GREENVILLE – Plans have been submitted and Greenville Planning & Zoning Commission is currently examining plans for a new restaurant in the city. This time it’s not pizza. Hardee’s has submitted plans to return to the Treaty City, but this time, if plans are approved, the restaurant famous for their Thickburgers® and sausage gravy and biscuits, will be heading north. Plans show the restaurant being built on the frontage of the Rural King property at the corner of Wagner Avenue and Russ Road. The 2,650 squarefoot restaurant would be surrounded by Rural King to the east, Farmers State Bank to the south and Greenville Federal and McDonald’s across the street
and to the west and north of proposed restaurant. Second National Bank sits on the northwest corner of the intersection. The preliminary plans would also give the city additional right-of-way property at the corner of Russ and Wagner. Curt Garrison, safety service director for the city, pointed out at the May 1 meeting of Greenville City Council, the additional right-of-way would allow the city to redesign the corner and help prevent trucks from cutting the curb when turning east on Russ Road. The preliminary plans also show two additional exit right-of-ways, one on Wagner Avenue and another on Russ Road. Hardee’s first opened in 1960 and has undergone several transformations in its 58-year existence. In the 1980s, Hardee’s acquired Burger Chef. The brand is currently operated by CKE Restaurants of California.
DC Jail meth contamination may be a first for Ohio SUSAN HARTLEY
STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com
DARKE COUNTY – County commissioners gave a brief update Monday concerning the methamphetamine clean up at the county jail. According to Matt Aultman, air ducts were being replaced this week, with the jail’s re-opening to take place late this week or early next week. The jail became contaminated April 17, when the Darke County Sheriff’s Office was processing parole violator Stephan A. Garner Jr. of Ansonia. Garner had several baggies of meth on his person and threw one at staff, contaminating the air flow in the jail. At the time of the incident, as well as the following day, several jail employees became ill. Commissioners learned late last week that the county jail being contaminated in this manner is a first for the state of Ohio, according to the county’s insurance provider, County Risk Sharing Authority – CORSA, said commissioner Mike Rhoades. Commission is waiting to hear if CORSA will
cover any of the costs associated with the jail clean up, since this is a “first,” Rhoades said. Last week, commission approved an emergency resolution granting $75,142 for clean up. That amount has increased, Aultman and Rhoades said Monday, with the total costs not yet finalized. Also, fees paid to both Miami County and Mercer County jails for housing Darke County inmates is not covered by insurance, Rhoades confirmed Monday. The cost to house an inmate is approximately $60 per day. Darke County typically has 30-34 inmates daily. In other business Monday: * Commission passed a resolution allowing Key Funding to apply for an Ohio Department of Transportation Aviation Grant to use for the removal of trees on the east end of the runway. The project is estimated to cost $2,500. * Approved a resolution annexing 11.052 acres of Harrison Township into the village of New Madison.
UNION CITY, Ind. News about another school shooting has become a more frequent occurrence than ever before in today’s society. Like most high schools around the country, Union City High School is searching for ways to educate its students and staff with tools to not only handle a crisis situation, but how to avoid one from ever occurring. On Tuesday, UCHS welcomed youth advocate and nationally accredited author, Phil Chalmers, who gave a valuable insight into why some teens become killers. With years of researching and interviewing hundreds of school shooters and serial killers, Chalmers’ experience has helped him author two well-respected books - True Lies and Inside the Mind of a Teen Killer. His expertise on this unfortunate issue plaguing our nation has also allowed him to reach television audiences across the country through shows like A&E’s Killer Kids
and Crime Watch Daily with Chris Hansen. After learning about his interactive approach to school safety issues, Union City Police Chief Cobie Wells was instrumental in bringing Chalmers to the school. “The Union City Emergency Services has always tried to find new innovative ways to train staff and stay connected with the community. Our local schools are of the utmost importance in maintaining a safe community. Educating students and staff on up-to-date issues is one of those goals,” Chief Wells told The Early Bird. Not only can bullying ultimately lead to a homicidal/suicidal teenager carrying a weapon into school, Chalmers educated the Union City students about drugs, sex, social media and even how today’s music and entertainment impacts their generation. “Be a role model to your younger siblings, because they look up to you,” Chalmers told the students. “Tell someone, anyone if something happens to you...just don’t try to bury it inside,

because it will only make things worse.” In addition, he gave helpful tips on how to avoid abduction and human trafficking by “making a scene” and never leaving willingly with an armed abductor no matter how scared you may be. After concluding his presentation to the students, Chalmers met with school faculty and administrators to discuss and educate on the warning signs and what to do if faced with an active shooter. “Having Phil Chalmers in to speak was a great experience for our students and staff,” said UC Principal Aaron Black. “He gave a lot of valuable advice and
information that I hope promotes a positive change in our building moving forward.” Growing up in Cleveland, Chalmers briefly gave the UC students a snapshot of his childhood and being part of a very poor family with an abusive, alcoholic father. He left home at the age of 17 before going to college and becoming the youth culture expert and teen advocate he is today. “Everyone has a story... and no matter what you have been through in your life, you are just as valuable as everyone else,” he concluded.

