Workers are currently remodeling a portion of the old Staples building on Wagner Avenue in Greenville. Cato Fashions is expected to open in that location in mid-November.

Cato Fashions coming to Greenville GREENVILLE – When the Staples building became vacant it was only a matter of time before it was filled. Work began almost immediately to bring in Buffalo Wild Wings and more recently it was announced Rapid Fire Pizza would be moving in. Work has already begun to prepare the way for a new store to open soon in that strip on Wagner Avenue. Amy Posner of Cato Fashions confirmed they are planning to open a Greenville location by mid-November. Cato Fashions stores are already available in Eaton and Sidney. The Cato Corporation is a leading specialty retailer of value-priced fashion apparel operating three store brands – Cato Fashions, It’s Fashion/It’s Fashion Metro and Versona. They currently operate 1,300 stores in 32 states. Cato Fashions offers women’s fashion apparel

with quality comparable to mall specialty stores at low prices every day. New store prototypes oﬀer an attractive and inviting shopping experience. The success of The Cato Corporation has established their stores as an exciting and distinguished addition to any development. At Cato, you’ll ﬁnd the latest fashion styles for any occasion – work or play, dressy or casual in junior/misses and plus sizes. They also have great jewelry, shoes and accessories, too. In 1946, the company founder, Wayland Cato, left United Merchants to launch his own business with his son, Wayland Henry Cato, Jr., and Edgar Thomas. The company went public in 1968, took itself private in 1980, and then went public again in 1987. The company averted bankruptcy in the early 1990s after adopting a new discount pricing strategy and updated merchandise.

Greenville BOE approves demolition of schools GREENVILLE – The Greenville Board of Education approved a resolution Thursday, Sept. 15 authorizing solicitation of bids for the abatement and demolition of four of the district’s buildings. Collectively to be known as the “Demolition Projects,” the buildings will include Woodland Primary, Greenville Intermediate (South), Greenville Middle (East) and Greenville Junior High. The buildings will be vacated when the district’s new K-8th grade facility opens following Christmas break this school year.

The board approved the demolition bid packages and authorized the solicitation of bids for work through the state’s electronic bidding system. The resolution authorizes district treasurer Carla Surber to work with the architect and owner-agent to prepare and place the required advertisements to solicit bids. During the board work session held prior to their regular monthly meeting, Bill Garmann reported the abatement may “come in as much as a $1 million under budget.”

ARCANUM – The Darke County Sheriff’s Department and Dr. Tim Kathman, Darke County Coroner, have confirmed the names of the two victims from an airplane crash on Sept. 14 near Arcanum. Clayton M. Heins, 20, of Arcanum, was piloting the aircraft when it crashed near his home and private landing strip. Also killed in the crash was his passenger, Jacob A. Turner, 19, of Greenville. According to Chief Deputy Mark Whittaker, the two individuals were friends and had “known each other for quite sometime.” The investigation has shown the aircraft took off from a private landing strip on Dull Road on the morning of Sept. 14. Witnesses also reported seeing the plane flying in the Arcanum area the morning of the crash. At approximately 1 p.m., a resident reported to a Darke County Deputy the plane and its occupants were missing. Apparently at about the same time a family member was flying a private aircraft over the area conducting their own search for the missing air-

The wreckage of the airplane was moved to a salvage yard to be examined by the National Transportation Safety Board.

craft and its occupants. The family member spotted the downed aircraft in the cornfield from the air and called 911 to report the discovery. At this time it is unknown exactly what time the crash may have occurred. Commonly known as a Piper, the aircraft was a fabric aircraft, PA-11 manufactured in 1947. It had an 85 hp Continental engine and was known as a tail-dragger. It is a common aircraft across the country. According to Mike Folkerts, of the National Traffic Safety Board’s Central Region in Colorado (NTSB), Heins only had a student pilot certifi-

cate. “We knew he had a student pilot certificate at the time of the accident. I don’t know how many flight hours he had. As a student pilot – you have to have to your private pilot license to fly a passenger.” He admitted flying a passenger without a private pilot’s license would be against the Federal Aviation Agency’s regulations. Folkerts pointed out the crash site was about a “100-foot swath of cornfield” and didn’t appear to be a forced landing. A forced landing occurs when there are factors outside the pilot’s control, such as the failure of engines, systems and components or weather. “It

was a high-speed impact,” said Folkerts. He refused to speculate on how the crash occurred. “The thing the NTSB does is looks at three primary areas, the man, the machine and the environment,” he said. They are going to look at anything that may have affected the pilots ability to fly the aircraft, medical history, rest, certification and training. The aircraft will be tested for malfunctions and will look at its maintenance history. The NTSB will continue its investigation on the aircraft and is expected to release a preliminary report in a couple of weeks.

Friends remember Heins and Turner RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – A little more than 24-hours after the tragic death of Clayton “Clay” Heins, 20, and Jacob “Jake” Turner, 19, in an airplane crash near Arcanum, friends came together to remember, grieve and begin the healing process. The friends began arriving in the evening to Heins’ girlfriend’s home and around 9 p.m. began preparing for a balloon launch to honor their friends. The home is located across the street from Franklin Monroe Schools where nine-months ago family and friends gathered to remember two more young lives lost in a tragic accident. Hugs, tears, smiles and laughter were intertwined. “Do you remember when…” or “how about the time…” could be heard as they reminisced about their adventures with the young men. The one person who knew him better than most was his longtime girlfriend, Rhiannon Waterbury. She said airplanes were a part of his life from the time he was born. She fondly remembered a picture in his

house showing Heins as a toddler sitting in the seat of an airplane wearing the radio headphones. “He absolutely loved ﬂying,” she said. More than his passion

for ﬂying, Waterbury said she will remember his heart for everything and everybody. “No matter what anybody was going through, he was there for them,” she said.

At approximately 10:15 p.m., 30-40 of his friends sent nearly 100 balloons into the air as they remembered the two friends that lost their lives.

Man dies from heroin overdose

DRUG OVERDOSE DEATH On Sept. 11 an officer was dispatched to the 200 block of West Harmon Street in reference to a male who had overdosed. Upon arrival the officer observed Russel Cleere, laying on the garage floor and not breathing. Officers and Greenville Rescue attempted to revive Mr. Cleere, but were unable to do so. The officers began speaking with family members who reported Mr. Cleere had not been feeling well on Sept. 10. Officers also were advised Mr. Cleere had a history of heroin use. Officers located a cell phone in Mr. Cleere’s shirt pocket and found a phone number he had been text messaging. The conversation stated that he would be going to Trotwood soon and he couldn’t talk at the moment because he was with another person. He then asked the subject if he should call the number he was messaging or a different number. Family members told officers Mr. Cleere dropped them off at Walmart in Englewood on Sept. 10 and then left. A family member said she messaged him asked if he was still at Walmart. He did not reply after receiving seven additional text messages. It is believed that Mr. Cleere went to Trotwood to pick up heroin while his two family mem-

