Jury ﬁnds Arcanum man responsible for death of wife GREENVILLE – A jury found 45-year-old Raymond R. Emerson responsible for a January 2014 overdose that led to the death of his wife. Following a 2-day trial in the Darke County Common Pleas Court, it took the jury less than three hours to return a guilty verdict Wednesday afternoon on a sole count of Corrupting Another with Drugs, a second degree felony. A charge of Involuntary Manslaughter, a ﬁrst degree felony, was dismissed prior to the start of the trial Tuesday morning. According to report from our media partners at WHIO, Emerson had appeared on camera following the death of Angela (his wife) offering a cash reward for anyone with information of where the drugs came from that lead

to her death. The state ﬁled the charges on Emerson after a ten month investigation into the death of his wife. According to court documents, Angela Emerson took a fatal amount of the severe pain medication Fentanyl on January 18, 2014 at their home in Arcanum. Emerson will return for sentencing on the conviction at a later date. He faces a maximum of eight years behind bars and a $15,000 ﬁne.

Student athletes and parent representatives will begin the event at 5 p.m. from Greenville High School Football Stadium. If you will not be home during the event but would still like to contribute; you can also mail your donation to Greenville Athletic Boosters c/o “Back the Wave” 100 Green Wave Way Greenville, Ohio 45331. Any questions concerning this event may be directed to Greenville’s Athletic Ofﬁce between the hours 8-4 p.m. at 548-4416.

GREENVILLE – After 81 of years of providing a venue for entertainment to local residents, the Marling Band Shell could soon witness an upgrade. Greenville Parks Commission President Dale Musser recently announced the Ohio Department of Natural Resources has approved the Greenville City Parks for a $150,000 grant. Greenville City Council agreed to a $150,000 match a few months ago with the stipulation the Park Commission raise funds to reimburse the city. Musser pointed out there is still one hurdle the park must cross before the grant money is received. The National Park Service must review and sign off on the grant. However, he believes this is merely a formality. The Park Commission is well on its way to raising the funds needed to reimburse the city through private donations. Musser said approximately $80,000 has already been pledged. Some individuals have already pledged large amounts over a two year period, while others have given as little as $10. Musser believes the public is willing to invest in one of the Greenville City Park’s iconic landmarks and will raise the remaining funds needed to take the burden from the city’s taxpayers. The majority, if not all, of the donations received thus far have come from individuals. Musser is hoping local businesses will also invest in their community. He will soon be approaching area banks and social organizations to garner support, but encouraged all businesses to

get involved. The Park Commission is expected to begin the process of designing and bidding the renovations. Construction cannot begin until the funds from the grant are secured. The Marling Band Shell and the Greenville Municipal Band has had a long history together. Nearly every Sunday evening from the July 4th weekend to Labor Day, music has ﬁlled the air in the Greenville City Park. It has been home to many renowned directors and musicians, including one of the Municipal Band’s longest serving members and leaders, Dwight Brown (aka Brownie). Brown was a member of the band and its director for over 50 years. He turned the reins over to Russell Aukerman in the mid-1970s. Today, JR Price serves as the band’s director. It’s possible the band was in existence in some form prior to 1869, but records indicate the group was established on May 22 of that year. The band has

called the Marling Band Shell home longer than any other venue. Why is it called the Marling Band Shell? Who was Marling? Is it like the band shell’s neighbor, Harmon Field, where Harmon wasn’t even a member of the community and may have never stepped foot in Greenville? Marling was deﬁnitely a resident of the community and a strong supporter of Greenville. By trade, Albert J. Marling was a dentist. He was born Aug. 17, 1850 in Cambridge, Ohio, but moved to Greenville in 1878 when he opened his dentist ofﬁce. In his last will and testament, Marling stipulated the income from his estate was to be used “for charitable purposes, preference to be given to the Greenville Hospital, City Park Playground, crippled and unfortunate children and to such other movements and tendencies and charitable uses as may be deemed proper.” As the late Bill Booker wrote for The Early Bird in June

1982, “And the ﬁnal lines even further bespoke of his warm feeling for Greenville…and, in fact, resulted in the erection of the Marling Band Shell. ‘When deemed necessary or desirable part of the principal may be used by them (the trustees of his estate) for such purposes, as I wish my estate to be used for the greatest beneﬁt of the greatest number of people in Greenville, Ohio, where I have spent my life and accumulated my estate by industry and frugality.’” Donations can be sent to Greenville City Parks, c/o Band Shell Project, 100 Public Square, Greenville, Ohio 45331 or call 5482315. Donations do not fund the Greenville City Municipal Band, but are tax deductible. Giving levels are Platinum - $25,000 or more; Gold - $15,000 to $24,999; Silver - $10,000 to $14,999; Bronze $5,000 to $9,999; and Copper – other. All donations are appreciated and crucial to the success of the project.