New fire code will force fair to move trailers RYAN BERRY
MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – Aaron Ward and Brian Wilson, of the Greenville Township Fire Association, addressed the Darke County Fair Board to share concerns in the new State Fire Marshal’s Fire Code adopted in December that will directly affect the Darke County Fair. The changes could mean fewer vendors and a loss of revenue for the fair. Wilson, Greenville Twp. Fire Association Fire Marshal, shared the new directives addressing the distance between food trailers and food trailers and structures, as well as requiring CO monitors if the conces-
sionaire has gas appliances. The Ohio Fair Managers Association (OFMA) has lobbied the State Fire Marshal to get some changes to the code, but the variance wasn’t enough to put the local fair in the clear. Originally, the fire marshal wanted 10-feet between mobile food units and 10feet between mobile food units and structures. Tents are included in the definition of structures. After discussion with the OFMA, the state fire marshal dropped the 10-foot requirement between food trailers to 3-feet. “They are not giving any leeway on trailer to building or trailer to tent. It’s still going to be 10-feet,” said Wilson. The new rules apply to any mobile food unit that
uses gas or electric appliances. Wilson pointed to some of the concessionaries that are located along the Coliseum pointing out they will be affected most by the new rules, but there are others such as a kettle corn vendor that operates under a tent and some of the concessionaires with seating areas under tents that will need to abide by the new rules. Ward, Greenville Township Fire Assoc. Chief, said, “We already realize the spaces for this year are already sold, so we’re going to kinda do a …We are not going to look the other way, but we’re just going to say, ‘Hey, here’s the ones that are not in compliance. Next year please make those in
compliance.’ We can live with that.” Wilson added, “The way I feel is we’re on site so, we got to make an effort to try to do something in the future. If the fire marshal comes in here, he can say, ‘move those trailers.’” In other business, the fair board agreed to a contract with the Darke County Sheriff’s Patrol for security during the fair. There was discussion to limit police cruisers to less than three at gate four, but the amendment failed on a 5-5 vote. The motion to approve the three-year contract passed 6-4 with Brian Rismiller, Dave Niley, Richard Delk, Ed Erisman, Jim Zumbrink, and Dean Neff voting in favor.
Several honored as 2018 Teacher of the Year candidates DARKE COUNTY – The Darke County Educational Service Center and the Darke County Retired Teachers Association honored nine educators during Wednesday’s 2018 Teacher of the Year Luncheon. Eight of the nine honorees are PreK-6th grade teachers from the county’s school districts, with another being honored as the Michael C. Crawford Mentor of the Year for 2018. According to Darke County ESC Superintendent Mike Gray, each of the county’s individual school district administrations and teaching staffs selected their candidate for teacher of the year
to be considered for the ESC’s award. Last year, teachers from grades 7-12 were honored, Gray said, with this year’s selections coming from the elementary grade levels. Greenville City School’s intervention specialist Libby Langston received the Mentor of the Year Award with the following teachers being recognized as their district candidates for the 2018 Darke County Teacher of the Year: * Stacy Lee, Ansonia * Andrea Painting, Arcanum- Butler * Tina Schmitz, Bradford * Teresa Hartzell, Franklin Monroe

POLICE BEAT Charges pending for man who OD’d, revived with NARCAN PAGE 2 May 6, 2018-The Early Bird, www.bluebagmedia.com
OVERDOSE On April 29 ofďŹ cers were dispatched to the 400 block of Wayne Avenue in reference to a possible drug overdose. OfďŹ cers were met by the complainant who pointed to the kitchen and said the victim, James Clay-Wright was unresponsive lying on the oor. ClayWright was starting to turn purple but was breathing with snoring respirations. Greenville Township Rescue arrived and administered NARCAN. When
Clay-Wright came to, he became combative with rescue personnel. Eventually he settled down and agreed to be transported to Wayne Healthcare for treatment. Before leaving, rescue personnel asked if he had a change of clothes because he had urinated in his pants. When Clay-Wright started to change clothes he said he had some dope on him. Clay-Wright reached into his shorts pocket and pulled out a metal container and syringe. Inside the

container was a substantial amount of a white crystal substance Clay-Wright said was meth. Clay-Wright had multiple track marks on his arms indicative of intravenous drug use. The metal container and syringe were transported to GPD and placed into property for evidence. The contents of the container were sent to BCI for analysis. Once police receive the results, they will follow up with the prosecutor’s ofďŹ ce for felony possession charges. DRUG ABUSE On April 29 ofďŹ cers were dispatched to Family Dollar on Martin Street on the report of a trespassing complaint. An employee told the ofďŹ cer that William Bush was in the bathroom and had been in there for 15-20 minutes. The employee said she saw Bush conceal items in his pockets. The ofďŹ cer went to check and found Bush walking out of the bathroom. The ofďŹ cer advised him why he was there and Bush got very agitated and said he knew all the employees and they wouldn’t say that. The ofďŹ cer walked Bush to the front of the store and conďŹ rmed with employees to make sure he was speaking to the correct person. Another ofďŹ cer arrived on scene to assist. Bush was advised that ofďŹ cers were going to pat him down for weapons and also to see if he had stolen merchandise. He quickly turned around and told ofďŹ cers ‘no.’ An ofďŹ cer asked him to turn back around and Bush became even more agitated. He starting yelling obscenities so ofďŹ cers detained him for safety and explained he was not under arrest, just detained because of his actions. Upon checking Bush, ofďŹ cers located several items that belonged to the Family Dollar. Bush said the items were all his and that he came in with the items. OfďŹ cers also located a soap container in his front left pocket, which contained a glass pipe with burnt white residue inside, two Subox-
one strips, two unknown white pills and a small clear baggy containing a white crystal substance. Bush was issued a misdemeanor citation for drug abuse instrument, trespassed from Family Dollar and released. The merchandise was returned to Family Dollar employees. All illicit items were transported to GPD and placed into property. DUI On April 27 an ofďŹ cer was dispatched to Walmart after receiving a report about a non-injury accident involving a possibly intoxicated driver. Upon arrival, the ofďŹ cer observed a pickup truck in the grassy area between Walmart and the Shell station. It appeared the driver drove over the parking blocks into an embankment that separates the two lots. A Shell employee told the ofďŹ cer the driver was inside the station and he smelled like alcohol. The ofďŹ cer made contact with the driver, Terry Deaton. While speaking with Deaton, the ofďŹ cer observed him put a breath mint in his mouth, but the ofďŹ cer could still smell a strong odor of alcohol. At ďŹ rst Deaton said he had not been drinking, but changed his story and said he had a few drinks at the bar with dinner. When asked how the truck got stuck between the parking lots, Deaton said he thought the lots were connected and when he pulled in, the next thing he knew he was stuck. The ofďŹ cer ran Deaton’s Ohio ID card through LEADS/NCIC and discovered his driver’s license was not valid due to a failure to reinstate from a previous OVI charge in 2004. Deaton declined to perform ďŹ eld sobriety tests, stating several times it didn’t matter about the tests. Deaton also complained several times that the lights blinded him and that’s why he crashed. Deaton was placed under arrest for OVI. During the investigation, the ofďŹ cer observed several pieces of 2x6 planks had broken through

