Annie Oakley Festival moving; parade cancelled this year GREENVILLE – The Annie Oakley Festival Committee is excited to announce this year’s festival will move from the Darke County Fairgrounds to York Woods on U.S. Route 127. The move will provide all the same attractions and events Darke County residents have become accustomed to, but in a more compact space with more tree cover. The festival committee’s ﬁrst priority in this transition

is to continue as many events, attractions, and traditions from previous years as they can, just in a new location. As always, the festival will be held the last full weekend in July, July 25-27. The weekend passes will remain $3 regular and $2 presale as they have been in the past and there will be parking up close to the gate at the new location. As with year’s past, the festival will include the

Miss Annie Oakley Shooting Contest, essay contest for girls ages 8-13, fast draw competition and melodrama performed by the Darke County Civic Theatre. The committee will also continue to provide the historical tour of Greenville and Annie Oakley’s gravesite on an air-conditioned charter bus. Families will enjoy the many talented singers and entertainers performing throughout the

weekend, petting zoo provided by the Ansonia FFA chapter, family fun games, food, craft and ﬂea market vendors set up throughout the grounds, as well as the great selection of unique festival souvenirs sold at the festival headquarters. In addition, there will be campsites available for those wishing to spend the entire weekend enjoying the festival. Because of the lack of volunteers and commu-

nity support, the Annie Oakley Festival Committee regrets to announce the annual parade through downtown Greenville had to be cancelled this year. The committee would like the public to know they are still interested in ﬁnding new and exciting vendors for the festival. Direct sales companies, food and ﬂea market vendors are encouraged to go online for an application or call Judie Hatha-

way, 548-2391. Festival sponsors are also being sought; contact Hannah Linebaugh, 338-5221. Organizers said without support from the community the half-century old tradition of the Annie Oakley Festival would not be possible. For questions about this year’s festival, visit www.annieoakleyfestival.org or call Committee President Bill Gunckle, 548-4249.

Symbolic groundbreaking kicks off GCSD construction BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR GREENVILLE – “We are ready to begin our 27-month process of construction…” Greenville City Schools Superintendent Doug Fries stood before the microphone one ﬁnal time as a 40-minute symbolic groundbreaking ceremony taking place May 27 at Harmon Field was about to wrap up. The celebration marked the beginning of work on a renovated high school and a new K-8 building. The school day event allowed all students – grades K-12 – to participate in the ceremony. “It will be a project of collaboration, ﬂexibility and problemsolving to complete…” There was a symbolic shoveling of dirt, as one employee put it, on a symbolic tarp at the foot-

BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER PALESTINE - The Liberty Township Fire Department recently donated numerous items to the Africa Fire Mission which will be sent to the Nairobi Fire Service in Kenya to aid the locals that currently have very limited resources in ﬁghting ﬁres. A member of the Africa Fire Mission organization, Scott Holland of the Sharonville Fire Department traveled north to Palestine May 25, with Brian Webb, Michael Carney and Paul Tabaja who are all cadets from the Great Oaks Fire Academy in Cincinnati, to pick up the donated equipment. Liberty Township Fire Department donated various items, including several air packs and bottles, turnout gear, helmets, hoses and ‘Res-

cue Annie’, a practice fire victim kit. The Africa Fire Mission was established in early 2013 and is based out of the Cincinnati area. The mission has received donations from 50 fire and rescue departments across several states since its start in early 2013. According to Liberty Township Chief Mark Loy, the department was able to donate all the equipment due to donated gear from neighboring departments and a grant for new turnout gear. “The people in Africa have nothing and the stuff we send for them to use may be old to use, but is very important to them,” Chief Loy said. “We are just trying to pay it forward.” A team of five individuals from the Africa Fire Mission will travel to Nai-

robi, Kenya in October after a 40 foot container of donated equipment is shipped. The team will spend 7-10 days training the Nairobi Fire Service on how to use and care for the new gear. According to the Africa Fire Mission Executive Director Dave Moore, Nairobi has approximately five million people with only 150 firefighters, “so any equipment is valuable to them so they can do their job when needed.” The organization is currently accepting donations for the current and future trips. To learn more about the Africa Fire Mission and how you can help log on to africafiremission.org or make donations by searching for ‘Africa Fire Mission’ at gofundme.com after June 2.

followed, by the National Anthem from the Greenville Band of Pride. The GHS Jazz Scene and Wavaires also performed during the program. Fries introduced the GCSD Board of Education and invited guests:

