ARCANUM — Howard “Glenn” Eley has been selected by the Arcanum Business Association to serve as grand marshal of the third Eley annual Christmas in the Village and Horse Parade in Arcanum, which takes place Dec. 14.

The World War II veteran celebrated his 99th birthday on June 21 and still goes to work three days a week without fail at Orme Hardware.

“I will be there 26 years the middle of next month. My health is good, but my legs need support to get around.”

When he first began working there, it was Arcanum Hardware, owned by Paul and Eldon Erdmann.

“I worked full-time until my age caught up with me,” Eley said.

“After I quit going to Florida, I had to have something to do so I

came back to the hardware store. That was in December 1993.”

How does he feel about being named grand marshal?

“Great. It was a big surprise,” he said. “I don’t know why you have to get old to be popular. They had me at the Round Table at the Historical Society.”

He said this will actually be his first year attending the village Christmas parade, as he was laid up the other two times.

The Christmas in the Village and Horse Parade is set on Dec. 14 is from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. at 310 N. Main St. The parade will begin at 7 p.m.

The parade will travel from the baseball diamonds on Sycamore Street, to George Street and to Main Street in Arcanum.

Stump making woodworking gifts

By Linda Moody

DarkeCountyMedia.com

ANSONIA — Jeff Stump of Ansonia spends a lot of time in his barn all year round, especially now that the holidays are here.

He generally makes homemade gifts for his family and friends with his own hands. Most of his projects are made of wood.

“I’ve tinkered most of my life with it,” he said. “I really got into it the last 10 years.”

Wife Candy gives him many ideas.

“She wanted cabinets in the house, so I made them and all kinds of things,” he said. “My dad was a carpenter, and I used to watch him make little projects in the garage and I sometimes helped him. Now, it’s mostly trial and error. I have wasted a lot of wood.”

He gets what he calls junk wood for his projects from family and friends.

“They give it to me and I salvage it,” he said.

Stump said he has made just about everything.

“I made flower boxes uptown for Ansonia Community Pride,” he said.

“And, I’ve made all kinds of signs.”

He has a cricket machine which helps him design some of the projects. He has put pictures of animals and

other things on the sides and tops of some of the wooden projects, especially toy boxes.

The design on the table in his barn has the name of all of his nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren that he printed and transferrred onto it. Those names surround a footprint painted red, which reads “Grandpa’s Barefoot Crafts.”

“I never wear shoes in the summer,” he said. “I just come out here in my shorts and a shirt and work. The grandkids came up with that.”

He said he is most proud of the benches he made for two of his children as Christmas gifts two years ago. One bore the name of “Stump” for son Tyler’s gift and “Buckingham” for daughter Darcy’s gift.

“To make the Buckingham one, it had to be over eight feet long,” he said. “I found some logs lying across the creek that had died and I used a chain saw to cut it off. I traced the leters out and painted them.”

Stump, who graduated from Mississinawa Valley High School in 1978, has also made a wooden Christmas tree, toy box, a wall decoration resembling the game Scrabble, a welcome post for a porch, a hummingbird feeder, family-named signs and wooden flags.

Linda Moody | DarkeCountyMedia.com

Jeff Stump puts the finishing touch on a wooden reindeer he created in the shop of his barn. The red nose is perfect.

He also made a Yard Yahzee Game, again wife Candy provided him that idea after she saw it on Pinterest.

“Her and that Pinterest,” he said. “I used 4x4 blocks and rounded off the edges to get them made.”

He also makes t-shirts, using his cricket.

Stump said even granddaughter Maddie Buckingham has expressed an interest in woodworking.

“She wanted to make something for her mom,” he said. “I watched her cut the letters out. She did a good job.”

Stump has truly been a Santa’s helper. Now, as an elf, and in previous years as the jolly man himself, for he served as the Santa at one of the Christmases held at the Ansonia American Legion one year.

“I’m about done with Christmas unless my wife finds something on Pinterest,” he said.

