Bowers closes one chapter; opens another RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – It’s a week of transition for the new head of the Darke County Economic Development office, Mike Bowers. He began his duties for that office on Aug. 29 while he finishes up the last few details as mayor of Greenville. An open house to honor Bowers and the work he accomplished over the past eight years while serving the city of Greenville was held Aug. 30. Hundreds of well-wishers, including city employees and local business leaders, lined up to bend his ear or shake his

hand as he flipped the page to a new chapter in his life. Bowers took office in one of Greenville’s bleakest times in recent history. The recession hit and state funding was drastically cut leaving the city with many difficult choices. The turnaround has been nothing less than remarkable. He said, “It’s been a very exciting 8 1/2 years. It was interesting to come in when it was in kind of a down economy, but we worked hard through economic development and through some other areas to get jobs here and I’m proud of the fact that we’ve retained and grown over 1,500 jobs and have worked very well with

all of our local manufacturers.” The success the city has witnessed has included expansions and increased employment by the KitchenAid division of Whirlpool and Jafe Glass. He added, “You look at Fram staying here with 150 jobs and growing it to over 400. You look at Spartech getting bought out by PolyOne and doubling employment.” He stressed all of these factors have contributed to the positive momentum going on in the community. When asked to name something he was able to accomplish that was good for the city, but did not involve economic development, Bowers didn’t hesi-

tate when he said, “Fireworks!” He continued, “I think that was it. EUM has come along and they do a Family Fun Day out at the fairgrounds and even though it’s just been the last three years I think it’s a good community pride, community spirit piece that I was very glad to be able to bring back to the city of Greenville.” Bowers also led the charge to keep the Memorial Day Parade when some of the service organizations felt they could no longer keep it going. Bowers is ready to get to work as the county’s economic development director and has his agenda in place. Although business

retention will be critical for the county, his ofﬁce will put Workforce Development at the forefront. “Workforce Development is the next biggest thing

we need to work on. We’ve got the jobs. We just need to make sure we have the quality people that our manufacturers need,” he said.

Treaty City Senior dances offer socialization, friendship SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – Local senior citizens who are looking for a place to shake a leg need look no further. From 1-4 p.m. on Mondays, the Treaty Senior Citizens Dance program provides 50s and 60s rock n roll, with a little 70s thrown in for good measure. And beginning Sept. 12, the dances will be moving to the Greenville VFW Post at 219 N Ohio St. Organizers Lynn Newbauer and Tina McClanahan said the dances have grown since the ﬁrst one was held Jan. 18 at the Greenville Eagles. “Fifty-ﬁve people showed up,” McClanahan said. “I was pleased, since the weather

that day was so cold.” Upwards of 100 individuals have attended the weekly dances feature DJ Tom Everhart of Hollansburg playing hits from the 50s and 60s, plus a few of the more popular tunes from later years. The cost to attend is $3 per person or $5 per couple. McClanahan and Newbauer were appreciative of the support the Eagles provided the Treaty City Senior Dances and are looking forward to working with the VFW. “The Eagles did a great job for us. The VFW approached us,” upon hearing the group was looking for another spot to hold the dances, McClanahan said. “We’re excited about the parking and the wheelchair accessibility.” The VFW also will be

providing lunch items to purchase. Several local groups have supported the Treaty City Senior dances, including Person Centered Services

of experience in law enforcement - including 13 years of being an instructor under his belt. In addition, several experienced ofﬁcers from the UCIPD, including Chief Cobie Wells, have been assisting with some of the hands-on exercises. “Our department tries hard to be visible and part of the community in any way we can,” said Chief Wells. “Showing these kids, from high school on down, that cops are just like everyone else and want to help them has really brought the community together... that includes both sides of Union City.” In an interview with The Early Bird, Bradbury expressed his initial concerns going into the new program and how to locate adequate material and activities for a year-long curriculum. Three weeks later... he is excited about all the opportunities the future for the class holds, and though he knows it will be challenging, the class has already begun building a strong foundation and he

is confident it will continue to grow going forward. The hopes for expanding the course, in the next year or two, are to attract more students and add an second-year class (Criminal Justice II). The overall goal is to give the students a wide range of education from every angle of the criminal justice field, according to Bradbury. “I hope to have members of different criminal justice fields come and talk to the kids and go on some field trips to places like the crime lab and see first-hand how it all works. I know they would really get a lot out of it,” he added. The new criminal justice class is held daily for students for two periods. Bradbury says Wednesday classes are designated for current events involving law enforcement and court cases around the country. On Fridays, deemed “Physical Friday”, the students travel to the UCI Police Department to engage in various physical tactics and training. The class also

(formerly Wayne Industries), Brookdale Senior Living Greenville, Heartland Hospice, Village Green and Interim HealthCare, said McClanahan, who works as a

sales manager for Brookdale Greenville. The idea to plan a weekly dance came after McClanahan and Newbauer saw a need for socialization activities among local seniors. McClanahan calls Newbauer, who is retired, the “heart” of the program, using her effective organizational skills to make the weekly events possible. Since Greenville currently has no formal senior citizen center, the two formed Treaty City Senior Citizen Dances. “The one thing our seniors need to have is some sort of socialization,” McCalanahan explained. “Attendance at the dances tells me they are getting up, planning and preparing for the dance. They’ve got something on their calendar. And they are building up friendships.”

Newbauer calls the friendships that are forming at the dances a “good camaraderie” for the seniors, many who come from Richmond, Ind., as well as Miami and Preble counties. “It’s about what you do with yourself in your Golden Years,” Newbauer said. “It’s time to have fun and meet people.” So far this year, Treaty City has sponsored a senior citizen prom complete with crowning royalty and a Hawaiian Luau. Planned for the coming months are a Halloween-themed dance for Monday, Oct. 31 and a Christmas Dance for Monday, Dec. 19. Those wishing to learn more about the weekly senior dances or how to help sponsor the program may call Newbauer at 947-6212546.

