THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF THE GREAT DARKE COUNTY FAIR!

Buchy inducted into Ohio Agricultural Hall of Fame GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

COLUMBUS – Greenville resident and Former Ohio Representative Jim Buchy was inducted into the Ohio Agricultural Hall of Fame August 4th at the Ohio Expo Center on the grounds of the Ohio State Fair. “It’s the pinnacle of my public career,” said Buchy, “With my background in agriculture, I can’t tell you what this means to me.” “Jim richly deserves this honor not just for his service in the legislature where he was one of the go to guys.” United States Senator Rob Portman (OH) told the Early Bird. “When I wanted to get something accomplished – you go to Jim.” “Jim was in my leadership team,” said William G. Batchelder III, the 101st Speaker of the Ohio House. “We used him a lot in agriculture. He’s special; genuinely.” “We go back to 1978

through Bob Netzley,” Buchy said of Batchelder. “My three political mentors were Bob Netzley, Bill Batchelder and Joan Davidson.” “This is huge for Jim,” said Ohio Representative Keith Faber. “He is much deserving of this award.” “Jim has been my mentor as a legislator and I give him credit for a lot of my success,” continued Faber. “More importantly it’s his undying commitment to production agriculture in West Central Ohio; that alone entitles Jim to be in the Hall of Fame – it makes him a ‘Super Star’ in the Hall of Fame.” “Jim has always been a standard for Darke County and supporting agriculture,” said Darke County Commissioner Matt Aultman. “Jim getting inaugurated into the Hall of Fame is just kind of the pinnacle of his life. Buchy served 24 years in the Ohio House, serving on the Agriculture and Natural Resources

Committee and later as an assistant director in the Ohio Department of Agriculture. Jim assisted other legislators in understanding agriculture, worked to create a favorable business environment in the state, protected the environment; all while pushing the agricultural industry for continual improvement and growth. Buchy’s work also invested in the youth of Ohio through legislation that brought 4-H and FFA programs to students in urban areas. “Jim goes to urban centers and works through the schools with kids that don’t know how to spell urban education,” said Batchelder. “It’s amazing what he is doing. He’s up in Cleveland, he’s down in Cincinnati and he is working so that we can get some more young people into agriculture.” Buchy grew up in Greenville working in and later owning his family’s meat packing plant as the

fourth generation. “In West Central Ohio, Darke County, Mercer, Shelby, Auglaize, it starts with families, faith and freedom because our families are the hardest working,” said Buchy. “We have the highest percentage of nuclear families where mom and dad

are married, living under the same roof, raising their children, paying attention, going to church on Sunday and proﬁting from agriculture and then passing that as a legacy to future generations so that we not only understand the importance of the wholesomeness and the

goodness of the food that we produce, but along the way with 4-H and FFA and faith, we pass on the legacy that was given to us in 1776. That’s how we are going to keep freedom.” Read more about Buchy’s Hall of Fame induction at www.bluebagmedia.com.

DARKE COUNTY – Commissioners on Wednesday, Aug. 9, approved a letter of recommendation from the Darke County Airport project facilitator Stantec concerning runway renovations to be completed during 2018. Stantec is requesting commission accept a bid from Sunesis Construction Company for the two part

renovation project, which will include a runway extension, west end turn around for jet aircraft and new LED lighting. The bid for both part A and part B of the 2018 project totals $1,787.746.88. The contract with Sunesis will be made contingent upon receipt of a $1.9 million FAA grant, which is due to be awarded to the county. Commission also approved an amendment with Stantec concerning the electrical permit required to complete work at the county airport, as

requested by the FAA. The amendment includes a ﬁxed fee of $618 for the electrical permit as well as an increase in the fee for the Airport Geographical Information System survey from $66,000 to $75,250. The amendment approves the increase for all services for the project from an estimated $311,425 to an estimated $321,293. Also Wednesday, commissioners awarded Western Ohio Asphalt Sealing of Versailles a bid to perform

crack and seal work on the Wagner Avenue and courthouse parking areas. Two companies responded to bid requests for the crack and seal work, with Western’s bid totaling $10,081 for both projects. Commissioner Mike Rhoades mentioned the Wagner Avenue and courthouse parking areas had been paved two years ago and the crack/seal process was due at both locations. Commission will bid the striping of both lots at a later date.

suggested seeing a dermatologist in Troy. She ﬁrst thought it was her heart medication that caused the problem, but subsequently learned that it was one medication she was taking for insulin as she is diabetic. “I liked it,” she said. “It makes your body use your own insulin but for some reason my body didn’t want it. They took me off of it immediately and I started getting better.” “The only thing to do to ease the pain is to get in a cool shower and blot it dry because I couldn’t rub it,” she said. “I took steroids, which conﬂicts with diabetes and they took me off them. It was inside my mouth, in my nose and in my female area. There was not a place on me that I didn’t have it. Every part of me hurt,” she said. She couldn’t even stand to put clothes on. “And the smell, oh my God,” she said. “They did everything

they could do for me. They decided there was no miracle cure for me.” She has been told SJS never really goes away. “I am supposed to stay out of the sunlight,” she said. “If I get some on me, it breaks open in sores and starts to peel.” She said it took 13 or 14 weeks before she started feeling better. “On the 11th week, I went to one of my grandsons’ ballgames,” Curry said.” I can’t believe how miserable I was just because of some medication. There is no way to avoid it. The doctor doesn’t know how it is going to be when he prescribes it. Many people died from it. It affects your breathing, the heart...everything.” She must be feeling lots better because she is getting all excited about the Pumpkin Show coming up in October.

Versailles unveils informational kiosk Medication caused Bradford woman’s SJS RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

VERSAILLES – The second of the three kiosks proposed by the Darke County Visitors Bureau are now in place. The Village of Versailles unveiled its kiosk this week that features information on the village on one side and information on Darke County on the other. Rodd Hale, village administrator for Versailles, said, “The Village of Versailles is happy to have joined with the Darke County Visitors Bureau to have a public friendly information kiosk that will provide visitors to the village with an easy to read map pointing out both local and county attractions.” Darke County Visitors Bureau Executive Director Matt Staugler added, “We sincerely appreciate the support we’ve re-

ceived from the Village of Versailles administration, council, street department, and the Versailles Area Chamber of Commerce from the very beginning of this project. The more access visitors have to information about experiences and businesses in our area, the more likely they are to stay longer and spend more money. We’re confident this will be one more tool for economic development in the village and Darke County.” The City of Greenville will be the third to receive an informational kiosk. Greenville City Council approved the installation in July and the kiosk will feature information about downtown Greenville and Darke County. Look for the kiosk outside the office of the Darke County Visitors Bureau and Main Street Greenville toward the end of summer. The first kiosk installed was Eldora Speedway prior to the King’s Royal.

