Strike possible if WPNA and hospital can’t agree GREENVILLE – The Wayne Professional Nurses Association RYAN BERRY (WPNA) Managing Editor and Wayne bluebagmedia.com HealthCare (WH’s) are at odds and a strike may be on the horizon if the two sides can’t come to an agreement soon. The contract between approximately 110 members of the WPNA and the hospital expired on Aug. 18 and the last of the two extension agreements ended on Sept. 30. The nurses have been working without a contract since. The WPNA has rejected two offers thus far and have voted to authorize a strike. To try and avoid a strike, the WPNA has asked the hospital to return to the bargaining table. The WPNA is required to ﬁle a 10-day notice of their intent to strike to the federal government and the hospital before they can walk off the job. That notice has not yet been ﬁled. The issues both sides are having a hard time agreeing on include

wages, health insurance costs and overtime. “The nurses really tried to compromise and to meet the hospital halfway, and we are very disappointed in this offer,” said WPNA President Debbie Osborne. “We are not asking for much, but the wage increases are lower than we have ever had and many of the nurses will see smaller paychecks in January when the health insurance premiums go up.” The nurses are also disappointed this year’s increase is not retroactive to Aug. 18. “We’re frustrated with the hospital’s continued lack of respect and devaluing of the nurses,” said Rose Hall, union bargaining committee member. “The nurses spoke clearly in the ratiﬁcation vote and told us their most important concerns. We shared those with the hospital, which doesn’t seem to care about the morale of the people who provide patient care at Wayne Hospital.” WH’s administration and board of trustees responded to the WPNA’s

criticism by stating, “We do respect our staff for good reasons. First, and most importantly, respecting and valuing your employees simply makes good business sense.” WH believes its offer is fair. In its statement, the hospital administration said “When comparing our current pay and hourly rates with similar sized hospitals in the region, we are at the very top of the list. Organizations employing nurses in Darke County do not try to hire our nurses because they cannot afford to compete with our wage package.” The nurses also argued the cost for health insurance will begin rising in January and nearly triple by the end of the three-year contract period. They believe the small increase in wages won’t keep up with the rising cost of health care. The hospital countered by noting, “We chose as a company to not pass all of our rate increase onto our employees. We chose as a company to redesign our plan to provide nice discounts to our employees for using our services

at our hospital. While we cannot keep our plan as it currently is, we did all we could to limit the increase.” The hospital has gone three consecutive years without a health care premium increase. The hospital administration also released its terms of the most recent contract offer: * Pay increases for each year of the contract. The hospital believes this will keep WPNA members as the highest paid in the area, * Approximately 50 percent of the nurses will receive step increases in addition to the annual increase. * Offered an increase

in tuition reimbursement money. * Agreed to include Paid Time Off (PTO) to be used in as little as one-quarter hour increments. * Agreed to enhanced job postings that provides added description of the open position. * Agreed to expanded funeral leave to include more relatives. * Agreed to an increase in Charge Nurse pay of 33 percent. * Agreed to an increase in Mentoring pay of 25 percent. * Agreed to an increase in Mandation pay of 14 percent. * Offered a premium

of 50 cents per hour for holding a BSN degree. * Offered a premium of 30 cents per hour for those holding a specialty certiﬁcation. Hall responded, “The hospital makes it sound like the nurses are greedy. That’s not true at all. We love caring for patients, but it can be a stressful job and nurses have to work nights, weekends and holidays. We only want reasonable pay and beneﬁts – not to go backwards and not to have contract rights we’ve won over the years taken away.” The WPNA and WH are expected to resume talks this week.

Success of P4P is good for Darke Co.

Good Samaritan coming to Greenville GREENVILLE – A groundbreaking ceremony was held Oct. 23 RYAN BERRY for the Good Managing Editor Samaritan bluebagmedia.com Health Center – Greenville. The new facility is located across from Wayne HealthCare on Sweitzer Street and will house the cardiology practice of the Dayton Heart Center Greenville and other medical specialties. Jim Pancoast, president and CEO of Premier Health, said, “We are excited to move forward with this new building, which will provide expanded medical services in Darke County.” This is not the ﬁrst time Premier

Health has collaborated with Wayne HealthCare to bring services close to home. Darke County residents have beneﬁted from this partnership at the cancer center and through the telestroke program in the hospital’s emergency room. Wayne Deschambeau, president and CEO of Wayne HealthCare, pointed out the hospital on its own could not afford to bring many of these services to Greenville. When the cancer center was built, they expected to treat approximately 200 people in the ﬁrst year. They saw over 300 patients. The telestroke program has allowed local residents to get treatment quicker, possibly saving lives. The program has

also been able to save patients money by determining their condition is not a stroke. Deschambeau expects this new collaboration will also provide positive results. “This collaboration will help serve the growing needs of our region for years to come,” he said. The new building will provide 7,900 square feet of space and will replace an existing medical building, which will be razed for additional parking once the new building is ﬁnished. The cost of construction is expected to be approximately $1.6 million, with an additional investment in capital equipment and furniture. The medical ofﬁces are expected to open in the summer of 2015.

GREENVILLE – Partnering for Progress (P4P) met for its RYAN BERRY quarterly Managing Editor meeting on bluebagmedia.com Oct. 22 and celebrated its ﬁfth anniversary. The program has successfully partnered local businesses with other businesses and education to make Darke County and the region stronger and more prepared to maintain the present businesses and experience growth. Since its start, P4P has assisted companies retain and create over 1,500 manufacturing positions, which added nearly $40 million of payroll annually into the Darke County community. The organization has also assisted companies with projects that represent more than $117 million in local capital expenditure. They have also secured more than $25 million in project incentives to assist growth. Under the leadership of Economic Development Director Marc Saluk, P4P has gone from a one-man economic development

department answering to three commissioners to a public-private, countywide collaborative venture combing resources and input from companies, communities and schools across the region to drive the area forward. The investor base has more than doubled from 35 in 2009 to 85 today and includes investors from eight counties across three states. Darke County CIC, the governing board of P4P, now has representation from Mercer, Darke and Randolph Counties. The organization now operates as mini-region. Some of the biggest successes for P4P have included the following: Fram – 180 retained jobs, 170 new jobs, and $10 million in capital expenditure Whirlpool – 450+ new jobs, $45 million in capital expenditure and 200,000 square foot expansion Midmark – 65 new jobs, $27 million in capital expenditure and 100,000 square foot expansion Ramco – 42 retained jobs, 45 new jobs, and $3.5 million in capital expenditure Continental Carbonic –

75 new jobs, $15 million in capital expenditure Jafe – 30 retained jobs, 55 new jobs and $4 million in capital expenditure. Saluk said, “Eighty percent of what we’ve discussed could not have happened without Partnering for Progress.” One of the newest projects is also showing signs of success. The economic development ofﬁce hired Dr. Lisa Wendel, a former school superintendent, to serve as the Career Pathway Coordinator. Her job is to work with schools to help build a curriculum that will make students workforce ready. Under her leadership, the economic development ofﬁce has been able to expose students to local manufacturing sites, build a standing committee with superintendents and manufacturers, move toward formalized career days, establish local, affordable and customizable training for the emerging, incumbent and transitional workforce. Saluk pointed out the efforts of P4P means they touch every community, every family, every day.

then struck her in the face and back of the head while she was holding their child. She had a cut on the side of her lip and a minor cut on the inside of her lip. She added he appeared to be drunk; police later smelled the odor of alcoholic beverage on him. Edger said he hadn’t come close to her because of a CPO, that they began to argue and he left. It was found he had a 2008 Domestic Violence conviction, so he was arrested on Felony Domestic Violence and taken to Darke County jail. THEFT IN PROGRESS On Oct. 20 police responded to Dollar Tree regarding a theft in progress. The suspect selected two candy bars and placed them on the counter. He then gave the cashier a ‘wet’ $20 bill. When the cash drawer was opened and the tray lifted to place the bill, the suspect leaned over and grabbed a handful of money. The two struggled brieﬂy and the cashier got some of the money back; the suspect ran out of the store. The cashier chased after the

suspect and saw him get into the passenger side of a silver or gray minivan. The vehicle took off toward Russ Road. The suspect was described as average build, 5’6” to 5’8”, facial hair (mustache or goatee), 25-30 years old, wearing a blue UD hoodie and a blue and white sock hat. According to the cashier he got away with $100. The ofﬁcer attempted to get a warrant for robbery since there was a struggle for the money; Darke County Prosecutor Kelly Ormsby stated to take it as a theft. CPO VIOLATION On Oct. 4 the victim said Jeremy Martinez was constantly trying to contact her by text messaging. He also left one voice mail. It was found he texted at 7:47, 7:48, 7:50, 7:51, 8:01 and 8:02. When he called at 7:51 he left a voicemail.

