GREENVILLE – Andrea Townsend has been hired as the new Director of Career Technology Center, Special Education and Virtual Academy Supervisor for Greenville City Schools. The school board approved the move during a special meeting held Wednesday, May 3. Townsend will be compensated $90,000 per year for her 2-year contract, including the 2017-18 and 2018-19 school years. Townsend currently works in the district’s central office as the Director of Administrative & Pupil Personnel Services. “I am very excited to combine my two loves in education,” Townsend said. “It’s nice to retun to where I started and combine the skills I’ve learned along the way to continue to offer the community a program of excellence.” Townsend began her career in education as the Ag teacher at Tri-Village Schools. In 2003, she began her career with Greenville City Schools. “I began my career as
an ag teacher, which is considered a tech career, then branched off into special education,” Townsend said, noting how her work with Greenville has helped her combine a career with tech learning and special education into a position to “benefits the students and district and families.” Townsend, said Board President Jim Sommer, had a “strong desire” to continue her work with the district’s special education program. The board will be posting a new description for Townsend’s central office position soon, he said. Townsend is filling the CTC director’s position, which is currently held by Stan Hughes. Hughes was hired earlier this year as the Greenville High School Principal due to the upcoming retirement of current principal Jeff Cassel. In other business, the board approved overnight field trips for students participating in national competitions, including the HOSA International Leadership Conference June 21-25 for Med Tech Prep students and the FCCLA students who will compete at the FCCLA National Competition July 1-7 in Nashville, Tenn.

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – Voters in Darke County and Greenville had very few races and issues to decide and the turnout at the polls was extremely low with only five percent (1,379) of voters going to the polls to make decisions. There was only one contested race in the city of Greenville. Four Republican candidates were vying for the opportunity to appear on the November ballot for three at-large seats on Greenville City Council. Voters overwhelmingly said there will be a change on council when 2018 comes. Todd Oliver previously announced he would not seek another term and voters in the Primary said Tracy T. Tryon would not retain his seat. He finished in fourth with 132 votes. Jeffery D. Whitaker received the most votes with 259 and Douglas J. Wright garnered 216 votes. Incumbent Doug Schmidt received the third most votes with 208. The top three will face C. Sue House in November to determine who will take seats when the new council meets in
January 2018. Republican Stephen M. Willman ran unopposed in the Primary to fill the unexpired term left vacant by former mayor, Mike Bowers. He earned 273 votes. Unless an independent or write-in candidate files a petition, Willman will run unopposed on the ballot in November. Republican Cindy L. Austen also ran unopposed for the position of Greenville City Treasurer. She received 248 votes. County voters in the Miami Valley Career Technology Vocational School District said yes, but voters in the other counties said no to a new tax levy that would have provided for new construction and rehabilitation of current buildings. The district was seeking over $34 million for new construction and over $95 million for rehabilitating its current facility to be paid back over 30 years. They were also seeking .34 mills to be collected over a 10-year period. Darke County voters cast 579 yes votes and 457 votes against the levy. District wide, voters turned down the issue by a vote of 14,343 to 13,204 or 52 to 48 percent.

DARKE COUNTY – Nine county educators were recognized for dedication to their craft by the Darke County Educational Service Center (ESC) and the Darke County Retired Teachers Association on Wednesday, May 3. Eight teachers were named 2017 Teacher of the Year, while one was named Mentor of the Year. According to Superintendent Mike Gray, the ESC decided to forego choosing just one teacher from the county as the 2017 Teacher of the Year so “we can honor more teachers from across the county.” “We have many great teachers from across the county,” Gray said during the Wednesday luncheon, held at the ESC building, noting they were gathered to “celebrate all of you as Teachers of the Year 2017.” Gray gave a brief presentation on how maintaining a positive attitude in the classroom is imperative to learning. “I’m sure that is why you are all here today,” he told the group. “People in this room understand (what it’s like) being with kids every day who may not have the best attitude.” Gray also shared some suggestions from teachers around the state who have been honored for their work in the classroom. For example, one teacher shared “Do something every day to make your kids smile,” which in turn promotes a positive class-

tional Administrative Department at the University of Dayton. “What you do has a tremendous impact on individuals and society in this county,” Dolph said. Dolph shared how studies on how important teachers are show that a teacher is the “single most important entity in a school. You guys make the biggest difference in kids’ lives.” Dolph also quoted from his favorite coach – Woody Hayes, who coached Ohio State football. “A teacher is more important than what the teacher teaches.” Teachers were nominated by their peers for the honor of Teacher of the Year and include: Brian McKibben, music teacher from Greenville City Schools; Angie Wendel, science teacher with Bradford Schools; Gwen Bergman, high school math teacher at Mississinawa Valley; Dena Wuebker, vocational ag teacher with Versailles High School; Erin Tegtmeyer,
fifth- and sixth-grade intervention specialist with Arcanum Butler; Kip Gray, math teacher at Franklin Monroe; Beth Fisherback, seventh- and eighth-grade math teacher at Tri-Village; and Mary Lochtefeld, high school English teacher at Ansonia. Also recognized as the C. Michael Crawford Mentor of the Year was Teresa Birt, who has spent 33 of her 34 years teaching at Mississinawa Valley School. Birt currently teaches third- and fourthgrade math. Wuebbker, who has taught vo-ag for 23 years at Versailles, said she was “honored” to have been chosen be her peers to represent her school. “There’s many outstanding staff at Versailles,” she said. “I appreciate the staff recognizing my work.” Each teacher received an apple award from the Retired Teachers Association, presented by Jean Kelly, vice president of the association, as well as a certificate from the ESC.

