GREENVILLE – Greenville’s newest police officer, Shayne Scantland was sworn in to office Monday, Dec. 5. Scantland, a 2009 Greenville High School graduate, earned his degree from Clark State Police Academy and is looking forward to continuing his life of public service with the department. “I want to be here for the community,” he said. Scantland’s first assignment will be as a patrol officer.

Scantland, who also serves as an EMT for the Greenville Township Fire and Rescue, is no stranger to public service. He’s also worked with the Arcanum Police Department and as a dispatcher and corrections officer with the Darke County Sheriff’s Office. Scantland and his wife Alyssa are parents of a daughter, Alayna and are expecting a baby boy later this month. Scantland joins a force of 22 police officers serving the Greenville Police Department.

Council limits raise; Wants resolution to Erwin Bros. RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Some Greenville City Council members will be getting an increase in compensation when 2018 gets here, but it won’t be as much as the Finance Committee suggested. In a report to council on Dec. 6, the committee suggested keeping the treasurer’s compensation at $6,000 while increasing the pay for President of Council and Council Members at Large to $7,200 and $6,000, respectively. Council members were content with the increase for President of Council, but not with the increase for the Council At-Large Position. Councilman Todd Oliver said, “I can agree with a lot of what was said here and I can agree with the intent…I think $6,000 is a bit much, but the current rate should be increased.” The position currently receives $4,400 annually. Council members representing wards receive $4,800. Tryon explained the current salary for Council Members at Large has not increased the interest in running for these positions. “Looking at today’s society with the number of meetings it takes and the boards we are directed to sit on, we felt making the compensation higher would bring more qualiﬁed individuals with an interest of serving the city. It is still only $500 a month,” said Tryon. Other council members noted the salary didn’t ﬁgure into their decision to run for the position. Councilwoman Dori Howdieshell added, “I ran to serve this city and not looking at the money.” “If possible, you could amend line 3 (Council at Large salary) to $5,200, I

would be more than willing to accept this full report,” said Oliver. After Council President John Burkett suggestion that an amendment to the report could be made, Oliver said, “I would like to amend line item 3 to read for the compensation of Council Members at Large be set at $5,400.” The amendment was approved by council with Councilman Leon Rogers voting against. Rogers was also the lone dissenting vote to accept the committee’s amended report. The legislation was added to the agenda and council had an opportunity to ofﬁcially approve the compensation rates. The rates for treasurer and President of Council passed unanimously. However, the legislation to set compensation for Council At-Large did not receive enough votes to be read a second and third time, which means the issue will appear on the agenda at the Dec. 20 meeting of council. During the portion of the meeting when council members get to speak on any topic they choose, Councilman Tryon urged the city to work with Erwin Bros. and the Darke County Commission to ﬁnd a speedy resolution to allow the business to open its truck stop. He referred to the editorial cartoon regarding the issue in The Early Bird and public opinion. “This looks bad,” he said. He added, “We are doing a disservice, not just to the Erwins, but also to the other small services that provide merchandise to the business. This business is backed by a local institution.” Rogers agreed and added, “We are talking about economic development. We need to get this resolved. We are putting a black eye on the city and county.”

GREENVILLE – Beginning with the East building on Jan. 28, Greenville City Schools will be auctioning contents of the four schools slated to be razed in 2017. “This is an opportunity for the public to pick up an item to remember a building.” said Superintendent Doug Fries. “It is the district’s pleasure to hold the auctions and allow the public a chance to get a keepsake and reminisce.” Midwest Auctioneers & Realty Inc. has been commissioned to oversee the auctions, which will be held at 30-day intervals. East’s auction will be held Jan. 28, with dates still to be approved for South School, Woodland Heights and the Junior High. All four of the district’s buildings are slated to be razed, as recommended by the Ohio School’s Facilities Commission. Greenville’s K-8 grade students will begin classes Jan. 12 at the new facility on Ohio Street following their extended Christmas

break. “It’s going to be an interesting process to get through,” said Carla Surber, district treasurer. The four auctions will include thousands of items, Surber said. “It has been a very, very interesting year from all the things going on with the new building and everything we have to do with the disposal of the old building,” Surber noted. “There’s a lot of things we have to look at when disposing of assets.” For example, Surber mentioned taking care not to divulge student records, as well as copy machines which have hard drives – with a record of paperwork that was printed for school use. “A lot of things have to have special consideration,” Surber said. Bidders will have three options, explained Mike Baker, Midwest auctioneer/broker. “There will be a live onsite auction at each building. Along with that we will use Proxibid – a live online bidding platform.” The third option will be pre-bidding, Bakr said. “If

someone can’t make the auction (at the site or live online), they can place a pre-bid,” he explained. Items will be catalogued and auctioned in numerical order. A catalogue for downloading will be available at Midwest’s website about three weeks prior to each auction at www. midwest-auctioneers.com. The catalogues will include photos of items to be auctioned. “Each building has its own unique items,” Baker said. “Once the move has been made (to the new school) we’ll be able to get in and start” the cataloguing process. The district hopes to begin moving to the new fa-

cility Dec. 19. Items for auction will include student and teacher desks and chairs, lockers, storage cabinets and shelving, antique book cases, trophy cases, wall hangings, teaching supplies and aids, antique book cases, white boards, ofﬁce equipment, computers, and other electronics, laboratory supplies and equipment, projectors, sound equipment and musical instruments; sports and gym equipment, retractable cafeteria tables and other cafeteria items, commercial kitchen and restaurant equipment and appliances, shop items and tools, storage shed outbuildings, and many more items.

Retirement nears for veteran Greenville police ofﬁcer CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – With more than three decades with the Greenville Police Department, Sgt. Scott Drew will hand in his badge and be officially offduty on Jan. 20, 2017. Drew joined the department on July 25, 1983 where he remained as a patrol officer until being promoted to Sergeant in 1995. Although he technically retired once before, he has remained on the force for the last eight years as part of the Ohio Police & Fire’s Deferred Retirement Option Plan (DROP) program. In his 33.5 year career with the GPD, the 56-yearold veteran peace officer says he has just about seen and done it all. From helping an old lady fix a washing machine to helping out with a local double murder investigation, Sgt. Drew has always been there to serve the community he loves so dearly. “Bob Reed was my first Sergeant and later became Lieutenant, gave me several “nuggets” of wisdom that have served me well throughout the years,” Drew recalled. “One of the first that really stuck with me was that everyone that calls the police or walks though our front door deserves our service. It doesn’t matter if you like the person or not…you help them.”

Over the years Drew says the biggest problems have always involved drugs and alcohol, which fuel most crimes in Greenville. He recalls how most weekends were spent pulling over drunk drivers and breaking up bar fights on Broadway. Today, the heroin epidemic has totally changed the type of crimes and calls he and his fellow officers deal with almost daily. “Things are just so different than I have ever seen,” noted Drew. “Heroin has a firm grip on not just our community, but the country. There really is no end in sight and that is scary!” Drew says he is ready to retire from the force for a couple reasons. Physically, he has noticed he is not the “young cop” he once was and knows it can be cause for concern when lives are on the line. Another big reason for leaving the department is ongoing safety concerns from his family. “With all the things going on involving police officers around the country, you definitely need to be on your toes at any given moment,” Drew explained. “My wife and my daughter have asked on several occasions when I am going to give it up. After a lot of talking and praying about it, I know it is time.” A lifelong resident of Greenville, Scott graduated from GHS in 1978. He has two children, Heather Sowers, who is now 34,

and Brandon Drew, age 31. He also has two step-children with his wife Tammy – 21-year-old Kalista and 16-year-old Simeon King. Over the years he has made many lasting friendships, including a lifelong one with current Greenville Police Chief Dennis Butts. “Scott and I have known each other since the sixth grade and I consider him my brother…we are that close,” stated Chief Butts. “He is an extremely valuable asset to not only the department, but to the City of Greenville. His dedication and the way he conducts himself with the caring and compassion he has for people is not something you can train – it comes from the heart!” “He is going to be sorely missed around here…sorely,” the Chief added.

