UC ‘Arts Destination’ kicks off with successful festival

Sonic closes Greenville drive-in GREENVILLE – Greenville residents looking for their “Happy Hour” shake or slushie will have to look elsewhere. The Greenville Sonic Drive-In was one of three area restaurants

closed by Houchens Industries, the franchise operator. Houchens Industries is based in Bowling Green, Ky. The franchise owner reported the stores were closed due to under-

performance. Twenty-two drive-ins remain open in the region and Greenville’s employees will be offered transfers to other Sonic locations.

The county was able to come up with the funds to purchase these buildings and property north of the runway.

Upgrades to airport will take a while V E R SAILLES – Darke County Commissioner Mike Rhoades RYAN BERRY said upManaging Editor grading the bluebagmedia.com Darke County Airport has been an issue since before he took ofﬁce. While the commissioners have moved forward on some individual projects, completion of the upgrades may still be 20 years or more away. The goal of the upgrade is to fulﬁll a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulation that Darke County own all of the property inside the fence and be responsible for every aspect of the operation. Plus, they want to expand the runway to 5,000 feet. Jeff Marshall, community development coordinator for the county, explained until recently much of the property inside the fence was owned by the Spillers. The county only owned the runway and taxiway. That is all changing thanks to a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and administered through the Ohio Department of Transportation’s (ODOT) Aviation Division. Through grants and support from the ODOT, the commissioners have been able to purchase property on the east side of Old State Route 242. ODOT also relinquished control of that state route,

which will ultimately pave the way for the county to extend the runway. More recently, the county was able to use grant money to purchase 29 acres inside the fence at the airport. The property involved in this acquisition includes the four hangers and maintenance building to the north of the taxiway and several acres extending to the east and to the north of the runway. The Spillers family established the airport in the 1960s and turned over a portion of the runway to the county in the 1980s, but a majority of the land and buildings remained property of the Spillers family. According to Marshall and Rhoades, there is still a lot of work to do before the project will be complete. Property to the south of the runway, including the Midmark facility, will need to be purchased to satisfy the FAA requirements. Rhoades was hoping they could eventually use grant money to widen Chase Road from State Route 121 to State Route 242, but commissioners have been told the FAA grant money can’t be used for this purpose. The commissioners will also need to decide the best way to extend the runway across Old State Route 242. The county has been fortunate to continually receive the federal dollars, but Marshall is well

aware that could go away at anytime. Rhoades noted without the funds there is no way the county to could afford to do the project with general fund money. The county is able to save up to three years of grant dollars to be used on one project. The current project, including administration fees, costs nearly $823,000. What’s next for the airport? That isn’t a question Marshall or Rhoades could answer. They know what needs to be done, but it will be up to the FAA to determine the priority. Marshall explained they could be saving up to do one project and a new FAA administrator would come in and reset the priorities for the airport. The county receives approximately $150,000 a year in grant money for the airport. According to Rhoades, the airport is extremely important to Darke County and is more than a recreational airport that runs 24/7 365 days a year. It is also vital to economic development. In addition to Midmark, Continental Carbonics, BASF and Eldora Speedway use the airport frequently. Extending the runway would allow larger airplanes leaving the facility to ﬁll up with more fuel, thus reducing the number of stops they would need to make to get to their destination.

UNION CITY, IN – His message to kids… “You can truly BOB ROBINSON make a difAssociate Editor ference in bluebagmedia.com your lives if you believe you can make a difference.” That thought, tied to the goal of revitalizing Union City, led UC Indiana Mayor Bryan Conklin to begin a ﬁve-year journey that culminated in the Union City Arts Festival Oct. 10-12. “When I was a kid,” Conklin said, “Union City had an employment base for 25,000 workers. They came here to work. We will never have those days again… what do we have to do? We have to reinvent ourselves.” The focus? Arts and youth. So Conklin sent an email to Ball State University. He asked if they would be interested in participating in a program where students could live free and work 20 hours a week… in return they would have to commit to 20 hours a week working on a project or activity of their own. He sent the email three years ago, adding however this had been on his mind for nearly ﬁve years. The big question from Conklin’s perspective was “how can you attract youth back into your community?” At the same time, revitalization was also part of the equation. Conklin noted he had 20 properties available to business owners and entrepreneurs wanting to make an investment in Union City. His message to business? “Join the movement. Be willing to make an investment and we’ll talk incentives.” Conklin said he didn’t hear from Ball State for over a year; when he did they indicated an interest. According Union City Arts Depot Director, Vicki Vardaman, Ball State actually got involved last spring. Their spring arts students planned the festival to the last detail. Their fall

students, with the help of Union City businesses and volunteers, put the plan into action. “It went better than expected (for a ﬁrst time out),” Conklin said. “No problems or blips of any kind. We’re estimating about 1,200 attended over the three days.” He noted this was partially based on one vendor selling over 700 meals in one day. The event, which lasted from 6 p.m. Friday to about 4 p.m. Sunday, involved over 50 activities and entertainers, plus vendors, plus BSU student offerings. “Right now nothing is happening in those vacant buildings. Students can do whatever… activity breeds activity.” What started over the festival weekend can continue as students begin to move into the newly renovated apartments and start work. He noted there are four apartments; at last count he’d been told there have been 75 to 100 applicants for the program. He pointed to a grassy area that will become known as Artisan Crossing. It sits between the back entrance of the student apartments and the Arts Depot. “Two months ago, this was barren, rocky ground,” he said. Future plans include a walkway through the park between the two areas.

According to Conklin, this plan is supported by the business community. The $250,000 expense to date has been locally generated. Local contractors and materials are used. “It reinforces the concept of buying locally,” Conklin said. He added Union City has a great history; it also developed some pretty well-known artists, including Carol Strock Wasson, the military sculptor Joshua Shepherd, Indianapolis DJ Rafael Farias and more. He acknowledged this would take time, but believes it is the right move for Union City. “Check out Padukah, Kentucky,” he said. “In 2000 the problem was prostitution and drugs… today it’s a ﬂourishing art community.” When Conklin took over as mayor seven years earlier he said he lost half of his operating budget. “We were doing the same thing over and over again… the crew was always getting ready to get ready. That had to change.” He added he was also working with Union City, Ohio, on this project. “When people come to Union City they aren’t coming to Union City, Indiana… or Ohio… they’re coming to Union City. We intend to be the Arts Destination of the future.”

