County adds new program to help the unemployed BOB ROBINSON

ASSOCIATE EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – There is a reason Darke County has low unemployment… actually several reasons. Darke County Commissioner Mike Stegall recently called local unemployment at a little under 4 percent. One of the reasons is the county’s ‘Taking Charge of Your Life’ Program taught by Lorie Simpson. Another is Sherry Pearson’s role in teaching Interview Skills, Career Counseling and now a new program called ‘Getting There… A Curriculum for People Moving into Employment.’ More simply stated, the program is typically referred to as Job Readiness. It is part of the offerings of Darke County Job & Family Services. “Before, they sat down and watched a video. How effective can that be?” Pearson asked. “Now we have a class. It meets every Monday from 9 to 2, called Getting There…” It’s a new program implemented the first of August; with its first ‘student’ on Aug. 17. Three weeks later, Pearson has worked with four individuals. One got her job almost immediately after completion, two others are still in the 4-week program and one has just started. “We ask them what they like to do, what is important to them, what they are good at,” she said. “We talk about what is important in a job and the resources available in our (job) center.” She also works with them on barriers to employment… “You have child care and transportation. As long as there are no problems, you’re fine. What happens if you lose the babysitter or your car won’t start? You have to have a backup plan.” According to Pearson,

they are taught things like how to fill out an application or build a resume, how to dress for an interview, how to actually do an interview… “You’d be surprised how many people don’t know how to look for a job,” she said. Then, once they get the job… they need to know how to keep it. “They have to be dependable and reliable,” she said. Pearson said they try to do ‘Taking Charge of Your Life’ first, then follow it with ‘Getting There.’ “It doesn’t always work out that way but that’s what we try for.” Some of the things individuals learn are communication skills, dealing with emotions, staying away from unacceptable behavior… “We teach them that conflict is actually an opportunity. As adults, they are ready to hear this stuff.” Clients are individuals who have applied for state assistance. If they aren’t already working (or on disability), they have to go through programs designed to put them to work. There are nine steps in the process: First is Taking Charge… then Job Readiness. Third is Employer Expectations, fourth is Ohio Means Jobs. The fifth step is TABE (Tests of Adult Basic Education) to determine their basic skills, followed by practice applications, weekly job contacts, interview skills and career counseling. They learn they are in charge of their future, she said. “It’s your choice. Nothing is going to change unless you take ownership of what’s going on in your life.” Pearson has been with JFS for eight years but has only been a case worker for the past two months. “I love it… it’s where I belong,” she said.

A tradition returns with Spirit of Greenville II cannon GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville is back in the cannon business thanks to D. A. Fitzgerald Co., Inc., The Light Foundation, Scott Fitzgerald, Bill Light, Hank Steinmetz, Mike Christman, Matt Light and many more. “This project is as home grown as it gets,” said Greenville native Matt Light and former New England Patriots three time Super Bowl Champion. “I can remember hearing stories about my grandfather. The projects that took place within your little community and the people that were involved. It wasn’t people from out of town, it was locals and these guys created things that stood the test of time.” “I heard a lot about these projects because I come from a family that is very rooted in the engineering of things,” continued Light. “Coming up with neat concepts and having the where-withall to actually machine it, produce it and manufacture it.” “This new Spirit of Greenville cannon is that for me… kind of like taking a walk back in time,” added Light. “I got to work with my dad. I got to work with Scott Fitzgerald whose father and my father were both very creative and innovative back in the day and did a lot of work together.” “They took away the original Spirit of Greenville two years ago,” said Greenville alum class of

’97 Scott Fitzgerald. “Going to the football game and other sporting events two years ago… not having a cannon and seeing people’s reaction, like where is the cannon; it just kind of spurred me on to have a meeting with the mayor and ﬁnd out what is going on and the rest is history.” “We got Bill and Matt Light involved and started doing some drawings and two years later and 800 hours we have a cannon,” added Fitzgerald. “The cannon was built within the regulations of the Federal Government.” “You have some incredible craftsmen that are right here in Greenville that all got together to do something for the community that’s going to stand the test of time,” stated Light. “It’s going to

blow people away… the detail, the fit and finish, the engineering and the manufacturing that went in to make this new cannon.” “Hank Steinmetz and Mike Christman are phenomenal black smiths,” said Light. “They’re really experts in their own field. They are all local. They are guys that have worked together on other projects.” “It’s the first of its kind… it’s never been done before,” continued Light. “There are no blueprints that exist anywhere on earth for anything like this.” “Scott Fitzgerald took over when his father passed,” said Light. “He’s going to have hundreds of hours in machining time on this cannon.” “The football team came out and they were

ecstatic to see it last week at practice,” said Fitzgerald. “They gave me a thumbs up and that made endless hours with Bill (Light) and 800 hours… made it worth it.” “I would like to thank Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr. Light for their part in helping get this cannon back up and going,” said Greenville Superintendent of Schools Doug Fries. “The Greenville City Schools and the Greenville Athletic Department is happy to have the cannon back in operation. It’s a tradition of Greenville City Schools.” Donations to help defray the cost of the cannon can be sent to the Athletic Booster marked “Attention Cannon Project.” “It is truly a one of a kind,” Light concluded. “Just a work of art.”

Illumination brings a lot of music and fun RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – For the ninth consecutive year, Greenville will host one of the fastest growing music festivals in the country. Illumination – Light in the Darke – Festival will be coming to the Darke County Fairgrounds on Sept. 19 and will feature some of the top names in the contemporary Christian music. This year’s lists of artists will be headlined by David Crowder and Mandisa. Joining these legends on stage in front of the Grandstand will be Unspoken, Manafest, Among the Thirsty and We Are Leo. NOTE: Unlike past years, this year’s Illumination Festival will be held on Saturday. Crowder began his ca-

reer in 1996 while still a student at Baylor University. Before long, Crowder’s music was being heard everywhere. He, along with his band, The David Crowder Band, recorded numerous hits and earned several Gospel Musical Association awards. The David Crowder Band came off of the road in the 2012, but that wasn’t the end of Crowder. He began touring again a year later in 2013. In May 2014, he released his newest album, Neon Steeple. Mandisa broke onto the music scene during the fifth season of American Idol. Although she finished in ninth place, she is one of only five Idol alumni to earn a GRAMMY award. She debuted her first CD in 2007 with True Beauty and has since gone on to release Freedom, What if We Were

Real, and Overcomer. In addition to earning a GRAMMY for Overcomer, she also garnered K-Love Awards for the song and was named Female Artist of the Year in 2014. As in past years, the main stage entertainment is only part of what Illumination has to offer. The midway has expanded again this year and will offer plenty of opportunities for youth groups and individuals. Bring your youth group and enjoy many team building activities. You can also try your hand at the high ropes course, rock climbing wall or zip line. There will also be inﬂatables and laser tag. The activities will open at 11 a.m. and will stay open until 6 p.m. Music will also be prevalent throughout the day at the Coffee House. Several great regional bands

Mandisa

will be sharing their talents. This year’s lineup includes City of Bright, Coley, Noah Back and Radiant. The Coffee House opens at 1 p.m. and bands will play until 4 p.m. Gates to the main stage will open at 4 p.m. Food vendors will also be available throughout the day. Again this year, the Illumination Festival Committee will be accepting

