Early Bird/Bluebag earn editorial awards GREENVILLE – The Early Bird and Bluebag Media were once again recognized by the Mid-Atlantic Community Papers Association for outstanding editorial content. For the second consecutive year, The Early Bird’s Veterans Day publication, A Salute to Our Veterans, was awarded ﬁrst place for Community Service – Separate Section. Clinton Randall earned second place for Original Writing – News Story. A Salute to Our Veterans is an annual publication that features and honors local veterans. The 2015

edition had over 150 pictures of local veterans as well as feature stories and memories from our servicemen while they served on the battleﬁeld. Randall’s news story, Suspects Indicted in Multi-County Theft Ring, depicted how the Darke County Sheriff’s Department worked with multiple departments across an 11-county region for over a year to bring a 74-count indictment against seven individuals. Managing Editor Ryan Berry said, “The Early Bird and Bluebag Media are very fortunate to have

a great editorial staff. This staff knows the community very well and has many years of experience reporting breaking news, covering events and writing about the people and places in our community. Clinton Randall, Susan Hartley and Gaylen Blosser are second to none in keeping our readers informed and entertained.” Publisher and owner Keith Foutz added, “The Early Bird and Bluebag Media has become a high quality newspaper that is both informative as well as entertaining. We’re blessed to have such an

awesome editorial staff that shares in our vision of being Darke County’s newspaper of choice. From late breaking news to the latest sporting events, we’ve got you covered.” Foutz continued, “To receive consistent recognition from one’s peers in the industry certainly validates these statements both in print as well as with our digital presence.” He concluded, “My brother (Fred Foutz, co-owner) and I are proud of our entire team and look forward to the future with great expectations as we continue to expand.”

Stephens named Arcanum OFD parade marshal RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

ARCANUM – “The opening of little league baseball was a big deal,” said John Stephens, superintendent of Arcanum Schools. “I would get up early and get ready to go play.” After the games he and his family would run up town. “I remember the food, high school karaoke and the dance sponsored by the Arcanum Fire Department,” he said as he shared some of his memories of Old Fashioned Days. Move ahead 20+ years and the young man that was once running through the streets of Arcanum will be riding and waving as he heads down a few of those streets as the 2016 Old Fashioned Days Parade Marshal. Stephens has called

the Arcanum area home for most of his life. He graduated from Arcanum High School in 1994 and played sports throughout his adolescent and high school days. Little did he know then that he would one day be asked to lead the parade that is unofﬁcially considered the start of festival season in Darke County. He pointed out when the Old Fashioned Days committee contacted him he was surprised and humbled by the invitation. As superintendent of Arcanum Schools, he believes the invitation puts into perspective the importance of the school district in a small community. “There are a lot of positive things going on at the school and this is not just about me leading the school organization.” While Stephens is a

John Stephens

hometown boy, his career originally took him in a different direction. All he ever wanted to do was be a fourth and ﬁfth grade teacher, but that all changed when he talked to Wayne Combs, former Arcanum superintendent. After teaching in the Vandalia-Butler School system for several years, Stephens and his wife,

Mary, began looking for a place to call home. They looked in Vandalia and Brookville before ﬁnally deciding to move back to his hometown. It was about that same time Combs asked him if he had ﬁnished his master’s degree and if he would be interested in serving as principal at Arcanum Elementary. Stephens wasn’t sure if being a principal was what he wanted to do, but later admitted, “It was the only position that would have caused me to leave Vandalia.” In 2006, he accepted the position, but he knew he would need to work hard to show he deserved the job. Because he had gone to school at Arcanum and had either been taught by some of the teachers or been classmates with board members or their sons and daughters, Stephens felt

he had to go above and beyond to prove to the teachers, staff, board and community he was more than capable of doing the job. He served as elementary principal for six years. With no intention of moving up further in the administration, he was contacted by a few persons taking a leadership course from the University of Dayton in Darke County. He recalled they needed a few more students to be able to offer the course locally. He was ﬁnishing his course work when he learned Mr. Scholler announced his retirement as Arcanum’s superintendent. The search was already underway before Stephens put his name in

for consideration. “I started looking at it and I felt like I was the right person for the job. I knew what the district and the community needed,” Stephens said. Stephens has served at the helm of Arcanum Schools for the past four years and is still working to make sure students succeed in whatever comes next. Stephens will be joined by his wife and two children, Luke, a ﬁrst-grader, and Drew, four-years-old, in the parade. The Arcanum Old Fashioned Days Parade will be held Saturday, May 21, 11 a.m., from the Arcanum School to the downtown area.

FM students ﬁnd way to serve local humane society SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

PITSBURG – Identifying themselves as “a group of friends who just wanted to do something positive,” five Franklin Monroe seventh-graders came up with an idea to provide service to the Darke County Humane Society. Between now and May 20, FM students in grades K-8 are collecting pet food and toys for the society and the winning class will earn free pizza from Pizza Hut. Twins Weston and Dean Sease set the service project in motion with friends and classmates Abigail Johnston, Mackenzie Singer and Phebe Allread. The students planned the pet food collection, printing off 500 fliers and visiting the elementary classrooms to explain how to donate. Donation boxes were provided for each classroom. The group of five friends said they had been think-

ing of a way to serve others for quite a while. “We always wanted to do something to help people,” Allread said. Helping the humane society was high on the list since all ﬁve students have pets at home. Last fall, they also held after school tutoring sessions, Dean Sease said. “We wanted to do something for a good

cause.”

Weston Sease said he was pleased with the support FM staff had provided with the pet food collection, especially principals PJ Burkett and Eric Hughes. “Also, our teacher Alicia Condy,” Weston said of the 7th grade English/Reading teacher. “She’s letting us store stuff we collect in her

classroom.” Weston said Pizza Hut also was happy to donate pizzas for the winning class. “We just called them up and explained what we were doing and they said they’d be glad to support us.” Points are assigned to speciﬁc items and size of the items, Weston explained, for example, a big bag of dog food merits more points than a small can of food. The community also may donate to the cause, Weston said, by dropping items off at the school. “These students have been talking about this food drive all year,” said high school principal PJ Burgett, noting that after tabling the idea through the winter months, this spring the students came back to him with their plan ready to implement. “The thing I love about it is that it’s completely student-driven,” Burgett said of the food drive. “They found a need and decided to do it.”

Arcanum students give back CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

ARCANUM – The Arcanum-Butler High School held its fourth year of the Serve Arcanum event last week. The event is held each year to give the high school students a chance to give back to their community. This year nearly 300 students, in grades 9-12, volunteered their time by helping to clean yards, wash windows and more at local homes. They also went to local businesses and even helped wash and wax some ﬁre engines at

the Arcanum Fire Department. A major project this year was the erecting of new playground equipment and painting the gazebo at Ivester Park . “While we strive for student academic excellence in the classroom, we want our students to learn the importance of leading and serving their community,” Arcanum Superintendent John Stephens told The Early Bird. “Additionally, providing the service allows us the opportunity to thank members of our community and is one of the most enjoyable days of the school year for me personally.”