portedly admitted to using heroin and advised she’d only just started using the drug. She was transported to Wayne Hospital. Her husband, Scott Dahlstrom, said he didn’t know she had used the drug or had ever used it. An open syringe was found on the bathroom sink, close to where Boling had been lying. Drug abuse charges are pending once hospital records are received. JUVENILE On Oct. 10 police responded to three separate calls regarding a juvenile and the juvenile’s mother. In the ﬁrst two calls the mother indicated the juvenile, who was currently on probation with the Juvenile Court, had been cursing and yelling at her; the second time running through the residence and breaking things. Following the second call the juvenile was supposed to be taken to a relative’s residence for the weekend. The third call involved the juvenile taking prescription pain medications in an attempt to commit suicide. While at Wayne Hospital, the juvenile told police it was no longer possible to deal with the mother. Darke County Mental Health was contacted for evaluation; Juvenile probation was also advised for further action. On Oct. 8 police responded to a ﬁght between two brothers. They reportedly had been in an ongoing argument for the last couple of days. At the time of the call the argument had turned into an altercation where

both individuals were attempting to do bodily harm to the other. The juveniles were taken to Darke County Juvenile Probation where the decision was made to charge them with misdemeanor violations of Domestic Violence. In addition it was decided the two would be living separately with respective parents, at least for the near future. On Oct. 6 police dealt with a fight issue at Greenville High School. One student had been observed punching another student in the hallway between classes. The teacher took both students to the office. Reportedly comments made on Facebook started the incident. The two students were cited for Disorderly Conduct and released to their parents for the remainder of the day. CPO VIOLATION On Oct. 12 police were dispatched regarding a Civil Protection Order (CPO) violation. Police did not immediately locate the suspect, John Haberney, but the two victims, relatives living together, both have CPO’s against him. One victim said Haberney had contacted her via Facebook asking if he could visit their 8-month-old son. She said no. About 10 minutes later Haberney reportedly went to the residence, demanded to see his son and threw rocks at the residence window, then threatened to break their car windows. He fled the scene when advised the police had been called.

Officers located the defendant at his residence, 520 Martin St. The defendant refused to open the door. He was advised several times to open the door. Eventually an officer kicked the door open and they took Haberney into custody. He told officers he was never at the residence, but was then transported to the Darke County jail and issued citations for Violating a Protection Order and Resisting Arrest. ALCOHOL ISSUE On Oct. 11 police were called to Speedway on Wagner Avenue regarding someone who had driven through their grass area adjacent to the parking lot and over a parking block. The defendant, Jeffrey Rice, was sitting in the driver’s seat with numerous beer cans strewn throughout the vehicle. Rice acknowledged he was drunk, he was 20 years old and had been drinking at the Eagles on Shade Road. He decided to come into town for cigarettes. He would never admit to operating a motor vehicle. Consequently he

was issued a citation for Underage Drinking of an Alcoholic Beverage and released to his father. WARRANTS On Oct. 11 police observed Zoe Humphries who had a felony warrant for larceny out of Auglaize County. The ofﬁcer followed the suspect’s vehicle until it came to a stop, at which time Humphries was arrested and transported to Mercer County jail to await a Rule 4 hearing. On Oct. 11 police responded to 325 12th St. regarding an individual refusing to leave a residence. The defendant, Gavin Morrison, was found to have a warrant for his arrest out of Bellefontaine for failure to appear on an original charge of theft. He was arrested and transported to Darke County jail. On Oct. 11 police observed a defendant (unnamed in the report) who had an arrest warrant for failure to comply with serving three days in jail on an original charge of littering. He was arrested and transported to Darke County jail.

Democrats host state candidates BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE – The Darke County Democrats welcomed several hopeful candidates on the ballot in November to their annual dinner, including the candidate running for the second highest position in the state, lieutenant governor. Sharen Neuhardt is the running mate of gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald. Neuhardt addressed the group and her topic was simple. She wanted to get the word out about how bad a job John Kasich was doing in the state. Prior to her speech, Neuhardt told a small group that Kasich has the interests of the top earners in mind, but he isn’t looking out for the average person. “We

need a governor that will pay attention to the agricultural and rural communities,” she said. Why did she decide to seek the position of lieutenant governor? Her answer was one name – Ed Fitzgerald. “He’s going to be a heck of a governor,”

said Neuhardt. The Darke County Democrats also welcomed State Representative candidate for the 80th House District, Jonathan Michalski, and State Senate candidate for the 5th Senate District, Dee Gillis.

Kasich touts future to continue Ohio success BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE – “Here’s the thing,” said Gov. John Kasich, “we all have a sense of those values we were raised with… love, faith, respect for elders and teachers… all the things that matter… that’s the glue that holds us together.” Kasich, who is running for reelection in November, said it was essential to keep Ohio on the same track it’s had the past four years. While others spoke of Ohio’s successes, Kasich chose to focus more on the future and making sure those successes continue. “Eye of the tiger,” he said repeatedly. “We’re counting on a big turnout… we’re in it together. We need everyone’s commitment to help us.” Kasich added while the party was doing well in major races, it has some real battles ahead in some of the local races. He talked about Steve Huffman, candidate for Rep. Richard Adams’ seat in the House, noting he needs everyone’s help to assure election. State Sen. Bill Beagle has a major challenge in front of him as his opponent is focusing more on Dayton and Montgomery County than Miami or Darke Counties. “I want the Eye of the Tiger,” he said again. “We have to get people to vote. We are committed to the value of running from bottom up, not the top down.” Kasich said he was planning an initiative to help third graders with their reading skills. “When seniors help kids read, the kids get better at reading. And seniors are healthier due to their volunteering. If a senior citizen volunteers 100 hours in a year, he or she earns three free credit hours to go to college… “Not interested in going to college? The hours can be transferred to someone else.” He told about 50 supporters the things they

tell the kids can have a big impact… “Let them know they can reach their dreams! Encourage them!” He said the kids have to be helped. “Promoting third graders so they feel good only deprives them of their future.” During the photo opportunities after his speech Kasich had an opportunity to meet Heather Hunt, who is blind. He asked her if she had read the book by Anthony Doerr, “All the Light We Cannot See.” She said she hadn’t; he said he’d see she got it. He then talked about working harder to use the skills of Ohio’s population that is deaf or blind. “They’re smart,” he said, to which she quipped, “Yes, we are!” Heather is the daughter of Jim Hunt, Greenville. Ohio Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor spoke earlier, noting Ohio’s success record. “Four years ago there was little hope,” she said. “When we took ofﬁce Gov. Kasich balanced the budget, cut taxes, returned two billion dollars from Workers Comp and created 250,000 jobs.” She added Kasich’s main focus is jobs, then

noted they are here because grass roots campaigning matters. “We want to win big! Ohio’s in a better place because of the governor.” Ohio Senate President Keith Faber told the group “The other side thinks you won’t show up to vote… the state legislature races are not done. A guy like Bill (Beagle) has made a difference,” he said. “He’s a rock star! He needs you to get out the vote for him.” Faber also added there were two Ohio Supreme Court judges who need Darke County’s vote: Sharon Kennedy and Judith French. “Vote for the women,” he said,

noting they interpret the law. “We can’t afford to go back to the good old days when judges made the laws,” he said. Beagle, Huffman and State Rep. Jim Buchy also spoke to the group. Kasich’s three-day Western Ohio tour included 11 stops from Toledo to Cincinnati. He didn’t take questions from the audience or media.

