GREENVILLE – With the brutal heat and humidity conditions this summer, local emergency personnel remain at risk of dehydration when on the scene for extended periods of time. Local departments, whether it be volunteer-based or not, rely heavily on their budget to stock bottles of water to help ensure responders do not fall victim to the weather conditions. The Brethren Retirement Community delivered cases of water and drink mix to the Greenville Township Rescue and Fire Department on Wednesday to not just help out,

but to say thank you for all they do for the county. “We really appreciate all they do for the community and wanted to bring them a small token of our appreciation and hope others will follow suit and do the same,” said BRC Chestnut Village Manager Jan Teaford. “It is so great all the support the community gives us and want to thank the members of the Brethren Retirement Community for their gracious donation today…I’m sure we will put it to good use,” said Greenville Twp Rescue Assistant Chief Brian Phillips. According to Phillips, the bottles of water will be shared among paramedics and ﬁreﬁghters at the department.

GREENVILLE – Even though they have had numerous expansions since 1996, Whirlpool isn’t through growing its plant in Greenville. Ken Hossler, Plant Lead of Whirlpool’s Ohio Factory Distribution Center (FDC), announced on Aug. 22 the company will once again invest in its Greenville plant. Located across the street from the Whirlpool KitchenAid Manufacturing Center on KitchenAid Way, the FDC serves as Whirlpool’s Ohio distribution center to locations across the globe. The current facility was built in 2008 and is 327,000 square feet. By next April the size will nearly double with an additional 325,000 square feet. Whirlpool will invest $40 million in its Greenville location as part of its goal to invest $80 million in facilities expansions across Ohio. Hossler explained the FDC currently operates three off-site warehouses and also uses space in the factory as a warehouse. This addition will allow the company to consolidate its facilities. “This groundbreaking today is a testa-

Politicians stop by Early Bird fair booth DARKE COUNTY – The Early Bird fair booth welcomed many visitors during the nine-day Darke County Fair, including Darke County’s state representative, Jim Buchy, who was introducing his fellow colleague Dorothy Pelanda from District 86. Pelanda, called Buchy a “dear friend.” “He and I serve in leadership together in the Ohio House of Representatives,” Pelanda explained. “I call Jim ‘Gentleman Jim.’ I have learned more from Jim in terms of diplomacy and how to navigate a bill through the process than any other legislator during my time there.” Pelanda, who worked

for 30 years as a litigation attorney, will run for her third term this November, representing Union and Marion counties. In 2018, Pelanda said she is strongly considering a run for Secretary of State when current secretary Jon Hustead “moves on.” Buchy said he would support Pelanda’s run for secretary of state. “What I really appreciate about Dorothy is that she’s a straight shooter,” Buchy said. The two have worked together on a drug task force, he said. “She runs a tight ship. She will carry on the tradition we have in the secretary of state ofﬁce to run a legal, honest election.”

ment both to the success of our global KitchenAid business as well as our commitment to domestic operations in the U.S. and Ohio,” said Hossler. “We’re continuing to invest in Ohio due to the skilled and talented workforce here, and are looking forward to this expansion’s role in our continued growth. Kelly Szatkowski, distribution manager, said to those that work in the overﬂow buildings, “We ﬁnally made it. It’s very exciting that we’re going to break ground and we’re going to get the expansion

that we’ve been looking forward to. Because you all know what it’s like to move 20 trailers to another building to move them back tomorrow to move them again to ship them next week.” Congressman Warren Davidson said, “Change is always hard with growth, but with it comes opportunities for the whole community. I think the wins the company has had has been exciting for the city.” Safety Service Director Curt Garrison, representing Mayor Mike Bowers and Greenville City Coun-

cil, commented this was the second groundbreaking he’s attended at Whirlpool since joining the city of Greenville, “It seems like the city is almost your adopted family. We get to keep coming to all of these celebrations with you and it is truly a celebration.” Pizzuti, of Columbus, has been hired as the contractor for the project. They were also the contractor for the recently completed addition to the manufacturing center. They are targeting March 2017 for completion.

Two of Whirlpool’s longest serving employees, Steve Thornton (41-years) and Mike Treadway (37-years) took center stage for the ground breaking at the company’s Ohio Factory Distribution Center. They were joined by plant administrators, local ofﬁcials and the construction project contractor.

GREENVILLE –Greenville’s brand new K-8th grade building is scheduled to be completed by Nov. 15, with students set to move in when they return from Christmas break. On Thursday, Aug. 18, board members and administrators conducted their monthly work session at the Ohio Street building site, and were treated to a tour of the state-of-the-art facility. About 120 workers are there on a daily basis to meet the November deadline – with some overtime work being completed on Saturdays. Some of the building’s features are geared to entice learning, for example, extended learning areas where several classes can use at the same time for team-teaching opportunities. Outside courtyards will provide gathering spots for students to use following lunch, as well as stadium seating that also can be utilized for specialized teaching moments. The hallway outside the art room has a Wave green wall that students will be able to draw and write on

with chalk or display artwork. In the cafeteria, which seats 600 students, a special ceiling feature will remind everyone they are in Wave country. Other unique features include:  The elementary gym and cafeteria share a double-sided stage.  A loading dock feature for deliveries.  Security system at main entrance.  Media centers/ computer labs.  Green and gray color scheme for walls, ﬂoors and lockers. Superintendent Doug Fries said a public open house will be planned so community members can tour the new facility. No date has been set, Fries said, but the open house will most likely take place this coming winter after classes resume in January. During their regularly scheduled board of education meeting, board members approved the employment of a new district transportation supervisor. Andrew Grasty was awarded a two-year administrative contact at a salary of $59,000. Grasty resides in Englewood with his wife Kara, a teacher

at Troy City Schools. The couple has two children under age two, Grasty said, and are considering moving to Greenville in the near future. Grasty was previously employed as the transportation director for Vandalia-Butler Schools. “I’m so excited,” he said about his new position. The board also approved lunch prices for the 201617 school year. Lunches for grades K-8 will be $2.75.

The cost for grades 9-12 will be $2.85. Following an executive session at the end of the Aug. 18 meeting, the board re-convened to approve a recommendation that all bus drivers who qualify 4.5 hours or more but less than 7 hours on a regular route will qualify for a 60 percent board payment of health insurance, which previously was a 50 percent board share.

– Georgia Swabb Moody, 69, of Tampa, Fla. and formerly of Gettysburg, died Aug. 13. She is preceded in death by her parents, Pat and Richard Swabb; son, Tony Moody; and grandparents Ben and Rosalie Goubeaux.

ESTEL – In the early morning hours of Aug. 20, 2016, Jesus reached down to Kobacker Hospice in Columbus, Ohio to take the hand of Heather Lynn Tanner Estel and lovingly lead her to the home He had prepared for her. Heather was born July 11, 1980 in Parkersburg, W.Va. to parents Craig and Amy (Bailey) Tanner of Parkersburg, W.Va. Amy is formerly from Greenville. On Aug. 12, 2000 she married John Estel of Fairmont, W.Va., and to this union was born Kirsten Myrie. The family now lives in Marietta, Ohio, where John and Kirsten remain to remember and cherish Heather’s memory. Heather is also survived by her sister, Tabatha Treadway of W.Va. Her grandparents are Glen (waiting in Heaven) and Louree Hanna, of Parkersburg, W.Va., and Kenneth (waiting in Heaven) and Charlotte Bailey, of Greenville; also surviving is her mother-in-law, Rose Estel in Fairmont, W.Va. and father-in-law David Estel (waiting in Heaven), and grandmother-in-law, Florence Estel of Fairmont, W.Va. Heather’s many loving family members include aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins by the dozens and countless friends from all corners of the world. Heather was born with Antenatal Bartter’s Syn-

drome, a rare and life altering kidney disease. Through all her unnumbered trips to hospitals and painful medical procedures, Heather maintained a loving spirit sharing her lifting faith and love with all she met. Her willingness to endure countless medical tests and procedures gave medical science valuable information in the treatment of Bartter’s Syndrome. Three of her favorite people were Brad Paisley and Mary Lou Retton, of West Virginia and Jeff Gordon. She loved Maidrites and Mac and Cheese. Heather will be greatly missed, but “she fought the good ﬁght, her race is won.” The family is deeply thankful to all those of the medical ﬁeld who so lovingly cared for Heather during her journey.

Shown is the Shawnee Prairie log house during the 2015 Prairie Days festival.