Greenville Early Bird

Juvenile cited for possession of electronic cigarette Traffic Stop On Dec. 3 an officer observed a pick-up truck traveling west bound on Martin Street with only one working headlight.

The officer conducted a traffic stop and identified the driver as a 17-year-old male. While speaking with the juvenile, the officer detected a strong odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. The officer also could see an electronic cigarette on the juvenile’s lap. He told the officer the electronic cigarette contained nicotine and he had permission from his father to have the item. The juvenile gave the officer consent to search the vehicle and while doing so the officer located a glass pipe in the center ashtray, which contained a green leaf substance with the odor and appearance of marijuana. The officer also located a clear bag underneath the driver’s seat, which contained approximately 3.5 grams of a green leaf substance with the odor and appearance of marijuana. The juvenile said the substance did not belong to him. The electronic cigarette, pipe and bag of suspected marijuana

were seized as evidence.

The juvenile agreed to perform field sobriety tests in which no notable clues of impairment were observed.

The officer was unable to make contact with the juvenile’s father. The vehicle was secured and left at the scene. The officer transported the juvenile to his grandmother’s residence.

The juvenile was issued citations for possession of a tobacco product and for the headlight defect violation then was released to his grandmother. The officer later spoke with the juvenile’s father on the phone and he was made aware of the incident. The seized items were transported to the Greenville Police Department and secured in evidence.

Wanted Person On Dec. 1 an officer saw Meka Seiler, who had an outstanding warrant, riding a bike. The warrant was through the Greenville Police Department for failure to appear on an original charge of criminal trespass.

Seiler was stopped and advised she was under arrest and placed in handcuffs. She was transported to the Darke County Jail,

where she is being held on a bond of $1,025. Seiler’s bicycle was taken and placed into property for safe keeping.

On Dec. 3 an officer apprehended a known person with an active warrant.

The officer was dispatched to a residence in the 300 block of Warren Street on a trespassing complaint.

Upon arrival, it was discovered the offender from the trespassing complaint had left the area and the complainant decided he did not want to speak with officers. The listed address was known to be the residence of a known wanted person, Albert Reed. While at the residence one of the officers attempted to make contact with Reed after clearly hearing him speaking inside the residence.

Reed refused to answer the door. Without a confirmed visual of Reed inside the residence, the officers left the area. A short time later officers were informed by dispatch that Reed was on

the telephone and wanted to turn himself in. An officer arrived back at the residence. Reed came out the front door and willingly gave himself up to be incarcerated. The warrant for a probation violation from the original charge of aggravated possession of drugs was confirmed through Darke County Dispatch. Reed was transported to the Darke County Jail to be incarcerated with no bond.

On Dec. 3 an officer was dispatched to the Greenville PD, 122 West Main St. on the report of a male in the lobby who had a warrant. The officer spoke to dispatch and was advised the male in the lobby, who was identified as Forrest Guffey, had a warrant out of Muncie, Ind. for felony possession of methamphetamines. The warrant was confirmed through LEADS./NCIC and Delaware County in Indiana confirmed the warrant. There was no bond.

GHS Class of 1966 luncheon GREENVILLE – The GHS Class of 1966 is having its monthly luncheon at Asian Buffet on Thursday, Dec. 12, 12:30 p.m. They meet the second Thursday of the month. Invite other

Guffey was released to Darke County Corrections Officers.

Shoplifting On Nov. 30 officers were called to Dollar General, 539 Wagner Ave. on the report of a theft. The complainant said the subjects were walking southbound on Wagner Avenue and the store’s manager was following them. The complainant gave officers a description of the two subjects, who were identified as Jeremy Martinez and his girlfriend.

When an officer located the subjects, he asked Martinez if he had any items from the Dollar General in his pockets. He pulled out a container of coffee and his girlfriend said she did not know where the coffee came from. The officer placed Martinez in the backseat of the police cruiser while waiting for the Dollar General employee to come identify the item and the subject. The employee arrived and said the cof-

fee was what she observed Martinez take out of Dollar General. Martinez admitted he had put the coffee beans in his pocket and left the store without paying.

