Union City, Indiana mayor calls out Winchester PD SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY, IND. – You’d better buckle up if you plan on driving in Indiana. The state is currently participating in an Operation Pullover designed to ticket those not wearing a seat belt. Although Union City, Ind. Mayor Bryan Conklin says he “truly believes in seatbelts,” he’s not too happy some of his constituents are being pulled over by Winchester police ofﬁcers. “I

called their mayor and asked him to have them leave,” Conklin said. Conklin said he also put out a ‘traffic alert’ on his personal Facebook page, alerting Union City drivers to what was taking place. According to Conklin, local police jurisdictions can opt out of a state blitz to pull people over for specific traffic checks or violations. “We don’t do that,” Conklin said of the seat belt Operation Pullover. “We’re always looking for it (not weari n g seat belts), but we aren’t offering incentives to our officers.” Conklin said other police jurisdictions may offer incentives to off-duty officers – who are wearing

their uniforms and using police cruisers – for ticketing those who are not complying with the seat belt law. Once a sworn police officer in Indiana, you are allowed to make traffic stops/arrests in any jurisdiction – which made it legal for Winchester cops to patrol inside Union City and begin to hand out the $25 seat belt violations. “It won’t go on your record,” Conklin said. “It’s an inconvenience.” Conklin believes police officers should be provided with ways to gain more public respect, and he doesn’t think randomly pulling over drivers not buckled up is the way to go about it. “I witnessed a young mother pulling out of McDonald’s. She had two or three kids in the car and one was in a ball uniform. They were obviously on their way to a game and she hadn’t had a chance to buckle up yet. An officer pulled her over.”

Conklin also said a few of the city’s high school seniors who were volunteering last week to help mulch and clean up the downtown area were pulled over by sheriff’s deputies when they moved their vehicles a few parking spots down the block. “They were using their own vehicles,” he said, “giving back to their community. Those are the kinds of things I find disturbing.” Conklin said he is OK with the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office or the Indiana State Highway Patrol participating in Operation Pullover within city limits. “And I wouldn’t have a problem with Winchester police officers doing it up to the city limits,” of Union City, he said. “But our highest speed limit in the city is 30 mph,” he explained, noting he realizes accidents can still happen at that speed, but severe injuries aren’t as likely. “There are those who

say you can find someone who’s wanted on an outstanding w a r rant, o r y o u may f i n d drugs,” in the car when a person is pulled over for seat belt violations. “I haven’t seen the statistics for that.” In Ohio, Conklin explained, law enforcement rarely stop drivers not buckled up. “You have to have another (traffic) violation in order to get a seatbelt violation,” he said. According to Winchester Mayor Shon Byrum, there was one new officer from his police department who was in Union City to participate in the Operation Pullover on Thursday, May 18. Byrum said the new officer started working with Winchester Police in January and “didn’t get the memo” about staying out

of Union City. “It was one officer trying to make extra money.” Also according to Byrum, when Winchester officers were in Union City for the seat belt pullover last year, Conklin at that time called and asked for them to pull out. “I respect Mayor Conklin’s desire not to participate,” Byrum said, noting that Winchester officers do fully participate in all of Indiana’s Operation Pullover programs. The Indiana Operation Pullover for seat belt violations will last through June 4, Conklin said. The blitz schedule for Indiana may be found at www.in.gov.

GREENVILLE – “Let’s get the party started,” said Ken Hossler, Plant Lead for the Greenville Whirlpool factory, as they celebrated the official opening of the new $17 million expansion of its Greenville Ohio Factory Distribution Center (FDC). The expansion nearly doubles the size of the previous facility. The FDC is now 650,000 square feet and allows the company to consolidate its three off-site warehouses with its onsite distribution center. In August 2016, ground was broken on the expansion project and many people felt it couldn’t be completed in nine months. Directing his comments to the distinguished guests in attendance, Hossler said, “Many of you whispered in my ear, ‘There’s no way you will get that done by May. There’s no way.’” He noted it couldn’t have been done without the entire team, including corporate, JobsOhio, local and state government officials and the Greenville Whirlpool team. Hossler believe the new FDC will equip his team to face challenges in a timely manner. Having off-site warehouses made it difficult to fill orders quickly. Jim Keppler, vice-president of integrated supply chain quality for Whirl-

Holding the scissors to cut the ribbon on the expanded factory distribution center are Steve Thornton (left) and Michael Treadway (right). Thornton has been with the company for 42 years and Treadway has been part of the team for 39 years. They are joined by local and state leaders as well as the Whirlpool team.

pool, believes this facility will help the company keep its promises. Keppler said, “Within in the supply chain organization we have a mantra that’s simply, ‘Deliver the Promise.’” With the company working out of several locations Keppler felt they were not working to their full potential to keep their promise. “It is going to be an efﬁcient operation and this space will help use keep a promise to our customers in a much more efﬁcient way.” According to Marlana McClain, senior distribution leader, her team agrees with Keppler and Hossler. She recalled the day she accepted the position at the Greenville plant was the same day

they broke ground on the expansion. When preparing for the ribbon cutting she talked to her team and they expressed what an expanded FDC means to them. The team is looking forward to having the entire inventory under one roof coupled with new creative storage designs and equipment they will be able to work with better efﬁciency. Greenville Mayor Steve Willman spoke to the Whirlpool team and congratulated them on the new facility. Sandra Brasington, of Governor Kasich’s ofﬁce, presented a proclamation from the governor. Currently, Whirlpool Corporation has approximately 10,000 workers

across its ﬁve manufacturing plants in Ohio. The company is continuing to invest in the workforce in Ohio, through initiatives such as the 2016 Manufacturing Day celebrations which saw the company invite hundreds local high schoolers into the plant to learn more about the career opportunities there. This expansion reinforces Greenville as the global hub of the company’s small appliances business. The FDC exports to regions throughout the world. Greenville Operations manufactures stand mixers, stand mixer attachments and accessories, hand mixers, blenders, aerated beverage machines and cutlery blocks under the KitchenAid brand.