the back window and struck Deaton in the back of the head. A squad was called to the scene to check Deaton and he went to Wayne HealthCare for treatment. Deaton declined to provide a chemical test and refused further treatment at the hospital. Deaton was discharged from the hospital and was transported to GPD, where he was placed under an ALS for his refusal to take the tests, issued a citation for OVI and failure to reinstate. Deaton was released to his brother. The truck Deaton was driving was registered to Coates Concrete from West Milton. The truck was towed from the scene. WANTED PERSON On April 25 an ofďŹ cer at the Greenville Police Department spoke with Jason Garrett who came to the station to turn himself in on an outstanding warrant. The ofďŹ cer conďŹ rmed Garrett had an active bench warrant for failure to appear on the original charge of driving under suspension. Garrett was arrested and transported to Mercer County Jail. Bond was set at $2,025. On April 27 an ofďŹ cer responded to Kathy’s Restaurant, 416 Martin St. on the report of a suspect being there who had an active warrant. The suspect, Donald Ballard was located inside the restaurant. Ballard was advised he had a felony warrant out of Darke County for rape and gross sexual imposition. He was placed in handcuffs and was transported to the Darke County Jail, where he was released to corrections ofďŹ cers with no bond. On April 28 an ofďŹ cer patrolling the 1200 block of Sweitzer Street observed a vehicle traveling south bound, being driven by its registered owner, Brittany Hiatt, who had an active warrant through the Darke County Sheriff’s ofďŹ ce. The ofďŹ cer conducted a trafďŹ c stop and found Hiatt’s expired on Feb. 23. Dispatch conďŹ rmed the active warrant through LEADS/ NCIC. Hiatt was arrested and transported to the Darke County Sheriff’s ofďŹ ce where she was released to a deputy. The original charge was possession of drugs with a $1,525 bond. Hiatt also was cited for the expired license. On April 29 an ofďŹ cer conducted a trafďŹ c stop in the 200 block of Green Street and discovered the operator of the vehicle, Kayla York had an active GPD arrest warrant for failure to comply with court ordered rehabilitation. York was placed under arrest, searched and transported to the Miami County Jail

where she was incarcerated on her warrant and held with no bond. The vehicle was legally parked on Green Street and the registered owner was notiďŹ ed of its location. VANDALISM On April 27 an ofďŹ cer was dispatched to Walmart on Wagner Avenue on the report of vandalism to a vehicle. The ofďŹ cer found a van with the passenger side mirror broken off and lying in the parking lot beside the victim’s vehicle. The ofďŹ cer made contact with the victim who said while he was inside Walmart checking out he heard a man say “do you have a staring problem?â€? The victim said he didn’t look up because he didn’t think that it concerned him. The victim said he heard the man repeat the statement, so he looked up to see a man looking at him. The victim continued checking and ignored the man. The victim then went to his vehicle and was sitting inside the van when the male subject approached. The victim said he attempted to speak with the subject, asking him to walk to the driver’s side of the vehicle so he could ask what he was talking about. The victim said the man then ripped the passenger side mirror off his vehicle, looked at him through the window and pointed, and threw the mirror at the passenger side window. The mirror landed in the parking lot and shattered into several pieces. After destroying the vehicle’s mirror, the subject walked to his vehicle and left the scene. The victim told the ofďŹ cer a woman parked one row over from him witnessed the incident and wrote down the subject’s license plate number. The ofďŹ cer checked the plate through LEADS/NCIC and the vehicle matched the description given by the witness and the victim. The registered owner also matched the description of the suspect. The individual was identiďŹ ed as Ian Johnson, who called the police department a short time later to speak to an ofďŹ cer. Johnson told ofďŹ cers the victim had assaulted his girlfriend when she was younger, and that the victim was staring at them in Walmart to intimidate them. Johnson admitted he lost his temper. Johnson also admitted he broke the mirror off the victim’s vehicle and threw it down. Johnson was issued a misdemeanor citation for criminal damaging.

BeneďŹ t focused on things Lachat loved BY LINDA MOODY CORRESPONDENT lmoody@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – Deirdre “Didiâ€? Howell wanted to do something for her only sibling, Nicole Lachat, who died March 7, 2017, at the age of 31. That mission was accomplished on April 28 with a beneďŹ t in Nicole’s honor at the All Season’s Place on the Lighthouse Christian Center complex. Proceeds from the beneďŹ t will go to Final Dance Studio at 107 W. Main St., Greenville, for Artistic Variations and Kendall’s Music Crew. “I heard about the dance studio after my sister passed,â€? Howell said. “She loved dancing. She loved the arts. This is something my sister would have loved. Final Bow is a non-proďŹ t organization offering free performing arts classes for children and adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD). This is such a great opportunity for these individuals to interact more with their peers and to perform in the community.â€? According to Howell, her sister was born with Cerebral Palsy. “She knew how to live life to the fullest and loved people,â€? Howell said. “She couldn’t stay at home. The word ‘can’t’ didn’t exist for her. She wanted to experience what life had to offer.â€? Howell had a lot of help
planning the event. She contacted Art Sense workshop out of Union City and they came up with decorating ideas and incorporated Nicole’s favorite color, purple, in the color scheme. “I’ve been planning the beneďŹ t for three months,â€? said Howell The evening featured numerous rafes, vendors and entertainment by Howell and the Artistic Variations of Final Bow, managed by Hillary Holzapfel, who performed a dance with her students. Howell sang and played guitar to her own song, “Buttery,â€? as well as “My Heart Will Go On,â€? the song in the movie Titanic, which Nicole loved and Howell dedicated to Nicole’s friend Brett. She also sang “Forever Youngâ€? and “A Thousand Years,â€? as well as danced one dance. Among those in attendance were the parents, Chris and Barbara (Berger) Lachat; Howell’s husband Mark and their children Inara and Jonathan; and her special friend, Brett Brinley of Greenville. The Lachat family continues to support people with I/DD. Nicole, a 2006 graduate of Greenville High School, was employed by PCS in Greenville since 2006. Howell is hoping this will become an annual event. “I’d love to add more groups and try to reach

Greenville High School annual event entertains local senior citizens BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – Area senior citizens were once again entertained by Greenville High School’s students during Tuesday’s annual Senior Citizen Luncheon, sponsored by the student council. “It’s a great event,” said senior Will Coomer, who serves as student council vice president and chair of the Senior Citizen Luncheon. “It brings the senior citizens together and shows what GHS has to offer.” The morning kicked off with a presentation by the NJROTC and was followed by musical selections from the GHS Preschool under the direction of the Career Tech Center’s Careers With Children director Amy Schoen. “They get so excited to perform,” Schoen said of the 16 3-5 year-old preschoolers who took to the stage to sing a “hello” song, as well as songs about the days of the week, the Monthly Macarena song and a weather song. Also providing musical entertainment were the Wavaires, the Jazz Scene and the high school orchestra.