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT
Police respond to a number of drug abuse reports Overdose
On April 19 an officer was dispatched to the 300 block of East Fifth Street in reference to a female who overdosed. Upon arrival, the officer spoke with the complainant, Michael Pretsman, who said his friend, Shala Partin had overdosed on heroin. The officer found Partin lying unresponsive on the floor. The officer also noticed Partin was not breathing on her own but did verify she had a pulse. The officer attempted to revive her with no response. The officer located an empty syringe on the floor. Greenville Rescue arrived on scene and administered oxygen and Narcan. Partin began to breath on her own and talk to Greenville Rescue members. She denied any

drug use. Partin’s name was run through LEADS/ NCIC and officers found she had a probation violation warrant through the Darke County Sheriff’s Office. Since her condition was not improving, Greenville Rescue transported Partin to Wayne HealthCare. A deputy from the Darke County Sheriff’s Office arrived at the hospital and waited until Partin was able to be released to his custody. On May 2 an officer responded to Speedway North on a robbery complaint. The officer learned that Gene Blatchford had walked into Speedway bloody and claiming he was injured and had been robbed. He was unable to tell the officer where the alleged incident occurred, but pointed to the direction of East Main Street. Blatchford could not give the officer a description of the person who robbed him, but said he just wanted medical attention. He was transported by Greenville Rescue to Wayne Emergency Room. When he saw the officer also was at the hospital, Blatchford asked what he was doing there. The

officer said he needed to know if Blatchford wanted to file a report. According to the police report, Blatchford asked “what for? I don’t know who did it and I wouldn’t tell you if I did.” About an hour later, a nurse reported to police they found a cap of heroin on Blatchford. The officer responded to the hospital and was given a clear capsule containing a white powder. The nurse told the officer as they were preparing to take Blatchford for X-rays, he began shuffling around with his pants. She left the room to get medication ordered and when she returned she noticed the capsule laying on him. When the officer questioned Blatchford about the capsule, he said it was melatonin, and also told the officer he would not say anything else without an attorney present. The capsule was submitted for testing. Police are waiting on results of the testing to determine if charges will be pursued. On May 2 an officer was dispatched to Dollar General, 539 Wagner Ave. in reference to a suspicious male in the store. Dispatch advised the male had been wandering around the store for approximately 30 minutes with a book bag. The complainant believed he was possibly shoplifting. Upon arrival, the officer located Albert Reed inside the store. Reed matched the description from a shoplifting complaint which occurred earlier the same day at Walmart. Reed told the officer he was at Walmart earlier and was planning on stealing items but he put the items back when he noticed Walmart’s loss prevention officer following him. The officer asked Reed if he had taken anything at Dollar General since he had been there and he said no and that he was just in the store to get warm. Reed allowed the officer to look inside his book bag. The officer was unable to locate any stolen items from Walmart or Dollar General. The offi-
cer asked Reed if he had anything in his pockets that he should not have and he said he had a pipe. Reed removed a clear glass pipe containing a burnt and charred residue. The pipe had the appearance of a device used to smoke crack cocaine. Also located inside the defendant’s pocket was a nail attached to a small plastic tube. The defendant stated the nail and tube was used to push the crack further into the pipe. The defendant told the officer the pants he was wearing did not belong to him and he was not aware the drug paraphernalia items were in there. Reed was detained due to the drug paraphernalia and on suspicion he shoplifted from Walmart earlier on the same day. Reed was transported to Walmart so the earlier shoplifting could be investigated. The loss prevention officer from Walmart reported observing Reed concealing items on his person. When he exited the store the loss prevention officer confronted him about the stolen items and he took off running. Reed admitted he ran but insisted he put the stolen items back before leaving the store. Loss prevention issued a trespass notice to Reed, which he signed. Reed was cited for drug paraphernalia and was released. The drug paraphernalia was transported to the Greenville Police Department where it was photographed and placed into evidence. On April 30 officers were dispatched to a residence in the 400 block of East Fourth Street in reference to a possible drug overdose. Complainant Diana Mitchell told officers and Greenville Township Fire and Rescue that Matt Hall was in the basement. Hall was found lying on the floor next to a water heater. A syringe was found on top of the water heater. Squad members administered five doses of Narcan to revive Hall. He was transported to Wayne HealthCare, where he ad-

nal violation at Warren and Hall streets. Brock showed signs of alcohol impairment and did poorly on sobriety tests. He was placed under arrest for OVI and transported to the Greenville Police Department. He was later issued traffic citations for OVI and failure to signal, then released. Vandalism at library On April 28 an officer was dispatched to the Greenville Public Library, 520 Sycamore Street, in reference to a vandalism complaint. This incident took place the night before, on April 27. Upon arrival, the officer was met by library employee Lauren Cline. Cline showed the officer three graffiti marks on the exterior of the building. Two of the graffiti marks were written on the east wall near the downstairs entrance. The third graffiti mark was written on the south side of the building near the downstairs entrance. The first graffiti mark was a person’s name and an unknown symbol with the name scratched out. The second was the name written again in pen. The third was the number 420 written in blue marker. Cline was able to identify two juvenile suspects and told police there had been incidents with the two juveniles at the library in the past. Cline also said library personnel have verbally trespassed the two juveniles from the library on multiple occasions. Cline will contact her supervisor, John Vehre in reference to pursuing criminal charges and let the department know what they want to have done. They will also contact the police department when the surveillance video is ready to view.
On April 29 an officer was dispatched to Super Wash, 665 Wagner Ave. on a disorderly conduct complaint. Upon arrival, the officer spoke with the complainant, Reymond Sargenti, who explained he saw on his home surveillance camera a male subject remove grates from inside one of the car wash bays. When Sargenti arrived at Super Wash, the offender, Joseph Stephens, became disorderly. Stephens said when he was washing his car he left his wallet on top of the car and it fell into the pit. Stephens said he then removed the grates to the pit to retrieve his wallet. While removing the grates, he let the grates fall into the pit. Stephens was not given permission from the property owner to improperly tamper with the grates. Surveillance video shows Stephens never drove his car into the car wash bay to be washed. When officers asked Stephens for his identification, he grabbed his wallet from the car. Stephens later said he didn’t lose his wallet, but he did lose money and he didn’t know where the money had gone. The video also shows Stephens driving his vehicle into the parking lot of Super Wash and he has a suspended license. Stephens also made multiple attempts to dig through the trash and turned the trash bin on its side so he could enter the bin. Stephens was trespassed from Super Wash and was cited for driving under suspension. His vehicle was towed.
On May 2 two officers checked a residence in the 200 block of South Ohio Street for Sara Burkhart. Information was received from adult parole that she had a felony warrant issued from Marion County, Ind. on a fraud charge. Burkhart was located and arrested. She was transported to the Darke County Jail to await pick up from Indiana with no bond
On April 17 an officer spoke with Richard Engelken, who came to the police department to report on two subjects he said were involved in a verbal argument at Danny’s Place. When the officer took Engelken’s report, he showed signs of alcohol impairment. Engelken performed poorly on sobriety testing, and was placed under arrest for OVI. He was issued a citation for OVI and released. On April 29 an officer conducted a traffic stop on John Brock for a sig-

