GREENVILLE – The fervor the Darke County Economic Development office had the past few years may have been tempered with the loss of its former director earlier this year, but things may start heating up again soon. The Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) recently revealed it has hired Greenville Mayor Mike Bowers as the new director of Darke County Economic Development. Bowers admits he wasn’t sure if he wanted to leave the city and didn’t immediately submit his name for consideration. In fact, he was originally on the search committee. The board was ready to offer the position to a candidate, but that person withdrew his name from consideration. Bowers was then asked again to consider seeking the position. After talking with his wife and family, he decided he would pursue the opportunity. Mayor Bowers pointed out he is very familiar with the work performed in the Darke County Economic Development office having worked with them on a continual basis. “About 75 percent of time as mayor was devoted to economic development,” he said. CIC President Dave Keiser stressed the board wanted someone who could continue the work Saluk had started. While the CIC wanted a director who was able to attract new business to the community, it was just as important, if not more so, to have someone who could work with local businesses in the area of retention and work with the partnerships that have been developed with schools and colleges for workforce development. The board looked at candidates from all over Ohio, as well as Texas and California, but, according to Keiser, there were concerns that some of these candidates may only be here for a short time and the CIC would be forced to go through the process again. In addition to having experience with economic development and having worked hand-inhand with Saluk, Bowers’ ties to the community was instrumental in the board finally deciding to go with the mayor. According to Keiser, the decision to leave the city was not an easy decision for Bowers to make. However, Bowers shared with the board that he had to

ask himself what was best for the county? He felt he was a better asset to the county as its economic development director, said Keiser. Bowers is pleased with the work his staff has done over the past eight years. “The success we’ve had is because of the people I’ve surrounded myself with,” said the mayor. “The next person will have a great team in place.” Bowers has a little over three years remaining in his term. With the connections Bowers has made with local businesses and having worked with state economic development agencies, Keiser believes Bowers will be able to step into the position and immediately go to work. Keiser praised Lisa Wendel, workforce development coordinator, and Melanie Nealeigh, ofﬁce manager, for their work in the absence of a director. “They have been excellent for us. They are just outstanding,” said Keiser. Bowers’ ﬁrst day as director will be Aug. 29.

ARCANUM – “You always remember your first and your last,” said Jim Troutwine referring the cars he has sold at Troutwine Auto Sales, 9 N. Main St., Arcanum. If you’ve only sold a few cars you might be able to remember more of them, but when you’ve sold 8,000 cars it becomes a little harder to remember the 7,998 in between the first and most recent car. To celebrate his 8,000th sale, Troutwine invited the two car buyers who helped him reach his milestone to the dealership to talk about those sales, Bob Anderson and Deb Ganger. It wasn’t Anderson’s first time to buy a car from Troutwine Auto Sales, but the Arcanum resident had the distinction of buying the first car Troutwine sold. The year was 1973 and the car – a Monte Carlo. Troutwine explained Anderson was across the street at a furniture store expecting to buy furniture. Then a vehicle hauler pulled up in front of the dealership carrying the Monte Carlo. Anderson didn’t buy furniture that day. This wasn’t Anderson’s only visit to Troutwine Auto Sales. Over the past 43 years he has purchased a couple trucks, Firebird, and Park Avenue, to name a few. He said he keeps coming back because of

the friendly staff that doesn’t try to pressure its customers. The 8,000th car was purchased by someone close to the Troutwine family. In fact, she is Troutwine’s cousin and her father, the late Keith Troutwine, worked as a salesman for the dealership for 25 years. Deb Ganger, of Greenville, purchased a 2009 Pontiac G6. She said she had been looking at the car since the beginning of June and ﬁnally made the decision to make the purchase a couple weeks ago. Since 1973, Troutwine has been following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. Troutwine Auto Sales began in 1928 when Webb Troutwine purchased a repair facility and opened the dealership. Troutwine’s father, Deo, joined the business after World War II and his brothers, Fred and Richard began working for the business in 1963 and 1967, respectively. Although they have long been associated with General Motors (GM) products, the business began as an Oakland dealership. Troutwine pointed out Oakland was the predecessor to the Pontiac. Troutwine Auto Sales has had its share of ups and downs throughout its nearly 90-year history including several nearly catastrophic events. A ﬁre in the early 90’s destroyed many of the business’ records and the tornado that swept through Arcanum in 1993 damaged the front of

Bob Anderson still has a picture of the Monte Carlo he bought from Jim Troutwine. The car was sold a couple of times before being brought back to the dealership as a trade-in.

the building and destroyed a Cavalier convertible. The dealership also anxiously awaited their fate when GM went into bankruptcy. Troutwine explained dealerships that were being dropped by GM were receiving their letter via Federal Express. He said he kept looking out the front window hoping not to see one of those trucks. Troutwine believes he has been able to reach the 8,000 milestone because of the trust customers have

placed in the dealership and their no-pressure approach. “My advice to the car buying public is if you go into a place and they try to add on a lot of aftermarket products – run away as fast as you can. That is not tolerated here,” said Troutwine. Troutwine Auto Sales is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. They are closed Sunday.

Light Foundation campers serve BRC residents GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Light Foundation, founded by GHS alum, three-time Super Bowl champion and former New England Patriot Matt Light took time Tuesday to visit the residents of the Brethren Retirement Community along with campers from Camp Vohokase and share time visiting and bingo. Camp Vohokase, located on the foundation’s 400 acre facility, Chenoweth Trail in Greenville is a four-year leadership camp taking 16-boys from “at-risk” cities across the country instructing them in leadership, accountability, hard work and ethics. “The thing that I really truly enjoy,” said Light, “I can come back to my home town and I can have the people in this town help inﬂuence young men from all over the country the way that they inﬂuenced me.” “It’s not just the hometown values,” continued Light. “It’s the friendships, the loyalty that is

shown that resonates in everything that we do, so whether we go to Winners Meat Market on one of our career educational tours which we did this year and I’m working right alongside Rob, a guy I threw shot put and played football with who is now back in the family business and we were talking about the realness of being a part of something like that or just working with all the people.” The visit to the BRC has become a tradition as the campers returned for the ﬁfth year to play bingo with the residents. Though generations apart, the young campers and elderly residents mesh well as the campers learn life lessons from the stories the residents so willingly share. “It’s very special to have Matt and the Light Foundation bring these young men out for some activity with our residents,” said BRC President and CEO John Warner. “The residents always look forward to it. It’s a great day of intergenerational activity together. We appreciate the support we receive from

L-R Dontrell Kiser, Worchester, MA, Gabe Macerato, New Oleans, LA, WWII Veteran Joe Bredeson and Matt Light (Gaylen Blosser photo)

the Light Foundation and from these young men.” “The residents enjoy seeing Matt, but they also enjoy the interaction with these young men and helping play bingo and just having some good conversation,” added Warner. “A great day.” “It’s almost like a builtin tradition with our Leadership Camp that we come here. This has always been a big hit,” stated Light. “It does a couple of things for these young men. When they walk in its kinda hard to disrespect the elderly, so everybody is on the same playing ﬁeld.”

“Everybody understands of coming in and showing the respect that we talk about in camp. It’s a lot easier to do with your elders, and when they may not do it at home with mom and dad they walk in and they see somebody represents a grandparent in their eyes it deﬁnitely sets the tone for what we do here.” “I think the other part of it too is that they truly do enjoy the action,” continued Light. “I can’t begin to tell you how many lessons I’ve heard discussed over one of these bingo tables about just life in general.”

couple days. The Lowe’s prevention officer, Crystal Kirkwood reported on July 11, a male suspect, Brian Peters, is seen entering the store through the lawn and garden center on surveillance video. A few seconds later, female suspect Rachel Werner enters through the lawn and garden entrance as well. Peters is seen walking to the plumbing area while Werner waits in lawn and garden. Peters puts a sump pump in a cart, leaves the cart in the aisle and he leaves the store. A minute or so later, Werner enters the plumbing aisle, taking the cart with the sump pump to the return desk, where she claims she purchased it and is wanting a refund. The cashier takes her sump pump as an acceptable return after the female identifies herself with the ID card of a Jessica Kelly. Werner is given a merchandise card worth $298.16 in store credit. Werner leaves the store. On July 12, the same two subjects enter the store, again through the lawn and garden section with Peters entering first and Werner following a few seconds later. Peters again goes to the plumbing section, puts two sump pumps in a cart, leaving it in the aisle while exiting the store. Werner takes the cart containing the two sump pumps to the return desk, presents Kelly’s ID card and learns she can only return one pump. She accepts a merchandise card in the amount of $213.41 and proceeds to push the cart with the non-returnable sump pump out of the store, without paying for the second pump, which

was listed at $399. Lowes employees thought the situation was strange, since Werner had ‘returned’ a sump pump the day prior. They watched her leave the area and get into a red Chevy Avalanche. The officer recognized the vehicle as belonging to a Rhonda Werner. He went to her home to speak with her. When he arrived at the home, he found Rhonda Werner as well as Peters and Rachel Werner. He informed Rhonda Werner why he was there and asked who had access to her vehicle. She told the officer her daughter Rachel and Peters had access to the vehicle. Rachel denied committing the theft but did say she had been at Lowe’s recently. Peters did not wish to speak with the officer and just made the comment “I didn’t do anything wrong.” The officer asked Rhonda Werner if Jessica Kelly would have access to her vehicle and she did not know who Kelly was. Rachel Werner told the officer where Kelly lived and said she did have access to her mother’s Avalanche. The officer contacted Jessica Kelly over the phone and asked her about the thefts. Kelly informed the officer she had been in a car accident a few weeks before and was transported to the hospital by CareFlight, leaving her wallet in the car with the ID inside. She also told the officer her boyfriend at the time of the accident was Brian Peters and that Peters took her belongings after the accident. A report of the thefts has been sent to a Greenville detective to present to the prosecutor’s office for charges to be filed against Peters and

