Ormsby says he is grateful that his office team can remain intact and continue to help serve Darke County. Additionally, Ormsby explained that he can now move forward with filling the position of Assistant Prosecuting Attorney that was vacated by Michael Rieman late 2015.

“I didn’t want to hire someone and then turn around and have them possibly lose their job if I was not re-elected,” he added.

“My office will continue to do most things how we have in the past, but always look to find ways for improvement.”

Voters keep Ormsby STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – As the final election tallies rolled in Tuesday night, it became evident that Darke County Prosecuting Attorney Kelly Ormsby would remain in office for at least another four year term. With just over 23,000 ballots being counted, the Republican candidate was re-elected with nearly 73 percent of the votes.

“I am grateful that the voters have chosen to allow me to serve for another four years,” Ormsby told The Early Bird in a postelection interview. “I have had so many great people, like Rep. Jim Buchy and

DARKE COUNTY – Republican Matt Aultman won his bid for a Darke County Commission seat Tuesday, Nov. 8, with 78.31 percent or 18,327 votes.

Aultman will fill the seat being vacated by Diane Delaplane.

Delaplane’s seat also was sought by Democrat Leon Rogers, who received 5,075 votes or 21.69 percent.

“It’s been gratifying,” Aultman said of his campaign, which he began during the summer of 2015.

“I got lots of support from the community, family and friends.”

Aultman said he “very much appreciated” all the support from the Darke County community and was “looking forward to what the next four years will bring.”

Aultman did not want to comment on current issues facing county commission, explaining he was “look-

ing forward to getting more details on the projects and some of the items of discussion in the county. I need to get more details to make better comments on them.”

“I definitely want to thank everyone, especially my neighbors and friends who put up a few (campaign) signs for me and for sharing kind words.”

This was Aultman’s first attempt to run for an elected office, although he currently is a member of the Darke County Fair Board with two years left on his term.

“I’ll have to come off the fair board since I’ve been elected to commission,” Aultman explained. “It will be up to the fair board to decide what to do with that seat.”

Aultman will begin his commission duties Jan. 2, joining Mike Stegall and Mike Rhoades. Rhoades ran uncontested on the Nov. 8 ballot for another term.

“I am eager to see what I can bring to the community,” Aultman said.

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Board of Education will be seeking a new high school principal.

years with Newton Schools before returning to Darke County to accept the position as principal at Greenville’s Woodland Primary.

The past two school years, he’s served as principal at Greenville High School.

“It’s been a great career,” Cassell said Wednesday. “I wouldn’t want to do it any differently.”

A Franklin-Monroe High School graduate, Cassell began his teaching career with Ansonia schools, then taught for 15 years at his Alma Mater in Pitsburg. He also worked with Bradford schools for a year before spending 14 years with Vandalia-Butler Schools, as a middle school and high school principal as well as working with the district’s human resources office before accepting a position with Bethel Schools in Miami County.

“My last three years I returned to my roots,” Cassell said of his work in Darke County.

Cassell said he decided

to announce his retirement now in order to give administration time to find his replacement.

“In my letter I said I would be willing to serve in the central office if a position became available or work in a mentor capacity with my replacement.

I wanted to give the board plenty of time” to find a replacement, Cassell said. “I wanted to treat them like I would like to be treated.”

The board of education will meet for their regular November meeting at 7 p.m. Nov. 17 in the Anna Bier Civic Center , Memorial Hall. The board also will conduct a work session at 6 p.m.

SHOPLIFTING

On Nov. 5 an ofďŹ cer was dispatched to Family Dollar at 300 Martin St. in reference to a theft. The ofďŹ cer spoke with the store manager and a witness who said a white male with a beard and wearing camo pants had taken some items without paying. The witness said she saw the male put something that looked like stickers into his front pocket. The man left the store and got into an older vehicle parked in the Auto Zone parking lot across the street. The car had two other people inside. According to the report, one of the subjects, Matthew Hall, ďŹ t the description given by the Family Dollar manager and witness. Hall had already emptied his pockets on to the car when the ofďŹ cer arrived at the Auto Zone parking lot. The ofďŹ cer saw deodorizer key chains, a candle, deodorizer sprays and an opened and unopened pack of car air fresheners. Hall denied stealing any of the items from Family Dollar. The ofďŹ cer went back to Family Dollar where the manager conďŹ rmed the car air fresheners did come from the store’s inventory, which was down four packs. She did not conďŹ rm if the other items Hall emptied from his pocket were taken from her inventory. The ofďŹ cer returned to the Auto Zone parking lot to speak to Hall, who admitted taking the car air fresheners from Family Dollar because the car he was riding in smelled. He was issued a summons for theft.

The clerk described the suspect as a white male, approximately six foot tall with a skinny build and facial hair, wearing a camouage jacket with a hoodie and jeans.

Jury convicts accused heroin dealer

BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – It took a jury less than an hour of deliberation to ďŹ nd 54-year-old Mickel J. Blankenship guilty of two counts of TrafďŹ cking in Heroin (F4) Wednesday in the Darke County Common Pleas Court.

