THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF THE GREAT DARKE COUNTY FAIR!

Drivers to see changes when renewing licenses SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – Beginning July 2, Ohioans will notice a couple of changes as they head out to renew their driver’s licenses. According to a press release from the state BMV, these changes are “an effort to ensure greater security and identification protection for customers, and to comply with federal regulations.” The security changes are part of the REAL ID Act, passed by Congress in 2005. For Ohio, changes include a single, central point of production for state driver’s licenses and identification cards. Licenses and ID cards will no longer be produced while you wait at the deputy registrar’s office. Rather, individuals will receive their new or renewed licenses or ID cards by mail about 10 days after visiting a deputy registrar’s office. A temporary proof of transaction will be issued by the deputy reg-

istrar when drivers renew. According to the press release, this will provide an extra level of security and greater protection against theft and counterfeiting. By making these changes, Ohio is joining 41 other states to provide driver’s licenses and ID cards through the mail. The other change effective July 2 will be the opportunity for drivers to choose to obtain REAL ID-compliant license in the form of a “credential” appearing on their license to show the driver meets requirements to access federal facilities or services. These services include airport security screening by the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) for boarding commercial airlines. This credential applies to those ﬂying within the United States who do not currently have a U.S. Passport. To obtain the credential, customers will be required to provide documentation proving their name and date of birth (birth certiﬁcate, for example), Social Security number, and two additional documents proving residen-

Work wrapping up at Memorial Hall parking lot SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Workers have about two solid weeks of work left before the new St. Clair Memorial Hall parking lot is complete. Greenville City Schools Superintendent said Thursday they are “hoping for good working weather” during the next couple weeks. “They’re putting in the walks now, then will be ﬁnishing up the ﬁnal grading before putting gravel in, then pouring asphalt,” Fries said, with landscaping to be the last project to be completed. The job is being managed by Complete Demolition Services, with sub-contractors providing the paving, sidewalks and landscaping, Fries said. Visitors and school employees also will be dealing with road issues during

the city’s Sweitzer/Fourth Street reconstruction project this summer, and into the new school year. The city began working on the renovation project earlier this month with an end date set for next June. “At some point it will ﬂip and work will get done” in front of Memorial Hall. Fries explained. “That’s why we’re hopeful they’ll get the new parking lot done so people can park there and come in from the side,” Fries said. “We’ll just work through it until it all gets done.” The new lot will offer 92 parking spots – four handicap accessible and is being constructed on the former junior high building site. As part of the school district’s Ohio Facilities Construction Commission project (K-8 building and demolition of former facilities), the site can be utilized for parking and green space.

tial address, such as utility bills. Customers not interested in obtaining the travel credential will still have the option of obtaining a standard driver’s license. According to the state BMV press release, the restrictions requiring secure identiﬁcation for travelers go into effect in October 2020, and Ohio is getting a jump start on this process. Ansonia travel agent Julie Kimmel, an independent agent with Tons of Fun Travel, said this week she has not seen much information from airlines “on what we have to do” when work-

ing with customers planning in-country travel. “The majority of my travel planning is out-ofthe-country travel, so my customers have passports. I would recommend them (all travelers) to get a passport.” Campbell said she’s not sure what kind of impact this new regulation will have on those wishing to travel by air domestically. “I feel that’s what they’re pushing for, is for everyone to get a passport,” she said.

Union City Vietnam casualty remembered LINDA MOODY

CORRESPONDENT

UNION CITY, Ind. – Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7084 in Union City, Ind., hosted the Jonathan L. Stoops Remembrance Ceremony and “Welcome Home/Thank You” Vietnam Veterans Dinner this past Tuesday evening. Guests gathered to remember PFC Jonathan Lynn Stoops, for whom the post is named and who was fatally wounded in action June 6, 1968, in Quang Tri province, at the age of 20. Circumstances of the casualty were attributed to: “Died through hostile action... air crash on land” Serving in Vietnam from 1967-68, with the III MEF/3rd Marine Division, 1st Battalion, 4th Marines, H S Company, he was born Jan. 26, 1948, to Lyle W. and R. Vivian Stoops, who died in 1991 and 1994, respectively. Stoops was a graduate of the Class of 1966, Union City Community High School, and is well remembered by his friends and classmates. Approximately 20 classmates attended

the remembrance. At St. Mary’s Catholic Cemetery, Hetty Scoﬁeld, a classmate, placed a wreath on his grave. Robert Durbin, the incoming commander of the VFW, gave opening remarks, and Fr. Peter Logsdon of St. Mary’s Church, read a passage from the book of Wisdom and led in prayer. “This war broke this country apart and brought out the worst in some people and the best in some people,” Logsdon said. “We lost part of ourselves in the war and we need to remember to bring people back together.” Returning to the VFW excerpts from a story Don Corbin wrote on Stoops was read and fellow Marine John Holguin spoke and Fred Owens and Holguin presented the VFW with a charcoal drawing of the trio. “Here we were, one kid from New Mexico, one from Canada and the other one from Indiana,” said Holguin. “Jonathan was more laid back and mellow than we were. He was in the prime of his life. He was very thoughtful. He was older than both of us; we were louder. It was an

honor to serve with Jonathan. Fred and I have continued our brotherhood.” Classmate Joe Wood, who enlisted in the Marines with Stoops on the buddy system Nov. 27, 1967, remarked, “He was my best friend. In high school, he wanted to go into the Marine Corps and talked me into it. After we got to Vietnam, he went one way and I the other.” “He was a sweet, nice guy...a really nice kid,” said classmate Karen (Fuller) Carpenter. “We all loved him.” Jorge Ortiz, spokesperson for the State of Indiana also spoke as did Randolph County Veterans Service

Ofﬁcer Mike Kennedy. Members of the Stoops family attending were Jonathan’s only living brother, Mark, who now lives in Fremont, Ind.; wife Nanette; sons Kyle and Jay; daughter-in-law Michelle; and granddaughter Kinley. “This has been overwhelming,” Mark said. “Jonathan was a terriﬁc and caring brother. He would obviously do anything for me and I was eight years younger. When you’re 12, you don’t comprehend the gravity of the situation.” A free dinner and drinks followed.