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT

Greenville Police make drug and disorderly conduct arrests Drugs

On May 7, police observed a vehicle traveling southbound on South Broadway with an expired registration sticker. The officer checked the registration through LEADS/NCIC and also found the driver had been given a suspension. The officer recognized the operator of the vehicle as a person he had arrested on a felony drug abuse warrant in late April. The officer activated his emergency lights to conduct a traffic stop. After speaking with the defendant (not named in the report) the officer determined the defendant’s responses were questionable and asked the defendant to exit the

vehicle. The defendant gave his approval for the officer to conduct a probable cause search of the vehicle and admitted there was a pipe in the car. Upon searching, the officer found a pipe in the console under the shifter, a syringe on the driver’s side floor and another syringe in the driver’s side door frame. Both syringes had a liquid- like substance in them and the lettering on the sides of both syringes appeared to be worn off, making them appear to be used. Inside of a cigarette pack, also located in the console of the vehicle was a clear bag with a small amount of green leafy vegetation that had the odor and appearance of marijuana. The

defendant stated he had smoked marijuana two hours prior to the traffic stop. The defendant also said the syringes may belong to either himself or a friend from “a long time ago” when he used drugs. The defendant was issued citations for expired registration, driving under suspension and possession of a drug abuse instrument, then released from the scene. The drug paraphernalia items were taken as evidence and placed into property. Both sryinges were sent to the Miami Valley Regional Crime Lab for further analysis. On May 5, an officer was called to Greenville Junior High on the report of a student found with drugs and drug paraphernalia found on his person. The suspect, a juvenile male, was waiting in the office. The principal, Chris Mortenson, handed the officer a bag of green leafy material, which was later identified as marijuana and a glass blue and yellow smoking pipe, which contained burnt marijuana. Another student informed the principal that the defendant had the items on his person. The defendant stated that he was holding the items for another person, but refused to tell the principal and officer who that person was. The juvenile was cited for drug possession and drug paraphernalia. The items were taken as property and the student was left in the custody of the school. The items were field tested at the police department and tested positive for marijuana. On May 10, officers were dispatched to the 400 block of Washington Avenue in reference to a Jeffrey McDowell possibly being at a residence. McDowell had a felony warrant out of Darke County for probation violation on an original charge of forgery and trafficking in heroin. Upon arrival, one officer went to the front door of the residence while the other went to the back door. After knocking on the door several times, the officer who was at the back door ran to the front to alert the other officer he had observed McDowell jump from a window on the south side of the residence and run south in the alley between Washington and Gray avenues. After a brief pursuit, McDowell

fell to the ground in the 500 block of Washington and was ordered to stay on the ground. He informed officers he had two syringes in his lower pants packet and also several capsules of heroin in a cigarette pack. McDowell’s warrant was confirmed with dispatch. The drugs were removed from McDowell’s pockets and officers determined that 10 of the 12 capsules were mostly empty with a powdery residue inside. McDowell stated that the capsules contained heroin and told officers he had used the syringes to inject. He was transported to the Darke County Jail and incarcerated for possession of heroin as well as possession of drug abuse paraphernalia. A field test on the suspected heroin tested positive. All capsules and paraphernalia were packaged and placed into evidence. The items will be transported to the Miami Valley Regional Crime Lab for further analysis. The case has been submitted to the Darke County Prosecutor for charges to be filed. On May 6, police received an anonymous tip that Daniel Trittschuh was staying at his sister’s residence in the 100 block of South Ohio Street. Trittschuh had a felony warrant out of Montgomery County and also a warrant out of Moraine Police Department. Two officers went to the residence and attempted to make contact. The resident of the home gave permission for police to enter the home and Trittschuh was located. Police conducted a search of Trittschuh and found an empty syringe in his front jeans pocket. The defendant stated that it was his and it was old. He also admitted to being addicted to heroin. Trittschuh received a citation for drug paraphernalia and was transported to the county jail with no bond. Both Montgomery County and Moraine authorities were contacted and said they would make arrangements to pick up the defendant. The syringe was placed into property at the Greenville Police Department. Overdose On May 6, two officers responded to the 200 block of Anderson Avenue in reference to a possible drug overdose. Attempts by the rescue squad to

revive the Jessica Smith were unsuccessful. According to reports, the deceased had a history of heroin abuse. Officers conducted a search of the residence, but no drugs were found. Autopsy results are pending. Disorderly On May 7, officers were dispatched to the 300 block of East Fourth Street in reference to a disorderly complaint. Upon arrival, the officers saw Alicia Jett stumbling in the street. Jett had a strong odor of alcohol coming from her person. The officers offered her a ride home, but she refused. She was given a warning for disorderly conduct then released to the custody of a family member in the area. About 15 minutes later, officers and rescue personnel were dispatched back to the area in reference to Jett being disorderly and punching out a window at a residence in the 300 block of East Fourth Street. Dispatch advised officers that Jett had pushed out the front glass of a storm door at the residence and had caused injury to a resident at the home. Jett was located in the alley of the 400 block of East Fourth and was asked several times to stop walking by officers. She continued to walk away before eventually sitting down on the ground. Jett’s speech was slurred and officers again detected a strong odor of alcohol. Her right hand was covered in blood and appeared to have several scrapes on it, consistent with the broken window. Rescue was dispatched to evaluate Jett’s injuries. While rescue was on its way, the officers were notified of another fight

taking place in the area of the complainant/victim’s residence. One officer stayed with Jett while the other went to the scene of the fight. While checking that scene out, he was called back to Jett’s location on the report that she was again being disorderly, had taken off her shirt and was yelling obscenities. Greenville Township Rescue arrived and attempted to transport Jett for her hand injury, but she was uncooperative with squad members. She was then informed she was being placed under arrest. Officers attempted to put handcuffs on Jett, but she kept pulling away and was not being cooperative. After several attempts, Jett was put into the back of a police cruiser and transported to Wayne Health where she was treated for her hand injury. Again, following several attempts, she was placed in handcuffs and transported to the Darke County Jail and issued a citation for disorderly conduct, criminal damaging and resisting arrest. She was being held on a bond of $1,825. THE EARLY BIRD POLICY The Greenville Police Beat is prepared from public records available at the Greenville Police Department.

BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – A new indoor vendor mall has opened in downtown Greenville. The Funky Monkey, located at 205 Martin Street, opened its doors April 30 and features toys, books, furniture, clothing and other unique gifts and arts and crafts. So far, according to coowner Cheri Leonard, the mall has six vendors displaying their wares. “We’re getting ready to renovate the basement, so will have additional space to rent,” Leonard said. Leonard and her husband, Ryan, who manages the Piqua Kentucky Fried Chicken, and his sister, Nikki Spencer, all of New Madison, said they’d been looking to open a business. “For the past several years we wanted to start a business, but didn’t know what,” said Leonard, who recently completed her associate’s degree in business administration with certiﬁcation in accounting from Ivy Tech in Richmond, Ind. The Leonards would visit area ﬂea markets, sometimes selling their own items, so the idea was

born. “We knew if we didn’t start something now we wouldn’t,” she said. With both Leonard and Spencer ﬁnishing up their own schooling, they decided the time was right. The idea for the name Funky Monkey came from Leonard’s husband. “His favorite TV show is Gas Monkey,” she said. “We played around with names and he suggested Funky Monkey. He told me ‘you can’t say Funky Monkey and not get a smile on your face’ so the name stuck.” Leonard got busy designing the business logo and rounding up vendors. Vendors pay a monthly

rent for their booth or table space, Leonard said. The business provides the sale tags for each item. Vendors bring in their merchandise and set up their own displays. “We try to keep the prices reasonable,” Leonard said of items for sale. “We have some unique and one-of-a-kind gift items. And provide good customer service.” Hours for the Funky Monkey are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and 12-4 p.m. Sunday. For information on renting booth or table space, call Funky Monkey at 547-0222.

