FM hires Burgett as new principal RYAN BERRY
MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com
PITSBURG – After learning Middle/High School Principal Jason Wood would be leaving the Franklin Monroe School District in early June, Superintendent Jeff Patrick and the Board of Education took action to find his replacement. On June 29, at the regular meeting of the board, approval was given to hire PJ Burgett as the new middle/high school principal. Burgett is coming from Bradford where he served in the same position since 2011. He also served as Dean of Students at Bradford in 2010. Prior to coming to the western part of Ohio, Burgett served as the athletic director and teacher at Grove City Christian Schools. He began his teaching career in 2003 at Silverado High School in Victorville, CA where he also served as the head varsity wrestling and freshman football coach. The Ohio State University graduate also holds a Master of Education degree and is taking classes at the University of Dayton in the Superintendent and Curriculum & Instruction Programs. He is expected to begin his tenure at Franklin Monroe on Aug. 1. Patrick praised Burgett and believes he will be a great addition to the district. Board of Education President Dean Thompson
said he sat through the first interview with Burgett and was impressed with him as a candidate. In addition to hiring Burgett, the board approved a recommendation from Patrick to do away with regular classroom fees for 20152016. The superintendent pointed out fees for special clubs, classes and organizations will still be collected. The district usually collects $30,000 to $35,000 in fees each year. Patrick pointed out the district is currently in good shape financially and is able to offer this to parents of students. Patrick is also looking at the possibility of suspending the Permanent Improvement Levy. The collection is set to begin in 2016, but he may bring a resolution to the board later this summer or early fall that would ask the Darke County Auditor to not collect the tax. The levy currently brings in approximately $29,000 to the district and can only be used for improvements to the facility. The decision will be made when the administration is able to determine how the state’s biennium budget will affect the district. Patrick understands it wouldn’t be a lot to give back to the taxpayers, but if the district doesn’t need it residents should get it back. If the administration and board determine the funds will be needed at a later date the levy could be reinstated.
Garrett turns over reins to Van Gorder
GREENVILLE – In 1979, Ron Garrett realized his lifelong dream of owning a Chevrolet dealership. The small town of Ft. Recovery was home to Ron Garrett Chevrolet until 1991 when Barb and Ron Garrett relocated their young family and the dealership to Greenville. Now, after 37 years of living that dream, the Garretts have retired and are passing the torch on to another young entrepreneur with a dream in his heart. On June 30, Ron Garrett Chevrolet, at 1225 E. Russ Road in Greenville, became SVG Chevrolet under the new ownership of Steve Van Gorder. While retiring is never an easy decision, Garrett says, “It’s time. I feel good about turning the reins over to Steve. I believe that he will continue to run the dealership the way that I have with the same goals – keeping the customers happy and satisfied. I am glad that this is a big dream for Steve as my own dream is now coming to an end.” The Garretts are grateful for their many customers and the trust those customers instilled in them over the years. Ron expresses that gratitude by saying, “Thank you for making me who I am and who I was. You gave me my reputation – I just earned it!” The Garretts express hope that their customers will welcome Van Gorder and allow him the opportunity to show them that only the dealership name has changed

– the employees, dreams and goals will remain the same. Van Gorder has been in the auto business for 22 years and in the Dayton area for 20 of those. He is President of SVG Motors in Vandalia, known for making notoriously painful used car purchasing a pleasant and satisfying experience by presenting all of the facts to the customer and enabling them to make an informed and comfortable decision about their purchase. Along with that transparency, SVG Motors also promises great selec-
tion, financing assistance and impeccable customer service. Locals will readily recognize him from his past “Get In Here!” commercials and, most recently, his unique SVG Motors commercials. Owning a small town Chevrolet dealership has been Van Gorder’s dream as long as he can remember. “Acquiring Ron Garrett Chevrolet is beyond exciting. I am walking on air!” said Van Gorder. He plans to continue to run the dealership with the same integrity as the Garretts not only by taking exceptional care of the cus-
tomers but also by being involved in the community. SVG means “Superior Value Guarantee” and is a goal that defines Van Gorder’s style of customer service and satisfaction. Garrett will certainly not be a stranger to the dealership. He will be hands-on during the transition and Van Gorder is excited about tapping into the knowledge and experience that Garrett can obviously offer.

GCSD construction projects on time, under budget BOB ROBINSON
ASSOCIATE EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – Greenville schools officials and the community have much to be pleased about… the high school renovation is “running pretty tight here toward the end of the project” and “it’s just a matter of cleaning up and putting things back together.” Bruce Miller of Garmann/ Miller & Associates reported on both the GHS renovation and the K-8 project during the GCSD Board Work Session June 18. Both projects are within budget. High school work is scheduled for completion by the beginning of the 2015-16 school year. “At K-8 things are going well,” he added. “We’re a couple weeks ahead of schedule and, so far, $600,000 under budget.” On the K-8 site on North Ohio Street both GCSD Superintendent Douglas Fries and Project Superintendent John
Miller concurred, noting that could change depending on the weather. “We’re vulnerable to the weather, always,” Miller said. As of June 23 workers were getting ready to place steel support beams for the roof of the main gymnasium. Each beam is 109 feet long and weighs 9,000 lbs. “They were assembled here on the ground and will be hoisted into place in the next few days,” Miller noted. Fries put the “layout” in perspective as he noted the areas surrounding the focal point (main gym). South of the main gym will be a courtyard area, then the academic wing for grades four through eight. It will have two stories. In front of the gym will be the one-story administrative area. North of the gym will be the media center, music and other areas; north of that will be the kindergarten through third grades. Behind the main gym will be a smaller gymnasium, cafeteria and more. “From one end to the
other is 700 feet,” Fries said. He added the complex will be over 230,000 sq. ft. “I always say it’s just under a quarter million,” Miller said. Fries noted two layers of concrete encompassing the groundwork of the entire project. The first layer is the “footing” with the foundational blocks on top of that. “This goes all the way around the project,” Fries said. “All 230,000 square feet.” He added construction workers are setting sleeves in the foundation for electrical, plumbing and other needs. The mason work (concrete, brick work) is being handled by Precision Concrete; the blocks were set by Wayne Builders. Bruns Construction was the site contractor, did the foundation work, and the windows will be completed by Greenville Glass. Miller said the masons average a 44-man crew with 60-70 people on site on any given day. Construction work continues

ment and demolition for the four buildings being replaced by the K-8 facility. According to Bruce Miller (Garmann/Miller) the estimate is $3,064,893.85. He noted, however, his-
torically it would probably come in for less than that. The state portion of the expense is paid only if demolition is done following the successful move to the new building.

