Today, Randall often is asked to speak with other addicts as well as with youth groups to give hope and share his story. “I do whatever I can do to help those who are struggling,” Randall said. Darke County Chief Deputy Mark Whittaker addressed how the increase in drug use overloads the county jail, which was built in the 1980s. The jail’s 36 beds are nearly always full, forcing the county to house inmates in Mercer and Miami counties – which costs up to $28,000 a month. Another statistic Whittaker shared was how 90-95 percent of Darke County crime can be traced to a “drug connection or substance abuse problem.”
Whittaker also explained how drug abusers often resort to trafficking drugs in order to support their own habits. On a positive note, Whittaker said, School Resource Officers are now in all Darke County schools and have been charged with focusing on prevention and breaking the cycle of drug use. “When youth are educated the less likely they are to do drugs,” Whittaker said, offering advice to parents, grandparents and those working with youth. “We need to put the focus on healthier living. You need to be talking to them. When we get involved (law enforcement) it’s sometimes too late.” Other presenters includ-

Farm Bill Summit shares policy updates, information SUSAN HARTLEY
STAFF WRITER shartley@aimmediamidwest.com
VERSAILLES – Versailles High School played host to the 2019 Tri-State Farm Bill Summit on Thursday, hosted by The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, the University of Kentucky Agricultural Economics, Purdue University Center for Commercial Agriculture, and Farm Credit Mid-America. Darke County’s OSU Extension Agent Sam Custer welcomed the more than 200 people gathered to hear details contained in the 2018 Farm Bill, which passed last fall in a 386-47 vote in the House of Representatives and by a 87-13 vote in the Senate. The bill was signed by President Trump in December. The Farm Bill, which is approved every five years, allocates billions of dollars in subsidies to farmers. On Thursday, three guest speakers presented information, including Keith Coble, a Giles Distinguished Professor and
head of the Agricultural Economics Department at Mississippi State University; Jonathan Coppess, a native of western Ohio, who is director of the Gardner Agricultural Policy Program, director at Bock Agricultural Law and Policy Program and clinical assistant professor at the University of Illinois; and Patrick Westhoff, director of the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute and a Howard Cowden Professor of Agricultural and Applied Economics at the University of Missouri. Coble discussed crop insurance, with Coppess sharing perspectives on farm conservation policy, and Westhoff discussed changes and choices with the Farm Bill’s commodity programs. “The Farm Bill literally touches all Americans,” said Ben Brown during his remarks as moderator for the evening. Brown, who is with The Ohio State University’s Agricultural, Environmental and Development Economics program explained the Farm Bill “is a large comprehensive bill” detailing policies concerning farm loans, insurance, conservation programs, and Title

1 programs, including two crop commodity programs introduced in the 2014 Farm Bill —Price Loss Coverage (PLC) and Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC). One new policy in the 2018 Farm Bill is the legalization of hemp. Coble concluded his remarks stating the country would have “to find new uses for hemp due to the ingenuity” of the American farmer. Coppess discussed moves being made by U.S. farmers in the area of conservation and the environment. The Farm
Bill includes policies concerning wetland management and water quality programs. Westhoff’s presentation included information charting the past five years’ ALC and PLC initiatives. Also participating in the summit were students Morgan Heitkamp of Versailles and Ross Dapore of Ansonia, who led attendees in the Pledge of Allegiance and the 4-H Pledge. The FFA Creed was recited by Mallary Caudill, a student at West LibertySalem High School in West Liberty, Ohio.

Greenville Police Beat - Man cited for drug possession in the parking lot at Lowe’s Drugs On March 29 an officer was dispatched to Lowes on Wagner Avenue in reference to a suspicious vehicle and possible drug use. The officer found the described vehicle sitting in the Lowes parking lot with the driver’s door open. A male was sleeping in the driver’s seat and a female was sleeping in the passenger seat. Another officer arrived on scene to assist. Officers yelled and whistled for the driver to get his attention and he slowly lifted his head up. It appeared as if he was under the influence. While he was speaking, officers could see his pupils were
pinpoint and his speech was slurred, and he was very hard to understand. When asked what he was doing at Lowes and if he was alright, he stated he was waiting for a friend to drop something off. The male was identified as Forest Guffey of Muncie, Ind. The passenger also was from Muncie, Ind. She told officers they were waiting to meet someone to pick up her clothes and she thought they were in Winchester, Ind. Officers asked Guffey if either of them were drug users and he denied using drugs. When asked if either had been in any trouble, Guffey said he received a cultiva-