Rachel Werner. On July 15 officers were advised of an investigation conducted by Second National Bank concerning Brian Mader who had written seven personal bank checks for a total of $1,945 at various bank locations throughout the county. The bank checks belonged to Anthony Mader and Mildred Fox and were being written on a closed account. On July 8, Mader attempted to cash an eighth check. Employees refused to cash the check and proceeded to take possession of the check. An investigation is ongoing in this case. DRUGS On July 17, an officer was dispatched to the Greenville Public Pool on East Harmon Drive in reference to drugs. Pool manager Kyle Bruner told the officer a guest had advised him juvenile suspect was in the pool showing off a bong. The suspect was later seen in the pool bathroom with the bong. Bruner said he saw the juvenile place the bong inside a backpack. Bruner asked if he could see the backpack. The juvenile handed the backpack to Bruner, who found the evidence. The pool manager asked the suspect and his mother to speak with the officer concerning the backpack. The officer asked the mother to go through the backpack. While doing so the bong and a pill bottle were found. The bottle contained residue of marijuana. The juvenile admitted to smoking marijuana for the past three months but would not say who he purchased it from. The juvenile was issued a drug paraphernalia cita-

tion and released to his mother. The bong and bottle were transported to the police department and placed into evidence. WANTED PERSON On July 15 an officer was dispatched to CVS in the 1000 block of East Main Street in reference to a vehicle with five people inside. Upon arrival, the officer approached the vehicle and found three females sitting inside it. At that time, the officer was advised by another officer a male had left the area towards East Fourth Street. The CVS loss prevention officer told officers there was a male inside CVS attempting to buy cold medication. One of the officers identified the male inside CVS as Jason Graham. A LEADS check showed Graham was wanted on an active warrant for a failure to appear on an assault and an aggravated menacing charge through the Darke County Sheriff’s Office. Graham was taken into custody and was transported to the county jail. The other vehicle passengers were released from the scene.

Two armed robberies investigated by Greenville Police Department GREENVILLE – The Greenville Police Department are investigating two separate armed robberies that occurred just over three hours apart on opposite sides of town on Thursday. The department was ﬁrst called to the Subway restaurant on Martin Street at approximately 3:50 p.m. According to ofﬁcers, the male suspect reportedly brandished a weapon before making his way over the counter before exiting the store

on foot. It was not determined if the suspect made away with any money from the store. Just after 7 p.m., officers responded to Walgreens, located on the corner of Wagner and E. Main St. in Greenville, on a report of a robbery involving a gun. According to investigators at the scene, the suspect brandished the firearm and demanded money from a Walgreens employee. The suspect then fled the scene on foot behind the

store. The suspect is said to be a white middle-aged male, wearing a blue button-up shirt, black pants, sunglasses and a straw hat with #88 on it. The hat was located by officers, after apparently falling off the suspect as he fled the scene. The suspect is said to have made away with an undisclosed amount of cash. No employees or customers were said to have been injured during the robbery. Officers

say this does not sound like the same suspect that robbed Subway earlier today on Martin St. in Greenville. The Darke County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce was called in to assist with the search and investigation. Anyone with information of either of these robberies is urged to contact the Greenville Police Department at 937-548-1103 or Darke County Crime Stoppers at 937-547-1661 – you may remain anonymous.

Residents unhappy with landscaping BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – With a bag full of weeds in-hand, Bob McKenzie addressed Greenville City Council on July 19 and stated his concern with the Brumbaugh Construction’s landscaping effort at East Main and Ohio Streets. McKenzie lives on Ohio Street and his yard was affected by the recent road construction project.

Baseball tryouts PIQUA – The 2016 USSSA State tournament major division runner-up is looking for players who are highly motivated and dedicated to developing their baseball skills. They plan on playing 12-15 games and 5-6 tournaments (Columbus/Cincinnati/Indianapolis) against the best competition they can ﬁnd. Tryouts will be at Pitsenbarger Park in Piqua at 7 p.m. on July 24 and 31. Contact Shawn Anderson at 418-8250 or Ryan Frey at 572-7576 for more information or to schedule a private tryout.

“I’ve talked with my neighbors,” McKenzie said, “and we are unhappy.” He asked council if residents were going to have to pay to have the problem fixed or if the city was going to take care of the problem. David Cummings lives at the corner of Ohio and East Main Streets and expressed the same concerns. Cummings was also disappointed with the cleanup of his yard. He pointed out he has asked for the gravel in his yard to be removed, but the cleanup was less than adequate. The construction crew also left a big rut in his yard. Safety/Service Director Curt Garrison assured area residents that Brumbaugh Construction would not get paid for landscaping until it meets the city’s expectations. Because of the summer heat, Garrison doesn’t expect the areas to be reseeded until this fall. Garrison also updated progress on the East Main and Ohio Streets project and when residents can expect to see the final layer of asphalt. The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is expected to pave East Main from the Traffic Circle to Ohio Street begin-

ning the week of Aug. 8. In addition, the poles ordered for the new traffic signals at the Ohio and East Main intersection were manufactured incorrectly and the new poles are expected to be in that same week. Once the poles and traffic signals are installed, ODOT and Walls Brothers Asphalt will begin the paving project. Once the final layer of asphalt has been installed at the intersection ODOT will install temporary lane markings. The bridge near the City Park entrance is expected to take a week to complete. The paving project should be finished by the end of August. At the end of September, the city will have reclamite sprayed onto the new pavement to help preserve the asphalt. The permanent lane markings will then be installed. Garrison also gave council and residents an update on the attempt to allow residents to use a credit card to pay their utility bill. Garrison said, “That process started right after the council meeting (on July 5) and it flopped.” The city has since worked with the credit card company to get

things back on track, but they’ve had to increase the convenience fee from $1.95 to $2.95.

GREENVILLE – Edison State Community College is pleased to welcome Brad Lentz as the Agriculture Program Director. Lentz’s prior experience in agricultural education will prove to be instrumental as he helps to build and support the college’s new agribusiness program, which is set to launch this fall at Edison State’s Darke County campus. “We are thrilled to have Brad on board as our new Agriculture Program Director,” said Chad Beanblossom, Dean of Edison State’s Darke County Campus. “He brings with him over 20 years experience in the agriculture industry and is known by many within the education ﬁeld.” A Greenville native, Lentz began his most recent role as an agriculture teacher at Ansonia Local Schools in 1996. During this time, Lentz also served as the school’s FFA advisor where he mentored an average of 125 members per year and supervised the school’s greenhouse and garden center. In addition to his role as an educator, Lentz has also been actively involved with agricultural organizations such as the Ohio Association of Agricultural Educators, National Association of Ag-

ricultural Educators, Ohio and National Education Association, Ohio Farm Bureau, and American Hort. Lentz earned a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture from The Ohio State University and holds a Master of Arts in Teaching and Learning from Kaplan University. Lentz will assume the role of Director beginning in August 2016. “We had several qualiﬁed candidates apply to become program director, but Brad’s knowledge and experience make him the best ﬁt for this particular position. Brad will be a valuable addition to the Darke County Campus staff,” added Beanblossom. The college made the announcement earlier this year that it would offer an agribusiness program to meet the growing demand of the local agricultural industry. The program will reside at the college’s Darke County campus while also serving the residents of Mercer, Miami, Montgomery, Preble, Randolph, Shelby, and surrounding counties. For more information about the program or to enroll, speak with an advisor by calling 548-5546 or visiting Edison State’s Darke County Campus located at 601 Wagner Ave., Greenville.

