who admitted he had been drinking and was intoxicated. Turner said he had been traveling northbound on Donald Drive and rearended a vehicle parked in the 1000 block. The officer smelled the odor of alcohol coming from Turner, and noticed he had slurred speech when he spoke. Turner’s eyes also were glossy and he was not able to keep his balance. When asked where he was coming from, Turner said he and his girlfriend recently left Tolly’s Gastropub on Wagner Avenue. Turner agreed to perform sobriety tests, which he failed,. He was placed under arrest and searched. Turner was transported to the Greenville Police Department, where he took a breath test, which revealed his blood alcohol content was .165. Turner was placed under an administrative license suspension and was issued a citation for assured clear distance and operating a vehicle under the influence. On May 12 an officer conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle operated by Charles Smith. Prior to making the traffic stop, the officer observed the vehicle traveling westbound on West Third Street near Sycamore Street. The vehicle’s lights were not illuminated and it was completely dark
outside. The operator left Rooster’s Coop at 308 South Broadway Street and traveled southbound making a right turn onto West Third Street and while making the right turn the vehicle traveled into the area where vehicles park along the roadway. The vehicle continued on West Third Street and left its lane of travel where it was practicable to remain on the right side of the roadway. The vehicle turned right again onto Vine Street where the operator turned the headlights on. The officer conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle on Vine Street near West Main Street. Upon making contact with Smith, the officer could smell a strong odor of alcohol coming from inside the vehicle. When asked about alcohol consumption, Smith said he had five beers at the bar. He also said he knew he shouldn’t be driving but his passenger was too drunk to drive. Another officer arrived on scene to assist. Officers asked Smith for his license, registration and proof of insurance at which point he stated he did not have a valid license, only an ID card from Florida. He said he was in Ohio visiting friends. Smith was asked to exit the vehicle to perform field sobriety tests. He agreed and did poorly on the tests. When
Smith exited the vehicle, the officer could smell the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath. His speech was slurred, he was unsteady on his feet and his eyes were glossy and blood shot. Smith said he had two prior OVI convictions in Florida, which were confirmed with the Florida BMV. Smith was placed under arrest for OVI and transported to the Greenville Police Department where he was asked, but refused to provide a breath sample. He was placed under an ALS and was issued a citation for OVI, marked lanes, no license and was released to a friend. Assault On May 6 an officer assigned as the School Resource Officer at the Greenville K-8 building was contacted to investigate an assault. Through the investigation it was learned two female students were on the playground and had exchanged words. A review of the school’s surveillance video shows one of the students coming inside the building and the other student grabbing her by the back of her head pulling her hair. This caused the student who was assaulted to go to the ground. During this time, the offender used a closed fist to punch the victim in the head sev-
eral times. The offender left the area. The victim was escorted to the office by a staff member who had come to aid after the assault. The victim complained of pain to her head and neck but no visible injures were observed by the officer. A copy of the video from this incident was placed into the case file. Wanted Person On May 13, a detective requested assistance with a subject he was with at the Darke County Courthouse. The subject, Joseph Smith, had an active felony warrant from Darke County for domestic violence. Smith was transported to the Darke County Jail with no bond.

Grange presents dictionaries ARCANUM – Stelvideo Grange #295 and the Stelvideo Junior Grange #216 are in their 15th years of presenting dictionaries to third graders at Arcanum Elementary through the Dictionary Project. Dictionary Project is a non-profit organization designed to aid third grade teachers in their goal to see all their students become good writers, active readers, creative thinkers, and resourceful learners. Stelvideo Grange and Junior Grange take great pleasure in presenting the students with a children’s dictionary. The gift of these dictionaries would not have been possible without their fundraisers such as their fair
booth displays, selling Ohio State Grange Cookbooks, Entertainment Books and Fair Tickets, plus donations from members and from FOOPA and Classic Car Club. Their 16-member Grange and two-member Junior Grange has distributed approximately 80 dictionaries this year to Arcanum third grade students and teachers at absolutely no cost to the students, the teachers, or the school. They have given over 1,200 dictionaries to Arcanum School in the 15 years. It is in this spirit of giving and Community Service that makes their volunteer work with Stelvideo Grange and Stelvideo Junior Grange tremendously rewarding.

