Utilities Committee revises water, sewer rates

Metro Media image

The anticipated solar project footprint in Darke County is about 2,000 acres, and will produce a total capacity of approximately 165 megawatts.

Darke County residents express solar farm concerns DCCPA cites no local control, zoning issues By Nathaniel Kubik DarkeCountyMedia.com

DARKE COUNTY — A number of Darke County residents have recently expressed their disapproval of The Painter Creek Solar Project, proposed by Apex Clean Energy, Inc. (Apex), that is set to begin commercial operation in 2024. As it stand now, the preapplication for the project has yet to be submitted to the Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSB) for approval. The anticipated project footprint in Darke County is about 2,000 acres, and will produce a total capacity of approximately 165 megawatts (MW). The “We are not project will run adjacent to against green existing transmission lines energy, nor on remote, privately held individual rights land. Apex states that, if a payment in lieu of taxes as property (PILOT) is approved, Darke owners per say.

Top concerns relate to state government overreach into local communities, the destruction of productive farmland, and how the land will be properly zoned. Vice President of the DCCPA, John Beard, explained that Darke County residents are not against renewable energy sources, but rather are concerned with the government practices used to secure approval for the placement of the panels. “If building a solar industrial megaplex industrial plant in Darke County is a good idea for the local community, we need to take the time to make sure that land rights of farmers, land holders, and adjacent landowners are all respected in an equitable fashion,” said Beard. “If this is a good idea now, it will still be a good idea in three years when the state legislature has proper regulations in place for solar industrial megaplex electric plants.” Beard went on to explain that the group supports House Bill 118 and Senate Bill 52, which are both geared toward slowing the development of solar and

Greenville’s Utilities Committee met Thursday to revise its recommendations on water and sewer rate increases. The committee will recommend smaller increases than originally planned, but stretched out further in time.

Would lower initial rate hike from 50% to 20% By Erik Martin

DarkeCountyMedia.com

GREENVILLE — Greenville City Council’s Utilities Committee on Thursday revisited the city’s plans to

increase rates on water and sewer for city residents. By unanimous consent, all three committee members approved a recommendation to council for a decrease in the planned rate hikes. A previous measure, which would have increased water rates by 50 percent in May 2021, and 18 percent in Novem-

ber 2021, as well as hikes of 25 and 10 percent for sewer rates, respectively, was voted down 6-0 during council’s March 16 meeting. Instead, the committee will change the recommended percentage hikes to 20 percent in September 2021 and 10 percent in March 2022, for both water and sewer. Each

subsequent year would see 20 percent increases in September and 10 percent increases in March, for a 3-year period. Following this, rates for each utility would increase 5 percent yearly unless it is revisited by council. The committee will still recommend a switchover See UTILITIES | 8A

DARKE COUNTY — “Cool cats,” both full grown and kittens, are just waiting to be adopted into loving homes, and are available now at the Darke County Humane Society, located at 7053 OH-49, in Greenville. One “cool cat” fun fact is that unlike dogs, whose tails convey a happy, social mood when in motion, cats have extraordinary control over their tails, and use them in very expressive ways. When a cat’s tail is straight and high up, it may signal confidence and contentment, and a slight twitch at the top may indicate a very happy moment. If a cat’s tail appears curved, like the shape of question mark, it could mean that he or she may be in the mood to play and have fun. If the tail “swishes” slowly from sideto-side, a cat may be concentrating on something very specific in its path. When cats “whip” their tails rapidly, slapping from

munity themselves. She is survived by her children, Tim (Carole) Dull of Virginia Beach, Va., Tom Dull of Los Angeles, Calif., Terry (Mindy) Dull of Brookville, Ohio, Ted (Phyllis) Dull of Dallas, Tex., and Tammy (Daryl) Printz of Arcanum; her brothers, Keith (Sue) Schlechty and Steve Schlechty; her grandchildren, Jennifer (Josh) Sosby, Josh (Amanda) Dull, Elizabeth Stocks, Jeremiah (Morgan) Dull, Deanna (Jerod) Gillen, Darren (Katie) Printz, and Daniel (Emily) Printz; and her great-grandchildren, Anthony, Meredith, Cameron, Landon, Jocelyn, Emily, Evelyn, Madelyn, Alexander, Ella, Ava, and Maci Kay. A private funeral service for the family will take place at Tribute Funeral Homes, Greenville Campus with Pastor Todd Reish officiating. Burial will follow in Abbottsville Cemetery.

