Spartech streamlining – Greenville benefits RYAN BERRY
MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – On Tuesday, Spartech, LLC met with employees of the Hackensack, NJ facility to inform them that the Hackensack operations will be relocating to other existing locations. With the same announcement, the Greenville plant got good news. According to Spartech, this move is intended to
streamline operations and better serve customers by integrating key operations into other existing acrylic manufacturing facilities. This change helps them leverage expertise in Stamford, Conn. and Goodyear, Ariz. where secondary operations will be expanded to more efficiently deliver value to their customers. The bulk of the warehousing will move to an existing location at Jaysville-St. Johns Road, Greenville.
Darke County Economic Development Director Mike Bowers was excited to hear positive news coming from Spartech. He admitted the last time he talked with the company they were getting a WARN Notice (Worker Adjustment Retraining Notification) to let the city know that layoffs were coming. Bowers is glad the Jaysville-St. Johns Road facility has been put “in play” for the business. The facility originally housed the production department before they moved to a larger facility on Lansdowne Avenue in the industrial park. In the past few years it has been used for some warehouse storage, but with this announcement that role will
be increased. Bowers noted the company plans to add 20 new positions. Detailed transition plans are in place and expected to be completed by year-end. Spartech has other facilities (several within one hour of the Hackensack facility) and employees will be given an opportunity to be considered for open positions at other Spartech facilities. Employees will be eligible for transition assistance if they are unable to transfer to another facility. Spartech is a leading Film, Sheet & Thermoforming manufacturer in North America. In September 2018, Plastics News published its annual ranking of North American Film

This project has been in the works for 14 months, and on Aug. 11, the fundraising committee started the phase by contacting local businesses and individuals. Daryl Riffle, representing the finance committee, welcomed those who attended the ceremony. He thanked the Bruns Building and Design team members who were in attendance for being ahead of schedule. Riffle then announced special donors who have pledged thus far. Donors on the superior level donation with $25,000 or larger, and the exceptional level designates those who donated $15,000 to $24,999. On the superior level were: The Barga family; Greenville National Bank, Second National Bank, Rowland Trucking, J.L. Spencer Trucking, Superior Implement and Bryan and Alaina Clymer and her mother Janet Leis, while the exceptional level donors include Greenville Federal, Premier

and Sheet manufacturers. Spartech ranked in the top 25 of the total 171 organizations ranked in North America. Locally, Bowers pointed out employment is remaining steady in the county. However, Midmark will add approximately 100 highend jobs when construction is completed on their new
$42 million technology and research & development facility. DCED helped secure a $5 million grant to bring the facility to Versailles. Bowers’ department continues to focus on workforce development as well as attracting families to the community to fill some of the open positions at businesses across the county.

County Democrats told to ‘keep foot on pedal’ at Fall Fest SUSAN HARTLEY
STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – Urging Darke County’s Democrats to keep up their momentum, several mid-term candidates attended the party’s Fall Fest on Thursday evening at the American Legion. “I can’t stress how important this election is,” said Jim Surber, chair of the county’s Democrat Executive Committee. Surber welcomed the 100-plus in attendance, telling them to be sure and talk to co-workers, family and neighbors about the importance of voting in the Nov. 6 election. Before hearing guest speaker and Ohio Auditor candidate Zack Space give the keynote speech, three other candidates gave brief introductions. “So many people are sick of the status quo,” said Joseph Monbeck, candidate for the 84th House District, which includes the northern portion of Darke County, along with a portion of Shelby County, Mercer and Auglaize counties. Piqua’s D.J. Brynes came late to the race, stepping up in July when Scott Zimmerman rescinded his candidacy. Brynes said the November 2016 election “was a gut check for me” and that he was looking forward to serving his constituents. Paul Bradley of Dayton is running against Republican Stephen Huffman for
the 5th District Senate seat, which includes Miami and Preble counties with portions of Darke and Montgomery counties. Bradley, whose political experience includes working for Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown, said he’s ready “for the opportunity to bring balance back to Columbus.” Rob Call, representing Senator Sherrod Brown’s campaign also spoke briefly. Guest speaker and candidate for Ohio Auditor, Zack Space, introduced his father, Socrates Space, the son of Greek immigrants who came to America more than 100 years ago, leaving their home, which was under Turkish occupation. Space touched on negative issues that Ohioans have recently faced, including the ECOT controversy, where $1 billion dollars was invested into the charter school when it could have gone to Ohio’s public schools; payday lenders, which has “created a poverty cycle for generations” for Ohio’s poor; and gerrymandering –the manipulation of boundaries chose to favor political parties. The Darke County Democrats have opened a campaign headquarters at 114 E. Fourth St. Hours are 3-6 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. Campaign signs and literature on Ohio’s Democrat candidates are available at the office. Read more from the Democratic candidates at www.bluebagmedia.com.

ANSONIA – Ground has been broken for the new Ansonia Local School Preschool and Athletic Field House in a ceremony that preceded the Homecoming football game with the Tigers playing against and defeating Twin Valley South on Oct. 12. Estimated total cost of the project is $2.8 million, with 85 percent of the project funded by the current general fund of the district. The remaining 15 percent will be funded by private donations. The preschool, located on the first and second floor, is proposed to be 7,296 square feet with four classrooms with two bathrooms in each room and storage closets. There is a family restroom in the hallway of the preschool as well. The athletic facility is to be 14,880 square feet, with home/visitor locker rooms, restrooms, training room, an athletic director’s office, weight lifting/ conditioning, 96-foot sprint lanes, two volleyball and

It’s outstanding what it says about our community. This is state
of the art.” “The school board in the late 1960s had the insight to buy this 34 acres of land,” one of the speakers said. The Ansonia Early Childhood Program began in the 1987-88 school year with a class of 16 students. It currently serves 96 students.

Due to Bolin being unable to answer standard questions, he was transported to Wayne HealthCare Emergency. An ofďŹ cer went to Wayne Emergency to issue Bolin an immunity form, at which time the ofďŹ cer learned Bolin had checked himself out of the hospital. Bolin will be issued an immunity form once he is located. The syringe was placed into property for safe keeping. Juvenile Complaint
On Oct. 11 an ofďŹ cer saw a 17-year-old female student who had been suspended earlier in the day still at Greenville High School in the area of the cafeteria. The of ofďŹ cer told the student to stop, but she smiled and ran out the door into the athletic hallway. OfďŹ cers and school administrators looked for the student but could not locate her. While checking security cameras, the ofďŹ cer observed the student had entered the upstairs teacher workroom and had not exited. Administrators and police ofďŹ cers eventually located the student in the upstairs computer lab, which is connected to the teacher workroom. They explained that due to suspension, she was not allowed to be on school property. The student said she did not know she was suspended. Administrators again attempted to explain to the student she was not allowed in the school, and she still refused to leave. She ďŹ nally got up and walked out into the hallway and was told to go to the main ofďŹ ce, but refused. She ďŹ nally agreed and started walking out with the police ofďŹ cer, but once she got into the west hallway, she stopped. Again, administrators and ofďŹ cers spent about 25 minutes trying to get her into the ofďŹ ce or to leave the school. She continued to refuse and began screaming at the ofďŹ cer to stop when he, according to the report, started push-

