Greenville City Council considering sidewalk project SUSAN HARTLEY
STAFF WRITER shartley@aimmediamidwest.com
GREENVILLE – Greenville City Council on Tuesday discussed moving forward with two infrastructure projects – repairing and replacement of sidewalks and the restructuring of Wagner Avenue. Service and Safety Director Curt Garrison presented council with a packet of information concerning the sidewalk replacement program, which was originally approved by council in January 2001. The project, Garrison said, is a “10-year plan laid out to encompass the entire city.” Garrison showed council samples of residential sidewalks in disrepair, including some where trees have caused damage. Council is contemplating approving legislation in May for the sidewalk project. Garrison said a study of the city’s sidewalks would be completed by Choice One Engineering at a cost of $29,970. Data from the study would then be used to
inform homeowners in early summer via a letter, as to which sidewalk sections would need to be repaired or replaced. Homeowners would have about six months to complete the project on their own before the city would step in, make the repairs and assess property owners through their property taxes. Garrison also noted that trees may be affected by the sidewalk project. “If we move forward with this project, there’s going to be a lot of big trees that have to come down,” he said. Homeowners who choose to replant trees would be asked to choose from an approved tree list compiled by the city. The city would consider paying up to $200 for tree replacement – if the funds were available, Garrison said. Garrison also explained to council that monies to help pay for the sidewalk project would have to be appropriated for 2020, but he could not give an exact amount at this time. “The more homeowners do it, the less the city would have to pay,” he said. Council briefly discussed

the sidewalk plan, agreeing to take the next step. “I think we should move along,” said at-large council member Jeff Whitaker. Mayor Steve Willman agreed. “It’s a tough decision,” he said. “But it’s something that needs to be done.” Garrison brought up this past year’s improvements being made on Sweitzer Street, noting how some homeowners have been making improvements to their properties – action he believes was spurred on by the city’s investment in their neighborhood. This coming year, the city
will be paving Third Street, Garrison said. Another project discussed Tuesday was the Wagner Avenue improvements. Originally the city was looking at developing five lanes with new sidewalks and curbs along Wagner Avenue, continuing north to Children’s Home-Bradford Road. “When we got into the design and took a hard look,” Garrison told council, it was discovered only about 4,500 vehicles currently travel Wagner Avenue each day.

Citizens for Safer Streets discuss issues LINDA MOODY
CORRESPONDENT
GREENVILLE - The Citizens for Safer Streets, a group which has been meeting monthly since last August, gathered once again Wednesday at the VFW Post to hear Mark Wolf, former Greenville Fire Chief, focus on cleaning up run-down properties. Hala Knapke, who spearheads the group, said its purpose is “to create communication with citizens and open dialogue and educate people on what’s going on.” “This is not the city I remember,” said Knapke, who grew up in Greenville. “We have got to start neighboring again and come together as a community. I want a nice place to live… a clean town. I found a

homeless encampment last week - so close to the street it was shocking. We picked up trash all over town last weekend and I really believe we can make a change.” She then announced Wolf had taken the lead on rental
inspections in the city. “I’ve lived in Greenville almost 31 years,” Wolf told the crowd before his presentation. His first remarks were on rental registration and inspection, which would involve gauging and recruiting community support and taking a presentation to city council. “Rick Birt, a former firefighter, and I rode around the city taking photos of rentals in poor condition,” Wolf said. Wolf projected the photos on a screen set up during the Safer Streets meeting. This part of the presentation focused on the poor condition of rental properties and concerns with the health and well-being of the city; safety, sanitary and living conditions; protecting vulnerable tenants; and
stabilizing and preserving quality of neighborhoods. “Some people are magnets to vulnerable tenants,” he said. “We need to start getting them better.” Various housing codes were discussed, including an environmental health protection code administered uniformly throughout the community. “We’ve got to give people an adequate time to comply with the ordinance,” Wolf said. “Sometimes it takes a fine.” To get this done, he said the components needed would be to contain standards that protect the health and well-being of individuals; establish a baseline of current housing conditions; and a budget for staffing and equipment.

