THE EARLY BIRD NEWSPAPER Hearings set for proposed Darke County license tax

DARKE COUNTY – The Darke County Commission has set two public hearing dates to gather input concerning a proposed license tax. County residents would be asked to pay a $10 fee when renewing or purchasing vehicle plates/stickers. The tax would go into effect in January 2018, said

John Cook, county business administrator. Monies collected would go to the county engineer, townships and villages for road and bridge upkeep. None of the money would go in the county’s general fund, said Commissioner Mike Rhoades, who also noted Darke County was among the very few across the state not already collecting such a tax. Dates for the hearings will be 2 p.m. July 18 and 6

p.m. July 27. Both hearings will be held in the county administrative building. “This is a positive step,” said Jim Surber, Darke County Engineer, calling the decision to place a tax on license fees was a “unilateral” decision on the commission’s part. “They did that on their own,” Surber said about the proposed tax increase. “This is the ﬁrst time since 1992 the board of commission has helped the county’s roads and bridges by increasing revenue. All other actions have been the opposite and have diluted revenue” for road and bridge construction and repair, Surber said. Most surrounding counties have already placed a tax on license fees, includ-

ing Mercer, Miami and Montgomery, Surber explained. Preble County has yet to follow suit. Surber also said he had to “agree to fund and perform the reconstruction of Chase Road” at the south end of the Darke County Airport as part of receiving monies if the proposed tax increase is approved. The estimated cost for Chase Road, Surber said, will be between $700,000 and $900,000. Work would begin next year, even though the tax would not go into effect until 2018, and it would be another couple years before Surber’s budget would beneﬁt. Surber said he would not allow the Chase Road project to “inhibit” other county road or bridge proj-

ects and would use “reserve funds for catastrophic occurrences” to pay for the work. The Darke County Airport has been one of commission’s top projects. Plans call to increase the length of the runway, which would permanently close Old 242. Chase Road, now only 15 feet wide, Surber said, would be developed to withstand additional trafﬁc around the airport. According to Surber, the county’s estimated annual receipts with the tax increase would be $457,600. The city of Greenville would see approximately $33,700 annually, with $27,300 being divided among the county’s 20 villages and $56,166 going to the county’s 20 townships.

The villages and townships would not see the amounts divided equally, Surber said, but would benefit according to need. “We have more miles of road and more bridges that any Ohio county – 68 percent more responsibility with 8 percent less funding than any other county in Ohio,” Surber explained. Surber also mentioned that the county had seen a decrease in both gas tax and sales receipts for newly purchased vehicles, citing more fuel efficient and electric cars as the reason for the decline. “What I want people to understand is that this is a positive step. The first in 24 years,” he said, for Darke County’s roads.

McDermitt takes ‘Ride Home’ after 25 years with the Greenville Fire Dept. CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Assistant Chief David McDermitt took the traditional “Ride Home” Thursday as he officially retired from the Greenville Fire Department after 25 years of service. McDermitt began his career with Greenville FD on June 3, 1991. As he made his way through the ranks within the department, he became Assistant Chief in December 2002. “He joined the department the same day I became captain and he was assigned to my shift not too long after that,” Chief Mark Wolf explained. “I remember a structure fire on the 300 block of Harrison Ave. where we were short staffed and then ‘firefighter McDermitt’ and I went in and took a real beating, but were able to get the fire out and saved it from spreading to other houses.” “It has been an honor working with him for the past 14 years he has been Assistant Chief,” Wolf continued. “He has really made a name for himself statewide as a Fire Code Official. In fact, he was recognized as the Fire Official of the Year not that long ago which speaks volumes as to his

f s o taff r o S oct on 2 D logy dio Au Dr. Lucille P. Hosfeld CCC-A

extensive ability and knowledge of the fire codes.” Before joining the Greenville Fire Department, McDermitt started his firefighting career as a volunteer in 1984 with the West Manchester Fire Department before moving to the City of Eaton Fire Department – where he remained until joining Greenville. Prior to becoming a firefighter, McDermitt was a journeyman electrician. Thursday’s retirement was bitter-sweet for McDermitt, stating he will miss all the great people he works with, but at the same time looks forward to upgrading a recently purchased ‘retirement home’ and spending lots of time in the woods as fall approaches. “I’m so proud of the department I served! These guys are constant professionals that do anything to get the job done and get it done right,” said McDermitt. “We have a young department, but I have confidence in the captains and the other officers to help mold the firefighters coming in to really benefit the citizens of Greenville.” The vacancy for Assistant Chief is expected to be filled following a civil service test process in August, according to Chief Wolf.

in April 1991. Water Street cemetery was one of Greenville’s earliest burial grounds and included remains of veterans serving in the War of 1812 and the Civil War. As early as the 1850s, the cemetery had become an eyesore. A local newspaper, the Greenville Telegraph, published an editorial calling the cemetery the “most God-forsaken looking Burial Ground ever beheld.” The editorial asked “Will not some old generous hearted citizen start a subscription for the purpose of renovating it?” Through the ensuing years, several attempts were made to clean up the area. But over time, many of the headstones had fallen and were stacked up in a corner of the cemetery, according to an article published in The Early Bird in 1999. Some stones were hauled away. Stories spread about stones being used as parts of city sidewalks, doorsteps or used as a base for a garbage can. Stones also were found in Greenville Creek. In 1947, the cemetery was converted into a permanent meeting place for Boy Scout troops. And

in 1972, the Fort Greene Ville Chapter of the DAR attempted to relocate original stones along the west side of the cemetery. Other groups involved in the recovery of the stones and eventual wall project included the city of Greenville and the Treaty of Greene Ville Bicentennial Commission, as well as numerous local historians and residents. Nixon said he became interested in helping Magoto and was instrumental in retrieving several headstones from Greenville Creek. “There was a big ravine at the site,” Nixon explained. The thought was that some of the headstones were at the bottom of the ravine. Working for DP&L at the time, Nixon said they let him borrow some equipment to see if he could dig out any stones. “Instead of them being at the bottom of the ravine, they were in the creek.” The idea to use the stones to erect a memorial wall was presented to the Greenville Park Board. But the idea was at ﬁrst rejected. The retrieved stones were stored and Magato went about researching the names and dates remain-

ing on the old sandstone pieces. Nixon also remembers Magoto giving him an antique tool to assist with digging the markers out of the creek. “Florence gave me that tool. We never identiﬁed what it was called. I still have that antique.” Nixon said there are still Water Street Cemetery headstones in the Greenville Creek. When asked if he recalls how they ended up in the water, Nixon said the cemetery was not thought of very highly and a local businessman “who built a home for the Girl Scouts” at the Greenville Park, “felt like he should do something for the Boy Scouts” so he came up with the idea to “bulldoze everything in the cemetery.” On Memorial Day, May 31, 1999, the Treaty of Greene Ville Bicentennial Commission conducted a dedication of the Water Street Cemetery Wall, honoring those who had dedicated their time to preserve the stones and build the wall. “We put 10 years of work into that,” Nixon said. Anyone interested more about the wall may contact the city parks department at 548-2315.

