Harless remembered Blosser praises man who saved his life RYAN fondly by residents BERRY GREENVILLE – Longtime community servant Dr. Jack Harless passed away on July 13. Dr. Harless was a remarkable person with a long list of accomplishments and was incredibly well-respected.

One of Greenville’s native sons, Harless was born on April 13, 1928 to the late John and Treva Harless. He would later leave the community to serve in the U.S. Navy, but his hometown called him home. He would eventually become a doctor of chiropractic medicine and owner Harless Chiropractic with his son, Patrick.

While many would have been satisfied with the thought of owning a business, Harless went above and beyond to serve his community and to make it a better place for all to live. He served on countless boards and committees for groups and organizations.

Harless was a founding member of Greenville Transit and founding member and past president Greenville Rescue. He was a board member of the Boys and Girls Club, was on the board directors at Treaty City Manor, and past president of the Darke County Metropolitan Housing.

For 30 years, the youth of Darke County got to know Harless in a special way. Not only was he a high school of-

ficial, but also was involved with Greenville Baseball for three decades.

Harless also found time to be a public servant. The dedicated Greenville resident served on Greenville City Council from 19701987 and as Greenville Mayor from 1988-1991.

The list of those remembering Harless with fondness seems to be endless. A few of those recently stated: * Heaven gained a beautiful angel. * Fond memories of mornings getting adjusted and talking basketball with Jack when I was a teenager.

Great man. * He was a most amazing and dedicated doctor.... he brought back my faith in chiropractors after having a terrible experience many years ago. God Bless your family Dr. Jack....

GREENVILLE – The world seemed to disappear as Gaylen Blosser and Frank Davis sat down.

Memories from over 45 years ago rushed into the room and swept over the two Army buddies like waves over sand. It was one story after another in great detail. It was a reunion for two people that were once as close as any two people could possibly be. The two were side-byside for most of their tour in Vietnam – where Davis went, Blosser followed.

Where Davis slept, Blosser occupied the spot next to him. Together, they experienced shear horror, fear and, unfortunately, death.

Davis was Blosser’s company commander and as a radio operator, everywhere Davis went Blosser was required to be by his side. As the two near 50 years in their relationship, Blosser introduces and refers to his commander at Lt. Davis.

Blosser arrived in Vietnam shortly before Davis, but the kinship they formed was unparalleled.

Maybe it was because they were both Ohio boys; separated by just over 100 miles. Blosser grew up in West Liberty and Davis

came from Zanesville.

Davis left Ohio to attend Ball State University where he took a two-year deferment to earn his degree. He fulfilled his draft notice after graduation and was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Army.

When Davis mentioned he taught Pittsburg Steelers running back Rocky Bleier about demolition and explosives at Ft. Gordon, Blosser, chimed in, “Rocky Bleier and I were on the same plane to Vietnam.” That started the conversation where the two veterans forgot there were other people in the room and concentrated on each other as they talked for more than an hour.

Both could remember times, dates, names and events with graphic detail. It was as if they were reliving moments that took place the day before.

Davis explained in that stress you can remember specifics. He compared it to knowing where you were when President Kennedy was shot or when the horrendous events of Sept. 11, 2001 took place.

Blosser is quick to credit Davis with saving his life. Blosser was carrying the radio for another company commander that wasn’t well liked by the soldiers. “He was

hardcore,” said Blosser.

Davis agreed noting the commander was more interested in rank than his people. Because of that dislike, the commander had a price on his head. As the radio operator, Blosser was required to be next to the commander. If the commander was “fragged” Blosser would suffer the same consequences. “I found out about it and I put a kabosh on it,” said Davis. “I think they (soldiers) had enough respect for me. I said it’s not going to happen.”

It was shortly after that when Davis and Blosser were united for good.

Davis had taken over for the previous commander and needed a radio operator. Blosser was recovering from malaria in a Danang hospital, but when he arrived back he was immediately teamed

up with Davis. For the first time since the two met, Blosser learned he was handpicked. Blosser asked, “Did you have to pick me?” Davis responded, “Yes.” “Thank you,” Blosser added.

Davis and Blosser initially reunited in the early 1990s. It was a time when the Internet was still in its infancy and social media was non-existent. Blosser found his company commander the hard way. “I literally made over 100 phone calls to find him,” he said.

The two have had several meetings since and together have visited the families of their comrades that didn’t come home.

Both agree their service isn’t something they would ever want to do again, but they wouldn’t trade that experience for anything.

CareFlight: When every second counts CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

DAYTON - Every second counts when it comes to saving a life. There is no debate in the urgency of providing a critically ill patient the emergency care they require - in as little time as possible. The staff at CareFlight Air and Mobile Services have provided the area with life-saving methods of transport for over 30 years. Flying at speeds of 180 mph (approximately three miles per minute), CareFlight is unmatched in what it takes to give it’s patients a better chance of survival.

Started in 1983, Miami Valley Hospital’s CareFlight has worked closely with local EMS, fire departments, law enforcement and area hospitals - providing the fastest air medical transport in the region.

Also providing services for such emergencies as heart attacks, strokes and transporting critical patients from one medical facility to another, most people are familiar with the helicopter flying overhead, en route to a serious motor vehicle accident.

“We are our busiest dur-

ing the spring and summer months. As more people are on the roadways during the warmer months, unfortunately there are a lot more crashes that require CareFlight services,” said CareFlight Outreach Manager and Flight Nurse, Mandy Via. “We definitely are called to Darke County quite often during the year.

Fortunately, Darke County has many experienced EMTs and fire personnel that do a lot to help make our response and transport run as smoothly as possible.”

When a serious crash is called into the Darke County 911 center, dispatchers can make the call to put CareFlight in the air or on standby...depending on how serious the injuries sound over the phone. Once first-responders arrive on scene, they can then update to the severity of the injuries and request CareFlight to the scene - if still on standby. When CareFlight is put on standby, the flight crew, which consists of a pilot and two flight nurses, will make their inspections as the pilot gets the helicopter started up. The chopper will remain on the helipad, awaiting further instruction to launch and go en route to

the scene or disregard.

Once in the air, the flight crew works closely with the Communication Center, based at Miami Valley Hospital, to ensure all safety protocols are followed and are aware of any approaching weather that may effect the flight in any way. As the helicopter nears the crash scene, the flight crew will communicate with fire department personnel on the ground about landing zone location and conditions.

“The flight nurses know nothing about the patients’ condition or details of the crash prior to landing. This keeps their focus solely on safety while flying,” Via explained. “Once the heli-

copter is on the ground, the focus then quickly shifts to the patient(s).”

With a staff medical director, Andrew Hawk, MD, flight nurses are provided experienced resources, as well as, extensive training and education to handle just about any medical emergency scenario imaginable. Armed with the latest technology, including night vision goggles worn by the flight crew after dark, CareFlight can respond 24 hours a day from one of it’s three area locations that service approximately 30 counties and a 150 mile radius.

“We utilize CareFlight for significant traumas,

heart attacks and other medical emergencies,” stated Greenville Township Rescue Assistant Chief Brian Phillips. “CareFlight is the fastest and safest way to get our patients to the care they need...which is often the difference between life and death.”

“We are fortunate to have CareFlight so close to Darke County,” added New Madison Fire Chief Robert “Scoob” Cook.

Each of the four CareFlight helicopters in operation are equipped to transport up to two patients if necessary. When weather conditions grounds one or more of the “birds”, CareFlight has six mobile intensive care units (MICU) ready at a moments notice to rendezvous with EMS. Trauma patients transported by CareFlight’s air or ground units are usually taken to Miami Valley Hospital, which is the region’s only Level 1 Trauma Center. There, the patient(s) will be provided the highest level of care and undergo life-saving emergency surgery, if needed.

“Our flight staff are constantly updating the Communication Center on the patient’s condition en route back to the Valley (Miami

Valley Hospital),” further explained Via. “This communication is key in getting a trauma team ready and the patient can be in emergency surgery within minutes.”