Beef and Dairy Pavilion dedication held RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Although the new Beef and Dairy Pavilion was in use during last year’s fair, the nearly $2 million building was not ﬁnished. Bruns Construction, Bud’s Electric and other businesses and organizations worked together to make sure it would pass inspection for use during the 2014 fair, and although a nice edition, fair exhibitors weren’t able to experience entirely what the building had to offer. The 2015 fair will be different – the building is now completely ﬁnished and the Darke County Agricultural Society’s Board of Directors (past and present), along

with donors, county and state ofﬁcials and invited guests celebrated with a dedication ceremony and ribbon cutting. The new structure was needed after ﬁre destroyed the Cow Palace on Dec. 27, 2013. Brian Rismiller, Ag Society president, welcomed guest and said, “We tried to get this thing done as quick as we could and it turned out fabulous.” Although insurance paid the majority of the cost to replace the buildings, it wasn’t enough to cover the complete cost. One board member after another praised the local businesses and organizations for stepping up and helping make the new building what it is. The Andersons donated $50,001

and will have a 6x10 sign inside the barn for a minimum of 10 years. Second National Bank gave $30,000 and is recognized with a 4x8 sign. The Darke County Harness Horsemen presented the Ag Society with $10,001 and has a 3x6 sign in the building. Donations from individuals in the community, 4-H clubs and fairgoers were also received. Board member Jerry Marker gave a summary of the costs involved with the project. * Demolition $60,693.74 * Bruns Construction, general contractor $1,269,903.54 * Bud’s Electric $186,492.93 * Cattle Ties $130,867.50

* Miscellaneous Expenses - $85,372 The total cost exceeded $1,733, 300 Daryl Rifﬂe, fair man-

ager, said he refuses to call the new building a barn. “I’ve been in barns that don’t look like this.” According to Rismiller,

the new building will be used for more than housing cattle during the fair. It will be a multi-purpose building.

Not a typical bank - the credit union difference

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between a bank and a credit union? Well I am here to get the good news out that the biggest difference is YOU! That’s right, you are the difference, YOU, and all the other members of a credit union. YOU are a shareholder in the credit union when you become a member. By depositing a minimum amount of $25.00, you have earned the right to govern the credit union, and share in all the profits of the credit union. Instead of just a few stockholders receiving benefits from a profitable company, a credit union gives back to all its members in the form of higher dividends, lower loan rates, and fewer fees and service charges.

Why do Credit Unions allow you to become a shareholder? Because we believe in a cooperative environment, where a shareholder who has excess cash can lend to a shareholder that needs a loan, whether it be a 1st mortgage, vehicle, or just personal loan for that refrigerator that blew last night. We believe in helping our fellow shareholders. Members Choice Credit Union, Inc. is Darke County’s only credit union, and is open to all residents of Darke County. If you believe in the cooperative nature, and want to belong where you save, and borrow, check out the Members Choice Credit Union Inc. Clip the coupon below to start an account at the credit union, free of charge, and experience the difference.

ﬁcially “On vacation for three weeks!” However, before coming to Darke County she was busy participating and winning medals at the Special Olympics events held in her own hometown. Melissa Phillips works at a quaint friendly little beauty salon in Bradford called “Theresa’s.” She does my hair and when called she gladly made an appointment for Heather that worked around our schedule. Heather could hardly wait! What’s so unusual about this you might ask? It’s because on July 10, Melissa made a special trip to the salon especially to cut the birthday girl’s hair, having no other appointments scheduled and having no clue Heather was any different than any other woman. Heather is a total delight and loved by all who meet her. She was born with a genetic disorder called Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) – a rare, multi-system genetic disease that causes benign tumors to grow in the brain and on other vital organs such as the kidneys, heart, eyes, lungs, and skin. Heather’s family was told she would be completely developmentally disabled, and would never be potty trained, talk, ride a bike, or do any of the things normal children do. She has certainly proved the doctors wrong. She is active with the Center for Disabilities, doing a karaoke performance solo each year. She loves country music but cannot read so she memorizes her songs. She loves to draw

pictures and give them to people. She enjoys dances, bowling, cooking and craft classes as well as being very active with participating in The Special Olympics. This year she came home with gold and silver medals for bowling and basketball individual skills competitions. Many TSC patients show evidence of the disorder in the first year of life. However, clinical features can be subtle initially, and many signs and symptoms take years to develop and can skip generations. As a result, TSC can be unrecognized or misdiagnosed for years. TSC is a genetic disorder that causes non-malignant tumors to form in many different organs, primarily in the brain, eyes, heart, kidney, skin and lungs. The aspects of TSC that most strongly impact quality of life are generally associated with the brain: seizures, developmental delay, intellectual disability and autism. The growth of tumors resulting from TSC is not as severely unregulated as in cancer, but these tumors may still cause serious problems. Tumors that grow in the brain can block the flow of cerebral spinal fluid in the spaces (ventricles) in the brain. In the heart, tumors are usually at their largest at birth and then decrease in size as the individual gets older. The tumors in the eyes are not as common, but can present problems if they grow and block too much of the retina. The tumors in the kidney (renal angiomyolipomas) can become so large they

present to learn more about breastfeeding, participate in games and win great prizes. Schlarman pointed out children that are primarily fed breast milk have a higher IQ and greater immunity to different types of illness. Although the Center for Disease Control recommends breastfeeding for the ﬁrst year of life, Schlarman said any amount of time would be helpful to the child. A lot of moms will breastfeed until they go back to work. The important thing is to get colostrum into the baby’s system. Colostrum carries antibodies that protect newborns from disease. Breast milk will also change as the baby’s needs change. While the health of the baby is a top priority,

eventually disrupt normal kidney function or begin to bleed internally. Both of Heather’s kidneys have been affected dramatically by this disorder and are at 50 percent combined function. The kidneys are covered with so many angiomyolipomas that there is no visible healthy tissue to be seen on CT and MRI scans. Heather nearly died in 2010 when she had to endure two surgeries on her kidneys. After the visit was over, Heather was beaming with pride at her new doo! I asked, “Heather, do you like your hair,” to which she replied, “Yes!” I told her when someone has been given a service

they are happy with, they should show it by “tipping” that person with extra money. Quickly she dug through her purse and generously produced two $1 bills and handed them to Melissa and hugged her tightly. Melissa had tears in her eyes. On the way out I gave Melissa a hug and told her not to spend the two bucks all in one place and she replied it might only be two bucks to you, but it means a million to me. Watch the video from 2010 “Tell me a Story”, Heather’s story of Success. A more detailed story and the video can be found at www.bluebagmedia.com.

