passed legislation investing $7.8 billion to fund the construction and maintenance of the state’s transportation system. The bill also enhances safety, promotes commerce and puts tens of thousands of Ohioans to work. “Infrastructure is a top consideration for companies seeking to expand their workforce in Ohio and the Dayton region,” said State Senator Bill Beagle. “The Senate’s transportation budget invests in the state’s job-sustaining highway system, lifts barriers preventing entry into the commercial driving profession, and redirects dollars to strengthen our local communities.” Passed by the Senate with unanimous, bipartisan support, House Bill 26 provides funding for the Ohio Department of Transportation, Department of Public Safety, Public Works Commission and Development Services Agency. “This bill makes critical investments in infrastructure, improving roads and bridges throughout the state of Ohio,” said Senate President Larry Obhof (R-Medina). “The bill also makes improvements in government efﬁciency and includes key changes to make Ohio a more attractive place to do business.” Among the bill’s provisions included in the Senate-passed version:

Lady Wave run rules Beavercreek GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Lady Wave used the long ball, timely hitting and a combination of freshmen pitching to run rule the visiting Beavercreek Lady Beavers 13-1 in a Wednesday night matchup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good day for Lady Wave softball,â&#x20AC;? said Greenville Coach Jerrod Newland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Five young kids played today. A lot of good mix of old kids and young kids. When you only have ďŹ ve kids that drive in the program, obviously young kids have to play. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just fun to have young kids that are experienced.â&#x20AC;? Junior centerďŹ elder Cassie Cromwell led the assault with a two-run ďŹ rst-inning triple and a third-inning grand slam to lead the Wave with six RIBs on the night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She shot the ďŹ rst ball out there,â&#x20AC;? Newland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great at-bat going with the screwball and hitting it outside and shot that

ball to right center. She hit one the other day that was far but that one was shot. Heck, the fence is 225 and it went farther than that. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just over, it was a shot, a grand slam. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a stud hitter.â&#x20AC;? Wave freshman Morgan Gilbert led off the bottom of the ďŹ rst with a single to left followed with an inďŹ eld single off the bat of four-year starter Karsyn Shaffer, a walk to Makayla Hanes with Gilbert scoring on passed ball for a 1-0 Greenville lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously the one-two hitter there, Shaffer and Gilbert â&#x20AC;Ś those are special kids. Newland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cat and mouse and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get athletes like that playing those spots. Get them on base and wreak havoc and good things will happen.â&#x20AC;? Cromwell drilled a tworun double to center and an Alli Hill sacriďŹ ce ďŹ&#x201A;y to center had the Lady Wave leading 4-0 after one complete. The Greenville girls plated ďŹ ve second-inning

runs taking advantage of a single to right off the bat of freshman Courtney Bryson, an RBI Gilbert double, a Shaffer run scoring groundout, a Hanes double to center, a walk to Cromwell followed with a Sydney Grote two-run double to right. Hill closed out the

Waveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scoring in the second with an RBI single to left sending the teams to the third-inning with Greenville holding a commanding 9-0 advantage. The Lady Wave batâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued to add runs to the board in the bottom of the third starting with Bryson taking ďŹ rst by way

of a hit batsman with a pitch off the helmet, a Gilbert single to center, and a Shaffer walk loading the bases. A popup to short had Cromwell coming to the plate to launch a two-out grand slam well over the right-center fence to give the home team a 13-0 lead.

The Beavercreek girls used three singles in the top of the ďŹ fth to plate the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone run of the night with the Lady Wave taking the run rule win. The freshman pitching duo of Baylee Petry and Caitlin Christman combined for the win with Petry tossing three strong innings of no-hit ball to open the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two freshmen out there,â&#x20AC;? Newland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Petry battled through a good couple of innings and left with a no hitter. Chrisman came in and did a great job getting a couple of outs and taking a no-hitter into the ďŹ fth. Just a good day for the program.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have young kids that are inexperienced itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a lot of fun but when you have young experienced kids itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of fun,â&#x20AC;? added Newland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to play six, seven of the young kids this year and they are going to go out and compete and do well. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about playing for the name on the front â&#x20AC;Ś itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a neat group this year.â&#x20AC;?

