WEEKEND EDITION - SEPTEMBER 30, 2018

THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF THE GREAT DARKE COUNTY FAIR!

127/Kruckeberg Road project will begin summer 2019 SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – By this time next year, the U.S. 127/Kruckeberg Road intersection re-configuration project will just about be complete, says Jonathan Koester, project manager with ODOT. In January 2017, a meeting was held to get public input about the changes, then in June 2017, ODOT announced plans to re-configure the intersection, which has seen its share of traffic issues, including several fatalities. According to a letter dated Sept. 18 and sent to local service providers,

ODOT proposes to modify the intersection from an all movement intersection to a R Restricted Crossing U-Tnurn. An S median will be installed at the intersection to prevent through and left-turning movements from Krukeberg onto U.S. 127. U-Turn facilities to accommodate these movements will be constructed on U.S. 127 north and south of the intersection. “We did the study and we had the public meeting to get input,” explained Mary Hoy, ODOT District Trafﬁc Safety Engineer. “That (public input) was taken into consideration. We wanted to improve safety and the design we

selected seems to meet that criteria the best.” The estimated $1.2 million project, which is being paid for by both federal and state funding, Koester said, will be bid out in May 2019, with work set to begin in early summer. The project is expected to take up to seven months, however, Koester said, drivers may be able to see most of the work being completed in the fall. Traffic on U.S. 127 will be maintained during construction, although lane closures will be required. Kruckeberg Road traffic will be detoured at the intersection for up to five months.

Motorists will see a new traffic pattern at U.S. 127 and Kruckeberg Road by the end of 2019.

Adult Senior Job Fair a success SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Looking to “connect the dots” between local workforce and older adults looking for jobs, the first senior job fair was hosted Thursday by the Darke County Economic Development office. The three-hour event, held at Oakley Place, saw more than 30 seniors during the first 30 minutes. Local businesses participating in the job fair included Lowe’s, Kroger, Oakley Place, Brethren Retirement Community, Brookdale, Rural King, Wayne HealthCare and Spirit Medical. “It’s been a very good morning for a first-time event,” said Mike Bowers, director, Darke County Development. “We’re trying to meet the needs of our companies and looking to connect the dots,” between businesses and local seniors looking for part time employment. One of those seniors checking out the local job market was Greenville resident Victor Lockwood, who attended with his wife Linda. Lockwood, who retired 26 years ago from a U.S. Post Office position in the Dayton area, said he’s ea-

ger to ﬁnd a part time position. “I’m bored,” Kirkwood said while checking out the Rural King display. “With winter coming on I’ll have even less to do.” According to Kris Hurd, administrative coordinator, Rural King has several positions open, including cashiers, maintenance and stockers. The Brethren Retirement Community is looking for nurses, STNAs and home health care workers, said Justin Westfall, HR specialist. “We have a wide variety of opportunities,” Westfall said, adding that BRC is offering a $500 sign on bonus for home healthcare workers through Oct. 1. Oakley Place, said community relations manager Sandy Baker, was happy to host Thursday’s fair in “support of the economic development’s efforts. Anything we can do to help the community out,” Baker said, noting the job fair may become a yearly event. Oakley Place again will be supporting breast cancer awareness with their upcoming 5th annual Christmas in October event, set for Oct. 27. So far, Baker said, more than 20 vendors will be on hand with holiday crafts and items for sale.

NEW MADISON – Perry Fraylick and brother Keenan, both New Madison natives, are preparing to set off for a journey to help find a cure for all children with cancer. They will be doing this aboard bicycles, taking off the first or second week of June and finish the first or second week in July. They will start in Florence, Ore., and finish in Virginia Beach, Va. “Fewer things make me happier than to change the lives of children with cancer by raising awareness, supporting families, and empowering everyone to help cure childhood cancer,” Perry said. “As our cause continues to struggle, our ability to assist in over 800 research studies is greatly aided by the public’s support. My brother and I are biking across America in correlation to this cause.” Kick-It is the name of their volunteer-driven organization. “As we trek across the country, we hope to spread awareness about childhood cancer with our travels,” he said. “Secondly, and more

Perry and Kennan Fraylick will be riding their bikes across the country to cure childhood cancer.

importantly, we strive to inspire children that are battling cancer, and give them the hope and opportunities to follow in our footsteps. No child should be spending their childhood in hospitals, away from friends, school and play. Additionally, no parent should endure the ﬁnancial strain that follows; they should be focused on one thing: their child. By donating to ALSF (Kick-it) and our journey, donors will be directly assisting more than 800 different research programs, supporting families and empowering everyone to help cure pediatric cancer.” Perry said it was Zac

Graham, his previous TriVillage cross country coach, who was the ﬁrst person to expose the idea to him. “When I ran for him, he had talked about how he would really like to do it someday, and since he was my role model growing up, I adapted the same dream,” Perry said. “Now that my brother is in college and I’m a teacher, we both have summers off to complete the trip. We would love for Zac to go with us, but he has a family now, so it’s hard to just pack up and leave for a month, but we’re still trying to convince him.” Perry, 26, graduated from Tri-Village in 2010, worked at Quicken Loans

for a couple of years, and now is in his second year of teaching at SMCC in Sandusky. Brother Keenan is 19, the valedictorian from Tippecanoe High School in 2017, and is now studying aerospace engineering at Purdue. What have they been doing to prepare for their journey? “Years of cross country, marathon, and Ironman training that we have accrued,” Perry responded. “We are training for an Ultra Marathon during the winter to maintain our ﬁtness level, until it is warm enough stopping by communities and gathering donations and pledges on our bike breaks.” The link to their fundraiser can be found at https:// www.alexslemonade.org/ mypage/1567280. “There are a lot more details on here! Every business that donates $250 will have their logo marketed on our webpage, and on our cycling jersey for the trip. We have a group of seniors (TLC group) at my school who will be raising donations soon. In addition, we already have a golf course in Cleveland that is hosting a scramble, and is donating the proceeds to this event.”

