GREENVILLE – The Brethren Retirement Community (BRC) honored its resident veterans in the brick room Wednesday afternoon. At the request of the veterans that call the BRC home, the Greenville High School NJROTC color guard presented the colors. Tish Smith sang the National Anthem for the patriotic event. “Their stories are awesome,” said BRC housing manager and event organizer Jan Teaford. “We honor the Veterans every year with a Veterans Day event and this year they asked for the High School ROTC to come. They said that would really mean a lot to us to have them here because we were in their shoes not that many years ago.” “It means a lot to be here today because a lot of my family has been in

the Navy,” said NJROTC member Kelly Louk. “I have two (family) from Vietnam… Veterans Day means a lot to me.” Captain Keith Denman, GHS JRROTC instructor was pleased his students were invited to present the colors for the aging BRC Veterans as the students have studied the conflicts the veterans in attendance had served in. “We go over our nation’s conflicts as part of our class Naval Science II,” said Denman. “We teach World War II and the history of all our conflicts starting with the Revolutionary War and work through all the conflicts. The kids are well aware of what sacrifices have been made by the military plus a lot of their classmates from previous years are out there serving our country as we speak… they certainly understand it.” Tish Smith presented a vocal concert which included several patriotic songs.

Jarden expected to strengthen Neff RYAN BERRY

GREENVILLE – Earlier this month, Jarden Corporation announced it was acquiring Jostens and other business held by Visant Holding Corp. The deal was valued at $1.5 billion. One of those businesses acquired in the deal is Neff Motivation, Inc. based in Greenville. Andy Hannah, president of Neff, said he didn’t expect any changes at the Greenville location. “We are focused on the growth and the next chapter for the company.” He believes Jarden will take the company to the next level as they continue to provide value and quality to the high schools they serve. Although held by the same company, Jostens and Neff Motivation work

independently of each other. Martin E. Franklin, Jarden’s founder and executive chairman, commented, “We are pleased to have closed on our acquisition of Jostens on a timely basis with the support of the debt and equity markets. Jostens brings end-consumer channel diversiﬁcation and cross selling opportunities. Chuck Mooty, Jostens’ president and CEO, commented, “I am pleased to now ofﬁcially be part of the Jarden team. I know that Jostens’ employees and independent sales representatives share in my excitement as we will now be able to leverage the resources and brand expertise of Jarden to further innovate and develop our products and services to accelerate our growth.”

UNION CITY, OH – A concentrated effort that literally involved the entire Mississinawa Valley school body, plus volunteers, came together to honor more than 75 veterans at the 2015 Veterans Day Program Nov. 11. The hour-long program included commentary from students and videos depicting service, thanks, joy and heartbreak. The ﬁve branches of the military – Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard – were honored through a timeline of wars, from World War I to Afghanistan and the War on Terror. Veterans were asked to stand as their branch of service was recognized through slides and music. Mississinawa Valley Pre-School students thanked veterans with a presentation of poppies they’d made (with a little help from high school students). Veterans were asked to stand for a student body that applauded and held up signs thanking them for their service. Krista Miller told the

veterans that students had conducted fundraisers, including selling donuts at football games and ﬂags and stars at Parent-Teacher conferences. They raised $680.40 for The Wounded Warrior Project. The MV elementary students sang “Thank a Vet,” while patriotic music was presented by the MV Band and Choir. A special remembrance was offered for Vietnam veterans with a presentation about the

Vietnam Veteran Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. Prior to the event, veterans and the students who invited them were served breakfast in the cafeteria. The veterans being honored were appreciative. Denny Leckliter says his granddaughter insists, so they come every year. “I appreciate what they do for us,” he said. Harold Rodeheffer, 91, and a 1943 graduate of Mississinawa Valley, said it was nice they

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT

Police respond to public indecency, drug overdoses On November 3 police were dispatched to Wal-Mart regarding a sex offense complaint. WalMart’s asset protection associate advised a male had just exposed himself to a juvenile female. He pointed the male out, along with

his female companion, in line at a register. The ofﬁcer asked the two individuals, Ricardo Rivera and his mother, Pamela Vattekattu, to accompany him into the asset protection ofﬁce. The Wal-Mart employee said he witnessed Rivera

in housewares expose his penis to a young juvenile female and the juvenile’s mother in the aisle. The employee asked the mother and her child to leave the area; that he would handle the incident without further risk to them. They left the store prior to police arrival. When asked about the incident Rivera and his mother said they’d stayed together while in the store and he denied exposing himself. The officer saw in a video where the two had split up while shopping, and not stayed together as they had indicated. The employee provided a video of the incident to police. Rivera was charged with public indecency; both individuals were banned from the store. DRUG OVERDOSE On November 6 police and rescue responded to 711 E. Main St. regarding an overdose. The officer found Zackary Wilkerson lying on the living room floor; he appeared to be unconscious. He was experiencing physical prob-

lems; officers assisted him until Greenville Township arrived. Witnesses gave the officer a syringe that had been found in Wilkerson’s pocket; the officer observed what appeared to be track marks on Wilkerson’s arms. He was revived after Narcon was administered and was then transferred to Wayne HealthCare. Police are awaiting results from Wayne to decide whether or not felony drug abuse charges will be sought. On November 4 police and rescue responded to 222 W. Main St., Apt. 10, regarding an overdose. Police observed Shelby Thomas staggering as he walked on the sidewalk in front of the residence. A witness told police Thomas had overdosed on drugs. When asked, Thomas allegedly stated he had “snorted about 3 lines of heroin.” The officer noted Thomas was swaying and had him sit down for his own safety. He appeared lethargic and nearly fell asleep several times. The officer found two short straws in

a kitchen drawer. Thomas said he used them to snort the heroin he overdosed on. Thomas was transported to Wayne HealthCare. Police are awaiting results from Wayne to decide whether or not felony drug abuse charges will be sought. UNDERAGE CONSUMPTION On November 1 police were dispatched to the area of Wayne Avenue and Devor Street regarding a possible drunk driver who fell asleep while driving and was currently stopped in the roadway. The complainant had also told Dispatch the vehicle nearly struck a pole. The ofﬁcer observed the defendant (unnamed in the report) operating a vehicle on Washington Avenue near Devor Street. The defendant’s eyes appeared to be bloodshot, his speech was slightly slurred and he had an odor of an alcoholic beverage on him. There was also an open alcohol container in the center console closest to the driver’s seat. The defendant said he took a sip but that the container

didn’t belong to him. He successfully completed the ﬁeld sobriety test. He was issued a citation for Underage Consumption/Possession of Alcohol. WARRANTS On November 4 police were dispatched to 227 Anderson Ave. regarding an active warrant out of Darke County for David Allread, for trafﬁcking heroin. Allread was located in the residence, arrested and transported to Darke County jail.

PALESTINE – The Liberty Township Volunteer Fire Department and TriVillage Rescue teamed up with the Red Cross on Saturday (Nov. 7) as part of a state and national ﬁre safety campaign. The group literally went door-to-door to check residential and commercial structures for working smoke detector units. If it was determined there was nothing installed, was an outdated device or the structure just needed more… they not only gave away the life-saving units, the team installed them on the spot. The free smoke detectors were made available by the American Red Cross as part of their national Home Fire Cam-

paign. “This was also part of the Safe and Sound campaign currently going on with the State Fire Marshal’s Ofﬁce,” noted Liberty Township FD Chief Mark Loy. Marc Cantrell, a Disaster Program Specialist with the Northern Miami Valley Ohio Chapter of the American Red Cross, worked with the crews Saturday. At the end of the day, 97 smoke detectors were installed and at least one other was custom ordered by the Red Cross for a hearing impaired Hollansburg resident. “This is a great way to spread the word and to educate homeowners about the importance of having a working smoke detector installed at all times,” Cantrell told The