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT
Police respond to disorderly conduct, assault charges and more On June 28 police were dispatched to 213 Euclid Ave. regarding a disorderly male. The victim, Sherry Camacho, told police Todd Magoto was yelling profanities and other inappropriate things to her from his porch, then went to the front of her residence and laid down on the sidewalk. He continued yelling profanities and making inappropriate suggestions. He then allegedly got up and walked back and forth on the sidewalk while continuing to yell in the same manner. After police arrived, Magoto continued doing the same thing; police observed a can of beer next to him on the ground. He had the odor of an alcoholic beverage on him. When police advised the defendant he was being arrested for disorderly conduct he began to walk back to his residence but was stopped by a second ofďŹ cer. Magoto resistesd attempts to handcuff him. He also refused attempts to place him in a cruiser. He had to be pushed from one side and pulled from the other side of the vehicle. Magoto was incarcerated and charged with Disorderly Conduct and Resisting Arrest. ASSAULT On June 25 police were dispatched to South Park regarding
an assault complaint. The victim, Kaleb Bowman, had a nose bleed and a small cut on the inside of his upper lip. Bowman accused Raul Dean of punching him two times in the face. Bowman said he’d gone to 900 Jackson St. to retrieve some clothes from the residence of a friend, Damien Hobbs. His friend’s father gave him permission to enter and get his clothes. He went to a downstairs bedroom and found Dean there. Dean allegedly told him “if he did not leave the room he would beat his - -.â€? Bowman said he left the room but Dean followed and punched him in the nose. He then said “that’s what you get for snitchingâ€? and punched him again. Bowman added Dean pushed him outside trying to get him to ďŹ ght. Bowman refused. A witness said he was in the kitchen and did not see Dean striking Bowman but heard a ‘smack’ sound, saw Bowman’s nose bleeding and Dean pushing him outside trying to get him to ďŹ ght. Dean told police he was upset because Bowman had involved him in a bicycle theft but said he never hit him. Based upon the injuries and statements obtained, Dean was cited for Misdemeanor Assault.

DUI On June 24 police received a call from a female who advised she was driving to the Dairy Queen on Martin Street to help a friend. Her speech was slurred and she stated she had been drinking and knows she shouldn’t be driving but wanted to help her friend. The defendant also mentioned there was a gun involved. Available ofďŹ cers responded to the scene. When an ofďŹ cer arrived he saw the female sitting in her vehicle in the parking lot. Her speech was slurred, her eyes glassy and the ofďŹ cer detected a strong odor of alcoholic beverage coming from her. The friend was located near the intersection of Martin and Ohio streets.

Family seeks answers, justice after death of beloved dog BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com
UNION CITY, Ohio – A Union City family continues to seek answers and justice after the brutal slaying one week ago of their beloved 3-year-old Rottweiler ‘Harley’. According to the family, the horrifying attack happened during the daylight hours inside their fenced in backyard on Main Street in Union City, Ohio. When they reached Harley she was badly beaten and barely clinging to life. The family rushed her to the veterinarian where she tragically later died as a result of her injuries. “Harley was a nonaggressive dog and only barked when she wanted to be petted,� the family told The Early Bird. “We don’t understand how someone could do this?� In addition to being heartbroken, the family is concerned for the community with having someone roaming the streets that can enter a backyard and

The ofďŹ cer pulled alongside the driver and asked if he was okay and why was he stopped at the intersection.

Greenville Pawn and Jewelry told police Douglas Sleppy sold the games to them. They were placed on police hold and will be released to the victim for $12. The defendant told police he took the games because he wasn’t working and couldn’t buy the things he needed. He later allegedly admitted taking and selling the games to buy drugs. He said he needs help with his addiction to heroin but didn’t know where to go. He was issued a citation for theft. DRUGS On June 27 Franklin Brown was seen in the parking lot at the Circle Mart, 100 E.

Brock charged with stabbing man in chest during party BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – A 55-year-old Greenville man is jailed on a $100,000 bond after allegedly stabbing a man during a party in Darke County. Dale Leroy Brock, Jr. is being held on one count of Attempted Murder, a first degree felony, and two counts of Felonious Assault, felonies of the second degree. He allegedly stabbed a man in the chest during a party on May 2. After being rushed to the hospital, the male victim survived the assault that nearly missed his heart. “We were not sure if the victim was going to make it for a couple days after the assault,” Darke County Prosecuting Attorney Kelly Ormsby stated during Tuesday’s video arraignment. “I doesn’t get much more serious than this.” It is said that Brock and the victim in the case had been having problems that led up the the stabbing. The victim was in court during Brock’s

GREENVILLE – A Greenville man is back in jail facing charges of dealing heroin for a second time. Rick Lee Fleetwood, 49, was given a $20,000 bond during a video arraignment hearing Tuesday on two counts of Trafficking Heroin, one fourth and a fifth degree felony. The more severe charge stems from Fleetwood allegedly selling the drug within the vicinity of a school. The offenses are reported to have occurred May 1 and 7 in the City of Greenville. Fleetwood was released from prison earlier this year for a 2013 sentence of 18 months for Trafficking Heroin and Failure to Notify Change of Address as a registered sex offender. He was on the run and listed as one of Darke County Crime Stoppers Most Wanted until a tip helped detectives capture him at a motel room in Englewood, Ohio. According to court records, Fleetwood has been in prison at least six times while residing in Shelby County between 1994 and 201o. Fleetwoood pleaded with Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein to reconsider the $20,000 bond. “I don’t go anywhere and I’m just trying to get my life together,” Fleetwood told the judge. Judge Hein told Fleetwood he may reconsider the bond after the probation department comes out to the jail for an interview and finds out all the details about his current living situation and employment. “Charges of this nature

Edison DCC to add offerings in the fall BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – The Edison Community College Campus will be ramping up its offerings this fall, according to Director Chad Beanblossom. “We’ve added several classes not offered in recent history,” he said, noting some of the classes had never before been offered on the local campus. Among them are Medical Terminology, Pre-Health Sciences, Business Entrepreneurial, Economics, Abnormal Psychology, Social Services, Art
History and more. Some of the courses are typically low enrollment, but necessary for degrees… they will be offered locally as video conferencing options. “This is in addition to our typical course offerings such as composition, communications, humanities, music and all levels of math,” Beanblossom said. “Having these classes here is important because Darke County students don’t have to leave the county to take them. They will transfer anywhere,” he added. One course, communications, is a required course in
many disciplines. It’s also a skill for which local employers have indicated a need. “In a recent discussion with local business and industry leaders, communication was pinpointed as an important needed skill,” Beanblossom said. “We are offering four sections this fall… one of them in the evening.” Edison now offers six Associate’s Degrees, five One-Year Certificates and nine Fast Tracks that can be completed in full by taking Darke County campus offerings, plus online classes. “We offer convenient day, evening and web-flex
classes,” Beanblossom said. “All required student services can be handled here, including admissions, registration and student aid… we can take a student from basic literary needs to an Associate’s degree.” Edison Darke County now has its own Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ EdisonDCC) and, according to Beanblossom the local campus’ own official website is currently under construction. “The Facebook page and the website will be focused on areas of concern and interest to Darke County residents,” he said.

