Phone scams in Darke County GREENVILLE – The Darke County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce has received numerous reports in the past few days from citizens who have received calls from individuals stating that they are from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The caller further states that if the party hangs up a Sheriff’s Deputy will respond to the person’s house and arrest them. Sheriff Spencer says this is nothing more than a scam and is warning citizens against giving the caller any personal information. The best recourse is to simply and politely hang up on the caller, or do not answer the call if you have caller I.D. and do not recognize the number, especially if the number is an out of state number. If you have given any

personal information such as Social Security Number, bank account or credit card numbers to the caller, Sheriff Spencer recommends that you contact your bank or credit card company and monitor your credit accounts. If you have been scammed out of money, call the Darke County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce at 5482020 to make a report. For more information, visit the Darke County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce online at www.DarkeCountySheriff.org or www.Facebook. com/DarkeCountySheriff. Information regarding phone scams is also available through the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) website at http:// www.consumer.ftc.gov/ articles/0076-phonescams.

GJH conducts 13th annual 9-11 ceremony GREENV I L L E – “Thirteen years ago our lives were BOB ROBINSON changed Associate Editor forever…” bluebagmedia.com Greenville Junior High School Principal Chris Mortenson addressed nearly 400 students, plus teachers, observers and ﬁrst responders. It was Sept. 11, 2014. He was talking about the horriﬁc event that took place on the same date in 2001… the destruction of the World Trade Towers in New York City by Al Qaeda operatives. He talked of the heroism… “Ordinary people changed our concept of what constitutes a hero.” And he talked of the reason students were standing in the junior high parking lot on a chilly morning in September… “On Sept. 11 we observe Patriots Day to remember the lives lost and the

impact on their families, and on our country.” The governor of Ohio has ordered all flags on state and local government properties fly at half-mast. Mortenson then turned the event over to the Greenville High School Navy Junior ROTC team which performed a drill, then lowered the flag to halfmast. The ceremony was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, then the featured speaker, Thomas Pitman of the Darke County Veterans Services Office. “I struggled with how to talk with you about this,” Pitman said. “How do I talk to you? Most of you weren’t born when this happened…” He told the students he was stationed in Alaska at the time. Alaska is four hours behind the East Coast; 8:46 a.m. Eastern is 4:46 a.m. in Alaska. He was awakened by his fatherin-law, who told him to turn on the television.

Greenville Junior High special education students made brownies with red, white and blue chocolate frosting, which they presented with gratitude to local first responders. (Bob Robinson photo)

“We stood in shock as we watched the airliners crash into the towers.” Pitman told the students it was the worst attack on American soil in history, adding he later served in the Middle East. “I was there to do my part to ensure this never happened again.” The ceremony was concluded with students from the junior high special education class presenting gifts of gratitude

Students were focused on the events of 9-11 GREENV I L L E – “Pretty crazy,” said one student following BOB ROBINSON the just Associate Editor concluded bluebagmedia.com Sept. 11 Patriot’s Day memorial. Another said it was about remembering the people who had died… another: “I was feeling bad for all those people who lost their lives.” Eighteen Greenville Junior High student leaders, mostly members of the Student Council, met following the ceremony to share their views, and feelings. “I felt sad for everyone,” said a student. Several distinguished a deeper feeling for this event, which occurred before most of them were born, to a more detached feeling about an earlier attack – Pearl Harbor – from their history studies. On Sept. 10, the day before the memorial ser-

vice, students watched a video and had a class discussion with their teachers. Most, however, were already aware of the importance of Sept. 11. One student remembered a teacher from South School who told his class he was in New York at the time… “I saw it happen,” he said. Another said her dad was a pilot who had just landed at the airport – it was across from the Pentagon – he could see it… all ﬂights were grounded,” she said. Do we face similar dangers today? Three said no… the rest said yes! One student said America’s security efforts were much better today than they were then; the others, however, disagreed. “You never know what could happen,” said one. “There’s always some country that doesn’t like us.” Another… “It could just happen again. At any time!” Chris Mortenson, ju-

nior high principal, talked about student reaction to the video they’d shown. “The teachers said the kids were really focused… kids can ‘blow off’ something like that. Not this. They were focused.” Ginny Kagey, junior high secretary, said she really liked the event, especially when the ﬁre trucks raise their ﬂag (which they didn’t do this year). “I love our event!”

to local ﬁrst responders, including the Sheriff’s Ofﬁce, Police Department, Greenville Fire Department and other organizations. “The made brownies,” Mortenson said.

Both Kagey and Mortenson said they thought this might be the ﬁrst year where none of the students had been born when terrorists took the Twin Towers down.

cording to the report, Weatherspoon was on top of the victim, punching her repeatedly with closed fist. The victim had her arm up trying to protect her head and face. The officer pulled Weatherspoon from the vehicle; while exiting she took the victim’s iPhone. The victim yelled at her to give it back; the officer advised her to give it back; she threw it on the sidewalk causing it to shatter. Weatherspoon and the victim had been arguing at McDonalds Restaurant. The victim said she’d taken Weatherspoon to her residence then went to put gas in her vehicle. When she returned to pick up her brother, who was at that residence at the time, Weatherspoon ran out of the residence, entered her vehicle and began punching her.

and cussing and was warned for disorderly conduct. She continued being belligerent by yelling and screaming despite continued warnings. The officer arrested her for Domestic Violence and also cited her for Criminal Damaging and Disorderly Conduct. She was taken to Darke County jail. DISORDERLY CONDUCT On September 2 police were dispatched to Maid-Rite, 125 N. Broadway, regarding a male subject being intoxicated and disorderly. The subject was Herman E. Linder, Greenville. The manager, Kyle Olwine, stated Linder entered the business and told him he’d lost his cell phone. Linder gave him the number and asked him to call it so he could locate the phone. Olwine called twice and never got an answer. Linder then allegedly returned and became disorderly, screaming and yelling he was a “worthless son of a b---h” for not calling. He also said Olwine would not get any more business, then went outside and stood in the drivethru entrance. The officer advised Linder the manager had requested he be trespassed from the business, so he had to leave. Linder refused. He was told again to leave; he could be arrested if he didn’t. He refused. At that point the officer attempted to place handcuffs on him; Linder resisted but eventually was handcuffed. Linder was transported to the Greenville Police

Station where he was charged with Disorderly Conduct and Criminal Trespass. He was then transported to his residence. On September 6 police were dispatched to a location on East Main Street regarding a juvenile complaint. The officer observed Christian Paris walking in the area with two juveniles, one of whom was a female police were looking for. Paris was reportedly aggressive while speaking with the officer. He had an odor of alcoholic beverage and his speech was slurred. The female was released to her father. Paris began to approach the officer and the female and her father; he started using vulgar language and taunting the father to fight. He was warned for disorderly conduct and the others sent on their way. He sat on a park bench for a while but was advised of park hours. When he left he saw the girl and her father down the road and continued to taunt him into fighting. At that point Paris was arrested for Disorderly Conduct and Underage Consumption and transported to the Darke County jail. JUVENILE On September 8 police were dispatched regarding a runaway juvenile. The father advised his son had left him a note saying he was leaving and would call him sometime soon to let him know he was okay. The juvenile was on probation; when he was found he was arrested for Pro-

bation Violation and released to Darke County Juvenile Court. On September 8 police were dispatched to the possible location of a juvenile suspect. Officers were admitted to the residence and found him at that location. The juvenile was placed under arrest; just prior to the handcuffs being placed on him he put his hand in his pocket. The officer pulled his hand out and a marijuana pipe fell to the ground. He also had a pack of cigarettes in his rear pocket. The juvenile was cited for Paraphernalia and Cigarettes, and transported to Juvenile Court. DECEASED Mary Compton was found deceased in her residence at 300 Wagner Ave. Joe Vanvickle, Darke County Coroner’s Office, determined death by natural causes, and she was released to Zechar-Bailey Funeral Home.