Once a patient is on the road to recovery, flight nurses normally always follow-up and see how the patient is doing. The visit gives the patient a chance to ask questions about their care and the flight nurse an update on their condition.

“Seeing a patient we may have thought shouldn’t have survived back with their family and friends enjoying life is definitely why we do this job,” concluded Via. In addition to providing life-saving services, the CareFlight outreach program gives ongoing education and training to local EMS and fire departments, and gets out into the community through such programs as DriveSmart.

Combined with speed, technology and a highly trained, experienced medical staff, the survival rate of any patient is taken to new heights when CareFlight is on the scene.

Commissioners approve 2017 budget

BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com DARKE COUNTY – Darke County Commissioners on Wednesday approved the 2017 general fund budget, as proposed by county auditor Carol Ginn.

The estimated appropriations for 2017 were approved at $19,639,952.13, which shows a slight decrease below the 2016 actual appropriations, which were $20,451,047.03.

The 2017 estimate does not reflect the county’s insurance costs, Ginn said.

“So depending on insurance, appropriations may

reach $20,000,000,” Ginn said. “It’s (insurance) always an unknown.”

Ginn also told commissioners beginning in July 2017, the county would begin to experience a loss from the Ohio Medicaid sales tax, which will total between $500,000$600,000.

According to information provided by Ginn’s office, in 2005, Ohio began charging taxes on health-related services provided by Medicaid care organizations in order to take advantage of federal matching funds. Ohio began charging a 5.5 percent franchise tax until federal officials stated in 2009 the tax was not permissible. At that time, former Governor Ted Strickland switched it to a sales tax.

In July 2014, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) advised state Medicaid directors that “taxing a subset of health care providers at the same rate as a statewide sales tax” is subject to the definition of a health care related tax and not permissible. Further, CMS gave states “until the end of the next regular legislative session” to comply, which for Ohio is June 30, 2017.

All Ohio’s counties will be impacted by this loss of revenue.

“Will there be a replacement for it is still an unknown,” Ginn said.

tice was posted on a nail at a residence in the 500 block of East Third Street, in reference to old furniture laying out in the yard. Safety Service Director Curt Garrison was notified.

Forgery

On July 9 an officer was dispatched to Greenville National Bank on West Fourth Street in reference to Matthew Unger cashing two Social Security checks, which had been issued to his deceased grandfather.

The bank provided the officer with copies of the checks, a copy of Unger’s driver’s license, which was made when he cashed the checks, and the obituary of the deceased. The checks were dated March 1, 2016 and March 3, 2016. A records check confirmed the grandfather died Feb. 19, 2016. It is believed the suspect located the checks and forged the signature of the deceased in order to cash them. Paperwork provided by the bank was placed into the case file.

A witness statement was left for the bank teller to complete.

Animal problem

On July 8 an officer was dispatched to the 1200 block of Holly Hill in reference to a dog at-large.

Upon arrival, the officer saw a medium black pit bull running around the yard. The complainant advised the officer the dog belonged to a resident in

the 1100 block of Howard Drive. The dog had gotten out through the bottom of the back fence. The officer noticed a spot in the fence large enough for the dog to get through. There was a leash attached to a tree in the back yard of the Howard Drive property.

The end of the leash had broken. The officer was able to reattach the hook to the end of the leash and hook the dog’s collar to the leash. The dog did not have registration tags.

The officer attempted to make contact with the dog’s owner, Katina (no last name in report) but was unable to do so. According to the report, the owner had been warned in reference to dogs at-large on May 16. The owner will be issued another citation for dogs at-large.

UNION CITY, Ind. – The Union City Indiana Police Department (UCIPD) and the Wesley United Methodist Church hosted the 2nd annual Thin Blue Line Youth Camp this week.

The Christian-based camp was held from Tuesday to Thursday in Union City’s Harter Park.

Nearly 40 campers learned about what it takes to make a positive impact on their community and ways to be a good citizen.

The camp included safety and tactical demonstrations from the Union City Fire/Rescue and Police departments. The campers also helped plant trees around the new Union City Emergency Services rock monument at Harter Park.

“These kids will think

back to helping plant the trees when they see the rock in the future,” said UCIPD Assistant Chief Bill Bradbury.

The campers and volunteers spent two nights together outdoors at Harter Park, complete with campfires, movies and more. On Thursday, everyone enjoyed a morning of fun activities before heading home.

The camp’s theme, ways to be a good citizen, promoted the following values: volunteer, be honest & trustworthy, follow rules & laws, respect others rights & property, be informed, be compassionate, take responsibility, be a good neighbor and protect the environment.

“Camp went very well…

ON YOUR MIND

Tribute to Jack Harless

BY DR. STEPHEN GRUBER

This is being written as a tribute letter for Jack Harless. I have never written such a letter before and I am certain Jack would be wondering why I would start now by eulogizing him. You see, Jack did not think that he had done anything in his life that was all that special.

Any attempt to have a conversation about him and his many contributions to his hometown or the wellbeing of its citizens would have met with him desperately wanting to change the subject. Conversations with Jack would be about you and your family and “how is everybody doing?” or “what can I do to help you?” At his core Jack just wanted to help people and to serve people.

I am sure that I will not be able to comprehensively list here all of his good deeds and accomplishments. I just hope that people will read this letter and reflect on the specific kindnesses or acts of generosity that he did on their behalf and then seek to pass them on to others.

I know that Jack served his country in the military as part of the “greatest generation” but that’s all I know.

He was not interested in reciting war stories unless they in some humorous, self-deprecating way would elicit a laugh at his expense.

As a doctor of chiropractic I know that Jack was not always respected by the local medical community.

But that did not stop him from trying to help people by using his hands to restore the body in such a way that it could begin to heal itself. Several times my back would spasm which caused me to be in severe pain. I would drag myself into to see Jack scarcely

able to stand. He would go to work on my neck and my shoulders relaxing my twisted spine before adjusting me, the whole time asking me about Christa and the kids. His office waiting room was always full of student athletes who needed a free physical or free treatment of an athletic injury or adults who needed help but could not pay. Jack’s practice was not about seeing how much money can I make but rather how many people can I help.

Others are better qualified to speak about Jack’s leadership of the Greenville Boys Baseball Association.

Countless boys grew up playing on ball diamonds that he helped to create and to know the joy of hitting a ball and the feeling of belonging to a team.

Jack gave of his time and leadership to serving his town as a member of council and later as mayor.

His relaxed, unassuming style, disarmed those who would take themselves too seriously. His positions on issues and his decisions were grounded firmly on what was best for Greenville and what was best for people. People may not have always agreed with Jack but his care and concern for them as an individual was never in doubt.

You could be upset or angry with Jack but he would not hold that against you in any future dealings. Jack’s finger prints will remain on so many things and so many people around our town for many years to come.

Those who knew Jack Harless will say that he was no saint and to that I would say he never wanted to be.

He just wanted to be Jack.

Mr. Mayor, my wife and I thank you for being you.

Don’t force women into combat roles WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Warren Davidson issued the following statement regarding the issue on whether women should be required to register for Selective Service.

“Many Americans are unaware that Congress is considering requiring our daughters to register for Selective Service. Congress should not require our nation’s daughters, some of whom have no interest in the military, especially in combat roles, to register for the Selective Service.

Families and young women in particular, have had limited knowledge and input regarding what could become yet another edict from Washington.

The draft is specifically for the purpose of filling combat roles. Questions remain about the impact of training standards and unit effectiveness of the decision to open up all combat jobs to women.

Rather than focus on a mission to fight and win our nation’s wars, the Obama Administration

has overtly pursued an effort to make the Department of Defense America’s most progressive workforce.

The passage of my Amendment to H.R. 5485, the Financial Services Appropriations bill for Fiscal Year 2017, asserts Congress’s Article 1 Section 8 authority to raise and support armies by preventing the Executive or the Judiciary from unilaterally deciding women aged 18-26 must register for the draft.

Congress must have a full and open debate on this issue, and preempt Executive or Judicial overreach on yet another topic vital to families and our nation’s security.”

