Greenville goes ‘blue’ CLINTON RANDALL

GREENVILLE – Following the recent senseless attacks aimed at police officers, the Greenville community has come together behind law enforcement across the country. To show support for the men and women wearing a badge, the downtown traffic circle fountain has gone blue. As part of a community effort, led by Greenville resident Kathy Beam working with Mayor Mike Bowers and Street Department Superintendent Ryan Delk, the city was able to create a blue water effect at the fountain. According to Beam, donations are still being sought for a second phase of the project – multicolored lighting that can be used to reflect various causes throughout the

year. “With the events facing our society in today’s world, it is important to show our support for those that protect our community and for them to know we stand behind them,” Beam told The Early Bird. “When speaking with Ryan Delk my excitement grew because our beautiful fountain circle can not only be blue, but with public donations the city will purchase multicolored lights that can be used for cancer awareness months, Greenville Greenwave, Veterans Day and so on. We live in a community that cares about one another so it’s important to show that support!” Donations can be dropped off at The Flower Patch, located at 104 Rhoades Ave. in Greenville, during normal business hours.

GREENVILLE – Even though the number of contestants was lower than in past few years, the competition in the Miss Annie Oakley Shooting Contest was as tough and exciting as ever. With only six young ladies competing for the title, the festival committee combined the traditional two nights of shooting into one. On July 28, Katie Hurd was the last girl standing to earn the 2016 Miss Annie Oakley title. The contest requires the contestants to shoot at a balloon with a BB gun from pre-determined distances. The contestant who successfully shoots from the furthest distance without missing both of their opportunities from each distance is the winner. Competition begins at 25-feet and increases by five-feet in each round. Hurd outlasted the five other girls by hitting the target at 100-feet. Competing in the contest was nothing new for Hurd. The daughter of Kris and Dean Hurd finished as first runner-up in the past two competitions, but as Annie Oakley’s motto states, she kept trying until she hit the bull’s eye of success. The Greenville High School junior said she was nervous for most of the contest, “I could feel my mom’s eyes burning into the back of my head the entire time. It was very nerve racking.” She continued, “I was just wait-

ing for someone to get out so my nerves would calm down a little bit.” The victory was well-deserved. Hurd said she has been practicing for the past month-and-a-half. All of the competitors proved to have excellent marksmanship. They went through seven rounds of shooting before any of the girls missed a shot. Even at a distance of 80-feet, only three shots had been missed in the entire competition. The ﬁrst contestant was eliminated at 85-feet when she missed on both attempts. Another competitor failed to hit the target at 90-feet; leaving four young ladies in the competition. Ninety-ﬁve feet proved to be a deciding round for the girls. Two young ladies, Kelsey Gilbert and Morgan Hissong missed at that distance, which forced

a shootout to determine who would be the second runner-up. Before the shootout could be held, the two remaining contestants, Hurd and the eventual first runner-up, Megan Troutwine, continued to the 100-foot mark. Hurd was up first and missed her first shot, but was successful on her second attempt. Troutwine was unable to hit either of her shots, giving Hurd the victory. Troutwine, 15, is a student Ansonia High School and is the daughter of Larry and Marlene Troutwine. In the shootout, Gilbert and Hissong battled back and forth for several rounds. Both girls were able to hit the mark at 95-, 100- and 105-feet. Gilbert missed on both attempts at 110-feet, but Hissong promptly hit the target on her first try to seal the sec-

ond runners-up position. Hissong, 15, is a student at Franklin Monroe High School and is the daughter of Dave and Annie Hissong. Gilbert, 17, is a student at Greenville High School and is the daughter of Nicole Gilbert and Toby Gilbert. The night before (Wednesday, July 27), Hurd was honored to receive the best costume award. That competition was just as difﬁcult to decide as the shooting contest. A tie caused the committee to bring in its alternate judge to cast the deciding vote. Hurd said she had help from her grandmother, Suzanne Huston, in creating her costume. Also competing were Hannah Bingham, 17, daughter of Larry and Kim Bingham, and Layla Carrington, 15, daughter of Amber DeRegnaucourt and Mike Carrington.

District to save art at Greenville Junior High SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREEENVILLE Representatives from David Terry Fine Art in Columbus have determined four paintings depicting the history of Greenville are worthy of restoration. The four-panel mural set currently hangs in Greenville Junior High, which is set for demolition within the next year, according to the district’s agreement with the Ohio School Facilities Commission. “We’re making every attempt to preserve them and bring them into the high school. They are truly a treasure,” district treasurer Carla Surber told board members during their July board meeting. The preservationists visited the junior high on July 21 to review the paintings, which were completed in the 1930s as part of the Works Project Administration (WPA) Federal Art

Program. The artist, E. Paul Wilhelm, was an instructor at the Dayton Art Institute, who, Surber said, studied under prominent artist Diego Rivera. According to a history titled “New Deal Art in Dayton, Ohio,” several other paintings were completed for area schools and public buildings as part of the WPA art project. Dedicated and displayed at what was then Greenville High School, the four oil-on-canvas paintings were commissioned in honor of the 150th anniversary of the Opening of the Northwest Territories, which was Sept. 23-27, 1938. The paintings depict the events leading up to the signing of the Treaty of Greene Ville in 1795. Greenville High School art supervisor Anna Bier and Siegfried Weng, director of the Dayton Art Institute collaborated on the art project. The Greenville center painting (9’x8’) is

dedicated to the signing of the Treaty, showing General Anthony Wayne and Chief Little Turtle in the foreground with staffs of Wayne and other Indian Chiefs standing behind their commanders. The right painting (8’x6’) shows a group of early Americans having difﬁculty moving forward; the left side panel, (8’x6) depicts the defeat of the Indians at Fallen Timbers. The top panel (3’x12’) shows President George Washington, General Anthony Wayne, Arthur St. Clair, Chief Little Turtle, and Captain William Wells. “The paintings,” Surber said, teach a lot about Fallen Timers and the Treaty of Green Ville” and called the district’s plan to restore them “a very deserved treatment” that “will make them available to the public. Stay tuned. Within the next year they will be hanging in the high school beautifully restored.” In 1976, the paintings were restored, but over the past 40 years, have

sustained some damage and wear-and tear. Dick Brown, president of the Greenville High School Alumni Association was in attendance when the preservationists met with school ofﬁcials about the proposed restoration project. “I am interested in seeing that the paintings stay with the school,” Brown said, noting that the larger canvas will most likely be placed in a prominent position in the high school. The restoration work, Brown said, could not be completed while students are occupying the building, but would commence after the school closes down. “As of now, all the paintings are hoping to get moved to the high school,” Brown said, following restoration. Board president Fred Matix conﬁrmed that restoration work would be started after students are moved into the new building on Ohio Street, which is set for the beginning of January.

A Columbus art restoration company has determined the four oil paintings depicting the history of Greenville can be restored.

