STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Board of Education met in special session Aug. 1 and approved the re-employment of Laura Bemus as the district’s assistant superintendent. Bemus submitted her resignation earlier this summer, which the board approved during their July regular meeting. “We asked her to reconsider and she made a decision to return after reconsidering,” Superintendent Doug Fries said. “We’re happy to have that.” The board also hired two new English teachers – Jinna Walters at the junior high and Tracy Andrews at the senior high school.

Other approved hires included Diana Murphy and Lora Deaton as substitute bus drivers; Kathy Unger as a part time bus driver, Kelly Clark as the 9th grade cheerleading adviser, Derek Summer as varsity assistant boys basketball coach, and Kathy Kuhbander as the high school yearbook adviser. The board accepted three resignations, including Chelsea Meloni as enrollment secretary, Thad Tryon as a delivery service staff member and Beth Cain as the district’s transportation supervisor. Cain will work with the district through Aug. 12, Fries said. The ﬁrst day of school for Greenville students will be Aug. 29.

DARKE COUNTY – Once again, Darke County had a huge inﬂux of visitors to the community thanks to the World’s Longest Garage Sale (a.k.a. US Route 127 Garage Sale), Aug. 4-6. Greenville and communities along the US route across Darke County as well as communities from Michigan to Alabama welcomed thousands and perhaps millions of people looking for a special treasure or a great deal.

Annually, local residents take vacation days, plan their routes and spend the day stopping at one garage before heading to the next during the three-day sale. Fortunately, Darke County has made it easy for shoppers. From church and parking lots and festival grounds to individual homes, hundreds of options were available to shoppers. Not only is it fun for vendors and shoppers, the event brings a lot of attention to the area and helps showcase some of Darke County’s attractions.

Matt Staugler, executive director of the Darke County Visitors Bureau, said, “The 127 yard sales are the perfect opportunity to show off Darke County to visitors from all over the country. It’s a prime reason we did the ﬁrst two barns of our ongoing barn art project along 127 - we want to convey the pride we have in our community, and as people see those, we hope they want to explore the origins of that pride.” The ﬁrst of the two barns is located near the intersection of State Route 47 and US Route 127 and features

the likeness of Annie Oakley. The barn painting was unveiled in mid-June. The newest barn was completed last week and is located at the home of Larry and Bonnie Barga, 12106 US 127, Versailles (just north of State Route 185). The barn is painted red, white and blue with an inscription that reads, “Welcome to Darke County.” Staugler added, “We’re expecting to see plenty of activity in the Welcome Center, and with that, increased visits to some of our biggest attractions.”

Office and County Commissioners stopped by to eat and meet with members of PCS. A group photo was presented to say thank you from the PCS departments. “With all that is going on in the news, we wanted the first responders to know our community supports them,” said Mark Middlecoff of PCS. “The picture was given to them to remind the first responders of some of the people they are protecting and to say thank you.” Person Centered Services is located at 5844 Jaysville-St Johns Rd. near Greenville.

The World’s Longest Garage Sale came through Darke County this week with hundreds of shopping choices for visitors.

This election is a countywide election. Registration forms are available at the Board ofﬁce, 300 Garst Ave., Greenville, the Darke County Courthouse Treasurer’s Ofﬁce, any public library and the License Bureau on Wagner Avenue in Greenville.

GREENVILLE – Hoping to collect $10,000 in school supplies, representatives for Darke County’s United Way spent Friday, July 29, accepting donations for the 2016 Stuff A Bus event. Individuals as well as businesses throughout the county were invited to make donations of school supplies during the past month. Final collection points were in the parking lot of Buffalo Wild Wings in Greenville as well as at Versailles Board of Education parking lot, with the Versailles FFA manning that collection spot. “We did $6,000 last year,” said Christy Baker, United Way Executive Director. “Every Darke County school will get several boxes of supplies.” The United Way has sponsored the school supply collection for at least

10 years, Baker said. Once the supplies are gathered and boxed up, area school ofﬁcials will be able to stop by the United Way ofﬁce and pick up supplies for their schools. Supplies will include a variety of paper, notebooks, pencils, crayons, glue sticks, Kleenex, Zip Lock bags and back packs. “Everything that’s on the school lists, we collect,” Baker said. The Blue Angels 4-H Club has donated time for several years, working to sort and box the supplies, said club adviser Amy Addis. “The club members do this as part of their community service,” Addis explained. Erica Wentworth of State of the Heart dropped off several large boxes of supplies in Greenville on Friday. “We are a United Way agency,” Wentworth said. “We wanted to give back to our community.” Wentworth noted that 24 em-

ployees from several area State of the Heart ofﬁces participated in the donation effort. When classes begin in August, Baker said, each school will disseminate the supplies to students who may be in need.

The majority of the supplies collected for Stuff a Bus go to Greenville City Schools, Baker said. Those who would still like to make a donation may drop supplies off at the United Way ofﬁce, 397 E. Fourth St., Greenville.

Aerial mapping next phase of county airport project SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – Darke County Commissioners have approved a notice to proceed with Geopro Consultants LLC to conduct aerial mapping of the Darke County Airport. The project is in prepa-

ration for the airport’s ﬂight plan to be submitted to the FAA for review and approval. On Aug. 3, during discussion before approval of the notice to proceed, Commissioner Diane Delaplane asked John Cook, county business administrator if a previous aerial mapping could be used to prepare the submission to

the FAA. Cook explained that this aerial mapping was needed “in order for the next phase” of the project and that it was different in that it was “3-D mapping.” Commissioner Mike Rhoades said the new process would include contouring and elevation of the ground and that it “has to be done when leaves are

on the trees.” Also Aug. 3, commissioners opened three bids for roof replacement on the Darke County Home. Commission approved the acceptance of the bids and will review them prior to making a ﬁnal decision, hopefully during their Monday, Aug. 8 regular meeting.

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT

Police issue citations for disorderly behavior Disorderly On July 27 two officers were dispatched to the Speedway South, 1350 Switzer St. in reference to a theft in progress. Two people advised the officers they saw Joshua Back steal beer and leave the station on a bicycle. Officers located Back in the 300 block of Central

Avenue, where one of the officers chased him down because he refused to stop. The other officer pulled up a few minutes later and could hear Back cursing and witnessed him flipping off the two people who reported the theft and had come to the area. There also was an empty beer can sitting beside Back.

He was warned for disorderly due to his cursing and aggressive behavior. He would not stop and was detained in the back of the police cruiser. The two witnesses told the officer they wanted to file charges against Back for his behavior. The employees at Speedway told the officers they did not want to press charges for the theft. Back admitted to stealing the beer, but remained mostly uncooperative. Back was being disorderly within 1,000 feet of the Greenville Junior High School. He had been warned to stop and was issued a citation for disorderly conduct. He was also warned for trespass from Speedway North and South. The beer was returned to Speedway. On July 30 an officer made contact with Joshua Back in the 300 block of South Broadway in order to serve him a citation for another incident, which occurred the previous day. Back also was a suspect in a theft incident that occurred approximately 30 minutes prior at the Speedway North, in which he was believed to have stolen beer and cigarettes. Upon contact with Back, he had strong odor of an alcoholic beverage about his person as well as slurred speech. Back was very uncooperative and continuously shouted things that were

