Board rejects bids for school storage building SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE - Greenville Board of Education members have agreed to reject bids from three contractors for an outside storage building at the new K8th grade building site. On Thursday, Oct. 20, the board discussed the bids during their work session prior to their regular monthly meeting, agreeing to modify their wish list by eliminating one of two outside storage rooms, one of two overhead doors and a reﬂective ceiling that would have enhanced lighting inside the storage unit. The board also agreed to change from an 8-inch to a 3-inch cap for block work planned for the outside of the storage building. In September, the district received three bids for the storage unit: $177,800 from Brumbaugh Construction; $138,000 from Arcon Builders; and $131,100 from K&T Construction. The three builders also submitted alternate bids for the masonry work: $24,000 from Brumbaugh Construction; $44,600 from K&T Construction; and $33,750 from Arcon Builders. Board President Fred Matix opened the discussion, telling fellow board members and construction representatives in attendance he had concerns about the costs of the unit and that the board had an obligation “to be responsible with taxpayers’ money.” Matix also said he hoped by eliminating some of the features initially discussed for the storage unit, that bids would come in under $100,000.

During the board’s regular meeting Thursday, the board unanimously agreed to re-advertise for bids for the storage building as soon as possible. Also during their regular meeting, the board approved a recommendation by Treasurer Carla Surber to enter into a contract with David Terry Fine Art Restoration Appraisals for work to be completed on the historic paintings currently located in the junior high building. The paintings will be removed by the restoration company, transported to David Terry’s Columbus location for work to be completed before coming back to hang in Greenville High School. The work is not to exceed $9,850, according to the approved contract. During open discussion at the end of the meeting, board member Brad Gettinger said he had been approached by concerned parents asking if students would be able to tour the new school prior to the January move-in date. Superintendent Doug Fries said he had been in contact with building principals and they had agreed to set the week of Dec. 1216 to take students to tour their new facility for a walk-thru. A public open house will be planned at the new school following the move this coming winter, Fries said. Fries also reported to board members 35 abatement and demolition contractors attended a pre-bid meeting this past week, with a second meeting set for Nov. 1 for contractors to walk through the buildings on their own. Bids for the demolition of the older schools are due by Nov. 8.

Jennings makes $800,000 gift to Friends of Harmon Field GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Friends of Harmon Field announced an $800,000 gift by Brad Jennings and his family Alex, Madeline, Gavin, Steve, Beth, Emma, Christian and Collin to support the Greenville Track and Field Complex. “It has a lot to do with my niece,” Jennings said. “My older brother Steve, which is my only sibling, still lives here in Greenville.” “Steve has three kids but his youngest is in track right now and just hearing her over the year talk about how bad this track is just got me to the point I want her to run on that track next year so I reached out to Matt Light,” continued Brad. “We had a few conversations…’let’s make this happen.’ He is a phenomenal guy.” The Jennings family was honored on the ﬁeld at halftime during Friday night’s Homecoming game between the Green Wave and the Tippecanoe Red Devils. In recognition of their generosity, the new Track and Field Complex will bear their name upon completion. The Friends of Harmon Field committee

members and the Greenville City School Board are honored to have Brad Jennings and his family forever memorialized by naming Phase 1 “The Jennings Center Track and Field Complex.” Brad is a graduate of Greenville Senior High School where he was a Varsity Wrestler and amassed several achievements including: Career Record of 85-20, 2-time GMVC Conference Champion, won 6-invitational titles, 10-pins in less than one minute, 2-time District qualiﬁer and a 1993 State quali-

ﬁer. “Coach Keagy was very special to me,” said Jennings. “I wrestled all four years. There were several good wrestlers; (Greg) Blosser, (Matt) Guillozet and others.” The anticipated completion date for the “The Jennings Center Track and Field Complex” is the fall of 2017. “I am very blessed,” stated Jennings. “This has a lot to do with just seeing how Greenville is building themselves up with the new school…the new Harmon Field. I just wanted to help.”

Jennings is currently a Franchise Partner with Lincoln Heritage Life Insurance and CEO of Financial Providence Group out of Westerville, Ohio. One year ago on October 17, 2015 Jennings presented The Ohio State University Wrestling Program a $2.5 million gift to support the wrestling program during halftime of OSU vs Penn State football game. In recognition of their generosity, OSU’s new wrestling practice facility will bear the Jennings name.

Preschoolers meet Sparky, learn fire safety tips BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – Three-, four- and five-year olds enrolled in the New Beginnings class at The Learning Place went home Tuesday with a very important assignment. “When you go home today ask your mom and dad what your address is and memorize it,” Greenvillle Firefighter Levi Robbins instructed the young students. “In case you ever have a fire at your house.” Visiting with the preschoolers was part of the fire department’s efforts to educate school children during Fire Prevention Month. Robbins and firefighter Tyler Cook brought Sparky the Fire House Dog to visit with the young students, passing out kid-sized firefighter hats and stickers as they practiced the Stop, Drop and Roll safety technique. Cook also demonstrated putting on his fire gear, letting the students listen as he talked through his mask and what it sounded like when he breathed using

his self-contained breathing apparatus. As Cook demonstrated putting on and taking off his fire suit, Robbins reminded the preschoolers they were seeing the “same person underneath” all the gear. Students also learned about how to leave a smoke-filled room, demonstrating their crawling skills under a sheet held just a few inches above the floor of their classroom. The firefighters also touched on what to do if the students found matches or lighters, and the preschoolers patiently took turns for the opportunity to sit inside a Greenville Fire Truck. Teachers for the New Beginnings class, Kim Bowers, Amy Middleton and Amanda Dillman also have been teaching fire safety tips this past week, and were grateful for the fire department’s interest in visiting their classroom. “Every year they come talk about fire safety,” Middleton said. “It’s nice to have the fire department come in and participate.”

