Judge Hein rules in favor of The Early Bird, again! GREENVILLE – The Early Bird and Brothers Publishing RYAN BERRY Company, Managing Editor LLC has bluebagmedia.com once again earned a victory in the Darke County Court of Common Pleas. For a third time, The Early Bird has been ruled a Newspaper of General Circulation. The ruling was necessary for the newspaper to continue to run and seek legal advertising. For each argument presented by Civitas Media, Judge Jonathan P. Hein, Darke County Court of Common Pleas, found The Early Bird clearly met each objective under Ohio law. “The Court ﬁnds that the Legisla-

“The Early Bird is certainly not a “shopper” advertisement ﬂyer as pejoratively described by Civitas Media, LLC.” – Judge Jonathan P. Hein ture clearly intended free newspapers to be added as a method to meet general circulation purposes,” said Hein. “The expanded page size and substantive content requirement of revised R.C. 7.12(A)(1) and (2) were included to increase the likelihood that the newspaper would attract the public to also view governmental information and notices.” Hein continued, “The Early Bird is certainly not a “shopper” advertisement ﬂyer as pejo-

ratively described by Civitas Media, LLC.” Following the announcement, Keith Foutz, owner and publisher, stated “We were pleased that the court system and Judge Hein has once again ruled in our favor. Judge Hein was exceptionally thorough in his ruling stating unequivocally The Early Bird is a newspaper of general circulation, meeting the legislative requirements and qualiﬁes to run legal advertising for Darke County.”

The publisher continued, “We were equally pleased when Judge Hein went on to state what has become obvious to the residents of Darke County ‘The Early Bird is certainly not a shopper advertisement flyer’ as previously claimed by Civitas.” Foutz concluded, “We have been confident since this process began that the court system would rule in our favor and we are extremely pleased and happy to have this so clearly stated by Judge Hein. We now look forward to helping the city, county, villages and townships save substantially on their expense of running legal advertisements through utilization of the locally owned and operated Early Bird.” This ruling marks the third time The Early Bird has been deemed a Newspaper of General Circulation. The first ruling came on Sept. 10, 2012 when the Darke

County Prosecuting Attorney concluded the weekly newspaper was a Newspaper of General Circulation. Seven days later Civitas Media, LLC, which owns and operates The Daily Advocate, filed a protestation letter arguing against the ruling. Judge Hein eventually ruled in favor of The Early Bird. Civitas Media disagreed with the judge’s decision and took the case to the 2nd District Court of Appeals. That court did not rule against The Early Bird, but did send the case back to Judge Hein’s court for mediation between the two parties and for the trial court to consider an affidavit submitted on behalf of Civitas Media by Kathleen Chandler, former state representative and member of the Local Government Public Notice Task Force. Regarding the affidavit, Judge Hein said in his ruling, “This de-

cision places the trial court in the curious quandary of violating the rules of evidence since the affidavit does not possess an evidentiary foundation for admission nor does it allow for cross examination by the opposing party. Were the trial court allowed to apply the rules of evidence at hearing herein, the affidavit would not be admitted.” Although the judge allowed the affidavit at the direction of the Court of Appeals, he pointed out it held “little evidentiary weight.” Eric Brand, attorney for Brothers Publishing, pointed out the judge spent a great deal of time and thought reviewing the material and did an excellent job reviewing the law. Brand also praised the Civitas attorneys in noting Gary Leppla did an excellent job with his presentation, but the law wasn’t on his side.

Construction workers are building the frame for the shell that will surround the cafeteria and offer a new face for Greenville High School.

GHS remodeling work on schedule for 2015 GREENVILLE – The last day of school didn’t lead to a quiet BOB ROBINSON high school Associate Editor bluebagmedia.com campus like it did on the other campuses in the Greenville City School District. Action started immediately after the last ofﬁcial session of the year, a required teacher work day. Workers began the remodeling of Greenville High School. The framework for the cafeteria shell is starting to take shape, asbestos removal operations are underway, work has begun on the new roof and more. In the meantime year-round administrative personnel, including GHS Principal Ken Neff, have been moved to the Career Tech Building. “Construction is going great,” Neff said. “They are easy to work with, polite… doing a good job and we’re having no difﬁculties doing our job.” Neff is in CT Room 204. Desks, boxes and more are pushed against the wall and stacked for summer storage. Neff’s work area is toward the front of the room. Greenville City Schools Supt. Doug Fries is also pleased with the progress. “I’m happy that our local contractor, Brumbaugh

Secure tile asbestos removal from the administrative and band room areas is part of the construction process.