Greenville Police Beat - GHS student to be charged with felony assault Assault On April 17 a School Resource officer at Greenville High School was advised about a fight taking place on the second floor. The officer went upstairs with an assistant principal to locate the fight. When they arrived on the second floor, they found the other assistant principal already there with a male student. While walking to the office, the student punched the wall near the front doors, injuring his right hand. The student stated he was worried about his girlfriend having a phone so he was texting her at the beginning of class to see if she had her phone and she was not answering him. A substitute teacher was in the class and told the student to put his phone away. The student refused and walked out of the room. A

surveillance video shows the substitute following the student and grabbing him by the left arm to get him back to the classroom. When the student continues to walk away, the substitute teacher holds onto the student and in the video it appears he presses the student against the lockers. The student is shown taking a swing at the teacher’s face and misses him. The two continue to struggle until the student’s younger brother comes out of a classroom and gets involved. The younger brother eventually gets between the two. The SRO contacted Darke County Juvenile Court and left a message with a probation officer. He also called the assistant prosecutor, who agreed that felony assault charges will be filed against the student since he attempted to cause physical harm to a teacher while in school.
Drugs On April 12 an officer observed the operator of a vehicle at Speedway on Sweitzer Street to be the person in question from an earlier call. The officer knew the suspicious male as Charles Phillips and the
passenger of the vehicle as Uriah Hodge. As the officer pulled behind the vehicle he could see both subjects arguing and it appeared as if Hodge was looking for something. The officer made contact with with Phillips and advised him for the reason of the contact. He agreed he was at the Sunoco on Martin Street a few minutes earlier but decided to come to Speedway instead. On the previous call the complainant stated it looked like the occupants were using drugs. The officer asked Phillips if he had used drugs recently and he said no. Phillips was asked to exit the vehicle and perform field sobriety tests. When he got out of the car the officer observed a pocket knife in his right pocket, which prompted the officer to ask if he had anything else on his person that would poke, stick or hurt the officer. The officer also asked if he could check Phillips for weapons and also if he had any drugs on him. According to the report, Phillips stated to say yes when asked. The officer placed Phillips into handcuffs for safety and continued with the investigation. Once handcuffed, Phillips told the officer that Hodge had a gun inside the vehicle. Other officers arrived on scene. An officer opened the front passenger door of the vehicle and ordered Hodge to put his cell phone down and step out of the vehicle. Once he exited, he was handcuffed and searched. The officer asked Phillips if they could search the vehicle and he stated yes. During the search, an officer located a pellet gun on the rear floor behind the driver’s seat. Hodge later said it was his and he uses it to shoot birds. Due to Hodge’s level of impairment the pellet gun
was taken as property and he was advised when he was sober he could come to GPD and pick the pellet gun up. Hodge was told to sit back inside the vehicle; nothing illicit was located on his person. Officers proceeded to continue the investigation with Phillips, who was asked what drug he had in his pocket and which pocket it was located in. He stated it was meth and it was in his front left pocket. Officers located a clear bag containing a white crystalline substance consistent with methamphetamine. Phillips passed field sobriety tests and both he and Hodge were sent on their way; all illicit items were transported back to GPD and placed into property. The suspected methamphetamine will be sent to BCI for analysis and I will follow up with the prosecutor’s office once lab results are received.
Disorderly On April 5 a School Resource Officer at Greenville K-8 building was contacted by a staff member about a physical fight between two female students, which was taking place in the front hallway. Through investigation it was learned that both students have had ongoing issues with each other. When they passed each other, words were exchanged. Both students came toward each other in a very aggressive manner. A staff member observed the incident and stepped between the two students. Two other staff members came to assist. Both students at one point or another attempted to push through the staff members, making physical contact with adults. Punches were thrown by both students but did not connect. Both students were issued
citations for disorderly conduct and both were suspended from school for multiple days.
Shoplifting On April 14 an officer was dispatched to CVS, located at 1009 E. Main St. on the report of a theft. The store manager said a male wearing an orange jacket took three cans of beer from the store and did not pay for them. The male subject was last seen riding a bicycle heading eastbound on Imo Boulevard. Shortly after being dispatched, the officer located a subject matching the description of the suspect riding a bicycle in the 600 block of East Fourth Street. He was carrying two white plastic bags. The officer stopped the subject and identified him as Paul Perrin Jr. Inside one of the bags the officer could see three 24-ounce cans of beer. The officer asked Perrin where he was coming from and he said CVS. The officer asked to see his receipts which he provided. Perrin had purchased several items, however the beers were not on the receipts. The officer asked Perrin why he took the beers and he said he paid for them, telling the officer he put them up on the counter and thought they got rang up. Perrin offered to go back to the store to pay for them. The officer contacted the store manager who said Perrin put the beers on the counter for purchase but was told that it was too early to buy beer and he couldn’t buy it until 11 a.m. After purchasing his prescription, Perrin put the three beers in his bag and left the store without paying for them. The officer prepared a citation for theft and warned Perrin for trespassing and told him not to return to the CVS
property. The beers were seized and returned them to CVS. to GPD.
Wanted Person On April 15 an officer conducted a traffic stop for a window tint violation. Through the initial contact the officer confirmed the identity of the operator of the vehicle, who requested the officer use the tint meter to test the darkness of his windows. The driver side window showed a test of 34 percent. Through investigation during the traffic stop, the officer asked the passenger for her Social Security number. Dispatch confirmed through LEADS/NCIC the passenger Alicia Wiedmaier, had a felony warrant through Darke County. The warrant was for felony fraud for illegal use of credit cards, no bond. Through LEADS/NCIC Wiedmaier also was confirmed to have a felony warrant from Kansas for numerous charges including assault on an officer and assault on a corrections officer. Wiedmaier was taken into custody and searched. She was transported to the Darke County Jail, where she was released to staff.

