Fire rips through Swine Barn – called ‘total loss’ RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE - Shortly after 9 p.m. on Thursday, fire crews were called to the Darke County Fairgrounds on the report of a fire. The crews found the Swine Barn fully engulfed, which quickly turned into a three-alarm fire. Fire departments from across the county quickly joined the City of Greenville and Greenville Township in an effort to bring the fire under control and protect other nearby buildings, including the new Beef & Dairy Barn. City of Greenville Fire Chief Russ Thompson said the call came in around 9:15 p.m. “We initially went to a second alarm and a third. And then we went a little bit further than that without going to a fourth (alarm).

Eight Darke County departments from around the county were on the scene, in addition to a ladder truck from Piqua and a unit from Burkettsville. Ansonia and Union City covered Greenville’s jurisdiction during the ﬁre. With other buildings within a few feet of the Swine Barn, Chief Thompson said his main concern was the other buildings and crews immediately began to protect the new Dairy & Beef Barn, Cattle Show Arena and Poultry Barn. All of the nearby buildings showed signs of smoke damage on the outside, but were intact. The barn, according to Darke County Fair Board President Dean Neff, was “secure and closed up tight” when the Secretary’s ofﬁce closed at 4:30 p.m. Neff called the barn a “total loss” and said the roof

Former county facility now Michaels Group Home SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – The former Darke County Home became Michaels Group Home this past week, when 10 juvenile males moved in to one wing of the facility on Monday. Last fall, county commissioners announced plans to close the county home, sending residents to reside with family or in other approved group homes. In June of this year, after learning the Tri-County Board of Mental Health was no longer interested in purchasing the county home, commissioners decided to put the facility to use by offering it to the Michaels Home juvenile program. According to Robin Blinn, county clerk, maintenance personnel spent between $2,000-$3,000 updating and renovating one wing to meet state code. Gracie Overholser, director of Job and Family Services, which oversees the Michaels Home program, said the state required the installation of a single use shower. “The cost was not astronomical,” Overholser said of the project. “We only made some small modiﬁcations, general cleaning and weeding.” The work was done by county personnel, she said. The move from the former location to the county home “was essential for space,” for Michaels Home, Overholser explained, noting “the potential it gives us to increase.” In June, commissioners said the facility would give the group home space to house between 35-40.

As of now, there are 13 employees at Michaels Home, which requires staffing 24/7. The Michaels Group Home serves male juveniles ages 12-17 who have been placed into the custody of Children’s Services. Occasionally, a juvenile may be placed into the program through the court system, Overholser said. Of the 10 now residing at Michaels Home, nine are attending Greenville City Schools, with one enrolled in the ACES Gateway Youth education program. “Two are in the ROTC program,” at GHS, Overholser said, with two others involved in the school’s sports programs. Overholser said the move was positive for the teens. “They like having their own rooms. They like the space and like being outdoors,” she said. Not all of the residents are from Darke County. Several other surrounding counties rely on the Michaels Home program – and pay for its services – as do the families who are able. Commissioners also announced this past summer they are looking to turn the former Michaels Home into a program for juvenile girls. Overholser called the plan “the ultimate goal. It’s a long-term goal.” Commissioner Mike Rhoades said this week the former Michaels Home will be winterized for now, with plans to look at the conversion at a later date. Also, plans call for the Council on Rural Services’ ACES Gateway Youth program to move to the remaining wing of the former county home, Overholser said, following Christmas break.

had collapsed from one end of the barn to the other. When daylight broke on Friday morning, it was evident that all of the walls had collapsed and only a concrete wall around the base of the building remained. “This time of year the building is used for storage,” said Neff. According to the fair ofﬁce, 11 pieces of equipment were being stored and they were a mixture of vehicles, tractors and campers. Chief Thompson said the investigation continues, but the cause of the ﬁre remains undetermined at this point.

Sheriff to cut at least $500,000 from 2019 budget SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – Sheriff Toby Spencer conﬁrmed Monday he will be cutting between $500,000 and $600,000 from his department’s budget for 2019. Earlier this month, Darke County Commissioners announced they had been meeting with various county departments to revisit budget requests for next year. In July, commissioners were presented the proposed 2019 general fund budget from county auditor Carol Ginn, reﬂecting appropriations totaling $21,946,230.57 – a more than $1,000,000 shortfall due to the county’s loss of approximately $800,000 caused by the elimination of Medicare and Medicaid sales taxes. The sheriff’s department will be submitting their new appropriations request to commissioners sometime in the next two weeks, Spencer said. “We’re researching all the different avenues

about what we’re going to have to do. We’re trying to make it as feasible as possible,” Spencer said. “The union has graciously extended the contract without negotiating for raises for another year. That’s a tremendous help for the county. Not sure if that’s going to save jobs,” Spencer noted. Currently, the Darke County Sheriff’s Office employs 16 road deputies, 18 corrections officers, two drug detectives and five general assignment detectives. “We may lose some detective positions,” Spencer said. “And I’m short three corrections staff now. I really need to fill those because those three create a lot of overtime. We may have to fill those three positions with existing staff, with road patrol, which will deplete my road patrol.” Spencer also said detective positions may be put on road patrol. “It all flows downhill, so to speak, from one division to the next,” Spencer said of reassigning personnel. Cutting detective positions will put a limit on drug enforcement, he add-

ed. “It’s not a good scenario at this time,” when most crimes can be attributed to drug activity. The sheriff’s ofﬁce currently has some part time positions, which may be cut, Spencer said, “so full time employees can maintain their jobs.” The Darke County Sheriff’s Patrol also may be used more often. “But there’s only so much they can do,” Spencer said. “Most of them work full time jobs elsewhere. There might be some things I can ask them to do.” Those interested in joining the patrol may call the sheriff’s ofﬁce at 548-2020

for information. Upgrades at the county’s 911 Dispatch Center “are continuing,” Spencer explained. “It was already in the works and coming out of a different fund. But it is impacting personnel we were anticipating hiring.” Current dispatchers will continue to work 10-12 hour shifts, Spencer said. Spencer is hoping “things will be a little bit better than what they (commission) are painting the picture to be. I certainly don’t want to cut services to the citizens of Darke County.”

Couple ﬁnds bullet – urges shooters to use caution LINDA MOODY

CORRESPONDENT

ANSONIA – A rural Ansonia couple, who asked to remain anonymous, urges those who are hunting with guns or just shooting them off, to be more careful. They found where a bullet struck the window of their garage at the north end of their house recently. The couple lives south of Ansonia. The bullet remains lodged between the outside window and the storm window inside of the garage along with broken glass. “Someone could have gotten hurt,” said the wife. “I had been working in my garage and cleaning

out my car and, if I’d been there when it happened, I would have been hit. And, our neighbors have four children, who could possibly have gotten hurt.” She said she noticed the broken window on Oct. 10, but said it could have happened within a week or two before that. The Darke County Sheriff’s Department came to the scene, but was unable to ﬁnd anything and was unable to do anything about it, even though the deputy said he had never seen anything like it before, with the bullet still being there. No one knows for sure from where the weapon was shot but she said that a pistol with stray bullets

can go a distance. “We couldn’t ﬁnd any more bullets... it was like

the bullet was at the end of its trajectory,” she said.