AG certifies summary for proposed amendment COLUMBUS – The Ohio Attorney General’s Office recently certified a summary of a petition for a proposed amendment to the Ohio Constitution. The proposed amendment would change the way Ohio’s Electoral College members vote in presidential elections. An alternative summary for the same proposed amendment was rejected. The attorney general’s role is to determine whether the summary is a fair and truthful representation of the proposed constitutional amendment. Petitioners have submitted two petitions with different summaries, each supported with the requisite 1,000 valid signatures from registered Ohio voters. This is an unusual tactic, and perhaps the first time it has been used. “Both summaries accurately restated the proposed amendment; but only the first is both fair and truthful,” said Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost. “The second summary fails to note the most important piece of information for the voter: that the amendment,
if adopted, could require Ohio’s representatives in the Electoral College to vote for the winner of the national presidential popular vote rather than for the winner of Ohio’s presidential popular vote.” The first summary is certified; the second is not. Once the summary language is certified by the attorney general’s office and the initial signatures are verified by the county boards of elections, the Ohio Ballot Board must determine if the amendment contains a single issue or multiple issues. The petitioners must then collect signatures for each issue from registered voters in each of 44 of Ohio’s 88 counties, equal to 5 percent of the total vote cast in the county for the office of governor at the last gubernatorial election. Total signatures collected statewide must also equal 10 percent of the total vote cast for the office of governor at the last gubernatorial election. The full text of letters to petitioners and the amendment petitions can be found at www.OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov/Petitions.

Local employers recognized for safety GREENVILLE – Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation (BWC) honored nine local employers for reaching one year without workplace injuries or illnesses that kept workers away from work for more than a day. The employers, members of the Darke County Safety Council, received the 100% Award from the BWC during the safety council’s annual awards ceremony. “A healthy workforce is crucial to ensuring that
Ohio’s economy remains strong, and I applaud these businesses for their commitment to workplace safety,” said Governor DeWine. “These Darke County employers have demonstrated a commitment to safety, and I congratulate them on this special recognition.” Local employers recognized with the 100% Award include: Bob Drees Construction, Inc., Classic Warehousing, Darke County Chamber of Commerce, J & A Construction, Inc., Kremer Roofing Inc., Rebsco, Inc.,

Greenville Police Department joins Click It or Ticket GREENVILLE – The Greenville Police Department will join local and national law enforcement officers and highway safety advocates all across the country for the 2019 national Click It or Ticket seat belt enforcement mobilization, May 20-June 2. During the mobilization, officers will be cracking down on motorists who fail to wear their seat belts – both day and night. We’re all excited about the potential for automated vehicles to help prevent crashes and save lives. They promise
a far safer future on our roads. But what about safer driving today? There are loads of new safety features that help make crashes avoidable and more survivable. But there’s one technology in today’s cars and trucks that is central to safe driving: the seat belt. You might not think of seat belts as a safety technology, but they’re the foundation of safer driving. In 2015 alone, seat belts saved 13,941 lives. However, 2,804 additional lives could have been saved if everyone had buckled up.
That’s why NHTSA remains committed to convincing every American to always buckle up. Seat belts are the single most effective safety technology in the history of the automobile. A NHTSA study of lives saved by vehicle technologies found that, between 1960 and 2012, seat belts saved more lives—329,715, to be exact—than all other vehicle technologies combined, including air bags, energy-absorbing steering assemblies, and electronic stability control. Of course,
seat belts have been available much longer than many of the other safety features the study reviewed. But they remain your first line of defense in a crash and your first step toward safer driving. Law enforcement will be cracking down on Click It or Ticket violators around the clock. Local motorists should be prepared to buckle up. “If law enforcement finds you on the road unbuckled anytime or anywhere, you can expect to get a ticket — not a warning. No excuses and

ers will continue their zero tolerance policy year-round when motorists are stopped for other violations and are found to not be wearing their safety belt.