Matix said that as of this time, the junior high building is slated to be the last of the district’s four buildings scheduled to be demolished. Matix also noted school ofﬁcials worked closely with the OSFC to develop a plan for de-

with his girlfriend, Veronica Southerland in her Hummer, traveling northbound on North Broadway Street. Dispatch also notified the officer the suspect was being followed by the complaining party Tyler Kress and Taylor Kress. The officer made contact with the occupants of both vehicles and was told by the witnesses they saw Pollard exit the Hummer while stopped for a traffic light. He then walked up to the Homer Simpson statue sitting on a sidewalk bench and said “Not today, Homer.” He proceeded to pick up the statue and throw it on the ground, causing it to break into several pieces. Southerland told officers she saw Pollard damage the statue. Pollard admitted to have been drinking and picking up the statue and causing damage. An officer made contact with Doug’s Arcade owner Loren Barger, who advised he wanted a report and charges filed. Two other witnesses also

gave statements. Pollard was issued a misdemeanor citation for criminal damaging. On July 21 an officer was dispatched to Wieland Jewelers, 414 S. Broadway, in reference to a damaged front store window. Surveillance video shows a suspect walking southbound on the sidewalk to the store. The suspect is a white male. He was wearing a black hoodie with the hood up and black athletic pants. He also was wearing white tennis shoes, white gloves and was wearing a blue bandana around his mouth. The suspect had a blue bag. As he neared the window, he pulled a gray mediumsized rock, or possibly a piece of sidewalk, out of the bag. He throws the rock at the window three times. The force did not break the window, but did cause deep gouges and scrapes in the glass. After the third attempt the suspect picked up the rock, put it in the backpack and continued southbound to the alley. The suspect turned into the alley heading westbound. Drugs On July 24, an officer observed the defendant (not named in the report) operating a vehicle northbound on South Broadway near the traffic circle. The officer observed the passenger side door on the vehicle to open while the vehicle was in operation. The vehicle did not have a working rear

license plate light. The officer conducted a traffic stop and upon contact with the defendant noticed a strong odor of marijuana. The defendant stated he had smoked marijuana approximately an hour prior but denied there being any marijuana in the car. When told the officer could conduct a probable cause search, the defendant admitted there was marijuana in the car and reached into the glove box to remove a large bag of green leaf vegetation that he advised was marijuana. The defendant also removed a small blue glass pipe with a burnt residue inside that had the odor of marijuana. The defendant agreed to perform field sobriety tests, which he completed in a satisfactory manner. The defendant was issued a citation for drug abuse and released from the scene. The marijuana and drug paraphernalia were seized and transported to the police department where they were packaged and placed into evidence. On July 24 an officer observed a vehicle with no headlights traveling westbound on South Main Street. The officer made a traffic stop and as he was approaching the vehicle, noticed a strong odor of marijuana coming from in-

side. The officer made contact with the driver, Cory Penkal, who said he had just gotten off work. The officer asked Penkal if he had anything illegal inside the vehicle and Penkal replied no. The officer told Penkal he got a strong odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. Penkal then admitted he had smoked marijuana with co-workers after he got off work. Penkal was asked to step outside the vehicle and complete field sobriety testing. The officer searched the vehicle and found a small grinder with small pieces of marijuana and a small pipe with residue. Penkal was charged with possession of the marijuana drug paraphernalia and was released. On July 23 officers were dispatched to McDonalds, 1302 Wagner Ave. in reference to a vehicle nearly striking another vehicle while turning into the parking lot. The complainant also advised the dispatcher that the defendant (a juvenile) was behind her in the drive-thru lane and was vomiting outside the car door. Just prior to the officer’s arrival on scene, the complainant reported to dispatch that her vehicle

had been rear-ended by the defendant, while still in the drive-thru lane. Upon the officer’s arrival, he noticed the defendant’s vehicle located just past the ordering station in the drive-thru. The defendant was sitting in the driver’s seat and appeared to be asleep. There was a strong odor of alcohol coming from inside the vehicle. The officer noticed there was an unopened can of beer on the passenger side floorboard. The defendant became conscious and stated he was just waiting in line to get food. While speaking with the defendant, the officer noticed his speech was extremely slurred and his eyes were bloodshot. The defendant was asked to exit the vehicle. While he was getting out, the officer noticed the defendant grab a clear bag containing a green leaf vegetation and attempted to place the bag under the passenger seat of the vehicle. When asked what was in the bag, the defendant ignored the officer and continued exiting the vehicle. The officer then removed the bag from the vehicle and found the contents to have the odor

and appearance of marijuana. Once outside the vehicle, the defendant was very unsteady on his feet. The defendant’s pants also were unbuttoned and halfway down and appeared to be wet. The officer asked the defendant about his alcohol consumption and he said he’d had two drinks. The defendant did not remember striking the complainant’s vehicle and he continually stated he just wanted to get his food and go home. There was no visible damage on either vehicle. The defendant also told the officer he was currently on prescription medication. The defendant’s operator’s license was found to be currently under two different suspensions, one being a license forfeiture out of Franklin County from August 2015 through indefinite. The defendant also has two prior convictions for OVI plus two other physical control convictions. When performing sobriety tests, the defendant nearly fell several times and the test was terminated for his safety. The defendant was placed under arrest for OVI and was transported to the police department, where he refused to take

for the demolition.” Matix also said the school district had surveyed the community concerning the disposition of the buildings, but at that time, survey returns were low. “I think we’re doing what people want us to do. The OSFC went through every one of our buildings. They said they wouldn’t give us money for the (current) high school, it could be

renovated. But all the other buildings should come down,” Matix explained. In June, the school board discussed several options for turning the footprint of the junior high into a parking lot with some green space. The parking lot would be of beneﬁt to Memorial Hall, which also is owned by Greenville City Schools.

a breath test. He was placed under administrative license suspension and given citations for OVI, driving under suspension and possession of marijuana and was then released to the custody of his mother. Burglary

On July 27 an officer was dispatched to the 800 block of Wayne Street on the complaint of a burglary that was not in progress. Upon arrival, the officer spoke with Corrine Goddard, who said when she arrived home from work she noticed a television missing from her living room. Goddard told the officer that a basement window was not secured and she believed someone had entered her home through the basement, then left through the back door, which she found to be unlocked. The officer canvassed the neighborhood, but no one he spoke to saw anything suspicious. Later, Goddard called the police department to report her boyfriend, Scot Wolfe had spoken with a neighbor, who said he saw someone at the home earlier wearing a red T-shirt and jeans come from behind the house and place something in front of the basement window. The suspect then ran around the residence toward the back and shortly after leave in a silver Pontiac. Wolfe told the officer he believed the suspect to be Ted Thorn, who lived with Wolfe and Goddard for a few weeks at the residence. The officer found that Thorn had a probation violation warrant through the Darke County Sheriff’s Office. The officer made contact with Thorn, who was living with his mother in Arcanum. The officer also noticed a silver Pontiac

parked at the residence. When questioned about the burglary, Thorn denied being at the Greenville residence that day. When told he matched the description of a person a neighbor saw at the residence, he stated “It was me.” The officer asked Thorn what he did and Thorn answered “Stole the TV.” He also admitted to entering the residence through the basement window. He told the officer he took the television to Dayton, where it sold it for drugs. He would not say who he sold it to but did agree to complete a written statement. Thorn was transported to the Darke County Jail where he was incarcerated on the outstanding warrant. The report was forwarded to the Darke County Prosecutor’s office for burglary charges. Theft

