Chamber and DCVB present Graduation options added Citizen of the Year awards for high school students BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR GREENVILLE – The Darke County Chamber of Commerce welcomed Attorney General Mike DeWine as the guest speaker at its annual meeting on June 11. Awards were presented to Mike Williams, of the Winery at Versailles, and Gloria Keller-Brinley, of the KitchenAid Experience, as the Darke County Chamber and Darke County Visitor Bureau’s (DCVB) Citizens of the Year Williams began his career as a wine maker, ﬁrst as a hobbyist and then as a full-time occupation. In 10 years, he was able to grow The Winery at Wilcox into one of the ﬁve largest in Pennsylvania. In 2002, Williams opened The Winery at Versailles and it quickly grew to be in the top 5% percent in production in Ohio. Wine making is only a small part of the impact Williams has made on the community. He is a life changer, having mentored and trained his employees to be responsible, hard working valued members of the company and community. He has worked with

ex-convicts to become skilled and useful members in the community. His patience and efforts have paid off with longtime employees that are now self-sufﬁcient. Upon receiving the award, Williams said, “This really is a shock…I certainly don’t feel I deserve this. There are so many people, a lot of them in this room, helping individuals.” He noted he grew up poor and it was one of the greatest privileges he ever had. “It taught me there are people in circumstances that are not of their own making that need a hand. So reach down, grab the next guy and give them an opportunity,” said

Williams. Keller-Brinley has been a longtime supporter of Darke County and has encouraged others to get involved in the promotion of tourism. Beginning in 1992, Kellery-Brinley started working with Whirlpool in the factory. In 2002, she began working at The KitchenAid Experience, eventually becoming the manager. Scott Hartings, treasurer of DCVB, said, “She really does represent Darke County very well and she represents KitchenAid very well.” Keller-Brinley thanked everyone for the

BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR GREENVILLE – “If this allows other doors to open for more people to advance in their training, I’m all for it,” said Greenville City Schools Superintendent Doug Fries. An added bonus from his perspective is the state will help pay for some of the costs. Fries was referring to new graduation requirements approved by the Ohio House and Senate. The bill, HB 487, awaits Gov. John Kasich’s signature. According to a representative of the Buckeye Association of School Administrators, “these changes reﬂect several of the concepts that we suggested and the State Board accepted.” One of the concepts is course completions and a sufﬁciently high score on a nationally recognized college admission examination, or an industry-recognized job credential. The State Board also considered alternate routes to a diploma, especially for students on a path to a successful career with appropriate training in one of Ohio’s career-technical programs.

Fries did not think the new requirements, which will impact the Class of 2018, incoming freshmen this fall, would lower requirements. “They are just widening the options,” he said. He added the options would be designed around state standards. The latest change replaces the Ohio Graduation Test (OGT); however it does not change the credit completion requirements. Overall, Fries believes changes have increased standards. “Employers want people who are good at problem solving and working with other people. They’re looking for a higher level of thinking.” Fries added the legislators were smart to

set the requirements to phase in over four years. “It gives everyone a chance to see how it’s working and make adjustments if necessary.” H.B. 487 will require all high school juniors to take the nationally recognized college exam, such as the ACT since it is most commonly used by state colleges. “Not everybody chooses to take the ACT,” Fries said. “There is a cost involved.” He added other students may take it two or three times because they want to improve on their scores. “I think it’s great the state provides the funding for this,” he said, noting the additional times will still have to be covered by the student.

County continues to rank high in state and nation BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR DARKE COUNTY – Number one or number two? It is usually a cause for bragging rights between Darke and Mercer Counties for the #1 county in agriculture. Unfortunately, Mercer gets to claim the bragging rights with the release of the 2012 USDA Agriculture Census. Darke County fell a little short of Mercer’s $596.3 million in total agricultural sales with $559.5 million. The two counties are responsible for over $1 billion of the $10 billion agricultural sales generated in Ohio; leaving the other 86 counties to account for $9 billion. Wayne County (Wooster) ﬁnished a distant third with $381 million generated.

Sam Custer, OSU extension agent, pointed out a majority of Ohio’s livestock is found between Greenville and Celina. Custer said, “In comparing the 2012 data with the previous census of 2007 we saw some signiﬁcant change. The number of farms decreased by 4% to 1,693. Land in farms decreased by 3% to 339,981 acres and the average size of farms increased by 2% to 201 acres.” Even with fewer farms, Darke County witnessed a 17% increase in total value, which equates to $80 million to the economy. Not only did the county rank high in the state, but it also ranked 85th out of 3,007 counties nationwide.

Nearly 700 farms in the county are considered full-time farms. There are 996 farms with part-time farmers, which means farming isn’t the primary occupation. However, 398 farms have provided jobs in the community to 1,546 workers. Nineteen of those farms account for 620 jobs. Payroll exceeded $20 million. The county’s agricultural community continues to excel in several areas, including corn (#1) and soybeans (#2) production, sale of grains (#2), poultry and eggs (#2), hogs and pigs (#2), cattle and calves (#5), and milk from cows (#7). The county also ranked high in livestock inventory – layers (#1), pullets for layer replacement (#1), turkeys (#2), hogs

An entire festival celebrating poultry is well deserved with Darke County ranking first in the nation with the number of pullets for layer replacement and second for actual layers.