The item, worth $5.95, was returned to Dollar General, undamaged. The officer issued a citation for theft to Martinez.

Students address topic of bullying GREENVILLE — Six “Fundamentals of Communication” students at Edison State Community College, Darke County Campus, will offer a presentation addressing the issues of bullying on Tuesday, Dec. 10 at 6 p.m. at the Greenville Public Library.

Students Jordan Seaman, William Weaver, Maggie Bankson, Isabel Shaw, Kaitlyn Schmidt and Asia Sykes will talk about the different types of bullying, its impact on victims, and different ways to address the problem. The program is

a culmination of 16 weeks of preparation in public speaking, research, and teamwork.

While statistics may vary, all sources agree bullying is a major problem in the U.S. For instance, one national anti-bullying site reports that 90 percent of fourth through eighth graders report being victims of bullying, with more than 3.2 million victims reported every year. Approximately 160,000 teens skip school daily due to bullying, and one in 10 will eventually drop out of school.

Surveys done in three

Edison State communications classrooms indicate nearly two-thirds of the students have been bullied, about a third have actually participated in bullying, and almost without exception students have observed bullying (referred to as bystanders).

What are the harmful effects of bullying? Why does it happen? What can victims and bystanders do about it? These are just a few of the questions the Edison State team hopes to address. Registration not required.

Acker releases new book GREENVILLE – Ryan Acker recently announced the release of his book, If There Must Be an Enemy, It Is Not the Way. Starting with the death of his grandfather, a WWII veteran from Greenville, the book chronicles Acker’s life coming out as gay in Colorado Springs in the 1990’s, the disappearance of his nine-year-old cousin in 1999, and his experiences working in social services throughout the country over the last two decades.

“I hope sharing my own lessons learned will empower others who are struggling with the status quo,” says Acker. “I believe real change starts with challenging our own beliefs about ourselves as individuals, as well as our beliefs about others, so that we can come together in working toward a better future.”

Acker, who named

Greenville as the national headquarters for his 2020 presidential bid on Nov. 5 says coming up with the title for the book helped to concretize his desire to run for President.

“I strive to adhere to the book’s mantra as best as I can, If There Must Be an Enemy, It Is Not the Way,” he said.

“I think we’ve all suffered from the ‘us’ versus ‘them’ dynamic in our politics, policies and laws

READERS WRITE

Darke County veterans wanted This letter is for all Darke County and surrounding area veterans. As of July 2019, the government has finally seen fit to modify our American Legion membership qualifications. Membership before was for veterans serving “during conflict,” be it WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Panama, Granada, Lebanon, the Persian Gulf, and now the current war on terrorism.

Congress has opened ALL dates to include, 7 December 1941 through the current date and beyond until this country and the world is finally at peace. Our American Legion membership is diminishing and is in dire need of new members.

The reason our membership is declining, the “Old Guard”, the ones that built this great organization is dying off at the rate of thousands each day. The American Legion and its goals are too important to our veterans and communities to die with them.

Please help us keep helping. I’m asking you veterans to come visit your local American Legion Post and become a new member and get involved with your brother and sister veterans. The American Legion is very much involved in helping

any veteran in need and helping our communities with donations, especially our youth. Most, but not all Legion Posts have social lounges and weekly activities to include dances, meals, Sunday breakfasts, and more. We donate time and money to the V.A. and other Veterans charities. We also donate locally to our schools, American Legion Baseball, Lady Wave softball, Darke County Cancer, Light Foundation, and the list continues. Our support groups, the Ladies Auxiliary, and Sons of the American Legion are strong supporters of our Veterans both past and present. Should you join, you could make it a family affair.

