Year-long study reveals TCAP is working SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Providing opportunities for rehabilitation without long term incarceration is having a positive impact in Darke County.

According to a year-long study commissioned by Judge Jonathan P. Hein and completed by Shelby Slaven, a graduate student researcher from The Ohio State University, Darke County is seeing fewer repeat offenders

since implementing changes outlined by the state legislators beginning in 2011.

These changes are linked to the county’s participation in J-RIG – a Justice Reinvestment Initiative grant in 2011 and in 2017, moving to the state-funded TCAP – Targeted Community Alternatives to Prison - program. The county receives $10,000 per month to implement TCAP – paying for additional probation staff to work with low level, mostly felony 5 drug offenders as well as for drug testing and jail-based education pro-

Council clears way for raises and purchases RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – A lengthy agenda for Greenville City Council on Tuesday night equated to an expensive night for the city.

Council approved several collective bargaining agreements, purchase of equipment and finance committee reports to give raises to non-union salary exempt employees and elected officials.

After several weeks of discussing the purchase of a Bomford Flail Bot remote controlled mower with a brush cutter attachment, council gave its approval with a 5-1 vote. Originally, council heard the price was approximately $97,000, but Safety Service Director Curt Garrison later estimated the cost to be closer to $94,000.

Councilman Clarence Godwin had tried to stop the purchase by having it pulled from a finance committee report in November, but the administration was persistent and convinced council the purchase was needed.

Godwin asked why the city couldn’t install additional rip rap stones to eliminate the safety concern in at least one of the areas where the city would use the mower. Garrison said, “You can put rip rap any place you desire.” The councilman also suggested purchasing a smaller version of the mower. Garrison pointed out the administration chose the larger version because it has the availability of the attachments where the smaller versions did not. “If cost is a concern and council did not want to have the availability and wanted to go with the bank mower, it is certainly an option,” said Garrison.

Mayor Steve Willman added, “This mower is expensive. There’s no doubt about it. But it does different things.” He continued, “It could save somebody’s life. It is expensive, but I’d still be for it. I’d like to see

them get it.”

With a slight grin on his face, Godwin said he looked west at the creek bank from the bridge. “I’d like to see that thing mow that,” he said. The comment elicited a non-verbal response from Council President John Burkett who turned his head, rolled his eyes and pointed toward Godwin.

Council approved ordinances ratifying collective bargaining agreements with the Greenville Patrol Officers Assoc., Greenville Professional Firefighters Assoc. and the International Union of Operating Engineers.

At their next meeting, council will consider legislation to increase pay for some elected officials.

If approved, the increases would take place in 2020.

Council is required to establish the salaries prior to the board of election’s deadline for candidates to file.

Ward council members will see an increase to $5,400.

The mayor’s salary will increase to $49,070 in 2020, $50,540 in 2021, $52,055 in 2022, and $53,620 in 2023.

The auditor’s salary will be set at $69,690 in 2020, $72,480 in 2021, $75,380 in 2022 and $78,395 in 2023.

The law director’s salary will jump to $95,000. The assistant law director’s salary will increase to $52,000 beginning in 2019. Council unanimously approved the committee’s report.

Council also unanimously approved the finance committee report for non-union salary exempt employees.

The committee recommended the following have an increase of eight percent over three years (three percent in 2019 and 2020 and two percent in 2021) – fire chief, assistant fire chief, fire lieutenants, police chief and police lieutenants. The increase does not include additional cost of living increases that may be added.

Council also approved the purchase of vehicles for the police and fire departments.

grams.

Slaven, who holds master’s degrees in public administration and the study of law, spent the past year working with Darke County court and adult probation department employees to determine how these changes – offering low level offenders the opportunity to rehabilitate instead of going to prison – had affected Darke County’s recidivism rate.

Hein said he decided to retain the services of Slaven after being asked numerous times if the changes have “worked or resulted in positive results” and what he calls a “fair question” asked by the community.

On Friday, Nov. 30, Hein hosted a number of stakeholders – health, court and other professionals dealing with offenders – to hear an overview of the results of Slaven’s study.

Slaven looked at 250 Darke County cases. The demographic of these cases were white males with a median age of 37 and with a history of drug abuse.

Ninety-seven percent of reoffenders reported a history

of drug abuse, with 80 percent reporting they were offending (drugs) at the time of their court sentencing.

One point Slaven’s study revealed was that drug treatment lasting less than 90 days has limited effectiveness.

According to Hein, two results are evident: * Darke County community control process (probation) for low level offender resulted in 7 percent less recidivism measured three years off probation compared to sending the same person to prison and measuring one year after release, and * Local community control sanctions resulted in 18 percent less recidivism than the Ohio risk tool suggests for community control cases - this is likely the best comparison data for local effectiveness.

During Friday’s breakfast meeting Hein acknowledged the fact that changing and educating offenders about the whys of their behavior was just part of the solution to fighting recidivism.

“It’s not just educating the defendant,” he said,

noting the “flip side of the coin is about educating the public. The public needs to know more. The community has to understand the risk and what leads to criminal behavior. It’s not just educating the defendant.”

Slaven’s study looked at a variety of elements relating to those who offend, including their drug abuse history, family relationships, education, and employment history.

“The (county’s) lower

recidivism rate is promising,” Slaven noted, adding how implementing the TCAP method was “treating the individual and not the charge.”

Slaven’s year-long study also revealed what improvements need to be made to incur even better results.

For example Hein believes there is a need for extended treatment programs.

“No one can be successful with an eight-week class.

It’s a longer term solution,” he said, also noting the need for additional mental health and health-related services.

Another point of emphasis for Hein is that the study affirmed “substance abuse has high correlation to criminal conduct and subsequent recidivism - no surprise to the courts and treatment providers. This validates what many people think, and what decriminalization advocates might deny,” Hein said. “There is a caution to all this: statistical correlations don’t predict individual human behavior; but statistics can help analyze the effectiveness of programs and give direction.”

Former Paradise, Calif. resident urges support of fire relief efforts SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY – Brandalyn Haines is inviting those planning to make contributions this holiday season to consider donating to the Paradise, Calif. fire victim relief.

“When I think of home, I think of Paradise,” Haines, 40, said.

Haines, who lives in Union City, has resided in Ohio for nearly two decades, raising four children and working in Darke County.

On Nov. 8, she said she took her last break of the day from her job at Fram.

“I was looking at Facebook. There was a lot of chatter about California being on fire,” Haines said.

When she realized the Camp Fire was destroying her hometown, Haines became concerned about family still living in the Paradise area – especially her grandparents.

Haines said she immediately began trying to contact family members.

She briefly spoke to an uncle, who said her grandparents had made it down from the mountain safely – driving through flames.

“Paradise is literally a mountain town,” Haines said, explaining how officials were not letting anyone go “up” the only four-lane road accessing Paradise. All

lanes were open for those trying to escape the fire.