The officer ran Stinson’s name through LEADS and it was found he had an active warrant for failure to appear on a traffic violation through the Darke County Municipal Court. He also had an active warrant from Montgomery County for non-support of dependents. Stinson was warned

On Oct. 18 an officer was called to the 400 block of East Fourth Street to assist adult parole, who had learned parolee Ernest Martinez reportedly had known drug violators living with him. Officers located three people in the basement of the home, including Lakeisha Wilson. Officers located a used syringe and 14 unknown pills in Wilson’s purse. She admitted to using the syringe for cocaine and that she would test positive for the drug if tested. Officers also found a marijuana pipe, but it was unclear who it belonged to. Martinez was issued a parole violation for having known offenders living with him. He was transported to the Darke County Jail, where he was held with no bond. Wilson was issued a citation for possession of a drug abuse instrument. On Oct. 18 an officer observed Jerry Blanken driving his vehicle while under suspension. The officer conducted a traffic stop and upon approaching the vehicle, could smell a strong odor of marijuana. Blanken had two female passengers in the car. He

told the officer there was no marijuana in the vehicle, that it always smelled like that and officers would be wasting their time to conduct a search. Blanken and his passengers were asked to exit the vehicle. Officers conducted a search and found a brown bag under the front passenger’s seat that contained raw marijuana. A set of digital scales also was found along with another container of raw marijuana in the vehicle’s center console. In total, the marijuana weighed 11.3 grams. Blanken was issued a citation for DUS and possession of marijuana. OVERDOSE

On Oct. 22 an officer was called to Wayne HealthCare on the report of an overdose. Upon arrival, the officer found hospital staff was attempting to to restrain Jacob Quinn to a bed in the hallway. Quinn was combative and would not listen to hospital staff. Eventually he was restrained and moved to a room in the emergency department. While assisting the hospital staff, the officer found an empty syringe, three empty gel caps and a makeshift marijuana pipe and a butane lighter. The officer informed Quinn of his immunity rights and disposed of the syringe. WANTED PERSON

On Oct. 18 an officer conducted a traffic stop for a brake light violation. Officers found Austin Schwartz, who was a passenger in the vehicle and was known to have

an active warrant for a failure to appear on an original charge of possession of an abuse instrument. Schwartz was asked to exit the vehicle. He was searched then transported to the Darke County Jail and held with a bond of $775. On Oct. 19 an officer was called to assist another officer on the report of an overdose in an alley on Boston Street. The subject, Kayeann Pingel had overdosed and regained consciousness. Officers learned Pingel had an active warrant in Montgomery County for a probation violation on the original charge of aggravated possession. Pingel was transported to Wayne HealthCare for treatment. After she was released by medical personnel, she was transported to the Darke County Jail for housing until Montgomery County could pick her up. DISORDERLY ORDERL ORDERLY

On Oct. 21 officers responded to the report of approximately 12 people reportedly involved in a fight in the 400 block of North Gray Street. Upon arrival, a neighbor complained he could hear the altercation from inside his house and when he looked outside, he saw defendant Joshua Willis hit another unknown male. The fight was then broken up until police arrived. After speaking with the complainant, officers learned the fight originated between Willis and his girlfriend. Officers

then spoke with the girlfriend, who said she was going to collect some items and leave for the night. When she went back inside the residence, officers could hear her arguing with Willis, and heard him say he wanted to speak with police. When Willis came to the door he had slurred speech, bloodshot eyes and a strong odor of marijuana and alcohol. Willis told the officers nothing was going on and then he went back inside the house and began arguing with his girlfriend again. The argument spilled outside and the two continued to call each other names as the female got into a vehicle to leave. Officers warned Willis about his verbal conduct and when he continued, he was cited for disorderly conduct after being previously warned by an officer. He was released to the custody of friends.

GREENVILLE – Steven Hawk, 38, of Richmond, Ind., appeared in court Monday, Oct. 22, to enter a change of plea on one count of possession of drugs, a fifth degree felony. Hawk entered a guilty plea to an amended charge of attempted possession following an incident that occurred July 26. The amended charge is a first degree misdemeanor. The prosecutor’s of office, said Jim Bennett, assistant prosecutor, took into consideration the fact Hawk has an impending job offer in Richmond, when determining the amended sentence. Randall Breaden, Hawk’s attorney, told Judge Jonathan P. Hein his client was offered meth after telling a coworker he was having dif difficulty sleeping. “The individual gave him meth,” Breaden said, which made Hawk very ill. “He pulled into the New Madison Rescue Squad’s lot.” Currently employed by a temporary job service, Hawk said he has the opportunity for a better position “pre-offered” to him, pending the outcome of additional drug testing, Breaden said, adding the fact that since the company does work for the

government, Hawk cannot have a felony on his record during the past 10 years. Hein took the situation into consideration and ordered a 45-day jail sentence with two days credit. “That’s 43 days suspended,” Hein told Hawk, admonishing the defendant to keep clean and follow community control sanctions, which will include 45 hours community service. * Also appearing in court Monday was Jason Sheeders, 44, of Greenville, who admitted to violating conditions of parole on the original charge of domestic violence. Sheeders failed to complete the MonDay rehabilitation program, telling Hein he didn’t believe “being in a place like that” was helping him. Sheeders called the program childish, describing some of the rehab exercises, which included coloring. “That’s preschool,” Sheeders said. Breaden also told Hein his client had been dealing with issues including “with punks down there” at the MonDay program. “You gotta be smarter than that,” Hein told Sheeders about letting younger people get the best of him. Hein also described the act of domestic violence Sheeders

committed that put him on community control to begin with. “That’s stupid,” Hein said of the abuse Sheeders’ victim experienced, then sentenced the defendant to 21 additional days in jail. * Bronson Fisher, 34, of Piqua, also appeared for non-compliance of community control sanctions for an original charge of trafﬁcking cocaine. According to court records, Fisher failed to report, failed to complete Recovery & Wellness and

failed a drug test, testing positive for cocaine. According to Breaden, his client fell into drugs while living at his grandmother’s home. The grandmother, Breaden said, allowed Fisher’s mother, a drug addict back to live at the residence. Hein ordered Fisher to continue with community sanctions, ﬁnd another place to reside, and to stay away from his mother.

eral Health District is encouraging people to get vaccinated. Hepatitis A is a vaccine-preventable liver disease that usually spreads when a person ingests fecal matterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;even in small amountsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from contact with objects, food, or drinks contaminated by the stool of an infected person. Hepatitis A also can spread from close personal contact with an infected person, such as through sex. Symptoms of Hepatitis A include fatigue, low appetite, stomach pain, nausea, light-colored stools and jaundice. Most people who get Hepatitis A feel sick for several months, but they usually recover completely and do not have lasting liver damage. Sometimes Hepatitis A can cause liver failure and death, although this is rare and occurs more commonly in people older than 50 and people with other liver diseases. Who is at greater risk for Hepatitis A? * People who use street drugs whether they are injected or not * People who are incarcerated * People experiencing homelessness * Men who have sex with men * People with direct contact with individuals infected with the virus * People who have traveled to other areas of the U.S. currently experiencing outbreaks Public Health is also urging restaurant owners to encourage their employees to receive a Hepatitis A vaccination. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prevention is important and the best way to prevent Hepatitis A is to get vaccinated. Proper and frequent hand washing is also important to control the spread of disease,â&#x20AC;? said Emily Hoisington BSN, RN, Infectious Disease Nurse. Individuals who are concerned about Hepatitis A should contact their doctor, healthcare provider, pharmacy or Public Health.

