If the city of Greenville annexes the county’s newest industrial park in the future, Erwin Bros. would be required to add a third lane if council doesn’t alter its contract for sewer and water.

Erwins continue to ask council for change RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – For the second time in consecutive weeks, the developers of a truck stop at the US Route 127 and State Route 49 intersection, Marc and Mike Erwin of Erwin Bros. LLC, left a Greenville City Council meeting without having a contract changed requiring the business to install a third lane on the roadway if their property is annexed into the city. Erwin Bros. must agree to the contract if they want to connect to city sewer and water, which would need to be done before the business can open. Marc Erwin addressed council and asked for relief from the stipulation. He explained the Ohio De-

partment of Transportation, who is building in the same industrial park, was not given the same obligations for road widening to receive sewer and water. Erwin referenced the preannexation agreement signed between the Darke County Commission and the city and questioned why he wasn’t given the same consideration. Erwin suggested it would be impossible to widen the road in several spots without needing to move water and sewer lines. Council President John Burkett explained when the city entered into the pre-annexation agreement with the commissioners in 2014 the city was unaware of any other “things happening in that area.” Erwin said, “You knew stuff was building out there. If you’re build-

ing a road, what do you think is going to happen out there? Nothing?” If the property is ever annexed into the city, Erwin Bros. would be responsible for building over 1,000 feet of roadway, which would stop 300feet short of a retention pond where development cannot take place. Without development, Erwin believes that portion of road would never be widened. He also pointed out the city would be required to widen the road from the northern edge of his property to State Route 49 because he doesn’t own it and the city would have the right-of-way. “If you don’t want to take this out then sign a paper that says you won’t sell to me,” Erwin said. The refusal to sell services would give Erwin Bros.

the opportunity drill a well and add a septic system. The city contends the pre-annexation agreement with Erwin Bros. is in its best interest and will alleviate issues in the future. Erwin said, “You’re holding this over my head to get water and sewer.” City Law Director Eric Brand responded, “It’s not being held over your head.” The exchange continued with Erwin asking if they knew how much this is going to cost in the future. “I’m sure I don’t and neither do you,” said Brand. Council suggested Erwin Bros. meet with the Darke County Commission and ODOT to come up with an agreement for paying for the road widening project if the property is ever annexed.

Trick-or-Treat food drive nets record donation SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

ARCANUM – Several area food pantries will benefit from a Trick or Treat food drive, sponsored by the high school National Honor Society and middle school Student Council students at Arcanum Schools. Students, staff and community members participated in the week-long drive, which culminated with NHS students going house-to-house in Arcanum during the village’s regularly scheduled Trickor-Treat on Sunday, Oct. 30, to collect food items. “This is the most we’ve ever collected,” said Jason Stephan, high school principal, of the nearly 8,000 cans, boxes and pouches of non-perishable foods. Several local food pantries will benefit from the drive, including Faith United Methodist, Castine Church of the Brethren and Emanuel Baptist, Stephan said. “The National Honor

Society has been sponsoring the Trick-or-Treat drive for five years. The middle school Student Council joined in this year,” he explained. “We ask the kids to bring a variety of food items. Some donate money.” Stephan said students and staff donated $400 for this year’s drive. Again this year, Sutton’s Foods participated by matching the amount of food purchased with the monetary donations. “We’ve been a partner with the school for the last five years,” said Josh Urlage, Sutton’s vice president. This was the first year the middle school student council joined in with the NHS food drive, explained adviser Nicki Bowser. “We normally do a drive at Thanksgiving time.” “I think it was cool,” said eighth-grader Aidan O’Brien of the middle school joining forces with the high school. Seventh-grader Madelyn Fearon said she was pleased with the outcome

of the drive. “I’m happy we brought in a lot” of food items, she said. Stephan said Arcanum promotes service-leadership opportunities for its students, not only while they are enrolled in school but also to take with them as they move on with their lives after high school. Right now, finding ways to help those in their community who may be in need is at the forefront, say several senior NHS members. “It’s a great opportunity to do something for our own community,” said Brittany Kinney. “We are a small community and we can use it for our own advantage,” pointed our Allison Moore of the Trick-or-Treat service project. National Honor Society adviser Tim Fair was pleased with how his students stepped up to plan the 2016 food drive. “The kids did a great job. They took on the responsibility and went with it. The entire student body did a great job bringing

Arcanum High School National Honor Society and Middle School Student Council members, along with school staff and Suttons Vice President Josh Urlage, gather around food items donated during the recent Trick-or-Treat Food Drive. Nearly 8,000 items were collected for local food banks. (Susan Hartley photo)

stuff in during the week.” Margaret Craig, food pantry coordinator for Faith United Methodist Church is thrilled about the donations being made by the students and community members. “I think it’s great. We’ve gotten food every year. It’s a good time to get the donations because of the upcoming holidays,” she said. Craig said not only do community members contact the church pantry weekly for food items, her church also works with the

school to provide holiday meals for between 6-12 families in need during the holidays. Weekly, Craig said, between 10 and 20 individuals will call on Wednesdays to place their order, with pick up taking place on Thursdays. “We also have a voucher from Suttons so they can purchase bread and milk or a pound of hamburger,” she explained. The food pantries in the Arcanum area, Craig said, also receive donations year-round from food

drives hosted by the By Scouts and the Post Office. Stephan said he would like to “thank the students, parents, staff and community for the support of this program.” Arcanum senior Franchesca Hackworth said she believes participating in activities like the food drive shows “the importance of our community. We’ll always be there for each other and help each other.” Fellow senior Shelby Horzsa agrees. “It’s an awesome thing we do.”

being tired and he couldn’t carry a conversation without falling asleep. She told the ofďŹ cer Spires had a prior drug history but she thought he was clean now. After Spires was brought to the hospital the woman located a syringe on the passenger oor board of her vehicle. She said it must have fallen out of Spires’ pocket. Hospital staff told the ofďŹ cer Spires was unresponsive when he came in on a stretcher. He was given NARCAN two times before he ďŹ nally responded. Spires agreed to speak with the ofďŹ cer and said he last remembered snorting one capsule of heroin before his friend picked him up, but had limited memory past that point. He said he remembered buying $60 worth of heroin and some marijuana and recalled using a syringe at some point. The ofďŹ cer removed a black duffel bag belonging to Spires from his friend’s car and searched it for weapons before placing it in Spires hospital room with his other possessions. The ofďŹ cer advised Spires the police department would be in contact with him regarding any charges for possessing the syringe. The case was submitted to the prosecutor’s ofďŹ ce for further review for charges. TrafďŹ c Stop/Open Container On Oct. 29 an ofďŹ cer conducted a trafďŹ c stop at East Main Street and Ash Street for a headlight defect violation. Stetson Hall, 24, of Brookville was a passenger in the back seat. The ofďŹ cer observed an open container of beer in Hall’s hand. Hall appeared to be intoxicated and admitted the beer was his. The beer was cold to the touch and approximately half full. The liquid substance inside the can had the odor and appearance of beer. The operator of the vehicle was given a warning for the headlight defect violation. Hall was cited for having an open container in a motor vehicle and released from the scene. On Oct. 29, an ofďŹ cer conducted a trafďŹ c stop on North Main Street at Spring Street. The ofďŹ cer made contact with the driver, Dorian Wolfe and passenger, Kristin Swartz. Swartz told the ofďŹ cer she might have an open warrant for an unpaid trafďŹ c citation. Upon running both subjects through LEADS/ NCIC, dispatch said

!

