Nichols found guilty by jury, sentenced to eight years BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER GREENVILLE - After two days of testimony, it took a jury only four anda-half hours Wednesday, May 7 to find 34-year-old Cory M. Nichols guilty on one count of Aggravated Robbery, a felony of the first degree. Nichols, a former Pitsburg resident, was indicted after DNA evidence led investigators to file charges after a vicious assault on 73-yearold Carole Coblentz in the parking lot of the Darke County YMCA Sept. 4, 2013. Though the victim was unable to identify her attacker, Nichols’ cell phone was found in the backseat of the Coblentz vehicle and her blood was confirmed to be present on a shirt Nichols was wearing after DNA test-

ing was done through the Ohio Attorney General’s ofﬁce of Bureau of Criminal Investigation. “I am very happy with the jury’s verdict,” said Darke County Prosecuting Attorney Kelly Ormsby. “I feel the right person was convicted for this crime. The community is a little safer knowing that the person who did this was tried and convicted.” DNA on Jack Coblentz’s wallet, the husband of the victim, was tested and conﬁrmed to belong to Nichols. Though defense attorney David A. Rohrer argued the fact that none of Nichols’ DNA was found to be inside the Coblentz vehicle, a jury decided the evidence presented by Ormsby and testimony by the victims, witnesses, detectives and

forensic scientist Raymond Peoples was enough to convict the defendant. “I am very pleased with the verdict rendered by the jury in this case,” lead detective Eric Kiryluk of the Greenville Police Department told The Early Bird. “I would like to thank the officers with the Greenville Police Department, deputies at the Darke County Sheriff’s Office and the Darke County Prosecutor’s Office, along with anyone involved who provided their assistance and diligence which resulted in a successful resolution and hopefully closure for the victims.” After the jury returned the guilty verdict, Darke County Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein sentenced Nichols to a prison term of eight years.

“You could have easily killed my wife,” Jack Coblentz said to Nichols prior to sentencing. “I hope you do something to change the path you are on, you need some help.” Nichols was returned to the Lebanon Correctional Institute where he is serving an unrelated 18 month sentence for an Aggravated Assault out of Miami County before being transported back to Darke County to stand trial in this case. This is the fourth time he has been in prison. He was previously convicted on another Aggravated Assault charge out of Shelby County and a Burglary charge from Miami County. He will be placed on post release control for up to 60 months once the prison sentence is complete.

K-9 unit returns to county BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER DARKE COUNTY Darke County has a new weapon in the war on drugs and other crimes. The Darke County Sheriff’s Office K-9 unit Eric, a three-year-old German Shepherd, and his partner Deputy Jay Pearson are officially on duty. The Darke County Sheriff’s Office hosted a training session with six other K-9 units out of Preble County May 6 at the Darke County Fairgrounds. This was the public’s first glimpse at its new K-9 unit and what

he can do. “With the rising number of drug-related cases, Darke County was in need of this,” said Preble County Deputy Sheriff Matt Lunsford who was at Tuesday’s training. According to Deputy Pearson, Eric is certiﬁed in the detection of the four major drugs on the streets today: marijuana, heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine, but has also been trained to sniff out other illegal drugs as well.

Grand Marshalls Winston, Jeannie Brumbaugh honored BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR ARCANUM – Winston and Jeannie Brumbaugh thanked the community for naming them the Grand Marshalls of the May 18 Old Fashioned Days Parade. “It’s quite an honor,” said Jeannie. Winston noted it is a privilege to be recognized by the folks in the community. “You do the best you can do,” Winston continued. “If you say how great you are, man, you better be great. We would rather just invite folks to come here and hope they think ‘this is better than I thought’.” Brumbaugh was referring to one of Arcanum’s long-time showcases, the Brumbaugh Fruit and Fun Farm. The couple arrived in the village 52 years ago and bought their farm. “There was nothing here at the time,” he said. “We planted 100 apple trees in 1969.” The couple’s daughters started having school tours. Their ﬁrst stop was Arcanum School District… “We have something we’d like to share

