GREENVILLE – Demolition of Greenville’s South School is set to begin early this week, according to Superintendent Doug Fries. “Their goal is to be done

GREENVILLE – GHS head varsity track and ﬁeld coach Bill Plessinger with 22 years at the helm is excited for the new track and ﬁeld facility under construction that will have an economic impact on the local community as well as give Greenville athletes a state of the art facility to compete. “I think that’s a piece people don’t see or think about – how does it look overall,” said Plessinger. “It’s going to bring pride to Greenville, it’s going to bring people to Greenville and that’s always a good thing.” “The economic impact that is for the whole community – you bring in 10 teams, 12 teams, they bring their parents, they go eat at restaurants in town. This is going to help the whole community. It’s going to

with abatement by Monday,” Fries said Thursday. “They’re starting to mobilize with equipment for demolition. They’ve done a few things they were permitted to do with the inspector’s permission.” The modular units located at South have been picked up by their new owners, Fries said. All the modulars being used as classrooms at the district’s buildings were purchased through auctions by Mike Baker’s Midwest Auctioneers & Realty. Some were purchased locally, Fries said, including by Greenville’s EUM Church. Other modulars were purchased through an online auction. Work on dismantling the bricks on the former Greenville Junior High chimney began Thursday. (Clinton Randall photo)

“I hope when you drive by next Monday or Tuesday (June 19-20) you see demolition starting at South,” Fries said. Workers will be starting abatement at the junior high building next, Fries said, although some demolition work was being completed this past week, namely to the chimney area, which has no asbestos. Following the junior high building, abatement equipment will be moved to begin work at Woodland Primary. Originally scheduled to be completed this month, Fries said demolition of the schools will likely take all summer. “It all looked good on paper,” he said of the original schedule, citing normal

abatement removal delays at East and South put the work behind. Another change was beginning the junior high abatement after South. Originally, the junior high was last on the list for demolition. Woodland Primary will now be the ﬁnal demo project. Next for school administrators and school board will be deciding what to do with East’s and South’s empty lots. “We’re looking at different options,” Fries explained for how to sell East and South properties. “At some point we’ll

have to make a decision.” The Woodland location was purchased by the Greenville Township Rescue for the location of a second ﬁre and rescue station. The township purchased the 20-acre site early last year for $175,000. The junior high site, Fries said “will remain school property for use as a green space and parki n g ” next to Me-

help it economically, it’s going to get people to the town, get people to spend money in town. Not only is the new track a great thing for the track kids, the high school kids and the new football ﬁeld – the whole facility, but it’s going to help the whole community.” “We have a Saturday invitational, we have a meet from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. what are those people going to do? At 2:30 they’re going to the KitchenAid store. I don’t think people realize the economic impact of having eight to 10 different teams come to your town for a track meet. They bring 30 – 40 kids, they bring 30-40 parents (GHS numbers in excess of 100 track team members), people have to eat, we do have things to see in our community and that gets them here to see them.” Missing from the Greenville sports scene for some time now has been the Salzman Relays, a very popular

and prestigious track event that was held annually in Greenville. “We’re going to bring back the Salzman relays,” Coach Plessinger shared. “We already have teams committed. We have a date set for it already. We’re really looking forward to bringing that back. We are looking to also have an invitational track meet along with the Salzman Relays.” Coach Plessinger is already looking to bring back hometown track and ﬁeld invitational meets to go along with local dual and tri-meets. “We would have our duals and tri’s, Piqua and Troy, but we are going to bring in a whole new group,” Plessinger said. “Cincinnati Norwood comes to our track meet, they’re going bring parents that have never been to Greenville. I just think it will be great for the whole community.” “If we have two eight team meets, that’s seven

other teams coming to Greenville,” continued Plessinger. “Some of them have never been here and that’s what it’s all about. Getting visitors to our community, getting people here in town and spend money. It helps everybody.” Missing for the ﬁrst time in many years is the week long summer Track and Field Camp that Coach Plessinger and his staff put on each year. “We’ve had that track camp for years,” stated Plessinger. “Unfortunately this summer we can’t have that camp. Our hope is to have a camp in the fall on the new track, like a Saturday in October. Instead of everyday of the week for three hours, maybe take a Saturday and go 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. and do the same things we do in the camp.” “I don’t want to lose those kids for a year,” added Plessinger. “I know people are disappointed we can’t have it, but with what

we have we can’t have it. I don’t want to do it if I can’t do it ﬁrst rate, ﬁrst class with the long jump, high jump, hurdles, blocks, etc. I hope to have a camp for the kids, middle to late October. That’s my goal.” “I want to thank everybody, Friends of Harmon Field, everybody that’s involved,” Plessinger said of the new facilities. “The Jennings family – without Brad Jennings and the Jennings family and the work of Friends of Harmon Field this could never have gotten done.” “Now we move on to the next projects. We’re going to have this brand new

erty tax. Commissioners announced earlier this year they were planning on placing a tax levy on the November ballot, which would affect all county residents. The millage has not been determined, said Commissioner Mike Rhoades. “We don’t want to put too big a millage on,” he said. Thompson questioned “if maybe there could be a different funding solution?” Rhoades explained the tax would be used to ensure funding is available “down the road” as equipment and upgrades are needed. Commissioner Matt Aultman said passage of a property tax would allow

