Stegall gets narrow victory over Kennedy SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – Darke County voters decided not to shake things up Tuesday, giving incumbent Mike Stegall another term as county commissioner. The close race – Stegall’s 3,153 votes to opponent John Kennedy’s 2,987 – was turbulent at times on social media. “Even though I didn’t win, maybe I brought some things to light,” Kennedy said, promising his supporters another chance to elect him to commission. “I’ll see you in two years.” Both Mike Rhoades and Matt Aultman will be up for re-election in 2020. When asked if he’d do anything differently in his next run for commission, Kennedy said: “I think I did everything the way I wanted to do it. I stood by my moral

standings and will continue to do it in the future.” Stegall, who will now serve a third term for Darke County, was pleased with Tuesday’s outcome. “I’m glad the people have decided to let me go one more term - my ﬁnal,” he said. “I want to thank the people of Darke County for putting their trust in me.” Stegall also noted many races on Tuesday’s ballot garnered new faces, speaking of both the 80th and 84th House Districts. “There were a lot of newcomers and the newcomers had a really good night.” Stegall went on to say “people are tired of the same old thing. I’m glad to see younger people get in.” Stegall’s name will appear on the November ballot as the Republican candidate for commissioner. No Democrats ran for the seat in the primary election.

Downtown Greenville parking to be affected during trial GREENVILLE - Due to security measures that are being taken during an upcoming trial at the Darke County courthouse in Greenville, parking will be restricted in certain areas around the courthouse. The following is subject to change based on the status of the trial and associated hearings. Parking restrictions are expected to take place on Wednesday May 16, Thursday, May 17, and Friday, May 18. The parking lot directly behind the courthouse will be closed off to public parking. There will be no parking on the street in the 100 block of West Fourth Street. There will be no parking on South Broadway in front of the Courthouse. The times of the parking restrictions are expected to be during business hours on those days, but are subject to extended times depending on how

long court remains in session on a given day. Deputies will make reasonable efforts to assist and accommodate members of the public that have disabilities/ADA parking needs in the area of the courthouse. Citizens with such needs will have to have the appropriately ADA placarded/permitted vehicles and have legitimate business in the courthouse area. The parking will be permitted temporarily to conduct business in the courthouse. The vehicle could be subject to search to maintain security of the area if they choose to park in this area. Entry to the courthouse will be restricted to the back entrance. Those entering the courthouse will be subject to search and will be asked to pass through a metal detection instrument, explained Chief Deputy Mark Whittaker.

Clark named OFD Parade grand marshal LINDA MOODY

CORRESPONDENT

ARCANUM – Lifelong area resident Dale Clark has been chosen to serve as parade marshal for the Old Fashioned Days Parade in Arcanum, set for May 1820. And, he’s looking forward to it. “For 35 years, I have been in Arcanum doing karaoke,” said Clark, who said he will do the same this year as he will be putting on karaoke on Friday night and will be there for the car show on Sunday at the festival. Clark’s name is synonymous with karaoke in the community. “For three years, every Saturday night, eight Friday nights, the summer picnic and car show when they had them, I set up at the Eagles.” he said.

“I very seldom do it now because it (karaoke) fell off like the hula hoop.” Clark said he grew up on Dull Road a half a mile west of his current residence on Arcanum-Hollansburg Road. “I was born in that house on Dull Road and lived there for 41 years,” he said. “My dad built this house in 1981 and we moved here in 2008

after my mother died.” The son of the late C.S. and Alfreda Clark, the parade marshal said he was the second of four children. His sisters are Marilyn Alexander, Susan Gray and Linda Yeoman. Clark and wife, the former Debbie Perry, have been married nearly 21 years, having wed on Pearl Harbor Day on Dec. 7. “We have had a lot of fun in 21 years taking our motor home and going camping,” he said. The couple met years ago in Greenville, went their separate ways and were reunited. “We have been together ever since,” she said. Clark has ﬁve children, Kirk Allen Clark, Kelly Spitler, Kris Clark, Kerry Fuson and Jason Perry, and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A U.S. Army veteran, he served from 1959-62, and

was in Korea in 1960 and 1961. “I’m a Korean veteran and proud of it,” he said. He is a lifetime member of the Arcanum Veterans of Foreign Wars. He invites people to the Arcanum festival and to stop by his stage. “Twentyfour feet of the awning on my stage is an American ﬂag like it’s waving,” he said. “It is work setting it all up.” He said he has met a lot of people in this area because of karaoke. Over the years, his karaoke and deejay services have taken him all over Ohio and into Indiana. His stage has been through many parades in the area, including the Mardi Gras in Winchester, Ind., parades in Celina and Fort Recovery, the Richmond Rose Festival, the Troy Strawberry Festival and the parade in Greenville.

Midmark named Business of the Year RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Darke County Economic Development Ofﬁce and Partnering for Progress held its annual Economic Forum on May 4 to put a spotlight on the progress being made in economic development and workforce development in Darke County. The forum also singles out a local business as the Business of the Year. This year’s award winner is Midmark Corporation. Darke County Economic Development Director Mike Bowers said, “When you look at a company that is so invested in the local community, the local ownership that is involved, what they allow that community to do…” He pointed to a proposal for two housing developments that would total over 100 new homes. “I don’t know those things would have moved forward without the commitment Versailles receives from Midmark Corporation,” he said. Midmark expects to break ground on a $45 mil-

lion research and development project this fall. Karl Weidner, vice-president of global supply chain for Midmark, said, “I’ve had the privilege and honor to work at Midmark for 37 years. I’m truly blessed. It all starts with our people.” The global company employs over 1,800 people around the globe with nearly half working in Versailles. They currently produce equipment for the medical, dental and animal health markets. Weidner said when he came to work for Midmark it was a $20 million business. Today, the company produces more than $400 million in business. He praised the strategy the business has taken to continue to grow and set standards in the industry. He pointed to the Midmark Experience, which includes its retreat area, Riverwatch in Webster, Inn at Versailles, Stillwater Golf Course and company jet. “When we get customers to Darke County and Versailles, we get the sale. I’m not talking 70 times out of 100, I’m talking 98 times out of 100 we get the sale. When they engage with our team they feel, see the dedication, the passion,

the commitment to excellence, the work ethic, we get the sale. It’s as simple as that. We will never, ever take that for granted.” More than 70 percent of Midmark’s sales dollars comes from equipment manufactured in Darke County. With the new research and development facility on the horizon, Midmark is transitioning into a “design company with a noble purpose.” “None of this, none of this, the growth, the success, the delivery of our brand promise, the execution of our corporate strategy,

would not be possible without help and we’ve received some tremendous help along the way,” Weidner said. He mentioned Partnering for Progress, Darke County Economic Development, Village of Versailles, Darke County Commissioners, ODOT, JobsOhio, and Dayton Development Coalition, but added there were many more. Bowers pointed out the success of Midmark has also led to other companies to open in Versailles that provides support to the Midmark, including Precision Fab Products, Inc., Kamps and Paramount Plastics.

