MV grad in Vegas: ‘It was a war zone’ SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

MIAMISBURG - Former Union City resident and Hospice nurse Chris Williford-Hole may never forget the night of Sunday, Oct. 1.

“I’ve never been to a war zone, but could imagine that’s what it would look like. There were bodies everywhere,” said Williford-Hole of her experience following Sunday’s mass murder at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival in Las Vegas, Nev. Williford-Hole, who now lives in Miamisburg, is a 1990 graduate of Mississinawa Valley High School.

She studied nursing at Clark State Community College and has worked as a Hospice nurse.

Williford-Hole, 45, said she started her nursing career as a tech in the emergency room at Good Samaritan Hospital in Dayton. “I would occasionally see gunshot wounds in passing as a tech. But I was not the hands-on person.

Nothing like what I saw in Las Vegas. This was like a war zone.”

Williford-Hole flew to

Vegas to attend the threeday country music festival at the request of a friend.

“A friend of mine had an extra ticket and knew I loved country music just as much as she does.”

The two attended all three days of the concert.

Then a little after 10 p.m. Sunday, the crowd they were standing in began moving as the first shots rang out from Mandalay Bay. “There were a lot of us in the area I was in. Everyone started shifting to my right,” as they realized what they were hearing was not part of the music or fireworks or a sound show.

“There was a pretty tall fence with a sound booth that provided some shelter to hide behind,” WillifordHole said.

At only 4’11” tall, Williford-Hole soon realized she was not going to be able to get over the fence.

“My friend got over. I told her to go on. I knew I couldn’t get over. People behind me were pushing, shoving and stepping over me to get out. I ran back toward where we were.

There were bodies everywhere.”

Williford-Hole then de-

Garrison says city supports .45 mill levy RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville Safety Service Director Curt Garrison has been questioned several times regarding the city’s position on the proposed .45 mill levy for Emergency Communications, which will be decided by Darke County voters this fall. Although Garrison addressed the question during The Early Bird/Bluebag Media’s Facebook Town Hall meeting, he addressed it again on Tuesday with a letter to Greenville City Council. The letter reiterates the city’s support of the levy.

Garrison has previously said the city will be making the switch to the MARCS (Multi-Agency Radio Communications System) when the county goes to the system in April 2018. He pointed out many agencies that surround Darke County have already made the switch to MARCS and with the county making the move to the system, the county will be able to communicate with the surrounding agencies. He also pointed out flaws with current VHF system are safety issues. “Due to the typography and geography, local agencies have a

difficult time communicating between each other and their respective dispatch,” he said.

The City of Greenville, according to Garrison, was part of the Communications Committee that unanimously voted to make the switch providing the Darke County Commission provided a sustainable revenue source.

Failure of the levy will definitely have an impact on the city’s budget Garrison told council members.

“The city would need to spend $37,000 each year for the next five years to be fully operable with new radios. Each subsequent year, the city should budget for replacing a certain amount of radios and equipment.”

He continued, “With current projects slated for completion with the Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) Fund, the burden of the MARCS radios may cause certain projects to be put on hold or postponed.”

Garrison pointed out some agencies in the county will be able to absorb the cost of new radios, but other villages and townships will not.

The Emergency Communications levy will be Issue 3 on Darke County ballots.

cided to do what she was trained to do – help.

“There was a guy – I just remember his face – and we were crawling through bodies checking for pulses, doing CPR. There was a girl with a gunshot wound to her leg. I took my belt off and used it as a tourniquet.”

At that point, Williford-Hole said she realized there was a back exit from the venue and she could see cars starting to pull up to help transport the wounded to area hospitals.

“They had turned on the stage lighting as Jason Aldean left the stage,” Williford-Hole said. “It was

still dark and you couldn’t tell who was moving, who was breathing.”

Williford-Hole describes how she would wait until the shots would end as the shooter – Stephen Paddock, 64 - would either reload or pick up another weapon. She would then crawl to another person to help.

“There were shots ricocheting off things. I could hear them hitting right next to me,” she describes.

“We would get people back to the back exit where we knew there were vehicles.”

At one point, WillifordHole heard a woman yelling “I’m a nurse, too.” That

DCVS Department Head/ CVSO were selected to represent the Veterans of Darke County in the ceremony.

The four veterans included: Tom Pitman, Air Force Veteran and DCVS Department Head/CVSO – James Stamcoff, DCVS Commissioner and Air Force Veteran (1966-1970) – Byron Hart, Army Veteran (1957-1959) – John Longfellow, Air Force Veteran (1948-1952).

“It was a great opportunity to represent Darke County and the veterans of our county,” stated Pitman. “It was truly an honor to place the wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.”

“Very honored to be able to be a part of it,” Stamcoff said. “Proud and honored – very humbling.”

“It was quite an honor to do that,” said Longfellow, the oldest Veteran on the trip at 88 years of age.

“Unbelievable – a great honor,” Hart noted. “It’s a great honor,” On March 4, 1921, Congress approved the burial of an unknown American soldier from World I and he was buried Nov. 11, 1921.

woman was attempting to help a young man just about her daughter Phoebe Hole’s age – 20.

“There was a kid, about 21 years old with an abdominal wound. I ran to the kid and she (the other nurse) asked me to hold pressure to his abdomen.

I got in a car and helped her. I held pressure on the wound and talked to him.”

The hospital was on lock down, so Williford-Hole stayed to assist as much as she was allowed.

“There was blood running down my leg. They thought I’d been shot but it was just cuts and bruises. They told me I needed help, but I told them no.”

After refusing treatment for her injuries, WillifordHole gave comfort to some young people who were standing just outside the hospital.

“I did that until we were told we were allowed to leave,” she said, grateful for the taxi drivers who were pulling up to the hospital to give free rides to area hotels.

Williford-Hole said she got back to her hotel, the MGM Signature, about 3:30 a.m. She had called her daughter Phoebe – who is named after Phoebe Ann Mosey (Annie Oakley) – to let her know she was OK.

She then accidentally hit the phone icon on Facebook and Facetimed her partner, Amy Stuven, who was at home in Miamisburg.

Stuven couldn’t really see Williford-Hole’s face, but said she listened to 10 minutes of chaos.

“I wasn’t in the car yet (with the injured young man). I told her to tell everyone I’m OK and that I love them, just in case I don’t get home.”

Williford-Hole’s original flight back to Ohio was canceled on Monday. She ended up flying into Columbus very early Tuesday morning.

Although she admits it’s going to “probably take a long time” to recover from her Las Vegas experience, Williford-Hole does have a piece of advice for those thinking twice about canceling future plans, like attending concerts or sporting events.

The one thing I want people to remember is that I saw people helping people. It didn’t matter what color, what music you like, what sexual orientation you were, what political party you belong to. If we let these kinds of people stop us from living our lives and enjoying these types of events, then they win.”

Darke County Veterans lay wreath at Tomb of the Unknown Soldier SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

WASHINGTON DC – Darke County Veterans had the honor of laying the wreath at the “Wreath Laying Ceremony”, this past Friday, September 29th at the “Tomb of the Unknown Soldier” at Arlington National Cemetery in our Nation’s Capital.

Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia is the final resting place for more than 400,000 service members, veterans and their families.

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier stands atop a hill overlooking Washington DC, was created as a monument to those American service members whose remains were never identified. The tomb is guarded 24 hours a day by soldiers from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, called “The Old Guard.”

The ceremony was part of Darke County Veterans Services’ (DCVS) four-day Washington DC bus trip provided for local Veterans.

“It is very special,” said Greenville’s Ted Bruner, a veteran and DCVS Commissioner. “Our first trip down I was one of them that got to go out there and lay that wreath. Just to step foot on that stone in which the tomb lays, it is a feeling that I just really can’t describe – an honor, humbling just to be there, that close to a tomb of a soldier who to this day remain unknown.”

“It was special just to see it, see our guys go up and lay the wreath,” said Duane McEldowney, a New Madison resident and Air Force Veteran. “It was a wonderful thing to see.”

The local veterans group transported the wreath to Arlington, a wreath that was donated

by Helen’s Flowers and Gifts in Greenville and crafted by Makenzie Boner.

“That’s amazing,” Boner said of her work making it to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. “We just wanted to say thank you.

We were just honored to do it.”

“It was just something we could do to give back to the community and to the Veterans,” added Boner.