Darke County and its surrounding Legions can be found in Ansonia, Hollansburg, New Madison, New Paris, Greenville, North Star, Osgood, Versailles, Covington, West Manchester, Eaton, and Union City, Indiana. Veterans, please consider joining our organization, you have earned that right by serving your country and your fellow veteran. It is brotherhood.

Norman Fullerton Commander Erk Cottrell Post 140 Greenville

Tax credits for scholarship COLUMBUS - On Monday, State Senator Matt Huffman (R-Lima) was joined by U.S. Assistant Secretary of Elementary and Secondary Education Frank Brogan for a press conference announcing legislation to set up a system to offer tax credits to individuals who make donations to scholarship granting organizations (SGOs).

Senate Bill 199 would allow Ohio to take advantage of the proposed Education Freedom Scholarship Program announced earlier this year by the U.S. Department of Education. The proposed plan is currently being considered

by Congress.

The Education Freedom Scholarships proposal creates a $5 billion annual federal tax credit for businesses and individuals who voluntarily donate to scholarship granting organizations (SGOs).

If passed by Congress,

individual states could then take advantage of SGOs, allowing Ohio families to choose the right education option for their elementary and secondary students, which could be an independent or faithbased private school or a home education.

“Through the SGOs and no cost to the tax payer, Ohio families could take advantage of pursuing an education that best meets the needs of their children,” said Huffman.

“I am hopeful Congress will soon pass the Education Freedom Scholarships, giving states the opportunity to enact these programs.”

“I am proud of Ohio.

Ohio continues to increase educational outcome derivatives while also putting greater emphasis on the strength of freedom for Ohio families to choose how their children are educated,” said Assistant Secretary Brogan.

‘Tis the season for stories

It’s been fun this holiday season writing stories almost daily for the issues in the Early Bird/Daily Advocate that started out around Thanksgiving and have led up now to Christmas and New Year’s.

Thanks to those who responded to my plea for story ideas on Facebook. I got quite a few new ideas.

I still have more to work on in the couple of weeks yet to come.

My thoughts were to cover as many facets of the season as I could.

I just wish I could get in the spirit after talking with people who definitely are.

Maybe one of these days, one of these years, it will all be like it used to be. But, I won’t hold my breath.

In the meantime, I will try and live each day to the fullest; attempt to get out of this funk; keep loving and praying to our God; continue loving my family, co-workers and friends; and be the best person I can be, if that’s possible. Maybe I am asking too much on the latter.

We’ll see. ****** Jamie and I extend our condolences to the families of: Chuck Davis, Mary McCoy Gabbard, Norman “Bill” Keiser, Zane Kindley, Kimra Skelton, Roger Tingley, Hunter Smith, Carolyn Irvine, Barbara Gump, Jim

Greenville boys down Arcanum The Green Wave opens season play with a 45-37 non-conference win over Arcanum

By Gaylen Blosser DarkeCountyMedia.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville hosted the Arcanum Trojans to open the 20192020 varsity boys OHSAA basketball season with the Green Wave earning a 45-37 Friday night win.

“I texted those six seniors Thanksgiving day and let them know I’m just thankful for those kids who stuck it out and continued to work and battle and get better,” said Greenville coach Kyle Joseph. “For them to be able to come out here tonight and show the improvements we’ve made – super proud of them.”

“I came in anticipating to play really well and we didn’t,” Arcanum coach Roger McEldowney said.

“A lot of guys were playing varsity for the first time and I think they were just trying to go a little bit too fast. They just need to learn from it, slow themselves down and we’ll get better.”

Arcanum battled back to pull within three, 38-35 at 3:03 in the fourth quarter before Greenville would close out scoring on the night with a 7-2 run to win the non-conference game.

“We got down 14 and they just kept coming,” said McEldowney. “The effort was there late in the game and we got it down to three. We just have to execute a little bit better in situations.”

“We were in a good spot with the clock and we did a number of things really great the way we finished the game,” Coach Joseph said.