Union City High School launches Criminal Justice class CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY, Ind. The Union City Jr/Sr High School launched it’s new criminal justice class to kickoff the 2016-17 school year. The dual credit course is exclusively for junior and senior high school students interested in an educational and hands-on approach to a possible career in the criminal justice field. “The new class teaches the students, not only about law enforcement, but a variety of criminal justice related fields,” said class instructor and School Resource Officer Bill Bradbury. “The kids started off a little unsure, but just three weeks in they are researching and discussing many great topics. They really seem to enjoy the hands-on exercises we do each week.” Bradbury, who is also the Assistant Chief at the Union City Indiana Police Department, has 20 years

honors fallen ofﬁcers from around the county by reading aloud their career highlights and how they were killed in the line of duty. The ofﬁcer’s name and information is then posted to a designated bulletin board inside the classroom to be displayed throughout the year. According to UC Jr/Sr High School Principal Aaron Black, the school looks to open the class up for junior and senior students from neighboring school districts - both Indiana and Ohio. “I believe what makes Union City unique is the fact that we have a nice blend of tech courses that spotlights a strong business, agriculture and now a criminal justice course,” Black said. “When you add this to our strong number of dual credit courses and where we are with technology and you have an awesome small school!” Bradbury explained that another goal is to talk with area colleges, who offer criminal justice courses,

in hopes of giving students involved in the high school program credit towards college. “Some of the students want to go into law enforcement, but several of them are interested in crime scene investigations which I really hope this class can get them prepared for their career choice,” Bradbury concluded. “I know this will be a great start for them and I know I am ready for the challenge. I am excited to see where this can go!”

Bradbury hopes to be able to coordinate an actual mock crime scene for the students to take part in and investigate towards the end of the year...and possibly partner with another class to hold an mock criminal trial.

How was it made? Find out at Prairie Days GREENVILLE – The 2016 Prairie Days will feature many historical demonstrations. Volunteers will be demonstrating how pioneers would have made homemade bread in the outdoor bake oven, also known as the cob oven. The oven construction was completed during the summer of 2014 and is located near the northwest corner of the log house. Volunteers will build a ﬁre in the oven to heat it, then remove the coals and sprinkle cornmeal on the oven surface to prevent sticking. The bread dough, cookies, or any other baked goods can then be prepared before the oven cools down again. The public will have the op-

portunity to try samples of white bread, wheat bread, or ginger molasses cookies all prepared in the oven at Shawnee Prairie. The full loaves of bread and cookies will be available for a donation during Prairie Days in the General Store. Also back this year are the sorghum pressing and boiling demonstrations. Journey to the top of the hill to witness stalks of sorghum grown in Darke County pressed to release their sweet juice. There will be two presses from the late 19th century in operation for the weekend. One is owned by the Park District and was restored by park volunteer Jim Poeppelman of Versailles. The other is on loan from

UNION CITY – On Sept. 9, 10 and 11, Union City, Ind. will host the third annual Union City Arts Festival – a celebration of the arts and culture of Union City, with an emphasis on creating opportunities for emerging artists working across diverse media. The festival will take place over a ﬁve block radius throughout downtown Union City. The celebration begins Friday night with music by Right Way to Nowhere, John Beatrice, Password Reset and featuring music legend, Grammy award winning Eddie Money.

Tonight and perhaps his greatest hit, Two Tickets to Paradise are just a few of the songs you will hear to kick off another successful Union City Arts Festival. In tribute to Eddie’s top 25 hit from 1978, the festival committee has dubbed this year’s festival “Two Tickets to Paradise.” Money an American rock guitarist, saxophonist and singer-songwriter who found success in the 1970s and 80s with a string of Top 40 hits and platinum albums will perform Sept. 9 at the Artisan Park.

Chris Hawkey and the Chris Hawkey Band. In the jigsaw puzzle of life, there’s never been any doubt about where Chris Hawkey ﬁts. Music has always been center stage; even before he auditioned for, and won, a job as lead singer for a rock band at the young age of 15. Sharing his high school years with high energy nights on stages around Ohio and Indiana set a career path for the singer that continues today with the release of Chris Hawkey, his ﬁrst Nashville solo album. On Sunday, join festival goers beginning at noon as they wrap up the festival with more food, fun, games and music. They will have several Christian bands playing throughout the day on the main stage at Artisan Crossing, featuring the popular Christian group, Attaboy.

Red Cross seeking virtual volunteers GREENVILLE – The American Red Cross remains on the ground, with volunteers across nearly half of Louisiana, helping thousands who lost everything in recent devastating ﬂoods—the worst natural disaster since Superstorm Sandy in 2012. To further aid community needs, the relief organization is building a new volunteer contingent to deploy “virtually” to support the efforts currently underway thousands of miles away in the ravaged ﬂood zone. “The situation in Louisiana remains critical and so does our need to adapt by recruiting a new type of volunteer – virtual volunteers,” says Lynne Gump, executive director of the Northern Miami Valley Ohio Chapter of the American Red Cross. “I’m urging everyone to please consider becoming a new virtual volunteer. People desperately need help right now. By working from the comfort of your own home, you can make a real difference for people in Louisiana who have lost theirs.” The organization seeks to add an additional 250 virtual volunteers as soon as possible. Opportunities include virtual caseworker and call center positions. More than 17,000 calls from people seeking information and help have already been handled. As waters go down, the

Red Cross is able to get into more and more neighborhoods, and volunteers on scene are working tirelessly to provide assistance. Nearly 90 response vehicles are fanning out through affected neighborhoods to distribute food, water and relief supplies such as personal hygiene items, insect repellent, cleaning kits and bleach. Local ofﬁcials estimate more than 110,000 homes have been damaged. To become a virtual volunteer, individuals simply visit redcross.org and submit an application. The safety of the people the Red Cross serves and the volunteers who help them is of utmost importance to the Red Cross. They have procedures in place to

track who is volunteering to help keep people safe. This includes running a background check on all volunteers who will work directly with the people who turn to them for help or have access to funds. Volunteers also sign an agreement to abide by a code of ethics and conduct.