Officers asked Guffey if there was anything in the vehicle that shouldn’t be there and he said “no.” When asked if officers could search the vehicle, Guffey replied with “I’d rather you didn’t because it’s my cousin’s car.” He was advised that since he was in control of the vehicle he could give consent and he again refused. The female passenger agreed to be searched if she would be allowed to use the bathroom afterward. While the female passenger was being searched, Guffey ran from the vehicle. Officers yelled for him to stop and ran after the defendant, quickly catching up with him. Guffey was handcuffed and escorted back to the car. During a search of Guffey, officers located marijuana, a brown powder substance suspected to be heroin, a black square of substance suspected to be fentanyl, two bottles of liquid morphine and three vials of liquid THC. All illicit items were transported to the police department to be placed into property. The suspected heroin, fentanyl and morphine will be sent to BCI for analysis. Guffey was placed under arrest and transported to the Darke County Jail, where he was incarcerated for obstructing official business, possession of drugs, and held with no bond. While at the jail, Guffey told officers the bottles did contained liquid morphine, which he had used and was under the influence. Guffey also said the brown powder was heroin and the other black substance was supposed to be fentanyl but he

To access the courthouse elevator, a new ramp will be constructed or patrons may be able to take stairs to the upper levels. Commissioners and committee members had to forego their original plan to construct a security entry at the front of the courthouse when the city’s Architectural Review Board didn’t approve the proposal. “They weren’t particularly agreeable,” Stegall said, of the front entrance proposal, which would have changed the look of the courthouse. Although no set timeline has been set for the project, Miller said tentative plans were to finish the proposal and put the project out for bids before

A couple minutes later a man waived the officer over in the 700 block of East Main Street, where he was holding the child in place. The officer escorted the child to the police cruiser and transported him back to his uncle’s residence on East Third Street. The child was issued a citation for being unruly.
the end of April, award bids by the end of May and begin construction in June. According to Commissioner Matt Aultman, completion of the project would hopefully be in December – prior to the tax collection season, when the courthouse sees extra traffic. During construction, an ADA compliant entry will be temporarily put in place at the front of the facility and a few parking spaces in the back will be taken for contractors’ use. As for the cost of the project, Aultman said commissioners are opting not to divulge numbers at this time so bids won’t be compromised. “It will take what it takes,” Aultman said following Wednesday’s meeting, adding “we will try to be as financially” responsible “as we can be.”

The event will be held on Wednesday, April 17, 6:308:45 p.m., in the Robinson Theater of the Piqua Campus. In the fall of 2018, the first full scholarship was awarded to Andie Emerick, of Troy, based upon her academic achievement and extracurricular activity. Emerick attended the Upper Valley Career Center during her sophomore year of high school to become a certified cosmetologist. Today, Emerick is employed full-time at Giacomo’s Salon and Spa in Troy. With a goal of one day owning her own salon in the Troy or Tipp City area,
Emerick began pursuing an Associate of Applied Business degree in Entrepreneurship at Edison State in the fall of 2018. Emerick will continue to take classes online as she works full-time and is on track to graduate in 2020. “I chose Edison State because of their easy enrollment process and helpful staff. The staff in student services were extremely helpful and went above and beyond to assist me,” said Emerick. The event is returning for a third year following two successful events, which have collectively raised over $14,000 to support scholarships for women at Edison State. “Although providing the means for women’s scholarships is very important, the event is also about empowering women and providing scholarship recipients with the oppor-

pare me for every phase of my life. I’ve moved up from egg salvager and today oversee marketing for Weaver Eggs. The experience I had as a consultant and the education I received while getting my MBA are put into practice each day. But that doesn’t mean I don’t roll up my sleeves. Trust me, I haven’t lost the skills learned from growing up on the farm. I like to think of myself as a city small-town farm girl. I’m not afraid of any (literal) dirty job on the farm, but I know how to jazz things up when needed. This month will mark my first Easter back on
the farm since returning to the family business. Easter is a particularly special time for our family, and every other egg farmer we know. Not only is it a celebration of tradi-
House Easter Egg Roll this year. And honored to do so with other egg farmers and their families. I know that when Americans meet these famers on the South Lawn and talk to them about what they do, their eyes will light up, just like what I experienced when I lived there. And I know these farmers will be thrilled to share their experiences about their life on the farm, too. It’s been a winding path back here to Ohio and our farm (I like to think of it as a boomerang), but it’s a path I wouldn’t change for the world. Its allowed me to continue our family tradition and it’s where I was meant to be.