irrelevant to the situation. While Back was standing in the roadway, the officer noticed he swayed while standing and he appeared to be highly intoxicated. The officer served Back a citation for the other incident and upon doing so, he ripped it into several pieces then threw the pieces on the road. He was then placed under arrest for littering and disorderly conduct. Back was transported to the Darke County Jail where he was incarcerated with a bond of $800. On July 29 an officer was dispatched to the 1000 block of Donald Drive in reference to a person lying in the middle of the road. The officer arrived on scene and saw Duncan Beatty lying in the road with his hands underneath his head like he purposely lay down and went to sleep. The officer tried several times to waken Beatty but he would only answer a question and go right back to sleep. The officer looked inside Beatty’s vehicle, which was parked next to him with the driver’s door open and immediately observed two pistols on the driver’s side floorboard. Sitting on the passenger side passed out was Susan Herron. The officer took possession of the firearms, both of which were loaded with a round in each chamber. The rescue squad

arrived and began to treat Beatty and Herron due to their level of intoxication. Herron began to vomit and never was able to answer questions or become coherent. She was transported to Wayne Healthcare. Beatty finally started to make sense and was able to stand on his own and answer questions. He admitted he and Herron had been drinking margaritas earlier but denied drug use. He refused treatment from the squad, became disorderly and went to sit down in the yard. Beatty will be charged with disorderly conduct and having weapons while intoxicated. The firearms were transported to the police department and placed into property as evidence. On July 31, the police department received a complaint from Brandon Norvell and his girlfriend about a man they found passed out in the center of Front Street, just east of Harrison Avenue. The couple said they almost ran over the man. Norvell told officers he attempted to wake the man. The man got upset and tried to open the car door. Norvell asked the man to step back because his girlfriend was in the car. The man got more upset so Norvell got in his car and called police, then drove home. On the officer’s arrival, he found Daniel Belew passed out on the front porch of a residence in the 300 block of Harrison Avenue. Belew fit the description given by Norvell. The officer attempted to waken Belew. He was disoriented and had a strong odor of alcohol about his person. His eyes were glassy and bloodshot and he was unsteady on his feet. The officer asked him for his ID and he pulled out a light and held it out. The officer asked how old he was and Belew said he said 20. The officer check his real age and found he is 24. Belew said he drank about a 12 pack of beer. The officer put Belew inside the cruiser while he made arrangements for Norvell to return to the scene. Norvell arrived and identified Belew as the man he found in the street. Belew was issued a misdemeanor citation for disorderly conduct in the vicinity pf the junior high and Montessori schools. The officer drove Belew home and released him to the custody of his mother. Shoplifting On July 30 an officer was dispatched to Speedway, 201 Wavner Ave. on a report of a theft. An employee advised the officer a white male came in to the store earlier in the night and stole several beers from the beer

cave cooler, then walked behind the sales counter of the store and stole a pack of cigarettes. Two hours later, the man returned to the Speedway. The employee said the man went to the beer cave cooler again and removed two beers. The employee attempted to stop the man from removing the beers but the man became belligerent and stated he works for the CIA. The employee told the officer he avoided further confrontation with the man so the problem would not get worse. The male left Speedway, again without paying for the items. In his report, the officer said he was familiar with the suspect, Joshua Back, because he did the same thing a few days earlier at the Speedway South gas station. Back also came to the Greenville Police Department on the same day to report a harassment complaint, which occurred at Danny’s Place bar. Later on the same date, the reporting officer located Back standing in the 300 block of South Broadway near Danny’s Place. Back’s clothing and physical description matched what the reporting party described. Back admitted to being at Speedway North earlier in the evening and he had taken the beer without paying for it. Back had a strong odor of alcohol. The officer contacted the Speedway manager who said he wished to pursue theft charges against Back because he’d been a persistent problem over the past few days. Theft On July 28 an officer was called to McMiller’s Carryout on Martin Street in reference to a theft in progress. Prior to the officer’s arrival he was advised the suspect, Cody Paul took money out of the register and fled the area. The officer checked the area for the suspect, but could not locate him. He did locate the witness, Justin Strickland in the 300 block of Riffle Avenue. Strickland told the officer he saw Paul running out of McMiller’s and was later told he stole money from the register. The officer went to McMiller’s to speak to employees. Eric Toomey said he was working the cash register on the west side of the store when Paul walked up to the register and attempted to purchase some gum. Toomey said he noticed Paul was wearing a Michigan University hoody, sunglasses and a hat. Toomey rang up the gum and Paul paid with change. Paul threw part of the change on the counter causing it to go in different directions. Toomey opened the register and started to put some of the change inside. While Toomey was looking for the dropped change, Paul reached over the counter and into the register. He removed approximately $100 in $10 bills. Toomey told Paul to stop, but Paul turned and ran out the door with Toomey chasing him. Another employee, Heather Clark said she saw Paul run out of the store and said she recognized Paul as a regular customer but did not know his name. The manager, Justin Wrench came to the scene and allowed the officer to view the video surveillance. The officer attempted to contact Paul, but was not able to do so. A citation for theft was written for Paul and will be served when he is located.

Chief Wolf leaves Greenville Fire Department BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – One month after the retirement of Assistant Fire Chief Dave McDermitt, Mark A. Wolf officially stepped down Friday after 14 years as chief of the Greenville Fire Department. Wolf, who has over 35 years of community service, first joined the department in April 1988 after leaving the Cincinnati area. He was later promoted to chief in July 2002. “I will absolutely miss working with all the guys here at the department,” Wolf stated. “We are like a family here…when we go to work there is that bond there that I will miss greatly!” During the transition process of determining the new chief, GFD Captain Russell Thompson will be assigned as interim chief. The final decision for appointing the new chief will take place following testing – which is scheduled for September. “I was the first firefighter hired after he (Wolf) became chief and to step in as the interim chief now that he is gone is extremely humbling,” said Greenville Fire Department

Tryonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research concluded that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Greenville was near the top in all but one position, safety service director.â&#x20AC;? The report also revealed it was difďŹ cult to get a true ďŹ gure of compensation for the street superintendent because the positionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list of responsibilities has been expanded. The report, which was approved by council, asked that the salaries of the safety service director and street superintendent be reviewed by a committee. Tryon, when searching for communities similar to Greenville, looked for cities that had a mix of agriculture, industry and retail, were not located along an interstate, and had a similar poverty level and median income. Some of the cities he mentioned were Van Wert, Bellefontaine, Urbana, Eaton, Celina, DeďŹ ance, and Paulding. Councilman Todd Oliver questioned the difference in the safety service

directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current pay to what the other communities are paying. Tryon explained some of the cities were statutory with a safety service director while others were chartered with a city manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What it comes out to is the current safety service director tops out at $74,000 while most were at $90,000 or in that range, unless it was in a smaller community,â&#x20AC;? said Tryon. Tryon continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The street department head, again there was some difďŹ culty in that because in some cases the safety service director was in more of that job than anyone else.â&#x20AC;? Greenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s street superintendent has a bigger role in caring for the parks, but it in some communities that role falls onto the park manager. President Burkett asked the Committee on Personnel, which includes Oliver, chairman, Dori Howdieshell, vice-chairman,

and Tryon, member, to take a closer look at the salaries of the safety service director and street superintendent and present a report to council at the ďŹ rst meeting in October. Tryonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report also addressed the new federal mandate on salaried employees earning less than the $47,000 minimum. The report stated these employees are currently on a 35-hour work week and their hours are closely monitored. If they are required to work over 40-hours they will receive overtime pay. Council also learned the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration has asked Erwin Brothers to sign a pre-annexation agreement before it will provide services, such as water and sewer, outside the city limits. Erwin Brothers is currently building a truck stop in the new industrial park south of the Darke County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OfďŹ ce. The sticking

point on the agreement is the city would require Erwin Brothers to provide curbs, gutters, sidewalks and turn-lane. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pre-annexation agreement with the county at the industrial park to provide the same services did not include the same stipulations. According to Safety Service Director Curt Garrison, Erwin Brothers returned the contract with that portion omitted. Garrison asked council whether he should approve the contract as it was returned or if the city should require the company to agree to curbs, gutters, sidewalks and turn-lane before offering services outside the city limits. Council offered an informal show of support for the original preannexation contract sent to Erwin Brothers with one councilperson stating, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got your back on this.â&#x20AC;?