ROBERT D. CAIN, JR. GREENVILLE — Robert D. Cain, Jr., 82, of Greenville, Ohio, passed away Saturday, March 27, 2021. He was born January 5, 1939, at Good Samaritan Hospital in Dayton, Ohio, to Robert and Helen Cain. He is survived by his wife, Dorothy, of Greenville, Ohio; his son, Michael (Cindy); and grandson, Adam, from Toledo, Ohio; and two brothers, Norman and Paul. Robert (aka Bob, Uncle Dan) attended Patterson High School, class of 1957, and worked at White Allen Chevrolet dealership in a co-op program. Even with his love of cars, and the dealership trying to lure him into a permanent position with continuing education benefits, Robert’s call to a higher service was

much stronger. Robert’s lifelong desire to help others was fostered by his faith through the ministry of the Church of the Brethren (COB). He joined Brethren Volunteer Service and worked on several long-term volunteer service projects. Project duties ranged from fixing tractors and milking cows in Falfurrias, Texas, to an urban setting called “Pilot House” in Baltimore, Maryland, rebuilding homes. During volunteer service in Texas, he met like-minded wife, Dorothy. Robert and Dorothy (Styers) were married on July 2, 1960. After volunteer service, Robert attended McPherson College in Kansas. He later attended the University of Maryland and received his Masters

of Social Work. After college, Robert spent several years working in the field of Juvenile Delinquency and Correction. After moving to Tucson, Arizona, he and a colleague started a non-profit organization and newsletter to raise awareness of the growing number of children being incarcerated at a young age. After working eight years for our nation’s youth, Robert found his calling working for the elderly. This also reconnected him with the COB, interestingly via an old friend from volunteer service. In the early 80’s, Robert moved to Greenville to take the position of Assistant Administrator at the Brethren Retirement Community. He went on to become CEO and continued his service at BRC

for 20 years before retirement in 2000. Robert was a member of the Greenville COB, was active in the local Rotary club, and sat on a local board for juvenile corrections. During retirement, he continued his service to the elderly via consulting and community relationships, and also served two years for the Red Cross, locally and for hurricane relief in Florida. Before and during his retirement, Robert loved going on fishing trips with family and friends. He was a member of the Miami Valley Fly Fishers club and taught fly tying classes for 10 years.

Lady Wave run rules Springfield Blocher and Wright crush homers into stiff wind to pace the Lady Wave with 5-0 early season record By Gaylen Blosser DarkeCountyMedia.com

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Lady Wave softball team moved to 5-0 on the season with a nonconference win over the GWOC’s Springfield Lady Wildcats in 15-2 run rule win. “JV team gets a win today – the varsity and JV are both 5-0 now, just neat,” said Greenville varsity coach Jerrod Newland. “We are going with an off day tomorrow and Friday we will head to Fairborn and obviously Saturday here with a great day for Lady Wave Softball.” Susie Blocher crushed a two-out first inning home run deep over the right-center field fence into the teeth of a strong wind to give the Lady Wave a 1-0 lead after one inning of play. “That first one Susie hit, goodness gracious, it was

like a golf shot,” Newland said of the first of two Lady Wave homers. “It went over the fence by 40-feet and into a very stiff breeze.” Greenville used second inning walks to Shyanne Slade and Brianna Fellers and a two-out 2-run double off the bat of Alaina Baughn to give the Lady Wave a 3-0 lead. Blocher legged out an infield single to third setting up back-toback errors to plate 3-runs sending the teams to the third inning with Greenville leading 6-0. “Great day for Lady Wave Softball and you look at it there,” Newland stated. “We came out and got the one there in the first. They made a couple plays and with two-outs in the bottom of the second it’s 1-0 and then we string a few together, made a few plays and just excited for the program.” The Lady Wave made it a 10-0 advantage after three innings starting with a Slade walk, a B. Fellers oneout single to left, a Nyesha Wright single to center loading the bases. Baughn came to the plate to pick up

discipline – older kids can wait, wait, wait and explode, and both balls were shot.” A misplayed Blocher grounder to short, a Fletcher single to center and a 2-run double to left off the bat of Kenna Jenkinson had the Lady Wave up 15-0 with four-innings in the book. An error and a walk had Springfield runners on first and second bring the Lady Wildcats Pettiford to the plate. With two-outs and a two-strike count, Pettiford knocked a hard grounder just inside the first base bag good for a 2-run triple to make it a 15-2 score – the final score of the game. “We’re working,” Coach Newland said of the team’s continual improvement in the field. “Today is the last day of March and I can’t say its March anymore. March is over so we are building it and we are really excited for the April ahead and a great Easter weekend here for Lady Wave alums and everybody come back for a couple games on Saturday.” Shaffer picked up the win for the Lady Wave tossing

