THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF THE GREAT DARKE COUNTY FAIR!

Commission approves contract to trim Spirit Medical’s billable hours SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – A recorded message for those calling Darke County Job and Family Services states that beginning July 8, residents needing transportation to doctor appointments or pharmacy runs must call one of the three transportation providers directly. This is just one change Darke County Job and Family Services (DCJFS) will be implementing this summer. At two separate Darke County Commission meetings – July 18 and July 23 – commissioners approved transportation rates for Greenville Transit, Com-

munity Action Partnership (CAP) and Spirit Medical with DCJFS. As part of the newly approved contract with Spirit Medical, commissioners also approved the transport company’s billable hours with DCJFS to be from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday with no weekend, evening or federal holiday hours. The contracts between all three transportation services and DCJFS are approved yearly by the county commissioners. According to Gracie Overholser, director of DCJFS, the cut in Spirit Medical’s hours is an effort to cut costs. “There was an increase requested by Spirit for government holidays,”

she said. “This was for non-emergent care. Because there was a request for an increase in cost – a rather large increase – I questioned why such an increase” to transport on federal holidays. “Most doctors’ ofﬁces aren’t open during these hours.” The change in hours, Overholser said, moves Spirit Medical Transport to meet Greenville Transit’s and CAP’s standard hours to transport individuals to doctor appointments or to pick up their prescriptions. Patrons also use local medical transportation for what Overholser calls “lifesustaining” appointments, such as dialysis, chemotherapy or radiation treatments. “These are life-sustaining issues and are separate issues from cutting regular doctor/pharmacy appointment runs,” she said. Overholser said she may refer patients with Saturday life-sustaining schedules – such as dialysis – to Greenville Transit, which

does have limited Saturday morning hours. If Spirit Medical does resume Saturday hours, Overholser said “they won’t be billing Job and Family Services if they do.” Brian Hathaway, president and CEO of Spirit Medical, said he mailed out 718 letters notifying clients who rely on his company for medical transportation needs. After the letters were received, clients began calling DCJFS for answers, Overholser said. The letter also prompted Overholser and Hathaway to reconsider the contract, and according to Hathaway, some “addendum language” will be added to allow Spirit to continue transporting clients to lifesustaining appointments after the approved hours. Although these appointments will be met, Hathaway said, it will be “with no additional reimbursement” from Job and Family Services. “There’s still a cost to

provide services to pay overtime for staff” to come in for those hours, he said. “There’s a cost of doing business that we’re going to have to continue to evaluate. Near and dear to my heart is doing what’s right for Darke County.” Hathaway also said Spirit may be forced to use on-duty ambulance staff to meet off-hours life-sustaining appointments – which may put a load on emergency runs. Hathaway said the list of those needing transportation “has grown immense-

ly” as the county’s poverty level continues to rise. According to Hathaway’s letter sent recently to clients, during 2017, Spirit Medical billed Job and Family Services for 4,554 one-way trips. Of this number, 713 occurred on a federal holiday, a weekend or had a pick-up time between 5 p.m. and 7 a.m. The letter also states the number of trips for 2018 is “turning out to be much the same.” To read Hathaway’s comments, visit www.bluebagmedia.com.

Workers are strapped in as they work to secure the blades to the One Energy Enterprises and Whirlpool wind turbine.

Blades attached to Whirlpool’s turbine GREENVILLE – Last fall, Whirlpool Corporation announced plans for three wind turbines to power its manufacturing facility in Greenville, and this summer that plan has been coming to fruition. The first two of three planned turbines have been erected and blades on the first turbine were attached on Wednesday. Once completed, the Greenville Whirlpool plant expects to generate more than 12 million kWh annually and offset approximately 70 percent of the plant’s electricity consumption. By investing in on-site wind energy, the plant expects to eliminate more than 9,000 annual tons of CO2. This is equivalent to generating enough clean energy to power more than 900 average American homes. Similar to previous wind turbine projects, all three turbines will be built and financed by One Energy Enterprises as part of its Wind for Industry® projects. The Greenville plant is the latest Ohio facility where Whirlpool Corporation is implementing wind energy to

partially power its manufacturing operations, following installation of wind turbines at facilities in Findlay, Marion, and Ottawa. The completion of these additional wind farms will potentially make Whirlpool Corporation one of the largest users of on-site wind energy of any Fortune 500 company in the United States. Greenville Operations manufactures stand mixers, stand mixer attachments and accessories, hand mixers, blenders, aerated beverage machines and cutlery blocks under the KitchenAid brand. In addition to the wind turbines and as part of its continued commitment to the community surrounding the Greenville plant, Whirlpool Corporation will also create three $5,000 Megawatt Scholarships (one per turbine, for a total of $15,000 annually). These will be awarded annually for every year the turbines are in operation. The Megawatt Scholarships will be awarded annually to local high school graduates pursuing a two-year or four-year STEM degree.

GREENVILLE–Morgan Hissong will carry on the family tradition for some of the females in the Linebaugh family. She won the Miss Annie Oakley Shooting Contest at the ﬁnals Thursday night at the Darke County Fairgrounds. She is the fourth member of the family to have won the title, and she was part of the ﬁrst-ever mother-daughter team that won. Her mother, Annie (Linebaugh) Hissong, was named in 1992, while Annie’s sister, Jenny (Linebaugh) Schneider, won it in 1988. Then, Morgan’s cousin, Hannah (Linebaugh) Weist, served as Miss Annie Oakley in 2006. Most of those family members were shooting when they became old enough. Morgan will be a senior at Franklin Monroe High

School, and is active in 4-H, FFA and junior fair board as well as being a helper with the teen group at her church, Troy Baptist Temple. She was also a counselor at 4-H camp. Morgan, who competed in the shooting competition for the fourth time, said her practice for the shooting competition this year was limited, but indicated she focused more on shooting up closer when she did practice. She was sponsored by M and Z Livestock, Linebaugh Family Threshing Crew and Keller Grain & Feed. When she graduates, she wants to go into something agriculture-related. First runner-up, 14-yearold Paige Brewer of Versailles, did not have a miss during the preliminaries or the ﬁnals, until she reached the 90-foot mark from the balloon target. She will be a freshman at Versailles. According to her mother, Tracy Brewer, Paige’s step

grandmother, Sue Brewer, gave her a BB gun when she was 8-years-old and wanted her to compete. Her step grandmother died three years ago of a brain tumor, and Paige wanted to do this in her honor. She is hoping to return next year and compete again. Her sponsor was Stairways to Wellness. The second runner-up was determined when Johnna Siegrist, 15, and Carrie Rhoades, 14, both missed

the targets at the 70-foot line. They went on to shoot three more times each until Siegrist out-shot Rhoades. Siegrist was sponsored by Fort Greenville Muzzle Loaders and Rhoades by Grade A Kids 4-H. The ﬁrst girl eliminated from the contest was Kailey Fourman, 15, at the 55-foot line, and the second was Hope Schaaf, 16, sponsored by Dale and Anna Lee Dickerson, at 65 feet away from target.