GREENVILLE – During the past 19 years, visitors to the Water Street Cemetery Wall have noticed American flags placed near the wall every Memorial Day. The memorial contains headstones from Greenville’s original Water Street Cemetery and includes some from the graves of the area’s earliest settlers, many who were veterans. Bob Nixon, a Greenville resident who worked for nearly 10 years on the Cemetery Wall project, is wondering who will step up to take on that responsibility, now that his friend and project co-worker, Florence Magoto, has died. “I don’t know who’s going to do that now,” Nixon said recently. “Florence got markers for the veterans and flags every year.” Ms. Magoto, a local businesswoman and historian, passed away May 28 of this year at age 94. She was instrumental in many of Greenville and Darke County’s historic projects, including donating the Lansdowne Memorial Monument on the Garst Museum grounds and donating flag poles and memorial stones at the original site of Abbottsville Cemetery and the Pioneer Cemetery in Ft. Jefferson. Ms. Magoto owned the Red Barn Antique Shop in Greenville Now part of Greenville Parks Department, the Water Street Cemetery Wall project, Nixon said, was dedicated in 1999. “It took about 10 years to get the project from start to finish,” said Nixon, who officially became involved

GREENVILLE – Court staff, Sheriff Deputies and Adult Probation Officers assisted in calming down a disgruntled inmate after receiving a prison sentence Thursday morning in the Darke County Courthouse. Twenty-year-old Quentin G. Brame lost control after receiving a two year prison sentence for an August 2015 assault of a former girlfriend in Union City, Ohio. “I am terrified of going to prison,” Brame told Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein during sentencing. “I know I will be forced to fight or I will get beat up and I’m tired of fighting and being angry. I am afraid if I do go to prison…it will just make things worse.” According to the indictment, Brame was charged

Motorcycle-semi crash turns fatal GREENVILLE TWP – On Wednesday morning, a motorcycle driver was killed after colliding with a semi on State Route 121 North, just outside of Greenville. The crash occurred at approximately 7:20 a.m. at the onramp from State Route 121 to US 127. Preliminary investigation revealed that David Milligan (45), of Greenville, was travelling north on State Route 121 on a 2006 Harley Davidson motorcycle. Roger Evans (56), of Bellefontaine, was traveling south on State Route 121 in a 2007 Volvo semi truck with a trailer. The semi turned into the path of the northbound motorcycle as he attempted to turn left onto the ramp for U.S. Route 127. Mr. Milligan struck the semi and succumbed to his injuries at the scene. Mr. Milligan’s helmet use is unknown at this time. This was the second fatal accident investigated by Darke County Deputies in 24

hours and marks the third fatal accident for the year. The fuel spill required extensive cleanup…shutting down State Route 121 from Jaysville-St. Johns Road to Russ Road for several hours. Chief Deputy Mark Whittaker, of the Darke County Sheriff’s Office, asks that everyone be vigilant and remember road safety while traveling – especially this upcoming holiday weekend. The crash scene is being reconstructed and the investigation is ongoing. Additional details will be released as they become available. Along with Darke County Sheriff’s Deputies, Greenville Township Fire Department, Greenville Township Rescue, Ohio State Highway Patrol Motor Carrier Enforcement, Darke County Coroners Office and Darke County Sheriff’s Office Accident Reconstruction Team responded to the scene.

with Felonious Assault (F2) in which he later pleaded guilty to on June 8. He was charged after admitting to assaulting his former girlfriend when she spit on him during a verbal altercation on Aug. 31, 2015. According to the investigation, Brame knocked her down and stomped the victim in the stomach, thinking she was pregnant. She was airlifted to the hospital for her injuries sustained during the attack. A second woman, who attempted to intervene, was also assaulted and suffered a broken leg – according to Assistant Prosecutor Deborah S. Quigley. A second assault charge was not ﬁled as part of plea negotiations. “Mr. Brame has violent tendencies and the state

After attempting to resist arrest, he reportedly assaulted the officer, was charged and later convicted in an Indiana court. He was later transported to Darke County after being released from the Randolph County jail. “There is no doubt that Quentin has mental health issues and he definitely has anger problems,” noted Brame’s defense attorney David A. Rohrer. “I agree his actions were over the top and he will agree they were over the top. I would like to see him get help with these issues in the MonDay program.” Agreeing with the state, Judge Hein imposed the recommended two year prison term, with 74 days of jail credit. Brame will be placed on a mandatory 36 month post release control following his incarceration. Following the short stand-off in the holding cell with authorities Thursday morning, Brame was transported back to the Darke County Criminal Justice Center where he reportedly bit one deputy and spit on another. Additional charges are pending review for the incident by the Darke County Prosecutor’s Office.

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT

Police pick up several wanted on outstanding warrants Wanted person On June 23 an ofďŹ cer observed a female he recognized as Lisa Paul walking in the roadway on East Main Street near St. Clair Street. The ofďŹ cer had prior knowledge that Paul had an active felony warrant from Darke County Common Pleas court for possession of cocaine. The ofďŹ cer made contact with Paul and the warrant was conďŹ rmed through dispatch. She was placed under arrest and transported to the Darke County Jail where she was incarcerated without bond. On June 23 an ofďŹ cer observed Zackary Wilkerson walking in a parking lot in the 500 block of Martin Street. The ofďŹ cer had prior knowledge of Wilkerson having an active felony warrant for his arrest for a probation violation through Darke County Common Pleas Court. After conďŹ rming the warrant, the ofďŹ cer made contact with Wilkerson. While being checked for weapons, Wilkerson advised the ofďŹ cer that he had a marijuana pipe in his pants pocket. The pipe was removed and placed into the property room of the police department. Wilkerson was transported to the county jail and incarcerated for the warrant with no bond. Wilkerson also was served a misdemeanor citation in reference to another case. On June 27 an ofďŹ cer was dispatched to the 300 block of 13th Street to check on a warrant suspect, Dane Young. Young was located at the residence and arrested for two warrants â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one for an original charge of not serving 15 days in jail for a charge of ďŹ ctitious tags and the other for a child support warrant in Preble County with no bond. Young was taken to the Greenville Police Department until room was available at the county jail. He was then transported to the Preble County jail. On June 27 two ofďŹ cers and a detective went to a residence in the 100 block of Sweitzer Street on a warrant check for William Jason Evans, who had a felony indictment warrant from Montgomery County for aggravated robbery. The warrant was received from a detective from the Montgomery County sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ ce and conďŹ rmed. Evans was located in the residence and taken into custody. There is no bond on the warrant. Evans was transported to the Darke County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ ce to await pick up by Montgomery County. On June 30, while at Speedway on Sweitzer Street, an ofďŹ cer observed Tonie Long working inside the business. Long had an active warrant for driving under suspension and expired registration through the Greenville Police Department. The ofďŹ cer conďŹ rmed the warrant, arrested Long and transported her to the Darke County Jail where she was incarcerated with a $1,525 bond. DUI On June 27 an ofďŹ cer conducted a trafďŹ c stop on Sweitzer Street after witnessing the female driver swing her arms in the air and act erratically while operating the vehicle. The