Construction, was able to get the contract. They all are working well together. There’s lots to get done.” The shell will be complete in the fall but not the cafeteria or kitchen. That will be finished in the fall of 2015. Administrative offices, with new security measures in place, will be ready this fall. Work on the tennis courts is scheduled to be finished in the fall. According to Fries, the primary focus this summer will be the administrative area, a new roof, the shell for the cafeteria and a teacher workroom area. Throughout the school year classrooms will be worked on in groups of four or five. Those classes will be moved to available space. When work is finished – it will take about six weeks – they’ll move back and

four or five more classes will be moved. Work will be continuing for air conditioning and new heating with scheduled completion for the fall of 2015. “There is a lot of above ceiling grid work… water lines and insulation… electric,” Fries said. Work is also being done in the music area. New instrument cages, acoustical tile, painting. Fries noted asbestos removal from old tile in the office area and band room is also underway. All work is on schedule for anticipated completion by the end of summer 2015. Fries added site prep work for the K-8 building is expected to begin in August. It will take two years to finish; the facility is expected to be ready for the 2016-2017 school year.

ing with the staff and students at the Greenville Technology Center and Greenville High School. “I started my teaching career in CT 14 years ago,” he added. “I’m looking forward to getting involved again.” Tech center responsibilities include the general area of workforce development. “Marc Saluk has done an outstanding job with Workforce Develop-

ment,” McGreevey noted. “I look forward to working alongside him. Also, we have a great maintenance and technology staff.

Grand Jury indicts former deputy for second time GREENVILLE – A Grand Jury has indicted former Darke CLINTON RANDALL County AuxStaff Writer iliary Sherbluebagmedia.com iff’ Deputy Bryan D. Wombolt, 27, on four counts of Sexual Battery for a second time. Darke County Prosecuting Attorney Kelly Ormsby dismissed a previous indictment before the case was set to go to trial. According to both the state and defense, a plea agreement could not be worked out in the case. “We decided that if it had to go to trial we

Bryan D. Wombolt

wanted to take it back with additional charges to the Grand Jury,” Ormsby stated in a previously published article. The case was re-presented to the Grand Jury on June 26 with the same four counts, but under a separate section of the Ohio Revised Code. Ormsby told The Early Bird the new charges carry the same penal-

ties, but do not specify an age of the victim only that Wombolt was acting as an employee of the school engaging in sexual relations with a student which is a crime under the new charges regardless of the victim’s age. The female student was 17-years-old at the time of the offenses in February. Wombolt is awaiting arraignment under the new indictment. The current Sexual Battery charges are still third degree felonies with a penalty of up to three years each. He could be required to register as a Tier III offender for life if convicted as charged.

an empty syringe under him. According to the report, Howell had overdosed just a few days earlier. Paramedics used life-saving measures on him. When asked if he had been ‘doing heroin’ he allegedly responded “yes.” One syringe, an orange cap (recovered from his mouth) and one clear capsule were found at the scene. Test results were requested and charges will be ﬁled with the Darke County Prosecutor for Possession of Drugs. On June 27 police responded to The Comfort Inn, 1190 E. Russ Road, regarding drug paraphernalia found in a room by maintenance employees. While they were cleaning they found two hypodermic needles and a mirror with a line of white powder on it. The room was in the name of, and had been occupied by, Josh Lewis. The police were dispatched originally in response to a call that a male suspect in the lobby appeared to be drunk or on drugs. Upon arrival police found there was a DCSO warrant on Lewis and arrested him. Police are awaiting results from the laboratory. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE On June 28 police responded to a domestic violence call resulting in the arrest of Aaron Hickey. The victim told police Hickey was intoxicated and soon became

belligerent with children in the residence. When she told Hickey to leave he got angry and began punching the walls, kicking her in the back and knocking her off her bed on top her child. There were no visible injuries or damage to any walls. The officer discovered Hickey had an active arrest warrant by the Greenville PD for a Domestic Violence charge stemming from March 2011. While the officer spoke with the victim Hickey was in the residence with the door locked. After several minutes and repeated requests from the officer he opened the door. A Darke County Sheriff’s deputy took custody of Hickey regarding other possible charges and transported him to Darke County jail. Hickey was incarcerated for the Domestic Violence warrant, charged with the latest Domestic Violence incident and advised he was “trespassed” from the victim’s property. On June 25 police responded to a domestic violence call regarding a suspect (unnamed in the report) “charging” the victim with balled up fists. He swung and hit her on the right side of the neck, leaving a red mark. He attempted to strike her again but she blocked it. There was a witness to the assault. The suspect had no prior

domestic violence convictions; when arrested claimed to have numbness in the hands and anxiety. Once cleared by Wayne Health Care, the suspect will be transported to Darke County jail. JUVENILE On June 24 at 4:24 a.m. police responded to a call regarding four juveniles walking between houses near 243 Marion Drive. Two ran at the sight of the ofﬁcer. The ofﬁcer noted a strong smell of alcoholic beverage on one of the juveniles who didn’t run. First the juvenile said he hadn’t been drinking, but after performing poorly on a sobriety test, he said he’d had about six beers. The juveniles named the two who ran, one of whom had been warned two days earlier for curfew violation. Two juveniles were transported to their custodians and warned for curfew; a third was transported to the Greenville Police Station, charged with Underage Consumption and released to his father. The fourth, who had been repeatedly warned, was cited for Unruly Juvenile. WARRANTS On June 28 police arrested William Smith at 307 Tillman, who was wanted on a bench warrant out of Montgomery Municipal Court regarding an original charge of

Open Container in a Vehicle. He was released to an ofﬁcer in Clay Township. On June 26 police arrested Darrell Ray Bush at 317 Rifﬂe Ave. on a Greenville warrant for Failure to Appear on an original charge of Criminal Trespassing. He was transported to Darke County jail. On June 26 police arrested Belinda Goodpaster on a warrant out of Indiana for Escape. Following the arrest she complained of chest pains and shortness of breath. Greenville Township Rescue responded and transported her to Wayne Health Care where she was medically cleared. She was then transported to Darke County jail.

