Thompson takes over as new Greenville Fire Chief CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE - After the retirement of Mark Wolf at the end of July, then Captain Russell Thompson took over as interim chief of the Greenville Fire Department. Friday morning, 47-yearold Thompson was officially sworn in as the new Chief and will begin his first shift on duty Monday morning. “I was the first person hired by newly promoted Chief Wolf in 2002. I find it humbling that his first hire is his successor,” Thompson said. Thompson was promoted from Captain after recently scoring the highest on his civil service exam, according to the City of Greenville Safety Service Director Curt Garrison. “I look forward to work-

ing with Chief Thompson,” Garrison told The Early Bird. “He demonstrates what it takes to be a true leader and his willingness to build relationships with other departments will be a positive impact on the entire community.” Thompson started his fire service career with Greenville on July 29, 2002. Rising through the department ranks, he was promoted to Lieutenant on May 2, 2011 and then to Captain on April 27, 2015. When asked what his goals are as the new Chief, Thompson says “there are three that quickly come to mind...” The first is to build positive relations with businesses, the community, mutual aid partners and locally appointed and elected officials. Second, is to restore and improve the depart-

ment’s Fire Safety Inspection Program for all commercial occupancies in the city. The goal is to provide fire prevention and education to business owners by completing inspections at least once a year. The third goal is obtaining required training and education for the newly promoted officers in addition to providing training opportunities for our young firefighters. Chief Thompson takes over a department with several young firefighters and a new Assistant Chief, Shannon Fritz, who was promoted to the position after David McDermitt left the department at the end of June. Despite all of the transitions the Greenville Fire Department is currently going through, Thompson says he is confident in his crew... which he refers to as family. “Retired Greenville Fire-

fighter Tim Ridenour lost his battle with cancer earlier this week. All available personnel attended his services for the duration. The majority of our firefighters never worked with Tim, but understand the concept that the fire department is a family,” Thompson explained. “Engine companies from New Madison and Liberty Township staffed our station during the service showing how our fire family is not restricted to the walls of our firehouse.” Russ Thompson is the son of Lee Thompson and the late Jackie Thompson. He is a 1987 graduate of Covington High School and served in the United States Army Military Police from 19871997. He has an AA in Police Administration from Eastern Kentucky University and is currently working toward a BS in Fire Administration

Darke County remembers 9/11 With this Sunday marking the 15 year anniversary of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 - The Early Bird asked it’s Facebook fans what they remember about that tragic day. Below are a few of the nearly 100 posts received: I was at home getting ready to go to work when the ﬁrst one hit. I sat down and watched with incredible sadness what was happening. I could not imagine what those people trapped in there were going through. I prayed for all who were involved and the people who had lost loved ones. It was and is still awful. -Diana Stebbins I was at work at Panasonic. Someone came down and told me a plane hit the world trade center. So I went to break and no more than that the 2nd plane hit and exploded . No one would leave the break room at all. Then the Pentagon was hit. Alot of emotion, alot of anger, and alot of tears happened after it was quickly discovered it was a terrorist attack. A day that will never be forgotten. God bless those who perished and that were affected by this! -Dan Heaton I was at home just ﬁnished getting our daughter off to school. Watching CBS morning news seeing it unfold before my eyes. I was in shock, fear and up most saddened. As the day and night went on I thought how could a country so free be under attack. A few days later watching President Bush give an awesome speech on ground zero made me see how great our country was forming together to help all. Every year I am saddened and remember all those lost that horrible day. I remind my children daily to live and love each day. That day plays over in my head ev-

ery year. -Stacy Moorman Sykes I was home watching the morning news on CBS along with my 2 and 5 year old boys. My husband was getting ready for work. I watched the live coverage of the ﬁrst plane hitting and then watched in absolute horror as the second plane hit. I was in shock and disbelief. My husband never made it to work that day. My most vivid memory of that day was how blue the sky was that morning. A perfect Fall day. A few days later, I was driving down Broadway and saw the ﬂags surrounding the circle and I was overcome with such pride. It was a beautiful sight. My memories are still very vivid to this day and I remember them every single year. - Michelle Stepp For me it’s different, not because I lost someone personally but because it’s my birthday. Yes I remember where I was and what I was doing. I relive that moment a lot more than some people realize because I always get the “awe” when I have to give my date of birth. For me it’s not a horribly sad day, how can it be? But it’s not always the easiest day to

celebrate. -Jessica Byram I don’t remember much BC I was so young, but this is why I enlisted in the Army. - Sydnee Townsend I was at work cleaning a patient’s teeth. I stopped what I was doing and he sat up in my dental chair and we both watched in disbelief. I remember just wanting to get home asap to Mark. On my way home, I heard one of the planes leaving Wright Patterson AFB break the sound barrier and I was terrified we were being bombed. - Amy Puckett-Loy I was sitting in English class when it came over our tv’s in the school and you could hear a pin drop throughout the entire school while we all just stared in disbelief. I got home and my dad was panicking worrying about some of our family in that area that he hadn’t herd from yet and at that point I was terrified. When your little and see your dad worried your terrified. -Briana McDonald I was working at Clark’s gas station, and (secretly) barely pregnant with my now 14 y.o daughter. I got to work a few minutes early. There was a lady who had

just ﬁnished pumping her gas, and she asked me (as I was walking in to work) what I thought of the attacks. I had absolutely no idea what she was talking about. We walked inside and the tv was on, the two of us east he’d the second tower being attacked together. We cried and hugged each other, trying to calm the other’s fear, and not let our own consume us. That day I “spilled the beans” about being pregnant because I was so scared and unsure of what the future held. I will never forget, the passion our country bestowed toward one another during the wake of that treacherous day. -Yulanda Wolfe I was at work. Someone plugged in a small tv when customers told us what happened. I wanted to stop watching but it had a grip on me. I prayed and cried for all of the families and friends who lost loved ones. I wanted to hold on to my family and not let go. -Lisa Martin I was at work in Versailles. We were all standing there, eyes glued to the tv. Then the second plane hit. Wow. At that moment we knew our country had been attacked. I don’t remember much about the rest of that day other than the drive home seemed surreal. Almost eerily quiet. We United as Americans that day, we all felt the same thing. We all felt violated regardless of skin color or religion. My son was little at the time and he asked for years why the planes ﬂew into the buildings. I couldn’t tell him why, I guess I didn’t want to be the one to tell him of such evil in the world. -Misty Hinkle Read many more memories on The Early Bird Facebook page at www.facebook. com/bluebagnews.