Fourman discusses recycling with Kiwanians BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – So you empty the contents of your plastic washing machine soap container and throw it away… “How long do you think it will take that container to decompose?” Answers ranged from 100 to 500 years… “A thousand years,” said Krista Fourman, Director of Darke County Solid Waste District. She gave a number of examples to members and guests at the Kiwanis of Greenville weekly meeting June 24. It takes 80 years for an aluminum can to decompose; 500 years for a plastic water bottle; 25 years for soup cans; five years for the small single serving orange drink containers… “It takes 10 to 20 years for those Walmart plastic bags to decompose,” she said. “And that’s if they are exposed to the air, not buried.” Educating the public is just one of Fourman’s responsibilities as Director of the Solid Waste District. She has instituted a number of community projects to help keep an environmental focus in the county. One of the better known is the annual Trash Bash. “We filled three 20-yard bins – 18,100 lbs. – with trash,” she said. “While it sickened me to know we had to pick up that much trash, I was glad we were able to get it.” She was also concerned about the needles found and reported to the Sheriff’s Office. She said 40 needles were

found over the trash bash weekend; another 50 were found the Monday afterward. “That makes me angry,” she said. Annual Solid Waste District events and services include recycling appliances, Christmas trees, electronics, paper shredding, tires, household batteries, household hazardous waste and more. These services and more are funded by grants and designation fees from trash haulers. The district’s revenue is about $200,000 a year. Fourman talked about recycle trash pickup which currently occurs in Arcanum and Greenville. “It’s expensive,” she said. “You’re running a second truck… it’s like doing the route twice.” She acknowledged some recycled products, like paper, are more expensive, but added today it was cheaper to recycle aluminum, for instance, than to manufacture it traditionally. Regardless, she said, it is more environmentally friendly to use recycled materials whenever possible.

ON YOUR MIND
READERS WRITE I Have Seen Much
I’m 71 years old and have seen much in this country. I’ve had friends killed in the Vietnam War and I saw how the politicians ran the war and how the population looked down upon the soldiers that returned from the war. I believe this was the first war this country ever lost – no wonder with the politicians calling the shots. I have witnessed desegregation in the South and a poor job in the North. Remember how our great emperor was going to bring this nation together as one? How he was going to give us “hope and change.” He has done that - hope he is removed for the changes he has caused. I have seen how a minority of “1” changed this country from a practicing Christian nation. Since that time I have witnessed the removal of prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, and God from our schools. I’ve seen God kicked out of our government offices and I have seen how our government has become a den of do-nothing liars, and thieves filled with unethical practices. I have seen our school systems and educational competency slide from first among the “civilized” nation to almost out-of-sight. I have seen how honest heroes have been replaced with ones of unethical and illegal behaviors. I have seen many of those who did not want to teach their children about Christ or Godly policies cry because they can no longer control their children-now adults and they wonder where they went wrong. We now have a nation of non-Christians who wonder where God is when something goes wrong. It is easy to answer that question because we have turned God away. When we don’t know Him - He will not know us when we stand before Him. We are seeing the Constitution being trampled, our freedoms and rights taken from us on a daily basis. We are dealing with an emperor who has no idea how to win a war; he has totally caused this country to lose respect of other nations and our allies. He has lied or stalled on every issue that has become before him and has blamed everyone else for the problems he has caused. He is now trying to get a nuclear deal with a country that wants to destroy us and all other nations that do not believe in their focus on “death to all.” Now legal in all 50 states is homosexual marriages - now a law of the land - but it will never be an acceptable law of God. The Bible, who many now do not know, speaks of God’s view; and the laying with the same sex is an abomination and those will not see paradise (heaven). Dave Long Greenville ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Garage Sale Announcement
To those holding garage sales, If you live on 49, 571, and other locations, could you please put better directions when placing your ad in the paper? It’s hard to figure out where you are located at times. 49 can go from Greenville south to Phillipsburg and beyond, or it can go north out of Greenville for many miles. Same goes with 571 going East out of Greenville towards Tipp City, or going West towards Union City. 36 can go East out of Greenville towards Piqua, or West off 127 South over past Palestine. 127 and 121 can go for many miles also... Arcanum Bears Mill Road, can go from almost Arcanum to Stelvedio. So it would be nice to know more information. Most times I come across those kind of ads I skip right on by because one can spend a lot of gas and time out just trying to find you. I think more people would come to your sales if you include more information. It would be greatly appreciated. Hoping to see you at your sale, Tammy Hoff Greenville *EDITOR’S NOTE: Be sure to visit www.bluebagmedia.com for a weekly map of garage sale locations. This service is included when a garage sale advertisement is purchased.

