$2.7 million Harmon Council gives nod to take down band shell RYAN Field project to begin BERRY SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Board of Education on Thursday, May 18, approved a resolution to enter into a design/build contract with Greater Dayton Construction Ltd d.b.a. Oberer Thompson Company in Beavercreek for the first phases of the renovation of Harmon Field. By this fall, the track and turf portion of the $2,766,958.43 project will be complete. The board met in two work sessions Thursday to hammer out the details, including deciding what type of synthetic turf would be best for the district’s athletes. The district has been considering a track/field renovation for more than two years. The group Friends of Harmon Field was organized and has raised both community awareness and funding for the project. Board member Dave Ernst, who also is part of the Friends of Harmon Field, said he wanted to thank those who had been supportive of the project. “Rest assured,” Ernst said. “This is a state-ofthe-art, top-notch project. It’s one, safe; two, good for the kids and the community; and three, will be something (to be) proud (of).” High school football coach Aaron Shaffer was in attendance for both the 6 p.m. work session and 7 p.m. regular board meetings on Thursday. Shaffer told the board during the work session that the “safety of our kids” is his number one concern as far

as the selection of the synthetic turf and shock pad. Shaffer also read a statement to the board during the public comments portion of the regular session, asking the board to pass the resolution for the renovation. “The benefit of replacing the field is limitless,” he said, reminding them how some sports events had to be canceled last fall due to the poor conditions of the field. Along with the new track and turf, the first phase of renovation will see the construction of a new block press box, as opposed to a pre-fab originally being considered. The block press box will be sturdier, offer some storage area and will cost the district less in the long run. The next phases of the project will include a new field house, concession stands, ticket booth, and rest rooms, Ernst said, with a new stadium being considered in the future, also. For now, the board has approved some work to be completed on the stadium bleacher seating. “We still need to do what we need to do to make sure that the structure stays sound,” said board member Brad Gettinger about the money being spent on the current bleacher seating. A ground-breaking for the Harmon Field project will be held at 1:45 p.m. Sunday, May 21. The public is invited to attend. “It will be a big release for all of us to get this going and see what happens from here on out,” said Jim Sommer, board president.

GREENVILLE – The Marling Band Shell in the Greenville City Park will be temporarily missing. With a nod of the head, Greenville City Council, on May 16, gave Safety Service Director Curt Garrison the go-ahead to begin demolition of the structure to make way for a new band shell. While much of the design has been decided, council is still debating whether or not the new shell will include restrooms. If they decide to forgo the restrooms the park board will have raised enough money to complete the project. If restrooms are included, the city would need to fund an additional $72,891.84. The total cost of the project, with restrooms, is $349,000. The park board raised $333,098.16 through gifts from the Lucille Clark Funds, individual donations and an ODNR grant. Dale Musser, park board president, noted the park board is in favor of including the restrooms in the project and work has already begun to solicit additional donations, but the city may need to foot part of the bill. Councilman Tracy Tryon suggested sending the issue to the Finance Committee to see if funds are available to complete the band shell with restrooms. Council President John Burkett agreed and asked for an answer by the June 6 council meeting. Because demolition will need to take place whether or not council chooses the

Greenville High School to hold annual Choir-ORama this weekend GREENVILLE – This Saturday and Sunday, Greenville High School Vocal Music Department witll host its annual ChoirO-Rama at the St. Clair Memorial Hall. This year’s theme is “Better When I’m Dancing!”. This GHS Tradition will be held on Saturday at 7 p.m. and

do the installation. Garrison also informed council DCVB wants to sell advertising on their side of the kiosk. However, that proposal would be in violation of the city’s sign ordinance that prohibits billboard advertising in the city’s right-of-way. President Burkett said, “Keep in mind that their intentions that they presented to council the other night is far different than what was presented to everyone else and that now becomes a billboard, basically.” Garrison interrupted to clarify, “A portion of it does.” Garrison asked council if it is their desire to have the city street department install the sign, “Where does that money come from?” That question was not answered. Garrison said, “The Visitors’ Bureau side, they’re choosing to turn this into advertisement and not so much about information.” Burkett added, “And a source of revenue for

them.” After reaching out to Heritage Ohio to learn how other communities handled the informational kiosks, the city learned most of these signs are owned by the city and none have commercial advertising. Council expressed their desire to follow the current sign ordinance and not allow commercial advertising on the kiosk. Garrison also updated council on the county’s proposal to take over the 911 system and dispatch. While there have not been any additional talks with the county since the last council meeting, Garrison informed council members the city would save approximately $300,000 a year by allowing the county to provide the service. The county suggested the city would save approximately $500,000, but Garrison pointed out they would try to move their senior dispatchers to other positions in the city and most likely at a lower wage.

restroom option, Garrison asked council for permission to allow Justin Hines of JA Construction to perform the task immediately. Construction on the new band shell should be completed by Oct. 31. According to Garrison, the goal is to have a majority of the band shell constructed to perform the Labor Day show in the new band shell. Musser said, “I want to thank you and our community for finishing out this project this year.” The city is blaming a miscommunication from the Darke County Visitors Bureau (DCVB) for holding up an agreement to install an informational kiosk in the city’s right-of-way. Garrison cited two issues that were not brought to light at a previous council meeting. The city was under the impression that DCVB would install the kiosks, but learned at the meeting the organization wants the city’s street department to

GREENVILLE – Greenville City Park shelters and playground equipment are getting a new coat of paint, thanks to SherwinWilliams. In honor of National Painting Week, scheduled for May 19-29, Greenville Sherwin-Williams store manager Heather Ellis, and employee Tanna Cornett spent this past Tuesday and Wednesday taking advantage of the warm weather to put a coat of paint on three park shelters. “This is our fifth year participating in National Painting Week completing different projects all over the county,” Ellis said. Other Greenville-area painting projects have included painting the train trestle and walkways, the Humane Society and Boys and Girls Club, as well

as the House of Hope in Ithaca. Ellis said the city park was chosen this year after she noticed it was in need of some sprucing up when she would bring her nephew to play. “I just noticed some things needed to be done,” she said. “The kids need a clean, safe and secure place to be.” Ellis and Cornett said they would be donating additional paint for park employees to paint some of the playground equipment. In all, approximately 20 gallons of Sherwin-Williams paint and supplies will be donated for the park spruce up. The two also said they are happy to give back to the community, which in turn supports their business. Cornett said a group of elementary students at the park on Tuesday asked what they were doing and

why. “If they see someone out here volunteering, they may remember and give back some day,” she said. According to a press release from Sherwin-Williams, National Painting Week offers color inspiration, painting ideas, expert tips, product information and one-of-a-kind proj-

ects – whether it’s for a DIY project or enlisting the help of a professional. Thousands of SherwinWilliams volunteers across the United States and Canada will be donating their time and products to upgrade non-profits, churches, schools and other community organizations during the week.

