Insurance drowning hope of beach opening at Wayne Lakes SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

WAYNE LAKES – The fate of the beach at Wayne Lakes will be decided July 9. According to Mayor Ellen Brown, council had decided to keep the beach closed this summer in order to help get the village back on track ﬁnancially. “We’re tightening our budget because if we don’t, we will have issues,” she said, noting other activities have been curtailed in the village. “We planned to reopen the beach as soon as ﬁnancially feasible,” Brown said. However, a couple months ago, Brown said, New Madison resident and owner of Kennedy Vineyards, John Kennedy approached council with a plan to lease the beach. “We were really excited,” Brown said of Kennedy’s offer. Now, due to Kennedy’s inability to obtain insurance that matches the village’s policy, council will be voting July 9, Brown said “whether or not to give John Kennedy more time to get insurance or

terminate the contract.” Along with the stipulation Kennedy provide matching liability insurance, the contract also set a rental agreement. The agreement was that he rents the beach for $1 per year for the next three years, then we would negotiate,” Brown said, adding the village has “not seen the $1.” Soon after Kennedy’s offer to rent the beach, he and Brown met to discuss contract terms, which included the necessity for Kennedy to obtain insurance. The village currently holds a $2 million policy with a $4 million aggregate – the maximum amount an insurer will pay for covered losses during a policy period. Kennedy told The Early Bird the most he could get quoted for is a $1 million policy. “It’s unnecessary to be that high,” he said of Wayne Lakes’ policy, admitting he signed the lease, which was drawn up by the village’s attorney, before investigating the insurance requirement. “I didn’t realize that they were paying too much,”

he said. “I was under the impression they did their due diligence, that they did their homework. The village of Wayne Lakes is broke. They have no money.” Kennedy also said a “number of (insurance) companies” have told him the village’s policy “was high.” Brown said the village has had the same insurer since 1991. She also said she’s checked and “the (village’s) insurance is in line for what we are liable for.” Karen Kaiser of Phelan Insurance in Versailles, said Wayne Lakes’ insurance was appropriate due to the nature of the policy. “When you write any policy for a municipality, they go through everything that’s in the municipality,” she said, which in this case would include all the bodies of water. According to Brown there are 18 “working” lakes in the village. Kiser also said in addition to bodies of water, the policy may include other public entities within a municipality, including parking areas, parks, etc. as well as how these areas would be used by the pub-

lic – for example swimming, fishing or boating. “An application (for insurance) would ask these questions. Are there lifeguards, set hours, for example,” she explained. On July 9, Kennedy said he will be at the council meeting “with information I have about other villages” which includes a $1 million insurance policy held by the village of Ar- The beach at Wayne Lakes may not open for the 2018 season.

Audit reveals mismanagement by former Wayne Lake ofﬁcials SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

WAYNE LAKES – An audit released this week by state auditor Dave Yost’s office reveals former village officials improperly used funds for a number of purchases, including conducting raffles and buying prizes for residents during 2015-16. A total of 12 infractions were described in the auditor’s press release. “The village’s (former) Mayor (the late Gary Young) withdrew $500 in village funds in 2015 to be used as prize money for a catfish tournament,” the release states. It also goes

on to report the former mayor repaid the funds to the village. Also, in both 2015 and 2016, Tammy Barger, the village’s fiscal officer at the time, withdrew $100 to be used as prize money for the village’s Halloween party. Although these parties were approved by council vote, the audit said, the Halloween parties “are not deemed to be for a proper public purpose.” According to the audit, village officials also purchased fundraiser raffle tickets, a golf cart for $3,500 and a kayak for $220. The permit for the golf cart was another $187. The audit also is requir-

ing Barger to repay $4,197 to the village’s general fund and $13 to the debt service fund. The audit concluded that the “village should implement procedures to eliminate sponsored raffles and fundraisers and to procure financing for projects and operations from other legitimate means.” In its response to the findings, the village reported that as of “January 2018, the village will no longer allow or take part in any raffle/drawing or fundraiser sponsored by the village government. As of April and May of this year, the residents are in the process of establishing a Booster Club and a 5K

Run non-profit for the village fundraisers.” Wayne Lakes Mayor Ellen Brown said the audit findings were not a surprise. “We’ve been working on this all year,” said Brown, who was sworn in as mayor in January to fill the unexpired term of the late Mayor Young.

Darke County Fairboard discussion on audit is vague RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Darke County Fairboard may or may not have had issues with their most recent audit and so far members have only hinted at an issue. The issue was vaguely addressed during a special meeting of the board on Wednesday. Former fair manager, Daryl Rifﬂe, was in attendance and was on the agenda with a line item that stated “Audit Letter.” Instead of discussing the

issue in open session, the board chose to go into executive session to discuss “legal matters.” Although the motion did not include inviting Riffle into the closed door meeting, a board member retrieved him from the office and invited him in. It was learned later in the meeting the “legal matter” was a bill submitted by Riffle to the board in regards to legal fees he incurred by providing information for the Agricultural Society’s audit. After an hour long executive session where the

board discussed “legal matters” and a “contract,” the board voted to go back into open session and current fair manager and board member, Brian Rismiller, immediately moved to not pay the bill, referring to a letter in possession of the board. The motion was seconded by Jerry Marker. The vote passed 5-4 with afﬁrmative votes from Rismiller, Marker, Ed Erisman, Doug Martin, and Dean Neff. Richard Delk, Dave Niley, Cindy Rifﬂe, and Jim Zumbrink voted against the motion. Thomas Shaw abstained

and Russ Bennett was absent. Zumbrink asked, “Are we going to visit this again next month?” “I’ll do some checking,” Rismiller responded. “You make darn sure you ask her (auditor) why we needed to get an attorney,” said Zumbrink. From the audience, Rifﬂe asked Shaw why he abstained. “I was not at that October meeting and I wasn’t part of any of the audit. I really wasn’t consulted with any of the audit.” Rismiller, alluding to a bill sent to them by the auditor, said, “I don’t think

we should pay our part of the bill.” A question was raised as to whether there would be another meeting with the auditor and why Riffle wasn’t included in the last meeting. “I asked to have him present at the last meeting and they said not to. That was a recommendation from your auditor,” said Rismiller. He explained it didn’t make sense to him since it was his (Riffle’s) audit. Following the meeting, the fairboard sent a letter to Riffle stating, “Dear Daryl, after reviewing your

