Majority kids clean up East Main bridge grafﬁti BOB ROBINSON

GREENVILLE – “We Are the Majority” leaders and their young charges were walking the bike path under the East Main Street bridge on their way to play Putt Putt Golf. “We saw the grafﬁti (on the wall),” said Kelly Harrison, Prevention Specialist with Recovery & Wellness Centers of Midwest Ohio. “One of the leaders said ‘sure wish we could paint over this’.” A Majority leader said she saw the markings… “One of the younger kids asked what was on the wall,” she added. “Not appropriate! We need to make a change.” Some of the Majority kids met with Safety Service Director Curt Garrison. After that they made a presentation to the Greenville City Council. “The Peer Leaders came up with it,” Harrison said. Council approved it. Bright and early Aug. 31 the Majority leaders started arriving. Harrison and Greenville Street Supt. Ryan Delk were waiting for them; Delk’s department provided the supplies. “We’ll give them the

supplies,” he said. “They get to provide the labor.” The students got to work. Two hours later there was a fresh, new look on the bike path wall under the bridge. Gray primer had completely eliminated the grafﬁti. The Majority crew was taking a break, waiting for lunch… and then planning to tackle the actual paint layer. While they were waiting one of the students said something about it would be a shame to have their work messed up with another attack of grafﬁti… they had some ideas on how to keep it clean. “We’ll approach City Council on that,” she said. Overall ten students took part in the effort of the day: Alex, Kirsten, Michelle, Mariah, all Greenville, Kate, Arcanum, and Alex, Harley, Kayli and Ripley, Greenville. Mikayla, Arcanum, was also there… the project was her idea. “We Are the Majority” is a Prevention Program of the Recovery & Wellness Centers of Midwest Ohio. It is a student group dedicated to drug- and alcoholfree living. Locally, We Are the Majority members are also mentors and tutors for younger children.

GREENVILLE – Eighteen agencies and 25 programs that touch the lives of over 40 percent (nearly 20,000 people) of Darke County’s population is where your donations go when you give to the Darke County United Way. Christy Baker, executive director, announced this year’s goal in the annual fundraising campaign is $375,000. She said, “All of your contributions matter. Every dollar and cent adds up and together we are going to hit that goal.” Baker pointed out how great the need really is in the county and said, “I would love to see that number jump higher than 400,000; maybe $500,000. You see what the agencies’ needs are and it’s greater than $500,000.” In addition to supporting the regular campaign, several area businesses and organizations show their support to the Darke County United Way by sponsoring many of the daily operations, which allows every dollar raised to go to the agencies and programs the United Way supports. Jeff Miller, this year’s campaign chairman, is also

GREENVILLE – “Order a beautiful day for us,” Dave Niley, club member in charge of the Rolling 50s Classic Car Show said, “and we’ll take it from there.” It’s only a week away… South Broadway will be closed from 1 to 2 p.m. Sept. 12; show cars will start arriving after two. “We want to give everyone an opportunity to move out,” Niley said. “We won’t allow show cars in until 2 p.m.” That is when registration begins, Niley added, noting there is no pre-registration for the show. He wasn’t worried

about having plenty of cars for visitors to check out… “Last year we had about 500,” he said. Headlining the event is the Nationwide Nascar Simulator, sponsored by Matt Jordan and Nationwide Insurance. “We’ve never had this before,” Niley said. “They said this is something to really see.” Other highlights of the show include a 50/50 drawing, DJ events for the kids, hula hoop contest, 50s-60s and 70s music… “Actually the whole event is just a good time for everyone,” Niley said. The 50/50 last year generated approximately $1,100 for the winner. The club’s half was divided up between

Shriner’s Hospital and the Cancer Association of Darke County. “In addition the club made a donation to each organization,” he added. Niley had no idea how many had bought 50/50 tickets, only that they went through four rolls of them. “We sold one ticket for a dollar,” he said, “an arm’s length for $5, body length for $10… then I saw my pickup truck… we started selling a pickup truck length for $20. Do you know how many tickets that was?” They also had door prizes and “just a lot of fun!” Niley said he wanted to see everybody come out, be careful and enjoy yourselves.

ing Co. sells clothing that is Made in America entirely. From the textiles – cotton, denim, cloth, buttons – to the assembly of jeans and t-shirts is made in America. BJ and Lawson Nichols, founders of the company, pointed out it is an uphill battle as 98 percent of the denim on the market is not made in this country. According to Lawson, All American Clothing Co. closed its plant in El Paso because “we couldn’t keep the people…They weren’t USA made people.” All American Clothing Co. continues to grow and ﬁnd an audience with people that want clothing that is Made in the USA. One of their biggest sellers is a t-shirt that says in big, bold letter – NOT MADE IN CHINA. According to BJ and Lawson, other name brand companies have a few styles that can carry the Made in America label, but they generally charge a premium for the product. The majority of the local company’s jeans are priced between $52-$59. BJ said, “I don’t think we have any that are over $59.” When Sen. Brown asked the Nichols what he could do to help them, BJ didn’t hesitate to bring up the Trans-Paciﬁc Partnership (TPP). “Our industry, in

particularly whenever these big trade deals go on, has lost 85 percent of the jobs in the apparel industry. Then we hear something about another big trade policy coming in and… what’s going to happen now? Is it going to wipe us out completely?” In reference to the TPP, Brown responded, “It’s more secret than it should be. I’m very publicly against it.” He continued, “It’s almost like, whoever goes to the White House starts believing this stuff about trade. Clinton, Bush, Obama, the last presidents I served with, all three sounded different before the election.” He pointed out TPP is one of the reasons why he meets with

small businesses across Ohio. He wants to be able to take the stories back to Washington and let his colleagues know who their decisions will affect. Lawson added since his company only represents two percent of the denim market and the 98 percent are getting their money through a TPP type thing or its coming out of China. “It’s very difﬁcult for us to get big. Unless, we really throw a hard marketing thing out there...They don’t know 98 percent of those things are foreign made,” Lawson said. Lawson directed his comments to Sen. Brown, “Since we’ve been in this business, you have and your people, have done a lot of good for us.”

Bus, golf outing, and Tractor Cruise, to name a few. Also speaking at the campaign kickoff on Sept. 2 was Bill LaFramboise. He has been a strong supporter of the Darke County United Way since 1988 and was one of the people influential in taking the organization from collecting approximately $50,000 a year to where it is today. LaFramboise called supporting United Way a “no brainer.” He said the reasons to give are selfish and self-serving. He categorized the reasons as benefits to your business or organization, benefits to you and your co-workers and benefits to the community. Companies benefit because its leaders are able to interact with staff and the employer is viewed as being a caring employer. Through a United Way campaign, individuals are able to learn of the needs that exist in their community. LaFramboise pointed out there are many people in the community that don’t realize or understand how great the need is for others in their neighborhoods. The community benefits because it becomes healthier and stronger and that makes it more livable with a better economy.