Greenville City Pool set to open under new management BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER GREENVILLE - The Greenville City Pool has been ﬁlled with water and should be open to the public on June 2, at 1 p.m., according to new pool manager Caleb Custer. He has been making a coordinated effort to make sure the pool is ready for the public as soon as possible. “We are doing whatever it takes to get this place open and ready for some summer fun,” Custer said. The pool has received some major paint upgrades over the last few weeks. The entire pool has been stripped and

repainted and the slide, diving boards, benches and buildings have all had paint upgrades to help bring some life and color to the pool area. Custer and his mom Kate have donated a majority of the paint and time to get the pool ready for opening day. According to Custer, the pool had some touch-ups done over two years ago, but has desperately needed a complete overhaul for quite some time. Custer, who was voted in as the new pool manager by the park board members, has worked at the pool as a life guard for the last six years. His chosen assistant

manager, Sam Bowers, son of Greenville Mayor Mike Bowers, will work together with Custer to bring some different features to the pool season. The pair is planning for some summer fun night swims that will include music, dance and movies to give the pool some added attraction. Along with working with the Darke County EMA through Skywarn, pool manager Custer also has a DJ service he titles DJ 9-1-1 he plans to utilize for the music at the pool. Look for details and event dates on the City of Greenville website. Custer and Bowers have a combined 10

years of life guard experience. Both are current college students and graduates of Greenville High School. Custer has brought in over 20 life guards in which seven will be on duty at all times during the summer season. “Every day is a new day,” Custer told The Early Bird. “I enjoy working with the city and park board and look forward to a successful summer at the pool.” Swimming lessons will be held MondayThursday for two weeks for a fee of $35. To sign up, log on to the City of Greenville’s website at cityofgreenville.org. Pool

hours are 1-7 p.m. seven days a week. Family pool passes are available for $150, single season passes for $100 and will be half price at mid-season. Daily pool entry fee is $5 and $2.50 after 5 p.m. each day. The pool

will be available for private rentals for $100 per hour. Contact the pool ofﬁce at 548-3393 or the park ofﬁce at 548-2315 for questions and information.

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT

Child threatened in Domestic Violence incident On May 29 police responded to a 911 call regarding a suspect who took a 2-month old baby from the mother and told

her if she called police he would break the child’s neck and throw her out the window. The mother was crying and holding

her right arm and clutching her abdomen. She told police the defendant, Craig Steiner, was upset when a neighbor told him he was going to visit the victim when he left for work. Steiner allegedly punched the victim several times in the arm and the abdomen, then grabbed the baby from her arms and made his threat. Police were unable to observe inside the residence and called a hostage negotiator to the scene. A plan was devised where an officer in plain clothes would contact Steiner on a utilities call. After several attempts Steiner came to the door, without the child, and when backup officers announced “police” got ready to fight. It required two officers to get Steiner to the ground and handcuffed; he continued to struggle. They

said the fight is over; Steiner responded “take the cuffs off and see if the fight is over.” He continued to struggle until told he would be TASER’d. The victim later told police the fight started with Steiner yelling at her to clean the house and pulling her by the hair to a bedroom, telling her to clean it. After the neighbor comment he accused her of having an affair and told her to leave. That was when he grabbed the baby, told the victim she was a worthless mother and would never see the baby again and made his threat. Steiner was arrested for Domestic Violence and Resisting Arrest. Children’s Services was contacted due to the dirty conditions of the residence. On May 27 police were dispatched on a domestic violence call. The victim stated she and Justin Gantt were in an argument all day long; it turned physical when he allegedly grabbed her by the wrists and dragged her into the bedroom, throwing her on the bed and screaming at her. She stated he is controlling and was angry because she used the car to buy cigarettes without him. When she tried to leave the residence to call 911 he caught her, grabbing her by the face and began to lift her up. This caused pain in her neck and face. There were no visible injuries. Gantt was later located when he left a camper he’d been hiding in, arrested and transported to Darke County jail on a Domestic Violence charge. He told police the victim had mental health issues and had threatened to cut his throat with a knife. On May 28 police responded to a domestic dispute involving the victim, the defendant and the defendant’s boyfriend. The defendant allegedly came home to find the victim in her boyfriend’s apartment and accused the victim of being “with” her boyfriend. Jacinda Chasteen punched the victim on the right side of her back causing a red mark, pulled her hair and threatened to “kick her down the steps.” A witness said Chasteen assaulted the victim outside the apartment and when she entered her own residence and locked the door, Chasteen kicked it in. When the victim said she was going to call police, Chasteen picked up the land-line phone, pulled the cord from the wall and threw the phone on the ground outside. Chasteen told police she became upset when she saw the victim “interlocked” with her boy-