CORRESPONDENT

BRADFORD – Glenna Marshall Curry is battling Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS). Hopefully, the worst part is over, but she will still be susceptible to bouts of it if she isn’t careful. What is SJS? It is a rare but serious problem. Most often, it’s a severe reaction to a medicine someone has taken. It causes skin to blister and peel off. It affects mucus membranes, too. Blisters also form inside the body, making it hard to eat, swallow, and even urinate. Her health woes began this past December. “I shed all of my skin,” she said. “My husband, Fred, swept skin off the ﬂoor four times a day. This is like the worst sunburn you can ever imagine. The ﬁrst couple of weeks, I just

cried. All I could do is lie on the couch and try to sleep. They gave me steroids to help some of the inﬂammation. As the skin was peeling off, I would just freeze.” Curry, who had been in the hospital for another procedure prior to having the skin fall off, said she was ﬁrst taken to Wayne HealthCare in December in Greenville where the diagnosis was announced, but had to be transferred to Miami Valley and into their burn unit. Her doctor

Greenville man revived after 8 doses of Narcan Drugs/Overdose

On Aug. 9 an ofďŹ cer was dispatched to the 100 block of Oxford Drive in reference to a possible overdose. When the ofďŹ cer arrived on scene, the complainant advised she found Shawn Bowles lying on the bathroom ďŹ&#x201A;oor and he was not breathing. The ofďŹ cer pulled Bowles into the hallway to begin treatment. Greenville Township Rescue arrived and administered eight doses of Narcan before Bowles became responsive. The complainant said she found a syringe laying between the subjectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legs when she found him. She turned the syringe over to ofďŹ cers, who also found a baggie with several Xanax pills and a clear capsule containing a brown liquid in Bowlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shorts. After being revived, Bowles refused further medical treatment. Since Bowles is on probation he does not qualify for the police departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immunity program. His probation ofďŹ cer was notiďŹ ed of this incident. A report was sent to the prosecutor for charges. On Aug. 1 an ofďŹ cer on patrol observed suspect Chad Elliott sitting slumped over and appearing to be intoxicated in a parking lot on Martin Street. The ofďŹ cer called for EMS to respond and checked Elliott for weapons. As Elliott rolled over, the ofďŹ cer saw a cigarette pack laying underneath him. The lid on the pack

was partly opened and upon investigation, the ofďŹ cer saw several pills and what appeared to be heroin caps inside. Another cigarette pack was found, similar to the ďŹ rst. The ofďŹ cer spoke with Elliott about his alleged drug use. Elliott told the ofďŹ cer the cigarette packs containing the drugs were not his and he was trying to stop using drugs. The drug items were taken and the suspected heroin was sent to the lab for analysis. Charges are pending lab results. Disorderly Conduct

On Aug. 8 an ofďŹ cer was dispatched to Papa Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pizza on the report of an unconscious female subject sitting in the parking lot. Upon arrival, the ofďŹ cer found Christina Starns sitting slouched over. The ofďŹ cer noted a beer can next to Starns. The ofďŹ cer had a previous encounter with Starns earlier in the day for a welfare check. At that time, the ofďŹ cer noted she was stumbling when walking and said it was due to medication she was taking for a leg condition. At Papa Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, the ofďŹ cer woke Starns and found she had slurred speech and smelled of an alcoholic beverage. The ofďŹ cer asked Starns to pour out the remaining beverage, which she admitted purchasing that day. Before pouring it out, Starts attempted to take another drink. The can was disposed of by the ofďŹ cer in the Dumpster located in

the parking lot. The ofďŹ cer cited Starns for open container and disorderly conduct and she was released into the custody of a friend. Driving under suspension

On Aug. 7 an ofďŹ cer made a trafďŹ c stop on Chestnut Street because the registered owner of the vehicle, Bryon Downey was known to be under a driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license suspension through June 2, 2018. The suspension was conďŹ rmed and Downey was issued a citation for driving under suspension. His vehicle was towed for possible immobilization because he is the registered owner. CPO violation

On Aug. 3, an ofďŹ cer was dispatched to the 100 block of West Main Street in reference to a violation of a civil protection order (CPO). The complainant reported sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d received numerous phone calls from Matthew Saintignon, who is incarcerated in the Darke County Jail. The complainant told the ofďŹ cer she currently has a CPO against Saintignon, which in in effect through Nov. 29. 2017. The ofďŹ cer went to the jail to speak with Saintignon, who said he was not aware of the CPO and said he would

not try to contact the victim again. He was cited for violating the CPO. Wanted Person

On Aug. 8 two ofďŹ cers were dispatched to a residence in the 500 block of East Fifth Street in reference to a person with an outstanding warrant from the Darke County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OfďŹ ce. When one ofďŹ cer was knocking on the front door, the second ofďŹ cer noticed the suspect, Steven Grill working on a car inside a garage. Grill was arrested in the garage for the outstanding warrants for failure to appear on two counts of child neglect with non-support. The bond for both warrants totaled $1,050.

Rhoadesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fair book collection in 60th year BY LINDA MOODY CORRESPONDENT lmoody@earlybirdpaper.com

FORT RECOVERY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Because of his love for the Great Darke County Fair, Carlton Rhoades is still collecting the Darke County Fair premium books printed annually dating back 60 years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I have all but two of them in my possession,â&#x20AC;? said the Fort Recovery man who has ties to Darke County as he was born there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe, those are of 1954 and 1957, but I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say for sure.â&#x20AC;? His collection started in the late 1950s. The self-proclaimed pack rat not only collects premium books but other items as well, including Ohio State University, Greenville and Darke County items at various sales and auctions. Of course, he plans to once again attend the Great Darke County Fair this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love harness racing,â&#x20AC;? said Rhoades, who plans to attend the festival with his wife, Mary, and their son, Kevin, who will be coming over from Columbus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I plan to go everyday for the harness racing and for

the hog shows on Monday. My son also loves harness racing.â&#x20AC;? Rhoades said he and his brothers were the ďŹ rst campers at the fairgrounds during fair week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were the ďŹ rst boys to camp there,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I helped other guys at the fair...the Stocksdales and the Ripps.â&#x20AC;? His brothers are former Darke County Treasurer Royce Rhoades, now deceased, and Richard, who is a local Realtor. Rhoades, who will be turning 75 in October, is passionate about Ohio State football as well as some basketball. He also enjoys talking to people while wheeling and dealing at various auctions and sales. The son of the late Hiram and Mary Rhoades, he attended Jackson High School, now known as Mississinawa Valley. He remembers how his family took fried chicken to the fair before going their separate ways. Other siblings include brother, Donald and sister, Eileen. Rhoades retired from R&R Fabrication in St. Henry.