Haines learned her uncle parked his car in a parking lot at the bottom of the mountain to watch for her grandparents’ car coming down. He eventually found them and took them safely to his home in the valley.

Since then, Haines has briefly spoken to her grandfather and other relatives, with the family mainly communicating via a chat room her aunt previously set up for another family emergency.

“I talked to my grandpa today,” Haines told the Early Bird on Monday, Dec. 3.

“He was telling me about how he was asleep and his sister called and told him to get out, that Paradise was on fire. He looked out and he saw a big wall of fire coming. He said he barely had enough time to get Grandma and get out.”

Her grandfather also explained how he had to drive through flames and how they barely made it out of the fire – the most destructive in California history, burning more than 153,000 acres, killing 88 and destroying more than 18,000 structures.

Her grandfather, a retired contractor, had refused to leave his home during previous fires near Paradise, Haines said. “He’d get on the roof and spray it down with water.”

The fire displaced thou-

sands, including members of Haines’ family.

“I want to do something for all of them. Just because I don’t live there anymore” doesn’t lessen her concern, Haines added.

Haines’ great-grandfather Sidney Cox built the sign welcoming visitors to Paradise – some may have seen the sign on news coverage of the fire. Her uncle took photos of the sign on fire and sent them to her.

Haines also describes family Christmas get-togethers at the home of her grandparents on Dean Road.

The only thing standing is the home’s fireplace, which she said the large family would gather round to hear her grandmother recite her poetry each Christmas.

Haines has been researching the best way to help the Paradise fire vic-

tims, determining making monetary donations is the best way to support recovery.

“There’s so many people there making donations of clothing and other supplies,” she said.

Haines would like to encourage Darke County residents and businesses to consider donating to relief organizations such as the American Red Cross at redcross.org or to calfund. org. Both websites offer information on how to best donate.

Those wishing more information are invited to contact Haines by emailing her at brandalyn.mcnutt@ yahoo.com or through Facebook (Brandalyn M. Haines).

She also will respond to texts at 937-537-6489.

POLICE BEAT Man with two warrants cited for theft at Family Dollar PAGE 2 December 9, 2018-The Early Bird, www.bluebagmedia.com

SHOPLIFTING

On Dec. 3 ofďŹ cers were called to the Family Dollar on Martin Street on a shoplifting report. The complainant reported there was a suspicious person inside the store with a hand full of items taken from the shelves. The suspect went into the bathroom and when he came out the items were gone. The complainant said the subject left the store and got inside a tan car in the parking lot. Upon arrival, the ofďŹ cer found Matthew Unger inside the tan car.

The ofďŹ cer was aware Unger had an active warrant. Unger’s identity was conďŹ rmed and he was arrested. The complainant gave ofďŹ cers a list of what she thought had been taken by Unger. One of the ofďŹ cers went into the store’s bathroom and found packaging from some of those items in the trash can.

Unger’s girlfriend was asked to go outside and assist ofďŹ cers by searching the car for the stolen items. T-shirts, socks and headphones were found under the passenger seat. OfďŹ cers did not locate anything illegal. They ran Unger’s name through LEADS and found he had two warrants, one for failure to appear on misdemeanor drug abuse instru-

Before placing him in a police cruiser, ofďŹ cers searched Unger, asking him if he had anything sharp on him that would stick, poke or cut them. Unger answered he didn’t think so.

OfďŹ cers searched Unger’s pockets and his clothing – he had on several pieces of clothes, including two pairs of pants. They transported him to the Darke County Jail, where he was searched again. This time, ofďŹ cers found a syringe between the second pair of pants he was wearing and the waistband of his shorts. Unger was cited for theft. The jail staff is considering charges for bringing the needle into the county jail.

WANTED PERSON

On Nov. 30 an ofďŹ cer on routine patrol observed Kaishan Hudson in front of his residence is the 400 block of East Third Street. The ofďŹ cer was familiar with the defendant and checked him through LEADS, which showed he had a felony warrant from the Adult Parole Authority. The defendant was placed under arrest and incarcerated in the Darke County Jail.

On Nov. 30 an ofďŹ cer observed Meka Seiler near the corner of Hiddeson Avenue and 11th Street. Having prior knowledge that Seiler had an outstanding bench warrant for her arrest, the ofďŹ cer made contact with her.

ized use of property. The defendant was placed under arrest and incarcerated at the Darke County Jail.

On Nov. 30 ofďŹ cers were called to the 600 block of East Fourth Street on the report of two known females with felony arrest warrants.

When the ofďŹ cer arrived on the scene, several detectives were in the roadway speaking with Kathryn Lovejoy and Robin Foshee. One of the detectives advised the ofďŹ cer that both subjects had active warrants for trafďŹ cking in heroin. The subjects were placed under arrest, searched and transported to the county jail, where both were held without bond.

On Dec. 4 ofďŹ cers were in the 1100 block of East Russ Road where they observed Justin Hawkins coming down the steps of an apartment. OfďŹ cers were aware Hawkins had an active warrant. They detained him until the warrant, which was for failure to appear for non-support of dependents could be conďŹ rmed. Hawkins was searched and transported to Darke County Jail where he was held on a bond of $525.

DISORDERLY

On Dec. 2 an ofďŹ cer was dispatched to the Sunoco in the 800 block of Martin Street in reference to a trespassing complaint. Dispatch advised the ofďŹ cer a male subject was possibly intoxicated and was refusing to leave the store. Upon arrival, the ofďŹ cer spoke with the complainant who said the subject was yelling obscenities at customers and refusing to leave. The ofďŹ cer identiďŹ ed the subject as Herman Linder. The ofďŹ cer could smell a strong odor of alcohol on Linder and he seemed highly intoxicated. The ofďŹ cer advised Linder to step outside, but the subject yelled obscenities at the ofďŹ cer. The ofďŹ cer took Linder outside and placed him in the back seat of the police cruiser. The ofďŹ cer attempted to contact several people to come pick up Linder, During this time, Linder began hitting his head against the windows of the cruiser. The ofďŹ cer checked on Linder and he refused to respond. Greenville Rescue was called to the scene. Linder refused to cooperate with paramedics and was transported to Wayne HealthCare, where he repeatedly yelled at staff and ofďŹ cers. Linder was restrained to the bed due to his attempting to break his handcuffs, which resulted in injuring his wrists. He kicked his legs and continued to yell obscenities.

Linder was warned numerous times throughout the incident at the hospital. He was subsequently cleared by medical staff and released into the custody of his sister. Linder was cited for disorderly conduct while intoxicated in a medical facility.

He also was trespassed from the Sunoco gas station.