They don’t spend it on elaborate vacations. They reinvest in their equipment and farm. Most of that money stays in the county – providing jobs and paying sales tax. For more information

and pigs (#2) and cattle and calves (#4). Even though there are three large egg producers in the county, Ross Medford, Cal Maine and Weaver Brothers, residents may still be surprised to learn the county is ranked ﬁrst nationally for pullets for layer replacement and second for layers. Custer pointed out a small laying operation with approximately two million birds can produce 1.8 million eggs a day. He noted the price per dozen of eggs a few weeks ago was $1.67, which means even a small operation can generate as much as $2 million day. How does all of this affect the economy? Custer was quick to point out the mindset of a farmer.

residence being full of smoke. The fire department advised the origin of the fire in the unattached garage was not known at the time but it would be investigated as a possible arson. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE On June 7 police responded to a residence where the victim said Chris Wine accused her of going through his things. He allegedly jumped on her while she was in bed to the point she couldn’t breathe. She bit his arm to get away; he jumped her again and grabbed her neck, squeezing it so she had difficulty breathing. Wine threw her on the bed again and put his hand over her mouth. The victim then asked if he was going to kill her; he allegedly said yes. The victim had a small red mark on the left side of her neck and left pinkie finger. Wine, who had left the scene, went to the Greenville Police Department and said he and the victim had gotten into an argument, but would say nothing more. He was cited for Domestic Violence and transported to the Darke County jail. DUI On June 7 police observed a gray Pontiac traveling east bound on East Main Street, allegedly travelling 50 mph in a 35 mph zone. The driver, Carissa Lloyd-Foster, was stopped for speed-

ing. The officer noticed her eyes were blood shot, her speech slurred and had an odor of alcoholic beverage coming from her person. The officer asked why she was going so fast. She allegedly answered, “I was just playing.” She did poorly on the field sobriety tests, and according to the report admitted taking prescription pills with the alcoholic beverages. Lloyd-Foster was placed under arrest and transported to Greenville Police Department. The breath test registered a .10. She was placed under ALS suspension and released to a friend. On June 8 police responded to a motorcycle crash at the intersection of Washington and Cypress. Lori Lane was lying on the ground near the motorcycle, stating she was a passenger. She appeared intoxicated and complained of leg and back injuries. She stated her boyfriend, Frankie Barker Jr., was driving the motorcycle when it crashed. Lane was transported to Wayne Hospital for treatment. A witness advised she saw sparks coming from underneath the motorcycle when it turned onto Cypress and it appeared the operator lost control. Barker was sitting on the sidewalk; he had blood on his face and scrapes on his arms and hands. He told

the officer when he attempted to turn Lane attempted to jump off the motorcycle. The officer noticed a strong odor of alcohol. Barker kept repeating himself and his speech was slurred. He said he’d had 4-5 beers. Barker was treated for his injuries and refused transport to the hospital. He did poorly on the field sobriety tests and was transported to Greenville Police Department. The breath test registered .13. Barker was cited for OVI and Failure to Maintain Reasonable Control, and placed under Administrative License Suspension. On June 6, police observed a maroon pickup on South Broadway swerve in the lane and cross the left of center. The driver, David Setser, was stopped. While attempting to do so the defendant ran into the curb. The officer noted Setser had slurred speech and a strong smell of an alcoholic beverage coming from him. Darke County had advised Greenville Police about a possible impaired driver, and a deputy arrived on the scene at this time. The deputy noticed a half full bottle of beer in an open container behind his seat. Setser performed poorly on field sobriety tests and was placed under arrest for OVI. Setser was transported to Green-

ville Police Department where he took a breath test. It measured .17. He was cited for OVI, Driving in Marked Lanes and Open Container. Setser was placed under ALS suspension and released to his wife. WANTED On June 7 police observed two individuals in the parking lot of 395 Martin St. They were known to the ofﬁcer who did a check for warrants. Josiah Stevens had a warrant out of Montgomery County for a probation violation and a warrant out of Miami County for burglary with no bond. Stevens was taken into custody and transported to the Miami County line where he was turned over to a Miami County Deputy Sheriff.

Case dismissed; prosecutor expects to reﬁle charges BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER GREENVILLE – Charges of sexual misconduct against former Darke County Auxiliary Sheriff’s Deputy Bryan D. Wombolt, 27, of Versailles have been dismissed and are set to be reﬁled according to Prosecuting Attorney Kelly Ormsby. The Darke County Prosecutor told The Early Bird both sides could not agree on a plea bargain as the trial date drew closer so the state decided to dismiss the original indicted

Bryan Wombolt

case and re-present to a June 26 Grand Jury. “We decided that if it had to go to trial we wanted to take it back with additional charges to the Grand Jury,” Ormsby

stated. Wombolt was indicted on four counts of Sexual Battery, felonies of the third degree, after an investigation that involved Wombolt engaging in sexual misconduct with a 17-year-old local high school student. The offenses allegedly occurred during February in Darke County. “My client never once used his position in this case, he and the girl that was only two months shy of her 18th birthday met and had a consensual relationship,” Wombolt’s

defense attorney David A. Rohrer told The Early Bird. “The state and the sheriff made a huge deal out of this case only because Bryan was a peace ofﬁcer at that time.” According to Rohrer, Wombolt does not want to take this case to trial, but the defense doesn’t think a lifetime of sexual registration is fair punishment for the crime. “I am not saying he didn’t make a bad choice, but I don’t feel this is a crime they want to make it out to be,” Rohrer concluded.

Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted speaks to NFIB in Greenville BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR GREENVILLE – The National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) invited Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted to Greenville for the quarterly meeting of the Western Ohio Area Action Council. Husted informed council members of some of the success Ohio is seeing with new business ﬁlings. The Secretary pointed out the newest initiative to make the Ohio income tax more uniformly administered for businesses will continue that success. The proposal is to make municipal in-

come tax codes uniform across the state and possibly have a central collection point. He has found some businesses are paying a lot of money to CPAs to stay in compliance. There are times when the fee is as much as the tax. “The compliance cost is out of control. It has to be changed,” he said. Husted noted he understands local governments have concerns about revenue, but believes streamlining the process will make a positive difference. “The business environment in Ohio is getting better. The economy is picking up,” said