WIC event touts breastfeeding benefits GREENVILLE – It’s proven over and over that breastfeeding has many more benefits than giving your infant formula. That is why Darke County Women and Infant Children (WIC) has hosted a special event for the past three years during National Breastfeeding Awareness Month encouraging moms and moms-to-be to consider giving their children the best start in life. The event was held Aug. 5 at South Park in Greenville. According to Deanna Schlarman, director of the local WIC office, invitations were sent to over 100 pregnant women and breastfeeding moms. Twenty-two women were

Moms and moms-to-be were invited to learn more about breastfeeding at an event organized by Darke County WIC and sponsored by CareSource.

breastfeeding also has an additional beneﬁt – it is cost effective. Families can save $2,000-$3,000 a year by choosing to breastfeed. This year’s event was sponsored by CareSource and Buckeye Health Plan, both are Medicaid providers. Additional support was received from Attitudes on Fourth, Bread of Life, Greenville Rescue,

KitchenAid, KT Plum, Mae’s Beauty Salon, MaidRite Sandwich Shoppe, Marco’s, Massage on Main, Medicine and More, Merle Norman, Pamela’s Intimates, Tangles, Teafords, and We Knead U Massage. More information in WIC and the services the organization offers are available by calling 5471776.

Beneﬁt Bike Run for Craig Byrd planned

Greenville man dies in weekend rollover crash DARKE COUNTY – Mills Road was shut down Saturday night while emergency crews investigate a fatal crash just before 10 p.m. Preliminary investigation showed a 2004 Ford truck was west bound on Mills Road. The truck went off the right side of the road striking a utility pole then a fence. The vehicle then overturned coming to rest on its top. One occupant in the vehicle identified as Samuel J. Barga, 19, of Greenville was ejected from the vehicle and succumbed to his injuries at the scene. A second occupant in the vehicle fled the scene on foot. The Darke County Sheriff’s Office K9 was called to the scene and an intensive search was performed to try and locate the second occupant but was unsuccessful.

ON YOUR MIND

Commissioner’s Corner From wet and cool to hot and humid, July has certainly been a mixed bag of weather. The first half of the month was a continuation of June with rain and cool temperatures almost daily, and now the last week or so, it has been more like a Darke County July, hot and humid. It really is time for us to start getting summertime weather here, so I guess we can’t complain too much, except for all the rain. July was not a good month for folks in the northern and western part of the county. These areas received 5 to 7 inches of rain the evening of July 13, and many residents sustained a lot of damage to their homes and property. Mindy Saylor, the Darke County EMA director and Josh Haney, her assistant, spent many hours trying to help people by assessing the damage, and working with FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) to try and get some help and get Darke County some federal money. Unfortunately, we fell far short of FEMA requirements for federal assistance. Thanks to Mindy and Josh and all of our emergency personnel who selflessly gave help to their neighbors and friends on that evening. The Darke County Courthouse, and the County Commissioners office suffered some water in their basements, but thanks to Marty Munchel and our maintenance crew, they took care of it very quickly. Thanks to those hard-working gentlemen! In other happenings in the County, The Darke County airport is seeing some interest from people who want to make our airport their home base. The airport has received some needed upgrades, too, with a new card reader for fuel, and we are in the process of having the fuel tanks inspected and cleaned. We hope to announce some more changes in the near future. The Commissioners office has been fairly quiet, but we have been working on projects and waiting to make announcements as soon as we get things wrapped up, and signed. On July 24, the Darke County CIC and Partnering 4 Progress held their summer meeting and golf

outing at Stillwater Golf Course. The meeting was well attended with about 60 people showing up for the meeting and 28 people playing golf. Marc Saluk, the E.D. director, made a very good presentation reminding us how far we have come and how well we have done compared to other counties in the State. Marc made the point that we are very fortunate and should be thankful for what we have accomplished. Lisa Wendel, the Career Pathway Coordinator, gave a really good presentation on our vision for the future. This included mentorships, company visits by students and School leaders, Job shadowing, and another manufacturing day in October. This program is one of the most advanced in the State, and although it is still in its infancy, this program is starting to bear fruit. Congratulations to Marc, Lisa and Melanie Nealeigh, the office manager, for making our E.D. office the best in the State! On personal notes, Commissioner Diane Delaplane has decided not to run for another term next year. This was a hard decision for her, but as she said, it was time. Diane has been our social coordinator, and always remembers birthdays, and represents Darke County in a positive light all the time. Diane has one more year before her term is up, so she still has a lot of work to do. Our whole office wishes her well in the future. On July 29, Commissioner Mike Rhoades and his wife Linda celebrated their 43rd wedding anniversary. Congratulations to two fine people. One thing is certain, Linda is certainly heaven bound and slated for sainthood for sure! August is upon us and with that comes hot weather and the Great Darke County Fair! As the summer begins to wind down, won’t you come to a Commissioner’s meeting? We meet every Monday and Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. in the Commissioner’s office located at 520 South Broadway in downtown Greenville, just south of the Courthouse. Hope to see you there!! The Darke County Commissioners