Rolling 50’s Classic a car lovers delight BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE – “No, I don’t plan to paint it,” said Jaron Brock of Knoxville, Tenn. “It would only get uglier.” Brock’s 97 Honda Prelude stood out at the Rolling 50’s Car Show Sept. 6 because it was black. Solid black. Not the glossy black typically found on many car models throughout the years, but a ﬂat black. It looked like primer… and that’s what it was. “It’s 100 percent primer,” Brock added. “With about $70 worth of lacquer thinner. “I drive it at least once or twice every week.” He said he had no other plans for the classic car. Another eye-catcher was a baby-blue (or powder blue) 1957 Chevrolet Pickup. Regarding the color, the owner, Don McMiller, said “It was already painted that color when I got it.” He noted however it was not the original color. It’s a custom mix, he added; he has a can with the number combinations on it when he needs to touch the color up. He said to watch out for another blue that might look the same, but if you put the two together they aren’t close. “That color is really an awful blue,” he noted. Don Avore of Greenville had a 1929 Mercedes-Benz Gazelle… except it wasn’t “really” a 1929 MercedesBenz Gazelle. “It’s called a kit car,” he said. “It was built in 1991 to look like a 1929 car. The donor car was a 1985 Chevette chassis and engine. You have to put it together.” The 33rd Anniversary Rolling 50’s Car Show was a combination of classic cars dating from the 1920s (or earlier) to just a few years old, plus 50’s Rock & Roll music. According

to Dave Niley, club president, 98 door prizes were donated by local businesses this year. They also had about 35 to 40 trophies for ‘merchant choices.’ By mid-afternoon between 200-300 vehicles were already entered with more still coming in. “Last year we had about 500,” Niley said. “It might be down a little bit this year due to the weather.” Afterward he noted he didn’t have a ﬁnal count but thought entries came to about 400 by the time it was over at 8:45 p.m. He added he was pleased with the crowd, noting it could be in the thousands. “It’s hard to count something like that,” he said. Niley said he started the show 32 years ago. “We started at the Hasty Tasty, then moved to The

Colony. “We started in downtown Greenville in 1989, and we’ve been here ever since.” An added plus to the show was provided by the Greenville Fire Department with its new “bucket” ladder truck. Kids were allowed in the bucket to see the controls but insurance restrictions didn’t allow them to take a ride. While ﬁreﬁghters might have liked giving rides, one said “It’s probably just as well… if we were giving them rides we wouldn’t have enough time for all the kids.” Rolling 50’s events scheduled for 2015 include the Legendary Father’s Day show June 21, the Classics on Wagner Avenue May 16 and the annual Rolling 50’s Downtown Classics Sept. 12.

GREENVILE – Area dog owners can test their dogs’ hunting abilities during the Greenville Area Dog Club’s Barn Hunt on Sept. 21. “This is a fast-growing dog sport that we wanted to offer in our area,” said Charlotte Wisener, event chairwoman. During a Barn Hunt, dogs search for and locate rats, safely enclosed in aerated tubes that are hidden in a straw bale maze. Open to any breed of dog, the sport tests the traditional role of dogs in ridding barns and homes of vermin. The Barn Hunt will be held indoors at the Greenville Area Dog Club’s training facilities, 5464 State Route 49 South. “This is a fun test. So, it’s a great opportunity to ﬁnd out if this is a sport you and your dog might be interested in pursuing,” Wisener said. The Barn Hunt will have three classes: instinct, novice and open, and will follow the Barn Hunt Association rules and regulations. For more information about Barn Hunts, visit the Barn Hung Association website at www.barnhunt.com. “If you want to see if your dog can hunt, then just sign up for the instinct class,” Wisener said. “Our event is designed to introduce people to the sport.”

The entry fee is $10 for instinct and $15 for novice and open. Because class sizes are limited, pre-entries are encouraged. Pre-entries will be taken through Sept. 13.

Day of show entries will be taken if pre-entry limits are not met. For an entry form, email Margaret Lange, trial secretary, at lange_margaret@yahoo. com.

Darke Co. Emmaus planning events ARCANUM – Darke County Area Emmaus will be holding a Gathering on Sept. 14, 6 p.m., at Grace United Methodist Church, 750 Arcanum-Ithaca Road, Ithaca. The object of the Darke County Area Emmaus Community is to inspire, challenge and equip church members for Christian action in their homes, churches, places of work and the world through the Emmaus experience. The organization will also be hosting a fundraiser on Sept. 27. Fundraising is an integral part of the Emmaus community. It is through the giving of others that more are able to receive the gift of the Emmaus Walk. Darke County is one of the few communities who offer low pilgrim

and team fees. Those fees alone cannot fund the cost of a walk. This is the purpose of their upcoming fundraiser – to allow others the means to discover how grace comes alive in a Christian community and how grace is real in their lives. The fundraiser is Bowling at McBo’s, 498 W. Main St., Versailles, 5-8 p.m. There will be an 8-pin, no tap moonlight event. A $15 donation entitles you to two games of bowling, shoe rental, pizza/pop buffet and entry for door prizes. A $7.50 donation entitles you to the pizza/pop buffet and entry for door prizes. Visit www.dcaec.org for more information and links to contact board members for tickets or registration forms.

Beneﬁt for Chris Miller a success NEW MADISON – The New Madison United Methodist Church would like to thank everyone who helped to raise funds for Chris Miller’s needs. They had a good day of family, food and fun as so many people gathered in response to their request for supporting Chris and his family. The beneﬁt was a success. Chris was premature and born with heart defects. While they thank God the hole in his heart has closed, he is still being monitored for the improperly functioning pulmonary valve. He has been diagnosed with Cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome or CFC. CFC is a genetic mutation causing multiple problems for Chris including developmental delay and changes in many body systems. Chris struggles to eat safely so he now has a feeding tube to ensure he

is receiving all the nutritional needs he requires. Chris is 18 months old. His Mom and Dad, Melanie and Ted Miller, brothers, Teddy and Caleb, and sister, Haley, love him so much. Chris is the youngest member of their congregation. They, too, love him. They have watched him grow and begin to kick and smile. They love to see his happy face as he joins them each Sunday. He has begun to come down in his new wheelchair and join the children for their Children’s message during the worship service. They thank God for his presence and for all the people who help Chris and his family grow together! While they are so grateful for every donation, they also know their needs will be ongoing. Please keep Chris and his family in your prayers.

EUM sends mission team to Alaska GREENVILLE – Destination Known, a mission team from EUM Church in Greenville, sent a group of 12 people to Sutton, AK for their third annual Alaskan mission trip. During the weeklong trip, the team was able to serve the residents of Sutton in some very practical ways. The team went into the community to serve the locals by cutting and splitting ﬁre wood, cutting grass, debarking logs and helping the local pastor put a new roof on his house before the harsh cold winter sets in. “My God moment for the week,” says Cliff Rapier, mission coordinator for the team, “was visiting and working at Eric’s house again. Eric is an elderly gentleman from Germany that has faced many obstacles in his life, such as the harsh winters in Alaska and many health problems. He is someone that has always done things himself and his way. Up until this year, Eric would not allow anyone to enter his home. I saw a huge change in him this year; his home was open to anyone who wanted to enter. As I talked with Eric in his home, it was apparent that all the work we did for him was secondary to the fact that what he really wanted was someone to talk to. As I started to go back outside to work, he took me by my hand and led me to his front room where he asked to just sit and talk. We spent more than half an hour talking about the plans he has for his home and the many different jobs he has held in his lifetime. Eric has a gentle soul and I pray for him often.” Sue Brandenburg, one of the mission team members says, “The mission trip was an awesome experience for me. Just being able to be there and listen to the stories about the lives of the people we served and realizing how much harder their lives are compared to mine has given me a new perspective on life. I share my stories and pictures with others often and hope that

it might inspire others to serve on a mission team.” Destination Known is already planning mission trips for 2015. They include: * Guatemala – The team will build a home for a family that lives on the inactive section of the city garbage dump. * Give Kids the World, Florida – The team will spend time serving children with terminal or life threatening illnesses and their families. * Alaska – The team will complete service projects for the local residents. * Haiti – The team will serve in an orphanage and do some light construction projects. * Guatemala Christmas Gifts – A collection of one gallon size zip lock bags ﬁlled with small toys and other gift items will be taken to Guatemala to hand deliver in December. One of the greatest opportunities we, as God’s people, have is to experience ﬁrst-hand what it means to serve the “least of these.” To walk a mile in someone else’s shoes can dramatically alter your perspective and allow you to see the world as God sees it with a bit more clarity. If you are interested in learning more about any of these mission trips, please contact Cliff Rapier at crapier@eumchurch. org or visit our website at www.eumchurch.org. Jeff Harper is Lead Pastor at EUM Church. EUM’s traditional worship service is held Sunday 9:45 a.m. at the Downtown Campus, 111 Devor Street.