Again this year, Brookdale Assisted Living provided the luncheon, which consisted of sausage penne, salad, breadsticks and cookies. Student council members assisted with serving lunch. Adviser Jessica Shaffer said the student council “is learning to be studentleaders” by helping to plan and work at the luncheon. “We want to continue this event and make it even better,” said Shaffer, who was selected as student council adviser this past January and also works as a para professional in the high school’s inclusion classrooms. “Being involved in the community

is very rewarding” for the student-leaders, Shaffer said. “I think it’s great,” Joan Hesson of Greenville said of her first GHS Senior Citizen Luncheon. Also attending the luncheon for their first time were former GHS employees Jerry and Nancy Rismiller, also of Greenville.

Our Duty Before God to Vote It is our American and Christian duty before God and man to vote. We are in a cultural war of conicting worldviews – secularism vs. Christianity – and at stake is the heart and soul of America. The secular view pushes for more government control of education, transgender restrooms, the diminished inuence of religion in the public arena, the promotion of abortion, the elimination of our God-given right to defend ourselves and loved ones, etc. The Christian worldview holds to a limited government under God’s standards for marriage, family, sexuality, and it protects the life, liberty and property of all Americans through equal justice, not social justice. Our loss of these standards can be traced, not to the enemies of liberty, but to Christians who have allowed this takeover, due to their lack of involvement in civil government. The Church has been charged to train its people
for ministry in every area of life, including politics and voting with wisdom and discernment. The people we elect will make decisions that will affect our lives and our families for years. These ofďŹ cials will take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Do we, as American citizens, know enough about the Constitution to choose candidates who will uphold its standards? In Exodus 18:21 we ďŹ nd instructions on how to choose civic rulers, speciďŹ cally judges. The qualiďŹ cations were Godfearing men of truth who hate covetousness. This conďŹ rms that the church is to be training its members how to vote on principle and with discernment. The goal is to elect people to public ofďŹ ce who will govern wisely, according to God’s standards, that we might receive the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity.

Seniors homer on senior night in Lady Wave run-rule win over Sidney GAYLEN BLOSSER
SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – Greenville earned its 20th win of the season for the 16th consecutive year on a night the Lady Wave honored two seniors; Cassie Cromwell and Sydney Grote prior to the game. “Hats off seniors,” said a proud Greenville coach Jerrod Newland. “What an awesome opportunity. Four year players in their careers and both have 100 hits, both 100 wins, both are one-two all-time home runs here at Greenville High School.” “Just proud of them all four years,” continued Newland. “What I like is how solid they came in and played as freshmen all the way through. Both are three time all-leaguers and when you think of that you step back and say, darn, well, Greenville has two seniors that have been allLeague for three straight years and this year will be the fourth.” “When you’re all-League
player for four years and you do the things that way and you come out and you compete every day, that’s when you lead by example,” added Newland. Both seniors drilled home runs to put an exclamation point on 2018 senior night at Lady Wave Stadium. “I am so proud of those kids,” Newland said of Cromwell and Grote. “I told them and their parents one thing today – it’s only May and I can promise them this month of May is going to be a very special time for them and their daughters here as we make our journey to Akron. Can’t wait to punch our ticket and go.” The Lady Wave used the long ball driving three home runs out of the park to run-rule the Sidney Lady Yellow Jackets for the second consecutive night giving the young team its 13th run-rule victory of the season. Greenville freshman Grace Shaffer went the distance on the mound holding Sidney to two hits over five innings of work
and sophomore shortstop Morgan Gilbert also homered for the Lady Wave. The Greenville girls took an early 4-0 lead after one inning of play with the Lady Jackets scoring their lone run of the night in the top of the second to trail 4-1. Greenville wasted little time putting the game out of reach adding six runs in the bottom of the second to lead 10-1 with the teams heading to inning No. 3. The Lady Wave added two runs in the bottom of the third to lead 12-1, a lead that would hold up for the final score of the night. It’s May – we are finally starting to roll,” said Newland. “The weather is warming up. Fun stuff and just proud of the kids and the opportunity out here. When we pitch and play defense like that we’re going to be tough to beat.” Following the game, both seniors agreed the night was both tough and a little emotional for them while both agreed their final season wearing the Green and White is long from over.

“There is a lot more coming,” said Cromwell. “I wouldn’t play anywhere else. I love it.”
“I love it here,” Grote stated. “Ready for June.” Twentieth win – 16th straight year,” concluded
Coach Newland. “Proud of the kids and we play for the name on the front and that’s what it’s about.”

Ansonia baseball team earns senior night win over Newton BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com
ANSONIA – The Ansonia Tigers baseball team held on for a 5-4 Cross County Conference home win over the Newton Indians on senior night. “Great win,” said Ansonia coach Dustin Hecht. “We’ve been preaching to them all season if we throw strikes we’re a dang good team and that proved it tonight.” Newton had the tying run on second with two outs in the top of the seventh but failed to score with Rygh Fortkamp coaxing a fly to center giving the Tigers a Wednesday night win. “We stayed in there, we came out hot with the bats and we continued work and it just fell in our favor tonight,” Hecht said. “We played a heck of a game.”
Ansonia senior, Rygh Fortkamp went the distance for the Tigers on the mound. “He went all seven,” Hecht said of Forthkamp. “The senior took all seven. It was definitely a team win. Everybody contributed at the plate tonight.” Coach Hecht took time following the win to talk about his five seniors. “Rygh Fortkamp was a freshman when I took over this program so I have had the pleasure of having him all four years and he is a standup guy,” said Hecht. “I couldn’t ask for someone better. He’s always right there and he’s ready to do anything for a team win.” “Jarvis Thwaits came back this year after taking a year off,” Hecht said. “He’s been a huge contributing factor for this team this year. He’s played amazing at shortstop for us. He’s come in and pitched whenever we needed him
and really stepped up at the plate.” “Taylor Brewer has helped us on the mound, he’s been a contributing factor in the outfield,” said Hecht. “He’s moved around in every position in the outfield and really helped out there too.” “Eric Barga is four years on the baseball team,” stated Hecht. “Whatever we need out of the kid he gives you 100 percent every time and that’s practice or in game situations.” “Josh Heitkamp has been four years with the baseball team,” Hecht said. “He’s a team player, he’ll do whatever I ask. He’s basically been an outfielder for first three years. We had a spot at first this year and he stepped up and wanted to play there. It’s a huge change for him but he’s done great.” “Great group of kids,” concluded Hecht. “Couldn’t ask for a better senior class.” 1375 Wagner Ave, Greenville (937) 548-1252