Representing the 8th District of Ohio, Warren Davidson is a former Army Ranger and spent 15 years starting and growing manufacturing companies. He serves on the House Science and Technology Committee and House Small Business Committee and is a member of the House Freedom Caucus.

I don’t want to brag, but I’m on Level 2 Ryan’s World

by Ryan Berry Managing Editor bluebagmedia.com

RYAN BERRY

Have you caught MANAGING your first Pidgey orEDITOR Metapod?

If you have no idea what those are then you probably aren’t as cool as me.

When I say cool what I really mean is nerdy. The only reason I even know what they are is because I am raising two nerds and my oldest nerd brings her nerdy boyfriend (or nerdfriend) over to the house.

Yes, my wife and I are raising Pokémon Go fanatics (what I really mean is lunatics).

For those with their head buried in the sand the past week or two, Pokémon Go is the latest fad sweeping the nation.

This mobile app is getting Pokémon aficionados off their couches and encouraging them to discover their towns. I’m not really sure how much of the town you can discover with your head down looking at your phone.

Maybe they can go back and look at the pictures of the Pokémon they captured to see where they were.

Many of these gamers are discovering that bright orange-yellowish ball of gas most of us know as the sun. They are using their legs to walk more than a few feet to the kitchen or bathroom. They are walking miles in order to level up and collect as many Pokémon as they can. For some, this is the first time they’ve had real exercise, or if you will, nerdercise.

The game has had its share of success. A dead body has been found by a gamer searching for Pokémon. There are also a few witty players. Like the one who took control of the Pokémon gym at the Westboro Baptist Church (the one infamous for bashing homosexuals). He named the pink Clefairy at the gym Love is Love.

Gamers getting their nerdercise should also be cautious for more than the obvious reason – looking down at your phone while crossing the street

to get to the Pokémon you just spotted. There was a report of armed robbers luring individuals to an area and then doing what armed robbers tend to do.

Pokémon Go also had a tinge of controversy when the Holocaust Museum and the museum at Ground Zero asked the game makers to take them off the list of places where the cartoon characters can be found. It is probably not a good idea to be getting excited about capturing a Pokémon and shouting “Yahoo” in a place that is a memorial for mass murder.

As for my family of nerds, they are looking for the colorful characters with weird names everywhere. We were driving home from Troy and from the backseat I hear my oldest daughter yell, “Stop!” There was a Pokémon training center at a church in Pleasant Hill.

As I passed the church she politely asked if I would turn around. I politely declined.

There is a huge nerdnetwork (nerdwork for

short) of players telling other players where they can find Pokémon. When a co-worker shared there are at least seven Pokémon Stops along Broadway in Greenville I tried to be sarcastic when I texted my oldest nerd and told her the news. The sarcasm in my text went unnoticed. I got the reply, “Yessssssss!” She and her nerdfriend immediately planned a trip to visit historic downtown Greenville.

I haven’t told this to anybody, but I secretly downloaded the game.

I wanted to see what it was all about. It took me 45-minutes to figure out how to sign-up. I kept getting a message they were limiting the number of sign-ups because of the tremendous volume of players and I should try back in an hour. Now that I have it, I have no idea what to do with it. I visited a Pokémon Stop and just stared at my phone for about a minute before I went home. On the bright side, I did capture two Pokémon. I don’t want to brag, but I’m on level 2.

Protecting pastors and public officials T h e U n i t e d States Sup r e m e Court made a landmark deciJIM BUCHY sion this OHIO past year REPRESENTATIVE to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide. This ruling has led some leaders to introduce reactionary legislation that will either open Ohio’s doors to gay marriage or result in a tangled legal mess for Ohio’s taxpayers. I plan to maintain my position in opposition to forcing anyone to perform a union they disagree with on any grounds.

Persons entering into same-sex marriages should not be discriminated against, and those who are against it should not be forced to change

their beliefs on the matter. I don’t believe anyone should ever have to compromise their beliefs or be discriminated against for standing by them. This is why I am in favor of keeping Ohio law in place to protect a pastor’s and public official’s right to refrain from performing a marriage ceremony contrary to their beliefs.

We must continue to address the same-sex marriage issue in Ohio, but we must be clear about the consequences that could happen if a bill was passed to confront this issue. A bill, if not properly scrutinized, could 425 Memorial Dr. Greenville, OH 45331

send marriage backward in Ohio by limiting rights that pastors and other offices already have. It is already a common practice for pastors to choose who they marry, and we must ensure that we avoid any action that would invalidate that discretion, even if unintentional.

Under no circumstances should an individual or organization be forced to participate in a marriage that goes against their beliefs whether they are a pastor, public official, business owner, or religious organization.

One of our basic rights as Americans is freedom of

religion and no court ruling should ever limit that ability, even for public servants.

We need to consider comprehensive reform of marriage in Ohio to ensure that all parties are properly protected under the law. While we remain firm on our beliefs, we must also protect the rights of pastors, public officials, and others to stand strong behind their convictions.

The ladies met in 2012 during the University of Beaufort’s production of The Honky Tonk Angels, for which the music was directed by Smith. They

formed The Sweetgrass Angels after the success of that musical and are currently rehearsing for the September production of the musical 9 to 5. They specialize in classic three-part harmonies singing a wide variety of music genres from the 1940s through current favorites.

The couple would then move just down the road, where they still reside today, to raise turkeys and eventually three children. Eldest daughter Edna, married to Mike Carrico, resides in Lightsville, son Barry

and his wife Mary reside in Union City along with youngest daughter, Janice, who is married to John Winger.

In conjunction with raising and hauling turkeys, Jake worked at both Back Stay Weld and Body Company over the years in Union City, Ohio. Marion also worked on the farm and then worked at Back Stay Weld and also at FRAM in Greenville.

Until recently, the couple spent their winters in Thonotosassa, Fla. They have eight grandchildren, Dale (Jennifer),

Exercise Is the Fountain of Youth

A few weeks ago, I was stopped while at a local home improvement store by the husband of a friend.

He wanted to know at what age does the brain start to have trouble knowing where your feet are when going up and down steps.

This gentleman takes care of himself, is very physically active, and is middle –aged but catches himself looking at his feet more often than he used to as he navigates steps. He doesn’t have vision or inner ear issues, either (both can contribute to balance problems). This set me on a quest to ďŹ nd the answer. He was more concerned with what to do to counter it.

The short answer is: Exercise. At whatever age you are, resistance training and movement help to offset the inevitable effects of aging that affect us all – stumbling, slowing down, falling, shortness of breath.

Of course, medical diagnoses (including certain medications) can cause physical effects of their own. Those on beta blockers know that walking up and down the steps is more of a challenge because that medication prevents the heart from beating too fast (and for good reason, since beta blockers are prescribed for a variety of conditions).

We live in an age where

Diana Unger

Personal Trainer more people are exercising later in life. As I take my daily walks, there are many people in my community in the senior citizen population that walk around to stay active. It is a great way to get movement and fresh air, and I highly recommend it. It also helps offset the problem my friend’s husband asked me about with respect to knowing where the feet are in space as you move around.

More frequently, reputable scientiďŹ c studies are being published, showing the positive impact exercising has on an aging population. Aside from getting into the size clothes that we want, there are many reasons to exercise. Here are just a few: Exercise can lower blood pressure.

Some years ago, it was thought that strength training was a bad idea for those that are

Did you know?

Singing is good for your health If you sing along to songs in the car or belt out a few tunes in the shower, you may be doing yourself quite a bit of good. Various formal and informal studies point to singing as a great way to boost both mental and physical health. Though the people around you may prefer you not belt out a few tunes, there are numerous reasons to sing and sing often.

Evidence points to singing as having psychological beneďŹ ts, and singing also increases oxygenation in the bloodstream. Professor Graham Welch, Chair of Music Education at the Institute of Education, University of London, has studied the developmental and medical aspects of singing for more than 30 years. Welch consistently advocates for singing, saying it can serve as an aerobic activity that promotes a healthy heart.