ON YOUR MIND

READERS WRITE Broken Promise In 1970 there was a significant election for Governor that resulted in the Ohio State Income Tax first being passed. Local real estate property taxes had been escalating due to implementation of the “Park Investment” Supreme Court decisions that mandated market-sales valuation and uniform percentage (%) assessment. Farmers were especially reeling from this soon to come tax burden along with residential property owners. Part of the trade off when the State Income Tax was enacted was a promise that was made to farmers and homeowners that in exchange for the State Income Tax the state would lower real property taxes. The four components of this promise that alleviated the property tax situation were the 10% Rollback, and following later the 2.5% Residential Reduction, the CAUV (Current Agriculture Use Value) and a broadening of the Homestead Exemption. Since most of the local property taxes went to fund schools, the trade off in revenue amounted to the schools receiving more from the state through the income tax and less from local real property taxes. This “promise” lasted for over 40 years but unfortunately was broken on June 30, 2013 when the General Assembly enacted their Biennial Budget Bill (Am. Sub. H.B. No. 59). Part of the Budget Bill eliminated the 10% Rollback, the 2.5% Reduction and the Homestead Exemption was modified with strict income limitations so that many taxpayers approaching eligibility would no longer qualify. The CAUV which was first approved by Constitutional Amendment in 1973, with enabling legislation out of the General Assembly in 1974 and 1975, initially contained a very successful formula that benefitted farmers so that their farmland would be valued for tax purposes not at fair market-recent sale values but at its use for agriculture. Farmland during the 1960s had traditionally been assessed at about 20% of its sale value and the CAUV thus delivered tax relief to farmers; so that they could remain productive and not be taxed out of existence. The CAUV formula recently has been skewed by an artificially low capitalization rate which was prompted by the Federal Reserve’s Quantitative Easing (QE) program that was used to keep the economy going after the great recession of 2008 through 2012. Farmers are now facing increases in the CAUV of more than 150 to 180% and that has caused a major tax burden switch back to local real property taxes. The higher CAUV values coupled with the repeal of the 10% and 2.5% reductions along with increased restrictions on the Homestead Exemption, affect all local rural taxpayers. The paltry cuts in the State Income Tax contained in the Budget Bill amounted to “peanuts” to farmland owners who now face almost a doubling of their real estate taxes (in at least 41 Counties during reevaluations this year). Many farmers are also now saddled with the “CAT” tax on their gross revenues. Thus, there has been a “broken promise”; and of course the State was able to balance the budget since it sends less money back to local government in regards to the 10% Rollback, etc. and cuts to local government funds. Rural taxpayers, especially farmers, are not “stupid” and a farm protest is now sweeping across Ohio like the fall harvest to come and a Petition is being circulated to remedy the “tax burden switch” at the behest of “Ohio Farmers United”, a loose coalition of farmers and residential taxpayers. Hopefully Governor Kasich, who was probably unaware of the impact of the State Budget, will become a real “friend of Agriculture” and respond to these protests by administratively ordering the Department of Taxation to lessen the dramatic increases in the CAUV. Also, perhaps the General Assembly will “see the cows come home” and restore the rollbacks and put the Homestead Exemption back to its broader applicability. In the farmers’ campaign for tax justice, they have noted that it is time again for farmers to “raise less corn and more hell”!

Like Father – Like Daughter Ryan’s World by Ryan Berry Managing Editor I looked at my daughters the other day and thought to myself “How did they become so much like me?” Fortunately, they look more like their mom the older they get.

SERVING US ANSONIA – Brandon A. Liette, an Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) cadet at Ohio University, Athens, has graduated from the Leader Development and Assessment Course (LDAC) at Fort Knox, Ky. The 29 days of training provide the best possible professional training and evaluation for all cadets in the aspects of military life, administration and logistical support. Although continued military training and leadership development is included in the curriculum, the primary focus of the course is to develop and evaluate each cadet’s officer potential by exercising the cadet’s intelligence, common sense, ingenuity and physical stamina. The cadet command assesses each cadet’s performance and progress in officer traits, qualities and professionalism while attending the course. Cadets usually attend LDAC between their junior and senior years of college, and they must complete the course to qualify for commissioning. Upon successful completion of the course, the ROTC program, and graduation from college, cadets are commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Army, Army National Guard, or Army Reserve. He is a 2011 graduate of Ansonia High School, Ansonia.

Their red hair is the same color as mine, or at least the color my hair was before they came along and it started to turn gray. My oldest is a lot like me when it comes to having a laid back attitude. It takes a while before you make her mad and then it’s “Katy bar the door.” She can hold her temper for a little while, but once she has had enough she lets loose. My youngest isn’t as laid back, but it does take a while for her to be confrontational. I should point out these qualities are only valid with strangers, acquaintances and friends (sometimes). Tempers are much shorter with family. My youngest is a lot like me in the mornings. My wife doesn’t like this quality and claims we are “grumpy.” I’ve come to realize that description is inaccurate. We are both supernaturally equipped before 9 a.m. It’s not a cool supernatural ability like being able to ﬂy or invisibility, but it isn’t horrible. We have a heightened sense of perception. We know if a person is going to say or do something stupid before they open their mouths. It has been proven the only way to combat this form of evilness is with the sneer and hatefulness weapon. I’ve also discovered traits my daughters have that I didn’t know I had. It may come as a sur-

prise, but they aren’t always good ones. I know most of you are wondering how I could have any bad qualities. It came as a surprise to me, too. The one that worries me most is my oldest daughter’s inability to pay attention to what she is doing. I’m hoping this was merely a coincidence and not something I passed on to her. To our surprise and delight our oldest daughter got the clothes out of the dryer the ﬁrst time she was asked. Even more amazing to us was when she took the initiative to go beyond our request and took the clothes from the washing machine and put them in the dryer. That was almost enough to give us hope that she will become a productive member of society. Even more impressive is that she emptied the lint trap before starting the next load of clothes. Those are the qualities I want to be able to say I gave her. (Cue dark cloud here.) It was all for naught when I heard “DAD!” It was the kind of yell that parents recognize as a sign their child messed something up and responding quickly may save them money on repairs. She wasn’t paying attention when she was cleaning out the lint trap and “accidentally” knocked a lid into the hole that holds the lint

screen. The only way of getting it out was to take the dryer apart, which I did. ATTENTION FUTURE DO-IT-YOURSELFERS: If you are going to take the back panel off of the dryer and move metal pieces around that might come into contact with some of the electrical connections be sure to unplug the dryer. The ginormous spark it causes may not be good for the appliance. It may even cause you to think you blew up the thing when you push the button and it doesn’t start. It may also cause your wife to yell when you tell her you think you blew up the thing. Your wife may be relieved when you go back downstairs to the dryer and discover the door wasn’t shut all the way and it really does work. That was a public service announcement that may or may not have come from experience. Now, back to the story. Relieved that I had found the lid and only lost one screw when reattaching the back panel, I wasn’t paying attention when I put down the socket wrench. Can you guess where I put it? As it landed at the bottom of the lint trap hole I let out a big scream. It was the kind of scream a child will recognize as a sign she better go hide because this is ultimately her fault.

