Thousands watch 11th annual parade These “We are the Majority” students are among 15 core group peer leaders. The books they’re holding are the Life Skills guides they use to teach younger students. Olivia, front right, proudly shows off their record of growing attendance. The rest of the students are (in no special order) Mason, Ripley, Kayli, Kate, Emily, Chloe, Alex and back right, adult advisor Kelly Harrison. Not pictured, Rose is the most recent member of the group.

“Majority” kids teach Life Skills to younger students GREENVILLE – “We are the majority of kids who are not BOB using drugs,” ROBINSON said Masen, Associate Editor bluebagmedia.com one of the Majority peer leaders. “A lot of times people think about the things kids do that go wrong… we want people to know kids make positive choices.” Majority Advisor, Kelly Harrison, said every year kids rally in Columbus to make a statement… “Not all kids make poor choices.” This group was started to echo that sentiment. It became formal in March. “It’s a peer led program,” she added. “We started with the intention of drug prevention,” Masen said. “Before long it evolved into community boosting… good kids willing to help out with community projects.” Their ﬁrst activity was speaking to the junior high… “I don’t drink because…” Among the ‘because’ responses was “because you could be doing something better with your time.” Kayli talked about having a booth for a First Friday downtown. “We had games for the kids; we provided information about the negative effects of drugs. She laughed. “Not sure how much the kids understood,

but they sure loved the games.” She noted they also helped with Lunch on the Lawn. Masen added they helped Gateway set up for the Greenville Library’s recent Fright Night. Nine of about 15 core group peer leaders were at the recent planning session, which an hour later was followed by a Study Session with young students. They included Olivia, Masen, Ripley, Kayli, Kate, Rose, Emily, Chloe and Alex. The students come from Greenville, Arcanum, Ansonia and Mississinawa Valley. Size of the group beyond the core? That was a hard question to answer. Masen said they include members of other groups, plus some of the young people at the library. “We work with each other… there’s SADD, IMTV, Gateway, ACES and the library. We have as many as 50 people involved in various projects.” Harrison said what they are doing today is working with younger students. “This is a peer led experience,” she said. “This group has volunteered to help them.” “We’re helping kids get work done. They have study sessions… eventually we hope they will become peer leaders, helpers,” Masen added. Kayli said “we’re teaching them

life skills… making smart decisions.” Harrison said everyone (in the core group) has a role. Emily is involved with life skills, Kayli planned this party, Olivia takes attendance, Tiana does the “all about me” page, Chloe is instrumental in planning the overall process. “It was really neat getting out into the community,” Chloe said about their First Friday experience. “I kind of learned how clubs are formed… how they help you get out of your shell.” “I’m not only teaching life lessons (to the younger students), I’m also learning stuff about myself,” Ripley said. “It’s awesome all these kids here helping others strive to do better in school.” Are the efforts with the younger kids successful? Olivia thinks so. “During the summer session I helped little kids… helping them to read. I noticed improvements in just a week’s time.” Minutes later the youngsters came in. They were ‘all grins’ when they found out they were going to be rewarded with a fun activity… Duck Duck Goose! Kids, peer leaders and adult advisor all participated. Snacks and a brief study session wrapped up the meeting.

GREENVILLE – Downtown Greenville was filled RYAN BERRY with smiling Managing Editor bluebagmedia.com faces as visitors lined South Broadway from Annie Oakley Park to the Traffic Circle. Thousands were waiting anxiously to see nearly 100 horses of all sizes from the miniature variety to the large draft horses. As soon as the Greenville High School Marching Band stepped onto the parade route and began playing the smiles suddenly became a little broader and heads began to turn with necks stretched as far as they could to catch a glimpse of what was coming. It wasn’t long until the first horse made its appearance and soon a carriage carrying the parade’s grand marshall, Jenny Clark, passed by. Although there were well over 70 entries in the parade, visitors were hoping for more as the parade ended.

Parade watchers were thrilled with all of the horses – big and little – as they passed by.

The Early Bird’s mascot, Scoop, entertained parade goers prior to the parade by handing out candy canes, shaking hands and posing for pictures.

Prior to the parade, downtown visitors enjoyed going into the shops and listening to

entertainment from one end of South Broadway to the other.

Greenville loses one of its icons GREENVILLE – Greenville lost one of its most beloved RYAN BERRY citizens this Managing Editor past week. Bill bluebagmedia.com Booker was an icon and legendary ﬁgure that was accomplished in many areas. Booker is survived by two sons, William and Phillip. Both meant the world to him. He was a proud father that would often brag about what they have been able to accomplish in life. He spent the better part of his life working in the news media, including a few years as the managing editor of The Early Bird. One of his prized possessions was a picture

of him talking with Lowell Thomas. After retiring, Booker continued to write and years later returned to The Early Bird to pen a weekly column and historical pieces. As a historian, Booker knew the ins and outs of Greenville. He could look at a storefront and could tell anyone willing to listen what businesses have been in that location since the 1950s. His tours of Greenville-Union Cemetery were all encompassing. For over an hour he would take visitors on a tour to tell stories and share the history of Greenville, including stories of the only man ever hanged in the county seat, leaders that helped build the community and

Congressmen that are interred in the cemetery. If you didn’t see Booker walking the streets of Greenville or spending time in the cemetery, one could always ﬁnd him at the Greenville High School. He was a tremendous supporter of the athletic department. He did everything from line the football ﬁeld to announce basketball games. He was an encyclopedia of Greenville’s athletic statistics. Steve Birt, one of Booker’s closest friends, said, “I have lost a good friend with the passing of Bill Booker. He was Greenville High School’s most avid supporter and has announced both the girls’ and boys’ basketball

games for many years. He also was very passionate about the Lady Wave Softball team, and published “The Bink” weekly to keep fans apprized about everything Lady Wave softball. I will never be able to attend a future Lady Wave softball game again without seeing Book leaning up against the left ﬁeld fence scrupulously keeping the game stats.” Because of his support, Booker was named to the Greenville High School Sports Hall of Fame. Birt noted, “This was an honor he truly deserved for his years of devotion to Green Wave sports.” In addition to the hall of fame, Booker was also honored as this

ordered to stop and drop the gun. He eventually stopped but wouldn’t drop the gun, despite being repeatedly told to do so. He tried putting it in his pocket first, then put it in his jacket pocket, keeping his hand in there as well. After being told repeatedly to pull out his hand and drop the gun, he eventually took the gun out and threw it in the yard. He was patted down, and said he found the gun in an alley. The officer reported he was intoxicated. His eyes were bloodshot and glassy, speech slurred. He was also unsteady. Owens had six packs of cigarettes on him, two iPods and pockets full of loose change, consistent with thefts from vehicles. The firearm had eight rounds in the magazine and one chambered; there had been a report earlier in the evening of a shot being fired in the 200 block of Wayne Avenue. There was also an earlier report of a handgun owned by Frank Ditty, 430 Washington Ave., being stolen from his vehicle. It was later determined the handgun Owens had belonged to Ditty. Owens changed his story to say he didn’t have a handgun. A check of area vehicles found that several had been rummaged through.