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT

Police respond to Fourth Street stabbing STABBING On Sept. 1 an officer was dispatched to the 500 block of East Fourth Street on the report of a stabbing. Upon investigation, the officer was told by witness Jacob Houndshell that he (Houndshell) was asked by his children to come outside. Upon doing so, the witness saw Josh Johnson on top of Josh Gillispie fighting. According to the report, Houndshell’s wife Sabrina attempted to break up the fight. Sabrina said she saw Gillispie with a knife and told her husband to call police. Josh Noble, a neighbor, also spoke with police and said she saw Johnson on top of Gillispie, beating him. Noble said he was not sure how the fight started. Gillispie told the officer Johnson was calling him obscenities and called him outside to fight. Gillispie then told officers he was attempting to defend himself when Johnson was on top of him beating him in the face, so he pulled out his knife and began repeatedly stabbing Johnson in the back and head area. Officers were unable to locate the knife at the scene. The knife is described as a black folding knife about six inches in length. Johnson reported to police the incident began when he heard Gillispie had poured bleach on Johnson’s daughter’s clothes.

Text messages between the two men escalated, leading to the altercation. The two met in the alley behind the 500 block of homes on East Fourth Street to fight. Paramedics were called to the scene but both parties refused treatment. Both men went to Wayne HealthCare Emergency several hours later for treatment. On Sept. 2, Johnson came to the police department to fill out a statement and advised he was afraid for his daughter’s life. He said he believed Gillispie will not stop the violence “until someone is dead.” He also advised he received six stitches and 13 stables to treat the lacerations caused by the knife attack. Photos were taken of the injuries. Information on the stabbing has been forwarded to the prosecutor’s office for review. TRAFFIC STOP On Sept. 1 an officer saw Tiara Tedore operating a vehicle northbound on North Broadway near North Main Street. Tedore was under two drug suspensions and was not valid to drive. The vehicle had fictitious plates, and was towed by Hot Rod Towing. Tedore was cited and released. DISORDERLY On Sept. 4 an officer was dispatched to the alley in the 400 block of Harrison Avenue in reference

toa subject harassing kids. Upon arrival the officer spoke with three witnesses. Several children were riding their bikes in the alley and the church parking lot to the rear of the residence. The witnesses told the officer a man drove through the alley on a lawn mower and stopped at the rear of the residence. He appeared drunk and asked if he could cause aproblem. One of the witnesses told him no and to just move on. The man then called the three names and yelled unintelligible words that may have been foul language. He left and then came back, again calling names and yelling foul language. One of the witnesses told the officer she believed the man lived around the corner and went by the name JR. The police officer had knowledge that Herman

Linder goes by this name and showed the witnesses Linder’s jail photo. They advised that it was him. On Sept. 5, Linder was advised of the offense and cited for an M-4 disorderly conduct since this took place within 1,000 feet of a school.

United Way expects another big campaign BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – After surpassing its goal last year, the Darke County United Way has its sights set a little loftier this year. Christy Baker, executive director for the Darke County United Way, revealed last year’s goal of $375,000 was easily exceeded when the organization was a little over $3,000 short of hitting the 1/2-million dollar mark. Baker felt the Darke County United Way’s governing board was conservative when deciding this year’s goal of $425,000. “I don’t want to lose ground,” she said. “I want to keep pressing on.” She expects to once again surpass the goal and top $500,000 when the campaign ends. Thousands of local residents are affected by the funds raised by the United Way. Baker explained the majority of the dollars raised in the county stay in the county. Matt Jordan, 2016 campaign chairman, outlined where the donations have gone and how many people they’ve helped. The three main categories of giving are Education, Stability and Health. Education includes or-

ganizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, Boys & Girls Club of Greenville, Gateway Youth Program, Miami Valley Boy Scouts, ACES Alternative School, 4-H and others. Stability includes the American Red Cross, Emergency Homeless Shelter, Supportive Housing, Community Unity, FAME, Fish Choice Food Pantry, Grace Resurrection Community Center and YMCA Child Development Center. Health includes Cancer Association of Darke County, Catholic Social Services, Senior Transportation, Community Services for the Deaf, Recovery & Wellness Centers of Midwest Ohio, Safehaven and State of the Heart Care. The Health category received $62,300 and served 2,392 people. United Way gave $128,000 to the Education category that served 2,501 people. Through local supporters, the Stability category received $88,500 and served 19,341 people. Bridge the Gap, an organization dedicated to help working adults with unexpected expenses such as rent and utilities received $5,000. Donations were also made to speciﬁc organizations directed by the giver.

United Way’s Dolly Parton Imagination Library received $22,000. Thos funds were derived from numerous grants and donations from several area organizations. The library currently serves over 700 local children from birth through pre-school. These children receive a new book every month. Baker encouraged all residents with children in this age group to take advantage of the program. Since 2010, over 23,000 books have been distributed locally. For more information, contact the Darke County United Way at 547-1272. Last year’s top ﬁve lo-

Music is something that you can always remember certain memories in your life by the soundtrack that was playing behind them when they were taking place.” With over 25-years in the country music limelight, Tritt called himself “extremely fortunate” and “blessed.” He said, “I always wanted to just be an artist, record and go out and play concerts and try to take the music to as many people as I possibly could. In the process of dreaming about all of that, when I was ﬁrst getting started, I could have never ever imagined that it would go as far as it has.

Travis Tritt coming to Versailles on Sept. 24 VERSAILLES – If your idea of a country club is driving an old Ford pickup truck and you do your drinking from a Dixie Cup, then you will want to be in Versailles at BMI Speedway on Sept. 24 for one of country music’s legendary artists, Travis Tritt. Tritt, who dominated the charts in the 1990s, will be thrilling audiences with his music including hits like Country Club, Here’s a Quarter, Help Me Hold On, Best of Intentions, Anymore, It’s a Great Day to Be Alive and Foolish Pride to name a few. It was 1989 when Tritt broke onto the country music scene. After signing a deal with Warner Bros. he produced his ﬁrst album, Country Club. He would go onto produce six more albums with the label and amass more than 25 million career album sales, two Grammys, and three CMA awards. When Tritt’s music comes on the radio anyone slightly familiar with country music knows whose voice it is. “My voice doesn’t sound like anybody else’s,” he said. “From the very beginning, for whatever reason, my voice had a special unique quality to it that I didn’t sound like any other artist.” The country music legend understands what his music and his voice means to many of his fans. “The fact that people can still hear my music on the radio and know immedi-