Peafowl will soon have a new home BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE – It started with a question that turned into a discussion and then action. Members of the Greenville Park Board were joined by Ryan Carpe, Mayor Michael Bowers and other volunteers to break ground on a new Peacock/Peafowl pen at the Greenville City Park. When complete, the new pen will sit adjacent to the pen at the southwest section of the park and will face the Swinging Bridge. Marling Band Shell, Rotary Bridge, Swinging Bridge, Gazebo, play-

ground and the Peacock Pen – all are focal points of Greenville’s centerpiece. According to Mayor Bowers, Carpe came into his ofﬁce and questioned what could be done to make the park better. That question turned into a call to action for Carpe. Carpe assembled a top notch committee that was able to design and raise funds for the new pen. Construction is expected to be complete by late fall. The peafowl have been part of the Greenville City Park for nearly 50 years. Their current structure is expected to be repurposed with the ceiling and walls being disassembled and possibly used as a walk-

Church burglary suspect convicted on 15 counts

BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER GREENVILLE – Accused church burglary suspect, Ethan E. Louk, 21, of Gordon, pleaded guilty Monday to 15 counts included in a June indictment. Louk was charged after an investigation by the Darke County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce suspected him and a 17-year-old accomplice broke into at least nine churches in Darke County between February and June. The pair are also charged with several break-ins into businesses in Arcanum, Pitsburg and New Madison. Darke County Prosecuting Attorney Kelly Ormsby agreed to recommend local jail time in exchange for Louk’s guilty plea to 13 counts of Breaking & Entering, ﬁfth degree felonies; and two counts of Safe Crack-

ing, felonies of the fourth degree. Louk remains jailed on a $10,000 as a presentence investigation is conducted before his scheduled sentencing Oct. 20 at 1:30 p.m. Even though the state will only ask for the agreed 90 days in jail, realistically Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein is able to sentence Louk up to 16 years in prison. He is also scheduled for sentencing on similar charges in Miami County on Oct. 14. He is represented by local defense attorney David A. Rohrer.

way around the new pen. Mike Henderson, of Mote & Assoc., pointed out they won’t know what they will be able to use until they can start tearing it down. Dustin Foster, of Foster Tree & Landscaping, is a certiﬁed arborist and has volunteered to remove several trees. Some of the trees are infected with Emerald Ash Borer. Jason Stebbins, of JCS Construction, will complete the construction project. According to Park Board President Dale Musser, the board is ready to start moving on the Marling Band Shell renovation project. He noted he’s not sure when it will be started or completed, but it is next on the list. In recent years, the park has been able to complete several projects, including a new roof on the fort and the lagoons have been completely rebuilt.

BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE – “Raptors get a bad rap because they’re birds of prey… without them we’d be overrun with rats, mice, snakes and the other small animals they eat.” Jeannie Harshbarger and Pam Siegel feel privileged to have been given the opportunity to know Joseph the Red-Tail Hawk and Greta the Great Horned Owl. They visit the “mews” (homes of the two birds) on a daily basis. “We come sit with them every day, sometimes talk, sometimes read to them… sometimes we just sit.” The purpose is to get them used to humans. Both birds arrived about the same time, in 2012, from other county park systems. The special event at Darke County Parks’ Shawnee Prairie on Sept. 6 was the first time their habitats had been open to the public. Another one is scheduled for Oct. 4. Only four people had visited a little over halfway through the scheduled time. “That’s okay,” said Harshbarger. “We don’t want to overwhelm them too much.” Joseph sat “statue” still throughout the visit, staring at the intruders. The ladies said they saw him blink once or twice. Greta let the intruders know she was aware she had visitors, moving from her perch to the ground and back; at one point flapping her wings. “Sometimes she’ll hiss like a cat to let us know she knows we’re here,” said Harshbarger. It’s almost as if she is telling them to back off, this is her turf! Greta is totally blind; that doesn’t mean she isn’t aware of her surroundings. She can fly so they have to keep her tethered.

the other hand, can see fine but can’t fly. “If they could get together they’d be fine,” Harshbarger added. Not likely to happen since Joseph hunts during the day and Greta hunts at night. The birds get fed once a day except Sunday, said Siegel. “They probably wouldn’t eat every day in the wild, and here they are sedentary. They could put on weight.” They are fed mice and chicks; every once in a while one or the other gets a treat… “A snake worked its way into Joseph’s mew the other day. They found the partly eaten remains the next day.” Both areas are only partially protected from the rain; at that time a slight drizzle. “They like the rain, so that’s not a problem.” Siegel noted

the water containers… “That’s more for them to take a little dip when they get hot… they get their water from their food.” They also have heat lamps for the winter. The temperature control is needed because both are migratory birds. Both ladies were grateful for their summer experience. Harshbarger said she was a cat person and got a kick out of the structure housing the birds being referred to as a ‘mew.’ “I think that’s hilarious,” she said. Siegel added she always heard or saw an owl when she was at a low point in her life. The consensus? “I’m so privileged to get to know them,” they each said. “Also,” nodding toward each other, “our new friendship is a gift, too.”

Landscaping and Gardening tip GREENVILLE – Brought to by Flory Landscaping and Lawn Care Inc., Greenville, OH, Your Landscape/ Gardening tip of the week: Help Your Lawn Do you think what can I do more to make my lawn look beautiful besides the basic lawn practices such as mowing, fertilizing, and watering? Aeration is an extremely important lawn practice

to help to shape up your lawn. Aeration involves piercing the soil with small holes to allow air and nutrients to reach the grass roots. It helps the grass roots grow deeper and stronger for a better, fuller looking lawn. Aeration also helps with soil compaction; compacted soils have too many solid particles that take up space which prevents proper circulation

of air, water and nutrients within the soil and can starve your roots. If your yard gets a heavy use, or if it’s a new home, you are a perfect candidate for aerating you lawn. Aerating is usually done in, spring and fall. This way the grass can heal and ﬁll in where the soil plugs where removed. For more information, visit Florylandscaping.com.

KINGERY – Ty Charles Kingery, infant son of Ryan and Alaina, and little brother to Connor, ﬂew away to live in Heaven on Sept. 2, 2014 at 2:23 p.m., making his earthly stay only 49 minutes. The doctors and nurses worked fervently to try and save him, but it was not part of God’s plan. Ty was a special little boy, beautiful in the eyes of his parents, but made just a little different from other boys and girls. Our arms are empty and aching, but we rest fully assured that he is so much more comfortable nestled in the arms of Jesus. That is our comfort, and our peace. Ty is survived by his parents, his big brother (who was so excited about our new baby, and wanted to name him Charlie), his maternal grandparents, Steve and Debbie Garber, paternal grandparents, Rick and Marilyn Kingery, maternal great grandparents, Alberta Skiles, Bernice Garber, paternal great grandparents, Bob and Eula Flora, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. We did not get to hold his little body while breath was yet in him, but through the screen of doctors and nurses surrounding him, we caught glimpses of little arms, waving in the air above the bassinet and we are convinced that Ty was bidding us farewell! “I will see you in Heaven, Daddy & Mommy!” Trusting that our loss is his gain, His parents. A Graveside Service was held Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2014 at Ithaca Cemetery in Arcanum. The Kindred Funeral Home, Englewood is handling arrangements. Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.KindredFuneralHome.com. POLEI – Jane Polei, 83, of Greenville, passed away on Friday, September 5, 2014 at 1:35 AM at State of the Heart Hospice Care Center, Greenville.

If we had a choice to pick anyone we wanted, we are certain that there could be no other. He was always there through good times and bad and we can barely recall ever seeing him get mad. He listened with an open mind and an open heart. He never held a grudge. He never met a stranger. He never let us down. He always taught us to see things from the other side no matter how mad or hurt we may have been. We will miss him more than words can express and whenever someone mentions fathers, we can honestly say ours was one of the best. We love you dad with all our hearts. He is now reunited with the love of his life and is no longer in pain so we rejoice in a life well-lived. We will miss you, daddy, so please watch over us.

Eldridge resigns as Greenville football coach GREENVILLE – According to Greenville City Schools Superintendent Doug Fries, Mark Eldridge recently turned in his resignation as assistant coach of Greenville varsity football. The resignation comes after Eldridge was sanctioned by the Midwest Ohio Baseball League, for which he was a coach. He allegedly “fraudulently altered a birth certiﬁcate” of his son; a player in the league. According to the league’s website the board has decided to ban Eldridge and his son for life from Midwest Ohio Baseball. The resignation from Eldridge is scheduled to be addressed by the Greenville City Schools Board of Education during Thursday’s meeting

at 7 p.m. at the St. Clair Memorial Hall. This meeting is open to the public. To see the post from the president and vice president of the Midwest Ohio Baseball League, log on tomidwestohiobaseball.com. Eldridge was voted in as a commissioner for Greenville Citizens Baseball League (GCBL) in July and took ofﬁce at the beginning of September. GCBL will meet soon to discuss the allegations and determine Edlridge’s future with the organization. Tyler Edwards, GCBL treasurer, said, “Mark has a done a lot for the Greenville baseball community. It is unfortunate that this will override everything he has done.”