The jury, made up of six men and six women, listened to nearly two days of testimony before beginning their deliberation. The charges were more severe due to the crimes, which occurred in October 2015 in City of Greenville, being committed within a thousand feet of a school building. Though what he sold was later discovered to not be the actual drug, simply offering to sell the deadly narcotic is still a felony offense.

Blankenship, who remains free on bond, is scheduled to return for sen-

ON YOUR MIND

It is important to honor Ohio’s veterans Veterans Day is a time to pay special tribute to the courageous military BILL BEAGLE men OHIO SENATE and women who BILL BEAGLE have anOHIO SENATE swered the call to defend the principles of freedom, liberty and democracy. Originally established as Armistice Day in 1919 to commemorate the end of the First World War, the day was later changed to Veterans Day to honor all American service members.

Among the millions of American military veterans we honor today is John Moore, Sr. of Dayton.

Moore, who heroically served in World War II, was drafted into the Army in 1943. During his time of service he climbed to through the ranks in the 2261st Quartermaster Trucking Company stationed in Bangladesh.

After the war, Moore returned to the Dayton area and where he became the first African-American to serve as chief of personnel at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and a member of the Dayton Foundation. Moore’s dedication to service brought great success in helping to start the Montgomery County Job Center, launching a mentoring program and educational scholarships for youth, and serving as a champion for increased diversity and

inclusion in the workforce and to businesses that were awarded government contracts.

Earlier this month, Moore was inducted into the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame in honor of his service both in the military and as a leader in the Dayton community. The Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame was established in 1992 to recognize the post-military achievements of veterans, like Moore, who continue to contribute to their communities after their military service has ended.

On days like today, it is important for us to recognize and honor the individuals who have used their passion for service to better the communities they have sacrificed to protect.

Ohio is home to over 860,000 veterans, with more than 55,000 residing in Miami, Montgomery, Preble and Darke counties. It is likely that you may know a veteran whether they are a family member, friend, or someone in the community.

My colleagues and I in the Ohio Senate will continue to explore new ways to make Ohio a better place for our veterans to live, work and raise a family.

I hope you will join us this Veterans Day, and every day, in honoring Ohio’s military veterans. We owe these men and women our deepest gratitude, and we thank them for their service.

Big Buddies program off to a great start DARKE COUNTY – “Both Big Buddies and Little Buddies get so much out of the friendships they form through the “Big Buddies” after school programs,” said Executive Director for Big Brothers Big Sisters Jennifer Bruns. “It truly is a win win situation for everyone involved. The kids really look up to their Big Buddies and look forward to seeing them each session. We have Littles asking their teachers daily when the next Big Buddies session will be.”

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County is excited to announce that another great year is in the works for the Big Buddies after-school program. The Buddies program is a ninemonth commitment where high school freshman through seniors volunteer to work with and mentor elementary aged children two times per month. During these meetings the high school students, under the supervision of Big Brothers Big Sisters staff, work with one or two children on different educational and recreational activities. This year’s curriculum focus will be The 7 Habits of Happy Kids.

All seven of their after-

school programs are up and running and the Bigs & Littles are excited about the upcoming year’s activities with their mentors. However, it is not too late to sign up to be a friend, have fun, earn some valuable experiences, and be a role model to a Little in Darke & Shelby County. Last year Big Brothers Big Sisters served over 400 youth through their mentoring programs in the two county area.

Big Brothers Big Sisters currently has programs at Emerson, Longfellow, Northwood, & Whittier elementary schools which are all Sidney City Schools.

Darke County locations are at Ansonia Elementary, Versailles Elementary, and Woodland Primary.

Don’t forget there is still time to sign up. They have an exciting year ahead of them and are searching for Shelby & Darke County high school students to join their program. Please call the office at 937-492-7611 or 937-547-9622 or logon onto their website, www. bigbrobigsis-shelbydarke. org for more information.

Beware: I’m going to be bragging

There are times in your life when you put your head up, stick your chest out and boast a little a bit.

I very rarely do this about myself. Although I could go on and on about how wonderful I am, I’m smart enough to know other people are turned off by bragging. In reality, the peeps are just jelly ‘cause they ain’t me. They all be dissin’ on me ‘cause they can’t hang with this greatness.

Oh yeah, I just threw down some urban slang. To borrow words from Mac Davis and his classic hit song, “Oh Lord, it’s hard to be humble when you’re perfect in every way.” (Those of you of a certain age can thank me because you will be singing that song all day long.) That settles it – bragging on myself is bad.

I’m already turned off by me and I don’t want to be near me.

While I try to be humble on my own accord, when it comes to my wife and kids I will put my head up and stick out my chest all day, every day. They are why I am who I am – old, outof-shape, turning gray, and shrinking. They are also why I get up in the morning – I try to leave the house before I have contact with any of them. As I have done in this column, on Facebook

and everywhere and anywhere I can, I will continue to brag about them whenever I get the chance. In the areas where we are not very proud I will continue to keep pushing those skeletons further and further back into the closet.

Why would I devote two paragraphs to being a braggart? ‘Cause I’m ‘bout to get down with some serious bragging.

