ASSOCIATE EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – “I think this is an awesome project for this community to get out the stories of our vets,” said Chris “Bubba” Haynes, Veterans of Foreign Wars State Commander. He recently joined Mike Maloney, Past All American Commander from VFW Post 7262, to video record the ﬁrst of many planned interviews to preserve the stories of Darke County veterans. Recordings are being done by Greenville Career Tech’s IMTV program. “We have two more scheduled for next week,” said Lorrie Hoover, Greenville High School IMTV instructor. “One will be with the state commander of the American Legion.” She added the videos will be a part of a series of interviews the VFW wants to do for the Digital Wall they have planned. “We’re doing all the interviews for them,” she said. Haynes, a Desert Shield and Desert Storm veteran, said they want to get the word out to veterans and their families. “Many of them are no longer living, but their families are,” he said. “What we’re after is the memorabilia… the stories. Families have that

stuff.” “I have the Early Bird to thank for this,” said Maloney. “Ryan (Berry, Editor) suggested to me to check with IMTV to see if they could help.” He looked around the studio. “And here we are. We really appreciate Mrs. Hoover and her students for doing this.” The videos will be part of a Digital Wall and Library to preserve the memories of local veterans. A stateof-the-art wall or structure will be built in the Greenville Veterans Memorial Park (between the VFW and American Legion posts) that will display images 24 hours a day. “A couple of other high schools are doing this, too,” Maloney said. “Wright State… Edison… our dream is to have all high schools do it. We want to network with all of them.” It will take a while and many fundraisers to put the VFW’s plans together. The kick-off event is 7 p.m. Oct. 31 when the VFW will host an inaugural Mock Rock and Talent Show. Tickets are $10 in advance by calling 548-4004, or $15 at the door. The show is open to the public. “We’re ready to go,” Maloney said. “The lineup is set, the acts are ready… they are hilarious! If you miss this show, it’s on you!”

GREENVILLE – Hundreds of kids and their parents, along with downtown business owners, braved a stiff breeze, chilly temperatures and a few ghouls for the Early Bird/ Bluebag Media Halloween Parade and Main Street Greenville’s annual Beggars’ Night celebration on Oct. 29. After 40 years of dedicating their time and talents to organizing the parade, the Greenville Lions Club announced earlier this year the club would drop its sponsorship. The Early Bird/Bluebag Media

was eager to accept the responsibility of organizing the parade and costume contest in order to keep the tradition alive in Greenville. Children and adults competed for cash prizes in seven contest categories and Keith Foutz, publisher and owner of The Early Bird/Bluebag Media, was thrilled with the turnout. Jessica Winn, advertising executive for the newspaper, led the charge and organized the parade and contest, but success would not have been possible without assistance from other individuals and organizations. The Early Bird/Bluebag Media would like to thank Amber

Garrett, executive director, Main Street Greenville, for her guidance and assistance, and Mayor Mike Bowers and all of the city crews especially Superintendent Ryan Delk of the street department, Chief Mark Wolf of the Greenville Fire Department and Chief Dennis Butts of the Greenville Police Department. A special thank you is also extended to Greg Peck of Greg Peck Sound Service for the use of a public address system and for tying it into the speaker system on Broadway. The Greenville High School Varsity Cheerleaders are very deserved of a thank you for serving us judges. Stacie Ward, cheerleading

advisor and her crew, Serena Stastny, Taylor Ward, Haleigh Dunevant, Tiona Thompson, Bailey Bennett, Hope Byrum, Taira Ruble, Madison Meade and Tessa Schatz, did an outstanding job in picking the winners. The parade would not have been possible without its participants. The Early Bird/Bluebag Media thanks the Greenville VFW for providing its entries, Greenville High School NJROTC and Greenville Marching Band for being part of the parade. Most of all, a thank you is extended to all of the costume wearing kids and adults that chose to take part in the parade.

relative’s house. The relative said when she returned with the victim, the defendant was yelling and aggressive. She told him to stop, then called the police. Houseman denied any violence occurred, adding the victim had hit him in the ear with an unknown object the day before. There was a bruise on the victim’s arm, but no other injuries; and there was an unspeciﬁed injury to Houseman’s ear. Houseman was arrested for Domestic Violence and transported to the Darke County jail. The victim was advised on the process for obtaining a Civil Protection Order (CPO). CRIMINAL DAMAGING On October 24 police made contact with Todd Daniels at Danny’s Place, 308 S. Broadway. He was arrested on two outstanding warrants through Greenville PD; one for failing to appear for a theft trial, the other for failing to appear for sentencing on a tax violation. While outside, Daniels reportedly became disorderly, swear-

ing at the ofﬁcers, stating he had a gun and threatening to “blow our heads off.” He had no weapon. He was placed in the back of a cruiser where he began trying to knock out a window. As he was being escorted to Darke County jail, he was able to get his hands underneath him and start beating and spitting on the screen. He also reportedly grabbed both interior door handles and ripped them off. Daniels was incarcerated on a bond of $4,050. Depending on the damage, he will be charged with either Felony Vandalism or Misdemeanor Criminal Damaging. DRUGS On October 22 police stopped a vehicle on East Main Street for no working tail lights.

ond time when the ofﬁcer observed loose green leafy vegetation on his pants. The defendant was asked to exit his vehicle. A search revealed a bag containing six cigarette wraps, a wooden brown pipe with green residue, a clear plastic baggie containing green leafy vegetation, a red and black glass pipe and a pill bottle containing three roaches. The juvenile admitted all items were his. He was cited for drug abuse and drug paraphernalia and released to his mother.

Brian Peters was allegedly observed in the frozen foods department concealing merchandise in his pockets. After concealing the merchandise he left the store without paying for it. He was stopped outside the store and asked if he was planning to pay for the items he took. Peters then handed the employee two boxes of 12 gauge slugs, then produced ﬁve more boxes. Peters told police he stole the slugs because “he did not have the money to pay for them.” He was charged with theft and trespassed from the store.

drugs. With him was Savanna Pitsenbarger (see next report). Shelton was arrested and incarcerated at the Darke County jail awaiting pickup from Montgomery County.

