Local vets honored by Ohio Military Hall of Fame GREENVILLE-Two local veterans will be honored on April 24 STACIE WARD as they are inducted bluebagmedia.com into the Ohio Military Hall of Fame for Valor (OMHOF) in the Atrium of the Ohio Statehouse. The 16th year for the ceremony, Technical Sgt. Lloyd Hunt of Arcanum and Staff Sgt. Douglas Black of Greenville are part of this year’s class with representatives from the U.S. Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps who served during World War II and the conﬂicts in Vietnam and Afghanistan. Given the Silver Star for courage in action on May 30, 1944 in the vicinity of Lanuvio, Italy, during World War II, Hunt’s daughter, Sue Besecker described her father as a very humble man. “We didn’t know about his Silver Star until all of us kids were well into our teen years. There was never a

discussion about it,” she said. “This means so much to our family.” After taking command of his platoon when their leader was wounded, Hunt and his men ran into hidden enemy entrenchments firing machine guns, rifle grenades and rifles at a distance of 35 yards. Even then he successfully withdrew his men, organized a base of fire and spied and killed two enemy snipers. Discovering two of his men wounded, he administered first aid and helped them to a place of safety while being subjected to the enemy. He also learned of a wounded man left behind, and without regard to his own safety provided aid and comfort in his last moments. Hunt also received a Purple Heart, Bronze Star, Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB), European-AfricanMiddle Eastern (EAME) ribbon with five battle stars, the American Defense Service Medal and American Campaign Medal. Sgt. Black, a Bronze Star with “V” Device recipient, is

being honored for heroism in connection with military operations against a hostile force. While serving as a squad leader with Company C, 4th Battalion, 31st Infantry during a combat operation in Tay Ninh Province, Republic of Vietnam, his squad came under hostile fire on Feb. 28, 1967. Exposing himself to enemy fire on many occasions to direct the squad’s fire, Black noticed one of his men had been bitten by a poisonous snake. Jeopardizing his own safety he ran to the man, killed the snake, administered first aid and carried the man to the rear for evacuation. Both men displayed outstanding courage, heroic action and devotion to fellow soldiers reflecting high honor for both themselves and the traditions of the U.S. Army. According to Black, this recognition is quite an honor considering the attitude the majority of the country had toward Vietnam vets when they returned home. “When I came home

in 1966, we weren’t well thought of. We were all considered crazy and putting your service in Vietnam on a job application probably would even hinder you getting a job,” he stated. “I vowed to never let another group of vets come home and feel that way.” Since then Black has spent countless hours volunteering his time to help all veterans and enjoyed traveling to Washington in 1998 to experience the opening of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. It was there he noticed there were others like him who cared and accepted the vets. “That was a big eye opener for me,” he reminisced. “Until then I really never discussed my experience, but there I realized it was ok to talk about it.” The OMHOF is a nonproﬁt organization established in 2000 to recognize Ohio servicemen and women who were decorated for heroism while in combat situations. More information can be found at ohioheroes.org.

Darke County Fair announces launch of new online features

Banner Bound 4-H Club members set up their fourth annual pinwheel display on the Darke County Courthouse lawn. The purpose is to create awareness of child abuse in Darke County. (Bob Robinson photo)

Annual pinwheel display creates Child Abuse Awareness GREENVILLE - “This is more of a problem than people realize,” said BanLAUREN ner Bound RANDALL 4-H Club adINTERN visor Melanie Stikeleather. “Involving kids in things like this helps make them more aware that not everyone has someone to care about them no matter what.” She watched as Banner Bound 4-H President Skyler Marker handed out pinwheels to the volunteers measuring distances and ‘planting’ them on the Darke County Courthouse lawn April 7. When asked how many would be planted, Marker wasn’t sure. “Not enough,” she said. “If we had enough space to include a pinwheel for every

case out there, we would.” Banner Bound has been involved in the pinwheel event since the club was started four years ago. The club’s focus is agriculture, speciﬁcally raising and showing pigs, but this project was part of its service to the community. Banner Bound has 10 members and nine ‘Clover Buds’, future 4-H’ers currently too young but still willing to learn and get some experience for when they are old enough. She said her father, Matt, started the club as an alternative to other clubs. The club’s motto, “It is what it is,” is derived from the perseverance and dedication of Banner Bound members, and that “no matter what happens, it is what it is and it will be all right.” Marker noted the value of 4-H work in that it “gives

the kids something to focus on, a goal to work toward. It’s good for the kids,” she said. Anyone can join, she added, but they would have to have a place to raise and work with their animals. As Marker provided pinwheels to the eight to 10 volunteers, 2-year-old Pearl had picked up a small pinwheel and was attempting to ‘plant’ it in front. It kept falling down. She kept trying; it kept falling. She cried once in frustration but eventually, with a little help, got her pinwheel planted. “There you go, Pearl. That’s the sort of thing I like to see,” said one onlooker. April is Child Abuse Awareness month. Of more than 1,800 services provided by Darke County Children’s Services, 481 were based on concerns of physical abuse, sexual abuse and neglect.