friend. She was charged with two counts of Domestic Violence and one count of Criminal Damaging. On May 24 police responded to a domestic violence call involving the suspect, Gage Bradburn, and two victims. The victims were arguing with him about suspected drug use when Bradburn grabbed one victim and started to throw her against the wall in the hallway of the residence. The other victim pulled out a pocket knife and attempted to protect the first victim. Bradburn allegedly kicked the second victim on the right side of his face. The second victim had an abrasion and redness on the right side of his face, plus some swelling and a cut on the inside of his mouth. One victim advised police Bradburn was in the bathroom “trying to flush the drugs down the toilet.” Police entered the residence and asked Bradburn to open the bathroom door. He had difficulty standing and appeared to be under the influence. Police advised him he was under arrest but when they attempted to cuff him, he pulled his hand away and “asked what was going on.” Bradburn struggled and fell over, pulling two officers with him. As they applied pressure to his back and shoulder area, he complained of a shoulder injury. Multiple items such as a plastic baggy, capsules and empty caps were found in the bathroom. Bradburn was transported to Wayne Emergency; once cleared he was arrested and taken to Darke County jail. Possible charges include Domestic Violence, Assault and Possession/ Abuse of Drugs. SEX OFFENSE On May 27 police received a complaint about unlawful sexual conduct with a minor between a male high school senior and a female junior high student. The parents indicated they’d had problems with the victim and taken away all of her electronic devices. They discovered she had a Facebook page and deactivated it. By accident the father found evidence of the girl having a relationship with the senior and contacted police. The victim said she met the suspect about five months earlier. The suspect had a girlfriend so they had been friends, although they talked about sexual topics. It became physical two weeks ago when they’d had “unprotected intercourse.” There was a second time; again no protection was used. The father saw messages

about the relationship on another Facebook page and changed the password so the girl could not delete them. A GPD detective and Children’s Services were contacted. ASSAULT On May 25 police responded to 501 Martin regarding an incident in which possibly two juveniles (ages not noted in report) reported they were stopped by Adam Burton to be asked about a tiger head that was on the antenna of his vehicle. While Burton was questioning them he allegedly put one of the victims in a head lock and started to pull him from the vehicle, causing abrasions on his chest and rib cage from the window’s weather stripping. The boys and witnesses said Burton then began punching the victim in the forehead. The victim had visible abrasions on the upper right side of his chest and rib cage, but no visible injuries on his forehead. Burton admitted stopping the boys about the tiger head. He said they began laughing at him so he placed the victim in a head lock. He denied punching him but acknowledged the abrasions could have happened due to the victim “coming somewhat out of the vehicle” because of the head lock. Burton advised his wife, brother and mother were outside during the altercation and their stories were similar to his. Burton was issued a citation for assault. DISORDERLY CONDUCT On May 25 police were dispatched to 311 1/2 E. Fourth St. regarding a trespassing call. Three individuals were at the address: Ricky Yoder, Kelly Limmer and Zach Geiger. Yoder, who was partially on the complainant’s property and partially on a public sidewalk, was noticeably intoxicated and had an odor of an alcoholic beverage on him. His speech was slurred and eyes glassy and bloodshot. He had an open bottle of beer in his hand. The officer began talking with Limmer about the trespassing complaint when Yoder started cursing in a loud, offensive manner with phrases like “this is f----- bull---t.” He was warned for disorderly conduct but did not heed the warnings. On the basis Yoder was intoxicated and would not let the officer continue his discussion with Limmer without constant interruption, the officer arrested him. He was cited for Disorderly Conduct and transported to the Darke County jail. It was noted the offense was committed within 1,000 feet of East School.

Remarks were made by Board President Jim Sommer, State Representative Jim Buchy, Greenville Mayor Mike Bowers, OSFC Project Manager Nathan Jones, Bruce Miller from Garmann Miller Architects, Greenville’s Teacher of the Year Nan Hottle and

GCSD Treasurer Carla Surber. “Fifty years ago, Mr. Sommer and I played football here with Mr. McGreevey’s father.

That’s the reason we’re such a successful community. We have good people who make this a good place to live and work.” Hottle said the turning of the ground represents a wave of change when four schools will

become one. “It will be the sharing of a beautiful new building… the advantages will be tremendous,” she added. Participating in the groundbreaking was an adult with a child from each grade. Mrs. Surber shared the shovel with Kindergarten student John Barr, Mr. McGreevey with 1st grade student Jamison Meade, Mrs. Sommer with 2nd grade student Sadie Lance, Mr. Matix with 3rd grade student Breylind Fisher, Mrs. Shumaker with 4th grade student Eli Flanery, Mrs. Ernst with 5th grade student Logan

Rage, Rocko and Kid Farm Safety The leading cause of injury to children on the farm are falls. 56% of these are non- farm work related. The farm is the home and work place. This increases the chance of injury for family and visitors. Farm kids work and play hard. Farm parents do a great job teaching of dangers around the farm, however kids like to be indepen-

dent. Look for those fall risk like weak or missing barn loft boards, horseback riding without a helmet. Other causes of injury on the farm are unfenced retaining ponds or pits, farm equipment, animals bigger than kids, and chemicals, to name a few. Work Hard, Teach Smart, and Be Safe 24/365.

