Assault victim gives health update GREENVILLE – The community has been asking how Glen Frick is getting along since the robbery and assault that occurred, at his home business, Frick’s Sales; 5740 Jaysville St. Johns Road, Greenville, on Aug. 25. Glen and Shirley Frick provided the following update. Glen was in Miami Valley Hospital for three days. He had reconstructive surgery on his lower jaw and three other major bones around his left eye. As of Sept. 25, his jaw is still wired shut and will be for another one to two weeks yet. Glen’s progress has been slow but is continuing on the upward swing of feeling better with much needed rest. He does have his shop open, waiting on customers and doing some light repair. Because he still does have doctor appointments, the shop might be closed off and on to take care of those needs. The customer might want to call before coming to make sure Glen is there. Words can hardly express our deep appreciation for the effectual fervent prayers of the community, being sent heavenward over the past few weeks on Glen’s behalf. We feel blessed that our

Almighty God has spared Glen’s life and that he can be an asset to the Greenville community and surrounding areas to those in need. We appreciate the ﬂooding of cards, notes, letters, “gifts of Love”, offers to help and the encouragement along the way. Through it all we learned the value of patience and also that God only gives us One Day at a Time. We live today and don’t have the promise of tomorrow, so make the best of today! Glen says, “I didn’t know how much support we really had from the community until something like this happened!” We want to say a big thank you again to those who came in and mowed and trimmed our grass; to those who just sat on the porch or at our breakfast table and chatted with Glen to help pass the hours, when he was so tired; to those who gave discounted rates when ﬁnding out that our out-of-state visitors needed a place to stay for the night while paying us a weekend visit and also to the company who took up a donation, from their employees, on our behalf. God is good! We feel blessed and may His Name be honored each and every day!

Longtown founder descendent proud of his ancestry GREENVILLE – The story begins as C o n n o r Keiser, a BOB ROBINSON child, reAssociate Editor members bluebagmedia.com his grandmother watching for stories about Longtown. “She was a Clemens. She would clip them out and give them to me… she never said anything,” he said, “but I put two and two together and now I’ve proven it.” He’s proven he’s the fifth generation grandson of James Clemens, the free “Person of Color” who, along with his wife Sophia, founded Longtown, Ohio. “My grandfather (fifth generation) was the first free black man to buy land in this county… 1821. That was James Clemens.” He came to Ohio with Adam Sellers, Rockingham County, Va., who was believed to be a slave owner. Sellers settled in Warren County but stopped first in Darke County to free his slaves. “We don’t know for sure if he (grandfather) was a slave, or a free-male slave… I’m not sure I understand the

difference.” Keiser has been in contact with Sellers’ ﬁfth generation grandson, Michael Sellers. “I’ve been looking for him for a long time. He put a post online, wanting to know about my grandfather. We’ve been sending emails back and forth ever since.” Keiser, a 2011 Versailles High School graduate and Edison Community College student, said he’s been on his search for two or three years. “It consumes me anymore,” he added. Proving the lineage with Clemens was only the beginning. “I’m satisﬁed I’ve proved it,” Keiser said, “but I know there’s more.” There was a Burden in Longtown… “The father of all Burdens, he had 13 children. I believe he’s a great grandfather also.” There was also a Reuben Bass from North Carolina, who may also be a great grandfather. Keiser said he took a DNA test recently. “Ten percent of my DNA is African,” he said. “I’m proud of my ancestry… in fact I share that with everyone, whether they want to hear it or not.”

“This search has become a passion. It consumes me.”

Connor Keiser has traced his roots to James Clemens, the Founding Father of Longtown. Clemens was the first free black man to purchase land in Darke County. (Bob Robinson photo)

Keiser said as late as the 1940’s over 500 persons lived in Longtown, most of them descendants of the early 19th century settlers. He showed several Land Patents (“He had a lot of properties.”), but noted the ﬁrst one, signed by President James Monroe on March 23, 1821. This and the other patents were made to James Clemens, a Person of Color. The Patents noted Longtown was in German Twp. Following WWI it was renamed Liberty Twp. “There are no records I’m aware of where any free black man before my great grandfather owned

land in Darke County. If anyone knows of anyone else, they can prove it.” He said it was “neat” because all of our families are related from Longtown. “I constantly run into people… they say their father is Clemens, or Burden or Bass…” Keiser said his family is nominated into the Pioneer Families of Darke County. He goes to Longtown once a month to attend meetings of the Union Literary Institute Preservation Society where he’s a member. He added their goal is to save “what is left” of Longtown and its history.

Doug Berky tells his audience at Woodland Heights he needs their help as he struggles to learn how to juggle. They have to hold up their hands to protect themselves in case he misses and the ball heads toward one of them. (Bob Robinson photo)

DCCA’s Berky inspires; is “truly a gem” BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE – “I’m trying to learn something new,” said Doug Berky to several hundred Woodland Heights students Sept. 25. “But I get sad when I make mistakes. Do you make mistakes?” Yes!! “Does it make you sad?” Yes!! “Do you like to make mistakes?” No!!... And he continues asking questions as he prepares to demonstrate the new juggling skill he’s trying to learn. Every time he’s about to start, he stops as he remembers there’s something else he wants to ask or tell the laughing students. Berky – entertainer, mime, actor, storyteller and comedian – is the K-3 Arts in Education (AIE) offering of the Darke County Center for the Arts (DCCA). As he entertains he hopes to “teach, inspire and create space for contemplation.” One of his “gems” is his approach to the classic Aesop fable, The Lion and the Mouse. The lion catches the mouse; the mouse begs the lion to let him go. The lion releases him, thinking him unworthy to eat. Later the lion is caught in a trap. The mouse comes along and chews the net until the lion is free… the moral? An act of kindness is never wasted. Berky has been performing for children in the various Darke County school districts since Monday. DCCA Director Andrea Jordan said they’ve had wonderful response to him… “The buzz on the street… he truly is a gem.” Other comments included “he’s

teaching social values, he explores cultures and encourages reading to expand knowledge. “These are all goals of AIE,” she noted. Berkey said he does all kinds of audiences, but acknowledges his best audiences are kids. “They are more sympathetic, wonderful and accepting.” He added he tried college for a while, but couldn’t keep up with their kind of humor. “I was always an athlete in school… then I got into theatre. I discovered the French mime, Marcel Marceau…” That led to the combination of those venues in his performances. Berkey also noted Red Skelton and Carole Burnett. “They focused on movement along with what they were saying.” While he was talking, Berkey kept moving back and forth, setting up his props. Not as an apology but as a simple matter of fact, he said “I’m going to keep working while we talk. If I’m not ready when they are… the kids will riot!” Berkey talked about

the opportunities in the theater, noting you don’t have to be an entertainer. “If you’re a techy, there are worlds of opportunities in today’s theatre; if you like to boss people around, you can be a director…” Then he was off on another tangent. Shortly after that the kids started ﬁling in and it was time for him to ask for help. Berkey liked his week spent so far in Darke County. “I’ve been in every corner of the county,” he said, “but have only seen little bits and pieces… “Judging by the kids, though, it seems like a pretty nice community.”

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT

Shoplifting becomes a robbery charge over $93.70 On September 17 police responded to a call from Walmart, 1501 Wagner Ave., regarding a male shoplifter being pursued by a Walmart employee. The suspect was running toward JC Penney. He was wearing a gray hoodie and jeans. The officer saw him running with a Walmart cart full of items. The suspect was told to stop; instead he kept his hood over his head, shoved the cart into the officer’s cruiser and ran into Tractor Supply. The officer chased the suspect through Tractor Supply, telling him to stop several times. The officer identified the suspect, Kyle Mitchell, and told him again to stop. Mitchell continued to run toward the back of the store and when the officer attempted to stop him, pushed him. He kept trying to run as the officer pushed him into shelves in an attempt to stop him. A Tractor Supply employee helped the officer get Mitchell to the ground. The suspect continued to struggle and wouldn’t comply with the officer’s orders until he was told he would be Tased. The struggling continued until two more officers arrived and Mitchell was placed in handcuffs. The stolen items – a Beauty Rest air twin mattress, two Glade candles and a package of Tide Pods, total amount $93.70 – were recovered. Mitchell was arrested for Robbery and transported to Darke County jail. DRUGS On September 19 police were dispatched to the alley behind 410 11th St. regarding a male who was intoxicated and possibly could not stand up. The officer found Robert Brown lying on the ground. There appeared to be blood on his head, so Greenville Township was called. The officer detected the smell of an alcoholic beverage and the suspect appeared to be hallucinating and reaching for objects that weren’t there. The officer found Brown’s wallet lying about five feet from the suspect. Next to it was an unlabeled pill bottle with 19 halves of round, peach-colored pills with the letter “M” on one side and “60” on the other. There was a small pair of scissors next to the bottle. Brown said they were his nerve pills. He was transported to the hospital; the doctor indicated they appeared to be Morphine Sulfate. After checking it was determined Brown didn’t appear to have a prescription for the pills. Brown said he got them in Dayton. The pills and scissors were taken for analysis. Charges are pending on the results. On September 16 police stopped a vehicle