ing her. She sat down on the oor and would not get up. Another police unit arrived and when the student continued to refuse to move, the of ofďŹ cers grabbed her wrists and began dragging her down the hallway. After getting about halfway down the hallway, the student said she would stand up. She did, and walked out to one of the police cruisers without further incident. She was transported to the police department. The student’s father arrived at the school and told administrators he had explained to his daughter she was suspended but she told him she was still going to come back to the school. The father went to the police department, where he gained custody of his daughter, who will be cited for criminal trespass for the incident.
transported to the Darke County jail, where he was incarcerated on a $2,025 bond. On Oct. 16 ofďŹ cers were dispatched to the 400 block of Washington Avenue on the report of a suspicious vehicle. When they arrived at the scene, ofďŹ cers located suspect Tyler Leas. After running Leas through LEADS, it was found he had an outstanding warrant through Warren County for a probation violation on the original charge of dangerous drugs. OfďŹ cers conďŹ rmed the warrant with Warren County and transported Leas to the Darke County Jail,
On Oct. 15 an ofďŹ cer was dispatched to a home in the 300 block of Oxford Drive on the report of a CPO violation. It was learned the suspect, Patrick Rehmert had sent an inappropriate text message to a female who had ďŹ led a protection order against him a few days earlier. The CPO is in effect through Oct. 11, 2019. The victim told ofďŹ cers she had not contacted Rehmert after the CPO was ďŹ led. When questioned, Rehmert told ofďŹ cers he was having trouble with his cell sending messages, and recipients were not receiving them until up to seven days later. He said the text he sent the victim had been sent prior to the CPO. OfďŹ cers issued Rehmert a citation for CPO violation.

Commissioners hear plan for Target of Opportunity grant DARKE COUNTY – Darke County Commissioners on Wednesday conducted a public hearing on a Community Development Block Grant Target of Opportunity Grant. Susan Laux, grant and funding specialist with Mote & Associates, reported she would be submitting a grant application for $250,000 in behalf of the Darke County Board of Developmental Disabilities (Darke DD). As a matching funds grant, she said, the Darke DD would appropriate $250,000 from their budget to meet the obligation. The Darke County MRDD, Laux said, is hoping to use the grant monies to renovate a portion of their building on JaysvilleSt. Johns Road to provide training opportunities for its clients and their families, as well as a space for Darke County’s senior citizens to meet on a regular basis. A portion of the building will be available soon due to the Person Centered Service (PCS) – formerly known as Wayne Industries - moving to a new location. Laux said the grant application will be submitted Oct. 22 and the county should hear if they re-
ceived it by the end of the year. Improvements would include new exterior doors and windows, building interior walls and provide ďŹ nishes/partitions along with oor coverings, installation of a kitchenette, plumbing, electrical and mechanical upgrades for lighting and sprinkler systems, audio/visual additions to include a screen and projector, and new furnishings. If the grant is received, work would begin next spring. Commissioners also heard a brief report from Brian Martin, executive director with the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission. Martin told commissioners there had been some policy changes with the MVRPC and that as of September there was $1 million available for rural counties within the MVRPC’s area for help with transportation upgrades. These counties include Darke, Preble and Clinton. The money could be used for improvements for sidewalks or widening roads, as examples, Martin said, noting the MVRPC also works closely with ODOT and the state is in the process of completing a statewide transportation plan.

Court sentences defendants on parole violations, forgery, drug use BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – The following appeared before Judge Jonathan P. Hein this week in Darke County Common Pleas Court: * Kent Minnich, 44, of Greenville, appeared for violations of community control sanctions on the original charges of trafficking in drugs and having a weapon while under disability (probation). Minnich told Hein being in possession of a weapon while on probation “was stupidity on my part. I apologize to the court and probation for my actions.” Hein told Minnich he was “acting like a 20year-old instead of 44” and ordered him to serve an 18-month prison sentence, with credit for nine months he has already served. * Jesse Steen, 30, of Greenville, appeared for violations of community control sanctions on original charges including domestic violence and violating a protection order. According to probation records, Steen tested positive for alcohol and drugs and failed to complete court-ordered treatment classes. Steen told Hein he used drugs after a family member experienced some medical issues. “You can’t let excuses rule your life,” Hein said, then ordered Steen be released from the Darke County Jail to continue community sanctions, with additional requirements. * Christina Bunger, 43, of Union City, Ohio, pleaded guilty to forgery in September. On Monday, she appeared for sentencing. According to court records, Bunger took a total of $3,890 from her father, which was to be used for home repairs. Bunger

used some of the money for personal use. She told Hein she and her father agreed she could make restitution by buying his cigars and other personal items. Hein ordered 15 days in jail, with credit for six already served. He told her he was willing to have her serve the remaining nine days in work-release so she could keep her job – and pay back the $3,890 through the courts, instead of purchasing cigars. * Jordan Bailey, 28, of Palestine appeared for sentencing on charges of possession of cocaine. Bailey, who admitted to being “drug-addicted,” also is on parole in Miami County and has outstanding warrants in Montgomery County. According to Assistant Prosecutor Deborah Quigley, Bailey was found by Ansonia Police to be in possession of fentanyl and car-fentanyl at the time of his arrest. Hein reviewed Bailey’s court records, stating his drug abuse history “touches all the bases,” including alcohol, marijuana and cocaine. His attorney David Rohrer told Hein he believed his client was a “good candidate for community sanctions” and that he was currently on a Vivitrol program. “He dodged the bullet with what he had,” Rohrer said of the deadly drugs in Bai-

aggravated menacing. On July 11, sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to perform a welfare check on Musselman, who became angry when they arrived. Musselman’s attorney Jay Lopez told Hein his client had several “physical and mental health issues. He does regret his actions.” Assistant Prosecutor Jim Bennett said after discussing the case with the sheriff’s department, he would suggest Hein place Musselman on community control sanctions. Hein agreed and ordered Musselman to work with the probation department to obtain the medical attention he was in need of. He also cautioned Musselman about “selfmedicating” with alcohol
and marijuana, both of which Musselman admitted to using the past couple days. Hein also ordered a 88day jail sentence, which he suspended for the defendant to be able to receive medical and mental health treatments. * Via video conference from the Darke County Jail, defendant Magan Plessenger, 31, of Greenville, made an initial appearance for violation of community control sanctions on an original charge of trafficking drugs and endangering children. Plessenger, according to court records, violated probation by testing positive for meth and failure to complete a treatment program. Darke County Prosecu-
tor Kelly Ormsby recommended Hein set a $10,000 cash bond for Plessinger. Hein ordered the bond, which he will review after the probation department conducts an investigation to confirm Plessinger’s living, work and treatment arrangements.