Ofﬁcials give updates on airport, MARCS and jail clean-up SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – Upgrades at the Darke County Airport are set to begin Monday, May 14, which will result in the closing of the facility for 70-plus days, says Commissioner Matt Aultman. “It depends on the weather,” Aultman said of the actual days the airport

will be closed. Those with aircraft housed at the airport were given ample time to secure other storage options. Work to be completed will include grading and resurfacing of the runway as well as replacing all lighting with LED lights. * MARCS Update According to Chief Deputy Mark Whittaker, the MARCS radio system is still set to take effect on Monday, May 21.

“We don’t have a time yet, probably in the morning. We’ve been emailing all the chiefs,” with updates, Whittaker said. “As far as we know, barring any unforeseen circumstances or issues, May 21 is still the projected date.” County ofﬁcials have been participating in the testing of radios and equipment the past couple of weeks in preparation for the transition.

*Jail Update On Wednesday, May 9, the sheriff’s ofﬁce received test results following the methamphetamine clean up at the county jail. “At least two areas came back positive for meth,” Whittaker said. “The cleaning company will be sending a contractor back to the sheriff’s ofﬁce Thursday (May 10) morning and will be using different chemicals. We can’t bring anyone into

the jail until these areas are deemed not to be contaminated.” The jail was evacuated on April 17, after a prisoner threw a bag of meth while in the processing portion of the facility, which was the most contaminated area, Whittaker explained. Darke County’s 30-plus inmates remain in Miami and Mercer county jails – with Darke County paying up to $60 per day per in-

mate. Whittaker said he stressed the importance of immediacy in getting the jail back up and running with the contractor responsible for the cleanup, Advanced Bio Treatment of Florida. Following the May 10 clean-up, samples will be sent overnight to a lab for testing, with hopes of getting results within a couple of days, Whittaker said.

During the investigation, two subjects from another home in the 200 block of Harrison Avenue told the ofďŹ cer they also saw the incident and heard Pollard banging on the window from inside the residence. Both witnesses stated they saw Pollard standing in the picture window naked. The witnesses also told the ofďŹ cer there were children playing in the neighborhood at the time of the incident. The ofďŹ cer went to the home where Pollard was exposing himself. His girlfriend answered the door and said Pollard was lying on the couch and that he was drunk. The of ofďŹ cer entered the residence after being invited inside. Pollard was found lying on the couch and he appeared to be highly intoxicated. It also appeared he was naked and wrapped up in a blanket. He was barely coherent to acknowledge the ofďŹ cerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence. He was issued citation for disorderly conduct. The ofďŹ cer obtained written statements from all witnesses. Menacing

On May 6 an ofďŹ cer was dispatched to the 200 block of Gray Avenue on the report of menacing. The ofďŹ cer spoke with the complainant, who said he could hear the defendant, Carissa Foster outside on her porch, yelling profanities. The complainant said he asked Foster to go inside if she was going to yell. Foster became agitated and began yelling obscenities and threats at the complainant. She also started to throw various pieces of trash off the porch. While the ofďŹ cer was speaking with the complainant, Foster came outside her house and began screaming and making threats at the ofďŹ cer, including saying she was going to â&#x20AC;&#x153;blow you upâ&#x20AC;? and threatened bodily harm. The ofďŹ cer approached Foster to talk to her about the incident. She eventually walked inside her house, leaving her dogs outside to wander around the neighborhood.

The ofďŹ cer told Foster to get her dogs and she refused. She continued to yell out a window. Another neighbor approached the ofďŹ cer to report Foster also had been yelling and making threats at her. According to the neighbor, Foster also pulled down her shorts and exposed herself. Foster was arrested for menacing. She again threatened the ofďŹ cer. She was transported to the Miami County Jail where she was incarcerated with a $250 bond. The Darke County Humane Society came to the scene and collected Fosterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dogs. Breaking and Entering

On May 7 an ofďŹ cer was called to Wayne Crossing apartments, on East Russ Road in reference to a subject breaking into a residence. The ofďŹ cer located the defendant, Matthew Stokes, who was noticeably intoxicated with bloodshot eyes. He also was loud and had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage around his person. Stokes told the ofďŹ cer he had been knocking on windows in the area. The ofďŹ cer spoke to the complainant who advised she walked outside her apartment and noticed Stokes removing a screen to the window in an apartment located on the north side of the building. She said it appeared Stokes was going to make entry into the apartment by climbing through the window. The ofďŹ cer spoke to the resident at the apartment in question, who claimed she heard the defendant knocking on her door/ window. When she went to investigate, she located Stokes on her front porch. Stokes told her he was going to bring â&#x20AC;&#x153;the painâ&#x20AC;? and ďŹ&#x201A;ipped her off. She later found out Stokes was trying to get into her sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room by climbing through a window. Through an investigation it was found Stokes had returned to the apartment complex after ofďŹ cers warned him for disorderly earlier in the day. The earlier call was at apartment building 882, where Stokes was visiting a friend. When Stokes returned to the apartment complex he went to apartment building 892