Shoplifter ‘wasn’t thinking’ when stealing steaks totaling $147 SHOPLIFTING

On June 20 an officer was dispatched to Kroger in reference to a theft complaint. The loss prevention employee said he observed the suspect, Ethan Albert enter the store rather quickly, which got his attention. The employee began to follow Albert and observed him enter the meat department, remove a plastic Kroger bag from his pocket and proceed to select several high dollar steaks and place them in the bag. The loss prevention officer continued to follow Albert until he walked to the front of the store, where he passed all points of sale and exit the store without paying for any of his items. The loss prevention employee stopped Albert outside the store and asked him to come back inside to the office. When asked, Albert stated he just wasn’t thinking while he was stealing the steaks. The loss prevention employee provided a copy of the store receipt, which showed five steaks totaling $147.24. Kroger provided a statement and video. Albert was issued a citation for theft, trespassed from Kroger and sent on his way. The video was transported to GPD and placed into property for court. SUBJECT WITH WEAPON

On June 19 officers were dispatched to the 400 block of East Third Street on the report of a man brandishing a firearm. As officers

approached the residence, they were met by two neighbors of the suspect, Steven Evans. One of the neighbors explained how he saw Evans become angry when looking at his mail, eventually throwing it into the street as well as into the neighbor’s yard. The two became involved in a verbal argument about Evans not picking up his mail. Following the altercation, one of the neighbors picked up the mail and put it back inside Evans’ mailbox. A few minutes later, Evans came back out of his apartment and started to yell at the neighbor again. The two yelled back and forth for a few minutes before another neighbor stepped outside to see both subjects arguing. The argument became so heated that Evans threw the mail and newspaper at Evans. The neighbors then saw Evans lift up his shirt to reveal a handgun located in his waistband. They said Evans pulled up the gun in his waistband so he could show it. He never pulled the gun out and never said he was going to use it, but one of the neighbors believed he was in danger and that Evans was threatening him. When officers spoke with Evans, he denied having a handgun. He also told the officers the mail got into his neighbor’s yard because “he (neighbor) must have put it there.” An adult probation officer was called to the

scene because Evans was on probation. The probation officer told Evans while on probation he was subject to having his apartment searched without a warrant. Evans unlocked the door to his apartment and after a few minutes of searching, officers found a Ruger LCR .38 special 5 shot pistol in a boot lying on the floor. Five round nose bullets were located on top of a nightstand approximately 10 feet from the gun. Evans was arrested and asked where the gun came from. He told officers he bought it off a guy named Tom Tom in Richmond, Ind. Evans was taken to jail and the gun and bullets were taken to the Greenville Police Department. OVERDOSE

On June 22 an officer was dispatched to the 400 block of East Fifth Street on the report of a drug overdose. When the officer arrived, Eyvonne Fields was laying on her back on the front porch near the door and a male subject was performing chest compressions. The officer asked the male what drug Fields had used and he said he did not know because he had just met up with her at East Fifth Street and Ludlow. When they walked back to Fields’ residence, she became unconscious when they got to the front porch. Greenville Township Rescue responded and administered three doses of Narcan. The of officer asked Fields what she used and she said she was confused and didn’t know. Fields was taken to Wayne Hospital by the squad. Of Officers learned Fields had an outstanding felony probation warrant through the Darke County Sheriff’s Of Office. While at Wayne ER, the reporting officer heard Fields tell a doctor she had used either heroin or fentanyl. Fields was released and arrested by a sheriff’s deputy. The case will be reviewed with the prosecutor to see if charges are to be filed. DRUGS

On June 19 an officer initiated a traffic stop on Pine Street for a headlight violation. Upon making contact with the juvenile driver, the officer could smell a strong odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. The juvenile said he did not know where the odor was coming from. The officer advised the juvenile since he could smell marijuana, he had reasonable suspicion drugs were in the vehicle and he did not need the juvenile’s consent to conduct a search. The juvenile said he understood and that the truck belonged to his father. He also told the officer if there was anything in the truck it could belong to his father. Another officer arrived to assist. The father then arrived on the scene and told officers his son had just been released from juvenile probation for possession of marijuana. The officers began searching the vehicle and located a large baggy containing a green leafy vegetation, which had

the odor of marijuana, underneath the rear passenger side seat. The officer took the bag to the juvenile and asked him what it was. The juvenile said he did not know, but that his friend had been sitting in the rear passenger side of the vehicle earlier in the day. The juvenile was placed in the back seat of a cruiser while the officers continued their search. A second large bag was located under the passenger side rear seat containing the same green leafy vegetation as the first bag. Nothing else was located. The officer read the juvenile his Miranda rights and asked again about the marijuana. The juvenile said he did not know and that it could belong to his friend. The juvenile was released from the scene to his father. The two bags of suspected marijuana were taken as evidence and were transported to the GPD. Charges are pending depending upon the weight of the suspected marijuana in order to determine the appropriate charge and possible finger printing of the bags. WANTED PERSON

On June 20 an officer was called to the 400 block of East Main Street in ref reference to a person with a warrant. Upon arrival, the officer made contact with a resident who told the of officer the subject, William Bush was inside. Bush had an active warrant for his arrest for failure to appear on DUS and window tint. Bush was located and placed under arrest. While conducting a search of Bush, a syringe and 10 white pills, which was later found to be Gabapentin were located in Bush’s book bag. Bush was transported to the county jail, where he was incarcerated and held on $5,025 bond. The syringe and pills were placed into property. Possible charges are pending based upon if Bush can produce a prescription for the Gabapentin. On June 20 officers were called to Cheap Tobacco on Wagner Avenue in reference to a known subject with an arrest warrant. While in route to the call, an officer passed the suspect’s vehicle on Wagner Avenue. The of officer turned around and got behind the vehicle on Water Street near Locust Street and observed a male matching the description of the suspect in the passenger front seat. As the of officer turned his patrol car around, he could see the male slump down in the seat as they drove past like he was trying to hide. A traf traffic stop was initiated on the vehicle and the officer made contact with the suspect, Joshua Rhoades. The female driver was asked to shut the vehicle off. The officer then opened the front passenger door and called Rhoades by his name. According to the report, Rhoades said “come on man, are you serious.” The officer asked Rhoades to exit the vehicle and he was placed under arrest for his warrants. Rhoades had one

