Local women urged to get mammograms BOB ROBINSON

ASSOCIATE EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – “Any woman can call me for assistance if they want a mammogram screening,” said Jill Brown, Cancer Coordinator at Wayne HealthCare. Breast Cancer Awareness of Darke County will pay for the uninsured or under-insured to get this service, she added. “There is no excuse for a woman not to have a mammogram.” Why should it be done? Nationwide the chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer sometime in her lifetime is one in eight. In Darke County, there are approximately 40 new cases of breast cancer each year. According to Brown it is estimated there will be about 231,840 new cases nationwide of breast cancer in women this year. Excluding skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women. Recognizing the unique aspects and prevalence of this cancer, ﬁve local individuals formed Breast Cancer Awareness of Darke County: Pam Spitler, Kay

Kirby, Brown, Sherry Smith and Vicky Henderson. Their goal is to promote awareness of breast cancer as well as raise funds to fight against it. The non-profit group is focused on screening and prevention for women’s health. This includes free mammograms, breast ultrasounds, pap tests and special supplies as needed. In 2014 the non-profit helped many of the 4,000 women who received mammogram screenings at Wayne HealthCare. The money is raised through donations and an annual race/walk. “We had 320 participants this year,” Brown said. It was conducted Aug. 1 in downtown Greenville and raised about $9,000. “Except for the shirts and some food, all money raised is going to assist in the screenings,” she added. Brown is a Certified Breast Care Nurse and a current member of the Board of Directors of Breast Cancer Awareness of Darke County. Wayne HealthCare provides multiple cancer screenings and treatments locally.

Crooners featured in Sunday concert GREENVILLE – The next concert in the park will be given by the Greenville Municipal Concert Band on Aug. 16 at the Marling Band Shell in the beautiful Greenville City Park. The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. and will be conducted by JR Price. They are proud this week to feature the vocal stylings of Greenville graduate, David McKibben. David is a resident of Dayton, and in high demand as a professional vocalist, music and theater director. David was featured with the band last July for our Independence Day Celebration Concert. His powerful, operatic voice will once again be featured as they pay tribute to the art of crooning. David will be featured with the band on the beautiful Henry Mancini song Moon River. They will also feature David as a historical Crooner as he sings a feature written by John Philip Sousa entitled I’ve Made My Plans for the Summer and the great Irish

Crooning song When Irish Eyes are Smiling. They are proud to have David join them in their celebration of crooning. The Greenville Municipal Concert Band will also pay tribute Sunday evening to great crooners as well. They will perform music from Adele, Michael Buble’ and one of the greatest crooners ever, Frank Sinatra. Also featured in the band will be the clarinet work of Brad Pipenger during the overture Morning, Noon and Night in Vienna and some very ﬁne trombone crooning by Brian McKibben on the great Italian song O Sole Mio. The concert is free and open to the public. There is plenty of seating available at the Marling Band Shell and you are welcome to bring your own lawn chair or blanket. Bring a friend and enjoy the show. A special program note, there will be no concert in the park Aug. 23. The Jazz Band will play on Aug. 30.

GREENVILLE – “I loved it,” said Carla Surber, Greenville City School District Treasurer. “It has a different feel to it… I really like it.” Surber was one of the early drivers of the district’s new electric car, a 2012 Chevrolet Volt. It is an “extended range electric,” which means it uses batteries but when the charge gets low a gasoline engine automatically starts up to charge the batteries. “That’s the only time the engine runs,” said GHS Auto Tech instructor Jim Anderson. “It’s not used to power the wheels. With electric only you have to worry about how far you can go without recharging… with this you could drive to California.” The Volt was purchased with the help of a $5,000 donation by Dayton Power & Light. Making the presentation Aug. 12 was Holly Wiggins, DP&L’s Director of Community and Corporate Social Responsibility. According to GHS Auto Tech instructor Travis Nicholas, they plan on letting teachers and administrators use the vehicle, then in the fall they hope to open it up to opportunities within the community.

The Volt will also play a role in the Auto Tech program’s 2015-16 presentation on alternative fuels. “Right now there’s way too much stuff that could be addressed,” Anderson said. “Once the students come in in September we can bring it more into focus.” He noted the high school program also has an opportunity to visit a General Motors plant in October. “This thing is idiot proof,” said Anderson as he went through all the computerized options in the vehicle. One display showed the exact time the batteries would be fully charged using 110v, as well as the charge time for 220v.

The vehicle also has regenerative braking… unused energy when braking helps it to recharge itself. “This means in town you can get up to (a comparable) 6065 mpg,” he said. The Volt has three modes: normal, sport and mountain. Normal operation is for town and highway driving. Mountain allows increased battery regeneration due to the mountain terrain. Sport is just that… it’s for the driver who wants the extra performance. “This thing’s got zip,” Anderson said, “but it will ‘kill’ the battery.” He added while the lack of engine sound will be strange to

some, the car rides comfortably. “It will seat four in reasonable comfort.” Anderson added the only thing they are lacking today is the infrastructure. “The auto manufacturers are taking a leap of faith building these vehicles with no charging stations. The fueling centers of the future will have all refueling options.” He noted electric and hydrogen fuel cells as only two of many. While electric vehicles like the Volt are signiﬁcantly more expensive than comparable gas vehicles, he added, operational expenses are only about onethird of those of the more traditional vehicles.

Snap Fitness hopes to move in September RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Start small and grow. That’s the philosophy Snap Fitness had when it opened its doors in Greenville in 2007. Eight years later, that business model has paid off. BJ Paulus, franchise owner, is expecting to open his new facility in about a month that will more than double the size of the current location. Paulus has been with the Greenville gym since it opened, but it wasn’t until September of last year that he purchased the franchise from Jeff Wendel. For the past three years he has been considering moving into a bigger location, but nothing that would ﬁt their needs was available. Snap Fitness is currently located in the Northtown Plaza, hidden in the back of store front shops and adjacent to Subway. Because of their location Paulus said he receives a lot of comments that even after eight years people don’t realize there is an option for gyms in Greenville. He is hoping their new building on KitchenAid Way will bring a little more attention to the business. Snap Fitness is nothing

like the stereotypical gym where guys go to “get buff” and can be seen posing and admiring themselves in the mirror. While you can deﬁnitely get a workout in at anytime of the day or night, Paulus and his staff offer much more. The increase in the number of persons requiring personal training is one of the main reasons for the new location. While Paulus and David Nealeigh, personal trainers, work with athletes to make them better all around athletes, they are just as comfortable working with persons

coming off of physical therapy and continuing their rehab. They often get referrals from local physical and occupational therapy businesses. Their clients range from those who are trying to gain the strength to step up onto a curb to high school athletes wanting an edge when trying to earn a scholarship. The new facility will give them additional space for personal training and will alleviate the issues they currently have of needing to move things around to work with clients. Paulus and his staff be-

lieve it is important to create a positive environment for clients and members of Snap Fitness. Paulus says he and his wife, Brooke, co-owner of Godspeed LLC, are extremely blessed to be a part of Snap Fitness. “God has blessed us to be able to do what we do,” he said. In addition to Brooke and David, the staff at Snap Fitness includes Bonnie Smith, ofﬁce manager, and Chris Cantrell, weekend manager and trainer. Cantrell is studying to be a physician assistant.