Driver in Walgreens robbery to serve six years BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The driver of the vehicle involved in the Jan. 6 armed robbery at Walgreens in Greenville will spend the next six years in prison. Antwan Thompson, now 18, was one of four juveniles who were charged with the robbery, which netted $10,000 in prescription drugs. Thompson, who was 17 when the offense took place, is from Indianapolis, said assistant prosecutor Deborah Quigley. Thompson remained in a minivan while three other juveniles went inside the store around 5 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 6. Two of the juveniles went behind the drug counter area and demanded drugs. One juvenile remained near the front of the store, Quigley said. On Thursday, May 10, Thompson entered a

guilty plea before Judge Jonathan P. Hein in Darke County Common Pleas Court. He was initially charged with one count of aggravated robbery which carries a gun speciďŹ cation with a mandatory threeyear prison sentence, and one count of receiving stolen property. As part of the mutually agreed upon plea deal between the state and Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney, David Rohrer, the second charge was dropped. Hein accepted Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guilty plea and sentenced him to three years for the robbery charge with an additional three years for the gun speciďŹ cation, to run consecutively. Thompson will be eligible for judicial release af after three and a half years. When given the opportunity to speak, Thompson asked Hein if after three and a half years he would consider a judicial release. Hein told Thompson if an early release motion is ďŹ led it would be considered and that he would â&#x20AC;&#x153;look at the institutionalâ&#x20AC;? reports that will be kept concerning Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior in prison along with any progress he is making to reform his behavior. Hein also told Thompson he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x153;expect you to be be perfect in prison. Not many areâ&#x20AC;? and cautioned him to resist pressure from older people who â&#x20AC;&#x153;are putting young people up to this kind of conduct. That can happen in prison too.â&#x20AC;? Thompson, who is a father and was supposed to graduate this spring, told Hein â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know I made a mistake. I need to deal with it like a man.â&#x20AC;? Rohrer told Hein he has â&#x20AC;&#x153;seen somewhat of a change in Antwan since the beginning. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see if he has a desire in prison to better himself.â&#x20AC;?

Less than 24 percent turnout out for election in Darke County BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The votes are in and just under 24 percent of Darke County’s registered voters turned out for an election that could possibly decide Darke County’s Commission race. Several local issues were also on the ballot as well as an opportunity for Republican, Democrat and Green Party voters to choose their candidates for the General Election in November. Luke Burton, director of the Darke County Board of Elections, said, “It was what I expected,” when asked about the turnout. He noted he looked at the previous two Gubernatorial Primaries and the turnout was hovering around the 21-22 percent mark.

Without a Democrat or Independent candidate, the Republican Commission race took on greater signiﬁcance. The result was a 166 vote difference with Mike Stegall earning the Republican nod over election newcomer John Kennedy. By a 67 percent margin, Darke County voters said yes to Issue 1. With a 65-vote margin, Mississinawa Valley School District voters said yes to a 1 mill, ﬁve-year tax levy renewal. Liquor options for Sunday Sales in Greenville Township West and Washington Township and Spirituous Liquor Sales in Washington Township passed. In choosing candidates to represent Darke, Miami, Mercer and Auglaize counties in Columbus,

Republican voters narrowly chose Susan Manchester over Travis Faber and Aaron Heilers in the 84th District. Jena Powell was the Republican choice for the 80th District won in a landslide with nearly 50 percent over her three competitors. 84th District – Susan Manchester (5,398 – 36.67%), Travis Faber (4,713 – 32.02%), and Aaron Heilers (4,608 – 31.31%). Faber had a narrow had a 411 voter victory over Manchester in Darke County. Manchester will now face Joseph Monbeck in the November General Election. 80th District – Jena Powell (7,225 – 49.54%), John W. O’Brien (3,054 – 20.94%), J.D. Winteregg (2,747 – 18.84%), and George Lovett – 10.68%).

Powell easily won Darke County with 70.27% of the vote over Winteregg’s 14.18%. Powell will go head-tohead with the Democrat’s Scott R. Zimmerman who was a write-in candidate in the Primary. In other contested races, Darke County Democrats followed the state’s lead in choosing Richard Cordray to be their choice for governor and Vanessa Enoch to face Republican Warren Davidson for a seat in Congress for the 8th District on the ballot in November. Darke County Republicans followed suit with the rest of the state to choose Mike DeWine to appear on the ballot in November to face Cordray. For Treasurer of State, local Republicans chose Sandra

O’Brien, but the overall state vote will put Robert Sprague on the ballot to face Rob Richardson (D) and Paul Curry (G). For U.S. Senate, Darke Countians chose Mike Gibbons, but the rest of the state chose Jim Renacci to face incumbent Senator Sherrod Brown in the fall. Local contested races had Steven A. Bruns knocking off Doug Cook

for R-State Central Committee Man 5th and Lisa A. Hayes had more votes in the county than Mary Beth Kemmer for R-Central Committee Woman 5th, but with the Miami County vote, but it was Kemmer on top in the three-county race.

Gettysburg man guilty of trafﬁcking BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – A Gettysburg man was given 60 months community control sanctions after entering a guilty plea to trafficking in marijuana on Monday, May 7. Cory Scarioni was charged in February with possession and trafficking in marijuana following a joint investigation between the Darke County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. Post office employees became suspicious after receiving packages from a California address to a Gettysburg P.O. Box. The packages contained nearly 17 pounds of marijuana. Scarioni also is wanted on a warrant in California. On Monday, Judge Jonathan P. Hein accepted Scarioni’s guilty plea to trafficking in marijuana, dropping the possession charge. According to defense attorney Randall Breaden, Scarioni left California because he “didn’t want his children to be forced into a gang like he was.” Breaden also called Scarioni’s actions “a crime, based on an economic situation.”

Hein gave Scarioni a chance to speak. “I take full ownership, full responsibility,” he said, asking Hein for “a shot to be a contributing member of society.” Hein told Scarioni “everything you said makes zero sense,” noting how there was work available for job seekers in Darke County. “You got your shot in California.” Although assistant prosecutor Jim Bennett recommended Scarioni receive 24 months in prison, Hein explained he would not order a prison sentence. “Sending you to prison in all likelihood you would commit more crimes coming out, a

repeat offender.” Hein told Scarioni the adult probation department would set his level of supervision, also speaking of Scarioni’s wife, who was in the courtroom on Monday. “She’s (his wife) going to be part of the team. It’s not a pass, it’s a chance.” Hein also ordered the filing fugitive from justice to allow California officials access to Scarioni. As part of his community control sanctions, Scarioni agreed to random urinalysis, 100 hours of community service and a $5,000 fine. The Gettysburg man could have received three years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

This $11,000 project was made possible through the Queen of Hearts at the Whistle Stop last year. Four of the organizations which the Whistle Stop ofďŹ cials donated money to as a result of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sales of Queen of Hearts tickets made this project possible, according to Village Administrator Tom Welbaum.