Blacksmith Shop and Log House open GREENVILLE – Prairie Days will be a ﬂurry of activity at the log house and blacksmith shop at Shawnee Prairie Preserve. Not only will they both be open, as they are almost every Saturday from 1-4 p.m., but they also will both be housing all kinds of demonstrations. The log house was built from 2003 to 2006 and is based on a turn of the 19th century log home. It opened at the 2006 Prairie Days, which makes 2016 the 11th anniversary of the log house at the festival. It was then and still is a work in progress as it grows in volunteers and items donated every year to support the speciﬁc theme and time period. At Prairie Days this year, the log house will feature many historic trade demonstrations. The blacksmith shop opened in 2013 and features a working forge, bellows, and tool display accommodating almost any project a blacksmith had to tackle. Like the log house, community support played a huge role in its inception. It was built with volunteer labor and donated logs,

and the tools, benches, and bellows all were provided through donations. A blacksmith was essential to any community as he made everything from the heaviest axle and tire to the smallest rivet in a wagon. From the weather vane to the butcher knife, the blacksmith touched almost every aspect of life. Volunteers will be working in the blacksmith shop throughout the weekend, and visitors will see all types of skills demonstrated and observe useful everyday items like “S” hooks and sticks and tommy forged. Follow the sound of hammers ringing to learn more about one of the most essential trades for hundreds of years. Come explore all these demonstrations, talk with the historical interpreters, and enjoy all the other fun, educational, and family friendly activities at the 2016 Prairie Days festival, Sept. 24 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sept. 25 from noon to 5 p.m. The event has plenty of free parking and free admission. For questions or more information, call the Nature Center at (937) 548-0165.

Burn Dog Poker Run raises funds for family

A mariachi band performed during the 15th anniversary celebration at El Camino.

El Camino celebrates 15 years in Greenville GREENVILLE – El Camino celebrated their 15th anniversary on Aug. 25 with a mariachi band performing at the restaurant. They also had other specials and surprises for their customers. Tina Bandedo, manager of El Camino for the past ﬁve years, is very happy with all that has changed since she has taken over as manager. Recently, new furniture has been added, along with TV’s around the restaurant that can be viewed from nearly every table. Another change is the food and menu. She said they use the highest quality ingredients and they are able to keep the cost down because of the buying power they have since her family owns several Mexican restaurants in Ohio and Kentucky. “We use ground sirloin and other fresh ingredients for a quality

product.” She continued, “We have changed how we prepare the food to make it healthier, too.” Bandedo is full of surprises and enjoys working to make the restaurant better. She says she believes in helping the community and does that on a regular basis. She feels you get back much more that you give. Bandedo has plans to open her own restaurant in the near future. The Little Italian restaurant will be making a comeback. There will be a lot to look forward to and something for the kids. Bandedo has four children and knows there are limited options for them as far as entertainment in the area. Keep watching for updates. She wants to thank the community for all of their support and she looks forward to bringing more surprises to the restaurants.

GREENVILLE – The Burn Dog poker run started in 2008 when a group of friends wanted to remember a friend, Louis “Burnie” Wimbley Jr., who passed away in a motorcycle accident, and to help his family provide a headstone for his grave. Since the ﬁrst year was such a success, they continued to hold this event yearly with the proceeds going to local families. They have helped cancer survivors, accident victims, and children with health problems since birth. This year the recipient of the proceeds is a family of four from Greenville, the Bailey family. Three of the four are facing medical issues, and dad, Steve Bailey is the sole provider. His wife, Tracy Bailey, was diagnosed with cancer in October 2013, at the age of 32. Surgeries started in January 2014 with a complete liver resection. Tracy underwent four surgeries in 2014. Due to a tumor on her hip bone, she had a total hip replacement in November 2015. She was on maintenance for a year and a half, but recently started harsh foliri treatments, which come in the form of a week on, a week off, for eight rounds to ﬁght her stage IV cancer. Their daughter, Kaylyn Bailey, was diagnosed with Type 1 childhood diabetes in March 2014 at the

age of eight. She has since learned how to give herself shots, prick herself, and count carbs. An insulin pump gives her insulin 24/7. Steve and Tracy’s son, Parker Bailey had a seizure in March 2016 at the age of 12. He complained of nothing other than a headache, but began stuttering and had the “million-mile stare.” He went into a full seizure, giving his mom quite a scare as paramedics rushed in. All scans came back normal, but that left them with no explanation of why this happened, or what caused it. Steve doesn’t miss appointments and the whole family is grateful that his employer, Clopay, is understanding. According to Tracy, “He’s way too humble. He never takes the praise for what he does for us.” Benjamin and Ashley Hoying, the people behind the Burn Dog Poker Run, have worked to grow this event each year. The poker run will be held Sept. 10 at Hot Rods and Harleys, with sign up from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.; ﬁrst bike out at 1 p.m. Melissa Vore, from Hot Rods and Harleys, will be providing biscuits and gravy before the ride for donations. The event starts off with a 100 mile ride. Once back to Hot Rods and Harleys it is more of a family event with door prizes,

The Bailey Family, Steve, Tracy, Kaylyn and Parker, are shown with Benjamin and Ashley Hoying.

50/50 drawing, rafﬂe, auction, and bike games. Bike games include: loudest pipes competition, burnout contest with one-of-akind awards, tandem slalom, slow drags, and team slalom. If you wish to contribute to this event, you can do so

by donating door prizes, purchasing Burn Dog apparel, or by contacting Ben Hoying at (937) 417-9464, or Ashley Hoying at (937) 467-1686. You can also ﬁnd information on the event’s Facebook page, Burn Dog Poker Run.

Goldenrods & Asters Hike GREENVILLE – The air is turning crisp, as the autumn season grows closer. It’s time to hike. We are entering one of the best time to get out doors, and Darke County Parks has a variety of walking programs to offer. To kick off the season, meet a naturalist for a goldenrods and asters hike on Sept. 1, 6 p.m., at Tur-

keyfoot Preserve on Bishop Road, just off of State Route 121 South of Greenville. Participants will explore the stunning colors of these fall-blooming ﬂowers. For more information about this or any of the other exciting hikes in this season’s series or other Park District programs, call the Nature Center at 548-0165.

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

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

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

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

When traveling was more difficult than it is now every town, village and community had its own school building. This is where students in the Beamsville got an education in the early 1900s. You may have driven by this monument a hundred times or more on not realized the significance of the monument in the little roadside park off of State Route 121 in Ft. Jefferson. The small quaint little village honored the builders of the town with this special recognition. With department and box stores within an easy 15-20 minute drive from just about anywhere it’s hard to imagine that Darke County’s smallest communities once had their own department stores. The Thomas Department Store was located in Ithaca. New Madison residents might recognize this building. It has changed a little since this picture was taken. It is now home to the New Madison Laundromat. This picture was taken in 1909

ON YOUR MIND

Little Sister finds inspiration from Big Sister Birthdays are supposed to be filled with celebration, cake, and JENNY BRUNS c a n d l e s . EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR It’s a day BIG BROTHERS/BIG SISTERS to reflect SHELBY & DARKE COUNTIES on the past year, and imagine the possibilities for the year ahead. Last March, Big Sister Lisa celebrated her birthday with ambivalence. On a day meant to be celebrated, she received the diagnosis that she had cancer. Lisa knew that her life was going to drastically change. Among those changes would be her relationship with her Little Sister Tina. Lisa had been matched with Tina for almost a year and she knew they both clicked. Tina was a warm, kind, and thoughtful child and Lisa enjoyed planning outings and spending time with her Little Sister. Since they began meeting, Tina’s self-confidence had been steadily increasing and she was maturing into a positive fifth grader. Lisa vowed that she was going to continue meeting with Tina, no matter what obstacles the cancer would throw in her path. It was difficult for Lisa to tell Tina about her disease. Lisa knew that she had to prepare Tina and help her understand why sometimes she wouldn’t be able to meet, or might have to only talk on the phone. Tina cried when Lisa told her about her diagnosis, said Tina’s mother, Renee. Tina was just so worried about Lisa and kept saying that it wasn’t fair. Over the past year, Lisa

underwent chemotherapy and battled her cancer with determination and hope. She is now happy to report that she is in remission. Throughout her chemotherapy, she met with Tina whenever she was feeling up to it. Sometimes outings would have to be cancelled because Lisa’s immune system was too weak To honor her Big Sister, Tina was inspired to help other cancer patients. Last week Tina went to Great Clips and got 10 inches of her hair cut off to donate to Locks of Love. Locks of Love will take the donation and use it to make a wig for a cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy. “We always have fun making arts and crafts together. Some of our best times are when we just take walks in the woods. We always seem to ﬁnd something to talk or laugh about.” “Tina, young and healthy, was refreshing to be around when I was sick” said Lisa. “Lisa means so much to Tina. She has helped my daughter in so many ways. She’s helping to show her how to mature into a smart and polite young woman. I am so thankful for all Lisa does and appreciate everyday that she is in my daughter’s life,” said Tina’s mother, Renee. Lisa and Tina are one beautiful example of what relationships are possible with Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Help sought from Korean War Era Vets GREENVILLE – In preparation for a program to honor Korean War Era veterans at Edison State Community College, the program coordinator, Dr. Vivian Blevins, is seeking the help of the community in two ways. First, Blevins is requesting photos of those from the Miami Valley who were in all branches of the service during the period for a unique display on Nov. 10. The photos may be scanned and sent as attachments to Blevins’ email address at the college. The prints may also be mailed to Blevins at the college, and she will scan them and promptly return the originals to the senders. Because both Korean War Era veterans and their spouses/widows will be recognized at the program, names, addresses, and telephone numbers are being requested so that invitations and information may be mailed.