Singing can help to alleviate stress by releasing oxytocin, a natural stress reliever, into the blood.

Stress has a number of adverse effects, and any steps taken to help relieve stress

can lighten one’s mood and release tension.

Singing, particularly group singing, can lessen feelings of depression and loneliness. In their paper “Psychological and physiological effects of singing in a choir,� researchers at the Abant Izzet Baysal University in Turkey noted that singing relieves anxiety and contributes to quality of life.

Group singing may sync the heart rates of participants and could actually serve as a type of guided group meditation.

Yet another study, this one from researchers in the Department of Music at the University of ShefďŹ eld in the United Kingdom, indicated that you don’t even have to be a good singer to reap the beneďŹ ts of singing.

The study found that singing “can produce satisfying and therapeutic sensations even when the sound produced by the vocal instrument is of mediocre quality.â€? That means no one need be afraid of singing their favorite songs, even if they fall out of tune. The beneďŹ ts can be worth the few awkward glances that come your way.

trying to work on lowering their blood pressure. However, a recent study conducted on a group of men who had stage 1 hypertension showed that there are improvements in blood pressure with weight training (“Effect of 12 weeks of resistance exercise on post-exercise hypotension in stage 1 hypertensive individualsâ€?. J Hum Hypertens. 2011 Jul 7. doi: 10.1038/jhh.2011.67). Of course, check with your physician ďŹ rst because they know your medical history. This is exciting news, though, because there are many beneďŹ ts to different types of exercise, and resistance training can help all of us maintain strength for independence as we age.

Lower blood pressure also helps to protect our eyesight since several conditions causing blindness are affected by high blood pressure such as glaucoma and macular degeneration.

Exercise can improve memory as we age. In a study published in The Journal of Aging Research (J Aging Res. 2013;2013:861893. doi: 10.1155/2013/861893.

Epub 2013 Feb 24. “Physical activity improves verbal and spatial memory in older adults with probable mild cognitive impairment: a 6-month randomized controlled trial�), results indicated that brisk walks

and weight training helped improve different types of memory in women ages 7080 who already had mild cognitive impairment. In a six month period, women who only stretched or did “toning� exercises had lost more of their memory versus the women who either briskly walked or did weight training. Basically, the results of this study indicate that doing both aerobic (or endurance type activities like swimming, walking, biking, etc.) plus weight training may actually improve memory as we age.

Exercise can help to prevent falls. Whether it is because of improved bone density or simply stronger and more exible soft tissue, exercise can improve the body’s ability to stay upright and prevent us from stumbling over obstacles. Since we know we lose speed, exibility, and strength simply because we get older (from about age 40 on), incorporating a minimum of two days a week of strength training, some kind of endurance exercise (like a brisk walk) most days of the week, and some purposeful stretching can offset some of those effects of age-related muscle loss. The stronger your body is, the less likely trips and falls will be in your future.

Remember to check

Exercise is an important component of a healthy lifestyle. Many people establish bold ďŹ tness goals with a mind toward getting in shape. It’s tempting to jump right in, especially when friends or relatives reach their own ďŹ tness goals. However, inactive men and women risk injury when diving right in and not taking a gradual approach to ďŹ tness and weight loss regimens. To reap the most rewards from exercise, take the proper precautions and follow these guidelines. ¡ Speak with your doctor before beginning an exercise regimen. Get medical clearance before you begin a new exercise regimen, especially if you have any preexisting medical conditions. Your doctor may suggest certain modiďŹ cations that can reduce strain on certain parts of the body or advise you on the most effective activities for people with your condition. Healthy individuals may be cleared outright and can begin their ďŹ tness regimens immediately. It’s also wise to inform doctors of ďŹ tness plans and goals so they can help track your progress. ¡ Don’t eat heavy meals before exercising. Avoid large meals before engaging in strenuous physical activity. A light, healthy snack gives you a little fuel without affecting your ability to exercise. After eating, the body diverts blood ow to the gastrointestinal tract to aid with digestion. Exercising while this blood ow

is centralized in the gastrointestinal tract may cause muscle cramps or generalized weakness. Nutrition experts at the University of California, Los Angeles, say that people who exercise strenuously on a full stomach also may experience reux, hiccups, nausea, and vomiting. Wait at least an hour after eating full meals to exercise. ¡ Warm up. It’s important to warm up muscles before beginning a workout. Stretches, light movements and range of motion exercises can improve exibility and prepare the body for more to come. If muscles aren’t fully stretched and warm, injuries like strains and tendon tears may occur. Take the time to warm up; otherwise, you may ďŹ nd yourself on the sidelines. ¡ Wear the appropriate equipment. Invest in quality athletic shoes and other equipment made for the activity you will be performing. The right equipment can help prevent injury.

Athletic shoes that fail to provide adequate support can increase your risk of injury. Good shoes do not have to cost a fortune, as there are plenty of brands that will work quite well. If you need suggestions, discuss your exercise regimen and goals with a podiatrist or orthopedist. Orthotic inserts can be used to modify footwear and provide additional support. You also may need equipment speciďŹ c to a given activity. For example, wrist supports and quality gloves are es-

This time of year, we grow a lot of vegetables. Swiss Chard is a favorite of mine. Because it is a big leafy green, it is chock full of nutrients like Vitamin A, which is great for eye health. This is a “lettuce wraps� recipe, but with Swiss Chard. You can substitute any sturdy, big leafy green that you like.

3-4 big leaves of Swiss Chard per person (cleaned) 1 lb lean ground meat, cooked & drained (ground turkey, beef or chicken are good options) 2 tablespoons taco or fajita seasoning (I choose a blend with no sugar) Chopped bell peppers (any color) Chopped tomatoes Cubes or slices of fresh avocado Mix the taco/fajita seasoning in with the cooked/drained ground meat. Add a tablespoon of water if it is a bit dry.

Place the leaves of Swiss Chard on a large plate. Layer the following on each leaf: ground meat, bell peppers, tomatoes, avocado. Hold the leaf like a taco and eat it. Be adventurous and add your own favorite vegetables and seasonings. The possibilities are endless. Enjoy!

And it’s never too late to start an exercise program.

sential for kickboxing classes. Speak with a trainer or gym employee if you need assistance. ¡ Take weather into consideration. Ice, snow, rain, and wind can make jogging or other outdoor activities more challenging, if not dangerous. Always exercise caution when your workout regimen involves exercising outdoors. Stay indoors if you see thunder and lightning. ¡ Stay hydrated. The Better Health Channel of the Victoria State Government says a person can lose around one and a half liters of uid for every hour of exercise. Drink water before, during and after each

exercise session. If you need water while exercising, take small sips. ¡ Be aware of your body.

Take notice of how you feel. If something doesn’t feel just right, then stop immediately, rest and/or seek medical attention. ¡ Pace yourself and take the time to rest. Don’t try to do everything all at once. Slowly build up your durability and stamina by gradually increasing the intensity of your workouts.

Give yourself time to recover between workouts as well.

Exercise is a key part of a healthy lifestyle. Remember to do so safely and effectively

Boli recalls days as a Miami cheerleader

BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – A lot has changed during the past 72 years, since Lousie Boli cheered for Miami University in Oxford.

Boli, who just celebrated her 92nd birthday, cheered for what was then the Miami Redskins from 1942-46, and began a family tradition – her daughter Mary Ann Packo and niece, Sarah Darkow later came to be members of the cheer squad at Miami.

“It really was a lot of fun,” Boli said during a recent morning stop at The Coffee Pot – one of her favorite spots in downtown Greenville.

“You could meet a lot of boys that way.”

Boli started her cheerleading career for the former Franklin Township High School’s basketball team. Franklin Township School later consolidated with Monroe Township to become today’s FranklinMonroe. “We hated Monroe then,” said Boli, laughing at the memories.

Boli also recalls she was among one of the first female cheerleaders at Miami University. “There

weren’t too many girls on the cheerleading squad before that time. Previously they were all boys,” she said.

