Taser used on uncooperative subject in Greenville Prowler/Drugs On June 15 an officer responded to the alley in the 600 block of Central Avenue on the report of a prowler. Dispatch had advised the officer the subject was in the complainant’s backyard and was moaning and stumbling around. When the officer arrived, another officer was with the subject, who was sitting on the ground in the alley. Officers could not see the subject’s face or hands due to the hoodie he was wearing. Earlier that day the officer had been dispatched to an apartment in the 500 block of Sweitzer Street on a report of a male
subject wearing similar clothing, sitting in a chair on the front porch, rocking back and forth. Prior to the officer’s arrival at the Sweitzer address, the male subject had left on foot in a unknown direction and was not located. Also that day, officers had received a report of a male subject who was threatening to harm himself and who possibly had a gun. Several officers responded to the scene on Central Avenue to assist with the subject, who had been identified as Tyler Merritt. After several attempts to get Merritt to answer questions or respond to multiple commands to

An officer began to search Merritt and inside one of his hoodie pockets she located a small bag of an unknown white crystal-like substance. When asked what was inside the bag, Merritt answered “ice.” A field test on the substance tested positive for methamphetamine. Merritt was transported to Wayne HealthCare by Greenville Rescue to be medically cleared. While at the hospital, Merritt continued to ignore commands by hospital staff and police officers. After Merritt was medically cleared by hospital staff he was transported to the Darke County Jail, where he was incarcerated on charges of disorderly conduct, obstructing official business and felony drug possession.

VERSAILLES – Versailles’ community theater group, Towne & Country Players, is now selling tickets for their highly-anticipated summer show, Mamma Mia! This is currently the hottest show of the year, as over 37 different groups in Ohio alone are preparing for Mamma Mia! within the next year. The musical, based on the music of Swedish 80’s super group ABBA, focuses on 20-year-old Sophie Sheridan’s search (played by Megan VanSkyock) for her real father days before she is to walk down the aisle and marry long-time boyfriend Sky (played by Mason DeMange). After snooping in her mom’s diary (Donna Sheridan - played by Renee Seibert), she finds that there are three possible dads (played by Ken DeMange, Chad Peyton, and Sam Graves). As Sophie’s wedding day approaches, Donna’s best friends from years ago (played by Lynn Blakeley and Lindsey Ausborn) arrive to lend a helping hand, though chaos and hilarity quickly ensue, led by Donna’s hired hands, Pepper and Eddie (played by L.J. Keihl and Jedd Rismiller). Helping Sophie try to determine who her real dad is are her best friends - Alli, Lisa, Kara, and Maggie (played by Alli Cox, Anna Groff, Cali Groff, and Erin Luft). Trouble is, the more they find out, the more confused Sophie becomes. Supported by an ensemble of over 35 people from multiple hometowns, Towne & Country Players’ production of Mamma Mia! is sure to have people rolling in their seats and dancing in the aisles from the beginning until the surprise end-

the Darke County Jail, where he was held on a warrant for aggravated possession of hydrocodone (F5) with no bond. Hudson received a misdemeanor citation for possession of marijuana. On June 14 an officer on patrol in the downtown area observed a vehicle matching the description of Mariah Green’s vehicle. The officer had prior knowledge a bench warrant had been issued for Green for failing to appear on a criminal trespass complaint. The officer ran the vehicle’s registration through LEADS, which confirmed it belonged to Green and showed the active warrant. The officer checked with GPD dispatch to be sure the warrant was still active, then conducted a traffic stop on Wayne Street. The officer confirmed the passenger’s identity as Green. She was taken into custody and transported to the Darke County Jail. The warrant, issued from the Darke County Municipal Court was for failure to appear for criminal trespass on June 4. Bond was set at $1,025. DUI On June 15 an officer stopped a vehicle in the 900 block of Sater Street in reference to driving on the wrong side of the roadway. The vehicle was traveling westbound in the eastbound lane of Sater Street. While speaking with the driver, Mindy R McGlinch, the officer noticed the odor of alcohol coming from inside the vehicle. While retrieving her license and insurance papers, her hand movement was slow and sluggish. When asked if she had been drinking, McGlinch responded that she had a couple drinks a couple hours before. She also said she was driving home from the VFW. McGlinch performed some sobriety tests, but refused to attempt others. She was arrested for OVI and transported to the Greenville Police Department, where she refused to take a breath test. She was
placed under an ALS suspension and her driver’s license was seized and held for the BMV. McGlinch was released to her husband. On June 15 an officer on routine patrol in a marked Greenville Police cruiser observed a vehicle traveling south bound on Sweitzer Street with the passenger side headlight not illuminated. The officer initiated a traffic stop in the 5400 block of State Route 49 and made contact with the operator, Brian Scott. When the officer advised Scott why he had been stopped, he told the officer the vehicle belonged to a friend and that he was on his way to Moraine. The officer detected an odor of an alcoholic beverage on Scott and also observed he had glassy, bloodshot eyes and slurred speech. Scott told the officer he had “one beer around dinner time at six o’clock.” Due to Scott performing poorly to all field sobriety tests, he was placed under arrest and transported to the GPD, where he attempted to provide a breath sample but was unsuccessful. Scott was cited for the headlights violation and operating a vehicle while under the influence. The officer was unable to seize Scott’s license as he did not have it on his person. He was placed under and ALS suspension and was released to the owner of the vehicle.