My wife and I have never been what most people would call athletes. Oh sure, we tried our hand at sports. I played a little baseball and with seven or eight strike-outs in a row on the JV team I obviously didn’t have colleges looking at me to come in and save their program. When my wife was seven or eight years old her soccer uniform included a pair of jeans because she didn’t want to be cold. Her soccer career was over before it started.

However, our oldest daughter has found her niche. She’s done okay as a soccer player, but where she excels is as a thrower in track and field. Her specialty is shot put having exceeded the 40’ mark, which is pretty exceptional for a high school thrower. She has made it to the state track and field tournaments for indoor and outdoor in shot put, discus and weight throw and she still has one year of throwing remaining. As a family we’ve travelled across the state to watch her throw. We’ve been to the Spires Institute

When she said she wanted to be a pole vaulter in seventh grade, her mom and I looked at each other and thought, “I hope they let her down easy.” A couple of days into practice she was told not to come back to pole vault practice.

PITSBURG – Franklin Monroe senior Nicole Berry signed with TifďŹ n University Thursday afternoon to continue her education and compete collegiately with the Lady Dragons track and ďŹ eld team. “Nicole has put in a lot of hard work over her 3-1/2 years so far and she absolutely deserves every accolade she’s had,â€? said FM track and ďŹ eld coach Rick Ingold. “We are really excited to see her move on and represent Franklin Monroe at the NCAA DII level.â€?

Berry, the daughter of Ryan and Mindy Berry, who plans to study Forensic Psychology in college, signed with TifďŹ n after many visits to the campus while meeting with many of the current TifďŹ n track and ďŹ eld team athletes. “I’m a very proud mom,â€? said Mindy. “She worked hard and she’s still working hard.â€? “Never in my life did I think we would be signing a National Letter of Intent, but she found something she was good at and she performs well at it,â€?

Berry set the Lady Jets shotput record as a freshman and continued to surpass her record distances ending up with a record throw of 41’7â€? at the Cross County Conference meet as a junior and she plans to improve on that milestone in her 2016-2017 senior spring high school track and ďŹ eld season. “The sky is the limit when it comes to what Nicole is going to be able of doing here,â€? Ingold stated. “We have indoor season here and an outdoor season. She puts the work in and it’s going to be something special at the end of the year.â€?

Although signing to throw the shot put for the Lady Dragons, TifďŹ n will be looking at Berry as a possible weight throw participant and hammer thrower for the team.

Berry ďŹ rst wanted to be a pole vaulter in junior high but was quickly encouraged by her junior high coach, Kip Gray to try her hand at shot put. “They told me to go home after the second

but we need to see other varsity teams. Tonight was just a great example of why you scrimmage.â&#x20AC;?

The young Greenville varsity girls were looking up the entire night of play to the much taller Lady Flyers and Wildcats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ďŹ rst two quarters we were not where I wanted them to be, however we responded when I challenged them,â&#x20AC;? said Kerns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last three quarters we rebounded the ball extremely well. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just an area because of our size that we have to focus on and put an emphasis on every time we come out on the court.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (visiting teams) were both actually more physical,â&#x20AC;? noted Kerns â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we rebounded and responded very well the last three quarters.â&#x20AC;?

The Greenville girls were close to perfect from

ers and picking up the pace on the battle of the boards as the night progressed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We shot the ball very well and even from the outside,â&#x20AC;? Kerns stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We shot the ball a lot better than we have been in previous seasons.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three pointers,â&#x20AC;? added Kerns, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope we hit a lot this year.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a young group,â&#x20AC;?

Kerns said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty athletic group. We just have to run the spotsâ&#x20AC;Śwe have to run and we have to do better job of ďŹ nishing in our offense this year.â&#x20AC;?

Overall, Coach Kerns was pleased with the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst scrimmage of the new season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The score didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always show it but we were competitive in every quarter,â&#x20AC;?

Kerns pointed out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We left a few shots out there, so overall itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a bad ďŹ rst scrimmage for us.â&#x20AC;?

Brian Cheney serves Greenville student athletes GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Brian Cheney, Greenville High School’s Athletic Trainer has made a positive impact in the health of numerous Green Wave athletes.

Born in Beaver Falls, NY, the Cedarville University Graduate attended Beaver River Central School with a graduating class of 72 students.

“I was born and raised there,” Cheney said of his New York home. “It’s a very small town; about 300 people in Lewis County, New York…about an hour and a half north of Syracuse, NY. It’s a big farming community, especially dairy farming.”

Cheney’s parents still reside in Beaver Falls where his father continues to teach ninth grade science at Beaver Central School.

After earning a four year Bachelor’s Degree in Athletic Training at Cedarville University, Cheney attended the University of West Alabama where he worked as a Graduate Assistant Athletic Trainer in the university’s High School Outreach Program while obtaining his master’s degree.

In his third year at GHS, Cheney can be seen at most Wave sporting events at home and often on the road, although most of his work and long hours go unnoticed and often underappreciated.

Athletes returning to the court or playing field following an injury are a direct result of the many hours of labor behind the scene of our certified ath-

letic trainers. Trainers work many hours throughout the days and weeks getting our athletes back to full 100 percent health.

Each sporting season brings varying injuries requiring Cheney to carry different supplies to sporting events.