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT

Students caught with drugs at Greenville High School Drugs

On May 5 the Greenville High School Resource Officer was asked to come to the high school office in response to a student, Travis Royer, 18, who had an Altoids container containing half a white pill along with a capsule containing a chunky substance. There also was a razor blade and a straw inside the container. Royer told the SRO the white pill was a Vicodin and the chunky substance inside the capsule was part of the pill. Royer told the officer he

had a headache a couple days earlier and someone had given him the pill. According to the report, when the ofﬁcer said people with headaches normally just swallow a pill instead of shaving some off, Royer had nothing to say. He eventually admitted to snorting the pill. The ofﬁcer determined the pill was a prescription for acetaminophen/ hydrocodone, a schedule II narcotic, available only by prescription. The medication was taken and sent to the crime lab to be properly iden-

On May 20 an officer performed a traffic stop in the 700 Block of Rhoades Avenue, which led to a OVI arrest. Upon coming in contact with the driver, Ronald Stine Jr., the officer noticed a strong odor of alcohol coming from Stine when he spoke. Stine had slurred speech and admitted to having a couple beers. The officer asked Stine for his driver’s license. He attempted to search for it, but would become confused and forget what he was doing. Stine asked the officer if he could exit the vehicle and then look for the license. The officer permitted him to get out of the car. He again started searching for his license and handed the officer a cell phone and a credit card instead. After

several attempts to locate the license he was unable to do so. The officer asked Stine to perform field sobriety testing, which he performed poorly. He was transported to the Greenville Police Department, where he refused to perform a breath test. At that time, his driver’s license was confiscated and he was placed under an administrative license suspension and issued a citation for OVI and left of center. He was released to a friend.

Investigation continues after toddler suffers burns at bonfire DARKE COUNTY – A 2-year-old boy suffered severe facial burns while at a bonfire Sunday evening. At 10:48 p.m. Darke County Deputies, along with Union City Fire, Union City Rescue and CareFlight were dispatched to 8278 Kniseley Road in reference to a child that had burn injuries. Investigation revealed, Noah Elleman (20) of Greenville was having a bonfire at his residence. While in the process of starting the fire, Joseph Martino (20) of Greenville began pouring gasoline on the fire. The fire quickly spread to the container that Martino was holding which caused Martino to turn

and attempt to throw the container away. As Martino turned around, he tripped over a two year old male child causing him to spill the gasoline onto the child. The gasoline quickly ignited on the child causing burns to the face and hands. Mr. Elleman was able to put the fire out before fire and medic crews arrived. The child was transported to the Darke County Sheriff’s Office by Union City Rescue where they met CareFlight, which then transported the child to Dayton Children’s Hospital where he is listed in good condition. This incident remains under investigation by the Darke County Sheriff’s Office.

DCP wants Spencer property BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com DARKE COUNTY – The Darke County Commission on Monday voiced their approval for Roger VanFrank, county parks director, to continue with the process of applying for a $200,000 Clean Ohio Greenspace Conservation Grant. The money will be used to purchase and develop an approximately threeacre tract of land on Ohio Street – the former Spencer Landscaping location, VanFrank said.

NMPL book sale planned

NEW MADISON – The Friends of New Madison Public Library will hold an unscheduled Book Sale beginning May 31 and ending June 5. They are overstocked with mysteries, Christian romances, children’s picture books, and much more. Stop by to browse. As always, all donations will be used by the Friends of the Library to enhance the library’s programming and facility. You can become a Friend of NMPL for $2 a year. If you are interested, call Brenda at (937) 9961741.

“We’re just asking for your support, no money,” VanFrank told commissioners, explaining Greenville Mayor Steve Willman also would be providing a letter of support. The letters will be included in the grant application packet, VanFrank said, and will provide added value to the application. “This addition to our parks system through the proposed educational/interpretive center and trail hub would provide a vital piece of our economic development strategies for the county,” Commissioners Mike Rhoades, Mike Stegall and Matt Aultman stated in their letter of support. The county park district plans to connect the threeacre tract to the Alice Bish Park and walking trail, which lies along Greenville Creek at 4th Street. “We’re excited about the acquisition,” VanFrank said, explaining the new park land would tie in with the city’s new bike path and act as a trailhead for canoeing as well as biking. Opportunities to work with the new Greenville K-8th grade school will increase, since the school will be within walking distance of the new park, said VanFrank, who also men-

tioned the park district had no plans to tear down the existing building on the site, but would be incorporating the structure into future plans for the park’s interpretive center. “We’re looking at keeping this a very green property,” VanFrank told commission. “The price has been reduced substantially in working with owners of the property.” VanFrank said the proposed park is a “two to three year project.”