With ďŹ ve Lady Wave currently playing in the college ranks, Coach Newland is not surprised Hanes is the ďŹ rst of four Lady Wave 2017 seniors from the successful GHS softball program that will be moving on to play college ball in 2018. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to hit the ball,â&#x20AC;? Newland noted of

Hanes strength. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to go up there and hit the ball. The college game, the kids are big and strong and they put the ball in the grass and Makayla will ďŹ t right in for them. I imagine if she was on their team right now she would be in the mix hitting and playing. Just good stuff for her and the family and

cheaper school. Just proud of her and the program.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year she is just a breath of fresh air and grown up as a person maturing,â&#x20AC;? concluded Newland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You never see a frown with her attitude and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about, enjoy every day â&#x20AC;Ś every day is a blessing.â&#x20AC;?

The Wave picked up its second run of the inning with Logan Eldridge scoring from third on a passed ball. A Tanner Ross secondinning RBI single gave GHS a 3-0 lead with two-innings in the book. Wayne used an unearned third-inning run to make it a 3-1 game. Back-to-back Wayne singles opened fourth-inning play leading to the Warriors second run of the game by

way of a sacriďŹ ce ďŹ&#x201A;y making a 3-2 game. Greenville got out of the inning with a picture-perfect 5-4-3 (Ross to Pandey to Shields) inning ending double play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we need,â&#x20AC;? Blumenstock said of the Waves excellent defense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need as many ground balls as we can take, as many live plays as we can get rolling. Our pitchers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always going to go out there and strike everybody out and give up one hit.â&#x20AC;?

Ross followed with an RBI single, a Mills RBI single, a Shields single moving Mills to third and a Nathaniel Ridgeway RBI single scoring Mills with Shields advancing to third setting up the Waveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sixth run of the inning by way of a passed ball to give the Wave a 9-2 lead after four. Mills kept the Warriors in check in the top of the ďŹ fth while back-to-back one out singles in the bottom of the inning from Brandon Beyke and Logan Eldridge set the table for a deep drive to the wall in center off the bat of Tanner Ross, good for a two-RBI standup double giving the Wave an 11-2 advantage after ďŹ ve. Wayne picked up a run by way of a ďŹ elderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice in the top of the sixth for an 11-3 score. The new pitch-count rule came into play in the middle of the sixth inning for the Wave with Coach Blumenstock allowing Mills to throw ďŹ ve-pitches to open the inning before bringing Brandon Beyke to the mound where the senior closed out the inning without giving up an earned run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve used it every game,â&#x20AC;?

Blumenstock said of the new OHSAA pitch-count rule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So far it is making a difference. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changing the way that we are coaching. If I want to throw a guy tomorrow he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t throw 15 or more (pitches), so you have to keep an eye on it and ďŹ gure how you are going to save and who you are going to use. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to give a lot more younger kids a chance to pitch.â&#x20AC;? Wave freshman Tyler Beyke set the Warriors down in order in the top of the seventh including two strikeouts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Left hander â&#x20AC;&#x201C; right hander,â&#x20AC;? Blumenstock said of brothers Brandon and Tyler Beyke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shut them down and did exactly what we needed.â&#x20AC;? Tanner Ross led Wave hitting going 4-4 at the plate with 3 singles and a double while knocking in 4 runs on the night. Logan Eldridge was 3-4 including 2 RBIs. Pandy and Shields each had 2 hits, Brandon Beyke, Mills, Ridgeway and Tyler Beyke each accounted for a hit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more like it,â&#x20AC;? said Blumenstock of the 11 run 15 hit GWOC win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been looking for.â&#x20AC;? Mills picked up the win for the Wave while the combination of Mills, B. Beyke and T. Beyke combined for 7 strikeouts and 0 walks. 1370 KITCHENAID WAY GREENVILLE, OHIO

Wayne and Premier moving forward GREENVILLE – Wayne HealthCare and Premier Health plan to move forward with a new joint venture after receiving ﬁnal approval on March 23 from the Wayne Hospital Company, a community board that oversees the Greenville hospital. The joint venture will create a framework within which Wayne HealthCare can develop an afﬁliate relationship with Premier Health while still maintaining independent, local control. It also will enable Wayne HealthCare to complete its master facility plan. “This broader relationship with Premier Health allows us to provide the citizens of Greenville and Darke County with more health care services close to home,” said Wayne Deschambeau, president and CEO of Wayne HealthCare. “We have been pleased to work alongside Premier Health in the past, and look forward to taking that collaboration to the next level.” The new joint venture