Greenville’s new transportation director calls position ‘awesome’ BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – It’s his second week of school and Greenville City School’s new transportation director is still super excited about his job. “It’s awesome,” he said Tuesday. “The (Greenville) bus drivers really care about their students, getting them to and from school safely,” noted Andrew Grasty, who was hired in August to take the position vacated by Beth Cain. Grasty comes to Greenville by way of VandaliaButler Schools, where he worked in the same position – only directly reporting to a transportation service contracted by the school instead of district ofﬁcials. “We’re very excited to have Andrew,” said Andrea Townsend, Greenville’s director of administrative and pupil personnel services: Grasty and Townsend have been working closely

to prepare for the district’s planned mid-winter move to the new K-8th grade building on Ohio Street. Currently, about 60 percent, or 1,500-1,600 students ride a bus to one of Greenville’s ﬁve buildings. When school starts back after Christmas break, the number will jump due to fewer students being able to walk to their new school. Buses will only be transporting students to two locations – the high school and the new K-8th grade building. Grasty wants parents to “be on the lookout” for another postcard from the school district announcing ﬁnal transportation plans for after the holiday break. The postcard could be overlooked with all the holiday mail coming to homes in December. While start and ending times won’t drastically change after Christmas, Townsend said, there may be some slight “tweaks” to the schedules.

Grades 5-8 will continue to be dropped off around the 7:30 a.m. timeframe, with a slight break of activity around the building until grades K-4 arrive around from 8:45 to 9 a.m. The plan is to have signage and plenty of volunteers at the new facility during the ﬁrst few days of school, Townsend said, to let parents who transport their children know where they should stop for drop off or pick up. Grasty is excited to be part of the Greenville district’s move to the new building. “I’m really happy to be part of the team,” the Nashville, Tenn. native said. Grasty met his wife Kara while they were attending Libscomb University in Nashville, where he earned a degree in business management and marketing. The couple currently resides in Englewood and are parents of two – Joshua, 19 months, and Hannah, 4 months. Kara, a native Buckeye,

is a second-grade teacher for Troy City Schools. A licensed school bus driver, Grasty said he hasn’t had to drive a route – yet – but is willing to do so when the need arises. “I have an understanding of what drivers do day after day,” he explained. “You can’t expect drivers to do anything you wouldn’t do.” Grasty also said he has been impressed with the friendliness he’s found in Greenville and the dedication of the school district’s bus drivers. “Some of our drivers have other jobs,” he said. “But they make driving a bus a priority of their day.” The district currently has 20 daily routes driven by regular bus drivers, but is still in need of sub bus drivers. Grasty urges parents who like to attend their children’s sporting events to apply to become subs. “It’s great for parents who don’t want to drive a regular route,” he said, but

ON YOUR MIND

READERS WRITE U.S.127 and Kruckeberg An idea for the U.S.127 and Kruckeberg Road intersection. As at many other similar intersections I have seen in my travels I propose the following. The right turn lane going east from Kruckeberg south on 127. The distance of the merge lane, install left and right turn lanes going north for turns in both directions. Sometimes there are more vehicles than the current lane can handle and they end up stopping in the left lane of trafﬁc. Then do the same thing coming south on 127. Also add a lane the same distance leading north from Kruckeberg as

a merge lane in the medium. Then post 55 mph just about 1 tenth mile farther before the new pavement and then 50 mph at the half way point to the intersection posted strictly enforced. Also add ﬂashing yellow lights on 127. Then 1 tenth mile past the merge lanes install resume speed signs. This is similar to many other intersections and is an alternative to closing it creating a similar problem in another location. This should eliminate all accidents at intersection. Dale Dickerson Union City

I still remember the day that John Glenn made that historic flight to orbit the JIM BUCHY earth. I was OHIO REPRESENTATIVE 22 at the time and was glued to my television, watching America make history. It was unbelievable and something no one thought was possible. John Glenn was more than an astronaut that day, he was a household name. John Glenn, born and raised in Ohio, made the first orbital flight of the earth, aboard the Space Shuttle Mercury-Atlas 6 “Friendship 7”, on February 20, 1962. On this historic day, he inspired millions of Americans by piloting the spacecraft as it orbited the earth three times in nearly five hours, a feat which eventually earned him the NASA Distinguished Service Medal. Following his historical space flight, Glenn ran to represent Ohio in the U.S. Senate and won on his third attempt. He was actively involved in weapons control and government affairs during his four terms in Congress. He also was chairman of the Senate Government Affairs Committee, and served on the Special Committee on Aging and the Foreign Relations and Armed Services committees. Upon retirement from the Senate, Glenn em-

barked on his last mission into space, a part of the Space Shuttle Discovery Crew, and became the oldest human to go into space. John Glenn has had numerous accomplishments and holds a special place in the hearts of many around Ohio and the nation. He has helped bring a glimpse of our universe into our living rooms, and has impacted the lives and dreams of many while doing so. From his service in the U.S. military, to his dedication to space exploration and his commitment to representing Ohioans in Washington, D.C., John Glenn has certainly made a lasting legacy. To honor this legacy, the Ohio House recently voted to rename Port Columbus International Airport after one of the most famous pioneers of ﬂight. Glenn has inspired Ohioans of every age and I was proud to support the effort to name John Glenn International Airport to celebrate his many endeavors throughout his life. John Glenn has always inspired me to reach for the big things in life. Hard work is the foundation that John Glenn built his life around and it is ultimately what led him to accomplish his dreams. Glenn continues to be a testament that anybody can achieve greatness and leave their mark on the world if they work hard and believe in themselves.