on Ross-Medford Road. Those roads were already supposed to have been fixed.” Comments made toward the company and elected officials by those attending the meeting included: “Why don’t our elected officials have a say-so? You represent the people.” “Property values will go down if this complex goes up. With the smell, the property values will go down.” “Show us we’re not already contaminated. What do we know about underground water quality?” “What will this area be if you run us out of water?” “What about air and our health, in general, when putting out contaminants?” “There are 47 houses in New Weston. We’re stuck finding money to put new wells in here.” “I don’t want to see it, smell it. People walk up and down our road and now we won’t be able to anymore.” “The ODA does nothing. Everything is dying on my property. They smell money, we smell manure.” “Put the facility on some congressman’s backyard.” “Will Coopers guarantee truckers will stay on the right route?” Arend responded when someone asked her about the proposed pullet farm. “We have to contract that

We are building this farm to help fulfill a growing consumer demand for cage-free eggs.” She explained that the company is committed to maintain a high quality of life around the farms. “Manure will be kept dry stored in a manure storage barn,” she said. “Manure is an all-natural fertilizer. All manure from the farm will be sold to crop farmers for use as organic fertilizer in accordance with ODA and ODNR regulations.” To answer another question, she responded, “We have a good filtering system inside the barn.” She also stated, “From my experience, Cooper Farms do things the right way. I understand your concerns. We’re doing this to fill consumer demand.” On several occasions, she admitted she did not have answers. Many people made the remark that higher-ups in the company should have been at the meeting. Allen Township Trustee Mestemaker said he contacted someone at Coopers but that person never responded back. “That tells me they’re not going to be good neighbors,” said Tom Wentworth.

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 tax-
hour meeting, asked the representative why they didn’t put it somewhere else, like in Colorado. “When my grandfather, Earl Baltes, put in the Eldora racetrack, he had to go around and get permission from the commissioners and trustees,” Joe said. “This location is irresponsible. Put it on a main road. We have hundreds of signatures. God’s faith is what made this area so great. There is no economic value for us. Where are our individual rights? Individual rights don’t matter. America…its a republic. I ask you please again don’t do this to our area. We don’t want it. We bought our home on a township road to have peace and quiet. There is no benefit in this to our community.” His wife, Gretchen, said, “There are five kids in a 15-mile radius dying from cancer right now. I don’t want that for my children or any other children. You have no idea what will happen to us.” Joe added, “They are taking some of my property for the company. Who’s to say Coopers won’t go bankrupt and have others come in. It ain’t right.” Contact Darke County Media Staff Writer Linda Moody at lmoody@ aimmediamidwest.com or 937569-4315, ext. 1749. Read more news, features and sports at DarkeCountyMedia.com.
Construction must be reported able 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. For additional information, contact the Darke County Auditor’s Office, in the Courthouse, at (937) 547-7316 or 547-7317. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except holidays.

