DARKE COUNTY – Darke County Sheriff’s deputies have traded in their traditional gold badges for pink – in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month. Through Oct. 31, deputies will wear the pink ﬁve-pointed badge to draw attention to the disease, which affects 1 in 8 women. According to the American Cancer Society, a woman living in the United States today has a 12.3 percent, or 1 in 8, lifetime risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer. This is an increase over the past four decades, when in the 1970s, the risk was 1 in 11 women being diagnosed. The increase in risk is due, says the ACS, to longer life expectancy as well as changes in reproductive patterns, menopausal hormone use, the rising obesity rates and increased detection through screening. “Breast cancer is an illness that’s touched everybody’s life,” said Sheriff Toby Spencer. “Our mothers, sisters, daughters.” By wearing the pink

badges, Spencer said, his staff is showing support of those diagnosed with cancer and “helping to bring awareness to help find ways to battle this terrible disease.” Jody Byers, Spencer’s administrative assistant, coordinated the effort for the sheriff’s office. “We were approached by another county and asked if our deputies would be interested in wearing pink badges, replacing their gold badges with the pink,” Byers said. The Clark County Sheriff’s Office wore the pink badges last October to draw attention to Breast Cancer Awareness, Byers said, noting no taxpayer dollars were used. “Our Darke County deputies

purchased their own badges. Some bought more than one, so they could wear one on their jackets,” Byers explained, as well as their ofﬁcial uniforms. “We just wanted to participate and thought it was a good idea,” Byers said. “We like to support that kind of cause if we can. We’ve had family members affected” by the disease. This is the ﬁrst time Darke County deputies have participated in a badge-changing program,

she said Proceeds from the sale of the pink badges go to support the Pink Ribbon Girls organization as well as a fund, which will provide Christmas gifts for patients at Dayton Children’s Medical Center, Byers said. The Pink Ribbon Girls is a national organization providing services, education and support to those affected by breast cancer and women’s reproductive cancers.

Council to consider South Park Splash Pad RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – It’s been a few years since local children could be found splashing around at South Park, but that may soon change. Safety Service Director Curt Garrison addressed Greenville City Council on Oct. 4 and presented an option to put a splash pad at the park. If approved by council, the city would apply for a grant and have the potential of getting half of the project paid for with those funds. Garrison shared the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) is once again offering its Nature Works Grant. This is the same grant the Greenville Park Board received to rehabilitate the Marling Band Shell. The city’s administration held off sharing information about the grant because it wasn’t sure if Capital Improvement Project funds would be needed for the Band Shell. With the announcement by the Park Board that most of the funding has been secured, the administration felt comfortable bringing the project to council. Although the ODNR will offer up to $300,000 in grant funds for the project, Garrison said the cost of the splash pad would cost approximately $200,000-

$250,000. Garrison added that ODNR will take into consideration the city’s time and equipment if they do some of the work themselves. “If council decided to move forward with this project, we would be looking at anywhere from $60,000 to $75,000 out of pocket. The Safety Service Director explained the splash pad is expected to be different from what the YOLO group is planning at the corner of South Broadway and Martin Streets. The YOLO project is becoming

more of a water feature/ urban park area for the city. South Park will be geared more toward children and families with fun water features that include bright and colorful above ground features that spray water. “That’s more of what we have envisioned for South Park,” said Garrison. Councilman Tracy Tryon asked if this would take the place of the wading pool. “It will be bigger than the wading pool, but it will be in that general area,” Garrison added. The wading pool will “go

away.” The city is looking at a self-contained unit where the water is re-circulated and ﬁltered. Garrison asked Council President John Burkett to have a committee of council look at the project further to determine if the city should move forward and apply for the grant. Burkett assigned the project to the Miscellaneous Affairs & Priority Needs Committee. The committee was asked to present a report at the next meeting of council.

Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bike Drive comes to Darke County BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Some lucky Darke County children and teens will see a new bike under their Christmas tree this year, thanks to Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bike Drive and several local organizations. Started in 2014 by Mark Reedy, the fundraiser provided 200 bikes its ďŹ rst year for children in the Piqua, Covington, Fletcher and Bradford areas. Last year, Reedy took his bike drive to Shelby County, where fund were raised to purchase 240 bikes. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Darke Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turn to participate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolutely a project of faith,â&#x20AC;? said Reedy, a Piqua Thrivent Financial representative. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope Darke County kicks inâ&#x20AC;? with their support. The bike drive program is supported by collecting donations from local businesses, organizations and individuals in order to purchase new bicycles for children whose families have been pre-approved to receive holiday assistance. In 2014 and 2015, Reedy worked with the Salvation Armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas Programs in Piqua and Sidney to determine eligibility for families in need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every child should have a bike so they can get some exercise and have fun with friends,â&#x20AC;? Reedy said, noting he is pleased with the sup-

port several Darke County organizations are already providing. Since the Salvation Army program does not exist in Darke County, Reedy is working with United Way, Big Brothersâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Big Sisters and Toys for Tykes. The Road Hoggs Motorcycle Club also will be assisting with the Darke County bike drive. On Friday, Reedy held a press conference in the Darke County Courthouse to introduce the bike drive program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really looking forward to all the county folks getting togetherâ&#x20AC;? to support the drive, Reedy said, noting last year, Darke County organizations supplied Christmas for approximately 117 children. Reedy is hoping word will get out throughout Darke County about the fund-

County Commissioner Diane Delaplane welcomed Reedy and thanked him for bringing the bike drive to Darke County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;it will be here just this year,â&#x20AC;? she said, encouraging those present to support the program â&#x20AC;&#x153;so every kid can have something under their tree to open up and ride.â&#x20AC;? Flyers and banners will be posted around Darke County to help spread the word to get donations, as well as names of children who may be in need, he said, explaining the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Way and Big Brothers-Big Sisters would be reviewing applications of families requesting bicycles for their children. Reedy is calling his bike drive â&#x20AC;&#x153;a grassroots effort. Families who apply for Toys for Tykes will have the opportunity to sign up for bikes,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to raise funds in Darke County. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been bountifully blessed with the 2014 program in Piqua, Covington, Bradford, Fletcher and last year in Shelby County.â&#x20AC;? Christy Baker, Darke County United Way Executive Director, said she thinks Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bike Drive â&#x20AC;&#x153;is great. When you look at our community, health is a big factor. Bikes are fun to

do, but they also promote a healthy opportunity, so kids arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just sitting around looking at their screens. For a kid, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing better than waking up to a new bike under the tree. Nothing better than that.â&#x20AC;? Baker said the United Way also is getting the word out about the bike drive to other local organizations who help provide Christmas for Darke County families. George Kenworthy, president for Road Hoggs, said he sees Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bike Drive as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a good opportunity to do something for the older kidsâ&#x20AC;? this Christmas. Those who would like to send a donation to Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bike Drive may do so through Reedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www.marksbikedrive.org. The deadline to donate is Nov. 19. Reedy is asking for donations of $80 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the average cost per bike purchased from Walmart, but any amount is accepted. He

also encourages business owners to get involved by matching what their employees may collect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year we got big donations from Airstream (Jackson Center) employees. The company decided since their employees were all over it (bike drive) theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d match it,â&#x20AC;? Reedy said. Donation checks may be made payable to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Marks

Bike Drive.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Reedy said he also may need volunteers to assist in transporting the bikes from Walmart to the collection site as well as getting bikes to families on collection day, which is set for Dec. 17 at the Darke County Fairgrounds. For more information, contact Reedy at 937-7781343.

Personnel shufﬂe continues in the city BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – With a new mayor, treasurer, fire chief, assistant fire chief, fire captains, lieutenants and firefighters, the city of Greenville has experienced quite a bit of change in a few short months. According to Safety Service Director Curt Garrison, more change can be expected heading into next year. City residents will soon see two new police officers on the force. Garrison said 28 candidates took the Civil Service test for police officers and those who passed took the physical training portion of the test. Fourteen persons qualified for one of two positions. One of the openings in the police department is due to Officer Ryan Borowske

becoming the Student Resource Officer at Greenville Schools. More openings are also forthcoming in the police department. Sgt. Scott Drew announced he will be resigning towards the end of January. The city will set a date to offer the Civil Service test to fill the sergeant’s position. The appointment of a new sergeant will create another opening for a patrol officer, which the city can fill with one of the 14 persons who qualified on the previous Civil Service test. Just as the fire department did in 2016, the police department is expecting to lose its leader in 2017. Garrison doesn’t have a date as to when Chief Dennis Butts will retire, but believes it will be sometime during 2017. His retirement would

Personnel changes are not limited to the police department. The firedepartment is continuing to undergo changes.