grams begin, says Reuben Kennett, maintenance supervisor for the Greenville Public Library. Kennett believes the initial library wing addition and remodeling over a decade ago had more renovation plans for the original section. Unfortunately, in that same period, there was a reduction in the Ohio State Public Library Funding (PLF) by an estimated 30 percent. Since that time, patch jobs to the original library roof have been completed when facing a leak but time has come for new tile and lining. The silver lining to the project, says Kennett, is that the
replacement tile will look similar to the original Carnegie library roofing tile and the tile on the newer wing additions. “It will [still] have that historical Carnegie library look,” said Kennett, keeping to the authenticity of the 100-plus year old building. The Greenville Public Library was dedicated in 1903, after two years of construction, thanks to funding provided by philanthropist and steel industrialist Andrew Carnegie. Reach reporter Bethany J.

The parent cited low morale among team players as one concern. In other discussion Thursday, board members shared their thoughts on a possible band trip for the 2020-21 school year. According the Superintendent Doug Fries, the high school marching band has been invited to perform in the Veteran’s Day Parade in November 2020 in New York City. Fries said he wanted the board to give him feedback about students making the trip, which would include a four-day absence from class. No final decision was made Thursday, with board members pointing out several pros and cons of such a trip, including planning ways to be sure students can keep up with their regular class work during their absence.

and Giant Jenga. However, it appeared the main draw was the inflatable obstacle course provided by the National Guard recruiter as indicated by the long line of students waiting to try their skill at it. “This is the second year for the obstacle course,” Lochtefeld said. “We try to add games every year.” Also featured was food. “We received donations in either materials, food or money,” Lochtefeld said. “The kids make all of the food. They bring in the ingredients and desserts and make everything.” Even though it’s for the English students and yearbook staff, all students in
the high school purchase tickets, for which the proceeds this year went to the Humane Society. The Pay-It-Forward Picnic got its start when introduced by former teacher Tara George, who has since retired. “I worked with Tara until she retired and took over, bringing Kristina on board,” Lochtefeld said. “We’ve probably done this nine years. The athletic boosters let us use their grill and concession stand.” She concluded, “This is like a high school field day.

His maternal grandparents, Keith and Carolyn Furlong, of Arcanum; paternal grandmother, Marilyn Ridgway, of Sarasota, Fla. are proud of Charles’ accomplishments and know he will have a successful career. His sister, Emma Joy Baron, is a sophomore in the BSN program at Purdue University. She is very proud, as well as very jealous, that her brother is finished.

special certifications. But all of you have one thing in common–you want to do better in the future, you want to make tomorrow better than today, and you all have a collective goal–to contribute to your state and nation, to make society a better place through your contributions.” Barlow, who spent 26 years of her career in the United State Air Force most recently serving as the 88th Air Base Wing and Installation Commander at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, then went on to thank the graduates. “I want to thank you for your focus on education and on making the world a better place. America must succeed in its latest endeavors. The stakes are very high. If we don’t win, we lose it for our children, and it’s far too important to do that.” “So, when you leave here today continue to reach for the stars. Take what your educators, your school, and your family have given you
and use it to make your life better, and to make life better for the people around you. America will then be a much better place.” This year’s graduating class earned over 550 degrees and certificates in such career areas as the arts, business, communications, engineering and manufacturing, health sciences, humanities, information technology, mathematics, sciences, and social and public services. The Edison State Community College Class of 2019 features: * 479 graduates earned 564 degrees or certificates; * 40% are career degrees * 22% Associate of Arts or Associate of Science transfer degrees * 37% one-year certificates * 2% short-term technical certificates * Ages range from 16.7 to 60.