Miss Annie Oakley 2013 Courtney Osborne and Kiwanis of Greenville Vice President Dale Musser.

2013 Miss Annie Oakley visits Kiwanis GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;I loved the parades,â&#x20AC;? said Courtney Osborne, Miss Annie Oakley 2013. She went to ten; also visited several events that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t involve parades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids watching the parades would stand and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;shoot me, shoot meâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;Ś sometimes â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hey lookâ&#x20AC;Ś she has a gun!â&#x20AC;? Courtney talked to Kiwanis of Greenville Sept. 10 about her experiences the previous year. The year she ďŹ rst began competing for the title of Miss Annie Oakley she got second runner-up. She hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shot a riďŹ&#x201A;e in eight years and only practiced two weeks prior to the competition. The next year she achieved her goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Annie Oakley was an idol of mine,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an honor being able to represent her.â&#x20AC;? Courtney, a Tri-Village High School senior, is also a PSEOP (Post Secondary Education Opportunity Program) student. Her classes this semester are with Edison Community College. She expects to get her Associate Degree from Edison in the spring, shortly before she graduates from high school.

She made her presentation to Kiwanis as part of an extra credit opportunity for a Communications 121 Public Speaking class, taught by adjunct instructor Bob Robinson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was only her third week in the class, so speaking in front of a group of strangers was a challenge for her,â&#x20AC;? Robinson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought she did a great job. Some of my students look rather pale the ďŹ rst time they get up in front of classmates to make a presentationâ&#x20AC;Ś they are usually comfortable by the time theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d done it a few times.â&#x20AC;? Due to the restrictions of class time, and the usually tight schedules of students, speeches are typically given to fellow students theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten to know over the semester. In order to fully beneďŹ t from the public speaking experience, a few are given an opportunity to speak at a Kiwanis meeting. There is also an option to speak to sixth grade students at South School, as well as participate in the VFWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Audio-Essay Competition.

VERSAILLES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Versailles FFA extends an invitation to EMS and ďŹ reďŹ ghters within Darke County and surrounding areas to attend the seventh bi-annual EMS and FireďŹ ghter Farm Safety Training Program on Sept. 27, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to be held at the Versailles Fire/Rescue Station at 320 Baker Road, Versailles.

Mentors needed for area Littles DARKE COUNTY – Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County is excited to announce that another great year is in the works for the Big Buddies afterschool program. They are seeking fun and energetic people who want an opportunity to give back to the community. This is a great opportunity to obtain community service hours as well as make a difference in the life of a child. This is the 16th year the program has been in place. The Buddies program is a nine-month commitment where high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors volunteer to work with and mentor elementary aged children two times per month. During these meetings the high school students, under the supervision of Big Brothers Big Sisters staff, work with one or two children on different educational and recreational activities. The program continues to promote social and educational enhancing activities, as well as focusing on STEM curriculum.

High school mentoring programs have become a widespread component of many nationally affiliated Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies. Studies prove that children who spend time with a positive role model are more likely to become healthy, productive adults. The Big Buddies program has proven beneficial not only for the “Littles” but for the high school volunteers as well. If you are interested in becoming a mentor in our High School Buddies program please call 5479622 or 492-7611 or visit www.bigbrobigsis-shelbydarke.org for more information. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke County is a United Way member agency and an affiliate of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. If you would like more information about becoming involved, you may visit the agency website at www.bigbrobigsisshelbydarke.org or call the Sidney office at 4927611 or the Greenville office at 547-9622.

GREENVILLE – In 2001, the family of Tina Bandedo came to Greenville; they liked the town and decided to open a Mexican restaurant, El Camino Real. The ﬁrst restaurant was opened on Sweitzer Street and was managed by Tina’s family. Customers loved their food and they soon outgrew that location. In 2002 they moved the restaurant to the Greenville Inn on Martin Street. In 2003, Tina and her husband Tony Bandedo moved to Greenville and Tony took over management of the restaurant. Seven years later the restaurant was continuing to grow and moved to their present location on Wagner Avenue. With each move, the restaurant was able to keep the same friendly atmosphere and food quality. Customers love their homemade menu items as well as the great service El Camino Real is known for. In 2012, Tina took over management of the business and instituted many changes, including new menu items, the burrito challenge and lots of surprises and special events for their loyal customers. Tina wanted to make things fun and give more va-

strated solid performance across many market cycles. As you’ve probably heard, “past performance is no guarantee of future results,” and this is true. Nonetheless, you can help improve your outlook by owning quality investments. So when investing n stocks, choose those that have actual earnings and a track record of earnings growth. If you invest in fixedincome vehicles, pick those that are considered “investment grade.” • Don’t make emotional decisions. At various times during your retirement, you will, in all likelihood, witness some sharp drops in the market. Try to avoid overreacting to these downturns, which will probably just be normal market “corrections.” If you can keep your emotions out of investing, you will be less likely to make moves such as selling quality investments merely because their price is temporarily down. • Don’t try to “time” the market. You may be tempted to “take advantage” of volatility by looking for opportunities to “buy low and sell high.” In theory, this is a fine idea — but, unfortunately, no one can really predict market highs or lows. You’ll probably be better off by consistently investing the same amount of money into the same investments. Over time, this method of investing may result in lower per-share costs. However, as is the case with diversification, this type of “systematic” investing won’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss, and you’ll need to be willing to keep investing when share prices are declining. It’s probably natural to get somewhat more apprehensive about market volatility during your retirement years. But taking the steps described above can help you navigate the sometimes-choppy waters of the financial world.

Protect Your Retirement against Market Volatility As an investor, you’re well aware that, over the short term, the financial markets always move up and down. During your working years, you may feel that you have time to overcome this volatility. And you’d be basing these feelings on actual evidence: the longer the investment period, the greater the tendency of the markets to “smooth out” their performance. But what happens when you retire? Won’t you be more susceptible to market movements? You may not be as vulnerable as you might think. In the first place, given our growing awareness of healthier lifestyles, you could easily spend two, or even three, decades in retirement — so your investment time frame isn’t necessarily going to be that compressed. Nonetheless, it’s still true that time may well be a more important consideration to you during your retirement years, so you may want to be particularly vigilant about taking steps to help smooth out the effects of market volatility. Toward that end, here are a few suggestions: • Allocate your investments among a variety of asset classes. Of course, proper asset allocation is a good investment move at any age, but when you’re retired, you want to be especially careful that you don’t “over-concentrate” your investment dollars among just a few assets. Spreading your money among a range of vehicles — stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, government securities and so on —can help you avoid taking the full brunt of a downturn that may primarily hit just one type of investment. (Keep in mind, though, that while diversification can help reduce the effects of volatility, it can’t assure a profit or protect against loss.) • Choose investments that have demon-

GREENVILLE – “I’ve been trying to convince my son for 20 BOB ROBINSON years,” said Associate Editor Kim Martin. bluebagmedia.com “Now I have proof.” She was standing next to a Red Cross recruiting poster; the woman was holding an injured soldier. The caption read “The Greatest Mother in the World.” She wasn’t sure he’d believe it, however. Martin was from the Cincinnati Chapter of the American Red Cross. She was one of several Red Cross representatives on hand to talk to visitors about the vintage posters on display in the Anna Bier Room of St. Clair Memorial Hall Sept. 5. Over a dozen posters depicted a history of Red Cross recruiting efforts, beginning with one of President Woodrow Wilson in 1918. Captioned “I summon you to the comradeship” it was a response to the unprecedented need for Red Cross services during World War I. “The Greatest Mother in the World” theme was used multiple times, while other efforts depicted the “army of the disabled keeps growing.” An earlier poster, entitled “Little Sister,” elicited comments for its simplicity and the beauty of the model. According to Lynne Gump, director of the Darke County chapter, it was drawn by pin-up artist Raphael Kirschner in 1913. Another poster depicted a model beautiful enough that a visitor said he’d “run out in front of a

bullet if she was the one taking care of me.” The caption said “In service of those who suffer.” Scott Miller, executive director of the Northern Miami Valley chapter in Troy said the posters were his. They were donated by a 73-year volunteer. “She’s still volunteering,” he said. “I believe she started when she was 10.” He added she wanted to preserve history and let people see the posters. “They all have a story to tell,” he said. “It seems like in wartime they are darker than at

other times.” He noted as an example a colorful 1919 poster. The war was over. The display was part of Main Street Greenville’s September First Friday. It included live music and special merchant offerings. In front of the Heavy Metal Church of Christ Dr. Dark was painting faces. The highlight of the evening was the Theater on Third, featuring the Lego Movie. The Red Cross Poster display will be available until Sept. 20 at Memorial Hall.