county ofﬁcials to “set up a replacement plan” as equipment becomes obsolete. Commissioner Mike Stegall also pointed out state ofﬁcials had requested most counties go begin using one PSAP system a few years ago. With current equipment hard to repair and newer technologies coming at a steady pace, commissioners said they were thinking about the safety of all county residents in wanting to consolidate. Rhoades also told Thompson the county paid for the PSAP unit used by the city of Greenville. “Why have two?” With a newer system, Rhoades said, there would be no need for a

back-up PSAP. Thompson also asked about the 911 cell phone tax received by Darke County as well as the $500,000 the county spends per year to maintain the Darke County Home. Commissioners announced several weeks ago that the Tri-County Board of Mental Health was seriously looking at purchasing the county home to house mental health services, which would free up half a million dollars. Current residents, which total 16 this week, would be relocated to other area homes, Rhoades said. Rhoades told Thompson cell phone tax revenue for Darke County amounted to about $97,000. “Not

enough.” He also explained the money that would be saved by selling the county home could be used for the county’s 911 upgrade, with leftover monies being “earmarked” to “do what we want with it.” The county is in the process of moving to a new MARCS radio system in order to communicate with surrounding counties. This past spring, the county announced it was the recipient of a signiﬁcant number of used MARCS radio units from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR. which is in the process of updating their equipment. Thompson told commission he believed they

Students from all four buildings slated for demolition began meeting in their new K-8th grade facility this past January. Workers will complete asbestos removal of South School and begin demolition this coming week. (Clinton Randall photo)

football field and this brand new track. We need to start looking at the next steps and hopefully when they see the work that’s being done and especially the expediency at which its being done, maybe people will feel better about donating to the stadium and the field house. Let’s get this whole thing done and make it look first class and just redo the whole facility. Get it done,” said Plessinger. “The kids are excited. I’m excited. It’s like a shot in the arm,” concluded Coach Plessinger. “I go out there every day and look at it. I’ve walked it. It’s going to be fun to watch all summer.”

Thompson voices concerns over 911 consolidation SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – Stating he was there as a taxpayer and not as the Greenville Fire Chief, Russ Thompson attended Monday’s county commission meeting to address his concerns about their 911 dispatch consolidation offer. With the decision still up in the air whether or not city ofﬁcials will accept county commission’s offer, which would, eliminate the city’s PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point), Thompson said he had some questions, namely about a proposed county-wide prop-

“should show voters you’ve done everything possible” before going to them for additional property tax. On June 8, Greenville city ofﬁcials held a public meeting to gain input on the 911/PSAP issue, before making a decision whether or not to accept the county’s proposal. Also in attendance Monday was Fred Dean, who asked commission what would happen if a November tax issue failed. “Nobody’s going to get to communicate. I’ve said that before,” Rhoades said, pointing out if “we can’t communicate, we’re sitting out here with our derrieres on the line.”

571 near Ludy Road in reference to a driver with a felony warrant. The vehicle was located at West Park Drive and North Broadway. The officer drove behind the vehicle and initiated a traffic stop. The driver, Angel Bowlin had a felony probation warrant and was driving under suspension. The officer asked Bowlin to exit the vehicle and she was handcuffed behind her back. When the office walked Bowlin to his cruiser, he noticed she appeared to be pregnant. She confirmed she was 24 weeks pregnant so the officer immediately moved the handcuffs to Bowlin’s front. She also told the officer she had used methamphetamine that morning. Bowlin was placed in the back of the cruiser with the door open and guarded by a probation officer until another officer arrived to do a thorough pat down. Bowlin was transported to the Darke County Jail for the no bond warrant and was issued a traffic citation for driving under suspension. Three unused syringes were located in Bowlin’s bag in the vehicle. Bowlin told an officer about the needles after she was Mirandized. The needles were removed and properly disposed of in a sharp’s container. The owner of the vehicle, Marlena Yoder was warned for wrongful entrustment and she picked up her vehicle at the scene. Wanted Person

On June 7 an officer observed Amberly Williams walking southbound on Ash Street at East Main Street. The officer had prior knowledge Williams had an active warrant for arrest through the Darke County Municipal Court for failure to appear at trial on the original charge of resisting arrest. The officer stopped his marked patrol vehicle in the middle of the roadway and told Williams she had a warrant and she was under arrest. According to the report, Williams stated “what am I under arrest for?” and began walking westbound in the 200 block of East Main Street away from the officer.

Williams shouted “I’m not running!” then began running northbound through yards in the 200 block of East Main Street. The officer shouted for Williams to stop on several occasions. Williams ran to the alley behind the 200 block of East Main Street then turned westbound in the alley and circled around a privacy fence. The officer was able to catch up to Williams and he collided with her in the alley behind 212 E. Main Street. Williams fell to the ground and was placed under arrest. The warrant was confirmed through dispatch and it was also found Williams had another outstanding warrant through the Darke County Common Pleas court for probation violation on the original charge of trafficking heroin. Williams was transported to the Darke County Jail where she was incarcerated with no bond due to the probation violation warrant. Williams was also issued a misdemeanor citation for resisting arrest. At the time of arrest, Williams was in possession of a black drawstring bag, which contained two unopened containers of an alcoholic beverage. The alcohol was transported to the Greenville Police Department and placed in the property for safe keeping. On June 12 an officer was dispatched to the 600 block of East Third Street in reference to a verbal dispute. The officer learned one of the individuals, Jordan Bailey had an active warrant through Troy Police Department for theft with no bond. Arrangements were made for a Troy officer to pick Bailey up. Before transporting Bailey, officers asked if he had anything illegal on his person and he said he had a syringe in his shorts. Bailey removed the syringe and gave it to an officer. He said he used the syringe for cocaine. Bailey was placed under arrest and transported to State Routes 36 and 721, where he was issued a misdemeanor citation for the drug abuse instrument and released to a Troy police officer. The