Schaaf wins Oakley costume contest LINDA MOODY

CORRESPONDENT

GREENVILLE – One of the highlights of the Miss Annie Oakley Shooting Contest preliminaries is the costume judging. This year it went to Hope Schaaf, 16-year-old daughter to Raymond and Teresa Schaaf. The Greenville High School student said she and her mother came up with the idea for her costume, which mostly consisted of items they pur-

chased at Goodwill. “Annie wore lots of medals, a star on her hat, a little scarf with a pendant and some spats with her boots,” Hope said. “Annie had her hair down and wore gloves.” In explaining the plaid sash she wore around the waistline, she indicated that Annie Oakley came back from Great Britain wearing a plaid sash. “We bought all of this from Goodwill, except for the pendant which we found at Cato’s,” said Hope’s mother.

Last year, Hope was a runner-up in the shooting contest. Then she wore a costume her grandmother, Anna Lee Dickerson, had made, but did not place in that part of the competition. With Hope at the contest Wednesday night were her parents; grandparents and sponsors, Anna Lee and Dale Dickerson, and an aunt, Barbara Imes. A junior, Hope will be going to Edison State College as well as Greenville High School and majoring in criminology.

Hope Schaaf displays the items she received for winning the Miss Annie Oakley costume contest.

She received a plaque, sash and corsage for winning.

Employee ďŹ nds evidence of cocaine while cleaning motel room DRUGS

On July 23 an ofďŹ cer was called to Holiday Inn Express on Russ Road when an employee reported ďŹ nding a baggie containing a white powder inside one of the guest rooms. The employee told the ofďŹ cer the names of two people who stayed in the room and also told the ofďŹ cer several people had been in and out of the room over the past two days. The ofďŹ cer took the baggie to the police department, where it tested positive for cocaine. The ofďŹ cer attempted to

contact the male individual who rented the room, but was unable to do so at that time. On July 15 an ofďŹ cer made contact with Marissa Marburger during a trafďŹ c stop in a parking lot in the 1000 block of Sweitzer Street. During the stop the ofďŹ cer asked Marburger if there was anything illegal inside the vehicle. She admitted to possessing two separate sandwich size baggies of marijuana and said she concealed one bag in her driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat cushion and gave the bag to her passenger to conceal. The passenger told the ofďŹ cer he concealed the second bag under a pizza box in the rear seat, which he could reach. Both baggies were recovered and Marburger admitted both bags of marijuana were hers. She was issued a citation and released. The marijuana was packaged and stored in property as

evidence.

DUI

On July 25 an ofďŹ cer observed a vehicle in the 1300 block of East Main Street unable to stay inside its lane of travel, crossing over the center line. The ofďŹ cer had noticed the same vehicle east bound on East Fourth Street in the middle of the road a few minutes earlier. A trafďŹ c stop was made and the defendant Kirk Affolder was conďŹ rmed to be the operator of the vehicle. Affolder told the ofďŹ cer he had been at Dannyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bar playing pool. He denied drinking any alcohol. The ofďŹ cer noticed Affolder had slurred speech and his eyes were bloodshot. According to the police report, the defendantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reaction was slow and he seemed to have to concentrate hard to look for his driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license in his wallet. When the ofďŹ cer asked Affolder to step outside the vehicle he had trouble keeping balance and following instructions on ďŹ eld sobriety tests. He was arrested for operating under the inďŹ&#x201A;uence and was transported to the Greenville Police Department, where he admitted to ofďŹ cers he did have at least one alcoholic beverage at the bar. Affolder was also asked to submit to a breath test and consented. He also submitted to a urine specimen sample. AďŹ&#x20AC;older was cited for operating under the inďŹ&#x201A;uence and lanes of travel. The urine sample will be sent to the Miami Valley crime lab to conďŹ rm the defendantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BAC level at the time of the test. AďŹ&#x20AC;older was released to his wife. After he was released, the ofďŹ cer located a $10 bill in the rear seat of his cruiser that had fallen on top of a container. He later returned the $10 to Affolder. WANTED PERSON

On July 18 an ofďŹ cer was dispatched to the Greenville Police Department

concerning an individual with a warrant. Upon arrival the ofďŹ cer made contact with Michael Bunger to obtain a statement from Bunger about a separate incident. While Bunger ďŹ lled out a statement the ofďŹ cer requested dispatch run his Social Security number and it was found Bunger had an active warrant for his arrest for DUS, for which he must serve 14 days. Bunger was placed under arrest and transported to Darke County Jail, where he was incarcerated. On July 19 ofďŹ cers responded to the 1200 block of Adrien Avenue on the report of a prowler. When they arrived, ofďŹ cers saw a male suspect standing in a yard. They made contact with the subject, who identiďŹ ed himself as Matthew Cain. Cain said he was looking for his grandmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house and had forgotten which one she was living in. The ofďŹ cers asked for his ID and dispatch was asked to run his information through LEADS/NCIC. It was found that Cain had a warrant from Darke County for aggravated possession of drugs. He was placed under arrest and transported to the Darke County Jail, where he was incarcerated with no bond. On July 23 an ofďŹ cer was dispatched to the 400 block of Harrison Avenue in Greenville in reference to a wanted person. The DCSO received an anonymous tip that Paul Deal was in this residence. The ofďŹ cer observed the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resident exiting the house and getting into a vehicle. She told the ofďŹ cer â&#x20AC;&#x153;heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in there and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m scared of him.â&#x20AC;? The resident proceeded to drive away from the scene.