Helping the Monarch GREENVILLE – You may have heard the plight of the Monarch Butterﬂy over the last few years. With their wintering grounds in peril from logging, weather, and human encroachment. There are ways we can help, even in Darke County. Through Oct. 30, the Darke County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) is collecting seed pods from the Common Milkweed plant. Whether as an individual or a group you can still make a difference in the Monarch Butterﬂy population

by collecting these pods. The Darke SWCD will be collecting these pods and sending them away to be dried and cleaned. A portion of these seed will be sent back to Darke County to be incorporated with other seed mixes to be planted for pollinator species. If you would like to help, call the Darke SWCD at (937) 548–1752 or follow them on Facebook, Twitter, or website at darkeswcd.com to ﬁnd out where the seed pods can be dropped off.

Naturally Fit Series continues with DCP GREENVILLE – Darke County Parks is hosting a series of ﬁtness programs called Naturally Fit occurring the fourth Monday of every month. Everyone wants to lead healthier lives and spend more time outdoors. However, workout machines aren’t always environmentally friendly, and gyms aren’t very exciting. Besides, sometimes life just gets in the way. Use these programs as an “excuse” to schedule time outside and get moving.

Each of these programs focuses more on ﬁtness than nature, with everyone moving at their own pace, whether that’s one loop or 10. The October program will take place Oct. 24, 4:30 p.m., at Shawnee Prairie Preserve which has more than two miles of trails through woods and mature prairies. The park is located on State Route 502 West just outside of Greenville. Meet there, and don’t forget to bring a water bottle.

Midmarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst vascular screening beneďŹ t raises nearly $6,000 BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

VERSAILLES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; After the unexpected death of 10-year Midmark employee Bob Menke, the company wanted to help raise awareness of the importance of vascular screening. Partnering with the Wayne HealthCare Foundation, Mitch Eiting, the Global Community Relations Manager for Midmark Corporation, helped organize the 4 Miles for Heart & Health beneďŹ t run/walk. With a healthy lifestyle and no family history of heart disease, Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition went undiagnosed. After complaining of not feeling well during a run last year with his wife Erica, Bob suffered from a heart attack that took

his life at the young age of 38. Through this annual event, Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family, Midmark and its â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feel the H.E.A.T.â&#x20AC;? wellness team hope to increase community accessibility to coronary calcium scans, which are available at most hospitals. The test identiďŹ es calciďŹ cation and plaque build-up in coronary arteries, helping to identify potential heart disease complications. Saturday marked the inaugural year for what is planned to be held annually on Sweetest Day. Over 150 people took part in the four mile run â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which started at Midmark and ďŹ nished at the Winery at Versailles. The event raised over $5,900 which will be donated to the Wayne HealthCareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Cardiopulmonary Center to make vascular screening available for anyone wishing to prevent a tragedy such as the Menke family had to endure following the loss of Bob. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wayne HealthCare Foundation is proud to be a partner for this event with Midmark Corporation. The Foundation is dedicated to philanthropy enhancing community education and wellness close to home. Prevention education is a large part of community health aligning with our mission,â&#x20AC;? stated Foundation Director Lauren Henry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wayne HealthCare performs many prevention screenings and is honored to be at the event with information about self-directed testing and

ON YOUR MIND

BBB urges caution in political season BY JOHN NORTH, PRESIDENT/CEO BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU

Election Day is just over two weeks away. As the politicians scramble to garner your vote, scam artists are looking for ways to separate you from your money and steal your identity. BBB offers ways to keep you safe from election scams. In the 2012 U.S. Presidential election, almost 129 million Americans casted a vote. With more than 324 million people in the U.S., scammers find many ways to smooth talk their way into the pockets of American voters. Before you cast your ballot, BBB shares these red flags and what you should look for: * Beware of campaign fund collections. Be cautious when answering a call claiming to be from a political party representative, election committee member or even the candidate. While political groups are exempt from abiding by the National Do Not Call registry, scammers can easily spoof Caller ID and appear like they are calling from legitimate organizations. They may call asking for your vote and then request a donation. To avoid this scam, get the caller’s contact information and do your own research. If you decide to support a candidate, look online and find your preferred candidate’s campaign number and call directly to ensure you’re reaching the right office. * Watch for voter registration scams. With this scam, people receive phone calls

claiming they need to reregister to vote. The scammer claims you have been taken off of the voter list. He or she is seeking personal information, including address, e-mail, bank account information and Social Security numbers. Never give out personal information to strangers. If you believe you have received a call like this, report it to your county clerk and BBB. * Be sure to avoid election survey scams. The scammer explains a survey is being conducted on behalf of a political party and if you answer all of the questions, you’re eligible to win a prize. The scam occurs when you’re asked to provide personal financial information to pay for taxes or the shipping and handling of the prize. Remember, never give out personal information over the phone, especially to someone you don’t know. Be suspicious of callers promising prizes, cash or other items if you first pay a fee. Prizes are free. You should never have to pay upfront to receive a prize. * Don’t respond to vote by phone, e-mail or text messages. Voting can only be done by an absentee ballot or at an official polling station. Again, report it to your county clerk or BBB. Remember, if you are aware of any political-related scams, report it to the BBB Scam Tracker at www. bbb.org/scamtracker/dayton. For more information on scams, visit www.bbb. org or call (937) 222-5825 or (800) 776-5301.

Deer season is now underway in Ohio For motorists, a deer hunter is the best defense between you and an auto insurance JIM BUCHY claim. In OHIO Ohio, huntREPRESENTATIVE ers are a critical part of managing the deer population and this deer season will be no exception. Archery season in Ohio for deer hunters began on Sept. 24 and will run through Feb. 5, while deer gun season will begin on Nov. 28 and end on Dec. 4, with a bonus season Dec. 17 and 18. Hunters using a muzzleloader will have another opportunity in the New Year, with a four-day season Jan. 7-10, and youth deer gun season will be Nov. 19-20. Once again, bag limits have stayed the same as last year. In Auglaize, Darke, Mercer, and Shelby counties, hunters will be under the two-deer bag limit. These bag limits are established by county lines, so you should

consult the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) handbook on bag limits in other counties. Hunters this year will be using the electronic checking system, which has successfully reduced administrative concerns during deer season and ensures that permit money is put to better use. ODNR is tasked with managing the deer population in the state and considers multiple factors before establishing bag limits. We are currently seeing the beneﬁts of a major push a few years ago to thin the deer population in the state—a practice that results in healthier deer. Ultimately, these state policies are focused on improving the hunting experience in Ohio. Whether you are hunting with a bow or a gun this deer season, please be safe and remember to wear your orange. Please give me your opinion on this topic and other issues in the news by completing a brief online survey at tinyurl.com/buchyoctober2016