Swartz did have an active warrant for her arrest out of Montgomery County for Brookville Police Department. Swartz was placed under arrest on the warrant for failure to appear out of Montgomery County Municipal Court with a bond of $1,500. She was transported to the county line and transferred to an ofďŹ cer from the Brookville Police Department. Found Property On Nov. 2 an ofďŹ cer was called to the Greenville City School’s Bus Barn on Markwith in reference to a girls pink and black Mongoose mountain bike found next to the bus barn. School Transportation Director Andrew Grasty told the ofďŹ cer a bus driver reported seeing the bike lying in the grass next to the bus barn. The bike was transported and placed into police property. Wanted Person On Oct. 29, an ofďŹ cer parked on the side of the road on Front Street near Markwith Avenue. The ofďŹ cer had prior knowledge a vehicle in the area was often used for criminal activity. The ofďŹ cer stopped and made contact with the occupants in the vehicle. Kaye Trittschuh was in the vehicle and found to have an active felony warrant for her arrest out of the Darke County Court for probation violation. Trittschuh was placed under arrest and transported to the Darke County Jail and incarcerated without bond. On Oct. 31, Ryan Hiestand came to the Greenville Police Department lobby with a felony warrant for a probation violation from his original charge of grand theft of an automobile. Hiestand was arrested after the warrant was conďŹ rmed and was transported to the Darke County Sheriff’s OfďŹ ce to await pick-up by Shelby County. DUI On Oct. 30, Johnetta Guinn of Columbus was observed by a Greenville Police ofďŹ cer operating a vehicle traveling east bound in the 1100 block of Russ Road. The vehicle moved into the center turn lane as if it were preparing to turn north bound into the Comfort Inn parking lot. The vehicle left its lane of travel and crossed into the west bound lane causing the ofďŹ cer to slow down and move over in order to avoid striking Gwinn’s car.

Gwinn turned into the ofďŹ cer’s lane of travel and stalled in the roadway. The ofďŹ cer conducted a trafďŹ c stop for the lanes of travel violation. Upon contact with the defendant, the ofďŹ cer detected a strong odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. The ofďŹ cer also detected a moderate odor of an alcoholic beverage inside the vehicle and the defendant’s eyes appeared to be glossy. The defendant said she had consumed two alcoholic beverages throughout the evening and she denied smoking marijuana but said a person who was in her car earlier had smoked it. Gwinn was asked to exit the vehicle and perform ďŹ eld sobriety tests in which she agreed and did poorly. Gwinn was placed under arrest for OVI. Upon a probable cause search of the vehicle, a bag of marijuana was located in the center console of the vehicle. Gwinn was transported to the Greenville Police Department

where she refused to submit to a breath sample. She was placed under an administrative license suspension. According to LEADS/NCIC, Gwinn has a prior OVI conviction in 2008. The defendant was cited for OVI and lanes of travel and was transported back to the Comfort Inn, where she was staying. The suspected marijuana was seized as evidence and placed into property.

ON YOUR MIND

Big government hurting drug market In recent weeks, much concern has been raised about the EpiPen, an epinephJIM BUCHY rine auto OHIO REPRESENTATIVE injector produced by the pharmaceutical company, Mylan. Epinephrine is an inexpensive means of counteracting potentially life-threatening allergic reactions. If administered quickly, epinephrine saves lives. However, despite the low cost of epinephrine, the EpiPen has skyrocketed in price, exceeding $300 per pen. This financial burden is unacceptable and completely avoidable when considering the cost of production and the lives that could be saved. In all this confusion, many are blaming capitalism, and are frustrated with the government for not doing enough to regulate the price of these pharmaceuticals. Yet, the problem could not be further from this claim. It is burdensome government regulation that has led us to this point, not capitalism itself. Mylan currently holds a patent on the EpiPen, protecting it from competitors or generics entering the market with similar designs. In addition, the Food and Drug Administration forces competitors to jump through a number of hoops before taking their product to market. The process for getting a pharmaceutical product approved by the FDA can take years, and the guidelines for submit-

ting applications to do so are too vague. This is not even including the backlog of over 4,000 generic drug applications awaiting FDA approval, placing an even larger hurdle in the way of alternatives. This regulatory burden has ultimately created a de facto monopoly for Mylan, which allows them to raise prices to unbearable levels, restricting access to the EpiPen for lowincome individuals. The enemy here is crony capitalism and monopolization, not the free market. In fact, the free market is the solution. By allowing new generics to compete, many of which have already been approved in other countries, prices can return to reasonable levels by way of the forces of the market. Recently, there has been talk of a ballot issue coming to Ohio next year that would seek to implement price controls on prescription drugs purchased through the State of Ohio. However, we must understand and remember that these price controls do not truly address the problem, and can lead to unintended economic consequences. It is unacceptable that lifesaving drugs have been made so unaffordable. We, as Ohioans, must place blame where it is due and stop allowing big government to protect monopolies in the drug market. Please give me your opinion on this topic and other issues in the news by completing a brief online survey at tinyurl. com/buchyoctober2016

OHSAA Commissioner Dave Gray, Jerry Lucas, Clark Kellogg and basketball GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