ON YOUR MIND

READERS WRITE Thank You for TNR I am Ron Asman and I live on West Water Street. I would like to say thanks to the City of Greenville and the Darke County Humane Society for their Trap, Neuter and Return program. I did not know there was such a program until my neighbors and I noticed quite a number of feral cats running around our homes. We were not for sure how to deal with the situation and I contacted The Humane Society for help. They told me about the TNR program and how to participate in it. We have trapped four female cats and two toms so far. We also saw two more toms and a female cat with three kittens we are hoping to catch in the near future. The TNR program is a free to the public service that will Trap, Neuter and

Return, the cat to the location they were trapped, with no charge to the public. One of the tips of a cat’s ear is removed to show it has been neutered. The cost of the program is shared between the City of Greenville and the Darke County Humane Society. There are several other communities in the county that have partnered with the Humane Society to offer the TNR program to their residence. Contact the Humane Society to participate in the TNR program. I again thank the City of Greenville and the Humane Society for this service and encourage people to contribute to the Humane Society, so they can continue to offer and expand this program throughout the county.

Protecting officers from opioid contact Huffman announces run for Ohio Senate WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) recently wrote to the Department of Justice (DOJ) urging the agency to speed up the distribution of federal funding for the Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Grant Program, which provides funding to police departments to train first-responders as they deal with opioid related incidents. The program was created as part of the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA), which Brown supported. Brown’s letter follows an Ohio police officer’s accidental overdose after coming into contact with the deadly synthetic opioid fentanyl in the field. “Keeping our police officers safe and unharmed is a top priority for Congress, as we know it is for the Department of Justice. As threats to our officers’ safety evolve, so must our responsibility to guard against those threats. Congress, through creating the COAG program, has recognized the necessity of providing funding to our local law enforcement teams who are confronting the opioid crisis. We strongly urge your office to move as swiftly as possible in making sure that this funding gets to the communities that need it most in Ohio and across the country,” Brown wrote in the letter. Earlier this month, Brown announced more than $160 million in federal resources to combat the opioid crisis in states like Ohio that have been hardest hit by the epidemic as part of the government funding package agreed to in April. In April, Brown announced that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released $26 million in grant funding to Ohio to bolster efforts to combat the opioid epidemic after he joined Senate colleagues in a letter to President Trump calling

for the release of critical resources that have been designated to address the nation’s opioid epidemic. Brown urged Governor George “Sonny” Perdue, President Trump’s nominee to serve as the Secretary of U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), to continue USDA’s efforts to fight the opioid epidemic in Ohio communities. USDA has helped in the fight against opioids through its Rural Development grant programs, like the Community Facilities Program—which helps rural communities expand local resources like medical facilities and public safety services. Brown also supported a strong Rural Development title in the 2014 Farm Bill to provide economic support to rural communities. Brown also worked with his colleagues Sens. Ed Markey (D-MA), Marco Rubio (R-FL), and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) to introduce bipartisan legislation to help U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) keep the deadly synthetic opioid, fentanyl, out of the country. Brown’s bill, the INTERDICT Act, would provide CBP with additional high-tech screening equipment and lab resources to detect fentanyl before it enters the U.S. According to a report from the Ohio Department of Health, fentanylrelated overdose deaths in Ohio more than doubled from 503 in 2014 to 1,155 in 2015. Several state and national law enforcement organizations have endorsed Brown’s bill. Last Congress, Brown introduced legislation that would address the opioid epidemic from prevention to recovery, filling in gaps that would help: boost prevention, improve tools for crisis response for those who fall through the cracks, expand access to treatment, and provide support for lifelong recovery.

Coroner. “Bill Beagle has served 5th Senate District with distinction during his two terms representing us in Columbus. I thank him for his service to 5th Senate District,” Huffman said. Huffman stated, “As a husband and father of five children, I work every day to make Ohio fiscally responsible, our communities attractive to employers to stimulate job growth, to make sure our schools receive their fair share of the state’s education dollars and to use my experiences as a physician to find commons sense solutions to health care and the opiate/heroin crisis Ohio is facing.” Huffman continued, “Under Republican leadership Ohio has made positive strides over the past several years. Our economy is moving in a positive direction. Real job growth has happened in our region. Tax dollars are being given back to our citizens and small business owners and we’ve balanced our state budgets by making smart decisions.” He pledged, “As a State Senator, I will continue what I did in the House of Representatives, doing what’s best for families, being fiscally conservative, protecting the sanc-

tity of life and our 2nd Amendment rights. When I represent the citizens in the Senate the taxpayers of this district can rest assured that I will work every day to reduce the size of government and make the tough decisions.” He looks forward to the campaign trail where he can meet the citizens of the district to talk about what is important to them and inform them of my vision for Ohio and the 5th Senate District. Former State Representative Jim Buchy said, “We need to have more people of integrity like Senator Bill Beagle in the Senate. Rep Huffman has the conservative values of the people in the ﬁfth senate district.” “I have worked with Dr.

Huffman as Miami County Coroner and as a State Rep. in ﬁghting the opioid epidemic. I look forward to working with Dr. Huffman on these issues when he is in the Senate,” Dr. Kent Harshbarger, Montgomery County Coroner. Huffman received his medical degree from the Medical College of Ohio in 1992 and a bachelors of arts degree from the University Toledo in 1988 where he was also a threeyear starter for the Rockets football team. Huffman is a 1983 graduate of Milton-Union High School in West Milton. During his career Steve Huffman has volunteered on medical missions where he treated the underserved in St. Lucia, Queensland, Australia, Bahamas, St. Croix, St. Thomas, Belize, Guatemala, Cameron, Jamaica and Dominican Republic. Huffman resides in Tipp City with his wife Kathryn and their ﬁve children. The 5th Senate District includes all of Miami and Preble County’s, the southern portion of Darke County and parts of the Western portion of Montgomery County.