Manufacturing Day to be observed Oct. 5 DARKE COUNTY – Darke County Commissioners have proclaimed Friday, Oct. 5, as 2018 National Manufacturing Day. On Wednesday, Sept. 26, representatives from the Darke County Economic Development Of Ofﬁce as well as several local manufacturers gathered in the county administrative ofﬁce for the signing.

of goods provides the nation’s workforce. In Darke County, Manufacturing Day will again be noted by several companies providing educational plant tours for high school students on Friday, Oct. 5.

Man high on cough syrup requests more ‘devil’s juice’ to survive ASSAULT

On Sept. 20 officers were dispatched to the 200 block of Oxford Drive where two complainants reported Doug Green was high on cough medicine, had hit them and was not acting right. An officer went inside the residence and made contact with Green, who was wearing only a Tshirt, and according to the report, was mumbling things about “what God had told him to do.” The officer told Green to put on some pants and come down stairs. When asked, Green told officers he was addicted to over-the-counter cough medicine and has been for more than 10 years. He admitted he recently had consumed an entire

400 MG bottle, which made two bottles for the day. Greenville Township Rescue arrived on scene to treat Green, who was able to answer all questions and refused any further treatment. While on the porch, Green tried several times to push his way past officers to see one of the complainants. Officers advised him several times to stop and he wouldn’t comply so they sat him down and made him cross his legs. Green was told multiple times to stop interfering with the investigation. While listening to the complainants speak, Green stood up and tried again to push his way past officers. At that time officers again assisted him to the ground and gave him sev-

eral more verbal warnings to stop interfering. After realizing Green was too disoriented to comprehend commands, the officers placed him in the rear seat of a patrol car for his safety. They buckled the seatbelt and locked it into place and when the door closed, Green unbuckled the seatbelt and started yelling.

On Sept. 22 an officer observed a vehicle being operated westbound on Russ Road. The vehicle went left of the center line before turning right on Radcliffe Drive. The vehicle also had no license plate light. A traffic stop was made on the vehicle on Radcliffe Drive near Brighton Drive. The officer identified the operator of the vehicle as James McClure. McClure had bloodshot eyes and was slurring his speech. When asked if he’d been drinking, McClure said he’d only had a couple drinks. He consented to perform field sobriety tests and while following instructions on where to go and stand, he seemed disoriented, could not follow directions and was unable to perform one of the tests. McClure was placed under arrest for operating under the influence. McClure was taken to the Greenville Police Department, where he consented to an Intoxilyzer test. The test results showed his BAC percentage was .247. He was placed under an administrative license suspension and cited for DUI. James was released to his daughter. A warning was issued for the license plate light.

WANTED PERSON

On Sept. 23 an officer was dispatched to Walmart on the report of a suspicious vehicle. The officer observed a female identified as Vanessa Keen exiting the vehicle. The officer had dispatch check Keen through LEADS/NCIC and discovered she had an active warrant for child endangering. Keen was arrested and transported to the Darke County Jail, where she was incarcerated with no bond. On Sept. 20 an officer was dispatched to the 400 block of East Main Street in reference to a

possible attempted burglary. Upon arrival, the officer could hear defendant Terry Hamilton yelling in the 400 block of East Water Street. The officer located the defendant a few seconds later and he was sweating profusely and yelling. The defendant was hallucinating and said he was being chased and his girlfriend and child were hiding in a trash can. The defendant also believed he was in St Louis, Mo. The defendant’s ID card was run through LEADS, which revealed an active bench warrant for his arrest out of St. Louis for a probation violation with the original charge of having a dangerous drug. While being transported to the county jail, Hamilton began having a seizure in the back of the police car. Greenville Township Rescue Squad was contacted and they transported the defendant to the hospital. The officer stayed with Hamilton until he was medically cleared. After he was cleared, the defendant was transported to the Darke County Jail where he was incarcerated with no bond. On Sept. 25 the Darke County Municipal Court contacted the police department to say Carissa Foster was there and she had an outstanding bench warrant for criminal trespass with no bond and must serve 22 days in jail. Two officers responded to the Municipal Court and located Foster. She was taken into custody and her purse was searched. No contraband was located. Foster was transported to the Darke County Jail. On Sept. 25 two officers arrived at a residence in the 200 block of East Main Street in reference to a wanted person. The complainant advised officers that Shannon Vanhorn was staying at the Town House Motel on a voucher from the GPD. The complainant told officers Vanhorn had an active warrant from Eaton. The officers made contact with the owner of

the property, who gave officers Vanhorn’s room number. The officers made contact with Vanhorn and verified the outstanding warrant through LEADS/NCIC. Vanhorn was placed under arrest and was transported to the Darke/Preble County line, where she was placed into the custody of a Preble County officer. Vanhorn’s warrant was for failure to appear on a larceny charge with a bond of $4,000.

SHOPLIFTING

On Sept. 25 an officer responded to CVS in Greenville on the report of a theft in progress. The complainant told dispatch there were two males, one in a red shirt and one in a black shirt. Upon arrival, the officer observed a male in a red shirt and identified him as Vincent Arnold. The officer ordered Arnold to get off his bicycle and put his hands behind his back. The officer asked Arnold who the other suspect was and Arnold said it was Dustin Kendrick. Arnold was detained for an investigation. Every time the officer asked Arnold where the items were that he stole, he did not acknowledge taking anything. Arnold was patted down for weapons, narcotics or any other illegal items prior to placing him in the rear seat of the police cruiser. During the pat down, the officer located a bag of beef jerky

in the front waistband of the suspect’s pants. Dispatch called officers again and advised CVS was reporting the second subject was still inside the store, but had put all the items he had been concealing back. At this time, Kendrick exited the store and an officer told him they needed to speak with him. An officer also spoke to the manager of CVS, who said Arnold placed a bag of beef jerky in his waistband and walked past all points of sale and exited the store without paying for the jerky. The manager told officers Kendrick put all the items back he had selected and had started to conceal. Arnold was cited for theft and released from the scene. Both Arnold and Kendrick were warned for trespass at CVS. EARLY BIRD POLICY The Greenville Police Beat is prepared from public records available at the Greenville Police Department.