Church burglary suspect jailed on $10,000 bond BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE Darke County Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein handed down a $10,000 bond July 1 for a man charged with breaking into multiple southern Darke

County churches and businesses. Ethan E. Louk, 21, of the Arcanum area faces a 15 count indictment in the case, including 13 counts of Breaking & Entering, felonies of the ﬁfth degree, and two counts of Safe Cracking, felonies of the fourth degree. He and a 17year-old accomplice are believed to have broken into at least nine churches in Darke County alone. The pair are also charged with several break-ins to businesses in the Arcanum, Pitsburg and New Madison areas. Louk faces charges in Miami County in addition to the Darke County indictment.

Ethan E. Louk

Lead investigator on the case, Detective Rodney Baker of the Darke County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce stated, “Personally I think it is pretty low to break-in and steal from a church. It is a place people should feel safe.” Baker told The Early Bird that many hours were put in to solve this case and get an indict-

ment on the suspect. Louk and his juvenile accomplice are accused of breaking into several safes, stealing cash and televisions from a few of the churches. Cash, cigarettes and even candy were reportedly taken from some of the businesses the pair allegedly hit. Louk remains incarcerated in the Darke County jail awaiting his next court date of July 28 at 9:30 a.m. He told the judge during his video arraignment Tuesday that he plans to retain his own attorney in the case. He faces up to 16 years and over $40,000 in ﬁnes if convicted as charged in the indictment.

Greenville woman surprised by instant lotto win BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE – Playing Ohio Lottery instant games paid off in a big way for one Greenville woman. Cora Jones of Greenville spent $2 for a single ticket of the EZPLAY Progressive Perfect Game before work Wednesday morning and became an instant winner of $13,455. Jones says she plays the instant game daily at Danny’s Place sports bar on S. Broadway in Greenville where she has worked on and off for almost 10 years since moving from her home in Kentucky. When the machine started ﬂashing and displaying she was a winner, Jones said she could barely breathe and started dancing around. She said that she had to scan the ticket three times because she didn’t believe she had re-

ally won so much money. According to Jones the most she has ever won playing the lotto is $750 from the same machine at Danny’s Place a year ago. Jones took her winning ticket to be veriﬁed and processed at the lotto center in Dayton. She was told that the money will reach her hands in approximately a month. She will pocket over $9,000 after the state takes it’s tax cut of 29 percent. When asked what she plans to do with her winnings, Jones told The Early Bird she will use it to help in raising her two grandchildren that have lived with her for the past six years, who are ages 8 and 12. She also says it will make moving her mom from Florida a bit easier and of course pay off some bills. She says she deﬁnitely plans to keep playing the lotto.

A recreational fire is defined as a campfire or cooking fire less than three feet in diameter and two feet tall. The following list or rules as stated in the Ohio Fire Code pertains to the regulations for open burning/recreational fires: * Fire must be attended at all times. * There must be some form of extinguishment present (garden hose, fire extinguisher, etc.) * Burn only clean wood – (it is illegal to burn yard waste and trash or garbage at any time) * Recreational fires, in approved containers, must be at least 15 feet from any structure. All other recreational fires must be at least 25 feet from any structure. * Fires that are offensive because of smoke or odor emissions are prohibited.

Summer time cookouts…Let’s fire up the grill, NOT the house Cooking on the grill or over an open fire creates a lot of heat. Keeping the grill or open fire at least 15 feet away from the house or anything that can catch fire is a good fire safety practice. You should not grill in an enclosed area like

a garage or porch. Cooking on or below balconies of an apartment building is against State Fire Code. Keep a ﬁre extinguisher close by. KIDS stay away at least 3 feet while grownups cook. And please keep pets away as well.

ON YOUR MIND

Commissioners Corner June has come and gone, and we are now completely into the summer months. June has been warm and wet, which is good growing season for our farmers (as long as it isn’t too wet). People are enjoying all the summer-time benefits Darke County has, and it looks to be a good summer season for most of us. Cookouts, swimming, parades, festivals and such are in full swing, so enjoy what Darke County has to offer this summer. This month has been busy in the Commissioner’s office. We have been working on a lot of maintenance on buildings and of course the parking area out at the Wagner Avenue Government Center. Our buildings are important to us, so it is important to take care of them with the money we get from the public. The Courthouse second and third floors are being renovated, thanks to the Judges and prosecutor, and the Sheriff’s Office sewer relining project was to start on the 27th of this month. It seems that for several years now we have been trying to do “catch up” maintenance on a lot of structures, and we seem to be slowly removing things from our lengthy “to-do” list. This expenditure of money should help us cut costs in the future. The Sheriff’s Office is waiting on the delivery of three more new vehicles that should be in anytime now. As we have already purchased three, these additional three units will continue to cut down the maintenance the Sheriff was incurring on the older cruisers. As has been stated before, the Sheriff’s Office incurs a lot of expense, but there are only two departments in the County that run 24 hours a day, every day of the year; The Sheriff and the County Home. With three times more usage of those facilities, it is easy to see why they require more maintenance than the others. Along with building maintenance, and new