FFA hosts 188 first-graders for annual safety day event BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – Greenville High School’s FFA students presented Safety Awareness Day to 188 first-graders on Fri-
day. The annual event provides the opportunity for first-graders from Greenville Elementary and St. Mary’s Catholic School to learn the importance of safety – including bike
safety, first aid tips and animal safety. Held at the Darke County Fairgrounds, FFA members brought in a few farm animals, including a donkey and sheep and set up a bike course using hay
bales and road signs. The first-graders eagerly wore bike helmets and jumped on bikes – some with training wheels – to maneuver the course. “We talk to them about bike safety and what all the road signs mean,” said senior Austin Rizzi, 18. “It’s really neat,” Rizzi said about the FFA’s safety program. “I think it’s great for the first-graders to experience this. They really enjoy it. I think it needs to keep going on.” FFA adviser Karri Sherman said this was the fifth year she has been assisting her high school students with the safety day program. “It teaches them (firstgraders) about safety in various area,” she explained. One area most don’t always think about is safety around service animals, Sherman pointed out. “We

teach them not to run up and pet a service dog, for example. If they (animal) has a sign, then it’s working and they shouldn’t bother the animal.” Other safety stations included learning simple first aid tips. Jayden Ford, 7, said he learned what to do “if my nose was bloody and dropping blood every-
where.” Six-year-old Tatum Marker said the bike safety course was her favorite part of the safety day activities, but she also learned what to do if she got a scrape on her hand. “When you have a big scrape you can wrap gauze around your hand,” to make it all better.
Schmitz grand marshal for school parade BY LINDA MOODY CORRESPONDENT lmoody@earlybirdpaper.com
BRADFORD – Because she was named Teacher of the Year for Bradford Exempted Village Schools, Tina Schmitz followed tradition and served as grand marshal for the school parade at recent the Bradford Pumpkin Show. Schmitz is the elementary special education teacher at Bradford for those in grades 2, 3 and 5, teaching her students reading, math, spelling and writing. “I love what I do,” said the former Tina Rismiller, who lives in the Rossburg area. She came to Bradford School in August 2013 after having worked in management at McDonald’s when she lived in Dayton, working many years at Fram in Greenville and working for Mississinawa Valley School; nine years as a bus driver and three years as an aide for Down Syndrome student Ryan Burnett. Working with Ryan and at the school made

her want to do more in education. “When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a teacher,” she said. It took her seven years to get her associate’s degree at Edison Community College as well as some online work through Grand Canyon University, and one more year to get her bachelor’s. Now, she is hoping to get her master’s someday. “I have no regrets,” said Schmitz. “I felt God has called me to do this. And, it works well with my family.” Schmitz did this all the while raising six children, four of whom were also in school at the time. “I worked two jobs while in college,” she said. How did she juggle her time back then? “Only by the grace of God,” she replied. “I’m just so sad I didn’t get this job right away, but the timing wasn’t right.” She makes class interesting for her students. “We do functional life skills here in the resource room,” she said. “We do a lot of social skills where big rewards come in. When visitors come, the students are quick to introduce themselves, show off our room and take pride in what they do and what they have done. I’m incredibly blessed.” She said her own children always did well and never had hard issues in life like the ones she teaches now have. “If we didn’t have our own kids, I don’t know if

She and husband Don were married March 21, 1992, and until the children got older, she used to help him on his 500-acre farm. They raised hogs, cattle and grain, and the children had sheep and chickens for 4-H and FFA projects. “I just do what God allows me to do,” Schmitz said. “Like Mother Teresa said, ‘I know God will never give me more than I can handle. I just wish he didn’t trust me so much’.” Schmitz said she has learned so much since she has been teaching. “They teach you a lot in college, but I learn a lot more on the job....everyday,” she said.

Task force takes back prescription drugs GREENVILLE – On Oct. 27, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the Darke County Drug Task Force along with Darke County Family Health, Darke County Solid Waste and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Bring your medications for disposal to Darke County Family Health at 5735 Meeker Rd. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked. This collection is for items in pill form only. They cannot accept any creams, powders or liquids during this collection. Please feel free to mix all your unwanted drugs in zipper bag. This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home
cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—ushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards. The City of Greenville Police Department has a permanent drop-box available to public. This container is accessible 24hours a day, 7-days a week for additional convenience in properly disposing of unwanted drugs.

Monetary donations are accepted throughout the year – checks should be made payable to Warm Winter Wear and mailed c/o Darke County Sheriff’s OfďŹ ce, 5185 County Home Road, Greenville, Ohio 45331. With the support and participation of the local
K-Mart from 2000 - 2013, “Warm Winter Wearâ€? was able to provide over 3,000 coats to children in Darke County. For the past four years, Wal-Mart has worked with them in helping to provide new coats, hats and gloves to children, ages 0-13, who are in need. With their support and participation over the last three years, the Darke County Sheriff’s OfďŹ ce has been able to provide almost 800 coats to children in Darke County. The Darke County Sheriff’s OfďŹ ce wishes to thank the numerous individuals and businesses throughout the county who have made donations in previous years. Last year, they received $9,370 in donations. They also received donations of new coats, as well as hand-made hats, scarves and gloves.

Good Morning Darke! takes a look at Issue 1 BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – The Darke County Chamber of Commerce held its ďŹ rst Good Morning Darke! event on Friday, tackling Ohio’s controversial Issue 1, which will appear on the Nov. 6 ballot. Local business leaders, law enforcement and elected ofďŹ cials attended to hear why the chamber is not in favor of Issue 1, as well as to hear comments from Darke County Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein and Chief Deputy Mark Whittaker, who also are opposed to Issue 1. In September, the Darke County Chamber announced its opposition to Issue 1, which, if approved, would change Ohio’s Constitution. Passage of Issue 1 has been disguised as a “softer approach to criminal sentencing.â€? The Issue 1 ballot initiative is known as “The Neigh-