ARCANUM – Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) Commissioner Dave Gray, an Arcanum native stands ďŹ fth on the all-time scoring list for all divisions of ‘State Tournament Individual Game Scoring Records’ for Ohio boys basketball tournament play and stands alone at the top as the alltime rebound leader. “I had good teammates that got me the ball,â€? said Gray. “It was a day when one of my teammates wasn’t playing so well so they had to come to me a little bit more often. I was just blessed to have a really good day.â€? “The bottom line was, we needed to win the game because we had to get to the next day, the ďŹ nal and that was the big thing,â€? Gray continued. “It was one of those days. I think I only missed a couple of shots all day. It was exciting, that was for sure.â€? Former Ohio State Buckeye and NBA standouts, Jerry Lucas and Clark Kellogg own three of the top four scoring records. Middletown’s Jerry Lucas holds 1st place with 53 points against Cleveland East Tech in 1956 and 4th place with 46 points scored against Toledo Macomber in 1957. Clark Kellogg, playing for Cleveland St. Joseph holds the No. 2 spot with 51 points against Columbus East from 1979. Upper Sandusky’s Jon Diebler comes in at third with 48 points scored against Dayton Dunbar in 2007. Arcanum’s Dave Gray rounds out the top ďŹ ve games with a 45 point 1969 game against Portsmouth Clay. Known for his scoring, Gray holds the All-Time rebound record in OHSAA State Tournament play. “I was as proud of that (rebounding record at state) as I was of scoring because that was my job‌ to get in there and get on the board,â€? Gray stated. “I had 20 some each game‌ 40 some boards in two games.â€? Gray, a four year starter for the Arcanum basketball

team played on the 1967 state runner-up squad and led the Trojans to the 1969 State Championship game in an 84-59 win over Bridgeport to close out the season with a 25-2 record. The 1969 championship team, coached by Richard Graeff had a starting ďŹ ve of Dave Gray and Steve Christ both listed at 6’6â€? while Jim Troutwine and Frank Cheadle each stood 6’1â€? and Gary Riegle came in at 5’11â€?; a tall team for the 60s. “They are all still around the Arcanum area,â€? Gray said of his teammates. “Every once in a while we see each other. “It’s just a great time lying to each other and remembering‌ we did have it or didn’t have it.â€? “He was very special,â€? Gray said of his high school coach Richard Graeff. “Dick Graff; a lot of people didn’t know basically was a football player when he came to Arcanum and got started in with basketball.â€? “He was such a great gentleman,â€? noted Gray. “He was always so personable with people and that was part of his thing, but when it came to getting things done‌he got it done. You wanted to play hard for Coach Graeff.â€? After graduation from Arcanum, Gray went on to start all four years at Earlham College and still holds many school season and career records while averaging 20 points and nearly 12 rebounds per game good for a double-double over four years of play. Standing 6’6â€?, Gray was the tallest player on his Earlham team but never slammed or hit a threepointer as neither were in play in that era of high school and college ball. “I didn’t shoot many from the three point line‌ there was no three point shot,â€? said Gray. “My grandson asks me about slam dunking‌how many dunks did you have?â€? “Dunk was illegal at the time when I was in high school and that was all through my college playing days,â€? added Gray. “There was no slam dunking‌no three point basket.â€? Gray had opportunities to go on and play DI college ball but chose Earlham due

to a college rule at the time that did not permit college freshmen to start. “I was the tallest guy on the team and that is one of the reasons I went there,â€? Gray shared. “I had some D-I offers but at that time, if you went D-I you could not start your freshman year. You had to sit back at that time but the NAIA, which Earlham was at that time gave full scholarships.â€? “I got a scholarship but I could also start and I thought I don’t want to go someplace and sit on the bench‌never sat on the bench ever in basketball. I don’t want to do that now and he (Earlham Coach Del Harris) told me you come here you can play in the middle. That’s where I wanted to play with my back to the basket which I thought was my strength. That worked out very well.â€? Dave’s son Jim Gray followed in his father’s footsteps playing for some good Trojans basketball teams from 1991-94. “I played in the 90s,â€? said son Jim Gray. “John Stephens our Superintendent (Arcanum) was on my team, he was our guard.

was on our team. We had a good team. “We used to joke that I was going to try to beat his (father’s) record but I never did. I’m still known as Dave’s boy‌now I’m known as the bald one,â€? Jim said with a chuckle. “It was always kind of a tradition in our family‌we grew up with basketball.â€? “I went all over the state with him with OHSAA and we talked a lot,â€? Jim pointed out. “He was a good mentor to me growing up and he was very positive. It was looked at as a challenge to play in his footsteps. I always wanted to try make mom and dad proud because I knew he had such a great career.â€? Jim’s conversation quickly turned to his son, Carter Gray and his father returning home from his OHSAA Commissioner job in Columbus to watch his grandson play basketball for the Trojans. “Now with Carter playing,â€? stated Jim, “I can see dad excited about going to basketball and coming back and watching him. He said he is going to make it back every Friday and Saturday night.â€? Carter Gray, grandson of Dave is a freshman at Arcanum High School and comes off back-to-back undefeated junior high basketball seasons playing for the Trojans. The incoming freshman class owns a 38-0 record spanning two seasons. “Pretty special,â€? Dave said of his grandchildren. “They (Arcanum junior high team) went through the last two years of junior high and never lost a game.â€? “He (Carter) has a passion for the game and

Steve Christ has a grandson on the team. Between the two of them‌they are both tall and people say, well maybe coming up. Well you never know. Kids are great but grandkids are super because they go home at night and you are very proud of them,â€? Dave said with a smile. Gray took time to reect on his career, his success and shared some pointers for today’s athletes. “You’ve got to work hard and in the offseason‌ that’s the key to basketball,â€? said Gray. “Not just during the months when you are playing games. You’ve got to work.â€? “I’ve told my grandson numerous times‌you’ve got to put in an hour or two a day in the summers. We used to go up‌this is way back when, before you really had open gym per say, and we would go up‌ all of us Monday through Thursday night and we would meet up at the gym in the summer. We would play for a couple hours almost every night.â€? “At that time we didn’t have any supervisor. We would go over and get the keys from Coach Graeff and then we would get in there. The open doors were to West at that time of the school and I remember him telling us‌he’d say, ‘don’t open the door, don’t open the door‌don’t let people know you are in there. We would go in and play and give the keys back to him. It would be 110 degrees in that gym but we were all dedicated and wanted to get better.â€? “You’ve got to play in the off season and the other thing is you just have to have the passion for the game,â€? added Gray. “I

love the game and I played baseball and was in track and after school I played some golf but basketball was the passion. You have to have that passion and if you have the passion and the ability to work and you have some God given ability, you have a really good combination.â€? While at Earlham, former NBA coach Del Harris was Gray’s basketball coach. After coaching nine years at Earlham, Harris served as a head coach for the Houston Rockets, Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers as well as an assistant coach for New Jersey Nets, Chicago Bulls, Dallas Mavericks, Milwaukee Bucks and Houston Rockets. “I just had dinner with him about two weeks ago,â€? Gray said of Harris. “Just a great guy. I learned so much basketball from him. He did tweak my shot a little bit when I got there but it was just a thing of‌ you play hard, you work hard, you’re going to get to start here, you’re going to get to play. He told me that before-hand, so all those things came true and we had an exceptional group of guys over there too. We made it to the National Finals of the NAIA. That was a great experience.â€?

