Arcanum-Butler spreads kindness a mile long CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

ARCANUM – It took nearly 22,000 paper links and every single student from Arcanum-Butler Schools to “stretch their acts of kindness” nearly a mile across town Thursday afternoon. According to Arcanum Principal Jason Stephan, the idea came from a school assembly which talked about

Rachel’s Challenge that encourages acts of kindness that have a positive effect on others and put a stop to bullying. Rachel Scott was the ﬁrst student to be killed during the tragic shooting at Columbine High School in 1999. Since her death, the Scott family have heard many stories about her acts of kindness that made a difference in the lives around her. Along with the Arcanum

students…parents, teachers and administrators all took part in spreading kindness throughout the year. From simply picking up someone’s book or helping them with homework, a link was added to the “kindness chain” with every act of kindness. The “kindness chain” started off in the Arcanum Field House and made it’s way both directions of Main Street until every student was lined up as far north as

Sutton’s to Arcanum Hardware on the south end of town. “To be able to reward kindness and promote it throughout the year is a great cause for our school district to get behind,” Stephan said. “I am really proud of the entire school and all their efforts to make this happen!” Visit rachelschallenge. org to learn about Rachel’s Challenge and the story behind the kindness campaign.

Ormsby vows to stay tough on drugs as Prosecutor CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – Darke County Prosecuting Attorney R. Kelly Ormsby, III knows all too well of the tremendous responsibility that falls on his office when it comes to any criminal case. With 35 years of courtroom experience as a prosecutor, he has handled just about every type of case imaginable, up to and including aggravated murder. Ormsby knows that drug abuse is usually the common factor for most defendants in the courtroom and continues to drive up crime rates across the country. “There is no easy answer to the drug problem today,” Ormsby explained. “It needs to be a team effort in not only locking up the drug dealers, but getting the help needed to the drug addicts, especially young first offenders.” After a recent announcement of a local defense attorney seeking the office of Prosecutor, Ormsby wants

the public to be aware of the many positive things that have been accomplished since he took office in 2009. In a recent article, his opponent has stated he would “clean up the office.” Ormsby feels his office is on the right track and he has a great group of assistant prosecutors that work hard and have an excellent record of convictions. “I would hate to see all we have worked for dismantled and my team broken up if my opponent were to prevail,” Ormsby said. “We have an excellent team of attorneys and support staff, most of whom have many years of experience.” Unlike his opponent, Ormsby has served his entire legal career as a prosecutor. He is happy in that role and says he has never had any desire to be a criminal defense attorney. Ormsby grew up in the Detroit area of Michigan. He later graduated from college at the University of Michigan and then the Indiana University School

of Law. He started as an assistant prosecuting attorney in northwest Ohio in June 1981. He later moved to Darke County 20 years ago when he began his career with the Darke County Prosecuting Attorney’s Ofﬁce in 1996 – under then Prosecutor Jonathan P. Hein. Once Hein was elected Common Pleas Court Judge, Ormsby later became First Assistant Prosecutor under Prosecutor Dick Howell

– who sadly lost his battle with cancer in 2009, when Ormsby stepped up to ﬁll the role. Kelly is a proud father of his step-son Cameron (20), who is currently serving in the U.S. Navy, and two younger sons – Alex (14) and Matthew (12). Being a father of two young boys and a resident of Darke County for much of his life, Ormsby takes a lot of pride in his job and the safety of this community.

When asked what are the biggest rewards of being a prosecutor, he said, “Getting justice for the victims of crime, for the hard working law enforcement ofﬁcers, and for the community as a whole. Whether it be by a guilty plea or as a result of a trial, when justice is served, I then feel I have made a positive difference.” In addition to criminal duties, a prosecutor is expected to undertake many civil duties as well. Ormsby has been active in attending many community and budget meetings to better understand the issues facing other elected ofﬁcials at every level of government and to give support where it is needed. He is also visible at many public events and is always open to answer any questions and concerns from community members. Ormsby also has been asked to serve as a special prosecutor in neighboring counties. He most recently prosecuted a child rape case in Mercer County and just last week that defen-

dant was sentenced to a prison term of 25 years to life. If he is fortunate enough to gain the voters support again this November, Ormsby vows to continue his ﬁght against the drug epidemic that continues to plague us here in Darke County. He claims his courtroom record speaks for itself, as does that of his primary felony assistant, Deborah S. Quigley. Since he was named prosecutor in 2009, both have squared off against Ormsby’s election opponent in a number of trials…and got a conviction every time. “My opponent says that he just wants ‘to give people a choice.’ I believe the people already made a good choice in electing me…and that is why I am seeking their continued support to re-elect me this November.” The Darke County Prosecuting Attorney’s Ofﬁce is open Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and can be reached at 937-5477380.

‘Silent hero’ named 2016 Senior Citizen of the Year SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Mississinawa Valley ﬁfth-grader Naomi Hathaway knows how to keep a secret. For the past month, Naomi has known the name of the person being tapped for the 2016 Darke County Senior Citizen of the Year. “I found out on the phone,” Naomi said. “Dad was like ‘this is top secret.’” Nominated by Naomi, Ruth Howell of Greenville learned during the May 18 Senior Citizen Day event at Romer’s Catering that she had been selected to receive the senior citizen award. Ruth said she was surprised to hear Naomi’s name announced prior to her own name. “At ﬁrst I didn’t catch it,” Ruth said of what was taking place. “I heard Naomi’s name and thought ‘there’s Naomi. My Naomi.’” Being named Senior Citizen of the Year, Ruth said, came as “a total surprise.”

Prior to the announcement, Naomi had been “hidden” in one of the ofﬁces at Romer’s, said her father, Brian Hathaway, co-owner of Spirit Medical in Greenville. For the past couple years, Ruth has been Naomi’s reading tutor, through Gateway’s Council on Rural Services tutoring program. A former Title I reading teacher in the Northridge school district, north of Dayton, Ruth was instrumental in helping organize a tutoring program in Darke County, through the former RSVP – the Retired Senior Volunteer Program. Ruth started teaching at Northridge in 1961, before eventually moved to Greenville to care for some elderly family members. With a love for reading “many topics,” Ruth said, she decided to put her skills to work as a reading tutor for area students. Naomi read the nomination letter she wrote on behalf of Ruth to the more than 300 seniors and community members present during the Senior Citizen

