THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF THE GREAT DARKE COUNTY FAIR!

Nearly 300 wreaths laid in Greenville-Union Cemetery RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Debbie Nisonger, of Ft. GreeneVille Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), welcomed approximately 30 guests for the inaugural Greenville-Union Cemetery Wreaths Across America on Saturday. Wreaths Across America is designed to remember all veterans that have passed away by placing a wreath on their grave. In its first year being sponsored by the local DAR organization, Greenville-Union Cemetery was able to place nearly 300 wreaths on the graves. Nisonger was encouraged, but

is hoping to do more next year because there are approximately 2,000 veterans buried at the cemetery.

Chris Nehring, of Ft. GreeneVille DAR, said, “Right now, across the country there are more than 1,100 memorial sites like this one, we are gathered as one nation to remember, honor and teach. We are all proud to be Americans that live in a free society made up of many people from many walks of life. The freedoms we enjoy today have not come without a price.

Lying here before us and at cemeteries throughout this nation are men and women who gave their life so that we can live in freedom without fear.”

Nehring explained America has always stood up for freedom across the globe. She praised and thanked those that are currently serving and said they are the best trained and best equipped.

Vietnam veteran Richard Grow, Wreaths Across America Honor Fleet, explained the process for getting the wreaths from the WAA headquarters in Maine to Greenville. He said he first learned about the project two years ago.

When they left Columbia Falls, Maine, all 68 trucks were escorted over 700 miles by Maine State Troopers to Arlington, Va. “I’m looking forward to going back one more time,” said

Grow. Drivers have to serve at least one year before they are considered to deliver the wreaths to Arlington Cemetery. He has put delivering the wreaths to Arlington on his bucket list.

Ben Thaeler, district director for Congressman Warren Davidson’s office, said, “Among countless others, we wanted to take this time to remember one particular solider who lost his life in duty to our country.”

Thaeler shared the story of Donald Byrum and how he was killed in Vietnam. “It was on his first patrol that he was ambushed and along with 12 other people in his unit perished.”

First Sgt. Phillip C. Rehmert, US Army – retired,

Wreaths were laid at the veterans’ memorial at Greenville-Union Cemetery to honor all branches of military as well as Prisoners of War and those Missing in Action.

Corporal Charles E. Shields, US Marine Corp, Builder 1st Class Petty Officer Doyle Delk, Jr., US Navy, Sgt. Elaine Harter, US Air Force, Capt. Kenneth J. Denman, US Navy – retired, Gunners Mate Chief Petty Offi-

cer Stephen M. Eldred, US Navy – retired, and Gold Star Mother Sandra King laid wreaths at the veterans memorial in honor of each of the branches of service and for those that are POWs and MIA.

A special Christmas wish comes true SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville High School junior Chloe Mitchell’s Christmas wish has come true.

During her lunch hour on Tuesday, Chloe, who has a brother stationed at Ft. Irwin in California, thought she was being interviewed by the interactive media class for their Veteran’s series.

She became emotional and teary-eyed, when asked why she believed it’s important to support veterans and active duty service members during the holidays and if there was one thing she could tell her brother, what would that be?

After a couple minutes, Chloe regained her composure and started to answer the question, looking up

just in time to see her big brother, U.S. Army PV2 Derrick Smith stroll into the high school’s cafeteria, followed by their mother, Erin Mitchell.

“I thought it wasn’t real, that it was a dream,” Chloe said of her first thoughts when she saw her brother walking toward her.

Mom Erin Mitchell, who had to sneak out of the house overnight Monday to pick up her son from Dayton International Airport, said it’s been difficult keeping the secret from her daughter, adding that Chloe thought her Christmas gift was going to be a trip to visit him in California or maybe another trip – maybe a car.

“She had a million guesses,” Erin said of her daughter’s curiosity about the holidays. “But this isn’t one of them.”

County to seek grant for additional airport improvements SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – County commissioners on Wednesday OK’d a motion permitting Susan Laux, grant and funding specialist with Mote & Associates to begin the process of applying for a grant from the Federal Aviation Association (FAA).

The monies would be used for a couple more improvements at the Darke County Airport.

The proposed project includes improvements to taxiways and a new north entrance.

The project is estimated to cost $235,000, Laux said.

The improvements would assist in moving ve-

hicle parking out of the RPZ – runway protection zone to meet FAA requirements, Laux said.

The grant, she explained, is for $211,500 and is “entitlement money the county receives if they choose to use it.”

If the county does not apply for the FAA grant, the money would be awarded by the FAA to another entity, she said.

Laux told commissioners Wednesday the project would be put out for bid by late spring 2019, if the grant money is awarded.

The county would be responsible for 5 percent of the project cost, or $11,750.

An additional 5 percent of the project cost comes from a grant from the Ohio Department of Transportation’s Office of Aviation.

Aided by GHS Navy Junior ROTC Instructor Chief Stephen Eldred, the surprise was almost three months in the making and is PV2 Smith’s first visit home following his graduation from GHS this past summer and leaving for boot camp.

“You can’t be any more proud as a teacher than to have one of your students do something for your country,” Chief Eldred said of his former student’s service.

The family moved to Greenville last school year from Virginia, where PV2 Smith also was enrolled in the ROTC program.

He plans on making the Army a career and is eager to take courses to learn all he can about leadership and his chosen specialty as a

demolitionist.

Chloe said she’s considering becoming an OBGYN and has begun looking at colleges with The Ohio State University at the top of the list.

But for now, spending the next 10 days together to celebrate family and Christmas is all that’s on the Mitchell/ Smith family’s things-todo list. Since he left a few months ago, the siblings had to make do with texting as their main form of communication.

After the big lunchtime reveal – which drew a round of applause from students gathered for lunch - Chloe decided she was going to take the rest of the day off from classes.

The threesome had some

more surprises planned. Erin’s parents, Joe and Kathy Mitchell, and Derrick and Chloe’s younger brother, Caleb, a seventh-grader at Greenville Middle School had no idea their grandson and brother was home for Christmas.

“I’ve missed all my family,” PV2 Smith said. “I’m happy I get to see them.”

And to Chief Eldred for his help putting the surprise together, PV2 Smith said: “Thank you for everything you’ve done. I appreciate it very much.”

