Students leave their mark with community tiles SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – A touch of color has been added to the courtyard at Greenville Middle School through a community tiles project. Julie Brewer’s ﬁfth- and sixth-grade art students spent time this year learning about creating art using clay. “These

tiles made by the ﬁfth- and sixth-graders were inspired by the famous clay mosaics of Henri Matisse and a local Cincinnati artist, Sarah Horn,” Brewer said. “Students discussed the importance of the new school building and wishes they might have for it to be a great place for a long time to come.” H o r n ’ s

A tile created by fifthgrader Grace Barhorst features touching tree branches, representing friendship.

work includes varying sizes of clay tiles featuring etchings of Cincinnati’s landmarks. The Greenville students were given the assignment to create their very own tile depicting being part of a community. Each student started with a lump of clay, made their very own square tile with their chosen design. The tiles were ﬁred and glazed, then embedded in sand in the ground around the walkways of the courtyard. The project, said Gracie Thacker, 12, “shows how to take care of our community, our environment and school grounds.” Many of the tiles represent personal expressions. Others offer a wider world view. For example, Ty Bush, 12, created a tile featuring purple balloons. “When my grandma died we released purple balloons. Purple was her favorite color,” Bush explained.

Thacker, a sixth-grader, created a tile with a drawing of the world sporting a peace sign to promote world peace. Thirteen-year-old Chloe Brown’s tile was a drawing of a heart “to show caring and show peace to the world.” Carrying on the world peace theme was Kena Jenkinson, 12, who drew peace ﬂags, a subject she studied earlier this year in art class. After every art project is completed, Brewer has her students write a short essay about what they’ve learned from their experience. Fifth-grader Grace Barhorst’s tile featured two trees with touching branches. In her essay, Barhorst said “I wish that everyone could have a friend. I show friendship in my image because branches growing together is like friends holding hands, which represents friendship.” Brewer said she came up with the idea for the clay project last summer. “I knew I wanted to do something in our garden space,” she explained. “As a student going through school here (Greenville)

and waiting for the levies to pass, I had to do a little bit of waiting. I just wanted

every one of my students, the ﬁrst in the new building, to leave their mark.”

GREENVILLE – Construction on the new Greenville City Schools track and ﬁeld complex is ofﬁcially underway as the large equipment rolled in and has started moving dirt. “We are in the early stages of the excavation process here at the track facility,” said Greenville Athletics Director Dusty Yingst. “They pulled in equipment last Wednesday – worked some ground on Wednesday and Thursday.” “They have it down to bare dirt right now,” continued Yingst. “Surveyors

are out here today to start that process, then they can begin the undercutting stage of the excavation to start moving forward even quicker.” A concession stand was coming down as Yingst looked across the open ﬁeld to the south. “They are demolishing the concession stand building that was used by the Pee Wee (football) Association – getting that out of the way,” noted Yingst. “Hopefully before we know it the track and stadium ﬁeld as we know it now will be all ground up and tore out and they’ll start the excavation over there as well.” “There are many ways to get involved,” Yingst

said of the new Greenville athletic complex. “We have the Friends of Harmon Field website, you can contact the athletic ofﬁce and talk to Dusty Yingst or contact Dave Ernst or Jon McGreevey.” “We are always willing to sit down and talk to people and explain the process, where we’re at with the project and where we are headed with the next parts of this project,” added Yingst. ”There are still some naming rights possibilities out there with donations with the second phases of this project.” Go to: www.friendsofharmonﬁeld.com to learn more about how you can help and to follow the progress of the project.

GREENVILLE – Greenville’s downtown traffic circle seemed a little brighter this past Memorial Day, thanks to members of American Legion Post 140. On Friday, May 26, about a dozen Post members took time to place 38 American flags around the circle on brand new stainless steel flag poles. According to project leader Steve Black, the Post’s galvanized steel flag poles were starting to look old and rusty. “We wanted to beautify the circle for Memorial Day and honor all existing and former veterans,” Black said. “We’re polishing up the downtown.” Post 140 has been “polishing up” the traffic circle with flags for the past 40 years, Black said, explaining some of the 38 flags were donated by area families following the death of a loved one. Memorial Day is the first of five holidays the Post’s new flag poles with flags will be displayed around the traffic circle, Black said. “We put them up for Memorial Day, Flag Day (June 14), the Fourth of July, Labor Day and Veteran’s Day.” Black and Post 140 want

arrival, the officer spoke with an employee of Integrity, who said she observed the boy riding the bike. He had no shoes or socks and could not tell the officer his address. He said he was 5 years old, was in foster care and he just decided to go for a bike ride. The child also admitted to stealing a Snickers candy bar. The officer attempted to find information through Darke County Children Services on the child, but no info was available. After contacting other area children’s service organizations, it was determined the child had been placed through Isaiah’s Place in Montgomery County and the child had given an incorrect name for his foster parent. The foster parent was located and told to pick the child up at Greenville Police Department. She told the officer she had put the child down for a nap, then went to take a nap herself. The child left the residence during that time. The foster parent said she was recently licensed to take children into her home. She was issued a summons for endangering children. The incident was reported to Montgomery County Children Services. According to the police report, the child rode the bike 1.6 miles from his home to the Integrity Ambulance Service area. Drugs