with you,” he said. “This has grown to about 5,000 kids each fall.” About 15 years ago, his daughters started the “Fun Farm.” They decided to open it up to the public in September and October on weekends. Noting the farm was a ‘family affair,’ Brumbaugh said they all – children, grandchildren and now great grandchildren – enjoy coming out here. After the parade Winston said he’d be at the Lions BBQ at the school. “We have chicken BBQ every Old Fashioned Days weekend,” he said. “I imagine I’ll be in charge of the pies… apple (of course) and a few strawberry-rhubarb.” The parade starts at 11 a.m. He invited all to come out after the parade and get lunch.

CAP has been leading the War on Poverty for 50 years BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR GREENVILLE – In 1964 President Lyndon B. Johnson addressed the nation and urged passage of the Economic Opportunity Act. The War on Poverty had begun. Fifty years later, residents of Darke County, Miami Valley and across the country are still being helped by the wheels that were set in motion by that Act. On Dec. 11, 1964 the Articles of Incorporation were signed and ﬁled with Secretary of the State of Ohio to

form the Supporting Council of Preventative Effort (SCOPE). In 2003, the name was changed to more directly reﬂect what the organization does, Community Action Partnership (CAP). The local CAP provides services in Montgomery, Preble, Greenville and Darke Counties with limited programs in Butler, Miami, and Warren Counties. John Bennett, director of Communications and Public Relations for CAP, stressed it takes a partnership from com-

munity members, organizations and businesses for the residents using these services to be successful. “We identify needs in a community and try to meet those needs,” he said. Each community is different and services differ from county to county. The need in Dayton may be different from the need in Greenville or the service may be provided by another organization. The organization continues to evolve and change with the needs they are seeing. Accord-

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT

Worker declared brain dead after drug overdose On April 20 police were called to assist emergency personnel on a report of an overdose by a guest at the Greenville Inn, 851 Martin St. The victim, Jeffrey Kaser, was lying just inside the hotel room door on the ﬂoor unconscious. He did not appear to be breathing. Police took over from a witness who was performing CPR until Greenville Township personnel arrived about two minutes later and began working on Kaser. There was an empty syringe, a lighter and a metal lid with burn marks. There was a belt that could have been used as a tourniquet, along with three empty capsules. Witnesses said Kaser was inside the bathroom with the door locked for a long period of time. When they heard snoring they picked the lock and found Kaser slumped over the bathtub. He was blue in the face and didn’t seem to be breathing. They started CPR and called 911. The witnesses said they were unaware he used drugs and were in Greenville on a temporary job for their company, Central Painting and Sand Blasting, Navarre. By the time Kaser was transported to Wayne Emergency he had a strong pulse and was breathing on his own. Hospital ofﬁcials, however, advised the police Kaser had been pronounced brain dead. The police de-

partment informed the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department. SEX OFFENSE On April 30 police were dispatched to the residence of a victim regarding a sex offense occurring at K-Mart, 695 Wagner Ave. The victim advised she noticed a man in his mid 20’s wearing a tan or olive ball cap, gray or tan T-shirt with blue jeans. He was approximately six feet tall. She ﬁrst noticed him in the clothing section but then observed him several more times as she moved through the store. She felt she was being followed. While in the pharmacy section she looked down the aisle and saw the man exposing himself. She left the aisle and went to an employee, telling him what took place. The store had two other employees follow the subject through the store while the victim checked out and left. Police will follow up to obtain a video of the man and/or the incident. ASSAULT On May 5 police responded to Circle Mart, 100 E. Main St., regarding a person being struck by a vehicle. The vehicle left the scene. The victim, Dennis Yohey, was walking away from the scene while the suspect, Carl Henninger, called from home, 424 Front St., admitting he struck Yohey with his vehicle. When police arrived