Greenville teen displays true spirit of giving CLINTON RANDALL

CORRESPONDENT crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – When Greenville High School student Brooke Ferguson learned of a local infant born premature with several health complications, she wanted to reach out and help in any way possible.

“As I learned of the baby’s birth and needs I immediately felt my heart telling me to help and I truly wanted to help. That is just who I am and it feels good to help others,” Ferguson said.

Little Althea was born in August at 25 weeks – weighing 1lb 13oz and 13inches long. She was born with normal micro preemie complications, such as the respiratory disease Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) and the premature eye disease Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)…to name a few.

The moment Brooke learned of this she stepped in on her own – wanting to

help in every way possible to help fulfill their needs and prepare for Althea to come home. She started spending all her free time scouring the rummage sites via Facebook where she found everything from clothes, diapers, bassinet, car seat, stroller and many other items. As she shared what she was doing, the 15-year-old GHS sophomore had many generous people who either donated items or offered her a very good deal. Setting all of her teenage wants aside, Brooke purchased everything with her own money.

Currently, Althea remains in the NICU on Vapotherm, a type of ventilation, and receives feedings via a feeding tube. She currently weighs in at 10lb 13oz and the family hopes she can come home soon.

The family is facing several financial hardships due to all the traveling to and from the hospital and the unexpected medical costs.

With Christmas around the corner, Brooke took it upon

herself to nominate the family for help from a local Christmas organization – who recently delivered a Christmas blessing to the family.

A member of the family had this to say about the caring and generosity that Brooke has displayed during this tough time… “Our family will be forever grateful to Brooke, as well as others, who have made this journey a little easier on us. It is always refreshing to hear

and see the positive actions come out of a community.”

“Brooke is an amazing young lady with a huge heart…and gets great joy from helping others,” said Brooke’s mother Gina Ferguson. “Ever since she was a little girl she has always put others’ needs before any of her wants and never expects anything in return.”

“I’m just ready for her (Althea) to be home with her family…plus I can go snuggle her anytime I want to! I’m not related in any way, but I will forever be her “auntie” and she will be my niece. This family has become family to me,” Brooke added.

Brooke and Althea’s family want to give a special thank you to each and every person who has helped in any way – from prayers to donations – allowing the transition from hospital to home to be as smooth and safe as possible.

The accident occurred in the 2800 block of State Route 49 when Jones, who was traveling northbound, went off the left side of the road and struck a culvert.

At the time of the accident, Jones tested positive for methamphetamines in his system and was driving without a license. “This kills me every day I live,� Jones told Judge Jonathan P. Hein.

When Hein asked Jones if he was being pressured into entering a guilty plea, he answered “yes� and explained he meant “the plea deal offer I got,� giving him the opportunity to move on as opposed to hiring “an attorney to investigate.�

Jones, who was represented by court-appointed attorney Randall Breaden, faces prison time and a lifetime license suspension.

Reineke, who says he suffers from Tourette Syndrome, told Hein the cell phone was for “emergency purposes,� just in case he had car trouble or was in an accident while driving to Greenville for appointments. He also told the judge he was on the Internet to see if his old Facebook account was still accessible.

Assistant Prosecutor Deborah Quigley, who had objected in January to Reineke’s early release, again called the defendant a sexual predator. “He’s clearly not a good candidate for community control,� she told Hein. “The defendant is a sexual predator,� gaining access to the Internet with the intent of “grooming kids.

He has clearly violated community control sanctions. The state believes he should be sent back to prison.�

Hein agreed and ordered Reineke complete his original sentence. He was remanded into custody at the conclusion of his hearing on Monday.

Reineke sent back to prison GREENVILLE - Scotty Reineke will be going back to prison to serve the remaining 15 months of his original sentence for disseminating matter harmful to juveniles and pandering obscenity to minors.

Reineke appeared Monday before Judge Jonathan P. Hein in Darke County Common Pleas Court, on charges he had violated community control sanctions.

Reineke, 35, of Bradford, was given an early judicial release from prison in January of this year after serving almost half of a four year, 11 month sentence.

As a condition of his early release, Reineke was placed on ďŹ ve years of community control sanctions by Hein, which included no Internet or cell phone usage.

Reineke’s recent violations included attempting to access social media on a tablet he purchased at a garage sale and possession of a cell phone with a camera feature. Both items, Reineke’s attor-

Sounds of the season enjoyed around the town

BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The sounds of the season could be heard around Greenville on Wednesday morning as The DeColores Montessori Junior High Orchestra performed their annual Community Service Tour. “Our school likes to help out our community,� said Leo Williams, an 8th grade violinist. “I really like performing and playing my violin. And it’s a great way to spread happiness.�

Williams was joined by

17 DeColores Junior High Orchestra members performing at several nursing homes and assisted living locations, including Rest Haven, Village Green, Heartland, and Brethren Retirement Community on Wednesday morning. The group also performed a noon concert at the Greenville Church of the Brethren for DeColores families.

Under the direction of Brandy Winterrowd, the orchestra started working on Christmas selections in October. On Wednesday,

they performed a variety of fun carols and Christmas hymns, including Frosty the Snowman, Joy to the World, We Three Kings, O, Come All Ye Faithful, Silent Night, Hark! The Herald Angels, Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer, and We Wish You a Merry Christmas, among others.

The students have been learning their instruments since second grade, said Winterrowd, who has been with the school for 13 years. “This is a great event,� she said of the holiday con-

cert, which gives students the opportunity to learn a variety of holiday tunes.

Seventh-grade violinist Mya Conway agreed with her teacher. “I really love playing my instrument and its nice to be able to play Christmas� hymn selections, she said.

Village Green resident Mary King couldn’t choose just one of the carols as her favorite. “I liked all of them,� she said. “I always look forward to this.�

Shields named Kiwanis Teacher of the Year

BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Nominated by her peers and students, Greenville High School math teacher Elizabeth Shields was named Greenville Kiwanis Club Teacher of the Year this week.

Honored during Wednesday’s regular Kiwanis Club meeting, Shields heard excerpts from some of the nominations, read by GHS Principal Stan Hughes. “Student focused,� “tremendous rapport� with students, “always focused on her students,� “an amazing teacher and her students respect her� were a few of the comments from Shields’ nomination letters.

Hughes thanked club members for “allowing our teachers and students a chance to recognize our staff. We are looking for things that are good in our schools.�

Shields, a 2008 GHS graduate, attended the University of Dayton, graduating in 2015. She’s in her fourth year teaching math at Greenville.