The program on Nov. 10 will begin with lunch at 11:45 a.m. provided by the Piqua VFW Post 4874. The Piqua Community Foundation is providing expenses for the remainder of the program. There will be music, a speaker, a panel of three Korean War veterans discussing their experiences, displays, and tokens of appreciation for veterans and their spouses as well as for widows, and a ﬂag retirement ceremony. Admission is free, and the public is invited to attend this program to honor those in the military during what has been termed “the Forgotten War.” For more information, contact Vivian Blevins by emailing vblevins@ edisonohio.edu or calling (937) 778-3815. Photographs may be mailed to the college with attention to Vivian Blevins at 1973 Edison Drive, Piqua, Ohio 45356.

If Surber says we need it – we need it RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

In my 20-plus years of working at The Early Bird I’ve had my share of upsand-downs with the county’s elected officials and when I felt it was necessary, I’ve called them out. Suffice it to say, we do not agree on every issue. Although it’s been suggested by an individual, I can guarantee our readers that I, nor my staff, is the shill for any of our public officials. There are times when we receive accusations of wrong doing regarding those in office and we do our part to check them out. Most times those accusations are proven untrue and are not reported. Recently, our county commission has come under fire for their decision to institute an additional $10 license fee tax. By no means do I want to pay an additional fee. I already complain every time I walk into the license bureau to renew my tags. I’m sure I’ll complain even more in 2018 when this tax goes into effect. However, that doesn’t mean those funds aren’t necessary. Without hesitation I will say Jim Surber, Darke County’s engineer, is the

most trusted man in our county government. If he says it, you can bet your last dollar it’s true. I’ve talked with him numerous times regarding the funding his department receives to take care of roads and bridges. His staff has been cut and his funding is nowhere near where it once was, but he continues to do a magnificent job for the county by finding alternative ways to get the job done. Has he been able to do everything he wants? Absolutely not. Will he get to do everything he wants with these new funds? Probably not. His budget for roads and bridges is entirely dependent on the gas tax and license fees. He gets $0 from the county’s general fund. Surber has stated the county is getting less money from the state because the public is buying less gas, which makes sense because we have more energy-efficient vehicles. However, the same number of vehicles, if not more, are traversing our roads and bridges and the cost of materials continues to rise. What do we do? We complain that our roads are horrible and question why they don’t fix them. I’ve read the comments on articles we’ve written

and I’ve heard the cries from residents and I shake my head wondering if you’ve been paying attention. Let’s start with the easy one. The commission cannot legally use these funds to hand out raises to themselves or anyone else. These funds are required to be used for their stated purpose and this is the ﬁrst time since 1992 the county has done anything to increase these funds. The county has actually lost funding during that time period. Surber has also stated a portion of the funds are required to go the city, villages and townships. Then there’s the airport. I’ve talked with the commissioners at length and I’ve questioned them relentlessly regarding this issue. I’ve seen the documentation and we have reported on it many times. Funds from this fee WILL NOT extend the runway. Funds from this fee will be used to widen Chase Road. I will concede this work is in support of the airport project, but I will also stress this is an economic development issue. Business and industry doesn’t come to a community by chance. They come because of the behind-the-scenes work

that is safe. The Secretary of State will also be in charge of obtaining the applicant’s signatures as an electronic copy from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to be used on their voter registration records. Additionally, security measures must also be in place by the Secretary of State to ensure accuracy. This legislation is essential to our state, which is why I was happy to see it signed by the Governor. Under this Bill, Ohio residents could simply submit a voter registration form on-

line including their name, address, date of birth, the last four digits of their Social Security Number and their Ohio driver’s license or state identiﬁcation number. The information provided will then be checked against information at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to ensure each applicant is eligible to vote in Ohio. In this modern age it is important to adjust to the times and that is exactly what we are doing with Senate Bill 63. This Bill provides an easy outlet to be-

that is done. It seems like we want the businesses and industry, but we don’t want to do what is required to get them here. “Make them pay for it,” people have said. That’s not going to happen. Look around. There are other communities that would love to have what we have and would love to have our low unemployment rate. I’m sure they would be more than willing to entice them to come to where they are. I can name one business after another that moved because they got a better deal someplace else. Finally, there are comments this was done behind closed doors. We’ve been reporting on it for at least two months and the commissioners held two public meetings regarding the fee. This has probably been one of the most transparent decisions they’ve ever made. Nothing about this issue has been secretive. They’ve been completely forthright and have not shied away from the fact that Chase Road is a big part of why they’ve agreed to approve the new fee. For me it boils down to one thing. Jim Surber said we need those funds, which can only mean we really need those funds.

Rolling out online voter registration

This past spring the General Assembly was hard at work writing a bill to create an online voter JIM BUCHY registraOHIO REPRESENTATIVE tion system. This legislation was extremely important for our state and ultimately Senate Bill 63, was passed by both chambers and signed by Governor Kasich. Senate Bill 63 establishes a system where Ohioans have the opportunity to register to vote online by requiring the Secretary of State to establish an online voter registration process

come a registered voter and it is my hope that this will get more people to the polls and involved. Expanding ways to register creates new opportunities for Ohioans registering to vote and simpliﬁes the process. Any time I can simplify and remove red tape for my constituents count me in. I am excited that this bill will become effective on September 13 and that we are joining the majority of our states who have already created similar online voter registration systems.

Greenville Varsity Cheer dominates at fair competition GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTYGreenville Varsity walked away with bragging rights at the conclusion of the 26th Annual Great Darke County Fair Cheerleading Competition this past Friday, evidence of their hard work, talent and refusal to give in when things get tough. Taking ﬁrst place in Varsity Cheer and also top honors as the Grand Champions, the excitement from both girls and coaches was obvious. “I felt my heart beating out of my chest waiting for them to announce who won,” said Senior Madison Meade. “When they ﬁnally announced Greenville Varsity, I jumped in the air and screamed. Our squad worked really hard for this and I’m so proud of our big achievement.” According to Greenville coach and coordinator, Stacie Ward, the push of the coaches and many supportive parents this year have come together and put the girls on top. “We work them hard. We’re not their friends, we’re their coaches. We love them so we push them as coaches should push

their athletes. We want to see them reach their full potential and feel the pride that comes from a job well done. Some of them don’t get that yet; that coaches push because they care; but someday they will. And it’s called competition cheer for a reason, we come to win, and on a day like today they love us,” Ward laughed. Facing more than their fair share of injuries already this season, one completely eliminating a squad member from the competition, Greenville had to regroup early on and decide the setbacks wouldn’t be their focus. “Girls have had to pick up some slack and come together as a team,” stated Molly McMiller, co-varsity coach. “They all had to still go out and prove we could do it.” Referring to her squad as very well-rounded, Ward pointed out that each girl brings different strengths to the table. “Senior Taylor Ward, for example, is our little powerhouse. Her tumbling skills and jumps are a real asset to us, and she will try just about anything you ask her to. She has a strong work ethic and it shows,” she stated. “Junior Bailey Ben-

nett has a cheer voice that is second to none. It’s strong, it’s bold. I love it! We need and count on all of our girls in different ways.” Greenville will graduate four experienced seniors from the competition squad at the end of this year, and coaches don’t seem concerned. “We also have eight girls who will remain with us, including five sophomores who have been a great addition to the squad. Those girls will really pick up steam and be strong leaders for us by the time they are seniors if they stay focused and continue to work hard,” said Ward. Speaking for those seniors was Taylor Ward. “Our squad has been working really hard over the summer to come out here and win the fair competition. For us seniors this was our last chance and this is the one we really want; this and GWOC. I’m so proud of our accomplishments and winning Grand Champion was just icing on the cake for our final year.” As an added bonus on the day, Greenville also earned the Spirit Award. “I believe this is the first time in years we have had this much support at the