When You Say You Don’t Have Time to Exercise “I don’t have time to exercise.” We have all heard it – or maybe even said it. Physical activity can do wonders for your body, and it is never too late to start. Even if you are not looking to lose fat or gain muscle, proper nutrition combined with exercise can have a multitude of health beneﬁts including: • Improving cardiovascular health • Improving joint mobility/strength – even if you have arthritis • Improving organ function • Improving skin condition • Reducing fat tissue and increasing muscle tissue • Reducing risk of type 2 diabetes • Improving mood and reducing anxiety • Promoting better sleep • Alleviating back pain • Reducing stress • Improving your selfconﬁdence • Preventing cognitive decline, boosting brain power and sharpening memory • Helping control addiction • Helping to prevent bone loss from osteoporosis • Reducing the risk of

Personal Trainer falling • Helping digestion If you do not already exercise regularly, finding time in your schedule can be overwhelming. There are work, family, and many other demands on our lives. Where does one begin to make the time for exercise? As it is with eating right, the first step is to determine your goal. Is your strength failing and/ or do you have a fear of falling? Do you want to increase your metabolism in order to lose more weight? These are just a few examples. Your goal may be as simple as just finding 15 minutes for yourself in order to sweat and work hard to better manage anxiety and stress levels. My recommendation to clients who are starting out is to start small.

After considering your budget, you may decide a class at a local gym is the way to get started. For some, this is a great way to stay accountable. For others, keeping it at home or with friends who can get together a few times a week is a great way to begin. For most people, resistance training will provide many health beneﬁts more quickly than cardio, including fat loss, if that is your goal. I recommend you start with variations of the following exercises which provide full body beneﬁts, increase muscle mass when performing them with the correct intensity (it needs to be a real challenge), and do not require special equipment: push ups, shoulder presses, pull ups (try these at a local playground on the jungle gym/monkey bars), squats, lunges and deadlifts. Doing a few sets of 10-12 of each of these exercises three days a week is a great place to begin and doesn’t take much time. In fact, it can take 20 minutes or less, including warm up before and stretching after. If you are used to sitting in your chair watching TV, taking a few minutes to do these movements can get you started – and getting started is often the most

Prevent colds and flu before they start Though the holiday season is a joyous time of year, itÕs also one when many people succumb to cold and flu. Spending so much time indoors in close proximity to others can increase a personÕs susceptibility to flu and cold, so itÕs no surprise that the holiday season, when many people spend lots of time celebrating indoors with family and friends, marks the unofficial start to cold and flu season. Despite what Mom might have told you about going out into the cold with a wet head or leaving home without wearing a coat, such actions do not increase your risk for cold and flu. But being cooped up indoors, where germs from others who are sick can fester, can increase that risk. Cold weather also can be a factor, but not for the reason you think. According to a 2007 study from researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, the influenza virus is more stable and can stay in the air longer when the air is cold and dry. Dr. Peter Palese, a flu researcher who is professor and chairman of the schoolÕs microbiology department, examined guinea pigs infected with the flu virus to determine the connection between the flu and cold weather. Dr. Palese varied the air temperature and humidity in the guinea pigsÕ environment and determined that flu transmission was best at 41 F, while the prevalence of transmisGo to

sion declined as the temperature rose. By the time temperatures reached 86 F, the virus was not transmitted at all. Low humidity also helped transmit the virus, and high humidity stopped the spread. Flu viruses spread through the air in water droplets expelled from sick individualsÕ noses and mouths. High humidity may cause these droplets to fall to the ground before they can infect someone else. Colds are largely transmitted through surface contact with the virus or direct contact with a sick individual. The cold virus is then contracted on the hands and typically transferred to the nose, eyes or mouth through inadvertent touching of these areas. Spending time indoors in close quarters with other people, which is more common in the winter, can facilitate the spread of colds as well as the ﬂu virus. There are many ways to reduce your risk of contracting a cold or the ﬂu

virus this winter. Perhaps no preventive measure is more effective than getting a flu shot. In addition, wash your hands frequently to prevent the spread of germs, and disinfect remote controls, computer keyboards, tablets, mobile phones, and other items that are handled by multiple people on any given day. In addition, spend as much time outdoors as possible so you can escape potentially contaminated indoor air. If you come down with the flu, increase the humidity in your home by running the shower with the door open, using a recreational aquarium or boiling pots of water. Maintain a warm indoor temperature to reduce the likelihood that the flu virus will spread. Other ways to reduce your risk for cold and flu include: • maintaining a healthy diet • getting several minutes of sunlight per day • exercising regularlly

difficult part. Exercising 20 minutes a day, three times a week is only an hour out of your week or less than 1% of your week – yes, less than 1%! Adding a walk around the block most days of the week can improve your health even more. Adding stretching/flexibility training offers additional health benefits and does not require much time. But the most important thing to remember about exercise is that you need to be consistent in making exercise a priority (like any other important appointment you make), and need to increase the intensity (adding difficulty) over time in order for your body to reap the benefits. The body adapts to exercise and needs more intensity to maintain improvements. Make sure to get the okay from your healthcare professional before starting an exercise program. I could go on and on about exercise, but I will leave that for another month. In the meantime, start something -- get moving – do something! It is recommended you consult with your healthcare professional in advance of starting a new exercise program or when changing diet.

Easy Italian Spaghetti Squash 1 spaghetti squash 1 Tbs of coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil 1 medium yellow onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1 red pepper, chopped 2 medium chopped tomatoes Sea salt and pepper to taste Shredded cheese to top each serving

Preparing spaghetti squash (Can be done in advance: To prepare the spaghetti squash, clean the outside and poke holes in the skin (to vent it). Place on a tray and bake whole at 350F for approximately 30-45 minutes (less if small, more if large squash). When the skin is able to be pushed in slightly, remove the squash from the oven and let it cool a bit. Cut lengthwise, scoop out the seeds with a spoon and discard. Using a fork with the points down into the flesh of the squash all the way to the skin, pull the fork along the length of the squash and remove all the “spaghetti” and place in a bowl. Continue with recipe or refrigerate for plating later. In a non-stick skillet, heat the oil at medium temperature. Add the garlic, onion, and peppers. Cook until onions are translucent, stirring frequently (about 5 minutes). Stir in the tomatoes and let cook for 2 minutes. Add the spaghetti squash and stir gently. Cook until the spaghetti squash is heated. Add the salt and pepper to taste and serve, finishing with the cheese sprinkled on top (optional).

My secrets to cooking this dish: Add other vegetables (mushrooms, eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, etc), add as much vegetables as you want (I like to create a colorful meal) and add baked chicken for a protein. There are no rules! Other than the baking time for the squash (when you can be exercising), this dish is quick to prepare – under 20 minutes. Make extra for delicious leftovers.