Greenville woman faces charges for another false shooting report BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

ROSSBURG – A Greenville woman was arrested after making false reports of an alleged shooting in Rossburg Sunday afternoon. At at 5:07 p.m. Darke County Dispatch received a 911 call of people shot at a residence on West Main Street in the Village of Rossburg. Darke County Sheriffs Deputies responded to the scene while Ansonia Rescue staged in the area. When Deputies arrived on scene contact was made with Faith Fellers (49) of Greenville. During the course of the investigation it was determined that no one had been shot. Deputies arrested Fellers and transported her to the Darke County Jail where she is held on a misdemeanor charge of Inducing Panic. Fellers is also facing an Inducing Panic charge for a false report in the City of Greenville. On April 27, in

the 200 block of Ash Street, Fellers reported her son had been shot. The investigation revealed a shooting did not take place. According to the Greenville Police Department’s statement of facts, “A drug screen indicated that the defendant had methamphetamine in her system.” When advised she was going to be charged in the Greenville case with inducing panic for calling in a false report “she just laughed” wrote the police officer. That case is pending. Pretrial in Darke County Municipal Court is set for May 22. The incident remains under investigation at this time.

Bowles receives 4 years for role in January burglary BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The second of four co-defendants involved in a January burglary in Darke County was sentenced today in court. Michael Bowles, 31, appeared in the Darke County Common Pleas Court Tuesday morning, one day after co-defendant Terry Goodpaster sat in the same seat. Bowles previous was convicted on one count each of Burglary and Grand Theft of Firearms, felonies of the third degree. Like Goodpaster, who received a four-and-ahalf-year sentence on Monday, Bowles expected a similar outcome going into this morning’s sentencing hearing. As part of a plea agreement with the state, both parties agreed to a mutually recommended four-year prison term, with the possibility of judicial release. “Mr. Bowles has been cooperative in this case… helping to locate some of the stolen property for the victims,” said Darke County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Deborah S. Quigley. “The elephant in the room at this point would be the substance abuse,” stated Bowles’ defense attorney Paul Wagner. “It is not a question that drugs were involved. He (Bowles) is asking the

Michael Bowles

court to release him to a treatment facility if he does get out on judicial release early so that he can have a better chance to be successful and not have this type of behavior again.” Once again the victim family was present in the courtroom. They spoke directly to Bowles and thanked him for helping bring some justice in the case, but also that he use this opportunity to make better choices in the future. Judge Jonathan P. Hein handed down the recommended four year sentence – two years on each count to run consecutive. Bowles will also be responsible, along with his three co-defendants, to repay over $28,500 to the victims in this case. The remaining two co-defendants in the case, Tesla Fox and Pete Cheadle, have yet to be sentenced for their role in the crime. Fox has pleaded guilty and is awaiting her sentencing, while Cheadle’s case is still pending.

Goodpaster sent back to prison for local burglaries BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – “I’ve been incarcerated for 16 years of my life,” said 32year old Terry Goodpaster prior to being sentenced for burglaries Monday afternoon in the Darke County Common Pleas Court. Goodpaster, and three co-defendants, were charged in connection with January burglaries and theft of firearms. According to Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Debroah S. Quigley, Goodpaster was the “ringleader” of the group in burglarizing from a family in which tried to help him after being released from prison last time. He has an extensive criminal history with Darke County courts, stemming as far back as 2003, most of which involve drugs, theft and violence. Tears were visible on Goodpaster’s face as the victim read aloud a prewritten statement, as well as, the last letter that Goodpaster written to him prior to being released

from prison. As part of a plea agreement with the state, Goodpaster pleaded guilty to two counts of Burglary and one count of Grand Theft of Firearms…all of which are felonies of the third degree. After listening to both sides argue an appropriate sentence, Judge Jonathan P. Hein handed down the four and a half year prison term. Once Goodpaster serves the time, he will then be place on a community control sanction for up to 60 months. Judge Hein added that if Goodpaster fails to comply with probation, he can receive and additional four years behind bars. He could face additional time since he was on post release control with the Adult Parole Authority at the time of these offenses. One of Goodpaster’s co-defendants, Michael Bowles, will be in court Tuesday to a prison term of four years. The remaining two co-defendants in he case, Tesla Fox and Pete Cheadle, cases are still open at this time.

The award winning recipe for Mom’s Easter Salmon was incomplete when it was published in the May 2017 KitchenAid Experience Cookbook. The following is the correct recipe. Mom’s Easter Salmon 2 lbs. salmon (remove the gray scale) 1/3 c orange juice (not from concentrate) 1/3 c maple syrup 3 tbsp. Soy Sauce 2 tsp. minced garlic (I use the garlic in a jar) Mix above ingredients and pour over salmon in a Ziploc bag. Marinate overnight.

Sixth-grade math gets a little racey BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybird.com GREENVILLE – Greenville sixth-graders are having a little end-ofthe-school-year fun, drag racing in the middle school hallways. Using Hess brand dragsters with pull-back motors, students created race tracks in the hallway between the fifth- and sixthgrade wings. The object was to let their cars take off to see how fast they’d travel the 15-foot strip. The purpose of the activity, said 12-year-old Rowdy Hines, was to “find the average speed by timing how fast they went from start to finish.” The average speed turned out to be 3.72 seconds, said Aubrey Deal, 11. “I like racing,” admitted Trey Kiser, 12. “We set up a proportion for how long the track is and what the top speed would be.” Thanks to the Hess toy company, the school received 10 toy car haulers (trucks) with dragsters to be used for experiments pertaining to math and science, said math teacher Zachary Roll. “This is the first time we’ve used anything like this to calculate speed and look at ratios,” Roll said. Math standards for sixth-graders include curriculum working with ratios, Roll explained, as well as comparing and measuring – for example price per pound, unit costs, miles per hour. “We’ve never had anything to actually model” the concept of distance, Roll said, noting using the

toys helps to get “more students engaged and sparks their curiosity.” When the students first started the dragster project, they attempted to race several cars against each other. “We raced the cars in three different tracks to see how fast they could go,” Alexis Arnett, 12, explained. When the students discovered that wasn’t going to work in an efficient manner - due to the cars not staying in their lanes of travel - they changed their experiment to send one car at a time down the

hallway. “I thought it was a pretty easy way to learn,” said Jacob Schmitmeyer, 12. “But I really like toys.” Students were divided into teams to run their experiments. Besides measuring speed, students also found the scale of the hauler compared to a real 24-foot truck. “We measured the length and width of the toy truck and used different equations to how big it would really be in real life,” said Patricia Sanchez, 12. “Every inch on the model would be about 24 inches on the real size truck.” LIKE US ON FACEBOOK