Some of the same moves you make to clean your surroundings may apply to your finances. Consider these suggestions: • Get rid of clutter. When you go through your closets, attic, basement or other areas, you may find many items you no longer need. You might be able to sell some of these things or find other ways of disposing of them. And as you review your portfolio, you might also encounter “clutter” in the form of investments that may be redundant to others you own. If so, you might consider selling these investments and using the proceeds to purchase new ones, which may help you broaden your portfolio. • Protect yourself from hazards. As you go about your spring cleaning, you may well encounter hazardous substances, such as cleaning agents, paints, batteries, pesticides and so on, which you don’t need anymore and which may pose potential health risks. You can reduce the possible danger from these materials by recycling or disposing of them in an environmentally safe way. Your overall financial situation has hazards, too, in the form of illness or injury preventing you from working, or, in your later years, the need for some type of long-term care, such as an extended stay in a nursing home. To protect yourself, you may need appropriate insurance, including disability and long-term care. • Find new uses for existing possessions. When you are sprucing up

tion and family, but it’s also a celebration of eggs. And a highlight of the celebration is the annual White House Easter Egg Roll, an American tradition dating back to 1878. Each year, egg farmers donate thousands of eggs for the event. In fact, this year more than 60,000 eggs will be rolled, decorated or eaten on the South Lawn of the White House by hundreds of children and families. While that’s an amazing number, it’s only a small part of the 2.9 billion eggs eaten during the Easter season each year! I’m looking forward to head back to the East Coast for the White
your home, you may rediscover uses forthings you already have. Who knows –perhaps that treadmill that’s been gathering dust in your garage could actually be employed again as part of your rededicated exercise regimen. And you might be able to get more mileage out of some of your existing investments, too. Suppose, for instance, that some of your stocks are paying you dividends, which you take as cash. If you don’t really need this income to support your lifestyle, you might consider reinvesting the dividends so that you can own more shares of the dividend-paying stocks. Over the long run, increased share ownership is a key to helping build your portfolio. • Establish new habits. Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be just about physical activities – it can also involve a new set of habits on your part. For example, instead of placing your unread magazines in an ever-expanding pile, try to read and recycle them quickly. You can also develop some positive habits as an investor, such as “paying yourself first” by regularly putting some money in an investment account each month, even before paying all your bills. You can also avoid some bad habits, such as overreacting to market downturns by selling investments to “cut your losses,” even though those same investments may still have strong growth potential and may still be suitable for your needs. Doing some spring cleaning can make you feel better about your living space today. And applying some of these techniques to your financial situation can help you gain a more positive outlook for tomorrow.
Since then he has been on the missions field in Haiti, was the principal at Anderson Preparatory Academy, was the Athletic Director/Assistant Principal in Union City, and the principal of Union City Junior/Senior High School. He said that RESC is doing well. The school system has good working relationships with the community and the county, students can graduate from high school with 36 college credits, and students from Union City and the rest of Ran-
dolph County can be involved in programs like the Radio/TV program (KISS), Criminal Justice class, and Apache Design. Black feels it is important to tell their story as much as possible. He did say that one of the biggest challenges over the next few years will be finding quality employees. About 50 percent of the employees at RESC have 24-years of experience or more and who they hire to replace them when they leave is very important. Black’s presentation was followed by a ques-
tion and answer time with many topics covered. Also at their meeting, Jan Aukerman shared information about the Dancing for the Stars fundraiser planned for April 13 at 6:30 p.m. The event will be held at the Union City Jr/Sr High School and will be a tribute to our veterans. The cost will be $10 and all of the proceeds will be given to the Union City Elks Club Cancer Fund. If you need more information about this fundraiser call 937-968-5911 or 765-9645409.