Two Arcanum DI teams advance to state

This Father’s Day

He welcomed his 100th great grandchild to the family last summer! Marion, 91, is father to 20, and grandfather to 76. When he gets together with the immediate family there are approximately 260 members all told, including in-laws. Home-based gatherings are out of the question—a hall must be rented. Marion says that even with 175 grand and great-grand kids, the birth of the 100th was, "the same as the first." And, best of all, he’s got six more greatgrandchildren on the way!

Sander gives 130th donation

DAYTON – There’s a certain sense of pride and commitm e n t you ﬁnd in Darke County blood donors. T h e county ranks fourth in Community Blood Center’s (CBC) 15-county service area in the number of registered blood donors, and when you look at the population eligible by age to donate, nearly one out of four people you meet is a donor. That’s the kind of dedication Michelle Sander from Greenville demonstrated when she made her milestone 130th lifetime blood donation March 22 at the downtown Dayton CBC. Michelle had planned to donate on March 17 at the Versailles Rotary Club “Souper” St. Patrick’s Day community blood drive. Instead she made the Saturday morning drive to Dayton. “I got deferred because my iron was low,” she said. “My appointments are set for the whole year, so I decided to stay on schedule and come down here and donate.” Michelle has been a regular whole blood donor since 1983. She works as a dental hygienist in Versailles, and every day brings a new opportunity to re-dedicate her commitment to blood donations. “I talk with people and hear their stories,” she said. “That kind of thing, what it’s told me over the years is that giving blood is really important.”

ON YOUR MIND

READERS WRITE

Don’t Mess With My Good Side Letter to the Editor, It has come to my attention that Darke County’s couples of all persuasions have navigated to the Chapel of the Winds. They are advised to immediately and forever move on. The Sheriff’s ofﬁce has been informed and they have permission to enter the property twenty four seven. I’m also tired of telling married couples that I don’t want them meeting at the Chapel. Get a hotel room. I’m sure I can now count on suspicious house wives to help me patrol God’s house. Let me be clear. I don’t care what anyone’s life style is, gay or straight. I’m not against having an affair. I’m against it happening at the chapel. The Chapel of the Winds is my good side. Don’t mess with it. Don Wright, Greenville

Local organizations seek vets’ names VERSAILLES - More than 50 years has passed since the Vietnam War began and this year the Versailles VFW/American Legion would like to recognize the Vietnam Era Vets. The VFW/ American Legion is requesting names of all Vietnam Era Vets. Both living and deceased veterans will be honored. The military cannot supply them with the names of all the men and women that served during the Vietnam Era, (December 22, 1958 May 1975) so they must rely on you to help them with this monumental and worthy project. They also know most veterans are reluctant to tell their stories or accept the accolades that are so long in coming therefore they request the assistance of

their family and friends to nudge their veteran into action or to submit their names and photos for them. Photos should be submitted tothebunker@embarqmail.com or stop in at the House of Flowers, 10 East Main St., Versailles and they’ll scan your photo for you. If a military photo cannot be located we are happy to accept a graduation or similar photo. The deadline date is June 6. To determine if you are considered part of the Vietnam Era you can to examine the discharge date on your DD 214. It’s not too late to be included and consequently archived in the Versailles Area Historical Museum for eternity.

Cutting down on red tape Sometimes, government has a tendency of continuing to do JIM BUCHY OHIO things the REPRESENTATIVE same way year after year. Enough years go by, and people stop asking questions because, “That’s just the way it’s done.” That is why I was happy to see House Bill 490 be introduced in the Ohio House of Representatives. One component of House Bill 490 changes some of the regulatory oversight practices of how manure is handled in Ohio. Specifically, the bill transfers the oversight of manure control from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources via the local Division of Soil and Water Conservation to the Ohio Department of Agriculture except for distressed watersheds such as, Grand Lake St. Marys. Why is that important? As most people know, manure is a valuable asset for the purpose of fertilizing fields. But for obvious reasons, it is critical that it be applied and contained in a proper way, so as to not infiltrate and affect our water supply. This issue will strongly impact rural areas of the state like in western Ohio. The 84th House District is the largest agriculture-producing district in the state, including heavy livestock and poultry production. The largest agricultural operations—the permitted, concentrated animal-feeding operations—obviously already have to have strict control over the application of manure. This legislation recognizes the

quality management of manure production by the Ohio Department of Agriculture in the Division of Livestock and Environmental Permitting as it relates to large farms. Under the new law management of manure issues will be transferred to the Ohio Department of Agriculture for farms of all sizes with the exception of those located in a distressed watershed. In western Ohio, we are very familiar with manure management because of the impact it has had on area lakes. In the Grand Lake St. Marys Watershed the local Division of Soil and Water Conservation has developed a working relationship with the local agricultural community and in this volatile watershed a decision was made to allow those relationships to continue to work. For that reason every place in Ohio except for the Grand Lake St. Marys Watershed in the future will see all manure handling issues dealt with by the experts at the Ohio Department of Agriculture. Moving control of manure management in agriculture to the Ohio Department of Agriculture will reduce bureaucracy by eliminating some of the overlap that had previously existed in the system. Now, this issue, with the exception of distressed watersheds, will be handled by the people who have the utmost expertise and experience needed to make sure manure management in the state of Ohio is run smoothly, efﬁciently and safely.