On Nov. 29 ofďŹ cers were dispatched to the 400 block of South Broadway on the report of an intoxicated male falling in the roadway. An ofďŹ cer saw a male lying in the roadway, who was later identiďŹ ed as Seth Robbins. Another ofďŹ cer arrived to assist. Robbins, who appeared highly intoxicated was asked several times if he was OK and if he needed medical attention.

According to the report, ofďŹ cers observed several contusions on his head and a laceration on his knee.

Greenville Township Rescue was called to the scene.

Robbins was unable to answer their questions. Due to his lack of cooperation and level of intoxication, Robins was told he had to be taken to the hospital for evaluation. When rescue personnel pulled the cot out of the squad, he refused to sit

on the cot and fought with personnel. They eventually secured him onto the cot.

Robbins was buckled down on the cot and transported to the hospital. The ofďŹ cer followed the rescue squad to assist. Once at the hospital Robbins continued to ďŹ ght with rescue personnel. Robbins was issued a citation for disorderly conduct and advised of his court date.

FIGHT

On Dec. 1 an ofďŹ cer responded to the 300 block of E. Fifth St. the report of a ďŹ ght between William Swider and his neighbor. Neither party wanted to pursue charges. Witnesses said the ďŹ ght was over a parking spot. Swider was highly intoxicated and was yelling, cussing and threatening the neighbor. After an ofďŹ cer arrived, a friend took Swider into his apartment. Later

in the day, ofďŹ cers were called back to the scene because Swider had gone back into the street and was continuing to yell obscenities at neighbors. OfďŹ cers told him to quit or he’d be taken to jail. His mother also asked him to quit because she said she didn’t want to have to bail him out of jail.

Swider began calling his mother obscene names. He went back inside and continued to yell through the wall. OfďŹ cers asked Swider’s mother to tell him to come back outside. Swider did so and was placed under arrest for disorderly conduct.

Because he had injuries to his mouth from the earlier ďŹ ght, ofďŹ cers called Greenville Rescue to the scene, but Swider refused treatment. After a while, he said he needed to be transported to Wayne HealthCare,

where he became disorderly again. After receiving treatment for some of his injuries at Wayne, Swider was transported to Miami Valley Hospital to receive additional care. He was issued a citation by Greenville Police for disorderly conduct.

Number of deer taken down from 2017 COLUMBUS – Despite enduring poor weather, hunters in Ohio checked 60,557 white-tailed deer during the 2018 weeklong deer-gun season, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).

Last year, hunters checked 72,814 deer over the same period. Darke County had 215 deer taken this year and 305 taken in 2017.

Ohio’s deer-gun hunting season remains a tradition enjoyed by thousands of hunters for more than 75 years. Starting the Monday after Thanksgiving, Buckeye State hunters safely enjoyed seven days of deer-gun hunting.

For Ohio hunters who missed the deer-gun week, there are still more options to pursue deer. Hunters can enjoy two more days of deer-gun season on Satur-

day, Dec. 15, and Sunday, Dec. 16, and muzzleloader season is Jan. 5-8, 2019.

Ohio hunters still have two months left of deer archery season, which remains open through Sunday, Feb. 3, 2019. Find more information about deer hunting in the 2018-2019 Ohio Hunting and Trapping Regulations or at wildohio.gov.

For the ďŹ rst time this year, Ohio resident hunters can purchase multiyear and lifetime licenses at wildohio. gov and at hundreds of participating agents throughout the state. License buyers can choose from 3-year, 5-year, 10-year and lifetime hunting or ďŹ shing licenses.

All money generated from the sale of multiyear and lifetime licenses is deposited into the Wildlife Fund, where it will be used to protect and enhance Ohio’s

wildlife populations.

The ODNR Division of Wildlife remains committed to properly managing Ohio’s deer populations. The goal of Ohio’s Deer Management Program is to provide a deer population that maximizes recreational opportunities, while minimizing conicts with landowners and motorists.

Ohio ranks ďŹ fth nationally in resident hunters and 11th in the number of jobs associated with huntingrelated industries. Hunting has a more than $853 million economic impact in Ohio through the sale of equipment, fuel, food, lodging and more, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s Hunting in America: An Economic Force for Conservation publication.

Darke County Crime Stoppers is offering a $2,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of person(s) responsible for arsons and suspicious fires occurring around the Greenville and Darke County areas.

Homan Insurance now in Versailles, too

BY LINDA MOODY CORRESPONDENT lmoody@earlybirdpaper.com

VERSAILLES – Homan Insurance bought out the Fast Insurance agency in Versailles nearly a year ago, and owner Stan Homan feels comfortable at this location.

“My wife, Carolyn, and I went into the insurance business 27 years ago in Chickasaw and still have an office there,” said Homan. “It’s a 15-minute drive to here.”

Homan said they learned that the former owner of the Versailles business, Annette Bucher, was considering selling the business, which was started by her family many

years ago.

“Annette wanted to keep it more of a family operation,” Stan said. “You get a smaller, more personal service with us. The same person takes care of each customer. It’s more personal.”

There are a total of seven employees, including the Homans and two of their sons, Kyle and Travis. Bucher also remains on staff and is working at the Versailles agency with Brenda Dirksen, secretary.

“Kyle spends most of his time here and Travis is here sometimes,” Stan said.

Homan Insurance offers everything in the insurance line...auto, home, lots of

farms, life and health.

“We’re very competitive in group health,” he said.

Homan, who is originally from St. Anthony and a graduate of Coldwater High School, said he grew up on the farm and still lives on one.

“We go out on every claim, whether it would be a Saturday night or early on a Sunday,” he said. “If I’m hired to do it, I’m going there.”

Homan Insurance has eight companies it writes with.

“The companies are rated,” he said. “They are in the top 50 companies in the United States. You have to be financially sound for it. Over three-fourths of those companies are on that list.”

Homan, married to the former Carolyn Thobe, has five children and seven grandchildren.

He has learned that he truly does have a connection to the Bucher family.

“When we bought this, my father-in-law’s brother’s granddaughter married Annette’s son,” he said.

The Versailles agency is open six days a week from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. or by appointment and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon.

FFA chapter raises Poinsettia crop PITSBURG – The Franklin Monroe MVCTC FFA Chapter brought in a small shipment of poinsettias on Oct. 13. The Animal and Plant Science classes have taken care of and nurtured these plants so that they are ready to be sold for Christmas.

To prepare the greenhouse for the poinsettias, Xavier Gilliland and Jacob Aslinger assisted Mr. Bergman in setting the computer system up for the appropriate climate.

Students in the Plant and Animal Science classes assembled the irrigation system to ensure that the plants received appropriate water and nutrients.

The system was designed to give each plant the necessary water and fertilizer at the appropriate time. Individual irrigation drips are placed in each of the plants. This slow watering prevents overwatering and also prevents that leaves from getting too much moisture on them which can cause discoloration.