DARKE COUNTY - The Great Darke County Fair has made several CLINTON RANDALL significant Staff Writer updates and bluebagmedia.com additions to its online promotional platforms recently. In addition to its popular Facebook page with over 8,300 likes, Fair Manager Daryl Riffle has worked to give the fair more online outlets to deliver information in a timely manner. With the help of web developer and social media consultant Clinton Randall, the fair has added Twitter and Instagram accounts to its social media connections for 2015. Then on Monday, April 6, the fair launched its newly renovated website that Randall and Riffle worked to develop in a way that would make all the fair information available at the click of a mouse. “These are all great resources to market not only the fair, but events all year round that happen at the fairgrounds,” Riffle told The Early Bird. “The goal is to share more information about the fair in a modern platform.” According to Riffle, he took over the old fair website when he took the manager role over 10 years ago. In December 2013 Riffle said a new website was suggested which started the negotiations to find the best way to go about getting one created. The Darke County Agricultural Society board approved

a proposal from Clinton Randall of CrownRandall, a design partner of CountyStart Networks to begin the overhaul of the outdated website. As the design phase moved along, it was noticed that the fair did not have an ofﬁcial logo the new site will need. With some customizing and tweaking of a previous concept, the new logo was presented to the board on April 1 and was adopted. With the fair’s new website, visitors can learn about fair events and history, buy tickets, download forms, share photos and much more. The site also features a fair week countdown clock and translation option for nonEnglish speaking visitors. Additionally, Randall has developed a mobile site for the fair which displays for any site visitor using a mobile device. “By having additional ways to connect through the new website and social media avenues, our goal is to reach people we were not able to communicate

with before,” said Rifﬂe. “Staying up-to-date with all the modern technologies is something we are certainly welcoming as a Board and as an entertainment venue. Our goal is to utilize these numerous ways to connect and hopefully see growth in ticket sales.” The Great Darke County Fair will soon add a YouTube channel for video clips from and about the fair and an email newsletter option for people that want fair information and event alerts sent to their email inbox. According to Rifﬂe, there has been a positive reaction to the new website since posting the launch announcement on social media. The site will be updated on a regular basis with additional features and recent news as needed.

er of beer which a passenger, Kory Dusko, said was his. The driver, Courtney Weatherspoon, had an occasional slur as she spoke and had dilated pupils. She agreed to a field sobriety test and did poorly on it. When asked how much she had to drink she said “nothing.” She was arrested for OVI and transported to the Greenville Police Department. A breathalyzer registered .161. Weatherspoon was cited for OVI and left of center. She was placed under Administrative License Suspension. On April 3 police observed a vehicle driven by Kris Canizzaro appear to go through a red light at Russ Road and Wagner Avenue. The officer caught up with the vehicle as it turned south on North Ohio without using a turning signal, then crossing the center line of the roadway. A traffic stop was initiated at which time the officer detected the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage. Canizzaro’s speech was slurred and his eyes bloodshot; when asked for his driver’s license the defendant searched for it while it was clearly in front of him. The defendant then handed the officer a bag with several items in it and said, “it’s all right up in there, bub.” He denied having consumed any alcohol prior to driving. Canizzaro did poorly on the field sobriety test and was arrested for OVI. At the police station, a breathalyzer registered .118. He was issued an Administrative License Suspension. The defendant has four prior OVI convictions in the last 20 years.

coming traffic, including a bus. Police found the defendant traveling west on Russ Road, go left of center into the officer’s lane then swerve back into his lane. The officer stopped the defendant, identified as Joshua Rhoades. The driver said he was coming home from work and was tired; the officer noticed he had pin point pupils and difficulty answering questions. The officer told Rhoades he needed his license, registration and proof of insurance. According to the report Rhoades attempted to give the officer his credit card and had to be told three times about the registration and proof of insurance. The defendant denied taking medication or drinking. He did poorly on the field sobriety test and was arrested for OVI. At the police department Rhoades refused to take a drug test. He was advised his license was suspended and he was being charged with OVI and driving in marked lanes. DRUGS On April 3 police initiated a traffic stop on Savannah Pitsenbarger, who has a suspended driver’s license. Police received permission to search the vehicle from Katrina Cheadle, whose grandmother owns the vehicle. During the search Cheadle adjusted the waistband to her pants and a capsule fell out of her shirt. The officer asked her if she had any more; she retrieved two more capsules from her bra. The capsules appeared to contain a residue. Cheadle also confirmed there was a “rig” in her backpack (a syringe used to administer drugs). She said another individual had put it there. Materials were confiscated. Charges are pending regarding drug possession and drug abuse instruments. On April 5 police conducted a traffic stop for an expired registration violation. At that time the officer detected what he believed to be the strong odor of marijuana. The driver, Tyler Jett, admitted there was marijuana in the center console. He handed the officer a clear bag with a green leafy substance in-

DISORDERLY CONDUCT On April 3 police were dispatched to Buffalo Wild Wings, 1485 Wagner Ave., regarding two disorderly individuals. They had come into the restaurant and sat at a table without waiting to be seated. The table was reserved for another party.

Things are better, but frustration still there BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR www.bluebagmedia.com

GREENVILLE – Some residents in the Central Avenue area of Greenville continue to be frustrated, but they do admit things are getting better. Over the past few years, the area has witnessed its share of drug deals, thefts and ﬁres. Residents fought back and with the help of the Greenville Police Department formed an active Neighborhood Watch. The frustration stems from a rental property on Central Avenue that has reportedly been home to several convicted drug trafﬁckers and drug users. In a meeting with Chief Dennis Butts, Lt. Steve Strick and Detective Jason Marion, all of the Greenville Police Department, members of

the Neighborhood Watch group shared their concerns that the landlord continues to rent to the same type of person and pushed for action to be taken against the owner of the property. Lisa Overbay, a member of the Neighborhood Watch who lives next to the property, admitted it has been quiet in her area since the issue became public at the Greenville City Council meeting on March 17. According to Overbay, in the past few weeks “the trafﬁc has all but completely stopped.” However, she is waiting for the “hammer to drop” and everything to begin again. She has recorded at least 30 license plate numbers of vehicles that have visited that residence, all of which have been turned over to the police

department. While Chief Butts agrees the number of cars visiting is suspicious he pointed out it isn’t necessarily criminal. Overbay also admitted the trash has been cleaned up at the property. She was relieved to learn the Darke County Health Department did an inspection inside the home and didn’t ﬁnd any issues. The police department has had a presence in the area and will continue to be on the lookout for issues, but so far Det. Marion doesn’t believe he has enough evidence to prosecute the landlord. He wants to be absolutely sure the city can win the case if they bring it to the Darke County Prosecutor. Lt. Strick pointed to the statistics for 2014 that