John Glenn inspires generations to dream

Commissioners’ Corner August has come and gone. Hot, humid weather, followed by flash rain storms and in some places flooding, the start of high school football, schools going back in session, and of course, the nine-day run of the Great Darke County Fair. Sounds like a typical August in the Miami Valley and in Darke County. First of all, the Darke County Commissioners wish to congratulate Clayton Murphy of New Madison for his outstanding Olympic accomplishment of a bronze medal in the 800 meter finals. I am sure that everyone in Darke County was yelling at the television when Clayton, with his classic last lap kick, was catching and finally caught the third place runner and became the Olympic Bronze Medalist. Congratulations to Clayton and the Murphy family for raising such and inspiring young man. Darke County is certainly proud of you. Of course, one of the biggest happenings every year is the Great Darke County Fair. Thank you to all the fairboard members, Fair Manager Daryl Riffle, and the entire

maintenance staff for all the hours of preparation and hard work you do throughout the year to make our fair the best in the country. This year, despite the weather and rain, the fair seemed to be as vibrant as ever. The Commissioners talked to several people from other states, some as far away as Texas, California, and Missouri, who really enjoyed themselves and thought they would come back. We will bet not many county fairs anywhere can say that. The Commissioners would also like to thank all of the 4H, FFA members, cheerleaders, band members, and everyone else who performed and showed their projects at the fair. We realize these young people are the backbone of the fair, and their accomplishments through hard work and dedication are making them into outstanding adults. The parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles and advisors who help with guidance of these young people should be proud of the efforts and rewards these young people have received for their hard work. Once again, “Thank You” to all who made this

year’s fair another success. There has been some real excitement happening in Darke County this month. We would like to Congratulate Mayor Mike Bowers as August is his last month as Mayor of Greenville. Mr. Bowers is taking over as the new Economic Development Director for the county starting in September. Mike was the perfect pick for the job, as he worked very closely with the former director, Marc Saluk, who left to be close to his home of Philadelphia. The Commissioners, the C.I.C, and Partnering 4 Progress wish Mike the best of luck, and continued economic success for Darke County. Another great event for the county was the announcement and groundbreaking for the new Whirlpool distribution system. The new building will be around 325,000 square feet, and will be state of the art. This is another example of the commitment Whirlpool, and the city and county have made to continue their success here. Whirlpool should start the building process shortly, and they hope to

be in by late spring. None of this is possible without a vibrant, talented and dedicated workforce. The people we have working in our manufacturing facilities continue to impress the managers and CEOs to the point that Darke County is where they want to locate, and stay. Thank you to all the hard workers who have made Darke County successful. The new MARCS radio tower has been purchased and should be going up in the future. The tower will be located in the Union City, Ohio area, and will much improve radio communications in the northern part of the county As we roll into September, and hopefully cooler and more stable weather, things continue to look up for Darke County. We would like for everyone to be informed of all that happens here, and the best way for that is for you to attend a regularly scheduled session. We meet every Monday and Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. at 520 S. Broadway in Greenville, just south of the Courthouse. Hope to see you there! The Darke County Commissioners

Work to begin soon on park’s band shell BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – An initiative that began a year ago to refurbish the Marling Band Shell may soon come to fruition. Mike Henderson of Mote & Associates and Dale Musser, president of the Greenville City Park Board, addressed Greenville City Council on Sept. 6 to share the progress that has been made. Henderson told council they are ready to start the

bidding process. Musser shared the park board believes it has achieved its goal for funds for the matching portion of the grant through the Land & Water Conservation Fund. The project is expected to cost $300,000. Actual construction costs are expected to be around $256,000. The outside of the band shell will be removed and rebuilt. The inner soundshell will be supported until the outside portion is rebuilt. Ofﬁces and restrooms will be added at the rear of the property. Musser said the park board currently has $94,959 in-hand. Those funds combined with

a park fund that has $30,000 and verbal commitment should help them exceed their goal with $155,000. According to Musser, those funds will be available “if the people that have committed to us verbally do what they have said they were going to do.” Council will be required to pass legislation to allow the board to begin requesting bids. The project is expected to begin this fall. Pam Garland, Greenville’s public transportation director, requested the city donate a vehicle that no longer serves a purpose for the city to the American Legion for

use by the Darke County Honor Guard. Fred Dean, representing the Honor Guard, said, “We are in dire need of getting a bus. The one we have is falling apart on us and costing us a lot of money. We are hoping the council will generously donate this bus to us.” Dean has inspected the bus and believes it will suit their purpose. President Pro Tem Tracy Tryon asked Dean to submit an ofﬁcial request from the American Legion Post Commander on the organization’s letterhead. Acting Mayor John Burkett explained the ofﬁcial request is needed because the city can’t give the bus to an individual.

Randall named UCHS Parade Grand Marshal GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY, Ind. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Clinton Randall has been selected to serve as the 2016 Union City Community High School Homecoming Parade Grand Marshal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year the students nominate several citizens from the community to be considered to serve as the Homecoming Parade Grand Marshal,â&#x20AC;? said UCHS Principal Aaron Black. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The students nominated several people including Clinton Randall and took the names to a vote.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clinton won by a land-

slide when his name came up,â&#x20AC;? continued Black. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clinton being named Grand Marshal, stems from him being here for the kids and taking part in a drug education program at our school and being available for our student athletes and putting many photos of the athletes online.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an honor that the students selected me as their homecoming Grand Marshal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I am truly humbled to even be considered.â&#x20AC;? Randall said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have developed many friendships since covering events at UCHS and look forward to many more in the years

to come.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being a part of a newspaper that allows me to cover events that are outside the Darke County border is refreshing and I know my years of experience will positively impact our community as a whole,â&#x20AC;? concluded Randall. Randall, the webmaster for the Early Bird Newspaper and Bluebag Media includes hundreds, if not thousands of photos of the UCHS athletes online, all available at no charge. Keith Foutz, the President and Publisher of The Early Bird and Bluebag Media stated he was extremely proud of Clinton

Wave seventh-graders win big over Rams BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Wave seventh grade football coach Josh Gilmore got his ďŹ rst career win over the Trotwood-Madison Rams in his ďŹ ve years of coaching junior high football for Greenville with a convincing 27-8. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good win,â&#x20AC;? said Gilmore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First time I ever beat themâ&#x20AC;Śfeels really good. They (Rams) show up with 10 kids and they are all athletes. They show up with 30 of them, they are all athletes. Five years of thisâ&#x20AC;Ś and ďŹ nally.â&#x20AC;? The Wave seventh graders got on the board ďŹ rst with Owen Jankowski taking the handoff from Wave quarterback Hayden Bush at the Greenville 14-yard line and carrying to the one. The following play had Jankowski scoring to give the Wave a 6-0 lead. Greenville recovered a Rams fumble with 3:59 in the ďŹ rst setting up a Wave scoring drive from the Trotwood 29-yard line. The big play on the drive came by way of a completed pass from Bush to Wave tight end Nolan Curtis on a third-and-14 at the 24 yard line setting up a Wave ďŹ rstand-goal from the seven. Jankowski picked up his second one-yard TD carry followed by a Nolan Curtis PAT kick giving the seventh graders a 13-0 ďŹ rst quarter lead. The visitors (No.5) would get their lone touchdown of the night taking advantage of a 65-yard TD run on their ďŹ rst play from scrimmage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ďŹ rst half you saw