Warren Davidson Changes Spots

Initially I voted for Warren Davidson. He looked GREAT on paper! He sounds great too. Eloquent, educated, looks like a real leader. But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heartless. He has no soul. He has certain topics he will speak on and warp things skillfully his way. But he throws out with police escort, anyone in a town hall who wants to talk about topics that are meaningful to his constituents. Oh wait, he threw half the town hall out! https:// twitter.com/KatieWedell/status/851951016077602817 Because I was there and one of them! All questions he takes are prescreened, with his answers prepared. He sounded like he was going to stand up for Veterans. What he meant was... he was going to stand up for 1/10th of veterans. Once he deselected the rest. https://www.daytondailynews.com/news/warren-davidson-get-moochers-out-health-system/6LeXZwZRLoiPiTZw2Frq0O/ If he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to pay 90% of the veteran support teams that keep a combat veteran in combat, he can save a lot of money! So letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just call 90% of those who took the oath to defend our country â&#x20AC;&#x153;moochersâ&#x20AC;? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Washington swamp rat. Do I sound disgruntled?

Ohio 4-H Teen of the Year

In only 7 daysâ&#x20AC;Śpolicies were proposed, friendships formed, laughs were shared, memories were made, and lives were changed during the annual 91st National 4-H Conference! National 4-H Conference is the premier opportunity for 4-H youth to civically engage in their country and world. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conference hosts delegates from 47 states, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Ohio boasted a strong delegation of 9 youth representing the Ohio 4-H Teen Leadership Council (TLC). Thanks to the generosity of the Ohio 4-H Foundation Board we ďŹ&#x201A;ew to Washington DC and spent the ďŹ rst half of the Saturday touring. Saturday evening, National 4-H Conference was kicked off! Delegates took the opportunity to network with each other, share unique facts about their respective states, and participate in the great lapel pin exchange. The following days we delegates were split up into our respective roundtable topics. I was privilege to serve on the policy roundtable. Each roundtable, facilitated by collegiate 4-H alumni, was posed a question by government agencies. Through research and team work a professional formal proposal was drafted, rehearsed and then presented to each individual federal agency. The youth

policy roundtable workshop gave a fearless and concise presentation to the US Department of Health and Human Services on the adoption of a US youth policy. Our government ofďŹ cials were well receptive of our presentation and a continued partnership will see this policy to completion. After our presentations, the Ohio delegates enjoyed a night out including a monument tour, and a delightful dinner at La Porta Italian restaurant. We used learned skills from 4-H to maneuver our way around the city via subway, and dining at an upscale restaurant. Throughout the week the delegates participated in various activities at the National 4-H Conference center including hearing United States Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Purdue and President and CEO of National 4-H Council Jennifer Sirangelo address us. Our last day in the capital city was spent at none other than the US Capitol, visiting with legislators advocating for youth development programs such as 4-H, cooperative extensions, and agriculture. I had the privilege to visit with Congressman Warren Davidson of Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 8th districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ ce. National 4-H Conference was a once in a lifetime experience for the hundreds of 4-Hers and left passion in our hearts to civically engage in our clubs, our communities, our country, and our world.

Honoring my mother on Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Lindaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mood Swings by Linda Moody bluebagmedia.com

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to reďŹ&#x201A;ect on what my mother, Bea (Riffell) Moody, has been like. This 90-year-old woman was a strong woman, but has slowed down somewhat. She is quite the character and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking she keeps the staff at Heartland of Greenville entertained. She taught us a lot and she could do everything. I think the only time I ever saw her cry was at the funeral of our great-grandmother. Either she could handle sadness well or she hid the tears from us. In her day, Mom could cook, sew, make crafts and wooden items, cut the hair of both males and females, raised gardens, beautifully wrapped the gifts she bought, butchered chickens, canned and froze food for our consumption all year long, wall-papered many a room not only for herself but others, helped remodel our home when needed and she even roofed a house. All this and she could take care of all of us. And others. I remember when she took our Grandma Phoebe in and cared for her, and when our cousinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mother and her husband were injured (he fatally, in a train crash), she brought their children into our home for a short while. Mom said she wanted to be a nurse and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m wondering if it stemmed from the time she was in the hospital as a child for quite a time after she and the bike she was riding were struck by a vehicle. She lost a bone in her left leg as a result and was in a wheelchair for a long time. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if there was anything she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do. I do know that she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to swim because she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like water splashed in her face, but who does. Yes, she is a great mother, and I sure wish I could

Greenville’s Tyler Beyke tosses perfect game vs. Meadowdale GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville’s Tyler Beyke was perfect as the sophomore took the mound for the Wave baseball team in the opening round of 2018 OHSAA Division II tournament play and came away with a 21-0 perfect game win over the Meadowdale Lions. “What I wanted Beyke to do today was go out and throw strikes and get it over in ﬁve innings – and in ﬁve-innings he faced 15 batters and he struck out 14 of

them – under 60 pitches,” said Greenville Coach Eric Blumenstock. “He was efficient. He got us out of here, exactly what we wanted.” Beyke faced the minimum 15 batters in the fiveinning run-rule victory battling back from a 3-1 count to strikeout the final Meadowdale hitter of the night. “I was just trying to put it in there for strikes – throw strikes,” Beyke said of the 3-1 count. “I was just trying to throw strikes like I was the whole game.” “They were nice and they were good sports and I enjoyed it,” Beyke said of the Meadowdale players. Greenville jumped out

to a 13-0 first-inning lead and never looked back as the team would add three runs in the second, three in the third and two runs in the bottom of the fourth, the team’s final at-bat of the night. Coach Blumenstock used his entire team including four junior varsity players that were added to the team roster for the tournament run. “Two different teams got to play tonight,” said Blumenstock. “My starters went the first full inning then I switched eight subs in there and a couple freshmen got in. It’s always a good experience to get

some tournament play for the young kids.” Ethan Flannery, Marcus Wood, and Kyle Mills each had a two-hit night for the Green Wave, while the defense, like Beyke was perfect on the night. While coach Blumenstock was being interviewed by the Early Bird Newspaper, team members doused the Greenville coach with the large Gatorade bucket of ice water bringing a “DANG, that’s cold” from Coach Blumenstock.