Students discussed and investigated the three major macronutrients necessary for proper

plant health. After determining the nutrients that are required, the students formulated the proper fertilizer to deliver these nutrients to the plants. They utilized a Dosa-Tron fertilizer system to accurately fertilize each plant. Along with watering the plants the students visually inspected the plants to ensure proper plant health.

All of their hard work has paid off as the students now have poinsettias that are ready to be sold to the public.

This project has proved

to be a valuable learning experience as the students have learned about plant health and nutrition. Not only did they learn about plant systems, but they have also learned about sales and marketing.

These poinsettias are now available to the public for purchase. The poinsettias are $8 each or 4 for $30. If you are interested in purchasing some poinsettias, please contact the Franklin Monroe High School office at (937) 947-1328 and ask to speak to the ag advisor, Mr. Bergman.

Commission approves agreement with Preble County SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – Preble County will be receiving new communication radios, thanks to an inter-government agreement between their commissioners and Darke County.

On Wednesday, the Darke County Commissioners approved the agreement, which includes giving 25 in-vehicle mounted radios to Preble County.

The 25 units are among the radios Darke County received from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) prior to the county’s move to the new Multi-Agency Radio Communications System (MARCS).

No money is exchanging hands as a result of

the agreement, explained Mike Rhoades, noting how “we should be glad to help our neighbors out. They needed some, so why not cooperate and help?�

Rhoades said Darke County had “more (radios) than we could use and need.�

In April 2017, commissioners learned the county would be the recipient of 180 portable and 106 mobile units from ODNR, saving the the budget around $650,000.

The radios were procured by Mindy Saylor, director of the Darke County OfďŹ ce of Homeland Security & Emergency Management after she heard ODNR would be replacing their units.

Darke County began using the MARCS communication system for emergency calls this past May.

Healthcare programs available DARKE COUNTY – Do you have or know a child with a special health care need? Did you know there is a healthcare program in Ohio that links families of children with special healthcare needs? This program is called Children With Medical Handicaps or CMH, formerly HCMH. This is a program to help families cover the cost of their child’s healthcare needs.

CMH has three different programs to help serve children with special healthcare needs.

A Diagnostic Program, which a child can receive services for a period of six months at a time from CMH approved providers.

This is used when a child has a problem to rule out or to diagnose a condition and develop a plan of action.

The Treatment Program is used to provide ongoing treatment service for eligible children. Children may receive services for one year from approved CMH providers. This program requires both medical and ďŹ nancial eligibility.

Service Coordination is the third program. This

helps families coordinate services for their child with speciďŹ c conditions with a team of CMH approved providers.

There are many conditions eligible for service, including cancer, cleft lip palate, cystic ďŹ brosis, cerebral palsy, diabetes, hearing loss, and congenital heart disease.

Children who are age 0-21 are eligible and must be a resident of Ohio as well as have a chronically diagnosed condition, and be under the care of a BCMH-approved provider.

Financial eligibility is determined on the service needs of the child and the adjusted gross income of the family. Middle income families with children who need expensive services may still be eligible for CMH coverage. Families who have been notiďŹ ed they are over the income guidelines for CMH are advised of the availability of a cost-share program.

For more information, contact your local public health nurse, Casey Shipp at 937-548-4196. ext. 215.

Or visit the Ohio Department of Health website at www.ODH.OHIO.gov.

Elizabeth will be missed by many Linda’s Mood Swings

by Linda Moody bluebagmedia.com

Rick and Kathy Brewer have been dealt a huge blow this week, when daughter Elizabeth “EB� passed away.

The many people who knew Elizabeth are mourning this loss as well. She was a pleasure to be around. “It is with a sad and very heavy heart I need to inform you that at 3:25 this morning my daughter Elizabeth was called back to the loving hands of our Lord,�

Rick wrote on Facebook this week. “She was with us 37 years. She lived life to the fullest and enjoyed being alive and with her friends and with her family.

Even though she had Down Syndrome, she was an exceptional lady. EVERYONE loved EB.�

I myself have seen Elizabeth at different functions over the years but never got to know her until son Jamie and I started attending the

Commissioner’s Corner November is the unofďŹ cial start of winter, and the ofďŹ cial month of Thanksgiving. It seems the weather has brought winter in early on some days, and on other days it seems it was trying to hang onto fall. Our farmers have had a devil of a time getting crops in because of the rainfall this month, and at this writing, there is still plenty to harvest.

November turned out to be eventful in the Commissioner’s ofďŹ ce. This month saw us get a handle on the budget for next year.

Thanks to the conservative hard work our elected ofďŹ cials along with the Commissioner’s OfďŹ ce we will have a balanced budget for 2019. This budget issue was the fault of none of our ofďŹ cials, nor the Commissioners; this was a revenue loss from the State, along with increased demands for other mandates. With the

Elizabeth had a bubbly personality, dance moves and most of all a heart of gold, which we have found out but learned more about by reading numerous comments on Facebook. She also sang as she came from a very musical background.

In talking with Elizabeth a number of times, I learned that she loved to write. She was also the one who informed me that Persons Centered Services was moving into the old Early Bird ofďŹ ces on Sebring-Warner Road.

A message from the Darke County Developmental Disabilities read, in part: “It is with the heaviest of hearts that we say good-bye to our dear friend. Elizabeth was known by many and loved by all.

The Courthouse security issue is closer to being resolved, we hope. We have all agreed that one entrance only is the preferred way to secure the Courthouse. We have come up with a plan to do just that, and that will mean closing the front steps and back door to the public, using them for emergency exit only, and having a new entrance in the front that is handicap accessible. The front steps will remain the same for the time being, and in the near future, we will hopefully be able to do a proper set for the front of

the Courthouse.

Looking back on 2018, this has been a banner year for the County. We have seen Midmark invest upwards of 44 million dollars in a new Research center, BASF has invested 30 million in new equipment for new customers, and Whirlpool has installed the ďŹ rst wind turbines in Darke County to help defer some of their electrical costs. The Early Bird has moved to its new home in downtown Greenville and we want to welcome them and wish them much fortune in their new location! Our unemployment rate is still very low, and our businesses are still hiring. Greenville has won more awards from Ohio Magazine for being the best in eight different categories again! All of our small town festivals in the County were well attended and the Main Street Greenville Horse parade was named the best in Ohio, along with The Garst

Museum and others!

All-in-all, this has been a good year for the county, and we see no real slowdown in economic development and growth for 2019.

When you stop and really think about it, we have a lot to be thankful for this year. Things are good here, it’s a great place to live and work with lots to do for everyone. Not every place can say that!

Now that November has come and gone, and by now we should all be out of our turkey coma, it is time to get back to a regular routine until Christmas. While you are out shopping or just looking around, you may stop in any Monday or Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. at the Commissioner’s ofďŹ ce in downtown Greenville and catch one of our open public sessions. We are located at 520 South Broadway, just south of the Courthouse. Hope to see you soon!