outside while waiting for the mother. The suspect, her daughter and her daughter’s boyfriend were then escorted back inside. Approximately $140 in items had been taken. The suspect admitted stealing them because she didn’t have the money to pay for them. She was charged with theft. At the request of the Walmart employee, the two juveniles were not charged. On August 28 police were dispatched to Central Avenue and Fair Street regarding a theft. Police were told Eikenberry’s IGA Manager Mark Davis was chasing two suspects for removing multiple items from the store without paying for them. Davis located Jessica Murphy (Mamazza) near Central and Fair. She gave up; police were reportedly advised she had given the bag of stolen food to her boyfriend Joey Brown. Brown ran behind the Fairlawn and tossed the bag into some bushes. Davis later recovered the bag, which Murphy acknowledged was hers. Brown was apprehended a short time later by Greenville Police Chief Dennis Butts. Murphy admitted to the theft but refused to discuss Brown’s role in it. Davis witnessed her passing the bag to Brown. Brown refused to admit to the theft. Both were cited for theft. Police discovered Murphy had a warrant through Randolph County, Ind. She was transported to Darke County jail for the theft and the arrest warrant. DISORDERLY CONDUCT

On August 29 police were dispatched to 1395 Sweitzer St., Apt. 18, regarding a Keep the Peace. The complainant, Janee Thompson, said she needed to pick up personal property but was not being allowed in by her boyfriend, Austin Parkman. Thompson told police she was currently living at that address; she also had a key. Parkman was observing this through a window and reportedly yelled “The door is locked nobody’s ******* coming in.” Officers followed Thompson in; Parkman began yelling at the officers, “Get the **** out **************” and tried to stop officers from advancing into the residence. He was told their presence was requested by Thompson and they would leave as soon as she got the things she needed, and not before. Parkman got more aggressive. In an abusive

manner he approached the officers, acting like he was going to push one of them back toward the door. The officer ordered him to sit and calm down or he was going to jail. Parkman jumped up and continued yelling, which officers eventually felt was becoming a safety issue. He was arrested for obstructing official business. Parkman struggled as officers attempted to handcuff him. He continued to struggle as officers put him in the back of a cruiser. He was taken to Darke County jail, on the way allegedly threatening the officers with bodily harm. He was charged with obstructing official business and resisting arrest. On August 28 police responded to 313 North St. regarding a possible domestic between Debbie Mayer and a relative. Officers reportedly could hear the arguing and entered the residence. Mayer said one of the officers had tasered her through the door and broke her aorta. Officers advised they had not used their tasers. She kept yelling and calling the officers “******* and *******.” The relative left the residence. When they got her outside she began yelling at neighbors and at the victim and her daughter. Mayer was warned repeatedly for disorderly. She returned to her residence. The next day police responded to the same address to assist Greenville Rescue. Mayer was outside yelling obscenities at the neighbors and officers. Greenville Rescue said they’d received a call from Mayer on the business line saying she was having heart problems from being tasered. They were advised Mayer had not been tasered. Rescue said she appeared to be having no health problems and due to her erratic behavior they would not treat her. They left the scene. Mayer continued to yell at neighbors and officers and was warned several times for disorderly. Darke County and Mercer jails were contacted and neither had room for a female. Mayer was cited for disorderly and released. On August 27 police were dispatched to Greenville Police Department regarding a disorderly complaint. The victim (not named in this report as a possible juvenile) had been driving to school with his sisters and brother. While on S.R. 571 he tried to pass a vehicle but

it sped up and he had to pull back behind it. After that the driver of the vehicle slammed on his brakes “around six times,” almost causing the victim to rearend the vehicle. When they arrived in Greenville, the vehicle stopped on Union Street around Ft. Recovery Street. Two males exited. The driver pulled open the victim’s door and tried to pull him out of the vehicle. The victim grabbed the steering wheel. The suspect turned off the engine and took the keys; the victim grabbed the keys back. The suspect then returned to his vehicle and left. According to the victim he tried to talk to the suspect who just screamed and cussed at him. A friend had witnessed the incident. He said when he saw the suspect try to pull the victim out he started to exit his vehicle to help. That was when the suspect left the scene. Police were able to trace the driver who told them the other vehicle had tried to pass but couldn’t because of oncoming trafﬁc. He said the vehicle was driving recklessly and almost hit them. He added they went back to the ve-

hicle to yell at him about the way he was driving. He thought the driver was going to try to drive away so he turned off the key to his vehicle. After yelling at the driver they returned to their vehicle and left the scene. The incident is under investigation. DRUGS

On August 28 police were dispatched to the 100 block of Oakwood Avenue regarding the defendant lying in the alley unconscious. The ofﬁcer checked him for injuries; was able to wake him up. He was reportedly somewhat incoherent and tried to stand up. A glass pipe fell to the ground; it had a strong odor of marijuana. The ofﬁcer asked if he had done any other drugs. The defendant responded he’d just bought the marijuana and had only smoked that. Greenville Rescue arrived; the defendant refused treatment but was still having trouble standing and staying awake. He was transported to the Greenville Police Department where he was issued a misdemeanor citation for possession of marijuana drug paraphernalia and released to his father.

Fleming gets 30 days for hitting pedestrian BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – It was nearly a year ago when Sarah Fleming, of Greenville, chose to get behind the wheel of her car after drinking and becoming intoxicated. The decision could have been deadly when she struck a pedestrian, Randy Brooks. The crash sent Brooks to Miami Valley Hospital via CareFlight. On June 29, she appeared in Darke County Common Pleas Court and pleaded guilty to the charges of Operating a Vehicle while Intoxicated (OVI) and Attempted Aggravated Vehicular Assault. On Sept. 1 she learned the penalty for her actions. Judge Jonathan P. Hein sentenced Fleming to 30 days in the Darke County Jail with one day credit. Although Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Jesse Green sought sentences of 90 and 180 days with 90 days suspended and 90 days to serve in jail with the terms running concurrently and a six-month license suspension on both charges. There is no restitution because Medicaid covered the medical expenses. Defense Attorney Randall Breaden said it’s obvious his client is an alcohol-

ic and suffered for years with a history of alcohol abuse, which he noted, is evident from her criminal history. “Other than that, I believe she has been a law abiding citizen,” he said. “As long as she stays sober she is doing pretty well.” Breaden argued a community control sanction was appropriate and pointed out she currently has a full time job. In addition to the 30 days in jail, Judge Hein ordered 60 days of house arrest after she is released from jail, 75 hours of community service, six month license suspension and supervision for up to 60 months. If she fails to comply with the order she faces up to 20 months in prison. Judge Hein is hoping the sentence will get her “dialed in and strong enough to cope.”

The organization has acquired property, drawn up plans and is pursuing a 501(C)3 not for proﬁt status. Phillip Pierri and Matt Steyer addressed council and asked what their next step should be. YOLO believes it is close to starting its fundraising campaign to raise nearly $750,000 to create a park and build the splash pad. According to Pierri, the splash pad will be located at the corner of Martin and South Broadway where the Hamburger Shoppe was located. The plans show the park area would require the city to vacate a portion of the parking lot. YOLO plans to deed the property and splash pad to the city once the work is complete. City Law Director Eric Brand suggested the organization and the city work out an agreement before YOLO

begins its fundraising campaign. Several council members agreed the park area would be a great addition to the city’s downtown area. Don’t expect the project to be completed in the next year or two.