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT

Police handle domestic violence, disorderly conduct and more of Euclid Avenue regarding a disorderly subject, Todd Magoto. Three victims – Melissa Phillips, Jeff Thorton and Robert Leggett – told police Magoto had been yelling and cussing at them while they were standing in front of 223 Euclid Ave. They tried to ignore Magoto by moving to the front porch. Magoto allegedly walked down to the sidewalk, then into the street, yelling and cussing and waving his hands, trying to get them to fight. A witness confirmed the statements of the victims. The incident occurred within 1000 feet of a school; and children were reportedly present at the time. Magoto was arrested for disorderly conduct and transported to the Shelby County jail. On August 3 police were dispatched to 409 E. Fourth St. on a trespass complaint by Matthew Karnhem. The suspect, Dallas Turner, was never on Karnhem’s property, so there was no trespass. He was on a retaining wall two houses from the victim’s. Karnhem said Turner was yelling obscenities and screaming at the victim. He allegedly said he would get the Dayton outlaws to whip his ***; also challenging him to fight. A witness confirmed Karnhem’s story. While the officer was talking to the victim and witness he heard what sounded like a pop tab on a can. Someone had given Turner a 24 oz. can of beer; it was open and in a paper bag, cold to the touch and on the sidewalk between Turner’s feet. When advised he couldn’t drink beer in public Turner allegedly said “he was thirsty.” Turner denied taunting Karnhem, saying the victim was the one who threatened him. Turner was issued a summons for disorderly conduct within 1000 feet of a school and a summons for open container. On August 6 police were dispatched to Harrison Avenue and Front Street regarding a subject lying in the roadway. Dennis Johnson was found lying next to his bicycle. There was a strong odor of alcohol coming from him. Once awakened Johnson said he was

Keiser speaks on Longtown GREENVILLE – The Darke County Genealogy Society will host Connor Keiser as its speaker on Sept. 6. Keiser is a 21 year old college student, who will speak on his heritage in Darke County. He is a ﬁfth generation grandson of James and Sophia Clemens, founders of Longtown in Liberty Township, Darke County. James Clemens was the ﬁrst “free” person of color to purchase land in

Darke County. James also had a role in the Underground Railroad. All are welcome to attend this interesting program on Sept. 6, 2 p.m., at Garst Museum, 205 N. Broadway, Greenville, in the Lowell Thomas Room. The event is sponsored by the Darke County Genealogical Society. There will be a meeting following the presentation and light refreshments.

at Danny’s Place and was trying to ride his bike to his home at the Stardust Motel. Johnson was not hurt but was incapable of walking to a cruiser on his own, reportedly due to his level of intoxication. Police took him – at his request – to a friend’s residence. Police also transported the bicycle. Johnson was charged with disorderly conduct within 1000 feet of a school. ASSAULT On July 27 police were dispatched to Taco Bell, 1120 E. Russ Road, on an assault complaint. The victim, Ieshsa Libecap was with her boyfriend, Jason Rider, when Whitney Rider showed up. According to the report Jason and Whitney are still married but separated. The three went outside after which Whitney allegedly moved past Jason and threw a cup of water at Ieshsa and then punched her in the jaw. According to Whitney, Ieshsa threw a taco at her then charged her. Jason supported Ieshsa’s statement. Whitney had left before police arrived but went to the police station when contacted; she denied hitting Ieshsa. Ieshsa had red marks on her face, neck and chest areas, and had food and water on her clothing. Whitney did not have any marks or injuries; her clothing was wet but the ofﬁcer wasn’t sure from what. Whitney was cited for assault. MENACING On August 10 police were dispatched regarding a possible domestic dispute. One of the parties involved said the other was just upset and no argument had occurred. Two witnesses were attempting to pick up the person who was upset. While this was occurring, the victim was sitting on the porch in front of his apartment. Eric Henson opened a window and yelled “I am going to shoot you in the ******* head ******! I will ******* kill you for selling drugs ******!” The profanity continued; police asked the victim if he felt threatened and feared for his life. The victim said he did. Henson was arrested for menacing and continued using profanities. When he was charged, Henson allegedly said “Is that all you got? Menacing. I’m going to ******* kill him.” He was transported to Darke County jail. On July 31 police were dispatched to the 1300 block of Sweitzer Street regarding a disturbance. One of the victims, Matthew Dillon, said he was sitting in his truck across from Speedway, 1350 Sweitzer St., talking to his sister, Ladeana Diver, when the suspect, Matthew Unger,

allegedly walked by Diver’s vehicle and rubbed his hand down the side of it. Unger then asked in a harassing manner if Diver had a problem. Dillon asked Unger if he was okay; Unger began yelling at and challenging Dillon, reportedly asking him if he “wanted a piece of him and that he would **** him up.” Dillon exited his vehicle to keep Unger away from his daughter. Unger backed up, allegedly threatening him again, then returned with a knife in his hand, threatening both Dillon and his daughter. Diver was also afraid because she said Unger had just threatened to kill everyone. According to the report Unger attempted to open the passenger side of Dillon’s vehicle; Dillon exited his vehicle and grabbed a chain from the back of his truck. Unger backed off, reportedly threatening to get a gun. He went into his residence at 1395 Sweitzer St. Apt. 23. He exited again with the knife but threw it down when he saw the police ofﬁcers. In addition to the alleged threats, Unger caused a dent to the passenger side door of Dillon’s vehicle. He was cited for criminal damaging and aggravated menacing.