for expired plates. Police also determined the registered owner and driver, Jon Cave, had a suspended operator’s license. According to the officer, Cave appeared nervous; when he was asked if he had anything illegal in his vehicle he said no. He also refused to allow a search. Later he agreed. The officer found two pipes with burnt residue inside of them, one with the odor of marijuana. Also found were a number of pills in several containers, one of which appeared to be Clonazepam, a schedule IV drug. Cave was cited for Driving under Suspension and Expired Registration and released from the scene. The officer went to Cave’s residence later and cited him for Possession of Marijuana and Possession of a Schedule IV Drug. DISORDERLY CONDUCT On September 19 police were dispatched to the 200 block of Hart Avenue regarding a male near the street, possibly intoxicated. Upon arrival police found Kenneth Brown lying on the ground next to the sidewalk. Brown was asked to sit up; he said he couldn’t. There was a strong alcoholic beverage odor on him and his eye’s appeared glassy. When asked if he had been drinking, Brown reportedly said “yes; a lot but not enough.” Greenville Township was called to evaluate Brown. The complainant advised she saw the man stumbling and almost walking into parked cars. She said he eventually sat down but was unable to stand back up. Brown refused to be transported to the hospital; police contacted two of Brown’s friends. They said he could stay with them until he sobered up. Brown was cited for Disorderly Conduct. On September 20 police were dispatched to Sportzter’s, 406 S. Broadway, regarding an alleged assault. The victim, Tom Shelton, said he tried to enter Sportzter’s when William Nibert told him he couldn’t come in. Nibert then allegedly pushed Shelton out of the bar, into a tree and hit him with an aluminum bucket. He had a scrape on his left arm and right palm. Nibert said he’d had an earlier altercation with Shelton at Danny’s Place so he told him to leave. He denied striking Shelton against a tree and said he tripped over the bucket. Charges will be pending following review of the camera footage. JUVENILE On September 22 police were contacted regarding a juvenile with two 10ML bottles of high nicotine liquid for use in E-Cigarettes in his possession. He admitted they

were his; he was cited for Underage Possession of an Alternative Nicotine Substance. On September 22 police saw a juvenile on foot wearing dark clothing. When the officer started to approach, the juvenile ran. She was caught in an alley near Central. She quickly put out a cigarette and asked the officer not to tell her mother. She said she was out walking and her mother lets her smoke. The juvenile had just recently gotten out of West Central. She was taken home to her mother, who said she had a boyfriend in the area and she was angry about her smoking. The juvenile was issued a citation for Curfew and released to her mother. DUI On September 21 at 2:01 a.m. police observed a vehicle without lights being driven by Bryan Robinson. After he was stopped the officer smelled a strong odor of alcoholic beverage. He had difficulty removing his license. He said he was unaware of the lights not being on because they were supposed to come on automatically. His eyes were bloodshot and glassy, his speech slurred. He didn’t know his current address despite having lived there over a month. When asked to do a field sobriety test, he stumbled getting out of his car. He did poorly on it. When asked how much he’d had to drink he said “a couple.” When asked how much is “a couple” he reportedly said three, four, five, I don’t know. He was arrested for OVI and taken to the police station. He refused to take the breath test. He was placed under Administrative License Suspension and issued a citation for OVI and Driving without Lights. On September 20 police followed a vehicle that had what appeared to be a flat tire on the front driver’s side. The vehicle entered a left turn only lane then proceeded straight through the intersection. The driver, William M. Justice, overlooked his driver’s license twice while trying to find it and had an odor of alcoholic beverage on him. He also had slurred speech and bloodshot eyes. He stated he’d had two or three alcoholic drinks at a friend’s place. Justice also had an injury above his left eye and the right side of his temple. He said when he “curbed” the vehicle, causing the flat tire, he got out to look, lost his balance and hit his head on the road. He declined medical attention. Justice did poorly on the field sobriety test and was arrested for OVI and taken to the police station. The

breathalyzer registered .125. He was issued a citation for OVI and placed under Administrative License Suspension. WARRANT On September 19 police responded to a Disorderly complaint at Sportzters, 406 S. Broadway. The ofﬁcer determined the defendant (not identiﬁed in the report) had a warrant for Failure to Appear on a change of plea regarding an OVI charge. The defendant was arrested and transported to Darke County jail on a $5,025 bond. On September 17 police went to 121 N. Main

St. in an attempt to locate Shaun Ginter, who has a felony warrant for Burglary. Ginter answered the door, the warrant

was conﬁrmed through LEADS; he was placed under arrest and transported to Darke County jail.

ON YOUR MIND

Ensuring clean drinking water E a r lier this month, I visited Put-inBay to tour The O h i o State University’s Stone Laboratory. I met with Stone Lab scientists and accompanied them as they collected water samples of Lake Erie to better understand the rise in toxic algal blooms. A high level of phosphorous in the lake is a contributing factor to the algal blooms, and I’ve recently announced funds to help farmers implement conservation practices that reduce phosphorous runoff into the lake. But we must address all contributing sources to algal blooms, including our wastewater systems. In communities with combined sewer systems – which carry both storm water and raw sewage every time there are heavy rains, there is a combined sewage overﬂow (CSO) and untreated waste and storm water is dumped straight into our rivers, creeks, and lakes. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that 850 billion gallons of untreated waste and stormwater from CSOs are released into rivers, lakes, and streams across the U.S. each year. There are 73 Ohio communities with out-ofdate sewer systems causing CSOs but many towns – and their ratepayers – struggle to ﬁx these systems on their own. That’s why I’ve introduced the Clean Water Affordability Act, which would help communities with CSOs to develop an infrastructure plan to

update their sewer systems while keeping costs down for already stressed ratepayers and municipal budgets. It would also authorize a CSO-speciﬁc grant program, providing $1.8 billion over the next ﬁve years and prioritizing funding to communities like Toledo that are dealing with water quality issues. Ohio families can’t afford the risk of tainted drinking water in their communities and they deserve immediate action. This legislation would lead to clean water, promote economic development, and protect local ratepayers. I have also introduced the Safe and Secure Drinking Water Act with Senator Rob Portman and Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur. Currently, there is no federal limit for the level of microcystins – the toxic byproduct of blooming algae – allowed in drinking water. The Act would direct the EPA to determine safe levels of microcystins and issue a health advisory to inform local and state agencies and utilities of proper testing procedures and standards that protect drinking water from microcystins. Sound wastewater infrastructure with fair rates is not only critical to ensuring our state’s health – it attracts businesses and creates jobs. The assurance of a dependable and affordable source of water attracts and retains companies. We need swift passage of these commonsense, bipartisan bills to promote 21st century sewer systems that attract 21st century jobs, while preserving America’s promise of clean water.

It’s ﬁlling up at the gas pump and watching the numbers climb to more than $40 for a tank of gas, or it’s a trip to the grocery store where the packaging seems to be shrinking but price tags are growing higher and higher. While we’re seeing a lot of growth here in Ohio, the trouble is, we’re paying more for the things we need under the president’s policies, “further constraining family budgets…still reeling from a stagnant economy,” according to a recent Gallup survey. Spending on gas and groceries tops the list of added expenses, driven up by energy costs that have nearly doubled on the president’s watch. And the health care law is making matters worse, raising costs when it was supposed to lower them. In just two years, Ohioans have now seen their insurance premiums spike by 53 percent on average – it’s simply unconscionable. Meanwhile, incomes are down and many of our friends and neighbors are stuck in part-time work. These are the things that keep a lot of parents up at night, but we don’t have to settle for this – we can do something about it. While House Republicans have been doing our part – we’ve passed dozens of jobs bills that are being blocked by Democrats in the U.S. Senate – we need the president and his party to do theirs. That’s why my message to the president and

his Democratic allies is a simple one: let’s focus on real solutions that will help hardworking families have more opportunities and more peace of mind. We can give families more control over their hard-earned money by implementing a real “allof-the-above” energy strategy that actually helps lower gas and electricity costs. Let’s help get more people back to work by getting Big Government out of the way of our small businesses. And let’s work to make college more affordable and accessible by simplifying the tax code and making it easier for students to apply real-world skills and experience toward a college education. The best part about all of this is that a blueprint already exists in the common-sense solutions advanced by Republicans (see more at www.gop. gov/solutions), but we’ve run up against a brick wall created by the president and his Democratic colleagues – they are more worried about keeping their jobs than helping families ﬁnd work. In the weeks and months ahead, Republicans will continue listening to your concerns and maintaining our focus on solutions to help create more jobs, lower costs at home, and restore opportunity for all. As we go on with our work, I’d like to hear from you. Please feel free to stop by an Open Door session or send me an email at Boehner.House. Gov. However you choose to stay in touch, I look forward to hearing from you.