Day luncheon. “This is a story of a silent hero living right here in the Darke County community,” she said. “Not only is she a hero to me, but a hero to hundreds of other children she has touched the lives of throughout her years as a teacher and now in her years of ‘retirement teaching.’” Brian and Audrey Hathaway were told during Naomi’s kindergarten year that their daughter was falling behind in reading. As a ﬁrst-grader, despite making all As and Bs in her classes, she was still below grade level, even with in-school intervention. An eye doctor soon diagnosed Naomi with eyesight issues, which required her to wear bifocals. By the end of second grade, Naomi learned that she might not be able to pass the state mandated Third Grade Guarantee, which would be given at the end of the next school year. “At the age of eight,” she wrote, “it was hard for me to understand how I could be getting good grades, but might have to

stay in third grade simply because I couldn’t pass a state-required test.” Just as she was getting ready to enter third grade, Brian learned about “a lady at Gateway’s Council on Rural Service Program that was touching the lives of many Darke County children.” Naomi continued: “As soon as I met this lady, I fell in love with the way she was able to teach me.” Today, after many hours of tutoring, ﬁfthgrader Naomi is reading at a sixth-grade, ﬁfth month level. And, yes, she passed the Third Grade Guarantee. Ruth believes today’s senior citizens have a lot to offer during their retirement years. “I view senior citizens today as having unique opportunities. Since this was an educated generation, they have a commitment to be able to identify something that’s a personal passion or interest and pursue it in retirement. It’s perhaps the most remarkable part of life,” Ruth said. “I feel honored to receive this award, but

every senior citizen who nurtures their family and the community has also received it.” The Darke County Senior Outreach sponsors the annual Senior Citizen Day, with participation from many local businesses and organizations, including Spirit Medical, Reid Health Medical Equipment & Uniforms, Bethel Cardiology of Greenville, Heartland Hospice, Heartland of Greenville, Brookdale Greenville, Comprehensive Health

Network, Village Green Health Campus, Versailles Health Care Center, Union City Care Center, Rest Haven, Wayne Health Care, Wayne HealthCare Foundation, Brethren Retirement Community, State of the Heart Care, Darke County United Way, Miami Valley Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, YMCA, Catholic Social Services, Community Action Partnership, Oakley Place, and Johnston Chiropractic.

ing her boyfriend, Jason Landis, they were watching TV when the suspect, Meta Landis entered her son Jason’s bedroom and began yelling at Cates to leave. According to the report, Cates and Jason put their shoes on and as they proceeded to walk down the stairs, Meta Landis grabbed a stick and struck Cates on the shoulder, continuing to poke Cates with the stick. After being poked several times Jason Landis removed the stick from Meta’s hand and advised her to stop. Cates told the officer Meta threatened to slice her throat. Cates and Jason Landis exited the residence where they stayed by Cates’ car and contacted GPD. After speaking with Cates the officer spoke with Meta Landis, who had also called the police department for assistance. Meta Landis said she kicked Jason Landis out and only lets him stay at the residence from time to time and he is not to have Cates there. Meta Landis advised that Cates has been officially trespassed from the property and is aware of this information. When Meta Landis learned Cates was at the residence, she confronted Cates telling her she needed to leave. Cates told Meta Landis she didn’t have to and began to approach Meta in a quick threatening manner. Jason and Cates both told the officer Jason invited Cates to the residence and both advised they were aware Cates had been trespassed from the property. Meta Landis was issued a citation for assault against Cates. While conducting the investigation the officer learned Cates had been trespassed from the residence on July 5, 2014. Cates was issued a citation for trespassing at the residence. Drugs

May 17, dispatch re-

ceived a call from a complainant stating David Elliott was on Central Avenue and was wanted on a felony warrant. Elliott was located by an ofﬁcer at Central and Penn streets and was arrested on the felony warrant for contempt of court with the original charge of possession of heroin. Elliott was transported to the Darke County Jail. Wanted Person

On May 17, an officer observed Sterling Seiler walking on the roadway in the 400 block of Armstrong Street. The officer had prior knowledge that Seiler had an active warrant for his arrest out of Darke County for failure to appear on a driving under suspension charge. The officer made contact with Seiler as he was entering a vehicle. Seiler’s warrant was confirmed through dispatch and he was placed under arrest and transported to the Darke County Jail and was incarcerated on a $1,025 bond. Breaking/Entering

On May 16, an alarm sounded at McMiller’s Carryout at 4:50 a.m. The alarm company advised they could hear glass breaking near the front door of the business. Upon arrival, a police officer noted he could see the front door glass had been shattered and there was a hole in the bottom half of the pane. The key holder arrived and officers made entry. A brick was on the floor near the checkout counter and it was apparent that it was used to break the door open. Officers watched a surveillance video and noted a suspect went behind the counter to access a shelf, taking two bottles of vodka. He then proceeded to take three packs of cigarettes and left the store. The suspect appeared to be a white male, approximately 5’10”

tall, wearing a white puffy winter jacket. The jacket was pulled up around his face. He also was wearing dark gloves and was careful getting through the door glass. The next day, May 17, officers were again dispatched to the carryout on the report of the alarm sounding at approximately 3:30 a.m. Upon arrival, the officer noticed a brick again had been used in an attempt to enter the premises. The key holder was called and when he arrived, watched the video with the officer and witnessed an unknown suspect arriving outside the store who appeared to be the same suspect as the night before. The suspect attempted to throw a brick through the window two times, but the door glass does not break. The suspect then leaves the front porch area for a minute before coming back to collect the brick he brought with him. A short time later the brick can be seen going through the glass window on the west side of the building, setting off the alarm. The suspect fled the area after throwing the brick through the window. The suspect appeared to be wearing gloves and a hoody. Dead Body

On April 14, an officer was dispatched to Autumn Lane in reference to an unresponsive female. Upon arrival, the officer made contact with the emergency squad attempting to resuscitate Melinda Back in the kitchen area. When it was determined they would not be able to resuscitate Ms. Back, the coroner was called to the scene. Ms. Back’s boyfriend, Jacob Pretsman advised the officer he found Ms. Back on the floor when he arrived home from work and was unable to get her to respond. It was determined that Ms. Back, who had

given birth earlier this month, had been suffering from headaches and went to Wayne HeathCare on May 12 for treatment. The coroner’s office advised they would perform an autopsy to determine the cause of death. On May 14, an officer was dispatched to the 100 block of Deshler Avenue in reference to a possible dead body. Upon arrival, the officer went to the front door, which was partially opened. The officer entered the residence and found the complainant, Mark Quinn, sitting in a chair. On the sofa was a white male sitting slumped over with signs of livor mortis around his head, ears and hands. A medic pronounced him DOA and no lifesaving measures were taken. The officer spoke with Quinn further, learning that the deceased was his caretaker, Troy Cole, who had come to the residence the previous day to care for Quinn. After eating dinner, the two watched television. Quinn retired to his room for the night and woke up to find Mr. Cole still in the living room, unresponsive. The coroner’s office was called and responded to the scene. It was determined the deceased would be released to a funeral home pending notification of the family. EARLY BIRD POLICY