Project would continue city’s move northward RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – There is no doubt the City of Greenville has been moving north over a series of decades. The trend will most likely continue and the city’s administration wants to be proactive in its preparation. Safety Service Director Curt Garrison asked council Tuesday evening if they would like him to proceed in bringing forth the necessary legislation to widen Wagner Avenue north of Walmart to Children’s Home Bradford Road. The project, discussed at a special meeting of council the week before, would widen Wagner Avenue to

ﬁve lanes including a center turn lane as well as installing curbs and sidewalks with the sidewalk on the east side of Wagner extending around the corner on Children’s Home Bradford and connecting to the sidewalk installed by Koenig Equipment at the corner of Children’s Home Bradford and KitchenAid Way. The total cost for the project is estimated to be $1.7 million, but the city would not bear the cost alone. Property owners would be assessed $1.2 million for the project over a period of 21 years. The city’s share would be just over a half-million. Garrison suggested the city could get a 30-year zero interest loan to pay for the construction. The property owners would

pay the ﬁrst 21 years and the city would pay the ﬁnal nine years of the loan. Garrison told council if the city is turned down for the loan the city would not do the project. Mayor Steve Willman said the project and the assessments have his support. With utilities already in place, the project would make the lots shovel ready. Greenville Auditor Roxanne Willman agreed the plan for the project wouldn’t be much different than getting a grant where the city is required to match the funds. In this case, the city’s match is approximately 30 percent. To learn if there was a downside to the plan, Willman said she spoke with Darke County Auditor Carol Ginn who informed

her with this special assessment property owners could not ask for a reduction. Garrison also asked council if they would consider legislation for total street reconstruction regarding South Ohio Street from Martin to Sater. The street would be widened and a new base installed that would accommodate truck trafﬁc better. Although the project would not be completed until 2019, Garrison wants to start engineering this year because the city will most likely need to relocate utility poles. The estimated cost for the project is $577,000 and engineering costs will be $38,000. Council did not object to bringing forth legislation for either project.

him as his neighbor, Dale Leensvaart, who lives in the 100 block of Greenhaven Drive. Leensvaart ran across State Route 49 at which point the complainant stopped since his dog was running with him. The complainant then saw Leensvaart coming back to his residence on Greenhaven Drive and confronted him. The subject still was wearing his only a robe, which was open. Leensvaart told the subject not to call the police because it would ruin his life. The complainant said he was furious and told Leensvaart that he wanted to “beat his **s.” When the officer arrived, he checked the area next to the window for any visible signs of bodily fluids, but did not see anything obvious. After reviewing the complaint it was decided Leensvaart would be issued a citation for voyerism. Officers went to Leenvaart’s residence on May 31 to issue the citation and he asked if could contact the victims to apologize. The officer told him it would be best to wait until after the case was through the court system. The of officer also took six photos of the area, showing both homes. Overdose

On May 27 an overdose was reported at a residence in the 900 block of Washington Avenue. Police found Daniel A. Weaver with drugs and paraphernalia. Weaver, who is homeless, was transported to Wayne HealthCare. The overdose took place at a family member’s home where Weaver had stopped to do his laundry. After starting laundry, Weaver went into the bathroom and closed the door for an unusual amount of time. One of his daughters could hear snoring and Weaver would not answer or open the door. The door was pushed open and Weaver was sitting on the toilet with his head hanging between his legs. He was unresponsive. Paramed-

ics were called and found a silver box sitting on the bathtub with two glass jars. One jar was open and contained an unknown white drug. A second glass jar was covered with a lid and contained a large amount of an unknown white drug. One uncapped syringe was on the ﬂoor beside the toilet. Another capped syringe was found inside the bathtub. All items were taken as evidence and transported to the Greenville Police Department. When ofﬁcers questioned Weaver at Wayne HealthCare, he would not say what kind of drugs were inside the jars. Weaver was crying and stated he didn’t know what was wrong with him and couldn’t believe he did this in front of his girls. Weaver was given doses of Naloxone in the emergency room. The evidence will be sent to B.C.I. in London for analysis with charges pending upon the completion of the analysis.

cer had been at Speedway about 20 minutes prior and the vehicle was parked in the same location and running at that time as well. While driving by the second time, the officer noticed the occupant of the vehicle appeared to be hunched forward towards the steering wheel and was not moving. The officer also observed the vehicle’s windows were foggy with condensation. The vehicle was occupied by Steven Hawk. The officer knocked on the window to get Hawk’s attention. When Hawk had a hard time getting the window down, the officer asked him to open the car door. The officer noticed a baggie containing marijuana on the driver’s side floor board. Hawk told the officer he had been sleeping in the car for about two hours. He said he got off work and came to Speedway to relax just for a second. Hawk was issued a citation for possession.

On June 3 an officer was dispatched to McDonalds, 1301 Wagner Ave. on a drug complaint. The restaurant manager gave the officer a small plastic bag containing marijuana, which was found on the floor where customers pay for their food. The manager said he had no idea who the baggie belonged to. The officer transported the marijuana to the Greenville Police Department, where it was placed into the property room. On June 4 an officer was flagged down by a man in the 300 block of East Fourth Street. The man said while he was working in his yard, he found a small clear baggie containing an unknown rock-like substance. The property was transported to Greenville Police Department where it was placed into the property room. On June 6 an officer observed a vehicle parked on the north side of the Speedway parking lot, 1350 Sweitzer St. The offi-

On May 27 a vehicle was reported stolen from a residence in the 100 block of Montgomery Street. The complainant reported finding the car missing when she woke up. She said the keys were missing from the kitchen. She also said her front door was ajar and a light had been turned on. The complainant also told the responding officer she had kicked her brother, John Haberny out of the apartment and she believed he was the person who took her vehicle. Police went to Haberny’s mother’s residence on Martin Street and the vehicle was located at the rear of the residence. The mother of the victim and the subject told officers she had received a call from her daughter about the car and she found it parked behind her home, still running. She turned off the ignition and went inside to confront her son, who fled the scene when told by his mother the police were on the way. His friend, who had been sleeping in an upstairs bedroom came outside and told police Haberny did break into his sister’s home, take the car keys then drove the car without permission. He said they were going to eventually take the car back to the sister’s home and use her shower. John Haberny will be cited for driving without the owner’s consent when located.

Wanted Person

On May 30 ofﬁcers were dispatched to a residence in the 700 block of East Main Street in reference to a subject with an active warrant. Upon arrival ofﬁcers were able to locate suspect Ryan Klop-

fer, who had an active warrant through the Greenville Police Department. Klopfer was transported to the Darke County Jail where he was incarcerated on the original charge of child endangering. A bond of $1,525 was set. On June 2 an officer responded a residence in the 100 block of Vine Street in Greenville in reference to a wanted person. Greenville Police dispatch advised they received a tip that the wanted subject, Taylor Swartz was at a residence on Vine Street. The of officer contacted Swartz’s mother, who said she was at the home. The officer entered the residence and the other advised Swartz an officer was there and to get dressed. Officers confirmed the warrant and Swartz was transported to the Darke County Jail for booking without further incident. The warrant was for possession of heroin and aggravated possession of drugs (fentanyl) with no bond. On June 5 an officer was conducting a followup investigation in the 400 block of Harrison Avenue and learned that Michael Harris was at the residence. Harris had an outstanding arrest warrant from Darke County Municipal Court that was issued April 24 for failure to appear on an assault charge. Harris was located in bed and was arrested on the warrant. Since Darke, Mercer or Miami county jails were unable to take Harris, officers contacted the Municipal Court and they agreed to arraign Harris at that time so of officers transported him to the courthouse. While in the basement of the courthouse, Harris was unable to stand and another officer assisted in getting Harris to the courtroom. Harris entered a not guilty plea and was issued an own recognizance bond. He was transported back to the residence on Harrison Avenue and was released.

