THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF THE GREAT DARKE COUNTY FAIR!

Sutton’s will ﬁll void left by Marsh closing RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY – Eightythree years after opening in Arcanum, Sutton’s Foods is expanding their business to include a second location. They are moving closer to where it all began for the Sutton family. In 1920, Roy and Nola Sutton opened their ﬁrst grocery store with a gas pump in Lightsville. Eighty-eight years have passed since the Suttons had a presence in the northern Darke County, but that will end on July 12 (projected date) when Sutton’s Foods opens in Union City, a p -

proximately 12-miles southwest of their original location. Currently in its third generation of being family owned and operated and with the fourth generation poised to take over, Sutton’s Foods believes Union City will be a great ﬁt for the business. Sutton’s will be going into the building formerly occupied by Marsh Supermarket. Josh Urlage, vice-president of Sutton’s and son-in-law of owners Kirby and Lori Sutton, explained when they heard rumors Marsh was closing its Union City store Kirby and Lori drove over to the store to take a look.

“The store looked great and his brother Scott were and everything looked in raised in the Arcanum good shape and we store and Kirby’s thought there was daughter Shayno way it la (Josh’s was going wife) was to close,” raised Josh said. Two weeks after the initial visit, Super Valu came to them and said Marsh is going to close. “We got in the car and drove over there, again.” They talked to Bart Feight, store manager, and got his feelings on bringing Sutton’s to Union City. Lori said, “The people in Union City are similar to the Arcanum people. They want customer service and that’s one of our goals. And I think they like that we are family owned and operated.” Josh added, “We love what we do. We feel like we can bring this family atmosphere to another community.” Family is very important to the Suttons. Kirby

in the store and now Josh and Shayla’s children are being raised there. Family doesn’t end with blood relation. Shayla said, “Our employees are part of our family. We treat our customers like they’re a part of our family.” Josh added, “We know them by name and we go the extra m i l e to do whate v e r we can to help them.” J u s t as it is in Arcanum, U n i o n City will ﬁnd “Service will be the most important thing,” said Josh. They still carry groceries to your car, cut meat to the desired thickness, and help you ﬁnd

what you’re looking for in the store. Shayla added, “If you’re sick at home and need to call in your order, call us and we’ll home deliver.” Many of the faces Union City residents have gotten to know at the Marsh store are the same faces they will see when Sutton’s Foods opens, including Feight. Lori said, “He’s on board. They know Bart. They like Bart. We have intentions of keeping a lot of those Union City employees.” Josh added, “Bart laughs because he’s the only employee in the Union City store that doesn’t live there.” The Suttons have been working with the Wright family, who previously owned a grocery store in Union City, to purchase the building. “It’s been incredible working with the Wright family,” said Josh. “Dan Wright and his sister Marlene and his sonin-law Jeff…We couldn’t make it happen without them,” said Lori. Josh concluded, “They really want a grocery store in that town. They really, really worked with us to make that happen.”

staff shared how much the dispatchers help officers, from compiling and filing reports to assisting with solving crimes and helping officers find wanted persons. Fire Chief Russ Thompson added, “The city’s dispatch service provides an invaluable service to the citizens of Greenville. I do not know if we will operate under the same protocols if dispatched by the county.” He expects his department would need to make changes, but one area where he is most con-

cerned is through their recall system. If the on-duty crew is responding to a fire in the city or through mutual aid, dispatch handles the recall of off-duty firefighters to be at the station. It’s unclear if the county will be able to offer the same service. Darke County Sheriff Toby Spencer explained this issue has come before him numerous times since he has been sheriff. “Not once in my career or anybody else’s career, that I know of, has the Sheriff’s Office went to the city

begging for their work. We don’t need their work. We have plenty to do on our own,” Spencer said. He pointed out both entities will need to spend a lot of money in the near future to upgrade their systems. “My only concern is those monies go to a proper place to give proper service to all the citizens of Darke County.” He added, “Some have said this is a hostile takeover. It’s not a hostile takeover. We are only offering a service.” He noted city council members have come to him in the past

and asked if the county could do the job. “Yes we can do the job.” He concluded, “There will be a dedicated dispatcher to the city of Greenville, as it is today, if that is the decision of the council. We will give you the quality service that you anticipate on receiving.” It will now be up to city council to decide. President Burkett was unclear as to what the next step would be, but believes council will study the information and eventually make a decision.

Island makeover restores community pride CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – After nearly a year of planning and overcoming several obstacles along the way, the Friends of the Greenville City Parks were ﬁnally able to see their island project vision become reality this week. Crews began clearing the main island site, which is referred to as “Treasured Island”, last weekend. An overhead crane was used Tuesday to transport equipment and trees across the water, in order to be placed and planted. The project was completed on Thursday. As the island project

progressed during the week, many community members voiced their appreciation and satisfaction via social media… posting things like, “The island is going to look fantastic!” and “Thanks to everyone who worked hard and donated to make this possible!” The Friends group has additional upgrades they are considering helping with in the park if funds become available. One of the potential future upgrade projects is the smaller island across the street. Those interested in donating to The Friends of the Greenville City Parks, should know that they are a 501 C3 nonproﬁt organization. Your tax de-

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT

Police respond to overdose at Town House Motel Overdose

On June 4 an officer was called to the Town House Motel, 203 East Main Street on the report of an overdose. The officer spoke with the complainant Zackary Wilkerson who said Derick Burton had overdosed.. Greenville Township Rescue and another police officer were already on the scene administering aid to Burton, who was unresponsive. Wilkerson told the officers he heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw Burton leaning against the wall. Burton came inside the motel room and sat down on the bed. Wilkerson said when Burton arrived he was talking and making conversation but after about 5 or 10 minutes he passed out. Wilkerson said he started to splash water on Burton’s face before calling for help. Greenville Township Rescue administered 8-10 mg of Narcan before Burton became responsive. Ten clear capsules full of an unknown white powder were taken as evidence from Burton’s front right pocket of his jeans. One hypodermic cap for a syringe was located between the bed and the wall. A syringe was located near the cap and another cap was located in the trash. Burton was transported to Wayne HealthCare by Greenville Township Rescue. The capsules will be sent to the lab for further analysis. Burton will be charged for possession of controlled substance and abuse of drug instrument

after the analysis is completed from the lab. Suspicious Vehicle/Drugs

On June 6 the Darke County Sheriff’s office received a complaint of a suspicious vehicle in Ansonia. The sheriff’s department advised the Greenville Police the truck was headed toward Greenville, where it was located by GPD traveling southbound on North Broadway. The officer could not see a license plate on the front or back of the vehicle, which pulled into the back lot of the Greenville Missionary Church on North Broadway. The officer made contact with the driver, Scott Williams, who said there was a tag in the rear window. The tag had been placed behind a window sticker on the tinted glass, making it difficult to see or read. The tag turned out to be a plain white piece of paper with words written on it in the configuration of a typical dealer plate. The words “tag stolen” were written at the bottom of the paper. The officer located two Ohio license plates belonging to a different vehicle in the passenger door pocket of the truck. There was no paperwork showing ownership of the vehicle and the VIN was not on file. Williams told the officer an employee of Reck’s Auto had placed the paper license in the window. The officer attempted to call Reck’s, but was unable to make contact. Williams did not have ID, so the officer ran him through LEADS and found he was under several sus-

pensions, including for non-compliance, license forfeiture, child support, and has a failure to reinstate conviction. Williams told the officer he knew his license was expired, but was unaware of the suspensions. According to the report, the officer was familiar with both Williams and his female passenger so requested a dog from the Darke County Sheriff’s Office to conduct a drug search. The dog hit on the driver’s door and a search of the vehicle turned up a glass pipe with white residue, which was inside a tote on the back seat. There also was clothing along with 47 syringes inside the tote. Williams and his passenger said the bag wasn’t theirs, though some clothing belonging to the passenger had been stuffed inside. They told the officer they believed the tote belonged to a friend who had borrowed the truck and had recently been arrested for possession of meth. Williams was cited for counterfeit tags and DUS. The vehicle was towed and is being held for proof of ownership. The syringes and pipe were taken as property. The owner of the license plates was identified. Disorderly