One of the biggest things Sgt. Drew says he will miss is working the community. Fortunately, he will most likely continue to work with the public as part of a new job opportunity that has presented itself…though he is not yet conﬁrming where that may be. He says he and his family will continue to serve in their church. He is most thankful for his wife Tammy who has helped bring him close to God, which has made him a better man. “I really look forward to what lies ahead. I may be saying goodbye to what most people know me as, but will be welcoming many new friendships and opportunities as my life takes on a new direction,” Drew concluded.

YOLO’s proposed park for downtown is off and running BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The YOLO organization isn’t going to waste any time now that they have the approval by Greenville City Council to proceed with their plans for an urban park

with a water feature at the corner of South Broadway and Martin Streets. “I’m going to make a call tonight to start working on the actual design plans,” said Phillip Pierri of YOLO after council approved an ordinance grant-

ing permission to the organization to make improvements to the city parking lot at that location. Prior to the vote, Pierri told council members, “We are just a small group of people that want to make

Here’s Your Retirement “To Do” List

At this time of year, your life is probably more hectic than usual, so you may have assembled an impressive “to do” list. This can be a helpful tool for organizing your activities in the near future – but have you ever thought of developing a “to do” list for long-term goals, such as a comfortable retirement? If not, you may want to think about it – and here are a few list-worthy items to consider: • Examine – and re-examine – your planned retirement age. You may have long counted on retiring at a certain age, but are you sure that this goal is the best one for your overall ﬁnancial situation? Think about it: If you like your job, and you stayed at it for just a few more years, you could signiﬁcantly boost the funds in your 401(k) or other retirement plan, and you might even be able to delay taking Social Security – which, in turn, would result in larger monthly payments. • Put a “price tag” on your retirement lifestyle. When you retire, do you want to travel the world or stay at home pursuing your hobbies? Will you truly retire from all types of work, or will you do some consulting or take up parttime employment? Once you know what your retirement lifestyle might look like, you can better estimate your costs and expenses – and this knowledge will help you determine how much you need to withdraw each year from your various retirement accounts, such as your IRA, 401(k) or other employerbased plan. • Be aware of retirement plan withdrawal rules. It isn’t enough just to recognize how much you need to withdraw from your retirement plans – you also must know how

much you must withdraw. Once you turn 70½, you generally have to start taking money out of your traditional IRA and 401(k). These required minimum distributions, or RMDs, are based on your account balance, age and other factors, but the key word to remember is “required” – if you don’t withdraw the full amount of the RMD by the applicable deadline, the amount not withdrawn can be taxed at a 50% rate. • Review your health care situation. When you turn 65, you will likely be eligible for Medicare, but you’ll want to become familiar with what it does – and doesn’t – cover, so you can establish an annual health care budget. And if you are planning to retire early, which might mean losing your employersponsored health insurance, you will need to be prepared for potentially large out-of-pocket costs. • Think about long-term care. One service that Medicare doesn’t cover – or, at best, covers only minimally – is long-term care. If you faced an extended stay in a nursing home, the costs could be catastrophic. A financial professional may be able to help you find a way to reduce this risk. • Develop your estate plans. Estate planning can be complex, involving many different documents such as a will, a living trust, power of attorney, etc. So you’ll want to work with a legal professional to ensure you’re making the right choices for yourself and your family. By checking off these items, one by one, your retirement “to do” list will eventually get “done.” And when that happens, you may find yourself pretty well prepared to enjoy life as a retiree.

Greenville better than it already is. We are going to ask that you put that trust in us and let us do our part for downtown Greenville.” Matt Jordan called for the enhancement to help make the city an enjoyable place to live in the future. “One way to accomplish this is to make downtown as appealing as possible for businesses to locate and set up shop,” he said. Also speaking in support of the project were individuals with a vested interest in making the downtown area and all of Darke County a better place. Matt Staugler, executive director of the Darke County Visitors Bureau, and Amber Garrett, executive director of Main Street Green-

ville, emphasized they were happy to write a letter of support for the YOLO organization when applying for grant funds through the state of Ohio. Garrett added, “We would love to see this park as part of the downtown district.” Mike Bowers, economic development director, noted that as a mayor and now in his position, he has talked to site selectors and one of the biggest things they look at when coming to a community is their downtown. “When you look at how some of the mall areas are being developed now. When you look at the Greene (in Beavercreek) and you look at the one they are getting ready to put up in Huber Heights off of Route 70. They are designing those malls

Preschoolers invited for DCP program GREENVILLE – Darke County Parks Naturalist Mandy Martin invites preschoolers to join her for the December Parent and Preschool Adventures programs.

as small downtown areas. We’ve already got that in place. This is just an addition.” Not everyone was in support of the plan. Mark Hagee believes there are big safety and trafﬁc concerns at this location. He said, “I’ve not heard a real good use for this park. A splash pad – the city is looking at putting a splash pad in at South Park. Concerts – there’s not much room and the noise is bad. You’ve got a park (Annie Oakley Park) set up across the street for concerts and it’s not used. You’ve got a park across the street where people can eat lunch in and it’s not used.” He continued, “We can’t pay for what we have now.” The proposed project is expected to cost approximately $750,000. According to Pierri, $400,000 has been raised with $250,000 coming from a state of Ohio grant as well as contributions from Zechar-Bailey, Second National Bank, Wayne HealthCare/Wayne HealthCare Foundation and sponsorship funding from the YOLO Festival of Races. YOLO estimates the cost for maintenance and upkeep of the park will be from $11,900 to $27,100 yearly. The estimate doesn’t take into account the cost of electricity or water.

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT

Greenville police respond to drug overdoses On Dec. 3 an ofďŹ cer spoke with a complainant on North Gray Street who said her friend Ronnie Jones had been staying at her residence and was currently inside waving a broom handle. She also told the ofďŹ cer Jones had overdosed on heroin earlier that day. Two ofďŹ cers entered the house and located Jones in the kitchen erratically pacing back and forth while swinging the broom handle around. His face was red and he was trembling, mumbling â&#x20AC;&#x153;they stole all my dope.â&#x20AC;? An ofďŹ cer asked Jones to drop the broom handle numerous times. He continued for a few minutes until he eventually dropped the handle, but continued to pace back and forth hitting his head with both ďŹ sts while screaming. OfďŹ cers ďŹ nally got Jones into a cruiser, after patting him down. They transported him to Wayne HealthCare. When they opened the rear door of the cruiser, they saw he was holding a needle in his hand. The cruiser had been checked prior to Jones riding in the back seat. OfďŹ cers escorted Jones into the emergency room where he was treated and charged with possession of the needle. On Dec. 4 an ofďŹ cer was dispatched to assist Greenville Rescue in the 100 block of Deshler Avenue on the report of a known suspect who had possibly overdosed. Upon arrival, the ofďŹ cer entered the residence and found Justin Fitzger-

ald lying on the bathroom ďŹ&#x201A;oor. Fitzgerald was unresponsive and was being treated by Greenville Rescue. A squad member pointed out a syringe lying on the ďŹ&#x201A;oor near the suspect. The complainant told the ofďŹ cer Fitzgerald entered the bathroom to take a shower and after a few minutes had passed, she could hear him making funny noises. She said it sounded like he was gargling and short of breath so she went into the bathroom and saw the suspect lying on the ďŹ&#x201A;oor unresponsive. Greenville Rescue administered two doses of Narcan to Fitzgerald before he woke up and was responsive. The suspect would not say what happened or if he had taken anything. Greenville Rescue transported Fitzgerald to Wayne HealthCare for treatment. The syringe was placed into property as evidence. A report was submitted to the prosecutorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ ce for possible charges for possession of a drug abuse instrument. Breaking and Entering On Dec. 4 the Church of the Brethren reported a breaking and entering, which occurred between Friday, Dec. 2 and Saturday, Dec. 3. The church

was unlocked all day Friday for various members to come and go. The church was also used on Saturday by members of the congregation for music practice. When the pastor entered the church Saturday morning he thought he heard the ďŹ re doors close. A church member who was practicing piano saw a door knob broken sometime Saturday morning on the secretaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ ce door. The suspect(s) entered through a rear basement window, which faces the alley. The window was broken, unlocked and slid open to make an easy entry. The suspect(s) could have left the rear door ajar as leaves were blown inside the doorway. The suspect(s) made entry into the secretaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and pastorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ ces, pried the door pins off of a safe and broke the safeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tumbler. Latent prints were lifted from the scene. There are no suspects at this time. Wanted person On Dec. 6 an ofďŹ cer received an anonymous tip about a wanted subject with two active warrants staying at a residence in the 1000 block of Harrison Avenue. Upon arrival, the ofďŹ cer was able to identify Sterling Seiler through an uncovered