Rieman Could Have Worked Anywhere Dear Editor: I write to support Mike Rieman as the next Law Director for Greenville. Mike is a work colleague, and a friend. Mike Rieman should be the next Law Director for Greenville because of the breadth of his experience, his commitment to the Greenville Community, and his excellent character. Mike obtained his undergraduate degree from Ohio State University and his law degree from the University of Notre Dame, one of the top law schools in the country. Thus, his educational credentials are stellar. Mike has broad legal experience in both civil and criminal law. He served as an assistant prosecutor in Darke County handling criminal cases. Mike also represents Greenville citizens and companies in civil matters. He advises businesses; he sits on
community boards; he understands real estate; he has assisted persons with estate planning. The City of Greenville faces a variety of legal issues touching different areas of law. Greenville needs a Law Director with a broad scope of legal experience, and Mike Rieman is that man. With his educational credentials, Mike could have worked anywhere in the United States, but he chose to bring his wife and children home because he is committed to the Greenville community, which provided so much to him. Finally, Mike has a clear head and a warm heart. Mike thinks through the issues, he knows the applicable law and options, he is prepared. Yet, he also has a warm heart. He loves people, and people love him because he cares. Greenville is blessed to have a candidate like Mike Rieman, and I recommend that you choose him to be your next Law Director. J.

Butler added a run in the top of the second while the Lady Wave was getting an RBI each from Blocker and Sowry plating two runs in the bottom of the inning to make it an 8-2 game heading to the third. Neither team would dent the plate in the third but the Lady Wave made it a 12-2 game in the bottom of the fourth getting with RBIs from Gilbert and Shilt and an Aviators wild pitch allowing a run. Wright crushed her second home run of the night for Butler, a 2-run homer to postpone a Lady Wave run rule win for an inning. Greenville earned the win in the bottom of the sixth by way of a Shilt leadoff double,
a Mayo-Behnken RBI single and walk-off Nyesha Wright RBI single to center for the run rule win. From her shortstop position, Morgan Gilbert had several spectacular infield plays for Greenville. “She’s the best player on the field most nights,” Newland said of Gilbert. “She made two or three crazy plays. Over the weekend – there was a lot of bigtime talent and I would not trade anybody for her. Morgan Gilbert is a stud and bottom line, she is just a flat-out stud and just proud of her. Had her 100th hit yesterday at Vandalia.” The Lady Wave pounded out 16 hits on the day while playing error free ball. Butler collected seven hits and committed one error. “Just a great day hitting and passing the ball around a little bit,” Coach Newland stated. “Playing great defense. As coach just loving it and all three pitchers did well tonight. We kept the ball where we needed it and just moving right along.”

Walker took time to reflect over his four year career playing for the Green Wave. “My freshman year was with Coach Bashore and Coach Schmitz,” Walker noted. “We had a successful year and that was a fun year.

I was just like – you gotta be kidding me, but you tip your

GREENVILLE - A threeyear-old Arcanum boy who was born six-weeks premature has been selected as the 2019 March of Dimes Darke County Ambassador. In 2016, Brittany Bankert and her husband, Daniel, were adding to their family. But their baby Colton arrived at only 34-weeks, weighing 5lbs. and 8oz pounds. Although Colton was supposed to have been born in April, Brittany’s water broke unexpectedly and she was admitted to Kettering Medical Center. Colton was born just six hours later that day but would end up spending 17 days in the neonatal intensive care unit. During his stay, he was diagnosed with jaundice and low birth weight. “Serving as the ambassador family is a way for us to teach other families about how a premature birth affects not only the child, but also mom, dad and the rest of the family,” says Brittany Bankert. “We March for Babies because we want to help fight against premature births and the heartache it causes families and communities.” “When you participate in the Darke County March for Babies, you’re raising support to help tackle the biggest health threats to moms and babies, such as those the Bankert family

