Prison time for all Band of Thieves II members RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Nearly one-year ago, Darke County Sheriff Toby Spencer held a press conference announcing the arrest of seven suspects in what the sheriff called, “Band of Thieves II.” Shortly before the arrests, a Clark County Grand Jury issued a 74-count indictment against members of the theft ring. In the 12months since the arrests were made, all seven members of the Band of Thieves II have admitted their guilt in a Clark County courtroom and are currently serving prison time. The investigation into the Band of Thieves II began in October 2014 when Det. Rodney Baker discovered at least one known suspect from a prior theft case he had worked on. Last December, he told The Early Bird, “I made a few calls to some other agencies and everything took off from there.” One organization after another joined together to learn and track how far reaching the theft ring

Its enrollment and offerings have grown steadily during its brief history, from 309 students enrolled in 30 courses in 1973 to more than 3,000 students enrolled today in about 30 technical ﬁelds, a broad range of baccalaureate transfer programs, developmental course work,

and continuing education offerings. Edison State Community College offers ﬁve different degrees, two of which are designed for transferring to a four-year college or university, and three which prepare graduates for immediate employment. Providing modern campus facilities and leading-edge computer and Internet technology, Edison State Community College cannot be surpassed for its learning environment.

Parade goers brave cold to see horses RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Even with temperatures in the low 30s, thousands of spectators braved the chill and ﬂocked to historic downtown Greenville on the Saturday before Thanksgiving to kick of the holiday season. For the 13th year, Main Street Greenville, Inc. and businesses along South Broadway hosted the annual Hometown Holiday Horse Parade. Over 80 entries paraded up one side of Broadway and down the other to the delight of parade goers.

From miniature horses to the large Belgian draft horses and all sizes in between, there was plenty to ooh and ah over. This year’s parade grand marshals, Dean and Arlene Bankson, owners of Wieland Jewelers rode in grand style and waved to everyone along the parade route. The Greenville High School Marching Band helped put the crowd in the mood for the holidays as they belted out Christmas music. The weather was a factor for some of the pre-parade activities. With temperatures hovering around 34degrees and a chance of

rain or snow, concerts with Joseph Helfrich and Joelle York were cancelled. As they say in show business, “The show must go on.” And that it did while organizers were facing a serious issue in the staging area. The Greenville Police Department reported a granddaughter and grandfather were taken to Wayne HealthCare after a horse was “spooked” and knocked the child off its back. The grandfather was dragged nearly a block before they were able to get the horse under control. The grandfather was treated for a laceration to his head.

The arrival of the holiday season in Greenville would not be complete without a visit from St. Nicholas. Santa Claus caught a ride on one of the hitches parading through downtown Greenville during the annual horse parade.

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT

Student cited for unruly juvenile after ‘sexting’ UNRULY JUVENILE

On Nov. 16, a Greenville High School student was charged with unruly juvenile after school officials received reports of a male student showing pornographic videos from his cell phone to students on a school bus. The student admitted to having video of himself and his girlfriend on his phone, but said he did not show anyone the video. School officials also viewed the video from the school bus, which confirms the student did show the video and also verbally confirmed to one of the other students who he was with in the video. One of the students who saw the video was a sixthgrader. School officials

and police contacted the male student’s mother and asked her to come to the school. She asked police not to look at the video at that time. The ofﬁcer complied, but told the mother the phone was being taken as evidence. Police and school ofﬁcials are continuing their investigation, including speaking to another underage female student who was recorded as part of the pornographic video. The male student was released to his mother and cited for unruly juvenile at the request of Darke County Assistant Prosecutor Margaret Hayes. OVERDOSE

ON YOUR MIND

Men, Women, Tomorrow Land & Fantasy Land

Ryan’s World by Ryan Berry Managing Editor

I have a choice to make. I’ve been mulling over a couple of ideas for this week’s column and the choice is do I use something generic or do I write something that will most likely tick my wife off. Since I’ve already done the latter today, I might as well keep it going. There was a book that came out many years ago that said men are from Mars and women are from Venus. That makes no sense at all. I guess I should have read the book. I have another idea of where men and women are from. If I were to write that book I would go with a Disney reference and say men are from Tomorrow Land and women are from Fantasy Land. Before I start getting nasty-grams from a bunch of angry women, please let me explain my thinking. I’m fairly conﬁdent my explanation will further your furor. I’m not saying women aren’t forward thinking. In fact, some of our most innovative and forward thinking people have been women. I’m speaking in generalities. Men tend to see into the future and know how our actions today will affect our future. I suppose I should give some type of personal example that will cause everyone to gasp and say, “How do you stay married?” I should preface this by saying my nature is to be an introvert and social situations are not my strong suit. I love my family – even the extended version – but I’m happiest being at home. I don’t actually dislike people and I’m not snobbish, I just have a hard time talking one-on-one to people in a social setting. I’m more comfortable standing on a stage talking in front of a bunch of people. Going into Thanksgiving I was resigned to the fact that I would have one event

I would have to pull up my big boy pants for and go and be social. Then a phone call came and I heard my wife bouncing up the stairs. “We are going to have lunch at my sister’s house tomorrow (Thanksgiving) at noon, but you don’t have to go,” she said. Being a forward thinker, I chose not to say anything because I knew I didn’t have the right comment to express my thoughts truthfully or without profanity. Once again, speaking in generalities, women live in this world where they believe every thought and comment they have will be met with pure joy and overwhelming agreement. It is by all logical thinking measures a Fantasy Land. Once again I should probably give some type of personal example that will cause everyone to gasp and say, “How do you stay married?” Knowing the conversation from the previous night wasn’t ﬁnished (because I come from Tomorrow Land), I waited patiently for the bomb to drop. Shortly after 11 a.m. while I’m sitting on the couch in my sleeping shorts and enjoying the Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Enola Gay ﬂew directly overhead. “Are you going with us or not,” she asked? A forward thinking guy would have known my lack of an answer the night before clearly meant I don’t want to go unless you are going to force the issue. In Fantasy Land the words “but you don’t have to go,” means “Oh…You are so going.” I still refused to give an answer to the question, but I did make the mistake in reminding her of her words. “I thought you said I didn’t have to go,” I said. That didn’t go over very well. Guess what I did. Yep, I went upstairs and got dressed. I will admit I did have a good time at both Thanksgiving celebrations, which isn’t unusual. I tend to have a good time when my wife forces me to do something I don’t want to do, but it’s still hard to willingly force myself out of my comfort zone.