Welbourn proud of Farmer of Year plaque LINDA MOODY CORRESPONDENT lmoody@earlybirdpaper.com UNION CITY, Ohio â&#x20AC;&#x201C; John Welbourn was shocked when he learned he was named Farmer of the Year at the State Line Heritage Days luncheon recently. He had to miss the event because of a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointment, but family members were there to receive it for him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thought about it until I heard about it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was speechless,â&#x20AC;? wife Jimmie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was very unexpected.â&#x20AC;? Sixty-eight years ago, Welbourn was born into a farming environment, thanks to his parents, Ralph Jr. and the late Gladys. He began working on the family farm at the age of 10 and in ďŹ fth grade. At the time, his parents were farming 400 acres, 200 of their own and 200 acres of land, owned by Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paternal grandparents, Ralph and Inez Welbourn, Sr. His grandfather died in 1959. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He (Ralph Jr.) was head of everything here and has a brilliant mind,â&#x20AC;? Jimmie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dad will be 97 next month,â&#x20AC;? John said. John said he was born and raised four miles down the road from his current address, and graduated from Mississinawa Valley High School in 1967. His wife is originally from Kentucky, but graduated from Newton High School in Pleasant Hill. He and his wife, the former Jim-

mie Fuson, were wed May 2, 1970. His only sibling, Linda, died as the result of car crash after she graduated from high school in 1964. The couple has three daughters, Jonnie Meyer, Ashley Leis and Julie Hunt. There are six grandchildren. Sons-in-law Wade Hunt and Chad Meyer help him out on the farm daily and the other sonin-law, Dustin Leis, helps whenever he can. John, who enjoys picking corn, said he lets the sons-in-law do the hard work. In addition to grain farming, the Welbourns decided to start a dairy operation with 70 cattle in 1963. He remained on the farm and helped with milking and farming. They discontinued milking cattle in 1976, when they, as a family, decided to expand their grain farming operation. He said they also raised hogs for a little while in the early years. During his Mississinawa Valley days, he milked the cows before school and fed them after school. Today, they have an estimated 2,400 acres of farmland. The farm workers are identiďŹ able as they drive from place to place in their ďŹ&#x201A;eet of red pickup trucks bearing the business name. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now we are grain farmers, mainly corn and beans, but not wheat this year,â&#x20AC;? said John, who is involved in everything that goes on with the family

Versailles FFA hosts building COLUMBUS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; On July 28, multiple members of the Versailles FFA attended the Ohio State Fair in Columbus. These members included Tessa Tyo, Kyle Dirksen, Taylor Tyo, Kobe Epperly, Elliot George, and Cassie Parsons. They hosted the state fair FFA booth in the Lausche Building.

Much of his and Jimmieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spare time is spent ďŹ shing at a pond on one of the farms and mowing. He also earned his pilotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Spirit Medical Transport, LLC, is pleased to announce the creation of 15 new emergency medical technician positions through a scholarship program being offered by the family-owned and operated company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have harvested from the ďŹ elds of Western Ohio and Eastern Indiana,â&#x20AC;? said Spirit President/CEO Brian K. Hathaway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now time to grow a new crop of EMTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s who are anxious to serve and protect those in need of emergency medical services.â&#x20AC;? With ofďŹ ces in Greenville, Celina, Sidney, and Van Wert, , along with Richmond and Liberty, Indiana, Hathaway said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s becoming difďŹ cult to ďŹ nd well-qualiďŹ ed EMTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and paramedics. The shortage of available EMTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and paramedics is being felt across the Buckeye and Hoosier states in both the private and public sectors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We interview a lot of people who have an interest in becoming an EMT and entering EMS as a career ďŹ eld,â&#x20AC;? explained Aaron L. Guthrie, Vice President of Spirit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their biggest challenge normally is lacking the ďŹ nancial means to pay for the class and/or the dedicated time it takes to meet all the course requirements.â&#x20AC;? With this thought in mind, the executive management team at Spirit have partnered with Four County

Career Center based in Archbold, to host a six-week EMT course, where not only are the EMT classes paid for, but the successful scholarship candidates will be ďŹ nancially compensated for each day of class they attend. Classes will be held in the classroom at Spiritâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Greenville ofďŹ ce ďŹ ve days a week starting Sept. 18. For those not living in the Greenville area, transportation options to/from class are also being made available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a company, our mission is to have local people taking care of local people as much as possible,â&#x20AC;? Hathaway explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To do this, we have established a scholarship program that not only creates a solution to the problem, but brings more jobs to the local communities we serve and provides additional resources for those volunteer and part-time organizations in need of EMS professionals, just like us.â&#x20AC;? Spirit is currently accepting scholarship applications from people who have an interest in becoming an Emergency Medical Technician and working full-time for Spirit once theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve successfully completed their class and training. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;full-rideâ&#x20AC;? scholarship involves a twoyear full-time employment commitment to Spirit. Application requests can be made by going online to the Spirit webpage at www.spiritmedicaltransport.com or

by emailing Spiritâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Director of Employee Relations Sally Wilson at swilson@spiritmedicaltransport.com. Applications will also be available at Spiritâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two locations on the Darke County Fairgrounds during fair week. Candidates submitting an application for the scholarship program have until 5 p.m. on Aug. 25 to apply. After submitting the application, candidates will be interviewed on a ďŹ rst-come, ďŹ rstserve basis by the Director of Employee Relations. Panel interviews of scholarship ďŹ nalists will take place Aug.