ON YOUR MIND

READERS WRITE HOW A REPUBLIC WORKS Both major party presidential candidates present unique problems if granted a term in the Executive Office. Yet there are literally thousands of other names on the ballot as well. Each one of these down-ticket candidates represents an opportunity to hold that Executive in check. This is how a republican form of self-government was designed to work. Both sloth and ignorance on our part is to blame for an electorate that puts far too much hope for change in a single individual or office. We’ve been duped into supporting the usurpation of power by these potentates (and their court appointees.) Power that was originally granted to US, as individuals, by our Creator. The bottom line is this; No matter who wins the top job we all need to prepare for the worst by fortifying the state and US legislatures with respectable representatives that will honor their oath to the office they hold, restore the US Constitution, and use the power that we ‘loaned’ them to hold any Executive accountable to “our” Constitution. Doug Cook, Bradford

Addressing the threat from superbugs Antibiotic-resistant, so-called “superbugs” are an increasingly dangerous SHERROD threat to BROWN Ohioans. U.S. SENATOR In 2013, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report estimated that more than two million Americans suffer from antibiotic-resistant infections each year — and they can be deadly for tens of thousands of patients. These infections are painful and difﬁcult to treat, and they’ve moved beyond just hospitals, to infect healthy adults and children. The superbugs that cause them are an increasing threat to our health in large part because of the over-prescription and misuse of antibiotics. A recent study found that a full onethird of antibiotic prescriptions were deemed unnecessary or inappropriate. If this practice is allowed to continue, we are going to end up with a generation of antibiotics that are virtually ineffective. In fact, we are already very close to this reality. Antibiotics have been one of the greatest public health achievements of all time. A baby born in 1900 could expect to live just 47 years. Because of the work we’ve done on public health and particularly the advent and spread of antibiotics, we now live three decades longer. That’s why it’s critical that we do everything possible to ensure antibiotics remain one of our most effective tools to ﬁght disease. Last month, I reintro-

duced the Strategies to Address Antibiotic Resistance — or STAAR — Act, to strengthen the federal response to antibiotic-resistant bacteria. It would improve our existing monitoring, data collection, and research efforts to help protect current and future antibiotics from becoming ineffective. In 2013, the CDC released policy recommendations as part of a report on antibiotic resistance, and this bill reﬂects many of those policy ideas. It complements and supports initiatives outlined in President Obama’s National Action Plan for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria, and would ensure that momentum to address this public health crisis will continue into the next Administration. Speciﬁcally, the STAAR Act would allow the CDC to partner with local health departments to form collaboratives focused on preventing superbugs, and it would provide resources for healthcare facilities to study and encourage the safe and appropriate use of antibiotics. The legislation would also require annual reports to Congress on the implementation of the National Action Plan for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria to ensure it stays on track. We have to be proactive if we want to prevent a public health crisis, and stop the spread of these superbugs before they erase many of the health gains we’ve made over the past century. We cannot allow a return to the days when an ear infection could threaten a child’s life, or “routine surgery” was an oxymoron.

Detling joins elections board COLUMBUS – Secretary of State Jon Husted has appointed James S. Detling as a member of the Darke County Board of Elections. Detling will ﬁll the unexpired term of Beverly Marker. State law requires bipartisan representation on each of Ohio’s 88 county boards of elections. Each board is made up of two Republican members and two Demo-

cratic members, all of whom must be qualiﬁed electors in the counties for which they serve. The Secretary of State makes appointments to boards of elections based on the recommendations of the executive committees of the respective county political parties. Detling was recommended by the Darke County Republican Executive Committee.

Put focus on driving and other drivers KEITH FOUTZ

PUBLISHER klfoutz@earlybirdpaper.com

I grew up here in Darke County. My family is from Darke County. My four brothers and one sister all graduated from GHS. I returned home after living in 13 different states and working for newspapers in a variety of markets. I moved back home from a town in Oregon that had a population in excess of 100,000 residents and county population that exceeded 175,000. I mention all of the above because since returning I am astounded by two major facts; #1. Our town and county, like most across America, have a severe

drug issue. #2. We seemingly have more accidents than the city and county I moved from despite having just a fraction of the population. Issue number one, we’re all aware of, concerned with and working hard on strategies to help address and hopefully resolve. It is a serious one that requires input and assistance from everyone. It’s the second item I would like to discuss at this time. After the most recent fatality that occurred at 127 and Kruckeberg Road on Tuesday at approximately 5:15 p.m. I read hundreds of comments on The Early Bird Facebook page with some offering prayers to the family, (al-

ways a good thing in my opinion) along with suggestions and comments on how to “ﬁx” this specific area of State Route 127. So here is my two cents worth: First and foremost, slow down; I often tell our employees and Independent Contractors, I would much rather have you be a few minutes late and arrive safely, than taking risks to be on time. Secondly, focus on driving, other drivers and the road. Pay attention to the task at hand. Thirdly, I believe Ohio should consider prohibiting the use of cell phones while driving. Other states have implemented handsfree only conversations while others have gone even further and prohib-

ited the use of cell phones altogether. No calls. No texting. No games. I read some suggestions which state we should consider adding lights or possibly barricades placed strategically to help resolve or reduce the possibility of accidents in this speciﬁc area. I don’t profess to have THE correct answer. What I do know is life is far too short for our community to continue to lose our neighbors, friends and relatives at the current rate we’re experiencing. Please, slow down. Please pay closer attention. Please, please stay off your cell phone. Accidents will continue to happen, but hopefully we can all make a concerted effort to help reduce them.

Absentee voting for special election set GREENVILLE – The Darke County Board of Elections will be conducting Early/In-Person Absentee voting for the upcoming Sept. 13 Special Congressional Primary Election, beginning Aug. 16. Pursuant to the change in Section 3509 of the Ohio Revised Code, any registered voter who chooses to vote absentee, can do so without the prior restricted eligibility requirements. However, with that change, there are other requirements that a voter must meet. The application must include the name, voter residence address, voter’s birth date, plus one of the following — an Ohio driver’s license number, the last four digits of your Social Security number, or a copy of a current and valid photo identification, a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document that shows your name and address, along with applicant’s signature, election for which the ballots are requested and, if a partisan primary election, the voter’s political party affiliation. The request can be made on a standard Application for Absent Voter’s Ballot, which is provided upon request from the Board office, or a written request from the voter with the necessary information. (R.C. 3509.03, 3511.02) The deadline for mail-in applications remains noon on the third day before the Election, Sept. 10. The final day to vote absentee in their office will be on

Sept. 12, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. If a voter, or voter’s minor child, is hospitalized because of an accident or an unforeseeable medical emergency, the voter may apply for an absentee ballot until 3 p.m. on Election Day. Any person confined in a hospital on Election Day, or those parents who have hospitalized children on Election Day, may apply to vote absentee without regard to the length of the hospital stay. Those confined to the hospital or are otherwise disabled or suffer a physical infirmity may request assistance in marking their ballot. Two Board of Election employees of the two major political parties will come to the voter, assist them in marking the ballot and return the voted ballot to the Board office. This service is for confined absentee voters who are unable to mark their ballots by reason of either illiteracy or physical infirmity only. Board employees may also assist voters at the Board office. The Secretary of State has set uniform days and hours for Early/In-Person