The seniors who meet at the VFW in Greenville on Monday afternoons never have a dull moment, and always seem to enjoy themselves whenever Tom Everhart is around and he is most times, especially since he’s the deejay. I was asked to cover the dance this past Monday and it was a hippie event. When he wasn’t playing music, he was offering trivia, and he is one of the smartest guys around when it comes to music. Quite a number of people were wearing hippie clothing and accessories and dancing to the music from that era. It was definitely neato, cool, fab, groovy and everyone appeared to have a blast. ***** I hate to hear that Spectrum is closing its doors. What do we do now? A sign on the door said it was closing permanently on July 8, and gave a Piqua address I hate to see it leave town, and I absolutely hate to see Terri Hunt not there anymore. Hopefully, she will enjoy the move and I wish her well in the future. I generally go there to pay my bill, but guess I will now have to send it off now. And, what if we have problems with our equipment, do we have to travel to Piqua? No offense to anyone, but I hate to call a company when all I get is a machine. I am not that technically inclined any way. I just hope we have no more issues with Spectrum and that I don’t have to make a dreaded phone call. ***** I want to thank the people who are sponsoring karaoke. My son, Jamie, now has some more places to go. We just went to JC’s Coffee House on the Lighthouse Christian Center
Campus and I took him to another event at Sloopy’s, which I guess offers karaoke on Friday nights. By the way, JC’s Coffee House is planning another one on June 28. ***** Please pray for: Lindsey Purnhagen, Albert Duncan, Craig Wagner, Vanna Hannan, Danny Foster, Jamie Campbell, Cynthia Downey, Roger Tingley, Greg Comer, Frank Fullenkamp, Cheri Antrobus Davis, Haskel Howard, Guadalupe Self, Paul Brubaker, Kelly Van De Grift, Marilyn Shellabarger, Chuck Davis, Merlin “Bus” Booker, Randy Heck, Ron and Nancy Moody, Danny Brown, Neal Gray, Terri Hunt, Jack Hale, Jessi Klosterman, Marilyn Peterson, Dakota Miller, Jack Good, Mary Faller, Mary Ullery, Wayne Neal, Martha Higgins, Scott Clark, Duke Temple, Paulette (Swab) Shields, Neil Isch, Larry Hummel, Phyllis Turner, Kerry Young, Dale Clark, Judi Peters, Linda Birt Schaffer, Herbert Bayman, Adam Ullery, Vicky Henderson, Don Hittle, Emily Moody, Roger McEowen, Becky Garrett-Ross, Darcy Buckingham, Crew Neaves, Jackson Stout, Katie Rehmert, Alayna Marie Brantley, Irma Stewart, Dawn Oldiges, Don Booker, Tracy Pratt, Jim Marker, Mason Osterloh, Kyndal Wynk, Ron Kreitzer, Stacy Dorko, Keith Starks, Kohen Thwaits, Jerrod Pratt, Al Bliss, Layna Best, Wanda and Joe Bailey, Shelly Hoffman, Pappy Harshman, Bob Hiestand Jr., Tina Kiser Deaton, Kody Ketring, Lois Hittle, Kevin Hemmerich, Samantha Smith and Ron Kramer. ***** Jamie and I send our condolences to the families of: Josh Badell, Kenny Delk, Betty Foureman, Dale Beam, Mary Louise Oswalt, Larry Badger, Theora Rismiller, Betty Eaton, Bob Byrum, Bill Schellenbarg, Bernettia Kester.

Greenville pounded out 11 hits with Shinabery going 3-3 including a double while Lawson was 2-2 with a double and Young going 2-2. “The kids hit really well in that one,” said Henry.
The third game for Post 140 had Kenny Moore using just 76 pitches to record a complete game four-hit shutout over Moundsville, W.Va.

Greenville American Legion Post 140 shortstop, Tyler Beyke hits for the local Thunder baseball team.
214 4-3 in the team’s third Saturday game. “That Garrett County, Maryland is one of the better teams there every year,” Coach Henry stated. “When we went in they told us South Charleston, (W.Va.) was going to be good and Garrett County was going to be good - and they were.” Post 140 took advantage of a double off the bat of Beyke, a Collins run scoring double followed by a Jones single. Shinabery knocked a RBI single to make it a 2-0 lead followed by a Young RBI base hit for a 3-0 score. “We went out and scratched another one out,” Henry said. “We came out hitting bombs and I was like, ‘balls flying tonight,’ and then silence – nothing happened. We took a 3-0 lead right in the beginning of the
game and then didn’t score until an insurance run in the sixth.” Tyler Beyke earned the win for Post 140 with Collins picking up the save. Longfellow hit an RBI single in the bottom of the sixth in what proved to be the winning run for Post 140. Greenville tallied nine hits in the game led by Beyke with a single and a double and Casey Jones with two singles. Greenville completed the Hillbilly Hardball Classic with a respectable 3-1-1 record competing against some of the country’s best American Legion teams.