29 and 30 at the Greenville ofďŹ ce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The scholarship is designed not only as an investment in our business, but also as a means of opening the doors of opportunity to those individuals who are in pursuit of a rewarding career and have a passion to serve people during some of the roughest days of their lives,â&#x20AC;? Hathaway concluded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a company, we are excited about enabling personal growth and career success to those who want to join us and our commitment to serve the community.â&#x20AC;?

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien announces run for Ohio House seat TROY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Miami County Commissioner John W. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Budâ&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, a Republican, recently announced his intention to seek the 80th Ohio house seat being vacated by Rep. Steve Huffman when he announced his run for the 5th District of the Ohio Senate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During my time with Miami County I have provided strong conservative leadership. Miami and Darke counties expect that type of State Representative and I will take my experience and conservative values to Columbus to be their voice,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien opened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since taking elective ofďŹ ce I have been committed to balanced budgets, keeping taxes low, making government work smarter and promoting living wage job growth. As a State Representative I will work every day to do the same for the State of Ohio and the 80th House District. Along with the dollars and cents issues I will be a strong advocate for the 2nd Amendment, protecting the sanctity of life and taking control of our schools from Columbus bureaucrats and putting it back into the hands of the locals,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 80th House District and Ohio have accomplished many things since the great recession but there is still so much more we

John W. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien

can do. My record of conservative leadership and actually getting things done for the citizens have prepared me to hit the ground running when elected to the statehouse,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are ninemonths before the Republican primary election in May 2018. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to talking to the citizens of the 80th District to ďŹ nd out what is important to them and their families. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m conďŹ dent my track record of service and conservative values will match what the district expects from their state representative,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien concluded. John W. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Budâ&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien lives in Monroe Township with Kim his wife of 31 years. They have three adult children and are members of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Tipp City. The 80th Ohio house district includes all of Miami County and portions of Darke County.

READERS WRITE Transparency in Government Editor: In the Sunday, July 9, edition of The Early Bird there was an article calling attention to the action of the United States House of Representatives passing the Welfare Transparency Amendment sponsored by Representative Warren Davidson (R-OH). The amendment addressed to the Accelerating Individuals into the Workplace Act (H.R. 2842) is directing states to collect and report data on the use of welfare beneďŹ ts by individuals as a means of tracking what works and/or doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, regarding the welfare beneďŹ ts by individuals in the programs or projects addressing that issue. I commend that action. Hopefully, the data will give direction in reconstructing or redesigning a productive program that better serves those who are dependent upon such services from our government agencies, dealing with such needs.

served that the need for such transparency needs to be extended to all aspects regarding federal and local spending of tax revenue. Federal and local monies are collected and doled out for a multitude of services and programs for the beneďŹ t of the citizens, including abatements or subsidies to agriculture and corporations, etc. If the collecting of data for the analytical purposes of making sure the funds are working as intended, then the transparency amendment should be applied to all program spending, assuring good ďŹ scal policy and ďŹ nancial stability regarding the use of tax revenues.

Yeah, it was a tough week. My wife and I watched television together. We laughed together. It was almost like when we were ďŹ rst married. Then it all came crashing down. She wanted to see the kids. I have to admit, I missed them a little bit. However, I had to work and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go with her to see them. Guess who got the phone call when our lovely daughters paid little attention to her. Guess who got the phone call when our precious girls decided they would rather spend time with their friends than hang around with their mom. Guess who got the phone call when the girls who share in our expenses more than in our income barely talked to their mother, except to ask for stuff. I hope you answered that she called me. If not, then you are probably the type of person that answers hypothetical questions and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grasp the concept of sarcasm. In either case, you probably think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the worst father and husband â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ever. I answered the phone and I heard my wife sobbing. I was fairly certain that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cause the sobbing so I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a big olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; knot in my stomach. Knowing my girls and knowing how my wife is feeling about â&#x20AC;&#x153;losingâ&#x20AC;? our oldest daughter to college and the freedom she will have from her parents, I more than half expected

this phone call. Unfortunately for my wife, I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as sympathetic as she would have hoped. When she cried, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want anything to do with me.â&#x20AC;? I replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;And you really expected something different.â&#x20AC;? When, through her sobs, she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just wanted to be with their friends,â&#x20AC;? I responded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You realize that in a few short years this is the way it will be all of the time.â&#x20AC;? She quit crying long enough to shout, â&#x20AC;&#x153;SHUT UP.â&#x20AC;? My wife complained about their lack of concern for her and her feelings and acted like she was put out by their request that she go get them pizza. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to go get it for them, arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you,â&#x20AC;? I said. Sure enough, she went and got pizza for the children that would barely talk to her. We are now less than two weeks away from sending our oldest daughter away. My wife is not as ďŹ ne with that as I am. I see it as a new chapter in our daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. My wife sees it as her leaving us. I see it as an opportunity for her to spread her wings and ďŹ nd out who she really is. My wife sees it as her leaving us. I see it as a chance for her to grow and mature. My wife sees it as her leaving us. I see it as the ďŹ rst step in our daughter having ďŹ nancial freedom from her parents. My wife sees it as her leaving us. Obviously my wife and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see eye-to-eye on this one.

Valdosta State University basketball program signs Guillozet GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

VALDOSTA, GA. – Clay Guillozet, a 2016 Greenville graduate signed to play for the Valdosta State University (VSU) Blazers men’s basketball team under veteran Coach Mike Helfer, an Ohio native. Guillozet spent his freshman season playing for West Liberty University (WLU). A coaching change at WLU afforded Guillozet the opportunity explore options for his sophomore season, accepting an offer from VSU to continue his studies while taking his game to the next level. “Not only is Clay a good player, but off the court he’s a great person,” VSU Coach Mike Helfer said. “If you look across sports in general, there seems to be a high expectation with coaches. There is a high expectation for good kids as well as good players and he has it going in that direction.” “I’m extremely excited,” Guillozet said of his choice to attend VSU. “I came down on my visit and Coach Helfer just blew me away. Seeing the facilities and all the resources they have down here, the campus is beautiful, the strength and