warrant from GPD for failure to appear for an original charge of DUI and one from Mercer County for failure to appear for a drug offense. Rhoades’ identity and warrants were confirmed and he was transported to the county jail, where he was incarcerated for both warrants and held with no bond. On June 20 an officer on routine patrol saw a juvenile, who had an active warrant for his arrest. The officer made contact with the juvenile and confirmed the warrant for a probation violation with the original offense of falsification. The juvenile was placed under arrest and a representative from the Darke County Juvenile Probation arrived on scene to take the juvenile into custody. On June 22 an officer was dispatched to the 600 block of Wayne Avenue in reference to a subject with a felony warrant. Two officers arrived and one approached the front door, while the other officer watched the back door. Speaking with the officer at the front door, Jesse Baker’s grandmother indicated he was inside her residence. While the officer was talking with the grandmother, Baker went out the back door where the other officer could see him. He then turned around went back inside the house. One of the officers recognized Baker and gave chase, following him inside the residence where he was able to secure one of Baker’s arms. The other officer came inside and was able to secure the other arm. The defendant kept pulling away from officers and was told several times to stop resisting, and that he was under arrest. Another officer arrived at the scene. The defendant continued to resist officers even after being told they were going to use pepper spray or the Taser unless he complied. When the defendant still did not comply officers used pepper spray. He continued to resist and was able remove his right hand from the handcuff. Once officers used the Taser he complied. The defendant was escorted out of the house where Greenville Township Rescue Squad tended to the defendant’s

taser wound and eyes from pepper spray. After being treated, Baker was transported to the Darke County Jail where he was incarcerated on resisting arrest and the felony warrant for probation violation on the original charge of unauthorized use of a vehicle. Baker was issued a citation for resisting arrest. On June 23 an officer was dispatched to Front Street at Hiddeson Avenue in reference to a suspicious vehicle parked in back of the home. The officer made contact with a male and female sleeping inside the vehicle. The male identified himself as Robert A. Hobbs. An investigation revealed Hobbs had an active warrant through Darke County verified through LEADS/ NCIC. Hobbs was transported to the Darke County Jail. The warrant is for failure to appear on drug abuse, no driver’s license and lanes of travel. The bond is $1,525. DUI

On June 23 an officer was patrolling the area of Russ Road at Highland Drive and observed a vehicle leave its lane of travel and enter the center turn lane with its left two tires. The vehicle then quickly corrected and entered back into the westbound lane. The officer also heard loud music playing from inside the vehicle. The officer conducted a traf traffic stop and identified the driver as Adam Hinshaw. Henshaw said he had just left Sloopy’s bar, where he had a couple of drinks. The officer noticed a strong odor of alcoholic coming from inside the vehicle that became stronger as Hinshaw spoke. He also had slurred speech and bloodshot eyes. Hinshaw was asked to perform a standardized field sobriety test, which he performed poorly. Hinshaw was arrested for OVI and transported to the Darke County Jail to take a breath test. He was placed under an administrative license suspension. It also was found during the stop that Hinshaw’s operator’s license was under an active non-compliance license suspension. He was cited for OVI, non-compliance license suspension and marked lanes. He was released to his father.

Campers ‘eggsperience’ Eggciting Science Camp BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Darke County is now home to group of 6 and 7 year olds who can be can be considered ‘eggs-perts.’ Thanks to the Eggciting Science Camp hosted by Darke County Parks, the group of nine eager learners are spending this week learning all they can about eggs of all varieties – chicken, butterﬂies and frog eggs to name a few. Mandy Martin, park naturalist, led several eggrelated activities and experiments during the ﬁveday camp. On Tuesday, the campers participated in “The Great Egg Drop,” using their imaginations to create a safe container for their eggs. One by one they climbed the steps inside the Shawnee Prairie’s Log

House to drop their creation from an upstairs window. Only two of the nine eggs met their demise when they landed – not bad for the feather, felt and pipe cleaner-covered raw eggs. The Darke County Parks offer 10 summer camps, Martin said. Although summer camp activities aren’t necessarily based on grade level curriculum, Martin explained, the campers are still learning. “Everything we do is science or outside recreationbased,” she said. This is the ﬁrst year for the egg-themed camp. After participating in the egg drop on Tuesday, the campers hiked back to the nature center’s classroom to check on their raw eggs that had been soaking in vinegar. Shouts of “eww” and

“wow” were shared as they used a spoon to remove the now rubbery eggs from glasses of vinegar. Martin compared the eggs to bouncy balls as the boys and girls removed the now-soft shells. For another eggsperiment, participants also poked holes in raw eggs to discover the membrane, then cracked open the eggs to “dissect” and study all

the parts. Hutson Cantrell, 7, said he used felt, feathers and string to keep his egg from cracking during the egg drop. “I learned the egg was super, dooper hard,” Cantrell said. Caden Jones, 6, probably wouldn’t agree, though. His egg was one of the two that didn’t make it. But Caden had really good luck poking another egg for the membrane experiment, expressing his excitement with “I did it!” For more information about spots that may still be available at the park district’s remaining summer camps, call 548- 0165. The camps are listed

He should step aside

Just read in the EARLY BIRD about a public hearing held by the Board of Education that I was NOT aware of. Apparently only three educators were the only people that spoke, maybe because most people were NOT aware of the meeting. Of course they were all positive about their Boss. The retire/rehire of the Superintendent is NOT right, and not only gives the appearance of something shady especially with ALL the additional LAVISH PERKS AND BENEFITS, like Paid Health Insurance FOR LIFE, an Annual $20,000 a year Annuity that have NOT BEEN DISCLOSED. It should be a time to step aside and let someone have the opportunity for upward mo-

bility and advancement. Yes Mr. Fries did ramrod the bond issue for the new multimillion dollar K-8 building at great taxpayer expense, not to mention that at the high school building there are classes that DONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T have enough computers for all the students to use, and have to share. That is NOT the way students should have to learn. Not a good distribution of funds. As the one elementary educator said â&#x20AC;&#x153;wanted the board to open their eyes to his dedicationâ&#x20AC;?, and maybe look at funding needed areas, and not multimillion dollar projects. Looks like in the Empire building business, NOT Education business. Don Miller, Greenville

Legislation helps curb Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opioid crisis COLUMBUSâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;State Representative Keith Faber (R-Celina) recently announced the Ohio House has passed House Bill 231, legislation sponsored by Reps. Tim Ginter (R-Salem) and Robert Sprague (RFindlay) that would enact a pilot program in pharmacies for tamperresistant containers. House Bill 231 would require the State Board of Pharmacyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;contingent upon an appropriation from the General Assemblyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to administer a twoyear pilot program that would dispense schedule II controlled substances in lockable or tamper-evident containers. Schedule II drugs include narcotics like oxycodone, hydrocodone, fentanyl,

and more. The goal of the legislation is to cut down on misuse of prescription drugs by reducing the accessibility of the medications and the threat of theft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many drug abusers started by abusing a family memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prescriptions,â&#x20AC;? Faber said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This bill makes it more difďŹ cult for diversions of prescription drugs that lead to such abuse.â&#x20AC;? The bill would also require the State Board of Pharmacy to reimburse pharmacies for the cost of participating in the program, which includes expenses related to the special packaging for eligible prescriptions. House Bill 231 now awaits consideration by the Senate.

