THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF THE GREAT DARKE COUNTY FAIR!
Timmerman to take off Monday as new airport manager SUSAN HARTLEY
STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com
DARKE COUNTY – Along with the many changes and improvements already taking place at the Darke County Airport, new manager Seth Timmerman hopes to bring in a few more. “I’ve given them (county commissioners) some ideas already,” Timmerman, 21, said Wednesday – just three days before his graduation May 13 from Indiana State University in Terre Haute, Ind. Timmerman said he fell in love with the concept of flight as a kid. “My nickname is Bird. I always had a pair of binoculars around my neck looking at birds. I was always interested in the way birds fly.” The first time Timmerman went up in a small plane with his uncle Ken Timmerman, who serves on the Darke County Airport board, he said he “was terrified.” Not letting that initial fear sway him from flying, Timmerman started working toward his pilot’s license a few weeks before graduating from Union City Community High School in Union City, Ind. He originally intended to become a career pilot, but changed his major to airport management, doubling up on credit hours to earn his degree in aviation management and unmanned systems in just three years. One goal Timmerman has set for the Darke County Airport is to offer more opportunities for young people interested in pursuing a career in aviation or who want to fly as a hobby. One such program is Young Eagles, which was created by the US Experimental Aircraft Association with a goal of providing youth between 8-17 an opportunity to experience flight and learn about aviation. The program was started in 1992, and has flown more than 2 million children in 90 countries, according to its website, www.eaa.org/en/eaa/aviation-education. Timmerman said he’d also like to see Darke County Airport offer more opportunities for fly-ins and family activities such as movie nights. For those interested in learning to fly, Timmerman said he’d like to work with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for Darke County to meet the regulations necessary to offer a flight school. “I’m really excited about all the improvements being

made at the airport,” Timmerman said, noting the runway extension, taxiway work and improvments taking place on the facility’s hangars. Timmerman said the Randolph County Airport manager mentioned to him a while back the manager’s position was open at Darke County. Former manager Dave Spillers submitted his resignation in February. A call to county commissioners led to an interview. On Monday, May 8, commissioners voted unanimously to hire Timmerman, with an endorsement from Commissioner Mike Rhoades. “He impressed me,” Rhoades said. “He’s ambitious. New life is being breathed into the airport.” Timmerman will begin his duties Monday, May 15 as the airport manager. He plans to move closer to his new job within a year and hopefully start up a side business – if time permits – using unmanned system or drones to do agricultural surveys and home/property photography. “That will come later after getting settled in,” Timmerman said. “I want to make sure I have enough time.”

Hutchinson hired as new Mainstreet Greenville director SUSAN HARTLEY
STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE– There’s a new face at Main Street Greenville. Crysta Hutchinson has been hired to fill the post as executive director, replacing Amber Garrett, who submitted her resignation earlier this spring. Hutchinson, a Xenia resident and graduate of Cedarville University with a degree in psychology, is no stranger to Greenville and Darke County. “I was looking to make the transition to Darke County,” explained Hutchinson. “When I saw the posting for the executive director, I was really excited. It fit really well with a lot of the skills I’ve developed.” Hutchinson said she spent a year using her degree in psychology working in a private practice. She then transitioned to nonprofit work as a conference coordinator for Academic Research Resources, LLC, assisting with the planning and execution of academic research conferences. Hutchinson began her work at Main Street Greenville this week, training with Garrett.
“The first year, in discussing with the Main Street board, will be about maintenance, meeting community and business leaders and building relationships, to carry on what Amber built,” Hutchinson explained. “I don’t want to come in and change anything right away. I’ll be learning what Amber’s done and continue with those plans.” The Main Street board is behind that idea, Hutchinson said. “The organization is in a strong place right now. They wanted to bring in someone who can keep that going during the transition period.” Hutchinson said she has been visiting friends in the Darke County area for about a year. “I fell in love with the downtown area. You always see people walking up and down the street and you don’t see that often. It’s so vibrant,” she said, noting she is excited to get to know the local business owners. “People have been so welcoming,” Hutchinson said. “Through this entire process, people have been so inviting and welcoming. I’m excited to become a Darke County resident.”

Rose Hall earns WHC’s first DAISY Award RYAN BERRY
MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – “I can’t explain it. It’s wonderful,” said Rose Hall after learning she’d been named Wayne HealthCare’s (WHC) first DAISY Award recipient. “I think all of the nurses deserve it. We all work really hard.” Nominations for the award are received from patients, families, coworkers and physicians. Hall’s nominator was a co-worker who said, “She is always the patient advocate. She is always up for the challenge of a patient and as a union officer is very helpful with everything we do. She is what I think of when I think of a good nurse. She is the one I would want to care for me or my family.” The award is made in partnership with the national DAISY Foundation, American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE) and Wayne HealthCare. According to WHC’s Kim Freeman, vice president of patient care services, the award is given to outstanding nurses in more than 2,000 health-care facilities in all 50 states and 15 countries. The number of awards presented is based on the size of the hospital. WHC has been allotted two awards each year. Freeman pointed out a second award will be presented in October.
Rose Hall (left) and Kim Freeman unveiled a banner that will honor all DAISY Award winners at Wayne HealthCare.
Hall is approaching her 21st year at WHC and has been an RN for the past 15 years. “This is the only hospital I’ve ever worked at and will probably be the only hospital I ever work at. I think we all do a good job,” said Hall. She is currently working in the Intensive Care Unit, but has been in several other departments at the hospital. She lives near Rossburg with her husband Mike and two children. As a DAISY Award recipient, Hall received a certificate, DAISY Award pin and a hand-carved stone sculpture entitled A Healer’s Touch. Freeman explained only she knows the name of the winner until it is announced. The selection
committee is given copies of nomination forms with the names redacted and they only vote on the information provided by the nominators. The award winner must meet the following criteria: (DAISY) Dedicated to patient care and satisfaction. Attitude remains positive and demonstrates professionalism in the workplace. Interested in the needs of the patient and family. Stands for and demonstrates the caring ideals, mission and values of WHC. Yearly evaluation is in good standing. The DAISY Award is given in remembrance of Patrick Barnes who passed away in 1999 from an auto-immune disease. His family wanted him to
be remembered and they chose to honor the nurses that took care of their loved one. Because cinnamon rolls were Barnes’ favorite during his illness, each award must be celebrated with cinnamon rolls. The cinnamon rolls are shared with everyone because nursing requires a team. If you would like to nominate an extraordinary nurse at WHC, ask for a nomination form the next time you’re at the hospital or contact Freeman at (937) 547-5719.