I’m not the nerd I thought I was Ryan’s World by Ryan Berry Managing Editor bluebagmedia.com
Let me give RYAN you BERRY a little quiz. Have youMANAGING ever heard EDITOR of these persons and/or terms – Cosplay, Gamer, Anime, Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, and my favorite, Bronie? (I hang my head in shame at you if you know which ones are terms and which are persons.) Do you quote Gandalf when giving advice? Better yet, do you have a favorite hobbit? Do you have a favorite Doctor or a favorite companion? Do you know who the War Doctor is? If you answered yes to any of these questions – you are a nerd/
geek. I’ll give a little leeway on your status as a nerd if you could answer the last two questions only because I do have my favorites and the War Doctor is cool as are bow ties – nerds will get the reference. I always thought I was a little nerdish or socially awkward, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. Here’s a little advice if you suspect you may be a nerd – visit Comicon or Popcon. At my oldest daughter’s urging, I’ve made two trips this year to Indianapolis for these conventions and I couldn’t be more proud to be who I am. Wearing jeans and a t-shirt to one of these conventions is like wearing shorts and flipflops to a funeral. I almost found myself envying the
Concerned Citizens meet LYNN, Ind. – Concerned Citizens of Randolph County is holding the 10th in a series of town hall style meetings. The purpose of these monthly meetings is to learn what is currently happening at both the local and state levels of government and how this affects your wallet and daily lives. Program moderator is local attorney Dale Arnett. The program includes a question and answer segment
to address your concerns. The topic for the July 6 meeting will be Understanding Real Estate Assessment Process, the responsibility of the Assessor and how to access information. The speaker will be Randolph County Assessor Beverly Fields. The meeting will be held at the Lynn City Building, 103 S. Main St., Lynn, Ind. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the meeting begins at 7 p.m.
Zoning Board meets July 14 ANSONIA – A public hearing has been scheduled by the Ansonia Board of Zoning Appeals to review and consider a variance application concerning a side yard fence height requirement for a property
located at 307 E. Weller St. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. on July 14 in the Ansonia Village Council Chambers, 202 North Main St. All interested parties are welcome to attend.
300 pound guy that was wearing a spandex Power Ranger costume. (Nonnerd note: Power Rangers is a live action superhero show for kids). He looked like a Power Ranger trying to relive his glory days after drinking too much because he couldn’t find a real job when his superhero days were over due to the nagging Achilles injury. As for the terms and people listed above – I only know them because of these conventions and my nerdy daughter. However, I will admit I am a Whovian. I’m a big fan of Doctor Who and I do have a favorite Doctor and companion (David Tennant the 10th Doctor and Billie Piper as Rose) and John Hurt was incredible as the War Doctor in the 50th anniversary special. Let me give you a little run down on some of the others I’ve listed: Cosplay – Nerds dress in costume – anything from superheroes to the characters from Frozen and pretend to be them. It’s kind of like playing cops and robbers on the playground when you were a kid if you would have had a costume. Gamer – These are your video game nerds. Markiplier – This guy has over 8 million subscribers on You Tube. He’s a gamer and gives play by play during the games he plays. He is supposedly witty. I didn’t
think so, but then again, I’m not a nerd. My oldest daughter is completely infatuated by this guy. Jacksepticeye – Similar to Markiplier. He is a You Tube sensation. Fans waited in line for four hours to see both of these guys. I really don’t get it. Anime – Do you remember Speed Racer? The animation is like that. I’ve seen more movement in animation when you take a stack of paper and draw a stick figure walking his dog at the bottom of each page and then flip the pages. Bronie – This is the one I really don’t understand. I’ve been forced to watch a lot of cartoons because when my kids were younger. Because I have daughters there were times when I sit through a few episodes of My Little Pony with them. Here’s the problem, there is a huge teenage/adult (mostly male) following of My Little Pony. One of the voice actors said he was confused by the response when his episode aired for the first time. That very day his email was filled with fans and they weren’t from adolescent girls. He went on to do a documentary on Bronies and found many of them still live at home and are receiving government assistance to survive. Will I go to Comicon or Popcon again? Probably! We all need a self esteem boost from time to time.

Franks leaving Joy FM after 16 years BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com
UNION CITY – After 18 years with Positive Alternative Radio and 16 years with Joy FM, Dan Franks is moving on. Franks will be taking a position with the Christian Children’s Home of Ohio in Wooster. Franks’ role at Joy FM has been more than a voice on the radio or general manager. He has been an active member of the community. The Smithville, Ohio native put actions to the Christian songs he played and gave back to the community in many ways. Franks currently serves on boards at EUM Church and the Darke County Chapter of the American Red Cross, both as chairman, and the Illumination Committee as treasurer. He is past president of the Union City Chamber of Commerce and served on the first board of the Wayne Hospital Foundation. He has also supported Darke County CASA. Franks came to Darke County in 1999 to start Joy FM. He is excited with everything the radio station has been able to accomplish during his tenure as general manager. He is still amazed at the impact Joy FM has had on specific individuals as well as the community as a whole. “We’ve had suicidal people tell us they’ve chosen to continue living after listening to us. We’ve heard from people saying their marriages have been restored. Others have shared about physical, emotional or spiritual healing. Being a part of something that is making that kind of difference in someone’s life is incredibly rewarding,” said Franks
Long sings at local church
GREENVILLE – Come prepared to laugh, cry, sing, and rejoice in the Lord as Randy Long, a fun gospel singer, shares his passion and wonderful testimony of God’s working in his life. Long will appear at Bethel Long Wesleyan Church, 255 Stingley Road, Greenville, on July 18, 6 p.m. Please invite family and friends, as ALL are welcome to attend!
Dan Franks
Franks will continue making a difference in people’s lives as the Advancement Specialist at the Christian Children’s Home of Ohio. He will be raising funds to help children who have suffered in many different ways. He said, “The ministry provides housing, counseling, foster care/ adoption options and various other services.” He is excited to use his fundraising skills to help children dealing with extremely difficult circumstances. As for Joy FM, Franks believes it will continue to make a difference in the community. He said, “Joy FM isn’t about me. The ministry will continue to be actively involved in our community. My hope is that listeners will continue to tune in and support the station. There are very few local, Christian stations anymore and the fact this station has remained on the air is a huge compliment to this community.” He continued, “I will miss all the people who have listened, volunteered and supported Joy FM.” He concluded, “All I can do is say, ‘Thank You.’ It’s been my privilege to serve as the general manager of ‘your local choice for faith, family and fun...Joy FM.’” Franks’ last day with the station is July 31.
GREENVILLE – The West Central Ohio Gourd Patch meeting will be held Thursday, July 9, 7 p.m., at the Darke County Shawnee Prairie Nature Preserve. If you are interested in learning about growing and crafting gourds, please feel free to come. They are always looking for new members.

Reid to become Reid Health on July 27 RICHMOND, Ind. - Reid Hospital & Health Care Services, its numerous service lines and the Reid-owned network of physicians will ofďŹ cially adopt the new name of “Reid Healthâ€? as of July 27, hospital ofďŹ cials have announced. “Reid has truly become an integrated health system as we have changed and adapted to unprecedented challenges being experienced across the nation,â€? said Craig Kinyon, Reid President/CEO. Kinyon said the name change is in line with regional and national trends, noting that Reid will continue as an independent regional health care organization serving East Central Indiana and West Central Ohio. He said the new name, updated logo and rebranding will be ofďŹ cially unveiled on the
hospital’s 110th birthday July 27. The last time Reid adopted a new name was in 1992, when Reid Memorial Hospital became Reid Hospital & Health Care Services because health care had shifted from simply providing hospital care to growing outpatient services that meant patients spending less time in hospitals. Jeevan Sekhar, M.D., Reid oncologist, said the Cancer Center and other Reid service lines have long been providing outreach to the region in satellite ofďŹ ces and through telemedicine. “Reid has already operated as a health system based on how we have delivered our services, so the name change really is more about who we already are.â€? Kinyon said Reid Health better reects the numer-

ous services Reid and Reid Physician Associates offer throughout the region, far beyond in-hospital care. “It also illustrates what our mission is about – health and wellness, not just caring for the sick and injured,� he said. “We want to engage people while they are well and do everything we can to help them maintain their health by encouraging regular well visits, appropriate screenings such as mammograms and other tests designed to catch problems in the early, more treatable stages.� He noted that “Reid� and “Health� are words that have been in the name since 1992, but the new name puts less focus on “hospital� care and is more about helping keep patients well through regular screenings and checkups.

