GREENVILLE – “Many of us veterans spent our first adult years in uniform, sometimes in the weirdest places doing unusual things while the rest of the world had control over their lives. Fortunately, most of us returned and then could start our working careers and normal lives.” Bob Sharp, Secretary-Treasurer of Darke County Educational History, sparked a new look at a generation of veterans unappreciated until recent years… the Vietnam veteran. He took to the next level something fellow veteran Terry Clark started in 1983 (or was it 1984… Clark wasn’t sure). At that time, Clark and his wife Julie owned and were working on Bear’s Mill. Recently Sharp created a digital memory of 21 vets who left their homes in Darke County to serve in Vietnam, and did not return. In his list he noted branch of service, rank, age, date killed, hometown and place of burial. He even noted the manner of death, ranging from explosive devices to one non-hostile accidental shooting. Clark, a “tunnel rat” during his service in Vietnam (due to his small physical stature he crawled into tunnels in which the enemy hid… only one emerged alive), saw the dome that had been replaced on the Darke County Courthouse. It was at the County Garage… “I drove by and saw it sitting in the driveway,” he said. “I asked if I could have it.” The county agreed and moved it out to Bear’s Mill on a flatbed truck. They left it on the Mill property just south of the building… after that it was up to Clark to decide what to do with it. “It took me six months to move it across Mill Race,” he said. “It found its place right there (noting its current location)… that’s where it stopped.” He worked the columns under the foundation, cut
them to size and put the pieces together himself. “It seemed the right thing to do,” Clark added. Three other Vietnam vets – Craig Jenkinson, Mike Goode and Chuck Shields – said they wanted to make a Memorial out of the dome. “So we researched the men… their branches, the towns they were from… we dedicated it in 1989.” Clark was pleased to see Sharp’s effort, adding to their own research; also in creating a digital record. “If something were to happen to the Memorial, all that work would have been lost. I’d hate to have to do it over again,” Clark said. Among Sharp’s notes was one comment about his research. He had listed the names by alphabetical order, date of death and age… “It was gut-wrenching,” he said, “because it lists how young these men were (eg) one was 18, two were 19, eight were only 20 years old.” Clark had been about that age when he began his service. He’d left his hometown Fairborn at 16 and finished high school in Thousand Oaks, Calif. He and some friends went to Tijuana, got drunk and picked a fight with some locals. “We woke up in the Tijuana jail,” he said. “They let me go across the border to raise bond for my friends, but then I was arrested again. The judge offered me two choices: Vietnam or jail… “I want to be a soldier,” Clark told him. Bail was still arranged for his friends and Clark, who hasn’t had a drink since, went to Vietnam. “I saw this (the Memorial) as payback for what I had done… I destroyed so much and, subconsciously, saving the Mill and remembering the soldiers gone made me feel better about myself.” He thought about his life, how he returned to Fairborn after the war, learned the construction trade… working on the Mill… “All these things came together, I think, for the end project… the Memorial.”
ANSONIA – Year after year some of Darke County’s kids have been receiving special gifts. These are not the kind of toys you find in the toy aisle of the big chain stores; these toys are made with a great deal of craftsmanship and precision by local woodworkers. For 22 years, Ansonia Lumber’s Toys for Tikes Wooden Toy Contest has put these toys under Christmas trees for kids who are not as fortunate as others. What’s in it for the woodcrafters? Over and over you hear them talk about the joy it gives them to know their toys will be enjoyed. Sure there are a few prizes, but they do very little to compensate these master craftsmen for their expenses. Scott Phillips, of the PBS television show The American Woodshop, has judged the contest nearly every year and explained it is the only contest he judges. Why? “It wouldn’t be Christmas without being here,” said Phillips. Not unlike the previous 21 years, this year’s competition was tough to judge. He paced back and forth, picking up one toy after another and sharing some of the history behind it. He even carried the rubber band gun around for
This year’s winners of the Ansonia Lumber Co.’s Toys for Tikes Wooden Toy Contest are (front row) John Burnett, Neal Pleiman, Harold Niswonger, Kenneth Pence, (back row) Rod Hampshire, Scott Phillips, judge (holding the wagon), Harold Alley and Gerald Brehm.

a while marveling at its simplicity and the quality workmanship that went into making it. He also shot off a few rounds of rubber bands at a target. He explained all the toys were worthy of a prize, but there were only so many prizes to give. Unable to determine the first and second place toys, Phillips brought up a young girl and boy to pick the toys they would most be drawn to if they were opening these presents on Christmas morning. The girl picked a challenging marble game board while the young boy headed straight for the handcrafted Hummer. The
Hummer, built by Harry Niswonger earned the top prize and Kenneth Pence created the second place winning marble game board. John Burnett took third place with his multi level play station. Neal Pleiman’s wagon took fourth place and Harold Alley’s kid-sized table and chairs earned fifth place. While those were the only prizes scheduled to be given, Phillips couldn’t stop. He reached into his pocket and purchased a $100 and $50 Ansonia Lumber Gift Cards to hand out to the sixth and seventh place winners. Gerald Brehm
took home sixth place for the truck he created and Rod Hampshire earned seventh place with his homemade set of Lincoln Logs. According to Mitch McCabe, organizer of the event, there were 19 woodworkers entered in this year’s contest with 36 entries. The toys were given to Darke County’s Toys for Tikes, which is overseen by Darke-Shelby Big Brothers Big Sisters. Jenny Bruns, executive director, said, “These are pretty well built toys. Any kid is going to love them.” They are expecting to serve 85-90 kids this year.
“We Are the Majority” works to make things better BOB ROBINSON

