Greenville skating rink to re-open with new owners, many updates CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville’s roller skating rink is set to re-open later this month, but under new ownership for the first time in nearly 50 years. Alan Leonard and his daughter Alishia Funk purchased the building from longtime owner Hazel Mercer, who felt it was just time to let go. Mercer, who is now 89, said it was just time to let go, but is confident it is in good hands and is glad it will remain a skating rink. “I just can’t go in and work like I used to,” Mercer said. “I really hated having to sell and will really miss all the kids.” After first opening in 1948 by Fred and Ruth Shook, Hazel and her late husband Harold Mercer took over the skating rink in 1968…and have owned it ever since. Hazel continued to run the business after Harold passed away in 1993.

Leonard began working at the Greenville roller rink in the early 1970’s and formed a strong bond with both Harold and Hazel as he later competed nationally as a speed skater under the guidance of the Mercers. “This place has a lot of rich tradition in the community and we plan to keep it that way,” Leonard told The Early Bird. Aside from Greenville, Leonard owns several other skating facilities in Beavercreek, Cincinnati and Kettering where his daughter currently works. Since taking over the business, Leonard, Funk and many generous volunteers have worked countless hours getting the place back into shape…and with a fresh new appeal. “We are sticking with what Harold named it long ago…’The Skate Place’,” Funk explained. “Yes we are transitioning it to a more modern entertainment center, but intend to keep much of what the Mercers already put into

place.” Along with a fresh new paint job and carpeting, The Skate Place will offer a ticket redemption arcade area, digital sound system, a cafe-style concession stand, new shoe lockers, hundreds of new and repaired rental skates, upgraded bathrooms, large ﬂat screen televisions and free Wi-Fi. Leonard says they will be re-paving the parking lot, along with new signage and extra lighting and making the building more handicap accessible. The entire property will be a smoke-free environment. As in the past, The Skate Place will continue to take reservations for private birthday parties and gatherings of other kinds. Additionally, they will offer schools a STEM lesson option that would allow for ﬁeld trips for local students. “It will no longer just be a place to come skate,” Funk noted. “Greenville doesn’t have anything like a Chuck E. Cheese’s and

Commission applies for grant to fund T-CAP SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – Darke County Commissioners on Wednesday approved applying for a grant from the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction in order to be able to fund T-CAP – Targeted Community Alternatives to Prison program. T-CAP allows Felony 5 offenders to either stay within county facilities instead of being placed in one of Ohio’s prisons and/ or receive rehabilitation services on a local level. It’s an attempt, organizers say, to relieve the state’s prison population, while placing the burden of jailing or rehabilitating Felony 5 offenders at the county level. Felony 5 offenders are identiﬁed as low-level nonviolent and non-sex offenders who do not require mandatory prison terms. In T-CAP counties, these offenders will no longer be eligible to serve sentences of 12 months or less in Department of Rehabilitation of Correction facilities. The $178,251 grant will be paid to Darke County in four installments – two in 2018 and two in 2019. According to Darke County Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan Hein, low-level offenders within the county have been treated locally for about six years. “We’ve been doing this philosophy since 2011,” Hein explained. “And we’ve been getting money

since 2011.” The T-CAP name and grant is new, Hein said, and will be in addition to grant funding already being received by Darke County. “We’re six years ahead of most places who keep sending people to prison and wonder why the (drug) problem still exists. Most of our neighbors aren’t proactive,” Hein said of surrounding counties not applying for grants or choosing to participate in locally-based rehabilitation programs. Hein said during the past year, ﬁve individuals were sent to Ohio’s prisons from Darke County. Beginning July 1, 2018, T-CAP participation will be mandatory for several counties, including Franklin, Cuyahoga, Hamilton, Summit, Montgomery, Lucas, Butler, Stark, Lorain, and Mahoning. Participation will be voluntary for the state’s remaining 78 counties. According to Hein, 54 counties (including the mandatory 10) are participating in T-CAP. Darke County Commissioners unanimously agreed to apply for the grant funding. “It (T-CAP) will happen. We either take the grant money or it comes out of the county general fund,” said Commissioner Matt Aultman. “We already have a stressed system in Darke County,” Aultman said, referring to the county’s often full jail. Local ofﬁcials are then forced to send prisoners to facilities

in Mercer County, Miami County or Randolph County, Ind. jails, which is paid for through the county’s general fund. Rehabilitation programs covered by the T-CAP grant include: * Supervision services * Local incarceration, ncluding communitybased correctional facility placements * Electronic monitoring * Substance use monitoring and treatment * Additional programming and resources Most of the caseload in Darke County, Hein said “are the non-violent drug dependent people. Prison makes them worse. Why waste prison money when they don’t come out any better?” This targeted group of offenders, Hein said “don’t respond to prison.” Hein also calls Ohio’s current prison costs of $26,000 per year per prisoner “wasted. It almost guarantees they re-offend, when you don’t work on the ‘why,’” he said. “Social science people understand if you don’t treat drug abuse, it won’t go away. They may sober up, but still be drug dependent. You don’t fix the problem” by throwing them in prison. “We have to treat the disease. You can’t just lock them up and say they’re fixed,” Hein believes. The T-CAP grant monies will be used for rehabilitation programs as well as jail staffing in Darke County, Hein said.

we want to offer more of a family entertainment center.” With approximately 15 employees, in addition to it’s administrative staff, Leonard assures The Skate Place will be a clean, fun, friendly and safe environment. The public will get it’s ﬁrst look at the updated building as The Skate Place holds their grand

opening on Sept. 23 from 7:30 p.m. to 12 a.m. The rink will then be open for business every weekend… with a “family night” on Fridays from 6:30-9 p.m., “family sessions” on Saturday and Sundays from 1-3:30 p.m. and continue with the tradition twosession Saturday night schedule from 7:30 to 10 p.m. and 10 p.m. to midnight.

The Skate Place will pay tribute to Hazel Mercer with a special event on Oct. 11 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. – with free admission for everyone. To learn more about The Skate Place visit the new website at www. greenvilleskateplace. com and like them on Facebook at www.facebook. com/greenvilleskateplace.

