Talent show will help preserve history RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – If you want to see some great entertainment while helping to preserve the county’s military history then the Greenville VFW, 219 N. Ohio St., is the place to be for the inaugural Mock Rock and Talent Show. Michael Maloney and other past commanders of local service organizations are banding together to make sure that Darke County’s veterans and their stories are not forgotten and this fundraiser is one way to make sure history will live on. The foundation for this project began in 1998 when the Greenville Veterans Memorial Park (located between VFW Post 7262 and American Legion Post 140) was built. The park played host to the Vietnam Travelling Wall, but local veterans wanted to do more than just put the wall in an empty field. One of the cornerstones for the park is a walkway that leads visitors along a trail of monuments memorializing Darke County’s Vietnam veterans that lost their lives defending and fighting for their country. Since 1998, several other monuments have been erected as a continual reminder of the sacrifice Darke County’s soldiers have given. Now, Maloney, past All American Commander, VFW Post 7262, is leading the charge in building a new memorial – a digital library. The

library will allow veterans to have their memories and memorabilia put in a digital format to be preserved for future generations. Maloney said, “We believe the best way to honor veterans is to maintain an accurate record for as many of them as possible.” In conjunction with the digital library, Maloney said they plan to build a state-ofthe art wall or structure in the Greenville Veterans Memorial Park that will display images 24 hours a day. He believes with the way technology has advanced, the possibilities are endless. Although the VFW has its share of fundraisers, Maloney said it will take a longterm plan and more than their normal chicken dinner fundraising to accomplish this goal. The Mock Rock and Talent Show will support these efforts. Tickets are $10 in advance or $15 at the door and can be purchased by calling 548-4004 or 542-096. In addition to a lot of great entertainment, Grumpy’s BBQ will be available. Local entertainers from lip syncing to bands to standup comedy will make the night fun for all. Three grand prizes will be awarded to winners. Awards will be Best Overall Show, Most Original Show and People’s Choice Show. For more information, visit the VFW or the social media sites or email GVMPDL@gmail.com or call 5480966.

Still time to submit vet photos GREENVILLE – The Early Bird will once again be honoring local veterans on Nov. 8. A special edition, featuring photos and stories of those that have served in the Armed Forces, will celebrate their sacriﬁce and service while ﬁghting to preserve our freedom. Pictures of family members and friends from area residents, past and present, that have served are currently being accepted. Past editions have featured photographs of soldiers beginning with the Civil War through those presently serving. In addition to continuing the tradition of accepting photographs, The Early Bird will also accept stories and memories from our veterans from their time in

service. Send or drop off photographs with the person’s name, branch of service and years served or stories/ memories to The Early Bird, c/o Veterans, 5312 Sebring Warner Road, Greenville, Ohio 45331. Photographs and information will also be accepted via email at editor@earlybirdpaper.com (please put Veteran in the subject line). For more information, call and ask for Ryan Berry, managing editor, 548-3330. The deadline for entries is Oct. 30, 4 p.m. To make it easier for some area residents, The Early Bird has kept past photographs and information on ﬁle. Call or email if you would like to have the information published in this year’s special section.

Sheriff’s Ofﬁce adds UAV drone to investigation inventory CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – The Darke County Sheriff’s Office has a new tool – an aerial drone – that will give the department an added advantage… an eye in the sky! Just as the military has utilized UAV drones in hostile territories oversees over the last several years, local law enforcement can now use aerial drones to help with many types of investigations. “This is a very valuable asset to the department,” stated Darke County Sheriff Toby L. Spencer. “This gives us a better viewpoint and without calling in aerial support from another agency somewhere.” The device, an Inspire 1 model from DJI, cost about $3,000 – that Sheriff Spencer says was completely paid for from impound lot fees collected over the years and cost the county absolutely nothing to purchase. “It not only doesn’t cost the taxpayers a dime, it has already proven to save a lot of manpower hours that will in turn save the county money,” Sheriff Spencer noted. Though it can be operated by one person, the drone is ideally operated by two individuals… one to fly and the other to maneuver the 94 degree field of view, on-board 12.4 M pixel camera. According to DCSO operator guidelines, the drone is not to be flown within five miles of an airport and should not exceed an altitude of 400 feet …to list a few safety practices. According to Det. Eric Hanes, who is the nor-

mal flight operator, the drone can stay in the air anywhere from 15-20 minutes – depending on the temperature outside. He and Det. Chris Clark are the primary trained operators of the drone and have already teamed up to aid in several local investigations. While in the air, Hanes typically has a visual on the actual craft, while Clark uses the aid of an app on a smartphone or tablet to take photos or record high definition (HD) video. DCSO has used the aerial device already for serious crash scene investigations and checking for illegal growing and manufacturing operations. The drone is an ideal tool for many other types of calls, including missing children, fleeing suspects, pre-planning for executing search warrants, hazmat and explosive investigations and several more. The only downside is that the current model is not equipped

with night vision or infrared technology… which means the UAV is limited to daytime or lighted area investigations only. “The drone will also come in handy to help search for elderly patients with Alzheimer’s that may have went off the roadway somewhere,” Sheriff Spencer added. “There are so many ways this will come in handy and save so much time!” According to Sheriff Spencer, his department

has had a number of calls already from local farmers asking for assistance in searching their fields for marijuana. For a complete specifications of the DJI Inspire 1 model, log on to DJI. com. If you would like more information about the new UAV drone, contact the Darke County Sheriff’s Office at 548-3399 or email Sheriff Spencer at tspencer@darkecountysheriff. org.

Voter registrations are up; turnout likely to be higher BOB ROBINSON

ASSOCIATE EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – A number of voters registering for the ﬁrst time were primarily due to the petitions being signed during the summer. Also, according to Jean Anderson, Darke County Board of Elections, the last two weeks before the deadline there were a number of new registrations. The total new registrations wasn’t available at the time. As of Oct. 20 three military overseas absentee ballots have been received, 298 ballots have been mailed out (with 90 returned so far) and 222 have voted absentee in person. Board of Elections Director Becky Martin said she had a feeling overall voter turnout will be higher this year than four years

ago. “I think it will be primarily due to the number of Issues on the ballot. We had two then, three this year.” Voter comments about the issues has been minimal; regardless Elections Board employees aren’t allowed to talk about them. “They might mention them,” said Sue Snipes, “but we can’t discuss them.” Martin said training for 200 poll workers with the new electronic poll book has been going well. “Your student, Haley Wampler (Edison Community College CCP student from Ansonia), is working the polls this year,” Martin added. “That’s good. At her age she’ll pick up on that fast.” In addition to the three state issues - Redistricting (1), Anti-Monopoly (2) and Recreational Marijuana Monopoly (3) - there are renewals for Greenville Li-

Darke County Board of Elections personnel have been kept busy preparing for the November election.