The skills for success Grumpy Side of 60

by Bob Robinson Associate Editor bluebagmedia.com

“Mr. Robinson! Mr. Robinson!” It was a small voice… couldn’t tell where it was coming from because of the crowd. Annie Oakley Parade (sure am glad it’s back). I looked around and there he was, waving. I grinned. He came up for a hug. Mom had a smile on her face. “He’s one of my best buddies,” I said to her. “You are one of his best buddies,” she responded. “Actually, you seem to be a best buddy to a lot of these kids,” she added. “Except when he gets grumpy,” piped up the little voice. “Have I ever gotten grumpy with you?” He shook his head, grinning. “But I have in your class, right?” He nodded. “Keep up the good work then, buddy,” I said, giving him a high-ﬁve. “Keep helping

they reach the Grumpy Side of 60 – say something like… “I don’t recognize this world any longer.” I’m one of them. Especially when it comes to social choices and life skills. That’s where my “learning” kicks in. I try to understand. At the same time I know in 50 years or so, these kids will be saying the same thing about the world they ﬁnd themselves in. I wonder if they understand that. Then there’s technology. Communication modes like LinkedIn and Pinterest (whatever they are), and twitter (I refuse to twit) are beyond me. Text messaging is destroying good writing skills. However, they are still forms of communication and the ability to communicate well is key to success today, just as it was in my time. The modality may change; its necessity doesn’t. When one of my little ones talks about “grumpy” or relates an activity from the day before – sometimes even telling a story that mom and dad would

to teach others.” It has been a great two weeks. I got to see some of my favorite little ones and have gotten to know several more with my tutoring. I enjoyed seeing some of my favorite Miss Annie Oakleys and Fair Royalty. These kids are having a ball and their enthusiasm and energy is contagious. I haven’t had a chance to talk to the new royal couple yet, but I loved it when the just crowned 2015 King attributed his win (at least in part) to the communications class he took (yup… it was mine). So far my classes have boasted three fair royalty, two Miss Annie’s, high school royalty, cheerleaders and standout athletes. At the same time, academics is the priority; my grade book is always cluttered with A’s and B’s. These kids – and the majority of my other Edison students – are bright, hard working (mostly) and high achievers. They get full credit for their successes… I have little to do with it. Most members of each generation – usually when

prefer not be told – I always listen and let the child know what he or she has to say is important. And I ask questions… sometimes I tease. The child is learning to communicate. When I see my older students I ask if they are having a good summer… sometimes I just get a “yeah” as they walk on, but other times we get into conversations. They are communicating. I enjoy it, even if it’s at the library, they’re only getting videos to check out and I have to grump at them about reading. At the college level most are ready for the ﬁner points of communication… sending, receiving and feedback. It requires respect for learning and human differences, accepting the opinions of others (even if they don’t agree), the ability to think critically, and appreciating both the facts of an action and its possible consequences. These are necessary skills in today’s workplace. They are necessary in achieving educational goals… And most have told me they are good skills for their daily lives.

Joy FM donated to Indiana radio station UNION CITY, Ind. – Christian radio in East Central Indiana will continue stronger than ever, thanks to an agreement announced between Positive Alternative Radio and STAR Educational Media Network. PAR is donating its station, WJYW, known on the air as “Joy FM” to STAR, along with two translators in the Richmond, Indiana area. STAR and PAR signed legal documents July 29 for an effective date of Aug. 15, pursuant to transferring ownership of the stations, pending approval of the Federal Communications Commission. “This donation is an expression of how much PAR values local Christian radio,” said Edward Baker, President of PAR. “We wanted to strengthen a local broadcaster and help their ministry to become even more effective.” PAR operates stations and networks including those

based in Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina and Kentucky. WJYW was the furthest from its home ofﬁce in Blacksburg, VA. To further its mission, the decision was made to donate WJYW to a local broadcaster versus making it part of a network, according to Brian Sanders, PAR’s Executive Vice President. “We could have easily cut costs by eliminating our local presence and feeding this Indiana station from Virginia or Tennessee,” Sanders explained. “But we believe in local Christian radio and wanted to put WJYW in the hands of someone in the region who can continue making a difference in listener’s lives.” STAR Educational Media Network operates STAR 88.3 in Ft. Wayne, which feeds other full power stations and translators to cover most of Northeast Indiana, Northwest Ohio and Southern Michigan. According to

STAR’s President and CEO Melissa Montana, “WJYW is a good ﬁt for our operation.” “We are so excited by this generous donation,” she added. “This helps us extend our reach further south, empowering our ministry to encourage more believers and share the Gospel with more people.” STAR 88.3 and WJYW play a lot of the same Contemporary Christian Music, Sanders and Montana noted, so most listeners will not sense an abrupt change when the LMA and subsequent transfer are enacted. “You will hear almost all of your favorites, and a few new songs, too. Plus, we want to build a deep connection with the local community, reaching out to churches, ministries and Christian---owned businesses to help make the area we’re serving an even better place to live,” Montana said.