ofďŹ cer found the vehicle registration for the car the suspect was driving was the registration for another vehicle. Upon contact with the driver, Jessica Colvin, she began shouting and looking through the consoles in the vehicle. The ofďŹ cer detected a moderate odor of an alcoholic beverage from inside the vehicle. The ofďŹ cer explained to Colvin why he stopped her and she stated she thought she had switched the plates when she purchased the vehicle she was driving. The ofďŹ cer learned that the defendant purchased the vehicle approximately three months prior then put the plates from the old vehicle onto the vehicle she was currently operating. When asked how much alcohol she had consumed, Colvin said she had one drink, then handed the ofďŹ cer an open can of an alcoholic beverage container, which appeared to be mostly full and cold to the touch. Colvin also told the ofďŹ cer she was currently taking two medications, one which is a narcotic and she continued to talk about things that were not relevant to the situation and continued to show erratic behavior. Colvin was asked to exit the vehicle and agreed to perform ďŹ eld sobriety tests, which according to the report, she completed poorly. She was placed under arrest for OVI and was transported to the Greenville Police Department where she was asked to provide a urine sample. She refused to provide a sample because she said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d taken a â&#x20AC;&#x153;hitâ&#x20AC;? of marijuana a few days prior and had gotten â&#x20AC;&#x153;stoned.â&#x20AC;? She said she did not want results to show in her urine test. She also told ofďŹ cers she was taking a medication not currently prescribed to her. Records show Colvin had a prior OVI conviction in 2012. She was placed under an administrative license suspension then released to Jared Colvin. Disorderly On June 24 police ofďŹ cers received a call from a female in reference to a live-in boyfriend, Michael Abelquist, being intoxicated and disorderly. The victim told ofďŹ cers she was asleep in her bedroom with two children when Abelquist came home intoxicated. She said he ripped the blankets from the bed, waking her and the children. Abelquist also was yelling at the victim and her 18-year-old son. OfďŹ cers warned Abelquist for disorderly and the 18-yearold son left the residence due to Abelquistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior. A while later ofďŹ cers returned to the scene. The victim said Abelquist had been in a bedroom yelling with the television up very loudly. Four children were in the residence at that time and were not able to sleep due to the noise. Upon the ofďŹ cerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival the second time, the ofďŹ cer reported he could also hear the loud television and yelling coming from inside a locked bedroom. The ofďŹ cer asked Abelquist repeatedly to turn the television down, but he became irate and kept yelling. After the ofďŹ cer told Abelquist he would be arrested if he did not comply with the request, he turned

the sound down a little, telling the ofďŹ cer he could â&#x20AC;&#x153;lick his a**.â&#x20AC;? At that point, Abelquist pulled down his pants and underwear to expose his backside to ofďŹ cers. After a brief struggle, ofďŹ cers were able to handcuff Abelquist and arrest him for a 4th degree disorderly for creating a disturbance in the household. He also was charged with resisting arrest. He was taken to the county jail where he was held on $1,050 bond. Harassment On June 20 an ofďŹ cer was dispatched to the 1300 block of Sweitzer in reference to a threat. Upon arrival, the ofďŹ cer spoke with a male resident who said his daughter had been outside playing with a neighbor when another child approached and pulled out a knife, threatening his daughter. After asking the children what happened, ofďŹ cers went to the home of the subject who had been accused of pulling a knife and spoke with his parents. The boy told ofďŹ cers he did not threaten anyone, but the reporting ofďŹ cer determined that the child was acting suspiciously so asked to speak to the child alone. The mother of the boy told police there was a similar incident the week prior and she had taken a knife away from her son. When an ofďŹ cer was speaking with the child alone, outside of the home, another ofďŹ cer came out of the home carrying a blue folding knife, which had been found hidden on top of the cabinets. The knife was taken as property. The juvenile who pulled the knife was charged with menacing. Theft On June 23, ofďŹ cers were dispatched to the 900 block of Gray Avenue on the report of a theft of approximately $200 in coins. The victim, Toni Johnson told the ofďŹ cer a friend had been staying at her residence to babysit. Johnson told the ofďŹ cer sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d heard from other people that the babysitter, Jeannette GrifďŹ n was â&#x20AC;&#x153;bragging to othersâ&#x20AC;? that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d stolen money from Johnson and had not been caught. Johnson said nearly $200 had been taken from her change jar in her bedroom. Johnson said she confronted GrifďŹ n about the theft via text message and GrifďŹ n admitted to taking the money. The ofďŹ cer took screenshots of the messages from Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phone and put them into the case ďŹ le. The ofďŹ cer then made contact with GrifďŹ n and she admitted to stealing $79 from the jar on June 9. She also said she took approximately $65 another time, but could not recall the date. The ofďŹ cer questioned GrifďŹ n about why she took the money. According to the report, GrifďŹ n did not show regret, but laughed and said she took the change to purchase cigarettes, food and beer. GrifďŹ n was issued a citation for theft. Suspicious person On June 24 an ofďŹ cer was dispatched to the 1100 block of Holly Hill in reference to a suspicious male subject walking towards Greenville High School and was drinking a beer. The subject was located by the

ofďŹ cer and continued drinking the beer when the ofďŹ cer told him why heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been dispatched to the area. As the ofďŹ cer exited his cruiser, he witnessed the subject pull another can of beer from his person, open it and start to take a drink. The ofďŹ cer told him to stop and removed the beer from the subjectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possession. The ofďŹ cer asked the subject to identify himself several times and ďŹ nally told the subject he would be arrested if he did not identify himself. The male ďŹ nally said his name was Shawn B. Duplessis. He became verbally combative when told he could not consume alcohol in a public place. Two other ofďŹ cers arrived on the scene. When the reporting ofďŹ cer was at his cruiser to issue a citation, Duplessis fell straight forward onto the pavement, striking his face on the sidewalk. He then began convulsing and appeared to be having a seizure. He ďŹ nally came out of the seizure, telling ofďŹ cers that he suffers from seizures and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d forgotten to take his medication that day. The squad was called to the scene, but Duplessis refused treatment. He was issued a citation for the open container and released. He also 425 Memorial Dr. Greenville, OH 45331

contractors also will “ﬁre up” the HVAC and sprinkler systems, Miller said. Board president Fred Matix questioned why there were so many lights on inside the building during evening and weekend hours when construction crews were not working. Miller explained OSHA rules required construction sites be lit in order to avoid possible injuries in case someone enters work areas. Bill Painter, also with Garman Miller, gave the board a brief update on the progress of the high school parking lot project, which began June 13.