On July 22, an officer was dispatched to Walmart on Wagner Avenue in reference to a theft, which had occurred by an employee. The store’s asset protection manager James Laycock and suspect Dustin Bailey met the officer in the store’s office. Laycock told the officer Bailey had been an employee since April and had stolen from Walmart four separate times from July 12 through July 17. Laycock said Bailey was caught in the store’s video surveillance. Bailey admitted to store managers that he had stolen items, which he sold to friends but did not remember names. He said he stole items to sell in order to pay rent for his room at Townhouse Motel. The officer watched the surveillance video and sees Bailey stealing video game items, Pokemon cards, X-box games, some of which cannot be

identiﬁed. Bailey is shown concealing the items inside a backpack and inside Walmart bags. He leaves the store without paying for the merchandise. Other videos show Bailey taking cash from cash registers as well as

USB cables. Total value of the stolen items is $1,133. Felony theft charges are being pursued. Additional Greenville Police Beat logs can be found on www. bluebagmedia.com

BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – A local woman has been placed on probation for a February raid involving several drug enforcement agencies. Deborah Sue Fornshil, 53, appeared for sentencing Monday afternoon in the Darke County Common Pleas Court. She was previously convicted for Complicity to Trafﬁcking Heroin, a felony of the fourth degree. Fornshil, along with codefendant Stephanie Brandeberry, were charged following a six-week, multiagency narcotics investigation by Greenville, Dayton, state and federal DEA agencies. According to the investigation the pair were allegedly trafﬁcking Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, which is much like heroin. “Fentanyl has deadly

consequences, especially when the user is thinking they are ingesting heroin,” said Darke County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Deborah S. Quigley. Fornshil told Judge Hein she ﬁrst tried the potent narcotic following a prescription to pain medication after a surgery. She claims Brandeberry (co-defendant) suggested the drug to help with the pain after Fornshil’s prescription ran out. “I’m not saying this isn’t a serious offense,” stated defense attorney David A. Rohrer. “She (Fornshil) is trying to get back on her feet. She knows she has to make better choices and not hang out with people like the that.” “My judgement was poor. I’m extremely sorry and feel tremendous guilt for bringing this to the community,” Fornshil told the court during Monday’s sen-

tencing. A pre-sentence investigation revealed that Fornshil has an extensive history of substance abuse, including a felony conviction in 2008. “I don’t think you are ignorant,” Judge Jonathan P. Hein told Fornshil. “To be successful you need the ﬁnd the answers to your triggers

and the resources to cope with them.” Judge Hein imposed a 60 month community control sanction, 75 hours of community service and a $250 lab fee. Fornshil received credit for 12 days in jail. She faces a year in prison if she fails to comply with the terms of sentencing.

Cause of Versailles barn fire under investigation DARKE COUNTY – Fire and rescue personnel from seven departments responded to a 3-alarm barn fire on the 10100 block of Versailles-Southeastern Road Wednesday afternoon. As crews arrived on the scene just before 3 p.m., they discovered an approximately 60′ x 50′ metal-sided barn fully involved. Firefighters worked defensively to contain the flames and keep the fire contained to the barn.

According to a report from our media partners at WHIO, the nearly 3,000 square foot barn is said to have contained items that included farm equipment, snowmobile and a boat. The barn was completely destroyed in the blaze. The cause of the ﬁre is under investigation at this time. An estimate of damage has not yet been determined. No injuries were reported.

MEMORIES OF THE PAST KAY BROWN’S postcard collection of local towns and subjects was one of the best around Darke County. She was keenly interested in history and in Darke County; this search was a life-long passion. She helped her husband, Pete Brown, run the Central Drug Store from

1946-1967. They helped the Garst Museum ever since then. Pete died in 1995 and was 25 years the President of the Museum. She retired from the museum board four years ago and passed away in 2014 at age 98. She never wanted to live anywhere other than in Greenville. She most enjoyed the GPAT Channel 5 TV broadcasts with former council-person Kathleen Floyd, where they

discussed these same postcards covering 100 years of Greenville/local history. DICK BROWN, son, is also a life-long resident of Greenville and now keeps their postcard collection. Dick graduated from GHS in 1964, Miami University in 1968, taught school for a year, owned McVay’s Sporting Goods for 16 years and was a real estate appraiser for

11 years. He has been vice president of the Darke County Historical Society for the past 20 years. Dick is still involved with the GHS yearbook and has been president of the GHS Alumni Association for the past eight years.

When travel wasn’t as readily available schools were more prevalent in individual communities. Shown is Hillgrove’s public school building in 1909.

The curbs and sidewalks look new in this picture, but in this point in history the town still had dirt roads. The three ladies and two children on the left stopped what they were doing to watch as the picture was taken. Greetings from Hillgrove, Ohio. This postcard of the tiny Darke County village is also dated from in 1909. The snow is melting making the dirt road muddy.

The Petersime name has long been associated with the village of Gettysburg. Here is an early example of the importance of that family with the Petersime & Toman Elevator.

ON YOUR MIND

Big Brother and Sister: Different ages, same goal BY JENNIFER BRUNS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BIG BROTHERS, BIG SISTERS

Did you know the average age of a Big Brother or Big Sister in the local area is 39? Think you are too old, or too young to get involved with the program? Think again. Big Brothers Big Sisters has several matches that prove it doesn’t matter what your age, you can impact a child in a positive, lasting way. (Note: Volunteers must be at least 18 years old for the community-based program.) Big Brother Jared knows a thing or two about being busy, but he also excels with time management. Not only is he a Big Brother, but he is also a full-time college student and works part-time. Jared is 22 years old and has been matched with his Little Brother, Blaine for the past year. They have enjoyed bowling, hanging out at Jared’s house, playing pool, as well as catching some of the latest movies. His Little Brother has beneﬁted greatly and has even improved in his bowling score as well as social skills. Big Sister Carolyn is no stranger to being around children. She and her husband Keith have three of their own, not to mention several grandchildren that keep them very busy. This actively-retired Darke County resident will be matched with her Little Brother Nate for seven years this month. Nate will be turning 17 and Carolyn has watched him become the person he is today over the years they have been matched. Over the course of their time as Big and Little, this match has attended many BBBS events, including Bowl for Kids’ Sake, the annual Christ-

mas party, and seasonal picnics. They have also gone to baseball games, worked on gardening, and had cookouts together. Executive Director Jennifer Bruns has watched this match over the years and said, “Carolyn being matched for seven years is a testament to her dedication to Nate and helping others. She aided Nate in gaining confidence when talking with others, exposed him to different activities and given him an opportunity to find new interests. She always attends BBBS events, and she’s usually the first one to show up with extra snacks and soda under her arm.