MOTE – Alberta Jane (Strickland) Mote, 60, of Union City, Ind., died August 4, 2015. A Celebration of Life service was held Saturday, Aug. 8, 2015 at Lighthouse Christian Center, Greenville.

Sarah Bevins remembered in annual softball tournament BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

ARCANUM – The 5th Annual Sarah Bevins AllStar Tournament was held this past weekend in Arcanum. Twenty all-star softball teams took part in this year’s tournament. In addition to the area 8U, 10U, 12U and 14U all-stars, two teams made the trip all the way from Follansbee, West Virginia to take part in the tournament. The tournament is held in memory of 5-year-old Sarah Bevins who tragically lost her young life in a car crash on her way to school at Tri-Village in 2010. After losing their daughter, parents Tim and Pam Bevins got together with Jeff Runkel to begin the memorial tournament… since playing summer softball was something that young Sarah really loved. “We really appreciate everybody that takes part in organizing the tournament each year,” Tim Bevins told The Early Bird. “Sarah would have loved to watch all these talented girls and great games!” Money raised from the

Color Run & Health Fair

VERSAILLES – The Versailles FFA Ofﬁcers and the Healthy Lifestyle Committee will be sponsoring a Color Run and Health Fair on Oct. 17. The Color Run will start at 9 a.m. and the heath fair will run from 8 a.m. to noon. The race will start at the Versailles Board of Education parking lot and the health fair will be located inside the gym of the Versailles Board of Education (home of the old high school).

annual event is used to fund scholarships for two Tri-Village graduates that are selected by the Bevins family. According to tournament director Jeff Runkel, the tournament has grown tremendously. The prior scholarship amount of $500 has risen to $5,000 this year. “As director, its a wonderful feeling to be able to help the Bevins family in honoring Sarah… while giving back to the community,” Runkel added. The tournament moved from Hollansburg where it originally was played to Arcanum in 2014 after a bad storm ﬂooded the diamonds. Runkel says that Jeff Mote reached out following the storm to offer to have the Arcanum diamonds ready in an hour so the tournament could go on. “We had a very successful weekend (in 2014), and it was decided that we would have the tournament again this year in Arcanum so we could accommodate a larger number of teams,” Runkel noted. “I have to give a special thanks to Jeff Mote, Shane Toy, Vince Monin and of course the Arcanum Summer Rec for allowing us to have the Bevins Tournament at their facility two years in a row.” In the 14U bracket the Arcanum Lady Trojans put the cherry on top of their perfect 14-0 season with a top place tournament win. Greenville run ruled the competition as they took the 12U top trophy. Arcanum 10U topped Greenville for 1st place while the Greenville 8U team were also runners up as the Carlisle Lady Indians took the victory.

ARCANUM – The Arcanum Trojans held their ﬁrst football practice of the 2015 season Monday with Coach TJ Powers back at the helm to lead an experienced Trojans team onto the Friday night ﬁelds. “It was like Christmas morning this morning,” said Powers. “Waking up, getting ready to go and getting it going.” With 42 players on the 2015 squad, the Trojans enter the season with the largest number of athletes on the squad the school has experienced in many years. “It’s been a long time since we have had this many at Arcanum,” Powers said. “We are at 42 right now. Hopefully we will get through all of two a day camp with 42… I think we will.” “We have a good group of kids right now,” continued Powers. “The biggest thing as a football program is to build on it, just coach your tails off and showing the players how much you care about them because

you do… and I do I care immensely about these guys.” “They are really buying into what we are preaching and what we are doing,” added Powers. “That’s three quarters of the battle right there.” Arcanum has nine experienced returning starters on both sides of the line suiting up for the 2015 season. “We have a really strong group of leaders, a lot of these seniors,” Powers said. “Five of them have been playing since they were freshmen. We have nine starters back on both sides of the ball so we ﬁnally got some experience and we are looking forward to it.” Daniel O’Donnell returns for his third season taking snaps as the starting quarterback for Trojans. “Three year starter,” Powers said of his starting quarterback. “We do have an experienced quarterback, but the biggest thing is experience up front too. We have a good core group of offensive and defensive lineman back.” Seven assistant-coaches make up the staff Powers

has assembled making a total staff of eight experienced coaches. “I have three volunteer coaches,” Powers stated. “We split some contracts so we could have enough coaching. One of my goals over the years is try to maximize our coaching staff experience and knowledge. We brought coach Hottle out of retirement. I have asked him every year for the past nine years… so he ﬁnally took the bait this year. Coach Steve Hottle will be helping coach both the Trojans offensive and defensive lines.

Ohio Wave softball ﬁnishes 5th in North American World Series BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

COLUMBUS – The Ohio Wave 12U fastpitch softball team placed 5th out of 112 teams at the North American World Series in Columbus last week. The select all-star fastpitch team is made up of 11 girls from Arcanum, Englewood, Greenville, New Madison, Union City and Lynn, Ind. They were knocked out Sunday in the fourth round of the tournament by the New York Diamond Girls who went on to win the championship. The North American World Series (NAWS) consisted of some of the best young players from Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York. “This group of girls are ﬁghters,” said head coach Misti Werner. “They

played their hearts out in four back-to-back games at the World Series and never gave up!” In addition to the NAWS, the Ohio Wave 12U girls successfully competed in several tournaments throughout the summer season. They played in Beavercreek, Fairborn, Dayton, Vandalia, Troy and Greenville, taking 1st place twice, 2nd place four times and ﬁnished 4th at the Gem City Tournament. “They are just an outstanding group of young ladies and I am very proud of them all,” Coach Werner added. Helping Coach Werner with the team this season were assistant coaches Travis Gilbert and Tiffany Enicks. See the NAWS bracket which shows how the Ohio Wave team advanced here.