Louk gets probation for multiple church break-ins BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER GREENVILLE - After serving 115 days in the Darke County Criminal Justice Center, 21-yearold Ethan E. Louk was released Monday afternoon. Darke County Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein placed Louk on intensive probation for up to 60 months after a 15 count conviction for a number of church burglaries early this year. Louk was charged after an investigation by the Darke County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce suspected him and a 17-year-old accomplice broke into at least nine churches in Darke County between February and June. The pair are also charged with several break-ins into businesses in Arcanm, Pitsburg and New Madison. He pleaded guilty in September to 13 counts of Breaking & Entering, ﬁfth degree felonies; and two counts of Safe Cracking, felonies of the fourth

degree. The prosecution agreed to not seek a prison sentence due to the fact that this is Louk’s first felony convictions, though Darke County Prosecuting Attorney Kelly Ormsby said during Monday’s sentencing, that five or six years ago he would have sought some prison time for the number of charges involved. Ormsby and Judge Hein stated that the current push by state officials to not send low risk offenders to prison made this a case for community control sanctions. “I’m going to give you a chance to prove yourself,” Judge Hein told Louk. “All the talk means nothing, you got to want it and show it.” Louk was ordered to pay over $2,000 in restitution and serve 100 hours of community service. He is currently on probation in Miami County for similar theft offenses.

ing on Andrew Couch’s property, pounding on the front door, ringing the doorbell for several minutes and attempting to enter into a friend’s vehicle on the street. The friend is currently ﬁling a CPO against Palivec. Palivec had been warned for trespassing on Oct. 10, consequently he was issued a citation for Trespassing. JUVENILE On Oct. 16 police were advised of a ﬁght between two students at Greenville High School. A witness had gotten into an argument with one student, then went outside to calm down. The suspect met the witness as she started to return to the building and, according to the report, got into her face, yelling at her. The victim tried to slap the suspect but missed; the suspect tried to punch the victim but was stopped by another student. The suspect saw another student and started yelling at him.

another student. The student was cited for Disorderly Conduct and released to his father. WARRANTS On Oct. 16 police observed a passenger sitting in a vehicle.

Wayne HealthCare prepares for Ebola GREENVILLE – Like many other hospitals across the United States, Wayne HealthCare is planning and preparing for Ebola. The hospital administration and medical staff have made contact with the appropriate medical facilities and organizations in the region. They know ﬁrsthand that developing a collaborative plan is essential to ensure all frontline healthcare providers have the proper training, equipment and protocols to care for Ebola patients. In light of the recent events surrounding Ebola, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is reviewing protocols and procedures, and continuously disseminating revised guidelines and developing best practices. As new CDC guidelines are issued, Wayne HealthCare is working closely with the Ohio Department of Health (ODH), Ohio Hospital Association (OHA), Greater Dayton Area Hospital Association (GDAHA) and the Darke County Health Department to coordinate efforts, update protocols and procedures and educate the community. While updates are ongoing, they want the community to know that Wayne HealthCare has taken the proper steps to prepare and care for any patient who is infected with Ebola. The hospital is keeping the safety of healthcare providers at the forefront of all preparation and planning efforts.

Upon hire all Wayne HealthCare employees receive isolation and proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and training. Employees also receive annual Healthstream training, and frequently review of PPE, OSHA and blood borne pathogens policies and procedures. New and revised guidelines from the CDC, OSHA and other regulatory agencies are shared when information becomes available. Employees will be receiving additional training on the new and recently released CDC guidelines for PPE use. Not every hospital is equipped with a special area for Ebola patients, but almost every U.S. hospital can take care of an Ebola patient without creating a danger for staff or the public. Wayne HealthCare is on alert for patients with Ebola symptoms – such as fever, severe headache, muscle pain, weakness, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal (stomach) pain and unexplained hemorrhage (bleeding of bruising). According to the CDC, symptoms may appear anywhere from 2 to 21 days after exposure to Ebola. The average is 8 to 10 days. Ebola is constant in the media; however we need to remember that flu season is here and more people will die from the flu than Ebola. Wayne HealthCare encourages you to get a flu shot today. For more information on Ebola or the flu visit www.waynehealthcare.org.

Commissioner gives Edison students a lesson in government BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Nobody cares for you as much as you do, said Darke County Commissioner Mike Stegall... No such thing as luck. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;preparation meets with opportunity.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Every decision you make is your own. If you make a bad decisionâ&#x20AC;Ś own it and learn from it! Make the same bad decision again? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just plain stupid!â&#x20AC;? Stegall spent two days at the Edison Community College Darke County campus Oct. 15 and 16 talking to 37 public speaking students. The students, now halfway through their 16-week fall semester, were required to interact with Stegall and later, evaluate his effectiveness. Response to the commissionerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation was generally favorable. Stegallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speech was also a min-lesson in government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How many of you are interested in politics?â&#x20AC;? he asked one class. One person raised his hand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sadâ&#x20AC;Ś because everything I do affects you!â&#x20AC;? He asked them if they knew why every-

thing was such a mess. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because you elect them (politicians) then let them do whatever they want.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you know any-

thing about me?â&#x20AC;? he asked another class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Am I any good? Did I do anything bad?â&#x20AC;? No response. He told the students he was running for re-elec-

tion, unopposed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m either doing a h_____a good job or Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got everything screwed up so much nobody can ďŹ x it.â&#x20AC;? In the third class, he asked the same question. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you know anything about me?â&#x20AC;? One student out of all three classes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Echo Brown â&#x20AC;&#x201C; had done her research. She started listing off his duties and accomplishments. Stegall was visibly impressed. The commissioner told the classes the difference between a public servant and a politician.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;A politician will tell you what you want to hearâ&#x20AC;Ś then turn around and tell someone else what they want to hear. And it could be totally different. A public ofďŹ cial will tell both of you the same thing, whether you want to hear it or not. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the job I do? Vote me out!â&#x20AC;? He told the students three people in the county control their money. In addition to himself he listed Diane Delaplane and Michael Rhoades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do what a mayor does, only we do it for

the county.â&#x20AC;? He noted the Darke County Sheriff is a top priority because of safetyâ&#x20AC;Ś he gets over a third of their money. He also noted the parking lot, the plaza (where Edison is located), and other county government buildings, belong to them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My job is to take care of the dollars you give us. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any money. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your money!â&#x20AC;? Stegall asked the students if they wanted to stay in or leave Darke County. Out of the three classes, a little over a half wanted to stay. Of those wanting to leave, most planned to return â&#x20AC;&#x153;homeâ&#x20AC;? at some point in their lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Four years ago,â&#x20AC;? Stegall said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;our unemployment rate was 10 percent. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4.3 percent. We have the best economic development program in the state.â&#x20AC;? He noted Columbus is interested in what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing; Indiana is interested in what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doingâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are good jobs. Good paying jobs.

Legislators optimistic about state of Ohio BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; State Senators Bill Beagle and Keith Faber and State Representatives Jim Buchy and Richard Adams attended the annual State of the State Luncheon presented by the Darke County Chamber of Commerceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Legislative Committee. The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawmakers represent Darke, Miami, Mercer, and Montgomery County region. Their overall belief is Ohio is better off now than it was a few years ago. The state has gone from less than $1 in its rainy day fund to $1.5 billion by lowering taxes for individuals and small businesses, and creating jobs. The unemployment rate in Darke County has dropped from over 10 percent to under ďŹ ve percent. Sen. Beagle addressed workforce development and the work the state legislature is doing to have a job force that is ready to work. The state has made great strides in incorporating a curriculum in high schools throughout the state that includes skills needed in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workplace. Another area of success is creating a uniďŹ ed application that allows state agencies to work together more efďŹ ciently and getting individuals into the workforce. Rep. Adams spoke about the high cost of Medicaid to the state. It is the third largest expenditure by the federal government and Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest expenditure. Nineteen percent of Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popu-

lation is covered under Medicaid and 45 percent of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children rely on the program. The legislators are currently working to privatize the program and link payment to performance. The state is actively seeking out fraud and abuse and trying to stop it. The program was expanded to include a larger portion of the population when the federal government promised additional funds. Legislation is being worked on to act as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;circuit breaker.â&#x20AC;? If the federal government reduces funding the program would automatically shut down. Rep. Buchy addressed the drug issue in Ohio. The legislator has gone across the state listening to law enforcement ofďŹ cials and the two biggest issues are communication difďŹ culties that would allow law enforcement to act quicker and punishment for drug dealers. Buchy stressed there is a problem when drug dealers in cities like Cincinnati have free heroin Sundays trying to get non-users to become addicts. State Senate President Faber said it is the legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job to provide opportunity for the next generation. He believes the best way is through independence. That independence can be achieved is several areas, including education, taxes and jobs. He pointed out top down management in education doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work and feels school districts in the top 1/3 of the state should be allowed to run themselves. The state

He said the cost for students going up faster than the inďŹ&#x201A;ation rate is unsustainable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we add efďŹ ciency and get kids out of college faster we will increase the opportunities.â&#x20AC;?