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT
Woman cited for child abuse admitted to smoking pot Child Abuse/Drugs
On May 3 an officer was dispatched to the 500 block of Gray Avenue to assist an adult parole officer after drugs were found at a residence. The female suspect was being supervised for a child abuse conviction in Kentucky. The parole officer noticed a strong odor of marijuana and called for police assistance. Upon questioning, the suspect admitted to having just smoked marijuana and turned over a pill bottle containing marijuana as well as a glass smoking pipe. The officer asked the suspect if there was anything else in the house she wasn’t allowed to have and she recovered a water bong used to smoke marijuana from her bedroom. The suspect also told officers there was a gun on top of
the refrigerator, which belonged to her husband. Officers found a black case containing a handgun and two loaded magazines. There also was a box of ammunition on top of the refrigerator. Due to the the gun, marijuana and paraphernalia being within reach of three children under age 7, and that the suspect admitted she smoked marijuana in their presence, she was issued citations for drug abuse, drug paraphernalia and child endangering. The firearm and two compound bows were seized as evidence along with the marijuana and paraphernalia. Children’s Services also was contacted and responded to the scene. An investigation was completed, but the children were not removed from the home. A copy of

the police report was faxed to Children’s Services. On May 2 officers were dispatched to the 300 block of Armstrong Street in reference to a domestic dispute. Upon arrival, they spoke with the complainant who said her estranged boyfriend was staying at her residence for a few days and he had drugs and paraphernalia. The complainant also told officers she had not been staying at the residence due to bed bugs. She gave consent to search the residence as well as any out buildings. Upon entering the residence, officers made contact with the male subject, who was not being cooperative. For their safety, he was detained and searched for weapons. Officers located a small bag of green leafy vegetation on the kitchen counter, which later tested positive as marijuana. Seven paraphernalia items with residue of burnt marijuana also were found spread out all over the residence. A stop sign also was located on the back porch. All evidence was transported to the police department and placed in the property room. Since drugs and drug-related
items were in immediate access to the complainant’s four young children and due to the safety of the children, Children’s Services was called to the scene for a home inspection. All children were present during the investigation. The complainant admitted all children were at the Armstrong Street residence when the drugs were present. She said she waited a few days to call police because she wanted to give the male defendant time to dispose of the drugs. A thorough search was conducted in the residence and no other illicit items were located. Both subjects were charged with possession of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, possessing a traffic control device (stop sign) and child endangerment. All citations were served at the scene. The male subject was advised not to return to the residence and was warned for trespassing. Wanted Person

County Municipal Court for failure to comply with serving 29 days from a trespassing charge. The officer made contact with Gwinn and his warrant was confirmed through dispatch. Gwinn was placed under arrest and transported to the Darke County Jail where he was incarcerated without bond and will serve 29 days. On May 3 three officers were dispatched to the 300 block of Oxford Drive on the report of a stabbing. Upon arrival, officers found Melissa Gezzi sitting on the floor holding her stomach. When asked if she had been hurt, she answered that she had been stabbed in the stomach. The officer could not see any blood or injuries on Gezzi. When asked who would do this to her, she would not give the officers a name, just a description of clothing and that the person who did it “would be back.” Officers learned Gezzi’s mother lived next door. They questioned her about a possible stabbing. The mother told officers her daughter had been stalked by a man while living in North Carolina. Greenville Rescue arrived on scene and checked Gezzi for injuries, which were non-existent. Gezzi finally gave officers the name of the man she thought was stalking her. They ran the name through LEADS and found a couple different addresses for him, but no one at the addresses knew of him. Officers also checked with Greenville motels to see if he might be staying in town. Greenville dispatch ran Gezzi’s name through Leads/NCIC and learned there was an active warrant for her through the Darke County Sheriff’s Office for failure to appear on contempt of court. After officers and paramedics determined Gezzi was not hurt, she was arrested and transported to the Darke County Jail, where she was incarcerated on a $525 bond. Attempts to locate the alleged suspect at addresses in North Carolina and in Kentucky were unsuccessful.

and he felt compelled to once again get a group together and share the gospel in song. Today, Woods, Jim Hutson, Derrick Boyd and Steve Waggoner travel the country as the Woodsmen Quartet.

Greve celebrates 30 years at local church ARCANUM – The deacons and members of Immanuel Baptist Church invite the community to help them celebrate 30 years of ministry with Pastor Greg Greve. He has served faithfully and diligently throughout his tenure of ministry pouring into so many lives, near and far. Whether preaching or teaching, working with local youth or sharing his testimony under the anointed power of God, he has somehow touched many others by his ministry in Arcanum. A significant milestone in a number of ways, Greg was just 27 years old when he assumed the pastorate on January 6, 1987, which means Greg has spent over half his life pastoring the congregation of IBC. The church was 35-yearsold in 1986, which means Greg has been the pastor for 45 percent of its existence. The celebration will take place on Sunday, May 28 beginning with the Morning Worship Service at 10:30 a.m. at 500 West South Street, Arcanum. Organizers are pleased to announce the guest speaker for this service will be the Rev. Dave Warren. Pastor Warren was a former Greek and New Testament professor at Cedarville University and is a retired state representative of the Ohio Regular Baptist Churches serving 20 years in that capacity. A Celebration Meal will be served to all in attendance in the social hall following the morning service. An afternoon Recognition Service will start at ap-
proximately 1:15 p.m. with lots of music and sharing of memories. Greg and his wife, Terri first came to Arcanum in the fall of 1986 to meet the deacons and congregation of IBC. In December of 1986, the couple and their two young sons moved to Arcanum and Pastor Greg started his ministry at IBC on the first Sunday in January of 1987. A recent graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary in Texas, Greg had been serving as an Associate Pastor in West Dallas, Texas for the Southern Baptist Mission at Treat Memorial Baptist Church at the time of his call to Arcanum. Greg grew up in Greensburg, Ind. and loved to play basketball. After high school, he went to Cedarville College (now Cedarville University) to play basketball and major in business. During his sophomore year at Cedarville, he began to consider changing his major and was invited to preach a sermon at his home church in Indiana in the summer of 1979; it seemed to be wellreceived by the congregation and he started his junior year at Cedarville by switching to pre-seminary Bible as his major. Upon graduation from Cedarville in 1980, Greg states that the Lord “granted me the opportunity to further my education and receive at ThM degree from Dallas Theological Seminary in 1986.” While at Cedarville, Greg met his wife Terri (Potter) who had grown up in Kettering, and was a pre-nursing major and
played on the volleyball team. They were married on May 28, 1983 and headed for Dallas. Today, their family has grown to six children and six grandchildren with another grandchild on the way later this year. Their oldest son, Josh and his wife, Jodie and family (Micah, Malachi, and Melodie) are serving as missionaries in Papua, New Guinea. Son, Gabe and his wife, Traci live in Fairborn with their son Hamilton and he works for SOCHE at WPAFB. Son, Nathan and his wife, Jenn live in Chattanooga, Tenn. with their children, Caiden and Audrina, and he is a physical education teacher and coach at Grace Baptist Academy. Jordan and his wife Stephanie and son Bryson reside in Piqua and he is a General Manager for AVI Food Systems in Troy. Terri and Greg also have two adopted children, Caitlyn and Christopher. The deacons at Immanuel Baptist Church at the time of Greg’s calling to minister there were Al Kuhbander, Will Raby and Nick Brown. One of Greg’s answers to a question from that interview team was one of the reasons he was chosen to become their pastor, the deacons asked him about the importance of longevity at a church, and Greg stated that, “He wanted to be at a church where his grandchildren could come to visit.” For more information, visit http://www.ibcarcanum.org, Facebook page, or call Associate Pastor Dan Kuhbander at (937) 692-8188.