Wreaths Across America Day at Greenville-Union Cemetery BY LINDA MOODY CORRESPONDENT lmoody@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE — National nonproﬁt Wreaths Across America (WAA) announced that Greenville Union Cemetery in Greenville will be joining in the effort to support the mission to Remember, Honor, Teach, as an

ofﬁcial location for 2018. This is the ﬁrst year the cemetery will participate in this national event, thanks to the local efforts of Fort GreeneVille Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution. And, the organization has gotten help from a couple of local businesses, Zechar Bailey Funeral

home and Dave Knapp Ford Lincoln. The cemetery will join the more than 1,200 participating locations across the country on Dec. 15 to proclaim “I’m an American. Yes, I am!” Every December, thousands of wreaths are escorted from Columbia Falls, Maine, to Arlington

National Cemetery for National Wreaths Across America Day. The goal for Fort GreeneVille Chapter DAR at Greenville Union Cemetery is to raise enough funds to place remembrance wreaths on the headstones of all the local heroes laid to rest there, to ensure the individuals who served to protect the freedoms of our country never be forgotten and to bring the community together in patriotic commemoration. The first goal has already been met to place wreaths at all the veteran headstones located in the soldiers section of Greenville Union Cemetery. Thanks to Zechar Bailey Funeral Home, all 130 graves will be honored. The next goal is to honor all the veterans throughout the entire cemetery. To kickoff the second phase, Dave Knapp Ford donated $100. Greg Zechar, manager at Zechar-Bailey, commented, “This is a wonderful thing to do for veterans. We’re pleased to help sponsor the event this year and years to come.” “We like to help out in any way we can,” added Bryan Knapp of the local auto dealership. “It’s for a very good cause. We are purchasing seven wreaths.” “Also available is the option to donate a wreath to a grave-specific wreath. By choosing to sponsor a grave-specific wreath, you’re requesting that a Remembrance Wreath be placed at a specific mark-

FBI agent addresses Chamber members BY LINDA MOODY CORRESPONDENT lmoody@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – “Current Cyber Threats: An Ever-Changing Landscape” was the theme for the keynote speech from Supervisory Special Agent Kevin P. Rojek of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) at the recent Darke County Chamber’s annual meeting. Cybercrime is a signiﬁcant and constantly evolving threat that affects everyone. And, the FBI is working diligently to un-

derstand the threat and remain one-step ahead of the criminals who seek to steal individuals’ and businesses’ money, pilfer intellectual property, and threaten everyone’s livelihood. To effectively address this threat, the FBI requires the constant assistance of a well-informed public, according to Rojek, who joined the FBI in September 2002 after serving 11 years in the U.S. Army as an artillery officer and an intelligence officer. After graduating from the FBI Academy, he spent 10 years as an agent and supervisor in the Norfolk, Va., field office working counterintelligence and cyber matters. In May 2012, Rojek accepted a promotion to FBI headquarters, where he worked national security computer intrusion investigations. Rojek returned to Norfolk in November 2013 and worked counterintelligence matters until April 2014 when he was selected for his current position as the supervisor of the Cincinnati field office. The Cyber Squad is responsible for investigating

all criminal and national security cyber matters in Cincinnati’s area of responsibility. He supervises seven agent investigators, three computer forensic experts, and two computer scientists. Rojek’s presentation focused on the FBI and its work with cybersecurity responsibilities. He said the ﬁrst priority is to the United States; then domestic and foreign. According to him there are 56 divisions, 35,000 employees and 13,500 agents in the FBI. He went on to talk about the cyber objectives; FBI threat priorities, the cyber threat spectrum; intrusion methods of which phishing/spear phishing is number one; the anatomy of an attack; an overview of cyber trends worldwide; the FBI’s mitigation strategy; its cyber resources; and prevention. The theft priorities, he said, are counterterrorism, counterintelligence and cyber, and indicated that the cyber threat spectrum is comprised of hacktivism, crime, insider, espionage, terrorism and warfare.

Grant programs drive broadband expansion As part of a largely rural community, I understand the challenges that still exist regardKEITH FABER ing dependOHIO SENATE able internet PRESIDENT access, even in the 21st century. Technology has advanced almost exponentially since the creation of the original internet in the 1980s, but cities and towns across the state still struggle to develop modern infrastructure that supports a growing online network. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the Ohio House has recently taken several steps to overcome this obstacle. In January, we passed legislation that would establish the Residential Broadband Expansion (RBE) Program. Created under House Bill 281, the RBE program strives to expand access to broadband through a strengthened partnership between local governments and private businesses. The program targets the issue of â&#x20AC;&#x153;last-mileâ&#x20AC;? connectivity, when it is too expensive for private wireless providers to extend their services to residences outside of the current infrastructure. The RBE program would be funded through the Ohio Broadband Development Grant Fund, which would provide funds to local governments to pay off a broadband expansion projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shortfall amount. The bulk

of the project cost would still be taken care of by the broadband provider, but the program allows local government to step in and depend on the RBE grant to pick up a third of the remaining cost. The bill encourages a pooling of resources to overcome ďŹ nancial barriers that prevent broadband expansion. We also passed House Bill 378, creating another grant program known as the Ohio Broadband Development Grant Program. The program would invest $100 million over the next two years through the proceeds of bonds supporting Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Third Frontier Program. Through this, private businesses, political subdivisions, and other eligible entities may apply for a grant speciďŹ cally for a project that helps expand high-speed internet across the state. Currently, nearly 300,000 rural households in Ohio do not have access to broadband internet. In the age of smart phones, cars, and more, this fact can be hard to believe. However, challenges still exist in our attempts to fully modernize as a state, and we must implement innovative solutions to remove limitations on educational opportunities, economic growth, and public safety resources that remain because of a lack of internet access. These two programs will help fund projects and urge collaboration between the state and private establishments.