It’s a different game out there but coach prepared us pretty well, so it was a lot of fun.� Playing in his second season for the Jackets, the 6’3� Linkous nailed two three-pointers in the preseason game for the Yellow Jackets. “Worked hard this summer and got in the gym, but more importantly the guys are really good at getting me the ball when I’m open,� Linkous stated. “Coach does a great job of putting me in spots to play my game.� The NCAA Division I Raiders hit a torrid 7-for-10

We just weren’t able to step out and accept the challenge.â€? The Lady Vikings battled back to tie the set at 18-18, 19-19, 20-20 and 21-21 before Versailles would close out set one on a 4-1 run to take a 1-0 match lead with a 25-22 win. Game two saw six ties with the last coming at 1616 as Miami East took advantage of a 9-2 run to close out the second set and even the match at 1-1 with a 2518 win. “They started to run a quicker middle and we were releasing out to their outsides every time,â€? Bruggeman said. “Just a lot of discipline things and that led to us not talking, not working as one. That was very evident on the court.â€? Versailles opened set three with a 3-0 score only to have the Lady Vikings

Miami East took a 3-0 lead to open the fourth set only to have the Lady Tigers even the score at 3-3 and 4-4 while taking their lone lead of the set at 5-4 before the Lady Vikings would begin to pull away doubling the score at 10-5 and 12-6. Versailles would battle back to make it a two point game trailing 21-19 only to

have the Lady Vikings closing out the match on a 4-0 run to win 25-19 and move on in tournament play. “We knew that is was going to be a challenge,â€? Bruggeman stated, “but we really weren’t able to engage ourselves in the game and just go out and take it. “We could have‌we could have taken it.â€? “I like it but not where we ended,â€? Bruggeman said of the 2016 season. “I think we could have went a lot farther‌but lesson learned.â€? “Great group,â€? said Bruggeman of her seniors. “Lot of leadership especially in the off season. They had a drive and a purpose. We just fell short.â€?

Worch Library hosts Alien Autopsy VERSAILLES – Worch Library went all out for Halloween and for the ghosts and goblins of Versailles. The events kicked off with the annual Pumpkin Decorating Contest and finished up with the Alien Autopsy, which revealed why the Alien likes to visit Worch Memorial Public Library. Creatively designed entries were found all around the library for the annual pumpkin judging. The first place winner in the preschool category was Violet Bensman, second was Ace Drees, third was Camden Beisner and honorable mention went to Zane Drees and Harlow Bonnoront. The first place winner in the kindergarten category was Arian Drees,

second was Zachary Brewer, third was Elle DeMange and honorable mention went to Ben Bernholt. In the lower elementary category the first place winner was Kate Bernholt, second was Seth Bergman, third place was Cole Brewer and honorable mention went to Isley DeMange. Upper elementary winner was Hannah Brewer, second was Colin Batten, third was Julia Bergman and honorable mention went to Evan Weaver. The winner in the fifth and sixth grade category was Lauren Bergman, second was Emily Delzeith, third was Emma Marlow and honorable mention went to Josie Marlow. The winner in the jr. high category was Dustin Janson,

second was Paige Brewer and third was Miriam Gehret. The high school winner was Jenni Marlow. In the family category the winner was Betty Byrd, second went to Stacy DeMange, third place was Meme Marlow and honorable mention went to Elizabeth Farver. At the Alien Autopsy, participants watched while Mad Scientist Betty and her assistant, Alec, completely examined the different Alien body parts and even tasted a few. It was also revealed that the reason the Alien likes to visit Worch Library is because she likes to read, which is why most people visit the library. Maybe aliens and humans are not so different. In addition to

watching the amusing and educational autopsy, participants received a goody bag to take home. Thank you to everyone that helped make this year’s celebration a great success, including the Friends of the Library and the Library WOW Factor Kids. Friends sponsor the Halloween celebrations, including the Pumpkin Decorating Contest, which has had cash prizes for the last couple of years. WOW Factor is a group of upper grade students that volunteer to help out with things at the library.

Veach’s Toy Station celebrating kid play RICHMOND, Ind. On Neighborhood Toy Store Day, Nov. 12, Veach’s will celebrate the importance of play in a child’s life and the benefits of shopping small business. During a day filled with crafts, games, and signings by local authors of children’s books, families experienced hands-on play opportunities with the best toys for the holiday season. Veach’s also unveiled the 2016 Best Toys for Kids Award winners list, which recognizes toys that deliver exceptional value and expand a child’s imagination and creativity. “The 2016 Best Toys for Kids Award list is created by members of the American Specialty Toy Retailing Association (ASTRA), experts in play,” said John Veach, third generation

owner of Veach’s Toy Station. Veach explained, “Most of the toys we carry are not advertised on television. They are quality toys made by small manufacturers and most are only available at independent toy stores.” Neighborhood Toy Store Day highlighted the importance of shopping at your local independent toy store, where experienced staff, excellent customer service, and top quality toys are the norm. Veach’s Toy Station is located in historic downtown Richmond and has been family-owned since its beginning in 1938.

Final Art at the Mill for 2016 opens 11/11 GREENVILLE – The final “Art At the Mill” exhibit of this year will feature pottery by The Millrace Potters along with the creative photographs of Margie McCullough and fascinating multimedia paintings by her husband James.

tention with their graceful shapes and striking colors,” she concluded. James and Margie McCullough maintain studios in Beavercreek and New Smyrna Beach, Fla., depending upon the season. Margie started taking photographs at age nine, and has a life-long love affair with black and white photography. Although she works with different photographic processes including manipulated color digital work, she will be displaying photographs taken in black and white and then hand-colored to achieve an appealing effect. Using bright and bold colors, Jim develops abstract paintings that contain an element of tension or playfulness using a variety of paints including oil, acrylic, automotive paint, and industrial inks and dyes. Juxtaposing bright colors with subdued hues and matte surfaces with high gloss, he sees an endless number of variations to his basic theme. The Millrace Potters Collective artists Julie Clark, Rita Wiley, and Loretta Wray were inspired by the challenge of “Unthrown” to make objects from clay using only simple hand tools. According to Ms. Clark, hand building is the oldest, most basic and versatile way to make clay objects. No-wheel techniques such as pinching, coiling, slab-building, carving and sculpting create endless possibilities for the potters, good friends who share technical information, research, labor, and at times studios. Items on display will include bottles, trays, vases, mugs, and candleholders, as well as Julie Clark’s new line of black porcelain jewelry. Bear’s Mill is open 11 a.m. till 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and 1 p.m. till 5 p.m. Sundays. Historic Bear’s Mill is owned and operated by Friends of Bear’s Mill, a non-profit organization, and is located at 6450 Arcanum-Bear’s Mill Road about 5 miles east of Greenville.

Thom is the well-known historical fiction novelist of Follow the River, Long Knife, The Red Heart, Sign-Talker, From Sea to Shining Sea, and Panther in the Sky among many others. Fire in the Water follows the story of two decidedly different men traveling together to pay their respects to one of America’s most beloved presidents after our nation’s deadliest war.