Dave Knapp Ford offers car at YFC outing GREENVILLE – Perhaps this will be the year. Each of the past 26 summers, Dave Knapp Ford has agreed to donate a new car to the participant lucky enough to hit a holein-one on the designated hole at the Youth for Christ of the Miami Valley Golf Classic. Thus far, no one has claimed this prize. This year, a shiny Ford Focus is at stake. June 28 is the date for the Youth for Christ outing, which will take place at White Springs Golf Club and those who participate are in for a real treat. First, there are wonderful prizes. Beside the possibility of a new car, there will be prizes for several golﬁng contests and many wonderful door prizes. Golfers in the YFC Classic have their choice of “paying to play” or collecting pledges to more signiﬁcantly help area teens. This year’s top four fundraisers will choose from great prizes. A second reason many golfers return to the YFC Classic each year is the delicious food that is served non-stop throughout the day. While a team can register for as little as $350 and an individual can play for $100, those wanting to

help even more can sign up for a “Gold Class Upgrade.” Those with a Gold Class Upgrade are entitled to everything received by other golfers, but will also receive a tournament golf shirt and exclusive amenities such as steak sandwiches, special side dishes, and free chair massage. Teams can register with a Gold Class Upgrade for $700 and individual golfers can have a Gold Class Upgrade by paying or raising at least $200. Last year’s Classic raised more than $21,500 to help YFC reach area young people with the life-changing message for Jesus Christ. The lasting beneﬁt of the Youth for Christ ministry is what leads several dozen local businesses to provide sponsorship for the tournament, including the Littman-Thomas Agency and White Springs Golf Club who are providing the lead sponsorship this year. Several more golfers and business sponsors are still needed in order to reach this year’s goal of raising $22,500 to help local teens. Those interested in either of these opportunities should call Youth for Christ at 5482477 or e-mail YFC at ofﬁce@yfcmv.org.

Fortnight for Freedom at St. Mary’s GREENVILLE – We Dare Not Forget is a formidable presentation by Pastor Peter Menke and is scheduled for 7 p.m., the evening before St. Mary’s Church opens its doors to the Fortnight for Freedom. As we have witnessed freedoms being denied and forbidden in other countries, and even challenged in our own country, we very much need make a conscious effort to stand up for the treasure and freedom to practice our religion without government involvement. This fortnight is a time set aside in a special way to pray to God to help keep our freedoms. The Fortnight begins June 21 through July 4. The two-week event will end July 4 with the celebration of Mass at 8 a.m. During Fortnight for Freedom, St. Mary’s Church

will be open for personal prayer from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. There are short scheduled prayers on the hour at 4, 5, and 6 p.m. for God’s blessing for Religious Freedom to be upheld in our country. The rest of the time will be reserved for your own prayer and meditation time. The Constitution is being challenged more frequently today than in recent years. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution clearly and wisely states: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...” During the Fortnight for Freedom, St. Mary’s Parish welcomes everyone to join us in praying that our country will uphold this right and privilege.

ON YOUR MIND

Attorney General warns of elder abuse COLUMBUS – With Elder Abuse Awareness Day held June 15, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine is warning Ohioans to beware of signs of elder abuse. “Elder abuse can affect any family in any community,” Attorney General DeWine said. “It often involves a person in a position of power or trust who takes advantage of an older adult. Sadly, many elder abuse cases are never reported. The good news is that we can help protect our neighbors, family, and friends by bringing attention to the problem and taking steps to prevent and stop it.” An estimated one in 10 older adults have experienced elder abuse, but only a portion of elder abuse cases are believed to be reported to authorities. Elder abuse can include physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, ﬁnancial exploitation, or neglect. It often is committed by someone the person knows, such as a family member, friend, or caregiver, and it can occur in the older person’s home, in a residential facility, or elsewhere in the community. Warning signs of elder abuse include: * Changes in an older adult’s physical appearance, such as weight loss or unexplained bruising or bleeding * Changes in an older adult’s personality or mood * Changes in an older adult’s ﬁnances or money management * A dominating, threatening caregiver or new “best friend” * Exclusion from other family members or friends * Changes in an older adult’s home environment Risk factors include social isolation, bereavement,

cognitive decline, dependence on another for care, and depression or other mental issues. Victims may be reluctant to report abuse for fear of being moved from their home or being harmed. Ohio’s population of adults age 60 or older, which stood at 2.28 million in 2010, is expected to grow to 3.37 million by 2030, according to the Scripps Gerontology Center at Miami University. As Ohio’s population of older adults grows, so too could the potential for elder abuse. To protect Ohio’s older adults, the Ohio Attorney General’s Office works with local authorities in the investigation and prosecution of elder abuse cases and investigates patient abuse and neglect in long-term care settings. For example, following investigations by the office, a Kentucky man was sentenced to four years in prison for stealing from elderly and/or disabled nursing home residents, and an Ohio man was sentenced to four years in prison for stealing more than $2 million in timber from property owned by an elderly man. Through the Ohio Attorney General’s Elder Justice Initiative, which Attorney General DeWine launched in 2014, the office also provides support, education, and outreach services to combat elder financial exploitation and abuse. Training for law enforcement, attorneys, social workers, and other professionals is available. To request assistance, training, or more information about elder justice issues, contact the Ohio Attorney General’s Office at 800-282-0515 or visit www. OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov.