“We will have kids in the school in January,” Miller promised. Miller said work is being completed on the building’s sidewalks and playgrounds. Topsoil is being put down in order for crews to start seeding and landscaping is expected to be completed in two courtyard areas this week. “The back of the building is basically done,” Miller said. “The 5-8 (grade) wing is really moving along.” Wood gym ﬂoors will be laid the third or fourth week of July and lockers have been installed throughout the building.

ON YOUR MIND

READERS WRITE Facts Concerning School Building Dear Editor Here are some interesting and pertinent facts and ﬁgures concerning our largest and most monumental building in Historic Downtown Greenville, Ohio. It is situated between West 4th and West 5th Streets, between Sycamore Street and Central Avenue. Our 1924 Greenville High School Building, designed by William B. Ittner, sits just outside on Elm Street of the main southern entrance to the original Greene Ville as laid out by Maj. General Anthony Wayne in Oct. of 1793. To me it stands as a Centineil or Guard less than 2 blocks from where Wayne in 1795 and Harrison in 1814 held their seminal Treaties, that shaped our Country’s, State’s and local histories, destinies and unfolding future. The school board approached Andrew Carnegie in 1901 for his help in building a library in Greenville. He gave them $25,000 and Henry St. Clair gave another $6,100 and it opened in 1903. When Henry St. Clair died in 1908 he left the school board, $100,000 to build the Memorial Hall. His widow, Ella gave another nearly $40,000 and it opened in 1912. The 1868 West School Building was moved in 1910 to allow the Memorial Hall to be built in the center of the block. After World War I in 1921, in need of a new school, the school board contacted Mr. William B. Ittner of St. Louis, the nation’s premier school architect, described as the most inﬂuential man in school architecture in the United States. A $390,000 school levy was passed in Nov. of 1921 and Mr. Ittner designed a unique Signature and Landmark building, serving with it’s two companions as community symbols of pride. It is said “Ittner revolutionized school design and his buildings provide ties to an era of high educational standards. Ittner’s intelligence, sophistication, intuition, training, and civitas translated high standards into a physical form of grace and rationality. Ittner considered light a building material, not an afterthought. He regarded ventilation as part of the infrastructure of learning. School grounds were carefully, artfully, landscaped. Buildings became the central features of parks for learning. As important as it was to provide emotionally nourishing, and visually stimulating places for children, Ittner believed that the public school must also be an intellectual and physical refuge for adults. It should serve to make intellectual growth a vital part of life. ‘From early childhood into old age. Complete living,’ he called it.” “Education today is a continuous process with the public school serving all ages,” Ittner wrote in Architectural Forum in August, 1922. Ittner regarded his buildings as greenhouses for the intellectual and physical well-being of their constituents. He declared “The complete school environment should be a model for health. To accomplish this desired goal, sanitation, cleanliness, perfect lighting, airiness, and cheerfulness must, of necessity, constitute the eternal, unwritten laws of successful school planning.” William B. Ittner was also a 33 Degree Mason. We as a community should be proud that we have his building as a public inheritance that graces historic Downtown Greenville. It was built as a worthy companion to the Library and Memorial Hall. Let us respect that. Let us not seriously contemplate spending an estimated $1,705,969,39 to erase it from our community. Besides it’s historic value it also has great commercial value. Regarding the results of the Greenville City School survey which was available on their website from November 9, 2013 to November 30, 2014, “Which choice which you prefer for the Junior High Building?” No estimates of cost were given. Results: Keep - 27 votes which equals 18.49% of total votes. Demolish - 119 which equals 81.51% of total votes. The total number of voters in the August 6, 2013, Special Election was 6,002. The total number of registered voters at that time was 15,795. The 119 votes to demolish are only 0.0075% of the registered voters, and just 0.0198% of the actual votes. No one can seriously cite this survey as revealing what our community really desires. Sincerely, Richard Halley ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Still get to see the scenery Dear Editor, I was so glad to read in the Early Bird that Greenville is getting another Pizza place! I was worried that I was going to have to stop driving the scenic country roads, if we were going to get a Frishes or Perkins or O’Charlies and others. But thank goodness I can still see the corn growing, wheat ready to harvest, cattle and other farm life. It’s also good to know it won’t take so long to get my pizza. P.S. I’m told that Greenville isn’t a good area for other “Food Chains.” Then why do I see several Darke County license (19) tags on cars in the parking area? Bob MacKenzie, Greenville

I have to live in Ryan’s World   Ryan’s World

by Nicole Berry The oldest daughter

Hello ladies and gentlemen! This week is gonna be a little different, I know you are use to the regular “Ryan’s World”, where Ryan Berry makes witty and sarcastic remarks about his hilarious and amazing kids and wife. Well this time the tables have turned in favor of his oldest daughter! That’s

DCRW plans meeting GREENVILLE – The Darke County Republican Women will hold their regular monthly meeting on July 11, 6:30 p.m., at the Chestnut Village Center at the Brethren Retirement Community. The theme for the evening is Summer Picnic. Dress is casual. The speaker will be Ben Thaeler of Congressman Warren Davidson’s ofﬁce. Guests are always welcome. Guests coming for dinner should make reservations before noon on July 7 by calling Wavelene at 547-6477 or email wdenniston@woh.rr.com.