Avoid Halloween makeup allergies and other reactions What are the horrors of Halloween? Many might say encountering a gruesome ghoul or a blood-sucking vampire is the most horriﬁc part of Halloween. However, an allergic reaction can be just as scary as ghosts and goblins come Halloween. The candy a child eats, the makeup kids use as part of their costumes or even the costume itself can cause an allergic reaction. Parents and kids need to be careful and exercise their due diligence to avoid possible allergens. Makeup According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, Halloween makeup can trigger an allergic reaction or symptoms of asthma. Inexpensive makeup may contain preservatives that can cause a rash and swelling of the skin. Formaldehyde is a very common preservative used in many of these products, but some products labeled “formaldehyde-free” can still cause allergic reactions. Certain makeup is not advisable to use around the mouth or eyes, so be certain to check all packaging for any warnings. High-quality the-

ater makeup may be a better option than the cheap crayon sticks sold at costume stores. In any event, always test makeup on a small area of the skin well in advance of Halloween. If a rash or any abnormality occurs, do not use the makeup. Costumes Costumes can induce an allergic reaction as well. If costumes are older and packed away in a basement or attic, trapped dust and dust mites can make it difﬁcult for those with allergies or asthma to breathe. Accessories used for many common Halloween costumes also may cause reactions. Crowns, magic wands and faux jewelry that uses metals like nickel may cause rashes and irritation. Beware of nickel and cobalt, which can trigger allergic reactions. Decorations Those who want to create a spooky environ-

ment at their Halloween parties should be advised that fog machines can trigger asthma attacks in some people. ItÕs best to check with party attendants before ﬁring up the fog machine. Edible treats Food allergies abound in children and adults. Many commercially produced candy and chocolate bars are manufactured in factories that also process peanuts and other tree nuts, so exercise caution with treats. Baked goods may contain wheat, gluten, eggs, soy, and any number of other food allergens. ItÕs wise to have a variety of inedible treats available for trick-ortreaters or party-goers, including stickers, pencils and small toys. Halloween should be an enjoyable day for the young and the young at heart. This beloved holiday can be made safer by avoiding common allergy triggers.

Supporting Renewal As a resident of the Arcanum-Butler Local School District, I offer my support for the “renewal” of the .75% income tax. Upon the completion of the new school building in 2011, it was suspected that the District would need an increase in tax revenues. However, because of good ﬁscal management and wise leadership from the Administration and School Board, this has not been the case. While holding the line on expenditures, the quality of education

provided to our students has continued to be excellent. We have consistently had state report cards that rank at the top of all schools in the State of Ohio. We are truly an excellent rural school district that prepares our students for higher education or the workforce. We are getting a very good “bang for our bucks”. Please remember that this is a renewal not an increase! Please vote yes for this renewal in support of our students. Phillip R. Garbig Arcanum

Enforcing trade laws to boost exports When I travel across O h i o , I hear f r o m business SHERROD o w n BROWN ers who U.S. SENATOR have successfully expanded their companies, created jobs, and sold their products in foreign markets. In 2013, Ohio exports totaled a record-breaking $50.8 billion. To quantify that, every $1 billion in exports supports nearly 5,000 domestic jobs. And in Ohio, more than one quarter of our state’s manufacturing jobs rely on exports. Last week, I joined United States Trade Representative Michael Froman in a visit to Jet, Incorporated; a small business in Cleveland that is creating jobs by designing, manufacturing, and exporting innovative wastewater treatment systems to 33 countries all over the world. Exports comprise more than 20 percent of Jet’s sales and, in 2012, the company received the President’s “E” Award for making a signiﬁcant contribution to the expansion of U.S. exports. Companies like Jet, Inc. are the reason that U.S. exports reached $2.3 trillion in 2013, a new record for a fourth straight year. Last month, Congress agreed on a shortterm reauthorization for the Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im Bank). This important entity, which offers loans, guarantees, and insurance for American businesses seeking to export their products, will now be funded through June 30, 2015. While I’m relieved funding did not lapse for the ExIm Bank, I am worried that this short-term reauthorization will create uncertainty for Ohio businesses who are looking to sell goods overseas. Our foreign competitors in Europe and Asia know that

their versions of ExIm Bank will be there for them. We need to provide our businesses with the same certainty. That’s why I plan to work with my Senate colleagues on a longterm solution for the Ex-Im Bank when Congress reconvenes. In addition to boosting American exports, we need to address unfair foreign imports made in countries that violate international trade law. When countries undervalue their currency or flood the market with underpriced goods, it is Ohio workers and suppliers who pay the price. In July, I went before the International Trade Commission (ITC) on behalf of Ohio’s steel tube workers and businesses, testifying that the influx of cheap foreign Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) hurt the competiveness of Ohio manufacturers and threatened the jobs of their workers. Because foreign countries were pricing their OCTG below market value, an unfair and illegal trade practice, American companies were being shut out. In August, the ITC ruled that six countries had illegally “dumped” their goods in the U.S. market and levied trade tariffs against the offending countries. Supporting Ohio’s workers and suppliers requires a commitment to trade enforcement and export strategies. Trade enforcement means ensuring a level playing field for Ohio manufacturers by defending them from unfair trade practices, and supporting export strategies means creating and maintaining jobs for manufacturing communities across the state and nation. By supporting the Ex-Im Bank and enforcing our nation’s trade laws, we can help Ohio businesses explore new markets and new opportunities.

Our teens have huge hearts Grumpy Side of 60 by Bob Robinson Associate Editor bluebagmedia.com

“Mr. Robinson Mr. Robinson!!” Hey, buddy… what’s up? “Mr. Robinson I saw you on the news!” I looked quizzically at the ﬁrst grader. “What do you mean on the news?” He grinned. “I saw your face on our paper! You were right there in front!” Aahh... “You mean you saw my picture in The Early Bird?” “Yeah! In the paper!” I get a lot of feedback on my stories; also this column. Editor Berry does, too. It’s one of the hazards of the trade. Mine? “I love your stories about the kids. They’re so cute!” Ryan’s? “How come your wife hasn’t divorced you?” Actually, Editor Berry beats up on his kids more than he does his wife. If I were one of them, I’d sue him for emotional abuse. Feedback is fun, but I’d never gotten any before from a ﬁrst grader. About

now, eight weeks later, it pops up again. Blank stares again. “What does synergy mean?” Maybe one or two in the class can tell me. And these are sharp kids! Some students are always up. Always have a smile. First to speak in class… even if they don’t know the answer. Or the question. Others are shy and retiring. I have two young ladies this fall who never smile. Not too long ago I challenged them. Come on… smile! I’d get a tentative smile… “See? You have a beautiful smile. Now how hard was that?” They smiled again; now they’re actually starting to open up a little in class. Just a little. A work in progress but well worth it. I also have one guy who never smiles. I can’t tell him he has a beautiful smile; he’d probably hit me. Still working on that one. There’s one concept that seems to be elusive to both teens and adults… critical thinking. I provide a scenario and ask them

what they would do. Almost without exception they’re happy to tell me… without knowing all the facts. You’re driving home after work. A small boy is playing in the street. He’s not dressed for the weather and there’s pretty heavy trafﬁc that time of day. What do you do? Take the boy a blanket. Ask him where his mom and dad are. Call 911. The answers are varied and many… but they forgot to do one thing. Ask questions. What time of day? What time of year? Where are you? Are there any adults around? I learned something about several of my students recently… they all have huge hearts and they care deeply about the little ones, even to the point of ignoring their own safety. One of them, after ﬁnding out I was talking about a dangerous neighborhood, said she’d get out of the car, whisk the child up, take him back to the car and drive him to safety! “You would really kidnap a child to save him?” I asked. Oops!