The victim was at a friend’s house when Michael Crawford came over and they got into an argument. He was going to leave; she opened the passenger door to get in and he allegedly punched her in the side of the face causing her minor swelling. She went to the driver’s side to confront him about hitting her and he threw her to the ground, causing her pain. Two friends witnessed her being thrown to the ground. The officer could see minor swelling on the victim’s face. Crawford, 1603 Martindale, said he’d gone to the residence to pick the victim up. He said the victim and a friend were intoxicated and the victim was yelling at him. He said the victim had his phone and wouldn’t give it back. He told police he tried to leave but the victim followed and opened the door, then grabbed his car keys. He said he grabbed her hand; when she jerked her hand back she hit herself. He denied hitting her face. He said they were yelling at each other when she smashed his cell phone on the ground. When he got on the ground to pick it up, he said the victim stomped on his back, adding when he got up the victim and her friend started hitting him in the head, causing a small scrape to his nose. He admitted to pushing the victim to get her off of him; he did have a small scrape on his nose. He told the officer she’s had him charged with assault before and the next day always drops the charges. Crawford was issued a citation for assault.

Darke County Center for the Arts will present ArtsPower National Touring Theatre’s production of Madeline and the Bad Hat.

DCCA brings classic Madeline book to life GREENVILLE – Darke County Center for the Arts will present ArtsPower National Touring Theatre’s production of Madeline and the Bad Hat at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville on Nov. 15, 2 p.m. According to DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins, the musical will appeal to boys as well as girls, many of whom are already fans of the Madeline books. “The bad hat of the title is Pepito, the mischievous son of the Spanish ambassador who moves in next door to Madeline,” Rawlins explained. “Pepito’s escapades lead him into danger, from which Madeline rescues him; the play entertainingly shows how challenges and conﬂicts can be resolved, an always relevant issue that is especially important to young children exploring the boundaries of their independence,” Rawlins stated. According to Rawlins, Madeline and the Bad Hat, one of the ﬁve Madeline books written by Ludwig Bemelmans, was deemed a classic almost immediately upon its publication in 1956. “Madeline and the other characters inhabit-

ing her world are timeless and universal, behaving exactly like real children whether they live in Paris, as Madeline does, or anywhere else in the world,” he said. ArtsPower productions have been seen by more than 13 million people across the U.S., and in some of the nation’s top cultural centers including The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. and Lincoln Center in New York City. DCCA’s Family Theatre Series was established to provide local families the opportunity to enjoy professional theatrical productions within their home community at an economical cost. Tickets are $5; these low ticket prices are made possible by the contributions provided by the following sponsors: Dayton Power & Light Company Foundation, Second National Bank, Greenville Federal, Greyson James Steyer Fund of the Darke County Foundation, Edison Community College, Gordon Orthodontics, Jordan Insurance Agency, The Andersons Inc., Wayne HealthCare, and Greenville Rotary Club.

ON YOUR MIND

READERS WRITE Inaccurate Claim

This letter was given to the Franklin Monroe Board of Education on behalf of the Franklin Monroe Middle/High School staffs. This letter is submitted as a response to Mr. Baker’s letter printed on Oct. 18th to show the inaccuracies of his claims. To: Franklin Monroe Board of Education On behalf of the Middle School and High School Staffs, I, Andy McKibben would like to present this letter to the Franklin Monroe Board of Education. Over the last few months, we have heard that certain members of the public have been misrepresenting us and talking on our behalf during Board of Education meetings. The intentions of this letter are simple. First, to make it very clear no member from the community has been given permission by our staff to speak on our behalf. Let it be understood that if we as an individual or a group have issues or concerns with the Administration, we will seek to resolve the situation with dialogue between us and the administration. If that does not resolve the issue we will come directly to you, the Board of Education. Secondly, let it be understood that we have all the faith in Mr. Patrick and Mr. Burgett as Administrators of the Franklin Monroe Staff. Simply put there is no mistrust, no reluctance to approach the two men, and no fear of speaking up because of a fear of losing our jobs. What has been said at Board of Education meetings on our behalf could not be further from the truth. To end, we are offended that the Board of Education would allow an individual from the community to speak on our behalf without our permission. We support Mr. Patrick and Mr. Burgett and would greatly appreciate if members from the community stop speaking on our behalf! This document was presented to the staff. A survey was put out by request of staff members to state whether they agree or disagree with the content of this letter. Out of 17 employees (not including the ones who are new this year and have no previous knowledge of the prior administration), 16 employees have agreed with the content of this letter. Meaning over 94% of the teachers fully support Mr. Patrick and Mr. Burgett. Thank you, Andy McKibben Pitsburg ---------------------------------------------------------------Kolb for Trustee

To the Residents of Greenville Township: Please join us in supporting Matt Kolb for Township Trustee. We have personally known Matt for several years. He is an honest and trustworthy person who will make sound decisions to the best beneﬁt of the township. Matt currently serves as a board member for the Darke County CIC and for Treaty Manor. He has a genuine interest in the growth of the community and wellbeing of its residents. Please vote for Matt Kolb on November 3. Tom & Cindy Scott, Greenville

GCS renewal levy; high school open house GREENVILLE – Greenville Schools has an operational renewal levy on the ballot for the Nov. 3 Election. I emphasize this is a renewal levy with NO NEW TAXES. This is a 5.50 mill general operations levy for the district. It will appear as issue 6 on the ballot. This levy has been in existence since 1996 and has been approved with each renewal ever since by our community. Please be sure to vote in the Nov. 3 Election. Remember Issue 6 is the renewal issue about Greenville City Schools.

Also, Greenville Schools will hold two open houses on our newly renovated High School that are open to the public. These will be held Oct. 31, 9-11 a.m. and Nov. 1, 2–4 p.m. The public is invited into the high school to see the renovations. Thank you to the entire community for your support of the high school renovation project. Any questions about the renewal levy or high school open house, feel free to contact Superintendent Doug Fries at Memorial Hall or by phone at 548-3185.