On May 25 an officer conducted a traffic stop on Martin Street for a nonworking license plate light. Upon making contact with the driver of the car, Rebecca Blanton, the officer detected an odor of marijuana coming from inside the car. When the officer asked about the odor, the front seat passenger, William Blanton said he had a marijuana pipe in his front pants pocket. William Blanton voluntarily handed the officer the pipe, which contained residue inside. He also admitted the pipe had been used recently to smoke marijuana. The pipe was sealed and taken as evidence. William Blanton was issued a misdemeanor citation for possession of drug paraphernalia. Rebecca Blanton was given a

warning for the vehicle defect violation. On May 31 officers were dispatched to the 100 block of West Fourth Street in reference to the report of a suspicious male. The complainant told dispatch the male ran by her residence, then laid down in the street behind a parked vehicle. An officer located the subject, Dustin Kenworthy, who was partially in the roadway squatted down while holding on to a parked vehicle. His face was turning blue and his eyes kept rolling to the back of his head. Kenworthy was incoherent and he was not able to answer questions the officer asked. The Greenville Rescue was called to the scene due to Kenworthy’s actions being consistent with that of a drug overdose. While waiting on rescue, Kenworthy on several occasions would close his eyes then fall forward as if he was going to pass out. The police officers were able to get Kenworthy to lay flat on the ground so he would not fall and strike his head. Once on the ground, Kenworthy went completely unconscious. Greenville Rescue arrived on the scene shortly after and administered several doses of Narcan before he finally became conscious. Kenworthy told the officers and paramedics he had snorted cocaine earlier in the day. Kenworthy signed a refusal of medical treatment form and told officers he was on probation through Montgomery County for possession of fentanyl, heroin and cocaine. Kenworthy was issued a misdemeanor citation for disorderly conduct due to being voluntarily intoxicated and engaging in a conduct that presented a risk of physical harm to himself. Kenworthy also created a risk of physical harm to motorists in the 100 block of West Fourth Street. He was released to a friend. DUI

The officer also found a passenger, Austin Barron had an active warrant for his arrest for contempt of court. Barron was placed under arrest and transported to the Darke County Jail where he was incarcerated and will serve 89 days. Ford was given a warning for the license vio-

lation. On May 31 an officer was dispatched to the Darke County Courthouse in reference to a male subject who wanted to turn himself in due to an outstanding warrant from the police department. Upon arrival, the officer met with an adult probation officer who said David Elliott wanted to have the warrant cleared. Elliott was handcuffed and transported to the Darke County Jail. The original charge was failure to appear on the charge of possession of a drug abuse instrument. Bond was set at $775. Vandalism

On May 26 an officer was dispatched to Greenville City Park on the report of graffiti at the concession stand. The officer made contact with Mark Middlecoff, director of the Darke County Person Centered Services, whose clients work the concessions. Middlecoff told the officer the graffiti had been written on the structure sometime on May 25 or earlier on May 26. The graffiti was written with permanent marker. The officer took photos of the evidence. Middlecoff said he would have the building painted to cover the graffiti.

County to apply for additional FAA grant BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – Darke County Commissioners on Wednesday approved a motion to apply for a grant to continue with planned improvements at the county airport. The 2017 FAA Airport Improvement Program requires pre-application for the grant, which would be used for the planned 300foot runway expansion, including milling and overlay work, runway lighting,

a 38.006- acre easement acquisition, obstruction removal and lighted runway closure crosses. Plans to upgrade the county airport and extend the runway will allow for planes to take off with additional fuel and cargo needed for longer ﬂights. The airport improvements will beneﬁt local manufacturers and hopefully entice other businesses to consider locating to Darke County in the future, commissioners believe.

Schaefer had failed to maintain assured clear distance and ran into a car in front of her. No visible damage to either car was detected.

ON YOUR MIND

READERS WRITE Trust I needed strawberries for my Niece’s birthday pie and a sign; “STRAWBERRIES” pulled me right in. Just as I arrived and the newly picked strawberries arrived in a golf cart, the owner set his produce on a table with a sign that said self serve. He apologized for his strawberries and said the rain had hurt them. They were perfect. No mold, No white centers, no soft mushy spots. Every single one, as I cleaned them was as perfect as anyone could select themselves. The rain may have hurt his yield, and perhaps they needed a little extra care in washing, but they were sweet succulent perfection. On the table was a Cash Box that had a stack of 20’s, 10’s, 5’s and 1’s; plus assorted coins. I would es-

timate there was probably over $1000 in that box, just sitting by the strawberries unattended. I put in a $20 and took back $4. The ladies that pulled in while I was there put their $20 each in the box and each took out their $4. This repeated and in no time at all the strawberries were claimed and everyone drove off, with that cash box still sitting on the table unattended. I remember Grandma selling peaches like that, but I never remember her leaving that amount of cash. I felt nostalgia. Every time my faith in America falters, I feel proud that I live in an area where that kind of trust and faith still happens. It works. Karyl Parks, Greenville