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT

Unlocked car stolen; domestic violence in a moving semi On August 31 police were dispatched to Walmart, 1501 Wagner Ave., regarding a stolen vehicle. The victim, Robyn Copley, said she had left the car unlocked with the keys in it and when she came out of the store the car was gone. The officer saw the surveillance video showing a male wearing no T-shirt exit one vehicle then get into the victim’s vehicle, then drive out of the parking lot. Police later found it parked on Third Street, abandoned with the keys missing. During this time Ashley Woods had contacted the Greenville Police Department saying it was her brother, Steven Woods, and “that he is highly intoxicated.” Police later contacted Ashley who said she had taken Woods and a friend to Walmart. Her brother stayed in the car while the other two went inside. She told police she had left the store and saw her brother get into a vehicle that was parked next to hers in the parking lot. She observed him “take off” in the vehicle. The officer asked if she would call her brother. She did; Woods told her “the cops are looking for him and he needs to hide.” He agreed to meet her at the Firestone parking lot. The officer observed from a dis-

tance then approached the vehicle. Woods was sitting in the back seat attempting to hide his body. The ofﬁcer ordered him out of the vehicle; he noticed Woods’ eyes were bloodshot and glossy and he had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on him. Woods put his hands in his pockets and refused to remove them and put them in the air after repeated commands. The ofﬁcer eventually forced him to the ground in order to detain him. There was no appearance or complaint of an injury. He was taken to Greenville PD where he was uncooperative and “shouted things that did not make sense.” Woods said he did not steal the car and refused any other information about the incident. At some point he said he would like medical attention due to a liver issue. Township Rescue was called. He requested to be transported to the hospital, but once there refused to cooperate and continuously shouted obscenities. Since Woods refused treatment he was released by the hospital and transported to Darke County jail on a charge of felony theft. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE On September 6 police received a call from the victim, advising she was in a

moving semi in Greenville and was hit. The victim stayed on the phone to aid police in locating the vehicle. Police conducted a traffic stop at which time the victim exited the semi claiming she had been struck in the left side of her face. There were no visible markings or bruising. The suspect was asked to step outside of his tractor to speak with officers. The driver showed his hands to the officers; no visible marks were observed. He explained that the victim had met him at a truck stop in Preble County. He brought her back to Greenville when the conversation became heated. He said he asked her to get out of the truck twice; she refused. He told her he was going to call the police. She said go ahead then allegedly began hitting herself in the face with her hands. The suspect said she told him she could call the police, too, and he would go to jail. The two have a child together (not present) but do not live together. Based upon the victim’s accusations the driver was cited for domestic violence and released. On August 28 police responded to domestic violence call. The victim said she was trying to get into a vehicle when the suspect

confronted her. She told him she did not want him there and got into the car. The suspect got between the door and door jamb to keep her from closing it. He allegedly grew angry and attempted to take the keys from her. She told him to let her get her belongings and she would give him the keys. He grabbed her hand and tried to pry the keys from it, hurting one of her fingers. Eventually she opened her hand and he got the key. The suspect then grabbed her by the arm, pulled her out of the car and pushed her away. He locked the doors of the car. A witness arrived, observing portions of the assault. She took the victim to her house. The suspect followed but was told to leave, which he did. The suspect was issued a misdemeanor citation for domestic violence. FIGHT On September 6 police responded to an alley on the north side of Fourth Street regarding a possible fight. Three juveniles were there, along with 18-yearold Zachery Flippo. At first no one knew about a fight, and Flippo and one juvenile seemed anxious to leave. Flippo then said he was hit over the head with a beer bottle by an unidentified

suspect. He had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on him, his eyes were bloodshot and glassy, he was unsteady on his feet and his speech was slurred and excitable. At ﬁrst he denied drinking anything but later admitted to it. According to the report he didn’t want to do anything about the ﬁght and eventually wanted medical treatment. He was cited for underage consumption, then Greenville Township transported him to Wayne ER. The juvenile couldn’t identify his attackers but lost his glasses during the struggle. He added Flippo’s bike is gone; something Flippo hadn’t mentioned. The juvenile also admitted to drinking; his speech was slightly slurred, eyes bloodshot and he became emotional. There was a bag on the ground, which he denied was his, but which also had items in it that he admitted were his. One of the items was a marijuana pipe. He was cited for underage consumption and warned for drug paraphernalia. His mother was contacted and he began to complain that his head hurt. His mother talked about taking him to the hospital. No further investigation on the assault unless “they come back sober with better information.” ANIMAL PROBLEM On August 29 police were dispatched regarding a dog at large. A complainant told police the victim, Ted Fitzgerald, had just walked by and said he had gotten bitten by a dog. Police contacted Fitzgerald at his residence, 218 Central Ave. He said he was taking groceries into his house when he heard loud movement on

the other side of his neighbor’s fence at 214 Central Ave. He stood on the fence to look over it to see a white dog attacking something. Then the dog saw him and lunged at him. He threw the bag of groceries at the dog but still got bitten on the right forearm, causing numerous injuries and bleeding. He said he got a can of mace that he carries for work and followed the dog down the alley at the rear of his house. Another dog emerged, then both reportedly began to act aggressively toward Fitzgerald. He sprayed both dogs. The victim followed the dogs to 109 Euclid Ave. where he met with suspect John Hathaway, then returned to his residence and called police. Hathaway told police the dogs belong to his girlfriend but she wasn’t home and the dogs got out. The ofﬁcer contacted the dog warden who said to have Fitzgerald ﬁll out an incident with them. Photographs of the victim’s injuries, along with the report, were sent to the dog warden for charges.

Turn in unwanted prescription drugs GREENVILLE – On Sept. 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Darke County Drug Task Force along with Darke County Family Health, Darke County Solid Waste and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Bring your medications for disposal to Darke County Family Health, 5735 Meeker Road, Greenville. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked. This collection is for items in pill form only. They cannot accept any creams, powders or liquids during this collection. Please feel free to mix all your unwanted drugs in a zipper bag.

Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans

VERSAILLES – Versailles Agriculture Education Food Science and Technology Students throughout the 2014-15 school year have been involved with a project based learning project related to developing a new ice cream variety for Velvet Ice Cream. Velvet ice cream is located in Utica, Ohio and is celebrating its 100th anniversary and is the largest ice cream maker in Ohio. Students in the Food Science and Technology Class worked in groups of two or three and was assigned the project of designing a new ice cream variety that would be served at the Ohio State Fair. The ice cream variety had to be a variety that Velvet was not currently selling and each group could start with a vanilla or chocolate based ice cream. As a result of the project based learning project, Versailles Ag Ed students created the following ice cream varieties: Abigail White and Shelby Winner created Lemon Ginger Ice Cream; Collin Peters and Lewis Winner created Peanut Butter and Jelly Ice Cream; Christa Puthoff, Katelyn Goettemoeller and Emily Ruhenkamp created Banana Nut Bread with Salty Carmel and Banana Ice Cream; Erika Grogean and Maggie Hedrick created Red Velvet Smore’s Ice Cream; Danielle Hesson and Emily Langenkamp created Cinnamon Sugar Donuts with cinnamon sticks; Austin Didier and Shane McGlinch created Wittles with skittles with watermelon drink; Clair Schmitmeyer and Makayla Berger created Cappuccino; Emily Fraley, Sarah Gigandet and Janelle Hoelscher created Berry Lemonade Sweet Tea Ice Cream; and Breanon Hall and Emily Clack created Green Apple Jolly Rancher Ice Cream. Besides designing an ice cream variety the students also developed the front and back label of an ice cream container including the nutritional label for each variety that they created. The students also created a marketing plan and implemented the 4 P’s of marketing based on their ice cream