bers were at Walmart. PURSUIT/DRUGS On Sept. 10 an officer was on patrol on Plum Street at Hall Street when he observed a white Jeep Grand Cherokee fail to stop at a clearly marked stop sign. The officer identified the driver as Sterling Seiler, who had an active warrant from Greenville Police Department. The officer attempted to conduct a traffic stop. Seiler again failed to stop at several stop signs. A pursuit ensued with Seiler running stop signs and traffic lights through the downtown Greenville area. He then turned onto State Route 571 East and was traveling at speeds up to 100 mph. He then turned northbound onto Arcanum-Bears Mill Road, still traveling at a high rate of speed. Two Darke County Sheriff units responded to assist in the pursuit by deploying stop sticks. When the vehicle came to a stop, all units held the vehicle at gun point, and ordered Seiler and three passengers to exit the vehicle one at a time. They were taken into custody. After speaking with the three passengers it was determined they had no role in the high speed pursuit. They were released. An inventory of the vehicle netted two bags of marijuana, which was

taken into evidence. Seiler was transported to the Darke County Jail where he was incarcerated on the original warrant, which was for driving under suspension with 26 days to serve. He also was charged with a stop sign violation, driving under suspension, possession of marijuana and failure to comply with order or signal of a police ofﬁcer.

Yorkshire man dies in weekend crash DARKE COUNTY – A Yorkshire man lost his life last Sunday night in a crash in northern Darke County. At approximately 8 p.m. on Sept. 11, Darke County Deputies along with North Star Fire, Osgood Rescue, Ansonia Rescue, CareFlight, Darke County Coroners Ofﬁce and Mercer County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce Accident Reconstruction Team, responded to the 7100 block of North StarFt. Loramie Road in reference to a two-vehicle fatal crash. Preliminary investigation revealed a Black 2012 Toyota Camry, driven by Steven L. Knapke, 65, and front seat passenger Lois (wife), both from Yorkshire, were traveling eastbound on North Star-Ft. Loramie Road and were rear-ended by a Black 2008 Pontiac G8, driven by Dean Michael Bornhorst, 24, along with passengers Joshua A. Watercutter, 24, and Scott D. Borges, 24 all of Minster.

Knapke’s vehicle traveled off the right side of the roadway striking the side ditch and rolling several times before coming to rest on its top in the roadway. Bornhorst’s vehicle traveled off the left side of the roadway into the ditch spinning around and facing back westbound. Steven Knapke was pronounced dead at the scene, and his wife was transported to Wayne HealthCare by Ansonia Rescue. Mrs. Knapke was later transported to Miami Valley Hospital by Spirit Medical Transport. Bornhorst was flown to Miami Valley Hospital by CareFlight, and his two passengers were treated and released at the scene. Alcohol and speed are suspected contributing factors in this crash. This marks the fifth fatal crash this year in Darke County. This accident remains under investigation by the Darke County Sheriff’s Office.

ON YOUR MIND

OPERS trustee will speak to PERI group GREENVILLE – Steve Toth, who was elected to the Ohio Public Employee Retirees (OPERS) Board of Trustees in 2014, and serves as its Retiree Representative, will be the guest speaker at a luncheon meeting sponsored by the Darke County Chapter of Public Employee Retirees, Inc. (PERI). The meeting will be Oct. 3, 11:30 a.m., at the VFW on Ohio Street, Greenville. Reservations for the luncheon, which is $9 per person, must be in by Sept. 28. Retirees, who are not members of PERI but who are eligible to retire with OPERS pensions, are welcome to attend by calling Vivian Nieport, Attendance and Contact Chairman, at 548-3961. PERI members will be contacted as usual by the PERI calling committee. Toth, who retired with 30 years of service in human resources administration, was also a member of PERI before he became one of 11 members who comprise the OPERS Board of Trustees.

In light of a recent OPERS bulletin conﬁrming that OPERS is the largest public pension system in Ohio, the 11th largest in the nation and supports more than 1 million members and retirees. Faced by the increasing costs of health care and prescription drugs that threatened the future solvency of their health care system, OPERS trustees decided to select Towers Watson to administer their Medicare Connector. As a result, it has been able to offer OPERS retirees more health care plan choices at more affordable prices. Toth will focus not only on past and present concerns, but also on what OPERS Health Care Plan Recipients can expect during the pending Open Enrollment Period, which will take place between Oct. 15 and Dec. 7 of this year. As a result, PERI urges everyone who is planning to attend his presentation to read the OPERS 2017 Open Enrollment Bulletin that was sent out the ﬁrst week of September.

Electricity Aggregation vote explained DARKE CO. – Residents in several Southwestern Ohio communities will have the opportunity to join their community with others in negotiating lower bulk electricity rates. Greenville will be joined by the villages of Ansonia and Wayne Lakes. Each will have the opportunity to approve a ballot question on Nov. 8, which would allow the residents and small businesses of each community, currently being served by DP&L, to participate in the negotiations to establish a “bulk electricity rate”. Deregulation of the electric supply industry has been in place for several years in Ohio. However, just recently, communities have found that joining together for bulk purchasing power has proven to deliver the lowest competitive rates for the longest terms, from the most qualiﬁed suppliers. With deregulation of electric supply in general, residents remain a customer with DP&L, the local utility. Residents continue to receive their bills from DP&L and continue to call DP&L for any service related issues. The only change residents and small businesses will see is a lower rate on their DP&L bill, for the actual electricity used each month. The details of electricity aggregation are simple. First, the residents of each community vote “YES” to approve a ballot question that allows their community to be included in the bulk negotiations. Second, the communities will collectively seek bids from qualiﬁed electricity suppliers who are willing and interested in competing to win thousands of customers at one time instead of

trying to gain one customer at a time through expensive marketing tactics such as direct mail and door to door sales efforts. With a successful rate and term agreed to, all eligible residents and small businesses are automatically enrolled in the new lower rate. However, there is no obligation to participate. If a resident chooses to opt-out of the “bulk negotiated rate” they are free to do so without penalty. At a later date, that resident is also allowed to opt-in to the rate if they find it is the best rate available. There is zero risk to a resident. The rate is simply established due to the bulk enrollments and remains a viable fixed rate for the negotiated term. Those residents that have chosen a competitive supplier generally have some type of contract and won’t be automatically included. Upon expiration of any existing contracts, those residents will be allowed to opt-in to the “bulk rates” and will be able to take advantage of the rate established for the remainder of the negotiated term. Top tier suppliers such as AEP Energy, Dynegy (formerly Duke Energy), IGS (and the former DP&L Energy Resources company) and Constellation, the nation’s largest competitive electricity supplier, have already submitted prequalification packets stating their intent to compete for the collective group of communities. For more information regarding your community’s upcoming aggregation vote, residents can visit www.AffordableElectricRates.com.

