National School Bus Safety Week kicks off Monday CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The annual National School Bus Safety Week will be observed Monday, Oct. 19 through Friday, Oct. 24. The annual program focuses on the push to address the importance of school bus safety by educating parents, students, teachers, motorists, school bus operators, school administrators and other interested parties as to safety procedures that are currently in place and how they are executed on a daily basis during each school year. “The safety procedures have changed dramatically since I have been here,” said Greenville City Schools Transportation Department Supervisor Beth Cain. As highlighted in the annual safety campaign… students are taught the importance of “waiting in a safe place.” This is en-

couraged when they are waiting to be picked up and dropped off at the end of each school day. The reason for this is so the child or children are always seen by not only the bus driver, but motorists that may be distracted and not paying close attention to their surroundings. In today’s age, most everyone that has a driver’s license carries a cell phone of some kind. With this mobile distraction, the continuing rise of either talking or texting while behind the wheel is a common safety concern. In addition to other traditional distractions behind the wheel, the safety of the children at bus stops is a focus that continues to evolve at most local, state and national levels. “Distracted driving continues to be a problem and concern we all share here at the bus barn,” Cain told The Early Bird. “If a vehicle fails to stop, our drivers try to get a plate number and get a look at the driver

if they can.” According to Cain, before any bus driver can take on a route of their own, they must have an extensive background check and complete a rigorous month of training even before they are then approved. They must learn all the newest standard safety procedures… that Cain says is “way more than when she joined the department nearly 25 years ago.” “Each route is unique,” Cain added. “The driver’s figure out what works best for each stop and they work with the students to make it as safe as possible.” During the National School Bus Safety Week, an Ohio State Highway Patrol officer normally will set aside a day to come and follow a bus on it’s route to watch for any motorists that may violate traffic laws when it comes to a stopped school bus. The State of Ohio enforces this law very heavily. Violators can face a number

ers do watch a bit more closely during the window of when the high school lets out and teen drivers are departing. Greenville City Schools operates on 20 local bus routes and currently employees 29 certiﬁed drivers… but additional drivers are needed, according to Cain. Applicants must be able to pass a background check and drug screening in order to be eligible. For more information about Greenville routes or to learn about bus driver positions that are currently available, contact the Greenville City School Transportation Department at 548-4464 or visit the website at www.greenville.k12.oh.us/Transportation.aspx.

of penalties if ticketed for passing a bus that has it’s safety lights on at a stop. Hefty ﬁnes, diver’s license points and even a higher insurance rate are common for most violators of this law. “We do get some violations and have issued several citations,” noted Sgt. Dean Flanery of the Greenville Police Department. The department has is-

sued four school bus related trafﬁc citations in 2015, according to Sgt. Flanery. “It doesn’t seem to be a problem, but it does happen on occasion,” assured Sgt. Flanery. According to Cain, who has been the Transportation Supervisor for the last six years, the biggest problem areas for Greenville bus routes are at certain stops on Rhoades Ave. and Russ Road.

Health fair offers ‘walk-thru’ colon, screenings and information BOB ROBINSON

ASSOCIATE EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – “We may have saved a life today,” said Jill Brown, RN, Wayne HealthCare Cancer Coordinator. She was referring to the ‘Walk-Thru Colon’ offered to visitors to the hospital’s 41st Annual Darke County Health Fair Oct. 13. By mid-afternoon, approximately 600 people had visited the health fair being held in the Youth Building at the Darke County fairgrounds; about 500 of them had gone up to the upper level to ‘walk through’ the inﬂatable co-

lon. Of those, according to Brown, 20 have signed up for a colon screening. Noting early screening is the key, she said “colon cancer can be prevented.” The inﬂatable colon display is broken into three distinct areas. The ﬁrst is a healthy colon. The second shows multiple polyps (which could either be benign or malignant), and the third shows the onset of cancer. The purpose of the screening is to catch the polyps (in section two) before they turn into colon cancer. John Dutro, M.D., and his partner David Ware, M.D., handle both the colonoscopies and the sur-

The annual October health fair is for adults; there is a health fair in May for fifth grades from all school districts. According to Sharen Warren, fifth grade was chosen as a key age for education. This year’s health fair featured 30 screenings and services, from Citizen CPR and Blood Wellness Profile to Car Seat Safety and Dental Hygiene. Informational displays were offered by more than 50 service providers.

He smiled and said, yes, I do. Donald Booker talked about his colon cancer operation in 1992. He’s 94 years old. Betty O’Dell, 87, had rectal surgery in July 2012. The tumors were malignant. In 2013 she got the good news… “I’m clean,” she said. Brown recommends getting colon screenings starting at age 50 and every 10 years after that. If polyps are found and re-

GREENVILLE – The message from executives and board chairmen of Good Samaritan Hospital, Premier Health and Wayne HealthCare at the grand opening of Good Samaritan Health Center Greenville is they want Darke County to be a healthy community.

The goal for Wayne HealthCare, with all of the partnerships, was to bring in services to the community that area residents would have previously had to travel long distances to ﬁnd. In addition to the new facility, Premier Health and Wayne HealthCare have teamed up to offer cancer services and Tele-

it, but he didn’t cause the damage. He added he didn’t cause the damage to the other door, either. Police contacted the owner, Amy Brown, who told them Sleepy did not have permission to break into the garage and steal the mower. Sleppy was arrested and transported to the Darke County jail. DRUGS On October 8, four days prior to the above incident, police observed a vehicle stopping past plainly marked white cross walk lines at intersections and followed it. When the suspect made a right turn from SR 36 onto SR 571 without signaling, the officer made a traffic stop. The driver was Douglas Sleppy; there was also a front seat passenger and a back seat passenger, Trema Boling. Sleppy’s hands allegedly shook continuously and his breathing was rapid. He said the vehicle belonged to his sister but she allows him to use it on occasion. The officer observed cotton balls on the floorboard of the vehicle, then asked where they were going. First they said they were taking Boling to Good Samaritan Hospital; later they said they were going to visit a friend there. The

officer requested the K9 unit from Darke County Sheriff’s Office; it showed a positive alert to the driver side of the vehicle. Occupants were asked to exit the vehicle. A bent spoon and a syringe were found next to the driver’s seat. Sleppy initially denied knowing about them, then stated they were his from “months ago.” A syringe and Q tip were found in Bolling’s purse. Bolling said the syringe was old and could possibly belong to a friend. Bolling was issued a citation for drug abuse instrument. Sleppy was issued a citation for drug abuse instrument and a traffic citation for the red light violation. On October 13 police were dispatched to Greenville High School. Two students admitted to smoking marijuana during lunch at a friend’s house; one had been referred to the office by a teacher who thought he may have been under the influence of a drug. A package of marijuana and a lighter were in the possession of one student. Both students are on probation; their probation officer was notified and he advised he would file probation violations on both students.