Shields said her love of numbers and math concepts have been with her

throughout her life. “Since I was a young child, math was always my favorite subject,� she said, pointing out her grandfather, Duane Shields also taught math at GHS, retiring before she had the opportunity to be his student.

Shields has the opportunity to teach several math courses at GHS, including formal geometry, AP courses and automotive math for the Career Tech Center’s auto tech program. “I know more about a car than I ever knew before,� she shared, noting that teaching how math is utilized in designing vehicles has allowed her to learn alongside her students.

“That’s been fun,� she said.

Shields also said she’s enjoying working alongside some of her former math teachers, including Beth Arnold and Tammy Griesdorn, as well as a couple teachers who have moved on to other districts – Tammy Green, now teaching at Ansonia and Bob Batty, who teaches in Covington. “It’s been cool to work with them,� she said.

Shields believes her teaching style is what appeals to students, many who struggle with the concepts of math. “I have the kids set up in groups and allow plenty of time to work together during class time,� Shields explained. “From the beginning of the year, the students work together. It’s very interactive.�

Students enjoy using iPads and do a lot of online activities in class, Shields noted.

Shields also is a mentor to some of the younger members of her family. “I ask them how they’re doing with math and want to know how they’re learning,� she said, pointing out one young cousin in particular may be carrying on the family tradition with his “math-centered brain.�

When she’s not teaching or coming up with lesson plans, Shields enjoys spending time with her family and running.

She’s completed several half marathons, including events in Indianapolis and Columbus, and runs with a group of GHS teachers, some who have joined her for the marathons. “We have a little running crew here,� Shields said.

tendance the accomplishments of the Friends this past year and revealed plans for next year.

In her report, she also reported on the status of the Community Parks, Recreation and Conservation Project grant that she wrote. The $98,000 grant has been Okayed by the state. “Other contributions we received were proceeds from a pancake breakfast and the Darke County Foundation check for cheer squad,� Clark said. “What we paid for out of our treasury this past year was sand for the playground, mowing services on Treasure Island and nine tons of rip rap delivered and placed around Little Turtle Pond.�

According to her, plans for next year include the restoration of Little Turtle Island enhanced with a life-size bronze sculpture of Chief Little Turtle; add special lighting to enhance island and sculpture; clean and repair stone wall/waterfall; place large boulders and base boulder for the statue in front of waterfall; plant trees, perennials and shrubs as per landscape design; plant additional trees around pond banks as needed; and place informational signage on pond bank about life of Chief Little Turtle. “The project will start when the sculpture is com-

pleted (with a target date of May),� said Clark.

Additional project suggestions for next year include committing to decorating Treasure Island and Little Turtle Island with Christmas lights and decorations.

Also speaking was sculptor Joshua Shephard of Union City, Ind., who will create the life-size statue of Chief Little Turtle in Greenville City Park, across from the decorated Treasure Island. “The statue will be 6 feet tall,� Shephard explained. “I’d like to do it historically accurate as possible, depending on the budget.�

He said he would be doing a lot of the work in his workshop at home, then it will go a bronze foundry in Indianapolis once it is approved to be ďŹ nished. “The initial step is to put rubber mold in front of the water fall,â€? he said. “I will make it with armature frames and add Styrofoam to the brick.â€?

Shephard said he only has one “not really good portrait� of the Miami chief, so he plans to work with other portraits of the Miami tribe. As for the bead work and jewelry that the chief wore, he has gotten information from museum collectors that he will copy.

Shephard’s work includes a statue in front of the Union City Fire Department, a sculpture on the

Union City Public Library lawn, two busts of ex-governors on the courthouse square in Winchester, Ind., and an Indian sculpture in front of Buffalo Jack’s in Covington. “We have made great progress since we formed our group,� Clark said. “We have another great year ahead of us. In order to continue to succeed, we have to have someone to volunteer to be president of our group for this year.

Sue Besecker has agreed to be treasurer again but we need a president to schedule meetings etc. I will continue on as your board president but we need someone to be president of our group.�

Still time to register for Christmas at LCC GREENVILLE – Christmas is a time of year for joy and happiness, but for some it can be a lonely and sad time of year. This is the reason for over three decades Pastor Hershel and Barb Fee, local area businesses and community volunteers have spent their time on Christmas day to serve.

For the past 36 years, Pastor Hershel and Barb Fee have organized the Community Christmas Dinner, gathering presents, food and donations to see that Christmas day would be special for those who are in need. They have reached a time of retiring from the Christmas dinner but Pastor and Barb will continue pastoring and

plan to attend and help out at the dinners as their heart will always be for this community.

The local area businesses that have always supported the Christmas dinner along with several new businesses will carry on this tradition. Local businesses have stepped up with donations of food, presents, bikes and their time. They didn’t want to see 300 or more people have nowhere to go on Christmas day. Eric Fee, organizer, is overwhelmed by the support he is receiving. “I can’t express how thankful I am for the generosity of the local businesses and individuals throughout the county.

They have all stepped up to make this event spectacular,� said Fee. This year there will be the free dinner, gifts for

Council says no to increase for safety service director GREENVILLE – Beginning next year, city employees will see, at a minimum, a cost-of-living increase in their pay. During their two meetings in December, Greenville City Council approved several collective bargaining agreements, as well as increases for the assistant law director and non-union members, including additional raises for ranking ďŹ re and police personnel. Council also prepared for 2020 by approving salaries for elected ofďŹ cials. However, council chose not to give the safety service director a raise beyond cost-of-living.

On Tuesday, council’s ďŹ nance committee issued its report regarding the safety/service director’s salary. The report stated, “After careful consideration and lengthy discussion, the committee recommends to council to leave the safety/service director’s compensation as it currently is.â€? The report was accepted by council with Doug Wright providing the only vote against the report. Councilman Doug Schmidt was absent.

Council did approve legislation to set the salaries for the mayor, auditor, law director and ward council seats beginning in 2020.

The pay for ward council members will increase to $5,400. Greenville’s mayor will earn $49,070 in 2020 with increases

of $50,540, $52,055 and $53,620. The auditor’s salary will be set at $69,690 to start the new term and will then jump to $72,480, $75,380 and $78,395. The law director’s position will increase to $95,000. Since the assistant law director is an appointed position, the salary will increase in 2019 and is set at $52,000. Each of the ordinances received unanimous approval from council.