equipment, we are currently looking upgrading our servers for the Courthouse and the Commissioner’s office. Technology advances quickly, and keeping up with upgrades and new technology will be a challenge for now and the future. We have tried to get as much as we can from what we have now, but it is getting costly, and harder to find support for our outdated systems, so time to upgrade. We will let you know when the upgrades are complete. The economic fortunes for Darke County continue to be a highlight for us. We are still seeing our companies grow and expand, and we will do everything we can to help them. New business is always welcome, but maintaining what we have is just as important, if not more so. Workforce development will be a primary target for us for the foreseeable future, and as of now, we are very happy with the direction we are headed. Dave Peltz, who was in charge of the Tech Center at the Greenville High School, is leaving to take another position at the Miami Valley Tech Center. We wish Dave all the best, as he has been a tireless supporter of our workforce efforts at the school. With Dave working at Miami Valley, this can only help strengthen ties with them, and help our entire regional cooperation. Good Luck, Dave, may your future be very rewarding! As we head into the summer, it is important to realize that with all the outside activity, we still are having public meetings inside (yes, it is air-conditioned!) at the Commissioner’s Office. Won’t you join us? We meet every Monday and Wednesday publicly at 1:30 p.m. in our office located at 520 South Broadway in downtown Greenville. We are that nice building just south of the courthouse, so come on in and find out what is happening in your county. Hope to see you soon! The Darke County Commissioners

I Can’t Believe I’m a Soccer Fan Ryan’s World by Ryan Berry Managing Editor bluebagmedia.com

RYANwhen BERRYit I’m not sure MANAGING happened, but I someEDITOR how became a fan of futbol. Me…a child of the 60s…a soccer fan. I can hardly believe it myself. Wait! I know some of you are thinking I am only a fan because of the World Cup and I got caught up in the hype and it is merely patriotism. Nope! I am a true fan of the game. On most Saturday and some Sunday mornings during the regular season you will ﬁnd me in front of the television watching English Premier League Soccer. I even found myself watching beach soccer the other day – that’s dedication. The American version (Major League Soccer) is like the minor leagues compared to the English Premier League. That could be why the game has never really had a foothold

(pun intended) in the United States. Unless we have the best we don’t want it. I even know most of the rules 1) unless you’re the goalie, don’t touch the ball with your hand, 2) offside – don’t go beyond the last defensive player before the ball is kicked to you, 3) if you are on defense – don’t foul in the box around the goal keeper unless you’re mad at your goalie and want to make him/her defend a penalty kick, and 3) when you bump into your opponent be sure to fall down and make it look like you’re in extreme pain – the person who does the better acting job not only gets a free kick, but can determine if your opponent gets to stay on the ﬁeld. If you can muster an Oscar worthy acting job, the guy you bumped into might get a red card and be banned from the rest of the current game and all of the next. I’m sure my fascination for the game be-

gan when my daughters were young. We endured the soccer games when they were four and ﬁve years old. Watching them at that is age is about as interesting as watching sheep being herded. They are all in one clump and they all move together. Imagine a cat chasing the little red dot from a laser pointer – that’s basically the equivalent of what you will see at one of these games, except the cat is about 10 kids and the little red dot is the ball. As they got older the games did get better and I began to learn the intricacies of the game (actually, I just learned the rules). The one thing I’ve never seen my oldest daughter do in a soccer game is score a goal. Hold on. I lied. I did see her score a goal once. It wasn’t for her team, but she did score. That day will forever be burned in my memory. It was the day I chose wrong. I had the choice of watching my

oldest play or taking my youngest to another town and watching her play. My wife had the honor of witnessing the ﬁrst and so far only goal scored by either of our children for their own team. While football and baseball are my top two favorite sports and probably will always take precedent over soccer, it has moved up on my list of things to watch 1) football (college and pro), 2) baseball (pro), 3) ﬁgure skating (just kidding, I wanted to see if you were paying attention) 3) NASCAR, 4) soccer, 5) golf, 6) college basketball, 7) boxing (not MMA – I’m a traditionalist), 8) cheerleading (we can argue over whether it is a sport or a competition, but since there is a chance for injury I’m including it), 9) bowling, and 10) NBA basketball (which may drop lower if I ever start watching cricket, rugby, lacrosse, curling or competitive eating on a regular basis).

Changes to evaluation system beneﬁcial A s teachers are beefing up on the latest techniques on how JIM BUCHY to eduOHIO cate our REPRESENTATIVE children this coming fall, school districts are considering changes to how teachers are evaluated. Effective with the 2014-15 school year

Arcanum BOE meets

ARCANUM – The Arcanum-Butler Local Board of Education will hold its Regular Board of Education Meeting on July 10, 7 p.m., in the Board of Education Ofﬁce.