Scavenger Hunt a success despite weather BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR www.bluebagmedia.com

GREENVILLE – “One down and 18 to go!” said Tamera McNulty and Mindy Steyer. They chronicled Michael McMahon’s discovery of the cow (actually it was a horse) at Readmore’s Hallmark. Nineteen items had been set up in local businesses for Main Street Greenville’s April First Friday Scavenger Hunt. It was a drizzling and chilly April 3, forcing cancellation of the scheduled petting zoo, but it didn’t stop the hunters. Within 15 minutes after the scheduled 6 p.m. start, 15 had already shown up. And the traffic didn’t stop. According to Main Street Executive Director Amber Garrett, over 120 people participated in the scavenger hunt. “They had to stop at 10 locations or more (and answer a specific question about the business), then return to Hallmark by 9 p.m. This qualified them for a drawing for a $100 Gift Card from a business of their choice. Sara Strait won this year’s drawing. Hunters also got a prize for finding the items in the stores… The Readmore selection included a splat ball, sunglasses, animal vi-

For the past few years, the stock market has moved up fairly steadily, with no major “corrections.” But thus far in 2015, we’ve already seen periods of volatility — enough, in fact, to make some investors jittery. Nervous investors may be more prone to make decisions based on short-term market movements — so how can you stay calm? First of all, when evaluating your investment decisions, stay focused on those factors that have historically driven stock prices. The U.S. economy is growing at a reasonably good pace, and corporate earnings remain fairly strong. Plus, stocks may not be as undervalued as they were a few years ago — as measured by the price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) — but they still aren’t overly expensive, either. Things can change, of course, but when market volatility seems to be primarily caused by short-term events, such as plunging oil prices, it’s important to look beyond the headlines to these less glamorous, but probably more important, fundamentals of good investing. By doing so, you can help avoid making feardriven investment choices. What else can you do to help ensure that you don’t let feelings of anxiety inﬂuence your investment moves? For one thing, evaluate your investment mix. If you own too many stocks and stock-based vehicles, you could take a big hit if stock prices fall sharply during periods of volatility. Historically, however, bond prices have typically increased when stock prices fell — although, of course, there are no guarantees. So, if your portfolio consists of stocks and bonds, you are better positioned to weather the harshest

effects of market turbulence. To further prepare yourself for downturns, you may also want to diversify your ﬁxed-income holdings to include investments such as U.S. Treasury bills, certiﬁcates of deposit (CDs) and municipal bonds. The percentages of each type of investment within your portfolio should be based on your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. Finally, you can help yourself maintain an even-keeled approach to investing by always looking for quality. Typically, higher quality investments fare better during market declines and recover more quickly when the markets rebound. How can you judge whether a particular investment is of good “quality“? A long-term track record is useful to study. It’s certainly true that, as you have no doubt heard, “past performance is no guarantee of future results,” but it’s nonetheless valuable to know how a particular stock, for example, has performed in various economic environments. If it seems to have done well relative to others in its industry and over long periods of time, that may give you a good idea of its quality. It’s never easy to take all the emotions out of investing, especially during periods of market volatility. After all, you count on your investments to help provide you with the type of future you’ve envisioned. But by focusing on the fundamentals, putting together an appropriate investment mix and constantly looking for quality, you can help “de-stress” yourself — and, as the American poet, novelist and historian J.G. Holland once said, “Calmness is the cradle of power.”

of the registry may be illegal. When asked if there was anything in particular a landlord needed to do to evict a tenant. Chief Butts replied, “All the landlord needs is suspicion.” While some landlords do evict tenants that have been convicted or are suspected of illegal activity, Butts agreed some only want the rent check.

Smiles were in abundance, with the exception of a 9-month-old who was upset over missing his nap time. ‘Eggtastic’ became an ‘eggstravaganza’ due to the combined efforts of Ansonia FFA (The Greenhouse) and Ansonia United Methodist Church, First Church of God and the American Legion.

Marco’s Pizza raises funds for Frye Family BY STACIE WARD www.bluebagmedia.com

GREENVILLE – Marco’s Pizza in Greenville is asking for community support on April 14 as they raise funds to help a local woman who suffered serious injuries as the result of a car accident. On March 20, 30year-old Julia Frye, wife and mother of two, found herself lying in a field screaming for help after being thrown from her vehicle as it flipped numerous times. Thanks to a passerby who stopped to help, she was transported to Miami Valley Hospital where she was treated. Suffering from a pelvis that is broken in three places, a stage two laceration to her liver and a serious knee injury, Frye returned home following surgery and five days in the hospital. Unable to walk and requiring around the clock assistance, home health care is desperately needed while her husband, Lucas Frye, continues to work full time in addition to helping with the children and day to day activities. Despite having medical insurance, the home care assistance is not covered and a 12-16 week recovery period is predicted. With a long road ahead, out of pocket expenses mounting and now just one income, Marco’s Pizza is reaching out to help the family. On Tuesday, 20 percent of every order placed in Frye’s name will be donated back to the family. Call 547-6300 to place

A fundraiser for the Frye Family will be held April 14 at Marco’s Pizza.