We’re maintaining our focus

But I didn’t do anything

A lot has been made of punishment in the media lately, both social and mainstream, because of Adrian Peterson and the switch, log, tree trunk, forest (depending on which media outlet you listen to) he used on his son. I can honestly say I have never had a switch used on me, nor have I used one on my girls. After reading about the antics of my girls, one might think I don’t even punish them. That’s not so. I think they were ﬁrst grounded the moment they began to talk. With as much time that has been added for bad behavior we may let them off the hook when they go to college or get married. We have taken away television, sat them in a corner, stood them in a corner, conﬁscated cell phones, prevented them from going to a friend’s house and yes, they have been spanked. Just like any insane person, we

keep trying the same punishments over and over expecting different results. Nope – they’re still mouthy, fiery, bad tempered little red heads. (But I love them.) Without fail, when a punishment is given the first words out of their mouths are “But I didn’t do anything.” To which I respond, “I know that’s why you’re in trouble.” I’m old enough now to remember some of the harsh punishments my dad handed out. The worst had to be when he grounded us from television. Back in the day (I hate that term now that I can use it), we didn’t have 150 millions ways to watch television. We had three – maybe four channels and that was it. There were color televisions, but we didn’t have one until I was in junior high. If we were grounded my dad made sure we couldn’t watch anything by taking the tube out of the set. Yes, I’m old enough to remember when televisions had tubes. Technology has made it increasingly difficult to ground kids from the TV. There are no more tubes or detachable

power cords. If we aren’t there they will go ahead and watch what they want and turn it off before I get home. If I take away television they will sneak and watch Netﬂix on their phone or laptop. Not anymore! I’m not the most tech savvy person, but I did learn that you can lock channels. After I learned this little trick they came home and tried to turn on the television. It makes me giggle every time I try to picture their faces. Of course I heard, “But I didn’t do anything.” I do have a couple of punishments that I can deﬁnitely call my favorites. I don’t know if they work or not, but they sure are fun to give. My oldest hates it when we ground her from her room or any other room we are not in. She is forced to spend her evenings with us. You might think the punishment would be worse for us, but to our surprise we found she is more delightful and we have a lot of fun when she is forced to enjoy our company. When she thinks we’re comfortable and have forgotten about the punish-

ment she will try to sneak back to her room. When we call her back we get to start all over and hear her whine and say, “But I didn’t do anything.” The worst punishment for my youngest is when we ground her from cheer practice. Let me rephrase that. The worst punishment for my youngest is when she thinks we have grounded her from cheer practice. We have never let her purposely miss a practice. A practice was scheduled and she was being her typical mouthy self and not doing anything around the house. We threatened to ground her from going. Later in the day we learned practice was cancelled. We decided we would go ahead with the punishment and told her she wasn’t going to practice. She assumed they were still having practice. As she is pleading (to put it mildly) with us to let her go I’m smiling at my wife and my wife is smiling at me. Our oldest knows the truth and when we handed the down the punishment for a second time she looked at us in a disapproving manner and questioned, “Really?”

Combating opiate addiction from the start Since the beginning of 2013, the Ohio General Assembly has been working tirelessly to study the opiate addiction epidemic that plagues Ohio and its public health. Two study committees have traveled around the state during the summers to learn from public ofﬁcials, law enforcement, and constituents about how the epidemic has had real-life impacts on society. The research and time put into the issue

has resulted in a package of legislation that directly addresses different aspects of the issue. One of the most important bills that was signed into law by Governor Kasich is House Bill 314. It went into effect this September. House Bill 314 changes the Ohio Revised Code to require an explicit informed consent in order for doctors and physicians to write a prescription to minors for any controlled substance containing opioids. This legislation combats one of the biggest causes of the opiate epidemic in Ohio, overprescribing. Before House

Bill 314 went into effect, minors could receive a prescription for opioids without the consent or knowledge of a parent or guardian. The overprescribing of controlled substances often leads to the illegal distribution of the medication, causing widespread use and abuse. Furthermore, the legislation also seeks to prevent those who are underage from eventually developing an addiction to such substances. When parents have more of a presence in their children’s lives and can make a decision with their children and doctor, there is less of a risk of addiction or the misuse of

medication. The required consent form would help to secure this relationship between all parties. Protecting our youth from this pervasive epidemic is not only important for our state’s health and future, but it also goes a long way in preventing drug abuse and addiction from spreading further. Parents should know if and when their children are allowed access to addictive medications. They should feel comfortable when talking to them about peer pressure, drugs, and alcohol, and this required consent form helps to open that conversation.

READERS WRITE Stuffed down their throats Senate Bill 150 – One of the latest Government regulations stuffed down the farmers throats. This requires us to be educated, certified and licensed (at our expense) to apply fertilizer on our own fields. I suppose the politician(s) that pushed this thru, knows more about spreading fertilizer than I do. I’ve only been doing it 50 plus years and must still have a lot to learn. Or, could it be, that the end goal is to require all fields to be gridmapped and precisionspread by custom applicators? More money. I read an interesting article in a farm magazine that gives facts and figures that bird droppings, especially geese droppings, may be causing as much trouble in our lakes as farmer’s run-off, goose dropping are high in phosphates. Most interesting is that the now

over-population of Canadian geese was initiated by a Government program to keep them from becoming extinct. Now they number well over 150,000 in and around our lakes. Of course the politicians can’t get any money from the geese, so they’re going after the farmers. Then, of course, there is the revamping of CAUV, which will raise our real estate tax. I think our Governor

said he could balance the budget, with no tax increase – must not have included real estate tax. Be prepared – monitors on our ﬁeld drainage tile could be next. I won’t even mention the fees we have to pay to use our own septic systems. I’m sure other businesses are also burdened by regulations – maybe even more than us. Oh well, I suppose the politicians need more money to support

their sometimes ridiculous spending programs and their lavish lifestyles. George Washington once said, the purpose of Government is to develop infrastructure (crude as it was back then) and to protect our borders. How we have expanded on that. But, what did old George know anyway? Probably more than most of our current leaders. Ted Scheiding, Arcanum

Hospice warns about solicitations

GREENVILLE – State of the Heart Hospice and other hospices nationwide are cautioning community residents to be wary of potentially fraudulent solicitations for hospice care support by the Hospice Support Fund. State of the Heart recently heard from an area resident who was asked to donate to hospice out of state with an indication this was for the “Greenville area hospice.” Christy Baker, Development Specialist for State of the Heart, stated that a man came into the agency office recently explaining that he had been called by someone who indicated they were seeking funds for the area hospice and had his name as a previous donor. The phone call was followed by a mail solicitation asking for funds to be mailed to the Hospice Support Fund in Virginia. State of the Heart had cared for the man’s wife and he thought he was making a contribution to the local organization. State of the Heart does not share its list of patients or donors with any entity. “One thing that is confusing for many people is they don’t know that not all hospices are the same; we are not part of a national chain of hospices,” Baker explained. “State of the Heart is a local nonprofit agency with offices in Greenville, Coldwater and Portland.” Recently, hospice organizations nationwide were cautioned to be aware of mailed solicitations asking for money to support hospice care locally. Baker said that the Hospice Support Fund does not in any way provide financial support to State of the Heart. Fraudulent solicitations had been done in other U.S. communities on behalf of local hospices, similar to the incident in Greenville. “This is an excellent example of someone taking advantage of those who had a good hospice experience, are philanthropic and who are under the assumption that all hospices are linked and share in funds,” Baker said. “Nothing could be further from the truth.” Baker advised that if someone is solicited by phone or mail to help “the local hospice,” they should be cautious and not commit to funds for a group such as the Hospice Support Fund nor give any information about their bank account or credit card information. All communication to friends, donors and supporters of State of the Heart is on State of the Heart letterhead and is delivered with the State of the Heart logo on the envelope. For 33 years, State of the Heart has cared for patients and families in eastern Indiana and western Ohio who are confronting a life limiting illness.

Artists/vendors to attend First Friday GREENVILLE – If you love arts and crafts, you won’t want to miss Main Street Greenville’s First Friday event for October, the Artisan Stroll! The event features over 40 different vendors, each offering art, artisan crafts, or handmade items! The event will be held from 6-9 p.m. downtown Greenville on Oct. 3. “It will be a jam packed night with so much to see and do,” said Susan Fowble, event chair volunteer. “We are excited to see everyone downtown!” Vendors will be setup on the sidewalks in front of downtown businesses to showcase their items. The list of items offered include paintings, ceramics, jewelry, drawings, repurposed home decor, photography, crocheted items, and more. In addition to the art on display, many demonstrations will take place throughout the evening. The list includes glass blowing, rock balancing, chainsaw sculpting, wooden spoon carving, chair caning, glass bead making, ﬁber art creation, and artistic gourd making. The event will also feature live music located at multiple locations. There will also be many things offered for children to enjoy. The

list includes face-painting, Chalk-the-Block (a sidewalk chalk contest), a Renaissance & Medieval re-creation pavilion, a Kid’s Clinic provided by Lowes Home Improvement, and an art class provided by Paper Bird Studio at The A & B Coffee & Cake Co. Since June, the committee (consisting of Susan Fowble, Patti Jetter, Kim Murray, Mary Saintignon, Fran Brubaker, Debbie Niekamp, and Nancy Person) has volunteered to work with Amber Garrett, the Executive Director for Main Street Greenville to create the event. “The Artisan Stroll would not be possible without the hard work of the committee. They are a wonderful group of volunteers and they are dedicated to creating a quality event for all to enjoy,” said Amber Garrett, executive director for Main Street Greenville. Signs and ﬂyers will be posted the night of the event with the

schedule and the locations of each vendor. Main Street Greenville will also post the information on their website and Facebook page for you to download or view before the event. Main Street Greenville thanks Jafe Decorating, Inc., a local company since 1978 and a leading producer of specialty colored glass and the local AAA, a leisure travel organization – both who sponsored the First Friday Artisan Stroll. Main Street Greenville is a non-proﬁt organization committed to stimulating and supporting revitalization efforts, historic preservation and economic growth in Historic Downtown Greenville.