Through grants, fundraisers, and the local United Way agencies, Big Brothers Big Sisters served over 500 children in 2015 through their programs.

No sense arguing with Drill Instructor Berry

As of July 19, spring cleaning is ﬁnally done. I know it’s summer, but I think it would be insensitive of me to stereotype a particular season as a time to do the burdensome task of cleaning the house from top-to-bottom. Why should winter, summer or fall be discriminated against? I refuse to adhere to man-made rules that say we should clean in the spring. I am a rebel. We clean for obvious reasons – two teenage daughters. My girls wouldn’t know what to do with a hamper if I had one, think a laundry basket is to be used upside down as a chair, stage or TV tray and believe ironing out wrinkles is not letting fabric be who it really wants to be. Having teens is only one reason why we do our cleaning at times

when others are relaxing by the pool. The “real” reason why we do a thorough cleaning in July and not in March – my mom and dad are coming for a visit. While I will do thorough cleanings from timeto-time, usually by myself because I clean better than anyone else in the house, when my parents are coming my wife takes charge. She instantly becomes a mix of the drill sergeant on Full Metal Jacket, Martha Stewart and Mr. Clean. I keep expecting her to say, “I am Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, your senior drill instructor. From now on you will speak only when spoken to, and the ﬁrst and last words out of your ﬁlthy sewers will be Sir. Do you maggots understand that?” I’ve been married to Gunnery Sergeant Martha Stewart-Berry for nearly 20 years and this maggot has learned that sometimes it is better to keep his mouth shut and do what he’s told. The older of the two

younger maggots is starting to understand doing what you’re told and not arguing makes life easier for everyone. The youngest maggot still thinks she’s the Gunnery Sergeant and not the lowly basic trainee. More than once my wife and the youngest maggot have used our living room as a battleﬁeld. These skirmishes will sometimes last a few days, but victory is inevitable. My wife is undefeated in battle. Our oldest maggot doesn’t argue with as much anymore. I don’t know if it’s because she maturing or if she’s ﬁnally realized she is a horrible back talker and trash talker. This summer she was playing soccer and the matchup got a little physical and heated. The girl from the other team shot a comment towards her and her response, “Right back at ya.” Wow! That had to hurt – not. Better yet is when she uses the same trash talk they use. Them - “Get out of the way,

you cow!” Her response – “You’re a cow!” I’m almost embarrassed by her horrible trash talk. There is a glimmer of hope. She had one decent comeback. She made the girl on the other team mad and the girl “went off” on her. My daughter looked at her and said, “You’ll never get a prom date with that ugly attitude.” The house, at least the downstairs portion, was in satisfactory shape by the end of the day. Unfortunately, it was back to being in unsatisfactory shape the next day. Even with our busy lives, we have been making a concerted effort to try and keep up with housekeeping so my mom and dad will feel comfortable during their stay with us. Gunnery Sergeant Martha Stewart-Berry will most likely return in November or early December for more spring cleaning when my parents come home for the holidays.

state and I would kindly request all of the citizens of Darke County to also attend the meeting with me because I have more facts and questions. It is your money too. Otherwise, you will be paying for a runway instead of roads and bridges for at least the next three years. Sincerely, Jimmy Besecker, Greenville EDITOR’S NOTE: As previously reported, the funds from the license tax will not go directly to the runway extension. The funds will be used to upgrade Chase Road from State Route 121 to State Route 242, allowing the county to cut through Old State Route 242 with the runway extension. That portion of the road was

transferred to the county from the Ohio Department of Transportation several years ago. The Commission has stated in previous articles concerning the airport the primary reason for the runway extension is economic development. Attracting new business and providing support to current businesses is important to creating and retaining jobs. The corporations using or wanting to use the airport have bigger airplanes and telling them to land someplace else is the equivalent of telling them we don’t want your jobs – take them to another community. Some of the local businesses currently using the airport include Midmark, Continental Carbonic, Rural King and Eldora.

READERS WRITE Don’t Want to Pay for Runway

Dear Editor, After reading in the newspaper that the Commissioners were proposing a $10 fee to be added to our license plate fees each year, I was curious to find out more information. Again, after reading last week’s paper regarding the first meeting that was held regarding this matter, it was addressed that the money would first be used to extend the runway 300-

feet at the Darke County Airport. So as a pilot, I researched the FAA regulation that Mr. Rhoades mentioned in the article about the safety issue that the FAA said we had at our airport. I found that there is no safety issue at our airport, unless your aircraft is too large for it. It then became obvious to me that the Commissioners were not being forthright with the people of the County. In fact, the FAA regular

Issues go before voters on Aug. 2 DARKE CO. – The following issues will be decided by voters in the Mississinawa Valley and Ft. Recovery school districts in the Special Election on Aug. 2. Issue #1 – Mississinawa Valley Local School District – Annual Income Tax – Renewal (Expiring at the end of 2016) – 0.75% - Current Expenses – On The School District Income of Individuals and of

for runway length is contingent on the airframe’s manufacturer’s suggested runway length in conjunction with the pilot’s knowledge of the aircraft. So in layman’s terms, if it is too big, don’t land there. Our airport is perfectly safe the way it is. Therefore, being the dedicated citizen of this community, I felt a duty to speak up for the people of Darke County. I attended the Commissioner’s meeting tonight, July 27. I sat there and listened to how anemic our roads and bridge’s budget is. The Commissioner’s made it very clear that the $10 was very important to them because of “ambulatory services.” If the ambulance cannot get down the road, then you cannot expect to have as good as service if the roads or bridges were not open. It was also very clear that the airport runway project would be completed ﬁrst with this $10 tax fee, and would not be

paid for until at least year 2020. My question to the Commissioners was “If our roads and bridge’s budget are so anemic shouldn’t all our roads and bridges be taken care of before this runway project since the airport is perfectly safe the way it is?” After this question, Mr. Rhoades told me I was “narrow-minded” and told me to leave. I did leave. I then came home to write this letter to the Editor to let everyone know how Mr. Rhoades, our “elected” ofﬁcial, treated me for stating facts at this meeting. Just to restate this you: I brought facts to the table and Mr. Rhoades asked me to leave the meeting. I will be at the next meeting to state more facts that I did not get to 425 Memorial Dr. Greenville, OH 45331

Hummingbird leg bands are so tiny they ﬁt on a toothpick or a safety pin.