Greenville wrestling dominates Tippecanoe Red Devils 58-6 GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

sGREENVILLE – The Green Wave varsity wrestling team dominated Tippecanoe on senior night in Greenville, defeating the Red Devils in 11 of the 12 matches in the Tuesday night dual meet to earn a 58-6 win.

“I am real proud of all the boys – it was a great night,” said Greenville coach David Guillozet.

“They didn’t quit, they wrestled hard and that’s all you ask for as a coach.

Just give it everything you have and they were ready for them today.”

Greenville opened with

a 6-0 lead with Wave junior, Andrew Stachler earning a first period pin in the 106 pound class.

Back-to-back Tipp forfeits went to Wave 120 pound Drayk Kallenberger and 126 pound Logan Thatcher giving the home team an early 18-0 advantage.

Riley Slade followed with a first period pin in the 132 weight class to put Greenville ahead 24-0.

GHS freshman Matthew Edwards earned a win in the 138 pound class and Dean Hurd took the 145 weight class to extend the home team’s lead to 30-0.

The Wave’s Jacob Mikesell wrestled his way to a first period pin at 152

to give Greenville a 36-0 lead.

Wrestling at the 160 pound class, GHS senior Joseph Edwards picked up a first period pin to make it a 42-0 Green Wave advantage.

Zane Mancillas extended the Wave’s shutout to 46-0, winning the 170 pound class.

Tippecanoe would pick up its lone points of the night by way of a forfeit in the 195 pound class, a class the Wave would not fill making a 46-6 score followed with Tytan Grote winning by a forfeit upping the Green Wave’s lead to 52-6.

Lady Trojans JV too much for Sidney Lehman Catholic

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com ARCANUM –The Arcanum Lady Trojans JV dominated the visiting Sidney Lehman Catholic Lady Cavaliers JV squad with a 51-18 win.

“Our game plan is to run the ball, transition, get out quick and we did that a couple times even on a made basket so I couldn’t ask for anything better, but we have some shooters,” said Arcanum JV coach Nicole Pohlman. “That freshman class is pretty special and we have two sophomores that also contribute.

They all play hard.”

The Lady Trojans got off to a slow start taking the opening period by a 7-2 score and both teams putting eight points on the second quarter board sending the teams to the break with Arcanum holding a 15-10 advantage.

Hailey Unger accounted for 10 Lady Trojans third quarter points including two triples with Arcanum taking the third period by a 19-3 and lead 34-13 with one period to play.

Meghan McCans scored 10 fourth quarter point for Arcanum as the Lady Trojans would close out play

with 17 point in the final period to earn the nonconference win over the Shelby County School.

“The one thing I never have to worry about with my girls – they play hard start to finish,” Pohlman said.

Coach Pohlman was pleased with the inside play of Ellie Fout and Hannah Smith.

“Ellie Fout and Hannah Smith, both underneath are not going to take anything from anybody, doesn’t matter what size they are – if they are outsized,” noted Pohlman.

“They are physical, physical players. I couldn’t be prouder of them.”

McCans led the Lady Trojans and all scorers in the game with 18 points.

“We’re lacking big guys but the big guys we have, they work hard in practice.”

Greenville sophomore Colton McCartney would close out the night with a first period pin in the heavyweight (275) class to give Greenville an impressive 58-6 win over the Tipp City school.

Five Green Wave seniors were honored prior to the night’s match: Riley Slade, Dean Hurd, Joseph Edwards, Jacob Goldsmith and Jacob Mikesell.

“All my seniors are great – I love them all,” Coach Gillozet said following the meet. “I knew them my first year, they were seventh graders and I worked with the seventh graders.

You can’t ask for a better group of kids.”

Greenville’s Joseph Edwards works for a pin in 58-6 win over Tippecanoe.

“Jacob Mikesell gets better and better every year,” noted Guillozet. “Joseph Edwards and Jacob

“Dean Hurd has been coming on the last couple of years,” added Guillozet.

“I am really impressed with all those boys.”

TV Lady Patriots nip FM Lady Jets

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com NEW MADISON – The Tri-Village Lady Patriots defeated the visiting Franklin Monroe Lady Jets 43-40 in a Thursday night Cross County Conference basketball game.

“I just asked them to play as hard as they could, to leave it on the floor and play for each other,” said TV varsity assistant coach Laden Delawder, “and that’s what we got tonight.”

“My heart breaks for these girls,” said FM coach Abbie Moore. “They played their butts off tonight and they wanted it.

We came up short in the end but I am so extremely proud of their effort – our effort on the defensive end. A couple more shots fall and it’s a different ballgame.”

Franklin Monroe took the opening period 1412 led by Belle Cable and Corina Conley each drilling two triples while the Lady Patriots Andi Bietry was burying two treys and a 2-pointer.

Tri-Village took the second quarter 16-11 with

Greenville’s Aaron Rich shines at Bluffton University GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

RICHMOND, Ind. – Greenville 2016 alum, Aaron Rich was in Richmond, Indiana Wednesday night with the Bluffton University Beavers men’s basketball team helping to guide the team to an 82-80 double overtime win over Earlham College.

“My freshman year it was a very big change but now that I have transitioned to a sophomore I’ve gotten the feel of it and I like it a lot better,” Rich said of his second season.

“There is a lot more competition every night and you have to bring you’re “A” game every night. It’s not like high school where you can play five guys. You have to have a strong bench and you have to have faith in your teammates.”

Rich’s mother, Bonnie, GHS Coach Kyle Joseph and two sons and Tracy Tryon as well as other fans made the trip to Richmond to watch the Greenville native take the court.

“She comes to every game,” Rich said of his mother. “She is a diehard fan – she’s my No. 1 fan.”

“It means a lot,” Rich

noted of his high school coach’s support. “Coach Joseph supports me as I try to support him and his program. I try to come back and help whenever I can. I appreciate it a lot. It just shows that coach cares about his players.”

“Anytime I get a chance and my family gets a chance to come see Aaron – we love to come see him,” said Coach Joseph. “He is such a tremendous kid.”

The 6’5” 205 pound sophomore forward is in his second season starting for the Beavers.

Bluffton head coach Guy Neal enters his 30th season, the winningest coach in the history of Bluffton University men’s basketball program and is pleased to have Rich playing for the Beavers.

“Aaron Rich is what you want your student athletes and the members of your program to be,” said Coach Neal. “He’s a high character young man on and off the court. He’s doing well in school, he is well respected on campus and not only is he a good basketball player but the lights come on. He has worked hard this offseason to get better.”

Coach Neal is no stranger to Darke County which had

a big part in Rich making his way to Bluffton. Coach Neil and his wife were high school classmates and close friends of former GHS head football coach Frank Horvath and wife Pam as well as longtime friend of Greenville City Schools Superintendent Doug Fries and retired GHS school teacher Tracy Trion.