Owen Jankowski runs over Rams defender for big gain in win over Trotwood (Gaylen Blosser photo)

No. 5,â&#x20AC;? said Gilmore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best player on the ďŹ eld hands down.â&#x20AC;? A completed two point pass conversion made it 13-8 score with the teams heading to second quarter play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The second half we come out and started hitting him,â&#x20AC;? Gilmore said of No. 5. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My kids ďŹ gured out that we could play with them. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big conďŹ dence thing when you ďŹ gure out you can play with somebody. That changes the game and it did for us tonight big time.â&#x20AC;? Trotwood moved into scoring position past the halfway mark of the second period facing a second-andgoal from the four-yard line only to have the Wave recover a Rams fumble. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told the kids at halftime; we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up guys,â&#x20AC;? stated Gilmore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look at the score. We are up at the halfâ&#x20AC;Śnot much, one play away from a long run. We held this kid in check. He has scored one time on us. We can stop him and they bought into it and look what happened. The second halfâ&#x20AC;Śshut them out. Just a great football game.â&#x20AC;? Greenville made it a 21-8 third period score with Jankowski scoring on a 19-

yard run followed by a Wyatt Trissel two-point conversion run. The big defensive play of the game came when Nolan Curtis raced the length of the ďŹ eld to stop a Rams certain TD, tackling the Rams running back at the one-yard line resulting in the Wave pushing the visitors back on the following plays, keeping the Rams off the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unbelievable effortâ&#x20AC;Ś that was huge,â&#x20AC;? Gilmore said of the Curtis hit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was the biggest play of the game.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nolan is our defensive end and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chasing down a Trotwood running back,â&#x20AC;? continued Gilmore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just unbelievable effort. The kid is full of energy. All of these kids I have; they practice hard, they come in, they want to win, they are willing to do whatever it takes to win.â&#x20AC;? Jankowski would pick up his fourth touchdown of the night on a 21-yard two-play drive with the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ nal TD coming by way of an 11yard Jankowski carry for a 27-8 Wave victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Owen Jankowskiâ&#x20AC;Śabsolute monster,â&#x20AC;? said Coach Gilmore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is some talent coming up and if we can keep them all out and keep it goingâ&#x20AC;Śthings are looking goodâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach Shaffer is the head of it,â&#x20AC;? continued Gilmore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I build the foundation, but those guys (JV and varsity coaches) build the house and we have a good looking house coming.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach Shaffer is the best coach around,â&#x20AC;? coach Gilmore concluded with a broad smile.

Greenville hosts Treaty City Invitational BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville hosted 1,130 runners representing 34 schools at the Treaty City Invitational. First year event manager and GHS varsity Cross Country Coach Stephanie Lind was pleased with the 2016 race in the Greenville City Park. “This was my ﬁrst year as event manager,” said Coach Lind. “We really think it went off without a hitch. Coach Eckstein was invaluable. We just can’t thank everyone enough.” “A lot of work by the committee,” said Dennis Eckstein, Greenville Junior High Cross Country Coach and course manager. “Stephanie Lind did a great job taking over as meet manager. Ed Porter did a wonderful job for years and he was ready to step aside. We thank him for all his

years of work.” “Coming in new we made a few changes…getting some schools back and getting some new schools here,” added Eckstein. “Schools know there is a great history here and like being part of this. Schools are coming back and we have commitments from teams next year that are not here today.” “We have a great park here,” said GHS High School Principal Jeff Cassell. “It’s a chance to showcase our park and give our athletes a home meet and a chance to have our community see them in action. Cross country is somewhat of a tough sport sometimes to watch but this is a great venue. You get to see a lot of the race and it’s just great to have all of these kids come here.” An event of this magnitude takes months of planning and preparation and would not be possible without the many volunteers who give so much of their

time. “I think every single parent of a runner helped in some capacity,” said Lind. “Some staying from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. the day before the race.” “All the city officials came together to help and the city and Darke County Parks were wonderful,” said Lind. “We got numerous comments on how beautiful our parks were, how well maintained this year.” “A special thank you to Sean Shumaker for mowing and rolling the course to perfection,” added Lind. Greenville’s Riley Emerick took first place in the boy’s middle school race with Alex Subler finishing in sixth place. “This makes me really excited for the future of Greenville running,” said Coach Lind. “All of our runners had a great day. Four high school runners got

Wave hangs tough in Xenia loss BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Green Wave varsity boys soccer team played well in the first half Tuesday night at Harmon field in a match with the Xenia Buccaneers to trail 2-0 at the half. “I’m tickled to death,” said Greenville coach Mark Coppess. “That game could have went either way and that is the thing that we have to keep focused on. We have to keep focused on the positives and take the good stuff from the games and move forward with when we get back in the tougher GWOC games.” The Greenville boys played even better the second half shutting out the first place GWOC American South Division leading Buc-

caneers losing by a respectable 2-0 score. “A great second half,” Coppess said. “Ultimately if they had played the first half like they played the second, it would have been a 0-0 tie or one goal difference one way or another.” “Very good second half,” added Coppess. “We outshot them the second half.” Greenville and Xenia finished the night with identical 4-2 records on the young 2016 soccer season. “Another great game,” stated Coppess. “I thought our defense did a really good job of covering. Dalton Walls did a great job cleaning up some things back there. We put a lot of good things together but we can’t come out dead on our feet like that like we did in the first half. It’s coming.”

lifetime personal records today.” Tippecanoe took first place in the boys middle school followed by Versailles with a second place team finish and Greenville finishing third out of 20 schools. Bradford’s Skipp Miller finished first in the girls middle school race with Austy Miller also of Bradford taking third.

Joe Spitzer of Versailles finished first in the High School Boys Small School. Bradford’s Karmen Knepp finished second in the High School Girls Small School race. “The kids are working hard, have big goals, and we are going to continue to see those times fall,” Lind stated. “The sportsmanship and compassion you see at running events can-

not be matched. Our team joined another school team in prayer for a runner who had to be taken off by ambulance. A boy from Houston ﬁnished in the top ﬁve and then immediately started serving water to the following runners.” “It’s a great honor for us to host the Treaty City Invitational,” concluded Mr. Cassell. “Couldn’t have asked for a better day.”