A tease and a bully Grumpy Side of 60 by Bob Robinson Associate Editor

“So… would you be here if you didn’t have to?” She said she didn’t have to… she was a Wavette and one of my former students at Edison. “This is volunteer,” she added, “for all of us.” I thanked her. While the band members and Wavettes were standing around talking – waiting for the parade to start - I saw the young lady I interviewed last year and called her over. I thanked her for being there again this year… then… “But tell me, if you weren’t part of the parade would you still come?” If I remember right, ﬁrst she said she didn’t think so, then she said “Oh, I don’t know! Maybe…” I could tell she was getting ﬂustered (probably remembering how last year’s conversation went) so I thanked her again and let her go back

to her friends. I laughed and told the teacher who was standing near us… “I love these kids!” Still grinning I walked over to Broadway to see who else I could talk to… or would be willing to talk to me. One young man – bless his soul – said “hi Mr. Robinson” so I stopped and asked him if he knew what the parade was about… “Yes. It’s about our veterans.” I asked a couple more questions – can’t remember them speciﬁcally now – but he wasn’t sure of the answers… His mom said, “You didn’t know you were going to take a test today, did you?” I grinned and said, “You did good, Buddy,” then went on my merry way. “Hi, Mr. Robinson!” It was the last leg of my journey from the Courthouse to the Greenville Cemetery for the Memorial Day Ceremony when one of my Kindergarten students waved to me. She gave my kneecaps a hug. I squatted down (tough to do at my age, especially after walking from the courthouse)

and asked… “What are you doing, Sweety?” Watching the parade. “Do you know why we’re having this parade?” She shrugged her shoulders… “It’s for our veterans,” her mom told her. “For our veterans?” she repeated, not quite sure… “That is exactly right, Sweety. For our veterans. Do you know what a veteran is?” “No.” I told her they were the men and women who gave us our freedom… “Do you like being free?” “Yes!” she said, grinning. I waved good-bye and caught up with the gentleman I’d been walking with… we talked about Memorial Day. I wasn’t aware he was a vet; I thanked him for his service. He said he appreciated it but noted Memorial Day was not about him… it was about the veterans who died serving our country. I agreed, but it made me wonder how many people actually realized that. Memorial Day is for those who paid the

ultimate price. Most vets I know freely admit the observance isn’t about them; it’s about the brothers and sisters who didn’t come home. I thought about the veterans who give me the ride back to town after the ceremony each year. About the camaraderie, the uniqueness of each of them in what they did, and what they continue to do in remembrance of their fellow vets. They joke about it… they can’t wait to get back to the Legion for a beer when it’s over. But they show up. Every year. They are special, as are the young people enjoying the parade, or taking time out of their day to honor those who served. I don’t really mean to give these kids a hard time… well, maybe I do. In my humble opinion, it is simply too important to ignore. Our young people need to know. Need to understand. I guess my baby sister was right, though… she said I was a tease and a bully when she was growing up.

Justice Kennedy will speak to GOP Women on June 9 GREENVILLE – The Darke County Republican Women’s Club (DCRWC) will be holding its regularly scheduled monthly meeting at 6:30 p.m. on June 9. Ohio Supreme Court Justice Sharon Kennedy will be the featured speaker. Justice Kennedy began her career in the justice system as a police ofﬁcer. She was assigned to a rotating, shift-single ofﬁcer road patrol unit working to protect and serve the citizens of the City of Hamilton. From the routine, to the heart pounding, to the heart breaking she has seen it all. During her career at the Hamilton Police Department Justice Kennedy also worked undercover operations, implemented crime prevention programs, and later, as a civil assistant, assisted in drafting police policy and procedure for the Accreditation Program. Serving the Butler County Court of Common Pleas, Justice Kennedy improved the case management system to ensure the timely resolution of cases for families and children. Working with state legislators she championed a “common sense” family law initiative to reduce multipleforum litigation for Butler County families. During Justice Kennedy’s term as administrative judge, Butler County faced tough economic times. She orga-

nized concerned elected officials in a county-wide Budget Work Group. Seeing the need to bring private sector financial know-how to the government, she worked to create the Advisory Committee to the Budget Work Group. Serving as the facilitator, Justice Kennedy led discussions between county officials and private sector leaders to analyze county finances, study and implement cost saving measures, and present business driven fiscal policy to the County Commissioners. Beginning her legal career as a solo practitioner, Justice Kennedy ran a small business of her own. While in private practice she served the legal needs of families, juveniles, and the less fortunate. As special counsel for Attorney General Betty D. Montgomery,