Autumn: A great time to visit the Parks GREENVILLE – The Darke County Park District extends an invitation to all Darke County residents and beyond to visit their 12 beautiful parks including the Tecumseh Trail Bike Path. Autumn is a lovely time of year with the heat, humidity, and insects gone and all the astounding col-

ors developing. It won’t be too much longer before snow and ice may keep everyone tucked inside with a warm mug of hot chocolate, but for now the weather is delightful. There’s so much to see and do that everyone can ﬁnd a park for them. Shawnee Prairie Preserve not

only features woods, prairie, and wetlands along its many walking trails, but also is home to the Nature Center. At the Nature Center, families can check out the live classroom featuring over thirty live animals and over twenty different species. In addition, at the bird watching window visitors

can sit in comfortable armchairs indoors and watch the birds at the feeders even when the weather isn’t so nice. Bird watchers are also encouraged to participate in Project Feeder Watch happening on Tuesdays and Wednesdays 9:30-11 a.m. through April. The Nature Center also features dis-

plays on Native American culture, insects, mammals, weather, and much more. Besides Shawnee, there are many other options. Prairie Ridge Meadow offers great ﬁshing in Greenville Creek to those with state licenses. Winterrowd Wetlands features a fabulous observation blind to catch a glimpse of wildlife. Routzong Preserve presents brilliant fall colors, and Tecumseh Point lets visitors walk through history. Don’t forget about those last few

bike rides of the year! Tecumseh Trail delivers a great opportunity for a Sunday afternoon family outing. All of the Darke County Parks are open year round from sunrise to sunset, and the Nature Center is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For a full map of all of the parks or maps of individual parks, visit the Nature Center, 4267 St. Rt. 502 West or visit www.darkecountyparks.org.

ON YOUR MIND

READERS WRITE

Greenville Twp. Rescue I understand that the City of Greenville Fire Department wants to take over the EMS service in the city of Greenville. I feel this would be a huge mistake. I had the privilege to work with Greenville Township Rescue’s (GTR) staff for several weeks in 2014/15 as I finished my paramedics. In 15 years, I have not worked with a more professional, dedicated staff of people anywhere. For me to come down from Wisconsin and be accepted the very first day as a member of this team was nothing short of amazing. Your EMS Chief is dedicated, and has dedicated years of his life to the protection and service of this City and Township. The paramedics and EMT’s at GTR are top notch, well trained, compassionate people, who deserve far more for what they have done, and do for your City and Township on a daily basis. Despite all the political turmoil that surrounds them on such a regular basis, they step up and provide preeminent pre-hospital care on every call they respond to. To treat them in a way that completely eliminates their positions and all of their dedication over the years, just to create a piggy bank for the fire department is disrespectful and callous. If it weren’t for the dedicate personnel at Greenville Rescue my experience would have been diminished, and my ability to perform at my current level would be reduced. What GTR gives on a daily basis is amazing, compassionate paramedic level emergency care. Don’t make the mistake of losing that, as it is incredibly hard and expensive to get back. Stay strong GTR, you do amazing things! Jerry McMullen Cottage Grove, WI ******************* ~~~~~~~~~~ Supporting GTR

I recently heard the disheartening news about a possible takeover of Greenville Township Rescue (GTR) by the Greenville City Fire Department. I want to share my experiences with GTR to highlight this amazing department and the professional men and women that I had the pleasure of working with during my stay. I learned so much from GTR’s experienced paramedics that I know it will only help me throughout my career. Paramedics with up to 30 years’ of experience were more than willing to help me complete the objectives I had without hesitation. The amount of confidence and professionalism that these paramedics have on scenes is second to none and I can only hope to apply half of the skill set that they all carry during my paramedic career. I know that there will be many more paramedic students sent to GTR just based off of the amount of experience and the wealth of knowledge that can be gained from every single paramedic within the department. In closing I would just like to say that this department is beyond any I have ever encountered from around the country. I have worked in various EMS departments from my time serving in the United States military, to various locations throughout my home state of California and can honestly say that GTR has a special comradery and respect for this career field that I have never seen before. 40 years of selflessly serving within the community should not and cannot be looked passed by anyone. Raymond Delgado Fontana, Calif. ~~~~~~~~~~ Enjoying Ackley Really enjoy Paul Ackley – he is one great editorial cartoonist! We are so lucky to have him here in our community. He should be nationwide. Everyone should be able to enjoy his work. Thank you, Paul. Nancy Warner, Greenville

Don’t bring me into your bad month

It’s not unusual to have a bad day, week or month. For me, I just go through the list of popular phrases and know I’ll get through whatever it is that made it a bad day, week or month. There’s always a silver lining, joy comes in the morning, the sun will come up tomorrow, nothing lasts forever, it’s always darkest just before dawn, blah, blah, blah, etc., etc., etc. What I don’t like is when I’m having a good month and being dragged into somebody else’s bad month. Married guys know what I’m talking about. Divorced guys didn’t know enough phrases to get through it. Single guys… They’ll ﬁgure it out someday. Let me preface this column by saying I love my

COLUMBUS - The Ohio Senate recently passed legislation, sponsored by State Senator Bill Beagle (R-Tipp City), which clarifies language adopted in the state’s main operating budget earlier this year that lowers the tax burden for all small businesses. “Small businesses drive Ohio’s economy, they make up nearly 98 percent of all businesses in the state and employ half of Ohio’s private workforce,” said Beagle. “These tax cuts will continue to empower small business owners to expand, make new investments, add more employees to their teams and remain competitive in a global marketplace.” Senate Bill 208 makes clear the intention of the General Assembly to exempt 75 percent of the first $250,000 of income in tax year 2015 and 100 percent of the first $250,000 for tax year 2016. The remaining 25 percent of income in tax year 2015 will be taxed according to existing graduated rate tables with a 3 per-

rather receive a phone call from her that she was in an accident than from someone else. I really thought her driving was getting better. After all, it had been nearly ﬁve years since her last accident. It was also the last time she dragged me into one of her bad spells. That spell lasted for an entire year – four accidents in that time period. Being a person that always looks on the bright side, I will proudly admit that only half of those were her fault. Unfortunately, this one was also her fault. She freaked out! I was calm, cool and collected as I tried to reassure her everything would be alright and reminded her it could have been much worse. It was no use. She was having a bad week and I was right there – smack, dab in the middle of it. As if that wasn’t bad enough, she dragged me further into her bad month. I heard a new tone in her

voice I had not heard before. I was concerned. She shared with me our oldest daughter was about to embark on a new journey - one that my wife and I had not been on before with either of our children. A boy was interested in her and asked her to homecoming. What? No, I wasn’t concerned about a boy going out with my daughter. All I heard was HOMECOMING. That obviously meant someone was going to need a new dress. My wife needed a new car and my daughter needed a new dress. Could the month possibly get any worse? As we always do – we got through the bad month. My wife got a new car and my daughter got a new dress and a boyfriend. I love my wife’s car. I’m still trying to come to grips with my daughter having a boyfriend. Maybe I’ll try holding onto another phrase – this too shall pass.