Owens was taken to the police station for having a loaded firearm while intoxicated and CCW (Concealed Weapons Permit). Owens became uncooperative and refused to stay seated, so the officer decided to take him to the Darke County jail. The officer tried to make him stand and face the wall; Owens would repeatedly turn back to face him. Owens continued to struggle and was eventually put down on the floor long enough for the officer to retrieve his firearm and take him to jail. Owens was found to have felony theft and felony resisting charges through Nebraska but had pleaded them down to misdemeanors. He is being held without bond. A report will be sent to the Darke County Prosecutor’s Office. SEX OFFENSE On November 17 police responded to a call on a suspect being found in bed with a 12-yearold girl. The suspect was found and detained by another officer. The complainant said the suspect had been in the residence all day and was supposed to be picked up later in the evening. The ride did not happen. The complainant said the victim and her sisters had gone to bed and she went to bed, assuming the suspect would sleep on the couch. She woke up during the night to go to the bathroom. Something made her check on the girls… she found the suspect naked in the girls’ room. She screamed and he ran off. The suspect was then taken to the police station for questioning. Nothing more at this time. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE On November 17 Nicholas Younker got into an argument with another individual at work. They were told by one of the managers to let it go as it was creating a problem. The victim went to the

Marathon gas station on Martin Street; Younker followed him and started the argument again. Younker then reportedly punched the victim in the right side of his face near the eye. The area was red and swollen. Younker admitted striking the victim but said he only knocked the glasses off. A witness reported seeing Younker punch the victim in the face. Younker was arrested and transported to the Darke County jail. He had no prior domestic violence conviction. JUVENILE On November 13 police received a call a tall white male was ringing the caller’s doorbell repeatedly. He stopped ringing the bell prior to the arrival of the police. Police found him, a juvenile, sitting down. He was intoxicated and said he had been punched but refused to say by whom. His eyes were bloodshot and glassy, speech slurred. He was unable to say where he was or what his home address was. There were three landscape lights knocked over in the yard where police found him. He was issued a citation for Underage Consumption and Curfew and re-

leased to his mother. DISORDERLY On November 16 police were dispatched to 130 E. Water regarding loud noise and subjects yelling obscenities. Individuals in a residence were talking loudly and yelling. Resident Terry Thorn said he was having a party. He’d been contacted earlier about the noise and told police when he tried to get people to leave they “became upset and started to get louder.” Thorn had been warned once on Oct. 19, had been warned earlier in the morning this day. He was cited this time for Disorderly Conduct. EARLY BIRD POLICY The Greenville Police Beat is prepared from public records available at the Greenville Police Department.

Arcanum man charged with overdose death of wife BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE - An Arcanum man faces serious felony charges after authorities held him responsible in the January drug overdose death of his wife. Raymond R. Emerson, 45, appeared in the court Nov. 25 by video connection from the Darke County Jail. A Grand Jury indicted Emerson recently on one count of Involuntary Manslaughter, a felony of the ﬁrst degree, and Corrupting Another with Drugs, a

Raymond R. Emerson

second degree felony. The state filed the charges on Emerson after a 10 month investigation into the death of his wife. According to court documents, Emerson’s wife took a fatal amount of the severe pain medication Fentanyl on January 18 at their home in Arcanum. He told the judge during Tuesday’s arraignment that he has a health condition that requires a strong pain narcotic. Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein granted Emerson an own recognizance (OR) bond in the case due to the cost of medical treatment the jail would have to incur and that Emerson has not shown to be a flight risk. “Don’t make me regret my decision,” Judge Hein said to Emerson. “Just show up for court.” Emerson is scheduled for a pre-trial Dec. 23 at 1 p.m. He told the court he plans to retain local attorney James Detling for his defense. He faces a maximum of 19 years in prison and fines of up to $35,000 if convicted as charged.

Arcanum ofďŹ cially welcomes new business additions

BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER www.bluebagmedia.com ARCANUM - The Arcanum Business Association (ABA) recently recognized two of the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest businesses. The ABA held a ribbon cutting ceremony on Nov. 21 at the Belle Fiole Tanning & Spa and Old Arcana businesses on George Street in Arcanum. Belle Fiole Tanning originally opened in November 2006, but added the spa just weeks ago. Owners Jenni and Jason Blackburn say they chose Arcanum because they love the small-town feel, plus Jenni grew up there. With the success of the tanning, the Blackburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say they added the Belle Fiole Spa to their salon to offer their clients an array of services to help them look and feel good. The salon offers massages, three levels of tanning, pedicures, hair care and Jenniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delicious treats from her private business Creme de la Creme Cakery she

often sells in at business. On May 1, The Old Arcana Eating House & Events opened for business in another of Arcanumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic buildings on George Street. The Old Arcana is the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst taste of a coffee shop-style restaurant, which provides its customers a relaxing sitdown atmosphere with a unique, from scratch menu and frequent live entertainment. Their website states, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Old Arcana combines the magic of great food and soul inspiring music in a charming, historic environment.â&#x20AC;? According to the owners, Leslie HandshoeSuter and Jeff Besecker, they looked at Greenville to initially open a business and were met with multiple challenges that kept them from â&#x20AC;&#x153;pulling the triggerâ&#x20AC;?. With the support from Tim and Angie Shellabarger, who own the building that dates back to the late 1800â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and from the community, choosing the Arcanum location

has been an incredible investment and is crucial to the attraction, success and retention of small businesses today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to have both of these ďŹ ne businesses in our community. It allows Arcanum to offer that much more to the area,â&#x20AC;? Arcanum Business Association Vice President Kurt Troutwine told The Early Bird. The Old Arcana is located at 109 W. George St., Arcanum and is open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday thru Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. You can learn more about the business at oldarcana.com. Belle Fiole Tanning & Spa is located at 24 W. George St., Arcanum. To setup an appointment, contact them at 6928800. Visit them online for more information at belleďŹ oletanning.com. Both locations offer private function reservations and are actively engaged with social media networks, posting updates daily about their specials and much more.

Baughman, of Ansonia, was heading north and attempting a left turn onto Horatio Harris Creek Road, turning into the path of a southbound 1998 GMC Suburban, driven by James Hines, of Greenville. Hines drove across the centerline to avoid contact, striking a northbound 2008 Peterbilt, driven by Daniel Leonard Jr, of Celina.