Reducing nutrient loading in Ohio Lake Erie covers almost 10,000 square miles and serves as a source JIM BUCHY of pride OHIO REPRESENTATIVE for the State of Ohio. Acting as the north coast of Ohio, this lake is a natural landmark known throughout North America and beyond. Keeping the water in the lake potable and healthy is an important task that all Ohioans should be a part of. Lake Erie is a major source of tourism in the state with activities such as boating, ﬁshing, bird watching and site seeing. The impact of the lake on the water supply is sometimes overlooked—but the lake provides 2.6 million people with drinking water. In west central Ohio, we have been aware of concerns over our natural waterways for several years because of Grand Lake St. Marys. Our farmers are working together to reduce their impact

on Ohio waterways. By constructing proper storage facilities for manure and increasing exports of manure, when possible, local farmers are making strides forward to reduce the impact of agriculture on water quality. Along the lake, I am hearing about business owners changing their practices as well. Each step taken to reduce phosphorous loading is bringing us closer to a healthier lake long term. Following the recent water crisis in Toledo, those in the Lake Erie watershed are looking to west central Ohio for proven practices that have successfully reduced runoff. As recently as June 2014, Governor Kasich signed Senate Bill 150, which will lead to more opportunities for those in the agricultural community to remain educated on the latest practices that will reduce the overloading of nutrients on Ohio’s farm land. When 400,000 people were temporarily left without drinking water in the Toledo area, the Gov-

ernor dove right in and asked his cabinet to work on solutions. As a result of their ongoing work, Ohio farmers will be the recipients of $1.25 million to mitigate future water quality issues by planting cover crops or installing controlled drainage devices that protect against nutrient runoff. Additionally, $150 million in zero-interest loans is being made available to local water plants to upgrade their local drinking water and wastewater treatment facilities to reduce any negative impacts outdated systems may be having on Ohio’s waterways. Lastly, $2 million will be made available to Ohio universities for further research on algae blooms. There is much work to be done in the research arena to determine causes and study solutions to water quality issues. I will continue working with the Governor, state agencies, and local ofﬁcials to ﬁnd ways to reduce nutrient loading in Ohio waterways and improve the quality of water

ten minutes later… “Mr. Robinson Mr. Robinson! I saw you in the paper… You’re famous!” In the last two weeks no less than a half dozen Woodland students, even one at East, has noticed me in the paper. Not sure why all the sudden now, but I’m delighted they know what a newspaper is. Do they actually read the stories, though? I decided to ﬁnd out. I commented to one of them… “Yes, sweety, I write stories for the Early Bird. When you saw my picture did you read the story?” “Naw… too many big words!” Not at all surprising. Unfortunately, that’s also what some of my high school kids at Edison tell me. I forget some of the words I’ve used – they just pop out of my mouth when we’re having a discussion; but I do remember one from the beginning of the term… synergy – I saw the blank stares… “Do you know what synergy means?” Heads moved back and forth. So I deﬁned the word… even

The best year of my life… yet!

BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE – “My admiration for the fair queens started when I was nine,” said Jenna King, 2013 Junior Fair Queen. “The fair queen gave me a ribbon… I was in shock that the queen would give me a ribbon.” Jenna, an Edison Community College Communications 121 Public Speaking student, was giving a “speech” presentation to Kiwanis of Greenville. She told them involvement in fair Royalty was a family thing… her oldest brother was a second runner-up king. Her second oldest, Lucas, was the 2012 Junior Fair King. She went to her ﬁrst pageant at the age of 12, then at 15 became the youngest member of the court for which she was responsible. Jenna remembered the interview process.

There were three people, all from outside the county. When it was her turn, her brother opened the door to the interview room and said, “Go hard on her… she’s a tough one!” then shut the door behind her. “The interview was mostly interaction,” she said. “However, I found out later the signiﬁcance of two chairs in front of the judges… you were supposed to take the one closest to them.” She remembers thinking she’d just go for the fun of it, then try again next year. All she hoped for was to make the Top 7 out of 16 contestants. She did. The stress eased up. They named Third Runnerup, then Second, then First… “Then they said, now the 2013 Darke County Youth Fair Queen, Jenna King! “I was just sitting there, clapping, when the girl next to me nudged me… ‘Get up!’ she said. I was shocked!”

Jenna King, 2013 Youth Fair Queen

Now what? “The 2012 Queen handed me a notebook… a huge notebook listing all of my responsibilities,” she said. “I was stressed out. Everyone was saying awesome… they were all excited… I was freaking out.” Jenna talked about the following year… 12 fairs all over the state – the furthest one was four hours away – then there were the parades. “Coldwater takes their cold water parades seriously… they got my third runner-up king.” She noted her crown and sash made her a target for visitors… “Everyone’s eyes were on me.” Darke County Fair memories included judging, 4H shows, the cheer contest… “I got

to meet Florida Georgia Line and Montgomery Gentry.” One day, Monday, she had to change her wardrobe six times. “I got to ride in the sled during the Truck and Tractor Pull, take part in the golf cart races… riding the Pacer Car at the horse races,” she said. She added she was able to experience other fairs and bring those ideas back to Darke County. Jenna remembered being told her Junior Fair King Logan Moody was going to be her best friend… “Just don’t fall in love with him.” It turned out he was her best friend, and had nothing but praise for her Royal Court. “We had great chemistry,” she said. “We even wrapped up the year with a court cook-out.” Her ﬁnal ofﬁcial duty was – with only a hint of satisfaction – handing the “notebook” to 2014 Junior Fair Queen Jenna Cline and telling her she was in charge. “It was an extremely busy year,” Jenna said. “It was the best year of my life yet!”

BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE – Most school districts have Students of the Month – often at various grade levels, depending on the district. Requirements? Pretty much similar, with good grades as the starting point. At East School, Trevor Mardin not only has good grades, but he got caught ‘being good.’ “I didn’t think I’d get Student of the Month just because I helped someone,” the third grader said. “I did it because it was the right thing to do.” Trevor was ‘caught’ helping a fellow student who had spilled his pencil box. “Other kids just walked by,” he said. Trevor stopped and helped him pick up the pencils. “Trevor is a ﬁne young man,” said East Principal Kitty Zumbrink. “He’s kind to his teach-

ers and students, always has a smile on his face.” She added he was a hard worker and “signiﬁes what we want East to represent.” “I only just got it (S.O.M. for October) Wednesday,” Trevor said. “It feels good.” He noted the other kids tease him a little. “They think it’s a big deal… they say ‘oh look out, here comes our Student of the Month’.” Teasing? Jealous? Trevor shrugged. “Maybe a little of both.” Trevor’s favorite subjects are math and science, however his goal is to become a baseball player. “I like ﬁrst base… I want to play for the Reds.” As East S.O.M. Trevor receives a free pizza from The Don’s Pizza. His message to other students is “it’s always important to help others… you should risk your life for others. It makes you a hero.”