Greenville BOE meets GREENVILLE – The Board of Education of the Greenville City School District will meet in special meeting to serve the purpose of the regular meeting on July 8, 7 p.m., Anna Bier Civic Center, Memorial Hall, Greenville. The purpose of the meeting is to present any business that may come before the Board and executive session, if necessary. There will be a Records Commission meeting preceding the special meeting at 6:45 p.m.

districts may choose an alternative teacher evaluation framework. The new options were amended into HB 362 as the bill worked it’s way through the legislature. The teacher evaluation provisions went through a vigorous process, and countless changes before it was signed by the governor. Collaboration with teachers, principals, school superintendents, school board members, and education reformers throughout the state allowed for an inclusive process while providing alternatives for local school districts. These changes are a result of concerns raised by the complexities of the new teacher evaluation system instituted in schools during the last school year. Next school year, each district can decide to continue to use

the existing framework which weights teacher performance and student progress at 50 percent each or use the alternative framework which weights teacher performance and student progress at 42.5 percent each, with the additional 15 percent drawn from options such as student surveys, peer review, student portfolios, or other items approved by the Ohio Department of Education. Additionally, teachers rated as “skilled”, are not required to be evaluated annually unless their student progress data is below average. Teachers rated as “accomplished” are excused from annual evaluation under the existing framework, but must also maintain student progress at the average level or higher to continue to be excused from annual evaluation. No

change was made to the requirement that those teachers exempt from an annual evaluation must still have at least one formal observation and conference with the principal each school year. Giving administrators ﬂexibility will help focus their limited time and resources where it is most needed. Evaluations will be targeted where they can bring the most improvement and better serve the school district as a whole. The state of Ohio has a long and proud history of supporting local control of primary and secondary education. Providing local districts multiple tools and the ﬂexibility to use them as they think best is a common sense approach to ensure quality educational opportunities for every student.

OBITUARIES

FRANKMAN

– Pastor Richard H. “Dick” Frankman passed away at age 79 on June 27, 2014 in his Kissimmee home after a long illness. Dick was born in Greenville, Ohio, Aug. 28, 1934, to Dr. Charles F. “Fritz” and Dorothy Hole Frankman. He was raised by his loving and devoted stepmother Lucille Frankman Thomas and nanny, Carrie Meyer, along with is four siblings. He graduated from Greenville High School and attended both Ohio State and Wittenberg Universities, graduating from Wittenberg in 1958. He met and married his wife, Sue, in 1960. They had four children together. He was a successful salesman for NCR prior to entering seminary.

He was ordained as a

Lutheran pastor and served parishes in Ohio, Kentucky and Florida. He was a humble man and never realized the positive impact he had on many people’s lives during and after his ministry. In 1981, he and Sue founded and operated Alpha Specialties and Awards in Kissimmee. His ministry continued at Alpha, and he was often teased that he did more counseling there than in the church. They both retired from the business in 1998. He was a former member of the Rotary Club Kissimmee West and an active member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Kissimmee. He enjoyed going to the beach – part of what brought the family to Florida, ﬁshing, golfing with friends, swimming laps in his pool and a good stiff drink. He loved spending time with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren even if it was just a quick conversation on the phone. He was blessed with many friends.

“I really wish I had done something sooner because my hearing aids have made a tremendous difference in my life”

VERSAILLES – Andrew Kramer received Boy Scouting’s highest honor, the Eagle Scout Award, at his Court of Honor Ceremony on April 27. Andrew, 18, is a member of Versailles Troop 79 and a senior at Versailles High School, where he is involved in swimming, cross country, track, band, and the National Honor Society. The son of Michael and Sharon Kramer, he has been involved in scouting since the age of seven when he entered the Tiger Cubs. Andrew advanced through all the ranks of Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, which include Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, and Life Scout. For his Eagle Scout project, Andrew created and installed a rain barrel watering system for St. Denis Catholic Church in Versailles. The rain water collected from this conservation project will be used to water the plants surrounding the church. His project took 200 hours to complete. Kramer said it took some time and effort to decide on a project and get it approved. “I ﬁrst talked with Fr. David Vincent to see what projects he might have that needed completed. I thought this was a project worth doing. I then worked on putting together a proposal, submitted it, and got my project approved.” Kramer said the communication and leadership skills he has learned in scouting helped him complete his project. He spoke with numerous local businessmen concerning donations for the project and gained knowledge from them on how to complete a

quality project. In addition to his Eagle Scout award, Kramer has earned 26 merit badges in areas as diverse as archery, camping, citizenship, ﬁrst aid, lifesaving, personal management, and swimming. He has also served his troop as assistant patrol leader. Kramer has performed numerous hours of community service in projects such as the Lion’s Club breakfast, Poultry Days Committee assistance, the local food drive, and numerous conservation projects. The new Eagle Scout would like to thank those in his community who helped him complete his project: Fred Poeppelman of Pepcon, Troy Plumbing, Roger Frey, Fr. David Vincent, Fr. Jim Simons, Tyler Rose, and the current scout members of Troop 79. He would also like to thank his Boy Scout leaders, Matt Martin, Bob Paulus, John Harman, Tom Jokerst, Ron Miller, and Eric Knopp for their guidance and dedication to the Boy Scout program. Kramer encourages boys to become interested in scouting. “Through the scouting program, I have been able to experience many things. Not only have I learned many important life skills, but I have had a lot of fun. Scouting has helped make me who I am today. “ Versailles Troop 79 is a very active Boy Scout troop that goes on monthly camp outs during the school year, and one high adventure camp out during the summer months For more information on scouting in the Versailles area, please contact Scoutmaster Matt Martin at 526-5564.