P4P continues to make a difference

Jim Zehringer, Director, Ohio Department of Natural Resources

ODNR director continues to serve his home base BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com FT. RECOVERY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jim Zehringer, served Darke County as State Representative from Distr. 77 from 2007 to 2011. He was replaced by State Rep. Jim Buchy when Gov. John Kasich appointed him Director of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). Many facets of his job still have a direct impact on Darke County. Like $2 gas? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The governor wants oil and gas developed safely in Ohio,â&#x20AC;? Zehringer said regarding one of ODNRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three main focuses, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but not at the expense of the environment and our citizens.â&#x20AC;? The price of gas is a result of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on in Ohio and ďŹ ve other states. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We recognize our challenges,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to get good regulations in place before it really hits.â&#x20AC;? There are currently 2,000 permitted wells, 1,500 have been drilled and over 1,000 are in production. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That 2,000 will be signiďŹ cantly higher,â&#x20AC;? Zehringer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need an infrastructure â&#x20AC;&#x201C; pipeline and plants â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that can handle it.â&#x20AC;? He noted they will be ready, adding â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very happy with where we are.â&#x20AC;? A second primary focus

is to improve the Ohio State Parks system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have 74 state parks that have to be updated and improved,â&#x20AC;? Zehringer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanks to the governor and Senator Faber (President, Ohio Senate) weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been given $88 million to do itâ&#x20AC;Ś thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the tip of the iceberg, but so far weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on target.â&#x20AC;? The third focus is a major challengeâ&#x20AC;Ś improving water quality throughout the state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just about Grand Lake St. Marys,â&#x20AC;? Zehringer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all the water.â&#x20AC;? The Ohio EPA is working with cities, villages and home septic systems. He added the agriculture community is â&#x20AC;&#x153;really stepping upâ&#x20AC;Ś but we have a long way to go.â&#x20AC;? The ODNR Directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s typical day starts by keeping up with farm and local news (Darke and Mercer Counties), then heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ ce for the ďŹ rst meetings of the day by 7:30. He noted one of his more enjoyable duties is presenting annual state grants to local communities like the $225,000 Clean Ohio grant he presented to the Darke County Parks on Nov. 2. Two other highly competitive grants presented annually are the Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Works and Recreational Trails grants.

Tickets remain for Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rafďŹ&#x201A;e GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Greenville Schools Foundation was established in 1999 with the mission to provide grants to teachers and staff and student organizations for needs that are not able to be met within the normal educational process. For this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraising, $10 tickets for a 500 club are being sold. There will be a drawing every fourth Thursday of each month from September through May. First prize is $50, second prize is $20 and third prize is $10 and your name will be put back in to possibly be drawn again. Only 500 tickets will be sold. Members of the committee selling tickets are Jim Sommer, Nicole Pohlman, Kathy Lockhart, Gretchen Davis, Dianne Brown, Su-

san Barker, Loretta Etzell, Julie Kirk, Jody Lockhart, Patti Jetter, Susan Shields and Joel Allread. Fewer than 200 tickets remain. Those who had their names drawn for September were Ken Neff, Regina Shields and Robin Hughes. The lucky October winners were Bryanna Vanden Bosch, Judy Whittaker and Teresa Hunt. Another ongoing way the committee raises money is through the sale of bricks to be placed in the brick Wave Way in front of the high school. The commemorative bricks can be used for birthdays, graduation or any special occasion. If you are interested in knowing more about this project, call Dianne Brown, 548-9895.

He alluded to the cross section of the community that takes part in P4P, including towns, realtors, factories, businesses and schools. Saluk explained in the six years P4P has been assisting the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic development efforts over 1,600 jobs of have been created, $120 million has been invested in capital expenditures which has resulted in an additional $50 million in annual payroll.

Workforce development is also working in local school districts. Last year the program celebrated Manufacturing Day by giving every sophomore in the county a tour of an area manufacturer and explaining the opportunities that are available.

Vets from two services, two wars, enjoy tribute BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY, OH – The admiration 11-year-old Alison Byram felt for her grandfather couldn’t be missed as she sat proudly with him during the “Honoring Our Veterans” program at Mississinawa Valley Nov. 11. Her 8-year-old sister, Emily, echoed the sentiment… “He fought in the war,” she said. Big sister said “He has served and I really appreciate that… a lot!” Vietnam Army Veteran Tom Petkewitz hugged his granddaughters and said,

“That was many, many years ago.” Earlier, following a comment about how proud his grandchildren were of him, he had responded, “I’m proud of them!” They are good students, he noted. But more than that, “We do a lot together. And they teach me things… dance steps, basketball.” He grinned. “How to behave.” “With basketball (referring to Alison), she’s getting better than me. I’m 71. She’s 11. She’s getting better.” In another part of the

hallway, 91-year-old WWII Veteran Harold Rodeheffer and his family were looking at some of his old photos. His son, Barry, pointed out his dad’s photo when he enlisted in the Navy after graduating from Mississinawa Valley in 1943. Daughter Susan Rodeheffer Crank and step-daughter Lisa Armstrong Rodeheffer pointed out his photo on the wall with the Class of ’43. Father and son had just returned Saturday from the Washington, D.C., Honor Flight out of Dayton. Ro-

deheffer served “stateside” during the war. He was responsible for U.S. Naval transportation needs. He and two buddies volunteered in Cincinnati. “We wanted to serve together,” he said, adding it didn’t work out that way. He was sent to New York, one buddy went to the Great Lakes and the other joined the Marines. Rodeheffer was delighted with the trip to D.C. and appreciated what Mississinawa Valley was doing for its vets. “I thought today was great,” he said.

Garst Swing Era Vet tribute uplifting BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – “It was raining when they got married… some say it’s good luck, some say it’s bad. I think it was good,” said Carol Niswonger. Carol and her brother Robert (Jr.) were honored guests at the Garst Museum’s Nov. 7 ‘Night at the Garst Canteen,’ which featured the WW II uniforms of their parents, Robert Sr. and Agnes Carpenter Niswonger. “This is great… wonderful,” she said of the display that had been designed for

the event. “I love those pictures, all blown up like that.” One was the photo taken on the day of their wedding. “We found it behind the mantel at the old house in Palestine,” said Robert. The event was about a love story during the war (both Robert and Agnes served, Robert in the infantry and Agnes as a WAC, playing in the Army band); the event was also about the Swing Era music of the time… Glen Miller’s “String of Pearls” kicked off the afternoon’s entertainment by the Swing Era Big Band and Beyond, a group of 10 musicians from Western Ohio. Drummer and announcer, Ken Monnier, introduced band members, including two from Greenville. GHS grad Johnny “Bob” Sloniger was on trumpet… and in reference to Duke Ellington, he introduced Greenville’s Duke of Music JR Price on the saxophone. About 60 attendees enjoyed WWII favorites like Chattanooga Choo Choo, Blue Moon and Sentimental Journey. “What transpired around that time was very special to us,” Monnier said as he introduced a patriotic medley

tribute to the armed forces. Later he noted a song that preceded the war. “It came out in 1938 but soldiers often referenced it during the war as they thought back to better times.” Band vocalist Mary Knapke sang “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” “This is a heartwarming story about a couple of Darke County residents,” Museum Director Clay Johnson said of the Niswongers and the band tribute to the era. Agnes likely played many of the songs that the tribute band was performing. “Last year’s Veteran’s event was kind of somber (Pfc Douglas Dickey)… this one is

more uplifting. A true love story.” Several of those in attendance took advantage of an opportunity to dance to the swing music, including 102year-old Roy Weikert with 89-year-old Marguerite Brinnig, and Johnson with his step-daughter 9-year-old Susannah Groves. “It’s fun!” said the youngster, shortly before she took a bow at the end of one of the numbers. The band played for about an hour and a half and attendees enjoyed refreshments prepared by the Fort GreeneVille Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Chestnut St. Marsh waterfowl discovered

Holidays at

GREENVILLE – Join a naturalist on Nov. 16, 8 a.m., at Chestnut Street Marsh, near the model airﬁeld driveway, to explore the interesting world of waterfowl. The marsh of Chestnut Street has a valuable ecosystem that offers a unique stopover location for many migrating birds. The surrounding levy has recently been cleared, and the

hike will focus there. From there, hikers will explore the walk in entrance to Shawnee Prairie and see what the prairies have in store. The walk will cover the paved and mown trails around the marsh while searching for a wide variety of birds and other species as they prepare for the coming winter. Remember to dress for the weather,

and use extreme caution when parking alongside the road. Meet the naturalist on the paved trail leading to the model airﬁeld. For any questions about this hike or any of the other programs offered by the Darke County Park District, call the Nature Center at (937) 548-0165 or visit www. darkecountyparks.org.