United Way sets $500,000 goal for campaign RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Seventy years of United Way in Darke County and the need is still great, said Christy Baker, executive director for the organization. During the annual Darke County United Way Campaign kick-off on Wednesday, Baker stressed, “A lot has changed in 70-years, but many things remain the same. There are still individuals in our community who have nowhere to sleep tonight. There are still individuals in our community whose cupboards are empty. There are still children struggling to read, write and do basic math. There are still individuals in our community ﬁghting addiction every day.” She continued, “We’ve come so far, but yet we have so far to go.” Through donations from individuals and corporations, thousands of individuals receive the help they need each month through United Way agencies. Twenty-thousand residents were served every quarter through the 26 agencies supported by United Way funds. “That equated to almost 60,000 unique interactions,” she said. The cost to those agencies was $865,650.70, which means the $495,000 raised during last year’s campaign just put a dent in the funds needed to fully assist Darke County residents. Baker and her board of

Jim Atchley shares information about this year’s Darke County United Way campaign.

directors are again hoping to raise $500,000 during this year’s campaign and they will be relying on businesses and individuals to make a difference. Jim Atchley, the 2018 campaign chairman, explained the agencies receiving funds go through an extensive allocation process to ensure persons in need beneﬁt from the funds. The funds, according to Atchley, are distributed in four areas – Education, Stability, Health and Community Fund. Some of the organizations receive United Way assistance include Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke County, Boys & Girls Club of Greenville, American Red Cross – Darke County Chapter, Grace Resurrection Community Center, Cancer Association of Darke County, Recovery and Wellness Centers of Midwest Ohio, Darke County 4-H Youth Development, Fish Choice Food Pantry, Hooked on

Fishing Not on Drugs and many more. Baker added that because local businesses have stepped up to help with administration costs, Darke County United Way is able to use more of the money raised during the campaign to support these agencies. During the annual kickoff luncheon, Baker recognized Whirlpool Corporation as the biggest contributor to the campaign last year. Between employee donations and the Whirlpool Foundation match, the company was able to give over $220,000 to 2017 campaign. Baker and Darke County United Way President Matt Jordan recognized two individuals who are retiring from the board of directors, Mitch Eiting and Dave Keiser. Baker closed by saying she believes a difference can be made. “I’ve seen this community come together and do some amazing things over the years,” she said. “At the United Way, we think every child should have a good education. Every citizen should feel ﬁnancially stable and our community be healthy and strong. Our goal is ambitious, but if you join us, we can do it together and we will not only hit, but surpass our goal.” For more information on how you can give or for information on the agencies served by the Darke County United Way, call (937) 547-1272 or email unitedway@darkecountyunitedway.org.

Fourth, Sweitzer project coming to a close BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

is winding down. The road has been closed for much of the summer as the city installed new water and sewer lines. On Tuesday, Greenville City Council learned that Brumbaugh Construction reported the trenches should be ready to be paved next week, which Garrison added, would allow the city to remove the road closed signs. In addition to water and sewer lines, the city will also install new street lights. The city will go with decorative black poles and cone shaped light ďŹ xtures from Sycamore Street to the curve on Sweitzer Street and the typical metal poles and light ďŹ xtures will be used from the curve to Pine Street. Although there was discussion at a previous council meeting about whether or not a grant given to the city by the state for lighting would cover the decorative ďŹ xtures, council learned it would. The city is required to pay the $19,600 engineering fee, which would

be the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s matching portion for the grant. Christa Hutchinson, executive director of Main Street Greenville, addressed council and presented two proposals to increase the safety of the

metal seat. Hutchinson pointed out the manufacturer has agreed to remove the seats and repaint the racks at no cost if the city chooses to go that route. If the city chooses to go with a new seat, the cost would be $27 for each rack. She said she has secured a donor to pay the cost if that is the direction the city wants to go. The city also gave a cost of $3,500 to reinstall the bike racks. Hutchinson has a donor lined up for the material to install the

bicycle racks that were removed in August. One proposal includes fabricating a new seat and replacing the current sheet metal seat on the bicycle racks and the other would discard the current sheet

concrete pad, but asked council to donate its cost for labor. NEW AT

Park programs enhance science curriculum BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Teachers who want to enhance their science curriculum are invited to schedule a Naturalist in the Classroom or Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Classroom Outdoor Adventure through Darke County Parks. The programs, says naturalist Mandy Martin â&#x20AC;&#x153;are based on the state science standards. Kids will be learning something they are required to learn. Our programs are a complement to what the teachers are already teaching.â&#x20AC;? Last year, Martin said, nearly all Darke County schools participated in either an in-class program or took ďŹ eld trips to Shawnee Prairie for grades K-6. Currently booked through mid-November, Martin said she is hoping more teachers will take advantage of one of the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two educational programs through the winter months. The Darke County Parks outdoor exploration and in-class program has grown since 2015, doubling the number of students last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to keep the momentum going and see even more kids coming to the park,â&#x20AC;? Martin said. Outdoor Adventures at the park include the fol-

lowing topics: (K) Adapted to Survive: Discover traits plants and animals possess that enable their survival in different habitats (1st grade) Resources; Naturally: DeďŹ ning natural resources and conservation practices (2nd grade) Water Cycle: How precipitation, evaporation and condensation perpetuate the water cycle (3rd grade) Life Cycles: Discovering plant and animal cycles and seasonal changes (4th grade) Positively Plants: Plant structure, functions and life cycles are explored (5th grade) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s All Connected: Tracing the ďŹ&#x201A;ow of energy through ecosystems (6th grade) Wading into Wetlands: The value, function and biotic diversity of wetland ecosystems In-class naturalists present the following topics: (K) The Power of Plants: Identifying the six plant parts and their needs for survival (1st grade) Getting Ready for Winter: Winter survival strategies for Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wildlife (2nd grade) Honeybees and Humans: The effects humans have on honeybee populations and the process of pollination