GREENVILLE – The Greenville freshman football team dismantled the Wilmington Hurricanes 30-0 in just two 10-minute halves played at Harmon Field in a Saturday afternoon game. “They got two quarters in after the JV game,” said Greenville JV and freshman football coach Bart Schmidt. “They took advantage of it and took it to them. Did a lot of great things out there.” Greenville got on the board a 2:39 in the ﬁrst with Marcus Wood scampering 53 yard for the ﬁrst score of the game. Wave freshman quarterback Tyler Beyke con-

nected with Tony Sells for a two-point pass conversion giving the Wave an 8-0 advantage. Wood returned a onehanded acrobatic pass interception for a 73-yard touchdown extending the Green Wave lead to 14-0 sending the teams to the break after 10-minutes of play. Wilmington opened second half play with possession of the ball only to have Sells scoop up a Hurricanes’ fumble and race 46-yard for a Greenville score with 6:48 on the second half clock. Beyke hit Alec Fletcher good for a two-point pass conversion and a 22-0 Wave lead. Greenville would score by way of a Beyke 13-yard

“That shows where our program is at with the numbers that we have,” Schmidt said of the large number of athletes playing Green Wave football. “Our program is getting better.”

When Kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Allergies Strike in the Fall School is in session, and just like clockwork your 8-year-old starts sneezing, snifďŹ&#x201A;ing, and snorting. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on? Chances are itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allergiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the immune systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abnormal reaction to a substance that would normally be quite harmless.1 Up to 40 percent of children in the U.S. have nasal allergies.2 How can you know for sure whether allergies are the culprit? One way is to have your child see the pediatrician, who may ďŹ nd clues in places like nasal mucous membranes. But the only way to identify speciďŹ c triggers is to do allergy testing.1 Outdoor allergens. Also known as hay fever, seasonal allergies often bring images of springtime sufferers, so common when many plants begin to bloom. In the fall, however, outdoor allergens such as ragweed and tumbleweed may also release tiny pollen and wreak major havocâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;especially in the morning.2,3 Indoor allergens. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all. In the fall, your child begins spending more time inside at school and home. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why many indoor allergens may then also rear their ugly heads.4 Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a sample: â&#x20AC;˘ Dust mites, a microscopic insect that lives in bedding, sofas, and carpets â&#x20AC;˘ Mold â&#x20AC;˘ Animal allergens such as fur, skin, feathers, or saliva â&#x20AC;˘ Clothing and toys made or stuffed with animal hair â&#x20AC;˘ Latex in rubber gloves, toys, or balloons, as well as in the elastic found in clothing3,4 Avoiding triggers. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lot of control over indoor allergens at school. But there certainly are some things you can do to

protect your child. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small sample of steps you can take: â&#x20AC;˘ Use air conditioners and keep windows closed in your car and at home to reduce exposure to pollen. â&#x20AC;˘ Have your child avoid playing in piles of dead leaves if mold allergies are a problem. â&#x20AC;˘ Take steps to reduce mold growth in the home. For example, ďŹ x leaky plumbing, remove bathroom carpets, and control indoor humidity. â&#x20AC;˘ Vacuum upholstered furniture and wash linens weekly and other bedding every 1 to 2 weeks in hot water. â&#x20AC;˘ Limit stuffed animals in the bedroom. Yes, I knowâ&#x20AC;Ś. That might be a tough sell. â&#x20AC;˘ Replace pillows every 2 to 3 years. â&#x20AC;˘ Encase pillows, mattresses, and comforters in special covers that keep dust mites out. Avoiding triggers is the best way to prevent the symptoms of allergies. But keep in mind that it can take three to six months to see an improvement in symptoms once indoor triggers are removed. 3 Talk time. Sometimes avoiding triggers is not enough to control symptoms. Before you stock up on loads of over-the-counter drugs, however, swing by and have a talk with me. I can point you to products in our store and guide you on their use. Also, make sure to have a conversation with your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pediatrician. Sometimes allergy testing or prescription medications are needed to bring real relief. 1 Nothing herein constitutes medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, or is a substitute for professional advice. You should always seek the advice of your physician or other medical professional if you have questions or concerns about a medical condition.

While working on a new album, the band caught the attention of Roxx Records out of California who recently signed the group to their label.

BioGenesis has been in existence since the year 2000 and has previously released two successful albums, The Mark Bleeds Through and The Rise, The Fall, The Rebirth. After being apart for three years, BioGenesis reformed by Bond and Riggs in 2016, welcomed the Nealeigh family, who brought an abundance of talent and years of experience. The newly formed band has spent the year working on a brand new album which will be entitled A Decadence Divine, as well as working on a live show. BioGenesis’ new album is planned to be ofﬁcially released under the Roxx Records label sometime

Edison students speak with residents GREENVILLE—Communications students at Edison State Community College’s Darke County Campus have been going into local schools for several years, talking to elementary and intermediate students about drugs, bullying… even the values of being courteous and respectful. Edison State’s summer Fundamentals of Communication class entered new territory this year, talking to Brethren Retirement Community residents about the challenges of the generations. “You’ve lived through these decades,” the students said. “You have dealt with them, survived them.” They noted the Great Depression and World War II, and then offered brief summaries of the successes and challenges of each decade through today’s issues of racial tension and terrorism. Their point? “You have lived through so much and dealt with so much... what advice do you

have for us as we deal with our challenges,” they asked the seven residents in attendance. “As a nation, we need to bring God back into our lives,” said one resident. The others immediately voiced their agreement. From their perspective, it was as simple as that. The students, without exception, considered the presentation a successful experience, not only having a respectful offering to different generations but also in teamwork. While they were happy with the way their assignment went, they had a bonus their counterparts in the fall and spring semesters don’t have. “What I really liked,” one of the students said, “was sitting down with the residents and simply talking.” The other students agreed. “We got a chance to get to know each other… learned a lot more than we did standing in front of them with our presentations.” Bob Robinson, Edison

Edison State students are Ruby Sacher, Julie Roseberry, Cierra Kaufhold, Zach Bevins, Tamera Mendenhall, Cory Jefferis and RJ Rabi Galleto.