Ohio is honoring those who served America is the greatest country on earth and we live in the greatest state in this country. JIM BUCHY Our values OHIO and lifestyle REPRESENTATIVE could not be sustained without the sacrifice of the men and woman of our armed forces. The presence of the American military is felt in every community from Main Street to Wall Street. Those who serve and protect the United States should be supported and recognized for their efforts. Honoring veterans for their service has always been a priority of mine. There are over 866,000 veterans in Ohio, 293,000 of these solders served in the Vietnam War. Historically, Vietnam veterans returned home to a nation that was divided about the significance of the Vietnam Conflict and those who served. This reality is a travesty, as properly recognizing all service men and women is an important part of our nation’s responsibility. As a result of the hard work and dedication of families and veterans in western Ohio, a bill has been introduced to recognize two fallen service members from

the Vietnam conflict and their brigade, specifically, the 196th Light Infantry Brigade of Darke County. Robert L. Fowble Jr. and Jack E. Beam, both from Darke County, belonged to the brigade and paid the ultimate sacrifice in the Vietnam War. If the bill passes, State Route 571 from the southeastern corporation limits of Union City onward to Greenville would be known as the “196th Light Infantry Brigade SP4 Robert L. Fowble Jr. and PFC Jack E. Beam Memorial Highway.” This legislation is a just way to commemorate their sacrifice and remind Ohioans of the significance of sacrifices made in the Vietnam conflict. The families of the 196th Light Infantry Brigade have been very helpful in this process. Including all the members of this brigade in this process is important. However, a number of the veterans have been hard to reach as they may have relocated or have unlisted numbers. If anyone has any contact information for these men or their families, please call my office at 614-466-6344. Please give me your opinion on this topic and other important issues by completing a brief online survey at tinyurl.com/buchynovember2015.

READERS WRITE Political Correctness

Do you Dems really understand what the correct meaning of political correctness really is? It truly is an oxymoron. Or, are you being influenced by the misunderstanding and misinterpretation of everything? The Demoncrats put out. They have had this very distorted misinterpretation of everything including their misunderstanding misinterpretation of what political correctness really means. I am very concerned about America’s legacy. Also, I am very concerned that Dems are trying to use political correctness as a prescription for disaster. It is not a secret Dems have began to falsely believe, oh, to them it is very believable, that only they understand what is politically correct and that their understanding and interpretation of what it is politically correct. As American citizens, how many of you really believe these are only a few of the multitude of problems facing this country can and will be solved by using political correctness or do you really believe these things could be more likely be a prescription for disaster? The huge debt. The IRS scandal. The Benghazi scandal. The A.P. James Rosen fiasco. Obamacare right or wrong for the country. Untraceable and untrackable guns to Mexico. State Dept. miscues and miscalculations. NSA illegally recording and storing phone numbers and other information. The VA mishandling and mistreatment of our veterans. The application centers mishandling and gross mistakes made. Immigration controversy. Same sex controversy. The enormous waste throughout the entire government. Using divisiveness to upset everyone. Wide spread corruption by promoting people who should have been fired. Making decisions without proper authority. Not following the Constitution. The biggest thing telling deliberate lies

Other things like getting the debt paid off. Getting those scandals taken care of with possible prosecutions. Answering all the questions about Benghazi.

Location is a Bad Idea

Dear Editor: We would like to clarify some issues related to the proposed barns for the 8000+ hogs near Beanblossom and Arnold

Roads. We very much support agriculture in Darke County. We chose to live in this community years ago; we love its agricultural heritage and are proud of Darke County ranking near the top in the State in agricultural receipts. We are not opposed to hog barns in general, or the landowners in particular who propose to build the 8000+ hog operation. We think the location for this large of an operation is a bad idea. We feel there are too many people who live too close– over 100 homes in a one mile radius. Greenville City limits are just over 1 mile east. There are two large residential neighborhoods there, directly east of this site. The quality of life and property values of many citizens will be affected. We are also concerned about the approximately 100 water wells for the homes in this area and the potential environmental and health impacts caused by potential air and water pollution. Depending on the turnover of the hogs in a year, there could be many more than just 8000 a year occupying the barns. There could be more hogs living 1 mile from Greenville City limits that there are people in the City. They use a lot of water and create a lot of manure. The location is a bad idea and creates a potential

safety issue for the families nearby and the cars driving on these roads. Beanblossom and Seiler Roads were designed as residential roads. They are only 17 feet wide. According to the County Engineer, one legally loaded semi is like 9600 cars driving over the road. Is it the taxpayers who will pay for necessary road upgrades or repair of the damage caused by the truck trafﬁc to service all those hogs all year? We learned in a letter from Tyson Foods that “they have no plans to do business with the proposed facility” and so on behalf of all the neighbors, we would like to publically thank Tyson Foods for being the good neighbors they mention on their website. We don’t know who the landowners will now choose to do business with, but we hope they will also be good neighbors and recognize what nearly everyone in the neighborhood believes – this is a bad location for this type of project.

The Clays will be ministering in two local churches on Nov. 22. Sunday morning they will be at Calvary Bible Church, 9462 St. Rt. 571, Arcanum. Service is at 10 a.m. Rev. Bill Cornett would like to invite you to attend and share this time of worship. Sunday evening at 6 p.m., Nov. 22.

VERSAILLES – Last year, 15 scholarships were awarded to men in the community who are studying to be Catholic priests. The North Deaneries Seminarian Fund of the Darke County Foundation supported every seminarian from the Sidney and St. Mary’s deaneries of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. In thanking donors, seminarians made the following remarks: * “I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generous support of the seminarians of the northern deaneries. This makes a big impact on me and helps in reducing the need for loans. I cannot express enough my gratitude for your support in my journey as a seminarian.” * “I tell people often that without the support of our parishes, communities and friends, the priesthood would be a very hard road. We need financial support, yes; but what we need the most is prayers to be good and holy men of God.” * “I want to affirm the Foundation’s commitment to supporting local vocations in finance and prayer. It is with these forms of support that young people like myself can freely discern God’s will with the full encouragement of our home communities. I feel confirmed in discerning a ‘heroic priesthood’ when surrounded by so many Catholics committed to the mission Christ sent all of us on.” * “I am eternally grateful for the generosity of God’s children. The Lord has heard your cry for more priestly vocations. Your financial and spiritual support for seminar-

CMA

ians will yield a bountiful harvest.” * “Because of your generosity, I am able to pursue my studies and discernment without fretting over my ﬁnancial situation. Thank you for your love of Christ’s Church.” The scholarship fund was established in 2013 by Melvin and Mary Ann Stucke of Versailles, and the fund grew with additional donations from the community. The Stuckes have committed to match any 2015 donation up to $300. One hundred percent of donations go directly into the Seminarian Fund. Melvin emphasized that most seminarians incur tuition and living expenses aside from any ﬁnancial assistance provided by the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Undergraduate students in college seminaries receive limited assistance from the archdiocese. “We invite the community to join us in this effort to reinforce young men in their priestly studies,” said Melvin. “We feel that through the encouragement and prayer of so many supporters, the number of Catholic priests will continue to increase.” The North Deaneries Seminarian Fund will award scholarships again this year at the annual Serra Dinner for priests and seminarians in December. Donors may make a tax-deductible donation to the fund by writing a check to the Darke County Foundation (memo: Seminarian Fund). Mail to: Darke County Foundation, P.O. Box 438, Greenville, Ohio 45331. For more information, contact Melvin Stucke at (937) 526-3800.