On June 6 an officer witnessed Adam Payne standing in the middle of East Main Street at Walnut Street. A motorcycle was stopped in the westbound lane for the light at Walnut. The officer saw Payne staggering and flipping the middle finger to the motorcyclist. The light turned green and Payne continued to stand in the middle of the road with his back toward the officer, who continued to approach. The officer noticed a strong odor of alcohol coming from Payne, who also had bloodshot eyes and slurred speech. Payne told the officer he was walking to work. When the officer advised Payne he was intoxicated, Payne said he’d be going to work later. Due to his condition, Payne was issued a citation for disorderly conduct and was taken to his residence. Wanted Person

On June 2 an ofﬁcer was dispatched to Wayne HealthCare in reference to

a wanted person. A Darke County Sheriff’s sergeant told the officer they had received an arrest order from Darke County Adult Probation for Jena Garland for a probation violation. The sergeant had knowledge Garland was at Wayne HealthCare. The officer located Garland in the ICU as she was being discharged. The officer escorted Garland to his cruiser and transported her to the Darke County Jail. Probation was revoked for drug use and failure to comply with a recovery and wellness program. Garland’s original charge was for nonsupport of dependents. No bond was set. On June 1 two officers were called to a residence in the 200 block of Harrison Avenue, in reference to William Pollard residing at the address. One of the officers had prior knowledge Pollard had an active warrant for his arrest from Darke County Municipal Court for a probation violation on an original charge of criminal damaging. The officer made contact with Pollard and his warrant was confirmed through dispatch. Pollard was placed under arrest and transported to the Darke County Jail where he was incarcerated without bond and must serve 59 days. On June 6 an officer made contact with William Blanton at the Darke County Courthouse. The officer had prior knowledge Blanton had an active warrant for his arrest from Darke County Municipal Court in reference to failure to appear for arraignment on the original charge of marijuana paraphernalia. Blanton’s warrant was confirmed and he was placed under arrest and transported to the Darke County Jail, where he was incarcerated with a bond of $325. Miscellaneous Commplaint

On May 29 an officer responded to a report about two suspicious subjects walking through Greenville City Park drinking an open container of alcohol. Upon arrival, the officer found Jeff White and Jamie Keown walking across the swinging bridge drinking a beer. Another offi-

Christopher Newman

Suspect arraigned for terrorizing family man BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The suspect that authorities say terrorized a Darke County family man on May 6 was arraigned on eight felony counts Monday afternoon in court. Christopher S. Newman of Winchester, Ind. appeared for arraignment by video connection from the Darke County Jail. The 31-year-old was indicted on eight counts, which included Kidnapping (F1), Aggravated Robbery (F1). Aggravated Arson (F1), Aggravated Arson (F2), Burglary (F2), Grand Theft of a Firearm (F3), Receiving Stolen Property (F5) and Causing Harm to a Companion Animal (F5). He was charged with the last count for causing physical harm to a family dog during the crime spree. A grand jury indicted Newman following an investigation by the Darke County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce that revealed he allegedly made entry into a barn located at 5363 Delisle Fourman Road. Meier stopped at the property with his threeyear-old son because he noticed property sitting in front of the barn that wasn’t there before. When Meier got out to investigate, Newman exited the barn brandishing a 12-

gauge shotgun and ordered Meier back into his truck at gunpoint. Newman got into Meier’s truck and took his cell phone and wallet. Newman then grabbed the three-year-old in the backseat and at that point Meier wrestled the shotgun away from Newman. Newman exited the truck and Meier fled the scene with his son for help. Meier was treated at the scene by Greenville Township Rescue for injuries received during the struggle. Newman also fled the scene by driving his truck through a large overhead barn door and traveling east on Delisle Fourman Road. Newman crashed his truck into a creek a short distance away in the area of Delisle Fourman Road and Jaysville-St. Johns Road. Newman then fled on foot after the crash and was located by deputies outside a residence at 3598 Jaysville-St. Johns Road. Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein continued a previously set $100,000 bond in the case for Newman. He is scheduled to return to court for a pre-trial on July 9. A twoday jury trial is scheduled for Aug. 8 and 9 if a plea agreement with the state is not reached. He faces up to 57 years behind bars if convicted as charged.

Life Insurance Needs Will Change Over Time… So Be Prepared

If you’re going to achieve all your goals, such as sending your kids to college, retiring in comfort, and leaving a legacy, you will need to save and invest throughout your lifetime. But to really complete your financial picture, you’ll also need to add one more element: protection. And that means you’ll require adequate life insurance for your situation. However, your need for insurance will vary at different times of your life — so you’ll want to recognize these changing, needs and be prepared to act. When you’re a young adult, and you’re single, life insurance probably will not be that big of a priority. And even married couples without children typically have little need for life insurance; if both spouses contribute equally to household finances, and you don’t own a home, the death of one spouse generally will not be financially catastrophic for the other. But once you buy a home, things change. Even if you and your spouse are both working, the financial burden of a mortgage may be too much for the surviving spouse. So, to enable the survivor to continue living in the home, you might consider purchasing enough life insurance at least to cover the mortgage. When you have children, your life insurance needs typically will increase greatly. It’s a good idea for both parents to carry enough life insurance to pay off a mortgage and raise and educate the children, because the surviving parent’s income may be insufficient for these needs. How much insurance do you need?

You might hear of a “formula,” such as buying an amount equal to seven to 10 times your annual income, but this is a rough guideline, at best. You might want to work with a ﬁnancial professional to weigh various factors – number and ages of children, size of mortgage, current income of you and your spouse, and so on – to determine the amount of coverage and the type of insurance (“term” or “permanent”) appropriate for your situation. Once you’ve reached the empty nest stage, and your kids are grown and living on their own, you may need to re-evaluate your insurance needs. You might be able to lower your coverage, but if you still have a mortgage, you probably would want to keep enough insurance to pay it off. After you retire, you may have either paid off your mortgage or moved into a condominium or apartment, so you may require even less life insurance than before. But it’s also possible that your need for life insurance will remain strong. For example, the proceeds of a life insurance policy can be used to pay your ﬁnal expenses or to replace any income lost to your spouse as a result of your death (e.g., from a pension or Social Security.) Life insurance also can be used in your estate plans to help leave the legacy you desire. As we’ve seen, insurance can be important at every stage of your life. You’ll help yourself – and your loved ones – by getting the coverage you need when you need it.

ON YOUR MIND

READERS WRITE American Health Care Act Thank you for allowing me to share my concern of the health care debate happening in Washington. It’s important that readers understand that even though we live hundreds of miles from the U.S. Capitol, the deliberations under that dome to ﬁx health care will have a direct and immediate impact on many people in our community. As someone who has worked at a Community Health Center for many years, I am very concerned about the effect the American Health Care Act will have on our patients. Proposals to block grant Medicaid and roll back Ohio’s Medicaid expansion program will put 5,625 Darke County Residents (2,700 children) who visit our health center at risk for losing their insurance protection. Typically when people have no insurance they will utilize the emergency room for non-emergent health issues or delay needed care and require more costly medical interventions as they get sick. Many of the people affected by these proposals are individuals who are employed in the service industry and the elderly who have used their savings to offset their living expenses and now need assistance to pay for their medications and healthcare. Medicaid should not be considered as Welfare but as a safety net for those who “just can’t make ends meet”. Similarly, proposals to place the most vulnerable and sick patients into underfunded high-risk pools will cause our patients who are most in need of coverage to face the greatest challenge in affording it. For decades health centers like ours have earned bipartisan support. We provide affordable care to economically challenged and chronically ill people and bring a unique and important perspective to the national conversation on ﬁxing health care. What we have learned from experience is cutting access to both insurance coverage and affordable primary care doesn’t balance the budget – in fact it accomplishes precisely the opposite and we all pay a price. Jean Young, CEO Family Health Inc. ******************* Calling on Darke Co. Communities Entering its second year of service, Empowering Darke County Youth programs are growing. The ability to serve the increasing demand for help, however, is severely limited by available resources. Last summer, Empowering tutors successfully helped 43 students get a jump on their school year. This summer, parents and grandparents have requested help for 63 students, a jump of nearly 50 percent. We have had to establish a waiting list. Please consider a donation. It will immediately make weekly tutoring sessions available to another child. There are many adults in Darke County who can help a child learn his or her letters or numbers… or im-