Edison State grant funding supports student success PIQUA — In 2018, Edison State Community College received $91,000 in short-term technical certificate grant funding from the State of Ohio. Due to increased visibility and the importance of the program, the Ohio Department of Higher Education awarded an additional $50,000 through the partnership grant, Finish for Your Future. It is with these funds that Edison State has found success in supporting student access and affordability. The grant funding is available to students with demonstrated financial need who are pursuing a short-term technical certificate, which requires less than 30-credit hours and does not qualify for FAFSA or Pell Grant funding. During a recent Ohio Department of Education site visit, it was announced that Edison State is the highest grantor of funding from this program through-
out the State, with the nearest competitor awarding 17-percent less. “The system our team created was not only lauded by the Ohio Department of Higher Education, but used as a model for all colleges in Ohio at their April conference on short-term technical certificates,” said Dr. Tony Human, Dean of Professional and Technical Programs at Edison State. Students who have applied for and been accepted into the grant funding program are informed via congratulatory letters. The letter outlines how much grant money has been applied to current courses and how much balance remains to cover future courses. “We track a student’s progress through the certificate program and award funds as needed to cover approved expenses over several classes rather than just awarding a partial grant. This allows students
to use the entire $1,000 spread-out over several classes in the certificate, rather than paying for a single class and not using the remaining money for future classes,” said Human. The short-term technical grant funding is available for a period of three years to which the college estimates supporting a total of 16 students per year. To date, Edison State has processed 13 applications and awarded nine grants in excess of $5,000 for the spring semester. An additional $9,000 is the projected amount to be awarded for spring late and summer semesters. All short-term technical certificates at Edison State are industry recognized and prepare students to enter high-demand job fields. Students may apply to receive grant funding at any time.

STAR 88.3 gives love VERSAILLES – Tyler and Lindsey Schlarman love their growing family. They’re a hardworking family from Versailles who know what it means to pick up the pieces and find a way to adjust to a new normal. Two years ago, they brought home baby Joshua with serious health complications. Through everything the family has been through, Tyler has been a rock-solid, wonderful father. This Father’s Day, he got a surprise. STAR 88.3, our 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. For Father’s Day, they again accepted nominations from the community for someone they’d like to surprise. Usually, it’s someone who is
going through a hard time or is an inspiration in some way. Tyler’s wife, Lindsey, nominated him. “Two years ago, our third child was born with many problems, like seizures, inability to swallow, and extremely weak muscles,” Lindsey told STAR 88.3. “It has made the last two years extremely hard for us with many lows. I would love to brighten Tyler’s day in any way possible.” STAR 88.3 community representative Naomi Cantrell reached out to Pastor Quentin Elsea at Christ Chapel, where the Schlarman family goes to church. The pastor had many good things to say about Tyler, even saying that baby Joshua’s nurses have been impressed with how good Tyler is with him. “It is an absolute honor to surprise someone like Tyler,” said Cantrell. “Tyler has been an amazing husband and father to all his kids through the last two years.
He inspires so many people! This is the kind of thing we love to do – to surprise a person who continues to give selflessly of himself day in and day out and let him know he is seen and appreciated.” Local businesses contributed to Tyler’s surprise. Special thanks go to Greenville National Bank and The House That Lulu Built for their financial support. Tyler and his family got a gift card to Olive Garden, passes to the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo, concert tickets to the Mercer County Fair’s Christian concert this summer, and more. Cantrell surprised Tyler at his church on Father’s Day. STAR 88.3 will be accepting nominations again, and they find many other ways to Give Love all year. Listen to STAR 88.3 at 88.9 in this area and let them know of someone you would like to nominate at www.star883. com.