All materials and instructions are provided by park naturalists. This program is offered in September and October. Classroom programs are 45 minutes to 1 hour, with ďŹ eld programs at the park lasting 2-3 hours. Students attending ďŹ eld programs at the park are able to eat lunch on-site. Following each presentation, teachers are asked to ďŹ ll out an evaluation form. According to Martin, teachers who have scheduled programs for their students have been pleased with the learning experiences provided by park naturalists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love how the students interact throughout the lesson,â&#x20AC;? one teacher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are engaged when they are participating in the activities.â&#x20AC;? Teachers also were pleased with the variety of hands-on activities, knowledgeable park staff and the opportunity to build upon

teaching the state standards. The evaluation process also includes a forum for educators to suggest possible future program topics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how we developed the water cycle program,â&#x20AC;? Martin explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A teacher made the suggestion.â&#x20AC;? Martin hopes to be able to present more programs soon at the newly renovated Bish Park on Ohio Street, especially those centered on water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to use Greenville Creek,â&#x20AC;? she said, as well as the renovated former Spencer Landscap-

ing facility. Schools who want to schedule a ďŹ eld trip for an outdoor adventure are invited to apply for a travel grant from the Friends of the Park, Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The grant pays for expenses for students to be bused to the park,â&#x20AC;? Martin explained. The application may be found on the Darke County Parks website, www.darkecountyparks.org. Teachers who would like to schedule a program may call the park district at 548-0165 or email Martin at mmartin@darkecountyparks.org. All Darke County schools may par-

Greenville man designs Rings for Recovery BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE - When Donnie MansďŹ eld lost his grandmother this past spring, he searched to ďŹ nd a unique way to honor her memory. After deciding to take up woodworking as a hobby, MansďŹ eld created a wooden ring for himself to wear as a reminder of his grandmother. The ring includes his grandmotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initials and date of death. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ring is one way I can think of my grandmother daily,â&#x20AC;? MansďŹ eld said. As a licensed social worker and licensed chemical dependency counselor, MansďŹ eld, who resides in Greenville with his wife and two children, spends quite a bit of time working with others who are suffering from the loss of a loved one. After realizing how wearing his ring was helping in his personal grieving process, MansďŹ eld decided to pursue designing rings for others going through similar situations.

Donnie MansďŹ eld designed and wears the wooden ring shown above in honor of his late grandmother.

He created what he refers to as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;programâ&#x20AC;? Rings for Recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ďŹ rst rings I made werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that good,â&#x20AC;? he said. But since coming up with the idea to share rings with others, MansďŹ eld purchased the needed equipment for what he calls his â&#x20AC;&#x153;garage hobby.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;At ďŹ rst, I was going to just make rings to deliver to people in Darke County,â&#x20AC;? he said. But after having people ask him about his personal ring, MansďŹ eld has opened his delivery area to the greater Miami Valley and has advertised Rings for Recovery on several online platforms, including creating his own website, www.ringsforre-

covery.com. MansďŹ eld believes one way of dealing with personal grief and the death of a loved one is to openly talk to others about the loss. Wearing a wooden ring, he said, is not only a reminder to the wearer of the loved one, but also leads to questions from others and in turn allows the wearer to share their feelings and â&#x20AC;&#x153;release bottled up emotions.â&#x20AC;? Although MansďŹ eld isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t out to turn his hobby into a moneymaker, those who wish to may donate to the cause for postage, materials and other delivery costs. Donations may be made at www.ringsforrecovery.com Also on the website are photos of rings that are available as well as an order form. MansďŹ eldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hours to receive phone calls are 6-8 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 1-4 p.m. Saturday. MansďŹ eld also accepts texts. His number is 937-621-2747. MansďŹ eld also has posted a video on his website of how the rings are created.

Darke Co. Chamber opposes Ballot Issue 2 GREENVILLEâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;The Board of Directors of the Darke County Chamber of Commerce has voted to oppose Issue 2, the drug purchase ballot initiative appearing on the November statewide ballot in Ohio. This initiative, the so called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drug Price Relief Act,â&#x20AC;? would impose unworkable contracting requirements on the state of Ohio whenever it purchases any prescription drugs. The Darke County Chamber is opposing the initiative for several reasons. First and foremost, the deceptive and vague proposal would impose artiďŹ cial price controls on a variety of prescription medications. Chamber Chairman Tony Roberts stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Darke County Chamber works hard to create a business climate that allows our members to create jobs and operate at a proďŹ t. The priceďŹ xing scheme proposed in this ballot initiative could be applied to any other industry in Ohio in the future â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a price we cannot afford to pay to do business here.â&#x20AC;? If passed, Issue 2 could lead to cost-shifting to private payers, including local employers, resulting in higher health care pre-

miums and out-of-pocket costs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This proposal is vague and does not provide any guidance on how it expects it to be implemented. Numerous experts have studied the proposal and concluded that not only is it unlikely to reduce drug costs, it very well could reduce patient access to medications,â&#x20AC;? said Chamber President Sharon Deschambeau. Even more troublesome, the intentional lack of detail and guidance on how to implement this proposal could lead to years of bureaucratic ďŹ ghts and costly legal battles. In expressing its opposition, the Darke County Chamber adds its voice to the more than 60 organizations opposing Issue 2, including the Ohio Chamber of Commerce and business groups, organized labor, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, veterans, and others who have come to the same conclusion: the Ohio Drug Price Relief Act wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do what it promises and could even make things worse. We urge the citizens of Darke County to reject this dangerous proposal. The Darke County Chamber of Commerce is a membership organization serving Darke County area businesses since 1927.