FM students Dani Robinson and Tristen Collins donated money to the Nestor scholarships, which are being administered by the Pitsburg Lions Club. (Susan Hartley photo)

Scholarships receive donation from FM fundraiser BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

PITSBURG – Thanks to a recent fundraiser by Franklin Monroe students, nearly $600 has been donated to the Pitsburg Lions Club. The money will go toward two scholarships in honor of the late Kaylynn, 13 and Hudson Nestor, 17. The scholarships are being administered by the Lions Club. The Nestor siblings died in December 2015, as the result of a tragic automobile accident. Two FM seventh-graders planned the fundraiser, designing and ordering bracelets for students and staff to purchase, as well as a bake sale. The brainchild of Tristen Collins with help from her friend Dani Robinson, the scholarship fundraiser

seemed like a natural thing to do. Tristen and Katy served together as cheerleaders for their school. The bracelets are imprinted with the Nestor siblings’ names and ‘Forever in our hearts.’ “I knew them very well,” Tristen said of the brother and sister. “She had a big impact on my life.” Money from the fundraiser will be added to other monetary donations beneﬁtting the scholarships, said Principal PJ Burgett. “I’m so very proud of the kids coming up with something like this,” Burgett said. “They do it because it’s the right thing to do.” The ﬁrst scholarship will be given to a member of Hudson’s 2017 graduating class, with the second going to a member of Katy’s Class of 2020.

ON YOUR MIND

READERS WRITE

Protecting Children is Utmost Concern To the Editor: May is National Foster Care Month. Every day my caseworkers at Darke County Children Services/Job and Family Services strive to protect children from abuse and neglect, stabilize families in crisis, and attempt to improve the wellbeing of youth in foster care by seeking permanent homes. That’s why I was saddened, and very concerned to learn that staff at Allen County Children Services had their homes vandalized, and their families threatened last week as a result of a foster family’s campaign against the agency’s decision to place a child with relatives. As the legal “parent” of the 25 children currently in Darke County custody, and supervisor of an additional 27 children receiving protective services, I understand that emotions do run high over child protection cases, but threats against the safety of our agency staff who are simply doing their job are unacceptable. According to a 10-year analysis by Public Children Services Association of Ohio, such threats have been all too common since a Franklin County caseworker was murdered during a home visit in 2001. Most safety threats against caseworkers occur during custody discussions and initial assessments, and take the form of verbal/ written threats and verbal aggression. While pushback against the agency decisions is common, the public often does not understand that caseworker actions are carefully dictated by state and federal law – such as the requirement that we make reasonable efforts to reunite a child with parents, or place with kin before making the child available for adoption. Moreover, custody decisions are overseen, ordered and enforced by the county juvenile court with jurisdiction over the child. Each May, we try to recognize foster parents for their selfless service to children who, through no fault of their own, must enter foster care. During this National Foster Care Month, we extend our sincerest gratitude to the countless foster caregivers of Darke County who must complete rigorous training and background checks, welcome children into their homes in the middle of the night, and work with biological parents toward reunification. They do all of this for very little compensation or public recognition. Even when foster caregivers disagree with agency decisions, we must work to resolve conflicts in a civil and peaceful manner. Vandalism, threats and violence are never acceptable. Sincerely, Gracie G. Overholser, director Darke County Children Services/Job and Family Services ~~~~~~~~~~ It’s getting nice outside... Ah, May. It’s getting nicer outside. People are spending more time outdoors doing fun activities, and of course the much needed chores like taking care of the lawn. Warmer weather also means the motorcycle enthusiasts are getting out too, ready to shake off the coldweather blahs with some needed wind therapy. Let’s protect the safety of bike riders by NOT blowing your grass clippings into the street. If a motorcycle needs to suddenly decelerate or make a quick maneuver to avoid something, they won’t be able to if they’re on those clippings. It’s like riding on ice. There’s almost a 100% guarantee there will be an accident with possible injuries as well, not to mention the damage that will happen to the bike. So as a motorcycle enthusiast myself, I ask everyone mowing their yard to please, please, PLEASE DO NOT BLOW YOUR CLIPPINGS INTO THE STREET. By blowing the clippings back into your yard, the subsequent passes over them with your mower will create a fine mulch that will feed your lawn, making it healthier. Motorcycles like the Honda Goldwing to Harley Davidson’s Road King, bikes can be expensive and most riders spend a lot of time keeping their bikes clean and polished. Some might say that bike riders may spend more time taking care of their ride than they do their significant other. So why risk the possibility of an injury to the rider (and possible passenger) and damage to that beautiful bike? So please, I beg everyone reading this to never blow your grass clippings into the street... It just makes sense... Harry Mills New Madison

Medical Marijuana Legislation passes COLUMBUS—Legislation to legalize medical marijuana passed the Ohio House of Representatives today. The bill works to tightly regulate the distribution of medical marijuana, while ensuring access to those who need the medicine for certain conditions. Among the components of House Bill 523 is the creation of the Medical Marijuana Control Commission, consisting of nine people representing all sides of the medical marijuana issue and appointed by the Governor and legislative leaders. The commission is responsible for regulating and licensing seed-to-sale operations of the drug, such as cultivators, retail dispensaries, independent testing labs, processors and physicians. Through working oneon-one with patients, physicians licensed by the State Medical Board can recommend medical marijuana, though they may not personally furnish or dispense the product. Physicians must keep a log of the rec-

ommendations of medical marijuana, as well as the conditions and reasons for why marijuana was recommended for treatment over another drug. “House Bill 523 is all about the patients,” said Rep. Stephen Huffman, the bill’s sponsor and a practicing physician for more than 20 years. “I believe that this develops a great balance for the needs of patients, physicians, and the citizens of Ohio. It also sets limits to avoid wider use of medical marijuana in the state of Ohio.” The bill provides protections for businesses to allow employers to maintain drug-free policies in the workplace, ensuring the safety of all employees and the efﬁciency of the business as whole. The legislation is a result of much deliberation, including seven hearings and nearly 25 hours of testimony in the Medical Marijuana Task Force, a panel spearheaded by Ohio House Speaker Cliff Rosen-

Healthy and Safe Swimming Week GREENVILLE – The Darke County Health Department would like to keep this swimming season a safe and healthy one for you. Whether you go to a public pool, swim at home, or in a pond, or go boating on the lake, there are several things you can do to stay safe. No matter where you swim, these simple rules will help you stay healthy and avoid getting sick. 1) Shower before and after getting in the water. 2) Stay out of the water if you have diarrhea. Diarrhea is the number one Recreational Water Illness spread each year. 3) Do not use the water as a restroom. 4) Do not change diapers by the pool, use a bathroom or baby changing station. 5) Take kids on frequent bathroom breaks. 6) Do not swallow the water. Before you enter a pool there are several safety details you can look for. 1)

Clean and clear pool water. You should be able to easily see the bottom of the pool. 2) Smooth pool sides. Tiles should not be sticky or slippery. 3) No odor. A wellchlorinated pool will have a slight odor, but a strong chemical odor indicates a maintenance issue. 4) Pool equipment working. Pool pumps and ﬁltration systems make noise and you should hear them running. 5) No lifeguard. 6) Overcrowded pool.

berger (R-Clarksville) and chaired by Rep. Kirk Schuring (R-Canton). The task force heard testimony from several experts from around the country, as well as employers, law enforcement ofﬁcers, Ohioans suffering from severe pain, and drug addiction facilities. Schuring also chaired the Select Committee on Medical Marijuana, a bipartisan group of House legislators who held nine hearings over the past three weeks on House Bill 523. “This bill is the result of an open process throughout the task force and select committee that included input from people on all sides of the issue,” Schuring said. “It was important that the legislature lead on this issue, and I believe House Bill 523 strikes a balance between meeting the needs of Ohioans with serious medical conditions and taking a step to protect our state constitution.” Also under the bill: * Home-growing marijuana is prohibited * Smoking marijuana is prohibited

* The Commission will conduct background checks on all applicants * The Commission will establish and maintain a record containing the number of patients and medical conditions for which medical marijuana is recommended * The General Assembly and Administration will advocate Congress and the US Drug Enforcement Administration to reschedule marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule II * The General Assembly shall create an incentive program for institutions of higher learning and medical institutions to perform academic and medical research * Minors must have consent from a parent or guardian to use medical marijuana If signed into law, medical marijuana legalization would be phased in within a two-year period: One year to promulgate rules and another year to move forward for implementation. The bill now awaits consideration by the Ohio Senate.