he said his girlfriend, Tiffany Cole, had told him about an alleged crime committed by Yohey against her. He said when he saw Yohey in front of him, “he slammed on the gas and ran him over.” Henninger said he didn’t even know why he did it. “I know better than that.” Cole was with Henninger and agreed he hit Yohey intentionally. Police observed damage to Henninger’s vehicle. Police asked Henninger to return to Circle Mart to show exactly where he was when he hit Yohey, advising him that he was not under arrest and would be returned home. He agreed. Henninger said he had not been drinking and agreed to provide a urine sample. He provided it and was transported back home. At this time police have been unable to contact Yohey. A friend who was at the scene said he thought he was homeless. Yohey has made no attempt to contact police since the incident. The report has been forwarded to the Darke County Prosecutor for a determination on how to proceed. OVI On May 4 police observed a blue Chevy Lumina west bound on Third Street. It traveled across the roadway into the east bound lane and was stopped for a traffic violation. The officer detected an odor of alcoholic beverage on the driver, Justin Hiatt. His speech was slurred, and he had bloodshot and glossy eyes. When asked, Hiatt said he had “a couple.” He also said he drove on the other side of the road because he heard someone yell. The suspect did poorly on the horizontal gaze portion of the field test, and refused the

walk and turn, and one leg stand, portions for “health issues.” He did poorly on other parts of the test. Hiatt was arrested and transported to Greenville Police where he refused the breath test. He was cited for OVI (Operating a Vehicle under the Influence), told his license was suspended and released to a friend. On May 3 police observed the defendant (unnamed in the report) traveling south bound on Ohio Street. He traveled several feet over the marked yellow line and was then stopped. His eyes were bloodshot and speech slurred, and he had a strong odor of alcoholic beverage on him. The officer had to ask the defendant for driver’s license, registration and insurance several times as he appeared confused and would often stare out his front windshield. He produced the information and police noted the defendant’s license was under suspension. He stated he’d just left the American Legion where he was watching a baseball game. The officer asked the defendant to exit the vehicle to perform a field sobriety test. The defendant tried but was unable to open the door so the officer did it for him. The defendant stumbled and lost his balance several times; the officer had to help keep him from falling. He did poorly on the test and was arrested for OVI. He failed the breath test, registering a blood alcohol count of .29. He was cited for OVI and Lanes of Travel violation. The defendant was placed on ALS suspension and released to his wife. UNDERAGE CONSUMPTION On April 27 Darke County Sheriff’s Of-

fice received a call from Brandon Finlay regarding Blake Tamplin following him in a black Grand Am. He said Tamplin had allegedly been threatening him with bodily harm. Police stopped the vehicle in an alley behind Martin Street on the suspicion of a menacing crime taking place. Also in the vehicle was Hunter Smith, sitting in the back seat next to several bottles of beer. She was asked for her I.D. and had trouble finding it. She had slurred speech and, a short time later, found the I.D. in her lap. She was 19. She was asked to perform a field sobriety test and did poorly on it. She was issued a citation for underage consumption. No charges were issued to Tamplin. DISORDERLY On April 29 police were dispatched to Greenville Police Department regarding an assault complaint. The victim, a juvenile, said he was at the high school waiting for a friend to get out of class. He met up with the friend and went to the skate park but was followed by the defendant, another juvenile. A short time later the friend left and the victim met with a cousin. They were skating when they witnessed the defendant pull up in

a vehicle and exit it with two other teenagers. According to the victim the defendant threw three to ten punches striking him in the face. He had a bloody nose and swollen cheek. The cousin said the victim also started swinging after he’d been hit. Another witness said he saw two kids fighting back and forth. The defendant said they were arguing and the victim attempted to hit him with his skateboard. Both parties then started to fight. There were no visible injuries on the defendant. Police determined the fight was mutual and both were cited for disorderly conduct within 1,000 feet of a school.