“Overall the injury incidents rate is going to be lower for most of the winter sports,” said Cheney.

“A lot of the injuries that are going to be most prevalent are a little bit different. You see a lot more ankle and sometimes knee injuries with sports like basketball.”

“You see a lot more upper body injuries with wrestling that carry upper body intensity, but it varies from season to season from sport to sport,” continued Cheney. “Things that one season brings may happen at a very high rate injury wise may happen at a very low rate the next two or three seasons.

It is very hard to predict.”

Cheney has an office located at GHS which also serves as the athletic training room…”they are one in the same,” Cheney noted.

From his office/training room, Cheney juggles his time between paper work, injury prevention and rehabilitation.

“It varies from day to day, week to week and season to season,” Cheney said of his duties. “During some parts of the year it’s going to be a lot more injury prevention, some parts are going to be more rehabilitation from injuries that have occurred, some parts are going to be more…just getting the athletes back to play completely from injuries they sustained. It’s go-

ing to vary widely as far as the amount of paper work.

There is the number of injuries to take care of on a daily basis. That’s one of those things that is hard to predict.”

Cheney works closely with Dusty Yingst, Greenville Athletic Director and the entire Green Wave coaching staff.

“Having Brian here… it’s amazing,” said Yingst.

“He’s here 10, 12, 14 hours a day. Many times he comes in after school and is here until the last kid leaves most nights.”

“The parents and the kids are comfortable with Brian,” continued Yingst.

“He has a good rapport with the parents, our student athletes and our coaches. They can lean on Brian. They trust Brian’s judgement. Nobody is here to micromanage Brian. He does his job and he does it very well. Our coaches and .myself take whatever his professional opinion is and we go with it. He does a fantastic job.”

“All the coaches have been very easy to work with,” Cheney said. “They are very respectful of my opinion of different injuries on different athletes.

They are great about understanding if there is going to be a lengthy return to play period for a particular athlete. They understand that for some significant injuries you can’t get the athlete back to play within two or three days.”

“Our coaches are very good about keeping up to date with the process and keeping that athlete involved in whatever capacity they are able to until they are fully healed and

ready to return to their sport,” added Cheney.

“Overall I have been very fortunate to work with a lot of quality coaches in my time here.”

While working for GHS, Cheney is contracted through Wayne HealthSports, the primary provider of athletic training and medical services for GHS. Wayne HealthSports is a division of the rehabilitation and sports medicine services offered by Wayne HealthCare.

Wayne HealthSports program is in its fifth year serving Darke County student athletes and now has sports medicine partnerships covering Versailles, Ansonia, Tri-Village, Mississinawa Valley and Greenville schools.

Kurt Moneysmith (Ansonia), Brian Cheney (Greenville), Jered Rush (Tri-Village), Taylor James (Versailles) and Al-

yse Miles (Mississinawa Valley) now serve as athletic trainers for five of the county’s eight schools.

“If there is a big tournament, a big cross country meet or multiple events going on at a school where maybe one of our athletic trainers on staff is having a light day and we need heavier coverage for a particular event at one school, we do a great job of helping each other out when we are able to as far as getting all the sports for our contracted schools taken care of with as much coverage as we possibly can,” Cheney said of the five area Wayne HealthSports Athletic Trainers.

Wayne HealthSports athletic trainers work closely with area orthopedic surgeons, family physicians, podiatrists, and other medical professionals in the area. The goal of the program is to provide high quality athletic train-

Shields donate $10,000 to Friends of Harmon Field

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Doug and Susan Shields donated $10,000 to The Friends of Harmon Field on Friday afternoon at Greenville’s Harmon Field.

“We appreciate Doug and Susan stepping up to the plate with their $10,000 donation,” said steering committee member Mike Henderson. “It will go towards the first phase which will be the track. We’re excited…we are getting close to being able to start that part of the project here soon.”

The Shields have three children including daughter Elizabeth Shields now teaching at Greenville High School.

Son, Mark played

football and golf for the Wave and their youngest, Jason, a senior at GHS plays golf and baseball for the Green Wave.

The Friends of Harmon Field have seen many recent corporate and individual donations as the organization looks to modernize the sports complex including a new track and field complex while making improvements at Harmon Field.

“We’re glad that we can do it,” said Doug and Susan. “We feel strong support of the community is important and we are really glad that we can give.”

Improvements plans are to include turf upgrades, a new facility to house restrooms and locker rooms while renovating or replace the

current concrete stands, seating and press box.

The total project comes with an estimated $5 million price tag. The project is currently nearing the halfway point of the organization’s goal.

“We are very thrilled to have another donation and they keep coming in,” stated Henderson. “The community has been so supportive of us and we really appreciate that.”

“The community does stand behind the project,” added Henderson.

“It’s really neat the way the project is coming together.”

ing services that will enhance the medical care for our student athletes.

The five Darke County Athletic Trainers work directly under Jim Beyke, Director of Rehab Services at Wayne HealthCare.

“We started with Versailles and then we added Ansonia and Greenville the following year,” said Beyke. “We added TriVillage last year and then this current school year we added Mississinawa Valley.”

“Brian Cheney has been a great addition to our staff,” Beyke added.