On Aug. 2 police were dispatched regarding a domestic dispute. The victim, upset and crying, was being treated by Greenville Township Rescue. According to the report Dwayne Morgan had started drinking, so due to alleged past altercations, the victim left the location. When she returned she said he was intoxicated and angry. She put a minor child in her bedroom and returned to the living room. She began to roll a cigarette when Morgan allegedly shouted at her, ripped the cigarette roller out of her hands and began punching her in the face with a closed ﬁst. She said he knocked her to the ground and punched her four more times before she was able to get away and contact a relative who called the police. The relative then arrived at the residence and told police Morgan looked at him and shouted “you want some too?” The victim did not have any visible injuries and refused (further) treatment. Police noted Morgan had two recorded domestic violence entries but no convictions. He was arrested for misdemeanor domestic violence and transported to Darke County jail. On Aug. 9 police were dispatched regarding a domestic dispute. The victim stated the defendant, Rocky Yoder, is intoxicated and trying to throw her out of her residence. She said the residence is in her name and she pays the bills. The victim was outside at the time; the ofﬁcer asked Yoder to also come outside. He agreed and stated he was tired of the victim trying to control his house. When the victim made comments in the background about the incident, Yoder turned on her and said “shut the **** up before I come up there and smack the **** out of you!” Yoder was placed in the back of the patrol car to keep the incident from escalating. The victim wrote a statement about the incident and Yoder was arrested for domestic violence and transported to Darke County jail.

ON YOUR MIND

Becoming more business friendly O v e r the last ﬁve years the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) has made JIM BUCHY changes OHIO to help it REPRESENTATIVE evolve from a problem, to a leader in economic development and job growth in Ohio. The growth is due to the presence of all the ingredients of a strong economy including: sound business decisions, a focus on safety and hard workers. In recent years, the BWC has been responsible for many great things. First, sound business decisions and higher than expected return on investments, allowed BWC to provide $2 billion in rebates to both public and private Ohio employers. Second, BWC invested in Ohio’s workers and workplaces by tripling funding for safety grants and safety research. Lastly, BWC reduced rates to the lowest in 30 years for public employers and by 21.4% for private employers. The BWC has made this drastic turn around, while lowering its premium rates, with help from changes to its billing system. Most recently, the Bureau has moved to prospective billing. Like most insurance companies, in order to provide Ohio employers with more ﬂexible payment options. By making this move and collecting premiums

in advance, employers are benefiting from flexible payment options, seeing a reduction in rates, and the BWC is providing a premium credit in order to avoid a double billing. Private employers are in the process of this transition now while public employers will benefit from this switch when their policy year beings January 1, 2016. These changes will also provide better customer service and a better ability to detect fraud and non-compliance, ultimately saving employers unnecessary costs. The lowering of rates and flexibility in payments encourages Ohio businesses to grow; and that growth of businesses, both big and small, will put many Ohioans in our community back to work and may have a positive impact on our economy. These sound business decisions are helping to turn Ohio’s economy around. Partnering these decisions with a focus on safe workplaces, and a reinvestment in roads and infrastructure all ensure more efficiency and dependability for people and businesses alike. Low energy costs and affordable tax policies have coupled with efforts at the BWC to grow business operations and jobs in Ohio.

Providing excellent constituent services T h i s y e a r , the IRS dropped 8.8 million calls on taxin JOHN BOEHNER payers U.S. REPRESENTATIVE the months SPEAKER leading up OF THE HOUSE to Tax Day. Today, wait times for veterans are longer than 90 days at many VA facilities. And the Social Security Administration has a backlog of more than one million people. It is no wonder that Americans’ trust and customer service satisfaction with federal agencies is so low. The culture of inefficiency and poor customer service at the IRS, VA, and other agencies is why I continue to fight for a smaller, less costly, and more accountable government in Washington. Already the people’s House has cut spending by more than $2.1 trillion, passed solutions to rein in Washington regulations, and at the VA specifically, made it easier for veterans to receive private care. And, we’ve done all this while cutting our own budget in Congress by $782 million. While these accomplishments mark progress and aim to fix the problems of a bureaucracy that is too big and too expensive, many times constituents need more immediate help cutting through the

red-tape and unanswered help lines. That is why in Ohio’s 8th Congressional District, my office stands ready to provide excellent constituent services every day to those in need of assistance. This year alone, we have already assisted more than 600 individuals, veterans, families, businesses, and emergency responders across the district. In October, for instance, we stopped the IRS from overcharging a police officer in West Chester on his federal taxes due to an error in how they calculated his income. Earlier this year, we filed a successful appeal for a family in Eaton with the VA to cover the burial benefits for their mother, an Army nurse who served in World War II. And very recently, we assisted the City of Fairfield Fire Department in securing funds to enhance their operation and enable them to obtain critical lifesaving equipment. Serving constituents in Ohio’s 8th District is the most important part of my job. As someone who ran his own business, I value excellent customer service and there is no reason we shouldn’t expect that from our government. My office’s door is open.

My daughter…role model and mentor

RYAN BERRY If anyone has read my MANAGING column for anyEDITOR amount of time or has seen my Facebook and Instagram posts, they understand my oldest daughter is unique. The comments my wife and I get from other parents always leave us scratching our heads…”We love your daughter”…”Your daughter is so fun to be around.” It really throws us for a loop because we are usually ready to apologize for anything she might have said or done. The conversation often goes something like this… Other Parent - I have to tell you what your daughter did. Us – We’re sorry. Other Parent – No! It wasn’t anything bad.

Us – (We stay silent as our hearts restart, but are still hesitant thinking the hammer is going to drop with their next words.) Other Parent – She is so funny... (Then they begin to list whatever antics she may have done.) We have become immune to anything she does and it doesn’t bother us. I guess you could say we have become desensitized, but we get a little concerned when other people become involved in her schemes. We almost always know when she is up to something, especially if she is doing it while we are in the same building or in the proximity of where she is. She is not very stealthy. The other day I asked her to do something for me and she did it right away. That was our ﬁrst clue. The second was when she hurriedly passed by us in the living room without looking up. She got to the front door and something

inside me instinctively yelled “STOP.” She paused, but would not look at us. I asked her to turn around. She hesitated, but slowly turned around while making sure she was partially hidden by the door. I could see through the small window pane she had been experimenting with her makeup, again. She ﬁnally emerged from behind the door and without missing a beat my wife says, “It’s not your best work.” I’m still not sure if she made the challenge or if she was challenged, but how could she possibly pass up a drag queen makeup challenge. I tried to explain she was already a girl and she couldn’t be a drag queen… It was like I was talking to myself. I did see the picture of the other girl in the challenge. I have to admit they both did a great job. They achieved their goal; they both looked like guys trying to look like girls.