TROY – Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Troy) recently announced the relocation of the 8th District’s Troy ofﬁce to 20 Dotcom Drive. The new location replaces the ofﬁce formerly housed at 12 South Plum Street. “Our move is part of a continued effort to provide unmatched constituent service,” said Rep. Davidson. “Constituents should take advantage of this new

location along with our other locations in West Chester and Springfield. In addition, our staff regularly holds mobile office hours to meet constituents at convenient locations near them.” Constituents can visit any of the 8th District offices for assistance in casework issues with federal agencies such as social security and the VA. District staff can also assist constituents with nominations to service academies and obtaining passports. The new location opened Monday, June 5. Constituents can continue to reach the Troy office at (937) 339-1524.

Old Glory withstands the changes of time “I pledge allegiance to the ﬂag of the United States of America…” We’re all KEITH FABER f a m i l i a r with this OHIO SENATE PRESIDENT phrase; it has been ingrained in our existence as Americans since the ﬁrst days of elementary school. In fact, the members of the Ohio House and Senate continue this tradition, reciting the pledge before session each time we meet. As public servants of this great nation, our loyalty to “Old Glory” is of the utmost importance; we must uphold the values it

represents. The American flag is not just a piece of fabric; it is the greatest symbol of the United States. It symbolizes our republic, its indivisibility, and the liberty and justice the country was founded upon. June 14 marked the day that our flag was formally accepted, and while national Flag Day was not established until an act of Congress in 1949, this year marks 240 years that our flag has flown. The flag has evolved many times as the United States expanded, and it changed to reflect the addition of new states. Despite its evolution, the 13 stripes remain, representing the 13 original

colonies at the founding of our nation. The stars remain, each standing in place of a state, 50 in all. But more than that, the values and principles that the flag signifies have remained the same. Through the ups and downs of our history, the flag is still there, waving over the land of the free and the home of the brave. In its resilience, it has kept the notions of what it means to be an American alive. Our land continues to be free. Over two centuries after its adoption, many countries around the world still do not know what it is like to experience real freedom. Such people are suppressed,

but we as Americans are able to build our families and pursue whatever dreams we wish. This is the tenet upon which we were founded, and it remains true today. We continue to be the home of the brave, boasting strong military forces and veterans to which we owe much gratitude. They fight and sacrifice each and every day in the name of our flag, a symbol that deserves the utmost respect. With Flag Day recently celebrated, it is an easy time of the year to reflect upon the blessings we have every day as Americans. Look upon the flag and remember what it means to be free.

ing to an ofﬁcial in the last administraSHERROD tion about BROWN how to U.S. SENATOR best support American manufacturing, and he remarked to me, “You know, everyone says they want more manufacturing, but no one wants their kid to do it.” We are working to change that. Manufacturing is one of our state’s most important industries, but too often, our companies can’t ﬁnd workers with the right skills, while our students don’t realize all the opportunities available to them. When some students hear the word “manufacturing,” they think about dirty, dusty old jobs, and the outdated, offensive term “rust belt.” But today’s Ohio factories aren’t rusty – they’re innovative and high-tech, and will provide goodpaying, high-skilled jobs to future generations of Ohioans. We need to help today’s Ohio students see all of the potential careers they could have

summer manufacturing camps for 4th through 8th graders across Ohio. And the number of camps has grown each year – we’ll have at least 19 camps this summer, in every corner of the state. Campers will have the opportunity to tour actual engineering and manufacturing facilities, and work on hands-on projects that allow them to see where STEM education can take them in the real world. Students in Mahoning County will build their own musical instruments or their own boats, learning about the engineering involved in music and travel. Sixth-graders in

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The 24th annual Matt Light All-Conference Football Camp was ďŹ lled to capacity with 206 campers taking part in the two day free football camp focusing on campers ages 8-14. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I truly enjoy this camp,â&#x20AC;? Light said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a lot of fun here. This is a chance for me to take a little bit of what I have learned and share some of that experience with some of these guys, but for the most part really just running around having fun enjoying the game of football and competition.â&#x20AC;? Former Greenville and Arcanum head football coach Larry Masters returns each year from his home in Florida to direct the camp along with his wife Sherry and daughter Paige Shuster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had one of our bet-

ter camps that we have ever had,â&#x20AC;? said Masters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have 204 campers. I try to keep it at 200, but I took a couple more so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at 206 kids so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great turnout.â&#x20AC;? New England Patriots three-time Super Bowl Champion and GHS alumni Matt Light was on the ďŹ eld coaching alongside many of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ nest high school coaches from Darke and surrounding counties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re real fortunate to have Matt,â&#x20AC;? said Coach Masters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody knows that Matt does so much for Greenville and Darke County. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just like gravy to have him be able to come here every year. You watch him out here, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working with the kids and roaming around talking to them. Maybe one day they will realize how lucky they were to have this kind of contact with a guy like Matt.â&#x20AC;? The Matt Light Camp

provides participants the opportunity to learn and improve their football skills while receiving maximum personal attention from the camps professional staff under the guidance of many outstanding high school coaches, former college and professional players. A Purdue University alumni, Light had several current Purdue Boilermaker football players including 6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;2â&#x20AC;? 305 lb. Kirk Barron, 6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;5â&#x20AC;? 305 lb.