ing World War II and after. He spent his first several years speaking only Ojibwa and living in a “tar paper shack” in the woods along highway 55 in the Mole Lake area in northern Wisconsin. As a child, he along with other Ojibwe children were kidnapped and then taken away to a government school in Lac du Flambeau for a brief period. He became ill and his uncle Sokaogon Chief Willard L. Ackley was able to bring him back to Mole Lake. Although both parents, Albert Ackley and Helen (Pete) Ackley had passed away when he was very young, he lived with various relatives and worked on a farm until he joined the US Army Air corps and later the Air Force serving in WWII. He left the air force after 10 years and married a Southwestern Ohio girl, Eugenia Marie, and settled in Greenville. Together they raised five children; his new wife’s sons John Brian and Charles James (deceased), form her previous marriage and son Richard Daniel, Jr., daughter Faleigh Jeanne and son Paul David. Richard worked as an electrician and sign painter in the Greenville area. Richard enjoyed public speaking engagements for many years in and around Darke County; speaking about his Native American culture and history and was an active participant in community activities/events and enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren. He was recognized as a local artist and sign painter around the Greenville community and was a regular participant in the many historic events that took place in Greenville and Darke County throughout the years, along with taking the time to make individual hand-drawn greeting cards each year for family and friends. Richard was always homesick for Mole Lake throughout the years and was eager to return to his boyhood home in Forrest County. Following the death of Marie in 1995 he returned to Mole Lake. Richard was honored April 27, 2015, during his participation in the World War II “Never Forgotten Honor Flight XIX” trip to Washington, DC along with his fellow WWII US military veterans. As per Richard’s request, there will be no ceremony held. He has requested his ashes be spread out in his homeland. By his request, instead of flowers, he would appreciate donations made to the Forest County Humane Society in his name. The Ackley family would like to especially thank the AGI Health Care Crandon for its dedicated staff and excellent caring for our Father and ensuring that his remaining time on earth was both memorable and enjoyable.

Arcanum eases coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;worst nightmareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

ARCANUM â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Cedarville Lady Indians were staring certain defeat at the hands of the Catholic Central Lady Irish in round of the OHSAA Sectional Volleyball tournament held in the Arcanum gymnasium without stepping foot on the volleyball court. With their uniforms back in Cedarville, the Lady Indians were facing a forfeit when Arcanum Athletic Director and Sectional Tournament Director Brian Sprada jumped into action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those things where you feel for a team,â&#x20AC;? said Sprada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things happen and we had an opportunity to help. I called around to some athletic directors to get their opinion on things being a ďŹ rst time sectional tournament manager and had some good advice and that was one of the options for them. You hate to see kids that have played all year end up losing their season on something like that.â&#x20AC;?

With all parties working together, the problem was solved when Arcanum High School offered their volleyball uniforms to the Cedarville Lady Indians so the tournament match could be played as scheduled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatever it takes to play,â&#x20AC;? said Catholic Central Coach Stacey Webster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s silly to have to forfeit because you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have your uniforms. Cedarville is in our league. It could happen to anybody.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is absolutely amazing,â&#x20AC;? said Cedarville Coach Kelsey Carter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like the biggest heart attack. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst nightmare. Arcanun was so generous, so supportive and so sweetâ&#x20AC;Śand the refs were really helpful as well.â&#x20AC;? A graduate of Cedarville University, Carter was a setter on the Cedarville University Yellow Jackets volleyball team for Coach Teresa Clark and studied under the direction of Greenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dr. Steve Gruber. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was our education guy at Cedarvillle,â&#x20AC;? Carter said of Gruber. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m physi-

cal education and healthâ&#x20AC;Ś so I was under his tutelage for that.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so awesome. There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even a momentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hesitation,â&#x20AC;? stated Carter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hey let me see if I have uniforms and if we have uniforms you can use them,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and they did.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our girls were trying to ďŹ nd sizes that worked,â&#x20AC;? continued Carter, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and they put them on. We are so grateful because we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have even gotten the opportunity to do thatâ&#x20AC;Śplay and play our hearts out if they hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t helped us out.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is one of the feel good stories,â&#x20AC;? said Brian Hanson, father of Cedarville volleyball player Brianna Hanson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We heard that our girls had forgotten their uniforms on the way here. We actually turned around to go back to get them but we were out of time.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we arrived I was waiting to pay my admission because we were told that we would have to forfeit if we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have our uniforms. When we walked through the door my wife poked in and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re

wearing uniformsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;Śand we were like, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that all about because we knew that ours werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t here yet.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We walked in and they were wearing Arcanumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uniforms,â&#x20AC;? continued Hanson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those neighbors helping neighbors. They wanted us to play and we were very, very grateful, otherwise we would have had to forfeit, so they allowed us to play because of that.â&#x20AC;? Hansen, a missionary with GateKeepers Ministries works with sports teams including the Columbus Blue Jackets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an American story,â&#x20AC;? stated Hanson of Arcanumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generosity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We took up a collection to just ask if the (Arcanum) Athletic Director could buy the girls their volleyball team pizza or something and he said noâ&#x20AC;Śjust share the story that we did something good and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell you, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll share that far and wide.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very appreciative of a neighbor helping a neighbor and Arcanum High Schoolâ&#x20AC;Śit was just an awesome thing they did and our hearts are full

because of it,â&#x20AC;? added Hansen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a lot of complements from the (Cedarville) parents,â&#x20AC;? said Sprada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to hear. We just want to put on a good front for them and reďŹ&#x201A;ect well on Arcanum and Arcanum Schools.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Its high school athletics, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what it is,â&#x20AC;? added Sprada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Athletics

play a huge roll in the education experience of every childâ&#x20AC;Śthatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my belief. Both teams, Catholic Central was ďŹ ne with it so letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go with it. It worked out for everybody.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to play and there is no sense in not playing without the uniforms,â&#x20AC;? concluded Central Coach Webster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatever worksâ&#x20AC;Śworks for me.â&#x20AC;?