" ĺ#NĺJ#N 8

will provide opportunities for the two organizations to work more closely together in areas such as strategic development, both at the hospital and system level, as well as on education, training and possible group economies of scale in purchasing. Future projects will include support from Premier Health for the Wayne HealthCare master facility plan that includes a threestory building to house a new obstetrical center, wellness center, a telemetry inpatient unit with 28 private beds, and a replacement for the Wayne Medical Building. This further long term collaboration to enhance health care services is designed to improve hospital operational efﬁciency and help decrease the cost of care as well. Keeping the services close to home provides convenience to community members, reduces drive time, and increases access to the care they need in a familiar setting. “We’re excited and hum-

bled by Wayne HealthCare’s vote of confidence in this affiliation,” said Mary Boosalis, president and CEO of Premier Health. “We very much respect Wayne HealthCare’s tradition of independence and have no doubt that each organization will learn a great deal from the other. In addition, we hope to demonstrate the value that local citizens can gain when a community hospital collaborates with a regional health system.” The joint venture will be structured in a seven-year contractual relationship. At the end of the contract term, Wayne HealthCare will have the right to continue the relationship without change, request a restructuring of the contract elements or dissolve the joint venture. During the contract period, Premier will make a $13 million investment in Wayne HealthCare. In return, Premier will be entitled to a one-third representation on the Wayne HealthCare Board. Wayne HealthCare will have two ex-officio non-voting seats

on the Premier Board. In addition, Wayne HealthCare senior leadership and physicians will participate in applicable Premier leadership conferences and planning sessions. “We are eager to embark upon this joint venture, which has all the hallmarks of an enduring relationship,” said Anita Moore, chair of the Premier Health board of trustees. “Both of our organizations share similar missions and visions to improve the health of the communities we serve, and we at Premier can’t wait to see what we can accomplish when we work more closely together.” “Premier Health has proven itself to be a good partner, so we’re looking forward to the possibilities created by this joint venture,” said Dr. William Johnston, chair of the Wayne HealthCare board of trustees. “We think Darke County residents will ﬁnd that this new collaboration will make a meaningful difference in the health care services available to them.”

GREENVILLE – Michelle R. Caufield, 32, of Greenville pleaded guilty to felony drug charges Tuesday morning in the Darke County Common Pleas Court. As part of a plea agreement with the state, Caufield entered a guilty plea to single counts of Aggravated Trafficking in Drugs (methamphetamine), a fourth-degree felony, and Aggravated Possession of Drugs, a third-degree felony.

Spring Soil Sampling with Darke SWCD GREENVILLE – Do you feel like your lawn or garden is lacking in some areas? Are you uncertain what fertilizers to use or amounts to apply in order to increase productivity? If so, you should consider soil sampling. Soil sampling is a tool farmers use to assess their nutrient needs for crop production. Why not apply this method to your garden; it’s essentially the same thing on a smaller scale. A soil sample analysis will tell you what fertilizers or treatments are needed to adjust your current garden levels for the coming year. A soil sample indicates whether you need to add lime or sulfur to achieve a desired pH level. It can also show a surplus or deﬁciency in organic matter, potassi-

um, phosphorus, and other nutrients. With this information, you are no longer blindly applying unneeded fertilizers which could save you money. Darke SWCD will again be a collection point for homeowners to bring in their soil samples. If you are interested in having a soil analysis for your garden, lawn or ﬂower bed, bring your samples to our ofﬁce by April 19, 2017. The cost for each soil sample is $15, and there’s no limit on how many samples you can submit. Here are some tips for pulling a representative soil sample: * Use a soil probe to pull your cores. (Available to borrow from Darke SWCD at no cost!)