Arcanum downs Bulldogs to advance in tournament play BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

ARCANUM – The Arcanum Trojans defeated the Milton-Union Bulldogs baseball team 4-3 to advance in OHSAA D-III tournament play. “I told the guys the other day, everybody in the state of Ohio is 0-0 now,” said Arcanum Coach Randy Baker following his teams Wednesday night win. “We are 1-0 now so we’ll keep going.” The Bulldogs jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the ﬁrst before the Trojans would come to the plate. Arcanum plated a run in the bottom of the second getting a two-out double off the bat of Michael Fecker followed by a RBI single from Cambell Gostomsky to trail 2-1 after two. The Trojans evened the score at 2-2 in the bot-

tom of the fifth with Wade Meeks reaching first by way of a Bulldogs’ error, stealing second and racing home on an Evan Atchley RBI single to right. The Trojans’ defense kept the visitors off the board in innings two through six with the outfield coming up with several big plays to keep the game close. “Dylan Lumpkin made a couple of nice plays in the outfield,” said Baker. “Cut a ball off that was probably going to be a double – kept him to a single and didn’t allow that run to get to second. That was huge. All three seniors stepped up tonight and did their job.” Lane Byrne opened the bottom of the sixth driving a Trojans’ single to right with Fecker reaching first with the Bulldogs’ throw going into right field for an error sending Byrne to third and Fecker to sec-

ond. A strikeout and a squeeze bunt backfired putting runners on the corners with two outs. MiltonUnion misplayed a Cole Spitler smash to first that went to the outfield scoring two Trojans runs to give the home team a 4-2 lead with the game heading to the seventh inning of play. “Cole Spitler, a two strike count there and hit a ball to the right side,” Baker said. “Fortunate the ball got through and scored two runs – excellent job there.” The Bulldogs added a run in the top of the seventh but came up short with Meeks coaxing a popup to Spitler at second to secure a 4-3 Trojans win. “Kaleb Shilt had an offnight at the plate but took one in the chest for the team, true team player” said Baker. “Kept the ball in the infield, basically saved

NEW MADISON – Tri-Village senior Kathryn Combs, the daughter of Madonna and Eric Veitch signed with the Wittenberg University Tigers track and field team. “I think it’s really beneficial for me in the long run,” Combs said of her Monday signing. “It’s my dream to do track and field at college and continue my athletic career.” “I am super excited for her,” noted Tri-Village track and field coach Christy Sarver. “She has worked really hard and this is something that she deserves.

Christman & Shaffer combine for Greenville Lady Wave perfect game GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Lady Wave got three perfect innings from sophomore Caitlin Christman and two innings of perfect work from GHS freshman Grace Shaffer to combine for a perfect game tournament win over the Trotwood-Madison Lady Rams by a 14-0 score.

“A great day for Lady Wave Softball,” said Greenville coach Jerrod Newland. “Starting out the tournament season and eight in a row is the goal. To get the ﬁrst step on the ladder is awesome today.” Greenville coach Jerrod Newland had many of his starters giving up their spikes for tennis shoes, putting a young lineup on the ﬁeld to face the Lady Rams in the opening round of

OHSAA tournament play. “This is the ﬁrst step today and just proud of the kids,” Newland stated. “A lot of kids getting some opportunities out there making the most of it playing for the name on the front.” The Lady Wave plated four runs in the ﬁrst inning, added four in the second, four in the third and two in the bottom of the fourth to take the game by a 14-0 score.

Greenville’s Owen Paulus throws no-hitter to down Xenia BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville road the arm of Mount Vernon Nazarene University signee Owen Paulus as the tall lefthander kept the Xenia Buccaneers off balance in eight innings of nohit baseball with the Wave getting a walk-off single off the bat of Tyler Beyke for a 1-0 extra-inning win. “Owen was on his game tonight and was hitting his spots pretty much perfect,” said Greenville coach Eric Blumenstock. “He had all the kids off balance. Beyke came up with a big walkoff hit in the last inning to score Eldridge from third with two outs.” “All glory to God,” Paulus said following the win. “One of my goals in my high school career was to get a no-hitter and it came true tonight. Just a total blessing.” “It was long, but there towards the end I knew I had to do my best for the team,” added Paulus. “I just tried to throw it as hard as I could and get it in there.”ss Xenia entered play at Sater Park, Home of the Green Wave with 19 wins on the season while holding down ﬁrst place in the GWOC American South division with a comfortable lead. What turned out to be a pitchers dual between Xenia’s Dylan Hall and the Wave’s Paulus went to extra innings with Landon Eldridge legging out a one-

“It’s funny – 49 teams start the day in the region and when the day is over half of them are gone,” said Coach Newland. “Just any day you can punch your ticket and move on. It’s a blessing and just excited for the 28 team tournament season and moving forward.” Greenville pounded out 11 hits on the night with nine Lady Wave picking up hits. Courtney Byson and Allison Powel each accounted for two hits on the night. The Lady Wave played ﬂawless in the ﬁeld while Christman was throwing seven strikeouts and Shaffer was fanning two Lady Rams.

out infield single, moving to second on a sacrifice bunt off the bat of Marcus Wood and racing to third on a passed ball to put the speedy Eldridge in scoring position with two outs in the bottom of the eighth. Tyler Beyke followed with a hard single to the right side scoring Eldridge giving the Greenville second baseman an eighth inning walk-off hit and give GHS seniors, Kyle Mills, Karsyn Fender, Cameron Kaiser and Own Paulus a senior night to remember. “Eight innings – compete game no hitter,” Blumenstock stated. “It was probably around the fourth or fifth inning,” Paulus noted of when he knew things were go-

ing his way. “I was starting to really kind of get a pump-up. My changeup started working and the kid leaned into my curveball and the ump let him have the “walk” and that kind of ticked me off. I was pumped up for the rest of the game – ready to go.” Coach Blumenstock not only was impressed with his senior lefthander’s nohitter, but the control Paulus had the entire game noted by the number of pitches thrown. “The impressive thing is Owen threw eight innings and he was still under 100 pitches,” said Blumenstock. “He was throwing strikes and he was getting them to hit his pitch all night long.”