Things we want to limit are the mental errors. I can live with some errors especially early in the season. You work those things out. What we have to cut down is the mental stuff and make sure we are super prepared mentally so those types of things don’t compound the physical stuff.” “Up 7-4 we should be able to close that game out but

Beard noted that, for the time being, the group would prefer a moratorium. In addition to a referendum, the bills would require developers to give 30 days’ prior notice to local governments before filing with OPSB. Local governments can then reject or require a public referendum, or allow eight percent of people who voted in the previous gubernatorial election to demand a referendum. Keith Godown, a representative from the Neave Township Board of Trustees, stated that Neave Township is, similarly, not against green energy, but is concerned with the amount of prime agriculture land being used for the panels, and the overall negative impacts that the panels could have on the area. “We are not against green energy, nor individual rights as property owners per say,” said Godown. “The concerns we have need to be addressed and understood before any solar farms are permitted.” Godown went on to state that the citizens of Neave Townships should have a voice through a referendum, and decide as a township whether or not solar farms should be permitted.

Simply put, there are no laws or regulations currently in place that can stop someone from leasing their own property for solar development. HB 118 and SB 52 attempt to address public concerns related to the construction of solar panels near adjacent property, but as it stands now, landowners are largely free to do with their property as they see fit. Per OPSB rules, notices are sent to affected property owners, and hearings are held with local residents throughout the planning process. Residents then have the opportunity to submit complaints with the OPSB. To learn more about current projects, or the processes involved, visit https://opsb. ohio.gov. As mentioned, the Painter Creek project has yet to enter the preapplication phase with the OPSB, so residents will have an opportunity in the future to express their opinions. Groups such as the Ohio River Valley Institute and the Ohio Conservative Energy Forum have stated it is difficult to not see where these issues come full circle in relation to property rights. If HB 118 and SB 52 pass, the referendum demand of only eight percent of previous gubernatorial voters can lead to a very “slippery slope,” one in which an incredibly small portion of local voters are able to push a vote to restrict the rights of individuals who wish to lease their property. Likewise, many statehouse Democrats, and a few opposing

Other criticisms of the proposed bills cite their contradictory nature when There are no laws or compared to the siting regulations currently requirements for other in place that can stop forms of energy.

NO LAWS IN PLACE TO REGULATE

to regulate, “the location, erection, construction, reconstruction, change, alteration, maintenance, removal, use or enlargement of any buildings or structures of any public utility…, or the use of land by any public utility or railroad, whether publicly or privately owned, or the use of land by any public utility or railroad for the operation of its business.” In order to change this, the state legislature would have to pass monumental legislation that essentially reworks the way public utilities have been treated for many years. These issues are slightly addressed through HB 118 and SB 52, but seeing as the land for solar farms is largely designated as agriculture, developments in zoning laws are unlikely to change the course of the project. Other concerns relate to the proper disposal and waste produced by solar panels. Currently, there are no concrete plans for how to dispose of out-of-date solar panels, and many have concerns about waste impacting local ground water and plant life. Solar panels typically have a lifecycle of anywhere from 20 to 30 years, and must

be disposed of after that. The metals used to make solar panels, namely lead and cadmium, are prone to leaks after disposal. Leaks during operation are very uncommon, but after disposal, leaks have been reported. These issues have been repeatedly addressed in state houses throughout the country, with few-to-no suggestions coming forth for how to properly dispose of, or recycle, the panels. While the fight is ongoing, these issues must be addressed at the state level. The project is still in its profiling stage, so residents will have their opportunity to express their approval or dissatisfaction in the near future. Some state representatives are working to bring voices to those who are in opposition to the developments, but have also been met with considerable backlash. Currently, local property owners possess a majority of the power to make their own decisions about whether or not to lease their property for such ventures.