Wead enters guilty plea BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – Eddie R. Wead, 61, of Greenville, entered a guilty plea Tuesday to two counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor. Visiting retired Common Pleas Court Judge Roger Wilson of Champaign County accepted Wead’s plea, ﬁnding him guilty on both charges. Wead was indicted in January and was originally charged with ﬁve counts, including two counts of sexual battery and one count of sexual imposition.

Wilson continued Wead’s own recognizance bond and set a sentencing date for Nov. 19. The victim, said Darke County Assistant Prosecutor Jim Bennett, was informed of Tuesday’s plea hearing, but opted not to attend. Wead is being represented by Troy attorney John Herndon, who requested a pre-sentence investigation be completed. Wilson ordered Wead to report to the court’s pre-sentencing personnel immediately following Tuesday’s hearing.

Chamber hosts State of the Nation with Rep. Davidson BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Local business and government leaders met Friday for the State of the Nation Legislative Luncheon, hosted by the Darke County Chamber of Commerce. Guest speaker Congressman Warren Davidson gave an update about several issues facing the country and the impacts some are having on the local economy. “It’s an honor to be back in Darke County and meet with you again,” Davidson told attendees, gathered at Romer’s Catering. “It’s been a pretty eventful two years in ofﬁce.” Davidson was appointed to ﬁll Rep. John Boehner’s seat in June 2016, and was elected to the position in November of that year. One of the topics Davidson discussed was the need to grow the workforce – which also is a local concern. “We need more people,” he said, explaining how recent regulation reforms, policy changes and tax reform have all led to a growing economy across the

Asphalt and Chamber Chairman; and Jeff Kniese, President of Greenville Federal Bank. (Susan Hartley photo)

U.S. For example, during President Donald Trump’s two years in ofﬁce, Davidson said, there have been “23 regulations removed for every new one.” The current administration, he said, “was restoring the status quo” by removing regulation put in place by former administrations. One area Davidson said he sees as concerning are tariffs being implemented by the Trump White House. “I’m not convinced his tariffs on everybody will work,” Davidson said, citing his belief that more individualized sanctions

could be implemented by the U.S. For example, Davidson said, placing sanctions on shipping companies who continue to bring steel from China into the U.S. Davidson said he doesn’t adhere to countries being “bullied into a deal” as far as placing tariffs on their goods. “That is hurting our own companies,” he said. Davidson said he’d also recently shared his perspective on tariffs with Peter Navarro, who serves as the Director of White House National Trade Council, pointing out Other topics currently

on elected officials’ desks and briefly covered by Davidson on Friday included immigration, the Armed Forces and healthcare. Following his presentation, Davidson was presented the Spirit of Enterprise Award by Maggie Sheely, Senior Manager of Congressional and Public Affairs of the U.S. Chamber. Also Friday, the Darke County Chamber introduced a new program starting in October. Good Morning, Darke will address “hot topics” during an hour-long morning program. The first Good Morning, Darke will take place Friday, Oct. 12, in the Brick Room at the Brethren Retirement Community will feature Darke County Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein and Deputy Sheriff Mark Whittaker speaking Ohio Issue 1, Drug and Criminal Justice Policies Initiative, which will appear on the Nov. 6 ballot. For more information, contact the Chamber at 937-549-2102. The registration deadline is Oct. 10.

Event links schools with businesses ROSSBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mercer, Auglaize, Shelby and Darke Counties will be hosting an inaugural event, Inspire Career Concert for high school seniors. The event will be held on Oct. 3 at Eldora Speedway during Manufacturing Week. The goal is to actively link High School Seniors from a four-county area to local businesses for future internships, summer, or fulltime employment possibilities in the future. This is a great opportunity to bring high school seniors together with local employers in order to make a meaningful personal connection before they graduate. The senior event will include a career fair (both in the morning and afternoon), two keynote speakers, and a band to keep the students energized. The keynote speakers will include Jeremy Bout. His story-driven keynote presentations include underlying life skills lessons, such as hard work leads to success - it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be handed to you, you will be pushed out of your comfort zone, and failure stinks, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you do when you fail that deďŹ nes you. The second keynote speaker is Michelle Poler.

She has spoken at TEDx, Google, INBOUND, Facebook, ESPN, NetďŹ&#x201A;ix, Procter and Gamble, Microsoft, Toyota, World Domination Summit, Festival of Media Global, and many more. There are nearly 1,000 students from Mercer, Auglaize, Shelby, and Darke Counties registered with almost 100 local businesses attending. They continue to believe that their best hope for talent acquisition is right here at home. This event is a great example of collaboration in action. The event is being sponsored by Hometown Opportunity, Auglaize Mercer Business Education Alliance (AMBE), Partnering for Progress, Darke County Economic Development, Workforce Partnership of Shelby County, Mercer County ESC, Auglaize County ESC, Midwest Regional ESC, Sidney Shelby Economic Partnership, Auglaize County, Mercer County, Darke County, Shelby County, City of Sidney, NKTelco, Eldora Speedway, and Ohio Means Jobs in Mercer, Auglaize and Shelby Counties.