Vote for Democrats

Today, what used to be the Republican Party is now the Trump Party and Donald Trump is leading this nation down a road to devastation. Beyond the shadow of a doubt by his own words and actions, Trump is a narcissist, a bigot, a pathological liar (which indicates a lack of moral conscience), morally indecent and ignorant of this nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, values and laws. He is arrogantly egotistical, has excessive need for admiration, interested only in himself, incapable of accepting responsibility for any mistake, callously misuses others, lacks any understanding of othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; feelings, has no respect for women outside of his family and has no appreciation for our veterans or soldiers who have served or died for our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ideals. He believes many members of the KKK, neo-Nazis, and dictators are â&#x20AC;&#x153;ďŹ ne peopleâ&#x20AC;? although our country lost 408,306 men killed in World War II ďŹ ghting against authoritarian dictators and nationalism, 54,246 men killed in Korea and 58,219 men killed in Vietnam ďŹ ghting against communism and 363,020 men killed in the Civil War ďŹ ghting against the Confederacy and all for which it stood. Our national debt to other countries is growing completely unrestricted while our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wealthiest individuals are becoming opulently rich, yet typical families need to have two people working and some with two jobs to provide for modest needs of the family. Many of these â&#x20AC;&#x153;averageâ&#x20AC;? families do not have adequate insurance for healthcare or natural disaster losses. Trump has appointed many criminals to high government positions. Many of these criminal ofďŹ cials have been tried and convicted. He continually discredits our free press, the FBI, and the CIA while publicly admiring autocracies or oligarchies around the world. What kind of President do we have? What kind of an example is he setting for our children and generations to come? A Friend wrote this letter and gave me permission to use in my name. Respectfully, Isabel Culbertson, Greenville

I Stand for America

Our representatives in the State House stole our vote by legislating the marijuana law that we voted down and now the current laws donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apply. This is the reason for Issue 1. If passed this will cause more criminal activity from those being overdosed and they are only charged with a misdemeanor three times ruining three families before they face a felony. After 48 years of being controlled by the Dems, our country has been failing and we were put into shackles during the last White House administration. Thank you President Trump for unlocking them. The Dems have been divisive for many years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; using democrats and a direct democracy processing, using whites, blacks and refugees for their goal (one world government). Those that represent this type of behavior are supporting and have caused many deaths in the world than any past wars. When the Dems lose they develop crocodile tearsâ&#x20AC;Śfurthermore a direct democracy is the lack of morality, unbroken line of descent, mob ruling and is illegitimate in America, whereas, an indirect democracy is established laws in our U.S. Constitution. In a country you are a born citizen only through youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re descendants and crossing borders into another country to live, you take a literacy test. If you pass and reside in that country you obtain ďŹ rst papers (citizenship papers), then you have earned your place in that country. Our forefathers fought and died for our freedom and because of that event we are natural born citizensâ&#x20AC;Śfree bornâ&#x20AC;Śin freedom. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keep that freedom by un-electing the Dems and help President Trump qualify our refugees as they can live free. We in America have a Republic form of governmentâ&#x20AC;Śnot a democratic government. I stand for American and voting rightâ&#x20AC;Śbecause I do not want to be left without a country.

What do you mean 4-H isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all about cows and cooking? Yes! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true the 4-H program has evolved since its humble beginnings and now offers youth projects and programs in many different interest areas. One of the areas we have seen a signiďŹ cant increase of interest recently is in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) area. Traditionally this has been a focus on agricultural science, mechanics, and natural sciences, but today 4-H has grown and now includes alternative and renewable energy, computer science, robotics, rocketry and more. Through hands on learning experiences 4-H encourages youth to learn about the world around them with partnerships with experts in STEM. Because our lives are constantly and completely immersed in the world of science and technology it is important for the next generation of True Leaders to understand how science, technology, engineering, and mathematics impact

tive of his moral stature and predictable detriment to the ofďŹ ce of his eventual appointment. I believe many voters felt varying degrees of dissatisfaction in either 2016 Presidential candidate. The Democratic Party was grossly negligent in selecting their candidate knowing the contempt many voters felt toward Hillary Clinton. The Republican Party is also blameful for supporting a person of Mr. Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historical behaviors, attitudes, and monetary failures. Thus, creating the evolvement of the disturbing environment and political climate we now ďŹ nd ourselves involved.

Versailles Lady Tigers dominate to advance in tournament play GAYLEN BLOSSER

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

BROOKVILLE – The Versailles Lady Tigers advanced in OHSAA DIII tournament play dominating the Northeastern Lady Jets 3-0 in Thursday night volleyball action. “Our blocking was huge tonight,” said Versailles coach Kenzie Bruggeman. “That slowed the ball down and we were able to get into our offense which is one of our biggest threats.” Versailles jumped out to a 6-0 lead behind the

serving of Alexa Didier and never looked back on their way to a 25-11 first set win. “We definitely wanted to focus on serving tonight,” Bruggeman stated. “We told Lex, our first server that we wanted her to get at least three, anything above that is positive and she started off with a 6-0 run. You can’t ask for anything better than that.” Set No. 2 had the Lady Tigers opening with an 8-0 advantage with Liz Ording at the line. A 16-4 Versailles lead brought a timeout from the Northeastern bench only to have the Lady Tigers continue to roll closing out the set on a 9-3 run to go up two

game to none with a 25-7 win. “It’s huge,” Bruggeman said of the second set opening scoring run. “That came from our next server, that wasn’t even Lex so it’s really big when we can execute on serve receive and then on top of that, once we execute in serve receive, getting those runs when we have people going back to the line.” Northeastern was able to keep the third set close with the score tied ﬁve times, the last coming at 12-12 before the Lady Tigers used a 7-0 run to go up 19-12 and put the ﬁnal set away by a 25-16 score and advance in tourna-

Muir breaks school receiving record BY CLINTON RANDALL CORRESPONDENT

ANSONIA – It’s not an easy task for any high school varsity receiver to break the 1,000-yard milestone, but Ansonia’s Hunter Muir was definitely up to the challenge and now holds the school’s all-time receiving yards record. Though an injury in his freshman year held him to just 73 yards, Muir gained 304-yards through the air as a sophomore and had an explosive 671-yard junior season...helping lead his team to their first playoff appearance since 2010. Entering last week’s game against Twin Valley South, the 6’4” senior was already over the 1,000-yard mark and had his eye on the nearly 30year-old school record of 1,179 total yards - set by Matt Voisard in 1991. “Hunter has been double-covered most of the year - opening up our run game and has become a great in-line tight end blocker for us since teams are taking him away,” said offensive coach and Ansonia Athletic Director Matt Macy. “It finally opened up last week against South and we took advantage on a great throw by Hunter Buckingham for a 40-yard touchdown.”

ment play. “I just told them we can’t be satisfied,” said Bruggeman. “Yes, we did well the first two games. We can’t be satisfied and let go off the gas pedal. We had to go back at them.” “We live and die by our serve receive and we weren’t dialing in on that, had a lot of missed serves, it was all first ball contacts so we dialed back into that,” Bruggeman added. “We knew what we had to rely on, our principals, and then once we kind of got that back in order – then it’s a different game.” Versailles got excellent play from the entire team including strong performances from Lindsey Winner, Liz Ording and Kelsey Custenborder. “She (Winner) is really starting to click, she is figuring out her swing and she knows how she can dominate the game,” said Bruggeman. “We try to get her involved in our offense as much as possible along with Liz (Ording) – really seasoned players who have been working their tails off.”