making it happen through community support. Pets, Paws & Claws, a rescue organization for stray, homeless and abandoned felines, was the idea of Evelyn Eshelman and her friends, Jenna and Callie. While still in third grade, the girls were inspired by reading a story in school about Angel Arellano, a 9-year-old girl from Fresno, Calif., who helped save the Fresno Chaffee Zoo from being closed in 2004, and encouraged residents and beyond to get involved. Her efforts helped to raise over $700,000, giving hope to the zoo and its four-legged inhabitants. It was after learning this true story that Evelyn, Callie and Jenna decided to put their own idea of starting a cat rescue into action. “We were reading a story at school about a girl who helped save a zoo that was going to shut down in her community. She loved animals, and started raising money to help them, which gave us the idea to start an organization helping animals too,” said Evelyn, co-founder of Pets, Paws & Claws. “We were not so sure of the idea at first, but we thought if we stick to the idea we could really do

it. We were talking about it at all of our recesses!” The girls also gained inspiration through visiting and fostering shelter animals who needed to experience the care, kindness and attention. Along with Evelyn’s mother, Brittney Eshelman, all three girls would regularly visit local shelters, such as Our Farm Sanctuary (Tipp City) and the Darke County Humane Society (Greenville), asking questions and gaining hands-on knowledge about how to care for animals who needed homes, taking a particular interest in cats. “I’ve always loved cats and especially love visiting animal shelters. My mom, sister and I used to play with shelter cats and dogs because they need attention and it’s lots of fun,” said Evelyn. “Our principal let us hang posters around the school, and we had a donation box in the school office. Lots of people donated animal toys, treats, and supplies that we shared with our foster cats…We made flyers that were passed out to students and talked to our classmates over the announcements. We collected items from our houses and held a garage sale last summer to raise money for animal care.” Some local businesses have allowed the girls to put posters in their win-

entrepreneurial confectioners in the United States realizing that, like Christmas wherein candies and gifts are given to children, Easter could be a similar money-making enterprise. In 1861, Boston confectioner, William Schrafft, experimented with a concoction of sugar, tapioca, corn syrup, pectin, and starch, creating a new pocket candy for Easter, similar to Turkish Delight, featuring a chewy flavored center surrounded by a sugary-coated exterior. Calling them “jelly beans,” Schrafft marketed the candy to the families of Union soldiers during the Civil War, as an alternative to sending chocolate (which would melt). Although popular in turnof-the-century drugstores as “penny candy,” it was not until 1965 that the jelly bean’s true potential for variety and flavor was appreciated.

water sludge hauling, the prices keep going through the roof,” said Delk. “For water line hauling, the last [estimate] was $150,000, and the next closest bid was like $350,000.” Delk added that the COVID-19 pandemic had caused construction costs to go up as well. Baumgardner, as well as Councilmen Clarence Godwin and Doug Wright, agreed there needs to be a small increase in funding for everyday expenses. Asked if the city is

now known as “Jelly Belly,” began to experiment with the colors, shape and size of their jelly beans. Today, over 16 billion jelly beans are bought and consumed throughout the Easter season. In 1890, a Pennsylvania drug store entrepreneur Robert L. Strohecker amazed his customers with a life-sized, five-foot hollow chocolate bunny that he had made as an Easter promotion. Whereas chocolate bunnies became a drug store staple for Easter baskets throughout the early 1900’s, the hollow chocolate bunny was just as delicious and cost less for the average shopper – only five cents per item. Chocolate sales slowed during WWII, but in 1948, Richard Palmer, Sr., took an interest in mass producing hollow chocolate bunnies, and with a $25K investment, opened up the R.M. Palmer Company, which today, contributing

to the 90 million chocolate bunnies sold in the U.S. each year. Peeps, those neon-bright, sugary marshmallow confections in the shapes of chicks and bunnies, began as the brainchild of Sam Born, a Russian immigrant who began making them in 1917. After acquiring the Rodda Candy Company in 1953, Born renamed the company Just Born in 1954, and began massproducing Peeps in his Bethlehem, Pennsylvania factory, cutting the production time from 27 hours to six minutes. Today, in 2021, Just Born can produce 5.5 million Peeps in a single day, with annual sales exceeding $34.4 million. Changing flavors each year is one secret of the company’s success, attracting new Peeps fans. Producing 1.5 billion Peeps in 24 flavors, some of the new 2021 offerings include “Hot Tamale Fierce Cinnamon Chicks,” Fruit Loops,

donations which would go toward veterinary costs, vaccines and medicines. “People can support our organization by donating any things they have at home that they may not need that could help local animal shelters,” said Evelyn. “We use Purina dry kitten chow, and any wet food. More importantly, they can spread the word about adopting a cat or kitten to others. We hope to build our own shelter one day, so we are saving money for that and to use for current foster pets.” Interested in helping out this great organization?