We consider this normal for our oldest daughter, which is why when another parent asks us if our daughter can help her youngest daughter we feel the need to remind them of her uniqueness. She explained her daughter has the same type of sense of humor as our daughter and needs help creating her You Tube videos. Her daughter goes around chanting phrases from the videos my daughter has put online. To give you an idea of what they are dealing with, I’ll give you a few of the titles from my daughter’s videos – Foodie Makeup Tutorial, Pickle on a Stickle and Kylie Jenner Makeup Tutorial. With hindsight being 20/20 I almost feel guilty about rolling my eyes every time she unveils a new project. I should be taking pride in my daughter’s eccentric behaviors. After all, she was only being a role model and mentor.

F i f t y years ago this week, aging in America was forever changed for SHERROD the better. BROWN U.S. SENATOR At the Truman Library in Independence, Mo., President Lyndon B. Johnson signed a new law creating Medicare and Medicaid. Sitting beside him was former President Harry Truman, who would become Medicare’s first beneficiary – some two decades after he first proposed a similar health care system. On July 1, 1966, more than 18 million American seniors joined him. Before the passage of Medicare, a third of our nation’s seniors lived in poverty. Only half had health insurance, and for those that did, insurance usually only covered visits to the hospital. Many faced discrimination based on age, preexisting conditions, and race.

Now, thanks to Medicare, 54 million seniors and people with disabilities have access to guaranteed healthcare beneﬁts. Medicare helped to cut the poverty rate of seniors in half by 1973—less than ten years after its passage. Medicare completed the promise made by the Social Security Act, passed three decades earlier: that in old age, Americans won’t be on their own. We as a country have a duty to make sure that people who have worked hard their entire lives spend their twilight years with their grandchildren, not worrying about medical bills. And Medicare was so much more than a public health bill—it was also a civil rights bill. The passage of Medicare brought the desegregation of southern hospitals. More than 1,000 hospitals were integrated in less than four months after the passage of Medicare, and the disparities in health between black and white Americans

shrank. However, our work to end disparities in health care did not and cannot end with the passage of Medicare and Medicaid ﬁve decades ago. Access to affordable health care in America remains segregated along race and class lines. The uninsured rate is up to four times higher for African Americans and Latinos than whites. Over the past ﬁve decades we have worked to improve Medicare, and make it work even better for our seniors.

Hospice care is now a covered beneﬁt. We have added a signiﬁcant number of preventive services. And the recent health care law made additional improvements to Medicare – like expanding free preventive care services and closing the prescription drug coverage “donut hole” by 2020. Fifty years from now, I have little doubt that we will be celebrating the 100th birthday of an even stronger Medicare.

Gruenberg joins Browns as a trainer GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

CLEVELAND – Greenville native and 2011 GHS graduate, Kurt Gruenberg has accepted a fulltime Athletic Trainer position with the NFL Cleveland Browns football team. “I am so blessed and so thankful for what God has given me,” said Gruenberg. “I really hope to be a light in this culture so few get to be a part of. Attending both GHS and Cedarville have prepared me for what lies ahead.” Greenville head varsity soccer coach Brent DeVoss is not surprised at the quick rise to the top for his former Green Wave soccer standout. “Kurt always showed leadership,” said DeVoss. “Really stuck with it. Always willing to work that extra hour after practice… before practice. Always

asking, ‘hey coach can you help me with this… can you stay’.” “First to practice… last to leave, from the time he was six years old when I asked him to come out and play on our Darke County Select team” continued DeVoss. “All the way through high school.” “Kurt was a captain for me for two years through the high school program,” DeVoss added. “Went on to Cedarville to play soccer. Really great attitude. Positive attitude.” Gruenberg was named the most valuable offensive Green Wave soccer player his senior year under Coach DeVoss and was a member of the GHS National Honor Society. “I had a great experience,” said Gruenberg of his years in the Greenville school system. “Loved the school district and I felt they did a good job preparing me for my future.”

GHS girls soccer knocks off alumni BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Lady Wave soccer team took a 5-2 win over former Greenville girls soccer players in the annual Alumni Soccer game on Aug. 8 at Harmon Field. “We got off to a good start,” said Greenville girls soccer coach Steve Shepard. “They had some holes in the defense and we took advantage of it and got shots.”

The Lady Wave found the back of the net ﬁrst in the contest and never looked back scoring four ﬁrst half goals while coasting to a 5-2 win over the Alumni Ladies. “I was real proud of the girls,” Shepard said. “We jumped out quick… a position we are not normally used to being in.” “Everyone seemed to have a nice time and no one came away injured.” Shepard stated. “The kids are working hard.”

Greenville graduate Kurt Gruenberg lands full-time job with the NFL Cleveland Browns

Gruenberg remembers fondly his many years playing soccer on the ﬁelds in Greenville and the qualities Coach DeVoss instilled in him. “Coach DeVoss was my coach growing up playing on the Darke County Club team,” said Gruenberg. “He was a great mentor, a great leader, always knew what I needed to hear and when. I have nothing but great things to say about him and the work he is doing currently with the GHS soccer team.” Upon graduation from GHS, Gruenberg enrolled at Cedarville University in the fall of 2011 where he entered the athletic training program while playing JV soccer for the Yellow Jackets. While a student at Cedarville, Gruenberg was selected by program faculty and the program director to represent Cedarville University in a pilot athletic training student internship program with the Cincinnati Bengals where he spent the entire 2013 season with the NFL

football team. “I essentially got my ﬁrst chance in Cincinnati on a last minute decision by the head athletic trainer there, Paul Sparling,” said Gruenberg. “It was a huge jump going from a small town Division II school to professional sports but I feel I was well trained and prepared to handle it.” The following year the Bengals decided not to continue the program but Gruenberg had left his mark and laid the groundwork for future employment. The Bengals head trainer made arrangements for Gruenberg to get interviewed by the Browns at a Bengals-Browns game where he was immediately accepted by the Browns for the 2014 season as a training camp student intern where he spent the 2014 training camp with the Browns at the team facility in Berea, OH. During camp, the Brown’s formally asked Kurt to remain with the team after his graduation from Cedarville to stay on

on the ﬁeld. “It’s just a great time for everybody.” With only one player lost to graduation from the 2014 GHS team, the Green Wave boys looked much improved over the very young 2014 team. “Coming a long way possession wise,” said DeVoss. “We controlled. Just missed some opportunities. Alumni really put a lot of pressure on us. Outsized, out muscled… but with our possession game we were able to stay right in it for quite a while.” “Just missed some opportunities especially there at the end,” added DeVoss. “Missed a couple on the keeper there that could have tied it up really quickly. We held in there