right everyone, this is Ryan’s oldest, amazing, talented, wonderful, and most ravishing daughter, Nicole! It’s finally my time to exact my revenge on my dad for all of those lovely stories he has written about me (note the sarcasm). Now it’s time to get to the good stuff, what you all came here for; the embarrassment of Ryan Berry. If you ever want to scare the crap out of my dad, there are two things you can do. One of them is to tell him the chain restaurant CiCi’s Pizza is closing its doors for good. Being one of his favorite places to eat, that is a sure fire way to make him shed many tears mourning the bitter loss of his pizza buffet. The second and more drastic of the two would to be to show him a snake. He is petrified of the little armless reptiles! It isn’t a logical reason that they give him the he-begee-bees, but it’s a pretty funny one! From what he has told me, he was minding his own business cutting grass at his childhood home when a snake unexpectedly slithered into the path of his grass murdering machine. At which point he spread bits of the poor snake across the yard as he screamed like a tween girl at a Jus-

tin Bieber concert. Ever since that day, he has been scared to death of the little beasties. He also has a slight addiction to British soap operas. The show MidSomer Murders is a show with 19 seasons, with seven episodes per season, each episode lasting roughly 90 minutes. Within two weeks he had ﬁnished all 19 seasons. That is over 199 hours of entertainment or 11,970 minutes. Minutes he devoted to his British fetish. Other victims of his obsession would be shows like Broadchurch, Vicar of Dibley, Doc Martin, and Doctor Who. That’s got to be unhealthy. I have an obsession with TV shows like my dad, but I prefer Grey’s Anatomy and American Horror Story! We both have the capacity to polish off a whole season in one night, so I must get that talent from him. Another embarrassing fact about my lovely father is that he is full of hubris, so full it is overﬂowing. (Note from Ryan – Nicole’s editor – I advised against using words that aren’t used every day. She had to tell me what hubris

meant - excessive pride. It is fun to say – hyoo bris.) If the sink has a slight leak that is causing a small puddle to form on the floor you can bet your bottom he will try to fix it. But, he is no handyman; quite the opposite in fact. We say let’s call someone to fix it, to which he replies “No, that’s too expensive! I can fix that for $20,” that response means we will be without water in that sink for two months and once we finally get the water back we can’t use that sink because when we turn on the faucet, a tiny volcanic eruption of lukewarm water sprays all over; not to mention we are now out $200. (Note from Ryan – I don’t know where she gets this “we.” The $200 is not coming out of her pocket.) Needless to say, we can’t use the right side of our kitchen sink much anymore. Thanks Dad… I mean he’s not awful at everything; he is at over level 300 on the game Candy Crush. That’s pretty impressive, or just sad that he has that much free time. But hey, at least he isn’t trying to fix any sinks in that free time.

The Greenville High School Marching Band of Pride leads the Gettysburg Homecoming Parade (Gaylen Blosser photo)

Cardinal Center hosts Gettysburg Homecoming BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GETTYSBURG – The Second Annual Gettysburg Homecoming was highlighted with a 5K race, a parade through town and much more. “We have here on the grounds the pony ride, the bouncy which everything is free,” said Roy Harrison, president of the Cardinal Center. “We have a concession stand which is donations.” Esther (Petersime) Clark served as Grand Marshal of the parade, riding in a convertible driven by Judge Julie Monnin. Clark, a resident of the Brethren Retirement Community in Greenville was honored to be Grand Marshal of the town she grew up in but was not certain what to expect as the time grew close for the parade to begin. “I don’t know what is going to happen,” said Clark, but she did agree it was pretty neat to be riding in the parade. The Cardinal Center sponsored the 2016 Saturday event alone unlike last year when the village helped sponsor the event. “This is our second year and we actually sponsored it completely this year,” said Cardinal Center Vice President Dave Bloomﬁeld. “Before it was with the village. This year the Cardinal Center took it all on.” “It’s building community,” Bloomﬁeld stated. “That’s everything… what it’s about. Getting more people in the community. We are taking care of fund raising to keep the building going, but most importantly we are offering two arts programs during the summer.” “One will have about 45 kids the second year

Spreading the culture of this legacy of this school and people that were part of it.” “Nice facility…nice run,” said 5K first place finisher Andrew Meese of Pitsburg. “It’s nice having a mix between the country roads and the city roads.” Kathy Unger crossed the finish line first for the ladies with an excellent third place overall finish. “It is an awesome run,” said Unger. “It is very nice and a really good training run… and then the country. The country scenery is nice and there is a whole lot of shade in it. That helps too.” Coming in last place was 75-year old Greenville resident and BRC employee Phyllis Buckingham. “I figured I would,” said Buckingham which a chuckle of her last place finish, “but at least I’m doing it.” “I was getting tired,” added Buckingham of the final incline to the finish line but stated she does plan to run the 5K again next year… “If I can.” The Greenville High School Marching Band of Pride under the direction of Erick Von Sas led a well-organized parade through town.

One victim was pronounced dead at the scene, and two others were flown from the scene by CareFlight. “At this time, we are still actively investigating this incident, and we are making sure proper notifications have been made, so we are not releasing the names of the victims involved,” said Chief Cobie Wells. Witnesses advised that a fight had broken out and the suspect had started to flee the scene by backing up in his vehicle erratically and at a high rate of speed. Officers were advised the suspect had struck all three of the pedestrians at this time, and then continued backing until striking St. Mary’s Church. The suspect then fled the scene. The suspect, and his vehicle, were located at 613 1/2 N. Union Street. The suspect was later identified as Ramon Angulo Marin, 36, of Union City, Ind.

GREENVILLE – Darke County Center for the Arts is once again presenting a week-long Missoula Children’s Theatre residency which begins with auditions offering the opportunity for all interested youngsters to try out for a role in a fullscale musical theatre production and concludes with performances starring local students. Auditions for MCT’s Alice in Wonderland will be held Aug. 1 from 10 a.m. until noon; performances are scheduled for Aug. 6 at 3 and 7 p.m. All activities will take place at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville. All students entering grades one through 12 are encouraged to audition for one of the approximately 60 roles available; there is no

charge for participation in this production. Those wanting to try out should arrive by the scheduled starting time and remain for the entire session. Some of the cast members will be asked to stay for the ﬁrst rehearsal which begins 30 minutes after the casting announcement at the end of auditions. Rehearsals continue daily from 10 a.m. until noon and 12:30 until 2:30 p.m. throughout the week. Although not all cast members are needed at every session, those auditioning should have a clear schedule for the entire week. Among the familiar roles to be cast are three Alices of varying sizes, Alice’s sister Margaret, Mad Hatter, March Hare, Queen and King of Hearts, the Knave of Hearts, the Cheshire Cats,

Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee, Dormouse, Mock Turtle, Humpty Dumpty, the Flower Band, Cards, and Lobsters. Assistant Directors will be chosen to assist with technical aspects of the production. According to Ms. Jordan, no advance preparation is required for this group audition, but she reminds youngsters that paying close attention to the MCT Tour Directors’ instructions is of great help to a successful audition. “And a smile never hurts,” the executive director advised. The residency by Missoula Children’s Theatre is made possible by a grant from Darke County Endowment for the Arts. DCCA also receives funding from local businesses, founda-

tions, and the Ohio Arts Council and is supported by membership donations. Tickets to the show cost $5; to reserve tickets for either Saturday performance of Alice in Wonderland or for further details regarding auditions and the production, contact DCCA at 547-0908 or dcca@centerforarts.net.

