Nearly 200 cast Union City NHS surprises local ballots on ﬁrst woman with a home makeover day of voting CLINTON RANDALL

GREENVILLE – Darke County seems to following a trend that has been set throughout Ohio. While the majority of voters will cast their ballot on Election Day, there are an increasing number of individuals who aren’t waiting until Nov. 8. Becky Martin, director of the Darke County Board of Elections, reported nearly 200 individuals in the county cast their votes on the first day they were able to do so. Voting in Ohio began on Oct. 12 and will continue until Nov. 8. Voters have a couple of options if they want to vote early. They can request an absentee ballot or they can come into the Darke County Board of Elections (BOE) office, 300 Garst Ave., Greenville. “There were three voters waiting when we arrived at the office,” said Martin. “By the end of the day, 169 people had voted.” In addition to welcoming voters into the elections office, the BOE mailed out 3,048 absentee ballots. They also received 79 absentee ballot requests, which were mailed the following day. Martin believes there will be a big voter turnout in the county this year. She expects to eclipse the 81.19 percent turnout in the last presidential election in 2012. She said, “With the media coverage the voters

are hearing, I believe we will see a steady increase up to the last day of early voting, which is Monday, Nov. 7, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.” The director explained early voting increased when “no fault voting” was implemented. However, she believes voter turnout is a direct result of the election itself, especially if there are “hot issues” that draw voters. In 2012, the local BOE processed 6,769 early voting requests, which includes in office, mail, nursing homes, military and overseas voters. The office processed nearly half that total this year on the first day of voting. Of those processed in 2012, 6,595 were returned to be counted. On Election Day in 2012, polling places had a 50.81 percent turnout and early voting was 27.04 percent. Provisional voters were 3.34 percent. Boards of Election across the state are required to maintain the same voting hours. Persons wanting to vote before Nov. 8 can do so in the BOE office on the following dates and times: Oct. 12-14, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Oct. 17-21, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Oct. 24-28, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Oct. 29, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Oct. 30; 1-5 p.m.; Oct. 31-Nov. 4, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Nov. 5, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Nov. 6, 1-5 p.m.; Nov. 7, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dates and times are also listed on the BOE’s website, www. electionsonthe.net/darke/. Polling places will be open on Nov. 8 from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.

UNION CITY, Ind. - For their annual community service project, the Union City High School National Honor Society (NHS) chapter elected to surprise a local woman in need with a home makeover this past week. NHS adviser Brad Hoggatt and the UC students chose to volunteer their time and effort in helping to makeover the yard and home of 1991 Union City graduate, Terresa Bradburn, who is currently suffering from the effects of both lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. Bradburn was diagnosed earlier this year and says she struggles physically and from fatigue, making it nearly impossible to take care of her property like she wants to. “We really are glad we could do this for Terresa,” Hoggatt told The Early Bird. “She is just not able to do this herself, so it really feels good to see all the students ready to help out someone who really needed it.” Other students and school staff assisted the NHS members with some much needed landscaping, general repairs and re-painted the entire home

over several days. Even though each of the kids gave up their own free time during the school’s fall break week, they had smiles on their faces and were eager to return each day to make a difference. “I’m overwhelmed and was not expecting all of this. When Brad (Hoggatt) told me they were going to give my house a makeover, I didn’t know what to think.” said Bradburn. “The kids did a great job and it looks beautiful. It really means a lot to me for everything they have done this week...and I just hope I can ﬁnd a way to pay it forward.”

To help offset the cost of materials, the club received donations from the community and even a past chapter member who saw the project on Facebook. After recently inducting 16 new members, the

Union City NHS chapter is the largest in the state of Indiana for a school of it’s size. To learn more about the National Honor Society visit the national website at www.nhs.us.

Edison State open house highlights ag program RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Darke and Mercer Counties are number one and two in agriculture so it would only make sense for at least one organization in the region to take the next step in securing the area’s future. Edison State Community College (ESCC) has recognized the need and announced it will be offering a two-year degree beginning in fall 2017. The announcement was made at an open house on Oct. 13 at the Darke County campus with local and state leaders including the Ohio Director of Agriculture David Daniels. Director Daniels said he was excited about what Edison State is going to

do for the young people in the community. “Agriculture is a growing business and it is going to continue to grow,” he said. “You are giving them an opportunity to train for an industry that there is never going to be an end to it,” he added. He believes the agricultural community will con-

tinually ﬁnd new uses and products for the things that are produced on the farm. “We have to learn to do it better, quicker. We have to use more technology. We have to use a lot of different tools that are at our disposal,” Daniels said. Daniels admits there is a need for people with four-

year degrees, but there is also a great need for technicians. According to the director, the U.S. Census Bureau has stated there will be 60,000 new jobs created in agriculture by the 2025. “Programs like this are going to be more and more important as we move forward.” Dr. Doreen Larson, president of ESCC, praised Chad Beanblossom, dean of the Darke County campus, for his foresight in bringing this program to ESCC. “It’s our time to celebrate the launching of a new program at the Darke County campus,” said Dr. Larson. She explained the ﬁrst agricultural classes were offered this fall and they expect to have the program fully approved by this time next year. It is programs such as this that are helping the local campus grow. The

Darke County campus currently accounts for nearly 20 percent of ESCC’s overall enrollment. Darryl Mehafﬁe, chairman of the ESCC board, explained this degree program will not only beneﬁt Darke County, but all of the surrounding counties will also be affected. State Representative Jim Buchy, a long-time champion of agriculture in the region and throughout the state, said, “This is special. Where we are in West Central Ohio, we are the number one producer of about 15 percent of total food production in the state, every year.” He added, “With this new program, we are going to continue to educate the good students here to continue on with that legacy to keep us number one in agriculture.” Brad Lentz, director of

the agriculture program at ESCC, said, “We are in the heart of agriculture here in Ohio. I’m hoping to give kids the opportunity to learn about agriculture. The ag industry is the largest industry in the state.” He pointed out this program will take students who took agricultural in high school to the next level. “It will be a notch up, a higher level. It will be kids that want to purse a degree in agriculture.” He believes this will be an affordable option for kids that want to go further in their education. He’s currently working with Ohio State, Wright State and a couple other colleges to make it easier for students who want to start at ESCC for two years and then move on to another college for their fouryear degree.