Absentee voting for all eligible voters. All Board of Elections in Ohio have adopted the following business hours for this election cycle: * Aug. 16-19, Wednesday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. * Aug. 22-26, MondayFriday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. * Aug. 29-Sept. 2, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. * Sept. 5-9, MondayFriday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. * Sept. 10, Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. * Sept. 11, Sunday, 1-5 p.m. * Sept. 12, Monday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Voting hours are posted on the Board of Elections website along with other pertinent information pertaining to the Sept. 13 Special Congressional Primary Election. Visit www.electionsonthe.net/oh/Darke. Completed ballots must be returned to the Board of

Elections in person or via a method other than U.S. mail before the close of the polls, 7:30 p.m. Sept. 13, to be counted. Absentee ballots returned by U.S. mail from within the United States must be postmarked no later than Sept. 12 and received in their ofﬁce by Sept. 23. There must be a legible postmark stamped on the envelope. The only exception is if the voter is outside of the United States on Election Day, the ballot envelope must be postmarked prior to the close of the polls and received by the board no later than 10 days after the election (Sept. 23). Any questions regarding this information or requests for assistance in early/absentee voting may call the ofﬁce at 548-1835 during the above stated hours or contact us by email at darke@ohiosecretaryofstate.gov.

Shoe drive helps provide safe water GREENVILLE – Greenville Church of the Brethren is helping to provide safe water to people around the world by hosting a shoe drive from Aug. 1–31. Shoes of any size and condition can be dropped off at Greenville Church of the Brethren, 421 Central Ave., 9 a.m.–noon, Tuesday through Friday. The shoes will be donated to WaterStep, an organization that uses training and technology to create longlasting water solutions for developing countries. For more information or if you have shoes to donate and would like for them to be picked up, contact the church 548-3583. Once the shoes are collected and donated to WaterStep, they are sold to an exporter.

The shoes are then repurposed and re-sold in marketplaces providing affordable footwear to those in need. WaterStep collects

on average 30,000 pounds of shoes each month, so that’s 30,000 pounds of waste that is kept from going into landﬁlls. To learn more, call (502) 568-6342 or visit www.waterstep.org.

HELMER – Melissa “Missy” S. Helmer, 42, of Greenville passed away at her home on Wednesday, August 3, 2016 after a lengthy illness. She was surrounded by family and did things her way, right until the very end. Missy was born in Greenville, in November 1973 to Richard Helmer, of Greenville, and Patricia Bogue, of Celina. Missy is also survived by her brother, Randy Helmer of Union City, IN, a sister Jodi Gilroy (Rocky) of Rossburg, and her sister and guardian Ronda Baker (Joseph) of Greenville, numerous nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and many other family members and

friends. To know Missy was to love her. Missy was proud to be a 1995 Versailles High School graduate, and worked for many years at Wayne Industries up until the onset of her sickness in 2012. She attended St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Greenville and proudly kept a tip jar in her bedroom for $1 donations that she collected and donated to her church several times a year. She was generous with her hugs, but wouldn’t hesitate to let you know exactly what she was thinking. For better or for worse. Even in passing, Missy is helping others.

BURR – At 5:10 PM on August 2, 2016, at Greenville, Bro. Elias John Burr passed into the more immediate presence of angels, who swiftly conveyed him from the scene of a tragic accident to a state of unbounded bliss. Bro. Elias was born on August 14, 1999 in Fairborn. Angels rejoiced as he was born again on March 14, 2008, at the tender age of eight. A few months later he was entirely sanctiﬁed. Bro. Elias was a living testimony to the saving and keeping power of the grace of God. He being dead still speaks. Like Moses, he gladly chose to rather suffer reproach and afﬂiction with the people of God, than to enjoy the

pleasures of sin for a season. He deﬁed the course of this world, and ﬂed youthful lusts. He lived a life of radical holiness, and boldly exhorted his peers to do the same. His allegiance and faithfulness to the church of God were unmistakable, and upon his departure from this life, he left no occasion for doubt or question as to his present abode in the paradise of God. Bro. Elias leaves behind his grieving mother, Crystal Burr of Greenville; father, Jason Hargrave of Greenville; sister, Aleese Estrada of Oklahoma City, Okla.; brothers, Michael and Jordan Burr of Greenville; grandparents, Pamela Burr of Jacksonville, Fla., and Thad and Mary Ann Burr of Southbury, Conn., as well other grieving relatives, saints, classmates, and friends. He was preceded in death by his grandmother Phyllis Hargrave. Those who knew him remember him as a saint, devoted friend, excellent worker, superb horseman, and a natural

winner of the hearts of men. While we do not understand why God so suddenly removed this young soldier of the Cross from the battle field of earth, we refuse to question the Omniscience of His Creator. His presence, songs, testimonies and exhortations will be much missed in the assembly of the saints. Even now, his example is stirring the hearts of those he left behind. If we will honor His memory, we must fight like he fought, and love like he loved. There will be a service held on Sunday, August 7, 2016 at 10 a.m. at Church of God, 5065 St. Rt. 49 S., Greenville, with Brother Ray Tinsman officiating. Burial will follow in the Church of God Cemetery, Greenville. Family will receive friends on Saturday, August 6, 2016 from 5-8 p.m. at the church. Arrangements are under the direction of Zechar Bailey Funeral Home, Greenville. Condolences for the family may be expressed through www.zecharbailey.com.

NFRW visits county to get women to vote BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – Carrie Almond, president of the National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW), has traveled over 11,000 miles through 23 states and she’s not going to stop until Election Day in November. She has also visited Ohio several times having been hosted by 21 Republican Women’s Clubs in the state, which included a 10-day stay in Cleveland for the Republican Convention and a stop in Darke County following the Annie Oakley Festival Parade. Almond has been traveling aboard Rosie, a red, white and blue recreational vehicle bearing the NFRW’s logo and thousands of autographs of those she has come in contact with.

The NFRW has taken an active role in Republican causes and still does, but this year they are focusing on getting women to register to vote. Almond pointed to the ﬁgures that show 23 million women across the country have not registered to vote. Knowing that fact, she said, she didn’t want to “just sit in Alexandria, Va. (the organization’s headquarters).” She is also encouraging Republican Women’s Clubs across the country to support her in this effort. Visitors to the locations where Rosie and Almond make their stops will ﬁnd information on voter registration. Lyn Bliss, president of the Ohio chapter of the NFRW and Greenville resident, has been joining Almond as she travels through Ohio. She was also amazed by the

The officers are President Brenda Miller, Vice President Jane Carroll, Secretary Susan Fowble, Treasurer Dorothy Poeppelman and Assistant Treasurer Lindsey Gehret. The program for the evening featured Mary Baker, practice representative for Johnston Chiropractic. She talked about the increased longevity. Currently the average life span is 77.6 years. By the year 2030 there will be 800,000 people over the age of 100 with many living to be 150 years old. Many things have improved over the years such as dental care and cosmetic procedures which enable us to live longer. The “prime” of life is around age 23 however most people experience decreased mobility after

age 60. Since the nervous system controls everything, it is important to take care of our spine in similar fashion as it is also important to get regular dental checkups or get maintenance on our cars. She also discussed that through the use of chiropractic care, the quality of life and mobility can be increased greatly through at least age 90 in most cases. Chiropractic helps the body to “heal itself” and can help with headaches and many other issues in addition to neck and back pain. The Greenville BPW Club’s mission is to achieve equity for all women in the workplace through advocacy, education, and information. The Club holds fundraisers through the year to raise money to grant scholarships to the young women of Darke County. The club meets the second Thursday of every month for a dinner meeting with the exception of July and August.

