Midmark announces plans for former Inn at Versailles in 2022 Hotel Versailles, Silas with restaurant, 1819 Room for events Staff report

VERSAILLES — Midmark Corp., a leading clinical environmental design company providing medical, dental and veterinary solutions that enable a better experience at the point of care, today announced its rebrand of the former Inn at Versailles with plans for a new sophisticated boutique hotel, restaurant and event space at the corner of Center and Main Streets in downtown Versailles. The new hotel will be named Hotel Versailles (pronounced Ver-sales), the restaurant will be called Silas and a new event space named 1819 Room. The new facilities are scheduled to open in the spring 2022 to support Midmark’s business and regional patrons. Referenced as “historic revival” by Midmark’s design team, the new facilities will capture elements of the historic architecture that make up downtown Versailles, while also bringing the site into the future. Together with Dave Kerr Architects and Kimberly O. Designs, the team chose to bring forward the best elements of the hotel’s past and introduce some new offerings for the next generation of experience seekers. The former inn was an integral part of the Midmark customer experience. Hotel Versailles will play that part in the future with amenities its customers expect from a clinical environmental design company. “We are extremely excited to move into the next phase of construction with these new, modern facilities,” stated Monique McGlinch, vice president, customer engagement and corporate agile center of excellence. “While the hotel will accommodate our Midmark customers, we believe it will also invigorate the economic vitality for the community for centuries to come.” The boutique hotel will offer 30 rooms, including six suites, enhanced amenities, a fitness room, and new courtyard and patio. As Darke County has a strong musical arts culture, there are plans for frequent live entertainment in the bar and lounge area of the restaurant which will be the centerpiece of the hotel. As the inn was a historical landmark to the village, Midmark wanted its brand choices to pay homage to the history of Versailles. The new restaurant, named Silas, was derived from Silas Atchison, the founder of Versailles (formerly Jacksonville) just over 200 years ago. The pioneer also became one of the first inn keepers in the area, which presented the perfect choice for the name of the new restaurant. Chef Josh Hill, the chef for Silas, has been with the

Community Dinner, founded by Barbara and Hershel Fee in 1981, has been a true inspiration and labor of love, even from its earliest beginnings. “For 38 years I’ve known nothing on Christmas Day other than the Community Christmas Dinner,” said their son, Eric Fee. “From the first day, Mom starts planning, buying gifts, buying food when it’s on sale, door prizes and donations — Mom did it all. Then her and my father would go in early every Christmas and start cooking for hundreds of people. This was her dream, to help people.” Barbara Fee, who recently passed away in November, always had a heart and a smile for those in the community who were in need of companionship and fellowship around the holidays. Most especially, Barbara would share her faith and encourage others to believe that with God, all things are possible, and one is never alone. “She would make stickers every year for the ‘to go’ boxes, and they’d have scripture verses on them, like ‘John 3:16’ and many many more, that would remind people to turn to

flurry of backlash from Democrats, as well as supporters of a full or partial repeal of the law. The $1 billion nuclear bailout, passed in July 2019, will add a fee to every electricity bill in the state starting Jan. 1 and direct over $150 million a year, through 2026, to two nuclear plants near Cleveland and Toledo. Majority Republicans and Democrats in the House have argued over the best approach to reversing the law since the chamber’s former speaker, Larry Householder, and four of his associates were accused of shepherding energy company money for personal and political use as part of an effort to pass the legislation, then kill any attempt to repeal it at the polls. Two men have since pleaded guilty and await sentencing, which has not

been set. Householder and two others have pleaded not guilty. In the days since criminal charges were filed over the energy bill, Republican Gov. Mike DeWine had voiced reservations about repealing it but later reversed course, saying the bill was tainted and needed to be repealed. On Wednesday, DeWine said he would sign a bill that would delay or repeal the nuclear subsidies if it were to come to his desk, The Toledo Blade reported. “If the Legislature presents me with this bill, and the bill has in it what I think it is, then I certainly would sign it,” the Republican governor said.