Darke County to open its doors during statewide celebration event BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – The state’s ﬁrst-ever Ohio Open Doors event is coming to Darke County Sept. 9-18. In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act, several local historical sites will be open for tours during the 10-day event. Ohio Open Doors is a statewide effort, where building and landmark hosts open their doors to the public for special tours and programs. “We wanted to make a big presence,” said Matt Staugler, executive director of Darke County Visitors Bureau. Staugler is hoping locals as well as visitors to Darke County will take advantage of the opportunities to visit the 10 historical sites representing Darke County during Ohio Open Doors. Staugler said the opportunity to participate in the statewide celebration came about following this summer’s painting of the Annie Oakley Barn, north of Greenville. “That got the ball rolling,” he explained. Open during their regular business hours and admission, if applicable, will be the Garst Museum & National Annie Oakley Center, Historic Bear’s Mill and the Bradford Ohio Railroad Museum. Darke County also will be well-represented by seven other sites, some not normally open for public use, including:

Versailles Area Museum (“Treasures of the Past”): 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 11 Darke County Courthouse: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 16 (self-guided tour) Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall: 12-2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17 Greenville Public Library: Saturday, 12-2 p.m. Sept. 17 Studabaker Schoolhouse: 1-3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17 Greenville Union Cemetery: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17 (self-guided tour) Versailles Area Museum (“St. Peter’s Homecoming”): 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 18 Across Ohio, sites are participating in the open door celebration with special, behind-the-scenes tours and talks at buildings and historic places. The event is being sponsored by the Ohio History Connection. Visitors will be able to learn interesting facts about each site, Staugler noted. For example, the Darke County Courthouse was designed by Edwin May, who also designed the Indiana State Capitol building in Indianapolis. Also, visitors to the Greenville Union Cemetery will

be able to view the Egyptian Mausoleum that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. And, rarely open to the public is the ﬁrst brick school in Darke County, the Studabaker Schoolhouse, built around 1840 and located right off South State Route 49, south of Greenville. The site is managed by the Fort Greene Ville chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). The Darke County participating sites are being advertised all over the state, with hopes of attracting visitors from out of the area. “It should be a really neat opportunity for locals as well as visitors,” Staugler said. “This is a perfect opportunity to experience our historical sites here in Darke County.” For more information on each site throughout the state participating in Ohio Open Doors, visit www.ohiohistory.org/ ood, or call the Darke County Visitors Bureau at 937-548-5158. The Darke County Visitors Bureau is a non-proﬁt destination marketing organization, whose mission is to share and enrich the stories and destinations that make this county unique.

GREENVILLE – Tired of looking at those old tires lying around? Not only are they an eyesore, they can be dangerous. The Darke County Solid Waste District and the Ohio EPA want to help you with your tire problem. The district and EPA will be sponsoring a used tire collection on Sept. 21, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. In addition to tires to being an eyesore, they are a nuisance to rural citizens who ﬁnd them in their ditches, out in the ﬁelds and wooded areas. Used tires make the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes that can carry diseases such as West Nile Virus, Zika, Lascrosse Encephalitis, St. Louis Encephalitis, Dengue and Yellow Fever. Some mosquitoes have long-lived eggs, which can remain unhatched for years in old tires that were once wet and have dried out. The eggs can be transported in tires that are trucked between counties, states and even countries. When it rains, these tires collect water, wetting the inside of the tires where the eggs once were deposited, hatching out mosquitoes by the thousands. By disposing of used tires properly, we reduce the chance of disease. The Tire Recycling Day is open to all Darke County residents, farmers, municipalities and townships. Unfortunately, no tires will be accepted from junk yards or junk dealers, garages, auto repair shops; tire, automobile,

truck, farm-equipment dealerships; atv/motorcycle shops or commercial trucking/hauling businesses. Those interested in participating in this one-day event must pre-register. Pre-registration began August 31, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the new location of the Darke County Solid Waste District, 684 Wagner Ave., Suite C, Greenville (behind Edward D. Jones and Sidney Dental; beside Greenville Federal.). Pre-registration ends on Sept. 14. Participants must provide a valid driver’s license or state-issued identiﬁcation and sign a waiver that the tires being brought for recycling are from a residence in order to participate. The district will be closed on Sept. 5 due to the Labor Day holiday. Participants are asked to remove rims from all tires before taking them to the Rumpke Transfer Station, 5474 Jaysville-St. John Road, Greenville, on Sept. 21. Those tires left on rims will not be accepted. Passenger tires will be accepted free of charge, however, there is a limit of

75 tires per Darke County address. Tractor tires preregistered will be charged a $15 fee per tire at the time of registration. Tractor tires larger than 28” wide will not be accepted. Semi/truck tires pre-registered will be charged a $5 per tire fee. This year, the first five tractor tires will be $5 each and the first 10 semi/truck tires will be free thanks to a grant from the Ohio EPA. Payment is due at the time of signup in the form of cash or check. The Ohio EPA requires a transporter’s permit for those hauling more than 10 tire at a time. According to the Ohio Revised Code, all tires must be secured and tarped before arriving at the transfer station unless they are in an enclosed vehicle, trailer, etc. Untarped loads can be refused. Assisting the Solid Waste District and Environmental Council will be Community Service workers, the Environmental Division of the Darke County Health Department, Darke County Engineer, Darke County Highway Garage, Rumpke employees and many volunteers.

Senior Year and the Dog Made It

This year is going to be one like my wife and I have never experienced. We have a senior in high school and in approximately 33 more educational weeks (seniors get out a couple weeks early) we will only have one kid still in high school. This year will be one where we will have many “this is the last time she will be doing this” moments. My wife will give me the pouty face as she tries to hold back tears and I will smile and continue to count down the weeks until she is done. Senioritis has already set in and my oldest is anxious to be done with high school. The challenge for us will be to keep her

grounded (not the you’re in trouble kind of grounded, but I’m sure we’ll have that also) to where she actually finishes everything adequately so we don’t have another year of “this the last time she…” moments. We’ve already experienced a few of the “last time” moments and my wife has made a pouty face and a tear or two may have cascaded down her cheek. The tradition of taking the first day of school picture was a little heartbreaking. At least that’s what I was told. I was sleeping when they left for school. Before the first bell rang at the schoolhouse we had a “last time” moment and my wife didn’t give me the classic pouty face. My oldest daughter showed her dog for the final time at the fair. I think both of us were relieved we would no longer have to harp at her