Gibbons announces run for U.S. Senate CLEVELAND – Cleveland businessman Mike Gibbons announced his campaign for the Republican nomination for United States Senate on a conference call this evening. Gibbons is a 2002 recipient of Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year Award and the founder and partner of Brown Gibbons Lang & Company, one of the most widely-respected national middle-market investment banks in the country. Gibbons said, “Washington is broken, and career politicians like Sherrod Brown have failed us. We need new leadership in the United States Senate.” He added, “I know how to create jobs because I’ve taken the risk and created jobs. I’m a businessman. I’ve signed the front of a paycheck. Washington politicians always talk about how they want to create jobs, but politicians don’t create jobs, businesses do. We need to get the bureaucracy out of the way, cut taxes, reduce red tape, and end the backroom deals and corruption in Washington.” Gibbons was born in

He then returned to the area and worked for the Miami and Auglaize Soil and Water Conservation Districts for eight years, specializing in drainage and nutrient management.

ways be an ECO monitoring the lobby and surveillance cameras covering the parking lot. This means if something would take a turn for the worse there is always someone there that can immediately send an ofﬁcer to assist you. If the City of Greenville makes the detrimental decision to close our dispatch there will not be anyone behind the window to assist you. You will have to use a phone in the lobby to contact the Darke County Sheriff’s Department where you will reach an automated recording asking you to choose which division you wish to speak with. Imagine that you are in a situation where you come to the Police Department because you believe someone will be there to help you and you ﬁnd an empty building. Imagine that you are at the Police Department dropping off or picking up a child and things turn violent with the other parent. Would you rather have a live person there to immediately assist you or a phone that will reach a recording? The Darke County Commissioners have stated they will offer dispatching services to the City of Greenville at no cost. First of all you have to ask yourselves why they would take on the added call volume and responsibilities for free. They have already stated they are not willing to sign a long-term contract, or any contract with the City of Greenville. This means once the Greenville Dispatch is closed and at the mercy of the Darke County Sheriff’s Department they can begin charging the city whatever amount they choose. The only recourse the city would have at that point would be

to reopen their dispatch at astronomical costs. There was also reluctance to develop a grievance procedure in case of errors made by dispatchers. Dispatchers are human beings and mistakes are inevitable. The Greenville Police Department has procedures in place to handle these mistakes. If the public or someone within the department feels a call was mishandled they are able to make a complaint that will be thoroughly looked into. If necessary, discipline or retraining may be given to the ECO that was at fault. If the Darke County Sheriff’s Department takes over dispatching for the City of Greenville there is no guarantee that this will be the same. One final point to consider is the fact that the Greenville Police Department and the Darke County Sheriff’s Department serve as back up dispatch centers for each other. That means if the phones or radios go down at one location the other dispatch office can be utilized for emergency services until repairs are made. If the Greenville Police Department Dispatch is closed and the phones or radios go down at the Darke County Sheriff’s Department there will not be a backup which would be extremely dangerous for the citizens and first responders. The Darke County Sheriff’s Department dispatchers are a great group of people and we have a great respect for the jobs they do every day. There is just not a replacement for having someone local that will make our citizens, police officer, and firefighters their highest priority.

Lady Wave Softball Coach Coach Jerrod Newland eyes 2018 GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

Greenville Lady Wave Softball Coach Jerrod Newland ďŹ nishes his 15 season at the helm of the LWSB program with an impressive 397-78 career varsity record, better than an 80 percent (.804) winning record. To put Newlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winning percentage in perspective; Major League Baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legendary Sparky Anderson had a career .545 winning percentage, Leo Durocher .540, Joe Torre .538, Dusty Baker .530, LAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tommy Lasorda .526, the great Casey Stengel .508 with the all-time Major League coaching leader from many years ago, Joe McCarthy weighing in with a whopping .615 winning percentage. Four LWSB seniors, Alli

Hill, Karsyn Shaffer, Lauren Baughn and Makayla Hanes totaled 107 career wins for GHS translating into 27 percent of Coach Newlands career coaching wins coming during the careers of the four 2017 Lady Wave seniors. Coach Newland is proud of the strong LWSB winning tradition but is not one to rest on his laurels and is already eyeing the 2018 season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the dust has settled and the Akron trip scratched, LWSB turns to 2018,â&#x20AC;? said Newland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It amazes me in the 72 hours after it ends how the invitations to prestigious tournaments begin to arrive.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been invited/ selected to play in ďŹ ve major tournaments,â&#x20AC;? continued Newland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This makes me so proud of where our program is at and where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heading.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the GWOC sched-

uling 15 of our 27 games that leaves us 12 games to try and get smacked around,â&#x20AC;? added Newland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just love to play elite competition and have our student athletes be seen by softball eyes and schools.â&#x20AC;? The past three LWSB seasons have seen 100 percent of the GHS Lady Wave softball players receive scholarships to continue the game they love while continuing their education at the college level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a handful of kids in the pipeline that have very lofty goals for the next level,â&#x20AC;? noted Newland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will look to elevate their game to play not only at the collegiate level but play at it very, very competitively. With ESPN showing 1,000 percent more college games, kids are going to fall in love with it and want to reach it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to see what

the 2018 schedule can look like to see how we can get the LWSB name out there,â&#x20AC;? said Newland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some students who

can play the game and get free college from it. I always enjoy dreaming big. We enjoy being the small ďŹ sh in the ocean and not

the big ďŹ sh in the pond.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;2018 schedule will be released in the fall with Mr. Yingstâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval,â&#x20AC;? Newland concluded.

PITSBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Franklin Monroe senior, Allyson Masterson, daughter of Tamie Masterson-Eley signed to continue her education while competing for the Wittenberg University Lady Tigers track and ďŹ eld team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thrilled because track was always my favorite sport,â&#x20AC;? said Masterson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be able to continue that in college is like a dream come true for me.â&#x20AC;? Masterson plans to run sprints at the college level as well as throw the Javelin at Wittenberg University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty explosive athlete â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a lot of strength in a very compact size,â&#x20AC;? Franklin Monroe track and ďŹ eld Coach Rick Ingold stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that works well for her in shorter sprints. She has a lot of will, that heart, that desire â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that desire comes in pretty big when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re running in sprints like that.â&#x20AC;? The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campus and academics also played a major role in attracting Masterson to the Spring-

ďŹ eld college. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their campus is beautiful especially in the fall,â&#x20AC;? Masterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their academics is something that really impressed me and they offer a minor I was interested in.â&#x20AC;? Masterson plans to major in history with a minor in archaeology, choosing Wittenberg, a university that offers excavations on campus. Wittenberg also offers excavations on campus so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more opportunities to get experience,â&#x20AC;? noted Masterson. Joining Masterson on the Wittenberg 2018 Track

and Field team and soon to be college roommate, will be FM teammate Hannah Eley, also a 2017 Wittenberg signee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obviously a great opportunity for these two athletes to go on and continue their career at the collegiate level,â&#x20AC;? said Ingold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are more than deserving of that honor.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the course of their four, ďŹ ve years, however long they contribute to the program there at Wittenberg, I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re deďŹ nitely going to leave their mark there,â&#x20AC;? added Ingold.

oďŹ&#x192;ciating under his belt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started back in the early â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s out in California when I was in the Marines,â&#x20AC;? McCartney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I moved back to Ohio I started oďŹ&#x192;ciating just summer league and rec ball. I ďŹ nally decided to take my test and get my license to oďŹ&#x192;ciate OHSAA high school baseball.â&#x20AC;? One can often hear the athletes on the Darke County ball diamonds jokingly telling the admired umpire they will be stopping in for free ice cream at his local business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once I walk on the ďŹ eld its business,â&#x20AC;? McCartney noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not partial to any one person. Even if they know me â&#x20AC;Ś they know I will ring them up at the plate on a strike three or punch them out on a bang-bang play at ďŹ rst, so there is no favoritism anywhere. Some of

them do tease me or give me a hard time about the ice cream store and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all in good fun.â&#x20AC;? McCartney belongs to the Darke County Umpires Association and the West Central Ohio Umpires Association. McCartney keeps busy umpiring a high school schedule from midMarch through mid-May before summer leagues start up keeping the Greenville umpire busy through the end of November while working fall tournaments. As with all OHSAA ofďŹ cials, McCartney encourages men and women alike to get involved with Ohio High School Athletic Association oďŹ&#x192;ciating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now there is a shortage of umpires (all sports) across the state,â&#x20AC;? said McCartney. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you love the game of baseball

Eley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been blessed with the opportunity to compete and be a competing athlete for the CCC (Cross County Conference), and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to go on to college and continue it.â&#x20AC;? The Franklin Monroe senior plans to compete in the discus, hammer throw, weight throw and shot put with plans to study childhood education at the SpringďŹ eld school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We took a visit back in November and I just absolutely fell in love with the campus,â&#x20AC;? stated Eley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have really good programs there and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just excited to go.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hannah is a really strong athlete,â&#x20AC;? said Franklin Monroe track and ďŹ eld Coach Rick Ingold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that makes her as successful as she has been because she just naturally has strength and that translates as well to the throwing events.â&#x20AC;?

Horse racing is a much larger industry in the state than most Ohioans realize according to Woebkenberg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem we as an industry have; we are agricultural oriented,â&#x20AC;? stated Woebkenberg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The general public has no concept that we employee in the state of Ohio more people than Procter and Gamble and Toyota combined. The problem is, we are in all 88counties.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Procter and Gamble

closed in Cincinatti it would be terrible,â&#x20AC;? continued Woebkenberg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cincinatti would close down, but because the race horses is in 88-counties â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there are counties where we have very few people in them. Darke County with Greenville here is very, very strong in the race horses and we have a very strong economic impact to the agriculture industry in the state of Ohio.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;County fairs basically started when farmers were racing against one another for blue ribbons, money or whatever,â&#x20AC;? pointed out Greenville resident and former State Representative Jim Buchy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was back 150-175 years ago.