Death sentence rejected for teen who killed Kent student COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio Supreme Court on Thursday rejected the death sentence for a man who fatally shot a Kent State University student during a robbery, citing the killer’s youth at the time and his history of substance abuse and mental health issues. Death row inmate Damantae Graham was sentenced to die for killing 18-year-old Nick Massa in February 2016 at an

off-campus apartment. Graham, then 19, and two 17-year-old codefendants went to the apartment to steal drugs and money from the apartment’s residents, according to court records. A fourth codefendant stayed outside in a vehicle. The state Supreme Court has not always given weight to an offender’s youth but has changed that position in other recent rulings, Jus-

tors calling for a death sentence. The court returned Graham’s case to Portage County court for resentencing on the aggravated murder conviction. Portage County Prosecutor Victor Vigluicci called the ruling disappointing but noted Graham was also sentenced to decades in prison on burglary, robbery and kidnapping charges and is unlikely ever to get out.

tice Patrick Fischer said in the court’s opinion. “We consider Graham’s youth—he turned 19 the month before he committed the offenses with three teenagers—to be a factor that carries significant weight,” Fischer said. The court also said Graham’s troubled home life, his mental health issues and his substance abuse—including an addiction to tranquilizers—all outweighed fac-

LEWISBURG – The Arcanum Trojans earned a tough 48-39 road victory after trailing early to the Tri-County North Panthers in Cross County Conference action. “We have to get better and we will,” said Arcanum coach, Roger McEldowney. “We’re growing every game, so we look to just keep grinding and get better every time out.” Down by as many as 8 points in the early goings, the Trojans trailed 12-7 after one quarter of play with the home team taking advantage of two 3-pointers and three 2 point baskets. “Anytime you go on the road it’s difficult,” McEldowney stated. “We got off to a slow start again. We couldn’t put the ball in the basket but we finally got a few to drop.” Arcanum battled back in second quarter play to knot the score at 20-20 with 4:12 showing behind the a balanced Trojans scoring attack led by junior, Jake Goubeaux’s 10 points, five Chad Pitzer points including a triple and 2-2 at the line, a Logan Todd trey and a basket each from Garrett Garno and Nick Sharritts sending the teams to the halftime break with Arcanum holding a 29-24 lead. A stingy Arcanum third quarter defense held the Panther to 5 points while the home team was holding the Trojans to a 9 point single digit third sending the teams to the final period of play with Arcanum up 38-29. “I thought we played a really good defensive second half,” said McEldowney. “We really wanted to try and contest everything that they shot and just limit them to one shot and I thought we did that pretty well for the most part.” The Trojans made it a

Forced to foul, the Panther sent Cameron Burke to the line to hit back-to-back free throws followed with Ian Baker next at the charity stripe to go 2-2 and close out scoring on the night to seal the 9 point conference road win. “Garno played really hard defensively, dove all over the floor,” Coach McEldowny said. “That is the kind of effort we need from everyone. I thought we did but he was everywhere tonight and gave us a shot in the arm coming off the bench.” “Jake (Goubeaux) did a great job of handling the ball,” added McEldowney. “He played every minute and really took care of it and made some buckets for us. Nick (Sharritts) gave us a boost inside, got some boards and scored some buckets. Chad (Pitzer) hit some big threes in the second half so overall team win. Logan (Todd), Ian (Baker) and (Cameron) Burke, everybody played well so great defensive effort.” Eight of Arcanum’s fourth quarter 10 points came at the free throw line, the Panthers were 2-6 at the fourth quarter line in its 10 point fourth quarter. “They are trying to buy into being more See ARCANUM | 7A

ARCANUM – The Arcanum Lady Trojans defeated the visiting Bethel Lady Bees 62-45 in Cross County Conference play. “It was kind of a game of runs,” said Arcanum coach, Abbey Moore. “We were able to withstand them and get the win.” The Lady Trojans took advantage of three Hailey Unger first quarter 3-pointers and two free throws to take a 17-11 lead after one period of play.