The candidates will not be able to attend fire fighter training school until February. However, the city will bring the individuals on now to begin their in-house training. The Waste Water Treatment Plant will also see a few changes. Chuck Hapner has been serving as the temporary department head, but Garrison would like to take away the temporary tag. Hapner has expressed an interest in the position. The city was trying to come up with alternatives for the department, such as making the department head a part-

time position, but the Ohio EPA requires the operator of record to be onsite for 40-hours. An alternate operator of record is available to fill in for vacation and sick days. The city has two additional persons certified as operators of record. The city will also be looking to fill Hapner’s current position. Several city employees have expressed an interest in joining the Waste Water Treatment Plant staff. A Civil Service test may be required. Garrison said, “So it may create a vacancy elsewhere. It is definitely a domino effect putting the pieces together.” The city building has been sharing a custodian with Greenville Transit since the former city building custodian retired and the city would like to split up duties for that position. In addition to inside the city building, the new custodian’s duties would include landscaping and mowing at the city building and around the Traffic Circle. The street department has been providing that service. Garrison suggested the issue be addressed in the 2017 city budget.

Corynna’s legacy ‘Shines On’ at third annual 5K event BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Saturday marked the third annual Shine On Corynna 5K at the Darke County Fairgrounds. With over 200 registrations for the run/ walk, many more were onhand for the pre-race festivities. In addition to the glow in the dark race, there were many activities for the whole family to enjoy during the day. From over 200 chicken dinners sold, to face painting, games, music and more, the event raised well over $5,000 which goes towards keeping Corynna Strawser’s legacy of paying it forward going through giving back to the community and raising the money for Mitochondrial Disease awareness. Corynna passed away from the disease in December 2013, at the age of 16. Parents, Kristi and Sean Strawser continue to actively educate and raise awareness about the deadly disease that took their teenage daughter. Young Corynna inspired so many and had a strong belief in carrying it forward. State of the Heart established Corynna’s Wish in honor and in memory of Corynna. The program is for those patients who have a wish before they die, and they cannot physically or ﬁnancially do it without ﬁnancial assistance. “We would like to thank

everyone for helping us keep Corynna’s legacy of paying it forward, giving back to our community, and Mitochondrial Disease awareness,” said Sean and Kristi. “The continued support helps us continue Corynna’s memory and wishes.” If you would like to contribute to the wish program, you can make your donation through any of the agency’s offices. When making a donation for the program, please specify that it is for Corynna’s Wish and send it to the office nearest you. Office locations are on the agency’s website at www.stateoftheheartcare.org.

ON YOUR MIND

READERS WRITE Revisiting Kruckeberg I am glad ODOT is going to do something but I hope it will be done before January 12, 2017 when the school buses and car trafﬁc increase in the morning during darkness. I am glad I only use that intersection less than once a week. I used to pass through there twice a day. Everyone that lives south of town, east of 127 and North of town will most likely be using that intersection because it is the fastest and most convenient route to the new school. Also, if you think of all the trafﬁc that currently goes to the four schools going to one, everyone knows that intersection is going to be hectic. The current left turn off going north on 127 appears to be maybe three bus lengths long and it should be at least twotenths of a mile and maybe even longer. As far as I am concerned it should have been that long from the beginning. Also, I took the article in the paper to mean the study wouldn’t be complete till next year. At the

bare minimum that needs to be done before Jan. 12 is the signs installed as I had suggested. From 60 to 55 and from 55 to 50 at the distances I had suggested. Also, that north turn off going west extended to at least two-tenths of a mile. It also might be wise for someone to observe that intersection for a few days after the school opens during the times of the expected most traffic. I thank our county engineer for presenting my idea to the state officials, but in my opinion they and the state elected officials should have been planning for the schools’ opening as soon as the school levy passed. To me it shows their incompetence in their jobs, both elected and hired positions. (Incompetence - in part - lacking qualification or ability; an incompetent candidate.) Beginning on the morning of Jan. 12, 2017 we will find out if all the public feels the same way if it becomes too late to take action. There isn’t much time left. Dale Dickerson, Union City, Ohio

Ohio government will be held accountable COLUMBUS – Ohio Senate President Keith Faber (R-Celina) announced the passage of Senate Bill 329, the State Agency Sunset Review Act, which assures Ohio taxpayers that government agencies aren’t just bureaucracies with a blank check. Ohio is home to 25 state agencies or cabinet-level departments. From the Department of Corrections to the Department of Natural Resources, these agencies exist to serve taxpayers. In order to make sure each is effectively using its multi-million dollar budget, Faber along with Senator Kris Jordan (ROstrander) sponsored the bill which will allow the General Assembly to review an agency’s mission and practices with an eye to improve accountability, transparency, efficiency, and in some cases, even the ongoing operations of the agency all together. The legislation will serve to affirm or align agency policies, practices and mission with the current needs of Ohio and Ohioans. “We’ve needed this process for some time,” said Faber. “It’s often easy for bureaucracy to quietly grow and lose efficiency. A periodic review will go a long way in not only building transparency and trust in government, but also making sure we don’t create barriers for Ohioans needing services or seeking employment and business opportunities in our state.” “It is the tendency of government to grow, restrict liberty and reduce opportunities for its citizens,” added Jordan. “This review process will be an effective

tool to combat growth and keep state agencies from overstepping their authority.” The review process will start with the 132nd General Assembly in 2017. Agencies will be required to undergo a review on a rotating year basis so that each agency is examined every four years. Cabinet directors will be required to testify before respective Senate and or House committees, outlining the dollars spent and how these ofﬁces serve Ohioans. Should there be questions about an agency’s effectiveness, it can be recommended to sunset at a certain date, with its role being absorbed, merged or changed in an effort to better serve taxpayers. Ohio is a national leader in this type of state government reform effort, and the passage of SB 329 builds on President Faber’s efforts to make government more efﬁcient and transparent for Ohioans. The bill passed the Senate 22-8 and now moves to the Ohio House for consideration.

The Whiny Baby, Thumb Sucker Ryan’s World by Ryan Berry Managing Editor bluebagmedia.com

This week would have RYAN BERRY MANAGING been a good week for my EDITOR daughter to volunteer to write this column. It’s not been a horrible week, but it’s been a busy week; although it hasn’t been overly busy. I just don’t feel like sitting down at the computer and typing a bunch of gobbley gook. I’m going to blame the cold that has attacked my body and weakened my resolve. My wife may differ with my opinion, but I don’t believe I’m not one of those whiny baby, thumb-sucking guys who thinks his wife should cater to his every need when he has a snifﬂe. I don’t think I said one word about my cold and the misery I was in to my family. I put on my big boy pants, went to the bathroom, grabbed the nighttime cold syrup and downed a shot or two and went to bed. When I woke up I went back to the cupboard, found the orange tonic and took another shot or two. It said it was nondrowsy, but I’m not convinced. My youngest daughter noticed my suffering – only because she gave me the stupid cold – and offered me her tissues. My wife

bought her the kind with lotion. My nose welcomed them with open nostrils (but not too open because I was stuffy). We didn’t have lotion in our facial tissues when I was a kid. When I was a kid, we wiped our noses on our sleeves and were thankful our moms dressed us with longsleeved shirts. The shots of cold syrup worked like a charm and my snottyness has lessened, but now I have a cough. This dag-blasted cold isn’t the only real reason my week has been less than spectacular. My wife has a speciﬁc regimen when it comes to grocery shopping. She does it and we (the kids and I) do the heavy lifting. When she pulls up to the house she will open the trunk of the car, but that’s where she draws the line. It is up to us to make sure the treasure trove of goodies get from the car to the house. She stays in the house and puts the groceries away. When I say she puts the groceries away, what I really mean is she puts some of the groceries away. She will also say, “Oh! Since you’re on the way over there, could you throw this on the shelf?” Or, “can you put that in the fridge on the porch?” My oldest daughter is very strong and thinks she is stronger than me, but getting her to do the real heavy lifting is no easy task.

“Firefighters and first responders keep our communities safe in times of crisis,” said Brown. “These funds will ensure that Osgood’s firefighters have the resources they need to continue to serve their community.” Osgood Community Volunteer Fire Department was awarded this funding as part of the round six competitive Fiscal Year 2015 AFG Program announcements. The AFG program helps firefighters and other first responders protect the public and themselves. Projects funded though the Operations and Safety category include training, facility upgrades and modifications, and supplies such as protective equipment. Interested fire departments can contact Brown’s grant coordinator to receive information about federal grant opportunities.

I thought about asking her to grab the three 40lb bags of salt and carry them downstairs to the water softener. In my moment of weakness (the cold), I decided I didn’t want to suffer through her evil stare and grunts of disbelief that I would ask her to do something. The 120lbs of salt didn’t do me in. It was the 50lb bag of dog food. As soon as I lifted it, I felt the excruciating pain. I thoroughly tweaked my back.