ON YOUR MIND
The Werewolf and the Clothes Rack
Growing up with two brothers I knew nothing about makeup, dress sizes, or emotional breakdowns. We did know fashion, especially at Easter. My favorite picture is of me in the best suit I ever had the privilege of wearing. I wore white pants (I was about 7 – I’m not sure what my mom was thinking) and, if I remember correctly, a light-blue polyester sports jacket with a big collar. I really miss leisure suits. My older brother had the bright yellow jacket and my younger brother had a lavender jacket. It was the early 70’s – need I say more? Now that I have girls I know more than I want to know. I know what’s inside a Sephora store (and it is way beyond my budget). I’ve seen the medieval torture device looking thing girls use on their eyelashes. I know if eyebrows are done perfectly they are on fleek. I know if they are having an emotional breakdown I’m not allowed to say a word. I’ve also had the revelation that I do not need to help shop for a prom dress; nor am I welcome. Prom – the magical season that turns funloving girls into hormone raging werewolves that rip through clothes racks like I rip through a perfectly seasoned steak. Our prom season began about two months or more before prom night with a casual conversation between my wife and daughter questioning each other on when the best time to go shopping would be. My procrastinating family determined the best time for them was three weeks before prom. Of course they couldn’t find anything in the store and they ended up ordering a dress. Wait, that’s not right. They ordered two dresses. The same dress in two sizes. The dresses came about 10 days before prom. My daughter tried one on and I thought it looked okay. It wouldn’t have been the style I would have chosen for her, but then again I want leisure suits (and polyester) to come back
in style. My wife, on the other-hand, was more than willing to share her opinion. My daughter disagreed with my wife’s opinion. I can’t help but think the word “disagree” understates that conversation. The United States and North Korea are getting along better than they were. Fast forward to the Monday before prom and I hear my daughter ask my wife, “Can we go prom dress shopping?” What? When? Why? The Wednesday before prom they hit up a few stores and came home with nothing. Less than 24hours before the start of prom she still didn’t have a dress – except for the two we had at home. With the promise of food, but with much trepidation, I agreed to drive to Cincinnati. We arrived at the mall at 7 p.m. and went directly to the store. Jackpot! Hundreds of dresses in all different sizes – this shouldn’t take long, I foolishly thought to myself. My youngest daughter and I decided to grab a small snack at the food court. At 8 p.m. we went back to the store to check on them. I’m not sure if I said something wrong or if it was merely my wife’s realization that I was still breathing – I got chewed out, massacred, berated, rebuked, and scolded. I think I said, “How’s it going?” Attention Men: I’m told there is a lot of stress and tension when women are prom dress shopping – BEWARE. At 8:50 p.m., I sheepishly approached the dynamic duo and I’m immediately presented with the question to which there is no right answer. “Do you like this dress?” My daughter likes it, my wife doesn’t – I can’t win. It looked like something Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit wore in the movie. So no, I didn’t like it on my daughter. Being the dad, I would have preferred a moo moo, but it was 8:50 p.m. and the store closed at 9 p.m. “It looks okay,” I said. My daughter smiled and my wife shot me an evil look. They were in line buying a third prom dress as the store was closing. On the bright side, because they procrastinated the price rang up 50 percent off the original price. #blessed.

Workplace safety and wellness investment COLUMBUS — Lt. Governor Mary Taylor and Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) Administrator/CEO Sarah Morrison today announced a $44 million investment in workplace safety, health and wellness. The safety initiative is part of the $1 billion rebate plan proposed by Gov. John Kasich last month and approved by BWC’s board of directors this morning. Taylor and Morrison were joined by State Fire Marshal Larry Flowers and Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities Director John Martin for the announcement at the Wesley Glen Retirement Community in Worthington. Methodist ElderCare, which operates Wesley Glen, received a healthy worksite award at the Ohio Business Council’s annual Healthy Worksite Awards ceremony in January. “Each day, millions of Ohioans leave their homes to go to work, provide for their families and drive economic growth in Ohio,” said Lt. Governor Mary Taylor. “We owe it to Ohio’s workers and their families to ensure our workplaces are safe and that those workers are able to return home each day after their shift.” The new initiative calls for $44 million over two years to improve wellness and safety for workers across Ohio. This includes a new wellness program, funding for specific programs to help firefighters and those who work with children and adults with disabilities, and an education campaign to address common injuries at work and in the home. “We at BWC have a strong history of promoting safety in the workplace, as evidenced by record-low claims,” said Morrison. “This program is about expanding that effort directly to workers and creating a culture of safety among all Ohioans.” The initiative is expected to launch in January and includes: * $6 million annually for a new health and wellness program for Ohioans working for small employers (50 or fewer employees) in specific high-risk industries, as

LWSB ‘train is rolling’ with back-to-back perfect tournament wins GAYLEN BLOSSER
SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – The Lady Wave softball team closed 2017 GWOC play with a perfect 15-0 record defeating Xenia 13-0 Wednesday night on the road and opened OHSAA tournament play with back-to-back perfect games defeating Dunbar 18-0 Tuesday and Trotwood-Madison 17-0 Thursday. “Great ďŹ nish to ďŹ nish the league undefeated this year 15-0.â€? said Greenville head varsity softball coach Jerrod Newland, The three consecutive games played Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were wins by the required minimum ďŹ ve-inning 10 -run, run rule margins with the Lady Wave winning all May games by run rule scores. “Great day for Lady Wave softball (LWSB) Newland said. “First two steps on the ladder to Akron.â€? The freshman tandem of Baylee Petry and Caitlin Christman struck out 15 of 15 batters in the Dunbar game and 11 of 15
hitters against Trotwood for a total of 26 strikeouts in the opening two games of the 2017 state tournament run to Akron. The big hits in Tuesday night’s opening tournament game: Cassie Cromwell’s ďŹ rst-inning 2-run double and 3-run triple, Alli Hill and Petry RBI doubles and a Lani Shilt RBI single to lead 9-0 after one inning. Petry and Courtney Bryson RBI second-inning singles pushed the Wave’s lead to 11-0 after two innings of play. The Greenville girls bypassed their fourthinning plate appearance after plating seven thirdinning runs to lead 18-0 after three that would prove to be the ďŹ nal score. In the game, all but one of the Greenville outs at the plate came by way of Coach Newlands orders for the “runner leaving base earlyâ€? play to keep the game from going late into the night. The Petry, Christman duo’s second consecutive perfect tournament game played Thursday night moved the Lady Wave into the D-II sectional
semi-ďŹ nals. “Both pitchers did well in the opening games of the tournament,â€? Newland stated. “I like both our freshmen on the mound.â€? The Lady Wave took an 11-0 ďŹ rst-inning lead before T-M got out of the inning with the “runner leaving base earlyâ€? with the game moving to inning No. 2. Big hits in the opening inning included a Makayla Hanes RBI double, a Cromwell 2-run double, an RBI double off the bat of Hill and a Hanes RBI single to left. Morgan Gilbert and Karsyn Shaffer each accounted for an RBI in the inning by way of bases loaded hit batsmen. With the Lady Wave starters on the bench after an inning at the plate, the equally talented bench players added four second inning runs to lead 15-0 after two while using the “runner leaving base earlyâ€? to bring the inning to a close. In the inning, Haleigh Mayo cranked out an RBI single and Zoe Pressnall knocked a 2-run single. A bases loaded hit