some in helping me figure out what I wanted to do with my life,” said Gruenberg. “A big reason why I wanted to be an athletic trainer was because while I was at GHS we did not have a full time athletic trainer. I am a firm believer every high school, no matter the size needs an athletic trainer to help better protect their athletes.” “My family have been major supporters through my life,” Gruenberg said. “They have taken me to sporting events, been there for me through the good and bad times and supported me going to Cedarville. They were always there whenever I needed them.” Gruenberg is engaged to me married to Kaleigh Rowlands, a Northmont soccer phenom and current captain of the Cedarville Lady Jackets varsity soccer team. Rowlands will be a senior this fall at the University. “My fiancée has been a major supporter of mine these past four years,” Gruenberg added “She knows and understands what it takes to be an athletic trainer’s wife and our crazy schedules unpredictability.” With the new football season underway, Gruenberg spends up to 17hours a day at this job, a job with responsibilities that includes rehabilitation, prevention, setting up the practice field with water and Gatorade, assisting the head athletic trainer, packing essentials for home and away games among a lot of other random jobs.

Alumni show they can still play soccer GREENVILLE – The Greenville boys soccer team jumped out to a 1-0 advantage at 28:14 in the first half over the alumni team on Aug. 8 before falling by a 4-2 final score at Harmon Field. “Four or five college players out there tonight,” said Greenville boys soccer Coach Brent DeVoss. “Some of my disciples from previous teams working hard. You have some egos out there from the alumni that want to show what they still have, so they play a little harder.” “It’s just a fun time, fun atmosphere,” added DeVoss. “Gives me my little five minutes of fame back

which is really good for us going down the season here.” Many former Wave players make the trek back to Harmon Field each August to suit up one more time for a game they love. “They like to come back,” DeVoss stated. “Good turnout for us. They enjoy coming back. It keeps them connected with the program. We had

them come from Chicago, all over the place to play today.” “It’s really good for the high school players to learn and see what’s going on and what to look forward to,” added DeVoss. “It’s a great group and when you see your players coming back it is really a special moment for me just to see my guys coming back.”

as a Seasonal Intern. By selecting Kurt, the Browns were essentially grooming him for a full time job with the team when an opening became available. Gruenberg does not see major differences in his job from high school or college to the pros ranks. “I get asked all the time what’s the biggest difference,” Gruenberg said. “My answer is… nothing! These guys may be bigger, stronger and faster but they get hurt the same way as everyone else. They have the same issues.” “The biggest difference is just my responsibilities,” continued Gruenberg. “Being a seasonal athletic trainer, meaning I am here all year traveling with the team, I have been given a lot of autonomy to do things.” Even though still considered young for the job, Gruenberg has the respect of the NFL players. “Most of the guys are great. They are really receptive of our profession and have a great understanding of what we do,” stated Gruenberg. “By the time these guys have made it to the NFL they have been stuck in the training room rehabbing one thing or another, so at this point they have a grounded respect for us and what we do.” Gruenberg is quick to give credit to the many that molded him on his journey to the NFL including his former Green Wave varsity soccer coach. “Coach DeVoss was a major inﬂuence in my life. All the teachers were awe-

Gauntlet continues to challenge runners BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Light Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth annual Gauntlet 5K adventure race took place Aug. 8 at Chenoweth Trail in Greenville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Excellent turnout,â&#x20AC;? said Greenville native and Light Foundation Founder Matt Light. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to tell when you are looking at 600 acres, but we had a great turnoutâ&#x20AC;Ś a lot of great runners.â&#x20AC;? The Gauntlet is full of military-inspired obstacles that challenges participants to use teamwork to move through the course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough course,â&#x20AC;? said Light. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are looking at 22-Obstacles and a lot of mud. Ups and downs. There is not level terrain. Every step your body is working hard to counteract different forces. The Greenville Unit of the Ohio National Guard had a large presence at the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events with a display of military vehicles, weapons, tents, obstacle coursed for the kids and a large number of Soldiers in uniform. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Matt Light) outstanding,â&#x20AC;? said First Sergeant Dale Hass of the Greenville Unit of the Ohio National Guard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He does a lot of things for our unit. He allows us to bring our unit down here and show the community a little bit of what we do.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I ďŹ rst got transferred to this unit; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m from Cincinnati, I thought Greenville - Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure what they even have in Greenvilleâ&#x20AC;Ś cornďŹ elds I guess,â&#x20AC;? said Haas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ďŹ rst got out here and you really have a nice city. The support in the city is just fantastic for this unit. You can really feel it

everywhere you go. We are constantly being thanked for what we do which really means a lot to the soldiers to know that they are appreciated.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to know that we have a community like that,â&#x20AC;? said Light. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They honored me with this Calvary Hat and its humblingâ&#x20AC;Ś itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremely humbling. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been fortunate to go over on USO Tours with General Dempseyâ&#x20AC;Ś work with the men and women that serve this country through my time with the Patriots, taking wounded warriors out on hunts and do things with that organization.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just always amazed how they continue to do more for those around them and in this community too,â&#x20AC;? added Light. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These guys do a lot in this communityâ&#x20AC;Ś so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Gauntlet is for a great cause,â&#x20AC;? said Nick Schuckman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything raised goes back to the Light Foundation. What we do allows us to be help reach out and work with the different kids in different communities and the different programs.â&#x20AC;? Light was quick to give thanks to everyone making the day a large success including all race participants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of our volunteersâ&#x20AC;Ś we have so many volunteers and the National Guard are out there on the course,â&#x20AC;? continued Light. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope when they leave here they say you know what, I helped make this possible. They should take ownership of it no different than the people that have spent countless hours out here busting trails and doing all that work. They should take ownership of Chenoweth Trails.â&#x20AC;?