A heating pad the next day helped and I thought I was back to normal. Nope! A trip downstairs to get the clothes out of the dryer… I didn’t even need to lift anything this time. I just leaned over and the pain hit and nearly dropped me to my knees. I guess I was wrong. After reading through this column, it would be fair to say I am a whiny baby, thumb sucker.

Survive the holidays while facing grief GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re grieving the death of a family member or friend, you may dread the holiday season.

Versailles battles back to defeat St. Henry in ﬁve GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

VERSAILLES – What looked like would be a cakewalk for the Versailles Lady Tigers grabbing the first set of the night 25-12 over the St. Henry Lady Redskins turned into an old fashion barn burner as the visitors would take Versailles to the wire in a fifth and final game with the Lady Tigers eking out a 3-2 Midwest Athletic Conference (MAC) win. “When we were able to focus on our games of five and just push forward and not allow them to get in our minds at all. We just keep moving forward as a team,” said Versailles Coach Kenzie Bruggeman. “Those are the games that we won. We were able to win by a 5-8 point margin because we were focused on those little games of five leading up to 20. Very

pleased with that.” Versailles would grab a 9-2 lead in game one and extended its lead to 19-9, including back-to-back aces from Elizabeth Ording. The Lady Tigers would score the ﬁnal four points to take game one by a lopsided 21-12 score. Set two would see eight ties, the last at 14-14 before the Lady Redskins would outscore the home team 11-4 to even the match at 1-1 with a 25-17 win. Game three had the Lady Tigers taking an early 8-5 advantage only to have St. Henry battle back and knot the score at 8-8, 9-9, 10-10, 11-11, 12-12, 13-13 before taking an 18-16 lead over Versailles. The Lady Tigers would rebound to even the score at 18-18 bringing a timeout from the Redskins’ bench. The girls from Versailles would make it a 2420 game only to have St.

Henry charge back to score six unanswered points and take a 2-1 match lead with a 26-24 win. “Their middles were very effective during those games that we lost,” Bruggeman noted. “They had that quick three ball that we couldn’t quite slow down.” “There were a couple of different things that they deﬁnitely threw at us but we were able to respond well,” added Bruggeman. “We let the games that we lost roll off our back knowing that we needed to take two more from them.” With their backs against the wall, the Lady Tigers jumped out to a 7-2 game four lead only to have St. Henry go on a 7-0 run to move out to 9-7 advantage. Versailles would battle back tying the score at 9-9 and 10-10 before settling in to take a 15-11 advantage. The Lady Redskins

would get as close at 1716 before the Lady Tigers would pull away to even the match at 2-2 with a 2519 win sending the match to a ﬁfth and ﬁnal set. St. Henry would open

the ﬁnal set with a 1-0 lead…even at 1-1 and 2-2 before the Lady Tigers would pull away with leads at 8-3 and 10-4 before winning 15-8 and take the MAC match 3-2.

“Liz Ording killed it,” Bruggeman stated. “She did amazing…Danielle Winner did amazing, our defense was all over the court and that is really important too.”

Lady Hawks and Lady Wave raise funds for ‘Volley for the Cure’ BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Two county schools came together Monday night at the Greenville High School gym in a ‘Volley for the Cure’ matchup between the Lady Wave and the Mississinawa Valley Lady Blackhawks. “The game is fun but the cause is a little bit more important,” said Greenville coach Chelsea Dowd. “We raised a solid amount of money for

the Darke County Breast Cancer Association, also for the Susan G Koman,” The Green Wave boys varsity soccer team took on a team of Greenville faculty between the junior varsity and varsity matches in a spirited game of volleyball in support of ‘Volley for the Cure.’ “What a good night,” Dowd stated. “The staffstudents game…people got a kick out of it, so it was a positive night. It was successful.” MV would win the

Monday night match by a 3-0 score but not without a challenge from the Lady Wave. “I can’t say enough about them tonight,” said Mississinawa coach Billie Hunt. “They came fired up, they played fired up the whole entire game and they gave it their all tonight. They were moving, they were talking. Everybody was doing a little bit of everything out there.” The visitors jumped out to a 12-5 lead bringing a timeout from the Lady Wave bench allowing Greenville to rebound to trail 12-11. The Lady Wave would get even at 16-16 and 1717 and 21-21 with Greenville getting its first lead of the night at 22-21 only to have the Lady Hawks even the score at 22-22, 23-23 and 24-24 before scoring the final two points to take set one by a 26-24 score. MV opened game two with a 7-2 advantage with the Lady Wave evening the score at 10-10. The Union City girls would score 13 unanswered points behind the serving of Shaiann Liv-

ingston to lead 23-10 and go on post a 25-13 game two win. “Shaiann Livingston’s run-up serves...serving is something we stress from the time they are in junior high. Not just serving, but mixing up the serve,” said Coach Hunt. “Just don’t serve the same ball every time. She is deﬁnitely one of my most consistent servers. When she’s up there I don’t care who

calls a timeout, what they do. She is going to go back and serve the ball.” The Third set of the night had the game played close including 10 ties before the Lady Blackhawks would use a 25-22 win to take the match by a 3-0 score. “We didn’t play poorly,” said GHS Coach Dowd. “We didn’t play to the best of our ability tonight. We have been play-

ing at a really high level the past couple of weeks. We have played in some good matches.” “We just got out-hustled a little bit tonight,” added Dowd. “From the beginning of the season they have improved so much. It’s reassuring. They don’t have anything to be ashamed of. It was a good match. It was a team effort and they all showed up tonight.”

Lady Wave honor Logan Tabler on senior night BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Lady Wave honored their lone senior; Logan Tabler on senior night prior to taking on a very good Tippecanoe Lady Red Devils volleyball team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That girl,â&#x20AC;? Greenville Coach Chelsea Dowd said of Logan Tabler, â&#x20AC;&#x153;positive, good at her position, setting, good at defense, good at hitting. She is an all-around athleteâ&#x20AC;Śnumber one and captain of the team.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be so sad to see her go and the girls will miss her,â&#x20AC;? added Dowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They respond well to her, she knows how to bring everybody together and girls rally around her.â&#x20AC;? Tipp took a 7-0 lead to open the night and

stretched its game one lead to 22-3 before the Lady Wave outscored the visitors 7-2 to close out game one on the losing end of a 25-10 score. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we played the other day, we mixed the lineup up a little bit and it worked well,â&#x20AC;? Dowd stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played really well against Butler and we started like that tonight.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ďŹ rst time we played Tipp we did not play well and I think they were really nervous about seeing them again, especially on a big nightâ&#x20AC;Ś senior night,â&#x20AC;? continued Dowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went back to our original lineup. I think they felt more comfortable and they knew they needed to play better and they did. They deďŹ nitely improve from the ďŹ rst game to the second

and to the third.â&#x20AC;? Game two had the Greenville girls making their best showing of the night opening with a 3-1 lead while seeing the game tied eight times before the tall Lady Red Devils would pull away for a 25-17 win. The Lady Wave played well in game three though the score did not indicate the improved play by the Wave, but it was Tippâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size and experience carrying the visitors to a 25-12 win over the young Greenville team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were way more rallies in the third game,â&#x20AC;? said Dowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me when there are good rallies, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when you know the match is being played well. We stepped up things, started to come together, we just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

sting enough points together at the end.â&#x20AC;? With tournament play just around the corner, Coach Dowd was not looking ahead, but on this senior night, attention

was directed to next year as Coach Dowd will have all varsity players returning but Tabler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She (Logan Tabler) is a very important player on our team. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one per-

son out of a team of ten at this point. We will miss her big time next year, but we are young, we have a lot of girls coming back, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for us as well.â&#x20AC;?

PITSBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Arcanum Girls volleyball team, family and friends traveled to neighboring Franklin Monroe Saturday morning to support â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Volley for the Cureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with a day of spirited volleyball between the Lady Trojans of Arcanum and the FM Lady Jets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great event,â&#x20AC;? said Arcanum Superintendent John Stephens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of fun for a great cause. I think everybody in some way or other, whether family for friends has been touched by cancer. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great day to get together and celebrate those who have beaten cancer and also remember those we have lost.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a neat opportunity for both communities to come together for a good cause,â&#x20AC;? said Franklin Monroe Superintendent Jeff Patrick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both teams come together for the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Volley for the Cureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and both teams are competitors but yet they work together to come to a common goal.â&#x20AC;?