MARIA STEIN – New in 2016, to align with State of the Heart’s re-branding and expansion, Camp BEARable is now Camp Encourage. Camp will still include all the great services and activities you have come to know and love, just with a new name. Children grieve differently than adults and have special needs to work through their grief and loss. State of the Heart Care provides an important outreach for them – a grief camp for children, called Camp Encourage. The free camp, for kids ages 6-15, will be held July 15-17 at the Spiritual Center of Maria Stein. The camp is a safe environment where children are surrounded by other kids who are experiencing the same feelings they have. Games and fun activities are mixed with dialogue about feelings of loss and grief, and each child is paired with a specially trained adult “buddy.” In addition to helping children cope with an immediate loss, there are numerous long term beneﬁts

for campers. Camp Encourage teaches positive coping skills that children can carry with them through life, such as implementing the coping skills they learned at camp in stressful situations (breathing, talking it out), with new losses they may experience as children and adults, and understanding how to express their emotions in productive and healthy ways. “Campers learn tools for healthy emotional expression,” said Ashlee Carder, camp director. “Instead of turning to destructive methods such as drugs, alcohol or self-harm, children learn how to express their feelings verbally, emotionally, physically and socially.” Parents or guardians often see a positive growth in the child’s grades as well. Children are able to focus on their work as they’re not so consumed with grief and questions. Children sleep in air conditioned facilities and are provided meals and snacks. They participate in a variety of group activities and discussion time. At the end of camp, children go home

with new friends they can talk to and special keepsakes they’ve made over the weekend. If you feel like your child may be interested in attending Camp Encourage, and you would like some more information, please contact Ashlee Carder at 800-4177535 or via email acarder@ stateoftheheartcare.org. Information and registration forms are available at www. stateoftheheartcare.org.

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; After 44 years of service to the Brethren Retirement Community, Jim Rife is retiring as assistant director of maintenance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to miss the people, the residents and employees. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like family,â&#x20AC;? said Rife, who began work at the BRC as the main building and Oak View were just being completed. The BRC held a celebration of retirement in honor of Rifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s years of service on Friday, June 24 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; his last day on the job. During his 44 years of service, Rife said many things had changed as far as facility maintenance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten a lot more technical,â&#x20AC;? he explained, noting

that during his tenure heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d worn â&#x20AC;&#x153;many hats.â&#x20AC;? Dale Musser, BRC Facilities Manager, has worked alongside Rife for 15 years and said he most appreciated Rifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;knowledge of this building.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of knowledge walking out the door today,â&#x20AC;? Musser said. Rife hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too many plans â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yet - for his retirement years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably get another part time job,â&#x20AC;? he said. When asked what his wife Lois thought of his being around the house all day, Rife laughed and said â&#x20AC;&#x153;she hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t said anything yet.â&#x20AC;? The Rifes reside in Greenville and are the parents of three sons, Timothy, who lives in Idaho, Matthew of Greenville and Joseph, who resides in Kansas. They also have two grandchildren.

Greenville BOE discusses hiring second SRO SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Greenville students may notice a new face when they return to school in August. On June 23, Greenville Board of Education brieďŹ&#x201A;y discussed adding a second Resource OfďŹ cer to its staff. Superintendent Doug Fries told board members he had been in contact with the Greenville Police Department about adding another ofďŹ cer. Negotiations on pay will be taking place with the city prior to the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next meeting in July. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city reviewed what they are spending. They feel like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been operating at a loss,â&#x20AC;? Fries said. Currently the SRO contract sets at $32,000 per year, Fries said. Typically, the salary for school resource ofďŹ cers follows the parent police agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pay scale. After a brief discussion, board members gave Fries the go-ahead to discuss an increase in salary for the current SRO and adding an additional ofďŹ cer at the new rate. The new SRO would eventually be located at the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new K-8th grade building. Board members agreed that a second ofďŹ cer would be beneďŹ cial for the school

district. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I continue to believe it is in our best interest to have one at each building,â&#x20AC;? Fries said of the high school and junior high facilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ďŹ&#x201A;oat the extra ofďŹ cer at the other buildings until the move in December.â&#x20AC;? Board members agreed Fries would go back to the city with a suggested $40,000 per year per ofďŹ cer for the ďŹ rst year, raising their salaries to $42,000 for the second year. Following the board meeting, Fries said he thought the SRO pay increase â&#x20AC;&#x153;was a fair dealâ&#x20AC;? and that the school district and city were â&#x20AC;&#x153;working together on the collaborative projectâ&#x20AC;? that would beneďŹ t students. When school is not in session, SRO ofďŹ cers remain on duty with the police department and are paid by the city. The city also assumes beneďŹ t costs for the SRO ofďŹ cers.

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; There is a new choice for specialty coffee in the southern part of Greenville. Brendaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beanery has been serving visitors to downtown Greenville for nearly ďŹ ve years, but now she will also be providing a jolt for coffee drinkers in a second location. Brendaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beanery celebrated the ofďŹ cial opening of its newest shop on July 28 at Wayne HealthCare. Brenda Stump, owner of Brendaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beanery, thought the hospital was a perfect place for a coffee shop and even contacted the administration four years ago, but nothing came to fruition. Last July, she got a call from Jeff Subler, vice president of Support Services at Wayne HealthCare, asking if she was interested in opening a kiosk at the hospital. Stump said the answer was an immediate, â&#x20AC;&#x153;yes.â&#x20AC;? It took a while to get everything in place and equipment ordered, but Brendaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beanery at Wayne HealthCare opened on May 17 and employees, patients and their fami-

lies have welcomed the shop with open arms. Stacey Arnold, store manager, pointed out some of their customers come back two or three times a day. Subler said he was excited to have Stump and her crew at the hospital, but the project turned out to be more than they originally expected. Stump added the hospital has been extremely gracious and has provided them with everything they needed.