BPW hears candidates for two contested races BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Addressing what they believe to be some of Darke County’s greatest issues, four local candidates spoke to the Greenville Business and Professional Women’s (BPW) Club during the group’s regular monthly meeting, Sept. 9, at the Brethren Retirement Community. Voters in Darke County will see two contested races on their Nov. 8 ballot – county prosecuting attorney and one county commission seat, which is being vacated by Diane Delaplane. The two candidates seeking Delaplane’s seat include Republican Matthew Aultman and Democrat Leon Rogers. The two candidates for prosecuting attorney are incumbent R. Kelly Ormsby III and David H. Rohrer. The county commission candidates responded to a question asked by a BPW member: What do you feel will be the toughest thing to solve (in Darke County) besides heroin? Both men said they believe the county’s ﬁnances top their concerns. “Financial resolve, upkeep of the county’s buildings,” Aultman said were his concerns. Rogers answered with “expenditures are something you need to keep in check, but (continue) to spend the money to keep things going. Expenditures are a tough one to crack.” When asked about the recently approved $10 license plate fee passed by current commissioners, Aultman told the audience the fee was “going to be a hot topic. We need money for road work. The roads need to be looked at a little tougher than they (currently) are. I feel $10 tax will reduce the number of licenses sold in the county.” Aultman said he’d had several local farmers indicate to

him they would not purchase tags for trailers or wagons, but would display slow-moving vehicle signs instead – to avoid paying the $10 fee. The fee, Aultman said may “cost the county tens of thousands of dollars.” Rogers also addressed the recently passed license fee, which takes effect in January 2018. The owner of six vehicles compared paying a $60 fee to ordering pizza three times throughout the year. “I can make the decision to downsize my ﬂeet or make the decision to pay it. The tax (fee) and what the commissioners are doing will affect the community on down the future. The bridges and roads need repairs.” Aultman concluded the discussion saying the bigger question was “who’s going to be out next county engineer? (Jim) Surber’s the most conservative man I know.” Both candidates for county prosecuting attorney agreed that drugs – speciﬁcally heroin – are Darke County’s most pressing social issue at this time. Rohrer, a local attorney, told the BPW “Darke County’s a lot different than when I came down here. Greenville has

changed. Heroin has become an increased epidemic.” If elected, Rohrer said he would hire an investigator to specifically work on drug issues. “There’s not been an investigator in the Darke County Prosecutor’s Office for 10-12 years,” Rohrer explained. The person he would advocate working as a drug investigator would possibly be a retired law enforcemebt officer, he said. Rohrer said he also advocates shutting down a couple Greenville motels, where he said drug activity is increasing. Other drug-related issues Rohrer addressed was offering more drug rehabilitation services and longer prison sentences for drug traffickers to “keep people who are selling drugs out of Darke County. I would work with Judge (Jon) Hein.” Ormsby said he agreed with Rohrer that the biggest issue facing the county now is the drug problem. “There’s young people in court every day who say they are up to eight to ten capsules a day,” Ormsby

explained, noting that at $10 per capsule, young people are turning to stealing to support a $100 a day habit. “This leads to other crimes – daylight burglaries,” he said, which includes stealing money, checkbooks, firearms, and other valuables to sell for cash to buy drugs. “That’s driving the crime problem,” Ormsby said of drug use. “A lot of our crime is related to drug activity.” Ormsby also said he would continue to support education efforts. “I have tried to support the anti-drug efforts,” he said, including a pilot program with area schools. Local officials are predicting 20 heroin/drug deaths for 2017, Ormsby said, also noting that local officials were administering the opiate antidote Narcan two to three times per day to those who were overdosing. The BPW meets monthly except during the summer months. The Oct. 13 meeting will be “What a Girl Wants,” and will include appetizers by J’s County Market, door prizes and a cash bar, a silent auction and super raffle. A special shopping experience by LulaRoe, a company offering trendy clothing at pop-up boutiques, also will be held. Attendees will be able to try on clothing and watch a style show for tips and tricks by stylist Tracy Wheeler. Other vendors for the evening include Origami Owl, Brown Bay Soap Company, Merle Norman, Pampered Chef, Scentsy, Damsel in Defense and more.

Ansonia goes to the wire in win over Newton GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

ANSONIA – The Ansonia Lady Tigers improved to 10-1 on the season defeating the Newton Lady Indians but not before the visitors took the home team to the wire in ﬁve games. “That was a crazy game,” said Ansonia coach Craig Riethman. “I’m proud of the girls. It could have went either way.” Ansonia won games one and two by scores of 25-21 and 25-15 only to have the Lady Indians battle back to take games three and four by scores of 25-23 and 27-25. “Our record is very good but at the same time

we have a lot of room to grow,” Riethman stated. The fifth and deciding game had the visitors getting on the board first with the Lady Tigers battling back in a game that saw five ties. The final tie came at 7-7 before the Ansonia girls pushed their lead to 12-8 on their way to a 15-11 Cross County Conference Victory. Game one had the Lady Tigers jumping out to an 8-1 lead and never trail in the game. Game two also had Ansonia leading the entire game including a 7-0 run to stretch its lead from 13-11 to 20-11 and win by a 25-15 score. Game three saw the visitors get their first lead of the night at 5-4 and

take a six point lead at 1913 before the Lady Tigers battled back to trail 24-23 before falling 25-23. Game four had Ansonia jumping out to a 10-1 lead only to have the Lady Indians rebound to tie the score at 24-24 and take the lead at 25-24. The Lady Tigers made it a 25-25 game before the visitors scored the final two points to win 27-25 sending the match to the fifth and deciding game. Ansonia’s 15-11 game five win gave the Lady Tigers win No. 10 on the season. “It was an all-around team win,” said Riethman. “Game five no one really stood out. We were able to limit our mistakes…make fewer mistakes than they

TROJANS SHUTDOWN TRAIL

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

VERSAILLES – A match-up between two undefeated Darke County teams had the Greenville freshmen football team keeping their unblemished record in tact by defeating the Versailles Tigers 12-8 on the Tigers’ home turf. “It’s a nice victory,” said Greenville freshman coach Bart Schmidt. “A lot of adversity, kids getting injured, kids playing positions that they have never played before.” “That’s what it takes to win games like this,” added Schmidt. “People willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done.” The Green Wave got on the board ﬁrst with 0:12 showing on the ﬁrst period clock with Wave quarterback Tyler Beyke running around the right end to give Greenville a

6-0 lead. Greenville used a twominute drive to take a 12-0 lead to the halftime break by way of a nineyard touchdown pass from Beyke to Marcus Wood with 0:13 remaining in the second quarter of play. “Who would have thought that a two-min-

ute drive at the end of the ﬁrst half would be the difference maker,” said Schmidt. Versailles made it a 12-6 score with Michael Stammen pulling in a Ryan Martin six-yard touchdown pass at 0:25 in the third period. Martin connected with Nathan Wagner good for a two-point conversion sending the teams to the ﬁnal period of play with the Green Wave owning a 12-8 lead. The fourth-quarter had both teams on the defensive side of the ball keeping the period scoreless, but not before Coach Schmidt asked his team from a sideline timeout if they wanted to ‘go for it’

resulting in a successful fourth-and-one in Versailles territory with under a minute in the game keeping the drive alive and running out the clock for the Greenville win. “In the back of my mind I was going to go for it,” said Schmidt. “I just didn’t feel comfortable punting right there. We needed a yard. We were getting a yard whenever we wanted it throughout the night.” “I had faith in the line that they would go get it for me and seal the victory,” added Schmidt. “The kids did an outstanding job. I have faith in them. It’s a good group of kids and they are willing to do whatever it takes.”