Couple hosts Coffee and Conversation ARCANUM – Tom and Liz Stephens will host the third session of the summer series Coffee and Conversation on July 12 at the Arcanum Wayne Trail Historical Society, 123 W. George St., Arcanum, beginning at 10 a.m. This series has been a fun time to relax and exchange memories about growing up in Arcanum and Southern Darke County. Those attending have loved reminiscing and sharing their stories. As Tom and Liz lead the conversation you are invited to share your memories about local people, events, places and businesses, interweaving your stories with theirs. Tom was born in the house next to the historical society, the house many people remember as Dr. Cupp’s home and ofﬁce. It was a time when two train tracks came through Arcanum. His family’s business, Stephens Lumber Co., prospered, shipping lumber coast to coast and across the ocean. Liz grew up in Trotwood making her home here when she and Tom married.

They have been very involved in the community, both serving on the village council. Liz helped at the mill, was a school bus driver for 40 years, owned the Korner Restaurant and was president of the Arcanum Area Business Association. So they have many stories to tell. Tom had a love of trains since he was a child. That interest lead to their involvement with the Ft. Wayne Railroad Historical Society where Liz was Director of the Board for 15 years. Tom worked his way up from fireman to mechanical officer and engineer. Arrive early so you can view the memorabilia they are bringing. One special piece to Liz is from the Korner Restaurant which advertises local businesses of that time. It is a clock in a wooden box with signs of businesses that rotate. This free event is a great way for newcomers in the area to learn more about Southern Darke County. Marilyn Graeff will host the final session Aug. 9. Mark your calendar for both dates.

FS4JK holds 10th annual Progressive Ag Safety Day GREENVILLE – The Darke County Chapter of Farm Safety for Just Kids recently held its 10th annual Progressive Ag Safety Day at the Darke County Fairgrounds, marking an educational and exciting event for 100 young attendees. The children, ages 7-13, were divided into five groups where they rotated from five different stations involving ATV Safety, Animal Safety, PTO/Equipment Safety, Drug Safety, and Grain Safety. After lunch, the kids sat as a group to hear about Healthy Lifestyles presented by Corrie Holthouse and the Darke County Health Department. The final session was presented by the Greenville Township Rescue where the kids learned about what to expect in case of an accident and how the rescue squad would put you on a board and take you to the hospital. Lisa and Mark Mayo also gave their account of a serious accident Mark encountered last year and how he was taken to a hospital by the rescue squad. Conducting the Animal Safety Session was Nick Brumfield, the Ohio State Farm Safety for Just Kids representative. Nick is a student at The Ohio State University and also gave the welcoming talk to the kids. Local lawyer Ted Finnarn, and A.J. Warner, a student at FM, presented the PTO/ Equipment Safety Session. Ted was involved in a PTO accident at a young age and was able to relate with the kids about staying away from PTOs. A.J. talked about his brother, John, and how his sweatshirt string caught in a gear and pulled him into the piece of equipment. A.J. displayed the large ball of sweatshirt strings which were collected a

few years ago and used as a reminder to the kids. The Darke County Sheriff’s Office presented the drug awareness session and the Greenville Sheriff’s Office provided the kids with an outstanding book discussing drugs & Farm Safety. Russ Beckner, coordinator of the Southwest Ohio Farm Safety for Just Kids Chapter, presented a session on staying safe around grain. Janet Rhoades, Safety Day Coordinator, presented the ATV session and pointed out to the kids how very dangerous ATVs are and that they should not be on a large ATV until they are at least 16 years old. The chapter would like to thank all of those who donated their resources and time to this great event. Thanks to McDonalds and Darke County Farm Bureau for helping with the food, The Andersons, Buckeye Insurance, Greenville Sheriff’s Office, Darke County Sheriff’s Office, State Farm Insurance for the resources they provided. Also, thanks to Koenig Equipment, Harvestland, Tractor Supply Company, Dave Knapp Ford, and Wilbur-Ellis for the door prize donations.

Pitsburg COB hosts Family Block Party

Shown is the inside of the Council House at Prairie Ridge Meadow.