GREENVILLE – “Marijuana is not addictive.” False. One in 10 adults will become addicted; also one in six teens. “Marijuana doesn’t hurt anyone.” False. It reduces I.Q. by eight points by the time a user reaches age 30. Users are four times as likely to have a heart attack. “Marijuana is safe because it is natural.” False. Poison Ivy is natural… do you want to roll around in it? These are just a few of the questions representatives of “We Are the Majority” asked members and guests at a Kiwanis of Greenville meeting Dec. 9. It is part of an education program they have put together for young people… both peers and younger students. Those three questions are likely the ones most misunderstood about the ‘facts’ of marijuana. “We Are the Majority” is a group of students whose purpose is to help others make the right decisions and let the community know the Majority of kids are involved in
good activities… they don’t drink and they don’t do drugs. “Kayli here gets an A on an exam… another student gets pulled out of the same class for smoking pot at lunch. Who do we hear about? The kid doing something he shouldn’t (be doing) will be all over the school in a matter of hours.” Kelly Harrison, Prevention Officer for the Recovery & Wellness Centers of Midwest Ohio, told the group the vast majority of kids do good, positive things all the time. We just hear about the ones who don’t.” Harrison said Recovery & Wellness works with people struggling with their addictions. In her role, she is tasked to work with kids before there is a problem. She introduced three of her “Majority” members, a group she started as part of her efforts: seniors Kayli Duncan and Alex Lance, and freshman Mariah Nicholas. She told Kiwanians that her kids also work with younger students… tutoring, teaching life skills, art and more. “Many of the younger kids are ‘at risk’ and need the guidance of an older stu-

dent,” Harrison said, adding they will often take that advice more quickly from an older student than an adult. One of the activities the “Majority” kids did with younger students was a summer camp. Kayli and Alex both thought it was a great experience. “I grew up as a leader,” Kayli said. Alex said the camp was probably his favorite but he also enjoyed working with little kids. “I helped one student with math… it was cool to see that ‘click’ in her face when she understood,” he
said. Mariah said she just started last year, but enjoyed most meeting the kids and “knowing how they look up to us.” Harrison said the drug problem is one they worry about. “We no longer worry about people going to Dayton for drugs… now we worry about people from Dayton coming here to sell drugs.” “We Are the Majority” sees the problem, she added. “They see what the need is and work to make it better.”

Police address assault, domestic violence and drug charges On November 29 police responded to Wayne HealthCare regarding a female, Ashley Hess, who had been assaulted.

at a residence in Yorkshire. When they arrived back at her residence in Greenville he allegedly pushed her against the bathroom cabinet and began kicking her repeatedly in the arm and leg. She said her arm was hurting at that time but she did not get treatment until Nov. 29. She

told police they did not live together but that he had items at her house. She was advised to ask an ofďŹ cer to stand by while he got his items and that she should get a Civil Protection Order (CPO) against him. She did not want to ďŹ le charges at that time. Later that day she arrived at the police station advising her arm was broken and she would have to have surgery. She would like to ďŹ le charges. She told police she also got the CPO against him. The report will be forwarded to the prosecutor’s ofďŹ ce for felonious assault charges. DISORDERLY CONDUCT On December 3 police were dispatched to 122 Montgomery St. regarding the defendant, Douglas Allsup, allegedly yelling obscenities and pounding on the complainant’s front door. When police arrived Allsup was on the sidewalk yelling obscenities and “things that did not make any sense.â€? He had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on him. The complainant and a witness said Allsup had been pounding on the front door and yelling things like “m----r f----râ€? and “b----h.â€? While trying to speak to Allsup he started making accusations at the ofďŹ cers and, at one point reportedly said to shoot him. Allsup had already had several warnings about being disorderly, including one 45 minutes earlier. Allsup was placed under arrest for disorderly conduct. Allsup then started yelling he was being falsely arrested. As he was being placed in the back of the cruiser he accused the ofďŹ cer of throwing him in and hurting his back. The ofďŹ cer said it wasn’t true but since the defendant was complaining of pain he was taken to Wayne HealthCare. Fifteen minutes later he was medically cleared. When Allsup was taken to the Darke County jail he told the staff the arresting ofďŹ cers had thrown him to the ground plus other things that did not make any sense; also not true. He was issued a misdemeanor citation for disorderly conduct. DRUGS On December 6 police observed a vehicle turn off Walnut Street onto East Main Street without signaling the turn. A trafďŹ c stop was conducted, at which time police observed the front seat passenger to be
Trema Boling who had an active arrest warrant for possession of a drug abuse instrument. The driver, Scott Dahlstrom, told police they had stopped at the Towne House Motel to purchase a pop and were heading home. Boling kept interjecting comments leading the ofďŹ cer to believe she didn’t want Dahlstrom to speak for himself. The ofďŹ cer asked for a K9 unit to indicate if there was probable cause to look in the vehicle. The unit arrived and the dog responded positively around the rear passenger area of the vehicle. During the search police located a black bag underneath the front passenger seat. Boling said there was a syringe in it (there was), that it wasn’t hers but that she’d used it the day before for the injection of drugs. Also, beside the syringe was a wet q-tip. The syringe had a liquid-like substance in it. Dahlstrom was given a warning for turn signal violation and released. It was found Boling also had a felony warrant for probation violation on the original charge of heroin possession. She was arrested on both warrants and taken to the Darke County jail. She was also issued a misdemeanor citation for possession of a drug abuse instrument. On December 5 police were responded to a call about suspicious males in an area of a closed business. Several male juveniles were at that location; they were warned for trespass and released. Afterwards the complainant noted the possibility of alcohol in the vehicle, so it was found and stopped at a different location and the two juveniles asked if they had alcohol in the vehicle. They said no, but gave permission for the ofďŹ cer to search. A black and red drawstring bag was located on the oor of the passenger side. The passenger juvenile was asked if it was his. He stated several times he didn’t know who it belonged to, then admitted it was his. He refused permission to search it. The driver was asked again if he gave permission to search the vehicle, which included its contents. He said yes. In the bag were four cans of an alcoholic beverage, along with a multi colored glass smoking device with burnt black residue. The juvenile was cited for drug para-
phernalia and underage possession of alcohol. The driver was released; the other juvenile was transported to his residence and released to his mother. DUI On December 6 police observed the defendant (not named in the report) in a vehicle in which the registration had expired on July 7. A trafďŹ c stop was conducted. The ofďŹ cer noticed a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the vehicle. There was an open case of beer in the back seat of the vehicle, along with an open beer can in the center console.
The defendant’s speech was slurred and his eyes were bloodshot. He denied any consumption at ďŹ rst, then admitted to one beer; a little later to two beers, and ďŹ nally to more than a couple beers. The defendant acknowledged the beer was his. The ofďŹ cer also found the defendant was 20 years old. He did poorly on the ďŹ eld sobriety test, placed under arrest for OVI and was transported to the police station. His breathalyzer showed .119. He was placed under ALS and cited for OVI and expired registration.