Cemetery will host sunrise service Johnny Appleseed held at BRC GREENVILLE – This year, the Greenville Church of the Brethren decided to do things a little different for their Sunrise Service. Instead of meeting at the church building, they have decided to greet Easter morning this year where the most important part of the Easter Celebration happened – in a cemetery. “Since Easter is later this year and the weather should be warmer, we decided to meet at the Greenville Union Cemetery,” said Pastor Ron Sherck. “The grave is where the women who came to prepare Jesus’ body for burial and where the angel told them the Good News that
Jesus had been raised from the dead. So that is where we will begin our day as well.” Everyone is welcome to join the church in this celebration at 8 a.m. on April 21 at the Greenville Union Cemetery, 200 West St., Greenville. Participants are encouraged to bring their own chairs. In case of rain, the service will be moved inside the Mausoleum. Enter the cemetery from North Main Street. Go under the archway. Take first right and park near the Mausoleum. A breakfast will follow the service at 9 a.m. at the church building at 421 Central Ave., Greenville.

Edison State recognizes admin professionals PIQUA – Edison State Community College will present a program on Wednesday, April 24 in recognition of Administrative Professional Day that salutes the many contributions of support staff throughout the area. The Office Systems and Administration Advisory Committee at Edison State sponsors the program. The program is open to all office support professionals, including administrative assistants, executive assistants, office managers, and other employees who provide secretarial or administrative support
for one or multiple supervisors. Supervisors and managers of those administrative professionals are encouraged to attend with their valued employees. The featured speaker at this year’s program will be Mike Alden, director of Process Excellence at Wilson Health. Alden is responsible for introducing and implementing LEAN processes throughout the hospital. The basis of LEAN is to review processes from the patient’s standpoint, and to eliminate steps that do not add value to the patient experience. “Administrative professionals are the heart of
any office,” said Gloria A. Harpest, Administrative Vice President of Human Resources and Marketing of Greenville National Bank and Chairperson for the Occupational Health and Administration Advisory Committee at Edison State. “Smooth operation in today’s office is contingent on administrative professionals who are organized in every aspect of their work life.” There will be four breakout sessions addressing pertinent topics: “Interpersonal Relationships and Skills,” “Email Tips,” “Information Security: Protecting Your Personal Information in a Connected
World,” and “Leadershift: Showing Up Strong When Things Go Wrong.” Those interested in participating must register by April 19. The cost to attend is $35 per person, which includes admission to all sessions, a buffet lunch and refreshments, and entry into the drawing for door prizes. The event runs from 11:45 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will be held at Edison State’s Piqua Campus. For more information, contact Marva Archibald, Assistant Professor of Occupational Health and Administration, by calling 937-778-7908 or emailing marchibald@ edisonohio.edu.

Report new building construction GREENVILLE – Owners of new construction, remodeling, or any other building improvements such as heating and plumbing systems, central air conditioning, or building under construction in Darke County, are reminded by the County Auditor, Carol Ginn, that it is their duty to report such construction. According to section 5713.17 O.R.C., any person that constructs any building (this includes all agricultural buildings) or other improvements costing more than $2,000 upon any lot or land within a township or municipal corporation not having a system of building regulation and inspection, (this includes agricultural
and residential areas), shall notify the County Auditor of the county which such land or lot is located, that the building or improvement has been completed or is in the process of construction. The notice shall be in writing, shall contain an estimate of the cost, shall describe the lot or land, shall provide the owner’s name, and shall be served upon the County Auditor no later than 60 days after construction of the building or improvement has commenced. This is necessary so that the County Auditor may determine the value and location of the new structures. Upon the discovery of a building or improvement that has
been constructed, but of which the County Auditor has not been notified as required by section 5713.17 O.R.C., the County Auditor shall appraise it and place it upon the tax list and duplicate, at its taxable value, together with penalty equal to 50% of the amount of taxes that would have been charged against the building or improvement from the date of construction to the date of discovery.