Muir stood at 1,209 total career yards after the 43-0 Homecoming game victory over the Panthers...giving him the new school record. “The record is great to have but it’s not what’s most important I’m just happy we’re winning,” Muir stated. “I have to thank our quarterback (Hunter Buckingham) and deﬁnitely the of offensive line and coaches...without them this wouldn’t be possible!” Longtime head coach Eugene Hoening, along with Coach Macy have helped develop a high-

powered offense in Ansonia - that has put 216 points on the scoreboard through eight games this season. “Hunter has been great for us going up and catching 50-50 balls using his basketball background. Hunter works hard and will be a great addition for a college team looking for a tall physical receiver,” added Coach Macy. Muir will look to add to his receiving record as he and his Tiger teammates head into the ﬁnal stretch of the regular season and most likely into the playoffs.

GREENVILLE – Lady Wave senior co-captains, Shelby Herrman and Brooke Stachler recently received GWOC volleyball honors. “I couldn’t have asked for better leaders in Brooke & Shelby,” said Greenville coach Michelle Hardesty. “While doing what they loved, they were teaching their teammates how to lead and how to win once they are gone. Their jersey and their shoes will be hard to ﬁll going forward but they did a good job helping their teammates to do that.” “Both lead by example on and off the court,” continued Hardesty. “Shelby was always one of the ﬁrst to arrive and made sure the net was up and ready to go. Brooke was the vocal one keeping everyone

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Lady Wave Basketball Program held its ‘A Night at the Races’ fundraiser to a packed house of Green Wave fans and supporters with the proceeds going to support the Greenville girls basketball program. “A Night at the Races is a really fun event that brings a lot of people together to have a good time and sup-

The annual event is the only fundraiser the Lady Wave Basketball program holds to support the growing program. “All proceeds from the event go directly to Lady Wave Program,” Kerns noted. “We have bought: new uniforms, travel gear, new warm up pants and tops, ball carts, and we pay for all summer expenses.” The program’s Shoot Out

The third game of the night had the Lady Trojans lead 4-2 early, their final lead of the night. Arcanum put up a good fight as the set would see six ties with the last coming at 15-15 with the Lady Vikings using a 10-4 run to advance in tournament play with a 25-19 set three win. “Our school hasn’t gotten to this point in many years,” said O’Dell. “I am very proud of my girls – just wish we would have come out with a win.” Three Lady Trojans seniors; Jenna Haney, Macey Hartman and Sadie Sink played their final volleyball match for the record setting Arcanum volleyball team. “Very proud of the season that we had,” concluded O’Dell. “I think we will be strong next year too – can’t wait.”

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Athletic Boosters have a new design for Wave athletic apparel thanks to the Greenville Senior High School Career Art Class and Sydney Crews. “We wanted to come up with an idea that was new to the booster apparel so we just tossed it around a little bit and decided we wanted to go to the art class, get everybody involved,” said Greenville Athletic Booster President Randall Bowman. “We went to the art director (Mrs. Melanie Huffman) for the senior class and she said yes – I’ll make an assignment, so they had to turn it around in 10 days and then this came out. We had probably about 15 of them to choose from and Sydney’s is the one we liked the best and that was the winner.” “Sydney has been in art class four years now,” said Huffman. “Sydney has an

fore I settled on that one. I just kept designing them – like that one’s not good enough, that one’s not good enough until I ﬁnally found that one – and I liked it better.” “Career Art, it’s like the ﬁnal step.” added Crews, “It’s the last art class the high school offers.” “Everybody needs to be involved, not just football and basketball, but everybody,” concluded Bowman. “It’s a student base that we need to work with and that is what we are trying to do.”

COVINGTON – The Franklin Monroe Lady Jets completed back-to-back record breaking 20 win seasons before falling to the Fort Loramie Lady Redskins in the D-IV Sectional SemiFinals. “I told the girls – I am so proud of you,” said Franklin Monroe Coach Angie Filbrun following the match. “We talked about not being disappointed in what we did – 20 wins two years in a row, pretty incredible.” The Lady Jets played close trailing 8-7 in the opening set before falling behind 1-0 with a 25-17 loss. “I watched them (Fort Loramie) play and I wasn’t quite ready for what they had tonight,” Filbrun said. “They played very well – I give them a lot of credit.” Loramie raced out to a 14-3 second set lead with the FM battling back to outscore the Lady Redskins 11-6 and close the gap to 20-14 before dropping the game 25-16. “Their offense was so quick and our middles just could not keep up,” said Filbrun. “We were playing defense all night and that is hard, that’s rough. It’s tough to play defense all night.” Set No. 3 had the Lady Jets trailing 13-5 before outscoring the Lady Redskins 10-7 and trail 20-15. Loramie would extend its lead at 22-15 bringing a timeout from the FM bench. The Lady Jets rebounded

to outscore Fort Loramie 5-3 to close out scoring on the night, losing the ﬁnal set by a 25-20 score with the Lady Redskins advancing in OHSAA tournament play. “Our goal after that last time out – I told the girls, we’re hitting 20 points,” said Filbrun, “and we did.” The Lady Redskins had the good fortune of an excessive number of serves grazing the net and dropping to the court for easy points on the night. “I have never seen that many and there is not a thing you can do about that,” stated Filbrun. “There is nothing you can do – there is nothing you can do.” FM fans turned out in large numbers, ﬁlling the stands on its side of the court for the OHSAA tournament match. “They were excited for us, they were there for us, they had our backs,” Filbrun said. “Good year – hard to see the seniors leave.”

Library Film Series does Hitchcock GREENVILLE – Alfred Hitchcock’s 1943 ﬁlm Shadow of a Doubt is a suspense classic that continues to unnerve audiences to this day. When Charles Oakley (Joseph Cotten) arrives at this sister’s home in California, the entire family is happy to see him, especially his niece and namesake, Charlie (Teresa Wright). But when two detectives show up in town looking for the Merry Widow Murderer, Charlie begins to suspect her uncle might not be the man she thinks he is. Co-written by Thornton Wilder (Our Town), the ﬁlm plays on the peculiarities of small towns and close families to weave a web of intrigue as tantalizing as it is troubling. Joseph Cotten is per-

fectly cast, projecting sinister suspicion one minute and affable charm the next, tugging poor Charlie’s loyalties in opposite directions as she learns more about his crimes. Teresa Wright does her own balancing act as Charlie, moving between fresh-faced innocence and shrewd scheming as she seeks to protect her naïve parents and younger siblings from the danger in their peaceful home. Join them on Tuesday, Nov. 6, at 6:30 p.m. at the Greenville Public Library, as they screen this classic thriller as part of GPL’s Third Floor Film Series. Free popcorn, candy, and soft drinks will be provided, and David Nilsen will lead a brief discussion after the ﬁlm.