“We have work to do,” added Joseph. “We haven’t had a fourth quarter lead in a while. It’s just an experience thing from that end of it as far as making sure we are playing at our speed and know that we put ourselves in a great position up 14 there with the clock ticking down and just be patient.”

The free throw line was the difference in the game as Greenville would go 11-19 for 58 percent while Arcanum was 1-7 for 14 percent at the line.

“We shoot fouls a little bit better and it might be a different outcome,” McEldowney stated, “but give Greenville credit.

They had a good game plan and they executed, made shots when they needed to.”

“This team has a lot of potential,” Coach Joseph noted. “We have to want more than just winning some games. We have to keep scratching away, keep clawing away at that every single day and use this momentum to take us forward.”

DJ Zimmer led Greenville and all scorers with a game high 13-points.

Greenville Early Bird

Lawson speaks to Coalition for a Healthy Darke County GREENVILLE – The Darke County Chamber of Commerce recently joined Premier Health and the Coalition for a Healthy Darke County to host a Diversity & Inclusion Workshop at the Brethren Retirement Community.

The speaker was Stacey Lawson, PHR, CDM, SHRM-SCP, vice president of Human Resources Operations, Premier Health.

As stewards of the public good, all organizations, regardless of mission, are called on to embrace and celebrate our common

humanity, and the inherent worth of all people. In doing so, we must also acknowledge that a climate of growing intolerance and Lawson inequity is a challenge to our values and ideals. Divisions along economic, racial, religious, and political lines have created an increasingly polarized society in need of healing. And the complex issues and dynamics at the intersection of race, class, gender, and sexuality call for deeper thinking as we

seek to understand each other.

During her presentation, Lawson identified a common and inclusive definition for diversity while also, differentiating between diversity and inclusion; discussed stereotypes, how they get started and provided a common framework for addressing them; and, reviewed the leader’s role in creating a culture that embraces diversity and inclusion and practical tips

Report construction or remodeling GREENVILLE – Owners of new construction, remodeling, or any other building improvements such as heating and plumbing systems, central air conditioning, or building under construction in Darke County, are reminded by the County Auditor, Carol Ginn, that it is their duty to report such construction.

According to section 5713.17 O.R.C., any person that constructs any building (this includes all agricultural buildings) or other improvements costing more than $2,000 upon any lot or land within a township or municipal corporation not having a system of building regulation and inspection, (this includes agricultural

and residential areas), shall notify the County Auditor of the county which such land or lot is located, that the building or improvement has been completed or is in the process of construction. The notice shall be in writing, shall contain an estimate of the cost, shall describe the lot or land, shall provide the owner’s name, and shall be served upon the County Auditor no later than 60 days after construction of the building or improvement has commenced.

This is necessary so that the County Auditor may determine the value and location of the new structures. Upon the discovery of a building or improvement that

has been constructed, but of which the County Auditor has not been notified as required by section 5713.17 O.R.C., the County Auditor shall appraise it and place it upon the tax list and duplicate, at its taxable value, together with penalty equal to 50 percent 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 5477317. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except holidays.

that leaders at all levels can use to engage staff to improving the employee experience. She provided an actionable framework and template to use in developing a Diversity Strategy. The workshop attendees were from nonprofit, for-profit, not-forprofit and government sectors.

Lawson is an innovative and transformational change leader with a demonstrated record of translating strategy into results. She has been with Premier Health for 21+

years and is credited with having spearheaded the first comprehensive strategic diversity initiative for Premier Health.

Lawson was recognized as a 2014 Woman of Influence as well as a previous Outstanding African American Alumni from Wright State University in Dayton, where she also earned both her B.S., in Human Resources Management and her M.S., in Business & Industrial Management Counseling.

She received acknowledgement for her contributions

to social justice, equality, and inclusion by the Ohio Diversity Conference as a DiversityFirsts and received the Rainbow Award for her community efforts in promoting racial harmony and reconciliation. In 2002, she was recognized as one of Dayton’s Top 40 Under 40.