Local authors publish Bear’s Mill textbook Recently distributed to all county fourth graders By Nathaniel Kubik DarkeCountyMedia.com

DARKE COUNTY — A group of authors and publishers from Darke County recently completed work on a fourth grade history textbook titled A Story of Bear’s Mill: A Darke County Treasure. Through the help of sponsors, the book will be donated to all fourthgrade students in Darke County. The book was authored by Lois Smith, a long time Darke County resident and educator of 31 years, Nathaniel Kubik | Darke County Media and Lin Roberts, a Friends of Author Lois Smith (left), Executive Director of the Darke County Foundation Bear’s Mill board member. Both women are incredibly proud of Christy Prakel, and author Lin Roberts.

Darke County history, and see the book as a way to educate young people on the importance of local history. The book was illustrated and designed by Cheryl Goettemoeller, an artist and Darke County native now living with her family in Los Angeles. Smith, now 91 years old, said the book was a four-year process filled with many ups and downs. The group struggled to find an illustrator, which led to many setbacks while writing. Now that it’s all come together, the group couldn’t be more proud of their efforts to educate Darke County’s youth.

“We’ve worked incredibly hard on this book and it’s just wonderful to see it finally come to fruition,” said Smith. “We couldn’t be more thankful to the folks who helped make this happen, and we hope the kids will enjoy it and it will be useful for years to come.” She also added that being an associate of Bear’s Mill, where she guides tours of the building and grounds, has been a wonderful experience. In addition to this book, Smith has also published writings in several agriculture and children’s magazines. See AUTHORS | 7B

Gamble Montessori hosts agriscience student educator Staff report

DARKE COUNTY — Each year the Department of Agricultural Communication, Education and Leadership (ACEL) at the Ohio State University sends students to high schools around the state for 12 weeks to gain real world experience in the classroom. This year, the agricultural education program at Gamble Montessori High School welcomed student teacher Samantha McAllister, a senior in the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CFAES) and an agriscience education major. While student teaching at Gamble Montessori, McAllister is under the guidance of agriculture teacher and FFA advisor Mary Lee Dudley. “’Doing to learn’ is a key part of the motto for the National FFA Organization, so it only makes sense for our agriscience education student teachers to be in the classroom environment getting hands on experience,” said Dr. Shannon Washburn, professor of agriscience education and chair of ACEL. “Student teaching prepares our students for their future roles in the classroom by allowing them to lead an agriscience education program with the aid of experienced agriscience teachers. Aside from carrying out lesson plans in a classroom, agriculture teachers serve as FFA advisors where they host chapter meetings, help

students with career development events, and coach competition teams. This experience allows them to see into their future and get excited for the next step in their career.” Upon completion of her student teaching experience, McAllister will earn a bachelor of science in agriculture with a major in agriscience education and minor in production agriculture. She is a graduate of Arcanum High School in Arcanum, Ohio. Agriscience education is one of three undergraduate majors within ACEL. This major prepares students to acquire a license to teach agricultural science in secondary high schools through extensive training in agriculture science, educational psychology, instructional methods and youth development.

Arcanum cancels ‘Old Fashioned Days’ Business association lacks funds, volunteers ARCANUM — The Arcanum Business Association (ABA) recently made the difficult decision to cancel the town’s annual, “Old Fashioned Days,” scheduled for early May 2021.

Darke DD has been “on the move,” since the beginning of the COVID pandemic, providing programs, services, and opportunities for the people and families they support, and most recently, receiving the highest threeyear accreditation from the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD).