Its synopsis reads “Early in the Civil War, when Abraham Lincoln shook Paddy Quinn’s hand, grinned and winked at him, the war correspondent felt as if he’d been given a medal. At the end of the war, “Father Abraham” lies dead by an assassin’s bullet, but Quinn’s writing hand still feels that grip, “like warm iron,” pulling him. He gets himself assigned to cover the President’s burial in Springfield, Illinois for Harper’s Weekly, and boards the doomed steamboat Sultana to go up river and write Lincoln’s elegy. Private Robbie Macombie, a deathly sick prisoner of war, always felt he was soldiering not for “the Union,” but for Abe Lin-

coln, who grew up just like him laboring in hardscrabble frontier Indiana. That sense of kinship makes him want to go to the funeral more than home, if he can stay alive long enough. And so the two war-addled men join like converging rivers in a life-current strong enough to carry them through the sudden horror of the worst maritime disaster in American history. Historical novelist James Alexander Thom, compassionately creates these two pilgrims as eyewitnesses of that tragedy. Everyone is invited to

attend this exciting book signing at the Shawnee Prairie Preserve Nature Center just west of Greenville on State Route 502. For any questions, call the center at (937) 548-0165. Go to

Last year, dozens of people enjoyed the program. Greenville City Schools is happy to support this wellness activity to benefit residents of the community. Seven and a half laps around the interior hallway loop is equivalent to one mile. The district is pleased to provide a safe, free and warm place for people to walk. The program does not cost the school district extra money because volunteers monitor the walkers and custodians are usually working in the building during the evening. Those interested in walking at the high school are asked to enter by the main entrance by the flagpole, sign in upon arrival and check off their name when leaving. Walkers are asked to walk only on the first floor. No running or jogging is allowed. Also not allowed are wheeled items such as strollers and skateboards. Students under the age of 10 must be accompanied by a parent or adult.

Barbara Skinner, president of the Ladybug Garden Club, presents a donation to Jenny Clark, president of the Friends of the Greenville City Parks.

Ladybugs support city park’s friends GREENVILLE – The Ladybug Garden Club is supporting community beautification with their donation to the Friends of the Greenville City Parks. The Greenville City Parks are not supported by a separate tax levy; the money for city park improvements and maintenance comes from Greenville City Income taxes that are budgeted according to city council. The Friends of the Greenville City Park have formed a non-profit corporation and are accepting donations from individuals, families, and businesses to keep the park beauti-

ful. Barbara Skinner, president of the Ladybug Garden Club is shown making a donation to Jenny Clark, president of Friends of the Greenville City Parks and Barb stated, “We can’t put a price on the memories we all have of our family times in the park and we need to give our support.” The Friends of the Greenville City Park committee is having an Island Dreams Party hosted by the Merchant House Restaurant on Nov. 5 Tickets to the party are $35 per person and includes appetizers, drinks and entertainment.

Celebrate the Cowboy Way with DCCA GREENVILLE – When Darke County Center for the Arts presents Riders in the Sky performing their Salute to Roy Rogers, King of the Cowboys, at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville on Nov. 12, audience members will be given the opportunity to own a very special memento of that performance which begins at 8 p.m. “Our poster promoting the show has earned so many requests from fans hoping to buy it that we decided to give all those attending the show the opportunity to take it home with them,” explained Andrea Jordan, executive director of DCCA. A silent auction will be held, with bids taken prior to the show and continuing through intermission. The highest bidder will be announced and awarded the framed and signed print at the end of the concert. “We first displayed this poster in our booth at the Great Darke County Fair, and were inundated with offers to buy it on the spot; subsequently we have had further inquiries from a large number of people, but we needed to keep it to promote the show,” Ms. Jordan stated. However, after the performance, and after Ranger Doug, Too Slim, Woody Paul, and Joey the CowPolka King have added their signatures, the large and colorful framed picture will have served its initial purpose and can move to a new home; auction

proceeds will provide additional funds supporting DCCA’s programs and services. In addition to the tribute to Roy Rogers, Riders in the Sky will present “Round Up at Kids Corral” for youngsters and their families in a 2 p.m. matinee performance on Nov. 13. “Little cowpokes” will hear the Riders’ awardwinning music from Toy Story 2 and Monsters Inc., and be treated to the quartet’s unique brand of wholesome humor featuring audience participation as well as rope tricks. Tickets for the Sunday matinee are $10, and can be purchased by contacting DCCA at 547-0908, dcca@centerforarts.net, or on-line at www.CenterForArts.net. Additionally, a few seats are available for the Salute to Roy Rogers; those tickets cost $30 and can also be obtained by contacting DCCA. If any remain by show time, tickets will be sold at the door for both shows.

Lehman Chiropractic celebrates 30 years GREENVILLE – Lehman Chiropractic, formerly known as Warner Chiropractic, is celebrating 30 years of providing health care to the residents of Greenville and Darke County. Dr. Alex Warner ďŹ rst established the practice in 1986 after returning to Darke County, following over three years of training at Logan University in St. Louis, Mo. The original staff consisted of one fulltime and one part-time assistant and 15 patients were seen the entire ďŹ rst week of practice. Over the years, the practice grew steadily resulting in the expansion of the ofďŹ ce space from one half of 1300 Chippewa to the purchase of the entire building in 1998. With the increased growth of the patient base, which eventually exceeded 7,000 patient visits yearly, the staff expanded to the current seven chiropractic assistants and business personnel. In 2009, Dr. Kyle Lehman joined the practice as an associate. A native of Union City, Ind., Dr. Lehman also graduated from Logan University with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree and a Master’s degree in Sports Science and Rehabilitation. In 2011, Dr. Lehman purchased the practice from Dr. Warner and over the past few years Lehman Chiropractic has evolved. In addition to providing traditional chiropractic care for the entire family and all ages, Lehman Chiropractic offers sports rehabilitation, physical examinations, massage therapy, nutritional supplements and most recently, deep-tissue laser therapy, which has been proven to be of beneďŹ t in both acute and chronic soft tissue con-

P4P holds meet and greet with new director RYAN BERRY

Open houses being planned for old school buildings SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The public will have the opportunity to visit each of Greenville’s four school buildings slated for demolition during a community-wide open house set for 1-3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3. “We understand the community’s need to say goodbye,” to their old schools, said South Middle School Principal Rhonda Schaar, who spearheaded the open house idea. During a recent meeting, Schaar presented her plan to conduct a South open house. Other school administrators liked the idea and jumped on board, Schaar said. Schaar said teachers have been asked to display current work by their students during the open house. Other plans call for past and present teachers to be on hand to answer questions and guide the public through each building. In October, Schaar said Greenville Public Access TV Channel 5 filmed tours and interviews at each of the four school buildings, Woodland, South, East and the Junior High. Schaar hopes to be able to have the video of each tour playing at each location. Kathy Warvel grew up across the street from South, where she attended K-6th grade and now works as the school secretary. Warvel was one of those interviewed for the Channel 5 project.