conditioning coach is really good, just getting me ready for the season.” “I have built a really great relationship with Coach Helfer since my ﬁrst time meeting him,” added Guillozet. “I think it is a perfect ﬁt.” “I don’t think anyone wants to go through it when a coach leaves or whatever, so I reached out to Clay and had him come on a visit,” Helfer said. “I think also for Clay, he was kind of surprised coming to Georgia, how nice it is. Our campus is beautiful. We have palm trees on our campus.” Coach Helfer, a Newark Central Catholic High School Hall of Fame athlete earned the honor as a standout football and basketball player for the Newark, Ohio school, playing receiver on two state championship football teams.” “I played football in high school,” noted Helfer, “but I chose to go on and play basketball at Capitol University in Bexley, (OH).” Helfer earned three letters as well as serving as Captain his senior year on the Capital University Crusaders basketball team. Soon after signing with VSU, Guillozet met up with Coach Helfer in

his Ohio hometown. “I do a camp back in Newark for kids in my hometown,” shared Helfer. “I’ve been doing it for 24 years now. After Clay signed with us, he was like, ‘hey coach, I would like to come over and work your camp in Newark,’ so he came over and he stayed with his brother in New Albany and drove to Newark every day. He came over and helped me with the kids at Newark at the basketball camp and I thought that was really cool.” “Coach runs a really nice camp there,” said Guillozet. “It was really good for me. I got to know him on my visits but that just helped to build a closer relationship working at his camp.” “Newark kids who don’t even know Clay and then they ﬁnd out he’s coming to play for me, they fell in love with the kid,” Helfer stated. “All week they’re jumping all over him. This was awesome – it was great.” “Really it was everything that went into it,” Guillozet summed up his reason for Valdosta State. “There wasn’t just one big thing, but meeting Coach and seeing the program – they went 26-6 last year and just feeling like this is a spot that is going to help me personally as

well work on my game and make me a better player. Just making me a better player over all.” “I watched them and you could tell,” Guillozet said of his visit to VSU. “The student involvement, they have student sections on each side of

the hoop and they also have a lot of really good boosters that support the program. It’s a big town but there is deﬁnitely the support behind it.” “Over your course of your career you always have kids that you like to sign and you have kids

that you would love to sign,” concluded Helfer. “Clay is falling into the category that I would have loved to have signed him – and once we did, I felt like it was a tremendous sign and it will be a tremendous asset for our program.”

GREENVILLE – The Great Darke County Fair will once again host two days of Championship Truck and Tractor Pulling when the 2017 National Tractor Pullers Association (NTPA) Grand Nationals roll into town August 22nd and 23rd for two big nights of worldclass pulling. “We’ll have smoke and noise, a class for everyone,” said Kyle Schlechty, Vice President Darke County Tractor Pullers Association (DCTPA). “Really something there for everybody whether you like tractors or smoke, tractors that go fast or just all horsepower.

There are always great seats in the grandstand or trackside grandstand seating.” Nationally known trackside announcer Al Washburn returns to announce the two day event joining Darke County’s own regional tractor pulling announcer, Duane Edwards.

GREENVILLE – The Green Wave high school football took to the new artiﬁcial turf for at Harmon Field Saturday morning in an intrasquad scrimmage. “It’s great to come out and get the kids out on the turf,” said Coach Aaron Shaffer. “I know they have been excited about it. Obviously we are real excited about the opportunity to play on the new turf and the new surroundings with the way things have changed. Deﬁnitely a neat day. Colton Zumbrun summed it up best when he said, ‘I thought it would look a lot different … it’s still Harmon Field’.”

The distinct smell of a new turf field was obvious as the coaches and team took to the playing field for the first time. “It’s definitely different,” Shaffer said. “I was joking with the coaches before we came out. We had those chances of rain there Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. A few years ago we were praying no rain and the last few days we’ve been praying for a little bit of rain because our practice field could use a little bit of a drink.” “It is definitely a different feel,” added Shaffer. “You get a consistent surface. You don’t have to worry about any of the dips and bumps and the things you get in a grass field. It is definitely a dif-

ferent feel out here.” The first day on the new field brought many fans and onlookers to the stadium for the first intra-squad scrimmage of the new season. “We thought there would be (fans) with the way the stadium has been closed up and everybody wants to get out and see it, see what all the hard work that has been going on out here has produced,” said Shaffer. “It was nice to see a lot of people out here and get a little bit of that game like feel when there were long run breaks or there was a big hit. You get something like that – you get that cheering, so it was nice to have the fans out today. “It was a good day,” concluded Shaffer.

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Greenville girls varsity soccer team defeated the visiting National Trail Lady Blazers 4-3 in a scrimmage match played on the new Harmon Field turf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was very please I think we played very well,â&#x20AC;? said Greenville Coach Jason Arnold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tonight was a positive start to our season, getting this scrimmage under our belt.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Love the new ďŹ eld,â&#x20AC;? Arnold said of the new Wave turf ďŹ eld. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different style of play for us. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deďŹ nitely a wider ďŹ eld, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re up to maximum specs for a soccer ďŹ eld, so more area to cover. The turf is going to be a very good tool for us. Now we can move the ball a lot more ďŹ&#x201A;uidly â&#x20AC;Ś faster.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that we have a fast smooth surface, we can now go more to a carry passing game versus an airborne game,â&#x20AC;? stated Arnold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a much better

Coach Arnold is pleased to be on the regulation size ďŹ eld for the 2017 season and has plans to use the extra area to the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advantage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do have a lot more ground to cover but it still comes back to soccer IQ, being able to use the ďŹ eld to our advantage and not run ourselves crazy just because we have the space,â&#x20AC;? Arnold said. Matt Baker and Sam

Grim return as assistant coaches for the 2017 season assisting Coach Arnold with an ever improving Lady Wave soccer program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a good group of core seasoned players returning, playing since they were eight or nine years old,â&#x20AC;? noted Arnold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have soccer IQ and excellent leadership skills.

Greenville hosts 4th Annual Dylan Williams Tournament BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE - Greenville played host to the 4th Annual Dylan Williams Forever An All-Star Tournament this past weekend after heavy rain on July 22 and 23 forced the youth allstar baseball tournament to be rescheduled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are so thankful for all the generous people of the Greenville Citizens Baseball League for not only donating their ďŹ elds, but for all their time in getting them ready,â&#x20AC;? Erick and Georgiana Williams family said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a tough one this year, with all the rain, but we were able to get it done with all the help of so many friends!â&#x20AC;? Along with the tournament date being moved, nine teams were unable to accommodate the change. Down to 24 total teams in three age divisions, the traditional two-day bracket

play was able to be ďŹ nished up in a single day on Saturday at Sater Heights Ballpark. In the championship games - Versailles topped Greenville to take the 8u division, Celina won the 10u with a victory over St. Henry and Russia held off Bradford for the 12u title.