Manges said of his signing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enjoyed every year throughout junior high and high school that I had the opportunity to play, so to have the chance to go and play in college â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really looking forward to that.â&#x20AC;? The faith based college played into Mangesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; choice of higher education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I talked to schools; Grace and Cedarville for those reasons,â&#x20AC;? noted Manges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was deďŹ nitely a big impact on it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the ďŹ rst time I visited the college, I really liked the atmosphere and the professors and the way they treated me on campus,â&#x20AC;? said Manges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just felt right.â&#x20AC;?

didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t race cars back then, we raced horses.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been a fan of the horse race industry since my grandfather got me hooked on harness racing when I was a teenage here at the Darke County Fair,â&#x20AC;? Buchy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my legislative career I was involved in two major issues that have helped the industry.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;First was known as simulcast wagering which we passed legislation in the 1990â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s which allowed to send signals from the racetrack to be sent out all over the world so people could wager on the horses,â&#x20AC;? continued Buchy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been very helpful to the industry.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The second thing that

was good was when the voters passed the casino legislation,â&#x20AC;? noted Buchy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when we come up with racinos which are basically VLTsâ&#x20AC;Śvideo lottery terminals. You would call them slot machines.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we was able to do, by law a certain percentage of the proďŹ ts from that wagering goes back to the industry so that the industry could grow and when I say grow I mean grow in

terms of making it lucrative to race for larger purses and to grow the number of standardbreds and thoroughbreds that are produced in Ohio.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This all comes back to agriculture which is what we are about here in Darke County and West Central Ohio,â&#x20AC;? concluded Buchy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What the VLTs have done is just help explode positively the growth of the equine industry in Ohio.â&#x20AC;?

Hollansburg begins summer lunch program

A variety of bicycles never seen before at the Versailles Area Museum will be on display through Poultry Days.

VAM bicycle display set to roll down the road VERSAILLES – You can almost feel that warm summer breeze blowing gentle on your face as you peddle the back roads of North Star or Willowdell on your shinny new bicycle. What if that bike were a Dayton or Hawthorn? You say you’ve never heard of these bicycles? A trip over the Poultry Days weekend to the Versailles Museum is a must! The museum will give you a sample of early bicycles rode on the back roads of Shelby and Darke County at the end of the 19th century. Thanks to the generosity of Evelyn and Art Gaier, the VAM is pleased to have been home to this wonderful display of bicycling in from our area. The display, “Peddling Down the Road” includes a wonderful panoramic photo of early Versailles around 1908 taken from the book “Views of Versailles” probably from the top of the old Elevator located near the corner of Williams and Main streets. Bicycles are arranged to show off their original look.

Painstakingly restored and prepared for this display, Mr. Gaier has spent many hours in preparing for this notable display. Two unique pieces include a big wheeler complete with a replica of the riders outﬁt, and an Irish Mailer that any child would have not only enjoyed but have been the envy of the neighborhood. Most of these wonderful bicycles soon to leave have not been seen in the museum before this display. An exception to that would be the very popular previously displayed “Fairy Cart” that appeared several years ago in our “Street Where You Lived” display. To enhance this wonderful display, cabinet items include wonderful accessories for your bicycle. This includes early lighting, bells and whistles, all to make your ride the safest and best around. The museum is open each Sunday from 1-4 p.m. or by appointment. This great display leaves right after Poultry Days.

Summer concert schedule announced

GREENVILLE – Music will continue in the Greenville City Park this summer with presentations from the Greenville Municipal Concert Band. The old band shell has been removed and construction on the new shell is set to begin very soon. Since the construction of the Marling Band Shell in 1934, the Greenville City Park has enjoyed great entertainment provided by the Greenville Munici-

pal Concert Band and this year will be no different. Concerts will be presented beginning July 2 with their Celebration of Independence Day concert. The concert band will perform its summer series on the cement slab in front of the stage area. In case weather might be an issue, the band will perform in the shelter house adjacent to the horseshoe pitching area. All concerts will begin at

7 p.m. Even though the band will perform on the cement slab that housed the park benches, those benches will still be available for seating. You are also welcome to bring your own lawn chairs or blankets to enjoy the shows. They are anticipating another wonderful season with their ﬁne musicians and soloists. It should be rather interesting to enjoy the summer

concerts while the new shell is being constructed behind them. Greenville Municipal Concert Band Summer Schedule: July 2, Concert Band; July 9, Concert Band; July 16, Concert Band; July 23, Jazz Band; July 30, No Concert; Aug. 6, Concert Band; Aug. 13, Concert Band; Aug. 20, No Concert; Aug. 27, Jazz Band; and Sept. 3, Concert Band.

cial night out with the family. Did you work for Chet at Trojan Pizza? What was your favorite pizza? Chet will want to hear your memories too. After making pizzas for 23 years, Wirring then opened an Antique Shop, Furniture Restoration and Chair Caning business at the same location. He still enjoys chair caning. The series will continue July 8 when cheerleaders from squads of different years will lead sports fans down memory lane just as they led teams onto basketball courts and football ﬁelds. They welcome cheerleaders from any squad to

share their experiences and memories. Dr. Jesse Heise, Esther Hoover, Gregg and Patty Spencer will join them Aug. 12 to reminisce about living in Pitsburg. Did you know Pitsburg was founded under the name of “Arnettsville?” Plan to join them for all three sessions. Bring a friend and your stories too. Their guests will want to hear who you remember and what silly things they did. AWTHS is located at 123 W.