Faber pointed out when the government cut spending and lowered taxes they witnessed more money come into the coffers faster, which helped erase a deďŹ cit and build up the rainy day fund.

County loan helps spur expansion GREENVILLE – For the second time since JAFE Decorating came under new ownership in 2010, the specialty glass painting and coating company will be expanding and adding jobs. With the help of a $180,000 loan from Darke County’s lowinterest revolving loan fund, the company plans to create at least 20 new full-time positions and add 14,000 square feet to their Greenville production facility. “The company has seen steady growth in the past few years so we couldn’t be more pleased to have this current expansion underway,” commented JAFE owner, Randy O’Dell. “The community support has been great but the project wouldn’t have been possible without the strong manage-

MVCTC plans conferences ENGLEWOOD – The Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC) has scheduled the 2014-2015 Parent Teacher Conferences for Nov. 5, 3-5 p.m. and Nov. 6, 3-7 p.m. This is an excellent opportunity for parents to visit MVCTC, meet the staff, and see examples of their child’s progress at MVCTC. Parents are asked to contact their child’s instructors to set-up a conference at a time that is convenient for them. A MVCTC staff directory with all phone numbers and e-mail addresses is available at http://www.mvctc.com/ staff/directory. Conference schedules fill up fast as appointments are made on a first-call, firstscheduled basis. For more information, visit www.mvctc.com or call 837-7781.

ment and production team we’re fortunate to have in place at JAFE.” This is the second time that JAFE has partnered with the county, in conjunction with the Partnering for Progress initiative, to help grow local operations. The county’s program helped JAFE acquire new machinery and equipment in 2011 in an expansion that almost doubled employment from approximately 30 employees to the 58 current positions. The current $180,000 loan has been issued by the county at 1.5% for seven years and again will be applied towards the purchase of new equipment. The resulting growth will likely push JAFE’s employment north of 80 positions, a total that should place the company among the Top-10 manufacturers in Darke County. “It’s impossible to overstate the importance of the continued growth of locallyowned companies such as JAFE,” stated Darke County Economic Development Director Marc Saluk. “Growth among our largest companies is welcome and vital, but the future of the county is also strongly tied to the sustained growth of quality mid-size operations such as JAFE. This is a very important company and a very important expansion”

According to O’Dell, who co-owns the business with his wife Lisa, the upgrade will enable JAFE to better serve existing clients as well as take on new customers. To assist with the training requirements that will accompany the $2M expansion, JobsOhio has committed $21,684 to the project in the form of a workforce grant. For more information on the company, please visit www.jafedecorating.com. For more information on the Partnering for Progress initiative, please call the Darke County Economic Development Office at 937-548-3250 JAFE Decorating, Inc. has been in business since 1978 providing specialty color/ paint coatings for various industries including: automotive aftermarket lighting, commercial lighting, consumer lighting, restaurant table lighting, pharmaceutical, floral wholesale, ad specialty, outdoor recreation, chrome mirrors serving industrial and specialty automotive, solar filters, and personalized gifts for all occasions.

ON YOUR MIND

READERS WRITE Ansonia Levy Information Ansonia Local Schools will have their 1% Income Tax Renewal on the ballot November 4, 2014. The income tax levy is a renewal and WILL NOT be an increase in current taxes. The levy generates approximately $570,000 annually, which equals 8% of the district budget and would be for the next ﬁve years. The Ansonia Board of Education and administration appreciate the support of the community in the passage of this levy in November 2010. The district continues to responsibly monitor all expenses to the taxpayers and community. As a result, since the passage of the levy, the following measures have been taken to control expenses: * The district is now saving approximately $50,000 per year in electric costs with our Power Purchasing Agreement with Solar Power & Light. * Since the passage of the levy we have absorbed three staff positions for a savings of approximately of $240,000. * The use of four compressed natural gas buses saves the district approximately $40,000 annually in fuel costs. * The shared service agreements for the superintendent, treasurer, and district technology coordinator save the district approximately $100,000 annually. The district has been able to reduce expenditures while still providing a quality education for the students of Ansonia Local Schools. For the 2013-2014 Report Card, Ansonia Local Schools performed very well, receiving an “A” grade for Indicators Met, Performance of Students with Disabilities, Graduation Rate, and Overall Value Added: the measurement of student growth for grades 4 – 8 in reading and math. This rating compares Ansonia Local’s student growth to those in Ohio in one year’s time span. Impressively, Ansonia Local Schools has met or exceeded this growth measure each year reported so far. The Ansonia Board of Education, administration, staff, and students would appreciate your support of the 1% income tax levy on November 4th. Please support the students of Ansonia Local Schools to ensure the quality education our students have been receiving will continue. If you have any questions regarding the levy, please contact me at 3374000. Jim Atchley Superintendent Ansonia Local Schools ------------------------------------Your Vote County To Darke County Voters: The next time you hear someone tell you that their vote doesn’t count – let them know that in Ohio there were 43 elections statewide won by only one vote in a previous general election. Thus, voters should not only be sure to vote, but also think carefully about their vote – casting it with care and consideration for the candidates for Ohio’s Supreme Court. Our state’s highest court determines whether state laws are constitutional and hears cases appealed from lower courts. Because it is the court of last resort in Ohio, it’s vital we elect experienced, principled justices and that means returning Justice Judi French to the bench. She is committed to interpreting the law fairly, with respect for the role of the judiciary. Justice Judi French has ten years of

appeals court experience. She is currently on the Ohio Supreme Court and also served eight years on the Tenth District Court of Appeals. Her opponent has never been an appeals court judge. Justice French is rated “highly recommended” by the Ohio State Bar Association, and has been named a 2014 Friend of Agriculture by the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation. She has been endorsed by a large number of diverse groups, including the Ohio Fraternal Order of Police, the Family Medicine PAC, Friends of Ohio Hospitals, and the Ohio Restaurant Association. She has earned the confidence of Ohio residents and should be retained on the Ohio Supreme Court – please cast your vote for Judith French. (If you have a problem remembering the correct name when you vote for Supreme Court Justices – just vote for the women – they have both served Ohio with GREAT distinction). Lyn Bliss, President Ohio Federation of Republican Women ------------------------------------Support for Gillis Dear Editor: This letter is to urge support for the election of Dee Gillis to the State Senate in the 5th District of Ohio. The areas covered in Darke County are nine townships to the east and south being as follows: Adams, Franklin, Monroe, Van Buren, Twin, Neave, Butler, Liberty and Harrison. Dee is very well qualified for this position since she has both legislative and executive experience having been a former Mayor of Tipp City and also she is still an active and highly respected Council Member. Dee has also been a long time member of the Tipp City Chamber of Commerce and was selected by that esteemed organization to be its Chairman, demonstrating her leadership ability. I am confident that she will show leadership in the State Senate and she certainly understands the very difficult real estate tax situation we now have concerning rural Ohio. If elected, Dee will work with the General Assembly and with the Ohio Tax Department to modify the tremendous and unwarranted increases in the Current Agricultural Use Value (CAUV). She will also vote in the General Assembly to restore the 10% Rollback, 2½% Residential Reduction and restore the Homestead Exemption as it was before the Budget Bill was passed last June 2013. These property tax relief measures will benefit our agricultural base and remember that Darke County is often listed as the #1 Ag County in Ohio. I therefore wholeheartedly urge all voters in the 5th District to seriously consider voting for Dee Gillis for State Senate. Theodore O. Finnarn, Greenville ------------------------------------Make a Difference How do you know ‘you cannot’ make a difference if you vote when ‘you do not’ vote? What are you basing your decision on? I want you to gather truthful, accurate and correct information with which to make your decision. Scotland had an 85 percent turnout for their very important decision. Why can’t we get the same kind of results here? My statement is Demoncrats have intimidated people not to vote because they falsely believe the fewer people who vote the better chance they have of winning. I want you who think your vote does not count to get registered and vote.