home or in another facility. Inpatient Care offers help when a patient is no longer able to receive care at home. The care center is designed for short term care to manage acute
symptoms, adjust medications or to stabilize a patient. Another benefit, Strawser said in having a hospice inpatient unit in Darke County is the ease and ben-
efit for family members to be close by. “Being able to be close when time is really precious, being able to spend time,” with their loved one, is ideal, she said, as opposed to making a trip to Dayton or out-of-county inpatient center. Patients also have access to medical personnel, including Dr. Edward Hosbach and a staff of nurses and volunteers who staff the inpatient center. Although inpatient hospice care for most patients is covered through insurance, several fundraisers also benefit the State of the Heart Inpatient Care Center, says Cassie Creech, RN and Care Center Manager. “There’s our 5K Heart and Sole planned for this Saturday at Eldora Speedway,” Creech said, and the organization’s annual golf outing will be held this coming June at Stillwater
Valley Golf Club. Darke County’s inpatient service also is seeing more patients from the Mercer County area, Creech said, since a similar inpatient facility closed its doors in VanWert. Strawser said the “biggest thing is making sure families and patients know we have this service” available for those in need for quality care during what can become a stressful time. The center offers 24-hour care by a collaborative interdisciplinary team of professionals. Supportive visits by Hospice aides, social workers, chaplains, a board certified music therapist and volunteers.

has seen many renovations, including the re-opening of the upstairs banquet area. Re-opening that area has allowed the UCCC to not only serve the community during the normal “golf season,” but has allowed the country club to remain open all year long. They have an indoor golf simulator to host off-season golf leagues, and corn hole leagues in the winter months. They now have a full functioning restaurant that remains open all year long, and a place where community members can host a variety of events including reunions, birthday parties and weddings. They’re open seven days a week. “Often the Chamber’s Rising Star awards go to a newer business,” said

This business is under new ownership, with four new owners who truly are a family affair. The owners include a sister and brother, a daughter and niece, and partners for life. These owners all have fulltime jobs in their personal careers in nursing, flying and maintenance. ‘These new owners took on the business when their lives were already very busy because they didn’t want a Union City institution to die,” Aukerman said. “They consider

VERSAILLES – Versailles FFA is working in conjunction with Edison State Community College Agriculture Department collecting supplies to send to Hamburg, Iowa to aid with the flood relief. In March, Iowa was hit with some of the worst flooding in the nation’s history. Hamburg is a small community of about 1,000 residents, and the levees around them were not large enough to keep the water, over 12 feet, out. Along with Edison, the Versailles FFA will be collecting items to give to this town. Supplies that are being collected are household items: electric skillets, silverware, bedding sets, blankets, laundry detergent, laundry baskets, plastic totes, first aid kits: band aids, Chapstick, cold/ hot packs, scissors, cotton swabs/balls, cough drops, saline solution, eye wash, hand sanitizer, latex gloves, tweezers, thermometers, Tylenol, clean-up supplies: cloth or paper rags, gloves, baby wipes, trash bags, Zip-

National
Child Abuse Prevention Month How to recognize signs of child abuse
In January of 2014, four-year-old Myls Dobson died in a New York City apartment from injuries sustained after days of abuse by his caregiver. Janaie Jones admitted to burning Myls, beating him with belts and hangers and keeping him locked up and alone in the bathroom for long, extended periods of time. Jones said this was all just a form of corporal punishment to control the young boy. In another horrifying instance of child abuse, a couple from Monroeville, Ind. were arrested and charged with felony child neglect the same month after several of their children were left in a frigid van parked outside of a motel. The remainder of the children were zip-tied to a chair in a motel room. Stories like these may be shocking, but unfortunately they are not rare. The organization Child Help says a report of child abuse or neglect is made every ten seconds in the United States. Every year, more than three million reports of child abuse are made, and around four to seven children die each day due to neglect and abuse. Child abuse occurs at every socioeconomic level, across ethnic and cultural lines, within all religions, and at all levels of education. While many cases of abuse are discovered and reported, it’s likely that many more are not. It is estimated that between 50 to 60 percent of child fatalities due to maltreatment are not recorded as such on death certificates. Third-party observers may be unaware abuse is taking place until it is too late. Child abuse can be hard to distinguish, but certain visual clues or changes in behavior may indicate there is a problem. The Child Abuse Prevention Center and other organizations offer these signs of child abuse or neglect. Visible signs of injury, including bruises or burns. Abused children may appear scared or anxious. They may also seem withdrawn or depressed. However, abused children also may act like nothing is wrong or become “class clowns” in an attempt to avoid unpleasant feelings. Some abused kids may fear going home or to places where they may be abused. Changes in school performance may indicate a problem. Some children will fall behind on work or have difficulty concentrating. Others may do especially well on tests or be obsessive about getting good grades for fear of punishment. Abused and neglected children may suffer from a lack of personal care or hygiene. Clothing may not be appropriate for the weather or appear dirty. Abused kids could have sleep disturbances that cause them to appear tired. Behaviors such as bed-wetting, thumb-sucking or other habits of early childhood may be brought on by abuse. Some children may have memory problems or stop speaking. Children who are abused may balk at normal, appropriate touch. They may not be able to distinguish between good and bad touch. Risk-taking behavior may be present in abused children. The youngsters may be testing their minds and bodies to extremes or looking for another form of escapism. Children who have been sexually abused may exhibit overly sexualized behavior or use explicit sexual language. If you have concern that abuse is taking place, report your feelings to a local or state child protective service agency or the police precinct. Doing so could save a child’s life.