The Arcanum volleyball team made quick work of visiting National Trail Thursday evening. The Lady Trojans took the Cross County Conference match in three straight sets for the victory. The Arcanum JV also shutout Trail in two sets. Saturday afternoon, Arcanum will host Greenville in a nonconference match. See more photos from the match at bluebagmedia. com/photos.

Jets Soccer comes out on top in rivalry game BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

PITSBURG – Not only do Franklin Monroe and Newton share a conference they also share a rivalry in soccer that is hard match. On Tuesday, the two top teams in the league met head-to-head on the newly renovated ﬁeld at Franklin Monroe. As it has been for many years, the matchup proved to be energetic physical. After 80-minutes of play, the Jets came out on top with a 2-0 victory. FM Coach Danny Diceanu said, “We played with good spirit tonight. I thought our energy was good and our emotion was good. It’s always a heated battle with Newton. It’s a nice rivalry. It used to be

real dirty; now it’s more physical and respect. We’ve both come to mutually respect each other and know it’s going to be a tough game regardless of the record.” The Jets seemed to dominate from the start and kept pressure on the Newton defense the entire game. Although they had 13 shots on goal in the ﬁrst half, Franklin Monroe was unable to get on the board until Brydon Diceanu found the back of the net with 6:34 remaining in the period. In the second half, FM continued to dominate, but couldn’t ﬁnish their drives. With 11:20 to go in the game, Diceanu again scored and gave the Jets a more comfortable lead. While Diceanu did all the scoring, his father,

Coach Diceanu, says the star of the game was Jacob Shellabarger. “Jake was actually a workhorse and created a lot of opportunities. He was all over the ﬁeld and causing problems for them. He was a handful for them.” Coach Diceanu explained Newton was the toughest opponent his team had faced so far this season. “We just seemed to rise with the opponent,” he said. The competition doesn’t get any easier. On Saturday they play a team out of the Cincinnati area in Seven Hills. “A whole different animal comes to town,” he said. “This was a good warm up for it.” Franklin Monroe is now 5-0 on the season.

Coach Danny Diceanu called Jacob Shellabarger the “star of the game” for the problems he caused in Newton’s defense.

Wave eighth-grade football team grounds Aviators at home BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Wave eighth-graders crushed the visiting Vandalia-Butler Aviators 35-8 Wednesday night. “They were ready,” said Greenville coach Matt Holzapfel. “They needed this one bad. They played almost ﬂawless both sides of the ball…special teams, everything.” The teams traded fum-

bles in under two-minutes of play to start the game but it was all Greenville over the balance of the game. The Wave got on the board ﬁrst with 6:10 in the ﬁrst with 5’6” 125 pound Ty Ferguson running the ball in from six yards out to give Greenville a 6-0 lead. “That’s where it started tonight,” Holzapfel said of the Wave offensive line. “You can see the difference in the ballgame in the way

that they played.” Logan Sibery’s PAT kick split the uprights pushing the Wave’s lead to 7-0. With the Wave defense digging in, the Aviators were force to punt setting up a Lane Hartzell TD punt return extending Greenville’s lead to 13-0. Sibery made his second PAT kick of the night putting the Wave up 14-0 at 4:25 in the ﬁrst. The visitors received the opening kick of the second

Lady Wave topples Trotwood BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Lady Wave varsity volleyball team picked up back-to-back wins handily defeating the visiting Trotwood-Madison Rams 3-0. “I think we are in a stretch now where the girls feel confident especially after getting two wins in a row,” said Greenville coach Chelsea Dowd. “They see what they can do when they play consistently and play confidently.” Game one had Greenville trailing 15-17 before going on a four-point run to lead 19-17. “It’s frustrating when they come out slow but it seems to be our MO,” said Dowd. “That’s something we need to work on especially in a game like that when you should come our really strong, but they stepped it up and in the second a third game they played exactly the way that I wanted them to… and at the end of the first (game).” The game saw 11-ties with the final at 17-17 in the Wave’s four point run. Leading 21-18, Greenville took advantage of its second four point run to

win 25-18. “In that first game we missed a lot of serves,” said Dowd. “We brought it in after the first game and we said, ‘serves over and in’, that’s all we need to do and they did exactly that.” The Lady Wave bolted out to a 7-0 game two advantage with Logan Tabler at the serving line. Greenville got their first double-digit lead at 14-4 before the Rams played even making a 19-9 game only to have the Wave outscore the visitors 6-1 to take the second set 25-10. “The freshmen in particular, the first year varsity players have stepped it up considerably,” Dowd said. “We have had some really tough losses but I think it’s made them stron-

ger on the ﬂoor and more mentally tough. They’re not afraid to go up and be aggressive. They are conﬁdent when they touch the ball and that’s the way that it needs to be.” Game three had the Lady Wave leading 5-1 with Trotwood closing to 7-4 before GHS freshman Morgan Gilbert stepped to the serving line with the Lady Wave running off 15 straight points to lead 22-5 and win game three 25-6. “Those two in particular,” Dowd said of Tabler and Gilbert’s serving. “They went on a run. They kept going, kept going…it was like we are never going to get out of this rotation.” Cassie Cromwell had 3 kills and 3 blocks and Emma Klosterman 2 kills and a block. At the serving line Gilbert had 10 aces, Tabler 5 and Koryann Elliott 3. Tabler led the team with 20 assists and Brooke Stachler added 13. “It feels really good,” coach Dowd said of the team’s second win of the season. “Last year we didn’t have our second victory until the end of the season and at this point we’re at a little bit under halfway through.”

Sibery stayed perfect on the night nailing his ﬁfth PAT kick upping Greenville’s lead to 35-0 at 1:29 in the thrid. Logan Sibery is phenomenal,” Holzapfel said of his 5’8” 140 pound kicker. “He’s just a born natural kicker. He hits it every single time almost. We are very proud of him on the team this year.”

The Wave defense stopped the Aviators on a fourth and one QB keeper from Greenville’s seven turning the ball over the Wave at 5:35 in the fourth. Butler escaped a shutout tossing a 16 yard TD pass with 0:43 remaining in the game. With a two point pass conversion good, the Wave had a 35-8 GWOC victory.