Best friends are truly forever Lindaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mood Swings by Linda Moody bluebagmedia.com

I have been blessed with lots of friends in my lifetime and feel honored that I can say that. Some I met in childhood, numerous others during my career and still more in day-to-day living. I think I can truly say many of them are best friends even if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see or talk to each other daily. Death has taken quite a few of them away, especially in recent years, and that makes me appreciate those who are still alive even more because of their love and kindness theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve shared with me. I just hope I can still

add to my friendship list as times goes on and keep the ones that have been there through thick and thin (mostly thick). What makes a good friend? For me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s someone who cares and is true and honest. Trustworthy, dependable, loyal, nonjudgmental and being a good listener are the basic traits that are needed to maintain a friendship. I would love to name all of my friends, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m limited in my writing here. Besides, I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to leave anyone out. Thanks to those who consider themselves my friends, and I hope you know who you are. ***** Please pray for these people: Terri Hunt, Jack Good, Mary Faller, Wayne Neal, Bill Schellenbarg,

The American South finished the season with all teams below the 500 mark. “In the American North it is always going to be Greenville, Tipp, Butler and Troy,” said Greenville Coach Jim Koontz. “Sidney is getting better and Piqua is getting a lot better too. It is by far the toughest conference.” “Beavercreek and Centerville; the “big boys” – it’s real tough too,” Coach Koontz noted of the girls GWOC National East division. “We went 15-3 on the season,” noted Koontz. “That is something to be really proud of. We finished out the regular season with five consecutive 5-0 wins and nine 5-0 shutouts in our last 11 matches.” “I am really happy for them,” Coach Koontz said. “They are a great group to work with.”

GREENVILLE – The Lady Wave varsity volleyball team won their ninth consecutive match by shutting out the visiting Fairborn Lady Skyhawks 3-0 in a Tuesday night home contest. “It was a good night,” said Coach Michelle Hardesty. “I don’t think it was our best night playing against a team that wasn’t quite up to our level, to be kind, but we brought home a win.” Greenville grabbed an 11-4 ﬁrst set lead bringing a timeout from the visitor’s bench on their way to a 25-14 win to lead 1-0 on the night.

Coach Koontz took time to talk about each of his seniors. “Katie has been with the program four years and two years at the junior high so that’s six years,” Koontz said of Baughman. “She gives it all she has, plays hard and she has been a pleasure to work with.” “Rose just came out again this year,” noted Koontz of Blocker. “She came out her freshman year, didn’t come out her sophomore and junior years.

Franklin Monroe & Arcanum volleyball teams raise funds GAYLEN BLOSSER

PITSBURG – The Franklin Monroe Lady Jets defeated the Arcanum Lady Trojans 3-1 in a Saturday volleyball match to raise funds for Bunco 4 Boobies. “Through all of our efforts we have raised just under $200,000 for the Cancer Association of

Darke County and area cancer patients,” said Jessica Artz, President of Bunco 4 Boobies. “One hundred percent of the money we raise stays in Darke County.” The Lady Jets took the ﬁrst set by a 25-20 score with Arcanum battling back to win set No. 2 by a 25-23 count. Franklin Monroe went up 2-1 on the day with a

25-13 win and went on to defeat the visitors 25-21 to win the non-conference match. “It is a fun day for the girls and we got a good win out of it too,” FM Coach Angie Filbrun stated. “It’s just a good day to see the communities come together, work together for a good cause.” “It’s a great cause – I love us supporting it,” Arcanum Coach Macey O’Dell said. “The money is going to Bunco 4 Boobies this year and the local family that is in need of some help. I love that we are keeping it local this year and giving money to where it is needed.”

Greenville Athletic Boosters donate Hydration Station BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Through generous donations and the Greenville Athletic Boosters, the Green Wave athletic program has a much needed new Hydration Station for outdoor sports. “We were approached by some of the parents from some of the fall sports,” said Greenville Athletic Boosters President, Randall Bowman. “Our trainer is in charge of keeping the water jugs full and those 12 ounce jugs are really hard to keep up with so she really can’t do her job as far as a trainer when she is ﬁlling water bottles, so the boosters approached us and we all thought it was a really good idea.” “It is great that our athletic boosters continue to support the needs of our student athletes in our programs here,” said Greenville Athletic Director, Dusty Yingst. The new mobile hydration system holds 40 gallons of water and 10 gallons of ice and has 16 nozzles. “The Hydration Station is something that was truly needed, not only for our student athletes but for our trainer and our student

trainers,” Yingst stated. “Before we had it they were running back and forth between game fields, practice fields and inside events with five, six, seven water jugs a day, 10 racks of water bottles.” “With this hydration station they wheel it out to the football field and it usually lasts us two days and stays cold. It has 16 nozzles on it so 16 different kids can be using it at one time. It’s going to be great for track and field season too.” “It will be placed at the finish line where the kids can come right from their event and use it,” added Yingst. “It cuts down on our cups, cuts down on water bottles. It cuts down on the time that Alyse (Grillot, Athletic Trainer) and her student trainers have to spend every day just getting water jugs ready and where they need to be.” “The entire Booster team did this and the community obviously,” said Bowman. “The proceeds that we get from selling anything, our reverse raffle, the apparel that we sell out front before the game, the donuts we sell after game, anything that we do like that that makes money goes back to the student athletes.”