Council was asked to consider waiving the tap-in fee for two properties that share a sewer connection.

Issues with the connection have caused both properties to lose sewer service.

Only one of the properties would be required to pay the $1,375 tap-in fee.

Council chose not to waive the fee. However, they did offer an option to pay the fee over eight payments.

Council will also need to decide if it wants to put trash service out for bid or give Rumpke a one-year extension as provided by the current contract. If council chooses to allow the extension, Rumpke would be allowed to raise its rates. Without having the contract with him, Safety/Service Director Curt Garrison estimated the maximum increase at three percent. The city is unsure if any other waste hauler will bid on the project due to the need for trash bag pick-up. Most hauling companies have switched completely to automated trucks.

GREENVILLE – Darke Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) is pleased to announce that applications for the Local Agricultural Easement Purchase Program (LAEPP) are now available.

The LAEPP provides funding to farmland owners for placing a perpetual agricultural easement on their property. This permanent, voluntary easement is a legally binding restriction placed on a farm that will forever protect your farmland from development. LAEPP is a very competitive program that allows the current owners to continue to own the land as well as preserve the productivity of their farm for future generations.

The LAEPP easement requires the farm remain permanently in agriculture

production. Selected farms must be 40-acres or more, actively engaged in farming, participate in the Current Agricultural Use Valuation program, demonstrate good stewardship of the land, have the support of their local government and not lay directly in the path of development. Landowners may use the proceeds of the easement in any way they wish, but most reinvest it in their farm operations.

If you own a farm in Darke County and are interested in preserving the farmland, you can visit www.darkeswcd.com to learn more about the program and request an application. For additional information and questions call the Darke SWCD ofďŹ ce at 937-548-1715, extension 3. The local deadline to apply is Jan. 31, 2019.

GREENVILLE – During a visit to The Early Bird’s new downtown Greenville ofďŹ ces on Friday, Dec. 14,, 8th District Congressman Representative Warren Davidson took time to address current issues, including a looming government shut down and recently passed Farm Bill.

President Donald Trump announced this past week he would consider shutting down the government Dec. 21, if he does not receive the $5 billion he’s asked for to build a wall between Mexico and the U.S. “I do believe he’s serious,� Davidson said about Trump. “He’s been very committed to border security.�

Davidson continued: “Personally, I think the alternative would work better,� suggesting Trump should declare there would be no government shut down for the remainder of his term.

Davidson continued with the thought that if there is a shut down, “they will blame the president� and Democrats would feel they have more leverage in January, due to incoming Democrats and Speaker of the House-hopeful Senator Nancy Pelosi taking the reign.

On the recently passed Farm Bill, Davidson agrees there were some “good wins� for area farmers, but is concerned.

Davidson called the positive points in the bill “a very modest set of reforms� for local farmers. “Big farms like the Farm Bill better than small,� he said.

Davidson also mentioned recent positive moves with China on tariffs, including the country’s announcement that it was reducing new vehicle tariffs and possible order of U.S. soybeans. “The tariffs on soybeans have hurt our area so much,� Davidson admitted.

In the near future, the congressman said he would like to see reforms helping those receiving welfare assistance, for example adding work requirements, and is working to put together an initiative to review and condense 92 current poverty programs designed to help those in need.

A new bill – People Centered Assistance Reform Effort – would include two Republicans and two Democrats working together to conduct the review and present a proposal designed to meet all the needs of an individual or family, Davidson explained.

One school of thought, he said, to eliminating poverty would be to encourage three steps: graduate from high school, work a full time job and don’t have children until age 21.

Davidson said he’d shared his thoughts on welfare reform with his district’s Job and Family Services directors, who are supportive.

Davidson said he is planning to hold the annual Farm Forum, which was started by his predecessor John Boehner, on March 2 at Edison State Community College’s Piqua campus.

Topics for discussion during the annual forum will include tariffs, trade, the tax bill and Farm Bill.

Greenville Lady Wave earns big win over Sidney GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Lady Wave varsity basketball team left little doubt in the opening minutes of Wednesday night’s home game as to the outcome in a 52-22 convincing win over the Sidney Lady Yellow Jackets.

The Lady Wave bolted out to a 13-0 first quarter lead taking advantage of a full-court smothering press before closing out the period with a 19-3 advantage over the Lady Jacket.

The GWOC teams played even in period No. 2 with each team putting 10 points on the board sending the squads to the break with Greenville holding a 29-13 advan-

tage.

The Lady Wave doubled up on Sidney in third quarter 8-4 to take a 37-17 lead to the final period of play.

With Coach Kerns continuing to use her entire bench, giving younger players valuable varsity court time, the Lady Wave continued to pull away outscoring the visitors 12-5 to earn a well-played victory.

Greenville scored 16second chance points as a result of 17-offensive rebounds in the game.

“One of our biggest focus points of the game coming in was go get those offensive rebounds and we knew we had an advantage just from the will to want to go do it,” Kerns stated.

“The girls came in hungry to go get them. A lot of different girls had offensive

rebounds and when that happens good things usually come out of that.”

Koryanne Ellott returned to the lineup after an injury absence while the team is still anticipating the return of injured starting guard, Morgan Gilbert, last year’s leading scorer and assist leader who has not seen the court yet this season for the Lady Wave.

“Really excited that we started to put some things together,” noted Kerns.

“Getting Koryanne back is a great addition and we’re just maybe a couple of weeks from completing our team. We have a good chance of having Gilbert back and there is a lot of winnable games left on our schedule – so don’t count us out just yet. Once we’re all healthy and going, I think the next part of our

Ansonia wins defensive battle over MV Blackhawks

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY – The Ansonia Tigers defeated the Mississinawa Valley Blackhawks 33-25 in a low scoring defensive battle Tuesday night CCC basketball game.

“We knew coming in this was going to be a battle regardless of the rosters,” said Ansonia coach Devin Limburg. “No matter what – when these teams play they bring their ‘A’ game,” Ansonia took a 10-4 lead after one period of play with five Tigers getting in the scoring column.

Mississinawa battled back to take period No. 2 by a 7-6 score sending the teams to the break with Ansonia holding a 16-11 advantage.

The teams headed to the final period of play with the Tigers up 26-16 with Ansonia taking the quarter by a 10-6 count.