WASHINGTON, D.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The U.S. House of Representatives passed U.S. Senator Sherrod Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (D-OH) bipartisan bill to advance childhood cancer research, prevention and access to treatment. Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill, the Childhood Cancer Survivorship, Treatment, Access, and Research Act of 2017 (Childhood Cancer STAR Act), is also sponsored by Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) and has been called â&#x20AC;&#x153;the most comprehensive childhood cancer legislation ever taken up by Congress,â&#x20AC;? by Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cause Cancer Advocacy. Brown is urging the President to move quickly in signing this legislation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This bill will expand the scope of childhood cancer research, so that we can better ďŹ ght this diseaseâ&#x20AC;? said Brown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I urge the President to move swiftly on this legislation, so that we can get Ohio families the resources they need to prevent and treat childhood cancer.â&#x20AC;? Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill would address childhood cancer by doing the following: Improving Childhood Cancer Research ď&#x20AC;Ş Reauthorize the National Childhood Cancer Registry through FY2022 and authorize the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to award grants to states to help improve state cancer registries. ď&#x20AC;Ş Direct the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to utilize all information and samples available to further research into childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer. Improving Care for Childhood Cancer Survivors

* Direct the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to develop and establish a pilot program to help monitor and care for childhood cancer survivors. This program would work to establish a task force to develop and test standards for high-quality childhood cancer survivorship care and carry out a demonstration project to improve care coordination as childhood cancer survivors transition to adult care. Boosting Access to Treatment ď&#x20AC;Ş Direct HHS to convene a Workforce Development Collaborative on Medical and Psychosocial Care for Pediatric Cancer Survivors. ď&#x20AC;Ş Direct NIH to investigate outcomes for, and barriers faced by, pediatric cancer survivors within minority or medically underserved populations and follow-up care for pediatric cancer survivors, including research on the late effects of cancer treatment and long-term complications. ď&#x20AC;Ş Directs the Government Accountability OfďŹ ce (GAO) to use NIHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ ndings to make recommendations for removing barriers to childhood cancer survivors getting and paying for adequate medical care. In April, Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bipartisan bill to reauthorize the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospitals Graduate Medical Education (CHGME) program for an additional ďŹ ve years and increase its authorization to $330 million per year passed out of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee.

I think the Darke County Chamber of Commerce and Darke County Visitors Bureau did a great job in selecting Marty McCabe and Andrew RifďŹ&#x201A;e, respectively, as their Citizens of the Year. I know both of them, and they are very deserving of these honors. Marty, in addition to being a businessman, has focused his outside interests on young people in the community via his work in his church, the school with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and other organizations and events. He has also had many roles in the EUM Church. Outside his business, coaching, and ministry to youth in Darke County, he has used his skills and participated in EUM mission trips near and far; thus, his caring for young people extends far beyond the county. Marty, a graduate of

COLUMBUSâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine recently warned consumers to beware of ticket scams when seeking tickets to the NBA Finals, summer concerts, and other in-demand events. Consumers have reported suspected ticket scams involving a variety of events, including Cavs games and concerts, in complaints ďŹ led with the Ohio Attorney Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OfďŹ ce. The average reported loss is over $200. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want people to know that there are con artists out there,â&#x20AC;?

tickets on Craigslist and collected payment from buyers, but then failed to provide any tickets or refunds. Tips to avoid ticket scams include: * Be skeptical of offers that are too good to be true. Sellers on Craigslist or other online marketplaces may offer tickets at face value (or below) for events that are sold out or highly in demand, but these offers may be scams. Some may offer phony explanations for why they need to sell tickets quickly, falsely saying they have a medical emergency or an overseas military assignment, for example. * Be careful dealing with individual third-party sellers. To protect yourself, deal with reputable businesses instead of third-party individuals who are not associated with an event. Before providing any payment or personal information, research a sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation, especially that of

an individual seller. Search the sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name, username, email address, phone number, and other details for information. Even if you ďŹ nd no negative information, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t assume the seller is trustworthy. Some con artists change names regularly. * Check the venueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ticket policies. Increasingly, a number of venues and events predominantly use electronic tickets. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to buy a paper ticket, make sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real. Check both sides of the ticket, and be aware that some ticket scammers use falsiďŹ ed photos, logos, or trademarks to create counterfeit tickets that look legitimate even though they are not. * Be wary of sellers who request speciďŹ c forms of payment. Con artists often request payment methods that are difďŹ cult to trace or recover, such as wire transfers, cash, or gift cards. They also may ask buyers to use

money-transfer apps or other payment options that may not carry speciďŹ c fraud protections. * Consider paying with a credit card. If a problem arises, you generally have greater ability to dispute charges on a credit card compared to other payment methods. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using a mobile wallet or peer-topeer payment service, be sure to understand the protections that the service does (or does not) provide before you make a transaction. Consumers who believe theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been defrauded should immediately report the scam and contact the company they used to make the payment. Ohioans can report scams to the Ohio Attorney Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OfďŹ ce at www.OhioProtects.org or by calling 800-282-0515. Suspicious Craigslist ads can be reported to the Ohio Attorney Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OfďŹ ce directly from Craigslist.

Greenville Legion Post 140 run-rules Troy Post 43 and Richmond Post 65 GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

RICHMOND, IN – Greenville American Legion Post 140 run-ruled Richmond Post 65 by a 17-3 score putting runs on the board in seven consecutive innings of play following a six-inning runrule 12-1 win earlier in the week over Troy Post 43. Post 140 would get on the board in the top of the ﬁrst taking advantage of an opening double off the

bat of Brandon Beyke, a Tyler Beyke walk and Kyle Mills RBI double to lead 3-1 with one inning in the book. “We went into Richmond struggling a bit with the bats, but the top of our order really set the pace tonight,” said Greenville Post 140 coach Chad Henry. “Doubles from Brandon and Kyle really got us going.” Greenville added a run in the top of the second and put six runs on the board in the top of the third to lead 10-3 after

three complete. Richmond would not dent the plate after the third while Post 140 was adding single runs in the four, ﬁfth and sixth innings to lead 13-3 at the end of six inning of play. Greenville would closeout scoring on the night putting up four runs in the top of the seventh to take the Indiana team by 14 run margin of victory. Kenny Moore went the distance for Greenville surrendering three runs on two hits over seven innings while striking out seven.

“We needed efficiency on the mound tonight and Kenny gave it to us,” said Henry. “Going the distance on 90 pitches with only five base runners is what I think we can expect to get from him. He’s working on his mix and it’s been fun to see him work with Kody (Shinabery) keeping batters of balance.” Greenville Post 140 played error free ball while banging out 11 hits on the night. Brandon Beyke paced Greenville going 3-4 at the plate with two singles, a double, two walks while picking up four RBIs and five runs scored. Tyler Beyke went 2-4 with a walk, two RBIs and two runs scored. “The Beyke brothers are as solid as could be in the

order,” noted Henry. “Together they had ﬁve hits, six RBIs and scored seven runs.” Kyle Mills was 2-3 including a double with two walks, three RBIs and two runs scored. “Kyle is having some kind of summer,” Hen-

ry said. “Everything he swings at right now gets crushed.” Logan Petitt was 2-4 with a single, a double, a walk and two runs scored. Casey Jones went 1-3 with two walks and two RBIs. Peyton Miller had a single, a walk and a run scored.