Lawson currently sits on the Boards for Wright State University Alumni Association, the Dayton Art Institute and Culture Works. She is also on the Advisory Council for the UNCF.

Shown are, from left to right, Lin Roberts (board member), Patti Menendez, for the cookies; Trisha Hill of JT’s Brew and Grill; Jessi Klosterman and Brandi Wyne of Rudnick & Hoseke law office; and board members Kim Rudnick, Gretchen Davis (who also represent Eikenberry’s); and Gordon Smith.

DARKE COUNTY — It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the Greenville Public Library as staff spent Monday decorating. However, amongst the baubles, lights, and theme of a Reading Wonderland, a particular Christmas tree stood out with a collection of hats, gloves, and mittens on its branches.

The Mitten Tree will collect donations of winter gloves, mittens, and hats that will be given to children enrolled in Darke County Head Start programs and their families from now until Monday, Dec. 16.

Susi Halley, director of the Greenville Public Library, shared this is the first year the library has participated.

The tree is located in the children’s area of the library, next to the checkout counter. It already boasts many donated items thanks to the GPL staff, and they welcome the public to do likewise.

Halley shared the Mitten Tree is a pet project of Marilyn Delk with the Fish Choice Pantry of Darke County, which assists area families with emergency food needs. The organization has been aiding residents since 1967.

Delk, as the coordinator for the Mitten Tree project, shared a wealth of information in regard to this unique holiday event, one that has been going strong for over fifty years.

It began as the brainchild of “two lovely Fish volunteers” Alice Wagner and

The Mitten Tree has been a county tradition for the last 50 years with the Greenville Public Library participating for the first time. Donations of mittens, gloves, and hats will be accepted from now until Monday, Dec. 16.

Maxine Katzenbarger wrote Delk in an email that evokes the nostalgia for Christmases of the past.

Katzenbarger owned and operated the Yarn Dome, formerly located on East Main St., Greenville, which sold yarn and other knitting and needlework supplies. The first Mitten Tree stood in the shop where it collected homemade and store-bought mittens and gloves for needy children.

Those collected items

were distributed during a Christmas party held by Fish, where children of families the organization had assisted throughout the year were invited, and the mittens distributed.

The unique event also featured storytelling and holiday songs.

A Mitten Tree was also erected at the G.C. Murphy Company store, formerly located on Broadway in downtown Greenville. The variety store was host to

the tree each year until its closure with a few other locations used over the ensuing years.

Delk noted it became easier to match needy children with the winter accessories after Head Start was established. Fish and Head Start work together to distribute the donations to Head Start students at their Christmas parties. Anything left over is used for when the youngsters’ mittens get lost.

“Which needless to say, is not a rare event,” wrote Delk.

Mitten Trees can be found at Montage Café, Brethren’s Retirement Community, Greenville Public Library, and at Fourman’s Variety Store in Arcanum.

“Through the years, many organizations, churches, and businesses, as well as individuals, have participated in the project,” continued Delk.

“Some erecting their own tree for the members, staff, and patrons to decorate with colorful gloves and mittens, which is a much-appreciated response.”

A reminder, the Greenville Public Library will host their annual Friends of the Library cookie extravaganza and holiday open house from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14. It provides a prime opportunity to donate to the Mitten Tree and also enjoy live music, a book sale, holiday puppet show, and the Grinch will make a special appearance.

Combating field compaction SPRINGFIELD – The fall of 2018 and spring of 2019 created some less than ideal conditions for field work leaving many farmers concerned with field compaction. This concern is justified as compaction can significantly reduce yields.

Compaction has been a concern for many years as equipment size grows, increasing axle weight.

Researchers have been conducting on-farm trials comparing farming practices to uncover ways farmers can reduce compaction.