Edison DCC offers seminar for leaders GREENVILLE - Edison State Community College will be offering its ﬁrst of many Workforce Development seminars planned for the future. Entitled “Hands-On Communication in the Workplace,” this initial offering is scheduled for Nov. 10 and 17 from 2 to 5 p.m. “Communication skills in the workplace are critical to the success of a company,” said Edison DCC Dean Chad Beanblossom. “Hands-On Communication” will focus on personal interaction, group leadership, critical thinking and

problem solving to aid the supervisors of today – and tomorrow – in learning the skills necessary for successful leadership. Using both verbal and non-verbal techniques, the seminar is an action-oriented, interactive workshop providing a hands-on approach to learning successful communication skills. Cost of the “Hands-On Communication in the Workplace” seminar is $129 for registration by Nov. 3. To register contact Beanblossom at (937) 7787891 or email cbeanblossom@edisonohio.edu.

No on three. Yes on two. On Nov. 3 we will be asked to decide whether we want to join four other states, plus the District of Columbia, to make recreational marijuana legal in Ohio. It is a contentious issue. Those in favor insist we are spending millions of dollars every year trying to eradicate a substance that is similar in many respects to the legal use of alcohol. They often refer to Prohibition, asking “how well did that work?” They cite thousands of people sitting in our nation’s prisons who were convicted of nothing more than smoking pot. They tell us taxing legal marijuana sales will provide a financial windfall for Ohio while eliminating the drug dealers who often sell to our kids. It will also allow the state to set guidelines on use and distribution. Finally, they tell us legalized marijuana will be available for medicinal use. The vast majority of incarcerations in Ohio and elsewhere are not due to simply smoking pot; they are due to the crimes committed against property and persons to support drug use. In Ohio we are not waging a war against marijuana. Officers don’t waste time looking for people smoking pot. If it is discovered as part of another issue, it is cited as a misdemeanor and the defendant pays a fine. And finally, the active ingredient often connected with medicinal use, THC, is already legally available. Two THC products have been approved by the FDA for prescription by a qualified physician. Let’s look at Colorado where voters approved recreational use beginning in January 2014. Marijuana tax revenues in 2014 came to a little over $52 million, less than 1 percent of Colorado’s General Revenue Fund. Offsetting that, according to The Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area report, are multiple costs, both financial and hu-

man… Marijuana-related traffic deaths increased 41 percent in one year. Hospitals reported a 38 percent increase in marijuana-related hospitalizations. Denver police reported DUI’s involving marijuana doubled, from 33 to 66. Crime is up in the state. Oklahoma and Nebraska are suing Colorado because of the illegal influx of the state’s legally grown marijuana. Sheriffs in Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska are filing suit over a ‘crisis of conscience.’ Marijuana use is still illegal by the federal law they have sworn to uphold. This is just the tip of the iceberg. There’s the impact on our youth, for instance. We already have a substance abuse problem with many of our teens. Do we want to open the

$3 OFF

door of opportunity even more? Marijuana impacts the ability of individuals – young and old – to function, leads to loss of jobs and more. Ten multi-millionaires are asking you to approve Issue 3 so they can cash in on the monopoly they will have for growing commercial marijuana. This measure is opposed by nearly every major law enforcement, business, medical and public service organization in the state. It is opposed by Sheriff Toby Spencer, Greenville Police Chief Dennis Butts, Prosecutor R. Kelly Ormsby III and the Police Chiefs of Ansonia, Versailles, Arcanum, New Madison and Union City. They know the damage this would do to Ohio. However, there is one area that no one has addressed. At least not di-

rectly. The impact on family and society as a whole. Alcohol is a legal source of abuse and neglect in far too many home environments and crisis situations. The most vulnerable victims are the ones with the least amount of control over their circumstances… our children. Many child welfare and police investigations involve one or more parents with a drug or alcohol problem. We already have one personality-altering substance that can ruin careers, hurt innocent bystanders and destroy families. Why would we consider adding another one? It is beyond comprehension. The Early Bird/Bluebag Media is asking you to vote no on Issue 3. Vote yes on Issue 2, as it prohibits the monopoly Issue 3 wants to establish. LIKE US ON FACEBOOK

Green deVilles at Harvest Sounds

Sojourner Quartet

Quartet coming to Pitsburg COB PITSBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Pitsburg Church of the Brethren will host the Sojourner Quartet on Nov. 1, 6 p.m. Sojourner Quartet is a Christian music ministry based in Findlay. Sojourner began in 1991 as a contemporary Christian group playing their own instruments and writing many of the songs they performed. As their popularity spread, they began to play throughout the country. In 1998, the group went solely southern gospel. As their ministry grew, they shared the platform with many of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top southern gospel groups including The Booth Brothers, The Hoppers, The Isaacs, Ivan Parker, The Crabb Family, The Tally Trio, Triumphant Quartet

and many more. Over the years, several songs released to southern gospel radio made the charts in the USA and in Europe. These four men are completely devoted to Jesus Christ not only through their music ministry, but through their personal lives. Their mission is to glorify God, the Father, by witnessing the gospel of His Son, Jesus Christ to as many people as possible, regardless of their denomination, through their music and personal testimony. The church is located at the west edge of Pitsburg, Ohio at 8376 PitsburgLaura Road. A love offering will be accepted and refreshments will be served following the concert.

OBITUARIES

Cast for annual Ghost Walk announced GREENVILLE – Darke County Center for the Arts’ 12th annual Ghost Walk on Oct. 30, 31 and Nov. 1 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. Aaron Buchy, Samantha Buchy, Sarah Buchy, John Burkett, Karen Burkett, Larry Delk, Maxwell Jordan, Katheleen Nealeigh, and Selene Weaver will share spooky stories at some of the spots visited on the tour. The Ghost Walk will leave from Henry 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. “I can’t think of a better way to celebrate Halloween weekend than by taking a fun, spooky, and informative walk in downtown Greenville,” said DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan. “The stories can give you chills,

but are still not too scary for children old enough to enjoy a long walk in the dark,” Ms. Jordan continued. 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. Ms. Jordan also reminds potential Ghost Walk participants that some tour sites include uneven terrain and may be located in dimly lighted areas. As in years past, Ghost Walk will be held regardless of weather conditions; if seriously inclement weather occurs, the stories will be told indoors. Tickets for the Ghost Walk cost $10, and are available at Greenville Public Library, as well as at 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 547-0908 or dcca@centerforarts.com, or purchased online at www.centerforarts.net.