SR 571 honors fallen Vietnam soldiers

COLUMBUS — State Representative Jim Buchy (R-Greenville) applauded the signing of Senate Bill 182 into law by Governor Kasich last Friday, legislation that will designate bridges and roadways including the naming of part of State Route 571 as the “196th Light Infantry Brigade SP4 Robert L. Fowble, Jr. and PFC Jack E. Beam Memorial Highway.” “With the Governor’s signature we are able to commemorate the sacriﬁce of SP4 Robert L. Fowble, Jr. and PFC Jack E. Beam and their fellow brigade members during the Vietnam Conﬂict,” Buchy said. “Please keep these men in mind when driving between

Union City and Greenville on State Route 571.” The signing of SB 182 recognizes fallen soldiers through various bridge and highway designations including the “196th Light Infantry Brigade SP4 Robert L. Fowble, Jr. and PFC Jack E. Beam Memorial Highway,” sponsored by Rep. Buchy. Robert L. Fowble, Jr., and Private First Class Jack E. Beam both served in Vietnam as members of the 196th Infantry Brigade and were killed in action in 1966. The highway includes a portion of State Route 571, beginning at the southeastern boundary of Union City and ending at the western boundary of Greenville.

Arcanum teams sweep conference BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

ARCANUM - The Arcanum baseball and softball teams completed the regular season as not only Cross County Conference champions, but both unbeaten in conference play. The softball team ended conference play with a victory over Tri-County North last Thursday and ﬁnished the regular season with a non-conference win over Northridge the next day to end with an impressive (22-2) overall record and perfect (11-0) in the conference. “The girls did a tremendous job all season long... and played well together as a team,” said Lady Trojans Coach Rick Stone. “Our goal now is obviously a state championship and we have to come out playing our best. Anyone can beat anybody on any given day!” Sadly, the season came to a sudden end Wednesday as the Lady Trojans were upset in their Sec-

tional opener against Milton-Union. The defending CCC champion Trojans baseball team finished their season with a conference win over rival Franklin Monroe last Friday to repeat as Cross County Conference champs. They finished the regular season with an (18-3) record and with a spotless (11-0) conference record. “We knew coming into the season we had a target on our heads as the defending CCC champs,” Arcanum Baseball Coach Randy Baker explained. “We have had several ups and downs during the season...so to finish with an unbeaten record in a tough conference like the CCC means a lot.” Arcanum scored two runs in the sixth inning Thursday afternoon to beat Brookville 2-1 in their first postseason game. On Wednesday, the Trojans will battle Versailles for the Sectional title at Carlisle High School.

GREENVILLE – Greenville’s new athletic director, Dusty Yingst brings experience and a Sports Management Major with a minor in business from Bowling Green State University to the Wave sports program. “My sports management field is what they call Sports Management Enterprise,” explained Yingst. “It’s the business side of sports. seventy-five percent of the class work that I did at Bowling Green was business, accounting, finance and marketing.” Dusty and his wife Crystal are the parents of two children; Garrett 2-1/2 years and Ainsley one month. The 2004 Covington High School graduate served four years as Bradford’s AD and is completing his first year as the Mississinawa-Valley AD and Transportation Supervisor. While attending Bowling Green, Yingst spent four years as the men’s basketball team student manager. Yingst competed his final internship after graduation spending an entire semester at Covington

High School under the leadership of Coach Roger Craft, Covington’s longtime athletic director. Dusty took employment with the Covington Savings and Loan while still looking for a high school athletic director position. “I got a call from Mr. (Jeff) Patrick (Bradford Superintendent)… they had an opening for their AD position at Bradford,” said Yingst. “Mr. Patrick wanted to know if I was still interested. He still had my resume I had sent him the previous year, so I went in and interviewed with Mr. Patrick (and two others) three or four times.” Yingst got the Bradford AD position and served four years at the school before accepting the Mississinawa-Valley AD position last year. A valuable asset Yingst brings with the AD job is an understanding of bus scheduling and working with school bus drivers having served as transportation supervisor at both Bradford and Mississinawa-Valley. Greenville fans can expect to see Yingst at many Green Wave sporting events. “I love attending games,” stated Yingst. “Attending athletic events is huge. If you are going to be an ath-

letic director you better enjoy watching sports and being involved in those sports. It also gives me a time to watch the student athletes perform.” “Being visible in the community and at athletic events is crucial,” added Yingst. “It’s something that I enjoy and something that I take very seriously. It doesn’t matter what sport it is. You have to be there for the kids, especially the student athletes. They have to know you care about what is going on.” Yingst has his wife’s full support accepting the AD position at Greenville. “Crystal is 100 percent behind this as a career and for our family,” Yingst said. “It’s a great opportunity for us to grow as a family and meet new people.”

“Crystal has always had an athletic background herself,” continued Yingst. “She was in three sports (volleyball, softball and basketball) in high school. She coached JV softball and JV basketball at Bradford for a few years.” Yingst was quick to express appreciation to his high school AD, Covington’s current athletic director Roger Craft. “He is thrilled for this opportunity that I am presented with as much as I am thrilled for it too,” Yingst said. “Coach Craft has always been a supporter of mine. We talk on a regular basis. He is somebody that I respect and look up to especially as an athletic director, but even as a coach and just as a person.”

Guillozet signs with West Liberty University BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Clay Guillozet, the son of Scott and Tonnya Guillozet, signed with West Liberty University to continue his education while taking his basketball skills to the next level for the Hilltoppers. He plans of studies in sports management with a minor in business. “Definitely excited… definitely a big honor to play at the next level,” Guillozet stated following his signing. “It’s a big day for Clay,” said Greenville basketball coach Michael Bashore. “West Liberty is a great school… one of the best D-II schools in the country the last six or seven years. Ranked No. I in the nation most of the last two years… like six straight elite eight’s. It’s a good fit for him.” Headlining the Hilltoppers’ website, the University announced Guillozet’s signing, stating: ‘Crutchfield lands Ohio scoring ace’ “West Liberty University head men’s basketball coach Jim Crutchfield has announced the signing of Clay Guillozet, a recordsetting scorer from Greenville (Ohio) High School.” “A 6’2” guard, Guillozet was a rare 4-year starter at the western Ohio school and spent the better part of his stellar career rewrit-

A multitalented athlete… and with his basketball skill set, he will fit well into our style of play.” “Clay has a great sense of right and wrong off the court,” added Crutchfield. “I have to live four years with our players and Clay will fit in well.” Guillozet shattered the Green Wave all-time boys and girls basketball scoring records while posting new records in assists and

They average over 100 points a game. Clay’s ability to handle the ball and make smart decisions with the basketball and his shooting, he is a perfect ﬁt for that school.” The Greater Western Ohio Conference (GWOC) twice named Guillozet the North Division basketball player of the year. A four-year starting varsity quarterback, Guillozet set the all-time passing record on the gridiron

for the Wave. “I loved both sports growing up,” said Guillozet of his football and basketball days at Greenville. “He’s just a great kid,” said Greenville football coach Aaron Shaffer. “Does things the right way… classroom, athletically and socially. I couldn’t be happier for him and his family. The opportunity to play basketball at the scholarship level.” “I think he will be one of the best DII players in the country by the time he’s a senior,” concluded Coach Bashore. “He deﬁnitely left his mark here not only in basketball and football as well and he is going be missed by both of us.” LIKE US ON FACEBOOK