Husted. When he first took office Ohio was experiencing an economic slide and lost hundreds of thousands of jobs. “We’ve gained back hundreds of thousands of jobs,” he noted. “It’s because of a lot of those things NFIB has been involved in.” Proof is in the number of business filings his office has experienced over the past few years. In both 2012 and 2013 his office set records for new businesses filing in Ohio. He pointed out 2014 is on track to set another new record. Husted, Ohio’s chief election officer, also spoke about some of the

changes in election procedure and the amount of time Ohioans are given to cast their ballot. With four election cycles each year, his ofﬁce is counting or certifying votes and dealing with other matters pertaining to voting, not including law suits, 300 of 365 days a year. He defended the extended election period noting he wants every Ohioan to have an opportunity to cast a ballot. He has removed over 700,000 deceased persons and 40,000 duplicates from the voter registration roll and his ofﬁce has pursued persons trying to com-

changes at the Bureau of Criminal Investigations (BCI). DeWine gave insight into the changing climate at the Bureau of Criminal Investigations (BCI). Under his direction, BCI has reduced the amount of time it takes to process evidence from 125 days to an average wait time of 22 days. They have also helped law enforcement agencies across the state process untested rape kits, some of which have gone untested for 20 years. The efforts have

resulted in 4,000 kits tested so far with hits on 1 of 3 DNA samples. The process has been able to provide law enforcement with names of suspects, exonerate persons and put law enforcement agencies in touch with other agencies pursuing the same individual. Through this testing, Cuyahoga County has been able to indict over 100 people. The Attorney General’s Ofﬁce is also actively pursuing ways to curtail Ohio’s drug problem. During his term, over 40

doctors have been suspended for helping individuals abuse prescription drugs. He is also trying to better educate the public on heroin and the affect it is having on communities across the state. He congratulated the Chamber for taking a stand and beginning a grassroots effort to educate the public on the county’s drug problem. Following his presentation, DeWine gave the oath of ofﬁce to the Chamber’s newest ofﬁcers and directors.

honor. She said, “From the experiences of being around my father we always talked to people. He always told us to talk to people, tell them about the county, tell them about the people around here, share your passion. He had such a passion for this area. I want to accept this in honor of him.” The Attorney General spoke about the efforts his ofﬁce has taken to curtail drug abuse and

mit fraud during an election. They found 20 persons that voted in Ohio and another state and 219 non-citizens on the rolls. He encouraged citizens to cast their ballot in future elections. In the 2013 General Election, 43 races were decided by one vote or were tied. “Every vote matters,” he said.

Understanding sun poisoning A trip to the beach is an enjoyable way to spend a day. With warm waves lapping at your feet and a good book to enjoy, hours relaxing at the seaside tend to pass by quite quickly. While such days are often comfortable and relaxing, if you aren’t careful, you may be putting yourself at risk of sunburn and sun poisoning. Sunburns are never a good thing, but sun poisoning can be even more severe and the symptoms can become quite serious and uncomfortable. Despite what the term “sun poisoning” implies, the sun does not poison the body. Rather, the term describes sensitivity to sunlight that results in a wide range of symptoms that can affect the skin and body as a whole. Sun poisoning can occur when one has a sun allergy, called solar urticaria. This is

very rare. However, the greatest number of sun poisoning cases are simply a severe form of sunburn. Depending on the pigmentation of a person’s skin and the severity of the sun, sunburn can occur in mere minutes. Many people can get a sunburn within 15 minutes of being in the sun. The sun’s rays are most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., making the majority of the day a prime time for skin damage. Although sunburn can occur quite quickly, many people do not realize anything has occurred right away. That’s because sunburn symptoms can be delayed. It may take a few hours for redness to appear and discomfort to set in. Staying in the sun too long without wearing adequate protection, whether it be a wide-brimmed hat, protective clothing or ample amounts

Snack foods can be healthy with smart choices Medical professionals often warn that snack foods can be unhealthy, upsetting dieting plans and causing a person to consume more calories than is recommended. While a number of snack foods, particularly snacks that are laden with saturated fats, sodium and many calories, can be detrimental to your health, there are plenty of healthy snacks available to men and women who know where to look. “Self” magazine reports Americans consume 26 percent of their calories at times other than breakfast, lunch and dinner. Many ﬁtness plans actually recommend regular snacking as part of a “grazing” mentality. Grazing, or eating several small meals per day rather than three large ones, can help keep metabolism primed and ready to burn calories. Grazing also enables a person to avoid overeating at any particular meal. But grazing on

of sunblock, can lead to sunburn. Over time, sunburn can progress to sun poisoning. Symptoms of sun poisoning include a severe sunburn accompanied by blisters on the skin. Pain and tingling may occur, as well as swelling where the sun touched the body intensely. Sun poisoning also may cause fever and chills, nausea, dizziness, and dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, as the body’s immune system attempts to kick into action. The best treatment for sun poisoning is prevention. Avoid blazing sun whenever possible and use sunblock and reapply frequently if you must be out in the sun for any duration of time. Otherwise, some cases of sun poisoning can be relieved with the application of cool compresses or by taking cool (not cold) baths. Application of aloe gels also can alle-

viate discomfort, in addition to taking a pain relieving NSAID pill. If at any point a fever occurs and spikes to more than 104 F, or if there is extreme pain and vomiting, head to the emergency room. Doctors may have to quickly reduce swelling and inﬂammation and administer ﬂuids intravenously to get the body back on track. Keep in mind that blisters from sun poisoning can get infected, so it is adviseable to keep the skin clean and avoid picking at or popping blisters. Discuss any concerns about severe sunburn with a doctor. Frequent sunburns can be linked to accelerated skin aging and can put a person at a higher risk for skin cancer. According to the Cleveland Clinic, ultraviolet, or UV, radiation from the sun is the number one cause of skin cancer, but UV light from tanning beds is just as harmful. Cumulative sun exposure causes basal cell and squamous cell skin cancer, while episodes of severe blistering sunburns, usually before age 18, can cause melanoma later in life. Sun poisoning and sunburns are nothing to take lightly. These conditions are easy to prevent by being smart about sun exposure.

the wrong foods can be counterproductive. That’s why selecting the right snacks is important. * Aim for snacks that are 100 calories or less. One-hundred calorie snacks can help you ﬁll you up and stave off hunger pangs. While there are plenty of prepackaged 100-calorie snacks available, you can easily make your own snack packs by being conscious of nutrition labels. Measure serving sizes of healthy foods into separate containers so you’re less likely to eat more than is necessary. * Fill up on fruits and vegetables. Produce can make a healthy snack because it is generally low in calories, which means portion sizes will be larger than other high-calorie foods. Many fruits and vegetables are packed with vitamins and other nutrients, which are needed to keep a body healthy. Many also make good sources of ﬁber, which can help you feel satiated longer between meals. * Choose foods with healthy fats. Not all fats are bad. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats lower total cholesterol and bad cholesterol in the blood. Sources of good fats

include nuts, olive oil, avocado, salmon, soy, and sunflower oil. Skip foods that have high levels of saturated fats, which are mainly found in animal products. Trans fats are perhaps the worst fats to eat, as they are produced by hydrogenation to give them a longer shelf life. Avoid foods that contain hydrogenized oils. * Opt for snacks that mimic the texture of unhealthy snacks. Sometimes you may crave something crunchy or a particular comfort food. Choose a crunchy whole grain cereal over potato chips. If you desire a cool, creamy treat, frozen yogurt has much fewer calories than ice cream. * Pack on the lean protein. Lean sources of protein, such as slices of turkey, egg whites and soybeans, will fill you up and keep you feeling full longer than many carbohydrates. A snack of sushi can fill you up quickly.

