Ohio State Fair

The 2020 Ohio State Fair has been cancelled due to public safety concerns.

Organizers expressed hope that the event will return in 2021.

COLUMBUS — Sure to be a disappointment to fairgoers, the Ohio Expositions Commissions announced Thursday it will cancel the 2020 Ohio State Fair.

The event was originally scheduled for July 29 to August 9 in Columbus. In a press release, the commission said its decision to

“The financial ramifications of hosting a reduced-capacity Fair would be too great, and we need to protect the great Ohio State Fair for future generations.”

“Our first priority is the safety of the hundreds of thousands of people involved in the Ohio State Fair each year,” said Virgil Strickler, general manager of the Ohio

“After careful thought and deliberation, we have decided to cancel the Ohio State Fair. Knowing how easily the virus spreads in large groups, we believe it is the safest path forward for the

“I just love taking care of people, I’m a people person,” she said. “I like people to feel at home and I like taking care of my community, our family and friends. I love what I do.”

Asked if she was surprised by the award, Smith said “Very surprised. It was a wonderful surprise. It’s very special, very meaningful.”

DARKE COUNTY — Darke County Economic Development has announced its “20 Under 20” award winners for 2020.

The 20 Under 20 Awards were developed to recognize students, educators, and businesses collaborating to help prepare the next generation of workers in our region. The 20 winners must be under the age of 20 and residents in Darke, Mercer, or Auglaize counties.

They must also be involved in part-time employment, internships, co-op programs, mentoring, entrepreneurship or other business/education partnerships while in high school, post-secondary or adult education/training programs.

“2020 is the fifth year for the awards to recognize these business/education partnerships which are so important to addressing our region’s future workforce needs,” said Darke County Economic Development Workforce Specialist Tamala Marley.

This year’s Coronavirus pandemic, however, put a crimp in the organization’s normal plans to honor the awardees.

“We typically celebrate during a spring banquet with a hundred or more people present, but with the current situation, that is was not possible this year,” said Marley. “All three members of

NEW MADISON — In 2003, when New Madison went to a city sewage system instead of septic system, it meant everybody in town had to hook up to the new community-size system.

The share of the cost to the New Madison American Legion was $3,500.

“That was a big expenditure for a club like ours,” said Pat Hoover, wife of Harold “Skip” Hoover, who was commander at the time.

Their friend, Bill Burkett, heard of a project and told the Hoovers about it and they, in turn, asked the members about it and they “jumped on it.”

He suggested they sell ceiling tiles to help them pay for the project.

So, they began selling the tiles for $25 for individuals and $40 for commercial businesses, and eventually had enough to cover the hall as well as the kitchen, not to mention paying off the $3,500 debt for the sewage system.

“We even had enough money left over to pave our parking lot,” Pat said. “We made approximately $5,000.”

Some people even picked out where they wanted their tile located. One man always sat at a certain seat at the bar and wanted his name above where he sat. A couple of men who worked at the chicken fries asked that their tiles be placed overhead in the kitchen where they worked.

“They are just regular ceiling tiles,” Pat said. “They gave me a list of names and I would write whatever each purchaser wanted on their tile. Most of them just wanted the name, rank and branch of service.

But, they could put something else on it up to four lines. Some even put on there if they were a past commander and such.”

She said the post’s namesake is Laroy Farst and his tile has extra color on it.

The oldest tile in there was purchased for a man who served in World War I. “His last name was Pease and I put that he was a See TILES | 2A

Charger Reverse Raffle raises over $13K PIQUA — Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Charger Athletic Reverse Raffle event was converted to a remote drawing, replacing the traditional in-person event. And while the raffle looked much different this year, one fact remained evident: Charger fans’ unwavering support of Edison State Community College athletics.

This year, the event raised $13,900 through ticket sales alone. More than $12,000 in prize money was awarded to winning ticket holders, including the $10,000 grand prize winner, Douglas Martin of Anna.

“The money we raise through this event helps to offset many of the costs that our athletic teams incur throughout the year. It also provides

a lot of opportunities that our student-athletes may not normally have, such as traveling to and participating in postseason tournaments,” said Nate Cole, Edison State Athletic Director.