Health department will hold drive thru clinic on Oct. 4 GREENVILLE – The Darke County Department of Health invites the citizens of Darke County to take advantage of a special flu immunization clinic this year. On Oct. 4, the local health department will be hosting a Community Flu Clinic with hopes of serving a large number of community members and their families. The clinic will be presented at Spirit Medical Transport, 5484 State Route 49 S. (south of the fairgrounds), Greenville. The delivery of the shots during this event will be by walk-in and drive-thru from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. It is highly suggested by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) that everyone be annually immunized to acquire immunity against the seasonal flu. Those who typically have a more serious health risk(s) with the affects from the flu are the very young, the very old and those who are living with chronic health issues. For these folks, catching the flu can really place a serious stress on their health. Each year, approximately 36,000 Americans die from the effects of being ill with influenza. The best pre-

vention against these concerns is to be proactive and receive the flu shot. The flu vaccine will be available for all ages from six months through senior citizens. The fee for the health department flu shots this year is $25 per person. This price is slightly increased this year due to the fact they will be offering the Quadrivalent form of the vaccine – meaning the vaccine will produce immunity for four different strains of influenza with one injection. (In past years, the flu vaccine only gave immunity to three strains of influenza – trivalent vaccine). With the slightly higher price comes an additional coverage. Citizens are asked to note this point as they shop around for flu shot delivery – as both versions of the flu vaccine are still being offered. Health department vaccines are always the lowest price around because the agency is not attempting to make a profit. Another positive change at the clinics is that most health insurance companies can now be billed by the health department; however, the client must show their insurance card at the time of service. Come and receive flu shots for the entire family before the seri-

ous flu season kicks-in and for a very reasonable price. If any questions about influenza and/or the vaccine, call the Darke County Health Department at 548-4196, ext. 202. Anyone who wishes to download the registration form used for this 2014 Darke County Community Flu Clinic, to save time on the day of the event, find the form at www. darkecountyhealth. org. Bring the completed form, one per each participant, to the clinic on Oct. 4. This form will only be accepted in this manner, on this date, at this location.

Volunteers sought for Arts Festival UNION CITY – The Union City Arts Festival will take place on Oct. 10-12 and there will be art, music and culinary venues all over town.

Pet owners can get grief support

COLDWATER – State of the Heart Hospice and the County Animal Clinic in Coldwater are working together to develop a “pilot” project, which is a first for the area: A pet loss support group for those who have lost an animal they loved and who need help dealing with their loss. “They reached out to us to help them develop a pet loss support group,” explained Ashlee Carder, a music therapist and grief support specialist for State of the Heart. The nonprofit agency provides care to patients and families in eastern Indiana and western Ohio who are confronting a life limiting illness. An important part of the services provided is grief support. “We are so thankful for the support from State of the Heart on this,” stated Debbie Bryson, social media coordinator for the animal clinic and the person who will facilitate the grief support groups. She was familiar with services provided in hospice care, particularly the grief support. “We are looking for the hospice staff to guide us in this venture,” she added. The group sessions will begin Oct. 20 and then again on Oct. 27 at the clinic office, 800 N. Seventh St. in Coldwater. Following those two initial sessions there will be a weekly session on the first Monday of each month for five weeks, beginning Nov. 3. The sessions are free and open to anyone who has lost a pet, regardless of association with hospice or the County Animal Clinic. It is necessary to register for the support groups with the clinic at 419-678-3610. Refreshments will be served at the sessions. Earlier this summer, Bryson said the staff

noted a large number of pets had either died of natural causes or had been euthanized, which happens periodically. “We realize how people are affected by the loss of a pet,” she added, “and we wanted to do more to help our customers who were grieving the loss of their pet.” She said the pet can be a dog, cat, horse, cow, or other animal that the person cared for. The clinic provides services to both large and small animals. The State of the Heart bereavement staff will work with the clinic personnel, helping guide them in developing their support program. “We hope to learn from the hospice staff, particularly gaining insight into how to work with the grieving person, learning what things are comforting to say and those which are not,” Bryson said. “It will be a program development through trial and error,” she added. Traci Straley, Director of Social Services for State of the Heart Hospice, noted that the collaboration for a pet therapy program is a “ﬁrst” for the hospice program. “We are pleased to be involved in the development of the program. It will be rewarding to take our knowledge and insight about grief support with individuals who have lost a loved one to a new dimension of helping those who have lost a pet that was special to them. The same principals will apply in reaching out to those individuals.” State of the Heart has collaborated with numerous community partners offering assistance with grief support. Dr. Ronald Anders, the veterinarian and owner of the animal clinic, stated that there is nothing else in the

GREENVILLE – Darke County Center for the Arts will present singer Joshua Carswell at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville on Oct. 11. The second of DCCA’s Artists Series concerts, the show begins at 8 p.m. According to DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins, local audiences have already received a sneak peek at the young man. “Josh is a close friends to members of the Annie Moses Band, and performs with them when he’s available; so all of those in the audience at the initial concert of our current Artists Series season featuring the Annie Moses Band were treated to a small sampling of what’s

in store when he’s in the spotlight,” Rawlins explained. “To say that he wowed the audience with his vocal and interpretive abilities might be an understatement; I strongly doubt that anyone who was there for that enticing snippet will miss Josh’s show,” Rawlins concluded. Just 25 years old, Carswell has already performed at Carnegie Hall and released his ﬁrst solo album featuring great American standards including “I Only Have Eyes for You” and Hank Williams’ plaintive “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry.” According to Mr. Rawlins, Joshua Carswell has been singing since he was a three-

area like the program that will be offered. He said the “pilot project” could be a concept that other veterinary clinics could develop after the model and offer it to their customers. His wife and practice manager for the clinic, Beverly Anders, commented that “it is often hurtful when someone loses their pet and someone casually says ‘oh it was just a dog or just a cat’.” The loss of an animal can be very difﬁcult for many people, she said. She added that the program will expand as new ideas are generated and ways to help people are initiated. Carder said the animal clinic staff will be trained in learning the various stages of grief and what is needed at those various stages in terms of support. And,

they will learn that not all people grieve in the same way. “We are glad that the folks at the clinic reached out to us,” she said. “It is something new for us and will be a new challenge. In our hospice bereavement support we help those who have lost a loved one, and in this instance dealing with pets, there is the realization that person is grieving the loss of a loved one.” State of the Heart Hospice has cared for patients and families for the past 33 years. Grief support is free and is offered to both adults and children, and there need be no association with hospice care to use the grief support services.

The North Star Volunteer Fire Dept. boasts 27 firefighters and has a waiting list of persons wanting to be on the department.

Voters approved building a new fire house the first time it appeared on the ballot.

North Star FD open house NORTH STAR – Chief Bill Roll, of the North Star Fire Dept., and his firefighters recently held an open house. The fire department boasts 27 firefighters with a waiting list. The North Star Vol-

unteer Fire Dept. was founded in 1949 and had been at the same location until mid July. The issue to build a new facility was presented to voters and was approved the ﬁrst time it appeared on the ballot.

Chief Roll noted the fire apparatus kept getting larger and the old fire house was getting smaller and smaller. The chief is proud of his firefighters, department and the tax payers for approving the levy.

Conceal Carry classes forming NEW MADISON – The Darke County Fish & Game Club has been providing Conceal Carry Classes for several years to the delight of many local residents. A Greenville couple thinking about taking the course saw an advertisement in The Early Bird from the Fish & Game Club and decided it was time. They couldn’t have been more pleased. The cost was $70 per person, which they thought was very affordable, and it covered the 12 hour class that was given in the clubhouse at the Darke County Fish & Game Club, a complete lunch with homemade pie for dessert, and beautiful setting that included the shooting range and expert instruction by husband and wife Kyle and Moryah Yount of Surprise Break Firearms Training. Kyle has been an NRA pistol instructor for over ﬁve years, NRA Range Safety Ofﬁcer and OPOTA Firearms Instruc-

tor. Moryah has been an NRA Pistol Instructor for six month. The class size was small enough that everyone received a lot of one-on-one training. The couple pointed out Moryah did a great job and made the women in the class with little to no experience feel at ease. Firearm safety was a big part of the instruction. No ammunition was allowed inside the clubhouse, but everyone got to load and unload different styles of pistols using plastic cartridges The local couple noted the hands on shooting portion of the class, on the range, was very thorough. They shared how their training compared with others they knew who took CCW training elsewhere. They found out that others didn’t practice as many scenarios on the range as those that were offered during the Fish & Game Club’s CCW class. They even cleaned and oiled their own ﬁrearms after their

time on the range. The couple stated the class participants had all levels of experience with guns, shooting ability and knowledge of ﬁrearms. Everyone in the class had a great experience and received their certiﬁcate. The Darke County Fish & Game Club will be offering CCW classes on Oct. 11 and Nov. 8. For more information and to sign up, contact Dan Yount from Darke County Fish & Game Club at 776-6346 or Kyle Yount, from Surprise Break Firearms at 533-9985 or check them out on Facebook for additional classes. The Darke County Fish & Game Club is located at 1407 New Garden Road, New Paris, just off State Route 121 South. Memberships are available for only $25 per year. You don’t need a membership to take the class. Information is also available at www. dcfgclub.com.