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Greenville City Schools jointly with the Friends of Harmon Field held its groundbreaking ceremony for the new GHS Track and Field Complex. The new facility will be known as The Jennings Center Track & Field Complex, thanks to the generous donation of Brad Jennings, a GHS alum, along with his family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means a lot,â&#x20AC;? Jennings told the Early Bird. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coming from Greenville and being able to come back and make this kind of contribution â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been longcoming for Greenville.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it kinda soaked in a little bit when they

Rich averaged 15.6 points per game his senior year whole leading the team with 7.8 rebounds per game and was named Greater Western Ohio Conference All-American North second team. Coach Joseph is familiar with Bluffton head basketball Coach Guy Neal from his association with the coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son while working with him as a grad assistant at Akron University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Really happy for him and proud of him for the work heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s put in to get to this point,â&#x20AC;? Coach Joseph said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach Neil at Bluffton, I worked with his son

Franklin Monroeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nicole Berry stands atop the podium after earning a regional championship and setting a new regional record in shot put.

Berry, Shellhaas are champions again BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

TROY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The ďŹ rst day of the OHSAA Regional Track & Field Meet is mostly to see who will make it out of the preliminary rounds and compete in the ďŹ nals on the second day of the event. However, the 4x800m Relay and several ďŹ eld events are in the books and a few Darke County students have punched their tickets for a trip to the OHSAA State Track & Field Meet. Franklin Monroeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nicole Berry continued her winning ways in shot put. The senior thrower has set numerous records on her way to a Regional Championship. After setting a school record, Cross County Conference record, and a D3 OHSAA District Track & Field record, the only thing left to do was set an OHSAA Regional Track & Field record at Troy High School in shot put. Berryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst throw was just over 41â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and was enough to secure the trip to Columbus, but she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done. The ofďŹ cials stopped action after her second throw and announced they were calling the head ďŹ eld judge over to conďŹ rm a new regional record. The head ďŹ eld judge conďŹ rmed her throw was 45â&#x20AC;&#x2122; 3/4â&#x20AC;?. She beat the record of 43â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

10.75â&#x20AC;? held by Versaillesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Christine Borchers set in 2009. FMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hannah Eley also earned a trip to the podium with a eighth place ďŹ nish in shot put with a throw of 33â&#x20AC;&#x2122; 10.5â&#x20AC;?. Berry wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only Darke County athlete to earn a regional championship; Ansoniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brock Shellhaas also continued his winning streak. The freshman Tiger, has had big conference and district wins, but the competition gets a little harder the further you go. However, Shellhaas was undeterred and competed like he has done all year. With a vault of 14â&#x20AC;&#x2122; 8â&#x20AC;?, Shellhaas was crowned Regional Champion. The Arcanum 4x800m Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Relay team earned a trip to the podium and an opportunity to go to Columbus next week with their third place ďŹ nish. They had

a time of 8:19.11. Aliya Barga, of Ansonia, took her place on the Regional podium in the third position. The juniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jump of 5â&#x20AC;&#x2122; 4â&#x20AC;? was good enough to send her to the state track & ďŹ eld meet. In D1 at the University of Dayton, Greenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sierra Cress came up one spot shy of chance to move. The Lady Wave junior stood on the podium in ďŹ fth place in discus. She had a throw of 116â&#x20AC;&#x2122; 8â&#x20AC;?. In D2 at Piqua High School, only the Versailles Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 4x800m Relay had a chance to move. The Lady Tigers came up short, but went to the podium in seventh place with a time of 10:02.07. The second day of events in D3 and D1 were scheduled for Friday evening and D2 was scheduled for Saturday. Watch Bluebag Media for a complete list of results and state qualiďŹ ers.

The Lady Wave took advantage of a Morgan Gilbert leadoff single and two ďŹ rst inning Lady Falcons Errors to lead 3-0 before ClintonMassie stepped to the plate. The Lady Falcons stranded two ďŹ rst inning back-toback one out singles to left with Greenville tracking down ďŹ&#x201A;y balls to center and right to lead 3-0 after one inning of play. A Gilbert second inning

two out walk and a Karsyn Shaffer RBI double to left pushed the Lady Wave lead to 4-0 with Clinton-Massie going down in order in the bottom of the inning. Greenville used a Makayla Hanes third inning opening walk, Sydney Grote moving Hanes to second with a groundout to ďŹ rst and an Alli Hill RBI double to right-center to give the Lady Wave a 5-0 lead. The Lady Falcons plated a run in the bottom of the third before GHS freshman Baylee Petry left ClintonMassie runners stranded at second and third with her ďŹ rst strikeout of the night sending the teams to the fourth with the Lady Wave holding a 5-1 lead. The Lady Wave would not get on the fourth inning board while the Lady Falcons were adding a run in the bottom of the inning to cut Greenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead to 5-2 with four innings in the book. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want those intense things because I like when