Darke County hunters bag 259 deer COLUMBUS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hunters checked 66,759 whitetailed deer during Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2016 deer-gun hunting season, Nov. 28-Dec. 4, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). Last year, hunters checked 73,392 deer over the weeklong deer-gun season. Locally, Darke Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hunters checked in 259 deer. The number is down from 2015 when hunters checked in 282 deer. Mercer, Miami and Preble Counties had similar numbers. Mercer County had 262 deer checked in (235 in 2015), Miami County had 196 this year and 235 in 2015, and Preble County had 235 this year and 284 last year. Coshocton and Tuscarawas Counties led the state with 2,325 and 2,045 deer, respectively. Two days (Saturday, Dec. 17, and Sunday, Dec. 18) of deer-gun season remain. The muzzleloader season is Jan. 7-10, 2017, and archery season remains open through Sunday, Feb. 5, 2017. The ODNR Division of

Wildlife remains committed to properly managing Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deer populations. The goal of Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Deer Management Program is to provide a deer population that maximizes recreational opportunities, while minimizing conďŹ&#x201A;icts with landowners and motorists. Hunting is the best and most effective management tool for maintaining Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthy deer population. Ohio ranks ďŹ fth nationally in resident hunters and 11th in the number of jobs associated with huntingrelated industries. Hunting has a more than $853 million economic impact in Ohio through the sale of equipment, fuel, food, lodging and more, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hunting in America: An Economic Force for Conservation publication. ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the beneďŹ t of all. Visit the ODNR website at ohiodnr.gov.

window. Two other ofďŹ cers went to the rear of the residence because Seiler has been known to run from law enforcement. As the ďŹ rst ofďŹ cer approached the front of the residence an unknown female opened the front screen door and asked if she could help. Seiler stood up from a chair and yelled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dad, the cops are here for me.â&#x20AC;? The ofďŹ cer ordered Seiler to come outside and advised him he was under arrest for his active warrants. According to the report, Seiler took a few steps back into the kitchen and said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nah, man Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m goodâ&#x20AC;? and began to run for the back door at which point the ofďŹ cer advised the other two ofďŹ cers Seiler was trying to ďŹ&#x201A;ee out the back. After Seiler began to run an ofďŹ cer entered the residence and followed behind him. Seiler exited through the back door to meet one of the other ofďŹ cers. Seiler was ordered to the ground. He resisted at ďŹ rst and then complied with the ofďŹ cersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; commands. Seiler was transported to the Darke County Jail where he was incarcerated with a $6,050 bond for all charges. The warrant was for failing to appear on the original charges of ďŹ&#x201A;eeing, drug abuse, driving under suspension and stop sign violation.

Walden started as a circulation clerk and transitioned to the director role 16 years ago, after spending time as the Associate Director. She has seen a number of changes during her time at the library, including a major addition, automation, and joining the COOL consortium. The consortium offers improved services to patrons, including access to the materials of all consortium libraries, the ability to use their library card at any of them, and return materials at member libraries. The nearest COOL libraries are Worch Memorial in Versailles and J.R. Clarke in Covington. The staff is excited about the new app to give easier access, just search the app store for â&#x20AC;&#x153;cool library.â&#x20AC;? In addition to the reception on Dec. 15, Santa will also be visiting from 5 to 7:30 p.m. and there will be crafts for the kids. Be sure to see the gingerbread house contest entries in the display cases and pick up your copy of the annual cookbook. Other current programs include Story Time, AfterWords, and TNT (Teens and Tweens).

Matt Blocher, Steve Blocher and Rick Pierri put the ďŹ nishing touches on the stable for St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School Live Nativity.

St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prepares for Live Nativity GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; On Dec. 12, 7 p.m., the students of St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School will present a live Nativity on the grounds of the school, at the corner of West Main and Elm Street. A life-size manger has been constructed by volunteers, with materials donated by Flaig Lumber, New Madison, and it will provide the setting for the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

portrayal of the birth of Jesus. All grades at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School, from Preschool through eighth grade, will participate in the telling of this ageless story, with live narration interspersed with the singing of Christmas carols. The public is invited and refreshments in the school cafeteria will follow the presentation.

Community Christmas Drive off to good start GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; After the ďŹ rst two weekends of the Darke County Community Christmas Drive, donations have been generous in helping those in need in our community, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a long way to go in order to reach or exceed the total for 2015. On the ďŹ rst four days of the drive the amounts given were $1,914.58, $2,605.55, $2,300.57 and $2,265.95 for a total so far of $9,086.65. Because of the generous giving of many Darke County residents, the lives of many less fortunate residents will be impacted in a very signiďŹ cant way. The contributions will be distributed to help support

the good work of FISH, the Grace Resurrection Community Center, the Salvation Army and Community Unity in addition to the ministries of the Faith United Methodist Food Bank in Arcanum, the Ansonia United Methodist Food Bank and the Castine Area Food Bank. The last four days of the drive will be Dec. 16, 17, 22 and 23. Besides giving at the 11 different locations in the county, donations may be sent to the Darke County Community Christmas Drive at P.O. Box 396, Greenville, Ohio 45331. Questions may be directed to co-chairman Joseph Soley at (937) 547-0533.

ON YOUR MIND

READERS WRITE Article is Encouraging

In response to Dec 4, 2016 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Transgender bathroom issueâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;?, although the debate and opinions regarding this topic are quite polarizing, Ms. Hartleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s article is encouraging. Mr. Fries and Mr. Cassell are permitting equal and fair representation of opinion. We should be proud that the attempt to comply with Title IX, and more simply basic human rights that are fair and equal, is currently being handled at our local level and not from an external edict. Michael Pelger, Jr., Greenville ------------------------------Thank you

To the Editor: I would like to give a grateful thank you to Shane Colby at the County Garage and to Rudy Teaford. We live back in the woods and have lots of wildlife that we see oftenâ&#x20AC;Ś almost enough to seem like

â&#x20AC;&#x153;ours.â&#x20AC;? When one of the deer was hit on Kruckeberg and left for several days, I called various places in the County and Township for help and did not receive any returned calls; however, I eventually talked with Shane Colby who was quite understanding and helpful and he contacted Rudy Teaford to move itâ&#x20AC;Śtheir quick response within an hour or so was so appreciated. I know that there are many more important things on the agenda than this situation, but Mr. Colby and Mr. Teaford renewed my faith in the government system to help out the community. In addition to my phone call to them with thanks, I would like them to be commended for their assistance and their helpful attitudes. They are appreciated. Thank you, Patti Jetter, Greenville