Brown helps expand new market tax credits WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) recently announced $40 million for the Dayton Region New Market Fund to help attract private investment in economic development projects. The funding was awarded through the New Market Tax Credit (NMTC) program, which Brown has championed during his time in the Senate. “Community development entities across Ohio are working to spur growth in our communities and the New Market Tax Credit gives them the boost they need to attract private investment,” said Brown. “This credit will give the Dayton Region New Market Fund the ability to create jobs and lift up the local economy.” The NMTC Program – operated by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Commu-

nity Financial Development Institution – was established in 2000 with the goal of spurring revitalization efforts in American communities. NMTC provides tax credit incentives to Community Development Entities (CDE) so they can invest in low-income communities. Under the program, CDEs apply to the U.S. Treasury Department for the authority to raise a certain amount of capital from investors. Awardees are then given a tax credit that equals a percentage of their investment output over the span of seven years. Brown has been a strong supporter of NMTC, which incentivizes investments in low-income communities. In December 2015, Brown helped secure a ﬁve-year extension of NMTC in the year-end tax bill.

Attorney General DeWine warns of scams COLUMBUS – Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine recently warned consumers of scams to avoid this holiday season. “Scams don’t take a break during the holidays, and when people are busy or distracted, they may be more likely to fall for a scam,” Attorney General DeWine said. “We just encourage people to be careful. Take a few minutes to think, and if something doesn’t seem right, don’t do it.” Scams to avoid this holiday season include: * Seasonal job scams. Job seekers find an ad for a mystery shopping or package shipping position where they can work from home. They complete an online “interview” over chat or email. Once they’re selected for the job, they receive a check. They’re told to deposit the check and immediately wire a portion of the money somewhere else. Ultimately, the check is returned as counterfeit, and the job seeker loses any money he or she has sent. * Package delivery scams. Consumers receive a message saying a package is waiting for them. The “package” turns out to be a phony notice claiming they’ve won millions of dollars but must send money to redeem the prize. (In reality, the prize does not exist.) In another variation of the scam, consumers receive an email or text message with instructions to click a link for the status of a package delivery. Although the message looks real, it’s a scam designed to trick consumers into clicking on the link and infecting their device with malicious software. * Advance-fee loan scams. Consumers apply for a loan online, but they’re told they need to pay a few hundred dollars in advance to secure the loan. They send the money but never receive anything in return. * Online shopping scams. Con artists pose as sellers online, taking money for items they never deliver. For example, in the “puppy scam,” consumers find an ad for a puppy on social media or classified ad websites like Craigslist or

Hoobly. They pay the “seller” hundreds or thousands of dollars, supposedly to cover shipping fees, crate costs, insurance payments, or veterinary bills, but they never receive anything in return. * Charity scams. Con artists pretend to represent real charities, soliciting consumers by phone, online, or outside stores or malls. They make vague, phony claims about supporting a worthwhile cause and collect donations on the spot, but they keep the money for themselves. Signs of a possible scam include: * Requests for payment using money-transfer services, prepaid cards, or gift

cards. * Receiving a check and being told to send a portion of the money elsewhere. * Pressure to act immediately. * Guarantees that you’ll make money. * Having to pay to secure a loan, grant, or prize. * Winning a contest you never entered. * Requests to send money out of the country. Attorney General DeWine also encouraged consumers to take steps to avoid identity theft during the holidays. Victims of identity theft may not discover the problem for months (or even years) after their information is stolen. Consumers can help protect

themselves by guarding their personal information, regularly checking their bank accounts, and reviewing their credit reports. Consumers who suspect a scam should contact the Ohio Attorney General’s Ofﬁce at www.OhioProtects. org or 800-282-0515.

“The Mitten Tree provides the opportunity for all ages and incomes to participate in the true spirit of the season,” said Marilyn Delk, Fish volunteer coordinating the Mitten Tree project. “We sincerely hope that our generous neighbors will once again this year be able to spare the relatively small amount required to purchase a pair of mittens or gloves and bring joy and warmth to local children who may not receive many other gifts this Christmas,” Mrs. Delk concluded. To best meet the needs of children directly served by Head Start programs, donated gloves and mittens should ﬁt boys and girls between the ages of 3 and 5; however, donated items in larger or smaller sizes will be shared with Head Start families. So mittens and gloves can be distributed prior to Christmas, contributions should be made by Dec. 19. For more information regarding the Mitten Tree, contact Mrs. Delk at (937) 548-2482.

Hanes, along with fellow students Logan Eldridge, Logan Tabler and Haleigh Dunevant presented the Supply Chain Managementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fund-raising efforts on behalf of Darke County Special Olympics as their Leadership for Learning display. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Night in Hollywoodâ&#x20AC;? has become an annual event, with Dara Buchyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Supply Chain Management students planning and implementing the entire black-tie fundraiser as part of a Business Professionals of America program. Last school year, students raised $13,000 for Special Olympics. This year, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already raised between $500 and $600 sponsoring a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hallowingoâ&#x20AC;? event at their school. The junior Supply Chain Management class also is participating in the fundraiser and spent some time earlier this semester cleaning the Eldora Campground following a race. Part of their booth display for the OSBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conference was a video showing how much last springâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Night in Hollywoodâ&#x20AC;? was enjoyed by Special Olympics clients and their families. The 2017 event is set for March 4 at the high school, Hanes said. Also participating in the Leadership for Learning event were Alli Hill and Brandon Beyke, seniors in Emily Powerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Medical Tech Prep program. Centering their display on the current drug epidemic, the students displayed two pig livers, courtesy of Winners Meats in Greenville, to help discover and discuss the effect of drugs and alcohol on human livers, Hill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A pigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liver is the closest comparable liver to a human liver,â&#x20AC;? she explained. According to Beyke, the