“This is his third school year. That builds familiarity with the parents, the athletes and the coaches.

Brian has developed a good system of assessing the athletes, treating the athletes and also the referral base right here with Orthopedic Associates.

Athletes are taken care of very timely and get back into their sport as soon as we can.”

GREENVILLE – Main Street Greenville’s Board of Directors and the Horse Parade Committee have named Dean and Arlene Bankson, owners of Wieland Jewelers, as the Grand Marshals of the 2016 Hometown Holiday Horse Parade.

When selecting the Grand Marshals for the horse parade, the committee and board considers individuals who support the success of downtown Greenville. Voting to select the Banksons was an easy decision for the 13th annual event.

“Dean and Arlene have owned and operated one of the oldest establishments in downtown Greenville.

The couple were also involved with the beginning stages of revitalization efforts in the district,” said Amber Garrett, Executive Director for Main Street Greenville.

Wieland Jewelers opened in 1902 by Roy Wieland. In the 1950’s, Arlene’s father, the late Ivan Spahr purchased the store. In 1968, the Banksons gained ownership and have operated it since.

The store has had multiple locations throughout the years, all of them located downtown Greenville. “Downtown has always been good to us.

We’ve never considered moving out of downtown Greenville,” said Dean.

“On a regular basis, we have visitors to our community who comment we have the best small downtown they have ever been in.”

In the mid-1970’s, a group of 6-8 business leaders, including Dean, traveled to Shelbyville, IN. The group consisted of downtown building

and business owners who were determined to put together a streetscape renovation plan for the downtown Greenville district, based upon the work Shelbyville had recently completed.

The Banksons were also involved in a downtown retail committee through the Greenville Chamber of Commerce who created events or activities in the downtown district.

“The streetscape project and the retail committee were some of the first steps our community took towards keeping our downtown vibrant. If it weren’t for citizen’s forward-thinking action, it is unclear what condition our downtown district would be in today,” said Amber Garrett, Executive Director of Main Street Greenville. “This action allowed for continued revitalization efforts since the late 1970’s, where some communities are just now taking their first steps in 2016.”

“We have a lot of people who come to see us, we have been doing this for a long time,” said Dean.

“The businesses downtown feed off each other.

If they visit us, they will typically visit at least one additional business when they do.”

In the past, Dean also served on the City of Greenville’s Architectural Review Board, created to maintain the historic integrity of the historic buildings located in downtown Greenville.

The Banksons both graduated from Darke County schools, Arlene from Greenville High School in 1959 and Dean from Ansonia High School in 1956. The Banksons married in December of

1960.

Dean and Arlene have three sons, Mark, Mike, and Matt. Mark and Mike work at the store. Mark’s wife, the former Gail Keller and Mike’s wife, the former Corrin Fitzwater, are also store employees.

Matt works for the Ohio Department of Agriculture and is married to the former Heather Vore.

They couple enjoys traveling, attending activities involving their 6 grandchildren, and going out with their friends and family. They both enjoy riding their HarleyDavidson motorcycle, and they are members of the Presbyterian Church.

Dean, a U.S. Army veteran, belongs to the Masons, Shrine, American Legion, the Liars Club, and the Chamber of Commerce. Arlene had worked with the IBM computers at Fram for a couple of years, but left to raise her children. As of today, they still work at the store almost daily.

“We appreciate the

Bankson’s contribution to downtown Greenville as business owners and as citizens who have volunteered their time to keep it a great place to be,” said Joel Allread, President of Main Street Greenville Board of Trustees.

The 2016 Hometown Hometown Holiday Horse parade will be on Saturday, November 19th. The parade will begin at 7 pm, with entertainment leading up to the parade.

‘Never Give Up’ message delivered to county’s R.E.A.L. students

BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com DARKE COUNTY – With a message to “Never Give Up,” a group of Darke County students were recognized for their efforts and encouraged with the message to reach for their dreams during the Nov. 7 R.E.A.L. Success Awards Luncheon.

Held at Romer’s Catering in Greenville, the luncheon and awards ceremony was sponsored by the Darke County Educational Service Center. Students in grades 3-12 from county-

wide schools were honored for passing Ohio’s statewide testing for the 2015-16 school year.

Introducing the program, Darke County ESC Superintendent Mike Gray welcomed all in attendance to the Raising Expercations for All Learners program, which honors students “who have achieved so much and have had much success” during the past school year and also to honor teachers who have worked with the R.E.A.L. students.

The special guest speaker for the luncheon was Collin

Ansonia

Arcanum

Clarke of Evansville, Ind., and his mom, Jody.

Clarke is an example of a young person who has worked hard to overcome difficulties in order to achieve his dreams.

Born with Down Syndrome, Clarke, recently achieved a goal to participate in a bodybuilding competition.

“I’ll tell you my story: dream big, work hard and never give up,” Clarke, 23, told students, family members and school staff.

Clarke’s mom Jody also spoke, explaining how she and her husband “fostered Collin with all his dreams and goals” from the time he was just a few weeks old and she encouraged parents and teachers to always support their children and students in achieving their individual goals and dreams.

Clarke’s road to bodybuilding and competition began in March 2015, when he weighed in at 201 pounds.