wife whole heartedly and couldn’t live without her. She means the world to me. (That should do it for my “cover your butt” disclaimer.) I’ve been married long enough to know the different inﬂections in my wife’s voice. She has the “Ryan you’re in trouble” tone, which is very close to the “wait until I tell you what your kids did this time” tone. Those two confuse and scare me from time to time. I can also tell when she is panicking. That tone usually comes when she learns we are having company in an hour and the house is a mess or she wrecked the car and is lucky to be alive, again. The ﬁrst example would not be enough to drag me into her bad day, week or month. It’s for that reason that I agreed to have servants – sorry, I mean children. The second example of her panicking tone would be enough. I have to admit, I would

cent cap. All taxable income above $250,000 in both tax years will be taxed at a flat 3 percent. The Small Business Exemption will now be incorporated into the 1040 form in order to increase participation of eligible filers. Previously, the exemption was on a separate schedule of tax forms and as a result many eligible filers did not access the tax exemption designed to encourage growth and that will allow Ohio small business owners to invest back into their

companies. The changes in this bill will reduce tax revenue by an estimated $77.4 million in Fiscal Year 2015 and an estimated $5.7 million in Fiscal Year 2017, totaling approximately $83.1 million over two years. The cost of the bill in Fiscal Year 2017 is attributed to an additional change that ensures that both individual ﬁlers and small businesses can claim all of the deductions and tax credits the tax code allows. A provision was added to

the bill to restore $44 million of Tangible Personal Property (TPP) supplemental reimbursements to schools vetoed in House Bill 64. Additionally, it changes the underlying mechanism of the TPP tax reimbursement payments for future years and provides districts a slower glide path and a more predictable formula with regards to the phase out of TPP reimbursements. Senate Bill 208 will now be sent to the governor for his signature.

Principal Vernon Rosenbeck accepts Colby’s donation to St. Mary’s School.

Student’s donation surprises teacher

GREENVILLE – Five year old Colby Peters, a student in Mrs. Blocher’s preschool class at St. Mary’s School, had a surprise for Mrs. Blocher recently. Colby had set up a lemonade stand at his home while his father, Jesse, was conducting a Parelli Horsemanship Clinic. Colby made $46 at the lemonade stand and without any suggestions or urging from his parents, presented the entire amount to Mrs. Blocher “for St. Mary’s School,” is his own words. When Vernon Rosenbeck, principal at St. Mary’s was informed of this act of kindness from one of

his students, he promptly pulled out four more dollars and said, “There, that’ll make an even $50, Colby, and thank you so much on behalf of the entire school.” While we all know that “charity begins at home,” it’s still inspiring to know that a ﬁve year old can have a heart the size of Colby’s.

ESCC helps children

GREENVILLE – Today’s high school-age students have many more education options than ever before. The options available to students address the wide diversity of today’s students. Today’s students basically have three broad options in pursuing a high school diploma: traditional ‘brick and mortar’ schooling; home schooling; and a virtual academy. Greenville offers blended learning to meet all facets of the student population. Within Greenville High School, college-bound students have two pathways that offer broad and creative avenues for the students. Some of the exciting offerings of the traditional college preparatory track are Advanced Placement courses and College Credit Plus courses (CC+). Students may take CC+ courses in their high school campus, on-line, or on the campus of the higher education institution. Students have the opportunity to take more challenging courses and explore college interests sooner. Students may earn a few college credits to more than a year’s worth while still in high school. The beneﬁts of CC+ are reducing the time in college and greatly reducing the higher education costs. Tuition is free for the students who take the classes at public colleges. Private colleges may

require a modest fee for the students. The other pathway for students is Career Technical Education. Greenville High School offers 11 programs or career technical offerings, all of which are College Tech Prep programs designed for seamless transition to higher education institutions. Career technical education maximizes student learning success with real-work knowledge. Throughout the state of Ohio Career Technical Education shows: 98% of those students graduate from high school; 60% go on to further education; 50% are employed within nine months of graduation. We work directly with each student to help them decide and plan for their own career pathway. The Greenville Virtual Academy (GVA) offers supervised on-line learning opportunities for nontraditional students who have individual circumstances and barriers that prevent them from being successful in the traditional classroom of the high school. The students are placed in the academy based on educational need. The students have a meeting with their guidance counselor and the director of the GVA to determine if they meet the requirements for placement. Among the above three

options is a special option for the students called Flex Credit for students to earn credits for graduation beyond traditional accrual of high school credits. This program is designed to broaden the scope of curricular options to students, increase the depth of study available for a particular subject and tailor the learning time needed. Students can customize aspects of their learning around more of their interests and needs. Credit ﬂexibility options are designed for those students who demonstrate the ability, interest, and maturity to accept personal responsibility for their learning in a selected curricular area and have the opportunity to pursue it outside of Greenville High School. Again, students need to meet with their guidance counselor to ﬁnd out the requirements and application process to successfully embark this path. In Ohio parents also have the option to educate their children with Home Schooling. To provide home school instruction, the parent or the person providing instruction, must have one of the following: A high school diploma, a graduate equivalence degree (GED), Standardized test scores that show high school equivalence, or another credential deemed appropriate by the district superinten-

dent. Parents interested in this option must notify their school district’s superintendent and meet the requirements of Ohio law to home school. All requirements and all other information regarding home schooling can be obtained on the Ohio Department of Education’s web page: http://education.ohio.gov Home schooled students have many of the same options afforded to the students attending traditional schooling. Virtual (online) education, Flex Credit, College Credit Plus, Advanced Placement are all available to the home schooled student. In Ohio, home school students also are allowed the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities in public schools. These activities include any offered at the school that the student would attend if enrolled in the school where the student resides. They must meet the same nonacademic and ﬁnancial requirements, just as any other student participating in the activity. High school students today have many opportunities to help them pursue their interests and career pathways. Many of the options available may also greatly help them ﬁnancially in reducing their costs and time in college or other post-secondary higher education institutions.

DCP has possibilities for school programs GREENVILLE – Darke County Parks extends an invitation to teachers for the 2015-2016 school year to get your students outside. When it comes to providing quality curriculum based supplemental programming, Darke County Parks’ nature programs are the best resource. Teachers are encouraged to take advantage of what Darke County Parks can offer. Whether it’s geology with an emphasis on the rock cycle or stream studies with an emphasis on the water cycle, the park naturalists can meet your needs. Additionally, all ﬁeld trips are now provided at no cost for all Darke County Schools. If squeezing in

a ﬁeld trip is not an easy option, the naturalists can bring a program into your classroom. All of the programming meets the newly revised state science standards and can be an excellent complement to classroom studies. Some of the topics they offer are life cycles, plants, habitats, geology, natural resources, and more. Students do not just come to learn about natural history. Several schools and grades travel to explore Darke County’s rich cultural history through tours and demonstrations in the Anthony Wayne Peace Council House and the Log House at Shawnee Prairie Preserve.