people push,â&#x20AC;? Newland said of the runs scored against the Lady Wave. The Lady Wave put four runs on the board in the top of the ďŹ fth getting an opening Hanes single to center, a Grote single to left and a Hill sacriďŹ ce bunt putting runners on second and third with one out. Petry helped herself with a 2-RBI single to center for a 7-2 score and two Falconsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; errors on a ball off the bat of Gilbert plated two Greenville runs putting the Lady Wave up 9-2. A lone walk was all Clinton-Massie could show for in the bottom of the inning sending the teams to the sixth with the Lady Wave leading 9-2 against the Lady Falcons Taylor Florea sporting a 23-1 season record on the mound. Great coach, great team,â&#x20AC;? Newland said of ClintonMassie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew we would score runs. The better it comes in the better we send it out.â&#x20AC;? Cassie Cromwell drilled

a one out double off the top of the leftďŹ eld fence and scored on an RBI single to center off the bat of Hanes for a 10-2 advantage. Grote took ďŹ rst by way of a hit batsman setting up the big hit of the day with Lady Wave senior catcher, Alli Hill driving a 3-run homer over the wall to dead center upping Greenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead to 13-2. Alli Hill is 18 years old and she has never hit a ball over a fence,â&#x20AC;? said Newland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mom and dad have had a heart attack and battling cancer and she told me the other day she hit the fence once and she said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never got one and on the 1-1 pitch I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;man she just missed that one,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and the next pitch is over the fence. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just awesome for the kid and just so proud of her.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;For her to hit it â&#x20AC;Ś and mom and dad â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out there crying,â&#x20AC;? added Newland. Coach Newland went to his bench bringing in freshman Megan John-

ston to pinch hit and calmly stepped to the plate drilling a triple to left-center and raced home on a passed ball to make it a 14-2 game with the Lady Falcons coming to the plate needing three runs to keep from getting run ruled. A walk, and three consecutive Clinton-Massie singles made it 14-3 followed by a bases loaded one out walk had the score 14-4 before back-to-back Petry strike-

outs had the Lady Wave picking up their fourth run rule tournament win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Breaking records, seeing the ball, scoring runs and all getting individually better and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about,â&#x20AC;? noted Newland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really work at our game individually.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye is on the back but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to Akron,â&#x20AC;? Newland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Akron or bust. Bottom line its Akron or bust.â&#x20AC;?

Lady Jets Join Elite Eight with win over Riverside BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The FM Lady Jets and the Riverside Lady Pirates required a second night to complete the opening round of the D-IV regional softball tournament, a game FM won by a 7-2 score. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Elite Eight â&#x20AC;&#x201C; what a feeling,â&#x20AC;? said Franklin Monroe Coach Mike Morris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been our goal, and ďŹ nally we get one. Hopefully itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not done.â&#x20AC;? With the Lady Jets leading 7-2 Wednesday in the bottom of the seventh and Riverside at the plate looking at two outs with none on, the game was postponed due to lighting and rain setting up the Thurs-

day night meeting with FM needing one out to move on to the regional championship game. The Lady Jets went down in order in the top of the ďŹ rst while Riverside plated a run in the bottom of the inning to take an early 1-0 advantage. The FM girls used a two out Nychelle Cool RBI triple scored Allie Armstrong knotting the score at 1-1 in the top of the second. FM used three fourth inning defensive gems to keep the Lady Pirates off the board. A Belle Cable fourth inning walk, Kennedy Morris reaching by way of a bunt and an Emille Morris 2-RBI double had the Lady Jets leading 3-1 followed with a Kinsey Goins 2-run

homer to give the Jets a 5-1 lead with Riverside coming to the plate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After we made the defensive plays, Emilee got that base hit and scored two runs with two outs, and then Kinsey Goins hit that two run homer,â&#x20AC;? Morris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just started rolling there.â&#x20AC;? The Lady Pirates added a sixth inning run sending the game to the ďŹ nal inning of play with FM holding a 5-2 lead. A seventh inning Cool single and a Chloe Henninger sacriďŹ ce ďŹ&#x201A;y set up a Kennedy Morris RBI double, her 43rd hit of the season to set a new single season Lady Jets hit record. A Chloe Peters RBI single gave the Lady Jets a 7-2 lead with the Lady Pirates

coming the plate. Emilee Morris sat the ďŹ rst two batters down in order before the game was postponed for 24 hours with FM needing one out to complete the game. With the teams returning to Lady Wave Stadium, the FM girls used a groundout to short for the ďŹ nal out of the game but not before the Lady Pirates would put two runners on with a walk and a single. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the strangest win,â&#x20AC;? Morris noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to enjoy it last night but then you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to think ahead and think that you got it because anything can happen. It was just the strangest game Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been involved in.â&#x20AC;? Emilee Morris went the

distance on the mound throwing 11 strikeouts picking up the regional win after throwing a nohitter in district tournament play.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;She can keep us in games,â&#x20AC;? Morris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our defense â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she trusts her defense. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tough to beat when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting her 8-10 strikeouts a game.â&#x20AC;?