Holocaust Remembrance Day

Dear Editor, For approximately 12 years the Nazi’s of Germany carried out their “Final Solution.” Their Master Plan was to extinguish the lives of the Jewish People, who they blamed for Germany losing W.W.I., and for a failing economy. They managed to exterminate over 11 million people, ridding various countries of their Jewish, Gypsy, Jehovah Witness, Homosexual, Mentally, and Physically handicapped population. One thousand one hundred mental patients, including children were the first to die. Many European countries voluntarily handed over their Jewish citizens, some paid the Nazis for taking them. The number of people killed equals the population of the entire state of Ohio or the combined totals of Chicago and New York City. Over a million of the victims were children. Hitler had over 20 thousand concentration camps. Auschwitz Concentration Camp was 19 square miles in size. The Jews and others were rounded up and transported by cattle cars via the German Railroad. Many were crushed inside the cars or suffocated, due to so many people being crammed in. When they would arrive at their destination, if they weren’t already dead, they would be stripped up all their clothes, and belongings. Some would be directed to go to the right and some to the left. Most women, children, and elderly would go together. They would be gassed to death in what appeared to be showers. Told that they were showering for disinfecting, once inside, doors and windows were sealed, gas would then be administered. No one survived. The men were sent to work camps where they were basically worked to death. Companies like Mercedes Benz, Messerschmitt, and BMW benefited from this slave labor. The prisoners’ hair was cut and saved to make thread, felt, or blanket material. When troops liberated the one camp they found bags stuffed with 15,400 pounds of human hair, piles of eyeglasses, and piles of men’s (358,000), women’s (837,000), and children’s clothes. They found 43,000 pairs of shoes at Auschwitz-Birkenau camp. The Nazis kept meticulous records of everything collected. They wasted nothing. They even made soap from the fat of dead humans. Bodies were piled up by the thousands, in the beginning to be buried in mass graves, but later to be burnt in giant ovens, specially designed by the Germans. Burnt flesh filled the air surrounding the camps. In the beginning the Nazis forced the soon to be victims into Ghettos. Stripped of all their property and civil rights, they were forced to live in squalor and poverty behind barbed wire and locked gates. Many starved from lack of food. Later the ghettos were destroyed and the inhabitants murdered either by mass shootings, gas chambers, or other deviant methods of disposal. Nazis would pose as doctors, examining their mouths for dental gold; then marking them for later tooth extractions after death. Refusing food was one of many preferred methods of extermination and torture. Some Jews fled Europe during this time, but most countries denied entry. Some said they had no room, others said they did not want a “racial problem.” Some offered temporary asylum for a few, one said “none was too many.” Only the Dominican Republic offered refuge, but they were overwhelmed, so only a few were helped. The German Government used all resources to annihilate these groups of people. The German churches provided Jews birth records, the Finance Dept. took the Jewish property and wealth, and German Universities researched more efficient ways to experiment and murder. The German Transportation departments paid for the death transports. Even after the camps were liberated 200 to 300 people continued to die per day. So many was suffering from malnutrition, dysentery, and other diseases. Many had been medically experimented on by Nazi doctors, specifically by Dr. Josef Mengele. After the war only 10 percent of Nazis were ever prosecuted. Over 1500 Nazi Scientist were relocated to the United States and employed by the US government. Some were even housed at Dayton, Ohio. Names likes: Von Braun, Debus, Ambros, Schafer, Ruff, and Riedel. Even though these men were in allegiance with known genocidal killers, some who had carried out bizarre medical experiments, and biochemical warfare, the U.S. authorities felt like the scientific benefits outweighed the moral implications. Some Nazi’s committed suicide like Hitler, Goebbels, and Himmler, others immigrated to Argentina and Brazil. A few were hunted by the Israeli Intelligence Agency. It has been 70 years since the liberation of the death camps during WWII. 70 years since the world turned its back and allowed this horrendous injustice to occur. Many holocaust survivors believed the world knew what was happening and failed to act. Many felt like the Allied forces should have bombed the rails which allowed transportation to death camps. April 15, 2015 is Yom HaShoah, know in the U.S. as Holocaust Remembrance Day. Some people think everyone should put this all behind them and forget it ever happened, but to do so would be like saying these people never existed. Some of the children were executed so young that their births had yet to be recorded. Only their ashes among the millions remain. Debbie Morton, Bradford