Comparisons include tires and tracks, equipment size and tillage practices. At the 2020 Precision University, OSU Extension has invited in some of the leading experts from across North America on compaction research and management.

their current role. This is also an excellent opportunity for people who are interested in entering this locally in-demand career field,” said Rhonda Rich, Coordinator of Regional Campus Career Pathway Advising.

Successful completion of this course will result in the awarding of three credit hours, which may be applied to an Associate of Applied Business degree in Banking, a Banking certificate, or a Banking Fundamentals short-term technical certificate. All of these degree and certification options may be completed at the Campus at Greenville, utilizing a combination of in-class and online coursework.

For more information or to register for the principles of banking course, call Edison State at Greenville at 937-548-5546.

ARCANUM – Arcanum-Butler Middle School congratulates its October Students of the Month. Shown are (back row) Alexis Gibbons, Michael Mann, (middle row) Blake Riffell, Emilie Fout, Bryce Kramer, Madi Garber, (front row) Luke Stephens, and Madison Schwartz.

Mill’s friends offer thanks GREENVILLE – Historic Bear’s Mill, established in 1849 and located about five miles east of Greenville, requires constant upkeep and repair to maintain structural integrity; this basic fact is a constant concern for board members of Friends of Bear’s Mill, the non-profit corporation that owns and operates the treasured structure. In April of this year, a unique fundraising event was proposed to the Mill Board by Tessa Clark, who had essentially grown up at the Mill which her parents, Terry and Julie Clark, had purchased in 1979 and managed until the Friends of Bear’s Mill took over the operation in 2013.

Clark, a fashion designer, had gained some celebrity as a contestant on Project Runway, and believed that her moment of fame offered the opportunity to attract attendance at a Bear’s Mill fashion show which she would plan and execute, with all profits benefitting the treasured property. The board accepted her proposal, and is still amazed by the highly successful outcome of their decision. “The Miller’s Daughter: A Fashion Show” drew 332 attendees and earned over $19,000, which will be used to sustain and preserve the historic structure that has been integral to the lives of Tessa and her parents.

Clark, a graduate of University of Cincinnati’s Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning school, has developed her own clothing line, Grind and Glaze, honoring her father, a miller, and her mother, who is a potter. The Darke County native now lives and works in Cincinnati, where she

sells her designs, plus her mother’s pottery and her cousin’s handbags at Idlewild Woman, the shop she manages in the trendy Over-theRhine district.

In organizing her event, the 28-year-old bundle of energy not only dealt with running the style show, including recruiting other designers, securing models, enlisting the participation of local boutiques and arranging for the set-up of the runway in the Mill-yard, but also solicited sponsors as well as donors of highly-desirable raffle prizes and planned the marketing for the fundraiser.

Friends of Bear’s Mill greatly appreciates Tessa’s generous gift of her unique skills, talents, and labor benefitting the beloved structure the organization is dedicated to preserving.

A portion of the funds raised has already been spent, as a breech created by tunneling wildlife occurred in a dam integral to the Mill’s water flow. This unexpected problem was successfully addressed, with the repair work donated by the afore-mentioned former owner Terry Clark, who continues to look after the property he has worked so long to preserve. Other vital repairs to the Mill’s infrastructure still needing to be addressed have been estimated to cost $200,000, so a Capital Campaign to raise additional funds will soon be undertaken. However, Friends of Bear’s Mill is grateful that this daughter of the mill, Tessa, jump-started the money-raising efforts with her talents, labor, organizational ability, and creativity.

Park National reports financials NEWARK – Park National Corporation (Park) (NYSE American: PRK) today reported financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2019 (three and nine months ended September 30, 2019). Park’s board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.01 per common share, payable on December 10, 2019 to common shareholders of record as of November 15, 2019.

“We continue to benefit from welcoming our newest banking teams into our family,” said Park Chairman David Trautman. In the past two years, Park has added NewDominion Bank Division (Charlotte, NC) and Carolina Alliance Bank Division (Spartanburg, SC), as well as a Park National Bank division team in Louisville, KY. “Our colleagues remain unrelenting in their efforts to share resources and information, further

uniting our divisions and serving customers and prospects more.”