Justice Kennedy fought on behalf of Ohio’s taxpayers to collect monies due the State of Ohio. As a parttime magistrate in the Butler County Area Courts, she presided over a wide-array of civil litigation and assisted law enforcement ofﬁcers and private citizens seeking the issuance of criminal warrants for arrest. Throughout her career she has served on numerous boards, developed and facilitated programs to address the needs of young people, and worked with judges across the state. As a dedicated jurist she has received numerous awards of recognition including, The Furtherance of Justice Award, in 2001; Above the Fold Award, in 2002; Judge of the Year, in 2006; Excellence in Public Service, in June 2009; and was named one of 13 profes-

sional women to watch by The Cincinnati Enquirer, March 17, 2013. Dinner is available by reservation, at a cost of $7.50. To place a reservation, email Wavelene Denniston at DCRWReservations@darkegop. org, or call her at 5476477. Reservations must be made before noon on June 5 and reservations placed must be paid. Dinner is served at 6:30 p.m. in the Chestnut Village Center of the Brethren Home Retirement Community in Greenville. Those who wish to only attend the meeting may do so by arriving at 7 p.m. The Darke County Republican Women’s Club meets on the second Monday of every month, except January and August. For more information, contact President Sally Zeiter at DCRWPresident@darkegop.org. The public is invited, and encouraged, to attend.

FATHER’S DAY

Program teaches life skills to troubled men BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER DARKE COUNTY What started out as an idea nearly three years ago, has grown into a program that is making a difference in the lives of troubled young men. Darke County Probation Ofﬁcer John Tabler and Gary Cloyd, a pastor to families at the Castine Church joined together in June 2012 to form what is known as Men’s Fraternity. The program

works on identifying causes of addiction in the lives of local men that have had an encounter with the courts and are currently on probation. It focuses on ways for the men to learn the skills necessary in becoming productive members of society and positive role models at home. The program was presented to Darke County Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan Hein and Chief Probation Of-

ficer James Mollette for their approval and to give the go-ahead. “Positive role models are getting harder to find these days,” Judge Hein stated. “This is a way to bring willing volunteers together and learn life skills needed for a strong family.” The program is not a stipulation of probation, nor is it an order from the judge. Tabler and his fellow adult probation officers review

the individuals they are currently monitoring and choose who may be good candidates for the program and who would gain the most from it. “We offer it to the guys and it is totally up to them if they want to give it a try,” Tabler said. “We don’t hold it against them if they turn it down or don’t make it to graduation.” The program is setup for three yearly stages. The first year is called the Quest for Authentic Manhood, which focuses on finding the causes for addiction and behavior and learning to deal with it in a positive way to become a better man. The graduates of the first step are required to write a “manhood plan” they share with the group and tell how they are going to change things in their life making a better future. The second year of the program, called Winning at Work and at Home, teaches the men how to cope with everyday issues that arise in their family and employment settings. It gives them the tools to make better decisions and make a positive difference at work and home. The final year of the program, the Great Adventure, is a look to a new and brighter future for the men that have now come to terms with their issues and have developed a lifestyle to surely make a difference. Since the program’s launch in June 2012, 36 men have graduated

GREENVILLE – Each of the past 22 summers Dave Knapp Ford has agreed to donate a new car to the participant lucky enough to hit a hole-in-one on the designated hole at the Youth for Christ of the Miami Valley Golf Classic. Thus far, no one has claimed this prize. This year, a shiny Ford Focus is at stake. June 25 is the date for the Youth for Christ outing, which will take place at White Springs Golf Club. There will be prizes for several golﬁng contests and many wonderful door prizes. But some of the best rewards are reserved for those who use the outing as an opportunity to greatly further the mission of Youth for Christ. Golfers in the YFC Classic have their choice of “paying to play” or collecting pledges to more signiﬁcantly help YFC. This year’s top four fundraisers will choose between a golf trip at the Deer Creek State Park Resort, two very nice golf clubs, a $100 Hibbett Sports gift card, and a $100 Ace gift card. While a team can register for as little as $350 and an individual can play for $100, those wanting to help even

more can sign up for a “Gold Class Upgrade.” Those with a Gold Class Upgrade are entitled to everything received by other golfers, but will also receive a tournament golf shirt and exclusive amenities such as steak sandwiches, special side dishes, a gift bag, and free chair massage. Teams can register with a Gold Class Upgrade for $700 and individual golfers can have a Gold Class Upgrade by paying or raising at least $300. The lasting beneﬁt of the Youth for Christ ministry is what leads several dozen local businesses to provide sponsorship for the tournament, including the Littman-Thomas Agency, Fitzwater Tree and Lawn Service, and White Springs Golf Club who are providing the lead sponsorship this year. Several more golfers and business sponsors are still needed in order for this year’s outing to provide even more support for ministry than last year. Those interested in either of these opportunities should call Youth for Christ at 5482477 or e-mail YFC at ofﬁce@yfcmv.org.

