Dave Gauvey, a Greenville day looms, children sometimes wonder if Santa Claus ever takes native and Greenville High School graduate (Class of 1956) time off from his full-time occupation at the North Pole. Parents who now resides in Gatesville, and grandparents are often asked Texas, goes by the nickname

“Santa Dave.” After spending nearly 20 years in Sales and Marketing, Gauvey went back to college completing 190 semesters hours in three years to complete his Baccalaureate Degree in Business and afterward, earned three Masters degrees. Having taught at various colleges for 20 years, Gauvey went into the Oil and Gas business, and in 2003, he retired to Gatesville, a small Texas community of 15,000 just outside of Fort Hood. Recently, Gauvey was honored by the community of Fort Hood as Vol-

Kindness rules on ‘Grinch Day’ Mississinawa Valley Elementary students recognized for good deeds

By Carol Marsh

DarkeCountyMedia.com

UNION CITY — Before heading back to the North Pole for last minute preparations before his Christmas Eve journey, Santa Claus came to Mississinawa Valley Elementary School for a special visit on “Grinch Day” with the students and MVS Elementary Principal, Mrs. Stephanie L.S. Kemp.

The school’s theme this quarter, “Don’t Be a Grinch, Be Kind” was displayed on the main bulletin board at the entrance of the building. Throughout the weeks leading up to “Grinch Day,” students who were spotted being kind to others were recognized by everyone in the school. This year, Elfie (a visitor from the North Pole) brought a Grinch ornament with him and told students that The Grinch Who Stole Christmas was his favorite Christmas movie because, in the end, the Grinch realized that Christmas was about love and kindness. ”Elfie, our visiting elf from the North Pole, watched for students who were kind,” said Mrs. Kemp. “When spotted, Elfie would hide in the classroom of that student the next day. The class would do the announcements and the “kind” student earned a certificate from the North Pole and had their picture displayed on the bulletin board.”

For the past three years, “Elfie” (the kindness elf) has returned to Mississinawa Valley Elementary from the North Pole.

“The first year I introduced Elfie, he had a specific act of kindness for the students to do each day. When a student was caught doing this act of kindness, Elfie would hide in that student’s classroom and students would find him the next day. The entire class would then help me do the announcements.” said Kemp.

Last year, the school added a theme to this tradition, ‘Our Kindness Shines Bright,’ and displayed the See GRINCH | 2A

Students were also encouraged to help Elfie. If they saw someone being kind, they were encouraged to write to Elfie and nominate someone.

Kemp added, “It was really sweet to see how many students nominated others.”

The students who were caught being kind by Elfie this year were: Bianca Camacho (1st Grade), Hudson Hopkins-Tucker (2nd Grade), Jade Steen (4th Grade), Jace Denney (3rd Grade), Jayde Oswalt (Kindergarten), Evelyn Hammaker (3rd Grade), Cheyenne Halley (3rd Grade), Jace Oswalt (1st Grade), Eeastan Keaser (3rd Grade), Dorian (2nd Grade), Enrique Elizondo (1st Grade), Emery Linebaugh (Kindergarten), Lillyana Douglas (Kindergarten), Easton Riffell (2nd Grade).

Unpacking the ornaments every year is a fun occasion for my husband and children, because out of the box comes the memories we’ve made over the years, — my son’s kindergarten rooster ornament, or the ‘our first Christmas together’ ornament given by a thoughtful friend many years ago – which allow us, for a few short December weeks, to slow down and remember what is most important in our lives.

Christmas ornaments have interesting origins.

The popular legend of St. Boniface, a eighth century Benedictine monk who became an apostle to the German people, provides an important back-story.

In a moment of holy zeal, he purportedly grabbed an axe and cut down Donor’s Oak (also called Thor’s Oak), a tree considered sacred by early Germanic pagans and used in ritual sacrifice. Then, St. Boniface planted a small fir tree in its place, using its triangular shape to teach the doctrine of the Trinity (God, the Father; Jesus, His son, and the Holy Ghost), much in the same way St. Patrick used the shamrock to illustrate this concept. Afterward, devout German converts began cutting down and decorating fir trees with simple white candles to commemorate this occasion and symbolize the light of Christ.

More elaborate tree decorating came much later, around 1510, in the German province of Latvia, where villagers began decorating trees with roses, symbolic of the Virgin Mary. The idea of adding color and texture to the tree grew in popularity, and by 1605, the German Rhineland seemed to be the epicenter of this new trend, with trees adorned with paper roses, lighted candles, wafers, nuts, and sweets. Igniting a new trend of beautifying indoor trees, local artisans found a new market for their skills. Families discovered thoughtful ways to adorn their trees using painted eggshells, cookies and candy. A century later, a creative silversmith invented tinsel, which allowed the tree to shimmer in dim light.