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT

Wanted man attempts to ďŹ&#x201A;ee from police WANTED PERSONS

On Oct. 11 an ofďŹ cer was dispatched to the 400 block of RifďŹ&#x201A;e Avenue in reference a report of a wanted suspect standing on the side of the road. Daniel Weaver was wanted for failure to appear on a charge of possession of a drug abuse instrument and had an active bench warrant from Greenville Police Department. When the ofďŹ cer located Weaver and told him he was under arrest, the suspect took off running. Weaver ran onto a porch in the 400 block of RifďŹ&#x201A;e Avenue running through the yard and towards the sidewalk. Three detectives had responded to the scene and surrounded Weaver, who lowered his head and rammed into one a detectiveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stomach, causing injury. Weaver lost balance and was taken by detectives to the ground while continuing to resist arrest. The ofďŹ cers were eventually able to restrain Weaver and place him in handcuffs. He was taken to the police cruiser where he was asked if he had contraband on his person. He admitted to having fentanyl and heroin in his pants pocket. The ofďŹ cer found a baggie containing a white powdery substance. Weaver was transported to the Darke County Jail where he was incarcerated on the warrant and

assault on an ofďŹ cer. The ofďŹ cer was transported to Wayne HealthCare Emergency for injuries he sustained while attempting to restrain Weaver. The case is being sent to the prosecutorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ ce for charges. On Oct. 7, an ofďŹ cer located Alicia Enis at an apartment on Martin Street in reference to an active bench warrant out of Darke County for failure to appear on an original charge of DUS. She was transported to the Darke County Jail where she was incarcerated on a $1,025 bond. DUI

On Oct. 8 an ofďŹ cer conducted a trafďŹ c stop on a vehicle on Warren Street near TifďŹ n Street for a headlight defect violation. The defendant, Donald Oliver who was the operator of the vehicle, showed signs of alcohol impairment. Oliver was asked to exit the vehicle and perform ďŹ eld sobriety tests, to which he agreed and did poorly on. Oliver was arrested for OVI and transported to the Greenville Police Department where he was later issued citations for an OVI and headlights violation, then released to a friend. VANDALISM

CCPI managers take a pie in the face to help former employee BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mangers from the Continental Carbonic Products, Inc. Greenville plant took a pie in the face Oct. 7 as part of an inner-ofďŹ ce fundraiser for a former employee, Mark Robbins, who is battling cancer. Robbins was with the company for nearly two years and left a big impact on all of his co-workers at the dry ice production plant. He had to leave his job with the plant after suffering from physical side effects from the cancer that left him unable to continue his duties as Safety Specialist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The absence of Mark has left a void in our CCPI family,â&#x20AC;? said Plant Manger, Rocky Harrison. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is a key component to the team and we have been truly blessed by him. His

presence at the plant is missed daily.â&#x20AC;? In April 2015, Robbins was diagnosed with prostate cancer and has been ďŹ ghting the disease ever since. Medical bills have surpassed $100,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; of which only a partial amount is being covered by insurance. Along with community fundraisers, the staff at CCPI have been raising money for Robbins for the last ďŹ ve weeks, collecting over $1,400 to

help Robbins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was such a wonderful gesture by everyone,â&#x20AC;? Robbins said about the CCPI staff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is something we always did when I worked hereâ&#x20AC;Ścame together when someone was in need. I continue to think of everyone here as my family and miss being here, that is for sure!â&#x20AC;? Robbins says he is feeling much better and is thankful for all of the hopes and prayers from everyone in the community.

OBITUARIES

Woodland students treated to dance party BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com GREEENVILLE – After reading nearly 3,000 books this summer, Woodland Primary students were treated to an outside dance party on what might be the last summer-like autumn day of the year. On Friday, Oct. 7, DJ Don Lochard provided the boogie tunes and led students in what may be their ﬁrst-ever line dance moves. From the Macarena to the Cha Cha Slide to the Chainsaw, the youngsters celebrated their skills in reading. Principal Jody Harter told her students how proud she was of their accomplishment. “It’s a huge celebration,” she said of the dance party, explaining that this year’s ﬁrstgraders earned the top spot, reading 843 books. “I challenge you to double that next year,” when this

year’s kindergartners will be going in to ﬁrst grade. “Read every night,” Harter told her students. The summer reading program is part of Kids Read Now, which was co-founded by Troy businessman Leib Lurie, who attended Friday’s celebration. Children registered for Kids Read Now last spring and receive free books by mail all summer long. “Read a book, get a book,” Lurie explained. Woodland Primary is currently the only Greenville school participating in Kids Read Now, but talks are being held with other grade levels, Lurie said. “Greenville is a very high performing district,” he said of the number of kindergarten through thirdgraders who participated. Five-year-old Lucy Castle was one of the dancers who also enjoys learning to read. Castle’s favorite part

about reading? “When my mom and dad read my books to me,” she said. Her favorite type of book to read? “Pop-up books,” she explained. All grade levels at Woodland were treated to a dance party on Friday. Children who completed

reading nine books earned a certiﬁcate and a drawstring tote with prizes inside. With the ﬁrst-graders reading the most books, second-grade came in with 2nd place by reading 742; third grade earned 3rd place with 731 books read and the kindergarten read 574 books.

GILL HAWK This past July, State of the Heart lost one of our own. Gill Hawk was a part of our family and is missed due to his character and positive impact he made on his co-workers as well as our patients and families. Gill was a nurse in our Care Center and was well known for his signature pony tail, many years of nursing experience throughout the community and ability to give himself to his patients and coworkers. Gill was a loving husband to his wife, Anita, father, grandfather, veteran and mentor. Gill loved to teach and taught at the end by donating his body to Wright State University. If ever there was an individual living out State of the Heart’s mission of “Care Without Limits,” it was Gill Hawk. He will forever be a part of our Care Center because he lives on in our hearts and our care we provide every day.

GREENVILLE – On Oct. 16, 2 p.m., Garst Museum will kick off its annual Speaker Series with a talk by outdoorsman Tom Petkewitz. He will speak about his new book, From Outdoors Past: A Journey Through Time and Select Territory. The book is a collection of photos and stories about fishing and hunting artifacts from the Western Ohio region. Petkewitz will bring copies of his books, which contains 238 photos, as well outdoor memorabilia and vintage photographs. A book signing will follow the talk. Petkewitz’s publisher, Whitefish Press, describes the book this way: “In this fantastic journey into our outdoor past, author and collector Tom Petkewitz gives us a pictorial essay on the fishing and hunting collectibles found in his own backyard.” This area includes Ohio’s Darke, Mercer, Auglaize, Miami, Shelby, Preble and Montgomery counties, as well as Randolph County, Indiana. A Dayton native, Petkewitz retired in 2000 from the prosecuting attorney’s

office in Miami County. He grew up hunting and fishing and later began collecting outdoor sports memorabilia. One day after lunch in Tipp City, Tom and his wife, Martha, went into an antique store. He was looking for some kind of knickknack to display on a bookshelf. When he came across a fishing lure, he was hooked. He and Martha have now spent years accumulating outdoor memorabilia. Martha has her own collection. Petkewitz emphasizes, “This is not a book about lures. It includes many kinds of artifacts, including old fishing and hunting licenses and vintage photos.” He attends many sports and antiques shows across the area. After a while, he organized photos of many of his collectibles in plastic pages that people could look through. At one of these shows a few years ago, a publisher approached Petkewitz and told him they wanted to publish a book with content similar to what he was showcasing in his display. After negotiations back and forth, he agreed to do the book, which came out in December. This is his first book, but Petkewitz has published many articles in magazines and journals. He wrote for the Darke County Profile and Country Anglin’ Outdoor Guide, as well as several other state and national publications. Admission to the lecture is free, but regular admission applies if you wish to tour the museum.