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The 2015 edition of Green Wave football team took to the ďŹ eld at 8:00 AM Saturday morning for their ďŹ rst ofďŹ cial practice of the season under the leadership of head coach Aaron Shaffer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting to get started,â&#x20AC;? said Shaffer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told the kids I think I woke up at about four oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock this morning chopping at the bit to get out there and get to work.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that time of yearâ&#x20AC;Ś youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re full into itâ&#x20AC;Ś getting two sometimes three practices a day,â&#x20AC;? continued Shaffer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Really getting everything installed; special teams, offense, defense, all the little things that you have to do right to be successful come august the 28th.â&#x20AC;? The practice schedule indicates organization is important to the Green Wave football programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success. Player equipment has been handed out with each player in possession of what is needed on the ďŹ eld. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This morning we hit the ďŹ eld at eight oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock and go for about an hour and 45minutes working our typical offensive practice,â&#x20AC;? said Shaffer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take about an hour to an hour and 15minutes break and go back out at 11:00 and go for another hour and 45-minutes on the defensive practice.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We start in our individual groups and we go to a special teams period,â&#x20AC;? continued Shaffer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then we do our group periods which are our inside run where we are working on our running game blocking shields. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We go back to a special teams period and throw

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Both Greenville and Wilmington football teams looked good in an early season scrimmage the morning of Aug. 11 at Harmon Field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My general feeling was it was a good scrimmage,â&#x20AC;? said Greenville Coach Aaron Shaffer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wilmington is a team that was 8-2 last year. They plan to be good again this year.â&#x20AC;? Each team would punch in several touchdowns on the day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as the game play goes, it was toe-to-toe and a fairly evenly matched scrimmage today, so you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel too bad about that,â&#x20AC;? Shaffer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you take a team like a Wilmington who was 8-2 last year and probably that good again this year and be able to play with themâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? Like the offensive teams, the defensive side of the line also showed signs of excellent play making for an evenly played scrim-

mage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today is just a practice,â&#x20AC;? stated Shaffer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was telling the kids, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scrimmage in terms of the number of touchdowns you score and things like that because the truth is, probably 85-percent of the plays that were called today were called last night in front of a computer on a script. They are things we want to see on ďŹ lm.â&#x20AC;? Both teams came through the scrimmage without any major injuries but not before the Green Wave got a scare when Aaron Rich was ďŹ&#x201A;ipped upside down while hanging onto a completed pass for a big gain. A few minutes on the ground was all Rich needed to get his legs under him and soon was back on the ďŹ eld for the Wave.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We talk about that and expectations that go along with that,â&#x20AC;? said Shaffer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are representing yourself, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re representing your family, your school and your couches.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of people that get really excited about football. That is one of the great things about growing up in Ohio and playing football in Ohio,â&#x20AC;? Shaffer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has a rich tradition and people want to see your football team succeed.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no question that that once you play footballâ&#x20AC;Ś you are always a Green Wave football player,â&#x20AC;?

As autumn approaches thoughts turn to returning to school for the children. A visit to the old, three period schoolroom should bring back memories for all ages. Don’t forget to stop by the Tiger Room and relive the glory days of football in Tigertown as they prepare for a new season of thrills.

They are open each Sunday from 1-4 p.m. with a full staff to give tours. Feel free to ask questions or sit a spell and visit. Special tours can be arranged for any size group by calling the museum ofﬁce at 5264222. The gift shop is still running special on all Annie Oakley apparel items and there are still copies of their book “All Roads Lead Home” along with other area authors available for some great reading. If you aren’t a member of the Versailles Area Museum - why not? It takes a village and in this case, nine to create the museum. Come and be a part of sharing and preserving our story for the next generation.

RICHMOND, Ind. – Reid Health Hospital is among the nation’s top 16 hospitals for infection prevention, according to a study released by Consumer Reports. The 16 are recognized in the September issue of the magazine, which includes an in-depth story about hospital safety and infection in a review of more than 3,000 U.S. hospitals. The review looked at data on various infections and speciﬁcally on a bacteria known as MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus) and C. diff (clostridium difﬁcile), which are common challenges for hospital infection

control. “Hospitals really begin to distinguish themselves when they earn high ratings against both infections,” the Consumer Reports article says. “Even better, some hospitals excel against not only MRSA and C. diff, but also other infections that the Centers for Disease Control tracks and that are in our ratings.” Craig Kinyon, Reid Health President/CEO, said the recognition underscores many years of focus by the Reid Health system on patient safety and infection prevention. “We have long had full-time Infection Control and Patient Safety ofﬁcers that work every day

on preventing infections. Of the many national indicators of quality and safety that we track and report on, we are especially proud of this indicator as it arguably points to patient outcomes and lives that are saved,” Kinyon noted. “We spend much time and resources on educating our staff and practicing the highest standards to prevent hospitalacquired infections.” Greg Carter, Infection Control Practitioner for Reid Health, said Reid follows extensive protocols in the efforts to identify and prevent spread of infection. That includes monitoring

hand-washing compliance with “secret shoppers,” technology that alerts the infection prevention team when a lab result is positive for a multi-drug resistant organism, and other measures that help isolate any infections to keep them from spreading. “All staff are our infection prevention liaisons and take patient safety very seriously,” Carter said. “We are a multi-disciplinary team that works closely with our physicians, pharmacists, lab team, environmental services and others to make Reid Health a safe and clean environment.”

Bridges to College awards 14 scholarships BOB ROBINSON

ASSOCIATE EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Bridges to College awarded 14 scholarships in a ceremony at Memorial Hall Aug. 10, totaling over $83,000 in scholarships over the past seven years. According to Bridges President Bill LaFramboise, the program which started in 2006, focuses on mentorship through volunteers, college visits and other forms of programming, and scholarships. The organization has helped 91 recipients achieve their college goals. Participating schools are Greenville High School, Ansonia High School and (just starting this year) Franklin Monroe High School. This year’s recipients are, New: Jacob Butsch, GHS; Chloe Lance, GHS; Tyler Landis, GHS; Masen Rich, GHS; Second Year: Shanelle Smith, GHS; Taylor Bergman, Ansonia; Haleigh Luce, GHS; Cole Ward, GHS; Third Year: Austin Bergman, Ansonia; Sydney Hunt, GHS; Brittany Ulman, Ansonia; Erica Waller, GHS; Fourth Year: Christina Cost, GHS; and Mason Perez, Ansonia. The ceremony included a presentation from new recipient, Tyler Landis. According to Anne McKinney, Bridges to College Executive Director, they don’t usually ask a new

recipient to talk about his experience but Tyler’s was an unusual one… His goal is to become a ﬁlm director/actor and he had participated in a program known as Fresh Films at Aurora, IL. The company provides teens with the opportunity to get experience on what it’s like on the set of a Hollywood movie. He was there for six days and learned about many different aspects of ﬁlm production. “I was able to work the camera, do the ‘slate,’ help direct and do some of the prop work,” he said, adding he would do it again. “I loved it! Being on the set with the actors and crew… it was fantastic!” He noted the second day was his favorite “because I got to read script with one of the actresses.” Tyler’s mother, Amanda Magato, said she wasn’t excited about his decision when he told her. “I wanted him to make a safe career choice,” she added. But someone told her something that changed her mind… “Imagine if Stephen Speilberg had chosen a safe career. The world needs more dreamers and doers,” she said. “From then on I decided I would not hold my kids back from doing what they are passionate about.” Get more information about Bridges to College and this year’s recipients at Bluebag Media.