ship. Bob Evans has been a strong supporter of the organization’s food giveaway projects. Community volunteers partner with CAP to provide services for the Ohio Beneﬁt Bank and Emergency Homeless Shelter. Most recently, 164 residents received tax assistance through the Ohio Beneﬁt Bank. Thousands of residents are receiving help in Darke County every year thanks to CAP. Over 650 people were able to stay

warm this winter thanks to the Winter Crisis Program, and 150 low-income seniors take advantage of the commodity distribution where they get a 40lb box of food each month. Between 250-300 people are actively involved in the Metropolitan Housing Authority program. The goal of CAP is to get residents back on their feet and be productive citizens. Part of their mission is to eliminate the cause and conditions of poverty

and to promote individual independence and selfsufﬁciency. Janey Christman has successfully led Darke County’s CAP program for numerous years. John T. Donnellan, President & CEO of Community Action Partnership of Greater Dayton Area, said “Under the leadership of Janey Christman, Community Action Partnership has helped thousands of Darke County individuals and families in many ways:

transportation, housing, home weatherization, utility payment assistance, tax preparation assistance and many others. We are grateful to our many partners in Darke County that help us make a difference in people’s lives every day. We look back with pride on our 50-year history, and look forward to many more years of service to the community.” Programs offered by the local CAP ofﬁce include transportation

– general and medical, Darke Co. Metropolitan Housing Authority, rental and utility assistance, emergency homeless shelter, Salvation Army, Camp Swoneky for underprivileged children, weatherization assistance, commodities for seniors and clothing bank. For more information on how you can help or be helped by CAP, call 5488143. The Darke County ofﬁce is located at 1469 Sweitzer St., Greenville.

“Eric is a great addition,” Darke County Sheriff Toby L. Spencer told The Early Bird. “He is sure to make a major impact in the ﬁght on transporting of drugs into Darke County.” Eric lives at home with his partner, Deputy Pearson. “It helps build the bond that is necessary when doing this job,” Pearson said. Along with handling

calls locally, Eric and Deputy Pearson will respond to neighboring counties to assist when needed. The new K-9 Unit SUV is one of three new allwheel drive, V-6 fuel efﬁcient Ford custom model vehicles the department recently added to its ﬂeet. The vehicle Eric and Deputy Pearson utilize is equipped with many unique features, including an environmental monitoring system that acts as an on-board protection for the health of Eric.

The vehicle is equipped to keep the dog’s temperature comfortable and has an exterior alert system if it senses he is getting to warm. Deputy Pearson carries a remote control for the vehicle to activate

or disable the features, including opening the door to release Eric if a situation calls for his assistance. “Eric will not only be used in narcotics investigations, but also in

tracking lost individuals and fugitives on the run,” Sheriff Spencer added. “The department is deﬁnitely open to the idea of adding another dog in the future. Let’s see how things go for now,” he con-

cluded. Visit Bluebag Media’s YouTube channel at www. youtube.com/user/bluebagvideo or like us on Facebook to watch exclusive video of Eric during Tuesday’s training.

Avoid Problems by Updating Beneficiary Designations Like many people, you might not particularly enjoy thinking about your estate plans, but such planning is necessary to make sure your assets go where you want them to go. And it’s just as important to regularly review your plans with your tax, legal and financial professionals in case any changes are needed. For instance, some of your wishes expressed in your will may be overridden by beneficiary designations you filled out years ago. If these designations become outdated, your assets could be passed to those you didn’t intend. You might be surprised at how many of your financial assets and legal documents have beneficiary designations tied to them. If you have an IRA, a 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan, a life insurance policy, an annuity, a transfer-on-death (TOD) arrangement, or any of a variety of other assets or accounts, you almost certainly named a beneficiary. And this beneficiary designation offers a simple, direct and efficient way to get assets in the hands of your loved ones who survive you. However, as time goes by, you may experience many changes in your life — and when your life changes, your beneficiary designations may need to follow. But if you are like many people, you might forget to update these designations after a marriage, divorce or other change in your family situation. And because the beneficiary designation is a legally binding document, the asset will go to the person you once named as a beneficiary, regardless of your current relationship status. It really doesn’t take much effort to