Former Ansonia basketball coach faces student sex charge BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

ANSONIA - A former Ansonia high school basketball coach has been charged with a sole count of Sexual Battery, a felony of the third degree, following an investigation into a relationship with him and a teenage student. Eric R. Beisner, 26, was arrested late Monday night at his home, according to jail records. The investigation was handled by the Ansonia Police Department before he was indicted by a Grand Jury in July. The offense allegedly occurred between September 2014 and April 2015, according to the indictment. During a video arraignment Wednesday afternoon, Darke County Common Pleas Court Jonathan P. Hein released Beisner on a mutually agreed upon OR bond. The female “victim” in the case, along with her parents and Beisner’s father were present during

He entered a guilty plea to three counts of Burglary, felonies of the third degree; two counts of Receiving Stolen Property, fourth degree felonies; and Misuse of a Credit Card, a ﬁfth degree felony. The state dismissed one count of Grand Theft of Firearms, two counts of Theft and one count of Theft of a Credit Card which Reigelsperger was indicted on as part of a plea agreement. “This is a crime spree from a drug habit,” defense attorney David A.

Although Assistant Prosecutor Deborah S. Quigley recommended Reigelsperger serve at lease 24 months, Darke County Judge Jonathan P. Hein met the state halfway… ordering a 12 month sentence. In addition, Judge Hein ordered him to pay a restitution in the amount of $850 for several ﬁrearms that were stolen during the crime spree. Reigelsperger was given a jail credit of 106 days served. He will be placed on an optional 36 months of post release control after completing the prison term.

Memorial Hall facelift highlights ﬁrst concert BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Maybe it’s an aura. Maybe it’s the fresh paint, or maybe it’s the shiny brass ﬁttings and railings, or reﬁnished front doors with new brass hardware. St. Clair Memorial Hall is 103 years old but it looks like it was unveiled yesterday. “The most telling tale,” said Matt Jordan, the project manager for the refurbished Performing Arts Center, “is it was built between 1910 and 1912 at a cost of $135,000. We refurbished it to the tune of $500,000 and barely scratched the surface.” Visitors to the Oct. 10 DCCA Artist Series event, however, noticed. One immediately talked about the center staircase now having a brass railing down the middle, something older visitors had been requesting for years. Others noticed the fresh paint and repaired marble; the new brass hardware on the refurbished front doors. But most of all, they noticed the new seating in the auditorium. Darke County Center for the Arts (DCCA) Artistic Director Keith Rawlins referred to the seats that used to “move” with those sitting in them, sometimes squeaking. “I loved those old seats… but I love

these, too,” he said. “You can actually ‘feel’ the music.” The project was funded through a $500,000 grant from the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission. Instrumental in obtaining the funding were Senate President Keith Faber, Senator Bill Beagle and Representative Jim Buchy. All three were on hand for the opening of the DCCA Artist Series with Lisa Biales. State Board of Education member Darryl Mehafﬁe and the Darke County Endowments for the Arts did the “behind the scenes” work to fund and follow the project through to completion. Faber and Beagle presented a Senate commendation to Endowments for the Arts chair Marilyn Delk; Buchy presented a commendation from the House. Mehafﬁe, who serves on the DCCA Board

and is a past president, was awarded the William L. Combs Patron of the Arts award for his service by Rawlins and DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan. Also touring the Hall and attending the concert were Greenville City Schools Superintendent Doug Fries and Edison State Community College President Dr. Doreen Larson. Matt Jordan, in a brief ceremony prior to the Biales performance, said local vendors and suppliers were used where possible for work or materials ranging from lighting and carpeting to painting and the stage curtain. They included Brumbaugh Construction, Bud’s Electric, G&G Floor, Irvin Seating, McCabe Painting, Nealeigh Plastering, Rose Brand and Vincent Light Systems.

FM School Board Election

I am writing this letter in hope of bringing forth positive change to the Franklin Monroe School District. Several months ago I started hearing a few things going on at FM which concerned me, the most concerning being the continued loss of good teachers and staff to other districts over the last few years. Because of this I started attending FM School Board meetings in spring of 2015 and did my own inquiring on these issues. What I learned brought me greater concern and caused me to express these concerns before the school board. A few of the board members heard me and I feel have genuine concerns of their own. A couple other board members heard what I had to say and completely disregarded the issues. I am not alone in my concerns with the FM School District. I have had numerous individuals come to me and tell me they have similar concerns and a few other individuals have voiced their same concerns at school board meetings. When speaking to some employees of the district, those same concerning issues continue to come up. Employees have expressed to me fear for their jobs if they speak up. Based on what I have learned I believe the problem lies within the upper administration of the FM School District. I am hoping with the upcoming elections of the FM School Board, the district can attract new leadership and get FM back where it used to be. Rodney Baker, Pitsburg ~~~~~~~~~~~

Devil’s Afraid Law Won’t Pass

As regards to the ads on T.V. the older generation advocating the use of marijuana and not the younger generation is because of the abuse; therefore (the devil would be afraid this law would not pass). This type of behavior is detrimental and, under any circumstance, should not be accepted. Moreover, it is extenuating, and causing distress in our civilized communities (depleting our sovereignty into communistic values). Furthermore, you have forced you’re will devouringly (our faith and freedom). Don’t delude yourself, the drug companies already own this land and will allow them to produce more than one substance. Therefore, giving them the right to have authority to control our families, then we will be falling into destitute leaving our current law to fall into desuetude. When the cop on TV says “vote yes on this law to control and reform,” he is contriving. One definition of control is checking the findings of an experiment. This is for governmental use, not ours. One definition of reform is to find faults of evil. Ask yourself this question. Have they stopped abuse? Now, since you know marijuana is evil and you vote on this law, once evil is in existence no one can legislate it out of existence. “In War in Peace my friends” Two thoughts (1) Why should we give up our freedom for the course of one person suffering and cause suffering to a family. (2) The drug companies will have the control to distribute and dispense this drug. Therefore, if the person or group receiving these drugs and have excess will allow them to give or sell to the children and nothing you do to stop it. Kenneth Delk, Rossburg ~~~~~~~~~~

Arriving at the Truth

When we visit the editorial page of any publication, we feel a buzz of satisfaction when we come upon an article, cartoon, or letter that reinforces what we already believe. Possibly, our beliefs are the result of careful research. That research process is hard work, and most of us don’t put in the time it requires to check the validity of various claims. So it is more likely, we notice a public figure with access to the media and take that person at his or her word. For myself, in an effort to arrive at reasonable conclusions, I have depended on a useful online source: Factcheck.org. This nonpartisan site has won many awards for carrying out its purpose--to research the claims we hear from politicians every day. In regard to a recent piece by Mr. Buchy, titled “Defund Planned Parenthood,” I encourage you to go to this website and enter the following article titles in the search bar: “Unspinning the Planned Parenthood Video” “Planned Parenthood Services” “Fact-checking the CNN Republican Debate (specifically Carly Fiorina’s remarks concerning a Planned Parenthood video)” “Does a Fetus Feel Pain at 20 Weeks?” If you are interested in arriving at something close to truth, knowing that truth itself is a process, not a finality, then read each of these carefully. It will be hard work. Cheryl Stafford, Greenville