Treaty City MC hosts 70th annual Peace Pipe Enduro BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – The Treaty City Motorcycle Club (TCMC) hosted it’s 70th running of the Peace Pipe Enduro Sunday. According to TCMC incoming Vice President Jeremy Pelaston, the race is one of the oldest around and this year’s 277 riders was a record number. Approximately 50 local riders competed in the annual race. The Peace Pipe is a timed, endurance event that scores each rider as they make it to various checkpoints throughout the 74+ mile course. The key is for each rider to

maintain a speed of 24 MPH and ﬁnish the event with the least amount of point deductions as possible. This year’s champion was Andrew Stokely of Indianapolis, Ind. who ﬁnished the course only dropping a total of six points overall. TCMC is a member of both the District 14 and Appalachian Championship Enduro Series (ACES). Motocross riders came from a number of surrounding states… including Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and West Virginia competed in the enduro. The name “Peace Pipe” comes from the historic Treaty of Greenville. The

ARCANUM – A new season… a new coach to lead a veteran Lady Trojans basketball team into the 2015-16 season. Matt Grote advances from coaching the Arcanum JV boys basketball team, taking over the reins of the Lady Trojans basketball program. “First year coach coming in with everybody back there are some expectations,” said Grote. “We knew that coming in.” “The biggest things is getting them in the gym working hard… and we are working hard,” continued Grote. ”We are getting better every day. We might not be clicking on all cylinders yet so we have a little ways to go. We’ll get there.” Arcanum returns three seniors, 5’4” Abby Ross, 5’7” Alexis Abner and 6’0” Rebecca Deao, all starters from the 2014-15 season. It’s really nice to have girls especially that have played together before and bringing everybody back it’s a huge thing especially girls that are talented as they are,” stated Grote. “They all play… they all play a little AAU somewhere. They get after it. They really love the game and that helps a lot too.” The Lady Trojans ﬁn-

ished fifth in the CCC out of 13-teams last year with an 8-4 conference record and 12-10 overall. “We hope we are in that position (competing for the CCC Championship trophy),” Gote said. It’s really hard to tell being my first year. I don’t know a whole lot about the schools around us but what I do know is they are going to come out and they are going to work hard. We’re going to expect a fight every night, getting the best from everybody. It’s not going to be given to us. We’re going to have to earn everything we get.” Making the transition from coaching boys to coaching girls is not an issue for the Lady Trojans’ new basketball coach. “We’re at a great school here at Arcanum,” Grote stated. “All the kids re-

ally want to be here. They want to work hard and that aspect it is all the same. The girls that we have are athletic so there is not a whole lot of difference… but there are several things here and there.” “I love doing them both (boys and girls),” Grote added. “I just love coaching. I’m getting after it. Being able to have the opportunity to be in charge of a program is something I’ve been working for. I’m just really thrilled with the opportunity, boys or girls. I know our team is going to come out… we’re going to work hard… we’re going to do little things right and we’re just going to get after it.” Coach Grote plans to open the season with a 10-player roster including three-seniors, ﬁve-juniors; Kaitlyn Zell, Stevie Johnt-

ing, McKenzie Sharritts, Brittany Kinney, Madison O’Daniel, a sophomore and a freshman. “We have three seniors… all starters last year,” said Grote. “We do have a freshman, Lexi Unger. She is on the roster. We are still trying to look where she is going to ﬁt in. We have her and sophomore Elle Siculan, so they will kind of mix it in with our three seniors and ﬁve juniors.” Returning for her senior year is Alexis Abner, the Lady Trojans all-time single game scoring leader with 37-points scored in a 2014-15 win over Milton Union. Arcanum opens season play on the road at TriVillage in the Bill Burkett Tournament on November 20.

Lady Wave basketball opens with a new team attitude BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – What a difference a year makes… six scrimmage quarters do not make a season, but one thing was obvious on the basketball court; both the Lady Wave varsity and junior varsity basketball teams have a new look and attitude coming into the 2015-16 season. “We’ve really come a long way,” said Greenville varsity Coach Rachael Kerns. “The girls have bought in and it’s been fun to watch them grow. I’m excited to see how much they continue to grow.” The Lady Wave varsity basketball team went 5-1 in a round robin scrimmage as the Celina Lady Bulldogs and the Tri-County North Lady Panthers invaded the Greenville High School gym Monday night with the Lady Wave junior varsity team going undefeated with a 5-1-1 record on the evening. The Greenville varsity girls faced off against Celina in the first period of the night and quickly were looking at a 7-0 deficit as the taller Lady Bulldogs took control. The Lady Wave would rebound to outscore the visitors 7-6 over the second half of the first period before falling 13-7 to go 0-1 on the night. “If we took the first four minutes out of the first one… we were down

7-0 so really how we finished out was a lot better than how we started,” said Kerns. “I think part of it was intimidation of their size a little bit. Celina had some very nice size girls that we don’t really have, but once we got over that initial fear things went better.” Building confidence with the game one comeback, the Greenville girls scored a 15-2 win over the Lady Panthers in the second quarter to even their record at 1-1 on the night. Period three had Greenville facing the Bulldogs a second time, but it was the Lady Wave turning the tables on Celina with a convincing 13-5 win moving to 2-1 in the Monday night varsity scrimmages. “I stressed before we started tonight we need to just take care of the ball,” Kerns said. “After the first quarter we had eight turnovers. I told the girls no matter who we play we’ll be in a game if we turn the ball over eight times… that’s so good.” The fourth quarter of the night had the Lady Wave getting their second win against North with an 8-5 edge. The new look Lady Wave defense held the girls from Mercer County to just 2-points in the fifth quarter of play using a 7-2 win to go 2-1 on the night against the Lady Bulldogs. “I told them 30-days…

See photos all season long at bluebagmedia.com/photos (Gaylen Blosser photo) 30-minutes of “D”, Kerns stressed. ”We just have to continue to work on it. We started out in that first one fouling way too much but part of that is they’re calling things a lot tighter than they used to. We’ve got to learn to play good defense. We are much further along already this year than where we finished last year defensively.” The final quarter of the night went to the Lady Wave with an 11-6 win over Tri-County North as Greenville would put five consecutive wins in the book and finish 5-1 on the night. “I can’t take anything away from my girls,” stated Kern, “they definitely

hustled tonight.” After the opening loss, the final five quarters of the night had the Lady Wave averaging 10.8 points per quarter while the defense was holding the visiting schools to 4.0 points per period. The Lady Wave JV squad was just as impressive with an opening 11-0 win over Tri-County North followed with a 1010 score against the Lady Bulldogs. Greenville used backto-back 11-4 wins over North and Celina while closing out the night with a 5-0 win over the Panthers and taking the final period of the night 15-3 over the Celina JV girls.

Wave Basketball opens with 3-way scrimmage BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser @earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – The Anna Rockets and the Miamisburg Vikings rolled into town Saturday morning for the first basketball scrimmage of the 2015-16 season. “We’re excited to get going,” said Greenville Coach Michael Bashore. “This is a different team. We have the same goals but we are going to get there a different way than we did last year.” Taking the court for the opening tip was Greenville’s Clay Guillozet, Isaiah Gable, Aaron Rich, Peter Pandy and Devin Hendrix. Greenville defeated the Rockets 22-11 in the first quarter of the morning with the Wave jumping out to a 9-0 lead with Isiah Gable drilling back-to-back threes to open the season’s scoring. Clay Guillozet followed with a trey bringing a timeout from the Anna bench. The Wave went on to finish the period with the doubledigit win. “We are very fortunate to have two kids like Isaiah and Clay that can both put plenty of points up on the board in a hurry,” Bashore said. “Anna is going to be really good this year. They are physical. That is why we like scrimmaging them.” Game two of the day had the Wave dominating the blue and white from Miamisburg with a 22-5 win. “We played with a lot of energy early,” said Bashore. “We’re kind of like last year when things go well… it went really well for us.” “Aaron Rich played really well in spurts today,” Bashore stated. “He is stepping into a lot bigger role than what he had in the past. We were able to control the glass. We didn’t give up any second chance points early on… that’s why we were able to get out to those leads.” “They (guards Peter Pandy and Devin Hendrix) do a nice job of rebounding out of the guard position. We don’t have the luxury of last year. Everybody has to re-

bound this year.” “It’s nice to have athletic guards… that is where we’re different from last year,” added Bashore. “We are more athletic on the floor one through five. We are going to be able to get after it a little more. It’s going to be a little different than last year.” The Wave’s third matchup of the day had the Green Wave going 3-0 with a 14-9 win over the Rockets. The Green Wave would use a Devin Hendrix triple to take an early game four 5-0 lead over Miamisburg, but it was the Vikings taking advantage of a late threepointer to break a 12-12 tie and get a 15-12 win. Greenville would make it 4-1 on the day scoring a 16-12 win against Anna with the highlight of the period coming from a Guillozet steal leading to the senior’s second dunk of the day. Miamisburg would take an early 3-2 lead in the final period of the day’s scrimmages only to have Guillozet drill a three-pointer giving the Wave a 5-3 advantage before a Gable full court fast break finished off with a slam dunk giving the Wave a 7-3 lead. The new look Wave also got full court fast break layups from Trae Wood and Hendrix propelling Greenville to a 14-11 win while going 5-1 in the six-periods played.