Fourman celebrates 50 anniversary at BRC

Participants and volunteers for the Moose Lodge 329 EZ-ID event are: Link Polling, Tom Nichols, Ted Bruner, Josh Brinley, Christine Lennon, Steve Wenning, Ed Floyd, Steve Marshall, Chris Norris, Russ Thompson, Dennis Butts and Vicki Yount.

Moose Lodge distributes profits from ID event BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR GREENVILLE – “No man is so tall as when he stoops to help a child…” This cartoon of a quote from President Abraham Lincoln was given to first responders and other service organizations – along with a check – for their role in The Greenville Moose Lodge No. 329 Safe Surfin’ EZ-ID Event. According to Ed Floyd, the Moose volunteer who organized the event, 195 children and 11 senior citizens received ID kits and a CD with all pertinent information law enforcement agencies needed to help finding the missing individual.

The event took place on May 3. On May 24 proceeds from donations and raffle drawings were distributed among the agencies participating. Total donations came to $2,090; ticket sales came to $1,345, for a total of $3,435. After expenses a balance of $1,925 was left for distribution. Proceeds were equally divided among five first responder groups: City of Greenville Fire for fire prevention materials, City of Greenville Police for crime prevention materials, Greenville Township Fire for fire prevention materials, Greenville Township Rescue for EMS education materials and Darke County

Sheriff Coats for Kids. A donation was also made to Safe Surﬁn’ and a local youth group will receive a donation at a future date. Three ‘Tommy the Moose’ dolls were given to the agencies most likely to respond to situations in which children may have been traumatized: The Darke County Sheriff, Greenville Police Department and Greenville Township Rescue. Floyd thanked all those who helped pull off the event… local businesses, Moose members and private citizens who volunteered. “It makes me proud to say I am from Greenville, Ohio,” he said.

The official opening of the Old Arcana Eating House & Events took place with a ribbon-cutting by the Darke County Chamber of Commerce.

161 year-old building gets new life BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR ARCANUM – The Old Arcana Eating House & Events had its ofﬁcial opening May 15 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony by the Darke County Chamber of Commerce. According to Jeffery Besecker, the Arcana is “Arcanum’s little secret.” “We kicked around about two dozen historical aspects,” he said, “then went with this.” The Old Arcana web-

site notes its purpose best: “Hidden away in a quaint Ohio village surrounded by fertile land and family farms, The Old Arcana combines the magic of great food and soul inspiring music in a charming, historic environment.” The food is farmgrown, coming from local farms where possible. “It is real, whole, minimally processed and prepared from scratch.” The music will come

from well-known musicians “from all over.” It ranges from bluegrass and gospel, to folk and the blues. “Our music is honest and real.” The Old Arcana, owned and operated by Besecker, Leslie Handshoe-Suter and Shannon Clark, is open Tuesday through Sunday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. The second ﬂoor of the 1853 building is available for special events.

BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR GREENVILLE – “The rumors are not true,” said Melissa Benline, RN, director of Assisted Living at the Brethren Retirement Community. “Jean (Fourman) is not retiring.” The rumor may have been started when it was announced a celebration would take place to celebrate Jean’s 50th anniversary as a nurse’s aide at the Brethren Retirement Community. The 68-year old reiterated she is not quite ready to retire. “I love it,” she said. “I like working with people.” According to Benline, Jean has a way of connecting with people. If there is a resident that is hard to reach, Jean is the person they call to help interact with that person. Proof of her abilities was on display at the celebration. A resident who never comes out of her room made her way to the celebration because of her

friendship with Jean. Jean has seen a lot of changes over the years. Most of the building hadn’t even been built when she started. Two of the original buildings have been torn down and one area that housed residents has been turned into ofﬁces for the administration. While 50 years may seem like a long time,

Jean is still a few years behind Phyllis Buckingham, nurse, who has served 54 years. She won’t commit to be around that long; her goal is to work until she is 70 years old. “I’ve taken care of a lot of people and then their daughters,” said Jean. She has now begun taking care of some of their grandchildren.