look over your accounts and legal arrangements to ensure that your beneficiary designations are current — and if they aren’t, it’s pretty easy to change them. In fact, for some financial accounts, you may be able to update the beneficiary designations online. In any case, plan on reviewing your beneficiary designations regularly, but especially when you experience a change in your life. Here’s one more thing to keep in mind: Make sure your current beneficiaries are informed that they will eventually be receiving your 401(k), IRA, life insurance proceeds or other assets that require a beneficiary designation. This advance knowledge may help your loved ones as they plan and maintain their own financial and investment strategies. Although it’s clearly important for you to update your beneficiary designations and to communicate your actions, you will still need to attend to other areas of your estate planning, such as providing care for minor children or dependents, deciding who you want to receive specific items that do not carry a beneficiary designation, naming someone to manage your affairs should you become incapacitated, and specifying the control you wish your beneficiaries to have over their inheritance. These are just a few examples of estate-planning considerations. Because everyone’s situation is different, you will need to consult with your legal advisor to determine the level of estate planning you require. As we’ve seen, updating your beneficiary is one piece of the puzzle — but to leave the legacy you desire, you’ve got to complete the picture.

ON YOUR MIND

I Won the Bet this Year Ryan’s World by Ryan Berry Managing Editor I have heard your tastes – the things you enjoy eating – change every seven years. That explains why I no longer enjoyed my wife’s tuna casserole about the time I turned 35. Or, it could have been we were ﬁve years into our marriage and it was the only thing she knew how to make that didn’t come out of a box. It’s kind of funny, but that is about the same time I decided Hamburger Helper wasn’t all that great either. Let me clarify this a little so I don’t end up sleeping on the couch. By no stretch of the imagination am I insinuating my wife is a bad cook. I could never and would never say she is a bad cook. She doesn’t do it often enough for me to know. I’ve been noticing lately a lot of other things are changing as I grow older. I’m not even 50 and I do believe I’m already starting to shrink. It’s hard to tell without actually measuring, but my oldest daughter al-

most towers over me and my wife (who has always been slightly taller than me) now makes me feel like I should be singing, dancing and telling her to follow the yellow brick road, especially when she’s wearing heels (ruby red, of course). Parts of my body are also starting to go to pot. I should have prepared myself when I had to get bifocals for what was to come. I hardly ever go to the doctor. I know that’s bad on my part, but I don’t have a co-pay and we have a large deductible and my wife is cheap and I’m lazy. I prefer old fashioned medicine – rub some dirt on it and walk it off. I have only had one surgery and two stitches in my entire life. That surgery was to prevent us from becoming the Duggars. Children are a blessing, but two were blessing enough for my cup to runneth over. I’m still not sure if my wife agreed to the surgery because she was happy with two children or because I was going on a cruise to the Bahamas without her the following week. Ask her now and she will claim she is happy with only two kids – of course one is a teenager and the other is a pre-teen – who

needs birth control when you have kids that age. Earlier this year I was diagnosed with arthritis and a bone spur in my shoulder. Several thousand dollars later, my shoulder is getting better. My daughters still laugh at me because I can’t throw a ball yet, but I can at least slap them now. (I’m kidding, really I am.) Because of my aging body, we are very close to meeting our very high deductible this year. When we do, I guarantee our kids will be seeing the doctor for every snotty nose they have. It will be a monumental occasion. The last time we met our deductible was when our oldest daughter stuck a bead in her ear. They had to put her to sleep to surgically remove the bead. I wanted to hook up the Shop-Vac to get it out, but my wife wouldn’t let me. Although I’m thankful for it, I’m still not a big fan of insurance of any kind. The insurance companies are betting I’m going be a good driver and I’m not going to get sick and I’m betting I will have an accident or my arm will fall off. I guess I won the bet this year.