Christmas tree traditions became a holiday export from Germany to other parts of Europe, especially Great Britain, during the monarchy of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert (who was German). Hand-crafted textiles in the shape of snowflakes and holly began to appear. Hand blown glass ornaments, in various shapes, along with glass beads for trim, were colored and painted with meticulous detail by talented German craftsmen.

With this Victorian popularity, this German way of celebrating Christmas became more “American mainstream,” with tinsel made of popcorn, cranberries, and other edibles which could be used to create long strands.

By 1880, business entrepreneur, F. W. Woolworth began importing German glass ornaments, and within a decade, made over $25 million. Within a half century, many countries sought to “cash in” on this new Christmas craze, and by 1935, mass-

used with plastic molds to simulate the realistic look of stone sculptures.

Although heavier, resin ornaments are a sturdier variety, and quite often, able to withstand years of use, maintaining their shape and color. Because of their pliable nature, resin ornaments can provide a handcrafted ‘artisan’ look at a fraction of the cost.

Of course, home-made ornaments never go out of style, no matter what materials are used in their making, — especially those created by the little hands of children who are now all grown up now.

So while surveying the Christmas tree this year, notice the beauty behind all those twinkling lights and sparkling tinsel, and give thanks for the wonderful life spent makSALVAGE YARD ing and collecting these marvelous holiday attic SCHOENLEIN treasures.

Versailles police chief Humphreys set to retire Jan. 29

By Nathaniel Kubik DarkeCountyMedia.com

VERSAILLES — Mark Humphreys, Chief of Police in Versailles, recently announced his retirement, effective Jan. 29, 2021.

Humphreys was sworn into the position in August of 2004, and has spent 16 and a half years with the department. Prior to arriving in Versailles, Humphreys worked as a Miami County Sheriff’s Deputy for 25 and a half years. Humphreys, now 65 years old, has spent nearly 42 years in total working in law enforcement. When asked about his time on the job, Humphreys praised the Versailles community for its welcoming and helpful attitude.

“I think Versailles is a great community, and I have enjoyed my time as chief there,” Humphreys said.

“They have a great school and great people. It has been an absolute pleasure to work in Versailles for the past 16 years.”

Humphreys also noted that he enjoyed working with county staff, as well.

“I enjoyed working with everyone in the county,” Humphreys concluded. “I enjoyed working with all law enforcement, fire departments, EMS, disptachers, the jail, the prosecutors office — I just can’t say enough good things about Versailles and the greater Darke County community.”

When asked about his plans for retirement, Humphreys stated that he doesn’t have any concrete plans as of now. He noted he would like to find something, possibly three days a week or so, to keep him busy and out in the community.

Humphreys currently resides in Ft. Loramie with his wife Norma, where he said he will be staying for the foreseeable future. He and his wife have three kids — Jace, Ryan, and Jordyn.

The Village of Versailles has yet to publicly release who the next police chief will be. There will be a follow-up article as soon as this information becomes available.

Thanks to the donors, sponsors, and volunteers, especially those who donated during the wreath matching last Jan., attendees were able to place over 1,250 wreaths last Saturday.

The ceremony began with a twenty second moment of silence to remember the fallen, the prisoners of war, the missing in action, and to honor those who are serving, or have served in the U.S. armed forces. All in attendance then said a prayer, posted the colors, and recited the pledge of allegiance led by Boy Scout

Troops 134.

Opening remarks were delivered by Regent Brenda Arnett of the DAR. She thanked armed service veterans for their commitment to our country, and reminded all in attendance of the sacrifices made by veterans and their families.

“The United States of America was founded on the ideals of freedom, justice, and equality. Our nation stands as a beacon of liberty and freedom to the world,” Arnett said.

“We thank those who gave their lives to keep us free and we shall not forget you.

We shall remember.”

Though there were many wreaths presented on Saturday, here are a few highlights: Ron Schall presented a wreath to Steve Black, a veteran of the United States Army. Charles Shield presented a wreath to

Chuck Bowen in dedication to his service in the U.S. Marine Corps. Andrew Bryant presented a ceremonial wreath to Richard Grow in honor of his service in the U.S. Navy. Chris Eberst Nehring, a retired United States Air Force veteran, handed the ceremonial wreath to Robin Meinerding for the United States Air Force. Rich Hadden, of the United States Coast Guard, presented a wreath to Jason Winterrowd in honor of the United States Coast Guard. Thomas Pittman, a retired United States Air Force veteran, handed ceremonial wreath to Mike Wise, Navy for the United States Merchant Marines.

