Common Pleas Judge Jonathan Hein

Education, values are factors Hein sees in criminal behavior BOB ROBINSON

ASSOCIATE EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Education. Values. According to Darke County Common Pleas Judge Jonathan Hein, both can be factors in the individuals he sees in his courtroom. “Education helps reduce crime,” he said, “but it’s no silver bullet.” Better educated, better employed, less likely to be involved in criminal conduct. “However it’s not a perfect equation,” he added. A highly educated person can still end up in his courtroom. “Arrogance is a problem,” Hein said. “For example, the embezzler is highly educated, but the values are corrupt.” At the same time, GEDs are a pretty common need among those he sees, noting most are unemployed. “Education for skills can help you get a job,” he said. “It is a pattern,” Hein added, noting the ability to get a job is a consideration for the probation department. “Education and employment are almost synonymous.” Another factor, according to Hein, is the values of the individual. “The responsibility to teach values is with the family,” he said. “The family teaches values, discipline. The schools educate, more in the area of skills. But they also reinforce values, discipline and respect.” The question in a de-

mocracy is what values are taught by the family. “First of all, society has to have a set of values… consensus values. We have to collectively agree to social norms. Some families, however, will teach values not within the norms of society. “It’s really difﬁcult to legislate values in a true democracy,” he said. “But you have to have a set of shared values to have a functional society.” What is one factor Hein believes might help? The last six Commandments of the Biblical 10 Commandments. “In the courtroom we can’t display the Commandments having to do with God,” Hein said. “But the others – honor your father and mother, don’t murder, commit adultery, steal, bear false witness or covet – government ought to be teaching. Parents should be teaching one through four.” Hein has often talked about putting the 10 Commandments in his courtroom… after covering the ﬁrst four. He noted they are shared values of a functional society. “If you have strong values, I’m not likely to see you in court whether you’re educated or not,” Hein said. Regardless, however, he added that just looking at one set of facts and coming to a conclusion isn’t going to resolve the issue, even if it seems logical. “Logical is not often right,” he said.

PITSBURG – When two Franklin Monroe students and siblings, 13-year old Katlynn Nestor and 17year old Hudson Nestor, succumbed to their injuries from a tragic crash on Monday night (Dec. 21) it not only devastated a family, it sent a shockwave through the small community. Students were in shock as they texted each other trying to ﬁnd out if the rumors they heard were true. Teachers searched for a way to comfort students during the last two days of school before the winter break. Parents held their kids a little closer and brushed away tears as they tried to give comfort. The community did what a community does and came together to demonstrate their love and willingness to go the extra mile to take care of their own. On Tuesday, Dec. 22, hundreds of students, teachers, parents and community members surrounded the Nestor family during a candlelight vigil held at Franklin Monroe. Principal PJ Burgett opened the solemn ceremony with two lit candles. Within moments the whole area was illuminated with a beautiful glow. Burgett explained, “We started tonight with just two candles; one for Katy and one for Hudson. Now there are hundreds of them lit. There is a soft glow all around you and it all started with just two candles. These two students have made a tremendous impact on this school and community.” He continued, “I don’t know what lies ahead of us. My wish for you is that you always remember Katy and Hudson in all that you do. That you live your life to the fullest and count your

Hundreds of students, teachers and community members joined with the Nestor family to remember Katy and Hudson.

blessings every day.” Following a prayer from Pastor Greg Hyre and the singing of Amazing Grace, family members and friends began to share memories and words of inspiration. One person spoke up and said, “I’ll never forget her smile.” A family member reminded those paying their respect to “slow your life down a little and hold each other.” Another family member added, “Thank you for allowing us to have this time together.” The family as a whole thanked the community for the outpouring of love they showed, “Words can’t express how much this means to us.” The ceremony concluded with another family member saying, “Go home and hug those kids. Hug them with all your might.” Services for Katlynn and Hudson will be held Tuesday, Dec. 29, 10:30 a.m., at Castine Church of the Brethren Life Center, 624 US 127 South, Arcanum. The family will receive friends on Monday from 2-8 p.m. at the church. Memorial contributions for Katlynn may be made to Save the Elephants

tion in Hudson’s name be made to Junior Diabetes Research Foundation 70 Birch Alley Suite 240 Beavercreek, OH 45440.

Two local teens killed in tragic crash GETTYSBURG – The lives of two Darke County teens were taken Dec. 21 when the vehicle they were in crashed into a tractor trailer. At approximately 7:47 p.m. the Darke County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce received a 911 call reporting a serious crash at GettysburgPitsburg Road and Neff Road in Franklin Township. Darke County Deputies, Gettysburg Fire and Rescue and Arcanum Rescue units responded. The preliminary investigation revealed a 2016 Volvo tractor trailer driven by James Dunkel, 64, of LaGrange, Ind. was turning south onto GettysburgPitsburg Road from Neff Road when a northbound 1997 Honda sedan driven by Hudson Nestor, 17, of Bradford drove under the trailer and continued north off of the right side

of the road and striking a tree. Hudson and his 13year-old sister, Katlynn Nestor, a passenger in the Honda sedan, were both pronounced dead at the scene. Dunkel was not injured in the crash and was the single occupant of the tractor trailer. Darke County Coroner Dr. Timothy Kathman and his Chief Investigator responded to the scene. The Darke County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Crash Reconstruction team also responded to the scene. The cause of the fatal crash remains under investigation by both agencies. At the conclusion of the investigation the case will be forwarded to the Darke County Prosecutor’s Office for review. No charges or citations have been issued at this time.