“They put their lives on the line for us – that was the least we could do to say thank you.”

at a residence in the 100 block of Markwith Avenue. Upon arrival the ofďŹ cer spoke with the parents of two young children, ages 3 and 7 months. The father, who does not live at the Markwith Avenue residence, had arrived to pick the children up so the mother could go to work. An argument ensued, with the father holding the seven month old child. During the verbal argument, the father said he “grabbedâ€? the threeyear-old child to take to the car, but the mother also grabbed for the threeyear-old and they all fell to the ground. The argument was witnessed by the mother’s brother, who was inside watching television at the time. He separated the children from their parents. During the argument, the three year old suffered leg injuries.

The police ofďŹ cer called for the squad to come to take care of the child’s injuries. Darke County Children Services also was informed of the situation.

counts of child endangering charges. She was transported to the Darke County Jail where she was incarcerated and held on a $8,025 bond.

TRAFFIC STOP On Oct. 2 an ofďŹ cer conducted a trafďŹ c stop for an equipment violation.

Upon running the vehicle’s registered owner’s name through LEADS/NCIC it was learned the owner, Catina McNutt, who was a passenger in the car, had an active warrant for a probation violation on a theft charge from Miami County. Miami County advised GPD they could not pick McNutt up until a shift change later in the day. She was transported to the Darke County Jail to await pick up. McNutt gave ofďŹ cers her approval for her companion to take her car when he was released from the scene.

VANDALISM On Sept. 30 an ofďŹ cer was agged down in the 1300 block of Sugarmaple Dr. about a damaged vehicle parked in front of

a residence. The vehicle had been egged from the hood to the bumper. The ofďŹ cer also determined red and orange Kool-Aid and sugar also had been poured all over the vehicle. The driver’s side window was down and there was sugar all over the front seats as well. The word ‘slut’ had been written with marker on the glass and the car’s gas cap had been removed and an unknown substance had been poured in the gas tank. The ofďŹ cer contacted the vehicle’s owner who said her 16-year-old daughter drove the car.

The ofďŹ cer spoke with the daughter who gave the ofďŹ cer the names of three suspects, two of which are female students at Greenville High School. The ofďŹ cer made contact with the male suspect who said he did drive by the Sugarmaple Drive residence the afternoon before with one of the female suspects and two other males, but he had nothing to do with the vandalism and was

home before it occurred.

The neighbors also arrived home prior to the suspected vandalism and said they did not notice anything wrong with the car. The ofďŹ cer contacted the School Resource OfďŹ cer to locate and speak with the two female suspects named by the driver of the vehicle. No further information was available in the report.

Babysitter sentenced in alleged shaken baby case

BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – A local babysitter will spend the next year behind bars for what the prosecutor deemed as a “shaken baby syndrome� case.

Brittany Melton appeared in the Darke County Common Pleas Court for sentencing Monday morning after previously being convicted on a single count of Child Endangering, a felony of the third degree.

The 25-year-old graduate of Greenville High School was charged with Felonious Assault and Child Endangering following an investigation by the Darke County Sheriff’s OfďŹ ce after a 5-month-old baby suffered a brain injury while in her care on Oct. 19, 2016. She pleaded ‘no contest’ in July to a lesser charge. “This child suffered

serious injury for doing nothing more than probably crying,� stated Darke County Assistant Prosecutor Deborah S. Quigley. “The child is now on medication as a result of this incident.�

The young child was in the intensive care unit at Dayton Children’s Hospital for ďŹ ve days after suffering the injury, which medical examiners determined was caused due to shaken baby syndrome. “There was not one mark on the child, even though they claimed it was shaken baby syndrome,â€? contested Melton’s defense attorney Patrick Mulligan. “The only reason this didn’t go in front of a jury is because there was not enough ďŹ nancial resources to get medical experts to take the stand.â€?

Melton has denied doing anything to hurt the child while babysitting last year. According to the in-

vestigation, she claimed the child fell and she was unresponsive. She ran to a neighbors house before returning home to call the mother of the child. “Instead of calling 911 ďŹ rst, you called me at work,â€? the victim’s mother read aloud to Melton during Monday’s sentencing. “Only a sick person could do such a thing‌you bullied a ďŹ ve-month-old.â€?

The courtroom was ďŹ lled with family, friends and others in support of both sides of this case. “The aisle only separates both sides by four feet, but it may as well be 4,000 feet in this case,â€? Judge Jonathan P. Hein addressed the back of the courtroom.

With having no prior criminal background, Judge Hein ordered Melton to serve 12 months in prison. She will be placed on a mandatory 36-month post release control after serving her time.

Getting it Right

In the article Shelly’s planning grand opening that appeared in the Oct. 1 edition of The Early Bird, we inadvertently referred to Shelly Flory’s sister incorrectly. Her name is Angie Flory Rex. The Early Bird apologizes for any inconvenience this may have caused.

GREENVILLE – DeColores Montessori Junior High students spent the week putting their leadership skills to the test.

The week-long Leadership Camp kicked off with activities at the school on Arcanum-Bears Mill Road, camping at Chenoweth Trails and a day trip to Camp Willson in Bellefontaine.

According to teacher Melanie Miller, the school’s 17 sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders focused on outdoor skills during the week.

The school holds Leadership Camp every fall with activities on a threeyear rotation so students don’t repeat as they move through their junior high years.

The outdoor activities are based on the Montessori principle of Erdkinder – German for Earth Children. The goal of Erdkinder is “to produce adults who are equipped with the confidence in themselves and actual skills to live in the real world,” according to the website, montessoriforeveryone.com.

Building communication skills, learning to trust each other, learning more about themselves and how to work in group settings were some of the objectives of this year’s camp.

Eighth-grader Katherine Kauffman said the skills she’s learning at Leadership Camp are helpful as “we learn to work together.”

One such team-building activity led by teacher Jason Arnett forced students to use their hearing and skills as well as their ability to give directions.

Students were paired up, with one being blindfolded. The other student had to give directions and “walk” his or her partner through a minefield to safety – with nine teams shouting and giving directions at once.

Seventh-grader Tiana Mescher said she made it through the minefield, which was strewn with plastic balls, rubber chickens and mini orange traffic cones by “listening and being able to trust someone else.”

Students also participated in a variety of activities centered on this semester’s school theme – Perspective and Place – which includes learning about ancient cultures and how their government and religious beliefs affected their lives.

“The whole point,” said teacher Carrie Winhaven of Leadership Camp, “is getting to know each other and team building.’

Students also spent time working on journaling during their daily solo time, cooked their own meals and enjoyed kayaking and a star gazing experience.

Sincerely, Russell L. Thompson, Chief City of Greenville Fire Department -------------------------------Unfounded Statistic Letter to the Editor: As a concerned resident of Wayne Lakes, I am upset with the articles in local newspapers concerning the septic systems in the Lakes. We are working towards a sewer system that is probably needed and to read the 2/3rds of the residences are causing a problem is unfounded statistic. If that is the case, all the lakes would be polluted.

I have had a residence in Wayne Lakes for almost 30 years and these lakes are beautiful. These blatant ďŹ gures are terrible. To get referenced this way can affect home sales and people that use these lakes for ďŹ shing.

We spend a lot of monies each year to maintain the lakes. I don’t smell any problem except the air from a facility on 121, when the wind is from an easterly direction, which has been that way for years. The mayor and village council have been working with the EPA and Health Dept. to rectify the problem and to be talked about this way is very counter-productive.

Hopefully the people responsible for this can be more thoughtful in the future.

Act in the House on Monday pushing for the Congressional Budget OfďŹ ce (CBO) to disclose the formulas it uses when providing budget and economic information to Congress and the public. “Transparency provides a strong safeguard against errors, omissions and bias. “The algorithms, datasets and methodologies in use by the CBO should be readily available for ev-

Having this data available will save precious time and staff resources as it lets congressional ofďŹ ces vet their legislation before submitting a ďŹ nal product to the CBO. “The CBO’s delay in providing timely analysis to the House and Senate during efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare punctuates a long list of reasons why transparency and peer review are essential,â€? said Davidson.