PCDL waives ﬁnes for food donations

Patrons owing ﬁnes can bring in non-perishable food items, personal care items, or cleaning supplies (no personal or single serve size, please) to any PCDL Branch, and

their fines will be waived based on the amount of donation made. Items donated will be worth $1 in fines waived. The more donated, the more fines will be removed. Items less than three months from the expiration date will not be accepted.

ON YOUR MIND

Commissioner’s Corner November is becoming a memory, Thanksgiving has come and gone, and old man winter is approaching. Halloween starts the official Holiday season, but to most of us, Thanksgiving is the time it really starts. We hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving, and we hope the family and friends you shared it with also have a Merry Christmas, which is just around the corner! November is usually busy in the Commissioner’s office. We are starting to wrap up projects from this year, and planning for next year has begun. This year, we got quite a bit accomplished as to fixing and repairing buildings and equipment that was in desperate need. The Wagner Avenue Government Center, the old Visitation House, and of course all the work at the Sheriff’s office, was work that needed to be done in order to make the buildings useful for a long time. The Courthouse and other buildings also received some attention this year, so hopefully next year we do not have to do as much major repair and things replace as this year. As of now, we are finalizing the purchase of the remaining property around the Darke County Airport, and hope to have it wrapped up very shortly. This was another major accomplishment, and could not have happened without the kindness and co-operation of the Spiller family. Thank you to them for their understanding and commitment to Darke County all these past years. November also starts the Appropriation part of the calendar year. Most offices are working on their projected budgets for next year, and in early December, we will meet with them to discuss their needs for 2015. We are always

proud to say that our Department heads and elected officials do a tremendous job of holding the line on their budget requests. Most of the offices do as much as they possibly can, and only ask for more when something gets mandated from higher up, or some new equipment is needed. When you see our Elected Officials and Department Heads, please thank them for a job well done with little appreciation. Darke County continues to shine in the Economic Arena, our unemployment rate continues to drop, our efforts in workforce development are succeeding and growing, and all of the new expansion that is taking place seems to be on schedule. JAFE glass is nearing completion, and will have a grand opening ceremony sometime in December. Congratulations to Randy O’Dell and the group at JAFE for your continued growth and commitment to Darke County. The High School renovation, the new school location, Whirlpool, Koenig’s Equipment, and Reid Hospital are also proceeding, along with the new Good Samaritan Health Center facility on Sweitzer Street, all soon becoming realities. Thanks to all of our great companies and partners for their continued support and belief that this is the place to grow. Christmas is just around the corner, and following that comes the New Year. Won’t you try and make one of our open meetings this year? We meet every Monday and Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. in the Commissioner’s office, located at 520 South Broadway in Greenville, just south of the Courthouse. Hope to see you there! The Darke County Commissioners

Great Open House

I am writing this letter to say how much my husband I enjoyed the Kroger open house. There was a lot of good food and a lot of really nice prizes being given away. I know it took a lot of preparation to have such a good presentation. We salute each and every one who worked

so hard. We’ve shopped at Krogers for over 50 years. We like the stores and the Greenville Krogers has the nicest staff around. We consider them good friends and love to shop there. Thank you all. Yeah Greenville Krogers. Good Job. Richard and Joyce Burch, Greenville

The new life surrounding us Grumpy Side of 60

by Bob Robinson Associate Editor bluebagmedia.com

After weeks of being out of town Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I managed to put in a day of subbing at Woodland Heights last Friday. The kids welcomed me with open arms… literally. I took part of my lunch break helping children open packets for their sandwiches, opening fruit cups, getting extra straws, resolving disputes… the usual drill. “Mr. Robinson!! I know you!!” Most know the rules; I had to go to them for their hugs and highﬁves. As sometimes happens, a few forgot and ran over to me. As usual I was asked how old I am (70), what’s in your ears (my new ears), I saw you in the newspaper (yep!), were you in Mrs. (name)’s class (yep!), do you remember me (yep!), what is my name (sorry sweety, I don’t do good with names but I remem-

T h e president’s ObamaCare hype machine recently made JOHN BOEHNER its rounds U.S. REPRESENTATIVE SPEAKER throughout OF THE HOUSE Ohio and across the country – making a stop in Cincinnati to pitch ObamaCare to our local area. As I’ve said many times, the Obama administration can try all it wants to “sell” his disastrous health care law to the American people – but Ohioans aren’t being fooled. That’s because local businesses, families, and seniors – all of the people who make our area so great – have experienced the broken promises ﬁrsthand and recognize that ObamaCare is driving up their health care costs, hurting our economy, and making it harder for small businesses to hire. Whether its premium hikes or higher deductibles, you can’t hide the sticker shock from the people who are personally experiencing it, and

was social marijuana should not be legalized. We already have legal ways to destroy the family (alcohol, for instance). Why would we want to add another? I’ve often told the class it was their turn to make the decisions that will impact their future. They are the ones who will have to live with them; I won’t. So the student was rightfully curious about why I would care. “Because of my kids… and my grandkids. I care about you and your kids. You are the next generation. You’ll be setting the standards for future generations,” I said. I believe she understood; not sure she changed her mind. Each class makes a list of topics in which they are interested… typically social or legal opinions: gay marriage, capital punishment, school uniforms, and yes, legalizing marijuana and more. You get the picture. These are their lists. Not mine. Then the classes are polled so they can see the breakout of opinions. Whether they realize it or not, they’re getting a lesson in di-

versity, one of Edison’s Core Values. Students are asked to be forthright in their views and are assured those views will be respected. It is from this list students choose some of their speaking topics. My “sample” speeches, where possible, are also from their list. Often it’s easy to adapt some of my “little ones” stories to their lists, so my comment about the next generations was not new territory for them. This was a week to be thankful. For some it was easy; for others not so much. Severe challenges sometimes hamper the joys of the season. Our family suffered a loss that will be painful for years to come. Cancer is a brutal, hideous disease and my younger sister, Melinda, lost her battle November 21 after ﬁghting it for nearly two years. My thanks is that her suffering is over. I’m grateful for a loving family and good friends; and I have the privilege of working with terriﬁc young people… of being part of the new life surrounding us.