How to prevent injury when exercising outdoors When exercising outdoors, stick to terrain that your body can handle to avoid injury. Many people take advantage of nice weather by exercising in the great outdoors. Some might skip the treadmill at the gym in favor of running at the park, while others join recreational sports leagues for some exercise and fun in the sun. But exercising outdoors carries its share of risk. Unlike gyms where machinery clearly advises members about proper form and warns against lifting excessive weight, Mother Nature comes with no such warning labels. As a result, it’s up to men and women to make injury prevention a priority when taking their exercise routine outside. The following are a handful of preventative measures that can help exercise enthusiasts avoid injury as they attempt to get or stay fit in the great outdoors. * Study the terrain. Part of the danger of exercising outdoors is that, unlike a gym fitted with machines designed for the sole purpose of exercise, nature’s terrain is unpredictable. Safety features you take for granted at the gym, such as padded floors, are nonexistent outdoors. In addition, certain areas in nature might not be suitable to all athletes. For example, mountain biking is a popular sport, but not all mountain biking trails are the same. Some trails are ideal for beginners, while others are best ridden by more seasoned riders. When your outdoor exercise regimen will be taking you off the beaten path, be sure you know the terrain before you start your workout. Speak with fellow outdoor enthusiasts about which trails or courses are best for someone of your skill level and adhere to their recommendations. When exercising on a trail for the first time, bring a friend along so someone can go get help should an accident happen. * Stay hydrated. Dehydration is another cause of injury when athletes exercise in the great outdoors. Gyms have water fountains that allow members to take a drink of water when they’re

thirsty. That water can help prevent dehydration, which can be painful and greatly increase your risk of injury. When exercising outdoors, be sure to bring along enough water so you can stay hydrated regardless of how far away from civilization you may ﬁnd yourself. * Honestly assess your abilities. When exercising outdoors, it’s easy to overdo it. Warm air and sunshine have a way of encouraging athletes to prolong their workout routines or push themselves a little harder. But pushing yourself past your limits can considerably increase your risk of injury. While it’s easy to stay within your limits when exercising indoors, where the environment may encourage you to cut a workout short rather than extend it, it’s easy to overextend yourself outdoors when the weather is nice. So it’s important for men and women to make an honest assessment of their abilities before beginning an outdoor exercise regimen. Once you know what your body can and can’t handle, you can tailor your outdoor workout to one that makes the most of nice weather without putting your health at risk. * Don’t challenge Mother Nature. One of the biggest risks with regard to exercising outdoors is the tendency some athletes have to ignore the elements. Avoid working out in especially cold or hot weather, as such conditions are not conducive to exercise. Extreme weather also reduces the number of people outside, which means there won’t be as many people around to help you if you suffer an injury, lose your way or need help with your gear. Exercising outdoors is a great way to enjoy nice weather, but limit such workouts to those times of year when temperatures are most conducive to outdoor activity. Working out in the great outdoors is a great way to make the most of a beautiful day. But athletes must still take certain precautionary measures to reduce their risk of injury when exercising outdoors.

ON YOUR MIND

READERS WRITE Apology for Cemetery This is a public apology to anyone that has loved ones in the Castine Cemetery and to the Butler Township Trustees. We have been taking care of the Butler Township Cemeteries for years now and we made a mistake that we felt deeply about. We realize Castine’s Memorial Service is the week before the others. By our records, everything was on schedule (because we also take care of Oak Grove Cemetery for Neave Township); all foundations were going to be poured the week before each service and freshly trimmed and mowed. Then 1 a.m. Sunday morning I realized we were in the weekend before Memorial Day weekend. I called Larry Royer to confirm the mistake, which the trustees weren’t happy about and had every right to be upset. Larry even made the comment they should have reminded us. Like I told him, no, we have done this long enough that a reminder wasn’t necessary. It was 100% our fault and unfortunately, due to it being so early in the month, we thought it was the following weekend. As soon as we realized the mistake, we were out there at 7:30 Sunday morning getting it taken care of before the service. We did and still feel bad about the mishap. WE had really hoped we didn’t cause too much trouble. We have loved ones that have passed away, at other cemeteries and we know how we feel when their graves aren’t taken care of properly, so we try to treat our cemeteries how we wish our loved ones were treated. We sincerely apologize and are sorry for this mishap. For anyone that has any complaints or concerns regarding the appearance of Castine Cemetery or any of the Butler Twp. Cemeteries, this past Memorial Day or anytime, we’d be glad to address your concerns and you can reach us by having one of the trustees give your our phone number. We have been taking care of these cemeteries long enough that we feel 100% accountable for any concerns. James C. Penny Jr., owner Penny’s Landscaping & Mowing ~~~~~~~~~~ Absolute Truth Dear Editor, Alan M. Dershowitz, the internationally known legal scholar, the night before the Supreme Court heard the Hobby Lobby case, commented that everyone knows that the founders meant by the establishment clause in the 1st Amendment was the Federal Government could not establish an official Federal religion. Dershowitz went on to explain that it has been reinterpreted now. In other words that the present courts interpret the U.S. Constitution differently from what the founders meant. It seems axiomatic (a self evident truth) to me “that if a man or group of men have the authority to make a law that is binding on me what they meant by the law is what is binding on me.” The only way anyone can say the Establishment clause keeps a public school teacher from having a Bible on her desk is to change the meaning of the 1st Amendment. The radical left denies there is anything as absolute truth. The extreme left has been doing that since the 60’s when they started the absurd, “What is true for you may not be true for me.” John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Jesus clearly meant that as truth for every man. Regardless what that means to you, Jesus said that no man can go to God the Father apart from Jesus Christ. That is absolute truth! The First Amendment clearly states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;…” Now in the free exercise of their religious beliefs Hobby Lobby chooses not to provide insurance for devices that destroy a fertilized egg, human life. They provide insurance coverage for other means of birth control. One of the arguments against them is that they are a corporation. The 1st Amendment nowhere distinguishes between an individual, a church, a family, or a family that is incorporated. True to form the radical left, not believing in truth, thinks it means what they want it to mean. Your’s praying that America will once again believe in Truth. Charles J. Arnett Union ~~~~~~~~~~ Triple Crown Dear Editor: It is very cruel and unreasonable for us to expect our good horses to race in three grueling races in five weeks! These horses need time to recover and rebuild after each race. Some horses are never the same after undergoing this excessive stress for a Triple Crown. If we truly are against animal abuse, then this should not be allowed. A possible solution would be to run the Derby the first week in May, the Preakness, the first week in June and the Belmont, the first week in July. This would allow all horses the time to recover and rebuild. Let’s all promote protecting our good horses by coming up with a reasonable race for the Triple Crown! Helen M. Evans Greenville