performing are: Soul Purpose, based out of Grove City, offers a “one-of-akind” traditional southern gospel sound that awakens the spirit and excites the soul. Although their ministry began in 1972 as The Sounds of Joy, in 1995 they began a fresh start with the new name Soul Purpose. The name just seemed to be the perfect ﬁt as they proclaim “Your Soul is our Purpose!” It doesn’t take long to realize this group loves the Lord. Soul Purpose has carried the Gospel to numerous churches, fairs, conventions and arts festivals in Ohio and surrounding states including the National Quartet Convention, Ohio State Convention of Baptists, and Northern Gospel Singing Convention. Also singing that afternoon will be Brenda Wise. Brenda lives in West Alexandria. Music has been an important part of her life for as long as she can remember. She has a beautiful voice and enjoys sharing that gift with others. She is part of the Praise and Worship Team and member of Triumphant Christian Center in Greenville and has shared her talent in many churches and events throughout the surrounding in area. She describes herself as a mother, grandmother, animal lover and most importantly a Christian. The public is invited.

The Blackhawks struck first with an opening drive touchdown, but that was the only time the Trojan defense allowed the ball anywhere near the endzone. The Trojan ‘D’ not only limited the MV run, but also disrupted their chance for an aerial assault with two interceptions on the day. “We tried to hang on to the ball as long as possible,” stated Arcanum Jr. High Head Coach Jason Stephan. “Mississinawa Valley has some real talented kids and a great passing game, so we want-

ed to make sure and not give them many chances to score on us.” The Arcanum offense moved the ball well on the ground, putting 22 points on the scoreboard for a 22-6 victory. The boys celebrated with dumping some ice cold water on Coach Stephan at the end of the game. “I couldn’t be happier with the team today… the guys took all the things we been talking about all year and made it happen… like working hard, playing through adversity, keeping your head, don’t turn the ball over and no dumb penalties,” Coach Stephan added. “We played hard whistle to whistle and made plays.” “Both of these teams today have a lot of talented kids that will be at the high school level next year… and I am excited to see how they will do the next four years,” Stephan concluded.

BROOKVILLE – The Versailles Lady Tigers volleyball team used a 3-0 win over the Northwestern Warriors from Springﬁeld to advance in OHSAA Division III Sectional tournament play by scores of 2517, 25-16 and 25-16 Monday night. “Pretty happy,” said Versailles Coach Karla Frilling. “Overall pretty strong performance… a team effort” Game No. 1 had the makings of a tight ﬁrst set as the Lady Tigers took a 1-0 lead with Northwestern getting even at 1-1 and 3-3. Holding a slim 6-5 advantage, Versailles would score four unanswered points to double the score at 10-5 with the Warriors keeping it close at 19-15. The Lady Tigers would put six-points on the board while holding the Warriors to two-points to take a 2517 game one win. “Our outside got more swings probably tonight than they have in a while,” said Frilling. “I was pleased with how they followed

through.” Northwestern took its first lead of the night opening game two with leads at 1-0 and 2-1 before the Lady Tigers would run off a string of eight consecutive points to lead 9-2. Northwestern would get back in the game closing to 9-7 before Versailles would move out to a 16-10 advantage bringing a timeout from the Warriors bench. The Darke County girls would extend the six-point lead to nine and win game two by a 25-16 score. Versailles opened game three with a 3-0 lead only to have the Lady Warriors tie the set at 4-4, 5-5 and claim their last lead of the night 6-5. A 5-0 Lady Tigers run had Versailles taking a 10-6 lead and doubled the score at 18-9 before taking game three by a final 25-16 score. “They were a good team,” Frilling stated. “They definitely challenged us at the net. They tested our blocking and we just kept fighting and stayed aggressive. That was what our game plan was.” “I’m ok with that,” said Frilling of her 2015 team’s

Marcus Wood dives for touchdown in week 8 win over Sidney. (Clinton Randall photo)

8th grade Wave ﬁnish season at 5-3 BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – “I’m so proud of each one of these guys and I will definitely miss being their coach,” an emotional Greenville 8th grade football Head Coach Josh Gilmore said following Wednesday’s 42-30 win over visiting Sidney. After starting off the season winning four or their first five games, the Wave dropped two GWOC North games in week six and seven, to first place Troy and second place Trotwood. The 4-3 Greenville 8th football team went into the game needing the win over the 5-2 Yellowjackets to take third place in the GWOC North… and that’s exactly what they did. The Wave’s go-to star running back Marcus Wood, did what he does best…. break tackles and score touchdowns. Accompanied with the ‘big leg’ of PAT and field goal kicker Ethan Flanery, the Green-

ville offense kept a big lead throughout most of the game. The Wave defense held the jackets to little offensive gain for the ﬁrst three quarters of play. The boys were able to capitalize on fumble recoveries and though Sidney made an attempt at a comeback in the fourth quarter, it simply wasn’t enough. “I love these guys! I have coached this team the last two years and know how much heart and dedication each of them have,” Coach Gilmore added. “Now I get to pass them off to one of the best coaches in the area… Coach Shaffer (Greenville varsity coach). The future looks really bright for Greenville football!” Greenville ended the season with a very respectable 5-3 record overall and 3-2 in the conference. The 7th grade team continued to struggle with their seventh straight loss of the season at Sidney, ﬁnishing with a record of 1-7.