OSGOOD – Kelsey DeMange and Sean Withrow exchanged marriage vows on Aug. 2, 2014, at St. Nicholas Catholic Church in Osgood. The celebratory Mass, officiated by Fr. David Zink, included 12 musicians and 25 vocalists. The 1920s Hollywood themed wedding offered an opportunity not only for the wedding party to commemorate that era by wearing the fashions of the Roaring 20s, but also encouraged the guests to participate in dressing the theme. The flair of those daysgone-by was continued with the dinner music and unique decorations at Osgood American Legion Hall. That evening, the floor was filled with guests of the DeManges and Withrows as they danced to the music of Empty Tank. The bride is the daughter of Ken and Angie DeMange of Versailles. Her grandparents are Carl and Linda Meyer of Versailles, and the late Paul and Helen DeMange, also of Versailles. The groom is the son of Rob and Sue Withrow of Beavercreek. His grandparents are the late Chang Hun Son and Chang Soon Lee, and Sarah Withrow and the late Rev. Edward Merlin Withrow. The bridesmaids enhanced the 1920s Hollywood theme by wearing glass beaded flapper dresses and head bands featuring a vintage brooch. Bailey DeMange served as Maid of Honor for her sister, Kelsey. Other bridesmaids included Jacqlyn Combs, Sister of Groom, Heidi DeMange, Sister-in-law of Bride, Allison Eiting, Friend of Couple, Elizabeth Coons, Cousin of Bride, and Josalyn Withrow, Sister-in-law

Fresh Spirit

Fresh Spirit sings at Pitsburg COB PITSBURG – The Pitsburg Church of the Brethren will host a concert by Fresh Spirit on Nov. 2, 6 p.m. Fresh Spirit was originally a group of three sisters – Linda, Marilyn, and Pattie – who grew up traveling and singing as part of the Brewer Family. When Marilyn decided to return to her home in Tennessee, Linda and Pattie felt strongly their ministry should continue. During this time, God was working on another of His children who had a similar background as the Brewer’s – born and raised to travel and sing. Having sung with her family for nearly 35 years until her father’s homegoing, Tish Newland was searching for the job God would provide for the next chapter of her life. As only He can, God brought the three ladies together, and gave them harmony not only in voice, but in their hearts as well. Thus, Fresh Spirit was reborn

and rededicated to the mission of lifting up the Body of Christ by sharing God’s goodness and love through song. In early 2012, led by the Lord to come off the road, sister Pattie announced her retirement and agreed to stay on until the Lord’s choice for the group could be found. Their search led them to Sarah Hatﬁeld, a young woman from the Dayton area with a beautiful voice and the desire to use it for the Lord. Sarah’s debut appointment with them in August 2012, and she’s been hanging in there ever since. These three ladies, along with their tremendous “sound man.” Stan Covert (Linda’s better half), are Fresh Spirit. The church is located at the west edge of Pitsburg at 8376 PitsburgLaura Road, Arcanum. The public is always welcome to these concerts. For more information, call Bruce at 564-2891.

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; On Oct. 26, kids of all shapes and sizes dressed as princesses, cowboys and superheroes will converge on EUM Worship Center for S.H.I.N.E., a community wide alternative to traditional Trick or Treat. S.H.I.N.E. is short for Share His Incredible News Everywhere and is hosted by Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ministry at EUM Church. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great way for kids and families from all over Darke County and beyond to participate in a safe, secure event that not only offers the fun, costumes and candy of a traditional Trick or Treat, but also conveys a great message of faith. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;Animals Of The Bible.â&#x20AC;? The area surrounding the Worship Center will be transformed into a fall festival including a storytelling arena where kids and their parents will move through twelve different stations. Each station will tell stories of animals and their impact in the Bible. The kids will be given candy that represents the story just told. By the time they have moved through all stations, each child will not only have collected lots of candy, but more importantly, learn a little more about Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word. EUM will be expanding their festival this year to include more games, activities and inďŹ&#x201A;atables. There will also be the very popular hayride to the pumpkin patch where every child will pick a pumpkin to

decorate. (Weather permitting). They are very excited to announce their inside entertainment on stage in the Worship Center. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main act will be nationally known ventriloquist David Crone from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m No Dummy Productions.â&#x20AC;?

His performance times are 5:15 and 6:15 p.m. Miss Julie from the Greenville Public Library will be doing storytelling and the EUM Youth Band will be performing, as well.

YFC invites all to Come to the Party! GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Most people know about the many problems going on in our world, and young people living in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;world of teenagersâ&#x20AC;? experience numerous challenges of their own. Yet, in the midst of even the most dire and tragic circumstances, God is at work and there is much to celebrate. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the theme of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Youth for Christ Report to the People and Fundraising Banquet is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come to the Party!â&#x20AC;? This year, you are invited to come and help celebrate the lives of teenagers that are being changed by God as kids are ministered to by those involved with Youth for Christ. From the moment you walk into the All Seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Place at the Lighthouse Christian Center on Nov. 17 or 18, 6:30 p.m., youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll notice this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a typical YFC banquet. As you walk in the door youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll notice balloons and party favors, later to be complimented by cake and ice cream, and â&#x20AC;Ś well, perhaps there are some things youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just have to come and see. In any case, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Youth for Christ banquet promises to be a festive occasion where they savor and celebrate the good that is taking place. After a delicious meal prepared by Catering by Michael, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;centerpieceâ&#x20AC;? of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;partyâ&#x20AC;? will be the sto-

ries shared by those whose lives have been touched by God while involved with YFC. At the banquet you will hear from several teenagers who are now walking a different path because of what Jesus has done in their lives. But even thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all there is to celebrate! You will also hear from some adults who have added life to their stories as they invested in kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives along with YFC. With a dash of music and drama mixed into the celebration the evening promises all of the ingredients of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;real treatâ&#x20AC;? for you to experience. But the celebration doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to end with the completion of the program. Guests will be encouraged to celebrate Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;gift of lifeâ&#x20AC;? every single day and commit themselves to sharing that â&#x20AC;&#x153;lifeâ&#x20AC;? with those who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet experienced it. Every adult is invited to attend one of the YFC banquets. In fact, you can even host a table and invite a handful of friends to come along. There is no charge to attend or to host a table thanks to generous businesses and individuals who underwrite the event, however reservations are required. Call Youth for Christ at 548-2477 or e-mail office@yfcmiamivalley. org for reservations and make plans to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come to the Party!â&#x20AC;?

The comfort I have is knowing I will see you one day, To be able to hug you, tell you I love you and a lot I will want to say. There are so many changes since you were here, But one thing that will never change is how much I love you, dear. Knowing where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at and the perfect love you have from our Heavenly Father, Is what I want for my precious daughter. I LOVE YOU, SHELLY, Hugs and kisses, Mom and Your Family

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; When Erika Smith began looking for a job, she knew exactly what she wanted. Erika loves working with senior adults and has a heart for serving them. Her desire to work in a residential healthcare center in laundry and/ or housekeeping blossomed when she began volunteering in the laundry department for a local business. Erika felt this type of work was a perfect ďŹ t for her. Although she has vision impairment, she has not let it impede her eagerness to work. In late November 2013, Erika began working with the Community First Department (CF) within the Darke County Board of Developmental Disabilities. The CF department works to assist individuals with learning job skills, applying for jobs, and providing on-the-job training. Erika had held jobs in the past, but they were not a ďŹ t for her. She worked in a garden department, food service, and cared for children. She explained to CF staff her aspiration to work in a residential healthcare center in laundry and/ or housekeeping. Before beginning her job search, Erika began one-on-one classes to learn to create a resume and gain interviewing skills. Erika took the advice of CF staff to heart, practiced at home, and applied what she learned to improve her interviewing skills. Her positive attitude and hard work paid off, and she began the next step in her journey by starting the job search