Sheriff’s Office warns of recent IRS scams The Darke County Sheriff’s Office has received numerous calls from citizens reporting an IRS telephone scam in the Darke County area over the last few days. This type of scam has been going on all around the country for sometime and seems to be perpetrated in this area periodically. The scam typically involves a caller reporting that the IRS is taking legal action against the person receiving the call. The caller often threatens that this is a final call and some financial or legal detriment will come to the victim. Many times the caller has a foreign accent and uses intimidation to solicit personal information from the unsuspecting citizen. In addition they may suggest a particular amount of money that the victim could send to stop the al-

leged “IRS” legal action. The caller will suggest that you send money through money wiring services or money cards. This is a scam and an illegal telecommunications fraud scheme. The numbers on the caller ID are often incorrect or can not be effectively tracked within the state or country. If you receive such a call you should immediately hang up and do not engage the caller. Do not provide or verify any personal information that the caller might ask for or present. Do not send money. The Darke County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce is aware of the scam and you do not need to report it to us unless you have shared your personal information or feel you have been victimized by the scam and suffered a monetary loss.

Sheriff Toby Spencer is warning citizens not to fall for this scam. In all situations, it is important that citizens do not verify or provide any personal information over the phone unless they positively know or trust the caller. Any citizens who have suffered a monetary loss or feel they have compromised their personal identifying information can contact

the Darke County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce at 937-548-2020 or their local law enforcement agency.

GREENVILLE – A local man was critically injured after being stabbed in the chest at the Circle Mart gas station in Greenville Monday night.

went open-heart surgery and has been on a ventilator for most of his stay so far. No arrests have yet been made in this attack, as police are continuing to interview possible witnesses and await surveillance video from the store. The suspect is claiming self-defense and there are conﬂicting statements from eyewitnesses, according to investigators.

Family conﬁrmed the pair had an ongoing feud which most likely led to the altercation. The store was temporarily closed while the incident remains under investigation and the scene was cleaned up. If you have any information about this incident, contact the Greenville Police Department at 937-548-4150 or Darke County Crime Stoppers at 937-547-1661.

Edison to offer new agribusiness program this fall BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Recognizing a need to provide agribusiness education was a “talking point” Chad Beanblossom discussed during a job interview last year. Beanblossom was hired for the job – Dean of Edison’s Darke County Campus – and now his talking points are coming true. “It’s something that I brought up during my interview for the position. I’ve been with Edison a little over a year. I recognized a need and after unofﬁcial discussions with staff and community members, came to realize it was a need.” This coming August, students who want a future in agriculture can start their journey at Edison in Greenville, when the school’s launches its new agribusiness program. Beanblossom said his grandparents farmed in Darke County and he was privileged to work on their farm as a youth. According to Andrea Francis, Edison’s market-

ing and communications specialist, school ofﬁcials conducted a feasibility study from November 2015 through January 2016, surveying area high school students, current Edison State students, agriculture industry leaders, local farmers, government agencies and other agriculture and extension educators. Darke County Commissioner Diane Delaplane said she’s pleased Edison is offering their new ag program. “Agriculture in various forms affects many businesses in Darke County and Ohio. I am pleased and applaud Edison State Community College, Darke County Campus, for being active in offering agriculture programs for our citizens,” Delaplane said. “We advocate to live, educate, work, and socialize here in our own great Darke County, the bright spot in Ohio.” The program’s ﬁrst course, AGR 101S Introduction to Agriculture will focus on agribusiness. Students will take required

Stand Against Violence at library VERSAILLES – Worch Memorial Public Library is hosting Stand Against Violence program on June 2, 5:30 p.m. Speaker, Theo Makombe, will share stories of his time in Rwandan as a genocide survivor. Makombe will speak about the violence that ripped his country apart and how we in America can make a stand against the violence that is increasing in our country. Having seen the effects of violence

on both victims and perpetrators, he is passionate about stopping hatred and prejudice where it starts. This will be an insightful and informative program for all. For more information about this program or anything else at the library, call 526-3416 or visit the library website at www. worch.lib.oh.us for a calendar with a full list of the activities throughout the year.

general education courses during their first semester, along with the introductory to agriculture class. The 60-65-hour program will focus on courses in agriculture finance, international business, animal science and agronomy. Internship and industry observations will be required. Additional focus areas, certificates and credentials will be included as the program grows. Articulation agreements with four-year institutions also will be explored, Francis said. According to Beanblossom, Carmen Hartzell, ag teacher/FFA adviser at Mississinawa Valley CTC has been hired as Edison’s new consultant to assist in setting up the agribusiness curriculum Edison will offer. “It is exciting to work with Edison State to develop an agriculture major so close to home,” Hartzell said. “Students in classrooms like mine

will have the option to stay close to home and earn certiﬁcates, an associate degree or start the path to a bachelor’s degree in agriculture.” Hartzell said her experience as a high school ag teacher/FFA adviser will help as she works with Edison personnel to develop course curriculum. “Agribusiness is a focus that can apply to the student with so much ﬂexibility,” Hartzell said. “We especially considered the entrepreneur, as small business is everywhere in Darke County.” The college will advertise soon to hire a program director/faculty member to begin this fall. This person will be charged with developing the program, additional courses and recruiting students. Students currently enrolled in high school, as well as recent graduates and those in the workforce

who are looking to go back to school are eligible to enroll in the agribusiness program, Beanblossom said. “All residents of this region are connected to agriculture in some way, and the overall goal of this program is to provide students with an option to gain knowledge in a ﬁeld of study they have been so deeply connected to their entire lives,” Beanblossom explained. “The program will provide students with skills they can take back to their family farms, knowledge to work directly in the agriculture industry, or prepare students

for a career in one of the many agricultural-related ﬁelds.” Edison also plans to work with other institutions of higher learning as well as area high schools to implement the new program. “We’ll also have the opportunity to partner with area high school agriculture programs. It is our goal to allow students to earn college credit for the work they do in high school classrooms that can be used toward the completion of Edison State’s Associate Degree in Agriculture,” Beanblossom said.