Coach Gilmore promotes school spirit BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Greenville seventh grade football coach Josh Gilmore held his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fifth Annual Greenville Junior High Football Program Sing the Fight Song Talent Showâ&#x20AC;? in the GHS cafeteria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important as football players we know the ďŹ ght song,â&#x20AC;? said Coach Gilmore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just an important thing to me. I know Coach Shaffer feels the same way.â&#x20AC;? The seventh-graders are divided into groups of four

to perform the Green Wave Fight Song before a group of six senior varsity football player judges. Justin Brown, Erick Madison, Devin Hendrix, Logan Eldridge, Trae Wood Aaron Rich made up the panel of six judges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We face teams and sometimes it gets hard,â&#x20AC;? said Judge Justin Brown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a challenge, but to come out here and judge these kids with the talent they have this yearâ&#x20AC;Ś it is hard. It is deďŹ nitely a struggle to come up with a winner.â&#x20AC;?

Brown and Rich have long had a penchant to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;big timeâ&#x20AC;? talent judges as the two could not hide their passion for the duties at hand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Probably about 40 minutes ago when I walked in the room,â&#x20AC;?

Lady Jets Soccer advances with 2-1 win BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

PITSBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It may have been a home game in the ďŹ rst round of the Ohio High School Athletic Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer tournament for the Franklin Monroe Lady Jets, but the matchup between the evenly matched 11th seed and 12th seeded Greeneview was a struggle. At the buzzer it was Franklin Monroe on top 2-1. This was the Lady Rams second visit to Franklin Monroe this month. After earning a 2-1 win over the Lady Jets on Oct. 8, Greeneview felt they had a chance to knock off the home team. However, an early goal by FM allowed the Lady Jets to stick to their game plan. With barely a minute having ticked off the clock, Bryanna Diceanu took the ball up the middle to get

the score and gave the Jets a 1-0 lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scoring in the ďŹ rst 2 1/2 minutes was big,â&#x20AC;? said Coach Scott Howell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We talked about it before the game. If we score, what do we want to do with not having the wind at our back?â&#x20AC;? The answer was to conserve energy and go into defensive mode. All of FMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s players played defense and any ball they can get a foot on is sent ďŹ&#x201A;ying. The strategy works on two levels â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it helps to prevent break away shots on goal and it frustrates the offense. The downside to the defense is if a defender commits a foul and allows the offense to set up a play. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what happened with 3:22 remaining in the ďŹ rst half. Franklin Monroe gave up a foul about 30-yards from the goal and allowed the Lady Rams to position

their offense in front of the goal. Greeneview sent the perfect shot over the heads of the defenders and into the back of the net to tie the score. Even with the score, Howell believes his game plan worked to the beneďŹ t of his team in the second half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (Greeneview) got tired and we still had a lot of energy left and were able to get the job done,â&#x20AC;? he said. With 27:57 remaining in the game, Diceanu got her second goal of the night and this time it was a game winner. A pass to her feet about six-yards out allowed Diceanu to make a quick turn to take a shot. The ball stayed on the ground and squirted past the goal keeper. Lady Jetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fans came out in full force for the ďŹ rst round tournament game. Over 70 t-shirts were purchased and given to stu-

ond Wave goal by way of a header to give the Green Wave boys a 2-0 advantage just one minute and 39 seconds into the match giving the locals two goals at 38:21 in the ďŹ rst half of play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came out reallygood in the beginning,â&#x20AC;? stated Coppess. The Vikings would battle back to score back-to-back goals at 7:38 and 6:07 in the ďŹ rst; a span of 1:31 on the clock to send the match to the break with the teams tied at 2-2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Slacked off a little bit,â&#x20AC;? Coppess said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scoring two goals that quick tends to put us on our heelsâ&#x20AC;Śrelax a little but the second half they cleaned it up.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Had a little talkâ&#x20AC;Śa little encouraging talk a halftime,â&#x20AC;? continued Coppess. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They came back out and played with a lot more intensity the second half.â&#x20AC;? The second half of play

was a defensive battle at both ends of the ďŹ eld as the Waveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;1â&#x20AC;? 162 pound senior four year starter and captain, AJ Frens kept Miamisburg off the board with outstanding defensive plays in front of the Vikings net from his goal keeper position. With the clock winding down and overtime almost certain, Garland would ďŹ nd the back of the net for his heroic goal, his second of the night with just 10 seconds showing on the Green Wave scoreboard to give the Greenville boys a hardearned 3-2 tournament win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Excellent job out of him,â&#x20AC;?

dents attending the game. The box ofďŹ ce ran out of shirts a 1/2-hour before game time. In addition, the soccer parents organized a

tailgate party prior to the game. Howell said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our fansâ&#x20AC;ŚWe needed this. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like high school girls sometimes get the

appreciation for the effort they put in.â&#x20AC;? He concluded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without them we might have been in trouble tonight.â&#x20AC;?

Wave boys stun Vikings with last second goal in tournament play BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

Little Italian to offer a family-friendly option BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – With a focus on healthy eating and family fun, The Little Italian Restaurant at 180 East Third St, Greenville, will soon be open for business. Tina Bandedo, owner of El Camino Real on Wagner Avenue, has been working to realize her dream to reopen the Italian eatery – with a twist. “It’s all about family,” Bandedo said. “I love kids. It’s going to be about a family place.” The mother of four children age 14 and under, Bandedo said she’d been thinking a lot about nutrition as well as how families need a spot to go for fun. “It’s hard to bring kids out.

Bandedo has been researching Italian cuisine and will be making homemade pasta sauces, including tomato-based sauces and Alfredo sauce. “Healthy and homemade recipes,” she said. “The Little Italian is going to be our baby.