huh?” She talked about seeing a baby fawn… baby foxes. “We have a family of raccoons living in that tree over there,” she added. Other visitors to (and inhabitants of) the habitat include a hawk, frogs, deer… she doesn’t like the deer eating her plants but lives with it. The frogs have made a small, six by nine pond their home… “You have to see this video,” she said, excited, as she pulled out her phone. It was a 30-

second clip of a hummingbird ‘eating’ outside her kitchen window. “This is an honor, something special,” she said of the certiﬁcation. “It means you protect the wildlife. You provide food, water, cover and places for them to raise their young.” During the tour she checked some of the bluebird nests, noting the birds aren’t very sociable. They won’t eat with other birds. She found eggs in one

Early Bird supports GHS cheerleaders GREENVILLE – The Greenville High School Cheer Squad recently thanked The Early Bird – Bluebag Media for its donation to the team.

Two school districts to have in-house youth advocates

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Residents of the Village Green Health Campus generally receive assistance from others throughout their day, but they recently turned the table and helped others in the Darke County Community. Residents and their families joined with staff members to give non-perishable food items and a check to the Grace Resurrection Community Center (GRCC). Sharon Fellers, executive director of GRCC, noted the need for food and cash donations continue to be on the rise. The number of people that use the service from GRCC continues to increase. “This helps keep our shelves stocked,” she said. Cash donations are also turned into food on the shelves as a lot of the food is purchased through Shared Harvest. Shared Harvest has a goal

ARCANUM – Turn onto a gravel “Lane” and follow it past the gate into a wooded area. It’s a different world… there’s an outhouse and an old-fashioned water pump at the edge of the woods. Shortly after that is the first sign: “Certified Wildlife Habitat” from the Wildlife Federation. A little further down is another habitat sign. Then the house comes into view. “It’s a blessing to live here,” said Halane DeShane, a special education teacher in Greenville City Schools. She and her husband Dawson purchased five acres of property 12 years ago, carved out a small section for the home they built, and created a wildlife sanctuary for the rest. “It was kind of a habitat,” she said, adding it was not something she’d really planned to do. A friend who had visited told her she should get the property certified. So she did. “We have over 50 different varieties of birds,” DeShane said. “Crazy,

of the nests. “They raise two families a year,” she said. DeShane pointed out the outhouse and water pump… “We bought them at auction. The outhouse was still in use, so it had to be unhooked. On the way back here, for no reason at all, it started bouncing on the back of our Blazer and landed on the highway…” Several workers saw it happen and helped them load it back up. One of them laughed and said, “We’ve never seen a (censored) on (SR) 571 before.” DeShane spends about eight hours a week on average working the acreage. “Sometimes I could spend days and days and days and still feel like I haven’t accomplished much.” She regretted not having started something like this a long time ago, adding these were some of the things she always thought she might want to do some day. “Now I’m doing it. I’m just not getting paid for it.” DeShane hoped people would understand the importance of the ecosystem and how the food chain works. “They just don’t realize how important it is.”

GREENVILLE – Two Family Mentor/Youth Advocates should be in place by the beginning of the school year, according to Jeff Vaughn, Director of Gateway Youth Programs. One will be at Tri-Village High School; the other at Mississinawa Valley High School. Interviews will begin shortly for the two part-time positions. The original grant application had called for a third one at the Gateway ofﬁce in Greenville. However that won’t happen this year. “We’re happy to be awarded,” Vaughn said. “The Department of Education set aside $10 million, but did not anticipate the 181 organizations that submitted grant ap-

plications. We asked for $176,178; we got $89,716.” It has also been changed to a one-year grant. He has made adjustments in his plan accordingly. Vaughn has just returned from Columbus where he and the other organizations were given training within the parameters of the grant. “It’s scary in a sense (one year grant); it just means we need to establish a good program and get the community behind it.” The purpose of the program is to reach at-risk kids. “The whole idea is to provide a support system for the students, be positive role models. They need to know there is a future for them.” Vaughn said he saw multiple approaches from different organizations while in Columbus. One of them, for instance, was

only going to use one-onone mentoring. That’s just one of three focuses he plans for Gateway’s Community Connector Program. Component 1 is the Mentor/Youth Advocate who will be positioned at each of the two high schools. Each District will also have a faith-based partner. For Tri-Village it is Cedar Grove Baptist Church in New Paris. For Mississinawa Valley it is First Baptist Church in Union City. Component 2 is the oneon-one mentoring. “This is not limited to the two school districts,” Vaughn said. “We are looking for volunteer mentors from all districts.” And there doesn’t have to be a lot of time involved. “This could have a big impact on the kids, and on the community.” All volunteers will get

background checks. Component 3 is the business partnership. The list of partners has grown considerably since Vaughn began publicly talking about it in February. “We would like to have more,” he added. “Eventually we’d like to have a Mentor/ Youth Advocate in every district. Reaching these kids will be a big step in helping to build the workforce.” In order for that to happen, Gateway needs business partnerships. Current partners are Wayne HealthCare, Midmark, Darke County Economic Development, H&M Precision Concrete, Norcold, Greenville National Bank, Family Health, DC Wellness & Recovery Center of Midwest Ohio, State of the Heart Hospice, OSU Extension Ofﬁce, and Darke County Chamber of Commerce.

Where’s Waldo helps spark fellowship

Shown are employees of Citizens State Bank presenting a check to Second Harvest Food Bank.

Citizens State Bank helps local charities UNION CITY – Citizens State Bank employees joined together in raising money for their “Jeans Fund” to help local charities. As a result of donating $5 once a month to wear jeans on a designated Friday, they were able to raise over $3,000 to contribute. With the countless needs in their communities, they decided to help more than just one agency by contributing $1,000 to three different organizations. Employees were able to nominate a nonproﬁt they felt was in need, resulting in the top three voted on by the bank’s “Fun Committee”. The bank presented the ﬁrst check to Second Har-

vest Food Bank of East Central Indiana. They began their service in 1983, covering eight counties in distributing food to make a difference in the lives of those in need of food assistance. The organization relies on the generosity of others who are willing to donate and with this $1,000 donation they will be able to provide over 4,000 meals to families in need! Citizens State Bank is a fourth-generation family owned bank based in New Castle, IN with 13 branches covering six counties throughout central Indiana. For more information, visit wwwcitizensstatebankindiana.com or call 888-529-5450.