borhood Safety Drug Treatment and Rehabilitation Amendment,� According to Chief Whittaker, passage of Issue 1 would “prohibit law enforcement’s ability to prosecute drug dealers. If we vote yes, it would change completely the way law enforcement works. If Issue 1 passes, we will have to seriously consider whether we continue with a drug enforcement� unit in Darke County. Passage would defelonize some drug offenses, making them misdemeanor offenses. The ballot language reads: To reduce penalties for Crimes of Obtaining, Possessing and Using Illegal Drugs. The proposed Constitutional amendment would add a new Section 12 to Article XV of the Constitution of the State of Ohio. Passage of Issue 1 would: Reduce major drug possession offenses, allowing an individual to be in possession of up to 20 grams before being eligible for incarceration. Chief Deputy Whittaker demonstrated this amount on Friday by holding up a small baggie containing a white substance similar to what fentanyl would appear. The contents were about the size of a golf ball. Whittaker explained the same amount of fentanyl would kill 9,500 people. “Every major vil425 Memorial Dr. Greenville, OH 45331
lage in Darke County would be wiped out. Seventy-ďŹ ve percent of the city of Greenvilleâ€? would be killed, he explained. Destroys the authority of Ohio’s judges. “This is like the layers of an onion,â€? Judge Hein said, explaining how as you delve into the points being made by proponents of the issue, it “will make you cry also.â€? Hein discussed the fact that Ohio’s judges would not be able to sentence drug of offenders to state prisons. “It proposes voluntary efforts by drug users to get treatment, because they won’t have the heavy hand of the law,â€? Hein said. “The biggest thing this issue would do is to take away the ability to have people compelled into health.â€? Place huge costs on Ohio’s counties. Both Hein and Whittaker discussed the cost Darke County would incur if Issue 1 is passed. As a border county, trafďŹ cking would increase across state lines. Those who would be incarcerated would be sent to the county jail instead of the state’s prisons. Endangers our families and our children. Drug users and trafďŹ ckers would be out in the community. Enables the immediate release of as many as 10,000 offenders. Chief Whittaker told those present Friday that currently, voters in Ohio were leaning toward pass-

ing Issue 1. “The polls show voters are in favor. If you don’t think this, then get out and talk to as many people as you can.â€? Also, according to Whittaker, funding for its passage is coming from big money – Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and investor and hedge fund manager George Soros. News outlets across Ohio have reported this information. Similar issues are on ballots in California and Colorado. “It shouldn’t be this easy for out-of-state people to do this,â€? Whittaker said. Hein agreed. “You gotta, as a community, say ‘this is my issue.’â€? According to a press release from the Darke County Chamber of Commerce, the chamber’s board of directors thoroughly reviewed Issue 1 before deeming it a â€œďŹ‚awed proposalâ€? and encouraging a ‘No’ vote. “The Darke County Chamber has moved to oppose Issue 1 because we believe changing the Ohio Constitution is an inappropriate means of addressing the important issues this ballot initiative wishes to solve,â€? said Sharon Deschambeau, chamber president. “Issue 1 will not help our chamber member businesses or our communities.â€?

Shaffer gets unanimous approval as Greenville athletic director GAYLEN BLOSSER
SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – Greenville head varsity football coach, Aaron Shaffer, a GHS alum received unanimous board approval to take over as the new athletic director for the Green Wave sports programs. After a stellar GHS high school football career serving as team captain, earning ďŹ rst team All-League GMVC honors his junior and senior years and second team All-Ohio as a senior, Shaffer went on to play football for Wittenberg University where he was a four-year letter winner, a three year starter at offensive tackle, named two-time First Team North Coast Athletic Conference; was a two-time All-American and was First-Team HewittPackard and Second-Team Don Henson’s Football Gazette. “I love this place, I love my school, I love my home town,â€? said Shaffer. “I look forward to working with the other coaches and continue to build relationships.â€?
Coach Shaffer’s career has taken him to various locations before returning to his roots along with his family to take over the football program. “Through my life I have always been somebody that identiďŹ ed situations where I think I can help,â€? Shaffer said. “Through the early part of my career it’s been at various places on a football ďŹ eld and in the classroom. I think early on it’s going to be difďŹ cult to move out of the classroom – the things that I have done for 20 years; you get up in the morning, you go to school, you stand in front of kids and you teach them different things. Early in my career it was language arts and now its mathematics.â€? “On the football side of it, it’s been every August for 35 years from the time I was seven until now,â€? added Shaffer. “You’re looking at August, baseball is over and football starts.â€? Shaffer takes over as Greenville leaves the GWOC and steps out into the new startup Miami Valley League (MVL). “It’s deďŹ nitely going to
be neat,� Shaffer said of the MVL. “Being able to get in with that, the athletic directors in the schools that we’re working with – schools that I am very familiar with whether it be from my time here as an athlete back in the old GMVC days, or as a coach here in Greenville and Fairborn.� “Fairborn I am obviously familiar with – Xenia, West Carrollton and Stebbins,� continued Shaffer. “Those are all schools that I competed against in a previous stop, so those guys that I will be working are a few of those athletic directors that I know fairly well.� Not only does the new position bring change for Coach Shaffer, but his family as well; a coach and family that is often seen at multiple sporting events throughout the three sporting seasons. “My family and I have always been very supportive of the other sports,� Shaffer stated. “In the fall volleyball matches and soccer matches. There have been times we sneak down to the baseball and softball diamonds in the spring
and track meets and dang near every basketball game we can get to – wrestling matches. We’ve always tried to be supportive here outside of the thing we were doing as a teacher, a coach, students, mom and just doing the things that you do to support the kids and the community that you work for.� “There will be a different role,� added Shaffer. “I won’t get to go sit in the stands so to speak and watch basketball and volleyball and track meets and so forth – but it will be rewarding in other ways, so I am looking forward to the opportunity.� Coach Shaffer was quick to thank all involved as he moves into this new chapter in his and his family lives. “I want to thank my wife (Jessica),� said Coach Shaffer. “My wife has always known me in several capacities; one, when we met in college I was a football player and then immediately right in as a football coach.� “The transition that is going to happen in our personal lives is going to be a

lot. She supported me all along and I love her for that. I know there will be some things come off of her plate that she helped with as the football coach’s wife, but there will be other things that will come up as we go along here that she will be able to help with.â€? “My children ‌ it’s going to be change for them,â€? continued Shaffer. “They have only know me as coach and that’s going to be different ‌ it’s hard.â€? “I want to thank the people that I work with – my coaches,â€? Shaffer said“. “They have all been supportive, the administration,
Mr. Mortensen, Rhonda, Sandy – working with those people. Mr. Fries obviously. I’ve know Mr. Fries for a long time. He was my guidance counselor and baseball coach, Mr. Hughes, all the people that helped me along the way.â€? “It’s going to be a challenge I know, but I like having a challenge and working hard for a goal; to move this athletic department and our school district forward. It’s exciting times with the new conference and I feel conďŹ dent that I will do the very best that I can. I’m looking forward to the opportunity.â€?