Schools can apply for transportation grants COLUMBUSâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;State Representative Stephen Huffman (R-Tipp City) recently announced the Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board and the Capitol Square Foundation will open their online application process for school transportation grants on Sept. 12, at 9 a.m. The grants are available to help Ohio schools, which receive state funding, defray the cost of ďŹ eld trips to the Ohio Statehouse and are based on one-way mileage from the visiting school to Columbus. There are 25 grants available in each of the following mileage categories, for a total of 75 grants: * 1 to 50 miles: $200 * 51 to 100 miles: $300 * 101+ miles: $400

Limited to fourth through 12th grade trips during the 2017-2018 school year, the grants are awarded on a ďŹ rst-come, ďŹ rst-served basis and have been known to be awarded within a matter of minutes of the grant application process opening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Visiting the statehouse is a great opportunity to immerse students in the history of our great state and gain an understanding of our political process,â&#x20AC;? said Rep. Huffman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I encourage all local schools to apply for this grant.â&#x20AC;?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be really careful with this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column. Believe it or not, my wife has a line and if I cross it there are consequences. I know where that line is and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve approached it several times and have hesitantly crossed it once or twice. I quickly learned that I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as smart as I thought I was. School is back in session and for the ďŹ rst time in 15 years we are down to one child living under our roof. We recently deposited our oldest child into the care of the staff, faculty and coaches at TifďŹ n University. I knew it would be difďŹ cult, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know it would be this difďŹ cult. No, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t difďŹ cult for me. I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have used the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;depositedâ&#x20AC;? to describe the act of leaving my child two hours away from home if it was difďŹ cult for me. If I thought it was difďŹ cult leaving her, I would have said something like â&#x20AC;&#x201C; We abandoned our oldest child and left her alone and lonely with only a minis-

cule amount of hope the staff, faculty and coaches at TifďŹ n University would be able to keep my most precious baby girl safe. Maybe I could have been more dramatic and shouted, My Baby! My Baby! Oh lord, my baby is leaving me (which would have been followed by me throwing myself to the ground and groaning inaudible groans). Although my wife and I understand this is a great opportunity for our daughter, it has been extremely difďŹ cult for my wife to let her go. (See, I told you I had to be careful.) I get it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harder for moms to have their daughters spread their wings and be independent. It has forced me to be the voice of reason and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a role I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t relish. It takes too much brain power. The voice of reason must know when to show empathy and when to be ďŹ rm and approach one of the lines I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to cross. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a role Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not very comfortable with. I prefer being the irresponsible buffoon of a dad and husband. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the one who is supposed to do stupid things and buy things I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the one who is supposed to sit in my easy chair and watch football. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the one thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to go live on Facebook as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re

leaving our daughter behind so I can record my wife balling her eyes out (which is something only a buffoon would have done). Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not supposed to be the voice of reason or the voice of anything that resembles reason. I nearly told our daughter to turn off the tracker on her phone so my wife canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see what sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing, but decided not to because that would have be one of the lines I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to cross. I even thought to myself I could qualify the statement with - but if you do turn it off I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t guarantee we will transfer money into your checking account. I do miss my daughter, but it is time for her to grow up. I keep reminding my wife we raised her the best we knew how. We taught her lessons

that will serve her well for a lifetime. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to hound her; sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a smart girl and will be alright. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for my daughter to start making friends and to get acquainted with her teammates. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be ďŹ ne. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have her days of being homesick, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a strong and talented girl and will do great. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of her and I have no doubt sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be an excellent student and athlete. My wife will eventually loosen the apron strings and will get used to our daughter having freedom. She wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get used to it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping she comes to her senses soon. Being the voice of reason is tiring. All I really want to do is be a buffoon.

Treaty City Invitational draws large numbers GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Greenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Treaty City Invitational Cross Country meet Saturday morning saw a 20 percent increase of registered runners from 2016 as the local invitational returns to its prominence of the past. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today was a great day for our community and school, but most importantly a great day for the athletes,â&#x20AC;? said Greenville head varsity cross country coach and event manager, Stephanie Reigle Lind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had 1437 registered runners today, 126 teams from 41 different schools,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have increased our percentage of participation by 20 percent from last year, so we are moving back in a direction where we are having more and more kids and schools race here,â&#x20AC;? said Greenville High School Principal Stan Hughes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have great participation from all

over and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s becoming one of the premier events in our area for cross country.â&#x20AC;? Bradfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior Karmen Knepp won the small school girls race in a time of 19:20 defeating Marion Localâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kelsy Broering by 12 seconds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m watching the Bradford team,â&#x20AC;? said Bradford assistant varsity football coach John Cruse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it is amazing to see this many schools here. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just amazing how this thing is run without a glitch.â&#x20AC;? Cruse was also supporting his two granddaughters competing in the Invitational, eighth grader Austy Miller ďŹ nishing third in the junior high girls category and freshman Skip Miller taking ďŹ fth place for the Lady Railroaders in the girls high school division. Versaillesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; senior Joe Spitzer won the large school boys race with a time of 15:46, besting Northmontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gage Beireis by 20 seconds.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the best thing going,â&#x20AC;? said volunteer worker,

Darke County Common Pleas Judge, the Honorable Judge Jon Hein. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enjoy this event, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like running you may as well just stay home. People out here are smiling, they are all pumped up, there is a lot of energy in the air, kids are running well, perfect weather, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cool, not a lot of wind so we are having fun.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ninety-ďŹ ve percent of the people in the world are making it a better place,â&#x20AC;? Hein noted of the athletes running in the invitational, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and the other ďŹ ve percent are still learning.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a meet manager for an invitational of this size, you put in enormous amount of time preparing and planning and collaborating and just hope it all comes together,â&#x20AC;? Lind stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city is great to work with and do so much for this event.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes a collaborating with the city safety service director, the EMS, the ďŹ re department, the street department, local law enforce-

ment, the city and county park directors, timing companies, Wayne HealthCare for the athletic trainers and school staff,â&#x20AC;? continued Lind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The success we have pulling off such a great event wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be possible at the wire without the help of so many.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many of the parents were here Thursday evening and all day Friday mowing, trimming, driving posts, hanging safety fence and preparing the course,â&#x20AC;? added Lind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parents and community members volunteer all day Saturday in the concessions, shirt sales, course management, driving gators, hosting the coaches, helping the runners at the ďŹ nishâ&#x20AC;Śitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing how we all come together. I sincerely thank everyone who took part and pitched in.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is one of our favorite courses of the year,â&#x20AC;? said Ansonia Head Varsity and Junior High boys and girls cross country coach Jason Wright. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being that it is in our back yard is a plus. It allows a lot of the kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; friends

and family to show up and be able to come to races normally they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drive so far to come and see. The kids enjoy it because a lot of family and friends support that shows up for the race.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;In terms of a meet this size, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anything else close to this in Darke County,â&#x20AC;? added Wright, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good opportunity not just for Greenville but Ansonia and a lot of the county

schools to come together and participate.â&#x20AC;? This invitational is a wonderful thing,â&#x20AC;? concluded event volunteer John Unger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These kids put in a lot of hard work doing this so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to come out and help them anyway we can.â&#x20AC;?