ON YOUR MIND

Parents reminded of new FAFSA date PITSBURG – The Franklin Monroe counseling office reminds seniors and their parents of the new FAFSA dates for 2016-2017. Traditionally, the first filing date for FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) has been Jan. 1. This year the FAFSA filing date has been moved to Oct. 1. The Franklin Monroe counseling office has information regarding the FAFSA for seniors and their parents. All of this information, however, is available on the FAFSA website. Students may find information on college majors and a good match for their interests and goals at StudentAid.gov/careersearch. Students and parents

may find a free scholarship search tool at StudentAid. gov/scholarships. Both students and parents are warned not to get scammed by websites that charge you money for scholarship searches since all that information is available for free. The FAFSA website advises, “As soon as possible after Oct. 1 release, complete and submit your Free Application for Federal Student aid at fafsa.gov along with any other financial aid applications your chosen school may require. You should submit your FAFSA by the earliest financial aid deadline of the schools to which you are applying, usually by early February.”

NAMI endorses Tri-County levy TROY – At its regular meeting October 11, the board of NAMI | Darke, Miami, and Shelby Counties adopted a resolution to endorse the Tri-County Mental Health & Recovery levy which will be on the ballot in those counties Nov. 8.

Focusing on National Preparedness Month National Day of Action for National Preparedness Month was recently held. U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) urges all Ohioans to use today as an opportunity to reﬂect and prepare for emergencies that might affect our communities. Now is a great time to think about your family’s emergency plan for winter storms. You can prepare an emergency supply kit for your car – jumper cables, a shovel, sand or cat litter for traction – and make a plan for your house, like ensuring water pipes are insulated to avoid freezing. Emergency preparedness goes beyond the cold of winter. Being prepared includes ensuring you and your family have a plan for everyday dangers like ﬁres. It is important to double-

check that your smoke detectors have working batteries and that you have fire extinguishers on hand. Creating a family emergency communication plan will ensure your loved ones have a designated place to meet during an emergency and know where in your house they can find a written list of all your emergency contacts and phone numbers. Planning for emergencies can be difficult. It’s scary to think about your family being in a dangerous situation but, by spending a few moments today creating a plan, you and your family will be best prepared to handle an emergency in the future.

Ensuring responsible driving, saving lives Drunk driving remains one of the top reasons for traffic fatalities in the nation JIM BUCHY OHIO and within REPRESENTATIVE our state. In 2013, 28.7 million people admitted to driving under the influence of alcohol, an alarming number that shows just how far reaching this issue is. It is clear that as a society we must find a better way to reduce drunk driving on our roadways. For that reason, the Ohio House has passed House Bill 388, also known as Annie’s Law. This legislation is aimed at eliminating

RICHMOND, Ind. – To give seniors better health insurance coverage at a lower cost—as well as access to Reid Health services and providers—Reid Health chose Health Alliance as its partner to provide Medicare Advantage plans for those 65 and older. “At Reid Health, part of our ‘right beside you’ promise means choosing a Medicare Advantage partner carefully and with our patients top of mind,” said Craig Kinyon, president/ CEO of Reid Health. “Partnering with Midwest-based Health Alliance helps us meet that promise.

Reckless Operation, often serves a six month or more license suspension in which they are only able to drive to work or school. According to the Transportation Research Board, anywhere from 50 to 75 percent of offenders continue to drive under the license suspension. An IID comes with a preconceived opinion within society, one that I believe should change. The IID is a win-win; a win for the safety of all Ohioans and a win for the DUI offender who needs to ensure that they can still get to where they need to be, 100 percent sober. Should the individual charged with a DUI opt for installing an IID, under HB 388 they

Annie’s Law, named after Ross County resident Annie Rooney who lost her life to a driver with multiple prior OVI offenses, allows individuals facing OVI charges to opt for an ignition interlock device rather than a driver’s license suspension. The ignition interlock device, or IID, requires the driver to pass a breathalyzer in order to start their car engine, ensuring that the individual is completely sober before getting behind the wheel.

Most people with Medicare living in Fayette, Randolph and Union counties in Indiana and Preble and Darke counties in Ohio have until Dec. 7 to choose their 2017 Medicare Advantage coverage. “We are proud to offer Medicare Advantage in this region to give seniors a new alternative,” said James C. Leonard, M.D., president and CEO of Health Alliance and Carle health system. “Health Alliance partners with providers like Reid Health who are equally committed to quality of care and understand collaboration among providers, patients and the health plan can achieve the best health outcomes for each member. Medicare Advantage plans, also called Part C plans, take the place of Original Medicare. They combine Part A (hospital), Part B (doctor’s office) and Part D (prescription) into one easy package.

would have unlimited driving privileges to take their child to daycare or go to the store to buy food for the family. Make no mistake; this is not a piece of legislation that is soft on crime. Annie’s Law will prevent these DUI offenders from being able to get behind the wheel of their car intoxicated, and will also ensure that the offender is not tempted to violate their suspension. I was proud to vote in favor of Annie’s Law because I believe it will go a long way to making our western Ohio roadways much safer.

Wave varsity boys shutout Springﬁeld soccer team on Senior Night GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Green Wave varsity boys soccer team defeated the visiting Springﬁeld Wildcats 1-0 on senior night at Harmon Field. “They played well… just didn’t hold their shape real well tonight,” said Greenville Coach Mark Coppess. “Didn’t move the ball well but they played hard and they kept them out on

defense.” “Springﬁeld had a couple really fast guys,” added Coppess. “I thought they played really well. Hats off to them for what they did.” Wearing the Wave uniform for their ﬁnal home match were seniors; No. 2 Dalton Walls, No. 3 Austin Grote, No. 5 Mac Kirk, No. 6 AJ Frens (Captain), No. 7 Folger Pyles, No. 14 Josh Smith (Captain) and No. 15 Jack Garland. The Greenville boys

would get the only goal of the night with exactly 20:00 showing on the ﬁrst half clock as sophomore forward Ethan Saylor found the back of the net. “That was it,” Coppess remarked of the lone Wave’ goal. “Shots ended up 16-5 (Waves’ favor) and we worked way too hard, but we come away with a win and a win is a win so we’ll take it.” A stingy Green Wave defense would keep the Wildcats off the board

for 80 minutes of play to secure the win and shutout on senior night in Greenville. “Every game,” Coppess said of his team playing to the competitions level. “Piqua was that way, this one was that way, Lehman Catholic was that way, Newton was that way…every game.” “The better the team that we play, the better we play,” Coppess said. “Ready for tourna- Ethan Saylor scores the Wave’s lone goal in win over Springﬁeld (Gaylen Blosser photo) ment.”