Medical Tech Prep students did research to compare the livers, then presented a display to present their ďŹ ndings with those who visited their booth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really interesting to see peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reactions. There are a lot of people out there who take things for granted,â&#x20AC;? said the future physicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistant. Four seniors representing Greenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Computer Information Systems shared how their class is responsible for the entire school districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s computer tech support, under the supervision of instructor Nathan Sharp. Ryver Lewis, James Graves, Braxton Sandlin and Tyler Carter showcased how they have been working for the school district over the summer months, said Lewis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This Christmas break weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be helping with the transition to the new building,â&#x20AC;? Lewis said of the consolidation of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four buildings housing K-8 students into one facility. The senior CIS students also assisted with the dis-

trictâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent changeover to using Microsoft 365 for staff email accounts as well as using leaning.com to teach K-12 students and staff about Internet safety. Completing the two-year CIS program successfully allows Greenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graduates to by-pass some repetitive

college courses in the computer ďŹ eld, and students are eligible for a Sinclair Community College scholarship. The CIS students also are waiting on conďŹ rmation to take A+ CertiďŹ cation that proves they are qualiďŹ ed to work in computer systems and hardware, Lewis said.

MEMORIES OF THE PAST KAY BROWN’S postcard collection of local towns and subjects was one of the best around Darke County. She was keenly interested in history and in Darke County; this search was a life-long passion. She helped her husband, Pete Brown, run the Central Drug Store from

1946-1967. They helped the Garst Museum ever since then. Pete died in 1995 and was 25 years the President of the Museum. She retired from the museum board four years ago and passed away in 2014 at age 98. She never wanted to live anywhere other than in Greenville. She most enjoyed the GPAT Channel 5 TV broadcasts with former council-person Kathleen Floyd, where they

discussed these same postcards covering 100 years of Greenville/local history. DICK BROWN, son, is also a life-long resident of Greenville and now keeps their postcard collection. Dick graduated from GHS in 1964, Miami University in 1968, taught school for a year, owned McVay’s Sporting Goods for 16 years and was a real estate appraiser for

11 years. He has been vice president of the Darke County Historical Society for the past 20 years. Dick is still involved with the GHS yearbook and has been president of the GHS Alumni Association for the past eight years.

According to the website, www. oldohioschools.com, this school building was built in 1902, but is no longer in existence. The newer Gettysburg School is currently being operated by the Friends of the Cardinal Center.

This picture is dated 1908, which according to www.oldohioschools.com was the same year the school was built. The building was demolished in 2002 when the new Bradford School was opened.

Very little information is available on this school in Arcanum. The photo was dated 1913, which is 10years before the school that was demolished in 2011 was built.

This old school building was one of the first to go in the early 2000s when Ansonia moved its students into one location. This photo dates back to 1911. The site of the former building is now a vacant lot.

SERVING US TROY – Marine Private James Rowan, son of Rick and Carrie Rowan and brother of Ashley Rowan, of Troy, graduated from basic training at Parris Island, SC on Oct. 5, 2016. He is currently at Camp Geiger, NC for Marine Combat Training until mid-November and then will proceed to his Military Occupational Specialty School. He is the grandson of Garry and Peggy Myers, of Laura, Peggy Blacketer, of Troy and Steve Rowan, of Galion. He is a 2016 graduate of UVCC and Troy High

“I had worked at the restaurant for many years when I got the opportunity to purchase it,” Riffle stated. “This place has been a staple of the community for many years. I feel more like I am just the manager or bar keeper than I do the owner and I love that. That is why with every change we make around here we ask for a lot of feedback from the customers and see what their thoughts are to ensure we are making changes that will make their visit better but not alter the character of the establishment.” When asked how running a restaurant while working a full time job works out Riffle replied “Without my supportive girlfriend Kalie Sanders, bar manager (sister in law Jesscia Riffle), great staff and supportive family this business would not be what it is today. There are a ton of people making this place what it is today.” He continued, “We have made a ton of improvements this year and I am very proud of that considering it being our first year.” A lot of the improvements can’t be seen by patrons, but they have made their dining experience better. The Whistle Stop has completed a total makeover of their kitchen as well as new freezers, pizza ovens and deep fryers to help with increased sales. They have also added draft beer and Keno, installed a new surround sound system, developed their website www.whistlebarandgrill. com, implemented a point of sale system, and added a new patio among other new items.

aggressive first year of business.” When asked if he hopes to just settle in during year two, Riffle replied, “We still have a lot we want to do around here. Recently, we went and tested new products such as steaks, pork chops, wraps and new wings. We also want to install our second patio, finalize our online ordering feature, explore a delivery service, complete a few remodeling projects among numerous other ideas. Early next year we will also be announcing some huge news that will be sure to make many residents of Darke and surrounding counties very happy and I can’t wait to share that with our loyal customers.” According to Riffle, they have been very proud of their ability to give back to the community. “We have had benefits, golf outings, bartender nights among many other neat ideas to donate money to worthy causes. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for our small business.” The Whistle Stop is located in Ansonia and is open 6 a.m. to 1 a.m. Monday-Saturday and 9 a.m.-8 p.m. on Sundays.