MARIA STEIN – The Greenville Green Wave representing the Greater Western Ohio Conference (GWOC) and the Marion Local Flyers representing the Midwest Athletic Conference (MAC) went headto-head in a Saturday doubleheader on the Flyers’ home ﬁeld with the Green Wave coming away with a two-game sweep by scores of 5-3 and 9-0. “We played well today,” said Greenville coach Eric Blumenstock. “We don’t normally play that early and I think it took a little bit for the guys to warm up, but we got it going.” Cameron Kaiser got the win for the Wave in game one, a game the Wave led the entire way, tossing six innings of six hit ball, striking out six while giving up three runs. “I can’t say enough about what Cameron Kaiser did,” Blumenstock said. “It was nice to see Cameron go out there as a senior and get a win.” Mills went the distance in game two tossing a one-hitter, striking out 14 Flyers on his way to a 9-0

shutout in his final regular season career game on the mound for Greenville. “Kyle was outstanding on the mound today,” Blumenstock said of his senior starter. “He has really been pitching well as we’ve gotten into the season.” Greenville jumped on Marion Local early, scoring a run in the top of the first inning and five in the second to lead 6-0 with the Flyers coming to the plate in the bottom of the second. The Wave made it a 9-0

game scoring three runs in the top of the fourth in what would be the ﬁnal score of the game. Marion Local is known for its successful sports programs, including OHSAA state championships in football and basketball this year and the Flyers are always a class act when playing Greenville. “They are a great group of kids – they always are,” Coach Blumenstock said of Marion Local. “We enjoy coming over here.”

Bock-style beers discussed at library GREENVILLE – Bockstyle beers have a long history in Germany. First brewed in the northern city of Einbeck in the 14th century, Bock made its way to Munich in Bavaria and blossomed into an array of related styles. One such beer was ﬁrst brewed by monks to sustain themselves during their Lenten fasts as “liquid bread.” Another was developed by a female brewer in tribute to her recently-deceased husband. The Bock family has a rich history, and many are traditionally brewed during the spring months.

In this class, they will discuss the fascinating history of Bock beer styles. The Craft Beer Education Series is lead by David Nilsen, Certiﬁed Cicerone. He will guide attendees through a tasting of ﬁve beer styles, explaining the history and unique ingredients and brewing processes of each. Join the Greenville Public Library on Thursday, May 24 at 6:30 p.m. at the library. Craft Beer Education Series classes are free, but seats are limited and registration is required. Call the library at 937-548-3915 to reserve your seat.

Saving for College? Consider a 529 Plan

Do you know about 529 savings plans? If not, you are not alone – although these plans have been around since 1996, many people are still unaware of them. And that’s unfortunate, because a 529 plan can be a valuable tool for anyone who wants to help a child, grandchild, friend or other family member save for education expenses. Here are some of the key benefits of a 529 plan: • Potential tax advantages – A 529 plan’s earnings are not subject to federal income taxes, as long as withdrawals are used for qualified education expenses (tuition, room and board, etc.) of the designated beneficiary, such as your child or grandchild. (You will be subject to ordinary income taxes, plus a 10 percent federal penalty, on the earnings portion of withdrawals not used for qualified education expenses.) • High contribution limits – Contribution limits are generally quite high for most states’ 529 plans. However, you could possibly incur gift tax consequences if your contributions, plus any other gifts, to a particular beneficiary exceed $15,000 during a single year. • Ability to switch beneficiaries – As the old song goes, “The future is not ours to see.” You might name a particular child or grandchild as a beneficiary of a 529 savings plan, only to see him or her decide not to go to college after all. But as the owner of the plan, you generally may be able to switch beneficiaries whenever you like, right up to the point when they start taking withdrawals. (To make this switch non-taxable and penaltyfree, you must designate a new beneficiary who is a member of the same family as the original beneficiary.) • Freedom to invest in any state’s plan –You can invest in the 529 plan offered by any state, regardless of

where you live. But if you invest in your own state’s plan, you might receive some type of state tax benefit, such as a deduction or credit. Additional benefits also may be available. • Flexibility in changing investments –You can switch investment options in your 529 plan up to twice a year. Or, if you’d rather take a more hands-off approach, you could select an automatic age-based option that starts out with a heavier emphasis on growth-oriented investments and shifts toward less risky, fixed-income vehicles as the beneficiary approaches college age. While a 529 plan clearly offers some benefits, it also raises some issues about which you should be aware. For example, when colleges compute financial aid packages, they may count assets in a 529 plan as parental assets, assuming the parents are the plan owners. To clarify the impact of 529 plans on potential financial aid awards, you might want to consult with a college’s financial aid officer. One final note: In previous years, 529 plans were limited to eligible colleges, universities and trade schools, but starting in 2018, you can also use up to $10,000 per year, per beneficiary, from a 529 plan to pay for tuition expenses at public, private or religious elementary and secondary schools. (Not all states recognize K-12 expenses as qualifying for 529 plan benefits, so consult your local tax advisor before investing.) Education is a great investment in a child’s future. And to make that education more affordable, you might want to make your own investment in a 529 plan. Edward Jones, its employees and financial advisors cannot provide tax or legal advice. You should consult your attorney or qualified tax advisor regarding your situation.

PERI will host Carles at June meeting GREENVILLE – There is a whole lot of action going on at PERI. Public Employee Retirees, who are PERI members with OPERS pension plans, recently learned their statewide combined efforts paid off when it was announced their Cost of Living Beneﬁts (COLAS) would not be reduced as was proposed under HB 413 which Karen Carraher, executive director of OPERS, was promoting. However, the bill failed to pass thanks to the efforts of Steve Toth, who is a trustee on the OPERS Board of Directors, John DiPietro, who is PERI’s District Three representative, which serves eight counties, including Darke, and thousands of PERI retirees throughout the State of Ohio, who took the time

to protest the legislation. While this was a major win for Darke County PERI retirees as well as other members of PERI chapters throughout the state, it demonstrates in no uncertain terms that retirees have tremendous power if only they are willing to make the time to take action. Their letters, telephone calls and face to face contact spoke loud and clear that they won’t leave their destiny to chance but to choice – their choice. As a result, the more voices there are to speak out the more powerful PERI becomes. However, the Darke County PERI Chapter offers more to its members than stopping unfair legislation. In fact, its members are offered programs and

speakers that are not only educational but which can help better their lives in many ways. From doctors to holistic specialists, from lawyers to judges, from a veteran administrator to a money manager, each bimonthly meeting features a different and interesting speaker. As an example, Amy Carles, Senior Outreach & Education Specialist with the Ohio Consumers Council, will be the featured speaker at the PERI luncheon meeting on Monday, June 4, which begins at 11:30 a.m. at the VEW on Ohio Street, Greenville. Focusing on Smart Energy Living, she will not only offer ways to save money on natural gas, electric and water bills by making nocost or low-cost changes