By adding the coffee shop, Wayne Deschambeau, president and CEO of Wayne HealthCare, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We responded to the employees. It was their thought to do this.â&#x20AC;? Stump thanked the hospital and staff for their help in making her second location possible. Brendaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beanery at Wayne HealthCare is open Monday through Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Customers will ďŹ nd the same

drinks available at their original location, but unfortunately can only carry a limited food menu. Not only are employees, patients and their families welcome to visit the shop, but anyone who wants to stop in for a great cup of coffee, smoothie or other specialty drink. Deschambeau said they have already had several reports of people dropping by the hospital to get their drinks from Brendaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beanery.

Nicholas said, pointing out that placing 3rd and 11th in national competition is a great accomplishment for the Greenville students.

Apple earned 3rd place during regional competition in Dayton in February. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our school has never gotten past that point,â&#x20AC;? Nicholas said.

Greenville Youth Track Camp a record-setter GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Greenville track camp under the direction of Wave track coach Bill Plessinger had a record 126 fouryear old campers through incoming eighth-graders at Harmon Field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All-time record,â&#x20AC;? said Coach Plessinger of the 126 campers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;104 last year was the record.â&#x20AC;? This was the ďŹ rst year to include the relay race to the Thursday track meet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Next year we are starting a triple jump,â&#x20AC;? Plessinger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to add something new every yearâ&#x20AC;Ś keeps the kids coming back. The relays didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

go too bad. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never done it, so anytime you do something for the ďŹ rst time you just never know what is going to happen.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids loved it and it was fun,â&#x20AC;? added Plessinger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The part I worked on in camp was the exchanges. I was watching the exchanges and they looked great. Our exchanges were really smooth, so that part of the camp they got.â&#x20AC;? The camp saw many young campers showing exceptional speed and agility as the high school leaders encouraged the young athletes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some really good athletes coming up in the near future and that is what part of this camp is about,â&#x20AC;? continued Plessinger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the num-

bers of the camp have gone up my high school track kids have gone upâ&#x20AC;Ś so must be working.â&#x20AC;? Coach Plessinger is quick to give praise to his high school student track â&#x20AC;&#x153;coachesâ&#x20AC;? that help run a well-organized camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I gave out 25 T-shirts to my helpers,â&#x20AC;? said Plessinger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They all want to help. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I could have had any fewer and pulled this off.â&#x20AC;? Coach â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pâ&#x20AC;? believes it is important to not only instruct in the different events, but to make the learning experience enjoyable.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to make it fun,â&#x20AC;? Plessinger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to make it fun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough sport and they got to have some fun.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more about the education of the sport and the only way I can educate, and the only way I can grow the sport is to educate these kids because you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see track on TV,â&#x20AC;? stated Plessinger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a high proďŹ le sport.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we are doing, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just play time,â&#x20AC;? added Plessinger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are actually teaching some

serious track fundamentals to these kids. They are grasping it and they are using it. They translate it to when they run the race.â&#x20AC;? With each year comes a new record number of campers bringing new challenges to Coach Plessinger and his supportive staff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Four years ago I had 50 kids,â&#x20AC;? Plessinger shared.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to do everything completely different now. When it was 50 kids you had six stations. We had ďŹ ve helpersâ&#x20AC;Ś it was easy. The meet was over. We got the awards and the meet all in two hours.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;As it has gotten bigger I had to adjust and get a little smarter and plan a little better,â&#x20AC;? Plessinger said with a smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Next year I expect 150 kids.â&#x20AC;?

Renegades compete in Wood Bat Classic HUBER HEIGHTS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The RDR Renegades 11U travel team participated in the 7th Annual Wooden Bat Classic in Huber Heights last weekend. The team ďŹ nished as tourney runner-up, behind ďŹ st place Vandalia Stealth. In pool play on Saturday, the Renegades defeated Vandalia Stealth 4-2 and Greenville Sluggers by a score of 6-4. Coach Travis Call was pleased with the effort of the kids. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got some really good pitching in both games and defensively I thought we played great. Vandalia was a huge boost being they are a upper division team and we used some clutch hitting to beat

Greenville in a come from behind win. Winning both games on Saturday put us in good shape going into Sunday as the top seed,â&#x20AC;? he explained. Sunday started the single elimination tourney, as the Renegades opened beating the Kettering Bullets 10-2 to reach the ďŹ nals. In a rematch from Saturday, the team came up short as they fell 5-1 to the Stealth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We put ourselves in great position drawing a bye and winning our ďŹ rst game on Sunday but we just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come up with any clutch hits.

some good contact just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ďŹ nd any holes. All in all our kids really enjoyed the weekend and using wooden bats. I think it made them feel like big Leaguers..

UNION CITY, Ind. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; After run-ruling Monroe Central Monday and with a comeback win against Delta Wednesday, the Union City Indians advanced to the Pony League semiďŹ nal game. Against Delta, the Indians were held scoreless in the ďŹ rst two innings of play and still trailed Delta 3-2 heading into the bottom of the ďŹ fth. The Indiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bats ďŹ nally came to life as UC took the lead and then some â&#x20AC;&#x201C; going up 7-3 heading into the sixth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve kinda been in a slump and this is the ďŹ rst time I got some hits in a few gamesâ&#x20AC;Śit felt good,â&#x20AC;? said UC shortstop Zac Longfellow â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who had a couple big RBI hits for the Indians. In his second straight game on the mound for Union City, Nick Wells and another solid performance

by the Indian defense held off Delta to claim the win by a ďŹ nal score of 9-3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am just glad I could keep the pitches under control and not let them get many runs,â&#x20AC;? pitcher Nick Wells added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always got that one good inning where we come out and light it up!â&#x20AC;? The Indians are now (13-5) on the season and will travel to Wapahani High School for a semiďŹ nal game with Alexandria on Saturday at Noon. If they win, the Indians will turnaround and play for the Pony League Tournament Championship at 3 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just so proud of these boys!

PIQUA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Greenville Legion Post 140 used small ball in comeback fashion to defeat Piqua Post 184 on the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play pretty, giving up runs in the 7th and 9th, letting the tying run on third with 3 straight errors, but these boys came to play,â&#x20AC;? said Greenville Post 140 Coach Dr. Thomas Martinez. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I walked out in the 9th with 2 outs and a runner on 3rd, the inďŹ eld looked at me with conďŹ dence and said, we got this one coach!â&#x20AC;? Taking the ďŹ eld minus many of its regulars had Greenville facing a good Piqua team shorthanded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without our regular starters these boys came together and exceled,â&#x20AC;? said Martinez. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Dane) Wentworth 3 hits, strong defense that kills the opposition rallies. Dane came up big.â&#x20AC;? Tyler Netzley went the ďŹ rst six-innings on the mound for Post 140 giving up four hits while striking out four and giving us three earned runs.