READERS WRITE Then look at the results. Didn’t your candidate win by a larger margin? Didn’t the issues get approved by a larger margin? No one should be intimidated not to vote. It is a privilege and a duty. This country has a very proud heritage. Our ﬁghting spirit is well documented. Are you willing to throw that away because you feel intimidated by Demoncrats. Demoncrats falsely believe they have all the right answers. They are all talk and no results. Check their fabulously famous accomplishments. Health Care Reform Failure! Financial Reform Failure! Job Improvement Failure! Better Economy Failure! Foreign Policy Failure! More regulations being put into effect which has derailed business growth! Then there are at least 14 scandals. No answers found! The truth never revealed! Just plain denial that they have done anything wrong. Get out and vote. Your vote does and will make a difference. Show Demoncrats and America you care enough to vote and Make a Difference. Dale Curtis, Greenville ------------------------------------Tolerance no basis for homosexuality Editor: Many in our country, especially youth, have accepted homosexuality as normal, because the standards for living have changed. Tolerance has replaced truth as the plumb line for determining right from wrong. Youth have been taught that there is no objective truth in life, and that those who say there is objective truth for life have an agenda, therefore they are not to be believed. But if there is no objective truth in life, then how can we live? Where then do we get our basis for right and wrong? Public opinion? Public opinion changes over time, and changes from culture to culture. What if the public opinion is wrong? Public opinion supported the Nazis in Germany. Did that make it right? Public opinion supported slavery in the south before the Civil War. Did that make it right? Our system of government is based on the consent of the governed in order to protect our liberties. We have taken that approach and applied it to moral issues. As we change our leaders over time, we are also trying to change right and wrong. The prophet Isaiah’s statement:”Truth is fallen in the street, and uprightness cannot enter” applies to our day as well. We condemn the terrorist who cuts off heads of

his captives, yet protect the abortionist. We condemn child molesters, yet protect deviant behavior. We are becoming like Israel in the Old Testament where it says: “Every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” Tolerance has become a code word, a smoke screen, for protecting homosexuality. The homosexual agenda wants tolerance for itself, but is aggressively trying to squelch, and even criminalize, Christian expression in the public arena. It has no tolerance for those who disagree with it. Tolerance is a virtue in our relationships; dealing with others with kindness and fairness is wonderful. But tolerance is a poor foundation for determining what is right or wrong. Scott Eley, Greenville, Ohio ------------------------------------Not Asking for More Money To All Arcanum-Butler School Residents: No one wants to spend money on something that’s not necessary! We are not asking for more money, only your vote and continued support for Arcanum Butler Schools on

November 4th. On November 4th, we are asking you to approve a renewal levy from the income tax levy passed in 2006. This .75% income tax levy generates $875,000 a year for the next 5 years for our district. This is huge! This money is used for the everyday operations including supplies, staff, technology, equipment and utilities; everything needed to help improve the students’ education. Our school is very cautious in the way we use your tax dollars. Arcanum Butler spends over $2,000 less than the state average per student and $500 less per student than similar districts. We are not wasting your hard-earned dollar! Despite spending less than the state average, our students performed exceptionally well on the state report cards. We received all A’s and B’s on the newest report cards, in which only two other districts in surrounding counties matched. Our district has maintained ﬁscal responsibility by accepting pay freezes and insurance concessions among employees. Administrative salaries were also frozen

for 3 years since the 2010 renewal and the Board of Education implemented a new salary scale. The district has also been sharing more positions, reducing the overall paid positions between the middle school and high school. All of these reductions are for the good of the students and to make the most out of the money we have to fulﬁll their education. It is not a money issue to us as much as it is an educational issue. As previously stated, we are not asking for more money! We are only asking for your continued faith and support in what you’ve already given us. These kids are the future of our little town; the future of our great country! The general operations that are funded by this levy renewal will continue to enrich our children’s education. Who doesn’t want to help with that?! We know that the Trojan community pride will follow through and will provide the support for student success! Thank you for your vote! Jill Etherington Arcanum Butler PTO

From the Publisher’s Pen BY KEITH FOUTZ PUBLISHER www.bluebagmedia.com In the newspaper world, there has always been the desire to be ﬁrst with a story - to get the “scoop” and beat the other guys. We’re certainly guilty of that at times as we take pride in bringing you the most up-to-date daily news from your locally owned and operated weekly newspaper. From unfortunate accidents, crime coverage to store openings/ closings, our mission is to be Darke County’s newspaper and website of choice. We also understand the importance of social media, which is why we developed Bluebagmedia. com and are pleased it has become a huge success in a very short period of time. We believe in the partnership between the print and digital platforms as our

newspaper continues to evolve and prosper. Our goal is to be both informative and entertaining while ensuring you receive accurate and complete information as it occurs. Not to mention the hundreds if not thousands of advertising values and coupons provided each day and week through both our print and digital formats. For instance, there have been a lot of rumors and information provided during the last few weeks regarding Wayne HealthCare and its union afﬁliate, WPNA. The Early Bird received press releases and we spoke to both management and union representatives. Unlike others, we made the decision not to run the press releases because we felt it was important to give our readers and our community the most up-to-date, accu-

rate and in-depth coverage we could. We felt and feel like anything less simply doesn’t do justice to anyone except create more rumors and speculation, regardless of which side of the issue you fall on. In this week’s edition of The Early Bird and online at Bluebagmedia.com we are providing the complete and in-depth story of these negotiations between the two parties. We are not taking sides nor are we attempting to persuade anyone of the rights and wrongs or pros and cons of each side. We’re reporting the facts, in-depth and accurately. That’s what we believe a locally owned and operated newspaper should do. Not print press releases so we can “be ﬁrst” to break a story. We think you deserve better than that.

St. John Lutheran honors All Saints GREENVILLE – The celebration of All Saints’ is certainly nothing new for Christians. On Nov. 2, millions of Christian brothers and sisters around the world will again observe this Christian “Memorial Day” as has been done since the third century. For over 30 years, St. John Lutheran Church, 7418 State Route 121 N., Greenville, has marked this day by decorating all the graves in its cemetery across the highway from the church building. The All Saints’ emphasis gives the Christian Church the opportunity to thank God for the lives of the saints, and especially those near and dear to us, who have shown us the way of faith by their words and deeds. The day also encourages today’s Christians to renew and deepen their faith so they might

be reunited with the saints and martyrs of the ages in the world to come. The decoration of the cemetery is done with a red carnation at each grave. At that time members of the St. John community will meet with the families and friends of those members who have died in this past year. They will lead a brief devotional at each of those graves. Being remembered this year are Judy Zechar, Kathy Black, Lee and Barbara Elsass, Lois Riggs, LeRoy Landis, Paul Schultz, Bill Hoop and Shelba Wilson. You are invited to share this day of remembrance with the people of St. John at 9 a.m. on Nov. 2. Especially invited to participate in this special day are those who have family and/or loved ones buried in the St. John Cemetery.

GREENVILLE – The Cancer Association of Darke County will hold its annual Gospel Sing on Nov. 9. The Gospel Sing is a free, nondenominational concert to be held at St. Clair Memorial Hall, Greenville, starting at 4 p.m. A freewill offering will be taken that afternoon with proceeds to go to the local cancer association. Several groups are scheduled to sing, so please watch The Early Bird and Bluebag media for speciﬁc details. Two of the groups scheduled to sing are Nancy Livingston and The Lemon Family Nancy states “I can’t imagine life without music. I was born into a musical family and inherited not only a love for hearing it, but a love for singing it! “I began performing music in public at the age of 21, with my husband, Dennis. We performed at various venues, singing a mix of country, big band, and pop. Our music took us on the road from 1981 to 1985, singing all over the Midwest. I had begun to write music in 1978 and was blessed to have worked with other writers in Nashville for several years. While my songs came close to being recorded by major artists, as they say...close only counts in horseshoes. “In 2000, Dennis decided to put his full time in farming and I continued to sing in local venues, which I enjoyed. However, because something happened to me earlier, in

Nancy Livingston

1995, an added new and exciting direction was brought to my musical endeavors. I became a Christian! “At a point in my life where personal struggles were at an all-time high and my life seemed pretty much worthless, I called out to the God I had denied all my life. Within seconds, I experienced a mountaintop conversion from an atheist to a born again believer. Knowing the Savior is my greatest treasure. He has seen me through each and every storm, the greatest being the loss of my husband Dennis in January of this year. Dennis isn’t really lost, of course. I know exactly where he is! Dennis’ faith was an inspiration to me. “I love to sing songs about God and His love, but I still love music of all styles and love to share the gift of singing to all people. Heartache, joy, sorrow, pain, pleasure .... all of life’s experiences are wrapped up into mere minutes called a “song”. Those experiences are necessary. All life experiences are designed to draw us to the One who gave them

The Lemon Family

to us and can deliver us from them!” The Lemon Family is once again very excited to perform for this year’s Cancer Society Beneﬁt concert. Lifelong residents of Greenville, they enjoy giving back to their community whenever possible. Mike continues to work at BASF in Greenville and is also an independent consultant for Lightyear Wireless, a communications company. Lori works for Whitewater Eye Centers, traveling between their Greenville and Richmond locations. She is also the music director/organist for St Paul Lutheran Church in Greenville. Kari graduated from Ball State University in December, 2012 with a degree in music education. After spending her ﬁrst year teaching with two elementary schools in Connersville, Ind., she is very happy to be back in Greenville teaching 7th and 8th grade music at Greenville Junior High School and helping at South Elementary. Kari also directs two choirs at St Paul Lutheran and helps coordinate youth

events for the church. Julie is a senior at Ball State University, majoring in counseling psychology with a minor in criminal justice. Her goal is to work with youth, but exactly in what capacity is still unknown. Julie is also very involved in a Dance Marathon project at Ball State, which raises funds for Riley’s Children Hospital. The Lemon family continues to sing together as much as possible, which is normally weekly at their home church or out and about if their schedules allow. More singers will be listed next week for the Gospel Sing. All proceeds will go to the Cancer Association of Darke County, 1111 Sweitzer St, Greenville, Ohio 45331, which serves cancer patients in Darke County only. The association partners with United Way and is not afﬁliated with the American Cancer Society, Relay for Life or other organizations. There is always a need for volunteers. Please call Christine at 5489960 if you are interested in volunteering or have any questions.