Masters stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told him you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to do this and he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;you gotta do what you gotta doâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky we have some

We have a lot of head coaches and we have assistant coaches, so we have it all covered.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am very blessed and honored to be able to be around these coaches,â&#x20AC;? said Covington head varsity football coach Ty Cates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awesome to network and talk to these guys that have had a lot of success and a lot of experience. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still a young guy so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really neat to be around these types of guys, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neat to be around Matt that we can learn so much from. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a blast to be around these kids and in this environment.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year these kids are going to have fun, they get to compete in the Light Bowl and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cool,â&#x20AC;? noted Light. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Competition is where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at in football, but any player will tell you

that what they truly remember from their early years of playing football is their coach and these coaches being able to work one on one.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of our kids here,â&#x20AC;? said Greenville head varsity football coach Aaron Shaffer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously being local to Greenville they get to learn from various coaches from around the county. We get some coaches out of the Dayton area. We have coaches here from Alter, Miami East, basically all the county schools.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be able to come out and learn some fundamentals and the way to do things right with Coach Masters and Matt (Light) is beneďŹ cial to our programs,â&#x20AC;? continued Shaffer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole Light Foundation crew run a great camp,

so the beneďŹ ts for our kids is the opportunity to gain a little bit more experience and everything football.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have over 200 kids here but we have enough coaches to manage each group really well so that they all get some time and attention,â&#x20AC;? added Light. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully that will serve them well down the road, but the very least having fun and being out here for a couple of days.â&#x20AC;? The total cost of the two day camp is paid for by the generosity of the Light Foundation and businesses in the Greenville and Darke County area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanks to all of our sponsors that step up every year,â&#x20AC;? Masters said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have 10 sponsors that have been with us 22 years, so they have been loyal too.â&#x20AC;?

Each high school basketball coach is limited to 10 days of practice with his team before the season ofďŹ cially starts in late fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is one of my 10 days,â&#x20AC;? Grote stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m using my 10 days up kind of just for this, making sure weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going. I know some schools come out and let the girls play but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying some new stuff and we want to make sure we are doing it right, so I can talk to them about it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The month of June is what we are really focusing on,â&#x20AC;? said Grote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just getting stuff done â&#x20AC;&#x201C; getting better.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have anywhere from about 16 to 17 for the summer,â&#x20AC;? concluded Grote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not too bad.â&#x20AC;?

Arcanum girls basketball camp sees record numbers BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

ARCANUM â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Arcanum Lady Trojans youth basketball camp had 45 campers at the four day event. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to bring in some third through sixth graders to get some fundamentals in this summer,â&#x20AC;? said Arcanum girls basketball coach Matt Grote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of dribbling, a lot of shooting because we really feel like if you can handle the ball and shoot the ball thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a place for you on the basketball court when you get older.â&#x20AC;? The 45 girls represents the largest number Coach Grote has had attend the camp in his tenure as the Lady Trojans head coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awesome to see all these kids here taking time away from their summer,â&#x20AC;? Grote said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of them go straight from here to the pool which is awesome for them, but really getting

them in the gym is just a great thing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tribute to them and their parents for bringing them in.â&#x20AC;? Grote receives excellent support from his high school girls basketball teams as well as a handful of girls going into the eighth grade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have all sorts of girls coming in and helping from our seniors down,â&#x20AC;? noted Grote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some kids on vacation so we had some eighth graders come in to help. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just great seeing them be able to give back and help.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are building some relationships for the future,â&#x20AC;? continued Grote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they get to school next year they will see the girls in the hallway and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure they will all say hi. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just cool to get to know some of the younger kids and pass along what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m teaching two ball dribbling, to keep their

eyes up and keep them going fast so that the defense canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come and get them,â&#x20AC;? said Lady Trojans senior Madyson Richards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Getting to know all the kids and what they are going to become is really neat,â&#x20AC;? said Arcanum sophomore Elliana Sloan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great for them to come out here and understand the game and all the fundamentals they need to learn so when they get in high school they have the hang of it so it will be easier for them to learn high quality stuff. Some of the girls are really accelerated. Some fourth graders know how to dribble with two hands.â&#x20AC;? Both Richards and Sloan agree the time spent helping the younger girls at the camp will only enhance their play when the Lady Trojans take the court for the regulars 2017-18 season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think a lot of the stuff

that I teach them will help me remember what I need to do,â&#x20AC;? said Richards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will teach me a lot like,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; noted Sloan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of them have great attitudes so it will give me a better outlook how like I need a better attitude when I go to older grades, how I al-

ways need to keep a smile on my face.â&#x20AC;? Coach Grote is pleased with the Lady Trojans program and the response to the girls basketball camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have about 10-11 girls per grade which is pretty good,â&#x20AC;? Grote said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have basket-

ball until third grade so some of these girls havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played in any Arcanum youth leagues yet but you can tell some of them are playing rec ball. Parents are deďŹ nitely working with some of their kids. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty impressed with the skills that we have here.â&#x20AC;?

The number of tennis players, both girls and boys varies from year to year for the schools tennis program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It depends on the year,â&#x20AC;? said Kiser. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had decent numbers at the high school level. Our junior high was decent but Jim is now struggling with the girls. A couple years ago it was kind of reversed, it kind of bounces back and forth.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Usually it comes from parents that have played the sport well,â&#x20AC;? Kiser said of athletes playing high school tennis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where we get a lot of our athletes, and them recruiting their friends helps as well.â&#x20AC;?