ness testimony, on Feb. 8 at approximately 9:30 p.m., several motorists stopped to offer assistance after noticing a vehicle partially on the roadway and on its top. They found the crash victim, Richard L. Stephenson, 49, of Union City, Ohio, attempting to crawl out the rear window of the inverted car. It was later learned that Stephenson had struck a tree on the 2400 block of State Route 571 West.. While helping get Stephenson out of the car, witnesses testified that a Jeep, driven by the defendant, 50-year-old Chad E. Bradburn, approached the scene from the eastbound lane. He failed to avoid the scene – striking and killing Stephenson and one of the people assisting him, 47-year-old Linda Shafer of Greenville. Witnesses testified to hearing someone yell that the Jeep was approaching quickly, prompting those who could to run for safety. Shafer and Stephenson were unable to flee the scene in time. All of the witnesses were consistent in stating that it did not appear that Bradburn slowed down before the impact. All of which were clearly emotional as they relived the incident during direct and cross examination Tuesday. “It was like she (Shafer) was caught like a deer in headlights,” testified one of the witnesses. “It all happened so fast!” “I heard someone yell truck and I grabbed Linda’s (Shafer) arm before I got out of the way,” another stated. Bradburn was indicted in May on six counts, including two felony counts of Aggravated Vehicular Homicide, and one count of Tampering with Evidence. He also faces misdemeanor charges of Driving Under the Influence, Operating a Motor Vehicle with a Prohibited Concentration of Alcohol and a minor misdemeanor traffic violation for Assured Clear Distance. Bradburn admitted to consuming three 16 ounce beers earlier in the evening, but told deputies his last drink was nearly two hours prior to the crash. Evidence in the case showed that Bradburn had a .079 blood alcohol content (BAC) level, which is just below the legal limit to operate a motor vehicle. Darke County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Jesse Green had planned
for the county coroner Dr. Timothy Kathman to give expert testimony as to what Bradburn’s BAC level would have been during the time of the crash. Following an objection by the defense, the judge did not allow testimony by Dr. Kathman due to the state failing to file an expert report prior to trial. Court is scheduled to
reconvene for phase two of the bench trial after state witness, Deputy Josh Brinley, is able to testify. He is currently unavailable due to personal matters. The state hopes that Brinley’s testimony from accident reconstruction, in addition to nine different crash simulation scenarios by the Darke County Sheriff’s Depart-
ment, will show beyond a reasonable doubt that Bradburn had ample time to respond to the first crash scene, therefore avoiding a collision that took two lives. Bradburn faces over 20 years in prison if convicted as charged. He remains free on an Own Recognizance (OR) bond.