A lifetime of memories Grumpy Side of 60

by Bob Robinson Associate Editor

“See that big kid sitting over there? Yeah, him. You need to take a lesson from him and study real hard… you don’t want to be like him. He’s been trying to get out of the sixth grade for years!” Yeah. That was me. Roberta Ditty likes to tease and I make an easy target. I sit in the lunchroom with the kids when I sub. Sometimes they talk to me; other times they pay little attention in their rush to eat and head out to the playground. And some students, like Callie Z, won’t eat their lunch if I’m anywhere near them. I remember once I was at Woodland and I sat with my ﬁrst grade class. The kids were unusually loud that day, maybe because the sun was out and it wasn’t freezing outside. They were going to be allowed outside for

the damage (fire, wind, etc. or torn down). The amount of reduction would be prorated on the basis of the calendar quarter in which the damage occurs. Property owners must file the Form-DTE 26 with the County Auditor for the reduction. Real Estate property destroyed or damaged during the first three quarters (January through September) must be filed by Dec. 31 of the year of the damage. Real Estate property destroyed or damaged in

second grader there last year. I have no idea why but this Grumpy Old Man seemed to be her favorite relative. “Would you like to spend the weekend with us?” Auntie asked. “Will Uncle Bob be there?” “Yes.” “I wanna go see Uncle Bob!!!” One weekend I was working on Sunday when she was supposed to go home. She refused to let Auntie take her. “Uncle Bob takes me home.” She was adamant. Finally Auntie called and we agreed she would meet me and I would drive the rest of the way home. “Are we going to Uncle Bob?” Yes. “Is he going to drive me home?” Yes. “My seat has to be moved to Uncle Bob’s car.” No… he’ll drive my car. “Uncle Bob knows how to drive your car?” Yes. “Are you sure?” Yes. Needless to say that was all relayed to me lat-

er but her jumping into my arms as soon as she saw me will remain in my memory banks forever. That and a few years later when I was standing at the start of a Beggar’s Night parade and got slammed in the back by some unknown object with two arms wrapped around my midsection. You guessed it. My niece. I’m still a prime target every time I sub at Woodland… if I’m not slammed in the back she jumps into my arms. Usually there are other teachers around and I have to grin sheepishly… “She’s my niece,” I say. Marketing people love to talk about the Golden Years of life. Most of us on the Grumpy Side of 60 know there’s no such thing. One thing most of us do have, however, is a long lifetime of memories. And some are lucky enough to have a lifetime of memories that don’t stop at 60. I’m one of them… and incredibly blessed!

Freezing energy mandates helps As air conditioners run and summer travel begins—a topic on JIM BUCHY m a n y OHIO Ohioans’ REPRESENTATIVE m i n d s is the costs of energy. Continuing government mandates on Ohio’s energy companies increases costs for Ohio consumers. Our Ohio energy policy should promote low-cost, domestic energy resources that promises continued economic growth in Ohio. Instead, ﬂawed policies for the past several years made Ohio’s consumers involuntary investors in experimental and untested energy resources.

Report destroyed or damaged property GREENVILLE – Carol Ginn, Darke County Auditor, is pleased to announce Real Estate property owners may claim a reduction in the taxable value of their Real Estate property for buildings that have been destroyed, torn down, or damaged, regardless of the time of year the destruction or damage occurred. Enacted legislation by the State of Ohio enables Real Estate property owners to claim the reduction at any time regardless of the cause of

I pointed to the two sets of cups stacked on the table: a green one on top of a yellow one on top of a red one. Green was good to go, the yellow is a warning… “Too loud!” If red is on top that means everyone loses five minutes of recess. Including me, I guess. They all wanted recess. After all, they finally had a warm day and it wasn’t raining; so they all nodded their heads and started eating, drinking and talking. Yep. You guessed it. “My” table was the first table in the lunchroom to get a yellow cup! Getting back into the classroom a couple months ago brought back tons of memories, one of which had nothing to do with the classroom… well, it did but only because my niece was a

government mandates for Ohio’s consumers and businesses and ensures that we will study the alternative energy mandates in Ohio to determine the best path for the future of our state. Several years ago a goal was set to have 25 percent of our state’s energy come from alternative energy sources by 2025. This became Ohio’s official energy policy and collectively it is referred to as the renewable energy portfolio mandate. This expensive government mandate made Ohio’s consumers and businesses involuntary investors in experimental and untested energy resources. According to a study done by a major energy producer in Ohio, if the energy efficiency mandates are not changed, the amount that residential customers would have to involuntarily invest for the efficiency programs would increase by nearly $200 per year by 2025. After witnessing this

policy for the last few years, it is clear that Ohio’s consumers and businesses cannot afford to fund experimental and untested energy resources anymore. That is why it was important to stall this government mandate. There are two things that bring jobs: a quality labor force and affordable energy. In the west central Ohio, we already have some of the hardest working people, so ensuring that energy remains affordable is key to our economic growth. With so much at stake, action was needed. Initial discussions focused around a bill that would repeal the renewable energy portfolio mandate, but statesmanship prevailed and a compromise was reached with Senate Bill 310. Senate Bill 310 stalled the renewable energy portfolio mandate until it can be further studied. It is important to research the affect of the renewable energy portfolio mandate