Greenville volleyball camp hosts 46 girls BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Greenville volleyball coaching staff along with many high school volleyball athletes hosted 46 future volleyball players from the ﬁfth grade through the eighth grade in a three day volleyball camp held in the two Greenville High School gymnasiums. “We are excited to have a new generation of girls,” said Greenville varsity volleyball coach Chelsea Dowd,” and we’re excited to get our season going in July.” Coach Dowd was assisted by GHS junior varsity coach Amy Schoen, eight grade coach Abby Thatcher and seventh grade coach Candee Combs. “We met as a coaching staff in March to go over the summer schedules and the camp,” shared Dowd. “It takes a lot of planning. We had 46 girls this year between the ﬁfth and the eighth grade – so there are so many different skill lev-

els.” “We met for a good 30 to 40 minutes before each day just to talk about; what do we want to accomplish the following day and how are we going to most effectively do it,” added Dowd. “It took some time but it went well.” Many of the attendees are repeat campers from previous years as the Greenville volleyball program continues to see improvement each year. “The seventh and eighth grade girls, all of these girls, I recognize almost every single one of them,” noted Dowd. “They come every year and they come at a pretty high level, even the young ones.” Coach Dowd was pleased with the progress the young campers made in three days of instruction. “Every day we start with the basics,” Dowd stated. “On day one – the passing and the setting and then that leads us into passing and setting, hitting and serving and then putting

it all together, so each day they get a little more comfortable with the basic motions and calling the ball and doing the normal volleyball things. They have deﬁnitely gotten so much better in the span of three days – it’s amazing.” The team of coaches and high school volleyball players not only work to make the camp a time of learning but a time of having fun while improving their skills. “That’s really what it’s all about,” Dowd said of wanting the young girls to enjoy their time at camp. “We obviously want as many people to be interested in volleyball as we possibly can get, but having them come and keeping them entertained and making them actually like it, it’s really good for us.” “They had a blast, all the girls, all the age groups,” concluded Dowd. “I’m really pleased and I’m proud of my girls stepping up and helping out, so it was good.”

Franklin Monroe completes volleyball camp BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

PITSBURG – Franklin Monroe varsity girls volleyball coach Angie Filbrun completed a three day camp for with 28 campers in attendance. “It is so fun to see this many girls,” said Filbrun. “This is our biggest year so far that we’ve had in the last several years. It’s nice to see the interest and the excitement.” The FM Lady Jets varsity volleyball team is coming off a school record setting 20-2 regular season mark bringing added interest in the sport from future participants. “The improvement is tremendous,” Filbrun noted of the three days on the courts. “So fun to see them, and just their excite-

ment when they see that they can actually do it – it’s so fun to watch them.” Coach Filbrun and her varsity staff strive to keep the camp interesting and fun while learning the game of volleyball. “We do the teamwork games, the relay races and things like that, but we are still involving volleyball skills, volleyball communication,” noted Filbrun, “they have to work together with the team.” “I have great helpers,” Filbrun noted of her high school athletes. “That’s probably the best thing that I love about this camp, is watching the high school girls work with the younger girls. They don’t realize, or maybe they do, how much of an impact they are making on those kids.” “I like to introduce ev-

erything and then I let the high school girls take over,” explained Filbrun. “We’ll walk around and we’ll hear things that we’ve said multiple times come out of their mouth, and I’m like, oh, they are listening, so it’s fun.” “All good kids, all working hard,” Filbrun said of the campers and staff. “I see a lot of girls that are very good leaders at helping out.” Coach Filbrun took time to thank the many people and athletes that made the Lady Jets 2018 volleyball camp a success. “The administration, the athletic director for letting us come in and the kids for coming out, parents for allowing their kids to come into the gym and just get a taste of what volleyball is all about,” Filbrun said.

Greenville boys basketball camp breaks century attendance mark GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Greenville 2018 boys four day basketball camp came to a successful close for 122 campers from prekindergarten through the seventh grade. “Great to have so many kids in the gym,” said Greenville varsity basketball Coach Kyle Joseph. “Just continuing to try and build numbers and get more kids here. I think it’s one of those things where the more kids that are here the more fun it is and the more competition there is – so it’s better all the way around.” The camp continues to show strong growth under the guidance of Coach Joseph as demonstrated by the 2018 numbers.

The 2016 year saw 42 campers in attendance. 2017 saw a noticeable increase with 88 campers joining in. The 2018 camp went well over the century mark with 122 campers showing up for event. “We had 88 last year but that was with two extra grades – that was 88 with eighth and night graders included,” noted Coach Joseph. “We don’t have them in camp this year.” Coach Joseph and his staff are working to instill a desire to improve while learning basic year around drills in providing an opportunity for all young athletes to improve basketball skills. “You can tell that some of them have spent a little more time dribbling a basketball and that’s what we are trying to get with all of them,” stated Coach

Joseph. “Just start doing a little bit of dribbling and you’ll be amazed at how much better you can get if you just bounce the ball every now and then.” “That is part of what this camp is about – even the older grades,” Coach Joseph added. “It is just developing a passion for basketball and a want to. Basketball is fun, so we just want to make it something that is fun for them that they want to try and work at.” Coach Joseph is pleased his 2018 staff, a staff that has expanded many times over in three short years. “My staff has been both from current staff members that we have within the basketball program, current high schoolers, kids who have graduated that played here,” Coach Joseph said. “I’ve had a

Former Greenville teammates return home to assist basketball camp BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Three 2017 GHS alumni currently playing college basketball returned to assist GHS varsity coach Kyle Joseph with basketball camp. “It means a tremendous amount to the program,” Greenville varsity basketball coach Kyle Joseph said of his former players. “I can’t even put into words what it means to me.” Isaiah Gable (Southeast Missouri State University), Aaron Rich (Bluffton University) and Peter Pandy (Indiana University East) are assisting Coach Joseph. “They’re here working not even because I asked them to but because they asked if they could come here and help out,” said Joseph. “I can’t put into words how much that means to me. It’s just great to have them here helping out.” The three players were entering their senior season when Coach Joseph arrived on the scene. A change at the top can be disruptive to a basketball program but Gable, Pandy and Rich’s maturity showed the community why they are playing ball at the next level.” “I came in their senior year and they didn’t know me from Adam,” stated Joseph, “and they did everything that I asked them to do.” “I loved playing for Coach Joseph, I really loved it,” said Pandy. “I learned a lot from Coach Joseph. He helped me pick a school, a good school, a good team I’m on now. He just did so much for me. I can’t thank him enough.” “It’s like having another role model,” Rich said

couple kids here who I have worked with at other places (Akron University) and they’re really what makes the whole thing go.” “I can tell them to do this or that and they take and run with it,” continued Coach Joseph. “They’re the reason why the kids want to come. They want to see these players, their role models and they are great role models for these

kids. I can’t thank them enough. They are really what makes this camp go. The kids are here a lot of times to see them and it gives them something to shoot for.” Coach Joseph concludes each camp with the same message to the young campers – thank your parents. “I always tell the kids the last day of camp, every single one of them – you’ve had someone,

whether your parent, grandparent, family friend who has paid for you to be here, who has helped to transport you to and from camp and we really appreciate that. I tell the kids always to make sure you tell them thank you.” “I certainly appreciate it too,” concluded Coach Joseph. “They get all these young kids here and without them this camp doesn’t happen.”