Peace and Friendship Summit GREENVILLE – The Darke County Park District in partnership with the Treaty of Greenville Bicentennial Commission is proud to host The Peace and Friendship Summit to commemorate the anniversary of the signing of the Second Treaty of Greenville in July 1814. The signing of this treaty ended most hostilities of the War of 1812 and was crucial to ending the war. This premier event will begin on July 24, with a grand opening of a new Tecumseh display room at the Nature Center to celebrate the many Native American Indian tribes who lived and visited the Greenville area. This room will be a hands-on encounter into the lives of a typical Native American Indian in the late 1700’s-early 1800’s and a display space for some of the Park District’s historical artifacts including the Kinzie Brooch and an original George Washington Peace Medal, which have never been on pub-

lic display. On display beginning July 24 until September will be one of three original silver peace pipes given to Indian tribes at the Second Treaty of Greenville thanks to a loan from the Kansas City Museum. Following the opening of the Tecumseh Room will be a banquet with foods introduced to American pioneers by the Native Americans, dulcimer music and a parade of period costume. The summit continues on July 25 with a grand opening of a “bowery” structure in the Prairie Ridge Meadow Park area built with funding awarded through the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission and constructed by volunteers of the Park District. The Bowery is a reproduction of the structure under which the Second Treaty of Greenville was signed on animal skins in 1814. An Honor ceremony with representatives of the nine Native Ameri-

can tribes who signed the treaty and state and local dignitaries will take place along with Native dancing, prayer and a gifting of wampum belts. The remainder of the day will be ﬁlled with demonstrators, re-enactors and story tellers talking about the period of the second Treaty signing. The Peace and Friendship Summit merges with the annual Gathering at Garst on July 26 and 27. The Gathering is an annual event to support Garst Museum and promote the history of the Darke County area. The Banquet will be the kickoff of the Peace and Friendship Summit and will occur at the Nature Center at Shawnee Prairie Preserve, 4267 State Route 502 West, Greenville, on July 24, 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 per person, pre-sale only.

Don Wright 80th birthday packs house GREENVILLE – “I have never been to a party like this beBOB ROBINSON fore…” This Associate Editor seemed to bluebagmedia.com be a popular comment according to Don Wright following his 80th birthday celebration at Eagles Park Shade Road. More than 200 people attended, including public officials State Rep. Jim Buchy and Darke County Engineer Jim Surber. Wright is a wellknown figure from Greenville’s early years; his sarcastic observations – published and verbal – about the events in his community and today’s public figures have created a long line of followers and detractors. He wanted his friends to help him celebrate 80 years, over 60 of which had been

spent in Greenville and Darke County. And they showed up. “They set up tables and chairs for 150 people,” Wright said. “They had to pull out another 50 and the seats were ﬁlled.” Some of the comments were due to Wright’s recognition of old friends who were gone – friends he would have loved to have seen. The list was read by his son Brad, after which longtime friend Charley James honored them with a toast. “It was hard for me,” Wright said. “That’s why I had Brad read the names… I couldn’t.” The long-time Greenville resident received a proclamation from the Ohio House of Representatives which said, in part, Wright had the “satisfaction of knowing that you have set an example of service and

achievement worthy of emulation.” Wright thanked everyone who helped put the event together, including his secretary Pat and another longtime friend, Long Haired Susie. He told the crowd if they didn’t like the food, or the refreshments were too weak or if they had any other complaints they could blame Bush (former Pres. G. W. Bush). Another comment the crowd enjoyed was during the middle of the prayer his sister Jan Hawkins offered before dinner… she noted Wright’s slot machines as one of his accomplishments over the years. Among the celebrants of old and new friends were members of his family: Brad and Jan, brother (Duck Dynasty) Fred, his wife Pepper, and numerous nieces and great nieces.

Citizens react to Council’s planned sidewalk project GREENV I L L E – Nearly two dozen residents – many of BOB them clearly ROBINSON Associate Editor expressing bluebagmedia.com frustration and anger – attended the Greenville City Council meeting July 1. They are residents of the Gardenwood-Rhoades Avenue area. They had attended the meeting due to Greenville’s Law Committee submitting (and Council accepting) a recommendation requiring a planned sidewalk construction project be partially funded by a grant and other revenues, but would also include an assessment on affected property owners. Esti-

mated cost for the sidewalk would be $3,500 to $4,000 and the assessment would be over a ﬁve-year period. Harold Stockslager presented a petition from homeowners with 44 signatures. Forty three opposed the action while only one afﬁrmed it. He and others complained Council said it would hold a public hearing prior to moving ahead with the plan. He added they had received no notice of such a hearing being held. Greenville Councilman Tracy Tryon told the audience the hearing hadn’t been held because they hadn’t seen the design yet. It isn’t completed. This probably won’t happen until fall with

construction scheduled to begin in April 2015. Greenville Mayor Mike Bowers said there had been one meeting held earlier but no one showed up. “We didn’t know,” came the quick response. “Then that’s on me,” Bowers said. Notice had been placed, but evidently in areas to which most residents had no access. “Decisions aren’t going to be made in a vacuum,” he added. “They will be made with community input.” Some complained about already having sidewalks… “Why tear out good sidewalks just to replace them?” Others complained there already were sidewalks on one side of the street, “why do we have to

have sidewalks on both sides?” Tom Wilson estimated “if I read right my property taxes would go up 40 to 75 percent.” Another asked why they were going to be assessed on their sidewalks when the residents on Russ Road weren’t on theirs. Tryon and other council members expressed their appreciation for the input they were receiving from residents. In all, more than a dozen residents spoke during the public hearing portion of the meeting, some of them multiple times. Bowers and several council members said they were working to get uniform sidewalks in all areas, primarily for public safety reasons. Tryon added they were trying