Erika enjoys helping and interacting with residents at Village Green.

process. With a clear goal in mind, Erika worked with the CF staff to apply and interview for a position at Village Green Healthcare Center. Erika believed it could be her â&#x20AC;&#x153;dream job,â&#x20AC;? and although she was nervous when she interviewed with Nick Anderson, executive director, she was prepared. She was offered a position as a laundry/ housekeeping aide in July 2014. Her excitement for the position continues, and Erika will tell you, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the people I am working with...the residents and the staff. I love helping people.â&#x20AC;? Nick says that Erika ďŹ ts in well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has a good sense of humor which is important here because we like to work hard and play hard.â&#x20AC;? Nick adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;She impacts every resident that she works with here. Some residents even wait for her at the door when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working.â&#x20AC;? When asked what Erika brings to their staff Nick expressed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Erika exempliďŹ es our organizational stan-

dards, especially customer service and customer satisfaction. She has a challenging job, because everyone has a different idea of what is clean. Erika does a good job of satisfying everyone she serves.â&#x20AC;? In October, Erika will be transitioning with the residents and staff to Village Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new location at 1315 Kitchen Aid Way, Greenville. Everyone there is looking forward to their Open House on Oct. 19 from 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 3 p.m. October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month which focuses on the statement, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Expect. Employ. Empower.â&#x20AC;? When asked what he would tell other employers who might consider hiring someone with a disability, Nick says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a company has a mission and they value good employees, they should take a leap of faith.â&#x20AC;? Businesses interested in learning more about partnering with the Darke County Board of DD can contact Rodney Willis, Community First Director at 937-548-9057 or rodneyw@darkedd.org.

Versailles Health Care Center would like to congratulate its staff on winning the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/ NCAL) Silver National Quality Award! The award was presented to Kristy Earick, Executive Director, and Dana Spurlock, Director of Nursing at Versailles Health Care Center during AHCA/NCAL’s 65th Annual Convention and Exposition, October 5-8, 2014, in Washington, D.C.. Implemented by AHCA/NCAL in 1996, the National Quality Award Program is centered on the core values and criteria of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program. The program assists providers of long term and post-acute care services in achieving their performance excellence goals. The program has three levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Centers begin the quality improvement process at the Bronze level and must receive an award at each level before proceeding to the next. As a recipient of the Silver – Achievement in Quality Award, Versailles Health Care Center has demonstrated systematic advancements in quality, plans for continual improvement, and sustainable organizational goals. Versailles Health Care Center may now move forward in developing approaches and achieving performance levels that meet the criteria required for the Gold – Excellence in Quality Award, which requires them to address the Baldrige Health Care Criteria for Performance Excellence in its entirety. “I am proud that Versailles Health Care Center is standing among the ranks of other centers that are delivering quality care,” said Kristy Earick, Executive Director at Versailles Health Care Center. “I commend our staff for receiving the Silver-level award this year!” Versailles Health Care Center, a skilled nursing and rehabilitation center, offers short-term rehab services, outpatient therapy, and long-term care. Versailles Health Care Center sent home 166 patients that utilized its short-term rehab services in 2013 and 145 so far in 2014!

TO VHCC EMPLOYEES

Ansonia’s grant for safe school routes ANSONIA – The Village of Ansonia plans to complete a sidewalk improvement project along the north side of East Canal Street from Main Street to the Ansonia School campus. This project will include the replacement of existing sidewalks and the installation of a new sidewalk along the front of the school campus along with placement of ADA compliant curb ramps. The construction is anticipated to take place in 2016. The proposed project will not impact any cul-

tural resources, suspect hazardous waste sites or result in substantial impacts to ecological resources. The project will not result in substantial impacts to the environment either individually or cumulatively. The project will include the removal of trees in the right-of-way that currently impact the infrastructure or that will hamper construction activities. Existing retaining walls may also be rebuilt if they are unstable or interfere with the location of the proposed improvements.

During construction, one-lane trafﬁc may be maintained. The project is expected to be completed by Sept. 15, 2016. The project cost is estimated at $315,000. A Public Involvement Meeting will be held for any affected and interested residents on Oct. 21, 7 p.m., at the Ansonia Municipal Building. Questions and/or comments regarding this project may also be submitted by Nov. 15, 2014 to Village Administration Thomas Welbaum at admin@ansoniaohio.us or 202 North Main St., Ansonia, Ohio 45303.

Breast health is topic at Reid RICHMOND, Ind. – Breast health is the featured topic at the next My Reid Wellness Update, a free continuing series at Reid Hospital. Presenter Thomas Grayson, M.D., will encourage women to be proactive about their breast health, and will share information about cancer prevention and early detection. The presentation will take place from noon to 1 p.m. on Oct. 20. One in 10 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in life. The good news is that when breast cancer is diagnosed early, it often can be treated more successfully than cancer diagnosed in the late stages of disease. “Screening mammograms and monthly self-breast exams save lives, but unfortunately not enough women are consistent about participating in these activities,” said Dr. Grayson, a surgeon who is a member of the American Society of Breast Surgeons and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Sometimes, the issue is anxiety—women aren’t

sure what they are looking for when they do a selfexam. “I tell women that they simply need to look for changes in the breast,” Dr. Grayson said. “Health care providers don’t expect them to diagnose anything, just alert us to anything new or different.” Sometimes, the issue is cost—women fear that if they ﬁnd a lump, they will face high medical bills related to further testing and possibly treatment. While acknowledging that the cost can be signiﬁcant, Dr. Grayson urges women to take their risk of breast

cancer seriously and do all they can to detect any problems early. “You can’t put a price tag on your life or your health,” he explained. In addition to talking about the steps women can take to detect breast cancer, Dr. Grayson will talk about some of the tests physicians use to diagnose breast cancer and plan treatment. This presentation will take place in Lingle Auditorium on the hospital’s lower level. Please preregister no later than 10 a.m., Oct. 20, by calling (765) 983-3230.

BSU students offer a nontraditional look at art UNION CITY, IND – “I enjoy talking to kids,” Kelsie Selch said. “I told BOB ROBINSON them there Associate Editor was a dragon bluebagmedia.com back there,” she added, grinning. “Really had them going there for a while.” Kelsie was one of several Ball State University students who spent the weekend at the Union City Arts Festival. She and three fellow students set up shop to demonstrate and discuss their art with festival visitors. They were using a property on Columbia Street that is available to businesses interested in starting up in or relocating to Union City. Their art would be considered by some to be nontraditional. Kelsie works with neon tubes… “Lots of neon!” She loves being able to draw with light

sticks. “You get a clear tube, bend it and pump neon into it. It makes them glow.” Among other things, she set up a bedding area surrounded by her neon “sticks.” Another student, James Schwab, is an artist interested in exploring human sexuality. In his art he tries to show the “feelings of shame and pleasure associated with sexual expression.” Claire Thomas, an art major at Ball State, is the group’s Party Yoga girl. “I would love to be able to give an art show and teach Yoga to the public,” she said. She hopes to be able to practice some of her skills over the Arts Festival weekend. Kelsie and Claire were dressed informally, while James stood out due to his height (appx. 6’7” tall) and costume; also standing out was Sarah LaBarge, who was dressed as a witch. She said her job was simply to put the

weekend event together for the group. None of these students were likely to take advantage of Union City’s offer of free rent and part-time work in return for practicing their creative arts. Upon graduation each had other plans; Kelsie and Claire, for instance, were both planning to head west to more mountainous and desert terrains. “This just isn’t my demographic,” Kelsie said. “I need the mountains… the desert” She added she’d like to work in a glass studio in the winter and have a “cool” adventure job in the summer. The students were pleased with the trafﬁc they’d had so far during the weekend. “We’ve had all ages in here,” Kelsie said. “The older folks?” She grinned. “They don’t really know what to do… or say.” She added, however, there were no negatives. “Everyone’s been so nice.”