Bradford wins 5th & 6th grade Cross County softball tournament BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – The 2015 Greenville Girls Softball Association (GGSA) four day Cross County Fast Pitch League Tournament for girls entering the fifth and sixth graded stretched out over seven days as heavy rains moved through the area over the weekend. “We played Thursday night,” said Jason Christman tournament director. “Friday and Saturday we got rained out. We tried to get them in Saturday. We worked on the diamonds all day Saturday to get them ready but all that drizzle we had was too much moisture in the ground and soaked the diamonds.” Teams from Darke, Miami, Preble and Montgomery counties made up the field of 21 teams. The Championship game was played Wednesday night with Arcanum earning a spot in the championship game taking a 1-0 win over Milton Union in
the first game of the night. Arcanum jumped out to a 2-0 lead after four-innings of play in the championship contest before Bradford put five runs on the board in the top of the fifth-inning. Arcanum made it a 5-4 game adding two runs in the bottom of the fifth. “Pitching helped out a lot in this game,” said Bradford Coach Dustin Brewer. “Our fielding helped out. The girls stayed in there… kept playing. We had a couple girls get hits tonight that usually don’t hit so it helped out.” Bradford added a run in the top of the sixth while keeping the Arcanum girls off the board in the bottom of the inning to win the Championship game 6-4. “The tournament went real smooth even with the rain delays,” said Christman. “There was some good softball played out here.” Log on to Facebook. com/bluebagnews for exclusive photos from the tournament.

GREENVILLE – Ryan “Rhino” Ramsey, a 2015 Greenville graduate signed to play college football and throw the shotput and discus for Anderson University. “Ryan is one of those kids that is always going to give you everything he’s got,” said Greenville head varsity football coach Aaron Shaffer. “He doesn’t know anything different.” “I have played football ever since I was in the first grade,” said Ramsey. “My childhood want was to go off and play in college. Now that I have a chance to go play I’m excited and ready to go.” Ramsey is the son of Traci and Jerry Hayes and plans to continue his education with a major in Mechanical Engineering. Ramsey gives credit to his high school football coach Aaron Shaffer and believes Shaffer’s experience coaching football at Wittenberg University has made a big impact with many Green Wave players’ success signing to play college football. “That is a huge thing,” Ramsey said. “Coach Shaffer knew the whole process. He knew how to get us ready to go off and
play for numerous kids the last few years to go off and play in college. That is astronomical of how many things he does for this program and how far he has pushed this program to strive in better ways than a lot of people around this town would ever think of.” “Coach Shaffer pushed me last year. He moved me to offensive line,” said Ramsey. “My sophomore year I played defense and he helped me strive more as an offensive lineman on the right side and then this year I move back to the left side. He really pushed me and he said… you need to get this stuff down if you want to go off and play and I told his yes that’s my big dream… to go play.” “Coach Shaffer pushed me every day in practice,” said Ramsey. “He was either yelling at me or sometimes he would throw me to the back of the line and sometimes he told me… Ramsey if you don’t get your head into it… you need to learn this stuff so when the season comes around you’re not questioning things… you should know it. He really pushed me to do that and by the end of the season… mostly through the whole season I knew everything. I didn’t even have to think

about it.” Ramsey earned second team GWOC North honors as an offensive lineman his senior year playing for the Green and White. Ramsey not only gives credit to Coach Shaffer and the Green Wave coaching staff but believes the entire Greenville team had part in his success. “I have a lot of friends on the team. The whole team was great. They were all behind me.” stated Ramsey. Quarterback Clay (Guillozet) helped out a lot. He would yell at me every once in a while like… hey get going. You need to do this… do that.” “I’m really excited for
him and his family for him to have this opportunity to go to Anderson and play some football,” Shaffer said. “Ryan is even a little more special in the fact that he’s going to try two sports. He is going to try and throw. I know he’s really proud of his accomplishments in track. He’s very good at that and with the help of coach Plessinger and Coach Levek… those coaches have done a real nice job of shaping him into a real good thrower. I know if he puts the same kind of effort into his college career he’s going to have success.” See this story at www. bluebagmedia.com for more on Rhino Ramsey.
UCBB hosts Friday Night Lights 9U Softball Tournament BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com
UNION CITY, Ind. The Union City Baseball Boosters (UCBB) hosted the inaugural Friday Night Lights 9U Softball Tournament at the Dylan Williams Memorial Field Saturday, June 27. The three team tournament was originally scheduled for June 12 and 13, but was postponed until June 26 and 27 due to rain. The event looked threatened for a second time when the heavy rain made playing on Friday, June 26 impossible. When the weather finally passed, event organizers worked tirelessly to get ready to go on Saturday night. In game one, the Pink team defeated the Purple team to advance and win a second time over the first seed Blue team for the tournament championship. The tournament play was chosen using the “Lucky Dog Draw” which consisted of Union City Indiana Police Department retired K-9 ‘Dino’ selecting from three team colored dog food bowls on home plate. Dino choose the Blue team as the first seed which let them automatically advance to the final game. In addition to several event sponsors, Union City Indiana Police Chief Cobie Wells volunteered his time to umpire the tournament. “We are just extremely blessed to have a community that is willing to pour so much passion and support into the local
programs to help create an environment that has a positive impact on our youth,” said event coordinator Jesse Thacker. “We will be working hard in the future to provide the best quality program we can for our girls!” The UCBB plan to make this special tournament under the lights an annual event. According to Thacker, the focus and goal is to help build up the program and get the community excited about Union City Softball.

Sports Spotlight: Lady Wave Softball Coach Jerrod Newland GAYLEN BLOSSER
SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – A temporary three month Lady Wave coaching job now stands at an impressive 343-63 record. Greenville varsity softball coach Jerrod Newland’s temporary stint now stands at 13 years at the helm. Born to Greg and Sue Newland, Jerrod proudly calls his father his hero. Newland played basketball, baseball and football at Springfield Shawnee while lettering in all three sports his sophomore year. He chose to focus on basketball his two remaining years and went on to become an All-State basketball player for Shawnee. “I decided I would do
basketball and focus on that,” said Newland. “I was a guy that couldn’t jump and could score 20 points a night. I figured out that wasn’t going to get me too far at the next level.” He went on to play college basketball at Wittenberg University. Newland’s father was the longest tenured employee at Springfield South when the two Springfield schools North and South merged into one school. With the resignation of his assistant coach, G. Newland had a choice to make while Jerrod was attending Wittenberg; to continue as AD and girls’ softball coach or just focus on AD. The younger Newland offered to serve as his father’s assistant softball coach and the rest is history. Jerrod accepted the as-