mitted to “shooting one cap of heroin,” according to the report. After learning Hall was on probation, his probation officer was contacted. The probation officer reported Hall did not report as scheduled on April 27. A report of the incident was forwarded to the prosecutor’s office for possible charges. The prosecutor’s office later advised they would take the case before the grand jury for possible indictment. Due to Hall being on probation he does not qualify for immunity.

GREENVILLE – The chance to meet up with old friends, listen to some good music, play a game or two of Bingo, and enjoy a free lunch brought senior citizens together to enjoy Tuesday’s Senior Citizens Day 2017 at Greenville High School. The annual event is planned by the Student Council with assistance by members of Varsity G. Brookdale Assisted Living also is a sponsor, providing the free lunch of lasagna, salad, green beans, bread sticks and cookies. Prior to a musical program featuring children from the Greenville Learning Center, the Wavaires, Concert Choir, Orchestra and Jazz Scene, students presented Brookdale with a check for $778.06. The money was raised earlier this spring during a high school Rock-a-Thon – complete with a purple rocking chair in honor of the Alzheimer’s Association, said Brookdale’s sales manager Tina McClanahan. The money will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Association, but will be used to assist with Alzheimer’s patients in Darke County, she said. McClanahan said Brookdale was pleased to be able to assist with the high school’s Senior Citizen’s Day by providing the food. “We do it for the seniors in the county,” she said. “They don’t have a senior center for activities, so anything we can do we will.” Student Council President Justin Brown and Co-Vice-President Taylor Ward were two seniors who helped plan the event.

“It’s a good way to bring the elderly community and the younger community together,” Brown said. Ward said she’s been helping plan Senior Citizen Day since she was a freshman at GHS. “I think it’s a really neat thing for us to do,” Ward said. “It’s grown a lot. It brings different generations together and keeps everyone connected. The senior citizens get to enjoy a nice day and we get to cater to them.” Three sisters – Kay Jones, 70, Sue Mills, 68 and Janet Clemens, 63 – say one reason they came back for their second Senior Citizens Day was to meet up with senior Rachel Hicaerson, who was their table server last year. “They have a lot of great stories,” Hicaerson said. According to Jones of Ansonia, the young people enjoy hearing stories from the seniors and the seniors enjoy being entertained by the musical groups. “We do a lot of stuff and we’re very fun,” said Clemens of Greenville. “I love the music,” said Mills, also of Greenville. “It was hard to keep my feet still.” The sisters – three of seven girls – graduated from Arcanum Schools. They also are active with the Treaty City Seniors, who hold a dance every Monday. “We dance all the time,” Jones explained. Tuesday’s entertainment by the high school choral and instrumental groups included show tunes, country, 60’s jazz selections and some 70s rock. The Naval Junior ROTC students presented the colors.

Sunday, May 7, to ensure they have enough food for everyone to enjoy. The public is invited to attend these events. Ansonia First Church of God is celebrating the present by planning their sixth missions trip to Guatemala, June 17–24. God has blessed the church with the ability to bless a family in Guatemala with a new home. This will be the fifth house the church has had the privilege to build. If we built this house here in Darke County, people wouldn’t be very impressed. It consists of only two rooms with a wood-burning cook stove outside under its own roof, but for a Guatemalan family, it is lifechanging and life-giving. The team gets to share Christ with this family and the neighbors while serving the Lord. It isn’t all work either. There is a time of sightseeing, going to a Guatemalan church service, visiting an orphanage and sharing in study and fellowship as
a team. This experience doesn’t just change lives of the people we come in contact with--it also allows them to see God at work around them and in them. Make plans to join them this year as they “Celebrate Our Heritage and Anticipate Our Future!” Worship services are each Sunday at 10:30 a.m. The Ansonia First Church of God is located at 750 South Main Street. Contact the church office at (937) 337-3945 for more information.