Candidates denied; Spencer unopposed in Primary Election RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Toby Spencer thought he was going to have competition in the race for Darke County Sheriff. However, when the Darke County Board of Elections (DCBOE) released the Candidates’ List on Dec. 21 his was the only name that appeared in the race. According to Becky Martin, director of the DCBOE, two other candidates ﬁled, but the board couldn’t certify their petitions. Frank Shapiro and Steve Watern expressed an interest in running for the seat, but their petition

didn’t pass muster. Martin pointed out petitions usually fail certification due to an insufficient number of signatures or the candidate doesn’t include their Circulators Statement, which lists the number of signatures on the petition. Because both candidates filed to run with a party, neither can get their name on the ballot as an independent nor run as a write-in candidates. “It’s one (chance) and done,” said Martin. The two candidates for sheriff weren’t the only ones to have their petitions denied. Six persons expressed an interest to represent their party and serve on the Central Committee. Those individuals who will

have to wait until the next election cycle to run again are Dave Keiser, Sue Hans, Mary Beth Erisman, Bruce Mikesell, Duane Edwards and Rita Robinett. Martin explained these candidates only need ﬁve signatures and sometimes that is all they bring in. If one of the signatures is invalid the whole petition is invalid. Only one race in the county will be contested in March. The seat currently occupied by Diane Delaplane will have three Republicans vying for the opportunity to have their name on the November ballot. Matthew Aultman, Freddie E. Dean and Joe LeMaster will be seeking votes in the Primary Elec-

tion. Leon Rogers is vying for the seat as a Democrat, but doesn’t face any challengers in the Primary. All other candidates for county ofﬁces are currently unopposed in the Primary and all are incumbents. They include Jonathan P. Hein (R), Judge of Court of Common Pleas General Division; Michael W. Rhoades (R), County Commissioner; R. Kelly Ormsby, III (R), Prosecuting Attorney; Cindy Pike (R), Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas; Linda Stachler (R), Recorder; Scott J. Zumbrink (D), Treasurer; Jim Surber (D), Engineer; and Timothy Kathman (R), Coroner. These candidates could face opposition from

an Independent in the fall. Central Committee candidates are as follows: James S. Detling (R), Greenville City 1-A; Edward W. Curry (D) and Linda Stoltz (R), Greenville City 1-C; Doris Howdieshell (R), Greenville City 2-A; Matthew Jordan (D), Greenville City 3-A; David Capowski (D) and Cindy Pike (R), Greenville City 3-C; Dave W.

be wrong. They knocked on the door, got no response, then opened it. Hamilton fell onto the kitchen floor. Witnesses threw water on him but he didn’t respond. Officers tried to wake Hamilton up with no success. Greenville Township Rescue was able to revive him. Hamilton denied doing anything, saying he was only sleeping. Police found a capsule containing residue in the trash can and two syringe lids in the sink. Hamilton was alert and refused to go to the hospital. The report is being sent to the prosecutor for possible charges. On December 18 police observed the defendant (unnamed in the report) operating a vehicle on South Broadway at a high rate of speed. As the defendant turned onto Martin Street he drove off the right side and hit the curb. Police conducted a traffic stop. The officer detected an odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the

vehicle. The defendant stated he had consumed three beers prior to driving. The officer also detected the strong odor of marijuana. The defendant admitted to possessing a bag of marijuana and handed it to the officer, along with a pipe. The substance field tested as marijuana; the pipe had burnt vegetation inside that had the odor of marijuana. The defendant passed the field sobriety test; he was cited for possession of marijuana and warned for lanes of travel violation. DUI On December 17 police were dispatched to the 200 block of Euclid Avenue regarding a defendant allegedly running his vehicle up into someone’s yard and almost hitting a house. The officer found Shawn Smith sitting in his vehicle, stopped in the middle of the roadway. He was asked to roll down his window; instead he started to drive away. The officer

ordered him to stop; he refused and kept driving. He drove around the block and parked in his yard at 231 Euclid Ave., went into his house and shut the garage door behind him. Two officers knocked on his door and a short time later Smith opened the door and asked what the officers wanted. When questioned why he didn’t stop when ordered to do so he acted as if he did not know what the officer was referring to. Smith had a strong odor of alcoholic beverage on him, had glossy eyes and slurred speech. He acknowledged drinking “a few tonight.” Smith refused to take the field sobriety test and was subsequently arrested for OVI and Failing to Obey a Lawful Order of a Police Officer. He was transported to the police station and almost fell down upon exiting the police cruiser. Smith refused to take a breath test. He was issued an ALS (Administrative License Suspension), and cited for OVI and Failing to Obey a Lawful Order of a Police Officer. On December 16, police observed the defendant (unnamed in the report) on North Broadway who was known to have a suspended driver’s license. A traffic stop was conducted. The officer followed the vehicle until it stopped on Magnolia. It turned out the driver had similar physical characteristics as the registered owner (with the suspended license), who was a front seat passenger. The officer detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on the defendant. His eyes were glossy and his speech was slurred. He first stated he hadn’t drunk much, then denied any alcohol consumption

at all. While attempting to pull his driver’s license, he dropped his wallet on his lap. When asked for his proof of insurance, he handed the officer a change of address form from the post office. There was a large cooler in the center console of the vehicle containing open cans of beer. He did poorly on the field sobriety test and was arrested for OVI. At the police station it was noted he had OVI convictions in 2005, 2006 and 2014. He refused to take a breath test and was placed under ALS and cited for OVI. JUVENILE On December 21 police were dispatched to an alley behind 191 Bellevernon Drive regarding two male juveniles shooting a BB gun at a house. The complainant said they damaged two windows in the back of the home. The boys said they were shooting at an aerosol can propped against a wooden barrier, not at the house. However, two windows were found to have been damaged by BBs. The boys were issued citations for criminal damaging and released to their parents.

JH Art Club students bring cheer to Rest Haven residents GREENVILLE - Making connections between generations is always important, particularly around the holidays. To bring joy to residents and to cultivate a spirit of generosity in students, the Greenville Junior High Art Club recently engaged in a service learning project. Under the guidance of South Middle School art teacher Julie Brewer, students wrote letters to residents of Rest Haven asking about their favorite colors, animals, and hobbies. With the help of Rest Haven activities director Lynelle Miller, students received responses from the residents. Based on the residents’ feedback, students created

individualized paintings using supplies generously provided by the Greenville Art Guild. After lots of hard work, and input from art club volunteer and local artist Tracy Onoz, students were ready to deliver their paintings to residents on the Friday before Christmas. Residents felt the delight of being thought of in such a special light, and students felt the great gift of giving as paintings were unwrapped. Paintings ranged from laughing squirrels and colorful butterﬂies to abstract blues and childhood homes, creating quite a diverse exhibition in almost a dozen rooms at this long-term care facility.