ON YOUR MIND

Nature important to tourism in county Tourism Talks Matthew Staugler Darke County Visitor’s Bureau Executive Director

When most think of “tourism,” they think of our physical attractions: Garst Museum, Bear’s Mill, the KitchenAid Experience Retail Center, and others. What you may not realize is how popular nature tourism is. Nature tourism is deﬁned as responsible travel to natural areas, which conserves the environment and improves the welfare of local people. Other places in Ohio, like Hocking Hills, have capitalized on this immensely, making those places a destination for those interested in nature and wildlife. One hundred and eight million nature tourists spent more than $145 billion nationally in 2011. Wildlife watchers spent $31 million on food and $45.5 million in transportation in the state of Ohio, proving the nature tourism market is a vibrant one. Darke County Parks does a spectacular job preserving some of our most beautiful natural habitats in the local area, and also provides events and pro-

grams to help people enjoy and interpret our protected lands. Darke County is well-positioned to take advantage of what are called “soft adventures,” deﬁned as activities that are not overtly physically demanding. Those segments are where we are seeing the most growth and interest, including running (up 35 percent), hiking (up 16 percent), wildlife viewing (up 13 percent), birdwatching (up 29 percent), and recreational kayaking (up 97 percent). Those activities are also tied to more overnight stays, leading to more economic activity in the area. Darke County Parks enhances nearly all of these activities, with programs like Canoeing/Kayaking Adventures, the Darke County Birders Club, and their efforts to build and improve paved walking and cycling paths. It’s important for citizens to recognize what a great impact our parks have on our quality of life, not only as residents, but from the economic activity and visitors that they bring into Darke County on a daily basis. If you haven’t been to any of our parks sites lately, I’d encourage you to pay them a visit and enjoy the incredible scenery we have here in Darke County.

READERS WRITE

Septic System Fees are Rubbish Ohio Health Departments are rolling out Federal EPA mandates resulting in residents being forced to pay permit fees for ensuring their septic systems are functioning properly. The Darke County Health Department states that these permit fees cover their costs to run the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) program which consist of database record keeping, educating the public on septic operation and inspection of residents septic systems. I believe imposing these fees onto the public without a vote or community hearing is fundamentally wrong. Every task the Health Department cites as reasoning for these fees are rubbish. The databases exist and are populated with data for every Darke County residents’ address and septic system installed. Most citizens using septic systems are responsible and educated as to how they function as well. Also, one can easily ﬁnd information and resources regarding their septic systems by searching websites on the internet. And the inspection aspect is a joke as I personally know of three unique individuals who have fallen victim to these septic fees and never once have they seen an inspector on their property however their fees are collected and their permits are issued. I am deeply troubled by the refusal of Ohio county health departments to stand by their fellow citizens in recognition of this unfair collection of monies. This process forces residents to pay up and gives the citizens of Darke County absolutely nothing in return. The O&M program is nothing more than a levy imposed upon people which had no voice in this matter. It seems to me that chip by chip ones personal existence is being scrutinized by government bureaucrats so that more and more monies can be milked away from those of us that are eking out a meager living. The freedom to live in a rural county and live off the grid regarding sewage and water is a freedom of choice and now that freedom is being taxed in the guise of permit fees. What is a next, a well water usage fee? Taxing the air we breathe? You may laugh at that statement however the O&M program is paving that pathway. Rene Bechard, Arcanum

Like a lot of people who have put up with Ohio winters for way too many years, she and dad retired to the Sunshine State. With both of my parents advancing in their age, we’ve renamed our vacations to mission trips. If they need anything done, we are more than happy to help. Unfortunately, we don’t get to take as many mission trips as we would like. My mom recently told me she was going under the knife to try and ﬁx an issue she has been having with her balance. I knew the surgery was coming, but she played it off like it wasn’t that big of a deal. A couple of days before the surgery I got a text telling me how serious the surgery could be and what I should do if she didn’t make it through. What do you mean “not make it through,” I thought. After receiving the disturbing text, the very ﬁrst thing I did the next afternoon was to call her. (She

going to be in trouble for what I write – even if it’s not embarrassing.) However, she is getting older and doesn’t get around like she once did. It’s not like she’s ancient and vying for the oldest person in the world status. I would say she is more of your typical Baby Boomer. She worked hard her entire life. She did an exceptional job of raising three boys to be very moral, hard working, respectful and she taught us how to cook, clean, and do laundry. I’m pleased to say one of us turned out like she had hoped. For clariﬁcation, I’m talking about me – not the other two. As times changed, she adapted. She even went back to school to learn more about computers so she could keep up with her ever-changing ofﬁce. For a few years before she retired she was the secretary (or as they call them now, administrative professional) for the president/CEO of a Fortune 500 company headquartered in Dayton.

raised three sons. Boys don’t respond to things like a daughter might.) I asked her if she had told my older brother. The answer was no. She didn’t want to burden him because he’s too busy with his kids, grandkids and work. (See, I told you I was the good one.) I told her she had to call him, which she did. He did as I thought he would and made the mission trip. I really wanted to be there. Not because I didn’t think she wouldn’t make it through the surgery. I had every bit of faith that she would be okay. I wanted to be there when she was coming out of the anesthesia with a video camera. I tried to get her to teach my dad how to use the camera on her phone, but she wouldn’t. I ﬁgure that would be the perfect time to ask and get an honest answer to which of your sons do you like best? I already know the answer; I just want her to conﬁrm my suspicions. My phone should be ringing in 5…4…3…2…1… “Hi mom.”

HB 334 exempts federally tax-exempt nonproﬁt charitable organizations that are gyms, recreational or sports club facilities from sales and use tax memberships. According to the sponsor, prior to this

passage, Ohio was one of six states to have this tax on non-proﬁt gyms. The Legislative Service Commission estimates that $7.3 million in tax revenue would be foregone, compared to the $23 million provided in ﬁ-

nancial assistance to those who can’t afford a membership on their own. House Bill 334 passed with bipartisan support and now moves to the Ohio Senate for further consideration.

Local Christian riders make â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Run for the Sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Comedy and Cocktails BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Local area chapter of the Christian Motorcyclists Association (CMA) recently made their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Run for the Sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is part of the national organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual fundraising event. Members of the Yeshuaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cross Riders, a CMA chapter based out of Miami County, gathered at Back In Time Cafe in Greenville Saturday, May 7 for breakfast before making their way to Fort Recovery, Ft. Loramie and stopping for a group prayer at the lake lighthouse in Celina. According to the CMA website at www.cmausa. org, this marked the 28th year for the Run for the Son event, which has raised over $58 Mil nationally. The money raised allows the organization the chance to place the message of hope and salvation in front of the multitudes in 192 of the 196 countries of the world. Run for the Son has enabled CMA to equip the saints here in the United States and all over the world to reach the lost with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get sponsors for this 100 mile ride and the money raised goes to support other ministries around

the world,â&#x20AC;? said past chapter president Earl Wagner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a great day for a great eventâ&#x20AC;Śwhich includes all the CMA chapters across the United States!â&#x20AC;? As the CMA website states, it started in 1975

as one man on a motorcycle with a willingness to obey God has grown into a worldwide ministry with thousands of members and chapters across the USA and outreaches in more than 30 countries around the world.