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER Set two had the home team open with a 1-0 lead SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com but it was the Lady Buccs

NEW MADISON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Tri-Village Lady Patriots fell to the visiting Covington Lady Buccs 3-1 in a Tuesday night Cross County Conference match. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been doing a good job of playing hard all the way through all year,â&#x20AC;? said Tri-Village coach Chris Brewer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This game, I felt like we stepped back just a little bit.â&#x20AC;? The Lady Patriots opened with 25-18 ďŹ rst set win after a slow start trailing 3-0 before bouncing back to knot the score at 3-3, 4-4 and 5-5 and taking a 9-5 lead and never look back. The Tri-Village girls pushed their lead to 19-10 before closing out the set with the 25-18 victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to build their conďŹ dence up, conďŹ dence in themselves so they play hard all the way through because we are a good team,â&#x20AC;? Brewer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came out and played like it the ďŹ rst game. We got a lead on them, stayed on and pushed, and we have the ability to do that every game.

Game three had the game tied at 2-2 with the Lady Buccs going on to make it a 10 point set at 17-7 and take set three by a 25-13 score to lead 2-1 on the night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt like if we had come out in that second game like we did the ďŹ rst, got a little bit of a lead on that team we might have been able to get them to kind of roll-over like we did,â&#x20AC;? said Brewer, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to.â&#x20AC;? Covington opened set four with a 7-1 advantage bringing a timeout from the Tri-Village bench. Trailing 11-3, the Lady Patriots reeled of eight straight points to tie the set at 11-11 only to have the Buccaneers move out to a 22-14 advantage and take the ďŹ nal set of the night by a 25-18 score and win the match by a 3-1 count. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Give them credit,â&#x20AC;? stated

Brewer, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They pushed us all the way. They served tough to us. There were a couple of opportunities where we needed to be a little more aggressive at the net, get a couple blocks and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t unfortunately, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it turned out.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some things to work on in practice tomorrow, work on being a little aggressive at the net,â&#x20AC;? continued Brewer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to

The goal of YOLO is to bring together high energy individuals with a goal of living life to the fullest and giving back. The YOLO Community Fund was established with the goal of maintaining a fund that will be able to perpetually give back to the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beautiful day out here today,â&#x20AC;? said Phillip Pierri. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of participants and very, very blessed for today. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Lady Wave volleyball team lost a 3-2 heartbreaker to the visiting Stebbins Lady Indians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a hard one because we are so close,â&#x20AC;? said Greenville Coach Chelsea Dowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls really work hard to do it. This one stings a little bit, but we will get there. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ďŹ nd a way to make it happen.â&#x20AC;? The Greenville girls had to battle through the injury bug along with battling the taller Lady Indians, coming up just short in the Thursday night home match. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shelby Herrmann (Captain) is out with a concussion and Baylee Petry rolled an ankle against Sidney on Tuesday, so the lineup is a little bit different but that is a big kudos to the girls because they have really done a nice job of working around that, working as a team and pushing through the ups and downs of things.â&#x20AC;?

Trojans top Tigers in middle school gridiron action BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

ANSONIA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Arcanum Trojans beat the Tigers 20-6 in a middle school showdown on the gridiron Tuesday afternoon in Ansonia. The Tiger defense had their hands full as the Trojan ground game and defense dominated early to hold a 14-0 advantage at halftime. Ansonia ďŹ nally got in the endzone in the second half, but were unable to mount a comeback. Both team are back in action Sept. 12 as the 0-2 Tigers hunt for their ďŹ rst win of the season at Bethel, while the 1-1 Tro-

Stebbins battled back taking set three by a 25-18 score to lead 2-1. The young Lady Wave team picked back up in set four where they left off in set two moving out to a 19-9 double digit lead and go on to a 25-18 fourth set win to even the match at 2-2 and send to night to a ďŹ fth and ďŹ nal set. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are really young,â&#x20AC;? Dowd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think a part of that is being young and not having gotten their really ďŹ rst good win yet. I think once that happens weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ďŹ nd a way to stay up the whole game, the whole match The Lady Wave varsity team is made up of six sophomores and six juniors with no seniors on the team.

The ďŹ fth and deciding set had six ties, before the visitors went on to win by a 15-12 score and take the match by a 3-2 count.

She did a great job.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brooke Stachler and Morgan Gilbert stayed in

the whole entire match and that says a lot because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy playing ďŹ ve sets the whole way through and doing a really, really good job,â&#x20AC;? added Dowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those three girls really stepped it up.

Stegall’s anniversary

Southern-Aires

Southern-Aires to sing in Greenville GREENVILLE – For over 50 years the Southern-Aires have been spreading the gospel message through song. They started singing when Southern Gospel Music began its upward trend in popularity and they have continued to share their own style and blend as they travel in the Miami Valley, the United States and into other countries throughout the world. Dall Miller, a 60 year veteran of Gospel Music is baritone and manager of the group. Darrell Webb sings bass and his wife Wanda Webb sings alto. Sam Gabbard ﬁlls out the

group with the Lead vocals. The group has produced more than 40 albums and CD’s throughout the years. Although they are happy to share these recordings with the public, they are even more excited to see God working in the hearts and lives of their audience. Pastor Sam Shilot and the congregation of Triumphant Christian Center are pleased to bring The Southern-Aires to Greenville, Sunday, Sept. 17. The church is located at 1129 South Towne Court, Greenville and the free concert begins at 6 p.m.