to work with and groom her dog. She’s been lucky to have a very smart dog throughout her 10-years in 4-H. With as little work as she put into this year’s show we were both amazed she took second place in obedience. Although my daughter got the ribbon, we all knew it was the dog’s accomplishment this year. While we are proud of both of our daughters, they have been extremely blessed to have good dogs to work with. My youngest also took home a couple of ribbons with her Chihuahua. This is going to sound really bad, but after the show was over and we knew she would probably never step into the dog ring to show her dog again my wife and I had the same thought. I looked at her and she looked at me and with a gleam in her eye she said, “Now the dog can

die.” I told you it was going to sound really bad. Our dog is getting to an advanced age, but I’m sure she has several more years of life left in her. However, with dogs you never know how long they’ll stick around. When we got our Golden Retriever it was our goal to have our daughter show her throughout her years in 4-H. We were always worried she would pass away before my daughter was ﬁnished with 4-H and we would have to start all over training a new dog. Her dog can now retire. We are now hoping the Chihuahua can make it three or four more years for my youngest daughter. We do have four dogs so we have a spare if we need it. I’m sure when my youngest daughter shows her dog in her ﬁnal show my wife and I will look at each and my wife will say, “Now the dog can die.”

Change can be frightening. You never know quite what to expect when you uproot yourself from your comfortable familiarity and embark on a new journey. In the span of 365 days, my wife and I had nearly every important aspect of our lives altered. It was intimidating, and at times, a bit overwhelming. There were long days ﬁxing up our old house that we love so much. There were sleepless nights trying to wrap our minds around our new jobs and the acclimation that comes with any employment change. But there were also the positives of new discoveries: long walks in Greenville City Park, our ﬁrst Maid-Rites, and all the new friends we’ve made.

I’d be remiss to not take time to thank several groups who have made this transition so wonderful for Jen and I. The staff and administration at Greenville City Schools have been incredible and very supportive of Jen. I know she appreciates it, and I do as well. My board of trustees has given me invaluable advice, guidance, and encouragement along the way. They’re a terriﬁc group of people and I’m so fortunate to be surrounded by such an amazing bunch that truly loves this county. A special thanks to the Village of Versailles, the City of Greenville, and our Darke County Commissioners for their commitment to

tourism and support of the DCVB. Tourism brings tax revenue for our county, puts money in the pockets of our small business owners, and attracts new residents to our area, and I’m so glad they support our mission. Finally, I want to thank the people of Darke County. We’re fortunate to call this great county “home,” and our mission is to share it with others, as well as enhance the lives of those who live here. You’ve welcomed Jen and I with open arms, and we are eternally grateful for that. It’s been an exciting ﬁrst year, and we can’t wait to see what (hopefully) many more years have in store.

Ruminations at one year Tourism Talks Matthew Staugler Darke County Visitor’s Bureau Executive Director

I’ve had a lot of fun with the “Tourism Talks” column since its inception several months ago. My editorials thus far have focused on key aspects of tourism here in Darke County. This editorial, however, will be a little different. It has been just over a year since I accepted my position at the Darke County Visitors Bureau, my wife accepted a teaching position at Greenville City Schools, and we purchased a home here. What a whirlwind of a year it has been.

READERS WRITE Opinion on Intersection

I have just written a letter to the Darke County Commissioners with a possible solution for the Kruckeberg and 127 crossing. Would like for others’ opinion. An overpass is at Route 121 in sight of scene and Rte 49. They already have

nice southbound exit for 127. I am hoping they take the suggestion. I would really like to see others’ opinion in your column. Thank you! Sincerely Phyllis Townsend, Union City, Ohio

Lady Trojans win on home court GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

ARCANUM – The Arcanum Lady Trojans defeated the visiting Franklin Monroe Lady Jets 3-0 in a Cross County Conference matchup Tuesday night before a large crowd of fans from both schools. “They played great together tonight,” said Arcanum ﬁrst year coach Macey O’Dell. “We are starting to gel. We are starting to play together nicely. We look like a team.” Arcanum never trailed in the three games played but the young Lady Jets made the Lady Trojans earn the win. “We graduated six

seniors last year,” said Franklin Monroe ﬁrst year Coach Angie Filbrun. “We have two girls with varsity experience. We are building on that. We are a young team. We are working hard. Very proud of them. I think the best is yet to come.” Game one had the teams even at 1-1 and 2-2 before Arcanum made a 6-0 run to taking an early 8-2 advantage. The Lady Trojans stretched its lead to 16-6 only to have FM close out the game’s scoring with an 11-9 run with Arcanum winning by a 25-17 score. Game two saw an early 2-2 tie before the Lady Trojans used a 14-3 run to lead 16-5 with the Lady Jets rebounding; turn-

ing a 9-4 run into a 20-14 game. Arcanum would outscore the visitors 5-3 to closeout game two securing a 25-17 win. Franklin Monroe battled back from an early game three 6-3 deﬁcit to knot the score at 6-6, 7-7, 11-11, 14-14, 17-17 and 1919. Arcanum answered each tie with a score to keep FM from leading in the three game match on the night. The Lady Trojans outscored FM down the ﬁnal stretch 6-2 to take game three by 25-21 score. “We had little goals… baby steps,” said Filbrun. “We were trying to get one more point, one more point, and they did. They fought, fought, fought.

They ran with a lot of heart and determination.” The Lady Wave were originally scheduled to run in the Moller Primetime Cross Country Meet on Friday but due to conditions of the Kings Island Golf Course the meet was cancelled. “We scrambled to ﬁnd another meet,” said Coach Lind. The Moller cancellation was quickly replace with the Greenville girls traveling east on I-70 to Springﬁeld to compete in the Northwestern Warrior

Classic on Saturday morning hosted by Northwestern High School. The Lady Wave placed a strong 2nd in the Classic with Brooke Perreira finishing 7th, Chloe Sowry 14th and Grace Coakley 15th. “The girls finished runner up behind host Northwestern at the Warrior Classic in Springfield out of 7 teams,” Lind said. “This was a good opportunity to see how well we could compete in our new Division II classification.”

her blocks and her kills,” said O’Dell. “Shai (Robinson) had a ton of kills again tonight.”