Originally known as the Charger 300, the Charger Athletics Reverse Raffle began in 2010 to provide funding for postseason play and to offset expenses beyond the Edison State Athletics budget.

The need for an annual fundraiser for the athletic department grew from the postseason success of Charger teams winning National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Region XII titles, District G titles, and moving on to compete at the NJCAA Division III Final Four.

“This event has become more and more popular each year and this year was no exception, even with COVID-19. We had a tremendous outpouring of support from people in the community and right here at Edison State and we can’t thank them enough for making the event successful,” said Cole.

“I look forward to seeing my fellow Ohioans at the 2021 Ohio State Fair, when it is safer for us to enjoy our favorite traditions together,” he added.

I feel a meltdown was close at hand I feel like Jamie and I have handled the pandemic well as could be expected.

However, Friday, May 15, was sort of a meltdown day for me. Everything that could have gone wrong happened.

There were a series of things that wore on my nerves.

My computer has been acting crazy for a while and I get shook up when I am trying to get things done. I like to work fast and the things it was doing slowed me down. It still does it somewhat but I’m perservering.

Then that same day, I was informed that co-worker Beth Royer-DeLong was leaving the staff. I am happy for her but going to miss our daily chitchats while we are each working out of our homes. She did a lot and did a great job for the newspaper before and after this pandemic set in. I wish her luck in the future.

The final straw of the day was realizing in the morning that Jamie only had two pills left in one of his seizure medications, so I called the pharmacy.

I even went in there at one point and they said it had not been ordered by the doctor yet. I panicked.

This was a Friday; the pharmacy isn’t open on Saturdays now; and we’d have to wait until Monday to get that medication. A call to the doctor’s office indicated he had not had time yet to get the order filled out because he was busy seeing patients. I don’t remember much of what happened or what I said to anybody, but I was ready to give up. Then, I was bound and determined I would go in there and like I said to the person on the phone, “I am going to camp out there until I get them” knowing they closed at 5 p.m. I went in, and by 4:20, the medications were delivered to me in the car.

Klosterman signs with Otterbein

By Gaylen Blosser DarkeCountyMedia.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville’s Emma Klosterman recently signed with the Otterbein University Lady Cardinals track and field program.

“Because of Covid-19 and not being able to have my senior year of track, I am really excited to go to college and compete in track there,” said Klosterman. “I am very passionate about track so I would like to continue my career and compete at the college level.”

“Emma will do great,” said Greenville track and field coach, Bill Plessinger.

“Emma is a tremendous track athlete. She would fit in where ever she would go.”

“Her signing was so anticlimactic,” Plessinger continued. “She had worked so hard for so many years to get to this point and then did not have that opportunity. It was heart wrenching for both of us. It is just so sad for the seniors not getting the opportuni-

ties we worked so hard for.

Seniors are peaking and it is so sad she never got the opportunity.”

Klosterman, the daughter of Shelly and Rob Klosterman plans to study Nursing while continuing her track and field career at the Westerville, Ohio school.

The 5’9” Lady Wave senior holds two Greenville track and field records following her junior season and was a certain bet to earn a third high school record her senior year, a year that was scrapped due to the Coronavirus epidemic.

“My senior year I was getting really close to breaking the high jump record,” Klosterman noted.

“I was so close. I was really hoping to get that high jump record my senior year but because we didn’t have a senior year it kind of went away.”

“Emma has a freaky ability to jump and that is why she has the long jump record, the triple jump record and probably would have earned the high

jump record this year,” said Plessinger. “She is a good runner, a good jumper.”

“There is no doubt in my mind that she would have broken the high jump record this year. We were working in the gym and Emma was just soaring.

She was just picking it up and that was practicing on that back gym floor which is a horrible floor to jump on. There is no doubt that she would have gone 5’6” to 5’7” this year – I just know she would have.”

“Emma would have gone to state,” Plessinger added.

“I think she would have podiumed – I don’t think there is any doubt.”

Klosterman chose the D-III Lady Cardinals over larger programs to focus on her studies while continuing her sport.

“I chose otterbein because I knew I didn’t want a big school,” Klosterman stated. “Otterbein is a D-III school and I am going into nursing and nursing can be very hard.