ABA President Rose Lambert said the association’s funding is down significantly from previous years, in part due to the cancellation of last year’s event. A lack of volunteers has also become an issue for the organization. In addition, Lambert noted that

the COVID-19 outlook is difficult to predict, and the board figured it would be best to support other events throughout the year. “We see this as a rebuilding year as we try to regroup and pick up where we left off two years ago,” said Lambert. “We understand this may upset See CANCELS | 6B

The Arcanum Preservation Society plans to use the park again this year for its annual Fourth of July parade. Banks also stated that Arcanum FFA requested to build picnic tables again this year. The village buys the material and the students build them. “I think this is a great opportunity for the kids to learn and make a contribution to the village,” said Banks. “We’re grateful for their assistance and look forward to continue working with them.” To conclude, council adopted an ordinance establishing the 2021 community pool rates.

story is not a unique one; eventually every one of us experiences the loss of our loved ones just as everyone of us will experience death. Evidently, through the loss of my husband, I can better enter into the passion of the cross. My broken heart hears better than my ears, sees more than my eyes and knows more than my brain. Experiencing the loss of a loved one solidifies the Easter promise given to us. We can profoundly experience the sacrificial death of Jesus, and the intense sorrowful grief of Mother Mary. Such sorrow brings us closer to the cross recognizing that pain of grief is indeed the price one pays for love. But possibly there is sublime beauty in such tribulations since they allow us to help others who are going through their ordeals. We are all given the opportunity to unite our sufferings to the cross to be brought to the glory of His Resurrection. It is all part of God’s plan.

This Sunday is Easter Sunday, the most important day of the year for Christians. It has also been referred to as Resurrection Sunday, since it is the day Jesus arose from the tomb after being crucified to death upon a cross.

Death causes great sorrow and grief for the persons left behind. Their faith can heal them but cannot take away the anguish of their loss. It becomes a process of working through their agony and suffering through their distress. I know this, in a manner unlike I have ever experienced before. Although I lost my parents and in-laws years earlier, I recently lost the love of my life, my husband Steve. I watched him die in varying degrees until cancer took his mortal life. My

New UCLA Discovered “Biocell” – Thicker Hair in as Little as 30 Days Clinical trial from the University of California results in 74% more hair growth – 100% naturally

housands are rushing to get a new hair restoration method based on surprising new studies from the University of California. It is the world’s first and only hair loss solution that revives dead hair follicles. And studies confirm it helps men and women regrow a thick, full head of hair, even after years of balding. Now, with news of this breakthrough spreading like wildfire — the manufacturers are struggling to keep up with overwhelming demand. That’s because, unlike other methods, it is prescription-free, drug-free, and has no side effects. And while hair transplants can cost $4,000 or more, this new approach costs pennies on the dollar and doesn’t involve going to the doctor’s office. Instead, it leverages cutting-edge technology to prevent hair loss, fill-in embarrassing bald spots, and renourish thinning hair — with results you can see and feel in 30 days or less. As Jeanne F. from San Diego, CA reports: “When my husband began to use this product, all he had on top of his head was fuzz. His hair began to grow after 30 days and now it is about 2 to 3 inches long!”

Surprising Truth About Hair Loss It is commonly believed that hair loss is hereditary. Unfortunately, most people think there is nothing they can do to stop it. However, while many doctors will tell you that thinning hair, a receding hairline, and bald spots are due to your genetics, this is not the whole story. “While genetics play a role, it’s not the main reason you lose hair,” says Dr. Al Sears, the nation’s top anti-aging doctor. “And surprisingly it’s not just your age, thyroid, hormones, stress, or a vitamin deficiency, either.” The latest scientific research reveals that hair loss is primarily caused by the stem cells in your hair follicles dying. “This discovery is a true breakthrough because by reviving these stem cells on your scalp, you can stop hair loss dead in its tracks and trigger new hair growth, even in areas that have been thinning for years,” explains Dr. Sears. Now, at his world-famous clinic, the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine in Palm Beach, Florida, Dr. Sears and his team have used this game-changing discovery to develop a brand-new hair restoration formula that is taking the country by storm.

Sold under the name Re-Nourish, it is flying off the shelves with men and women of all ages raving about the results it delivers. “I have seen a significant improvement in hair growth. Previously, you could see thinning areas at the back of my head and now hair has grown over

Lauren Warner (center), Darke DD Aktion Club member and president, delivers fresh coffee and donuts to staff at State of the Heart Care in Greenville. The Aktion Club has also been collecting non-perishable food items throughout the month of March to support local food pantries, including Ansonia UMC, Grace Resurrection in Greenville, and the Union City Help Center.