We’re going to have to try to keep it going at least for another week.” MV took an early game one 10-5 lead before the Lady Roaders battle back to make it a 12-9 score.

The Lady Railroaders found their stride taking the visitors to the wire in set three in a game that had Bradford jumping out to a 5-0 advantage before MV would charge back to tie the score at 11-11…the first of 10 ties with the final coming at 24-24. The Lady Hawks scored the final two points of the night to win set three by a 26-24 score. “The second one you win 25-11 and then you go out and win 26-24,” said Hunt. “I don’t know what happened that third one. I was not happy with it.” “We obviously had good points on the night in the beginning, but by the end we were just…‘we don’t have to try that hard’…so we didn’t,” added Hunt. “Last year if we had a game like tonight we would have fallen apart,” Armstrong noted. “This year they held their heads up and kept working. They got stronger as it got harder. I am very proud of them.”

GREENVILLE - The Greenville 7th and 8th grade volleyball teams hosted Vandalia-Morton Wednesday afternoon in what was not only the ďŹ nal match of the season, but the ďŹ nal match ever at the old Greenville Junior High School (GJHS) building. Greenville set the tempo early for what would turnout to be a great performance by both teams. The seventh-graders took both of their games to the wire...winning the ďŹ rst set 27-25 and took the match with a 31-29 back-and-forth battle in set two. With the win, the team ďŹ nished the season with an impressive 12-4 record. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have really come together as a team,â&#x20AC;? Greenville 7th grade coach Kandee Combs said about the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have gotten better every game... from setting, to hitting and serving.â&#x20AC;? The 8th grade team found themselves in a hole early - losing the ďŹ rst set 25-11. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were just not communicating well in that ďŹ rst game,â&#x20AC;? said GJHS 8th grade coach Abby Thatcher. Fortunately, the Lady Wave were able to come together in game two... taking a 25-14 win to send the match into a deciding

game three. Key serves and teamwork boosted the Lady Wave to a 25-17 win in the ďŹ nal set to take the match 2-1 over Morton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Serve, serve, serve... thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the name of the game and we had some good serves to help us win,â&#x20AC;? explained Coach Thatcher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls have really worked hard all season and ending with an 11-5 record is outstanding!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was an amazing night overall for Greenville volleyball,â&#x20AC;? added Coach Combs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was the last home game in the old junior high building, which really added to the pressure.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;For both teams to get wins in the last time on this court was a great way to say goodbye,â&#x20AC;? said Thatcher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kandee and I have coached here now for ďŹ ve years and look forward to starting a new journey next

season in a new gym.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Greenville Jr. High School facility has helped create many memories for the entire community over the years,â&#x20AC;? stated Greenville Superintendent Doug Fries- who was in attendance at Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ nal match. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We salute the the volleyball program on an outstanding season. It was great for them to win their ďŹ nal game in the junior high facility, and at the same time we are looking forward to opening up our new complex and continuing the great tradition of Greenville academics and athletics.â&#x20AC;? Both GJHS teams will compete in the GWOC Tournament on Saturday the 7th grade will battle a tough Centerville team in the opening round, while the 8th grade faces Miamisburg to begin tourney play.

Darke County Girls Fall Basketball League a success BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

VERSAILLES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The third Annual Darke County Girls Fall Basketball League; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ballinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the Fallâ&#x20AC;? saw 56 high school girls take to the Versailles High School basketball court while 32 junior high girls played at the Greenville High School gymnasium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For some its offseason and they just want to work on their game a little bit before the regular season starts,â&#x20AC;? said Versailles varsity girls basketball coach Jacki Stonebraker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice way to get a jumpstart on the season.â&#x20AC;? The league is designed to encourage girls to love the game of basketball while improving their skills and preparing them for competitive play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had girls ranging from Miami East to Versailles to National Trail, Tri-Village, Greenville, Minster, Fort Loramie, St. Henry, Botkins, Sidneyâ&#x20AC;Ś so a lot of area schools,â&#x20AC;? noted Stonebraker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls got to come in and play before the season starts and kinda get in that basketball shape a little bit,â&#x20AC;? said Greenville varsity girls basketball coach Rachael Kerns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just work on their skills going into the basketball season.â&#x20AC;? Each team was made up of 8-10 girls with a limit of two girls from the same school per team according to OHSAA (Ohio High School Athletic Association) rules. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neat to see them forming a new - different team,â&#x20AC;? Stonebraker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;re really starting to gel together as you see the weeks go by.â&#x20AC;? The league is not a time

of teaching, but one that allows girls to have fun while getting a jumpstart on their regular season, meet new friends and play competitive basketball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were really excited to see the progress the girls made,â&#x20AC;? Kerns noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can tell the girls that were eighth grade vs the girls that were in seventh gradeâ&#x20AC;Śtheir conďŹ dence out on the court.â&#x20AC;? The league was run by coaches from both the Versailles and Greenville girls basketball programs.

Library Film Series features The Birds GREENVILE – The Birds (1963) is perhaps the strangest film Alfred Hitchcock ever made, or at least the most unlikely. Though the film’s tension comes more from suspense than horror, placing the narrative in the British director’s wheelhouse, it’s still an odd choice for Hitchcock. While it’s not the only quasi-horror film he ever made (Psycho has to be counted there), it is the only film he ever made where the threat didn’t come from another human being. In this case, it came from birds. Near the end of his career, when he was entrenched as one of the greatest directors in the world, he decided to make a B-movie creature feature.

The Birds tells the story of a small coastal town in California where the local avian residents stop acting like birds and start acting like murderous monsters. The story follows Melanie Daniels (Tippi Hedren), Mitch Brenner (Rod Taylor), and a few hangers-on (Jessica Tandy is excellent as Mitch’s chilly mother) as they try to escape the aerial attack of feathered nightmares. Join them on Oct. 20, at 7 p.m., for this fun (and frightening) movie. It’s the perfect ﬁlm for an October night. David Nilsen will be leading a brief discussion after the movie, and, as always, there will be free theater popcorn, candy, coffee, and Jones Soda. They hope to see you there.

BRADFORD – The Bradford Public Library is invited vendors of homemade items or baked good to their Holiday Craft Show. The show will be held for the New Friends of the Bradford Ohio Public Library on Nov. 5, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. with setup on Saturday at 9 a.m. If you would like to be part of this event, call Carolyn Smith at 448-2285, 670-2590 or the library at 448-2612.