That was when he decided he wanted to get serious about photography. Such is the case for a lot of great photography, Jacobs noted prior to his artist presentation at Bears Mill Dec. 11. He is a featured artist, along with the Millrace Potters Collective unveiling their new “Six over Six” pottery collection. The works of both will be on display at the Mill for the next couple of months. Unique to the Jacobs display is it is not all his own work. About half of the photos were taken by his uncle, Robert Dunn, who photographed Paris following WWII, then Mexico in the 1950s and 60s. “I can remember he used to show his slides to neighbors,” Jacobs added. When Dunn passed away, Jacobs inherited his estate. He found the old slides buried and forgotten, many in various degrees of deterioration. He purchased a film scanner and the first full version of Photoshop and got to work. Photoshop made restoration of the slides possible, but it also made it possible for him to achieve the level of photography he desired. He spent a week and a half ‘fixing’ one of his uncle’s slides. He also used the new software to take a ‘poor’ shot in a slum area and ‘pull’ out a strong focal point. Jacobs referenced one of his display photos… a girl looking out of her window and smoking a

cigarette. “Bob always saw things through the eyes of a photographer,” Jacobs said. “I have to look through the eyes of a photographer and a digital editor.” The Millrace Potters Collective is a group of local potters who are friends with a unique connection to Bears Mill. Dionne Mayhew, Rita Wiley, Loretta Wray and Julie Clark “share common things” but have different styles. They worked collectively to create Six over Six, a collection designed exclusively for Bears Mill. It consists of 12 items, from a mug and small bowl to a baking dish and 3-set of canisters. In addition to creating a unique collection of handmade pottery items, they worked on a glaze that would make them more utilitarian. “That glaze took a lot of time to perfect,” Clark said. “We experimented until we were able to say… Yes! This is what we want.” Six over Six, Jacobs and Dunn’s photos are available for purchase at Bears Mill. Executive Director Marti Goetz was delighted with the turnout… about 35 people were there, about all the Julie Clark Art Gallery could hold at one time. “I like that we combine 2-dimensional (the photos) with 3-dimensional (the pottery) art,” she said. “It makes it more interesting… pulls everything together.”

ON YOUR MIND

Finnarn supports changes to CAUV COLUMBUS – On Dec. 15, Theodore O. Finnarn, local attorney and Ohio Farmers Union representative, offered support for a bill in the Ohio House to update and clarify computations of the Current Agricultural Use Valuation (CAUV) law that will help Ohio Farmers stay on their land and preserve and protect “conservation” acres in Ohio. Finnarn spoke before the House Agricultural and Rural Development Committee, telling members that he and Ohio Farmers Union members support HB 398 which would improve the formula for determining CAUV values for real property taxation in Ohio. According to Finnarn, a long-time member of the Ag Advisory Committee to the Ohio Department of Taxation, “this much needed legislation clarifies and better defines the factors used to determine the capitalization-interest rate component used in our CAUV calculations.” Recently, CAUV values for rural property owners have sky-rocketed tremendously with increases as high as 200-300 percent, leading to a heavy and unwarranted tax burden switch onto the backs of Ohio farmers. With this modification of the capitalization rate Finnarn noted, “we will achieve CAUV values that are closer to the actual income-producing ability of Ohio farmland and thus realize the original purpose and policy of the CAUV law, which is to

allow farmland owners to pay reasonable real estate taxes based on a farm’s “use” rather than its speculative fair market value. The bill (which has companion legislation in the Senate – SB 246) also provides that CAUV land used in a conservation practice, either state or federal program, would be valued at the lowest value assigned on the basis of soil type. This requirement would encourage farmers to engage in practices that protect the environment and water quality. Currently, under the CAUV rules, farmers are discouraged from participating in these programs because the farmland is taxed as though it is producing crops. The legislation would provide that conservation acres under CAUV would be valued at the minimum values used in the formula which would be appropriate because these lands are not producing any crops or income. Ohio Farmers Union led the effort to adopt the CAUV constitutional amendment in the Fall of 1973 and has been instrumental in the development of the CAUV law. Finnarn, representing the Ohio Farmers Union, has been on the CAUV Ag Advisory Committee to the Division of Tax Equalization, Department of Taxation since its beginning in 1976 and helped to put together the original CAUV law and regulations. He is sometimes referred to as “Mr. CAUV”.

Grand Lake St. Marys remains a priority S i n c e Gov. John K a s i c h took office nearly five years ago, JAMES ZEHRINGER he has led the charge DIRECTOR to improve Ohio Dept.

Thank you for your Kasich input at Coffees signs bills BY MIKE STEGALL DARKE CO. COMMISSIONER

Before I became Commissioner, I decided I would go out once a month and try and meet people over coffee and breakfast to let them know what I thought, and let people tell me what they thought a commissioner should be. I called those events “Coffee with the Candidate.” They were always entertaining, and let me reach people so we could share ideas and concerns. This January, I start my sixth year as Commissioner. I have continued this tradition, now known as “Coffee with the Commissioner.” I intend to do so as long as I serve, because I believe that people deserve to be able to talk with their elected ofﬁcials face to face, in an informal setting where you and I are both more comfortable. I want the people of Darke County to have access to me, and to realize that all of our elected ofﬁcials are also willing to meet with people and discuss their jobs. They may not do it like I do, but they are always willing to help, if you just ask. Over the years, I have learned what people think, and what they want, and what they see as problems we need to solve. I appreciate the honesty. I have

been told everything, as you can imagine, but I do not mind criticism. I try very hard to do the right thing, but nobody can do things right all the time, especially when you are trying to represent 53,000 people! By my doing these Coffees I am giving you the chance to speak your mind, good or bad. This is what I think I am supposed to do, be accessible, and listen! Communication is the key to understanding each other. I want to take the time to say “Thank You” to the people of Darke County for making these visits informative and worthwhile. I am truly thankful for all of you who take the time to participate on those Saturday mornings. Meeting elected ofﬁcials I am sure ranks right below having a root canal, but I think it is important that we continue to talk. I will continue with these after the Holidays, resuming on Jan. 9, 2016, at the Wayne Lakes Park Gatehouse from 8-10 a.m. May God bless all of you this Thanksgiving and Christmas Season, and may 2016 be the best year you have ever had! THANK YOU again for making this job the best with your kind words, deeds and suggestions.