Sandra King, of Gold Star Mothers, handed a ceremonial wreath to Kathy Hoblit Bowen in memory of Donald Hoblit, WWII POW, with a remembrance

wreath in honor of the 93,129 United States Servicemen from all branches of the service whose last known status was either prisoners of war or missing in action. These individuals have never returned to their families and homes.

This wreath was presented to signify that we will not forget those of POW or MIA status. Lastly, Fort GreeneVille Chapter DAR member, Debbie Nisonger, handed the ceremonial wreath to Shannon Fritz of the Greenville City Fire Department to honor first responders during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Closing remarks were delivered by Philip Rehmert, a retired U.S. Army veteran. Rehmert reminded the crowd that the wreath laying ceremony is not intended to “decorate See WREATHS | 8B

PUBLIC NOTICE OF FORECLOSURE

JONATHAN HEIN, JUDGE Public notice is hereby given that on December 14, 2020, the Treasurer of Darke County, Ohio, filed a Complaint in the Common Pleas Court of Darke County, Ohio, for the foreclosure of liens for delinquent taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest against real property described in that Complaint.

Such action is brought against the real property only and no personal judgment shall be entered in it. However, if the property is sold for an amount that is less than the amount of the delinquent taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest against it, the Court may enter a deficiency judgment against the owner for the deficiency. If that owner of record is a corporation, the Court may enter the deficiency judgment against the stockholder holding a majority of the corporation’s stock.

The permanent parcel number of each parcel included in such action; the full street address of the parcel, if available; a description of the parcel as set forth in the associated Delinquent Land Tax Certificate or master list of delinquent tracts; a statement of the amount of the taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest due and unpaid on the parcel; the name and address of the last known owner of the parcel as they appear on the general tax list; and the names and addresses of each lienholder and other person with an interest in the parcel identified in a statutorily required title search relating to the parcel are as follows: Permanent Parcel Number: F27-2-212-35-01-06-14700

Sharing our Christmas Wafer with you

Versailles FFA donates fruit

More friends than usual stuffed a catch-up annual letter this year into their holiday cards and emails.

Perhaps this is because the coronavirus prevented us all from seeing the friends and loved ones we usually see at least once a year. The letters are a way of staying in touch.

How many friends have we all drifted Near away from Darke Hank Nuwer once personal visits cease?

Too many… is the answer.

of Advent have fresh herring on a day we can eat no meat by tradition. But since we could not find fresh herring in Darke or Randolph County, we’ll enjoy halibut or cod shipped to us bi-monthly from Alaska.

Before the Christmas Eve meal, we’ll celebrate with a religious tradition of my family’s and wife Gosia’s.

Namely, we’ll open a colorful envelope containing a Christmas wafer or Oplatki (pronounced Ohpwah-tki) as it is known in Polish. It is a rectangleshaped white wafer with Mary and Baby Jesus superimposed on it.

The city of Bethlehem has several meanings. We Polish persons like the Hebrew translation of “House of Bread.”

We break the wafer into small pieces, and we exchange with family and friends. With each exchange, we say we are grateful for friendship and unity. Often, we wish one another a blessed year ahead.

My wife’s family exchanges kisses on the cheek. I had to get used to that. My own family on our farms in Western New York never practiced that European custom.

This year, my wife and I will have to break bread with one and all in absentia. We’ll hope for snow

We invite you all to join us in the eternal procession of family members both present and deceased.

Our packet of “angel wafers” says this: “There is a universal longing by men (and women) to be always with one another, with God.” The terrible lesson of 2020, the year of a terrible pandemic, is that even those of us who love the outdoors, tranquility and Mother Nature, still need one another and to wish each other the traditional quest for an ever-better year ahead of each of us.

My wife Gosia and I wish you all a Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Frohe Weinachten and Wesolych Swiat.

Then this week, my wife and I got some bad news from Alaska. A five-minute drive from our remote place north of Tok, a Fairbanks corporation won the right to dig an open-pit mine to swoop gold out of the ground.

Some locals there in Tok on the Facebook page are celebrating. They say it will bring jobs to the area.

In one week, I noticed on Zillow that house prices seemed to be going up. I’ll bet property rentals will also skyrocket soon with new workers coming in droves.

Will it be long before a Wal-Mart and fast food emporiums come to pleasantly back-in-time Tok and drive out the cafes and local trading post?

No, and it won’t be long before we try to swap our land for a piece of lonely, heavenly acreage in the Brooks Range.