ON YOUR MIND

READERS WRITE Be kind, but don’t fall for trap

As this time of year rolls around, we begin seeing more and more of The Church of God - the women with long dresses, most explain them as the ones with ‘’black clothes’’ and the men with the beards. They gather frequently throughout the year having church meetings, at different locations, as they are internationally built. May/June is their annual international camp meeting which is held in West Milton, OH. I am 25 and grew up going to all of these meetings. They gather from various places including - Germany, Oklahoma, Philippines, Wisconsin and so on. As I often am questioned, here is just a little information about these folks and their beliefs. They are anti-denominational, teaching the Bible - from their point of view. They do not encourage going to college and do not support our troops. They do have their own small private schools at each of their locations (and no, they do not have a room full of guns). I am not here to defend them or to talk against them, but only of my experience, having been born in and grown up in this place, and leaving as an adult. I left almost 6 years ago, have kept the good and

still working on letting go of the bad. What you see is not what you actually get, not once you’re apart of them. They can be kind, while some are very honest and sincere, they blindly follow the leader(s). Did I mention they can sing? Yes, they sing A cappella, it does catch one’s attention. It pains me to see so much of these individuals potential talent be wasted. They’re mostly taught that they are ‘’higher’’ then everyone else as they are “saved,” meaning they live completely sin-free, on a daily basis. Those not in the church are considered sinners and going to Hell, but if there are any ‘unsaved’ and sincere, they will come to their church before “time is over.” I do not tell you this out of anger, though it is hard for me to think about at times (it is an emotional/ mental control that is harder to pinpoint or heal from, then that of the physical). They will be coming to downtown Greenville one day during their week of meeting as they yearly do, please show them kindness – while not falling for the trap. One of them could be my sister, aunt or even one of my best childhood friends. Bethany Wittenborn Greenville

is proposing will return the CAUV calculations to more reasonable values and allow conservation acres to be taxed at lower rates since these acres do not produce any crops.” Finnarn went on to say that “the interest capitalization rate used in the formula will be modified to lessen the influence of nonfarm factors by increasing the holding period from 5 to 25 years. These changes resulting in lower CAUV values will be phased in over two re-evaluation cycles (6 years), so that they do not cause any dramatic impacts to local governments and schools.”

Board approves rules for opiate prescriptions COLUMBUS – The State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy announced the approval of rules to help implement proposed limits on opiate prescriptions for acute pain. Announced by Governor Kasich and leaders of Ohio’s healthcare regulatory boards last Thursday, the rules will support efforts by the Medical, Nursing and Dental Boards to place commonsense limits on the use of opiates for the treatment of acute pain. “The Board is proud to play its role in helping to reduce opiate prescribing in Ohio” said Steven Schierholt, Executive Director of the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy. “It is estimated that the state could see an annual reduction of 109 million opiate doses once the new limits are in

effect.” The rules adopted by the Board will require prescribers to include a diagnosis or procedure code on every controlled substance prescription. This information will then be entered into Ohio’s prescription monitoring program, known as the Ohio Automated Rx Reporting System (OARRS), by dispensing pharmacies to monitor compliance with the limits. The rules will follow the Board’s standard rule adoption process, including input from stakeholders and the public. For more information on the acute pain prescribing limits and the Board of Pharmacy’s proposed rules, please visit: www.pharmacy.ohio.gov/acute.

Not taking orders from central planner BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Congressman Warren Davidson doesn’t see the factions within the Republican Party and their disagreements as a negative. The eighth district representative believes the disagreements have resulted in talks that have produced better legislation. He sat down with The Early Bird on May 15 to discuss health care, the Republican Party, tax reform and more. He argued that we’ve created a binary culture, “It’s either this way or that way. It’s Republican or Democrat. It’s good or bad.” He believes it is more complex than that, “I think, what I’ve picked up on is that our party actually represent their districts. What we saw in the health care bill was status quo politics. This is the play, everybody do what you’re told and the Republicans were kinda being Republicans. We didn’t come here to take orders from a central planner. We came here to represent our districts. By-and-large it has been well received in our districts.” He explained that what it means to be a Republican in New Jersey is a little different than what it means to be a Republican in Ohio, Texas or Mississippi. As for passage of the American Health Care Act in the House, Davidson gave kudos to Speaker of the House Paul Ryan for keeping the bill alive and Vice President Mike Pence for bringing the party together. “The vice president, in particular, was helpful in this process,” said Davidson. “Vice President Pence met with a group of us in the basement of the Capitol and recalled his time as a governor saying, ‘If I were a governor, I would rather there not be a federal standard. Most of my fellow governors feel the same way. If there is a federal standard, I’d

like to be able to wave it and customize it to my state.’” Through his talks with the legislators, the MacArthur Amendment was added to reinstate essential health benefits as a federal standard, but allowing states to seek a waiver for the purpose of reducing premium costs, increasing the number of persons with healthcare coverage, or advancing another benefit to the public interest in the state, including the guarantee of coverage for persons with pre-existing medical conditions. Davidson is optimistic about health care getting through the Senate, but warned, “What we’ve got to do in the House is be the House and let the Senate be the Senate. There’s been a long path that’s frustrated a lot of people. The House tries to pre-negotiate a deal with the Senate that effectively waters down the House bill. Then the House bill comes back

even more watered down after the Senate dumps more water on it. We need to be the House and push through good bills and let the Senate do their work. Let the conference take place that reconciles the bills. That’s the way the process is supposed to work. It’s not meant to be as smooth as governing by cell phone and pen. It’s got checks and balances that a cell phone and pen do not.” The Congressman is looking forward to the remainder of the year and believes tax reform will take place. Many legislators want to lump corporate and personal tax reform together, which may be harder to accomplish before the summer break in August. “That’s where you lose a lot of Democrats,” he stated. “Democrats don’t really want the personal tax code reformed, unless it means they are taxing rich people more.”

However, both parties are in agreement on the corporate tax code. The sticking point may be the Border Adjustable Tax (BAT) that would create a new tax on imports. “Repatriating $2.5 to 3 trillion from off shore is something even Chuck Schumer is excited about,” he said. The challenge, he believes, for the BAT is that it’s a new idea and “change is always hard.” Davidson suggested a reduction in the payroll tax to run in conjunction with the BAT to help offset higher prices in the market place.