Greenville Federal Green Monster gives city new landmark BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville’s new “landmark” was completed in time for the weekend’s Annie Oakley boys baseball tournament thanks to the generous donation of Greenville Federal. “It’s exciting to finally get this project wrapped up,” said Greenville Citizens Baseball League (GCBL) president Ryan Delk. “Thanks to Greenville Federal, we have the wall completed.” Billed as the “Greenville Federal Green Monster,” the new Greenville landmark makes it possible to utilize the field next to Ohio Street for GHS junior varsity baseball games as well as GCBL tournaments for 13U and 14U games. With Ohio Street too close to the outfield in left, the organization had to come up with a design that would keep deep drives from hitting vehicles driving by on Ohio Street. “People are always talking about it,” Delk said. “’How tall is it, and how big is it, that’s the coolest thing,’ so it’s a very exciting piece of the ballpark that adds just one more element to an already great facility.” “The Green Monster measures 95 foot long and 20 foot high,” noted Delk. “Chad Henry did some math and it’s comparable to 300 foot in left with the wall.” “We didn’t have room to move the fence back because of the road and the right-a-way,” added Delk. “We were con-

cerned there would be a lot of balls hit into the street and hit cars driving by. To be on the side of safety we wanted something eunique, so we have moved the fences back to 300 feet in center, 265 to right and left is 235 feet.” “We (GCBLE Board and volunteers) put in a lot of hard work, but the community; you look around and you see the signs, you have Greenville Federal, you have Greenville National, Second National, Treaty City Industries, GTI and grants,” Delk said. “A lot of small businesses do the smaller signs, people help us out.” “Anything we can do to make the ballpark better, that’s what we do all winter long,” continued Delk. “We try to come up with projects, get them funded. We are always asking for financial support and the community has always been behind us and helped out in any way that they can – it just makes it even that much better.” The weekend Annie Oakley tournament saw the first home run hit over the new Greenville Federal Green Monster. “I didn’t see it, but a guy come up to me and said one of his kids (Orange Crush) hit it over, so that’s the first home run over that wall – 13U so that’s exciting,” concluded Delk. “He was all pumped up. He come up to me and said, ‘that’s the coolest wall.’ His son hit a homerun over it so that was neat. For a 13 year old kid, that’s a poke.”

Food trucks return to park GREENVILLE – The next “Food Truck Rally in the Park” will be on Sunday, Aug. 5.

year veteran of RC racing was recently in town competing at the local Bullring RC track. “I enjoy racing for two or three reasons,” noted Moore. “No. 1, a lot of good friends, good people to race with, good time, like a challenge and like to make something work better continuously.” The RC racing sport is popular with young and old and has a strong presence in neighboring Indiana. “There are more tracks than you think,” said Shafer, “so I just tried to do something local. We’ve been pretty much all over Indiana.” Loko Speedway and Left Turn Raceway; two tracks frequented by Shafer and Moore are located in and near Muncie, Indiana. “It’s a lot of fun, it’s good for fathers and sons, fathers and daughters, mothers, families and grandparents,” Moore said of the sport. “My son races, my grandsons both race.” “It’s educational,” added Moore. “It teaches them a little bit about mechanics, about electronics and use it also for discipline – how to race, how not to lose your temper if you lose 425 Memorial Dr. Greenville, OH 45331

and how to be a good loser and a good winner. You can do it for multiple purposes of education.” Moore was racing his battery operated RC car measuring 13 inches in width and 25 inches long on the Greenville track. “We clocked one on our dirt track at 38 MPH,” Moore stated. “That was a 1/10th scale car so in essence it’s going 380 MPH.” RC racing is an affordable hobby according to Shafer and Moore. “Like anything, you can spend as little or as much as you want,” said Shaffer. “Come in and talk to us and we’ll point you in the right direction as to what car they you need to get started.” “There are several ways you can do it,” Moore said. “You can buy what’s called a ready

art teacher Julie Brewer. Art Week teachers got together, Brewer said, this past school year to “brainstorm a theme and ideas.” The nearly 70 participants eagerly gathered each day to work on their Legend projects, including clay wizards and dragon eyes, metal tooling crests, weaving dragon eyes out of yarn, papier mache swords, dragons, shields and crowns. Another popular project was batik – creating designs on fabric with wax, then dyeing the fabric. Not only did the artists create batik, they learned the legend behind the art form – which started with the Miao people of northern China. Ryan Hocker, 11, who will be in fifth grade at Bradford this year, said this was his first year attending Art Week. Hocker’s batik flower, he said, will be framed and may end up as a gift for someone in his family. Hocker said he “liked everything” about Art Camp. As the students arrived each day they were

given about 15 minutes of free drawing time. On Wednesday, participants were instructed to draw mystical characters. “We have to draw a friend as a mystical character and ourselves as a mystical character,” explained Reagan Flora, 9, a soon-to-be fourth-grader at Franklin Monroe. A group of junior high students spent part of their Wednesday morning working on their papier mache projects, including Kameryn Stark, who will be in eighth grade this year at Greenville. Stark, 14, opted to create a sword after she saw several students making dragons. “I thought to myself ‘I’m just going to make a sword to slay all these dragons,’” Stark said with a touch of humor. Besides bringing out students’ creativity, Art Week also brings friends back together. Homeschooler Gwen Swan, 13, of Gettysburg and Victoria Cave, 14, of Arcanum, are old Art Week friends. The two said they were enjoying the papier mache

ON YOUR MIND Commissioners approve striping bid for Wagner Center

BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com DARKE COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; County Commissioners on Wednesday accepted a quote of $4,000 from Western Ohio Asphalt Sealing to complete work at the Wagner Avenue Government Center. The sealing company will complete striping and trafďŹ c ďŹ&#x201A;ow markings in the parking lot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2017, they did crack sealing and did a very good

job,â&#x20AC;? said John Cook, facility and safety manager of the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parking lot. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been about four years since striping work was last done on the lot, Cook said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite extensive,â&#x20AC;? he said of the project, which should be completed within a month. Western Ohio Asphalt Sealing is located in Versailles and has agreed to work evenings and weekends if necessary, Cook added.

State Representative Stephen Huffman and State Senator Bill Beagle presented Randy and Lisa Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell with commendations from the statehouse in honor of JAFE Decoratingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 40th anniversary.

JAFE celebrates 40th anniversary BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; There was a steady stream of visitors during JAFE Decoratingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 40th anniversary celebration and open house on Friday. From community members to local leaders and local and state politicians, each congratulated Randy Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell and his wife Lisa on the success of the company. JAFE is one of Darke Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hidden treasures and tends to go under the radar when talk turns to local manufacturers. However, this business would not have been where it is today without its founder, Lloyd Williams, and his initial vision. Although Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell has been with business for approximately 20 years, he has owned it for eight years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lloyd was a father/mentor ďŹ gure to me for me for almost 20 years and something that we wanted to do was keep the tradition of a familyowned business going,â&#x20AC;? said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell. The company originally painted glass for Corning when it was in Greenville, but with its closure, JAFE had to re-invent itself. According to Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell, it has done that three times since he joined the company. The day Corning closed its doors; JAFEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 57-employee workforce was cut in half. Today, JAFE is making a name for itself in the candle, ďŹ&#x201A;oral and lighting markets. While they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the glass, they have a staff of 90 people involved in decorating the glass. They color the glass holders used for candles for companies like Bath & Body Works, Pier 1 and Walmart. Approximately 2 million candle glass pieces ďŹ&#x201A;ow through the produc-