ON YOUR MIND
City wants assurances from commission BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – “We do not do anything in this city, we do not employ anyone in this city, we do not do any project in this city without a written contract. It is just good business,” said Curt Garrison at the May 2 meeting of Greenville City Council. He was referring to his conversation with the Darke County Commission regarding the plan to move all 911 and dispatch services to the county. At the advice of legal counsel, the commission has stated they will not enter into a contract or provide any type of memorandum of understanding to spell out the guidelines for going with one system operated by the county. Greenville currently runs its own dispatch and accepts 911 calls from landlines only. Calls from cellular phones within the city are currently transferred from the county to Greenville’s dispatch center. The county has offered the services at no charge to the city. The city wants some assurances in return. “As a customer of their service, it would in our best interest to have some type of formal process to work through any grievances that might arise. To say they’re not going to happen – I don’t believe that is an accurate statement. They said they would think about it,” said Garrison. The city also believes a contract or agreement would help protect local taxpayers if the county decided to charge for dispatch services at a later date. “I was told if the county where to charge the city they would have to charge everyone,” said Garrison. Garrison also pointed out the commission’s side, “If they enter into a contract or memorandum of
understanding for us, they have to do it for everyone else.” The county is currently working towards changing to the MARCS system, which means the city would need to follow suit or operate with two sets of radios in order to work cooperatively with the rest of the county. Garrison added, “We have a dilemma in our county. It has been stated over and over by our county commissioners and our county sheriff that our county VHF system is on its last leg. Why we have allowed it to get to this point that it needs to be fixed and fixed right now…I can’t answer that, but that’s where we are.” If the system goes down, communications with first responders in certain areas would be non-existent. The city’s system is facing its own set of problems. “We have a VHF system in the city of Greenville that is separate from the county. However, we had equipment failures this week where our console, it too was at its end of life. It is operating off of Windows XP. We’ve had some computer failures.” The cost to replace the consoles at the city and county is estimated at $150,000 to $200,000 each. Garrison is not opposed to making the switch to the MARCS radio, “It is my opinion this is the way we need to go. MARCS is the best that we have available right now.” The question he posed to council was, “Do we want to take a wait and see? Do we want to continue talks?” He added, “I think those are questions we have to ponder, but not necessarily looking for answer right now, but something that definitely needs to be answered in the future.”
P4P to focus on social media to attract business, younger workers BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com
DARKE COUNTY – Using social media to market the county to attract millennials will be a focus for the Darke County Community Improvement’s Partnering for Progress (P4P). Attendees heard several reports during P4P’s annual Investor Meeting and Breakfast, held at Romer’s on Friday, April 28. With the population of Darke County projected to “decrease during the next 20-30 years,” said Mike Bowers, Darke Ciunty Economic Development Director, one focus will be to attract young families and workers to the area through the use of social media. Jared Ebbing, Mercer
County Community Development Director shared collaborative efforts between the northern members of the Dayton Development Coalition, which includes both Darke and Mercer counties. These efforts include using the website, HometownOpportunity.com, to attract both individuals and businesses looking to locate in the northern Miami Valley area. The site also offers an opportunity for those already residing in the county to post their resume and look at the hundreds of jobs available in the area. Due to some regional marketing efforts including advertising in a Cincinnati Reds program, visitors to the site have risen dramati-
Farmers encouraged to invest in biogas tech WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Pat Roberts (R-KS) introduced bipartisan legislation to invest in biogas technologies, giving farmers and wastewater plants new opportunities to turn waste into useable products like biogas. This bill would create jobs and help keep water sources free of animal and other waste. “Keeping animal waste
out of our water is one of the easiest ways we can guard against polluted runoff that causes harmful algal blooms and pollutes Lake Erie,” said Brown. “This will not only be good for our water, but will help create jobs by providing new opportunities for farmers and wastewater sites to tap into the biogas market.” “The Ohio Farm Bureau Federation supports tax
Retired teachers plan meeting GREENVILLE – The Darke County Retired Teachers Association (DCRTA) will hold its general meeting/dinner on May 16, 6:30 p.m., at First Presbyterian church, 114 E. 4th St., Greenville. The meal, catered by Nancy Isch Custom Cakes & Catering, will consist of baked ham, green beans, scalloped corn, bowtie pasta, salad, rolls, assorted desserts, coffee, water and punch. The cost of the meal is $8 (make checks payable to DCRTA). Four selected graduating seniors who are planning post-secondary studies in the field of education will be
recognized and awarded a DCRTA scholarship of $400 each. The evening’s program will be provided by The Sunshine Girls who will sing and lead the audience in singing some familiar tunes. Donations of snacks (or money to purchase snacks) will be accepted to help fill the appreciation baskets given to each county school district at the end of the school year. To make reservations, contact Jean Kelly by May 11, at 606 w. South St., Arcanum, Ohio 45304, (937) 692-6248 (leave message if no answer) or mjkelly@ woh.rr.com.
incentives to help farmers invest in their futures to use biogas and nutrient recovery systems to generate renewable energy, produce high-value products or deliver renewable fuels,” said Yvonne Lesicko, Vice President of Public Policy for the Ohio Farm Bureau. “Nutrient management is an important task and we welcome farmers having opportunities to use the systems or tools which best fit their farms. We applaud Senator Brown and Senator Roberts for helping to promote an innovative approach to nutrient management with this incentive.” U.S. livestock and dairy producers possess a valuable biogas resource that is not being used to its full potential. Biogas digester systems – currently used at 2,100 farms and wastewater treatment plants in the U.S. – can turn organic material like manure, food scraps, agricultural residue, and wastewater solids into raw biogas or solids and liquids. Biogas can be used to produce heat, electricity, fuel and can be injected into natural gas pipelines. The solids and liquids can be used to produce fertil-

Too many farms and wastewater sites cannot take advantage of this technology because they lack the upfront cost to install a digester. The Agriculture Environmental Stewardship Act would make these systems eligible for a 30 percent investment tax credit to help farmers and wastewater treatment facilities offset the upfront costs associated with installing a digester system.

The P4P also plans to continue working with the area’s high school students as well as those enrolled in programs at Greenville’s Career Technology Center, the Miami Valley Career Technology Center, Upper Valley Career Technology Center and Edison Community College in their efforts to fill the local job market with local talent. Lisa Wendel also gave a brief report on the activities and programs the P4P held the past year for local high school students, including tours with local manufacturing plants and businesses and career development opportunities to “get kids involved in learning about careers.” Bowers also reported on efforts to bring “light manufacturing” to Ansonia and Arcanum,” as well as with downtown redevelopment, namely in Greenville and Versailles. The need for additional housing also was addressed by Bowers, who said part of the coalition’s focus would
be to work with Versailles and Arcanum to develop subdivisions. “Housing is a critical point. We have that hometown feel and we have affordable real estate,” Bowers said, as well as “values and we live by those values. We have a great quality of life right here in Darke County. The best of Ohio is here,” he said, naming several of the county’s attractions, which have earned Best of Ohio recognition, including several historical sites as well as fine dining, wineries, festivals and the best county fair in the state. Bowers also gave the P4P’s financial report on Friday: Total Partner Investment: $2,330,000 (includes county conveyance fee contribution) Yields: New Capital Investment - $195,000,000 Annual Payroll (retained /created) - $65,000,000 State/Federal Funds Secured - $30,000,000 Jobs (retained/created) – 2,000 According to Bower’s report, all totals are closely approximated. Capital investment and payroll cumulative totals are based on approximates for completed projects only. State/federal funding cumulative totals are based on dollars approved for project funding from public agencies. Not all secured funding was utilized by the companies. Totals are for completed projects through March 2017.