competition, and we want to thank everyone that came out. They have no idea how much that means to all of the girls in the entire Greenville cheer program,” McMiller added, “and I’m not sure that we have ever received ﬁrst place, overall Grand Champion and the Spirit Award at the fair all in the same year. This is awesome.” Varsity squad members include seniors HaLeigh Dunevant, Meade, Tiona Thompson and Ward; ju-

niors Bailey Bennett, Hope Byrum and Taira Ruble; sophomores Sydney Crews, Ashley Jolley, Jessica Peters, Kenzie McMiller and Alexa Snyder. Also placing in the Varsity Cheer Division were TriVillage in second place and Covington in third. Varsity Dance found Mississinawa in ﬁrst place with Arcanum taking second and Ansonia grabbing third. Other results include PeeWee Dance: Ansonia Youth, ﬁrst; U.C. State-

liners, second; Arcanum Youth, third. PeeWee Cheer: Ansonia Youth, first; Tri-Village Youth Varsity, second; Greenville Youth, third. Junior High Cheer: Tri-Village, first; Covington, second; Arcanum, third. Junior High Dance: Mississinawa, first; Franklin Monroe, second. Ellery Reck of Covington placed first in the junior high individual division with Lexi Shinn of Ansonia taking first in the high school individual division.

Ansonia volleyball downs Union City to remain unbeaten BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

ANSONIA – Coming off a season-opening win over Houston, the (1-0) Ansonia varsity volleyball team got off to a slow start Tuesday evening – dropping the ﬁrst set 25-18 against the visiting Lady Indians of Union City. “In my opinion we started off ﬂat, but were fortunately able to take advantage of their (UC) mistakes and get some key tips that helped us get the win,” said Ansonia Head Coach Craig Riethman. Led by a good defensive effort and big kills by senior Lydia Sink, the Lady Tigers took the next two sets then held off a Union City threat in the fourth set take the match 3-1. Lydia Sink led the way with 30 kills along with Bailey Stammen’s 41 assists in the 4 sets. Aliya Barga was aggressive with her serves giving the Tiger’s four Aces, and senior Traeva Newland closed out a tight game four with a nice play at the net. Leading the Lady Indians in kills was Jazmin Kelsey with nine followed by Kelsey Zimmers and Maci Beam with seven each. Kelsey and Maci

Fair hosts Grand Nationals tractor pull at Darke Co. Fair BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Great Darke County Fair was host to the National Tractor Pullers Association (NTPA) Grand Nationals both Tuesday and Wednesday nights in front of the grandstand. “Two big days of Grand Nationals Pulling,” said Darke County Tractor Pullers Association (DCTPA) Vice President Kyle Schlechty. “We have smoke, we have noise, just a little bit of everything.” “Both nights were action packed,” added Schlechty. “Lots of power, unreal amount of power. “There are people from all over the U.S. coming in here. Some are 6-8 hours away to pull. It’s really is a national event.” “Wonderful show,” said NTPA ofﬁcial Steven Singer. “Great numbers, good crowd. Couldn’t have had a better day. Everything worked out great.” “This is a big deal,” said Darke County’s tractor pulling announcer Duane

Edwards. “People don’t realize how big a deal it is. This little fairgrounds here brings in all these big name tractor and truck pullers.” Tuesday’s session saw five-classes including 2,050-LB Open Modified Mini Tractors, 8,000-LB Open Super Stock Tractors, 6,200 LB Modified Four-Wheel-Drive Trucks, 8,500 LB Light Pro Stock Tractors and 6,200-LB Modified Two-WheelDrive Trucks for a total of 76-hooks on the night. Five sessions were on tap for Wednesday night’s pull starting with the 8,500-LB Light Pro Stock Tractors followed with the 9,300-LB Super Farm Tractors, 8,000-LB Unlimited Modified Tractors, 8,000-LB Open Super Stock Tractors and 2,050LB Open Modified Mini Tractors with a total of 51hooks.

Every time I come in here…open arms. It’s great.” “I come over to help Duane,” continued Washburn. “Duane and I have been friends for years and years. He carries the distinction of being a Hall of Famer so I have to be a little careful, but I do enjoy the opportunity to work with Duane.” “Alan Washburn is a heck-of-a-nice guy,” said

Solar panels will be installed in Versailles VERSAILLES – The Village of Versailles has signed a Power Sales Agreement with American Municipal Power, Inc. (AMP) for up to 2090 kilowatts (kW) of solar-generated electricity and agreed to be a solar “Host Site” bringing further diversity to the utility’s power supply portfolio. The Village of Versailles is a municipal power provider and member of AMP. Through the Versailles Electrical System, Versailles provides power to over 1800 residences and businesses. In February 2016, AMP and NextEra Energy Resources announced a partnership for the development of up to 80 Mega Watts (MW) of solar generation. The projects will be installed behind the meter in AMP member communities. NextEra, through a wholly owned subsidiary, will construct, own and maintain the facilities. AMP will purchase 100 percent of the output for the beneﬁt of subscribing AMP member communities. The Village of Versailles

will be utilizing approximately 3.18 acres of bare ground near the Village’s water treatment plant to allow for the installation of 3,240 solar modules. The modules will have the capacity to produce up to 800 kW of electricity. The Village has contracted to purchase another 1290 kW of solar generation to equal the 2090 kW in the Power Sales Agreement. The AMP/NextEra partnership allows the Village of Versailles to incorporate solar generation at more affordable costs and reduced risk. Under the agreement, The Village of Versailles will retain 50 percent of the solar renewable energy credits (SRECs) and 100 percent of the transmission and capacity credits. The estimated projected cost of power once these credits are factored in is around 3.6 cents/kWh for the next 25 years. Recent studies from the Smart Electric Power Association (SEPA) have indicated an average cost in this region of the country of approximately 6

to 7 cents/kWh for utilityscale solar. NextEra is a financially-strong company with a great deal of experience in solar project development and construction. As the developer/owner of these projects, they assume the construction and operation risks, which bring additional benefits to project participants. Solar generation resources in the power supply portfolio provide benefits to the community as solar facilities operate at high output during hot, sunny afternoons. These are the hours of the day when energy prices are at their highest, making solar an excellent peaking resource. According to Village Administrator Rodd Hale, “The Village of Versailles is extremely fortunate to have land area available for hosting a solar field site. As a Village we have no initial

capital outlay for the project and to be able to receive a portion of our power at this low cost for the next 25 years is a great beneﬁt to both residents and businesses within the Versailles Electric System.” “AMP initiated this partnership with NextEra to bring further diversiﬁca-

tion to our members’ power supply portfolios,” said AMP President/CEO Marc Gerken. “The behind the meter installation of these facilities will bring signiﬁcant transmission and capacity savings to participating members and make solar resources available at extremely attractive rates.”

AMP and NextEra have identiﬁed six sites in Ohio, Michigan, Virginia and Delaware to be completed by the end of 2016. Construction began at the ﬁrst of these sites in July 2016. The Versailles site is scheduled for construction in 2017.

VERSAILLES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Versailles Board of Education met in regular session Aug. 16. During items for discussion, the Board discussed guidelines for the new LED sign that will be placed in front of the board ofďŹ ce in late September. The purpose of the sign is to inform people of school happenings. The use of the sign is for school programs and groups whose purpose is solely for the support of the school district. The board also discussed the idea of a Hall of Fame/ Achievement/Honors was held. After reading multiple types of recognition programs, the board felt any program would need to incorporate two purposes: to inspire current generations of students; and achievements based on post high school graduation accomplishments. This dialogue was an initial step. Many steps need consideration before a decision on any plan is decided and board approved. The board also agreed to hire Versailles Police OfďŹ cer Frank Maus as a part-time School Resource

OfďŹ cer for the 2016-2017 school year with the Food Service Department paying for half of the salary and the remainder of the cost to be paid from the General Fund. During items of action, the board approved numerous motions including appointing a trustee to Worch Memorial Library, an agreement with the Versailles Music Boosters, sporting event workers, supplemental contracts for various organizations, and substitute teachers, bus and van drivers, secretaries, custodians, teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aides, nurses and cafeteria workers. Versailles Board of Education also approved an agreement with Wayne HealthCare to provide sports medicine services to the students/athletes of the Versailles Schools participating in OHSAA sponsored athletic programs for the 2016-2017 school year. The next regular Board of Education meeting is Sept. 20, 7 p.m. at the board ofďŹ ce. Prior to the meeting at 6:30 p.m., there will be review of the 20162017 Federal Funds Allocations.