Guarding against security threats WASHINGTON, DC â&#x20AC;&#x201C; U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) recently announced that his bipartisan measure to strengthen the tools the U.S. uses to block national security threats posed by investments from China and other countries has passed the Senate as a part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Earlier this month, Brown took to the Senate ďŹ&#x201A;oor to call for the passage of this bill. Brown thanked Banking Committee Chairman Mike Crapo (R-ID), Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), and Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) for their work in passing this bill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No country has been more aggressive than China in going after American technology in sectors like aviation, robotics, new energy vehicles, and others where the U.S. has established ourselves as a global leader,â&#x20AC;? said Brown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our bipartisan bill will give CFIUS and our export control agencies the tools they need to ensure that these types of investments donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slip through the cracks.â&#x20AC;? In May, the U.S. Senate Committee on Bank-

ing, Housing, and Urban Affairs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; of which Brown is Ranking Member â&#x20AC;&#x201C; passed the bill led by Brown and Republican Chairman Mike Crapo of Idaho. The Brown-Crapo bill would modernize and strengthen the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States â&#x20AC;&#x201C; known as CFIUS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so the Committee is better equipped to handle emerging threats from China. From 2013 to 2015, the number of Chinese acquisitions coming under CFIUS review jumped 38 percent. In the same way CFIUS protects national security, Brown and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) have also introduced legislation to protect American jobs and the economy from foreign investments. Last year, Brown and Grassley introduced the Foreign Investment Review Act, which would require review of certain proposed foreign investments for their impact on the U.S. economy and jobs. The Senatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bill would require a review of certain foreign investments to determine if they are in the economic interest of the U.S.

A better Farm Bill for all Ohioans The best ideas donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come out of Washington â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they come out of conversaSHERROD tions with BROWN Ohioans.

Raising grandchildren bill gets support WASHINGTON, D.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; U.S. Senator Sherrod Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (D-OH) bipartisan bill to support grandparents now raising children in light of the opioid epidemic is headed to President Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desk to be signed into law. Congress passed the ďŹ nal version of the bill last week. The Supporting Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Act is also sponsored by U.S. Sens. Bob Casey (D-PA) and Susan Collins (R-ME). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Among the victims of the opioid epidemic are the kids whose parents are struggling with addiction or whose parents have been taken far too soon by this public health crisis,â&#x20AC;? said Brown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to learn more about the challenges facing grandparents and other relatives in Ohio who have stepped up as caregivers, so we can support them as they raise these children.â&#x20AC;? Grandparents are stepping up into a parenting role increasingly as parents overdose or enter recovery for addiction. In response to this trend, the Supporting Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Act would establish a Federal Task Force to Support Grandparents Raising Grandchildren to identify, coordinate and share information and

mittee on a broad bipartisan vote, and it could come to the full Senate ďŹ&#x201A;oor as early as next week. This bill is a big win for Ohio. It will provide certainty for Ohio farmers, protect Lake Erie, spur economic development in rural Ohio, and feed hungry children and their families. As we worked on the Farm Bill, I held roundtables and talked with farmers and community leaders all across our state, including talking with Ohio Dairy farmers in Wooster about

resources to help grandparents and other relatives who are stepping up to raise children meet the needs of kids in their care while maintaining their own health and well-being. The formation of this task force complements the March spending bill that was signed into law, which includes funding to ramp up response to the opioid epidemic. The package includes $65 million to fund opioid detection devices and equipment called for in Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s INTERDICT Act, which President Trump signed into law earlier this year. The devices will help Customs and Border Agents detect and stop dangerous drugs like fentanyl before they enter the U.S. Brown also worked to ensure that Ohio will be among the ďŹ rst in line to receive the opioid funding included in the agreement. Brown originally announced $6 billion in opioid funding as part of the long-term spending agreement Congress reached earlier this year. The spending package Congress passed allocates the ďŹ rst $3 billion of that money will be spent. At Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urging, the package speciďŹ cally prioritizes the hardest-hit states, like Ohio. & " "! $ $!

how the current dairy program wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working for them. We already worked to improve the program in the bipartisan budget deal this spring, and we built on that work by improving the Agriculture Risk Program for Ohio farmers, so that it can better target support for small and medium-sized producers. We also secured important provisions from my bipartisan water quality improvement bill, the Give Our Resources the Opportunity to Work â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or the GROW Act. I worked with Republican Senators Joni Ernst and Chuck Grassley on this bill to improve water quality and better support Ohio farmers by refocusing federal investments, targeting sensitive land to prevent runoff into Lake Erie and protect water quality â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all while expanding access to quality farmland. These provisions will help reduce harmful algal blooms, and improve soil health across Ohio. We made it a bipartisan priority to protect hungry families. These are often working families with children, who work long hours at low-wage jobs with paychecks that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stretch far enough to cover high rents and groceries. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I pushed back against efforts to add unnecessary bureaucratic hoops and regulation, and make sure Ohio families get the food they need to keep kids from going hun-

gry. I also heard from a lot of folks about the challenges of connecting farmers who are looking to ďŹ nd new markets for their products with Ohio families eager to buy fresh, locally-grown food. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty simple idea â&#x20AC;&#x201C; why should Ohioans buy raspberries from California, when they could buy them from a farm in Knox or Clinton County? When we make it easier for Ohioans to buy food grown or raised in Ohio, everyone wins. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I introduced the bipartisan Local FARMs bill with Republican Susan Collins, which we included in the Farm Bill. That provision will provide permanent funding to help farmers increase their proďŹ ts by selling directly to consumers. It will create rural jobs, and invest in local and regional food economies. At a time when it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem like much bipartisan cooperation happens in Washington, we worked together on the Ag Committee, across party lines, and produced real results for Ohio. This bill is good for farmers, good for families, good for taxpayers, good for jobs, and good for Lake Erie. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m committed to working with my colleagues of both parties to get this bill across the ďŹ nish line and signed into law this year.