WHC receives top statewide award GREENVILLE – Wayne HealthCare will be named a recipient of the 2019 Ohio Hospital Association Energy Cup winners in the small hospital category at the OHA Annual Meeting on Tuesday, June 4 in Columbus. Wayne HealthCare will be recognized and presented with an award for reducing energy consumption by nearly 5 percent between 2017 and 2018. The nationally recognized OHA Energy & Sustainability Program supports Ohio hospitals’ mission to optimize operating costs to be more environmentally sustainable. “It is great to finally receive an award for improving building performance, energy efficiency and reducing emissions at the hospital,” said Jeff Subler, vice president of Support Services. The hospital is a DP&L Retrocommissioning participant, which focuses on optimizing existing building systems so they operate as efficiently and effectively as possible. By taking advantage of the Dayton Power & Light Company energy efficiency rebates and case study, Wayne HealthCare achieved more savings than any other hospital in the small hospital category. The OHA Energy & Sustainability Program annually sponsors the OHA Energy Cup competition. In the 2017-2018 competition period, Energy Cup participants achieved cost savings
equivalent to hiring 15 nurses, or the environmental equivalent of removing 4,000 passenger vehicles from the road. Winners were determined based on greatest energy savings at the end of the year. Participants compete in three categories: large hospitals (more than 250,000 square feet), small hospitals (less than 250,000 square feet) and non-hospital medical buildings. Winners were determined based on greatest energy savings year-over-year. In total, over one-third of hospitals had energy reductions greater than 2 percent compared to the previous year. Forty-five percent of participating member hospitals saved more than the nationwide average, reflecting Ohio hospitals commitment to energy efficiency. “Energy use in commercial buildings accounts for nearly 20 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and energy use at a cost of more than $100 billion per year,” said Nolan Rutschilling, director of Energy Program, OHA. “We commend the work of this year’s honorees and their commitment to pursuing cost savings, energy sustainability, and public health energy sustainability and public health.” OHA launched the OHA Energy Cup in 2015, a firstof-its-kind competition, to improve energy efficiency at Ohio hospitals, reduce

emissions and improve public health. This competition allows hospitals and health care facilities throughout the state to compete to see which buildings can reduce their energy use the most by Dec. 31. Facility managers measure and track their buildings’ monthly energy consumption using ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager®, the U.S. EPA’s online tool. The EPA measures source energy use intensity, which represents the total amount of raw fuel required to operate a building. Participating Ohio facilities will make improvements to their building’s energy performance and measure results. “Wayne HealthCare currently has an overall energy star score of 74. At a score of 75, we will become the 14th hospital out of more than 225, in Ohio to be Energy Star Rated. We will continue to implement internal initiatives to achieve this status,” said Subler.