I believe attending a D-III school and competing in

track would be very good for me. D-I schools can very hard on you competing in sports so with a D-III I school I can really focus on my education.”

“Emma was very particular about what she wants to major in and though she had some scholarship opportunities with more money other places, Otterbein was the place that she felt comfortable with,” said Plessinger. “She wants to be a nurse and they have a good nursing program so I think she will do fantastic.”

“Whatever college was going to get her was lucky,” continued Coach Plessinger. “Otterbein will be a good fit, she will have success at Otterbein because it is D-III, a notch below D-I but I don’t think there is any doubt she could have competed at the D-I level also. I believe Emma is a Division-I athlete that a Division-III school is getting,” Klosterman looked at the University of Dayton, the University of Findlay,

Ohio Northern University as well as other colleges before deciding on Otterbein.

“I looked at a lot of colleges but I feel like Otterbein was my best pick for many reasons,” said Klosterman.” I have visited with the coaches and did a whole tour of Otterbein so I have got to know them pretty well which made me feel good about going to there.”

Klosterman believes Otterbein will use her primarily in the high jump, long jump and the triple

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Girls Softball Association (GGSA) Board of Officers voted unanimously to open the summer leagues to surrounding communities and organizations along with our local Greenville community.

“We received the guidelines from the state,” said GGSA President, Eric Fellers. “As a group we decided that it was in the best interest of all the parties that we try to get these kids out and play some softball this summer.”

With many organizations cancelling their seasons, GGSA noted there is a need for young ladies that would like to play softball this summer who may not be able to do so because of cancellations.

“Obviously we want to follow the guidelines that are put in place to the best of our abilities,” Fellers noted. “It’s good for people

the health and well-being of our young people, not just in Greenville but also friends in the softball community that have reached out to the association.

“We had talked to a couple of different organizations,” Fellers said. “We play in the Cross County League for our summer fastpitch. The majority of those towns have closed or cancelled for the season.

“I like the jumps more and not as much running,” said Klosterman, “so that is what I am planning on doing.”

“I would like to thank my coaches; Coach P (Bill Plessinger), Coach Stephanie Lind and Coach Jennifer Stevens,” Klosterman concluded. “My parents really helped me through this and my grandparents always went to my meets.”

attraction and fundraiser at tournament time across the nation for sporting events.

“We thought about that this weekend,” Fellers said.

“That is kind of in the works. We all know that Coach Jerrod Newland loves his T-shirts so maybe we can come up with a couple good t-shirts and put them out there and let the kids enjoy them for the year.”

The Board of Officers

voted to not hold the yearly fundraiser drive this season. Instead GGSA will be using a “pay to play” option this year which is a one-time $50.00 fee. The fee will be collected at the concession stand during the month of June.

New to Stebbins Field for 2020 is the addition of two new softball fields that will be completed in the next two weeks giving more room for social distancing.

“We should be able to use the two new diamonds,” Fellers explained. “We should be able to space some things out that way too. Possibly we may not use all four diamonds up front, we may be able to spread them out to where we’re only using a couple up front and a couple out back. It just depends on

how many kids we get and how many teams we have.”

As with so many organizations and businesses, the Coronavirus is having a negative financial impact in 2020.

“It is going to be difficult,” Fellers stated. “We made the decesion not to do our yearly fundraisers that we normally do just for the simple fact that it’s easier to soscial distance if we don’t do it that way.

That is going to be a little bit of a hit financially.

Hopefully we can have our tournament that we have coming up that is fairly large so that we can bring in some money that way but if people are interested in helping out, financial donations are greatly appreciated. They can get ahold of me or other officers and we can talk to

a win-win for everybody,” added Fellers.

“We have a great board, not only our board but we have a good group of people that help support us,” Fellers concluded. “I appreciate all the work that people have done this year to get ready and a pre-thankyou for the work that they are going to put in the next couple of weeks to get all of this organized. It will be kind of hectic but it will be good in the long run.”

VERSAILLES — The Versailles FFA annually hosts a day at the farm for grades Kindergarten to 2nd grade from Versailles Elementary and schools from Ansonia, Russia, Franklin Monroe, Bradford, Covington, and Holy Angels.