Wave eighth-graders fall to Skyhawks BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Greenville eighth grade boys football team hosted The Fairborn Skyhawks in a Wednesday evening game. The Green Wave 8th graders showed signs of improvement as the game went on but was not enough to slow down the bigger Skyhawks falling 46-14 to the visitors. “Second half much brighter than the ﬁrst,” said Greenville 8th grade coach Matt Holzapfel. “Made a couple adjustments at halftime…seemed to help out. We played a great ball team.” The Wave trailed 16-0 after one period of play before Ty Ferguson got the home team on the board the ﬁrst play of the second quarter with a 33 yard touchdown run. With a failed two-point conversion attempt the Green Wave trailed 16-6 with 7:50 on the second quarter clock. Fairborn extended its lead to 38-6 by the end of

the ﬁrst half of play. “They had a great wide receiver that pretty much opened the game wide up,” Holzapfel stated. “Not much we could do about that.” Ferguson would pick up his second touchdown of the night with a 65yard touchdown run with 3:13 in the third for a 4412 score. With the twopoint conversion good, the young Wave team made it a 44-14 game. “He (Ferguson) stays out there almost every play,” said Coach Holzapfel. “He’s an animal. He loves football. He loves to be out there and he just loves being on every play, every hit, every tackle, every touchdown, every block. He’s a good team player.” The Skyhawks would tack-on a two-point safety as time run out on the game giving Fairborn a 46-14 win. The 8th grade team travels to Trotwood Wednesday, September 7th to take on the Rams in a 5:30 p.m. start time.

Ansonia Lady Tigers volleyball team ground Eagles BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

ANSONIA – The Ansonia Lady Tigers volleyball team defeated the visiting Troy Christian Lady Eagles 3-0 Monday night. “Every game it seems like we are making progress,” said Ansonia Coach Craig Riethman. “We take a step back and we show some resilience ﬁnishing things out. We’re still not where we want to be but we are coming out on top which is a credit to the girls.” Game one saw four ties with the ﬁnal tie coming at 6-6 before the Lady Tigers ran off a string of six unanswered points to lead 12-6 bringing a timeout from Troy’s bench. The Lady Eagles

would battle back to trail 15-11 only to have the girls from Ansonia string together 10 consecutive points to close out game one with a 25-11 win. Game two mirrored game one with the teams tied seven times with the last tie at 8-8 followed by three Ansonia points to lead 11-8. Troy Christian would close to 12-11 before the Lady Tigers would outscore the visitors 13-5 to take game two by a 25-16 score. “When you serve aggressive you’re more liable to miss a few serves,” stated Riethman. The Lady Eagles would open game three with their second and ﬁnal lead of the night; a short lived 1-0 lead with Anso-

nia pushing its advantage to 15-7 with Troy calling a timeout. Troy charged back to tie the game at 18-18, but it was Ansonia outpacing the Lady Eagles 7-2 to win game three 25-20 and take the non-conference match three games to none. “We took away our momentum and a chance to put things away early by making some mistakes,” Riethman said. “If we would clean up some of our little mistakes, our communication mistakes…that would go a long way.” Junior Bailey Stammen led the Lady Tigers with 31 assists while senior Lydia Sink accounted for 14 kills, 3 blocks and 8 digs.

Lydia Sink nails one of her 14-kills in win over Troy (Gaylen Blosser photo)

Sophomore Alyssa Armock had 5 Aces, junior Aliya Barga had 9 kills, and sophomore Kassy Wentworth added 6 kills. “Alyssa Armock served really well,” said Rieth-

man. “We are young,” Riethman said. “We have two seniors. Our senior leadership is very important to us with Lydia (Sink) playing all the way

around and Treava (Newland) is very consistent with what she does. The girls need her out there just for the atmosphere.”

Lady Wave volleyball growing BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Lady Wave volleyball team fell 3-0 to the visiting Piqua Lady Indians but not before rebounding from a slow start in game one to give the girls from Piqua all they wanted in games two and three. “Super, super young,” said ﬁrst year Greenville varsity coach Chelsea Dowd of her 2016 team. “I was telling the girls despite our record…we haven’t won but we haven’t played badly. For me a loss like that with a team so young and that has so much potential, I know

it’s a loss but it doesn’t feel horrible to me.” Piqua took game one by a 25-8 score with the young Lady Wave team showing progress in a 25-20 game two loss. “We start slow a lot of the time but once we get going you can really see how hard they’re working,” said Dowd. “They’re getting it. There is such a big improvement from the beginning of August till the ﬁrst of September.” The Lady Indians took game three by a 25-19 score as the Greenville girls continued to show signs of improvement.

“Chloe Cox in the back row with some seriously good digging,” said Dowd of her team’s play. “Shelby Herman, our libero with some good digs, Cassie Cromwell with some blocks. All of my girls… Logan Tabler. Everyone showed up and played their position and they all played like a team. I’m so proud of everybody.” “There is so much improvement from right now till the end of the season still to come because they are so young and they still have so much room to grow,” added Dowd. “They have so much potential that is untapped.”

Demolition Derby brings curtain down on fair BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The curtain came down on the 2016 Great Darke County Fair before a packed Grand Stand and inﬁeld bleachers ﬁlled with demolition derby fans. “We had a great derby,” said fair board director Dave Niley. “We had a real nice crowd.” The second of two late afternoon heavy down-

pours came through putting a damper on fairgoers for several hours while pushing the derby starting time back an hour. “I really wondered about it (rain),” Niley said, “but it came out pretty good. The sun came out and it turned out real nice. It was a real nice crowd.” An empty 6:30 p.m. Grand Stand was ﬁlled to capacity by 7:30 p.m.

with the muddy inﬁeld working to perfection as a huge number of entrants collided, smashed and crunched to the delight of the fans late into the night at the Smash It Demolition Derby. “I think there are 134 cars entered,” said Niley. “Great fair,” Niley stated as the time wound down on the ﬁnal night of the fair. “Wonderful fair.”

Greenville Library Endowment Fund GREENVILLE – The Greenville Public Library Board of Trustees is pleased to announce the establishment of the GPL Endowment Fund. The purpose of the fund is to ensure the longterm maintenance of the library as it continues to serve the community into the next century and beyond. It will allow them to preserve their physical treasure and uphold their legacy of service for future generations. The library’s importance is reﬂected in its mission statement - to provide materials and services for the recreational, social, informational, and educational needs of the community. Our goal is to know and to serve our patrons with special emphasis on providing popular materials to stimulate children’s reading habits, to offer reference services, and to support the formal and continuing education of both students and adults.