tion lines each year. The company also decorates vases/glass for the ďŹ&#x201A;oral markets and light bulbs for companies like Sylvania and Walmart. Ten years ago, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell and his team had a goal have doubling their workforce and production in ďŹ ve years. They reached that goal in four. They have since tripled that original goal. All of their production lines are currently working 24-hours a day, seven days a week. Now they want to double it again, but it may take another expansion to do it as they are out of space and have no place to add another production line. JAFE started on Sater Street and evolved into their current building in 1991. An expansion was ďŹ nished seven years later. In 2015, the company added an addition 14,000 sq. ft. along with a new line. In 2017, the company again added a new line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking at how we can get more capacity, whether thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s through our current equipment, but more realistically buying another building to support equipment. Obviously that requires a large capital investment,â&#x20AC;? said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell does not take credit for the success of the company, but lays it at the feet of his employees, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our success goes 100 percent to our people. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the driving force behind our business. Quality has really driven our growth.â&#x20AC;? He continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ten years ago it was a push to get our name and our brand out in the market place. But that all goes back to our people. Our people put out the highest quality product in the marketplace and that drives our growth.â&#x20AC;?

We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see them when they are home

I often share with my kids how I am looking forward to the day they ďŹ nally move out and no longer need my support. I think my wife and I did (and still are doing) a pretty good job of raising them to be productive members of society and to have some common sense. Whether or not college will destroy 18 years of our teaching is yet to be seen, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got our ďŹ ngers crossed. However, after this past week Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not as anxious to let them go. My wife and I were given a chance to be empty nesters and I learned something new. We are extremely boring without our kids. With my oldest daughter staying at college this summer and my youngest daughter off to church camp, we had the whole

of lot cheaper than sending them to college. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned this week that we were completely wrong in teaching our kids lessons that will ultimately make them selfsufďŹ cient. My wife always told them when they were slacking-off or didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to give something their full effort, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want you to be better than me.â&#x20AC;? After this week, she has decided that is crappy advice and she would rather they live with us forever. I, on the other hand, am okay if they come to visit a couple times a week. In between her tears, I did convince her to go to Kings Island with me one evening. About an hour after we got there, we left because I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a riding buddy. When we got back to the empty house, the tears returned. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been told that over time it will get better and may even get easier for her. I did see one little thing that gives me hope that she will be able to move past

this. My wife hates when the dogs snuggle up next to her. She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that I noticed, but at one point last week, both of are Chihuahuas were snuggled up next to her leg. Normally, she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the dogs near her. Maybe, just maybe Annie and Oakley (yes, our Chihuahuas are named Annie and Oakley â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we do live in Darke County, duh), can help heal her broken heart. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still not sure what the big deal is about the kids not being home. When they are home we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to see them. They are off doing their own thing or holed up in their rooms and only come out for food. Maybe Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just record their voices and every now and then play their greatest hits from an upstairs speaker â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to talk about it,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be down in a minute,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;WHAT!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear you tell me to do that,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Leave me alone,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m busy.â&#x20AC;? That should make her feel like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still home.

week to ourselves. We could go anywhere we wanted. We could eat any place wanted. What did we do? Sat on our couches, binged watch TV, played games and looked at social media on our phones and occasionally looked at each other. I hesitated to look at her because when I did I would hear, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I miss them.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d look over a little later and there would be tears in her eyes. A few minutes later Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d look at her only to hear, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish they were here.â&#x20AC;? As it got later in the evening I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have to look her way to hear her sigh and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hate this.â&#x20AC;? Okay, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a mom and I will admit I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t completely understand her feelings and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m probably a jerk. Oh sure, I miss them when they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t with us, but I thought our purpose for raising them was so they could be independent, successful and not in jail.

Franklin Monroe Jets boys basketball camp hosts 45 campers GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

PITSBURG – The Franklin Monroe Jets basketball program held a three-day boys youth camp under the direction of head coach Troy Myers with 45 campers in attendance from grades three through eight. “It’s a lot of fun when you put the right people in the right positions and you give them some freedom to just do what we do,” said Myers. “It’s amazing what they’ll do for kids when they’re teaching them. We see that a lot with our own guys.” FM assistant coaches Brad Wackler and Martin Maksvytis were instrumen-

tal in making the camp a success along with many former and current Jets players. “The younger kids look up to these guys so much when they’re teaching them,” Myers said. “I felt like we got a lot of accomplishment out of our skill session but also I think we got a lot of enjoyment from the younger guys just being around them in a fun environment and it’s ultimately something we want to try and create.” “They are here to help,” continued Myers. “They don’t have to be here to help. Some of them took off work, some left early from work and went in early to work. Without them you can’t run a camp. It’s a great environ-

ment and they all did a fantastic job.” Coach Myers and his staff teach fundamental skills with an emphasis on building FM basketball core values. “There is a lot of sacriﬁce that comes with that,” Myers said of his emphasis on teaching high moral standards. “At the end of the day we’re supposed to win, so when you establish that and you create a foundation, at that point there is some sacriﬁce and it might come in respect of wins.” “What these kids are learning when they come in and then when they leave, they’re a different person when they walk out,” added Myers. “Ultimately that is

my responsibility. If these kids are in our program whether they are a third grader or a senior, we’re trying to make them a better man when they walk out the door.” The veteran coach is still enjoys coaching the Jets varsity boys basketball team while overseeing the program.

“I love it,” Myers said of coaching Jets basketball. “I’ve had some opportunities and this is not only home, but I know that what we are doing with these kids is genuine. There is no agenda other than we want to see them grow up as men, help them.” “Their parents do a fantastic job but they are here

for a certain amount of time that we can inﬂuence them,” added Myers. “I feel like it’s our responsibility to do it in the right way. It’s my passion, that’s why I am here, that’s why I am still here and as long as I can keep doing it and these kids are the way they are, I’m going to hopefully do it for a while.”