South winding down decisions had to be made in the young coach’s career. “During my college career I helped my dad coach and everybody wondered if I would take his job,” Newland said. “I didn’t want to follow in those footsteps… kinda wanted to get out on my own.” Newland’s story took an unexpected twist landing the new college graduate in Greenville, Ohio after having been named head softball coach at North Oldham High School in Kentucky. “The Oldham Kentucky School was splitting. There was going to be a North and a South Oldham,” said Newland. “After about nine months and a couple interviews they called back and said Coach Newland you are the head coach at North Oldham High School and we start in the fall.” “I didn’t have to be in Kentucky until the fall when the school opened. They were hiring all the coaches for the new school and when I got accepted, I had a year to kill before I

I think Greg promised me some wings and some Pepsi or something and it was part of the deal. I hop in the car and drive an hour. Now keep in mind, I thought Northmont was a farm school at the time.” “We got off at 49 and it seems like an eternity to get up to Greenville. We show up and I’m just kinda taken aback. In a little bit, the gym was packed and sometimes that’s not the case. Thirteen years ago… Friday night gyms packed and looks like a neat little town. It was like Hoosiers… neat little thing and small town USA and I loved it.” “I talked to Dr. Smith and he still hadn’t filled

I think I brought more stuff in my car than they had in the softball closet. I told the kids the first day we will win 20 games or I will resign.” We got going… started in two weeks. The start of things we had 20 some kids running around.” “Next thing you know we were winning some games.. We beat minster 11-6 and kids and parents were excited. A couple weeks later we were 7-2. We got a core group and then the next thing you know we upset the Centerville team that we shouldn’t beat and went 20-10 and everybody started coming to the games it was fun year one.” “North Oldham kept calling me every couple weeks. I resigned the job.” After 13-years of leading the Lady Wave fastpitch softball team and building a 343-63 record, Newland has no plans of leaving Greenville.

Deadlines nearing for Annie Oakley contests RYAN BERRY
MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com
Excessive rain and cool weather has damaged many of Darke County’s crops, including corn and soybeans, especially where there is freestanding water to contend with. (Clinton Randall photo)
Crop damage is a reality; the unknown is how much BOB ROBINSON
ASSOCIATE EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com
DARKE COUNTY – “Has there been damage? Absolutely. Not a doubt. There is potentially a lot of damage if this weather continues… how much? Too soon to tell.” Jon Everman, Executive Director of the Farm Service Agency, USDA, Greenville, said the prime crops – corn, soybeans, wheat and hay – have been impacted due to the unusually wet spring, plus this year the additional impact of unusually cold weather. “Corn is probably doing better,” he said, “unless it’s in standing water. Soybeans are sitting in saturated soil. Soybeans don’t like saturated soils… they develop a disease called phytophoria, better known as root rot.” He added there was also what they call “Sudden Death Syndrome.” It doesn’t show up until later… the plants just turn brown and die. Everman noted wheat is a huge concern. “It’s ready for harvest,” he said. “If it isn’t harvested it can sprout and keep growing (within itself)… the quality drops.” He noted the fields are soft making it hard to harvest, which is also a problem for livestock producers. The hay needed to feed the livestock can’t be harvested. Wet weather isn’t the only thing farmers are worried about, Everman said. “The worst thing that can happen is once the wet weather is over it gets dry.” Not just dry but really dry. “Plants don’t have the root structure they need.” He mentioned
corn, for instance. If the corn doesn’t have a strong root structure (because of the rain and soft soil) and the county gets some high winds over the summer, the stalks could be blown over. “There are all kinds of issues that come with wet years like this,” Everman said. Denny Riethman, OSU Extension, Mercer County, concurred with Everman saying the weather did have an effect but it was too early to tell the extent of the damage. “Farmers are trying to be patient,” he said. “Bailing the second cutting of hay… the wheat harvest… they just need a window of dry weather to do it.” According to Amanda Bennett, OSU Extension, Miami County, the increased precipitation has affected crops all over the state. “One northern county reported as much as 35 percent of soybeans remain unplanted.” She added soybeans could recover if they’re underwater 48 hours or less, but with potentially damaged yields. One Miami County farmer told Bennett his concern was the possibility of severe damage, such as hail, on his ripening wheat. The counties also are concerned with the inability to harvest wheat or put postemergent herbicides on soybeans and corn. Everman said there was still another issue… “The biggest detrimental issue,” he said, “is lack of sunshine. Even when there’s no rain, it’s still cloudy. There’s no sun. “We can’t grow crops without sunlight,” he said. “Plants feel better with sunlight and so do we… at least I do.”
GREENVILLE – Some people around the county may have written off Annie Oakley Days as a festival that is on its way out or at the very least, seen better days. Some may have even thought the cancellation of the annual parade last year was the death nail for the annual event. Nothing could be further from the truth. Under the leadership of JoEllen Melling, president of the Annie Oakley Festival committee, the volunteers are taking Annie’s motto, Aim for a High Mark, to heart. This year’s event is shaping up to be one of the best in recent years. Melling said, “We want to restore the festival to the way it once was.” They are well on their way, which is evident by some of the decisions that were recently made. For starters, the committee announced earlier this year it was bringing back the parade and they are currently seeking entries. If you belong to a group, church, organization, 4H group, Boys or Girls Scout, school band, etc., they would love to see you be recognized in the 2015 Annie Oakley Parade. The parade takes
place on Saturday, July 25 and should hit downtown Greenville at approximately 10 a.m. Melling said, “Be a part of one of Darke County’s biggest parade, and be a part of the 2015 Annie Oakley Festival.” For more information and the application, visit www.annieoakleyfestival.org. Entry registration is needed as soon as possible. The deadline for a couple other traditional events is also approaching. Darke County Women, age 14-19, are needed to vie for the title Miss Annie Oakley. This is one of a very few contests that doesn’t require the contestant to stand before a judge and a large audience to give impromptu answers to surprise questions. The young lady that can shoot a balloon from the further distance will earn the title. The Miss Annie Oakley Shooting Contest and Costume Contest will be held July 22 and 23, at York Woods, just north of Greenville on US Route 127. The deadline for entry is July 8, 6 p.m. No entries will be accepted after 6 p.m. The sponsor fee is $50. A publicity photo shoot will be held July 8, 6 p.m. at the Annie Oakley Park Statue in downtown Greenville.
Shown are the winners from the 2014 shooting contest - first runner-up Katie Hurd, Miss Annie Oakley 2014 Hayley Maher and second runner-up Majenica Nealeigh.
The photo shoot is mandatory for all entrants. If you need information, have questions or need help with sponsors, call 547-9947. Return completed entry and two photos to Annie Oakley Committee, Inc., 4566 Jaysville St. John Road Greenville, Ohio 45331. Another long standing event for the festival is the Aim for a High Mark Essay Contest, sponsored by Cope’s Distributing. This contest is open to all girls, 8-13, who live in Darke County. Prizes of $75, $50 and $25 will be awarded. Young ladies are invited to write an essay answering the questions, “How has Annie Oakley’s life inspired you to ‘Aim for a High Mark?’” The essay should be
Fulton earns Gold helping special needs children BOB ROBINSON
ASSOCIATE EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – Emily Fulton estimated she had probably 120 hours putting together and completing “Camp Chosen.” She spent nearly a year (since August) preparing for a four-day Bible School just completed at St. John’s Lutheran Church. Her goal? The Girl Scout equivalent to Eagle Scouting for boys… Girl Scout Ambassador with the Gold Award. Her reward? Hearing special needs children say this was the best day of their lives, or like one child said… “This is really fun. And I mean it!” For the Gold Award
the 17-year-old Greenville High School senior still has to write a final report and will need to meet with the Girl Scouts of Western Ohio Council. Other requirements met in the past year include 80 or more hours of leadership, meetings with camp counselors and two or more adult advisors (not her mom). “It wasn’t easy to run an entire camp,” she said. “I was doing the planning while still going to school. I got frustrated. Multiple times… I thought I’d never see it to completion.” How did she finally get it done? “I just did it!” Emily said. “I knew it was important. I knew it needed to get done.” It wasn’t only for her Gold Award. Her focus on