I have regret, but it’s still awesome Ryan’s World

television I had in my bedroom while I was growing up. Do you remember the school pizzas they used to serve in school? This is bigger. I was due for a new phone and the regular, run-of-the-mill phone wasn’t going to be in my future (unless my wife said I had to get it). I can always tell when she doesn’t want me to do something by the tone of her voice and the look on her face. She was in Washington, DC so I couldn’t see the look on her face and this time I completely ignored the reluctant tone in her voice when I discussed (begged) it with her. I was just hoping not to hear the word “no.” A discussion without her saying “no” meant yes. (Now there’s a revelation! My kids do the same thing to me. Now I see where they get it.) I couldn’t put the phone down after I got it (except when driving because it would be very unsafe and difﬁcult to handle this

monstrous phone while driving). I love everything about it. If it wasn’t in my hand, it was in my youngest daughter’s hand. Both of us had huge grins on our faces from Friday at about 3 p.m. to Saturday at 10:30 p.m. That’s right - Saturday, 10:30 p.m. A day and time I will never forget. It was the exact time my wife and oldest daughter returned from a school trip to the nation’s capital. I expected them to come bouncing through the door with huge smiles on their faces. Instead, I see moping from both of them and hear the words I will never get used to – “We’ve got a problem.” Did my daughter get suspended from school for doing something stupid? Is she ﬁghting with friends? Were my daughter and wife ﬁghting, again? No! It was worse. It was a medical issue. The others would not have caused any regret. A medical issue could

mean big $$$$$$$$ and possibly a touch of regret if it turned out to be costly. A trip to urgent care the next day turned into a trip to Children’s Medical Center, which turned into an overnight stay. The medical issue was easily resolved and everything is back to normal, but we are now anxiously awaiting the ﬁrst bill. As we sat in my daughter’s hospital room I continued to snap pictures, take slo-mo videos and marveled at the quality. I used the health app and was disappointed that it didn’t give me credit for going up four ﬂights of stairs when I took the elevator. My wife, on the other hand, glared at me and my phone and refused to look at any pictures or movies I had taken. If I could have foretold the future I probably would not have purchased the phone. Do I have regret? Yes, but my phone is still pretty darn awesome.

Commissioners Corner

ners, as everyone involved has worked hard to make this truly a partnership. Whirlpool donated two Soda Stream machines to be given away as door prizes, plus they brought some new products to showcase. The winners of the Soda Stream machines were John Keller and Jon McGreevey. Congratulations to both men! In other happenings, Buffalo Wild Wings held its opening on March 30. On the 28th and 29th, they held a V.I.P. opening that was well received by all who attended. We want to welcome this new restaurant to Greenville and Darke County. Our Economic Development ofﬁce continues to work with our companies on their needs. Of course, one of the biggest needs is a capable workforce. Darke County realized this several years ago, and we have made this a major effort. Our Career Pathway coordinator, Ms. Lisa Wendel, is doing a great job working with the schools and businesses in the county on what the

needs in the future will be. This is a major undertaking by Lisa, and she is handling the job extremely well. If you see her, tell her thanks for all the hard work she has put in, trying to make sure our companies have a viable, educated, and skilled workforce for the future. Spring is in the air and new hopes arise with it. We in the Commissioner’s ofﬁce certainly hope for a great year, and hope you will attend one of our meetings in the future. We meet regularly every Monday and Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. in the Administration Building, 520 S. Broadway in Greenville, just south of the Courthouse. Hope to see you there! Submitted by the Darke County Commissioners

by Ryan Berry Managing Editor I ﬁnally got my way! I got what I wanted! I only had to grovel at my wife’s feet for a few minutes, but it was worth it, right? Yes it was! For 31 hours, the euphoria I felt made it well worth the begging, promising to be good and vowing never again to disappoint my wife. What would cause me to bow at my wife’s feet and pledge to honor promises I know I could never keep? Only the biggest, most technologically advanced iPhone ever produced. By no means would I settle for the dinky, ordinary iPhone 6. I had to have the iPhone 6 PLUS (insert heavenly music here). This phone barely ﬁts in one hand and has a screen bigger than the dinky black & white

As this is written the sun is shining, finally, and the temps are in the 50’s for a change. Maybe, just maybe, spring is finally taking hold in Darke County. And none too soon, we might add. Hopefully, the farmers will be able to get in their fields and start the planting season, which is always the sure sign that spring is here. March was a very good month for the county. There have been numerous happenings, and events and we feel this is a good start to the 2015 year. On March 19, Commissioner Stegall was guest speaker at the Darke County Realtors Association luncheon, and was glad to hear the realtors are seeing a good uptick in home sales in the county. This is great news, and with the help of the professionals in Darke County Real Estate, we see good things continue to happen. Thanks for all you do, and for the tremendous help you provide the Darke County Community. On March 6, Fram had a celebration in honor of

being in Greenville since 1951, and to announce their new line being added to produce even more filters. Fram’s goal is over 105 million filters this year. Congratulations to the fine people at FRAM, who make the best filters in the world right here in Greenville. On March 27, the Darke County Economic Development office in conjunction with the C.I.C. held their spring forum. This event drew about 140 investors and guests to hear about some of the tremendous growth we are experiencing here. Guest speakers included, John Staub, the plant manager at Fram, Randy O’Dell from Jafe Decorating, and Ken Hosler, plant manager at Whirlpool. All three gentlemen explained the growth in their businesses, their recent expansions, and the cooperation that has taken place with all involved. It was nice to hear that from our great corporate part-

Stephen Pearcy took the stage at BMI Karts in Versailles to thrill audiences with songs from Ratt and his solo albums. (Rodney Baker photo)

BMI bringing great music BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR www.bluebagmedia.com

VERSAILLES – For the past few years, one of the best places to ﬁnd concerts in Darke County has been at a little known spot in Versailles, BMI Karts. Known for its go-kart parts or indoor speedway, a lot of people are yet to discover the track doubles as a concert venue. Past concerts have featured 80’s hit makers like Dokken, Great White, Molly Hatchet and Stryper. Their most recent concert featured another legendary ﬁgure in Rock n’ Roll, Stephen Pearcy. While his name may not be as well known as the band he fronted, his voice is unmistakable. From its beginnings un-

til 1992 and from 1996 to 2000, Pearcy was the voice of Ratt. They charted with several songs, including “Round and Round,” and “Lay it Down.” On April 4, many of that band’s hits could be heard coming from the stage in Versailles. In addition to Ratt’s hits, Pearcy also played many of the songs from his solo albums, including his recently released “Just One More Time V-1.” BMI Karts has several outstanding events planned for this spring. Slaughter will be appearing on May 8 and Saving Abel will take the stage on June 6. Puddle of Mud is scheduled for June 20. For more information, a complete schedule of events or to purchase tickets, visit www.bmikarts.com.