In typical Jerrod Newland fashion, Newland showed respect to the two Dayton schools scoring one-run over the minimum in Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game and nailing the minimum 10-runs needed for a 4-1/2-inning run-rule win in Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last two nights we have taken steps and that ladder has for steps left on it,â&#x20AC;? said Greenville Coach Jerrod Newland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait until Tuesday night at Piqua High School to compete.â&#x20AC;? With the two visiting teams unable to keep the Lady Wave off the base paths, coach Newland showed class with his girls â&#x20AC;&#x153;accidentlyâ&#x20AC;? leading off base too soon accounting for most of the Wave outs. As in Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament no-hitter, Al-

lison Minnich and Sydney Grote combined for their second tournament nohitter. Minnich set Marshall down in order in the top of the ďŹ rst including a strikeout. Ashton Kester opened the bottom of the ďŹ rst with a triple to deep center and scampered home on a Jazzlyn Petry RBI double giving the Lady Wave a 1-0 advantage. Four consecutive walks and a hit batsman had Greenville leading 3-0 before a Tess McClure RBI single had the Lady Wave owning a 4-0 lead. Minnich struck out the side in the top of the second while Greenville was making it a 7-0 game after two complete. The Lady Wave used four walks and singles off the bats of Petry, Cassie Cromwell and Lani Shilt to plate the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s runs. Inning No. 3 had the visitors going down in order including two Minnich strikeouts with the Wave getting a Petry RBI single to lead 8-0 after three. Grote took the mound in the top of the fourth throwing three strikeouts while walking one for Marshallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone runner of the night. Four walks, a ďŹ elderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice and a Petry 2-RBI double to center had the Lady Wave leading 11-0 with four-innings in the book. Marshall went down 1-2-3 in the top of the ďŹ fth with the Lady Wave moving on in tournament play.

TROY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Greenville closed out its season falling to the Troy Trojans 6-5 in the opening round of the D-I Ohio High School Athletic Association baseball tournament. Troy jumped out to a 3-0 ďŹ rst-inning lead on its home ďŹ eld and added a single run in the bottom of the second to lead 4-0. Brayden York led off the top of the third with a single to right, Kyle Mills battled back from an 0-2 count taking ďŹ rst by way of a one-out walk followed by a run scoring double off the bat of Logan Eldridge to break up the Trojans shutout. Wave third baseman Tanner Ross made it backto-back Greenville doubles

stroking a 2-RBI double to center sending the teams to the bottom of the inning with Troy leading 4-3. Troy took advantage of a Greenville error to plate a run to lead 5-3 after three complete. Greenville made it a 5-4 game to trail by one in the top of the fourth using an inning-opening single to center off the bat of Branden Beyke and a two-out Jacob Hounshell sacriďŹ ce ďŹ&#x201A;y to center. The Green Wave evened the score at 5-5 in the top of the sixth using a Troy error allowing Beyke to reach ďŹ rst and York knocking a twoout RBI single to right. Troy made it a 6-5 game in the top of the sixth with what would prove to be the ďŹ nal score.

UC Indians win ďŹ rst county tournament in nearly 30 years BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY, Ind. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It was a day of great pitching and big hitting as the Union City Indians claimed their ďŹ rst Randolph County baseball tournament title since 1987 last Saturday. The Indians found themselves down 1-0 in the semiďŹ nal game against a tough Monroe Central team. UC was able to ďŹ nally take a 3-1 in the top of the sixth inning. Behind a great outing by senior pitcher Bailey Hughes, the Indians were able to keep the Bears from mounting a comeback â&#x20AC;&#x201C; getting a 3-2 win and moving on to the tournament championship. On the mound, Hughes gave up just one earned run on three hits, while striking out 10 Golden Bears in the semiďŹ nal game. He pitched a complete seven innings for the Indians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew that was going to be a big gameâ&#x20AC;Śjust

a huge win for us,â&#x20AC;? said UC Head Coach Bill Bradbury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bailey (Hughes) was phenomenal on the mound and we played solid defense.â&#x20AC;? Following a short break to prepare the ďŹ eld, Union City squared off against the Rebels of Randolph Southern in the ďŹ nal. Southern came off a big comeback win earlier in the day against Winchester and was looking to now take down the Indians as well. However, UC came out on ďŹ re taking an early lead and not looking back. After missing the Monroe Central game, UC junior Tyler Thornhill got three hits with three RBIs for the Indians in the championship. Sophomore Jacob Fulk also recorded three hits and drove in two runs. Adding two hits a piece were, sophomore Zach Bradbury and senior Bailey Hughes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who pounded a 2-run shot over the centerďŹ eld fence to help extend the lead for UC. In addition to big hit-

WEST CARROLLTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Since coming up short in the GWOC tournament championship game last season, the Greenville Green 8th grade softball team has had one thing on their mindâ&#x20AC;ŚWin! During Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GWOC Tournament, Greenville ďŹ rst beat Miamisburg White 9-0, then Lebanon Maroon by a score of 11-1 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; before advancing to the championship game against the Centerville. The Lady Wave would not settle for another runner-up spot as they held off the Lady Elks to claim the GWOC Gold Bracket Championship by a ďŹ nal score of 6-1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These young ladies have had an awesome ju-

nior high career. In the two years I have been able to coach them, they are (34-1)â&#x20AC;Świth the only loss in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championship game,â&#x20AC;? stated Greenville Green Head Coach Misti Werner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just a great group of girls that play as a team.

According to Coach Werner, the 2016 Greenville Green team is the ďŹ rst to ever win the GWOC Tournament title. They ďŹ nished the season a perfect (18-0) and another GWOC North title, to boot. The Greenville White 7th graders came up just shy of a GWOC Tournament sweepâ&#x20AC;Śfalling to Troy in the Silver Bracket Championship game.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Get Moving, Kids! When I was a young girl, it was pretty common to ďŹ nd us outside with the neighbor kids for hours on end, playing in each othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; yards, playing tag, throwing balls. You knew it was dinner time because each kid would hear their momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice yell for them. We looked forward to days spent outside, and being inside wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really the norm. When I got a little older, my independence was dependent on having a working bicycle, like a lot of my friends. To be honest, we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really think about it much â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we just knew that was how things worked. Today, we face huge challenges to have a physically active neighborhood life. Many homes have air conditioning which was not the norm when I was a child (I am now 48 years old), so the houses are closed up when it is hot/ humid. In addition, many homes have cable, laptops, tablets, smartphones â&#x20AC;&#x201C;

Diana Unger

Personal Trainer all with video games and social media galore. It is easy to stay inside and sit. Activity levels are low for kids and adults alike, and health challenges increase. There are many factors that contribute to this, but this month, we tackle how to get the kids moving â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially as summer nears. Aside from planned sporting events, other opportunities to move more during the day include walking to stores when possible, taking walks as a family after meals, riding bikes for family out-

ings, going on hikes at local parks, creating fun obstacle courses in backyards for young children, playing leap frog, playing kickball, and any other fun, outdoor activity that takes little preparation and equipment. Invite neighbors to join you. Go to a local park. Walk to the park if you can. Our parks system in Darke County is wonderful and has plenty to do outside. Check them out at www. darkecountyparks.org. Many municipalities have local parks worth checking out, as well. Here in Darke County there are plenty of opportunities to get kids of all ages involved in various organized fun activities. Both spring and fall we have the Healthy Kids Running Series, which is a national running program for kids organized locally through volunteers. There is a Facebook page for the Darke County program for more information.