“He’s been trying for seven-eight years,” said Hottle. “I’ve been out of it for a while and he just really convinced me he needed my help this year. I told him I would give it a shot… I would get out of mothballs and give it a go.” “It’s fun to get back at it after being out for such a long while,” continued Hottle. “I’m really enjoying it and I love the kids.

Ansonia hosts youth all-star baseball tournament BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

ANSONIA – A Friday night downpour delayed the start of an already weather related delayed start to a scheduled threeday Ansonia Youth League All-Star Tournament. “Normally we have it the weekend after the fourth every year, but it got rained out,” said co-tournament director Jason Kelch. The Friday night postponement did not prevent the tournament’s completion as local parents and staff worked late into Friday night preparing the ﬁelds for a Saturday morning start. “It was a disaster,” said co-tournament director Nicole Taylor. “We were out here until about midnight Friday to get this in.” The tournament included six 8U teams and six 10U teams from the surrounding area and as far

away as Dayton. Minster defeated Greenville 16-14 in the championship game of the 8U division while Ft. Recovery was winning the 10U division 9-6 over Greenville. Kelch and Taylor thanked all the parents and staff that helped to get the fields playable for Saturday and Sunday. “We want to thank the city for the use of the park and the people that helped out Friday night working the fields… all the staff,” Kelch said. Proceeds from the weekend tournament will be used to for the Ansonia Youth League. “We are putting the proceeds back into the Ansonia Youth League to better the program for our kids,” stated Taylor. “Better equipment… better fields,” added Kelch. “It was a very successful weekend even with the rain we had Friday night,” said Kelch.

GREENVILLE – The Greenville boys soccer team held their first practice of the 2015 season Monday, Aug. 3 with a good turnout of athletes. “The 2015 season looks really well,” said Greenville boys soccer coach Brent DeVoss. “We have a schedule that is going to be real favorable for us. Lot of good matchups for us where in the past we have always been overwhelmed with high end teams.” “There is going to be a lot of good quality out there but we are going to be matched more with D-II teams,” added DeVoss. “We won’t be seeing as many D-I teams. Randy (Swisher) did a real nice job of getting those teams on the schedule for us so we will have some fair competition this year. It should play to our favor if we work hard.” Greenville looks to improve on the 2014 season with a year of experience on the field for many of the young players. “The younger kids are growing up real fast… trial by fire,” DeVoss said. “They came out as freshmen, had to play at a varsity level. They have kind of walked the walk, have been through the ringer and now they are juniors so maybe what they have learned over the last two years they can turn around and put some on these other teams.”

Coach DeVoss will be looking to returning players for leadership including junior AJ Frens, a 2014 First Team GWOC and First Team All-District player from the 2014 Green Wave soccer team. Jack Garland returns for the Wave having received Second Team GWOC honors as well as Second Team All-District. Jordan Ernst, a senior returns to the

Wave and is expected to bring added leadership to the squad. “All captains are returning,” said DeVoss.” AJ… ﬁrst team GWOC, First team All-District… so won both of those awards. Jack Garland was second team All-District and second team GWOC so we have some experience out there, some good leadership.” “Jordan Ernst is go-

ing to be a senior this year so we are looking for big things from him,” continued DeVoss. “He came on late and really anchored our defense towards the end of the year. We’re really looking forward to Jordan to lock down that defense this year and give us a chance. If our defense can get us in the game and keep us there I think we’re going to be ﬁne.”

I expect a lot of things out of them.” “We have a lot of returning seniors, a lot of new kids out that are upper classmen that are athletic and have played other sports,” added Shepard. “We actually have a challenge for a varsity roster this year.” A tough schedule awaits the opening of the season for the Lady Wave but Shepard expects the team

Unfortunately they couldn’t put a team together so we are going to be playing Graham instead.” “We are going to start out a little rocky but after that… after we get some of these new players up to speed a little bit,” said

ARCANUM – The Greenville 12U All-Star team ended their 2015 summer season with a bang. The team ﬁnished with an impressive 17-2 record as they dominated the bracket at the 5th Annual Sarah Bevins All-Star Tournament last weekend in Arcanum. During the tournament, the girls run ruled each team during pool and bracket play, including the championship game on

Sunday against the Follansbee Lightning from West Virginia. Greenville recorded three tournament championships this season, including the Sarah Bevins tournament. They were named co-champs at the Rowe Rec All Star Extravaganza in Middletown and were victorious in a nailbiting win over Eaton at the Treaty City Shootout in Greenville. “We started off a little shaky this season, but we got into a groove after a couple games in,” Head

Coach Jason Williams told The Early Bird. “I couldn’t have asked for a better group of girls… made my job that much easier!” The Greenville 12U All-Star team members were Jaida Kelly, Caitlin Christman, Kiana Satterwhite, Haleigh Mayo, Brooklynn Bush, Grace Shaffer, Karigan Denham, Winifred Stiefel, Kierah Beavins, Shyanne Slade and Susie Blocher. The coaches were Alishia Funk, Jason Williams, Jason Christman and Fred Slade.