MADD praises passage of drunk driving bill COLUMBUS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Ohio General Assembly unanimously passed HB 388, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lawâ&#x20AC;? to increase the use of ignition interlocks and prevent tragedies caused by drunk driving. The Senate passed Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Law 31-0, followed by concurrence by the House 91-0. Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Law, authored by Representative Gary Scherer and led through the Senate by Senator Bob Peterson and Senator Jay Hottinger, is named in honor of Annie Rooney, a Chillicothe resident who was killed by a drunk driver on July 4, 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The entire Rooney family is relieved that this piece of legislation will ďŹ nally be enacted into law. We are also relieved for all of the past victims in the state of Ohio who have tragically been killed by this 100% preventable crime,â&#x20AC;? said Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Walt Rooney, on behalf of the Rooney family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This policy will save lives, and we are thankful to the representatives and senators, as well as the many constituents who made their voices heard by sending letters, phone calls and emails to their legislators. The legislators commented that thousands of people contacted their senators over the past month. And ďŹ nally, we and all of Ohio are most grateful for the contributions of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, who have poured tremendous resources into helping us get this bill passed, to allow Ohio to take this step to our vision of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No More Victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.â&#x20AC;? Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Law reduces a 12-month license suspension period by half for ďŹ rst offenders if they use an ignition interlock for at least six months. Ignition interlocks prevent a car from starting when alcohol is detected on the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breath. Unlike license suspensions and route- and time-restricted driving privileges, use of ignition interlocks allow for unrestricted driving, provided

the driver is sober. Currently in Ohio, interlocks are required for repeat offenders and are up to judgesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; discretion for ďŹ rst-time offenders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Law provides a new incentive for more drunk drivers to use the technology that we know reduces repeat offenses by up to 67 percent,â&#x20AC;? said MADD National President Colleen Sheehey-Church. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am humbled by the Rooney family and their tireless work to pass this law to honor the memory of their daughter and sister Annie. They have worked alongside a dedicated team of MADD volunteers and MADD Ohio staff. MADD thanks Representative Scherer, Senator Peterson and Senator Hottinger for their commitment to the safety of all Ohioans.â&#x20AC;? As part of MADDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving, now in its 10th year, one of MADDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top legislative priorities is to improve ignition interlock laws in every state. States with the strongest ignition interlock laws, such as West Virginia and New Mexico which require them for all drunk driving offenders, have seen reductions in drunk driving deaths of 50 and 38 percent, respectively. In February, MADD released its ďŹ rst-ever ignition interlock report to show how many times ignition interlock have stopped someone from driving drunk. Across the nation, ignition interlocks have stopped more than 1.77 million drunk driving attempts.

This coming week will mark two milestones in the Berry household. Both have me ďŹ&#x201A;abbergasted. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not even sure if ďŹ&#x201A;abbergasted is strong enough to describe the way I feel. Imagine you are single (I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to promote inďŹ delity) and a supermodel has just asked you to spend the night, but you realize you forgot to reďŹ ll your Viagra prescription. Now repeat that scenario over and over for a week. Obviously this analogy doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work as well for a woman, but if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known any guy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; any guy at all â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you can understand where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going.

Health dept. hours listed

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Darke County Health Department will be closed for the holidays on Monday, Dec. 26, and Monday, Jan. 2, 2017. Also, there will be no immunization clinic on Tuesday, Dec. 27. That means only two immunization clinics remain for this year. The clinic will be open on Dec. 13 and 20 from 8-10:30 a.m. and 2-5 p.m. on a walk-in basis. As 2016 comes to an end it is a good idea to check your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immunization record to be sure it is up to date. The Health Department has vaccines for all ages, and can accept Medicare, Medicaid and several private insurances. Flu vaccine is still available from age six-months to adult.

eye. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been going through this past week. The ďŹ rst milestone is my oldest daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday. By the time this is printed she will have completed 18-years of life. The little baby girl who would coo and smile at us is all grown up and snarls and rolls her eyes at us. The little toddler we taught to walk and talk we now tell to sit down and shut up. Before you ask, yes I have had â&#x20AC;&#x153;the talkâ&#x20AC;? with her. No, not that one. The one dads have with their children. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve reminded her that anything she does from here on out could put her in an adult court. She is well aware that she has lost her chance to appear before the juvenile court judge as a defendant. I know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve written a lot about both of my daughters, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of both of them. Even though they are sisters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they are nothing alike. My youngest was almost two weeks late, but was born 10 minutes after we got to the hospital. Today, she is stubborn and does things when she wants, but when she wants to do something

Committee meets December 12

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Personnel and Public Relations Committee for Greenville City Council will meet Dec. 12, 9 a.m., in the City Council Chambers, Municipal Building. The committee will consider the installation of a web camera for the purpose of digitally recording various council proceedings. The recordings would be published via the internet for public viewing. The committee will evaluate the necessity for and rules of operation of deemed necessary.

she does it quickly. My oldest daughter put my wife in labor for 20 hours and came out looking out of the window â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for the uninformed, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the proper way to be looking. That really has been her personality. She forgoes doing things the way most people would and does it her way. She usually ends up with the same result, but it leaves the rest of scratching our heads and saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;huh?â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited for her as she begins her years as an adult and look forward to seeing who and what she will become. The second milestone this week is my anniversary. Okay, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anniversary, too. We will be celebrating 20-years as a married couple. (My oldest daughter already did the math and was disappointed to learn we were married before she was conceived.) During that time, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty safe to say that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never had a ďŹ ght or argument â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from 3:304:30 a.m. People often ask me how my wife puts up with me. Believe me when I say

she holds her own with her sarcasm and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let me get by with anything. She is the perfect complement to my personalityâ&#x20AC;ŚAnd, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more afraid of her than she is of me. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if it was the age difference or if it was because we were both red heads (at least we were red heads then â&#x20AC;&#x201C; our hair color is changing), but the person who married us didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give us two years. I told the minister, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dad (the minister was my dad), I love her and she loves me. This will work.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only one who thought this marriage was doomed from the start. I may get mad at her and she might occasionally have a reason to get mad at me, but I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want anyone else by my side. Even when I storm out of the house I know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be back. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the syrup on my wafďŹ&#x201A;es and the ketchup on my cheeseburger. Without her, life (and wafďŹ&#x201A;es and cheeseburgers) would be boring.

the very proud grandparents of Grennan and Charlotte Bartlett-Nealeigh. Tim and Katheleen are retired Darke County teachers: Tim from TriVillage High School and Katheleen from Greenville High School. During their teaching years, both were honored by fellow teachers by being named “Teacher of the Year” for their respective districts. Tim was also Darke County “Teacher of the Year.” Both were chosen by former students several times for inclusion in the national publication “Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers.” The Nealeighs continue to be active in St. Louis Church, where Tim has directed the choir for over 40 years. They are well known 18th and 19th Century Living History performers, travelling throughout the eastern half of the country to such venues as George Washington’s Mount Vernon in Virginia, which honored them this year for two decades of appearances at the site.

DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;DCCA is thrilled to be able to bring this delightful and entertaining show to

our community and thanks GNB for helping make it possible; A Christmas Carol provides the perfect vehicle to ďŹ ll audiences of all ages with the true spirit of the season.â&#x20AC;?

Winners recognized in national publication OSGOOD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; US Business Executive, a TrueLine Publishing-owned business-to-business trade journal striving to build strong connections within the many sectors of the U.S. agricultural industry, compiles an annual Best of the United States (BOTUS) list that recognizes companies across the country. These companies commit their enterprises to success, satisďŹ ed employees, and superior products. This year, the journal is honoring Robert Winner Sons, Inc. as of its 2016 Best of the United States companies. According to a press release from the publication, the Winners were named in large part to â&#x20AC;&#x153;its industry contributions and the forward-thinking nature of the company.â&#x20AC;? The four-page spread looks at how the local company is adapting to a changing meat industry. Although a well-established business in Darke County, the company has

been affected by factory farming operations, less livestock in the area and the lack of qualiďŹ ed livestock haulers. However, the company is ďŹ nding ways to move forward, whether it is through a strong presence on social media, using owner/operator truck drivers, processing more of their own livestock or reaching out to local grocers to carry their products in addition to their own retail store.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Agriculture is one of the top hiring sectors in the U.S., but few high school and college students currently intend to pursue a career in agriculture. In fact, recent research shows that employers have nearly 60,000 job openings in agriculture each year, but only approximately 35,000 students graduate each year with a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree or higher in agriculture. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farmers Grow Ag Leaders program, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund and administered by the FFA, awards scholarships to help develop the next generation of agriculture leaders. Now through Feb. 1, 2017, Darke County students looking to pursue higher education

in an agriculture-related ďŹ eld of study from a two- or four-year program or trade school are eligible to apply for a $1,500 scholarship in the program. This year, more than 350 scholarships totaling more than $500,000 will be awarded. Scholarships are available for a variety of ag-related ďŹ elds including: farming, agronomy, education, science, technology, business, communications and more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The agriculture ďŹ eld provides many exciting and important career opportunities for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students, and we feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to support youth who are pursuing their studies in this growing and dynamic industry,â&#x20AC;? said Al Mitchell, Monsanto Fund president.