Local men charged with 2012 Greenville armed robberies BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE - After a three year investigation, the Greenville Police Department has charged two local men with a rash of armed robberies that occurred in October and November of 2012 at several local businesses. Heath A. Gessler, 29, and Evan L. Bowman, 23, of Greenville were booked into the Darke County jail Monday afternoon on charges of Complicity to Aggravated Robbery and Kidnapping, felonies of the ﬁrst degree. They were both interviewed Monday and admitted to the crimes, according to a press release from the Greenville Police Department. The men face charges in connection with a robbery at The Flower Patch on Oct. 25, 2012 in which they allegedly tied up a clerk while brandishing a handgun during the robbery. They are also said to be connected with two other similar robberies at the former Parkside Beverage Dock and Fairground Drive-Thru in Greenville. The three offenses occurred within a two week crime spree that left local businesses on high alert. “Rick, myself along with Jennifer and Katie are so grateful to the Greenville PD for their hard work, commitment and staying diligent

over the past three years,” said The Flower Patch owner Kathy Beam. “We can all rest a little easier now!” A large cash reward was offered following the violent crimes. The clerk at The Flower Path robbery was able to provide enough description that an artist rendering was developed with a flyer to help in the investigation. The case has remained on the Unsolved Crimes page on the Darke County Crime Stoppers website since the robberies occurred. Gessler and Bowman remain jailed on bond. Darke County Common Pleas Court Jonathan P. Hein ordered a $150,000 bond for Gessler and a $100,000 bond for Bowman. Both are scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing on Sept. 10. Several additional charges will be presented to the Grand Jury later this month. The pair faces a maximum of 11 years on each first degree felony charge, in addition to gun specifications that carry a three year mandatory sentence for each robbery. If anyone has additional information regarding these crimes, please contact the Greenville Police Department at 937-548-1103 or the Darke County Crime Stoppers tipline at 937-5471661, you can remain anonymous.

Day 1 at Greenville High School starts smoothly BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – “It’s confusing until it’s not confusing anymore,” said Asst. Principal David Torrance. “Then it’s no big deal.” He was on bus duty at Greenville High School Sept 2, and directing students to the gym/ cafeteria entrance. Most were taking the ﬁrst day of school – even with the changes – in stride. Some were happy to ask questions… “I don’t even know my home room,” said one student. “Everybody’s in the same boat… nobody knows room numbers yet,” Torrance told her. “I just posted them.” He told her how to ﬁnd the lists then greeted the next group of students just off the bus. For those who chose to take advantage of it, the Student Council had conducted tours of the renovated high school the day before. Some students looked around and smiled. “It’s nice,” said one. Another said the same thing, adding AC and the new sci-

ence rooms would be great. “It should be a really nice year,” she added. “The students each have their own lockers now,” Torrance said. “I can’t remember that since I’ve been here,” he added. He noted the air conditioning, the new science areas and more, then said, “other than that it’s the same as usual… 200 kids don’t know what’s going on (freshmen) and 200 more (seniors) can’t wait to get out in 276 days.” He noted he likes to keep track of school days for the various classes and is happy to share them

with the students. Freshmen only have about 1,300 days (give or take), sophomores about 1,000 and juniors about 600… all give or take. On hand as the buses came in was Greenville Superintendent Douglas Fries. Everything was ready, buses all arrived on time. The beginning of the ﬁrst day of the year at Greenville High School had started smoothly. “One of the really nice things,” Fries said just prior to the arrival of the buses, “is the air conditioning… it will really be nice to have the AC here.”

Arcanum woman gets 12 months for stealing $134,000 BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – On Sept. 1, Lynette K. Foureman, of Arcanum, learned the penalty for stealing $134,514 from three estates from 2010-2014 while working as a legal secretary for Sidney attorney Gary Flinn. Judge Jonathan P. Hein ordered two 12 month prison sentences to be served concurrently for the thefts and restitution in the amount of $35,478. Foureman pleaded guilty in June for taking $107,935 from the estate of Arthur Schaub between 2010 and 2014. She also admitted taking $24,579 from the estate of Ruth Schaub and $2,000 from the estate of Helen Meyer. According to Prosecuting Attorney R. Kelly Ormsby, it is believed the estates have been made whole by the insurance company. Ormsby said, “The money appears, based on her (Foureman’s) statements, seems to have gone in large part to things that don’t make a lot of sense necessarily to the State. When she talks about graduation and gifts to her daughter’s friends…made payments for her daughter to go to college and then the expense of things that her husband liked and encouraged her and wanted to do. Like going out to dinner and buying certain

foods that were more expensive.” The prosecutor asked the judge for a 24 month aggregate sentence, stating, “I don’t have any feelings of vindictiveness toward the defendant here, but I don’t see how a community control sanction would deter anybody else who works for a small business and has access to a lot of money…I don’t know how they would be deterred from doing this if the result of stealing more than $100,000 is 30 days in the Darke County jail.” When asking for community control sanctions, Defense Attorney Randall Breaden noted this was the defendant’s first offense – having been law abiding for 55 years of her life. He explained Mrs. Foureman had a home environment that had become overwhelming to her. Her daughter was a senior in high school, her mother was ill and her husband was working part time. “She was basically the bread winner of that family at that point,” Breaden said. “They fell back drastically behind financially and she felt the burden of keeping everyone afloat was falling on her.” He continued, “I don’t think you’ll ever see Mrs. Foureman back in front of you

for any other reason.” Foureman spoke on her own behalf, “I have been filled with regret, remorse, shame and embarrassment for over the past year when I finally confessed to what I had done. I have tried to come up with the words to say how regretful I feel and there just aren’t any.” When handing down the sentence, Judge Hein pointed out he was prohibited by law to give consecutive sentences. He then directed his comments to the defendant, “This is not a community control sanctions case Mrs. Foureman. When I look at the long time and the nature of the conduct and the amount of harm involved it calls for a prison sentence, which is certainly punishment to you, but also means to deter the hundreds and hundreds of people in this county that have fiduciary duty to handle other people’s money in a lawful manner.” He continued, “With six figures of theft involved…it’s not possible to say a local sanction would not demean when in fact it would.” Judge Hein warned he wasn’t sure what the prison system would do when he sends her there. “The prison system has this amazing system of letting people out. They look at the worst of the worst. When I send her to prison they are going to screen her compared to every other thief that comes from around Ohio and then the prison system has this backdoor.” He noted he has sent people to prison and received letters in two weeks saying the prisoner was being released.

ON YOUR MIND

READERS WRITE Is This America’s Legacy?