“That’s how it all got started,” Neal said of Rich playing for Bluffton, “I’ve known Tracy for years and years and I go back to Frank Horvath in high school. Frank and I were teammates together. Frank and Pam and my wife all went to high school together, so I have been coming down to Greenville for a lot of years.”

“I know Doug Fries real well – he’s a Bluffton alum.

Your coach (Kyle Joseph) and my son Tyler were graduate assistants together at the University of Akron.”

“The beginning of Aaron’s senior year my son gets ahold of me and says, ‘Coach Joseph wants you to get ahold him. He has this kid he thinks it will be a great fit, a good player but probably a D-III guy, high character kid’ – so that is how it all got going. I got

Arcanum non-conference winners over Green Wave

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

ARCANUM – The Arcanum Trojans defeated the visiting Green Wave 55-29 in a Saturday night non-conference meeting.

“The kids have worked hard for a month – they were ready to play a ballgame,” said Arcanum first year coach Jim Melton.

“We have a lot of things to work on obviously but you don’t want to peak the first of December so we’re pretty happy with the efforts.”

“We want to play better and there’s some things we need to get better on – but it’s also a process,” said Greenville coach Kyle Joseph. “They took advantage of our turnovers, they played solid on defense.”

The Trojans took a 13-0 lead after one period of play led by seven Evan Atchley points including a trey.

Greenville scored eight second quarter points paced by five Noah Walker points including a triple while Arcanum was adding 11 points to the board to take a 24-8 lead at the break.

Carter Gray led the Trojans in third quarter scoring with five points including a three to give the Trojans a 37-18 advantage with three periods in the

ahold of Kyle and started the communication and stayed on it and here he is.”

Rich was a member of the 2015 Green Wave GWOC championship team, winning the school’s first conference championship in 60 years.

Coming off the bench the 2015 season as a sophomore, Rich had his best offensive game of the year scoring 12 point against Eaton in a Wave 76-37 win.

Rich averaged 10.2 points and 6.1 rebounds his junior season for the Wave and 15.6 points and 7.8 re-

bounds per game his senior year under first year GHS head coach Kyle Joseph.

The Greenville native can always be seen in the GHS gym working on his game while lending a hand and encouraging younger local athletes when home from college.

“I had the pleasure to coach him for a year,” said Coach Joseph. “Just a great opportunity. He is such an asset to the Greenville community, Greenville High School and our boys basketball program. Every chance he gets he comes back – open gyms, practices, games.”

“When he is in the gym working on his game there are high schoolers in there and he goes through drills with them during the summer,” added Joseph. “He is always looking to help out, so any chance that I get to come back and support him is great. Enjoying getting to watch him tonight and following his college career.”

“We are tickled to death to have Aaron at Bluffton,” concluded Coach Neal.

“He’s a valuable member of our program on and off the court and its pleasure to coach him and work with him.”

book.

Six Trojans got in the fourth quarter scoring column for the teams largest scoring output of the night with 18 points while five Wave players were totaling 11 points to give the home team an opening season win.

Coach Melton had high praise for his floor general, Wade Meeks, following the game.

“We really emphasize with Wade to play at a different level because I think we can go as he goes,” noted Melton. “He can take us to the other level that we want to get to. He can push the pace. He plays at another speed now that

he has gotten comfortable from his injury and he’s recovered. He is doing a fine job – he’s doing everything we are asking of him.”

Evan Atchley led Arcanum and all players in the game with 14 points.

“Evan is Honorable Mention last year from the CCC,” said Melton. “He is a really nice player. He’s a well-rounded player. He brings a lot to the table.

He can put it on the floor, he can shoot it, he offensive rebounds, he can do it all. He’s the ‘Johnny Utility Guy’ and we really appreciate his leadership. He is one of our team captains and we go as he goes.”

TROY – The Franklin Monroe Jets dropped their opening game of the season 44-42 to the Troy Christian Eagles in a Friday night non-conference match-up.

“I thought we gave our best effort,” said FM coach Troy Myers. “Our kids played their tails off. Our effort and our energy was fantastic.”

Franklin Monroe took an early 7-0 first quarter lead and held a 12-6 advantage after one period of play.

Troy battle back to knot the score at 18-18 with 3:17 on the second quarter clock and would grab a 22-20 lead with 1:41 showing before the teams would head to the break with the score tied at 22-22.

The Jets defense held the Eagles to three third period points while putting 10 points on the board to take a 32-25 lead to the final period of play.

The fourth quarter went to Troy Christian as the Eagles would outscore the Jets 19-10 to pull out the win but not before Connor

Crist nailed a three pointer with 0:03 on the clock to make it a two point game.

“I was out of time outs – we hit a three and there’s three seconds left and it’s over,” noted Myers. “I can live with the result tonight.”

“We have a whole group of new kids and a group of young kids,” added Myers.

“I give our kids credit. We got down about eight and found a way to continue to grind and grit it out.”

Ethan Conley led Franklin Monroe and all scorers with a game high 21 points.

and outreach in the community. This year’s theme is “Be their witness.�

The inspiration for this year’s theme stems from the 2009 drama “Taking Chance,â€? which was based on the experiences of U.S. Marine Lt. Colonel Michael Strobl, who escorted the body of a fallen Marine, PFC Chance Phelps back to his hometown in Wyoming from the Iraq War. “I was deeply impacted by this story and found it difďŹ cult at times to fathom the burden this young man carried in his task. Lt. Col. Strobl volunteered to be a witness for PFC Phelps, and

as the movie so eloquently states, he is now responsible in no small part for PFC Phelps’s legacy,â€? said Karen Worcester, executive director, Wreaths Across America. “Through the Wreaths Across America program, we are ensuring that the lives of our men and women in uniform are remembered, not their deaths. It is our responsibility as Americans, to be their witness and to share their stories of service and sacriďŹ ce with the next generation.â€?

Fort GreeneVille Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution and the Greenville Union Cemetery would

like to invite everyone to the Wreaths Across America event. This is the ďŹ rst year that the cemetery is having this honorable event and planning for many years to come.

The local ceremony will begin at noon at the Greenville Union Cemetery mausoleum and Soldiers section.

Local Veterans will be representing their branches of service: Chris Rehmert-Army, Charles Shields-Marine, Elaine Harter-Air Force, Kevin Shuttleworth-Coast Guard, Dean Delk-Navy, Stephen Eldred-Merchant Marines, along with Starranne Wise, Army, playing

taps.

More information can be found at https://www. facebook.com/fortgreenevilledar/.

In 2017, more than 1.5 million veteran wreaths were placed on headstones at 1,422 participating cemeteries around the country in honor of the service and sacriďŹ ces made for our freedoms, with each name said out loud.