Breakthrough research proves this discovery helps fill-in bald spots, re-nournishes thinning hair, and leads to noticeable growth in as little as 30 days. it,” says Peter W. from Ontario, Canada. And Susan D. from Fort Pierce, Florida reports, “My hair was thinning. So, I began to use Re-Nourish every day on the front part of my scalp. Now I have thicker hair.” Dr. Al Sears, M.D., is America’s leading anti-aging expert. He’s authored more than 500 scientific papers, and his discoveries have appeared on more than 50 media outlets including, ABC News, CNN, ESPN, Discovery Channel, National Geographic, Lifetime, and many more.

Regrows Hair In Just 30 Days Scientists now know that stem cells are the lifeblood of your hair follicles. Research from the University of California shows they’re the reason you’re able to grow hair. However, these stem cells aren’t always active. In fact, studies reveal they’re only active during certain phases of the hair growth cycle. “Your hair grows in three phases,” explains Dr. Sears. “First, you have the anagen phase, the hair growing phase. Then the catagen phase, when hair gets ready to shed. And finally, the telogen phase, where your hair is pushed from the follicle and falls out.” As you get older it becomes harder for your hair follicles to complete this three-phase cycle. The results? Your hairs get stuck in the telogen phase. This is when they start falling out and stop regrowing, no matter what you try. This process doesn’t happen overnight, says Dr. Sears. “At first, your hair dries out, becoming brittle, thin, and harder to style. Then, you start finding hairs on your pillow and down the drain. Finally, you’re left with bald spots that age you prematurely.” Fortunately, Re-Nourish puts a stop to this. It revives the dead stem cells in your hair follicles and reactivates your hair’s three-phase cycle, triggering new growth in as little as 30 days — even in areas that’ve been balding for years.

Reawakens Dead Hair Follicles For years, scientists couldn’t figure out why hair follicle stem cells died. However, a study from the University of California finally found the answer., It has to do with T-cells — an important immune

cell in your body. The researchers discovered these T-cells are the only way to command hair follicles to grow new hair. More importantly, they showed that T-cells helped revive the stem cells in your hair follicles — spurring new growth, filling in bald spots and natural hairline. uses a Re-Nourish unique blend of all-natural ingredients. By spraying it on your hair once per day, scientific studies show you can revive dead stem cells and improve the appearance of thicker, fuller hair. For example, the key nutrient of Re-Nourish was tested on a group of severely balding women. After 6 months, nearly 70% of the women saw significant improvement in hair growth. Their hair was noticeably fuller, thicker, and healthier looking. Most exciting of all, they grew new hair on parts of their scalp that had been bald for years. In another study, Italian researchers gathered a group of both men and women with thinning hair and applied the core ingredient of Re-Nourish. After 12 weeks, they reported a staggering 74% increase in hair growth. “It’s really mind-boggling that my hair started growing back,” says Zan R., another Re-Nourish customer. With results like this, it’s no surprise that demand for Re-Nourish is soaring. Thousands of men and women are scrambling to get their hands on the limited-supply available. Re-Nourish is not currently available in any store at any price. But we’ve secured a small batch for our readers.

Enforcement Appreciation Day. More recently, they helped make Christmas a little brighter through their Adopt-A-Family program, providing toys, clothes and food to six families. They were also pleased to partner with the Darke County Road Hoggs and St. Paul’s Lutheran Church of North Star. Most recently in March 2021, the Aktion Club, in partnership with Greenville Kiwanis Club, has been collecting non-perishable food items to support local food pantries, including Ansonia UMC, Grace Resurrection in Greenville, and the Union City Help Center. “Kindness matters,” said Darke DD Aktion Club member and president, Lauren Warner. “Showing kindness, being respectful to others and having courage. We do this through Aktion Club.” Warner, who was recently named the March, 2021 “Member of the Month,” has provided strong leadership for the group by attending meetings and participating in the club’s various activities. In addition, the Aktion Club has initiated an ongoing project to deliver fresh Eikenberry IGA donuts and Coffee Pot coffee (both located in Greenville) to COVID “front line” workers, such as nurses, doctors, EMTs, hospital and nursing home staff. To date, the Aktion Club has made deliveries to staff at State of the Heart Care and Wayne HealthCare, and plans more deliveries in the future. “Aktion Club members participate by giving suggestions to shape the service projects. It is a very member-driven group,” said Sue Huston, Darke DD Community Connections and Advocacy Coordinator. “Members wanted to thank our front line workers for providing services and sup-