Browns and Giants meet in prime time with playoffs on line EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Cleveland Browns are coming to the Meadowlands to face the New York Giants with one thing in mind: the playoffs. That’s it. Kevin Stefanski’s team isn’t looking to rebound from an excruciating loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night. Winning one for injured star receiver and former Giant Odell Beckham Jr. would be nice. There are more important things. The goal Sunday night for the Browns (9-4) in their second straight prime-time appearance is to beat the Giants (5-8) and move another step closer to ending the NFL’s longest playoff drought. Cleveland has not been to the postseason since 2002. The finish line is in sight with three games left in the regular season. The Giants are even more desperate in a bid for their first playoff berth since 2016. They had their four-game winning streak snapped by Arizona last weekend and fell a game behind first-place Washington (6-7) in the NFC East. “Every single game is the most important one,” said Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield, who is playing his best football since coming into the league in 2018. “Obviously, like I have said, we have a big-picture mindset, but the singular focus is just so vital right now to get into the postseason

playoff race. We know we have to take care of business this week, and we are going to have that singular laser focus.” The Browns, who last had a 10-win season in 2007, have scored more than 40 points in back-toback games for the first time since 1968. On the negative side, the team has allowed 82 points in the past two games. The Giants will go into the game without James Bradberry, their best cornerback. He had a close contact with an individual who tested positive, and was placed on the COVID19 list on Thursday. New York also comes into the game struggling on offense, with quarterback and coordinator questions. New York has scored 24 points in the last two games and 43 in the last three. Starting quarterback Daniel Jones returned from a hamstring injury last week after missing a win over Seattle. He had to leave late with two injuries, the hamstring and an ankle problem. If he cannot play, Colt McCoy will get his second start in three games. The issue was compounded when offensive coordinator Jason Garrett tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday. Tight ends coach Freddie Kitchens, who was fired as Browns head coach after a tough season, will call the plays for New York against his former team. “I think we always make

an emphasis on thriving in adversity,” Giants coach Joe Judge said. “And as I said a few weeks ago, it’s adaptive, guys. So, look, something happens. We just keep moving on. We have plans in place. We have a front. We have a process that we stick to for each game. And you know, what’s important right now is that we get all the players prepared to play Sunday night.”

Philly pride Judge and Stefanski share NFL rookie coaching status and Philadelphia roots. Both were born there, and they were briefly high school teammates before Judge transferred to a rival school. “A great person,” Stefanski said of Judge, who is just a few months older.

Giants O-line The unit is coming off a dreadful performance. Jones and McCoy were sacked eight times, with

A Dolly Jolly Christmas Dolly Parton has enjoyed an enormously successful musical career spanning over 50 years, delighting fans with an ever-expanding array of hit songs; but at this moment in time, Dolly’s notable talents and justifiable fame are almost eclipsed by the news that she is now a hero helping save the world from the coronavirus! This past spring, Dolly donated one-million dollars to Vanderbilt University Medical Center which worked with drugmaker Moderna to develop a soon-to-be released vaccine; her donation helped fund the critical early stages of the research. In typical Dolly fashion, the glamorous, self-effacing star said that she was excited to hear that her contribution provided a “little seed money that will hopefully grow into something great and help heal the world.” Dolly Parton epitomizes the artist who successfully does what she was born to do — her music spans generations and genres, but almost always tells a story to which listeners can relate. The first Dolly song I remember is “Coat of Many Colors,” which told of a little girl proudly wearing to school a coat made from rags by the girl’s mother who shared the Biblical

Her current projects, some of which were created to make up for losses related to the pandemic, include producing and acting in the Netflix series “Heartstrings,” overseeing a restaging in London of 9 to 5: The Musical, releasing an autobiographical book Songteller, creating a new album of Christmas songs, writing and starring in a Netflix Christmas film, and releasing a line of baking products for Williams Sonoma (guitar-shaped cookies and festive oven mitts)! Dolly Parton is a shining example of artists who give of themselves to communicate with others in a reciprocal exchange that can provide comfort and joy; now her generosity may also help save the world from a raging pandemic, providing yet another reason for celebrating the many gifts shared by this multi-talented national treasure!