NEW MADISON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Arcanum Lady Trojans and the Tri-Village Lady Patriots hooked up in a Cross County Conference matchup Tuesday night with Arcanum coming away with a 3-0 win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played pretty well,â&#x20AC;? said Arcanum Coach Macey Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came out a little slow tonight but we got the job done.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Arcanum is tough,â&#x20AC;? Tri-Village Coach Eric Burkhart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give a lot of free balls. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re scrappy and they are going to get a hit on the ball no matter what.â&#x20AC;? Set one had the score tied at 1-1, 2-2 and 4-4 before Arcanum would score seven unanswered points

after leading 6-5 pushing their advantage to 13-5. With the visitors leading 24-12, the Lady Patriots would run-off eight consecutive points to make it a 24-20 game before the Lady Trojans would score the ďŹ nal point to win game one by a 25-20 score. Tri-Village opened set two with its only lead of the game at 1-1 in a game played close on the board including ďŹ ve ties with the ďŹ nal tie at 17-17 before the Lady Trojans would close out the set 8-3 to win 2520. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes I think they like to play from behind, but we always get the job done,â&#x20AC;? said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell of the opening two sets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about.

Sweet Annie’s Cabin celebrating 30th anniversary BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartely@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – If you’re looking for a unique gift or home décor item, a trip to Sweet Annie’s Cabin in downtown Greenville is in order. Celebrating 30 years of business, owner Diane Billenstein offers quite a variety – women’s clothing, jewelry and scarves, children’s clothing and toys, and home décor, including

seasonal items – at her 536 S. Broadway location. Billenstein began her business under the name Enchanted Cottage, operating where Michael’s Fine Clocks is now located, she said. “I started making my own crafts, then added consignment,” Billenstein explained.

tion, where she specialized in patterns, material and craft items. Billenstein’s next adventure was opening a shop at Town and Country shopping center in Dayton. It was at that time she changed her business name to Sweet Annie’s Cabin, in honor of her favorite everlasting herb, Sweet Annie and her love of cabins. While operating a shop at Town and Country, Ed Cornell, owner of her current building, approached Billenstein to see if she would be interested in bringing her business back to downtown Greenville. The move to South Broadway was 13 years ago, she said. Sweet Annie’s Cabin specializes in “reﬁned” home décor. “You can blend so many looks together these days,” Billenstein explained.

Sweet Annie’s Cabin’s popular children’s section includes clothing for infants and young children, as well as accessories, unique toys and books. Gifts for your favorite gardener or chef also may be found. “Our fairy garden items and garden statuaries are very popular. Our kitchen area includes everything from kitchen gadgets to linens and curtains,” Billenstein said, as well as a variety of coffees and teas. Currently Billenstein employs three part-time workers, including Donna Kreitzer, Annie Oiler and

Improve your home’s energy efficiency While new homes are being built to be more energy efficient than ever before, thanks to a growing green building movement and increasingly strict building codes, the age of existing dwellings continues to present challenges. More than 40 percent of the housing stock in the United States was built before 1969 and simply wouldn’t stand up to today’s standards. Yet, much can be done to help homeowners improve their building envelope to reduce energy use and increase efficiency. Improving your home’s energy efficiency can help save money, keep you more comfortable, reduce pollution, and prevent global warming. Try these five simple measures to maximize the energy efficiency of your home: 1. Seal cracks and gaps around your home’s windows, doors, and vents. These can be a considerable source of energy loss, allowing conditioned air to escape and unconditioned air to infiltrate your home, placing stress on your furnace and air conditioner in the process. An easy DIY solution is to caulk around windows, doors, and vents, and install or replace worn weatherstripping. An average home loses up to 30 percent of its energy through air leaks, so sealing your home is a worthwhile exercise. 2. Top up or replace old insulation in your attic. A poorly insulated attic is a primary source of energy loss. Also, over time, some types of insulation can

settle and compact, allowing heat to escape through gaps. 3. Insulate basement headers. Uninsulated basement headers are common, especially in older homes. They can act as a gateway for heated air to escape. Fixing the problem is fast and easy. Simply cut a stone wool insulation to ﬁt the cavity and compress into place. Doing this throughout your basement will prevent heat loss and can potentially save hundreds of dollars each year. 4. Switch to LED light bulbs. Some LED light bulbs have a lifespan of up to 10 years, and are 80 to

90 percent more efficient than incandescent bulbs. They are generally more environmentally friendly than CFLs and safer, too, since they produce less heat. The return on investment is excellent, as LED bulbs often pay for themselves through energy savings within the first year. 5. Consider a home energy audit. This will help you identify and target specific problematic areas of energy loss. A professional home energy audit will also provide a list of recommended solutions to help you maximize your energy-efficiency strategy.

Trees may require pruning for a variety reasons. Storms may have damaged branches, necessitating a pruning. In other instances, trees may have outgrown their yards, overpowering the landscape. Autumn and winter, when trees largely go dormant and fallen leaves make it easier to see the branches beneath, may be prime times to prune. Pruning during the dormant period also minimizes sap loss and stress to the tree, and can help cut down on the growth of fungi. In addition, insects are less likely to be problematic during the colder months of the year. Trimming and pruning can be handled by do-it-yourselfers if the branches are smaller and more manageable. Practice on thinner branches before moving on to thicker ones, which may require extra help. Branches may be heavy, and it takes a guided hand to ensure the branches fall in a safe manner so they do not cause damage or injury. Branches also need to be trimmed properly to facilitate good healing. Trees will form a callus bark covering over cuts to keep out disease and decay, much as a scab forms over a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wound. Damaging the bark on a tree while pruning may interfere with that process, so doit-yourselfers need to take the time to prune correctly. According to Danny Lipford, home improvement expert and host of the radio program

THERE ARE INDUSTRY TEST STANDARDS, AND THEN THERE ARE TRANE STANDARDS.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Homeowner,â&#x20AC;? larger limbs may require three cuts instead of one. The ďŹ rst cut is a small notch in the bottom of the limb, around two to three feet from the trunk and about one-quarter of the way through. This helps prevent the bark from splitting. A relief cut is then made a few inches away from the notch cut, and goes all the way through. This removes the weight of the branch so that the ďŹ nal cut can be made without the branch splitting and falling. The ďŹ nal cut is made right where the limb extrudes from the branch collar, or the swollen bump that then forms into the tree limb. Follow the slant of the branch collar when making the cut. Smaller or thinner branches may not require the same three steps, but every effort should be made to reduce injury to the tree.

When deciding how much to prune, less is usually more. All pruning can put some level of stress on the tree and increase its vulnerability to disease and insect infestation. A good rule of thumb is to never prune more than 25 percent of the crown. According to experts at TreeHelp. com, living branches should comprise at least two-thirds the height of the tree. In some instances, the rules may need to be bent if trees are interfering with utility lines or to meet community laws. However, always prune minimally to avoid damaging the tree. The right tools also make the job safer and easier. Use a pole pruner and lopper, rope saws,

roofs in other ways. Water leakage and damage to the roof’s interior are just two of the potentially problematic issues that can arise when roofs are battered by cold, blustery weather. That’s why many home improvement specialists advise homeowners to conduct roof inspections prior to the start of winter. Many homeowners can conduct their own cursory roof inspections, but they may not know exactly what to look for. The National Roofing Contractors Association says that there are certain key areas to inspect that may reveal some telltale signs of roof damage. Curled, cracked or missing shingles may prove troublesome. Inclement weather can test the strength of even the most durable roofs. Even though many roofs are designed to last up to 30 years, some may need to be replaced early, particularly when they have been exposed to harsh weather over a period of years. Individual shingles can be replaced as spot treatments, but if the damage is widespread, a new roof may be necessary. Attic leaks or water elsewhere might signal issues with the roof. Figure out if water inside the home is coming from the roof. Water stains do not always indicate problems with the roofing, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Look for protective granules wearing off. If gutters are filled with the sandy granular material that coats roofing shin-

gles, that may be a sign of an aging or damaged roof. Inspect flashing. Professional roofers can recognize properly installed flashing, the material that connects the roof to other parts of the house that adjoin the roof, like skylights or a chimneys. Poorly installed flashing can cause leaks. Stains that appear below chimneys or near attic windows may indicate new flashing, and not new shingles, is needed. Gutters and downspouts should be in good condition. A roof is the sum of its parts, and that includes downspouts and gutters. If the gutters are clogged or damaged, they cannot direct water away from the house properly. Snow, leaves and other debris needs to be cleared from gutters to help them function at optimal capacity.

than 3/8â&#x20AC;? with caulk. * Insulate windows from the outside or inside. Windows are one of the most energy inefďŹ cient areas of the home. Install storm windows or use clear plastic sheeting from a window insulation kit to cut drafts down while keeping the view. Warm Things Up Save energy and keep your heat sources in working order. * Have your furnace professionally inspected and cleaned each fall before cold weather sets in. * Change your furnace ďŹ lter to ensure your system runs smoothly and captures airborne particles.