I was worried when my MANAGING EDITOR left for oldest daughter college that life would be boring. Maybe worried is the wrong word. I think the correct word is hoping. Unfortunately, that hasn’t even come close to happening. I was kidding when I told people my wife was going to take things out of her luggage just so she would have a reason to visit. My wife made it a

I don’t know how many times I’ve been told, “I love seeing your daughter’s Snapchat because she is soooo funny.� What they don’t understand is her Snaps aren’t her trying to be funny. It is her naturally being funny. That is the one thing I do miss being around every day.

oldest daughter around and with my youngest not doing anything spectacular this week, I think one of my dogs knew I was lacking in writing material and decided to help out.

I woke from a dead sleep the other night having to do what older people have to do when they drink a gallon of water before bed.

I did as nature wanted and returned to bed, uffed the pillows to the perfect ufďŹ ness and then I heard something that would change the course of my night - whining. At ďŹ rst I thought it was my wife whistling through her nose while she was sleeping. I was very tempted to reach over and gently cover her nostrils with my ďŹ ngers to make sure it wasn’t her, but at 12:30 a.m. – it was one of those lines I wasn’t about to cross.

The whining was coming from one of our dogs and it was the one that never whines. Maybe she drank a gallon of water before bed, I thought to myself. I dragged myself out of bed, unlocked the kennel door, took her downstairs and let her out.

I went into the kitchen for about 30 seconds and when I came back she was gone.

I started yelling quietly for her. It was more of a loud whisper than a quiet yelling. Maybe she came back inside – I looked everywhere and there was no sign of her. I went to the front door and whispered loudly a little more – nothing!

I went back upstairs, grabbed my phone, put clothes on and woke my wife to tell her I was going to go look for the dog.

I went up and down the streets loudly whispering her name. Out of the darkness I hear, “What are you looking for?� Not expecting anybody to be up at that time of night, let alone talking to me, I nearly let loose of the remaining water from the gallon I drank that was still making its way to my bladder. The mysterious voice hadn’t seen my dog.

I kept calling my dog’s name and I heard a sound.

Every time I called, something answered. At ďŹ rst it sounded like it could be a Chihuahua and I got excited. Nope. It was just a cat and it answered me better than my kids do.

I kept walking and walking and walking. Fortyminutes, 1.3 miles and four ights of stairs later my wife called. Our dog had returned on her own.

By 1:30 a.m. I had more exercise than I do most days.

When I put the dog back in the kennel and put myself back to bed, uffed my pillow to the proper ufďŹ ness – the whining returned. I knew for sure it wasn’t my wife this time because she was still as awake as I was.

I wasn’t going to be fooled again. I shut my bedroom door and let her whine.

My youngest daughter woke up the next morning and the ďŹ rst thing she did was complain that the dog whined all night long. I really wanted to slap her.

I’m still not sure what I’m more upset about – having to walk all over town in the dead of night to look for a dumb dog or that I had to put pants on to go ďŹ nd her.

Arcanum Lady Trojans on top of game at Ansonia Lady Tigers GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

ANSONIA – The visiting Arcanum Lady Trojans volleyball team had little trouble defeating the Ansonia Lady Tigers 3-0 in a Thursday night Cross County Conference (CCC) matchup. “We’re playing as a team,â€? said Arcanum Coach Macey O’Dell. “They are doing real well at that (communicating). We’re one big team right now and that’s what they need to be.â€? “Arcanum just at out outplayed us tonight,â€? said Ansonia Coach Craig Riethman. “We didn’t get to many options to hit. When we did get the opportunity to hit, we put it down, we hit well. We just didn’t get enough opportunities to do

that.�

The Arcanum girls took an early 7-4 set one lead and quickly put together a string of 11 unanswered points to push its lead to 18-4 before going on to a 25-12 ďŹ rst game win to lead 1-0.

Set two had the Lady Trojans jumping out to a 7-1 advantage bringing the ďŹ rst of two timeouts from the Ansonia bench with the second Lady Tigers timeout coming with the team trailing 13-4.

Arcanum would go on to outscore the home team 12-7 to take game two by a 25-11 score and go up 2-0 on the night.

The third set saw the Lady Trojans grab an 11-5 lead bringing a timeout from the home team’s bench.

The Lady Tigers kept it a six point game trailing

14-8 only to have Arcanum put together a string of ďŹ ve unanswered points to lead 19-8.

Ansonia score two quick points to trail 19-10 but it was the Lady Trojans scoring the ďŹ nal six points of the night to win set three by a 25-10 score and take an impressive 3-0 road win.

The Lady Trojans were on their game at the serving line missing only two serves over the entire three set match. “We work a lot on serving,� noted O’Dell. “That’s my biggest pet peeve – missing serves. We spend a lot of time at practice serving. They all know when it hits the net it better be going on that (opponents) side. They did a nice job tonight. We missed two, we strive for zero, but I’ll let them have a few.�

“They served really well,� said Riethman. “Almost every time they served we were out of system.� “We’re coming on at the right time,� said O’Dell with OHSAA tournament

play just around the corner. “We are looking very strong right at the moment. I hope that continues through tournament and gets us far.� “Defensively we did ok

at times.� Riethman said, also looking towards tournament play. “We are looking forward to every opportunity we have to play to get better before tournament.�

Franklin Monroe downs Mississinawa Valley 3-0

PITSBURG – The Mississinawa Valley Lady Blackhawks took the Franklin Monroe Lady Jets to the wire in sets one and two in a Tuesday night Cross County Conference volleyball matchup but could not stay with the Lady Jets in the ďŹ nal set losing the match 3-0 to the home team. “We just weren’t quite ready to play tonight,â€? said FM Coach Angie Filbrun. “We won but it wasn’t pretty. We decided that third set to go ahead and ďŹ nish that game.â€?

“We have the whole nine-yards,� MV Coach Billie Hunt said of her Lady Hawks team. “We have the blocking, we have hitting and we have serves. It’s just hard when you can’t quite pull off that win, but they play hard and they push themselves.�

MV fell behind 3-0 in set one before battling back to even the score at 3-3, 6-6 and 7-7 only to have the Lady Jets take a 17-12 advantage.

win a ďŹ ve-set match,â€? said Greenville Coach Chelsea Dowd. “They really played well.â€? “I was glad to see them come out and play hard tonight,â€? said MV Coach Billie Hunt. “They played great ball tonight. I had some great hits tonight, some great plays and I’m thrilled.â€?

The opening set of the night saw the score tied nine times with the last coming at 13-13 before the Lady Hawks would outscore the GHS visitors

12-3 to take a 1-0 lead with a 25-16 set one win.

Set No. 2 had the teams playing close to open the game. With GHS leading 8-7, the Lady Blackhawks would use a 5-0 run to lead 12-8 and follow with a second 5-0 scoring run to push their advantage to 17-9 only to have the Lady Wave battle back with an 11-3 run to knot the score at 20-20.

MV closed out the second set outscoring the Lady Wave 5-2 to lead two sets to none with a 25-22

win. “I told the girls at the beginning of the third set we had kind of come back in the second set,� Dowd said. “We lost 25-22 but I said we have momentum right now so we don’t need to change anything. Keep going up from here and that’s exactly what we did.

They never let down from that point on.�

GREENVILLE – Nathan Fry, a 205 pound junior Green Wave offensive/defensive lineman earned an opportunity to have his white road football jersey worn by FOX 45 sports broadcaster James Rider Friday night during the station’s Miami Valley’s high school football results news broadcast.

Fry entered the FOX45 weekly contest by “tweetingâ€? a photo of himself in his Greenville game jersey. “You ‘demo’ a picture of yourself on twitter in your jersey – you direct message them on twitter, send a picture of you in your jersey and they will put you in a competition with four or ďŹ ve people,â€? explained Fry. “Whoever gets the most retweets wins.â€?

James Rider, Fox45 sports anchor was in town Thursday afternoon to pick-up Fry’s winning jersey to wear on the station’s Friday night Miami Valley high school football scores program following the games. “Driving an hour to Greenville to pick up a jersey seems silly but at the same time it’s not about me,� said FOX45 Sports Anchor James Rider. “You get it (winner’s jersey and photo) on social media, you get

Local residents Walk to End Alzheimer’s First Church of God celebrates centennial

BY LINDA MOODY CORRESPONDENT lmoody@earlybirdpaper.com

BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Nearly 200 walkers helped raise over $15,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association during the organization’s largest fundraiser, The Walk to End Alzheimer’s. The Darke County walk started in the Greenville City Park and took walkers on either a one- or 2 1/2-mile walk.