UC cheerleader Allie Conklin headed to Purdue Registration BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY, Ind. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Union City High School senior Allie Conklin has cheered for the Indians for the last four years. This fall, she will be stepping out of the red, white and blue and onto the ďŹ eld to cheer for a Big 10 team, the Purdue Boilermakers. Conklin made the Purdue cheer squad after being invited to a two-day tryout following a cheer clinic she attended earlier this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never thought I would get the opportunity to cheer at the collegiate levelâ&#x20AC;Śit is exciting,â&#x20AC;? Conklin told The Early Bird in an exclusive interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just started cheering my freshman year and really had to work hard to catch up to everyone else.â&#x20AC;? Allie says she has al-

ways been inspired to cheer by watching others and pushed herself to be as good as them. Since being a part of the UC Cheer program, Allie and her fellow teammates have brought home several honorsâ&#x20AC;Śincluding a 2016 Tri-Eastern Conference

Championship, achieved top spot at the Indiana State Fair Competition in August 2015, second place at the Clinton County Fair in July 2015 and fourth overall at the Indiana state-wide competition in November 2015. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could tell early on how much potential she had. Allie became one of the best cheerleaders I have had and puts more time in than any other girl that I have coached,â&#x20AC;? said UC Cheer coach Heather Jefferis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She went to Purdue for open gyms and would always bring back what she was taught to help us as a squad. Allie practiced so much, especially her senior year, to make the Purdue Cheerleading Team,â&#x20AC;? continued Coach Jefferis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a goal for her and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud to say she achieved it.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very proud to say I coached her during her high school career. She is going to do well at Purdue. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of her and I am going to miss her dearly,â&#x20AC;? she concluded. In addition to cheering on the Boilermakers on the gridiron, Conklin will be in a rotation to cheer on her teams on the basketball and volleyball courtâ&#x20AC;Ś which she stated depends on seniority. Aside from cheerleading, Allie has held down a 3.8 GPA at Union City. She has not yet decided on a major at Purdue, but will enter into the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exploratory studies program to help ďŹ nd a major that best ďŹ ts her future career choices.

The decision to expand in Versailles supports this strategy by locating its engineering, marketing, product management, communications, among other functions connected to new product development, into close proximity of each other in a new, state-of-the-art facility that is conducive to innovation. The history of Midmark in Versailles began in 1969

when the company constructed the ﬁrst manufacturing plant for its medical division.

COME NOW AND LET US REASON TOGETHER SAYETH THE LORD

I am the Lord: that is my name: is there a God besides me? yea, there is no God; I know not any. Isaiah 42:8,44:8,45:18, 21, 22. The Father created heaven and earth and every thing therein even you and me, by Jesus Christ EPH. 3:9. YES, As He desired fellowship He created man upright in His own image. The words BORN AGAIN? GODâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S ONLY PLAN OF SALVATION is, one God in three persons, all three persons are involved in our SALVATION. God saved us for Jesus sake. EPH. 4:32. PS. 119:89. GOD the Father gave his word, thy word 0 Lord is settled in heaven that endures for ever. lst PT.1:25. GOD THE SON JESUS Christ went to Calvary and conquered hell death and the grave, that we be reconciled through His shed Blood back to the Father. The Lord hath laid on Him the sin of us all down through the ages and He made Him to be sin for us who knew no sin that we be made the righteousness of God in Him. 2 COR.5:21. IS. 53:6. Jesus said, ye must be BORN AGAIN being baptized into Jesus Christ who lives in our heart forever; THIS IS THAT MYSTERY, kept secret down through the ages and was revealed to the Apostle Paul as CHRIST IN YOU the Hope of Glory. And He was caught up to the third heaven and talked with JESUS. God the Father gave heaven and earth and every thing therein to His Son Jesus and He has every right to say who comes into His heaven, COL. 1:27. JN. 1:12, 13:3. GOD THE Holy Spirit wrote the Bible the Greek Vulgate the same text Paul and the Apostles used. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not forget MT CALVARY. FOR BY GRACE are ye saved through FAITH we have SALVATION. God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting Life. JN. 3:16. GAL. 4:6, 7. SALVATION, is a gift of God, that delivers us from the power and penalty of sin, as no sin can enter heaven. ONLY CHRIST AND CHRIST ALONE BEING GOD, WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH TO TAKE AWAY OUR SIN AND GIVE US ETERNAL LIFE. REV.21:27. 1St TIM.3 :16.2 COR. 5:18 -21. YES GOD IS HOLY HE CANNOT LIE TITUS 1:2. This document should be read often to Children the young at heart to be saved. The GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST is, Christ died for our sin and was buried YES, He rose again the 3rd day according to the scriptures: 1st COR. 15:3, 4. JESUS SAID, many would be DECEIVED. As untold multitudes are in sin, putting OFF SALVATION. The most dangerous time in history for young people to MISS THE RAPTURE, and lose their SOUL. JESUS SAID, SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES; FOR IN THEM YE THINK YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE: AND THEY ARE THEY WHICH TESTIFY OF ME. JN 5:39. People with out SALVATION will be cast into outer darkness, YES it will be dark there and they will have to go and pay the penalty for their own sin in hell for ever. SO donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose your soul. MAT. 22:13. JESUS SAID, I am the Way the Truth and the Life no man cometh to the Father but by me. JN.14:6. Neither is there SALVATION in any other: for there is none other NAME under heaven to be saved. The AGAPE LOVE IS OF GOD, He Loves you and me just as much as His own SON even before we were saved that is awesome He sent His SON to pay all the sin debt forever. And we will receive the Glorified Body minus the Blood like Jesus has now that will never grow old. GODS WORD says whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. ROMANS 10:13. JESUS IS GODS UNSPEAKABLE GIFT Will you Receive JESUS and have eternal Life now, PRAY, â&#x20AC;&#x153; OH God, I am a sinner I repent of my sin, Lord Jesus come into my heart and forgive my sin and save my soul IN JESUS NAME I PRAYâ&#x20AC;?