* Remove any top debris, residue or turf thatch from the area. * Pull your cores 6-8” deep. If you are sampling a lawn, lift the sod and sample 3” deep. * Pull cores from as many places as possible (a single soil sample consists of 1820 cores) to cover the entire sampling area in a zigzag pattern. * Take a separate soil sample for different areas (lawn, garden, ﬂower bed, etc.) After you collect your soil sample, allow the cores to dry. Once they have dried, place your soil sample in a paper bag and bring it to the Darke SWCD ofﬁce located at 1117 Southtowne Court,

Greenville. They are open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. If you have any questions or would like to borrow a soil probe, please don’t hesitate to stop by, call (937) 548-1752 or email jared. coppess@darkeswcd.com. Soil sampling is a great way to save money, be environmentally friendly and increase your gardens productivity. It is an effective way to understand the current nutrient levels in your garden, gives you an idea of what you can do in preparation for this growing season and provides you a baseline to compare with future samples. Darke SWCD will be accepting soil samples until April 19.

helps host gavel

GREENVILLE – Fort GreeneVille Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) is proud to be volunteering as greeters at the public exhibit of George Washington’s gavel at the Greenville Masonic Temple #143 in Greenville on April 22. The historical gavel has ties with DAR. The gavel was used in two historical events at the National Daughters of the American Revolution’s location in Washington, D.C. In 1904, the gavel was used in the cornerstone laying ceremony for Memorial Continental Hall. According to DAR records, American Monthly Magazine, “The ceremonies attending the laying of the cornerstone were in charge of the Masonic order and were accompanied by Masonic rites. The lighted candles on the four corners of the stone and the intoning of the service were most impressive. The gavel was the one used by George Washington in laying the cornerstone of the national capitol, September 18, 1793, which was afterwards presented to Potomac Lodge, No. 5,

and by them loaned for this occasion.” Memorial Continental Hall, the oldest building of the DAR complex, was designed in 1905 by Washington architect Edward Pearce Casey, designer of the interior of the Library of Congress. Memorial Continental Hall was designated as a Registered National Historic Landmark in 1935 for its role in world history, which includes hosting the famous Conference on the Limitation of Armaments in the wake of WWI (1921). Diplomats from all over the globe met to discuss limits on the proliferation of arms. Their work at Memorial Continental Hall remains a recognized milestone in global peace efforts towards disarmament. The gavel was used again in 1928 at the cornerstone dedication of the DAR’s Constitution Hall. According to the DAR ‘s Daughters American Revolution Magazine, “After the corner stone was in place, the President General tapped its four corners with a gavel loaned for the occasion by the Potomac Lodge, No. 5, F.A.A.M., of the District. This gavel, as the President General explained to the assemblage, was used by George Washington, ﬁrst President of the United States, in laying the corner stone of the Capitol in 1793. It has been in the possession of Potomac Lodge ever since. Used on many historic occasions, the gavel, of stone tipped with gold, was also loaned to the National Society for the laying of the corner stone of Memorial Continental Hall on April 19, 1904.” Constitution Hall was completed in 1929 and designed by John Russell Pope. In 1985, the Department of the Interior designated the building a National Historic Landmark due to its national recognition a center for the performing arts and as the largest concert hall in Washington, D.C.

Jr. Naturalists will draw a bird Local libraries and SWCD while remembering Cooper host Rain Barrel Workshops GREENVILLE – Darke County Parks invites students in grades 3-6 to join them for the Jr. Naturalists program on April 8 from 9:30 a.m. to noon at Shawnee Prairie Preserve on St. Rt. 502 west of Greenville. This month the students will participate in “Draw a Bird Day” and creating their own nature journals. Draw a Bird Day began in England in 1943 when seven-year-old Dorie Cooper visited her uncle who was wounded in the war. In an attempt to cheer him up, she asked him to draw a bird for her. After seeing her uncle’s bird picture, Dorie laughed out loud and proclaimed that he was not a very good artist, but that she would hang the picture in her room nonetheless. Her laughter brightened several other wounded soldiers’ day, and every time Dorie came to visit thereafter, they held drawing contests to see who could produce the best bird pictures. Within several months, the entire ward’s walls were decorated by bird drawings. Dorie passed away from an accident a few years later, and ever since then, those from the hospital remember the little

Marion Local students perform Oklahoma

Delaplane

MARIA STEIN – Over 60 Marion Local High School students will present this year’s musical, Oklahoma! Students