In addition to voter registration, the NFRW is providing information and support for Republican candidates from city hall to White House. As for the presidential election, Almond said the NFRW made a pledge this spring to back the party’s nominee and they are backing Donald Trump for president. She is hoping the NFRW can do what women have been doing for a multitude of generations, “Bring ev-

Preservation Society hosts Garden Tour Library to show Some Like It Hot UNION CITY, Ind. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Preservation Society of Union City IN-OH will host its annual Garden Tour on Aug. 27, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. The rain date will be Aug. 28. Tickets are $10 per person and available at the City Building, 105 Columbia, Union City, Ind. and at the Antique Mall. There is an exciting line-up of homes for the tour that this year features gardens, decks, pools and ponds. As always, you will have an opportunity to get ideas for your own gardens and homes. The homes of Luciano Banda and Sergio Banda are situated facing the Indiana-Ohio state line just two blocks south of Chestnut Street. At the corner of South Street and State Line you will ďŹ nd unique plantings and a welcoming fountain at the home of Luciana Banda. On all sides, visitors will ďŹ nd a beautiful array of plants. The patio has carefully laid stone work and leads you back to South Street. Next at the home Sergio Banda, just one block to the north of Lucianoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home you will see plants surrounding the home. At every turn there is one more surprise from the

baskets hanging from the tree in front to the stone and metal work in the beautifully planned gardens. Think of the view from the porch in early morning light as you look out on the ďŹ&#x201A;owers leading up to and surrounding the home. If you enjoy the sounds of water and nature, the Hufford home at 218 S. Plum is the spot for you. The garden, pond and deck are a labor of love and reďŹ&#x201A;ect the hours of work that have made each corner of this hidden garden a surprise. The coy pond, the decking, stone work, and the plantings transport the onlooker to another place in time. The sounds of bubbling water and chirping birds in the trees create a perfect spot for relaxation and imagination. Leaving town West on Highway 28 just beyond Jackson Pike, just a short distance on the right you will ďŹ nd the Durbin home. As you drive up to the white home with the elevated porch, you will imagine living in the south. Once you have parked in the long paved drive, to the west of the home, you will see the gazebo situated on the pond.

This is just one of the many beautiful sights you will see on this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Garden Tour presented by the Preservation Society.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised if you hear the sound of horses that are in the stables and the ring just beyond the pond. Who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to have lunch at the gazebo or maybe a mint julep or sweetened iced tea as you gaze on the beautiful rural landscape. Lovely plantings surround the home and grounds. When you arrive at the intersection of Jackson Pike and 28 on the southwest corner at 1602 Jackson Pike up a long winding drive, you will ďŹ nd yourself at the Gelhaus home. As you slip through the gate at the back of the home, be prepared for one of the most beautiful pools in the area. Whether by early morning, midday

or a starlit sky at night you will feel transported and can take in the beauty of water and sky. In addition the home is surrounded by carefully manicured plants.

NEW MADISON – TriVillage football fans will get an excellent view of the football ﬁeld on game night compare to last season with the addition of the school’s new football stadium. “We are very excited with the addition of our ﬁrst varsity football season and very proud the way that our facilities are turning out,” said Tri-Village superintendent Josh Sagester. “Very appreciative of all the support that we have garnered from all stakeholders and community members and looking forward to getting

a chance to watch our student athletes participate in football.” “The whole project has been an exciting time around here,” Tri-Village athletic director Brad Gray said. “Obviously the community, once they see the bleachers, that adds just another level to the excitement…adds to the reality that we do have football coming here.” Along with the new stadium comes a complete sports complex including press box, stadium lights, a booming sound system, training facility, lockers, showers, ticket booth, concession stand and more. “I think it is something that everybody in this community can be proud of,” stated Gray. “We’ve had a

COLUMBUS – Peter Pandy, a member of the Green Wave varsity basketball team was invited to play in the USA Junior National Basketball 18U tournament held in Columbus, Ohio. Pandy competed in the regionals in April and was one of three players selected to the play for the prestigious USA Junior National team. “We played two games the ﬁrst day, three the second and ﬁve the third day,” said Pandy of the four-day event. Day four had the teams competing in tournament play.

The USA National Team is an All-Star tournament made up of high school basketball players from across the country. “There were a couple of kids from Columbus, New York, Texas, Tennessee, LA and Canada to name a few,” Pandy stated. Pandy competed in each of three pregame competitions including a three-point contest, slam dunk competition and free throw shooting. Pandy ﬁnished second in the three-point contest drilling six treys in 30 seconds while the winner was making seven three-pointers. Competing in the dunk contest, the income Green Wave senior was the smallest of the contestants at an even 6’0” but managed to

nail one dunk in three tries and made 15 free throws while the winner was sinking 24. “I got my first dunk up… the second one I didn’t,” chuckled Pandy. “I was the shortest. Everyone else was 6’4” - 6’5”. Coached by Lindenwood University-Belleview head basketball coach Scott Spinner had Pandy’s team finishing second overall in a field of six teams with their tournament loss coming in a double overtime sudden death loss. For the game Pandy scored 15-points, knocking down two three-pointers and converting two old fashioned three-point plays. “It was fun,” said Pandy. “A good learning experience.”

Help Wanted: High School Ofﬁcials BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The number of officials who officiate high school sports has steadily declined in recent years and in some cases leaving barely enough officials to comer games. “No matter whatever sport, there is a need for officials,” said former Greenville athletic director, current Greenville Schoolboard President and OHSAA official/referee assigner Fred Matix. “Can’t stress that enough. We have had some good people working but they are getting up in years. They don’t want to work as much or they decide its time hang it up. We need young people getting involved.” “Make some extra money,” said Darke County Commissioner and 27 year high school football official Michael Stegall. “Work your way through college. The biggest advantage is never money…it’s the comradery, learning how to work with people and learning teamwork.” Fewer people are officiating high school games and that has many concerned. “There is a shortage for officials,” said Xenia’s Bob Glaser, a former high school coach of 17 years, current 17 year high school basketball official and OHSAA soccer/ referee assigner. “Soccer is actually the worst. We really need a lot of people to come out of club soccer and get to the high school game.

I know football and baseball are recruiting for high school officials as well.” High school officials are an integral part of interscholastic athletics. They play a critical role in ensuring that student-athletes learn good sportsmanship and the values of fair play. Officials are responsible for establishing a level playing field for each sporting event. “You’re working with young people, you’re working with coaches,” said Matix. “You love the sport and you want to give back. It’s a way to stay in shape…it’s a way to make a little bit of money too.” “There is a great comradery between officials,” Xenia’s Glaser said. “You become friends, build a lot of good strong relationships. It’s a paying position and you can make a good income at it depending on how much you want to put into it. You can move up from high school into college if that is your desires.

My daughter and I both officiate.” Officials help student athletes develop a respect for the rules, respect for the game and respect for their opponents. Officials take an active role in shaping the lives of high school athletes by being an example of integrity. “I’ve had my run at it,” Matix said. “You have to love the game…you played it or you coached it and you want to give back to the kids.” “Get on the Ohio High School Athletic Association website or contact an official or even a coach you have had in high school or at the college level,” Matix said of those interested in officiating. “They can help you find out when the classes are going to be to get you off to a good start.” To learn more about becoming an Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) official visit ohsaa.org/officials

ty Girls Fall Basketball League; “Ballin’ in the Fall” is taking registrations for both a junior high and high school league for the 2016 fall season. The league is designed to encourage girls to love the game of basketball while improving their skills and preparing them for competitive play. “This provides the girls (players) a great opportunity to get into the gym and get game like experience before the season starts,” said Greenville head varsity girls basketball coach Rachel Kerns. “Has been competitive each year.” The league will be run by coaches from both the Versailles and Greenville girls basketball programs.