variety including establishing the price, the place of distribution, product and promotion. Also, as part of the project each group established GMP’s – Good Manufacturing Practices that would be used inside for employers as part of a food processing plant. Each group also established a flow chart from the point of receiving raw cream to distribution of a finished product for making their product inside of a food processing plant along with the groups identified CCP (Critical Control Points) and CP (Control Points) as part of their flow chart and the groups established HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) Plan for their CCP’s. Once each group developed their ice cream variety a taste testing was conducted with the high school students and the students picked their top 3 varieties. The top three varieties included Red Velvet Smore’s, Lemon Ginger and Banana Nut with Carmel were taken to State FFA Convention, in which FFA members, parents, alumni and foundation sponsors sampled the varieties. Also at State FFA Convention, Versailles FFA took a tour of Velvet Ice Cream and saw the production on their ice cream. They also met with Luconda Dager, president of Velvet Ice Cream. All varieties were sent to Velvet ice cream for them to taste and review and Velvet ice cream decided the ice cream that they wanted to pursue serving the ginger lemon ice cream created by Abigial White and Shelby White. Several individuals and companies from Versailles helped assist with this project. They included Kay Francis of King’s Command assisted with understanding CCP’s, CP’s and developing a HACCP plan. Michael Delligatta of the Inn of Versailles worked with Versailles Agriculture Education Food Science and Technology Students on two different occasions. Michael first came in and the students reviewed with Michael their ice cream variety and Michael offered suggestions. Once the students developed the ice cream variety Michael returned and sampled the varieties and offered suggestions for improvement. A special thanks to Michael and Kay for their industry

Splash Pad

I think the idea of a splash pad and park downtown is really nice. BUT what about the south side swimming pool that has been closed for 3 or 4 years because there is no money to fund it??? The playground equipment at this park is not usable in hot weather because there is no shade and it is too hot for the children to play on during the day. How can we possibly support something new if we can’t support what is already here? Vicky Root, Greenville ~~~~~~~~~~

Renewing commitment to Ohio workers Labor Day is more than just a last hurrah of summer, a day for picnics and SHERROD barbeques BROWN for many U.S. SENATOR families. It’s also an important time for us to reflect on the labor movement’s proud history in Ohio, and to honor the workers who paved the way for the worker protections we too often take for granted. These workers built our strong middle class, and built our country. They laid down the railroad tracks that move people and products across the country. They worked on shop floors, innovating as they labored. They toiled in mines, digging the coal that would power our trains and factories. It’s that drive and dedication that built our great country. And it’s because of these workers’ efforts – their organizing, their sacrifice – that today more Americans enjoy a decent wage, pensions, and retirement security. But their work – our work – is not finished. This Labor Day, we need to honor this proud labor legacy with more than just words—we must honor it with action. Too many workers still fall through the cracks, and too many lack important workplace protections. After decades of attacks on our workers and on the labor movement, too many Ohio workers are left on their own. Fifty years ago, one in three Americans was a member of a union. Today that number is one in ten. That is why we need to step up to the plate, and pass laws and rules to make sure that, for all workers – whether or not they belong to a union –

hard work pays off. Overtime rules have eroded significantly. Most Americans, including nearly two million Ohioans, have no paid sick or family leave. The minimum wage hasn’t been raised in nearly a decade. Ohio women are paid roughly 83 percent of what their male counterparts earn. This is why we still have work to do. I’ve called on the President to finalize new overtime rules that would expand overtime to pay to an estimated 160,000 Ohioans. I’m working to pass the Healthy Families Act, which would allow workers to earn up to seven days a year in paid sick leave. I’m supporting the Paycheck Fairness Act, which would crack down on wage discrimination, and make sure equal pay means equal work. And I helped introduce the Raise the Wage Act, to increase the minimum wage to $12 by 2020. American history is a history of struggle for working people – fighting for representation and fair wages, for access to good paying jobs and the dignity every human being deserves. Today, our struggle continues. This Labor Day, remember the generations of workers who have come before, and remember that it is up to us to continue their legacy. If you are up before the sun to get to your job that supports your family, this day is for you. If you take three different buses to get to work, so you can put food on the table, this day is for you. If you come home with aching feet, but know it’s all worth it when you see your children’s smiling faces, this day is for you. To the working men and women of Ohio, I wish you a happy Labor Day.

I’m not a big fan of made up words

I like words! You might be thinking to yourself, “Well, duh? You are a writer.” Others are probably thinking, “You couldn’t tell by the crap you put in your column.” For those who were thinking the latter rather than the former – I stick my tongue out at you. I use words daily – some of them are good words – some of them I just think to myself because I don’t want to get hit in the face for saying what I was thinking. I probably have an above average vocabulary, but for the most part I stick with words most people know and use. It would defeat the purpose in my role as a communicator to use words only Mensa members know the meaning of without using Google search. Yes, I said Google search. It’s a lot

COLUMBUS – The Ohio Farm Bureau Federation (OFBF) is encouraging Ohioans to vote Yes on State Issue 1, Yes on State Issue 2 and No on State Issue 3. The state’s most inﬂuential farm and food organization will engage its grassroots membership in campaigns to inform voters about the three measures on the November ballot. Farm Bureau’s state trustees recently voted to support Issues 1 and 2; they previously announced their opposition to Issue 3. All three issues deal with amending the state constitution. The board action reﬂects organizational policy established by its voting delegates who represent all Ohio county Farm Bureaus. Issue 1 would change the process by which state legislative districts are drawn. Ohio Farm Bureau favors the change because it will establish a transparent process that encourages

wife’s mouth have nothing to do with technology. For no earthly reason, she will use the sufﬁx –icles at the end of the word. It drives me crazy. For example – That’s right, I always have an example. I’m not convinced my wife understands the word chest means both sides of the bosom. To make chest plural she adds icles to the end – chesticles. Maybe it’s not the word that is confusing her. Perhaps she is mixing up the anatomy. Whatever the reason may be, whenever she says it all I hear is the very squeaky dry erase marker on a whiteboard. Nope, I still don’t like that analogy. I can’t completely blame her for the made up language she uses. Her mom does the same thing. It’s even worse when her mom (my mother-in-law) confuses real words with the made up words that have become part of our language. We had a Labor Day get together and she began to demonstrate how to, as she put it, tweak. Af-

ter we picked ourselves up off the floor from laughing so hard, we explained to her the made up word she was looking for was twerk. We all came to the conclusion she really needs to tweak her twerk. There is only one made up word I like and use. I love the word ginormous. Whoever thought of combining giant and enormous really knew how to express him- or herself. Not only does it give you the impression that something is really, really big, it is also fun to say. Say it with me – GI-NOR-MOUS. The newest made up word I might learn to like – fleek. I’ll use it in a sentence. This column was on fleek. It originally referred to someone’s eyebrows being perfectly done. It has evolved to mean that something is “on point.” My oldest daughter recently posted a picture after she made herself up as a clown. She wrote, “When your clown makeup is on fleek.” My wife responded, “On fleek or on freak?”