prove reading skills. Make a commitment to set aside one or two hours a week to help us help them. Help us give another child the help he or she deserves. Message Facebook Empowering Darke County Youth, email empoweringdarkecountyyouth@gmail. com or leave a message at Edison State Community College, (937) 548-5546. Our Mission: “Empowering Darke County Youth provides After School and Summer Tutoring programs to assist students in the areas of language arts and math with the goal of Strong Students for a Strong Community.” Thank you, Eric Fee, President Empowering Darke County Youth Owner, Oliver Floyd Funeral Home ******************* GPD Chief Supports Dispatch To the citizens of Greenville: The Greenville Police Department is in full support of keeping the Police and Fire Dispatch center serving the citizens of Greenville. We have a dedicated and well trained staff who have the best interest of our citizens and businesses in mind. The GPD is a nationally accredited police agency through CALEA (The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement), which means we adhere to a set of national standards based on best practices. Our policy and procedural applications help ensure that anyone who needs to interact with Greenville Dispatch will receive the same level of service every time. These policies, procedures and the CALEA accreditation process hold us accountable and ensure we are living up to what we say we do. Greenville Dispatch takes numerous calls that are always answered in a timely and professional manner. It can often get very hectic but having two dispatch centers prevents the likelihood of being overwhelmed during any critical incident. The County Commissioners made a resolution that stated they would provide dispatching services for free. Yet they will not sign a contract or a terms of agreement on the use of the Sheriff’s Office dispatching service. I believe negotiations and a common agreement is the first step to any fruitful endeavor to ensure the best outcome. We have been told the Sheriff’s Office Emergency Communication system is old and failing. I question why taking on additional cost and responsibility at this point is prudent? All funds should be saved and spent toward fixing and replacing the current system and/or going to the State’s MARCS system. I have spent 31 years of my life with the Greenville Police Department and am proud of our commitment to providing the highest quality of service to our citizens. Keeping the GPD Dispatch will provide for that level of service and commitment well into the future. Chief Dennis L. Butts, Greenville Police Department

I Want to Binge Watch Netﬂix RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

I’ve had way too much stuff swirling around in my balding head lately. These past few weeks have ﬂown by faster than both of my kids running away from me when I say the word chores. Track meets, prom, choir concert, banquets, the end of school, dance recital (gulp), and graduation have had me running here, there and everywhere. Since my oldest daughter was a senior this year I’ve talked to other parents in similar situations. Some were feeling the sorrow of a chapter in the lives of their kids closing. Quite frankly, I didn’t know how I would feel when they called her name and she picked up her fake diploma. They don’t give them the real ones until after the ceremony. I’m pretty sure it was my wife’s class at

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Rob Portman (R-OH) introduced bipartisan legislation to help more Ohioans get needed treatment for opioid addiction. Current law limits use of Medicaid funding for residential mental health or substance abuse treatment to facilities with just 16 beds or less, which prevents many Ohioans from getting the help they need. The Senators’ bill would lift this outdated cap so more Ohioans can access services at these inpatient facilities. “Red tape shouldn’t keep Ohioans from needed treatment and this simple ﬁx will provide real relief to those struggling with addiction,” said Brown. “Ohioans on the frontlines of the opioid epidemic tell me lack of beds at these facilities is the number-one barri-

there have been many. It really didn’t feel like any other day. I didn’t feel sad about this chapter of her life coming to end. I almost feel guilty that I wasn’t a little sad. I looked around and saw tears in a few eyes and I’m sitting there looking at my watch wondering when the graduation ceremony was going to be over. When one of the speeches was under a minute I nearly jumped out of my chair and whooped and hollered. I thought about leading a standing ovation, but then I looked at my wife and thought I better not. I did say to myself, “I don’t know this kid, but I really like this kid.” The sadness may hit me when we are not running all over creation doing things for our kids. What will we do when we don’t have track meets, choir concerts, banquets, or dance recitals (gulp) to go to? My answer is to sit back in my recliner (pants are optional) and

binge watch anything and everything on Netflix. I think my wife’s answer will be to go see the kids that we just got rid of. I made it through graduation, but I’ll have one more test to pass this summer. At the end of August we will experience our first move-in day at the college. My wife is already dreading that day and I’m expecting a very quiet ride home once we leave. Her college coach has already said don’t let her come home for a while when you drop her off. It’ll be very hard on me. I’ll want to crack jokes about it and my wife will not be in the mood. I already know what is going to happen. My wife will take a few things from the luggage my daughter packs. When she calls home to say she thought she packed it, but it’s not in there, my wife will jump in the car to take it to her. I guess I will need to postpone binge watching Netflix for another four years.

Ansonia that spurred that change. When she graduated, one of the students neglected to wear pants under his robe and once he received his diploma he let everyone know he had forgotten to put his pants on. A few days later I heard Paul Harvey reporting the incident on his newscast. Ansonia made national news for a graduation mooning. It doesn’t get any better than that. I totally lost my train of thought. Oh yeah, now I remember. I wasn’t sure how I would feel blah, blah, blah. Would I get a little choked up? Would tears come to my eyes? Would I remember her as a little girl and question where the time had gone? Would my mind replay the video reel of her life as she grew up? Each of those question resulted in a big emphatic NO! I felt extremely proud of her, but I’m always proud of her and each of her accomplishments and

er to getting folks on the path to recovery. Medicaid expansion has already helped hundreds of thousands in Ohio receive treatment, and we need to build off that success to make sure all treatment options are on the table for all Ohioans, regardless of their insurance.” “We have a heroin and prescription drug crisis in our state and this bipartisan bill would remove

an unnecessary barrier that is limiting access to residential treatment in Ohio,” said Portman. “This measure will build on the work of CARA and CURES to expand options for Ohioans seeking substance abuse treatment by allowing residential facilities to treat more than 16 people under Medicaid. This is a necessary change and I’m urging the full Senate to act on

this issue as quickly as possible.” The Medicaid CARE Act would modify current law to allow Medicaid coverage for up to 40 beds at accredited residential addiction treatment facilities for up to 60 consecutive days. Medicaid covers 50 percent of all addiction treatment in Ohio, so lifting this cap is critical to ensuring that Ohioans on Medicaid get care.

Old track used in new track saves community dollars GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Large equipment moved into place at 7:00 a.m. Monday morning and soon had the former track ready for use in construction of the new track, saving the Friends of Harmon Field project a nice amount ďŹ nancially. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were here bright and early this morning grinding up the track,â&#x20AC;? said Greenville Athletics Director Dusty Yingst. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will then use the grindings here from the track to lay on the new track as part of that sub-base.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two purposes,â&#x20AC;? explained Greenville School Board Member and Friends of Harmon Field steering committee member Dave Ernst of the track removal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One, they can repurpose all this track â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the six lanes around Harmon Field, save time, money, energy and use it into the base layer underneath the

ďŹ eld turf system.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is kinda neat. Oberer Thompson brought that to us as a cost savings measure to be able to use the actual grindings from the existing track,â&#x20AC;? said Yingst. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truck loads and truck loads of gravel that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to bring in now.â&#x20AC;? With the old track used as the base for the new track, Greenville athletes will continue to run on the old six lane Harmon Field track long into the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It (old track) will lay underneath the new track,â&#x20AC;? noted Yingst. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is pretty neat. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a piece of history thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going into the new track.â&#x20AC;? While the track was being pulverized, large equipment began tilling the existing natural grass football and soccer ďŹ eld for removal to make ready for the new artiďŹ cial turf ďŹ eld. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are pulverize the track and tilling the ďŹ eld for removal,â&#x20AC;? explained Oberer Thompson Job Superintendent Mike Beam.

The ďŹ&#x201A;ag pole will stay where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at on the south end. They will remove both play clocks to do their work and then they will re-install the play clocks in the same spot.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Goal posts come out,â&#x20AC;? added Yingst. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brand new goal posts coming in. Two brand new portable soccer goals will come with that as well. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have the traditional gooseneck ďŹ eld goals now and portable soccer goals that we can push around and move.â&#x20AC;? With the new track and the new turf at the existing football stadium, Greenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new facility is only halfway to completion physically and ďŹ nancially. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have the ďŹ rst two phases under way with the track and the ďŹ eld turf system but the ďŹ eld house and the stadium are the next two phases,â&#x20AC;? explained Ernst. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re halfway to our goal.