Greenville Coach Jerrod Newland said. “Passed the bat ‌ just a great day for Lady Wave softball. Proud and playing for the name on the front. It’s just awesome and moving on. It’s our 14th district ďŹ nal in our last 15 years – that’s 14 sectional championships in the last 15 years. It’s just awesome.â€?

A Courtney Bryson bunt single produced a run good for an 8-0 lead. A Gilbert sacriďŹ ce bunt and a two out Shaffer RBI triple, a Cromwell RBI single, a Hanes single and a Grote RBI single had the Lady Wave up 11-0 bringing Petry to the plate to drill a three run double giving the GHS a 14-0 lead after three.

Greenville’s Peter Pandy signs to play basketball for IU East BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville senior Peter Pandy signed to play basketball for the Indiana University East Red Wolves. Pandy, the son of Rani and Rocky Pandy is still pursuing study options at IU East but has plans to pursue a career in mechanical engineering. “I didn’t start thinking about playing college ball until this past year,” said Pandy. “Junior, sophomore, freshmen year I really didn’t think about playing, but last year – I want to play. I just didn’t want to stop playing.” “It is great to have someone who has worked so hard be rewarded for all that hard work and get to fulfill a dream of playing college basketball and go on to college to

get a degree,” said Greenville Coach Kyle Joseph. “Pete’s an extremely hard worker who I think still has a lot of good basketball ahead of him.” “He is a good add for us,” said IU East Coach Mark Hester. “He really adds some shooting. He showed some aggressiveness when he came and played with us.” “Anytime somebody comes in – a high school guy and they don’t show a lot of fear and they attack that’s a good sign for the future,” added Hester. “I think he can do a lot of things. He’s got a body that can put on a little more weight, he’s got long arms, he’s been well taught and I think he has a good future.” Coach Hester is pleased to have the GHS multisport athlete join the Red Wolves Nation men’s basketball program.

“We like guys that have played multiple sports,” noted Hester. “They bring a lot to the table and he exemplifies that. Like all freshmen, he’s going to be expected to guard, rebound and things like that. What we’re doing with our system will be his biggest challenge but he’s a smart kid, so I think he’ll figure that one out.” Pandy is penciled in to be a guard at the Indian school, a position Pandy is familiar with and comfortable playing. “He’s a very good athlete with a very good first step,” said GHS Coach Joseph, “can get the ball to the rim. That’s a strong suit for him.” “He has special athleticism and ability to attack,” said Hester. “He’ll be able to come in and challenge and have an opportunity to see what he can do right away.”

“It was more like a home feel, smaller, and it was close by to home,” Pandy said of his choice of IU East. “I really like the coaching staff and I

like playing with the players down there.” IU East competes in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, an NAIA Division II

team. Pandy’s goals at IU East – “Just be successful and make my parents proud, community proud,” said Pandy.

CLAYTON – The No. 4 seed Arcanum Lady Trojans dropped a 12-2 tournament game to No. 1 seed Northwestern Lady Warriors in the sectional championship game. Eight Lady Trojans played their final game for Arcanum: Lucy Shannon, Hannah Weaver, Cassidy Clark, Brittany Kinney, Kaitlyn Zell, Brenna Loxley, McKenzie Sharritts and Shai Robinson. “These seniors had a great career these seniors,” said Arcanum Coach Rick Stone. “Proud of every one of them.” Northwestern played long ball knocking three home runs over the outfield fence to move on in tournament play. Northwestern took a 1-0 first inning lead with a home run over the leftfield wall. Arcanum battled back in the top of the second tying the game at 1-1 with a Shai Robinson lead-off

a phenomenal season.” The Lady Trojans grabbed its first lead of the day taking advantage of a Kaitlyn Zell two-out single to right, a walk to Hannah Weaver and a Lady Warriors error on a Kaylee Wilcox infield pop-up allowing Zell to score the goahead run to lead 2-1. Northwestern plated two runs in the bottom of the third to lead 4-2 and added a single run in the fifth to lead 5-2. “I thought we stayed right there,” Stone said. “We had a couple opportunities to score down 5-2.” The girls from Springfield put the game away in the sixth including a threerun homer over the centerfield fence to win 12-2. “We were right there with them until the sixth inning and then everything just fell apart on us,” said Stone. “We got behind in the count a little bit and loaded the bases up and they got some good hits in there.” “In the sixth inning – when things go bad things go bad,” Stone said. “I told the girls, we’ve been on the other end of it too. Close ball games, one inning busts it open and they did it. They are a heck of a ball team. I hope the win the whole dag-gone thing.” “Proud of them, they played the hearts out,” Coach Stone said of the Lady Trojans. “Until the sixth inning we were right there with them. All the talk was about this pitcher coming in, and she is good, but we put the bat on the ball against her all night. The long ball hurt us.”

VERSAILLES – Versailles senior Austin Knapke, the son of Bernie and Nicole Knapke signed to play college baseball for the Indiana Institute of Technology Warriors while furthering his education with an emphasis on business. “I really love the campus,” Knapke said of his choice. “It was a nice home feeling. It’s pretty modern which I really liked and they have a solid baseball program. I fell in love with the coaching staff. Just a great baseball team to be on.” “That was a big part of my decision,” added Knapke. “Definitely more fun to be playing on a winning program with all their winning history. It’s just even more reason to go there.” Knapke, a four year letter winner gets high marks from Versailles baseball coach Ryan Schlater. “He’s had a little bit of tough breaks here and there with his back last year, he’s battled through some injuries,” said Schlater. “He’s

been a great player for us. Going to Indiana Tech is a good school for him – a great fit for him. I think he’s going to have a lot of success the next few years with them.” A National Association of Intercollegiate Athletic member competing in the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC), Indiana Tech is currently ranked 18th in the nation with a 44-14 record. The Warriors are riding a nine season winning record dating back to 2008. Knapke hopes to both pitch and play infield for the Fort Wayne school. “I’m going to try do both the first year and see where that leads me the year after that,” Knapke said. “He doesn’t get to high to low” coach Schlater noted of Knapke’s strengths. “He’s even keel the whole time. He’s just a solid overall player for us fielding wise. When it’s hit over to him we can pretty much count it’s going to be an out and hitting wise at the plate, big situations we want him up to bat.