and share what they’ve learned this year while completing a variety of projects. Fourteen-year-old Roman Dirksen of Union City and a member of the Livestock ‘n General 4-H Club, brought two projects to pre-fair – The Laundry Project and Grillmaster. “I learned a lot,” Dirksen said of his laundry project, which he titled Live, Laugh, Laundry. “I learned about different fabrics and how to run the washer and dryer, which temperature to use and I learned about the symbols on care labels. I learned what to do and how to treat your clothing.” With his grilling project, Dirksen said he cooked several meals for his family, mostly using a smoker. “I cooked pork, beef, chicken, fruits and vegetables,” he said. Dirksen also will be showing two pigs at the county fair this year – light cross and dark cross breeds. The soon-to-be eighthgrader at St. Mary’s Catholic School in Greenville said he knows he’ll be able to take the skills he’s learning in 4-H with him as he goes off to college and a career. “I now know that I can do laundry and use the right cleaners and right temperatures,” he said, as well as prepare meals. Other popular 4-H projects include those having to do with clothing and accessories. Megan Marchall, 17, will be a senior at Versailles this year. She got the idea to make her Har-

Individuals are invited from around the area to participate in the judging process. Christine Olinsky of Huber Heights is retired from the Ohio University Extension Office. She was invited to judge three project categories for Darke County this year, including Home Environment, Money Management and the laundry project. “We look for their knowledge of the subject matter, their ability to communicate, eye contact, do they have joy in what they’ve done (to complete the project) and I’m hoping they’ll engage with me,” Olinsky said. Each 4-H member is required to complete their project book and prepare some kind of visual to display for the judge. The display should demonstrate what they’ve actually learned or accomplished while working on each project they bring to pre-fair judging. For example, the display could include posters or scrapbooks. Some projects require the 4-H member to bring

the actual completed item they made, such as woodworking. Judge Ann Clutter, of Dayton, also is retired from Ohio extension. She said she tries to determine if the young people she judges “understand their project” and if they have been “engaged in the community,” especially for those completing the babysitting and child development projects. 4-H club members who want to be considered for county awards as well as state fair competition are required to participate in

county pre-fair judging, Williams said. Pre-fair judging can be described as “showmanship for the kids,” William said. State fair and county awards will be announced this coming week, Williams said. The public is invited to stop by the youth building during the county fair to check out all the projects, which will be on display in the individual club booths. The county fair is set to begin Aug. 19 and run through Aug. 27.

ON YOUR MIND

Unemployment compensation debt

BILL BEAGLE

OHIO SENATE Some bills we pass in the Ohio Senate generate front-page headlines and constituent emails by the hundreds, while others travel through the legislative process with little fanfare. Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislation that ďŹ&#x201A;ies under the radar that makes the greatest impact on the lives of ordinary Ohioans. Legislation we recently passed to erase Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unemployment compensation debt is a perfect example. This spring, the Ohio Senate passed a bill to level the mountain of debt that Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employers had to climb in order to fund unemployment beneďŹ ts for Ohioans out of work. Ohio had borrowed heavily from the federal government during the Great Recession, and it was time to pay the piper. In early 2009, Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unemployment compensation fund went completely broke after months of staggeringly high unemployment. During that economic downturn the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unemployment rate had spiked to a 26-year high, and we had squeezed every last penny out of our unemployment compensation fund. In response, the businesses in the state borrowed more than $2 billion from a federal trust fund in order to continue paying jobless beneďŹ ts struggling families needed to get by. At the beginning of this year, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s businesses still owed $300 million on that debt. A debt of $300 million may not sound like much to citizens accustomed to a federal government that owes trillions, but Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job creators feel the direct impact through the unemployment taxes they pay. Ohio businesses under normal conditions pay $42 per employee per year in unemployment taxes. Be-

cause of the outstanding debt, the federal government was set to increase those penalties from $147 per employee per year to $168 per employee for 2017. After accounting for Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roughly 5 million employees, we were looking at a total of a half a billion dollars in unnecessary federal taxes on Ohio businesses. We know that every dollar paid in unemployment taxes is one less dollar for employers to invest in Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people and economy. When small businesses employ half of the workforce, extra taxation can mean the difference between hiring and ďŹ ring, expanding or shrinking. As a state, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come too far to let that happen. When employers asked the legislature to act to eliminate their debt, we listened. We worked with local and regional businesses and partnerships to develop a solution to the mounting problem. We formulated a plan to temporarily use a portion of Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclaimed funds in order to pay back the original federal loan this fall. The solution allows the state to repay the remainder of the federal debt, which then reverts unemployment taxes on our businesses to normal levels and avoids the crushing new federal penalties. All tallied, this will save Ohio businesses an estimated savings of over $400 million, that instead of being sent to Washington, can now be used to hire, train and invest in the workforce and our economy here in Ohio. Widely praised by the business community, the plan to repay Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unemployment debt burden is an essential piece of the legislative effort to lighten the burden on job creators. When job creators have the resources to expand their operations and bring more employees on board, our economy grows. Our state thrives. We still have work to do, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the right track.

Edison appoints new Provost PIQUA - After an extensive search, Edison State Community College has announced Christopher D. Spradlin has been appointed as Provost for the college. In her announcement to the college community, Edison State President Dr. Doreen Larson said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The search committee was impressed with the collaborative and reďŹ&#x201A;ective approach to leadership demonstrated by Mr. Spradlin along with his success in partnering academic and student services to enhance student success.â&#x20AC;? Spradlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s background in higher education leadership will be instrumental as he helps to develop innovative academic programs in response to institutional and community needs. His knowledge of higher education will also prove necessary in helping to sustain Edison Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

long-standing accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission. Spradlin most recently served as the Vice President of Academic Services for the last two years after being promoted from his role as the Dean of Arts and Sciences at Lake Michigan College. Additionally, Spradlin garnered over ten years of experience as a dean, department chair, and faculty member while at Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland and Ivy Tech Community Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Northeast in Fort Wayne. In addition to holding administrative roles, Spradlin was appointed to serve on the Ohio Association of Community Colleges Student Success Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Advisory Committee in 2012 and the Michigan Center for Student Success Advisory Committee in 2014.

Whiskey, Wine & Ale Trail - Boon for county? Tourism Talks Matthew Staugler Darke County Visitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bureau Executive Director

This past year, the Darke County Visitors Bureau put together a brand new feature highlighting our wineries, craft breweries, and distilleries in the area into a new trail for visitors and locals, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Darke County Whiskey, Wine, & Ale Trail.â&#x20AC;? The Trail is made up of our three wineries in Darke County (The Winery at Versailles in Versailles, Kennedy Vineyard in New Madison, and A.R. Winery in Arcanum), two breweries just across the county line in Mercer County (Moeller Brew Barn in Maria Stein and Tailspin Brewing Company in Coldwater), and Indian Creek Distillery in New Carlisle. This creates a regional attraction that can prompt visits from

Back-to-school shots at health department GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It is time for back-to school shots. The Darke County Health Department is encouraging all parents of children entering Kindergarten, seventh grade, or 12th grade to get the needed immunizations this summer. The Health Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clinic hours are every Tuesday, 8-10:30 a.m., and 2-5 p.m., located at 300 Garst Ave., Greenville. Typical Kindergarten immunizations are MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella), Chickenpox, DTaP (Diptheria, Tetanus, Pertussisâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;whooping cough) and IPV (Polio). These are the requirements for school entry, provided the child is currently up to date with infant vaccinations. New requirements for children entering seventh grade in the fall of 2016 include Tdap (Tetanus, Diptheria, Pertussis) and Meningococcal (MCV4);

all across western Ohio and eastern Indiana, with Darke County at the heart of it. For example, a couple from Cincinnati visited over the Fourth of July holiday for the express purpose of visiting the six locations on the trail, and stayed three nights at a local lodging facility. They had visited the Kentucky Bourbon Trail last month and saw digital advertising that the Visitors Bureau had placed about the Whiskey, Wine, & Ale Trail and decided to keep their money in Ohio. As a matter of fact, the Kentucky Bourbon Trail was a template used when putting our trail together, and with good reason. The Kentucky Bourbon Trail is one of the most visited attractions in the entire state of Kentucky, garnering a new milestone for visits in 2015 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; over 762,000 visits, up 22 percent from 2014.

spent, on average, $1,000 a piece while visiting the trail. Those who visit for the Bourbon Trail tend to stay longer, spend more money, and visit in larger groups, with 85 percent of them coming from outside of Kentucky. That success can be translated locally and create a thriving economic boost for Darke County. Many of the locations on the Trail are becoming better known â&#x20AC;&#x201C; our wineries have won awards in several different wine competitions, and The Winery at Versailles was recently named â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best Wineryâ&#x20AC;? in the state of Ohio by Ohio Magazine. Moeller Brew Barnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s craft beer is enjoyed as far away as Columbus, and Indian Creek Distillery offers specialized tours of their

nearly 200 year old stillhouse and mill. The craft beer industry in Ohio generates $1.2 billion a year in economic activity, and the Ohio wine industry contributes an additional $800 million. Our local craft brewers, winemakers, and distillers are small business owners and economic drivers for our area, and the Visitors Bureau is committed to continue to help market them as tourist attractions in the Darke County area. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be rolling a new, dedicated website speciďŹ cally for the Trail in the near future, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking forward to adding additional locations to the trail in the coming years, making Darke County a hub for craft enthusiasts in Ohio. Cheers!