GHS grad Stetson Zumbrun invited to play in College Senior Classic GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville High School class of 2013 alum Stetson Zumbrun has been invited to play in the 8th annual “D3 Senior Classic”. “I am very honored to get invited,” Zumbrun told the Early Bird. “Another one of my offensive line buddies and I received the honor. It’s not something everyone gets a chance to do.” “We are really proud of the things that Stetson has been able to do at the collegiate level at Muskingum, to be able to play and represent himself, his family our program and our community and now be able to do it on a national scale with this senior showcase for Division III players,” said Greenville football coach Aaron Shaffer. “It’s a really neat opportunity.” Zumbrun, a 6’2” 245 pound right tackle for the Muskingum Muskies received the prestigious honor from the 2016 D3 Senior Classic Selection

Committee. The game will be held Saturday, December 17, 2016 in Myrtle Beach, S.C. as part of the “2016 PRO-

DIP National Scouting Showcase”. Each year a limited number of players per position are invited by the

D3 Selection Committee to compete in the showcase football game. The game was developed to honor the top D3 graduating seniors. It provides an opportunity for one more game in the athlete’s college career, and serves as a free agent player feeder system to North American and European professional leagues annually. “The D1 and D2 players get to play bowl games to show their stuff and they wanted to give an opportunity for Division III athletes to get recognized also,” Zumbrun stated. “You go to the bowl game and they send the NFL, the European League and semi-pro teams for one more game to get your name out there and see if a scout will pick you up.” After a successful football career at Greenville High School, Zumbrun signed to play college ball for the Muskies where he was a spot starter in both his freshman and sophomore seasons and became a fulltime starter both his junior and senior years. While at GHS, Zum-

brun played three years for Coach TJ Powers and his senior season for current Green Wave head coach Aaron Shaffer. “Both coaches taught me hard work,” Zumbrun said of Powers and Shaffer. “They taught me how to get in the weight room, get stronger, put my nose to the grindstone and stay with it no matter what adversity came along.” “One of the hard things that you go through as a new coach is getting the seniors that ﬁrst year to buy into what you’re doing and start setting a new direction for your program,” Shaffer noted. “Stetson was certainly one of those guys that bought into what we were doing, played hard and did the things that started to set the foundation for things we want to do as a pro-

gram. To have a guy like Stetson be one of those guys, and there were several of them, but for Stetson to be one of them was really nice.” Zumbrun gives credit to his mother (Kelly Laird) and father (Cory Zumbrun) for his success both on the field and in the classroom where he is majoring in Criminal Justice with plans of a career in Juvenile Probation to become a Juvenile Probation Officer. “My dad and my mom really pushed me to do everything and do it to the best of my abilities and didn’t take it lightly,” said Zumbrun. “When I didn’t do what I was supposed to they kept me on the straight and narrow. Once I got to college my biggest influence was my offensive line coach, Jim Kaser.

Lady Patriots get CCC win over MV BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY – After a slow first quarter start, the Tri-Village Lady Patriots stepped up its first half smothering full-court press and pin-point threepoint shooting to score 20 points in each of the first two periods of play to take a 40-15 lead at the break and go on to win by an 8434 score. “After the first few minutes we got to running the floor very well… we had some nice passes,” said Tri-Village assistant basketball coach Mike Fisherback. “We come out a little cold in the beginning.” The Girls from New Madison used two treys, eight field goals and six free throws to add 28 third quarter points to the board while the Lady Hawks were having their largest quarter of the night with 15 points sending the teams to the final period of play with TV leading 68-30. “I knew what was coming,” said Mississinawa Valley Coach John Hershey of the Patriots full court press. “We did real well with it. I was real happy about that.” Period No. 4 had an under-the-weather Coach Gray setting his entire starting five on the bench giving his younger Lady

Patriots valuable varsity playing time on the court. The Tri-Village girls added 16 fourth quarter points to the book while holding MV to four points for a final Tri-Village 8434 win. The Cross County Conference game saw a total of 14 three pointers, 10 by the Lady Patriots and four by the Lady Hawks. “We have more than one or two players that can make that (three point shot),” Fisherback said. “We have four or five that can shoot the three when we are on like that.” The Patriots Allie Downing and Emma Printz led all scoring with 24 and 23 points respectively, including three Downing treys and Printz nailing five triples on the night. “Emma (Printz) came out and made some shots for us tonight,” said Fisherback. “She has really looked good the last couple of games.” Kelsey Hunt led the Lady Hawks with 16 points while Mikayla Stump was hitting three triples for nine points on the night. “These girls have turned around when it comes to heart,” Hershey stated. They have picked it up and it really showed out there tonight. They are going after the ball a lot better than what they were.”

UNION CITY, Ind. – To match her team’s seventh win of the season, Union City senior Baylee Hartman recorded seven rebounds in a 68-42 conference win over Centerville Wednesday evening at UCHS.

Senior Courtney Wise led the team with 23

points, followed by senior Kelsey Zimmers with 11 and junior Justiss Cantu with 10 points and combined with senior Kora Kerns for 17 steals in the Tri-Eastern Conference victory. With the win, the Lady Indians moved to 7-1 overall and 3-0 in TEC play. The UC junior varsity teams was also victorious, beating the Lady Bulldogs 27-18 to advance to 3-5 on the season. Both will be back in action at home in a nonconference battle with Randolph Southern on Saturday. JV tip scheduled for 6 p.m.

Versaillesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Swank gets career ďŹ rst with big win over Celina BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

CELINA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Versailles Tigers wasted little time handing Coach Travis Swank his ďŹ rst career varsity coaching victory with a convincing 67-40 win over the Celina Bulldogs on the road to go 1-0 on the new season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a fun place to play,â&#x20AC;? said Swank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A different type atmosphereâ&#x20AC;Ś was just happy to come out of here with a victory.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just glad to get it over with,â&#x20AC;? Swank said of his ďŹ rst varsity career coaching win.

a little bit more for us on the offensive side, but I was more proud of what we did on the defensive side,â&#x20AC;? Swank stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came outâ&#x20AC;Śset the tone defensively and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we have to do throughout the whole year in order to get to where we want to go.â&#x20AC;? The third period saw

the Tigers keep the Bulldogs in single digits on the board for the third consecutive quarter with a game low of ďŹ ve points to lead by a 53-22 score heading to the ďŹ nal period of play. Four Celina fourth quarter three-pointers were not enough as the Bulldogs fell 27 point short in the loss to the boys from Versailles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to stay consistent,â&#x20AC;? said Swank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up 18â&#x20AC;Śwe canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happy about that.â&#x20AC;? The Tigers Justin Ahrens led all scorers on the night with 26 points including a perfect 6-6 at the line while the Versailles defense did not allow a Celina player to reach double ďŹ gures in the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has a knack to see the whole ďŹ&#x201A;oor as well,â&#x20AC;?

WEST MILTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Franklin Monroe Jets varsity boys basketball team overcame Milton-Unions ďŹ rst half slow-down offense coupled with early foul trouble to defeat the Bulldogs 53-43 on Miltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were not ďŹ&#x201A;awless by any stretch of the imaginationâ&#x20AC;Śit was not a pretty game,â&#x20AC;? said FM Coach Troy Myers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but I credit our kids and their toughness.â&#x20AC;? Trailing 17-9 after an opening ďŹ rst quarter, the Jets took advantage of Miltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slow-down offense limiting the home team to four second quarter points while capitalizing on Parker Heslerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two three-pointers, Ethan Conleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bucket and 2-2 at the line and a Zach Cable basket to even the score at 21-21 as time ran down on the second quarter clock with the teams heading to the break. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told them to keep throwing punches,â&#x20AC;? Myers said of his halftime talk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (Milton) were doing some things in the ďŹ rst half to just try and get us uncomfortable, try to make us upset. In their situation I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blame them. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what they had to do and they did a good job of it in the ďŹ rst half.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just told our guys keep throwing punches,â&#x20AC;? continued Myers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep throwing punches, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t step out of the ring and we did that in the third quarter. In the third quarter we gained a lot of momentum that helped us in the fourth. I credit them to coming out of the locker room and adjusting to what was going on and continuing to ďŹ ght.â&#x20AC;?