At a later date, each ďŹ rstplace team will be presented with an Automated External DeďŹ brillator (AED) to be used at any location of their choosing. The memorial tournament began in 2013 after the 8-year-old lost his young life in a tragic all-star baseball practice accident that caused his heart to stop. Since that day, the Dylan Williams Forever An AllStar Foundation has worked tirelessly to ensure as many AEDs are on-hand throughout area schools, sporting event ďŹ elds/ballparks and public facilities to help save a life during any critical time in need. To-date they have donated nearly 75 AED devices. Learn more about the Dylan Williams Forever An All-Star Foundation on their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/DylanWilliamsForeverAnAllStar.

Greenville boys soccer team downs Dunbar 1-0 in scrimmage play BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Green Wave boys soccer team defeated Dayton Dunbar 1-0 in its ďŹ rst scrimmage of the season, taking to Harmon ďŹ eld on the ďŹ rst day of use on the new artiďŹ cial turf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a lot faster,â&#x20AC;? said Wave varsity boys soccer coach Mark Coppess of the new turf ďŹ eld. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot bigger. The ďŹ rst 25 minutes showed our guys how much running there is going to be involved this year.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Learning how to use all of that width,â&#x20AC;? noted Coppess, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it wore us down.â&#x20AC;? Greenville ended the day leading with 74% possession, 17-0 in shot advantage and 7 corners taken even though four varsity starters were missing from the season opening scrimmage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was really pleased with our defense and our midďŹ eld,â&#x20AC;? noted Coppess. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The

ďŹ nal third is where we need to work. We lacked many opportunities to score. We just had trouble putting the ball in the goal, but I was overall very well pleased with what we got considering we are missing four players.â&#x20AC;? Coach Coppess is certain the Wave team is up to the challenge conditioning wise with the much wider home soccer ďŹ eld in play for the

2017 season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do really well conditioning, but part of it is â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still new,â&#x20AC;? Coppess noted of the new turf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some rain would help settle it down. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really soft right now and it absorbs a lot of energy but after they settle in and nerves calmed down for some of the freshmen, I think we will be ďŹ ne. Missing four of our starters was rough.â&#x20AC;?

tion and assistance on breastfeeding. Jenkinson pointed out when she was looking for information a few years ago it was hard to ﬁnd anything in Darke County. She eventually turned to the La Leche League in Celina. She eventually brought a chapter to Darke County to help moms like her. Although the La Leche League supports the World Health Organization’s standards for breastfeeding, Jenkinson admits, “Some is better than none.” She encouraged moms to breastfeed whether it’s two days, two months, two years or beyond. Studies have shown breastfeeding helps children with medical conditions like asthma, diabetes and allergies and helps moms through postpartum depression.

EUM adds classroom modular to growing congregation BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE - The EUM Church of Greenville will soon add more space to itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worship center property to accommodate a growing congregation. The church purchased the 7,600 square foot modular during an auction on March 2 at Greenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Woodland Primary School, located at the corner of Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Home Bradford Road and OH118. It is one of four trailers formerly used by the elementary school. According to EUM Church Executive Director of Missional Operations, Kristen Fee, the modular will be utilized as classroom space for kids in ďŹ rst grade all the through high

Fee said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just like in the tagline of our Kidmunity says, this is an investment in the next generation and opens doors for our youth to learn about and share the love of God.â&#x20AC;? EUM currently sees approximately 1,300 people, including children, during their ďŹ ve weekend worship services - the largest in Darke County. The ground at the EUM Worship Center property, located at 1451 Sater St., is currently being prepared for the modular that will be delivered on Aug. 28.

The Don’s Pizza and Paul Ackley will have patrons talking about history on their next visit for pizza.

Murals complete The Don’s new look RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Have you been to The Don’s Pizza, 617 S. Broadway St., Greenville, recently? Obviously you are missing out on some great food, but you also may not have seen the remodeling project that was completed. While the dark red walls with black trim add to the ambiance of the restaurant, the murals that line the walls that are getting a lot of attention. The Don’s Pizza wanted to highlight the history of Greenville and they called upon one of Greenville’s most proliﬁc artists to capture the community’s rich history. Paul Ackley, political cartoonist and sign and mural creator, created several stunning pieces that remind residents of who may have walked the streets or the ground right outside the restaurant. The biggest of the murals features a look at downtown Greenville before cars. The scene shows horses and

carriages lining the historic area with a street car passing through the center of downtown. In the background, the courthouse dome and clock rises about all other buildings. Greenville’s history is more than just buildings and remembering how downtown used to be. It’s also about the people. Ackley and The Don’s Pizza highlighted a few of the community’s notable residents, including Lt. Cdr. Zachary Lansdowne – commander of the Shenandoah Airship that crashed in Noble County, Ohio on Sept. 2, 1925; Lowell Thomas – famous newscaster, war correspondent, author and ﬁlm maker for his tales with Lawrence of Arabia; General Anthony Wayne – his army built Fort Greene Ville; Chief Tecumseh – led a multi-tribal confederacy and refused to sign the Treaty of Greenville in 1795; and legendary sharpshooter and performer Annie Oakley – Oakley was born near North Star and Willowdell and died in Greenville on Nov. 3, 1926.

GETTYSBURG – Gettysburg’s Cardinal Center set the scene this past week for 70 local artists to explore their memories. For the third summer, students in grades 3-12 were invited to attend a summer Arts Week, sponsored by Friends of the Cardinal Center and the Village of Gettysburg. What started in 2015 has grown from 27 kids to 70, said Greenville art teacher Julie Brewer, one of three local school art teachers who organize and teach the summer camp. Brewer said the idea was originally proposed by Brett Clark, a Gettysburg resident who was afﬁliated with the Cardinal Center. “He jokingly asked me ‘how about starting an art camp,’” Brewer recalls. “It’s exploded over the past three years.” Students come from all across Darke County and include some homeschoolers who may not have the opportunity for art experience during the regular school year. This year’s theme was Memories. Students were divided into three age groups – elementary, middle and high school – with each group completing projects pertaining to the theme. Brewer said planning activities to go along with a theme makes camp activities more “cohesive.” Brewer’s high school students were charged