ber you) and, oh yes, an historic ﬁrst: “Mr. Robinson, are you going to have a baby?” I remember him from kindergarten two years ago. Obviously I’ve put on a few pounds (you know where) since then. “No buddy, I’m not going to have a baby.” He grinned. He knew guys don’t have babies. I grinned back and gave him a high-ﬁve. What else could I do? In a recent visit to South School, I was warmed by the young ones, no longer little and seated in their classrooms; they saw me, whispered Mr. Robinson and waved. I recognized a few from East, and even Woodland. Good grief, I’m old. “I’m not trying to be mean or discourteous, but why do you care?” That was a reasonable question from one of my Edison Communications/Public Speaking students the previous day. She wanted to know why I was opposed to legalizing social marijuana… why did I care? It was my sample opinion speech and my opinion

with many in our local area now receiving information about their 2015 ObamaCare premiums and health care costs, there’s no shortage of local ObamaCare horror stories. Scott from Fairﬁeld, owns Scott’s Awards, Inc., in West Chester and just received his new premium rate that goes into effect Dec. 1, 2014 – he’s facing an increase of 29 percent. In an e-mail to me, Scott said, “Since 2009 when President Obama took ofﬁce, my health insurance premiums have increase by 126 percent … Although I am only one, I am sure I speak for all.” Echoing Scott’s story, Evan from Covington, recently wrote to me and shared that his health care costs are increasing by 30 percent. Remember, it was a report released in August by the Ohio Department of Insurance (ODI) that forewarned of this

unfortunate reality. In that August report, ODI predicted Ohio’s average premiums to increase by 12 percent for individuals and 12 percent for small businesses in 2015, according to approved rates submitted by Ohio health insurance companies. And all of this comes on the heels of recent comments made by one of the law’s chief architects, Jonathan Gruber, on the deceptive tactics used to ram ObamaCare through the House and Senate. Learning of this news, perhaps the Columbus Dispatch’s editorial board said it best – describing the law as, simply, “A law built on dishonesty.” The Dispatch went on to point out that, “Opposition to the law has remained remarkably consistent for ﬁve years, ever since it ﬁrst was introduced in Congress in 2009. Except for a few brief moments, survey after survey has found more

Americans opposed to the law than support it. The dishonesty with which it was foisted on the nation is a primary reason for that abiding disapproval.” Bearing the consequences of the president’s health care law, I’m not surprised to see the American people express such strong, consistent opposition. And I’ve made clear that the new, American Congress will honor the American people by focusing, ﬁrst, on jobs and the economy – including renewing our commitment to repeal ObamaCare. If you’re a resident of Ohio’s 8th Congressional District and have recently received information about your 2015 ObamaCare premiums and health care costs, I want to hear from you. Please share your ObamaCare stories with me by visiting boehner.house.gov/contact or calling 513-779-5400.

The Tri-Village special needs class poses with the Christmas Tree that is now in their classroom.

Tree given to TV special needs class HOLLANSBURG – Despite the blustery weather, the Tri-Village Special Needs class came to the Frosty Outpost Christmas Tree Farm near Hollansburg on Nov 24, and picked out a very nice six-foot ﬁr tree. After they cut it down, the tree was “shaken” with a special shaker machine to remove old needles, drilled for their

spiked tree stand, then netted for easier loading onto the bus. Afterwards, they enjoyed complimentary hot chocolate and homemade cookies inside before returning back to school to setup and decorate their tree. Owners Allen and Carmen Howell wish the class and staff a very Merry Christmas.

is recognized as the area’s authority on grief support. Jackie McEldowney, a licensed social worker at Versailles Health Care Center, said the series was the first such collaborative venture by the care center. “We were thinking about the holidays and how people often deal with grief at that time of the year,” she said. “From that thought, we realized we could help people at various times throughout the year.” Hospice officials explained that holidays are often difficult for those who have lost a loved one. Registration to attend is required. A person need not have any association with hospice care or the care facility in order to attend. Call Jackie at 526-5570 to register.

BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE Three seasons after being asked to step down by members of the school board, Rachel Kerns is back on the court as the Greenville Lady Wave varsity basketball coach. Since the school board decision to terminate Kerns as the coach in 2011, the program has seen a steady decline... ending with a winless 0-23 season last year and last place in the Greater Western Ohio Conference (GWOC). Though having Kerns back as coach may be a step in the right direction, there is much rebuilding to been done. With just three seniors and no returning starters, Kerns told The Early Bird that this season will be about working on basic fundamentals of the game and to at least be competitive. “It would be unrealistic to say we will have a bunch of wins this season,” Kerns said. “We will use this year to work hard on turning some things around and hopefully start winning some games next year.” Thirty girls in all are

part of the Greenville girls basketball program, 14 of which dress to play at the varsity level. “Every single one of these girls work hard everyday,” Kerns added. “I look forward to watching each one of them grow as a player and as a team.” Kerns was a former player herself as a Lady Wave, graduating from Greenville High School in 2005.

Buckeye fans can brag about win GREENVILLE – The chocolate Buckeyes are so much sweeter, Tot’s famous cheese ball is even cheesier, and every scarlet-and-grey smile beams brighter when the Darke County Ohio State University Alumni Club Blood Drive comes right after a Buckeye football triumph like Saturday night’s upset of Michigan State. Ohio State’s thrashing of the Spartans in East Lansing on national TV was something for fans to brag about on Nov. 11 at the Alumni Club’s Community Blood Center (CBC) blood drive at the Greenville Church of the Brethren. It was a victory that brought out all sorts of emotions. “The ﬁrst part of the game didn’t seem promising,” said Alumni Club volunteer Dennis Baker, an OSU class of ’71 graduate who worked 31 years in Ohio State’s Darke County Extension Ofﬁce. His dorm was part of Ohio Stadium before the “Shoe” was renovated. He watched the game nervously with friends. “But we stopped making mistakes and outplayed them the rest of the game.” Ansonia donor Todd Thwaits was also nervous. “It was tough,” he said. “It was a kind of scary beginning but they turned it around.”

“I’m not a grad,” said Nelson Rismiller, a regular at Church of the Brethren blood drives who made his 184th lifetime donation Tuesday. “But I was hoping to be available to donate for this because it’s a great party atmosphere.” It’s a tradition for CBC Darke County Account Representative Dana Puterbaugh and the Alumni Club volunteers to stage a “tailgate party” in the Donor Café. Tuesday’s menu included hot dogs cooked up by blood drive co-coordinator Shirla Neff, chocolateand-peanut butter Buckeyes made by co-coordinator Jan Boyer, and the traditional cheese ball by long-time volunteer Tot Heinrich. The Alumni Club’s Kay Girbert, also a blood drive co-coordinator, served refreshments in the café and talked about her late husband Paul, an OSU class of ’57 grad and a long-time blood donor. “We’ve had season tickets for 40 years,” she said. “I still go with my children and grandchildren and friends. My granddaughter is a senior at Michigan State. She was on (ESPN) College Game Day Saturday morning and was at the game. I haven’t heard from her all week!” Urbana University graduate Chelsea Hal-

derman volunteered with campus blood drives and now works for the retirement community where she has gotten to know blood donor Ivan Patterson. Chelsea made her 20th lifetime donation and was impressed to learn Ivan had just made his 434th lifetime donation. “Wow!” she said. “That’s amazing!” As for the Buckeyes, she wasn’t worried. “I went to bed before it was over, but it was a good lead and I felt good about it!” Newlyweds Kyle and Jessica Trimpi were married July 10 and donated together Tuesday. Kyle made a double red blood cell donation to reach 24 lifetime donations while Jessica made her second lifetime donation. Kyle said he may not be an OSU alum, but he is a loyal Buckeye fan. “Heck yea!” he said. “I’m a big Buckeye fan. I ﬁgured Ohio State could pull it out. I know Michigan State isn’t happy – sorry Michigan State! I’ve got to go with the Buckeyes!” “Going with the Buckeye’s helped make Tuesday’s Darke County OSU Alumni Club blood drive a success with 132 registrations, eight apheresis donations, and 125 whole blood donations.

