Wayne HealthCare employees and members of Shook Construction attended the topping-off ceremony to celebrate the final piece of structural steel being put into place.

Hospital hits milestone Final piece of structural steel installed GREENVILLE – Wayne HealthCare hit a milestone in its expansion on Friday, Jan. 17. The final piece of structural steel for the $60 million expansion was put into place as part of the topping-off ceremony.

To celebrate the event, the hospital invited its employees to watch as Shook Construction hoisted the piece and installed it into the skeletal structure.

For several weeks prior

to the topping-off event, employees, community leaders and the public were invited to sign the piece of steel. “It will be a part of this structure for many decades to come; until somebody long past us decides to change it,” said Jeff Subler, vice-president of Support Services.

Terri Flood, vice-president of Business Development, shared the expansion is a “true testament to our

senior leadership, staff, our board members, our employees, as well as our community and partners.”

The expansion is expected to open in 2021 and will conclude the hospitals 15-year effort “to basically rebuild the hospital on-site,” said Wayne Deschambeau, president/CEO of Wayne HealthCare. He was excited to point out many of the features in the new addition weren’t event

on the plan over a decade ago. The biggest effort will include the space dedicated to wellness.

The hospital will dedicate 10,000 square feet of space to focus on the preventative approach to healthcare. The area will feature 19-foot ceilings as well as floor to ceiling windows. “It’s going to be a real functional, as well as delightful, place to be able do that,” said Deschambeau.

Another area the expansion will focus on is private See HOSPITAL | 3

POLICE BEAT

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT

Argument leads to assault in Walmart parking lot Assault On Jan. 18 an officer was dispatched to Walmart, 1501 Wagner Ave., on the report of an assault. The officer contacted the complainant/victim, who said when he and his wife exited the store they saw a maroon vehicle parked too close to the driver’s side of their vehicle. The complainant said his wife had to enter the vehicle on the passenger side and climb across the center console to get into the driver’s seat. The complainant told the officer when the occupants of the vehicle returned to their car, he said “thank you for parking so close.” An argument ensued, resulting in the victim getting punched twice in the left eye before falling to the ground.

After the altercation the two subjects drove away. When the officer was speaking with the victim he noticed injury to the victim’s left eye and scrapes on his left knee and left elbow. The victim denied a rescue squad and photos were obtained of his injuries to be included in the officer’s report.

The officer reviewed surveillance video footage of the Walmart parking lot and saw two subjects, Russell Baker and another male subject exiting the store and returning to the maroon vehicle.

The officer saw the victim and Baker get into an argument for

a brief period of time. Baker is then seen on video striking the victim in the face approximately 2-3 times before the victim falls to the ground. Baker is then seen entering the passenger side of the maroon vehicle and the other subject entered the driver’s side and they drove away from the scene. Walmart provided the officer with still photos of both subjects as well as the video footage of the altercation. Baker could not be located and currently has an outstanding warrant for his arrest. The officer prepared a misdemeanor citation for assault, which will be served when Baker is located.

DUI On Jan. 19 an officer on routine patrol saw a vehicle traveling east on Martin Street at Ohio Street. The vehicle did not have any lights on, so the officer conducted a traffic stop. During the investigation the driver was identified as Chet Musselman Jr. Musselman had glassy eyes and there was a very strong odor of alcohol coming from inside the vehicle, which became stronger as he spoke. Musselman admitted he had been drinking at his grandmother’s earlier in the night. The officer then asked Musselman to step out of the vehicle to perform standardized

field sobriety tests. Musselman complied and stepped out of the vehicle, then asked if he could be taken somewhere that was dry because the roads were icy.

Musselman was placed inside a cruiser and was transported to Sunoco, 841 Martin St., where there was a dry area. He then performed the standardized field sobriety tests and did poorly.

Musselman was placed under arrest and was advised he was being arrested for operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol. He was transported to the Greenville Police Department, where he agreed to take a breath test. The result of the test was .083 of one gram by weight of alcohol per 210 liters of the person’s breath. Musselman was placed under an administrative license suspension and was charged with OVI and released to a friend. His vehicle was towed

by Hurds and a vehicle inventory was conducted.