$75 the ﬁrst library books circulated within the school system. In 1894, Frank McWhinney offered the Board of Education the use of a room on Fifth Street to house the growing collection. In 1903, the original building on Sycamore Street was constructed with monies provided by Andrew Carnegie, Henry St. Clair, and the Board of Education. In 2003, a Capital Campaign was launched to raise monies for a much needed expansion and renovation. The citizens of Greenville responded generously and the construction project began in June 2007. The beautiful results are at once both classic and modern and provide patrons with more space and amenities. The fund’s establishment was made possible by two generous gifts from Pat Haines and the Jeanne Morris Memorial. Pat is a retired businesswoman who served on the board for 17 years and saw the library through the campaign and construction. She and her husband Roy were major donors. Jeanne was a retired educator who served on the board for six years and was also a major donor. The public is invited to consider the GPL Endowment Fund in their giving decisions. For more detailed information, contact John Vehre or Susi Halley. The fund is housed with Second National Bank and overseen by the Board’s Finance Committee.

VERSAILLES – The annual St. Peter’s Homecoming Celebration is a tradition that began over 100 years ago. When St. Peter closed its doors to weekly worship it was decided then to hold a “Homecoming Service” each year. The church has since celebrated more “Homecoming Services” than years of regular worship, closing in 1905; this marks the 111th Homecoming service. On Sept. 18, the historic church will open wide its doors once more to host a pre-service concert given by Norm Shelecty and the Thien Snips Band in the old sanctuary beginning at 1:30 p.m. The annual worship and hymn sing is reminiscent of the German Lutheran style of the late 19th and early 20th century. The service will begin at 2 p.m. with the ringing of the bell, calling all from their farms to worship. The Rev. Robert Akins, of Trinity Lutheran Church Versailles and Friedens Lutheran Church, Bloomer will lead the abbreviated worship service. Karen Lawrence will play the original pump organ and many hymns of a bye gone era will be sung. Beginning at 12:30 p.m.

Golf Scramble benefits mission trip BRADFORD – The Bradford Church of the Brethren’s Outreach Team is hosting a Golf Scramble on Sept. 25 at Stillwater Valley Golf Club in Versailles. All proceeds from the golf scramble will benefit the Haiti Mission trip that is planned for June 2017. The people of Haiti are still recovering from the devastating earthquake of 2010 and many families still live in make-shift housing. Child exploitation and slavery are common occurrences. Haitians also face much evil due to the predominance of Voodoo priests and practices. The mission team is so excited for the opportunity to go to Haiti and serve the people there. They will be focusing their time on orphanages, teaching children about God and ministering to the community and the local youths. Spaces are still available for you and your team totaling four people to participate in this Golf Scramble. The fee is $60 per golfer and will include a catered meal, 18 holes of golf, golf cart, door prizes, first place team prize, golfer gift, and closest to the pin prize. Win $5,000 for

yourself and $5,000 for the Mission trip in their Holein-One Challenge sponsored by M&T Excavating. Other outing sponsors include BD Transportation, Bruns Animal Clinic, Clearwater Plumbing, Coldwell Banker Heritage Realtors/ Susie Christ, Dave Knapp Ford, Family Health, Greenville National Bank, M & T Excavating, Secure Retirement Solutions, Troy Ford, and Versailles Feed Mill. If you would like to golf or sponsor this fun event for a good cause, contact Jenni Reed at 418-7119 or via email at jeemr511@gmail. com for more information or to sign up.

VERSAILLES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Open Door Initiative is a program through the Ohio Historical Society and their preservation wing to encourage everyone at the local level to examine â&#x20AC;&#x153;treasuresâ&#x20AC;? in their neighborhood. One of the exciting things the Versailles Area Historical Society found in their local research is how many and how versatile the downtown Versailles business district was in its design. Space was used for retail on multiple levels and also numerous housing opportunities were located downtown. Built for their utility, numerous buildings also included beautiful interior plaster and woodwork. True craftsman enhanced many ordinary buildings into extraordinary interiors. On Sept. 11, Jim Kelch, museum board member, will unveil a slide presentation of several of Versaillesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; local architectural treasures. While ideally a walking tour is the best way, they have done the second best thing by using the photography talents of Dick CofďŹ eld, Larry Martin, and others to capture the hid-

den architecture of several of the local buildings from the Ballroom (upstairs in the Versailles Policy building) or the LaMoine Building from Socials, to Wedding receptions, to recitals, to also providing indoor roller skating, basketball and classroom space as the 1927 school was being constructed. A true multipurpose room before the term was used! This late Victorian/Edwardian architectural decoration from ďŹ&#x201A;uted skinny columns to beautiful wood work and moldings, this building was very elaborate for our simple community. The only third ďŹ&#x201A;oor building in Versailles currently houses The House of Flowers and the Floor Store and More. The third

ďŹ&#x201A;oor was the home to several Lodges and most recently the home of the Knights of Columbus. This area features the original lighted symbol afďŹ xed to the ceiling. A small raised stage gave a place for bands to play and the main door features a ďŹ&#x201A;ip style â&#x20AC;&#x153;peep holeâ&#x20AC;? to see who is at the door. The second ďŹ&#x201A;oor was home to the local library and the switchboard for the local phone company. While sharing these and several other hidden spaces they will also announce the plans they are making to help tell their story in the downtown area as they partner with the village to create a Heritage Walk to help celebrate the upcoming Bicentennial (in 2019).