port that the Darke County Community depends on.” In addition to the Aktion Club, Darke DD also coordinates three Next Chapter Book Clubs, a group which meets weekly to discuss a book. Pre-COVID, the group held meetings at The Coffee Pot (Greenville), Art Sense (Union City) and the Bradford Library; however, during COVID, the group has continued to meet via Zoom. While getting back to in-person meetings, facilitators will continue to offer zoom as a way for people who either do not have transportation or are unable to participate. Recent books discussed by the group were Where the Red Fern Grows, James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Shiloh. Before COVID, after reading each book, the Greenville Public Library would host a ‘movie matinee’ where book club members could compare their readings to the characters on-screen. With the pandemic slowing down, many members look forward to resuming in-person meetings and activities. While Aktion Club members work hard to raise funds throughout the year, they rely on their partnerships with other organizations to expand their outreach. One Darke DD program, “FANS” (an acronym for Friends, Allies

and Neighbors) encourages community involvement and support of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Through this program, businesses, service organizations, churches and volunteers can help further the mission of Darke DD, through supporting the 14 ongoing service projects throughout the year developed by Darke DD members, including the Wick’s Pie Sale (before Thanksgiving) and Trophy Nuts Sale (occurring after the first of the year). “We support people being fully engaged,” said Huston.“Our mission is to empower people with developmental disabilities to explore possibilities for their lives by maximizing independence, community participation, employment and economic self-sufficiency in their daily life experiences.” To learn more about Darke DD, located at 5844 Jaysville-St Johns Rd., in Greenville, visit the Darke DD on the web at www. darkedd.org or call at 937548-9057.

Know the facts about orphaned, injured wildlife Staff report

COLUMBUS — A baby bird has tumbled from its nest. A young white-tailed deer is discovered at the base of a tree. A nest of immature rabbits calls a suburban yard home. These are all common situations Ohioans experience when wildlife reproduction peaks in the spring, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. Each situation has a natural solution, and professional intervention should remain a last resort. It’s important to remember that wildlife parents are devoted to their young and rarely abandon them. A young wild animal’s best chance for survival is with

Roberts, the book’s co-author, has a passion for education. She has an M.B.A from Urbana University and previously worked in business, but stated that her passion lies in education. She continues to work in the university academic area, where she has been since 2003. Aside from her day-to-day work, Roberts stated she is fascinated by the history of the mill, and sees it as a centerpiece of Darke County history.

its mother. Most wildlife taken in by people other than trained and licensed wildlife rehabilitators do not survive. In many cases, a young animal collected by a person is not lost or abandoned but was simply waiting for a parent to return. Many species are raised by only one parent (usually the mother) who cannot be in two places at once. This means that baby wildlife must be left alone several times during the day, or even most of the time while the mother ventures off to find food for herself and her young. In the case of white-tailed deer, a doe will hide her young from predators by leaving it alone in a secluded spot, such as a grassy meadow or a flower bed. A hidden fawn has virtually no scent,

“This book is a love of history for me. I want to make sure Darke County history is preserved for future generations to enjoy, and continue to educate our youth on the history of their home,” said Roberts. “We’re so thankful for the people who helped make this possible, and we look forward to distributing more copies.” The authors would like to offer a special thank you to the following groups for their support throughout the endeavor: Friends of Bear’s Mill Board, Darke County Foundation, Harry D. Stephens Memorial Inc., Lydia

and when left alone, it is difficult for predators to find it. The doe is usually nearby and will tend to the fawn during the night. Baby birds that have fallen from their nests are among the most commonly encountered wildlife species removed from the wild by humans. Contrary to popular belief, human scent will not prevent the parents from returning to care for their young. Individuals should return a baby bird back to its nest and walk away so the parents can continue to feed it without fear of humans. If you see open wounds or other injuries, or you know in fact that a young wild animal has lost its parent, research solutions before taking any action. Specific guidance on how to best

help commonly encountered wildlife species is available on wildohio.gov State and federal laws protect and regulate wildlife in Ohio, and only trained and licensed wildlife rehabilitators, with permits issued by the Division of Wildlife, may possess and care for native wildlife. These laws are in place for the benefit of humans as well as wild animals. To further protect young and vulnerable wild animals, keep pets under control so they do not raid nests or cause injuries. Remember to keep pets inoculated against parasites and diseases. Always check for nests before cutting down trees or clearing brush. It is best to cut trees and clear brush in the autumn when nesting season is finished. Teach