Monday. Johnson, a magician and motivational speaker from New York, presented two assemblies at the elementary, which featured magic tricks to teach the difference between good and bad drugs, why you shouldn’t try drugs and that it takes just one time to get hooked, how drug pushers lie and how drugs will change how you perceive things. “There are people in this world who go around telling people drugs taste good. There’s a difference between good and bad drugs. A lot of these drugs are bad. It’s really easy to get hooked on bad drugs,â€? Johnson said, using four coat hangers to demonstrate getting hooked and how difďŹ cult it may be to unhook yourself from a life of drug use. “People think it’s OK to try them just one time. Try them just one time and you’re hooked. It’s hard to shake the habit,â€? he said, while trying to shake loose the four hangers from each other. “Your life could be one big mess. Drugs alter and change how you see things.â€? Johnson also touched on how some drugs purchased from a store or drug store may look and be safe for their appropriate use, but also can be “changed to make it so they can harm you.â€? Only take medicine from an adult you trust, such as a doctor, nurse and parent, Johnson told the students. Johnson also invited several students and a teacher to help him with his magic tricks, all the while encouraging students to yell and tell a trusted adult when they encounter someone with

Greenville School Resource OfďŹ cer Ryan Borowske, who introduced Johnson to the students, said he believed the magician “did an excellent job sharing the messageâ€? to stay away from drugs “while mixing in fun with it (the message).â€? According to Darke County Chamber of Commerce and Coalition President Sharon Dechambeau, the Darke County Mental Health approached the Coalition asking they “do something age-appropriateâ€? for elementary students concerning the recent increase in drug abuse. “We’re planting the seeds,â€? Dechambeau said Monday, noting the Coalition hopes to bring a drug awareness program to all Darke County schools on a yearly basis. The Coalition, she said, was in the process of preparing information to be sent to all school districts making them aware of the grant monies available for such assemblies. Greenville Elementary

Wind-fueled ďŹ re destroys multiple barns near Ansonia BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – Wind-fueled ďŹ re destroyed several barns on the 4100 block of White Coppess Road, north or Ansonia, Thursday afternoon. As ďŹ re crews were dispatched to the scene at approximately 3:15 p.m., ames and heavy smoke were visible for miles. A third alarm was quickly requested for mutual aid, as the large barn structures were engulfed. A partial fourth alarm was later needed for additional tankers to respond. Crews worked to defend the home and large propane tank that sat just north of the ďŹ re.

At least three barns were destroyed in the blaze and a fourth sustained heavy damage. Heavy winds contributed to the rapid spreading of the ames. Fourteen ďŹ re departments from both Darke and Mercer counties were called in to assist, along with three EMS units.

DARKE COUNTY – Family Health Services of Darke County will present Sam Casalano, CEO of the YMCA of Darke County, as its featured speaker for its public event May 22 at 6:30 p.m. in the Reid Building, 1101 Jackson St., Greenville. The event is free and open to the public, and will also include a wellness exercise demonstration. The YMCA of Darke County and Family Health have recently increased their collaborative efforts, as both share similar core values of the holistic nurturing of spirit, mind and body. The shared effort allows both organizations to better serve the community to improve health and wellness through physical activity and nutrition, combat addiction and chronic disease, and promote character values that ultimately support a stronger society. In addition to the extensive programming and health and wellness opportunities for members, the Y has dedicated itself to serving the broader community through collaborative efforts to provide such programs as Diabetes Education Classes and Water Safety Week, which are open to the public at no cost to participate. Casalano served the Sidney-Shelby County YMCA for nearly 23 years. His background and skill as an internationally acclaimed gymnast and coach allowed the Sidney YMCA to build a nationally ranked kinetics program, which consisted of gymnastics, tumbling, acrobatics and cheerleading. Casalano was the first recipient of the Carpe Diem Award, the single highest recognition given to an individual that most exemplifies the Y mission. Casalano also was the

most recent recipient of the Triangle of Honor award, which is the highest honor given to any volunteer or staff member at the SidneyShelby County YMCA. It recognizes individuals with a record of innovative, inspirational, highly successful leadership who made a significant impact on the Sidney Y. “What I’m most proud of is that the Y is for everyone, regardless of age, creed, background or financial ability,” Casalano said. “The Y reaches out to and nurtures the potential of all people.” “We focus our efforts on three areas,” Casalano said. “Nurturing the potential of every child and teen, improving the health and well-being of our community members, and giving

back and providing support to our neighbors. Join Sam Casalano, and the Behavioral Health and Wellness Center on Monday, May 22 to hear his free educational message about the Darke County YMCA and their mission to improve the health and wellbeing of Darke County. The program will be held at the Behavioral Health and Wellness

Center. Light refreshments will be provided and a free exercise demonstration. Please contact the Behavioral Health and Wellness Center at (937) 5472319 with questions and/ or if you are interested in attending.

DARKE COUNTY – The YMCA of Darke County recently kicked off its annual Community Partners fundraising campaign. “As a longtime member of the YMCA and this year’s campaign chairman, I’m excited to be part of such a great organization. The YMCA is an integral part of our community, and is truly changing lives,” said John Swallow, 2017 Campaign Chairman. The goal is to raise $200,000 by June 9. The campaign enables the Y to have the resources to provide scholarships for those with financial need so they can have access to a high-quality wellness facility and benefit from the Y experience. The YMCA impacts people’s lives every day. From health and fitness programs, to summer camp experiences, to afterschool programming, to literacy and character building programs, they touch kids, adults and families in nearly every neighborhood. Keeping one’s health in check, providing opportunities for kids to learn and interact with others in a safe and positive environment, and helping families access a place in their neighborhood where they can have quality time together is essential.

On June 17, the EUM Church Fellowship hall will be open at 4 p.m. This will allow you to visit with other attendees until dinner is served at 5:30 p.m. After the meal, there will be a brief floor discussion for anyone to offer comments or suggestions about the banquet. If you are in touch with an East Sider who like to attend, but did not get an invitation, have them contact Jerry Cox ((37) 968-4102 or Marilyn Nestor (937) 968-5669 for further details. To help increase attendance, they would like to suggest one or two people from each class reach out to their school mates and invite them to attend. The invitations are being mailed early to allow ample time to respond. If you would like to attend, be sure to mail your check and dinner choice to Marilyn (Miller) Nestor by May 27 so they can get an accurate head count. The cost will be $15 per person, which includes the cost of the meal and postage. Checks or money orders must be made payable to UC East Side Reunion. The EUM Church Fellowship Hall is located at 117 Franklin St., Union City, Ohio (one black from the former UCES School). Please enter the front glass doors, where there is also handicap access available. If needed, not it on your reservation. The meal will be catered by Bouser’s Barn.

Blown glass and paintings at Bear’s Mill

A $50 Sadie Grace gift certificate was given to Anna Mae James by owner Kirsten Berghoff.

DCRW holds meeting GREENVILLE – A style show by Kirsten and her Sadie Grace models was a part of the May program for the Darke County Republican Women’s Club. There were also geraniums given to six lucky ladies.