DAR ready to erect sign at cemetery/park GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dating back to 1932, Fort GreeneVille Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) has been involved with the historical preservation of the Water Street Cemetery. The cemetery has changed hands several times. In 1947, the cemetery

was established as Pioneer Park by the state of Ohio. DAR has received numerous requests and comments as to why a sign has not been erected showing the name of the park. That will soon be remedied when DAR, in conjunction with city of Greenville Park Board, will

erect a sign stating, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Water Street Cemetery, Est. 1816, Pioneer Park, Est. 1947.â&#x20AC;? Fort GreeneVille DAR hired Dustin Nealeigh to design the sign. With the help of the Greenville street superintendent, the pole has been erected and the sign will be hung in late Novem-

ber. Debbie Nisonger, Ft. GreeneVille DAR Regent, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This project is heartfelt due to all the hard work back in the 1990s that others put in to this cemetery being restored to its historical signiďŹ cance.â&#x20AC;? DAR has received funding for the project from the Fort GreeneVille Chapter Regent Fund (with monies primarily from participating in the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Trash Bash); chapter member donation; and Greenville National Bank. They have also applied for grants to help pay for the sign. Donations are still being accepted and can be sent to DAR member Mary Jane Dietrich, 224 Delaware Ave., Greenville, Ohio 45331 or contact at 548-2398. According to historical information from Anita Short, Florence Magoto, Beatrice Campbell and Ft. GreeneVille DAR, In July 1818, land of East Water St., including the burying ground, was deeded to the trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church by John and Margaret Devor. The cemetery was in use from 1816-1853. Several tombstones were relocated to the Greenville Cemetery likely without the bodies due to cholera deaths. The cemetery became the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility in 1888. In 1901, the only known body removed from the Water St. Cemetery took place. The body of Major William

Brian Griesdorn, assistant vice-president at Greenville National Bank, presents a donation to Ft. GreeneVille Chapter DAR members Helen Wright and Caroline Petitjean. (Ryan Berry photo)

Dugan, a Revolutionary Soldier was reburied in the soldierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of Greenville Cemetery. In 1964, the cemetery was transferred from the state back to the city of Greenville.

Members of the Potter family died of Asiatic Cholera ď&#x20AC;Ş John Devor: A proprietor of Greenville, founder who laid out the town (Greenville) with son-in-law Robert Gray ď&#x20AC;Ş Doctor Stephen Perrine: First educated doctor in Darke County and was witness to Devor presenting the cemetery land to the Methodist Episcopal Church trustees ď&#x20AC;Ş Studabaker descendants Soldiers from War of 1812 in the Water St. Cemetery: Abraham House, Abraham Scribner, Azor Scribner, Linus Bascom, Abraham Wills, James Dugan and Aaron Dean.

CHN recognized by 2016 HomeCare Elite GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Comprehensive Health Network announced that once again this year it has been named a Top Agency of the 2016 HomeCare Elite, a recognition of the top-performing home health agencies in the United States. Now in its 11th year, the HomeCare Elite identiďŹ es the top 25 percent of Medicare-certiďŹ ed agencies and highlights the top 100 and top 500 agencies overall. Winners are ranked by an analysis of publicly available performance measures in quality outcomes, best practice (process measure) implementation, patient experience (Home Health CAHPS), quality improvement and consistency, and ďŹ nancial performance. In order to be consid-

ered, an agency must be Medicare-certiďŹ ed and have data for at least one outcome in Home Health Compare. Out of 9,406 agencies considered, 2,353 are elite. And, out of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2,353 home health agencies, CHN is one of the 1,391 agencies receiving repeated recognition from 2015 to 2016. The award is sponsored by OCS HomeCare by national Research Corporation, the leading provider of home health and hospice metrics and analytics, and DecisionHealth, publisher of the most respected independent publication in the home care profession, Home Health Line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 2016 HomeCare Elite winners deserve credit for demonstrating high-

quality care in their communities. As quality care initiatives become top-ofmind for healthcare providers, we recognize this as a remarkable achievement and are pleased to make this our 11th year of acknowledgment for top performing home health organizations,â&#x20AC;? said Christine Lang, VP of Product Development for OCS HomeCare. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We congratulate Comprehensive Health Network on being one of the top home care agencies in the country.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Comprehensive Health Network credits the dedication of our staff for the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to achieve recognition as one of the HomeCare Elite,â&#x20AC;? states Nancy Zechar RN CEO.

Santa is excited to visit Apple Farm Serviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four locations this winter. Santa will be taking pictures with children and their parents/ grandparents from 9 a.m. to noon at each Apple Farm Service location. He will be at their Botkins and Mechanicsburg locations on Dec. 3, and their Covington and West College Corner, Ind., locations on Dec. 10. Apple Farm Service is speechless to have Santa this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are thousands of malls and parades he could have visited, and he chose us! We are tickled!â&#x20AC;? says Apple Farm Service marketing director,

Kent Holmes. To celebrate the big manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit, Apple Farm service is offering free create-yourown ornaments, hot chocolate, cider, and Christmas cards with your picture of Santa. They are also giving away a free 1:16 scale combine toy at each location. The excitement at Apple Farm Service is growing with Santaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit. Their only concern comes from Gary Schumacher, their general manger, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just hope our homemade chocolate chip cookies pass Santaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s testâ&#x20AC;Ś thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only way he would let us repay him!â&#x20AC;?

RC track opens in Greenville CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE - Sunday marked the first official racing event at the newly opened Greenville RC Raceway, located 365 Martin Street in Greenville. Racers from Ohio and Indiana gathered to compete in several radio controlled (RC) class categories on the flat “high-bite” concrete oval track. The space was recently rented out by a group of area racing enthusiasts (Brian Hott, Eric Foudray, Larry Draper, Kenny Hayes, Rich Schafer, Chris Schafer and Derek Funk) who wanted to bring a positive, family-friendly atmosphere to the community. According owner Brian Hott, they plan to hold racing every Saturday and are open for anyone that wants to come out and watch or even compete. Though most racers show up with their own, there are entry-level kits available to purchase for those wanting to race, but don’t have their own car. There are eight different classes available each race day - with a minimum of three entries mandatory to compete in each. This ensures any skill level, from novice to expert, can get involved in the fun. As of now, Hott says they will only be racing for bragging rights, but plans on adding featured and special races with a cash purse to the winner. “We wanted to make sure anyone can have a chance to race if they want,” said Hott. “There are a lot of single dads out there that only get that weekend to spend some good quality time with their kids. Our races are something the whole family can get involved in and have a great time while they are at it.” The 1:10 scale track

has a 70’ x 10’ “sponsor wall” which will be used for local sponsorship to be displayed at each racing event. In addition to their weekly indoor racing, Hott says they plan to hold several ‘monster track’ events outdoors once the warm weather returns. “We hope to add not only the monster track, but a road course race when we can setup outside,” Hott noted. “Our goal is to take this to the next level and hopefully attract some national attention to Greenville, Ohio in the RC racing circuit.” Hott himself has been a ﬁerce competitor all of his life, competing in ATV, motorcycle and stock racing in the late 80’s and 90’s. Today, he shares that competitive nature while bonding with his two sons, Bryce (13) and Rhys (10), that also race radio controlled cars at the new Greenville track. “I feel like I have come full circle. This may be a different kind of racing than what I used to do, but let me tell you that RC competition is taken very seriously,” concluded Hott. “I have always been extremely competitive in everything I do...and there is no doubt I would spin my own mother out in a go-kart race just to win a purple slushie!” Aside from racing, Greenville RC Raceway will have a ‘hobby shop’ for car owners to purchase parts from Redcat and entrylevel cars for beginners. Each weekly racing event is open free of charge to the public with snacks and drinks available. Doors open for practice at 4 p.m. with races set to start at 6 p.m. Entry fees range from just $5 to $15 - with family discounts available.