Shoplifting On Jan.16 an officer was dispatched to Walmart, 1501 Wagner Ave., on the report of a trespass complaint. The complainant told the officer Damian King was inside the store and had been previously warned for trespass. Dispatch reported to the officer King had been

previously warned for trespass on Oct. 16, 2014. The officer arrived and entered the business to start looking for King, or the witness who made the report.

The officer located the complainant, who gave a description of King. The officer shared the description with another officer who was assisting in locating King. Shortly after, the other officer said he was outside with King near the front of the business. The complainant also notified the officers that King had been seen coming from the men’s restroom at the front of the store. Employees were asked to check the restroom for any damaged items or packages.

King told officers he was just in the store to “walk around.” The officer reminded him he had been issued a warning for trespass at the Greenville Walmart in 2014. At this point King was detained and advised he was not under arrest. He was left with an officer so the other officer could return inside the store to speak with the witness/complainant, who said she had located two empty cell phone packages in the handicap stall of the men’s restroom. The officer returned outside to speak with King, who agreed to be searched. King told officers he did have cell phones on his person, but they were his.

He also told the officers he was on parole. During the search, an officer located two cell phones that still had the new protective covers over the screen, as well as two brand new white cell phone chargers that come standard with a brand new phone.

Both charges were still wrapped in brand new plastic. Officers compared the cell phones to the damaged packages inside the store and they were both a match. Employees also advised that King walked through all points of sale without paying for any items. The cells totaled $98.88. King was cited for trespass and theft and was released from the scene. His parole officer was notified of the incident.

EARLY BIRD POLICY The Greenville Police Beat is prepared from public records available at the Greenville Police Department. Every effort is made to balance the public’s right to know with the rights of the individuals involved. Readers are encouraged to contact Greenville Police if they have information or concerns regarding these or any other incidents they see. The Early Bird notes all suspects are innocent until proven guilty and welcomes comments and concerns regarding this community service.

CSS starts transportation program in the endeavor include Area Agency on Aging 3 and Logan County RTC Services.

The Volunteer Driving Program is focused on transporting individuals to medical and non-medical appointments and to employment. Priority will be given to older adults and individuals with disabilities as well as low-

income populations who do not have access to other options. The program will allow access for individuals who need transportation outside of traditional transit hours and cannot afford the high cost of private providers.

The pilot will run in Auglaize, Logan, Mercer, Shelby, Darke and Champaign Counties. One of the goals is to eliminate gaps in transportation that exist because of the lack of cross-county and region-toregion transport.

The initial phase of implementation is the recruitment and training of approximately 10 volunteer drivers. The volunteer drivers will provide curb-to-curb transportation for passengers who need rides to medical and non-medical destinations.

Drivers will use their personal vehicles to transport within their county and adjoining counties. Drivers will be expected to safely operate their vehicles according to State of Ohio driving laws and fill out

reporting forms.

Drivers will be thoroughly trained and vetted (background check required). They must hold valid Ohio driver’s licenses with no more than three points accrued. They must be able to read maps and follow directions. Training will include eight hours of ODOT Drive training, CPR and First Aid, VIRTUS (Child Protection) training, and Defensive Driving training.

Each driver accepted into the program will be

OPINION

Greenville Early Bird

READERS WRITE

To the Editor: Ohio’s ballooning EdChoice voucher program threatens to undermine the system of public education in Ohio, as well as Darke County.

The program uses a flawed school report card to unfairly label public schools as “failing” and forces districts to subsidize the cost of private school tuition. Due to recent changes, hundreds of millions of public tax dollars will subsidize private school tuition for students, many of whom have never attended a public school.

Next school year, more than 70% of Ohio’s districts will have an EdChoice-eligible building. The number of eligible buildings will mushroom from approximately 230 last year to more than 1,200 next year – a 422% increase. Nearly half of these buildings received overall grades of A, B or C on their current state report card.

Vouchers cost $4,650 for K-8 students and $6,000 for high school students, funneling money away from public schools to pay for private and parochial tuition.

Students can keep the voucher throughout their academic career, costing taxpayers nearly $66,000 per pupil to fund a private education. These costs far exceed what the state provides the public school districts, so districts must rely on local tax dollars to cover the difference.