DARKE COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Brother and sister team Henry and Audrey Allread placed at the top of their categories during the 160th Darke County Fair. Exhibiting in the Darke County Association of Garden Clubs show, Henry, 7, a ďŹ rstgrader at Woodland Primary, won a Junior Rose of Royalty Award with his red Bambino Rose, while Audrey, 10, a fourth-grader at East, earned a ďŹ rst place and Outstanding Artistic Junior Achievement Award for a display of items from her favorite store at the mall â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bath and Body Works â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weather or Not.â&#x20AC;? She called the display â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no weather in the mall.â&#x20AC;? Audrey chose to do a Bath and Body Works display because when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the mall you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t concerned about the weather. Her favorite item from her favorite store is the mini hand sanitizers.

Audrey also won a 2nd place ribbon for a modern ďŹ&#x201A;ower arrangement â&#x20AC;&#x201C; two red carnations with a Harry Lauder walking stick and split leaf philodendron. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy I placed,â&#x20AC;? said Audrey, who is a member of the ButterďŹ&#x201A;y Junior Garden Club, which was founded 33 years ago by her greatgrandmother Charlene Thornhill, also a member of the Ladybug Garden Club for the past 42 years. Thornhill said there are currently 16 members of the ButterďŹ&#x201A;y club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Roses run in our family,â&#x20AC;? she said of Henryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mini rose submission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their grandfather, mother and grandmother also entered arrangements in the county fair.â&#x20AC;? Henry and Audreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandmother, Kim Cromwell, serves as chairman of the fair ďŹ&#x201A;ower show. And their mother, Sara Werner, placed during Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ&#x201A;ower show for her medium-sized zinnia, called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oklahoma.â&#x20AC;?

DARKE COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Matt Strickland, 36, of Arcanum, had a longtime dream to show goats at the county fair. Strickland, who has Down Syndrome, shared his dream with friends at Your Happy Place adult day services and independent provider Christine Hill decided to help make the dream come true. Hill, who has experience raising and showing goats, worked with Bobby Spitler of the Darke County Fair goat committee to see that Strickland had a goat to show Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love goats,â&#x20AC;? Strickland said, explaining he spent several hours watching how to properly show a goat on YouTube. He also worked with Cole Spitler to get some tips on how to â&#x20AC;&#x153;set up the goat for the judge.â&#x20AC;? Another tip Strickland said he learned was â&#x20AC;&#x153;to always look at the judge.â&#x20AC;? On Thursday during the open class Beginner Showmanship, Sticklandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goat knowledge paid off. Judge Karen Smith, who traveled from Tennessee to help judge Darke Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goat

shows, asked Strickland a few questions while he was standing with his goat in the showmanship ring. At the end of the show, Smith said Strickland â&#x20AC;&#x153;did an excellent job. He answered every question I asked him.â&#x20AC;? The Beginner Showmanship show isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for â&#x20AC;&#x153;winning or losing,â&#x20AC;? Smith said, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the learningâ&#x20AC;? so participants can do better the next time.

One point Strickland learned from Smith was how to â&#x20AC;&#x153;make a sandwichâ&#x20AC;? with the goat standing between you and the judge. Smith also told Strickland that he â&#x20AC;&#x153;was the bossâ&#x20AC;? when the goat decided to get a little stubborn in the ring. Strickland also had plans to show in Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nubian 4th class show. For the past 17 years,

Strickland has worked at Suttonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grocery in Arcanum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I bag groceries and help people to their car,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Customers will give me tips.â&#x20AC;? The son of Debbie Clark and step-dad Dale Clark, Strickland said he hoped one day to own his own goat. When asked if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to show goats again, Strickland was quick to answer â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, I am. Goats are easy and smart.â&#x20AC;?

2016 Little Mister and Miss Darke County named BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mermaids, a variety of sea creatures and scuba divers emerged from their underwater kingdom to vie for the titles of 2016 Little Mister Darke County and Little Miss Darke County on Monday, Aug. 22, during the 160th county fair. Set to the theme Under the Sea, 11 boys and 41 girls, ages 3-5, dressed as their favorite sea characters to walk the runway in the Youth Building and answer questions posed by emcee Lorraine Grote. Earning the title of Little Mister was Isaac Rausch, 3, son of Nic and Elisabeth Rausch of Greenville. Dressed as a surfer carrying a shark-bitten surfboard, Isaac assured Grote he had never encountered a real live shark. When it came time to be crowned Little Mister, Isaac was all grins as the royal blue king hat was placed on his head. Chosen as Little Miss was Sierra Johnson, 5, daughter of Dusty and Amber Johnson of Arcanum. When asked by Grote who helped with her colorful lion ďŹ sh costume, Sierra was quick to answer â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mamaw make half of it.â&#x20AC;? Sierra, who is homeschooled, will be in ďŹ rst

grade this year. When asked if she was excited to be named Little Miss, Sierra excitedly answered â&#x20AC;&#x153;yes!â&#x20AC;?

Fitzwater auctions custom table at fair to beneďŹ t local veterans BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; To honor local veterans, the Fitzwater Tree & Lawn Care has set up a silent auction during the 160th Great Darke County Fair. The local business is auctioning a one-of-a-kind tree-based table with a custom glass top. The base was discovered on part of a fallen maple tree, was cut and later sealed by Fitzwater staff members. According to Fitzwater owner David Furlong, the base weighs over a thousand pounds, with the etched glass

top nearly four hundred pounds alone. Fitzwater plans to give all the money raised by the silent auction to the local VFW and American Legion to help with offsetting costs for veteran medical transport costs, etc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a small token of our appreciation for everything they have done for all of us,â&#x20AC;? Furlong explained. The table will remain on display during the fair at the Fitzwater Tree & Lawn Care fair booth, located one midway east of the grandstand. Silent auctions will be accepted through Saturday, the ďŹ nal day of the fair.

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Being in farm country, most of us know by now where the wool sweater sitting in your closet got its start. For those of you still pondering the statement â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it got its start on a farm on the back of sheep. Getting the sheep to give up its furry coat may be the most difďŹ cult part of the entire process. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as though the sheep will climb up into the barberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chair and ask for a trim. For the shearer, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of twisting, turning, bending, kneeling, and lifting while he/she tries to manage an uncooperative animal weighing between 150-200 pounds. Imagine repeating that process for 100,000 animals. Larry Green estimates thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how many sheep he has sheared over the course of his 60-year career. There have been times heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shown up at a farm to sheer one sheep and other times heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been there to shear 300 sheep. Green has also tried his hand at competitive

DARKE COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hundreds gathered at the Darke County Fair Grandstands on Wednesday, Aug. 24, to honor veterans and those who are currently serving in the Armed Forces. One attendee stood almost at attention in the light rain to watch as veterans presented the colors. Three-year-old Samuel Laux attended the service and parade with his grandparents, Air Force Reserve veteran Ed and Teresa Moorman of St. Henry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He kept asking when the parade was going to start,â&#x20AC;? Teresa said. Samuel said he â&#x20AC;&#x153;liked the paradeâ&#x20AC;? portion of the service, nodding his approval of the event. Several units representing the American Legion, VFW and other service groups from Darke County participated in the Memorial Service, sponsored by the Darke County Veterans Service Commission. Guest speaker was Ted Bruner, president and commander of American Legion Post 140 and Veterans Service Commissioner. Bruner told the crowd there were three groups he wanted to address â&#x20AC;&#x201C; civilians with no military experience, families of veterans, and lastly, those who had served their country. He urged civilians to take time to â&#x20AC;&#x153;express gratitude to the soldier next to you.â&#x20AC;? To families with soldiers currently deployed

changed much of the way we work, Green admits very little has changed in the method for shearing sheep. Even though the process continues to be labor intensive, Green takes pride in what he does and he enjoys â&#x20AC;&#x153;getting out and meeting the people. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much difference from one place to another. It keeps it interesting.â&#x20AC;? According to Green, shearers are becoming increasingly difďŹ cult to ďŹ nd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to ďŹ nd somebody to do it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheep

shearers are getting scarce and a lot of them (farmers) are starting to do their own because they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ďŹ nd anybody.â&#x20AC;? That is also evident by the number of shearers competing in the contest at the Darke County Fair. Green pointed out when he started competing there were 15-20 shearers. At this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair there were six. Green encourages anyone interested in shearing sheep to ďŹ nd someone to teach them the craft.