and determine the correct direction forward for Ohio. One thing we know is that Ohio’s businesses and consumers could not afford to be involuntary investors in experimental and untested energy resources anymore. A positive step was made to ensure that Ohio has access to affordable energy in the future when SB 310 passed the Ohio legislature. Ohio’s consumers and businesses win under this new policy because the big government mandate has been stalled at current levels, but we have ensured that Ohio will continue to look at ways to diversify our energy portfolio and determine the best path forward avoiding making Ohio’s consumers and businesses involuntary investors in experimental and untested energy resources anymore.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in deathy by his wife of 60 years, Anne Danford Ullery; brother, William (Bill) Dean Ullery; sisterin-law, Challys Longfellow Ullery; brother, Jack Dwayne Ullery; and stepfather, Russell Fritz. Survivors include a sis-

Be careful when shopping at home BY JOHN NORTH PRESIDENT/CEO BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU Shopping online is easy and accessible. Growing at a 10 percent rate yearly, the Internet is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, making it a nobrainer for many shoppers. Shopping online saves time, money and there’s no crowd. But, if you’re not careful, scammers could be waiting to separate you from your money. Your Better Business Bureau offers tips to stay safe while surﬁng the Web. So far this year, your BBB has recorded more than 451,000 inquiries and about 6,600 complaints (7th most) about Internet shopping across North America. Locally, your BBB received more than 1,400 inquiries about this industry. When shopping on the Internet, your BBB offers these tips: * Protect your personal information (credit card, banking or social security numbers). Only enter it at secure Web sites. Make sure the URL starts with “https”. Also, look for a small padlock icon usually located at the corner of the URL bar. These symbols tell shoppers a website is secure. * Use a credit card. A purchase with a credit card is protected under the Fair Credit Billing Act, a debit card isn’t. * Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. For instance, avoid Web sites luring you to look at sensational videos or offers to give away dream vaca-

tions. * Look for the BBB seal and other widely-recognized trustmarks on websites and click on them to confirm they’re valid. * Protect your computer. Install a firewall, antivirus and anti-spyware software. Check for and install the latest updates and run virus scans regularly. * Be sure to log out of websites. Many scams take advantage of a computer user’s habit of staying logged into sites. * Read the fine print. When buying a product, read the whole description. It’s important to understand the product details to avoid surprises when it’s delivered. * Keep order documentation. * Read the return policy to see if the business allows a full refund if you’re unhappy with the product. Also, review the policy to see who pays for the cost of shipping and handling for the return. * Don’t believe everything you see. A scammer can steal logos, colors and headers from established websites to fool you. It’s easy to create a professional-looking website. Remember, you can always get help from your BBB, such as a list of BBB Accredited Businesses and business reviews on ones you’re considering. Also, be sure to click the trust button on business reviews of companies you trust and work with. For more information, visit www.bbb.org or call (937) 222-5825 or (800) 776-5301.

Time is running out to adopt your duck

June First Friday draws about 1,500 visitors BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR GREENVILLE – A young girl in front of the courthouse was enjoying the attentions of ﬁve grandparents and great grandparents while across the street visitors were attracted to a steady ‘putt putt putt.’ “That’s my sonin-law over there,” said one gentleman. The putt putt machine was making ice cream. Are you the genius behind that thing? Jim Boyer looked up. Paused, grinned… Then… “yep.” That ‘thing’ was an ice cream machine in front of A&B Coffee Shop drawing crowds of people on First Friday, June 6. The engine was his. “It had been sitting on a shelf for the last four years… never intended to do anything with it; just looked pretty.” His granddaughter, Amanda Hines, said they needed an ice freezer. “So I had the Amish (in Holmes County) build one and bought it from them.” His grandson, Justin, was the Master Ice Cream Maker. The ice cream machine was only one of multiple attractions throughout downtown Greenville Friday afternoon and evening. Tommy Renfro performed at Greenville Library’s Lunch on the Lawn; cuisine provided by Bistro Off Broadway. A performer in front of Sweet Annie’s was doing a set of Johnny Cash songs; another, in front of the Candy Bouquet, was doing John Denver’s Country Roads. In front of Ivy League, a future music star stopped listening and started participating in the festivities. She joined Sarah Bostic for

a couple of sets by keeping time to the music with one of their tambourines. One young lady from Union City was sitting in her stroller enjoying the attention her Hollywood sun glasses were getting her… Amelia “Hollywood” Holmes was – well, maybe – a year old. “This is great,” Main Street Greenville’s Executive Director Amber Garrett said. “This is what it’s all about… people enjoying each other’s company. Early in the evening she said all the participating businesses were crowded, people were standing and talking to each other on the street or walking up and down South Broadway listening to the music. “It’s hard to guess all the people who are showing up,” she added. On Tuesday she estimated about 1,500 people visited downtown Greenville during the event. Garrett said First Fridays are a great way to remind residents what downtown businesses have to offer; it encourages them to explore the district. “I am amazed how many residents are not aware what businesses exist in our downtown… they’ve been here for years,” she said. “I have a feeling once they are reminded, they will spend more time here. It is such a fun and welcoming environment.” She noted the friends, families and neighbors socializing and smiling; the historic buildings and the way the “sunlight reﬂects for a perfect backdrop.” She said to make sure to notice the “wonderful small businesses that enhance our quality of life.”

Darke Co. Special Olympics athletes represent Ohio GREENVILLE – Three Darke County Special Olympic softball players have been chosen to represent the state in New Jersey on June 14-21 at the 2014 USA Games. Joining 13 other players from around the state to compete on Team Ohio are Derrick Hemmelgarn, of the Darke County Sluggers, and Nick Meade and Devin Billenstein, of the Darke County Diamond Dawgs. Fifty athletes in nine sports will be representing Ohio at the USA Games. Cindy Rose, volunteer coordinator for Darke County Special Olympics, said, “It is a great opportu-

nity for these three players to represent not only Darke County but also Ohio on a national level. It is an opportunity of a lifetime. We had two athletes chosen in 2010 to attend the USA Games in Lincoln, Nebraska, and having three different athletes chosen this time is exciting. It shows the continued success of our softball program and it rewards our players for their hard work during the regular season and at the yearly state softball tournament.” “Like” Darke County Special Olympics on Facebook to follow Team Ohio and Darke County’s athletes during the week.