VODKA

made in Greenville, Ohio 937.459.7134

have been busy rehearsing beautiful songs, entertaining dances, and great comedic timing. This classic show is filled with such popular songs as Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’, The Surrey with the Fringe on Top, Many a New Day, and Oklahoma! This musical represents realism, heartache, hard work, comedy, love, and tragedy. Not only is Oklahoma the first and most important of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals, it is also the single most influential work in the American musical theatre. It is the first fully integrated musical play and its blending of song, character, plot, and even dance would serve as the model for Broadway shows for decades. Come and enjoy the show as Marion Local students present Oklahoma on April 28, 29, at 7 p.m. and April 30 at 2 p.m. All performances will be held at Marion Local High School. Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for students. Tickets will be sold at the door and online through a link at marionlocal.org.

TASKS, Inc. enters the war on drugs VERSAILLES – On March 21, TASKS, Inc. (Teaching About Safety Kids Style) entered the war on drugs by donating to the Darke County Coroner’s ofﬁce. Coroner’s Chief Investigator Joe Van Vickle presents to Darke County youth and parents about the dangers of drugs, warning signs to look for in your loved ones, and other criminal activity that follows once you embark on such a lifestyle. During his presentation, he opens eyes to the effects of the cases he has investigated, the effects it had on families and the community, and provides guides to attendees that identify the substances seen and abused the most in Darke County. Funding provided by TASKS will be used to purchase the “Drug Guide for Parents” and “The 5 Most Addictive Substances on the Planet” brochures. Van Vickle presents to a wide range of students and parents, including but not limited to 4H groups, high school classes, SADD groups, PTOs, Kiwanis, Lions Club, and school staffs during development days. The presentation is eye-

opening to all attendees and addresses an issue that has hit our community hard in the past couple of years. Per Van Vickle, “The purpose of this program is to stop individuals from entering into this lifestyle. We must educate starting at a young age. If we can keep just one child from starting, then it’s worth trying. Until we stop the demand for them, drugs entering our communities and the substance abuses will continue to increase.” As a 501(c)3, any donations made to TASKS, Inc. are fully tax deductible and supported with a receipt and thank you letter from the organization. If you would be interested in donating to TASKS, donations may be sent to TASKS, Inc., 28 E. Ward

Coroner Chief Investigator Joe Van Vickle (left) and Commissioner Mike Rhoades (center) received a check from Scott Garrison to support the programs Van Vickle gives on substance abuse.

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE - Greenville Board of Education approved a resolution hiring the Greater Dayton Construction Limited dba Oberer Thompson Company to complete the second phase of the high school’s track and ﬁeld. The resolution was passed during an early morning meeting held Monday, March 27. According to Jim Sommer, board president, two companies had previously pre-

sented ideas to committee and board members. “This is the second step, a design-build step,” Sommer said about the project. No decisions concerning funding of the project were made on Monday. Board members also approved the hiring of Nanci Willman as a certiﬁed payroll clerk in the district treasurer’s ofﬁce as well as approving $150 in petty cash for the Career Technology Center’s Auto Tech students to attend state competition. The board’s next regular meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 20.

Honoring Dickey 50 years after his death RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

NEW MADISON – Located in Brock Cemetery a few yards from the grave of Darke County’s most famous native sits a marker that represents life. The marker is simple, but there are three words that signify the person buried in this grave is not like any other – Medal of Honor. While Annie Oakley may be known far and wide, the much lesser known Douglas Eugene Dickey arguably achieved more in his 20 years on earth than most of us could do in a hundred years. He gave his life so others could live. On March 26, 1967, Rossburg native Douglas Dickey, a member of Company C, 1st Battalion, 4th Marines, 3rd Marine Division, was fighting the Viet Cong in Operation Beacon Hill alongside his fellow Marines. Private First Class Dickey was called forward to replace a radio operator who had been wounded. Witnesses recall hearing the thud of a grenade landing and someone yelling “grenade” as Dickey arrived. Greg “Doc” Long was the corpsman treating the wounded radio operator and remembers the incident vividly. He watched as Dickey looked at the lieutenant and then at radio operator and Long and without hesitation threw his body over the grenade. One witness said a second grenade landed and Dickey scooped that one under his body as well. The Medal of Honor commendation stated, “Fully realizing the inevitable result of his actions, Private First Class Dickey, in a final valiant act, quickly and unhesitatingly threw himself upon the deadly grenade, absorbing with his own body the full and complete force of the explosion. Private First Class Dickey’s personal heroism, extraordinary valor and selfless courage saved a number of his comrades from certain injury and possible death at the cost of his own life.” On March 25, Friends of the New Madison Public Library held a program Remembering Douglas Eugene Dickey, USMC, Reaching the Finest and Most Noble Heights. The event featured