ANSONIA – Ansonia Athletic Director Matt Macy has worn several hats since graduating from Arcanum High School in 1996. Macy lettered in football, basketball and baseball during his four years at Arcanum and was allconference in baseball and football for two years. “I was just a letterman in basketball… I was mostly a foul machine,” chuckled Macy. “I was on Randy Baker’s ﬁrst baseball team in ’95.” “My opportunities to work with Matt was when he was in middle school as a student,” said Matt’s former Arcanum-Butler Middle School Principal Dr. Steve Gruber. “I’ve watched him go through high school and from a distance his career to this point…he does really well with young people.” “Matt is one of those young men that you would

trust with any kind of opportunity,” added Gruber, “to know that it would be done with integrity and that it would be done right.” Macy enrolled at the University of Dayton where he was a four-year letterman for the Flyers football team. He finished his career playing in 33-straight games at left tackle where he never missed a game or a practice while playing for Hall of Fame Coach Mike Kelly. “My first job was Chaminade Julienne right out of college,” said Macy. “I coached a couple of guys that went to the NFL.” From there Macy went on to coach at Augustana College in Rock Island, IL where the team was a topfive Division III football team. “Home of Kenny Anderson (former Cincinnati Bengals quarterback),” Macy said. “There is a big statue of him there.” From there Macy’s coaching career took him

to St. Louis where he spent the next six years as an offensive coach at McKendree University, a top ten NAIA football program. A coaching change moved Macy and his young family closer to home where he accepted a football coaching job with Earlham College in Richmond, IN. Macy’s six years at Earlham included a stint as interim head coach

of the Quakers. Macy’s coaching position at Earlham included football recruiting requiring him to spend weeks at a time on the road away from his family. After 14-years of college coaching experience, Macy returned to his Darke County roots to accept the Ansonia Athletic Director’s job, a position he is pleased to hold. “There is always something to do,” said Macy of his AD job. “I like the role I have now.” “I try to support all the coaches” continued Macy. “Young coaches especially… help them develop. I try to be a mentor.” “Matt has always demonstrated a strong work ethic,” stated Dr. Gruber. “He has always had a purpose to his life and that was to do the very best he can.” Matt and his wife Heather reside in Arcanum with their four children, Aidan (13), Mollie (10), MJ (7) and Addie (6).

Moore returns to FM as Lady Jets new basketball coach

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com PITSBURG – The Franklin Monroe Lady Jets basketball program begins the 2015-16 season with a new head coach returning to her alma mater to face the challenge of rebuilding a winning tradition. “I am very excited,” said Coach Abbey Moore a 2006 graduate of FM. “I have a lot of pride in this school with graduating from here. Coming back it means the world. Being a coach is something I have always wanted to be, but to be a coach here… it’s almost like a dream come true.” Moore was a four-year letter winner while playing for the Lady Jets and went on to play a year of college ball for Capital University before completing her education at Wright State. “We are in the works of rebuilding. We are young. Quite a bit of inexperience at the varsity level coming in,” said Moore. “I have a few girls with some varsity experience but it’s just that rebuilding process. We have had a few rough years here and I’m looking to bring back the competitive attitude.” “I have Hannah Eley as a starter coming back. Allyson Masterson saw signiﬁcant varsity playing

time last year. Carrie Baker my lone senior played her freshman year but did not play her sophomore and junior years. Having her back filling in that leadership role is good. I’ve seen some good things out of her at practice. Getting her back in the groove of things after a couple of years has been a big help to our team.” The team will need to rely on quickness and defense as the Lady Jets will not bring an abundance of height to the court on game day. “That’s a struggle,” said Moore of her team’s size. “Hannah is my tallest, Kinsey (Goins) is up there. They are my two big inside. Brittany McNutt has a little bit of height. Allie is not real tall but she’s aggressive inside. She’s a gogetter, she’s strong and aggressive but height wise we are lacking a little bit.” “Danielle McVey saw some significant playing time last year on varsity… Tara Goubeaux, Kinsey Goins was a starter last year. Kennedy Morris is my lone freshman.” Coach Moore has nine girls in the high school program which does not provide the numbers for FM to field a JV team, but the future is encouraging at the junior high level. “I have a few grades

My junior high program has good numbers. I have six girls in the eighth grade and 11 in the seventh grade. We are trying to build that excitement. We had a great youth program over the summer trying to build those numbers up.” “We have a great community,” Moore said. “I’m so happy to have this opportunity. How many people can say they get to go back to their alma mater

and be the head varsity coach? It’s always been a dream of mine and I’m ready to get going.” My administration here is very supportive. I thank them for the opportunity that they have given me and appreciate everything they do. The FM Lady Jets open the season at the Bill Burkett Tournament November 20 at Tri-Village.

Creek valley in the spring of 1805. Shawnee warrior Tecumseh and his brother Tenskwatawa the Prophet were leading an Indian revival in an attempt to secure their lands as was designated in past treaties. Thousands of people from dozens of tribes lived in the area until the spring of 1808. August 14 of 1808 John Devor platted the ﬁrst streets of what is now modern Greenville by utilizing the streets of the old fort. This date is the ofﬁcial start date for Green-

ville as was celebrated at its Sesquicentennial in 1958 and Bicentennial in 2008. Then in 1817 Darke County was established when it split from Miami County. You’ll see many original maps, document, letters, and the Treaty of Greene Ville and hear more stories than there is time for! Greenville has been the site of many signiﬁcant events in our country’s history which you will come to appreciate. Richard has spent many years in meticulous research and enjoys sharing his ﬁndings.

Haworth cuts ribbon on new ofﬁce

Santa will meet area children on Dec. 12 at Greenville BPW’s Breakfast with Santa.

GREENVILLE – Andria Haworth was joined by friends, associates and members of the Darke County Chamber of Commerce for the ribbon cutting and grand re-opening celebration at her Edward Jones ofﬁce, 684 Wagner Ave., Suite B., Greenville. Haworth has been with Edward Jones for 13 years with 10 of those years serving clients in Piqua. In February 2012, Haworth came back

home to open an office in Greenville. The new office opened on Sept. 10. Edward Jones is a Fortune 500 company that provides financial services for individual investors. Every aspect of the firm’s business, from the types of investment options offered to the location of branch offices, is designed to cater to individual investors in the communities in which they live and work.

GREENVILLE – Caring for a chronically ill loved one can be emotionally and physically draining. According to the National Family Caregivers Association, more than 50 million people have acted as caregivers at some time over the past year. National Caregivers Month is a time to recognize and support these overlooked heroes. “Take the time to reach out and offer support to those you know are caring for a loved one,” suggests Jaime Brown, Director of Admissions at Heartland of Greenville. “Simple things like bringing dinner, offering transportation or running an errand, even taking a turn caring for the family member while the caregiver takes a break, can be a huge relief to someone who is providing 24-hours-aday, 7-days-a-week care.” For those charged with

the in-home care of an ill or elderly family member, the caregivers own health may suffer. Recognizing signs and symptoms of poor health is the ﬁrst step in keeping healthy. Signs of caregiver stress may include: disturbed sleep, depression, lack of energy, tearfulness, difﬁculty concentrating, change in weight, suicidal thoughts, increased irritability, argumentative, feelings of hopelessness, and physical exhaustion or injury from lifting, dressing or bathing. Successful interven-

tions. Reservations, along with payment, should be sent to Greenville BPW, c/o Susan Fowble, 5965 Willis Road, Greenville, OH 45331.