Also, as part of the program for the “Women in Business” project, the group heard from Dr. Kylie Young, owner of Beltone. The next regular business dinner/meeting will be June 12.

GREENVILLE – Historic Bear’s Mill will host an exhibit in the Clark Gallery from May 26 through June 25 featuring colorful hand blown glass by ex-Marine Doug Frates and impressionistic paintings of the natural world by environmentalist Chris Comte. An opening night reception from 6-8 p.m. will offer finger food and drinks as well as brief talks by the artists who will share information about their work, methods, and inspiration at 7 p.m. “Art at the Mill, ” curated by Jan Roestamadji and Julie Clark, is free and open to the public. According to Marti Goetz, executive director of Friends of Bear’s Mill, the featured artists’ work inspires joy and delight. “The tranquil setting of the Mill is dramatically enhanced by Doug’s strik-

ing vessels and Chris’s inviting paintings,” Ms. Goetz stated. “These artists produce simply stunning pieces that inspire interest, and almost demand to go home with appreciative viewers,” she concluded. After serving in Iraq in 2003, Doug Frates left the Marine Corps in search of a civilian career. A glassblowing class at Sonoran Glass Art Academy in Tucson, AZ set him on his path to becoming an internationally recognized glass artist. As a true artist, Doug is motivated by the ever-changing world as he designs and hand blows each piece utilizing only the highest quality materials to ensure true, vibrant colors. “In the hands of an artist like Doug, glass becomes a creative and expressive medium that goes beyond hues and textures to reach out and revital-

ize the human soul; we are excited to display his work in the Clark Gallery,” said Jan Roestamadji. Chris Comte’s broad range of experience contributes to her artwork; the former Navy nurse and computer science professor spends many hours experiencing the wonders of the outdoors. She says that her paintings reflect the exhilaration and renewal inspired by the beauty, diversity and ever-changing dramas to be found in nature. “I strive to paint the vibrance, the freshness, the calm, the excitement, the awe and the spiritual essence of the world I see,” explained the Cincinnati-area artist. “Whether painting elegant abstracts or earthy animal portraits, Chris’s simple but elegant palette and composition are impressive, delighting the eye and the spirit,” Ju-

lie Clark remarked. “Art at the Mill” continues at Bear’s Mill’s Clark Gallery through December, with a new exhibit opening on the Final Friday of each month. Historic Bear’s Mill is owned and operated by Friends of Bear’s Mill, a non-profit organization, and is located at 6450 Arcanum-Bear’s Mill Road about 5 miles east of Greenville. For more information, contact Bear’s Mill at 937-548-5112 or www. bearsmill.org.

Darke County 4-H Cloverbud Rocks Because we are bombarded daily by negative news stories, we find ourselves getting depressed and discouraged about the society in which we live. The Darke County 4-H program would like to spread inspiration and bring positivity back to the daily lives of Darke County residents. The Darke County 4-H Cloverbud Rocks! initiative is meant to inspire people to venture out and explore Darke County. Rocks are being painted and placed throughout the county. As you explore our local parks and walking paths, keep on the lookout for one of these painted rocks. Once you find one, we ask that you take a selfie with it and post your picture to the Darke County 4-H Cloverbud Rocks! Facebook page (https:// www.facebook.com/groups /278793642533944/). Tell us where you found the rock and then move it to another

area for someone else to find. Your photos and comments will inspire others. You, too, can join the movement. Want to paint a rock? Visit their website for instructions: http://go.osu. edu/DarkeCountyRocks. Paint your own rock with a personal meaning. It can be a work of art or something straight from the heart. On the back of your rock, put “Darke County 4-H Cloverbud Rocks!” so you can be connected to our network. Join the movement. Spread kindness and inspire others. Mahatma Gandhi once said, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” Together we can make a difference, one rock at a time. For information on how to paint your own inspirational rock, contact OSU Extension, Darke County at (937) 548-5215 or visit the website http://go.osu.edu/ DarkeCountyRocks.

Summer Fun at 4-H Camp Before you know it, school will be out and summer fun will be here. All youth, completing grades three through eight, are invited to join the fun at Darke County 4-H Camp. Camp will be held June 19-22, 2017, at Indian Hills 4-H Camp in Miami County. This year’s theme is “Saddle Up at 4-H Camp!” and a variety of educational and fun activities are being offered. Youth do not need to be 4-H members in order to attend camp. Registration materials and camp information may be obtained by contacting OSU Extension, Darke County at (937) 548-5215, or via the website at http://go.osu. edu/2017Darke4HCamp. Camping programs focus on developing knowledge and skills related to citizenship, outdoor education, creative arts, campfire, recreational activities, song leading and other special activities. Many important life skills are learned at camp that include responsibility, decision making,

getting along with others, cooperation, leadership and increased self-esteem. They are often the result of living with carefully selected and trained staff members who teach all the time by the way they relate to each other, solve problems and care for materials and equipment. Throughout an individual’s 4-H experience and later in life, people must work together as groups to achieve goals. Camp puts individuals together and helps them gain knowledge and skills so they may appreciate the diversity in people, communicate, set goals, and work as a group for success. Whether it’s playing games, planning a skit for the campfire, or completing a team-building activity, campers must work together, share talents and ideas, and support each other to be successful. For more information about the 4-H camping program, please contact OSU Extension, Darke County, at (937) 548-5215.

GHS principal will miss ‘the kids’ most of all SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – After 35 years as an educator and administrator, Greenville High School Principal Jeff Cassell will be retiring, effective July 31. What he’ll miss most about his job are “the kids,” he said. “I”ll really miss the kids.” Cassell, who has served as the high school principal for the past two years, began his career as a math teacher with Ansonia Schools from 1982-84. He then spent 15 years teaching math, coaching and as the athletic director for his Alma Mater – Franklin Monroe, leaving there in 1999 to work one year as the Bradford principal for grades 6-12. From 2000-02, Cassell was principal at VandaliaButler’s Morton building, which housed the districts 5-8th grade students, moving on to the district’s high school principal position from 2002-06 and then to the central office to work in the human resources and technical departments. A two-year stint as superintendent with Bethel Schools in Miami County came next, from 20102012. “I retired, set out for 90 days and then did a little tutoring with Newton Schools,” Cassell explained. When a teaching job opened up at the Pleasant Hill school district Cassell jumped at the chance to get back inside the classroom, teaching math for grades 7-12. “I wanted to make more of an impact, and the landscape of teaching had changed,” he said. “I made a decision to make a bigger impact and took the principal’s position at Greenville’s K, 1 and 2 building, at Woodland.” After serving one year at Woodland, the opportunity came for Cassell to move over to the high school, a position he’s held since 2015. “I feel like I’ve come full circle,” he said. “I’m a Darke County boy, starting and ending my career