Vouchers also threaten districts’ ability to serve their remaining students and jeopardize the qual-

ity of those students’ educational experiences.

Public school districts are held to high standards and accountability, unlike private schools that do not have to use the same state tests to assess student achievement and can determine their own enrollment and admission policies.

In the end, local taxpayers who never intended for their tax dollars to go to private and parochial schools lose. Students are placed in educational settings where there is little-tono accountability, and school districts that are doing great things for kids are inappropriately labeled as “failing.”

Please contact your state legislators and tell them to stop draining funds from public school budgets. Tell them to stop funneling taxpayer dollars to private and parochial schools. Tell them it’s time to stop undermining Ohio’s system of public education, where every child is accepted and educated.

Athletic abilities or love of money I’ve never thought my wife and I were that athletic. Oh sure, we both tried to compete in sports when we were younger. The key word here is tried.

I saw the pictures of her playing soccer when she was about eight- or nine-years old. She was wearing jeans trying to play soccer. Sweat pants maybe, but jeans are just weird.

I thought maybe she was so good that they instituted a rule declaring she had to wear jeans to restrict her play so others wouldn’t feel bad about themselves. Ha ha, yeah, no! She didn’t want to be cold. Her competitive fire wasn’t enough to keep her warm.

I’m not saying I’m better, but there are no pictures of me wearing jeans playing sports.

The games I tried to play were baseball and softball and I did have a few amazing highlights in my career.

I remember being 14 and playing summer ball.

I was in centerfield and started a triple play.

same as her boss’ wife.

I know a combined score of 263 isn’t great and we won’t be turning pro anytime soon, but we did beat three other couples in a high pressure game. My hope is that this will inspire our kids and let them know that they too can overcome the odds and achieve their goals in high pressure situations.

It also didn’t hurt that one of the other bowlers had pins in her finger after breaking it a few weeks ago.

Let’s be honest, none of this has anything to do with athletic ability or competitive fire.

It’s about the money.

My wife and I are like our kids. My wife puts money in her pocket at track meets and if they hit a personal record throwing an 8-pound ball they get the money in her pocket. We got the money in her boss’ pocket for throwing an 8-pound ball.

GREENVILLE- Greenville’s Courtney Bryson, the daughter of Marlo and Ty Bryson signed Thursday to continue her education with studies in Criminology while continuing her sports career with the Heidelberg University Student Prince softball program.”

“I want to thank God for allowing me to have the patience and determination to get to where I am, and for allowing me to have this opportunity,” said Bryson. “I want to thank my family, friends, all the coaches that helped me get here and have supported me all the way through to where I am now.”

“Great kid, great family, just a class act,” said veteran Lady Wave Softball coach Jerrod Newland. “I threw her to the dogs right off the get-go because she had two or three skill sets that I could utilize as a coach.”

“Courtney is a five tool kid that can play all nine spots on the field,” Newland noted. “I am proud of Courtney and how she has grown as a person, player and leader over the past seasons.”

Heidelberg University, located in Tiffin, Ohio is a member of the Ohio Athletic Conference (AOC) consisting of ten private, liberal arts colleges/universities in Ohio including: Baldwin Wallace University, Capital University, Heidelberg University, John Carroll University, Marietta College, University of Mount Union, Muskingum University, Ohio Northern University, Otterbein University and Wilmington College.

Bryson has met the Heidelberg coaching staff and stated; “They are very friendly and nice. I like them a lot.”

Bryson hopes to help build the Heidelberg program that ended the 2019 softball season with a 14-22 overall mark and 6-12 in the OAC. “I am hoping to help them build the program because right now they have a new coach,” Bryson said. “She was the assistant but now she is the new head coach – they are trying to build back up.”

Mari Deppe was named interim head coach after previously serving as Heidelberg’s full-time assistant coach for one season and now takes over the head coaching position for the 2020 season.

“Coach Deppe is now the full time coach,” Newland said. “A good program, great conference.

Bryson and Shaffer (GHS alum and current Muskingum University softball player, Karsyn Shaffer) will tee it up a couple times. Just neat to get her up there and not too far away from home. Excited for her and the opportunity ahead.”

“Courtney is going to go and get a chance to make a quick impact for Coach Deppe,” added Newland. “Courtney is part of a senior class with 80 win and has already won the past three District Finals.”