Versailles’ McEldowney signs to play basketball at Urbana University BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com
VERSAILLES – Versailles senior Kami McEldowney, the daughter of Roger and Holly McEldowney signed with the Urbana University Lady Blue Knights basketball program. “It’s a dream come true,” McEldowney said. “If I work hard and earn my spot I can definitely see a lot of minutes my freshman year.” “It is a good fit for her,” said Versailles coach Jacki Stonebraker. “It’s close to home and they have an up and rising program. I’m excited for her to be part of a building program.” McEldowney, a four-year starter for the Versailles Lady Tigers basketball team earned an OHSAA Division III state championship her freshman season and backto-back state runner-up finishes her junior and senior years. “She has been a great leader for us ever since a freshman,” Stonebraker noted. “She’s a great hustler out there, she gets the offense ignited with her three-point shot, she can
take it to the hole as well. She’s just a very fun player to watch and I’m excited to see her play at the next level.” The Midwest Athletic Conference named McEldowney girls basketball conference player of the year and was selected second team all-Ohio by the Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association. “She can raise and lower her game anytime she wants to,” said Stonebraker. “She’s going to take those girls and put them on her back and say let’s go, let’s win this game. She is a game player. In tight situations you want her on the court.” McEldowney had impressive numbers as a four year starter, scoring 1,323 career points with 603 of the points (201 baskets) coming from beyond the arc. The Versailles senior dished out 384 assists and pulled down 258 rebounds. During her four year career, the Lady Tigers compiled an impressive 100-17 record, a 26-3 post season mark including three
trips to the final four in Columbus.s “It’s phenomenal how many games she played and how many wins she got underneath her belt – as a whole team,” said Stonebraker. “It’s phenomenal how many trips they made to state and just how successful those four years of hers were these past couple of years.” “I didn’t really realize how much we won,” McEldowney said of her senior teammates. “I think just the seniors left a huge part in Versailles and I’m really proud – we really had fun with it and just left it all here.” As a freshman, McEldowney helped the Versailles volleyball team to a state semifinal appearance and a Division III state championship as a senior. “Work hard and have fun – really enjoy it,” McEldowney said of her college goals. “I only have four more years left.” McEldowney plans to study early childhood education, “and I’m probably going to go into caching with that too,” Kami added. “Trying to give back.”

Greenville baseball sweeps Sidney with run-rule win GAYLEN BLOSSER
SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – The Greenville varsity baseball team made it a sweep of the Sidney Yellow Jackets with a 17-7 five inning run-rule game after defeating the Jackets 9-4 in a Monday night game at Sidney and run-ruling Covington 15-0 in a Friday night game. “Scored a lot of runs,” said Greenville coach Eric Blumenstock. “I would have liked to have not given up seven tonight, could have been a little more effective on the pitching side but it was a good outing. Owen (Paulus) picked up a win tonight and we hit the heck out of the ball.” Greenville knocked out
17 hits in just four innings of work at the plate to earn the lopsided win. “This is the time when we want to start elevating our game,” Blumenstock stated. “We want to start getting better, we want to start getting in the tournament mode.” The Wave took a 2-0 lead after one inning of play getting a Landon Eldridge leadoff single and steal of second and scoring on a Tyler Beyke RBI double to left. A Karsyn Fender RBI single plated Beyke with the second run of the opening inning. Greenville broke the game open with seven second-inning runs. The offensive outburst came from singles by Ethan Saylor, Landon Eldridge, Mar-
cus Wood, and Kyle Mills, an error on a Tony Sells smash to third and a double off the bat of Karsyn Fender. Sidney bounced back in the top of the third with four runs to cut the Wave lead to 9-4 only to have Greenville put three runs on the board in the bottom of the frame pushing its lead to 12-4 with the runs coming from an Ethan Saylor single, an Eldridge RBI triple to left and a Marcus Wood two run homer. The Yellow Jackets made it a 12-7 game scoring three runs in the top of the fourth with Greenville putting up five runs in the bottom of the inning to take a 10 run 17-7 lead. “We’re starting to figure out how to step on the
throttle when we get somebody down,” Blumenstock said. Tony Sells led off the inning with a liner to left for a single, Alec Fletcher legged out an infield hit to short, Reed Hanes laid down an RBI bunt single scoring Sells, with Fletcher scoring on the throw down to second for a 14-7 score. Saylor followed with an RBI single to left, Eldridge walked and Beyke drilled a two run double to left to close out scoring on the night with Sidney going down in order in the top of the fifth. Owen Paulus recorded the win for Greenville in four innings of work with Tyler Beyke pitching a scoreless fifth and final inning.

“Starting off the season with two with Tipp (Tippecanoe 20-3), two with Butler (14-10), two with Troy (13-6), it’s tough for a team who is 70 percent sophomores,” noted Blu-
menstock. “We just have to go out every day and figure out what we need to work on and learn from our losses, figure out ways to learn from our wins and go from there.”

teacher, flower arranger, singer, pianist, seamstress, baker, athlete; the list goes on and on!

Grillot opens Little Lilacs in Webster BY LINDA MOODY CORRESPONDENT lmoody@earlybirdpaper.com
WEBSTER – Donna Grillot’s dream of having her own floral shop has come to fruition and she has named it Little Lilacs, located in the former grange hall at 9914 State Route 185, Bradford, in the hamlet of Webster south of Versailles. The building, which was also at one time the old Webster school, is owned by her husband of nearly one year, Alvin Grillot, who runs Chalmer’s Garage. “I started a craft show on March 17 here but the weekend was really bad,” she said. “I had it the following weekend and decided to open up yet a third consecutive week. I was then working parttime and one Tuesday seven people came in. We decided to get a vendor’s license.” Grillot, who has three diplomas from as many different floral schools in Italy, moved back to Ohio in 2013. “I lived in Europe for 25 years; two years in Germany and the other years were spent in Italy,” said the U.S. Air Force veteran. “I served during Desert Storm and worked in the post office at Rheinmaine Air Base in Germany. She met her first husband while she was serving with a Naval Fleet in Naples. I stayed in Italy, married my husband and had twin sons, Alessio and Davide.”
Donna Grillot stands beside the sign outside of her newly opened flower shop, Little Lilacs in Webster. (Linda Moody photo)
Her husband, she said, was the owner of a flower shop. “After our divorce, I decided to leave Italy,” she said. “I came back to the U.S., found land in the Rossburg area and had a log cabin built. I had to find work and started working in Versailles.” She met Grillot, a bachelor mechanic, when someone suggested she go to him to have work done on her vehicle. During their courtship, Donna wanted to take a look inside the grange hall, much to the dismay of Alvin. But he allowed her to do so. As a result, they renovated it, complete with a purple decor. Thus, when she had her “flower shop,” she named it Little Lilacs, which of-