Students learn to stop, drop and roll Grant to beneﬁt students, parents BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville Elementary students were treated to a visit by the city’s fire department this week. Firefighters spent time teaching fire safety in observance of Fire Prevention Month to students in kindergarten through second grade. “It there’s fire on you clothes, you stop, drop and roll,” said first-grader Cooper Kerg, 7. “I’ve been practicing.” Hoping they are never faced with having to stop, drop and roll for real, the elementary teachers understand the importance of taking time from regular classroom activities for students to learn fire safety. According to firstgrade teacher Shelby Peace, some time is spent in class reinforcing what the students learn during the fire department’s presentation. “We don’t want to dwell on it a lot, but we do want them to understand the importance of being safe,” Peace said Thursday as her class was winding up their afternoon with the fire department’s visit to the school.

Part of the fire department’s presentation includes teaching the young students how to help their family create a safety plan at home. Students learn the importance of home fire alarms and what to do when it goes off, the stop, drop and roll technique, and what to expect if a fireman comes to their home during a fire. “If there’s a fire in your house, you should feel the door and if it’s hot you wave a blanket or pillow out the window,” to attract attention, said Brynna Pratt, 7. Firefighters also

dressed up in full gear and demonstrated breathing through their tanks, to show students what it would look and sound like if a firefighter showed up, for example, while they were sleeping. Some students were invited to try on the equipment as well. “The biggest thing,” said Captain Daniel Myers of the Greenville Fire Department, “is we don’t want them to be afraid if we have to come to their house.” For more information about fire prevention in the home, check out the Greenville Fire Department’s website at www.cityofgreenville. org/2155/Fire-Prevention

BRADFORD – Bradford Elementary School received a federal grant with a consortium of two other schools, Milton Union and Northridge. The grant, according to Bradford Principal Michelle Lavey, is for two years. “We are implementing foundational skills for improved literacy through the use of Orton Gillingham a multisensory approach to reading skills and Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling (LETRS) to understand the development theories of reading,” Lavey said. “Another big component is to help get parents and teachers working together to work as a team approach to helping students in grades pre-K through ﬁfth grade

through Academic Parent Teacher Teams (APTT).” The purpose is to set goals for the students. An invitation was sent to homes indicating there would be an APTT meeting for K-5 on the evening of Oct. 16 for ﬁfth grade in the students’ respective classroom “to be a part of the team to help the child meet his/her fullest potential.” “Parents and kids came to eat a packed dinner during the meeting, with babysitting included,” Lavey said. “We started with ﬁfth-grade math facts in hopes that will help the kids stretch and improve and give them goals to set. Parents go to the meeting room of their oldest child.” Each grade level will have similar gatherings. According to the principal, there is a chance to win at IPad that will be drawn

at the last meeting on April 25. “So attend every meeting and get more entries,” she said. “You must be there to win.” The former Michelle Green taught kindergarten at Bradford for 25-years and is now in her second year as principal. “Bradford is my heart and passion,” she said.

Veterans Memorial Park Digital Library Talent Show will have special guest GREENVILLE – The Veterans Memorial Park and Digital Library is in its fourth year of their mission of developing a digital library, and establishing a booming social media presence “of veterans—for veterans.” By digitizing par-

what can be found online, and it will be different from all other memorials because our digital memorial will be veterans-centered. Other memorials or museums can contribute/link digitally to the library as well. For more on their plans and the Park’s history, visit them on Facebook and YouTube at Veterans Memorial Park and Digital Library. In the past years, they made signiﬁcant gains through a partnership with Interactive Media TV and Public Access Channel 5 at Greenville High School. This partnership is a windfall for both. They get access to a studio and equipment for their mission, and the high school students get practical exercise on producing relevant material. The students are inspired by the program. While they continue to develop partnerships with local media, other schools, OHIOLinks, and the Library of Congress to further expand their link with other veterans’ libraries, they strive to be the best practice for other high school and/or college media programs to emulate. Their fourth talent show, the Gong Talent Show IV is the day before Veteran’s Day on Nov. 10, 7 p.m., at VFW Post 7262, 219 N. Ohio St., Greenville. Talent acts from throughout the Miami Valley will compete for Best Overall Performance ($1000 prize), Most Original Act ($500 prize) which are selected by the judge panel, and People’s Choice Award ($500 prize) selected by online voting. Their celebrity judge panel consists of prominent veterans in the region and this year they highlight their past Greenville Alumni supporters including Chief Petty Ofﬁcer Kenton Stacy, who was severely wounded

and paralyzed in Syria last year. It is their “ﬁre” mission to raise awareness and support for Stacy and his family. Chief Stacy will join them via satellite from San Diego, CA. They will stream the entire show live on their Facebook page, and You Tube channel. Talent acts include singers, skits, a Marine birthday number and a Shakespearian actor. The night is a celebration and a time for all veterans regardless of

afﬁliation to come together as one for fun and camaraderie. Trippin Fish will perform before (6 p.m.), during, and after the show. Admission is a donation to #StacyStrong. You can also support them by being a talent show sponsor or volunteering to help in their veterans’ digital library mission in some way. If you should have any questions, contact them at (937) 542-0966 or gvmpdl@gmail.com.

Empowering Darke County Youth introduces new logo GREENVILLE – The Empowering Darke County Youth Board of Directors and volunteers are pleased to introduce a new logo for the organization. It was designed by Middle School (5-6) Visual Arts Educator Julie Brewer. “I can’t thank Julie enough for taking the time to help us out,” said Bob Robinson, Empowering Program Coordinator. “She didn’t charge us for the effort, but we made a small contribution toward whatever needs she had in her classroom as a thank you.” Mrs. Brewer expressed

her thanks, noting the funds will help purchase shelving for ceramic projects in her class. Robinson noted that the logo was perfect in its simplicity and versatility. “We can use it in a variety of venues, color or black and white. It also expresses visually exactly what we do in our organization.” Empowering has established two new committees and is inviting any interested members of the community to help support its efforts.