The remembrance gathering is for anyone who has lost a loved one; a person need not have had any connection with hospice care. The ceremony is special in that it draws so many people together who have a common bond: they are together and they are remembering a loved one. During the gathering ceremony there will be special music, scripture readings, and words of sharing. Staff, friends, and family members will also remember their loved one by lighting a candle in their honor. The Remembrance Gathering is a wonderful way to remember a loved one, particularly at the holiday time when a person typically reminisces about times gone by. It is also a time to acknowledge how much they miss that person. For more information about the Remembrance Gathering, contact their Bereavement team at 1-800417-7535. There is no need for reservations. Visit the agency website at www. stateoftheheartcare.org.

SOHC celebrates Music Therapy Month GREENVILLE – Music therapists all over the state of Ohio are celebrating this month to spread awareness about the field of music therapy. According to the American Music Therapy Association, Music Therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program. Music therapists are required to complete 1200 hours of clinical training including completing a degree program, a supervised internship, and passing a board certification examination to earn the MT-BC credential. Ohio boasts the fifth highest number of board certified music therapists in the United States. Music therapists in Ohio work with clients of all ages in a variety of settings including schools, therapy centers, hospitals, nursing homes, early intervention

facilities, mental health facilities, group homes, hospice care, rehabilitation, private practice, and in client’s homes. Ohio music therapists are currently seeking the creation of a music therapy license at the state level through House Bill 184. The creation of a music therapy license through state recognition of the music therapy profession will help ensure that consumers in our state have access to music therapy services provided by a qualiﬁed practitioner. It will serve to both protect the public and increase their ability to choose and access healthcare services

Arsenic & Old Lace presented at Edison Union City dance will honor veterans UNION CITY – The Union City Chamber of Commerce will host a celebration of dance to honor veterans at 7 p.m. on Oct. 22 at the Union City Community High School cafetorium. Part of the proceeds will go to The Journey Home, a residential veterans’ facility in Winchester and part will go to PAWS. There will be a slide show tribute to local veterans, as well as table exhibits of military items. Jan Aukerman, who is organizing the event, invites anyone who wants to honor a speciﬁc veteran during the event to bring photos and memorabilia for the table display. Aukerman and his partner Becky Dirksen have won three United Country Western Dance Council world championships. He says, “Becky and I have met many talented and wonderful people in our 20 years of competitive dancing, and some of those people are coming to dance for this event. This salute to veterans is a chance for people to see great talent without traveling to a big city.”

Jan Aukerman and Becky Dirksen, three-time champions in the United Country Western Dance Council competitions, will be performing at a special “Dancing with the Stars” at 7 p.m., Saturday, October 22 at Union City High School.

The dance teams from Mississinawa Valley and Union City High School will also be performing. Tickets ($10) may be purchased at First Merchants Bank (Susie Norton), Pizza Hut (Ron Pruitt) Kaups Pharmacy (Denise Beam), Didier Hardware (Mark Didier), Christian Book Store (Amanda Jones), Main Source Bank (Susan), or at the door.

Edison State brings Wecksell to campus PIQUA – Edison State Community College brings comedian and singer– songwriter, Evan Wecksell to the Piqua Campus on Oct. 20 at noon in the Cafeteria. This side–splitting performance is open to the community and is being offered free of charge. Often compared to comedic superstars Adam Sandler and Stephen Lynch, Evan’s act is a blend of comedy and music that celebrates the college experience, endorses Internet addiction, and lampoons bad music. Evan has been noted as one of the funniest and most energetic performers to emerge from New York’s comedy clubs and musical venues. Evan has made a series of appearances on TBS’ Conan, was named a “Hot Comedy Act” by Campus Activities Magazine and has emerged on radio stations across the globe. Evan is also recognizable from his appearances on such pop-culture shows as VH1’s “I Love the 80s” and E! Television’s “30 Most Outrageous Celebrity

FM BOE meeting

PITSBURG – The Franklin Monroe Local Board of Education’s regular meeting has been rescheduled to Oct. 19, 8 p.m., in the Board Conference Room.

PIQUA – The Edison Stagelight Players (ESP) will present Arsenic & Old Lace by Joseph Kesselring and directed by Emily Beisner. The performances will be held Oct. 28 through Nov. 6 in the Robinson Theater at Edison State Community College’s Piqua Campus. Arsenic & Old Lace revolves around the Brewster family, which is bursting with charming and eccentric - albeit homicidal - characters. The main character, Mortimer Brewster, is a drama critic whose two spinster aunts, Abby and Martha, have an unusual hobby - they poison lonely men with arsenic laced elderberry wine. In addition to his lunatic aunts, one of Mortimer’s brothers thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt and another murderous brother, Jonathan, is on the run from the law, and all are getting in the way of Mortimer’s plans to marry, Elaine, the woman he loves. ESP newcomer Michael Detrick of Versailles will play the lead role of Mortimer Brewster. The two aunts, Abby and Martha will be played by Bridget Collins and Rebecca Ritz, both of Piqua. Teddy “Roosevelt” Brewster will be played by ESP veteran Chris Garner from Piqua. Another

Greenville shows more ‘Goodwill’

GREENVILLE – Off the football field, Greenville High School beat Piqua High School and earned a $300 scholarship to become the new season leader in last week’s Goodwill Stores Drive to Victory competition. Drive to Victory is a friendly competition each week between two local high schools that battle off the field in a donation drive benefiting Goodwill Easter Seals Miami Valley. Greenville High School collected 8,540 pounds of donations and Piqua High School collected 3,300 pounds of donations. These items will be sold in Goodwill Stores with proceeds supporting the mission of helping people with disabilities and other needs here in the community. Since 2007, the Goodwill Stores Drive to Victory campaign has generated more than one million pounds of clothing and household items along with more than 70 vehicles from around the Miami Valley. At the conclusion of the season the school that has collected the most weight during their Drive the Victory week will receive an additional $700 scholarship. For more information, visit the website at gesmv. org.

newcomer to ESP is Matthew Cline from Arcanum, who will portray Jonathan Brewster. Director Emily Beisner is enthusiastic about producing this unique play. “It’s been a great pleasure getting into the director’s chair again and working with new and returning faces.” “This production has been the most challenging,

for the actors and myself, in regards to timing. A very conversational play, there is a lot of talking. But that’s what makes it a classic in the comedy genre, with many comedic quips in the dialogue.” Performances will be held October 28, 29, Nov. 4, and 5 at 7:30 p.m. each night. A special matinee performance will be held on

Nov. 6 at 3:30 p.m. Tickets for the show are $7 for adults, $5 for students, and $3 for seniors and are available for purchase with cash at the door. Children under ﬁve are not permitted into the theater during the performance. For more information, contact Karen Baker at 937-381-1502 or kbaker@edisonohio.edu.