The Mexican restaurant has been at its Wagner Street location in the old Ponderosa since 2010. Bandedo recently updated the inside of El Camino Real, as well as changing and adding some healthier options to the menu. “My goal in 2017 is to give customers more information about healthy ways to eat and offer more to choose from,” she said, explaining that her restaurant’s menus will include

Arcanum-Butler seeks people to honor

(Chris Norris photo)

Woodland students learn ﬁre prevention and safety tips GREENVILLE – The Dalmatian Duo of Rage & Rocko, along with members of the Greenville Township Fire Department, were at Woodland Primary School on Friday sharing ﬁre prevention and safety tips with the students. As part of National Fire Prevention Week, the

They also deliver the message of “Don’t Fear Firefighters in Gear” – having young elementary students see and hear fire personnel that are fully dressed in their life-

saving apparel – complete with their SCBA (self contained breathing apparatus). The firefighters get down on their hands and knees and crawl, as if they are searching for people in a house. The kids get to hear what it sounds like as the firefighters breathe and communicate with other firefighters – as their

Darke County Commissioners on Oct. 17 signed a proclamation in support of the 0.6 mill renewal of the Tri-County Mental Health & Recovery levy.

Commission supports mental health levy SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – Darke County Commissioners signed a proclamation Monday, Oct. 17, in support of the Tri-County Mental Health and Recovery levy, which will be on the Nov. 8 ballot. Voters in Darke, Miami and Shelby counties are being asked to renew the 0.6 mill levy, which generates approximately $2 million per year for mental health and recovery services. The levy was ﬁrst introduced in 1973. The commissioners’ proclamation acknowledges how mental illness affects 1 in 5 people during any given year and cites how drug abuse and addiction affects businesses and families in all socioeconomic groups. The Tri-County Mental Health provides a variety of programs to help combat drug abuse and offers assistance to those seeking mental health care as well as preventative and wellness services. Mark McDaniel, executive director of the TriCounty Board of Recovery & Mental Health Services was present during Monday’s commission meeting. “This is an important

levy to local agencies,” he explained. And for those with limited resources “Tri-County pays the balance of services people use.” McDaniel explained a sliding payment scale is used to assist clients who use mental health and recovery services. The ﬁve-year renewal is not an increase in taxes, McDaniel said. Darke County residents will continue to pay approximately $16 per year, or 5 cents per day. Also on Oct. 17, commissioners approved the purchase and installation of two new boilers for the Wagner Avenue Government Center. Commissioners have had to repair the existing units a couple of times since their installation 15 years ago, said John Cook, county business administrator. The current water leakage problem would cost around $15,000 to repair, he explained. “It’s not efﬁcient to me to repair two boilers again,” Cook said. After researching costs to install new gas boilers, Cook recommended purchasing two units from Slagle Mechanical in Sidney at a cost of $37,927. Work should be completed within two weeks, Cook said.

Ghost Walk information GREENVILLE – Darke County Center for the Arts’ thirteenth annual Ghost Walk on Oct. 28, 29, and 30 will feature costumed tour guides who lead participants to haunted sites in downtown Greenville as well as actors who will portray characters involved in the ghostly tales. Tour guides include Michael Bitner, Marilyn Delk, Tim Nealeigh, and Keith Rawlins. John Burkett, Karen Burkett, Shanna Camacho, Nick Colby, Larry Delk, Maxwell Jordan, Katheleen Nealeigh, and Jan Roestamadji will share spooky stories at some of the sites visited on the tour. The Ghost Walk will leave from St. Clair Memorial Hall at 7:30 p.m. and last at least an hour and a half each night. Greenville Masonic Lodge #143 Craft Club will be serving refreshments at Memorial Hall before and after the

event. The stories told during the Ghost Walk are based on tales collected by Arcanum-area resident Rita Arnold who has published several volumes recounting spooky happenings within Darke County and beyond. Andrea Jordan, DCCA executive director, also reminds Ghost Walk participants that some tour sites include uneven terrain and dimly lighted areas. Tickets for Ghost Walk cost $10, and are available at Greenville Public Library, Ann’s Gifts, Readmore’s Hallmark, and Darke County Visitors Bureau Welcome Center in downtown Greenville; tickets will also be sold at the door. Tickets may be reserved by contacting DCCA at 937-547-0908 or dcca@ centerforarts.net or purchased online at www.centerforarts.net.

GREENVILLE – Grammy award-winners Riders in the Sky are returning to Greenville’s St. Clair Memorial Hall for two performances, Nov. 12 and 13. The performances are being presented by the Darke County Center for the Arts. A true Western genre musical group, Riders in the Sky offers fun, familyfriendly entertainment, says group member Ranger Doug. “A big part of our show is making people happy, taking people’s cares away for a couple hours,” he said during a recent phone interview with The Early Bird. “It’s all entertainment, They’re not coming to see a dry museum piece.” The group formed in 1977, with its three original members Ranger Doug, Too Slim and Woody Paul, with Joey, the CowPolka King joining 29 years ago. Riders in the Sky will bring their salute to Roy Rogers, featuring clips of Roy’s greatest moments on screen as well as tunes made famous by the Western icon to the 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12 performance, “The King of the Cowboys.” “Our Roy Rogers album is close to our 40th album,” Ranger Doug said. “We’ve done 7,029 performances since we began 40 years ago.” The group’s ﬁrst performance was Nov. 11, 1977.

As part of the 30th annual Heritage Club Dinner in Sidney on Oct. 11, Casalano was honored as the 2016 recipient of the organization’s prestigious Triangle of Honor (TOH) award. The award, started in 2008, is the highest honor the YMCA can bestow and recognizes individuals with a record of innovative, inspirational, highly successful leadership in support of the Sidney-Shelby County YMCA. Triangle of Honor inductees are recognized by their peers as someone admired for their service to the YMCA. “My journey of more than 27 years has not been about just work. The success I was blessed with wasn’t because of a certain technique or training...it’s about falling in love with what you do and

then selling that love,” Casalano stated during his induction speech. Born in Italy, now 58year-old Casalano came to the United States in 1984 planning to continue his engineering education...fortunately for the Y things worked out a bit differently than he had planned. With a background as an internationally-acclaimed gymnast and coach, Casalano was instrumental in helping the Sidney YMCA build a nationally-ranked Kinetics program which consisted of gymnastics, tumbling, acrobats and cheerleading. Under Sam’s leadership, four of the Y’s competitive programs combined to win 140 district, regional and national championships. One of Casalano’s most notable accomplishments with the Sidney-Shelby County YMCA included helping to convert their 36-year-old membership structure that resulted in the Y being ranked in the top two percent in the country in customer service and membership retention. “It’s hard to feel worthy of this award when I look at the past recipients,” added Casalano. “I have always admired their passion and dedication to