MEMORIES OF THE PAST KAY BROWNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S postcard collection of local towns and subjects was one of the best around Darke County. She was keenly interested in history and in Darke County; this search was a life-long passion. She helped her husband, Pete Brown, run the Central Drug Store from

1946-1967. They helped the Garst Museum ever since then. Pete died in 1995 and was 25 years the President of the Museum. She retired from the museum board four years ago and passed away in 2014 at age 98. She never wanted to live anywhere other than in Greenville. She most enjoyed the GPAT Channel 5 TV broadcasts with former council-person Kathleen Floyd, where they

discussed these same postcards covering 100 years of Greenville/local history. DICK BROWN, son, is also a life-long resident of Greenville and now keeps their postcard collection. Dick graduated from GHS in 1964, Miami University in 1968, taught school for a year, owned McVayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sporting Goods for 16 years and was a real estate appraiser for

11 years. He has been vice president of the Darke County Historical Society for the past 20 years. Dick is still involved with the GHS yearbook and has been president of the GHS Alumni Association for the past eight years.

This is a look at the Greenville City Park and the entrance that once welcomed visitors. This pictured was taken in 1927.

This was the Greenville High School Building in 1912. A new high school building soon took its place, which eventually became the junior high. That building is slated to be razed soon.

A postcard could not have been more appropriate than this one for this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historical look at the area. The Marling Band Shell came down this week in preparation for a new band shell they hope will be ready for use by fall. This postcard was dated 1945

The Darke County Infirmary sat in the area of the current Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department. This picture of the infirmary was taken in 1913.

Donors thanked for giving to band shell RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Standing in front of what was once the Marling Band Shell, donors were thanked for their contribution to build a new band shell. Dale Musser, president of the Greenville City Park Board, expressed his appreciation to the major donors, which included the Coppock Hole Trust, Hartnagles, Greenville National Bank, LeRoy & Eunice Steinbrecher and Family, Second National Bank and Lucille Clark Funds. The park board also received a grant through

the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The City of Greenville is expected to award a contract to rebuild the band shell at its June 6 meeting. Although it has been decided, the new band shell could include restroom facilities. With restrooms, the cost for the new band shell is expected to be $349,000. The park board raised $333,098.16 through gifts, donations and the grant. Approximately $72,000 is needed either through donations or an appropriation from the city to complete the project as presented. If the city chooses to forgo the restrooms, the funds raised are enough to complete the project.

GREENVILLE – Although she’s no longer a practicing member of the Greenville Church of God congregation, Bethany Wintenborn wants to share a message of kindness and tolerance in behalf of family and friends who are. Wintenborn, 25, left the church at age 20, when she found she was questioning several tenets of the faith – questions she said leaders of the local congregation admitted they could not answer. “I had a point blank conversation with (the pastor) and he didn’t have answers,” Wintenborn said. “He said ‘I can’t answer.’” Most of her questions centered on the mandatory wearing of the dark, long clothing, and why children were not encouraged to develop talents in music, art or sports. She also said she wondered why, if church members were supposed to be representatives of Jesus Christ and spread the Gospel, why they weren’t allowed to mingle with those who “were of the world” and witness as she read Christ did as told in the New Testament. “The questions may have seemed silly, but they were serious for me, to help me

Bethany Winterborn shares a message of tolerance to aide in her healing process.

ﬁnd who I am,” explained Wintenborn, who works as an on-site inspector for Bright Claims, an insurance company based in Georgia. Wintenborn was born into the faith in California – where this particular Church of God movement has its roots. Her parents, who have eight children and have divorced, moved their family to Greenville to be near a larger congregation of church members. After she graduated from the Greenville congregation’s school, located on State Route 49, Wintenborn served a couple missions with other Church of God congregations, including working in one of the church’s schools in Baja California, Mexico. “I came back to Greenville and things came up,” she said, which led her to

questioning if she wanted to spend the rest of her life as a dedicated church member. Her parents have since left the church, she said, since divorce is not accepted, although she said her mother still believes the doctrine. Wintenborn also has siblings who remain active members. When she left, Wintenborn said she “didn’t have a support group” to help manage new life experiences. “I thought ‘if this isn’t the way, then what is?’” she said, explaining how she started to realize that people “on the outside” were not going to try to harm her. “They were kind and friendly. I realized they were not going to go to hell as I’d been taught.” Wintenborn explained how this congregation of the Church of God believes in the Bible, but is not afﬁliated with any other denomination. According to its website, “We are the church of the living God, as we read about in the New Testament.” Wintenborn said part of her “burden” after leaving the church was to try to make friends and have some support. “I want decent friends,” she said. “I don’t want to resent the church, which I did in part, at ﬁrst. Now I’m healing.”

This coming week is the annual International Camp Meeting, held in West Milton. Church members from across the United States as well as other countries, such as Mexico, Germany and the Philippines are expected to attend. In past years, a group of congregants visit downtown Greenville one evening to share their beliefs in song and pass out their literature, Wintenborn said. “I want there to be kindness toward them. You don’t know what they have gone through or are going through,” she said, adding how she knows many congregants face spiritual challenges and question church leadership and doctrine. They may be afraid to leave because they haven’t been taught life skills to survive in today’s world and are afraid of what may happen to them in a spiritual sense, Winterborn said. “I tell my sisters, ‘if you’re happy I’ll support you, but when you leave, I’m here for you. I’m really not angry” with the church, Winterborn said. “But I need to know about life. I’m just now ﬁnding out who I am. “I think being a Christian is more about being Christ-like – being kind, not judging, being giving. Being more involved in the community, as Christ was. Being a witness.”