batsman RBI made it a 16-0 score after three and a fourth-inning Alyssa York RBI single gave the Lady Wave a 17-0 second round tournament run rule win. The Thursday night win extends the Greenville Girls current win streak to 18 games and a 24-3 season record while outscoring their opponents 288-36 with many of the team’s outs coming by way of Coach Newland’s “leaving the base
early� on the base paths as was the case in Tuesday night’s opening round of tournament play where 14 of the 15 outs came by way of “leaving the base early�. The Division II Lady Wave’s three season losses came at the hands of three top 10 ranked D-I Ohio teams with a combined 72-6 record on the season. The Lady Wave have 19 wins on the 2017 season by game shortened run
rule margins making for an incredible 79.17 percent of games played coming by run rule scores. Petry picked up her 21st win of the season to lead the GWOC, easily outdistancing the league’s second best mark of 12 held by four players. “I enjoy the community support for our girls,� concluded Newland. “The train is rolling and it’s Akron (home of the OHSAA girl’s state tournament) or bust.�
Ansonia’s Lydia Sink signs with the University of Dayton BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com
ANSONIA – Ansonia senior Lydia Sink signed to compete with the University of Dayton women’s track and ďŹ eld team. “I just want to say thanks to the community for always supporting me, my coaches and teachers for making me want to go somewhere so hard to get into and my family for supporting me all the way through it,â€? said Sink. “They’re number one help.â€? “I’m really excited,â€? said Ansonia track and ďŹ eld coach Craig Riethman. “If she puts her mind to it she’s going to be very successful at UD.â€? Sink, the daughter of Mark and Star Sink plans
to major in human biology at UD and become an oncologist or physician assistant while competing for the Lady Flyers track and ďŹ eld team. UD has plans for Sink to compete in the heptathlon, a combined seven-event women’s track a ďŹ eld event including the 100 meter hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200 meter run, long jump, javelin throw and the 800 meter run. “Heptathlon, kinda scares me because that’s a lot of events but I think that they will train me well enough to get through it all,â€? stated Sink. “I think it’s going to be a wonderful experience for her,â€? said Riethman. “The heptathlon I think is
a good ďŹ t for her. She’s a very well rounded athlete ‌ has God given talents. The mental state of going into a Division-I atmosphere is going to deďŹ nitely be a challenge for Lydia. I’m really anxious to see how she responds.â€? The NCAA Division I Lady Flyers began recruiting Sink in November 2016, the school she knew immediately she wanted to attend. “I feel like I am ready for that competition,â€? Sink said. “I’ve always wanted to be a D-I athlete. It’s really overwhelming for me coming from such a small school. I never expected it to actually come true until UD contacted me.â€? The University of Dayton has always been Sinks
ďŹ rst choice where her sister Ashlyn attends the University. “My sister goes there,â€? said Sink. “I’ve been around the campus a lot and it feels a lot like home to me. I felt like I got along really well with the people and when I met the coaches that was my number one deciding factor because they were so nice and welcoming.â€? “UD has always been my number one choice,â€? added Sink. “It’s kinda overwhelming because
it’s a big school and it’s going to be a lot different coming from Ansonia with small class sizes – it feels good though.â€? Sink excelled in basketball, volleyball and track and ďŹ eld for the Ansonia Lady Tigers. “I feel like I enjoy track the most,â€? Sinks said of her decision to pursue track and ďŹ eld at the college level. “I have fun with it and I’m not as worried as much about messing up because I know it’s on me and it’s not effecting the
rest of the team as much as just my personal self. I feel like I have the most fun and get along with the girls the best in track.� “Her greatest assets – how versatile she is whether its jumping, throwing, sprinting, distance, she’s very gifted in all aspects of with what she can do,� Riethman noted. “She’s very strong and her competitive spirit is going to be what pushes her through and not allow her to give up.�

Arcanum Lady Trojans earn comeback tournament win over Triad BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com
ARCANUM – The Arcanum Lady Trojans plated four unanswered runs after trailing 6-4 in the middle of the ďŹ fth inning to pull out an 8-6 OHSAA sectional tournament win over the Triad Lady Cardinals. “I believe in my girls – I believe that we are never done,â€? Arcanum Coach Rick Stone said of the team’s comeback win. “I never count them out, I’ll never count them out. They can hit the ball hard, they play great defense, they hustle, they do anything I ask them to do.â€? Triad took 1-0 before the Lady Cardinals sent a bases loaded liner to deep to center only to have Arcanum’s Cassidy Clark make a sprinting catch, snagging the ball with her back to home plate. Arcanum scored three runs with Elle Siculan reaching by way of a hits batman, a Brittany Kinney single to left and a McKenzie Sharritts RBI double off the leftďŹ eld fence tying the score at 1-1. Shai Robinson sent an RBI single to center for a 2-1 lead and made it a 3-1 score on a 6-4-3 Triad double play. Siculan sat Triad down
in order in the top of the second tossing her ďŹ rst strikeout of the game while getting defensive support with groundouts to Sharritts at short and Kinney at third. A second inning leadoff Kaitlyn Zell double, a Hannah Weaver sacriďŹ ce bunt and a Kaylee Wilcox RBI single to center had Arcanum owning a 4-1 lead after two. Triad plated a third-inning run before Arcanum recorded the ďŹ rst out of the inning. With one out and two on, Siculan tossed a strikeout for the second out. A single to left loaded the bases only to have Siculan shut down the threat with strikeout bringing the Lady Trojans to the plate holding a 4-2 advantage. Triad used a one-out fourth-inning single, an RBI double and a 2-run homer to grab their ďŹ rst lead of the night bringing Arcanum to the plate trailing 5-4 only to go quietly in the inning. With Siculan’s night on the mound complete, Coach Stone move the speedster to right ďŹ eld and brought Macy Skelton to the mound. Triad upped its lead to 6-4 in the top of the ďŹ fth with a solo shot over the fence. Kinney opened the bot-
tom of the Arcanum ďŹ fth with a double and scored on a Clark two-out single cutting the Cardinals lead to 6-5 after ďŹ ve. Elle Siculan snuffed out a sixth-inning scoring threat with a perfect throw from right ďŹ eld to a waiting Kinney at third with a catch and tag to keep Triad off the board. “To her credit, Elle is usually on the mound,â€? said Stone. “She hasn’t had a whole lot of time in the outďŹ eld this year. Our three starters out there when Elle is on the mound all have cannons and so does Elle. For her to come out there – she has maybe played a total of eight innings all year long out there and make that kind of accurate throw in that stressful situation – you just take your hat off to the kid.â€? “The thing about Kinney, I don’t care how hard you go into third base she’s not backing down,â€? Stone added. “She’s going to take it – perfect throw, perfect play by Brittany, perfect execution.â€? Zell reached on a grounder in the sixth. A Hannah Weaver sacriďŹ ce bunt had Zell sprinting from ďŹ rst to third on Triad’s throw to ďŹ rst and scored on a Cardinals throwing error to third