According to local organizers, over five million people live with Alzheimer’s and over 15 million individuals serve as un-paid caregiver. Locally, over 1,000 Darke County residents are living with the disease and receive assistance from over 3,000 caregivers. Funds raised during the Walk to End Alzheimer’s helps fund research and critical care and support programs for everyone affected.

Deb Summer, volunteer with the local Walk, said, “As you look around you’ll notice orange, purple, yellow and blue flowers. These flowers highlight the reason we are here today; our connection to Alzheimer’s Disease.” She explained the orange flowers represent people who support

The purple flower represents people who have lost a loved-one to the disease.

Yellow flowers were held by persons who are currently caregivers to loved ones with the disease. The blue flower was held by Alzheimer’s victims. Although walkers carried a rainbow of flowers, there was a solitary fifth flower. The white flower was added to share there is hope that one day there will be a cure and all Alzheimer’s victims will be able to carry that flower.

O’Connell has heard many stories in her role with the Alzheimer’s Association, and each of them have had an impact on her.

“I was talking with a gentleman today that caregives for his wife,” she said. “He worked hard his whole life and has money sitting in the bank and now he’s a 24hour caregiver and is doing it on his own and gets help from family members on occasion. They are now limited and can’t travel.”

The Alzheimer’s Association has set a goal of 2025 to have a treatment.

In order to get there it will take successful fundraisers.

Dorthy Lentz, who lost her husband earlier this year to Alzheimer’s, was the Walk’s top fundraiser by giving $1,200.

ANSONIA – Ansonia First Church of God was the scene of a 100th anniversary celebration this past weekend.

A reconnecting dinner was held late Saturday afternoon followed by a service, and another service was conducted at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, followed by a luncheon.

Pastor Derek Specht, lead pastor, welcomed 274 celebrants to the church at the Sunday service.

“All praise goes to Jesus Christ,” he said.

“Come see and celebrate Christ with us. This permeates the love of God.” Specht introduced former pastors and associates who returned to help celebrate the church’s centennial.

Among them were Pastor Chris Cottrell and wife Esther of Delaware, Ohio, who served from 1998-2006; Lee Wallace of Knoxville, Tenn., who served from 1977-95.

Others who participated Sunday included John Coppess; Adam Wallace, Pastor’s Lee’s son, with a song; Randy Irwin and David Detling, who spoke briefly; and Tim Smith, who was an associate who played piano and sang.

Esther Cottrell presented Specht as well as elders John Huddle, Kevin Lehman and board chairman Dean Butts with a plaque. She is the state director for the Church of God in Ohio.

Wallace was the first to speak, and, as he begin to speak, fireworks were going off outside the church, which he later reported that was done on occasion when he was pastoring the church.

Nonetheless, he seemed to be amazed but amused by the gesture of some fun-loving church members.

Wallace said he has been in the ministry for 44 years and that Ansonia First Church of God was his first pastorate.

The Rev. Esther Cottrell presents a plaque to the Ansonia First Church of God which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. Accepting on behalf of the church are Pastor Derek Specht, elders John Huddle and Kevin Lehman, and Dean Butts, chairman of the trustees.

“I was 27,” he recalled.

“I was green as a gourd but you all took us in and loved us. Brittany was a baby and Adam was born while we served here.”

He praised the people of the church who stood by their family after Adam was born with water on the brain and was told their infant would never walk or smile.

“You were with us every bit of that,” Lee said.

“The waiting room was full of people. Doctors don’t have the last word; God does.”

However, Adam entertained the church members with a powerful song after he made his way to the pulpit.

Lee’s message for the centennial was “About looking back, about looking up, about looking around and about looking ahead, followed by a reading from Isaiah 51.

“I want you to remember your roots; look back at the people you come from; look back at faithfulness of God,” said Lee, who attended the celebration with wife, Barbara, their two children and son-in-law Matt. “Things change but God remains the same.”

He went on, “In the 100 years, you have had four to six generations of people. This church has built two facilities; one on State Route 47 where it was for 50 years and in 1967 you built this won-

derful building. You are a faithful people. Think about all the sermons preached at this pulpit, all of the missionaries, Sunday school teachers, junior church workers and Vacation Bible School. In the last 100 years, it has always been about Jesus Christ and we need to look up at Him and never lose sight of Jesus Christ. He is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end, and we lift Him up. This church is built solidly on Jesus Christ.”

He concluded, “Look at this as a new chapter in the life of this congregation.”

EUM’s missions gala helps build homes

Faith UMC Mission Team Members load a truck with supplies. Shown are Tyra Clark, Susie Weisenbarger, John Fist (standing in back), Tassy Fist, Sharon Karns, Janice Michael - Depot Coordinator and Sharon Troutwine.

Faith UMC supports Festival of Sharing ARCANUM – Arcanum Faith United Methodist Church recently completed a mission project for the Festival of Sharing Kit Program – a program of Church World Service.

The support of this program makes a tremendous difference in the lives of so many people both here at home and around the world. School kits were collected to give children in impoverished communities and refugee camps some of the basic tools for learning. Hygiene kits collected make all the difference between sickness and health for some struggling families. Emergency Cleanup Buckets with supplies enable people to manage the overwhelming job of cleaning up after a

flood, hurricane, tornado or other disaster in the United States.

Faith Church served as the drop off site for the surrounding area churches of various denominations.

All kits were collected and transported by Janice Michael, Depot Coordinator to Westerville, Ohio at the campus of Otterbein University.

The Church World Service is a global mission with participation from the National Council of Churches.

Arcanum Faith United Methodist Church is a mission-minded church located at 101 E South Street. Tim Pieper is the local pastor. All are welcome to attend the service each Sunday at 10 a.m.

GREENVILLE – Destination Known Missions Ministry of EUM Church in Greenville is in its 12th year partnering with the Potter’s House Association in Guatemala. Over the years, teams from EUM Church have built 18 homes for families that live in the garbage dump shanty communities. They have visited countless families in their homes to pray with them, and to share Jesus with them in real and practical ways by installing wood burning cook stoves, providing much needed food to families, and passing out Bibles. Destination Known wants to continue building homes for families in the shanty communities; however, due to the increased cost of building supplies, funding these homes has become more difficult.

A Missions Gala will be hosted by Destination Known with 100 percent of the proceeds being used to build homes for families living in the Guatemala City dump communities.

Local BPA students get a ‘chat all about life’

BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – Ohio’s District 3 Business Professionals of America students from several local schools attended their Fall Leadership Conference Tuesday at Greenville’s Memorial Hall.

In addition to installing new officers, students from Greenville, Mississinawa Valley, FranklinMonroe, Milton-Union, Wayne and the Miami Valley Career Technology Center received some advice for their future from motivational speaker

Katherine Bauer, of Sinclair Community College.

Bauer told the students she’d been invited to “have a chat with you all about life.”

Bauer shared several points from her perspective as a millennial, she said somewhere between “20 and 35” years of age.

“We are the generation that can do it, can turn it around,” she said, speaking of bullying and negativity as well as violence prevalent in today’s world.

Bauer briefly touched on this past Sunday’s Las Vegas mass shooting as an example.

“We need to support each other. Love one another, period,” she said.

Bauer also gave some advice to students about their future college and career paths.

“I’ve had a little bit of life experience, a little bit of work experience,” said the married mother of two young daughters. “I went to college not sure about what it was I was going to do. Think about what you want to do, but don’t limit yourself.”

A communications major, Bauer earned an undergraduate degree from The Ohio State Uni-

versity. She’s now pursuing a master’s degree and encouraged the BPA students to strongly consider graduate courses after obtaining a bachelor’s degree, which will offer opportunities for a higher salary and other benefits.

“Don’t be afraid to change your plans,” she said. “Do what you want to do and don’t do what other people want you to

do.”

Bauer then told the students it was OK to seek advice from family and friends about their future, but to consider what they personally are passionate about when making those decisions.

Also during the leadership conference, BPA students installed new District 3 officers for the 2017-18 school year as

follows: Danielle McVey, president, Franklin Monroe; Madison Hoffman, vice president, Milton- Union; Tyler Fleming, parliamentarian, Greenville High School; Faythe Watson, historian, Wayne; Alison Pierce, secretary, MVCTC; and Mason Hardwick, treasurer, Mississinawa Valley.