Versailles FFA fruit sale has begun VERSAILLES – The Versailles FFA fruit sales will run through Nov. 14. The Versailles FFA will be purchasing their fruit and nuts from Florida Farm Bureau, their meat and cheese from Pearl Valley Cheese and Ohio Signature Beef, and their Barbeque sauce from B.D. Yummers. All the fruit items are sold in full boxes, half boxes and fourth boxes. They are re-

quiring all orders to be prepaid. They will not be selling tangelos this year due to a Greening Disease that is taking place in Florida, which is why the pink grapefruit will come from Texas and the navels from California. They have replaced the Tangelos with Tangerines in which they are guaranteed a quality product with the tangerines. Tangerines are similar to tangelos, except tangerines are

easier to peel and separate. They taste similar to Mandarin Oranges and Cuties, but larger in size than a cutie. If you have any questions or would like to purchase any product, contact any Versailles FFA Member, or call the Ag Department at 526-4427 and ask for Mrs. Wuebker or email her at dena_wuebker@darke.k12. oh.us. Orders will be taken beginning Oct. 13.

Greenville FD hosts successful ﬁre safety open house CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Fire Department hosted another open house Sunday at the station. The event, held every two years during Fire Safety & Prevention Week, is to teach the public about fire safety and the show some daily operations around the department. Children enjoyed several different activities with the firefighters, including putting out fires with an extinguisher and even a fire hose. Kids got to see the department’s aerial ladder elevate high above most buildings in the city and climb up inside a fire engine. Donated pizza, drinks, cookies and popcorm were available free to everyone who attended. As a special treat, the children hung out with the Dalmation Duo of Rage and Rocko, who came with Alan Keaser, Chris Norris and Rilee Norris, spreading the word about fire safety. The Greenville fire dog Sparky and Scoop from The Early Bird was at the station to

greet the kids too. According to Chief Russ Thompson and Capt. Shawn Brandenburg, this was one of the most well attended open houses in recent memory for the department. “The Greenville City Fire Department would like to thank the following people that helped make our Open House on Oct. 9 a big success – Allen Keaser, Chris Norris and Rilee Norris for bringing Rage & Rocko and helping spread the word about fire safety. Thank You Clint Randall, Chelsea Randall, The Early Bird and mascot Scoop for bringing Little Caesars pizzas and for all the great pictures. Thank you to Rural King for donating the popcorn, bags and oil. To North Towne McDonalds for your donation of the Orange drink and cups and Domino’s for the donation of gift certificates, battery operated tea lights, smoke detectors and fire extinguishers. Finally, to all the public that attended our open house, it was a pleasure talking with each of you and showing you our day to day operations.”

NMPL collects memories NEW MADISON – The Friends of New Madison Public Library are compiling entries for Tapestries of New Madison Public Library, a publication planned for autumn 2017. Tapestries will include a history of the library, photos of each of the locations, snapshots of past library events, and favorite recipes from the current staff, Friends members, and trustees. The Friends encourage others to submit memories and photos of the li-

brary as well as a favorite recipe. The group plans to sell Tapestries for the 2017 holiday season. Submissions for Tapestries can be dropped off at NMPL or emailed to brenda@newmadisonpubliclibrary.org. The Friends of NMPL raises money throughout the year to support and enhance the mission of the library by funding programming and special projects. Join for only $2 a year and help to support NMPL. Call 996-1741 for more information.

GREENVILLE – Although Donna Schultz of Greenville has attended the Darke County Health Fair for several years, Tuesday’s 42nd annual event was her first time in a massage chair. “She’s finding all the sore spots,” Schultz said of Diane Crawford, a licensed massage therapist with Touch of Heart and a nurse. “I always wanted to know what it feels like to have a massage.” Crawford assured Schultz that she was only getting a “teaser” of what it feels like to have a massage during the health fair. The health benefits of getting a massage, said Michele Acker, director of Wilson’s cardiopulmonary department, are many. “They include relaxation and it also helps get the blood flowing to your muscles,” said Acker, who also serves on the Health Fair committee. “People can carry stress in different places in their bodies, for example their back or hips.” Not only were those attending the health fair able to try out a massage, several came to take advantage of a number of health screenings – many which were free at a fraction of

the cost of normal lab testing fees. “I’ve had two or three people tell me the health fair saved their lives,” said Kelly Sanning, a Darke County Health Fair Committee member and lab tech at Wayne HealthCare. Sanning explained how lab tests taken at previous health fairs helped diagnose illnesses such as prostate cancer, anemia or diabetes in patients she’s spoken with. “It’s really amazing,” Sanning said of the services offered to the community. Those who took advantage of health screenings on Tuesday will receive their results in the mail, Sanning explained. They can then make a copy to take to their physician. Several community organizations participated in the 2016 health fair, with displays focused on the theme “Be Well at Any Age.” From the county’s WIC (Women, Infants and Childrens) program promoting several health-related issues pertaining to expectant moms and young children, to displays by several assisted living and long-term care facilities, visitors to the fair were able to pick up pamphlets, freebies, door prizes and other information to help them make positive health

choices. The Breast Cancer Awareness of Darke County display provided information about Wilson’s 3-D mammography testing – SenoClaire digital imaging – allowing physicians to see more and ﬁnd the earliest signs of cancer. “We’re excited to have the 3-D imaging,” said Heather Kremer, with Wayne outpatient services and the hospital’s oncology department. “We don’t want people to think they have to leave Darke County to get the latest,” in mammography technology, Kremer said. Next year’s health fair will include a walk-through breast, Kremer said, similar to this year’s colon. Providing objects like

the walk-through colon and breast, Kremer added, assists local healthcare professionals to “get the word out” about lifesaving screenings. “Those over 50 or with a family history of colon cancer,” she explained, “should go for a screening.” One day of prepping for a colonoscopy is better than dealing with several days of chemotherapy treatments, Kremer said, adding that polyps can be removed during the screening process. The health fair was held at the Darke County Fairgrounds Youth Building. According to Sanning, organizers planned for between 600 and 800 people to attend the day-long event.