“It costs money,” he said. Also needed, Wolf said, would be support from city departments, the community and a trained inspection staff. “At the end of it, evaluate housing problems to see if the process is working. Let’s get the community involved,” Wolf said. “We want to get an audience of city council.” He also proposed a local ordinance, with definitions, administrative positions,
substantive provisions, penalty sections and enabling conflicting and unconditional clauses. “We want to make sure we’re protecting our people’s constitutional rights,” he said. Wolf proposed creating a registration program and performing inspections on all details of a property and provide results. Funding would involve fees to cover the costs and for staff, vehicles and equipment. According to his findings, there are a total 5,438 residential units in Greenville.
“The conclusion: 55 percent of residential units in the city are rentals,” he said. During the questionand-answer period that followed, subjects included “legislate a rule, then legislate a penalty,” and possibly looking at grants. Knapke closed the program by announcing there are 15 to 17 neighborhoods in the local Neighborhood Watch program. “It takes talking to each other, but we need to talk more and get the word out,” she said. “We’ll keep meeting like this until we grow.”
Greenville BOE ratifies contract with Local 247 By Susan Hartley
shartley@aimmediamidwest.com
GREENVILLE – Greenville Board of Education on Thursday agreed to ratify a master agreement with the Ohio Association of Public School Employees Local 247, effective July 1, 2018. The agreement will remain in effect until June 30, 2021. In addition, the board agreed to approve a Memorandum of Understanding with the union, effective April 18, 2019. The union encompasses the school district’s classified employees, for exam-
ple, secretarial, bus drivers, clerks, crossing guards, custodians, Education Management Information System (EMIS) employees, maintenance/maintenance assistant, paraprofessionals, and mechanics. In fall 2017, classified employees alerted district administrators they were looking at unionizing. Last spring, representatives with the Ohio Association of Public School Employees began coordinating efforts with the district to unionize. Superintendent Doug Fries took time to thank staff who had been working
with administration and board. “I’d like to thank Jay (Bush) and the classified group,” Fries said. Bush, the district’s grounds and maintenance supervisor also is serving as the president of the local union. “It’s been a positive experience for all of us.” Bush agreed, telling Fries and the board the more than year-long process has been a “positive and learning” experience. “We’re happy to have a contract,” Bush said following the board meeting. According to information provided The Early
Bird last spring, organizing a union for classified employees would help alleviate “potential” grievances, including wage issues, healthcare, adequate training opportunities and adequate equipment to do their job. In other business Thursday, the board approved the week of May 6-10 as Staff Member Appreciation Week. “I’d like to thank all out staff members for making Greenville City Schools a great place for kids to go to school and teachers to work,” Fries said. The board also approved the renewal of the district’s membership in the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA).

The board, with funding from the Ohio Association of Community Behavioral Health Authorities (OACBHA), the Prescription Abuse Leadership Initiative (RxALI), and NAMI Darke, Miami, and Shelby counties, will host Captain Dan Willis, author of “Bulletproof Spirit: The First Responder’s Essential Resource for Protecting and Healing Mind and Heart.” “Our first responders bear a burden for keeping our communities safe,” said Beth Adkins, Tri-County’s Director of Prevention and Education. “The best way we can say ‘thank you’ and help ease that burden is to provide support and information. Capt. Willis has worked with first responders across the country to help them focus on self-care and emotional wellness in the face of increased demands. We are excited to be able to bring him
to Ohio to meet with our responders.” Three related events are scheduled for Thursday, May 2: a workshop format led by Capt. Willis from 1-4 p.m.; a celebration supper from 4:30-6 p.m.; and an informative and inspirational talk from 6-7 p.m. The events are free to first responders living and working in Miami, Darke and Shelby counties: Fire/ EMT, law enforcement, corrections, addictions counselors, crisis workers, emergency department doctors, nurses and technicians, and any others on the front lines of the community’s fight against opioids and other addictions who are at risk from vicarious trauma. Spouses, partners and supporters welcome; content may not be suitable for children. There is no charge for any of the events, but registration is required. Register at www.tcbmds. org/first-responders. All events take place at First Lutheran Church, 2899 W. Main St., Troy, OH 45373. Captain Dan Willis has been a police officer for the La Mesa Police Department near San Diego, Calif. He has served as homicide detective, SWAT Commander, and instructor for the San Diego Public Safety Institute, the county’s police academy, where he provides emotional-survival training. His website is www.firstresponderwellness.com.