Jobs at the local Whirlpool Plant L a s t month, I was so excited to be joined by Senator Keith Faber and JIM BUCHY OHIO Governor REPRESENTATIVE John Kasich in Greenville to announce the expansion of the Greenville Whirlpool Plant. The Greenville Plant is truly a success story. The plant has been producing high quality stand mixers for as long as I have been alive, and longer. Recently, Whirlpool has even decided to begin producing hand mixers at the facility. These hand mixers were previously produced in a foreign country, but Whirlpool has seen the effectiveness of the plant, and has chosen to invest in the long term future of the plant, as well as Greenville. The expansion of the plant will result in both a physical expansion, and an increase in the workforce.

The $40 million capital investment will bring the facility from 260,000 square feet to 460,000, and will add 400 new jobs, bringing the total number of employees at the plant to 1,400. This will make Whirlpool the largest employer in Darke County. These new jobs will help to bring more hardworking residents of Darke County and the rest of west central Ohio into the labor force and help provide a better standard of living for many western Ohio families. While the addition of jobs is a victory in itself, it is important that we have well trained individuals who are ready to step into these positions. It is for this reason that Senator Faber and I are working hard to bring career training facilities to western Ohio. These facilities are of great importance because they will give residents of western Ohio the opportunity to learn advanced manufacturing skills,

making them attractive to employers like Whirlpool. Making these facilities accessible and affordable is a priority as I work to increase the number of working Ohioans and decrease the unemployment rate in western Ohio. Large companies like Whirlpool ﬁnd western Ohio attractive because of its workforce. By investing dollars in advanced manufacturing training programs, we will continue to attract businesses to our part of the state. This Whirlpool expansion in Greenville is a prime example of the economic trajectory of the state of Ohio. By lowering the cost of doing business, we are bringing jobs to Ohio, and new businesses are putting more of our residents to work. Here in Ohio, we’re on the right track.

Help stop littering GREENVILLE – Over 1,100 volunteers spent a weekend in April cleaning Darke County roadways. In this clean-up, 17,100 lbs. of debris and recyclables were collected by the volunteers and processed by Rumpke. In addition to being unsightly, litter can pose health and safety hazards to both people and wildlife. Studies have found that 1/2 of all litter is intentional and the

other half is “accidental.” Accidental means that debris blows out of a car window, from the bed of a truck or your trash can. The Darke County Solid Waste District and Rumpke reminds you to please follow the tips listed below for the best customer service and to help avoid littering. * Bag your trash to prevent spills. * Do not overﬁll your

container. * Make sure that the lid can be shut with ease. * Bulky materials including drywall, concrete, bricks, dirt or rocks are not acceptable. * You may request an extra trash container for an additional cost. * NO hazardous waste, electronics or computers, construction material, ashes, concrete, rocks, gravel, or like material, can be accepted.

St. Clair Memorial Hall will receive $500,000 in July GREENVILLE – Darke County Endowment for the Arts (DCEA) has been awarded $500,000 from the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission for the renovation of historic Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall. These funds which will be released July 1 were requested by the two Ohio Senators representing Darke County, Senate President Keith Faber and Senator William Beagle, and approved in the recently-passed state budget. Darryl Mehaffie, acting as an ambassador for the legislators, outlined the process behind the award at a meeting of the Endowment’s Trustees on April 18. Acting upon the belief that arts programs in counties with smaller populations are important but often overlooked by legislators, early in the year Senator Faber made initial inquiries as to Darke County projects in need of funding. Upon learning of the ongoing struggle to maintain and improve Darke County’s premier performance center, Faber enlisted the cooperation of Senator Beagle to secure state funding to make possible needed repairs and improvements. Darke County Endowment for the Arts (DCEA) was established to financially support the arts within the county, with the continuing preservation of Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall as a primary purpose of the non-profit organization. Additionally, the Endowment annually grants funds to individuals and organizations who apply for assistance with arts projects. Current Endowment Board members are Suzanne Brown, Marilyn Delk, David Feltman, Tom Graber, Barbara Greiner, Becky Hartnagle, and Andrea Jordan; Julie Strait is Endowment treasurer. DCEA trustees have been seriously discussing