Help for students with disabilities GREENVILLE – Students ages 14-21 with disabilities, their parents, intervention specialists, teachers and administrators are invited to a Transition Fair at the Greenville High School, 100 Greenwave Way, Greenville, on Nov. 4, 5:30-8 p.m. The keynote speaker will be a representative of the Ohio Association of County Boards and will speak about Building a Good Life. The Transition Fair is designed to assist students in moving towards their after graduation visions, goals and outcomes. This is a collaborative effort between Darke County Schools and community service providers. They are focused on providing students, parents and teachers an opportunity learn more about the Transition Planning process and connect-

ing parents and students to community resources as students move from school to after graduation activities, such as postsecondary education, vocational education, integrated employment (including supported employment), continuing and adult education, adult services, independent living or community participation. Break out session topics will be Social Security Work Incentives, Preparing for College and Transition Planning for the IEP. There will be hands-on activities for students in the areas of education, employment and independent living. Community service providers include the Board of Developmental Disabilities, Bridges to Transition, Capabilities, Job and Family Services, Opportunities for Ohioans with Dis-

abilities, Sinclair Community College, Edison State Community College, Ohio State University Extension, Darke County, and more. To register, contact Kelly Fourman or Lisa Preston

at 548-4915. The event is sponsored by the Darke County Board of Developmental Disabilities, Darke County Educational service Center and Greenville City Schools.

Stegall gives Edison DCC students some life lessons BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know anything about me? Why not?... Am I a good guy, bad guy? I spend your money.â&#x20AC;? Darke County Commissioner Mike Stegall spoke to 34 Edison State Community College, Darke County Campus, students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are my boss! You should know me!â&#x20AC;? While many of them were old enough to vote, the majority werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Makes no difference,â&#x20AC;? Stegall told one 16-year-old College Credit Plus student. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need to know. The best thing you can doâ&#x20AC;Ś be informed.â&#x20AC;? Stegall has been a guest speaker at Edison DCC Fundamentals of Communication fall and spring classes for nearly three years. He offers a dose of reality from his perspective - that garners different reactions from the students. While most seemed attentive but impassive, some â&#x20AC;&#x153;got intoâ&#x20AC;? the presentation. The vast majority said later they liked him; others were less impressed, but usually on minor issues. One student hassled him about not following the â&#x20AC;&#x153;rubricâ&#x20AC;? for good speechesâ&#x20AC;Ś donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lean or sit on the table, keep hands out of pockets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know,â&#x20AC;? Stegall responded. To the next class he made it clear he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t follow that part of the rubric. Another student didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like his tie. She was outnumbered. A couple more thought he was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;typical politician,â&#x20AC;? one felt he was a little arrogant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At ďŹ rst, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to think, what to make of him,â&#x20AC;? said Madison Young, CCP student from Ansonia High School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then I got into it. I like his personalityâ&#x20AC;Ś he was being himself. I liked that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not really big into

politics,â&#x20AC;? she added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but what he had to say was interesting.â&#x20AC;? Clay Guillozet, CCP student from Greenville High School, said he got more and more comfortable as Stegall talked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel I had enough knowledge to speak out, but started to get more comfortable giving our own opinions. I felt he was listening to what we were saying.â&#x20AC;? Stephanie Scholl, recent Mississinawa Valley High School graduate, responded to Stegallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;somewhat aggressiveâ&#x20AC;? attitude by saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like him. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a jerkâ&#x20AC;Ś just truthful.â&#x20AC;? Cydney Adams, recent Mississinawa Valley High School graduate, thought Stegall had opened up a new area of interest for her. Following comments Stegall

had made about the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to put people to work (Economic Development), including some details heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d made about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taking Charge of Your Lifeâ&#x20AC;? program, Cydney said she likes helping peopleâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now I might even consider politics.â&#x20AC;? Stephanie added she appreciated his honesty, even if it made people mad. Stegall approached the

three classes differently, depending on format and feedback, but covered much the same areas heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d covered in the past, updated: Darke Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unemployment rate has dropped from about 11 percent to 3.6 percent; Taking Charge of Your Life has a 70 percent success rate; Darke Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Economic Development progress ranks second among

the 14 counties of the Dayton Development Coalition and more. He closed with the three points he always tells each student to remember: Nobody is going to care about

you as much as you do yourself, There is no such thing as luck (itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preparation meeting opportunity), and Everything you do is your faultâ&#x20AC;Ś you own it!

Versailles volleyball advances with win over West Liberty-Salem BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

BROOKVILLE – The Versailles Lady Tigers volleyball team advanced in tournament play Saturday afternoon defeating the West Liberty-Salem Lady Tigers 3-1 by scores of 25-23, 25-16, 18-25 and 25-16. “That was pretty intense. We knew it was going to be,” said Versailles Coach Karla Frilling. “I’m not going to doubt anything this team can do.” Game one had the ﬁrst of eight ties at 3-3 before WL-S took a 7-3 lead with Versailles answering with six unanswered points to lead 9-7. Holding an 18-16 advantage the Versailles Lady Tigers would give up three consecutive points to trail 19-18 bringing a timeout from the Versailles bench. The Versailles girls would even the score at 1919 coming out of the timeout only to have the girls from Champaign County take a 21-19 edge. The teams would battle to a 22-22 tie bringing a second Versailles timeout. Versailles would take a 23-22 lead bringing a timeout from the WL-S bench with Versailles making it a 24-22 game coming out of the T/O. West Liberty-Salem would make it a 24-23 game only to have the Versailles Lady Tigers score the next point to win game one 25-23 and take a 1-0 match lead. Game two had the score even at 14-14 before the Versailles Lady Tigers would outscore the Lady Tigers from West Liberty 11-2 including a 6-0 game ending scoring run to take a 2-0 advantage with a 2516 win. WL-S would take early game three leads at 4-0 and 7-2 bringing a Versailles timeout but it was West Liberty moving out to 10-3 and 11-5 leads before the girls from Ver-

sailles would make it a four point game trailing 16-12 when half the lights went dark bringing more than a five-minute break before the lights could be brought back up to power. “We were already down by four so we knew it was going to make us or break us,’ Frilling said of the game delay. “If we lose this next point right out of the timeout, now we’re down by five. It did play a little bit of a head game and then we let them really pull away. We could have used it as a positive transition to get back in the game but unfortunately we did not.” The WL-S Lady Tigers would score nine-points while holding Versailles to six-points the balance of game three to secure a 25-18 win and trail 2-1. “We had a down match where we just didn’t trust ourselves that we could make a comeback, that we could finish strong,” Frilling said. “We let them take advantage of that.” Game four had the score tied at 1-1 and 3-3 before WL-S would move out to leads of 7-3 and 9-5 bringing a spirited timeout from the Versailles bench. Versailles would battle back to even the score at 10-10, 11-11 and take a 1411 lead bringing a WL-S timeout. Two consecutive points would get WL-S within a point at 14-13 before trailing Versailles 19-16. The Versailles Lady Tigers would score the final sixpoints of the fourth set to win 25-16 and advance in tournament play with the 3-1 match win. “They got to trust each other… they got to believe in each other and have confidence,” Frilling said. “When we play that way… that’s what you saw in those particular sets (sets one, two and four). That was the difference. Played like a team. Played hard and with each other.”