Toys and joys for Christmas Groups join forces to provide gifts By Carol Marsh

DARKE COUNTY — While many household budgets are tighter than ever this year due to the hardships imposed by COVID-19, Santa’s elves at the North Pole are definitely working overtime these days, packing Santa’s magical sleigh with toys and good wishes, while getting ready for the big Christmas Eve journey.

This year, however, they are getting a much-needed “helping hand” from some great Darke County organizations. Miami Valley Community Action Partnership (CAP), the Road Hogs, and the Radiant Lighthouse have teamed up to bring many families in need a brighter holiday by collecting and distributing thousands of toys at this year. Here, in Darke County, through the “Toys for Tikes” distribution, Darke County children in need, along with their parents,

will have the opportunity to come and pick toys and other items, which will then be wrapped and ready in time for placement under the tree. Families who wish to participate in the toy distribution this Sunday, Dec. 20, must fill out a registration form through the Miami Valley Community Action Partnership’s Darke County office (CAP). Registration forms are located in a file container on the wall in the foyer at the CAP office, located at 1469 Sweitzer Avenue, in Greenville. These forms should be placed in the drop-box.

Darke County Christmas drive needs your help

Staff report

DARKE COUNTY — The 2020 Darke County Community Christmas Drive is slightly behind last year’s pace, so the help of generous supporters will be needed down the stretch. At this point, there is a total of $19,745.89 from the giving through buckets, business donations and private donations. Contributions can still be made at the various locations throughout the county on Friday and Saturday, Dec. 18 and 19, and then on Monday and Tuesday, Dec. 21 and 22. Donations can also be made to the “Darke County Community Christmas Drive” by mailing them to the Greenville National Bank, P.O. Box 190, Greenville, Ohio 45331, or by dropping off a donation to Treasurer Mike Boyer at the main branch of the Greenville National Bank. Those who prefer to give online may donate by going to gofundme.com and then click on “Search” to find the “Darke County Community Christmas Drive.” They would then click on “Donate Now” and give through Paypal or a credit card. All donations of any amount given, in any way, are greatly appreciated. Among the organizations supported by the Christmas Drive is the Castine Area Food Bank (CAFB), an emergency food bank that helps those in need three times a year. CAFB serves those living in the Arcanum, Franklin Monroe and Tri Village school districts as well as Eldorado, Ft. Jefferson, Sherwood Forrest and West Manchester. From Jan. to Sept. 2020 the CAFB received 78 calls for assistance. For Thanksgiving approximately 80 families were helped with their Thanksgiving meal and for Christmas approximately 100 families will be assisted. Because they have been closed to the public for much of 2020, the statistics for the Salvation Army from Community Action Partnership are down. Despite that, they have assisted 40 families, including 29 with gasoline vouchers, totaling $705, seven families with prescriptions totaling $368 and four families with miscellaneous items totaling $190 for items such as utilities, ID’s, etc. Up to this point in 2020, the Ansonia Community Food Pantry has served 651 families in northern Darke County, which includes many new families showing an increasing need for food. They have also provided $4,500 in vouchers to be used for items not available from the pantry. As people struggle to recover from the pandemic, food pantry worker Lisa Gasper encourages contributors to give freely and generously to the Christmas Drive in this season of hope, love and peace. Previous Christmas Drive funds helped Community Unity in being able to assist 1,049 people from 423 separate homes with almost $40,000 worth of assistance in 2019. Over $22,500 was spent to help with utilities and over $9,000 went towards motel assistance almost exclusively for homelessness. See DRIVE | 3B

Pantry remained busy with 2,763 volunteer hours, not counting hours put in with 185 home deliveries and tax counseling. They served 176 new clients that were part of the 2,031 total households that have over 6,000 individuals. They received over 55,500 lbs. of generous food donations.