I am terrified the “damage” done and being done to the “Legacy of America” cannot and will not be corrected in time to prevent greater damage to America’s Legacy. Prestige: Honor and status of being the “greatest country in the world.” These are some of the things causing damage to America’s Legacy. The huge debt, the IRS scandal, the Benghazi scandal, the A.P. – James Rosen fiasco, Obamacare right or wrong for the country, untraceable and untrackable guns to Mexico, state department miscues miscalculations, NSA illegally recording and storing phone numbers and other information, the VA mishandling and mistreatment of our veterans, the application centers mishandling and gross mistakes made, immigration controversy, same sex controversy, the enormous waste through entire government, using divisiveness to upset everyone, widespread corruption by prompting people who should have been fired, making decisions without proper authority to do so, not following the Constitution, and the biggest, telling deliberate lies to get their way. Mr. President and Congress is this America’s Legacy? This is not what I believe America’s Legacy should be. Yes, there are a multitude of problems, but they should be and can be solved. The important ingredient is the willingness to work on these problems and get them solved. Mr. President: Have you caused any of the deterioration that is going on now to America’s Legacy of being the greatest country in the world? Or, are you

hiding behind gargantuan misunderstanding and misinterpretation of everything that you hope will cover up your wrongdoings? How are you going to explain America’s deteriorating legacy to your grandchildren and great grandchildren? Is this really the legacy you want to leave them? Think about this – As America’s Legacy deteriorates so does yours. You can help make changes to America’s Legacy by working to correct all that you have done that has brought us to this point in time. Are you, Mr. President, smart enough to realize and recognize what I am telling you is the real truth? Or, are you still under the extreme misunderstanding the misinterpretation of everything that will only make America’s Legacy worse? It is my most sincere hope and greatest wish that this country’s legacy does not suffer any more damage because its president and congress made a lot of bad decisions and horrendously bad judgments causing this inexcusable, unexplainable and unnecessary damage to America’s Legacy. I really want them, president and congress, to understand and comprehend the importance of making repairs to our legacy while there is still time to make those repairs. I am saddened because you, Mr. President, and you, Congress, have allowed America’s Legacy to deteriorate as it has been doing because you failed to realize and recognize the warning signs of that deterioration. Dale W. Curtis, Greenville

Latest investment in Workforce Development COLUMBUS– Ohio has invested more than $670,000 in job training through local training programs since the inception of the state’s Workforce Revolving Loan Fund. State Senators Bill Beagle (R-Tipp City) and Troy Balderson (R-Zanesville) jointly sponsored Senate Bill 1, which established the Workforce Development Revolving Loan program in 2013. Senate Bill 1 created the Revolving Loan Fund with $25 million from casino license fees to support regional workforce needs and prepare Ohio workers for skilled jobs. Public and private colleges and universities, career colleges and career technical centers can apply for up to $100,000 per job training program to provide low interest loans of up to $10,000 for individuals to pay for training. “The Workforce Development Revolving Loan Fund is a phenomenal program that encourages fast job placement, fair student loans and more opportunities for Ohioans to gain needed job skills to contribute to the changing workforce needs of our state,” said Beagle. The Ohio Board of Re-

gents gives preference to proposals that emphasize direct job placement upon program completion and support in-demand careers. Loans paid off within six months are interest-free. Students that need more time to pay off their loans are given low interest rates, and any interest paid goes back into the revolving loan fund for future applicants. The following programs have received support from the Workforce Revolving Loan Fund: * Apollo Career Center, Truck Driving Academy; $99,000 * Clark State Community College, CDL Training Program; $99,000 * Cuyahoga Community College, Fast Track Welding Boot Camp; $26,970 * Cuyahoga Community College, Truck Driving Academy; $94,905 * Cuyahoga Community College, Right Skills Now; $87,285 * Cuyahoga Community College, Network Support Specialists; $90,000 * Groove U, Music Industry Career Program; $100,000 * Lorain County Community College, Ready Mix Truck Driving Program; $76,350

A Grumpy Old Man’s Heart Grumpy Side of 60 by Bob Robinson Associate Editor bluebagmedia.com

“Mr. Robinson?” Hey, buddy. Glad to see you!! “It’s been a long time,” he said. Well, maybe to him it has. He was one of my tutoring students summer before last. For someone on the Grumpy Side of 60, summer before last is only slightly further back than yesterday. Seeing him made my day… probably one of the sweetest kids I’ve ever worked with. Quiet. Very shy. It took me a week just to get him to smile… then another week or two to hear more from him than “yes, no, uh uh, uh huh, okay…” By summer’s end he still wasn’t comfortable in groups but he was reading much better and seemed to be enjoying it more. “So are you looking forward to school?” I asked

A constituent brought to my attention the need to make access to JIM BUCHY OHIO O h i o ’ s REPRESENTATIVE birth and death certiﬁcates easier and more affordable. In the past the local County Boards of Health and the State Health Department have had different policies on how to access these documents. Although allowing local Boards to operate as they see ﬁt is an optimal way to govern, this current policy creates confusion and unnecessary expenses as people travel the state to track down these important family documents. For genealogists, access to these records is critical to prove fam-

catch up with his buddies. Every once in a while an older student would stop and talk for a minute… then his or her friends would get bored and start to move on. That typically stopped the conversation with a wave and “bye, see ya!” One memorable moment, however, almost had me picking myself off the ground. I heard “Mr. Robinson!” as she slammed into my side, wrapping her arms around my waist. I turned around (once I caught my balance) and grinned. She looked familiar… well, a little, but I couldn’t really place her. “Hey, sweety! You having fun?” She nodded her head enthusiastically. I was still trying to ﬁgure out her school (I’m pretty good at faces, just lousy at names). “Are you at East this year, South?” She shook her head. “We moved,” she said. She told me where (it was someplace out of the county), then said she was at Woodland the last time she saw me.

“Oh good grief,” I thought as it began to dawn on me. “I subbed in your kindergarten class?” She nodded. “We talked once in the cafeteria? You remember what you told me?” She nodded again, giggled, big grin… The last time I saw her she was hugging my kneecaps. This was the little one who wanted to marry me when she got big. Needless to say that was no longer on her priority list. She talked about how much fun she was having with the rides and her friends. The Great Darke County Fair was an annual pilgrimage for her family, and she got to keep in contact with her buddies every year. Speaking of her friends… none of them knew me. They were standing around trying to ﬁgure out who this old guy was and why their friend had any interest in talking to a dinosaur. Frankly, I don’t know why, either. But I love it. It does a Grumpy Old Man’s heart good.

him. He made a face. I guess that answered my question. We talked some more as mom listened. I glanced at her… she was grinning. “So how’s he doing in school?” I asked. Her grin widened and she gave me a ‘thumbs up.’ I can’t begin to tell you how pleased I was… he was open, outgoing and comfortable. And most important, willing to talk! We had a conversation which was pretty much impossible when we started working together when summer started. And he was doing well in school. Yeah, mom was delighted, too. He gave me a wave and a grin as he and mom took off to their next destination. As I had anticipated, I saw a lot of “my kids” at the fairgrounds this year. It’s funny how they seem to grow up between the last couple months of school and late August. “Hey Mr. Robinson” said one young lady as she rushed by with one of her friends… “Mr. Robinson!!” A wave from a distance as he took off to

ily lineage and aide in their research. County Boards of Health around the state have traditionally been able to handle these requests in a variety of ways based on local preferences. Some boards have required these genealogists and researchers to purchase a “certiﬁed copy” of these documents while other boards around the state have allowed researchers to take pictures of the document instead. The Ohio Department of Health worked with the legislature to include a provision in the biennial budget that provides uniformity for all county boards of health on this important matter. Rather than having some county boards allow pictures and others

require the purchase of a certified copy, this fall all 88 Boards of Health will be required to allow the public to take pictures of both birth and death certificates. This is an optimal solution to bureaucracy in the age of smart phones when so many Ohioans have a camera readily available. In the future, rather than dealing with inconsistencies and possible expenses, all Ohioans will have easy and affordable access to birth and death certificates. In deliberations,

Ohio’s genealogist veriﬁed that a photo of the certiﬁcate would satisfy requirements for proof of lineage. This is a common sense reform that is improving the lives of Ohioans in western Ohio and across the state by removing the red tape and getting them what they want easily and affordably.