Locally, there are 5k and other foot races, which can be walked or run. Whole families can even join in. Some of the races include fun runs of short distance for small children. Some of the events have small entry fees that beneďŹ t local charities. There are sports camps offered throughout the year through various schools â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some with little to no fee. My own children have participated in track camp, soccer camp, cheer fun day, and basketball camp. There are volleyball camps, wrestling programs, football camps and many others. Our local YMCA offers camps for kids in the summer, as well. There are many other opportunities locally. This article just names a few. The more you make it part of your life, the more your kids will make it part of their lives for life. It just becomes the way things are. And if you think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun, they will think it is fun. Start somewhere and

Frozen Yogurt-Blueberry Treats

Here is an idea for a kid-friendly snack for the summer time. The kids can help make this, as well. Pint or more of washed blueberries Plain Greek yogurt (or other plain yogurt) Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix the blueberries in the yogurt until they are covered with the yogurt. Scoop out and place on the parchment paper so that the blueberries arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t touching. Place the tray in the freezer. When they are frozen, remove and place in a freezer safe container or bag to store. Eat them when you want a sweet treat. Enjoy! (if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like blueberries, try other fruits.)

letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s create future generations of active people. Before your start an exercise program, be sure to consult with medical professionals. They know your personal medical history best.

Strategies to get back in a good mood Exercise can alleviate anxiety and stress, two common culprits behind bad moods. Adults know that life has its ups and downs. While it's important not to get too down when things don't go as planned, no one is immune to bad moods. But just because bad moods are a fact of life, that does not mean they cannot be combatted. While bad moods are nothing to get too worried about, if such moods overstay their welcome, speak with a physician. According

to the World Health Organization, depression is one of the most common mental disorders in the world, affecting an estimated 350 million people across the globe. There are various types of depression, and no two people are affected in the same way. That's an important distinction, as those who know someone with a history of depression may not recognize signs of depression in themselves if those symptoms don't mimic the signs they're familiar with. But bad moods are not

always indicative of depression. In those instances when a bad mood is simply a bad mood, you can try a handful of strategies to get back in a good mood. Âˇ Exercise. Numerous studies have shown that exercises enhances mood. Anxiety about a life event or stress at work are two common contributors to bad moods. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, studies have shown that exercise can elevate mood and do so quickly, with some researchers suggesting that a

10-minute walk can be just as effective at relieving anxiety as a 45-minute workout. Studies have also shown that exercise can help combat stress by reducing fatigue, improving alertness and concentration and enhancing overall cognitive function. Âˇ Ignore alcohol or limit your consumption. Many people feel an alcoholic beverage relaxes them, and feeling relaxed can help improve mood. That initial feeling of relaxation is the result of alcohol affecting the chemical balance of the

3 secrets to making morning workouts a reality Routine exercise is one of the keys to a healthy life. When paired with a healthy diet, regular exercise can promote long-term health and reduce a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s risk for a host of conditions and diseases, including diabetes, heart disease and stroke. While many adults are aware of the importance of routine exercise, ďŹ nding time to break a sweat can be difďŹ cult. In fact, a 2013 study from researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that nearly 80 percent of adults in the United States do not get the recommended amounts of exercise each week. (Note: The World Health Organization recommends that adults between the ages of 18 and 64 get at least 150 minutes of moderateintensity aerobic activity each week, or at least 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity each week.) Hectic schedules dominated by obligations to work and family can make it difďŹ cult to ďŹ nd time to exercise. But working out in the early morning, before the kids wake up and coworkersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; emails begin ďŹ&#x201A;ooding your inbox, can help men and women meet

the WHOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommended exercise guidelines and might even provide a noticeable energy boost throughout the rest of the day. Men and women can expect to run into some obstacles when ďŹ rst establishing a morning workout routine, but a few simple strategies can help make that transition go more smoothly. 1. Prepare the night before. Waking up with a to-do list in the morning takes away from the time you have to exercise. Rather than fumbling for your gym clothes and sneakers in the darkness of your pre-dawn

bedroom, lay out your workout gear before going to bed each night. Lay out your work clothes as well so you spend more time exercising in the morning and less time choosing an outďŹ t. 2. Set your alarm earlier than you intend to wake up. Few people wake up the moment their alarm clocks ďŹ rst go off. Snooze buttons may help you ease into your wakeup routine, but those post-snooze button minutes are minutes you could be spending getting your recommended daily exercise. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a snooze button devotee and you

Did you know? According to the National Institute of Mental Health, panic disorder is a type of anxiety disorder characterized by recurrent, unexpected panic attacks. Panic attacks occur suddenly and are periods of intense fear that may include palpitations, pounding heartbeat and/or accelerated heart rate. People in the midst of a panic attack may also experience shortness of breath or feel as though they are choking or being smothered. Feelings of impending doom may

also occur during a panic attack. Anxiety disorders, including panic disorders, may be caused by the interaction of certain genetic and environmental factors. These factors include behavioral inhibition in childhood, exposure to stressful life events in childhood and adulthood, anxiety disorders in close biological relatives and a parental history of mental disorders. Anxiety disorders are generally treated with psychotherapy or medication, or a combination of both.

want to be up by 6 a.m., then set your alarm for 5:50 a.m. 3. Get a good nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleep. In 2015, the National Sleep Foundation convened experts from sleep, anatomy and physiology, as well as pediatrics, neurology, gerontology and gynecology to reach a consensus on sleep guidelines for people of all ages. The panel recommends adults between the ages of 26 and 64 get between seven and nine hours of sleep per night, noting that anything less than six hours or more than 10 hours is not recommended. A good nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleep will help you feel more energetic when that alarm goes off, even if it is going off before the sun rises. Exercise and sleep go hand in hand, as studies have shown that routine exercise actually improves quality of sleep because exercise is a beneďŹ cial stressor to the body, which responds to the stress of exercise by increasing the amount of time the body spends in deep sleep. Many adults struggle to ďŹ nd time for daily exercise, but early morning might be the best time for busy men and women to break a sweat.

brain by depressing the part of the brain that governs inhibition. That's why alcohol is categorized as a depressant. While that initial drink may feel like you're on the way to a better mood, as alcohol begins circulating in the body, your stress levels may actually increase and your bad mood may even intensify. If you ďŹ nd yourself in a bad mood, resist turning to alcohol to improve mood, and limit your alcohol intake to a single drink during those times when you're in a bad mood. Âˇ Volunteer to help others. While more research is necessary before a deďŹ nitive connection between volunteering and improved mental health can be established, researchers in England analyzed data from 40 published papers and found a link between volunteering and lower levels of depression. The review also found that volunteers reported increased life satisfaction and enhanced well-being. Periodic bad moods are a part of life, but there are ways to limit their lifespan and get back to feeling good as quickly as possible.

Prediabetes Class at Wayne HealthCare GREENVILLE – The Prediabetes class is designed for anyone who has been diagnosed by a health care provider with prediabetes, impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance or metabolic syndrome. People often have prediabetes before developing type 2 diabetes. Individuals with prediabetes have blood glucose levels that are elevated, but are not high enough to be considered diabetes. Type 2 diabetes can be

delayed and even prevented with healthier habits during the pre-diabetes stage. The Prediabetes class teaches you how increases in physical activity, an improved diet and other positive lifestyle changes can delay or prevent type 2 diabetes. During the prediabetes class participants will: * Learn about the diagnosis of prediabetes. * Create a meal plan with good health, lifestyle and personal goals in mind.

* Learn ways to eat healthy by decreasing portions. * Make a personal physical activity plan. * Develop a plan for reasonable weight loss, if needed. The Prediabetes class is offered on May 25, 2016 from 1-3 p.m. in the Third Floor Conference Rooms at Wayne HealthCare. The program fee is $10. Preregistration is required by calling 547-5750.