Our members enjoy an unmatched experience as they involve themselves in the ministry with their local CMA chapter. Strong friendships develop around the common interests of faith, family and motorcycling. Today, the Yeshuaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cross Riders chapter of the Christian Motorcyclists Association has around 18 active members. The group is a non-proďŹ t, non-denominational which meets every third Thursday of the month from 6-7 p.m. at Fox Pizza in West Milton, Ohio. They also gather every ďŹ rst Saturday of the month for a breakfast Bible study at Tall Tails Inn in Laura, Ohio.

Bradford Rescue welcomes special delivery CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

BRADFORD – Born Monday, May 9, Benjamin Alexander Brown is considered a normal, healthy baby by any standard…but how the little guy made his way into the world is something special indeed. At approximately 7:42 a.m., Bradford Rescue was dispatched to a home on E. Main Street on a report of a 22-year-old woman, who was 42 weeks pregnant, having contractions and needing transported to the hospital. As Bradford Rescue EMT’s Tiffany Wysong and Aaron Kuhn arrived on the scene they immediately requested for additional personnel to respond. Soon after, they were joined by fellow EMT Chris Hensley and driver Josh Hoelscher. During the transport to Upper Valley Medical Center (UVMC) in Troy, Courtney Clack went into active labor. Hoelscher pulled the squad off the roadway as Kuhn, Hensley and Wysong got ready for delivery. Though Kuhn and Hensley have experience in delivering a baby, this was a ﬁrst being in the rear of the ambulance. “I had so many things running through my head as to what could go wrong,” Wysong explained. “I was just so thankful to be with an experienced crew that have delivered before!” Once young Benjamin arrived, the crew was

faced with a complication of the umbilical cord being wrapped around the newborn’s neck. Thankfully, the experienced EMT’s were able to remove the cord and get the baby breathing. “That was a trying time for us. He came out with the cord around his neck and not breathing. It was very scary for me and I’m sure everyone else,” Kuhn said. “We just stayed calm and mom did what she needed to do and thankfully it all turned out great!” “It was nerve-racking for me! I just tried to stay calm and keep the medic ride as smooth as possible,” added Hoelscher. After the birth, the crew resumed the transport to UVMC where mom and baby were greeted by maternity ward staff who took over from there. Mom and little Benjamin returned home 48 hours later. “This is deﬁnitely a feelgood call…well maybe not for mom,” Hensley said jokingly. “We are involved in so many calls that go the opposite direction and this kind of refreshed us a bit as to why we love what we do!” At 8:21 a.m. on 2305 Farrington Road in Troy, Courtney Clack gave birth to Benjamin Alexander Brown. He was 9 lbs. 13 oz. and measured 22 inches long. He is the son of Danny Brown and little brother to almost 2-year-old Katelyn. “They did really good and I am really thankful for all of them,” Clack said about the Bradford Rescue personnel.

Commissioners to apply for airport runway grant SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY - Commissioners approved a resolution May 16 authorizing their consultant, Key Funding Services Inc. to file an application for a grant to assist with upgrades for the Darke County Airport. The grant application will be filed with the Ohio Department of Transportation – Office of Aviation for funding under the FY16 Ohio Airport Marching Grant Program for funds to assist with the “recapture of the existing 300-foot runway threshold,” according to the commission agenda. On Wednesday, May 18, commissioners approved a contract with Harris & Leach Inc. for regularly scheduled maintenance of the county airport’s automatic weather operating system (AWOS). According to the contract, Harris & Leach Inc. agrees to: * Scheduled maintenance on the airport’s AWOS in ac-

cordance with manufacture maintenance manuals and applicable FAA technical instructions. * All required FAA ground inspections. * Unscheduled repairs as necessary. Commission also noted this past week they have yet to receive signed leases or proof of insurance from nine hangar tenants at the airport. In April, the nine individuals received a letter from the county prosecutor’s ofﬁce informing them eviction action would be taken if they did not comply with the request by May 31. The only correspondence received, said commissioner Mike Rhoades, is a letter from tenant Hottes DeHays of Cygnet, Ohio, asking commissioners to reconsider their request. In April, commissioners stated they were requiring all hangar tenants sign a lease and provide proof of insurance in order to comply with FAA standards of operation for the county’s airport.

Watch for Details 2nd Annual Poker Run 7-30-2016 SO FAR THIS MONTH WE’VE PAID OUT OVER $13,800! COME JOIN US!

GREENVILLE – Two Darke County teachers were honored May 17 when they were named co-teachers of the year by the Darke County Retired Teachers Association. Eight teachers from Darke County school districts were nominated for the honor by their peers, with one-on-one interviews and the selection process beginning last month. Honors for the 2016 Teacher of the Year went to kindergarten teacher Melinda Thompson from Ansonia Schools and Jodi Humphries, a middle school intervention specialist for Mississinawa Valley School District. “It’s always a tough selection,” said Mike Gray, Darke County Education Service Center superintendent. “This year is a banner year because we have co-winners.” Thompson, a 1989 graduate of Greenville High School, said she was “shocked” at being selected. “There were seven other wonderful educators representing their school districts. I feel very honored and surprised,” she said. Thompson earned a bachelor of science in rehabilitation from Wright State University, returning to school to attend a professional year program in education to teach grades PreK-3. She spent one year teaching preschool for Anthony Wayne, then worked as a Title 1 Reading teacher. Thompson taught kindergarten at Greenville for nine years and has been at Ansonia for the past three years. Thompson and her husband Trent have two sons, Garrett, 16 and Gabe, 12, who attend Versailles schools. Humphries, a 1985 graduate of Mississinawa

Valley, earned a special education degree from Ball State University before returning to her alma mater to teach. During her 21-year career, Humphries has seen many changes with special education. “We have taken special education students from the resource room and put them in regular classroom settings. We’ve raised our expectations of them,” she said, in part due to standardized testing that is required by all Ohio students. Humphries and her husband Bo are parents of two daughters, Kaelyn, 26, and Victoria, 20. They also have three grandchildren, Jalen, 5, Kyndall, 18 months, and Kamden, 3 months. Also Tuesday, two students were presented $400 scholarships from the Darke County Retired Teachers Association. Ally Hayes of Greenville will graduate fourth in her class this year and plans to attend Anderson University to study elementary education. Alyson Morgan of Versailles is graduating ninth in her class and will be attending the University of Cincinnati with plans to become a high school math teacher. Cathy Harris of TriVillage Schools was named the 2016 Mentor of the Year. Also nominated for 2016 Teacher of the Year were Cindy Angle, 5th grade teacher from Bradford Schools; Diane Gray, 4th grade teacher from Franklin Monroe Schools; Martha Skidmore, 6th grade teacher from TriVillage Schools; Karen Albers, 2nd grade teacher from Versailles Schools; Sharon Barga, kindergarten teacher from Arcanum Schools and Amanda Rieman, 2nd grade teacher from Greenville Schools. The 2016 Teacher of the Year banquet was held at the First Presbyterian Church in Greenville.