Five of the Lady Lions ďŹ rst set points came by way of service errors. “It’s just a matter of execution on our side,â€? Bruggeman said. “We kept forcing to the girls that we had remain engage. “A lot of uncommon things were coming over, second ball contact or ďŹ rst ball contact and if you’re not mentally ready for that it will get you and that is what happened on a couple of ours. DeďŹ nitely don’t like to miss serves or the errors that we had hitting wise but we were able to clean it up and kept their runs pretty short.â€? Set No. 2 had the Lady
Tigers taking a 17-0 opening lead with Elizabeth Ording at the serving line on their way to a 25-4 win. “So huge for her (Ording) to get comfortable,â€? stated Bruggeman. “That’s really only something that we started maybe three weeks ago, so those are great reps for her tonight in a game situation where she just had to be consistent – really work on her toss. She did a great job.â€? The third and ďŹ nal set of the night went to Versailles 25-7 with the Lady Tigers advancing in tournament play. “We deďŹ nitely wanted to come out with aggressive serving and that was our main focus for tonight,â€? Bruggeman said following the match. “We want to score in those chunks and we were able to make a lot of runs.â€? A night when the competition level did not match the tough MAC schedule the Lady Tigers face, Coach Bruggeman was still able to take away some positives on the night. “We were all getting the same amount of reps and the same amount of practice time, so everybody is equally trained on being able to step into game situation,â€? said Bruggeman. “It’s always good to get them in the actual atmosphere rather than just in practice.â€?

He loved John Deere tractors, his Ford pickup trucks, camping, and visiting the Darke County Fair.

ners will again be held at the cafetorium in the new Greenville City Schools K-8 building. This is the second year YFC supporters have met in this venue, which is a beautiful facility that is configured so that everyone has a seat close to the stage. Crawford went on to explain why he believes right now is such an opportune time to make a difference for teenagers. “Almost all of our local schools are supportive of YFC’s work and are wide open to letting us spend lunchtimes with the kids that want to come. Also, most teens are open to exploring faith in God and eager to know people that genuinely care about them and want to listen to them. Given these two circumstances, there is no limit to what can be done if we rise up together and come alongside teenagers to walk with them through this important time in their lives. That’s why the theme of this year’s banquet is ‘Rise Up.’ If enough people will ‘rise up’ to make a difference for teens, it could change our whole community!” The Youth for Christ banquets will begin at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 12 and Tuesday,
to assist homeless veterans. Skaters and non-skaters are invited to attend and make a donation in support of this worthy

Coffeehouse Series has unique opener UNION CITY, Ind. – Darke County Center for the Arts will open its 20182019 Coffeehouse Series season on Thursday, Nov. 1 at the Arts Depot in Union City by presenting “Kathakaar—The Spinning Storyteller.” According to DCCA officials, this performance is unlike any other presented since the inception of the casual Coffehouse Series. “Kathakaars were the bards of ancient India, communicating stories through dance, songs, and music,” explained DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins. “Accomplished kathak dancer, tabla player, and ambassador for classical Indian arts Jin Won has created this spellbinding program that will fascinate audiences of all ages,” he concluded. The
show starts at 7 p.m. DCCA’s Coffeehouse Series presents high quality artists who perform in an inviting informal social setting where food and drink are also available. “The opportunity to enjoy these excellent artists upclose and personal is an important component of the appeal of our Coffeehouse shows,” said Andrea Jordan, DCCA’s executive director. “However, the friendly ambience and congenial atmosphere are also a big part of the attraction of this highly accessible series,” Ms. Jordan stated. Rodney Oda, Steve and Eileen Litchfield, and The Andersons are sponsors of DCCA’s Coffeehouse Series. The Ohio Arts Council helps fund this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth,

GREENVILLE – Beer has been brewed at monasteries in Europe since before the Middle Ages, and one sect of the Benedictine Order, the Trappists, still brew beer commercially. Trappist breweries produce some of the most revered beers in the world, and an abbey must meet strict requirements to be certified as a Trappist brewery. There is rich history and tradition behind these beers and their quality is a testament to the patience and commitment contained in the Trappist motto of ora et labora: pray and work. In a two-part series of classes, the Craft Beer
Education Series will look at the history of the Trappist order and the world’s 12 certified Trappist breweries. The classes will be lead by Certified Cicerone David Nilsen. David will guide attendees through a tasting of beers from the world’s Trappist breweries, explaining what makes each unique. Part one of the series will be held on Oct. 30 and Nov. 1 (identical classes), with part two on Dec. 6 and a January date to be determined. These classes are free, but seats are limited and registration is required. Call the Greenville Public Library at 937-5483915 to reserve your seat.

started building walls for their new home, with the help of many family members and friends, with very few professional people getting involved. “We designed it,” said his wife, the former Casey Evers, who has worked for Waymire Barns for 16 years. “Since college, my summer jobs were working construction,” said Brad, who is the agricultural program director at Edison State College on the Darke County campus. “We did an addition on our old house when Alice was a newborn between Greenville and Union City when we lived there. We were waiting for the right time to build...and three kids later... This is going better than our remodeling did.” The couple has each posted pictures on their Facebook accounts, and Casey started an Instagram account to show the house building in progress. Sure, there were many times when they were in doubt if this project should have been started, but they’re glad they persevered. “We are trying to make a new home look old,” said Casey. “We’ve put a lot of old stuff in it, such as the doors collected out of our old house. Our barn is full of stuff. I’m a flea marketer and garage saler. If I see something along the road, I stop and get it.” On one of Brad’s Facebook posts were these words: “Working on my house this morning, I was able to incorporate some old nails that came from my Uncle Max. It’s a small thing, but it meant something to me. Casey and I are suckers for family heirlooms! Even though I’ll never see those nails once the walls are covered, I’ll know they’re in there! And for those of you that knew my Uncle Max, there were several crooked nails in the box.” The 1,750-square-foot house features include a full walkout basement, a large open floor plan, a master bedroom in the loft, a

His biggest challenge, he said, was doing stuff by himself and still working his full-time job. “We can see a light at the end of the tunnel,” Brad offered. “We are doing dry wall right now.” Yes, Casey helps, too. “She runs the chop saw and nails stuff,” Brad said. “She’s a big help.