Ho scale railroad alive and well in Greenville GREENVILLE – Darke County has many little known nuggets BOB ROBINSON representAssociate Editor ing unique bluebagmedia.com or historical facets of the area. In a recent First Friday event, participants were able to see some of the ofﬁces and merchants of the past in upper ﬂoors of buildings still in use, including a unique history of the former Darke County jail, now inhabited by the Darke County Commissioners. This was a Main Street Greenville First Friday in May. The latest “nugget” can be found in an upstairs ‘apartment’ just off the Circle at 405 1/2 So. Broadway. It wasn’t part of Main Street’s September First Friday but members of the Darke County Model Railroad Club took advantage of the event. They posted a

sign on the sidewalk and invited visitors upstairs. A step inside is a step into a different world, one in which everything is ‘Ho’ scale, “or close to it,” as club President Jim Warner noted. A number of trains were making their daily runs from Greenville to destinations as far away as Chicago and New York. Train activity could be observed in three distinct sections of the room, all with their own unique landscaping. The depiction of buildings, streets, bridges, trees and shrubbery even impressed Darke County Engineer Jim Surber, who was admiring one of the display areas in the room. “Yes, it is (impressive)!! I’m amazed at the detail,” he said. Warner said the club has been at that location 33 years, “since 1981!” When they moved in they leveled the room, then set up risers for the different

sites. Other than a recent changeover from regular engines to sound engines the series of tracks, tunnels and villages has been complete for about 10 years. “Of course we always have repair work to do,” he added. Warner is a founding member of the club which currently has eight members. They’d like to have more members… or even just people to operate the engines. “We rely on people to come in from the outside. Model railroaders come from as far away as Springﬁeld and Middletown,” he said. The club currently schedules an operating session the second Sunday of every month from 1 to 4 p.m. He added, however, they might be there at different times. “Pull on the door… if it opens, we’re up here and you’re invited to come on up.”

Girl Scouts is beneďŹ cial to girls DAYTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Girl Scouts of Western Ohio is encouraging girls and adults to start the school year off on a positive note by joining and volunteering for Girl Scouts. As the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preeminent leadership development organization for girls, research shows that girls who participate in Girl Scouts are more successful in school and get better grades (Linking Leadership to Academic Success: The Girl Scout Difference,

2012). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Families are already thinking about how they are going to allocate their free time during the new school year,â&#x20AC;? said Darlene Langhout, director of regional services for Girl Scouts of Western Ohio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Girl Scouts gives girls and adult volunteers a positive, life changing option. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just talk. We have statistics that show our girls excel for years to come following their Girl Scout Lead-

ership Experience.â&#x20AC;? Results of a recent survey conducted with over 3,500 volunteers and parents of Girl Scouts show positive effects on members of all ages. Ninety-seven percent of parents agreed their daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience was a positive activity. In addition, more than ninety percent reported their daughter learned or tried something new, and participated in fun and exciting new experiences.

Follow Baleigh to VAHS Museum VERSAILLES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Baleigh Reed, intern at The Darke County Visitors Bureau, is back in action with this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s installment of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Follow Baleighâ&#x20AC;? to The Versailles Area Historical Society. Where has the month of August gone? In the blink of an eye, kids are back at school, and all of the summer festivities have wrapped up. In Versailles, the summer concluded with a BANG due to the All-Class Reunion Labor Day weekend. The streets of Versailles were shut down for the ďŹ fth annual All-Class Reunion which is celebrated every four years. I was fortunate to get the chance to speak with the man who has been there from the beginning, Ken DeMange. He said that the reason they started this event over 20 years ago was to, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Encourage classes to celebrate their class reunion the same weekend as the All-Class Reunion. By holding the VHS AllClass Reunion every four years, the classes rotate celebrating their monumental year for their class reunions.â&#x20AC;? Ken explained that the ultimate goal of this event is to bring the community together and raise money for the Versailles High School scholarships, which supports their mission statement. For guest enjoyment, a shuttle bus was provided to transport people to the Versailles Historical Society Museum every half hour, and I just so happened to be on it. On the last day of the event, I took a tour around the museum and spoke with the President of the museum, Deb Pohl. As I spoke with her, so many questions swirled around in my head. I was so curious to learn about this establishment, and several others must have been as well because the museum was packed with families and people young and old. With the All-Class reunion being held, business was BOOMING for the museum and other

Retiree picnic GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The annual Whirlpool and Hobart Retiree Picnic will be held Sept. 15, noon, at 6047 Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Home Bradford Road at Lucas Woods. Please bring a covered dish, drink and table service. Hot dogs and condiments will be furnished. This is open to all persons who have worked at the factory. There will not be a breakfast that morning. For more information, call 548-2608.

local businesses. When asked the reasoning for creating the museum, Pohl responded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;On Poultry Days for several years, people would make displays in the trophy cases of the old high school for Versailles items they have collected over the years, and we kept talking about how it would sure be nice to have a permanent display set up somewhere. So Sara Magoteaux and I would kid each other back and forth about having a permanent museum.â&#x20AC;? Finally after several years of going back and forth trying to decide who would begin this project, Mrs. Pohl rose to the occasion. She and Sara got together at the 2009 Poultry Days and both said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go for it!â&#x20AC;? The rest is historyâ&#x20AC;Ś no pun intended. The displays inside hold all Versailles area artifacts including items from all the towns in Versailles and Russia school district. I was made aware that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Military roomâ&#x20AC;? was the crown jewel of the museum, and as I entered, I would say that is an understatement. This room is truly amazing! Inside, one may ďŹ nd uniforms from a great majority of the wars on loan from the soldiers and their families. I also spotted an authentic Nazi ďŹ&#x201A;ag from World War II that someone had recovered. It was so great to look around at all of the history that surrounds us, and looking at all of the area people who ďŹ ght/ have fought daily for our freedom is beyond a doubt a humbling experience.

In addition to the military room, the museum also has rooms dedicated to the three areas of the school system, a sports and music room which displays all of the band uniforms since the 1950s, a train room, a room entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the Street Where You Liveâ&#x20AC;? featuring The Sweet Shop, a room dedicated to â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Famous Russelsâ&#x20AC;? who traveled all around the United States with a circus act, a ďŹ re room displaying shots of the town before and after it burnt down, a mercantile room, the church room with items from all of the local churches, a turn of the century 1900 kitchen room, the curiosity room which houses tools used on the farm or in the kitchen at the time, and many, MANY more! I highly recommend visiting this museum. I was astounded by how much history it had to offer, and I would love to visit again soon to learn even more! Pack up the family and head to the museum during its hours on Sunday from 1-4 special tours are also available. If you would like to get involved with the museum, Mrs. Pohl explained that they are always looking for volunteers to come and help out! If you are interested in doing anything from building shelves to cleaning/ helping to change displays, you can call the museum at 526-4222.

Many also reported that because of their involvement, the girls feel special (94 percent), have more friends (95 percent), and are happier (89 percent). Girl Scout volunteers beneďŹ t as well: 94 percent made new friends, 88 percent believe their life is better because they volunteer, and two-thirds believe their experience has helped them professionally. Ninety-ďŹ ve percent are happy knowing they are making girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives better. Girl Scouts builds girls of courage, conďŹ dence, and character. Girls explore topics of interest in a judgment-free space outside of classroom conďŹ nements. They cultivate cooperative and self-directed learning through hands on activities and reďŹ&#x201A;ection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone can be a Girl Scout volunteer and help shape the next generation of female leaders,â&#x20AC;? said Cindy McCurdy, community engagement team lead for Girl Scouts of Western Ohio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can be men, women, retirees, or even college students.