COLUMBUS – “Going from a high school coach to now being able to make a real impact on the sport, is something special and is a great story,” Ohio State University wrestling Coach Tom Ryan said about Greenville graduate Bradly Jennings. “It reminds me of that movie the Field of Dreams and just gives me the chills thinking about it!” Jennings and his family recently presented the university with a gift of $2.5 million that will support the construction of a new standalone wrestling facility. The Jennings were recognized for their generosity and support of OSU on the field at Ohio Stadium during the OSU football game against Penn State on Saturday, Oct. 24. Brad began wrestling at the young age of 4 and continued through his senior year of high school at Greenville. Once he graduate as a Green Wave in 1994, he briefly attended college at Wright State University before changing his career path by getting into the insurance field. At about the same time he started his own insurance company – Financial Providence Group – Jennings took an assistant coaching position with the Indian Lake High School wrestling program. According to Jennings, he juggled a business and coaching

for nearly six years before it just became too much. Today, Jennings lives in Columbus with his wife of 13 years Alex, and their two children 11-year-old, Madeline and 8-year-old, Gavin. Even with a successful insurance agency and family, Jennings’ passion for the sport of wrestling still burns strong. In addition to the donation, Jennings also has offered a $150,000 endowment scholarship in which the university matches. “When Coach Ryan told me about the need for a new facility, I knew I wanted to help,” Jennings told The Early Bird. “This will hopefully draw talented wrestlers to Columbus and make the program even better than it already is.” “I am told the center will have my name associated with it, but that was never my reason for donating the money,” Jennings added. “If this can help create better

lives for these studentathletes… that is what it’s all about!” According to Coach Ryan, the nearly 25,000 square foot, state-or-theart wrestling center will be just the third collegiate stand-alone facility of its kind – along with one at Cornell University in New York and the University of Michigan. It will house at least four mats and also be utilized as an Olympic training center, which will provide some of the best equipment to help get the athletes to the next level and excel at the sport. “This is going to be the nicest facility ever built,” assured Coach Ryan. “When OSU Athletic Director Gene Smith asked me what will it take to get us to the next level… right here it is!” Named the 2015 NCAA Coach of the Year, Tom Ryan and his Buckeyes won a National Championship last year for the

first time in OSU wrestling history – which started in 1921. It was also the first Big 10 title year since 1951. He is very excited and thankful that the program will soon have a championship facility to match it’s student-athletes. Currently the wrestling program shares the St. John’s Arena – the Buckeyes’ former basketball venue – with the OSU volleyball and gymnastics programs. The new facility will focus on wrestling and give the National Champions a home of their own. The plan is start construction sometime in early 2016 and be finished by fall of 2017. Coach Ryan says that with Jennings’ generous donation, “that timeline is finally realistic.” To learn more about Ohio State Wrestling, visit the official website at www.ohiostatebuckeyes.com.

GHS cheer squads sweep Benjamin Logan competition BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE-The Greenville High School (GHS) competition cheerleading squads made a big impact at the Benjamin Logan High School Black and Gold Cheer Competition this past Sunday. According to Stacie Ward, GHS Cheer Coordinator and varsity coach, they traveled a greater distance than usual for this competition to give the girls a challenge and opportunity to face a brand new pool of schools. “We wanted to see how we would stand up against a completely different set of squads and judges from outside Darke County, and at a much larger competition,” stated Ward. “We’ve been pushing the girls to reach their personal best from day one and we wanted a good indication of how they’re doing.” “As the day progressed and each of the 12 varsity squads performed, GHS knew they had their work cut out for them,” Ward noted. “The squads were highly competitive,” stated Whitney Yingst, varsity coach. “We saw a lot of higher level tumbling skills and a higher percentage of tumblers per squad than we are used to.”

At the end of the day GHS varsity came out on top placing first out of 12 squads and proving that hard work pays off. “When they announced second place as Greenon the girls had a quick high then low as they realized it wasn’t us. Waiting for that final name of the first place squad was the longest few seconds of the day,” Ward added. “When they announced us as champions the tears just started to flow from the girls, coaches and even parents and grandparents. We’ve faced a bit of adversity and negativity this year so we’ve really had to encourage the girls to have positive attitudes and to keep working hard. I

don’t think I can put into words how proud we are of them.” The JV squad, coached by Macia Reed and Molly McMiller, was also awarded first place in their JV specific division, beating out Bellefontaine and Shawnee, and giving them a much needed boost of confidence. “Most often at the local competitions our JV girls have to compete in the varsity division which is very difficult. They know going in the odds are stacked against them. This is another reason we sought out larger competitions with JV categories. I’m thrilled they had this opportunity,” said Ward. According to Yingst, Greenville also took home

the Spirit Award making it a clean sweep on the day and rewarding the hard work the coaching staff emphasizes throughout the season. “Overall, we are champions and we proved that we are capable of achieving what we believe in,” she concluded. Varsity squad members include Bailey Bennett, Hope Byrum, Sydney Crews, Haleigh Dunevant, Madison Meade, Taira Ruble, Tessa Schatz, Serena Stastny, Tiona Thompson and Taylor Ward. JV squad members are Maddy Baker, Kinzie Clark, Katie Hurd, Ashley Jolley, Kenzie McMiller, Shelby Pell, Jessica Peters and Alexa Snyder.