The speedy Bryson’s three year stats include a .459 batting average (67-146) to go along with 83 runs scored and a Lady Wave senior season still ahead.

GREENVILLE – The Lady Wave defeated the visiting Stebbins Lady 31-27 in a Wednesday night MVL game.

The team’s played to a 10-10 first quarter tie with Haleigh Behnken leading the Lady Wave with 6-points including 2-2 at the free throw line.

Greenville scored seven second quarter points in what would prove to be the team’s quarterly point totals the remainder of the game; also scoring 7-points in both the third and fourth quarters.

The Lady Wave held the Lady Indians to five second quarter points taking a slim 17-15 lead to the halftime break.

Stebbins drilled four first half 3-pointers to keep the Lady Indians in the game.

“Normally our zone is a pretty good defense but we did a terrible job just getting our hands up and getting out on them,” Kerns said. “We had to go to a man-to-man and we really haven’t done that much this year, but I guess on the bright side going towards tournament time it’s probably good to practice our man-to-man a little bit too.”

Period No. 3 went to Stebbins by a single point;

For the game, Behnken was 9-of-10 at the charity stripe and Gilbert was 3-for-3.

“Fortunately we made our free throws come that fourth quarter,” Coach Kerns said following the game.

“Haleigh is smooth, she is very smooth at the free throw line,” continued Kerns. “She has a beautiful shot and normally she does a really good job. When she gets to the free throw line she doesn’t let a lot of things between the ears bother her and tonight was no different. She did a great job going up there and knocking them down.”

“It goes back to Morgan (Gilbert),” added Kerns.

“She went up there and we had just missed one and she gets fouled. She goes and knocks both of them down and then we don’t miss after that. Just a great job by our seniors to go in there in the fourth quarter and knock those free Gaylen Blosser | DarkeCountyMedia.com Haleigh Behnken sinks one of her fourth quarter free throws in throws down.”

Lady Wave JV win 10th straight

By Gaylen Blosser DarkeCountyMedia.com

GREENVILLE – The Lady Wave junior varsity basketball team defeated the visiting Newton Lady Indians JV 47-26 to earn their 10th consecutive win in a Wednesday night nonconference matchup.

“Ten in a row is not just because of luck,” said Greenville JV coach Laura Germann. “The kids have put in and have bought in – we have really improved from where we were at the beginning of the season.”

Greenville jumped out to a 13-5 lead after one period of play led by Skyler Fletcher’s 8-points.

“Our offensive execution is a lot better than where we were at the beginning of the season,” Germann said. “We have some kids that are feeling a little more comfortable, a little more confident on the offensive end. We have really picked up the energy and the toughness defensively, so it is a combination of both of those things.”

The teams matched second quarter points with each adding 5-points to the board sending the teams to the break with the Lady Wave JV leading 18-10.

Greenville’s Minaxi Pandey drilled two third quarter 3-pointers and added a 2-point field goal to pace the Lady Wave with 8-points and take the third

quarter by a 14-6 score to lead 32-16 heading to the final period of play.

The Lady Wave extended its fourth quarter lead to 47-18 with just under three minutes to play before Coach Germann emptied her bench for a 21-point win. Laikyn Bruner led Greenville with 6-points all coming by way of two fourth quarter 3-pointers.

“When she catches the ball is stride,” Germann said of Bruner, “she also has a decent shot and when she is feeling it she’ll let you know because she’ll keep shooting which is

what a good shooter should do.”

“The majority of our points come in the second half,” Coach Germann added. “We came out pretty flat. We talked about the importance of playing for four quarters but sometimes things are contagious and Skylar (Fletcher) started scoring and Pandey starts scoring then Laikin Bruner hits a few and that energy is contagious.”

With the win, the Lady Wave improve to 11-4 on the season after an early season 1-4 start.

“The kids have worked

really hard for that,” Germann said of the team’s 10th win in a row. “It’s not like we have an easy schedule. We just beat VandaliaButler on Saturday and that was only their second loss. They lost to Tipp City by 4 and that is who we get to go play on Saturday – we’ll try to make it No. 11.”

Skyler Fletcher led Greenville with 19-points and Minaxi Pandey chipped in with 13-points.