The inclusion of girls on college cheer squads became prevalent during the 1940s, since college-age young men were serving their country.

With the United States entering World War II, meeting boys at Miami U became difficult.

“Miami had a couple Army programs at the time, so there were men on campus. But I remember lots of girls crying when their boyfriends were leaving” for service in the Armed Forces.

Although Boli doesn’t remember any particular cheers she learned at Miami, she does remember using a megaphone – “that was almost as big as me,” she notes looking at a photo of herself in her very modest Miami cheerleading outfit. “It looks like I’m getting ready to go to a dance,” Boli laughs.

She also remembers doing cartwheels and jumps – and wearing saddle shoes instead of gym-type shoes with her cheerleading outfit.

Cheerleading today has evolved into a more physical and technical routine.

“It’s a lot like gymnastics,” Boli said, explaining that

Louise Boli, 92, of Greenville was a Miami University cheerleader from 1942-46.

watching her cheerleading niece Sarah, who graduated from Miami in 2013, was an eye-opener.

“I’d like to think everyone thinks I did all that other stuff,” she said. “But I didn’t.”

While at Miami, Boli earned a degree in education, teaching English and business courses for

fluenced by the American West. Native Ohio composer Clare Grundman used melodies from cowboy songs to construct his American Folk Rhapsody No. 3. The West has always been a popular subject for motion pictures, and the band’s performance of “They Went That-A-Way,” will include themes from movies such as The Magnificent Seven, Blazing Saddles and How the West was Won. The band will also perform John Williams’ music for the 1972 John Wayne movie The Cowboys. This movie represented one of Williams’ earliest efforts at composing for the movies. The band will pay tribute to the country and western genre with the song that started a line dancing craze, “Boot Scootin’ Boogie.”

A trombone trio, made up of Brian McKibben, Ken Heinlen and Brad Spettel, will be featured on “All Aboard.” “All Aboard” is light hearted version of the spiritual “This Train is Bound for Glory.”

The band is well known for its performance of traditional march music.

Marches scheduled to be performed on Sunday’s concert include “Sabre

and Spurs” by John Phillip Sousa, “Black Jack March”

by Fred Huffer, “Belleau Wood” by John Edmondson and “Stars and Stripes Forever” by Sousa.

Concert goers can be looking ahead to Sunday, July 24 and the first performance of the season by the Greenville Municipal Big Band. The big band will be under the direction of JR Price and will be playing jazz and swing favorites.

a couple years, she said at New Madison and then at Fairview High School in Dayton.

She came back home to Greenville in the early 1950s, to take a job at one of the city’s newest production facilities.

“FRAM was just opening in Greenville from Rhode Island. I took an office job.

It was a great way to meet people,” Boli said.

Many local residents also will remember Boli working for about 15 years with Treaty Travel in Greenville.

Boli also was active in the community, especially with the Medical Auxiliary, as the wife of local physician, the late Dr. V. Ray Boli, who passed away in 2002.

The two met at a former dance hall, which at the time was located in Greenville Park, Boli remembers.

“He was a Columbia grad. He saw me dancing and asked me to dance. And he didn’t even know how,” she said. “But he did dance at our girls’ weddings.”

The couple raised three daughters – all graduates of Greenville High School - Mary Ann Packo of Manhattan, New York, class of 1973; Jane Komasara of Columbus, Class of 1975; and Nancy Thruston of Bellbrook, Class of 1977. Boli

also has two grandsons.

Packo said the decision to attend Miami University was natural. “A lot of our family went to Miami.

Growing up, we went to all the football games. It was a family tradition and was the only school I applied to,” she explained.

Packo, who earned a degree in 1977 from Miami in retailing, said the cheer squad was just starting gymnastic-type routines while she was a cheerleader.

Boli credits her active lifestyle for her longevity.

Up until age 70 she was an active tennis player. “I just love playing tennis,” Boli said.

Today, Boli enjoys staying active by meeting up with friends for luncheons, says her caretaker Jenny Sackett; having coffee at the Coffee Pot where she’s sure to see someone she knows or knows her, and touching base with friends.

Greenville Power of the Past a record setter

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Power of the Past saw a record number featured tractors on the grounds for the 2016 show.

The John Deere Company took the honor with 201 John Deere tractors at the event surpassing the previous record of 192 tractors.

“We have the most feature tractors…we have 201 John Deere that are officially on the grounds,” said event PA announcer Rick Brewer. “There are probably more. The last record was 192, so we set a new record for at least the feature tractors.”

Family Health expands

GREENVILLE – Family Health is temporarily re-locating its Behaviorall Health and Wellness Department.

Due to remarkable growth in service expansion and staff, the department is moving its operations to the Reid Specialty building next to Family Health’s Greenville site, beginning July 18.

“The move will provide space for the addition of psychiatry staff, expanded counseling and support services, in conjunction with the development of its Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH),” according to Dr. Laurie White, program director. “We are not joining the Reid Health system. We are merely leasing space from them until a new facility is constructed to house the full spectrum of our behavioral health, wellness, and care management services.”

The new address at the Reid Health building is 1101 Jackson Street. The Behavioral Health and Wellness

“Very pleased,” said Don Marchal of Versailles, a 19-year Power of the Past board member. “The weather gave us a break and we have a real good feature with the green and yellow tractors. People came out for them.”

As with all board members, the 79-year old Marchal was busy tending to his duties at the four-day event.

“I’ve been taking care of parking tractors for 17-years,” said Marchal.

“Help people place their tractors… that and take care of the gas pump and if there is a job someplace,

Department will be located in the second office on the left, Suite C, after entering the front door. There will eb signs posted on the outside and inside of the building to direct patients. The phone number will remain the same at 547-23219.

“Despite our move to a new location, we will continue to offer the same quality services and exceptional staff, in a warm and friendly environment,” White said.

“We are committed to going to ‘extra mile’ in making this transition as smooth and as comfortable as possible for our patients.”

Those interested in Behavioral Health and Wellness services may contact the front desk staff at 5472319 for information or to schedule an appointment.

“We are excited to partner with our patients and community in this new venture as we journey forward toward fulfilling our mission on building healthy lives together,” White said.

you just do it.”

Long time PA announcer Rick Brewer of Greenville was at his mic keeping visitors informed of each day’s events while often sharing bits of information of our “power of the past”.

“This is a really big show, a nice show,” said Brewer. “One of the things we pride ourselves, and the county needs to be proud of, we have one of the nicest fairgrounds in the state.”

“The majority of the tractors are in the shade,” continued Brewer. “There are many shows where they are out in the middle of a field in the hot sun.

It’s a drawing card for us.

It has helped us secure other national and regional shows coming here. It’s wonderful with the paved driveways and all the features we have.”

Marchal agrees the local fairgrounds is an excellent

venue for the Power of the Past.

“Everybody seems to enjoy it… very good crowds,” said Marchal. “I’ve had people come up to me and say this is a good show.”

With the Greenville Power of the Past outdrawing many county fairs, the board is looking to 2017 and beyond bringing our farming history to the local area and allowing old friends to meet once again.

“For one week a year all the members are all best of friends,” Brewer said.

“That is kinda unique.

I don’t see them for 51weeks, but this week we are all best of friends… sit and visit and have a good time.”

“We have already started on next year,” concluded Brewer. “We have three national shows coming in…we have them planned out for several years.”

Frantz, Pleiman take prize with most votes

Shown are doctors and staff at Reid Health in Greenville.

Reid Health sponsors Gathering at Garst GREENVILLE – Reid Health proudly sponsors 2016’s Gathering at Garst. Since opening their doors for service in 2015, Reid Health has become an invaluable health service in Darke and surrounding counties.

The Gathering at Garst wants to publicly thank

Reid Health for their generous support of this community minded summer event. The Gathering at Garst takes place on the lawn behind the Garst Museum on July 30 and 31.

More information can be found at www.gatheringatgarst.com.