He is the group’s master leatherworker, tailor, artistic vision, saddle maker and armourer. Seth, of Greenville, is in his second year of jousting. He just had a successful warm up joust at the Ashville Viking Festival having a perfect session in the final joust of Sun. Elijah, of Greenville, is in his first year of jousting. He made his debut at the Ashville Viking Festival. Elijah got the “horse bug” his first time meeting them and plans to keep horses the rest of his life. He is going to Sullivan University this fall to become a Chef. Head Judge Patrick, of Union City, Ohio, has been riding nearly as long as he has been walking. His motto is – “If it involves a

horse I’m game.” Over the years Patrick’s mounted pursuits have lead him from equine trainer specializing in bomb proofing, to rancher. Never one to rest on his accomplishments, Patrick’s most recent equestrian challenge has been the worlds of Historical and Entertainment Jousting. Pat is an advisor to the Silver Hoofs 4H club, and an active member of the Miami Valley Mounted Search and Rescue Team.

GREENVILLE – Fish Choice Pantry at 400 Markwith in Greenville would like to show its appreciation for any deployed or active duty military personnel who hail from Darke County.

and APO address; email kristy@fishofdarke.org or call 1-937-316-8420.” Cutarelli said, “We feel like we wanted to find a way to show appreciation to the volunteers who work so hard all the time. I think it’s very important to show support for our troops.

GREENVILLE – Hundreds of local residents gathered at the Darke County Fairgrounds on May 5 for a common purpose – babies. The annual March for Babies is a fundraising event for the March of Dimes to support research into ﬁnding solutions to premature births and birth defects so no mother/family has to endure heartache. Hallie McIntyre, development manager for March of Dimes Greater Dayton Market, was pleased with the turnout and pointed out the fundraising effort was tremendous. They are hoping to have the ﬁnal totals soon. Katie Light, mother of four-year-old Lydia, shared their story with walkers.

Hospital. Light said, “We are so honored to be here today. I know there are so many here that have a story just like ours. All of us here are connected either by experience or commitment to helping all families enjoy the experience of healthy babies.” As she recalled the events surrounding Lydia’s birth, she commented that it was one of the most difﬁcult experiences a parent can have. “Serving as the Ambassador Family is a way to show our gratitude for our March of Dimes programs that helped our family,” Light concluded. Terri Flood, emcee for the program, joined the Light family on stage to explain the lei ceremony. Flood said, “This purple lei is to symbolize the journey that all of you have taken together and to honor the strength and support that brought you here today.” Lydia placed the lei around her mother’s neck.

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Youth for Christ is looking for people who want to make a difference for teenagers while having a great time in the process. On Wednesday, June 27, Youth for Christ of the Miami Valley will hold its 28th annual Golf Classic at the White Springs Golf Club in order to raise money for its work of helping teenagers ďŹ nd direction and hope. YFCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual golf classic is always a popular day with local golfers and an important part of furthering the ministry of YFC. One of the reasons YFCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament is so well liked is because of the delicious food that is served all throughout the day. That experience is enhanced even more for those who choose to participate in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gold Class Upgrade.â&#x20AC;? By contributing or raising double the registration fee for the event, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gold Classâ&#x20AC;? players receive additional beneďŹ ts such as steak sandwiches, a complimentary golf shirt, and chair massage. Another reason people enjoy YFCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Golf Classic is because of the many prizes that are available. Golfers are encouraged to solicit pledges rather than â&#x20AC;&#x153;paying to playâ&#x20AC;? to more greatly beneďŹ t Youth for Christ. Some still choose to simply pay their own registration, but wonderful prizes await those who are successful in raising the most in sponsor-

ships. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top four fundraisers will choose between a golf trip at Hueston Woods State Park Resort, two quality golf clubs, a $100 Ace gift card, or a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fitbitâ&#x20AC;? ďŹ tness band. In addition, great door prizes await all of the golfers who participate. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Youth for Christ Golf Classic yielded more than $19,000 to beneďŹ t YFCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ministry to young people. In addition to the portion of that total raised by the golfers, a signiďŹ cant amount of this income came from local businesses and individuals who sponsored holes, carts, and the grand prizes. This year, the goal is to raise $20,000 to beneďŹ t teenagers, which means new sponsors and golfers are being sought. Youth for Christ of the Miami Valley staff members and volunteers work with teenagers in 11 different schools throughout Darke and Preble Counties. Every week, more than 60 adult ministry leaders connect with 400-450 teenagers to offer them encouragement, guidance, and an opportunity to know and follow Christ. Over the course of the school year, YFC staff and volunteers will have connected with more than 1,000 teenagers through a variety of activities including high school and middle school Campus Life, Campus Life Core, which involve personal ap-

Heritage Park Board Ofﬁcers and the Poultry Days Board of Directors.

Poultry Days awards donations VERSAILLES – Versailles Poultry Days is a volunteer-based organization that in addition to conducting an annual festival serves the Versailles community by supporting community projects and activities that improve quality of life for people of all ages. For 2017-2018 the festival made donations to Rage & Rocko Fire Prevention, Versailles Historical Society, Versailles Bike Rodeo, Versailles Life Squad, Council of Churches, Kinder Korner, Versailles Hometown Christmas, TASKS, Versailles Youth Wrestling, Children’s Shrine Hospital, Boy Scouts, Versailles

Acme Baseball, Versailles Community Scholarship Fund, VFW, Versailles Musical, Conﬁdent Chicks, Versailles After Prom and Heritage Park. Poultry Days recently took time to recognize the Heritage Park Board. The festival’s largest commitment is the 40-acre Heritage Park in Versailles. The park is owned by Poultry Days and operated in partnership with the Heritage Park Board. Both the Heritage Park Board and Poultry Days are proud to offer the park including shelters, pond, walking track and soccer and baseball ﬁeld for community use and athletics.

Pancake breakfast to beneﬁt NJROTC GREENVILLE - American Legion Post 140 is sponsoring a pancake breakfast on from 7-11 a.m. May 19. All proceeds will go to help the Green Wave Navy (NJROTC) to send Cadets to three different camps this summer. Tickets are $5 each and may be pur-

chased from any Cadet or at the door on the 19th. For more information, email Captain Eberwine at seberwine@gcswave. com or Chief Eldred at seldred@gcswave.com. Or call them at (937) 5484188 ext. 1118.