Law enforcement says no to Issue 3 DARKE COUNTY – On Nov. 3, 2015, you will make a decision on Issue 3 and Issue 2. As you know, this issue will allow marijuana to become more prevalent in our communities. As the local law enforcement agency heads, we are writing to ask that you vote NO on Issue 3. This issue will create a legalized drug cartel in Ohio. This means they will operate a monopoly on marijuana sales in Ohio. Issue 2 will stop the monopoly process if Issue 3 passes. Therefore, we ask that you vote YES on Issue 2 and NO on Issue 3. If Issue 3 passes, we will see an increase in marijuana related vehicle crashes and a rise in other crimes that will come as a result of this proposal. This is just some of what you won’t hear from those who have paid millions to put this on the ballot. As we look at the history of marijuana in our community, our State and in our Nation, it has most certainly been a hot topic for years. Contrary to what

television ads may say, our local enforcement efforts are not spent tracking down marijuana smokers. Our enforcement efforts have been primarily harder drugs, like heroin or cocaine for a number of years. Our prisons are not full of people that were caught holding small amounts of marijuana. In fact, there are very few in our State’s prisons that are incarcerated for the primary offense of possessing marijuana. Law enforcement typically gets involved with a marijuana user or dealer because they have made themselves known to us by violating laws. Beyond this proposal, look south of our border into Mexico. Drug cartels in Mexico, who ship thousands of pounds of marijuana to the United States each year have made a several billion dollar proﬁt from users in North America. So, our answer is to legalize marijuana and that will solve our drug issues? This argument doesn’t make sense. Cartels

Darke County Sounds Off Darke Countians were asked how they felt about Issue 3, the Constitutional Amendment legalizing recreational and medicinal marijuana. While many declined to comment, others responded in the following manner…

JORDAN FRANCIS

I’m against it. The law is ﬂawed because it creates a monopoly. I am for legalization, however.

CARL STROBEL

No on marijuana. I grew up being told you don’t mess around with drugs.

MISSY FRANCIS

I think they should have medical to help the people who need it. It does wonders to help them. I’m not so sure about recreational.

MONICA MONDRAGON

Recreational marijuana? No. It’s a drug. If a doctor prescribes it and follows up with it, that’s okay. But not recreational.

LYNN BLAKELEY

My gut issue says no. I don’t see the beneﬁts out-

weighing the problems.

ANNIE SONNER

I feel like it would be a nightmare, a huge mistake. With younger people it impairs development. For anyone it ruins your short term memory, ability to function, motivation…

No. I just think it’s wrong.

JAYNE CONNAIR

Issue 3? Yes. I grew up in the 70’s. But I’m mostly in favor of the medical part.

already have ﬁgured out that there are States willing to legalize marijuana and this will take some of their proﬁts. Instead, they began sending heroin to our country to poison our communities. Now, we have allowed a few to begin to change the face of American values. So, who is left to investigate those who don’t use marijuana responsibly? Who pays for their treatment when they can’t hold a job or have health insurance? As voters, you have a right to say no to something that will not be a good thing for our State. We ask that you investigate this issue further and become familiar with why we strongly oppose it. For example, did you know that convicted felons could own their own marijuana shop? Did you know that there will be no regulations on mixing marijuana into candies or food products? The average THS (the most active ingredient of marijuana) levels in edibles can reach as high as 12-15-percent. The modern processing of marijuana has made the potency of it much higher than what was previously accustomed to in the 1970’s as an example. Today’s hybrid versions, which include extracting oils from the plans can have THS levels as high as 90percent. These oils can be then used in today’s smoking instruments that are more commonly used for tobacco products. So, if you are a parent or grandparent, are you prepared to allow your child/grandchild to visit a friend’s house in the future not knowing if they will be potentially in-

gesting something containing marijuana? If you are a business owner, are you prepared for the effects of this on the workforce? Local business owners already know that ﬁnding quality employees can sometimes be challenging. Smoking marijuana will not improve someone’s likelihood of being employed. The proponents of this issue want to sway your vote because they stand to make millions if the vote goes their way. How will this vote affect you and your family? If you don’t know the answers, we ask that you educate yourself and vote NO on issue3! By voting NO, you will join others that include: Ohio School Boards Association, Ohio State Medical Association, Ohio Manufacturer’s Association, Ohio Farm Bureau, Ohio Prosecutors Association, Ohio Corner’s Association, Ohio Chamber of Commerce, Ohio Council of Retail Merchants, the Ohio Fraternal Order of Police, Buckeye State Sheriff’s Association, Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police, the Drug Free Action Alliance and many more organizations and agencies throughout our great State. Help us take a stand! Be a part of the movement that stands on the facts that drug use is not good for our State. Signed by: Sheriff Toby L. Spencer Chief Dennis L. Butts Chief Andrew D. Ashbaugh Chief Chester F. Banks Mark E. Humphreys Chief David A. McHenry Prosecuting Attorney R. Kelly Ormsby, III

A free-will offering will be received, with the proceeds going to Bob and Pat Lee of Ansonia. Although the spring floods in Ansonia were not quite as catastrophic as the recent flooding in South Carolina, for some families, the result was the same – lost possessions and lost homes. Bob and Pat Lee lost everything, and their home was completely flooded. At a time in their lives when they thought they were settled, the Lees have had to start over. Bob and Pat have been great supporters of St. Paul’s benefits over the years, and the people of St.

New Year’s Eve Gala benefits scavengers GREENVILLE – For the average American, it is difficult to imagine a life in which the city dump is both your home and place of employment. The garbage, the smell, and the filth are outside our realm of understanding. And yet these living conditions are reality for over 10,000 people who live and work in and around the Guatemala City Dump. Even in their own country, these impoverished citizens are outcasts. They are referred to as “scavengers,” devalued and treated as less than human. Their situation is dire as they live and work in dangerous and unsanitary conditions. Destination Known, a ministry of EUM Church in Greenville, has partnered with Potter’s House Association International to build 14 homes for families living in this area and would like to continue to build more. In 2014 and 2015, Destination Known built five homes; however, this is becoming increasingly difficult due to the increased cost of building supplies. Destination Known is hosting a New Year’s Eve Gala on Dec. 31, which will be held at Romer’s Catering in Greenville beginning at 8 p.m. with hors

d’oeuvres, dinner, dancing and a live auction. This is an alcohol free event with 100-percent of the proceeds used to build homes for families living in a shanty community around the Guatemala City garbage dump. Tickets are on sale now! The cost is $50 per person or $85 per couple. Reserved seating is also available for $350 for a table of 8. Tickets may be purchased at EUM Church, A&B Coffee and Cakes, Dave Knapp Ford Lincoln, and Romer’s Catering. If you are unable to attend but would like to make a donation, make the check payable to EUM Church and mail to: EUM Church, 111 Devor St., Greenville, Ohio 45331, Attn: Cliff Rapier, and put “Guatemala Missions” in the memo line. If you would like more information about the New Year’s Eve Gala, visit www.eumchurch.org or contact Cliff Rapier at 5483211 ext. 212 or crapier@ eumchurch.org. Also, follow EUM’s Facebook page and watch for continual updates on the auction items. For more information, visit www.eumchurch.org or call 548-3211.