and Cupp have a proposal to change school funding. The Cupp-Patterson model takes into account actual enrollment at the school, as well as property and income levels in the district. While some districts projections under this model are very favorable, for Greenville this model just gives us similar funding to the current formula. The model sets out to be more fair, and it would pump even more money into K-12 schools than the governor’s plan, $1.1 billion over two years compared to $500 million with Governor DeWine’s plan. However, based on enrollment, poverty, income and property tax values for Greenville City Schools, using this method results in the district falling into a small group that experiences very little change to state funding levels. At this time, we have to wait to see which model or combinations of ideas will end up funding our schools for the next two years.

for schools. In his initial budget released in midMarch, Governor DeWine proposed that each K-12 district receive the same funding as the year before plus additional funding for mental health services, wraparound supports, mentoring, after school programs and other services. The additional funds are on a sliding scale, based on poverty level. For fiscal year 2020, the funding is up to $250 per student and for 2021 up to $300 per student. Under the governor’s proposed budget, it is anticipated that Greenville would receive the full funding for these services, thus increasing our state funding by an estimated $619,987 in 2020, and $743,984 in 2021. While the governor has his proposed budget, the final budget will not be fully established until late June. The budget has to go through the House and Senate first and will likely be modified a number of times. Currently in the House, Representatives Patterson

Lady Wave sweeps Tippecanoe Lady Red Devils GAYLEN BLOSSER
SPORTS EDITOR gblosser@aimmediamidwest.com
GREENVILLE – The Lady Wave made it a sweep of the Tippecanoe Lady Red Devils with a Tuesday night 11-4 GWOC American North victory on the heels of Monday night’s 9-8 road win at Tipp City. “Great team there in Tipp,” said Greenville coach Jerrod Newland. “Good scrappy group, good coach, good program. It’s just a good ballgame.” “We have a good team,” Tippecanoe Coach Scott Sutton said. “We have a very good team and Greenville is a very good team as well.” Both teams came into the two game GWOC series undefeated and with the two games in the book the Lady Wave tightened their hold on the American North with a perfect 9-0 record while Tippecanoe drops to second place in league play with a 6-2 mark. “Last night we proved that we could hang with them,” Sutton stated. “Tonight I think nerves got with us a
little bit. We get here late, we have a hard time getting a bus to get here on time so I think we feel rushed but that’s not an excuse. We just have to get over that. We have to come in more confident and just do our job. We are a very good team.” “Any day when you go on the road anything can happen – the ball doesn’t know,” Newland said of Monday night’s win. “Second day game and they thought they were going to come in with their great record and everything and we just like to put teams behind. We put them behind and just moving on to the goal with the last GWOC title once again.” Piqua holds down the third place spot with a 5-3 conference record, Butler comes in fourth at 4-4, Sidney fifth at 4-5 while Troy comes in sixth with a 3-4 league mark. The Lady Wave opened the bottom of the first inning with four consecutive singles from Morgan Gilbert, Susi Blocher, Lani Shilt and a two run single off the bat of Kennedy Fashner to give Greenville a 2-0
lead. A Tipp error on Haleigh Mayo’s infield grounder plated the third run of the inning to give the Lady Wave a 3-0 advantage after one complete. The Lady Red Devils stranded two second inning singles with Haleigh MayoBehnken’s catch of a Tipp popup to second bringing GHS to the plate for their big inning of the night in the bottom of the second. Greenville’s speedy shortstop, Morgan Gilbert legged out her second infield single of the night to get the Lady Wave rolling in the second. Blocher reached first by way of a hit batsman followed by a RBI single to center from Shilt and a 4-0 GHS lead. Mayo-Behnken made it a 6-0 game with two run single to center and a Courtney Bryson RBI single upped the Lady Wave lead to 7-0. Grace Shaffer drove in two runs with a single to right giving Greenville a 9-0 lead after two innings of play. The Lady Wave made it a 10-0 game in the bottom of the third with Susi Blocher drilling a leadoff solo home-
run deep over the right field fence. Tippecanoe broke into the scoring column with RBI singles off the bat of Kaela May and a Emma Miller RBI to trail Greenville 10-2 after four and made it a 10-3 game in the top of the fifth with a Kaitlyn Husic RBI. The Lady Wave used a sixth inning Bryson single and a Blocher RBI fielder’s choice to close out scoring on the night and keep the Lady Wave perfect in Greater Western Ohio Conference play. “It’s going to be a grind,” Newland said of the remainder of the season. “We still have some good matchups coming up but anytime you can put teams behind you it’s awesome and today to put Tipp behind us - two in a row and just nice especially when you score 20 runs in two ballgames against them –that’s what I kind of like.’ “We wanted to win – we at least wanted to split with them,” said Sutton. “We thought we had a shot to at least tie them for the GWOC North, but we are playing good teams and it is getting