VERSAILLES – Nineteen teams took on an Animal Allies Challenge during the First Lego League Regional tournament at Versailles High School on Saturday, Nov. 19. Teams of 9-14 year-olds gathered from northwestern Ohio to compete for placement with their Lego robots. For the top six teams, their next stop will be Bowling Green State University for regionals in January. State competition will be held at Wright State University in February, said tournament organizer Christie Rindler, who got involved with the FLL when her son was a participant. Rindler said her goal was to bring a tournament challenge to Versailles. Saturday’s event was a success, with team members, their advisers and volunteers, and parents ﬁlling the school gym for the all-day event, which featured homemade Lego robots . For the 2016 Animal Allies Challenge, each team identiﬁed a problem that happens when animals and humans connect. They were to create an innovative solution that made the interaction better for people and animals or both, then share their solution by maneuvering their robot on a competition table. Assisting Rindler with organizing the tournament

was high school junior Gloria Compos, a student at the Dayton Regional STEM School. Combining science, technology and teambuilding opportunities, the FLL robotics challenge “gives them a really good opportunity, a way of doing things that makes every team member feel valued,” Compos said, unlike some sports, which focuses more on competition alone. The young team members focus on three areas, Compos explained – core values, planning the project at hand and building the robot. “They learn a wide range of skills, she said. The Robo Cougars from VanWert said all they wanted to accomplish this year was to move up from last year’s placement at the district tournament. “All we want to do is move up places,” said Austin Bockrath, 10. “Last year we were second to last. This year we’re in the Top 10.” Bockrath said his team meets twice a week to plan and build their robot and this year concentrated on the tread for their robot’s tires to help maneuver the competition table’s hurdles. Pre-teens Adam Wolfe and Josh Lovitt of the IBots team from the Toledo area said participating in FLL teaches skills on working together, programming and building, using math and science skills needed for future careers.

FLL teams do not have to be limited to school sponsorship, said volunteer Mike Gehron, a Versailles graduate. “There’s a quarter of a million students in the FLL program,” he said, many hosted by companies who will be seeking employees with skills learned from team participation. There’s also a First Lego League Jr. for children in grades K-4, as well as a high school-age program. Teams receive a new challenge In August of each year, as well as a kit they are to use to build their robots. Adult volunteers work with individual teams as well as act as judges during tournaments. Saturday awards went to the following: Volunteer award: Gloria Campos; Mentor Award: team 24252’s Aubrey Ro-

driguez; Rookie Award: Robotkins Lego Legends, Botkins Elementary; Project Award: Wildbots, Hardin-Houston Schools; Project Award: WE WILL BLOCK YOU, Coldwater Middle School; 2nd place Robot Design Award: F.A.S.T. of Eaton; 1st place Robot Design Award: The GOAT, Ft.

Students continue Thanksgiving Feast tradition SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – For 28 years students at St. Marys Catholic School in Greenville have spent the days leading up to Thanksgiving preparing a traditional turkey feast. From chopping fruit for a salad to cleaning and roasting turkeys, each class is assigned a specific dish to prepare. While the turkeys – this year there were six to roast for Wednesday’s feast – are donated by St. Marys’ families, each class brings in food items to prepare their assigned dish. Parent co-chairs for the annual event are Susan Kreusch and Angie Kramer. “The first-graders make the stuffing and stir it up with their hands,” Kramer explained. “At first I was kind of leery, but we kept tasting and it was turning out OK.” Kreusch, a mom of seven, three alumni and four who are currently students at St. Marys, said students and “moms who care” volunteers were preparing food for approximately 200 guests. “Last year we fed 183,” she said. “Food that is left over goes to Grace Resurrection Community Center.” The food is frozen by parish members and used for the community center’s

January meals. St. Marys School also conducts a food drive during Thanksgiving week, collecting around 200 items to donate to local food pantries. Third-grader Drew Beisner said he contributed to the food drive to help those “who didn’t have any food. We can raise money or bring food to them. I think it is important they get food.” The third-graders were in charge of cooking the noodles. “We dumped the noodles in chicken broth to cook,” Beisner explained. Last year, Beisner helped with fruit salad. “By the time each student is through the eighth grade, they’ve made each dish we serve at the feast,” said Kreusch. Eva Kramer helped her fellow second-graders prepare the fruit salad. “We washed the fruit and picked grapes off the stems,” she said. “Then we mixed it all together.” Kramer, who donated “lots of applesauce, animal crackers and bow tie pasta” to her school’s food drive “so they (people in need) can get to eat,” said her favorite feast dish are the noodles “because they’re juicy.” On Monday, eighthgraders prepared and baked 30 pies for Wednesday’s feast. “The crust was really tough to make,” Landon Kreusch admit-

ted. “The ﬁrst one I did fell apart and I had to get help.” Although making homemade pie crust takes patience, Landon’s favorite pie – pumpkin – was a lot easier than his assignment last year as a seventhgrader. “The turkeys were gross. I couldn’t even do the turkeys last year,” he said. Assisting their moms again this year were college students Aubrey Kreusch, a junior actuarial science major at The Ohio State University and Abigail Kramer, who is a senior at Kent State University studying applied math. “We ate McDonald’s dinners while our moms were in the back talking turkeys,” Kreusch said, recalling the years she attended St. Marys and her

mother’s involvement in the annual event. Kramer is pleased the tradition is continuing at St. Marys. “Other than the moms organizing, the kids pretty much do everything else. They are feeding each other.” The annual St. Marys Thanksgiving Feast menu includes punch by the Pre-K students, green beans and corn prepared by the kindergartners, stuffing by the first-graders, fruit salad by secondgraders, noodles by the third grade students, carrots and celery prepared by fourth-graders, veggie dip by the fifth-grade, mashed potatoes by the sixth-graders, turkey prepared by seventh-graders, and pie baked by the eighth-grade students.