Brethren Retirement Community offers innovative new therapy for people living with Parkinson’s Disease Recently the Physical Therapy Department from Brethren Retirement Community attended an LSVT BIG® certification in Troy, OH. This was a two day course in which four members of the physical therapy department became certified. LSVT BIG® is an up and coming treatment approach for those with Parkinson’s disease. People with Parkinson’s Disease have trouble moving normally. Often, their movements are slower and smaller and they may freeze or shuffle when they walk. People who have Parkinson’s disease often are unaware of how small their movements actually are. The LSVT BIG® program has the goal of making “BIG”

moments occur naturally in everyday movements in patients with Parkinson’s disease. Additionally, some may experience problems with their balance. For most people living with Parkinson’s disease, their movement problems can be overcome temporarily when they are prompted (either by themselves or another person) to move better such as “take a big step” or “stand up straight”. The LSVT BIG® program is a research-based exercise approach that has an emphasis on “BIG” movements. It is based on the principle that the brain can learn and change. Patients attend 1 hour treatment sessions four times per week for four weeks.

Brethren Retirement Marimba performance Community decorates Recently, we had a instrument looks like a Marimba performance very large xylophone. for Christmas This particular main the Brick Room by Rhonda Miley. Rhonda has been playing the marimba since she was 12 years old and attended a two room school house. She said the decision to play the marimba came about because it ...was cheaper than a harp and it was what her parents could afford. Rhonda explained how the marimba works and what marimba means “voice of wood”. It is a percussion instrument consisting of a set of wooden bars struck with mallets to produce musical tones. Resonators attached to the bars amplify their sound. The bars are arranged as those of a piano. This

I love that everything I need is here, under one roof, it’s like a city! -Florence Brown

“I came here for several reasons. I no longer drive and I lived by myself in the country. I kept seeing your ads about all the wonderful things Brethren Retirement Community offers and decided to take advantage of the “Buy 3 Months and get the 4th Month Free Offer” and I am ever glad I did! I love it here! I am taking Occupational and Physical Therapy to build up my strength so I’m not a fall risk. I participate in the Activities you offer and the BINGO in the Brick Room and it’s just 150 steps to the cafeteria, I count those steps as part of my daily exercise routine. The food is fabulous, especially the kielbasa, sauerkraut and little potato pancakes. Everything I’ve had here has been delicious and there are so many choices! I love that everything I need is here, under one roof, it’s like a city! You have a bank, beauty shop, gift shops, exercise, therapy - and you even have a massage therapist and she’s terrific! The people are so kind and helpful, always willing to help with whatever I need. I have my laundry done, housekeeping services and my meals cooked, I’m really feeling quite spoiled! I love everything about being here at Brethren Retirement Community and I’m so glad I came!” -Florence Brown

Student thanks range from family to football

The students, left to right, are Abby Didier, Ashley Cochran, Faith Mangen, Tory Brehm, Kristen Stryker and Ross Burnett. (Bob Robinson photo)

Edison students descend on Greenville South and JHS GREENVILLE – “So how does the dead lady feel?” The BOB ‘dead lady,’ ROBINSON Ann BradAssociate Editor bluebagmedia.com ﬁeld, said “I feel rejuvenated.” As part of their drug presentation to South School, this team of Edison Community College communications/public speaking students presented a skit depicting what can happen when a student, behind in her homework, takes too much of a drug (to help her study) and dies. The skit included a local ‘police ofﬁcer,’ portrayed by Bryce Jenkinson, arresting the pusher who sold the drug, portrayed by Aaron Balsbaugh. Ally Russell, Alex Bietry and Danielle Faber, remaining members of the team, all had support roles in the portrayal. “I thought the skit was pretty well received,” said Bryce. The students were attentive and it set up the rest of their presentation. Aaron had accidently banged his head on an overhead projector as they were getting started. “I did that

on purpose,” he joked. “They all kind of woke up a little.” Overall, four teams totaling 24 students descended on Greenville South and Junior High Schools as part of their Fundamentals of Communication course credits. Three teams went to South, one to the junior high. They were required to use the basic public speaking tools they’d been given throughout the term, which included animation, strong projection, familiarity with the topic and more. It was an exercise in diversity; their presentations had to be age appropriate for their audiences. Each team was allowed to develop its own plan. They mostly included a skit or a demonstration, using graphics such as charts and photos, descriptions of drugs and their harmful effects, personal stories and drawing their ‘audience’ into questions and discussions. The team going to the junior high consisted of Kristen Stryker, Tory Brehm, Ross Burnett, Faith Mangen, Abby Didier and Ashley Cochran.

As part of their presentation they had students ‘exercise’ briefly then told them to catch their breath by breathing through straws. “Does that make breathing a little harder?” the Edison students asked? “Yeah!” was the unanimous response. “This is what happens when you smoke cigarettes,” the students told them. The students in the two other teams making presentations at South were Stacey Strobel, Alexa Tucker, Kaleb Earick, Audrey Aslinger, Morgan Buyers, Hannah Greene, Shelby Hyre, Britt Bowlin, Jacob Metzcar, Cameron Kunkle, Ecko Brown and Zoe Stiefel. Teachers gave positive reports on the teams’ efforts. They also provided tips that might help future presentations. This is the second year Edison students have gone to South School to make presentations; it is the first year for the junior high school. The previous week a fifth group had gone to the junior high to make a presentation on bullying.