“Right after that doctor’s appointment, we hired a trainer,” Jody explained, which was the first step in helping her son make his dream come true.

He changed his diet and started training, losing 62 pounds.

“The diet was the most hardest thing ever,” Clarke admitted, explaining how he traded some of his favorite foods and beverages to healthier selections.

“It took a lot of hard work and dedication,” he said.

Just months later, Clarke competed in the Kentucky Muscle show, earning a 5th

place and Most Inspiration awards.

He’s also met one of his heroes – WWE’s John Cena.

The Clarkes have since formed Collination, a nonprofit which will be working with business and schools to encourage physical education and healthy opportunities for youth, Jody said.

Clark also shared what he believes a team is with students – “believe, inspire and motivate each other.

Never give up and quit. If you can believe it, you can achieve it.”

County students who were recognized for their achievements on Monday include: Ansonia: Zander Ahrens, Jenna Fullroth, Mitchell Grieshop, Matthew Lee, Adalyne Mader, Ben Thorp, 425 Memorial Dr. Greenville, OH 45331

Jeff Thorp, and Odin Zeller.

Don’t Overlook Long-term Care Costs How much money will you need in retirement? To arrive at an estimate, you should consider various factors, such as where you’ll live, how much you plan to travel, and so on. Not surprisingly, you’ll also need to think about health care costs, which almost always rise during retirement. But there’s one area you might overlook: long-term care.

Should you be concerned about these costs? In a word, yes. Expenses for long-term care — which can include receiving assistance at home as well as prolonged care in a facility — can be surprisingly expensive. Consider the following statistics, taken from the 2016 Cost of Care Study issued

by Genworth, an insurance company: • The average annual cost for a private room in a nursing home is more than $92,000. And in some places, particularly major metropolitan areas, the cost is considerably higher. • The average annual cost for full-time services of an inhome health care aide is more than $46,000. These costs are certainly daunting. Of course, you might think that you won’t have to worry about them, because you won’t ever need any type of long-term care, particularly if you’ve always been in good health and your family has no history of later-in-life cognitive impairment. How-ever, the odds may not always be in your favor, because almost 70% of people turning age 65 will need some kind of assistance or long-term care at some point in their lives, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Given the costs of long-term care, and the possibility that you might really need this care, how can you prepare for the costs?

Things may change in the future, but at this point, you really can’t count much on government programs to help pay for long-term care. Medicare typically pays for only a small percentage of these costs, and, to be eligible for Medicaid, you must have limited income and assets. In fact, you might need to “spend down” some of your assets to qualify for Medicaid long-term care services.

Obviously, this is not an attractive choice, particularly if you’d like to someday “leave something behind” to your family or favorite charity. Consequently, you need to look at your options for paying for long-term care — just in case. You could earmark a certain percentage of your investment portfolio to cover long-term care costs; if you never need this care, you can simply use the money to pay for other areas of your retirement or for other purposes, such as charitable gifts or financial support to your grown children or grandchildren. Or, as an alternative, you might want to work with a financial professional, who can recommend a strategy specifically designed to help you address long-term care costs. The marketplace in this area has evolved rapidly in recent years, so you should be able to find a solution that is both affordable and effective. Keep in mind, though, that the earlier you purchase a long-term care solution, the more economical it will likely be for you. In any case, don’t delay your planning for long-term care. Knowing that you’re protected against potentially catastrophic costs can make your retirement years less stressful for you and your family.

The Good Ole Boy Comedy group includes local members, Lucas “Freakin” Wil-

liams, Jeff Bartlett, Thomas Gurrn, Darron Docie, and Tim Lucas who have been putting on hilarious shows across Ohio for the last six years.

The event will be held in the Robinson Theater. Seating for the event is limited.

Those interested in attending are encouraged to arrive early to reserve a seat. The comedy style is not abnormally over the top but does at times discuss adult situations. For more information, contact Nate Cole by emailing ncole@edisonohio.edu or calling (937) 381-1555.

Then participants will play some exciting games to test their skills.

The Jr. Naturalists is a series of monthly pro-

grams designed to give third through sixth grade students hands-on interaction with the natural world and a look at our current and historical place within it.

For questions about the Jr. Naturalists program or any other park district programs or to register for the November class, call the park office at (937) 548-0165 or email info@darkecountyparks. org.

GREENVILLE – In a week where veterans are being honored for their service to America, the Greenville Moose Lodge presented a donation of $1,500 to the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) Chapter #57.

According to Larry Rose, sports chairman for the Moose, the funds were derived from the Greenville Moose’s third annual Memorial Golf Tournament.

Don Dietrich, treasurer and adjutant for Chapter #57 DAV, said the funds will be used to provide gift baskets for patients at the Dayton Veterans Administration

Hospital. Local members of the chapter visit the hospital regularly to give the gifts.

Rose pointed out this donation would not have been possible without the support of local organizations, businesses and individuals. The tournament hosted 36 golfers at the Union City Golf Course. Sponsors included Arcanum VFW 4161, Arcanum VFW Men’s Auxiliary 4161, American Legion Post 140, Greenville VFW 7262, Union City Golf Course, Ron Klosterman Welding, Winners Meats, Mike Ford Transmission, Bob Henry and Barb Morrison.