St. Mary’s hosts Harvest Sounds will beneﬁt DCHS Holy Hour on 11/5 GREENVILLE – The Archdiocese of Cincinnati will hold a Holy Hour for Vocations on Nov. 5, 7-8 p.m. at more than 20 parishes simultaneously across the Archdiocese. More parishes will open their doors for a Holy Hour on Nov. 6. St. Mary’s Catholic Church will hold its Holy Hour on Nov. 5. Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. A Holy Hour is a special time set aside for prayer in front of the tabernacle in which Jesus is uniquely present in the Blessed Sacrament. This special Holy Hour will give young and old alike the opportunity to come together in prayer, answering Jesus’ one prayer request, “Beg the harvest master to send out laborers for the harvest” (Matthew 9:38). “Not only will this be a great opportunity to pray for vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life, but also it will be an

The concert will be presented at 3 p.m., Nov. 2, at First Universalist Church of New Madison, 331 East Washington St., New Madison. The Darke County Humane Society, whose mission it is to instill humane principles and enforce laws for the prevention of cruelty, especially to children and animals, was founded in 1953. DCHS is an allvolunteer organization which cares for injured, abused, and unwanted animals. The Humane Ofﬁcer is trained and has the responsibility of prosecuting any person guilty of an act of cruelty to people or animals. Funding is

received through donations, bequests, grants and fundraising. The funds received are used to pay for expenses such as veterinary services, food, shelter, medicine and a spay/neuter assistance program. Performing at Harvest Sounds will be Salem, a quartet of singers who came together this past July as members of the Salem Church of God in Clayton. Salem is an eclectic group, performs a cappela, and is composed of a variety of ages, backgrounds, and professions. Featured are Dan Garner as lead; Dyan Garner, tenor; Dave Middlestaedt, baritone; and Herb Peer, bass. The growing Salem repertoire includes favorite sacred and much-loved Southern Gospel music, bringing joy to the singers and to their audiences. At performances in churches and other venues, their music is their message,

and they are eager to share their talent and love of life with those attending the Harvest Sounds concert. Closing the program will be vocalist Mimi Klipstine. Until her last year of high school, Mimi attended school in West Milton. She is a 2011 graduate of Interlochen Arts Academy at Interlochen, Mich., where she portrayed Reno Sweeney in Anything Goes. During her senior year, she received the Stephen Schwartz Scholarship, awarded by the Human Race Theatre Co. of Dayton. Mimi is currently a senior Musical Theatre major at Wright State University where she has performed as Fanny Brice in Funny Girl, and as Rose in Gypsy. She was Miss Adelaide in Guys and Dolls at the Weathervane Playhouse, Newark, Ohio, and has performed in Sunday in the Park at Short North

Stage, Columbus. This past summer Mimi was an apprentice at Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey, appearing in The Winter’s Tale. After college, she aspires to do work on Broadway, at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Ontario, Canada, and with various national touring companies.

Paintings from Dan Knepper will be featured during Art at the Mill.

Hovey/Knepper featured at the Mill GREENVILLE – Gary Hovey creates sculptures out of stainless steel forks, knives, and spoons. His unique work will be featured at Bear’s Mill’s Art at the Mill, along with the paintings of Jackson Center resident Dan Knepper, who taught art for 26 years before becoming a full-time artist. “This exhibit will be fun for all who view it,” said Julie Clark, retail manager and gallery coordinator for Bear’s Mill. “Dan paints lovely, accessible pictures that transport the viewer to a warm and comfortable place, while Gary’s remarkable sculptures will take your breath away with their realism and beauty,” Ms. Clark stated. The exhibit will open on Oct. 31 with a reception featuring hors d’oeuvres and drinks from 6-9 p.m.; the artists will speak brieﬂy about their work, methods, and inspiration at 7 p.m. This exhibit continues through Nov. 23. Knepper started painting because he liked the challenge of capturing faces, and ﬁnds the human face and form to be amazing. But as the award-winning artist continued to grow and develop, he discovered what most fascinated and inspired him was the light, a driving force for the great Impressionists as well as many other painters. “When I paint landscapes it’s the illumination of leaves and grasses, the glowing shadows...those amazing moments when the air itself has color that I try to capture and pass on,” Knepper explains. He hopes that viewers step into the moments in time that he captures, hearing the breezes blow, feeling the warm sunlight, and

following the inviting paths contained within the worlds he creates on canvas. Hovey says his sculptures are about things he enjoys – wildlife, welding, and humor, factors readily apparent in diverse pieces that evoke smiles of delight. Gary finds his work challenging as well as therapeutic; diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1994, the New Knoxville resident says meeting the high physical demands of his art provides “something to look forward to, a reason to get up in the morning.” According to Ms. Clark, Hovey’s work has been among the most popular ever presented at Bear’s Mill. “His impressive sculptures are at first appreciated for their life-like form; you see a graceful bird on the wing, a predator ready to pounce, and then you look closer and realize that the animals are made of stainless steel flatware creatively welded together, and your enjoyment reaches a whole new level,” Ms. Clark explained. Bronze sculptures, paintings, and drawings by renowned Urbana artist Mike Major remain on display at historic Bear’s Mill through Oct. 26. “Art at the Mill” receives financial support from Darke County Endowment for the Arts. Art exhibits are on view during regular Mill store hours, 11 a.m. till 5 p.m. daily. Historic Bear’s Mill is owned and operated by Friends of Bear’s Mill, a non-profit organization, and is located at 6450 Arcanum-Bear’s Mill Road about five miles east of Greenville. For more information, contact Bear’s Mill at 548-5112 or www. bearsmill.com.

Wayne Trail plans veterans tribute

The Gateway and Greenville Library staff are preparing for Fright Night Friday on Oct. 31.

Fright Night Friday GREENVILLE – Already the Library is getting pretty scary and Halloween is weeks away! That’s because everyone is gearing up for a “haunted library” on Oct. 31, 7-11 p.m. (the Library will be closing early at 4 p.m.). Mark your calendars for “Fright Night Friday!” This event is being conducted by Gateway Youth with assistance from other community groups such as ACES kids, Darke County Recovery staff, Library staff, and the GHS theater group. They’re busy building scenes and characters and preparing costumes and makeup. Some of the scenes encountered along the pre-designated route will be a chamber of horrors, a zombie graveyard, a mad scientist’s laboratory, a haunted maze, and the usual witches, monsters, and aliens. Be prepared to be surprised, shocked, and spooked! The price is $5 per person at the door. “Fright Night Friday” is a fundraising event for Gateway which is a non-proﬁt organization. As Prevention Specialist Rob Folker explains, Gateway is a program

that helps kids in many ways such as resolving socialization issues, improving grades, learning good manners, helping with stress and family dynamics, and becoming involved in the community. For instance the kids helped the library three times this past summer with the set-up and take-down for Lunch on the Lawn. They enjoyed how people responded to their work efforts and the satisfaction of helping out. They also became interested in becoming library patrons. Gateway also hosts a supervised rec center and has a summer program which this past year consisted of working at the city park, ﬁeld trips, and “boot camp” exercise. Referrals come from various sources such as the schools or courts. More info at gatewayyouthprograms. org. Crazed YA Specialist Reuben Kennett and Rob are seen breaking through the boards trying to keep them at bay! They don’t know what kind of situations to expect between now and Halloween. Just be sure to join them that night for the fright of your life!

ARCANUM – On Nov. 1, 11 a.m., all are welcome when the Arcanum Wayne Trail Historical Society presents “A Tribute to our Military” honoring veterans and those currently serving in the Armed Forces.