ON YOUR MIND
READERS WRITE Big Donors, Special Interest and Lobbyists The battles we are fighting today are no less important than the battles fought in the Civil War! Yes, they are important to win. These words are from Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. “From these honored dead we take increased devotion to the cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain: that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom: And that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.” Big donors, special interest groups, lobbyists and others with ulterior motives: This country has survived because citizens fought against those who did not have the best intentions for this country. Big donors you want to help, then do these things. Half of you provide homes for our homeless vets. Also, help other vets. Upgrade their homes for easier access. The other of you big donors – make sure every veteran has enough food. The first half start to work on the homeless across this country. The second half help make sure and provide food for those homeless. Special interest groups: What is it you want? Money? Why won’t you do honest work for it? Prestige? Don’t you yet understand you have to earn that by showing you care more about doing everything you can to make things better. These things have to be an extremely important part of your life. Honesty, truthfulness, integrity, dignity, credibility, trustworthiness, compassion, kindness, decency and what I consider the two most important virtues mankind has to have – loyalty and respect. They cannot and must not be superficial. Something you put on and take off like your clothes. To me that is exactly what every democrat does. Democrats: Can you and will you give us “We the people” a believable explanation why these things remain to be a major problem for our economy. The huge debt, the IRS scandal, the unanswered questions about Benghazi, the AP James Rosen fiasco, Obamacare right or wrong for the country, untraceable guns to Mexico, State Dept. miscues and miscalculations, NSA illegally recording and storing phone numbers and other info, the VA mishandling and mistreatment of our veterans, immigration controversy and same sex controversy. The enormous waste throughout the entire government. Why do government employees need to have a union? The EPA overstepping its authority. Regulations – why so many? Causing divisiveness. Wide spread corruption. Avoiding following the Constitution. Coercion. People being promoted who should have been fired and many more things. Answer these questions. What are the real reasons health care costs are so high? Regulations? Are you trapped between the improbable and the impossible without any way to determine which is harder to overcome? Are you intoxicated with your self-importance; you have lost all perspective of the realty of the real truth? Do you continue to humiliate yourself by trying to impress others with how smart you are and then regurgitate the most ridiculous answers ever. And as soon as it slides off your tongue your brain heads for cover because it cannot believe you uttered those words. Dale W. Curtis, Greenville ~~~~~~~~~~ Shelter Needs Help Dear Residents of Darke County, Community Action Partnership of Greater Dayton Area – Darke County has been the owner/operator of the Darke County Emergency Homeless Shelter since 1988. The shelter is located on the second floor of a two-story house within walking distance of downtown Greenville. A communal kitchen and 1-1/2 baths are available for sharing. There are three bedrooms, providing room for eight persons, including a baby bed, which brings us to our generating this letter to you. The Emergency Homeless Shelter is currently in need of new furnishings, appliances and flooring and is reaching out to our partners in the community for assistance to achieve this project. Specifically needed items include an electric range, refrigerator, large capacity heavy duty clothes washer, appliances, new beds, dressers, baby crib and wooden rocking chair. We are looking to replace the worn carpeting with laminate and place vinyl in the kitchen and bath areas. The Darke County Emergency Homeless Shelter also accepts any monetary donations towards the purchase of these items. We have set a goal of $6500.00 to help offset the estimated costs and so far, we have raised approximately 25% of our goal. During 2014, 81 adults and 24 children were housed in the shelter, totaling 1541 nights, and were provided 3082 meals. From January to December 1st of 2015, 87 individuals, 30 of which were children, have been sheltered totaling 1645 nights and were provided 3290 meals. Community Action Partnership Darke County staff assists clients in finding appropriate services necessary to move them into permanent shelter. Funding is provided by the local United Way, Homeless Crisis Response Grant and through private donations. Should you have further questions regarding the Darke County Emergency Homeless Shelter, please do not hesitate to call Carol Littman, Office Manager, Community Action Partnership, Darke County, 937-5488143, ext. 206.

Beagle leads in reducing tax burden COLUMBUS – State Senators Bill Beagle (RTipp City) and Bill Coley (RLiberty Township) recently announced legislation aimed at enhancing local economic development and community revitalization efforts by eliminating the steep tax burdens associated with business expansion and construction projects. “Our proposal provides a new way to increase private development by lowering the cost burden associated with business expansion and job creation initiatives,” said Beagle. Senate Bill 235, also known as the Site-Readiness for Community Prosperity Bill, allows property owners to make investments without penalty in order to increase site attractiveness and encourage business expansions at sites ready for commercial or industrial uses. “Existing policies discourage new development and business expansion,” said Coley. “Our plan will create an incentive for property owners to enhance land for future business development.

We Were Conservative To the editor, I am a taxpayer and former Darke County Commissioner for two terms. I really appreciate that we have Carol Ginn working for us. She is a very good auditor and works hard keeping track of the public money. When I was in office, the Commissioners never pretended to be conservative with the County’s money – we were. The article showed that County debt is now nearly $7.5 million. I also read an advertisement where the Commissioners are trying to auction off land that the County taxpayers have owned for over 150 years. Where will this money be spent after the land is gone?

Trinity hosts Blue Christmas Service VERSAILLES – Is this Christmas season a time of mixed emotion for you? It is a time to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. However, not everyone is up and cheery to celebrate the Christmas holidays! Dealing with the death of a loved one, facing life after divorce or separation, coping with the loss of a job or friendship, living with health issues, and a number of other situations can make the Christmas season “blue.” For this reason, Trinity Lutheran Church, 204 E. Wood St., Versailles will be having a Blue Christmas Worship Service on Dec.
17, 7 p.m. This service is unique in that it seeks to give space and time for loss in the midst of celebration. In this service, quiet songs and contemplative readings offer support and strength for the journey through the holiday season. Their hope is that worshipers will hear the word of God at this special service and will move from sadness to comfort and hope. This service is open to the entire public. They hope you will feel comfort in joining them for this special worship as they share in one another’s sorrows as well as the joy of the birth of the Christ child.

Check Out These End-of-Year Investment Tips Who knows where the time goes? Although 2015 is almost in the books, you can still make some year-end investment and ďŹ nancial moves that may help you get off to a good start in 2016. Here are a few suggestions: • Boost your 401(k) contributions. Ask your employer if you still have time to add more to your 401(k) before the year ends. If not, at least increase your contributions in 2016, especially if your salary goes up. • Consider “tax-lossâ€? selling. We experienced considerable turbulence in the ďŹ nancial markets this past year, so you may own some investments that have lost value. Generally speaking, it’s a good idea to hold these investments if they still meet your needs, but if you do decide to sell them, you can use the loss to offset capital gains taxes on investments you’ve sold that have appreciated. If the loss from the sale was greater than your combined long- and short-term capital gains, you can deduct up to $3,000 against other income. And if your losses exceed your capital gains by more than $3,000, you can carry the remaining losses forward to future tax years. • Review your asset allocation. Make sure your asset allocation – that is, your investment mix – is still appropriate for your time horizon and goals. You might consider being a bit more aggressive if you’re not meeting your ďŹ nancial targets, or more conservative if you’re getting closer to retirement. If you want greater diversiďŹ cation, you might think about adding an asset class that
tends to react to market conditions differently from your existing investments. Diversifying your portfolio may help reduce the impact of volatility; however, diversiďŹ cation, by itself, can’t guarantee a proďŹ t or protect against loss. If you do need to adjust, or “rebalance,â€? you can do so fairly easily in tax-deferred accounts, such as your IRA or 401(k) – but for those investments held in a taxable account, you should talk to your tax advisor on how to manage the tax consequences of rebalancing. • Evaluate your insurance situation. This past year, did you undergo any changes in your personal life, such as marriage, divorce or the addition of a new child? If so, review your life and disability insurance to make sure they are sufďŹ cient for your needs, and list the proper beneďŹ ciaries on all insurance policies. • Start an emergency fund. If you don’t already have one, start an emergency fund before the year is out. Ideally, you’d like to have between six and 12 months’ worth of living expenses in such a fund; without it, you might be forced to dip into your long-term investments to pay for unexpected costs, such as a new furnace, a major car repair or a big medical bill. For this fund, you’re less interested in return than in preservation of principal, so put your money in a low-risk, liquid account. Making these moves can help you close out 2015 on a positive note – and ring in the new year with greater conďŹ dence in your ďŹ nancial future.