Celebrating Healthy Kids at the YMCA DARKE COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The YMCA of Darke County recently held a free community event to inspire more kids to keep their minds and bodies active at the annual YMCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Healthy Kids DayÂŽ, the Yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national initiative to improve health and well-being for kids and families. The event featured activities such as ZumbaÂŽ, a tricycle race and an obstacle course. Kids also participated in educational activities such as learning about and making healthy snacks. The Yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to motivate and teach families how to develop healthy routines at home. Brian Phillips and Nate Frazee of Greenville Township Rescue joined the Y to promote child car seat safety at Healthy Kids Day. They were on hand at the Child Development Center to talk about the importance of keeping children under the age of two in a rear-facing position while riding in a vehicle.

YMCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Healthy Kids Day, celebrated at over 1,600 Ys across the country by over 1.2 million participants, works to get more kids moving and learning, creating healthy habits that they continue all summer long. When kids are out of school, they can face hurdles that prevent them from reaching their full potential. Research shows that without access to out-of-school learning activities, kids fall behind academically â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this summer learning loss is more pronounced among students from low-income families. Kids also gain weight twice as fast during summer than the school year. As spring turns to summer, Healthy Kids Day is a powerful reminder not to let children idle away their summer days. Instead, the Y wants families to focus on â&#x20AC;&#x153;chargingâ&#x20AC;? kids up with enthusiasm for themselves and their potential. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe in the potential of all children, and

ANNUAL MEETING

Monday, June 26 at 7 PM Public is Welcome to Attend 5735 Meeker Road, Greenville, Ohio

This is the 33rd article I have written for The Early Bird. It seems like a great time to simplify and make sure you have some specific takeaways on health and wellness. After 15 years of being serious about my health and wellness, these are the points I have learned and that I share with my clients. 1. Your success is based on you alone. 2. Motivation & willpower canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be counted upon to keep you going. But if you find a reason to stick to your goals, that is often enough. Find your own reason. 3. Comparing yourself to others and their results is a recipe for disaster. You are your own unique person, with your own unique life, family life, history and genetics. 4. Your happiness is based on only you and your choices. 5. Health is a lot more than what you look like or what size clothes you fit into. Heart health, joint health, strength, power, bone health, mental wellness â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all of this is important to consider.

Diana Unger

Personal Trainer 6. The ideal weight for you is the one that allows you to live your best life. 7. It is never too late to start an exercise plan. 8. Nutrition is more of a factor in weight loss or maintenance (and even weight gain) than exercise. 9. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have good sleep habits, make it a priority to get that sorted out. 10. Check with a medical professional about starting an exercise or nutrition program. They know your medical history best.

11. Considering point 10 above, it is a very rare situation where exercise and eating right is not recommended by medical professionals. 12. Integrating strength training into your overall exercise routine will help offset age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia). 13. Women do not bulk up by lifting heavy weights. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough testosterone in their bodies to do that. If you want to shape your body and â&#x20AC;&#x153;toneâ&#x20AC;? muscles, strength training is the way to do it. 14. A well-balanced exercise routine includes some cardiovascular exercise for heart health,

strength training and flexibility training. There is no perfect routine that works for everyone. 15. Overnight results wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen. Consistency and discipline to sticking with a plan are the best ways to get results. 16. Be willing to make changes in the plan if you need to. 17. Scale weight is not the end-all in gauging health. 18. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to run to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;fitâ&#x20AC;?. There are plenty of other activities that work. And some people shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run (joint issues, etc â&#x20AC;&#x201C; check with your doctor). 19. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat yourself up if you get off track. Simply get back on track again. Perfection

is hard to maintain. Making good nutrition and exercise decisions 80+% of the time works for most people. 20. Never judge someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to health and wellness by their looks. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know their history or where they are at in their own journey.

21. Encourage everyone. These are listed in no particular order, but they are all meaningful to me. I hope you find them useful. It has been a pleasure writing for you all these months. Keep going and know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m cheering you on.

Menke takes home title of Little Miss Poultry SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

2017 Miss Chick Abigail White (center) is flanked by her court, Megan Marchal (left), 2nd runner-up, and Stephanie Bechtol (right), 1st runner-up.

White takes 2017 Miss Chick title VERSAILLES – Nine girls were all deserving of the title 2017 Miss Chick, but only one could earn the prestigious title. After two days of judging and a series of difﬁcult questions, on June 10 the judges determined Versailles High School graduate Abigail White was the winner. The daughter of Ron and Rachel White became the second member of the White family to earn the title. Her sister Elizabeth earned the title three years ago; making them the second pair of sisters to be called Miss Chick. White said, “I am so humbled that I won. This is going to be an amazing opportunity to represent my community, represent my family and to empower women to make a difference in our community and to say thank you for everything they’ve done for me.” This was White’s ﬁrst time to compete in the Miss Chick pageant. Joining White on the Miss Chick Court were

Stephanie Bechtol, ﬁrst runner-up, daughter of David and Karron Bechtol, and Megan Marchal, second runner-up, daughter of Mark and Elaine Marchal. Both contestants call Versailles home. To be crowned Miss Chick, contestants go through individual interviews with a set of judges the day before standing in front of an audience in their evening gowns to answer two additional questions randomly drawn from a basket. The contestants are judged on appearance, clothing, poise (ability to speak, platform presence), and personal interview. All of the contestants looked incredible and were very well spoken. In addition to the court, contestants included Cori Lawrence, Morgan Heitkamp, Alexandria Less, Anna Groff, Amber Barga, and Chloe Rawlins. Less, of Arcanum, was the only contestant not from Versailles.