in Darke County.” What’s the biggest change in education during Cassell’s 35 years? “The challenges facing families, to be honest. There’s a lot more issues involving our families,” he said, pointing out how communication between school and parents has become more difficult with both parents working or “broken homes. That’s really changed things.” Another change, he said, are the increasing number of grandparents who are raising grandchildren. “I’ve even seen a greatgrandparent raising a child. Rarely did you see grandparents, let alone great-grandparents,” take on this role 30 years ago. Cassell also pointed out how guidance counselors’ roles have changed during his tenure in education. Today’s guidance departments play more of a mental health role with students in order to prepare them for the learning process, he explained. Other changes include today’s emphasis placed on student testing and attendance. “We’re having to form an intervention team for attendance,” Cassell said, pointing out the state is expecting more and more from districts. “We’re doing more with less,” he said. Cassell said his immediate plans for retirement include “putting up a new barn,” which will include a golf simulator. His wife, Margret, also plans to retire from her job after 31 years with the Bureau of Worker’s Compensation. “We both love to golf, and will be spending more time with the family,” he said, especially daughters Lauren, who resides in Texas, and Kacie, a pharmacy student in Akron. Plus there’s always a chance Cassell will be back making an impact on Greenville City Schools. “Nothing has been offered,” he said, noting it may be “possible” to find himself working in the district at some capacity in the future.

PITSBURG – The Franklin Monroe-MVCTC BPA (Business Professionals of America) program has only been around for three years, but they were able to accomplish something this week that programs with many years under their belt only dream of doing. They brought home a national championship from Orlando, Fla. Last week, several FMMVCTC BPA students traveled to the Sunshine State to enjoy all that Orlando offers, but more importantly, compete against the best BPA teams from across the nation. Bringing home the win in the Small Business Management competition were Danielle McVey and Grace Fee. McVey explained they are given a scenario for a small business that has a bunch of problems they need to fix. “We come up with ideas to fix the problems,” she said. They are given the scenario about a month before the competi-

tion, but at the top levels they receive modifications about a half-hour before they need to present. According to Fee and McVey, the road to the national championship included earning first place at regionals and second place at the state competition. The top two teams were invited to go to nationals. Although the weather was great and the accommodations were outstanding, everything didn’t go as planned for McVey and Fee in Orlando. McVey got sick and was put on bed rest for an entire day. The next morning she was ready to compete. After the first round of competition, the FM juniors got a little down-time and were able to enjoy Disney’s Magic Kingdom. Fee explained they had just gotten off the Teacup ride when they got the news – they had made the finals. They were in the top 12. They were given the privilege of competing for a second time, “Which is cool,” said McVey, “I really enjoy competing.” Carrie Wiant, advisor,

noted she has been a business teacher and BPA advisor for 10 years and this was the first team she’s had that won first place at nationals. “When they came out of the finals competition I was just in Grace Fee and Danielle McVey display the plaque they awarded for earning first place in Small Business awe as I was were Management. listening to them talk about what they more knowledge.

today’s critical shortage of school counselors and psychologists. Garman praised the staff he works with at Ansonia for their dedication to students. “We have a very successful team concept here,” he said. “We’ve got a great superintendent and school board and the staff is incredible. We’re just like a family.” Garman and his wife, Robin, a retired Marion Local teacher, plan to enjoy more traveling, camping and family time, he said. “I’m looking forward to settling down and spending more time with family,” said Garman of the couple’s two children, Scott, a physical therapist, and Heidi who works at DSW headquarters and resides in Columbus. The couple also has three grandchildren who will be seeing more of their grandparents. A season-pass NASCAR fan, Garman admitted “we’ll be going to more races.” Garman said he was “happy he (Robson) was following me because he’s an excellent teacher.” Ansonia School Board approved Robson’s hiring in April and the two have already been meeting to work things out for next year, Garman said. A graduate from Indian Lake, Robson went to Heidelberg University. “I didn’t go to be a teacher,” he said, instead opting to major in business administration. “I worked in the real world as a salesman for three years,” Robson explained, before obtaining his teaching certificate from Urbana University, a master’s degree from Wright State University and a principal’s license from the University of Dayton. For the past 20 years, Robson has taught high

school math as well as working for six years as an athletic director. He’s also coached and served as the STEM coordinator. “In a small school district you wear a lot of hats,” Robson said. “I feel like I’ve had the right training and made the right move at the right time.” Although he said he’s a little “hesitant” about following in Garman’s footsteps, Robson said it should be “easy to step in there because I was mentored by him. I won’t have to go in and change a lot. He’s done a great job with the staff. We have a staff really dedicated to students.” What will Robson miss most about teaching? “I’m kind of a performer in the classroom,” he said. “So I’ll miss that day-to-day interaction with students.” Robson said he’s already thinking of ways to include more parents, as well as students, in daily communications, using Twitter and regular updates on the

Robson to follow ‘legend’ at Ansonia SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

ANSONIA – Ansonia’s new junior/senior high school principal Jim Robson says he’s looking forward to his new position, even though being “a little hesitant about following a legend.” The “legend,” Stephen Garman, is retiring after spending 37 and a half years with the school district. The Maria Stein graduate received his undergrad degree from Wright State University and his master’s from the University of Dayton. After spending 25 years teaching several subjects including social studies, government, economics, psychology, and history, Garman was hired as the principal for the school’s 7-12 grades. “I love my job,” said Garman, who has actually worked seven years longer than he intended. “I’ll miss the people, staff and students when I’m finished.” Garman said it was “a real plus working with the school and with the community,” at Ansonia. “I believe this is an excellent school system.” One of the highlights of Garman’s career was seeing the district consolidate to one building, during 2000-01. “Before then we were in three buildings. I was the middle school principal at that time. We must be doing something right because the community has supported us. Very seldom do you drive by (the school) at night and there’s not something going on.” Garman said he believed one of the biggest challenges in education during his career has been the need for additional student counseling service, noting

school district’s website. “I want to stay involved with students in that aspect,” he said. Robson and his wife Ann, a second-grade teacher at Randolph Eastern in Union City, Ind., are parents of two, Allison, also a second-grade teacher at Winchester, Ind., and Mason, a sophomore at Anderson University in Indiana. “He’s not going to follow in our footsteps,” to be a teacher, Robson said with a laugh. “He’s talking about attending the State Highway Patrol Academy.”