of Coach Joseph. “He’s a great guy – you can’t say enough about him.” “Coach Joseph really helped me,” said Gable. “Just his playing style, his wisdom helped me out.” Coach Joseph is not surprised the three are playing at the next level. “Those are three extremely – not just talented basketball players, but extremely dedicated guys who wouldn’t miss a workout, who wouldn’t miss anything,” Joseph said. “They are at everything that is available.” “They are great role models,” continued Joseph. “Just there interaction with these younger kids and showing them some of what is possible if you are willing to work really hard at something.” The three former teammates are making the most of the few days they have together. “It’s different to see how much one year of college changes a person, more mature, more skilled, a lot more skilled basketball wise,” noted

Rich. “It’s nice to see the different aspects of the different levels of college and talking to them about how their seasons went, how they go about things. I like to hear how different colleges do different things – it’s pretty interesting.” “It’s good to see them because I don’t get to see them during the school year, it’s kind of far away and I don’t get to come back,” said Gable. “It is deﬁnitely good to see them and I get to play basketball with them. We play a lot. We see each other while I am here almost every day – every day we play open gym and workout together, so it’s nice. Just like old times to workout together.” “It feels good,” Pandy noted. “I haven’t seen the guys in forever. We all went our separate ways. It’s just good to see them and then the game of basketball, we love the game so it’s nice to see Coach Joseph, my former teammates and just hang out. We’re here doing something we love, together.”

WE ARE NOW SERVICING DARKE COUNTY FOR RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, AND ROLL OFF.

COLUMBUS – Thousands of athletes invaded Jessie Owens Stadium at The Ohio State University for the annual OHSAA State Track & Field Tournament last weekend and Darke County had its share of athletes competing in the event. In division two, Versailles came home with the most medals for the county, including another state champion. Although Joe Spitzer qualified in two events, he chose not to run the 1600m Run in order to focus on running the 3200m Run. The decision paid off as he came home with the gold. Teammate Josh Steinbrunner returned to the podium in the 110m Hurdles. The senior hurdler finished third with a time of 14.51. Steinbrunner also finished 11th in high jump with a leap of 6′ and 11th in the 300m Hurdles with a time of 39.68. A.J. Ahrens, of Versailles, had a podium finish in shot put. The Tiger senior threw 51′ 9.25″ to finish sixth. Kyle Jones, senior, finished 15th in long jump with a leap of 19′ 11.5″ and senior Luke Shellhaas did not record a height in pole vault after missing three attempts at 13′ 6″. There were plenty of medals on the girls’ side in division two for the Lady Tigers. The team of Ellen Peters (12), Liz Watren (11), Lindsey Winner (10) and Kenia McEldowney (12) teamed up to post a time of 4:00.4 in the 4x400m Relay to finish third. Peters was also part of the 4x100m and 4x200m Relays. Peters along with Ali Moran (9), Ava Moran (11), and Lucy Prakel

(10) finished eighth in the 4x100m Relay (49.74) and Peters, Ali Moran, Cassie Peters (12), and Watren finished 6th in 4x200m Relay (1:44.74). Prakel earned a second podium finish with a vault of 12′ in pole vault. The height was good enough for third place. McEldowney finished 16th in the 800m Run with a time of 2:22.22. In division three, sophomore Brock Shellhaas placed fifth in pole vault after reaching 14′ 4”. Shellhaas’ teammate, junior Matthew Shook finished just off the podium in ninth with a vault of 13′ 6″. Franklin Monroe’s Selene Weaver finished on the podium in her first trip to the state meet. The sophomore pole vaulter cleared 11′ in route to sixth place. Arcanum sent four runners to compete in three events. The team of Tanner Delk (11), Chance Klip-

stine (12), Landen Kreusch (9) and Justin Vanatta (11) finished 14th in 4x800m Relay, but was able to post a PR of 8:20.06. Klipstine also ran the 800m Run and finished 12th with a time of 1:58.96 and Delk ran the 3200m Run and finished 15th in 10.04.89. Tri-Village junior Austin Bruner finished 15th in the 100m Dash with a time of 11.19. In division one, Greenville sent three athletes to compete. Senior Ryan Trick returned to the podium for a second consecutive year in pole vault. He was able to clear 14′ 6″ to finish 8th. On the girls’ side it was sophomore Riley Hunt making her first trip the state meet. She finished on the podium in sixth place with a vault of 11′ 6″. Senior Sierra Cress also made her first trip to the state meet. She finished 12th in discus after throwing 118′ 5″.

Apple Farm Service donates to fairgrounds ODOT construction continues in county GREENVILLE – On Thursday, May 31, The Darke County Ag Society received a donation from Apple Farm Service; a new tractor. Apple Farm Service donated a brand new Case IH Maxxum 125 to the Darke County Fairgrounds to be used free of charge for the next six months by the Darke County Ag Society. “We’re so happy that Apple Farm Service thought of us, and donated this tractor for our team to use,” said Fair Manager Brian Rismiller. “We’ve never been chosen for this program, and are thankful to be picked.” The new Case IH tractor will be used for plenty of tasks around the fairgrounds. Some of these tasks include resetting the track after races, raking dirt after tractor pulls, and mowing around the grounds. “Apple Farm Service is glad to help the Darke County Ag Society!” said Bill Apple, President of Apple Farm Service. “Case

Brian Rismiller, fair manager, Dave Hampshire, caretaker, and Ed Erisman, fair board member, accepted the tractor from Apple Farm Service.

IH is extremely generous in working with local dealerships to support to nonproﬁt organizations like the Ag Society. We are delighted to help an organization that is so vital to the community of

Darke County.” In six months this new Case IH Tractor will be for sale to a well-deserving farmer, but for now, you might see this machine working hard at the Darke County Fairgrounds.