READERS WRITE Readdress Combat Roles Congressman Warren Davidson missed the mark in his quote from the July 17 article â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Force Women into combat roles.â&#x20AC;? I am aware Congress is attempting to require women to register for Selective Service. Although I do not want to see my own daughter enter the draft, or any lady for that matter, these are the consequences of a minority attempting to rule over a majority. The good Congressman makes no attempt to be fair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Some women] have no interest in the military.â&#x20AC;? Neither do some men. Has the Congressman argued to permit those men the choice to refuse registration? No. He also failed to address the

minority of women who wanted access to all combat roles. Their argument had its foundation in fairness and equality for women. In doing so, achieving their goal mandates fairness and equality along the entire military spectrum. This includes conscription, hence Congress must address the â&#x20AC;&#x153;edictâ&#x20AC;? and balance the equation. These are the unintended consequences of a minority exercising control over a majority. If a woman can demand access to all military specialties, why can a man not demand to refuse registration? Readdress the combat roles, Congressman, not the Selective Service. Michael Pelger, Jr. Greenville

PITSBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Pitsburg Church of the Brethren will host a concert by â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fresh Spiritâ&#x20AC;? on Sunday, Aug. 7, 6 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fresh Spiritâ&#x20AC;? was originally a group of three sisters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Linda, Marilyn, and Pattie â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who grew up traveling and singing as part of the Brewer Family. When Marilyn decided to return to her home in Tennessee, Linda and Pattie felt strongly that their ministry should continue. During this time, God was working on another of His children who had a similar background as the Brewerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s -- born and raised to travel and sing. Having sung with her family for nearly 35 years until her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home-going, Tish Newland was searching for the job God would provide for the next â&#x20AC;&#x153;chapterâ&#x20AC;? of her life. As only He can, God brought the three ladies together, and gave them harmony not only in voice, but in their hearts as well. Thus, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fresh Spiritâ&#x20AC;? was

Fresh Spirit

reborn and rededicated to the mission of lifting up the Body of Christ by sharing Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goodness and love through song. In early 2012, led by the Lord to come â&#x20AC;&#x153;off the road,â&#x20AC;? sister Pattie announced her retirement and agreed to stay on until the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice for the group could be found. Their search led them to Sarah HatďŹ eld, a young woman from the Dayton area, with a beautiful voice and the desire to use it for the Lord. Sarahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

debut appointment with them was August 2012, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been hanging in there ever since. These three ladies, along with their tremendous sound man, Stan Covert (Lindaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better half), are Fresh Spirit. The church is located at the west edge of Pitsburg at 8376 Pitsburg-Laura Road, Arcanum. The public is always welcome to these concerts. For more information, call Bruce at 564-2891.

Technology at local funeral homes is helping families DARKE COUNTY – Every industry has embraced new technologies to build and improve their business and better serve their clients. Now the funeral industry is just as progressive. Braund Pope and Oliver Floyd Funeral Homes in New Madison and Greenville now offer an electronic guest registry —a simple tool that allows them to serve their families, connect with the community and enhance their business all at once. The portable touch screen, tablet kiosk, which can be used at a funeral home, church, cemetery or other venue where a memorial service or burial is held,

will streamline information gathering and more; bringing funeral service into the technology age in exciting ways. “The electronic registry will make it easier for families to send out thank you cards via address labels that will be printed for them and it will also allow multiple family members to have a visitation record of who attended their loved ones service. It will also provide friends and family an opportunity to donate to a loved one’s memorial request at the time of the service,” said Eric Fee, owner. “We want to make sure that each service we offer directly beneﬁts the family we serve. It

isn’t about adding technology for technology sake. For us… it’s all about celebrating lives and serving families.” Those who attend a memorial service will register using an electronic guest book, and have the option to make secure credit or debit card donations to a memorial on the spot. While the kiosk is extremely user friendly, funeral home staff will be present to assist those unfamiliar with touch-screen technology. “We are looking forward to using the registry to better serve our families, the community and our guests at the funeral home,” said Fee. “We’ve always been

sensitive to families’ needs, and implementing an electronic registry is just another way we can make the funeral process a little easier and more convenient. The other huge advantage is once you are already in the registry, signing in is just a simple click. The last beneﬁt is in regard to care - families and guests alike will experience a blessing because it will send guests a reminder of milestone dates so they can continue to care for the family in the months ahead.” For more information about Braund Pope or Oliver Floyd Funeral Homes, visit www.oliverﬂoyd.com or call 548-1133 or 9961051.

Greenville hires varsity boys basketball coach GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville’s new basketball coach Kyle Joseph fell just three weeks short of joining Darke Countians for the bragging rights of calling himself a Darke County native. “We are looking forward to getting back to Ohio,” said Joseph. “Getting closer to family.” Joseph is married to Sara, a native of Wadsworth, Ohio. The couple have two sons, four-year old Kade and four-month old Landry. Joseph’s parents graduated from The Ohio State University and lived in Greenville for six years where both of his older sisters were both born. “My parents moved from Greenville about three weeks before I was born,” said Joseph. Joseph attended West-

fall High School in Pickaway County, OH. While attending Westfall, Joseph played basketball, baseball, ran track and cross country. Joseph attended the University of Akron graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in physical education and continued his education for two additional years at Akron, receiving a Master’s Degree in Exercise Physiology. After completing his masters and two years as a grad assistant coach, Joseph searched for a job in the college coaching ranks. “That took me out to Idaho to a Division II school, Northwest Nazarene University,” said Joseph. “That was a great experience for me. My boss had been on the Canadian National Team and played in the 2000 Olympics.” “He was a backup point guard for Steve Nash,” Joseph stated. “He was a re-

ally great guy to learn from. Offensively he was good x’s and o’s. He was phenomenal in how he dealt with the players, so that was a great experience.” From there Joseph went to North Carolina’s Lewisburg College. “I knew I was coming into a program where they had been top ten in the country for the last ﬁve or six years,” said Joseph. “When I got there we kept that going and we went 28-7 and made it to their elite eight.” After the end of this basketball season, the couple decided to look for opportunities to move closer to home in their native Ohio. “I started looking into applying for some high school jobs and when I saw the Greenville posting, that was something that stuck out to me right away because I knew exactly where it was because my parents lived here in Greenville for about six

years. I have two older sisters…both were born here in Greenville.” The new coach has already heard about the stage crew and the large crowds that support the Wave on game night in Greenville. “That’s what I have

heard,” Joseph said. “The stage crew here.” “That all goes into why this is such a great job,” said Joseph. “I’m really looking forward to it and thankful to be in this position.” “The whole situation, from the support, to the

facilities, to the team that I know is coming back this year,” stated Joseph. “The whole thing is better than I could have ever imagined to step in as a ﬁrst year head coach. I certainly know there is a lot here and a lot of reasons why we should be successful.”

Union City hosts ﬁrst youth boys basketball camp UNION CITY, Ind. – Union City held their ﬁrst-ever youth boys basketball camp July 13, 14 and 18, which was led by new boys varsity head basketball coach David Barger and members of the high school boys program. “The coaching staff was excited to see not only the youth willing to come spend time with us to learn the game of basketball, but we were thrilled to have the support of our high school players give their time to connect with the youth and create some GREENVILLE EAGLES EVENTS

excitement for basketball in the community,” said David Barger. “I feel it is important in order to develop a culture of basketball at Union City, we have to include the youth in that process. If we can develop the kind of excitement and passion that generates a desire to not just play but also work at being successful at the game, we will experience long term success.” “If you look at any of the successful programs in the area, this is the one area they all have in common…they invest heavily in the development of their youth. We want to stick to what works, follow the blueprint that has equaled success for many local programs.” “Along with developing skills at basketball, these young people can develop many life skills as well from being a part of our program. Having a passion for whatever it is you do will create a desire to work at improving all aspects in life.”