Lady Indians stun Richmond in overtime thriller at home BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com
UNION CITY, Ind. – The (5-2) Union City girls basketball team was tested Saturday night as they hosted Richmond High School. The Lady Indians came out playing aggressively from the jump‌ causing turnovers and disrupting the Lady Red Devils offensive game plan. UC held Richmond to 19 total points in the ďŹ rst half, taking a 26-19 lead at the break. “I told the girls we had to come out and keep playing hard,â€? said UC head coach Sarah Hines. “We have to play four good quarters, especially against a tough team like Richmond.â€? The third quarter didn’t go so well for the Lady Indians‌ being outscored 11 to 4 and allowing Richmond to tie it at 30 a piece COUPON

heading into the ďŹ nal quarter. Richmond took a 33-32 lead with 4:51 to go in the game, as both teams battled to have a shot at the end to win it. After calling timeout following a defensive rebound, the Lady Indians had one chance to even up the 45-42 point deďŹ cit. As time started to run out in regulation, sophomore point guard Justiss Cantu passed the ball to junior Kora Kerns – who drained the game tying 3-pointer with just 6.1 ticks left in the game. Richmond was unable to get a shot off, sending the 45-45 tie game into overtime. Junior forward Baylee Hartman got the assist inside several times in the overtime period to junior center Courtney Wise as the Lady Indians started

adding to an overtime lead. Cantu, Kerns and senior Madeline Adams kept the pressure on Richmond, causing key turnovers and holding Richmond to just four OT points to help seal the upset victory by a ďŹ nal score of 58-49. UC needed and got a lot of support from their bench to help get the win, since starting junior guard Kelsey Zimmers was still out with an ankle injury. The junior varsity team also was victorious over Richmond by a score of 46-22. “After giving up the third quarter and the lead, fortunately we found a
way to get back on track and play our game,â€? Coach Hines added. “We had so much help from so many girls tonight. I really couldn’t be more proud of the way they fought back and ďŹ nished strong‌ it was a great win!â€? Scoring for UC were – Courtney Wise (17), Justiss Cantu (16), Baylee Hartman (13), Kora Kerns (6), Madeline Adams (4) and Ellie Kerns (2). The Lady Indians advanced to (7-2) after beating Centerville 50-32 Wednesday night to stay unbeaten in the Tri-Eastern Conference.

GHS Cheer earns GWOC honors BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE-Six Greenville High School (GHS) Varsity cheerleaders earned Greater Western Ohio Conference (GWOC) Honors following the 2015 GWOC Cheerleading Championship held at James S. Trent Arena in Kettering on Saturday. Earning ďŹ rst team GWOC North All Division were seniors Tessa Schatz and Serena Stastny, and Junior Taylor Ward. Sophomore Hope Byrum and Junior Tiona Thompson were named second team GWOC North All Division with Junior Madison Meade earning Special Mention. “These are some very talented girls,â€? said Stacie
Ward, Coach and Greenville Cheerleading Coordinator. “All are dedicated, hard workers and deserving of these honors. They represent GHS well, and I’m so proud of them.� The Varsity competition squad, coached by Whitney Yingst and Ward, placed second in the GWOC North Varsity division on Saturday being edged out by Vandalia Butler by a slim margin of just 2.5 points. “Of course we came to win today,� stated Yingst following the competition. “But we couldn’t ask for more from our girls. They were amazing, and everyone gave their best performance. I was most touched by the outpouring of support today from many people in the community I didn’t expect to see here. It means a lot to
the girls.â€? Squad members include Schatz, Stastny, Ward, Byrum, Thompson, Meade, Bailey Bennett, Sydney Crews, Haleigh Dunevant and Taira Ruble. Remaining GWOC North squad placements were: third place Troy, fourth place Sidney, ďŹ fth place Piqua and sixth place Trotwood-Madison. “This has been a year of positive changes for our cheer program, and not everyone takes well to change, but in the end the beneďŹ ts have far outweighed the struggles to get here,â€? said Ward. “The most rewarding part of today’s competition is leaving here knowing parents and girls are uniďŹ ed and happy, and pleased with our progress. We can’t thank our sponsors (The

GREENVILLE – The Green Wave junior high wrestling team played host to Piqua, Sidney and Troy in a Wednesday night GWOC double dual meet in the Greenville high school gym. Greenville defeated the Piqua Indians in the ďŹ rst round after it would require advancing to the ďŹ fth criteria to name Greenville the eventual winner in the 4545 meet. “We got a good victory over Piqua in the ďŹ rst dual meet,â€? said Greenville Junior High Coach Carl Butts. The Sidney Yellow Jackets handily defeated the Troy Trojans in the opposite ďŹ rst round matchup earning the right to face the Greenville junior high team to decide the ďŹ rst place team.