Concerned about rising mortgage rates? While mortgage interest rates remain near historic lows, they have been slowly rising over the last year,
increasing the cost of 30year loans for borrowers. Home buyers concerned about higher rates have
other options to consider: an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM), which provides an initial lower monthly pay-
ment, or a 15-year ďŹ xed rate mortgage, which has a higher monthly payment but reduces the amount of interest paid over the course of the loan. A Shot in the ARM An ARM typically starts out at a lower interest rate than the classic, 30-year ďŹ xed rate. After an initial period, typically ďŹ ve, seven or 10 years, the interest rate adjusts over the life of the loan. There are several different types of ARMs, but one of the most popular is the 7/1, which stays at the same rate for the ďŹ rst seven years and then adjusts yearly thereafter. “After the ďŹ xed period, the rate can increase each year, but the good news is that there are caps on how high that rate can go,â€? says Peter Boomer, head of mortgage distribution for PNC Bank. “The opposite may also be true: it’s possible the rate will decline if market forces are pointing that way. The best advice is to check with your lender for the details.â€? What You Need to Consider
Boomer said it’s important to know how long you expect to be in your home. “The national average is seven years before homeowners sell or reďŹ nance, which is why the 7/1 ARM is so popular,â€? he said. “If you expect to be in a home for fewer than 10 years, then you may want to consider an ARM.â€? Boomer suggests talking with a mortgage loan ofďŹ cer about whether an adjustable rate may save you money. Many people like the idea of that lower rate to start, while others prefer the peace of mind of a stable rate. For traditional mortgages, reďŹ nancing remains a viable option if interest rates fall in subsequent years. “It’s important to remember that mortgage rates rise and fall over time. It may be worth considering an ARM because over time there may be savings, as opposed to the cost of reďŹ nancing,â€? Boomer says. Look at your family, job, future and goals to decide whether this option makes
sense. Your family may grow, you may get a new job and relocate, you may downsize for retirement or face other changing ďŹ nancial conditions. 15-Year Mortgage Another alternative is a shorter term ďŹ xed-rate loan, the most popular being 15 years. According to Boomer, while a 15-year mortgage will have a higher monthly payment than a 30-year ďŹ xed, the interest rate is typically lower and you pay back the principle faster, which means you can save money on interest over the length of the loan. “The good news for consumers is that there are many ďŹ nancing options available. Talk to your loan ofďŹ cer to discuss which best ďŹ ts your situation,â€? he says. To learn more about borrowing options, visit pnc.com. Owning a home is on the path to keeping your American dream alive, and exploring your options can help you more easily achieve it. (StatePoint)
Americans are ďŹ nding affordable housing With the cost of housing continuing to rise faster than wages, it’s no wonder that many Americans nationwide are struggling to make ends meet. Luckily, solutions already exist to address the affordable housing shortage, say experts. For example, more than 22 million people in the U.S. now live in manufactured housing -- homes built to a federal standard in factories and placed on a homeowner’s land or on rented lots in manufactured home communities, according to the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI). In many parts of the country, homes like these are the least expensive kind of housing available without a government subsidy. The cost to buy a manufactured home averages about $70,600, compared with $286,000 for a single-family site-built home, not including land

costs. In response to growing market demand, almost 93,000 new manufactured homes were built in the U.S. in 2017, an approximate 15 percent increase over 2016, according to MHI, but this is still not nearly enough to meet the nation’s affordable housing needs, according to experts. Advocates say that zoning restrictions and other rules and regulations in many areas are preventing manufactured housing from closing the gap -- as certain jurisdictions only allow manufactured housing in locations far from town centers and other jurisdictions have considered banning them altogether. “Part of this bias may be based on the negative stereotype of earlier generations of manufactured housing, however, today, our homes are built with quality construction materials to meet

Ansonia Lumber offers design help with kitchens and baths BY LINDA MOODY CORRESPONDENT lmoody@earlybirdpaper.com
ANSONIA – Homeowners wanting to update their kitchens and bathrooms need to meet with Randy Crabtree, who joined the staff at Ansonia Lumber Company on July 18. “I am running the department to help homeowners with their dreams,” said Crabtree, who indicated he is also a project manager. “The 20/20 program allows me to design kitchens, general 3D drawings with a panoramic view for customers to get a visual for them to look at. I can email them to the clients.” “We have updated our software and we’re able to do more than we have done in the past,” said Mitch McCabe, who is in charge of marketing and sales at Ansonia Lumber. Since joining the company, Crabtree has completed at least a dozen plans and designed several of them. He added, “I can actually put a design in, add the color and give the customer a good idea of what it will look like for them. Then, I can price the job for them
and make their dreams a reality.” According to McCabe, Ansonia Lumber has several different lines and brands of kitchen cabinets available. He and Crabtree noted that countertops in this day and age are a big deal, and the lumberyard features quartz, granite, solid surface, cultured marble and different grades of laminate. Also available are plumbing parts for bath design, including Delta, Kohler and Moen in both faucets and other fixtures. “The trend in cabinets now is Shaker-style in whites and grays and twotone for kitchens, as well,” they agreed. “We have everything available, from the very basic cabinet for the budgetminded customer to the custom designed kitchen and bath with all the bells and whistles and endless color choices.” Crabtree added. Crabtree said he has lived in Adams Township in Darke County for 24 years. “I was born in Illinois, lived in Tennessee most of my childhood and moved back to Ohio in 1969 and out of Dayton in 1994,” he

said. Crabtree has a background in carpentry. His dad was a carpenter and his great-uncle was a furniture maker. That is where he learned the trade. “I have built custom cabinets and houses,” he said. He also did a lot of commercial work; remodeling banks, doing jobs for NCR in Dayton and Pepsi World Headquarters in Cincinnati, churches and auditoriums. Crabtree has been designing kitchen and bathrooms for 13 years before coming to Ansonia Lumber. His new job at the lumberyard keeps him busy and on his toes. “I enjoy what I am doing here,” he said. “Ansonia Lumber is like a big family. They’re nice to work for.” Those interested in getting some ideas for their home projects can call the
Ansonia Lumber Company for an appointment.

Cut years off of your home’s mortgage Whether you’ve just moved into your dream home and are experiencing the elation of making it your own or you are a few years into paying off your mortgage, if you are like most homebuyers, chances are you have the standard 30year mortgage and may feel daunted as you anticipate decades of payments. What if there were a simple way to cut years off that mortgage and potentially save yourself thousands of dollars in interest? By making just one extra payment a year to your mortgage or by spreading that one payment over 12 months, you can do just that, say experts. “If you have a nest egg and are in a good place financially, put a little extra money to work to cut the mortgage term and add equity faster, suggests PNC Bank’s Staci Titsworth, a regional manager for mortgages. Titsworth offers strategies to help make the extra payments easier to handle. “A good rule of thumb is to take a tax refund or year-
end bonus and apply it to the principal of your mortgage. It’s simple to do on a yearly basis, plus you are not parting with a large portion of your regular paycheck to fund that extra payment,” she says. Another strategy is to add a little extra to each month’s mortgage payment and apply to the principal. That way it doesn’t hurt quite so much. As an example, with $200,000 borrowed at a 4.5 percent fixed rate, making one extra payment of $1,013 annually can take 4.25 years off the loan and save more than $2,500 in interest. Double that extra payment and you could shorten the term by seven and a half years and save more than $9,600 in interest. In the early years of a 30year mortgage, the bulk of the payment goes toward interest and the interest is calculated on the outstanding principal balance, so every extra dollar that you can put toward that balance is going to take cost off the back end
of the mortgage. “We talk to our customers about their complete financial picture, from their loans to savings to retirement. We know that most people want to retire in a financially sound position, and typically their biggest debt is a mortgage,” says Titsworth. “Consider meeting with a financial advisor who can take a look at your complete picture and calculate the benefits of paying off your mortgage faster while also managing your longterm goals.” More tips and resources can be found at www.pnc. com. With a comprehensive approach, you can make paying for your home a little sweeter. (StatePoint)