New Annie Oakley historical marker YORKSHIRE – “While at this spot, imagine the legendary Annie Oakley, ‘Little Sure Shot’, standing and gazing at her family’s graves.” This is the beginning of the wording of a new black granite marker at the Mendenhall Cemetery in Yorkshire. The marker features a photo of Annie and the listing of her father, Jacob Moses (Mosey); mother, Susan Shaw; and four of her siblings who are buried there. Joan Dowler, a greatgreat-great-grandniece, related that “Annie’s half sister, Emily, my greatgrandma, told my grandma, Bonnie Blakeley, to take care of the cemetery just as she had. They were also instructed to put the cemetery ﬂowers on the grave for Memorial Day.” Joan added that she went with her mom and grandma many times. “Mendenhall Cemetery was important to her family,” she said. The originator of the idea, Steve Meier, felt that Annie Oakley’s family’s

cemetery plots needed to be recognized and this part of the history of Yorkshire needed to be preserved. He, along with the Annie Oakley Center Foundation, donated the funds to pay for the stone, which Nickol Monument of Versailles generously contributed at cost. Gary Condon at Nickol donated his time and labor for the inscription. Nickol Monument has been a part of all the historical markers designating Annie’s birthplace and childhood home created in past years. Steve, with wife Karen’s support and encouragement, pursued his goal. Their friend, Kathy Bruns, began research online, starting with the smallest stone marker beside Annie’s father’s grave. Steve then followed up at the Garst Museum Research Center on the accurate dates for each of the family graves. Wording was reﬁned by the Annie Oakley Center Foundation members and Dr. Clay Johnson, Garst Museum director. Township trustees Steve Hoelscher, Steve Puthoff

On the left of the stone are Jeff Perry, Joan Dowler and Bonnie Perry, Annie’s relations. Behind the stone is Steve Meier, formerly of Yorkshire, and initiator of the idea. To the right of the stone are Ken Subler, Yorkshire mayor; Steve Puthoff and Sam Pohlman, township trustees; and Kathy Bruns, researcher.

and Sam Pohlman donated the site preparation and foundation work for the stone. Ken Subler, mayor of Yorkshire, and the town council and trustees have installed a new sign at the entrance of the cemetery acknowledging Annie’s family.

ing machines. Because residue collected on firefighters’ gear during a blaze can cause respiratory disease, cancer and other ailments, it is important not only to wear appropriate protective gear, but also to ensure it’s cleaned properly. “Firefighters are routinely placed in harm’s way while performing their job duties, because they are threatened by both acute injury and long-term health complications,” said Dr. Abe AlTarawneh, superintendent of BWC’s division of safety and hygiene. “Protecting them from harm keeps them healthy and on the job, and that means our communities are safer, too.” To date, BWC has awarded 496 grants totaling $5.1 million. 937-548-5035 866-645-8405

House candidates square off during LWV debate SUSAN HARTLEY

Commissioners Mike Stegall, Matt Aultman and Mike Rhoades presented the Republican of the Year award to John Keller. Keller was out-of-town, but his wife, Alice and son, John, accepted the award on his behalf.

Republican candidates visit hog roast; John Keller receives honor RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Darke County Republicans seem to be taking the mid-term elections seriously. That was the impression as an estimated 400 people filled the Youth Building at the Darke County Fairgrounds to hear nearly every local and statewide candidate speak at the annual Darke County Republican Hog Roast. Leading the charge for the Republicans was gubernatorial candidate Mike DeWine. “We have a great statewide ticket,” he said. “Here is what’s at stake. We can go back or we can move forward.” He explained that his opponent was part of the Ted Strickland era that had double digit unemployment, lost 400,000 jobs and they left office with 89-cents in the rainy day fund. He further stated that under Republican control, the rainy day fund is now over $2.7 billion. DeWine also touted record setting job growth. According to the Current Employment Statistics Survey, Ohio reached a high of 5,636,600 jobs in May 2000 and a low of 5,002,600 in February 2010. As of August, the state has gained 623,100 jobs to put it 10,900 jobs below its high in 2000. DeWine joined the Republican Party’s candidates in asking voters to vote against State Issue 1, the constitutional amendment he says would make Ohio favorable for drug traffickers by reducing penalties from felonies to misdemeanors and no prison time for persons found with 20 grams of fentanyl or other drugs. Several candidates

at the hog roast pointed out 20 grams of fentanyl is enough to kill 10,000 people. DeWine said he has a 12-point plan to deal with the drug issue and pointed to his website to view the entire plan. Senate candidate Jim Renacci was the only candidate on the statewide ballot not present for the hog roast. Contested candidates present for the event included Stephen Huffman for Ohio Senate 5th District; Jena Powell for Ohio House 80th District; Susan Manchester for Ohio House 84th District; Warren Davidson for U.S. House of Representatives Ohio 8th District; Mary DeGenaro for Ohio Supreme Court; Craig Baldwin for Ohio Supreme Court; Dave Yost for Attorney General; Keith Faber for Auditor; Frank LaRose for Secretary of State; and Charlotte McGuire for State Board of Education. In addition to hearing from the candidates, the Darke County Republicans named their Republican of the Year. This year’s honor went to John Keller. The proclamation presented by Commissioners Matt Aultman, Mike Rhoades and Mike Stegall stated, “The Darke County Republican Party has been very blessed in having a member like John Keller. He has been chosen for this award due to his dedication and great leadership qualities serving on various boards in Darke County.” Keller was instrumental in creating the Ohio’s Agricultural Commodity Handler Law in 1982. Entertainment and National Anthem for the event was provided by the students of Final Bow: Performing Arts Center.

GREENVILLE – Four candidates vying for Ohio House seats participated in the Darke County League of Women Voters’ debate Tuesday at the Greenville American Legion. Candidates included Republican Susan Manchester of Lakeview and Democrat Joseph Monbeck of Wapakoneta, running for seats in the 84th District, which includes portions of Darke, Shelby and Auglaize and all of Mercer counties, as well as Republican Jena Powell of Arcanum and DJ Byrnes of Piqua, running for a seat in the 80th District, which includes a portion of Darke County and all of Miami County. The League of Women Voters, a non-partisan organization, presented questions to candidates from the approximately 50 Darke County residents in attendance. Each candidate was given time to introduce themselves to the audience. “I can no longer remain on the sidelines,” said Byrnes, the ﬁrst candidate to speak. Byrnes said he was “here to show you a better world is possible and I’m here to ﬁght for it.” Powell said she could see how the community was “hurting” as a result of “increased growth of government” in both the lives and businesses of Ohioans. Manchester also touched on government interference. “The role of government works best when it trusts the power of the community,” and stated if elected her goal would be to “get government out of your way.”

Manchester’s opponent praised the role some government programs play in the lives of families. Explaining how he was one of three sons of a single mom, Monbeck said he “grew up with government assistance” and noted how his mother worked several jobs in order to get her family “out of the trailer park” and how she worked to help himself and his brothers to graduate from college. Questions submitted by audience members included how the candidates felt about President Donald Trump’s tariffs and how Darke County’s farmers would be affected. Powell reminded everyone she was “born and raised on a farm” and believed government should “get out of farming so they (farmers) can do what they do best.” Brynes said he looked at Trump’s tariffs as a “stab in the back for farmers who put him into ofﬁce” and called the tariff’s “wreckless.” He also said

he believed candidates and politicians “going against their own party” was “showing some spine. We need politicians willing to stand up to the president.” The current administration’s tariffs, Manchester said, were “based on China’s” recent actions. “The intended consequences have yet to be seen.” Monbeck said he sees tariffs as “pitting one group against another. I will do whatever it takes to work for the 84th District. It’s wrong making taxpayers pay for the president’s” decisions. Other questions dealt with their individual campaign funding, abortion rights, the loss of Medicare and Medicaid sales tax, Ohio’s right-to-work laws, restoring funding for Ohio’s public schools, gun control, and Ohio’s Medicaid Expansion put in place by Republican Governor John Kasich. Each candidate was asked what their priorities would be if voters send

them to Columbus. Powell, a local business owner, said her top priority was workforce development. “People having jobs and businesses having the workers they need,” she said. Brynes’ top priorities include “restoring funds to local government, help solve the healthcare crisis and advancing the agenda for the many, not the few” by removing special interests from politics. Manchester, who identiﬁes as “100 percent prolife and pro 2nd Amendment” said she would work to “lower taxes,” would propose “less spending” and work on a “step down” program for those on government assistance. Monbeck said he would “restore local funding back to local governments, work on workforce development,” which, he said he believes “is the best way to invest in healthcare, education and infrastructure,” including broadband Internet.