COLUMBUS –Governor John R. Kasich recently signed the following pieces of legislation into law:  Sub. S.B. 208 (Beagle) modifies the commercial activity tax exclusion for receipts from the sale of certain consumer products within an integrated supply chain; makes technical changes to the state income tax law, providing that, for the 2015 taxable year, any taxable business income under $125,000 for married taxpayers filing separately or $250,000 for other taxpayers is subject to graduated tax rates similar to those applicable to nonbusiness income, while business income in excess of those amounts remains subject to the existing 3-percent flat tax; modifies the formula for calculating reimbursement payments to school districts for their loss of tangible personal property tax revenue; and establishes a formula for making supplemental foundation aid payments to school districts in fiscal year 2017.  Am. H.B. 244 (Speaker Rosenberger, T. Johnson) designates the tenth day of November as Armed Services, Peace Officer, First Responder, and Dual Service Recognition Day.

Mercer County. The Governor left understanding the important roles agriculture and tourism play in western Ohio and how integral the health of our lake was to the community. During his first week as Governor, he talked about how important improving water quality would be for Ohio, and his commitment to that has never wavered. We can say now that we are making strides, and many people are taking notice. For instance, anglers visiting Grand Lake St Marys will tell you that the fishing has been great over the last several seasons. Anglers looking for bass, catfish, blue gill or crappie rarely leave the lake disappointed. Grand Lake also played host to 48 fishing tournaments during 2015, which bring not only participants, but their families as well to the area to enjoy the lake and the community. Additionally, these visitors are likely part of the growing number of people that are coming to spend their weekends at Grand Lake. Comparing our numbers from 2014 to 2015, the state park saw an increase of 14 percent for campsites used and an increase of 11 percent in getaway rentals. The local Chamber of Commerce has indicated that they too are seeing an increase in overnight stays,

and the Greater Grand Lake Visitors Center received a record amount of revenue from the lodging tax paid by those overnight visitors. The community is beginning to rebound, and we want to see that continue and intend to work hard each day to help make sure it does. That hard work began in earnest the day Gov. Kasich took office. Since that time, we have launched an aggressive dredging program to remove the nutrient-rich sediment that feeds harmful algae, and treatment trains have been built to treat water prior to it flowing from the watershed into the lake. Additionally, farmers have taken great strides to keep nutrients on their fields and out of the waterways that flow into the lake, and fishing events aimed at removing the rough fish that stir up the nutrient-rich sediment have been common on the lake. These efforts not only help improve the quality of the water in the lake, but they demonstrate the commitment we have to this community and to making the lake healthy. Progress is being made as: * All 141 unpermitted livestock farmers in the Grand Lake St. Marys watershed have completed comprehensive nutrient

management plans (CNMPs) for their land. These plans are just one example to show how hard these farm families are working to put into practice farming techniques that help keep nutrients on their fields and out of the waterways that feed into our lakes. * More than 1.2 million cubic yards of sediment has been removed from the lake in the last four years. This includes 365,000 cubic yards of sediment that was removed this year. * We worked with the community to provide two treatment trains at Prairie Creek and Coldwater Creek, which feed into Grand Lake. These treatment trains are useful as they mimic the natural work typically done by wetlands and water dosing to help filter runoff before it flows into the lake. Despite what some may say, this problem wasn’t created overnight, and it will take time to heal the lake. Our goal has always been to focus on a multiyear, multi-faceted approach to reducing the phosphorus in Grand Lake. We are making progress. We are committed to not only creating a healthier Grand Lake St. Marys, but a healthier Lake Erie, a healthier Ohio River and to improve water quality throughout Ohio.

Greenville BGC gets donation from The Sorority GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A big thank you and much appreciation goes to â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Sororityâ&#x20AC;? (recently renamed) members (Diane Amick, Sharon Buchy, Paula Cox, Marty Davis, Jean Derr, Carolyn Hemmelgarn, Carol Hemmerich, Ruth Koverman, Kayann Kretschmar, Margy Manix, Judy Middleton, Joan Mote, Becky Muhlenkamp, Judy Rhynard, Susan Schaar, and Stephanie Szymansky) for their most recent $750 donation and for hosting this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas Pizza Party for the Greenville Boys and Girls Club (BGC). Several of the ladies enjoy spending time tutoring the children, one on one, which is a big help to them. Director Tom Jen425 Memorial Dr. Greenville, OH 45331

kins said their donation will go toward arts and craft materials, some new games for Xbox 360, and some pots and pans for the kitchen that is in the planning stage. The children are usually hungry and love to eat so they are learning the responsibilities of cooking and how to make meals with nutritional ingredients that are also easy to make. They have attended several of KitchenAidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cooking classes to learn the fundamental basics, which they like to bring back to the club and duplicate. The BGC currently has 40 members, which is up almost 25-percent from just a year ago. There are usually three adults who monitor the club on a

daily basis and more when the club has special trips. The clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main goal is to make each child feel good about themselves and have some social activities outside of school. The BGC always accepts donations of various items. They are currently looking for bicycles that can be ďŹ xed up and given to some of their less fortunate members. If you would like to learn more about BGC or to make a material or cash donation, contact BGC Director Tom Jenkins at 547-1122. The BGC is located at 613 S. Broadway in Greenville and the membership fee is $2 per year, which includes a BGC t-shirt. The club is open Monday-Thursday from 4-8 p.m. and Saturday 11 a.m.-4 p.m.