Beam joins ACME Hall of Fame Wave numbers double under Shaffer BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com CELINA – Greenville’s Kathy Beam was recently inducted into the ACME Baseball Hall of Fame by the ACME Baseball Congress in the class of 2016. “I was very humbled… excited,” said Beam of her induction. “You don’t want recognized when you are having fun and you’re volunteering but it was nice to know how many people’s lives you really touched and what you did.” Beam becomes the 26th member of the prestigious Hall of Fame and becomes the first female ACME Hall of Fame member. Beam is not only the first female Hall of Famer but the Greenville resident is the only lady to fill the role of commissioner for the state, filling the seat as the sixth commissioner since the organization was started in 1960. According to Beam, the commissioner fills the office until they resign or by death. “Chad Spencer from Lima is now the commissioner,” said Beam. “I resigned and turned it over to him. He has done a great job and is carrying on the tradition. That’s important.” Beam’s husband, Rick

Beam was selected to share with those attending the banquet Kathy’s 30 years of involvement with the ACME program. Over her 30 years of involvement, Beam served as State ACME Secretary and eventually served as the ACME State Commissioner. Beam left a positive mark on the organization in her years as ACME Commissioner with three notable additions. First was the ACME Hall of Fame followed by an athlete scholarship for each of the eight districts and third attending and setting up an ACME booth at the Ohio State Coaches Association’s baseball meetings held in January. “We would talk to

coaches from Ohio about ACME and what it meant, what it would mean to their programs and their kids because we had a lot of competition with Legion and the different programs,” said Beam. “Back then you didn’t have a lot of the select teams they have today.” “That is really hurting ACME baseball,” added Beam. “That was a lot of fun back then. I met a lot of great people and coaches that certainly have stuck with me and touched my life in a lot of ways. I’m pretty proud of it.” Kathy and Rick are the proud parents of three sons, Matt, Jeremy and Brian and eight grandchildren.

Bruner wins Breast Cancer Awareness 5K BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – Greenville’s Calen Bruner handily won The Breast Cancer Awareness 5K Race Saturday morning in Greenville with a time of 17:12.6 winning by more than the distance of Broadway from the circle to the Annie Oakley statue finish line. Bruner, a 21-year old distance runner for the Anderson University men’s track and field team will going into his junior season for the Indiana team. “It was a pretty good race,” said Bruner following the event. Sean Roan, a 14-year old runner from New Castle, Indiana finished second overall with an 18:21.5 time. “Second place (Roan) is only in the eighth grade,” Bruner said. “I’m sure when he is my age he’ll be at least there.” Rounding out the top three male finishers were Winchester, Indiana’s 48year old Rory Helms with 18:42.7 showing on the clock. Greenville’s Crystal Barton took first place for the ladies with a finish time of 21:14.9 while Kat Unger also of Greenville finished third at 22:39 and Carolyn

ing to be stepping in to fill some roles that need to be filled this year,” continued Shaffer. “We continue to grow at the JV and freshman level. It’s only going to continue to pay dividends.” “It takes time to build a program the way you want to build and hopefully we have gotten ourselves to a point where we’re competing for that league championship,” added Shaffer. “Two years ago we ended up 4-1 in the league and second in the conference and took a little step back in terms of record last year but we took a step forward as a program being able to get a full freshman, JV and varsity schedule played.” Shaffer has brought stability and confidence to the Green Wave football program. “Our kids get it…they

understand the game” Shaffer stated. “We’re teaching finer points things rather than the big things. It’s been nice to have an experienced group come in here, understand what we are trying to get done, knowing the system scheme and be able to work on the fine points of it.” Coach Shaffer has seen the number of players on the field double over his first four-years as GHS varsity head coach. “In the game of football, generally any sport it tends to be a numbers game,” said Coach Shaffer. “Numbers creates competition. If you only have forty kids out, you only have forty to choose from whereas you get 80…now you have 80 to choose from.” “There are going to be guys that may end up in a backup role but that doesn’t mean their number’s not called,” continued Shaffer. “Right now I feel confident that we have a number of guys that may end up in those backup roles that are going to be able to step in and do pretty close to what the first team guys are doing. Being able to build the program numerically is paying off.”

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – Arcanum took ﬁrst place in the 14U Treaty City Shootout this past weekend at Greenville’s Stebbins Field on the heels of Arcanum’s 8U and 10U girls championships the previous weekend of play giving Arcanum teams three of the four ﬁrst place trophies in the prestigious Treaty City Shootout. “All our girls played well,” said Arcanum 14U girls coach Doug Garno. “Our battery; pitcher (Macy Skelton) and catcher (Gracie Garno) made the difference today…and some timely hits.” The Arcanum girl’s 14U team holds a perfect 20-0 record in tournament play after this weekend’s play spanning the 2015 and 2016 seasons. Arcanum defeated a good Portland, IN team 7-2 in the championship game.

made plays,” said Garno. The Arcanum girls continued to add to its lead while keeping Portland off the board over the ﬁnal ﬁve-innings for the convincing championship win. “We got some timely hits,” said Coach Garno. “For them to battle three games in a row, especially Gracie (Garno)…caught all three games and pretty much limited them… they never stole on us, so its big.” The two-weekend Treaty City Shootout saw a total of 49 girl’s teams competing. “We had a good turnout… 21 teams this weekend,” said GGSA Tournament Coordinator Jason Christman. “We had a good weekend of weather.”

Ithaca talk at Coffee and Conversation ARCANUM – It Happened In Ithaca will be the topic of discussion Aug. 13 at the Arcanum Wayne Trail Historical Society. The ﬁnal session of the Coffee and Conversation Series begins at 10 a.m. with friends gathering to share memories of the village that was platted by John Colville in 1832. Many may think of Ithaca as only a cross road of two state routes - SR 503 and SR 722. These early trails brought settlers from the Ohio River to the rich soil of Darke County. Hubert Cromwell, Jim Hamilton, Weimers, Hoovers, Carolyn Miller Laird and Bill Young all have stories to share about growing up in Ithaca.

Many of their families go back to those early days when Ithaca was the central trading post of the area, where the Traction Line stopped, where Jacob Thomas had a large dry goods store, Dr. John Hamilton’s ofﬁce was on Main St. and Cromwell’s Greenhouse was “outside of town.” In 1959 the two room school, where many of these families attended, closed its doors for the last time. It was one of the last of the one and two room schools to be used in Darke County. You may remember the church ﬁre caused by a fuel tank falling from a National Guard airplane.

Versailles Fire Department competes in Cart Race on Saturday. See more photos from the convention at bluebagmedia.com/photos (Clinton Randall photo)

Versailles’ Station 19 hosts 86th annual CWFA Convention VERSAILLES – The Versailles Fire Department (Station 19) hosted the 86th annual Central Western Fire Association (CWFA) Convention over the weekend. This year’s event welcomed departments from Darke, Miami and Montgomery counties who competed in several traditional competitions. Following the crowning of the Queen at the Versailles High School Friday afternoon, the convention ofﬁcially got underway, across town at Heritage Park. Immediately following the opening ceremony, competition events began with Gear Donning, Hose Line and Bucket Brigade Friday evening. On Satur-

day, the events continued with the Strong Arm, Cart Race, the popular Water Ball event and the newly added Tug of War. The CWFA is a nonproﬁt, tax-exempt organization based out of central and western Ohio and western Indiana. One of the organization’s major goals is to create and maintain a brotherly and fraternal feeling by banding together volunteer, paid-on-call, part-time and full-time Fire, Rescue, EMS, public safety education and public safety personnel. Learn more about the Central Western Fire Association on its ofﬁcial website at www.cwfaohio.com.