ANSONIA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to be a physicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistant,â&#x20AC;? Ansonia senior BOB ROBINSON Hannah BarAssociate Editor ga said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I bluebagmedia.com want to get into that program, I need to get as much experience as possible. There are usually 500 applications for the 40 spaces that are available.â&#x20AC;? There are currently two physician assistant programs available in the area: Kettering and University of Dayton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both are options,â&#x20AC;? Hannah said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and they both want you to have healthcare experience.â&#x20AC;? She added they look for approximately 500 hours in a medical ďŹ eld. Hannah is getting her experience at Briarwood Village in Coldwater; but ďŹ rst she had to get her STNA certiďŹ cate. She completed her three-

week course on Nov. 24, then passed the state test. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can work anywhere as an STNA,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really good to have the experience; it was something my parents encouraged me to do.â&#x20AC;? She added a professor had told her many applicants

are book smart, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting into. With some experience, they are better prepared. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stephanie (the STNA instructor) is a great teacher,â&#x20AC;? Hannah said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really liked the hands-on approach, also the clinicals we had.â&#x20AC;? Clinicals, she explained, were when they would go to a nursing home and work for two days while still in the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really helped me with the state test.â&#x20AC;? The Ansonia senior said the certiďŹ cate, and the experience it gave her, will help her get into the PA program; it will also be helpful in getting â&#x20AC;&#x153;that ďŹ rst job.â&#x20AC;? She hopes to work in either surgery or family practice. Hannah thought originally she wanted to be a physician, but decided six years of education (for a PA) was more realistic than 10 years. Her interest stems from dealing

with diabetes since being diagnosed as a Type 1 Diabetic in the third grade. Hannah works eight to 13 hours a week at Briarwood and six hours a week as lifeguard at Versailles YMCA. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in competition for Salutatorian at Ansonia High School (3.99 GPA, no weighted courses). Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also taking a General Education course at Edison Community College and plans to get her bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in Biology Pre-Med at Wright State University, Dayton. Noting she can handle the workload â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and still get enough sleep â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to â&#x20AC;&#x153;do whatever you set your mind toâ&#x20AC;Ś thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing.â&#x20AC;? A lot of people have more potential than they allow themselves, she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dad says set high goals that scare youâ&#x20AC;Ś otherwise they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t high enough.â&#x20AC;?

The 3 Musketeers, biggest â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ďŹ&#x201A;ashâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience in years GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Welcome to chaos!â&#x20AC;? said Greenville High BOB ROBINSON School TheAssociate Editor atre Combluebagmedia.com pany advisor and director Tom Nader. It was dress rehearsal time for their production of The Three Musketeers. The play opened the next night, April 3, at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What kind of idiot would attempt this,â&#x20AC;? he quipped, thenâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh. That was me!â&#x20AC;? He grinned. The following Monday, Nader and his cast were â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tearing downâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the set following what he deemed a successful weekend. He was pleased with the students and their performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It went well,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had an enthusiastic audience that seemed to enjoy the Three Musketeer experience.â&#x20AC;? During rehearsal Nader commented â&#x20AC;&#x153;there are moments when I feel

like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in professional theater, then moments when I feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in junior high.â&#x20AC;? It was all professional by show time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a high school cast and crew that entered into the area of a medium sized regional theater,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do great,â&#x20AC;? he said Thursday. And they did. The production had 72 scenes in 25 separate locations with 52 physical scene changes, Nader had said. Sixteen students, plus the director, played 26 separate characters. They used 15 swords, muskets and pistolsâ&#x20AC;Ś 15 hats had to be manufactured, along with a complete Catholic Cardinal costume. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; costumes had to be made,â&#x20AC;? he noted. The curtains used in one scene were going to be thrown away by a regional theater that had just done the playâ&#x20AC;Ś they were given to the high school troupe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We even had an art-

ist (Zoe Hans) do a real portrait of the actor king (Elijah Harris)!â&#x20AC;? He added Ro-Da-O Farm made one of its carriages available for the production. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing everything I can to expose them (the students) to as many different elements of theater as possible.â&#x20AC;? Nader, who brings 21 years of experience from Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, was especially pleased about one inci-

dent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Something wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come to me. They solved the problem themselves.â&#x20AC;? About 200 people saw The Three Musketeers over the weekend. According to Nader, they saw â&#x20AC;&#x153;the biggest â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ďŹ&#x201A;ashâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in-depth experience in years.â&#x20AC;? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conďŹ dent in the future, and believes they are building the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;notorietyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for the program again.