Edison State collects for flood relief GREENVILLE – Students in the Edison State Community College agriculture program have taken it upon themselves to put together a flood relief effort for the farmers and families who have been impacted by the recent flooding across the Midwest. Students will be collecting supplies and monetary donations which will be delivered to Hamburg, Iowa. The small town is near and dear to one student’s heart as she grew up there. Kayla Seman was in Riverton, Iowa, just a few miles from Hamburg during spring break to visit family and friends when the flooding began. “I never thought returning to Ohio after a week
for spring break in Iowa I would come home to my agriculture instructor and classmates saying they want to help to get the small town of Hamburg, Iowa, back on their feet again,” said Edison State student Kayla Seman. Several student volunteers and others are planning to transport the donations to Hamburg, Iowa, on April 25, spend a couple of days helping in the community, and return home on April 28. A local truck dealership has allowed for the use of a box truck in transporting items and the group is currently seeking a driver with a CDL license. “Friends and family of mine are struggling and have lost everything; so to
see them smile and thank us for helping makes me know I’ve done something good in this world.” Students are currently seeking donations of first aid supplies, cleaning supplies, personal hygiene products, painting supplies, tools and building supplies, livestock supplies, and cash donations. For a complete list of items needed, visit www.facebook.com/EdisonStateAg. “This is what I love about the agricultural community–their willingness to help others in need,” said Brad Lentz, Edison State Agriculture Program Director. “Hamburg is a small town just like most of the communities around here with approximately 1,000
people surrounded by farm ground.” Community members interested in donating to the relief effort may do so by delivering supplies to one of four drop sites including the Edison State–Greenville Campus 937-548-5546; Twin Valley South FFA–West Alexandria 937-839-4336; Ansonia FFA 937-337-4000; Doug and Nicki Garke–Burkettsville 419-375-3001 or Courtesy photo 419-852-6669; and Franklin Shown are some of the pieces of art that will be exhibited at the Monroe FFA–Pitsburg Greenville Public Library. 419-564-2295. Greenville National Bank has also agreed to accept donations at all of their branches. For more information, email edisonagfloodrelief@ gmail.com.
Rock -n- Roll All Night & Poultry Every Day in Versailles VERSAILLES – In advance of the upcoming festival, and to allow parade and festival preparation, the Poultry Days Board is proud to share the 2019 theme artwork. The 2019 festival theme is “Rock -n- Roll All Night & Poultry Every Day!” Think early 1970’s hair bands, rock and roll with a poultry twist! 2019 Festival Chairman Alex Luthman shared “The theme to me brings to light what I think of when Poultry Days comes to mind. The music, party, and of course the chicken! What a great opportunity we have to raise thousands of dollars for local organizations in the Versailles area and fund Heritage Park by putting on the county’s biggest festival!” The 2019 art work was created by local resident and Versailles High School graduate, Quincy Baltes. Quincy is currently studying Animation and Storyboarding at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia. He
is also exploring the worlds of Motion Media, Illustration, Sequential Art, and Performing Arts. Along with Quincy Baltes’ work on the theme artwork and festival logo, another local graduate has been supporting the festival. Morgan Turpen is a 2015 graduate of Versailles and studying graphic design under the University of Cincinnati’s DAAP Program. Morgan has recently opened her own business, Turpen Design, and contributes her time to designing festival signs and graphics. Ben Ahrens is another Versailles alum and also a graduate of Ball State University. Ben has been working to support and update the festival website. The Poultry Days Board is excited to involve local graduates in the festival and see their creativity support the community. The 68th annual festival will be held June 14-16 in Versailles. One of Ohio’s oldest festivals, this event celebrates the area’s poul-