Haydn, Sir Hubert Parry and Leroy Anderson. DPYS comprises 59 students in grades 6 through 12 from 27 area schools. Membership in the orchestra is through competitive audition. Local students participating include Anthony Masso-Rivetti, Jacob Troutwine, Ethan Key and Alex Vehre.

BRADFORD – Come to the Crochet & Knitting classes at Bradford Public Library. They are held every fourth Tuesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. The next class is Nov. 24. You might be an experienced knitter or a brandnew “I just want to learn” crochet individual. You will love the comradery and helpful hands as you create your own knitted or crocheted item. Bring your needles, hook and some yarn and get ready for some expert help and friendly advice. Call the library at 448-2612 for additional information.

tion to prevent mounting stress often relies on the ability of the caregiver to “take a break” through friends and family support or through a respite care program. Making the time to take care of oneself is important to good health. Tips include: exercise – take a walk or do some stretching, get some fresh air, make sure you are eating regularly and well-balanced meals, try to maintain good sleeping habits, keep in touch with others and ask for help. Heartland of Greenville offers respite servic-

es, care tips, home safety tips, advice on selecting a health care agency and counseling support for those who may need a helping hand or advice. Their respite and vacation packages can help caregivers take the necessary time to reenergize. For more information about Heartland of Greenville’s programs and support services, contact Jaime, 243 Marion Drive, Greenville, Ohio 45331.

The Holidays Are Here – Stress! With the holiday season approaching, stress can go through the roof. Planning for get-togethers, visiting friends and family, additional school activities, giftgiving, managing a budget and even just the reduced daylight hours due to the winter season can increase the stress level we experience. Regular routines of exercise and eating healthy food may even take a back seat to all the festivities. You might even have trouble getting a good night’s rest. All of this can add up to trouble where stress-management and weight management are concerned. Perhaps you have heard of the hormone cortisol. Cortisol is a hormone necessary for many of our bodily functions (too much detail to cover in this article, in fact). It is often called the “stress hormone” because when stress increases, cortisol increases. High levels of cortisol can actually cause barriers to weight management, and can even make it difﬁcult to lose weight. During the holiday season, stress levels can increase, thus making cortisol levels higher than normal, resulting in negative health effects.

Sometimes, higher cortisol triggers us to eat more of the foods that help to pack on unwanted weight. Cortisol increases can be caused by sleep deprivation, severe calorie restriction, and even prolonged/ intense aerobic activity, although it returns to normal after eating. While there are other factors that increase cortisol, these are amongst those that can be managed with speciﬁc actions. Managing stress, and therefore helping to keep cortisol in check can be tricky but not impossible. Here are ideas to get you started. They are fairly simple and do not require the purchase of supplements. Give one or two of these a try this season. You might

With the holiday season upon us, many people’s schedules are hectic once again. There are social events and family gatherings to attend, shopping ventures to make, and decorating to be done. While fun, the holiday season can be a time of added pressure, which leads to stress and other unhealthy situations. At a time when you want to be at your best, stress can affect your physical well-being. The American Psychological Association says the hustle and bustle of the holidays has psychological consequences for some people. More people are inclined to feel that their stress increases, rather than decreases, around the holidays. The National Institute of Mental Health says chronic stress can lower immunity and cause excretory, digestive

and reproductive systems to stop working properly. Stress also may cause you to eat unhealthy snacks to cope, and that can lead to unwanted weight gain. Stress is not the only potential health hazard that can arise around the holidays. A greater number of parties expose you to an abundance of foods and drinks you may not consume on a regular basis, and that can lead to a lot of mindless eating. Weight gained during this time of year can be difﬁcult to shed come January, when colder temperatures challenge many peoples’ motivation to exercise. Also, social settings put you in close contact with a greater number of people, potentially increasing your exposure to germs. You can still feel your best during the holidays.

be surprised how much better you feel. 1. Get plenty of sleep. If you are in the cycle of drinking a lot of caffeine to stay awake, but then can’t sleep at night, start cutting back on the caffeine to allow your body to rest better at night. Better rest at night can help to keep cortisol lower. 2. Take time to unwind. During the holidays, we are not only trying to manage a normal day of priorities, but also trying to ﬁt in all the shopping, baking, get-togethers, and everything else that may be part of the season. A quick walk (even 10 minutes can help), meditation, or even a massage can help to reduce cortisol. 3. Laughing can relieve stress. Hang out with funny friends. If you are tense and feeling stressed, ﬁnd a way to give yourself a laughing break. 4. Make a commitment to yourself to eat a balanced diet, especially during this busy season. Stock your refrigerator and cabinets with vegetables and fruits, lean proteins and healthy grains. 5. Exercising regularly can help to manage cortisol, but be careful to not

overdo it. Spending hours in the gym can actually drive cortisol up. Keeping gym sessions focused can keep stress managed, and therefore help to manage cortisol. 6. If ﬁnances during the holidays stress you out, make a realistic budget and stick to it. See the recipe section at the end of this article for some budgetfriendly home solutions. 7. Listen to calming music. Music can set the stage for slower breathing, settling down for the evening to get a good night’s sleep and even help to reduce blood pressure and it can even to help you think more clearly. Remember that your health is important, and it is much more than eating and exercising for your goals. Sleep, stress management, and mental well-being all contribute to your overall wellness. Taking a few minutes for yourself when your schedule is tight can help you to keep cortisol managed so that the holidays don’t take a big toll on you. Be sure to consult with your physician before starting any new nutritional and/or exercise program. Diana Unger is a certiﬁed

Follow these tips for maintaining a healthy mind and body. • Get the flu vaccine. The flu vaccine can protect you against various strains of the flu. Get a flu shot before the holidays so you are ready for cold and flu season. • Carry disinfecting wipes. Germs can linger on surfaces long after an infected person has come and gone. Studies from researchers at the University of Arizona in Tucson have found the flu virus and even the antibiotic-resistant bacteria MRSA on airline tray

tables. Buses, trains and doors all may be harboring germs. Wipe down surfaces with disinfecting wipes and allow them to air-dry before touching them. This can help you avoid coming into contact with germs. • Balance your activities. It can be tempting to overbook your schedule with a ton of activities, but this may ultimately prove stressful. Leave days open to relax and do things you want to do, such as viewing Christmas light displays or even just unwinding at home with a good book. Try delegating

some tasks to others in the household so you don’t take on too much responsibility. • Keep up an exercise routine. Don’t stray too far from your exercise schedule. You may have to move workout times to free up other time later in the day for shopping or parties. Early morning is a good time to exercise because it gets you moving ﬁrst thing in the morning and might even encourage you to hit the sack a little earlier each night, ensuring you get all the sleep you need. Exercise also can improve energy levels and

relieve stress. • Don’t focus on food. Focus more on enjoyable activities that keep you moving rather than always being seated around the table for a big meal. Save indulgences for one or two treats on the holidays and eat sensibly otherwise. • Talk to someone. If the holidays have you feeling blue, talk to a friend or family member. If you need more professional support, ﬁnd a social worker or psychologist that can help you work through stress and other feelings.

Recently, several readers have asked me to publish these cost-effective “recipes” that I personally use. I hope you find them useful and budget-friendly.

1 glass jar Baking soda to fill half the jar Optional: 5-10 drops essential oils of your choice After adding essential oil to the baking soda, close the jar tightly and shake thoroughly. Place the open jar in a discreet corner of the room to absorb smells. This works great in bathrooms and other small rooms. Make the above a carpet deodorizer by making holes in the lid (nail and hammer on a safe surface) – or use a clean plastic jar like an old parmesan cheese jar with holes in the lid. Sprinkle on area rugs or carpet and let it sit for 10 minutes before vacuuming.