Legacy banners and carriage rides top BRC celebration SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Since 1902, the Brethren Retirement Community has provided needed services to local families. On Tuesday, May 23, the BRC celebrated its 115th anniversary with an afternoon of entertainment and horse-drawn carriage rides around the 42-acre campus for residents and interested community members. What started out as a home for the elderly and orphans has grown to include several residential buildings and a health care facility, as well as single resident homes. The original home was incorporated with the state of Ohio on April 18, 1902, “with the ﬁrst resident moving here in July 1903,” said John Warner, president and CEO. Warner also explained the ﬁrst Brethren Home facility was located just up the hill from the current health care building’s main entrance. The original structure is no longer there, Warner explained, noting that today’s BRC includes a building constructed in 1961, with the Oak Ridge assisted living apartments and Rosewood Health Center facility being added in 1973. Later came Chestnut Village, the independent living community. The BRC also offer the independent living community Mill Ridge Village, located in Union. To honor both the facility’s milestone anniversary as well as its residents, the BRC introduced an oppor-

tunity for families to purchase customized legacy banners, which will be hung around both the Greenville and Union campuses. “We’ve sold 29 so far,” said Holly Hill, director of marketing. Hill said after seeing similar banners hanging in the village West Milton, she thought “why can’t we do that?” The banners include a photo of the person being honored and the dates he/ she resided at the BRC. After the banners are displayed on a lamp post or at the BRC entrance for a period of time, possibly a year, Hill said, family members who purchased banners will be able to take them home. Chestnut Village resident Joy Albright, who moved with her husband Jim to the campus a year ago from a farm south of Greenville, purchased a banner in honor of her sister, Shirley East, who both worked and resided at the BRC. “She passed away two years ago,” Albright said. “She worked at BRC in the ofﬁce years ago and lived at the BRC about four years.” Albright said when she and her husband left for their weekly line dancing class at Mill Ridge Village on Monday, they saw workers busy putting up the banners. “They were working on them. I couldn’t wait to get back to see them. I can sit in my solarium and see my sister,” she said. “I was hoping they’d do what they did” by putting Ms. East’s banner on the light post next to her sister’s home. “We plan on giving the banner to my sister’s daughter.”

Those who wish to purchase banners may still do so, Hill said. Order forms are available at the BRC or call 547-8000. Proceeds from the sale of banners will go to the Resident Aid Fund. The horse-drawn carriage rides were provided by Ro-Da-O Farm in Arcanum.

Also, musical entertainment was provided by Just Duets in the BRC Brick Room. “It was a very successful day,” Hill said. “A lot of carriage ride tours of the independent living and assisted living were made for those looking to the future or near future for themselves or family members.”

“For each college graduate, this piece of paper represents obstacles that students refuse to let stand in the way of their success.” “These documents from your community college grant citizenship as a college educated adult. They serve as qualiﬁers for employment, transfer and other degrees, scholarships, and the many opportunities only open to college graduates.” During the ceremony, Miami County Commissioner Mr. Greg Simmons delivered a keynote address commending the graduates and encouraging

mons. “You can test it, try it, improve it, and as you move on to the next part of your journey I think you’ll find that Edison State Community College has served you well. Return that by conducting yourself in a way that displays integrity and honor.” As the College’s first graduate, Simmons noted that, because of his start at Edison State, he was able to reach many goals in life. “Edison State was my launching pad for a higher education and a career. After serving in the Navy, I married, started a family, and returned to school. As a result of starting at Edison State, I became a teacher, a pastor, chief probation officer, police officer, Director of West Central Juvenile Facility, and presently I’m a Miami County Commissioner. I consider Edison State the start of ev-

erything for me, and it has been really good to me.” This year’s graduating class earned over 440 degrees and certiﬁcates in such career and transfer programs as arts, business, communications, engineering and manufacturing, health sciences, humanities, mathematics, sciences and social and public services. The class of 2017 represents 13 Ohio counties, with 41percent from Miami County, 22-percent from Shelby County, and 19-percent from

Darke County. “Success for some means heading right into the workforce, often to a job they’ve earned through an internship; for others, it means further study at colleges and universities near and far,” said Scott Burnam, Vice Provost. “But regardless of what’s next for them, when students succeed at Edison State, they leave thoroughly prepared to take on their next great challenge.” Thirty-ﬁve of those graduating with an associate

degree will also graduate concurrently from high school. Jenna Barlage, a sophomore at Fort Loramie High School, will graduate from Edison State this summer. “As many years as we do it, and as many stories we hear about what students overcome to graduate from Edison State, we continue to be amazed at levels of focus, commitment, and endurance that our students demonstrate to become successful,” added Burnam.

PRESCHOOL FIELD TRIP

Sunday, May 28, 2017-The Early Bird, www.bluebagmedia.com PAGE 23

Taycie shares she loves to write songs and combines her music with politics. “Music changes people in ways words don’t. It moves people and brings something to their awareness. It’s more than entertainment. It tells a story.” It was a big decision to go professional and requires a lot of discipline. She admits that in writing the tunes come easier than the words. She looks forward to becoming known