YFC ‘s Heroes from Home campaign GREENVILLE – Can you be a hero while sitting at home? Youth for Christ believes the answer to that question is, “Yes!” and is showing people how they can be a hero for a local teenager through its “Heroes from Home” campaign, which will take place on Sept. 21-26. More than 9,000 teenagers live in Darke and Preble Counties, and more than 70 percent of them are not connected to a church or other ministry and are not receiving religious teaching or direction at home. While some might argue that faith is not important, most people would agree that many young people struggle with important issues such as feeling valued, having respect for life, or ﬁnding purpose and direction. Youth for Christ helps teenagers with all of these

Youth for Christ of the Miami Valley has a new superhero mascot. YFC Guy will be promoting the Heroes from Home campaign.

issues as “YFC” volunteers come alongside them and help them to come to know Christ. “The purpose of the “He-

roes from Home” campaign is to show adults in our community that every person can make a difference in a teenager’s life even if they don’t feel like they relate well to teens or have the knowledge or skills necessary for ministry,” says Neal Crawford, executive director of Youth for Christ of the Miami Valley. “Throughout the month of September we’ll communicate that message through a variety of mediums including even public appearances by YFC’s new superhero mascot, “YFC Guy.” During that last week of September, individuals are encouraged to “Help a kid!” and to do that, they can “donate, enroll, or bid.” Each of these actions can be taken online, by phone, or even by mail. Here’s a short description of each of these opportunities. * Donate: You can sup-

port YFC’s mission at any time during the year, but on Sept. 21-26 Youth for Christ is asking people to especially consider an investment in teenagers through the campaign. People already connected with YFC will receive an invitation to support the cause either through the mail or electronically, but those who don’t receive a direct invitation can still participate by going to yfcmv. org/heroes. * Enroll: Sign up with Kroger and Amazon to have money rebated to Youth for Christ for each purchase you make when you show your Kroger Plus Card or through Amazon’s “Smile” site. You can learn more and enroll at yfcmv.org/heroes * Bid: Youth for Christ has some great merchandise, sports tickets, and gift certiﬁcates to be sold at the Heroes from Home Online

Auction the week of Sept. 21. Sale bills will be distributed a couple weeks before the sale, or you can see the items collected so far by using the “bid” link at yfcmv. org/heroes. You can also call in or drop off your bids, and all items will be available for inspection the week before the sale. Between now and Sept. 21, you may notice Youth for Christ being more visible online and through local media and yard signs as YFC shares stories about lives that are being changed and informs people about how they can be a hero in a young person’s life, not just from home, but also “in the ﬁeld” sharing their faith and love. In the meantime, if you’d like to learn more about the upcoming “Heroes from Home” campaign, check out yfcmv.org/heroes or call 548-2477.

Arcanum takes three straight over Bradford BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

ARCANUM – The Lady Trojans hosted the Bradford Lady Railroaders in a varsity volleyball matchup taking the three game set 3-0 over the visitors. “A win is always nice but I like the girls to play at a higher level than they did tonight,” said Arcanum Coach Terri Day. “We had too many unforced errors.” “We just need to prepare a little bit better for the next game,” said Bradford Coach Maddie Armstrong, “and we’re going to come out ready to play.” Game one had nine ties with the last coming at 1717 before the Lady Trojans scored four consecutive points to lead 21-17. Each team would put four points on the board the balance of the set giving the home team a 25-21 win. Game two had the score

tied early at 2-2, 3-3 and 4-4 before Arcanum outscored the Lady Railroaders 21-11 to take a 25-15 win. The third and ﬁnal game of the night had Arcanum holding a slim 4-3 advantage before six unanswered Lady Trojans points had the girls from Arcanum holding a comfortable 10-3 lead. Bradford bounced back to outscore Arcanum 9-7 to cut the Lady Trojans’ lead to 17-12 but it was Arcanum outscoring the Lady Railroaders 8-6 the remainder of the game to win game three 25-18. “We are going to be ready to play the next game,” said Armstrong. “We did have good points tonight but you got to maintain,” said Day. “You just can’t go up and down and up and down. You just have to stay at that higher level and we kind of fell quite a few times tonight… I’m still going to take the win.”

PITSBURG – The Franklin Monroe Lady Jets soccer team started the 2015 season this past week and posted a 1-1-1 record. They kicked off the season at home against Botkins and both teams put stellar defenses on the ﬁeld. They played 80 minutes to a 0-0 tie. On Aug. 31, the Lady Jets traveled to Northwestern to take on the sixth ranked team. The score remained close in the ﬁrst half with the home team holding a 2-0 lead. FM drew close in

the second half with goal from Bryanna Diceanu, but Northwestern came back with two quick goals to take the 4-1 victory. On Sept. 3, the Lady Jets went on the road again, this time to National Trail. Both sides of the ball got on track, limiting the Blazers to one goal while the Jets knocked four into the net. FM got two goals from freshman Shelby Bowser and one each from Nychelle Cool and Jessica Hinshaw. Coach Scott Howell said his team is showing heart. However, he is still searching for a lineup that works.

GREENVILLE – The Green Wave varsity boys soccer team lost a 1-0 squeaker to Fairborn at Harmon field before a good home crowd. “A great game… a really great game,” said Greenville Coach Brent DeVoss. “The guys showed heart tonight after a crushing defeat Tuesday night against Wayne. Fairborn comes to town… another great team out of the GWOC and we stuck in there with them. Gave up that goal in the first half.” “We kept our heads up and we kept fighting,” continued DeVoss. “Showed some real great leadership out there from our older players and it was really exciting to watch.” The Green Wave continue to show improvement while holding a good Fairborn team scoreless for the entire 40-minutes of the second half.

Greenville varsity soccer player Mac Kirk, a junior, is shown in a matchup against Fairborn.

“We are still a young squad… junior strong with a great freshman group coming in,” said DeVoss. “Our sophomores held strong tonight. This year we have depth so as our players mature and get older, if somebody gets tired I feel real conﬁdent going to the bench.” A late ﬁrst half Fairborn goal would prove to be the only point to make it on the scoreboard for the Thursday night match.

Coach DeVoss was quick to give praise to his players for the effort of play at both ends on the ﬁeld for the night. “Joe Suter, one of our senior captains back there on defense locked that defense down,” DeVoss stated. “We had our troubles the other night but Joe really vocally communicated to his players… kept them body on body… really marked up with those guys. They were really fast but he was up to

the task tonight.” “AJ Frens with our keeping tonight, another great outing with AJ keeping us in the games and really talking,” added DeVoss, “and Tani Mancillas in the middle just nonstop work effort… just kept going and going and never quitting.” Two team leaders for Coach DeVoss are also suited up on Friday nights providing the kicking for the Green Wave varsity football team. “Jordan Ernst and AJ Frens… they don’t come off the pitch, they don’t want to come off the pitch,” DeVoss said. “They keep working hard and then tomorrow night (Friday) they are going to go kick for football… then they are going to get up Saturday morning and be ready to go again for me, so just an outstanding effort on both parts to keep working hard and come and give me the effort that they do. It’s just outstanding on their part.”