“Having high school students involved with our youth camp also allows our athletes the opportunity to develop strong leadership skills.” Although, the numbers were low due to getting a late start the coaches were pleased with the kids that showed up and their hard work over the three days of the camp. Camp focused on basic fundamentals of the game with skill work in form shooting, passing, rebounding, ball handling and defense. The kids also got to participate in competitive games and shooting contest. The winners of the shooting contest were as follows; Max Retter – Free Throw Champion, Zach Fulk – Mikan Champion, and Trendon Spence, Spot Shooting Champion.

GREENVILLE – After winning silver in 2014, Geoff Burchfield went into the 2016 Freedom Games in Tampa, Fla. with one goal in mind…win gold! Fortunately for the 28-year-old martial arts grappling champion from Greenville, the goal was not only achieved, but exceeded. The evening before the gold medal match, Burchfield was honored as the International Grappling Competitor of the Year by the U.S. Martial Arts Hall of Fame. His next day opponent was also inducted as Mater of the Year during the same ceremony. “That was a huge honor that I did not expect,” said Burchfield. “I knew the match was going to be a challenge if I wanted to win.” After the match was over and Burchfield looked at the time clock, he couldn’t believe his eyes. Not only did he beat a top U.S. grappling champion, he did it

in less than a minute….59 seconds to be exact. “I was totally shocked at how the match went,” explained Burchﬁeld. “It proved to me that all of my training and dedication to the sport has truly paid off.” After the match, the pair went at it again in a champion challenge re-match. This time they went the full distance and the judges declared it a draw. Grappling is a jiu-jitsu, wrestling style of martial arts in which no striking or weapons are involved. Some common types of grappling techniques include clinching, takedowns, submissions holds, turnovers and sweeps. Burchﬁeld has only been competing in the sport for just over three years. Starting off at a training center in Englewood under the direction of his sensei Grandmaster Dr. Jim Thomas, he now trains locally with other competitors and hopes to

eventually open up a training facility of his own in Darke County. He told The Early Bird he had almost given up the sport until he and his ex-wife lost a child due to pregnancy complications. He says that grappling now is his outlet to cope with that loss and keeps him focused in a positive direction. He has two children, an 8-year-old daughter and a son who is 4, that truly inspire him to keep reaching for more. Burchﬁeld says he is currently training for the upcoming Martial Arts World Cup, scheduled for February 2017 in Jamaica and hopefully the Arnold Classic competition in Columbus in March 2017. Burchﬁeld would like to thank all the local sponsors who help with marketing, training and competition expenses: 548Tire, Go Go Gamers, Mora Photography, Mint Print Screen Printing Services, Darke County Pets & Sup-

Larson takes victory at Eldora Speedway AO tourney at its best BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

ROSSBURG – The race may have a new name, Aspen Dental Eldora Dirt Derby, but since the very first race four years ago some things have not changed, including a lot of excitement and hard racing. Thirty-two NASCAR Camping World Trucks racing on a 1/2-mile, high banked oval doesn’t seem to be spectacular in itself, but there is one thing that separates it from all other races in the series. It’s on dirt. When the checkered flag waved on the fourth annual truck series race after 150 laps, it was Kyle Larson driving to victory lane. It was not an easy task for the driver who had come close twice before in this race, but the third time was a charm for the veteran NASCAR racer. Being down a lap early in the race couldn’t stop the eventual race winner. Larson was forced to race to the front of the field twice in the three segment race. After the first 40-lap segment, Bobby Pierce held the lead, but it didn’t last for long. After starting in seventh position, Larson made his way to the front and performed an Eldora slide-job past Pierce to take the lead.

That lead was short-lived when Larson cut down a tire. Larson spun after the tire went down, but NASCAR determined it was an intentional spin to bring out the caution and penalized the driver by putting him a lap down. Larson explained it was better to lose one lap under caution than to lose six laps if he was forced to pit under green. The second segment of the race (50-laps) saw Pierce battling with past champion Bell. However, Bell couldn’t get by Pierce who had a strong car most of the night. Even though Larson was back

in the pack, he wasn’t planning to stay there. He continued to move up and got back on the lead lap with a caution on lap 72 with the “Lucky Dog” pass. During the caution he talked to Fox Sports 1 commentator Michael Waltrip and said he was conﬁdent he could get back up to the front of the pack. He was able to back up that statement and moved up 11 spots in the second segment to end the segment in the top 10 at sixth place. On lap 95, Larson moved into third place and ﬁve laps later he was sitting in second place behind Pierce.

With 31 laps remaining in the race, the field was once again slowed by caution and the Pierce crew got some bad news. He radioed to his crew that his truck was stuck in fourth gear. That would be bad news for the re-start. Larson easily got by the race leader to the take the lead for good. He led the race for a total of 48 laps. Pierce led for 102-laps, but would not finish in the top 20. With 24 laps to go, Pierce tried to get a run on Larson, but ended up in the wall and cut down a tire. The accident ended his night and left him with a 25th place finish.

GREENVILLE – More than 50-teams converged on Sater Park for the 30th Annual Annie Oakley Baseball Tournament. “Very pleased,” said GCBL (Greenville Citizens Baseball League) commissioner Scott McKinniss. “Fifty-plus ball teams. Great sportsmanship. Overall very successful weekend…30th year for the tournament.” “Weather cooperated. It’s been beautiful,” McKinniss said. “Just couldn’t be more pleased with the volunteers this weekend…and coaches, parents and board members.” “The Greenville Township ﬁre department really helped us out this weekend by keeping the dust down,” continued McKinniss. “They came out every night and watered down the diamonds.” With 52-teams taking to the diamonds at Sater Park, the very successful tournament had to reluctantly turn many teams away from the 2016 event. “We had to start this tournament on Thursday night,” stated McKinniss. “We had to play Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday to get all the games in. Just awesome people, awesome parents, awesome players. Great to see every-

Coach Joseph leads Wave basketball camp BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville held its boys basketball camp under the guidance of new coach Kyle Joseph. “Both the morning session and the afternoon one I was just really impressed with how hard the kids worked, listening skills, following directions,” said Coach Joseph. “Because of that we were able to get a lot done.” The four-day camp had morning sessions for incoming boys grade 2-5 and afternoon sessions for grades 6-9. “We worked on a lot of the basic fundamentals while having fun with them. Some of those core things every single day whether that be ball handling, pivots or shooting form,” Joseph said. “Work on those same things every single day and try to build on it and try to encourage the kids that it’s OK to make mistakes…

making mistakes is ﬁne. Just keep working.” Assisting Coach Joseph was Deji Ibitayo, a Chicago native and recent University of Akron Zips basketball player. Ibitayo leaves August 3rd to play for the KK Spartak Subotica probasketball team in Serbia. “Deji was the ﬁrst person I thought of,” said Joseph. “One, he’s getting ready to play professionally over in Serbia. When I was still living in North Carolina I was trying to get him to come

down and stay with my wife and me for a week just to work him out, make sure he is in shape and he is ready to go play over there.” “So now with getting to Greenville…got him about four-and-a-half hours from Greenville, so a lot easier for him to do, to come stay here for the week,” continued Joseph. “He helped me by working camp which he does a great job of…he always did when he was a player at Akron and I can help him out a little bit by

getting workouts in before camp and after camp.” “He’s just a great guy to have around the kids,” added Joseph. “A good example not just for the kind of basketball player he is but what kind of worker and person he is.” Coach Joseph shared ideas he would like to put in place to continue to build on what the campers learned. “What I have planned… this winter there are youth leagues and different youth

programs. Obviously sixth graders and below. I want to have a camp Saturday mornings that will be run by the high school players,” said Joseph. “Every Saturday morning during the season they come in the gyms…whether it be them shooting around, something probably similar to this where we are working on fundamentals and games during the winter. That hasn’t been ﬁnalized but I think we’re going to be able to do something like that.” Coach Joseph would like to see his basketball players play other sports while continually working on their basketball skills even if for just a few minutes a day. “I realize they play other sports and I want them to play other sports,” said Joseph. “Even if you’re playing football or soccer or playing baseball, track, whatever it is you can still take out that time to do ﬁve minutes of something.”

body smile, laugh and have fun.” “We had six teams from Chillicothe. We had teams from northern Ohio. We had teams from Indiana, southern Ohio, Dayton, Cincinnati and Indianapolis. It’s well represented and with 50-plus teams. It has such a reputation from the founders of this tournament 30years ago that we probably turned away 25-teams. We just didn’t have anywhere for them.” “I think (the late) Dr. Harless would be very pleased,” said McKinniss. “He founded the tournament 30-years ago. “It’s been fun this week. What Dr. Harless started is still working.” The four-day weekend tournament was played under perfect skies and warm weather keeping a continual line at the park’s concession stand. “It was very good,” McKinniss said of the concession stand revenue. “Very successful. The concession is manned by volunteers.”