“We have been talking about being disciplined, we talked about being a group and tonight we shared the ball well,” Dean said. “We

“We were nice and loose in the locker room and on the bench. The girls were feeding off each other.

“Last week was rough on us,” Coach Dean concluded. “We played some really good teams and it took its toll on us emotionally and mentally. I told the girls this week we need to fight back and get back to who we were at the beginning of the season. Tonight was a good step in the right direction towards tournament.”

with 7:15 showing. Versailles battle back with the score tied 25-25 in the third before the Tigers would close out scoring on a 7-2 run to lead 32-27 win one period to play.

Versailles sophomore Ben Ruhenkamp buried a big fourth quarter baseline 3-pointer and Ryan Martin added a 2-point goal in the fourth.

“Maybe that will get him going,” Coach Swank said of his sophomore. “He has struggled from the outside a little bit. That might be

something that propels him forward getting a little confidence – he just drilled it.”

The Tigers took advantage of the fourth quarter free throw line for their remaining points in the fourth quarter making 7-of9 to the Redskins 3-of-6 at the charity stripe to outscore the visitors 12-5 and earn a 12-point victory.

“Our goal is always 40 and under and we did a marvelous job here tonight on the defensive end,” Coach Swank noted.

“Defense can never take

games off. It always has to show up. This team’s done a really nice job defensively all year long. Our kids pretty much play solid defense every night and if you can count on that you are going to be in a lot of ballgames.”

show love to his fellow man would simply not allow him to take part in the war. For this conscientious decision he was charged with a crime, found guilty, and sentenced in a court of law. While not a pleasant experience, he was pleased to take a stand for what he believed in, no matter the consequence.

During his life, Jerry learned what a difference a close relationship with God could make. He felt strongly that a knowledge of Jehovah God can be the key to peace and satisfaction; while a life without that knowledge can be a struggle to find true happiness. On one hand, Jerry was mild mannered, often deferring attention to others; but on the other, he never hesitated to give voice to those things that mattered the most. Speaking with others about his faith, and encouraging them to explore God’s word for themselves was very important to Jerry.

Sharing the truth from the Bible regarding the origin of life, God’s name, the hope of the resurrection, and the future promise of life on a paradise earth was far more important to him than any hobby. He loved, and was loved in return, by a worldwide brotherhood of dear fellow worshippers.

The diagnosis of advanced colon cancer last February forced Jerry onto the crowded road that seeks to paralyze and consume all its travelers with fear. He resisted fear by seeing this unavoidable itinerary as an opportunity to make new friends and share with as many people as possible the Bible truths that he held dear. Jerry’s kindness, disarming wit, and handfuls of candy, endeared him to doctors, nurses, caregivers, and fellow patients. His family is grateful for the incredible attention he received from the beautiful folks at Dayton Physicians Cancer Care and State of the Heart Hospice.

The possibility of a cure was unknown, yet, for Jerry, the future was never in doubt. With eyes of faith he could see beyond the present darkness into the future new world described in the Bible at Revelation 21:3, 4.

The resurrection hope was a secure anchor for Jerry, right to the end. That same hope continues to bring comfort to his family and friends. If you would like to learn more about what Jerry believed, we invite you to visit www. jw.org and click on ‘Bible Teachings.’

A memorial service was held Saturday, Jan. 18 at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 6688 Ludy Road, Greenville. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to www.jw.org or www. stateoftheheartcare.org.

BLAKELY – Jerry Alan Blakeley, 72, of Greenville, fell asleep in death, surrounded by his family, on Thursday, Jan. 16, 2020.

Born October 20, Blakeley 1947, the third of four children, to the late Don P. and Marie E. Blakeley. He is survived by his two sisters, Georgia (Kenneth) Monroe of Wallkill, NY, Donnalee (Lloyd, late) Hanson of Knightstown, IN, and his brother, Greg (Tresa) Blakeley of Arcanum; and nieces and nephews, Beau (Amber) Blakeley, Tara (John) Yoxtheimer, Rebecca Hicks, Martha Hanson, Dawn (Jon) Kikot, David (April) Monroe; and great-nieces, Darcy, Sara, and Caitlin.