Armed Forces honored during county fair Memorial Service, parade

shearing at several fairs and has had a huge role in the annual Sheep Shearing Contest at the Great Darke County Fair for the past 18-20 years. On Aug. 24, the former Ohio State Fair Shearing Champion announced this would be his last year shearing competitively. In addition, he is also starting to tell his clients that he is cutting back on his workload. For Green, sheep shearing has always been a secondary source of income. He got started when he was 15-years-old and told his dad he wanted to buy a car. His father told him, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get a job.â&#x20AC;? He went to a family friend and asked if he would teach him how to shear sheep. Before long he had enough money to purchase the car. No one can say Green hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been dedicated to his craft. His daughter, Michelle Guillozet, said he was shearing sheep on his wedding day. Green conďŹ rmed the story and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They needed to be done and I needed the money.â&#x20AC;? While technology has

he said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only thing harder than being in the military is loving one who is.â&#x20AC;? Bruner then took time to brieďŹ&#x201A;y review each war Americans had served in since the Revolutionary War. The Revolutionary War, he said, gave us slogans such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;No tax without representationâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tread on me.â&#x20AC;? Citizens had Yankee Doodle and Tea Parties to â&#x20AC;&#x153;remind usâ&#x20AC;? why we fought for independence. The War of 1812 gave us the Star Spangled Banner, then Texas, not yet a state, fought at the Alamo, giving us the slogan â&#x20AC;&#x153;Victory or Death.â&#x20AC;? The Civil War, Bruner noted, also impacted American history â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lincolnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less than three minute Gettysburg Address delivered on soil where thousands died in a war forcing â&#x20AC;&#x153;brother against brother.â&#x20AC;? Bruner also touched on the Spanish-American War, â&#x20AC;&#x153;where Americans died for a belief that all should remain free.â&#x20AC;? Then came the War to End All Wars â&#x20AC;&#x201C; World War I â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where 204,000 Americans lost their lives ďŹ ghting for the freedom of others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learn from history, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bound to repeat it,â&#x20AC;? Bruner stated, moving to the decision to enter World War II after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, on Dec. 7, 1941. The U.S. had attempted to stay neutral while Europe fought the â&#x20AC;&#x153;maniacâ&#x20AC;? who wanted a

THE GREAT DARKE COUNTY FAIR 2016

Thomas named oldest person at the fair

Chicago sells out fair concert; sings hits BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – It was like taking a step back in time for many fairgoers on Sunday night. A band with hits spanning more than four decades, Chicago was the perfect choice to draw a crowd from several generations. For some, the songs were reminiscent of their high school days. For others, mainly the younger generation, they’ve heard the music on the “oldies” station. Nearly 6,000 fairgoers ﬁlled the Grandstand, track and bleachers to hear the band that was one of the ﬁrst to combine rock n’ roll with a horn section. For two hours the original band members, who are nearing 70-years of age,

performed as though they were in their 20’s. Dancing and playing their trombone, trumpet, saxophone, and ﬂute the entire night. They didn’t miss a single note to the delight of the audience. The ﬁrst half of the concert was dedicated to some of Chicago’s newer music, but the second half of the show had fans on their feet, singing and dancing to songs like Hard Habit to Break, You’re the Inspiration, Stay the Night, Feelin’ Stronger Every Day, Saturday in the Park, and 25 or 6 to 4. The band didn’t leave the stage until they played every hit. The Darke County Fair announced the show was a sellout with 5,898 fans in attendance.

FINE ARTS WINNERS

BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com DARKE COUNTY – Greenville resident Lucille Sells Frankman Thomas is $160 richer – just barely. On Monday, Aug. 22, Thomas was named the oldest person at the 160th Great Darke County Fair. The prize money jumped from $100 to $160 this year in honor of the fair’s 160th anniversary. Gregory Peck Sound and the fair board sponsored the 2016 Oldest Person at the Fair contest and prize money. Thomas will soon celebrate her 103rd birthday. She was born Sept. 10, 1913 – a month before the 2015 oldest person at the fair, Roy Weikert, also of Greenville, who will be 103 years old on Oct. 10. This year was the ﬁrst time Thomas showed up for the oldest person at the fair contest, she said with a laugh. “My son had to pay me.” Thomas retired in 1970 as a surgical nurse with Wayne Hospital, now Wayne HealthCare. When she started working, the hospital was located on the same site, but in what was known as the “old March residence.” The name was later changed to Greenville Hospital, before becoming Wayne. It was at the hospital that Thomas met her ﬁrst

husband, Dr. Charles F. Frankman. His wife had recently passed away, leaving behind three children. “I had three children when I first got married,” Thomas said. She and Frankman also had two children – her son Bill Frankman, a retired Greenville firefighter was her fair escort on Monday. After Dr. Frankman passed away, Thomas remarried Charlie E. Thomas, who also had two children by his first marriage. Thomas said she has seven children, 18 grandchildren, “numerous”

great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren. Born in Monroe, Ind., Thomas moved with her family to Darke County when she was four years old. “It’s the best place to live,” Thomas said. She studied nursing at Flower Hospital (now ProMedica Flower Hospital) in Toledo before being hired at Wayne. “I loved it,” she said. “I really got in there and would tell them what to do,” she said of the doctors, again with a laugh. Of raising seven chil-

dren, Thomas said “I loved every minute of it. After the kids were grown, they’d say ‘Mom, I don’t know how you did it.’” Thomas remains active with St. Paul’s Lutheran Church and also attends a monthly luncheon at the Moose with a retired nurses group. So what’s she going to do with her $160 prize – in honor of the fair’s 160th anniversary? “I’ll think about it for a little while,” she said, before going off in search of her favorite fair food – an Italian sausage sandwich.

BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com DARKE COUNTY – From the variety of quilts entered into the 160th Great Darke County Fair Domestic Arts Show, Jeannette Russell really didn’t expect her fox quilt panel to be awarded a rosette. But on Tuesday, Russell of Eaton, joined ﬁve other rosette winners to accept her award. Originally from Darke County, Russell said she’s been entering items in the fair since 2005. “We lived across from Bear’s Mill when I was born. There used to be an old farmhouse on the other side of the street,” Russell explained, sharing stories of her brother putting their sister in a cardboard box and sliding the box into the stream to see if she would go over the falls. “My mom always wanted me to bring my quilts to the fair,” Russell said of her mother, the late Jeraldine Dearing, who worked sewing athletic wear for a local company, then would come home in the evening to crochet, knit or sew. Mrs. Dearing passed away in 2004, the next year her daughter went ahead and entered a quilt into the fair. “I’ve always been a

crafter,” she said. Last year’s Darke County entry – another quilt – received Best of Show. “They (fair ofﬁcials) asked me to enter it into the state fair this year. Again, Russell earned a best of show, netting $187 in cash and a supply of quilt batting from one of the show’s sponsors. “I received three king size, three queen size, one full and one twin size batting pieces,” Russell said. “I won’t have to go shopping for batting soon.” The state fair winner was “unique,” Russell said, because it was a double-

sided or reversible quilt. “My goal every year is to pay for mine and my husband’s fair entry tickets,” she said with a laugh. This year’s county fair earnings totaled $57. “The tickets were $40, so I’ve got $17 left to play with.” Other rosette winners in the Domestic Arts category include Tim Nealeigh of Greenville with an 1857-60 period dress. (The original dress he fashioned his entry from is in a London museum, he said); Don Pearson of Hollansburg who entered a wooden truck; Barb Bohman of

New leaders at Greenville Fire Department RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – With the recent retirements of the city of Greenville’s fire chief and assistant fire chief, some of the younger members of the Greenville Fire Department are getting an opportunity to demonstrate their leadership capabilities. On Aug. 17, two firefighters were promoted to fill vacancies resulting from one of those retirements. Shannon Fritz will now hold the position of Assistant Fire Chief. The position was previously held by David McDermitt who retired at the end of June.

Fritz, a 16-year veteran of the department, was born and raised in Greenville. His duties will now include code enforcement and training certiﬁcation. Joining Asst. Chief Fritz for the swearing-in ceremony were his wife, Jodi, and children, Cheyenne, Calvin, Ty and Ryan. With Fritz moving up from his lieutenant’s position to Assistant Fire Chief, a lieutenant’s position was open.