Tuesdays With Morrie inspires Ansonia HS ANSONIA – Every year, the English 11 and 12 students at Ansonia High School plan the Pay It Forward Picnic for fellow classmates that centers around their required reading material. The picnic, which has a $5 entry fee for each student, raises funds to be donated toward a non-profit or charity of the school’s choice each year. English teachers Casey Robison and Mary Lochtefeld try to find ageappropriate books with real-life, meaningful topics; Tuesdays With Morrie seemed to fit the bill for the 2016-2017 school year. The memoir, written by Mitch Albom, is about a dying man’s lessons and the importance of living life and giving back to the community. In the book, Morrie requires in-home hospice care, which is why the Tigers chose State of the Heart Care to be a recipient of the funds raised at the picnic. “We know that State of the Heart serves so many local families, and we wanted to contribute to that wonderful cause,” English 9 and 11 teacher Casey Ro-

bison said. “Our students are always eager to pay it forward, and I think after State of the Heart came to our classes to speak about the services they offer to those in need, our students were even more eager to donate to such a great organization.” This year, the picnic had a record turn out with 99 percent attendance and raised over $1,000 for State of the Heart Care. The English 11 and 12 students are required to contact local businesses for donations like food, drinks, plates, utensils and rafﬂe prizes. The students are also responsible for planning the

picnic’s activities as well as preparing the food in addition to reading Tuesdays With Morrie. Asked what the students take away from the event, Robinson said “I think our goal as teachers is to help make our students aware of the world around them and of the importance of giving back to our community. With Morrie, because it is a memoir, I think students were able to realize the difference a single person or single action can have on others.” The funds raised by Ansonia High School will go toward veteran care at State of the Heart.

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Darke County Veterans Services presented a night of comedy Saturday with nationally recognized comedian, Greg Hahn. “I like being around patriotic people,” Hahn told the Early Bird Newspaper. “I’m a big fan of the country myself. It’s kinda the hipsters from where I’m from out in Hollywood – sometimes they will wear you down so you get to the Midwest and you’re around people that are fellow patriots and whatnot. It’s a relief, it’s more fun.” Joining Hahn, a Marine Corps Veteran and regular guest on the Tosh.O Bob and Tom Radio Show, was Jeff Bodart also a guest of the Bob and Tom Radio show, and MC for the night, comedian Doug Morgan. “We put on this comedy show fund raiser to help raise funds to support a trip to Washington, D.C. that we are putting on for Veterans of Darke County,” said Darke County Veterans Services Department Head Tom Pitman. Funds raised from the night of comedy will be used to send Darke County veterans to Washington, D.C. to see the monuments built in their honor and experience out nation’s capital with 100 percent of the night’s proceeds used to pay for the trip. “It’s a three night stay in D.C,” noted Pitman. “We’re going to visit the Veitnam Memorial, the World War II Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery – we are going to be hitting as many war memorials as we can as well as seeing some other sights in Washington.” “We have a mix of Vietnam Veterans, Korean War Veterans and Persian Gulf Veterans going on the trip

along with their spouses,” added Pitman. “We have 53 seats ﬁlled on the bus.” Former Marine and now comedian Greg Hahn was pleased to help the veterans of Darke County, “raise funds slash raise awareness for the posts here,” said Hahn. “Brought up in Florida, born in Pennsylvania, when I was a kid and whisked away to Florida – very complicated,” chuckled Hahn. “I was in the Marines from ’84 to ’88 and I would not have been a comic had I not joined the Marine Corps, because you gotta get in front of people and march them all around. Comedy is almost the same thing except you want to make them laugh instead of march.” “I live in Los Angeles – that’s how you get your showbiz career going. You ruin two cars driving around the Midwest, then you move to New York, then over to LA and once you get to LA, use the airport to come to Greenville,” concluded Hahn with a laugh. The Darke County Veterans along with their spouses will be departing Greenville for Washington, D.C. by chartered bus September 28th and returning October 1st.

GREENVILLE – As most of her classmates get ready to start lives after high school a little closer to home, Victoria Lucy will be heading to Berlin, Germany on Aug. 3. “Both the things I want are there,” Lucy, 18, said Tuesday – on her last day as a student at Greenville High School. Those two things are boyfriend Fabian Bucher and the opportunity to further her education while attending an Americanbased university at European-based prices. Lucy, also a budding artist, plans to begin her postsecondary education by obtaining an undergraduate degree in psychology at Touro College in Berlin. She ﬁrst met Fabian Bucher when he came to GHS as an exchange student. He was a senior and she was a sophomore. The two got acquainted when some of Lucy’s friends invited Bucher to join the high school theater group. “We did the The Three Musketeers that year,” Lucy said. “The theater group was our bubble. We became friends and started dating around prom time.” During the past couple years, their friendship has grown, with Bucher returning twice to visit Lucy and her family. Last summer, Lucy and her uncle, Chad Suitts, traveled to Berlin for a visit with Bucher’s family and to check out Touro College. “I’m not sure where a degree in psychology will send me as far as a career,” Lucy said. “But I just want to help people.” Lucy said her interest in studying psychology grew when she took a class at Edison Community College. “It was really interesting, reading about all the things that go on in the mind.