* Target your coldest rooms with a space heater. Never leave them unattended. An automatic shut-off is a smart feature to prevent overheating if you accidentally leave it unattended. * Install a programmable thermostat. Automatically turn down your heat at night or when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not home during the workday. * Stock up on ďŹ rewood if you have a wood burning ďŹ replace or heat source. Prep for the Extreme Stock up on supplies in case other Nature strikes with a vengeance. * Create an emergency

kit. Include a ďŹ rst aid kit, battery-powered radio, ďŹ&#x201A;ashlights and lanterns and fresh batteries. A manual can opener and canned food, non-perishable items and a three-day supply of drinking water should be part of your kit. * If you experience power outages in your area, consider purchasing a generator. Never operate a generator indoors, as the engine exhaust contains potentially fatal carbon monoxide. * For snow storms, stock up on shovels, ice scrapers, snow thrower fuel and salt

or sand to keep driveways and sidewalks clear of ice and snow. Clean Gutters In both metal and plastic gutters, water and debris can cause cracks, mold and rust. And clogged gutters can overďŹ&#x201A;ow, defeating the purpose of diverting water away from your foundation. * Use a garden hose with a spray nozzle to blast away debris like leaves, tree branches and muck. Spray water inside the downspout to clear out any clogs. * Fix leaks at the gutter seams with sealant.

Five simple projects to improve your home Home improvement projects range from major construction overhauls like bathroom remodeling jobs to smaller renovations that may entail something as minor as painting the walls. Smaller projects can often be conquered in a typical weekend but still provide a strong sense of accomplishment. The following are ďŹ ve projects tailor-made for weekend warriors. 1. Improve storage in the entryway. Home entryways are the ďŹ rst places many people drop mail, shed their shoes and toss their keys upon arriving home. As a result, entryways can quickly be overrun with clutter. Storage solutions can include putting in a desk or hutch with baskets underneath to store umbrellas and backpacks. Or hang a coat rack and create a shoe rack to store shoes until the time comes to leave the house once again. 2. Shed new light. Add some design appeal to your home by replacing an old lighting ďŹ xture with something more modern. Such a task is relatively easy, and you need not possess the skills of a trained electrician. 3. Add molding for a ďŹ nishing touch. Dress up spaces with crown molding or a decorative chair rail that goes around a room. You can even use molding to frame new or existing artwork. Find a molding style that complements the architectural style.

4. Update hardware in the bath and kitchen. Switch the handles, draw pulls and knobs on cabinetry with new hardware. The time commitment is practically nil, but you might just give rooms a whole new feel.

5. Patch and paint walls. Spend a weekend ďŹ lling in holes left behind by sinceremoved wall hangings. If the patches dry quickly, paint over them. If not, resolve to do your patchwork one weekend and paint the ensuing weekend.

Auto Tech students choose project for 2016-17 competition BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – With big shoes to ﬁll, the Greenville Automotive Technology program unveiled its 2016-17 competition project during the fall advisory committee meeting, held Thursday, Oct. 6. “Gaining Traction in the Automotive Industry” will explore the various careers offered by the automotive industry, explained instructors Jim Anderson and Travis Nicholas. The 2015-16 auto tech project, “Powering the Future” featured ideas on alternative fuels and the future of electric cars. The project earned third place in the nation during competition this past June in Louisville, Ky. This year’s competition group hopes to continue the winning tradition set by the 2015-16 team. Students selected to work as the presentation team for this school year include Shelbi Miller, Austin Lacey and Nathan Remencus, with Caleb Baker as the alternate. With Toyota as the cor-

porate sponsor for 2016-17, students have already started building their hands-on project, which features a Toyota Camry tire as the main element. According to Anderson, students will research how and why this tire was speciﬁcally designed for use on the Camry and learn about job descriptions of those working on the tire from its conception and design and to the development of safety components and installation and use. “They’ll be looking at jobs beyond being a technician,” Anderson said. “It’s not just

about turning wrenches.” Anderson said the competition projects completed by his students help them apply what they’ve learned and understand the variety of job opportunities in the automotive ﬁeld. “I believe in projectbased education,” Anderson said. Students were asked to pick a car part for the technical portion of the competition, Anderson said. The tire meets that requirement. Auto Tech students will travel to Georgetown, Ky. on Oct. 17 to tour the Toyota Motor Manufacturing Ken-

VFW Post 7262 celebrates 70th anniversary BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville VFW Post 7262 celebrated its 70th anniversary Saturday, Oct. 1 The afternoon included a look back at the Post’s history as well as a ceremony honoring its special project – the Greenville Veterans Memorial Park and Digital Library. The Greenville Veterans Memorial Park was developed in 1998 to house a display of the Vietnam Traveling Wall. The Digital Library component includes taped interviews with area veterans, started by students in Sandy Hoying’s American History classes at Greenville High School, using The Library of Congress Veterans History Project kit. Hoying spoke during the anniversary celebration on Saturday, encouraging those present to conduct their own interviews with veterans in their families and provided kits for those interested in the project.

Today, students in the GHS Career Tech’s interactive media class participate in videotaping veteran interviews for the Digital Library project. Shown throughout the anniversary celebration were videos of Bob Stauffer, Harold Staffer, Jack Harless and Doug Black. Mike Maloney, Post trustee and past commander, is spearheading the Digital Library project and hopes to attract younger veterans to join the VFW with the Digital Library and by using today’s technologies. “We’re hoping to inspire younger veterans to tell their stories,” Maloney said. Maloney gave a brief history of Post 7262, which started when a group of World War II veterans ﬁrst met at Mid’s Bar in downtown Greenville. “Some tired, weary soldiers from World War II, they could have come back and chilled out. They wanted this and never stopped serving. They passed it on to Korean, Vietnam and to today’s veterans.” * Maloney also shared the following statistics: * 9 percent of Americans are veterans * American veterans have a 18 percent suicide rate * 80 percent of veteran suicide victims have no connection to a veteran’s organization * American’s service organizations are losing members The VFW founding members built and “organization to help veterans cope and deal with these issues,” Maloney said, encouraging those present to help fellow veterans with issues such as PTSD. Other members sharing memories of Post 7262 during the anniversary celebration included Judy Jones, past president of Auxiliary Post 7262, Pat Harless, Don Dietrich, chairman of GVMPDL, and State VFW Commander Ronnie Davis. “No one does more for veterans,” Davis said of the VFW organization. “No one is more deserving for assistance than American veterans.” Davis also asked if the organizers of the VFW “have any idea that what they started would survive and grow and do so much for Greenville veterans? The VFW is a very important part of every GI’s life. Your VFW is a place of comfort and support for them. Only here at the VFW can you meet the people who laid their lives on the line.” Also participating in Saturday’s anniversary celebration were Post Commander Bob Klosterman and Marlene McGlinch, who offered the benediction. Those interested in learning more about the Digital Library project are invited to contact Maloney at 937-542-0966.

Ansonia performs in BSU halftime show BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

MUNCIE, Ind. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Ansonia High School Marching Band may be small, but that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop them from being part of something big. On Oct. 1, the band travelled to Muncie, Ind. and Ball State University to perform at halftime with Ball Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pride of MidAmerica Band in the BSU Band Day. Jessica Berry, band director at Ansonia, is a Ball State graduate and wanted her students to have an opportunity to discover what it is like to perform with a college marching band. Even though she has a connection with the university, Berry admits it was her students that pushed her to apply. She said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I heard about Ball State having a Band day from a few of my students, I went online to obtain more information (date, schedule, etc.) and seeing that it ďŹ t well with

our schedule, I completed the online registration with BSU.â&#x20AC;? She said her students not only had the chance to attend a college football game, they were also able to rehearse and gain the experience of performing during a collegiate halftime show. Nine other high schools from Indiana and Ohio joined in the fun. The massed group played â&#x20AC;&#x153;Star Trek Finaleâ&#x20AC;? which, Berry said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;was challenging musically but still fun to play.â&#x20AC;? She continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The atmosphere was entirely different than what they are used to and it gave them a glance at what it would be like to participate in a marching band at the collegiate level. The students had a lot of fun meeting, observing, and cheering with members of the BSU marching band.â&#x20AC;? Berry is already planning for next year and returning with her students to Ball State.