the Y and held them in the highest regard. To be among them is very humbling and gratifying.” Casalano became the 20th Triangle of Honor inductee, joining the ranks of such individuals as TOH Selection Committee Chairman and former CEO Dennis Ruble, who was inducted in 2011. “Sam is a person committed to excellence. He has a passion for the mission of the YMCA and his role in delivering on that mission,” Ruble stated during Casalano’s TOH introduction. “Since joining the Sidney-Shelby County YMCA he spent 23 years making a difference in the lives of thousands of individuals. You have left ‘footprints’ on the

hearts of many here, and on behalf of those hearts, I say thank you and welcome as the 20th member of the Triangle of Honor!” Since his move to Darke County nearly three years ago, Casalano has continued his legacy of success and passion for progress. With continuing rise in membership numbers and facility upgrades at both Greenville and Versailles branches, Casalano and his staff are excited for what the next few years will bring to the Darke County YMCA.

“Many businesses develop their business plans and budgets this time of year for the coming year, so this is a timely tool to aid businesses in their strategic process,” said Darke County Chamber of Commerce President Sharon Deschambeau. In 2015 there were ﬁve chambers and one human resources council that participated in the survey. The 2016 survey has signiﬁcantly more data because the Darke County Cham-

The survey contains information on wages and beneﬁts such as health care insurance, vacation and sick days, short and long-term disability, life insurance, drug testing, background checks and more. Deschambeau also noted Darke County’s low unemployment rate is requiring many employers to revisit their employee offerings to remain competitive. “The survey information is important in becoming or remaining competitive locally,” she said.

Getting to the Core of the Matter Some years back, I taught an â&#x20AC;&#x153;absâ&#x20AC;? class at a local ďŹ tness center. At the time, the class ďŹ lled up because there was an impression that if you do enough abdominal exercises, fat around the midsection would melt away and magically, â&#x20AC;&#x153;six pack absâ&#x20AC;? would be exposed. This sounds great, but the reality is that the body doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work that way. First, science shows us that fat on the body goes away if you are in a calorie deďŹ cit. This means that you need to consume less calories than you burn in a day. Body composition (how much fat versus how much other tissue you have) is a bit more complicated than this, but to lose, a calorie deďŹ cit is most important. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assume you are eating and exercising to lose fat. For each person, the optimal mix is different and can change over time. Basically, you want to eat and exercise for your goals. If your goal is a stronger core, what does that mean? Your core is the middle of your body. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly your torso through your pelvis. It is much more

Diana Unger

Personal Trainer than your abdominal muscles. A stronger core may help with balance (critical for the aging population), as well as help you perform more athletically in any given sport. Interestingly, there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much science on whether or not doing a lot of abdominal exercises actually enhances athletic performance. On the contrary, there is some science that shows both crunches and sit ups can actually cause spine issues due to how they are executed. Perhaps youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen them done with hands behind the head, pulling the head forward to sit up all the way (putting stress on the neck), or even ďŹ&#x201A;opping back on the ground, or putting the chin on

the chest as the person sits/crunches up. Turns out these technique errors can cause sit ups and crunches to result in a person performing worse athletically. What can you do to build a strong core? If you do weight training with challenging weight (which can be body weight or using gym equipment), your core is going to get stronger. A well-designed strength training plan will strengthen the hips, the back, and the abdominal muscles. Planks are one example of an exercise that works on strength in all of these areas. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debatable whether or not holding a plank longer than a couple of minutes has any performance advantages, but integrating them into your exercise routine a few times a week with good form can be helpful â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether you are an athlete or just training for this thing we call â&#x20AC;&#x153;lifeâ&#x20AC;?. Doing squats, deadlifts, bench pressing, overhead shoulder work and many other types of exercises can build core strength when executed properly. There are also

abdominal-speciďŹ c exercises that are shown to improve core strength: bicycle maneuver, scissors, leg lifts, lying heel touches. If you are not able to get up and down off the ďŹ&#x201A;oor, using water resistance in a pool is a good option with some upright exercises and there are some standing versions that can work, too. The key is to ďŹ nd exercises that work for your ďŹ tness goals and then do them with consistency in the right frequency. If you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure how to do these exercises correctly, seek out certiďŹ ed/ trained exercise professionals to ensure you learn how to perform the right version of the right exercises for your goals. Be sure to consult with medical professionals before starting any new exercise program. They know your medical history best.

My Easy Chicken

What I like about this is that I can load up a tray/pan or the grill, use the cooked chicken that day, and then have plenty left over for meals later in the week. This is good on sandwiches, in salads, by itself, for breakfast or any time you need lean protein quickly. I use this method with tenderloins, cutlets, boneless breasts or thighs. The thicker the cut of meat, the longer it has to cook. Heat oven to 350 F. Lightly spray a jelly roll pan with oil. Place chicken pieces on the pan with no overlap of pieces. Season with herbs and/or spices. Some of my favorites are thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. Bake about 20-30 minutes or until internal temperature of the meat is 165 F for 15 seconds. Cook times may need to be increased with bone-in chicken. It is important to make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through before consuming. Remove from oven when done, and store leftovers in freezer-safe containers for â&#x20AC;&#x153;fast foodâ&#x20AC;? for use another day. Enjoy!