Boys youth basketball takes to the courts BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

NEW MADISON – TriVillage hosted Greenville’s fourth, fifth and sixth grade boys basketball teams Sunday afternoon in the high school gym. The TV fourth graders won 17-13 in the first contest of the day with the Patriots’ fifth graders winning the second game of the day 35-8 over the visitors. “We try to practice at least twice a week,” said TriVillage sixth grade coach

Randy Linkous. “Sometimes we only get one but our goal is to get at least two times in the gym a week.” The ﬁnal game had the boys from New Madison sweeping the three games on the afternoon with a 4029 win over Greenville to improve their season record to 2-0. “We have a pretty good group of boys that are very athletic,” Linkous said. “They work hard. They come out and spend time in the gym and that’s what it’s

about.” “Tri-Village… you look, this team has a lot of the guys (sons) that were on that ﬁrst state run team,” said Greenville sixth grade coach Josh Gilmore. “It’s a basketball town.” “We played hard,” added Gilmore. “I’m proud of my guys. We were down… we came back… we didn’t quit. Everybody got to play. That’s what it’s all about at this age. This is all about getting Greenville brighter.”

VERSAILLES – Justin Ahrens tossed in 34 points to lead Versailles over the Urbana Hillclimbers 67-54 Wednesday night. “I thanked them for the early Christmas gift… Christmas will be a lot more enjoyable getting this one,” said Versailles Coach Scott McEldowney. “Urbana is a very good team.” The Tigers held a 17-8 lead at 2:09 in the first with Urbana battling back to trail 19-14 with 0:59 on the clock. A Justin Ahrens steal and slam dunk with 0:19 showing and a Hillclimbers basket at 0:03 had the Tigers up 21-16 after one. Justin Ahrens had the hot hand in period No. 1 knocking down five field goals, two three-pointers and a free throw to lead the Tigers with 17 first quarter points. “He (Justin Ahrens) was kind of hot,” McEldowney quipped. “He’s been shooting extremely well and takes the ball to the basket well. He’s taking quality shots and when he’s shooting it that well it’s tough to say a lot. He’s a tough matchup.” Versailles would push its halftime lead to 39-31 with the aid of a Brett McEldowney long three pointer at the buzzer. The Tigers would see their eight point lead dwindle away to trail 41-39 and 43-41 with 3:01 on the third quarter clock.

“When we got a little lead they battled right back,” said McEldowney. “The game kind of went back and forth. We hit a couple nice stretches we were able to stretch it out… then kind of play come get us and be able to expand the lead.” Versailles would right the ship and score nine unanswered points ending with an alley-oop from sophomore AJ Ahrens’ perfect setup pass to twin brother Justin slamming the ball through the net for a 50-43 Tigers lead. “They’ve tried it in practice before a time or two,” chuckled McEldowney. “It usually scares me a little bit

but that one wasn’t so bad. The defense came out and it was a good pass.” A Climbers basket was answered by a Justin Ahrens trey at 0:03 with Versailles taking a 55-45 advantage to the final period of play. By 3:29 in the fourth Versailles had extended its lead to 65-47 with the final basket of the night from the starters coming by way of a two-handed J. Ahrens slam dunk making way for coach McEldowney to clear his bench to close out the game. Justin Ahrens led all scorers in the game with 34 points including five treys.

Versailles wrestlers win own Invite BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

Right direction leads to Ansonia win BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

ANSONIA – Ansonia used the ﬁrst three quarters to build a 12 point lead, 38-26 and hold off an Arcanum Trojans 18 point fourth quarter comeback attempt. “We are heading in the right direction,” said Ansonia Coach Chad Cramer. “We’re not a ﬁnished product by any means. We’re coming. We still have a lot of work to do.” The Tigers used a trey each from 5’10” freshman Devyn Sink and 6’1” sophomore Trevor Alexander to build a 12-9 lead after one. Ansonia would extend its lead by one going to the break taking a 21-17 advantage that included Alexanders second three of the half.

Brayden Swabb, a 5’10” sophomore had the hot hand for the Tigers in period No. 3 knocking down three triples to widen the home team’s lead to 38-26 after three. “He was struggling coming in but he’s a shooter… that is what he can do,” said Cramer. “The game was kind of speeding up on him a bit. It’s starting to slow down for him where he doesn’t feel like he has to rush to get his shot off. He wasn’t hitting any rim tonight.” “He (Swabb) hit three big ones there,” said Bixler. “Scored two points on the year. Give him credit. He stepped up and knocked them down. We closed out hands down on a couple of those and he took advantage of it.”

The Trojans fourth quarter 18 points helped cut Ansonia’s lead to ﬁve with 2:58 showing but the comeback fell short as the young Tigers took advantage at the charity stripe knocking down 8-of-12 to hold off Arcanum and claim a 52-44 win. Ansonia 6’3” freshman Hunter Muir and Brayden Swabb led all scorers in the game with 11 points each. Arcanum senior Austin Baker let the Trojans with 10 points. “The two freshmen; Hunter (Muir) and Devyn (Sink) made some real key plays for us down the stretch,” Cramer said. “Dane Wentworth made a couple pull-up jumpers… kind of to give us that cushion. A lot of guys stepped up and made plays.”