The Blackhawks battle back to close within one point, 26-25 with 4:28 on the fourth quarter clock

only to have Ansonia score seven unanswered points to close out scoring on the night and earn the Cross County Conference win.

“That’s what we want,” Coach Limburg said of his team’s defensive play.

“It is something we have been stressing. If we’re holding teams to 20 -30 points, we’re going to give ourselves a chance to win whether we’re hitting shots or not – we showed that tonight.”

“We got beat the first half,” said MV coach Tim Barga. “Give a team confidence – they’ll beat you.

We proved that a few times last year and that’s the way it is.”

D. J. Howell led Mississinawa and all scorers with a game high 11 points.

Matthew Shook paced seven Ansonia players in the scoring column with 8-points in the win.

“I don’t want to have to lean on one or two guys,” Limburg said. “I want everybody to be able to anything we ask them to do and tonight was a perfect

“The schedule we have right now is in our favor,” continued Kerns. “We went through one of our toughest stretches with the Troys, the Butlers and the Tipp Citys and especially being undermanned, but our next stretch here, there is no reason we don’t stretch a few together going into the new year.”

Arcanum Trojans outlasts Eaton Eagles in 52-48 thriller GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

ARCANUM – The Arcanum Trojans hung on for a 52-48 win over the visiting Eaton Eagles in a Saturday night non-conference win that would see the teams combine for 15 3-pointers on the night and a game Arcanum would hit one more three pointer than 2-point field goals.

“We probably shot more threes tonight than I am comfortable with,” said Arcanum coach Jim Melton. “Seven or eight threes is about the most I am comfortable with. I don’t want to live and die

by that thing.”

Eaton took a 12-11 lead after one period of play with each team hitting a triple, including the Trojans’ Carter Gray’s first of six triples on the night.

Arcanum took advantage of three Carter Gray second period threes and a free throw for 10 points, Wade Meeks 4-4 at the line and a Austen Cutarelli bucket to outscore the visitors 16-9 sending the teams to the break with the Trojans owning a 2721 advantage.

Period No. 3 had Arcanum open the quarter on an 8-0 run pushing its lead to 35-21 with 3:27 on the clock only to have Eaton

score the final 8-points of the period to trail 35-29 with the teams heading to the final period of play.

Eaton battled back cutting the Trojans’ lead to 50-48 with 0:19 in the fourth using five fourth quarter 3-pointers and two field goals for 19points while Arcanum was going 14-21 at the charity stripe including 2-2 from Lane Byrne late in the game and a Carter Gray triple accounting for 17points to preserve the win down the stretch for the Trojans.

“That was huge,” Coach Melton said of Byrne’s two late free throws. “Showed some senior leadership.

Lane has played really well for us and he stepped up. I was proud of him.”

“We decided to make the switch and go to man and give them a different look,” Melton said. “Early on it took them a while to score in the third quarter so we just decided to change it up. That’s the thing – any given night somebody can get hot and those threes will go in against a zone.”

The fourth had Evan Atchley connecting on 6-8 at the line, Wade Meeks 3-4, Byrne 2-4 and Gray 3-5 to go along with a triple, Arcanum’s lone bucket of the period.

“Wade is starting to find

some consistency with his game and he is starting to step up,” Melton said of his senior floor leader.

“We challenged him and he’s answering the call.

He is doing a really nice job for us.”

Carter Gray led Arcanum and all scorers with a game high 24-points including six 3-pointers.

ARCANUM – C. Gray 24, W. Meeks 12, E. Atchley 6, J. Goubeaux 4, L. Byrne 4, A. Cutarelli 2 – TOTALS 6 19-30 7 52 EATON – T. Pittman 14, J. Howard 11, I. Manning 8, D. Jackson 5, O. Baumann 4, H. Frost 4, C. Caplinger 2 – TOTALS 10 4-8 8 48

UNION CITY – The Ansonia Lady Tigers defeated the Mississinawa Valley Lady Blackhawks 74-49 in a Saturday Cross County Conference matchup that saw two teams without a win on the season.

“The first ‘W’ is always good,” said Ansonia coach Jim Bolin, “and it’s been a long time coming.”

“We did score today – we struggled defensively,” MV coach Michael Paige said. “We just have to figure out which lineups work well together and find some kind of chemistry and then just get better every game.”

The Lady Tigers took a 21-11 lead after one period of play with Kierra Reichert pouring in 11-points and Trinity Henderson adding 7-points including two 3-pointers to pace Ansonia.

Ansonia added to its lead scoring 16-second quarter points while holding the home team to 8-points to take a 37-19 lead to the break.

“I was real happy with our defense today that has been missing a lot,” Bolin said. “The kids come out ready to play and got some easy turnovers off of the press – that was our game plan.”

The teams played even in quarter No. 3 with each scoring 14-points for an Ansonia 51-33 advantage with one quarter to play.

Ansonia took the final period 23-16 led by Mariah Troutwine’s 8-points while Mattie Hiestand was scoring 11-points in the final quarter for the Lady Hawks.

“We have to start playing more pressure and playing like that the whole game,” said Paige. “We also have to hit our free throws.

We were 17-39 from the

foul line – we were 13-67 from the field. We have to work on making layups underneath the rim, making our free throws. The little things right there and it will be a much closer game.”

The Lady Tigers got balanced scoring with five players hitting double figures.

“We all shot the ball well today,” Bolin noted. “We had five girls in double figures. I hope we will use this game to springboard on to something bigger.”

Hiestand led the MV and all scorers with a game high 18-points. Henderson led the Lady Tigers with 17-points.

“Trinity always plays hard,” said Coach Bolin.

VERSAILLES – The Versailles Lady Tigers stepped up second half play to defeat the visiting Lima Bath Lady Wildcats 63-41 in a Monday night non-conference game.

“Just not in sink from the get-go and we just have to figure things out,” said Versailles coach Jacki Stonebraker. “A work in progress but I was very happy with the effort in the second half.”

Lima held a 12-8 first quarter lead with 2:30 on the clock before Elizabeth Ording’s third bucket of the opening period, backto-back Kelsey Custenborder free throws and a Savannah Toner basket gave the Lady Tigers a narrow 14-13 lead after one period of play.

“She (Ording) played solid,” Stonebraker said.