Girls fall basketball league ends BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Eight schools represented the second annual 2015 Darke County Girls Fall Basketball League championship team made up of eight high school girls from the surrounding counties and towns. The eight member championship team included Hailey Howard (Miami East), Tiffany Hatcher (Russia), Sammi Whiteman (Covington), Kelsey Custenborder (Versailles), Lessie Cable (Greenville) Tara Fubouex (Franklin Monroe), Emily Langenkamp (Versailles) and Miranda Mize (National Trail). Versailles varsity girls basketball coach Jacki Stonebraker and Greenville varsity coach Rachel Kerns work together to bring the girls fall basketball league to Darke County with the junior high girls playing at the Versailles gym and the varsity girls meeting at the Greenville High School

gym. “We want our girls playing in the fall so why not open the gym and let them have a chance to get better,” said Kerns. “There are certain rules we have to follow,” Kerns said. “There can’t be more than two girls from one high school team on the same team.” “Other than that… they just come in and play,” continued Kerns. “We don’t supply coaches. We like them to learn the game from each other and make their own decisions.” “We don’t designate team coaches,” added Kerns. “The girls kind of decide it. They have to decide if they want to call a time out or who is subbing and when, who’s going to start, those are all based on the girls on their teams.” The ﬁve-week Sunday afternoon fall league had 63-girls from Ansonia, Arcanum, Coldwater, Covington, Franklin Monroe, Green-

GREENVILLE – The Lady Wave volleyball team made its final 2015 home appearance Tuesday night against a tall GWOC South opponent losing 3-0 to the Fairborn Lady Skyhawks by scores of 25-23, 25-13 and 25-19. “We are coming off all that injury stuff… all of the sickness that we have been battling with,” said Greenville Coach Lori Davis. “All the sudden these are the girls we’ve been seeing all year… they were free to play the game.” The Lady Wave gave the visitors all they wanted in game No. 1 jumping out to a 6-3 advantage before the Skyhawks scored eight unanswered points to lead 11-6. The Lady Wave would battle back to knot the score at 13-13, one of seven ties in the set. The teams would play even with the final tie of the game coming at 23-23 before Fairborn would put the final two points on the board to win game one 25-23. The Lady Skyhawks would open up a 3-0 lead in game

two and never look back winning the set 25-13. Trailing 7-3 in the third game, the Lady Wave put up four consecutive points to even the score a 7-7 before the visitors moved out to a 17-13 advantage. Another four-point Wave scoring run tied the game a 17-17 followed by the fifth and final tie at 18-18 only to have Fairborn score five unanswered points to lead 2318 and win the final game 25-19. Three Lady Wave players wore the Green and White for their final home appearance… seniors Ellie Light, Logan Emrick and Kelsi Smith. “Ellie Light over here on the right side,” said Davis, “Ellie got moved over to the right side for the first time this year as a senior. She wasn’t real sure and all the sudden she knows she can block, can hit… she’s part of the offense that has been so fun to watch this year.” “Logan Emrick… tough middle,” Davis said. “She’s battle through a lot of different things coming up with a knee. “Took basketball off last

They bring a lot of good competi-

She has fun up there and she is starting to learn to block so hard that it’s becoming a success.” “Kelsie Smith… our Libero (volleyball defensive specialist),” said Davis. “She has been knocking her body out all over the place. She will not let a ball die without a great effort… I love that.” “They are part of the coach’s heart forever,” Davis said of her three seniors. “All of these kids I’ve known since freshman year and I have

watched them grow. I would love to have them play again for us but they will always be right here in my heart.” Fairborn improves to 1110 while Greenville drops to 2-19 on the season. Greenville closed out its regular season on the road Thursday night at Wayne. The No. 11 seed Lady Wave meet the No. 7 seed Urbana Lady Hillclimbers Monday night in the ﬁrst round of the OHSAA Division II Volleyball tournament at Tecumseh High School with a 6 p.m. start time.

GREENVILLE – The Green Wave varsity boys basketball team has accepted an invitation to play in the Good Samaritan Flyin’ to the Hoop High School Basketball Invitational for the second consecutive year. “We will have our hands full but we are excited to be invited back,” said Greenville head varsity boys basketball coach Michael Bashore. “I think that says a lot about what our kids have done to make this a successful program from where they were a few years ago.” “To be invited back for a second year in a row, I think that say a lot about how hard our kids work and how much our fans travel,” added Bashore. “We had a great crowd there last year… something that doesn’t hurt when they are looking for teams to bring back.” The Green Wave will take on one of the better basketball programs in the state when they face Columbus Northland January 16, 2016 with a 1:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon start time. Columbus Northland is one of the better teams over the last 5-10 years in the state of Ohio,” said Bashore. “They were in the regional ﬁnals last year… they won state (2009) four or ﬁve years ago.” Greenville fans traveling to the game to support the Wave take on Northland will have an opportunity to watch one of the better players in the state in 6’7” 200-pound Seth Towns compete against the Green Wave boys. “He (Towns) is a fantastic basketball player,” said Bashore. “He will be a good tough matchup for us. Northland is just consistent-

ly good year in and year out. I would compare them a lot to a Wayne or Centerville.” Towns is the No. 8 player in Ohio and No. 23 small forward in the class according to 247Sports. A highlevel basketball prospect in the 2016 recruiting class, Towns was sought after by Ohio State, Michigan, UCLA and others but recently shocked many when he chose to play for Harvard over more established basketball programs. “We have a nice group of kids coming back,” stated Bashore. “Anytime you have the leading scorer in the league (Clay Guillozet) coming back, then a kid with the caliber of what Isaiah Gable has, a bunch of kids who are eager for their shot… they have kind of waited their turn the last couple of years behind some older kids and they are eager to get their shot at it. They want to be the ones to help win the league again.” The internationally recognized high school basketball showcase will take place Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, January 1518, 2016 in front of sellout crowds of over 20,000 Fans, 100 members of the National Media and more than 100 Div. I, II, & III Coaches in Dayton, Ohio at the Trent Arena. Another great lineup is in store for the 14th Invitational with more than 75projected Division I recruits as well as the top players and teams in the nation. Held annually in Dayton and bringing an economic impact of $1.9M to the area, the Good Samaritan Hospital Flyin’ to the Hoop is once again prepping to bring the national stage to the Miami Valley over the 4-day weekend event.

The “glutes” consist of the gluteus maximus, the gluteus medius, and the gluteus minimus. These muscles help us sit and stand, walk, and climb steps. If you happen to be an athlete, these muscles also increase running/bicycling speed, jumping ability, and ability to carry heavy things. Lack of strength in the glute muscles can result in poor posture and even an achy back. Stronger glutes help to support the torso, which is heavy in proportion to the total weight of the body. More support equals better posture. Stronger glutes also protect the hip and knee joints, which becomes increasingly important the more active we are and the older we get. This is because stronger muscles on our “back side” make movement more efﬁcient. If movement is more efﬁcient, the joints are protected from injury. For instance, sitting down and standing back up can hurt the knees if the glute muscles are not strong enough.