The purpose of this day is to teach children about agriculture and where their food comes from. Due to the Coronavirus, the FFA was not able to bring the kids out to a farm but still wanted to pass on the tradition and teach about agriculture so the Versailles FFA composed a Farm Day presentation that consisted of FFA members sharing their farm and Supervised Agriculture Experience project on video and activity sheets that went along with the video.

The video and activities were shared with all the schools that were supposed to participate in Farm Day. Versailles FFA members that typed videos and shared

The organization awards an ‘A’ grade only to those hospitals who exemplify the highest levels of patient safety.

“We hope this ‘A’ helps to thank the people who work and volunteer for Wayne HealthCare. They are role models in putting patients first, and their service has been extraordinary in our country’s time of need,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group.

“As the nation copes with a challenging pandemic, our gratitude extends to hospital leadership and health care

workers everywhere for their tremendous dedication.”

“It’s been said that during times of crisis you really see the mettle of a person, “said Wayne Deschambeau, President and CEO of Wayne HealthCare. “I can say that before the COVID-19 pandemic and during it, everyone – from our doctors, nurses, other providers to staff and our unsung heroes, those employees in housekeeping and maintenance who keep our hospital running — always put the patient first; it’s because of our employees

2020 Miss Chick Pageant registration now open VERSAILLES — Versailles Poultry Days, Inc. is pleased to announce we are now accepting applications for the 2020 Miss Chick Pageant. The contest, sponsored by Versailles Savings and Loan and Versailles Poultry Days, Inc., will take place August 14 and 15, 2020 beginning with personal interviews at noon on Friday the 14th and the onstage interview beginning at 2 p.m. on Saturday the 15th in the old VHS High School Gymnasium located at 459 S. Center Street in Versailles. Poultry Days will be following all local and state guidelines as it relates to the health and safety of our guests. Plans are being made to modify the event for the safety of contestants and the audience.

After 69 years of celebrating vibrant, dynamic young women as part of the Poultry Days Festival, the Miss Chick pageant has earned its place as a rich community tradition. Members of the Miss Chick court promote the festival throughout their reign acting as ambassadors to the Ultimate Frisbee community that participates in the tournament held in conjunction with the festival and at several other local festivals.

The court also participates in philanthropic events that raise funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the Wounded Warrior Project, and/or conducts events like Confident Chicks Night; a program created to inspire and uplift young women.

In addition to the honor of representing Poultry Days during their reign, the chosen Miss Chick will receive flowers, a plaque, crown and $1,000; First Runner-up will receive flowers, a plaque, and $400; and Second Runner-up will receive flowers, a plaque, and $200.

Contestants must be females 16 years of age by the day of the contest, and no older than 19 years of age (Limited to graduating high school seniors of the class of 2020.) Contestants must reside in Darke County and contiguous counties (Miami, Mercer, Montgomery, Shelby, Auglaize, Preble, Jay, Randolph and Wayne) Sponsors can be any high school organization See PAGEANT | 2B

DAYTON — Rachel Stewart Castle is the 2020 National Captivating Ambassador Queen. Her platform was promoting positive community connections.

Why did she choose to compete in the pageant?

“Captivating Pageants is a very unique system, and there are so many attributes I love about the program,” Castle said in a magazine interview.

“As a plus-size model and competitor, unfortunately, I am not welcome in all pageant systems, due to my body shape. That is not the case with Captivating.

We welcome all women…., and we mean ALL women.

Captivating’s motto is ‘Be you, be different, be Captivating.’ Our passion is recognizing and celebrating everyone for who they are, and we encourage all women to express that by being their best and most unique selves throughout our phases of competition: Personal interview, fitness wear, fashion wear, evening wear, and on-stage question. We truly want to see the real essence of each individual person throughout the pageant weekend, and in their social media promotions. I felt at home at Captivating, had a great time, and made many new friends.”

“She was born and raised in Arcanum,” said her mother, Annette Stewart.

“She has an amazing platform about working women in a man’s world.”

They are part of a select group of students who were able to make these adjustments amidst the other social and economic upheavals happening at the same time.”

The faculty and staff of Edison State have similarly overcome challenges through this time and with much disappointment, giving up necessary in-person contact with students only to communicate digitally through email, Blackboard, or conference calls. While it may not seem as rewarding, it is important to know that they can be agile in their response to unlikely scenarios such as these, still making it possible for students to work toward their goals and achieve their dreams.