Quitting smoking now can pay immediate dividends Few habits are as addictive or harmful as smoking tobacco. As a result, it should come as no surprise that quitting smoking is one of the most common New YearÕs resolutions. While lung cancer, emphysema and chronic bronchitis are most often linked to smoking, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warn that smoking has the potential to harm nearly every organ of the body. Smoking can cause many diseases and reduce the overall health of anyone who smokes regularly. Cigarettes contain approximately 600 ingredients. In addition to nicotine, tobacco smoke may contain acetone, ammonia, arsenic, lead, tar, formaldehyde, and benzene. Many of these ingredients are found elsewhere in solvents, cleaners and adhesives. Carbon monoxide that is produced in cigarette smoke (which is the same harmful gas that is produced from heating equipment and car exhaust systems) can be deadly and reduce the capacity of cells to carry oxygen. Many of the ingredients in tobacco

products are carcinogenic, meaning they have the potential to cause cancer. The American Lung Association says that smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States, causing more than 438,000 deaths per year. The ingredients in cigarettes can cause DNA mutation, oxidative stress, which contributes to the aging process, chronic inﬂammation, and a reduction in antioxidants, which help ﬁght various illnesses. Tar and other metals in their tobacco smoke can stick to the walls of the lungs and reduce their function. Quitting smoking immediately lowers your risk for smoking-related diseases and can add years to your life. The American Cancer Society says that heart rate and blood pressure drop within 20 minutes of quitting. After 12 hours, the carbon monoxide level in your blood returns to normal. Circulation and lung function can improve in a matter of weeks. The CDC says your risk for heart attack drops sharply just one year after quitting smoking.

Within two to ﬁve years of quitting, risk for stroke falls to roughly the same rate as a nonsmoker’s. Another immediate beneﬁt of quitting is that, once you quit, you are no longer putting others at risk for illness from exposure to secondhand smoke. In addition, the interior of your home and car will smell better, and your hair and clothes will no longer carry the hallmark aroma of cigarette smoke. The ACS notes that studies have indicated that roughly 25 percent of smokers who use medicines can

stay smoke-free for more than six months. Counseling and the emotional support of friends and family can improve success rates as well. ThereÕs also early evidence that combining certain medicines may work better than using a single drug. It may take a few attempts and different strategies to ﬁnd a smoking cessation program that works for you. Consult with your doctor about quitting smoking and discuss each option with your physician before giving it a try.

Haley Wampler, Ansonia

Edison CCP student gets community service at the polls BOB ROBINSON

ASSOCIATE EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – It was a long day and a hectic one for Edison State Community College CCP student Haley Wampler as the Ansonia High School senior worked on her community service requirements by volunteering as an election official on Nov. 3. “Election official,” she said. “That’s a scary term. I worked for the government. Really scary. That meant I had to do everything right… just a little intimidating.” Haley put in a 17-hour day, only taking time off to grab some lunch and vote at her local polling place. She turned 18 on Aug. 25 and registered to vote on Sept. 29 at the Darke County Election Board Office. She was asked if she’d like to serve as a poll worker. She immediately accepted and was assigned to a precinct in Versailles. While she could have been paid for the job, she chose to use it as community service. “Ansonia High School requires 15 hours of community service,” she said. “NHS (National Honor Society)

requires 15 hours a semester. That’s 45 hours, so this was a good start.” This was the ﬁrst time “tablets” were used to replace the “dinosaur book” of voter addresses used in the past. The 18-year-old was able to help other poll workers get accustomed to the new technology. “I was the youngest one there by about 20 years,” Haley said. “I was kind of the go-to person if they had issues with the tablets.” Trafﬁc was heavy early in the morning as people were going to work, and again as people got off of work. Haley was disappointed in one aspect of the job… “I was surprised at how uninformed people were,” she said. “These were intelligent people; they just didn’t know about the issues.” She added she wasn’t allowed to explain them, either. “I couldn’t give them any information (about that) at all.” Haley has already signed up to volunteer for the 2016 November election. “The issues (last November) were important,” she said. “But this one is about my country. It’s at the top of my list.” She asked only that people get involved and be informed.

Vaccine reminder for seventh graders GREENVILLE – For all current seventh graders, this is your reminder to finish your HPV series next week. The Darke County Health Department is holding a special clinic on Nov. 18, 3–6 p.m., so that all who started this series at the April drive-thru can conveniently finish. This final dose of HPV is free; provided through the Ohio Dept of Health and the VFC program. Anyone who received the first dose of HPV in April and has not yet received the second dose are welcome to attend this

clinic. Their goal of 100 percent completion of the HPV by this special group of teens would be phenomenal, but it requires your participation. The Darke County Health Department still has quadrivalent ﬂu vaccine available for ages six months and up. Come to their regular clinic every Tuesday, 8-10:30 a.m. and 2-5 p.m. Flu shots are also available on a walkin basis every day, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. They can bill most insurance companies for this. Call 548-4196 if you have any questions.

GREENVILLE – Main Street Greenville’s Board of Directors and the Parade Committee have named State Representative Jim Buchy as the 2015 Hometown Holiday Horse Parade Grand Marshal. When selecting the Grand Marshal for 2015, Representative Buchy was a natural choice. “Representative Buchy has served on and off in public ofﬁce for our community since 1980, in that time he has made countless contributions to our community and equestrian agriculture throughout the state,” said Amber Garrett, executive director for Main Street Greenville. “Jim is a great man who has given of himself in so many venues. He travels to Columbus to make our voices heard, yet maintains a very real presence in our community. I am honored to consider him a friend,” said Diana Stebbins, Horse Parade chairperson. In his capacity as State Representative, Buchy has been a fervent promoter of community values and the success of businesses in Greenville. “Greenville is the best place in the world to live work and rear a family.” Buchy said, “Activities such as the Holiday Horse Parade, exemplify our community and attract new business and families to invest in the place we call home.” Buchy who will retire from public ofﬁce in January 2017 plans to remain involved in the community and says you can expect to see him at community functions and school events with his grandchildren. “Sharon and I are very blessed with wonderful grandchildren.”

Buchy said, “We are very excited about the prospect of attending more of their events and continuing our efforts to help the local community grow.” The committee reminds spectators to stay off of the street during the parade and do not try to cross S. Broadway once the parade has begun. In addition, do not dangle your legs over the edge of the curb. “We want a safe environment for everyone. For those who are watching the parade and for those who bring their horses to participate,” said Chief Dennis Butts, Greenville Police Dept.

Band of Pride director sees bright future GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The GHS school band is under the leadership of ﬁrst year director Erick Von Sas a Hanover, PA native and graduate of Delone Catholic where he played the tuba in the high school band. A graduate of the University of Dayton, Von Sas began his teaching career at St. Marys Central Catholic, a division VII football school in Sandusky. After a year at Central, Von Sas accepted a teaching position with Greenville Schools. He is pleased with the support from the school administration, parents, students and public and sees great potential. “Doug Fries and Jeff Cassel have been nothing but champions for me,” Von Sas said. “They have been great from an administrative standpoint. Mr. Fries came to the show at Piqua which was awesome. It was just a nice tip of the hat to me. It was great to see that involvement from the administration.” “I have gotten a lot of positive comments from many people,” continued Von Sas. “The biggest

thing that the community can do to support us is just keeping positive because it will grow if kids want to be there… and kids want to be there when they are successful. When they are successful and people notice, that’s the biggest PR you can get.” “A marching band has to be the most visible advocate for the school as possible,” said Von Sas. “The more that we can support what’s going on, the better. It’s more fun that way… it’s enjoyable for everybody.” “There is a lot of potential,” stated Von Sas. “Brian McKibben has been doing a good job at the junior high. We’re going to keep on growing. The biggest time of the year to grow educationally and grow as far as sound and quality of musicianship happens right now, from around November to May. Von Sas believes the Greenville Band of Pride can and will return to the prominence it once held in the community. “I think somewhere along the way we lost a spark and my philosophy is you have to have a good time but you also have to be learning and growing as a person because good music comes from good people.” The Greenville music

Erick Von Sas is new to the area, but he is ﬁnding a lot of support for Greenville’s Band of Pride.

department has a wellstructured program in place to continue its path to success and greatness. Von Sas welcomes back students that may have ‘dropped out’ over the past several years, “especially anybody that feels like they lost interest,” Von Sas said. “They are welcome to come sit in on a rehearsal or come to a concert or anything like that. Just experience what we’ve done so far this year.” “Fifth grade is when we start,” shared Von Sas. “Mr. Price and I have organized a couple of recruiting events at East School, one right before Thanksgiving and then we’ll have signups around February or March. We’ll have band

instrument “petting zoos” around May so the kids can get their hands on a horn or percussion or whatever they would like to play.” “Right now we’re in a really good position to do well in our concert season,” said Von Sas. “We have a 7 p.m. concert at Memorial Hall on Dec. 17 with both high school concert bands, the orchestra and the jazz band. Mr. J. R. Price leads the orchestra and jazz band.” The GHS pep-band will be on stage at all varsity boys’ home basketball games this season. “We’ll have a pep band,” said Von Sas with a smile. “We have about 35 kids signed up right now. We will be on the stage.”