Swank said of Justin Ahrens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I though early on he distributed the ball pretty well to all of our guys and got everybody involved in the game. People are concentrating on him and we know that and the guys buy into that as well. They know they are going to get some open shots and open looks with him being out there on the ďŹ&#x201A;oor. If they buy into our system they are going to get just as many open looks as anybody else on the ďŹ&#x201A;oor with him out there.â&#x20AC;? With a height advantage, Versailles controlled the boards on the night as well as the score. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad to see that we were controlling the paint, controlling the boards,â&#x20AC;? Swank said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is what good teams do in order to win.â&#x20AC;? With four minutes remaining in the fourth, Coach Swank went to his bench with the game well in hand.

Forced to pick up the second half pace, Milton scored 14 third quarter points sending the teams to the ďŹ nal period of play with the Jets holding a 4135 lead. FM would stretch its lead by four fourth quarter points, outscoring the home team 12-8 to give the Franklin Monroe boys a well-earned 53-43 road win. FMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ethan Conley led all scorers with 17 points followed by teammate Parker Heslerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15 points, all coming by way of ďŹ ve three-pointers. Six Jets players got in the scoring column on the night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody assumes that certain guys should

do the scoring on every night and clearly early on that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to be the case,â&#x20AC;? said Myers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I give our guys a lot of credit with their toughness. That wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accidentalâ&#x20AC;Śthat was intentional.â&#x20AC;? Coach Myers was pleased with his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unity and second half poise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You never saw the guys go at each other, you never saw the guys go at me,â&#x20AC;? Myers said following the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have worked on that so hard intentionallyâ&#x20AC;Śhow do we do it and then how do we stay uniďŹ ed. That was a tough test for us. Maybe not necessarily Xâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and 0â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s but they put us behind, we were behind the eight ball. I love this team because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what they are, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do.â&#x20AC;? 1370 KITCHENAID WAY GREENVILLE, OHIO

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rebounding, solid bench play, hustle and a new determined attitude added up for a Lady Wave 45-40 win over the visiting Piqua Lady Indians in a GWOC matchup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was another really good team win,â&#x20AC;? Greenville Coach Rachael Kerns said. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;new-lookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lady Wave matched their previous combined three season three wins in the ďŹ rst ďŹ ve games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good feeling on game number ďŹ ve,â&#x20AC;? Kerns said of the three wins on the new season. Piqua jumped out to a 5-1 ďŹ rst quarter lead only to have Greenville battle back to tie the game at 5-5 and 7-7 before grabbing their ďŹ rst lead of the night at 9-7. GHS took advantage of four Karsyn Shaffer ďŹ rst quarter points to lead 1312 after one period of play. Second quarter foul trouble had Lady Wave captains Karsyn Shaffer and Payton Brandenburg along with their inside threat; Cassie Cromwell on the bench much of the period opening the way for Greenville to showcase its 2016-2107 team depth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played the entire second quarter without all of them or maybe just a couple seconds here and there,â&#x20AC;? Kerns said of her three starters on the bench. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That says a whole lot about the future of our program because those girls came in and gave us a bigger lead than what we had after the end of the ďŹ rst quarter. I made sure to let those girls know how important that second quarter was especially with the end of the game.â&#x20AC;? With the Lady Wave US E FB K LI ON

driving the lane, Piqua sent Greenville to the line where Jada Garland came off the bench to nail 4-of-4 free throws, Morgan Gilbert knocked down 5-of-6 throws and Saki Nakamura went 2-3 at the charity stripe accounting for 11 of Greenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second quarter 15 points sending the teams to the break with the girls from Greenville holding a 28-23 advantage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is our goal,â&#x20AC;? Kerns noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone of these girls can go for 12 or 15 and it looks really nice when we have a bunch of sevens, eights, nines, ďŹ ves.â&#x20AC;? Piqua stormed back in the third to outscore the Lady Wave 13-9 and make it a one point game heading to the ďŹ nal period with Greenville clinging to a 3736 lead. GHS made it 40-38 at 3:18 in the fourth and upped its lead to 41-38 bringing a Piqua timeout. Morgan Gilbert hit the front-end of a 1-and-1 giving the home team a 44-38 advantage.

Piqua would get only its second basket of the fourth making a 44-40 score bringing a quick Piqua timeout with 0:099 showing. A Lady Indians intentional foul sent Nakamura to the line hitting the ďŹ rst of two free throws giving the Lady Wave a 4540 lead and possession of the ball where Greenville would run out the clock for the win. GHS won the battle of the boards 46-28 including 20-4 at the offensive end and 26-24 defensive boards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just a great winâ&#x20AC;Ś just people we least expect,â&#x20AC;? said Kerns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cassie (Cromwell) that second half just owned the glass and that was huge because they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to get second chance opportunities.â&#x20AC;? The Lady Wave limited their turnovers to 10 on the night. Freshman point guard Morgan Gilbert led the Lady Wave with nine points.

New rules coming for livestock producers

Zechar Bailey collects for military members GREENVILLE – As we enter this Holiday Season we cannot help but think about the members of our military serving our country overseas. This thought seems to add more emphasis on Zechar Bailey Funeral Home’s continued military program, “Little Peace of Home.” The program began in November 2007 and has ensures thousands of servicemen and women are not forgotten during the holidays. Just to refresh your memory, this program is a way to give our troops a little something from home. Since 2007, they have provided or made available shipping boxes, processed all paperwork and paid all postage to send these gifts

to our troops stationed all around the world. As of Dec. 1, 2016, they have shipped approximately 3,400 of the packages and received some very beautiful thank-you letters. This program could not have been successful without the continued support of so many generous individuals and groups throughout the Greenville and Darke County area. As we journey through this Christmas Season don’t hesitate to drop off appropriate items (clothing, toiletries, non-perishable food, books, etc) to either of their locations (1499 N. Broadway, Greenville, or 653 Hickey Ave., Versailles) for our troops serving overseas.

New & Small Farm College begins soon LIMA – Are you a small farm landowner wondering what to do with your acreage? Are you interested in exploring options for land uses but not sure where to turn or how to begin? Have you considered adding an agricultural or horticultural enterprise but you just aren’t sure of what is required from an equipment, labor, and/or management perspective? Are you looking for someplace to get some basic farm information? If you or someone you know answered yes to any of these questions, then the Ohio State University Extension New and Small Farm College program may be just what you are looking for.

Collecting for veterans VERSAILLES – Karen Borchers’ class turned in 547 items for veterans. The FCCLA and the ﬁfth through eighth grade classes at Versailles Schools turned in a total of 2,280 items to send to the veterans at the Veterans Hospital in Dayton. She said, “Wow what a wonderful collection and we have just gave some of the veterans a much better Holiday season.” The FCCLA would like to thank everyone for their participation and helping to make this community service project such a success. Mrs. Borchers’ class will be treated to a Polly’s pizza lunch for their efforts.