ARCANUM – Despite the threat of widespread rain Saturday morning, nearly 1,500 riders from all over the country took part in the 10th annual Tour De Donut in Arcanum. Riders, from as far away as Washington state and Alaska, consumed thousands of donuts in one of three courses. Just like in years past, the Tour De Donut consisted of the shorter 16 mile course, a 32 mile and the full 64 mile ride called the ‘Double D’. The bicyclists traveled through Darke and Preble counties, making “donut stops” for overall time deductions. Though many donuts were consumed by several riders, the record of 48 do-

half only to have 5’3” 115 pound Jace Bunger return an interception 33 yards for a Wave score good for a 20-0 lead at 6:11 in the third. “I don’t know how many tackles for losses…had a couple sacks in there,” said Holzapfel. “Most important was the interception taken back for six and the punt return by Lane Hartzell taken for a touchdown. That’s what swung the momentum our way.” Greenville made it a 21-0 advantage with Sibery nailing his third PAT kick of the game. The Wave again forced a Butler punt at 4:04 in the third paving the way for a 41 yard Ferguson TD run. A Sibery PAT kick had the Wave owning a 28-8 lead at 3:44 in the third. It took the Wave just 44 seconds to get the ball back by way of a fumble recovery leading to a Ferguson 26 yard touchdown run.

Prairie Days to offer glimpse into pioneer living BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – The 16th annual Prairie Days, hosted by the Darke County Park District, promises to be “one of the best yet,” according to naturalist Hannah Wiest. “We’re really excited about it this year,” Wiest said. “It was advertised in this month’s publication of Ohio Magazine and they’ve featured us quite a bit. They will have a booth out here for Prairie Days.” The family-friendly event, set for 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24 and from 12-5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 25, will take place at Shawnee Prairie Preserve, 4267 State Route 502, Greenville and will feature a variety. of demonstrations and events celebrating the pioneer way of life. New to Prairie Days this year will be a farm petting zoo hosted by Greenville High School’s FFA program. “They are super excited about that,” Wiest said of the FFA members. Other demonstrators returning for Prairie Days include Frank Rouse of Indianapolis who will be making natural straw brooms. “He’s become an extremely popular demonstrator,” Wiest said, noting Rouse has taught several

broom making classes for the park district. “He’s one of our newer and very popular demonstrators here at the park. He came last winter and did a demo. We had so many people on the waiting list we had to double” his appearances, Wiest explained. “He’s been making brooms since he was 10 years old, when he learned from his grandfather.” Also planned is wool carding, spinning and weaving demonstrations by Coldwater Alpacas, a how-to demonstration on chair weaving, and a Native American ﬂutist, among others. Park district volunteers will be demonstrating blacksmithing and making apple butter in a copper kettle as well baking cookies and breads in the preserve’s Cob oven. Samples will be available near the oven but guests also will be able to purchase the baked items in the Prairie Days General Store, which will be located in a tent on park grounds. Volunteers also will be making homemade sorghum from plants grown at Shawnee Prairie, Wiest said. Workers began preparing the plants this past week by removing the seed head, which allows the juice to become sweeter. The cane stalks are then cut close to the ground.

Leaves are removed and the canes are run through a press to extract the juice, which is boiled to become sorghum – similar to molasses, Wiest said.

IN MEMORIAM

Tony Hughes In Loving Memory Nov. 29, 1957 Sept. 22, 2014

I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new I thought about you yesterday and days before that too. I think of you in silence I often speak your name All I have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is my keepsake with which I’ll never part God has you in his keeping and I have you in my heart. Sadly missed by Mom, Dad & Family

“We’ll have some for sale and have demos of pressing and boiling the sorghum during Prairie Days,” she explained. Another popular Prairie Days visitor is Schoolmarm Lara Askill from Seven Mile, Ohio. “The schoolmarm is coming back,” Wiest said. “She’s really good about grabbing the kids and telling them to ‘go to school.’ She’ll also have a recess complete with pioneer kids games.” Other local participants will include the Annie Oakley Center Foundation with a rubber band gun shooting booth, the Darke County Civic Theatre, with melodrama performances and the Greenville Art Guild, with a display of local artists’ work in the Nature Center. Scheduled musical entertainment will be bands including Silver Grass, Berachah Valley, Tinsmith and new this year will be the Darke County Dulcimer and Folk Music Society. Visitors won’t want to miss the 18th century long 425 Memorial Dr. Greenville, OH 45331

hunters encampment, Wiest said. “We usually have around a dozen tents and camps set up, most usually doing a long hunter display – a man who has gone out into the wilderness to earn a living.” Several non-proﬁt food vendors will be selling a variety of food items during Prairie Days, as well as Just Ice Cream from Farmer Brown’s in Arcanum. Parking for Prairie Days is free and will be available in the ﬁeld adjacent to the preserve’s entrance as well as at the Triangle, 4035 State Route 502, with

Greenville Transit offering rides back to the preserve. A very limited section of handicap parking will be available at the nature center, Wiest said. “We’re expecting a record turnout,” she said. “We’ve been growing every year and the event seems to have become a family staple – even by people from out of the area. We’re pretty excited.” For a complete Prairie Days schedule, visit the Darke County Park District’s website at darkecountyparks.org.

Celebrating the foundation of America GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In recognition of Constitution Week, Greenville Acting Mayor John Burkett signed a Constitution Week Proclamation in the presence of Fort GreeneVille Chapter DAR members. There are two documents of paramount importance to American history: the Declaration of Independence, which forged our national identity, and the United States Constitution, which set forth the framework for the federal government that is still in use today. While Independence Day

is a beloved national holiday, fewer people know about Constitution Week, an annual commemoration of the living document that upholds and protects the freedoms central to our American way of life. This year, the annual celebration began Sept. 17. The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) initiated the observance in 1955, when the organization petitioned the U.S. Congress to dedicate September 17â&#x20AC;&#x201C;23 of each year to the commemoration of Constitution Week. Congress adopted the resolution, and on August 2, 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed it into Public Law #915. The celebrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals are threefold: to encourage the study of the historical events that led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787; to inform people that the Constitution is the basis of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great heritage and the foundation of our way of life; and to emphasize U.S. citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; responsibility to protect, defend and preserve the Constitution. DAR has been the foremost advocate for the awareness, promotion and celebration of Consti-

This annual observance provides innumerable opportunities for educational initiatives and community outreach, two mission areas of crucial importance to the National Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. By fostering knowledge of and appreciation for the Constitution and the inalienable rights it affords to all Americans, DAR helps to keep alive the memory of the men and women who secured our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s independence, whose bravery and sacriďŹ ce made possible the liberties we enjoy today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The framers created

Heroes honored during Patriot’s Day commemoration BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdnewspaper.com

GREENVILLE – According to Principal Chris Mortensen, only four students currently attending Greenville Junior High were born when the United States was attacked by terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001. On Friday, Sept. 9, the four joined fellow class-

mates, staff and representatives from the area’s ﬁrst responders and veteran’s organizations, to commemorate the 15th anniversary of 9/11 during a Patriot Day ceremony. Patriot Day has been established as the of�icial National Day of Service and Remembrance for those who lost their lives on 9/11. Sept. 11, 2001, was a

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

for this company is that I can take a small piece of a loved one’s life…Papaw’s favorite shirt, Mom’s favorite pajamas/robe, or their son’s or daughter’s favorite article of clothing, and transform that past possession into a huggable bear that carries the spirit of the owner and provides comfort to those that are left behind.” If you would like to contact Karron about ordering an Unforgettable Bear, you can reach her at 937 4596224, e-mail hossandme@ gmail.com or get more information on the web at www.unforgettablebear. vpweb.com. She is now taking Christmas orders.