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Greenville High School and The Lady Wave Softball (LWSB) program presented Spring Sports Awards recently in the high school cafeteria. A team including four seniors that helped give Lady Wave Softball Coach Jerrod Newland and the program a 397-78 record over the coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15 years at the helm, took home their share of awards on the night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was deďŹ nitely an honor for me and it was a great privilege to play and be a part of Lady Wave Softball,â&#x20AC;? said LWSB senior catcher Alli Hill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned so much these last four years, even in junior high and growing up. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been at the softball diamonds in Greenville and coach (Newland) has always been there teaching me all kinds of things like, just life lessons in general, teamwork.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so glad I started when I was little and stuck with it all the way through,â&#x20AC;? continued Hill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so lucky that I had my parents behind me and all my friends.â&#x20AC;? Hill clubbed her ďŹ rst

blast over the center ďŹ eld fence to help put the Lady Wave in the Elite Eight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was awesome,â&#x20AC;? Hill said of her homerun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always joked about how I have never got a homerun, but it was so awesome to ďŹ nally get it and see how many people it actually effected and how many people came up and hugged me and told me how awesome it was. It was just a great day.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Probably the best thing,â&#x20AC;? said senior Karsyn Shaffer, a 2nd-Team AllOhio player. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really cool getting to know everyone from every different grade and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great thing to be a part â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something bigger than yourself, something as successful as our program.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls made it a fun season,â&#x20AC;? said senior Makayla Hanes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a blast.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (coaches) teach you a lot of responsibility and a lot of life lessons,â&#x20AC;? added Hames. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They make it a lot of fun.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You deďŹ nitely have to be strong to do that,â&#x20AC;? said senor role-player Lauren Baughn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more about being a part of the team and doing what you can to

Just proud of what we did for Greenville, Greenville City Schools and the fans of Lady Wave Softball.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeing great kids moving on in life,â&#x20AC;? continued Newland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about. Just proud of the kids, the program and what everybody does.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just makes you a proud pop,â&#x20AC;? Newland added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just has to give you the sense of fulďŹ llment to see your kids succeed and do things like that. Blood, sweat and Tears. You just leave it out there â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lady Wave Softball.â&#x20AC;? Each of the four Lady Wave seniors will continue their education while playing the game they love at the schools of higher education they will be attending.

County athletes get outstanding track and ďŹ eld results BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

COLUMBUS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; While Versailles produced two state champions at the OHSAA State Track & Field Meet, athletes from around the county brought home their share of medals, PRs and a feeling of accomplishment. Franklin Monroeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nicole Berry was a state qualiďŹ er for a third consecutive year, but this was her ďŹ rst time to make it to the podium. Division three was by far the toughest girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shot put division of the three this year. Going into the meet she was ranked fourth in the state and two of the three in front of her were in division three. The match-up featured a new state record and throws not normally seen at the state meet. Berry set a new school record with her third place throw of 47â&#x20AC;˛ 3.75.â&#x20AC;? The two throws in front of her hit 49â&#x20AC;˛ 6â&#x20AC;ł and 48â&#x20AC;˛ 11.5â&#x20AC;ł. The top throw in division two was 46â&#x20AC;˛. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought I did alright,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came in wanting to throw my best and I bettered my outdoor PR and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for more than that.â&#x20AC;? Berry will wear the blue and white for one more meet when she competes against the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

best throwers at New Balance Nationals in Greensboro, NC on June 18. In division 1, Greenville sent two pole vaulters to the state meet and both came home with medals. Senior A.J. Frensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vault of 15â&#x20AC;˛ was good for fourth place and Ryan Trickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 14â&#x20AC;˛ 4â&#x20AC;ł vault earned sixth place. After his ďŹ rst vault, Frens came off the mat telling his coach, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Better than last year.â&#x20AC;? Last year, Frens had an injury plagued ending to his season and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clear a height at the state meet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels good. I ended up better than last year, which was what I was shooting for,â&#x20AC;? he said. In seventh grade, the coaches pulled Frens to the side and wanted him to try pole vault. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the best decision I ever made,â&#x20AC;? he said. The teammates have been best friends and even coordinate which socks they will wear at meets. Frens got choked up talking about their friendship, â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is the best teammate I could ask for. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of lived in my shadow the past couple years, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited to see what he can do next year.â&#x20AC;? Trick returned the compliments, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like the older brother I never had.â&#x20AC;? Trick was hesitant when assessing whether or not

he achieved what he wanted to achieve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think so,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With my PR being 15â&#x20AC;˛ 1â&#x20AC;ł this year, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m deďŹ nitely satisďŹ ed with that, but I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pleased with my overall outcome today.â&#x20AC;? Frens has at least one more meet before heading off to college. He also will be heading to the New Balance Nationals to compete in pole vault. Ansonia sent two athletes to the podium with senior Lydia Sink and freshman Brock Shellhaas. Sink returned to the state meet

after injuries kept her out last year and ďŹ nished in eighth in long jump with a leap of 16â&#x20AC;˛ 10.5â&#x20AC;ł. She said she was disappointed Lydia Sink, a senior at Ansonia, capped off an incredible high school at ďŹ rst when they told her career with an eighth place ďŹ nish in long jump. she was in ninth, but a few minutes later they got the here.â&#x20AC;?

Add two more to list of state championships BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

COLUMBUS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Versailles seems to always excel on the big stage and track & ďŹ eld is no different. Usually a perennial powerhouse in the relay events, the Tigers showed they are capable competing at a high level in some of the other events also. The Tigers brought home plenty of hardware and two state championships from the OHSAA D2 State Track & Field Meet. The best performances came from Jenna Frantz and Josh Steinbrunner. Frantz competed and medaled in the three events. She rose above all other division 2 female pole vaulters to earn a state championship with a vault of 12â&#x20AC;˛ 9â&#x20AC;ł (PR). She also took third in long jump with a leap of 18â&#x20AC;˛ 5.5â&#x20AC;ł (PR) and was part of the 4x100m Relay team that ďŹ nished sixth. Steinbrunner only competed in one event, but he made the most of it. The junior hurdler earned a state championship in the 110m Hurdles with a time of 14.54, just fourhundredths of a second in front of the second place ďŹ nisher. Frantz admitted regionals taught her a lot about what she needed to do at the state meet. In practices leading up to her championship run, she started

working with a bigger pole. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a bigger pole than Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been on before,â&#x20AC;? said the senior pole vaulter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I trusted it was going to work and it did.â&#x20AC;? Her third place in long jump helped propel her to doing well in pole vault. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes long jump is a warm up for me in pole vault. I get a lot run of throughs at about the same distance.â&#x20AC;? After not being able to compete at the state meet last year due to a concussion, Frantz said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year was my year of redemption. I did exactly what I came here to do.â&#x20AC;? Steinbrunner attributed his win to a great start. He said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I think we all had great starts. I think we all hit hurdles, too, but I hit less hurdles and pulled out a lead to ďŹ nish.â&#x20AC;? After leaning at the line, Steinbrunner said he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

sure if he got the win or not. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could only see two lanes over.â&#x20AC;? A quick look at the video board in the stadium put a smile on his face. Steinbrunner is already looking to next year and wants to return to repeat in the 110m Hurdles, but also wants a chance to challenge for a win in the 300m Hurdles. Frantz wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only Versailles pole vaulter to stand tall on the podium. Freshman Lucy Prakel ďŹ nished in sixth place with a vault of 11â&#x20AC;˛ 2â&#x20AC;ł. She earned a second medal with the 4x100m Relay team. The 11â&#x20AC;˛ 2â&#x20AC;ł vault was a PR for Prakel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think of all the hard work Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone through this season to improve so much,â&#x20AC;? she said. Although her goal coming into the meet was to get on the podium, Prakel wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure if that was a realistic

goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was in my dreams and I was visualizing what it would be like.â&#x20AC;? Prakel praised Frantz for her help throughout the season, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her expectations for me were higher than mine. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raised my self-esteem so much.â&#x20AC;? In addition to Frantz and Prakel, the sixth place 4x100m Relay team included Ava Moran and Ellen Peters. Frantz said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a great way to end my career.â&#x20AC;? Peters added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a really fast race and I think we left it all out there. We really improved from last year.â&#x20AC;? Moran said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was my main goal to walk out with a medal. We knew it was going to be hard and anything can happen.â&#x20AC;? Prakel added she could stand on the podium forever, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a feeling I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t explain.â&#x20AC;? Joe Spitzer became the

sixth different Tiger to go to the podium with his third place ďŹ nish in the 3200m Run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a really hard race; the heat and everything. The times werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite what they

were in other races. I did good. I had my third best time.â&#x20AC;? He explained he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it to state last year so his third place ďŹ nish is better than what he thought he would ďŹ nish.