Diana Unger

Personal Trainer This can result in more pressure in the knees, and done repeatedly over days, weeks and months, the knees can hurt. Add aging to this, when muscle mass is more difﬁcult to keep, and knees can be even more uncomfortable. IT Band (illiotibial band) injuries may also be prevented with stronger glute muscles. The IT band is a tendon that connects the outside of the hip to the outside of the knee, and when it has to work harder than it should due to weak glute muscles, it can get strained, causing discomfort. So now, the question is: “How do I make my glute muscles stronger?” The good news is, whatever age you might be, it is never too late to get stron-

Did you know? Building a home gym inside your home can motivate you to workout more often and adopt a healthier lifestyle. Fitness experts advise that homeowners building a home gym in their homes emphasize lighting in the room that will soon transform into a gym. A well-lit room, whether the light is coming from several windows, a door or recessed lighting in the ceiling, can help men and women maintain their energy levels throughout their workouts, whereas darker rooms can lead to feelings of sluggishness, which can compromise workout routines. In addition, when building a home gym, keep the room free of clutter and unnecessary items that will only be a distractions during workouts. Potentially valuable additions to home gyms in-

clude plants, which can increase oxygen levels in the room, and at least one mirror, which can help men and women focus on their movements and ensure they are performing exercises correctly. Homeowners building a home gym also should consider ﬁnding room for a wall-mounted television to make time spent on elliptical machines or treadmills less monotonous. If possible, homeowners should connect a streaming device to the television so they can catch up on their favorite shows or watch movies as they burn calories. It’s also good to ﬁnd space for a mini refrigerator in the gym, which should be kept well stocked with water. This can prevent runs to the kitchen in the middle of a workout.

ger glute muscles. For beginners, squats and step ups are a great place to start. Squats can be done on a raised, sturdy, flat surface that is at approximately knee height (higher, if you have known knee issues). A wooden chair could work. Stand with feet hip-width apart, sit down and back on the raised surface with most of your weight into your heels, landing softly. Stand up tall, placing most of your weight into your heels. If you find your weight moving into the balls of your feet, adjust your weight placement so you feel it mostly into your heels. This will protect your knees. Repeat this 10-15 times. This same technique can be used to get up from dining chairs, benches, or from family room chairs. For step ups, find a raised sturdy, flat surface (a sturdy bench, for instance) onto which you can place your whole foot . Without pushing off with the other foot, step up and push most

Pumpkin Spice Smoothie Sometimes, I make smoothies as a special treat. Due to time constraints, there are those who prefer them for breakfast. When you add oats, the consistency is thicker, and it can fill you up to tie you over to the next meal.

Pumpkin Spice Smoothie – serves 2 ½ cup oats (optional) 1 cup plain yogurt (I prefer greek yogurt for the protein content) ½ teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned is fine) 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice ¼- ½ cup milk (I use unsweetened almond milk) Pulse the oats in a blender/smoothie maker by themselves until they are a fine consistency. Add the other ingredients and blend until smooth. Add the milk a little at a time and blend to get deserved consistency, If you prefer the smoothie to be sweeter, a small amount of applesauce or small amount of sweetener can be added. Enjoy!

Gobble up turkey nutrition facts Turkeys are seemingly everywhere come November, whether it’s at your favorite grocery store, on television cooking shows and possibly hanging out in the wild of a nearby nature preserve. Turkeys are the main course for many holiday dinners, and turkey leftovers also make for popular meals once holidays have come and gone. Although turkeys earn most of their attention during the holiday season, their health beneﬁts can be enjoyed throughout the year. Turkey contains roughly 34 calories and 1 gram of fat per ounce (33 grams) of meat. It is low in saturated fat and is a good source of protein. In fact, just one 3 to 4 ounce serving of turkey

provides 65 percent of a person’s recommended daily intake of protein. Protein helps fuel the body and can help a person feel full longer. People who are customizing their diets to protect against cancer may want to include turkey on the menu. Turkey contains selenium, which can promote healthy function of the thyroid and boost the immune system. Selenium also helps to eliminate free radicals in the body through its antioxidant power. Those who need to increase their B vitamin intake also can turn to turkey. According to Livestrong, a serving of turkey has 36 percent of the daily allowance

of vitamin B3, which helps process fats in the body. It also contains 27 percent of the RDA for vitamin B6, which helps maintain steady blood sugar levels, among other things. In addition to these vitamins, turkey also is rich in many minerals, including iron, phosphorous, potassium, and zinc. While turkey is healthy, the way it is prepared can affect just how beneﬁcial it is to one’s diet. For example, slathering the meat with butter or dousing it in rich gravies may negate some of turkey’s positive attributes. One of the most popular ways to cook turkey is to roast it. Let fresh herbs and a citrus juice marinade add the desired ﬂavor. Place the

turkey on a roasting rack so that any fat will drain to the bottom of the pan. Baste the turkey with fresh marinade to keep it moist. It’s best to cook any stuffing outside of the turkey so there is no potential for contamination by bacteria. Make stufﬁng healthier by using whole-grain rice, vegetables, dried fruits, and nuts in lieu of a heavy bread base. Leftover roasted turkey can be ground and used to make tacos and burgers or chopped and turned into turkey salad. The possibilities for leftover turkey are endless, especially for cooks willing to try their hands at something new.

How to find time for exercise Diet and exercise are essential components of a healthy lifestyle. While even the busiest men and women can find ways to eat healthy, finding time to exercise can be more difficult. According to the President's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition, regular physical activity can prevent chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer and stroke, which are the three leading causes of health-related death in the United States. In addition, men and women who are not physically active are at greater risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Regular exercise helps people control their weight while promoting bone, muscle and joint health. While the benefits of regular exercise are substantial, finding the time for daily exercise is not always so easy. The following are a handful of strategies men and women can employ as they attempt to make more time in their days to exercise. • Reexamine your free time. Few adults, and especially those juggling families

of your weight into the heel of the foot on the step as you stand tall. Reverse that movement to return to a standing position on the ﬂoor, landing softly. Repeat 8-12 times on 1 leg before switching to the other side. To make it more challenging, use a higher surface. As your glute muscles get stronger, you will need to challenge them more to maintain and even build the muscle and strength. Variations of lunges, deadlifts, weighted squats, farmer carries, and glute bridges are more advanced exercises that can be incorporated into your exercise routine. Be sure to consult with your physician before starting any exercise program. Diana Unger is a certiﬁed personal trainer located in Darke County, with experience training youth and adults of all ages.