BY LINDA MOODY CORRESPONDENT lmoody@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – Because of her own love of travel, Reda Sullenbarger wants to share that love in her retirement by planning guided bus trips for old friends, new friends and future friends. Sullenbarger, who recently retired Sept. 20 from Fry & Co. after seven years, is scheduling two trips for 2019 with her project. “I feel there is a need for these since other people who did trips are no longer doing so,” Sullenbarger said. “I have partnered with Diamond Tours out of Florida to begin Reda and Friends Travel Group. This group is for anyone who would like to travel on a guided bus trip. “My goal is to provide affordable trips for all,” she said. The two trips scheduled for next year are Branson, Mo., and a trip to New Orleans. The trip Jan. 24-29, 2019, is called Branson Show Extravaganza and includes transportation, lodging, eight meals, seven shows, Showboat Branson Belle Riverboat dinner cruise, and more. The cost is $599 for six days and five nights.” Dec. 1-7, 2019 is the New Orleans trip, which includes transportation, lodging, guided tour of the city, admission to National World War Two Museum, guided tour of Louisiana plantation, riverboat cruise, admission to Mardi Gras World, French Quarter and more for $659 for seven days and six nights. Departure both times will be from the Brethren Retirement Community, 750 Chestnut St., Greenville, at 8 a.m.
Reda Sullenbarger is working through Diamond Tours to plan guided bus tours across the United States for those wanting to get away for several days. (Linda Moody photo)
Deadline to get tickets for Branson is Feb. 1, 2019, and for New Orleans, the deadline is July 1, 2019. Her website is www. grouptrips/RedaandFriends and her phone number is 937-548-4625. She can also be reached at redasully@twc.com . “This is really not a business as I plan to keep the price low enough to allow people to afford to go and use any profits after my administrative costs to make the trip fun for the travelers and give a donation to Brethren Home Resident Fund for allowing us to use their parking lot,” she said. She said she has been on a lot of trips and went with Diamond tours last year at Christmastime. “They (at Diamond Tours) do all the booking,” she explained. “I promote it, try to get the bus full and
will be the group leader. I enjoy people and used to travel so I feel like I know how to be a leader.” The 1970 Ansonia High School graduate, now living in Greenville, had also worked at Corning Credit Union in Greenville and at A.O. Smith Credit Union in Tipp City. “I am going to try two trips a year for right now to see if I can get it going,” Sullenbarger said. “I’m not in it to make money on it.” Diamond Tours, she said, offers coastal, southern, northern, Canadian and major city tours as well as show/trip tours. “I have a lot of different options,” said Sullenbarger, who earned a degree in accounting from Edison College in 1990. “I like seeing new places and helping other people see them by trying these trips. I want to enjoy life while I still can.”

Gettysburg Fire to host open house RYAN BERRY
MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com
GETTYSBURG – Gettysburg Rural Fire and EMS, 215 Factory St., will be hosting an open house on Sunday, Oct. 28, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visitors can get free blood pressure checks, take a tour of the station and trucks, meet firefighters and EMTs, learn about fire safety and prevention, take pictures in firefighter gear, and enjoy food and refreshments, as well as games and prizes for the kids. They will have hourly Jaws of Life and auto extrication demonstrations and see how the new Lucas Device can save lives. According to Fire Chief Tom Hill and Assistant Chief Jeff Unger, the Open House will give firefighters and EMTs an opportunity to share how taxpayer money is being spent, including the purchase of the Lucas Device which does chest compressions while EMTs are able to move the patient or work in other areas. The device was purchased through taxpayer money and donations. Also on display will be the Life Pack 15 defibrillator that was purchased through taxpayer money. Visitors will also get to see the Power Load System for the cots on the ambulances that greatly assist EMTs with loading patients into the ambulance. The Power Load System was purchased through a grant from the Bureau of
Workers Compensation. Chief Hill and Assistant Chief Unger will be available to answer questions on two 1 mill replacement levies that are on the ballot this year. “Day to day operations continues to go up and this will help with day-to-day operations,” said Chief Hill. Adams Township taxpayers have supported these levies for 20 years, but this year they are asking voters to approve both as replacement levies, which would bring the funds received up to the current valuation levels on the houses and properties. There will be a small increase to taxpayers. All Adams Township residents, including Gettysburg and Bradford will be voting on this levy and funds support both Gettysburg and Bradford’s departments. According to the assistant chief, the last levy approved by voters was to staff EMS 24-hours a day, seven days a week. Not only has the cost for day-to-day business increased since these levies were first approved, so has the activity the departments see yearly. In 1995, Gettysburg fire responded to 40-50 calls and the squad was dispatched 8090 times a year. In 2017, the fire department responded to 131 calls and EMS responded to 223 calls. Chief Hill said they are on track to repeat those numbers in 2018. The department has 18 volunteer and part-time persons to staff the EMS and 33 firefighters with some of them cross-certified.

Road to Remission to benefit Klosterman LINDA MOODY
CORRESPONDENT
GREENVILLE – The Road to Remission for Jessi Klosterman is slated for noon to 4 p.m. Sunday (Oct. 21) at the Merchant House on South Broadway in Greenville. The proceeds of this fundraiser will go toward paying medical bills and other treatment expenses incurred by Klosterman, who has been diagnosed with cervical cancer, Stage 1. Klosterman said she is planning to be at the benefit the entire time, health permitting. BNI (Business Network International) of which she is a member, and Merchant House are hosting the event. Tickets are $15 a person. “Sadly, I have recently been diagnosed with cervical cancer,” she said in an early report on Facebook. “Initially, the prognosis was that surgery should be the only treatment necessary. My pathology unfortunately, came back otherwise. The cancer has entered into my bloodstream causing me to face five weeks of daily chemotherapy and radiation treatment at The James Cancer Center in Columbus. As they say, there is never a routine cancer.” Her oncologist initially wanted her to do both
treatments at the same time on a trial basis, but radiation only was chosen for her for the time being. So, she is traveling to Columbus every day Monday through Friday for treatments. This is the end of her second week of doing so. So far, she is driving herself to the treatments. Klosterman said she never had any symptoms to indicate something was wrong. “It is weird,” said Klosterman, who will turn 37 on Nov. 30. “I hadn’t been to a doctor for a long time and hadn’t had a check-up in four years.” Then, this year she decided it was time to go. Testing she had undergone came back abnormal, with high levels of dysplasia. “An LEEP procedure was done at the hospital and they took out the strips of cells that were abnormal and burned them,” said the daughter of Bill Worden and Jami (Wheelock) Worden. “The pathology tests showed I tested positive for cancer. I was a little bit in shock, but I felt like nothing was wrong. I was to go back in for a follow up in four weeks, but they called me in two days. I was to have a hysterectomy on Aug. 22.” She underwent the procedure and was off work
for 5 1/2 weeks. She said the chemotherapy team will now schedule to meet with the radiation team to see when to start the chemo treatments. In the meantime, she is going to do whatever the doctors tell her to do, and a bigger goal now is to inform people that it’s important to visit their doctors regularly. “If I would have gone last year, I probably wouldn’t be going through this,” she said. “There are different cancers throughout my family, but there hasn’t been cervical cancer until now.” Read more about Jessi Klosterman at www.bluebagmedia.com.
Jessi Klosterman will be the guest of honor at a benefit Sunday to raise money for expenditures incurred during her treatment of cervical cancer. She just finished up her second week of radiation treatments at the James Cancer Center in Columbus. (Linda Moody photo)