VERSAILLES – The Versailles Tigers took first place in their own Versailles Invite varsity wresting meet Saturday. “We’re doing pretty good,” said Versailles Coach A. J. Bey. “We have a really solid team… good kid in each weight class. Outstanding kids. It is really good dual meet team.” “We have been very fortunate,” continued Bey. “I think that contributes to our little kids program and our Junior High coaches. They do a great job.” After initial rounds of head-to-head robin matches the four teams with the best results were seeded 1-through-4 to decide the winner of the event. Covington took the first seed position followed by Versailles at No. 2 seed, St Marys Memorial third and Arcanum filling the fourth seed. Versailles defeated Covington in the finals in

Lady Jets tame Panthers BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

PITSBURG – The FM Lady Jets got their first win of the season defeating the Twin Valley South Lady Panthers 48-31. “It was a good win for our team… first one of the year,” said first year Franklin Monroe Coach Abbey Moore. “Glad to get it out of the way. Now so we can move on.” The Lady Jets darted out to a double digit first quarter lead taking a 14-4 advantage to second period play behind Carrie Baker’s two three-pointers and field goal. “We have been working hard in practice and putting up the shots,” Moore said. “I told the girls the more you get in the gym, the more you shoot the more they are going to fall in the game. We’ve been doing that and it showed tonight.” FM would stretch its halftime lead to 29-16 with Baker burring two second-quarter treys to go along with five Kinsey Goins points and four Hannah Eley points. “First half Carrie Baker my senior stepped it up,” said Moore. “She has put the time in… really going hard.” “We knew she (Baker) was going to be shooting from that corner… we knew it,” said South Coach Jeff Case. “She hit a couple

They deserve it.” Quarter No. 3 had the home team adding nine points to the board while holding South to ﬁve taking a 38-21 lead to the ﬁnal period of play. The Lady Panthers would match the Jets’ 10 fourth quarter points giving the Lady Jets a 48-31 CCC win. “It was a good team win for us,” Moore said. “Everybody put the effort in on defense working together.” “We were able to get the ball inside… did a lot

Wave JV win OT thriller at Tecumseh BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

NEW CARLISLE – The Greenville JV basketball team used three overtime periods to defeat a stubborn Tecumseh Arrows team 50-43 Saturday night on the Arrows home court. “Exciting game,” said Greenville JV Coach Bart Schmitz. “The kids didn’t back down. That is what I am most proud of. Even when things weren’t going good, when things weren’t going our way we found a way to fight through it and continue to get better. It was a great game.” Neither team lit up the scoreboard in first quarter play as the Green Wave found themselves looking at a 7-4 deficit after one. Greenville took a slim 13-11 lead at the break outscoring the home team 9-4 in period No. 2 and built the lead to three points by adding nine third quarter points while the home team was putting eight points in the book sending the teams to the final quarter of play with the Wave holding a 22-19 advantage. Tecumseh outscored the

Wave 13-10 in the fourth period knotting the score a 32-32 sending the game to overtime. The Arrows had the game in hand late in the first overtime period holding a five point lead only to have the Wave make up the deficit and send the game to the second overtime period where the teams closed out the second overtime tied requiring a third OT period. “We got down five points… I called a timeout,” stated Schmitz. “Tried to calm them down… remind them of doing things the right way. That is what we try to teach here at the JV level. You do things the right way you’ll be put in good spots to be able win and to do things better.” The Greenville boys saved their best for last outscoring Tecumseh by seven points to win the non-conference game 5043 in triple overtime. “They showed everybody here what they are made of,” Coach Schmitz said. “That’s a team win. Everybody shines… everybody does their part. I am really proud of them. Great Win.”

better job of handling the ball so that we were able to get it inside,” stated Moore. “That has been our struggles the last couple of games… not handling the ball and not able to take advantage of our size. We were able to do that today. Our ball handlers did their job and then inside Kinsey (Goins) and Hannah (Eley) were able to ﬁnish.”

Lady Indians clinch conference title BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY, Ind. – With a victory over Tri High School Tuesday evening, the Union City Lady Indians varsity basketball program clinched at least a share of the Tri-Eastern Conference title. The win moved UC to (11-2) overall and (6-0) in the conference. The Lady Indians played most of the game without their speedy point guard, Justiss Cantu, who was battling an illness that kept her off of the court for long periods at a time. The sick 5′-1″ sophomore was able to knock down a 3-pointer for her team. “It definitely messed with our lineup, not having her (Cantu) in there. Our quickness and ball handling were affected, but the other girls stepped it up and did a great job for us,” said UC head coach Sarah Hines. Turnovers hurt the Lady Indians early in the game, but were able to hold the Lady Titans to just 17 points in the first half – taking a 23-17 lead into the locker room. Tri-High was able to fight back, taking a 27-25 point lead with 4:30 to go in the third quarter. That would be the only

lead UC would give up the rest of the night… ﬁnishing with a 54-48 ﬁnal score. Union City senior Madeline Adams led the team in scoring – with 19 points… while junior forward Courtney Wise followed with 14 for the Lady Indians offense. UC juniors Kora Kerns and Baylee Hartman each added eight points in the game. “One of our keys to the game was holding them (Tri) from getting offensive rebounds, which the girls did very well tonight,” Hines noted. “Tri has a nice all around team so each of our girls had to do their part in order to seal the deal tonight!”

The Lady Indians will have a seven-day break before hosting the Union City Holiday Tournament Dec. 29-30. They will have another short breather before hitting the road for the County Tournament at Monroe Central on Jan. 8, 2016. “I told the girls we have the second half of the season to go. We just need to think about our next game and not look ahead,” added Coach Hines. “It looks like our ﬁnal game of the season against Hagerstown may be the deciding factor for if we claim the title outright or have to share it again this year.”

Versailles late surge tops Trojans BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

ARCANUM – Arcanum and Versailles went head-to-head in a much anticipated girls basketball game with Versailles pulling away in the fourth quarter for a 57-47 win. “They are a nice team,” said Versailles Coach Jacki Stonebraker. “They know how to play together. They get to the basket.” “Give Versailles a lot of credit,” said Arcanum Coach Matt Grote. “They are a very good team. They played very hard all the way through. Deep bench… that’s tough” “We played hard,” added Grote. “We knew what we wanted to do. We executed our game plan pretty

well. We were in it till the end. Can’t ask much more of our girls.” The Lady Tigers held an opening 11-5 ﬁrst quarter lead with Arcanum cutting Versailles’ edge to 13-11 with the period coming to a close only to have Kami McEldowney launch a three-pointer from midcourt with 0:00 showing as the ball slid through the net giving the visitors a 1611 lead after one. A Kami Ording trey opened second quarter scoring to put the visitors up 19-11. Both teams displayed a balance second quarter scoring attack with ﬁve Lady Trojans getting on the board and six Versailles Tigers making it in the scoring column includ-

ing a team 7-10 at the line to lead 32-26 at the break. Arcanum used the third quarter to outscore the Lady Tigers 13-11 with the teams heading to the ﬁnal period with Versailles holding a 43-39 advantage. “Full-court press the whole game back and forth,” said Grote. “We got to the basket when we needed to made some shots… just not quite enough.” A Stevie Johnting drive to the hoop at 5:18 had Arcanum closing in at 4543 but it was the Lady Tigers outscoring the home team 12-4 the balance of the game to win by a 57-47 score. “We called a timeout… we set up our defense and

said we have to have a stop here,” said Stonebraker. “We cannot be tied with them. We have to have a stop. The crowd was with them and we needed to make sure that we got that defensive rebound.” Kami McEldowney led all scorers in the game with 14 points including 2 three-pointers.