Work of art at library for the summer GREENVILLE – Here’s the story from Dede Wissman about her beautiful painting on display at the Greenville Public Library for the summer. Her husband Bill worked for Greenville Technology Inc. from 1987 until he retired as Production Vice President and Plant Manager in 2004. During many of those years it was the practice of the company to purchase a painting each year from the Greenville Art Guild Show at the Brethren’s Retirement Community. These paintings were displayed in the ofﬁce areas of GTI. Bill was drawn to a particular painting of the library by Bob Brubaker. Dede was employed by the library at the time. Bill expressed an interest in the painting thus the company gave it to him as a retirement gift. “It had been my hope to give it to Dede as a gift. She was surprised and thrilled to receive the painting” he reported. Since then it has hung in their home. Dede decided that their appreciation of Brubaker’s painting be shared with the community by lending it for display for the summer. It can be viewed near the Reference Desk on the second ﬂoor. Dede was employed as a Reference Librarian from 1990 to 2011. If you know Dede, you may still see her at the library. She helps manage

GREENVILLE – Annyis Rose, 15, was sentenced to six years in prison for his role in the Jan. 6 Walgreens robbery in Greenville. Rose, of Lima, was one of four teens involved in the armed robbery, resulting in the theft of prescription drugs. Last week, Rose was bound over by Darke County Juvenile Court Judge Jason Aslinger to be tried as an adult. On Tuesday, Rose avoided a trial by admitting to the crime and entered a guilty plea. His attorney, Alex Pendl and assistant prosecutor Deb Quigley advised Judge Jonathan P. Hein they had a mutually agreed-upon plea and sentence. Charged with aggravated burglarly with a gun speciﬁcation, Rose could

have received 11 years for the aggravated burglary in addition to the three- year mandatory sentence for the gun speciﬁcation for a total of 14 years imprisonment. According to Pendl, the Jan. 6 incident “was a poor decision made by my client.” Pendl said Rose was inﬂuenced by “older individuals” he called “distant relatives” to commit the crime. Pendl added his client’s family “was very supportive” and had been in attendance for court proceedings over the past four-plus months. Pendl also told Hein his client told him he emptied the chamber before entering the drug store so no one would get hurt. During his statements, Hein noted the fact that Rose did not have a prior juvenile record. “In this case you jumped in big” adding that at age

15, Rose was “impressionable and warned him to be on guard” during his time in the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation. Hein also admonished the juvenile “not to come out of prison worse than when you went in.” Hein reminded Rose he also had been involved in two other Walgreens’ robbery court proceedings – for fellow offenders Ishmael Luster and Ant-

wan Thompson. Due to those proceedings, Hein said he had seen reports and evidence presented and found Rose’s sentencing of six years “a fair and reasonably recommended sentence.” Both Luster and Thompson are serving sixyear sentences. The fourth juvenile, who has not been named, was remanded to ofﬁcials in Allen County.

Court conducts inmate video appearances BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The following appeared June 4 by video before Judge Jonathan P. Hein from the Darke County Jail: * Nicholas Noggler 24, of Ft. Recovery appeared for a probation violation resulting in one charge of possession of drugs and one charge for possession of heroin. A July 19 probable cause and disposition hearing is scheduled. * Michael Vecera, 37, of

Greenville entered a guilty plea for probation violation. * Taylor Swartz, 23, of Greenville, was arraigned on one count for possession of heroin and one count of possession of fentanyl stemming from November 2017. Swartz told Hein she had been clean for six months and was receiving medical intervention for her addiction. Hein took Prosecutor Kelly Ormsby’s suggestion and imposed a $15,000 bond

since, according to Ormsby, Swartz has “substance abuse problems.” Randall Breaden was appointed to represent Swartz, with her next appearance set for July 2 for a pre-trial conference. * Lucas Lear, 32, of Gettysburg, appeared before Hein on one count of intrastate extradition. Lear was wanted in Richland County, Ohio for driving under suspension. He opted to accept a $2,500 bond, which allows him to

drive himself to Mansfield and turn himself in to the Richland County Sheriff’s Office. * Romona Miller, 47, of Dunkirk, Ind., appeared for two charges – on a fugitive from justice warrant from Jay County, Ind. and one for possession of drugs from Darke County. Hein ordered Miller to first appear for her Jay County charge, then report to Darke County to face the possession charge.

Fries enters guilty plea for breaking and entering BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Darke County Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein ordered a Monday program evaluation for Dennis Fries on Tuesday. Fries, 48, of Greenville, has served nearly three months in the Darke County Jail for a probation violation. On Tuesday, Fries entered a guilty plea to a breaking and entering offense that took place on March 13.

According to assistant prosecutor Deb Quigley, the defendant was “stealing to support his drug habit.” Quigley suggested Fries be sent to a treatment facility to receive help with his addiction and also said the state would dismiss Fries’ second charge of theft for pleading guilty to breaking and entering. Hein, as well as Fries’ defense attorney Randall Breaden agreed with Quigley and ordered he continue community control for 60 months

Bike rack and parklet decisions delayed RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The new re-designed bike rack should be in this week, but it may be the end of the month or longer before they are installed and an effort to establish the parklets for the July and August First Friday events has been stalled. Main Street Greenville Executive Director Crysta Hutchinson addressed Greenville City Council asking for support of a couple issues in the coming months, but left without an immediate answer. Hutchinson approached council a few months ago asking for permission to have the parklets in the city’s right-of-way for the June First Friday and was given immediate approval, but when she returned on Tuesday to ask for the same consideration she was met with delay. “We felt the parklets were met with success and enjoyed by both the businesses they were placed in front of and the people who were able to sit and spend time, we would like to continue those parklets,” she said. However, Council President John Burkett broke with precedent set earlier this year to order a formal recommendation from the city’s administration. “I think that is a request that would need to come from the administration

to this council so they can bring something to the next council meeting,” he said. In regards to the bike racks, Hutchinson said, “As we have previously discussed with the new design of the bike racks, if the city is willing to help with the installation of those, we would need to have those funds approved.” The cost for the city to install the new racks is estimated at $3,229.76 for 10 bike racks. Burkett again asked the administration to prepare information for approval. Safety Service Director Curt Garrison pointed out there wouldn’t be any additional funds needed to install the racks, but instead the time spent for the installation would take away from other projects. Garrison said, “I think what we are looking for is a vote from council that would say we agree that city funds should be used for the installation of bike racks in the right-of-way and the street department would do that. That’s the type of question we’re looking for.” As to the parklet, Garrison said, “I would ask the question about the parklets. Mr. Burkett, I’m not sure what type of formal…I can put something in writing and a map of various locations that the parklets would go.” Burkett responded, “That would be better.”