GREENVILLE – When Edison Darke County Campus BOB Dean Janice ROBINSON Michael was Associate Editor bluebagmedia.com on a mission trip to South Africa, the parents of some of her Bible Study students asked her to dinner. “I knew this would be a hardship on them,” she said, “but I couldn’t decline their invitation.” She described their home as a cardboard box with a packed dirt ﬂoor… “Their wallpaper was newspaper and advertising circulars. It sealed the cracks in the walls and added color to the room.” She added their dinner consisted of rice and beans. “The students would bring their lunch boxes to school,” she said. They often wondered what students had to eat. Once they checked. “They were baked mud cakes. It was better to have something in their stomachs – even if it was mud – than nothing at all.” She continued the story about a family with three kids. “Only one of them would show up on any given day… then the next day a different child would be there. We ﬁnally realized the children were wearing the same clothes… they only had that one set of clothes so they had to take turns.” During Thanksgiving week students realized how fortunate they were for their families and friends; few had thought of the trials of young people in other countries until Michael told them of her experiences. It was sobering for some of them.

“You have the ability to come here to school at no charge,” Michael told two Communications/ Public Speaking classes. “You have what they can only dream of.” Her message was “be thankful.” They were. While the vast majority of students who voiced opinions – Edison students and South sixth graders – expressed their thanks for family and friends, some thought a little more deeply. “The person who created Thanksgiving,” said a sixth grader. This prompted a discussion about the Pilgrims… freedom of religion and speech, not being ruled by a king. Many were thankful for the time they got to spend with other members of their family. Edison students had family coming to Darke County from as far away as Arizona and Colorado, although none indicated they would be celebrating Thanksgiving out of town. Two students were thankful for where they lived. “I’m thankful I get to pursue my dreams, and live in Darke County. This is a good place to

grow up,” said one. Another said there was no place as good as Darke County. “You learn about the best things in life here,” he said. Another student had special thanks for her mom; another for her dad. Many were thankful for their freedom to believe. A teacher noted she was thankful for Heaven. A student was thankful she was able to participate in Operation Christmas Child. A student was thankful for God… “The freedom to pursue my religion,” she said. A South student said he was thankful for the Edison students who came to his class that day to tell them about the dangers of drugs. An Edison student noted his thanks to Janice Michael. “She was there for me whenever I needed help of any kind,” he said. There was “happy” thanks in addition to “thoughtful” thanks. One student was thankful for Black Friday. “Woo hoo!” she said, noting she was heading to Walmart at 6 p.m. on Thursday. Sixth graders? They added watching football, sports, hunting and video games to their “thankful” list.

Youth for Christ kids gathered on stage to conclude the banquet. (Clinton Randall photo)

GREENVILLE - Hundreds of people attended the two-day CLINTON report and RANDALL fundraising Staff Writer bluebagmedia.com banquet for the Youth for Christ of the Miami Valley. The annual event was held at the Lighthouse Christian Center on U.S. 127, just south of Greenville Nov. 17 and 18. The purpose of the banquet is to give a report to the community about how the program is changing lives of local youth and to offer ways for people to help. In addition to the

meal, some of the kids took the stage to perform or give testimonies about how Youth for Christ (YFC) has made a change in their life. According to a report provided by the program, YFC estimates expense budget for the 2014-15 year is $311,700, which includes staff wages, programs, building expenses and support. The report also shows that over $154,000 is expected to come in from general contributions for the year. Other funding comes in through projects and program contributions. The banquet nights

Greenville Federal supports YFC GREENVILLE – “Come to the Party!” This invitation went out to all local adults as Youth for Christ of the Miami Valley invited the community to come celebrate the lives of area teenagers that are being changed as a result of hundreds of people’s partnership and God’s work through Youth for Christ. YFC’s annual “Report to the People and Fundraising Banquet” was the platform for this celebration, which took place on November 17th and 18th at the All Season’s Place, located at the Lighthouse Christian Center. Hundreds of people responded by committing to pray, volunteer, and support the work of YFC ﬁnancially. In fact, more than 700 guests pledged approximately 70,000 to impact teenagers’ lives. However none of this would have been possible without the many individuals and businesses that underwrote all the banquet expenses so that every dollar raised will go directly to YFC’s work with teenagers. Greenville Federal just helped make the underwriting goal complete by contributing $500 to help offset the expenses for YFC’s two nights of programs. “Investing back to local communities has long been a trademark in the history of Greenville Federal, the oldest bank headquartered in Darke County,” said Susan Barker, CFO and SVP of Greenville Federal. “We are proud to be part of such programs that reach out to young people with direction and hope.” Guests at the Youth for Christ banquet

feasted on a wonderful meal prepared by Catering by Michael and then the celebrating began in earnest. A wide variety of party favors had been provided on each table and guests were encouraged to use them every time they heard something they considered worth celebrating. Within minutes after the first words were spoken from the stage, the room was filled with confetti, bubbles, and the sounds of horns and noisemakers. These festive eruptions took place as teenagers shared about their journeys of coming out of painful circumstance and despair into positive direction and hope through knowing and following Christ. Many guests were touched deeply by the stories shared. In addition to these testimonies, the program was seasoned with drama, music, and video, which highlighted the importance of what is being accomplished through more than 60 adult leaders who come alongside teenagers each day, bringing God’s love and “Good News” to kids in very tangible ways. These adults are sent out by more than 800 supporters who make their efforts possible through financial partnership and prayer. Though many students were heard from during the banquet, adults involved also had some important words to share. Courtney Layman, who volunteers with the ministry, shared about meaningful experiences with kids and how her own life has been touched as well. Through video, a parent of one of the kids

Pictured above are Susan Barker, CFO and SVP of Greenville Federal; Neal Crawford, executive director of Youth for Christ; and Betty Hartzell, bank officer and AVP of Greenville Federal.

involved in YFC programs shared why she believes her son’s life has actually been saved because of the outreach of Youth for Christ. Gary Oser, a local pastor shared how his own life was touched through Youth for Christ in a different community as a youth, and then how his children’s lives were impacted by this ministry as well. These connections have fueled his involvement as a volunteer and supporter for more than 30. And ﬁnally, Mark Suter, one of the Youth for Christ board members, shared why he cares deeply about YFC’s mission to introduce teenagers to Jesus. As the evening neared its end, Mark gave the other guests the opportunity to become involved making a difference for kids as well. The personal sharing at the banquet was meaningful to many people, but perhaps the highlight of the evening happened near the end when a choir of more than 25 teens reminded guests about our greatest reason to celebrate through a moving rendition of the hymn, “How Great Thou Art.” The aim of Youth for

Christ is to work alongside area churches to invite every local young person to become a lifelong follower of Jesus Christ. Particularly in today’s world, it is important for the message of Christ to be modeled rather than just communicated. That’s why Youth for Christ staff members and volunteers make it a point to befriend teenagers in the places they live every day. YFC representatives serve local teens within their schools and support them by attending their sporting events and other extracurricular activities. This past school year, individual teenagers interacted with adults mobilized by YFC 6,297 times through activities and appointments in order to introduce them to the amazing life God has in store as they follow Him. This year, Youth for Christ is on track to interact with more than 1,000 young people in pursuit of this goal. The YFC banquet was just one way for people to learn how to become involved. Perhaps you missed “the party” that took place at this year’s Youth for Christ Report to the People and Fundraising Banquet. If so, it may be too late to experience that program, but it’s not too late to make a difference in the lives of area teens. To learn more about these opportunities visit yfcmv. org, call 548-2477, or email ofﬁce@yfcmv.org.