Plans are already being made to host the golf tournament again next year.

GREENVILLE – When Dorothy Hoeflich was asked what her ‘Wish of a Lifetime’ would be, she didn’t hesitate to say she wanted to renew the marriage vows she and her husband Sam made 66 years ago.

On Saturday, Nov. 5, Dorothy’s wish came true.

With the help of Brookdale Senior Living staff and the assisted living’s partnership with the Wish of a Livetime program for seniors, the Hoeflichs again committed themselves to each other, before family and friends during a brief renewal ceremony conducted by Pastor Hershel Fee of Lighthouse Christian Center.

Fee told the couple, who were married Feb. 3, 1950, they were renewing “promises made in the springtime of their love.”

Sam, a U.S. Army veteran of World War II, graduated from Covington High School in 1941.

“He was fresh home from the Army,” Dorothy said, when she, a Covington High School senior with the Class of 1946, was performing as the drum majorette with the marching band one night.

According to Dorothy, Sam came to see the

band and “told some of his friends ‘I’m going to marry those legs someday.’ He did and he stayed with me, too.”

Sam went on to Wittenberg University where he attended Divinity School.

The couple was married at Dorothy’s home church, the Church of God in Piqua.

The couple moved to Greenville, where Sam pastored St. Paul’s Lutheran Church. The couple also helped start te Christ Lutheran Church on Eidson Road, Dorothy said.

In recent years, Sam served as chaplain with the local American Legion and VFW organizations and served as an Elder with Lighthouse Christian Center.

“I thought it was so awesome and wonderful,” Fee said about the Hoeflichs desire to renew their vows after 66 years. “They set an example of how a marriage should work .”

Following the renewal ceremony, the couple performed traditional wedding customs - cutting a small wedding cake made

by Katherine Obringer – and toasting each other with pink lemonade served in champagne flutes.

“I loved you then, I love you now and will love you forever,” Dorothy, 88, told Sam, 93, who toasted his bride with “you continue

to be wonderful.”

“This all is so lovely and wonderful,” Dorothy said to the small group urging the couple to celebrate as they gathered around the cake table.

Sam agreed. “I’d like to say I’d like to go home and celebrate, but we’re beyond that kind of celebration,” he said, garnering laughter.

The couple, who have resided at Brookdale since April of this year, are parents of three children, Carl John, Mary Katherine and Elizabeth Ann. They have five grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

“I fell in love with their love story,” shared Kristin Stephens, resident program director at Brookdale.

Stephens said her initial interview with Sam and Dorothy revealed their story, prompting Saturday’s vow renewal and Wish of a Lifetime to come to fruition.

Sam wore a brand new black suit for the occasion, while Dorothy looked very chic in a beige dress with a shimmery sweater top that also could be worn as a shawl.

“I was a seamstress and made all my clothes,” Dorothy explained when asked about her new outfit, which was purchased online, in keeping with today’s shopping traditions.

When asked what their advice was for a meaningful and happy marriage, Dorothy responded: “Love hard and long.”

Principal accepts rooftop reading challenge SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY – Students at Mississinawa Valley were eager to get to school on Thursday, Nov. 10.

It’s not often you get to see your principal sitting on top of the school roof.

“The kids voted,” said elementary school principal Stephanie Klingshirn, from a list of locations around the school for her to take the Principal’s Challenge, which was sponsored by the Pizza Hut BOOK IT! program.

The challenge was in recognition of National Young Readers Week, Nov. 7-11. The BOOK IT! program challenges principals across the country to be examples for literacy and read for an entire school day.

“I’m reading from bell to bell,” Klingshirn said from her spot on the elementary roof Thursday. “I’m trying to inspire them (students) to read and also to model reading. It’s not often they get to see me actually reading.”

Not only was Klingshirn sitting on the roof to enjoy a day of reading, she was actually reading to several classes – thanks to the Internet and the Google Hangouts instant video chat.

Students in Amber Schellhase’s third grade class watched and listened as Klingshirn read “The Book Woman,” a story about the Pack Horse Librarians, also known as the Book Women in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky. During the 1930s, as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Works Progress Administration, the women rode

horse back to bring a traveling library of books to remote regions where there were few schools.

“They were eager to come to reading class today,” Schellhase said.

“They were pretty excited.”

Fourth-grader Jackie Lewchenko, 9, said she thought her principal was brave to climb up on top of the roof to read.

“It was kind of fun and I

thought she was a daredevil,” said Lewchenko, who enjoys reading graphic novels by author Raina Talgemeier. Graphic novels are similar to comic books, using sequential art to help tell a story.

Participating in the Pizza Hut BOOK IT! Principal’s Challenge also enters Mississinawa Valley into a drawing for Kate DiCamillo books for the entire school, Klingshirn said.

Greenville Library features The Big Heat Gold Cards LIMITED TIM Tracking and Bloodon Sale Now! E BUY 5 GOLD WASHES - GET 2 FREE! Trailing 101 at DCP Perfect Gift For Any Occasion GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Deer season is in full swing and gun season is almost upon us. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to dust off those old tracking skills.