GHS pole vaulter AJ Frens signs with Central Michigan University GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Greenville senior AJ Frens, the son of Scott and Lisa Frens signed to compete for the NCAA Division I Central Michigan University menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s track and ďŹ eld team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If feels really great,â&#x20AC;? said Frens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I have been looking forward to since I made my commitment several weeks ago. It just takes a lot of the pressure off this year. I can just relax and have fun.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great for the school, the community, the team, the coaches â&#x20AC;Ś itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awesome,â&#x20AC;? said GHS head track coach Bill Plessinger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure AJ is going to have great success both as an athlete and a student.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for a kid that could listen and be more coachable than what AJ is,â&#x20AC;? said GHS pole vault coach Micah Coblentz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He comes from a great family and he is one of the hardest workers Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had come through.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tall, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fast, he has everything he needs to go and do great things at

Central Michigan,â&#x20AC;? continued Coblentz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since he has been in junior high, he has been a pretty tall kid,â&#x20AC;? Coblentz noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having height is deďŹ nitely an advantage in the vault and a lot of times when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in junior high and you have those tall kids, the agility suffers a little bit. When you are very tallâ&#x20AC;Ś heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one that just can manipulate his body when he wants to.â&#x20AC;? Frens plans to continue his education with possible studies in engineering while continuing his pole vaulting career at the collegiate level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to get a degree,â&#x20AC;? Frens said of his college goals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to compete all four years in track, hopefully letter all four years, compete at the MAC championship.â&#x20AC;? Frens has made several visits to Central Michigan including personal visits with the universities pole vault coach, Bryant Wilson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually met Bryant, the coach at central Michigan,â&#x20AC;? said Frens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I met him at indoor state last year. My parents talked to him while I was competing and they

didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize until later that he was there to watch me. I talked to him for about an hour. We stayed in contact since then.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken two visits to the campus and I really enjoyed it. I met with other track athletes, stayed the night with them and I enjoyed every part of it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big Division I school but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like a big Division I school,â&#x20AC;? Frens added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a smaller compact campus. They still have about 25,000 kids that go there. The facilities are nice. The team isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too big so there will be a lot of one-on-one practices with the coach. That is a big advantage. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something we see here with (GHS Coach) Micha, so it really shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be too big a transition to his coaching staff.â&#x20AC;? Central Michigan, located in Mount Pleasant had targeted Frens as their top pole vault recruit for the 2017 class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do great,â&#x20AC;? Plessinger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the top pole vaulters in the state of Ohio. From what (Coach) Micah was telling me they were really after him and that makes you feel

Back Row: Coach Bill Plessiner, Coach Micah Coblentz â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Front Row Lisa Frens (mother), AJ Frens, Scott Frens (father) (Gaylen Blosser photo)

good when somebody targets your kid, and says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is who we want and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really going to target him.â&#x20AC;? Frens has hopes of building on an already successful high school vaulting career at GHS that includes a personal best of 16â&#x20AC;&#x2122;0â&#x20AC;?, a twotime OHSAA state track and ďŹ eld qualiďŹ er including a ďŹ fth-place ďŹ nish at the DI state meet. With one season of high

school track and ďŹ eld competition still to come, Frens has sights set on the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pole vault record of 16â&#x20AC;&#x2122;1â&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just to get higher,â&#x20AC;? Frens said of his GHS senior season goals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to get the school record. My PR is 16â&#x20AC;&#x2122;0â&#x20AC;? but the school record is 16â&#x20AC;&#x2122;1â&#x20AC;? so I would love to get 16â&#x20AC;&#x2122;2â&#x20AC;?. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ďŹ rst goal but the secondâ&#x20AC;Śthe higher I can get the more scholarship money I can get on top

of what he already gave me. I would like to get to state again and place really well there.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am happy for him,â&#x20AC;? Coach Coblentz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the most important things about this success story is that he has set himself not up not just athletically but academically. It has really set him up well for him to continue his career as Central Michigan.â&#x20AC;?

the boys. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Girls basketball has come leaps and bounds since I ďŹ rst startedâ&#x20AC;Śand the speed of the game,â&#x20AC;? said Stupp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The boys jump out of the gym and they are so quick.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The big change is when we went to three man ofďŹ ciating,â&#x20AC;? added Stupp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives you a little better perspective as to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on, on the ďŹ&#x201A;oor. Six eyes verses four. And the speed, it helps three man because you can kind of beat that player down the ďŹ&#x201A;oor now when two man (ofďŹ ciating team) you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that.â&#x20AC;? Stupp encourages both men and women to take up ofďŹ ciating; not only basketball but all high school sports as the supply of ofďŹ cials continues to decline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My son ofďŹ ciated when he was going to Wright State,â&#x20AC;? Stupp said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was doing reserve games for me and (it) helps pay the bills. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great way to stay active in sports. You can do a little running and get paid for it. I know there is a shortage in soccer, a shortage in volleyball and football.â&#x20AC;? Over the years Stupp has had his share of breaking in new ofďŹ cials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always told everybody when you have to work with newer ofďŹ cialsâ&#x20AC;Śhelp them along,â&#x20AC;?

A stickler for being in shape and taking pride in calling good a game does not mean Stupp and ofďŹ cials always get it right. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aggravating to see some of these guys that are younger just dogginâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; it, over weight, out of shape,â&#x20AC;?