FFA’s Milkweed Pod Collection Drive

VERSAILLES – The Versailles FFA chapter is sponsoring its first Milkweed Pod Collection Drive.

Through Nov. 10, Versailles community members are encouraged to chip in and help collect milkweed pods for Versailles FFA. Common milkweed is vital to the survival of Monarch Butterflies in Ohio.

Seed pods from common milkweed should be collected when the pods are dry and grey or brown in color. Some may even have begun to pop open and reveal the seeds inside. If the center seam pops with gentle pressure, they can be harvested.

Store collected pods in brown paper bags. Avoid using plastic bags because

Family Health-Arcanum

moisture can collect and allows mold to develop.

Store seeds in a cool, dry place until drop-off.

Collection/ drop-off points will be held at Versailles High School near the greenhouse area in a labeled bin marked milkweed collection. The milkweed pods collected will have the seeds harvested from inside, prepared for planting, and then redistributed throughout the county to encourage the development of milkweed plants.

Feel free to contact Versailles FFA at dena.wuebker@vtigers.org or colton. prescott@vtigers.org with any questions about the drive.

Let us help you land that perfect job.

Specht is Ansonia First Church Of God’s 20th pastor

BY LINDA MOODY CORRESPONDENT lmoody@earlybirdpaper.com ANSONIA – Derek Specht is the 20th lead pastor in the history of the Ansonia First Church of God, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.

He came to Ansonia in November 2016 from North Carolina, where he had served two Church of God churches.

In the ministry for nearly 20 years, he and his family are living in Greenville.

“It’s a change for us... we came from a town three

times the size of Greenville,” said Specht, who grew up in Hickory, NC. He and wife Gina, married for 25 years, are the parents of three daughters, Gina, 21, a student at Asbury Theological Seminary who wants to teach Bible in English on the college level; Lauren Hope, 19, who is at Oklahoma City MidAmerica Christian University; and Grace, 13, all of whom have been home-schooled by their mother.

At church, Gina is part of the worship team.

Specht said he was 30 when he decided to enter

the ministry.

“I felt like God was calling me to lead where I was,” he said. “I had gone to college for a business degree and I am now working on a degree in Christian ministries online. I started pursuing my credentials in the Church of God in early 1998, became licensed later in 1998 and was ordained in 2003.

He is enjoying Darke County.

“The people in this area have been just great in welcoming us,” the pastor said.

A member of the Y, Specht said his hobbies

are running. He had participated in some local 5Ks and has done some marathons but never a whole one. He also likes to cook, serving southern comfort food.

The pastor, who will mark his 50th birthday on Nov. 16, said Josh Stefanow is the associate pastor, working with the youth and worship and as leader of the praise team.

Ansonia First Church of God, he said, has a membership of 300 with an average of 200 attendance.

Ruth Ann Riffle is the office secretary and Stuart Beisner is the accountant.

Elders are John Huddle and Kevin Lehman, while Dean Butts is chairman of the trustees. There is also a missions board and a Christian education board.

Speaking for the church, Specht said “We’re excited about the celebration of our history this year and excited about changes taking place as we move into the second hundredth anniversary. It’s a different world than there used to be. You really have to engage your community.”

Ansonia First Church of God’s first minister was the Rev. Ethel Orr, who served in 1917 and 1918. The ensuing pastors have been J.W.

Strotman, D.W. Patterson, E.A. Ball, Warren Roark, Luther Van Hoose, Paul Hartzler, G.M. Byrd, F.B. Nafe, Harry Heath, W.L. Shinn, M.F. King, Von A. Chesterman, E.E. Baker, Joseph Smith, George Van Norman, Carl Reynolds Lee Wallace and Chris Cottrell. Associate pastors have been the Revs.

Nathan Nielson, Randy Irwin, William Ritter and Timothy M. Smith.

Service times at Ansonia First Church of God are 9:30 a.m. Sunday school and 10:30 a.m. worship service, Nursery 1, Little Church and Children’s Church, all on Sunday, and Kreative Kids, Regen-

Honor & Color Guard members needed GREENVILLE – American Legion Post 140 is in need of new members for the Honor and Color Guard.

This unit is responsible for carrying the Colors and honoring veterans in parades and funerals. One veteran said he joined 14 years ago and there were 35 members.

Now, the unit has 14 at the most when all are available.

Many former members have passed away.

Most members are now in their 80’s and 90s and the youngest is 65. Many will want their loved to

have a military funeral, which they deserve. It could be your father, grandfather, brother or sister and the biggest fear is there will be no one to honor them for their service.

If you are ready to give our veterans their final honor, come to American Legion Post 140. It doesn’t matter what post you are from as long as you have an Honorable Discharge you can continue to serve or brothers and sisters with an Honorable Military Service.

VERSAILLES – The days are shorter, the nights cooler, and the trees are beginning to show a bit of color.

These are sure signs that autumn is here. The Versailles Area Museum is getting ready for the season as well.

The old cider press, featured in the North Star room has seen many autumn harvests over the years. The stove glows in the old Mercantile Store and the checkers are set for a game. Their 1900 Kitchen is ready for a cozy night at home, with lamp lights a glowing, and knitting to be done. A pot of coffee is on the stove and a bowl of hickory nuts are ready to be cracked open.

The three sections of the school room are ready for a new school year and Tiger memorabilia through the years is on display.

Why not gather the family after a Sunday dinner and come by the museum.

There is so much to see and explore and lots of great volunteers who can’t wait to share a story or two about the fascinating stories waiting for you.

The museum recently took a road trip that took them on the back roads around historic Centerville, Ind. With stops at the large Antique Shop in the area steeped with history. They

also stopped at Warm Glow, one of the area’s largest candle manufacturers. On their way home they stopped in Fountain City at the new Levi Coffin Visitor’s Center and learned even more about the Underground Railroad and, of course, Amish Acers, referred to by the locals as the “Amish Wal-Mart” ended their day.

Their Oct. 12 trip will take them on to the amazing and historic, Woodland Cemetery in Dayton. This is one of the few true parkstyle cemeteries in the country. They will see the resting place of Dayton notables like

the Wright Brothers, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Charles Kettering, Erma Bombeck and many others. They will enjoy lunch at Dayton’s famous Hickory Bar-B-Q on Brown Street. Then off to the Wright Brothers and Paul Lawrence Dunbar Historic site to conclude their day.

They will be leaving the museum at 9 a.m. and will return around 4 p.m. It should be noted there will be some walking with this tour, but a guide will ride through with them telling about many important sites at the cemetery.

International Investing: Still a Journey to Consider Columbus Day is observed on October 9. And while it may be true that Leif Erikson and the Vikings beat Columbus to the New World, Columbus Day nonetheless remains important in the public eye, signifying themes such as exploration and discovery. As an investor, you don’t have to “cross the ocean blue,” as Columbus did, to find opportunities – but it may be a good idea to put some of your money to work outside the United States.

So, why should you consider investing internationally? The chief reason is diversification. If you only invest in U.S. companies, you might do well when the U.S. markets are soaring, as has happened in recent years.

But when the inevitable downturn happens, and you’re totally concentrated in U.S. stocks, your portfolio will probably take a hit. At the same time, however, other regions of the world might be doing considerably better than the U.S. markets – and if you had put some of your investment holdings in these regions, you might at least blunt some of the effects of the down market here.

Of course, it’s also a good idea to diversify among different asset classes, so, in addition to investing in U.S. and international stocks, you’ll want to own bonds, government securities and other investment vehicles. (Keep in mind, though, that while diversification can help reduce the effects of volatility, it can’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss.) International investments, like all investments, will fluctuate in value. But they also have other characteristics and risks to consider, such as these: • Currency fluctuations – The U.S. dollar rises and falls in relation to the currencies of other countries. Some-

times, these movements can work in your favor, but sometimes not. A strengthening dollar typically lowers returns from international investments because companies based overseas do business in a foreign currency, and the higher value of the U.S. dollar reduces the prices, measured in dollars, of individual shares of these companies’ stocks. The opposite has happened in 2017, when the weaker dollar has helped increase returns from international investments.

• Political risks – When you invest internationally, you’re not just investing in foreign companies – you’re also essentially investing in the legal and economic systems of countries in which those companies do business.