UNION CITY – The Mississinawa Valley Lady Blackhawks played well against the visiting Minster Lady Wildcats only to come up short 3-1 on the night. “It’s hard when you go in and the girls know Minster is going to be a tough team,” said MV Coach Billie Hunt. “They went in with a very positive attitude of – let’s get in there, let’s play hard, let’s see what they can do, let’s see what things we can ﬁgure out from what they are doing tonight.” Set No. 1 had the teams even early at 2-2 and 3-3 with the visitors moving out to an 8-5 advantage. Minster scored eight unanswered points to ex-

tend its lead to 16-5 on their way to a 25-15 win and lead 1-0 on the night. The second set had the teams even at 2-2, 3-3, 7-7, 11-11 and 12-12 with

the Lady Wildcats going on a 6-0 run to lead 18-12 and bring a timeout from the Lady Hawks bench. MV would battle back to trail by two, 20-18 only to have the Minster girls go on to win 25-21 and take a 2-0 lead. “I was pleased with the girls play,” Hunt said. “We had some down moments and some serve receive trouble that killed us in the ﬁrst couple. We probably should have made a couple of adjustments a little quicker.’ Set No. 3 had the Lady Hawks taking an early lead at 8-4 only to have the visitors knot the score at 15-15, 16-16 and move ahead of MV 19-17. Not to be outdone, the Lady Hawks scored seven unanswered points to lead

24-19 and win the set 2521 and trail 2-1. “I was just pleased to see that my girls didn’t get ﬂustered, they didn’t get down,” Hunt noted. “You really didn’t see them getting down. They had some slow moments but I really didn’t see them getting down.” Minster jumped out to a 6-1 third set lead on their way to a 25-13 win and take the non-conference match three games to one. “It’s really hard for us and that has been kind of a struggle for us all season – we’re low numbers,” Coach Hunt said of team practices. “I have ofﬁcially eight girls on varsity and a couple JV girls I bring up.”

Invitation to pray for country at St. Mary’s GREENVILLE – Where is our country and our world going? Every day we hear of increasing political and church scandals. Ongoing conﬂicts around the world, increasing natural disasters, which seem to be growing in intensity. In 1917, our Blessed Mother appeared to three shepherd children at Fatima. A that time she told them, if the world did not turn back to God, there would be dire consequences in the world. She asked the children and the world to pray the rosary daily and do penance. Much of the world had rejected the Blessed Mothers request for prayer and penance; and as she told the children in 1917, the world has indeed experienced dire events, several major world wars, many catastrophic natural disasters and the loss of the innocence of children. How can we combat the evil that has taken over the world? Prayer is a great weapon and the Holy Rosary is the greatest weapon. This was well exhibited by

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

the Holy Rosary Crusade of Reparation begun in Vienna, Austria in 1947. Much of Austria was suspected to terrible atrocities and tyrannies of communism. Father Petrus Pavlicek asked the people of Austria to come out of their homes to participate in a public Rosary procession in the streets of Vienna, they were to pray for the end of communism in their country and in the world. Father Pavlicek, traveled throughout Austria, carrying a statue of our Lady of Fatima, promoting the Rosary Crusade, at ﬁrst the groups were small, but they grew to staggering proportions, with members of the government participating. In 1955 after eight years of spreading the word about the Crusade, their prayers were answered and Soviet Forces unexpectedly left Austria. On Oct. 13, there will be an anticipated 23,000 Rosary Crusades across the United States, heeding our Lady of Fatima’s call for public prayer. St. Mary’s Catholic Church will again sponsor a Rosary Rally on the city circle. They invite all denominations to join them in praying the Rosary on Saturday, Oct. 13 at noon.

North Park hosted the 2018 Harvest Home reunion.

Wakefield’s Harvest Home Reunion held GREENVILLE – The Wakefield’s 170th Harvest Home Reunion was held Sunday, Sept. 2, at North Park, Lease Avenue, Greenville. The Harvest Home Wreath was placed within the Wakefield Cemetery in respect of great-grandmother Charlotte, who sacrificed her life for her family. Various research books were displayed in the shelter for visitors to look through. The theme for the 2018 reunion was “Bringing

Home the Pioneers.” The Lease sisters, Marilyn and Betty have compiled almost 30 years of the historical legacy of their great-grandparents’ Maximillium Louis and Charlotte Leis Lease. Someday, the family hopes to place a plaque honoring the pioneer signiﬁcance of the family in the Lease Avenue, North Park area for future generations to enjoy. The theme for the 2019 Harvest Reunion is “Compilation of Wakeﬁeld’s Pioneer Settlement.”

Humorous salute to baby boom years GREENVILLE – Darke County Center for the Arts will present The Wonder Bread Years starring former Seinfeld writer Pat Hazell at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville on Saturday, Oct. 13 at 8 p.m. Merging standup and theatre, the production tells of Hazell’s experiences growing up during the baby boom years, communicating universal truths while humorously recalling the mythical period when a child’s only responsibility was to play, eat and sleep. “Pat Hazell involves the audience in his show while he tells dozens of stories remembering Slinkys, lawn darts, and vintage TV jingles,” said DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins. “The Wonder Bread Years will not only bring smiles to the faces of Baby Boomers, but will entertain audiences of all ages by hilariously evoking the wonder of it all,” Mr. Rawlins concluded. According to Mr. Rawlins, this nostalgic show is an especially appropriate ﬁt for DCCA’s Artists Series as it celebrates forty years of presentations. “Looking back at the history lived by Baby Boomers is also a look back at the era when DCCA was formed;

while much change has occurred, memorable DCCA moments remain an important factor in our lives today just as Pat Hazell’s recollections touch on the staying power of childhood experiences throughout life,” the Artistic Director stated. Midmark Corporation is sponsoring The Wonder Bread Years. The Ohio Arts Council helps fund this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. DCCA also receives operating support from the Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial as well as funding from the Ketrow Foundation, Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund, and the John R. and Miriam H. Knick Fund of Darke County Foundation. DCCA membership contributions also help support this show. Tickets for The Wonder Bread Years are $20; students will be admitted for half-price. To reserve your tickets, contact DCCA at 937-547-0908 or dcca@ darkecountyarts.org; tickets are also available online at www.darkecountyarts.org. Tickets will also be available at the door if any remain by show time.