To complete this special celebration day, there will be a dinner following worship to honor the retirement of Pastor Bob Akins. While Pastor Bob

Brighten Your Grandchildren’s Financial Future

Mother’s Day and Father’s Day may get more attention, but National Grandparents Day, observed on Sept. 10, has gained in popularity. If you’re a grandparent, you might expect to receive some nice cards, but if you want to make the day especially meaningful, you may want to consider giving some long-lasting financial gifts to your grandchildren. What might come to mind first, of course, is helping your grandchildren pay for college. You can choose from several college savings vehicles, but you may be especially interested in a 529 savings plan. With a 529 plan, your earnings accumulate tax free, provided they are used for qualified higher education expenses, such as tuition, books, and room and board. (Keep in mind that 529 plan distributions not used for qualified expenses may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% IRS penalty on the earnings.) You may be eligible for a state income tax incentive for contributing to a 529 plan. Check with your tax advisor regarding these incentives, as well as all tax-related issues pertaining to 529 plans. One benefit of using a 529 plan is contribution limits are quite generous. Plus, a 529 plan is flexible: If your grandchild decides against college, you can transfer the plan to another beneficiary. Generally, a 529 plan owned by a grandparent won’t be reported as an asset on the Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), but withdrawals from the plan are treated as untaxed income to the beneficiary (i.e., your grandchild) — and that has a big impact on financial aid, a much bigger impact than if the plan was listed as a parental asset. Beginning with the 2017-2018 academic year, however,

FAFSA now requires families to report income from two years before the school year starts, rather than income from the prior calendar year. Consequently, it might be beneficial, from a financial aid standpoint, for you, as a grandparent, to start paying for college expenses from a 529 plan in the year in which your grandchild becomes a junior. Contact a financial aid professional about the potential financial aid impact of any gifts you’re considering. A 529 plan isn’t the only financial gift you could give to your grandchildren. You might also consider giving them shares of stock, possibly held in a custodial account, usually known as an UTMA or UGMA account. One possible drawback: You only control a custodial account until your grandchildren reach the age of majority, at which time they can use the money for whatever they want, whereas distributions from a 529 savings plan must be used for qualified higher education expenses. Still, your grandchildren might be particularly interested in owning the stocks contained in the custodial account –most young people enjoy owning shares of companies that make familiar products. And to further interest your grandchildren in a lifetime of investing, you may want to show them how a particular stock you’ve owned for decades has grown over time. Naturally, you’ll also want to let them know that stocks can move up and down in the short term, and there are no guarantees of profits – but the longterm growth potential of stocks is still a compelling story. You’d probably do whatever you could for your grandchildren – and with a smart financial gift, you can make a big difference in their lives.

LINDA MOODY CORRESPONDENT llmoody@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY, Ohio – It’s been Jim Hanes’ longtime dream to have a commercial farm building with a house built into it. It finally became a reality when he and wife Amy moved in after years of planning in April 2012. Many people call it a shouse (short for shop/ house), but they prefer to call theirs a barndominium. The barn, they said, was built in August 2011; however, they didn’t move in until the following April 21, on her birthday. Amy said she first designed the plans for a barn on a napkin in June 2011; later transferring them on paper and turning her sketches over to neighbor Todd Carroll, who did the work on the interior of the building. “I drew what I wanted and he modified it,” she said. “We built it knowing we were going to be here forever.” “We did everything as maintenance-free as we could,” Jim added. “The landscaping is minimal and it’s handicap accessible,” Amy said. “We have six rooms, three bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a storage room that can be made into a bedroom and bath.” The Haneses had lived on the family farm close by prior to their move to Stoner Road. Oldest son Josh’s family now lives there and is the fifth generation of the family to do so. “Josh needed a place to stay in between houses for his family, which includes wife Nicia and four children, and we were interested in getting them in there,” Amy said. It was then the couple began living in a 34-foot camper with two slide-outs at the end of August 2011. “It sat outside for three weeks and then it got very cold,” Amy said. “I went to

bed with a hood and sweatshirt.” The construction crew, they explained, was working inside the barn so they could have more room in which to work. “We worked with them and they with us, and we had the camper inside in two months,” he said. Amy said living in the camper all that time was “not all that hateful.” “We started right after fair week and everything was packed up in tons and tons of totes,” she said “I was quite surprised what we could do without.” Morton Buildings put up the whole building as a shop, while Carroll did the interior work with Scott Butt serving as electrician. Nephew Aaron Cutarelli did some of the cement. The entire house features decorative cement ﬂooring, and kitchen cabinets were created by Aaron Overholser. “Everybody was good to work with,” Jim said. “The

living quarters is an inch higher than the main ﬂoor of the shop, so if there are any leaks, they can’t run into the house.” Additional features of the house include a spiral staircase, Jim’s ofﬁce, an OSU bathroom as well as an island in the kitchen that Amy has always wanted. “The open concept to me, if there are more than the two of us, it gets loud,” he said. “I tell people about the shop. It isn’t for everybody. If I were 40 years younger, it would probably be different but where I’m at in my life I want these kind of things.” “It is very comfortable living for the two of us and for family reunions,” she said, while looking out of the window to their 12-foot wrap-around porch. “If the corn wasn’t there, we can see forever. It’s very peaceful.” Read more about the Hanes’ Barndominium at www.bluebagmedia.com.