festival also donated wood carvings to: Zac Richard Memorial Scholarship, FFA, Versailles Fire Station, Goat Farmers Club, Versailles Eagles, Friends of Hole Field, Diamond Club and Versailles Schools. Over the past year, the festival was able to donate nearly $75,000 into the community and over $600,000 in the last 10 years. This included a contribution towards the replacement of the walking track and amphitheater being constructed at Heritage Park by YOLO and the Heritage Park Board. This project is currently under construction and still
accepting donations. Poultry Days recently met with Versailles Youth Wrestling. Poultry Days has supported this group with an annual donation for over 10 years. In true community partnership, the wrestlers, parents and coaches along with the Boy Scouts keep the festival grounds extremely clean during the festival. In addition to supporting area groups with direct donations, the festival strives to include organizations in the festival to support their fundraising. This includes Versailles Music Boosters, VAPPA, The Zac Richard Memorial Scholar-
ship, Knights of Columbus, YOLO, 4-H, and Versailles Lions. If your Versailles area organization would like to become involved, please contact them. Poultry Days thanks festival goers and the volunteers and businesses that contribute their time and resources to the festival. Increasing attendance and chicken sales have allowed the board to keep pace with inflation and to invest back into the festival to maintain a quality event. The 2019 Versailles Poultry Days Festival will be held June 14-16. For more information, visit www.versaillespoultrydays.com.

Bringing disability representation to literature MUNCIE, Ind. — A team of future writers and educators at Ball State University, including Rossburg resident Katelyn Warner, worked for an entire semester to better represent Warner people with disabilities in youth and young adult literature, which culminated in a fully accessible, multi-feature website. “I can’t watch a video online without wondering why the creator didn’t add subtitles or captions for someone who is deaf. When I’m reading a popular book, I wonder why there isn’t a non-normative character,” Warner said. “This project completely changed the way I look at the world and its accessibility and representation. I want to make sure that everyone, no matter their limitations, can easily obtain the information they want and need, and can see themselves positively reflected in literature.” According to the 2016 Disabilities Statistics Annual Report, 12.6 percent of the U.S. population has a disability. Yet, only 10 of 500 award-winning children’s novels, or 0.02 percent, published between 1987 and 1991 had a disabled character, noted Dr.
Darolyn Jones, the faculty mentor and an assistant teaching professor of English. “Children’s books with disability representation are valuable for every child,” Jones said. “They help us understand all of the ‘characters’ in our classroom, in our community, and in our world, yet disability is too often not recognized as part of the diversity culture. Our students poured their passion into combating this problem.” Warner, an English education student who just finished her sophomore year, began her disability representation research by re-reading the books she was exposed to as a child, researching how people with disabilities are generally portrayed in fiction, and studying the disability rights movement. She also examined children’s reading spaces to examine representative books and analyze the universal design for learning. The immersive learning project partnered with Burris Laboratory School and Brooks School Elementary to introduce disabilityrepresentative books to elementary and middle school level students, and promote
written reflection. Their research findings, plus Burris and Brooks School students’ reflections, are featured on the website, which was constructed to be as accessible as possible. Features such as dyslexia-friendly fonts, audio clips, and closed-captioning videos enable visitors with visual, hearing, and reading impairments to easily access content. The website also includes book critiques, book reviews, book trailers, and free, downloadable stories with disability representation — all written and produced by the student team. Cindy Baldwin, a leading children’s and young adult writer discusses the books readers with disabilities deserve on the site. Since February, the team has presented its work at Birmingham, Ala., and Fishers, Ind.; in June, the team will present at the national Children’s Literature Conference in Indianapolis. “This project sparked a passion in me,” Warner said. “I wish to learn and understand more about educating those with learning disabilities – and I strive to become an activist for those with disabilities and create a world where they feel empowered and can thrive.” Visit the team’s website at rethinkingkidlit.com.