cept that they are excited about. “We sell wood-fired pellet grills,” said Doug, who noted that the store services what it sells and more. “The pellet grills are more popular. They come in a bunch of different flavors to add to the smokers.” According to him, there are 35 grill models on display at the store with 15 different wood pellet flavors from which to choose. The store also carries Holland, Weber’s and Blackstone grills,” he said. “We try to keep up with our customers’ needs.” On May 15, the ACE Neighborhood Barbecue Fest will kick off the grilling season from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. “Demo grills will be fired up and we will be giving
away samples,” he said. “A grill master is coming.” Then, at the end of May 31 from 5 to 8 p.m., ACE will host a cooking class by Traeger officials, Keith Harris and James “Bud” Keener on Ribs and Spatchcock Chicken, with a bonus session on Tri-tip.” It was noted that the entire cooking process of each meat is covered at these classes and topics such as different types of pellets, rubs, sauces and common barbecuing/grilling mistakes will be discussed. Shop class includes wood-fired samples, shop class swag bag, and a question-and-answer session. “You have to pre-register,” the Hessons said. “It is $50 a person and limited to 50 people. Call 937-5487284 to reserve your spot.” Doug has worked at ACE Hardware since a teenager in 1991, and he and his wife joined the team in 1998. They then purchased it from Duane and Deb Ward in 2015. The business was started in 1988 by Ted and Colleen Loxley as a Coast to Coast hardware store at what is now known as the BMV on Wagner Avenue. The current store was built in 2000. Doug is a 1993 graduate of Versailles High School, and his wife, the former Sherry Koesters, who graduated from St. Henry High School also in 1993, are the parents of four children, three of whom work at ACE. There are 25 employees at the store. “We have a good crew,” Doug said. “They are really good employees.” ACE Hardware can be found on Facebook or at acehardware.com.

Is it time to replace old wiring? Old homes can be charming and contain architectural elements not often seen in many modern housing developments. But what older homes may have in design appeal, they may lack in updated features. While cosmetic changes are not necessarily difficult, one area of concern in historic homes - and sometimes even in houses built 40 or 50 years ago is archaic wiring. Wiring provides power to every room of the home. In today’s electronics-driven society, electricity that works is an essential component of daily life. Over time, wiring can be compromised through simple aging, pest infiltration, weather, or other conditions. Deteriorated wiring can present a shock hazard and also a serious fire hazard, warn the home renovation experts at The Spruce. Furthermore, the home improvement site This Old House advises that the amperage of old wiring may not be able to meet the needs of the devices used in homes overpowering the circuits. This can cause breaker blowouts and other problems, such as overheated wires that may spark and cause fires from within the wall. Wiring often falls into the “out of sight, out of mind” category. Homeowners may make allowances for inadequate electrical systems, such as running extension cords or using multiplug connectors to increase their wiring capacity. However, they may not be diligently keeping on top of upgrades needed to stay safe. Confirming that a home’s electrical system is safe is a necessary part of home maintenance.

General Information The Sheriff is issued Orders of Sales from the Clerk of Courts Office. Sales are advertised in The Early Bird once every week for three consecutive weeks. The Sheriff’s Office does not mail or give away a list of properties or information about purchasing foreclosed property. The properties are not available for tour or inspection as the Sheriff’s Office does not have keys to any properties. Prior to the sale, most properties are appraised from the outside only. The property is sold “as is”, caveat emptor (let the buyer beware). The Sheriff’s office does not have information on liens or taxes. Real estate tax information can be found at the following web site: darkepropertymax.governmax.com real estate appraisal database. All sales are held in the meeting room of the County Commissioners Building, 520 South Broadway, Greenville.

Personal check (proper ID, local check signed in our presence), cashier’s check or cash is accepted. The buyer will be required to sign a disclaimer that relieves the Sheriff and appraising agents of liabilities of hazards, or past due bills, as it it the responsibility of the buyer to look into these matters before the sale date.