Arcanum girls get CCC win over Trail BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com
ARCANUM – The Arcanum Lady Trojans outscored the National Trail Lady Trail Blazers in each of the four quarters in a 56-39 Cross County Conference (CCC) Thursday night (Dec. 10) win. “We came out… we played hard,” said Arcanum Coach Matt Grote. “We wanted to get a quick start. We played pretty well.” A Rebecca Deao stickback got the Lady Trojans on the board at 6:45 in the first to give the local girls a lead that would hold until the final buzzer of the night. Deao would up Arca-
num’s lead to 5-0 drilling a three-pointer from the top of the key followed with a Stevie Johnting steal and full-court layup pushing the Trojans lead to 7-0; bringing a timeout from the Trail bench. Trail rattled in a trey at 2:49 in the opening period for their first points of the night making a 9-3 score. Abby Ross made it a 12-3 Arcanum lead with and old fashioned three-point play. McKenzie Sharritts nailed a triple with 0:09 showing only to have Trail throw up a three from long distance with 0:00 showing for a 17-11 first quarter score. Arcanum would get five players on the second quarter board led by Alex-
is Abner’s six points and a three each from Alexis Unger and Elle Siculan giving the Trojans a 33-24 lead at the break. “They get after it on defense,” said Grote. “We’ve been working on it. We stepped up rebounding tonight.” The Lady Trojans put their stingy defense on display the second half limiting the Lady Blazers to 15 second half points for a fi-
nal 53-37 Arcanum win. “Big team win,” Grote stated. “Stevie (Johnting) had a good game. Becca Deao really stepped up… started making a lot of shots from the post. She got after it. A lot more aggressive tonight.” Arcanum scoring: Deao 15, Johnting 13, Abner 8, Ross 6, Sharritts 5, Unger 4, Siculan 3, Madison O’Daniel 2

Wave 8th grade gets GWOC North win over Piqua BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – The Wave eighth grade boys handily defeated the Piqua Indians in the Greenville junior high gym Monday night. “It’s a good group of kids,” said Greenville eight grade coach Steve Lantz. “Couldn’t ask for more out of these kids.” Greenville built on an early first quarter 10-4 lead getting two baskets each from Tyler Beyke and Marcus Wood and an Andrew Cates field goal. The Greenville boys would build its lead to eight points using four Wood points and a basket each from Beyke and William Weaver to gain an 18-10 edge at the break. The Wave eighth graders continued to run the fast-break pushing its lead to double digits by the end of the third period taking a 30-20 advantage over the Indians to the final period of play. Two Beyke and Cates
field goals, a basket each from Weaver and Alec Fletcher accounted for the Wave’s 12 point third period scoring. The Greenville eighth graders stretched their lead to 21 points putting 16 fourth quarter points on the board before an Indians three-pointer with 0:00 showing circled the rim and slid through the net for a final 46-28 Green Wave home win. Green Wave eighth grade Coach Steve Lantz believes the talented team has room for improvement on their early season play. “It’s always great to beat Piqua but we’re going to play a lot better,” said Lantz. “I didn’t think we played that well. We just didn’t shoot that well… we just didn’t play that well.” Tyler Beyke led Greenville and all scorers with a game high 14 points. Marcus Wood also hit double figures for the Wave with 12 points on the night.

8th grade Lady Wave get win over Wayne; 7th grade falls BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – The 8th grade Greenville Lady Wave basketball team got their second win of the young season Tuesday night. The 7th and 8th squads welcomed Wayne to the Greenville Junior High School Tuesday night in a GWOC showdown with the Lady Warriors. The 7th grade team struggled against Wayne, while the 8th graders owned the court – winning by a final score of 3915. The 8th grade team advanced to (2-1) on the season and are currently (0-1) in the GWOC North – with an overtime loss at Piqua a week ago. The team was led by Mikayla Miller with 11 points; Haleigh Mayo and Morgan Gilbert with six a piece in the Lady Wave victory over Wayne. “It knew it was going to be a physical game and I’m proud of how the girls handled it,” said 8th grade coach Dave Westfall.”There were some
times they started to lose focus, due to all the physical contacts, but we called timeout and I told them to just let the officials handle it.” “We definitely need to work on our free throw shooting… we were 6/30 today and that is just not gonna cut it against good teams,” Westfall noted. “But I was really proud of our defense!” Next up… the teams face three straight GWOC North games. First, to Vandalia on Thursday. “They beat us last season before Christmas break by 12, then we beat them after Christmas by eight points. They will be ready for us… and it’s gonna be at their place and its not easy to win on the road in this conference,” Westfall added. Then they will travel to league-leading Troy on Saturday, before returning home to host the Lady Rams of Trotwood on Tuesday, Dec. 15. Like us on Facebook for sports scores and more all season long.