ARCANUM – The Arcanum Lady Trojans run ruled the visiting Miami East Lady Vikings 21-0 in ďŹ ve-innings of Cross County Conference play on senior night in Arcanum. “They played well tonight,â€? said Arcanum Coach Rick Stone. “Senior night ‌ a lot of emotion tonight for them and a couple of girls that don’t get to play as often got to play tonight being seniors. They did a nice job and hit the ball for us tonight. We’re just getting ready and hopefully can

A lot of these girls I coached them back when they were nine and 10 years old in travel ball. They are like daughters to me and my heart goes out to all of them.� “They are going to be
great human beings and are going to have wonderful lives outside of softball,â€? continued Stone. “They bring a winning atmosphere to the program here and the younger girls look up to them. They are great leaders ‌ they’ll be truly missed.â€? The Lady Trojans took a 1-0 lead after one-inning of play and plated two secondinning runs to lead 3-0 after two complete.

PITSBURG – Franklin Monroe High School Track & Field hosted its ďŹ nal event of the year on May 1 with teams from Arcanum, TriVillage, Troy Christian and Bradford joining the Jets. The blustery conditions caused the meet to cancel pole vault and high jump, but all other events were held. The night also recognized FM’s senior athletes competing in their ďŹ nal home meet. Many of these athletes have been with the program for all four years. Those honored were Nicole Berry, Cayley Baker, Taylor Hackney, Allyson Masterson, Scout Meyer, Hannah Eley, Saige Morrie, Zach
Gilliland, John Myers, Cole Skelton and Carson Baker. After all of the events were complete there wasn’t one winner in the women’s division; there were two. Longtime rivals Franklin Monroe and Arcanum ďŹ nished with 72-points each and tied for ďŹ rst place. Troy Christian earned third place, followed by Bradford and Tri-Village. In the men’s division, Arcanum came out on top with 89-points. Second place went to the home team, Franklin Monroe, with 77points. Tri-Village, Bradford and Troy Christian followed. Nicole Berry earned 17 points for Franklin Monroe with wins in shot put (40’ 3â€?) and discus (117’) and a ďŹ fth place ďŹ nish in the 300m
hurdles. Franklin Monroe’s 4x200m relay (2:00.04) and 4x400m relay teams also took ďŹ rst place. Maia Stump took ďŹ rst in the long jump for Bradford with a leap of 15’ 2â€?.

Coach Baker said of the team’s seventh-inning at the plate. “A little y ball almost drops there and could have tied the game up there at the end so game of opportunities.â€?

GREENVILLE – Greenville honored four LWSB seniors, Lauren Baughn, Makayla Hanes, Alli Hill and Karsyn Shaffer prior to the team’s 10-0 run rule win over the Sidney Lady Yellow Jackets. “Those four kids just cross the line and do a great job and put team ďŹ rst,â€? Greenville Coach Jerrod Newland said of his seniors. “Great families and that’s what it is in this life. It’s not about softball, it’s about the legacy you leave and these four kids in a few years will be back doing great things. Look at their families ‌ hard workers and great people and just so proud of all of them. Fun day, just a fun day for everybody.â€? The teams played to a 0-0 score after two complete innings of play before the Lady Wave took a 2-0 lead after three using a Shaffer double, a Cassie Cromwell RBI double to center and a RBI single to center off the bat of Hanes. Greenville batted around in their half of the fourth starting with a Courtney Bryson walk and a Morgan Gilbert bunt. A Sidney error plated Bryson for a 3-0 Wave advantage. Cromwell reached ďŹ rst by way of a hit batsman and

a walk to Hanes ďŹ lled the bases with Lady Wave. A Hill 2-RBI single, a Baylee Petry 2-RBI double to center and an RBI double off the bat of Sydney Grote had the Greenville girls holding a commanding 8-0 lead. “I love playing Sidney,â€? said Newland. “They’re a competitive team, second place in the league and they have the D-I pitcher on the mound. Every year I enjoy playing her on the mound because she brings the ball pretty good. The second and third time through we have adjusted and like hitting good pitches because good things happen.â€? The Lady Wave grabbed the win in the bottom of the ďŹ fth without making an out taking advantage of a Morgan Gilbert leadoff single and a Shaffer double putting runners on second
and third with no outs. The Lady Wave’s power hitting Casssie Cromwell followed with a walk-off 2-RBI single giving the local girls a 10-0 GWOC run rule win. “We put the ball in play and played a little short game and ran the bases today and great things happened,� Newland said. “Great for the senior day today. Four great kids. They don’t get any better than that. All four kids sign. Just makes you proud as a coach and just awesome stuff.� Baylee Petry picked up her GWOC leading 18th win of the season while the Lady Wave extended its current winning streak to 14 games. The win move the Lady Wave record to 20-3 giving the team 15 consecutive 20-game winning seasons.