General Information The Sheriff is issued Orders of Sales from the Clerk of Courts Office. Sales are advertised in The Early Bird once every week for three consecutive weeks. The Sheriff’s Office does not mail or give away a list of properties or information about purchasing foreclosed property. The properties are not available for tour or inspection as the Sheriff’s Office does not have keys to any properties. Prior to the sale, most properties are appraised from

the outside only. The property is sold “as is”, caveat emptor (let the buyer beware). The Sheriff’s office does not have information on liens or taxes. Real estate tax information can be found at the following web site: darkepropertymax.governmax.com real estate appraisal database. All sales are held in the meeting room of the County Commissioners Building, 520 South Broadway, Greenville. All sales begin promptly at 10:00 a.m.

Bidding information Bidding starts at two-thirds of the appraised value. Successful bidders must deposit 15% of the purchase price at the time of the sale. Personal check (proper ID, local check signed in our presence), cashier’s check or cash is accepted. The buyer will be required to sign a disclaimer that relieves the Sheriff and appraising agents of liabilities of hazards, or past due bills, as it it the responsibility of the buyer to look into these matters before

the sale date. The unpaid balance of the purchase price must be paid at the confirmation of the sale, which is approximately 30 days after the date of sale. More Information You may contact Abby Wilson at (937) 547-4603 if you require further information. A listing of properties can be viewed at darkecountysheriff.org.

United Way receives grants for library GREENVILLE – The Darke County United Way recently received three grant awards for the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. The Dolly Parton Imagination Library program provides a free book every month to children 5 years old or younger. There are only two criteria to be enrolled in the program. The ﬁrst is the child must live in Darke County and the second is he/she must be 5 years old or younger. No other criteria are required for this program. According to a study conducted in April 2013 by the U.S. Department of Education and the National Institute of Literacy, 32 million adults in the U.S. can’t read. That’s 14 percent of the population. Twenty-one percent of adults in the U.S. read below a ﬁfth

grade level, and 19 percent of high school graduates can’t read. Dolly Parton created the Dolly Parton Imagination Library with the intent to combat illiteracy in the United States. The purpose of the Dolly Parton Imagination Library is to foster a love of reading among preschool children and their families by providing them with the gift of a specially selected book each month. By mailing high quality, ageappropriate books directly to their homes, children will be excited about books and feel the magic that books can create. Moreover, the program ensures that every child will have books, regardless of their family’s income. The Darke County United Way received grant

DP&L Foundation – Christy Baker, Executive Director of the Darke County United Way receives a check from Holly Wiggins, Director of Community & Corporate Social Responsibility for the DP&L Company

awards from the DP&L Foundation ($12,500), The Ruth & Emerson Booher Fund ($2,550), and the Ami McClurkin Community Fund through the Darke County Foundation ($1,200). These awards will allow the Darke County United Way to serve approximately 625 children this year. Currently, 562 children in Darke County receive a book each month. “There are over

3,000 children currently living in Darke County who are 5 years old or younger. We are only serving 19 percent of the eligible children in our community. We’ve only scratched the surface with what this program can do. We are extremely grateful for the grant awards we have received but we are aware we still have work to do,” said Christy Baker, executive di-

rector for the Darke County United Way. Baker added that in order for all 3,000+ children to receive a book every month, the Darke County United Way would need to raise nearly $80,000. To enroll your children or for information in how you can get involved through a ﬁnancial gift towards the program, contact the Darke County United Way at 5471272.

Arcanum Library announces events ARCANUM – The rest of the year promises to be busy for everyone as preparations are made for cold weather, end of the year school events, and holidays. The Arcanum Public Library hopes this is a joyous season for all.

To help with the busy time, they would invite the public to a free event, “Organized by Olive.” This program will help you with ideas to insure a hassle-free and organized holiday season. Call ahead or sign up at the library

GREENVILLE – Darke County Parks naturalist and avid tracker, Hannah Linebaugh, invites everyone to join her on Nov. 19, 7 p.m., at Shawnee Prairie Preserve for her Survival Skills Series program “Reading their Stories: Tracking for Beginners and Beyond.” Tracking is the ancient art of following animal signs. Whether for food or fun, tracking is a window into the lives and behaviors of wild animals, but it doesn’t simply end at track identiﬁcation. Animals leave all kinds of other signs like game trails, rubs, runs, beds, and droppings for us to interpret.

Hannah will discuss stalking, wind awareness, and camouﬂage to maximize the odds of seeing the creature being tracked. She’ll also take a look at the unique late autumn behaviors of Darke County’s wildlife and the tracks that result from them. Preregistration is required for this event in order to ensure attendance; however, the program is free and open to the public. For any questions about this or any other park district programs or to register for the class, call 548-0165 or email Hannah Linebaugh at hlinebaugh@ darkecountyparks.org.

Tracking program set

You could win Main Street Greenville’s window by shopping downtown from Nov. 15 to Dec. 15.

Shop downtown and Win the Window GREENVILLE – Shoppers can earn chances to win over $3,000 in merchandise and gift certiﬁcates through “Win the Window”, the second annual shop local campaign presented by Main Street Greenville and sponsored by Second National Bank. “This promotion was created to encourage and remind people to shop local during the holiday season and to support our downtown businesses,” said Amber Garrett, executive director for Main Street Greenville. Between November 15 and Dec. 15, shoppers can enter to win by spending money at any of the participating downtown Greenville businesses, a full list is available on their website at www.mainstreetgreenville. org. Participating businesses have provided merchandise and gift certiﬁcates to place under the Christmas tree in Main Street Greenville’s window, located in the Darke County Welcome Center at 421 S. Broadway. Last year, Main Street Greenville tracked over $500,000 spent in the downtown district during the contest and they hope for another successful year. Shoppers will get a tick-

et entry for every $5 they spend at a participating downtown business, up to single purchases of $1,000. For example, if you spend $100 at a business, you will receive 20 tickets to enter into the contest to win the window of prizes. There is no limit to how many times you can shop to enter. The more you spend downtown at participating businesses, the more chances you have to win the window full of prizes! Participating businesses will have tickets available at the time of purchase and a glass jar to collect all of the tickets for the drawing. The drawing for the winner will take place on Dec. 18, 3:30 p.m., in the Main Street Greenville ofﬁce. You are not required to be present to win. Main Street Greenville is a non-proﬁt organization that supports downtown Greenville through stimulating and supporting revitalization efforts, historic preservation and economic growth. Learn more about the organization and the contest on their website, www.mainstreetgreenville. org, or follow them on Facebook. You can contact them at agarrett@mainstreetgreenville.org or 5484998.

Local businesses support school kids GREENVILLE – The Greenville Schools Foundation thanks all the businesses that supported their sponsorship program at the Greenville High School home football games this season. The donation amount is based on the number of touchdowns with a minimum contribution of $100 and maximum of $250 being donated by each sponsor. They also are grateful for the Green Wave team making the touchdowns,

announcers and the athletic department for helping. The sponsors for the games were Gordon Orthodontics, Greenville National Bank, Greenville Federal, Wayne HealthCare and Second National Bank. The ﬁve sponsors have helped with both football and basketball every years since the program began in 2005. Support from these businesses is helping Greenville Schools Foun-

dation, and in turn, helping Greenville City School children. Because of their support, the Foundation is able to offer grants for special activities and programs not available through the normal educational process within all grade levels of the Greenville City School District. Along with the Foundation’s appreciation, they ask that teachers, students and parents add their thanks to these school/community-supportive businesses.