Kennedys, Trask purchase downtown Greenville coffee shop BY LINDA MOODY CORRESPONDENT lmoody@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – John and Louisa Kennedy, owners of the Kennedy Vineyard and Big Rack Brewery in southern Darke County, and their partner in business, Michael Trask, who has spent 40-years in the food/beverage industry all over the world, are the new owners of Brenda’s Beanery on South Broadway. It all happened in a three-day transition. “This whole thing took place three days from beginning to end to get the business up,” said Brenda (Greer) Stump, who owned the coffee shop for the past 6 1/2 years until she sold it on Aug. 31. And, better yet, she will remain an employee as will two of the other workers there, Kathy Weidner and Cheryl Ganger. “I am thankful I get to work here and that the girls here are still keeping their jobs.” She went on, “This was a godsend. I felt such a

relief when I decided to sell and everything has fallen into place. It’s been a smooth transition. We haven’t closed our doors. They (the new owners) are really nice people.” Stump has worked in the coffee business for 25 years as a manager of the Coffee Beanery at the Salem Mall, then for three different locations for Boston Stoker, at Broadway Joe’s in Greenville for 5 1/2 years and at LaMasonette, which became known

as Brenda’s Beanery, in October 2011. Almost all of the items in the coffee shop are made from scratch. “We will still have great food and service that we’ve always had here,” said Stump, formerly of the Bradford area. She said she sold the satellite coffee service she introduced to Wayne HealthCare to two women who were running it for her at the hospital. “The new owners have

lots of new ideas and I hope they do really well,” Stump said “We are all good friends and all spent time in the corporate business world and are very much supportive of small business,” Louisa said. “We try to take our trade to small businesses in the area. Brenda announced on Tuesday she was closing her doors, and I happened to hear that, and told John and he called Mike. We thought, ‘Let’s keep this business alive.’” “This opportunity came about and I thought it was tremendous,” added Trask. “We are very big on supporting small businesses.” “Without hesitation, I knew it was too good to have this be shutting down,” Louisa went on. “We believe this is the best shop around... Here, we have one of the top roasters. It is the only coffee shop that sells beans from top roasters. We try to use local ingredients, giving the coffee shop that hometown feeling. We combine good coffee, good food and good service. That’s the reason to keep this place moving.” “Our intention is to insure a smooth transition,” Trask said. “We don’t want to lose six years of what Brenda established. She has a loyal clientele. We’re excited and very happy

that the same faces will still come here. That’s important for us to maintain the status quo.” “It’s business as usual,” Louisa said. “We plan to grow the business...bringing a Wi-Fi area in and updating various parts of the

shop. And, we will bring a chocolatier in again. We have a local chocolatier and will build up the chocolate again. We want to build more collaboration with other businesses in the community. We want to help Main Street thrive.”

Lulu is giving hope through family’s grief LINDA MOODY

CORRESPONDENT

GREENVILLE – Jason and Cami (Woodall) Snyder have been busy getting The House That Lulu Built up and running. It is a nonprofit grief care home. If all goes well, they envision it will be ready in a few months. The couple feels they can help others in this venture as they, too, have lost a loved one. “On Sept. 23, 2010, we welcomed our fifth baby, Lulu Grace, to our family,” Cami said. “She was born with an extra Trisomy #18...one miniscule extra chromosome that would change her life and ours forever. We were truly happy to have her with us for 62-days. She was our miracle. She died on Nov. 24, 2010.” In order to fulfill their dream, the couple purchased property north of them on North Broadway in Greenville for the purpose of helping others deal

with grief. They are renovating an old farm house. “We hope to achieve our goals alongside others who share our vision,” Cami said. “The House That Lulu Built will truly be a community home of love and care for the grieving. With our own grief, we wanted to connect with other people. This has been very heavy on my heart. Friends of ours lost a son a few years ago and it pushed us even more.” The Snyders are still learning about their grief, even though it’s been seven years.” “Lulu’s death is not something to get over, but instead a new part of our lives to embrace and walk out,” Cami said. “Loss is painful. Although others around us may face grief of their own, ours always feels so unique and lonely. But, we truly beneﬁt from others who understand our grief and struggles and can walk this journey with us.” At The House That Lulu Built, the Snyders will host

NJROTC presents Colors at Reds game CINCINNATI – The Greenville High School NJROTC Color Guard presented the Colors during the playing of the National Anthem Wednesday prior to the start of Cincinnati Reds and Milwaukee Brewers game at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati. The Cadets were given tickets to stay and watch the Reds win by a score of 7-1 and were excused from

school for the day to be a part of this great honor. Making the trip were Cadet Chief Petty Officer Jacob Broderick, Cadet Ensign Kelly Louk, Cadet Petty Officer Third Class Victoria Gibboney, Cadet Petty Officer Third Class Logan Baker, Cadet Petty Officer Third Class Adam Godwin and Cadet Petty Officer Second Class Cylie Etter.

grief classes as well as provide a “home” where families who come into town for funeral services may stay together. “We will invite the community to share stories of the loved ones they lost too early,” she said. “It will be a place where people can see they’re not alone. They don’t have to talk or share but be a support to each other. We will celebrate those lives and our ongoing love for them. We will have special events for children who have lost loved ones. We can bring food into the grievers and they can have meals after funeral services. We want to be a resource for someone who needs counseling. We don’t have all the answers.”

In the meantime, they are planning an Oct. 26 event, known as “Grief and Gratitude through the Holidays,” which will be held at Canyon Run Ranch, Pleasant Hill. Cost for tickets is $7, a price that was set because of the years since their daughter passed away. Those tickets are now available. For more information, contact lulusgrace@gmail.com or message them on Facebook at The House that Lulu Built. “Holidays are especially difﬁcult for grieving persons,” Cami said. Daughter Lulu was hospitalized at Dayton Children’s for 14 days and then came home with her family. “We enjoyed every mo-

ment,” said Cami. “Our time slowed down for sure. Sometimes you need to slow down. A lot of gratefulness came from this. I’ll always be her mom and that can’t be taken away.” The Snyders recently celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary. Both are graduates of Greenville High School, and they are

also the parents of Dylan, a junior; Owen, an eighthgrader; Simon, a sixthgrade student; and Annabelle, a fourth-grader. Their spare time is spent cleaning up the property they purchased. “There is a lot of work to do,” Jason said. “We are doing it on our own time and money.”