Greenville Library resumes ﬁlm series GREENVILLE – Movies have a way of capturing our imaginations and lodging in our memories like no other popular art form can. From the ornate movie palaces of the roaring twenties to the streaming video services of today, from the drive-ins of the 1960s to modern multiplexes, movies have been

entertaining us, exciting us, scaring us, making us laugh, and stirring our hearts and minds for over a 100-years. Beginning in October, Greenville Public Library’s Third Floor Film Series will again bring the best classic and contemporary ﬁlms to a local audience. The Third Floor Film

Area 3 Covering West Central Ohio including Darke, Mercer, Miami, Preble, Shelby

Series was a popular program at the library for several years before going on hiatus at the beginning of 2018. The series was founded in early 2015 by local writer David Nilsen, who ran the program until January 2017, when he handed it over to Ryan Carpe. It will re-launch again in October, with Nilsen again curating and leading the series. Free monthly screenings will feature a thoughtprovoking discussion led by Nilsen following each ﬁlm, and attendees will be able to enjoy free candy, fresh popcorn, and soft

drinks during each event. The series kicks off Tuesday, Oct. 2, at 6:30 p.m., with a showing of The Haunting, a 1963 classic of psychological horror based on Shirley Jackson’s iconic novel The Haunting of Hill House. Alfred Hitchcock’s suspense classic Shadow of a Doubt will be shown on Nov. 6, with the 1934 comedic mystery film The Thin Man finishing out the year on Dec. 4. The 2019 dates will be announced in December. If you love classic cinema, make plans to attend these excellent films at Greenville Public Library.

Ken McCoy was honored by The Ohio State University Marching Band on Sept. 22 by spelling out “For Ken” prior to playing his arrangement of God Bless America.

McCoy honored at 50th annual OSU alumni band reunion COLUMBUS – Greenville native Ken McCoy, a longtime music arranger for The Ohio State University Marching Band, was honored Sept. 22 at Ohio Stadium and nearby St. John’s Arena in con-

junction with the 50th annual OSU alumni band reunion. Several of McCoy’s arrangements were featured at Skull Session and during halftime of Saturday’s Ohio State vs. Tulane game. Among the many songs played by both current and former members of the OSU Marching Band were arrangements of Good Vibrations, My Favorite Things, God Bless America and Eternal Father, Strong to Save, better known at The Navy Hymn. McCoy joined the OSU Marching Band staff in 1995. He served previously as the Chief Arranger for the U.S. Army Field Band and Soldiers Chorus in Washington, D.C. McCoy was a retired sergeant major in the Army. McCoy’s OSU Marching Band arrangements were performed at two Sugar Bowls, one Outback Bowl and an Alamo Bowl. McCoy passed away in January at the age of 71. During the eulogy at McCoy’s funeral, which took place at Memorial Hall in Greenville, it was said that some people are blessed to have lived lives bearing fruit that carries on long after they’re gone. It was said that McCoy’s music is such a gift. On Sept. 22, more than 100,000 people bore witness to it.

Braund made his mark across the country LINDA MOODY

CORRESPONDENT

NEW MADISON – Delbert Braund Sr., who died Sept. 17, proudly served his country and his community and was dedicated to everything he had a passion for during his 88-years here on earth. Not only was he considerate of his fellow man and those to whom he came into contact, he was also a “friend” to the media while working with the ﬁre department and emergency medical services in good and bad times. A Pennsylvania native, he settled in Ohio after his 22-year stint in the military, after which he became involved in the funeral business and numerous other activities. He touched many lives. “Dad was an amazing man who wore many ‘hats’,” his daughter Gwen Tinkle said. “He may have been born in Pennsylvania, but New Madison and Darke County was where his heart and home was.” “Dad’s most proud moment was receiving the Presidential Volunteer Service Award for his service to community,” remarked son Del Jr. “Delbert Braund was a great American,” said Jim Buchy. “We are sad to hear of the passing of our dear friend, Delbert Braund,” responded Eric and Kristin Fee. “While his impact on New Madison and sur-

GREENVILLE – Family Health debuted the retractable syringe it plans on giving to drug users who participate in their new XChange program, during Tuesday’s informational community meeting. In attendance were 15 local residents who “are interested in the community,” said Jean Young Family Health Executive Director. “Everyone who came was extremely supportive of the program and came out to get the real information about what the program is going to do for the community,” Young said. The needle exchange program was introduced by Family Health to local law enforcement and health workers last month. The program opens Oct. 12, and will run every month on the second and fourth Fridays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Family Health’s Greenville Dental Clinic, which is closed on Fridays. The clinic is located at Family Health, 5735 Meeker Road, Greenville. XChange is designed to provide one-time use syringes to combat needle sharing among those who are involved in drug use in order to prevent the spread of disease, including Hepititus and HIV. Once the needle has been used, it re-

tracts, making it impossible to re-use. The retractable needles also are safer as far as preventing accidental needle sticks to law enforcement and first responders, as well as to those who may find discarded needles in public areas. Young said she wanted to emphasize the fact that retractable syringes “are safe for the community.” Tuesday’s informational meeting included several displays presented by Family Health medical personnel and Darke County’s health department and sheriff’s office, aimed at educating the public on drug addiction and the help available for users and their families. Those who participate in the XChange program will be allowed to bring in used needles in exchange for the retractable needles. Family Health officials have determined one person may receive no more than 100 needles at a time, Young explained. “If they come in with five, they will get five,” she said, noting there are people who use up to 10 times per day, which accounts for the high number of needles one person may receive. “But if they come in with 500 needles, they’ll only get 100.” The needles are being purchased through a grant Family Health received from the Cardinal Health