with creating a “dream room” from a dream they’d had or a future dream they’d like to see come true. Soon-to-be freshman Elise Hayes, a homeschooler from Greenville, was busy creating her room about a tornado she had dreamed about. Using foam board and watercolors, the high schoolers made their room and items depicting their chosen dream. Hayes said she wasn’t planning on studying art for a future career, but had taken private lessons with Brewer. “Art is my major hobby,” Hayes said. At the other end of the table. Allie Tanner, a Greenville High School freshman, said she was interested in studying animation for a future career. Attending art camp, Tanner believes, will assist in giving herself practice in drawing and creating for her future endeavors. The elementary school students spent Wednesday putting their favorite memories into collage form. The grades 3-5 students created the collages using mixed media, said teacher Ashley Austerman, who teaches art at Mississinawa Valley. Third-grader Will Roquemore of Versailles was putting the ﬁnishing touches on his memory collage. “Christmas is my favorite holiday,” Roquemore said of his Christmas tree and ornament-laden col-

lage. Other elementary students were building collages about their memories of summer or ﬁshing trips. “Students started with a brainstorming” session, Austerman said of how they came up with collage ideas. “They related a lot of their ideas to the movie Inside Out.” The elementary group also learned about how colors can represent different emotions and “we talked about visual images and how they can use them to express themselves,” Austerman said. Over in the middle school room, the 6-8th grade students were creating a storyboard with scenes from a jumbled up memory. The storyboard was folded accordionstyle to ﬁt inside an origami box students made and painted.

Carly Rieman, who will be in sixth grade at Arcanum this year decided to tell a funny memory about the time she found her lost hamster climbing up the television set. “It’s just really fun,” Rieman said of Art Camp. “It’s fun and really amazing.” Rieman also said it was “neat to see my art teacher” Heather Wackler during art camp and “see what she’s doing with her summer.” Art Camp is funded through grants from Darke County Center for the Arts (DCCA) and the Greenville Rotary as well as a number of local businesses, Brewer said. On Friday, Aug. 11,. families were invited to an exhibit of their students; work, which for some also included writing a brief description of the art they had on display.

WEST MANCHESTER – A Love for Lucas with Leukemia Benefit Dinner benefit for Lucas Fudge will be held Aug. 26, noon until the fun is over, at the American Legion Hall in West Manchester. This is a spaghetti dinner filled with numerous activities. Lucas is a first grader at Arcanum Elementary and was diagnosed with Pre B ALL, a form of leukemia in February. The family says they are very lucky that is was caught early, but admit they still have a long road ahead, including three

years of treatment. The beneﬁt will help the family with expenses through this time. In addition to the dinner, there will be a bounce house supplied by ACE hardware of Greenville, DJ provided by Travis William Smith with Fire Fly DJ services, and great rafﬂe prizes supplied by multiple wonderful businesses throughout Darke, Preble, and Montgomery Counties. There also will be pony rides, and other animals. The American Legion is located at 450 N Main St., West Manchester.

Bear’s Mill will feature local artists GREENVILLE – The upcoming “Art at the Mill” exhibit which opens Aug. 25 in the Clark Gallery at historic Bear’s Mill will feature the wood sculptures of Bradford resident Steve Burelison and photographic prints by Greenville native C.J. Jasenski. An opening night reception from 6-8 p.m. will offer ﬁnger food and drinks as well as brief talks by the artists who will share information about their work, methods, and inspiration at 7 p.m. Art at the Mill, curated by Jan Roestamadji and Julie Clark, is free and open to the public. According to Marti Goetz, executive director of Friends of Bear’s Mill, both Burelison and Jasenski are artistic explorers who remain grounded in traditional crafts but constantly expand their perspective to evolve and achieve new frontiers in their artistry. After carving realistic birds for about 11 years, Steve Burelison discovered the joy of allowing the grain and imperfections of found wood to guide his work. “I realized that the freedom of interpretive and abstract sculpture was something I needed to follow,” he explained. When he picks up a piece of wood, he sees beauty and movement that inspires the form he eventually sculpts, creating not only decorative pieces but also one-of-a-kind furniture that comes from nature, expressing the inspiration derived from the shape and grain of the original discovery. Steve’s work has

received numerous awards, as well as recognition in the British Woodcarvers Magazine. Although C.J. Jasenski has held a wide variety of jobs since graduating from Miami University with a degree in Art and Architectural History in 2001, he has maintained a freelance graphic design and illustration business throughout his career. However, this is the ﬁrst ever exhibit offering C.J.’s artistic output for view and possible purchase; his current work is inspired by his fascination with technology and its ability to facilitate manipulation of subject matter in diverse and exciting ways. “Taking photos with my iPhone allows me to achieve goals not possible using a traditional camera,” said the ever-exploring entrepreneur. “Art at the Mill” continues at Bear’s Mill’s Clark Gallery through December, with a new exhibit opening on the Final Friday of each month; multi-media artist Liz Zorn’s abstract paintings and the clay, stone, and wood sculptures of John Leon remain on display at the Mill through August 20. “Art at the Mill” receives funding from Darke County Endowment for the Arts. Historic Bear’s Mill is owned and operated by Friends of Bear’s Mill, a non-proﬁt organization, and is located at 6450 Arcanum-Bear’s Mill Road about 5 miles east of Greenville. For more information, contact Bear’s Mill at (937) 548-5112 or www. bearsmill.org.

Dr. Menendez is Family Physician of the Year

Concert band returns to stage on Sunday GREENVILLE – The Greenville Municipal Concert Band returns to the Greenville City Park on Sunday, Aug. 13 for a performance of traditional and modern band music. Concert time will be 7 p.m. and seating is available on park benches, or listeners may bring their own lawn chairs. There is no admission charge for the concert. The band will be conducted by its associate director, Doug Albright. The band is well known for its performance of traditional march music. Marches scheduled to be performed on Sunday’s concert include “The Billboard” by John Klohr, “The Big Cage” by Karl L. King and “Stars and Stripes Forever” by John Philip Sousa. The overture for the evening will be “Spirit of the Winds” by Robert Smith. Smith wrote the music to depict a hot air balloon rally in the Temecula Valley region of California. Another highlight of the program will be Frank Ticheli’s

“Simple Gifts,” a suite of Shaker inﬂuenced music. The songs and dances of this religious group have proven to be a rich resource for modern composers. Lighter musical selections will include a medley of early rock and roll tunes entitled “The Golden Age of Rock and Roll.” Also on the program is a selection of songs from the Broadway musical, Hello Dolly. Hello Dolly has been a hot ticket on Broadway once again, with Bette Midler starring in revival that won four Tony Awards in 2017. Brian McKibben will step out of the trombone section to lead the band in a performance of “Uptown Funk,” the recent pop hit by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars. There will be no concert on Aug. 20, but concert attendees can look forward to Sunday, Aug. 27 and a performance by the Greenville Municipal Big Band. The big band will be under the direction of JR Price, and will be playing jazz and swing favorites.