Key Club preps for annual Box City GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Greenville High School Key Club will be wrapping BOB ROBINSON up its major Associate Editor event of the bluebagmedia.com year, Box City, on April 18. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have about 150 boxes so far,â&#x20AC;? said Key Club President Krutant Mehta; thanks goes primarily to Hansbargers, Lowes and Hibbets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Key Club members will be able to purchase them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; using canned food and clothing as currency â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to build their â&#x20AC;&#x153;dwellingsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;citiesâ&#x20AC;? for the evening. The annual event typically starts about 6 p.m. and wraps up about 8 the following morning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The purpose is to create awareness to the plight of the homeless,â&#x20AC;? Mehta said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;as well as

help those in need with donations.â&#x20AC;? Greenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grace Church will receive the food; St. Vincent DePaul, Dayton, will get the clothing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;St. Vincent will also provide our speaker for the evening,â&#x20AC;? he added. Box City has been a GHS sponsored event, started by the Key Club, for ďŹ ve years, often bringing in members from other clubs in the district. Sixteen to 25 students will form â&#x20AC;&#x153;tribesâ&#x20AC;? and build their â&#x20AC;&#x153;citiesâ&#x20AC;? out of boxes. They will hear from a speaker about homelessness, but also get to enjoy games, pizza and a movie throughout the evening. Key Club is involved in nearly a dozen community service activities throughout the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We volunteer a lot,â&#x20AC;? said Mehta, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but we have fun doing it.â&#x20AC;? Overall, the

clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 23 members have performed 250 to 300 hours of community service this school year. Key Club is sponsored by Kiwanis of Greenville, and is part of Key Club International, the largest student-led community

service organization in the world. Mehtaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal for next year? To have a strong recruiting effort reaching all grade levels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parents,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Talk to your kids about Key Clubâ&#x20AC;Ś itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great, fun program!â&#x20AC;?

Subler is the son of Tammy and Jeremy Morrison and plans to continue his education studying Swine Science while staying in the Agricultural Department at Wilmington. “It feels great to continue the football experience at the next level,” said Subler. “I felt comfortable going there on the visits and just feel like I can do a lot for them and help the program.” Subler was named Honorable Mention All-Ohio, First Team All-Cross County Conference and First Team All-Southwest District his

senior year playing football for the Ansonia Tigers. “He certainly has the ability,” said Ansonia football coach Eugene Hoening. “I wish him all the success. It’s another level of competition he will have to rise up to.” “He is one of those kids that if you asked him to run through the wall he would run through a wall,” added Hoening. Hoening is conﬁdent Subler’s competitiveness and desire will help him transition from high school to college football. The Wilmington College football team is coming off an 0-10 season and Subler looks forward to the challenge of helping the Fightin’ Quakers rebuild its football program. “I know they are in a rebuilding process,” said Subler. “It will be nice to rebuild with them and see what we can do in the next four years.”

DARKE COUNTYNamed the fastest growing sport in the United States, soccer in Darke County needed a boost for those who were serious about pursuing the sport at the collegiate and semi-professional level. Summit Soccer Academy, introduced in 2013 by 20 year veteran coach Mark Coppess, was the answer. “As I was watching a tournament game of U16 boys, I saw players with poor fundamentals, coaches and teammates relying on a few good players to be successful, and players nervous or not conﬁdent with their skills with the ball so in return they didn’t want the ball in certain situations,” he said. He also observed serious athletes losing interest or leaving the county in search of more. Taking action, he created the perfect opportunity for local parents looking for a program to take their young soccer players to the next level. “We have rec and select soccer around here, but there was no real avenue for kids that want more; those who want to train to play in college and semiprofessionally and to take the sport wherever they want to,” said Amy Maitlen, mother of 11-year-old

Xavier Maitlen. “As a mom I can’t just drive my son to Columbus or Cincinnati to get what he needs. I just can’t. There is talent here in Darke County and surrounding areas, but there was just nowhere for them to go to get to the next level. That’s what Mark has brought to us.” Coppess’ oldest son, Cody, spent three months in Italy last year at the Genova International School of Soccer and will travel to Spain this summer to once again put his soccer skills to use while also experiencing what many never do in their lifetime. “We are working to offer many kids what my son has had the opportunity

tions. I open up pathways for those wanting to play in college and possibly make it a career.” Coppess works hard to keep costs down for families and thanks to current sponsors, has been successful. Winter program training takes place at The Academy in Greenville, but talks are taking place to work toward building their own indoor facility, with donors and sponsors currently jumping on board. For additional information on Summit Soccer Academy, visit their website at summitsocceracademy.com which includes a Facebook link, or contact Coppess via email at mark@summitsocceracademy.com.

Greenville baseball opens GWOC North play against Troy BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER www.bluebagmedia.com

TROY – It took just the first-inning to decide the outcome of the varsity baseball game between the Green Wave and the Troy Trojans in a raindelayed game. “We played an outstanding game today,” said Greenville Coach Eric Blumenstock. “I’m pleased with what we did.” Greenville used the top of the first inning to take a 1-0 lead with a Brandon Beyke single to left scoring Quinton Wood. Troy took a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the inning that would hold up for the final score with an Alec Demore sacrifice fly and a two-run triple off the bat of Collin Moeller. Dylan Shumaker pitched a complete game, striking out six Trojans while allowing three earned runs on five hits and two walks. “Shumaker threw a heck-of-a-ballgame again,” Blumenstock said. “First inning we

to do,” said Coppess. “We want to offer missions trips where they take cleats, soccer balls and shin guards to children in some of the countries that don’t have those things. We want to see them travel Europe and be able to play their sport and learn different cultures. We have that connection now because of Cody.” Focused heavily on helping his athletes prepare for their future, Coppess also helps them make connections with colleges and assists with the entire recruiting process. “The college recruiting process can be a difﬁcult, tricky thing,” he added. “I direct the athletes and help them make those connec-