and careers, have an abundance of free time. But reexamining the ways you are spending your free time may help you uncover some moments for daily exercise. The Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition notes that adults between the ages of 18 and 64 need at least two and a half hours each week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity. While that may seem like a lot, it's only slightly more than 20 minutes per day. It helps to supplement such aerobic activity with some strength-training activities at least two days per week. Try waking up 20 to 30 minutes earlier each day, using that time to hit the treadmill or jog around the neighborhood. You likely won't be affected by waking up earlier, and you won't need to alter your existing schedule for the rest of the day, either. If mornings aren't your thing, make better use of your lunch hour, going for a jog or visiting your company's exercise facilities if that option is available to you. • Work while you exercise. Technology has made

it easier than ever before to stay connected to the office even when you are nowhere near your desk. Men and women who can't seem to find time to exercise often cite the demands of their job as the primary reason behind their inactivity, but those same individuals can use the technology at their disposal, be it smartphones that allow them keep track of work emails or tablets that make it possible to connect remotely to office servers, to work while they exercise. Bring your smartphone or tablet with you when you work out on the elliptical or jog on the treadmill. • Reduce your sedentary time. A 2008 study from Australian researchers found that people who regularly break up their sedentary time, including the hours they sit behind their desk at the office, with movement had healthier waist circumferences, body mass indexes and triglycerides than those who did not. While hourly breaks to walk around the office might not seem like exercise, such

breaks can benefit your long-term health. • Get creative. Many people associate daily exercise with private gyms, and while gyms can serve as excellent motivators and great places to get full-body workouts, time involved in driving to and from the gym can make it difficult to commit to gym memberships. But you don't need a gym membership to live a healthy lifestyle. When possible, take the stairs instead of an elevator and park further away from your office door so you get a small cardiovascular workout on your way into and out of the office. Rather than retiring to the couch after dinner, walk or bike around your neighborhood. Such simple gestures may seem insignificant, but the more creative ways you find to exercise each day, the more beneficial such efforts become. While there is no way to create more time in the day, men and women can employ several strategies to make more time for daily exercise.

Before the show Biales said Keith and his team do everything they can to make her performance a good experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people here are my favorites,â&#x20AC;? she said enthusiastically. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like a princess!â&#x20AC;?

Her rendition of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crazyâ&#x20AC;? was a hit with the audience. Biales has been performing since she was 13 (over 40 years). Her family background is music. She acknowledged she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spend as much time on the road as she used to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not retiring,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;just not so much running around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I only want to do â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;funâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shows,â&#x20AC;? she added.

Lung transplant surgery a 50-50 chance… but worth it BOB ROBINSON

ASSOCIATE EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

Greenville High School cross country team helps package items for a second time. (Clinton Randall photo)

Elementary Backpack program continues to expand, grow GREENVILLE – The annual Backpack program at Greenville City Schools got underway this week. For the second time in as many years, the Greenville High School cross country team helped assemble over 680 food packages, at the Grace Resurrection Community Center, that will be distributed the next four weeks to elementary students in need. The program, which is operated by the Woodland PTA and the GHS Careers with Children, is geared towards aiding students in grades K-4 with meals that they can make themselves over the weekend. The program was started after noticing some students re-

turned to school on Mondays hungry. The Greenville Backpack program has continued to grow… with 137 students signed up for the 2015-16 school year. In addition to Greenville City Schools, the program has extended to now include all Darke County schools… with nearly 380 additional students receiving assistance. For more information about the Greenville program, contact Lori Hunt at 937-547-9305. For all nonGreenville students, contact Darke County Coordinator Vickie Wilcox at 937423-2700. Some schools welcome students as old as ﬁfth and sixth grade.

GREENVILLE – Dean Besecker has COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). He has been “facing” it for ﬁve years. According to his wife, Gail, he’s been going downhill. He’s prepping – and waiting – for a lung transplant, and has been part of the Rehabilitation program at Wayne HealthCare since January. He was in Pulmonary Rehab. Then he found out he had a heart blockage… got a stint put in the same day. Then he had to go through Cardiac Rehab. Now he’s back in Pulmonary and, according to Wayne Rehabilitation Coordinator Linda Fridley, CRT, will probably be ready for the transplant by the end of the year. Has it been a tough road? Not according to Besecker. “Nah,” he said. “Piece of cake. It’s the doctors going to have a tough time.” Besecker’s goal to qualify for the lung transplant is 30 minutes each on the treadmill, bicycle and upper body exerciser (weights and bands). “You have to

be as healthy as you can be because this is an 8-hour surgery,” said wife Gail. “He’s tested. If they find alcohol, drugs or nicotine in his system… he’s out!!” Both are at the Wayne Rehabilitation Center 2-3 days a week. When he’s ready he gets moved up the list. Then there’s the procedure. “You have a 50-50 chance of survival,” she added, agreeing with her husband the heart surgery by comparison was a “piece of cake.” After the procedure Besecker will spend two weeks in the hospital, 30 days in residential, then followup weekly, then bi-weekly, then monthly, then every six months. During this time he has to maintain a fitness program. The transplant will be done at Indiana University Health near Richmond, Ind. Once Besecker has qualified he has to be ready to be there within three hours of the call. “I still need to qualify,” he said, “but then if we go anywhere it has to be in the direction of the hospital.” “Don’t smoke,” said the reformed smoker. “That’s why I’m sitting here.”

Dean Besecker is going through Wayne HealthCare Rehabilitation to prepare for a lung transplant in Indiana. According to Linda Fridley, Rehabilitation Coordinator, left, he should be ready by the end of the year. Behind Dean is his wife Gail, with Karen Lockhart, Rehabilitation Specialist, on the right. (Bob Robinson photo)

Dealing with his health issues and preparing for the procedure required a complete lifestyle change. He would do it again. “I’m not giving up,” Besecker said. “I’ve still got a lot of people to aggravate… I’m going to try to take advantage of this opportunity for a better life.” Gail, who Fridley says has been extremely supportive throughout the entire program, says it’s all worth it. “Just hang in there,” she added. “Keep your sense of humor… besides, I’m looking forward to not tripping over that hose (the tubing her hus-

band needs for his oxygen tank).” According to Fridley, part of the preparation involves a lot of psychological and emotional things to think about… someone must die before the recipient can live. “I don’t know,” said Besecker quietly. “I haven’t sorted it out yet, but I will do it!” Fridley added, “Think of it as a gift.” Besecker’s referring family physician is Dr. Dajani, pulmonologist is Dr. Reihman. Twelve different specialty teams will be involved in Besecker’s journey to a better life.

LUNCH SERVED EVERY THURSDAY

GREENVILLE – The Cancer Association of Darke County (CADC) recently celebrated its 20th anniversary of helping local cancer patients. The organization formed quickly after a previous cancer group announced it was closing its office in Greenville. Delores Beisner recalls a phone call from the late Mary Francis Schultz shortly after the office was closed. Mrs. Schultz asked several individuals what they thought about forming a new cancer organization that would be dedicated to helping local cancer patients. The group formally met in the Darke County of Chamber of Commerce office for the first time and on Sept. 12, 1995 the CADC was born. The new group had nothing when it started. All of the new board members chipped in to purchase office supplies and they were able to collect $130 to get started. It wasn’t long until the Annie Oakley Golf Committee decided it would no longer give to the former cancer group and

Mayor Mike Bowers signed a proclamation recognizing the Cancer Association of Darke County’s 20 years of service to local residents. Shown are (front row) Kay Curry, original board member; Bowers; Delores Beisner, original board member; (back row) Dori Howdieshell, Tonya Dohme, Marilyn Emmons, Barbara Fee, Sherry Marten and Jill Brown. (Ryan Berry photo)

began directing their proceeds to the CADC. That ﬁrst year, CADC received a check for $12,000. The original board included Schultz, president; Wanda Rismiller, vicepresident; Keith Raney, secretary; George Pierron, treasurer; Esther Barkley, executive director; and members Beisner, Bill Benkert, Kay Curry, Elma Moss, Ernie Myers, Paulette Shields, Jan Slagle, John Slagle, Verona Smith, Millie Stammen,

Horse Parade vendors needed GREENVILLE – Main Street Greenville is seeking vendors for this year’s Hometown Holiday Horse Parade, which will be held Nov. 21, 7 p.m. Vendor spaces are available to non-proﬁt organizations or church groups who would like to set-up a booth selling food during the parade. Interested organizations need to contact

Main Street Greenville at 548-4998. The deadline for submission is Nov. 2. Space is limited. To learn more about the organization, visit www. DowntownGreenville.org or call 548-4998. You can also like the organization on Facebook to receive updates on a regular basis (www.facebook.com/ mainstreetgreenville).