Wave opens season with 10 point win over Eaton

Greenville Jr. High football dominates West Carrollton BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – The Green Wave eighth graders put on a football clinic in front of a home crowd at Harmon Field by defeating the West Carrollton Pirates 46-6 Wednesday night. “We have a lot of heart,” said Greenville eighth grade Coach Josh Gilmore. “We have speed but this team has a lot of heart. These guys come in and they do work. They want to get better. This is a team that loves the game of football and they are going to do whatever it takes to get better.” The eighth graders jumped out to a 26-0 ﬁrst half lead while the Wave seventh grade team was leading 38-0 at the half on the road at West Carrollton. The Green Wave eighth grade boys led 33-0 after three complete and had a 39-0 lead before the Pirates scored on a 28-yard fourth

quarter pass play after the Wave made wholesale substitutions. “At the junior high level it’s all about experience,” said Gilmore. “It’s not always the easiest to get everybody in the game but when we have a chance, our goal is to get everybody in.” A 65-yard Marcus Wood touchdown run with 2:01 showing on the game clock would close out scoring on the night giving the Wave eighth graders and 46-6 win. “It’s a huge ﬁrst step,” Gilmore said. “We are going the right way.” “I love these kids,” added Gilmore. “This is my second year with them. Just a great group of kids. A lot of talent. Greenville looks good… a lot of talent coming.” The seventh grade football team ended the night shutting out the Pirates 44-0 at West Carrollton.

FM gets lopsided win over National Trail BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

NEW PARIS – The Franklin Monroe boys soccer team traveled to National Trail and was able to post an 11-0 victory over the Blazers. Before 10 minutes ticked off the clock, the Jets had put the game out of reach and held a 3-0 lead. Danny Diceanu immediately began getting his bench much needed playing time. By halftime, Franklin Monroe was leading 8-0. The score could have

been much worse for National Trail, but Coach Diceanu had his team working on possession and passing. “The only thing you can do is try to move the ball and do the right things, put yourself in the right position, try to ﬁnd the open man and frustrate the other team,” said Diceanu. Although they were able to post a convincing win, Diceanu said his team isn’t playing well to start the season. He doesn’t feel they are getting the right touches or movements.

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – The Green Wave Varsity football team opened the 2015 season with a 30-20 win over the visiting Eaton Eagles. “I’m just really proud of the way the guys played tonight” said Greenville Coach Aaron Shaffer. “Good effort.” The Wave took advantage of touchdowns from its offense, defense and special teams to lead 24-0 at the break. “It’s really neat to see that all three facets of the game paid off for us tonight, but again there are things that we’ve got to get shored up in all three areas,” Shaffer stated. “It’s early in the season so there’s a lot of work to be done.” Greenville’s senior quarterback Clay Guillozet got the locals on the board with 10:59 showing on the ﬁrst quarter clock with a 62-yard touchdown run on the third play of the game. A Jordan Ernst PAT kick split the uprights giving the Wave a 7-0 lead. Facing fourth-and-14 on their ﬁrst set of downs, Eaton was forced to punt from deep in its own territory only to have Logan

Eldridge gather in a Wave blocked punt and scamper 17-yards for a touchdown giving Greenville a 14-0 lead 2:29 into the contest. An Eldridge interception halted an Eaton drive after picking up three Eagle’s first downs followed with the teams trading punts. Greenville extended its lead to 21-0 with Justin Brown retuning a 74-yard interception for a touchdown with 8:22 on the second quarter clock. “He’s making that interception in traffic,” said Shaffer. “Kid’s got arms on him and he’s able to break free and go. I’m pretty confident that if Justin Brown gets in open space he’s not going to be caught.” Ernst gave the Wave a 24-0 halftime lead making good on a field goal with 4:32 on the second quarter clock.

Eaton drove 80-yards on the opening drive of the third period scoring on a fourth and goal from the one to make it at 24-6 game as the Wave defense stopped the Eagle twopoint conversion attempt. The Green Wave defense stopped Eaton on a fourth and eight at the Greenville nine yard line at 4:10 in the third period turning the ball over to the Wave on downs. Greenville drove 91yards for a score with Devin Hendrix hauling in a 36yard touchdown pass from Guillozet with 30-seconds on the third quarter clock sending the teams to the fourth quarter of play with the Wave leading 30-6. Eaton would add two fourth-quarter touchdowns and a two-point conversion to make a ﬁnal score of 3020.

Guillozet passed for 102yards going 6-for-14 and a touchdown while leading the Wave with 134-rushing yards and one touchdown on 11-carries. “We got Clay going,” Shaffer said. “Had a couple nice runs… nice throws. Defensively shut that team out for a half. That is something else with that running back they have. The quarterback slings it around pretty good.” Hendrix led six Wave receivers on the night with 36-yards and a touchdown. Erick Madison led Greenville’s defense with 16 tackles including seven solo tackles and one sack. Brown had 14 tackles, an interception and a touchdown. Eldridge added seven tackles, an interception and a special team’s touchdown. The new Wave cannon got a workout on the night as Greenville was scoring touchdowns, extra points and a ﬁeld goal. “That thing was amazing,” said Shaffer. “It’s something that will be here for a long time. To be able to have a cannon back and hear it boom like that, it’s really neat. I think it really adds to the tradition and atmosphere of Greenville football.”

UC Cheer wins top spot at Indiana State Fair competition BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com UNION CITY, Ind. – The Union City High School varsity cheerleaders brought home the ﬁrst place trophy from the Indiana State Fair Cheerleading Competition in Indianapolis on Saturday, August 15. The competition is the longest running cheerleading competition in the state of Indiana. The girls competed in the Small Varsity Non-Music division which went by the size of the squad… not school. UC was considered somewhat of an underdog, competing against much larger schools from around the state. After placing in the top ﬁve in the preliminaries, the girls advanced to

the finals later that evening. After finishing in 4th place in 2014, the squad’s goal was to at least top that… they were full of excitement when the judges announced Union City as the winners, according to Head Coach Heather Jefferis. “The moment we realized we won was unbelievable,” Jefferis told The Early Bird. “I have to say they performed the best they ever have in the finals. We would be have been happy just knowing that we did our best!” The team would like to thank – UCI Mayor Bryan Conklin, the Union City Indiana Fire Department and Police Department for providing the team with the great escort upon their return home that Saturday night, the UCHS

Local DAR promotes Constitution Week

Sandy Baker, community relations director; Debbie Baker, executive director; and Alaina Dittmar, care services manager, joined Mayor Mike Bowers for the proclamation signing.

Oakley Place open house is Sept. 10 GREENVILLE – Oakley Place will be celebrating National Assisted Living Week Sept. 13-19. Greenville Mayor Mike Bowers recently signed a proclamation recognizing the importance of assisted living facilities like Oakley Place. The proclamation reminds everyone that residents of assisted living communities are active members of the larger community and offer wisdom, life experiences and skills. Bowers said their past contributions continue to be a vital part of Greenville’s rich

history. Assisted living is a critical long term care service for the elderly and individuals with disabilities that fosters choice, dignity and independence. Debbie Baker, executive director of Oakley Place, pointed out her facility is committed to excellence, innovation and the advancement of personcentered care. Oakley Place will be having an open house on Sept. 10, 1 p.m., to celebrate this special week. Be sure to ask about some of the other activities they have planned.