Shrine Club gives $51,000 donation GREENVILE – The Darke County Shrine Club continues shine as being one of the top contributors to the Antioch Shrine. This year, thanks to local individuals, businesses, civic organizations and club members, the group was able to present a $51,000 check to the Antioch Shrine. These funds will help children with orthopedic problems, burns or spinal injuries get the care they need at no cost. In addition to the donation of funds from the community the club also collects aluminum cans throughout the year. David Orrison, president of the Darke County Shrine Club, said, “Thank you Darke County for all your help with our contribution to the hospitals.” Shriner’s Hospitals offer a wide variety of specialty care for children in one of their 22 hospitals throughout the country. Treatment for burn victims is the specialty in three of their hospitals, including the Cincinnati Burns Hospital. They also treat children with cleft lip, cleft palate, orthopedic disorders, crippling injuries and spinal cord injury. Several Darke County children receive assistance at
these hospitals. The hospitals are also pioneers in medical research and medical education in all four specialty areas. The nearest hospital serving the area for orthopedic care is the Shrine Orthopedic Hospital in Lexington, Ky. Their health care system maintains relationships with more than 60 medical teaching and research facilities and fosters an environment committed to providing high quality medical care and innovative research. The care offered by the hospitals is freely given and over a million children have been treated for various conditions regardless of their ability to pay. Shriner’s Hospitals for Children is a fully qualified 501(c)3 charitable organization under IRS regulations. Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent provided by the law. If you would like to make a donation, please send it to The Darke County Shrine Club, PO Box 623, Greenville. Make checks payable to the Shrine Hospital Fund. If you know a child who needs help, they can be reached at the same address.
GREENVILLE – “I’ve been to hell and back,” said 95-year-old Joe Bredeson repeatedly, sometimes in tears, as he recalled his role as a paratrooper during World War II. Bredeson told a packed room, overflowing to the adjoining room in Greenville Public Library Dec. 5, about his experiences during the war. He said he witnessed men and women being starved to death, children being killed for no reason… his own friends being killed in front of him. He told the audience that people who have never been to war don’t understand the true experiences soldiers face. “A soldier doesn’t have to think about fear,” he said, “until they’re getting shot at, and watching other soldiers die around him.” As a member of the 101st Airborne he was part of the Normandy Invasion on D-Day, June 6, 1944. Out of the 143 men in his unit who jumped he was one of only 10 to survive. “I was trained to kill a man,” Bredeson said. “I’m not proud of that.” He noted at one point they had flame throwers but said he refused to kill a man with fire. Later, as he was showing photos in a slide show to about 60 attendees, he said “Look at these guys. They’re 15, 16. I’m trained to take a life or he’ll take mine. You don’t have a choice.” He looked

at the audience. “I want you to think about this!” Bredeson was involved in the liberation of many of Hitler’s more than 100 camps. “The people were starved, innocent children killed… thousands were starved to death.” He stopped on a photo of some survivors. “That’s what starvation looks like,” he said. “You can’t believe it… you gotta see it.” He told the audience what it was like after the war, noting 500-600 people every day moving from East Berlin to West Berlin until the Russians put up the Wall. He talked about his visit to Arlington Cemetery. “I counted 83 of my comrades there,” he said. “At the World War II

Memorial I met up with eight or 10 of my comrades… some in wheel chairs… some being helped… We cried our eyes out. It’s not nice seeing a grown man cry,” he said. Then, “Thank you.” He received a standing ovation. One person said imagining what this man has been through is impossible. “I felt sad, happy and proud, all in one.” Bredeson enlisted in 1940. He wanted to fly the Spitfire but found out he couldn’t due to a problem with his equilibrium. They didn’t let him go home, however. “I was in a camp (training) for three years,” he said. He entered the war as a paratrooper. While in Europe he
met his wife of 62 years, Denise, in Paris. They returned to the U.S. in 1947. “I was so thankful when we got back to the states,” he said. He spent 45 years with Swift Fertilizer and came to Greenville in 1961 to manage the plant (now Conagra) on Ohio Street. Denise passed away in 2007.

Children welcome Santa in Arcanum ARCANUM – Santa Claus arrived in Arcanum on Dec. 5 to meet with local children and learn what they want for Christmas. He was honored with a parade. Since there was no snow, the Arcanum Fire Department gave him a ride on one of their fire engines. The Arcanum High School Band put parade watchers in the holiday mood by playing Christmas music in the parade. Santa Claus will visit with local children each
Saturday leading up to Christmas from 2-4 p.m. in his house at the corner of George and Main Streets. He is also expected to make several surprise visits downtown. Also, be sure to join the Arcanum community for Winter Nights in Ivester. The park will be lighted on Saturdays prior to Christmas from 6-9 p.m. where motorists can drive-thru and view the spectacular light show.

ARCANUM – The Darke County Association of REALTORS (DCAR) is making Christmas brighter for a family in the community and veterans at the Veterans Administration (VA) Hospital in Dayton. On Dec. 8, Shaun Hayes, of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, Doug Harman, of First Choice Realty, and Laura VanHoose, of the DCAR, took a short to Arcanum to give a donation to the Daugherty family. Jason Daugherty was diagnosed with Brain Arteriovenous Malformations (AVM), which ultimately caused three brain aneurysms. Neurological surgery was required to
fix the aneurysms. He is now undergoing therapy and hopes to soon undergo radiation treatment. According to Daugherty, the treatment is expected to dissolve the clump of veins and arteries near the brain and lessen the chance for aneurysms to reoccur. Since the diagnosis in August, Daugherty has been unable to return to work for the Village of Arcanum in the Street Department. Daugherty and his wife, Christine, thanked the organization for their support. Doug Harman, owner of First Choice Realty, also presented an addition check to the family from his business and staff. Hayes and his Berkshire Hathaway Home
The Darke County Association of REALTORS recently presented a donation to the Daugherty family. Shown are Shaun Hayes, Jason and Christine Daugherty, Doug Harman and Laura VanHoose of DCAR.
Services staff also led the charge for DCAR in acquiring approximately $2,500 worth of clothing for veterans at the VA. Hayes pointed out they were able to collect t-shirts, socks, underwear, sweatshirts and other clothing items.