“She was the girl I felt like we needed out there at all times to rebound, to score,

Lady Wave JV downs Yellow Jackets

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Lady Wave JV team took advantage of a 21-4 fourth quarter to soundly defeated the visiting Sidney Lady Yellow Jackets 50-26 in a Wednesday night GWOC home basketball game.

Libby McKinney and Grace Shaffer each knocked down first quarter three pointers, Lilly Hayes added a bucket, Abbie Yoder went 2-2 at the line and Emalee Bowling scored from the charity stripe to lead the Lady Wave to an 11-6 lead after one period of play.

The Greenville girls took the second quarter by a 12-5 score with Yoder hitting for 6-points, Hayes 4-points, and Bowling hitting 2-2 at the line to give the Lady Wave a 23-11 advantage at the break.

The Sidney JV squad battled back to take the third quarter of play and cut Greenville’s lead to 2922 with one period to play.

The Lady Wave put their ‘A’ game into fourth quarter play taking advantage of 6-points each from Yoder and McKinney, a Shaffer triple, three Cheyanne Hartsock points and 2-2 at the line from Laikyn Bruner to outscore the visitors 21-4 to win going away.

Yoder led the Lady Wave and all scorers with a game high 17-points.

great game today.”

The Versailles offense continued to struggle in second quarter play with the visitors outscoring the Lady Tigers 11-9 sending the teams to the break with Lima Bath holding a slim 24-23 advantage.

The Lady Wildcats held a 31-30 lead with five minutes to play in the third before Versailles found its stride outscoring the Lima girls 33-10 before Bath would hit a three pointer with no time on the game clock giving Versailles a 63-41 win.

After going scoreless in first half play, Caitlin McEldowney hit two 3-pointers to lead the Lady Tigers third quarter comeback.

“She is going to have people on her, guarding her especially in the second half of the season,” Stonebraker said of McEldowney,” so she has to get used to being able to distribute, making good passes and finding her open teammates and be satisfied with making a great pass and then look to score the next time.”

The Versailles defense held Bath to single digits in both the third and fourth quarters while putting up 16 and 24 points in the final two periods.

“She does a nice job,” Coach Stonebraker noted of Liz Watren. “She is a defensive specialist on the point guard, or a small guard, or a ball handler that’s a little bit taller than her.”

“I can’t put her on a post player yet,” Stonebraker added with a chuckle, “but for the most part she does a good job in the backcourt.”

Versailles pulled down 22 offensive rebounds, scoring 20 second chance points in the game, most coming in second half play.

“We did a nice job on the offensive boards as expected when it’s a team that is a lot shorter than us,” stated Stonebraker.

“I felt like we were hungry for the offensive boards and we went after it.”

The Versailles girls were a solid 80-percent shooting; 8-10 from the charity stripe.

“Eighty percent is really good for us from the free throw line,” Stonebraker noted. “If we take it into them a little bit more, get it inside and not settle for just throwing stuff up and getting bailed out, we can

get to the line a little bit more, but 80-percent is pretty good.’

Ten Lady Tigers put points in the scoring column led by Ording’s game high 12-points.

He was born on Dec. 5, 1933 in Dayton, to the late Kenneth and Laura (Ward) Dowler. In addition to his parents, Gene was preceded in death by his son, Patrick Dowler, and his siblings, Gary Dowler and Charlotte Doughty.

Gene was a lifetime farmer. He grew up on his family’s dairy farm and enjoyed spending time outdoors.

Later in life, Gene and his wife owned Still Meadow Farms in New Madison. He loved watching the meadows and wildlife on their farm. Gene’s friends loved his kindness and gentleness that he had with his dogs and farm animals. Along with farming, Gene spent 30 years working for General Motors in Dayton, until he retired in 1996.

He loved 4-H and enjoyed helping his children and grandchildren with their projects. Each year, Gene looked forward to spending every day at the Great Darke County Fair. Gene was a proud member of the Dayton Buckeye Model A Club, Greenville Masonic Lodge #143, ancient accepted Scottish Rite, Valley of Dayton, where he was a 32nd degree Mason.

CLYMER – John Donald Clymer, 61, (always known as JD), of Versailles, passed away on Sunday, Dec. 9, 2018. He was born November 11, 1957, to Lenard (Lenny) and Sally Clymer in Troy.

JD was preceded in death by his father, Lenny in 1969 and his mother, Sally in 2014.

A graduate of Ansonia High School in 1976, he was employed at Frenchtown Trailer Sales.

As a youth, JD was a free spirit with boundless energy, he was curious and animated, and had those trademark curly blond locks. He was very fun-loving with a great personality.

As a young adult, JD loved to sing and was in a band “Invasion” where he played lead guitar. He and the guys would jam for hours, playing favorites that today are considered your old classic rock. With his mechanical skills, he excelled in auto body and could fabricate and weld, tear apart an engine and fix a boat if he put his mind to it. Or, he could leave part of it on the shop floor and move onto the next project. As he aged, you would find him in the spring scouring the woods for morel mushrooms, and in the summer, he loved to boat and fish and would spend the afternoon at the lake. He never shied away from a good political debate.

Life evolves, as it does with all of us, and sometimes we don’t view our life as others might, but JD lived his life as he wanted, on his own terms and in his own time.

Always the star gazer, and a dreamer of dreams, he will be missed more than he’ll ever know by those who loved him.

JD is survived by his resilient and lovely daughter, Lindse’ (Josh) Browner of Piqua and his lively grandsons, Breylind, Kenyon, Rolan, Junior and Marcus; siblings, Rene’ (Devon) Wasson of Union City, IN; Connie (Jim) Sink of Englewood; Bryan (Aliana) Clymer of Greenville; Lenny (Tina) Clymer of Rotunda West, FL; and Teresa (Roger) Fleckenstein of Versailles; and many nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles, extended family, cousins and friends.

There will not be a public service held at this time; a celebration of life will be planned for this summer.

Please make any donations to the American Heart Association.

Grows deliver Wreaths Across America LINDA MOODY

Local Christmas tradition carries on GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Lighthouse Christian Center for the 37th year will be serving a free Christmas dinner to everyone that would normally be spending the special day alone.

Pastor Barbara and Hershel Fee have been opening the doors to the local church on Christmas day for 36 years and are retiring from the event.

Eric Fee, owner of Tribute Funeral Homes, the son of Barb and Hershel is continuing the local Community Christmas Dinner at Greenville’s Lighthouse Christian Center started by his parents.