Emotions fill courtroom, Bornhorst sentenced for deadly DUI crash BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – It was an emotion-filled courtroom Monday morning as 25-year-old Dean Bornhorst appeared for sentencing for a 2016 drunk driving crash that claimed the life of a husband and seriously injured his wife. In March, Bornhorst was convicted one count each of Aggravated Vehicular Homicide (F2), Aggravated Vehicular Assault (F3) and a misdemeanor DUI charge. The charges stemmed from a Sept. 11, 2016 crash in northern Darke County in which Bornhorst was drunk behind the wheel and slammed into the rear of a vehicle occupied by Steven and Lois Knapke. Steven Knapke, 65, was pronounced dead at the scene, while his wife Lois was hospitalized for her injuries. “I can not begin to image the pain the grief and sorrow that the Knapke family has gone through. You all have my sincerest condolences,” said defense attorney Andrew Pratt as he turned to the Knapke family. “This was no doubt a life-altering event for all involved,” Pratt continued. “He (Bornhorst) has discussed the possibility of talking to young people about the dangers of drinking and driving.” Accepting full responsibility for the tragic accident that impacted so many lives on both sides…
Dean Bornhorst emotionally read aloud a pre-written statement he prepared directed to the Knapke family as well as his own. “I want everyone in the courtroom to know that I alone am responsible for the accident…the loss of life and the pain that you are feeling,” he began. “I accept full responsibility and understand that I deserve to go to prison. It doesn’t matter how long I go to prison – Mr. Knapke will be gone forever – and that is my fault!” This event forced the Knapke family to relive a painful drunk driving accident that serious injured their father in the past. Only son, Doug Knapke, read aloud a statement prepared by the family during Monday’s sentencing. “We want a fair sentence, but one that will detour others,” he read. “This act has shaken our family to the core. Not only have we had to endure the loss of our dad, but have watched our mother suffer beyond what we thought is possible.” “Please use our fathers life to better your own,” he said to Bornhorst directly. Bornhorst was sentenced to the mutually recommended three years in prison, with a lifetime license suspension. He was immediately taken into custody by the Darke County Sheriff’s Office where he will await transport to the Correctional Reception Center (CRC) in Orient, Ohio.
Grieving widow avoids emotional trial, accepts state plea agreement BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – Nearly six months after losing her husband in a tragic automobile crash, Margaret “Peggy” Rhoades elected to avoid an emotional trial and plead guilty to the reduced charge of Operation of a Vehicle with Disregard of Safety (reckless operation) Wednesday morning in the Darke County Municipal Court. The state charged Rhoades with one count each of Vehicular Homicide (M1) and Vehicular Manslaughter (M2) following the Nov. 19, 2016 accident on US 36 that claimed the life of Bob Rhoades, Peggy’s husband of 45 years. As part of the plea agreement, and avoiding going to trial, the state offered to amend count one to the reckless operation (M4) charge and dismiss count two. “On behalf of Peggy, we were disappointed that there were charges brought in such a tragic situation at all,” stated defense attorney Caroline Schmidt of local law firm Garbig & Schmidt, LLC. “After dealing with this for many months, we felt that the plea agreement was a fair and reasonable way to resolve this. It allows Peggy to heal and move forward and not face any possible consequences that would have been unfair and unjust.” Immediately after ac-
Peggy Rhoades enters plea along side local attorney Caroline Schmidt. (Clinton Randall photo)
cepting the plea, Judge Julie L. Monnin shared the compassion of the situation before announcing the sentence. “There is beauty in closure…one way or another,” Judge Monnin said to Rhoades. “I can certainly be compassionate towards your loss and I do believe this is a good resolution to the situation…it brings that closure sooner.” “This in my eyes was an accident and that is how I am going to sentence accordingly,” Judge Monnin noted. Rhoades received a minimum sentence of $50, plus court costs and four points on her driver’s license. “I’m happy with how it turned out and just glad its over with,” Rhoades told The Early Bird. “I want to thank everyone for all the support…it really means a lot!” She plans to now go on the hunt for a new car and move forward…never forgetting the memories and the wonderful life she shared with Bob.
PITSBURG – “These are situations we respond to all too often,” said Joe VanVickle, Darke County coroner investigator, after students at Franklin Monroe High School saw a mock crash that realistically portrayed the death, serious injury and arrest of classmates. “There is nothing worse than walking up to a door and (as he banged three times on the podium) knocking on the door at any time of day and having a parent come to the door and see me in a door with a uniformed officer standing there.” The mock crash program was presented by the Franklin Monroe SADD (Students Against Deadly Decisions) with assistance from CareFlight, Pitsburg Volunteer Fire Department, Arcanum Fire & Rescue, Darke County Sheriff’s Deputies, Darke County Sheriff’s Dispatch, Darke County Coroner’s Office, and Oliver-Floyd Funeral. SADD students and their parents helped drive home the message that it only takes one time. One time to drive impaired. One time to not buckle your seat belt. One time to not pay attention while you’re driving. It seemed almost real as a grieving mother and father tried to get to their son covered by a white sheet. Students watched as one of their classmates was given a sobriety test while first responders tried to save and extract other classmates from a mangled car. Then they watched as a deputy handcuffed the suspect and led him away. The reminder came a week before the school’s prom, but many of the pre-
Wife jailed on $75,000 bond for assault with a deadly weapon
BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – Following a stabbing incident in Greenville last Thursday, 31-year-old Angela D. Bergman appeared in court Monday morning via video connection from the Darke County Jail. Contrary to a $250,000 recommended bond from Darke County Prosecuting Attorney Kelly Ormsby, Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein ordered a $75,000 cash, surety or property bond due to Bergman’s lack of criminal history. Bergman is charged with Felonious Assault, a second-degree felony, stemming from the assault in which she is said to have stabbed her husband multiple times during a domestic altercation that began in the home and ended on the McMiller’s Carryout property across the street on the 600 block of Martin St. The victim reportedly checked himself out of the hospital on Sunday and is recovering. The Greenville Police Department reported that Children Services conducted an investigation at the Bergman home, but “no further family issues were determined to be a causative factor in the assault”. This statement was released as follow-up to accusations witnesses overheard made by the defendant during the assault. Local defense attorney Randall E. Breaden was appointed to represent Mrs. Bergman, who appeared in Municipal Court this Thursday for a preliminary hearing in the case. She faces up to eight years in prison and a $15,000 fine if convicted as currently charged.
senters stressed they want the students to remember this message at all times. A member of the CareFlight team gave a step-by-step presentation of what can and does happen in accidents like the one the students witnessed. She explained that from the time the accident happens to the time the first of many first responders arrives could be the difference in living or dying. Many times the victims have done nothing wrong, but because an offender chose to drive impaired or drive distracted they could face a long-term recovery, life-changing disability or death. Students remained quiet and respectful as they moved from the parking lot where the crash site was staged to the gymnasium for
Aquarium team earns 5th VERSAILLES – On April 12, the Versailles FFA participated in the State FFA Aquarium Management Career Development Event and placed fifth in the state and earned the fourth banner of the school year. The Aquarium Management CDE is designed to evaluate students’ knowledge on fish-keeping trends and practical application of skills in the aquarium industry. The team consisted of Tessa Tyo, Taylor Tyo, Andrew Harshbarger, PJ Platfoot, Lindsay Schultz, Sarah Hart, Anna Barlage, Ethan Davis, Justin Besecker, Kristin Heitkamp, and Brooke Stuck. The team was led by Tessa Tyo who placed seventh out of over 70 individuals. The team thanks Angie of Pet Valu in Greenville for hosting a practice.