I’ve just realized a lot of people come from rough backgrounds. Some turn out OK. But some get stuck. I want to ﬁnd out why.” The opportunity to live and study in Europe also will give Lucy a chance to study and grow her love for art, which was nurtured as a Greenville school student. “I took the normal art classes all the way through school. But when I got to high school, I started applying myself.” Lucy’s talent for creating art recently paid off when she became the recipient of the Victoria Lucy poses with her self-portrait in charcoal.

In addition to Latter, Fyffe says there are some special local guests lined up that have once played on The Triangle stage and will help rock the night away. Latter was formed in 2007, and currently has two Darke County members, Fyffe and bass guitarist Tim

GREENVILLE – “Many of us joined the service with little thought of the true price that it may cost us one day. We sign a blank check and that check is our life, if needed. Many men and women over the years have paid that price for our country and our freedom,” said former Greenville NJROTC Chief Steven M. Eldred (ret.). Chief Eldred was the keynote speaker for the Greenville-Union Cemetery annual Memorial Day service. Eldred explained the differences in the holidays related to our mili-

tary, “Veteran’s Day is to remember the veterans. Armed Forces Day is to remember the service members still serving and Memorial Day is to remember those that did not come home.” Chief Eldred noted that we often recognize the sacriﬁce of the service member, but we also need to remember the families. “They lost a father, a son, a daughter, a mother. Don’t let this be about a three-day weekend. Let it be about a day of remembrance. Those that gave it so we can have the freedom that we all enjoy,” he concluded. Also taking part in the annual remembrances

were members of VFW Post 7262, American Legion Post #140, Disabled American Veterans Chapter #57, Greenville High School Marching Band, Greenville High School NJROTC, Chaplain Kenneth Price, John Burkett, Ft. GreeneVille Daughters of the American Revolution and Cadet Ensign Kelly Louck of the GHS NJROTC who read Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. Wreaths were laid at the veteran’s monument at the Darke County Courthouse and a brief ceremony honoring the US Navy was held at the bridge on Broadway.

EATON – Sign up at your local Preble County District Library branch to participate in the Summer Reading Program. This year’s theme is: “The Epic Quest begins @ your Library…” Through the summer, the library will have craft programs, movie nights, story times, building challenges, puzzle rooms, and it’ll culminate with the Preble County Comic Con on July 22 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Eaton Library. The Comic Con will feature cosplay contests, community fan art, comic book illustrator Adam Fields, cosplayer Kelly Turner, green screen photo ops, and more. The ﬁrst 100 attendees will also receive a light-up lightsaber. Each summer, the Preble County District Library encourages all ages to read with themed programs and prizes.

Check the calendar at www.preblelibrary.org or pick up a printed calendar at your local branch for a listing of events. The more you read, the more chances you have to win prizes, like Kings Island tickets, an iPod touch, Lego kits, gift cards, and more. With programs and prizes for kids, teens, and adults, there’s something for everyone. Sign up to get your Summer Reading game board and start tracking your reading time!

Shown is the preschool class that visited the Schmitmeyer Farm in Versailles.

TKA preschoolers visit Versailles farm GREENVILLE – Trinity Kids Academy, 1400 E. Main St., Greenville, went to the dairy farm. Trinity Kids Academy (TKA), a faithbased preschool, has made a huge point to get students familiar with their community this school year. TKA has had the ﬁre department in, visited the local library and went to Brumbaugh’s Fruit Farm, to name a few. Most recently, TKA was led by teachers Lori Lynch and Candace Henne when they visited a local dairy farm in Versailles. Doug and Brenda Schmitmeyer

opened up all the parts of their dairy operation so these preschool students and families could experience a hands-on learning opportunity. The students were able to see “behind the scenes” of tending to cows of all ages and they got to milk a cow if they wanted to. The Schmitmeyer family is living an American dream right here in Darke County as they work together to have a successful farm business, and TKA was thrilled to experience this ﬁrst hand.

FOND is new program offered by DC Parks GREENVILLE – It’s no secret that we all have way too much screen time. According to Scott D. Sampson, author of How to Raise a Wild Child, “The average North American child now spends about seven hours a day staring at screens and mere minutes engaged in unstructured play outdoors, a dramatic transformation within the past generation. Yet recent research indicates that experiences in nature are essential for healthy growth. Regular exposure to nature can help relieve stress, depression, and attention deﬁcits. It can reduce bullying, combat obesity, and boost academic scores.” Darke County Parks are proud to offer a new monthly series, called Family Outdoor Nature Discovery (F.O.N.D.). F.O.N.D. is a timely opportunity for

families to engage in unstructured and purposeful outdoor play in our parks. Naturalists will provide the tools and locations for kids and their parents to explore what-ever nature provides each month. Beginning at the Nature Center at 1 p.m. on June 17, your family will be prepared to venture onto the trails to explore the topic of the month from wetland discovery to fort building. No fee or registration is required, but please be sure to dress for the weather and bring a water bottle. Programs will be held outdoors in all but the most extreme weather conditions. Join them and get outdoors to discover the nature in your backyard. For more information, contact the Nature Center at (937) 548-0165 or email info@darkecountyparks. org.