Affected by the pandemic, the Arcanum Food Bank has had a lot of ups and downs this year. With generous food donations from the Arcanum and FranklinMonroe schools, the pantry is stocked with plenty of food at this point. This is fortunate as many needing groceries, including several

new people, are now coming back to the pantry. All of these organizations count heavily on the funding that comes from the Darke County Community Christmas Drive. Any questions about the Christmas Drive can be directed to Co-Chairman Frank Marchal at 937-569-1439.

Plaintiff,

GREG TOWSEY, et al Defendant(s)

PUBLIC NOTICE OF FORECLOSURE

JONATHAN HEIN, JUDGE Public notice is hereby given that on December 14, 2020, the Treasurer of Darke County, Ohio, filed a Complaint in the Common Pleas Court of Darke County, Ohio, for the foreclosure of liens for delinquent taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest against real property described in that Complaint. The object of the action is to obtain a judgment foreclosing the tax liens and ordering the sale of such real estate for the satisfaction of tax liens.

NEW MADISON — The world has been a bit weird in 2020, but one thing remains — the goodness of people. I remember last winter when our patrons were worried about the safety of our staff as the COVID-19 virus began to seep into Ohio. When we reopened in late spring, patrons sent us gifts of hand sanitizer and snacks to keep us going. We never had a group visit us, whether it was book club members or visitors meeting with their insurance brokers, that they didn’t stop to thank us for our time. Then there are those faithful followers on Facebook & Instagram who took the time to notice our efforts and like our posts. While these might seem like simple acts, they have supported us through the mayhem, through the uncertainty, and through the anxiety. We all appreciate these messages, gifts, and words of thanks. We miss our patrons when they cannot be here. We miss the sound of giggling pre-schoolers. We miss the buzz of afterschool with tweens and teens. We miss those whom we have lost over the past few months. Because of the rise in cases during this third wave of the pandemic, we will not celebrate with an open house for the holidays this year, but we will strive to be here to serve the needs of our patrons and citizens in ways that keep both them and our staff safe. As always, if you have concerns or questions, call 937-996-1741 and ask for Brenda or email me at brenda@mynmpl.org. New Madison Public Library (NMPL) is closed to the public at this time, but we are staffed Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Call to make an appointment for curbside pickup or for curbside copies and faxes. The Bookdrop is open 24/7 for any returns. Also, remember that we have thousands of digital titles available. For the latest updates, please follow us on Facebook and Instagram. All of us at NMPL wish you a Happy Christmas and a joyful 2021.

VERSAILLES — The Versailles Poultry Days Board of Directors has announced the event’s theme for 2021: “A Village of Champions, Honoring Those Who Make Us Great!” This theme is inspired by the many everyday “champions” who make up our community — first responders, healthcare workers, laborers and business owners, to name a few. Our area has farmers to feed us, teachers to educate the young, and military to protect our

families. What would our village be without utility workers, postal employees, coaches and religious leaders? Look around and see our talented performing artists, musicians, athletes, and FFA members who contribute to our community’s success. Together, we all do our part to make Versailles great and it is time to celebrate our champions. Who would you consider a champion? We would like to see participation from a wide variety of champions in the Grand Parade. So, think of your everyday champions

121st Audubon Christmas Bird Count Staff report

GREENVILLE — From Dec. 14 through January 5 each year tens of thousands of volunteers throughout the Americas brave snow, wind, or rain, and take part in the effort. Audubon and other organizations use data collected in this long-running wildlife census to assess the health of bird populations, and to help guide conservation action. Prior to the turn of the 20th century, hunters engaged in a holiday tradition known as the Christmas “Side Hunt.” They would choose sides and go afield with their guns — whoever brought in the biggest pile of feathered (and furred) quarry won. Conservation was in its beginning stages in that era, and many observers and scientists were becoming concerned about declining bird popu-

lations. Beginning on Christmas Day 1900, ornithologist Frank M. Chapman, an early officer in the Audubon Society, proposed a new holiday tradition — a “Christmas Bird Census” that would count birds during the holidays rather than hunt them. So began the Christmas Bird Count. Thanks to the inspiration of Chapman and the enthusiasm of 27 dedicated birders, 25 Christmas Bird Counts were held that day across North America. One was in Darke County for the first two years. No more Christmas Bird counts were held in Darke County until the Nature Trails Club took up the Greenville circle in the 1960s. A small group of birding enthusiasts including the Darke County Birders and the Darke Countians for Wildlife have kept it going.