Greenville Legion Post 140 set for 2019 season tryouts BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Having just completed a successful 2018 Greenville American Legion Post 140 baseball season under ﬁrst year head coach Chad Henry, the organization is already looking ahead to the 2019 Legion baseball season with tryouts just around the corner. Post 140 will be hosting open tryouts for the 2019 season for interested players ages 15-19 on Sunday, July 29th from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and Sunday, August 5th also from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. “We played a little bit young this year but we played well,” Henry said of the 2018 season. “A lot of guys got a lot of experience.” Greenville Legion plays a 30-45 game schedule including 4-5 tournaments and conduct offseason workouts from late fall to spring focusing on fundamentals and player development. “We’re looking for the best of the best,” noted Coach Henry. “One thing we really concentrate on is character and commitment.” “This year we had times where we only had nine guys and partially that is on me,” continued Henry. “It was a little rough recruiting

this year but with the investment in our junior program we’re looking forward to having a really strong squad next year.” Post 140 coaching staff has experience at both the high school and collegiate level. “It’s a good situation,” Henry said. “We have some great coaches in place. We’re going to work with them all winter – we want to go out and really tear it up next year.” “The American Legion bases its program on values,

instilling good morals in young men and that’s why we are out there,” Henry stated. “We’re all playing a game but in the end, we are trying to build better people.” With an alumni base that includes more than half of current Major League Baseball players, American Legion Baseball is one of the most prominent and tradition-rich amateur athletic leagues in existence. About 4,000 teams compete each year, so there’s ample opportunity for new

GCBL Annie Oakley Baseball Tournament beats odds BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The weather slowed down the annual Annie Oakley baseball tournament but was unable to stop Greenville Citizens Baseball League (GCBL) event from being a weekend success thanks to the early morning hours of labor by GCBL board members. “Came down at 4:30 Saturday morning with full intentions of coming down and being too wet and not being able to have the tournament,” said GCBL commissioner Ryan Delk. “We started working the diamonds. Got a little rain late Saturday morning and got

through it. Got the games in and everything went well.” “The tournament has been a fantastic success,” said GCBL tournament director Keith Heidrich. “I would have never thought we would get the tournament in with the horrible weather Friday and Saturday morning.” After a Friday night washout, the GCBL board members elected to make an attempt in the early Saturday morning hours to get the tournament underway and back on schedule. “We had a lot of dedicated volunteer board members down here at 5 a.m. Saturday morning getting the diamonds ready,” Heidrich said. “We heard many great

Union City hosts 5th Annual Dylan Williams Memorial Invitational GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY, Ind. – The 5th annual Dylan Williams Memorial Invitational saw 22 teams compete in the weekend baseball tournament. The memorial tournament began in 2013 after the 8-year-old lost his life in a tragic all-star baseball practice accident that caused his heart to stop. Since that tragic day, the Dylan Williams Forever an All-Star Foundation has strived to ensure as many AEDs are on hand throughout area schools, sporting event ﬁelds/ballparks and public facilities to help save a life during a critical time of need. “It means a lot to see

what the memory, cherishing the memories of Dylan,” said Dylan’s mother Georgiana Williams. “The community around us supporting our cause and what our son meant to everybody.” “We said Dylan would never be forgotten and here we are ﬁve years and still honoring him and doing the tournaments, still having a good turnout and helping area youth baseball leagues with donating an AED to each winner,” said Dylan’s father, Erick Williams. “We are going to continue that again this year.” “All of the surrounding counties, Darke and Randolph Counties have AEDs at the schools,” noted Georgiana. “A lot of the local ball parks around here

as well have AEDs that we donated.” “We have 11 10U teams, six 8U and 5 12U teams,” said tournament director Scott Reagan. “Winners of the tournament age groups, 8U, 10 and 12 will each get a AED to give to their league,” Erick said. “If they have already won one donated from us, then they will get to choose where it goes.” The Dylan Williams Forever an All-Star Foundation donates not only the life-saving AED, but includes the AED carrycase, two batteries, storage case and wall signs with a value of $2,500. “We are giving three of those away (2018 tournament), all four years and now the ﬁfth year but that’s what this is about,”

They saw the importance of having an AED so they made sure one is available at their ballpark.” “We also push the CPR training and that you can take with you everywhere you go,” added Erick. “Most people think CPR training is incase an older person has… but it’s not.

Remembering Annie Oakley at gravesite BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

BROCK – Hannah (Linebaugh) Weist, the 2006 Miss Annie Oakley, organized this year’s Pilgrimage to Annie Oakley’s gravesite at Brock Cemetery on Thursday. She has been in charge of carrying on the longstanding tradition for several years. Although, she explained, there were a few years when the tradition had died out, she was determined to bring it back. For the past few years, when a new Miss Annie Oakley is named, a contingent of people travel north to the sharpshooter’s grave to remember what she meant to

Darke County and to remember what she meant to women. As the wind blew and rain came down over Annie Oakley’s grave, Weist introduced this year’s guest speaker, Karen Burkett. Burkett explained she was in the ﬁrst Miss Annie Oakley contest in 1966 and represented the Darke County Chamber. “I was married to John at the time, but we didn’t have children,” she said. “If I would have won, it would have set a terrible precedent.” Burkett shared Annie Oakley’s humble beginnings and said her story is a rags to riches story. “She was a true American girl,” she said. “She was at Queen Victoria’s celebration for her Jubilee Year. When Annie came in, the queen stood and bowed to the American ﬂag as it was presented and all the members therein where shouting hoorays to us.” She concluded, “What an amazing women to show America to the world.” 2018 Miss Annie Oakley Morgan Hissong was given the honor of laying a wreath at the base of Annie Oakley’s grave marker.

GREENVILLE – Nature Education Center, Shawnee Prairie Preserve, Worch Family Nature Preserve, Routzong Preserve, Alice Bish Park…the list goes on and on. Now, one more name has been added to the list that allows Darke County Parks to provide education and naturebased entertainment for area residents. On Sunday, Darke County Parks and Friends of the Darke County Parks were joined by well-wishers to cut the ribbon on the Bish Discovery Center located on Ohio Street in Greenville. Darke County Parks Director Roger Van Frank explained the opening of the center has been in the works for over two years. Talks with Tom Bish and the family’s desire to have Darke County Parks as a neighbor made it possible. Bish was given the honor of cutting the ribbon on the new facility. Bish currently serves on the board of trustees for the Darke County Parks. “The 2.883 acres would not be here if not for the Bish family,” said Van Frank. “They were looking for the right neighbors and I think

they found them.” He explained they went back and forth for two years to determine what they could and couldn’t do at the facility. A grant through the Ohio Public Works Commission made the deal for the land possible by paying for over three-fourths of the property. “The good part is your tax dollars are being well-used. Your tax dollars are being spent wisely.” He added, “This facility was not meant to take over the Nature Center. That’s a 7,000 square-foot facility that will always be there and it carries a strong purpose for Darke County Parks. This is a discovery center. It carries more information, not only for the kids. You’ll see it will be in ﬂuid motion throughout its career here.” Van Frank pointed out the facility is within walking distance of Greenville’s K-8 building and he is hoping the kids will take advantage of the Bish Discovery Center and use it following their school day to unwind and learn more about nature. Kelly (Bish) Herzog, daughter of Tom and Jennifer Bish, shared, “This is a proud day for our family. Seventy-seven years ago, my grandfather,

Tom Bish and his granddaughter cut the ribbon on the new Bish Discovery Center operated by the Darke County Parks.