The developmentally disabled have a voice RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – People with developmental disabilities (DD) are ﬁnding their own voice and standing up for what is right. While these individuals have their advocates, sometimes relying on others to be your mouthpiece isn’t enough. Approximately 15-20 persons with developmental disabilities have formed the Self Advocacy Group that meets once a month at Person Centered Services (PCS), formerly operated by Wayne Industries. At their May meeting, Sammuel Ploch, group president, led and encouraged the group to stand up for themselves and let people know who they really are. Matt Harrison, secretary/treasurer, shared they are trying to reach as many people as possible to show they are valuable members of the community.

Ofﬁcers for the Self Advocacy Group are Anthony Wright, vice-president; Sammuel Ploch, president; and Matt Harrison, secretary/treasurer.

Harrison is correct. The local DD board has shared success stories repeatedly on the contributions persons with development disabilities are making in Darke County. These individuals are making a positive impact through their work at various businesses and through community service. The Self Advocacy Group has invited the me-

dia to cover their meeting and have produced a public service announcement for radio. As they continue to educate the public, group members continue to learn more about themselves and what it means to be a selfadvocate. At their recent meeting, group members answered that question and learned they don’t need to stay silent if they believe

abuse is taking place. Caregivers and service providers are bound by law to act when an abuse case is reported. The Self Advocacy Group hopes to hold a social event with community members later this summer. For group members, it is just another way to educate the public on who they really are.

McKinney, Guillozet earn top GHS award GREENVILLE – The Greenville athletics department awarded its highest honor, the Jack Raudabaugh Award, to a male and female student on May 17. The recipients were Chloe McKinney and Clay Guillozet. The Jack Raudabaugh Award is named after a former very successful teacher and coach at Greenville High School. To earn the award, recipients must achieve the criteria he put in place to inspire students at Greenville. Athletes, unless they are extremely outstanding, must compete in two sports, be in the upper third of the senior class, be of good moral character, willing to make needed sacriﬁces in order to be a good athlete, be someone team members can look up to and be a leader, not only in athletics, but other school activities as well. McKinney holds a 4.272 gpa (grade point average) and has competed in Cross Country for two years, basketball for four years and track for four years. She lettered every year she competed in her chosen sports. She has also earned numerous awards including team and conference awards. She is a member of the National Honor Society, Science Club and Art Club. Guillozet holds a 3.995 gpa and has participated in football and basketball for four years and track for two years.

GREENVILLE – The Tinora Lady Rams brought an impressive 19-1 record to town only to have the Lady Wave send the visitors home with three season losses ﬁnding themselves on the losing end of a twin bill by scores of 11-8 and 10-4 on Saturday afternoon bringing the 2016 home season to a close. “Good stuff… good day at Lady Wave Stadium,” said Greenville Coach Jerrod Newland. “Two good teams. They rolling in at 19-1 and that’s good stuff. Competitive games and a lot of runs, a lot of hits both ways. Bottom line we come out ahead for two games.” Greenville’s three seniors; Ashton Kester, Allison Minnich and Jazzlyn Petry used the second win of the day to register their 100th career varsity softball win playing for the Lady Wave Softball (LWSB) varsity high school program. “Today 100 wins for the seniors,” Newland stated. “That’s kinda nice.

Probably the last game on the home ﬁeld ever… 100th win.” “Just proud of the kids and proud of the program,” continued Newland. “It says something when you lineup and win 100 games over four years. My math is not good but that is 25 a year and they got a few more they want to win.” Each of the LWSB seniors have signed to continue their studies while

competing at the college level. Ashton Kester will be playing softball for the Findlay Lady Oilers while battery mates Allison Minnich and Jazzlyn Petry will take the ﬁeld for the Sinclair Lady Tartans. The seniors won two GWOC North Championships outright and shared two championships over four years. The Lady Wave, a D-II program carry a gruel-

ing schedule each year playing mostly larger D-I schools while Coach Newland schedules the state’s best teams making the 100 career wins even more spectacular. The 2016 LWSB class has amassed a 100-21 record including an impressive 36-4 GWOC North mark over four years and were part of handing Coach Newland his 300th and 350th career wins at GHS.

GREENVILLE – Five Greenville Jr. High School athletes will compete for a state title this weekend at the Middle School State Track & Field meet in Dublin, Ohio. Competing for the Green Wave are 8th graders Foster Cole, Taylor Schmidt and Riley Hunt, and 7th graders Ty Ferguson and Hayden Sharp. Cole will be competing in two events for Greenville – the 110m hurdles, where his personal best time is 17.1 seconds and the 200m hurdles, with a personal best of 27.5 seconds. “Foster has really stepped up as a leader this year. He is a real hard worker,” state GJHS Track Coach Mark Jackson. “Many times Foster has stayed an additional 45 minutes to an hour after practice working on high jump or hurdles personally and helping others out. He’s a great kid!” Schmidt is compet-

Spring Tip of the Week...

This is Travel Season

A flat tire never happens at a good time. Be prepared by reviewing how to install your spare tire making sure you have everything you need and it is in working order. In my years in the business I have seen many cars towed because their spare tire hoist is rusted and stuck.

ing in the discus where her best throw is 77′ 8″. This season Taylor won the Greenville Invitational and placed 4th overall in the GWOC North. Hunt is scheduled to battle it out for the high mark in the pole vault event. Riley has a personal best of 9′ 3″ and hopes to rise above the competition this weekend. “Riley is a competitor. She doesn’t allow being hurt or injuries to slow her down. (although sometimes I wish she would slow down just a little),” Coach Jackson said. “In her second year doing pole vault, she has exceeded expectations.” Sharp is also competing

in the pole vault event for Greenville. He has a personal best height of 9′ 6″ which he says he hopes to break at the state meet. “Hayden is someone willing to step and when needed,” Jackson added. “He has picked up pole vault and has shown to like it and do pretty well for his ﬁrst time.” Ferguson will run for the Wave in both the 100m and 400m dash, where his personal best is 54.8 seconds. He has excelled as one of the top Wave runners in the ﬁnal meets this season. “Ty is one of the most amazing junior high athletes I have coached in my 13 years,” Coach stated.

“He takes running serious. Practices, warm-ups and meet competition… he always works his hardest. For a 7th grader running sub 55 second 400’s is amazing!” The state meet will be held at Dublin Scioto High School and is hosted by the Ohio Youth Runner organization.