Ansonia pee wee football plays in Super Bowl Championship BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

Who will display the Little Brown Jug? GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – In 1899 Greenville and Sidney football teams met for the ﬁrst time with games played from 1925-31 on Thanksgiving Day. Both teams were charter members of the old Miami Valley League beginning in 1928. In 1956, Sidney resident and SHS graduate Frank Schlagetter recognized the tradition with Greenville and Sidney initiating an Ohio high school version of the Little Brown Jug. Roots for the Little Brown Jug go back to 1903 which goes to the winner of the Michigan-Minnesota college game. “When we came back into the GWOC three full seasons ago, that’s when it came back into play,” said Greenville football Coach Aaron Shaffer.” Sidney won the initial ‘Jug’ matchup in 1956 and the traveling trophy stayed in play until after a 1971 game when Greenville changed leagues and the series was interrupted. Entering the Friday, October 8, 1971 renewal at Sidney, the Jackets held the award resulting from consecutive wins from 19661970. Sidney lost to an eventual undefeated 1971 Greenville team 22-8 and it was taken for granted the Little Brown Jug would be in Greenville until the teams played again which came in 1982 with the formation of the GWOC. When the two teams played again the Little Brown Jug was nowhere to be found and just became a part of history. “As I understand it,” said Shaffer, “one of the last games we played before we split and went to different conferences Greenville actually won the game and the trophy never changed hands.” Sidney home games were played at Julia Lamb Stadium at the old high school which became the Central Junior High and Bridgeview Middle School where the ﬁnal varsity game was played in 2003. Prior to the 2005 demolition of Bridgeview, an auction of miscellaneous contents was held in 2004. After the auction, a for-

mer Yellow Jacket football player and former member of the Friday night sideline chain gang received the auctioneer’s blessing to look around prior to demolition. In the south third-floor room that previously held the home economics classes and served as the giant makeshift press boxes on game nights, the SHS alumni opened and searched a cabinet and unexpectedly found the Little Brown Jug. The former Sidney player offered the Auctioneer $12 for the jug and a deal was struck. In time the former Sidney football player kindly returned the Little Brown Jug, after a hiatus of 33-years to the Sidney High School trophy case. “For them to have found it, bringing it back into the rivalry as something to play for at the end of the year, a trophy to put in the trophy case… but for 33 years it should have sat in our trophy case,” Shaffer said. The two rival schools now play each year for the right to display the “Little Brown Jug” in the victorious school’s trophy case for the next 365-days. “We talk about it with our kids, about it is important more than that dried piece of clay that’s got names painted on it,” Shaffer stated. “It’s a pride issue.” “Now we’re back playing,” added Shaffer. “It’s a week-10 game, it’s one of our division opponents and the way the GWOC does their schedule, they make these rivalry games at the end… very fitting that it is the last game of the year.” There is suspicion the “lost” 33-years is the result of two Sidney assistant coaches that were stationed on the third floor maintaining the field headphones from the home-ec room on game night… it seems probable that one of the coaches was responsible for the jug and after the heartbreaking loss to the Green Wave in 1971 simply accidently left it sit. Most likely a custodian found it and not knowing its significance, simply placed it in a cabinet for safekeeping not to be seen for over 33-years. Visit www.bluebagmedia.com this weekend or like us on Facebook to see who will display the trophy this year.

BRADFORD – Playing in their first season with the 10-team Cross County Conference Youth Football League, the Ansonia varsity Pee Wee football team earned their way to the Super Bowl Championship game against the Miami East Vikings. “We played with Celina, St. Marys and Sydney Lehman the last few years,” said Ansonia Varsity Pee Wee Coach Mike Osterloh. “We just felt now was the time to make the move and start playing some of the guys that they will see when they get to high school. It has worked out well so far.” “It’s their first year in our conference,” said CCC Youth Football League President Chris Hellyer (Miami East). They are a good football team and an excellent program. A great addition to our league.” The teams made up of fifth and sixth graders met on the Bradford High School football field at 4 p.m. Sunday afternoon before a large crowd of Ansonia and Miami East fans for the playing of the Super Bowl game. Facing a fourth-andsix Miami East got on the board first with a Dillon Thompson 35-yard touchdown run and a successful 2-point (5-yard) conversion run to lead 8-0. Ansonia answered with a 4-yard Owen Jankowski run followed by a failed conversion making an 8-6 score. Dustin Quinter recovered a Vikings fumble setting up a third-and-five Jankowski 5-yard touchdown scamper. With an Ethan Litteral 1-point conversion run (3-yard) successful, the Darke County boys had a 13-8 lead. Miami East would use a Thompson 8-yard TD run and 2-point conversion to take a 16-13 halftime lead. Vikings speedster Aus-

tin Francis would make it a 22-13 score with a 58-yard third period touchdown run and a 5-yard conversion upping the Miami East lead to 24-13. Miami East would turn a Tigers fumble into a 16yard Francis touchdown to lead 30-13. A failed 2-point conversion attempt had Ansonia taking over first-andten at their own 35-yard stripe. The Tigers would get on the board with a 16-yard Jankowski touchdown run cutting the Vikings third quarter lead to 30-19. Ansonia was unsuccessful on the 5-yard pass conversion attempt. Late in the third period Miami East would strike with a 60-yard Thompson TD run and complete a 2-point conversion pass to lead 38-19 heading to fourth period play. Ansonia’s Jankowski would cut the Vikings lead to 38-27 with an early fourth quarter 9-yard touchdown run and a 5-yard 2-point conversion carry. Miami East would find the end zone with a 28yard strike through the air to Francis to lead 44-27. A failed 2-point conversion attempt had Ansonia looking at a first-and-ten from their own 35-yard line. Jankowski raced 65yards on the first play of the series for a score and carried the ball 5-yards into the end zone good for the 2-point conversion to trail 44-35. Francis would answer with a 65-yard touchdown

EUM serves GHS football team traditional dinner GREENVILLE - For the third straight year, the EUM Church prepared and served dinner to the Greenville varsity football team, coaches and cheerleaders. The church holds the now traditional dinner at their downtown campus on Devor the evening be-

run on the following Vikings play and with a failed 2-point conversion attempt Miami East led with a 50-35 fourth quarter advantage. Jankowski and the Tigers were not done yet as No. 99 would tote the ball 65yards on Ansonia’s first play from scrimmage giving the Ansonia 6th grader Owen Jankowski five touchdowns and two 2-point conversions on the day for a final 50-41 Vikings win. “Owen has been our horse all year,” said Osterloh. “I can’t say enough about our kids. They work hard every practice every game. They never get down. They just keep swinging.

Can’t ask any more out of them.” Ed Elliott, Jason Taylor and Jason Mote assist Osterloh coaching the Ansonia team. “Keith Burk a sophomore football player comes out and helps when he can,” said Osterloh. The CCC Youth Football League is made up of ten schools with Houston the only non CCC school and plays a seven game regular season ending with a 3-game single elimination tournament. In the Junior Varsity (3rd and 4th graders) CCC Pee Wee Super Bowl game National Trail defeated the Covington Buccs.