GREENVILLE – A special baby shower was held Wednesday, Aug. 4, for area WIC moms and their children – with an emphasis on car seat and crib safety. The Darke County Women Infants and Children (WIC) program sponsored its 4th annual Mommy and Me Shower at South Park in Greenville. About 22 moms attended, some bringing their children, who spent time playing nearby. Many of the women who attended also are expecting or were recent moms who are breastfeeding their babies. “August is Breastfeeding Awareness Month,” said Deanna Schlarman, director of the Darke/Mercer County WIC program. “Any pregnant or breastfeeding mom in our program has an opportunity to come out” for the shower. The shower included a variety of gift bags and other prizes, mostly donated by local businesses, said Sarah Seger, breastfeeding coordinator for the Darke/ Mercer County WIC. “We’re very lucky to have a great community to help us out,” she said. Other organizations also working with expectant and new parents on hand to assist with the shower were Paramount Advantage and Care Source – both Medicaid health plan providers and the Darke County Help Me Grow program. The guest speaker was Greenville Township Res-

cue Squad Assistant Chief Brian Phillips, who discussed the importance of infant/child car seat safety and crib safety with the moms. Phillips passed out a packet of information to each mother and went over the basic safety tips parents should use when installing and using infant and child car seats. While infants ride facing backward for the ﬁrst two years, forward seating should begin when a child reaches age 2, Phillips said, with booster seats allowed for children age 4 years and 40 pounds. “It’s not age 4 OR 40 pounds,” Phillips reminded those present. “It’s age 4 AND 40 pounds.” “When is it time to get out of a booster,” he asked. “Eight years OR 4 feet 9 inches.” At that point, children can ride with the car seatbelt only, he added. Another tip Phillips offered was for parents of older children to be sure

the seat belt ﬁts the child across the chest and that it’s not rubbing across their neck, in order to avoid head and neck injuries in case of an accident. Checking both the car manufacturers manual and instructions on car seats and booster seats are both important for correct installation, Phillips advised. Families who meet WIC income requirements are invited to stop by the township rescue squad facility at 1401 Sater St., Greenville, to obtain a new car seat. The squad also performs installation safety inspections for families. Touching brieﬂy on crib safety, Phillips told the moms that “three babies die per week in Ohio due to unsafe sleeping practices,” explaining that babies should be put to sleep in a safe crib, on their backs with no toys or blankets inside the crib. Dayton Children’s Hospital, Phillips said, does

offer a free Graco Pack ‘n Play program for those who qualify. According to the Dayton Children’s website, the program is titled Cribs for Kids and is administered through the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome of Pennsylvania. Parents/caregivers who attend a one-hour safe-sleep class at the hospital and at the end are provided with a Graco portable crib as well as a Safe Sleep Survival Kit. The program is offered to families within the hospital’s service region and to those who meet WIC income eligibility guidelines, attend the training session and be in the third trimester of pregnancy or have a child age four months or younger. Check out the hospital’s website for more information or call 937-641-3700. “Remember we’re all human and it’s simple to make mistakes that can become fatal,” Phillips said in closing. “I’m serious. Please utilize us.”

Annie Oakley Festival continues to grow RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – “When we came back from the parade, the parking lot was full,” said JoEllen Melling, president of the Annie Oakley Festival Committee. That success was witnessed throughout the 53rd annual Annie Oakley Festival. Melling was pleased with the turnout and the events held at this year’s event. “Attendance is deﬁnitely up,” she said. Dennis Soward, committee member, pointed out some of that success was seen in the number of cars on-hand for the car show. In 2015, the festival hosted a handful of cars and trucks. Those numbers were up signiﬁcantly this year. The festival added a few new events and vendors for this year’s festival. According to Melling, one of the biggest draws of the weekend was the horse show. They are already working to bring the horses back for

next year’s event. Some of the other events and attractions that caught the eye of festival goers were the historical bus tours, Darke County Civic Theatre Melodrama, National Fast Draw Competition and the Western Arts Showcase. On Sunday, the festival once again presented its Family Fun Day. The day featured fun for kids of all ages, including inﬂatables, talent show and the car/ truck show. Melling also praised parade goers and participants for their support of the Annie Oakley Festival Parade. Thousands of onlookers were treated to an impressive parade that featured local businesses, organizations, bands and ﬁrst responders. The Shriners also thrilled parade watchers with their clowns, tiny motorcycles, little cars and all the units they bring to a parade. If you missed this year’s parade, visit The Early Bird’s Facebook Page for a video of the parade.

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Public Library is working with the Darke County Chapter of Public Employee Retirees, Inc., (PERI) to arrange an informational seminar that will be held on three different dates to address concerns and problems involving PERI medical insurance and prescription drug beneﬁts, including questions about their reimbursement funds. The seminar is free and open to both PERI members and nonmembers, who are eligible to retire under OPERS, which is the Ohio Public Employees’ Retirement System. Thanks to the permission of John Vehre, library director, as well as the collaboration of Deb Cameron, Library Special Activities Coordinator, and Warren Richards, Library IT Specialist and Technical Advisor, the seminar will be held on the third ﬂoor in the Library’s boardroom, which is handicap accessible, on the

following dates and times: Aug. 9, 1 to 3 p.m.; Aug. 12, 1 to 3 p.m.; and Aug. 16, 10 a.m. to noon.

Reservations for the seminar are not required. During the seminar, Warren Richards will use his technical skills to transfer videos onto a 70-inch television screen that will feature important informational data that was sent by Steve Toth, who is the Retiree Representative on the OPERS Board of Directors. In an effort to address the concerns of PERI retirees regarding their insurance beneﬁts, Toth requested that the videos be shown before he gives his follow up presentation to the PERI Darke County Chapter at their meeting on October third when he will be their guest speaker.

The event will take place Aug. 13 and the cost is $10 for each furry friend from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The fundraiser will support the FCA concert event, Fields of Faith, at Memorial Hall on Oct. 16.

serve the children in need of a mentor in the Darke County Community,” reports Jennifer Bruns, Big Brothers Big Sisters executive director. Mentoring programs provide support, activities, education, and most importantly, a mentor for children who may not otherwise have one in their lives. The children involved in this program have the opportunity to engage in fun, social and academic enrichment activities with the interaction of their mentor. In 2015 Big Brothers Big Sisters served over 500 children through their mentoring programs and this is all because of wonderful supporters such as Greenville Rotary Club. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke County is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to develop and mature quality relationships between children and volunteers. The relationship is meant to guide each child towards becoming a confident, competent, and caring individual. If anyone is interested in becoming a volunteer, call the office at 547-9622 or 492-7611. Additional information is available at www.bigbrobigsis-shelby-darke.org.

GREENVILLE – The Community Action Partnership and Ohio Development Services Agency will help income-eligible Ohioans stay cool during the hot summer months. The Home Energy Assistance Summer Crisis Program provides eligible Ohioans assistance paying an electric bill or assistance paying for central air conditioning repairs. The program runs through Aug. 31. “Working with Community Action Partnership we want to reduce the risk of heat related illness during July and August. These two months can be extremely hot in Ohio and that can

take a toll on older Ohioans and Ohioans with breathing conditions,” said David Goodman, director of the Ohio Development Services Agency. In 2015 more than 116 families in Darke were assisted through the Home Energy Assistance Summer Crisis Program. The Summer Crisis Program provides assistance to low-income households with an elderly member (60 years or older), or households that can provide physician documentation that cooling assistance is needed for a household member’s health. This can include lung disease; Chronic Obstruc-

tive Pulmonary Disease; or asthma, which affects more than 850,000 Ohioans, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Eligible households can receive up to $300, if they are a customer of a regulated utility, or $500, if they are a customer of unregulated utilities such as electric cooperatives and municipal utilities. The assistance is applied to their utility bill or applied to central air conditioning repair costs. Ohioans must have a gross income at or below 175 percent of the federal poverty guidelines to qualify for assistance. For a family of four the annual income must be

at or below $42,525. Ohioans enrolled in the Percentage of Income Payment Plan Plus Program (PIPP Plus) are not eligible for bill payment assistance through the program but are encouraged to work with Community Action Partnership to identify other opportunities for assistance. For more information about the features of the Summer Crisis Program locally, contact Community Action Partnership at 5488143. Additional information can also be found at www.energyhelp.ohio.gov or by calling the toll-free at (800) 282-0880.