Whirlpool hosts area students for Manufacturing Day SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – TriVillage sophomores got a sneak peek at what it would be like to work in the manufacturing field on Friday, Oct. 7. Thanks to Whirlpool’s KitchenAid plant in Greenville, the students attended a tour and open house presentation as part of the 2016 National Manufacturing Day, held every year on the first Friday of October across the nation. The goal of Manufacturing Day is to invite young people to understand the potential careers available in the manufacturing as technologies become more advanced and the need for innovative home solutions increase, explains Juliet Johnson, manager of Whirlpool’s media and public relations at corporate communications in Benton Harbor, Mich. “I’ve actually thought about a career in engineering,” said Grace Moore, 16. Moore’s favorite subject is science, which would fit right in with a variety of career opportunities at Whirlpool. “My brother used to work here. It was interesting to learn about the things he did,” Moore said. Fellow sophomore Natasha Weimer said she found the robotics being used to build KitchenAid mixers “interesting. I found it all really interesting, to see how the things we use in our kitchen every

day are made.” Students were divided into groups to take a tour of the KitchenAid manufacturing plant, learning that even though today nearly 60 robots are used in the manufacturing process, they aren’t taking the place of qualiﬁed employees. “We still need employees to program and run the robots,” explained Ken Hossler, plant leader. Today, robots are used in several processes at Kitchen Aid, including painting, grinding and sanding, picking and placement of parts and loading and unloading of equipment, Hossler said. Hossler also spoke with students about how he became employed with Whirlpool the summer he graduated high school – in 1986. A summer job led to full time work, with Hossler taking college courses around his schedule to obtain his degree, which the company helped pay for. He’s worked at three of Whirlpool’s Ohio locations, coming to Greenville four years ago. Hossler also shared with students three criteria needed for a summer job at KitchenAid to turn into a full time opportunity - attendance and being on time; having a good work ethic; and being a good team member. “We have many opportunities here. After one year, we start paying for your college,” he explained. Although many think

work at a plant like KitchenAid would involve strictly production line opportunities, students learned Friday there are a variety of jobs available in the manufacturing ﬁeld, from administration to robotics, to paint technicians to supply chain management. Students also were treated to a brief history lesson, learning that the KitchenAid mixer was started in 1919 by the Hobart Corporation. “It started in a garage, making four per day,” explained Scott Hartings, senior manager. “They sold them door-to-door

for $298,” Hartings said, which today could be compared to $2,700. In 1943, the government asked the company to stop making mixers and use their equipment to manufacture shell casings for guns. Today, Whirlpool ships two million mixers all over the world – all manufactured in Greenville. In 2012, the company’s hand mixer came back to Greenville from China, Hossler said, noting that only 300,000 hand mixers were built per year in China, but today more than one million are produced yearly in Greenville.

Time to check your home’s fire and CO detectors this month BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – Although Daylight Saving Time won’t begin until Nov. 6, local fire department officials are urging residents to check and change batteries in smoke and CO detectors now.

October is Fire Safety Month – a good time to make sure your home and family are safe. Daylight Saving Time used to be six months apart, explained Capt. Kevin Subler of the Greenville Fire Department. “Spring forward” has been moved to March,

with “fall back” taking place in November, so “that makes it a little harder to remember,” Subler said. Greenville residents who qualify may be able to get free smoke or CO detectors installed by fire department personnel, Subler said. “They come apply at the fire department and the shift officer will assign someone to come to their home to install the detector and make sure it is working,” Subler explained. Smoke alarms should be installed on every level of your home, for example, in the kitchen, a hallway leading to bedrooms and in basements. Homeowners also should invest in fire extinguishers and learn how to use them in case of emergencies. According to the Occupational, Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) website, most handheld smoke detec-

tors use the PASS technique: Pull - Pull the pin. This will also break the tamper seal. Aim - Aim low, pointing the extinguisher nozzle (or its horn or hose) at the base of the fire. Squeeze - Squeeze the handle to release the extinguishing agent. Sweep - Sweep from side to side at the base of the fire until it appears to be out. Watch the area. If the fire re-ignites, repeat steps 2-4. Subler said the Greenville Fire Department already has had several calls this fall, especially about carbon monoxide detectors alerting residents there were problems. “They save lives,” Sub-

ler said. “I can tell you that. We’ve had the most calls in my 16 years about CO. We’ve had true incidents, a bunch of them already and we haven’t even kicked on all the furnaces for the most part.” Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas that is toxic to humans and pets. Every home with at least one fuel burning appliance, heater and/or connected garage should have a carbon monoxide alarm. Subler said problems with

the improper burning of fuel and improper ventilation, especially with gas water heaters, have been found in Greenville. Relying on a smoke detector, “that goes without saying,” Subler said. “You cannot emphasize enough how important they are. But if you trust your life in the hands of a smoke detector, you better be trusting your life in the hands of a carbon monoxide detector. I cannot emphasize that enough.”

Driveway maintenance Though they are often easy to overlook, driveways are durable parts of a home that can greatly impact a home’s curb appeal. Driveways endure quite a bit of wear and tear over their lifespans, and homeowners who have not given their driveways much thought may want to start looking for potential trouble signs that indicate a need for some driveway maintenance. According to the online home improvement resource HomeAdvisor. com, the average cost of a driveway installation in 2015 was just under $3,700. Damaged driveways do not necessarily need to be replaced, as some may just need minor repairs, but homeowners who see any of the following trouble signs in their driveways may want to consult a professional contractor. 1. Potholes that are not ﬁxed may damage vehicles that drive on the pavement, and potholes may even expand over time. 2. Accumulation of water - When water is not absorbed into the ground or directed away from your home, it can then ﬂow into the house, potentially making your garage or home susceptible to water damage. 3. Cracks - Some cracks may prove less problematic than others, but homeowners should still speak with a contractor if they notice their driveway is starting to succumb to cracks.

Switch to LED bulbs It may seem like a small detail, but the way you light your home can have a big impact on the environment and your energy bills. Indeed, widespread use of light-emitting diode (LED) lighting has the greatest potential impact on energy savings in the United States, according to government ﬁndings. Using at least 75 percent less energy and lasting 25 times longer than incandescent lighting, residential LEDs, especially ENERGY STAR-rated products, can help you signiﬁcantly reduce the cost

of lighting your home. And this is truer than ever, as the price of this technology has declined and the uses for it have expanded. Community efforts are helping to make sweeping change and brighten lives. Swapping out traditional bulbs for energyefﬁcient alternatives is a simple home project that requires no special skills or tools, just a commitment to lowering one’s carbon footprint. Take an afternoon to make this simple swap that promises to have a long-lasting and major impact.