fers floral arrangements but there are no fresh-cut flowers; all kinds of artificial flowers; floral wreaths; any type of cemetery work; and all kinds of signs, plaques and pictures. “My love is basically flowers,” she said, looking around her flower shop. “I did all of the flowers for my wedding...the bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres. We had 128 people in here for the reception.” “My heart is still over in Italy,” said the 1988 graduate of Miami East High School. “My sons stayed there with their father, but I call them every day, because I miss them.” “Dreams actually do come true. I think God’s grace prevails. His hands are working in our lives. For awhile, the valley was not so bright; now it’s amazing. I’m Donna again. I want people to come in here even if it’s just to talk, look at books and magazines or have some refreshments. I want there to be a light in this town.” The floral shop is open from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays. The shop is closed Sundays and Mondays. Those wanting more information may call her at 937-569-1454.

taste of Neverland to Ansonia High School. After a successful fall show of Amuse Bouche, the club was back on stage for a three-day performance of Peter Pan - A Musical
Adventure. The cast demonstrated both their singing and acting skills which were a smash hit with the audience. The show brought to life the tale of the boy that

never grew up, Peter Pan, and the adventure of Wendy and her brothers flying away to Neverland - where they meet the lost boys, a tribe of Indians and a band of pirates, led by the evil Captain Hook. According to club director, Morgan Aultman, the cast and crew worked very hard for several months in preparation for the performance. “In my opinion this year’s production of Peter Pan is the best show we have put on at Ansonia in the five years that I have been director,” Aultman said. “I am excited to see more and more people finding the joy of theater and figuring out just how much fun it can be.” “I could not be more

proud of all of the students and all of the hard work they have put into making these productions what they are,” she added. “Most of what you see during the productions is student created with a little bit of advice, direction, or help from Ms. Danielle Rhonemus, adult volun-
teers or myself. I am truly excited to see where this program could go in the coming years!” For more information about the Ansonia Drama Club, visit their Facebook page at facebook.com/Ansonia-HighSchool-Drama-Club877856732310306/

GREENVILLE – For consecutive years, Greenville’s observance of the National Day of Prayer was moved inside due to weather. The rain outside couldn’t dampen the spirit inside as approximately 100 people came together to pray for the community, state, nation and each other. Normally held on the steps of the Greenville Municipal Building, the year’s event was moved to St. John’s Episcopal Church at the corner of South Broadway and Water Streets. This year’s theme was Unity with scripture found in Ephesians 4:3 encouraging all to make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. Joseph Helfrich opened the service by singing and playing several worship songs and Pastor John Monroe opened the service. Mayor Steve Willman read the proclamation declaring May 3 as National Day of Prayer in the City of Greenville and led the Pledge of Allegiance. American Legion Post #140 presented the Colors for the service. Pastor Brian McGee, of St. John’s Lutheran Church, Greenville, opened the prayers by praying for the community. U.S. Representative Warren Davidson prayed for the government and Fred Dean prayed for the military. Local attorney Travis L. Fliehman offered a prayer for the Judicial System. Several candidates for
Congressman Warren Davidson offers a prayer for the government during Greenville’s National Day of Prayer event.
Ohio House of Representatives were also on-hand to offer prayers. Jena Powell, vice-president of sales and marketing for Huntington Outdoor, prayed for business; Aaron Heilers, project manager at Blanchard River Demonstration Farms Network, prayed for agriculture; and Susan Manchester, director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of West Central Ohio, prayed for families. Others offering prayers included Steve Baker, WHIO-TV, praying for the media; Mekenna Anderson, Tri-Village High School sophomore, prayed for education; Pastor Douglas Klinsing praying for volunteers; and Dr. James Vandermark of St. Paul United Church of Christ praying for the church. The Greater Greenville Ministerial Association, program sponsors, believes it is vital for believers to lift up their praise to Almighty God along with their petitions for His guidance, strength and continued blessings.

GREENVILLE – St. Mary’s Catholic School has been home to Kathy Pierri most of her life. After attending grades 2-8 at the Third Street school in Greenville, Pierri returned for 33 years of a 35-year teaching career. Pierri says she became a teacher “thanks to my mother. She’s the one who encouraged me to pursue education.” On Tuesday, May 1, Pierri was honored for her 35-year milestone during an event honoring Catholic educators, held at the Presidential Banquet Center in Kettering. Pierri attended kindergarten and first grade at Greenville’s North School – since St. Mary’s didn’t offer those grade levels at that time. She went on to graduate in 1978 from Greenville High School, then attended Wright State University to study education. She completed her student teaching at Greenville’s South School under the tutelage of second-grade teacher Barb Goen. Pierri spent her first two years teaching at St. Peter’s School in Huber Heights before returning home to Greenville’s St. Mary’s School. Through the years, Pierri has taught grades 3-8 at St.
grade teacher. “I just thoroughly enjoy spending my day with the kids and watching their growth from the first day of school each year,” Pierri said of her students. The biggest change for education during her tenure, Pierri believes has been technology. Not only has it allowed students to learn keyboarding and improve researching skills, the use of technology also has impacted how teachers plan lessons and keep track of classroom records, Pierri said. “I used to record grades in a grade book, now it’s all online,” she said. Students mostly use computers for the Renaissance Program – formerly Accelerated Reading – where students read then take computerized tests about each book. Pierri then rewards her students with Book It, a reading incentive program designed by Pizza Hut. Pierri also uses technology to assist in specific lesson planning, visiting Pinterest and a site called Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) – an educational marketplace for teachers to share lesson tips and ideas, including worksheets and classroom activities on a variety of subjects. “I really enjoy lesson planning,” Pierri admitted. “I like to keep up with current trends.” The use of email also has