us better for that second season (tournament play).” Fashner started on the mound for the Lady Wave throwing 4.2 innings allowing five hits, two runs while striking out one and walking one. Greenville freshman first baseman Susi Blocher led Greenville at the plate going 3-4 with a home run, 2-RBIs and 3-runs scored. Shilt went 3-5 with a RBI and 2-runs and Mayo-Behnken went 2-4 with 2-RBIs and a run. Bryson was 2-4 with a
walk and 2-runs. Gilbert went 2-4 with a walk and 2-runs, Fashner was 2-4 with 2-RBIs and Shaffer went 1-1 with a walk and 2-RBIs for the Lady Wave. Husic led Tippecanoe going 2-4 with a home run, 2-RBIs and a run. May went 1-4 with a RBI and a run and Miller was 1-3 with a RBI.

STAR 88.3 gives love to Huber Family DARKE COUNTY – Trevor Huber is a name many are familiar with in Darke County, after hearing the news of his tragic passing in January. He was killed in an ATV accident. The Versailles community, where Trevor went to school, was rocked by yet another tragedy. But again, the amazing generosity of our community shone so brightly! STAR 88.3, the area’s local Christian radio station, heard locally on 88.9 in Union City, is all about finding ways to serve the community. That’s why they Give Love several times a year. They accept nominations for someone to surprise, and then they pick a few recipients and surprise them with a nice basket. For Valentine’s Day, they again accepted nominations from the community for someone they’d like to surprise. Someone who is going through a hard time or is an inspiration in some way. Amy Hoying, a teacher in Versailles, nominated Trevor’s family. STAR 88.3 community representative Naomi Cantrell reached out to Mrs. Hoying and other friends of the Huber family for more information about the family. “We want to make our surprises as personal as we can,” Cantrell said. “We give them a basket full of things we hope encourages them in a very personal way.” But surprising the Huber family turned into far more than a gift basket. As Naomi Cantrell began
The couple has six children listed with their spouses: Christa Guggenbiller, Lima; Eric and Missy Guggenbiller, Celina; Sherri and Roger Wagner, Columbus; Ryan and Mary Guggenbiller, Coldwater; Justin and Krista Guggenbiller; Coldwater; Alan Guggenbiller, Celina. They also have 11 grandchildren.

to talk to friends and family, so many began to ask how they could help. Because STAR 88.3 is a non-profit ministry, they are not legally allowed to raise funds for individuals, but the community wanted to help. An idea began to take shape: The goal was to raise $1,000 to give to the Huber family, so they could take their family on a summer getaway. It would be something they can look forward to, and a way to remind them a few months down the road that their community loves them. So, Cantrell began a GoFundMe page to give the community a place to Give Love to the Huber family. Donations came pouring in, and it was not long before $1,000 was raised. On Wednesday, March 27, Naomi and some friends of the Huber’s surprised them at their home. STAR 88.3 provided a beautiful basket of love and encouragement, including a $50 gift card from The Inn at Versailles so the family could go out

It was a very special time. “I have found that one of the important ways a Christian radio station can serve their community is to provide opportunities for the community to meet a need,” said Cantrell. “So often, when tragedy strikes, we all wish we could do something, but we’re not sure how or what. STAR 88.3 offered the community a chance to Give Love to the Huber family, and the community responded in a big way. We’re praying that the Huber family is blessed by this gesture and that they can see once again how loved they are.” STAR 88.3 is currently accepting nominations again.