No Secrets to Investment Success

Many people look for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;secretsâ&#x20AC;? to investment success. Is it timing the market just right? Is it ďŹ nding those hot stocks or getting in on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ground ďŹ&#x201A;oorâ&#x20AC;? of the next big thing? Actually, these types of moves have little relevance to the vast majority of investors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even the most successful ones. So letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take a look at some steps you can take that can be effective in helping you work toward your ďŹ nancial goals. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time in the marketâ&#x20AC;Śnot market timing. Some investors think they can succeed at â&#x20AC;&#x153;market timingâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; buying when the price is low and selling when the price is high. And this would indeed be a good strategy if they could predict highs and lows. No one can accurately forecast these peaks and valleys, though. So, instead of ducking in and out of the market in a vain attempt to catch the highs and lows, simply stay invested. The more time you spend in the market, the lesser the impact youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to feel from short-term price swings. And if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always invested, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll always be in a position to beneďŹ t from the next market rally. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;buy and holdâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not â&#x20AC;&#x153;buy and sell.â&#x20AC;? Even if you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trying to time the market, you may be tempted to buy and sell frequently as you look for new and better opportunities. Yet, this constant buying and selling can be costly. Frequent trading, with all the additions and subtractions from your portfolio, can make it hard for you to follow a consistent, uniďŹ ed investment strategy. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re better off purchasing quality investments and holding them for the long term, until either your needs change or the

investments themselves no longer possess the same attributes they did when you purchased them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building a strong foundation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not getting in on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ground ďŹ&#x201A;oor.â&#x20AC;? Many people regret not being one of the initial investors of a company that has done spectacularly well. But most new companies donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t achieve anywhere near that level of success. So, instead of looking for the next big thing on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ground ďŹ&#x201A;oor,â&#x20AC;? try to build a strong â&#x20AC;&#x153;foundationâ&#x20AC;? consisting of a mix of quality investments suitable for your risk tolerance, goals and time horizon. This type of investing may not sound glamorous, but a strong foundation is better equipped than a possibly shaky ground ďŹ&#x201A;oor to withstand the shifting winds of market forces. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cool-headed thinking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not chasing â&#x20AC;&#x153;hot stocksâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; If you browse the internet or watch one of the investment shows on cable television, you are bound to read or hear about â&#x20AC;&#x153;hotâ&#x20AC;? stocks. But by the time the news reaches you, these stocks may already be cooling off. Even more importantly, they might not be right for your needs in the ďŹ rst place. Instead of chasing after hot stocks, which, by their nature, carry a strong emotional component (namely, the desire for quick, big gains), try to coolly and dispassionately analyze your situation to determine which investments are really most appropriate for your goals. There really arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any shortcuts to reaching your desired ďŹ nancial destination. But by taking the slow and steady path, you can work toward getting there.

Take a selfie to win EATON – The Preble County Pork Festival (PCPF), in conjunction with the Preble County Art Association (PCAA), want you to find the hidden pig located throughout the county. For four weeks beginning Aug. 1, a small painted pig will be hidden at a local business within Preble County. Clues will be given on Pork Festival and Preble County Fine Art Center (PCAA) Facebook pages each Friday as to the little pig’s whereabouts. The object of the contest is to get a selfie with the pig and post it on either Facebook page for a chance to win Smorgasbord tickets at the Preble County Pork Festival to be held September 19th and 20th. One winner will be chosen for each week and announced on Facebook the following Friday. A new location with clues will be selected each week. Remember, when you find the pig, don’t tell the location! Let’s see how many can find the pigs, and don’t forget to like both organizations and share your selfie on Facebook.

Annual BCA 5K held in Greenville GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

Terry Mullins and Jeff Harter are pleased to announce American Rental will open its ﬁrst Ohio location in Greenville.

American Rental set to open in September RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – North Towne Plaza on Wagner Avenue, Greenville, has a new tenant. American Rental will soon open in the shopping center. The sign is in place and work has begun on the inside, but area residents will have to wait about a month before the business opens its doors to the public. Terry Mullins, franchise licensee owner, is excited to open the company’s ﬁrst store in Ohio. Overall, American Rental has 50 stores throughout Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee with most being in rural markets like Greenville. The company is headquartered in Bloomington, Ind. Mullins noted the business has basically expanded from north to south and now they are looking to spread from east and west. American Rental is a family owned business, having started as an appliance store called Full-o-

Pep. The business gradually expanded to a rent-to-purchase store and changed its name to American Rental. Mullins believes the family-owned aspect of the business is what sets it apart from other rentto-own stores. They treat their employees and customers like family. He also pointed out they offer 180 days same as cash, have better products and a better price. American Rental offers furniture, appliances, electronics, bedding, cell phones and more. Before the local store opens, they will complete the interior and start bringing in merchandise around the middle of August. They will also be hiring and training the new staff at the same time. The store is expected to open at the beginning of September. For more information on American Rental, visit shopamericantrental.com. Employment applications are available in person or online. Jeff Hunter will serve as the store manager.