on the play knotting the score at 6-6. “I basically put a bunt and run – bunt and steal at the same time,â€? explained Stone. “Kaitlyn (Zell) got a heck of a jump and she saw that the ball wasn’t there at ďŹ rst base yet. She rounded second, never hesitated coming to third and fortunately for us they made a bad throw. Kaitlyn was going to beat the throw anyways but the throw was off target over at third she scored on that to tie it up.â€? Siculan kept the inning
MV’s Ethan Bowman plays OHSBCA Top 100 Classic basketball BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com
UNION CITY – Mississinawa Valley Blackhawks’ Ethan Bowman was selected to play in the Ohio High School Basketball Coaches Association’s (OHSBCA) Top 100 Classic basketball games held recently at Otterbein University. “It was really fun,â€? Bowman told the Early Bird. “I got to play against a lot of the best guys in the state of Ohio – underclassman. It was a good eye opening experience. It showed me where I am at with other players.â€? MV head varsity basketball coach Tim Barga nominated his standout athlete for the honor of playing with some of the state’s best underclassmen. “I went to the District 9 meeting and everyone had a chance to sign their kids up to go to the OHSBCA Top 100 and I just took the time to ďŹ ll out the right forms,â€? said Barga. “They called me up and said he made it. I thought he should have but you never know about those kind of things. There were only three guys there that he knew.â€? “It was real nice of him,â€? Bowman stated of his coach’s nomination and support. The 100 players were divided into teams of 10 athletes playing a total of ďŹ ve games with each player get-
ting equal playing time on the court. “We played three games, then we did drills and then we played two more games,â€? Bowman noted. “We did some three on three drills, transition defense, transition offense and some nice shooting drills.â€? “We subbed every ďŹ ve minutes of play in a 20 minute quarter,â€? added Bowman. “We got to play every ďŹ ve minutes and we played ďŹ ve games.â€? Coach Barga ranks Bowman at the top of the list of athletes he has coached over his many years of coaching varsity high school basketball. “He’s the all-time hustler I’ve coached,â€? said Barga. “He hustles in practice just like he does in games. I can’t believe there were too many guys there quicker than him and too many guys that work as hard as he does.â€? “He just doesn’t have a lot of talent, he’s got a lot between the ears,â€? continued Barga. “He’s a good kid. That even makes him special. He’s not full of himself. There are very few kids that are like him that sit back and don’t think that they are the greatest. He knows there are people out there better than him. Some people think even though they’re not that good – they think they’re the best around. He’s a spe-

cial kid and he’s a special ball player. I think he could play about any sport he wanted to, he’s just a good athlete.� “He’ll play any position you want him to play, he’ll do anything I ask,� pointed out Barga. “Ethan is a kid that may play inside, he’ll play anywhere you ask him to play and he’ll work on the post moves on the inside or the forward spot or the guard spot. He’ll work anything that you ask him to.� “It was a real eye opener that showed you can learn from other guys because they are better at some-
thing that you,â€? said Bowman. “You ďŹ gure out what works against really good players so you can take that back and say – well, I need to do this more often and I need to get better at that because they were really good at that.â€? There were no less than 12 college scouts in attendance to watch Ohio’s best underclassmen take to the Otterbein basketball courts. “He works very hard all the time,â€? concluded Coach Tim Barga. “It all starts at home, because of the parents. My wife and I have said that all along, you got to take a look at home.â€?
alive with a two-out single to center and jogged home ahead of a Kinney’s game winning homerun over the centerďŹ eld fence giving Lady Trojans an 8-6 lead. “Elle hustles out an inďŹ eld hit,â€? Stone said. “Hit deep in the hole at shortstop and then Brittany Kinney comes up and does what Brittany Kinney does – sent one out of the ballpark. She hit the ball hard all day.

BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com ARCANUM – A familiar face to Arcanum area residents will be featured as the 2017 Old Fashioned Days Parade Grand Marshal. Since August 1975, residents and business owners in need of plumbing and heating repairs or renovations have called on Jack Bechtol for help. “Jack’s been a plumber since high school and has been around the community ever since,” said Kurt Troutwine, who serves on this year’s parade committee. “This is a way to say thanks for his service. He’s been in everyone’s home around here to fix something over the years. Just want to say thanks to him.” Bechtol, a 1969 Arcanum graduate, and his wife Deb raised two daughters in Arcanum, Terra Bechtol of Dayton and Tonya Baker, who lives in Arcanum with her husband Jason and their three children Elleigh, 9, Bo, 6 and Ketch, 4. Bechtol said he’s hoping his grandchildren will ride with him in Saturday’s parade. When he found out he’d been chosen as Grand Marshal, Bechtol said “I told Rosie (Lambert) that’s for old people.” Her husband, Deb said, “doesn’t like to toot his own horn.” Before opening his own business, Bechtol worked for Gower’s Plumbing for five years, he said. He also served in the National Guard between 1969 and 1975.

It was in April 1974, that Bechtol’s National Guard service took him to assist following the devastating Xenia tornado. “It was also when he found out he was going to be a daddy,” Deb said with a laugh. “Well, he knew I had a doctor’s appointment.” Bechtol began his business out of his garage before opening a storefront in Arcanum. “At one time we were in the old popcorn factory where Warner’s Insurance is now,” Deb said. Employing up to six workers, Bechtol installed plumbing and heating for new construction, not only in Darke County but also Preble and Montgomery counties, he said, explaining he didn’t go to school
for formal training, but had “on-the-job-training.” “George Hathaway was probably his best trainer,” Deb said. Even with the many changes in today’s technology and computerized equipment, Bechtol said he’s continued to “teach myself. But lots of people just go to Lowe’s to get what they need.” Although more and more people try do-ityourself projects, Bechtol said “we’ve always been fortunate.” Arcanum Old-Fashioned Days will be held May 19-21, with the parade beginning at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 20, at Arcanum Schools to downtown.

Parents informed of deadly Blue Whale Challenge BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE - A social media game with roots in Russia is beginning to take hold in the United States. Geared to attract young teens, the game Blue Whale Challenge encourages participants to engage in disturbing behaviors, which lead to self-harm and suicide. Greenville Middle School administration on May 3 sent home a letter with students informing parents there had been reports of students talking about the deadly challenge. “Over the last week we started getting calls from parents letting us know about kids who were talking about it,” said principal Chris Mortensen. “We talked to the students whose names had come up to verify nothing was going on.” Middle school parents also received a One Call Now on May 3, informing them of the challenge and how the school was taking a proactive approach to the issue, Mortensen said. According to several online reports, the challenge has been linked to several
teen suicides in Russia. The challenge is moving into other countries, including India, New Zealand, England, Canada and France. A May 9 report on the Danbury, Conn. online news source, Danbury Patch, reported on a school there becoming aware of students being targeted by anonymous Blur Whale gamers. The school district also sent home a letter to inform parents of the dangers of the challenge. The game targets young people who use and visit social media sites and who may endorse specific hashtags or get involved in gaming groups. When a player signs up for the game, they are assigned an “administrator” who provides them with daily tasks to complete for 50 days. The tasks may start out seemingly innocent for a teen – watching a horror movie, for example, but progress to being told to inflict harm on themselves, such as cutting the shape of a whale on their arm. On the 50th day, they are asked to kill themselves. If they back out of the challenge, they are threatened by their administrator who says they possess all the young per-
son’s information and will bring harm to them or their loved ones. The name for the challenge comes from reports of blue whales becoming beached and dying. The Greenville Middle School letter says in part: “It has been brought to our attention that children are discussing this. We are not aware of any GMS students involved in this challenge, but we continue to be vigilant and proactive. We wanted to bring this situation to your attention and encourage family discussions and mentoring of your child’s social media activities.” Both Mortensen and guidance counselor Tiffany Fine are encouraging parents to take the time to talk about this disturbing challenge with their children. “We need to be willing to monitor the phone and what they are doing with the computers,” Mortensen said. “It’s just a good idea, even without concerns such as Blue Whale.” The Greenville Middle School letter also addressed a popular Netflix teen drama series, also geared to young people, called 13 Reasons
Why, which tells the story of a young woman who commits suicide. The drama also touches on the topics of rape, bullying, alcohol/drug abuse, and manipulation. The story 13 Reasons Why is based on a book by the same name, which is used as curriculum for some middle school students – but not in Greenville, says Fine. “There are some teachable moments in it,” Fine said. “But if someone is reading (or watching) it and they don’t have someone to talk to, it could give students the wrong message.” Parents and other adults caring for pre-teen and teenagers should be aware of these topics, Fine said, and be willing to ask specific questions such as “How do you feel about it?” “Have you ever experienced being
Christopher Newman charged with weekend robbery BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com
DARKE COUNTY – Christopher Newman, 31, is jailed on felony charges stemming from a Saturday afternoon incident on Delisle Fourman Road. On Saturday, May 6, just after 5:30 p.m., the Darke County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call in reference to a truck down into a creek on Delisle Fourmans Road, just west of the intersection of Jaysville St.Johns Road in Greenville, Ohio. The 911 caller advised the driver from the crash was fleeing the scene on foot and running north through a field. At 5:43 p.m., the Darke County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call from Scot Meier (34) Greenville advising he was attacked by a man with a shotgun while checking on his family’s property located at 5363 Delisle Fourmans Road which is near the area of the reported crash. Darke County deputies responded to scene along with Arcanum Rescue and Greenville Township Rescue. The investigation revealed Christopher Newman (31) Winchester, Ind., made entry into a barn located at 5363 Delisle Fourmans Road. Meier stopped at the property with his 3 year old son because he noticed property sitting in front of the barn that wasn’t there before. When
Christopher Newman
Mr. Meier got out to investigate, Newman exited the barn brandishing a 12 gauge shotgun and ordered Meier back into his truck at gun point. Newman got into Meier’s truck and took his cell phone and wallet. Newman then grabbed the three year old in the backseat and at that point, Meier wrestled the shotgun away from Newman. Newman exited the truck and Meier fled the scene with his son for help. Meier was treated at the scene by Greenville Township Rescue for injuries received during the struggle. Newman also fled the scene by driving his truck through a large overhead barn door and traveling east on Delisle Fourmans Road. Newman crashed his truck into a creek a short distance away in the area of Delisle Fourmans Road and Jaysville-St. Johns Road. Newman then fled on foot after the crash and was located by deputies outside a residence at 3598 Jaysville-St. Johns Road. Newman was taken
into custody and transported by Arcanum Rescue to Wayne Healthcare where he was evaluated for suspected drug intoxication. At 5:29 P.M., the Darke County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call in reference to a residential fire at 7808 Darke Preble County Line Road Arcanum, Ohio. Darke County deputies, Arcanum Fire and Rescue, Pitsburg Fire Department and the Verona Fire Department responded to the scene. The investigation revealed the residence appeared to have been ransacked and burglarized prior to the fire. The cause of the fire is suspicious and still under investigation by the Darke County Sheriff’s Office. Items of property from 7808 Darke Preble Line Road were located and recovered from inside and outside of the barn at 5363 Delisle Fourmans Road as well as Mr. Newman’s pickup truck. Newman is a suspect in this investigation. Newman is currently housed at the Darke County Jail on a charge of Aggravated Robbery. This case will be presented to the Darke County Prosecutor’s Office for further review and additional charges are likely in the future. These cases remains under investigation.