Also approved Thursday was Clayton Westerbeck as the new high school assistant principal. Westerbeck will be replacing David Torrence, who resigned last month to take a position with another district. Westerbeck comes to Greenville from Sidney City Schools, where he was an assistant principal at the high school. In April, Westerbeck, along with two other administrators, was reassigned by the Sidney superintendent for the upcoming school year. According to a news article published by the Sidney Daily News on April 26, Westerbeck was being reassigned to be a teacher in the Sidney Alternative School.

The newspaper reported the reassignment was the result three Sidney school administrators failing to complete teacher evaluations. The Sidney superintendent told the Sidney Daily News that “timelines were not followed” and “certain parts of the evaluation(s) were not done.” Prior to Thursday’s Greenville Board of Education meeting, Fries told The Early Bird he was aware of
Westerbeck’s history with Sidney City Schools. “We are aware and checked all references,” Fries said, noting the confidence he has in the new assistant principal’s abilities to serve GHS. The board approved a two-year administrative contract with Westerbeck, at $76,000 per year. Reach Managing Editor Susan Hartley via email at shartley@ aimmediamidwest.com

I think it’s time for a change.” Snyder also told the board he’d heard Joseph’s contract was being approved with “contingencies” being placed upon the coach. “Can we know what those things (contingencies) are?” Snyder asked. Both Fries and board president Brad Gettinger told Snyder there were “no contingencies” although there were always “goals” set for employee performance. Stanley echoed Snyder’s concerns. “We’ve got to make some changes in basketball,” he said. “The longer we wait the worse it’s going to get.” Stanley also brought up RYAN the financial angle of high BERRY EDITOR school sports, pointing out DarkeCountyMedia.com the district may start to “feel it fiSUSAN nancially.

city, including one developer who chose to put the funds in escrow and let the city do the work. Geoff Surber, one of the property owners, spoke in favor of the project and echoed Henry’s comments. “It allows the smaller players to come in and build something,” he said. Other property owners questioned their assessments and how the cost was figured. Matt Hoying, project manager for Choice One Engineering, explained the cost was determined by acreage, linear feet along the roadway and entrances into the property. The assessment would cover the cost of the road expansion, installation of utilities and curbs and gutters. Hoying stressed the city’s portion includes the cost of grading and asphalting the current road as well as the road expansion, curbs, sidewalks and utilities at their property (detention pond). It is now up to council to determine if they want to proceed with a Resolution of Necessity to allow for the assessment. They must also decide if they want to go with the proposed 20-year assessment or give property owners longer to pay. The city is expected to receive the loan documents by the beginning of July. Garrison believes the project could be put out for bid by fall and work could begin early next year. Contact Editor Ryan Berry at rberry@aimmediamidwest.com or (937) 569-0066.

Concert hopes to raise funds
VERSAILLES – Versailles Towne and Country Players’ annual Summer Entertainment Series includes many opportunities to enjoy good music, but when Cincinnatibased band Boo Radley takes the stage for their performances on Versailles’ inviting Main Street Fountain Square on Saturday, July 6, they will also challenge their audience the help raise funds to find a cure for pancreatic cancer. Boo Radley, consisting of lead vocalists Mark Hamilton and Stacy Jordan, plus Chris Mulvaney and Mark Roden on guitar, drummer Jerry Cline, and John Kellington playing bass, has been on the scene for over 10 years, playing at high-profile venues in the Cincinnati area and beyond. Now, lead guitarist Chris Mulvaney, a 1981 Versailles High School graduate, has
established a partnership with the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network to host a fundraising campaign combating the disease which took the lives of both his father and mother, longtime Versailles residents Jerry and Jane Mulvaney. Chris and his sisters Erin Marshall, Elizabeth Alexander, Teri Shuler, and Deb Gallagher are hoping to involve the greater community in this drive, and have enlisted the support of other families who have been impacted by pancreatic cancer, including Chris’s classmates Brenda Bohman Rice who lost her father Fred to the feared disease, and Mike Prakel, who in honor of another victim, his father Stewart has issued a special challenge to the VHS Class of 1981, to make contributions which anonymous
donors will match up to $500, achieving a significant first step in reaching the campaign’s goal of $2500. Also the families of Scott Shappie, VHS Class of 1978, and Vaughn Wakefield are participating in this effort to fight the scourge which has disastrously affected so many community members. “We are banding together to raise money for a great cause, and hope to see you on the square in Versailles on July 6; you will be supporting efforts to double survival for this deadly disease by 2020,” explained Mr. Mulvaney. Donations to this campaign against pancreatic cancer can be made by visiting the Boo Radley for Pancreatic Cancer Research page on the support.pancan. org. Contributions can also be made at the concert.