YMCA offers free diabetes classes GREENVILLE – The Darke County YMCA, in conjunction with Sanoﬁ, Wayne HealthCare, and local health professionals, is pleased to offer free diabetes education classes beginning this fall. The YMCA encourages residents of Darke County to be aware of their risk for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes and steps they can take to manage the disease once diagnosed. Currently, nearly 26 million Americans have diabetes and one in three (79 million) individuals have prediabetes, a condition where blood glucose is elevated, but not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis. The nation’s struggle with obesity and type 2 diabetes is no surprise, but the amount of people with prediabetes is a growing issue that can be prevented or delayed with lifestyle changes such as healthy eating

and physical activity. People with prediabetes are at risk for not only developing type 2 diabetes, but cardiovascular diseases, stroke and other conditions. “You don’t have to make the changes along – the Darke County YMCA can assist. Our free, eight-week course will give you education and support to help you achieve success in preventing diabetes or successfully manage the disease,” noted Sam Casalano, CEO. The eight-week course will provide participants with weekly education, free materials and support on a wide-range of diabetes related topics including monitoring and testing, diet and nutrition, exercise, foot and eye care, medications maintenance, and making healthy choices. Classes will continue through Nov. 13, 6:157:30 p.m. There is no

cost to participate; call the Y at 548-3777 to register. Classes will be held at the YMCA, 301 Wagner Ave., Greenville. For those who attend seven of the eight weeks, a free two-month YMCA membership will be awarded. “We are grateful to Sanoﬁ and Wayne HealthCare, as well as many other community individuals, for helping us provide the classes at no cost to participants,” said Casalano. “As a leading non-proﬁt committed to youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, the Darke County YMCA is a community of diverse individuals from all walks of life supporting one another in meeting wellness goals.” For more information about the YMCA or to register for the course, contact the YMCA at 548-3777 or visitwww. ymcadarkecounty.org.

Landscape/Garden Tip of the Week GREENVILLE – Brought to by Flory Landscaping and Lawn Care Inc., Greenville, OH, Your Landscape/ Gardening tip of the week: Perennial Dividing Perennials are among the best plants to grow

because of their ease of maintenance and how very easy they establish. But by nature, perennials grow larger every year. Fall is a great time to divide the plants after they have ﬁnished blooming to control their size. A day or two before

dividing, you should water them thoroughly. The best method to divide perennials is by shoveling deep and around the plant; pry underneath the plant to lift it out the ground. When the plant is up and out of the ground, shake

the extra soil and then remove dead stems. Use pruners to separate the underground structures into individual plants. Keep the individual plants moist until you are ready to plant. Prepare the planting area by tilling the soil. Al-

ways plant the divided plants the same depth they were originally. After planting, cut back the growth to about 4 to 6 inches off the ground, and water as needed. For more information, visit Florylandscaping.com.

Make your kitchen more efﬁcient with these tips (MS) -- A lot goes on in the kitchen: preparing food, sharing meals, spending time with a friend over a cup of cof-

fee, helping children with homework, baking for holidays -- and much more. If your kitchen could use an update to become

an easier-to-use, more pleasant room, Woodcraft has some ideas and products to help you get started.”It’s amazing the

difference you can make with just a few functional and decorative changes to your home’s kitchen area. Most of these projects can be completed in a weekend. If you live close to a Woodcraft store, the staff will be happy to help you match products to any home improvement job you plan to do -- and offer knowledgeable how-to advice for using the products,” Darin Lawrence, Woodcraft director of product development, said. “For more project ideas, check out Woodcraft on Pinterest www. pinterest.com/woodcraftsupply. Woodcraft also offers how-to video, articles and instructions at www. woodcraft.com/search2/ learn.aspx.” Cabinets If you are not ready to replace kitchen cabinets, consider changing the color and hardware. Since the current trend is for darker cabinets, select an easy-to-use dark General Finishes Gel Stain, such as the popular java or antique walnut. If you choose to remove some doors for an open-shelf look, consider using a General Finishes Milk

Paint shade for the interior to complement the exterior color. For easier door opening and closing, choose a Salice Hinge in a darker titanium finish that will complement the darker cabinets. Add Hickory Hardware Door Knobs or Pulls that come in several styles and finishes. For kitchen drawers, upgrade the slides, changing from side mounts to undermount slides with Blum Tandem Plus Blumotion Concealed Drawer Runners. Reface the face frames and cabinet ends with Sauers & Co. Wood Veneer backed with 3M Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) that is presanded and ready to finish to match the cabinet doors. For cutting, use a Quad Pro Trimmer with tungsten carbide doubleedge cutters that trim veneer in either direction. For easy application of this veneer product, the FastCap Speed Roller Pro ensures consistent pressure for good results. To add or replace decorative molding for your cabinets and/or walls, cut perfectly mitered corner joints with the EZ Pro

Crown King Crown Molding Jig. The handy SharkGrip 8” Bar/Nail Puller can pry in a tight spot with little damage to molding and has curved blade that lifts molding easily. To help with molding installation, use the 3rd Hand’s articulating foot to support crown molding at an angle. Say goodbye to constant searches for items in cabinets with a DIY 22”-24” Pullout Shelf Kit. The shelves are easy to measure, cut, assemble and install. Or custom build your own pullout shelves using the Pre-cut Preﬁnished Drawer Side and Drawer Bottom material with the easy-to-use KREG Micro Pocket Drill Guide. Countertop For cluttered countertops that are home to too many small appliances and other items, consider storing ones used only occasionally elsewhere, perhaps in cabinets. To protect your valuable kitchen knives and save counter space, follow Woodcraft product development manager Ben Bice’s example and build a knife block to mount underneath the kitchen cabinet. Bice designed the block to hold his high quality ZHEN knives. See Woodcraft Magazine Issue 60 (Aug/Sept 14) for Ben’s step-by-step directions to make your own knife block -- and knives, if you are interested. Furniture General Finishes Gel and Milk Paint are also good choices to recolor your wood furniture in shades that match or complement the new cabinet look. Milk Paint offers an opportunity to add a splash of color on a small piece of furniture, shelving or a plant stand to brighten the look but not overpower the kitchen. If your wood cabinets and/or furniture only need a cover-up for nicks, scratches and other damage, Touch-Up Pens, Fill Sticks and Burn-in Sticks from Touch-Up Solutions may be the answer. They come in 10 colors, ranging from light oak to black. Lighting Add subtle lighting with Haefele 12-Volt Loox LED Strip Lights in cool or warm white. Ideal for background lighting, use under or around cabinets, around doorframes, and pretty much anywhere you want. Strips are ﬂexible, easy to install and can be cut to size. LED lighting generates very little heat, uses less energy, and has a long service life.

Plants can improve indoor air quality Indoor air quality is not often an issue in the warmer months, when many homeowners open their windows to let the fresh air of the great outdoors enter their homes in abundance. But once the temperatures begin to dip and windows start to close, indoor air quality can suffer. Musty air is not only uncomfortable, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also unhealthy. Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, can build up inside a home, especially when windows are kept shut for long stretches of time, which is often the case in winter. Indoor plants can counter such stale air, in some cases ďŹ ltering out VOCs to make the air inside a home more breathable and healthy. The following are a handful of houseplants that can improve indoor air quality. * Aloe: Many of us

know aloe for its restorative properties with regard to treating burns and cuts, but aloe also improves indoor air quality by helping to clear a home of the byproducts, including formaldehyde, of chemical-based household cleaners. Aloe loves the sun, so if you hope to keep an aloe plant healthy through the winter, be sure to place the plant in a window that gets lots of sun exposure throughout the day. * Gerber daisy: Like aloe, a gerber daisy needs ample sunlight, and tends to only withstand winters in warmer climates. But homeowners who live in such climates may still keep their windows closed in winter, and those that do can use these colorful, low-maintenance ďŹ&#x201A;owers to remove trichloroethylene, a chemical that

Make home projects a family affair Tackling home improvement projects with kids in tow can be challenging. But if kids are old enough, moms and dads can enlist their youngstersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; help when working on projects around the house. Not only can adults keep closer tabs on kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; activities, but involving kids in home projects also lets parents instill important and practical lessons at the same time. When asked to pitch in on home projects, young kids may feel proud they can lend a hand with such a â&#x20AC;&#x153;grown-upâ&#x20AC;? task. With the right instruction, children of all ages can get involved with ďŹ x-up projects and learn new skills in the process. * Include children from the start. When beginning a project, parents can make their kids a part of the design and planning process, welcoming the input of younger members of the family, especially if renovations will impact spaces they use directly. Draft a list of supplies and ask questions of the kids regarding what supplies they think will have to go into completing the project. * Shop as a family. Although it may slow you down, take children along to the home improvement store so you can purchase supplies together. Let youngsters help you as you choose materials for the project. This way they can see how the raw materials will turn into the ďŹ nished renovation. * Emphasize safety.