Prairie Days full of historic activities

BARE WEAR

We see in the ladies’ shops Arrays of summer tank tops. Perhaps most all should be yanked For lots of our tops have tanked!

ODD SESSION

The old gentleman was quite proud of his hair. He washed it, cut it, gave it the best of care. A few minutes each day and the task was done. It never took longer—his hair numbered one!

VANITY

When women wake up They want their makeup. The telltale mirror Shows it much clearer— That a pale, bare face Is the starting place. At boudoir station,

Apply foundation. Add some rosy blush; Sweep with a brow brush. Mascara? Each lash, Dust a powder dash. Spark it with a kick Of bright red lipstick— Then gloss across; Give hair a toss. Women do their daily duty Trying to become a beauty. If they ﬂop, the cause is not lost; They can shop, if they have the cost, And buy more cosmetics to exhaust. ~~~~~~

A NEW WRINKLE

Each time the woman’s face went south, She would have another face lift. But her surgeries proved no gift— For her neck now covers her mouth.

World Day of Prayer World, would you take time to pray? On this anniversary of another day of infamy, Do not hide your tears, Or be overwhelmed by your fears. We were given a rude wake up call, Praise the Lord America did not fall, We were given a caustic taste of defeat, Yes, that challenge we did meet. We refuse to fear, just be afraid, Lord Help us save this world you made, Give us courage to keep us free, I pray for peace will you pray with me? Let your prayers be heard, Gaining comfort from His word, No one knows how many cried, Or how many prayers for those who died Families and friends need your prayers, Rattle every mountain with your prayers, Our memories will dim, yet we will not forget. World raise your voice in prayer, Keep the freedoms strong we share, We also share another bond, love, Will you help spread understanding and love? Dale W. Curtis, Greenville

GREENVILLE – Come to Prairie Days at Shawnee Prairie Preserve on Sept. 27, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sept. 28, noon to 5 p.m. and check out all of the free demonstrations occurring around the festival grounds. There are many new attractions this year as well as the return of your annual favorites. You can see apple butter being made over an open fire or help make fresh apple cider on a cider press. Wander through the encampment area and catch a glimpse of various camping styles from the late 18th century including anything from diamond flies to wall tents. Check out the assortment of tools from the era that the longhunters and other woodsmen would have traveled with on their journeys. You can also watch the campers compete in several camp competitions including a tomahawk and knife throwing contest. Visit the trading post, see wooden shingles being made or take a look at a display of 18th century firearms. As you continue your stroll around the grounds, you will see blacksmiths at work, a beekeeper tending to honeybees, lye soap being made, a dugout canoe in the process of be-

ing completed and corn shredding demonstrations from antique farm machinery. Outside of the log house, you will see various pioneer demonstrations throughout each day. Butter Making, Flint Knapping, Leather Working and Pioneer Clothing are just a few you may see. As you head inside the log house, you will ﬁnd pioneers cooking over the hearth while others are

busy weaving, quilting, tatting and using alpaca and sheep’s wool for yarn work. Don’t forget to wander into the school house where the school marm will bring you back to the disciplines of the one room school house of yesteryear. School will be in session all day along with a Spelling Bee at 1 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Bring the entire family out to Prairie Days to

see ﬁrsthand many of the skills that may not be so common anymore, but were vital to everyday life in days gone by. This year they also welcome the Western Ohio Gourd Patch as they will have several vendors that will have their goods on display. For more information on everything that Prairie Days has to offer, call the Nature Center at 548-0165 or visit www. darkecountyparks.org.

Prairie Days hosts entertainment GREENVILLE – Looking for some local, great, free entertainment? Prairie Days has a full schedule of entertainers on their outdoor stage and around the festival grounds. Visit Shawnee Prairie for the festival, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sept. 27 and from noon to 5 p.m. on Sept. 28. The Darke County Civic Theatre will have three performances throughout the weekend, 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturday and 3 p.m. on Sunday. The title of this year’s Prairie Days Melodrama is “Fit To Be Tied, or The Train’s Already Been Here, ‘Cause It Left Its Tracks” by Craig Williams and is produced by special arrangement

with Eldridge Publishing Company. The Poor family is struggling to keep the ROCK (Railroad of Central Kansas) on track and a large job to ship cattle back East will help. But the evil banker, Vil Lain, holds the mortgage on the railroad and he and his sidekick scheme to foreclose on the ROCK. Lain tries to entice Terri Blee Poor, the heroine and by coincidence, a train whistle virtuoso, to become his wife to save her family’s railroad, but Terri Blee loves a brakeman on the ROCK, Earnest Lee. When she refuses Lain’s advances, she is tied to the tracks. This one-act melodrama features lots of puns, creative banter and maybe even a clue

Silver Grass

as to how the ﬁrst Hard ROCK cafe got started. There are also several musical performances to enjoy Saturday at 1 p.m. delight in a concert from the Thien Snipps. Sunday features back to back performances as well. At noon, Roger DeMange

will perform followed by the band Silver Grass. All of these performances are free and fun for the whole family. For more information on Prairie Days, contact the Darke County Park District at 548-0165 or visit www. darkecountyparks.org.

Gallery continues Red Cross display GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;A ReďŹ&#x201A;ection of Life,â&#x20AC;? the rare and unique collection of historic Red Cross posters from the early 1900s will continue to be on display in Darke County. These magniďŹ cent and colorful posters depict the American Red Cross disaster relief, armed forced and fundraising efforts during and following World War I. These historical posters were used in community outreach, to encourage members â&#x20AC;&#x153;to joinâ&#x20AC;? the American Red Cross. Created long before graphic artists and technology, they were created by artists and mu-

ralists, designing one single image that would â&#x20AC;&#x153;make the askâ&#x20AC;? across the country to support the American Red Cross.

5615 HOLLANSBURG-SAMPSON RD, ARCANUM Exceptionally nice 3 BR, 2 Bth, 1623 sq ft brick ranch. Many updates. 32x14 outbuilding. Price has been reduced. Just East of Jaysville-St Johns Rd.

Treaty Realty 548-6060

The display will be at the Anna Bier Gallery of Memorial Hall in Greenville during these times in Sept.: Before and at intermission for the DCCA Artist Series Program on Sept. 13 and at regular Saturday gallery hours of 11 a.m.â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 3 p.m. on Sept. 13 and 20. Director Marcia Weidner noted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am looking forward to exhibiting this rare collection of vintage Red Cross posters recognizing the Red Cross for the many years of service to our nation in times of need.â&#x20AC;? One of the posters on display is possibly one of the most important in the American Red Cross history, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Greatest Motherâ&#x20AC;?, by Alonzo E, Foringer, in 1918, some ten million copies were dis-

tributed in towns and cities across the country. The American Red Cross of Darke Co. Chapter has these unique posters on loan from the American Red Cross Northern Miami Valley chapter. The posters were given to the Northern Miami Valley Chapter by a donor who found them in her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attic after he died. He was a printer and it is presumed that he printed these posters. The posters were used as a fund drive when support for the Red Cross was through membership for $1. Children collected pennies to fund the Red Cross. In keeping with the spirit of the posters, a collection canister will be available for the Darke Co. Red Cross. To paraphrase Stella Adler, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life beats down and crushes and the soul and art reminds you that you have one, while the Red Cross makes sure you can live one.â&#x20AC;?

Welch helping others with music Arcanum-Butler staff encouraged

GREENVILLE – For some time, 22-year-old Becky Welch knew she wanted to do something that combined her love of music, her interest in psychology, and her desire to help people in her career. As she processed how she would mix these interests, she learned that the University of Dayton offered one of the finest programs in Music Therapy. “Just shortly before school, I decided that Music Therapy would be that chosen field,” she explained. In December, the Carmel, Ind. native will receive her diploma, a Bachelors Degree in Music Therapy. But first, she is in the middle of a six month internship with State of the Heart Hospice. Her experience, she stated, is both gratifying and challenging at times. “It is rewarding to realize that as a music therapist, you can provide comfort, and something posi-

tive at life’s end,” she said. State of the Heart, a nonproﬁt agency that provides care to patients in eastern Indiana and western Ohio who are confronting a life limiting illness, has offered the internship for several years now. Music therapy emerged in hospice care in the early to mid 1990’s and has become increasingly popular in the hospice world. Through the use of music therapy, a patient can realize improved quality of life, an easing of depression and the “opening of channels” for conversation. It is not unusual for a patient with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease to suddenly recall songs from days gone by and sing along with the music therapist. Music therapy can also be a “pain masking agent” by offering distraction for the patient, and it helps relax patients who are experiencing breathing problems.