Schmidt’s donates to Darke County Parks GREENVILLE

– Schmidt’s Refrigeration has supported Darke County Parks for over 20 years. When the park district built the Nature Center facility at Shawnee Prairie Preserve in 1997, Schmidt’s handled installing the HVAC system, and they have worked with the park board to maintain and upgrade the system throughout the years. At the April 13 Darke County Parks Board of Commissioners meeting, Greg and Lori Schmidt, owners of Schmidt’s Refrigeration, presented the park district with a donation made possible through cost saving efforts on their last project for the Nature Center. The Darke County Park Board of Commissioners would like to thank Schmidt’s Refrigeration for their continued support and for answering the parks’ needs during both hot and cold weather so that the Nature Center and staff may carry on serving and educating Darke County residents in comfort.

which benefited the Cancer Association of Darke County. Committee members for the tournament are Matt and Angie Arnold, Kent and Lynn James, Todd and Beth Durham, Ray and Bettye Laughlin, Ed and Kay Curry, and Larry Ullery and Christine Lynn. Last year’s tournament was very successful and the event raised $17,200 for the Cancer Association of Darke County. This fundraiser helped the association to provide benefits to over 250 Darke County residents battling cancer. This year’s tournament is scheduled for July 24 at the Turtle Creek Golf Course and will feature a shotgun start with scramble format, chances to win great prizes and dinner for the golfer and their guest. Most importantly, the proceeds from this fun and exciting event will once again benefit the local and independent Cancer Association of Darke County.

Lunch will be served at 11:15 a.m. with tee off time scheduled for 12:15 p.m. Each golfer has the opportunity to win a new car for a hole-in-one on the sixth and 17th hole. Any golfer getting a hole-in-one in the eighth hole will win their choice of premium golf equipment. The golfer getting a hole-in-one on the 11th hole will win a Yamaha Golf Cart. This year a new opportunity is being introduced for those who want to support local cancer patients. A Garden of Memories will be located at the golf course and will honor those who are gone but never forgotten. To remember a loved one on the day of the tournament, garden signs will be available at $100 each and will be placed in the Garden of Memories. If you would like to order a sign for this event or need more information on the golf outing, call 5489960 for details or email director@cadcinfo.org.

Laffalot Camp equals summer fun BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

PITSBURG – Taking a well-deserved pizza break on their second day of Laffalot Summer Camp, Franklin Monroe elementary students summed up their experiences so far with one word – fun. “We’re having fun,” said Reed Brumbaugh, 8, on Tuesday, June 6. “That’s what summer’s all about,” said Aidan Williams, 11. This is the second year students age 6-12 have had the opportunity to attend the week-long Laffalot Summer Camp at Franklin Monroe. The camp was developed by Cincinnati-area physical education teacher Pat Nymberg in 1990, and has become a popular summer camp for schools from Northern Kentucky to the Toledo area. Led by local teachers at each location, children spend the day participating in sports and games

to help develop teamwork, learn sportsmanship and other life skills for success. Franklin Monroe phys ed teacher Duane Warvel and sixth-grade teacher Amanda Wackler kept the 14 FM students attending Camp Laffalot busy with a variety of activities. “We want kids to have a commitment to physical activity,” Warvel said. “We incorporate teamwork, sportsmanship and fair play.” Warvel mentioned how today’s young students are challenged with ﬁnding ways to participate in needed physical activity when “we live in such a tech world.” Laffalot Summer Camp sports and games are not focused on the score, Warvel said, but instead the participants concentrate on “keeping on task, on what’s important while playing.” Teammates also learn how to “work on making each other better” players,

he noted. “Parents who enroll their children in Laffalot Summer Camp know they’ll be in a safe environment, just like in school,” Warvel added. Along with sportsmanship, game technique and team work, students learn qualities to help them with everyday challenges. Eight-year-old Owen Johnson said he was learning the value of “honesty”

during Laffalot Summer Camp. “And helping people,” added Brumbaugh. “We’re learning how to deal with competition,” Williams said. The boys said they were excited to be playing dodge ball at the end of the day’s events. “We’re also going to play wifﬂeball and tennis,” said the excited Brumbaugh.

GREENVILLE – The Ladybug Garden Club and the Butterﬂies Junior Garden Club observed Arbor Day by donating a Red Sunset Maple to the Greenville City Park. An additional Red Sunset tree was donated by the Ladybug’s in memory of Illah Sink who was a member at that club. Presenting the donation to Ryan Delk, Greenville Street Department Superintendent, was Tiffany Stebbins Arbor Day chairman for the Ladybug’s and Mariana Ramos, Arbor Day chairman for the Butterﬂies Junior Garden Club. Tree donor applications can be found on the City of Greenville website.

FATHERS – BE WELL! 9 Screening Tests for Men Men, when was the last time you went to the doctor? I don’t necessarily like to make a routine visit either, but it is so important that you get regular checkups and screening tests. Baseline tests can help your doctor know how your health is changing over time. Plus, many diseases like high blood pressure are silent killers. Here’s a simple screening cheat sheet to make your life easier. 1. Abdominal aortic aneurysm. If you have ever smoked, get this ultrasound test one time between ages 65 and 75. This test will show whether or not your largest artery (abdominal aorta) is bulging. If it is, it may burst, putting you at risk for bleeding—and even death. 2. Blood pressure. Starting at age 18 get tested yearly. 3. Cholesterol. From age 20 to 34, get a regular cholesterol test if you are at increased risk for heart disease. At age 35, get an annual cholesterol test. 4. Colorectal cancer. Get screened for colorectal cancer from age 50 to 75. This screening may include one or more tests, such as fecal occult blood testing or colonoscopy. Ask your doctor which test is best for you and how often you need it. 5. Depression. Ask your doctor about being screened for depression if over the past few months: • You have felt sad or hopeless • You have lost interest or

pleasure in doing the things you normally enjoy 6. Diabetes. Starting at age 18, get a fasting blood glucose test annually. 7. Hepatitis C virus (HCV). Get screened once if you: • Were born between 1945 and 1965. • Have ever injected drugs. • Received a blood transfusion before 1992. 8. Lung cancer. Ask your doctor whether or not to be screened if you: • Are between 55 and 80. • Presently Smoker, or have smoked in the past. 9. Overweight and obesity. This is a test you can do yourself. Find your body mass index (BMI) by entering your weight and height into an online BMI calculator. Discuss with your doctor whether you are at increased risk for any other diseases. If so, you may need other tests. Be honest with your health care provider and me. Be sure to let us know what worries you—whether it’s your weight, alcohol use, or challenges with anxiety. Think of us as your partners in health. We can do a much better job of helping you if we fully understand your health challenges and concerns.

mals and a river so the animals can drink.” Soon-to-be secondgrader Jak Keyser, 7, of Greenville, said he’s starting his third year attending the library’s Lego Club. “Every time we build something on the theme,” Keyser said. His mom, Tracy Keyser, said she’d been bringing Jak to the library’s activities since he was about 15 months old. “It helps to surround them with other kids, provide educational (opportunities) and helps them learn to share,” she said of the library offerings for the elementary age group. Children’s Librarian Julie Kennett says the Lego Club for children age 6-11 has been a very popular addition to the children’s department. “We decided to do it monthly,” Kennett said. During the school year, the club meets in the evenings. During the summer, it’s an afternoon event complete with 40-45 minutes of building with Legos, taking the creations to a special display cabinet where they can be viewed by the public throughout the next month, then a snack and story time.