Following the ceremony, including the laying of a wreath at the Veterans Memorial, you are encouraged to view the flags of all those being honored, to reflect on their valor. Join them for a reception in the Historical Society. View the “Missing Man Table” and other military memorabilia displays. Many photos of their service men and women will also be displayed. If you have a photo you would like to share, please bring it with you. The “Missing Man Table” has symbolic items placed to remind everyone of their duty to our country and the love of family and friends awaiting their return. It is a somber reminder of all those who left, but did not return. Flags will be displayed until after Veterans Day, Nov. 11. On Nov. 12 and 13, those who submitted names may take the flags with their honoree’s name attached. They hope you will

Brethren Retirement Communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Winter Stay Program has started and we just welcomed our ďŹ rst Winter Stay resident for this season, Wanda Brandon. After just one day of living at BRC, Wanda was quick to share, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are calling for a bad winter and that helped make my decision easier to try out the Winter Stay Program. My family lives more than 2 hours away, and it gives them peace of mind knowing that I am safe this winter. This is a very nice place to be and I

Wanda quickly reunited with a friend of hers for many years, Thelma Rhoades, who has been a resident at BRC for more than 2 years. The ladies were enjoying an afternoon walk and reminiscing. Thelma says she knows Wanda will enjoy her stay and tells her, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like all the friendly people and the food is good too.â&#x20AC;?

Berne IN Tour The Chestnut Village trip for October took us to Adams County, Indiana. We started our day with a wonderful tour of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Limberlostâ&#x20AC;? State Historical Site. Here, we toured the beautiful 12-room log cabin built in the late 1800â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. It was the former home of the well-known author, Gene StrattonPorter, who wrote A Girl of the Limberlost and Freckles. As we went from room to room, our outstanding tour guide brought her books to life as he told of her feats as a naturalist, photographer, artist, author and movie producer. Following the tour, we had

a presentation about restoring the wetlands that once bordered the cabin. From there we visited the Ceylon covered bridge and then visited the charming Swiss village of Berne, in the Amish area. We saw the Mensterberg Plaza and clock tower, then had lunch and toured the Amish Country Popcorn factory. Then it was on to Swissland Cheese, Cobblestone Bakery and a ďŹ nal stop for ice cream before we headed back to Chestnut Village. It was a great way to spend a fall day!

Edison will present Frankenstein

PIQUA – The Edison Stagelight Players will perform Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, adapted by R.N. Sandberg, beginning running through Nov. 2. All performances will be held in the Robinson Theater at the Piqua Campus. Though it didn’t gain popularity until many years after being written, Frankenstein is one of the ﬁrst examples of science ﬁction. The story follows an eccentric scientist who attempts to play God by building a human in his lab, but winds up creating a monster that destroys his world. Often thought of as one of the most engaging horror stories of all time, Frankenstein incites both fear and love. This fall, the Edison Stagelight Players are enthused to present a new, but faithful to the original, adaptation of Frankenstein by Princeton professor and successful playwright R.N. Sandberg. One review of this script explains, “Sandberg’s stage version…has been hailed as one of the truest reinterpretations of the original Frankenstein. Though set in the icy polar regions where Victor Frankenstein has chased his creature,

the production is really a profound journey through the scientist’s memories of the unnatural son he created then abandoned.” Director Emily Beisner is enthused about producing an adaptation of Mary Shelley’s most revered story. “This story is told through a series of intense ﬂashbacks. Our production will feature creative lighting, sound, and Steampunk inspired costumes. This show is sure to immerse audiences into the world of Victor Frankenstein during 18th Century Russia.” Production Advisor and Edison faculty member, William Loudermilk, is credited with designing the performance’s Steampunk style costumes. Performances are scheduled for Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, 7:30 p.m. A special matinee performance will be held on Nov. 2, 3 p.m. Tickets for the show are $7 for adults, $5 for students and $3 for seniors and can be purchased at the door. Children under 12 are free (with parental supervision). For further information, contact Karen Baker at 381-1502 or kbaker@ edisonohio.edu.

Just a Crust class BRADFORD – You’ve probably heard the old expression “easy as pie.” But if you’ve ever tried to make a pie from scratch, you may have wondered why anyone ever thought pie was easy. Usually, it is the pie crust that convinces most people they can’t bake a pie. If you have ever been defeated by pie crust, the Bradford Public Library is offering a class for you. Just a Crust will be a hand-on learning experience. You will be introduced to the science of pie crust ingredients, and the art of

combining and rolling them to produce a flaky pastry. Each participant will actually make two crusts to take home to fill and bake. Filling recipes will be shared. The class will be lead by Teresa Stryker, who has 41 years of pie baking adventures to share. The flour will be flying on Nov. 5, 6:30 p.m., at the Bradford Public Library. The fee for the class will be $5, to cover the cost of materials. You may sign up for the class by calling the library at 448-2612. The deadline for sign-up is Nov. 1.

Ebola Hotline for West Central Ohio DAYTON – As a result of the worldwide Ebola crisis, many people in our community have learned something about the virus. However, many have additional questions and are not certain where to call for reliable information. Therefore, the health departments in the West Central Region of Ohio have established a hotline number for the public where they can call and get correct answers to the questions they may have. People who are in the West Central Region, which includes Champaign, Clark, Darke, Greene, Miami, Montgomery, Preble, and Shelby counties, can call 2256217 for additional information about Ebola, from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday. Ebola information is available at any time by visiting PHDMC.org. It is essential that everyone understand the way you can be infected with Ebola is through direct contact with someone who has been infected with Ebola and is showing symptoms. The likelihood of that situation for most U.S. citizens is very remote. A person infected with Ebola can’t spread the disease until symptoms appear. The time from exposure to when signs or symptoms of the disease appear (the incubation period) is

2 to 21 days, but the average time is 8 to 10 days. Signs of Ebola include fever (higher than 101.5°F) and symptoms like severe headache, muscle pain, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, or unexplained bleeding or bruising. There is no FDAapproved vaccine available for Ebola. Experimental vaccines and treatments for Ebola are under development, but they have not yet been fully tested for safety or effectiveness. If you believe you are infected, call your doctor’s office or emergency room before going. This will help them prepare and protect other people who may be in the office or emergency room. While Ebola is much more lethal than the seasonal flu, individuals should remember we will have thousands of deaths in the United States this winter because those with weakened immune systems or those who are in poor health failed to get a flu shot. Now is the time for all individuals older than 6 months to get their flu shots. The early signs of Ebola are similar to the early signs of flu. Get your flu shot now, and reduce the fear you might experience if you were to suddenly to have flu-like symptoms.

Natalie is shown here fulfilling an order at All American Clothing Co.

Empowerment through employment GREENVILLE – If you ask what she thinks of her job, Natalie Davis would say, “I really enjoy it.” Natalie was recently hired by All American Clothing Company in Arcanum where she works in the warehouse supporting order fulﬁllment. Natalie’s job provides a variety of tasks in a team environment. In October 2011, Natalie began her journey with the Community First Department (CF) of the Darke County Board of Developmental Disabilities. The CF department assists individuals with learning job skills, applying for jobs, and on-the-job training. Natalie successfully learned how to write a resume, gather references, and interview. She applied and interviewed for jobs with the CF department’s assistance and now holds two part-time jobs. When the opportunity to interview at All American Clothing Company occurred, Natalie was excited and nervous. Natalie applied what she had learned through her CF experiences and was offered the position. Lawson Nickol, co-owner of All American Clothing Company, shared, “We’re happy to have the ability to give someone an opportunity and a chance.” Natalie expresses that she enjoys the people she works with and the tasks she performs. According to Logan Beam, Director of Marketing and Communication, from All American Clothing Company, “In an age where approximately 98 percent of all clothing worn by Americans is produced overseas… All American Clothing Co. is one of the only clothing companies in the country to manufacture all of its products within the United States, using exclusively American raw materials. The cotton in a pair of All American Jeans is grown in the United States. The denim is woven here as well. The buttons and zippers are made here, too. And despite the fact that American labor is signiﬁcantly more expensive than foreign labor, All American Clothing Co. manufactures all of its apparel in the United States with a mission to support American workers.” Natalie is proudly one of the American workers sending American-made clothing to doorsteps. When asked what Natalie brings to the work place her supervisor, Kim Burns, explained, “Natalie brings diversity to our work place. Most of us take life skills for granted, and until you are blessed with the opportunity to work with an individual who has a disability, you can’t truly understand how much they want success as much as anyone does.” October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month as a reminder that people who have disabilities have a desire to work. When Kim was asked what effect Natalie has had on her or her coworkers, she expressed, “Working with Natalie has brought awareness of the need for job opportunities for individuals with disabilities. It

does take additional time and patience to train, but in the end if you have helped someone gain conﬁdence and new job

skills everyone who has been involved will have a sense of accomplishment.” Businesses interested in learning more

Disabled vet speaks at local amputee support group GREENVILLE – Retired Navy disabled veteran, Robert “Bob” Haas, was the featured speaker at the October Amputees In Motion (AIM) group Monday evening in Greenville. Haas, who is a fellow amputee, spoke to the group about his life with a service dog. Haas suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and relies on his service companion “Gracie” to help when things get too hard to handle for Bob. He and “Gracie” travel all over the nation talking about rights of a person living with a disability and service dog. The pair currently live in the Columbus area where Bob

hosts an amputee support group. The AIM group meets every second Monday of the month in the Darke County Board of Elections area. For more information like the group on Facebook at www. facebook.com/ohioamputees

Dylan Williams foundation donates 6 life-saving devices

The Franklin Monroe Jets hold up their trophy for earning runner-up in the District Finals.