Jill Brown earns WHC’s Daisy Award RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – “Jill is the most wonderful and compassionate human being and RN that I have ever met in my entire life. Jill made sure my mom’s health was her main priority,” said Angie Godwin when she nominated Jill Brown, RN BSN OCN CBCN, for the most recent recipient of the Daisy Award. The award is made in partnership with the national DAISY Foundation, American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE) and Wayne HealthCare. According to WHC’s Kim Freeman, vice president of patient care services, the award is given to outstanding nurses in more than 2,000 health-care facilities in all 50 states and 15 countries. The number of awards presented is based on the size of the hospital. WHC has been allotted two awards each year. Freeman pointed out they received several nominations and it was a difﬁcult decision. Brown has been an on-

cology nurse for approximately 30 years and has been at Wayne HealthCare since 2008. She also currently serves as the Oncology Cancer Coordinator and works with all cancer patients. After three decades of serving people, Brown said she continues to come to work each day because of her patients, “They are inspiring.” Although she could have chosen any number of specialties as a nurse, Brown said she was drawn to oncology because of her grandmother’s diagnosis and eventual death to endometrial cancer. “It has been a passion, obviously, for a very long time,” she said. “They are very special patients and I work with some great nurses. We have some great chemo therapy nurses. I work with a great group of people.” As a DAISY Award recipient, Brown received a certiﬁcate, DAISY Award pin, and a hand-carved stone sculpture entitled A Healer’s Touch. The name of the DAISY Award winner is kept secret until the day of the presentation. The selection

committee is given copies of nomination forms with the names redacted and they only vote on the information provided by the nominators. The award winner must meet the following criteria: (DAISY) Dedicated to patient care and satisfaction; Attitude remains positive and demonstrates professionalism in the workplace; Interested in the needs of the patient and family; Stands for and demonstrates the caring ideals, mission and values of WHC; and Yearly evaluation is in good standing. The DAISY Award is given in remembrance of

Patrick Barnes who passed away in 1999 from an autoimmune disease. His family wanted him to be remembered and they chose to honor the nurses that took care of their loved one. Because cinnamon rolls were Barnes’ favorite during his illness, each award must be celebrated with cinnamon rolls. The cinnamon rolls are shared with everyone because nursing requires a team. If you would like to nominate an extraordinary nurse at WHC, ask for a nomination form the next time you’re at the hospital or contact Freeman at (937) 547-5719.

UNION CITY, Ind. – Before the school bell rang on Sept. 26, the Union City, Ind. Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) participated in the “National See You at the Pole” event. A crowd of over 80 students, staff and individuals from the community joined together to pray for the safety and unity of the Randolph Eastern schools as well as their community and country. The leaders of this FCA are Phil Lynch and Teri Sowinski. It was powerful to know that FCA huddles all across the nation were praying at the same time. The Greenville and Versailles FCA groups also had several students, staff and community members join together before school to pray for their communities.

Ohio Tractor Supply Company stores raise funds for 4-H Youth GREENVILLE – Ohio 4-H youth will experience valuable hands-on learning opportunities as a result of Tractor Supply’s 2018 Paper Clover Campaign, a biannual fundraiser held in partnership with National 4-H Council. Ohio Tractor Supply stores collectively raised $127,343 in 2018 through donations made with purchases in store and online. Earlier this month, Ohio Tractor Supply customers participated in the Fall Paper Clover event by purchasing paper clovers—the emblem of 4-H—

for a donation during checkout at stores nationwide or through purchases made online at TractorSupply.com. From Oct. 3 to Oct. 14, Ohio Tractor Supply stores raised $60,134. The Ohio funds raised are a portion of the more than $1 million nationwide grand total—marking the most successful fundraiser in Tractor Supply’s history. Combined with results from the Spring Paper Clover event held earlier this year, Ohio stores raised a total of $127,343. According to Christi Korzekwa, senior vice presi-

dent of marketing at Tractor Supply Company, there is immense value in supporting 4-H youth and their skills and interests. “Supporting today’s youth means supporting tomorrow’s leaders,” said Korzekwa. “Since 2010, Tractor Supply customers and team members have understood and supported the Paper Clover mission—to help provide vital hands-on learning opportunities and empower more 4-H youth to become leaders in their lives, careers and communities.” Fundraising ef-

forts from Tractor Supply’s Paper Clover event fund scholarships for numerous statelevel 4-H programs nationwide, and every Ohio donation beneﬁts Ohio youth. Scholarships are used for camps and leadership conferences, where attendees learn everything from animal care and woodworking to networking practices and civic responsibility. “Thanks to our partnership with Tractor Supply Company, its team members and the communities it serves, Paper Clover provides more youth with oppor-

tunities to learnby-doing—something that is vital to the development of their passions and interests,” said Jennifer Sirangelo, president and CEO of National 4-H Council. “It’s initiatives like Paper

Clover that help empower and inspire youth to handle life’s challenges, contribute to the world around them and ultimately develop into tomorrow’s leaders.” The Fall Paper Clover event rounds

out the ninth year of the campaign, which generated $1,999,661 in 2018. The company’s biannual fundraiser has collectively generated more than $14.9 million in essential funding to date.

The Paper Clover campaign will return to Ohio Tractor Supply stores next spring. For more information on the program, visit www. TractorSupply. com/4H.