“I really have memories of this building,” she said. “We went through the different parts of the building and shared our memories. I could remember each and every creak in the floors.” When South celebrated its 100th anniversary, Warvel helped plan a similar event. And Schaar said copies of a booklet published 25 years ago for South’s 75th anniversary will be available during the Dec. 3 open house. Each building administrator is planning similar events for their school’s open house, Schaar said. More details will be announced as the date grows closer. At Woodland, students are preparing for the big move in January to the new K-8th grade building on Ohio Street, with the PTA selling T-shirts with proceeds going toward the servicing of the new elementary playground equipment, said Principal Jody Harter. Designed by Cavalier Clothing and approved by the PTA, the shirts say “New year, new school, same Wave Pride” with a background of bricks and the Mean Greenie. “We wanted something that would capture the new building,” Harter explained, noting that all Woodland alumni will be welcome to the Dec. 3 community open house. For information on ordering the new Woodland shirts, call the school at 548-1013.

Warm Winter Wear for Darke County kids

GREENVILLE – The employees of the Darke County Sheriff’s Office, through the support of Sheriff Toby L. Spencer, and in conjunction with local law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical professionals have announced plans to host the 16th annual Warm Winter Wear for Darke County Children program. Thanks to generous donations from caring individuals and businesses within our community, Warm Winter Wear is able to provide all Darke County Schools with items they request for their students. New hats, gloves and coats are collected in the dispatch center at the Darke County Sheriff’s Office from Oct. 1 through the middle of November and items are distributed to the schools and local families as orders are filled. Monetary donations are accepted throughout the year; checks should be made payable to Warm Winter Wear and mailed c/o Darke County Sheriff’s Office, 5185 County Home Rd, Greenville, Ohio 45331. With the support and

participation of the local K-Mart from 2000 - 2013, Warm Winter Wear was able to provide over 3,000 coats to children in Darke County. The Darke County Sheriff’s Office now welcomes Wal-Mart as a partner in providing new coats, hats and gloves to children, ages 0-13, who are in need. With their support and participation last year, the Darke County Sheriff’s Office was able to provide over 300 coats to children in Darke County. The Darke County Sheriff’s Office wishes to thank the numerous individuals and businesses throughout the county who have made donations in previous years. Some of the donations they’ve received include new coats, as well as hand-made hats, scarves and gloves. They greatly appreciate the generosity of citizens; the program could not continue without your help. Anyone with questions about this project may contact the Darke County Sheriff’s Office at 937-548-3399, and direct your call to Dispatch.

GREENVILLE – After two months of allowing Darke County’s newest economic development director, former Greenville mayor Mike Bowers, get settled into his position, Partnering for Progress (P4P) held a meet and greet at Bistro Off Broadway on Nov. 2. Community and business leaders from across the county were given an opportunity to speak oneon-one with Bowers as well as each other. While some were P4P partners and understand the importance of business, government and schools coming together to promote an environment conducive for building a strong economy in the county, others were able to learn what the county’s leaders are doing to expand and retain jobs while developing a strong workforce. Bowers explained Darke County, through a strong collaborative of business, government and schools, has been able to retain or grow over 2,000 jobs in the past six years. He further noted those jobs translate to $60 million in payroll and $171 million in capital investments. He asked, “How do we keep that momentum that we’ve got moving?” His answer,

Darke County Economic Development Director Mike Bowers (center) is shown with some of his board and staff members.

“It’s by your investment.” Through the partnerships with P4P, the Darke County Economic Development Office will continue its work with business retention and expansion. He says that will be his focus as the economic director. Although it would be great to have a new business offering a lot of jobs come to Darke County, Bowers believes Darke County is better suited to work with existing businesses on retention and expansion. “The attraction model is not necessarily what we are built for,” he said. He pointed out there is opportunity for attraction with the industrial parks in the county and his office will be putting some time and effort into attracting business, but the

we do” category. Some of these workforce development items have been in place for a few years and include Manufacturing Day Tours of local industry by all Darke County high school juniors, Junior Job Shadow Week, paid internships for students, Senior Straight to Work Day (speed interviews for students), and manufacturer tours for teachers. Wendel admitted the menu of items sounds boring and repetitive, but “boring and repetitive turns into ‘that’s just what we do’ and makes third level institutional change. That’s change you don’t even feel or remember how we started doing it. That’s what I want to happen in Darke County.”

Family Health adding eye clinic to Greenville facility SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville’s Family Health is undergoing a renovation for a new eye clinic to be open by April 1. Since mid-summer, Advanced Eye Care, the practice of Dr. Robert McLear and Dr. Krista Swensen has been seeing patients at their Greenville location under the Family Care umbrella, said Jean Young, executive director for Family Health. The “seed was planted” to add eye care to Family Health’s services, Young said, during a conference in Columbus several years ago. “We put it in our strategic plan in 2008,” she added. Last March, Young said Family Health administra-

tors began the process to open the eye clinic, which included applying for Medicaid and Medicare eligibility for eye care, as well as other processes required by Federally Qualified Health Centers. They received word in October the clinic was a “go,” she said. By April 1 of next year, the eye clinic will open with Drs. McLear and Swenson moving from their Main Street location to Family Health on Meeker Road. “It’s a true honor to have them join our practice,” Young said of McClear and Swenson. The renovation of the original 1987 building at Family Health will include four additional work stations for the practice’s current dental care, as well as the eye clinic. “It will be a typical op-

tometrist’s office,” Young explained, with eye exams and services for contacts, lenses and frames. The eye clinic also will be part of Prevent Ohio Blindness, providing optometry services for children in need. “We’re looking to add two more optometrists, Young said. Family Health accepts most insurance plans, Young said, as well as Medicare and Medicaid. “Due to Governor (John) Kaisch’s expanding Medicare, it’s helped with many patients. The expansion of Medicare has been a wonderful benefit for them,” Young said of children as well as older adults who may work jobs that do not provide health care coverage. Young said Family Health had seen a growth in the number of patients

who now have health insurance benefits, due to the Affordable Care Act. “We’ve seen people be able to come in for more preventative-type care,” she noted. Family Health does offer a sliding scale payment plan for those without complete coverage, as well. Besides dental and eye care, the practice offers a variety of health care services including medical, behavorial health, after hours care and an on-site pharmacy. Family Health also has locations in Arcanum, New Madison and Versailles. For more information about the new Family Health Eye Clinic, call the Greenville office at 548-9680 or check out the practice’s website at www. familyhealthservices.org.