Shaffer tabbed to lead Matt Light All-Conference Football Camp GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Matt Light All-Conference Football Camp will have new leadership at the top for the 2019 camp with Greenville head varsity football coach Aaron Shaffer taking over for Coach Larry Masters. “We look forward to ushering in Coach Shaffer,” Matt Light said. “He is going to be headlining this camp and we’re excited to work with him.” “I am honored to have Matt and the folks at the Light Foundation ask me to do this,” Shaffer stated. “I am more than happy to do it with all the work that Larry has put into the camp.” Coach Shaffer played

football for Greenville High School under Coach Frank Horvath where he served as team captain, earned ﬁrst team All-League GMVC honors his junior and senior years and was second team All-Ohio as a senior. “Aaron is a great coach,” Horvath said in an earlier interview with the Early Bird. “He was a great player for us and it is carrying over to the way he handles his players.” Shaffer went on to play football for Wittenberg University where he was a four-year letter winner, a three year starter at offensive tackle, named two-time First Team North Coast Athletic Conference; was a two-time All-American and was First-Team HewittPackard and Second-Team

Don Henson’s Football Gazette. “Having Matt attached to this camp since early 2000, to have him here working this camp and obviously kids get excited,” said Shaffer. “they’ve always had a couple hundred – 225 kids every year. They have done a really good job with it.” “To be able to continue to provide a free camp of good quality football instruction, fundamentals from blocking and tackling to throwing and catching, all the things that young kids need to learn as the head into their football careers,” Shaffer added, “to provide a camp at no charge to the campers is a tremendous thing.” “I don’t know where to tell you to go – I really don’t,” Masters said of the

Greenville Post 140 run-rules Richmond Legion 14-4 BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville American Legion Post 140 earned a ﬁve-inning 14-4 run-rule win over Richmond Post 65 in a Monday night game at Sater Park. “The guys really stepped up tonight both offensively and defensively,” said Greenville Post 140 coach Chad Henry. Kenny Moore tossed a complete game for Greenville picking of the win for Post 140, allowing six hits and three earned runs while striking out ﬁve and walking one. Moore took a liner off the inside of his thigh bringing the National Trail sophomore to the ground for several minutes before getting to his feet to complete the game. “Kenny was pretty brave out there,” Henry said. “Took a come-backer and stayed out there – wasn’t any question for him. Got up, got his wits about him and pitched a heck of a game.” “He’s just coming off his sophomore year over at Trail,” continued Hen-

ry. “He doesn’t throw the hardest but he has a threepitch mix he can locate anytime. He’s a fun kid to go out and watch.” Kane Kimmel paced Post 140 with a 3-3 night at the plate driving in six runs with a single, double and triple. Greenville put two runs on the board in the bottom of the second and added three runs in the third to take a 5-0 lead with Post 65 coming to the plate in the top of the fourth. Richmond plated four runs in the inning making a 5-4 game only to have Post 140 put the game out

of reach with nine runs in the bottom of the inning to lead 14-4. Moore closed the door on Richmond in the top of the ﬁfth giving Post 140 a convincing 14-4 win. Alec Fletcher was 2-2 with a walk, three RBIs and two runs scored. Peyton Miller went 1-2 with a walk, two RBIs and two runs scored. Kyle Mills was 1-2 with a triple, two walks, an RBI and two runs scored. Tyler Neal went 1-1 with two walks and three runs scored. Tyler Beyke collected a single, an RBI and two runs scored. Brandon Beyke had a triple, an RBI and a run scored. Casey Jones had a single, a walk and a run scored. “Kyle Mills has been hitting about everything, but we even got production at the bottom of the lineup today,” noted Henry. “Kane Kimmel came through, had three hits, two extra base hits, six RBIs, was hitting the ball hard, Alec Fletcher actually swung through a bunt sign and got a hit so we’ll let that one go.” Post 140 outhit the visitors 11-6 on the night.

We’re maybe not playing in Ohio Stadium but we’re playing in Harmon Field – still same size field and everything – artificial turf now. What a great addition to this community – it’s beautiful.” “Coach Masters has done a great job with his camp starting 25 years ago when I was still in high school,” concluded Coach Shaffer. “He has done a great job with this camp.”

Tyler Kuhn Memorial draws large crowds to Greenville BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Citizens Baseball League (GCBL) hosted the Third Annual Tyler Kuhn Memorial Baseball Tournament this past weekend at Sater Park. “Tyler was a great kid, a great baseball player,” said GCBL trustee and tournament director Keith Heidrich. “It’s nice to pass this down and really have something grow in honor of Tyler.” The annual tournament is held to honor Tyler Kuhn, a 2012 GHS graduate that tragically lost his life in a car accident on October 2, 2012. Kuhn was the starting centerfielder for the Green Wave varsity baseball team and stood for everything that is right in the game of baseball. “This tournament started out kind of small and now it’s a full size tournament,” Heidrich said. “It’s a great tournament for us and it really represents what rec baseball should be. It’s a very positive tournament.” A first for the tournament had the GCBL awarding two college scholarships honoring Tyler Kuhn. The first two scholarships went to 2018 GHS graduates Owen Paulus and Kyle Mills. Both scholarship recipi-

After a week that saw local baseball games canceled due to heavy rains, the weekend proved to be a perfect weekend for baseball played in Ohio. “The forecast was for a rough week of weather but we have been very lucky all weekend with the weather,” noted Heidrich. “We were on time – it blew me away that we were on time.” “Adam Eberwein as usual put a ton of time in here getting the diamonds ready,” Heidrich added. “We absolutely wouldn’t be playing on time if it wasn’t for Adam.” Local teams included Arcanum, Greenville, Union

City, Versailles as well as teams from Celina, St. Henry, Piqua, Logan County and beyond. “There is a lot of local representation here,” Heidrich said. “The neat thing about this tournament is, we get some far teams that are driving an hour, two hours to play some new teams, so it’s a great ﬁt for everybody.” As with each GCBL tournament, the concessions stand was well stock and well-manned. “We have a lot of help, we have a lot of our allstar teams stepping up and helping in the concession stand,” said Heidrich. “Ron Kerg has done a fabulous job again getting everything ready, and he was in here early – in here at ﬁve thirty in the morning getting the concession stand ready.”

who would like to play ball and keep that spirit and fun that Tyler always put towards baseball.” “I wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors,” added Kuhn. “Tyler played when he was six years old all the way up to his senior year in school.” “I think it is wonderful that the community has remembered a role model in the past whose life was tragically taken,” said retired Ohio State Representative Jim Buchy. “By having this tournament it will keep Tyler alive for years to come so that these young people coming up will have somebody not only to look up to and emulate, but an added incentive to work harder to be eligible for scholarships to go on to become productive citizens.” Kuhn, a 2012 graduate of Greenville High School and starting centerﬁelder for

the GHS baseball team lost his life in a tragic car accident on October 2, 2012. While playing for the Wave, Tyler wore No. 10 and no player has worn the uniform number since. Tyler’s No. 10 was ofﬁcially retired at the opening ceremonies of the 2016 inaugural Tyler Kuhn Memorial Tournament. “This year is the ﬁrst time we have given these scholarships,” said veteran Greenville varsity baseball coach Eric Blumenstock whose idea it was for the memorial tournament. I couldn’t have thought of two better to lead the charge with it.” “Tyler was the type of kid that you wanted all your kids to be when they were baseball players,” added Blumenstock. “He worked hard, he loved the game, always respectful but he always had fun.”