As the college’s namesake, Thomas Alva Edison once stated, “The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense.”

If there is anything the Edison State Community College Class of 2020 has proven, it is that they can achieve anything worthwhile, including a college degree in the midst of a pandemic.

Brainly announces Online Educator of the Year awards PHOENIX, ARIZONA — The coronavirus pandemic has forced students and educators to adapt, essentially overnight, to the new reality of distance learning and instruction from afar.

Teachers are facing the Herculean challenge of creating engaging, interactive online lesson plans, motivating kids to stay focused, and ensuring every student receives the help they need.

In response to their efforts, Brainly, the world’s largest online learning community of students and parents, has launched the Online Educator of the Year Award to recognize and honor educators who have enacted

inclusive solutions for students to finish out the school year at home.

The scholarship is in partnership with DonorsChoose, Codecademy, and ClassTag. Now through May 8th, current U.S. middle school and high school students (ages 13 and up) can nominate and vote for their favorite educators three categories: Academic Teachers, Administrators, and Extracurricular Instructors.

The winning educators will each receive $1,000 towards classroom resources through their partners at DonorsChoose, as well as a featured post on Brainly.com and a one-

year Brainly Plus subscription. All students have to do to nominate a teacher is write a four to five sentence response to the question: “How has an educator been exceptional in your transition to remote learning?”

As an added incentive, the students who nominate the winning educators will also receive a Samsung Galaxy Tablet, a Codecademy Pro student scholarship, and a one-year Brainly Plus subscription.

For more information about Brainly’s Online Educator of the Year Award and details on how to nominate and vote for an educator, visit https:// brainly.com/educator.

DCCA announces early end to 2019-2020 season DARKE COUNTY — Darke County Center for the Arts 2019-2020 season has come to an early end due to ramifications from the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition to earlier cancelations of the planned presentation at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall of Bay Area Children’s Theatre Llama Llama Live on March 2 to close DCCA’s Family Theatre Series and the April 18 Artists Series

show by rock supergroup “The Hit Men,” the highly anticipated concert by Toledo Symphony Orchestra on Saturday, May 30 has also been canceled.

Additionally, DCCA’s Coffeehouse Series was prematurely concluded due to restrictions necessitated by health concerns, forcing the cancellation of planned shows by singer/songwriter Luke McMaster at the Coffee Pot on March 25

and eclectic fiddler Doug Hamilton at Montage on April 30.

“I am saddened by the abrupt end to our season, but greatly appreciate the measures taken to protect the health and safety of our patrons. DCCA is working on adapting plans for the 2020-2021 season, and looks forward to seeing everyone at future DCCA events,” stated DCCA Executive Director

Andrea Jordan. She went on to say that if you are a ticketholder to one of the canceled events, you can request a refund by using the form on DCCA’s Website www.DarkeCountyArts.org; all tickets purchased through E-Tix with a credit or debit card will be refunded automatically.

If you choose to donate the ticket amount back to DCCA, helping to keep the local arts organization

stable and healthy during this trying time, contact DCCA to request a letter documenting your donation for tax purposes.

Although concrete plans are in place for a full slate of events during the upcoming season, many unknowns still exist impacting how DCCA officials can proceed with those plans. More information will be forthcoming soon concerning season

ticket sales as well as about popular fund-raising events. Membership donations supporting the organization during this difficult time can be made by visiting DCCA’s Website or forwarding your contribution to DCCA at P.O. Box 718, Greenville, OH 45331-0718. DCCA’s office, located on the third floor of Greenville Public Library, is currently closed, as is the Library.

Zehringer named 2020 Distinguished Senior at Ohio State University who felt that she personified the award’s attributes of academic, disciplinary, and professional excellence.

“One of the hallmarks of our college is an emphasis on student success, and it is heartwarming to see it exemplified through the accomplishments of our students,” Neal said.

“Recipients are our future innovators and leaders who have already made an impact within the academic environment at this university and beyond.”

To Zehringer, perseverance is more than just a word; it’s a way of life.