Fluids to check before your next road trip For many traveling enthusiasts, few things are more enticing than the open road. Road trips have long been popular, and that popularity appears to be on the rise. According to a report from MMGY Global, a travel and hospitality marketing firm, road trips represented 39 percent of vacations taken by United States travelers in 2016. Road trips also remain popular in Canada, where vast, rugged terrain makes for idyllic trips. Before embarking on road trips, motorists would be wise to inspect their vehicles to ensure their getaways are not derailed by car troubles. * Brake fluid: Squeaky brakes are not the only potential indicator of brake problems. Brake fluid, which should always be topped off before

beginning a road trip, also might shed light on potentially serious problems. According to the National Motorists Association, brake fluid looks honey-like and translucent when fresh. A puddle beneath a vehicle that is clear to brown and slick indicates a brake fluid leak, which can ultimately lead to a complete failure of the brakes. The NMA recommends brake fluid be changed at least once every three to four years. * Transmission fluid: When fresh, transmission fluid is red, darkening over time. However, transmission fluid should never appear brown or black, which indicates potential internal damage to the transmission. To determine if there are any issues with the transmission fluid, the NMA recommends driv-

ers wipe a cool dipstick between their thumb and index ﬁnger. If even the slightest bit of grit is felt when wiping the dipstick, the transmission is likely in need of work. * Oil: Drivers should change their vehicle’s oil before embarking on road trips, especially if such trips will be lengthy. The NMA notes that fresh oil is light to dark amber and translucent, and that is how oil typically looks immediately after an oil change. Oil darkens over time, and that is natural (black oil indicates it’s time for an oil change). However, oil that appears cloudy or milky indicates that coolant is getting into the oil, perhaps due to gasket problems. Drivers who are not getting their vehicle’s oil changed before a road trip should at least check their oil before leaving to

Three tips to drive more efficiently Unlicensed drivers learning to drive are often taught the benefits of defensive driving. Safety is often the focus of such lessons, but the benefits of driving safely and efficiently extend far beyond safety. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, aggressive driving can lower gas mileage by roughly 15 to 30 percent at highway speeds. In addition, a 2017 study from researchers at the DOE’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory found that aggressive driving can contribute to a reduce fuel

efficiency by as much as 40 percent in stop-andgo traffic. Speeding as well as rapid acceleration and braking are hallmarks of aggressive driving, and each of these habits puts drivers, their passengers and other motorists at risk of accident and injury. By taking these steps to drive more efficiently, drivers can save money and potentially even lives. 1. Avoid rooftop cargo. Rooftop cargo units can be beneficial for family vacations or other extended getaways. But us-

ing rooftop cargo boxes as traveling storage units for items you don’t need on a daily basis or simply keeping empty units attached to vehicle roofs compromises fuel efficiency. Rooftop cargo bins increase the aerodynamic drag on vehicles, forcing them to burn more fuel than they would need to burn while moving without anything attached to the roof. DOE estimates suggest that large, blunt rooftop cargo boxes can reduce fuel efficiency by as much as 25 percent when a vehicle is moving at speeds between 65 and 75 miles per hour. 2. Don’t treat your trunk like a closet. Trunks are not closets, so resist the temptation to use them to store golf clubs and other items that are better stored in a house or garage. Research has indicated that an extra 100 pounds in a vehicle can reduce gas mileage by about 1 percent. Because that figure is based on the percentage of extra weight relative to the vehicle’s weight, drivers of small vehicles may find using their trunks as closets to be especially costly and inefficient. 3. Use cruise control when possible. Cruise control makes it possible for vehicles to maintain constant speeds. That helps drivers ensure they are always obeying the speed limit, and it keeps cars from the constant acceleration and deceleration that wastes fuel. Efficient driving is safe, cost-effective and eco-friendly. With some simple strategies, drivers can do their part to protect the planet and make roads safer, all while saving money.

inspect the color of the oil and ensure the vehicle has enough oil. * Windshield washer ﬂuid: The unknown of the open road is part of what makes it so appealing. While many road trippers plan their trips during the

summer and fall when the weather tends to be both pleasant and predictable, there’s no guarantee inclement weather won’t rear its ugly head. Filling the windshield washer ﬂuid reservoir before embarking on a trip ensures

driver’s visibility won’t be adversely affected by unforeseen issues that can soil windshields. Checking ﬂuids before embarking on a road trip can help drivers avoid breakdowns and ensure a safe, fun trip.

dents annually. This fall is no exception as the college has continued to witness an upward trend in enrollment, experiencing a 12percent increase in overall headcount and a 15-percent increase in credit hours. “We are so pleased to see this increase in enrollment, which is a direct result of the talent and hard work of the staff and faculty at Edison State,” said Edison State Provost Chris Spradlin. “They take great pride in delivering outstanding service and high-quality education to our students and community partners,

and they move quickly to anticipate and respond to the changing needs of the businesses and secondary schools in our region.” The increase in enrollment has been driven by a few signiﬁcant factors including College Credit Plus (CCP) enrollment, online enrollment, and new and diverse academic offerings. “These efforts have yielded modest advances in enrollment in previous semesters but are now producing signiﬁcant growth this fall, even at a time when most other colleges are facing enrollment de-

By broadening the number of online courses offered, students may now complete an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science transfer degrees without stepping foot on campus. “We have experienced considerable gains in our online courses; our arts and sciences classes – many of which are offered through our College Credit Plus Program; our engineering and manufacturing courses; our accounting, marketing, and business courses; and our social services and peace officer academy classes.” Edison State has taken a unique approach to meet the needs of the regional workforce, offering new degree options in agriculture, banking, cybersecurity, and numerous shortterm technical certificates designed to give students the skills needed to enter a new career field or advance in their current role. “The Edison State difference is our core belief in partnerships,” said Edison State President Dr. Doreen

Larson. “We use the same strategy of individualization and flexibility with our business partners as we do with each student and their family to deliver the education that is best in each situation. True partnerships involve a lot of give and take by all parties, and most importantly, they set aside institutional convenience in support of student success.” “At Edison State, we have applied extra time, energy, and expertise to take a new approach in delivering college education and abandoned the cookie-cutter method. In doing so, we have observed the student benefit which continues to motivate us to work even harder and take innovative approaches to fulfill our mission.”

44 students earn R.E.A.L. awards BY LINDA MOODY CORRESPONDENT lmoody@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – Forty-four students from six Darke County schools were honored Wednesday at an awards luncheon at Romer’s in Greenville. The special education supervisor staff of the Darke County Education Service Center (ESC) presented the awards program which also featured a buffet luncheon; music provided by 2019 American Idol contestant Knox Morris; and a presentation by Kristina Ropos, an SST10 consultant, for the state support team in southwest Ohio and the mother of a special education child as well. “I know it’s not easy; you have to work twice as hard,” Ropos said. “Planning early is one of my pieces of advice. Congratulations to all here. I couldn’t be proud of you more. Always have a Plan A, Plan B and Plan C. Parents, keep your eyes on the prize and keep moving forward.” The students were presented the R.E.A.L. (Raising Expectations for All Learners) Success Awards. Honored from Ansonia were Kaylee BoyerDiffenderfer in Advanced Language Arts; Mitchell Grieshop in Accelerated Math; Avery Hull in Accelerated Science; Kaden Lane in Accelerated Language Arts; and Coleton Thornhill in Advanced Math.

Those from FranklinMonroe receiving the awards were Lauren Buhl in Advanced Language Arts and Math; Ross Crumrine and Evie Middlestetter in both Advanced Language Arts and Accelerated Reading; Brody Edwards in Advanced Reading and Accelerated Math; and Nick McMillan and Henri Turner, both in Accelerated Reading. Award recipients from Mississinawa Valley were Zackary Binkley and Manual Melchor, both in Accelerated Math and Advanced Language Arts; Anthony Bridges in Advanced Language Arts; Samantha Couchot and Bonnie Parker, both in Advanced Reading; Chasity Gaynor in Advanced Language Arts and Math; Caden King in Advanced Language Arts, Math and Science; Jace Schilling in Advanced Math; and Anya Shelby and Braydon Smith, both in Accelerated Reading.