day that “changed our lives forever,” Mortensen told his students. “Today, 15 years later we honor lives lost” as well as the heroes who responded to the attacks. Nearly 3,000 lives were lost, including approximately 400 police and fire fighters, and more than 6,000 injured during the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington, Va. and in a plane that crashed in a field outside Shanksville, Pa. It is believed terrorists diverted the flight, which was originally headed for San Francisco to a target in Washington, D.C. – either the White House or U.S. Capitol Building - until their plans were thwarted by passengers on the flight. Mortenson reminded students their 2016-17 school year theme is “Be a Hero” and urged students to think about how they can make a positive impact on their world. Guest speaker for the Patriot’s Day commemoration was Greenville High School Class of 1968 grad Fred Dohse. Dohse, a retired U.S. Navy nuclear submarine captain, said the Greenville “community remains a special place for me.” The events of 9/11,

Dohse said, brought the country together in a way he had never experienced. “People came together,” he said, noting that some of that patriotism seen following 9/11 has been lost. “My challenge for you junior high students – in six years or less you will graduate. What kind of society will the United States be in your lifetime?” Dohse also said one of the greatest lessons he learned from his parents and from growing up in Greenville was that “our

diversity and independence of thought are our greatest strengths. How will you apply these principles in your life? Will you be a hero? How will you meet the challenges your generation will most certainly see? Do not take this responsibility lightly. You are blessed to live in a special place.” The Patriot’s Day commemoration also included a presentation by the Greenville High School’s NJROTC, a moment of silence was conducted at 8:46 a.m. – the time the

first plane hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center - as well as recognition of the Greenville Police Department, Greenville Fire Department, Greenville Township Rescue, Greenville Township Fire Department, Spirit Medical Transport, Darke County Sheriff’s Office, American Legion, VFW, and Darke County Veterans Services. Students in Julia Slyder’s class presented a representative from each of the organizations a popcorn bowl and certificate.

Students on the road to serving in support of Special Olympics GREENVILLE - Who can honestly say picking up trash while serving the community is a LOAD of Fun? Greenville’s Supply Chain Management Junior students never could have dreamed the fun time they would have working together, getting their hands dirty while assisting in the clean-up of an Eldora Campground after the World 100. Sunday, Sept. 11, the Supply Chain Management students rolled into Eldora with no clear picture of their duties, but each of them were ready to work. Eleven SCM Juniors, along with their teacher and family spent the next three hours zigging and zagging picking up full bags of trash along with mapping ﬂags and stakes.

Greenville’s Supply Chain Management students recently helped clean up Eldora Campground to raise money for Special Olympics.

“I never knew doing the trash would be so much fun,” Jake Buchy said. This is the ﬁrst time the group participated in the opportunity but, they plan to go again anytime they are

asked. Kaleb Anderson explained, ”it feels great to help out and it really isn’t bad.” SCM raises money throughout the year for Darke County Special

Olympics which is Business Professionals of America’s national service project. During the past two years SCM has raised just over $13,000, which remained right here in Darke County. All SCM teammates are also members of Business Professionals of America, a Career Tech Student Organization. BPA is one way we are helping our students to develop professionalism and leadership skills. According to the SCM instructor, Dara Buchy, “these students work hard in every challenge they face and their passion for Special Olympics is amazing.” If your organization is in need of a few helping hands feel free to reach out to dbuchy@gcswave.com.

Myers was sworn in as the new captain of the GFD Tuesday morning at a ceremony in the council chambers of the city building. The 30-year-old Myers was joined by his wife of two years, Lacie and 6-monthold daughter Kenzie during the swearing in ceremony with City Council President John Burkett. Myers has been with the department for over nine years. “This has been a goal of mine since I started here,” Myers told The Early Bird. “We have had a lot of changes lately and I’m definitely excited about the direction

the department is going.” As Myers mentioned, the Greenville Fire Department has recently undergone several changes at top-level positions lately with the retirements of Chief Mark Wolf and Assistant Chief David McDermitt – just a month apart of each other. Despite the changes, the experienced young staﬀ is working through the transition phase and are embracing their new leadership roles. “Daniel Myers has displayed positive leadership qualities both as a lieutenant and as IAFF L1101 president. I have no doubt in his future success and the development of his full leadership potential as a captain,” Chief Russ Thompson said about Myers. Along with being sworn in as the new GFD captain, Daniel and his wife Lacie also celebrated their two-year wedding anniversary Tuesday.

GREENVILLE – It’s ofﬁcial. The city of Greenville has a new mayor. On Sept. 13 at 5 p.m., Steve Willman took the oath of oﬃce to be installed as Greenville’s newest mayor. He was joined by his family as his wife, Roxanne Willman (Greenville City Auditor) held the Bible and Juvenile Court Judge Jason Aslinger gave the oath. Several department heads and city employees were in the audience as the oath was taken including Acting Mayor John Burkett. Burkett joked saying he was there because he wanted to make sure everything went as planned so he didn’t have to be mayor anymore. Burkett will now return to his position of President of Council. Willman, a 1971 Greenville High School graduate, worked for Corning, Inc. for 30-years. He has also

served the community on numerous boards, including Darke County United Way and Boys and Girls Club of Greenville. His top priority with the city is improving communications with its departments and the public. He said he will have an open door policy. While there has been some concern with both Willmans serving in elected positions, the Ohio Ethics Commission has ruled there is no conflict of interest with his wife serving as auditor and him serving as mayor. The Republican Central Committee is now tasked with filling Willman’s vacancy on City Council. Willman began serving the city’s fourth ward earlier this year. The Republican Party is now seeking applicants from the fourth ward to fill that seat. Dave Keiser noted the party has 45 days (from Sept. 9) to fill that seat. Resumes are being accepted by the party until Sept. 23. If more than

two or three applications are received the candidates will be screened and a recommendation made to the precinct chairmen. The precinct chairmen will choose Willman’s successor. The fourth ward includes an area west of East Main at the Traﬃc Circle and north of South Broadway to the Martha Benkert Bridge and north beyond Russ Road with portions extending to Childrens Home-Bradford Road. Persons interested in ﬁll-

ing the position can send a resume to the Darke County Republican Party, PO Box 45, Greenville, Ohio 45331 or to Cindy Pike at cindypike@darkegop.org. The deadline is Sept. 23. The appointment will be temporary as there will be an election to ﬁll the remainder of the term in 2017. Republicans and Democrats interested in running will be required to run in the May Primary Election with the General Election in November.