Know the 10 Signs program scheduled

GREENVILLE – In accordance with its mission of “Building healthy lives… together,” Family Health’s Behavioral Health and Wellness Center is hosting a Wellness in Mind, Body and Spirit program series. Speakers from Family Health, YMCA, Wayne Healthcare, among many other community organizations will present programs and activities to enhance health and wellbeing from a whole person perspective. The Behavioral Health and Wellness center is excited to host, The Alzheimer’s Association of the Miami Valley’s program “Know the 10 Signs”. The warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease are often dismissed as side effects of normal aging. If you or someone you know is experiencing memory loss or behavioral changes, it’s time to learn the facts. Early detection gives you a chance to begin drug therapy, enroll in clinical studies and plan for the future. Attend this interactive workshop to learn the 10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s disease. We’ll separate myth from reality and address commonlyheld fears about Alzheimer’s in America. Join The Alzheimer’s Association and the Behavioral Health and Wellness Center on June 12 to hear their free educational message “Know the 10 Signs.” The program will be held at the Behavioral Health and Wellness Center, 1101 Jackson St., Greenville (The Reid Medical Building next to Family Health) at 6:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be provided. Contact the Behavioral Health and Wellness Center at (937) 547-2319 with questions and/or if you are interested in attending. Reservations are not required to attend, but are appreciated to provide adequate seating and materials.

The stories, Kennett said, often go with the speciﬁc theme the children are using to create their display. The themes are often seasonal, Kennett said, with others coming from suggestions found online or from children’s books. “We try to give them some ideas, but don’t want to give them too much. We want to let them be creative,” Kennett said. Each child gets to display their name along with their creation. “We’ve even had some dads come and build,” laughed Kennett. “They get to put their names on their display, also.” In 2014, the Lego company selected the Greenville Public Library as one of 15 in the state to receive a donation of 10,000 Legos, Kennett said. “Before that we just asked for donations,” Kennett explained. The library board also has been very generous in supporting the children’s department efforts with the Lego Club, donating blocks for the regular club as well as purchasing larger blocks to be used in the library’s new Robotics Lego Club, which starts June 14. For more information about the library’s Lego Club or other children’s activities, call 548-3915 or go online to www. greenville-publiclibrary. org Next month’s Lego Club for ages 6-11 will be at 1 p.m. July 13, in the children’s activity room.

of activity. Brethren Retirement Community will celebrate on June 21st from sunrise, 6:03am to sunset, 9:05pm and will raise funds and awareness to advance the efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association. The day will be ﬁlled with numerous activities that all are invited to attend, but will feature walkers around our beautiful pond for the 16 hour, day-long event. Residents, their families, staff, and the greater community are invited to join in the walking. We are also in need of volunteers to help push wheelchairs around the pond so all who want to participate can join in on the fun. Walkers can walk all or part of the day and will be able to see the luminaries surrounding the pond that will be purchased in honor of or in memory of a loved one. The luminaries will be lit at sunset during a special ceremony with a guest speaker from the Alzheimer’s Association, with all the names being read at that time. In 2016, they walked over 250 miles during the event. This event has generated over $4,000 for the Miami Valley Alzheimer’s Association. Their Longest Day honors those living with dementia and their caregivers. It is important to remember this long, busy day is what their lives are like day after day. This event not only raises awareness that Alzheimer’s disease is a mind-robbing condition, “The Longest Day” honors both groups for their stamina and endurance as this devastating disease, with no cure, progresses. Join them for this very special event. If you are interested in purchasing a luminary or participating in the event, call 547-7655 for more information.

Stagecoach featured at library’s film series GREENVILLE – Join the Greenville Public Library on Thursday, June 22, 7 p.m., for Stagecoach, a 1939 American Western film directed by John Ford starring Claire Trevor and John Wayne in his breakthrough role as Ringo Kid.

The film follows a group of strangers riding on a stagecoach through dangerous Apache territory.

Stagecoach was the first of many Westerns that Ford shot using Monument Valley in the southwest as a location. In 1995 the film was deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in their National Film Registry. Ryan Carpe will be leading a brief discussion after the movie and as always there will be free theater popcorn, candy, coffee, and Jones Soda. We hope to see you there.

Here, students were asked to identify various types of trees and a variety of different pieces of forestry equipment. The teams also engaged in timber cruising, which challenges their abilities to measure and calculate the amount of lumber (logs) that could be harvested from a tree. The Ansonia team swooped into ﬁrst place in this event. The top scoring individuals for this event were Amber Bergman of Ansonia, ﬁrst place; Hunter Herrick from Upper Valley, second place; Noah Schnipke, also from Upper Valley, third place. Another activity the FFA students participated in was the landscaping competition. Participants were asked to identify landscaping tools and various types of common landscaping plants. This event concluded with students showcasing their talents by completing a landscaping design test. The Upper Valley School

won this event. The highest scoring individuals were Zac Gordon from Upper Valley, first place; Robert Christman of Ansonia, second place; Beth Cain from Upper Valley, third place. The final activity for this exciting competition was the forestry Olympics. Students participated in the two man saw, canery hook race, and the log toss. The Ansonia team soared to first place in this event, next up was Upper Valley, and finally Newton.

Council holds off acting Wayne debuts employee-produced AIDET video The ﬁlm features lyrics SUSAN on kiosk legislation written by the commitHARTLEY RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Darke County Visitors Bureau (DCVB) and Main Street Greenville (MSG) are still trying to clear hurdles put in place by the city to install an informational kiosk outside their office on South Broadway. Legislation to approve the installation was presented to Greenville City Council on June 6, but council refused to act on the ordinance. Council generally suspends its rules and gives the legislation the required three readings at one meeting and then approves or rejects the ordinance. They failed to get the required votes needed to suspend the rules, which means the ordinance will receive its second and possibly third reading at the June 20 meeting of council. Because legislation must layover 30 days before it becomes law, the earliest DCVB and MSG could install the kiosk would be July 20. Council members complained they did not receive the legislation until 4:30 p.m., three hours prior to the council meeting, and did not have enough time to read the legislation before the meeting. Matt Staugler, executive director of DCVB, was on-hand to answer questions council members had concerning the kiosks and the legislation. “I am at council’s disposition here tonight to answer any final concerns or questions you may have,” he said. Councilman Todd Oliver said his biggest concern from the previous meeting was whether or not DCVB would be able to sell advertising on the kiosk. “We asked for the same consideration we received from the village of Versailles,” Staugler said, but continued, “We are amenable to the city’s wishes to prohibit advertising on this kiosk and that is reflected in the agreement.” Councilman Clarence Godwin asked if DCVB was still requesting the city street department install the sign. “The agreement language states the city will do its best to expedite that. We have received commit-

ments from the county park district and/or the county highway department to install with assistance from Mr. (Ryan) Delk should scheduling become too big of an issue.” He explained they would like to get the kiosk in the ground quickly since we are already in the summer season and tour groups are coming in. Councilperson Dori Howdieshell asked who would be responsible for the sign once it is installed. Staugler responded, “That is in the agreement. This is still owned by the visitors bureau. We will take care of it and maintain it. It is covered by our liability insurance.” Council President John Burkett asked if DCVB moved to a new location would the kiosk need to be moved? “There is language in the agreement if that situation should arise,” said Staugler. In other business, Safety Service Director Curt Garrison informed council of the possibility of setting up redevelopment districts in the city. These districts can be set up around a historic building or district and encompass 10-acres of land. When a developer or owner of a building improves a building or builds in that 10-acre area, the city would receive 70 percent of the increase in the property tax in the form of a TIF (Tax Increment Financing). That TIF can be used for loan forgiveness (if the developer borrowed funds from the city) or public infrastructure improvements. Garrison pointed out one of the areas that could be included in the redevelopment district would be the Marsh building on Martin Street. Council will hold a work session on June 27, 6 p.m., to host a consultant that will explain the program. If the city chooses to move forward with the program, the consultant will help the city set up the redevelopment districts for a cost of $20,000. Council also approved appropriating $100,000 to complete the Marling Band Shell. The additional funds would pay for the installation of restrooms and a security gate.