Christmas comes early for local Soldier GAYLEN BLOSSER

This Darke County Highway crew is assembling fabricated pieces for the superstructure of a bridge that will be put up this summer. Once assembled to make sure everything ﬁts, the pieces will be disassembled to be galvanized for longevity. (Bob Robinson photo)

In-house bridge fabrication saves taxpayer dollars BOB ROBINSON

ASSOCIATE EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – “These guys are getting it down to a science,” said Darke County Engineer Jim Surber, watching County Highway personnel assemble fabricated steel pieces for a bridge to be replaced this summer. The steel was being fabricated and assembled in a storage building at the highway department. “In the past, we had to order the fabricated pieces,” he said. Shane Coby, County Highway Superintendent, added “That’s why we can do 13 bridges instead of two.” The plan for the summer is 13 bridges… six will be new structures, seven will be rehabs. “Doing our own fabrication for the bridge superstructure represents a 70 percent savings,” Coby added. Surber noted they were also doing it with county employees. “They are on the payroll, regardless of the job they’re working on.” Put in dollar ﬁgures, the average cost per bridge is $40 to $50 thousand. If the same work was done through the traditional bidding process, the price tag for the summer could run as high as $1.5 million. “Even so, we’re limited,” Surber said. “Since 2003, Ohio law prohibits a county engineer from building any bridges costing over $100,000… and we have to build in inﬂationary cost. If a bridge is going to cost $50 or $60 thousand, my estimate has to be $80 thousand.” At the same time, if the traditional “bid” method is used, it could be any amount as long as it’s within

10 percent of the engineer’s estimate, or as Surber put it, “the sky’s the limit.” The legislative logic, as he has been told, is they are meeting the needs and desires of all their constituents. Acknowledging the work his crew is doing, Surber added “you can’t buy the quality of fabrication we are building compared to what we were buying before.” He added in the past the pieces didn’t always come together the way they should. “These things ﬁt!” he said. Surber is noted for doing more for less to maintain Darke County roads and bridges. He has often said while expenses continue to rise, his revenue has been static. His challenges include having to maintain 531 bridges, the most in Ohio and the 10th highest number of bridges behind larger counties in the western states. The average number of bridges in Ohio is 297. One example of his efforts to keep costs under control is a 1963 crane he thought he would have to replace when he became the Darke County Engineer in 1977. He’s still using it. Why? “Because it works,” he said. “We have a huge responsibility,” he continued. “We also have a shortage of funds… we’re always trying to ﬁnd ways to save money and still meet the needs of our constituents.” The Highway Department is currently fabricating the superstructure for four bridges: Brown, Shaffer, Braffetsville-North and Jaysville-St. Johns roads.

BBBS uses Walmart funds for mentoring DARKE CO. – Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke County is honored to be the recipient of a donation from the Walmart Foundation. This funding will be used to support the Big Brothers Big Sisters “Big Buddies” after school Mentoring program, which currently has around 150 freshman, sophomores, junior, and senior students mentoring elementary children across the two-county area. The High School Mentoring program known as “Big Buddies” is a nine month commitment where volunteer high school students mentor elementary students after-school hours at their elementary sites. Darke County sites include Ansonia, Woodland Heights and Versailles. All sessions last

approximately 1.5 hours and mentors work one-on-one with students on activities that center around a positive life skills curriculum. All sessions are supervised and activities facilitated by trained agency personnel. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke County is a nonprofit United Way Partner organization whose mission is to develop and mature quality relationships between children and volunteers. The relationship is meant to guide each child towards becoming a confident, competent, and caring individual.

LUNCH SERVED EVERY THURSDAY

NEW CARLISLE – Christmas came early for family and friends of Private Christian Bennett in a surprise halftime visit at the Greenville JV basketball game at Tecumseh High School Saturday evening. As the PA announcer asked all in attendance to look to the northeast corner of the gym, 2015 GHS graduate PVT Bennett made his surprise entrance to a standing ovation from an appreciative crowd and a tearful reunion with family and friends. “I am truly blessed to have the opportunity to come home over the holidays,” said PVT Bennett. “Being able to surprise them all was amazing!” Maria Bennett, mother of PVT Bennett arranged the halftime homecoming to the sheer surprise of sisters Bre and Bailey a sophomore varsity GHS cheerleader, girlfriend Cassandra Shellabarger and GHS varsity basketball team members; cousin Chris Force and best friend Codi Byrd. “Having him home is huge for us this year,” said Maria. “We have had so many changes this past year. Having my kids with me right now means everything because each day is a true blessing for us.” “We didn’t know how much we would miss him… but we did,” said Bailey. “Just glad we have him here with us for a few weeks,” added Bre. “It was such an amazing feeling seeing him walk into the gym,” shared Cassandra. “I couldn’t have asked for a better Christmas present.” Bennett joined the