plans to undertake a major renovation of St. Clair Memorial Hall for some time, and had begun to create a concrete plan of action to prioritize needs, establish estimated costs, and raise funds. Last October, the Endowment Board contracted with local resident Matt Jordan to bring form and structure to the then still-nebulous project. At the Board’s request, Jordan performed an initial evaluation and made recommendations for moving forward. A major remaining question was how to raise sufficient funds in a timely fashion to accomplish established goals. “And then, Darryl Mehaffie contacted Darke County Center for the Arts’ officials about Senator Faber’s concerns, inquiring about existing needs that might be appropriately addressed with funds provided from Ohio’s state budget. Darke County Center for the Arts (DCCA) fulfills its mission to culturally enrich our community by presenting diverse outstanding performing artists. Many of those presentations take place at St. Clair Memorial Hall; Senator Faber was directed to the Endowment’s Memorial Hall project as an area of real need,” said Marilyn Delk, president of the Darke County Endowment for the Arts board. “For years, Darryl has been instrumental in keeping our community’s arts organization in touch with our governmental representatives; Darryl’s efforts and influence greatly heightened state level awareness of the vibrant and vital arts component in our community,” Mrs. Delk explained. Additionally, Mrs. Delk believes that without the trustee’s earlier decision to contract Mr. Jordan’s services, the opportunity to follow through on Senator Faber’s request would have been lost, asserting

that Jordan is uniquely qualiﬁed to manage the Hall’s renovation. With a degree in Theater and an MFA in Theater Technology and Design, Matt had supervised the technical aspects of multiple productions at Cain Park in Cleveland Heights before becoming a lecturer and technical director at Vanderbilt University. While working as an Assistant Professor of Technical Theater at Western Washington University, he oversaw the entire process of installing new lighting in two of the ﬁve theaters of which he was in charge, from writing grants to actual system installation. “Matt used his vast experience and knowledge to not only pull together vital information to establish priorities and a pos-

sible budget for us, but had it so well-organized that he was able to almost immediately turn around a well-prepared response for Senator Faber,” she stated. Speaking for the DCEA board, Mrs. Delk extended deep gratitude to Senator Faber and Senator Beagle. “Our Senators’ consideration of this project and their efforts to make this almost unbelievable possibility a reality is appreciated more than words can adequately express,” Mrs. Delk said. “We are still giddy with joy and disbelief, but are working hard to culminate a plan of action so that Henry and Ella St. Clair’s legacy can continue to serve our community well for future generations,” she concluded.

Afraid to speak up BY DALE CURTIS Are we being led astray by our inability to realize we are being led astray? Or, because our attention is focused on what we want instead of being focused on what God wants for us? God states we should obey the government because he put it in place! Yet, He does give us instructions on how to fix it! Why aren’t we fixing the government using his instructions? Why are we allowing ourselves to be lead around like sheep with a shepherd? Remember, we do have a Shepherd. His name is Jesus. We continue to forget much of what has happened to us is our own fault. We do not vote for various reasons. Then blame the politicians because the person we wanted in office got rejected. When we could have helped change the outcome by voting. We complain about everything, but take no further action. “We need to make it known throughout this

country we want God leading us. We want Jesus to walk with us through life. We have to show and convince God our intentions are real and sincere. God’s help is wanted and needed by all of us. When will we devote ourselves to Jesus? Only he knows how far He wants us to go. The important thing here and now is to focus on getting to know Jesus the way He wants us to know Him. He can and will help us change the world. Will we let Him help or will we continue to push Him away? Why are we so afraid of speaking up? This is our country and we need to help keep it from further deterioration. We are not sheep without a Shepherd. We have a Shepherd – Jesus. We have to put our love, faith, trust and obedience back in God’s hand. We have to be willing to surrender to God’s will, totally and completely surrender to God’s will. We have to remember God always know what is best for us.