County to purchase new equipment SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – County commission approved $23,378.69 in new equipment for the county’s vehicle maintenance department during their regular session Monday, June 5. The equipment, which will be purchased from MAC Tools, Auto Zone, Advance Auto Parts and Longworth, will be installed in the former ODOT building, 1141 Martin St., where the county’s maintenance department will be relocating. John Cook, county business administrator and

county mechanic Tom Stephenson met prior to the meeting to look over quotes. “We reviewed all quotes and what everyone’s offerings were,” Cook said, noting they still have to make a decision on a four-post lift. Commissioner Matt Aultman said he was “satisﬁed with the homework” Cook and Stephenson did with the quotes and “with getting everything coordinated.” Also Monday, commissioners learned the county had received an ODOT grant for $32,486, to be used for the Darke County Airport taxiway repair.

GREENVILLE – A touch of Hollywood came to Wayne HealthCare on Wednesday. The debut of AIDET, a short film produced by hospital employees was held in the hospital’s third floor conference room, complete with a red carpet and popcorn for mostly hospital personnel coming to screen the first showings of the film before it debuts on www. waynehospital.com. The video, which lasts about 7 minutes, features a core group of five employees who are members of the Wayne HealthCare Outpatient/Patient Satisfaction Committee. The five – Kimberly Rhotehamel, Michele Acker, Darcy Buckingham, Sharlyn Hickey, and Beverly Thornburg – were tasked with finding a way to use the AIDET concept – Acknowledge, Introduce, Duration, Explanation, and Thank You – to provide positive healthcare experiences for Wayne patients and their families.

tee to the tune of Michael Jackson’s 1982 hit, Beat It. The ﬁve “stars” of the video even found Jackson-look-alike red band uniforms. According to Thornburg, a medical assistant in the outpatient rehab department, the band uniforms were being sold online by a school in Texas. The group has been working on the video since October, said Rhotehamel, who works as a nuclear medicine technologist. “Our hope is that it will enhance our patient’s expectations and how they interact with our co-workers,” she explained, noting that several employees helped make the video possible. “The video can be used by employees to remind us our patients are number one,” Thornburg said, as well as by patients. “We wanted to go out of our way to make you (patients) feel welcome.” The video, which features humorous situations using hospital employees from every department – from housekeeping to

maternity to surgery, will be available to view on the hospital’s website and social media, said Terri Flood, director of marketing and communications. “The video’s a fun way to talk about patient experiences,” Flood said. “We hope it will help with our patients’ experiences as well as our employees.” Flood said the AIDET project turned out to be a “morale booster” among

employees, who will be encouraged to share the video through their own social media accounts. AIDET is a communication technique, trademarked by the Studer Group, LLC. The concept helps medical personnel understand the fundamental elements that patients and family members need to decrease anxiety and build trust with caregivers.

Chamber recognizes local law enforcement efforts at annual meeting CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE - The Darke County Chamber of Commerce honored two local law enforcement officers at its annual meeting on Friday, June 2 at Romer’s. Darke County Chief Deputy Mark Whittaker and Greenville Police Chief Dennis Butts were awarded for their standout contribution and service to help improve the community. Chief Deputy Whittaker was awarded with the Chamber’s Citizen of the Year Award, while Chief Butts was the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award at Friday’s event. Whittaker was presented the award from last year’s recipient John Marchal, Sr. “The 2017 Chamber Citizen of the Year Award reflects the proactive leadership that one person in law enforcement has achieved by bringing individuals and groups together to discuss and develop solutions for some of the most pressing public-safety issues that we face today,” Marchal explained. “Our recipient has effectively facilitated communication among law enforcement, citizens and business by promoting a closer relationship with the Sheriff’s Office and Sheriff Toby Spencer,” Marchal noted. “For the first time in the history of the Chamber, a member of law enforcement is serving on the Chamber Board of Directors. Over the years he (Whittaker) has exemplified the highest level of professionalism and leadership in his service to law enforcement and in his service to our community.” Additionally, Whittak-

er serves on the Coalition for a Healthy Darke County Board of Directors and is the Sheriff’s representative on the Local Emergency Planning Committee. Since last year’s recipient, Jim Buchy, was unable to make the meeting, Chamber President Sharon Deschambeau presented Chief Butts with the Lifetime Achievement Award. “One man, CAN make a difference,” she emphasized. “We have witnessed ﬁrsthand his commitment to the community in his work beginning in 2014 with the Coalition for a Healthy Darke County. He was visionary in recognizing the link between mental health, addiction and community safety. He has attended countless meetings to share his expertise and experience with businesses and community members. Additionally, with his leadership as the Chairman of the Tri-County Board, plans are underway to bring much needed in-patient rehabilitative services to the residents of Darke County.” “He has spent 30 years living the mission of the City of Greenville Police Department, which is to create a safe and comfortable community in which all people can live, work and visit. He has provided the highest quality of law enforcement possible and has held his ofﬁcers accountable to the community and national professional standards,” Deschambeau noted about Chief Butts. “ He has exhibited excellence in his career, commitment to the community, and leadership as a citizen of Darke County.” Aside from law enforcement, Butts coaches little league baseball and softball in Greenville. He is a life-

long member of the community and graduated from Greenville High School. The Chamber also recognized former board chairman, Matt Aultman, who is now a Darke County Commissioner. Aultman received a plaque and gavel from current chairman Tony Roberts. In addition to the Chamber awards, the Darke County Visitor’s Bureau presented former Fair Manager and Darke County advocate Daryl Rifﬂe with their Tourism Citizen of the Year honor.

“Daryl’s contributions to tourism in Darke County are extensive. It was an honor to present this award to him,” said Executive Director Matt Staugler. Prior to the awards presentations, those in attendance also heard from special guest speaker Tom Raga, Dayton Power & Light President and CEO...who talked about the past, present and future of the DP&L company.

GREENVILLE – On May 4, four Greenville High School NJROTC Cadets had the privilege of attending a banquet held by the Friends of the NRA. At the banquet, Cadets were able to meet several local, state representatives and Lt. Governor Mary Taylor. The Cadets also accepted a $6,000 grant the unit received from the NRA for air riﬂe equipment.

High school students earn degrees at ESCC PIQUA – Of the nearly 400 students who had credentials conferred, 36 high school students walked amongst their associate degree earning peers during Edison State Community College’s 42nd annual spring commencement ceremony. Darke County high school students, which accounted for nearly half of the high school graduates, were able to accomplish this thanks to the College Credit Plus (CCP) program. CCP helps high-achieving students get a jump-start on their college careers while saving on tuition costs. Shayna Emrick, who graduated from TriVillage High School and Edison State Community College concurrently, plans to continue her higher education journey next fall at Ball State University. “The College Credit Plus program has given me the tools that I need to continue on my career path,” said Emrick. “Over the course of two years, I have gained new skills and opportunities that I wouldn’t have been granted if I had only attended high school. I have been able to grow in my field and gain the confidence needed to continue on my path.” “Ultimately, I would like to become a high school English teacher or college professor,” added Emrick. “There are so many ways that Edison State has benefitted me that I can’t possibly put them all into words.” Franklin Monroe student Hunter Rich echoed Emrick’s sentiments. “The College Credit Plus program at Edison State has allowed me to cut the time it will take for me to get my bachelor’s degree down to two years, instead of four, which has saved me both time and money.” Rich will attend The Ohio State University in the fall to work towards a bachelor’s degree in health sciences. After completing his bachelor’s degree, Rich plans to attend graduate school to become a physician’s assistant. Both Emrick and Rich opted to take advantage of Edison State’s Associ-

ate of Arts and Associate of Science transfer degrees, which allows them to transfer seamlessly upon graduating to any four-year university in Ohio and beyond. “We’re proud to have such a large number of high school students who also graduated with an associate degree,” said Chad Beanblossom, Executive Dean of the Darke County Campus. “The motivation and dedication of these students is inspirational, and I’m certain they have bright futures ahead of them.” This spring, the Darke County Campus experienced dramatic growth including a 21-percent increase in headcount and a 32-percent increase in credit hours. This growth comes thanks to not only adult and online learners, but also the number of CCP students, which has more than doubled since the previous spring. Now in its third year, CCP has built on the success of previous programs such as PSEOP and dual enrollment. Through the program, students have the opportunity to earn up to 60 college credits in two years before graduating from high school. Course credits earned are transferable to four-year universities under strong articulation agreements. Local high school students graduating with associate degrees: Bradford – Adria Roberts; National Trail – Cierra Rinehart; Franklin Monroe – Jade Besecker, Hanna Eley, Taylor Hackney, Jessica Hinshaw, Brett Lavy, Emilee Morris, Hunter Rich, Maddison Schaar, and Cole Skelton; Greenville – Gabrielle Sprinkle; and Tri-Village High School – Shayna Emrick, Danika Mann, Rachel Miller, Gavin Richards, and Makenzie Stucky.