Understanding seasonal affective disorder Some people easily adjust to less daylight, while others experience a condition known as season affective disorder, or SAD. SAD is a disorder related to changes in seasons. According to the Mayo Clinic, the majority of people with SAD begin to experience symptoms in the fall and continue battling those symptoms throughout the winter. The tail end of Day-

light Saving Time in 2016 occurs on November 6, when millions of people will turn their clocks back one hour. Few people enjoy turning the clocks back in autumn as much as they enjoy turning them forward in spring. Turning the clocks forward affords many people, in particular working professionals who spend much of their weekdays working in-

doors, a chance to enjoy some sunlight when leaving their ofďŹ ces each day. However, once the clocks are turned back, professionals typically ďŹ nd themselves leaving their ofďŹ ces under a cover of darkness. Some people easily adjust to less daylight, while others experience a condition known as season affective disorder, or SAD. SAD is a disor-

der related to changes in seasons. According to the Mayo Clinic, the majority of people with SAD begin to experience symptoms in the fall and continue battling those symptoms throughout the winter. The end of Daylight Saving Time occurs in early November, and the onset of SAD symptoms is no doubt related to the decreased exposure to daylight many people ex-

Managing diabetes during the holiday season The holiday season is synonymous with many things, including food. Family gatherings and holiday ofďŹ ce parties wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the same without great food. Food plays such a signiďŹ cant role during the holiday season that many people are worried about overindulging. Some celebrants can afford to overindulge, while others must resist temptation. Diabetics fall into the latter category, as the festive mood of the season does not mean people with diabetes can throw dietary

caution to the wind. With the holiday season upon us, diabetics can heed the following tips from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to help them stay on a healthy track. Âˇ Stick to your normal routine. While the holiday season can be unpredictable, the CDC advises diabetics stick to their normal routines as closely as possible. Because holiday guests cannot control food served to them at family gatherings or parties, the CDC recommends diabetics offer to

bring a healthy, diabeticfriendly dish along to any parties. In addition, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t skip meals during the day in anticipation of a large holiday meal. Doing so makes it hard to control blood sugar levels. Âˇ Be extra careful with alcohol. Alcohol is served or readily available at many holiday gatherings, and many people overindulge because of the festive mood of the season. Overindulging in alcohol is dangerous for anyone, but diabetics must be especially mindful of their alcohol consumption. Alcohol can lower blood sugar and interact with diabetes medicines. Diabetics who want to enjoy a holiday libation should keep their alcohol consumption to a minimum. Âˇ Eat slowly. Eating slowly can beneďŹ t anyone during the holiday season. Eating at a leisurely pace gives dinersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brains ample time to signal that their bodies are full. By eating quickly, diners may be eating more calories than they hoped to eat, and that can lead to uncomfortable feelings of fullness after a meal. Diabetics who can slow

down their eating are less likely to overindulge in less healthy holiday foods that can affect their blood sugar levels. Âˇ Remain active. The holiday season can be hectic, as adults often must juggle extraordinarily busy social schedules with the responsibilities of everyday life. Many people sacriďŹ ce time at the gym to ease the burden of hectic holiday schedules, but diabetics must resist that temptation. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases notes that routine physical activity helps diabetics keep their blood glucose levels in their target range. Physical activity also helps the hormone insulin absorb glucose into all of the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cells for energy. That extra energy boost can help diabetics fend off holiday-related fatigue. Diabetics face a lot of temptation come the holiday season. But with the right plan of action in place, men and women with diabetes can enjoy a healthy holiday season.

perience once clocks have been turned back. Those who suspect they might be susceptible to SAD can get a better grasp of the condition so they are capable of recognizing and responding to it should any symptoms appear. What is SAD? Mental Health America, a leading community-based nonproďŹ t dedicated to addressing the needs of those living with mental illness, deďŹ nes SAD as a mood disorder associated with depression and related to seasonal variations of light. Though many people may be saddened when the clocks are turned back and the sun sets earlier than it does in the warmer months, MHA notes that a diagnosis of SAD can only be made after the symptoms of SAD have appeared for three consecutive winters and have gone into remission once spring and summer have arrived. What are the symptoms of SAD? Simply feeling bummed out that winter is on the horizon does not mean a person has SAD. The following are some of the more common symptoms of the disorder: Âˇ Depression marked by feelings of misery, guilt, hopelessness, despair, and apathy. A loss of self-esteem may also

occur. Âˇ Feelings of anxiety that include tension and an inability to tolerate stress Âˇ Mood changes that are sometimes extreme; some SAD sufferers experience feelings of mania in spring and summer. Âˇ Changes in sleeping habits, such as a desire to oversleep and difďŹ culty staying awake. Some people may experience disturbed sleep and ďŹ nd themselves waking up in early morning when they are unaccustomed to doing so. Âˇ Feelings of fatigue and an inability to adhere to oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s normal routine Who is most likely to suffer from SAD? The Mayo Clinic notes that SAD is diagnosed more often in women than in men, and MHA notes that three out of four SAD sufferers are women. Young people are more likely than older people to get winter SAD, with MHA reporting that the main age of onset of SAD is between 18 and 30. Symptoms of SAD may worsen among people who have already been diagnosed with clinical depression or bipolar disorder. More information about seasonal affective disorder is available at www.mentalhealthamerica.net.

FIRST Lego League comes to Versailles VERSAILLES – The ﬁrst rule of FIRST Lego League Robotics: It’s not all about the robots; It’s about problem solving, learning how to write original programs, developing teamwork, and even ﬁguring out who your audience is and how to reach them. The students learn a lot about working

together as part of the process — how to sort out roles among themselves, play to each others’ strengths, and share responsibility. For last year’s challenge, TRASH TREK, the Super Snack Snatchers, for instance, used an Internet survey program to determine their elementary

school peers thought that recycling was boring. They found that elementary students like playing video games, and came up with a concept — complete with cost estimate — for a bottle recycling machine that would reward those who put a bottle in with a voucher good for video game time.

The combination of science, technology, engineering and math skills demonstrated by the ﬁve member team — to say nothing of their communications skills — earned high praise from judges at last year’s Yellow Springs FIRST Lego League qualifying tournament held at Yellow Springs High School. “That’s the core of STEM, right there,” said Eli Hurwitz, a teacher at Yellow Springs High School who was among the judges critiquing the team. He said the students’ idea for a reward system seemed to be completely original. The 18 teams, representing grades three through eight, were competing on the theme of “Trash Trek” — ﬁnding solutions to real world trash disposal problems. Teams also had to program a miniature Lego robot to carry out a series of tasks on a game table, using Lego pieces to represent trash, recyclable materials and compost. This year’s challenge is called “ANIMAL ALLIES”. Think of people and animals as allies in the quest to make life better for everyone. Sometimes people help animals and sometimes animals help people.