so sad you don’t know what to do?” Fine said the school will always contact the parent of a child who has demonstrated they have a problem or who is discussing topics such as the Blue Whale Challenge, self-harm or suicide. She encourages parents to be sure to tell their children to tell them or a teacher if they are concerned about a friend.
“I always tell kids when they hear other students talking about self-harm, in whatever form, they are to let an adult know. There’s a lot of pressure to put on their shoulders, to know what to say or what to do,” if a friend asks a fellow student for help. “When I talk to students I explain it’s not tattling to let us know what is going on with their friend.” Kurt Troutwine

On “529 Day,” Think About College Savings Plans You probably won’t see it on your calendar, but May 29 (5/29) is 529 College Savings Day, or 529 Day for short. This day, named after the 529 plan, a popular college-savings vehicle, is designed to promote people’s awareness of the need to save and invest for the high costs of higher education. And that need has never been greater. Consider the following: • College prices keep moving up. College costs just keep rising. For the 2016–2017 school year, the average cost (tuition, fees, room and board) was about $20,000 for instate students at public universities and more than $45,000 for private schools, according to the College Board. These costs are likely to continue climbing. • Student debt is at record levels. Of the Class of 2016 graduates who received loans – about 70% of the total student population – the average individual debt was $37,172, a record high, according to a study cited by CBS News. What can you do to help your children graduate from college without having to provide a big “IOU” in exchange for a diploma? In the spirit of 529 Day, you might want to consider investing in a 529 plan. It’s certainly not the only means of saving for college, but it does offer some attractive benefits. For starters, contribution limits are quite high – you can accumulate more than $200,000 per beneficiary in many state plans. And you can typically invest in the 529 plan offered by any state, even if you don’t reside there. If you do invest in your own state’s plan, you may be eligible for state income tax
incentives. Also, all withdrawals from 529 plans will be free from federal income taxes, as long as the money is used for a qualified college or graduate school expense of the beneficiary you’ve named — typically, your child or grandchild. (Withdrawals for expenses other than qualified education expenditures may be subject to federal and state taxes and a 10% penalty on the earnings portion of the distribution.) Furthermore, you have complete control of your 529 plan assets. You decide who will get the money and when he or she will get it. You can even change the beneficiary to another family member. Keep in mind, though, that your 529 plan will be counted on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), although schools typically only consider up to 5.6% of parental assets when calculating financial aid. And distributions from a parent-owned 529 account used for one year’s college expenses will not usually reduce next year’s financial aid eligibility. (For more information on how a 529 plan might affect your child’s financial assistance, you may want to consult with a college’s financial aid office.) If you can find a 529 Day event in your area, you may want to attend so that you can learn more about the many aspects of saving for college. But even if you can’t personally take part in 529 Day, give some thought to a 529 plan – it might be part of the solution for helping your children earn a relatively debt-free degree.

GREENVILLE – Darke County Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein agreed with the state recommendation and ordered 47-year-old Joseph W. Braun be held on a $50,000 bond. He appeared via video from the Darke County Jail Tuesday afternoon for an initial appearance after being charged for one count of Aggravated Burglary, a felony of the first degree. According to an eyewitness, Braun made his way into an apartment on the 900 block of East Main St. in Greenville Sunday night, after strangely requesting to gain access to the resident’s roof to “get away from a pack of wild dogs that were chasing him”. Braun is said to have gotten into the attic of the apartment, where
he stayed for up to three hours. Officers were finally able to get him down and he was placed under arrest and booked into jail. “I was out of my head,” Braun stated during Tuesday’s court appearance. Local attorney Randall E. Breaden was appointed by the court to represent Braun. He could face up to 11 years behind bars if convicted as currently charged.