UNION CITY, Ind. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Union City Community High School recently recognized students who have achieved a high level of academic excellence in their high school career. Recognizing academic excellence, High School Principal Aaron Black presented six students with an academic jacket, which is awarded to a UC student that has recorded straight Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for four straight semesters. The six students who received the jacket were Kahlee Dowler, Connor Kerns, Ellie Kerns, Justiss Cantu, Mackenzie Neeley and Nalaina Whitesal. Four other students were awarded their academic jacket chevron after continuing to receive grades of 90 percent or higher for four additional semesters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; after receiving their jacket. The students awarded a chevron were Eilzabeth Sowinski, Kollin Warren, Katie Rismiller and Hayden Downey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am extremely proud of these young men and women,â&#x20AC;? said Principal Black. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We recognized them today in front of the entire student body because their accomplishments deserve that type of recognition. I wanted all of our students to see what happens when you work hard.â&#x20AC;? Following the jacket ceremony, National Honor Society (NHS) Adviser, Brad Hoggatt and the current members, welcomed 16 new membersâ&#x20AC;Śpropelling Union City to the top of any Indiana high school of itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size for the largest NHS chapter. Union City High School juniors and seniors with a GPA of 3.3 or higher are eligible for induction, which is based on the four pillars of NHS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Scholarship, Leadership, Character and Service. Once a student is eligible, they then create a resume fulďŹ lling several requirements â&#x20AC;&#x201C; listing the purpose or objective for the resume, schooling and scholarship (GPA),

school activities and leadership experience, examples of community service, examples of work experience, any awards earned and three character references. This, along with a cover letter sharing why they should be selected, are given to the members of the NHS Selection Committee for consideration. Each area is scored on a fourpoint rubric. All scores are averaged together and if a student earns 11 points or more, they receive membership into National Honor Society. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This process of induction eligibility may differ in other school districts, but it what works best for us here at Union City,â&#x20AC;? noted Black. The 16 new NHS inductees are Tiana Davis, Issac Jefferis, Jennifer Perez, Cassandra Martin, Justiss Cantu, Rawlin Mills, Macken-

zie Neeley, Cody Crawford, Nalaina Whitesel, Connor Kerns, Ellie Kerns, Emily Cline, Haley Whitesel, DaKota Hanaway, Kahlee Dowler and Trevor Thompson.

Following the parade, Murphy gave some words of encouragement to the Patriot varsity football team and was honored in a short presentation ceremony on the 50 yard line prior to the kick-off of the week six game against Gamble Montessori. During the presentation, the 800 meter Olympian received plaques and proclamations recognizing his success on the track from Second National Bank, the New Madison Kiwanis Club, the Village of New Madison and the Darke County Commissioners – who declared August 15 as Clayton Murphy day in Darke County. “The recognition from the school and the community was amazing,” Murphy told The Early Bird. “Seeing such a small community come together around me was an awesome feeling. The parade and ceremony on the field gave me chills seeing everyone cheer and share their congratulations!” Additionally, the TriVillage Athletic Hall of Fame officially inducted the 21-year-old for all his success as a cross country and track athlete during his high school career. In a special final presentation, Tri-Village Superintendent Josh Sagester and Athletic Director Brad Gray presented Murphy with an honorary plague to announce the naming of the school track and annual cross country invitational after Murphy. “The school district and community all are extremely proud of Clayton and his accomplishments. He’s a testament that through hard work, discipline and perseverance that anything is possible,” said Josh Sagester. “He’s certainly left a profound legacy at the high school, collegiate and professional level in his young career. The Tri-Village Local School District and community is honored

and grateful that we get the privilege of spending an evening with Clayton and his family!” The school also unveiled its Clayton Murphy commemorative wall inside the main entrance to the school. The wall displays Clayton’s track uniforms and featured statistics from his high school career at Tri-Village, to when he ran for the Akron Zips in college and of course his bronze medal race at the Olympic Games in Rio. Murphy’s track shoes and Rio racing bib are also enclosed in a display case on the wall. See photo of the wall at facebook.com/ bluebagnews. “Our community has been very eager to get the chance to show him our appreciation for his accomplishments. Clayton has put Tri-Village not just on the national map but also on the global map with his historic accomplishments this past summer in both the Olympic Games and the Olympic Trials,” added Brad Gray. “All of the accomplishments that he has obtained from his time here as a student up until now give our kids a real life role model for chasing your dreams. He is a true testament to what having goals and working hard towards the goals can do for you. He has deﬁnitely left a legacy not only here at Tri-Village, but for the whole area. We are very proud of him and thrilled that we get to call him a Tri-Village Patriot!” Murphy stuck around during the game for a meet and greet with the community. Fans young and old lined up to shake his hand, tell him congratulations or just simply to get an autograph from the world-class track star. “I am so proud of Clayton and his accomplishments…Not only for New Madison, but for all of Darke County,” said Darke County Sheriff and New Madison resident Toby Spencer. “He is a great ambassador for the youth of our community!” Murphy is currently back in Akron for schooling and training. His professional schedule begins in February 2017 – where he says meets in New York, New Mexico and Sacramento (which is a qualiﬁer for IAAF World Championships in London) are some of the races he will be competing in.

BRADFORD – The Prince and Princess Pumpkin Pageant was held Tuesday in Bradford, with 21 contestants ages 6-11 vying for the titles of 2016 Prince and Princess. Contestants were judged on appearance, stage presentation/poise, costume and interview. The children were invited to relive their favorite time in history in honor of the 2016 Pumpkin Show theme: “Travel through time with us as Bradford celebrates 150 years.” Bradford will be celebrating its sesquicentennial next year. Prestyn Dross of Bradford was named Prince with Isabel Eichhorn of Troy taking home the title of Princess. Dross, a Bradford kindergartner and son of Amber Dross, came to the pageant dressed as Denny Patty, owner of Patty’s IGA in Bradford. Wearing a white apron and carrying grocery bags ﬁlled with water and snacks, Dross was a hit with the crowd – many who patronize the Brad-

ford grocery where Prince Dross said his grandmother is employed. Dressed as a Hawaiian girl, Eichhorn, a thirdgrader at Miami East Elementary and daughter of Russel and Rebecca Eichhorn, gave a brief history lesson about Hawaii becoming the 50th state in 1959. Eichhorn carried an American flag with 48 stars, explaining it was the flag flown prior to Alaska and Hawaii receiving statehood. “It’s my great-great-grandfather’s flag,” she explained. Eichhorn said her favorite subject in school was math. “I love adding, subtracting and rounding numbers,” she said. Acting as master of ceremonies Tuesday was Bradford kindergarten teacher Michelle Long. Judges for the pageant included 1984 Bradford High School graduate Lee Harmon, now chief of police for Covington and a member of the Covington Board of Education; Mary Thomas of Troy who is affiliated with Shelby County Special Olympics and serves in several capacities

The Bradford Pumpkin Show queen contestants were Cheyenne Parke; Natalie Wuebker; Lillian Elleman, 1st runner-up; Ally Booker, Miss Pumpkin; Aspen Weldy, 2nd runner-up; Brycelyn Hoop, Best Evening Gown; and Holly Rosengarten.

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

BRADFORD – The number of contestants for the annual Miss Pumpkin contest in Bradford may have been down, but the quality of the candidates would be hard to surpass. Seven young ladies were in the spotlight on Oct. 5 when they took the stage to see who would be named 2016 Miss Pumpkin. Contestants had their initial judging prior to the public portion of the event. After introducing themselves and answering a question pulled from a pumpkin, the top 10 are normally named. With only seven contestants, all of the ladies participated in the final round. To determine the winner and her court, the contestants are secluded and marched to the stage from a soundproof room to answer a final question. The same question is asked to each of the ladies. The result was unprecedented – a tie. All seven ladies were asked to repeat the final round with a new question.

After answering the question, “If you could make a difference in the life of one person, who would it be and why,” Ally Booker, a senior at Bradford High School, separated herself from the ﬁeld to earn the crown. While others answered the question by naming a family member, Booker singled out an individual who wants to be friends with everyone. “They’ll be friends to him,” she said, “but not behind him. It breaks my heart.” Joining Booker on the Bradford Pumpkin Show Queen’s Court are ﬁrst runner-up Lillian Elleman, a sophomore at Bradford High School, and second runner-up Aspen Weldy, a junior at Bradford High School. Weldy also earned the titles Miss Photogenic and Miss Congeniality. Brycelyn Hoop, a sophomore at Bradford High School, earned the prize for Best Evening Gown. Additional contestants were Cheyenne Parke, a senior at Upper Valley Career Center, Holly Rosengarten, a sophomore at Bradford High School, and Natalie Wuebker, a senior at Ver-

sailles High School. In the Little Miss & Master Pumpkin Pageant, it was ﬁve-year-old Olyvia Lear, of Bradford, and twoyear-old Carson Bryant, of Covington, earning the top titles. First runners-up were Harper Moore, age three, of Bradford, and Garrett Yingst, age two, of Bradford. The second runners-up were Sophia Lacy, age three, of Bradford, and Robert Wood, age 5, of Bradford. Lear and Yingst earned the Best Dressed

titles. Parade Float winners were Braxten Seman, age three, of Bradford, first place; Bryant, second place; and Robert and Jacob Wood, ages five and three, of Bradford, third place. Additional contestants were Eisley Barga, age two, Greenville; Grace Bellamarie Queen, age three, Bradford; Anna Rank, age three, Bradford; Lillian Mae Shuff, age two, Greenville; and Bristol Wombold, age five, Bradford.