could be involved in. These kids didn’t. “They don’t really have anything like this in the community. They aren’t getting what other kids get… I had to do it. For them.” Activities included Dry Ice Bubbles, Glow in the Dark Slime, Fun Activities such as Tie-Dye, a carnival, a water day and more. Volunteers prepared lunch for each 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. day. Events volunteers included Sherry Flora, Shawna Wise and Cindy Rose. Rose was one of Emily’s advisors. The other adult advisors were Debi Smith and Kris Osteber. Smith dressed like a pirate while giving the lessons each day. “They made sure I was on track,” Emily said, referring to her advisors. “They encouraged me. They met with me every month for nearly a year.” She added the curriculum for the event came from the online “Treasure God’s Love.” Each day started with Worship, then the Lesson, then small groups followed by stations (crafts). Lunch was served during this time, with each day closing with Worship. Emily is also a Peer Leader for We Are the Majority, a Recovery and Wellness program under the direction of Kelly Harrison. Emily wanted to thank her sponsors for Camp Chosen - the Ketrow Foundation and Darke Rural Electric – plus the volunteers who helped make her Gold Award achievement possible.

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Junior High Jazz Band, under the direction of Brian McKibben, recently traveled to Columbus, Ohio as guests of Representative Jim Buchy. The Jazz Band, made up of seventh and eighth grade band students, performed in concert at the James A. Rhodes State Office Tower. Following their performance the students were treated to lunch and then took part in a tour of the Ohio Statehouse. During lunch, students spent time speaking with Representative Buchy who discussed topics of government, how the House of Representatives functions as a law making body and his role in the House of Representatives. Students also reviewed how many Senators (33) and Representatives (99) held office and how bills are introduced and become law. He also answered student and chaperone questions. Mr. Buchy stressed the importance of hard work and doing well in school. The students and adults thoroughly enjoyed the visit and time spent with Representative Jim Buchy. The guided tour of our Ohio Statehouse was very interesting and educational, as well. Students were guided, by a retired history

GREENVILLE – Students participating in the Switching Gears Summer Youth Program through the Darke County Board of Developmental Disabilities (Darke DD) toured Greenville Technology, Inc. (GTI). Their focus was to learn about manufacturing as an industry that offers a variety of job opportunities. Bryan Adams, assembly manager, gave an overview of the factory and highlighted the many departments and jobs within the company. He led the students through the facility and suggested that as learned about the different jobs, they consider their future for schooling and/or the different skills they would need for that particular job. When one student asked what skills are important to work at GTI, Adams said that it is very important to be dependable, have good math skills, and have a good attitude. He continued by saying that attitude is very important in a job - the way you interact with your team members can have a big effect on overall job satisfaction.
Over the five-week program, students will tour businesses that highlight industries specific to our area (retail, manufacturing, agriculture, health care and food service). Through these experiences, students can begin to gather information and start to form opinions as to what interests them. One student said the GTI tour was helpful because it made him realize that he really would like to work in a factory, he especially liked the robotics. One girl had a completely different response, stating…. “I’m not a factory girl!” These insights can help them develop their areas of interests to focus on through their remaining years in high school. Darke DD provides transition services to coordinate between school, home and job-readiness training to help students develop a post-graduation plan. This week the kids also got to hear from Lauren Warner, a young lady who has worked at Village Green Health Campus for the past six months. Darke DD Community First Department helped Lauren
Theatre group will present show GREENVILLE – The Best Little Theatre in Town will be presented July 10, 3 and 7 p.m., at the Final Bow Studio, 315 Central Ave., Greenville. The musical’s plot involves a shady accountant named James P. Pennypacker, played by Hayden Stewart, who announces that “The Best Little Theatre in Town” will have to close down due to lack of funds. That’s when the theatre’s owner Mrs. Goodman, played by Hanna Rice, popular director Cecilee Deville, played by Rachel Wright, and the tightly-knit cast that includes Krysten Ross as Emily Best, Zeke Wright as Brock Adams, Chloe Noble as Melody Lane, Grace Krauss as Connie Chase, Bradley Stewart as Steve Tally, news reporters played by Kris Wright, Megan Walker and Addie Gathard and cops played by Malachi Wright and Tessa Stewart, go into action.

interview for and secure her job as a dietary aide in the food service department. An Employment Specialist helped her learn her job duties, become acclimated to the facility and get to know her co-workers. After six short weeks, Lauren was able to do the work on her own and has been a valued employee for the organization. She has made great friends at The Village Green; she feels very much a part of the team and says she absolutely loves her job. Lauren graduated from Tri-Village high school in 2013 and had some good words of advice for the students. She said it is important to be on time, follow rules, show respect to others, listen to your teachers and have a great attitude. She summed it up best by saying that she tries to have a positive attitude at all times, “…being in the community and having a job where I can help others is what I have always wanted to do, I always try to do my best and be nice to others……being positive
is powerful!” Students spent time in the classroom at Edison Community College working on activities for career exploration. These included career assessments, job searches, and interests/abilities inventories – all contributors in building a solid foundation for considering what they may want to do after high school. Some may want to go straight into employment, while others may want to continue with training or education to learn a skill and/or obtain a degree. Darke DD coordinates services to assist individuals with disabilities in each of these areas. Darke DD serves over 450 individuals with disabilities in various areas, including case management, transition, finding jobs, volunteering, and becoming more involved in community events. If you would like to learn more about our programs, contact Rodney Willis, Community First Director at 548-9057 or rodneyw@ darkedd.org.