CND plans fundraiser July 14-16 in St. Henry ST. HENRY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Center for Neurological Development in Burkettsville offers hope to individuals that suffer neurological impairment from brain and spinal cord injury or damage, stroke, Cerebral Palsy, Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Downâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s syndrome, and learning disabilities. Through physical therapy the undamaged brain cells are encouraged to become activated and take over bodily functions. Hurt brain cells are bombarded with stimulation, both passively and actively by engaging the four stages of mobility development; crawling, creeping, standing and walking. The center is equipped for children and adults and

includes a tutor department for those requiring speech and cognitive stimulation. Clients receive their care free of charge, but to enroll they must be evaluated by the Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certiďŹ ed sensorimotor developmentalist, with reevaluations approximately every four months. The Center was founded in 1984 by ďŹ ve Mercer County families. Until June 2002 the Center operated, rent free, in a retired school building owned by St. Peter Catholic Parish near Ft. Recovery. They moved to their present location, which was much larger, when St. Henry School District offered the building for $1. The Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff consists of a director, assistant director, secretary, therapists,

and well trained volunteers who aid the clients in carrying out their therapy. The Center receives no state or federal assistance, relying solely on charity drives and ďŹ nancial contributions from the community. One of their biggest fundraisers will be a threeday event held in July at Wendelin Sports Club in St. Henry on July 14â&#x20AC;&#x201C;16. On July 15 there will be a poker run/hog roast and a Harley rafďŹ&#x201A;e. Sign-in for the poker run begins at noon with the ďŹ rst bikes out at 1 p.m. and the last bike in at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 per person/$25. RafďŹ&#x201A;e tickets for a 2017 Harley Davidson Street Glide are $10 per ticket. The bike can be seen at Brick Street Tavern.

Morton Buildings is now employee-owned Morton, ILâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Morton Buildings, Inc., the industry leader in post-frame manufacturing and construction with an ofďŹ ce in Greenville, announced today that 100 percent of the company is now owned by its employees. Prior owners sold their shares to the employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) Trust, giving current and future employees full ownership of the company. As an employeeowned company, Morton Buildings will continue to operate under its existing business model and management structure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This ESOP transaction will have an overwhelmingly positive effect on the company by further strengthening the historical bond among our very capable and committed employees,â&#x20AC;? said John Russell, President and CEO of Morton Buildings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Full ownership will not only increase retirement security for our Employee Owners, but will also reinforce their commitment to our loyal customer base. Employee ownership stimulates enthusiasm and changes lives.â&#x20AC;? Mortonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ESOP is a qualiďŹ ed retirement plan that can generate signiďŹ cant retirement beneďŹ ts for Morton Buildingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 1,700 Employee Owners. It is not uncommon for owners of private companies to sell their stock to an ESOP as a means of handling intergenerational wealth transfers, and for Morton Buildings it was the perfect succession plan. The former owners wanted to share the wealth with the employees

who had worked so hard to make the company successful. The result is that Mortonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employees will now own one of the 75th largest ESOP companies in the United States, according to The National Center for Employee Ownership. Since its inception in 1903 as the Interlocking Fence Company, the company built its reputation by serving customers and empowering its employees. In 1963, when Henry A. Getz became president, the business grew dramatically as he restructured the company around the construction business. Mr. Getz changed the name to Morton Buildings in 1965 and continued to lead the company until he retired in 2002. He was highly supportive of the sale to the employees. Today, Morton Buildings is the leader in the post-frame segment of the construction industry, operating in 43 states with 103 construction centers and 8 manufacturing plants. Since its inception, the company has been at the forefront of innovation, allowing talented individuals to take risks and pursue ideas to enter new market segments and new geographic areas. The entrepreneurial spirit that shaped what Morton Buildings has become today is not a product of chance, but a result of a management style inspired by Mr. Getzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership. His leadership fostered a work environment where innovation was encouraged and rewarded. To learn more, please visit www.mortonbuildings.com.

McMiller awarded BBBS scholarship SIDNEY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County recently awarded two $500 scholarships to local youth. The awardees are Kasey Copeland, daughter of Kelly and Cindy Copeland, of Jackson Center, and Justin McMiller, son of Jeff and Stacey McMiller, of New Madison. McMiller, a 2017 Greenville High School Graduate, plans to use the funds to pursue a degree at Ball State University, majoring in Accounting and minoring in criminal justice. Justin stated that â&#x20AC;&#x153;My favorite part of Big Buddies was seeing my little buddy get excited when I walked into the cafeteria.

GETTYSBURG - Kendra Chalmers, vice president of Empowering Darke County Youth, said a year and a half ago, “I want other children to have the same opportunity my children had.” She recalled her oldest, Kayden, had received tutoring over the summer in 2015, and it had helped him considerably as he was entering third grade. Her daughter, Nevaeh, who was just entering first grade, came home crying that fall… “Mom, first grade is so hard! I wish I was smart like Kayden,” she said in tears. Kendra got Nevaeh into tutoring that fall and she is now doing well. Her concern for other children went beyond simply expressing a desire; it became action. Kendra and her husband, Michael, are on the Board of Directors of the 501c3 organization. She got her family involved to hold Empowering’s first bake sale fundraiser at Walmart in March 2016. Since then, Kendra and the couple’s two children, Kayden and Nevaeh, have held bake sales at Rural King and Lavy’s Corner Mart in Gettysburg, and recently a

garage sale in Bradford. Hours of preparation and making “sales” have generated nearly $1,500 in funding for Empowering Darke County Youth’s programs. Thanks to the Chalmers family’s efforts, as well as the dozens of merchants, organizations and individuals who have supported Empowering efforts, more than 120 Darke County children have received help this past school year, just as the Chalmers children – Kayden and Nevaeh – have. The need, however, is continuous. More than 50 children have been signed

up for Summer Tutoring and a new Summer Reading Program, a 16 percent increase over last year. The organization needs ﬁnancial support and volunteers!

Realizing the benefits of cover crops program Looking for Annie Era crafts for festival EATON – In agricultural production, cover crops are those which are grown for protection and enrichment of the soil, rather than as a crop to be harvested. They’re planted in the fall either shortly before or after harvest, and you will notice them growing in wintertime when most fields typically lay bare. Some common species used as cover crops include annual ryegrass, cereal rye, wheat, oats, crimson clover, and radishes. The benefits of cover crops for soil fertility and crop growth are being proclaimed far and wide: increased organic matter

and fertility, reduced erosion, improved soil structure, weed suppression, reduced nutrient runoff, and potential increase in crop yields and reduced input costs, just to name a few. Despite this, many local farmers are not using covers. Preble Soil and Water Conservation District encourages farmers to use cover crops, and they’re sponsoring an upcoming program to discuss the beneﬁts and practical considerations to be taken into account when doing so. The program will be held June 26 at the farm of Donn and JoAnn Kolb,

It thrives in the sun room of Pat McLear and was purchased as a start 15-years ago by her mother, Ruth McLear. At ﬁrst, the geranium lived in Ruth’s garden on Dogwood Drive. It spent winters in her son’s sunny home. Then Ruth went to live at

Brookdale and Pat moved to Chestnut Circle, both Greenville addresses. Pat inherited the hardy geranium. “I water it every Sunday and fertilize it every other Sunday,” said Pat. Charlene Thornhill, master gardener and president of the Darke County Association of Garden Clubs, Butterﬂies Junior Club, Ladybug and Wildﬂower Garden Clubs, visited the McLear Geranium and said, “It is the biggest I have ever

Ruth enjoys coming to visit her daughter and “their” giant geranium. “You can witness the love and care it has received,” said Thornhill. “Many people try to overwinter geraniums with little success. This plant is a great reﬂection of the person who is caring for it and the ideal conditions she has it placed in.”