Reid Q&A on Greenville project GREENVILLE – The Reid Hospital & Health Care Services ongoing project in Greenville to build a Medical Office Building to house specialists is moving well on schedule. As a way to keep community members informed, they have developed a list of question and answers about the project: What is Reid building in Greenville? They are building a $10 million, 34,000 square foot medical office building to house Reid physicians who provide specialty care to the region. Where is it? The Greenville Medical Office Building is at Meeker/Jackson and Katzenberger roads next to Family Health. Why is Reid putting a facility in Greenville? This new building will house in most cases specialty practices for doctors who have already been caring for Greenville area residents in other locations for many years, including Bethel Cardiology and Reid Orthopedics. They want to provide better facilities for their patients in the area and continue to offer specialty care that complements what is already offered by other providers, such as Wayne HealthCare. Won’t your services compete with the local hospital and physician practices? No. Their goal is to provide services that Wayne does not provide so that residents can continue to use their great local hospital and get care from Reid that is not offered there. They offer specialists to whom Greenville doctors already refer their patients for care.

When will the building be completed? Construction is on target for completion by the end of March 2015. Are you using local contractors in the project? About 91 percent of the construction is being done by local and regional companies as a way to make sure the project helps the county and regional economy. Will your facility offer emergency care? No. Their Medical Ofﬁce Building will provide a central place for specialty care including orthopedics, heart and vascular, neurology, rheumatology, urology, ENT and psychiatric services. Will it include beds to provide overnight care? No. It is a specialty practice facility, not a hospital or emergency care facility. Is Wayne HealthCare and Family Health part of the project? While the project is funded solely by Reid, they consider them partners in providing health care to the community. They are in regular communication about what they are doing and what community needs are. Their goal is to be long-term partners in providing care to the people these great providers also serve. They look forward to providing specialty care to compliment the services they are not currently providing in Darke County. Will there be a pharmacy in the new building? No. These services are already available in the community. Will the facility offer services such as MRI, CT scans or ultrasound? No. These services are also already readily available in the county.

GREENVILLE – Garst Museum’s annual Holiday Open House will be held on Dec. 7, 1-4 p.m. The public is invited to attend. Everyone can tour the museum and the National Annie Oakley Center at no charge on this one afternoon. Highlights of the afternoon include seasonal music, light refreshments and beautiful decorations. Also artifacts from the museum’s Christmas collection will be used for decorating. Plan to do a little Christmas shopping in the Museum Store, as there will be a 20 percent discount on all non-consignment items. The museum features a number of beautifullydecorated Christmas trees illustrating the theme “The Bounty of Darke County.” Trees were decorated by the following groups: The Wildﬂower Garden Club, the Junior Butterﬂies Garden Club, the Sun and

Fun Garden Club, the Ladybug Garden Club, the Wood Sprite Garden Club, the Garden Girls Garden Club, the VFW Women’s Auxiliary and the Ft. Greeneville Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Plan to stop by and enjoy the fun, shop, and also take advantage of the free admission to tour the museum. The Darke County Historical Society (the Garst Museum) has as its mission to collect, preserve, exhibit, study, and interpret materials relating to the history and culture of Darke County, Ohio as part of the development of the crossroads of the American experience. Permanent exhibitions of national signiﬁcance include the National Annie Oakley Center, the Treaty of Greenville, Lowell Thomas, and Ohio Native Americans.

Advantages of original Medicare clariﬁed by Reid RICHMOND, Ind. – The Medicare open enrollment process, which continues through Dec. 7, can be confusing and

overwhelming, according to an insurance expert who works with health care providers and consumers to try to clarify

Where there is help, there is hope GREENVILLE – The Cancer Association of Darke County (CADC) has been serving the community since 1995. They specialize in providing education and support to those afflicted with cancer and their friends and families. Their friendly and professional staff is there to answer any questions. Whether you need information, help with transportation, or help with medical services, the CADC is there to help. Any Darke County resident with a diagnosis of cancer can receive the services of the CADC beginning immediately upon first contact. Beyond answering questions, the CADC also offers forms of assistance (after insurance and other benefits). These include: * Transportation: volunteer drivers or financial assistance * Medications: assistance in purchasing cancer related prescription drugs * Wigs, hairpieces and scarves * Nutritional supplements: provided with a doctor’s prescription * Quarterly support group meetings at Wayne HealthCare * Other cancer related expenses considered on individual basis Because the CADC provides help to Darke County residents, employees of Greenville National Bank feel strongly about supporting the organization. As a matter of fact, last month employees pitched in money to get “Casual for a Cause” to show their support for the CADC. For many GNB employees, this cause is one that resonates deep within their hearts – some because of family members or friends with cancer, others because they themselves have fought/are currently battling the disease. One cancer survivor and GNB employee said, “I originally found out about the CADC when my surgeon encouraged me

to use their services. That prompted me to find out more about them. From the time I walked into the office I found out how compassionate the office staff was about the organization and the clients they serve. I learned they assist Darke County cancer patients in many aspects, like nutritional supplements, caring support and mileage to name a few. It is great to have an organization right here locally that provides services people need when they receive a cancer diagnosis and throughout the treatment process. I feel Darke County is very fortunate to have this assistance available.” Another GNB employee, Eddie Grace Young, had this to say about the CADC: “I will be an eight year breast cancer survivor in December 2014 and my husband has gone through prostate cancer and his currently going through stage 4 esophagus and liver cancer. I am also currently on the board of the Cancer Association of Darke County. I have seen firsthand the help the CADC provides for the patients of Darke County. They have been very supportive to my husband and me. The girls in the office truly care for the patients they see on a daily basis. Not only by giving them direction and guidance for help, but by lending a shoulder to lean on and listening to the patients concerns and fears. I am proud to say I am on the Cancer Association of Darke County’s board and have been given the chance to help fellow cancer patients through their fight against this terrible disease.” Greenville National Bank employees want to encourage area residents and businesses to join them in supporting the Cancer Association of Darke County. To donate, find out more about services provided, or to read more testimonies of the impact of the CADC, go to www.cadcinfo.org.