The Greenville Circle count will be held on Dec. 19, 2020. Greenville is the center of a 15-mile radius circle. The circle is divided into pie-like pieces. A lot of the count is done by car with some walking. We begin by meeting to get assignments between 7:30 and 8 a.m. Less experienced birders will be matched with more experienced birders. COVID-19 restrictions will be followed. We will meet around noon to turn in lists and determine where to go in the afternoon, if needed. We would love to have new people help. If you are in the circle, you can count birds at your home feeders and send your list to the email given. For meeting place and other information, contact Regina Schieltz by phone at 937-623-0487 or email reginasch54@gmail.com

(Because no one should be expected to know the third verse of “The Holly and the Ivy.”) Press the pianist or guitarist into service if your family’s musical. If you’re not, consider kazoos and try not to laugh. • Gather the children for a video call and read “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” the poem you might recognize from its first line: “Twas the Night Before Christmas.” It was published

in the early 1800s and is where many traditions about Santa in American culture began. • If you’re local, caravan to a Christmas light display. Stay in your own vehicles, but start a video call and interact as you drive through together. Grandma and Grandpa, even if they’re not local and can’t see the displays, might just love seeing the expressions of wonder on their grandchildren’s faces. • And, of course: Ship or drop off Christmas gifts ahead of time, and open them on a video call so everyone can see the reactions.

Some COVID-19 vaccines have arrived With the arrival of the Pfizer vaccine for COVID19, questions are being asked: “Should I take it or not? Should I wait for the Moderna vaccine? Should I wait to see how those who’ve taken it in the U.K. are faring? Should I pay attention to all the messages on Facebook?

A recent Pew study found that 86 percent of Americans believe “there is some kind of lesson or set of lessons for mankind to learn from the coronavirus outbreak, and about a third (35 percent) say these lessons were sent by God.” What have you learned, and what informs those lessons? In conclusion, the question about taking the vaccine can only be answered by you. I choose to roll up my sleeve for the vaccine and return for my follow-up injection as scheduled.

promised health care in exchange for participating in a study conducted by the U.S. Public Health Service and the CDC. The subjects were given placebos, not medicine. Even after penicillin became known as a cure for syphilis in 1947, the “study” continued as subjects suffered a variety of ailments from blindness to death and passed the disease on to sexual partners and at times to the offspring of those relationships. The “study” was finally halted and participants and some of those impacted were awarded $10 million ($51.8 million in dollar value in 2019). Following this debacle, Congress established a host of regulations/standards for government-sponsored projects and their participants. My most recent familiarity with abuse of African Americans in health-care situations came in 2010 when I read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. African American Mrs. Lacks, 31, was suffering from cervical

cancer and was admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1951, one of the few hospitals to admit African Americans. She died, but her cells were passed on to researcher Dr. George Geys who discovered that unlike sample cells with which he had been working which died quickly, Lacks’ cells doubled every 20 to 24 hours. Web site hopkinsmedicine.org/henriettalacks/ indicates that Lacks’ cells, now called HeLa cells, “are used to study the effects of toxins, drugs, hormones, and viruses on the growth of cancer cells without experimenting on humans.” The questions arise from this incident, however, questions without definitive answers about privacy, consent, and profit. Without statistical data, we know that some in the African American population suffer from a lack of credible health care while the affluent often get quality health care. You might believe that those who don’t earn quality care don’t deserve it. My sense