Janet Utz, Fran Watts and LaJeanne Willhelm. Since forming in 1995 with $130, the CADC has given away $1 million. The organization helps cancer patients with transportation costs, wigs, nutritional supplements, medicine and more. A patient is eligible for beneﬁts for up to ﬁve years after their last treatment. Their proposed budget for the coming year is over $160,000. CADC relies on different fundraisers, corporate sponsorships and individual donations to meet the needs of their patients. The Annie Oakley Golf Outing has been a tremendous supporter of the CADC since its beginning. The CADC also sponsors its own fundraisers and gets help from outside organizations. Bunco for Boobies recently donated $28,000. The Cancer Association has not strayed from its original purpose 20 years

ago, “Provide services according to need to cancer patients who reside in Darke County.” In fact, the local community’s need has been on a steady incline. Today, the CADC serves over 250 patients with 8-9 patients signing up each month. Until two years ago, the CADC had jumped around from office to office. When Wayne HealthCare offered them a permanent home in the new Cancer Center, the board eagerly accepted the offer. The office is located at 1111 Sweitzer St., Suite C, Greenville. The location gives patients of the Cancer Center easy access to help from the CADC. Plus, Darke County patients are immediately referred to the CADC office. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Cancer Association, an open house will be held Nov. 6, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. They will have refreshments and giveaways.

Carter fund helping youth for a decade GREENVILLE – The YMCA of Darke County recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Carter Memorial Fund. The fund was generously bequeathed to the Y on Sept. 12, 2005, as an endowment that beneﬁts youth and families by providing YMCA scholarship funds. The Carter Memorial Fund was established in 2005 and given to the Y by the late Clinton “Gene” Carter. Carter grew up in Fort Jefferson and attended Greenville High School. Carter’s sisters,

Hazel DuBois and Helen Thompson, told the Y that he loved coming to the Y in Greenville to swim and walk on the track. He did not have children of his own, but loved children and wanted to help them. “His generous gift has blessed thousands of children and families over the years,” said CEO Sam Casalano. “His legacy lives on in the children who have learned to swim at the Y, who have found a place to belong here, have learned fundamentals of sports, or life lessons

through character education experiences at the Y. We are touched and honored by his kindness and caring.” The YMCA of Darke County Endowment Fund gives individuals the opportunity to contribute to the mission of the YMCA in a way that lasts long into the future. Gifts are made through cash, property, stocks or other marketable securities; creation of an annuity, trust or other life estate program; or naming the YMCA as a beneﬁciary in a life insurance policy

or recipient of a bequest. In turn, donors receive signiﬁcant tax beneﬁts for their contribution. The principle balance is invested and maintained by professional advisors and monitored by a committee. Information about the YMCA of Darke County’s Endowment opportunities may be obtained from CEO Sam Casalano by calling 548-3777 or email scasalano@ymcadarkecounty. org. For more information, visit www.ymcadarkecounty.org.

CORS awarded grant through ODE PIQUA – Council on Rural Services has recently learned they are recipients of a new grant through the Ohio Department of Education as part of the Community Connector Initiative. The Community Connectors program is proposed to give Darke County students more access to inspirational role models and to nurture skills that will help them succeed both in school and in the workplace. The state received 192 grant proposals from Ohio community agencies that work with schools across Ohio; of these proposals the state has funded 82 at this date. Community Connector grants must address the following key components that are focusing on developing partnerships to serve grades 5-12 and carry out 5 core principles: * Setting goals to be prepared for the 21st Century Careers * Building character * Developing Pathways to Achievement * Building a Sense of Resiliency * Believing in a Positive Future This grant in the amount

of $89,716 was awarded to CORS/Gateway Youth Program as the lead organization. But as our community rallied and came together to propose this grant, many business, non-profit, faithbased and school partnerships are included. Partners involved are: Midmark, Wayne Healthcare, Norcold, Greenville National Bank, H & M Precision Concrete, State of the Heart Hospice, Darke County Wellness & Recovery Center of West Central Ohio, Darke County Municipal Court, Family Healthy Services of Darke County, Inc., Darke County Economic Development office. OSU Extension Office and the Darke County Chamber of Commerce. Other community partners consist of First Baptist Church in Union City, Cedar Grove Church of the Brethren in New Paris, Mississinawa Valley and Tri-Village School Districts. Through all the collaborative work of these partners, the target students in grades 5-12 will have access to oneon-one mentoring, skill building related to job readiness, career planning and work ethic. There will also

Cosplay accessories NEW PARIS – Teens in grades 6-12 can make some spooky and creepy Halloween cosplay accessories at several branches during October. They’ll have plenty of snacks and you’ll make a candy test

be tutoring, career exploration, job shadowing opportunities and internships. A family component will be offered through a parent program called “Raising Highly Capable Kids”. Because this state program provides a $3 to $1 match funding, the communities’ assistance both ﬁnancial and supportive is a must to make this grant successful for the students. This grant beneﬁts students to be more successful in school and their future. It helps the community with an increased graduation rate and a stronger, more knowledgeable, and successful workforce in the county. Jeff Vaughn, coordinator for the Gateway Youth Program said, “We are excited about beginning this new program and partnering with local businesses.

Come to Lighthouse Christian Center’s U-Turn Building, corner of US Route 127 and Sebring Warner Road, Greenville. For more information, call Janice, 417-5926.

The grant will give us the opportunity to open conversations and build more relationships in the business community and bring more awareness and personal support to young people in our county that is needed to transition them to the workforce.” The Gateway staff will be going to Columbus soon to meet with the Ohio Department of Education to get all the details of beginning the new grant.

Local firefighters helped with grant NEW MADISON – Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) recently recognized the New Madison Community Volunteer Fire Company, Inc., which will receive $19,745 in Assistance to Firefighters Grants (AFG) to enhance their operations and enable them to obtain critical life-saving equipment. “Our first responders and firefighters put their lives on the line every day,” Boehner said. “In New Madison, Ohio, their entire force is made of men and women who volunteer for the safety of their community. For our families and farmers in Darke County, it is critical that they have the resources they need.” Rep. Boehner assisted the New Madison Community Volunteer Fire Company in securing competitive grant funding from the Department of Homeland Security’s Fed-

eral Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), so they are able to purchase new equipment, such as a new fire hose. The AFG grant program is dedicated to meeting the emergency response needs of fire departments and other nonaffiliated emergency medical services organizations. This is a competitive grant program and the awards are based on merit. The AFG grant has enabled fire departments to obtain the necessary equipment, protective gear, emergency vehicles, training and other resources needed to protect emergency responders and the public from fire and other related hazards. For more information about receiving help with federal grants, please visit Congressman John Boehner’s constituent services page on JohnBoehner. House.Gov.