Jerry graduated from Greenville High School in 1965. Among his first jobs were Sutton’s Grocery in Arcanum, Fridgidaire in Dayton, and as an orderly at Miami Valley Hospital.

Later he would be known by many as the purveyor of joy through the distraction of video games and pinball machines at Little Greggie’s arcade in Greenville. Most recently he worked alongside the fine people at Whirlpool in Greenville. He enjoyed a diversity of interests, including scuba diving, skiing, and hockey. Jerry was an avid golfer, though regrettably, his golf jokes were far better than his swing. (Why does a golfer wear two pairs of pants? In case he gets a hole in one!)

Jerry never married or had children of his own; instead he lavished genuine love and attention upon his nieces and nephews. When the need arose, he readily accepted the selfless role of caregiver for his aging mother and father. His loyalty to them was exceptional and will always be remembered. When you met Jerry, you immediately sensed that he cared about you; wanted to hear about you; wanted to know you better.

He routinely greeted friends and strangers alike with the open-ended, “Tell me a story…”

Jerry, as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, dedicated his life to Jehovah God and was baptized on January 1, 1963.

Understanding the truth of God’s Word the Bible gave Jerry different perspective on what he saw going on in the world and what to expect from the future. For instance, in 1968, during the Vietnam War, like many young men, Jerry was drafted. Despite popular opinion surrounding this emotionally charged subject, his deeply held desire to obey his Heavenly Father and

Booker: A World War II veteran

By Linda Moody

Donald Booker can often be found taking a rest in his home in the afternoon. He’s allowed. The 98-yearold probably just got done cleaning his house and prepares himself to either watch television or reflect on his life in the military and his work with the Greenville Police Department, not to mention his family.

GREENVILLE — Donald Booker of Greenville, who was featured in an article appearing in The Daily Advocate this past week focusing on his work with the Greenville Police Department, is a World War II veteran.

The 98-year-old Booker was 20 when he was drafted into the service during World War II. He served with the Army Corps of Engineers from September 1942 to November 1945.

He fought in the South Pacific, but was never injured.

He served in Australia, New Guinea, the Philippines, Kiriwina Island and Japan in the Army Corps of Engineers.

“Out of Camp Butner, N.C., we traveled by train to California for five days,” he said. “We got on a ship and headed for

Australia for 18 days; and then on an open ship with no safety guards for 12 days to New Guinea, where we were for two weeks,” he reminisced.

He went on, “The second lieutenant came up to me and said, ‘You’re going with me’.

I had no choice. Nineteen of us were put on a tug boat with a truck, jeep and trailer and we headed for the Kiriwina Islands, which is eight miles wide and 30 miles long between the Equator and New Guinea. Months later, we got word to move on to New Guinea, into Luzon and went into the northern region and down to Manila. We were in combat the whole time.”

“We were eventually in control of the supply of gasoline at the airport,” he said. “I rode in a B-24 bomber and flew to the islands and back.”

Booker spent 33 months overseas.

in Greenville.

Born Oct. 14, 1921, son of the late Omer and Elsie (Sharp) Booker, he graduated in 1940 from Ansonia High School.

After he got out of the service, Booker worked for Union City Body Company until work there started to slow down, then he became a member of the Greenville Police Department. He was assistant — Donald Booker chief from September 1978 until he retired.

required on the property (sidewalk). The cost of the lease has yet to be determined, but the city’s administration will discuss the issue and bring a recommendation to council.

Once a lease is secured, Cox will take his plans to the Planning & Zoning Commission and Architectural Review Board for approval. Garrison said, “We don’t want to create a lot of red tape here. We want to streamline it, but there are some steps that we will review and go through.”

Council seemed in favor of moving forward with the outdoor dining proposal. Leon Rogers said, “I, myself, think it’s a good idea. We need to move up with the times of other cities.” Council-

men Doug Wright and Jeff Whitaker agreed.

Mayor Steve Willman addressed council and asked for a committee assignment be made to look at water rates for the city. The last increase took place in 2014. “The cost we charge for water is probably not enough to cover our cost of continued maintenance as we look forward to what we need to get done,” said the mayor. Burkett assigned the issue to the Utility Committee and asked for a report at the first meeting in March.