Wayne Lakes Beach is open for summer GREENVILLE – Wayne Lakes Beach will be open for the remainder of summer. The lake beach in Wayne Lakes provides a unique experience in Darke County. Located on Algonquin Lake, one of 18 lakes in the small community, Wayne Lakes Beach offers a complete day-at-thebeach experience - weather permitting. With the longlasting rainy weather this year, the beach has had to be closed more than this year’s new management had intended. The Village of Wayne Lakes is managing the Swim Beach part of the operation and the Friends of Wayne Lakes (FoWL), a local non-profit organization, is managing the Beach Concessions. “FoWL agreed to manage the concessions, in part to save the Village the operating costs for that. Since the beach was closed last year, we wanted to try a different management approach to have it open again this year,” said Denise Wetzel, mayor of Wayne Lakes. “Having FoWL manage the concessions, being open only on weekends for only 12 weeks and charging the $4 entry fee were part of the plan to determine if just the swimming part of the beach could be operated without significant loss. Results this year will impact plans for opening next year.” FoWL rented the concessions building with the intention to serve prepared foods, utilizing the concessions kitchen that was remodeled prior to 2018
for that purpose. However, end, the beach will also be Be sure to check the Wayne (with the sun and palm tree related, beach-open inforapproval from the Darke open on Thursday, July 4. Lakes Beach Facebook page logo) for updated weather- mation. County Health Department to do so is still pending. “When we started this year, we weren’t aware of a concern for the septic system that apparently is related to serving prepared foods,” said Wetzel. “Now we’re trying to understand exactly what is needed and the associated costs, so Council has enough information to decide if the upgrade that may be needed is something that can be considered for this year.” The Beach Concessions continues to offer pre-packaged snacks, ice cream products and drinks. Even though prepared food is not being offered, outside food or drinks will not be permitted, so visitors should plan accordingly. “One goal for this year is to limit activities in the parking area that in the past had been concerning, even requiring sheriff interventions. That’s the reason for basically a no re-entry policy; when visitors leave through the beach gate they’re expected to leave the parking area, no loitering,” Wetzel explained. “We want families, and everyone, to be able to come and enjoy the beach, and for the beach to be a good neighbor to those who live nearby.” Wayne Lakes Beach is open noon until 6 p.m. For more questions, call Sarah Depoy, Assistant Camp Director on Fridays, Saturdays and at 937-548-2999 or go to www.stateoftheheartcare.com Sundays for the rest of the summer - weather permitting - until the last day open on Sunday, Aug. 11.

Discover the Milkweed plant GREENVILLE – Perhaps there is no more easily recognized iconic beauty as the Monarch butterfly. The large striking orange and black insect was once a familiar sight on warm summer days throughout the Midwest. Due to habitat loss and other factors, Monarch butterfly numbers have declined drastically over the past 20 years. In response, a global campaign to save this butterfly from extinction has ensued. Organizations have developed partnerships in 3 countries, including Canada, the United States and Mexico, in a combined effort to preserve and create habitat. One key

component to increasing the Monarch’s population is milkweed. Without milkweed, the butterfly will not survive. It is the only plant on which a female Monarch will lay her eggs. Within a few days, the egg hatches into a hungry caterpillar that will devour its host plant in less than three weeks. The chemical compounds found in milkweed not only make the Monarch distasteful, they actually become poisonous to predators looking for an easy meal. The Monarch and milkweed symbiotic relationship is something
to marvel. Further investigation into the milkweed community reveals an entire ecosystem of dependent organisms. From dragonflies to beetles, the milkweed plant attracts an enormous variety of beneficial insects. Darke County Parks invites you to take a closer look at the milkweed community on Saturday, June 29 at 2 p.m. at Shawnee Prairie Preserve. For more information about this or any other Darke County Park program, contact them at 937-548-0165 or info@darkecountyparks. org.