Decorative concrete one option to spruce up your home BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Looking for a way to spruce up your concrete sidewalk, driveway or patio? Decorative stains, stamped concrete or concrete overlays installed over existing concrete may be the answer you’re looking for. Greenville’s Wayne Builders, 5410 State Route 49, offers a variety of materials and products for do-it-yourselfers as well as for contractors working on new build or remodeling projects. “We supply the materials,” said Luke Miller, who has 13 years of experience working with decorative concrete products and projects. “We have many styles of stamps, forms and colors for sidewalks, driveways, patios and we also offer the stamped overlay materials and stains,” Miller said. Also becoming popular

are concrete countertops, Miller said, a project which involves a “lot of labor” so costs are comparable with granite. “What it comes down to is ﬁnding someone who wants to work with concrete and install it,” Miller explained. “We have tons of different colors, with most projects using two tones,” he noted. Homeowners who want to consider decorative concrete for the exterior or interior of their home can get up to speed about what’s available, Miller said, by checking out the website www.butterﬁeldcolor.com. “A good thing for them to do,” Miller said of a homeowner, “is to come in or send their contractor in here and we can help them with the design. They can bring a picture in of the area and we can work together to plan the project.” Wayne Builders also of-

Improve circulation of air in your home Upon the arrival of winter, people in regions where winter is marked by cold weather tend to spend significantly more time indoors. Because windows tend to be closed during winter, indoor air quality can suffer, making conditions inside a home less than desirable. According to the American Lung Association, poor air circulation in a home can promote the spread of bacteria and viruses. Once such bacteria or viruses are inhaled, coughs, colds and flu can spread. In addition, asthma and allergy sufferers may experience worsening symptoms thanks to the presence of endotoxins, which are substances that come from the broken-down cells of dead bacteria. Because many people spend significantly more time indoors during winter than other times of the year, it’s essential that they take measures to improve indoor air quality in the months ahead. Cut back on chemicals. It’s ideal to avoid heavy chemical usage inside a home throughout the year, but it’s especially important to do so during win-

ter. Solvent-based cleaners or cleaning products with strong fragrances can negatively affect indoor air quality and potentially trigger allergic reactions. In lieu of chemically-enhanced cleaning products, use natural products that get the job done without sacriﬁcing indoor air quality. Stop smoking indoors. Tobacco smoke can affect smokers and nonsmokers alike. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention note that secondhand smoke causes numerous health problems in infants and children. Those include more frequent and severe asthma attacks and respiratory infections. In addition, reports from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have linked secondhand smoke

to an increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome. Adults exposed to secondhand smoke are at greater risk for coronary heart disease, stroke and lung cancer. Tobacco smoke contains thousands of pollutants that can greatly diminish indoor air quality, so make sure smokers limit their smoking to outside the home throughout the year, but especially during winter. Take off your shoes when entering the home. Snowy conditions often require a home’s inhabitants and guests to remove their footwear upon entering a home, but it helps to remove footwear in a mudroom or just inside the front door when entering a home even when it’s not snowing. Shoes can pick up dirt, dust and a host of

other particles during winter, and if tracked inside those unwanted guests can negatively affect indoor air quality. Routinely inspect bathrooms for mold. During winter, mold can grow in rooms that are exposed to moisture but not properly ventilated. In many homes, that’s the bathroom. Even if a bathroom has a ventilation fan, routinely inspect the ceiling and shower for mold growth. Exposure to mold can cause a host of negative side effects, including nasal and sinus congestion and sore throat. Mold also can exacerbate asthma symptoms. Improving and maintaining indoor air quality in winter can help a home’s inhabitants stay healthy during the colder months.

Moving may cost you more than you realize COLUMBUS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ohioans are on the move. According to the Ohio Credit Union Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Quarterly Performance Summary (2nd Quarter, 2016), ďŹ rstmortgage originations at Ohio credit unions grew 26.4 percent from June 2015 to June 2016. And, 26 percent of Ohioans plan to move within the next two years, according to a 2016 Mid-Year Consumer Survey, conducted by the Ohio Credit Union League. But what happens once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve

found a new home and are beginning the process of moving? Everything seems to be falling into place when the expenses of the move itself begin to surface. Forty-three percent of Mid-Year Consumer Survey respondents said the biggest moving expense is paying movers, 15 percent said time off work, another 15 percent said renting moving equipment, and 8 percent said connecting new utilities is the biggest moving expense.

for consumers to become educated about the various costs associated with a move in order to know their ďŹ nancial options. Whether a potential mover needs ďŹ nancial advice or a shortterm loan to help with moving expenses, a credit union can help. According to the American Moving & Storage Association, the average cost

of an intrastate move in 2015 was $1,170 and the average cost for between states was $5,630. The cost is based on a load size of 7,100 pounds. Apart from just having a cushion of extra funds for unexpected expenses, here are a few helpful tips for staying organized and keeping moving costs low. Tips to cut moving

costs: * Plan ahead: Hiring professional movers is likely one of the largest moving expenses and an accurate estimation of these expenses ahead of time will eliminate any ďŹ nancial surprises. Using sites such as MyMovingReviews.com allow you to approximate your moving costs and compare local moving companies. * Insure your belongings: Avoid costly damages to your possessions by insuring your belongings and checking licenses and insurance of the moving company you choose. * Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy boxes: Instead of purchasing boxes and packaging materials, visit local grocery stores, packaging facilities, and warehouses for boxes. You can also use clothes, linens,

DCP Summer Camps a hit with local youth Humane Society’s fair winners announced

GREENVILLE – This summer the Darke County Park District offered 10 different summer camps for local youth from as young as six up to 15-years old. Some of the highlights from the seven, week-long camps included going zip-lining with the “Adventure Zone” camp, competing in water Olympics with the “Splish Splash” camp, and learning to cook over an open fire during the “Frontier Survival” camp.

GREENVILLE – As the 2016 Great Darke County Fair came to an end, the Darke County Humane Society pulled the two winners of the fair raffle at PAWS Bingo Hall on Aug 31. First Place Winner, Jan Vogt, won the Coleman Rolling Cooler and Blue Rhino Tailgate Grill. Second Place Winner, Diana Barr, won the Kobalt Tool Box filled with tools.

GREENVILLE – The butterfly habitat is declining, and scientists need to monitor their populations very closely. Every Friday at 2 p.m. through the end of October, join a naturalist to hike a pre-set path and record all the butterflies observed. These numbers will then be sent on to the Ohio Lepidopterists for scientific study. There’s no need to be an expert. A staff member will be present for the hike, and field guides will be provided. Hikes will occur as long as temperatures are above 60 degrees without rain. For more information, contact the Nature Center at 548-0165 or email info@darkecountyparks. org.

DCCA’s Family Theatre Series is sponsored by Dayton Power & Light Company Foundation, Second National Bank, Greenville Federal, Greyson James Steyer Fund of the Darke County Foundation, Edison State Community College, Gordon Orthodontics, Jordan Insurance Agency, The Andersons Inc., Wayne Healthcare, and Greenville Rotary Club. The series also receives support from DCCA memberships and the Jean Louise Thieme Fund of the Darke County Foundation. The Ohio Arts Council, Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial, Ketrow Foundation, and Lydia Schaurer Memorial also provide operating support for DCCA. Tickets for Chicken Dance are $5, and can be reserved by con-

tacting DCCA at 5470908 or dcca@centerforarts.net or purchased on-line at www.centerforarts.net. Tickets are also available at the Greenville Public Library, Readmore’s Hallmark in Greenville, and Worch Memorial Public Library in Versailles.