HARDIN COUNTY – Effective Jan. 1, 2017 or sooner, there will be changes to the way Over-the-Counter drugs can be used with livestock. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) amended the distribution and use of Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD) drugs and animal feeds containing such drugs. According to the FDA, a Veterinary Feed Directive is a “written (nonverbal) statement issued by a licensed veterinarian in the course of the veterinarian’s professional practice that orders the use of a VFD drug or combination VFD drug in or on an animal feed”. This written statement authorizes the client (owner of the animal(s) or other caretaker) to obtain and use animal feed bearing or containing a VFD drug or combination VFD drug to treat the client’s animals only in accordance with the conditions for use approved by the FDA. Examples of “Water-Use” and “Feed-Use” drugs or products that are to be VFD or are to be prescribed are listed below. Examples of drugs or products classiﬁed as “VFD” are Aureomycin 4G Crumbles (contains chlortetracycline), ScourEase Medicated (contains neomycin and oxytetracycline), SAV-A-CALF Scours & Pneumonia Treatment (contains neomycin sulfate and oxytetracycline), and Calf Medic Plus (contains neomycin and oxytetracycline). Examples of drugs or products classiﬁed as “prescription” are Oxytetracycline HCL Soluble Powder (contains oxytetracycline HCL), L-S 50 Soluble Powder (contains lincomycin and spectinomycin), Sulfamed-G Soluble Powder (contains sulfadimethoxine), Di-Methox Soluble Powder (contains sulfadimethoxine), and Strike III Type B Medicated Feed (contains hygromycin B).

Use of these drugs requires a veterinarian-client-patient-relationship (VCPR). This veterinarian is referred to as your Veterinarian of Record (VoR), and both the VoR and the client should sign a form to document this relationship. Drugs you may have purchased in the past as overthe-counter to be included in your feeding program(s) will now require a VFD from your VoR. If you are planning to continue using the drug(s) listed as a VFD in your feeding program, a VFD for each drug is required to be able to buy the drug or product. Cattle, swine, sheep, and poultry as well as other food producing species are included (e.g., honey bees, ﬁsh) in these new rules from the FDA. These new changes become effective Jan. 1, 2017 or sooner, depending on when the manufacturer changes the labeling. Some suppliers that were able to sell these drugs or products in

the past may not be able to sell them after Jan. 1, 2017. Consult your veterinarian for more information or call or OSU Veterinary Extension at (614) 292-9453. For more information about OSU Extension,

Darke County, visit the Darke County OSU Extension web site at www. darke.osu.edu, the OSU Extension Darke County Facebook page or contact Sam Custer, at (937) 5485215.

GREENVILLE – Darke County Parks has begun a new series of trainings and presentations speciﬁcally tailored to volunteers, and the next one is about raptors; another name for birds of prey. The park staff invites new and veteran volunteers to join them on Dec. 12, 10 a.m., at the Nature Center for a program on these ﬁerce carnivores of the sky. Kathi McQueen, volunteer coordinator and naturalist, recently traveled to the World Bird Sanctuary in St. Louis, Mo. for an extensive

workshop on handling, caring for, and educating with raptors of all shapes and sizes. She will share what she learned on her trip and how the staff and volunteers plan to use that information in Darke County. Volunteers will also be treated to a visit by Darke County Parks’ resident raptor Greta, the Great Horned Owl. Because she has signiﬁcant vision issues and is missing a critical talon, she cannot be released back into the wild. It is only through state and federal permits that the

park can keep her in captivity. The Darke County Park District obtained Greta in 2012 from Butler County MetroParks, and she is now thought to be 12 years old. Greta works as a wildlife ambassador teaching children and adults alike about birds of prey. If you are a DCP volunteer and are interested in participating in this exciting program or if you are not a volunteer and would like more information about getting involved, call Kathi McQueen at the Nature Center at (937) 548-0165.

Oda gives support for holiday performance GREENVILLE – Darke County Center for the Arts recognizes Rodney Oda for his contributions to the DCCA 2016-2017 season. Oda is an Angel member of DCCA, and sponsors DCCA’s Coffee House Series as well as the upcoming Artists Series holiday performance of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville on Saturday, Dec. 17 at 8 p.m. “On behalf of Darke County Center for the Arts, I want to express our appreciation of Rodney Oda and his patronage to the arts in Darke County. Oda has been long time supporter of DCCA, and its mission of providing cultural enrichment and the preservation of St. Clair Memorial Hall as an important cultural center for the community,” stated Andrea Jordan, DCCA executive director. “Darke County is fortunate to have a vibrant arts presence, thanks largely to

individual supporters, including Rodney Oda , who help make our community a great place to live.” A Christmas Carol the beloved tale of redemption and joy will be performed by the National Touring Company of the North County Center for the Arts, which has been providing award-winning theater for nearly 30 years. “This production features ﬁrst class professional actors, lush costumes, and stunning sets, as well as traditional carols and a timeless message,” stated DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins. “DCCA is thrilled to be able to bring this delightful and entertaining show to our community; A Christmas Carol provides the perfect vehicle to ﬁll audiences of all ages with the true spirit of the season.” “What a wonderful gift to the community!

journey down memory lane SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

A makeshift animal shelter in Sevier County, Tenn. is home to animals displaced by recent ﬁres.

Gatlinburg area animals get a helping hand SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – The late November fires in Gatlinburg, Tenn. not only devastated many human lives, it also affected thousands of helpless animals. After learning about the deadly fires, Darke County Humane Society stepped up to assist with animal search and rescue as well as delivering donated supplies. “Dusty came to me and asked what I thought about doing it,” said Judy Francis, president of the Darke County Humane Society. “I told him, if you want, the Humane Society will support you in what you want to do and give you time to go do it.” Francis, speaking of society’s shelter director Dustin Wills, was pleased with the suggestion and the support of local businesses who stepped up to make needed donations for a trip to Gatlinburg. “This turned out to be a great idea,” Francis shared earlier this week. “That’s what this society is all about. People give and give to these catastrophes but’s it’s more unusual for people to give for animals.” The Sevier County (Tennessee) Humane Society quickly organized an emergency shelter at their county fairgrounds to house and care for pets and other animals rescued from the fires. The shelter gave families a safe alternative to house pets while dealing with being displaced from their homes. “They’re taking in injured pets, strays and owned animals that have no place to go until they have a place to stay,” Wills said Monday during his second trip in five days to Gatlinburg. “On the way home Friday (Dec. 2), we learned they had 2,855 strays and pets they were holding. They’ve used all the buildings on the faigrounds and have set up tents to care for the animals and to store supplies,” he explained. The Darke County volunteers who traveled to Gatlinburg first drove through the night Wednesday, Nov. 30, and worked with the shelter Thursday and Friday. They turned around over the weekend to make a second trip – also loaded with supplies from local businesses. For example, Winners Meats and The Meat Shop on Broadway donated frozen beef hearts for the American Eagle Foundation to help feed displaced eagles and birds.

“They’ve got a place in Pigeon Forge and at DollyWood (Eagle Mountain Sanctuary) that lost all their food due to the power being out,” Wills said, noting the area also saw damage from high wind storms that fueled the fires. The Darke County volunteers also had a chance to assist some Gatlinburg-area families. Employees with Ripley’s Believe It or Not museum lost their homes when they stayed behind to save the nearly 10,000 animals at the museum. Waiting until they saw flames nearing the rear of the museum complex, they“got the hell out of there,” Wills said. “The employees stayed until the last minute, kicked the generators on and the animals were saved, they weren’t harmed. The employees lost everything they own. We bought clothes for their children, and other supplies.” The Darke County volunteers also worked with the local humane society to conduct search and rescue. Those wishing to help the efforts of the Sevier County Humane Society may do so by making a monetary donation. “If anyone still wants to help, they can donate money or gift cards and we’ll ship to the humane society down there,” said Wills, who doesn’t want personal recognition for his efforts. “It’s not about us. It’s about what can we do to help them.” The Darke County Humane Society volunteers see the need to assist their fellow humane society in Tennessee as a long term commitment. “This doesn’t go away in a minute,” Francis said. “It takes a long time of recuperation for these animals. They (Humane Society) have a long time commitment. There are a certain kind of people who are the voice of the animals, and that’s not as plentiful. It’s a great thing everybody is working for this cause they want to support.” Donations from local businesses included: Winners Meats, The Meat Shop, Lowe’s, Keller Grain & Feed, Shell (Greenville Party Mart), Medicine and More, Rural King, 548-TIRE, We Knead You Massage, and veterinarian offices, including Bruns Animal Clinic, Darke County Veterinary Services and Hartzell Veterinary Service. To donate cash or gift cards to send to Sevier County Humane Society for needed supplies, contact the Darke County Humane Society at (937) 548-1009.