The park provides a valuable asset to the community without a burden on local tax payers. Current projects being planned for the park are repairs to the walking track and YOLO (You Only Live Once) is moving forward with plans to build an amphitheater at the park. YOLO, which conducts the Poultry Days 5K, is investing proceeds from the 5K as well as raising funds to complete this project. It is hoped that the Amphitheatre can be constructed within a few years and provide additional beneﬁts to the community. Poultry Days thanks festival goers and the volunteers and businesses that contribute their time and resources to the festival. Increasing attendance and chicken sales have allowed the board to keep pace with inﬂation and to invest back into the festival to maintain a quality event. The 2018 Versailles Poultry Days Festival will be held June 8, 9, and 10. For more information, go to www.versaillespoultrydays.com.

5 tips to successfully sell your car Selling a used vehicle does not have to be a complicated process. But too often private sellers struggle to sell their vehicles because they are unsure of how to do so. A little

munds say sellers should research the market before putting their vehicles up for sale. Compare the prices of similar makes and models, and track whether those vehicles are moving quickly. Cars that are hot commodities will sell relatively quickly. Even though these may not be the flashy vehicles, family sedans, trucks and vans tend to turn over fast. Convertibles, classic cars or those with special features may take longer to move and will have to be priced accordingly. 2. Determine the vehicle’s worth. Just because sellers want to get predetermined amounts for their vehicles doesn’t mean those figures are the going rates for their cars and trucks. Using resources like Kelley Blue Book, NADA Guides and Autotrader.com can help sellers determine the value of their rides according to factors such as mileage, age, model, and condition of the vehicle. 3. Gather receipts and other paperwork. Sellers should dig through their files to unearth maintenance receipts and other documentation on their vehicles. For those who can’t find receipts, ask for such receipts where the vehicle was serviced. According to Kelley Blue Book, proof of regular oil changes and other services can be a good selling point because it shows that the seller maintained the vehicle to the best of his or her ability. It could be worth the investment to pull the CarFax report on the vehicle as well to see how it measures up. Some buyers will request that information as well. The Department of Motor Vehicles also suggests gathering a release of liability form to keep sellers from being liable for any damages incurred after the vehicle is sold; warranty documents if the car is still under a manufacturer’s warranty; and the vehicle’s title. 4. Prepare the vehicle. Prior to selling, give the car a facelift and a good wash. Vacuum floors,

ﬂoormats, seats, and the trunk. Clean the interior, and wash windows inside and out. A fresh wash and wax can improve the appearance of the vehicle and help it to photograph well for sale pictures. 5. Advertise the sale. Advertise the vehicle in a variety of different formats. Opt for the classiﬁeds section of a local newspaper, post it online and share through social media. A sign on the vehicle is also smart. This will improve the chances of it being seen. Selling a car can take some effort, but with the right tactics, cars can be sold quickly and at prices that make sellers happy.

Vehicles are expensive. When motorists drive their vehicles away from a dealership, they hope to travel many miles before they need to come back for maintenance. But manufacturers sometimes issue recalls that can affect drivers of both new and old vehicles. Recalls are safety precautions taken should a portion of a vehicle or the entire car or truck not operate in the manner it was intended. In many instances, auto manufacturers will directly contact customers who are affected by a recall via a letter, email or both. Individuals also can stay current on recalls by visiting the National Highway Trafﬁc Safety Administration’s website (www.NHTSA.gov). According to AutoTrader, recalls are becoming more common because of the complexity of modern vehicles. NHTSA ﬂagged nearly 22 million vehicles for safety issues in 2013, and that number is on the rise. Drivers can follow these important steps if they learn of a recall. * Don’t panic, but don’t ignore recalls. The experts at Kelley Blue Book say recalls

often occur due to a problem in the manufacturing process in similar models, and this issue may surface in other vehicles. Recalls do not guarantee vehicles will malfunction or break down. However, consumers are urged to take recalls seriously, adopting a “better safe than sorry” approach when recalls are announced. * Follow the instructions. A recall notice should come with instructions. Instructions often advise drivers to take their vehicles to the dealership where the cars were purchased. Notices may provide information regarding nearby dealerships for drivers who have moved since buying their cars or trucks. * No payment should be necessary. The cost of repairing the recalled part should not fall on your shoulders. Such repairs are paid by the manufacturer. The ﬁnancial resource Bankrate.com notes that, “if you had the repair made before the recall was issued (up to a full year), the automaker is legally obligated to reimburse you, as long as you had the work done at one of its franchised dealers.” Save all receipts for

the work. If work was done by a private mechanic, drivers still may be eligible for reimbursement. * Be patient. Dealerships are not responsible for making repairs until the date indicated on the recall notice, so motorists may need to wait before having their vehicles repaired. * Request a loaner vehicle. In some instances, recalls may take a few days to ﬁx. Although not every dealership may make loaner vehicles available, it’s still worth requesting one so you are not inconvenienced. Anyone having difﬁculty with a recall can contact the NHTSA online, by phone or by mail. Those who suspect a safety problem also can contact the agency and report their concerns.

mated vehicles to help prevent crashes and save lives. They promise a far safer future on our roads. But what about safer driving today? There are loads of new safety features that help make crashes avoidable and more survivable. But there’s one technology in today’s cars and trucks that is central to safe driving: the seat belt. You might not think of seat belts as a safety technology, but they’re the foundation of safer driving. In 2015 alone, seat belts saved 13,941 lives. However, 2,804 additional lives could have been saved if everyone had buckled up. That’s why NHTSA remains committed to convincing every American to always buckle up. Thanks to a combination of the enforcement of seat belt laws and public awareness campaigns, seat belt use reached a record high of 90 percent in 2016, up from about 83 percent a decade ago. That’s progress – but it also means that every day, millions of people needlessly put their lives at risk because they don’t buckle up. The annual Click It or Ticket national mobilization is one of their best tools for increasing awareness and belt use. This year, it starts May 21 with advertising that explains the importance of wearing seat belts and the dangers of not buckling up. If you don’t heed the warning and obey the law, they will be backed up by law enforcement, who will be making a special effort to hand out tickets for failing to buckle up between May 21 and June 3.