Ribbon cutting highlights new location for Premier Senior Insurance SUSAN HARTLEY

GREENVILLE – Seniors age 65 and over looking for advice on Medicare and insurance can now stop in Premier Senior Insurance, LLC in downtown Greenville. Founded by Donna Kemp in 2011, the once home-based business relocated to 329 S. Broadway earlier this summer. On Thursday, Sept. 1, Kemp held an open house and ribbon cutting with a group of close friends to “let people know we are here,” she said. “We specialize in senior health insurance for those 65 and over.” Recently, Kemp said, business has picked up with retirees who are losing beneﬁts they thought would be in place for the remainder of their retirement years. “We’re helping retirees who thought they had it all

taken care of,” Kemp said. Priemier’s focus includes: * Medicare supplement plans * Medicare Advantage plans (Part C) * Prescription drug plans (Part D) * Short and Long Term Care * Final expenses and life insurance * Dental, hearing and vision Kemp’s background includes managing two oral surgery practices. “I just went over to the other side,” she explains, of insurance work. Kemp said she also will be offering some informational workshops for those turning 65 and are new to Medicare. “We can help them work through the puzzle and ﬁgure it all out,” she pointed out. For more information on the services Premier offers senior citizens, call Kemp at 937-569-4048.

GREENVILLE – Although leaving their current school building is going to be bittersweet, Greenville Junior High students are looking forward to moving into the district’s new facility this coming winter. “I think it has a rich history,” said eighthgrader Sarah McDaniel of the current junior high on Central Avenue. “But it’s going to be great to go to the new building and make a new history there.” The junior high building, constructed in 1923, originally housed high school students. Current plans are to demolish the building, as part of the district’s agreement with the Ohio School Facilities Commission, which is financing a portion of Greenville’s project. Seventh-grader Eli Flanery also is counting down the days to the big move – which has been scheduled following Christmas break. “I got to sign the floor in our new gym,” he said of a history-making event taking place last spring when Greenville’s elementary and junior high students got a sneak peek at their new school and took the opportunity to autograph base flooring in the new gyms. “I can remember the exact spot I signed,” Flanery said. Of the upcoming demolition of the junior high, and the Greenville School Board’s proposed

plans to turn the building’s footprint into a parking lot with green space, Flanery said “I think it’s going to be really good for Memorial Hall, cause there’s not enough parking.” Plenty of parking for staff, parents and visitors, along with bright new classrooms, three gyms, a lunchroom to seat hundreds of students, outside courtyards, and dedicated art and music areas will greet students at the K-8 building on Ohio Street. McDaniel, who plays tennis and flute with the junior high band, along with trumpet player Reed Hanes, who also plays junior high football and basketball, will be members of the first class of eighth-graders to benefit from the new facility. “I think it’s cool to be the last eighth-grade class here and the first to be in the new building,” Hanes said. Flanery, McDaniel and Hanes met in Principal Chris Mortensen’s office on Wednesday of the first week of school – a week of hot, humid weather that sent some other Miami Valley school students home early. “I think they’re all excited about the air conditioning” at the new building, said Mortenson, who admitted he’d been coming in at 6 a.m. the first week of school to open all the windows in order to take advantage of the cool morning air. Mortensen said school activities such as band and sports will see some of the biggest changes as students make the move. Currently, mu-

sic students at the junior high walk over to Memorial Hall for class and rehearsal times. Bigger gyms for practices and games will be welcome as well. Mortensen said there had been some discussion about basketball practices being held at the new facility this coming fall before the move, but the ﬁnal decision has yet to be made. Another change students and staff will appreciate will be the availability of up-to-date technology in each classroom. “Technology here has always been a challenge,” Mortensen said of the current junior high, noting for example numerous electrical issues when setting up computer labs. Serving as junior high principal for the past six years, Mortensen also was a junior high teacher

for four years. “I remember the day a wall blackboard came falling down on me in 2009,” he said laughing. “I was up teaching and all of a sudden the kids had the strangest looks on their faces. I didn’t know what was happening to me, but I put my arms out anyway for protection. Then the blackboard came down on my back. We got whiteboards that year.” In order to make sure the transition into the new school goes smoothly, Mortensen said the junior high did away with home room classes for this semester and created a class and lunch schedule that matches those maintained by the district’s other buildings so “all will blend together” when all four schools – Woodland, East, South and the junior high - converge into one building.

Soldier thanks locals for ‘a little taste of home’ SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – After spending the past three years serving with the United States Army, former Darke County resident Dallas Price-Holmes had a couple of things he wanted to “check off his bucket list” before heading off to college to become a helicopter pilot. One was to attend The Great Darke County Fair. The other was to give an in-person thanks to Chris Norris and Kent Zechar for their on-going service to local men and women serving in the military. So a couple weeks ago, Price-Holmes and his mom made the trip from Texas to Ohio to take care of those two bucket list items. Price-Holmes, the son of Stephanie and Mike Schuler, moved to Texas when he was in eighth grade. While serving in Germany and South Korea, he was the recipient of care packages sent through the Little Pieces of Home program, which was originally

started by Kent Zechar. In 2009, Norris, who recently retired as chief administrative ofﬁcer for Greenville Township Rescue and now works as an insurance agent with Littman Thomas Agency in Greenville, decided to send care packages to two young men who had gone to school and played sports with his sons. Norris called his idea of sending care packages “a prompting.” Then he heard Zechar had also been sending packages to military servicemen and women, so the two started working together. Norris would gather names of those serving and collect items for the boxes and Zechar would pay for the shipping. Since that time, the two have been sending boxes from Greenville to soldiers around the world each month. Stephanie Schuler calls the boxes “a little taste of home. I knew he (son Dallas) was taken care of so then I could take care of the essentials,” she said. Not only do the care packages contain needed items such as personal

hygiene – even vacuum sealed toilet paper – they also may hold holiday decorations, small household items or magazines, for example. Norris said he does research on where the box is going to before ﬁlling it up. “I’ll see what the climate is where they (soldiers) are deployed and then ﬁt the items to the weather. I also try to see what their needs are,” Norris said. “If I was sitting in Korea in April and I wanted

to see an Easter egg, well you can’t really do that,” he explains. Some of the boxes have contained what Norris referrs to as “silly” items – but a taste of home nevertheless. “Once I packed up an entire box with bouncy balls,” he said, explaining that the soldier was stationed where he had access to a PX for treats and needed items. But the box of bouncy balls he could pass out to his fellow soldiers to give them something fun