Local Civil War History presented at Garst GREENVILLE – On Nov. 12, the Garst Museum Veterans Day program will feature guest speaker Dr. Edward Haas, Professor of History at Wright State University. Dr. Haas will discuss the importance of the local area’s contribution to the Civil War. The program will also highlight the donation of the Civil War uniform of Captain J.C. Ullery. CPT Ullery was commander of Company G, 110th Ohio Volunteer Infantry (O.V.I.). His grandson, Paul R. Wright, recently donated Ullery’s uniform to the Garst Mu-

seum. The uniform, tailored in nearby Piqua, is in excellent condition, although Wright admits that he once wore it for Halloween. Wright also donated Ullery’s ceremonial sword and walking stick. The temporary exhibit will be unveiled during the program. G Company and the rest of the 110th O.V.I. was organized at Camp Piqua, Ohio, on Oct. 3, 1862, and mustered out on June 25, 1865. The regiment was attached to Railroad Division, Clarksburg, Western

Virginia, Middle Department. During the war, the regiment lost 230 men: 10 officers and 107 enlisted men who were killed or mortally wounded in combat and 3 officers and 111 enlisted men who died from disease. This program, the second in the annual Speaker Series, will be held at 4 p.m. at the Garst Museum. Light refreshments will be provided by the Fort GreeneVille Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Admission to the lecture is free, but regular admission applies if

majority of the effort will be put toward business retention and expansion. Another area that will receive a tremendous amount of attention is workforce development. Lisa Wendel, workforce development coordinator, wants to change Darke County’s philosophy regarding workforce development from “moving on is one more thing” to “moving on is just what we do.” She explained it means it will be easy for businesses and schools to implement. “The way we get to easy is repetition,” she said. According to Wendel, there is a menu of items workforce development has that at one time was in the “one more thing to do” category and are now in the “that’s just what

Writing contest held at FM Elementary PITSBURG – Students in grades kindergarten through sixth grade had the opportunity to participate in a writing contest sponsored by the Franklin Monroe PTO. There were two divisions; kindergarten

through second grade and third grade through sixth grade. The ďŹ rst, second and third place winners received Walmart gift cards and certiďŹ cates. There will be an elementary writing contest each nine weeks.

NEW MADISON – TriVillage Local Schools hosted the 83rd annual School Fair on Oct. 7 and 8. New Madison has been involved with School Fair since 1933. This is when the New Madison, Hollansburg, and Palestine communities come together to celebrate the upcoming fall and successful summer. The tradition continues on, and the Tri-Village FFA helps out by running the kiddie tractor pull and holding its annual crop and produce contest. On Oct. 8, the kiddie tractor pull took place in the northeast parking lot of the school.

Auxiliary hosts book fair Not only did SPOOMERS get to witness the workings of Bear’s Mill, they also got a taste of Darke County from the Merchant House.

SPOOM gets chance to visit Bear’s Mill GREENVILLE - Bear’s Mill hosted over 100 guests from mills all over the United States on Oct. 22. Two large coach buses brought the intrepid visitors, who were in the Miami Valley for four days of touring mills and other historic sites. The occasion was the Annual Conference of SPOOM, (Society for Preservation of Old Mills). At Bear’s Mill, “SPOOMERS� were treated to a pulled pork sandwich lunch catered by the Merchant House, and the Friends of Bear’s Mill Board rolled out the green carpet on the north lawn of the mill for the special event. Terry Clark, Master Miller, showed off the

original grinding equipment in Bear’s Mill which impressed the tourists greatly because so many mills across the country have been stripped of equipment. Other mills on the tour were Clifton Mill, Staley Mill, Tipp Roller Mill and Rock Mill, which is in Lancaster, and was recently rehabilitated after 100-years of abandonment. Garst Museum, Dayton History at Carillon and many more historic places impressed the visitors as they learned about the world-changing contributions of local leaders and inventors in this area of Ohio.

Currys co-chair 2016 Holiday Evening

Thienn Snipps

Korean War Veteran Program at Edison PIQUA – Korean War Era veterans of the Miami Valley will be honored on Nov. 10, beginning at 11:30 a.m. in the Robinson Theater at Edison State Community College. The seven-member barbershop group, Thienn Snipps, led

by former Edison State Professor and Vietnam veteran Larry Dragosavac, will honor the veterans by performing patriotic songs from 11:30 a.m.–12:10 p.m. The public is invited to pay tribute to these heroes, and admission is free.

PIQUA – The Edison Foundation at Edison State Community College has named Ed and Kay Curry the Co-Chairs of the 19th annual Holiday Evening at Edison State. This year’s Holiday Evening event will feature The Texas Tenors on Dec. 7 at the College’s Piqua campus. Proceeds from Holiday Evening at Edison State directly support the Edison Foundation to provide student scholarships. Prior to serving as the Chairman of Edison State’s Board of Trustees and a member of the Edison Foundation Board, Curry spent a significant portion of his working career in the tire industry. After relocating for various positions, with his wife Kay’s support, they ended up in Greenville where he became part

owner of Shrader’s, Inc. “My first relationship with Edison State’s Darke County campus in Greenville was as a business owner,” said Curry. “We had 50-60 people working at our tire retread plant, including shift supervisors who we would send to take management courses at Edison. These were all workers who didn’t attend college and had worked their way up. The training helped supplement the knowledge they already had and prepared them for those roles.” A Winchester, Ind., native, Curry began his college career at Earlham University in Indiana and transferred to Ball State, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Marketing. “When I transferred to Ball State, I was paying half of what I had at Earlham.” “My advice is to go to a community college like Edison, spend next to nothing with a scholarship, finish two years of college, and then transfer to a fouryear university.” Outside of Edison State, the Currys are involved with a number of community organizations. Currently, Ed sits on the Board of Directors of the Darke County Economic Foundation and the Darke County Board of Elections as Chairman.

Genealogical Society meets GREENVILLE – The Darke County Genealogical Society has rescheduled its Nov. 6 meeting to Nov. 13, 2 p.m. at Garst Museum. First Family Inductions and the Tony Seiler award presentation will occur as well as election of officers. The Society will also be holding its annual Christmas celebration. Members, please bring food to share. The meeting is open to the public. For more information, call 548-8295.

2nd Sunday Breakfast set

GREENVILLE – The Second Sunday Breakfast at the Greenville Elks, 214 W. 3rd St., will be held Nov. 13, 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. They will have eggs and omelets to order, hash browns, sausage, bacon, biscuits and sausage gravy, waffle bar, juice, coffee bar and more. The cost is $9 for adults and $5 for children under 12. This event is open to the public.