But sitting around and grumbling just isn’t our style.

So much of this week, we’ll hit the walking paths in Darke County and Harter Park in Union City.

We’ll spend Christmas in a state park cabin eating my wife’s scrumptious cheese, onion and potato pierogis for lunch, plus elk stakes on the outdoor grille for a light evening meal.

OBITUARY

Dr. Carrie Castille to be NIFA director

SCOTT ALAN FISHER GREENVILLE — Scott Alan Fisher, born October 16, 1951, died December 3, 2020 of complications from Juvenile Onset Diabetes.

Scott grew up in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Utah. A talented artist, he attended Utah State as an art major after graduating from Roy High School.

After college, he moved back to Ohio and worked in various occupations as varied as house painting, retail, as well as spending several years in the service industry at various pizza establishments.

In 1971, he married Pat Gallant. They later divorced but remained friends, raising their daughter, Linda Pryor. He later

met and established a relationship with Mary Chaney. He was very grateful to form a close bond with her son, Zoommack Chappie, as well as several members of the Bass Family.

Despite his challenges with life-long health problems, he was a good, generous and honest man, a loyal friend, son, brother, father and grandfather. He loved to laugh and did so often with his family and friends.

He was an avid reader and particularly enjoyed science fiction. He had a lifelong love of animals and very much enjoyed “adopting” neighborhood cats while in Greenville.

He is survived by his daughter, Linda; grand-

daughter, Rhiannon; Mary and stepson, Zoommack Chappie; his mother, Ruth (Schlotterbeck) Fisher; brother, Brad (Kim) Fisher; and sister, Valerie (Jaim) Parsons; and his nephews, Brandon Boswell and Drew Fisher. He is also survived by numerous loving Schlotterbeck cousins.

Scott generously donated his body to Ohio State University for diabetic research.

A celebration of his life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers the family requests donations to the National Diabetes Association or your local Humane Society.

Staff report

“Dr. Castille is a trusted leader in economic development and public policy and has more than 20 years’ experience in the agricultural sector. Her passion for agricultural research, teaching, and extension will enable NIFA to continue its transformation as a premier science agency,” said U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue. “She will bring strong leadership to NIFA as they continue to build and strengthen partnerships with our public land-grant universities and agricultural institutions across the nation.”

Dr. Castille served as Assistant Professor and Agriculture and Natural Resource Leader at Louisiana State Uni-

Arcanum to recognize school board Staff report

ARCANUM — The Arcanum-Butler Local School District will join more than 700 school districts throughout Ohio to celebrate January as School Board Recognition Month, Superintendent John Stephens announced.

“Our school board members serve the citizens of the Arcanum-Butler District and often make difficult choices for our district, all with minimal pay,” said Stephens. “Their focus is always on the future success of the children in our district. This year our Board made the decision that our kids needed to be in school daily for in-person instruction to the extent we could do so safely. The decision was largely representative of our community

whom the board represents. I am thankful for their direction and trusting that the administrative team and staff could make it happen. Celebrating School Board Recognition Month is one way to say thanks for all they do.”

Serving as a link between the community and classroom, school board members are elected to establish the policies that provide the framework for public schools. The Arcanum-Butler board is responsible for an annual budget of over $12 million, 1100 students, and 125 employees.

“It’s more important than ever that communities support public education so that today’s students are prepared to be productive citizens and the leaders

of tomorrow,” Stephens concluded. “Please take a moment and tell school board members ‘thanks for caring about our children and giving so much to our community.’ Let them know we support them and that their dedicated service is recognized and truly appreciated.”

The board members serving Arcanum-Butler Local Schools and their years of service are: Board President, Ed Everman, who has served on the ArcanumButler Local Board since 1998, Mark Trask, who began serving in February of 2011, Bev Delk, who began in January of 2012, Kelly Norris, who started in April of 2013 and Eric Moore, who began in January of 2018.

versity (LSU) prior to serving as Associate Commissioner and Senior Advisor to the Commissioner for the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry.

In 2017, she joined USDA as State Director for Louisiana Rural Development, and in 2019 was named as the mid-south (Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri) coordinator for USDA’s Farm Production and Conservation (FPAC) mission area.

She holds a Ph.D. in Renewable Natural Resources (with emphasis on environmental and public policy) from Louisiana State University, an M.S. degree in Environmental Studies from Louisiana State University, and a B.S. degree in Industrial Engineering from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

NIFA’s mission is to invest in and advance agricultural research, education, and extension to solve societal challenges. NIFA’s investments in transformative science directly support the long-term prosperity and global preeminence of U.S. agriculture.