quicker than using a dictionary. With that preface to this column (preface: an introduction to a book, typically stating its subject, scope, or aims – that was for our non Mensa audience), I have to admit I’m not a big fan of made up words. I’ve heard the argument if you use a made up word three times it becomes a real world. No it doesn’t. It just means you need to expand your vocabulary. Fake words grate on me like ﬁngernails on a chalkboard. That’s an analogy we can no longer use. Let’s try this one instead – fake words grate on me like a really squeaky dry erase marker on a whiteboard. Not only has technology introduced new words, it has taken away our best analogies. While I can understand the introduction of new words because of technology (i.e. megabyte, gigabyte, kryptonite – I was just seeing if you were paying attention), some of the words that spew out of my

public input and bipartisan support for newly drawn districts and requires districts to be drawn to keep counties, municipalities and townships as intact as possible. It also promotes a more civil political process by making elections more competitive and encouraging candidates to appeal to a broader base of voters. Issue 2 would limit the ability for wealthy special interests to manipulate the state constitution to create a monopoly, grant a commercial right or specify a tax rate for a person or group of persons. Ohio Farm Bureau believes the state constitution should be reserved for outlining speciﬁc freedoms and describing how Ohioans govern themselves.

Issue 3 would grant a small group of investors a monopoly on the commercial growing and selling of marijuana. The investors would proﬁt from an industry estimated to be worth more than $1 billion. In July, Ohio Farm Bureau was among the ﬁrst statewide groups to oppose its passage saying that the measure distorts Ohio’s Constitution, creates a monopoly that excludes average Ohioans and puts the state at odds with federal law. OFBF members will receive background and analysis of the issues in the organization’s publications, websites, e-newsletters, social media and its weekly public affairs radio program. Additional

information will be shared at county Farm Bureau meetings and other events throughout the state. Members will be provided yard and farm signs, literature and other campaign tools. Farm Bureau also is working with several coalitions of community, business, health and church organizations that share OFBF’s positions.

Love and Respect Conference nearing GREENVILLE – Someone who only speaks German cannot communicate with someone who only speaks Spanish. Each needs to learn the other’s vocabulary. Communication can only happen when there is mutual understanding. Dr. Emerson and Sarah Eggerichs present the Love and Respect Marriage Conference – a dynamic, high energy, practical seminar designed to help couples and singles achieve the re-

lationship of their dreams. Communication is not the key to marriage. Mutual understanding is the key to a successful marriage. Based on Ephesians 5:33, wives speak the language of love and husbands speak the language of respect. When the husband speaks love to his wife and the wife speaks respect to her husband, they understand each other and communication follows.

First Presbyterian awarded $50k grant GREENVILLE – First Presbyterian Church, Greenville, has received a grant of $50,000 to enable its minister, the Rev. Dr. John M. Person, to participate in the 2015 National Clergy Renewal Program. First Presbyterian is one of 144 congregations across the country selected to participate in this competitive grant program, which is funded by Lilly Endowment Inc. and administered by Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis. The program’s grants allow Christian congregations to support their pastors with the gift of extended time away from their ministerial duties and responsibilities. Ministers whose congregations are awarded the grants use their time away from the demands of daily ministry to engage in reﬂection and renewal. This approach respects the “Sabbath time” concept, offering ministers a carefully considered respite that may include travel, study, rest, immersive arts and cultural experiences and prayer. Through the National Clergy Renewal Program,

$3 OFF

congregations apply for grants of up to $50,000 to support renewal programs for their pastors. Collaborative in nature and implementation, the program allows congregations to partner with their ministers in developing an experience that addresses their unique renewal needs and aspirations. Recognizing that ministers’ families are subject to the stress and demands placed on pastoral leaders, the program encourages pastors to involve their families in renewal activities. Congregational needs during the minister’s renewal experience also are considered. Up to $15,000 of the grant may be used to support interim pastoral leadership during the pastor’s retreat, as well as renewal activities within the congregation. The image that was chosen for both the congregational and pastoral renewal at First Presbyterian Church, Greenville, was from Psalm 1, “Trees planted by streams of water which yield their fruit in its season.” Pastor John Person says, “We want to be that growing, healthy and mature tree. To build

on to what we already are as a congregation, we will develop mission strategies to understand our changing community, to adapt our ministry to be responsive to those changes, and to equip our members to be lay ministers in the community.” Several aspects will be part of the congregation’s renewal initiative. Some of the activities planned include study on spiritual disciplines, educational classes on the spiritual gifts, worship services led by laity, use of drama to visualize local church history, and more. John Person will also experience a time of Sabbath and renewal through travel, reﬂection, rest and various cultural experiences. He plans a time of decompression during a personal spiritual retreat of prayer, study and reﬂection and trips to his ethnic heritage of Sweden and Norway are also in the mix. He and his wife will also take a reformation tour of Germany, France and Switzerland, following the footsteps of Luther, Calvin, and the other reformers. LIKE US ON FACEBOOK

Family Health donations helps Honduras medical clinic GREENVILLE - Thanks to a generous donation by Family Health in Greenville, Ohio, more than $100,000 worth of medical equipment will soon be on its way to Honduras. The equipment is being shipped to the clinic at Iglesia Bautista Betania (Bethany Baptist Church) in Siguatepeque, Honduras. The project was orchestrated by Dr. Robb Kensinger who used to work for Family Health in Greenville and is now living in Honduras, along with his wife and son, as missionaries. Kensinger teaches at MEDA (Ministerios Evangelicos de Las Americans) and has been instrumental in the building of the Betania Clinic. Prior to arriving on the mission ﬁeld, Dr. Kensinger was an elder at Bible Fellowship Church in Greenville, which is his home church. Family Health has donated exam tables, exam room cupboards and sinks, waiting room chairs and a host of other supplies. The clinic ministry at Betania has been a blessing to the surrounding community and beyond

for more than 10 years, and it functions completely on donations. Its primary purpose is to share the compassion of Jesus Christ as a means to communicate the Gospel and the truth of God’s word. Kensinger and others are presently working to enhance this ministry with a better building and better facilities and equipment, and now the Lord has provided exactly what was needed for the interior exam rooms at just the right time. Kensinger said, “We are indebted to the many groups from the U.S. who have come to help build this

facility or who have donated to help our church hire Honduran workers to assist in the construction.” At this time, there is a need to raise approximately $10,000 so that the equipment can be shipped to Honduras. If you would be interested in helping to ship the equipment, you can send a check to Grace Global Ministries, P.O. Box 12, Cedarville, Ohio, 45314. (Please write “Medical Equipment – Kensinger” on your check to facilitate your donation in getting to the proper account.) All donations are tax exempt.

All-star tournament winners presented with AED devices BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY, Ind. - The Dylan Williams Forever An All-Star Foundation presented the winners of the annual memorial tournament Tuesday evening with their own Automated External Defibrillator (AED). As part of the presentation, an AED specialist from the device manufacturer, Cardiac Science, went through a step-by-step instruction of how to use the device properly in case of an emergency situation. The teams presented with an AED were Selma 12U, Russia 10U and the Celina 8U all-stars. Each of the teams finished first in their age bracket at the 2nd Annual Dylan Williams Memorial Baseball Invitational held in July in Union City, Ind. Thirty-five teams competed in the tournament to raise awareness for the need of AED at youth ballparks. The Selma 12U team elected to donate their de-

vice to the Wapahani girls softball diamonds in Selma, Ind. since they have received an AED prior to the tournament. Dylan “Dilly” Williams died after being struck by a baseball in the neck during all-star practice in the summer of 2013. Since then, Dilly’s family and close supporters have made it their mission to equip as many little league sports complexes, schools and facilities where young children gather with the live saving device. To-date the Dylan Williams Forever An All-Star Foundation has donated nearly 55 AED’s and will continue to do so year after year according to Dylan’s parents, Erick and Georgiana Williams.