Join a naturalist on Nov. 19, 2 p.m., at Shawnee Prairie Preserve on St. Rt. 502 just west of Greenville for a great refresher course.

Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a hunter or just enjoy investigating tracks, you are practicing one of the most ancient arts known to man. Animals leave all kinds of other signs for us to interpret too like game trails, rubs, runs, beds, and droppings. Along with studying deer and oth-

er animal tracks, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll discuss stalking, wind awareness, and camouďŹ&#x201A;age to maximize the odds of seeing the animal being followed.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also brush up on blood trailing a wounded deer, discussing color consistency, and technique, so everyone is ready for opening day of gun season on Nov. 28. Registration is requested for this event; however, the program is free and open to the public.

For questions about this or any other park district programs or to register for the class, please call 5480165.

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Big Heat was one of the most intense and gritty noir ďŹ lms made during the genreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two decade prime.

Arriving in the latter half of that era (roughly 19411959), the ďŹ lm displayed the moral ambiguity and unďŹ&#x201A;inching violence the neo-noirs of the late 20th century would eventually cash in on.

The ďŹ lm follows Dave Bannion, a homicide detective investigating the apparent suicide of a fellow ofďŹ cer. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy the suicide story but quickly discovers his superiors donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appreciate him nosing around for more answers.

Lee Marvin is brilliant as Vince Stone, the crime

bossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lieutenant and lead muscle, and the ďŹ lm displays him as an unbridled sadist. Gloria Grahame is perfectly cast as Debby Marsh his girlfriend. Grahame was an actress of tremendous (and underutilized) talent. The Big Heat is one of the very best of a classic noirs and was directed by one of the alltime great noir directors Fritz Lang.

Join the Greenville Public Library on Nov. 17, 7 p.m. to watch The Big Heat as part of the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Third Floor Film Series.

As always, free popcorn, candy, coffee, and Jones Soda will be provided. David Nilsen will be leading a brief discussion after the ďŹ lm.

Arcanum MVCTC FFA members or shown with their new FFA jackets.

Jackets make return at Arcanum High School ARCANUM – New FFA jackets have arrived in Arcanum for the first time in over 20 years. Arcanum students will again be wearing the FFA Jacket as they represent their school with pride at local, state, and national events. Zipping up the official FFA blue corduroy jackets connects these students with the more than half a million FFA members across the nation. Official dress certainly causes FFA members to stand out in a crowd. At the same time, it allows members to be on an even playing field when participating in various FFA events and activities.

The jacket was first created by an FFA chapter from Fredericktown, Ohio.

In 1933, the Fredericktown FFA band performed at the National FFA Convention in Kansas City, and they wanted to wear something in addition to the dress shirt and trousers of the official FFA uniform back then. The group opted for a corduroy jacket that would unify and evoke pride in the band members, not knowing their new uniform would become a national FFA tradition. Eighty years later, the jacket continues to instill a sense of pride and belonging in all who wear it.

GREENVILLE – Dickman Supply, one of Midwest Ohio’s leading suppliers of industrial and electrical products, was recently named Member of the Year by IMARK. A member-owned marketing group comprised of over 900 independent electrical distributors, IMARK identified Dickman Supply as the top mid-sized distributor for their effective implementation of marketing and training programs and exemplary support of IMARK preferred suppliers.

“It is an honor to be named IMARK Member of the Year,” said Tim Geise, President and Owner of Dickman Supply. “We take pride in being able to offer our customers quality products at great prices, and being a committed member of IMARK allows us to do just that. With four locations, we can offer the selection of a national chain with the superior service of a local business.”

training program reflects that commitment.”

perior technical support and value added services.

Participating in Lead Poisoning Prevention GREENVILLE – To increase awareness of childhood lead poisoning prevention, the Darke County Health Department along with CDC, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, participated in National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week (NLPPW).

This year’s NLPPW theme, “Lead-Free Kids for a Healthy Future,” underscores the importance of testing your home, testing your child, learning about drinking water, and learning how to prevent lead poisoning’s serious health effects.

Nearly half a million children living in the United States have elevated blood lead levels that may cause significant damage to their health, estimates the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The estimate is based on children with a blood lead level of 5 micrograms per deciliter or higher using data from na-

tional surveys conducted in 2007-2008 and 2009-2010.

Major sources of lead exposure to U.S. children include lead-based paint (homes built before 1978) and leadcontaminated dust in deteriorating buildings. Children can also be exposed to lead from additional sources including contaminated drinking water, take-home exposures from a workplace, and lead in soil.

Despite the continued presence of lead in the environment, lead poisoning is entirely preventable.

Parents can reduce a child’s exposure to lead in many ways. Here are some simple things you can do to help protect your family: 1. Get Your Home Tested.

Screening tests are available in local retail stores or visit Ohio Department of Health for a list of certified inspec-

tors. Before you buy an older home, ask for a lead inspection by a certified inspector.

2. Get Your Child Tested.

Even if your young children seem healthy, ask your doctor to test them for lead.

3. Learn About Drinking Water. Water pipes in some older homes may contain lead solder where lead may leach out into the water. If interested in having your water tested contact your health department (fee ap-