Park’s net income for the third quarter of 2019 was $31.1 million, a 25.8 percent increase from $24.8 million for the third quarter of 2018. Third quarter 2019 net income per diluted common share was $1.89, compared to $1.56 in the third quarter of 2018.

Park’s net income for first nine months of 2019 was $78.8 million, a 6.4 percent decrease from $84.1 million for first nine months of 2018. Net income per diluted common share was $4.84 for the first nine months of 2019, compared to $5.41 for the first nine months of 2018.

“Our financial performance and earnings per share include some effects of our recent partnerships with NewDominion Bank and Carolina Alliance Bank,” said Park President Matthew Miller. “Our

investments into growth markets, among other activities, include some one-time revenue and expenses.

Those influence comparisons between 2019 and 2018 results, as exhibited in the financial tables.”

Park’s community-banking subsidiary, The Park National Bank, reported net income of $30.9 million for the third quarter of 2019, an 11.1 percent increase from $27.9 million reported for the third quarter of 2018. The bank reported net income of $87.0 million for the first nine months of 2019, compared to $83.4 million for the first nine months of 2018.

Austin Timmerman was highlighted for key role he is playing at SISCO and the skills being gained.

Capstone highlight

OH-70162846

VERSAILLES – Austin Timmerman is a senior at Versailles High School and participates in the Agriculture Education Capstone Program. The Versailles Agriculture Education Capstone Program is in its eighth year of existence.

Capstone is a program that gives Versailles High School junior and senior students that are enrolled in agriculture education an opportunity to gain real world employment experiences and opportunities while in high school.

This year a record 37 students are enrolled in the Versailles Agriculture Education Capstone programs and are leaving school after their daily required courses are complete and working at area businesses.

The goal of the spotlight is to highlight each month one of the students that participate in the capstone program and highlight the skills/knowledge they are gaining, the roles/assets they are to their business.

The students enrolled in capstone also use their employment as their Supervised Agriculture Experience Program. As part of their grade in capstone, students are required to keep detailed records of their hours worked, earnings and skills performed.

In addition to the record books capstone students are being evaluated at the end of each nine weeks by an evaluation completed by their employer.

Timmerman started working at SISCO (Superior Implement and Supply Company) in Greenville in the summer of 2018

when he was going into his junior year and has continued to work throughout his senior year. He has worked over 1,600 hours since the start of his employment.

SISCO is a wholesale farm equipment distributor for dealerships in six states with a large parts inventory.

Through Timmerman’s capstone employment, he has learned valuable skills such as customer interaction, time management, inventory management, and problem solving. On a day-to-day basis he helps customers find the correct parts needed to fix their machines as well as shipping out daily orders. He also assists with set up of new mowers and other farm machinery and helps clean the shop to make the next work day efficient.

Timmerman’s supervisor Josh Overholser, vice-president of SISCO said that “Austin has been a very valuable member of our SISCO team over the past year and a half. No matter what job we throw at him, he is always eager and willing to tackle the task. It’s great to have someone we know we can trust to get the job done right. Once he has been trained on a certain task, he can work independently to get the job done which frees up the rest of our warehouse staff to work on other projects.

It has really helped our productivity.”

After graduation Austin plans to obtain an Associate Degree in Agriculture Business and maintain full time employment at SISCO.

In 1913, Europe was still ruled by kings and queens. During 1913 tensions were building and armies were growing as the world was less than a year from the outbreak of the “Great War”, now known as World War One. The 16th Amendment passed which gave the federal government the right to levy income taxes, the temperance movement was forming which and would eventually lead to Prohibition. In March of 1913, Ohio experienced the worst natural disaster in its history. The Great Dayton Flood killed 360 people and destroyed 20,000 homes with waters reaching 20 feet deep in downtown Dayton.