Oakley Place Senior Living located in Greenville will be providing pies for the dinner.

“We are going to continue the tradition of Community Christmas Dinner at Lighthouse,” said Sandy of Oakley Place. “We want to give back to the community and those that are homebound and taking them meals also.”

“For 36 years Pastors Barb and Hershel have done this for the church and it’s a lot of work,” said Eric. “They are retiring from the Community

Christmas dinner, but not from the church.”

“We thought as businesses we could carry on this tradition. We serve about 350 to 400 people that day either shipping out and dropping meals off or bringing them in, or people showing up.”

“I got with Sandy,” continued Fee. “We didn’t feel it was right for that many people to go without something on Christmas so we’re hoping to carry it on another 30-40 years.”

The dinner is from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Christmas day at Lighthouse Christian Center, 5256 Sebring Warner Road, Greenville.

“It’s for anybody, it’s for the community, it’s a free dinner,” stated Fee. “We’re going to have Santa Clause, we’re going to have entertainment, we’re going to serve them. Instead of a buffet line we’re going to have servers serve our guests at their table. They are going to have a menu to select from and we are going to have all the delicious pies.”

“I can’t say enough about Eric and Tribute,” concluded Sandy. “They are there for the families, they are there for the community – just everyone.

I can’t say enough good things about them.”

Online threat at GHS resolved quickly GREENVILLE – Parents of Greenville High School students received a notification from the administration earlier today of a threat made to the district.

Superintendent Doug Fries said, “An online threat was resolved by the School Resource Officer and Administrators and appropriate action was taken. Everyone at the high school did a good job of looking at the issue.”

Fries pointed out no one was injured.

Fries would not give further details in order to

allow the investigation to take place.

The Greenville Police Department released a statement shortly before 1 p.m. “On the morning of Dec. 19, school officials at the Greenville High School were made aware of a threat of violence made by a student against the school, via the school’s instant messaging system.

The School Resource Officer was made aware of this threat. The SRO transported the student suspect to Juvenile Court. Criminal charges have been filed on this student.”

UNION CITY, Ohio – A couple of years ago, Richard and Katie Grow of Union City, Ohio, heard about Wreaths Across America (WWA) at a truck show they attended in Louisville, Ky. “We visited a booth advertising for drivers,” Richard said. “We had no clue what they were, but it wound up that we were too busy that year...that we would do it this year.”

Their trip started Dec. 5 and ended Dec. 12, putting 2,750 miles on the Grows’ company truck.

They donated their time and semi rig and a trailer they leased from friend Ronnie Bowers to haul wreaths from Maine to designated cemeteries.

“They were honored to have their picture taken with the Wreaths Across America’s founders Karen and Morrill Worcester,” reported Fort Greenville Daughters of the American Revolution Regent Debbie Nisonger.

“We took the truck to Columbia Falls, Maine, and got in that night a little after 5 a.m. in the driver’s

room,” said Richard, who ended up at a table with a man, whom he soon found out founded Wreaths Across America.

“We loaded that night and went to Calise at the Canadian border at New Brunswick, where the Gold Star Mothers met in the center of the bridge for the changing of the wreaths.

“They brought us back and they said that I wasn’t leaving yet,” he said. “Instead I was going to supper and church. Katie and I stayed in our truck the whole time there, and a Greyhound tour bus picked us up and drove us into the woods to a non-denominational church and we sang Christmas songs. The Gold Star Mothers talked...it was very moving. Then, we went to Columbia Falls to eat a meal and every driver came up and told about himself.”

The Grows hauled 3,000 wreaths on their truck, and that was only half a load. Yet, they made seven drops...in Ohio and West Virginia.

“They sent 250,000 wreaths and 68 loads to Arlington, approximately 6,000 in each truckload,” according to Katie.

Their own deliveries

Richard and Katie Grow are shown with the founders of Wreaths Across America, Morrill and Karen Worcester.

were to Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery in Rittman; then they delivered in Parkersburg, W. Va., and on to Ohio at Oak Grove Cemetery in Logan, Obetz Cemetery, Williamsport, Latham and ended up in Hamilton.

The Grows are planning on participating at least one more time, but indicated they have to get a year under their belt before they can go to Arlington. “We are trying to get on the list to go down there,” he said.

They enjoyed their trip, even though he admitted to being nervous that first time.

“Katie was gung-ho all the way,” he said. “”She was more pumped than I was.”

“We met people from all over the United States,” Katie said.

Grow served two tours in Vietnam with the “brown water” Navy from 1970-74.

He was drafted out of high school from Mississinawa Valley.

“We had a very good truck, perfect weather and everything went well,” he said.

Like the other drivers, the Grows did this voluntarily, using their own equipment and finances for gas and food.

Ackley writes, produces ‘Disconnected’ LINDA MOODY

CORRESPONDENT

FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Kiowa Ackley, a former Darke County, resident, recently wrote and produced a television series for Amazon Prime.

“My current project, which is called Disconnected, will be coming to Amazon Prime in the first quarter of 2019 and it is produced by Open Sign Entertainment and it will be released as a complete season which will consist of seven, 30-minute episodes,” he said.

The first three episodes premiered Dec. 8.

“I’ll just include the plot line; otherwise, I will ramble and not make any sense,” Ackley said. “Aspen Nix, a millennial who has done everything she is supposed to do – as told by society - is completely lost.

Her family says to follow her dreams but she has no clue what those are; her friends say get a stable job but she doesn’t want to feel trapped. So she is stuck in between doing something until she figures out what

her dreams are, even if it is altering Wikipedia entries. She will soon be forced to make a choice in her life but will her past drag her down or will unlikely choices become her dreams?”

Now a resident of Fort Wayne, Ackley lived in Darke County for what he thought was five years, attending Franklin Monroe School but leaving after seventh grade.

“I graduated from Crandon High School and, after high school, I got my bachelor’s from Indiana University Purdue University Fort Wayne (now Purdue University Fort Wayne) then went on to work on my master’s degree at the same school,” he said.

“Since college I did short films, worked for the NBA G-League filming games for the Fort Wayne Mad Ants for a year and then started doing commercials, produced commercials for companies such as Southern Comfort, Bud Light, Old Spice, Oral B, etc...Now I’m a hook editor for Netflix.”

What has been his inspiration?