Hummingbird banding at DCP GREENVILLE – A favorite program returns to the park. Anyone who feeds or watches hummingbirds will love this program. It’s a little known fact that Ruby-throated Hummingbirds replace all their feathers every year. Because of this how would humans determine that the oldest known Rubythroated Hummingbird has survived for over eight years? Join Amy Wilms to learn more about the hummingbirds that come to visit natural habitats and our own backyard feeders. Participants will learn amazing facts about their migration, biology, and why they always look like they are ﬁghting. She’ll share why banding is im-

portant, what banding has taught scientists about the birds, and the training involved in becoming a hummingbird bander. In addition, she’ll discuss how to age and sex the hummers that come to our feeders and how banders process and band these beautiful birds. Join them to explore these wonderful birds and what people can do to welcome hummingbirds to their backyards. Preregistration is required for this free morning of hummingbird exploration. For more information about this program or any other Park District program or to register, give the Nature Center a call at 548-0165, or email info@ darkecountyparks.org.

Orme Do it Best named Ohio’s best ARCANUM – To be honored by your peers is always as honor. For Orme Do it Best Hardware, to be honored this year was especially gratifying. This past spring, the business and its seven stores were honored by Hardware & Building Supply magazine has the best in Ohio. The magazine presents the award to the top hardware store in each of the 50 states. The announcement of the award came at a time when the Orme hardware family was mourning the loss of their president. On March 11, Dick McCoy passed away. He joined his father in creating the seven Orme locations through-

out Southeastern Ohio. Orme Do it Best Hardware was formed in 1869 and became a member of the Do it Best family in 1963. McCoy’s widow, Karen, took over the family business upon her husband’s passing. She learned her company was one of the winners at the state hardware show in May. While she was walking the hall where all of the awardwinning banners were hanging for each of the winning hardware stores, she noticed one of the banners had her store’s name on it. McCoy said this has been a rough year and the award means a great deal to her and her company.

Kageys purchase Wave goal line GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

Coach Kyle and Ginny Kagey recently purchased the goal line at Harmon Field for $5,400 showing their support of Friends of Harmon Field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really neat to have Coach and Mrs. Kagey support this project,â&#x20AC;? said Greenville football coach Aaron Shaffer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of great alumni, we have a lot of great community support but you are not going to ďŹ nd a better pair of Green Wave than Coach and Mrs. Kagey.â&#x20AC;? Together, the Kageys have well over 70 combined years of teaching and coaching in the Greenville School system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are part of the process here,â&#x20AC;? said Kyle Kagey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We both worked for Greenville City Schools forever. Thirty plus years for Ginny and over 40 plus

for meâ&#x20AC;Ś plus we are graduates. Ginnyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brothers played sports and I played sports. All our games were here.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Times change,â&#x20AC;? said coach Kagey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things need updated and this is in desperate need of updating. I am hoping more and more people choose to get involved and support it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ďŹ gure Greenville got help with what is currently hereâ&#x20AC;Śthe stadium,â&#x20AC;? said Ginny Kagey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Greenville needs Greenville people to join in. We were fortunate enough to be in the WPA Project, President Roosevelt, they made the stadium that was given to Greenville.â&#x20AC;? The purchase price of each square yard of turf is $100.00. By purchasing a yard of turf the purchaser will be the honorary deed holder of a square yard of turf while supporting the Greenville stadium project. With the goal line mea-

suring 54 yards in length, the Kageyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turf purchase amounted to $5,400 with the funds going to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Friends of Harmon Fieldâ&#x20AC;? project. Fifty-four yards, $5,400,â&#x20AC;? said Friends of Harmon Field Steering Committee member Jon McGreevey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great donation.â&#x20AC;? Harmon Field was constructed prior to World War II as a W.P.A. project sponsored by the City Park Commission and the Greenville City Board of Education. When constructed, the stadium was state of the art, but over time and almost 80 years later, the aging stadium has seen its best days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having a three thousand seat place and two years later they had the lights up in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;39â&#x20AC;Śnight games back in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;30s and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;40s coming out of the depressionâ&#x20AC;Śthere werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t many stadiums that would

have had lights,â&#x20AC;? said Coach Kagey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harmon Field obviously has a special place in my heart having played here and now coaching here,â&#x20AC;? said Coach Shaffer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This facility in its time was top notch, but over the years through weathering and to some degree lack of construction technology, the stadium is starting to

deteriorate.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to fall in on itself tomorrow but we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait,â&#x20AC;? continued Shaffer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for us to stand up and do something to give the future generations of Green Wave the opportunities that this same stadium gave many athletes before.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the new facility

we are giving our kids the best opportunities possible in terms of playing surface and training facilities whether it be a weight room or training room, even their locker room and shower facilities,â&#x20AC;? Shaffer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those things are all very important as we try to develop our young people into productive adults.â&#x20AC;?

Arcanum teams sweep Treaty City Shootout BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Arcanum took ďŹ rst place in both the 8U and 10U girls Treaty City Shootout at Stebbins Field, Home of the Lady Wave High School softball team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a phenomenal weekend,â&#x20AC;? said Greenville Girls Softball Association (GGSA) president Eric Fellers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was hot but we stayed on schedule. It was just a great weekend for the community of Greenville and Greenville girls softball.â&#x20AC;? A total of 28-teams made their way to the Treaty City to compete in the annual girls softball tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Next week we have 21 teams coming in for the 12U and 14U girls tournament,â&#x20AC;? said GGSA Tournament Coordinator Jason Christman. Arcanum took home the ďŹ rst place trophy in the 8U division with Greenville taking the runner-up slot.

num teams taking home both ďŹ rst place trophies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Excellent group of girls,â&#x20AC;? said Arcanum 10U coach Richard Byrne. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They fought all the way through especially through the heat. With the game scoreless through the early going, Arcanumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brooke Anderson drilled a bases loaded home run giving the Darke County girls a 4-0 lead, a lead that would hold up for the remainder of the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That hitâ&#x20AC;Śa grand slam down the third base line by Brooke Anderson...and it was a legitimate grand slamâ&#x20AC;Śno errors,â&#x20AC;? Byrne said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a good hit all the way around.â&#x20AC;?

Emilie Fout opened the game on the mound for Arcanum and with restrictions on innings pitched per game was relieved by Hannah Kendig. Fout came in to pitch the ďŹ nal inning to secure the win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great job of pitching by both our pitchers,â&#x20AC;? said Byrne. I have to hand it out to the coaches,â&#x20AC;? said Byrne. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have four or ďŹ ve people in there helping out all the time. We all talk to each other to ďŹ gure out what we need to do. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole team effort.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a good turnout,â&#x20AC;? stated Byrne. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;?Greenville put on an excellent show here this weekend.â&#x20AC;?