Political instability or changes in laws and regulations can create additional risks – but may also provide potentially positive returns for investors.

• Social and economic risks – It is not always easy for investors to understand all the economic and social factors that influence markets in the U.S. – and it’s even more challenging with foreign markets.

U.S. markets are now worth less than half of the total world markets, and growth in the rest of the world is likely to keep expanding the number of global opportunities. You can take advantage of that global growth by putting part of your portfolio into international investments, including developed and emerging markets.

In any case, given the more complex nature of international investing, you’ll want to consult with a financial professional before taking action. If it turns out that international investments are appropriate for your needs, you should certainly consider going global.

VERSAILLES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It may just be October, but the Versailles Area Museum is thinking Christmas.

Their 2017 theme is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Depression Era Christmas.â&#x20AC;? With this in mind their wizard of crafts, Linda Cassel will host a decoration workshop to help make decorations for the upcoming displays.

On October 8 and 15 starting at 1:30 p.m., Linda will help create decorations to reďŹ&#x201A;ect the period when thrift took on a whole new meaning. They will provide the supplies and you can be the needed hands to make this Christmas display truly special.

Everyone is welcome and they will provide work space, materials, and a snack to keep volunteers going. Each session will be about two hours long and provide a nice treat for the museum. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be a pro, just come and help them create memories for a special holiday season!

You may call the museum this week to let them know you are coming, but also feel free to just come and join the fun.

Darke County Veterans Services completes Washington DC trip GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

WASHINGTON DC – The 2017 Darke County Veterans Services (DCVS) Washington DC Bus Trip was filled to capacity with Darke County Veterans and spouses after months of planning and fund-raising by the DCVS staff and DCVS Commissioners.

DCVS staff members hosting the trip included: DCVS Department Head/ CVSO Tom Pitman, VSO Var Gehron and Cindy Bruner, the organization’s Administrative Assistant.

Ted Bruner, an Army Veteran (1986-1991) having served with the MultiNational Forces in the Sinai Peninsula, current Veterans Service Commissioner, Past President of the Veterans Service Commission, Past American Legion Commander and the immediate Past President of the Veterans Service Commission for the state of Ohio also made the trip.

“I had very little to do with planning,” Bruner said of the trip. “This was

all our staff. The Commissioners were along pretty much just for the ride and to assist in any manner while we were here.”

Chis Rehmert, a retired Army First Sergeant with more than 30 years of service, Navy Veteran James Krammer and Army Veteran James Stamcoff, DCVS Commissioners also made the DC trip.

“They planned it well, they executed it well and the trip was incredible,” Rehmert said. “It couldn’t have been planned any better, it just came off perfect.”

“I’ve been to DC before, but this was excellent,” said Ansonia’s Richard Grow, a Navy Veteran (1970-1974) who served two tours in Vietnam.

The veterans included three Navy, six Marine Corps, eight Air Force and 14 US Army Veterans.

With four branches of service represented, there was often good-natured bantering going on between the branches.

“We all had each-others back,” said Grow. “Like the Navy and Marines going at it all the time. We picked

on each other on the bus – we did that after we got out of boot.”

“It was almost like being back in the military, the camaraderie that we experienced and it didn’t matter what service they were from,” said Pitman.

“Everybody got along great and shared their stories of their military experience while experiencing Washington DC and the memorials together.”

“You tease each other but deep down you can count on them,” Rehmert said. “Someone always has your back.”

Ansonia was represented with three veterans, Arcanum four, Covington one, Greenville 14, New Madison three, Osgood one, Rossburg one, Union City one and Versailles with two veterans.

The group was comprised of one Korean Veteran, 16 Vietnam Veterans, six Gulf War Veterans, four Army National Guard Veterans, one Army Reservist Veteran and four Peacetime Veterans.

The trip included a White House tour, US Capitol tour and visits to

FCCLA steers students towards safe driving LINDA MOODY

CORRESPONDENT

ANSONIA – Drivers, impending drivers and non-drivers were all treated to a Safe Driving assembly at Ansonia Schools on Thursday morning in two sessions; the first one for junior high and the second for senior high.

“Impact Teen Drivers: What Do You Consider Lethal” was the title of the two programs presented

by Heidi Deane of Cleveland, the state education outreach coordinator for Impact Teen Drivers, sponsored by State Farm Insurance.

“We saw her (Deane) last year at the state leadership conference,” said Toni Shellabarger, adviser for the Family Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) at Ansonia, which sponsored the morning’s event. “And our officers thought it would be great to bring her here.”

According to Shellabarger, both the junior and senior high school students basically saw the same program with some variations for the junior high since they are mostly passengers in vehicles.

A video was shown, interspersed with messages from Deane. The student body also heard messages from affected parents in that video as well as from various teenagers who were involved in these fatalities.

She talked about reckless and distracted driving being the number-one killer of American teens.

“You already have a lot to do when driving,” Deane told the group.

She pointed out that

Arlington National Cemetery, Holocaust Museum, Washington Monument, US Air Force Memorial and the 911 National Pentagon Memorial – Flight 77.

“I really enjoyed the trip,” stated Louis Bohman, an Army Veteran (1958-1964) and Osgood resident. “Very good people running it – do not know how they put it all together but it has been great.”

Tom Pitman, James Stamcoff, Byron Hart and John Longfellow represented the Darke County Veterans at a Friday Wreath Laying Ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

“It was a great opportunity to represent the county and the Veterans of our county,” said Pitman.

“Truly an honor to place the wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.”

The group also made visits to the WW-II, Ko-

rean and Vietnam memorials.

“It was a beautiful trip,” said Air Force veteran (1971-1980) Duane McEldowney of New Madison.

“The people that set it all up did a wonderful job.”

“It was very nice – I loved it,” said Marine Corps Vietnam Veteran Robert Jones of Ansonia.

“The folks from Darke County Veterans Services did an outstanding job.

They couldn’t have done better.”

The Veterans and spouses had ample time for visiting with stops for meals at Hard Rock Café (DC), We, The Pizza (DC), Five Guys (DC) and stops at Golden Coral to and from DC. The group enjoyed one final meal together at the Kings and Queens Restaurant & Pub in Stoystown, PA after visiting the Flight 93 National Memorial on the return trip.

“The trip was humbling, but yet we had a good time

with all the other veterans, memorials and Arlington Cemetary,” said Don Delaplane, a Vietnam Army Veteran. “It was quite humbling,” Delaplane’s wife Diane, a former Darke County Commissioner shared the DC trip with her husband, Don. “Being a former Commissioner for Darke County, I am very proud of our Darke County Veterans Services, for the things that they do for us all year around, plus this trip,” said Diane Delaplane. “I have been waiting to have my husband go on it because he is a Vietnam Vet. I am very proud and pleased that we were able to do this as a group.”

“We couldn’t ask for a better group,” concluded Pitman. “These guys were all great and I had a really good time getting to know them a little bit better than I had in the past. We will definitely do this again.”

putting on makeup, spilling lattes and texting while driving could lead to deadly decisions.

“You’ve got your whole life ahead of you,” she said.

“More than 4,000 teen drivers were killed in accidents last year. Bad driving habits can be changed.

Car crashes are 100 percent preventable.”

She went on, “Every time you get in a vehicle, you need to make good choices. You may not always get a second chance to make a good choice.”

She also told those who are not yet drivers, “Think differently about what your job is as a passenger in a car. Half the kids who die are passengers. Have strict rules in your car. Practice and experience make you a good driver. Pull over for five minutes if you are eating, then go on. Have conversations with parents to keep in touch so they know you’re safe.”

Deane also had this to say: “Buckle up every time.

Speak up if you feel you are unsafe. No text is worth a life.”

After the assembly a seatbelt challenge was

conducted at lunch time with the winner receiving a large Marco’s Pizza and whoever comes up with the best slogan will receive a gift certificate from Bob Evans, Shellabarger announced.

Impact Teen Drivers is a high-energy ongoing awareness and education program aimed at young drivers with meaningful messages delivered about distracted driving through: impacteendrivers.org, whatslethal.com, rulethal. com; facebook.com/impactteendrivers; on twitter at whatslethal; youtube. com/ImpactTeenDrivers; educational materials for teens; and the annual Create Real Impact contest at createrealimpact.com.