Harmon Field sees repairs; events moved SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE - Due to unsatisfactory field conditions, Greenville City Schools has announced it will be moving events off of Harmon Field through Thursday, Sept. 22. “We aerated and reseeded it today,” Superintendent Doug Fries said late Wednesday afternoon. According to Dusty Yingst, athletic director, Mac Athletics of Minster completed the repair work on Harmon Field on Wednesday. Fries said recent rain can be attributed to causing damage to the field. “We play both football and soccer on the field. There’s been four or five times where there’s been events out there with hard rains,” Fries explained. Work included putting a top dressing on the damaged field, Fries said. “Then they’ll drag it and level it

back out. We have a little bit of a window before the next game,” he said, speaking of the Sept. 23 home football game. “We’ve got to stay off of it, which is why we’ve rescheduled some games.” According to school treasurer Carla Surber, the field repair will cost the district approximately $8,000. “The money will come from the Good Samaritan fund,” Surber explained of donations made to Greenville Schools from the hospital for field upkeep. The hospital has been making donations to the district for the past five years, she added. “It’s an unfortunate thing, but we don’t want the children to get hurt,” she said of the unbudgeted expense. Fries also said this week’s repairs will not interfere with proposed plans by Friends of Harmon Field to upgrade and renovate the district’s football field and track areas. The group is currently conducting a fundraising

eﬀort to construct an 8-lane track as well as install a synthetic ﬁeld at Harmon Field. Harmon Field Schedule Change Sept. 14 – Eighth Grade Football vs. Butler has been moved to the Youth Football Field at the High School at 5:30 pm.

Project manager: K-8 building will be done on time SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville’s new K-8th grade building is due to be completed in just two months. During the Thursday, Sept. 15, board of education’s work session, project manager Steve Schroeder of Shook Touchstone construction promised board members that it will happen. “Will we be completely done with everything? No. We’ll have our fair share of items after that,” Schroeder said, mentioning last minute projects such as polishing. Shroeder’s report on work taking place at the construction site was briefly interrupted when board member Dave Madden

questioned why no work crews were at the site on Saturday, Sept. 10, when he stopped by at 12:30 p.m. Madden said he saw and spoke with only one worker. Shroeder had just told the board that there were “10 top-notch painters on overtime” at the building “six days a week” when Madden posed his question. Schroeder admitted he was unsure why workers were not on site last weekend. Madden told Schroeder that answer was “unacceptable.” A heated discussion followed, with Madden telling Schroeder he didn’t want to hear that answer again. Madden also said he’d spoken with “other board members and the superintendent” about seeing no workers at the building

Sept. 10. “Just to let you know, we are paying attention,” he told Madden, to which Shroeder responded “I know you are. When your students enter this building we will have things taken care of. We will take care of any problem that’s out there.” Superintendent Doug Fries told Schroeder he was “concerned about the sequence of some of the work” being completed and was pleased to hear Schroeder report that some of the projects had been “ﬂipped” so work could proceed in a timely fashion. Board president Fred Matix said he was concerned that residents driving by the construction site were skeptical that the project would be completed in time for the proposed January move in schedule.

“We keep telling the taxpayers ‘were going to be done,’” he said. Schroeder reassured Matix. “You’re not going to get a problem building,” Schroeder said. “You’re going to get the building you purchased.” Work being completed within the next few weeks include the last of the green roofing panels being installed; flooring, including carpet squares, terrazzo, and gym flooring.

Local kid interviews RG3 as junior reporter CLEVELAND – When school bells begin to ring and the ﬁrst nips of autumn creep in to the morning air, hearts and minds in Ohio turn to football! For some it’s high school Friday nights. Others feed on Saturday college games. Some make it their Sunday past time, and others thrive on all three. Regardless of the level of play you enjoy viewing; football can be addictive and intense! For many boys, meeting the players they grow up watching is like a dream come true, and that was no exception for Grant Beasley. A sixth grader at Versailles Middle School, Grant’s been an avid Cleveland Browns fan since he was old enough to start watching their games. As an added birthday surprise this spring, his family decided to take him to the second annual Fanfest at FirstEnergy Stadium on May 14. What a treat to see many of his favorite players, get autographs, and enjoy a day of all things Browns! Little did he know, that was just the beginning… While at Fanfest, Grant participated in a mock-interview.

It was just a passing thing while going through the day, and he didn’t think much of it until he was contacted a few weeks later. The Browns liked what they saw during his interview, and Grant was invited to come to training camp in Berea as a Browns Junior Reporter. With only a few kids selected, it was an amazing and exhilarating honor and opportunity! Grant, along with his family, got up while it was still dark on July 31 and headed for Berea. From the moment they arrived, they were given the VIP treatment. Taken behind the scenes, provided free fan gear, introduced to Hue Jackson and the coaching staff and more, the Beasleys (Jeff, Jodi, Gabriella, Grant, Gideon and Gracyn) experienced a fantastic fan-centered day at training camp. Grant was given the opportunity to interview RG3 (Robert Griffin III), as well as meet and get autographs from players like Joe Haden (Grant’s personal favorite), Gary Barnidge, Josh McCown, Demario Davis, John Hughes, Christian Kirksey, Nate Or-

chard, Tramon Williams and more. I think it’s pretty safe to say, he’s a fan for life! While any real Cleveland Browns fan has probably experienced more lows than highs over the last few decades, the scales tipped immeasurably towards the positive for this young fan and his family on that day. When asked about the highlight of his day, Grant said the best thing was interviewing RG3. He found him to be a funny guy and had a good time running questions like, “Would you rather never shave your face or never cut your hair?” and “How many of me would it take to tackle you?” past him in their discussion. He had the chance to talk with several of the others players following interviews with

the other Junior Reporters, which he thought was awesome! Getting to meet Joe Haden again was also a thrill. Joe is Grant’s personal favorite player, and he is such a classy character. According to Jodi Beasley, Joe really got down and took time with the kids. He made it all about them and made the kids feel like it was an honor to be spending time with them rather than the other way around. For you fans heading to the stadium this season, look for Grant to appear bigger than life with RG3 on the Jumbotron Sunday, Sept. 18 as the Browns take on the Baltimore Ravens. Grant’s interview can also be found on YouTube and www. clevelandbrowns. com later this fall.

DCVB offers grants for local events Klingshirn is president A Forgotten Heritage discussed GREENVILLE – Funds are available to non-profit organizations sponsoring special events in Darke County through the Darke County Visitors Bureau in 2017. Four grants are available for 2017: two $1,000 grants and two $500 grants.

dress needs-based concerns, smaller events (events with budgets below $5,000) will be exclusively eligible for the two $500 grants, though they may apply for the $1,000 grants if they wish to do so. Interested nonproﬁt organizations should contact the Darke County Visitors Bureau (DCVB) immediately for consideration. All completed application forms and support materials must be in the Darke County Visitors Bureau oﬃce by Jan. 31, 2017. Application packets will then be reviewed by an

UNION CITY – Principal of Mississinawa Valley Elementary School Stephanie Klingshirn has been elected to serve as president of the Ohio Association of Elementary School Administrators (OAESA) for the 2016-2017 school year. Klingshirn’s dedication to education has spanned 23 years, with 17-years of experience as an elementary principal at schools in Piqua City and Union City, Ohio. As OAESA president, she rep-

resents more than 1600 elementary and middle-level school administrators both in Ohio and nationally. Klingshirn said, “I just have to say what an honor and privilege it is. It is incredibly humbling as I am representing hardworking elementary administrators from across the state.” She was honored by OAESA Executive Director Dr. Julie Davis and the association’s Board of Directors at a President’s Reception at her school.