BROOKVILLE – The No. 5 seed Arcanum Lady Trojans faced the No. 3 seed West Liberty-Salem Lady Tigers in OHSAA Division III sectional tournament play taking the Lady Tigers to the wire in a three-games-totwo heartbreaking loss. “If you’re going to go out… that’s the way to go out,” said Arcanum Coach Terri Day of her five seniors. “Effort is the only thing you can control. They gave all their effort tonight… without a doubt.” “Arcanum played really well,” said West Liberty-Salem Coach Rebecca Macy. The Lady Tigers bolted out to a 7-1 first game lead and never looked back taking game one with a comfortable 25-11 score with 6’4” University of Dayton recruit Jamie Peterson proving worthy of her Division I college signing. Arcanum would rebound to tie the match at 1-1 with a 25-20 game two win over the Lady Tigers. “It just took that first game for them to believe,” said Day. “They turned around the second game and knew they could do it. West libertySalem gives you a fight. You’re not going to just knock them off without

working it.” Game No. 3 had the teams even at 7-7 before the Trojans Ellie Siculan would step to the serving line with the Arcanum girls reeling off 16-unanswered points to take a 23-7 lead and win game two by a 25-10 score and hold a two games to one advantage. WL-S took an early 9-4 lead in game four and double the score on the Lady Trojans at 12-6 before the Arcanum girls rebounded to tie the score at 14-14, 15-15, 16-16 and 19-19. West Liberty-Salem would put six-unanswered points on the board to win game four 25-19 sending the sectional tournament match to a ﬁfth and deciding game. “They dug deep,” said Macy. “I covered with them (during a WL-S timeout) different things to look for ahead of time. We went over things that they know to do… and that wasn’t working. I tried yelling a little and I’m not much of a yeller. They really just dug deep themselves. We have six seniors out of 12 and they weren’t really ready for

it to end quite like that. They weren’t playing their best game.” Arcanum would take an early 1-0 ﬁfth-game lead only to have the Lady Tigers move out to an 11-4 advantage. “The middle of that last game was the game we wanted… not those ﬁrst four points,” said Day. “If we could get those back… but you can’t. It’s a game of momentum.” The Trojans would close the scoring gap to 13-8 but quickly got within one point of elimination trailing 14-8 before making a 4-0 run to trail 14-12. WL-S would

put the ﬁnal point on the board to win the game 1512 and the match by a 3-2 count. “We got to a point, made a couple mistakes and they let that effect another point,” Day stated. “Against a team like that you got to get over that mistake especially in that 15-point game. It just goes way too fast. You got to recover fast.” “It was a great season,” Coach Day said. West Liberty-Salem advances in sectional play in a 4:30 p.m. start time at Brookville High School taking on Darke County’s Versailles Lady Tigers.

Ladies Shopping Day

”MasquerAID” was the theme for Brethren Retirement Community at their 9th Annual Charity Auction & Dinner held on September 11, 2015 at Romer’s in Greenville. Over 300 people enjoyed the event and there were nearly 250 auction items available. Thanks to the support of those in attendance and our many sponsors and donors, we were able to raise over $49,000 for the Resident Aid Fund. The Resident Aid Fund is a vital part of our ministry. It was established to fulﬁll our mission of caring for older adults. Brethren Retirement Community expresses their heartfelt

thanks to all our sponsors and the many additional business and individuals who donated items for the auction. In addition, because of the generosity of our donors, $24,470 was also raised that evening to help fund a 15 passenger bus. Each year the one bus we have is used for many things. Weekly shopping trips in Greenville and in outlying areas, monthly luncheons in surrounding communities (Winchester,

Richmond, Piqua, Troy, and Celina), sight seeing and educational tours, museum visits, Dragon games, Cincinnati shopping etc. There are trips scheduled an average of 2 times a week and many weeks more than that. This does not include the number of times the bus is used for transportation to doctor appointments in Richmond, Greenville, Dayton, Troy and Cincinnati. In addition to the money raised the eve of

Open Burning Advisory given DARKE COUNTY – The Darke County Association of Fire Chief’s, its member departments with the support of the Darke County Sheriff’s Office and The Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, is issuing an “Open Burning Advisory” for all of Darke County until further notice. The unusually dry conditions warrant such an advisory with respect to all types of outdoor open burning and fires. Per ODNR regulations, with limited exceptions, open burning is not allowed during 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the following months, March, April, May, October and November. This includes

burning yard waste, wood, brush, weeds, grass and other residential/agricultural debris. They are asking homeowners, farmers and the public to be extremely cautious during this dry period. Residents are urged to take extra precautions to prevent accidental fires to include: 1. Avoid burning of trash and debris 2. Do not discard cigarettes or other smoking materials outdoors 3. Do not have open cooking, campfires or recreational fires. 4. Charcoal from grills should not be removed until the charcoal has been thoroughly extinguished.

Ashlee uses music therapeutically for non-musical goals, such as pain management, connection, sensory stimulation, relaxation, spiritual and emotional support. Each session may look different, using music to best ﬁt the needs of patients and families at that time. The BPW club will also have available for sale ‘super rafﬂe’ tickets. Winners will be drawn at the Dec. 10 meeting. You can win one of four prizes: 11 quart Kitchen Aid Food Processor, a Diamond “Shimmer” Necklace from Wieland’s Jewelers, A Spa Mani, Pedi and Facial from Mae’s Beauty Salon & Spa, or reservations for two at a 2016 “Thrill of the Grill” Event at the Winery at Versailles.

Old Arcana launches Thanks for Giving ARCANUM – At the end of October, The Old Arcana restaurant in Arcanum will be launching its inaugural Thanks for Giving Campaign: A very special charitable effort created to serve those in our community who are in need of the most basic necessities in life: food and shelter. The Old Arcana has connected with the Darke County Community Action Partnership (CAP) as the recipient of their campaign donations for the season. Darke County Community Action Partnership, (a United Way Partner Agency), serves those in need in Darke County through multiple programs, with the ultimate mission of “working in partnership with local communities to eliminate the causes and conditions of poverty and to promote individual independence and self-sufﬁciency.” One CAP’s key programs include the Darke County Emergency Homeless Shelter, which provides emergency food and temporary housing for those who have become displaced or cannot afford food. The shelter is funded by the Homeless Crisis Response Program (HCRP) Grant from the state, the Darke County United Way and local donations. Due to aging and normal wear and tear, the shelter is in need of additional assistance. Currently, the shelter is in need of numerous items to effectively help those in need. * Non-perishable food items for the Community Food Bank * Volunteers for structural and maintenance assistance to the shelter building * Paint, ﬂooring replacement, appliances and / or

appliance repair * Beds, dressers and a baby crib * Twin and full zippered plastic mattress covers * Twin and full sized sheets * Bath towels and wash cloths * Kitchen towels and wash cloths * Laundry soap, personal hygiene & toiletry items *Diapers in multiple sizes Through the “Thanks for Giving Campaign,” The Old Arcana is asking the local community to join them in supporting the Shelter throughout the Holiday Season in 3 ways: * Donation of needed items. Those interested in donating non-perishable food items or any of the daily living items listed above may drop items off at The Old Arcana, 109 W.