The program aims to prevent deaths by reaching teens in schools and online; providing free research-based resources for communities; partnering with safety organizations; training first responders, educators and health professionals; engaging parents in conversation; and creating interactive lessons.

DARKE COUNTY – First-graders from around the county spent some time this past week exploring Chenoweth Trails, thanks to The LIGHT Project.

For the past four years, the county’s young learners have participated in the science-based program, which was created by Angie McMurray, K-12 science curriculum specialist with the Darke County Education Service Center.

McMurray says the project encourages young children and their families to explore nature and play together outside, along with learning reading and science-based skills.

McMurray explains The LIGHT Project didn’t start out to be affiliated with The Light Foundation or Chenoweth Trails. After contacting the foundation, they adopted the program and sponsors several aspects, including providing classroom books children may check out, science tools for children to use as they explore nature and science, bookbags and journals for each firstgrader, along with visits and planned Family Fun Days to Chenoweth Trails.

McMurray said she got the idea for The LIGHT Project, which stands for Literacy, Inquiry, Getting Outside, Have Fun and Time Spent with Family –

after seeing her own children spend so much time with electronics.

“They’d come home from school and want to play on the computer or with the Kindle. I wanted kids to have an opportunity to connect with their families. And go outside to play,” she said.

She based The LIGHT Project curriculum on the state standards for science, math and language arts.

McMurray sought support to fund her program and today has several partners who make the fun activities and opportunities possible for the county’s first-graders, including the Darke County Foundation, the Rotary Club of Greenville, The Knights of Columbus, as well as The Light Foundation.

Also, the Hooked on Fishing, Not on Drugs Club from Wayne Lakes conducts fishing activities during one of the programs Family Fun Days, also held at Chenoweth Trails.

This past Tuesday and

Wednesday, The LIGHT Project kicked-off for this school year with 600 firstgraders from the county’s school districts spending a few hours discovering Chenoweth Trails, decorating their very own book bag to take home and journaling a page by drawing their favorite outside activity or something they’d noticed during their visit to Chenoweth Trails.

Six-year-old Laila Erisman of Greenville said one of her favorite things about the field trip to Chenoweth Trails were “the trees.” She also enjoys learning about animals and playing on her swing at home when she’s outside.

The LIGHT Project offers first-graders and their families to work together on reading skills as well as outside play. Students who participate may earn incentives along the way, culminating in earning a chance to stay with their families in the Yurts and having a full day of adventure at Chenoweth Trails.

some things you can do now to be proactive. Fall is a great time to winterize your lawn.

Check pH Levels â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Before you start winter prep work, test the pH levels of your soil. A neutral pH level is key to a healthy lawn; otherwise your lawn can thin out over time.

Remove Weeds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; When preparing your yard for the harsh winter weather, you want to safeguard only the plants that matter.

Because perennial weeks compete for nutrients with the rest of your lawn, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to remove them before the long winter.

Next on the scene, says owner/general manager Marlise McCallister, are appliances that homeowners are able to control by using an app on their cell phones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next wave is WIFI connectivity,â&#x20AC;? says Marlise McCallister, Hansbarger owner and general manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more technology being incorporated into appliances.â&#x20AC;?

The longtime Greenville appliance store is keeping up with the latest and greatest while continuing to offer friendly hometown customer service.

In business since the 1930s, Hansbarger Appliances was started by Roy Hansbarger, then run by Wayne and Betty Hansbarger. The business was

sold to McCallisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Kurt LH McCallister in 1971, who kept the name already familiar with customers.

Marlise McCallister said she â&#x20AC;&#x153;grew up with the businessâ&#x20AC;? working at the store as a teenager, then eventually as the owner.

Her son Kendall Hemer, 21, is the ďŹ fth generation McCallister family member to work at the business, coming back to Greenville after earning a business administration degree while attending college in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Today, Kendall is the retail operations director.

In 2007, the business moved to its current location â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just a couple doors down from its original home on Sweitzer Street.

The name also was changed slightly from Hansbarger Appliances, TVs and Electronics to Hansbarger Home Solutions, Hemer said, to reďŹ&#x201A;ect its new emphasis on appliances, furniture and mattresses.

The family renovated the 22,000-square-foot space, which today features ideas for kitchens and laundry rooms in addition to Serta mattresses.

Homeowners can get ideas on updating their living spaces and get referrals to cabinet makers such as Knapke and Mauk.

Hansbarger Home Solutions also works with area contractors for new build projects, Hemer explained, especially in the Troy and Tipp City areas.

As â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of the last family-owned businesses who sell appliances,â&#x20AC;? Hemer said Hansbarger also offers competitive prices

Customer service also is important to McCallister and Hemer, who say their retail and customer service staff keep up with the latest in appliance technology by taking advantage of manufacture training opportunities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We take a lot of pride in educating them (customers) to get them the

Simien brings Zydeco to Bistro Off Broadway GREENVILLE – Zydeco legend Terrance Simien and his Zydeco Experience Band will perform at Greenville’s Bistro Off Broadway on Thursday, Oct. 26. The second of Darke County Center for the Arts’ Coffeehouse Series presentations for the new season, the show starts at 7 p.m.

Simien is an eighth generation Creole from one of the earliest families to have settled in Louisiana; zydeco is the indigenous music of French-speaking Creoles.

According to DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins, Terrance Simien is one of the most respected and accomplished artists in American roots music today. “Terrance is a force of nature; his musical abilities are matched by his joyous energy,” Mr. Raw-

lins said. “Believe me, the Bistro will be hopping during this show; everybody will be smiling and nobody will want the music to stop, including the musicians. This is truly a ‘don’t miss’ opportunity to see an internationally renowned artist whose unique talents are unparalleled,” Rawlins concluded.

DCCA’s Coffeehouse Series presents high quality artists performing in a comfortable social setting where food and drink are also available. “The friendly, casual atmosphere enhances enjoyment of the performance, which is presented at a very accessible ticket price, making for a win-win situation for everyone,” stated Andrea Jordan, DCCA’s executive director.

GREENVILLE – Greenville Mayor Stephen Willman, along with the Ohio State Chiropractic Association has proclaimed October as “National Chiropractic Health Month.”

Dr. Kristene Clark and Dr. Jessica Clark are joining chiropractors nationwide during National Chiropractic Health Month (NCHM) this October to share back injury prevention and strengthening tips as well as information on the value of a drug-free approach to back pain treatment NCHM raises awareness of the benefits of chiropractic care and its natural, whole-person, patient-center and drugfree approach to health and wellness. This year’s theme, “Back to Basics” emphasizes simple yet significant strategies for maintaining spinal health throughout a lifetime, as well as the growing body of evidence supporting a drug-free approach to back pain treatment.

“Back pain remains one of the most disabling conditions worldwide, and is a common condition for which doctors prescribe pain medications, such as opioids,” says Dr.’s Kristene and Jessica Clark.

“We want people to know that there are other approaches to back pain treatment, such as chiropractic care that does not involve drugs. There are also simple strategies and exercises you can learn to help keep your spine healthy and pain-free.”

Statistics show that every day, more than 1,000 people are treated in the ER for misusing prescription opioid pain medications, and deaths involving the drugs have quadrupled since 1999. Back pain is one of the most common

Pictured are Dr. Kristene Clark, Mayor Willman, and Dr. Jessica Clark.

conditions for which opioids are prescribed.

In the wake of the opioid epidemic, many respected health care organizations are recognizing the value of a conservative, non-drug approach to pain. Low-back pain treatment guidelines updated this year by the American College of Physicians now encourage the use of conservative therapies, such as spinal manipulation, for low-back pain before the use of drug therapies and surgery.

Chiropractors are experts in performing spinal manipulation and are trained to offer ergonomic and lifestyle advice to help patients strengthen their spines, enhance overall health and prevent back pain.

Johnston Chiroprac-

tic Clinic is dedicated to providing quality care for citizens. In honor of National Chiropractic Health Month, Dr.’s Kristene and Jessica Clark will offer all first day services, scheduled by new patients during the month of October, for $35.00 donation to benefit Grace Resurrection Community Center’s Backpack Program. This includes a musculoskeletal/ neurological examination, and personal consultation with Dr. Clark or Dr. Jessica. *Workers Comp, Auto/ PI and X-rays are excluded from this offer.

The Johnston Chiropractic Clinic is located at 109 Rhoades Ave, Greenville.