Local ﬁfth graders urged to live healthy lifestyles BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Since the early 1990s, Darke County’s ﬁfth-graders have been getting health lessons from Wayne HealthCare and numerous other supporting agencies in the area. This year’s Fifth Grade Health Fair was held May 11 at the Darke County Fairgrounds. The co-chairs for this

year’s event were Peggy Rehmert and Jordan Francis. Rehmert has been part of the health fair since 1996 and co-chair for five. This is Francis’ first time to participate in the health fair. Both individuals were excited about the opportunity to teach and instill a lesson to live a healthy lifestyle. Francis and Rehmert agreed the fifth-graders are the perfect age to reach. “They are right on

the cusp. They are still excited by the event and are old enough to remember the lessons,” said Francis. While most of the stations at the health fair were manned by persons who have been in their career ﬁelds for many years, there was one station being taught by students not much older than the ones hearing the lesson. Arcanum High School students Makennah Hutcheson, Elizabeth Moore, Stevie Johnting, Annie Ketring and Abby Ross are part of the school’s Health Care Club. The club is part of

New Madison FD hosts county live burn ﬁre training BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – The New Madison Fire Department hosted a county-wide fire training on Saturday, April 30. Numerous departments from around Darke County were part of the fire training exercise, which took place at an old, abandoned house on HollansburgArcanum Road. According to New Madison Fire Chief Robert “Scoob” Cook, this type of live burn training is hard to come by since they need an old house to use…which is not always available.

Rossburg FD helps DCSO with air packs donation CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

ROSSBURG – With a FEMA grant to help with station upgrades, the Rossburg Fire Department elected to pass along some old equipment to aid the Darke County Sheriff’s Office. Donated on Tuesday was four air packs and eight tanks that the DCSO will be able to utilize as part of their drug clandestine unit. The three assigned members of the the meth lab team will be able to use the donated air packs to ensure they are not at risk to breathe in hazardous chemicals during a meth lab search and investigation. “These packs will definitely help the Sheriff’s Office for what they are needing them for,” explained Rossburg Fire Chief Doug Cothran. “Our new packs provide our firefighters with

more safety features so being able to hand over our old equipment where they can be used is a win-win for everyone.” With the rise in methamphetamine cooking labs, the Darke County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce formed the special unit which can respond quickly and have the resources available to successfully dismantle the lab properly. The Scott brand air packs and bottles will be stored in the unit’s mobile trailer with other necessary items to keep the team as safe as possible during an active meth lab raid. They will provide the wearer with approximately 20-25 minutes of fresh air and alert system feature in case of an emergency situation. “This is a great donation from the Rossburg Fire Department,” said Deputy Doug Didier. “Not only will it provide our team with safety, but doesn’t cost the county a dime!”

GREENVILLE – Second National Bank (SNB) recently donated $80,000 to the Friends of Harmon Field (FHF) fundraising campaign. The FHF is a group of supportive citizens wishing to help make major improvements to the existing Greenville High School football stadium and track, which is in dire need of an upgrade. “Second National Bank is pleased to be able to once again help Greenville Schools and the community through our donation to the Friends of Harmon Field,” stated SNB President John Swallow. “This is a great project that our community is getting behind and we are happy to be a supporter.” The overall project will cost approximately $5 million, which will be separated into several construction phases. A list of project

phase details and more can be found at www.friendsofharmonﬁeld.com. “The goal right now is to get to the $1 million mark so the track move project can get underway sometime this fall and hopefully be ready for spring of 2017,” explained FHF committee member Dustin Leis. According to Darren Leis, who handles publicity marketing for FHF, the group has to-date received over $370,000 towards the project.

Sister is Wave baseball’s biggest fan SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Greenville High School baseball team has quite a few fans, but none as dedicated as 19-year-old Alicia Ross. Alicia, a 2015 GHS graduate has only missed two games this season. The main reason she makes it a point to attend Green Wave baseball is to cheer on the team’s left-handed power-hitting third baseman – who also happens to be her younger brother, Tanner, 17. The love of baseball began for Alicia when she was about 5 years old. That’s when Tanner, at age 3, began playing with the Little Sluggers. “I just love watching him play,” says Alicia, who is conﬁned to a wheelchair. Alicia is the daughter of Chris and Tammy Ross of

Greenville. Born prematurely and with spina bifida, Alicia was walking until she fell and broke her leg when she was in fifth grade. Left bedridden for several months, says Tammy, who works as a nurse’s aide at the Brethren Retirement Center, Alicia completed her fifth grade school year with homeschooling. But Alicia hasn’t let her infirmities keep her from watching Tanner on the diamond. Attending his games – both at home and away, allows Alicia to work on her favorite hobby photography. “Her phone is filled with photos of Tanner,” Tammy said. Alicia said she would like to study photography in the future. “He is an excellent brother to her,” Tammy said of her son. “He’s got a good heart.” Besides watching Tanner and the Wave play baseball, Alicia also enjoys

Arcanum will hold spring cleaning ARCANUM – The Village of Arcanum will offer residents an opportunity to dispose of large household items, which will be picked up by Rumpke, Inc. on May 25 (the regular trash collection day). Residents should place these items at the curbside for pickup, along with their normal residential waste. There is a limit of ﬁve large items per residential customer. The following items will not be accepted for removal – tires, lead acid batteries, concrete, large screen TVs, liquids and/ or hazardous waste, ap-

pliances containing CFCs (Freon) and oil tanks. Loose materials, such as carpeting, fencing, fence posts, etc., must be bundled and tied. Each bundle should not exceed four-feet in length and two-feet in diameter or 75-pounds. Propane tanks must be empty and valves removed for collection. TVs must be manageable by one person. Rumpke encourages residents to set out items for collection on Tuesday evening. For more information, call the Village ofﬁce at 692-8500.

shooting photos of scenery and her pets. Her other hobbies include spending time coloring in the new intricate coloring books and caring for the family’s dogs, a German Shepherd/Black Lab mix and a Border Collie/Lab mix. The Ross family also has a cat, Creamy, but it mostly belongs to Alicia’s younger sister, Paige, 16. “I’m not really a cat person,” Alicia says. A junior in the GHS Career Technology Center’s engineering program,

Tanner says he “loves it when she (Alicia) comes to my games. I love it that she supports me. She’s missed a total of maybe ﬁve games ever since I started playing.” Tanner says he is planning on staying close to home following high school graduation next year and hopes to pursue a degree and a career in engineering. “I hope to go to either Edison or Sinclair so I can stay at home and also hold down a full or part time job,” he said.

YFC announces annual Golf Classic

GREENVILLE – On June 22, Youth for Christ of the Miami Valley will hold its 26th annual Golf Classic at the White Springs Golf Club. YFC’s annual golf classic is always a popular day with local golfers and an important part of furthering the ministry of Youth for Christ. One of the reasons YFC’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 “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” to more greatly benefit 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 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 $18,500 to benefit YFC’s ministry to young people. In addition to what was raised by the golfers, a significant portion 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. This year, the goal is to raise $20,000 to beneﬁt teenagers, which means new sponsors and golfers are being sought. Youth for Christ of the Miami Valley staff members and volunteers have worked with more than 1,000 teenagers this school year 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, multiday retreats, service projects and special events. Campus Life ministry combines healthy relationships with creative

Available hub attachments include everything from a spiralizer, pasta maker and food grinder to a food processor and juicer. “With the use of attachments, there’s very little this machine can’t do in the kitchen,” said Ernst. “Those new to cooking and baking, and those highly accomplished in the kitchen, will find so many ways to explore new culinary territory.” The Artisan® Mini stand mixer will be offered in Contour Silver, Empire Red, Guava Glaze, Honeydew, Hot Sauce, Matte Black, Matte Grey, Matte White, Orange Sorbet and Twilight Blue.

programs to help young people make good choices, establish a solid foundation for life, and positively impact their schools. Like every ministry of YFC, Campus Life seeks to engage these young people wherever they are found as lifelong followers of Jesus Christ. Campus Life Core mobilizes teams of

students with adult coaches who together, follow Jesus in a way that naturally invites friends to discover Jesus with them. Teams of students meet weekly with adult coaches to “share, pray and discover” how God is challenging them to take risks and invite their lost friends to discover Jesus with them.