Medicine and More offers info on the flu GREENVILLE – It’s really tough to stay on top of all the health news these days. Since the flu season is right around the corner, here’s a snapshot of recent news stories about the flu vaccine. Flu shot helps people with diabetes. The seasonal flu vaccine is now

recommended for everyone 6 months and older, but for some people it can be a matter of life and death. During a sevenyear study, British researchers looked at a group of nearly 125,000 people with type 2 diabetes— people who have a higher risk of cardiovascular problems.

In those with type 2 diabetes, the flu vaccine was linked with reductions in fluseason hospital admissions, including a reduction in hospital admissions. Among those who received a flu shot, the death rate was 24 percent lower than in those who had not been vaccinated. The study didn’t prove

a cause-and-effect connection between the two, but the results are pretty compelling. Limits of the flu vaccine “twofer.” How do infants benefit when their moms have a flu shot during pregnancy? Previous studies showed a benefit, for sure. Now we know how long it likely lasts. Researchers in South Africa assessed more than 1,000 infants whose moms received a flu shot while pregnant. During the first eight weeks after birth the vaccines were 85.6 percent effective. After that, effectiveness ranged from about 25-30 percent for up to 24 weeks. It’s helpful to know this because current vaccines don’t work well in infants younger than six months, and infants have high rates of the flu. This is a good talking point to make sure that everyone else in your family is vaccinated. Get your flu shot. If you’re like many people, getting a flu vaccination can easily slip your mind. But a flu shot is too important to get bumped to the bottom of your priority list. Every flu season is different, and every person responds to the flu in a different way. The flu can lead to hospitalizations and even death. The flu season often begins in October, so there’s no better time than the present. Long-term protection. More good

news? Another study has found that flu vaccines offer moderate protection for about six months. That’s the length of most flu seasons. The study’s findings suggest that a flu shot in early fall may prevent the greatest number of cases. October or November is the best time to get your flu shot to give you protection through the end of flu season in March. Stop in at Medicine and More anytime for a flu shot this fall. They also will schedule times to come to your place of business to provide you with flu vaccinations for your workforce. Call them if we can be of service.

Support sought for Seminarian Fund GREENVILLE – Last year, 14 area men who are studying to be Catholic priests received a total of $10,500 from a local scholarship fund. The North Deaneries Seminarian Fund at the Darke County Foundation supported every seminarian from the Sidney and St. Mary’s deaneries of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. In thanking donors, sem-

inarians made the following remarks: * “I would like to personally thank all those who contributed to the seminarian fund so I could receive this scholarship. The journey to becoming a priest is not a journey I take by myself but with many other people, and you are a part of it.” * “In my time at seminary, I have come to realize what a great gift it is to have

It is because of your generosity that I am able to take this time to discern and prepare for my ministry as a priest. As I move toward ordination in the next few years, I ask for your prayers. It is truly a blessing to serve the Lord and His wonderful Church.” * “It is because of the lay faithful like yourselves that vocation numbers are growing once again. Above all else, the prayer support is noted most thankfully.” * “I am extremely grateful and humbled by your continued prayers and assistance. Your contributions

allow seminarians like myself to be free from ﬁnancial concerns and totally committed to following God’s call. May the Lord bless you and your families in abundance.” * “Please extend and make known my gratitude and deepest appreciation to the entirety of those who donated to the North Deaneries Seminarian Fund. Through donations like yours, I am able to discern and study in hopes of giving back one day in our community.” The scholarship fund was established in 2013 by Melvin and Mary Ann Stucke of Versailles, and the fund grew with additional donations from the community. The Stuckes have committed to match any 2016 donation up to $300. One hundred percent of donations go directly into the Seminarian Fund. Melvin emphasized that most seminarians incur tuition and living expenses aside from any ﬁnancial assistance provided by the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Undergraduate students in college seminaries receive limited assistance from the archdiocese. “We invite the community to join us in this effort to reinforce young men in their priestly studies,” said Melvin. “We feel that through the encouragement and prayer of so many supporters, the number of Catholic priests will continue to increase.” The North Deaneries Seminarian Fund will award scholarships again this year at the annual Serra Dinner for priests and seminarians in December. Donors may make a taxdeductible donation to the fund by writing a check to the Darke County Foundation (memo: Seminarian Fund). Mail to: Darke County Foundation, P.O. Box 438, Greenville, Ohio 45331. For more information, contact Melvin Stucke at (937) 526-3801.x

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

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

Museum will say goodbye to the brides VERSAILLES – The Versailles Area Museum has been most fortunate to have had on display 18 gowns from as early as the 1890’s to the 1990’s, including a display of four generations of gowns within one family. Their popular display of wedding gowns is about to leave the museum. It will soon be time to bring Christmas into the museum and they need to begin to make those changes.

If you have not seen these gowns you need to hurry because after Oct. 23 they will begin to send these lovely ladies home. They rarely repeat displays so it is hard to say when these gowns might, if ever be displayed again. It also should be noted they also have some of the gentleman’s wedding wear on display. The Museum is open each Sunday from 1-4 p.m. or by appointment.

WMPL will host beggars WEST MILTON – Beggars night in West Milton will be Oct. 31. The MiltonUnion Public Library will be having a walk-through haunted cave room ﬁlled with staff members dressed as cave bats. Staff will also be passing out candy at the front desk for trick-ortreaters. Stop by during beggars night Oct. 31 from 6-8 p.m. to see the decorations and get candy. For more information

about this or other programs, call 937-698-5515 or visit www.mupubliclibrary.org. The library is also in need of bubble wrap and padded envelopes for shipping purposes. Milton-Union Public Library is located at 560 S. Main St., West Milton and is open Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Friday and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Spooktacular storytelling BRADFORD – An evening of Spooktacular Storytelling will be held Oct. 25, 7–8:15 p.m., at the Bradford Public Library. This event is recommended for children 10+ and adults. Children ages 3-9 will be treated to a Spooktacular Movie. Refreshments, such as green punch, cookies

and candy, will be served. Bob Daugherty, an “expert haunting aﬁcionado” will be the storyteller for the evening. Come prepared to be spooked, startled and shocked. This is always well-attended so come early to get a seat. No sign-up is required for this event.