Wave boys scrimmage at Union City BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Greenville traveled to Union City for a Tuesday basketball scrimmage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played good,â&#x20AC;? said Greenville interim Coach Scott Lind. UC coach David Barger, put his Indians through the paces against the Wave. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to get a chance to play somebody who was bigger than us,â&#x20AC;? said Barger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in a summer league where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing against a lot of the same small schools that we will be playing during the regular season.â&#x20AC;? The teams scrimmaged six periods with Greenville winning six quarters to go 6-0 on the night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played without (Isaiah) Gable,â&#x20AC;? said Lind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was good for the boys to show that they cans score, take the ball to the basketâ&#x20AC;Ś not rely on Isaiah.â&#x20AC;? Devin (Hendrix) played great, Trae (Wood) defensively, Aaron (Rich) and Peter Pandy shot the ball well tonight. Aaron (Rich) has worked hard this summer. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anybody on the court that could guard Devin.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marcus Wood played as a freshman,â&#x20AC;? Lind said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want him to see the speed of the game. He has

done fantastic handling the ball.â&#x20AC;? (Noah) VanHorn and Will Coomer have been working hard too.â&#x20AC;? Coach Barger has an excellent group of players for the upcoming season.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a handful of seniors,â&#x20AC;? said Barger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have Isaac Jefferiesâ&#x20AC;Ś is going to be our point guard. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my ďŹ&#x201A;oor general. I have Tyler Thornhill who is a heck of an athlete. He can do some tremendous things. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen Aaron Foster. I can see he has got some skill levels and will do some things for us.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a large junior class,â&#x20AC;? continued Barger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got Zach Bradbury who can really get up and down the ďŹ&#x201A;oor and he can score some buckets for us in bunches. Trever Thompson who is 6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;4â&#x20AC;? can really be an enforcer inside for us. Also have Trevor Spence. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be physical for us on defense and get us some rebounds.â&#x20AC;?

Lady Wave prepare for volleyball camp GREENVILLE – As the summer ﬂies by, many parents are wondering, “How can I get my kids involved in some fun school related activities?” The Greenville Lady Wave Volleyball Team has the answer: summer camp. This year, Greenville Volleyball will be hosting its annual Summer Camp for grades 2-8 from July 25-28. The camp will be held from 9 a.m. to noon (Monday through Thursday) and will cost $25 for one individual, an extra $10 for one additional sibling, and an additional $5 for each additional sibling beyond the ﬁrst. This cost includes a t-shirt for each athlete attending camp. If your child has a sibling that does not fall into the age range listed above (2nd–8th), they are still permitted to attend camp so long as they have an older sibling who will also be attending. Those interested in summer camp can go to greenville.k12.oh.us, click

“athletics” at the bottom of the screen, click volleyball on the left, and lastly click on the PDF form on the top right hand corner. To be guaranteed a tshirt, forms are due July 11. Campers can sign-up on the day that camp begins, however they will not be guaranteed a tshirt. Forms should be sent (Attn: Chelsea Dowd) or hand delivered to the high school athletic ofﬁce (100 Greenwave Way). New Varsity and Junior Varsity coaches, Chelsea Dowd and Janelle Gerlach will be leading the camp alongside their high school volleyball team who will act as coaches to the campers attending. The last day of camp (July 28) will act as a day for campers to show off their new skills to their families in the form of a tournament (prizes will be awarded to the top ﬁnishing teams!) Parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, are all welcome to come and see the progress

their athletes have made throughout the week. Junior Varsity Coach Janelle Gerlach is excited about the prospect of having families involved in the process, “As much as we want to see these girls make progress and fall in love with the game, we also want to make this exciting for the entire family. We hope that this camp acts as a way to get the next generation of young athletes excited and passionate about the sport we love so much.” Both coaches are pleased with the progress the girls have made over the off-season and summer thus far. “Our girls really committed themselves in the off season; playing club, coming to open gyms, and conditioning at Snap Fitness with personal trainer BJ Paulus. Janelle and I really looking forward to taking this program and shaping it into what we know it can become. There’s so much potential

Popular yoga studio has new ownership GREENVILLE – As of June 15 elementsLife is under new ownership. Erica Menke, a yoga student of Emily Jasenski, has agreed to take the reins. Jasenski and her husband, CJ, owned the business for 9 1/2-years. With the change in ownership comes a new name for the business, Natures Heart Yoga. Menke has only been living in Greenville for a short time, but in that time she has experienced a lot of life changes including becoming immersed in the yoga community at elementsLife. She felt this was her next step and for that the Jasenskis are grateful.

Jasenski encourages their elementsLife patrons and persons interested in added yoga to their regimen to begin and/or continue their practice of yoga at the new Natures Heart Yoga. The business opened July 1. Jasenski said, “elementsLife has been our baby, one that we have raised from infancy, and like the parents of grown children there reaches a time when it is time to let go. We, CJ and I, have felt for quite some time this change needed to take place. That someday someone great would step in and continue our legacy, but only do it better.” She continued,

“This is where Erica comes in. She is eager to make changes, bring back some of the old ways, and simply transform the business and make it her own.” Jasenski, although expecting a child soon, is not ready to retire and promises patrons they will still see her teaching yoga. “I plan to continue teaching publicly until the baby arrives and my plan is to return after. My yoga teacher trainings are my passion and I will continue these both on and off site,” she said. She concluded, “Greenville deserves a yoga studio and Erica has plans to take it to new heights!”

AWTHS welcomes Bixler on July 9 Edison hosts Fast Track Friday events ARCANUM – Lyle Bixler will be the guest host to lead us down memory lane July 9, 10 a.m., for the second session of the Arcanum Wayne Trail Historical Society summer Coffee and Conversation series held in the old Grange building at 123 W. George St. Bixler has been a Darke County real estate salesman since 1971, opening his own Arcanum ofﬁce in 1978 - Lyle Bixler Realty. Having grown up on a farm in Monroe Township, Bixler is a graduate of FM High School. In 45 years of business he has seen area demographics change, how

ﬁres and tornados can alter the look of community, and how expectations of home owners change with the times. He has sold homes to three generations of families. All of that leads to some interesting stories about the community. Join them and bring your stories to share. This is a time to relax and reminisce. If you have not had the opportunity to visit the historical society but remember the Arcanum Grange Building you will be pleased to see how the renovations over the past 12 years by society members and friends

have brought back the character and life to the old building. Their library and reference room is open during the summer each Saturday, 9-11:30 a.m. or by appointment, 417-3746. Visit www.arcanumhistoricalsociety.org for list of reference materials, activities and to read our newsletters. For more information contact Barb Deis, 6787832.