National Wreaths Across America Day is a free event and open to all people.

Farm Management School to be offered GREENVILLE – According to AgWeek, “the most recent U.S. Department of Agriculture statistics show that the number of farmers ages 25 to 34 is growing nationwide. That’s the result of strong crop prices from 2007 to 2013, which generated higher farm income and gave young would-be farmers a better chance to support themselves and their families.

Young farmers and ranchers, for their part, say they’re not being handed anything and that they face major financial challenges.

The strong crop prices that encouraged young farmers to get started are gone -corn, which once sold for as

much $8 per bushel, brings about $3.50 per bushel now -- but land prices, which soared during the boom years, haven’t come down.”

OSU Extension will be partnering with Farm Credit Mid-America to hold a Farm Management School this winter to address this need from the agriculture community. The series is for all those in farming or agriculture businesses interested in finances, business plans and how to make their operation successful.

The dates are Jan. 3, 10, 17, and Feb. 7 and will cover Farm Mission and Business Plans, Record Keeping and Balance Sheets, Bud-

Three Factors to Consider When Making Charitable Gifts

The holiday season is here, which means gift-giving is probably on your mind. In addition to making gifts to your family and friends, you also may be interested in contributing to charitable organizations. But before you donate ďŹ nancial assets, such as stocks, you will need to consider several factors, including taxes, your portfolio balance and the reputation of the charity. Let’s look at these areas: Taxes – Your donations to qualiďŹ ed charities (those that are considered 501(c)(3) organizations by the Internal Revenue Service) can give you tax deductions – if you itemize deductions on your tax return. However, due to recent tax law changes, the standard deduction for 2018 has almost doubled, to $24,000 for married couples, and to $12,000 for single ďŹ lers. As a result, you may be less likely to itemize deductions, so you could have less incentive, at least for tax reasons, to make charitable gifts.

However, if you give appreciated stocks, you may be allowed a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the gift on the date of the transfer, even if your original cost was only a fraction of today’s value. Plus, you may not be subject to the capital gains tax you might have to pay if you eventually sold the stocks.

Also, depending on your age, you might be able to use your traditional IRA as a charitable-funding vehicle.

Once you turn 70½, you generally must begin taking withdrawals – called required minimum distributions or RMDs – from your traditional IRA. (Roth IRAs are not subject to RMDs during your lifetime.) These RMDs from your traditional IRA are taxable, but you may be able to exclude up to $100,000 of RMDs per

year from your taxable income if you transfer the funds directly to qualiďŹ ed charitable organizations.

In any case, consult with your tax advisor before donating appreciated assets to a charity.

Portfolio balance – When you donate ďŹ nancial assets to a charity, you are also taking them away from your portfolio. This could be an issue, especially if you repeatedly donate the same types of assets. For example, if you’re donating some growth-oriented stocks, will you lower the overall growth potential of your portfolio?

You may want to consult with a ďŹ nancial professional to ensure your charitable gifts will still allow you to maintain a portfolio balance appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance.

Reputation of the charity – You may want to do some homework to make sure you are giving to a reputable charity. Many experts on charitable giving say that a worthwhile charity should spend at least 75 percent of its income on programs, rather than administrative costs. You may be able to ďŹ nd this type of information on a charitable group’s annual report and its website. You can also browse the web for the names of agencies that evaluate charitable groups.

By considering the aspects of charitable giving described above, you can get more satisfaction from your generosity –because you’ll know that your gift not only supports a good cause, but also ďŹ ts well into your overall ďŹ nancial picture.

Browns Backers donate pet food LINDA MOODY

CORRESPONDENT

GREENVILLE – The Union City Browns Backers donated 320 pounds of dog and cat food, items that were donated to them at the recent Cleveland Browns-Cincinnati Bengals game, to the Darke County Humane Society and PAWS in Union City.

Darlene Long, treasurer of the Browns Backers, delivered all but 57 pounds to the Humane Society in Greenville this past week, while the rest went to PAWS in Union City.

This tradition has been going on for quite a few

years, and the Humane Society is appreciative of this gesture.

During the Dawgs (Browns) and Bengals games that are viewed at Danny’s Place in Greenville, those who partake are asked to bring in pet food appropriate to their favorite team. More dog food was collected this year.

Dustin Wills said donations such as these are what help to keep the shelter surviving.

“It’s what we live on,” he said.

Wills, who is in his sixth year as director, said he has helped with the Humane Society’s shelter since 2007.

Fair board will seek estimates on new barns RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – On Wednesday, the Darke County Fair Board officially began the rebuilding process after a fire destroyed the Swine Barn in October. Jason Brewer, of the Barrow Boosters, and Trey Manuel, of C Squared Industrial, presented a contractor bid package that included a preliminary plan to rebuild the Swine Barn and build a new Goat Barn. Plans for a new Dog Barn were not included in this package because the cost is already known.

Brewer explained they would bring in companies interested in bidding on the project to view the bid package and preliminary plan. Manuel would be onhand to answer questions to make sure all parties are bidding on the same information. Brewer stressed the current plan is a “budgetary bid document.”

Manuel will meet with five contractors who have agreed to bid the job on Dec. 11. The budgetary estimates will be back on Jan. 4 and the board would meet to select the top two bidders.

Once the budgetary estimates are in, they will add the cost of the Dog Barn. “Then we have a total and a goal to shoot for,” said Brewer. Brewer shared they would call in Matt Hughes to begin the fundraising campaign.

They currently have a list of approximately 150 names and businesses in

the area to call on, but he doesn’t believe the list is complete.

Brewer addressed the need for the plan when it comes to the fundraising efforts. “This starts us off on the right foot because you can say undeniably you got the best price on the barn,” he said.

Fair board member Doug Martin reiterated, “Nothing is set in stone.

This is strictly a start-up deal to get the money raising started.” Martin made a motion to allow Manuel to hold the bidder’s meeting. Dave Singer seconded the motion.

“Where are you going to get your financing,” asked Jim Zumbrink, fair board member? “If you are going to work this building and have it done by July 29…” Martin responded, “The dates are subject to change.” Zumbrink replied, “I don’t see how we can do it financially. There’s a lot of ifs here.” Brewer added, “I’ve got to know how much money I have to raise. I got to know. I’ve been to several of these meetings, and I apologize, but I’m kind of tired of hearing, ‘hey, go get me money’ and I don’t have anything to sell.

I’m asking you to give me something to sell.”

The motion passed 9-2 with Zumbrink and Dave Niley voting against the proposal.

The board chose Bruns Building & Development to demolish the former Swine Barn at a cost of $36,455 at a non-prevailing wage or $49,455 if prevailing wage is required.

GREENVILLE – Lindsey McGlinch isn’t afraid of trying something new.