Greenville Walk To End Alzheimer’s raises over $23,000 BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE - Over 200 people took part in Saturday’s Walk To End Alzheimer’s fundraiser event in the Greenville City Park. According to the Alzheimer’s Association website, the Greenville walk raised $23,706.35 which was just shy of $28,500 goal. According to walk coordinator Katie Mauch, this was one of the biggest year’s ever for the walk. The money raised goes towards global research for the disease and local services of those impacted by Alzheimer’s. “Caregivers are overwhelmed, its diﬃcult with all of decisions that have to be made, so with local services we can provide them with support they need during these tough times of caring for someone with the disease,” Mauch said.

The Alzheimer’s Association states the following: Alzheimer’s is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse over time, becoming severe enough to interfere with daily tasks. Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of aging, although the greatest known risk factor is increasing age, and the majority of people with Alzheimer’s are 65 and older. But Alzheimer’s is not just a disease of old age. Up to 5 percent of people with the disease have early onset Alzheimer’s (also known as younger-onset), which often appears when someone is in their 40s or 50s. During the annual Walk To End Alzheimer’s, each person carries a colored pinwheel-style ﬂower to symbolize how the disease has impacted their life. The blue ﬂower is for someone living with Alzheimer’s dis-

ease, yellow is for professional or volunteer caregivers, an orange flower means you support a world without Alzheimer’s and purple flowers are for those who have lost someone from the disease. “Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. There is no cure for it, no way to prevent it or slow it’s progression...which is devastating to families impacted by the disease,” Mauch explained. “This is a global epidemic and the Alzheimer’s Association does events like this to ultimately one day find a cure or at least a way to prevent the disease, so then one day we can add a fifth flower at our walks...for survivors!” Greenville is just one of the five walks held in the Miami Valley region. Additional walks are held in Celina, Troy, Sidney and Richmond, Ind. To learn more about the disease and how you can help, visit the Alzheimer’s Association website at www. alz.org.

WAYNE LAKES - A woman and two young children were hospitalized after suffering from carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning Tuesday morning in Wayne Lakes. Just after 12 p.m., the Tri-Village Rescue, New Madison Fire Department, Greenville Township Rescue and the Darke County Sheriff’s Office responded to 3733 Hickory Drive after the woman, identified as 23-year-old Lacie Johnson, called 911 to report her 4-year-old nephew was not responding properly. As crews arrived on scene, high levels of CO where discovered in the home. Both children were transported to the Tri-Village Rescue station to then be airlifted via CareFlight to Dayton Children’s Hospital. Miss Johnson was taken to Wayne HealthCare in Greenville. They were later released after recovering from the illness. “It was a terrifying day! If it wasn’t for the TriVillage Rescue we would have never known there was a CO issue,” Johnson said in an interview with our media partners at WHIO. “We would like to thank them for doing everything they could to keep us calm.” The New Madison Fire Department remained on

the scene to ventilate the home until the air quality returned to a safe level. Although the cause of the carbon monoxide poisoning remains under investigation, it is thought to have come from a faulty water heater. Johnson conﬁrms the issue has since been resolved and two CO detectors have been installed in the home. As cold temperatures begin to arrive, Chief Robert ‘Scoob’ Cook of the the New Madison Fire Department wants to remind everyone to have your chimney and furnaces checked on a regular basis and be sure you have working ﬁre alarms and CO detectors in your home. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that t least 430 people die in the U. S. from accidental CO poisoning each year. Approximately 50,000 people in the U.S. visit the emergency department each year due to accidental CO poisoning. The most common symptoms of CO poisoning are headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, and confusion. People who are sleeping or who have been drinking alcohol can die from CO poisoning before ever having symptoms. Learn more about CO poisoning prevention from the CDC website at www.cdc.gov/features/ copoisoning.

Chapter hosts pheasant hunt for veterans GREENVILLE – Darke County Pheasants Forever will be hosting the sixth annual veteran’s pheasant hunt on Nov. 13. This will be an excellent event for veterans to enjoy a pheasant hunt, learn about wildlife habitat conservation, clay bird shooting, and other outdoor activities. The purpose of the Veterans’ Pheasant Hunt is to give military veterans the opportunity to enjoy a guided pheasant hunt and to understand Pheasants Forever’s mission to promote wildlife habitat conservation. This hunt is Pheasants Forever’s way of thanking all veteran’s for their ser-

vice to our country. This hunt is sponsored by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife, the Wildlife Restoration Fund, and other local sponsors. The hunt will be held at Deer Run, which is located at 5252 Stoker Road (about two-miles southeast of Newport), Shelby County. All hunters will need to have a valid Ohio hunting license the day of the hunt. Hunting licenses will not be sold at the hunt. The hunt is for veterans; however, other family members and friends can attend to participate in other outdoor activities. Applications must be

received by Oct. 23. Registration packets can be picked up at Ace Hardware in Greenville during business hours. This application packet and directions can be printed from the Darke County Pheasants Forever website http://www.darkecountypf675.org/events/.

GREENVILLE – If Greenville’s ﬁrst-graders didn’t already know how to make a cheeseburger, they should have no problem now, after attending Farm Safety Day at the Darke County Fairgrounds on Thursday. And they can tell you how all the ingredients relate to agriculture. Sponsored by the Greenville FFA, 201 Woodland Primary ﬁrstgraders spent their school day on Oct. 6 traveling from station to station to learn a variety of safety tips. “We’re teaching the kids about safety in different areas as well as about the different areas of agriculture,” said Karri Sherman, ag teacher. Thirty-seven FFA students planned and presented mini-classes about food and tractor safety, tips on how to act around animals and how to safely carve a Halloween Jack-o’-

lantern. The first-graders also were able to touch an ear of corn, see what the kernels look like after being removed from the cob and pass around a plastic bag filled with ground cornmeal. Also on hand during Safety Day were members of the Greenville Township Rescue Squad and Greenville Police. “With what’s been happening in the news lately, we wanted to share with the students that the police are here to help, not hurt you,” Sherman said. The first-graders were treated to a “tour” of an ambulance and took turns sitting in a police cruiser. Squad members also demonstrated how they will help students if they were ever involved in an accident. Reegan Shoffstall, 6, said she enjoyed taking her turn to sit in the driver’s seat of a police cruiser and enjoyed “the cop part” of the field trip. “I learned to never touch guns,” she said.

Senior FFA member Jack Garland said he’s been teaching the How to Make a Hamburger station for several years during the agriculture program’s annual Safety Day. “We explain to the kids how it all relates back to farmers,” said Garland, who showed the firstgraders a cucumber and explained the pickling process to make hamburger pickles. Harley Fisher and Elias Watters, both seniors, assisted Garland in asking the first-graders questions about where the ingredients on a cheeseburger come from. The young students also were invited to come up front and actually build a pretend cheeseburger to demonstrate the process. Each class got the opportunity to decorate a large pumpkin with a variety of art supplies, which will be displayed in each first-grade classroom. Also, each student received a small pumpkin to decorate and take home.

GREENVILLE – There are 363 junior high students that are counting down the days until they walk into a new school building. In a little over two months these students will clear out their lockers and head home for the winter break – leaving a building that hosted students for 93 years. To commemorate the ﬁnal students educated in the building, Greenville Junior High gathered its seventh and eighth graders together for pictures. The eighth grade class has 163 students and the seventh grade class has 200 students. (Richard Brown photos)

CADC remembers Ridenour’s fight GREENVILLE – On July 25, the annual Annie Oakley Golf Tournament was held at Turtle Creek. Many golfers came to golf and businesses sponsored Tee Signs. A banquet was enjoyed in the evening. The proceeds from the tournament were presented to the Cancer Association of Darke County. Tim Ridenour was one of the clients receiving assistance from the association and he and his wife, Mary Ann, shared their compelling story at the banquet about their journey through the devastating illness of cancer. In 2013, Tim was diagnosed with Stage 4 Glioblastoma Multiforme (an aggressive brain tumor). Being a survivor of premature birth, injuries from being hit by a car as a child, serving the Navy in Lebanon and later becoming a firefighter, Tim had yet another battle to fight. With the help of a dedicated, loving wife, who had also had brain surgery, they decided to fight this battle with a fierce determination to win. Tim had surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and wore a NovoTTF (now called Optune) which created low intensity electric fields which attack tumor cells. Earlier this year, he

experienced a brain bleed which caused inability to swallow, paralysis of the left vocal cord and weakness on his left side. However, he and Mary Ann did not feel defeated at all, but they continued to march through this trial. They just contacted the cancer association this past year because they had always wanted to help others and found it difficult to ask for help for themselves. Sadly, Tim lost his battle on Sept. 4. The Annie Oakley Golf Committee and the Board of Directors at the Cancer Association of Darke County want to thank Mary Ann for their openness and deep desire to help others by sharing their journey. Tim is sadly missed by family and friends. The association and the golf committee truly appreciate this couple’s willingness to speak at the event and to encourage all to help the organization with continued financial support. If you would like to support your local cancer patients, call the office and speak with Christine at 548-9960 or mail donations to Cancer Association of Darke County, PO Box 781, Greenville, Ohio 45331.