Dennis Dickey, the brother of Medal of Honor recipient Douglas Dickey, shared the story of his brother at a special program in New Madison.

Dennis Dickey, Douglas’ brother, and Robert Sharp. Dennis admitted after all of these years, it continues to be difﬁcult to talk about his brother and what happened on that Easter Sunday 50 years ago. “It was 35 years before I could ever talk about it and it wasn’t until last year that I had to talk about it,” he said. This program was only the second time he had presented a program about his brother. “It’s a subject I never talked about it, unless asked,” he added. Dennis noted the honors and recognition his brother received following his death, including two books, featured on the television program The War This Week, a section of Garst Museum dedicated to Douglas that displays the Medal of Honor, an American Legion Post (Ansonia) bears his name, and two Marine barracks have bore his name – one in the Philippines and another in Okinawa, Japan. “It’s hard for me to talk about him. I’m proud to be the brother of someone who did what he did.” Sharp honored the 21 Darke County residents killed in action in South Vietnam. They are David Brown, Army; Donald E. Byrum, Army; John W. Richard, Army; Douglas Dickey, USMC; Robert E. Floyd, Army; Melvin R. Green, Army; Merle W. Haben, Army; Wayne A. Painter, Army; John V. Pottkotter, Army; Gerald F. Subler, USMC; Gerald F. Trittschuh, Army; Jack Beam, Army; Robert L. Fowble, Army; Terry R. Heiser, Army; James M. Klink, Army; Gene M. Lutz, USMC; Sammy Barga, Army; Gerald B. Greendyke, Army; Douglas Paul Lefever, USAF; Gene F. Morrison, USMC; and Hubert C. Carter, Army.

Student talent showcased during Wave Pride SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Hundreds of visitors enjoyed musical entertainment while browsing art exhibits during the High Five for Wave Pride at Greenville High School on Thursday evening, March 30. An annual event, the evening showcases art in a variety of media created by all grade levels. Six-year-old Luna Burton proudly brought her family to see her construction paper design, featuring a cloud with a rainbow. “My teacher gave me the cloud and the rainbow strips then I wrote words that describe me on the rainbow,” Luna explained. Luna’s words were: awesome, nice, useful and

lazy. Her family smiled along with Luna on her choice of self-describing words. Other elementary exhibits included posters with drawings and words students are learning, for example, Weather Words. Math also was used to create art for High Five for Wave Pride. Clark’s Pizza in Bradford donated small pizza boxes for students to create their own paper pizzas, using fractions to determine their slices and toppings. Sixth-graders displayed art using science skills – oil pastels featuring nature, including plants and insects. Middle school students also participated in a display titled “I Stand For,” which included a black

and white photo of a student holding a poster with a word describing what they stand up for – such as respect or kindness. According to middle school art teacher Julie Brewer, her students took the “I Stand For” project on after learning about an artist named JR, who created artwork featuring photos of residents living in a building that was scheduled for demolition. As the building came down, so did the pictures of the residents, who were left looking for a home. Brewer said her students used the experience of JR to discuss what they would do if faced with a similar situation. What would they stand for? The art exhibit also served as a venue for GHS seniors who have studied

art to display some of their creations. MacKenzie Slade, who will be studying business at Ball State in the fall, said she also enjoyed taking art classes through high school. Slade’s exhibit included watercolors, drawings and a sketch book of pencil drawings, many created after her teachers gave speciﬁc topics or assignments. One pencil drawing was of a hand-held hair dryer. “We were asked to draw something with a cord,” Slade said. Musical performances scheduled throughout the evening included the High School Jazz Scene, Junior High Choir, High School Concert Choir, High School Orchestra and the Wavaires.