ReidRide will fund shoes for kids RICHMOND, Ind. – Approximately 1,000 bicyclists are expected to pedal for a cause – funding shoes for kids – when they join in the annual ReidRide on July 23, organizers at Reid Health said.

To date, over 12,000 shoes have been distributed thanks to funds raised by the annual ride. Officials at Reid Health hope that 2016 will break all previous records. ReidRide will allow cyclists to travel either 22 or 43 miles through scenic Wayne County, Ind. The 22/43 mile ride begins at 7:30 a.m. at Reid Health main campus, 1100 Reid Parkway.

Registration will be from 6:30-7:15 a.m., allowing riders ample time to listen to music provided

by Kicks 96. The entry fee

is $20 – but you can add additional increments of $20, as desired. Each $20 secures one pair of shoes for a child. In order to ensure the shoes are distributed to children and families who truly have a need, Reid partners with the Salvation Army, House of Ruth, Graceworks Lutheran Services and Wayne County CIS (Communities in Schools) coordinators.

Last year, over 740 cyclists turned out for the ride. In addition to riders, Reid is also seeking the helping hands of volunteers along the route.

Those interested in helping at the various check points can volunteer by emailing: ReidFoundation@ReidHealth.org.

Once the riders have completed their 22 or 43

VERSAILLES – The votes are in, and Duck® brand is excited to announce Noah Pleiman and Jenna Frantz of Versailles, as the 2016 Stuck at Prom® Scholarship Contest Grand Prize winners. After receiving the most votes from the public, Pleiman and Frantz each earn $10,000 in scholarship dollars.

“To combat surging college tuition rates, scholarships are an essential solution for students and their families, and every little bit helps,” said Ashley Luke, category manager at ShurTech Brands, LLC, the company that markets the Duck® brand.

“We are thrilled to award all the winners who spent countless hours creating their amazing designs with more than $50,000 in scholarship money, and hope this prize money can help them continue to achieve their dreams.”

The Versailles duo spent 207 hours fashioning the perfect prom attire out of 39 rolls of Duck Tape®, and danced the night away in a color-coordinated lavender ensemble, inspired by Paris. Jenna’s mermaidstyle gown was covered in beautiful Duck Tape® flowers, and Noah’s bold Duck Tape® tuxedo even incorporated Duck Glitter® crafting tape.

For the past 16 years, Duck® brand has challenged students in the United States and Canada to create the ultimate prom outfits from Duck Tape® for a chance to win scholarship dollars as part of the Stuck at Prom® Scholarship Contest, and in turn

has awarded more than $350,000 to help offset rising college costs. This year, nearly 150 hopeful students submitted their looks to be judged by a panel on workmanship, originality, use of colors, accessories and use of Duck Tape® for a chance at more than $50,000 in scholarship dollars. The Top 10 couples and top 5 singles entrants then entered a competitive online voting period where the public voted for the best design, and this year, Noah and Jenna rocked the vote.

“This year’s winning couple is yet another example of the limitless amount of creativity, originality and innova-

tion we’ve seen from the thousands of high school students who have created Duck Tape® prom outfits over the past 16 years,” said Luke.

Visit stuckatprom. com to see the entire 2016 Stuck at Prom® Scholarship Contest gallery and learn more about the winning couples. For more information on Duck Tape® and to get inspired with craft ideas and instructions, visit www.duckbrand. com.

Downey retires after a 30-plus year career with city

BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – Vaughn Downey’s last day with the Greenville Wastewater Treatment plant ended a more than 60-year family tradition working for the city. “It’s one proud thing,�

Downey said this week – two weeks after his last day on the job as superintendent of the wastewater plant.

Downey’s father, Art Downey, worked for 30 years with the city’s water treatment plant. Their years overlapped prior to Art’s retirement. “We had a joke. My dad would send it out and I’d take it in,� Downey said of the roles he and his dad had with the city’s water supply.

Downey began his career with the wastewater plant on Dec. 26, 1984.

For the past 10 years he’s served as the plant’s superintendent. His last day on the job was June 30.

Downey oversaw many improvements to the city’s wastewater treatment

Vaughn Downey

procedures and facility, including upgrades to include biological treatment instead of the use of chemicals. New pump stations, new tanks, power upgrades including a 1,000kW generator and working with the city’s street department to provide a more efďŹ cient process by installing updated saucers to the city’s 800-plus manhole covers are among Downey’s accomplishments. “Everything we’ve done biologically so you don’t have to add chemicals to do it,â€? Downey said of the treatment program for the city’s wastewater. “What we put back into the stream is cleaner than

what got out.�

Another improvement project completed during Downey’s tenure was converting all but a dozen properties from septic systems to the city’s system.

The biggest change Downey experienced during his years working with wastewater was the inclusion of technology. “With today’s technology, it really makes it a lot easier keeping an eye on the plant,� Downey said, explaining how he was able to log on from a computer at home to check on the city’s system during a rain storm, for example, then adjust pumps as needed.

Downey said what he’s going to miss most about his job is the “camaraderie� between the other three employees at the wastewater treatment plant. “It’s a close-knit group. I consider them good friends. I always told them ‘if you’ve got an opinion or thought, express it.’ I had an open door policy. It was quite enjoyable.�

A 1979 Greenville graduate, Downey served

six years with the Ohio National Guard and also worked for a few years with Ponderosa in Greenville, before accepting a job with the city.

He and his wife Pam are parents of four, Kelly and Tiffany of Greenville, Jason of Troy and Whitney of Arcanum. They also have seven grandchildren, which will keep Downey busy. “One of the highlights now will be spending more time with the grandkids, getting involved more

with the kids and grandkids. Plus I’ve got a great amount of ‘Honey-do’s� on the list to do stuff around the house.�

Downey already has spent a week in Michigan ďŹ shing with his parents and siblings, and is looking forward to spending more time playing computer games with his son Jason, an IT director.

Known for wearing a ball cap, Downey said he once took it off while attending a city council meeting. “Chief (Mark)

Wolfe came up to me after and said he didn’t know if I was there,� Downey said. “I always have my ball hat on.�

Those who worked with Downey were privileged to be left with a smile when a visit or conversation was over. “I always smiled and told them to ‘have a good day.’ That’s how I ďŹ nished it the day I retired. I went to the mayor’s ofďŹ ce to tell him goodbye and to have a good day. You always want to make sure you leave people smiling.â€?

Paint brushes replace Versailles basketballs GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

VERSAILLES – The Versailles High School boys basketball team spent Wednesday sprucing up the town’s Ward Park.

“We’re putting in some time...some community service,” said first year head varsity boys basketball coach Travis Swank.

“We believe it is good to give back to the community.”

“They do a lot of good things for us during the season,” continued Swank.

“They come out and support us so we just want to give our thanks to them and show our appreciation

for all the support they give us by giving back to the community a little bit here today by painting the dugouts and the concession stand here at Ward Park.”

Both the junior varsity and varsity teams under the guidance Coach Swank used the day to paint the park’s dugouts and concession.

“We have almost all our kids here,” Swank stated.

“It’s a mixture of our varsity and JV team.

“This is a good bonding experience for our team,” shared Swank. “It gets our team that much closer together and it allows our senior and juniors to really show that leadership and help us to where we want

to go during the season.”

Community service is not new to the Versailles High School as student athletes, band members, FFA members and more are oft “It starts at home,” said Swank. “Parents are very supportive of the community…the community support of the school. When you have that good support at home it just makes for having good kids…good hard working kids here.”

“Hats off to the parents for raising such good kids,” concluded Swank. “It makes our jobs as teachers and coaches a lot easier for us to come out here and do things like this.”

Lady Wave basketball camp a hit

PITSBURG GIRLS CHAMPS

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Lady Wave basketball camp surpassed the century mark for the second consecutive year as 105 girls took part in the camp.

“It’s fantastic,” said Greenville varsity coach Rachael Kerns. “It’s two years in a row we have done that. We ended up getting 105 campers. Of that 105…

102 of them are Greenville girls, so that is just great for the Lady Wave basketball program.”