VERSAILLES – Nineteen contestants took the stage at the 33rd Little Miss Poultry Days “Eggstravaganza” contest Friday, opening day for the 2017 Versailles Poultry Days, Winning the title was Annabelle Menke, 6, daughter of Bethany Menke of Versailles. Following the announcement she had won, Menke said “It’s really great.” During her interview with Master of Ceremonies Rebecca Vagedes, Menke told the audience her grandmother had made her dress for the occasion. When asked by Vagedes if she would be going on a vacation this summer, Menke said she would be going on two trips - to Disney World and to Great Wolf Lodge. “I hear I’m going to get my own private room at Great Wolf Lodge,” Menke told a delighted audience, going on to explain the conﬁguration of the room and how she would have some “private space.” Menke also said her favorite winter activity was to “go sledding, because it’s fun.” Named 1st runnerup was Olivia Eilerman, 6, daughter of Kyle and Stephanie Eilerman of Tipp City. Eilerman wore a dress featuring chicken feathers for the contest, which she said her “Nana made for me.” She also carried a basket of cookies. When Vagedes asked who the cookies were for, Eilerman said “the judges.” After stepping up in front of the judges for the ofﬁcial twirl, Eilerman promptly passed out a cookie to each of the three judges and two scorekeep-

ers. Eilerman said her favorite toy was her Elsa doll, and she also would be taking vacation this summer to Norris Lake. “Catching ﬁsh is my favorite part,” she told Vagedes, admitting she doesn’t eat the ﬁsh she catches. Gabrielle Nelson, 6, daughter of Ron and Theresa Nelson of Versailles, won the 2nd runner-up. Nelson wore a dress made by her grandmother, recited her siblings names and ages and said her “most favorite brother is Nathaniel” because “he’s big and he can protect me.” Nelson said her vacation spot for this summer was going to be the sand dunes of Michigan where you can “build sandcastles and there’s lots of sand.” She also said her favorite wintertime activity was “building snowmen.” Following the contest, Nelson said she was happy she’d been named to the Little Miss Poultry Days

court because “I love getting trophies.” The remaining Little Miss Poultry Days contestants were Cadence Phlipot, 6, daughter of Todd and Kathy Phlipot of Versailles; Quinn Parin, 5, daughter of Tony and Jennifer Parin of Bradford; Emma Selhorst, 5, daughter of Kevin and Sarah Selhorst of North Star; Elizabeth Ruhenkamp, 6, daughter of Steve and Angie Ruhenkamp of North Star; Stella Bergman, 5, daughter of Aaron and Susan Bergman of Versailles; Miranda Miller, 5, daughter of Adam and Kristin Miller of Versailles; Maggie McKibben, 4, daughter of Brian and Erin McKibben of Versailles; Emalyn Trostel, 4, daughter of Daniel and Kimberly Trostel of Russia; Audrey Ward, 5, daughter of Scott and Kim Ward of Versailles; Olivia Bergman, 5, daughter of Ryan and Rachel Bergman of North Star; Brooke Bruns, 5, daughter of Josh and Becky Bruns of Yorkshire; Camille

GREENVILLE – Patients with special needs have become a specialty for Greenville’s Dr. Ron G. Dean, D.M.D. In practice for 17 years this coming fall, Dean ﬁrst experienced working with special needs patients during his residency at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton. “I really enjoyed treating that group of patients so I decided to approach Wayne Hospital about opening an outpatient dental service to serve our local community and beyond,” Dean explained. Patients who have physical or mental disabilities also may have complicated medical histories – and can be taking multiple medications, which may present challenges for dental treatment. “The biggest challenge for them is their inability to cooperate in the traditional ofﬁce setting,” Dean said. “Our outpatient service allows us to deliver care under general anesthesia so these patients can be treated safely and optimally.”

Dr. Ron Dean and his staff are trained to provide dental care for special needs patients.

Due to limited motor skills, brushing and oral care may be difﬁcult for these patients, Dean said.. “Regular dental hygiene and X-rays can make a huge difference for these patients in keeping their natural teeth,” Dean said. “Prosthetic replacement of missing teeth can be very challenging so keeping natural teeth is of the upmost importance in this

patient group.” For special needs patients who may need surgery or care beyond regular checkups, Dean’s practice offers the county’s only CT scanner, which allows precise placement of dental implants for patients missing teeth or for patients looking for stability of dentures or partials. Following his graduation from the University

of Louisville’s School of Dentistry, Dean received additional hospital-based training where he learned to manage patients with complex medical histories as well as patients with mental disabilities.

Darke County Sheriff’s Department employees enjoy lunch and the company of PCS clients.

They were served by very eager individuals from each entity of PCS along with great conversations and a lot of

hand shaking and hugs. Lunch consisted of a taco buffet, chips, desert and drinks. PCS Darke County is thankful to all these wonderful men and women who serve and protect us all every day. The third annual luncheon is already in the planning stages. PCS is located at 5844 Jaysville-St. Johns Road, Greenville.

His unique brand of entertain-

ment is loved by all ages. Bring blankets or lawn chairs and enjoy the show on the lawn under the shade trees.