UNION CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Darke County native Michael GrifďŹ n is returning home, to become the new Mississinawa-Valley Athletic Director as well as the new Blackhawks Head Football Coach. GrifďŹ n a 1996 Greenville graduated played football for Green Wave and coached Greenville youth football for ďŹ ve years before coaching Wave junior high football. â&#x20AC;&#x153;TJ (Powers) at the time was the head coach at Greenville,â&#x20AC;? said GrifďŹ n. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We graduated a couple years apart.â&#x20AC;? GrifďŹ n moved to Greene County where he coached the Fairborn offensive and defensive lines three years while also coaching the JV and freshman teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ended up at Richmond as the run game coordinator and the offensive line coach,â&#x20AC;? said GrifďŹ n of his one year stint in Indiana. With the Red Devils head football coach Eric Gillespie moving on taking the SpringďŹ eld football job, GrifďŹ n â&#x20AC;&#x153;ended upâ&#x20AC;? at National Trail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The head coach was a teacher at Richmond as well. I get a knock on my room one day saying I could use a defensive coordinator,â&#x20AC;? said GrifďŹ n. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ended up moving back over there on the Ohio side. We had a pretty good three year run at National Trail. While there as defensive coordinator we made the playoffs. They had never done that before.â&#x20AC;? GrifďŹ n accepted the defensive coordinator job for MV this past year and now takes over as the head coach for the 2016 season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a lot of off the ďŹ eld positives last year,â&#x20AC;? said GrifďŹ n. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Friday nights werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t where we wanted them to be but we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any kids quit football. We started with 25 and we ended with 25.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids showed up to practice.

Schlater said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;that was one of the key plays in the game. If we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make that they score ďŹ rst and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different ballgame from there.â&#x20AC;? The teams would battle through the ďŹ rst fourinnings with nothing but goose eggs showing on the scoreboard but it was Versailles breaking the deadlock taking advantage of a Collin Peters one-out walk and a Jacob Watren RBI single to right to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jake (Watren) has been working really hard,â&#x20AC;? said Schlater. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gotten the hits heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wanted to so far this year and he came through big in that situation.â&#x20AC;? Both teams went down in order in the sixth-inning bringing the Trojans to the plate trailing 1-0 and heading to the ďŹ nal inning of play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expected to win,â&#x20AC;?

Baker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what good teams do. You come in and expect to win no matter what the situation.â&#x20AC;? Neikamp threw backto-back strikeouts to open the seventh and a lazy ďŹ&#x201A;y ball to right had the Versailles Tigers advancing to the Friday night Ohio High

School Athletic Association district championship game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Very proud of the boys,â&#x20AC;? said Coach Baker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Very proud to coach them. We stuck with it to the ďŹ nal out. We was up in the dugout and we stayed in it. I think we gave them all they wanted.â&#x20AC;?

accountable of the things we asked. They gave 100 percent effort. There just wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite enough of them to sustain effort through games is what it boiled down to.â&#x20AC;? The Hawks graduated seven seniors but GrifďŹ n looks to a class of incoming freshmen and the 2015 freshmen class to make an impact on the 2016 season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some young guys that are stepping up already and trying to be leaders,â&#x20AC;? GrifďŹ n said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had three freshmen play a lot for us last year and we had three others that played some special teams.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be young,â&#x20AC;? added GrifďŹ n. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If this eighth grade class all comes out and plays like they should, if they come out and stay togetherâ&#x20AC;Ś I think they could do something really special by the time of their junior and senior years roll around.â&#x20AC;? GrifďŹ n and wife Christy (Wintrow) started dating when they were neighbors on Gray Avenue in Greenville and are the parents of two sons, Sheldon and Garrett. Coach GrifďŹ n now starts the search for assistant football coaches for the MV football program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are deďŹ nitely looking for coaches,â&#x20AC;? stated GrifďŹ n. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The can contact me though my email. mike_griffin@mississinawa.org

PIQUA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Lady Wave softball team defeated Tippecanoe 8-3 behind the complete game pitching of Allison Minnich. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great gameâ&#x20AC;Śthatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good stuff,â&#x20AC;? said Greenville Coach Jerrod Newland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mayâ&#x20AC;Ś pitching and defense. Just proud of the kids.â&#x20AC;? Greenville fell behind 1-0 before using three consecutive opening singles by Karsyn Shaffer, Ashton Kester and a RBI single off the bat of Cassie Crowell to make it a 1-1 game after one-inning of play. The Lady Wave made it a 2-1 game after three with a two-out Cromwell double and a run scoring Alli Hill single. Sydney Grote drilled a homer landing well beyond the center ďŹ eld fence to give the Lady Wave a 3-1 lead after four. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sid shot that ball to give us the lead,â&#x20AC;? said Newland. Minnich set Tippecanoe down in order in the top of the ďŹ fth for the third inning Minnich would set the Red Devils down in order. Tipp made it a 3-3 game in the top of the sixth with the Lady Wave getting out of the inning with Kester tagging a Red Devils runner between second and third. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just how you respond,â&#x20AC;? Coach Newland stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came outâ&#x20AC;Ś we gave them one in the ďŹ rst and we get one. Then all the sudden, next thing you know its 2-1 after three and 3-1 after ďŹ ve. Then they pop us for twoâ&#x20AC;Ś.3-3 ball game. We respond in

the bottom of the sixth.â&#x20AC;? Greenville plated ďŹ ve runs in the bottom of the sixth to lead 8-3 heading to the ďŹ nal inning of play. Petry got the ďŹ ve-run inning started with a single to left, followed with Grote reaching on a hard hit ball to short. Minnich drilled a 2-RBI double to center giving the Lady Wave go-ahead runs to lead 5-3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Senior (Minnich) coming inâ&#x20AC;Ś just driving the thing to the gap. The ball was a shot. I knew it would burn her (Tipp outďŹ elder),â&#x20AC;? Newland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t batted in three weeks.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve held her back a little bit this year,â&#x20AC;? continued Newland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably mad at me for doing it but bottom line her job is to pitch itâ&#x20AC;Ś keep the ball down so we can win and she did that. Here at tournament time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to let her start hitting since its May.â&#x20AC;? Shaffer drove a two-out single to left and took second on the throw to third putting runners on second and third setting up a Kester 2-run double to center pushing Greenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead to 8-3 with Tipp coming to the plate in the top of the seventh. Minnich with the play of the Lady Wave defense

set the Lady Red Devils down in order in the top of the seventh giving the Lady Wave a convincing tournament win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tipp Cityâ&#x20AC;Ś hats off,â&#x20AC;? said Newland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Played a

great game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any given day anything can happen. The ball doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who is supposed to win and bottom line Greenville gets one today and moves on.â&#x20AC;?