Shelter beneﬁts from girl’s birthday wish GREENVILLE - Ashton Turpin and her mom, Sarah Rose, made a surprise stop at the Darke County Animal Shelter. Ashton turned eight-years-old and decided, instead of birthday presents for herself; why not help the dogs and cats at the Shelter. She told her family and friends she didn’t want anything for herself but wanted to help the dogs and cats at the Shelter. Her and her Mom brought in everything you could think of – dog food, cat food, dog and cat toys, shampoo, treats, paper towels and the list goes on. The Shelter staff

was so surprised that such a young girl could be so thoughtful and compassionate that she would think of all of our fourlegged friends. Our furry friends at the Shelter were very happy also. The Shelter and the Friends of the Shelter want to thank Ashton and Sarah for being so kind and thinking of our furry four-legged friends. This was a wonderful gift from Ashton and is a true example of her character and upbringing. Her birthday is May 12 so be sure to wish her a happy birthday and thank her for her kind act.

Pictured are Ashton and her mom Sarah with their donation.

torical Society’s Wayne Trail House, Montage Cafe, and the Bistro Off Broadway; DCCA FUNdraisers occur at Turtle Creek and Montage. Versailles Performing Arts Center has often welcomed DCCA performances, sometimes on short notice due to missed connections or unexpected catastrophes elsewhere. Greenville City Schools’ and Darke County Schools’ support and cooperation contribute to DCCA’s ability to present Arts In Education programming to students in each grade of all local public schools. Experience with the arts has been shown to improve academic performance and help students gain life skills; DCCA’s AIE presentations can connect youngsters to other cultures and eras, spark imaginations and inspire creativity. Main Street Greenville and Darke County Visitors Bureau help connect DCCA and its programming to a wider audience through their regional and state-wide communication and marketing efforts. Local foundations and trusts have been linked with DCCA’s success since its very beginning, providing funds necessary to underwrite a stable business model that can attract other donors and additional grants, as well as well-known performing artists. And of course, Greenville Public Library generously donates the office space from which the planning and execution for DCCA’s many activities emanate; DCCA deeply appreciates being part of the Library’s extended family. Everything that DCCA does is overseen by a volunteer board of directors who devote much time and energy to assure that the organization not only provides outstanding productions but also serves the community well. These stalwart citizens set policies enacted by a minuscule staff who are dedicated to providing cultural enrichment that is engaging, entertaining, and diverse. DCCA is grateful to be so well-connected, and thankful to all those who make possible the many benefits accrued through connecting with the arts. Darke County Center for the Arts presents and promotes performing and fine arts encouraging cultural enrichment. For more information contact the DCCA office at (937) 547-0908.

SERVICE DEPARTMENT NOW OPEN-Call for Appointment

CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO – Isaiah Gable of Greenville, has received the Midwest Achievement Award to attend Southeast Missouri State University for the 2017-2018 academic year. Gable is the son of Jim and Liz Gable of Greenville, and is a 2017 graduate of Greenville High School.

GREENVILLE – Connections enrich lives, expanding our reach, inspiring our aspirations, grounding our dreams while extending our possibilities. For Darke County Center for the Arts to succeed in its mission to present and promote performing and fine arts, connections with the community it serves are essential. As a non-profit arts presenter, DCCA’s very existence is dependent upon support from its home community. And our community continues to meet that challenge with fervor and aplomb, a reality for which DCCA is exceedingly grateful. As DCCA approaches 40 years of presenting high quality arts programming, some loyal patrons approach 40 years of attendance at those presentations. At the same time, new audiences are constantly connecting to the wonders that await at a DCCA show. Without this support, DCCA would have joined numerous other such groups who have ceased to exist in communities large and small throughout the country. The dedicated support of DCCA members and sponsors continues to make possible the 50 or so arts experiences offered annually by the organization. Memberships provide the funds which keep DCCA afloat, sponsorships help pay artists’ fees that make it possible for gifted people to make a living by doing what they were born to do. Member and sponsor donations directly connect to the quality of programming DCCA can offer. The existence of Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall provides another reason that DCCA has managed to survive all these years. Other communities envy the majestic space with its impeccable acoustics that can elevate performance levels and heighten transcendent experiences. DCCA greatly appreciates the dedication shown to the maintenance of Memorial Hall by its owner, Greenville City Schools, as well as the cooperative spirit that allows expansive use of the space for arts offerings. In addition to magnificent St. Clair Memorial Hall, DCCA offers presentations in other venues made possible by connecting with local organizations and businesses. The Coffeehouse Series takes place in Union City’s Arts Depot, Arcanum His-