Chalmer Bish, claimed this land as home. Having his home shared with the residents of Darke County would make him very proud.” “Having this tie in with the Alice Bish Parkway, which was named for my grandmother, is just really an endearing thing for the family,” she said. “It’s a great honor to have grandma recognized and I personally know she’d be so happy with a nature education center for families of Darke County.” Alice was an elementary school teacher in Arcanum and Greenville. Matt Staugler, executive director of the Darke County Visitors Bureau, said, “This is an incredible facility and it is the cornerstone for the growth of

nature-tourism in Darke County. Nature-tourism is the fastest growing sector in the industry I deal with every day. Cyclists, kayakers, canoeists…This is going to be the main place they interact with our county. Roger that’s all from you.” Van Frank said the Bish Discover Center will be open Wednesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The facility will be staffed permanently in the near future and he is hoping to open for more hours once that happens. The facility is available in the evenings for meetings. The center will also be used for special programming, including bike rides, water trail, aquaponics and more.

that provide service to people with developmental disabilities. Harrison himself was diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. One of the council’s goals is to educate and inform how state and local government services and policies can be improved, expanded or strengthened on behalf of people with disabilities. Attending these sessions with Harrison is Casper Shahan, his Dedicated Support Provider/state provider for the past two years. Shahan, a bus driver for the local Developmental Disabilities Council, has taken Harrison to Newark and

then to Columbus with the next one being in Newark again. Harrison is working with the committees of public policy, technology communication and community living/transportation. “I have been talking to a man in Georgia who developed the device Dino,” Harrison said. “A paralyzed person can put the device on his forehead to send messages.” Harrison, who also has involvement with the Darke County Red Cross, said at that group’s next meeting, he will be doing a presentation on that device via power point. “That’s how we help the communities,” he said. In his work with Red Cross, Harrison can go on ﬁre calls, serve food, etc., and provide families with shelter blankets via an URV. He volunteered at the recent Country Concert in the Hills at Fort Loramie. Harrison said the

ODDC’s committees are the ones making the laws and discussing them. “The laws are not being followed,” Harrison said. “Last week they were talking about privacy.” “The council wants to make sure the disabled are not being taken advantage of,” Shahan added. “I support Matt because of his interest in government. They’re actually a voice in the community, and he is highly functional.” He was expected to participate in the Annie Oakley Festival this weekend, after having been asked to march with the Darke County GOP, which he considers an honor. “My dad is the mayor of Hollansburg,” said the state delegate, who is the son of Matt and Dawn Harrison. Harrison has met with the Republican and Democratic parties, but pointed out he is independent because he wants to see the needs of the county.

completed by December of this year, but Pierri believes they will wait until the spring of 2019 for the grand opening. Pierri and Matt Steyer and YOLO committee began discussing the project ﬁve years ago as a way to distribute proceeds from the YOLO Festival of Races’ half-marathon that would best beneﬁt the community. In 2015, YOLO representatives addressed Greenville City Council asking for their blessing to move forward. Two years later, YOLO had a signed agreement and continued their fundraising efforts to add to the $250,000 Ohio Department of Natural Resources grant they received from the state. The project is expected to cost approximately $750,000. “I can’t express how

excited I am,” said Pierri about construction beginning on the project. He pointed out there have been a few changes to the original plans, including an ADA ramp around the water feature and parking has been rearranged at the rear of the park. Most of the original plans are still intact, which includes a brick wall with wrought-iron features around the property to help give protection from the busy intersection. Pierri is pleased with the community support and sponsorships they have received to complete this project, but are currently looking for a little more support to help ﬁnish the park. Funds from the YOLO race in Greenville will continue to support the park, but they are looking for individuals or businesses to help spon-

sor benches, chairs and tables. If you would like more information on how you can support the new park, visit www.yoloorg.com and visit the Contact Us link. Once the project is complete, Pierri said the YOLO Festival of Races will continue to support the community, but he’s not sure they will attempt another project this big. “I’m sure we’ll dream up something, but maybe not this big,” he said. However, they are currently working on an outdoor amphitheater at Heritage Park in Versailles. YOLO operates the annual Poultry Days race and funds from that race, as well as sponsorships and donations, will be used to build that project. Pierri said they are in the process of ﬁnalizing the plans for that project.

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Green Wave Marching Band of Pride was making its way through the streets of Greenville Thursday morning in preparation of the weekend Annie Oakley Parade. “This is our ﬁrst time marching around the streets,” said GHS band director Sara Lewis. “Getting ready for the Annie Oakley Parade on Saturday.” “We started at the high school, we went down to the park and we looked at the new band shell, showed them the new band shell,” added Lewis. “Then we came right back – getting their endurance up.” The band has spent many days and hours re-

hearsing in preparation for the parade and 2018 Greenville High School varsity football season halftime shows as well as opening the Friday night games with the playing of the National Anthem. “I’m extremely pleased,” Lewis said of her band students. “I’m especially pleased with my student leaders.

Great Horned Owl rescue in Ansonia CLINTON RANDALL

CORRESPONDENT crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

ANSONIA – Many have no idea who to call in the case of discovering an injured wild animal, but fortunately for one Great Horned Owl the staff at AFS Technology in Ansonia did. The owl was discovered July 20 by AFS employee Morgan Heck outside the building, located at 400 E Elroy Ansonia Road, with what appeared to be an injury to its wing. Heck quickly alerted other staff members who contacted the Ohio Division of Wildlife- District 5 office, which handles reports in Southwest Ohio. Wildlife officer Jasmine Grossnickle immediately headed to Ansonia from Miami County. It wasn’t long before Officer Grossnickle was on the scene. Since the initial report, the injured owl had made its way into a bean field on the north side of the property. After some direction of the entry point, Grossnickle was able to locate and rescue the bird within minutes. After the successful capture, the owl was transported to the Glen Helen Raptor Center in Yellow Springs for an assessment of its injury. According to the center director, Rebecca Jaramillo, the owl is believed to be female and approximately a year old. The extent of the injury is not fully known until

the swelling of the wing can be reduced through medication and time. “We will be able to better evaluate the bones once the swelling goes down,” Jaramillo explained. “The area of injury is the wrist and metacarpals and there is some damage to the feather follicles as well. Prognosis is really unknown at this time.” “We will know in a couple weeks if she can fly again…and if so will be once again released,” noted Jaramillo. The owl will be returned to the Ansonia area where she came from, if determined she will be able to fly again following rehabilitation. “We are very interested in knowing how the owl progressing with recovery and hope to be able to witness her release right back here after hopefully a full recovery,” said AFS owner John Tiernan.