the second part of the program. A casket followed by a grieving family was difficult for some of the students to take in. It was a scene that happened in real life a little over a year ago. This year’s senior and freshman class know too well the grief and pain of losing members of their class. The Franklin Monroe community was hit by tragedy on Dec. 21, 2015 when brother and sister Hudson Nestor and Katlynn Nestor lost their lives in an automobile accident. Hudson would have been part of the 2017 graduating class and Katlynn would have been a freshman this year. The students also heard from a mother that lost a son in an accident in 2010. Her husband was disabled from the accident. The entire family and their friends were victims of a person who decided to drive impaired. The mother said, “I will grieve the loss of my
son until the day I die.” The younger sister of a woman who was killed in a crash told students she lost her best friend. She was in a car with a driver who was impaired. The driver is currently serving a prison sentence. Principal PJ Burgett was pleased with the way his students accepted the message. Some students were overcome by the scene and left the gymnasium or stayed in their seat after the program to gather their composure.

ARCANUM – A recent mission project took place at Arcanum Faith United Methodist Church during the month of April in honor of Judith Fourman. Judy, wife of Alan Fourman, was co-owner of the Ben Franklin store and familiar business and community leader in Arcanum. She was also a long time volunteer on the Faith UMC Missions Committee and helped to make a difference by helping with projects that touched people locally, across the United States, and globally. She was especially talented with sewing and creative crafts. She often worked on those projects while relaxing in her cab-
in in the Fourmans’ woods on Arcanum-Bears Mill Road. Judy passed away on Nov. 9, 2016. Her birthday was April 13. In her honor, Faith Church has purchased “woods themed” gifts from Heifer International. Included in the purchase are flocks of ducks/geese, tree seedlings, honeybees, schools of fish, and several trios of rabbits. Gifts to Heifer International bring promise to hungry families and the opportunity for a better life to the less fortunate. The pastor of Arcanum UM Church is Tim Pieper. This mission minded church is located at 101 East South Street, Arcanum.

Fitzwater Tree & Lawn Care plants Arbor Day tree at fairgrounds CLINTON RANDALL
STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – As in years past, Fitzwater Tree & Lawn Care took the time to honor Arbor Day with the planting of a tree. On Tuesday, the Fitzwater staff was joined by children from The Workshop Learning Center to plant a white oak tree at the Darke County Fairgrounds. Before the kids grabbed their shovels to fill in the dirt for the new tree, Fitzwater Office Manager Tammy Pietrzak took a moment to explain the importance of Arbor Day. “We want to thank Michelle for bringing all you
awesome youngsters from The Workshop Learning Center to dedicate and plant this tree in honor of Arbor Day,” she added. “We also want to thank Brian Rismiller from the Darke County Fairgrounds for providing this wonderful spot to plant this beautiful white oak tree. And, thank you to The Early Bird for joining us to capture the moment.” The Arbor Day tradition started in 1874 to plant trees every year contributing to millions planted each year estimated at five trees for every person in the U.S. Learn more about Arbor Day Foundation at www. arborday.org
GREENVILLE – The rain, wind and cooler temperatures forced a change in venue for the annual National Day of Prayer celebration. St. Paul’s Episcopal Church opened its doors for the annual rally. Typically, the event is held on the steps of the Greenville City Building. Pastor John Monroe, of Pyrmont United Methodist Church, represented the sentiments of 70 or more people gathered for the event, “It’s much more comfortable in here than in the rain and wind.” Pastor Monroe welcomed the guests and explained the purpose of the National Day of Prayer. “We’re here to pray.” He continued with II Chronicles 7:14, “if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” The nearly hour-long prayer service included prayers from local dignitaries, pastors, ministers and a student. Pastor Brian McGee of St. John’s Lutheran Church opened
the event with a prayer for the community. Additional prayers were given by Ben Thaeler of U.S. Representative Warren Davidson’s office for the government; Mike Bowers for businesses; Clinton Randall for media; Lauren Henry for the medical community; Chris Hadden, an eighth grader at St. Mary’s Catholic School, for education; John Wiltshire for overcoming addiction; Pastor John Monroe for the military; Rev. Joseph Soley for volunteers; and Pastor Bill Edwards for the church. Greenville High School students Samantha Buchy, Hayley Burns, McKenna Crews, Brianna Hartle and Kassidy York provided an outstanding rendition of the National Anthem. Mayor Steve Willman presented a proclamation from the city declaring May 4 as a National Day of Prayer in the City of Greenville. American Legion Post 140 presented the Colors for the event. The National Day of Prayer was first proclaimed by the Continental Congress in 1775 and this year marks the 66th consecutive observance of the National Day of Prayer, having been established by Congress in 1952. In 1989, both houses of Congress

passed legislation, which was signed by President Ronald Regan declaring the first Thursday of every
May as the National Day of Prayer. The special day has been observed in Greenville for several decades.

Students get a taste of county government SUSAN HARTLEY
STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com
DARKE COUNTY – Twenty-two high school students got a taste of how the county functions during County Government Day on Wednesday, May 3. Hosted by County Commissioners Mike Rhoades, Mike Stegall and Matt Aultman, students were divided into three groups and spent the morning touring different county organizations and offices with a commissioner as their official tour guide. The Darke County Sheriff’s Department was voted as their favorite tour with Capt. Ted Bruner, jail administrator, taking students through the sally
port, then inside to walk them through the process of what takes place when a suspect is brought in for processing. The term sally port, explained Bruner, comes from medieval times and means a secure room between two secured doors. “There’s no getting out of this building right now,” he told a group led by Commissioner Stegall. “Unless the control officer pushes a button.” As students entered the sheriff’s building, they watched a demonstration of what it’s like to be frisked, saw how deputies take fingerprints, visited the jail’s holding cell and peeked in rooms used by deputies and detectives for interrogation, as well as visitation booths and rooms used by a prison-
er’s attorney or pastor. Stegall’s group also met Sheriff Toby Spencer, who has worked with the sheriff’s department for 44 years – the last 24 as sheriff. When asked what he thought were the biggest changes during his career, Spencer said “technology. Everyday there’s something new. It’s hard to keep up with it.” Spencer explained to students it was important for the sheriff’s department to keep on top of technology in order to “keep you safe. And anybody traveling through the county, to keep them safe.” A brief tour of the county’s dispatch and detective facilities completed the tour. Ansonia senior Skylar
Marker said her favorite tour was at the Darke County Animal Shelter. “I’m a dog lover,” said Marker, who will be studying nursing at Indiana University this fall.. “They gave us a lot of good information and cleared up a lot of misinformation that I’d heard.” Other offices on the student tour included the Darke County Home, juvenile court, board of elections, health department, job and family services, solid waste district, One Stop, and county offices located inside the courthouse. Following the morning tours, the students were treated to a pizza lunch with commissioners and then attended the regular Wednesday session of commission.