FM ends season as runner-up BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR www.bluebagmedia.com PITSBURG – “It’s very difﬁcult to get to this position and I’m very proud of my guys. They did a great job to get here,” said Franklin Monroe Coach Danny Diceanu after his team lost 3-2 in the Division III District Boys Soccer Finals against Seven Hills; one of the top ranked teams in the state. The Jets held the lead most of the game after Jacob Shellabarger found the back of the net two minutes into the game. Both teams played outstanding defense for the rest half and went into the break with one point separating them. It took the Stingers 10 minutes into the second half to ﬁnally get on the scoreboard, but the 1-1 tie didn’t last long when seven minutes later Seven Hills found the net

again to go up 2-1. Not to be outdone, Franklin Monroe got the ball to senior Marcus Horner and with 15:55 remaining in the game tied the score 2-2. The Jets nearly lost the lead ﬁve minutes later when the ball went off the hands of freshman goal keeper Matthew Poe, but the score was called off when the assistant referee said the Stingers were offside. FM took a big hit a few minutes later when Brian Robison was heading for a possible score and went down hard. Trainers immediately began looking at the knee that had been causing him problems all season. He was taken off on a cart and didn’t return. The loss of their big senior didn’t help and a minute later Seven Hills got in position and scored

the winning goal. Diceanu told his team after the game to keep their heads up because they have no reason to be ashamed. “We were ready for them. We prepared pretty well for them in a short amount of time. We did the best we could.” He continued, “Sometimes it doesn’t work the way you want it. But that doesn’t mean you fail.” Coach Diceanu admits he has a young team. He will be losing three quality seniors that have been to the District Finals for four consecutive years, but he has a lot of youth that will be growing in experience. He started four freshmen in this game and has several sophomores and juniors ready to step up next year. “What a great experience for these freshmen to come in and start and play and do real well,” he said.

BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER www.bluebagmedia.com UNION CITY, Ind. Since the tragic death of their son last July, Erick and Georgiana Williams have made it their mission to educate and better prepare youth sports facilities in case of a similar incident that took 8-year-old Dylan during a baseball all-star practice. On Wednesday, Oct. 22 the Williams family, along with other members of the Dylan Williams Forever an All-Star Foundation, gathered at the Community Room in downtown Union City, Ind. to present six more automated external defibrillators (AED) to area youth sports communities. With this donation the foundation has given out over a dozen of the $2,500 devices to-date. Three winning baseball teams from the first Dylan Williams Baseball Invitational, held in July at the Dylan Williams Memorial Park in Union City, Ind., were each presented with an AED for their league’s ball fields. The three winning teams represented for the 8U, 10U and 12U age groups were: Coldwater, Lynn, Ind. and Greenville. “We hope you will keep these AEDs at your fields and make a requirement for all coaches to take CPR courses,” Erick Williams said during the presentation ceremony. Since Dylan’s accident, all the youth baseball coaches in Union City, Ind. have taken CPR classes offered free of charge by the Union City fire and rescue personnel. All have also been instructed on how to use the AED if ever needed in an emergency situation. In addition to the three tournament winning teams, the Dylan Williams Forever an All-Star Foundation was able to donate two AEDs to the Village of Versailles to have on-hand at Heritage and Ward parks for both youth baseball and softball seasons. The money for these were raised during the recent “Feel the Heat for a Cause 5K” sponsored by Midmark. The sixth AED was donated to Tommy and Amber York to be used for the

youth baseball/softball program at Centerville, Ind. The York’s recently held a bake sale to raise money in Dylan’s honor. “When someone donates to Dylan’s memory and the cause of the foundation, we try to give something back if we possibly can,” Erick Williams told The Early Bird. Along with presenting the AEDs Wednesday evening, Troy Pflugner, an AED specialist from the device manufacturer Cardiac Science, went through a step-by-step of how to properly use the AED. “This is a life-saving device that hopefully you will never have to use,” Pflugner told everyone in attendance at Wednesday’s presentation. According to the American Heart Association, if an AED is available a patient has a 90 percent chance at survival if used within the first minute of a cardiac arrest. Survival rate decreases by up to 10 percent each minute after that. With nearly 900 cardiac arrest related deaths per day, tragically over 60 percent of Americans have never even seen an AED device, let alone know how to use one. With these statistics and the evident noneducated part of society, the Dylan Williams For-

ever an All-Star Foundation will continue to raise money to donate as many of these life-saving devices as possible and to educate the importance of knowing what to do in case of an emergency situation such as the Williams’ experienced on July 16, 2013. Tickets for help in raising money are currently being sold for the Nov. 9 BBQ Chicken & Pork Chop Fundraiser at The Corner Cupboard and Christian Bookstore in Union City, Ind. The fundraiser is in of honor of what would have been Dylan’s 10th birthday on Nov. 3, 2014. “Team Dylan” members will once again participate in the annual “Bolt for the Heart 5K” in Carmel, Ind. on Thanksgiving Day. You can learn more and signup at www.boltfortheheart.com. The Dylan Williams Forever an All-Star Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization and any donations can be made to Citizens State Bank c/o Dylan Williams Forever An All Star, P.O.

Pheasant Hunt for Veterans scheduled NEWPORT – Darke County Pheasants Forever will be hosting the fourth annual veteran’s pheasant hunt on Nov. 9. This will be an excellent event for veterans to enjoy a pheasant hunt, outdoor demonstrations, clay bird shooting, and other outdoor activities. The purpose of the Veteran’s Pheasant Hunt is to give military veterans the opportunity to enjoy a guided pheasant hunt and to understand Pheasants Forever’s mission to promote wildlife habitat conservation. This hunt is Pheasants Forever’s way of thanking all veteran’s for their service to our country. The hunt will be held at Deer Run - Rob and

Anne Klamar’s property, which is located at 5252 Stoker Rd. (about 2 miles southeast of Newport), Shelby County. All hunters will need to have valid Ohio hunting license the day of the hunt. Hunting licenses will NOT be sold at the hunt. The hunt is for veterans; however, other family members and friends can attend to participate in other outdoor activities. Interested applicants must register by Oct. 23. Registration packets can be picked up at Ace Hardware in Greenville during business hours. This application packet can also be printed from the Darke County Pheasants Forever website http://darke.pheasantsforever.org.

The Pick 6 week 10 preview DARKE COUNTY – This is it sports fans... The ﬁnal week of the regular season is here. With a couple of teams with chances to grab a playoff spot following week 8 play, the stakes are high for a big win. Greenville has been on a roll since star QB Clay Guillozet return against Troy in week 7. The Wave will head to Sidney to try and keep the Little Brown Jug secured after their win against the Jackets last season at home. Versailles, who dropped to number seven in state ranking following a shutout at the hands of Coldwater in week 8, will head to Fort Recovery for tough end of season MAC conference battle. In the CCC, no Darke County teams are in

contention for the conference title, though Arcanum looks to end the season with a win at home as they take on the Bees from Bethel High School. Ansonia welcomes Covington to Tiger Stadium for week 10. The Buccs are a different team since their consecutive undefeated seasons. The Tigers will need to play the best to get the win. In the Cross County Conference game of the week, Twin Valley South host Miami East for a season ending showdown and possible conference title match, pending TVS vs TCN results in week 9. The TriCounty North look to ﬁnish off a great season on the road against another Preble County team, National Trail.

Cox takes another ﬁrst at talent show

Retired Commissioner Terry Haworth is named 2014 Darke County Republican of the Year. (Bob Robinson photo)

Haworth is Darke County Republican of the Year GREENV I L L E – He’s a member of Kiwanis, worked the BOB ROBINSON Pig Roast Associate Editor for years, bluebagmedia.com the fair tent, helps out with Downtown Greenville, the Office of Economic Development, Central Committee Chair… and served as Darke County Commissioner for five consecutive terms. The list of accomplishments was long; many of those attending had already figured out the 10th Republican of the Year Oct. 19. His 20 years of service as Darke County Commissioner confirmed it. U.S. Senator Rob Portman announced Terry Haworth as the 2014 Darke County Republican of the Year. Haworth retired nearly four years ago, with Commissioner Mike Stegall elected to take his seat. Stegall was one of nearly a dozen elected officials – including U.S. Congressman John Boehner and Ohio Gov. John Kasich – congratulating him for his years of service. Boehner and Kasich offered their congratulations through letters; the others did so in person.