The Darke County Humane Society operates a no kill animal shelter at 7299 state route 49 north. Currently the shelter houses 10 dogs and 45 cats, all of whom are looking for homes. The shelter is operated at no tax cost to the community. DCHS is financed entirely by donations and fundraising and has been in operation in Darke County for over 50 years. Currently, there are three OPOTA (Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy) trained humane officers who have been sworn in by the County Common Pleas Court Judge. One of these officers investigates only equine suspected abuse. Officers investigate animal cruelty calls and carry through with prosecution if merited according to humane law. The number of calls varies, however extreme weather is a large factor. Agents are called by law enforcement officials to aid when animals are present and an arrest is to be made. All calls must be investigated. Many cases are heartbreaking for the animals as well as the human beings involved; cats being poisoned by misguided and abused teenagers feeding them antifreeze, senior citizens who love their pets, but have lost the ability to care for them. There are many people who cannot take care of their children, let alone their pets. There are people who live in filth and subject their animals and children to the same. Humane agents witness this day after day. DCHS runs a low cost spay and neuter clinic for cats once a month at 848 Martin Street. At this same location DCHS holds a low cost shot clinic twice a year in May and October.

These clinics are for both cats and dogs. A new endeavor is a TNR (Trap-NeuterRelease) Program for cats. This program is part of a national program for feral or stray cats. The cats are trapped, neutered and released to where they were found. The program eliminates spraying and ﬁghting, while still allowing the cats to roam and kill rodents. The Darke County Humane Society applied and received a grant from Pet Smart Charities to help with this program in targeted areas in Greenville. After the initial year the hope is to expand the program throughout the county. The Darke County Humane Society is in the process of a major shelter renovation to make the environment more animal friendly and easier to care for the animals.

Camp Bearable helps youth deal with loss GREENVILLE – A total of 43 youth attended State of the Heart Hospice’s 15th annual Camp Bearable for grieving children held July 17-19 at the Spiritual Center in Maria Stein. Camp Bearable is an annual weekend camp that serves children who have experienced the death of a loved one. Children grieve differently than adults and have special needs to work through their grief and loss. Children

enjoy traditional camping activities as well as therapeutic opportunities to share and heal their grief. State of the Heart Hospice’s Camp Bearable is the only one of its kind in this area and this year served children from three different Ohio counties and one child from Virginia. Hospice bereavement specialists believe that early intervention with grieving children can prevent prob-

lems such as drug and alcohol addiction and suicide, later in life. Camp provides a “safe” environment for kids where they are surrounded by their peers and with adults they trust. Camp is a mixture of fun and games mixed with serious dialogue. Each child is paired with a specially trained buddy who is with them for the weekend. Ashlee Carder, bereavement specialist and music therapist for State of the Heart Hospice, also serves as the camp director. “Watching the children come to camp at ﬁrst timid and afraid, and leaving with a

sense of empowerment and friendship through this difﬁcult time is one of the most rewarding experiences. We give the children the opportunity to express themselves in a safe environment with positive coping skills.” Carder added that, “without the support of our volunteers, camp would not have been as successful. I am very grateful to everyone involved in camp that made it so successful this year. Seeing the group leaders and buddies create a sense of support and community for these kids makes Camp Bearable so wonderful.” This year, a

panel made of up a physician (Dr. Anna Hatic); a chaplain (Eric Muhlenkamp), and a funeral director (Mary Jo Hellwarth of W.H. Dick & Sons-Hellwarth Funeral Home) listened to questions from the youth, then responded to them. The children were given the freedom to ask whatever was on their mind that they may have been afraid to ask before. Tom O’Neil, family support specialist and social worker for Dayton Children’s Hospital, joined camp this year and led a trust/team building activity. Other activities included making a memory box and balloon launch in

honor of their lost loved one. Music Therapy is unique to Camp Bearable. Amy Pearson, music therapist for State of the Heart Hospice felt it was a deﬁnite highlight of the camp, “Music Therapy is another means of expression for the kids and an additional tool to get them to open up when they may not have in the past.” Music Therapy techniques were altered for each age group. The younger age groups used music to create a song story. Teenagers listened to a song about loss and discussed the lyrics. Cindy Dobmeyer was the welcome speaker

on Friday evening of camp; this was her ﬁrst experience with Camp Bearable. Cindy lost her sister in a car accident on prom night. She spoke on the importance of having a support system. Cindy encouraged the children to “ﬁnd someone to talk to. Even if you feel you can’t go to

your parents, there is always someone else; a friend, a family member or even me.” The dates for next year’s camp are July 15-17. For information about any of the services provided by State of the Heart, visit the agency web site at www.stateoftheheartcare.org.

GHS scores win in Drive to Victory

Last Monday focuses on two area villages VERSAILLES – The Versailles Area Museum’s “Last Monday” program will be held Oct. 26, 1 p.m., at the museum with, for the ﬁrst time ever, two villages. They will reminisce about days gone by in the villages of Brock and Frenchtown. What was it like when you were growing up? Did you go to church or school near here? What stores were in the village? Do you remember playing ball or what you and your families did for

fun? Since it’s almost Halloween, how did you celebrate? Join them for all the interesting tales and conversation that happen at each of these fun ﬁlled events. The afternoon is always capped off with a great dessert and a cool beverage. If you have ideas for programs they want to hear from you! This will end their season until February when they begin their new 2016 season.

Shown are Ruth Nye, cancer patient and Kohl Francis, 11 year old Girl Scout.

Midmark supports Fall for Smiles DAYTON – Midmark Corporation, a leader in innovative equipment solutions within the dental industry, announced its sponsorship of the 2015 Fall for Smiles campaign, which runs through the end of October. Older adults are facing a crisis when it comes to oral health, with 10,000 Americans reaching retirement age every day and no dental coverage available through Medicare. Midmark believes a healthy mouth is essential to maintaining good overall health for older adults and Americans of all ages and is proud to participate in Oral Health America’s (OHA) Fall for Smiles campaign to spread the message of the importance of oral health. The annual Fall for Smiles campaign encourages Americans to keep a healthy mouth through daily brushing and ﬂossing, regular dental visits, a healthy diet and avoiding tobacco products. Midmark’s Vice President and General Man-

ager, Dental Division Eric Shirley stated, “We’re excited to support the Fall for Smiles campaign again this year. It’s a wonderful opportunity for us to partner with Oral Health America and other organizations to help educate people in our community about the importance of oral health. In fact, studies show that dental health is key to overall health. New research continues to demonstrate the link between poor oral health and many chronic health conditions which affect our quality of life.” The campaign’s webpage, oralhealthamerica. org/fallforsmiles, features several free resources for dental ofﬁces, adults and children, including a tip sheet, interactive quiz, oral health activities and customizable materials to help spread the message of the importance of oral health. Midmark encourages everyone to Fall for Smiles this September and October so Americans of all ages have the healthiest mouths possible.