Garrison informed council that the $800,000 grant for North Ohio Street is no longer available. He said the state realized a glitch in their accounting system. The city’s project will go to the bottom of the list and if funds become available through the state the city could continue its project. Garrison believes it may be another year before the city gets the funding.

Promoting pollinators with DCP iting www.darkecountyparks.org. The cost for this program is $10.

Native pollinators thrive with access to native plants. In fact, they’re four times more likely to be attracted to a native plant vs. other blooms. Help boost pollinator species by stocking your garden area or backyard with native plants available through the Darke County Park’s Native Plant Sale. Several varieties of milkweed will be available, along with Prairie Blazing star, Wild Geranium, New England Aster, Royal Catchfly and more.

Pre-sale forms and payment must be turned in by Feb. 21. Plants are available for pre-sale only (a

few select plants may be available during the sale).

Plant pick up will take place May 9, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at the Bish Discovery Center.

Visit darkecountyparks. org or stop by either of the two centers to submit and order. For more information, call Darke County Parks at (937) 548-0165.

GREENVILLE – If you’re curious about how you can help pollinator populations this spring, let Darke County Parks give you hand.

Mason bees are very productive pollinators and of the bees of Ohio, they’re the easiest to maintain. Come and learn how to increase mason bee populations by raising them in your backyard or garden. Plus, they’ll assist you in building your very own bee house to take home.

Gateway sponsors Adopt-a-Child GREENVILLE – For more than two decades Gateway has sponsored a unique Christmas program that pairs up local companies and organizations with families that need assistance during Christmas.

Families are referred to Gateway by staff and other service providers.

All families must fill out an application to see if they qualify for the program.

Once they do, they provide information on each child in the family such as clothing sizes, items needed, hobbies, interests and what they wish for Christmas.

The youth are assigned a code so all information is kept confidential.

Local companies and

organizations that partner with Gateway will request a certain number of youth that they want to adopt for Christmas. Families are then matched to program partners and given shopping information on all the youth. Each business or organization decides what they are going to purchase for the child and then they return it to the office all wrapped and ready to deliver to the family.

Parents are contacted and presents are given to the families.

This year the Adopt-aChild program assisted 64 youth in 23 families.

“Every organization puts their own special touch on the Christmas they provide

for the youth,” said Ruth Barga, support specialist at Gateway. “Every year I hear or see something that warms my heart. A parent will break down and cry in disbelief and gratitude when seeing the presents, a company will talk about their quest for a specific present, I never know what each year will bring,” said Barga.

Gateway thanks the following area businesses, organizations, and families for participating in their Adopt-A-Child Program again this year: Darke County Beef 4-H Club, the Dues Family, Greenville Technology Inc., Kiwanis Club of Greenville, Mercer Sav-

ings Bank, Oakley Place, Pitsburg Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, Second National Bank, Webster United Methodist Church and Whirlpool Corporation. “It is hard to find a way that properly expresses our appreciation to all the people who assist with this program.

They put so much work and love into this project.

They are amazing. This program would not exist without you. We cannot thank you enough for all your support,” said Barga.

If you would like to adopt a child or family in the future, you can contact Ruth Barga at Gateway Youth Programs at 937-548-8002.

Class of 1955 luncheon set GREENVILLE – The Greenville High School Class of 1955 will have its monthly luncheon on Thursday, Jan. 30,

these last few years,” said Skylar Rotruck, a threetime recipient from Attica, Ohio. “I appreciate the generous support of Ohio’s natural gas and oil industry, which has enabled me to complete one degree and I expect to complete two more this year.”

“Last year we were proud to award 65 scholarships to students representing 32 Ohio counties, 27 higher education institutions and 17 different majors,” said Rhonda Reda, OOGEEP Executive Director. “Donations from those who are passionate about the future of our industry’s workforce have allowed OOGEEP to award close to half a million dollars in scholarships.”

Previous scholarship recipients are engaged in a variety of studies including geology, engineering, diesel mechanics, technicians, welding, construction management, environmental, health and safety.

In addition to the scholarship program, OOGEEP works with more than 90 Ohio colleges, universities, and career and technical schools that offer training for the 75+ careers in the natural gas and oil industry. These partnerships provide Ohio students with potential opportunities for job shadowing, mentoring, networking opportunities and much more.