Mills, a four year starting shortstop and pitcher for Greenville will be playing baseball for Wright State University Lake Campus. “I am very honored to be one of the ﬁrst to receive this scholarship,” said Mills. “It is just very special.” Paulus, a hard throwing left hander and owner of

a perfect game playing for the Wave will be pitching for Mount Vernon Nazarene University. “Very good honor,” Paulus said. “Just a big blessing. Great turnout for this tournament – awesome. Just everything here is for Tyler’s name and what all he did at Greenville.”

“It is a very good feeling knowing that Tyler impacted so many,” concluded Barb Kuhn. “Everybody has been very supportive for us. That was just wonderful for Coach Blumenstock to do that for Tyler. I know coach really thought highly of Tyler – he tried to give his one hundred percent.”

Greenville Legion Post 140 run-rules Piqua Post 184 BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Legion Post 140 rode the bat and arm of 2018 GHS graduate Kyle Mills to run-rule Piqua Post 184 12-1 in a Wednesday night game at Greenville’s Sater Park. Leading 10-1 heading into the bottom of the fifth inning, Casey Jones led off with a single to center bringing Mills to the plate with the Wright State Lake Campus signee drilling a home run well over the right field fence to give Greenville Legion a walkoff run-rule win. “The kid hit it,” Post 140 coach Chad Henry said of Mills. “He was 3-for-3 tonight (plus a walk) – he’s crushing the ball right now.” Mills has been on a terror at the plate having jacked four home runs in a recent weekend tournament played in Kokomo, IN. Mills was on the mound to open play, striking out the side in order in the top of the first. “Curve ball was curving like I wanted it to,” Mills said following the game. “Fastball was going straight in, didn’t miss any spots and had good control.” “The thing I like about Kyle – he really competes,” said Henry. “He goes out there, he gets ahead of guys, he doesn’t mess around and he’s a fun one to watch pitch.” Greenville grabbed a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the inning with Krue Thwaits picking up an RBI by way of a hit batsman. Post 140 added five runs in the bottom of the

second with two outs on the board, taking advantage of an RBI double off the bat of Jones, a 2-run double by Thwaits and a 2-run Peyton Miller single to center. Krue (Thwaits) is an outstanding player,” Henry stated. “We’re happy to have him here. He was off the first part of the year but he’s going to finish out with us. We have some bats there in the middle.” Piqua Post 184 put an unearned run on the board in the top of the third to trail 6-1 with Greenville coming to the plate in the bottom of the inning to score four runs and lead 10-1 after three complete. Post 140 used an inning-opening Kimmel walk, a Kody Shinabery bunt single and a Tyler Neal RBI sacrifice fly

VERSAILLES – The Versailles Garden Club thanks and congratulates the 2018 SpringFest Plant Sale. Even though the members work their gardens to get ready for the sale, it would be impossible to have a successful sale if it weren’t for the help of others. First of all, thanks to Police Chief Humphreys and the rest of the officers for allowing them to use the old firehouse on S. Center, which is their ‘garage’ and equipment storage area. They even help with some of the setup of the larger items. In addition, husbands are a big help, too. Tom Donnelly, Randy Garrison, Ron Mescher, Roger Schlater and Eddie Subler pitched in. They also thank Craig Prenger, who lives across the street from the sale, for helping Fred Williams load up the extra bags of worm castings. They also included a raffle for special gardening items and here are the winners. Diane Yakos won both sets of three planter boxes in the shape of drawers. Jill Rank won the “Love” plaque and the “Life’s a Garden” wall hanging. Diane Hemmelgarn won two geraniums. Shirley Subler won a windmill birdfeeder and a sign, “Live, Life is Good.” Shirley Schlater won a bowl and pitcher and Hattie Knapke won a gardening apron with the saying, “You Grow, Girl.” Thanks to all the great customers who stopped by - whether to visit or to buy.

A&W in Union City gets new owners BY LINDA MOODY CORRESPONDENT lmoody@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY, Ohio â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The A&W in Union City has changed hands after 45-years of ownership by Neal Butt and wife Deane. Four partners â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ted Keen, Eric Livingston, Livingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister Tonya Deeter and Deeterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter Danielle Hunt â&#x20AC;&#x201C; took over ownership of the franchise on June 20, the 99th anniversary of A&W. The business will be now known as Freedomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A&W Drive-In in memory of Keenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Livingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dog, Freedom, whom they got on the Fourth of July. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were afraid the A&W would close, and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see another business leave Union City,â&#x20AC;? said Livingston. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We talked it over for a couple of years and ďŹ nally decided to do it. The process took about a year. As kids, we ate here a lot, and when we became teens, we ate there on weekends.â&#x20AC;? Currently, there will be no changes to either the business or the menu. 937-548-5035 866-645-8405

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – An award-winning educator will be filling the assistant principal vacancy at Greenville Elementary when school resumes next month. Susan Dankworth was hired to fill the position during the June board of education meeting. The position became open when Jennifer Statzer resigned at the end of the school year to take a job with Xenia Community Schools. Dankworth, who has worked as a Troy City Schools fifth grade math and social studies teacher, as well as an administrative sub, said she’s eager to start her new duties with Greenville. “I’m so impressed,” with Greenville,” Dankworth said. “It’s a good community. It has that good hometown feel that I’m used to.” A Troy High School graduate, Dankworth earned a bachelor’s of science in education degree from The Ohio State University and a master’s in educational leadershipprincipal from Wright State University. She and her husband Jon are parents of three children, Jonathan, 24, Olivia, 21, and Taylor, 17. In 2016, Dankworth was one of two educators from Ohio who received the prestigious Presidential Award for Excellence in Math and Science Teaching for her efforts with Troy students. In May, Dankworth

was awarded an Outstanding Instructional Practice Award for helping develop an after-school program for grades 3-5. At Greenville, Dankworth said she’s hoping to help fellow administrators and teachers develop STEM – science, technology, engineering and math – initiatives for students. Her other duties will include being the math “goto” person for the elementary grade teachers. “I’m so impressed with this school. Greenville is lucky to have all teachers together so they can collaborate,” Dankworth said of the district’s K-8 facility. She also said she’s impressed with the district’s emphasis on technology, especially that students have access to iPads for learning. Her other duties, she said, will most likely include discipline, scheduling and working one-onone with students – “making sure everything’s running smoothly.”