General Information The Sheriff is issued Orders of Sales from the Clerk of Courts Office. Sales are advertised in The Early Bird once every week for three consecutive weeks. The Sheriff’s Office does not mail or give away a list of properties or information about purchasing foreclosed property.

The properties are not available for tour or inspection as the Sheriff’s Office does not have keys to any properties. Prior to the sale, most properties are appraised from the outside only. The property is sold “as is”, caveat emptor (let the buyer beware). The Sheriff’s office does not have information on liens or taxes.

Real estate tax information can be found at the following web site: darkepropertymax.governmax.com real estate appraisal database. All sales are held in the meeting room of the County Commissioners Building, 520 South Broadway, Greenville.

All sales begin promptly at 10:00 a.m.

Bidding information Bidding starts as directed in each sale ad. Successful bidders must deposit in the following: If appraised value of property is less than or equal to $10,000 the deposit is $2,000.00; $10,001 - $200,000 the deposit is $5,000.00; greater than $200,000 the deposit is $10,000.00.

Personal check (proper ID, local check signed in our presence), cashier’s check or cash is accepted. The buyer will be required to sign a disclaimer that relieves the Sheriff and appraising agents of liabilities of hazards, or past due bills, as it it the responsibility of the buyer to look into these matters before the sale date. The unpaid balance of the purchase price is due within 30 days after confirmation of sale is filed.

More Information You may contact Abby Wilson at (937) 547-4603 if you require further information. A listing of properties can be viewed at darkecountysheriff.org.

Successful mosquito trapping season GREENVILLE – As part of a mosquito control and surveillance grant, the Darke County Health Department has been trapping mosquitoes for over 17 weeks this summer. So far, more than 1,000 mosquitoes have been trapped and identified from more than 20 species.

Grace Winhoven, a sanitarian with the health department who studied mosquitoes in college, is happy with the results so far.

The mosquitoes found at the more than 20 trapping locations are identified by health department staff and sent to the Ohio Department of Health to be tested for West Nile Virus if they are a species that can spread the disease.

Over 800 mosquitoes have been sent to the Ohio Department of Health and no mosquitoes have tested positive for West Nile Virus in the county.

Of the more than 403,000 mosquitoes tested by the Ohio Department of Health, the virus has been found in mosquitoes from 45 counties. Some of the positive counties nearby include Greene, Montgomery, Clark, and Hamilton.

There have been more positive mosquitoes this year than at this time the last several years.

This increase is due to several factors including increased surveillance and testing, a wet summer, and a mild winter.

The number of mosquitoes testing positive for West Nile Virus is high this year and seven people in Ohio have become ill with one fatality.

There have been no human cases of West Nile Virus in Darke County in 2017.

West Nile Virus is not the only mosquito borne disease which can be found in Ohio. La Crosse virus can be spread by mosquitoes in Ohio. This year there have been eight reported cases of La Crosse virus in Ohio, including one in Preble County. The last case of La Crosse in Darke County was in 2011.

There are many ways to reduce the spread of mosquito borne diseases, and to protect yourself from becoming ill.

Avoiding mosquito bites and reducing mosquito breeding areas around your home can help stop the transmis-

sion of these diseases. Wearing long sleeves, using mosquito repellants according to the label instructions, installing and repairing screens, and avoiding outdoor activities at peak biting times can help protect yourself and your family. Removing standing water on your property can decrease the number of mosquitoes on and near your property.

The use of mosquito dunks, containing Bti, a bacteria that specifically kills only mosquitoes, can help treat standing water which cannot easily be drained.

On Oct. 5, the Darke County Health Department will have an informational mosquito presentation at 7 p.m. at Shawnee Prairie Preserve. This event is free and open to the public. There will be an opportunity to see a sample of mosquitoes found in Darke County. You can also learn about mosquitoes and how to protect your property and family, find out what the Darke County Health Department is doing to protect the public, and they will be

available to answer your questions.

For more information on their mosquito program, and ways to protect

yourself and your family, visit www. darkecountyhealth. org, or contact them at 937-548-4196 ext.

Coffeehouse Series, the show starts at 7 p.m. and tickets are $10.

Glass mosaic guitars displayed at gallery

Nearly 40 students show up for help with their academics, grades ranging from kindergarten to seventh grade, as the Empowering After School Program kicks off Oct. 2.

Big numbers for Empowering After School Program GREENVILLE – On Oct. 2, the Empowering Darke County Youth After School Program kicked off with a bang, with students from kindergarten through the seventh grade seeking help with their academics.

This is the second year of the program. Within the first two days of sign-ups, nearly 50 caregivers requested help for their children; the maximum that could be reasonably supported. A waiting list has been growing since then.

“The most students we ever had at one time last year was 28 students,” Program Coordinator Bob Robinson said. “On our first day this year we had 39 students. We have strong support from Edison student volunteers to meet the needs of the program, but we also need experienced, licensed or caring adults to help out. We still have many students waiting to get help; we just need the volunteers to work with them.”

The program has been moved to the new Greenville Elementary and Middle School on North Ohio Street. However, Edison State Community College is still actively involved through its student volunteers, board input and strong support services.

Edison, along with Greenville Public Library, will

WMPL hosts quilt display

VERSAILLES – Worch Memorial Public Library is thrilled to have on display several of Rosie Pierron’s intricately creative quilts.

Rosie had numerous quilts to choose from, but due to space restrictions at the library, they only have eight of her beautiful creations on display. Come in to see the variety of skills displayed in these colorful pieces. The quilts will be on display throughout library during October.

Worch Library has a variety of display areas available at the library. If you have items you would like to display for the community to see, contact Betty Byrd at 526-3416. For more information about anything at the library, visit worch.library.oh.us.

also continue to host our summer reading and tutoring activities.

Eric Fee, president of Empowering Darke County Youth, expressed his appreciation to both Edison and Greenville Public Schools. “Without Edison hosting the program, and Greenville providing the transportation, it never would have gotten off the ground,” he said. “Add to that, the Edison students who worked with these children last year, and continue to work with them this year. We are all grateful.”

“This is a community effort,” Robinson said. “We have many partners who are helping us and we are grateful; however as our program grows, so do our needs. They include financial support to bring in more licensed and experienced tutors to oversee our volunteers and work with these children. Providing snacks – especially healthy ones – for 35 to 40 students every day is expensive.

“We also need adult volunteers to maintain consistency in the program while Edison students transition between semesters,” Robinson continued. “If you would like to help – volunteer, snacks and supplies, donations – please leave a message at Edison Darke County Campus, 937-5485546, or send a message on Facebook Empowering Darke County Youth.”

The Empowering Mission: Empowering Darke County Youth provides After School and Summer Tutoring programs to assist students in the areas of language arts and math with the goal of Strong Students for a Strong Community.

GREENVILLE – The Anna Bier Gallery will present glass mosaic guitar artist, Gail Christofferson of Animal House Glass, at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville on Saturday, Oct. 7; the exhibit will be open from 6-8 p.m. with an artist presentation at 7 p.m.

Christofferson’s passion for glass, teaching, community projects, and creating mosaic art has taken her on a wonderful journey. She is a full time artist coming from a commercial art form, design, and marketing background.

Her current success with mosaic artwork has enabled her to move from the design field to pursue mosaic art full time; she considers herself an entrepreneur. Her vintage window sash frame mosaics

and up-cycled mosaic guitars featuring folk art imagery are featured in galleries and upscale retail locations.

Gail’s mosaic guitars have gained national recognition and she has had several installations featuring over 30 mosaic instruments. She says, “The shape and form of traditional string instruments retain value even after the audio has gone silent. My work allows the instruments to continue to sing.”

Christofferson’s latest work has been geared towards large-scale community-based projects. When she leaves the studio to share and teach, her community mosaic projects draw in participants to work collaboratively to create large-scale mosaic installations, resulting in

the unique sense of ownership and pride that comes from seeing their individual contributions blossom into a finished piece of art. At-risk youth and families create many of her large-scale murals; she is currently working on a project with the homeless community in Toledo, Ohio. Christofferson says, “The final reward to my work is seeing the effects of the mosaic process on participants. The shattered glass is like the broken parts of their lives and even with splintered pieces, they can recreate a beautiful whole, and a new image of themselves.

Mosaic art is a very accessible art form, participants find affirmation through the process of creation and the act of making and building