the issues. Jim Richmond, with Managed Care Partners, explained the difference between original Medicare – which he likened to Classic Coke – and Medicare Advantage plans, which are actually managed by private insurers and replace rather than supplement Original Medicare. Richmond said there are two basic “roads” to get to Medicare coverage – Original Medicare, with Parts A, B, and D; or Medicare Advantage plans, or Part C. “Original Medicare provides coverage directly to you,” he said, noting that it is made up of Part A and/ or Part B. “Medicare Advantage plans are provided by private insurance companies and the costs, coverage and rules may be different than Original Medicare.” He said Medicare Advantage plans “fully replace” original Medicare, though consumers sometimes confuse them with “supplemental.” He said the companies who offer these plans have contracts with Medicare to provide the coverage. Richmond cited numerous examples of options for Medicare Advantage or Medicare supplement plans – sometimes called “Medigap” – and pointed out that an Original Medicare plan with a supplement policy is often the best choice for those who can budget the additional premiums. He used the example of regularly changing the oil ﬁlter in a car – the expense is more up front, but it can reduce costs down the road. That’s how he described the difference between Medigap policies – which can cost more in premiums up front – or a Medicare Advantage plan, which often can have lower premiums but can mean a lot more outof-pocket expense when the consumer actually uses the plan. Richmond also noted that the Advantage plans often have limited networks, usually by geographic areas, and encouraged participants to investigate those details before making their ﬁnal decisions. Richmond also recommended that during open enrollment each year that enrollees: * Check with your physicians and hospitals of choice to be sure they are in any plans you are considering – for example, Reid and Reid Physician Associates are not in network for Medicare Advantage plans. * Consider potential out-of-pocket expenses of each plan, noting that some plans offer no coverage or limited coverage if the care is received out of network. * Make sure if you need

prescription drug coverage that you check each plan to see if it is provided, and if so, what drugs are in the “formulary” for coverage. * Remember that if you have a Medicare Advantage plan that includes prescription coverage and enroll in a stand-alone plan, the Advantage plan will automatically be terminated. * If you have a Medigap policy but switch to a Medicare Advantage plan instead of original Medicare, you should drop the Medigap policy because it cannot be used to pay Medicare Advantage Plan copayments, deductibles and premiums. * If you have a Medicare Advantage Plan, it is illegal for anyone to sell you a Medigap policy unless you are switching back to Original Medicare in open enrollment. Richmond also noted that if people in a plan from last year take no action during open enrollment, they will stay in the plan from the previous

year – except in the case of a Medicare Advantage plan if it is discontinued. “But the plan should let you know that in plenty of time,” he said. “The most important thing to remember is to take your time and consider all your options,”

Richmond said. He said independent insurance agents can be a resource. Richmond noted these resources for residents making the decisions during open enrollment: * 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) * www.Medicare.gov

Aiding in World Health Policies DAYTON — Midmark recently announced its membership in the Partnership for Quality Medical Donations (PQMD) and appointment to the Board of Directors. By becoming a member, Midmark has the opportunity to further strengthen its product donations program with funding, volunteers, schooling and other services to sustain a variety of global health programs. Midmark will collaborate with national governments, multinational companies, and international nongovernmental organizations in order to track disease elimination as a public health problem, expand healthcare communications, create the competence of in-country healthcare workers, and aid in local health-related services. Midmark and PQMD will accomplish this through setting and endorsing quality standards, spreading awareness and inﬂuencing courses of action. “Like PQMD, we are committed to bringing measurable health impact to under-served and vulnerable people through active engagement with global partners and local communities,” said

Mitch Eiting, global community relations manager. “Midmark will now have input at the table regarding global health policies related to quality medical donations. Midmark will thus be in a position to support the PQMD vision by assuring excellence in medical product donations and service delivery, geography and economic status are no longer barriers to everyone having the opportunity of living a healthier life.” Through membership, organizations can share the common goal to join together, locally and globally, in effectively supporting those in communities with acute healthcare needs. In addition, PQMD membership provides the opportunity to collaboratively share experiences and knowledge that continually shape and strengthen PQMD’s “Best Practice Guidelines” for delivery of donated and purchased medical products and associated services.

Hospital supports annual Great American Smokeout GREENVILLE – The Wayne HealthCare 2014 Great American Smokeout event on Nov. 20 gave local smokers the chance to join others across the U.S. in taking steps to start living a tobacco free life. Whether you stopped by the awareness table to make a pledge to quit or made a self commitment you’re taking important steps toward a healthier life. The observance was started by the American Cancer Society in the 1970’s and has

The day has been used to draw awareness to the health risks associated with tobacco and secondhand smoke, even leading to many state and local regulations. Individuals who talked with pulmonary rehabilitation staff about programs or reasons to quit using tobacco were encouraged to make a pledge. Individuals were also entered into their “Quit Cold Turkey” drawing to win a free turkey for Thanksgiving. “It is our goal every year during the month of November to make our community more aware of COPD and encourage our community to stop smoking, even for just one day,” said Linda Fridley, pulmonary rehabilitation specialist at Wayne HealthCare. For more information about the Wayne HealthCare Lifestyle Enhancement Center (LEC) which includes pulmonary rehabilitation, cardiac rehabilitation, healing hearts clinic, blood pressure clinic and tobacco cessations programs, call 547-5917.

Mescher selected as a scholar MARIETTA – Trevor Mescher (Class of 2018) of Versailles, has been selected to be a McDonough Scholar at Marietta College this fall. Mescher is a graduate of Versailles High School. The nationally recognized McDonough Leadership Program helps students gain a deeper understanding of leadership, practice their leadership skills, and in the process grow as engaged leaders on campus, in the local community, and beyond. Students must be accepted into the program through a highly selective process. While a part of the program, Mescher will take leadership

classes, participate in different community service projects including the award-winning Make a Difference Day in October. Mescher will have the chance to travel as part of the McDonough Leadership Study Abroad, pursue a variety of experiential activities, and attend prestigious leadership conferences. “We have an outstanding group of students starting the leadership program this fall,” said Dr. Gama Perruci, Dean of McDonough. “They are driven and full of passion. It’s very exciting to work with them because they are at a stage in their lives when they are deﬁning their goals and developing their

leadership skills in order to pursue their dreams. The McDonough Leadership Program serves as the nurturer of those dreams.” Mescher came to campus the week before classes began to participate in the EXCEL (Experience Civic Engagement and Leadership) Workshop, designed to introduce students to the McDonough Leadership Development Model. As a McDonough Scholar, Mescher will pursue one of four academic options: International Leadership Studies Major, Minor in Leadership Studies, Certiﬁcate in Leadership Studies, and the Teacher Leadership Certiﬁcate.