Sam Barga Memorial Foundation established GREENVILLE – Parents Scott and Linda Barga, and siblings, Sereena and Shane Barga have founded the Sam Barga Memorial Foundation in honor of their son and brother, Sam Barga, who passed on Aug. 1, 2015. The Sam Barga Memorial Foundation was founded on Nov. 5, 2015 and serves as a non-profit organization and commemorative emblem that continues Sam’s legacy on in hearts of loved ones and the community of which he was a part of. Funds from the foundation are given back to the various organizations within the community. “Sam was always cracking jokes and making people laugh. He is missed by so many and I’m happy this foundation can serve as a way to not only remember Sam but to give back to the community in Sam’s name,” says older sister Sereena. Samuel James Barga is a 2014 graduate of Greenville Senior High School. He was active and enjoyed being a member of the Greenville Wrestling team all four years of his high school career. He was a part of the Greenville FFA during his freshman and sophomore years and furthered his interest in HVAC education at Piqua’s Upper Valley Career Center during his junior and senior years. Outside of school, Sam was a team member of the Scrubs softball team. He loved to fish, hunt, ride dirt bikes and was a huge Harley Davidson enthusiast. Sam was proud to have bought his first Harley Davidson shortly after he turned 18. He enjoyed learning new skills when it came to bikes and cars and even bought an old, undrivable 1989 Mustang to restore. He wasn’t sure how to completely refurbish it, but that’s where his dad came in to help. Sam worked for his parents at Barga Heating & Air Conditioning all throughout high school and after graduation. He became certified from the Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA) after working hard to complete the required curriculum. After graduation, he traveled to Nashville, Tenn. to further his knowledge and acquire his HVAC Technical Degree through Total Tech HVAC School. Throughout this year, the Scrubs softball team has organized various fundraisers to raise funds for the Foundation. This past March the team hosted a bowling tournament in Sam’s name. More than 20 teams consisting of six players or more participated in the event. In June, Scrubs held the annual “Sam Barga Memorial Softball Tournament” at the Ansonia Baseball Field. Twelve teams of 12 or more players battled it out to claim the winning title. Memorial wristbands were worn and sold to participants and benchwarmers throughout the 3-day tournament. The Scrubs’ team members wore custom jerseys specially made for the tournament. Each jersey had Sam’s uniform number on the sleeve and favorite phrase, “Hang Loose,” on the back. Baseball hats with Sam’s initials embroidered on the back, “S.J.B.,” were also worn by the team and available for purchase. Along with events the Scrubs team organized, other fundraisers have happened throughout the year. A prom dress sale coordinated by Sam’s mother took place during the spring, which included more than 60 new dresses for purchase. Accompanying these fundraisers is an ongoing Scrip program which donates portions to the foundation as well. So far, the Sam Barga Memorial Foundation has donated to the Greenville Wrestling team and Hooked on Fishing, Not Drugs, which was founded 10 years ago and focused around the Wayne Lakes area. The Barga family will continue to donate to and support the various programs around the community. They are proud that Sam’s memory will live on for many years to come.

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Public Library is happy to host A Forgotten Heritage: The German Methodist Church on Sept. 29, 6 p.m. Author Barbara Dixon will share this interesting and littleknown story of the dynamic history of the Central District Conference - which once included Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, Pittsburgh PA and Wheeling WV. Dixon will begin by telling about William Nast’s founding of the German Methodist Episcopal Church in 1835 in Cincinnati and his ministry to the Germanspeaking settlers

throughout the Midwest. Through her personal research, travels, and from the diaries of her grandfather Theodore Rudin, who was a German Methodist minister from 1898 until 1934, she brings to life the pastors, parishioners, and conditions Pastor Rudin encountered in his travels. Greenville had its

own parish which was established in 1852. At that time it used the Wakeﬁeld Church for services, but then built its own church on Ash Street in 1856. It appears it eventually merged with the First M.E. Church around 1921 due to a decrease in German immigrants. The book contains much detail and many photos of the church buildings themselves. Dixon’s book will be available for purchase after the presentation and refreshments will be served. The library appreciates Dixon’s donation of her book and is proud to have it in their collection.

PUBLIC AUCTION

DARKE CO. – Darke County Sheriff Toby L. Spencer will provide a School Resource Officer (SRO) to two Darke County school districts this school year. The Darke County Sheriff’s Office will partner with FranklinMonroe Schools and Mississinawa Valley Schools by providing a fulltime deputy sheriff to be split between the two school districts. The cost to provide this deputy will be out of the Sheriff’s budget for this school year. The schools have only been asked to pay for instructional materials that may be required for programs that will be conducted by the deputy. The two school districts were chosen because they are the only two school districts that reside outside of a city or village limit and the Darke

County Sheriff’s Office is their primary law enforcement agency. Other school districts in the county fall within municipal limits that have existing police departments. Several of these agencies provide SRO’s to their schools. The Darke County Sheriff’s Office has been in discussion with the Superintendents of Franklin-Monroe and Mississinawa Valley since the spring in anticipation of providing this service. Both school districts have welcomed the SRO with open arms. Sheriff Spencer has assigned Deputy Sheriff Josh Brinley to be the SRO. Deputy Brinley is a military veteran and has been with the Darke County Sheriff’s Office for over 16 years. He is married with children of his own and is experienced

in presenting programs in a school setting as a deputy. He completed SRO school back in the fall of last year and has been connecting with experienced SRO’s in the area. Deputy Brinley has been a part of the discussions and preparation with the administration of both school districts. Deputy Brinley will be assigned to the schools as his fulltime job when school is in session for 40 hours a week. The goal is to provide each school with 20 hours of service each week. The schedule will not be set for security reasons and to allow for Deputy Brinley to have ﬂexibility in providing services to each school and address any special issues that might arise at one school or another. As a rule Deputy Brinley will be in a uni-

form and a marked Sheriff’s cruiser will be present at the school during his duty. He is encouraged to participate in special school functions when time allows. The SRO program is designed to fulfill three roles in concert with school administration. They are 1) Law Enforcement 2) Crime Prevention 3) Education. The educational component will be conducted through cooperation with school officials. Examples of presentations may include drug awareness and education, bullying, conflict resolution, personal and social responsibility. Although there are memorandums of understanding in place, Sheriff Spencer has not asked for compensation from the school districts at this point. This is the first year

for implementing the program and wanted to start with as few strings attached between the Sheriff’s Office and the school districts as possible. At the conclusion of the school year the SRO program will be evaluated by all partners on its effectiveness. If the program is deemed of value and a determination is made to continue the program, funding will be discussed as well as long term goals and objectives. Sheriff Spencer looks forward to the opportunity to serve and protect our most valuable resource in the county which is our youth. He has desired to establish this important partnership with our local schools in order to provide a closer connection to our young citizens and provide a positive role model to our youth.