DCC communications instructor, said the speech was the capstone of the course. It incorporated all of the elements of communication fundamentals – from research, ethics and critical thinking to teamwork and diversity – needed to be successful in today’s world. “Today’s professionals – more than any time in the past – need to be able to work as a team and understand the issues of human

diversity, not only among themselves but also those with whom they are communicating,” said Robinson. “They need to understand the roles that these values play in their dealings with others.” In the fall and spring, Edison State students make their capstone presentations to students in kindergarten through sixth grades. This summer their audience consisted of adults in their 70’s and 80’s.

Dept. heads at odds with city council RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville City Council will hold a special meeting on Sept. 13 as a result of challenge to a report approved by council at its Aug. 2 meeting. Several of the city’s department heads are at odds with information collected by Councilman Tracy Tryon in an individual assignment to review compensation and parameters for employment for all department heads. As stated in the minutes from the Aug. 2 meeting, Tryon, who serves as the chairman of the Finance Committee, was tasked with reviewing “all current Department Head’s compensation and parameters for employment.” However, Public Transportation Director Pamela Garland, Utilities Office Manager Betsy Smith and Tax Administrator Robin Henry say in their challenges that Tryon did not review “all” current department heads’ compensation and parameters for employment. Tryon countered the charge that he did examine every department head’s office. “I stand by the report,” he said. In the committee report submitted to council on Aug. 2, only a handful of departments were singled out as being studied. Tryon’s recommendations were to further study the Safety/Service Director’s salary as it falls below those of communities with similar social, economic and physical demographics and the position of Street Superintendent since the city has added more responsibilities to that position. The positions of Fire Chief and Police Chief were also singled out. He further recommended “the current compensation scale for salary wages remain in effect.” He also suggested that “consideration be given in the future for compensation for the Department Heads that oversee the operation of a 24-hour department.” The report also touched on the new federal government regulations regarding salaried and hourly employees that will take affect later this fall. During the meeting, Tryon stated, “In any business you would have the opportunity for hourly workers to earn more than salaried workers because of overtime.” Henry, in her challenge, stated she discussed the issue with the councilman prior to filing the challenge to the report. “I asked Tracy why he used the 2013 OML (Ohio Municipal League) City Salary Survey when there was a 2015 OML City Salary Survey. He stated that he didn’t know that there was a 2015 Survey.” She continued, “I showed Tracy a chart I had made up showing the different salaries of the cities he had listed on the report, along with the 2010 Census population. I asked him if he had a similar chart. He said no. He said he looked up some of the salaries on

serb.ohio.gov and wrote them on sticky notes. I told him I would like to see the sticky notes of the salaries for my job. Tracy stated that ‘Oh, I really didn’t look up the salaries for your job.’” Tryon said he looked at the numbers again compared to the 2015 OML City Salary Survey and contends his report continues to fall in-line with those numbers. Tryon pointed out not all of the communities he examined had departments comparable to what Greenville has. According to Henry, one of the cities Tryon used as a reference for making his report was Deﬁance and the tax administrator in that city makes $10,000 more than the same position in city of Greenville. Smith suggested the report be amended to reﬂect the positions actually covered in the report. Garland said, “The methodology for the report is also in question for inadequacy as the comparable cities used, did not have transit and there was no consideration for other factors such as education, years of experience, assets managed, etc.” She added, “Our livelihood is taken very seriously as some of us are the sole breadwinners of our families. This report took over one year to conduct and yet was not given its due diligence.” Acting Mayor John Burkett asked for the special meeting and suggested it should be held in executive session for the expressed purpose of discussing personnel.

wish to ‘Shine On’ SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE - Wanting to continue their daughter’s legacy to “Shine On,” Sean and Kristi Strawser are inviting the community to join them Saturday, Oct. 1 at the Darke County Fairgrounds. The 3rd annual Shine On Corynna Glow in the Dark Run/Walk and Family Event will benefit Corynna Strawser’s desire to raise awareness for Mitochondrial Disease research. Corynna passed away from the disease in 2013, at the age of 16. The annual event, Kristi Strawser said, “brings together the two things she (Corynna) wanted for her legacy – to fight Mitochondrial Disease and to give back to her community, which supported her. Corynna ended up being the community’s child – so many people supported her” while battling the disease. Corynna was officially diagnosed during her last year of life. “She had always had issues with her GI (gastrointestinal tract) system. When she was 13 it took over her life. Her GI system failed and she could not eat. As other systems began failing, they (doctors) started looking at the possibility of Mitochondrial Disease.” Corynna’s wish was for her family to raise awareness by fundraising for research being conducted by the United Mitochondrial Foundation, as well as for a

scholarship to be presented to a graduating senior at Greenville High School and for Corynna’s Wish through State of the Heart Hospice. The funds raised through the 5K also go to support other community efforts, Kristi said, for example, someone who is ill or who has a need. “There are families in Darke County who are affected by Mitochondrial Disease,” Kristi said. “There is no cure for the disease, no treatment. There’s not actually a lot of great diagnosis treatment, that’s why we support research.” The Strawsers are so dedicated to helping find a cure that they’ve spent countless hours to recently be named a non-profit organization. “That’s kind of a big accomplishment,” Kristi explained. “We’re now Shine On Corynna Inc. It was quite a lengthy process for us.” Attorney Travis Fliehman assisted the Strawsers as did Fry & Company CPAs, both of Greenville. “You have to be stateapproved, form your bylaws, come up with a mission statement that the IRS will approve, write a purpose. It’s a big process to get approved by the IRS. You can’t be benefitting one person, they’re really specific about that.” As part of being declared tax exempt, Shine On Coynna Inc. now has a dedicated committee and board members to help plan the fundraiser and oversee the proceeds.