United States Army as a 17 year old in March of 2015 and after graduating from Greenville High School spent nearly ﬁve months in Basic and Advanced Infantry (11B MOS) training at Fort Benning, Georgia. “I am honored that my son chose to serve as his father and many other family members before him,” said Christian’s mother Maria. “He could have chosen anything and he wanted to serve his country before anything else.” Bennett had 48-hours notice that he was approved for a 16 day leave allowing him to be home for the holidays. Upon completion of his leave, PVT Bennett will report to his Fort Bliss, Texas duty station before deploying to Iraq for no less than eight month. “Having so many who have served before me come to me at the game and thank me for my service was humbling,” said PVT Christian Bennett. “I have huge shoes to ﬁll and I refuse to

let them down.” “I would like to thank everyone for helping and

Big Buddies program matches District ‘Bigs’ with ‘Littles’ BOB ROBINSON

ASSOCIATE EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

ANSONIA – While Big Brothers Big Sisters is better known for its one-onone match between adults (Bigs) and youngsters (Littles) who can beneﬁt from mentoring, there is a growing Big Buddies program where high school students meet with their younger counterparts to help with homework, activities and more. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke Counties currently has programs in Versailles, Ansonia and Woodland Heights. “We meet twice a month,” said Becca Cotterman, BBBS Program Coordinator, at Ansonia Elementary School on Dec. 15. “The Bigs help them (the Littles) with their homework, play games with them… and help in a variety of activities.” With the Christmas holidays coming up, the kids were taught to make reindeer by tracing their hands, then adding antlers, eyes, etc. They also get snacks and, during the fall and spring have a playtime on the playground; dur-

ing the winter they walk around the building. “We have to give them a chance to burn off that energy,” Cotterman said. A plus for the program, according to Cotterman, is having “Kits for Kidz.” BBBS obtained a grant allowing them to purchase a kit for each child in all the Darke County schools. The kits run about $15 each and they can be used all year long. “At the end of the year, the kids take the kits home,” Cotterman said. Another aspect of the program has to do with positive life choices. “We touch on safety with guns and avoiding drugs, but mostly focus on self-esteem and the concept of ‘Stop… Think… Go’.” Like they do with the Big Brothers and Big Sisters, they try to keep longevity with their matches. “We have a couple 3-year matches this year,” Cotterman said. “We’re allowing freshmen to participate to promote that, and would love to have some seniors come back.” In the Ansonia program second year, there are 16 Littles and 21 Bigs.

Tips when searching for a tattoo artist BY JOHN NORTH PRESIDENT/CEO BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU

Tom and Peggy Hill of Versailles who are afﬁliated with the Honor Flight RV program are shown with the FAS team.

from Springﬁeld, Ohio, The Honor Flight Network has safely transported tens of thousands of veterans from all across the United States, providing disability and travel accommodations, meals as well as air and road transportation. The mission of the Honor Flight Network is to transport America’s Veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit those memorials to honor their sacriﬁces. Top priority is given to America’s most senior veterans — survivors of World War II — and any veterans with a terminal illness who wish to visit their memorials. FAS became acquainted with the Honor Flight program over a year ago through clients of 15 years, Tom and Peggy Hill of Versailles (pictured with the FAS team), who

are affiliated with the Honor Flight RV Program. The Honor Flight RVC (Recreational Vehicle Convoy) is an alternate method of traveling to Washington, D.C. for those WWII, Korean or Vietnam veterans who choose not to fly. This year’s RV trip took place Sept. 11-13. A convoy of 8 motor homes drove 28 local veterans and 24 support people to Washington D.C. where they visited the WWII, Korean, Vietnam, and Marines memorials as well as Arlington National Cemetery and the Women in Military Service to America Memorial. This is the second year FAS has supported the Honor Flight mission. They have chosen to support this cause due to their strong connections to current and former military personnel who are family, friends, and FAS clients. Matt Arnold, FAS owner and president says, “The Honor Flight RV Chapter trip is a unique opportunity for local veterans regardless of age or financial situation to visit their national memorials. Many of our veterans would not be able to take a trip like this on their own and may never get to see the memorials that have been dedicated to them. These people deserve to see their heroism honored. That’s why our company feels fortunate that we are able to help them on their memorable journeys.” To learn more about the Honor Flight Network, to apply, or to get involved, visit http:// www.honorflight. org or call (937) 521-2400.

The tattoo artist industry has grown over the past ﬁve years, partly due to pop culture, which has made tattoos less culturally taboo. Additionally, individuals have continued to demand customized tattoos with intricate designs, rather than predesigned tattoos. So, before you get inked up, check with your Better Business Bureau to help you pick a tattoo artist. The tattoo industry is big business, bringing in an estimated $2.3 million annually. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, an estimated 45 million Americans have at least one tattoo. Over the last year, your BBB recorded about 600 inquiries locally about tattoo shops. Nationally, your BBB received more than 62,000 inquiries about this industry. When choosing a tattoo artist, your BBB offers these tips: * Get recommendations from friends and family. If they’re pleased with their tattoo artist, most likely you will be too. * Visit and compare several tattoo shops. Every tattoo artist should have a portfolio of work he or she has done. * Know what you want. Look through tattoo magazines and directories. Even Pinterest can provide ideas. * Attend tattoo shows if possible. The chance to be tattooed by some of the best artists around the country happens at these shows. * Find out how long the tattoo shop has been in business. * Make sure the facility is clean and well-maintained and ask how often equipment is sanitized. * Look for a tattoo artist who offers aftercare advice.

* Make sure the tattoo artist is licensed, carries appropriate insurance and meets local and state requirements. * Keep location in mind. Try to ﬁnd one close to home, work or school just in case you need to go back. * Ask about appointments. What is the average waiting time before appointments? * Make sure you feel comfortable with the tattoo artist. If you don’t like him or her, you’ll be less likely to get another tattoo or recommend him or her. * Ask the tattoo artist about his or her specialties. * Find out if a tattoo artist is a member of an association like the

Association of Professional Tattoo Artists or the National Tattoo Association. * Don’t be afraid to ask questions. If you have any questions regarding tattoo artists you can always

get help from your BBB, such as a list of BBB Accredited tattoo artists and Business Reviews on ones you’re considering. For more information, visit www.bbb.org or call (937) 222-5825 or (800) 776-5301.