simplified communication between Pierri’s classroom and parents of her students. “I give my students a morning snack and whenever I see I’m running low I just send out an email and snacks start coming in.” Pierri, who isn’t ready to leave her home-away-fromhome quite yet, will be teaching this coming school year and will be introducing Chromebooks to her class. When she’s not planning lessons or teaching in the classroom, Pierri enjoys crafting, camping and spending time with her grandchildren. She’s also spent quite a bit of time scrapbooking, creating a page for every year of her career. The pages include class photos, notes and cards from students and other mementoes from each of her 35 years. Pierri and her husband
Rick, who retired from Whirlpool, are the parents of two sons, RC and his wife Ashley who reside with their daughter Kinley, 8, near Ft. Bragg, N.C. and Phillip and his wife Jodi who live in Greenville with their four children, Mason, a fifth-grader at St. Mary’s who was lucky to have his grandmother for a teacher last year; Hudson, a secondgrader who will be in grandma’s class next school year; Chloe, age 5 and Brady, age 3. This summer, Pierri and her husband will be taking a month-long camping trip to California to visit family. Along the way they plan on stopping to see several historical sites, including Utah’s national parks. “Planning the trip is almost as fun as actually going,” Pierri said.
Bradford Lady Railroaders honored for GPA GAYLEN BLOSSER
SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com
BRADFORD – The Bradford Lady Railroaders 20172018 varsity basketball team was presented the Ohio National Guard Academic Team Award for having one of the top cumulative grade point averages in Ohio. “We talk a lot with our girls hard work doesn’t always pay off the next day, that night, and this is exactly a good replication of that,” said Bradford varsity girls basketball coach Patrick McKee. “The hard work that we started clear back in October pays off now.” Sergeant First Class Justin Ward of the Greenville Ohio National Guard presented the award to the Lady Roaders and Coach
Patrick McKee Tuesday afternoon in the school’s gymnasium with the high school students in attendance. “The Academic Team Award is an award that identifies the teams that have the highest GPA,” said Ward. “Every single girl on that team had a 4.0 GPA, which they tied in first throughout the entire state for that award.” To be considered for the award, eight varsity letter winners from the school’s varsity basketball team vie for the award from teams across the state. Not only did eight of the Bradford players have 4.0 GPA averages, but the entire team of 13 Lady Railroaders earned a 4.0 GPA in the classroom. “One thing we try to instill in our kids is that the things that we really want in

life that require hard work is not going to happen overnight,” McKee stated, “but if you trust in the process it’s going to happen eventually.” The Lady Railroaders worked hard on the court this past season, a year that did not produce results the team was hoping for. “We knew this past summer when we got them together they kind of clicked
right away,” said Coach McKee. “Obviously we didn’t get the wins we wanted this year, but I think every team will admit that we fight, we fight for four quarters and I have a feeling that has a lot to do with the hard work they put into their academics. I’m a coach that believes your work in the classroom carries over to the court and I think that helps us out there.”
Council discusses parklets and blights RYAN BERRY
MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – Main Street Greenville (MSG) received approval from Greenville City Council to try something new at the June First Friday event. Crysta Hutchinson, executive director of MSG, addressed council to ask for permission to use part of the city’s right-of-way to create parklets that evening. The parklets are temporary green spaces and Hutchinson hopes they will encourage people to come downtown, find a place to sit and build community. MSG, with the city’s bless-
ing, would close off several parking spaces for the weekend. “We would seek approval from businesses where these will be set up,” she said. They are hoping to work with local landscape companies to install the parklets. The landscape crews would begin work on Friday morning and the temporary green spaces would be removed by Monday morning. Councilman Doug Wright said he thought it was a great idea. Jeff Whitaker added, “I like it.” Councilwoman Dori Howdieshell commented, “It’s different.” She also noted that if she still had a business downtown she would want it in front of her shop.
Hutchinson explained the edge of the parklet would not affect the traffic flow. Council approved the temporary parklet unanimously. Council also approved Community additional Funds to be used for YOLO and the Greenville City Municipal Band. The city will give $2,800 to YOLO and $5,800 to the band for new chairs. Wright also asked the city’s administration about a property on Hall Street that he said was “dilapidated and needed to have something done. It makes the neighborhood look very, very bad.” Council President John Burkett asked, “Where are we on our plans
to demolish or pursue this?” Safety Service Director Curt Garrison noted there currently aren’t any plans to demolish any buildings in the city. “It would take a conversation by the administration, estimates council would have to approve and the law director to move it forward,” said Garrison. Mayor Steve Willman suggested they would find out who owns it and take the first step. “I’m not sure what the process is. This is the first time I would ever go through it.” He continued, “All I can say is that we’ll find out what we’re supposed to do and report back.” Burkett shot back, “We expect you to do that.”

New Medicare Cards Come with New Scams
There is great news for Medicare beneficiaries, and a bit of caution regarding scammers. The good news is that Medicare will be sending out new Medicare cards to each recipient. Mailing of the new cards will begin April 1st of this year and will be completed by April 1st of next year. The new cards WILL NOT HAVE the enrollee’s Social Security number on them, as they do now. This is a major accomplishment for Medicare and is being done to help put a stop to identity theft via Social Security identification numbers. This problem has been rampant nationally and is very serious business for Medicare enrollees who have had their cards compromised by internet bandits. The new cards will have an encrypted 11 digit number that even the holder will not be able to “unencrypt.” So that is good news. For the State of Ohio, delivery of new cards is scheduled to begin after June 1st. But, along with the good news, bad news sometimes seems to follow. The bad news is that Medicare scammers have already jumped into the game. There is more than one technique involved, but these are the two most used.
GREENVILLE – Continuing their donations in support of Darke County Special Olympics, shown here are John Swallow and Joy Greer of Second National Bank as awards presenters at last year’s Darke Co. Special Olympics Track and Field Event. Left to right are special needs student athletes Christian Nixon, Lance Watkins Kayden Chalmers and Landen Kimmel. The annual event with all Darke County school districts participating will be held Friday, May 11 (with the inclement weather date of May 14) at the new Jennings Center Track and Field Complex behind Greenville High School. Over 350 school aged special needs athletes are expected to participate. The public is invited to attend.