With added pressure to win at the high school level, Stupp understands the tension, stress and pressure that can come with high school coaching. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have never thrown a coach out of a game,â&#x20AC;? said Stupp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could count on one hand all the technicals Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve hadâ&#x20AC;Śnot very many. I listen to a lot more than a lot of people listen to. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just not out there to throw technicals around.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of themâ&#x20AC;Śyouâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a few and everybody knows who that bunch is,â&#x20AC;? said Stupp, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but for the most part coaches are pretty well mannered when it comes to the coaching end of itâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re college guysâ&#x20AC;Śif you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for a new job,â&#x20AC;? continued Stupp.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are a little more lenient at the high school level but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still thereâ&#x20AC;Ś they are supposed to win.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a revolving door at some of the schools,â&#x20AC;? noted Stupp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some schools have a new coach every year. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t build continuity and start at the lower levels and work your way up. The good programs; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing good all the way up.â&#x20AC;? Stupp draws from his 38 years of ofďŹ ciating experience to share advice with players, spectators and parents alike. Stuppâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion of the biggest problem with sports todayâ&#x20AC;ŚParents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The parents are the worst when it comes to basketballâ&#x20AC;Śwhatever sport,â&#x20AC;? stated Stupp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The parents are the worst because they put so much pressureâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;my kid doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t playâ&#x20AC;ŚIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to the school board.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Well, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reason heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably not playing or sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not playing. The coach is not out there to lose games. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s putting out there the best ďŹ ve players he can put out to win a game and sometimes thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not good enough and the parents just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree with that.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just go and watch the game and enjoy it,â&#x20AC;? added Stupp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a referee friend of mine and he would go berserk when his boy played. His coach said, hey John, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;just go and watch the game and quit bellyaching,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and he said you know I took that to heart and the games got so much better to watch. I just sat there and watched.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;When my kids played

people looked at me and would say, what do you think about that,â&#x20AC;? continued Stupp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not ofďŹ ciating the gameâ&#x20AC;Ś Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just watching. So just watch and enjoy because they are only there for three or four years.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You only make it worse. You embarrass the kid and you put pressure on them because some one of the other kids will say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;oh yeah, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your dad up there again,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to embarrass the kids and you feel sorry for them. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a choice.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big issue,â&#x20AC;? Stupp stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just enjoy the game. If you want to yellâ&#x20AC;Ś yell but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get abusive and embarrass your kid. Just enjoy the game. Let the kids enjoy it.â&#x20AC;? Now 69 years old and with 38 years of ofďŹ ciating behind him, Stupp stated he is just year to year but would like to make it to 40 years of ofďŹ ciating and concluded with these thoughts of his ofďŹ ciating career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You try to act professional and call the best game that you can,â&#x20AC;? said Stupp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care who wins or loses. I may be good friends with the coaches that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known for years. If he loses he loses or if they win they win.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You try to be nice to people but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not out there to make friends,â&#x20AC;? concluded Stupp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting paid to ofďŹ ciate that game, do it to the best of your ability and with fairness. The main thing is just treat everybody the way you want to be treated.â&#x20AC;? 1370 KITCHENAID WAY GREENVILLE, OHIO

Indians drop opener to South Adams BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY, Ind. – The Union City Indians took the court Wednesday night to open the 2016-17 season under the direction of new head coach David Barger. The Indians dominated most of the first quarter against the visiting Starfires of South Adams…taking a 10-0 run after the tip. The momentum quickly changed hands as South Adams outscored UC in the second quarter to take a 22-19 lead at the half. “We took our foot off the accelerator after coming out with a 10-0 lead,” Barger told The Early Bird after the game. “We rushed a lot of outside shots that we really didn’t need to take.” Union City came out of the locker room scoring 17 in the third quarter and take a 36-35 lead going in to the last eight minutes of regulation. The Indians once again lost the momentum and the lead, scoring just three points to South Adams’ 18 in the fourth quarter. The Starfires extended their lead to take the game by a final score of 53-39. “We played for 24 of the 32 minutes tonight showing that we are a team who can play and be competitive,” Coach Barger said. “The TEC is a tough conference and we have got to play all four quarters and never take our foot off the gas pedal if we want to win games.” “It is going to take some time to get where we need to be. The guys are being asked to do things they are not used to. As long as they

can continue to take that direction and execute, I am confident we will be successful,” explained Barger. The Indians were led in scoring by senior Isaac Jefferis and junior Trevor Spence with 11 a piece. Senior Tyler Thornhill had seven and junior Zach Bradbury added five points in the effort. “Going forward we need to work on our focus and our assignments on the floor,” Barger added. “We have to keep that focus for all four quarters and not to revert back to old bad habits. I’m just asking them to do things a little different than they are used to, so it is going to be a transition

and the guys just have to keep grinding away at it… we will get there eventually.” The UC junior varsity team went down to the wire against South Adams, but were unable to hit a clutch basket in the ﬁnal seconds and lost 46-44. Union City (0-1) will hit the road for a non-conference battle with Delta High School before returning home Tuesday against Wes-Del.

ARCANUM – Arcanum boys varsity basketball coach Marcus Bixler returns a young team to the court for the 2016-2107 season. “It’s a young team but at least it’s a team that is going to return some experience especially at some key positions for us,” Bixler said. “We have an opportunity to grow and improve on what we were able to do last year.” “We have a lot of guys… we’re fortunate that have been through some of the riggers,” added Bixler. “Hopefully they will be ready to go here the ﬁrst part of the year.” “It will be interesting,” Bixler said of the incoming freshman class; a team that went 38-0 in two previous combined seasons of junior high ball. Coach Bixler views team experience and under-

standing as a strength going in to the new season. “We have kids that understand what is expected of them,” Bixler noted. “They know what is expected whether it be in the class room, the weight room and what we want to do on a ball screen.” “They know the expectations so we’re not reteaching a bunch of new things,” continued Bixler, “instead just making sure that we’re focusing on

some of the details and things we already have in place.” Bixler weighed on how he sees the Cross County Conference (CCC) stacking up for the upcoming season. “There are four or five teams at the top that are going to be solid,” Bixler said. “Tri-Village, Bethel, Miami East and FM (Franklin Monroe) are all going to be pretty solid.” “You have to be able to find a way to knock off somebody like a Tri-Village or something like that, but you have that group,” stated Bixler. “Then like most years, you’ll have those four or five middles and then three or four at the bottom, so it’s very similar to years past.” “I’m not sure there is a runaway team as what there has been the last few years,” Bixler said of the CCC. “I think it will be very interesting between the top three or four.”