He emphasized that the mission is centered on balance and a holistic approach.

Jose was a member of the Y’s swim team for 12 years, and has 30 seasons of swim competition under his belt. He stepped up to volunteer as the Darke County Sharks head coach this year.

Midmark Corporation, and Financial Achievement Services. The meeting concluded with a reminder that the Y’s message is grounded in love. Casalano said, “It is love that helps someone who walks into the Y and says, ‘I need to find a place.’ It is that love that motivates
someone to say it doesn’t matter if you can pay. It doesn’t matter what shape you’re in. It doesn’t matter how broken you are or how strong you are, if you’re affluent or poor, a businessman or a felon just out of prison. We have a place for you, and we want to love you. It is that love that changes the world.”

GREENVILLE – Dean and Arlene Bankson, from Wieland Jewelers in Greenville, recently returned from attending the semiannual conference of the Independent Jewelers Organization (IJO) held in Phoenix, AZ. During a rousing General Session, they met the dynamic musician, speaker and author Mark Schulman, world-class drummer for Foreigner, Billy Idol, Beyonce, Cher and currently Pink. His theme is “Hacking the Rockstar Attitude” and he took attendees on a musical, passionate and revelatory journey through his experiences working with some of the greatest musical artists of all time. “We chose Mark because he gives his audience the tools to literally change their relationships, improve their business and increase the happy moments they experience in life,” stated IJO President & CEO Jeff Roberts. “It’s all in the attitude and Mark truly rocked the crowd.” According to the Banksons, “We learned that in business, Rockstars are the ones who cut the edge, the ones with the magical energy, power and ability to influence others and stand out from their peers. We can all be Rockstars.

Commissioners approve letter SUSAN HARTLEY
STAFF WRITER shartley@aimmediamidwest.com
DARKE COUNTY – County Commissioners approved a letter of support for Whirlpool Corporation’s Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) application on Monday. The Darke County Economic Development office, explained Commissioner Matt Aultman, requested commissioners officially show support of Whirlpool’s application request as a major employer within the county. The letter was received from The Greater Dayton Foreign Trade Zone Inc. and states: “We are pleased that our community has been chosen
as part of the strategic plan by Whirlpool Corporation to continue to invest in our area and make its U.S. business more competitive. KitchenAid has operated in Greenville, OH since 1942, and employs around 1,200 persons in the area.” The letter of support goes on to share how many communities across the country are transitioning from a manufacturingbased economy, with some moving their operations overseas, the “FTZ project is the kind of project that will help give us a more diversified economy and compliment other area businesses throughout the region. The FTZ also will help ensure the global competitiveness of Whirlpool’s U.S.-based manufacturing
operations as well as provide a more favorable environment for job retention and job growth in our community for years to come.” In other business Monday, commissioners approved a change order for work being completed by Foster Tree & Landscaping Co. at the Darke County Airport. Last month, commissioners approved a contract with Foster to take down 19 trees along the east portion of the airport to clear obstructions for eventual nighttime use of the runway. The original contract was approved for $5,390. “There was more than what they anticipated,” said Commissioner Mike Rhoades on Monday,
explaining the total of trees that need removed jumped from 19 to 26. On Monday, commissioners approved an additional $4,620, bringing the total cost of the tree removal project to $10,010. The tree removal project is being paid for by a grant the county applied for and received from the Ohio Department of Transportation. Also approved Monday was a contract with Wall Bros. Asphalt Co. in the amount of $1,016,189.07 for upcoming paving projects around the county. Revenue from the county’s gas tax and title fees, which go into the county engineer’s fund will be used to pay for the paving projects.