The 2005 Greenville High School graduate started a new career when she was hired as a GHS school nurse this past summer, keeps stats for the GHS girls basketball team, and is a member of the Miami Valley Raptors, a co-ed wheelchair basketball team, which is part of the Miami Valley Adaptive Sports organization.

She also participates as a member of the Lincoln Way Special Recreation Association’s wheelchair basketball team, based in Chicago.

McGlinch, 32, has advice for those who may be facing any type of physical limitation.

“Be active. Don’t be afraid to try different things. Don’t think you can’t do it.”

McGlinch, who was injured as the result of a car accident when she was 10 years old, has followed her own advice, earning degrees and certifications, which led to her returning home to work.

Following graduation from high school, McGlinch earned a bachelor’s degree in dietetics from the University of Dayton, then worked as a tutor for Greenville Schools. She returned to school to earn an

associate’s degree in nursing from Kettering College, then worked at Northridge School district as a school nurse.

She was recruited to play wheelchair basketball for the Lady Movin’ Mavs at the University of Texas at Arlington, where she continued her education by earning a bachelor’s degree in nursing. She then returned to Wright State to earn a license in school nursing.

As an RN-BSN, McGlinch worked three years with Mad River Schools before returning to GHS. “I like working with the kids at school,” she said.

“There’s something new every day.”

McGlinch also said when she was hired at Greenville, she thought she might see her dad Steve McGlinch, the high school’s custodian, on a more regular basis.

“But I don’t, unless there’s something to clean up in the clinic,” she added with a laugh.

McGlinch said she became involved with wheelchair basketball about nine years ago, after seeing an exhibition game, which included the Raptors team while she was attending Wright State.

“I asked if I could try out and was told that it wasn’t necessary to try out, just come to practice and see how it goes. I started going to practices,” which are held in the basement gym of Miami Valley Hospital,

Thirty-two entries participated in the inaugural Lighted Tractor Parade in Ansonia. (Clinton Randall photo)

Lindsey McGlinch, 2005 GHS grad and school nurse, is a shooting guard for the Miami Valley Raptors wheelchair basketball team.

she said.

For the past eight years, McGlinch has played as a shooting guard for the team, which in 2016 earned a fifth place in the Top 10 for Division 3.

This year, the Raptors will begin their season play after the first of the year.

The Raptors travel for exhibitions in Ft. Wayne, Ind. and to cities in Michigan and Kentucky, McGlinch said.

Most wheelchair basketball teams are based in larger cities, McGlinch explained. For example, other than Dayton, Ohio has teams in Cincinnati, Columbus and Cleveland.

Members of the Chicago team McGlinch plays for come from Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.

It’s also important to understand, McGlinch said, that not all wheelchair team members are confined to wheelchairs.

“Some have sustained injuries limiting their mobility. They play in a wheelchair, then when the game’s over, they get up and go on.

There’s a gamut of disabilities that qualifies a person to play on a wheelchair team.”

McGlinch doesn’t limit her sports to basketball.

She’s also active in road racing sports – running marathons and 5Ks in the area.

“It’s all for fun,” McGlinch said. “It’s allowed me to travel the country, meet new people and visit cities I wouldn’t have gone to.”

Tractor Parade attracts huge audience LINDA MOODY

CORRESPONDENT

ANSONIA – The first Ansonia Lighted Tractor Parade, hosted by the Ansonia Community Pride group, held last Saturday night has been dubbed a success.

“We had over 40 entries initially, but the rain scared off one family that was supposed to have five entries, and three other floats didn’t show up,” said Erica Wentworth of the Community Pride committee. “So, we ended up with around 32.”

According to her, entries included golf carts, lawn mowers, trucks, large variety of tractors, fork lift, and school bus.

“Our fire, rescue and police also participated,” she said. “The fire truck was the grand finale and brought Santa in.”

She said there were no awards for the event this year, but indicated there is hope that it will be added next year.

“However, I would guess the unofficial crowd favorite was Meadows Towing with the Cousin Eddy-themed entry,” Wentworth said.

The date for next year is Dec. 7, 2019, pending approval by the town council.

The parade, Wentworth said, was an idea given to Community Pride by Erin Horst.

“She had seen similar parades in other towns and, after doing some research, she realized there wasn’t a lighted tractor parade in the entire state of Ohio,” Wentworth indicated.

Wentworth went on, “We would like to thank a lot of people...all of the participants for putting

in the work and creativity to decorate, everyone who came out to watch, The Ansonia First Church of God for letting us use their parking lot, Ansonia Fire Department, Police, and Rescue for always helping us, the school for letting us use their parking lot for trailer parking, and all of the residents and businesses that took time to decorate their homes and businesses along the parade route.”

It was also reported that Ansonia Community Pride will be donating the entry money - $840 - to the Ansonia Methodist Church Food Pantry.

Also featured that day was the arrival of Santa at the American Legion in the morning, and a Holiday Bazaar that afternoon at the same place.

Angie Minnich, who organized the Holiday Bazaar at the American

Legion, said there were 25 vendors there that day.

“It was a good turnout despite the weather,” she said. “Hope for it to be bigger and better next year. The money we collected is being donated to the food pantry to help out for the holidays.”

“I had 183 kids plus parents,” said Betty Burnfield, organizer of the Breakfast with Santa breakfast. “This is my 20th year with Breakfast with Santa. This event has grown. We always have a great turnout.”

She thanked numerous area businesses, organizations and individuals for their assistance.

Burnfield also reported that the Ansonia First Church of God had a Holiday Bazaar and that a couple of businesses held an open house for the holiday event.

phia Spence, a senior at Union City serves as the Region 3 President on the State Officer Team. Reagan Hoggatt, a senior at Union City serves as the Vice-President of Hospitality.

Her hope is to grow women-owned and women-led companies.

After the morning session was finished, the students’ enjoyed lunch at the Circle Center Mall Food Court.

The afternoon session featured mini sessions run by the state of-

ficers. The mini sessions included Written Projects Information, State Leadership Team Information, Role Plays for Series and Team Events Examples, and a Shark Tank Activity. Students were divided into groups and spent 30-minutes at each of the mini sessions. The Muscular Dystrophy Association spoke to the entire group of students on the Pacer’s Court about Indiana DECA’s Community Service Project for DECA Month.

The final session of the day was a panel of Pacer employees who gave information about their job and advice to students about their future. At the end of the Pacer Panel, students were allowed to ask questions.

The Union City DECA Chapter enjoyed dinner at Brother’s Bar and Grill and then attended the Pacer’s game that evening. The Pacer’s took on the Portland Trail Blazers.

Students attending the conference were (first row) Sophia Spence, Reagan Hoggatt, (second row) Lyndsee Mills, Sydney Ralston, Emalee Bocanegra, Jacob Curry, Gavin Teeter, (third row) Josh Crawford, Gabe Addington, Kyle Buckingham, Mason Good, and Hunter Reagan.