Fire dept. gives school safety reminder GREENVILLE – With the 2015 school year starting and school children making their way to school, the City of Greenville Fire Department would like to remind everyone to be alert and plan for the extra time needed for children during school hours. According to National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), the Leading cause of death and injuries of children ages 2-14 are vehicle accidents. This means that on any given day nearly 700 children are harmed on the road ways. Every day in the United States, an average of four children age 14 and younger were killed and 529 were injured in motor vehicle crashes during 2008. The school hours for the city of Greenville varies for the public and private sector generally though schools start in our area around 7:30 a.m. and ends around 3:45 p.m. Buses will begin their pick-up of children approximately one hour prior to school starting and one hour after school lets out. The national Highway Transportation Safety Administration reports that from 2003 to 2012 there

have been 348,253 fatal motor vehicle traffic crashes. Of those, 1,222 (0.35 percent) were classified as school transportation-related. If you are planning to transport your child this year to school remember that failure to wear your seat belt or use a safety seat contributing factor in more than half of the cases involving children who die in a car accident. Take the extra time during school transportation hours to allow for the school buses to stop for the children. Remember if school bus is stop and red lights flashing you must come to a complete stop and be aware of children loading and unloading the school bus. Be alert at cross walks and look to make sure they are clear from pedestrians. If you are using a child safety restraint and need assistance with installation or have question contact City of Greenville Fire Department for their child safety restraint technician. The City of Greenville Fire Department would like to make this a successful school year and ensure we all help make it safe for the children.

GREENVILLE – Sept. 17 begins the national celebration of Constitution Week. The weeklong commemoration of America’s most important document is one of our country’s least known ofﬁcial observances. Our Constitution stands as a testament to the tenacity of Americans throughout history to maintain their liberties and freedom, and to ensure those unalienable rights to every American. On Sept. 2, the Darke County Commissioners proclaimed Sept. 17-23 as Constitutional Week in the county at the behest of the Fort Greene Ville Chapter of the DAR. The tradition of celebrating the Constitution was started many years ago by the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). In 1955, the Daughters petitioned Congress to set aside September 17-23 annually to be dedicated for the observance of Constitution Week. The resolution was later adopted by the U.S. Congress and signed into Public Law #915 on August 2, 1956 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The aims of the celebration are to (1) emphasize citizens’ responsibilities for protecting and defending the Constitution, preserving it for posterity; (2) inform the people that the Constitution is the basis for America’s great heritage and the foundation for our way of life; and (3) encourage the study of the historical events which led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787. The United States of America functions as a Republic under the Constitution, which is the oldest document still in active use that outlines the self-gov-

ernment of a people. This landmark idea that men had the inalienable right as individuals to be free and live their lives under their own governance was the impetus of the American Revolution. Today, the Constitution stands as an icon of freedom for people around the world. “We must remember and teach that those who wrote the Constitution believed that no government can create freedom, but that government must guard freedom rather than encroach upon the freedoms of its people” stated Merry Ann T. Wright, President General of the DAR. “The Constitution by itself cannot guarantee liberty. A nation’s people can remain free only by being responsible citizens who are willing to learn about the rights of each arm of government and require that each is accountable for its own function. Therefore, Constitution Week is the perfect opportunity to read and study this great document which is the safeguard of our American liberties. We encourage all citizens across the country to take time this week to guard that which is committed to us by our forefathers... our freedom.” DAR has served America for 120 years as its foremost cheerleader. In 1928, the Daughters began work on a building as a memorial to the Constitution. John Russell Pope, architect of the Jefferson Memorial, was commissioned to design the performing arts center, known as DAR Constitution Hall. Today, DAR Constitution Hall is the only structure erected in tribute to the Constitution of the United States of America. Known as the larg-

Smokin’ Pin hopes to strike new life into UC CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY – Saturday marked the grand opening of The Smokin’ Pin BBQ at the newly remodeled Woodcrest Lanes in Union City, Ohio. Local business owners Willie and Tina Powell saw a chance to spark some magic into their hometown economy after learning the bowling alley was going out of business. They purchased the property a year ago and went to work on remodeling the entire building. A big part of that remodel plan featured the addition of The Smokin’ Pin BBQ. The restaurant seats nearly 65 people and has a menu that will entice the whole family... especially if you are a BBQ fan. Another great feature added is a Community Room that accommodates over 60 people. Growing up in the community with both graduating from Mississinawa Valley, Willie and Tina Powell wanted to offer a space with a unique hometown atmosphere. In addition to more than 10 televisions and comfortable lounge areas, the Community Room has been decorated with artwork, photos and history from both sides of Union City... Indiana and Ohio. The space will also be available to reserve for private parties. “We wanted to offer a place where students and people can come after a local high school football or basketball game and relax with friends,” Tina Powell told The Early Bird. “Willie and I lived here our

whole lives and wanted to give something back to the community that is for everyone.” The Powell’s are not strangers to running a hometown business. In addition to their newest venture, the couple own and operate Miami Valley Vending Service and Jim’s Drive In, both in Greenville. “We are from Union City and everyone knows how the economy has struggled,” Tina Powell added. “We jumped at the chance to do something to see it thrive again!” The Woodcrest Lanes and Smokin’ Pin BBQ will employ approximately 30 people - many of which will be local high school students, Powell noted. Though there is beer and some liquor available, the focus of the business is community and family, according to the Powells. It will be non-smoking and have something for everyone. The Smokin’ Pin BBQ will be open Monday-Thursday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; and Sunday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The drive-thru at Woodcrest Lanes will still be open with its famous pizza and more. An open house and ribbon cutting ceremony was held Friday before the doors ofﬁcially opened for business on Saturday at 11 a.m. Woodcrest Lanes & The Smokin’ Pin BBQ are located at 100 N. Grandview St., Union City, Ohio and can be reached at 968-3151. Visit them online at www.woodcrestlanes.com for complete hours of operation, bowling league information and much more.

GREENVILLE – “So how much do you make with this game?” Karl Dearwester said, “All I can!” Then he grinned. “If I told you how much I really made you might want one…” He was referring to a game that is 123 years old and which he has run for nearly half that time, Dearwester Canes. The same can be said for The Cancer Association of Darke County. Dearwester has been sponsoring a fundraiser for the organization for eight years… the last Saturday of the fair at 11 a.m. Participants toss the rings and Dearwester Canes donates $10 for each cane, $100 for each “crook” cane. This year 22 canes and two crook canes were hit. According to Dori Houdeshell, Association President, the event raised about $1,100 last year. Their hope for this year? “All we can!” The ‘keepers of the canes,’ Mark and Patty Cotter had made their annual pilgrimage from Michigan to work cleanup at the fairgrounds,

VERSAILLES – Kenneth Spitzer, of Versailles, is looking for some help in identifying a painting he picked up several years ago. According to Spitzer, he was at an auction in Greenville 10 or 15 years ago when he purchased a box of prints. Inside the box was a water

color painting. The painting of a young woman was originally displayed at the Great Darke County Fair in the 1950s. The tag, which is still on the painting, indicates the painting came from exhibitor 301. If anyone has information regarding the painting, Spitzer would love to hear from you. He can be reached at 526-4043.