After having her first child at age 17, she moved from one dead-end job

already completed to another, finally an associate degree making her way to from Ivy Tech ColOhio State. “Amber lege in Kokomo, had many goals, Indiana, while workwhich fluctuated ing full time and from going to school attending school and becoming a part time.

We are so tinue her education, on a pleased that she found her lark, she decided to see if way to us in the Departshe could get admitted to ment of Food Science and Ohio State. To her surprise, Technology,” said Mary Kay Pohlschneider, a senior she was accepted, and she decided to major in human lecturer and the person resources. Soon after her who nominated Zehringer arrival on campus and after for the award. taking a few food science Zehringer, a nontradiand technology classes, she tional student, was older than the average incoming refocused her educational freshman when she started goals to include her love of food and food safety. “It’s at Ohio State. She had

Amber’s various experiences that have made her so focused and determined to succeed in her educational and future career goals,” said Pohlschneider. “We have no doubt that she will make a positive impact in her community and on the food industry.”

Zehringer appeared on the Dean’s List and received several honors and scholarships. She was inducted into the National Society of Leadership and the Phi Sigma Theta Honors Society. She received a Staples Scholarship for Critical Difference for Women; the Critical Difference for Women Re-Entry Scholarship; the President’s Affordability Grant; a Scarlet and Gray Grant; an Altrusa Critical Difference for Women Scholarship from Dublin Women’s Club; and the Soroptimist International Jennings Memorial Fund. According to Zehringer, her most valuable learning experience has been that, “with patience and practice, I can accomplish anything I set my mind to. Returning to school and especially to a large university like OSU,

I was intimidated because of my age and lack of any personal connection to anyone in the university setting. I was not only able to set up a support system within the community, but I have met many traditional and nontraditional students that have had the same fears as I had.” Upon graduation, Zehringer will work toward being credentialed by the National Environmental Health Association. Her goal is to work in public health as an environmental health specialist or as a sanitarian, working to ensure the health and safety of the public in the food service industry.

An awards dinner to recognize all 25 CFAES Distinguished Seniors has been canceled due to COVID-19. “The safety of our community is our top priority,” Neal said.

“We are deeply sorry the planned celebration will not occur. The commitment and dedication of these students to their undergraduate education will still be recognized with a special award package that will be mailed later this semester.”

Greenville Early Bird

As owners of Spirit Medical Transport, LLC, we want to take the time to say thank you to all the EMS professionals on the frontline of the COVID-19 crisis – planning, adapting, and responding every day to take care of their citizens and communities.

SPOTLIGHT brought to you by Spirit Medical

In our profession, we take pride in always being ready. Ready to go at any time. Ready to help whoever needs us. Ready to face whatever situation awaits us on scene. At the beginning of a new decade, we are also preparing for a future that may look different than our present.

2020 presents a chance for us to use the lessons of the past to focus our sights on the future.

The theme of National EMS Week is EMS Strong: Ready Today.

Preparing for Tomorrow.

This theme, which was developed some time ago, is particularly meaningful as we see the EMS community rallying today to support the COVID-19 crisis, while still responding to the everyday emergencies and routine transfers and transports that are happening locally. We are forever grateful not only to those who stayed home and have fought the crisis, but to our fourteen other employees who recently returned from the epicenter of COVID-19 in New York and New Jersey. These employees spent weeks away from their families to assist their EMS brothers and sisters working the COVID-19 pandemic.

It also seeks to recognize the selfless calling that makes EMS so vital.

Still, now more than ever, it is important to remember that a major component of EMS Week is honoring and celebrating our EMS professionals who are supporting the health and well-being of the community we call home.

Spirit Medical Transport, LLC, is a growing company who seeks to add additional EMS personnel in 2020 to our growing family of professionals. We invite the community to checkout our website or give us a call to learn more about how to apply for our EMT scholarship program. This unique opportunity allows you to earn while you learn, ultimately becoming a vital part of the frontline heroes serving your friends and neighbors in the community you call home.

Thank you, Spirit Medical Transport, LLC, employees for all you have done and continue to do for the betterment of our community.

You are truly the front-line heroes that we are so blessed to have as a part of the Spirit Medical Transport, LLC, family of professionals.

God Bless each of you, Brian K. Hathaway President/CEO Aaron L. Guthrie Vice President