ANSONIA – Family and friends were saddened this week on the passing of Gerald “Jerry” Koverman, former mayor, educator and active community member in the Village of Ansonia. The 1958 Minster High School graduate was the Vocational Agriculture teacher and FFA adviser in Ansonia for 34 years. He served the village on council and as mayor and got involved with a number of committees, in addition to being the voice everyone heard at Ansonia Tiger games for more than 50 years, as well as Ansonia and Great Darke County Fair parades. “Jerry was an honest and dependable man with outstanding moral character,” remarked Julie Kimmel, ﬁnancial director for the village. “He had a great personality and always had a smile on his face when I would see him. Jerry always took the time to ask

what was going on with the family and listened.” Friends Judy and Gary Middleton will also be missing him and all of the things the two couples did together. “Oh, the fun times we had,” said Judy. “He was a great guy, naturally. He, Ruth and Gary and I would go to Florida in the summer and we’d been going to Cumberland for four days for 10 years.” Via social media, here are some other responses from those who knew him: Kim and Jeff Peters: “He was such a good man. Even though he was not a teacher that Jeff or I had in high school, we thought a lot of him.” Michelle (Koverman) Brunson: “He was a great mentor and teacher to many. Jerry encouraged me to become involved as an ofﬁcer in the Ohio Ag teachers association and I was glad I did. I will never forget the OAAE Regional meeting hosted in Coshocton. Jerry’s jokes, laugh, the van rides and appre-

ciation for the social room was the best.” Norb Schlecty: “Had him for a homeroom teacher and as an ag teacher with FFA. Always admired him; he was a goodhearted person, and we all counted him as a friend as well.” Scott Detling: “Mr. K cared about kids, for sure!” Gary Knick: “Mr. K was one of my favorite teachers. He taught me a lot and through his teachings and travel experiences really helped me mature as a person.” Steph Helmke: “I’ve known him all of my life and I most remember him at all the football games as the announcer. The games weren’t the same when he stopped doing them.” Cleo Stump: “The greatest man I’ve ever known. Many kind words and advice over the years. My adopted FFA dad. Though I was from MV, we all bled Blue and Gold.” Alan Gessler: “You know you’ve reached the top as

Jerry Koverman

an educator, when you not only have the respect of your own students, but the respect of students from other chapters I attended Greenville and Mr. K was an awesome adviser!” Jesse Peters: “A teacher, a friend, a mentor, a role model, a leader! Those are only a couple titles he ﬁlled in my eyes. He was a rock in the community! We love him too.” Betty Burnﬁeld: “Jerry was a great man...always kept things going with 4th of July and always helped me for many years with my Breakfast with Santa…sure gonna miss him.”

Short is extraordinary at Wayne HealthCare GREENVILLE – During Hospital Week in May, Tammy Short, RN in the Special Beginnings department was surprised by hospital staff with the DAISY Award recognition. “Tammy is an extraordinary nurse. She goes above and beyond to care for her patients,” said Lindsey Clark, registered nurse and employee who nominated Tammy for the award. After receiving the award, Short shared her joy of being selected and said, “I go above and beyond because our patients are worth it. They have conﬁdence in us and we take care of them to the best of our ability. I want them to feel secure and know that I will do everything I can to take care of them.” The award is made in partnership with the national DAISY Foundation, American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE) and Wayne HealthCare. Wayne HealthCare recognizes nurses semi-annually for the DAISY Award. Short, of Arcanum, has been with WHC for three years and has been a great asset to the department. Short said, “I don’t do what I do for recognition. I just enjoy taking care of my patients the way I would want to be taken care of. I love being a nurse!” She began working as an OB Tech at the hospital in 2015 and became a registered nurse a year later. “As a nurse working in Special Beginnings you get to provide a different kind of experience for patients and their families. You get to know the entire family as a unit,” said Short. She added that she loves working at Wayne HealthCare and hopes more people will have their babies here.” As a DAISY Award recipient, Short received a certiﬁcate, DAISY Award pin, advanced educational

opportunities and a handcarved stone sculpture entitled A Healer’s Touch from the DAISY Foundation. She also received special WHC gifts to recognize her for the award. Kim Freeman, vice president of Patient Care Services, shared that Tammy’s name continues to show up on Press Ganey surveys and the patients love her. “She is a great nurse who provides excellent patient care.” The DAISY award winner must meet the following criteria: Dedicated to patient

care and satisfaction; Attitude remains positive and demonstrates professionalism in the workplace; Interested in the needs of the patient and family; Stands for and demonstrates the caring ideals, mission and values of WHC; and Yearly evaluation is in good standing. If you would like to nominate an extraordinary nurse at Wayne HealthCare, ask for a nomination form the next time you’re at the hospital or contact Freeman at (937) 547-5719.

Local funeral home celebrates 80 years ELDORADO – Bussard Barnes Vaniman Funeral Home, 311 N. Main St., Eldorado, is celebrating 80 years of service. An open house will be held Sunday, July 22, 1–4 p.m. The funeral home was established by Harry L. Bussard in 1938, and continues under the direction of his daughter Carolyn Jill Vaniman. In 1906, Harry E. Fulkerson, a local resident, obtained his funeral director and embalmer license. It was his daughter, Wanda Fulkerson, who would later become Mrs. Harry Bussard, thus joining two families in the same occupation. You will be able to see the 111-year-old wedding dress which was worn by Mrs. Bussard’s mother when she mar-

ried Mr. Fulkerson. In 1944, Bussard purchased a small section of land on the corner of West Main Cross and Maple Street, and built the Eldorado Ice Cream Company (currently the restaurant SUDS). In addition to operating the funeral home, he began making ELDORA ICE CREAM, and soon opened a small restaurant. Years later, the ice cream business was sold to Wayne Dairy in Richmond, Ind. To honor the 74th year of this establishment, the refreshments at the open house will be ice cream & pie. Ice cream will be 5-cents per dip, and pie at 15-cents per slice; the price in 1944. All money collected will be given to the Monroe Township Food Bank.