Children should understand that tools serve a distinct purpose and that they are not toys. Identify and explain the dangerous pieces of equipment and instruct children that they should not touch or turn on tools without an adult nearby. Go over the proper ways to handle the tools and explain the purposes of each device. Make sure everyone is wearing safety equipment, including eye protection, gloves and ear protection, while handing the tools. * Demonstrate and then let kids try. Children will not have the skills to perform more intricate tasks, but older kids can hammer some nails, mix paint or even cut wood with supervision. Assign tasks based on the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age. For example, a preteen may be able to saw wood, while a kindergartener can hand over nails and tools. Illustrate the correct way to get things done and then have children mirror your actions. * Attempt an easy project ďŹ rst. Painting a room, building a planter box, or another less complicated project can help parents gauge their kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; abilities. Involving children in home improvement projects can teach then new skills, give them a greater appreciation of the work that goes into maintaining a house, instill a sense of pride in youngsters, and provide a great chance for kids and their parents to spend quality time together.

clothes may be exposed to during the dry cleaning process. * Golden pothos: The golden pothos can survive a winter, but homeowners should be careful not to let the plant dry out, which can happen if they are directly exposed to sunlight. A golden pothos vine will grow quickly, so a hanging basket is a great way to keep one inside a home, where the plant can help ďŹ ght formaldehyde. * Ficus benjamina: Also known as a weeping ďŹ g, the ďŹ cus benjamina can be difďŹ cult to overwinter. But that does not mean your ďŹ cus benjamina, which can ďŹ lter pollutants such as benzene, formaldehyde and trichloroethylene from a home, wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it through the winter. You just need to ďŹ gure out the right watering and light conditions for the plant. Such conditions can be discussed with a garden-

ing professional. * Warneck dracaena: The warneck dracaena, or dracaena deremensis,

ďŹ ghts pollutants created by varnishes and oils. The warneck dracaena is a sturdy houseplant that is

LOCAL Banned Book Week: A perspective of history

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2014

GREENVILLE – Unsuited to age group. Sexual content. SocialBOB ROBINSON istic. ProAssociate Editor Communist. bluebagmedia.com Offensive language. Profanity. Racist… The reasons for wanting to ban books seem to be endless. In 2011, 326 books were challenged; in 2012, 464; and in 2013, 307. According to Rachel Brock, employee at the Greenville Public Library and the originator of the display, their ‘Banned Book Week’ event was part of a national event which ran from Sept. 21 to 27. “People have asked me if we were banning the books… No, we were making people aware of what has happened in the past,” she said. “We’re promoting intellectual freedom, the Library Bill of Rights.” She noted the U.S. government doesn’t ban books. “It’s typically the

result of individual or group efforts.” Brock said people need to be aware of their rights; also to recognize the reasons for banning certain books. “People have different perspectives. You need to ask why; who’s doing it? It could be the locale or the time period.” Currently the most challenged book is Captain Underpants, a comic book. Those are for children; Greenville doesn’t have a large selection. The reasons are offensive language, unsuited for age group and violence. “I agree with a parent’s right not to have their child exposed to something like that,” Brock said. “But they have no right to take that option away from other parents.” It’s a parental responsibility issue, she added. The attempt to challenge or ban books isn’t limited to children’s reading material. Many classics have been challenged and in some cases

banned… The Catcher in the Rye, The Grapes of Wrath, Brave New World, Animal Farm, Gone with the Wind, Lord of the Rings, In Cold Blood and more. Brock chose a “banned” book at random and unwrapped it: Fallen Angels. The book is one of many to come out of the Vietnam era. While a work of ﬁction, the book was allegedly based upon actual experiences. It was challenged for offensive language, violence and racism. “Gone with the Wind was challenged because it gloriﬁed marital rape and it downplayed the KKK,” Brock said. Actually there was very little about the Ku Klux Klan in the book; that became more of an issue after the time-frame of the story. Lord of the Rings was challenged because it was “anti-Christian” and Harry Potter because of “witchcraft.” The Holy Bible is also on the list of banned

books. “It’s controversial because there are so many other religions involved today.” The reason for banning Animal Farm? Brock laughed. “It would have been ﬁne if you hadn’t portrayed cops as pigs,” she said. “Our reason for doing this is so we don’t repeat old mistakes… we’re looking at this from the perspective of history.” She added the likelihood a book can actually be banned is no longer a concern since the titles are typically available on the Internet. “That doesn’t keep them from being challenged and maybe banned within a school district,” she said. Besides, she noted, challenging a book is often good for sales. “Hey, you can’t read this? How many more people are going to go out and buy it?” According to library employee David Nilsen, George Orwell’s 1984 was banned because of its emphasis on control-

Watch DOGS kick-off brings in new dads GREENVILLE – “There are two kinds of fatherlessness,” said BOB ROBINSON Chief Watch Associate Editor DOG Tom bluebagmedia.com Warner to a room full of dads Sept. 23 at Woodland Heights. “There’s the physical… he’s not there in the child’s life. Then there’s the emotional; he may be there but he’s not involved… “According to studies emotional fatherlessness may actually be more damaging to a child than the physical.” Warner was speaking to potential new recruits for Woodland’s Watch DOGS (Dads Of Great Students) program. He told them a male role model in a child’s life is not more important than that of the mother; but it’s just as important. “Kids with positive male role models develop more academically, socially, spiritually… “Where the father is absent the child is ﬁve times more likely to experience poverty and has a higher risk of crime, substance abuse and smoking; a girl is seven times more likely to become pregnant. According to Health & Human Services fatherless children are twice as likely to drop out of school.” Warner told the group the Watch DOG program has been so successful nationally it has been endorsed by the President’s Council. It brings dads into the school environ-

ment, and is especially important where there is no positive male role model in the home. “Fathers play an important role,” he said. “Kids watch us, no matter what we do.” He asked the assembled dads to come to the school and help them create the best educational opportunity possible for the kids. “We’re working together to change the culture of the United States,” he added. “Of all political issues we face, this is by far the most important.” Warner addressed the safety issue, noting Watch DOGS get a background check when they sign up and at no time are they left alone with any student. “You get a T-shirt – it lets staff know you are part of the program – and a DOG tag. You HAVE to wear the DOG tag… we won’t let you come in

without it.” Students beneﬁt from the program even when there is no dad in their own home. “Kids who are loved at home come here to learn. Kids not loved at home come here to feel loved and secure… then they too can learn.” Woodland Principal Jeff Cassell welcomed the dads and asked them to participate in the program if they could. He told them he or his assistant principal, Jodie Harter, are available if they have any questions. James Sommer, Greenville School Board president, also welcomed the group, thanking them for their desire to participate. A welcome sight to many, although she didn’t have an ofﬁcial role, was former assistant principal Lisa Maher. Warner said there were about 30 active

Watch DOGS last year. He noted more than that had signed up but were unable to schedule their time around work or other commitments. At the end of the event he commented a “lot of apps were going out the door.” Warner knew 15-20 Watch DOGS were coming back and hoped the new group would help to increase the number of dads on campus this year. Travis Clark, one of the dads who was holding his application, said “I think it’s a great program, and he’s right... There are not enough dads in the households. I came home to no father. Mom was great, but it was still hard.” Clark’s children were listening… Are you glad you have a dad at home? Girl: Yes!! Boy: Yes!! Enthusiastically.

Become a Storyteller at the Welcome Center GREENVILLE – “We’ve been looking for a new space for BOB ROBINSON ﬁve years,” Associate Editor said Deanna bluebagmedia.com York, director of the Darke County Visitors Bureau. “What better place than next door to KitchenAid Experience?” The Visitor’s Bureau, along with Main Street Greenville, will be holding a Grand Opening for their new Welcome Center on Oct. 3. York, who has been the director of the Visitor’s Bureau 14 of its 20 years of operation, is seeking “smiling faces” to talk to visitors about the good times in Greenville and Darke County. “We need volunteers,” she said. “We need residents to come in and share stories, help visitors around our communities.” She would like volunteers to spend a couple hours a week at the Center, and tell people why they stay here, why they relocated here… “I want people who know our community, what a visitor can do for a couple hours… tell what they love and why.” She added she hopes the Welcome Center volunteers can tie into Garst Museum, Bears Mill, Darke County Parks and other places of interest in Darke County. She wants to gather a number of people together to brainstorm the development of a training program for volunteers to serve their communities. York made her presentation Sept. 17 at Kiwanis of Greenville; she handed out the Visitors Bureau’s 2014-15 Visitors Guide plus a postcard with the heading “We all have a story to tell… Become a storyteller at the new Darke County Welcome

Center.” She noted both the card and the annual Visitors Guide, “Urban Country Spirit,” were nominated to receive a Ruby Award from the Ohio Travel Association. There are multiple award categories; these are in the Direct Mail and Visitors Guide categories. “They also break out the awards by budget. We fall into the under $300,000 annual budget.” She smiled as she noted her annual budget was $100,000, about a third of that of the competition. “You don’t pay it, however” York added. “Our funding comes from the ‘bed tax’ visitors pay when they stay here.” York said she had a great board of directors and was pleased they authorized the internship program that began with Baleigh Reed. Reed is a Versailles High School graduate who interned with the Visitor’s Bureau over the summer. “Baleigh did a great job,” York added. “Hopefully, the board will vote to continue to approve funding for future interns.”