According to Lynn Newbauer, president of Treaty City Seniors, Monday’s event was the second prom in the year and a half since the group started. “So many of the older people have never been to a prom before,” Newbauer said. The group, which includes senior citizens as well as special needs individuals, meets every week for a dance party, bringing participants from as far as Eaton and Richmond, Ind. “It keeps them young at heart. They enjoy the camaraderie,” Newbauer said. “You’ve got to get out and do something and have fun.” One Treaty City Senior, she said, lost his wife recently, but attends the weekly dances “because
he wants to be around people.” Newbauer said she encourages seniors to be active and “stay focused on what makes them happy and enjoy life. Focus on the good part” of life. One couple enjoying the prom, Ivan Baltes of Greenville and Betty Skates of Richmond have been dating for two years. Baltes said they met at a senior activity in Richmond and travel all around the area to attend senior dances and activities, including Liberty, Ind. and Greenfield, Ind. “I enjoy coming,” Skates said. “You never get too old to have fun.” Her date agreed. “Us old people have fun, too,” he said. The Treaty City Seniors prom-goers also selected a King and Queen during Monday’s event. According to Newbaurer, names were put into a bowl, and five women’s names were drawn for Queen and five men’s names for King. The group then voted, selecting Carl Mote as King and Julia May as Queen. Mote resides in Troy with his wife Donna. May of Greenville and her fiancé Scott Klopfer are busy planning their upcoming wedding. Music for the afternoon was provided by The Silvertones.

Golf outing supports Bridges to College
Deemed the fastest sport on four legs, the annual Flyball Tournament will return to the Darke County Fairgrounds.
Flyball Tournament returns on May 13 & 14 GREENVILLE – Are you ready? The dogs are back in town. Local Flyball Club, Extreme Insanity Dog Sports, is bringing flyball back to Greenville on May 13 & 14 from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. at the Darke County Fairgrounds Coliseum. It’s free to the public. Not sure what flyball is? It’s a four on four dog relay drag race where each team sends one dog at a time down a straight line course. It’s 51 feet over four jumps to a spring loaded box where a tennis ball awaits the dog. The dog catches the ball, returns back down the four jump course where the next dog is anxiously awaiting to start the course. Currently,
it takes less than 15 seconds for the world record run of four dogs, 32 jumps, 408 feet and four dead stops and turns. Now that’s a fun dog sport for all to watch. Come out for two fun filled days and cheer on the local and first Ohio team, Extreme Insanity Dog Sports, as they go head to head with some of the fastest teams in the world today in the fastest sport on four legs. They’d like to thank Arcanum’s Winery, A.R. WINERY, for sponsoring the tournament. For more information, call Russell at (937) 423-2546 or visit them at www.extremeinsanityflyball.com.

Poultry Days gives back to community VERSAILLES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Versailles Poultry Days, a volunteer based organization, is dedicated to serving the Versailles community by supporting community projects and activities that improve quality of life and create an inviting environment for people of all ages. Since 1952 Poultry Days has donated festival proceeds back into the community. Over the last 10years Poultry Days has donated more than $700,000 to the community and took time recently to recognize 2016-2017 donation recipients. Efforts to beneďŹ t the community are not limited to direct donations. Poultry Days owns and, in partnership with the Heritage Park Board, operates a 40acre public park including shelters, a pond, walking track and both soccer and baseball ďŹ elds which are available for community use and athletics. This investment keeps the cost for sports such as baseball and soccer low. Poultry Days also provides an opportunity for local non-proďŹ ts to conduct fundraising including Versailles Band Boosters, Rotary, Serendipity Mothers, YOLO and St. Denis Knights of Columbus. As an example, YOLO (You Only Live Once) has re-

cently announced plans to take this to another level. After taking over running the Poultry Days 5K in 2015, YOLO is investing proceeds from the 5K (and fundraising) into a plan to build an amphitheater at Heritage Park. Heritage Park, owned by Poultry Days, originally had an amphitheater built into its plans but that project was never completed. The Poultry Days Board has also conducted a blood drive for over 20 years and

Premier, United’s talks don’t affect WHC GREENVILLE – The mission of Wayne HealthCare is to provide quality care and promote wellness close to home. “We are proud to be an independent hospital with local control over our organization. The healthcare landscape is evolving and so is the dynamics of our hospital,” said Peggy Schultz, vice president of human resources at Wayne HealthCare. As a rural hospital, Wayne HealthCare strives to keep patients close to home. The hospital has collaborations with the Ohio State Health Network, Premier Health and several other healthcare facilities throughout the
state. These hospital collaborations help enhance the healthcare options for individuals in Darke County along with improving the operation efficiency at Wayne HealthCare. As a community stakeholder, we understand the affiliation with Premier Health is at the forefront of many local residents mind. “The partnership with Premier Health allows the hospital to provide additional medical services and resources to our community,” said Wayne Deschambeau, president and CEO at Wayne HealthCare. “The hospital is doing business as usual. We are not a part of the Premier Health
Network System,” said Deschambeau. The announcement of United Healthcare and Premier Health Network unable to reach an agreement on health plan negotiations has local residents concerned. The negotiations between United Healthcare and Premier Health do not affect the operations or services available at the hospital. Individuals with United HealthCare insurance plans may continue to utilize services at Wayne HealthCare. For more information about Wayne HealthCare, visit www.waynehealthcare.org.