from home to help pass the time. “I want to do everything I can to support them,” Norris said of those serving in the military. “From Mardi Gras beads to blow up pumpkins, as long as it gets a chuckle or a smile on the other end, it’s worth it.” Boxes ﬁlled with items exclusively for service women also are needed, Norris said, and are marked on the outside with a pink highlighter, so if a male soldier receives it in his name he knows not to open it but to pass it on to one of the women serving in his unit. Once, Price-Holmes said, he opened a care package from Norris, which contained a small rug to brighten up his living quarters. “It made the space a little more homey,” he said. Norris said he became acquainted with PriceHolmes’ family when Mike Schuler was working as a paramedic for Greenville Township. “He (Mike) and Stephanie met while both were serving in the Army,” Nor-

ris said. Those who have names of soldiers are invited to let Norris know. He also keeps a lookout on Facebook for people who may mention a family member who is serving. Those wishing to donate items to the care packages may contact Norris via email at chris@crnorris. com or drop items off at Littman Thomas Agency, 515 E. Main St., Greenville. Holiday boxes are sent about 30 days prior to the holiday, Norris said. So Halloween items will be sent by mid- to late September. And speaking of holidays, Norris said he’d like to encourage people to donate to the military boxes year round. “Just because you are doing good at Christmas, which is a blessing, doesn’t mean the soldiers aren’t working the other 11 months of the year. It’s great people do that at Christmas, but what about the guy sitting in Afghanistan in the middle of the mountains in July?”

DARKE COUNTY - The YMCA of Darke County is excited to announce the results of the National Gymnastics Tournament held in Long Beach, Calif. The YMCA of Darke County’s long tradition of sending student athletes to the National Gymnastics Championship was continued in the 2015-2016 season. Ten gymnasts qualified for the tournament and two of their very own competed. Kristen Short, level 8, and Sammie Short, level 6, were the athletes that represented the YMCA of Darke County. Kristen brought home a medal for coming in 10th out of 86 with her floor routine. Since its premiere in 1938, the National Gymnastics Championships has set the stage for gymnasts to showcase their skills and hard work in one of the most prestigious ways possible. One thousand five hundred of the top gymnasts from 90 teams around the country traveled to Long Beach, Calif. to compete. “For Youth

Development is an area of focus that the Y takes very seriously because the youth are the future leaders and problem solvers of our community,” said Tyler Roberts, program director at the YMCA of Darke County.

Join Darke County Parks on Sept. 10, 2 p.m. for a peak into 200year-old wardrobes. After a primer on underclothes, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look at ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fashions in Paris at the time and how those styles translated to frontier life. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also see the transition in menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fashion from ostentatious to subdued. From shifts to waistcoats and bonnets to pantaloons, learn what it took to be properly dressed during the early 1800s and even how you can go about replicating those styles today within the living his-

VERSAILLES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Towne & Country Players (T&CP) has been part of the Community Arts World since 1972. This group has yearly produced at least one show or more since its conception. Many amazing people cross your path while living the dream of doing a show. Over 25 years ago they began recognizing those extraordinary people who traveled the extra mile to assure the groups success. The award was named in honor of longtime Versailles School District music teacher Esther Pitsenbarger. Mrs. P. was the one who thought every student needed a role in a show. She directed countless Operettas, Minstrel Shows, Choral Production and of course seasonal Broadway style shows for all the grades. Mrs. P. played the piano, made the costumes, painted the scenery and taught the dance. She was a one woman show. For this and her love of teaching it was an easy choice to honor her with the ďŹ rst award. The difďŹ culty is in ďŹ nding qualiďŹ ed recipients

for the future. That was easily accomplished in just a few years with Margaret Brewer, husband and wife teams of Dale & Alnora Snedeker, and Jerry & Sue Kerns were honored. Years would follow with the worthy additions of Cynthia Vogel, Marilyn Barge, Therese Pohlman, and lastly the team of Karen & Jim Kelch. Following the recently wildly successful production of Nunsense, T&CP once again presented this prestigious award. The 2016 recipients are Phyllis Corbin and Karen Lawrence. These womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credits are amazing. Lawrence began playing the piano or keyboard for one of T&CPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early shows with The Sound of Music. After that it seemed almost every show had a spot for Lawrence doing many with Terri Fryman and Jane Tester as the trio. In 1990, she was part of the group that traveled to Edinburgh, Scotland to perform with the group as they represented the United States at the Festival Fringe. Fol-

lowing that she continued to accompany as she had done all through her high school years. In addition, Lawrence marks 48 years as the organist at Trinity of Versailles. A life of celebrating music well deserves to be recognized. Phyllis Corbin ďŹ rst came to T&CP as a request from her daughter, Beth, who wanted to audition for a part in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carrouselâ&#x20AC;? and both earned a roll. From then on her dramatic de-

gree paid off and numerous character roles came her way. Her thoughtful way and keen insight to theatre operations made her a natural for two terms on the Board of Directors. Later teaming with Director Jim Kelch, Corbin served as an assistant for seven productions. Both ladies were involved with the recent production and hopefully will continue to grace the stage with their work.

VAM takes trip to Levi CoďŹ&#x192;n house Aviation student places nationally

VERSAILLES â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Children loved the television show â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where in the World is Carmen Sandiegoâ&#x20AC;?, a 1990â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show that traveled the country and the world. The Versailles Area Museum (VAM) is recreating this by organizing their mini day trips to wonderful area historical sites. On Aug. 11, they traveled southwest of Versailles

to Fountain City, Ind., originally known as Newport. This was the one time home of Quaker abolitionist, Levi CoďŹ&#x192;n. This well preserved home, one of Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s State Historical Sites, sheds light on the work of the Quakers and other abolitionists who strived to help runaway slaves travel on to Canada and freedom.

Catherine and Levi CoďŹ&#x192;n welcomed some 2,000 runaways through the doors of their home for rest and safety on their journey north. From the false bottom wagon used to transport runaway slaves to the tiny garret in an upstairs back bedroom, there was a place to rest and hide to be safe on their way north; on what today is Indiana Route 27. F o u r t e e n friends of VAM joined board

members, Connie Droesch and Jim Kelch, on a wonderful day in the country. In addition to the tour, the group enjoyed eating at Fountain Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Family Diner and shopping at Fountain Acres, a large Amish store often referred to by the locals as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amish Walmart.â&#x20AC;?