GREENVILLE – Many of you know of the “Where’s Waldo” fad that started back in 1987. In the U.S., we are familiar with “Where’s Waldo” or “Wally” while in Canada it’s “Where’s Charlie”, “Where’s Walter” in Germany, “Where’s Ali” in Turkey, “Where’s Eﬁ” in Israel and “Where’s Willy” in Norway. In total, these books have sold well over 50 million copies and are still selling today. Waldo Fine, one of Brethren Retirement Community’s residents, is all too familiar with these books, and he would have appreciated the books much more at the time if we would have decided on one of these other names or a name like Winfred or Woodrow to keep the alliterative ﬂow. He said it all started at the Preble County Fair, everyone and their brother would come and ask, “Where’s Waldo?” and he would respond with a witty retort like “It’s a city over by Columbus” or “What’s it to ya?” Those unfavorable feelings drifted away in time, and today the famous “Where’s Waldo” is inducing conversation, fellowship, and fun for this 93 years young BRC resident. After moving here, Waldo became good friends with Terry Thoreen, a resident of Chestnut Village. Before Terry even knew Waldo,

Waldo Fine poses with the Where’s Waldo puzzle he had help working on.

Terry would see him in the halls and say, “Hey Smiley!” Waldo has a smile and a personality that could brighten up any room. Thoreen is well-known around BRC for being the king of the wood shop. He can make just about anything you need, and he is incredibly creative. Terry was the Industrial Arts Math Teacher at Newton High School for 30 years, and he shares his gifts with as many residents as he can. Waldo was quick to seek Terry out when he needed a board to do all his puzzle work. Terry not only

made him a puzzle board, but he came back a few weeks later with a “Where’s Waldo” puzzle that he wanted Waldo to work with him. After a week of incessant puzzling, they completed it! The last piece was put in recently with their old neighbors Rosie and Raymond Grisez. This was not your average puzzle, they had strange shaped pieces, and each and every one of them had little Waldo’s all over them! It took major strategy to get it done in such a short amount of time, and more than that, the friend-

ship and family time that transpired out of this single random act of kindness is unforgettable. Waldo had several people visit and put a few pieces in the puzzle, and it turned into wonderful fun that many residents have joined in on talking about. This is the kindness, fun and comradery that happens at Brethren Retirement Community that makes me thankful for working here each and every day. With this, it’s easy to see that it’s the little things that make a big difference.

Unlike any other dysphagia rehabilitation solution available, Synchrony™ enables SpeechLanguage Pathologists and patients to literally “See the Swallow” using virtual reality augmented sEMG biofeedback. This important capability helps Speech-Language Pathologists evaluate the speciﬁc dynamics of a normal, effortful or Mendelsohn swallow in real time, while guiding a series of therapeutic exercise activities that are engaging and fun for patients. While “immersed” in these virtual reality augmented activities, exercise intensity and duration are enhanced for superior treatment outcomes. Speech-Language

Pathologists are also able to capture objective measurement data with this unique system to demonstrate treatment progression and strengthen documentation. “We’re extremely pleased and excited to receive this new tool,” said Facility Rehab Director Shannon Condon, SLP. “We believe that it will truly increase our patients’ quality of life. Our therapy team provides tremendous therapy services for our patients and they are always looking to add the latest advances in the industry to care for our patients.” If you have any questions about the Synchrony™ Dysphagia Solutions by ACP, contact Shannon Condon at 526-0130.

VHCC helps patients with Dysphagia VERSAILLES – Versailles Health Care Center has been chosen by its parent company, Covenant Care, to trial the Synchrony™ Dysphagia Solutions by ACP, a comprehensive system combining evidence-based protocols, advanced therapist training, revolutionary new sEMG Biofeedback system, and ACP’s proven “PENS” e-stim technology. Dysphagia impacts the health and quality of life for millions of Americans. Versailles Health Care Center’s Speech-Language Pathologists now have a revolutionary new tool to improve patient outcomes and recently received training from Accelerated Care Plus on this new system.

The Sheriff is issued Orders of Sales from the Clerk of Courts Office. Sales are advertised in The Early Bird once every week for three consecutive weeks. The Sheriff’s Office does not mail or give away a list of properties or information about purchasing foreclosed property. The properties are not available for tour or inspection as the Sheriff’s Office does not have keys to any properties. Prior to the sale, most properties are appraised

from the outside only. The property is sold “as is”, caveat emptor (let the buyer beware). The Sheriff’s office does not have information on liens or taxes. Real estate tax information can be found at the following web site: darkepropertymax.governmax.com real estate appraisal database. All sales are held in the meeting room of the County Commissioners Building, 520 South Broadway, Greenville. All sales begin promptly at 10:00 a.m.

Personal check (proper ID, local check signed in our presence), cashier’s check or cash is accepted. The buyer will be required to sign a disclaimer that relieves the Sheriff and appraising agents of liabilities of hazards, or past due bills, as it it the responsibility of the buyer to look into these matters before

the sale date. The unpaid balance of the purchase price must be paid at the confirmation of the sale, which is approximately 30 days after the date of sale.

BPW hears needs of local senior citizens GREENVILLE – Members of the Darke County Senior Outreach Committee were the guest speakers at the Greenville Business and Professional Women’s Club (BPW) meeting on May 14. The meeting was hosted by the BPW Foundation committee, which includes Lindsey Gehret and Shirley Morrow and held at the Brethren Retirement Center, Greenville. The Darke County Senior Outreach Committee is a sub-committee of the Tri Council governed by the Area Agency on Aging. The group shared the information that Darke County has a great need for a senior center as the county is one of the highest populations of seniors in the state. Surveys taken by the senior citizens of the county show the need for a center. The committee is making presentations to inform the public of this need and to

garner monetary support for a center. The center would be available for all seniors in the county. The Area Agency on Aging did an assessment and found a need for financial and social support. The center would fill this need. The Darke County Outreach Committee consists of Jamie Brown, Lauren Henry, Barbara Bell, Pam Place, Lindsey Gehret, Mindy Stebbins, Sandy Baker, Beth Bell and Carole Schafer. The group is presently working on procuring the non-profit 501(c)3 status as well as developing a business plan. Contacts with the county commissioners, mayors, local residents and corporations will be made for support. The committee meets on a quarterly basis and is looking for people to partner with them on reaching their goals. Representing the group that evening were Lindsey Gehret, Pam Place,