“We should appreciate them more than we do” BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR GREENVILLE – Jordyn Warren comes from a family of Navy veterans… both great grandmothers, both great grandfathers… grandfather a Marine… uncle in the Navy. She understands Memorial Day. “They gave me the freedom to stand here and not worry about getting shot… we should appreciate them a lot more than we do,” she said following the Memorial Ceremony at Greenville Cemetery. Her sentiments were echoed earlier by an older gentleman on South Broadway prior to the start of the parade. “When I was a kid in the country growing up,” Roger Mayer said, “We would come into town and the streets were lined up and down Broadway… I wish there were more people here.” He pointed to a man wearing a service Tshirt. “It is because of people like him we can do this,” he added. In front of the Greenville Library the VFW Auxiliary parade trailer was setting up. As in years past, the Darke County Veterans van was there… the American Legion van was in line toward the front. The Greenville High School Band of Pride was in the parking lot across the street and emergency

Three ladies were on the parade route, as they were every year, thanking veterans for their service.

vehicles were ready to take their places. As in years past the VFW Honor Guard was preparing to take the lead, followed by the GHS NJROTC. As in years past, veterans who paid the ultimate price were honored for their sacriﬁce on May 26. The 2014 Memorial Day event was not without its challenges. According to Greenville Mayor Mike Bowers the committee had been disbanded following the 2013 parade. He’d only found out about it a few weeks earlier. Bowers did the footwork and got it set up for 2014, earning the thanks of the Greenville City Council on May 20. At exactly 1 p.m. the parade started, then stopped at the Darke County Courthouse for ﬂowers to be placed at the memorial. The pa-

rade stopped again at the Greenville Creek Bridge. Those lost at sea were remembered and honored; then the parade moved to Greenville Cemetery for the Memorial Day service. Assistant Darke County Prosecutor and Lt. Col. in the Ohio National Guard Jessie Green spoke to about 150 people about the “old soldier never dying but just fading away.” Wrong, he said. They do die… that is why we are here. The Honor Guard saluted those lost and wreaths were laid at the monument to Darke County’s veterans. The Greenville Band performed; NJROTC’s Semantha McCann gave the Gettysburg Address. Green thanked those who attended on behalf of those being honored.

Local oncology nurse is a bright light in Darke County GREENVILLE – Jill Brown RN, BSN, OCN, CBCN, a certiﬁed oncology nurse at Wayne HealthCare was recently recognized at the annual Oncology Nursing Society conference in Anaheim, CA. The conference included four days of fresh thinking for nurses. They discussed how to tackle the world of cancer care, from symptom management and treatment innovations to leadership, research, and administration, while also receiving continued nursing education hours. Brown was nominated by Daniel P. McKellar, MD, FACS, Commission on Cancer chair and director of the Wayne HealthCare Cancer Program. The Extraordinary Healer Award for Oncology Nursing provides pa-

tients and peers a unique opportunity to honor an oncology nurse. All of the nominations were compiled and published in the Extraordinary Healers: CURE Readers Honor Oncology Nurses, Volume 7. The publication received many inspirational submissions from patients, survivors, caregivers and health professionals describing the compassion, expertise and helpful care received from special nurses on their oncology team. When asked about the nomination, Brown said, “I am very grateful and honored to be among these nominees across the nation. I am inspired everyday by my patients and my fellow oncology nurses.” Brown was unaware

the nomination had been published until she visited a special booth at the conference. She suggested to her colleague, Heather Krammer RN, OCN that it would be nice to see if someone from Ohio was listed in the Extraordinary Healers publication. After browsing the book, Brown re-

alized that not only had someone from Ohio been nominated, the nomination was about her. Brown, who lives in Arcanum with her husband, is proud of living in a small rural farm community. She has been an oncology nurse for more than 20 years. She has extensive expe-

rience providing chemotherapy as a navigator, home health nurse, clinical trials nurse and as an instructor in chemotherapy and biotherapy. With the knowledge and years of experience as an oncology nurse, Brown remains dedicated to caring for patients in the Darke County community. Working in a small rural facility requires Brown to wear many hats to provide cancer patients with the care and support they need. She was instrumental in helping establish the cancer program at Wayne HealthCare, including creating tumor boards, a cancer committee and a cancer registry, which helped them to receive accreditation by the Commission on Cancer in 2010

and again in 2013 to earn its prestigious Outstanding Achievement Award for a second time. Dr. McKellar spoke very highly of Ms. Brown. “I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this award than Jill. She is truly passionate about oncology nursing and puts quality and safety at the forefront of her care. Her passion shines through in her voice, her touch and her expressions as she interacts with patients, families and co-workers,” said McKellar. With May being Oncology Nursing Month, this is a great opportunity to provide awareness about the advanced cancer care close to home and more importantly Jill Brown, our bright light in Darke County.