and then to compete in their ring toss challenge. Mark, a cancer survivor, waved the white ﬂag when Patty had him down four to zero. The couple collected $35.35 while cleaning up around the fairgrounds, which they donated to the cause. They get to take the canes back to Michigan with them. Greg & Jennifer Peck, Gregory Peck Sound Systems, are annual sponsors of the event, this year kicking in $350 of

their own. Also donating were vendors Jumbo Iced Tea, Delight Catering, Sweet Corn, Nacho Pig and Craig’s Boots. “Every little bit helps,” Houdeshell had said earlier, noting the association needs help to provide services to more than 250 Darke County cancer patients. As the numbers started to add up, she started getting more excited. “So far… $1,312,” she said. She added more donations could still come in before

the day was over. Dearwester marks his 57th year running Dearwester Canes. He used to do 18 fairs around the state; now he’s dropped it to 10. “I can’t justify leaving my (regular) job for some of the fairs without as much trafﬁc,” he said. “This one? I go through 15,000 canes here every year.” Those are just the smaller, Carnival canes, he added. He’ll also go through 800 to 900 crook canes.

UNION CITY, IN – “We’re doing the right thing,” said Union City (Ind.) Mayor Bryan Conklin. He had recently attended a seminar at Ball State University in which research had indicated ‘the arts’ was a “win-win” economic strategy for a community. Conklin, community leaders and other volunteers started the Union City Arts Festival in 2014 as a way to rebuild the communities in both Indiana and Ohio. While he said he felt ‘vindicated’ that he was doing the right thing after attending the seminar, he could also see the results right in his home town. Following last year’s festival, a new batch of college art students – including one from Paris, France – had already set up residence and were working

on their projects, Ansonia businessman Toby Gates had established Oak Street Antiques, Greenville businessman Eric Malone had established Under the Rose Bud Antiques… and that was just for starters. Conklin said he was in negotiation with a number of businessmen to take over abandoned properties for their business pursuits. The Art Hub was a recent opening in May. It features 25 artists showing their work, most of them local. He attributes a lot of this success to the Arts Festival held last year. This year’s festival kicks off Sept. 11 and goes through Saturday. More than 50 shops, vendors, performers and local organizations will be involved, ranging from KitchenAid cutlery demonstrations to Union City Native and artist Rick Derringer’s Saturday evening performance at the newly ﬁnished Main Stage just across from the UC Arts

Depot. Derringer’s band, The McCoys, recorded the 1965 No. 1 hit, “Hang on Sloopy,” and his performing career has spanned over 50 years. Conklin anticipates Derringer will be performing to about 3,000 people in UC’s new community area. The stage, still under construction, is expected to be ﬁnished by the Festival weekend. “It will be set up for a variety of performances (such as small bands, singers, plays and more).” It is located near the corner of an area the size of a football ﬁeld. “Eight years ago there were two abandoned buildings here,” Conklin said. “We tore them down to create this. We’ll be putting in lighting, and natural and removable shade areas.” The city put in a grant and was awarded the money to put solar panels on top of the stage. “It will be able to power all the energy needs of the (stage and)

artisan apartments just south of the community area,” he added. One of the highlights of the weekend will be performances by Dick Wilcox on his 1926 Page Pipe Organ, built in Lima, Ohio. “There are only 500 of them left in the entire world,” he said. He added in the “chambers,” the room behind the organ, there were nearly 1000 pipes. “They only have one sound,” he said. They also only have one volume, so the chambers is separated from the organ by “shades.” Want it louder? Open the shades more. Want it softer? Close the shades more. The connections between the organ and the pipes are electronic, however the sound is all air… no electronics. Festivities begin at 10 a.m. Sept. 11; they wrap up with Derringer’s performance from 8 to 10 p.m. Saturday.

tired in 1992. He was also involved in local township activities and served on the Zoning Board of Appeals for Monroe Township from the board’s inception until his death and was one of the early “pioneers” of rural zoning. Most importantly, he was the long-time president of the Darke County Farmers Union having served from 1974 until 1996 for 22 years. He was a delegate to both the State and National Farmers Union Conventions and he helped to develop important Agricultural, Health and Tax Policy. He was a key player in the legislative enactment of the Self-employed Health Insurance Tax Deduction on the Federal and State levels. Glen’s work in various agricultural organizations,

local government and his community were always a testimony to his belief in the family farm as a way of life and as to its economic importance. He always tried to encourage young people either to enter or to continue in agriculture, and helped many with advice and support. One of his avocations was the making of miniature farm buildings and machinery. His “model family farm” was displayed not only in Darke County but around the state and at various farm-toy shows and at the Business and Industry Environmental Days at the Darke County Fairgrounds in 1994. It was noted then that a small family farm has several attributes that are good for the environment and sustainable-resilient agriculture.

For more information, email contact@arcanumhistoricalsociety.org or visit www. arcanumhistoricalsociety. org. You may also call the Reference Library Coordinator at 692-6462 for appointments. They encourage you to participate in the Southern Darke County selfguided driving tour of the Beech Grove and Ithaca area if you have not had the opportunity to do so. The

brochure detailing the tour and points of interest with directions can be downloaded from their website on the “events” page. Fall would be a beautiful time to see the rolling countryside of Ithaca while taking in the beautiful scenery and sights. Your club or organization could then tour the historical society and do the walking tour of Arcanum which features many historic buildings and business sites that have been designated and marked with plaques by the historical society. Included are Ivester House, now the Arcanum Public Library; Flat Iron Building now the Rose

Post; Smith’s Department Store now the Arcana and sewing and antique shop; The California House Hotel, now a private residence on North Main Street; The Founder of Arcanum’s log cabin site, now a private residence on North Street; last but not least the home of the Arcanum Wayne Trail Historical Society on West George Street which was built as the Louis Deitrich Saloon and Hotel. Come in and ﬁnd out more about the house history. Maps for the tour can also be picked up at the society house. They’ve received a number of excellent new collec-

tions this summer for research which include: Tom Hanes collection featuring the Shank, Corwin families and others; Rose Shilt’s collection of Preble County materials; and The Mary Pearce collection from Ithaca; the Susan Kendell Collection of various family names including Sharp and Delk. They have some unidentiﬁed photos perhaps you can help put names with the faces. Check out their updated website that features new photos and detailed information about their “new collections” as well as location, hours, and contacts.

AWTHS hosts Hauberg ARCANUM – Arcanum Wayne Trail Historical Society begins its fall programs with guest Allen Hauberg on Sept. 10, 7 p.m. Hauberg’s stories will take visitors through an important time in our area history from the signing of the Greenville Treaty to Ohio Statehood in a humorist way. His anecdotal stories will entertain and trivia will challenge. A Greenville resident and volunteer at Garst Museum, Hauberg’s interest in local history led him to writing several

handouts for Garst Museum on the Treaty, Lansdowne and Annie Oakley. The program is open to the public. Visit www.arcanumhistoricalsociety.org to learn what is available in the reference and research library, to read their quarterly newsletters and also learn about upcoming fall activities.