Wave volleyball camp numbers up BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; More than 50 girls attended the Lady Wave volleyball camp under the direction of ďŹ rst year head coach Chelsea Dowd and ďŹ rst year assistant coach Janelle Gerlach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a great turnout,â&#x20AC;? said Dowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had way more kids come out this year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting for us. We like to see them play.â&#x20AC;? The four-day camp had girls, grades 3-6 and girls going into the seventh and eighth grades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting especially for Janelle and myself because we coached the JV team last year,â&#x20AC;? said Dowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We saw them get so much better from day one to the very last day that we played. It was unbelievable and a lot of those girls we have coming back again this year, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll beâ&#x20AC;ŚI think much more competitive than we have been the past couple of years since Janelle and I have been here, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited.â&#x20AC;? Dowd, a graduate of Tippecanoe is excited about coaching in Greater

Western Ohio Conference (GWOC) as her alma mater joins the GWOC for its ďŹ rst season with the conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am looking forward to the GWOC this year,â&#x20AC;? said Dowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The GWOC is changing. I went to Tipp City. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where I graduated. Tippâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the GWOC now, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be fun.â&#x20AC;? Coach Dowd was pleased with the leadership role the Lady Wave high school players displayed assisting three-hours of camp each day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We asked all of our girls to come in throughout the week,â&#x20AC;? Dowd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice for the young girls. They like to see the older girls. They look up to them and I always think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better for the high school girls to give them advice than it is for me to give them advice. I think they think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a little bit scary and they like the high school girls. They were in every day and they did a great job.â&#x20AC;? Coach Dowd used the camp to stress fundamentals of the game. For many of the young girls it was their ďŹ rst experience with volleyball.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;For this grade level we really like to focus on the basics,â&#x20AC;? Dowd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basic passing, basic setting and basic footwork when it comes to hitting and some serving in there as well.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The older girls, seventh and eighth grade especially have touched the ball before,â&#x20AC;? added Dowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They kinda have a knack for it, but Janelle and I want to break bad habits, so for those girls who are still in middle school or junior high and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for them come to see what we expect because they are coming into high school.â&#x20AC;? The camp proved to be what Coach Dowd and Coach Gerlach had planned for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unbelievable amounts of progress,â&#x20AC;? said Dowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had anyone from third grade and up. It was unbelievable to see them the ďŹ rst day. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never touched a volleyball before to this last day when they are playing with seventh and eighth graders and keeping the ball alive and being excited to play. It was crazy how much progress they madeâ&#x20AC;Śa lot.â&#x20AC;? COUPON

Dylan’s Dawgs honor fallen teammate with tournament victory BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY, Ind. – If the excitement of the Dylan’s Dawgs, the Union City 10U all-star team, playing for a tournament championship on Sunday wasn’t enough…winning ﬁrst place in the 3rd annual Dylan Williams Memorial Baseball Invitational was long overdue. In the championship game, the team would rematch Russia who beat them during pool play. This time that would not be the case as Dylan’s Dawgs came out with one thing in mind… win it for Dylan! Six of the team players were part of Dylan’s original all-star team, in addition to Coach Mike Fulk, who shared a hug and tear with the Williams’ during the trophy presentation ceremony. “Words can’t express the feeling of the Dylan Dawg’s team winning the 10U championship on Dylan’s Diamond,” the Williams family told The Early Bird. “They’ve been working hard each year to try and achieve it. This year they blew it out of the park!” This year’s all-star tournament hosted 32 teams, including two from all the way in Indianapolis, in the 8U, 10U and 12U age brackets from both sides of the state line. The tournament is held as a fundraiser and memorial for 8-year-old Dylan, or “Dilly” as family and friends called him, who tragically lost his life in an accident in July 2013 during all-star

baseball practice. Since then, the Williams family and memorial foundation donates automated external deﬁbrillators (AED) to area youth sports and schools in order to help save a life in case of an emergency. “Another great success! We appreciate all of the teams who came out to support us,” the Williams family added. “We strive to make this the best tournament experience for the kids to play. Special thanks to the Curry family for making the diamonds tip-top shape for each game!” Versailles teams swept the 8U and 12U bracket for a tournament championship. Each of the three winning teams will be presented with an AED from the Dylan Williams Forever An AllStar Foundation at a training ceremony in the weeks to come. It was discovered that each of the three teams already have received an

AED at their ﬁeld and will be able to now designate a place they would like to see the life-saving device be donated to on their behalf. This year’s tournament was topped off from a visit by the Rhoad family from Carmel, Ind. who’s son was saved this year by an AED after being struck by baseball in Westﬁeld, Ind. “We couldn’t do this without all of the help and support from our friends, family and many sponsors,” the Williams’ concluded. “Thank you to the Union City Baseball/ Softball Boosters for allowing us to take over the diamonds for the weekend to hold our event.” Visit www.bluebagmedia.com for more details on this story.

Wave football team excels at ﬁnal scrimmage BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

CELINA – Greenville travel to Celina to complete its third summer seven-onseven passing scrimmage throwing against Celina, Parkway and Crestview. “Today was good,” said Greenville Coach Aaron Shaffer. “The kids played well.” The four teams spent two-hours on the Bulldogs’ ﬁeld on warm and humid Friday morning. “Our kids did a real nice job jumping on the bus on a nice warm morning,” Shaffer said. “We worked for about two hours straight and got a lot of good work in, varsity and JV… so it was a good day today.” The Wave opened the day with sets of 10 before going into some downand-distance situations.” “Some of the things we were learning today,” Shaffer stated, “we have to take every opportunity as a chance to show our competitive spirit and get out there and do the things that we need to do to win football games.” With the ﬁnal seven-onseven complete, the 2016 football season is fast ap-

Bradford youth camp experiment productive BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

BRADFORD – With dwindling numbers in several sports, three Bradford varsity coaches combined three sports for a week of Lady Railroaders youth camp. “We saw a decrease in numbers in my ﬁve years here at Bradford and not just basketball,” said varsity girls basketball coach Patrick McKee. “We saw it in a few other sports so we thought if we can possibly get a three-sport camp together we can really gain the interest of multiple sports in these kids at the grades of two through six. We also thought we could talk to them the importance of not just focusing on one sport and actually playing some different sports to make you a better athlete.” McKee, volleyball coach Maddie Armstrong and softball coach Shon Schaffer have seen positive results. “It gives them a nice base especially since volleyball doesn’t normally start until the fourth grade,” added Armstrong. “This gives even younger kids like second and third grade graders a chance to get out and try it a little bit earlier so they have that it in mind when it comes up.” All three Lady Railroaders varsity coaches agree student athletes competing in two or more sports helps build a strong athletic programs in small schools. “Everybody is going

to have different opinion about…is it better for a kid to play a single sport or to play two or three sports,” said McKee. “These three coaches here at Bradford as for myself, Coach Schaffer, Coach Armstrong we can all share the same idea that these kids just need to be athletic. They need to be, whether it’s in the gym or on the ﬁeld, they need to be doing something. We are really trying to promote the idea of playing all three sports.” The three-sport camp caught the interest of many young Lady Railroaders especially on the volleyball court. “I’ve been very happy with how many girls are here and how ready to learn they are,” said Armstrong. “It brings in a lot of girls that wouldn’t normally come to a camp like this if they hadn’t been interested in volleyball before or softball before. It gives them a chance to try it out now.”