COLUMBUS – The Ohio Academy of Family Physicians has announced that Carlos Menendez, MD, will receive its 2017 Family Physician of the Year Award. Dr. Menendez is the medical director for Family Health Services of Darke County Inc. in Greenville, where he has practiced family medicine since 1986. Family Health is a federally qualified health center (FQHC) with four locations including Greenville, Arcanum, New Madison, and Versailles. “The work we do as family physicians is challenging and intellectually stimulating, particularly in a rural practice. What is most rewarding are the personal interactions. We are very blessed to share the high and low points of our patient’s lives,” said Dr. Menendez. Dr. Menendez and his family came to Greenville in 1986 after fulfilling a National Health Service Corps obligation. Then, Family Health was a small practice housed in a renovated garage. He would make trips to migrant farm camps to deliver care out of the back of a station wagon; see patients in the emergency room because it was not staffed; make rounds in the hospital; and tend to patients in the office, their homes, and in skilled nursing facilities. “He is always willing to go above and beyond what it expected for his patients, for Family Health, and for his community. Dr. Menendez has spent his entire career serving the underprivileged as a physician for our FQHC—delivering babies, providing nursing home care, and even home visits,” said Jean Young, executive director for Family Health. “Dr. Menendez exemplifies the characteristics we look for in our best family physicians. He is a man of integrity who always follows through on his promises, makes good decisions in difficult situations, is not afraid of trying new ways to approach old problems, and remains

well balanced in the face of adversity,” said Ted Wymyslo, MD, chief medical ofﬁcer for the Ohio Association of Community Health Centers. Dr. Menendez oversaw Family Health’s growth from a small medical practice with ﬁve providers to a multi-specialty practice with 41 providers and 200 employees. He directed the practice’s accreditation through the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care as both a community health center and a patient-centered medical home. Dr. Menendez has lived

a life of balance between professional and personal responsibilities by joining the two. A father of two grown sons, Matt and Joe, Dr. Menendez would take his sons when they were growing up with him for hospital rounds. Matt and Joe would say hello to the other physicians and nurses and would then sit in the physician break room while Dr. Menendez visited his patients. Dr. Menendez would always make time to watch Matt and Joe at their sporting events or extracurricular activities, which was no small feat for a busy family

physician. “Throughout my 26 years at Family Health, I haven’t witnessed one single instance where he has wavered in integrity, clinical excellence, advocacy, judgment, patience, nor commitment to quality care. I have always been in awe of his steady strength, consistent demeanor, and dedication to fairness and equality for both patients and staff,” continued Dr. White. Dr. Menendez and his wife, Patti, reside in Greenville and have two grown sons, Matt (Jenny) and Joe (Allie).

Two events planned BRADFORD – The Bradford Public Library has two great events planned in August. “Glancing At the Stars - Part 2” - Last month, Bradford Public Library (BPL) held an astronomy workshop with amateur astronomers, Paul and Eric Sullenberger. They will be holding Part 2: The Great American Eclipse on Aug. 15, 6:30 p.m. The Sullenbergers will be going more in-depth about the upcoming Great American Eclipse on Monday, Aug. 21. The library will have a free pair of Solar Eclipse viewing glasses for the ﬁrst 50 people who attend. To ensure that you will receive your free glasses at this workshop, contact the library at 448-2612. The Bradford Public Library is ready to offer your homeschooling organizations the best they have (in books, materials, educational DVD’s, subscription databases, STEM or STEAM activities) which will complement your own homeschooling curriculum. The library has been

working over the last several years in providing a variety of materials, books, kits, etc. for homeschooling parents & children. This year, we are holding an informational meeting for all homeschooling local organizations and parents. The evening will be Thursday, Aug. 24 beginning at 6:30 p.m. It should last about one hour. Please let the library know if you or several of your homeschooling parents can come and offer them your suggestions and recommendations so they can serve your needs in an informed manner. Bradford Public Library also has access to Miami/ Troy Public Library and all of DaytonMetro Library holdings. Books and materials can be ordered online and picked up at the Bradford Public Library. This meeting is speciﬁcally to address Homeschooling needs and requirements. Contact the library at 937448-2612 to sign-up. Refreshments will be served.

BACK THE WAVE

COMPLETE AUTOMOTIVE MACHINE SHOP SERVICE.

GREENVILLE – Greenville High School athletes and supporters of the athletic program were again out seeking support from local residents during the annual Back the Wave. Prior to canvassing the community, participants gathered on the new turf at Harmon Field for a picture.

Concert of Caring tickets now on sale VERSAILLES – Concert of Caring, the major fundraising event for the Sidney Ofﬁce of Catholic Social Services of the Miami Valley, will be held Oct. 7, at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Versailles. This year’s featured entertainment is Dave and Rae, a popular four-piece group from the Indianapolis area. 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, and having fun. Tickets for the 2017 Concert of Caring are $50 per person which includes table seating, dinner buffet, desserts, two drink coupons, 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 for the event include 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 annual Concert of Caring guarantee continued success of CSSMV services in the Northern Miami Valley. Those programs include counseling, 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. Your support of this event could directly help a preschool child develop positive social and emotional skills, counsel a teen facing an unplanned pregnancy, give a person coping with depression a chance to work through problems, or provide companionship and help for an isolated senior or caregiver. The impact of CSSMV services are far-reaching and may just touch a family member, friend, or neighbor. Committee chairmen for the 2017 Concert of Caring event are dedicated volunteers Kathy Nichols, Dianne Sielschott, and Irene Stonebraker.

Sponsorships and tickets can be purchased online at www.cssmv-sidney.org/ events. For more information, or to donate a silent auction item, contact Elaine Schweller-Snyder, Northern Counties Marketing and Development Coordinator, at (937) 498-4593 ext. 1141 or snydere@cssmv.org.