Collaboration gives over 200 physicals GREENVILLE – Wayne HealthCare, Family Health and Orthopedic Associates of SW Ohio collaborated to offer 2015-16 school year comprehensive sports physicals to Wayne HealthSports athletic contracted schools, which included athletes at Greenville, Versailles and Ansonia.

Office personnel from Family Health and Wayne HealthCare were essential to provide registration, traffic flow and record keeping. As athletes completed their physical, they were given a cinch bag, water bottle and educational information from the event sponsors. All of the services were offered at a low cost of $10.
With more than 50 providers and volunteers working together, 230 athletes completed their sports physical for the 2015-16 school year. “This year was a new experience for us, however we were pleased with the athletic directors at each school who communicated with parents and helped students sign up for sports physicals,” said Jim Beyke, Director of Rehabilitation Services at Wayne HealthCare. “We are very pleased to be able to offer the collab-
VERSAILLES – The YMCA of Darke County is excited to announce that pool renovations at the Versailles Branch are complete and the pool is open! These enhancements to the swimming pool, slide and hot tub were made possible with generous support from the community, as well as great teamwork from the Versailles Branch staff. Prior to the month-long renovations, the ceiling and slide were deteriorating with rust. The pool’s aging filtration system was allowing sand to wash into the pool. The pool’s recirculation pump was struggling to circulate 65,000 gallons of water. The water temperature fluctuated week after week. The pool was drained to start the project, and then the entire pool area, including ceiling, water slide frame, steps, and hot tub, was pressure washed. The ceiling then received fresh coats of primer and paint. In addition to the ceiling’s improvement, the framing of the slide was welded and repaired before repainting.
The hot tub’s scratched fiberglass surface was sanded, primed and painted. The pool walls and floor were pressure washed, and painted. The filtration system for the pool and hot tub, the recirculation pump for the pool, and the pool heater were all replaced or repaired. The pool heater’s burners were replaced, as well. The pool reopened the week of June 29 – July 3. Come in and enjoy the renovated area, and enjoy a welcoming and enhanced swimming experience! July classes begin on July 6. See their pool schedule at www. ymcadarkecounty.org for open swim times. The Versailles Branch offers group swim lessons for all ages, private and semiprivate swim lessons, and group exercise classes including Aqua Power, Aqua Motion, Aqua Boot Camp, Aqua Zumba and SilverSplash. The swimming pool is also a great spot for a pool party, so come join us at the Y!

orative sports physicals to local athletes. This was a great team effort involving several organizations coming together to provide a great community service.” They are looking forward to the event next year and will continue working together to provide quality care to all members of the
Darke County community. Family Health patients can still schedule a sports physical by contacting their medical provider. Family Health encourages their patients to schedule their sports physicals as soon as possible since many fall sports begin practices during the summer months.

Oakview Upholstery has new owner GREENVILLE – After 28 years, six months and one day, Arlene Barton, owner of Oakview Upholstery, handed the business over to her son, Tab Barton. As of July 1, Tab is the new owner and operator of Oakview Upholstery. He has worked at Oakview for several years and has been very helpful in running the business. Arlene feels it is time he took over. Arlene will continue to show up here and there to help with book work and commercial estimates; however, she is looking forward to doing more things at home, some traveling, and, of course, play-
ing more golf. Oakview has been in business for over 80 years serving Darke, Miami and Preble Counties; helping residents and businesses restore, fix and recover. Their hours and friendly, helpful customer service will remain the same. Arlene says she has appreciated all the support the community has given her. She has made some very good friends by being in business in Greenville. “It is a great place to work,” she said. She hopes the community will continue to support the business and the employees at Oakview.

Youth look toward their future GREENVILLE – Switching Gears students enjoyed another week of action packed learning – partly focusing on cooking, budgeting, and grocery shopping. The Summer Youth Program, offered through the Darke County Board of Developmental Disabilities (Darke DD) not only teaches kids work skills, the youth also spend time learning independent living skills. When asked about their hopes and dreams for the future, the majority of the youth said they wanted to live on their own one day. Some wanted to live alone, others wanted to have a roommate, and a few envisioned being married. While most of the students reported doing some cooking at home, they were all very excited to learn new recipes, which also meant some good eating! Darke DD partnered with OSU Extension Office in Greenville for the use of their Learning Cen-
Program on Beavers set

GREENVILLE – Timber! Beavers have made a remarkable come-back from near extinction, and there are several sites within the Darke County Parks that beavers now call home! Join their Naturalist Intern, Grace Winhoven, and spend an evening learning about the largest rodent of North America and then they’ll travel off-site to possibly look at beavers in action! This program will begin at the Nature Center at Shawnee Prairie on July 13, 6:30 p.m., and is free. Call the Nature Center at 548-0165 for more information or visit www.darkecountyparks.org.
ter, giving the students a large, modern kitchen to make breakfast burritos and strawberry shortcake. Many learning opportunities were offered during this activity – including food safety practices, teamwork, following directions, problem solving, communication and time management. The program continued to highlight various industries in our area. This week the students toured The Village Green Health Campus to learn about the many jobs within the healthcare field. Lindsay Balster, Staffing and Retention Team Leader, gave a fun and interactive tour of the campus. Students learned that Village Green is referred to as a Health Campus for a reason. “This is their home and we are serving them in their home”. There is not a set schedule that everyone follows, the staff work hard to provide activities and individual schedules that fit with the needs and interests of each resident. “It’s all about them and what they want to do,” stated Balster. While at the facility, students were able to meet and talk with Lauren Warner, who received assistance through Darke DD to get her job in dining services.
Summer Concerts
GREENVILLE – The Greenville Municipal Band will begin its 2015 Summer Concert Season on July 5, 7 p.m., at the Marling Bandshell in the Greenville City Park. Concerts will also be held July 12, 19 and 26, Aug. 9, 16 and 30 at 7:30 p.m. The final concert will be held Sept. 6, 7 p.m. The July 26 and Aug. 30 concerts will feature the Jazz Band.
Students practice safe cooking procedures while making breakfast burritos.
Lauren has been with the company for six months; she started as a dishwasher and now has the added responsibilities of working in the dining room. She sets the tables and helps serve food to the residents. “… [Lauren] does a great job and the residents just love her.”, stated Balster. Lauren previously attended Wayne Industries Sheltered Workshop full time. With the help of Darke DD Community Employment Services, she no longer goes to the workshop - she now works 25 hours per week at Village Green and she will tell you that she loves her job! If you are interested in learning more about Community Employment Services through Darke DD – contact Rodney Willis, Community First Director at 548-9057 or rodneyw@ darkedd.org.