Lady Wave volleyball falls to Lebanon BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Lady Wave volleyball team struggled against Lebanon losing 3-0. “They are a class team,” said Greenville Coach Lori Davis. “We knew coming in that they were powerful.” Lebanon opened play 3-0 before the Lady Wave scored to trail by one at 4-3. The Warriors doubled the score at 10-5 followed with Greenville cutting the visitor’s lead to 10-8. Four straight Lebanon points put some distance between the teams at 14-8 but it was the Lady Wave working their way back to trail 15-11 before the Warriors ran off ﬁve straight points to lead 20-11 and win the ﬁrst set 25-13. “This game is such an emotional game,” stated Davis. “If you can keep 425 Memorial Dr. Greenville, OH 45331

yourselves up the play is always going to be better.” The second set had the Wave looking at a 3-0 disadvantage before outscoring the visitors 6-3 to even the score at 6-6. Leading 10-9, Lebanon would put nine straight points on the board to put the game away and win the second set 25-16. “We got blocks at the net which we haven’t done before,” Davis said. “Our middle sped up their blocking speed so much it made a huge difference and we reacted.” The Lady Warriors raced out to an 11-0 lead in the third and ﬁnal set of the night before the Wave would dent the board with Lebanon taking set three 25-7. “We had mental stuff kind of going on in the third game but we came out and gave it everything we had,” said Davis.

Husband and wife team, Phillip and Jodi Pierri share the duties

of race directors and are credited with starting the organization to raise funds for community projects. “The ﬁrst project we did was to put speakers downtown Broadway,” said Phillip Pierri. “Our main and big project is going to hopefully be a splash pad/park area in downtown Greenville.” In just its second year, the Festival of Races has grown into a major local event with 500 runners and 125 volunteers. “The city street department, police department, rescue squad, ﬁre department, Mike Bowers, Curt Garrison, Chad Henry all those guys, everybody… it takes a lot of people,” stated Pierri. Pierri was also quick to give thanks to the many volunteers that helped to make the event a huge success. “To Steve Wenning who takes care of the rescue squad, Scott Drew took care of the police department, the 125 plus volunteers out here… we couldn’t do it without them.

GREENVILLE – The Green Wave 8th grade football team avenged a 2014 four point loss to the Miamisburg Vikings on a last second touchdown by defeating the visitors 27-8 on the Wave’s home field. “The four point last second loss last year at Miamisburg left a bad taste in their mouths,” said Greenville Coach Josh Gilmore. “The boys remembered that and they came out ready to play.” Greenville held the Vikings scoreless before giving up a late touchdown and two point conversion with under a minute to play as Coach Gilmore emptied his bench. Speedster Marcus Wood set the tone for the night taking the handoff from Greenville quarterback Tyler Beyke and sprinting 65 yards on the first play of the game to give the 8th graders a 6-0 lead. “It isn’t often you get to coach a kid with a talent like Marcus (Wood),” Gilmore stated. “He is an outstanding runner with unbelievable natural moves on the field.” An Ethan Flanery PAT

kick splitting the uprights had the Wave leading 7-0 with just 17 ticks off the game clock. Greenville would add to its lead at 4:12 in the second period on a one yard TD plunge from running back Tony Sells followed by a Flanery PAT kick good for a 14-0 advantage that would stand at the halftime break. Miamisburg would cough up the football on the ﬁrst series of downs starting second half play turning the ball over to the Green Wave on their own 38 yard line. It was déjà vu “all over again” as Wood would haul in a pass from Beyke and race 62 yards for a Greenville score on the Wave’s ﬁrst play of the half to lead the Vikings 20-0. With Tytan Grote getting the snap down perfectly, Flanery once again drilled the PAT kick through the posts upping the Green Wave’s lead to 21-0 over a stunned Vikings team where the score would stand after three complete. “Flanery is an excellent kicker,” said Gilmore, “because he works at it all the time.” Greenville would continue to play stellar defense with multiple quarterback sacks on the night.

“Our defense came up big tonight holding Miamisburg scoreless until late in the game,” Gilmore said. “Our kids were really getting to the quarterback tonight.” The 8th graders would ﬁnd the end zone one more time at 4:53 on the fourth quarter clock with Beyke slinging a 38 yard strike over the middle to a wide open Andrew Cates for a Greenville touchdown and a 27-0 score. “Beyke sees the ﬁeld,” said Gilmore. “Knows when to pass and when to hang onto the ball. He’s a good leader.” Miamisburg would dent the scoreboard with under a minute to play in the game as Gilmore gave his reserve players

well deserved playing time on the ﬁeld. With the Vikings making good on a two point conversion the score stood a 27-8 with Greenville taking a knee to run out the game clock. “The whole team stepped up and played tonight,” said Gilmore not wanting to leave anyone out. “The good thing about these eighth graders… they will be high school freshmen next year.” The Greenville 7th grade play at home against the Wayne Warriors next Wednesday, September 16 while the 8th grade football team travels to Wayne on the 16th with a 5:30 p.m. start time for both squads.

Young Patriots lose in ﬁnal minute to Dayton Christian BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

NEW MADISON – It was a defensive battle as the Tri-Village middle school football team welcomed Dayton Christian Tuesday afternoon. Trailing by six, the young Patriots put the ball in the endzone to go into halftime with a 6-6

tie ballgame. Both teams fought back and forth until Dayton Christian scored the winning touchdown after completing a long pass with just a minute to go in the game. TV lost by a ﬁnal score of 12-6. The Patriots look to bounce back as they head to Bradford for a 5 p.m. kick-off on Tuesday.

GREENVILLE – Greenville was host to the Greenville Treaty City Invitational cross country meet Saturday morning in the city park. “This is a nice day… we are very blessed with a cool morning,” said Greenville Cross Country Coach Stephanie Lind. “This is a family. Everybody is out cheering on the kids. We have little kids running around watching the big kids. It’s a very nice event for the family.” “We love hosting Treaty,” continued Lind. “It’s one of their favorite things the kids do. They come and decorate the hill. They are proud of their home course and their home community. It’s fun.” Teams from Ansonia, Bradford, Franklin Monroe, Greenville, Mississinawa Valley and Versailles competed in the invitational as well teams from though out western Ohio including Division I, II and III teams.

It’s a great day out here. Ed Porter and the Greenville Cross Country team always put together a wonderful event.” “It’s just good to see all the kids out here trying their hardest,” added Warner. “I think its good not only for the school but also for the community.” Joe Spitzer led the Versailles boys to the Division II Treaty City championship. The new Green Wave cannon was on hand to start

each race of the day. “We are so glad to have the new cannon,” said Coach Lind. “It sounds pretty good,” said Westfall. “I was amazed. It amazes me… it scares me every time and I’ve been through hundreds of races out here.” “The Greenville city schools and the Greenville athletic department is happy to have the cannon back in operation,” said Greenville Superintendent of Schools Doug Fries. “It’s a tradition of Greenville city schools to operate the cannon and we’re happy that we have it.” For complete results of the Greenville Treaty City Invitational visit www.alliancerunning.com.