Coach Kerns was assisted by JV Coach Laura Swigart, coaches Ryan Fiely, Jeff Martin and Dave Westfall along with more than 20-high school Lady Wave basketball players.

“I am really fortunate,” said Kerns of her coaching staff. “All my coaches from seventh grade all the way up will do anything I ask

and not question anything that I say. I don’t think that happens all the time at the high school levels.”

Kerns was pleased with the cooperation and leadership her high school girls brought to the camp.

“The high school girls did a phenomenal job,” stated Kerns. “I had had

over 20 of them at each session. They do a great job interacting with the girls.”

“They have to be good examples and what I find interesting, I hear the girls saying things that I often say in practice. Now they get to see it from the coach’s perspective.”

joy seeing the high school girls do things,” Kerns said of the campers. “They try to imitate…do what they are doing.”

“The longer they are here the more comfortable they get,” added Kerns.

“We try to make it more of a relaxed and fun environment for them, to be competitive and learn new things too.”

After 12-sessions: four days of three-sessions each, Kerns and her staff were pleased with the results of the long days in the gym.

“It’s a good week,” Kerns said. “It’s a long hard week for the high school girls and coaches, but it’s a really good week and it’s a necessary week for our basketball program.”

Coach Kerns was quick to recognize the parents of the campers.

“If I have 102 Greenville girls sign up that means I have 102 parents who are aware their daughters are playing basketball and took the time to bring them here,” said Kerns. “Really fortunate for such a good turnout. It’s been a great week of camp.”

Each camper received and camp T-Shirt and a green and white basketball at the end of the camp.

NASCAR Camping World Truck Series drivers weigh-in on Eldora

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

ROSSBURG – Christopher Bell, last year’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series winner at Eldora and NASCAR Truck Series driver Rico Abreu recently finished one and two in a NRA Sprint Invaders race at Eldora.

A Norman, Oklahoma native, Bell drives the No. 4 Toyota Tundra for Kyle Busch Motorsports in the NASCAR Camping World Truck series and spoke fondly of Darke County’s Eldora Speedway.

“It’s one of my favorite race tracks for sure,” Bell told The Early Bird. “It’s just so unique, “It’s a half

mile, its fast and it’s banked all the way up to the wall.

It builds a cushion right against the fence that you can lean on.”

“It’s just one of a kind,” continued Bell. “It’s really special for me to be able to come here and be so successful here. It’s a place that I liked right off the bat when I came here but I just wasn’t able to win, and then finally last year it all came together.

I’ve been able to be pretty successful since then.”

Abreu, a St. Helena, California native competes fulltime in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, driving the No. 98 Toyota Tundra for ThorSport Racing.

Wave hosts first seven-on-seven of season

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Green Wave played host to St. Henry and Brookville in a seven-on-seven Thursday morning scrimmage that stretched into the early afternoon hours.

“Seven-on-seven is kind of a necessary evil,” said Greenville coach Aaron Shaffer. “It’s something you have to work on the first couple of weeks of real football. You have to teach the linebackers to go forward and the receivers have to understand and quarterbacks have to understand most plays aren’t going to be pass plays. We are probably more of a 60-40 run to pass team, where through our summer we are throwing it 100 percent.”

The three-team scrimmage gave Coach Shaffer an opportunity to get an early season look at his team’s passing game.

“Obviously, quarterback is a pretty important position,” Coach Shaffer said.

“Having a QB that played for us for four years just graduate, we’ve got some answers that we’ve got to get there but we have a couple good kids, Kyle and Owen…

Colton and even the little freshman, Tyler.

Aaron Rich picks up big gain for Greenville against St. Henry in seven-onseven scrimmage (Gaylen Blosser photo)

Shaffer has four talented players vying for the quarterback job left vacant with the graduation of four-year starter Clay Guillozet.

Taking snaps on the day was freshman Tyler Beyke, sophomore Colton Zumbrun, junior Owen Paulus and senior Kyle Phillips.

“We got quarterbacks in every grade and Kyle’s not inexperienced. As a sophomore he played five games due to injury. He played a little last year, so he is not inexperienced. He’s been on the varsity field. He was an all-league DB last year, so the Friday night lights aren’t going to be anything that is nerving for him.”

Phillips, a 2015 all-league defensive back was Guillozet’s backup at QB starting

five-games as a sophomore when Guillozet went down with a broken wrist.

“We’re evaluating everyone, quarterbacks included,” said Shaffer. “Comes that first Friday night the best eleven will be out there and whoever it is, is whoever it is.”

“As always the first time you get out here you see some good things and you see a whole lot of things you have to work on,” said Brookville Coach Mike Hetrick. “We got a lot of young kids. I think they got better as the day went on so that’s all we ask.”

“We enjoyed it and saw a lot of good things,” added Hetrick. “Wish Greenville and St. Henry the best.”

races, so I’m coming to Eldora four times.”

“I just try to get here as much as I can because it’s one of my favorite tracks,” added Abreu. “It is one of the most well-respected race tracks in the country.”

Bell and Abreu were teammates with Keith Kunz Racing while quickly advancing through the racing ranks together.

“It’s cool,” Bell said of

competing against Abreu recently at Eldora. Rico and I have been able to kinda grow up together so to speak. We were teammates with Keith Kunz with the midget deal.”

“It seems like everywhere we go we’re each-others biggest competitors, but not only biggest competitors, but he’s one of my best friends too,” Bell stated.

“We have a really cool relationship and it’s nice to be

able to beat him every now and then.”

Abreu, an Eldora favorite, is a two-time Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals Champion held at Tulsa, Oklahoma and billed as “Midget Racing’s answer to the Super Bowl!”

“I’m getting to race a lot,” said Abreu. “I’ve won a few races this year… having a little bit of success in the Champion World Truck Series.”

“My team is actually based out of Sandusky, Ohio, so not too far from here…

ThorSport Racing, driving the Safelite AutoGlass Toyota Tundra this year,” added Abreu. “There’s a lot on my plate and I’m very lucky, very humbled to be put in a position where I can race every weekend.”

Bell and Abreu will be back at Eldora Speedway for the 4th Annual NASCAR World Truck Series race on tap for July 20, 2016.

Versailles Lady Tigers Camp draws 170

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

VERSAILLES – The Versailles Lady Tigers hosted 170-campers from seven different schools at its 2016 four-day basketball camp led by varsity girls basketball coach Jacki Stonebraker.

Stonebraker was assisted

by JV Coach Kimberly Byron Custenborder, Coach Brian Shappie and Coach Jason Ahrens along with Katie Heckman and 28 high school girls.

The four-day camp ran smoothly but not before a large amount of planning, preparation and hard work preceded the event.

“It is a lot of work,” agreed

Stonebraker, “but it’s a lot of fun. I feel like our coaching staff and our girls that help out with camp do a tremendous job especially with the little-little kids. They work their tails off at all times.

They always do every year.

They have a lot of energy and it showed in this camp.”

Known for its excellent girl’s basketball program, the Versailles camp draws many girls from surrounding schools and conferences.

“We tell them some things that we do here,” Stonebraker said of the girls attending from neighboring schools.

“That’s fine. Hopefully they can take it back and use it to their abilities as well.”

“I think it was so neat to

see girls from Fort Loramie and Russia talking to each other and having fun…and Versailles and New Bremen,” added Stonebraker.

“All these girls made some friends this week. I think that is really important.”

The fourth and final day of camp had the girls dividing into teams and playing a five-on-five tournament bringing a close to the 2016 Lady Tigers basketball camp.

“We had 170-campers but it was a lot of fun to watch,” Stonebraker said. “Some of these five-on-five games got pretty competitive. Hopefully all the girls come out of this camp learning something new.”

Wave football golf outing supports team needs

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Greenville football program will be hold its third annual golf outing and hog roast July 23rd at the Turtle Creek Golf Course.

“We are thankful to have Dave Knapp Ford sponsor our hole-in-one for our golf outing,” said Greenville football coach Aaron Shaffer.

“We have our afternoon full and we have five teams on a morning flight and we are still taking entries for golfers,” Shaffer

said.