Portman was the central speaker of the 2014 Darke County Pig Roast held at the Youth Building in the Darke County Fairgrounds. Portman talked about his (“the Republican”) philosophy of a “hand up” rather than a “hand out.” He talked as well about his background… ancestors who built their one-room log cabin in 1804 in the area now known as West Milton. They prospered from there thanks to a country which provides opportunity to all willing to work. “Even though we’ve been blessed in our country, we’re in trouble today,” Portman said. “Washington is dysfunctional, broken.” The Ohio Senator noted he isn’t up for re-election, but has spent his time in other states offering his support to Republican candidates for the Senate. “I’m devoting myself to getting a Republican majority in the Senate… and ﬁring Harry Reid.” The comment was greeted with applause. He talked also about the job Kasich has done, starting with an $8 billion deﬁcit. “(Gov.) Strickland was going to raise taxes to deal with it. Kasich did it with-

out raising taxes… just a minute…” He stopped until the applause died down. “Not only did he not raise taxes, he cut taxes!” Also speaking to approximately 200 people were the two Ohio Supreme Court candidates, Sharon Kennedy and Judi French. Kennedy thanked Darke County for its 80 percent vote in the last election for a “candidate with a liberal sounding name.” French noted the top 10 questions she’d been asked the last four years, such as “Are you tall enough to be a Supreme Court justice, old enough, mean enough… are there any other justices as good looking as you?” And more. One of her favorites was “If I go to jail, will you get me out?” She didn’t answer that. Also speaking to the group were Ohio Republican Party Chairman Matt Borgas, Attorney General Mike DeWine, Ohio Senate President Keith Faber, State Auditor Dave Yost, Ohio Senator Bill Beagle, State Rep. Jim Buchy, Retiring State Rep. Richard Adams, Judicial candidate Robert Vaughn and State Board of Education candidate Mary Pritchard.

GREENVILLE – St. Mary’s S c h o o l eighth grader Chloe BOB ROBINSON Cox took top Associate Editor honors at bluebagmedia.com Greenville’s Got Talent Oct. 18 for the second year in a row. She was excited. “I really didn’t think I’d win this year,” she said. “I heard Taylor (Bowers) belt out those high notes and thought, wow!” Chloe’s concern was legitimate as Taylor took second place in the contest. Chloe won with her rendition of “Last Love Song” by ZZ Ward. Taylor’s entry was “How Great Thou Art,” a hymn by Stuart K. Hine. Tied for third place were Noah McCabe with “My Lighthouse” by Rend Collective Experiment and Lyssa Middlestetter with “For the First Time & Forever” from the Disney soundtrack of the movie “Frozen.” Chloe said she’d been singing since she was ﬁve, and started performing at the age of eight. The 13year-old’s most recent local performance was the summer Children’s Theater Group, sponsored by Darke County Center for the Arts. She has performed at a Cincinnati Convention in front of 2,000 people. And she participated in the Dayton Talent Show, in front of more than 2,000 people. Chloe didn’t win. “I was disappointed,” she said. “But it was good competition.” Chloe will be graduating from St. Mary’s this spring and heading to Greenville High School in the fall. “I have 11 in my class now,” she noted. “Next year at the high

Caleb Custer was the host and stage manager; Doug Cole did sound, and the judges were JR Price, Chelsea Whirledge and Dave Torrence. Following the performances, a name was drawn for a Corvette. Tickets had been sold throughout the summer and the winner, Doug Toms, was not at Memorial Hall. A few groans could be heard from the audience.

Darke County Students achieve R.E.A.L. Success GREENVILLE – Students from around the county converged RYAN BERRY on Romer’s Managing Editor Catering bluebagmedia.com on Oct. 21 for the R.E.A.L. (Raising Expectations for All Learners) Success Luncheon. This annual event

recognizes the achievements of special education students who have scored in the advanced or excellent range on the Ohio Achievement Assessments. This was one of the largest turnouts for the awards ceremony with nearly 210 persons in attendance. Darke County Educational Service Center Superintendent Mike

Gray thanked the teachers, parents and grandparents for their help in preparing the students for the assessments. He also thanked the students for their hard work and dedication. Former Mississinawa Valley Superintendent Dr. Lisa Wendel was the guest speaker for the day and read from the Dr. Seuss

classic The Sneetches and shared how the Star Belly Sneetches had superior attitudes because they had stars upon their bellies. The Plain Belly Sneetches did not have stars and were thought to be inferior. Dr. Wendel said she has seen the world from both sides. She pointed out she had two children that would

be Star Belly Sneetches and schoolwork came easy to them. She also had one child that was a Plain Belly Sneetch. She and that child invested more time and energy into everything they did to be successful. She said she understands the hard work these students being honored put in to achieve this level of success. She

also recognized the parents because she understands the challenge they had to help the students. Wendel believes these students can make a difference because, unlike some of the Star Belly Sneetches, they have been working hard all their lives to be successful. She said, “Your disability may be your biggest asset.”

DCVB earns two RUBY awards Versailles Middle GREENVILLE – The Darke County Visitors Bureau was presented with two RUBY (Recognizing Uncommon Brilliance) Citations of Excellence Awards during the Ohio Travel Association’s annual Conference on Tourism in Springﬁeld on Oct. 16. The ﬁrst award presented to the bureau was in the Visitor Guide Category, with a budget of less than $300,000. “It is an honor to receive this recognition from The Ohio Travel Association,” stated Deanna York, designer of the guide and executive director of the Darke County Visitors Bureau. “Even though our yearly budget is less than half of our peers in this

category, this recognition confirms that Darke County has a tourism draw due to the heritage, nature and culture of this area.” “The Official Visitors Guide for Darke County was designed to resemble the look and feel of a lifestyle magazine,” stated York, “When developing the layout and feel of the guide, one of the main ideas was to share the warm hospitality and smiling faces found in our community.” The Official Visitors Guide for Darke County is on display and available at tourist information centers, attractions, accommodations and restaurants across the State of Ohio. Local folks are encouraged to stop by the

DCCA hosts unique Halloween at Montage Darke County Center for the Arts will host “A Taste of Wine and Zydeco” at Montage Cafe in downtown Greenville on Halloween, Friday, October 31. This fund-raising party will feature the music of zydeco legend Terrance Simien and his band “The Zydeco Experience.” Montage proprietors Aaron and Michele Cox have planned a “spooky” menu of hors d’oeuvres to accompany the two wines and two beers that will be featured during the event. “It’s always a party when Terrance Simien performs, and Montage is known for it’s delicious food, friendly atmosphere, and exciting vibe, so ‘A Taste of Wine and Zydeco’ will be an incredibly special, memorable event,” said Andrea Jordan, DCCA Executive Director. The indigenous music of Southern Louisiana Creoles, zydeco

music fuses elements from many cultures to create a New Orleansbased roots genre that is currently enjoying an exciting period of growth and popularity. According to DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins, Terrance Simien is at the forefront of the movement, as indicated by his presence at the prestigious New Orleans Jazz Festival for 28 consecutive years. Cox Insurance and James and Julia Poeppleman are sponsoring this performance by Terrance Simien and the Zydeco Experience. Tickets to “A Taste of Wine and Zydeco” are $35 each, and are available at Montage and at DCCA’s ofﬁce inside Greenville Public Library as well as on-line at www.centerforarts.net. The party starts at 6:30 p.m. For more information, contact DCCA at 937547-0908 or dcca@ centerforarts.net.

Flynn coming to The Coffee Pot GREENVILLE – Darke County Center for the Arts will present singer/ songwriter/guitarist John Flynn at The Coffee Pot in Greenville on Nov. 6. The second of DCCA’s Coffeehouse Series presentations, the show begins at 7 p.m. “Known as ‘a troubadour of justice, mercy and hope,’ John addresses the times we live in through his songs,” said DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins. “Those who remember the coffeehouses of the 1960s and ‘70’s will love this show; those who missed out on that era when meaningful and sometimes humorous songs were all the rage can get an idea of the passion and joy generated by music that speaks deeply to the heart and the spirit,” Rawlins stated. John Flynn’s signiﬁcant body of work includes funny songs, story

songs, love songs, and music for kids in addition to his songs of social justice and meditations on loss, tolerance, faith and hope. “Every song I write always feels like my ﬁrst,” Flynn says. “I guess that’s why I love it so much; each song challenges you to seek and see new possibilities. After all these years, I feel like I’m just getting warmed up,” he concluded. Legendary singer/songwriter Kris Kristofferson describes his friend John Flynn as “one of a special breed of good-hearted artists whose reaction to the human condition ﬁnds kind, humorous expression” in the songs that he writes “with an eye for powerful imagery and anything funny.” DCCA’s Coffeehouse Series offers shows in casual social settings where food and drink are avail-