GREENVILLE – The Breast Cancer Awareness 5K race in downtown Greenville Saturday morning had a total of 340 participants including 241 females and 99 males with an average time of 39:30. Calen Bruner a 2104 Greenville graduate and track standout had an overall best time of 16:48.7; 2:53.6 better than second place ﬁnisher Jaime Garrett’s time of 19:42.3, also a Green Wave graduate. “It’s a lot of training,”

said Bruner of his large margin of victory. “I run in college. We do 50 miles a week which is a lot more than high school.” Bruner runs Cross Country and Track for Anderson University in Anderson, IN. “I have a pretty good advantage because of the running I have to do for college,” added Bruner. “I’m sure if they all did it they would be a lot closer.” Bruner gives credit to his high school coaches while running Cross Country and Track for the Green Wave.

UCOPD gets wet to give back CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY, Ohio – During the 2015 Heritage Days last week the community had the opportunity to soak some of Union City’s finest. The Union City Ohio Police Department set up a dunk tank during the annual event which went to help raise money for the local community. This was the first year for the event which the department named ‘Dunk A Donut’. The dunk booth was set up on Friday at the Union City Ohio Police Department during the Union City Ohio Fire Department Farm Show on Friday and again on Saturday during the Union City Ohio Fire Department Car Show. People were given three balls for just a buck. Each officer, and even the Chief, donated their time throughout the weekend

to sit on the tank and let the community attempt to send them for a plunge. UCOPD was able to collect just under $200 during the event. According to the department, the money received will be used to fund different community relations events such as Trick or Treat. Due to the UCOPD’s tight budget, the department thought it would be a good idea to do an event that would raise money and make it possible to give back to their community. In the past, the department was able to pass out little sticker badges, coloring books, safety toys and other items during Heritage Days. Due to the unfortunate budget constraints at the department, the funding is no longer available for this activity. In a statement to The Early Bird, the Union City Police Department wants the community to know how much the ofﬁcer regret

DC Foundation awards scholarships GREENVILLE – The Darke County Foundation recently awarded over $120,000 in college scholarships to 93 students who graduated from Darke County high schools. Money for the scholarships came from Foundation funds that have been established by individuals, families and businesses that are dedicated to supporting Darke County students.

Many of the funds are endowed, allowing donors to create a legacy in honor of a family member or a special purpose. Invested long-term, these funds generate income that provides scholarship dollars every year in perpetuity. Since the Foundation started in 1986, over $1.4 million has been awarded to Darke County students. For information on establishing a fund for a scholarship

BPW gets lesson on Clothes GREENVILLE – Stephanie Llacuna, Development Manager for Clothes That Work was the guest speaker at the Greenville Business & Professional Women’s Club (BPW) at its monthly meeting on June 11, at the Brethren Retirement Center, Greenville. The meeting was hosted by the recently elected club ofﬁcers: President Deb Smith, Vice President Brenda Miller, Secretary Jane Carroll, Treasurer Dorothy Poeppelman, and Assistant Treasurer Susan Fowble. Clothes That Work was formed in 1998 according to Ms. Llacuna. Their intent is to provide interview and work appropriate clothing for women transitioning from

public assistance to employment. Job seekers are referred to them by a network of 36 community partners and are provided one-on-one appointments with a volunteer personal coach that assists them through the process of selecting interview appropriate clothing and offer guidance on how to make a good impression. All clothes are donated. The Greenville BPW club collected clothing to donate to the agency. Stephanie stated they also offer educational training programs to teach those looking for a job and to maintain a job. They hold fundraisers during the year and accept donations to sustain the program. They are located in Dayton. They can be

Wenig earns Lead the Way scholarship VERSAILLES – Versailles High School senior Hannah Wenig has earned a $1,000 scholarship for her creative approach to encouraging classmates to donate blood in the annual Community Blood Center/Vectren Lead the Way Creative Scholarship competition. Hannah is among ﬁve 2015 Lead the Way Scholarship winners from high schools in Montgomery, Shelby, and Darke County. Also awarded $1,000 for college tuition assistance are: Marcus Jordan from Trotwood-Madison High School; Ashley Keller from Lehman Catholic High School in Sidney; Kyle Szwajkos from Christian Academy Schools in Sidney; and Eric Wathen from Miami Valley Career Technology Center in Englewood. Applicants were challenged to create a campaign theme for a high school blood drive. The scholarship winners found inspiration in favorite games or movies, challenges at school, and national news

headlines. They expressed their ideas in clever campaign slogans, and designed t-shirts, brochures, posters or a video as recruitment tools. Hannah Wenig lives in Versailles. She was inspired by the popular board game “Monopoly” to create a clever “get out of jail card” theme for blood drive posters and hall passes “Motivating students to give blood at their high school blood drive can sometimes be a tricky task,” she said. “A clever, student-focused campaign slogan is needed to grab a young person’s attention.” “I took the idea of the ‘get out of jail free’ card and altered it into a card

that gets students ‘out of class’ for free instead,” she said. Even if a student only participates to get out of class, the purpose is reached as up to three lives may be saved in the process. It is important to know the impact blood contribution has on society, and this knowledge may spur students to continue donating in the future.” Hannah said she wants to study nursing at Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion, Ind. “because of my compassion for others. I am interested in neonatal nursing and would love to work with babies.” 2015 Lead the Way scholarship applicant videos and samples of winning artwork will be available at: www. GivingBlood.org/ giving-back/reward. The Lead the Way Creative Scholarship for High School Seniors is made possible by a $5,000 grant from Vectren. It is open to all graduating, college-bound seniors in CBC’s 15-county region whose high school hosts a CBC blood drive.