Registration is at 7:30 a.m. with an eight o’clock tee-off time.

“We are really thankful to have Dave Knapp Ford doing the car for us,” Shaffer stated. “It’s hole six right there by the road and you hit it from the blues. You knock it in…get yourself a brand new Ford right from Dave Knapp’s.”

Dave Knapp has been involved for the past 23 years with many local events with an emphasis on the youth of our com-

munity.

“The children are the future of our community,” said Dave Knapp. “We have to support them, lift them up and be there for them.”

Those interested in supporting the event can take advantage of the Wave’s hog roast.

“We also have hog roast tickets at five dollars apiece,” Shaffer said. “Get you a pulled pork dinner and a little bit of comradery out there with some of our players and families and coaches. It’s a good

time. We have had a good time the past few years.”

The outing continues to grow while financially supporting the local high school football program.

“We have been fortunate for this thing to continue to grow,” said Coach Shaffer. “We are trying to raise some funds to help continue to grow our program.”

“Last year we were able to put our high school kids in brand new uniforms,” added Shaffer. “This year we were in need of new head phones for our

Friday nights. That’s what the funds from this outing is going to be used for.”

Firefly Fireworks at Darke County Parks GREENVILLE – Did you know that fireflies or lightening bugs are actually beetles? On July 21, 8:30 p.m., at Shawnee Prairie Preserve, join a naturalist to learn about the fascinating world of fireflies. These bioluminescent bugs use their glow to attract prey, for mating, and sometimes even a defense mechanism.

These wonderful creatures thrive in meadows, forests, fields, and other natural habitats, but numbers are declining due to human land development.

Come find out what the public can do to keep them in their backyards and what scientists are learning from their special light.

The program will begin

Dr. Studebaker speaks at PERI luncheon

The light fireflies emit may appear yellow, green, or even pale red.

GREENVILLE – Dr. John P. Studebaker, M.S., M.D. and Certified Holistic Specialist, will be the guest speaker at the Public Employee Retirees (PERI) luncheon meeting on Monday, August 1, 11:30 a.m., at the VFW on Ohio Street in Greenville. Cost of the luncheon is $9 per person.

PERI members are encouraged to bring guests and nonmembers are encouraged to attend who have retired under the Ohio Public Employees’ Pension fund (OPERS) or who are planning to retire. PERI also welcomes patients of Dr. Studebaker and others who are interested in exploring alternative methods to prevent or treat their health issues.

Reservations for nonmembers must be in by July 27 by calling Vivian Nieport, Attendance and Contact Chairman, at 5483961. PERI members will be contacted directly by the PERI calling committee.

Patients of Dr. Studebaker may call his office if they wish to attend.

As a licensed Medical Doctor and Holistic Specialist, Dr. Studebaker’s illustrated program will not only include how he balances traditional medicine with alternatives that include nutrition, but he will also focus on his intensive research with vitamins, particularly vitamins D and K. Today, many doctors are specializing in diseases that impact particular parts of the body such as heart, kidney, blood and neurological diseases to name a few. As a result, patients with multiple health issues end up with multiple specialists with each prescribing one or more prescription drugs.

If these drugs are not care-

fully coordinated and monitored, they can become ineffective, counterproductive and even dangerous.

By comparison and as Dr. Studebaker will point out, Holistic Specialists treat each patient as a whole person by looking at the individual’s overall physical, mental, spiritual and emotional well being before recommending treatment.

More importantly, they attempt to prevent illness in the first place by placing a greater emphasis on proper nutrition and avoidance of substances such as chemicals and environmental contaminants that can harm the body.

Dr. Studebaker said he first became aware of Holistic Health Medicine in 2000 when his patients began Googling information from the internet and asking him about alternative treatments that were not readily available or were considered questionable by the medical profession. Rather than being skeptical and ignoring their requests, he decided to remain open minded and conduct his own investigation into these treatments, he said.

After attending a seminar conducted by the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine (ABIHM) he said he was so impressed that he became Board Certified in 2005 and recertified in 2014 to practice holistic and integrative Holistic Medicine along with his traditional practice.

According to the PERI Board of Trustees, his program on August 1 will be a wonderful opportunity for PERI members and others to obtain new ideas and valuable information for their own health and welfare.

Spencer Landscaping has been giving support to the Gathering at Garst since the first event.

Spencer Landscaping supports Gathering GREENVILLE – The Gathering at Garst and Garst Museum thank Spencer Landscaping for their generous and steadfast support received since the very first Gathering at Garst.

Tickets will be available in the Lowell Thomas House during the event on July 30 and 31.

JESSUP GIVEN HONOR

Local artists wanted for First Friday event Minnetrista

VERSAILLES – At the June 22 Versailles Council Meeting, Mayor Jeff A. Subler and Village Council members honored Versailles resident Joe Jessup with an Honorary Membership to the Versailles Fire Department. Shown are (front) Joe Jessup, (back) Mayor Jeff A. Subler, Fire Chief Brian Pearson, Assistant Fire Chief Kevin Harman , and Joe’s parents Elaine and Ron Marshall.

GREENVILLE – Artisan Stroll is the theme for Main Street Greenville’s First Friday event held in August.

The event has everything to do with handmade, homemade, and artisan crafts.

The event will take place on Aug. 5, 6-9 p.m., in the downtown district.

The committee is looking for artisans and crafters to display and sell their paintings, photography, handmade jewelry, dolls, children’s apparel, wreaths, and more during the event.

DCP will discover Nature by the Numbers GREENVILLE – Darke County Parks invites students in grades 3-6 to join them for the July Jr. Naturalists program on July 23 from 9:30 a.m. to noon at Shawnee Prairie Preserve on State Route 502 west of Greenville. In the arrangement of pinecone scales, the number of flower petals, or even proportions within the human body, there is a mysterious number that appears in nature

too many times to be explained.

Students will learn a little more about this intriguing number, the man who discovered it, and take a hike to find out for themselves if this number holds true for Shawnee Prairie.

The Jr. Naturalists program is a series of monthly programs designed to give students a hands-on introduction to natural resource management. Hikes, work

projects, and independent study are all part of this fun-filled nature study club.

A fee of $3 is charged for the program, and preregistration is required. For any questions about the Jr. Naturalists program or any other Park District programs or to register for the July class, call the park office at 548-0165 or email info@darkecountyparks. org.

TIRE LIVES MATTER!

All local artists and talented creative people are invited to sell and/or demonstrate their craft. The artists will join many downtown businesses who will be staying open late and other activities that will be planned for the event.

Registration to showcase and sell your items is $15 per space, which is a donation to Main Street Greenville (a non-profit organization). The deadline to signup is July 20th, 2016. For more information, contact committee member Susan

Fowble at 548-1414 or fowble51@gmail.com.

Main Street Greenville is a non-profit organization committed to stimulating and supporting revitalization efforts, historic preservation and economic growth in Historic Downtown Greenville. To learn more about the organization, visit www.DowntownGreenville. org or call 548-4998. You can also like the organization on Facebook to receive updates on a regular basis (www.facebook.com/mainstreetgreenville).

Colbert, Gabel featured in library’s movie GREENVILLE – The spoiled daughter of a rich man runs away when he threatens to annul her new marriage. A recently fired newspaperman recognizes her but doesn’t let on, escorting her from southern Florida to New York to be with her husband. They hate each other. This being a classic Hollywood comedy, of course, they end up falling in love.

It Happened One Night stars Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable as two stubborn, clever, and mismatched individuals who can’t decide whether they want to strangle or kiss

each other in this 1934 pre-cursor to the screwball comedy genre of the 1940s.

Containing elements of the later screwball films but deviating in significant ways, It Happened One Night is hilarious and heartwarming and features two of the biggest stars of the decade.

Join move lovers on July 21, 7 p.m., at the Greenville Public Library for this wonderful film.

David Nilsen will be leading a brief discussion after the movie and as always there will be free theater popcorn, candy, coffee, and Jones Soda.