League of Women Voters announce 2016 Tour of Homes event SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – Three diverse homes will be included in the annual League of Women Voters of Darke County Tour of Homes, slated for 1-4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 18. The public is invited to tour each home, with proceeds from ticket prices going to support voter registration, to sponsor candidates’ night and toward the study and/or action of speciﬁc issues by the League. Properties included for the 2016 Tour of Homes include the downtown Greenville home of Tim and Diana Reeder, 311 W. Third St.; the rural farmhouse of Regan and Sue Bowman, 3534 Beanblossom Rd., Greenville; and the Cape Cod home of Tony and Katie Bonﬁglio, 118 Willow Dr., Greenville. Advance tickets for the event will be on sale beginning Sept. 1. Pre-tour tickets are $8 and may be pur-

chased prior to the tour at four Greenville locations, including The Flower Patch, 104 Rhoades Ave; Helen’s Flowers & Gifts, 1146 Sweitzer Rd.; The Ivy League, 517 S. Broadway; and at the Montage Café, 527 S. Broadway. Tickets at the door will be $10. Tim and Donna Reeder Home The Victorian home of Tim and Donna Reeder is located at 311 W. Third St. The original structure, which was built in 1869, consisted of four rooms – two downstairs and two upstairs with a fireplace/ chimney directly in the middle of the home. There also is an original basement. In 1886, an addition was built onto the home, with then-owner Jacob King Turner using a large downstairs room as his real estate office. The office, which contains an original fireplace, still has the original pocket doors used to separate Turner’s business office from his family quarters. The home features a variety

of woods used in original woodwork. The home also features transoms above most of the doorways, with stained glass artwork completed by Tim Reeder. Transoms were originally included above doorways to provide air circulation. The Reeders have lived in their home for 17 years and have completed a number of improvements, both inside and out. An upstairs bedroom includes a portrait of an unknown woman by local artist, the late Conee Garber. Those who attend the tour also will be treated to some of the Reeders Christmas villages, which will be displayed on ﬁreplace mantles, both upstairs and downstairs. The home also features an upstairs hobby room, which was a former kitchen when the home was divided into two dwellings. The garden room at the back of the home was added in the 1990s by former homeowner John Stockslager and includes a garden walkway. Visitors also should

take note of the original front door, with Turner’s initials carved into the wood. The Reeders would like to warn those who tour their home that the upstairs is reached by a narrow, steep stairway, and may be difficult for some to navigate. The home’s kitchen area was once two rooms, and features a brick chimney, which was left for support and decorative purposes. Regan and Sue Bowman Home Not too far out of town stands the Regan and Sue Bowman home on Beanblossom Road. Originally built in 1932, the Bowmans have resided in their farmhouse for the past 30 years, adding a 1,800 sq. ft. addition in 2010, which includes a great room, office and enclosed porch area. The five-bedroom, three-bath home also features an open staircase as you enter the front room. The kitchen, painted a darker blue, opens up into the new great room with a

floor to ceiling fireplace. Several antique pieces remind visitors they are inside a country farmhouse. The downstairs basement area includes a family room with a bar area and a basement, which is located behind barn doors. The bottom of the bar area is covered in real cow hide, which Sue Bowman and a friend stretched and covered. Rustic barn doors also separate the basement bedroom and bathroom. The family-friendly farmhouse includes reminders that grandchildren visit often, with items such as a wooden rocking horse, wooden high chairs and an antique wooden meat locker, which the grandkids use to play hide and seek. Tony and Katie Bonfiglio Home The blue-grey Cape Cod frame house at 118 Willow Dr. owned by Tony and Katie Bonfiglio is nearly 3,000 sq. ft. Features include three dormers, and as guests enter the home, they find a formal living

Molly Mile Fun Run set for Sept. 3 COVINGTON – The second annual Molly Mile Fun Run to support the Molly Murphy Unicorn

Foundation will be held Sept. 3, 8:30 a.m., at the Covington Eagles, 715 E. Broadway St., Covington.

Story times resume at Worch Library VERSAILLES – Worch Memorial Public Library is happy to announce the Story time and Wee Read fall/winter session begins in September. Wee Read begins Sept. 6, 10 a.m. Wee Read gives babies or toddlers an opportunity to hear stories and songs. In addition there is a dedicated time to play with toys and other children, while mothers have a chance to talk with other mothers during this half hour session. Story Time, for chil-

dren over 36 months to kindergarten, will begin Sept. 12, 6 p.m. This 45minute program is ﬁlled with activities to encourage a child’s love of reading. Children will also enjoy playing with rhythm sticks, doing ﬁnger plays, listening to music and doing crafts. For more information about these programs or anything else at the library, call 526-3416. Or, for a calendar of all activities at the library visit the website at www.worch.lib.oh.us.

The festival will include a pancake breakfast from 9–11 a.m., silent auction, one mile run/walk, face painting, bounce house and balloon animals. Donations can made online at www.thetroyfoundation.org or mail to The Troy Foundation, 10610 North State Route 48, Covington, Ohio 45318. Donations are tax-deductible. Visit the Molly Murphy Uniform Foundation website at www.mollymurphyunicorn.com. The Molly Murphy Unicorn Foundation was established to help ease the burden of families who have lost their child by assisting with headstones and

other memorial expenses. The family realized the need during the planning of Molly’s funeral. Molly was only three-years-old when the drowning incident ended her precious life in May 2015. When Molly would visit a zoo or a farm she would always search for a unicorn, therefore, the foundation name reﬂects Molly’s personality. There seemed to be no limit to Molly’s imagination so to keep her loving and caring memory alive, the family will work together to make the unattainable a reality. Molly loved to dress up so join them for the walk/ run in your favorite outﬁt.

DAVID NILEY PCDL helps students with Darke County homework EATON – With the school year now in full swing, make sure to check out Preble County District Library’s online resources for homework help. Through the library’s research webpage at www. preblelibrary.org/referencedesk, you can find help with everything from writing a research paper to foreign language lessons, all accessible from any internet-connected computer with your library card number. Most recently, the library added the ability to search thousands of academic journals, magazines, newspapers, and reference e-books the same way you search for books and movies at the library’s website. To perform a search, go to www.preblelibrary. org. Click “Catalog/My Account” in the top bar. Type your subject into the search bar and click the “Search” button. The search will display physical books, movies, and music related to your search. To access full-text research sources, click the tab at the top of the results labeled “Articles & Journals.” From here, you can view, save, or print PDF files of each article, narrow your search results using the filters at the right, and even get full citations for use in your school papers. The integration of EBSCO Discovery Service with the library’s catalog makes researching a school paper easier and faster. Searching through the library’s online resources gives you access to many credible resources faster than a Google search. Check it out at www. preblelibrary.org.

GREENVILLE – State of the Heart Care has had the pleasure of working with music therapy intern, Kristina Simer, for the past six months. As a requirement for her B.A. in Music Therapy through Slippery Rock University, Simer must complete 1200 hours of clinical experience. Simer will finish up her time working at State of the Heart this month. Music has always been a strong influence in her life and her high school band director helped foster her passion. Simer’s love of music combined with her personal experiences with physical therapy lead her down the unique path of music therapy. Music Therapy is an established health care profession that uses music to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals of all ages. As a musician, the flute is Simer’s main instrument. She is also a vocal-

ist and plays the guitar, piano, trumpet, saxophone and percussion. Music Therapists use clinical interventions and techniques unique to each patient’s cognitive level, function and their plan of care. She stressed the importance of looking at each individual patient at their speciﬁc time in their journey. One example she gave was working with a patient with dementia who was having a bad day. The goal for that patient was reminiscence, so she created a plan to play songs that evoked memories of times past for that patient. In this particular case, the patient was immediately transported to a happy time in her life. In addition to playing several instruments, music therapists need to be familiar with many different genres of music from many different time periods. Often times a music therapist will learn new songs between visits

Opportunity to help the Monarch GREENVILLE – Pollinator populations across the country are in decline, including the Monarch Butterﬂy. A reduction in the number of milkweed plants in Ohio and surrounding states and a loss of wintering habitat due to logging, weather and human encroachment have contributed to the population decline of the Monarch Butterﬂy. There are ways that we can help, even in Darke County. Starting Sept. 1 through Oct. 31, the Darke Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) will be collecting seed pods from the Common Milkweed plant. The Monarch relies on the milkweed plant as a host

plant, to lay eggs and as a food source. Whether as an individual, or a group, you can make a difference in the Monarch Butterfly population by collecting these seed pods. Once collected, the seed pods will be sent away to be dried and cleaned. A portion of the seed will be sent back to Darke County to be incorporated with other seed mixes that will be planted for pollinator species. If you would like to help, call the Darke SWCD office at 548-1752, visit their website www.darkeswcd. com, or follow them on Facebook or Twitter to find out where the seed pods can be dropped off.