lotte area on Jan. 30, 2015,” he explained in a message. “But that does not stop me from driving 470 miles back to Ohio to donate blood. Coming home gives me an opportunity to visit family for the weekend and to give blood to help those in need. This is my fourth trip to Ohio and this trip will be so memorable and special being my 200th donation and 25 gallons. It has been a long time coming but finally here. I am so excited!” Jack was born and raised in Versailles and his wife Karen is from nearby North Star. He was 15 when they met at a Versailles High School basketball game. They married at 18 and will celebrate their 40th anniversary in May. Jack’s career includes nine years at Midmark in Versailles, and he owned his own company, Measurement Technologies in Dayton for seven years. He’s been with MSC Industrial Supply Corp. for 15 years, including the last 11 as a sales trainer. He traveled around the country to MSC sites, but when the company opened a new headquarters with a training facility in North Carolina, he was asked to move. Karen had retired from teaching fourth grade at Greenville City Schools and their three children were grown, so they decided to sell their Versailles home and go. Everything about their lives changed – except Jack’s donation schedule. “I was so close to 25 gallons, I wanted to make every donation back home,” Jack said. “This was my home for all these years. I don’t know anybody there, I know everybody here. Giving back to your community is what it’s all about - helping people.” Jack stayed on course but with a new routine. Every eight weeks he and Karen travel to their son Matthew’s home in Columbus to spend the weekend. He donates in Dayton and they visit their

daughter Michelle in Versailles. Their daughter Melanie lives in the Atlanta area. He reflected on his first blood donation. “Our daughter needed open heart surgery at seven days old,” he recalled.
“They put a band on her artery, and years later it had to come off. I started donating in 1979 and never stopped. It’s taken me 36 years to get to 25 gallons.” Learn more at www.GivingBlood. org.

the Crimson Cup Community in 2011. Aaron and Betsy Ward learned how to operate a successful coffee house through Crimson Cup’s 7 Steps to Success coffee franchise alternative system. Based on Seven Steps to Success: A Common Sense Guide to Succeed in Specialty Coffee by Crimson Cup Founder and President Greg Ubert, the program has launched hundreds of independent coffee houses in 29 states. The locally owned shop serves a full menu of awardwinning coffee, cappuccinos, lattes, café mochas and other beverages from Crimson Cup Coffee & Tea, Roast Magazine’s 2016 Macro Roaster of the Year. The Macro Roaster of the Year Award is presented annually to North America’s top roaster of at least 100,000 pounds of coffee. Roast’s editorial board selects winners that produce coffees of superior quality, exemplify a dedication to sustainability, promote employee and community education, and demonstrate a strong commitment to the coffee industry. Previous winners have included elite national roasters such as Counter Culture Coffee, Stumptown Coffee Roasters and Intelligentsia Coffee and Tea. When the grounds settled in this year’s blind cupping, the top place went to Crimson Cup’s Wayfarer Blend, Ethiopian Jimma Agaro and Ethiopian Natural Sidamo Ardi. For a limited time, these award-winning coffees are available at the Crimson Cup Coffee Houses in
Clintonville and Upper Arlington as well as on the crimsoncup.com website. Roast Publisher Connie Blomquist said that Crimson Cup’s focus on education was a major contributor to its top placement. Judges also considered the roaster’s work in cultivating relationships with coffee growers around the world, commitment to supporting local charities and innovation in cold-brew
coffee. Ubert said the award confirmed the company’s emphasis on mutually beneficial relationships with coffee growers, independent coffee houses and other partners. “Our motto is ‘Coffee + Community,’ and I’m thrilled to accept this award on behalf of everyone in the Crimson Cup community – including Aaron and Betsy Ward,” he said.

VAM takes guests back to the 1920s
Garst expecting another record year for visitors
VERSAILLES – If you don’t know the password how can you get into our Speak Easy? The Versailles Area Museum invites you to a fun and historic night as they relive a 1928 Road House somewhere in northeastern Darke County. Prohibition was alive and well, yet if you knew the “right people” you could still partake! From the jazz and country music of the period, to a delicious “blue plate” special like mom use to make, the evening is sure to entertain and help bring back the excitement, fun and even danger of the Roaring Twenties!
GREENVILLE – “This was a really good family turnout… lots of kids.” Garst Museum Executive Director Clay Johnson was pleased with the attendance at the museum’s annual Christmas Open House Dec. 6. Noting the attendance at the event is always great, he felt it will still be a boost from the previous year. “Really nice weather… I think we’ll see at least 200 people here today,” he said. One of the children noted Johnson’s presence and interaction with the visitors and approached him. Kaden Harrison, a Woodland Heights student, asked the Director if he ran the museum. “Well, sorta,” Johnson responded. “Do you know everything about Annie Oakley?” the child continued. Johnson grinned and said the museum does a wonderful job telling Annie’s story. Later, Johnson said he knows a little about Annie but “lots of other people know more… like Marilyn, there.” He nodded toward Marilyn Robbins, one of the volunteers registering visitors as they came in. Annie was, as always, the focus of the attention of most visitors. There was
On Feb. 6, in the Father Jackle Room of the Versailles Knights of Columbus Hall they will recreate this bygone era. You are encouraged to dress in the style and join them for a fun night. Appetizers will be served at 6:15 p.m. and dinner at 7 p.m. Tickets are $50 each for non-members and $45 for members. A cash bar will be available to sample the adult beverages of the period. Get your friends together and join them for a roaring good time. Tickets are on sale now by contacting the museum at 526-4222. Seating is limited; so don’t wait.

interest in all areas of the museum, from the Early Farming Tools just off the Family Room and the Lowell Thomas Room to the Military History area and Crossroads to Destiny. Most of the traffic, however, was in the two rooms dedicated to Darke County’s famous daughter. The Open House was a free event, according to a volunteer the only one the museum offers each year, and always attracts a good crowd. Those in attendance were treated to piano music by Rebecca Burnett, and performances of Christmas carols by Melody Line, Marilyn Light, director. Light refreshments were provided. Visitors also noted Christmas trees decorated by various volunteer organizations throughout the museum. Johnson said some of the plans for 2016 included a mini-display for Annie (similar to the one for Douglas Dickey) in the Family Room. The museum will also be at the 2016 Great Darke County Fair. Johnson anticipates 2015 will be another strong year as the museum will likely exceed the 20,000 visitor mark. Visitors have come from 42 states, Washington, D.C. and six countries.