Treaty City Invitational. “This is one of the biggest traditional events that we have had,” said Westfall. “This is just a great event… social day for the families. With cross country everybody gets to start… everybody gets to finish. Families are close. It’s just a great day. We have dogs out here walking around, grandpas and grandmas… what a great day for Greenville sports.” Volunteering for his 16th season working the finish line was Greenville head track coach Bill Plessinger. “I love coming here and seeing the kids run,” said Plessinger. “It’s a great day… I love the meet.” The Versailles boys cross country team took first place in the Division II by defeating Coldwater, Madeira and Tippecanoe. “This is too much fun to stay at home and not participate,” said Darke County Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein. “It takes help to make the event go. It is well organized. It’s a good event for the kids. Great fun for the parents and if you like running this is the place where you can get involved.” Also lending a hand and no stranger to the event

GREENVILLE – The Arcanum Lady Trojans volleyball team made an early season bus ride to Greenville to take on the Lady Wave and came away with an impressive 3-0 win. “We played fundamentally sound,” said Arcanum Coach Terri Day. “When you get the passes up you can run about anything. Hitters were on and setters were on. It’s nice when everybody is on at the same time.” “These games are tough coming in,” said Greenville Coach Lori Davis. “Our girls are working really hard to get a lot of the basics down. They have plays that they want to run and when we’re out of system it just kind of knocks them for a loop for about three or four points… then we get back in it. We’re working real hard on getting back to the basics.” Greenville jumped out to a 1-0 lead in game one but it was all Trojans as the

girls from Arcanum used runs of 4-0, 5-0 and 8-0 to take game one 25-10. “I think we are doing great,” said Day. “It was nice that they came out strong from the start tonight. Sometimes we get a slow start but tonight they were on from the start.” “That seems to be a trend with us when I say we are a slow start team,” Davis said. “We are trying to build their confidence. The more game play they get the more confidence they get and the more assured they get in the way that they approach the ball.” The Lady Wave once again took a 1-0 lead only to have Arcanum put together runs of 6-0 and 8-0 to win game two 25-13. The young Greenville girl’s squad was quickly looking at a 14-6 deficit in game three before outscoring the Trojans 9-3 cutting the visitor’s lead to 17-15. “Cassie’s defense in the back is amazing,” said Davis. “I had a couple young kiddos from JV step up to

help us on defense. Tonight they did a great job stepping in on the court. They haven’t had a lot of play time but they come in and do their job. That was really nice to see.” The Lady Trojans quickly righted the ship outscoring the Lady Wave 8-2 to take game three 25-17 and gain a 3-0 win. “Between Annie Ketring and Lucy Shannon… they both ran up some points while serving,” Day said. “That’s what you got to have.”

Elle Siculan led the Lady Trojans with nine assists, Shai Robinson led with 11kills followed with ﬁve Rebecca Deao kills. Emily Miller led Arcanum with nine receives and nine digs on the night. Emily Miller, between her digs and her receives, she is just so fundamental back there,” said Day. “Always passing the ball up there where it needs to be. “Serving across the board,” added Day, “everybody was strong serving.”

Jr. Naturalists learn about mammals

GREENVILLE – Darke County Parks Naturalist Hannah Linebaugh invites students in grades 3-6 to join her for the September Jr. Naturalists program on Sept. 19, 2-4 p.m. at Shawnee Prairie Preserve on St. Rt. 502 west of Greenville. Please note the special time differs from usual. The Jr. Naturalists program is a series of monthly programs designed to give students a hands-on introduction to natural resource management. Hikes, work projects, and independent study are all part of this fun-ﬁlled nature study club. The September program will feature mammals. While we may not often get to see many wild mammals, we can ﬁnd clues to their behavior. They will look for signs,

examine furs, bones, and droppings as they go wild about mammals. A fee of $3 is charged for the program, and preregistration is required. For any questions about the Jr. Naturalists program or any other Park District programs or to register for the September class, call 548-0165 or email Hannah Linebaugh at hlinebaugh@ darkecountyparks.org.

Oakley Place recognizes start of National Assisted Living Week CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Oakley Place in Greenville recognized Sunday’s kickoff of National Assisted Living Week with an early celebration event Sept. 10.

Edison DCC Dean outlines future for the campus BOB ROBINSON

ASSOCIATE EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – “There are tons of opportunities with businesses expanding in Darke County,” said Edison Darke County Campus Dean Chad Beanblossom. While Workforce training and development is just one area of focus of the campus, Beanblossom anticipates it will likely provide the major growth opportunity in the next decade. Beanblossom talked to members and guests at the Sept. 9 meeting of Kiwanis of Greenville about his vision for the future as the recently appointed Dean of the campus. He was hired eight months earlier as its Executive Director, however his recent appointment as Dean means he works directly with the new President of Edison Community College, Dr. Doreen Larson. Larson has expressed interest in focusing more on the local campus. “We will continue to serve credit and degreeseeking students as we have in the past,” he said. “Workforce training and development has not been a focus before but will be now.” He noted these typically won’t be degree programs; their goal will be more for training than credit. Anticipated ﬁelds of interest in Darke County would be manufacturing, health care and agriculture. In another area, high school student enrollment has more than doubled, jumping to 400 students with 2,456 credits thanks to the new state-mandated College Credit Plus program. This is compared to 181 students for 1,464 credits under the previous

PSEOP program. CCP also expands the grade levels for participation. PSEOP students were typically juniors and seniors. Under CCP, enrollment can include freshmen and sophomores. It even allows for 7th and 8th grade students, although social skills at the college level could be an issue. The classes are free to the students with college tuition coming out of the state distribution of funds to the school district. Beanblossom noted the traditional student coming directly from high school to get an associate’s degree or two years credit before moving to a 4-year college may decrease slightly over time. “The student will be able to take all needed classes through CCP,” he said, adding that even under PSEOP Edison had students getting their associates degrees before graduating high school. “We will also continue to serve the adult student who returns after an absence from education,” he said. These students want to pursue opportunities for advancement or maybe a career change. Finally, Beanblossom wants to create a recognizable brand for Edison Darke County Campus… “Promoting who we are.” He included building lasting relationships with local communities, upgrading the facility, partnerships with local entities and developing an identity through the web, social media, print and advertising. Partnerships are already working with Greenville’s Career Tech program, the Ohio Department of Job & Family Services, Adult Basic Literacy Program (GEDs) and the Board of Developmental Disabilities.