Concert of Caring moves to new venue RUSSIA – Concert of Caring, the major fundraising event for the Northern Counties Office of Catholic Social Services located in Sidney, is moving to a new venue - St. Remy Hall in Russia. This special evening, benefiting programs in Auglaize, Darke, Mercer, Miami, and Shelby Counties, will be held November 4. The featured entertainment is a well-known Dayton-based band – This Side Up. Ticket holders for this dressy casual event are urged to put on their dancing shoes because this high-energy group offers a unique blend of music from all genres guaranteed to have guests singing along, getting up to move, having fun, and even playing the occasional air guitar. Tickets for the 2016 Concert of Caring are $50 per person which includes table seating, dinner buffet, desserts, two drink tickets, and the chance to bid on a variety of Silent Auction items donated by businesses, individuals, and local artisans. There will also be distinctive raffle items and other surprises throughout the evening. Sponsorship opportunities are available and in-

clude signage, program recognition, and reserved table seating. The Headliner Level is $1000 and includes 12 tickets with VIP seating. The Star Level is $500 and includes six tickets with Premier seating. The Artist Level is $250 and includes four tickets with Reserved seating. Proceeds from the concert guarantee continued success of CSSMV services in the Northern Miami Valley. Services include coun-

seling, early childhood intervention, parenting and adoption support in Auglaize and Mercer Counties, and all those services plus the RideLink call center and senior visiting in Darke, Miami, and Shelby Counties. Support of this event could directly help preschool children develop positive social and emotional skills, counsel a teen facing choices about an unplanned pregnancy, give a person coping with de-

pression a chance to work through problems, or provide support for an isolated senior or caregiver. Tickets can be purchased online at www.cssmv-sidney.org/events. For more information, to become a sponsor, or to donate a silent auction item, contact Elaine Schweller-Snyder, Northern Counties Marketing and Development Coordinator, at (937) 4984593 ext. 1141 or snydere@ cssmv.org.

Beard fund supports organizations GREENVILLE – On June 3, representatives from Darke County Parks, Greenville City Park, and the Ladybug Garden Club met at Shawnee Prairie Preserve Nature Center to receive grants from the J. Michael Beard Community Fund, administered by the Darke County Foundation. Mike Beard was a longstanding, active resident of Darke County who died in 2013. He dedicated himself to his family, church, friends, and work at the

Darke County Highway Department. Beard was fond of being outdoors, particularly at county or state parks, where he enjoyed hiking, ﬁshing from the family boat, and going camping. His family chose to extend his legacy throughout the community via non-proﬁt grants and scholarships through the Darke County Foundation. The grant to the Darke County Park District will be used for landscaping and Nature Center beauti-

fication at Christmas time. The Beard children asked that Greenville City Park use its funds to plant trees in the park in memory of their father. The funds going to the Ladybug Garden Club will be used for local beautification projects such as the gazebo area and beds at the Darke County fairgrounds, Greenville traffic circle, Arbor Day tree planting, Garst Museum Christmas trees and Wayne Healthcare Christmas decorating.

RICHMOND, Ind. – Reid Health’s Food & Nutrition Services department was a finalist in a national culinary competition held recently in Dallas, Texas. Reid Health’s Kris Ankeny, director of Food & Nutrition Services, and Dugan Wetzel, culinary coordinator and chef, were one of five teams that competed in seventh annual Culinary Competition at the Association for Healthcare Foodservice (AHF) conference. Reid’s team was one of five finalists selected from a field of 19 hospitals nationwide. “We didn’t place in the top three but we also were the only team of a hospital food services director and a chef -- the other teams all had two chefs,” Ankeny said, noting her department was honored to have been included in the event. She said the dish they made -- Fire Roasted Poblano Flank Steak over Cheesy Potato Grits – was served in Reid’s Café at Twelve Hundred June 29 so team members and visitors could sample their creation. The (AHF) conference brings together the brightest minds in self-operated healthcare food service and hospitality for education, networking and a culinary competition, Ankeny said. Prospective contestants submitted detailed applications. “The winning dish had to fit within nutritional guidelines, cost under $8 to produce, be delicious, and appropriate to serve in a facility on regular menu rotation, whether retail, catering or inpatient

trays. The teams and their dishes were judged on organization, culinary skills, taste and presentation,” she said. This is the ﬁrst time a team from Reid Health was asked to participate and was the only team from Indiana to ever be accepted into competition.

Formed in 2009, the AHF is composed of food and nutrition professionals from facilities that are self-operated. AHF advances the foodservice and hospitality industry in all healthcare segments by supporting member organizations through continuing

education, networking opportunities, annual conferences, and innovative equipment and service through their business partners. AHF advocates for and supports its members to create best practice, while connecting the leaders that advance the industry.

ing contributions to musical theatre productions in the Dayton area, McKibben and Glover will perform with the GMCB excerpts from Phantom of the Opera and the classic Somewhere from West Side Story. McKibben will also perform Bring Him Home from Les Miserables and Glover will also sing the great aria I Dreamed a

Dream also from Les Miserables. The GMCB will perform a tribute to the music of Marvin Hamlisch. Hamlisch was one of Broadway’s greatest composers. He was the recipient of three Oscars, four Grammys, four Emmy’s, a Tony and three Golden Globes. Sadly, the music of Hamlisch stopped

in 2012 and the band would like to pay a musical tribute to this great talent. Also featured for the evening are marches of Henry Fillmore and the exciting overture Encanto. Seating is available or you may bring your own lawn chair or blanket. As always, concerts are free and open to the public.

DeColores receives Monsanto Fund grant GREENVILLE –Employees from Monsanto Company recommended the DeColores Montessori School to receive a $10,000 grant from the Monsanto Fund’s 2016 site grant initiative. Funds from the grant will be used to renovate an existing structure at the DeColores Montessori Farm School into a high tech STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Fab Lab. “We, at DeColores Montessori, are grateful to the Monsanto Fund and are very excited to take the ﬁrst steps in creating a STEM ‘Fab Lab’ that will equip our school with tools to enhance students’ abilities to be innovators and problem solvers,” said Sharon Vanden Bosch, Assistant Principal at DeColores Montessori School. “Our school has provided Darke County and the

surrounding area with 30 years of quality education. The development of the STEM ‘Fab Lab’ complements our ‘hands-on’ approach to learning, and we feel that this technology will provide tremendous opportunities for growth and development which will serve not only our stu-

dents and school, but also the whole community. ” “Monsanto encourages the furthering of education locally in agriculture and STEM related courses and training. The Montessori Farm School Lab will enhance this training for students from the local community,” said Matt Garber Site Lead at Greenville. “We’re happy to support the DeColores Montessori School with this Monsanto Fund grant.” This year, the Monsanto Fund awarded more than $1.4 million to nonprofit organizations through its site grant initiative to help address essential needs in rural communities. Nonprofit organizations across the U.S. have received more than $7.5 million through this program over the last five years.