North Star hosts 19th annual 5K Angel Run BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

NORTH STAR – The 19th annual 5K Angel Run saw 414 runners compete in the event held in North Star, a town with a population of 236 people in northern Darke County. “Some of the races in the smaller communities have the biggest turnouts,” said Jordan Francis, President of the Darke County Wellness Challenge. “It’s really amazing to see the participation in some of these races.” The Angel Run is the 10th in a series of 13-5K races of the season that meet speciﬁc criteria to be included in the Darke County series. “It’s about promoting physical activity in the community,” said Jordan who also is Wayne Health Care’s

wellness coordinator. “The primary goal is to increase participation in 5K’s specifically…just increase physical activity.” The Sunday morning event started and finished at the North Star Park on the east end of town. John Winning, a 20-year old from Coldwater took first place honors with a time of 18:02.4 while 24-year old Jessica Albers crossed the finish line with a time of 18:09.1 good for a second place finish. Rounding out the top three spots was New Bremen’s 34-year old Chad Topp with a time of 18:24. The annual event also included a Fun Run for children prior the 5K race. “We did the “Beginners Guide to Hitting Your Stride”

this year,” said Francis. “It was a program based going from being sedentary to being able to complete a 5K walk or run. We don’t care if you are turning good times. It’s for people who have not done anything to be able to eventually complete a 5K.” “We had workshops at Family Health, Brethren Retirement Community and Wayne Health Care,” continued Francis. “Workshops - we gave general overviews of basic nutrition and exercise. Basic sleep recovery, stretching and then we give them a plan that starts fairly light, fairly easy and gets them to be able to complete a 5k in nine-weeks. We held onsite exercise sessions each week.” “We meet out at the park every Monday at 6:30 p.m.,”

Frances added. “The whole idea of it was to be ready for the breast cancer awareness 5K.” The Breast Cancer Awareness 5K run will take place July 30th in Greenville followed by the YOLO Festival of Races September 4th in Greenville and the ﬁnal 5K

of the season, The SUNshine 5K on the 17th of September in Greenville. “Dave Knapp Ford gives a car to the Breast Cancer Awareness 5K every year,” Francis said. “It’s rafﬂed to one of the registrants for the race. You can’t beat that… that’s awesome.”

BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com VERSAILLES – Breast cancer survivor Marilyn Dirksen of North Star shared “Why I Relay” during the Darke County Relay for Life opening ceremony Friday, July 15, at Heritage Park in Versailles. One reason, she said was that the Relay for Life event “brings family, friends and Darke County together” for a good cause – to raise money for cancer research and education. Another reason is to give credit to those who spend countless hours as caregivers for loved ones battling the disease. After going through cancer treatment herself, Dirksen found herself spending a year as caregiver for her husband, Ron, who passed away from esophageal cancer three years ago. Caregivers, Dirksen said, show compassion, strength, love and care for those they are helping. Yet another is to participate with her relay team, Vision of Hope. “When I walk the team lap, I feel a sense of pride,” Dirksen explained. The Relay’s luminaries lit in honor of a survivor or in memory of someone who has died from cancer also count for Why I Relay, Dirksen told those gathered for the Relay’s opening ceremony. “When you walk around and see all those candles lit, I feel a sense of peace,” Dirksen said. Dirksen shared other personal reasons she has made it a point to participate in the county’s yearly relay event – the joy she feels baking items for her team’s bake sale fundraiser, and the fact that

through her bout with cancer her husband had hope – even painted a purple the Relay’s official color ribbon on their barn with the word “Hope.” “I hope someday to never hear that word cancer,” Dirksen said. Nineteen Relay for Life teams participated in this year’s relay, “Closing the Book on Cancer,” said event chair Joyce Johnson. About 50 cancer survivors were on hand to walk the first lap at Heritage Park and were joined by their caregivers for a second lap. Also during the opening ceremony, a moment of silence was held on behalf of Robin Supinger who lost her life July 11 as the result of a traffic accident near Troy. Mrs. Supinger was the Patient Navigator at Upper Valley Medical

Center in Troy, working one-on-one with cancer patients. “We remember her as a special person and an advocate of the relay,” Johnson said. Following the opening ceremony and survivor and team laps, relay teams walked laps through the night into Saturday morning, winning rafﬂes and bidding on a variety of auction items. All proceeds from the event go to the American Cancer Society. Madison Ankrom, 10, traveled with her mother to help with Bradford’s Joan’s Kids team. Joan Shellenbarg, Ankrom’s great-grandmother, passed away in 2012 from cancer. Her ﬁve children organized Joan’s Kids team several years prior, and have continued to raise money in her honor

for cancer research and education. Ankrom has participated in the Darke County Relay for Life “several times. It’s a good way to raise money for cancer,” she said. Deb Richard, Ankrom’s grandmother and one of Joan’s children, said her team wanted to raise $15,000 this year. Besides team fundraisers, they’ve also secured several corporate sponsors. Relay for Life Area Manager Josh Moore was in attendance for the county’s relay. “We’ve got a good turnout,” Moore said. “And this weather, you just can’t complain about it.” The Darke County goal for 2016 was set at $51,000 said Moore. That goal was exceeded by $2,000 as of Tuesday, July 19 when donations totaled $53,000.

Bread of Life makes move to more visible location BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – June was a busy month for Greenville’s Bread of Life Christian Book Store, with its move to a new location – 533 S. Broadway St. “It’s a great location,” says co-owner Julie Strait. “We wanted to be in the middle of everything. We’re already loving it here.” Strait and her husband Scott are co-owners of the long-time Greenville retailer, along with Dr. Doug Gordon and his wife Michelle. The store was formerly located on Fourth Street and while it was a little bigger retail space, the trafﬁc wasn’t as busy, Strait said. The new location is “just right for us,” Strait said. “Bread of Life has been in Greenville 30 years,” Strait explained, and was founded by Don and Susan Smearsoll. The Straits and Gordons purchased the business when the Smearsolls retired three years ago this coming September. Specializing in Christian books and literature, plus gift and decorative items, Strait says the “number one best seller is the Bible.” Inspirational gifts of all kinds can be found at Bread of Life, as well as items distributed by Gifts With a Cause – a variety of items handcrafted by those living in Third World countries and places such as Guatemala, Bali, Indonesia, India, and Thailand. Wall hangings, jewelry, greeting cards, baby gifts, pottery, inspirational clothing and bags, music and books may be found at Bread of Life. The story also will special order Sunday school curriculum for local teachers and has hosted author signings for Christian best sellers, including Beverly Lewis. Books by local authors also may be found at Bread of Life, including Pastor

Lisa Jennings, executive director of the Community Foundation of Randolph County, presents a grant check to United Way Executive Director Christy Baker.

Grants provide books to Darke Co. youth GREENVILLE – The Darke County United Way recently received two grant awards for the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. The Dolly Parton Imagination Library program provides a free book every month to children ages five years old or younger. There are only two criteria to be enrolled in the program. The first is the child must live in Darke County and the second is he/she must be five years old or younger. No other criteria are required for this program. According to a study conducted in April 2013 by the U.S. Department of Education and the National Institute of Literacy, 32 million adults in the U.S. can’t read. That’s 14 percent of the popula-

tion. Twenty-one percent of adults in the U.S. read below a ﬁfth grade level, and 19 percent of high school graduates cannot read. Dolly Parton created the Dolly Parton Imagination Library with the intent to combat illiteracy in the United States. The purpose of the Dolly Parton Imagination Library is to foster a love of reading among preschool children and their families by providing them with the gift of a specially selected book each month. By mailing high quality, age-appropriate books directly to their homes, children will be excited about books and feel the magic that books can create. Moreover, the program ensures that ev-

ery child will have books, regardless of their family’s income. The Darke County United Way received grant awards from the Community Foundation of Randolph County through the Union City Fund ($1,000) for Union City, Ohio children and the Greenville Rotary Club ($1,500) for Darke County children. These awards will allow the Darke County United Way to serve approximately 100 children this year. Currently, 697 children in Darke County receive a book each month. “There are over 3,000 children currently living in Darke County who are ﬁve years old or younger. We are only serving 23 percent of the eligible