In the last few weeks, several potential clients have contacted me about lower back pain. If you have never experienced it, you won’t know how it can stop you in your tracks, keep you from reaching for something in the kitchen, prevent you from picking something up off the floor, or even wake you up at night. Whenever someone asks me about this kind of pain, my first question is, “When did you first notice it?� This is extremely important. If it is more than just an annoying strain, it is a really good idea to see a qualified medical professional to get a proper diagnosis. But how can you prevent these

Personal Trainer injuries, or even manage them once you are recovered? Proper exercise and good posture can go a long way. When the chest is forward of the hips when you are standing, the lower back is the

pivot point and where the strain will go if your muscles are not as strong as they can be. Often, the “core� muscles are the only focus, but we need to focus lower – specifically, the lower body. Think of your body like a house. The foundation is your lower body and the house (walls and structure) are the torso. If the foundation of a house is not strong enough, the house walls will not stay strong and stable. Same is true with your lower body supporting your torso. Your torso is a large portion of your body weight. If your lower body muscles – hips, glutes (your bum), leg muscles – are not strong, the torso will not be as easy to keep upright, putting back muscles at risk for injury. Some basic exercises you can do to improve your strength in your lower body include squats, lunges and deadlifts. It is very important to learn these with good technique so that you don’t increase your risk of injury – especially if you have had back issues in the

past. Seek out a qualified exercise professional (always ask for qualifications and experience) to show you the proper way to perform these exercises. There are modifications for each of these to accommodate any fitness level. Always get the go-ahead to start an exercise program from your physician, especially if you have known back issues. A diagnosis is very important so as not to cause additional problems. Sometimes, physical therapy may be recommended first. Being stronger means doing more of what you love for longer, so don’t be afraid to work hard to get the results you want.

Producer Diana Spitler is shown with Marion Adams, uncle and World War II veteran, and brother, Douglas Drieling, cameraman and actor.

WW II documentary donated to library GREENVILLE – A locally produced documentary about World War II has been donated to the Greenville Public Library to commemorate Memorial Day. Diana Spitler, from Bradford, and producer of “Write When You Can,” wants Americans to understand the sacrifices made for our freedoms. Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for those who have died in military service for the United States. World War II is the deadliest military conflict in history in absolute terms of total casualties. Over 60 million people were killed, which was about three percent of the 1940 world population. Total combat deaths are from 21- to 25-million including deaths in captivity. Have you ever wondered what it was like during World War II? Spitler feels you can now learn what it was like for a Covington family before, during, and after World War II. Through interviews

and letters, you will experience life after the depression, the tragedy of war, and the people known as “the greatest generation.” The 10-hour documentary (eight years in the making) has been aired on Piqua Public Access Television and is still airing on Greenville Public Access Channel 5. It is also available for checkout at OakesBeitman Memorial Library in Pleasant Hill, Garst Museum in Greenville, Arcanum Wayne Trail Historical Society, Miami Valley Veterans Museum in Troy, Central Ohio Military Museum in Grove City, Veterans Memorial Museum in Germantown, and Champaign Aviation Museum in Urbana. “By watching Write When You Can about a family’s struggle during the war, about history, about what these boys did while in the service – maybe we will come away with an appreciation for the sacrifices veterans made and our military personnel are still making to keep us free.”

GREENVILLE – Darke County employers have been recognized by the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) for going at least six months and 500,000 manhours without a workplace safety incident that caused a worker to miss a day or more of work. Each employer received the bureau’s Special Award for Safety during the Darke County Safety Council’s annual awards ceremony. “Maintaining a safe workplace requires real work and commitment, which isn’t easy given all the challenges related to operating a business,” said BWC Administrator/CEO Sarah Morrison. “I commend these employers and their workers for making safety a top priority and for their example to other businesses.

Darke REC commits to customer satisfaction GREENVILLE – Darke Rural Electric Cooperative (Darke REC) celebrated a year of outstanding member service and community involvement at its annual meeting of members, held March 16 at Lighthouse Christian Center, Greenville. Michelle Marker and Matt Webster were reelected to the cooperative’s board of trustees at the meeting. Marker represents District 4 of the cooperative’s service territory, which consists of Liberty, Neave, Van Buren, and Twin townships in Darke County. Webster represents District 7, which consists of Harrison, Twin, and Washington townships in Preble County. Darke REC General Manager Ted Holsapple highlighted the cooperative’s commitment to system reliability through ongoing improvement projects to the cooperative’s

infrastructure. “It’s really been our focus – to improve reliability for members by investing in our system,” Holsapple said. Darke REC plans to rebuild 22 miles of line in 2017, adding to the approximately 210 miles rebuilt in the last 12 years. The current 2017-2020 work plan also includes 71 miles of copper wire replacement and the installation of 3,000 new automated metering information (AMI) meters for members. These upgrades will greatly enhance the cooperative’s ability to minimize and respond to outages, and will also provide Darke REC members with more information about their energy consumption. These improvements will be made without the need for a rate increase in 2017, Holsapple reported. Holsapple also noted Darke REC’s

exceptional member satisfaction scores. In a 2016 American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) survey, Darke REC received an 88, placing it among the highest-rated of Ohio’s 24 electric cooperatives and well above the average scores of investor-owned utilities, which is a 72. “Our member satisfaction scores are a testament to our fantastic staff, who go above and beyond to provide excellent service to our members,” Holsapple said. In his report, Chief Financial Officer Brad Flora noted that revenue was up three percent and operating margins were up approximately $150,000. He also cited increased expenditures on tree trimming, due to the threat of dying ash trees falling into power lines, as well as substation improvements. “Tree trimming

and investments in infrastructure are significant expenses, but they’re necessary to improve service reliability,” Flora said. Pat O’Loughlin, president and CEO of Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives, discussed the outlook for Ohio’s statewide network of cooperatives. He reported that Cardinal Station, the primary source of power for Ohio’s electric coops, remains one of the cleanest coalfired power plants on the planet. “We have achieved this by making significant investments in proven, state-of-the-art environmental control technology,” O’Loughlin said. O’Loughlin also reported that the power supply portion of members’ rates should remain stable for at least the next few years. Board President Jack Kitchel discussed Darke REC’s commit-

ment to community through its Operation Round-up program. This program, which is funded by rounding up members’ bills to the next dollar, gave $22,400 to local causes in 2016. “Since the beginning of Operation Round-up, Darke REC members have given a total of $320,275,” Kitchel said. “It always amazes me the amount that is collected just by rounding up your bill to support our communities.” Kitchel also reported the recent retirement of $1.02 million in capital credits to members. Checks for credits earned in 2001 were delivered to members in December. “We continue to return capital credits on a 15-year cycle. And I want you to know that your co-op continues to be financially sound,” Kitchel said.