The Strawsers are hoping to see around 300 people support this year’s event. “The ﬁrst year was just phenomenal in the 5K portion, with around 400 participants,” Kristi said. “Last year the weather didn’t cooperate.” Although Corynna wasn’t a runner, her sport of choice was dance, says her mother. “She was more the artsy type. She was an aspiring makeup artist and dancer. That was her big passion, her sport.” Corynna took dance at Barbata Rethlake Dance Studio and at 5678 Dance Studio, both in Greenville. All activities for the Oct. 1 Shine On Corynna event will take place within the Darke County Fairgrounds and will begin at 4:30 p.m. “We rent out the Youth Building on the fair-

Illumination Festival celebrates 10 years RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Over a decade ago one person with a vision to bring contemporary Christian music to Darke County turned into annual festival that brings thousands of visitors to Greenville. It started with a visit by Marty McCabe to the Darke County Fairgrounds and a visit with Daryl Riffle. That meeting turned into another meeting with a few more invited guests. From that meeting it was decided to open it up to the public to see if there was interest in forming a committee to bring a music festival to the community. In the little conference room at the Darke County Fairgrounds a new festival was born. One of the first orders of business was to find a name. A plea was made in The Early Bird and the new committee received many good suggestions, but the winner came from Randy Hammaker who suggested the festival be named Illumination – Light in the Darke. McCabe said he had been to other festivals and felt a continual pull to do something here. “After going to other festivals and

conferences, like Alive and Acquire the Fire, it seemed like we could pull something off like that in our hometown.” Since the beginning, McCabe and his wife, Connie, have been the steam in the Illumination locomotive to keep the train moving forward. “They’re dedication to this event is unparalleled,” said one committee member. While the festival has changed a few times over the years, McCabe says it is exactly what he hoped it would be. The games, activities and coffee house music during with the main concert in the evening make it an all-day event. “It’s exactly what I dreamed,” he said. While some might think getting to know the bands or enjoying the music would be the committee’s favorite part of the festival, McCabe and his fellow committee members would disagree. Many times they stop what they’re doing and look around at the crowd and take pleasure in the joy the visitors are experiencing. McCabe admitted, “I really enjoy turning around and watching the crowd and seeing them enjoying the worship music, or maybe their worshiping, singing or have their

One of the highlights for Illumination Festival committee members at every concert is watching the crowd enjoy themselves and letting the music become part of them.

hands raised.” McCabe was quick to praise the committee and volunteers who help put the festival together. “They all have their own God given talents,” he said. “They

use their talents to the fullest to make this event possible.” Over the years, Illumination has featured Big Daddy Weave, Newsboys, Toby Mac, Sanctus Real,

Partnership forms for After School Program GREENVILLE – “Greenville Schools cares ‘a bunch’ about its students,” said Andrea Townsend, GCSD Director of Administrative & Pupil Personnel Services. “We know that it takes all of us to help them succeed. “This program offers such an awesome opportunity,” she continued. “It’s the collaborative approach… Greenville

Schools, Edison, the Empowering group. It couldn’t have been done otherwise.” Townsend was referring to the inaugural After School Program at Edison State Community College, conducted by Empowering Darke County Youth. It offers kindergarten through fourth grade students a safe, secure place to get help in areas they are hav-

ing trouble with or to do their homework. Some students will take part in shared reading, art or other educational activities while waiting for mom or dad to pick them up after work. Parents at East Intermediate and Woodland Primary schools will be getting the forms in about a week to enroll their children in the program and request a bus assignment to take the students directly to Edison from school. Parents are then responsible to pick their children up by 6 p.m. The program starts Sept. 19. “We tutored kids over the summer,” said Eric Fee, president of Empowering Darke County Youth. “Seven tutors worked with 43 students at the Greenville Library. Over time we realized the needs of these kids won’t go away once school starts again. If it wasn’t for Edison and Greenville schools this couldn’t be happening.”

Darke County Campus Dean Chad Beanblossom said Edison has the space and it is an excellent opportunity for the college to provide additional services to the community. Edison President and Empowering Board Member, Doreen Larson, concurred. “Edison is about education in Darke County,” she said. “It is our focus – and responsibility – to serve our community in any way we can. This program is a great fit.” GCSD Transportation Supervisor Andrew Grasty will be coordinating the bus schedules. According to Townsend, he will be handling each transfer request to Edison individually. “I look forward to doing this,” Grasty said. “I love kids and this is an awesome opportunity for them.” Empowering accepts financial donations and needs volunteers for supplies, snacks and fundraising efforts. For more information, go to Facebook Empowering Darke County Youth or email empoweringdarkecountyyouth@ gmail.com. The Bistro Off Broadway is offering a donation event to Empowering when a bill is paid with a flyer available at Edison, the Greenville Library or from any Empowering Board member. The dates are Sept. 15-17.

Volunteers run the Mad Anthony’s Tavern serving up old fashioned sodas to quench everyone’s thirst.

Delicious food served at Prairie Days GREENVILLE – What is everyone’s favorite part of a festival? That’s right, the food. Once again, most food available during the Prairie Days festival will be provided by local nonproﬁt organizations; so not only are you ﬁlling your belly, you are helping out a good cause. Parking and admission to Prairie Days are free, so that gives families a few extra bucks to splurge on some pie and ice cream. From hamburgers to hot dogs, walking tacos to sloppy joes and sausages, there is sure to be a sandwich to satisfy everyone’s cravings. There will also be French fries, kettle

corn, pork rinds, fresh fruit, cider slushies, and much more. Don’t forget to wash all the food down with some old fashioned sodas and top off the meal with a piece of the best pie in Darke County from the pie baking contest. Prairie Days has extended hours for the third year, so come for lunch and grab an early supper before leaving. The festival will be held Sept. 24 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sept. 25 from noon-5 p.m. For more information, call the Nature Center at 5480165, or visit the website at www.darkecountyparks. org.

Event hosted by Olde Thyme Gardeners

Shown are Angela Beumer, Lisa Marcum, Charlene and Rodney Applegate and Cindy McCallister.

Cindy McCallister, Angela Beumer and Lisa Marcum present the award to Eunice Steinbrecher.

Beautiﬁcation Awards given by Ladybugs GREENVILLE – Ladybug Garden Club Community Beautiﬁcation Awards were recently presented to Rodney and Charlene Applegate, Eunice Steinbrecher, and Virginia Crim. The committee of Angela Beumer, Lisa Marcum and Cindy McCallister selected the winners. The Applegates were chosen for the plantings of perennials, annuals and numerous items of garden art at their home on Washington Avenue. The large concrete planter in their front yard was planted with petunias, sweet potato vine and dracena. They have numerous hanging baskets of various annuals. Eunice Steinbrecher, along with her late husband Leroy, created

their garden on their 11acres when they moved to Greenville. It brought many hours of relaxation to them and it now brings joy with the many trees, shrubs, giant tropicals plants and other plantings to attract birds and butterﬂies. Eunice gets the assistance of gardener Jim Chrismas to help maintain the gardens. A saying in the gardens reads “Happiness is Home Grown” and it is evident the Steinbrecher gardens bring much happiness. At the age of 98, Virginia Crim of the Brethren Retirement Community plants many ﬂats of marigolds ranging in different colors. She enjoys staying active and her garden is a passion that gets her outdoors and active.