Kiowa Ackley, left, works with a cast member in a production he wrote and is producing. (Courtesy photo)

“Well, I started taking television production courses at IPFW, learned the basics and worked at the campus television station,” he said. “I’m also a huge fan of television. I’m a fan of stories and character development and I just wanted to create my own worlds.”

The son of Jeanne Ackley, who was born in Greenville, and Dennis Stager, has accomplished a lot in a short amount of time. He has gotten mar-

ried, completed his first feature film “East of Nowhere” and underwent a liver transplant because of Alpha 1 liver disease, after which he started writing “Disconnect” and pitched it to Open Sign Entertainment, and then started filming it.

He said people can keep up to date with “Disconnected” on Facebook https://www.facebook. com/disconnectedtv/ or go to https://opensignprods.com/

Greenville BOE looking at stadium improvement options SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville Board of Education on Thursday heard representatives from Garmann Miller Architects and Mote & Associates concerning the next phase of the high school stadium project The board held a work session prior to Thursday’s regular monthly meeting.

According to Superin-

.

tendent Doug Fries, the district is looking at making a number of improvements at the stadium.

Board members requested a work session in order to gather information concerning the variety of options available to the district as far as the design/ build process as well as contract/bid options.

Fries said several ideas for improving the stadium area are being considered, including constructing a building between the two

tracks, which will include rest rooms and concessions and possibly locker rooms.

New bleacher seating also is on the district’s wish list, as well as a press box with a new sound system and stadium lighting.

The scope of the project, Fries said, will depend upon the funds available and will most likely come from both the school district and the Friends of Harmon Field.

A timeline for the im-

provements has yet to be decided, Fries said.

The district replaced the stadium turf in 2017.

During their regular board meeting Thursday, the board approved the purchase of two new school buses at a cost of $193,938 from Cardinal Bus Sales and Service and set their 2019 organizational meeting for 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 10.

The board will hold its regular January meeting at 7 p.m., also Jan. 10.

The event was a success due to member support and donations made by businesses in the community.

Businesses donating to the Breakfast with Santa were: Duane Edwards, Winner’s Meats, Greenville VFW, Weaver Brothers, Eikenberry’s IGA, Early Bird/ Keith Foutz, and Downing Fruit Farms.

Once again the BPW Club had additional help from the students of the

The property is sold “as is”, caveat emptor (let the buyer beware). The Sheriff’s office does not have information on liens or taxes.

Real estate tax information can be found at the following web site: darkepropertymax.governmax.com real estate appraisal database. All sales are held in the meeting room of the County Commissioners Building, 520 South Broadway, Greenville.

Arlene Bankson of Wieland Jewelers and Andrea Jordan, executive director of DCCA with the ruby & diamond necklace donated by Wieland’s as the Grand Prize Ruby Giveaway celebrating DCCA’s 40th Season.

Wieland donates for DCCA Ruby Giveaway GREENVILLE – Darke County Center for the arts recognizes Wieland Jewelers and Dean & Arlene Bankson for their generous donation to DCCA’s Ruby Year Celebration. A custom ruby & diamond necklace was designed by Dean Bankson specifically for DCCA as the Ruby Giveaway Grand Prize. “DCCA is grateful for Wieland Jewelers donation and sponsorship of the 2018-2019 Ruby Celebration Season at the Impresario Level, DCCA’s highest level of sponsorship,” shared Andrea Jordan, DCCA executive director.

“The necklace is unique and a beautiful expression of art, just like our organization. What a wonderful way to celebrate DCCA’s 40th Season,” concluded Jordan.

The ruby & diamond necklace is just under a karat in gem weight featuring a stunning ruby offset by two diamonds, in an elegant 14K white gold setting, on a 20-inch wheat chain.

You can get a glimpse of this beauty in person, as it will be on display at Wieland Jewelers, in downtown Greenville.

Expanding on the Ruby

Celebration Season theme 2018-2019 DCCA Artist Series subscribers have been entered to win a “Ruby” themed gift for each Artist Series event.

Ohio Blood Donor Awareness Month

DAYTON – Community Blood Center will begin the New Year by joining blood donation advocates across the state in the first celebration of January as Ohio “Blood Donor Awareness Month.”

Supporters hope this new legislation will raise awareness about the necessity of blood donations, encourage more people to donate, including a new generation of young donors, and honor all donors for helping save the lives of fellow Ohioans.

CBC will host a news conference on Friday, Jan. 4 at 10 a.m. at the Dayton CBC Donor Center, 349 South Main St. to officially kickoff the inaugural January Ohio Blood Donor Awareness Month. All donors and supporters are invited to the celebration.

Rep. Stephen Huffman (R-Tipp City), chairman

FFA Soup and Sandwich Social VERSAILLES – The Versailles FFA and Versailles FFA Alumni will once again sponsor a Soup and Sandwich Social on Saturday, Feb. 2. This activity is in conjunction with the Varsity Girls’ Basketball Game against Russia and the Boys’ Varsity Basketball Game against Anna.

The Soup and Sandwich social will feature chili, chicken noodle soup, variety of sandwiches and desserts. Serving begins at noon to 8:30 p.m. in the Versailles Schools Cafetorium, 280 Marker Road, and carryout will be available.

The proceeds from this activity help fund scholarships given through the Versailles FFA Alumni and activities of the Versailles FFA Chapter.

of the House Health Committee, an emergency room physician, and a life-long blood donor, introduced House Bill 252 in the summer of 2017. He guided it through unanimous approval in both the House and Senate and to the desk of Gov. John Kasich who signed it into law on Feb. 8.

On Nov. 6, Rep. Huffman won election to Ohio’s 5th Senate District.

“My mom and dad gave blood,” said Rep. Huffman.

“When I was a resident I saw how important it was to give. I donated directly for my son Will when he was born 12-weeks premature. I appreciate what blood donors and blood centers do for my patients and others. I was happy to be able to donate for my son, and to all others in

need of blood.”

The act states, “The month of January is designated as ‘Blood Donor Awareness Month’ to increase public awareness of the need for blood donations, to encourage the public to give blood, and to recognize the lifesaving contributions of blood and

platelet donors.”

Rep. Huffman chose January for Ohio “Blood Donor Awareness Month” to coincide with January National Blood Donor Month, a tradition that began in 1970 to raise awareness that blood is often in short supply during the winter months.