Kristina Simer

to meet the needs of their patient. Simer believes that working with hospice patients has helped her learn her strengths and weaknesses. When asked about the challenges of working with patients with a life limiting illness, she ﬁnds it helpful to remember that “It’s my job to create an atmosphere for them and a connection to them.” She is also an advocate for music therapy education as it is often misunderstood. Simer led a presentation to the staff and volunteers of State of the Heart on what music therapy is and what it is not. “One distinguishing characteristic of music therapy is that patients often help make music, they don’t always passively listen,” She shared. When asked about working with Simer, Amy Pearson MT-BC for State of the Heart Care said, “It has been a rewarding experience working Kristina and seeing her growth as a music therapist. She is highly motivated to learn and has been an asset to the agency by providing additional music therapy visits.” Simer is State of the Heart’s ninth music therapy intern. Seven of the past interns currently

work as music therapists and one is a music educator. State of the Heart accepts interns for a sixmonth term and to be qualiﬁed for an internship, one must have completed a bachelor’s degree in music therapy from an accredited university. For more information about music therapy, internships or other services offered by State of the Heart Care, visit www. stateoftheheartcare.org.

alone, Daughters have devoted more than 2.2 million hours of service to veterans, honored more than 288,000 Vietnam War veterans, and donated more than $250,000 in support of active duty service members and their families. The Guinness World Records™ attempt served as a test: Could the membership exceed its already high standards of support for our military? Achieving this ambitious goal required the National Society to collect and then mail at least 10,000 letters to active-duty service members. Daughters across the country rallied in support of the effort. Members of Fort GreeneVille contributed by collecting letters to add to the total. Many DAR members wrote personal messages along with family and friends submitting letters. As dictated by the Guinness World Records™ guidelines, all letters had to be handwritten, addressed to an active duty service member, placed inside a stamped, unsealed envelope, and delivered in person to one of the designated stations set up at DAR Headquarters. OSDAR Regent brought the chapter’s letters to Washington, D.C., and hand-delivered them to a collection station. Letters of appreciation filled more and more boxes as the week progressed, and an official Guinness World Records™ adjudicator arrived to conduct the verification process. The carefully tallied total was revealed at the National Defense Night ceremony on June 18. As thousands in attendance waited to learn the outcome of the attempt, members surprised them by carrying in box after box to give a visual representation of

how many letters were submitted. The adjudicator took the stage to announce the results using a number tally on the big screen. Cheers increased as soon as the number topped 10,000, but then the audience, including the night’s special guests, Secretary of Veterans Aﬀairs Robert McDonald and the USO President and CEO, Dr. J.D. Crouch, all went wild when the tally surpassed 100,000. The DAR had collected 100,904 letters, more than 10 times the minimum threshold needed to set the record for most letters to

military personnel collected in one month. “Congratulations—you are ofﬁcially amazing!” the adjudicator proclaimed. This record-setting achievement provides the latest measure of the collective force of the DAR’s appreciation for the United States Military, while simultaneously fostering human connection between the American people and those who defend our freedom. As devoted stewards of the legacy of the Revolutionary War generation, Daughters feel

equally compelled to express appreciation for the valor, sacriﬁce and commitment of today’s active-duty service members. Each letter represents the support of a grateful nation, and Fort GreeneVille Chapter is humbled by the opportunity to assist in collecting these missives to the defenders of our country.

Chair Marilyn Delk, one of DCEA’s major purposes is to assist organizations and individuals in achieving artistic goals that benefit the citizens of Darke County. The grants were awarded to: Friends of the Cardinal Center, Greenville Municipal Concert Band, Darke County Park District, Main Street Greenville, Town and Country Players, and Friends of Bear’s Mill. “This year’s grantees were chosen from many worthy applicants, and will provide opportunities for enjoyment of and participation in the arts by a broad range of local residents,” Mrs. Delk stated. This year’s awards will financially assist an arts camp, art exhibits, and musical performances. “We look forward to the community embracing and benefitting from these delightful programs,” Mrs. Delk concluded. The Friends of the Cardinal Center who are working to preserve the historical and educational heritage of Gettysburg School will host two weeks of music and arts education at free arts camps this summer. Endowment funds will help offset the cost of materials, instruction, and facilities. Greenville Municipal Band’s popular annual concert series in Greenville City Park has provided free entertainment to generations of local residents. The granted funds will be used to help cover operating costs including musicians’ fees so that this summer tradition can continue to fill summer nights with music for Darke Countians of all ages. Performers who will share songs and tales to enhance Darke County Park District’s Prairie Days Festival include bluegrass, Americana and country group Berachah Valley Band, folk singer and multi-instrumentalist Joseph, bluegrass band Silver Grass, and classic country string band The Thien Snipps plus Darke County Civic Theatre performing their annual melodrama. DCEA funding will help compensate

the artists at these free events celebrating the cultural heritage of the area. Main Street Greenville requested and received funds to continue Street Arts Saturdays, a newlyinitiated recurring event presenting high quality performing and visual artists on the streets of Greenville during warm weather months. Town and Country Players produce one or two musicals each year, and during the summer provide entertainment on Versailles’ Fountain Square; Endowment funds will support these popular community events. From March through December, Friends of Bear’s Mill presents the work of diverse area artists in the Mill’s rustic Clark Gallery; money provided by DCEA will support these art exhibits and the events surrounding them. DCEA is a nonproﬁt organization that receives and manages charitable gifts that are invested to produce income beneﬁtting the arts in Darke County. For more information, contact a member of DCEA’s governing board; in addition to Mrs. Delk trustees are Suzi Brown, Roberta Feltman, Tom Graber, Barbara Greiner, Becky Hartnagle, and Andrea Jordan.

When traveling, remember to keep cold foods cold by placing the cold food in a cooler with ice or ice packs. Cold foods should be stored at 41°F or below to prevent bacteria growth. Meat, poultry, and seafood may be packed while still frozen so they stay colder longer. Make sure the meat is securely wrapped so their juices won’t contaminate the other prepared/cooked foods. Also consider packing beverages in one cooler and perishable food in another so the perishable foods won’t be exposed to warm outdoor air temperatures.

Bob Gerling, secretary of Eagles stated, “We want the community to know that we are committed to this organization.” The Cancer Association is most appreciative of all donations. The association provides benefits to cancer patients living in Darke County. The only requirements are that the patients must live in Darke County and have a confirmed diagnosis of cancer. The association is funded by private donations, memorials, grants, fundraisers and United Way. Volunteers are always needed. If interested in volunteering to help at local fundraisers, or to be a volunteer driver, call the office and talk with Christine at 548-9960.

High school mentoring programs have become a widespread component of many nationally afﬁliated Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies. Studies prove that children who spend time with a positive role model are more likely to become healthy, productive adults. The Big Buddies program has proven beneﬁcial not only for the “Littles” but for the high school volunteers as well. If you are interested in becoming a mentor in the High School Buddies program, call (937) 492-7611 or (937) 547-9622, email info@bigbrobigsis-shelbydarke.org, or visit www. bigbrobigsis-shelbydarke. org for more information.

Jared Altenberger also presented local deaf information and taught the group deaf signs. The Grange became involved with “Dogs For The Deaf” after meeting them at one of the Grange National Conventions.

Hamey was placed with a man from Michigan. Hamey was a fully trained hearing dog and alerts him to different sounds. The grange continues to support their different programs and is raising money to sponsor another dog. The cost of one dog is $5,000.

Women’s Untold Stories at Edison State PIQUA – Music, dance, and theater are coming to the Robinson Theater at Edison State Community College in Piqua on Sept. 22. Sponsored by the Diversity Committee as a beneﬁt for the Edison Foundation’s General Scholarship Fund, the program will feature women from the college and the community displaying their talents as they salute girls and women. At 7 p.m., the show will begin with dancers from the Center Stage Academy in Troy. For the evening’s main event, 18 area college students/employees, community leaders, and teens will take the stage and deliver monologs in answer to poet Muriel Rukeyser’s question, “What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life?” The monologs are original and feature diverse themes from sex trafﬁcking

to emotional and physical poverty to communication lapses. Following the theater production, the audience and performers will be invited to dance to the piano music of Brenda CobbsAllen. Admission is free of charge, and those who would like to make contributions to the Edison Foundation’s General Scholarship Fund are encouraged to do so. The Diversity Committee at Edison Community College is committed to advancing the College’s academic mission and goals in the areas of diversity, equality, inclusion and human rights by leading efforts to deﬁne, assess, and cultivate diversity as both an institutional value and an academic priority.