DARKE COUNTY – “I miss my best friend and just want him back,” Margaret “Peg” Lange said about her lost dog “Moe”who has been missing since Aug. 24 in Greenville. The 8-year-old Sheltie was with Lange at The Great Darke County Fair to take part in an agility demonstration with the Greenville Area Dog Club. According to Lange, Moe escaped from his crate that was in her vehicle when it accidentally was unzipped. After a frantic search for the lost dog, Lange had no choice but to return home and hope someone would spot him. Since that day, the Lange family and volunteers have searched for Moe daily and have posted reward ﬂiers all over the Greenville

area. Though several calls have come in claiming to have spotted Moe… they have turned out to be false alarms. The family remains conﬁdent that someone will see him and there will soon be a happy reunion. Moe is 25 pounds and is tan, white and black (looks like a little Lassie dog). He has several unique characteristics, including a left eye that appears to have a tear in it – due to a tear duct problem. The family asks that anyone that may see him take a photo and call them right away… don’t try and chase or catch him. “I cry all the time,” Peg Lange told The Early Bird. “I know he is out there and is scared!” The Lange’s have lived in New Bremen for past two years. Peg and her husband Gary have two grown children. Aside from Moe, they own four other Sheltie dogs – Middy, Max-

well, Mader and Melanie. They are members of several area clubs, in addition to the Greenville Area Dog Club. Moe is an agility champion and is registered with the AKC and CPE organizations.

If you have any information or think you have seen Moe, you are urged to call 419-305-8003. A $1,000 reward is available for anyone with information that leads to his safe return.

DAR helps local vets visit Washington, DC RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Two Darke County residents and a former resident of the county will be among the 100 plus persons that will board buses in Shelby County to visit Washington, DC on Sept. 18-20. The purpose of the visit is to allow veterans that have never seen the war memorials an opportunity to visit, remember and reﬂect. Local persons taking part in the trip are John Berger, of Versailles, Korean War veteran; Richard Grow, Jr., of Ansonia, Vietnam veteran; and former resident George Monnier, WWII veteran. According to Shelby County Co-Chairman Mike Bennett, this trip is an offshoot of the Honor Flight. The Honor Flight trips are one-day trips that include a ﬂight to Washington, DC and quick trips to the mon-

uments. This program uses a bus instead of plane and gives the veterans more time to visit the monuments and additional sites are on the tour. This will be the Shelby County group’s 11th trip. Bennett said his group puts together one trip a year. Over the past 10 years they have taken nearly 1,100 people. As it is with the Honor Flight, there is no cost to the veterans. If a caregiver wants to go, their cost is only $250. Bennett pointed out they have done a great job of saturating Shelby County with the program, which is why they have been able to open it other counties. He noted Shelby County veterans have priority, but when additional seats are available they can open it up to others. The only other requirement is this must be the ﬁrst trip the veteran has taken to Washington, DC to visit the monuments.

Helen Wright, DAR historian; Richard Grow, Jr., veteran; Mike Bennett, Shelby County co-chairman; and Chris Nehring, DAR veterans committee chairman announced the donation and trip local veterans will be taking. (Ryan Berry photo)

Grow said he is excited to ﬁnally get the opportunity to visit the Vietnam Wall. The Ansonia resident served from 1970-1972 and was fortunate to come away from the war without injury. However, he did lose one person from his company. Grow isn’t the only member of his family to serve during war time. His father served during World War II and was at the Battle of the Bulge. His

father was wounded during the war. The Fort Greene Ville Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) recently presented a $300 donation to help fund the visits of the Darke County veterans. Chris Nehring, veteran’s committee chairman, said DAR raises money every year and looks for ways they can help veterans.

Heat is no problem for Woodland students BOB ROBINSON

ASSOCIATE EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – “Kids deal with these things better than adults,” said Woodland Heights Assistant Principal Jennifer Statzer. Principal Jody Harter agreed. “Those kids are resilient. Doesn’t phase them.” Darke County has had 90-plus degree weather since the end of August. Sept. 8 was Day 4 of the new Greenville City School year. “The teachers take a lot of water breaks… kids have water bottles,” Harter said. Some rooms have air conditioning; the rest have fans. Statzer noted some teachers give their kids popsicles. It was mid-afternoon and at one end of the building a number of teachers were taking their classes to restroom and water breaks. Mrs. Ernst’s kindergarten class was heading back to the classroom

after its break while Mrs. Ruhenkamp’s ﬁrst grade was heading out for one. Miss Hiatt’s kindergarten class was right behind. The children stood in line for the water fountains and to ﬁll water bottles. Students still get their recesses with only one change. “This year the main recess is before lunch instead of after,” Statzer said. “It gives kids a chance to come in and cool down before heading to the cafeteria.” Teachers will often turn off the lights and have students put their heads down to rest when they come in from outside, she added. “There have been no heat related issues,” she said. Both Harter and Statzer are new to their positions but not to Woodland Heights. Harter was Assistant Principal in 2014-15 to Jeffrey Cassel, who moved to Greenville High School as principal. Statzer was a second grade teacher be-

fore being hired as Assistant Principal. “We’re off to a fantastic start,” Harter said. “It’s been great.” She noted this was the first year all kindergarten classes (there are nine of them) started Day 1. In the past the first day for kindergarten classes were staggered. “It worked out well,” she said. “The teachers worked hard to plan for (first day) full

enrollment; also we had a lot of volunteers.” Statzer was also enjoying her new position. “I’m looking forward to getting to know all the students and their families.” Adding she’s working with a great teammate (Harter), she said “I’m truly blessed.” And their thoughts about next year? “We’re on a countdown to the new building,” Harter said.

Harvest Blessings Open House slated

Darke County Health Fair Committee Members are Cindy Scott, Shelly Acker, Sharon Warren, Jim Beyke, Carol Fourman, Jennifer Barga, Steve Wenning, Sara Seger, Terri Flood, Jordan Francis and Kelly Sanning.

Step up to Wellness at Health Fair GREENVILLE – The Darke County Health Fair Committee is excited to announce the upcoming “Step up To Wellness”, Darke County Health Fair. The 41st annual Darke County Health Fair will be Oct. 13, in the Youth Building at Darke County Fairgrounds on State Route 49, Greenville. Hours will be from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The 2015 Health Fair, open to people of all ages, will feature over 60 different displays and many free health screenings. Attendees are welcome to walk through an inflatable colon, play BINGO and have a chance to win Darke County Chamber Bucks and other door prizes! The main attraction will be a large inflatable “WalkThru” colon. It is 40 feet long, 25 feet wide and 17 feet high. Dr. John Dutro and Dr. David Ware will be available to discuss the importance of colon cancer screenings and answer questions. As always, the health fair will be offering several tests: Wellness Panel, $50; TSH, $35; PSA, $40; Vitamin D, $ 45; Flu Shots, $30; and Mammograms $184. Chair massages and reflexology will be available. Free health checks include blood pressure, diabetes screening, visual acuity, height and weight, abnormalities in urine, nutrition screening, hearing tests, spinal-postural analysis, chair massages, fall-risk assessments and bone density. The Wellness Panel includes 14 Chemistry tests checking a wide variety of systems (ex. Fasting glucose for diabetes, tests to screen for renal & liver disease, bone health, etc.) plus a Lipid Panel (to evaluate hyperlipidemia as an index to coronary artery disease.). Fasting is preferred, but not mandatory. Vitamin D is available for testing this year. It is a test to screen for Vitamin D deficiency, a very common deficiency in the American population. Vitamin D plays an integral role in bone health and decreasing the risks for colorectal cancer, breast cancer and autoimmune diseases. The Health Fair is again offering the Hemoglobin A1c and CBC (Complete Blood Count). The Hemoglobin A1c is a test to access glucose control in dia-

betics. A1c is frequently used in conjunction with glucose fasting to diagnose diabetes. The A1c is $30. Complete Blood Count (CBC or Hemogram) is a test to evaluate overall health and detect a wide range of hematologic disorders including anemia. This test includes White and Red Cell counts, Hemoglobin and Hematocrit and Platelet count. The CBC is $25. Flu Shots will be available to anyone six months and older. The Health Department will accept most insurance plans including Anthem, Medical Mutual United Health Care, Medicaid, and Medicare Part B. If paying cash, the cost is $30. The flu vaccine will be the Quadrivalent Vaccine. There are different types available this year. The quadrivalent flu vaccine provides improved coverage and is designed to protect against four different flu viruses; two influenza A viruses and two influenza B viruses. For transportation, call 547-1811 (outside of Greenville with 24-hr notice).