Aktion Club dedicated to serve SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – You won’t ﬁnd a more dedicated group of community service volunteers than members of the Aktion Club of Greenville. Sponsored by the Greenville Kiwanis Club and the Darke County Board of Developmental Disabilities (Darke DD), club members meet the fourth Monday of the month at the Ansonia United Methodist Church. Organized just a year ago, Aktion Club members have already left a mark on the community by volunteering in a number of ways. From helping with the county’s Trash Bash, making plastic mats for the homeless to ﬁlling tote bags with goodies for those dealing with cancer, club members believe in giving back. This month, Aktion Club members are out to bring awareness of autism by meeting with Darke County Commissioners, who signed a proclamation in support of April 1-30 as National Autism Awareness Month. “Aktion Club is about providing awareness to the community,” said Sue Huston, Darke DD community connections coordinator and Aktion Club adviser, According to the National Autism Awareness Month proclamation read by Aktion Club Secretary

Sam Ploch, 1 in 68 children nationally and 1 in 171 children in Ohio are diagnosed on the autism spectrum and while there is no cure for autism, if individuals who are diagnosed receive early and intensive treatment, they will lead improved lives. The Aktion Club also is urging all Darke County businesses and residents to “Light It Up Blue” for autism during April by shining a blue light in a window or in their porch light. According to Huston, Greenville’s Lowe’s and Walmart stores donated 43 blue bulbs for downtown businesses to burn throughout the month. Aktion Club representatives also met with Mayor Steve Willman to discuss turning the city’s downtown water fountain blue. On Monday, April 3, club members, along with supporters from Greenville High School’s Key Club will be wearing blue in honor of National Autism Day, which is today, April 2. On March 27, members met for their regular meeting, as well as to sort and organize more than 450 cans of food from a recent food drive challenge with the Shelby County Aktion Club, which only collected 201 items of food. The food is being donated to the food pantry, housed at the Ansonia United Methodist Church. “It’s really good that they are doing this,” pantry volunteer Judy Collins

said. “It’s always useful to get food from the community so we don’t have to go out and buy it.” Collins said the food pantry services those in need from the northern portions of Darke County, and is successful due to community support from events like the drive sponsored by the Aktion Club, as well as volunteers from Ansonia Church of God and St. Bernard’s Catholic Church in Burkettsville. Other community projects Aktion Club members recently have been involved with include making Cancer Bags – a Thirty-One brand tote bag filled with handmade fleece blankets, crocheted hats, lotion, lip balm, scarves, socks, magazines, and other items patients can find useful while undergoing chemotherapy treatment. Many of the items for the bags are donated, Huston said, while Aktion Club members assist in making the fleece blankets.

Earlier this year, club members donated bags to patients taking chemo treatments at the Greenville ofﬁce of Dayton Physicians. A couple Cancer Bags were donated to athome cancer patients. “The people we met were so appreciative,” Huston said, noting that one individual was “so amazed people she didn’t even know thought about her.” Aktion Club members also recently made a donation of $100 to the domestic violence shelter and have been collecting plastic bottle caps for the club’s on-going project to place 20 benches around Darke County. This recycling project is in collaboration with the Darke County Solid Waste District. During their March 27 meeting Aktion Club secretary Ploch summed up his club’s efforts. “It’s so good to make someone else’s life better by working together, isn’t it?”

McCoy visits students music class GREENVILLE – Ken McCoy of Greenville recently gave a master class in composing and arranging in Steve Blocher’s music class at St. Mary’s School. Using the Disney film classic “Fantasia,” McCoy gave the students in grades 3-8 a professional insight into the art of film scoring. McCoy, a veteran of the U.S. Army (SergeantMajor, retired) discussed how music and one-of-a kind Disney art work came together for the “ Fantasia” masterpiece which first aired in 1940 with the renowned Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra recording the sound track.