“Christmas Came Early” for Brethren Retirement Community

Ladies Day Wednesday, September 15th, the BRC Good Time Girls hosted a Ladies Day - “Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Fun” for ladies over 50. The day of fun started at 10 a.m. with Registration & Refreshments followed by BINGO at 10:30. After BINGO, they had a half hour to shop in our newly expanded This N That Shop or Cafe & Gifts on Main and then

visit our Senior FITness gym before lunch was served in the Brick Room at noon. After lunch, there was a short session of Chair Zumba, followed by a game and the then live entertainment - Double Trouble with “Spittin’ Imagine”. Many thanks to everyone who spent the day with us and to all those who organized this funﬁlled event!

“Christmas Came Early” for Brethren Retirement Community at their 8th Annual Charity Auction & Dinner held on September 5, 2014 at Romer’s in Greenville. Over 300 people enjoyed the event and there were nearly 200 auction items available. Thanks to the support of those in attendance and our many sponsors and donors, we were able to raise over $45,000 for the Resident Aid Fund. The Resident Aid Fund is a vital part of our ministry. It was established to fulﬁll our mission of caring for older adults. Brethren Retirement Community expresses their heartfelt thanks to all our sponsors and the many additional business and

individuals who donated items for the auction. In addition, because of the generosity of our donors, $17,100 was also raised that evening to help fund the Behavior Based Ergonomic Therapy (BBET) program that will soon be available to all of our residents who are living with dementia and Alzheimer disease. This program will provide therapies that are individualized and comforting through appropriate cognitive exercise and non-pharmacological approaches for managing behaviors, engaging residents, and enhancing family interactions. In addition to the money raised the eve of the Gala, Brethren Retirement Community was also blessed with several lead gifts from Fifth Third Bank, BRC Ladies Auxiliary, Matt & Angie Arnold, Resident from Brethren Retirement Community’s Union campus Mill Ridge Village, and proceeds from a Mini Charity auction held at Mill Ridge Village all of which helped BRC achieve its goal of putting

four BBET Resource Centers on the BRC’s campus. Brethren Retirement Community’s new tagline, “Traditional Values, Innovative Services” speaks

volumes as we plan for the BBET program, yet another amenity that will be offered to the residents who call BRC home.

Recently, Shuff Adult Day Center held a “Grab & Go” Open House to reach out to caregivers and community professionals about the services we provide. Participants came for an educational tour then picked up a lunch to go to accommodate their lunch hour or busy lifestyle. Brethren Retirement Community has the only adult day center in Darke County. For caregivers who may be nervous or hesitant about leaving a loved alone for an extended period of time while they work or run errands, Shuff Adult Day Center replaces their anxiety with conﬁdence, knowing their loved one is safe and surrounded by people who know them. Our adult day care program provides older adults with an affordable alternative to in-home care and a way to socialize, participate in fun activities and receive care during the day while their primary caregiver takes care of errands and chores, works, or gets some rest and relaxation. Caregiver stress has been proven to be signiﬁcantly reduced when adult

day services are part of the care plan for their loved one. Shuff Adult Day Care Center provides the respite in-home caregivers need. Shuff Adult Day Care Center is bright and cheery and is conveniently located on the campus of Brethren Retirement Community. We offer hot, nutritious meals and snacks, engaging activities, as well as individualized plans for a fulﬁlling day in a safe environment.

Participants have access to hygiene care as needed, including a shower. For an additional fee participants may enjoy physical, occupational, and speech therapy, the beauty shop and transportation to and from the center. Clients may participate as little as 2 hours a day up to a fullday. We currently have openings. Please call 937547-7600 to discuss how we can partner with you in caregiving for your loved one or to schedule a tour!

Paff Scholarship Essay winners GREENVILLE – This year’s Darke County Farmers Union Scholarship Essay Contest was a tribute to an active long-time, life member of the Farmers Union who served the local Darke County Farmers Union as vice president and then president for many years. Roger W. Paff and his wife, Martha (Kuhn) Paff, participated in several trips to Farmers Union National Conventions as delegates and traveled to Washington, D.C. on several occasions to ﬁght for the rights and interests of family farmers. Roger, himself, was very much concerned with soil and water conservation and was listed as an outstanding “cooperator” with the Darke Soil and Water Conservation District: having installed pond, windbreaks, and wildlife refuges on his farm. He was also very much concerned about wildlife and was an avid and responsible hunter. Scholarships in his memory will pertain

to agricultural issues such as soil and water conversation, wildlife protection and maintenance, and sustainable agriculture for family farms. Darke County high school juniors and seniors or college freshman who have a membership in the Farmers Union (or have parents or grandparents who are members) are eligible to compete in the local county chapter’s essay contests. This year’s ﬁrst place winner is Joe Schmitz, son of Don and Tina Schmitz; Joe was a senior from Mississinawa Valley High School and will be attending The Ohio State University at Wooster, Ohio’s campus and majoring in Agricultural Business and Applied Economics. The second place winner this year is Catey Fischer, daughter of John and Amanda Fischer. Catey was a senior at Ansonia High School and will be attending the University of Findlay and majoring in Animal Science in the College of Science.

Volunteers from Trinity Lutheran Church work on mats for the homeless.

Local volunteers helping homeless VERSAILLES – The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) is working to bring volunteers into a collaborative project with Trinity Lutheran Church in Versailles, where they work to make crocheted mats for homeless people. A small group of the church ladies began making mats for the homeless in July 2011. Karen Schultz, coordinator for this project, got the idea from her mother who was also working at her church with the same project. “We had a couple ladies try to make a mat and it worked, so away we went on this journey!” said Karen. RSVP got involved this year recruiting additional volunteers to work on the mats. When the group has a supply of them completed, Pastor Bob Akins takes the mats to homeless shelters in Cincinnati, in Dayton to First Lutheran Church and St. Vincent’s, to a soup kitchen in Troy, Agape in Sidney and Safe Haven in Greenville. Karen said, “One mat even traveled to India with a missionary from the Sidney area.” The volunteers ﬁrst cut plastic grocery bags into strips and roll them into balls of “plarn” plastic yarn for this project before beginning the crochet process. A group of

RSVP volunteers in Shelby County is also working on creating the plarn balls and donating to the church for the mats project. The group meets to make the mats the ﬁrst Saturday of every month. Donations of plastic bags are always welcome and will help with all of the programs. Bag donations can be dropped off at the Trinity Lutheran Church basement every weekday morning from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. and all day on Wednesday. The ladies working on the mat project are: Diane Schrader, Karen Lawrence, Evelyn Frantz, Ginny Moorman, Mary Seman, Mary Buxton, Karen Schultz, Shila Magoto, Cynthia Vogel, Cindy Lewis, and Evelyn Gaier. If you have any questions about volunteering for the project, just give Ahby Mangen, the RSVP recruiter, a call at 5488002 or email her at rsvpdk@councilonruralservices.org. If you would like to volunteer in a more active position, Ahby can match you up with many of our other non-proﬁts that need assistance also. For more information about the programs of Council on Rural Services … programs for innovative learning, check the website at www.councilonruralservices.org.

Stay within your project budget Home improvement projects range from small scale undertakings that can be tackled in a single weekend to large remodels that can take

several months to complete. While no two projects are the same, every home improvement project demands that homeowners dip into their

pockets and spend some money. Much like the scale of projects varies greatly, so, too, do the ﬁnancial commitments required

of homeowners to make those projects a reality. But no matter the size of the project, homeowners can find ways to stretch their budgets without sacrificing the quality of their improvements. * Do your homework. Before you decide to make changes to your home, it’s best to first do some research into any potential projects you’re considering. Many homeowners have decided to dive into a project before they fully realize its scope and cost, and going in blind can bust a budget, turning what might have seemed like a relatively simple project into a money pit. Understanding just what a project entails and how much it’s likely to cost can give homeowners an idea of what they can afford and where they might be able to stretch their budgets. For example, if you want to replace your kitchen countertops but can’t afford engineered quartz countertops, you might be able to find a less expensive alternative, such as tile, that you like just as much. But it’s best to research such alternatives before you decide to replace your existing countertops. If you can’t find a less expensive alternative, you might want to postpone the project until you can grow your budget. But starting the project without first grasping its true cost is a recipe for disaster, so do your homework before you find your toolbox and start working. * Build unforeseen expenses into your budget. Another way to stay within your budget is to include budget-busting unforeseen expenses into the budget from the getgo. Whether you’re doing the project yourself or paying a contractor, nearly every home improvement project will present some unforeseen, and costly, hurdles. For example, you might find mold inside the

Homeowners willing and able to pitch in on their home projects can save themselves a substantial amount of money on labor costs.