GREENVILLE – A local mother is jailed after not complying with terms of probation following a conviction of Endangering Children. Vanessa L. Keen, 21, appeared in the Darke County Common Pleas Court Friday morning following a violation complaint by the Adult Probation Department. The complaint was ﬁled Sept. 22. after Keen is said to have failed at least one drug screen – testing positive for opiates – and overdosed on heroin while on community control sanctions. According to court records, she violated the terms of her probation less than eight days after her Sept. 14 sentencing. Keen was indicted in March for allegedly having her child present during manufacturing of methamphetamine, according to As-

Soil fertility and nutrient workshop

Tecumseh Point will be the Living History Hike’s ﬁnal destination.

Living History Hike with Darke Co. Parks

GREENVILLE – On Nov. 7, 1 p.m., join a naturalist to travel back in time and learn about Greenville’s rich cultural background. Throughout the program, the group will tour many of the Darke County Parks that celebrate that history. The hike will begin at the Anthony Wayne Peace Council House at Prairie Ridge Meadow across from the Garst Museum and will feature fascinating information about the treaties signed near the Fort at Greenville and ar-

tifact details. Afterwards, the walking tour continues, meandering along the creek towards Tecumseh Point. The tour will periodically stop and explore the history of the surrounding area. Wear your walking shoes as this program treks over pavement, trail, and everything in between. For any questions about this hike or any other programs offered by the Darke County Parks District, call the Nature Center at 5480165 or visit www.darkecountyparks.org.

GREENVILLE – Sandra Dunn of the American Red Cross will be at the Greenville Public Library on Nov. 5 at 6:30 p.m. to teach Citizen CPR. The course is free and open to the public. Registration is not required, but appreciated. Visit the Library’s Facebook Event Page or call 548-3915 for more information. The purpose of the course is to teach untrained bystanders how to perform hands-only CPR. Having more citizen bystanders trained in this simple skill can help save

lives by putting more cardiac arrest victims within a few steps of lifesaving assistance. Sandra shares some important facts. When a person’s heart stops, brain death occurs in as little as 8-10 minutes. The national average response time for an ambulance is 10 minutes. Research shows that the shorter the time from collapse to when CPR is initiated, the greater the chance of survival in a cardiac arrest emergency. Refreshments will be served.

VERSAILLES – As the farm economy becomes tighter and the environmental pressure greater on farmers, understanding your soil fertility and nutrient needs becomes ever so important. The Darke Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) will again be hosting the Soil Fertility & Nutrient Management Workshop Series beginning in November. This is a four-part workshop that begins with the basics and ends with a farm plan for up to 50 acres on your farm. For a mere $20.00, you can register, but space is limited. Register early to guarantee your spot in this workshop geared toward helping farmers better understand soil needs and efﬁcient nutrient use. The Darke SWCD along with its partners at Shelby SWCD, OSU Extension, Otte Ag LLC, and Wright State-Lake Campus are excited to announce another round of this workshop series. Your $20 registration includes meals, reference materials, two soil samples and (new for this year) two

soil health tests. Thanks to partners and other funding sources, they are able to offer this at an affordable rate of $20. The workshop series will be held at the Versailles School with a tour of Brookside Lab in New Bremen. Here are the important dates to remember: Nov. 17, Dec. 15, Jan. 12 and 26. All meetings, except for the December meeting, will be held from 6-9 p.m. The lab tour in December will begin at 10 a.m. Each workshop will begin with a meal followed by presentations related to environmental stewardship, basic agronomy, commercial fertilizers vs. manures, nitrogen testing, Tri-State Fertility Recommendations, the fertilizer value of manure, and development of a farm plan based on the Tri-State Spreadsheet. Participants will be given a binder full of reference materials, record sheets and each speaker’s presentation. The binder is meant to be a tool and reference guide when the workshop is complete.

EUM welcomes community to annual S.H.I.N.E. event GREENVILLE – The EUM Church hosted its annual S.H.I.N.E. event Oct. 25 on the grounds of the Worship Center on Sater Street in Greenville. The annual alternative to trick-or-treat event is free and open to the community… offering many different activities for the whole family. Nearly 1,000 children made their way around several stations as they learned about a different story of the Bible before receiving a candy treat. In addition to the storytelling stations, EUM offered a wagon ride to the ‘Pumpkin Patch’ – where the children were able to pick their very own pump-

Great fall weather led to great Halloween trafﬁc BOB ROBINSON

ASSOCIATE EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – A crisp, sunny fall day brought out ghouls, goblins, superheroes and more for two hours of trick-or-treating throughout much of Darke County Oct. 25. In Greenville, there was even the traditional villain and hero, along with an occasional nerd. Hannah, for instance, was Little Red Riding Hood; Halie was the Big Bad Wolf looking for an easy lunch. Little Brother Alex decided to be Bat Man, but didn’t say if he was going to “save” big sis. Maddox was in full uniform as a police ofﬁcer, and Chloe asked for her sugary offerings as a Nerd. Disappearing down one street was a girl wearing a dress made of pink bubbles. From 2 to 4 p.m. young and old dressed up for the

traditional “give me a treat or I’ll trick you” gambit that ﬁlled baskets, plastic pumpkins and paper or plastic bags with candy and other treats. Kit Kats, Reese’s Cups, pretzels, gum, cupcakes and more were among the offerings. Many residents set up elaborate displays with a variety of treats from which to choose. “Trafﬁc has been heavy,” said several residents as they watched their supplies dwindle toward the end of the two-hour time span. Most families planned to spend the entire two hours on the street; some, like the family from Philipsburg, will be leaving Greenville and taking advantage of their local events. All indicated they’ll be going after the goodies from businesses following the Early Bird/ Bluebag Media’s Halloween Parade that was held Oct. 29.

Free cancer lecture slated GREENVILLE – Fight Cancer with Your Fork will feature Susan Silberstein, PhD, founder/president of Center for Advancement in Cancer Education. The free lecture will take place on Nov. 11, 7 p.m., at Lighthouse Christian Center, 5256 Sebring-Warner Road, Greenville. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Dr. Silberstein is the author of the books Hungry for Health and Hungrier for Health. She is a nationally-recognized lecturer on nutrition and cancer and creator of the video, Breast Cancer: The Diet Connection. Dr. Silberstein is also the editor of Immune Perspectives magazine.

LUNCH SERVED EVERY THURSDAY

GREENVILLE – “It’s fantastic to see this support from our fathers,” said Woodland Heights Elementary Principal Jody Harter. Her husband Todd and their three girls were also at the ﬁrst Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) event of the year on Oct. 22, kicking off the third year of the program. More than 325 dads, grandfathers and uncles showed up with their Woodland students to show their support. “The turnout is a lot bigger this year,” she added. “The comments I hear from parents leaving were that they had fun.” Last year about 275 adult males showed up for the kick-off event. Chief Watch D.O.G. Tom Warner said it takes

the community… it takes community response. “People stop me at football games, in the store… We’ve already had some Watch D.O.G.S. out here this year.” Warner said he didn’t know how many adults would actually sign up. He handed out the registration forms that night. All that’s being requested is a commitment of a day… a half a day… whatever the adult is able to provide. Volunteer at the school as a Watch D.O.G. Greenville Schools Superintendent Douglas Fries said he thought the Watch D.O.G. program was an outstanding idea, having male ﬁgures being part of the program. “They are a positive inﬂuence, they add security… but most important, they are more involved.”