Betty Grimes holds a collage of news items from an early newspaper dated 1876.

Betty Grimes, local historian, noted the Red 73 on the vehicle in the background, and Howard Linn as the bus driver, but what was the group of girl scouts, the event and when did it happen? This is just one of the “pieces” of history Grimes is compiling for Union City, Ohio’s Wall of History.

UC Wall of History a reality BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR UNION CITY, OH – “We want the citizens’ participation… we want to preserve our history for present and future generations.” Betty Grimes showed some of the memorabilia in a display case at the Union City Administration Building. She also showed off two leather bound books. One contained newspaper articles, old letters and more… “I only wanted a few of those things because making copies is expensive,” she said. “Minuteman Press (Greenville) copied the whole set and donated it to us.” She created the book. She did the same with the second book, full of plats, ordinances and other old legal papers. “We’re doing obituar-

ies… as far back as anyone who has family living in Union City, Ohio.” She talked about LambertUnion Automobile. It was the ﬁrst gas powered automobile in the country. She pointed to the village’s Wall of History. It included a Paul Ackley mural depicting the Union Automobile Co, established in 1891 by John W. Lambert, as well as other things speciﬁc to the community. A little further down the wall were photos of past Union City, Ohio mayors. The history is a long one as Union City was established in 1849. “Space is a problem,” she said. “I’ve got this much and more at home.” What she wanted more than anything else, though, was community input… memories, events,

local items of interest. One example would be Weiner’s Sorghum Mill. The boiler used to make the sorghum is no longer being used, but it’s still there. In 2006 the Bectol Corp. donated money for the Wall of History. As of 2011 it still wasn’t being used. Because Grimes asked about it – on more than one occasion – the Union City Ohio Village Council asked her if she would head up a committee to put it to use. The ﬁrst committee meeting was held March 16, 2011. The rest is history. Union City, Ohio history. There are many stories about the Village of Union City. Some are recorded at the Administration Building. Some are at the tip of the tongue of local histo-

rian Betty Grimes. Grimes acknowledged with thanks the members of the committee: Mayor Scott Stahl, vice chair, Nancy Rush, secretary, Chad Wade and Paul Hartzell. “They have all worked extremely hard to get this done,” she said. She also acknowledged, with gratitude, the other individuals and businesses who have donated materials and labor. Grimes invited residents to stop and check out the various contracts and ordinances created over the decades. She would also like to hear from people who have a “bit of history” to share or would like to help in compiling their community’s history. She can be reached at 968-4756.

Nick Anderson returned to Greenville to accept the position of administrator at The Village Green. (Ryan Berry photo)

Anderson returns home to join Village Green as administrator BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR GREENVILLE – After spending time as a skilled nursing facility administrator in Pennsylvania, Nick Anderson returned home in April to assume the same position with Trilogy Health Services at the Village Green Healthcare Center in Greenville. Anderson was born and raised in Greenville and furthered his education at Ohio University. Upon graduation he took a job as an assistant administrator with a facility in Pennsylvania and eventually earned his administrator’s credentials. The 2006 Greenville High School graduate attributes his relationship to older adults while growing up as his reason for pursuing this chosen career. He pointed out older adults need an advocate and he is hoping to make a positive impact. His goal for the Village Green is to continue making it a great facility. While some people in his position guide their decisions by the company’s

bottom line, Anderson is making residents and staff his ﬁrst priority. “If you take care of the residents and staff the bottom line will take care of itself,” he said. “I got into it (career) to make an impact on lives,” said Anderson. He noted he took the position with Trilogy because their core values match up with his. He believes The Village Green is much more than a healthcare facility. “We are selling ‘home,’” he said. He wants the staff and residents to feel like a family and go beyond the walls of the facility. “Our older residents should be a resource for the community,” he said. Anderson is excited about the new facility being built at the corner of Russ Road and State Route 121 in Greenville. In addition to 51 skilled nursing beds, the facility will also offer 38 assisted living beds with 14 of those being dedicated to memory care residents. The new facility is expected to open this fall.

Versailles rodeo teaches bicycle safety BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR VERSAILLES – Most kids did the bike safety course once then headed into the ﬁrehouse to check out the bicycles to be given away and grab a hot dog (or three or four). Not Isabella Kilburn. According to one volunteer she must have done the course at least a half dozen times. The most recent time, she did it backwards. “They told her she couldn’t do it backwards,” mom JoAnne Kilburn said. “So she did just to prove she could.” Following another trip through the course, the volunteer told the youngster she might have to do it blindfolded the next time. Kids of a variety of ages were told to follow the arrows through a ﬁve-part course. Some zipped through like old pros, others - with training wheels on their bikes - had trouble getting past slight depressions in the concrete. According to a volunteer, some of them have balance issues, “but they’ll get it.” Isabella and 102 other

kids turned out for the annual Versailles Bike Rodeo, sponsored by Versailles EMS and Versailles Fire Department. Started by Tom and Shila Magoto over 15 years ago, the event was officially turned over to the fire and EMS departments last year. Brian Pearson, Versailles Fire Department, was in charge of June 7 event; his second in command was Crystal Buteau, Versailles and Arcanum EMS. Each year the organization hands out bicycle helmets to young riders. In 2013 they handed out 90. This year they handed out 68 since nearly a third of them already had good helmets or new ones from the previous year. Each helmet is individually fitted to the child. Pearson was pleased with the continued annual turnout for the rodeo, adding they are thinking of adding a child seat safety inspection next year. Integral parts of the event are the helmets, a bike safety course, bike registrations, helmet and bike inspections… and a

chance to win a free bike. Child I.D. packets were compiled and turned over to parents by the Versailles American Legion. This year kids had two added treats. Rage and Rocko from Greenville Township Fire were there, and 100 LED safety strobes were installed on the bikes by the Poultry Days Committee. The rodeo is hosted by Magoto Insurance, Versailles Police Department and the Versailles EMS and ﬁre departments. Pearson and Buteau expressed their gratitude to the dozens of

individuals, businesses and organizations making the event possible through their donations and time. Monetary contributors included Midmark Corporation, the Poultry Days committee, William Robertson Fund, Darke County Prosecutor and Dickman Supply of Greenville. Bicycle winners were: Hailey Marshall, Danica York, Juliet Ahrens, Camden Ahrens, Jon Gehret, Layla Wheeldon, Landon Keaser, Sophia Gerling, Elijah Pohl, Gabrielle Nelson, Bryan Benje, and Jeremiah Wagner.