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 5482477 or e-mail YFC at ofﬁce@yfcmiamivalley.org or visit yfcmv.org/events.

General Information The Sheriff is issued Orders of Sales from the Clerk of Courts Office. Sales are advertised in The Early Bird once every week for three consecutive weeks. The Sheriff’s Office does not mail or give away a list of properties or information about purchasing foreclosed

property. The properties are not available for tour or inspection as the Sheriff’s Office does not have keys to any properties. Prior to the sale, most properties are appraised from the outside only. The property is sold “as is”, caveat emptor (let the buyer beware). The Sheriff’s office does not have information on

liens or taxes. Real estate tax information can be found at the following web site: darkepropertymax.governmax.com real estate appraisal database. All sales are held in the meeting room of the County Commissioners Building, 520 South Broadway, Greenville.

All sales begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. Bidding information Bidding starts at two-thirds of the appraised value. Successful bidders must deposit 15% of the purchase price at the time of the sale. Personal check (proper ID, local check signed in our presence), ca-

shier’s check or cash is accepted. The buyer will be required to sign a disclaimer that relieves the Sheriff and appraising agents of liabilities of hazards, or past due bills, as it it the responsibility of the buyer to look into these matters before the sale date. The unpaid balance of the purchase price must be paid at

the confirmation of the sale, which is approximately 30 days after the date of sale.More Information You may contact Abby Wilson at (937) 547-4603 if you require further information. A listing of properties can be viewed at darkecountysheriff.org.

GREENVILLE – We always knew it was spring when the birds started their sweet songs outside our windows just as the sun came up. In school we studied the birds, colored pictures and created Bird Books to keep track of all the birds we would see over our summer recess. Today we are so busy with testing there isn’t time for these activities for our youth, yet many of us still remember our special bird collections. Sadly, many of the beauties we included are not found in eastern Darke County any longer. The bird population has changed as well as their environment. On May 23, 1 p.m., the “Last Monday” (a week early because of Memorial Day) at the Versailles Area Museum will feature local bird enthusiast, Bob Luttmer who will help explain why so many of our favorites are gone and what we might do to help bring them back! Bring your questions and your friends and join them for an afternoon of indoor bird watching. On May 30, join them as the Military Room will be set for quiet reﬂection on this day of remembrance. They will be open from noon till 4 p.m. and invite you to add a little history to your summer weekend kick off with them.

Spring Tip of the Week...

Engine Belt Drives Need Regular Inspection

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Each year the Darke County Park District spends literally thousands of dollars battling vandalism in the form of grafďŹ ti. Recently, several parks in Darke County have been vandalized by what seems to be one particular individual. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This grafďŹ ti has caused well over $1,000 in damages to park signs, kiosks, map boxes, and benches. It will take well over a week of time from maintenance staff and materials to clean the grafďŹ ti from these surfaces,â&#x20AC;? Director of Darke County Parks Roger Van Frank stated. Van Frank continued that â&#x20AC;&#x153;a modest reward leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible is being offered.â&#x20AC;? Pictured is the sign at Chestnut Street Marsh, also known as the walk-in entrance to Shawnee Prairie Preserve, which was re-

cently repainted and a new interpretive sign made. The cost of this sign alone is almost $1,000, and the funding for most of the Park Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interpretive signage is awarded through local grants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a real shame to see this type of destructive activity when so many work to keep the parks open and inviting to visitors,â&#x20AC;? Van Frank lamented.

GPL Film Series features Sparrows GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In May, Greenville Public Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Third Floor Film Series will be screening Sparrows. This 1926 ďŹ lm starring Mary Pickford is a fantastic comedic adventure ďŹ lm about a group of orphans living on a dilapidated farm in the swamps of Florida. They are neglected and abused by the couple who owns the farm, who use them for cheap labor, and eventually Pickfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character leads them on a daring escape through the alligator-infested swamps to safety. The ďŹ lm showcases Pickfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s underrated skills as a comedienne, as well as providing a suspenseful action climax

and a heartwarming ending. There has never been another Hollywood star to reach the height of popular glory Mary Pickford attained. She was adored and scrutinized at a level even our modern internet culture cannot rival. At one point she was considered the most recognizable woman in the world, beating out Queen Mary of England. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never see another star like her, and you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t regret taking the chance to see one of her ďŹ lms on a large screen. Join them as they screen this silent classic on May 19, 7 p.m.

He also requests that if anyone has information on this vandalism to contact the park ofďŹ ce at 5480165. A police report has been made with the local authorities.

Summer reading kicks off at Memorial Hall BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Memorial Hall was the place to be Thursday, May 12, for Greenville’s youngest readers. Hosted by Greenville City Schools, the district’s Family Reading Night offered students who will be in grades 1-3 this coming fall the opportunity to hear a real poet, enjoy hot dogs, win prizes and pick up their first three books for the summer reading program, Kids Read Now. First-grader Ethan Wintow and his mom Bernice were among the first of the nearly 750 students signed up for the program to arrive at the Family Reading Night. Ethan, 7, said his favorite books so far in his reading career were “animal” books. He also answered “yes” when asked if he enjoyed reading. Ethan’s first-grade teacher, Alex Ruble was on hand to assist in passing out the bags of books to her students. “I think it’s going to be a great opportunity for my students,” she said of the Kids Read Now program. Participation in the program will hopefully help “prevent what we call the summer slide,” Ruble explained. “It will keep them reading over the summer and it’s totally free for our students and their families.” The district used grant monies provided by the Kids Read Now program, as well as Title 1 federal grant monies to pay for the reading program, said Green-

ville Assistant Superintendent Laura Bemus. This is the ﬁrst year Greenville City Schools has participated in Kids Read Now, which was started by Troy businessman Leib Lurie. Kids Read Now is a research-based program that combines technology, parent engagement, student choice and school partnerships to help kids succeed as readers. The program partners with school districts to give students in kindergarten through 3rd grade new books of their choice to help motivate them to keep reading during summer months. Each book includes an activity sheet and weekly communication using One Call Now. Every week, students will read one book to earn their next book, which will arrive in the mail. Students also receive pre- and postprogram testing. Data is analyzed by Kids Read Now to determine each student’s progress. The books and services of Kids Read Now are paid for by grant funding.

Thursday’s Family Reading Night was supported by many area businesses and organizations. Along with picking up their ﬁrst three summer reading selections, the young students and their families were treated to a presentation by author and poet Charlie Hoce. Dads who belong to Woodland Primary’s Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) also were on hand to grill hot dogs. Door prizes were provided by Cincinnati Reds tickets, Darke County YMCA, Columbus Crew tickets, Jumpy’s, Scene 75, a book by Charlie Hoce, Cincinnati Zoo, and Maid Rite. Other event supporters included Woodland’s PTA, Woodland’s Watch D.O.G.S. (dads who volunteer at the school) and local businesses including Dairy Barn, Rural King, Wendy’s, Taco Bell, Walmart, Dairy King, Pizza Hut, Hallmark, Darke County YMCA, Greenville City Park, and Eikenberry’s IGA.