Lions help family after brain surgery CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

ARCANUM – The Arcanum Lions Club donated $1,677 Oct. 16 to Street Department Superintendent Jason Daugherty and his wife Christine to help the couple make at least two payments on their newly purchased home. In August, Daugherty was diagnosed with having Brain Arteriovenous Malformations (AVM) – which caused three brain aneurysms. He underwent a neurological surgery at Miami Valley Hospital to save his life. Since then, Daugherty suffers from visual issues that make it impossible to get back to work. How much he will recover is not quite clear as of yet, but he continues after care and physical therapy to get back as much as possible. Family, friends and healthcare providers all agree it is a miracle he

is still alive. The Lions Club members held an auction at their bi-monthly meeting Oct. 15. Baked goods were donated from Brumbaugh Fruit Farm that club members bid on to help raise money for the Daugherty family. Club members met with Jason and Christine at Miller’s Tavern in Arcanum to present the check. According to Past President Dick Mathias, the club holds an auction like this each year. “He is the type of person that would do anything to help and go out of his way to make sure it got done,” said Mathias. Daugherty has been a member of the Village Street Department for three years. He is 34years-old and he and his wife have three children. If you would like to make a donation or want know more about how you can help – contact Tina at Miller’s Tavern in Arcanum at 692-5359.

Warm Winter Wear collection begins GREENVILLE – The employees of the Darke County Sheriff’s Office, through the support of Sheriff Toby L. Spencer, and in conjunction with local law enforcement, Crime Stoppers, and fire and emergency medical professionals have announced plans to host the 15th annual “Warm Winter Wear for Darke County Children” program. Thanks to generous donations from caring individuals and businesses within our community, “Warm Winter Wear” is able to provide all Darke County Schools with items they request for their students. New hats, gloves and coats are collected in the dispatch center at the Darke County Sheriff’s Office from Oct. 1 through the middle of November and items are distributed to the schools and local families as orders are filled. With the support and participation of the local K-Mart from 2000 - 2013, “Warm Winter Wear” was

able to provide over 3,000 coats to children in Darke County. The Darke County Sheriff’s Office now welcomes Wal-Mart as a partner in providing new coats, hats and gloves to children, ages 0-13, who are in need. With their support and participation last year, the Darke County Sheriff’s Office was able to provide over 300 coats to children in Darke County. The Darke County Sheriff’s Office wishes to thank the numerous individuals and businesses throughout the County who have made donations in previous years. Some of the donations we have received include new coats, as well as hand-made hats, scarves and gloves. We greatly appreciate the generosity of our citizens; our program could not continue without your help. Anyone with questions about this project may contact the Darke County Sheriff’s Office at 548-3399, and direct your call to Dispatch.

LUNCH SERVED EVERY THURSDAY

GREENVILLE – Twenty-two veterans followed Greenville High School’s NJROTC Honor Guard to the front of the Youth Building Oct. 18 to kick off the annual Darke County Republican Pig Roast. Two special announcements were part of the program… Darryl Mehaffie was named the Darke County Republican of the Year for 2015. Ohio Senate President Keith Faber, in making the announcement, noted Mehaffie had served Republicans (and the community) at local, state and national levels, adding he was “a proud Darke Countian.” Mehaffie received commendations from the Ohio Senate (Faber and State Senator Bill Beagle), the House (State Representatives Jim Buchy and Steve Huffman), Greenville Mayor Mike Bowers, Representatives from U.S. Representative John Boehner and U.S. Senator Rob Portman and the Darke County Commissioners. Commissioner Diane Delaplane referred to Mehaffie as “a gentleman and a true Republican.” Just a week earlier, Mehaffie received the William L. Combs Patron of the Arts award, presented by Keith Rawlins, Artistic Director, and Andrea Jordan, Executive Director, on behalf of the Darke County Center for the Arts. “What a week! Wow!!” said Mehaffie following the announcement. “Patron of the Arts… and now this? Leaves me speechless.” He added he was a lucky man, able to do the things he loves… to give to his community and his state. “I’m very humbled,” he said. Huffman and Faber later called on Buchy to come

to the front. He did so to a standing ovation from those in attendance. Buchy reafﬁrmed his announced intention to retire when his term was up, then announced Faber is running for his seat. “We need to get him back in the house to help keep us moving forward,” Buchy said. Regarding the much discussed Ohio Issue 3 on the ballot in November, he added “As long as we keep our faith and values, we will – hopefully – get the rest of the world to come back to us.” Faber has been in the Ohio Statehouse for 15 years. He is currently serving his second term as State Senator. Prior to that he served three terms in the Ohio House of Representatives. Faber noted Ohio went from losing 100,000 jobs a year to creating well over 300,000 jobs; Ohio went from balancing a budget on one-time funds with no money set aside, to having well over $2 billion in its Rainy Day Fund. He talked about helping his son with his government assignment… “I guess I know a little

about our government,” Faber said. He described the assignment, telling the Republicans and guests in attendance the textbook actually taught about the three branches of government as delineated in the U.S. Constitution. Then he noted ten millionaires were trying to change that by establishing themselves as the overseers of a monopoly in marijuana production and distribution in Ohio. “Vote no on Issue 3 so we don’t have to rewrite all the ﬁfth grade history books,” he said.

Deputy Sheriff Mark Whittaker also expressed his opposition to Issue 3, saying passage of the issue would tell “our youth it’s okay to go ahead and light up… it is not okay.” State Senator Bill Beagle announced to the attendees he was running for U.S. Rep. John Boehner’s seat in the House of Representatives. Boehner announced recently he would be retiring at the end of the month. Other candidates have also expressed an interest in the seat although no ofﬁcial announcements have been made.

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Darke County Solid Waste Management District and Rumpke Waste & Recycling collected nearly 274 thousand pounds of tires, the second-highest amount in event history, during the annual tire collection day, Sept. 23 at Rumpkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Greenville location. This is the ninth year for this event. Rumpke provides the drop off area and donates containers and semi â&#x20AC;&#x201C;trailers. Since inception, this program has collected more than two million pounds of tires. The highest amount ever collected was 368 thousand pounds in 2008. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whole tires cannot be placed in modern sanitary landďŹ lls and tire piles can present many hazards,â&#x20AC;? said Noel Moomey, district

manager at Rumpke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crucial to provide options to clean up, collect and identify beneďŹ cial reuses for these items. Rumpke is proud to partner with the solid waste district to keep the county clean and assist with a solution for this

waste.â&#x20AC;? Rumpke & Waste Recycling has been committed to keeping neighborhoods and businesses clean and green since 1932 by providing environmentally friendly waste disposal solutions.