First, scammers are calling Medicare recipients, sometimes identifying themselves as Medicare or “government” officials, and telling them that the new cards are coming out, but that they will have to send $30-50 to get the new cards. THIS IS BOGUS—there is no charge for the new cards—and CMS/Medicare does not call people—it only uses the US Postal Service to communicate. The second technique is for the scammer to say that they have a Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Plan available, but then request personal Medicare information so that the new plan can be utilized. THIS IS ALSO BOGUS. Whatever you do, do not fall for this. Medicare information is personal, and the scammers simply use it for illegal activities. So, we don’t know when or how the scammers will spring into operation in Ohio, or the Miami Valley region, but if you receive one of these calls, just hang up, and report the activity with a call to 1-800Medicare. And…above all, do not feel pressured to respond to any of these calls—the scammers are well-trained in intimidation and persistency. Don’t fall for it. Donna Kemp Premier Senior Insurance, LLC

I Like Mike!
Re-Elect Mike Stegall County Commissioner
Promises Made. Promises Kept. PROMISE #1: Fiscal Responsibility Since 2011, due to a rising economy, sales tax revenues have increased and delinquent tax collections have increased, allowing Darke County to be able to continue an aggressive campaign of modernization and remodeling... all while staying within budget! PROMISE #2: Economic Collaboration The County Community Improvement Corporations (CIC), the Economic Development Department, and the Partnering for Progress initiative (P4P), along with individuals, communities, schools, and businesses, have joined to help retain and create about 2200 jobs since 2011. This collaboration must continue as it will help keep Darke County as a leader in agricultural production and economic expansion. PROMISE #3: Fix What Needs Fixing Since 2011, the County Commissioners have allowed for much needed maintenance and upgrades on taxpayer funded buildings and equipment in order to keep them viable for the future. This includes improvements to the Sheriff’s building and vehicles, 911 center, the Wagner Ave. complex, the Garst Ave. complex, and the Courthouse. Again, all while staying within the budget!
STAY THE COURSE! Paid for by the Committee to Elect Mike Stegall Commissioner, Randall E. Breaden, Treasurer, 6380 Fairway Ct., Greenville, OH 45331

GREENVILLE – The West Central Ohio Gourd Patch is excited to announce its third annual Spring Gourd Show. The show will be held Saturday, May 19 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Darke County Shawnee Prairie Preserve in Greenville, in conjunction with their Spring Native Plant sale. The events are free and open to the public. During the show, handcrafted gourds will be available to purchase from local artisans, along with dried gourds and plants. Come meet the talented artists who will gladly
share their knowledge of their craft. It will be a wonderful opportunity to see the many different artistic techniques that can be implemented to a gourd.

With so many different sizes and shapes of gourds available, the possibilities of ideas are only limited by your imagination. While gourd plants will be available for purchase, any questions you
might have about planting, growing, harvesting, drying, and cleaning a gourd will happily be answered. If you are looking for a unique item for a special someone or just for yourself, or curious to learn more about gourds, come check them out. You might be surprised at what you may find and learn.

Book sale in New Paris NEW PARIS – The New Paris Branch of the Preble County District Library will host a book sale on May 12-18 during regular library hours. Fill your bookshelves and help your local library. On May 12, there will also be baked goods for sale.
GREENVILLE – You may have noticed some activity at the new Bish Discovery Center on Ohio Street. Cinder blocks and soil have been delivered to build at least 20 raised beds on the empty lot on the north side of the building. Staff and volunteers have been on site more regularly as the excitement for using this space for the community continues to grow. The purpose of the community garden is twofold as the district looks to provide space for both individuals and school students. The majority of the beds will be available to rent for a small fee by people who would like a place to garden but may not have the space or proper sunlight at their residence. A garden contract will ensure that there is a mutual understanding between the park and the renter. Darke County Parks will provide quality soil, access to water, and video surveillance to detour vandalism. There will also be a number of op-
portunities to gather and learn for those interested in expanding their knowledge. The hope is to create a community of people who have an interest in gardening and a place to learn more about how to have a successful harvest. The Greenville Elementary School will be the main focus of the educational gardens in the space. The park district plans to offer curriculum based programming for classes and have the gardens available for independent field trips and lessons as well.
While the focus will be on kindergarten through first grade in the beginning, it is expected to include all of the grade levels at the elementary school in the future. Darke County Parks is proud to be the recipient of a grant from RAB Lighting to get this project off the ground. Along with the community garden there are plans for rain barrels, aquaponics, a compost area and cold frames. For more information or to sign up for programs call 937-548-0165.
Solid Waste gets grant money COLUMBUS – Ohio EPA is awarding nearly $4 million this year in grant funding to 60 local governments, businesses and nonprofit organizations throughout Ohio to establish and implement recycling, litter prevention, recycling market development and scrap tire recycling programs. Local governments use these funds to support litter collection activities,
develop education programming or create opportunities for residents to properly dispose of scrap tires through tire amnesty collection events. All local cleanup efforts will involve the work of volunteers and take place on public property. Locally, Darke County S0lidy Waste has received $17,000 for scrap tire collection and disposal.

Bliss appointed to board of National Federation of Republican Women ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Lyn Bliss, a local Republican woman leader will serve on the Board of Directors of the National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW) in 2018-2019. NFRW President Jody Rushton has appointed Lyn Bliss of Greenville to the organization’s Bylaws Committee, which is responsible for ac-
cepting proposed amendments to the NFRW Bylaws and approval of bylaws for all new club chartering applications. The NFRW board met March 22-24 in the Washington, D.C., area to conduct organizational business, prepare for the upcoming midterm elections, and receive updates from more than 25 Re-
publican Members of Congress on a range of issues, including human trafficking and the opioid crisis. “With the midterm elections just months away, the NFRW is gearing up to help Republicans across the country win races at the local, state and national lev-

els,” Rushton said. “We are pleased that Bliss is going to play a key role in this effort by sharing her talents and ideas with our members across the nation.” Bliss is currently serving as Immediate Past President and Parliamentarian of the Ohio Federation of Re-
publican Women (OFRW). She has previously served the OFRW as President, Southwest District Vice President and Legislative/Political Education Chairman. Bliss is currently a member of the emPOWERED Republican Women and serves as its Secretary.
“Being appointed to the NFRW Bylaws committee by President Rushton is indeed an honor and privilege. I am looking forward to continued service on the NFRW’s Board of Directors in this new capacity,” noted Bliss. Founded in 1938, the National
Federation of Republican Women is the largest and most influential Republican women’s group in the nation, proudly representing the party that first made it possible for women to vote in the U.S. The NFRW works to increase the effectiveness and relevance of women
in the cause of good government. Our mission remains to recruit and elect Republican candidates, promote the principles of the Republican Party, educate the public, and inform the media. For more information about the NFRW, visit www. nfrw.org.