GREENVILLE – A bright sunny day in the middle of July - perfect for water balloons, water guns and slip ‘n slides. That’s just what a group of local 6-8 year olds did this past week when they participated in the Darke County Parks Splish, Splash Camp, based at Shawnee Prairie. The campers learned all about water properties, water density, water tension and the water cycle while playing games and conducting cool science experiments. Thanks to the summer program offered by the county park district, youth ages 6-15 may attend a variety of week-long summer camps, says naturalist Mandy Martin. The camps began in the late 1990s and have evolved through the years to include more age groups and more topics, Martin said. The 2015 camps include Splish, Splash and Rocks in our Pockets for 6-8 year-old; The Forest Awakens and Carnivorous Creatures for 8 and 9 year-

olds; Frontier Survival and Get Out and Paddle for 1012 year-olds; and Adventure Zone for 13-15 year olds. All camps include hands-on activities and some involve ﬁeld trips away from Darke County. The 13-15 year old campers are treated to adventures like ziplining near Columbus and mountain biking at a Five Rivers Metro Park in Dayton. They’ve also gone caving and rock climbing. Kayaking on the Greenville Creek or Stillwater River also are favorite activities for the older kids. Volunteers who have been trained through the American Canoe Association teach paddling camp, Martin said. “The campers learn to canoe or kayak on ﬂat and moving water. They also have an overnighter in a tent,” she said. “We change the activities” from year to year, Martin explained, to give campers a wide variety of experiences. Camps for the younger children are planned around nature, Martin said, “and why it’s important to save it” while the older campers enjoy more adventurous camps. During this week’s Splish, Splash camp, a

group of 6-8 year-olds were led through different science experiments and fun activities featuring water. On Tuesday, they spent the day outside playing with water pistols, a slip n’ slide and water balloons. They also learned a little about archeology with an “ice excavation.” Each child received a plastic yogurt container with a piece of ice that contained a plastic insect or mammal. The object was to see how they could get the ice to melt in order to “excavate” what was frozen inside the ice. Other Splish, Splash events included learning

how clouds form and how it rains, going creeking in Greenville Creek to ﬁnd what lives inside the water and creating art with elements of water. Six-year-olds Adalyn Hartsock and Ethan Subler were eager to share how they’ve enjoyed Splish Splash Camp. “All of it,” Subler said with a happy grin. “My favorite was making clouds and how it rains,” Hartsock shared.

DARKE COUNTY – A $500,000 grant Darke County commissioners applied for earlier this year has been approved by the state’s Local Government Innovation Council. The safety capital improvement grant will be used to construct a communications tower in Union City. The county’s local contribution will be $176,778 for a total project cost of $676,728. The local contribution will come from the county’s general fund, said commissioner Mike Rhoades. On Wednesday, commissioners Rhoades and Mike Stegall (Diane Delaplane was excused) heard Margaret Hayes, the county’s assistant prosecuting attorney, report she had reviewed the grant contract, allowing commission to sign an agreement with the Ohio Development Services Agency and move forward. Plans call for the construction a 180-foot MARCS multi-agency radio communications tower, which will

be located on State Route 47 in Union City. In order to apply for the grant, commission had to seek the cooperation of the county’s townships as well as Union City. The Union City tower will be Darke County’s fourth communications tower and is needed due to the “dead space” in that area, causing communication problems between the county’s emergency agencies. The new tower also will allow Darke County to be able to communicate with surrounding counties such as Preble, Miami and Mercer, all who already use the MARCS system. “We are a county standing alone,” Hayes said. “We can’t communicate with surrounding counties.” Darke County’s new tower also will allow communication with nearby Indiana jurisdictions, Rhoades said. “It’s best for everybody,”

Rhoades pointed out, using the example of emergency personnel communicating with schools in outlying areas of the county. “If an incident happens in that school, now we can get in and help.” The equipment that is planned to be installed is in Union City will be newer “used equipment” and will be maintained by the state, Hayes explained. “My understanding is it’s not that old. We build it and enter into a service contract” for maintenance. The county will initially pay for the installation and will be reimbursed with the grant monies, Rhoades said. The project initially was to cost close to $900,000, with MARCS coming back to say they could lower costs by using the used equipment. MARCS will be donating the building, generator and propane tank to run the generator.

Ohio Wave tryout dates set GREENVILLE – Tryouts for the 2017 Ohio Wave will be held Aug. 6 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. for ages 10u and 12u and Aug. 7 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. for ages 14u, 16u, and 18u.

Darke County expected to be bright with week-long revival CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Time to Revive, a Texasbased ministry committed to pursuing revival in the U.S. and beyond, is making its way to Darke County from August 7-13 for reviveOHIO. In preparation for the week-long event, Darke County churches are working together for what some are calling a â&#x20AC;&#x153;game changerâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is sure to impact many lives in the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During this time we will no longer be â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Darkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; County, we will be â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Brightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; County,â&#x20AC;? noted Greenville Mayor Mike Bowers in a reviveOHIO promotional video. Kyle Lance Martin, who started the movement in Dallas in 2007, and members of his team are bringing the spark of revival theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced in many other states to Darke County. Their mission is to witness the body of Christ

revived by making disciples to impact the state and transform the nation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a way to reach the hurting and lost without cramming religion down their throats,â&#x20AC;? Martin stated at a June 28 meeting in Greenville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel that reviveOHIO will impact our community by helping to unite the Body of Christ to join together in order to bring the Light of Christ to the people of Darke County, and jointly proclaim that Jesus is THE answer to our struggles and issues,â&#x20AC;? said Mark Burd, Co-Pastor of the First Heavy Metal Church of Christ in Greenville. Pastor Steve Harman of Living Waters Ministry in Versailles said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Time to Revive shifted a meeting in London to come to Darke County because they felt it was where the Lord wants them next. Many are sensing that this revival will be unlike any we have ever seen.â&#x20AC;? The Darke County revi-

veOHIO event is set to take place August 7-13. Each day begins with prayer at 7 a.m., a free breakfast at 8 a.m. and then outreach. Teams will hit the streets to talk and pray with the hurting and the lostâ&#x20AC;Ś showing the same love and compassion Jesus showed when he walked the streets of Judea. After another round of lunch, training and outreach, each day culminates with a free dinner and a 7 p.m. praise and worship service at the host church, EUM Church, located at 1451 Sater Street in Greenville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so excited about what God is doing in Darke County! For the ďŹ rst time since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lived here, the Christian Church is coming together under the leadership of Jesus Christ. Churches across Darke County are suspending their work for one week to join other churches in Kingdom work,â&#x20AC;? added Lead Pastor Jeff Harper of EUM Church. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Congregations have already begun

Commissioners hear concerns about proposed license tax SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Darke County Commission held the ďŹ rst of two public hearings Monday for a proposed tax that would add a $10 fee onto license registrations for all motorized vehicles within the county. Monies collected by the tax would go for upkeep of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 521 miles of roads and 531 bridges. None of the money would go into the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general fund. This is the ďŹ rst time since 1992 that commissioners have proposed such a county tax. About 15 concerned residents were in attendance for the ďŹ rst public hearing. Many voiced their concerns over the proposed tax, some accusing commissioners for wanting the tax solely for the work being done to update roads around the Darke County Airport. Jim Surber, county engineer, said in late June he did agree to â&#x20AC;&#x153;fund and perform the reconstruction of Chase Road,â&#x20AC;? at the south end of the county airport as part of receiving monies if the proposed $10 tax is approved. Matt Oliver asked commission about the Chase Road project on Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why are we spending money on Chase Road,â&#x20AC;? Oliver asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chase Road will be turned into a county road,â&#x20AC;? Commissioner Mike Rhoades said, noting that the work will include widening the roadway â&#x20AC;&#x153;as wide as (Old State Route) 242.â&#x20AC;? A discussion ensued between commissioners (Diane Delaplane was excused) and concerned

residents about plans to lengthen the airport runway, necessitating the need to widen and improve Chase Road. Commissioners believe the need to lengthen the runway would beneďŹ t local industry, which provides jobs and in turn a tax base for the county. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Planes can come in, but they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take off,â&#x20AC;? Rhoades said, sharing a list of businesses ready to use the airport â&#x20AC;&#x201C; BSF, Whirlpool, Midmark and Tony Stewart Racing (Eldora). â&#x20AC;&#x153;The truth of the situation is, you are doing this for the airport,â&#x20AC;? concerned resident Mike Oliver said of the proposed tax. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trying to hide it,â&#x20AC;? Rhoades said, also pointing out that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;FAA is driving the rules on what we have to follow.â&#x20AC;? Other comments questioned how increased activity would affect the safety for those living near the airport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want the extra 300 feet (of runway) for safety,â&#x20AC;? Commissioner Mike Stegall said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These companies employ and the more they employ the better off weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be.â&#x20AC;? Stegall also pointed out that Darke Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unemployment rate was among the lowest in the state, sitting at 3.5 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an economic boon for us.â&#x20AC;? Other concerns addressed during the hearing included why a speciďŹ c religious group was not taxed on driving tractors and farm equipment on the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roads and how the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engineering department is making do with less revenue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time we started getting money from the Amish,â&#x20AC;? asked John Archey of Gettysburg, most likely refer-

ring to the local German Baptist Brethren community. Rhoades said that topic had been raised several times before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we tax them weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to tax every tractor. This is not the ďŹ rst time this concern has come up and the state says â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (the suggestion) is not going to go anywhere.â&#x20AC;? Archey suggested commission take a look at how the town of Shipshewana, Ind. has resolved this concern. Shane Coby, county highway superintendent took the ďŹ&#x201A;oor to point out several ways the county was being forced to cut in order to maintain roads and bridges, keep up with mowing and snow removal. Coby said residents will notice that county workers were performing more chip and seal on roadways â&#x20AC;&#x201C; instead of asphalt paving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chip/seal lasts approximately seven years,â&#x20AC;? Coby said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We used to be on a 10-year rotationâ&#x20AC;? for asphalt paving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re now up to 15.â&#x20AC;? Surber explained how the state of Ohio disperses the gas tax, which is decreasing due to high efďŹ ciency vehicles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The state gas tax is collected in Columbus and every county, every township gets the same amount from the gas tax,â&#x20AC;? Surber said â&#x20AC;&#x201C; regardless of the number of bridges or miles of road maintained by each county or township. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are buying less gas, less tax is being collected. Darke County is either blessed or damned by the amount of roads and bridges.â&#x20AC;? The second hearing is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday, July 27, in commission chambers.