Davidson adds story to digital library GREENVILLE – The Veterans Memorial Park and Digital Library in cooperation with Greenville High School Interactive Media TV (IMTV) will host an interview with Congressman Warren Davidson, who served as an enlisted member and commissioned officer in the US Army. “Never Stop Serving” invites prominent veterans and their families who continue to serve their country and community after honorable discharge. The program’s production gives the students realistic and relevant material to work on, and provides outreach content to attract other veterans to contribute their history to the library. Representative Davidson was also drafted to help present end of school year awards to students and volunteers of the digital library mission.
The former US Army Ranger turned legislator’s interview will round out a stellar guest list to appear on the veterans show this year: * Col. (Ret) Cassie Barlow, USAF/Sue Knoll co-authors Saluting Our Grandmothers * Lt. Col. (Ret) Richard Martin, USAF, Greenville HS Alum * Ed Damron, US Army, Vietnam, Silver Star, Bronze Star, and Purple Heart recipient * James E. Groves, Recruiter, Gold Star family, Honor Squad, Dayton National Cemetery * CSM (Ret) Michael White, US Army Veterans Memorial Park and Digital Library keeps history alive by recording and storing the oral histories, pictures, and memorabilia of veterans. This mission chronicles the sacrifices of yesterday before they become forever lost to to-
COMMUNITY ACTION DAY
morrow. Veteran’s eyewitness accounts help us preserve these valuable pieces of history. Oral history interviews are conducted and students at the Greenville High School digitize the photographs, videos, narratives and memorabilia. These recollections are an important piece of history, and it is meaningful that it is the Greenville High School students that are preserving it. In the past year, we made significant gains through a partnership with Interactive Media TV at Greenville High School. This partnership is a windfall for both the Memorial Library and the Greenville students. We get access to a studio and equipment for our mission and the high school students get practical exercise on producing relevant material. The goal is to get other schools across the country involved in helping chronicle the historical accounts. They have been developing partnerships with local media, other schools, OHI-
OLinks, and the Library of Congress to further expand our link with other veterans’ libraries. For every individual veteran collection that is digitized and stored, we create actual primary history sources for generations to come. We believe that the best way to honor veterans is to maintain an accurate record of their experiences for as many of them as possible. The five year plan is to build a first-of-its-kind, state-of-the-art digital memorial. It will be an interactive display where visitors can give the memorial voice commands. Our digital memorial will represent what can be found online, and it will be different from all other memorials; in that, our digital memorial will be veterans-centered. For more on their plans and the park’s history, visit them on Facebook and YouTube at Veterans Memorial Park and Digital Library, gvmpdl@gmail.com, or call (937) 542-0966.

GREENVILLE – Bread of Life Bookstore, 533 S. Broadway, Greenville, will welcome Timothy Carroll, previously of Darke County and newly published author, to a signing for NOMAD. With endorsements from several respected Christian leaders in our community, Rev. Bill Lyle summarizes the book well...“Through prose, poetry, scripture and reflection, Timothy Carroll artfully weaves life’s journey of yearning and failure,
discouragement and hope to new life in Christ. NOMAD is honest, pensive and candid about Timothy’s own struggles, questions and doubts about himself, the church and religious pretenders.” Come and catch up with an old friend or meet Timothy for the first time and check out his new book that takes a refreshingly honest look at life’s joys and sorrows. The book signing will be held May 22, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

YFC prepares for annual golf outing GREENVILLE – Youth for Christ is looking for people who want to make a difference for teenagers while having a great time in the process. On June 28, Youth for Christ of the Miami Valley will hold its 27th annual Golf Classic at the White Springs Golf Club to raise money for its work of helping teenagers find direction and hope. YFC’s annual golf classic is always a popular day with local golfers and an important part of furthering the ministry of YFC. The tournament features delicious food served all throughout the day. That experience is enhanced for those who choose to participate in a “Gold Class Upgrade.” By contributing or raising double the registration fee for the event, “Gold Class” players receive additional benefits such as steak sandwiches, a complimentary golf shirt, and chair massage. Another reason people enjoy YFC’s Golf Classic is because of the many prizes
that are available. Golfers are encouraged to solicit pledges rather than “paying to play.” Some still choose to simply pay their own registration, but wonderful prizes await those who are successful in raising the most in sponsorships. This year’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 “Fitbit” fitness band. In addition, great door prizes await all of the golfers who participate. Last year’s Youth for Christ Golf Classic yielded more than $21,500 to benefit YFC’s ministry. In addition to the portion of that total raised by the golfers, a significant amount of this income came from local businesses and individuals who sponsored holes, carts, and the grand prizes. Some businesses chose to go even beyond these levels with their support. These sponsorships are for those that want to more significantly support YFC and they will receive more significant advertising in return. This year, the goal is to raise $22,000, which means new sponsors and golfers are being sought. YFC staff members and volunteers work with teenagers in 12 different ministry sites throughout Darke and Preble Counties. This school year, staff and volun-

teers 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 appointments, large and small group meetings, multi-day retreats, service projects and special events. YFC primarily reaches out to teens that aren’t already involved in the Christian community, helping
them to discover lives of integrity and hope through personal relationships with Jesus Christ. YFC’s Annual Golf Classic is an important part of helping make sure that these programs continue and grow. Those interested in furthering the work of Youth for Christ through its annual Golf Classic should call YFC at 548-2477 or email YFC at office@yfcmv. org or visit yfcmv.org/ events.

Local musician hopes to inspire others in troubled times CLINTON RANDALL
STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE - Local musician and lifelong Greenville resident, Luke Nealeigh, is using his talents to help inspire members of the community to discover passion through art and entertainment. Whether it be music, movies, gaming or reading Nealeigh believes the vision of his new business The Riff Entertainment Store will help bring a musical platform to downtown Greenville. “It will help give the kids something to do on the weekends...instead of alcohol and drugs,” Nealeigh said. “We hope to bring in some bands to perform and maybe even help someone discover a passion for an instrument and hopefully even get more local bands back in Darke County like there used to be,” he added. Nealeigh has been in the current location since September of 2015. He and other local musicians have used the upstairs space as a recording studio, with the lower level previously being rented out. Now that Nealeigh is utilizing the entire building, his plan is to not only bring area bands to the downtown area, but also music and movie lovers a local place to find recent
and classic titles. “It will be kind of like Hastings Entertainment was in Richmond,” he explained. “People can come in and browse for CDs, movies and hopefully eventually books as well.” Nealeigh is certainly not a newbie to the music world. He and the majority of his family plays at least one instrument, but most are gifted in multiple. Luke himself took his first lesson from his dad at just the age of four... and has been hooked ever since. His dad is the owner of D.A. Music Studios at the other end of South Broadway. He says that if someone comes into Riff and wants to start learning to play an instrument...he knows just the place! Nealeigh has a way to go until his vision for Riff Entertainment is reality, but plans to start hosting benefit concerts real soon. Donations and event sponsors will be the driving factor in getting the venue off the ground and running. “We definitely want to have live music on First Friday’s and will go from there,” he concluded. The Riff Entertainment Store is located at 606 S. Broadway in Greenville. For more information, like them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ theriffentertainment.

DARKE COUNTY – A long-time volunteer was named the 2017 Senior Citizen of the Year during Wednesday’s annual Darke County Senior Citizen’s Day. Bruce Miller, 82, of Greenville, has spent the past four years serving others through his volunteer work with State of the Heart. According to Mindy Stebbins, president of the Darke County Senior Outreach, Miller began his volunteer work following the death of his wife, Carolyn. “Bruce has been an amazing asset to our family here at State of the Heart Care and will go above and beyond the call of duty whenever asked,” Stebbins said when introducing Miller to the more than 350 senior citizens gathered at Romer’s Catering in Greenville. Miller’s volunteer efforts are many, including getting flowers for patients, running the courier route to the other State of the Heart offices, making medication runs at any time of the day or night to all service areas when a patient is in need, helps with fundraising events,
takes supplies to families and helps with the special yearly project of delivering poinsettias to each patient at Christmas. Miller also helps home-bound State of the Heart patients by taking their pets to the veterinarian when needed. “I have never met someone so willing and eager to give themselves to others as Bruce. He goes above and beyond the call of duty and always has a smile on his face doing it. Bruce truly does live to help others,” Stebbins said. After raising their own children, Miller and his late wife, a nurse, spent many years serving as foster parents to 128 children. “The house was just too empty,” he said. The couple also opened their home to nine exchange students. In order to get Miller to attend the annual Senior Citizen’s Day luncheon, Stebbins said she had to tell him she needed help handing out the gift bags each attendee received. “I had to trick him to get him here.” Miller tearfully accepted his award on Wednesday. “I like to keep busy,” Miller said. “I like to do things for other people. I have a quote: Volunteering is an outward expression of an inner feeling for people who need your help, even though we never know