“At Bradford you don’t even get a chance to get exposed to volleyball until seventh grade unless you go somewhere else,” stated McKee. “Grades two through six…these kids are already interested in basketball or softball or whatever it might be and they have no idea if they are interested in or like volleyball, so we are trying to open up that door for them.” The summer camp gave Coach Schaffer an opportunity to work with the future Lady Railroaders softball players. “Got to teach them the fundamentals of the game of softball,” said Schaffer. “Getting your feet right, getting the throwing position right and just doing the little things.” “We are hoping this is going to pay off in the future,” concluded McKee. “Get our numbers back up where they need to be overall. It’s going to make us more competitive.”

GREENVILLE – The Light Foundation presented scholarships to four Darke County students Monday. On hand to make the presentation was GHS alum and three time New England Patriots Super Bowl Champion and Light Foundation founder, Matt Light. “We had a lot of applications,” said Light. “The applications were incredible again this year. You look

at what these students are doing, these young ladies obviously excel in everything they have put their heart and soul into and you know they are going to do great because you look at what they have done.” Three 2016 Versailles graduates, Brianne Buzard, Alyssa Morgan, Megan VanSkyock and Arcanum graduate Elizabeth Riley were the recipients of the 2016 scholarships. “For us to be able to help out a little, we’re happy to do so,” Light said. “We are happy to be there in that capacity.”

Bemus leaving Greenville SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville Board of Education on Thursday accepted the resignation of assistant superintendent and curriculum director Laura Bemus. Bemus, who has been with Greenville City Schools for four years, will be taking a job as curriculum supervisor for the Miami County Educational Service Center in Troy. “It’s with regret I’m losing Mrs. Bemus,” Superintendent Doug Fries said, noting that Bemus had a “great opportunity” with her new job. Fries also expressed his appreciation for all Bemus had done for the Greenville district. The board accepted a number of other resignations, including Kelly Hahn, intervention specialist at the junior high; Steve Lantz, assistant junior high track coach; Scott Lind, assistant boys varsity basketball coach; Christine Mason, language arts teacher at the junior high, Jordan Renfro, Woodland intervention specialist; and David Sykes, GHS teacher. New staff members approved by the board on Thursday included Erin Eberwein, high school secretary; Kyle Joseph, athletic support services and varsity basketball coach; Jon Tipton, intervention specialist, South Middle School; Shelby

Rehmert, intervention specialist, Woodland Primary; Jessica Sommer, family & consumer science teacher, GHS; Kathleen Kuhbander, English teacher, GHS; and Derek Summer, intervention specialist, junior high school. Also during the July 21 board meeting, school treasurer Carla Surber and her department were presented a certificate of achievement for excellence in financial reporting. The board also heard a report on the progress at the new K-8th grade building. “The project is still tracking on schedule,” said John Miller, a representative of Shook Touchstone, construction manager. “It’s going to come down to the wire, but we’re going to make it.” Miller said the target date for the new school to see students remains Jan. 3. Contractors, he reported, have been asked to “beef up their manpower.” Miller told the board the facility’s parking lots would begin to be completed by the end of August and playground equipment was set to start being installed right after Labor Day. “When you drive by that building you can’t imagine what’s going on inside,” Miller said, adding the interior finishes are “moving along” and classroom items will “start flowing in.”

Congratulations

DARKE COUNTY – Darke County Commissioners have declared August as Child Support Awareness Month for Darke County. According to Darke County Job and Family Services child support staff attorney Rhonda McKinnis, there were 2,870 open cases involving children in the county as of the end of June. “Darke County is considered a medium to small category for cases involving child support, paternity and modiﬁcations” such as living arrangements to a child’s life, McKinnis

explained. Darke County hovers around the 2,800 mark for open cases, she said. Ohio has long recognized child support awareness during August, McKinnis said. “We’re trying to bring forward what the state already does to make the public aware of what goes on with child services.” According to the proclamation signed Monday, July 25 by Darke County Commissioners Mike Stegall, Diane Delaplane and Mike Rhoades, Ohio “is dedicated to the care and well-being of its children, and understands that emotional and ﬁnancial support are key factors in securing their future suc-

Bach to Rock reaches milestone anniversary SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – A downtown Greenville business is celebrating an important milestone this summer. For the past 30 years, Bach to Rock Music on South Broadway has offered musical instruments, accessories, lessons, sound equipment installation and rentals, as well as instrument repair to local customers. In 1986, owners Bruce and Jane (Hemmerich) Kaiser purchased the music store, known then as the Harmony House, located then at 503 S. Broadway. Kaiser said shortly after he had been laid off from his job at TRW in Richmond, Ind., he woke up one morning and told his wife: “We are going to buy the Harmony House music store.” The newlyweds were living just south of Greenville at that time. Kaiser said his new wife “didn’t seem to be amused” at his proclamation. Approximately 30 days later, Harmony House was theirs. Later that year, they changed the store’s name to Bach to Rock Music. Kaiser had been active in several bands at the time, so was familiar with the area music scene, playing in recent years with the bands Spellbound and Borderline. He also spent some time in the 1970s playing at the Triangle. Today, Kaiser, who said he is “mostly self-taught” of-

ten sits in for area bands in need of a guitarist. The Kaisers made several renovations at the store’s original location. Kaiser said he put in 14hour days and took no compensation. “It was tough,” he said. “The only way we could make it was to not withdraw any money from the store for as long as possible. I didn’t pay myself anything so I could keep my help working as long as I could. It didn’t make my wife happy not paying myself, but with her working at Sears at the time, we made it.” Today, Jane Kaiser works in the front ofﬁce for Brother’s Publishing/ The Early Bird. In 1999, the owner of the building wanted the Kaisers to purchase rather than rent. After researching what it would take to update that building, the Kaisers moved their business down the block to 334 S. Broadway. The top ﬂoor is where the former Moose Lodge held meetings and dances years ago. The Kaisers renovated that space to what it looked like in the 1960s and offer the space to area music teachers for lessons and recitals – free of charge. Today, Kaiser said, the store offers lessons for guitar, bass and piano/keyboard for ages 5 through adult. Bach to Rock also offers band instrument rental for area school students. A newer service, Kaiser said offered by Bach to Rock is installation of sound systems for schools, churches or other businesses.

Bach to Rock also offers a consignment service for those wishing to sell used instruments. “We’re doing a lot of that right now,” Kaiser said. “And we’re getting better prices for our customers than they can get on eBay.” Bach to Rock has a website, b2rock.com that includes information on instrument rental and repair. The music store offers a wide variety of instruments, including guitars, drums, ukuleles, and keyboards, as well as a large selection of sheet music, microphones, ampliﬁers, sound equipment/PA equipment and a repair shop for instruments and electronic equipment. Currently the Kaisers

employ two - Todd Kaiser (Bruce’s brother) who does electronic and band instrument repair, and new part-time employee Ted Pratt. Todd Kaiser and his wife Susie have been with Bach to Rock for 25 years. Others who have been involved through the years as employees or private lesson teachers include Stan Linder, Gene Ratliff, Dan Nealeigh, and Michael Lavallo, a 17-year employee who recently moved to Kentucky to pursue another career. Store hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Thursday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The store is closed Sunday.