Ed and Kay Curry

Kay, a founding member of the Cancer Association of Darke County, now sits on the board of directors for the association. From Bruno Mars to Puccini, Marcus Collins, John Hagen, and JC Fisher, of The Texas Tenors, treat audiences to a unique blend of country, classical, Broadway and current pop music. They use breathtaking vocals, humor and a touch of cowboy charm to create an unforgettable live

show. Tickets are limited and tend to sell out quickly. Proceeds from the evening will go to the Edison Foundation Scholarship Fund to support Edison State students. For more information, or to be added to the Holiday Evening mailing list, contact Julie Slattery at jslattery@edisonohio.edu or 937-778-7805.

After School at Edison helps kids GREENVILLE – “This After School Program is an amazing tool that inspires and empowers the next generation,� said Edison State student, Shayna Emrick. “It gives the children a role model to look up to and a new friend.� Shayna was among 15 Edison State students who began tutoring younger students in a new pro-

gram offered at Edison State Community College’s Darke County Campus. Edison State students and adult volunteers were on hand to work with them. At approximately 4 p.m. on Sept. 19, a Greenville City school bus stopped in front of Edison State for the ďŹ rst time. Twenty-nine Woodland and East School students left the bus and

entered the college campus to participate in Empowering Darke County Youth’s inaugural After School Program, which focuses on tutoring, homework help, and mentoring. Shayna was not the only one praising the program. Nearly two-dozen volunteers who were involved the ďŹ rst week echoed her comments. Edison State

AWTHS tells stories about items on display ARCANUM – Many items have been donated to Arcanum Wayne Trail Historical Society since 2004 when the Historical Society was founded. On Nov. 10, 7 p.m., Carolyn Furlong, Acquisition Chairperson, will share the stories about some of these interesting, mysterious and special items in their collections. Some items help tell the history of their area. Others help demonstrate a way of life grandparents and parents knew. Furlong will tell about the Victorian settee donated by the Roy Hutchinson family. They acquired it from the Munday family auction. Another item, the prairie wedding dress always attracts attention. Men are drawn to the Rund Automatic Heater, patented as the ďŹ rst automatic water heater in 1898, it was used in the Butler School. The building where the Historical Society is located, 123 W. George, Arcanum, was constructed in 1894, four years before the water heater was invented. Lewis Deitrich opened the establishment as a “fancy gin mill and boarding house/hotel.â€?

LEIS REALTY WELCOMES OUR NEWEST REAL ESTATE AGENT,

VICKY KENDALL!

We have come full circle with our move back to Darke County. After traveling and living in the west for many years, my husband and I made the decision to return to Ohio to be closer to our family. Our travels took us to New Mexico, East and West Texas, Wyoming, Indiana and now back in the heartland of Ohio. Some 30 years ago we bought our first small farm here in Darke County to raise our family. Don Leis with Leis Realty helped us put our dreams together with our farm purchase. Fast forward to our recent move, Leis Realty welcomed us back with the same tireless effort to help us find our home. Once we made the call, we literally “bought the farm” and moved back to Ohio with pets and livestock in tow in less than three months. As your real estate sales agent I plan to provide you the same tireless effort with honesty and integrity in all your real estate needs. When it comes to moving, I have plenty of experience, whether you are moving across the country or just five miles down the road, I can share some pointers. With all our moves, I realized moving can either be a major chore or a journey. Although working as a real estate sales agent is a new adventure for me, I have backup with a great team in Leis Realty. I look forward to working hard for you, whether you are selling your home or buying a new home. I can help you put your plans together and get the job done. You can reach Vicky at 937-621-2404 or VickyKendall@LeisRealty.com

Dr. Kumar earns 2016 Rhoads award RICHMOND, Ind. – The 2016 Paul S. Rhoads Humanity in Medicine Award winner believes in being direct with his patients, whom he says he generally sees for at least three and sometimes 10weeks as their radiation oncologist. “Everybody wants the truth,” said Arvind Kumar, M.D., citing the importance of being direct, compassionate and being a good listener. Dr. Kumar’s selection as this year’s winner was announced at the annual medical staff appreciation and new physician

reception Saturday evening. Nominations for the Rhoads award are solicited each year from physicians, patients and health care workers in honor of the late Paul S. Rhoads, M.D., who received the first award in 1983. Nominations from patients cited Dr. Kumar’s honesty and compassion in what are often serious illness situations in Radiation Oncology. Craig Kinyon, Reid President/ CEO, said it is always a pleasure to give the news to the Rhoads winners, especial-

ly when he knows them as well as Dr. Kumar. Kinyon got to know Dr. Kumar several years ago when Kinyon was vice president over Radiation Oncology. Kinyon cited Dr. Kumar’s kindness and quiet strength. “He is one of the kindest people I have ever met,” he said. Dr. Kumar joined the Reid Health team in 1993 at the urging of Dr. John Dehner, a retired Radiation Oncologist, who saw the winner as a great fit for Reid and its culture. Dr. Dehner was the year 2000 Rhoads recipient. His brother, Dr. Pankaj Kumar, is a family practice physician in Richmond. He said he “can’t think of anyone else who deserves the honor more” than his older brother. Originally from India, Dr. Arvind Kumar came to the United States as a graduate student at the University of Cincinnati. Dr. Kumar received his M.S. in Radiological physics in 1975 and his PhD in Nuclear Physics in 1978 from the

University of Cincinnati. He completed his Medical Degree at Indiana University in 1989 and has been at Reid since July 1993. Dr. Kumar expressed deep appreciation for the recognition. He said he learned a craft in medical school, but noted, “Patients are part of my extended family. I think when you come out of medical school, you know the science, but not the art of medicine. The art of medicine is what your patients teach you. You learn from every experience.” The Humanity in Medicine award and celebration, authorized as an annual event by Reid’s governing board in 1983, honors the memory of Dr. Rhoads for his service to patients and medicine. He was the founding director of Reid’s Medical Education Department, helped organize the hospice program and helped organize the Wayne County adult clinic for the indigent. He was the first recipient in 1983.

Jennifer Bruns, executive director for Big Brothers Big Sisters stated, “The Shelby County Bassmasters do an outstanding job every year with this activity. The children who participate in this outing truly look forward to it each year, and it exposes them to a new hobby that they might not otherwise get the opportunity to do. I have kids ask me all year round when the fishing derby is going to be held.

The love this event.” Bruns stated, “Being outdoors, getting fresh air, and learning about fishing is a neat experience for the children in the program and for some of them the first time they have been exposed to the sport.” Group activities are part of the mentoring program for children from at-risk homes. Presently, the Shelby & Darke County agency has 65 matches with a list of over 30 children yet in need of an adult volunteer. Volunteers are required to see the

children two times per month, offering support and fun, educational activities. It should be noted that match activities can be scheduled around a volunteer’s calendar, and offer a fantastic way to have a positive impact on youth in our community. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke County is a non-profit, United Way member agen-

cy. They are always looking for additional volunteers. If you would like more information on enrolling your child in the program or becoming an active volunteer, call 4927611 or 547-9622.