GREENVILLE – You may see a few trucks and workers at the corner of South Broadway and Martin Street, but it is going to be a few weeks before you see any noticeable progress on the new urban park going in where a city-owned parking lot and the former Hamburger Shop once stood.

Double J Construction is currently performing the underground work necessary for the project, which is expected to take three to four weeks, and then the public should slowly start to see the park take shape.

Groundbreaking for Edison’s newest Piqua addition SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

PIQUA – Thanks to a generous donation from the Robinson Fund, a groundbreaking ceremony was held Thursday for Edison State Community College’s newest addition. The new Robinson Student Career Center will offer students, faculty and the regional business community the opportunity to learn, grow and expand. Commenting on the great weather, Edison President Dr. Doreen Larson said Thom and Pat Robinson have a “special relationship with Mother Nature.” The Robinson’s gift to the college was originally presented May 23, 2017, at the Piqua Campus to faculty, staff and community members. According to a printed program, the new facility will offer a wide variety of workforce development opportunities for Edison’s current three-county coverage area and beyond. “As we mark the begin-

ning of construction, this unique center designed to meet the growing needs of integrating students into a vibrant regional workforce reafﬁrms our commitment to our endeavor,” the program stated. Larson spoke to staff, elected ofﬁcials and community members gathered for the groundbreaking, explaining how the expansion efforts of the college provides an opportunity for Edison to “stand shoulder to shoulder” with the college’s community partners. “We are beyond grateful to Thom and Pat Robinson for entrusting in Edison,” she said. Several others took a few minutes to speak about Edison’s expansion, including State Senator Bill Beagle, who noted the importance of higher education keeping on top of the workforce. “The nature of work is changing,” Beagle said. “This provides an opportunity for faculty and students to work together.” The Robinsons also took the opportunity to speak, with Thom Robinson stating how “lucky” they were

Pat Robinson, who also has served on the Edison Foundation, shared “I get goose bumps every time I pull in here,” adding how she and her husband also had sponsored several Edison students over the years, including some notso-traditional age students. “There’s room for everybody here. Go Edison and let’s make it bigger and better,” she said. Dignitaries in attendance for the groundbreaking included Ben Thaeler, deputy district director for U.S.

Edisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local students continue to serve GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Edison State Community College Darke County communications students accumulated over 2,000 hours of community service during their fall and spring 201718 semesters. They made nine anti-bullying presentations, seven drug abuse presentations, and helped provide over 3,000 contact hours to Greenville students in Empowering Darke County Youthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s After School Tutoring Program. Fundamentals of Communications students used a variety of service options to incorporate the learning tools they received in the classroom. The tools included sending, receiving and feedback, as well as understanding and promoting ethics, human diversity, teamwork, critical thinking and respect for learning. In the fall, they made anti-bullying presenta-

tions to students in Ansonia, Mississinawa Valley and Greenville City school districts. In the spring, they made drug abuse presentations to Ansonia and Greenville students. Edison State students were rated by the district teachers, receiving almost exclusively 9 or 10 out of 10, for content, audience interaction and presentation skills. They reached nearly 500 elementary and middle school students with their messages this year. The Greenville Public Library also provided a forum for the students, starting with a presentation on Literacy last summer, the bullying presentation last fall and the drug abuse presentation this spring. The drug abuse presentation was recorded and posted on the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page. It was watched live by 26 individuals and since then has been viewed 613

times. In addition to the presentations, communications students worked with more than 115 Greenville Kindergarten through 8th grade students who needed extra help with their academic skills. They participated through the Empowering Darke County Youth After School Program. Some students, who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work in this program due to scheduling conďŹ&#x201A;icts, provided the same service to students in their home school districts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a college, we are committed to serving our community in many ways,â&#x20AC;? said Chad Beanblossom, Edison State Executive Dean, Darke County Campus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We appreciate the partnerships with our local school districts, the Greenville Public Library, and Empowering Darke County Youth.â&#x20AC;?

Several appear in court on drug, burglary, domestic violence charges BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The following appeared in Darke County Common Pleas Court this past week: * Matthew Cain, 32, of Greenville appeared from the county Jail via video conference on Monday to face a parole violation charge as well as a new charge of aggravated possession of methamphetamine, a 2nd degree felony. Cain failed to report to his probation ofďŹ cer and failed to complete the Recovery & Wellness program. Judge Jonathan P. Hein appointed David Rohrer as Cainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney and set a pre-trial date of Aug. 20. Darke County Prosecutor Kelly Ormsby suggested the judge set a $75,000 blanket bond for Cain. Cain asked if he could be released with electronic monitoring in order to work and earn money to support his children before his sentencing date, stating he knew he would be serving some prison time. Cain said he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;ready to put my best foot forward.â&#x20AC;? Hein ordered a $50,000 bond, telling Cain if he did pay the bond he was to continue with his parole sanctions until the sentencing date. * On Tuesday, Jerry Worley, 51, of Lewisburg entered a guilty plea for aggravated possession of drugs. Hein set a sentencing date of Sept. 5. Worley, who faces 18 months in prison and a driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license suspension, told Hein he is currently enrolled in a Re-

covery & Wellness program in Preble County, where he is on probation for possession charges. * Anthony Madden, 18, of Greenville appeared via video conference from the county jail on a charge of burglary, stemming from an incident that took place April 30. Madden told Hein when he attempted to get his belongings from the home he was living in at the time, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lot of things happened that shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have.â&#x20AC;? Madden, who has been jailed since the incident, faces a maximum threeyear prison sentence if convicted Hein accepted Maddenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guilty plea, continued his bond and set a sentencing date of Sept. 5. * Felisha Evans made her initial appearance via video conference from the county jail. Evans has been charged with failing to meet community control sanctions, stemming from an original charge of trafďŹ cking in or illegal use of food stamps. According to court records, Evans failed to report to her probation ofďŹ cer, failed to maintain employment, failed to pass a drug screening, failed to complete the Recovery & Wellness program, and has been charged with drug possession in Montgomery County. Hein appointed Randall Breaden as Evansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attorney, ordered a $20,000 bond and set a hearing for Aug. 21. * On Thursday, Hein conducted an initial appearance via video for Desmond Driggers who has been charged with domestic violence. Identifying himself

as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a stay-at-home dad,â&#x20AC;? Driggers was given an own recognizance bond with orders to stay away from the victim. Hein set his next court appearance for Aug. 10 and appointed David Rohrer as his defense attorney. * Lowell Bowers, 38, of Union City, Ind., appeared via video conference on Wednesday for a parole violation. According to court ďŹ lings, Bowers neglected to provide the probation department with his address, failed to maintain employment and failed to complete treatment by walking out of a Salvation Army treatment facility. Bowers waived his right to legal counsel and told Hein he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comply with his community control sanctions due to a serious family issue. He admitted he was guilty of violating probation. Assistant prosecutor Jim Bennett told Hein that Bowers â&#x20AC;&#x153;did littleâ&#x20AC;? to complete community control sanctions