Thanks to many individual donors, the Chalmers family bake sales, plus support from businesses and organizations like Oliver Floyd Funeral Home, Rolling 50s Car Club, Rapid Printing, Ramco Electric Motors and Modern Mothers of Versailles, seven tutors have been able to help 43 students improve their education skills this summer. Most of these children are (or were) considered at-risk. One young mother was especially grateful, noting her son was going to be held back until he received tutoring help. “Today, he reads not only above average in the district but also above average in the state,” she said, grinning.

Shown is the new sign at Beech Grove Cemetery.

Beech Grove erects new sign ARCANUM – You may have gone past this cemetery on State Route 503 near the intersection of ArcanumHollansburg Road and State Route 503 and never noticed this small and forgotten cemetery. In Anita Short’s book “Cemetery Inscriptions Darke County Volume I” we read the cemetery was located in section 2 of Butler Township. Many of the stones are no longer standing and these inscriptions were taken in the summer of 1964. The oldest burial is Susannah Karn, wife of Henry. She died November 29, 1849 at 46 years of age. Thus, the date of the cemetery was established from this burial as 1849. There are around 15 diﬀerent last names listed from the stones and burials: Henninger, Camblin, Gauby, Bobenmeyer, Karn, Shafer, Vogt, Long, Borger, Werkle, Bruss, Gebhart, Hileman, Bruss and Hursh. Beech Grove was a little settlement on the Wayne Trace or State Route 503. Beech Grove School sat on the same NW corner near the cemetery but is gone today. The church sat on the NE opposite corner and is a residence today. At one time a store and post oﬃce operated here. Per the AWTHS Spring 2015 newsletter we read “Beech Grove “was named due to the large number of beech trees growing in the area. John and Harry Karn owned properties from Arcanum Hollansburg Rd north to Neave Township. There were a large number of family members living in this section.

The Atlas of Darke County 1875-1888 shows the cemetery, church, first school (each established in the mid-1850s) and store as well as several residences located on their properties.” You may remember the large house on the northwest corner which has been torn down. The first church was called the Beech Grove Reformed Church and was built in 1854. The first pastor was John Vogt. First members were Karns, Hurschs, Shaffers, Jacoby, Bruss, Steinmetz, Whiteneck and Shuler. Many of these names are seen on the cemetery stones. “Beech Grove Service Station, owned and operated by R. L. Homes is now open for business--they built a modern filling station and carry the usual line of gasoline, motor oils, groceries, candy, cigars and tobacco.” (Arcanum Times Aug. 18, 1932) Located on a small section of the southeast corner near a current residence. The legend of the corner house, 5007 Arcanum Hollansburg Road, has been passed onto each owner. The house dates back

to the early days of Beech Grove when State Route 503 was a busy pike called “Ithaca Pike” and used by the military, settlers moving north and families going to Greenville, the county seat. It’s reported to have been a stage coach stop and served as a place for a wake for a couple soldiers killed in the area. Beech Grove cemetery and settlement is listed on the Arcanum Wayne Trail Historical Society’s historic driving tour of Ithaca that was completed last year. The AWTHS recommended the sign to the Butler Township trustees who put the plan in action. A thank you is extended to them and Mark Loxley for acquiring the sign and marking the cemetery. If you have ancestors buried here please consider the stone upkeep as many of them need attention. Check with the Butler Township Trustees for approval and seek local qualiﬁed and professional people to help. If you are a hands on person you might consider a workshop on proper restoration of stones such as Gravestone Guardians of Ohio.

DCCT to present full length comedy GREENVILLE – The Darke County Civic Theater is a non-profit community theater that is known in the area for producing melodramas and murder mysteries. The organization has been producing these types of shows for many years and just recently started to branch out and attempt other types of productions. The recent success of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” which was performed in March of this year sparked interest in the organization to continue to challenge themselves and branch out with their productions. This led them to the laugh out loud hilarious three act comedy Love, Sex and the I.R.S. Jon Trachtman (Chris Chapa) and Leslie Arthur (Trevor DeSchepper) are out of work musicians who room together in New York City. To save money, Jon has been filing tax returns listing the pair as married. The day of reckoning comes when the Internal Revenue Service informs the “couple” they’re going to be investigated by a Mr. Spinner (Tim Hodges). Leslie masquerades as a housewife, aided by Jon’s fiancé, Kate

(Maria Jones). Complicating matters even further, Leslie and Kate are having an affair behind Jon’s back, Jon’s mother (Connie DeSchepper) drops in unexpectedly to meet her son’s ﬁancé, the nosey landlord (Sandy Hartley) keeps checking in on them, Jon’s mother hires a preacher (Kelly Snyder) to perform a wedding ceremony, and Leslie’s ex-girlfriend (Nicole Scott) shows up demanding to know why Leslie has changed and won’t see her anymore. This laugh out loud farce comedy is sure to leave audiences laughing until there are tears in their eyes. This production will be directed by Amy Gessler with assistant director, Kelly Snyder. Abby Kindley and Bethany Foster will be the stage managers. The show will be produced by Nicole Scott. Costumes will be designed by Sandy Hartley, props will be run by Laura Francis and Matt Cline will be the Lights and Sound technician. This production is set to be performed on Aug. 13 and 14. The Aug. 13 performance will begin at 7:30 p.m. and will provide a cash bar that will include

alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks for purchase. The Aug. 14 matinee will begin at 1:30 p.m. and will be performance only. The cost for tickets is $8 and can be purchased pre-sale online at http://darkecountycivictheater.seatyourself.biz – Ticket sales will continue at the door for anyone that

hasn’t purchased a pre-sale ticket, but online sales are encouraged to guarantee a seat in the audience. The production will take place at the Greenville Elks Lodge. For more information, visit www.darkecountycivictheater.org or contact them at darkecountycivictheater@gmail.com.

DCP continues Park reports second quarter results search for butterflies GREENVILLE – Darke County Parks needs help. Butterfly habitat is declining and scientists need to monitor their populations very closely. Every Friday at 2 p.m. from now through September, join a naturalist to hike a preset path and record all the butterflies observed. These numbers will then be sent on to the Ohio Lepidopterists for scientific study. There’s no need to be an expert. A staff member will be present for the hike, and field guides will be provided. Hikes will occur as long as temperatures are above

Summer Tip of the Week...

Think about how many times you’ve had to clean your windshield. Your A/C condenser is stuck in the front of your vehicle exposed to the elements as well. Most people don’t hesitate to have their home furnace and A/C system cleaned yearly, but never give a thought to keeping their A/C condenser clean. Routine cleaning will aid in the life of the system.