CORRESPONDENT

GREENVILLE – Two special awards – the 2018 Chamber Citizen of the Year and Darke County Visitors Bureau Tourism Citizen of the Year – were presented at the recent Darke County Chamber of Commerce annual meeting at Romer’s. Chief Deputy Sheriff Mark Whittaker, 2017 Chamber Citizen of the Year, presented this year’s award to his successor, Marty McCabe; and Matt Staugler, executive director of the Darke County Visitors Bureau, presented Andrew Rifﬂe, owner of the Whistle Stop in Ansonia, with the tourism honor. Both men received plaques from the Chamber and Visitors Bureau, respectively; and from Sen. Bill Beagle; State Rep. Stephen Huffman; Ofﬁce of the Lieutenant Governor represented by Lisa Hayes, southwest regional representative;

and Ben Thaeler, deputy district director for Congressman Warren Davidson. “This year’s recipient has coached and ministered to young people in Darke County since he was 23 years old,” said Whittaker of McCabe. “Those that know him say that he believes that nothing is more important in life than being one of God’s tools to shape a human soul. A friend shared, ‘I can’t think of anyone I know that has made more of an impact in our community through their acts of service. I’ve seen him invest his life in ministry to teenagers and act with compassion toward anyone in need. He has been engaged with Youth For Christ for more than 20 years, is a past board member and past chairman of the board.’” McCabe is described as someone who works to give back. “This is demonstrated by his tireless service at church (EUM in Greenville), at the school, and

with many other organizations and events in our community and beyond. And he does all this while operating a business and spending time with his own family,” Whittaker said. It was reported that in 2007, McCabe had a vision and was the primary force and organizer of the Illumination Festival held each year at the Darke County Fairgrounds. He worked with previous Fair Manager Daryl Rifﬂe to bring the Illumination Festival and its Christian bands to the Darke County Fairgrounds. He organized the Illumination Festival board of directors and the volunteers to make the event a reality. The Illumination Festival is now in its 12th successful year.” Each year, the Chamber shares the stage with the Darke County Visitors Bureau, a separate organization which presents the tourism Citizen of the Year Award. Staugler said he was honored to present the

award to an individual who exemplifies the best of tourism in our community. Riffle, the honoree, is a member of the Darke County community. “The nominee is a person who is well-rounded in his commitment to tourism through community, employment and volunteerism,” Staugler said. “Above all, the nominee is a person who looks first at what they can do for Darke County and tourism within Darke County. He has demonstrated extensive and diverse participation, leadership and support in public and/or private tourism endeavors over a period of years. The nominee is a leader capable of getting others involved in tourism within the community.” Staugler went on, “Entrepreneurship was instilled early on in the life of this year’s recipient, and the most prominent foray of his business career thus far has been the purchase of a storied restaurant in Ansonia.”

Local furniture store gets new name RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – A celebration for a name change from Furniture Express to Life Style Furniture & Mattress, 640 Wagner Ave., Greenville, was held Wednesday and included a ribbon cutting from the Darke County Chamber of Commerce. Neil Francis, president, explained the name change will maximize advertising and buying power as the company continues to grow. They currently have another location in St. Marys. The business opened

13 1/2-years ago and carries Ashley Furniture. While they don’t carry a lot of furniture at their showroom, Francis explained they are able to purchase direct from the factory, keep a low overhead and charge less. Francis explained customers will continue to receive the same great service from the same staff. Susan Deschambeau, Darke County Chamber of Commerce president, said, “We are happy to help you celebrate. It’s a lot of work changing things, but change is good. Here’s to new beginnings.”

GREENVILLE – The second in the Outlander Chronicles series has been published by local author and pastor C.H (Chris) Cobb. Book two, Outlander Chronicles - Pegasus, continues the physical and spiritual journey of a young man and his friends in a post-apocalyptic world. Pegasus not only boasts a local author, several other elements of the sixth novel written by the counseling pastor at Greenville’s Bible Fellowship Church have their roots in Darke County, says Cobb. “There are several local connections,” he explained. These connections include Brett Bender of Versailles who served as the model for the front cover. Bender is photographed riding his horse named Dan by Versailles photographer Brittney Elsas of Elsas Photography, who

Cobb says is an expert in equine photography. “It only took about an hour,” he said, for Elsas to capture just the right pose he was looking for. The scene for the front cover is Camelot Farm, northeast of Greenville and owned by Chris and Lisa Heidenreich, with the photoshoot being coordinated by Carol Williams of the Winery at Versailles. Cobb’s wife, Doris put the ﬁnishing touches on

the book’s cover. “This is the ﬁrst time it’s all been done locally,” Cobb said of his latest endeavor. “Readers have been asking for the next one,” he said of the Outlander Chronicle series. Cobb said it took him about two years to complete Pegasus. On Friday, July 6, Cobb – and a possible special appearance by the book cover’s model Bender – will conduct a book signing at downtown Greenville’s Bread of Life Christian Book Store, 533 S.

Broadway. The book signing will be part of Main Street ,Greenville’s Memories on Main First Friday event. Cobb’s other works include Outlander Chronicles – Phoenix, Falcon Down, Falcon Rising, Falcon Strike, and The Candidate. Cobb also has penned A Prayer of Moses, a devotional study of Psalm 90. Cobb’s books may be found at Amazon and Kindle, as well as at Greenville Public Library and other independent book stores.

Round House opens for season GREENVILLE – The Greenville City Park along with Person Centered Services (PCS) has opened the iconic Round House for its second season. The concept came about as PCS was having a picnic in the City Park and the discussion began. Why has it been so long since it was open and how can we re-open it ourselves? After conversations with the park manager and the park board, the adventure began. After a deep cleaning, painting and the iconic Greenie mascot was created by a local artist, the Round House was once again open for business. The amount of support from the community and local businesses has been overwhelming. At the beginning of this season, The Darke County Foundation

made a generous donation to replace the heavy shutters above each service window, a new refrigerator and funds for upgrading the landscaping. It has been a great experience for all involved which will

TASKS, Inc. donates to Versailles Schools VERSAILLES – TASKS, Inc. (Teaching About Safety Kids Style) recently donated money to Versailles Schools for the purchase of 12 Anti-Choking Training Vests and the associated training curriculum. All sixth grade students at Versailles receive instruction on how to perform abdominal thrusts on a choking victim (commonly known as the Heimlich Maneuver). However, teaching the proper technique is difﬁcult due to the risk of injury if performing the thrusts on a non-choking person. The acquisition of these antichoking vests provides hands on skills training in a safe manner, protecting the “victim” from unintended harm. These vests contain an air bladder with foam plug that requires the trainee to use proper technique to dislodge the foam plug. If the technique is performed correctly, the foam plug will be expelled. With this award to Versailles Schools, TASKS, Inc.

Pictured above are TASKS board members Bob Frey and Scott Garrison, along with Versailles School nurse Tracy Cordonnier, holding one of the vests purchased with the grant money.