walls when you’re converting a basement, and it can cost a pretty penny to make that mold go away. If you go into the project expecting such hurdles, then the ﬁnancial sting of addressing them won’t prove too great a burden. But if the mold catches you and your budget completely off guard, you might be forced to overextend that budget or make sacriﬁces elsewhere in order to complete the project. Build some contingency money, including permit and permit fees, into your home improvement project to safeguard against such unforeseen issues. * Get to work. If you’re hiring a contractor, speak to him or her before signing a contract to see if there is anywhere you can pitch in to keep the labor costs low. You might be able to pitch in during the demolition phase, saving the cost of paying your contractor’s workers to tear down walls or remove debris you can just as easily remove yourself. Another way to pitch in is to do the end-of-day cleanup yourself. Any role you play with regard to la-

bor will likely need to be negotiated upfront, but you can save yourself a substantial amount of money on labor if you’re willing to get your hands dirty. * Determine if piecemeal is the most affordable option. Sometimes it makes sense to tackle one project at a time, while other times you might want to combine projects to save on the cost of materials. For instance, if your ultimate goal is to install wood flooring throughout your home, determine if it makes more financial sense to install the flooring all at once rather than doing one or two rooms at a time. You might save by buying all of your materials at once rather than buying a small amount of materials several times over the next several years. Home improvement projects often go a long way toward making a home more enjoyable for its owners and inhabitants. And while such projects can be costly, homeowners who stay disciplined can still get their dream homes without busting their budgets.

It is more pleasurable to take a walk to view the scenery, then to feel like we are punishing ourselves with a 30 minute walk. If we view the scenery while walking we have already rewarded ourselves. Individuals, who fell that their walk is a punishment, may use food as a reward. So how can you move

your body in a fun way? * Distract yourself by listening to music or book on tape while walking, jogging or riding bike. * Join a club for walking, hiking, or biking * Walk a new route, walk with a friend, and enjoy the scenery (colors of trees or window shop) * Technical fun. Try dancing or ﬁtness games on PlayStation2, Wii or Wii Fit. * Turn up the music and dance in your house * Ride stationary bike while watching TV or reading a book * Listen to music during your workout. Each song is 3-4 minutes. So after you listen to 6-7 songs you have exercised for 30 minutes. * Do a sport/activity exercise like tennis, golf, swimming, bike riding or bowling If you think of physical activity as a chore, it will be difﬁcult to set aside time to be active. Instead, think of it as a break from

your daily schedule. Having fun is also a great stress reducer. Remember that stress can also raise your blood sugar level.

Versailles resident releases first novel VERSAILLES – Jodie (Richard) Bohman, of Versailles, recently published her first novel And I Believe. This book is a realistic fictional story about cancer. “I started writing this when I was pregnant with my youngest daughter in 2004. I have never taken any writing classes, and to be honest, didn’t really like English class when I was in school. But I have always had a creative imagination, and I finally decided to put those thoughts on

paper. My father-in-law, Fred Bohman’s battle with pancreatic cancer is what pushed me to write what I wrote. While I never had the chance to meet him, for he passed away before I married his son, I still wanted to write something to honor him.” “The story takes place in the small town of Versailles. Being a ﬁrst time writer, it was easy for me to write about surroundings I’m familiar with. Since I have never lived anywhere but Versailles, it was obvious to choose it as the town for my book. I also wanted to acknowledge how great our community and surrounding communities are when it comes to pulling together in hard times and tragedy.” “The storyline itself is made up as are all the characters except for one

and that is Holly McEldowney. Holly is a really good friend of mine who, at the young age of 38, was diagnosed with colon cancer. Her ﬁght at beating the odds against cancer was something I wanted to share. Plus, during her battle, her many updates on Care Pages opened my eyes to the hell a person with cancer goes through, and I wanted to relay this message to my readers.” “While the story isn’t real, cancer is, and unfortunately, I know way too many people who have fought it, are currently ﬁghting it, or have lost their battle to it. This book is dedicated to all of them.” A couple reader reviews on And I Believe:

“Fantastic novel...engages you from the ﬁrst page with relatable characters and keeps you engrossed throughout as they deal with relationships, love, loss, and most importantly, hope. Written with such detail, the story comes to life as you turn each page, easily visualizing each interaction between these likeable & realistic characters. Such an emotional roller coaster ride, having you laugh throughout and then cry, before discovering a beautiful ﬁnale.” “This is a tale of life, love, and loss. It’s a charming read that you won’t be able to put down until the very end.” For more information, visit www.jodierichardbohman.com.

Gaines to sign book at Bread of Life GREENVILLE – Historical Fiction Author Doris Gaines Rapp will be at Bread of Life Bookstore on Oct. 4, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a book signing and publicity on her newly released book “Smoke From Distant Fires.” Author of “Escape from the Belfry,” and “Length of Days – The Age of Silence,” Rapp has written a well-crafted story in her latest book, appropriate for ages ten and up. The book is intended to help children and adults accept whatever embarrassment their families may have caused them and to develop their own individuality. In the story, Millie Bryson discovers Shawnee Indians in her family’s past. It’s 1925 and memories of the Indian Wars,

and what happened to some of the early settlers, are still fresh in some of their minds. The kids in her eighth grade class at school tease her and call her an Indian-lover. Her friend, Silvia, tries to find peace from Old Grandfather. When Silvia goes missing, it’s up to Millie and her friends to find her in time. But, they find the man in the straw hat. Did he hurt Silvia or save her? Millie’s dad accepts his own challenge and speaks up for an Indian. But, Millie does not want to stand out or be noticed. Will she stand up for her ancestors and her friends? Can she overcome teasing and bullying and embrace her distant past? Readers of this book have expressed enthusiasm for “Smoke from Dis-

tant Fires” and encourage others to read it. “This fast-paced historical novel will appeal to young people who will relate to Millie’s and Silvia’s fears of being different. It will also reveal some of the misunderstood story of our nation’s past.” - Debbie W. Wilson, winner of the Christy Award for “Tiger in the Shadows.” Doris Gaines Rapp has been interested in promoting acceptance and improvement of self for many years and has earned a Ph.D. in psychology. She and her husband have three birth children and three adopted children. Watching the development of people over all their formative years has been an exciting blessing. Twenty percent of the 2014 proﬁts from “Smoke

from Distant Fires” are being donated to work with families and children through the United Methodist Women and local family programs. Doris Gaines Rapp is dedicated to the development of a scholarship for mothers of young children to attend Huntington University if the book sells more than 100,000 copies. This scholarship can cover babysitting expenses, commuter costs, computer updating, needs not covered by grants and loans. Bread of Life Bookstore is located at 107 W. Main Street, Greenville. Call 547-1132 for more information. The book signing is free and open to the public. Rapp will have books available to purchase that day.

Students complete scientiﬁc research GREENVILLE – On Feb. 26, 2015, local students will once again be presenting the results of their independent science or engineering project to qualiﬁed judges and the public. Besides learning more about STEM careers (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), these young scientists will also gain skills in topic research, problem solving and public speaking, and they will be eligible for over $2000 in awards. Students who earn a “Superior” rating at the county level will be eligible to compete at the District Science Day in March. Last year, students from four Darke County Schools made it to the district level and several competed successfully at the 2014 State Science Day held at The Ohio State University. The inquiry and application skills the students gain through this program

will not only prepare them for future career aspirations but will also prepare them for the state assessments, national standardized tests and the rigors of other academic courses. Upper Miami Valley Science Days (UMVSD), a local cooperative of educators, businesses and professionals who currently oversee the program in four counties, administers this educational program. The Darke County Science Day will be hosted by Greenville High School. Any student, grade 6-12 (in some cases ﬁfth graders) and who is a resident of Darke County, is eligible to participate in the Darke County Science Day program. The student may attend public school, private school, or be home-schooled. Students attending middle or high school at Ansonia, Bradford, Franklin-Monroe, Greenville, Tri-Village

or Versailles should watch for school announcements about a Science Day Kickoff meeting in early October, or they can contact their science teacher who will have more information on how to select a project topic as well as the registration form and schedule. Students (and their parents) attending school districts not mentioned above, and students being home-schooled, should go directly to the UMVSD website (www.ohioumvsd. com) for information on the program and instructions for participation. In order to meet research deadlines, students should sign up prior to Oct. 10. While it is recommended that students complete projects individually, teams of 2-3 students are permitted. Research topic categories include animal and plant sciences, medicine and health, chemistry, physics, computer science,

energy and transportation, engineering and materials science, environmental science and more. Because student participation in the program is growing, UMVSD is also seeking more qualiﬁed judges, mentors, event volunteers, event sponsors and special awards sponsors. Some of our 2014 sponsors included Aptalis, CMD Technologies, Edison Community College, Darke County Educational Service Center, Greenville High School, BASF Corporation, Darke County Economic Development, Dr. Michael Maher and many local families and individuals. For additional information, questions, or to register a student, contact UMVSD at info@ohioumvsd. com, or Angie McMurry, Science Curriculum Coordinator at the Darke County ESC, 548-4915 ext. 221 or angela_mcmurry@darke. k12.oh.us.