The Watch D.O.G. program started two years earlier and has grown each year since then. Two years prior to that, the only male ﬁgure on campus was Mr. Burns, the custodian. The following year there were some male substitute teachers on campus. Male presence and inﬂuence continues to

UCCHS SADD club holds red balloon launch CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY, Ind. – The Union City Community High School’s SADD program held a balloon launch Thursday to recognize national Red Ribbon Week. Each of the 50 balloons contained a card that read… “Say No to Drugs! Good choices can take you far! Let us know how far this message & balloon made it!” The card also contained the address for the school and email for the SADD club. Even with high winds, most all of the red balloons made it over the trees near the high school. In addition to the antidrug campaign, the launch also symbolized the end of Anti Bullying Month. SADD Advisor Kelly Holmes and student members executed several ideas throughout the month of October to bring awareness to bully-

ing and other issues facing teens today. The ideas included, a comment tag that students could tear off and read to help build conﬁdence and a positive message on the mirror of

the girls bathroom… reminding those who read it how “beautiful they look today” and other inspiration terms. To learn more about the UCCHS SADD program,

K-8 work will continue “inside” when winter hits BOB ROBINSON

ASSOCIATE EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The K-8 building continues to “track” on schedule, said Greenville City Schools Superintendent Doug Fries. That means work should be done, as expected, by Nov. 16, 2016. On the south end (grades 5-8, closest to East Main Street) crews are putting steel in so they can pour concrete. Once that is ﬁnished, they’ll block the walls and then put on the roof. On the north end, masons continue to lay block for the base. The middle, which includes the “high” gyms, the common areas, the mechanical area and the kitchen, is currently being “dried”… Drying seals the work areas so rain, snow and ice won’t come in. This, in turn, allows crews to work inside when winter hits. “Our goal is to dry as much as possible,” Fries said. “We want to have the whole middle and south end dried so we can work

Some of the completed prep work includes graveling, as shown here for one of three planned entrances to the K-8 facility, as well as grading the sports ﬁelds north of the building. (Bob Robinson photo)

regardless of the weather.” Much of the site work has been completed. The sports ﬁelds on the north end have been graded, and the entrances to the school (there will be three) have been graveled. The building has 150 geothermal wells to relieve utilities expenses. The wells have been drilled and loops are currently being set up to tie them together. Other current work includes putting in exterior light post bases, duct work,

electrical conduit, door frames, fascia (connector between the top of the siding and the underside of the connecting structure), gutter work and sprinkler pipes. The ﬁre hydrants are being tested by the Greenville Fire Department. “I’m very satisﬁed with the direction of our teams,” Fries said. “It’s all going together well.” The opening months of the high school have been going smoothly, Fries added. The new Career Tech

Lab, which is funded by a different grant through the state legislature, is wrapping up. Major areas of improvements included renovation of the music area and science rooms, cafeteria (the kitchen is new), business ofﬁces, new roof, heating and air, carpeting, painting throughout and more. Visitors will be able to see the improvements during the high school’s open house, Saturday, October 31 9-11 and Sunday, November 1 2-4.

VHCC challenged to perform RAOK

VERSAILLES – The staff of Versailles Health Care Center was recently participated in a RAOK (Random Acts of Kindness) Challenge! Staff was challenged to have a positive effect on the life of someone through the RAOK Challenge! The challenge was to pay it forward by doing something kind for ﬁve people and then asking the recipients of your kindness to do the same, and “pay it forward.” Many staff members graciously accepted the challenge and completed some of the following acts: helped change a tire; gave her seat to an elderly person; mowed a neighbor’s lawn; helped someone load his groceries; shared fresh produce with neighbors; baked a cake for a resident; and gave a friend a few dollars. Staff members who participated in the RAOK Challenge were entered to win a free family fun pack for the Great Darke County Fair valued at $100. The winner was Anna Taylor, of Greenville. “We are blessed to have such caring employees who go above and beyond in caring for others on a daily basis. I was excited for Anna Taylor to win! She has been a nursing assistant with Versailles Health Care Center for the last 14 years. She is an extremely dedicated employee and exempliﬁes our company motto, ‘We are Family Serving Families’. I can’t think of anyone more deserving to win this family fun pack than Anna,” said Kristy Earick, administrator at Versailles Health Care Center.

The Flat Iron is a designated site ARCANUM – The third designated historic building featured by The Arcanum Wayne Trail Historical Society is The Flat Iron, which is now the Rose Post, 111 W. George St., Arcanum. William Gunder was the original lot owner in 1851 and the building was constructed in 1865. The unique shape, like a flat iron, is the reason behind the structure’s name and has been many establishments and businesses throughout its long period in Arcanum history. This building was one of the first businesses to be erected in Arcanum. According to the Arcanum Business Book by Anita Short, we find the Shafer Bakery & Confectionery from 1882-1885.

Lodge hosts annual supper

NEW MADISON – The annual Fall Harvest Supper will be held at the Ft. Black Masonic Lodge, New Madison, on Nov. 10. Serving begins at 5 p.m. in the lodge dining room. The menu will feature turkey and ham with all the trimmings including mashed potatoes, corn, green beans and deserts. The proceeds from the supper will be used to support Masonic community charities, events, and activities. The public is welcomed.

Fresh bread, cakes, pies, etc. All kinds of fancy baking was done to order for parties, weddings, etc. This was in the (Arcanum Tribune, August 5, 1882) Other businesses and stores include saloons, hotels, shoemaking shop, Emma Smith Millinery, The Weekly Times (later Arcanum Times), piano store, real estate, and a tire store. There are not clear records, but a mention of a lean-to on the rear of the old Schafer building (Flat Iron) on West George Street, across the track from the Dayton and Union Station. Per the Arcanum Times, Thursday, September 11, 1952 there is mention of the 100 year old building being converted into living quarters. Per Arcanum…A Secret Place book we read the place could have been a chewing gum factory. Presently, Rose Lambert operates and owns the Rose Post, a unique ﬂower shop. Rose has been here since 1995 making and selling ﬂower arrangements for all occasions. Unique seems to be the word as there has been a variety of businesses here since 1865. This building sits west of the old John Smith Company General Store and the railroad track went by the west side of the Flat Iron building with the