who we were helping.” Miller’s initiation into volunteering came as a Boy Scout. He earned his Eagle award at the age of 15, in 1951. He also traveled for two months overseas with the Scouts providing many hours of service. Following graduation from Columbiana High School in eastern Ohio, Miller at-
tended Heidelberg College in Tiffin, playing both football and basketball. He received four letters in each sport and was named to the Little All-American Football Team. He went on to play offensive tackle for the Baltimore Colts for three years. Miller worked for International Harvester for 40 years.
Walking to give every baby a fighting chance RYAN BERRY
MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – The temperatures where cool, but the rain stayed away and the sun came shining through for the annual Darke County March for Babies presented by March of Dimes on May 6. Approximately 300 walkers showed their support for the work March of Dimes is doing in educating families about premature births and diligently searching for the cause of birth defects and premature births and possible solutions. They will raise approximately $65,000 through this annual fundraiser. However, supporters have until June 30 to raise additional funds for this year’s March for Babies. “We saw how important the health of moms and babies is to the people of Greenville and Darke County,” says Jackie Allen, executive director, March of Dimes Greater Dayton Market. “I’m so proud to be part of this community of people who came together to give all babies a healthy start in life. Babies should be a top priority all year round, and we’re excited about what we’ve accomplished at this year’s Darke County March for Babies,” says Hallie McIntyre, Development Manager, March of Dimes Greater Dayton Market. Bill LaFramboise, of Greenville Technology, Inc. (GTI) and pre-walk emcee, said, “Today is a celebration. We celebrate

babies. We celebrate our families and we celebrate our victories. We’ve raised money together to put an end to future birth defects and all serious problems that put our babies at risk. Today we’ll walk together to give every baby a fighting chance.” The money raised by March of Dimes goes to research, education and family support. According to LaFramboise, most of the money raised in Darke County stays in this area. One of the families benefiting from the work March of Dimes has done is the Stebbins family. Jason and Mindy Stebbins’ daughter Caleigh was born at 34-weeks and was fivepounds. Caleigh, age 7, spoke to the walkers and explained she had trouble breathing and was in the neo-natal intensive care
unit for the first few days of her life. In addition to her parents, Caleigh was joined on the walk by her sister, Ella. The Stebbins performed a lei ceremony to create a spirit of warmth and welcome. LaFramboise explained, “It is this spirit that we honor the incredible journey of NICU moms and dads and welcome our families who have experienced loss with warmth into a community that love you, supports you and grieves with you.” Walkers took a moment of silence to remember the thousands of families that have experienced loss. Justin Cousino, corporate counsel and manager of human resources at GTI, explained GTI has been a strong supporter of March of Dimes for many years. The company invests a lot of time in ef-
fort the program because most of the money stays in the area. Being one of the lead sponsors year-in and year-out, GTI always has a strong contingent of walkers and supporters. This year, the company raised over $40,000 at their Greenville plant. GTI’s Anderson, Ind. plant, which is one-fifth the size, raised over $10,000. One of the biggest fundraiser GTI uses to raise money for March of Dimes is to raffle off a company car that is being replaced. This year’s Honda Accord winner is Shelly Wagner. Local corporate sponsors for March for Babies are GTI, Dave Knapp Ford Lincoln, Wayne HealthCare, Second National Bank and Greenville Federal. The Early Bird/Bluebag Media is the media sponsor for the event.

Business supports Empowering programs GREENVILLE – Eric Fee, owner of Oliver Floyd and Braund Pope Funeral Homes, continues his support of Empowering Darke County Youth programs, presenting his first of two checks for 2017 to Krista Stump, Empowering treasurer. Shortly after purchasing Oliver Floyd Funeral Home in January 2016, Fee added Empowering Programs to his community support efforts. He is continuing that support in 2017. Fee, through both funeral homes, is involved in a variety of community programs. His stat-
ed goal is to support the community that supports his services. Empowering Darke County Youth is a 501c3 community service organization, organized a year ago March to work with children who need help in the basics: reading, grammar and math.

Brazil is library’s feature film in May
GREENVILLE – Join Greenville Public Library on May 18, 7 p.m., for this month’s feature film. They will be watching and discussing Brazil. Brazil is a 1985 dystopian science fiction film directed by Terry Gilliam and written by Gilliam, Charles McKeown, and Tom Stoppard. The film stars Jonathan Pryce and features Robert De Niro, Kim Greist, Michael Palin, Katherine Helmond, Bob Hoskins and Ian Holm. It centers on Sam Lowry, a man trying to find a woman who appears in his dreams while he is working
in a mind-numbing job and living in a small apartment, set in a consumerdriven dystopian world in which there is an overreliance on poorly maintained machines. Brazil’s bureaucratic, totalitarian government is reminiscent of the government depicted in George Orwell’s Nineteen EightyFour except it has a buffoonish, slapstick quality and lacks a Big Brother figure. Film critic Jack Mathews described the film as “satirizing the bureaucratic, largely dysfunctional industrial world that had been driving Gilliam crazy all his life.” It’s named after the recurrent theme song, Ary Barroso’s “Aquarela do Brasil,” as performed by Geoff Muldaur. Ryan Carpe will be leading a brief discussion after the movie and as always there will be free theater popcorn, candy, coffee, and Jones Soda.

Of his time at FM, Gish says, “This has been a glorious and amazing journey for me with wonderful students, parents, colleagues, and an amazing community. There are no words to describe what these 44 years have been.” In addition to the joy that his colleagues, area families, and students have brought him, he also emphasized the importance of public education in general. “For those who doubt public education, I wish you could have followed me around all these years.” He noted he has seen students learn and grow so much and, in turn, he has also grown and benefited immensely from his time at FM. In his upcoming free time Gish plans to focus
on publishing more of his creative writing, visit his daughters and grandchildren more, and to spend time with his cats, Sebas-
tian and Sugar Boy Gish. His daughters have planned a retirement open house on Saturday, May 20, 2017 from 5:30-7:30
Coupon required. Expires 5-31-17
p.m. in the Franklin Monroe cafeteria. The community is invited to celebrate Gish’s many years of dedicated service and teaching.

A Gathering of Eagles available at Garst GREENVILLE – Until now, button historians have had almost no records or archaeological material to help define the use, styles and dates of military uniform buttons used in the Ohio campaigns against the Indians.

settle the questions. Over 1,200 buttons have been recovered at these three different sites, which were built and used at different periods during the 1790s. By comparing the buttons found and used by the different armies at each site, they are now able to determine what the Wayne’s Legion button style actually is. The book, a Gathering of Eagles: The Study of 17921796 Wayne Legion Button Types was produced by Dr. David Cox, Ian McAtee and Greg Shipley. The variation of buttons used by the different armies in this area is astounding. At first glance the buttons seem similar, but a closer look one will find the buttons from St. Clair’s army in Ft. Jefferson or Wayne’s army in Greenville differ tremendously. The eagle is the common theme on the buttons, but from there one will see buttons with and without stars, arrows and olive branches. The shape of the wings, head, neck and legs also differ greatly. There are 11 variations of