How to handle car trouble while driving

Sudden car trouble is something no driver wants to experience, but many a driver has been driving down the highway only to

feel his or her vehicle start to sputter. Such sputtering might indicate a car is running low on fuel, or it could be a sign of something more

serious that requires motorists to think as quickly and safely as possible. When car trouble strikes while a vehicle is on the road, the first thing many drivers do is check their fuel gauges. A car that runs out of gas is certainly inconvenient, but if you can pull over to the shoulder or make it to the nearest filling station, then this unfortunate situation can be remedied rather easily. But when a car’s tank is full and it is still showing signs of trouble, drivers must take steps to protect themselves, their passengers and their vehicles. The following are a few simple tips motorists should keep in mind so they can safely handle any car trouble that may arise while they are out on the road. Keep a first-aid kit, spare tire and tire jack in the car at all times. Flat tires are no fun, but they are even more of a nuisance when drivers are not prepared to address them. Always keep a jack and spare tire in your car, even if the spare is a donut you can temporarily use to replace a flat tire until you make it to a filling station or automotive supply store. As an added safety measure, keep a fully stocked first aid kit in your vehicle in case you cut yourself while changing the tire or need to address another

medical situation. Visit www.redcross.org for a list of items to include in your automotive emergency kit. Keep a blanket in the trunk as well so your passengers can stay warm should you experience car trouble on a cold day or night. Make note of your surroundings. Some car troubles can only be ﬁxed by the professionals, so pay careful attention to your surroundings in case an issue arises and forces you to pull over and call for help. Always pay attention to mile markers and any landmarks that might help you describe where you are. Car troubles can strike at anytime and anywhere, so be sure to pay special attention to your surroundings when driving in unfamiliar areas. Pull over. Don’t panic if an issue arises suddenly. Remain calm and pull over onto the shoulder. The right shoulder is the area for pulling over on most roads, but you may also use the left shoulder on multilane highways with medians. Try to

CAR CARE

Protect your vehicle from the cold Winter can be an unforgiving season. Freezing temperatures coupled with snow and ice can take its toll on people who live in climates where cold weather is a fact of winter life. While winter can test people’s patience, it also can be harsh on cars and trucks. Understanding what components of a vehicle can be compromised by dropping temperatures and snowy roads can help drivers take action to safeguard their automotive investments. While the Canadian Automobile Association notes that winter can wreak havoc on just about every part of a vehicle, there are some parts that seem to bear the brunt of Old Man Winter’s abuse. Properly servicing and caring for a car or truck can help. Drivers should take their vehicles for a tuneup and inspection before wintry weather arrives. A mechanic will examine the car battery and check antifreeze levels and make

Scrapers should only be used on windows and not on the body of the car. sure that the thermostat, defroster, brakes, and even wiper blades are working effectively. Have the tires inspected for adequate tread, which can make navigating roads safer. If the treads are worn, replace the tires. In addition to visiting their mechanics, drivers can perform some inspections and ﬁxes themselves.

Boosters fundraiser supports choirs GREENVILLE - The Greenville High School Vocal Music Boosters will host a Romer’s BBQ Chicken and Pork Chop Dinner on Nov. 20, at EUM Church, 111 Devor St., Greenville, prior to Night Out With The Wavaires. The money raised from this event will be used by the booster organization to support the entire vocal music program at Greenville High School. The dinner is dine-in, carry-out or drive-thru at EUM Church, located be-

hind the St. Clair Memorial Hall. Serving time is from 4:30-6:30 p.m. The menu is: Choice of Meat (1/2 BBQ chicken or 2-6 oz. pork chops), cupped applesauce, bag of chips and roll. The ticket cost per dinner is $8. All tickets are pre-order, pre-pay. All orders are due by Nov. 11. Tickets may be purchased from any choir student or by calling Deanna York, GHSVMB ofﬁcer at 4676883, or emailing deannayork@gmail.com.

Check that all of the vehicle’s lights are operational so your car can be easily seen during inclement weather. Exchange your existing windshield washer ﬂuid with one that will not freeze in cold conditions. Check the nozzles on the windshield-washer system routinely and clear out any blockages of ice or debris. While addressing windshield washer ﬂuid, also replace worn out windshield wiper blades with ones that can withstand snow and icy weather. A new coating of wax can serve as a shield against road salt, snow, sleet, and rain. Try a polymer wax to protect the paint. Whenever possible, rinse off salt and grime so it does not dry on the car and gradually wear away at the paint. Some drivers mistakenly believe that salt stops being a problem once it dries simply because moisture is the active ingredient for a corrosive reaction. But humidity in the air is enough to keep the salt eating away at the car’s paint, and that

can contribute to rust. Be sure to rinse off the undercarriage of the vehicle as well. Have your tires’ alignment checked toward the end of winter or early spring. A season of traveling over pothole-ridden roads or hitting curbs buried under snow drifts can affect the alignment. Get everything back on track. Similarly, inspect tires routinely, as weather changes can affect tire pressure and strength. Use a soft snow brush or a foam brush to clear snow off of the car. Avoid hard plastic scrapers you might use on your windshield, as they can scratch painted surfaces. Try to park the vehicle in a garage or under a car port, each of which can protect cars and trucks from the often harsh elements of winter. Vehicles can be affected by the cold weather. Keep them running efﬁciently to prevent damage this winter.

with his wife Alice. Tom is employed at Taco Bell in Greenville. Although he can do most jobs in the restaurant, Tom’s primary position is “back up” where he keeps food ready for other crew members who are ﬁlling orders. The fast paced environment is a great ﬁt for Tom’s skills. “Tom can run circles around everyone“, said Bev Norton, General Manager. “When Tom is off and someone else is working in his position they cannot keep up like Tom can.” Tom is also effective at multi-tasking. From preparing food in the deep fryer to cleaning up the food prep area, Tom knows what to do and gets it done correctly. Bev shares that Tom is appreciated by every member of the Taco Bell team. “I would never want to lose him as a worker,” Bev said. Tom started working as a 12 year old on his family’s farm, feeding and caring for farm animals. Tom believes these early experiences helped prepare him for employment. Over the years, Tom has driven to restaurants in Troy and Englewood and to a local poultry producer to work. Tom came back to the Greenville Taco Bell just before the current manager Bev

Norton joined the store. “Tom’s job was more limited when I came,” shared Bev. “I asked the staff if Tom had ever been trained for other job tasks and learned that he hadn’t, so I started showing him other jobs and gave him an opportunity. Tom learned very quickly.” Earlier this year, Tom celebrated his 5 year anniversary with Taco Bell in Greenville. When asked what he likes about his job, Tom answered, “Everything! I like going to work better than staying at home.” His advice for young people thinking about working in the community is to stay with a job when you get one, have good attendance and show up on time when you are scheduled. Tom and his wife Alice have been married for 18 years and live independently in a home they rent in Greenville. When Tom is not working, he and Alice enjoy visiting neighbors, going to the YMCA, going out to eat, and visiting with family. “Once in a while we go to the Piqua movie,” Tom shared.