Becky Welch

Welch recalled an early experience in her hospice internship when she and one of the music therapists (the agency has two board certiﬁed music therapists), were sitting with a patient playing music and singing hymns. “I noticed a calming effect the music had on the patient,” she added. They played for about two hours before the patient passed away. “For me it was the realization of how we ﬁt into the bigger picture of hospice care,” she said. “We were able to bring peace and tranquility to her.” Amy Pearson, one of the agency’s two music therapists, supervises Welch and

has worked closely with her during the internship. “Becky has been an eager learner and is dedicated to providing quality music experiences for our hospice patients and families, stated Pearson who has been with State of the Heart for over seven years. “ Additionally, she attended Camp Bearable this summer and was an effective leader for music therapy groups. She has shown tremendous growth in just three months and I’m excited to see her continue to ﬂourish for the remainder of her internship!” Welch said part of the challenge in providing music therapy services is that there are such differences in family and patient needs. “We work on so many different levels,” she explained. She said she views music ther-

apy as a “bridge” between addressing the physical needs of the patient, by relieving pain and symptoms, easing breathing and having a calming effect, and the addressing of the psychological needs of both patient and family. “It is interesting how we work as a team to do all that we can to reach and support the needs of the patient and their family,” she said. She is not sure of the career ahead of her. Working at State of the Heart has “certainly opened up the idea of working in hospice after my experience at State of the Heart,” she said. For more information about any of the services provided by State of the Heart, visit the agency website at www. stateoftheheart. org.

ARCANUM – Before kids begin school each year, staff members of Arcanum-Butler Local Schools are extremely busy preparing classrooms, developing lessons and participating in professional development. This year the staff participated in two days of in-service that included a motivational/inspirational speaker, Dave Weber, and guest Chief Deputy Mark Whittaker, from the Darke County Sheriff’s Department. On Aug. 22, Dave Weber presented “Sticks & Stones Exposed, The Truth Behind Words and Relationships” to all of the district staff from teachers to bus drivers, and including ofﬁce staff, maintenance staff and cafete-

ria staff. Weber’s presentation focused on the importance of “relationships” and the impact that words, actions and attitudes have on the culture of schools and the performance of students. Arcanum-Butler Local Staff were inspired by Weber, who’s energetic and humorous presentation style provided insight into understanding that the success of schools is not just teaching standards and curriculum, but also providing a positive culture for students and teachers to grow. For more information about Dave Weber, visit him at www.daveweber.com or join him on twitter @dave_weber. Chief Deputy Mark Whittaker and Captain Randy Linkous from the Darke County

Sheriff’s Department were guest presenters on Aug. 25. Chief Deputy Whittaker provided training associated with the School Crisis Management Plan, the district’s plan used to address emergency situations that potentially could occur at and during school. The history of and procedures for an active shooter were part of the training as Chief Deputy Whittaker wanted teachers to know they have the “license to think” when considering response choices.

Constitution Week is Sept. 17-23 GREENVILLE – On Sept. 10, Darke County Commissioners signed a proclamation declaring Sept. 17-23 as “Constitutional Week” for all Darke County citizens. The request for the proclamation came from the Fort GreeneVille Chapter of the DAR which started the tradition of celebrating the Constitution. Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) petitioned Congress to set aside Sept. 17-23 annually to be dedicated

for the Observance of Constitution Week. President Dwight Eisenhower signed it into public law on Aug. 2, 1956. The United States Constitution stands as a testament to the tenacity of Americans throughout history to maintain their liberties and to ensure those unalienable rights to every American. Sept. 17, 2014 marks the 227th anniversary of the drafting of the Constitution of the United States of America by the Consti-

Joining Darke County Commissioners Diane Delaplane, Mike Rhoades, and Mike Stegall are DAR members Caroline Petitjean, Linda Riley, Susie Brewer, Karen Burkett, and Mary Jane Dietrich.

the ideals the framers of the constitution had in 1787.

The form and additional details are available at the Tri-County Board’s website, tcbmds.org/art.

ﬁdence, and offers hope, purpose and identity.” The Art of Recovery showcase aims to increase public awareness of mental illness and addiction issues in an effort to ﬁght the stigma that so often accompanies these diseases. The showcase will be open to public viewing from 5:30–7 p.m. in the Robinson Theater at Edison Community College in Piqua. A brief award presentation will also take place.

Darke County Health Fair set for October 7 GREENVILLE – The Darke County Health Fair Committee is excited to announce the upcoming 2014 Darke County Health Fair. The 40th annual Darke County Health Fair will be Oct. 7, in the Youth Building at Darke County Fairgrounds on State Route 49, Greenville. Hours will be from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The 2014 Health Fair, open to people of all ages, will feature over 50 different displays and many free health screenings. Attendees are welcome to play Bingo and have

a chance to win Darke County Chamber Bucks and other door prizes. As always, the health fair will be offering several tests: Wellness Panel, $50; TSH, $35; PSA, $40; Vitamin D, $ 45; Flu Shots, $25; and Mammograms $206. Chair massages and reﬂexology will be available for $1. 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,

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

The Health Fair is offering two new tests this year- Hemoglobin A1c and CBC (Complete Blood Count). The Hemoglobin A1c is a test to access glucose control in diabetics. A1c is frequently used in conjunction with glucose fasting to diagnose diabetes. The A1c is $25. Complete Blood Count (CBC or Hemogram) is a test

eStatement raises $400 for programs GREENVILLE – As a result of a spring campaign Second National Bank is donating $400 to two local organizations. The campaign was designed to increase the use of electronic bank statements among its customers. Second National pledged one dollar for every person to sign up for the free service before June 30, and the total would be split between the Darke County Park District and the Mercer County Solid Waste District.

“The result of this campaign demonstrates our customers’ desire to safeguard their ﬁnancial information as well as give back to their community,” said SNB President John Swallow. “We’re pleased to be able to extend more support to these three organizations and are very supportive of the good work they do.” “Second National’s incentive to provide an additional donation to the park district is commendable.

We are grateful for their commitment to the park district and the community,” said Roger Van Frank, director for the Darke County Parks District. SNB’s eStatement service allows customers to stop receiving their bank statements via U.S. mail and view them instead online, through secure online banking pages. The bank sends an email reminder to the customer each month when the full statement is posted. eStatements offer

4-H CLUB NEWS Osgood Jolly On June 8, the sixth meeting of the Osgood Jolly 4-H Club was called to order by President Melinda Meiring. Roll call was answered by members’ favorite summer activity. Lisa Lange gave a treasurer’s report and Sara Thwaits gave a secretary’s report. There was no health and safety reports given this month. Madisen Davis led the Pledge of Allegiance and Lauren Meiring led the 4-H motto. The club celebrated one birthday this month which was Melinda Meiring.

To start off the meeting, a former 10-year member of Osgood Jolly 4-H, Kendra (Bergman) Werling, spoke to our club about good interviewing and job skills. This was to help the members get ready for county judging next month. Kendra is employed in the Human Resources Department of Crown Equipment Corporation. Demonstrations this month were completed by several members. Madisen Davis gave a demonstration on the operations of her camera. Lauren Meiring explained

the MyPlate food guide system. Zach Kramer’s demonstration was on the effects of magnetism. Lastly, Sydney Hutchinson presented a poster on her dog project. Next meeting, we will vote on our fair booth theme. The members were asked to start thinking of ideas. The motto was said and Lisa Lange made the ﬁrst motion to adjourn the meeting and Craig Poeppelman made the second. The meeting was then adjourned and refreshments were served. Kurt Meiring, reporter

increased security, instant access to statements, and conserve paper. The green impact of eStatements comes from saving resources. Traditional statements use a significant amount of paper, ink, and result in the production of greenhouse gas. These small changes, multiplied over an organization, can have a significant environmental impact. It’s not the bank’s only contribution to the environment either. Last year the bank and its Park National Corporation affiliates saved 3,642 trees through shredding and recycling paper.

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.