Blumenstock. “A couple curve balls - they got a couple hits in the ﬁrst inning, got three runs and went up 3-1 and we held them the rest of the way out.” Trenton Wood earned the win for Troy tossing a two-hitter, striking out 14 and walking one in six-innings of work. “Troy is a good ball club,” said Blumenstock. “They have ten seniors. They are an experienced club. Wood (Troy pitcher) threw a real nice game. 14-strikoutes. He throws real hard. He is a really good ballplayer.” Jacob Hounshell accounted for the Wave’s second hit of the game. “With having a young team, it’s unfortunate we have Troy and Butler right

away - big games but you never know what is going to happen,” Blumenstock said. “We’ll work on splitting with Troy tomorrow. “It’s going to be a battle. I’m looking forward to tomorrow.” Rain forced the Tuesday baseball game between Troy and Greenville to be moved to a 5:00 PM Wednesday start time with the teams getting in three complete innings before lighting and rain forced the teams off the ﬁeld with the game scoreless. Rain again canceled the continuation of the game on Thursday night. Log on to bluebagmedia.com to see results from any make-up games and photos throughout the season.

Bradford teams hold parking lot practice as weather looms BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER www.bluebagmedia.com

BRADFORD – With the skies darkening to the West, the Bradford softball and baseball teams spent their late afternoon practicing on the school’s blacktop parking lot Wednesday in place of playing scheduled home softball and baseball games against Twin Valley South. “All this rain – it’s destroying us,” said Bradford JV softball coach Fawn King. “We want to get our season back. We want to get out there and play.” With the infields and outfields saturated with many areas of the field showing standing water, the games were postponed as the teams were unable to take the fields. “Our field is soaked right now,” said Bradford varsity baseball coach Shane Snyder. “We even have standing water on our outfield which usually doesn’t happen that much, so we will be off of it for at least another two days.” Keeping the ballplayers focused, motivated and

game ready is a priority for both the girls and boys coaching staffs. “Right now it’s just keeping the boys interested, motivated and positive about having a great practice,” said Snyder. “We can’t settle to have just average practice right now. All the teams are in the same boat not being able to get outside. Where it hurts us – we’re young. We need all the experience on the ﬁeld that we can get.” “Just keep getting them out to practice,” said King. “Keep getting them outside when we can. They have been doing it themselves and they are ready to play. The girls want play, so anything including blacktop will work.” Practice on rain-soaked blacktop has many unique characteristics of its own with very few if any positives. “Practicing on blacktop is a huge difference,” said Bradford varsity baseball coach Shane Snyder. “Just the way the ball comes off of it. It’s a lot faster. They have to react a lot faster, they are not used to the way the ball bounces on it and

Bradford baseball team practices on parking lot Wednesday (Gaylen Blosser photo) then you add water on top of that. It’s just another obstacle.” “Can’t wear spikes, can’t even slide. It all falls back to – we need the experience right now and we need to be on the ﬁeld as much as possible.” “Injuries – you have to be smart about what you do,” continued Snyder. “You can’t go full speed like you would like to which in lies another obstacle. “You have do with what you have and do the best with what you have.”

“It’s not game experience,” added Snyder. “That’s the hard part and sometimes it’s a challenge – it’s working out so far.” Snyder stated rescheduling league games are a top priority while the nonleague games will be “tough to get in.” “Make up games will be on the athletic website and the school will be sending out emails,” said Snyder. “They will do one calls so everybody should know ahead of time of the rescheduled dates and times.”

Alli Hill connects for the Lady Wave in 9-3 GWOC win over the Troy Trojans. (Gaylen Blosser photo)

Lady Wave Softball starts strong in conference opener BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER www.bluebagmedia.com

TROY – The Greenville varsity girls softball team moved to 4-1 on the season with a 9-3 win over the Troy Lady Trojans on a rainy night in Troy. “A lot of towels, extra socks and some jackets for the kids,” said Greenville coach Jerrod Newland. “Hopefully we are prepared for this and later in the year, experiences like that will come in beneficial for our journey to Akron.” The Lady Wave pounded out eight hits on the night while putting nine runs on the board. “A lot of different kids hitting the ball – putting it in play,” Newland said. “It got a little sloppy there at the end. That is why there is seven innings – 21-outs. Good teams like Troy take advantage of it.” With the teams scoreless after three complete innings of play, the girls from Greenville used two Ally Russell fourth-inning RBIs, an Allison Minnich RBI by way of a sacrifice and Makayla Haines drilling a double to plate a run. Both teams put zeros up in the fifth inning before the Lady Wave bats came alive for their second fourrun inning of the night to lead 8-0 after six complete.

A Hanes double knocked in a run, Cassie Cromwell sent two runs home and the fourth RBI of the inning coming off the bat of Minnich. A Kennah Ellis seventhinning RBI had the Wave up 9-0 before the Lady Trojans put three runs on the board in the bottom of the seventh for a ﬁnal Green Wave road 9-3 win. “Only scored in three innings,” said Newland. “Troy is a Division I team and did fairly well. “Obviously they (Troy) will be ready to play because they are playing for their life tomorrow in the league,” stated Newland. “They would love to split with us to move on.” “They are an experienced team,” added Newland. “They have kids (eight seniors) that have played a couple of years. There’s no substitute for experience. I’ll take our young individuals vs. a lot of people and we are going to keep getting better. Tomorrow is their (Troy) super bowl and hopefully we will be ready to play.” The teams were rained out in a re-match in Greenville Wednesday during the sixth inning of a 1-1 tied ball game.