Trash Bash From page 1B
Fourman said she was not made aware if there were any traffic issues during Trash Bash. “The district and the sheriff try to make sure that all of our volunteers are safe during this event,” she said. “We announce to all area news media prior to the event.” This event is held for two days in April each year, rain or shine. The two days have
been set up to accommodate all of the volunteers. The collection began at 8 a.m. Saturday. It was noted that the Solid Waste District was looking for numerous groups of four or five this year to “pound the pavement” at their assigned two-mile (depending on cross roads, sections may be longer or shorter than two miles) locations picking up bags of trash and recyclables. For future reference, it was reported that clean-up groups can be started with
friends from school, work, church, and volunteer organizations or clubs. Each group was given black bags for trash and clear bags for recyclables. Trucks from the Darke County Highway Garage followed assigned routes and picked up bags left on the targeted collection roads on Monday. For separating the recyclables from the trash, each group will be awarded $50 for participating. The $50 award must be given to a Darke County non-profit organization.

with a natural talent to impart a space with perfectly balanced colors and schemes that fit with one’s lifestyle and design preferences. Others are not as equipped. But that doesn’t mean design has to suffer. An interior designer with knowledge and resources who’s in your corner can make all the difference. Many people are hesitant to bring in professional designers because of cost. But contrary to popular belief, working with an interior decorator is not something reserved for the rich and famous. Designers actually can save homeowners money in the long run. A good designer will choose the right amount of high-quality elements that will be durable and timeless. This means less money will ultimately be spent on replacing cheap materials or redesigning rooms that have gone out of style. According to the design experts at Homepolish, utilizing a designer to transform a space can create rooms that are more in tune and balanced with homeowners’ needs helping to improve mood and functionality. That can extend to other areas of a person’s life and well-being. Putting the task of designing a home’s interior in someone else’s hands frees up time to focus on other projects as well. Designers can look at a space with a careful eye and not be influenced by items that have sentimental attachment. He or she can help decide if anything should be repurposed or removed. Plus, an interior designer can help homeowners stay on budget. Designers also can serve as liaisons for clients who have difficulty communicating with builders and architects. Designers are trained to think about things that homeowners tend to overlook, such as placement of lighting, outlets and room flow. He or she also likely has contacts within the industry that can be utilized, saving even more
time and money. A good designer can be worth the investment. The end results will be an interior that homeowners will be proud to call home.

Emerging deck trends for homeowners Custom-built decks can expand usable outdoor entertaining spaces. Decks can surround pools and create outdoor patio areas that make it easy to establish multitiered living spaces, improving the functionality of outdoor areas. Certain deck trends have emerged as industry experts’ top picks for the upcoming remodeling and renovation season. For those thinking of revamping an existing deck, or building an entirely new one, these trends are on point. * Established perimeters: “Picture framing” is not a new trend, but one that has taken greater hold in recent years. The term refers to aesthetically appealing designs that conceal the ends of deck boards for a clean finish. Some designs feature contrasting material colors on the ends for even more impact. This helps create refined perimeters for a polished look. * Roof-top decking: Urban areas also can benefit from decking to create usable outdoor spaces. In fact, many new condo-

minium and townhouse communities are incorporating roof-top decks into their designs, particularly in communities with water views or other impressive vistas. HGTV experts suggest roof-top decks feature light-colored materials and fixtures to help keep the area cool even in direct sunlight. * Distressed hardwood: Builder and Developer, a management resource for professional homebuilders, says that the trend for using distressed hardwoods at home has migrated outside. Some decking manufacturers have recently introduced low-maintenance composite deck boards that mimic the look and feel of distressed, rustic hardwood flooring. This weathered appearance gives the look of age without the upkeep of real aged wood. * Wooden walkways: Decking can be the more traditional design people envision with a patio table or outdoor furniture. But it also can consist of wooden walkways or a low-laying patio to accentuate the yard. * Mixed materials: Homeowners may be inspired by commercial eateries, breweries and urban markets in their exterior design choices. Decks featuring composite materials and aluminum railings blend sophistication, urban appeal and comfort. * Personal touches: Homeowners can customize their decks with personal touches. It’s not unheard of to wrap columns in stone or glass tiles for more impact. And a vast array of decking colors now enables fun interpretations for outdoor areas. * Fire pit conversation area: Many decks can incorporate water or fire elements for visual appeal. Gas-fueled fire elements can expand the functional-
ity of decks beyond the warm seasons, or make enjoying them practical on nights when the tempera-
ture plummets. Decks are reimagined in many different ways with continually evolving trends.