Extension says dry weather puts farmers at risk for ﬁre

DARKE COUNTY – This season, farmers are at a high risk of having a field fire. In less than a week we have had at least two field fires in the county and a few in our neighboring counties. What is fueling these fires you may ask? We had a tremendous amount of rain this past growing season which in turn produced a corn crop with a lot of fodder. We also have had less than a half inch of rain for most of the county since corn harvest began. Add in high winds, a discarded cigarette or a blowing ember from a trash fire and you have the opportunity for a major field fire. These field fires can grow out of con-

trol in a matter of minutes. Adjacent homes, buildings and standing crops all are at risk Additionally the conditions present during harvest season include dry plant material and grain dust that are highly combustible. Hot equipment or engine sparks are great ignition sources. It is not uncommon for exhaust pipes or catalytic converters to exceed 1,000°F. Add a little wind and there is a perfect opportunity for a field fire. Fighting a field fire can be quite the challenge and should be directed by the fire department in charge. You may be of assistance if you have a tillage tool ready to go to “plow” a bar-

rier. When plowing the barrier you do not want to attempt to till the ground at the fire. You would want to keep a safe distance between the fire and your tractor. Directly tilling the ground at the fire may result in severe damage to the tractor and a risk to the operator. Being prepared to handle field fires is important for all workers and transport drivers. Combines, tractors, grain trucks, and pick-ups should all be equipped with a trustworthy fire extinguisher as the first lines of defense. Combines should carry an ABC 10-pound fire extinguisher in the cab and a larger 20-pound unit at the ground level. Tractors and

trucks are recommended to have a 5-pound minimum extinguisher available. These extinguishers should be in EACH vehicle in the field. Nothing is worse than watching the combine go up in flames while you’re running to the end of the field to retrieve the fire extinguisher on the grain cart. Having an extinguisher on each piece of equipment ensures you will be ready to react on the first signs of smoke. Don’t get caught with a false sense of security. If you follow the recommendations and own enough fire extinguishers, then you must also follow the maintenance recommendations. Check the pressure gages periodically, making sure the needle remains in the “charged” zone. If a unit has been partially discharged, it must be fully recharged before using it again. Even a slight discharge can create a gap in the internal seal of the extinguisher valve, causing the pressure to leak out. The pressure needle may linger in the charged zone; however there may not be adequate pressure to expel the contents. Extinguishers could use a little shake a few times a year. By inverting the extinguisher and shaking it several times each season makes sure the powder doesn’t get lodged at the bottom of the unit. Equipment vibrations are notorious for compacting the reactive ingredients of fire extinguishers; making them worthless when they are needed. Extinguishers should also be inspected periodically by a fire professional. Fire service companies can be found in community directories. Your local fire department or insurance company can also point you in the right direction for

service companies. Some extinguishers are not designed to be refilled, or are too old to be refilled. These units should be replaced when they expire. Having these old extinguishers around does no good when the time comes to pull the pin. Follow other fire prevention practices. It is also important to keep machinery in good repair. Apply grease to bearings and oil chains regularly to reduce friction. It is recommended to perform maintenance checks at the end of the day, rather than at the beginning, to detect any hot smoldering areas that may break out into flames overnight. Keep machinery clean and free from plant materials, especially around the wrap points. Wipe up any fuel or oil leaks to eliminate additional fuel sources; and do not leave oily rags on equipment or in the cab. Use an air compressor or leaf blower to remove crop residue, and a pressure washer to remove built up oil or caked-on grease. Take time to cool down the equipment each night, and check for any hot spots. These steps can make a difference to save equipment, facilities, commodities, and lives. Being prepared to handle field fires is important for all workers. Having machinery equipped with a trustworthy fire extinguisher is one of the first lines of defense. Be fire smart, and safe harvesting.

Bigs and Littles learning about the Red Cross Pillow Case project.

BBBS hosts agency picnic at Earl’s Island FT. LORAMIE – Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County sponsored an agency picnic at Earl’s Island, Lake Loramie State Park on Aug. 13, to provide an evening of fun and food for the volunteers and the children in the program. Over 40 individuals from Shelby and Darke Counties attended the picnic under clear skies and mild temperature. Everyone had a wonderful time, with the children enjoying the inflatable bounce house before and after the activities. Tied in with the evening activities was a pillow case project presented by the Red Cross. The pillow case project is a way to talk to the children about how to handle a disaster such as fire, flooding, etc. and what skills and items would be necessary to have with you if something of this nature were to happen. In addition to this, Bigs and Littles went on a scavenger hunt and enjoyed a picnic style lunch and socializing. Group activities are an integral part of the mentoring program for children from “at risk” homes. “Outings

such as these help to build team working skills, enhance social skills, and boost a child’s self esteem,” according to executive director, Jennifer Bruns. The Shelby & Darke County agency has 107 community based matches with a list of over 15 children in need of an adult volunteer. Volunteers are required to see the children two times per month offering support and fun, educational activities. It should be noted that match activities can be scheduled around a volunteers own calendar. Volunteers do not need to make a huge commitment of time, just have a “Big” heart and a willingness to have a positive impact on a youth in our own community. With this in

mind, the agency is always looking for new volunteers to become matched with a child and become a mentor. Every match is assigned a professional staff member to ensure that all parties are satisfied with the match and that the child is benefiting from the service. If you would like more information on entering your child in the program or on becoming an active volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters, call 547-9622 or 492-7611 or visit www.bigbrobigsisshelbydarke.org. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County is a non-profit United Way member agency and an affiliate of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.