The Art of Nature Journaling at DCP GREENVILLE – Do you want a deeper appreciation of the world around you? Maybe just record what you see on your hike? How about practice your sketching or watercolor skills on an outdoor subject? Join Darke County Parks and Greenville Art Guild for a workshop on the art of nature journaling, June 24 at 9 a.m. at Shawnee Prairie Preserve and discuss the different styles, purposes, and media used to keep a journal (with a special focus on pen and ink, watercolor, and colored pencils); they’ll explore journal ex-

amples and try it out. If the weather permits, they’ll be outside; bring a lawn chair and your preferred journaling materials (ex: pens, pencils, colored pencils, tablet, journal, diary, or loose paper). Registration is required; call the Nature Center at (937) 548-0165 to reserve you free spot. Join the Greenville Art Guild for their annual “Paint Out” following the program. For more information, contact the Nature Center at (937) 548-0165 or email info@darkecountyparks. org.

GREENVILLE – Where does the money go and who is it helping? That’s a question the Darke County United Way (DCUW) receives frequently. The answer – over 56,000 interactions with local residents through numerous agencies serving Darke County. Christy Baker, executive director of DCUW said, “Darke County United Way agencies had over 56,000 interactions with Darke County residents this past year. Last year, the United Way raised $498,000, but the agencies provided nearly $900,000 worth of services. We still have work to do in order to provide the financial resources these nonprofits need in order to take on our community’s most daunting social crises.” Baker further explained the agencies support nearly every aspect of life, “The United Way’s mission is to fight for the health, education,

and financial stability of EVERY Darke County resident. With the community’s ongoing support, we will continue the fight to make Darke County a better place to live and work for everyone.” The fourth quarter reports from some of the agencies served by DCUW highlight the impact the agency is making. The DCUW provided $69,700 in funding to the agencies in the fourth quarter; however, their programs actually cost $236,654.27 to run. They served 19,155 Darke County residents in the last three months. * The American Red Cross Darke County Chapter installed 233 smoke alarms in Darke County homes and made 210 veteran visits.  The Boys & Girls Club served over 1,300 children in the last quarter. They utilized their new kitchenette to teach the kids how to fix/cook several differ-

GREENVILLE – Outstanding elementary school students from across the nation will take part in a unique academic development experience, the National Youth Leadership Forum (NYLF): Pathways to STEM. Held on campuses across the country, the forum inspires students in grades 3 – 5 to explore life as an engineer, a doctor, or a detective. Locally, Madison McCool has been selected to attend the Pathways to STEM at Bowling Green State University. The nineyear-old will be going into fourth grade at Greenville Primary in the fall. She was nominated by her teacher, Hanna Miller. She is the daughter of Matthew and Sierra Allen and Justin and Ashley McCool. “This is a great opportunity for high-achieving scholars to get outside the classroom and see,

through hands-on interactive learning, how to innovate and think creatively,” said Andrew Potter, the Chief Academic Ofﬁcer for NYLF Pathways to STEM. “These students, who have already proven themselves academically, are challenged to work on real-world, student-created projects to bring their studies to life.” Students who attend the program study engineering, medicine, and forensic science in a journey that introduces them to potential college and career paths. Simulation and role-playing exercises also introduce them to teambuilding, problem-solving, presentation skills and goal-setting, all of which are essential for success in the 21st century. “They will scrub in as doctors, build robots and investigate classic ‘whodunit’ crimes,” Potter

During the last quarter, 9,986 new kids received prevention education.  During the last quarter, State of the Heart Care provided $23,856 in free services to those facing a life-limiting illness. That equates to 136 days of hospice care.

managed databases while Ryan Marshall of Troy provided one-on-one tutoring to local elementary students in need of assistance. Meanwhile, Jessica Apple of Troy and Eddie Olinger of Dayton traveled with 75 of Troy’s middle school students and nine chaperones to Campbellsville, Ky., to attend a threeday, two-night experience at the Tim Horton Camp Kentahten. “The camp experience is designed to build positive character traits, teamwork and independence amongst students so that they can learn and apply these newly-developed skills back home, in school, and in their communities,” said Rohlfs. In addition to Troy students beneﬁtting from the experience, both Edison State students returned home with a greater sense of being. “I learned a lot from the experience,” said Olinger.

“It was exciting to be a part of something bigger than myself, and to work in a team environment and see your impact both directly and indirectly.” “The camp really focused on allowing the kids to see and be a leader,” added Apple. “Not someone who takes control, but someone who can step up and lead a team to work together toward a better end goal. I think the focus on being a leader is important to everyday life skills, especially when applied to the business ﬁeld.” Both would do it all again if the opportunity presented itself. “Being a part of Camp Kentahten for my service learning project was honestly a life changing experience for me because I was getting to know kids who really just needed someone to listen and understand. My experience at camp is one I won’t forget. This is an opportunity I

am hoping to get to experience again,” added Apple. Apple and Olinger, along with their 32 classmates, will graduate in May with an Associate of Applied Business degree and handson experience to help launch their professional careers or continue their education. Olinger, who is currently employed in a customer service role, hopes to advance his career in a marketing or public relations capacity. Apple plans to transfer to the University of Cincinnati to continue her education in marketing. “The TFBT board of trustees and I were thrilled to have their involvement and are grateful to instructors Ruth Barney and Sandra Streitenberger for including TFBT in such a meaningful experience for the students, community non-proﬁts, and Edison State,” added Rohlfs.