Pie Baking Contest and Basket Raffle GREENVILLE – The Prairie Days Pie Baking Contest proved a great success once again this year. There were 14 entries in the contest, one of which was even baked over the fire in the historical encampment. After judging, the pies were sliced and sold in the Prairie Days Mad Anthony’s Tavern to benefit the Friends of the Darke County Parks. The contest featured four different categories including apple, berry, peach, and other. The Friends would like to thank Diane Barga, Travis Nicholas, and Robert Besecker for judging this year’s contest.

First place in the apple pie category went to Ginnie Schoening for her caramel apple pie, and first place in the berry and peach pie categories went to Darlene Dillon for her blueberry and peach pies, and Carolyn Hollinger’s oatmeal raisin pie took first in the “other” category. The Best in Show prize went to Darlene Dillon for her peach pie; this is the third year in a row that peach has taken the top prize.

Guard Against Identity Theft And Protect Your Finances

Each year, millions of Americans are victimized by identity theft, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. What can you do to guard your identity and protect yourself from potential financial losses? Here are some ideas to consider: • Review your statements. Closely review the monthly statements from your checking and other financial accounts. If you find any unfamiliar charges, contact your bank or other financial services provider immediately. • Order your credit reports. The three credit reporting agencies — TransUnion, Equifax and Experian — are each required by law to provide you one free credit report a year. Make sure your name, address and other information are correct on your credit report, and if you find old or inaccurate information, have it removed. Place a fraud alert. If you suspect you have become a victim of identity theft, place a “fraud alert” on your credit reports by contacting any of the three credit reporting agencies. You can choose a short-term or longterm alert. And if you’re an active member of the military, you can request a special, one-year alert. • Feed your shredder. Shred all old bank and investment statements, applications for new credit cards and any other documents that contain personal information. • Destroy digital data. If you have a variety of financial accounts, you’re not just creating a paper trail — you’re also establishing a digital “footprint.” So when you sell or otherwise dispose of a computer system or hard drive, you may want to take steps to destroy personal data. You might think that simply deleting it would be sufficient, but tech-savvy

identity thieves can “undelete” files or recover information from a formatted drive. However, products are available that allow you to completely wipe out data on hard drives. • Change passwords. It’s a good idea to change your internet passwords every so often — especially those passwords that provide access to financial accounts. • Leave your Social Security card home. Snagging someone’s Social Security number is a real “catch” for identity thieves, so do everything you can to thwart them. You can start by leaving your Social Security card safely at home — after all, there’s probably never a good reason to bring it out anyway. In fact, be wary of anyone, or any business, that asks for your Social Security number, either in person or online. Except for a few obvious exceptions, such as your tax preparer, most reputable businesses don’t need to know anything about your Social Security information. • Watch for “phishers.” If you’ve ever gotten an email, supposedly from your bank, advising you that your account will be “frozen” unless you provide personal details about your account, it’s a good bet that someone is “phishing” for this information — and they’re using the “freezing” threat as bait. What’s particularly alarming is that these “phishers” have gotten quite good at duplicating logos and using officialsounding language. However, a legitimate bank would never threaten you this way with an email. So, if you get such a message, contact the bank’s fraud department. You can go a long way toward protecting yourself against identity theft by following these suggestions — so put them to work soon.

Resource Officer. Officer Hyden is a graduate of Troy High and received his Ohio Peace Officer Academy Certificate from Edison Community College as well as earning his Associate of Business in Computer Information Technology, Computer Security and Forensics. He has been a member of the Arcanum Police Department since March of 2015 and has served as a law enforcement officer for nine years, both as a Deputy Sheriff and Patrolman. Officer Hyden has displayed a strong desire to work with the youth in a school setting and is excited about the opportunity to serve the Arcanum-Butler School Community. Arcanum Superintendent John Stephens believes Officer Hyden will be an asset to the district. Superintendent Stephens stated, “Officer Hyden will serve the district in several capacities, but the relationships he develops with students, staff and parents will be vital to the success of the program. I believe Officer Hyden has the right combination of interpersonal skills and law enforcement experience needed.” Arcanum Mayor Judy Fourman, Chief Andrew Ashbaugh and Village Council Representative Julie Willis are excited for the opportunity to partner with the district. “The SRO officer is offense not defense. I am proud to be a part of this progressive community. Officer Hyden is a caring individual and will serve our school and community with respect and dignity,” said Mayor Fourman. Officer Hyden will be in full uniform and will be equipped with a patrol vehicle while on duty. He

will be on duty from the time that middle and high school students arrive until after the dismissal of the elementary students throughout the school year. As an SRO, he will serve as a Law-Enforcement Officer, Law-Related Counselor, Law-Related Educator and a positive role model. Officer Hyden will assist the district in coordinating Emergency Operations Planning, assist in developing/monitoring school safety measures and work with administration to provide educational programming through visits in the classroom. “While being equipped and trained to handle law enforcement issues such as an armed intruder is valuable for the safety of students and staff, I believe the time spent in the classroom educating our students about issues related to illegal drug use, social media misuse and stranger danger will be instrumental to developing the SRO program,” said Superintendent Stephens. Officer Hyden expressed his thoughts on the opportunity. “I am very excited for the opportunity to work day-to-day with the students and staff inside the Arcanum-Butler local

School District. In addition to providing a security presence, I hope that having a School Resource Ofﬁcer inside the school on a daily basis will provide a positive setting for students and staff to interact with law enforcement.”

Ag Education and FFA return to Arcanum

Second grade teachers Mrs. Karla Kunk and Mrs. Carrie Brodbeck take a ride down the slide.

Summer slide has new meaning in Ansonia ANSONIA – Last spring, the principal of Ansonia Elementary, Mrs. Stump, challenged the students at Ansonia Elementary to read 925 hours over their summer break. This was known as the summer slide challenge. Summer slide is something that affects many students over the summer when they are not in school. Summer slide is when students “slide back” academically over summer break. In order to prevent summer slide, Mrs. Stump presented this challenge to the students. If the

Greenville BOE meets

students met or exceeded their challenge of reading 925 hours, they would get to watch their teachers slide down a large inﬂatable slide at the beginning of the 2016-2017 school year. Not only did these students meet their challenge, they exceeded it by reading 1,297 hours. On Sept. 16, the students got to watch their teachers slide. The students also got to enjoy a ride or two down the slide during their physical education or music class that day. The staff and students at Ansonia Elementary would like thank David and Ericka Kramer for the use of their inﬂatable slide.

ARCANUM – The anticipation and excitement had been building for the return off FFA to Arcanum and it has finally arrived. Through a joint effort of Miami Valley CTC and Arcanum-Butler Local Schools the Agricultural Education Program is back for students, coming with it is the reestablished FFA Chapter. The National FFA Organization (formerly Future Farmers of America) reactivated the FFA Chapter bringing back the original Chapter Number OH0011 and all of the history that comes with it. The Arcanum MVCTC FFA Chapter is 72 members strong in this first year back and those members have already been busy. Members have attended a Greenhand Conference designed for first year members and they also competed in the Darke County and District 5 Soil Judging Contest. The FFA has elected officers for the 2016-2017 School year and they are: Seniors – Marcy Bradshaw, Makenna Hutcheson, Brenna Loxley, Juniors – Alexandria Less, Samantha McAllister, Jacob Osswald, Hannah Rammel, Cole Spitler, Jonah Weidner, Alex Weiss, Sophomores – Carver Gostomsky, Zacha-

ry Smith and Tabitha Watern. Other activities that will be available to members this year will be the National FFA Convention, State Leadership Nights, FFA Camp and State FFA Convention where they will be recognized on stage as a reestablished FFA Chapter. FFA members will also be able to test their skills against the rest of the State in Career Development Events including areas of: Job Interview, Parliamentary Procedure, Public Speaking, Farm Business Management, Agronomy, Equine, General Livestock, and Wildlife Management. The FFA members will also be completing community service projects and fundraisers including Fruit Sales which will kick off Oct. 13.

The 2016-2017 Arcanum MVCTC FFA Officers are (first row) Brenna Loxley, president; Marcy Bradshaw, historian; Makenna Hutcheson, reporter; (second row) Samantha McAllister, 2nd Vice President; Alexandria Less, assistant secretary; (third row) Jonah Weidner, chaplain; Alex Weiss, vice president; Jacob Osswald, treasurer; (fourth row) Carver Gostomsky, 3rd vice president; and Zachary Smith, student advisor. Not pictured are Cole Spitler, secretary; Hannah Rammel, historian; and Tabthia Watern sentinel.

If you are interested in learning more about the FFA or would like to offer support you can con-

tact the advisor Mr. Brian Pohlman at bpohlman@ mvctc.com.