DARKE COUNTY – Several county ﬁre and rescue departCLINTON RANDALL ments, the Staff Writer Darke Counbluebagmedia.com ty Sheriff’s Ofﬁce, local businesses and organizations all gathered Saturday, Oct. 11 for the Doug Wright Open at White Springs Golf Course near Greenville. The golf outing was sponsored by the Liberty Township Fire Department to

raise money for their fellow firefighter and friend, Doug Wright who was diagnosed with prostate cancer in May. Wright has been a firefighter since 1968 and is the current Asst. Chief of Liberty Township. His brothers in the department came together to help out by holding the golf outing and a chicken BBQ in September. “If all goes right, the 2nd annual Doug Wright Open will be sometime in June 2015, so it will be a

little warmer. We will find another public service member in Darke county to help out,” said county dispatcher, volunteer firefighter and event organizer Myles Stump. “It has been a blessing and honor to help our brothers and sisters when they need it!” The team of Rick Jenkinson, Kent Blocher and Pat Miller took first place overall and won $300, which like most all other winners donated the cash back to Doug.

Trilogy cuts ribbon on Village Green; open house today GREENVILLE – The residents of Village Green Healthcare Center are packing their belongings in preparation for a move they have been eagerly anticipating for nearly two years. On Oct. 16, Trilogy Health Care and the Village Green cut the ribbon on the new facility. Residents are expected begin moving in within the next month. While the residents’ journey may be short in distance, the difference in their new home is immeasurable. Village Green Health Campus offers a full continuum of senior living and related health care services, including assisted living, short-term rehabilitation, memory care and long-term care; all offered in a homelike setting that features an abundance of private rooms with private baths, chef-prepared meals, and services specially tailored to meet residents’ individual preferences. Village Green Health Campus replaces Village Green Healthcare Center (formerly Gade Nursing Home), which Trilogy Health Services acquired in 2012. Village Green Heath Campus is located at 1315 KitchenAid Way, Greenville. The health campus is built on the “Village Center” Residential Living model created by

Trilogy Health Services. Village squares have always been a hub of activity in communities across the Midwest - a place to meet, mingle, socialize and catch up on the day’s news and happenings. Friendships were forged, and communities were built through the relationships built around the village square. The Village Center design allows residents to maximize their independence, while creating a more home-like, less institutional atmosphere. The design features a predominance of private rooms organized into short residential neighborhood areas creating a sense of community for each resident. Scattered throughout the facility are reminders you are in Darke County with hallways and areas named after former prominent residents, including Garst, St. Clair, Annie Oakley and Mad Anthony. Services will include Assisted Living, ShortTerm Rehabilitation, Memory Care, Skilled Nursing, Long-term Care, Adult Day Services and Respite Care. These options will allow the campus staff to care for a wide variety of residents – from those who need little assistance to those with complex medical needs.

The Darke County Chamber of Commerce joined with staff and executives of the Village Green Health Campus and Trilogy Health Care to cut the ribbon on the new facility. Cutting the ribbon is Nicholas Green, executive director of the Village Green Health Campus.

Lucille Knapke is a current resident of Village Green. She and her daughter, Karen, made the decision to select Village Green a year ago, and they are looking forward to the move to Lucille’s new home. “At age 92, and still living at home, with a lot of support of family that lived nearby, the time had come that mom needed around the clock care,” Karen Knapke commented. “The search began for a facility that would provide quality care and loving support during this difﬁcult adjustment. We decided on Village Green, a Trilogy community. It has now been a year since we made the decision and we have found the care and the environment to be exactly what we had hoped for. With mom’s dementia and age they have provided her with the clean, caring, and safe environment we needed. We are so ever thankful for their

support.” “We are thrilled to be serving residents of Greenville, Darke County and the surrounding communities,” said Nicholas Anderson, executive director of Village Green Health Campus. “We look forward to bringing our exceptional approach to resident care and services to area seniors. Everything about our campus is tailored to meet our residents’ needs and personal choices.” “We invite members of the community to attend our Community Open House on Oct. 19 from 1-3 p.m. to take tours of our campus and meet our team of caregivers,” continued Anderson. “During our Open House you can learn more about our Founder’s Club specials, which offer no move-in fees, as well as ﬁrst selection of ﬂoor plan and location.” According to Ran-

dall Bufford, president and CEO of Trilogy, “We were excited to have the opportunity to serve the seniors in the Greenville area when we ﬁrst purchased Gade in 2012. We are even more enthusiastic today to be able to offer these services in our ‘Village Center’ model community. Our new location will offer a very convenient and comprehensive health care solution for area seniors.” “We like to say you can feel the difference the minute you walk through the doors of one of our campuses, and you see it everywhere you look,” Bufford continued. “From staff engagement and our focus on customer satisfaction, to the local ﬂavors on our menus, and even the names given to our different residential hallways – everything at a Trilogy campus is focused on our customers’ preferences and helping

Church celebrates harvest season GREENVILLE – Celebrating the fall harvest season with a festive event has become a tradition at First Presbyterian Church, 114 E. 4th St., Greenville. This Fall Festival, an evening with good food and activities for all ages, will take place Oct. 25 at the home of Fran and Richard Nord, 6811 State Route 36 East, Greenville. Square dancing, indoor swimming, table tennis, billiards, and other group and individual activities will be part of the evening as well as grilled hot dogs and brats to

accompany a carry in meal. For those not inclined to the more active possibilities, just having some good conversation can be a choice. The First Presbyterian Church family has experienced some new ventures in this past year, including the Tail Gate Parties with ice cream served to those attending First Friday evenings in Greenville, Friendship Sunday with a cookout in the church parking lot, a thirty one day experiment “Taste and See”, and the inspirational presentation of Robert

Rodgers. The third Thursday of the month, which began in September, those in the community enjoying the game of Euchre, gather for an evening of cards and conversation with light refreshments. No experience is necessary as there is always a “learner’s” table. A Walking Group is also in progress, with no other goal than exercise and good company. Several other new ventures are in the making. Monday evenings, the church ﬁelds a team in the Darke County Dartball

League. New participants are always welcome. The Wednesday Logos program for children from 5:30 to 7 p.m., the J.A.M. (Jesus and Me) for junior high and the senior high youth program provide learning, activities and a family meal for younger members of the congregation and community. For more information about any of these activities or about First Presbyterian Church, call 548-3188.