Foundation in Columbus. No local or taxpayer dollars are being spent to support the purchase of needles. Those who do participate also will be asked if they would like assistance with their addiction, Young said. Family Health will provide pregnancy screenings for users who believe they may be pregnant and also will provide referral to medical services, if the person is amicable. Chief Deputy Mark Whittaker was in attendance for Tuesday’s public meeting. Whittaker said he was pleased with those who came out because they were interested in “getting the truRth” about the needle exchange program “and making decisions based on facts and not assumptions.” Whittaker said drug use in Darke County remains a serious issue and “bounces between opioids (heroin, for example) and methamphetamines,” depending on

the drug of the day. Family Health and Darke County Health Department personnel met with the county’s law enforcement and other groups to inform them about XChange. “We’re meeting with different organizations,” Young said. “It’s the best way for us to spend our time” to educate the public. Pastor Shawn Harrison of CMA Church in Greenville, and a neighbor to Family Health, was one of the ﬁrst interested attendees who came to Tuesday’s XChange meeting. “I came to make myself aware,” Harrison said. Harrison said his church had “people under the inﬂuence come to the church for help. We can now help steer people” to XChange, he said, and “help educate people about what the community offers for help. This is our community and we have to work together right now.”

Aero Modelers Club celebrates 50 years Delbert Braund

rounding communities was significant, we will forever be grateful for the opportunity Delbert provided us when he sold us Storch Braund Funeral Home in New Madison back in February 2007.” Doug Wright commented, “Delbert was a GREAT man. He loved his community, including Tri-Village Rescue and the New Madison Fire Department. He was always willing to help at a scene and he was always willing to help neighboring departments as the public information officer.” Channel 7’s Northern Bureau Chief Steve Baker commented, “To me Delbert was ‘Mr. PR’ (public relations) ‘Information Officer’...’ the ‘go-to guy’, especially for New Madison Fire Department. But was used/drafted by other departments like in Arcanum tornado days before thanksgiving 1992.” Chris Norris of Greenville had this to say: “Delbert donated countless hours to TVRS. He was always an upstanding man – willing to help anybody in need.” Read more about Delbert at www.bluebagmedia.com.

GREENVILLE – While drones are getting a lot of attention in this current day of technology, unmanned aircraft have been around for a long time. In fact, Darke County unmanned aircraft pilots are celebrating 50 years of the Darke County Aero Modelers Club (DCAMC). According to Dean Hurd, vice-president of the local group, the club has fluctuated in its membership numbers, but currently boasts approximately 30 members. At one time the group had around 90 members. While the DCAMC has been at its current home, Landes Field, off Chestnut Street at the City of Greenville’s well fields for nearly 20 years, Hurd explained club members have been flying in several locations around Greenville for halfa-century, including in a field where the US 127 ByPass now sits. This group is very dedicated to piloting their aircraft and took great care to clear their current runway of thorns, scrub trees, gul-

lies and plant grass. Club members continue to volunteer to keep their airfield mowed and clean. While club members spend a lot of time on the weekends at the field, many retired members also come in the morning and evenings to enjoy their hobby. They also hold several public events throughout the year to encourage more people to discover this hobby, including a Learn to Fly Day in early summer and a Swap Meet on the last Sunday of October at the Darke County Fairgrounds. However, club members welcome visitors anytime they are at the airfield. While aero modeling was once considered a rich man’s hobby because of the cost, Hurd explained those costs have come down considerably over the years. From two- and four-stroke gasoline engines to advancement in electric motors and methanol powered engines, there really is a price range for everyone. The club also welcomes people with drones in the club. The radios for these planes in the 70s cost approximately $200-$300. The cost has

remained about the same even though wages have gone up. Aero modelers can expect to pay anywhere from a couple hundred dollars up to thousands of dollars. The club has a couple of 50-year members including Dan Weaver who introduced several of the current members to the aero modeling hobby. However some members have passed away over the years. On the celebration of the club’s 50th anniversary, recognized Keith Dawson who passed away earlier this year. Dawson was an active member of the club and helped maintain Landes Field throughout the year. A special service was held to honor Dawson

with his wife and family in attendance. Merle Hodge, the club’s trainer and safety administrator, presented a program and helped to fulﬁll Dawson’s last wish to have some of his ashes spread across Landes Field. With the help of Dawson’s family, Hodge rigged a radiocontrolled model aircraft to release the ashes with family members given the honor of pushing the button. Persons interested in being a member of the DCAMC must ﬁrst be a member of that Aero Modeler Association that has 3,000 clubs throughout the world. Visitors to the Swap Meet on Oct. 28 can get more information about the club.

DCP welcomes new animal ambassadors

GREENVILLE – On July 25, Darke County Parks expanded its raptor education program with the addition of two juvenile Red-tailed Hawks. Hatched in early May, these hawks were delivered to a rehabilitation facility when the tree they were nesting in was cut down. While the birds did not have physical injuries, they became accustomed to human interaction and therefore could not be released back to the wild. This male and female duo have settled into the recently constructed raptor mew at Shawnee Prairie Preserve and are being trained daily so that they can be presented at programs for the community. What’s next? They need to get the

hawks named! The park district has a poll on Facebook to choose one of ﬁve names. They are as follows: Sky & Spirit, Bindi & Bobbie, Annie & Oakley, Apollo & Athena, and Linus & Lucy. These names were selected from staff, volunteer, and public sug-

gestions. During the Prairie Days festival Sept. 29 and 30 they will be taking additional votes to make their ﬁnal decision. Stop by the new raptor mew to cast your vote and get a peek at these beautiful new additions to the Darke County Parks family.