Marion Local’s Luke Knapke helps Toledo down Wright State BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

DAYTON – The Wright State Raiders men’s basketball team dropped an 82-78 game to the visiting Toledo Rockets in a Saturday night matchup despite a career-high 39 points from Mark Alstork. “We really fought,” Wright State Coach Scott Nagy. “Our kids played hard, but just about in every category they beat us, not by much, but they beat us.” The Raiders team saw Toledo score eight of the ﬁnal 10 points to get the come-from-behind win at Wright State’s Nutter Center. “We certainly played well enough to win you,” stated Nagy. “Have to give them some credit. They started four seniors…big… which is going to be a little bit of our kryptonite because we’re not very big and not very physical and they are both. I thought our kids fought.” Marie Stein native Luke Knapke drilled a trey to give him three points on the night and grabbed four rebounds in 16 minutes of play for the Rockets. Knapke, a 6’11” redshirt freshman lettered four years in basketball and three years in golf while playing for the Marion Local Flyers and earned Ohio Hoops Division IV second-team all-state honors as a senior. Wright State 6’5” junior Mark Alstork was 15-

25 from the ﬁeld including 3-9 from three point range to lead the Raiders with 39 points, just six points shy of a team record. “I would rather trade them in for a win,” Alstork said of his game leading 39 points. “We hate losing more than we like winning.” “Toledo is going to present problems for everybody,” noted Coach Nagy. “They are good offensively. They came into tonight with three guys averaging over 16 points a game. I’m guessing in Division I there is not another team that has that. They put a lot of guys on

the court that can score… they are hard to guard.”

DAR nominates Summers for award GREENVILLE – The Fort GreeneVille Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution recently nominated retired Chief Warrant Ofﬁcer 2nd Class (CW2) Pamela Carpenter Summers for the 2016 Outstanding Woman Award Women in American History. Summers, a 1973 Greenville High School graduate, distinguished herself by serving in the United States Army for eight years (1973-1981). During her time of service in the Army she was awarded the National Defense Ribbon, Good Conduct, Army Commendation and Korean Defense Service medals. Furthermore, she was one of 13 women who were handselected to attend the United States Army’s Flight School where she

was trained to ﬂy Huey Helicopters. After Summers separated from the Army in 1981, she obtained her civilian helicop-

ter’s license and ultimately became the ﬁrst female to ﬂy the Boeing’s AH-64 Apache Attack helicopter.

lenge in caring for patients – moving them up when they have slid down in their beds. This technology, called The Hercules Patient Repositioner™, includes a unique drive, mattress and sheet combination that allows a single caregiver to safely move a patient back up-in-bed to a comfortable position with the simple push of a button. Hercules can be easily attached to any healthcare bed and can reposition patients weighing up to 500 pounds in less than 10 seconds. “Being pulled up-in-bed using Hercules is very comfortable and our patients love the fact they don’t have to wait for two or three people to perform this task,” said Deb Osborne, RN Charge Nurse for 3North Telemetry Med/Surg unit. “And, I don’t have to worry about our nursing staff getting injured doing it.” Wayne HealthCare is excited about providing this improved level of care for patients. Traditional repositioning methods, such as slide sheets and lifts are disruptive to the patient’s experience. Now, patients don’t have to worry about that negative experience when the caregiver uses Hercules. “This routine part of caring for a patient was often painful and sometimes even embarrassing for our patients. Now, every time we walk into the patient’s room, we can ensure they are in the most comfortable position in bed by simply pushing a button,” said Deb Osborne, RN. Hercules operates much like a conveyor and effortlessly repositions the patient back

Agriculture fertilizer applicator courses COLDWATER â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Agricultural fertilizer applicator certiďŹ cation is required for farmers who apply fertilizer to more than 50 acres of agricultural production grown primarily for sale. This requirement was signed into law in June 2014, and also requires certiďŹ cation for commercial agricultural applicators. Farmers who have all their fertilizer applied by co-ops or custom applicators are not required to be certiďŹ ed. Farmers and applicators need to attend a training course offered by Ohio State University Extension to become certiďŹ ed. Those who have a pesticide applicator license need to attend a two-hour fertilizer certiďŹ cation when they recertify their pesticide license. If an applicator does not have a pesticide license, they are required to attend a three-hour fertilizer certiďŹ cation. Two, three-hour certiďŹ cation programs are being offered. One will be on

Dec. 8, at Shaneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park in Rockford. The program will start at 4:45 p.m. with a light meal sponsored by Mercer Landmark. The training course will be from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. The second program will be on Dec. 9, at the Coldwater American Legion. This program will start at 11:15 a.m. with a light

lunch sponsored by Mercer Landmark. The training course will be from noon to 3 p.m. These free programs will meet the certiďŹ cation requirements for those with and without a pesticide license. Preregistration is required by calling OSU Extension, Mercer County at 419-5862179.

Naturally Fit Series will meet Nov. 28 GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Darke County Parks is hosting a series of ďŹ tness programs called Naturally Fit occurring the fourth Monday of every month. Everyone wants to lead healthier lives and spend more time outdoors. However, workout machines arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always environmentally friendly, and gyms arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very exciting. Besides, sometimes life just gets in the way. Use these programs as an excuse to schedule time outside and get moving. Each of these programs focuses more on ďŹ tness

than nature, with everyone moving at their own pace, whether thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one loop or 10. The November program will take place Nov. 28, 4:30 p.m., at Routzong Preserve which has 1.5 miles of trails through 55 acres of beech and maple forest. The park is located on Routzong Road just a half mile north of State Route 571 east of Greenville. Meet there, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to bring a water bottle. For questions or weather updates, call the Nature Center at 548-0165.