to get away from the “hit or miss” sidewalks like those found on North Broadway. Jane Williamson said she understood the reasoning but “if you can’t afford it, you can’t put it on the residents.” Someone in the audience commented, “we can’t afford it either.” Stockslager said he wasn’t against sidewalks, but noted half of the affected residents were on ﬁxed incomes. Council President John Burkett thanked the residents for their input and noted the council has a “heckuva responsibility to the community.” In other business nine ordinances and resolutions were presented to Council. However Coun-

cil members Leon Rogers and Craig Schmidt were absent, leaving only five members. It takes six to suspend the rules and declare an emergency. Seven ordinances/resolutions were given a first reading; Law Director Eric Brand suggested two having to do with November renewal levies for current operating expenses be tabled until the July 15 meeting. One ordinance allowed for $5,000 for Community Event fees to cover the cost of the city’s contribution to the 2014 fireworks display. Some council members expressed concern since the fireworks were scheduled for July 6; however Bowers said he “will handle it.”

Everybody Wins a success GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Darke County Center for the Artsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; initial participation in online cultural marketplace Power2Giveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraising site has accomplished a successful result. DCCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody Winsâ&#x20AC;? project seeking funding for a

summer theater residency by Missoula Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Theatre has reached its goal of $2,500, making up the shortfall usually experienced between the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s costs and income. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are so excited to be fully funded for this meaningful program

which gives local youngsters the opportunity for hands-on performing arts experience,â&#x20AC;? said Andrea Jordan, DCCA Executive Director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The MCT residency has always been a winner in every way, except ďŹ nancially; now thanks to the donations received through Power2Give, everybody wins, including DCCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bottom line!â&#x20AC;? Ms. Jordan explained. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Missoula Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Theatre residency will take place at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville from July 28 through Aug. 2. Students entering grades one through 12 will audition for a fully-staged production of Rapunzel at 10 a.m. on that ďŹ rst day; intensive rehearsals will follow daily throughout the week, and on Saturday, two performances of the show will be presented for the community to enjoy. A grant from Darke County Endowment for the Arts underwrites artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fees for the production, which has in the past attracted participation from scores of

youthful aspiring actors and actresses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;MCTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residency can be depended upon to not only fulďŹ ll the theater companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stated mission of developing lifeskills in children through participation in the performing arts, but also helps DCCA achieve its goal to culturally enrich lives in our community,â&#x20AC;? Ms. Jordan stated. Managed locally by Culture Works, the chief advocate for arts and culture in the Dayton Region, Power2Give was founded in 2011 by the Charlotte, NC Arts and Science Council, and since that time has raised over $4.7 million for 1,950 projects across the country. Participating non-proďŹ t organizations post their proposed projects for 90 days on the Power2Give.org website where prospective donors can examine the list, choose a worthy project, and make their donation. DCCA was one of 35 area organizations participating in the launch of the Dayton Regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Power2Give effort.

Pictured above are Tessa Jobes, Aubrey Kreusch and Kellie Ritz with their plaques for the scholarship.

FCCLA students earn scholarships ARCANUM â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Arcanum FCCLA chapter recently attended the State Leadership Conference in Columbus. The chapter had three students who received Endowment Scholarships ranging from $5003500. Tessa Jobes, daughter of Jeff and Cherie Jobes, Aubrey Kreusch, daughter of Dan and Susan Kreusch and Kellie Ritz, daughter of Roger and Terri Ritz were three senior FCCLA members to

receive the scholarships. Statewide, there were 10 recipients of the FCCLA Endowment. Scholarships were awarded during the State Leadership Conference.

NEW MADISON — The Monsanto Fund has announced the finalists for this year’s America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education grants. From January through March, farmers across the country nominated their local public school districts for the grants. Once nominated, these districts were eligible to submit completed grant applications in April. Over the past month, a panel of educators from ineligible counties reviewed all of the grant applications. The strongest submissions were selected as finalists and will be sent to the America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education Advisory Council for final review. Composed of farmer

leaders from across the U.S. with a vested interest in both agriculture and education, the Advisory Council will select the winning school districts. Locally, Tri-Village Local Schools is in the running for a grant of up to $25,000: The winning grant recipients will be announced in early August. Last year, Grow Rural Education invested $120,000 in public school districts across Ohio to improve math and science curriculum. Since 2012, Ohio school districts have received $215,000 through the program. Grow Rural Education grants have allowed rural schools to invest in the enhancement of student learning in

math and science. Past grant recipients used funding for projects such as technology and sci-

entiﬁc lab equipment upgrades, greenhouses and outdoor classroom learning environ-

ments, teacher and curriculum development and other math and science related initiatives.

This announcement is a continuation of Osgood State Bank’s strategic planning and its management succession planning which focuses on the future growth and profitability of Osgood State Bank. “Tony has the experience and expertise to lead Osgood State Bank into the next decade,” said Monnier. This promotion will allow the CEO to focus his efforts on strategic planning, staff development, and community involvement. These steps are necessary for Osgood State Bank to meet the regulatory challenges currently facing the banking industry.