5K helps fund suicide prevention efforts WEST MILTON – In August of 2015 an area family lost their son, Bryce, when took his life. The family had just dropped their daughter off at college and came home to a parent’s worst nightmare. Without consulting them, Bryce had stopped taking his anti-anxiety medication which misled him in his judgments. After Bryce died there were three teens who took their life in surrounding school districts within a six-month time span. This gut wrenching pain is something no parent, sibling, grandparent, cousin, or friend should ever have to experience. For this reason, the fam-

ily started a non-proﬁt, Free the Mind/Anchor the Soul, Inc., which is committed to breaking the stigma on mental health by bringing awareness through their annual 5K, community involvement and supporting educational efforts to equip youth, and those working directly with them, in suicide prevention and promoting mental health awareness. Help them raise funds to break the stigma on mental health, and promote suicide prevention. A walk/run is planned for July 4 and starts at 9 a.m. at 1 Wright Road, West Milton.

3. Sun- Limit your exposure to the sun, especially from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when the sun is typically strongest. 4. Avoid tanning beds. 5.

Versailles honored for Electric Reliability VERSAILLES – The Village of Versailles has received national recognition for achieving exceptional electric reliability in 2017. The recognition comes from the American Public Power Association (www.PublicPower.org), a trade group that represents more than 2,000 not-forproﬁt, community-owned electric utilities. The Village of Versailles owns and operates its own municipal electric system serving 1,885 customers not only in the Village, but outlying areas of Wayne, Patterson, and Adams Townships in Darke County. “This recognition helps demonstrate public power’s commitment to reliable electric service,” said

the Association’s Senior Vice President of Engineering Services, Michael Hyland. “We are proud to receive this recognition. It is a testament to the hard work of all our staff to ensure that the power remains on for all our customers,” said Kyle Francis, utilities superintendent with the Village of Versailles. “The Village strives each and every day to provide and maintain the most reliable electric service to each and every customer.” For 2017, the Village of Versailles had a System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) average of 59.7758 minutes, with an Average Service Availability (ASAI) of 99.9886%.

another electric reliability indicator representing the percentage of time that a customer maintains power. For more information on the Village of Versailles Electric Utilities and its commitment to reliability, visit www.versaillesohio. cc.

New Madison building nominated for register COLUMBUS – Members of the Ohio Historic Site Preservation Advisory Board recently voted to recommend that nominations for nine properties in Ohio be forwarded to the Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places for her consideration. Included in this consideration is the New Madi-

son/Darke County Knights of Pythias Lodge Hall, 118 E. Washington St. Since 1936, local Masons have met in this two-story classical-style building of red brick with limestone detail. Built in 1904, it has served as a local center of social activity and entertainment ever since, ﬁrst as an opera house and meeting

hall for the local Knights of Pythias and their auxiliary, the Pythian Sisters, then for Fort Black Lodge #413 Free and Accepted Masons, and Fort Black Chapter No. 336, Order of the Eastern Star. If the Keeper agrees that the properties meet the criteria for listing, they will be added to the National Register of Historic Places. Decisions from the Keeper are expected in about 90 days. National Register listing often raises community awareness of a property. However, listing does not obligate owners to repair or improve their properties and does not prevent them from remodeling, altering, selling or even demolishing them if they choose to do so. Owners or long-term tenants who rehabilitate income-producing properties listed in the National Register can qualify for a 20 percent federal income

Miami Valley Hospital North debuts July 23 ENGLEWOOD – New services. New name. Same friendly faces. Since 1995, Good Samaritan North Health Center has served the health care needs of the community. On July 23, the site at 9000 N. Main St., Englewood will change its name to Miami Valley Hospital North, becoming part of Miami Valley Hospital. Other sites currently bearing the Good Samaritan Hospital name also will transition to Miami Valley Hospital and will undergo similar changes in name on July 23. The same quality care and services that local residents have come to expect will continue, and new services will be available. For the ﬁrst time, the site will offer inpatient beds – a total of 46 private rooms for

short-stay inpatient and observation care, including four high-acuity beds. Patients at Miami Valley Hospital North can access advanced, integrated services ranging from nonoperative medical treatment to inpatient surgical intervention. The site will have a dedicated facility for joint and spine care and is also slated to open a cardiac catheterization lab in early fall 2018. The site will offer 82,000 additional square feet as well as expanded patient and visitor parking. “In addition to all the services currently offered at Good Samaritan North Health Center, a more comprehensive array of services will be offered at Miami Valley Hospital North,” said Mike Mai-

berger, president of Miami Valley Hospital and executive vice president and chief operating ofﬁcer of Premier Health. “We’ve been humbled by the tremendous support we’ve received from the community, and in return, we’re pleased to be taking care to a higher level at this site.” The design of the expansion complements the existing outpatient services at this location to meet the health care needs of the community. An open house for the public will be held from 2-4 p.m. on Saturday, July 21. Food, fun and prizes will be included. Visitors should enter the campus by turning onto Heathcliff Road from North Main Street, then taking the second entrance on the left.

tax credit if the work they do follows the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, guidelines used nationwide for repairs and alterations to historic buildings. A similar 25 percent state income tax credit is also offered through the Ohio Development Services Agency, with assistance provided by the Ohio History Connection’s State Historic Preservation Ofﬁce and the Ohio Department of Taxation.

The Behavioral Health and Wellness center is excited to host Dr. Heather Pappas, PT, DPT, Dr. Kate Poeppelman, PT, DPT, and Dr. Sarah Osterloh PT, DPT from Wayne Healthcare on Monday, July 9, at 5:30 p.m., as they discuss “Dry Needling.” Dry needling involves use of needles which are very small in diameter and therefore ﬂexible. The needles are inserted into the skin, often with minimal to no discomfort on insertion. Nothing is injected; the needle does the work by entering the muscle and releasing tight, shortened portions in order to return the tissue to its normal state. This also helps to improve communication with the brain and spinal cord, which restores the normal chemical make-up within the muscle. These changes assist in speeding up the healing process, relieving pain, restoring strength, and improving range of motion. Dry needling is dif-

ferent from traditional Chinese Acupuncture mostly due to the theories driving treatment. Dry needling typically follows western medical principals more closely and can be practiced by multiple healthcare practitioners. Patients suffering from headaches, joint pain, muscle tightness/ soreness, weakness, and post-operative patients may beneﬁt be appropriate for dry needling treatment. The free program will be held at the Behavioral Health and Wellness Center, 1101 Jackson St., Greenville (The Reid Medical Building next to Family Health). A light meal will be provided, and a drawing for door prizes. Please contact the Behavioral Health and Wellness Center at (937) 5472319 with questions and/ or if you are interested in attending. Reservations are not required to attend, but are appreciated to provide adequate seating and materials.