GHS Varsity G collect T-shirts for Harvey victims GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Greenville High School Varsity G Club is collecting ‘gently used or new’ t-shirts until September 13th as a way of the Greenville community helping Houston and surrounding area victims of Hurricane Harvey. “The Houston Athletic Department put out a feed that if you wanted to help their community that each athletic program could donate shirts to their program,” said GHS Varsity G Advisor Laura Swigart. “I was approached by a Greenville athlete and coach who had seen the news feed.” “They approached me, and I said the best way to get the community and athletics involved would be to run it through Varsity G,” Swigart said, “so that is where we went with it.” “The Athletic Department suggested this to be a way of helping their community,” added Swigart. “We will be collecting tshirts until September 13th. You can drop your

items off at the high school in the Athletic Ofﬁce or in room C225. There will also be boxes placed at the K-8 building. We appreciate your help in advance as our community tries to help Houston.” “I think it is awesome that we get an opportunity to help donate what we can,” said GHS sophomore Varsity G member Morgan Gilbert. “It may not seem like a lot to us but I know

it will help a lot of people down in Houston.” “I am really happy to be a part of this,” said Varsity G member Saki Nakamura. “I am very pleased we can help people in need.” “It’s the right thing to do,” stated Kyle Mills, also a Varsity G member. “We are just trying to help out, keep them warm at night. It’s really nice the country can come together like this.”

“Coaches have donated from their programs and there are a lot of teachers who have brought things in,” Swigart said. “The staff and coaching staffs have done a very good job of giving.” “The ﬁrst semi load that the community of Greenville is sending is to go out on September 14th,” conclude Swigart, “so we’re looking to get something on that semi.”

May family free donuts and coffee tradition continues GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Terry and Jane Ann May were front and center at their home on Memorial Drive Saturday morning serving Eikenberry’s donuts, coffee, water and Gatorade FREE to Treaty City Invitational participants and family members just for stopping by. “We have been doing it eight years,” said Terry. “We had all three of our kids run cross country and it was something that connected us to the sport as they continued on. Now we have grandkids running cross country.” The May’s children; PJ and Lisa ran all four years at GHS while Trent spent two years on the cross country team. “I just think this is amazing,” said Dr. Steve Gruber. “This is what Greenville is all about. The opportunity to support the

community in whatever it is that is going on. Today it happens to be a cross country invitational.” “We had kids from Fort Recovery show up this morning and say, ‘I remember you from last year – do you have Gatorade again,’ and yes, so they come back all three or four years that they are here at the invitational,” noted Terry. “This is something that athletes and parents have gotten used to and they look forward to it every year, to stop by here and get free donuts and coffee and other kinds of drinks from Jane Ann and Terry May,” Gruber said. “They have been doing this for a long time.” The May’s have 11 grandchildren, four granddaughters and seven grandsons that now are beginning to follow the family tradition of cross country.

Many demonstrations planned at Prairie Days GREENVILLE – Once again, 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. This style oven is operated by building a ﬁre inside in order to preheat the earthen structure, afterwards the coals are removed and the baking surface prepped with cornmeal to prevent sticking. The bread dough, cookies, or any other baked goods can then be baked before the oven cools down again. Full loaves of white bread, wheat bread, white herb bread or ginger molasses 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. After capturing the sweet liquid

Shown are some of the Unforgettable Bears created by Karron Hoskins.

Unforgettable Bear keeps memory alive AUGLAIZE COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Karron Hoskins, formerly of Darke County and now living in Auglaize County, has found a way to bring comfort to those who have lost a loved one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After a dear friend lost her husband to cancer in 2008, I made her a memory bear from his robe. That launched what was to become a new career for me, Unforgettable Bear LLC.â&#x20AC;? She continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have made hundreds of memory bears from loved ones clothing since that time and I would be honored to sew one for you.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Death is inevitable,â&#x20AC;? said this grandmother of seven, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but when a loved one dies it can be hard to move forward. My dream

for this company is that I can take a small piece of a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifeâ&#x20AC;ŚPapawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite shirt, Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite pajamas/robe, or their sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite article of clothing, and transform that possession into a huggable bear that carries the spirit of the owner and provides comfort to those that are left behind.â&#x20AC;? If you would like to contact Karron about ordering an Unforgettable Bear, you can reach her at (937) 4596224, email hossandme@ gmail.com or get more information on the web at www.unforgettablebear.vpweb.com. She is now taking Christmas orders.

Library ďŹ lm features The Third Man GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The 1949 British ďŹ lm noir The Third Man will be the featured ďŹ lm at the Greenville Public Library on Sept. 21. The ďŹ lm was directed by Carol Reed and written by Graham Greene. It stars Joseph Cotten, Valli (Alida Valli), Orson Welles, and Trevor Howard. The ďŹ lm takes place in post-World-War-II Vienna and centers on Holly Martins, an American who is given a job in Vienna by his friend Harry Lime. When Holly arrives in Vienna he gets the news that Lime is dead. Martins then meets with Limeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acquaintances in an attempt to investigate what he considers a suspicious death. The atmospheric use of black-and-white expressionist cinematography by Robert Krasker, with harsh lighting and distorted â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dutch angleâ&#x20AC;? camera technique, is a major feature of the ďŹ lm. Combined with the iconic theme music, seedy locations and acclaimed performances from the cast, the style evokes the atmosphere of an exhausted, cynical, post-war Vienna at the start of the Cold War. Anton Karas wrote and performed the score, which

featured only the zither. The title music â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Third Man Themeâ&#x20AC;? topped the international music charts in 1950, bringing the previously unknown performer international fame. It is considered one of the greatest ďŹ lms of all time, celebrated for its acting, musical score and atmospheric cinematography. In 1999 the British Film Institute voted The Third Man the greatest British ďŹ lm of all time. Join them Sept. 21, 7 p.m. Ryan Carpe will be leading a brief discussion after the movie. This is an adult program and the discussion will be on the adult level. As always, there will be free theater popcorn, candy, coffee, and Jones Soda.

Genealogy will host reenactors

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Darke County Genealogy will meet Sept. 10, 2 p.m., at Garst Museum, Greenville. This meeting is free and open to anyone. The speakers will be Mr. and Mrs. Terry Purke, reenactors in costume from the OverďŹ eld Tavern in Troy. Refreshments will be served after the meeting.