High School students needed to be Big Buddies DARKE COUNTY – Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke County is excited to announce their 19th year of programming for their after-school “Big Buddies” mentorship program. Fun and energetic high school students are needed for the 2018-2019 school year to mentor local elementary students. This is a wonderful opportunity for high school students to give back to their community, receive service hours toward graduation requirements, be eligible for scholarships, add the experience to employment applications, and make a difference in the life of a child. Big Buddies is a nine-month commitment where high school freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors volunteer two times per month to mentor elementary students. During these meetings, high school students, under the supervision of Big Brothers Big Sisters staff, work with one or two children on different educational and recreational activities. This year’s curriculum is entitled “Mindfulness: Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies” and will focus on brain

Their mission is to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally-supported one-to-one relationships that change their lives for the better, forever. By partnering with parents, guardians, volunteers, and others in the community; BBBS is held accountable for each child in their program achieving higher aspirations, greater conﬁdence, better relationships, avoidance of risky

DCPF to hold Youth Pheasant Hunt N E W P O R T – Darke County Pheasants Forever will be hosting the 17th annual youth pheasant hunt on Saturday, Nov. 10. This will be an excellent event for youth to enjoy a pheasant hunt, outdoor demonstrations, clay bird shooting, archery range, wildlife habitat conservation, and other outdoor activities. This event is sponsored by Darke County Pheasants Forever,

the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife, The Wildlife Restoration Fund, and several local sponsors. The purpose of the Youth Pheasant Hunt is to instill in young people a lifelong enthusiasm and respect for hunting, and to teach hunter safety, hunter ethics, and the importance of wildlife habitat conservation by providing a complete and realistic upland bird hunting experience. The hunt will be held at Deer Run, which is located at 5252 Stoker Road (about 2 miles southeast of Newport), Shelby County. Only youth 1216 years of age the day of the hunt with proof of hunter safety course completion and a valid Ohio hunting license or an apprenticeship license are eligible to hunt. However, family and friends can attend to participate in other outdoor activities. All youth must have a guardian present with them. Applications must be received by Oct. 26. Applications can be picked up at Ace Hardware in Greenville during business hours. This application packet can be printed from the Darke County Pheasants Forever website http://www.darkecountypf675.org/ events/

A.R. Winery gives to Scentral Park GREENVILLE - A.R. Winery is all about the animals. Since opening three years ago on Labor Day weekend, A.R. Winery’s patrons have been donating to the “Fuel” Fund. The owners, Russell & Angie Rex, decided that they were going to help the animals as much as they could each year. The fund is named after their ﬁve-year-old Border Collie, Fuel. He’s on every one of their wine labels and is well known in the sport of Flyball. This year, the

Fuel Fund raised donations for the Darke County Dog Park, Scentral Park. Scentral Park is over three-acres in size and features walking trails, off leash areas for small and large dogs, seating benches, and ample parking. The park is open from daylight to dark and is available to all (located on County Home Road, beyond the Sheriff’s Department in Greenville). The donations will help maintain the grounds and keep this park looking fabulous for all to enjoy.

CLASS OF 1956 REUNION

Tariffs, environment stewardship a concern DARKE COUNTY – On Aug. 31, Ohio State University Extension, Darke County and Darke County Soil and Water Conservation District hosted a farm tour for elected ofﬁcials and political candidates to showcase the importance of Agriculture and Conservation to Darke County. Initial stop of the tour was at the

Stucke Family farm on US Route 127, just north of Greenville. The Stucke’s demonstrated responsible and sustainable farming practices developed through research, enabling higher productivity, animal health and comfort, and conservation friendly practices. Four generations of the Stucke family live on the premises.

They prioritize protecting the soil and aquifers for future generations through innovative modern technology.

Next stop was the Overholser family farm of 14,000acres where grass waterways add erosion control and addresses farm runoff issues, which creates advantages for the landowner, downstream water quality and wildlife. Research is currently being conducted on seeding rates vs. crop yield production. Lower seeding rates result in bushier plants, which stand better than the high populations on years like this. Innovation and research hopes to result in reduced planting costs with higher yields. A lunch at Oakland Church of the Brethren was a

GREENVILLE – Forty Ohio fire departments will share $426,000 in grants from the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) under a program to protect firefighters from carcinogens and other harmful health hazards encountered by firefighters during their daily work activities. Locally, Greenville Township Fire Department is receiving the funding under BWC’s Firefighter Exposure to Environmental Elements Grant Program, which helps departments purchase safety gear, exhaust systems and specialized washing machines. Because residue collected on firefighters’ gear during a blaze can cause respiratory disease, cancer and other ailments, it is important not only to wear appropriate protective gear, but also to ensure it’s cleaned properly. Greenville Town-

ship Fire Department is receiving $15,000 to purchase one extractor and 76 hoods with barrier protection. “Fireﬁghters face life-threatening exposure to harmful materials even after dousing a blaze, and those are the threats we’re targeting with this grant program,” said Dr. Abe AlTarawneh, superintendent of BWC’s division of safety and hygiene. “The program is helping to bring this important protective equipment to ﬁre departments across the state.” The grant program, announced as a component of BWC’s 2017 rebate, provides a 5-to-1 match up to $15,000 for public and private employers with annual payroll of at least $500,000. No match is required for employers with less than $500,000 in payroll. More about the program is available at bwc. ohio.gov.

Strange and Spooky World GREENVILLE – Join Greenville Public Library for an evening with author and paranormal researcher James A. Willis on Thursday, Oct. 11 at 6 p.m. at the St. Clair Memorial Hall for “My Strange and Spooky World.” For the past 30-years, James has been walking on the weird side of life. For this special program he wants to tell you all about his strangest and spookiest adventures. James will present photographs and video and audio clips because, after all, seeing (and hearing) is believing.

No registration is required.