GREENVILLE – The sights and sounds of schooldays past came alive Saturday, Dec. 3, as former students walked through the halls of Greenville’s four schools set to be razed this coming winter “I have a mixture of memories, some good, some bad,” said Jon Perreira, who started kindergarten at South in 1957. “Our lives started here. This is where we began knowing about life outside our homes.” Perreira stopped for a few minutes to greet his cousins Scott and Mike Howell, and to reminisce during Saturday’s open house held at South, Woodland, East and the junior high building. All three cousins attended the South building as elementary students. “I remember sitting in class on the second ﬂoor and watching the Brethren Retirement Home get built,” Scott Howell said of a crane that could be seen blocks away. ”That was sometime in the late 60s.” His brother Jon recalls holding Cub Scout meetings in the South gym, and lining up in the hallways to get vaccinated – a service provided for families by health departments at local schools in the early 1960s. On Friday, Nov. 22, 1963, Jon Perreira recalls one of those “bad” memories shared by students across the country. “I remember when (President John F.) Ken-

nedy got shot. They let us out of school early. I think I was in fifth grade,” he said, then shared another memory when in second grade his teacher got up in front of the class to tell them a classmate had died. “I don’t remember what she said after that, but I do remember class went on as normal. We didn’t have counselors come in to talk with us. We went home and most of us had nuclear families. Most of our moms were stay-athome moms.” Shanna Camancho attended third, fourth and fifth grades at South and graduated from Greenville in 1996. The first memory that comes to mind for Camancho was fifth grade. “We caught our classroom on fire while making candles,” she said. The class was participating in an arts and crafts activity,

remembers attending games and supporting the teams. Amick has experiences with the junior high building no other former students can own. “My fondest memory is my dad (Jim Holzapfel) was principal here for a long time and on the weekends when he’d have to come in to work, I’d come in to play,” she said. Amick and Szymanski are pleased the junior high site will become a useful space after the building is demolished. School administrators are working on a plan to put in green space as well as parking for Memorial Hall. “It’s served its purpose,” Szymanski said of the former high school, then junior high. “It’s served its time.”

FCS classes offer variety of life skills SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – From learning about food safety to crocheting to career options, Greenville High School students have the opportunity to learn important life skills. As part of the school’s Family & Consumer Science curriculum, Jessica Sommer teaches four different courses – Career & College, Principles of Food, Personal Wellness, and Textiles & Design. Sommer came to GHS this school year after teaching in Columbus and Dayton. She earned degrees at Ashland College and the University of Dayton and is in her ﬁfth year of teaching. “These are the classes I enjoyed in high school,” said the 2008 Minster High grad. Today’s consumer science classes can be compared to home economics courses, but are “more updated” to ﬁt today’s lifestyle and needs, Sommer explained. She also points out that many Ohio schools are

opting to forego consumer science education, moving such coursework to vocational schools or getting rid of the classes entirely. “There are fewer than 1,000 FCS programs in Ohio high schools,” Sommer said, also noting that several college programs have been eliminated since she was in college. “It’s up to each school district whether they want to offer FCS classes,” she said. The FCS courses serve as electives at Greenville, Sommer said. “Students can earn a health credit if they take Personal Wellness. In our foods and nutrition classes we talk about weight management, food safety and sanitation,” she explained. The classes are open to all four grades. The school’s FCS lab offers kitchen and sewing areas. Students recently completed a service project, sewing activity lap mats for Alzheimer’s patients for State of the Heart Hospice. “Hospice donated the materials and I said of course we would help out and give my students a project,” Sommer said. This week, students in

the Texture & Design class were busy knitting or crocheting scarves – which they could either keep or give as Christmas presents. Sophomore Cheyenne Hinshaw, 15, has decided “knitting is a lot easier than crocheting. I think it’s not too bad. As you go on, it’s not as difﬁcult as it was in the beginning.”

Junior Taryn Cooper, 16, said her scarf was “a gift for me.” And at the front table, freshmen Brittany Grice, 15 and Jessica Maize, 14, were busy chatting while working on their scarves and listening to Christmas carols. “When we’re 80 we can just sit on our couch and knit,” Maize said with a laugh.

Greenville High School Class of 1972 classmates Stephanie Szymanski and Diane Amick were taking their last look inside the junior high building on Saturday, where they attended as freshmen. The two attended St. Mary’s Catholic School through eighth grade. “Three generations of my family attended school here,” Szymanski said. “My mother (Nancy Boli Augustine, Class of 1948) myself and my children.” Szymanski says she recalls the excitement of starting at the junior high and meeting all the kids she would come to know during her junior high and high school years. “I just remembered today I tried out for cheerleading in this gym,” she said.

ARCANUM – “Transform: Purpose to Action” was the theme of this year’s National FFA Convention. Eleven members of the Arcanum-MVCTC FFA Chapter were in attendance at the convention in Indianapolis. Those members included from Arcanum MVCTC FFA Chapter were Taryn Dohme, Samantha McAllister, Brenna Loxley, Jacob Osswald, Sidney McAllister, Jared Eberhard, Kalyee Wilcox, Jack Walters, Alexandria Less, Zach Smith and Cole Spitler. Traveling with the Arcanum MVCTC FFA Chapter were students from the MiltonUnion MVCTC and Miami East MVCTC FFA Chapters. The theme for the convention could not have connected more to the students from Arcanum as they begin to “Transform” their newly reestablished FFA Chapter. Many students and FFA Chapters would take for granted the opportunity to put on an FFA Jacket and represent their school, but not these students as they did so as the ﬁrst from their school in over 20 years. More than 64,000 members, parents, and guests were in attendance at the National FFA Convention held Oct. 19-22.

FFA Chapter is Meals on Wheels for farmers

UNION CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; During the spring ofďŹ cer retreat, the 2016/2017 FFA ofďŹ cer team decided it was time to give back to their local farmers. The farmers in the Mississinawa Valley School District are constantly showing their support of the Mississinawa Valley- MVCTC FFA chapter and are the economic drive for the community. OfďŹ cer Sidnie Hunt led the Meals on Wheels event. She came up with the idea by talking with her father, Wade Hunt, who farms for a living. OfďŹ cer Blake Scholl was also a valuable part of the preparation for this event because of his experiences working on his family farm. To show their gratitude, FFA members spent one

morning packaging 100 meals that consisted of hot ham and cheese sandwiches, a bag of chips, a bottle of water, and a Snickers bar. All of the food items were donated on behalf of Morning Fresh Foods Inc, Pak a Sak, and Marsh Main Street Market. Senior ofďŹ cers Kelsie Hunt, Shelby Manning, Tom Schmitz, and Shaiann Livingston and alumni members drove around for two hours delivering those meals to farmers in the area. At the ďŹ elds, the FFA members were used as â&#x20AC;&#x153;runnersâ&#x20AC;? to take the meals from the vehicles to the farmers. The runners were Leah Scholl, Emily Scholl, Blake Scholl, Sidnie Hunt, Emily Schmitz, Brenden King, Cody Dirksen, Dalton Marker, and Max Dirmeyer. The Mississinawa Valley- MVCTC Agriculture Program is a satellite of Miami Valley Career Technology Center. The chapter sends huge appreciations to the famers in the community for their efforts.

Edison State 5k for a Cause helps Bishop PIQUA – Over 70 people participated in Edison State Community College’s second annual 5K for a Cause, a crowd that helped raise $750 to support Seth Bishop who is currently battling cancer. A beautiful weekend with brisk temperatures helped to support the day’s attendance as the runners followed the ﬁve-kilometer course along the back end of Edison State’s tree-lined campus. “The turnout for this year’s race speaks volumes about our community and everyone here at Edison State who helped make this event happen,” said Nate Cole, Edison State Director of Student Life and Athletics. “A lot of the participants included students, faculty, and staff who were here to support Seth and his family.” The overall winner of this year’s race was Edison State student Buddy Hayes of Piqua.