Schlater. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He did what he had to do. He pitched a great game overall.â&#x20AC;? Versailles took the ďŹ eld as the home team and was quickly looking at runners on ďŹ rst and second with one out by way of a game opening Cole Burrell walk and a one-out single off the bat of Conner Pohl. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had opportunities to winâ&#x20AC;Ś just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the key hit,â&#x20AC;? said Arcanum Coach Randy Baker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They got the key hit when they needed it and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the game of baseball. We knew that going into it.â&#x20AC;? A perfectly executed Tigers 6-4-3 double play had the Trojans taking the ďŹ eld in the bottom of the inning with a 0-0 score. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think he (Neikamp) was trying to do a little bit too much to start and not letting his defense work, but you saw today if you let his defense work with that big double play ball,â&#x20AC;?

GREENVILLE – The final Greenville Schools fifth grade band meeting has been scheduled, along with several other great events before the 20162017 school year to get your child playing. They will be holding band instrument “petting zoos” for your students to come to the high school band room and try different instruments before they make their final instrument decision. The next meeting will be May 26, 7-8:30 p.m. Students and parents will be expected to attend and to sign in and provide accurate summer contact information. Information about instrument procurement and rentals

will be forthcoming. If you have an instrument that’s been in the “family” you are also welcome to bring that instrument to either meeting to have it inspected by a staff member or instrument repair technician. At the May 26 event there will be stations set up for your students to try the instruments they can start on in the ﬁfth grade; ﬂute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet, trombone, and percussion. There will be high school band members to demonstrate each of the instruments, including assembly and musical demonstrations. To ensure proper instrumentation in the band program, the number of student

who want to play percussion, ﬂute, and alto saxophone may be limited depending on interest. They will most likely not have any limits on those interested in clarinet, trumpet, or trombone. New for this year is the required Beginning Band “Boot Camp” in the GHS Band Room Aug. 16-18 from 1-3 p.m. During these sessions they will teach your student to assemble their instrument, proper playing posture, and how to produce sound on their instrument. This “Boot Camp” allows for a smooth transition into regular school classes and allows the directors to get to know their new band members.

UNION CITY – From May 23 to June 5, local law enforcement personnel will participate in the national Click It or Ticket campaign in an effort to save lives through increased seat belt use. This enforcement period comes ahead of the Memorial Day holiday, one of the busiest travel weekends of the year. According to research conducted by the National Highway Trafﬁc Safety Administration, while 88.5 percent of passenger vehicle occupants buckled up in 2015, almost 50 percent of occupants of fatal crashes nationwide are not restrained. In some states, the rate is as high as 70 percent unrestrained in fatal crashes. This fact gravely highlights the need for increased enforcement and awareness

of seat belt use. All law enforcement agencies can join the effort to emphasize the “Coast to Coast” effort. “As law enforcement, we have a special role in helping protect the safety of our citizens, from the East to the West Coast,” said Interim Chief Mark Ater of Union City, Ohio Police Department. “Time after time, we see the deadly results that come from drivers and passengers refusing to wear a seat belt. Wearing a seat belt is one of the most important steps in increasing survivability in a crash. Our job is to stop those who are not buckled up, and to keep them from repeating this potentially deadly mistake.” In 2014, nearly half of the 21,022 passenger vehicle

occupants killed in crashes were unrestrained, according to NHTSA. During the nighttime hours of 6 p.m. to 5:59 a.m., that number increased to 57 percent of those killed. Law enforcement agencies will write citations day and night, with a zero tolerance approach. “Hundreds of thousands of citizens will be traveling this Memorial Day weekend, as well as throughout the summer vacation season. We want to make sure that people are buckling up to keep themselves and their families safe. It is the greatest defense in a vehicle crash,” said Ater For more information on the Click It or Ticket campaign, please visit www.nhtsa.gov/ ciot.

Prakel’s WWI uniform comes home VERSAILLES – World War I ended on November 11, 1918 at Versailles, France. Not long after that 25 year old Homer Prakel returned safely back home. This Memorial Day, 97 years, later Homer Prakel’s WWI uniform will come home again to the Versailles Area Museum. This gracious loan has been made possible by their friends at the Garst Museum of Greenville. Prakel continued the family tradition upon his return as his father; August began in kindness in spirit, generous in his church and community, and leadership for the entire community.

Memorial Day at Stelvideo

GREENVILLE – The Stelvideo Memorial Day Service will be held May 29, 1 p.m., at Stelvideo Christian Church. Doug Baker will be the guest speaker, with music provided by the Stelvideo Church band under the direction of David Bloomﬁeld. At 2 p.m., following the service at the church, American Legion Post #140 will conduct a Memorial Service at the Stelvideo Cemetery.

What makes Prakel’s uniform so special is there were no special services at that time. Yet Prakel was sent into Russia as an undercover agent of the United States military. The uniform was tailored in Paris and has many special features, unique to this group. Many Versailles area boys served with distinction as part of the 104 that held reunions annually until their 50th anniversary which incidentally was planned by Prakel who passed away several months before the event and was hosted in Versailles with Clarence Pittsenbarger taking charge. During the next few months, stop by the museum and enjoy this display in their Military Room featuring Civil War to the present military uniforms and other items. They continue to collect unique

CAP picnic celebrates community BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – In honor of Community Action Partnership (CAP) Awareness Month, a picnic sponsored by Darke County’s CAP drew more than 150 people to Greenville City Park on May 13. According to Kim Wilson, director for Darke County CAP, the picnic “is our way to promote community action and thank the community for their support of us.” CAP provides opportunities for individuals and families to lead productive lives through advocacy efforts, education, job training and employment as well as safe and affordable housing.

Oak Grove service set

GREENVILLE – Memorial Day Service at Oak Grove Cemetery will be held at noon on Sunday, May 29. Oak Grove Cemetery is located on SR 121 south of Fort Jefferson. The Memorial Day service will begin with Laroy Farst Post 245 of the New Madison American Legion presenting the colors. The invocation and benediction will be given by Reverend Steve Shoop. Special music and taps will be provided by Julie Lemon. The New Madison Boy Scout Troop #149 will place the Memorial Day wreath. The guest speaker will be Matt Aultman. In case of rain, the service will be held in the Ft. Jefferson United Methodist Church. Join them in paying tribute to those who have served and are serving our great nation, and pay respect to many loved ones.

The event included a hot dog picnic lunch with food and supplies donated by local businesses, as well as a variety of door prizes, also locally donated, Wilson said. “It took us about a week to call and get donations.