Oven and sorghum press new to festival GREENVILLE – The 2015 Prairie Days will feature two new demonstrations. First, volunteers will be demonstrating how pioneers would have made homemade bread in the outdoor bake oven, also known as the cob oven. The oven construction was completed during the summer of 2014 and is located near the northwest corner of the log house. Volunteers will build a ﬁre in the oven to heat it, then remove the coals and sprinkle cornmeal

on the oven surface to prevent sticking. The bread dough, cookies, or any other baked goods can then be prepared before the oven cools down again. The public will have the opportunity to try samples of white bread, wheat bread, or ginger molasses cookies; all prepared in the oven at Shawnee Prairie. The full loaves of bread and cookies will be available for a donation during Prairie Days in the General Store. Also new this year

are the sorghum pressing and boiling demonstrations. Journey to the top of the hill to witness stalks of sorghum grown in Darke County pressed to release their sweet juice. There will be two presses from the late 19th century in operation for the weekend. One is owned by the Park District and was restored by park volunteer Jim Poeppleman of Versailles. The other is on loan from Ted Abney, owner of The Bistro off Broadway in

Greenville. After capturing the sweet liquid from pressing the stalks, volunteers will boil it down similarly to making maple syrup. The processed sorghum, also known as sorghum molasses, will be available for a donation while supplies last. The Park District is still in search of mules or horses to power the sorghum press. They will need their own harness and will need to be accustomed to work and crowds. If you are interested in us-

ing your horses or mules to help power the press, please contact Roger Van Frank, director of the Darke County Park District at 548-0165 or director@darkecountyparks.org. Come check out both of these demonstrations and the fun activities at the 2015 Prairie Days festival, Sept. 26, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sept. 27, from noon to 5 p.m. The event has free parking and free admission. For more info, call the Nature Center at 548-0165.

Foreign film viewed at library’s screening GREENVILLE – In September the Greenville Public Library’s Third Floor Film Series will be screening In the Mood for Love, Hong Kong director Wong KarWai’s masterpiece from 2000. This will be the most recent film they’ve shown as part of this series, and also the first foreign language film they have watched so far. Maggie Cheung

and Tony Leung play two individuals in 1960s Hong Kong who discover their spouses are having an affair. As they spend time together trying to process through the emotional ramiﬁcations of this discovery they form their own bond. They are torn between a desire to ﬁnd comfort and connection in each other’s arms and a reluctance to commit the same wrongs their

spouses have committed. The film is a visually stunning exploration of love, loyalty, and honor, with gorgeous photography and a beautiful musical score.” Join them Sept. 24, 7 p.m., as they screen this lovely film. Coffee, soft drinks, candy, and popcorn will be available free of charge, and David Nilsen will be leading a brief discussion after the film.

House and shop take lead at Prairie Days

GREENVILLE – Prairie Days will be a ﬂurry of activity at the Log House and Blacksmith shop at Shawnee Prairie Preserve. Not only will they both be open, as they are almost every Saturday from 1-4 p.m., but they will also both be housing all kinds of demonstrations. The log house was built from 2003 to 2006 and is based on a 17951825 log home. It opened at the 2006 Prairie Days, which makes 2015 the 10th anniversary of the Log House at the festival. It was then and still is a work in progress as it grows in volunteers and items donated every year to support the speciﬁc theme and time period. At Prairie Days this year, the Log House will feature quilting, weaving, spinning, and knitting demonstrations. The Blacksmith’s shop opened in 2013 and features a working forge, bellows, and tool display accommodating almost any project a blacksmith had to

tackle. Like the Log House, community support played a huge role in its inception. It was built with volunteer labor and donated logs, and the tools, benches, and bellows were provided through donations. A blacksmith was essential to any community as he made everything from the heaviest axle and tire to the smallest rivet in a wagon. From the weather vane to the butcher knife, the blacksmith touched almost every aspect of life. Hank Steinmetz, master blacksmith, of Blacksmoke Forge will be working in the Blacksmith’s Shop throughout the weekend as will many other volunteers. Visitors will

see all types of skills demonstrated and see useful everyday items like “S” hooks and stick and tommys forged. Follow the sound of hammers ringing off the anvil to learn more about one of the most essential trades for hundreds of years. Come explore all these demonstrations, talk with the historical interpreters, and enjoy all the other fun, educational, and family friendly activities at the 2015 Prairie Days festival, Sept. 26 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sept. 27, from noon to 5 p.m. The event has plenty of free parking and free admission.

you miss the Sept. 22 deadline to turn in your soil sample, no refunds will be issued. Space is limited for the $5 reducedrate soil sample cost. This work-

shop series is a collaborative effort of Darke SWCD and the City of Greenville. Call Darke SWCD at 548-1752 or visit www.darkeswcd. com, to register.

Soil Sampling available at SWCD GREENVILLE – Thanks to a Top of Ohio RC&D grant, Darke SWCD is offering a reducedrate soil sample analysis for $5 (limit one per household at the reduced rate). There are ﬁve important reasons to test your soil. * Know your soil. Soil testing is an important diagnostic tool to evaluate nutrient imbalances and understand plant growth. * Understand. The most important reason to soil test is to have a basis for intelligent application of fertilizer and lime or sulfur. * pH Testing allows homeowners to adjust soil pH to the optimum range (6.0-7.0), which makes nutrients more readily available for plant growth. * Protection of our environment. Avoid contaminants that can enter our surface and ground waters by over-application of phosphorus or nitrogen fertilizers. * Cost savings. Why purchase and apply what you don’t need? Soil test results provide information about the soil’s ability to supply nutrients to plants for adequate growth and are the basis of deciding how much lime or sulfur and fertilizer are needed. Fall is one of the best times to test your soil. This opportunity also allows participants the chance to walk through their soil analysis report at a one-hour workshop on Sept. 30, at Shawnee Prairie, 7-8 p.m. At this workshop, Kevin Otte will go over the soil report and discuss the important nutrients and rang-

es to look for. Darke SWCD will touch upon cover crops in your garden to help improve soil health and replenish nutrients for the next growing season. Stop in at the Darke SWCD ofﬁce or visit www.darkeswcd.com to pick up some tips for pulling a representative soil sample. Here are a few quick tips when pulling soil samples. * Remove the top debris from the soil surface before taking the sample. * Pull samples at a depth of 6-8 inches. * Collect at least 15 samples covering the entire sampling area. * Once samples are collected, break up lumps and air dry sample at room temperature. * When soil is dry, mix well and place in paper bag. There is a limit of one (1) reduced-

rate sample per household. Participants will be able to turn in more than one soil sample at cost, contact the Darke SWCD ofﬁce for pricing. All sales are ﬁnal; if