Guides and actors for DCCA Ghost Walk announced GREENVILLE – Darke County Center for the Arts will continue a long-standing Halloween-season tradition when they host the annual Ghost Walk in downtown Greenville beginning at 7:30 p.m. on
Friday, Oct. 26, Saturday, Oct. 27, and Sunday, Oct. 28; and the organization will also host a new Ghost Walk in Greenville Union Cemetery on Sunday, Oct. 28 at 4:30 p.m. and again on Halloween night,
Wednesday, Oct. 31 at 6 p.m. Tour guides who will lead the Walks are Michael Bitner, Marilyn Delk, Tim Nealeigh, and Keith Rawlins. Actors who will spin additional spooky tales are
Gail Bankson, John and Karen Burkett, Nick Colby, Tanna Cornett, Larry Delk, Kianna Dishman, Katheleen Nealeigh, Wyatt Reed, Jan Roestamadji, Jamie Stocksdale, and Heather Voisard. Many of the tales to be spun are based on stories collected by Arcanum-area resident Rita Arnold which tell of local ghostly encounters; some newly discovered spooky stories will be included in both walks. “We are always pleased to present the Downtown Ghost Walk, and are very excited about the Cemetery Walk,â€? said DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan. “This is a great way for people of all ages to celebrate the season, learn a little local history, and have a lot of fun,â€? she continued. DCCA ofďŹ cials remind Ghost Walk participants that some tour sites include uneven terrain and may be dimly lighted. As in years past, the Downtown Ghost Walk will be held regardless of weather conditions; if seriously inclement weather occurs, the stories will be told at Memorial Hall. However, no appropriate alternative site is available at the Cemetery; therefore, bad weather will force a cancellation of the Cemetery Walk. Greenville Masonic Lodge #143 Craft Club will

MV CAP holding Weatherization Day GREENVILLE — Each October, Miami Valley Community Action Partnership (Miami Valley CAP) highlights the benefits of the Home Weatherization Assistance Program (HWAP) with a special event. However, this year the organization is stepping up the celebration with two events. In celebration of Weatherization’s many benefits, Miami Valley CAP will host HWAP events in both Preble and Darke Counties this year. The events are free and open to the public with free boxed lunches provided while featuring demonstrations of how Weatherization makes homes more energy ef efficient. These services result in residents receiving an average of 20 to 35 percent in utility savings. The Darke County event will be held Tuesday, Oct. 23 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Fox Run Apartments (1230 Adrien Ave.) in Greenville. These demonstrations will feature new attractions from Miami Valley CAP’s HWAP team in the form of the Heat, Air & Moisture House and the House of Pressure, the latter of which attracted hundreds of adults and children alike at county fairs this past summer. The Miami Valley CAP House of Pressure is also featured in a video at the following link: https:// www.youtube.com/ watch?v=q0qzr9

opportunities. It was during this visit that President Larson and Rector Helis Barraza signed an Agreement for Spanish Language Instruction and Related Cultural and Faculty Exchange. “Our partnership with CUR will use the technological expertise of the CUR Language Institute to connect these students, both from the USA and Colombia,” said President Larson. “The students will not only share academic content but, I feel, they will be able to motivate
and encourage each other to achieve their educational goals and understand the worldwide benefits of higher education.” This signed agreement will provide online Spanish language instruction from faculty at CUR to students enrolled in Edison State Spanish courses. The agreement also supports opportunities for students to visit CUR for advanced Spanish language immersion studies and cultural awareness experiences. Discussions of partnership oppor-
tunities began earlier this summer when Rector Barraza and Vice Rector for Academic Affairs Milciades Pua visited Edison State. While on campus, CUR leaders met with President Larson and members of Edison State’s leadership team to explore joint coursework options. The partnership was initiated through Chairman Milligan’s involvement and leadership in the Presbytery of the Miami Valley’s Colombia Mission Partnership and Presbyterian World

GREENVILLE – Empowering Darke County Youth had a record 100 student requests for its first week of After School tutoring. This was a major increase over the 79 received at the beginning of 2017. Helping Empowering and Edison State tutors get the program off to a good start were Aktion Club members Mandy Grooms and Jesse Younker, who distributed snacks and drinks to the 40 Greenville K-8 students showing up the first day. Treasurer David Olinger and member Matt Strickland had gone on a shopping spree and purchased enough snacks and drinks to last several weeks. Aktion Club is a service program sponsored by Kiwanis of Greenville. Empowering thanks club members for their generous donation. They have made the snack issue – at least in the beginning – a nonissue. It was also appreciated that they helped distribute the snacks and got to meet the kids they were helping. According to Bob Robinson, program coordinator, all students so far have been confirmed to participate in the program. Resources in 2017 only allowed 59 student confirmations, leaving many students waiting for help. “Our goal this fall was no waiting list,” he said. “We spent most of August making sure we had the resources and procedures in place to make that goal a reality. “Assistant Program Coordinator Kay Sloat did most of the heavy lifting,” Robinson continued. “We had discussed how we were going to make sure support materials, and students, were grouped by grade or skill level. She made it happen.” Attendance during Week 1 ranged from 40 to 49 students, compared to 28 to 34 in 2017. Student needs included reading, comprehension, writing, math and homework. Despite the increase in the number of students, student to tutor ratio was still about 3-to-1. Although there were student increases at all grade levels, the biggest were for kindergarten and middle school, 5 to 8. “It was a little chaotic the first couple of days,” Robinson noted. “Once we adapted to the different grade level increases, the rest of the week

went smoothly and, I thought, successfully.” Robinson added there will likely be many more students requesting help over
the next few weeks. “We need volunteers,” he said. “We have procedures set up to give volunteers the tools to work with preferred age groups
and subject matter. It’s a good system and it is adaptable to changing needs. We just need adults to help us.” The Empowering Mission: Empowering Darke County Youth is a United Way Partner Agency providing After School and Summer Tutoring programs to assist students in the areas of language arts and math with the goal of Strong Students for a Strong Community.
The Aktion Club, an organization sponsored by Kiwanis of Greenville, has supported Empowering Darke County Youth with a recent donation. Aktion Club Treasurer David Olinger and club member Matt Strickland spent $150, approved by the club, to purchase snacks for EDCY tutoring.