to pray together, worship together, and plan together on how to reach Darke County for Christ. This is a move of God, and when God moves, lives are forever changed! Church in Darke County will never look the same as we partner together for the Kingdom of Christ.â&#x20AC;? Training and prayer meetings will be held at 7 p.m. every Tuesday until revival week at the Christian Missionary Alliance

Church at 306 Devor Street in Greenville. Martin said hundreds of volunteers throughout the United States will be coming to Darke County to help in this revival effort.

Colorful bike racks installed in business district SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Bike riders are now able to secure their bicycles on brand new racks in the downtown Greenville business district. Eight colorful racks in the shape of bicycles, are the result of a partnership between Mainstreet Greenville, Wayne HealthCare, the Greyson James Steyer Fund and a crowd-sourcing campaign through Fundly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an online fundraising website, explained Amber Garrett, Mainstreet Greenville director. Two smaller black bike racks also were installed, Garrett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited about it,â&#x20AC;? Garrett said of the installation of the new racks, which are located on sidewalks near the â&#x20AC;&#x153;entranceâ&#x20AC;? to the downtown business district, as well as along some other downtown intersection. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to miss the colorful additions

to downtown â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the racks are various hues of orange, yellow, blue, red, green, and purple. And depending on how a rider secures a bike, each rack can hold three or four bikes each. The project is timely, Garrett explained, due to the work being done by the Darke County Park District to extend the bike path through downtown Greenville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to prepare for the bike path,â&#x20AC;? Garrett explained, noting that she was grateful for the support of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s street department, which installed the racks this past week â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just in time for Annie Oakley Sidewalk Sales set for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, July 28-30. About 50 individuals contributed for the project through Fundly, Garrett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of local individuals donating funds, we exceeded our goal and got two smaller racks for Third and Fourth streets.â&#x20AC;? Wayne HealthCare was happy to play a role in the bike rack project, said the

hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wellness coordinator Jordan Francis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wayne HealthCare is dedicated to improving opportunities for the community to be physically active,â&#x20AC;? Jordan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lifestyle factors like physical activity are vital for the maintenance and improvements of health.â&#x20AC;? Jordan also cited a community health assessment goal was to encourage more adults to improve their physical health by participating in activities such as walking, running or biking, noting those who are active physically help decrease the prevalence of chronic illnesses such as type 2 diabetes. Members of the Mainstreet Greenville Design Committee also were instrumental in planning the bike project. The committee, Garrett said, works on â&#x20AC;&#x153;anything that enhances the environmentâ&#x20AC;? downtown, including caring for ďŹ&#x201A;owers, the banners and the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speaker system that was installed last year.

General Information The Sheriff is issued Orders of Sales from the Clerk of Courts Office. Sales are advertised in The Early Bird once every week for three consecutive weeks. The Sheriff’s Office does not mail or give away a list of properties or information about purchasing foreclosed property. The properties are not available for tour or inspection as the Sheriff’s Office does not have keys to any properties. Prior to the sale, most properties are appraised from the outside only. The property is sold “as is”, caveat emptor (let the buyer beware). The Sheriff’s office does not have information on liens or taxes. Real estate tax information can be found at the following web site: darkepropertymax.governmax.com real estate appraisal database. All sales are held in the meeting room of the County Commissioners Building, 520 South Broadway, Greenville. All sales begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. Bidding information Bidding starts at two-thirds of the appraised value. Successful bidders must deposit 15% of the purchase price at the time of the sale. Personal check (proper ID, local check signed in our presence), cashier’s check or cash is accepted. The buyer will be required to sign a disclaimer that relieves the Sheriff and appraising agents of liabilities of hazards, or past due bills, as it it the responsibility of the buyer to look into these matters before the sale date. The unpaid balance of the purchase price must be paid at the confirmation of the sale, which is approximately 30 days after the date of sale.More Information You may contact Abby Wilson at (937) 547-4603 if you require further information.

WIC event promotes breastfeeding

It’s never too early for kids to learn about staying fit and enjoying the outdoors.

GREENVILLE – August is Breastfeeding Awareness Month in Ohio and Aug. 1-7 is World Breastfeeding Week (WBW). Research suggests that breastfeeding is a key modiﬁable factor for disease for both mothers and infants. This year’s Breastfeeding Awareness Month theme in Ohio is Breastfeeding Protects: mom, baby, and Earth. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the World Health Organiza-

tion (WHO) recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life and continued breastfeeding with the addition of appropriate solid food for the first year and beyond. “In light of the monetary and life saving benefits of breastfeeding, all elements of the community, must cooperate and support breastfeeding,” said Deanna Schlarman, WIC Program Director. “Ultimately, our whole society benefits from

OSWEGO, NY – Chip Fashner, Reel Easy Charters, is starting a new business venture in August 2016. Fashner has been a licensed U.S. Caption for over two years and is excited to bring an opportunity for customers to catch salmon. The new business venture will be located in Oswego, NY on Lake Ontario. Fashner commented, “Many people salmon ﬁsh on the west coast, we are excited to offer a chance to catch King Salmon on Lake Ontario much closer to our Greenville home. The salmon on Lake Ontario average 20 – 30 pounds

and will be a thrill for an angler to catch.” Since this is a new business venture for Reel Easy Charters they are offering a discount this year. Fashner has fished Lake Michigan for 10 years for King Salmon. According to the DNR, the salmon population in Lake Michigan has dropped about 75 percent from its peak in 2012. Fashner feels like it is time to move to another location in order for clients to have an exciting fishing charter. For more information on salmon fishing, contact Chip Fashner at Reel Easy Charters on Facebook or (937) 459-7678.

having healthier mothers, babies and children when breastfeeding is promoted, protected and supported.” To celebrate this special month and to provide additional information to the public, all pregnant and breastfeeding moms are invited the fourth annual WIC Mommy and Me Shower.

The event will be held Aug. 3, 10 a.m. to noon, at the South Park Shelter House on Jackson Street, Greenville. There will be lots of great giveaways. For more information about breastfeeding or the Mommy and Me Shower, call the Darke County WIC Ofﬁce at 547-1776.

Naturally Fit Series New ﬁshing business with Darke Co. Parks GREENVILLE – Darke County Parks is beginning a new series of ﬁtness programs called Naturally Fit occurring the fourth Monday of every month. Everyone wants to lead healthier lives and spend more time outdoors. However, workout machines aren’t always environmentally friendly, and gyms aren’t very exciting. Besides, sometimes life just gets in the way. Use these programs as an “excuse” to schedule time outside and get mov-

ing. Each of these programs focuses more on ﬁtness than nature, with everyone moving at their own pace, whether that’s one loop or 10. The July program will take place July 25, 6:30 p.m., at Alice Bish Park with a one-mile loop trail along the Greenville Creek, a state designated Scenic River. Meet at this easy to get to park off Ohio Street in Greenville, and bring a water bottle.

PALS can hurry in for hummingbirds These signs are now posted in areas known for where lawn chairs are normally set out before the fair.

Don’t set out your fair chairs too early GREENVILLE – As a reminder per the April 6, 2016 Board Meeting Minutes for the Darke County Agricultural Society, the Fairboard approved implementing, that for safety and unrestricted pre-fair preparation, effective with the 2016 Fair, no chairs will be permitted to be

placed on the Fairgrounds until seven days prior to the start of the annual fair. Chairs placed prior to that date will be removed. The pre-fair chair signage is now in place for safety & ﬁnal fair preparations. The board thanks you in advance for your cooperation.