and suggested the MonDay program. Bowers told the court he did not agree to being put in MonDay, that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d â&#x20AC;&#x153;done it beforeâ&#x20AC;? and promised he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;willing to ďŹ ndâ&#x20AC;? his own mental health counseling program. Hein told Bowers he had a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fundamental misunderstanding that anyone cared about your opinionâ&#x20AC;? and that Bowersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; job was to â&#x20AC;&#x153;work, not think. You somehow think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in charge. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not your place to walk out of a rehab center. You made the wrong call.â&#x20AC;? Hein ordered Bowers to remain in jail until Monday, July 30 and to remain on adult probation supervision. * Steven Evans, 22, of Greenville, also appeared for probation violations, failing to report to his probation ofďŹ cer since May 25. Evans also was recently charged with one count of having a weapon while under disability. Hein set a blanket bond

Stephens told Hein he would test positive for pain-killers, which he admitted he obtained on the street and not with a valid prescription. A pre-trial conference was set for Monday, July 30. * Olivia Debord, 26, of Greenville, entered a guilty plea for one charge of theft, a ďŹ fth degree felony. In February, Debord took a credit card belonging to her boyfriend, with whom she was estranged at the time. Debord charged $992 to the card. The two are now back together and the victim, who accompanied Debord to court, told Hein he did not want restitution. Hein placed Debord on community control sanctions, which includes 50 hours of community service and no illegal drugs or alcohol.

In May, Hein ordered an own recognizance bond for Stephens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea was to let you prove what kind of critter weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dealing with. You just did.

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Art Guild and local artists enjoyed a wonderful presentation by Indiana artist, Richard Lathrop in the Anna Bier Gallery on May 22. There are many things that can be stated about the presentation by Richard Lathrop. Richard made the atmosphere warm and friendly, as he told a story, allowing the participants to see a breathtaking sunset appear on canvas at the end. The room was transformed into a studio after a few minutes. It became Richard’s studio, where he guided

us through the process of working with pastels. Richard did his preplanning through the lens of the camera for his paintings. He felt very fortunate that we now have digital cameras. The camera allowed him to pick his image in a matter of minutes and capture the moments. He matches the type of paper he uses with his subject; however, pastel often requires sanded-paper. Richard prefers a limited palette using a small amount of broken pastels. He started with a very basic OPEN HOUSE Sunday July 29 1-2:30 5050 St. Rt. 722

sketch on his paper. Then he continued the underpainting for the beginning of his memorable skies. This is followed by blocking in by holding the pastel on the side making broad strokes. After the ﬁrst pass, the layering of more color and build up of pastels for details continued. During this process, Richard worked to blend the pastels into the paper. Richard stated that his ﬁngers might be considered a valuable tool for blending. He stressed the importance of hav-

ing a cloth to wipe off the excess pastel before using another color. Time slipped away while watching Richard ﬁnish his amazing sunset. Richard stated he didn’t have time to walk away from his painting to get a better view of his canvas so it might need more work. However, it didn’t matter because everyone that was there thought it was just perfect. The Greenville Art Guild thanks Richard for a wonderful and enthusiastic presentation. 937-548-4663

Thousands at inaugural Darke County Food Truck Rally

BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – A little more than midway through the inaugural Darke County Food Truck Rally on Saturday at the Darke County Fairgrounds, Jason Blackburn, president of the Dayton Food Truck Association and organizer of the Food Truck Rally, was asked if the event met his expectations. “It has exceeded them. There has been a constant flow of people since we opened.” Thousands of people filled the Darke County Fairgrounds and walked up and down three aisles of food trucks to find something that would fill the hunger they were feeling. From sushi burritos to pulled pork from pastries to funnel cake, there was something for every taste. While there were a few food trucks that have been seen at the Darke County Fair or at the Food Truck Rallys in the Greenville City Park, many more were new to the area. Blackburn noted they had food trucks from as far away as Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis. During the opening ceremony, Brian Rismiller,

fair manager, expressed his appreciation for hosting the event at the fairgrounds, “I want to thank Jason. He has put a lot of work and effort into this event. It’s wonderful to have an event like this here. We appreciate that he is bringing it here.” Darke County Commissioner Matt Aultman said it was appropriate for a county whose number one business is agriculture to host an event like this. “People from every one of these trucks take the food from these farmers and do amazing things with them. It’s kind of exciting to see what they do to bring these taste sensations to the county.” Blackburn said he brought the event to Darke

County because area residents have shown their appreciation for food trucks at the Food Truck Rallys in the Greenville City Park. “We wanted to bring food trucks and let them experience all the different tastes from food trucks from all over the area.” “I want to thank all of the sponsors. All the business in Darke County are willing to bring in new things into the county and I want to thank everyone for taking care of this for us,” said Blackburn. The event drew over sponsorships from over 75 Darke and Mercer county businesses. When Blackburn was asked if he hoped this would become an annual

August First Friday brings arts downtown GREENVILLE – If you love the arts you won’t want to miss Main Street Greenville’s (MSG) First Friday event for August, the Artisan Stroll. The event will feature multiple different vendors, each offering art, crafts, or handmade items. The event will be held from 6-9 p.m. in downtown Greenville on Friday, Aug. 3. Vendors will be set-up on the sidewalks in front of downtown businesses to showcase their items. The list of items offered include

paintings, ceramics, jewelry, drawings, re-purposed home decor, photography, pottery, and much more. In addition to the art and crafts on display, many activities and demonstrations will take place throughout the evening. The agenda includes dance performances by Final Bow Center for Children’s Performing Arts and 5678 Dance Studio, martial arts demonstrations by Young Forest Martial Arts, a display of cartoons by local artist Paul Ackley,

and a “Bad Art” contest hosted by several downtown businesses. The event will also include live music at multiple locations. MSG is very grateful to The Early Bird & Bluebag Media for loaning a selection of their previously published cartoons created by artist Paul Ackley. The original cartoons will be on display at a new downtown business, Paint Me Happy, 411 S. Broadway, throughout the evening for event attendees to view. Multiple downtown businesses will be participating in the ﬁrst ever “Bad Art” contest! Each participating business will display their piece in the store on the night of the Artisan Stroll and event attendees are encouraged to stop by each location to view the works of “art” and then vote for which piece is the best of the worst! A full list of participating businesses and voting cards will be supplied the night of the event. The evening also features