Arcanum Library events scheduled

Bees, Bugs and Worms workshop GREENVILLE – Are you interested in learning about natural ways to improve the health and production from your garden? Join Darke SWCD and the City of Greenville on June 24, for a home gardener workshop focused on “Bees, Bugs & Worms.” This workshop will be held at the OSU Extension Learning Center, 603 Wagner Ave., Greenville. The City of Greenville and Darke SWCD are putting this workshop together to assist home gardeners as they look for alternatives to store bought items as they look to improve their garden’s production. The “Bees” portion will have CheyAnne Toner of Versailles presenting from 6:30-7 p.m. on backyard beekeeping. CheyAnne is an experienced bee keeper and will explain how a bee hive operates and offer tips on how to keep a hive healthy. Bees are extremely important in the pollination process of vegetables, fruits and ﬂowers. The “Bugs” portion features Janell of Darke SWCD as she discusses organic controls for garden pests from 7-7:30 p.m. She will present management techniques for pests covering aphids to whiteﬂies. Janell will

draw from experience gained in her own garden and as an integrated pest management manager at an Ohio organic produce farm. The “Worms” portion will bring Fred Williams of the Natural Alternative to share information about compost and worm castings. Worm castings, or worm manure, are an organic fertilizer. The Natural Alternative composts leaves, limbs and horse manure. Fred uses worms to further break down that organic matter and increase the nutrient density in the compost. Fred will present from 7:30-8 p.m. “After the interest expressed in natural gardening techniques from our Grow It, Make It, Can It Workshop in April, I am excited to offer a workshop that will address that topic,” said Janell Weiss, Nutrient Management Specialist/Ag Technician with Darke SWCD. Space is limited and registration is required. If you are interested in attending this free workshop, call the Darke SWCD at 548-1752 or email jared.coppess@ oh.nacdnet.net. This workshop is one in the series of home gardener workshops offered by the City of Greenville and Darke SWCD.

DCCA will host Barbecue & Blues GREENVILLE – Darke County Center for the Arts will host “Barbecue and Blues,” a family-friendly fundraiser featuring music by Cincinnati-based Rhythm Jones, at Turtle Creek Golf Course on July 11. The music begins at 6:30 p.m. with local musicians Aaron Frohna and David Warner performing their version of rock favorites. Tickets for the event are $10. Turtle Creek will have BBQ and a full range of drinks available for purchase throughout the evening. DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan says that “Barbecue and Blues” has become an extremely popular summertime event. “This is a great opportunity to celebrate the season with lively, listenable music in a lovely setting.” Ms. Jordan said. Matt and Angie Arnold, Tom and Jennifer Bish, Wayne and Sharon Deschambeau, George and Becky Luce, and Bob and Jean McLear are sponsors of the musical performances by Frohna and Warner and Rhythm Jones. According to DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins, Rhythm Jones is a “swamp wa-

ter rock/funk/R & Bbased blues band made up of musicians from all over the country and all over the musical map.” The band includes keyboardist Bob Nave, who earned a gold record in 1968 as a member of the Lemon Pipers when their hit “Green Tambourine” surpassed a million in sales. Other members of Rhythm Jones are Eric Oseas on guitar and back-up vocals, Steven Fitzpatrick on vocals and guitar, singer Rachel Sontag, Reed Bogart on bass, and drummer/vocalist Ray Fernandez. In case of inclement weather, “Barbecue and Blues” will move into Turtle Creek’s comfortable clubhouse. Although tickets will be available at the gate, DCCA strongly recommends purchasing tickets in advance. Tickets can be reserved by contacting DCCA at 547-0908 or dcca@centerforarts.net or ordered online at www.centerforarts.net. Tickets may also be purchased at Readmore’s Hallmark in downtown Greenville, and at the Greenville public Library as well as at Turtle Creek Golf Course, 6545 U.S. Route 36 East, Greenville.

Police honored by The Flower Patch BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER GREENVILLE – The Flower Patch in Greenville recently donated a custom banner in which the locally owned business proudly displayed during National Police Week, May 12 – 16. “My husband Rick, myself and our Staff are so very grateful to our police and detectives in Greenville,” stated Kathy Beam, co-owner of the Flower patch. “When our shop was robbed at gun point, our police force provided excellence in response, service and caring for our staff. This was a traumatic experience and we appreciated all the safety services that

responded.” The banner, which said “Thank You City of Greenville Police,” was created by Beam’s son, Brian, and hung at the business until May 23 when the Beam’s donated it to the department. “We feel that it’s important to support those men and women who every day give of their own life to protect our community and this was one small part that we could do to say thanks,” Kathy added. The Flower Patch is located at 104 Rhoades Ave., Greenville. The shop creates and delivers all kinds of ﬂoral arraignments for special occasions, funerals and more.

Casalano also announced the 2014 Volunteers of the Year, Tammy Abell and Kevin Cordonnier. “Kevin, thank you for serving the youth of our community and giving countless hours to our swim team program,” he said. “It is an honor to recognize you as one of our volunteers of the year.” “And from now on, Tammy, your nickname will be ‘The Mailwoman,’ because you always deliver,” said Casalano. Also during the meeting, the YMCA introduced its new YMCA Board President, Shawn Daugherty, who will be taking over for former president, Jerry McClannan. “Now I understand why God created Kevin, Jerry, Shawn and Tammy - why God created every volunteer in this room. Each of you exemplifies service at its finest,” said Casalano. “Despite the increasing needs in our community and world, you continue to give sacrificially and seek to meet the needs of others, especially right here at the Y.