Promoting reading and outdoor activities

LEGAL NOTICE

GREENVILLE –Reading is critical to the success of children as they progress through school and is even more important to success in future careers. A challenge for many young readers is finding books they are interested in reading. A child’s love for reading is closely connected to the opportunity to read books about topics they are interested. Young boys, and even girls, who have a great interest in hunting, fishing and other outdoor activities will eagerly read books about those topics. Having books about these activities available to young readers is critical in developing a love for reading and increased reading proficien-

cy. A Miami Valley publisher’s mission is to bring these types of books to the children across the state and nation who love these outdoor activities. Founded by two brothers, Dave and Steve Shellhaas, the small, independent, publishing company from Greenville, set out to ﬁll a void of high quality, educational resources that actually teach children and youth about the outdoors and that they will want to read. According to Dave, who is also an educator of 27 years, “Being an outdoor family ourselves, we were looking for books and products that our own children would enjoy and would teach them about the things they were

interested in and they just did not exist.” Steve added, “We took it on ourselves to create books that would ﬁll this void and provide products that other outdoor families could use to teach their own children about the wonderful traditions they love as well and to encourage the children to read.” Miami Valley Outdoor Media, Ltd. specializes in

publishing books and products that teach youth about ﬁshing, hunting, shooting, and game animals. Their brand of Outdoor IQ books and products reﬂect the company’s slogan, “We Teach the Outdoors” and seeks to increase the next generation’s knowledge about the outdoors. This Ohio publisher is excited

about recent partnerships with national organizations that include ABC books for younger children. The national initiative, ABC Books for Hunting Heritage and Angling Legacy, allows Miami Valley Outdoor Media to partner with major, national, conservation organizations to make new, high interest books available to young and

even experienced readers. Outdoor IQ has launched a line of ABC books that aligns with the focus of each organization. Another beneﬁt of the initiative is that proceeds from the sale of each book are donated back to the organization to support their youth programs. Outdoor IQ’s title, the Ultimate Youth Shooting Sports Guide,

teaches youth about the various shooting sports available across the nation, such as 4H Shooting Sports, Boy Scouts, USA Shooting, and many others. Portions of the sale of this book are also contributed back to Pheasants Forever and Safari Club International Foundation’s youth shooting programs. Steve points out, Estate

“We believe that this is the first book of its kind here in this country. Shooting sports are huge in European countries and there are educational books published over there, but not here in this country.” If you would like to find out more about these and the other books Outdoor IQ offers, visit their website at www.outdoorIQ. org.

CORS gets supplemental Head Start funding UNION CITY – Through an increased federal investment in quality for early childhood education, Council on Rural Services (CORS) is receiving an award of $915,794 for supplemental preschool grant. This is part of a $290 million nationwide expansion award announced by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (HHS). Congress allocated the new funds as a down payment toward ensuring that nearly all preschool-age children in Head Start attend programs that operate full-time as announced in the new standards that must be fully met by 2021. These new Head Start standards place higher emphasis on a vision of evidence-based, data-driven and outcomesfocused services. These new standards are a signiﬁcant and positive step forward for the future of Head Start and the success of the children and families later in life. Within the new standards, all CORS Head Start funded centers must expand minimum teaching time to

1020 hours per year. The awarding of this grant enables Kids Learning Place to begin meeting this benchmark by converting the Head Start services in critical locations Darke County will increase the hours of their existing Union City classroom to include the full day standard of 1020 hours per year. Dan Schwanitz, CEO at CORS said, “What CORS is most proud of is that for over 40 years we have been a leader in early childhood education in Ohio. We have a history of achieving outcomes for children both by supporting their health and learning and by enabling their families to achieve their own goals for education, employment, stability, and success. This additional funding will continue to ex-

pand these outcomes.” Kids Learning Place currently offers Head Start services to 1,364 children in their nine county service area through funds from HHS and the Child and Adult Care Food Program. “Last September we transitioned 589 children to kindergarten who are ready to learn, healthy, and developmentally on target,” said Liz Pfenning, Early Childhood Director. “They have selfhelp skills and can regulate their behaviors and feelings in-group settings. As important, their parents are involved in their schooling; they have the leadership skills and conﬁdence to advocate for their child’s needs and to participate on parent committees. We here at CORS build lifelong learners in children and parents who set and achieve goals.”

Block areas in classrooms offer many opportunities for learning. Literacy by talking about their building, math by teaching number concepts and even social studies as they talk about spaces and places.