Lawn and Garden Tip of the Week

A spacious 4-bedroom apartment sits above the Bistro Off Broadway. This view shows the sitting area and a mural painted by Amy Walls.

Local history was unveiled during First Friday tour BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOCIATE EDITOR GREENVILLE – Margaret Howard was the only female to serve as Sheriff in Darke County history. She lived above the former jail, now the Darke County Commissioners Building. She became the Jail Matron when her husband, Bob, was elected Sheriff in 1964. He served as Sheriff from 1965 until his unexpected death in March 1966. Margaret was sworn in as Sheriff in April and served until Jim Irwin was elected in 1968. “My mother the sheriff,” said Judy Jones, smiling. She and her son, Robert Howard Jones, were on hand to talk to visitors to the Commissioners Building during Main Street Greenville’s First Friday Upper Floor Tour on May 2. Daughter and grandson said she was a special lady who had an impact on the life of many of the jail’s ‘residents.’ “There was one in particular who had been paid to drive a horse trailer. The job unknowingly involved him in a misdemeanor offense. He’d never been in trouble; he was in the wrong place at the wrong time,” Judy said. “Mrs. Howard saw the fright in his eyes and was good to him. He never forgot that.

He came back for her funeral six years ago.” The Commissioners Building was one of five official stops on the First Friday tour, planned to celebrate Historic Preservation Month. “There are lots of people here,” said Amber Garrett, Executive Director of Main Street Greenville. “I’m very excited!” Each location had stories of its history which were handed out to visitors on arrival. Volunteers were running out of their history sheets before the evening was over. Above Countryside Bike Shop, at 301 S. Broadway on the Circle, is the fabled ‘Masonic Building.” Originally built in 1855, the building only had two floors. Kipp Drug Store occupied the ground floor while the Home Telephone Office and Exchange was on the second. In 1907 third and fourth floors were added to be used by the Masonic Lodge. The Lodge was there until sometime in the 1960s. According to a volunteer the Masonic Building is always the biggest visitor request with its tall vaulted ceilings, hanging chandeliers and wall sconces. The building in which Studio One Hair Design is located, 620 S. Broadway, was built in 1891 and is listed on the U.S. Historic Registry. Prior to 1964 the building was a seed store. Hannah’s purchased the store in 1955 and stayed in that location before moving to 5411 S.R. 36 in 1964. Youman’s Company was a successful printing, labeling and signage company for many years. The earliest information available on 438 S. Broadway, above Sweet

GREENVILLE – Brought to you by Flory Landscaping and Lawn Care Inc., Greenville, Your Landscape/ Gardening tip of the week: Dandelions are a perennial broad-leaf weed that is a large yellow ﬂower then turns into a puffy seed head when the seeds are ready to be released. In the wind, the round ﬂuffy seed ball can scatter seeds throughout your yard easily and fast. Dandelions have a thick and long taproot that is able grow to a length of 20 inches or more. People always ask how to kill the dandelions. Dandelions grow best in the spring and early fall. To get rid of the weed, you must dig out the en-

tire root, but for a little easier way, you can use a selective herbicide that only kills weeds and not your grass. Spray dandelions on windless days when the temperature is higher than 60 degrees with a recommended 24-D product. How to prevent dandelions from growing in your yard is by mowing your grass higher making the soil cool and restricted for growth of annual weeds. Scalping your lawn is an open invitation for weeds. You should frequently mow in a high setting because weeds can’t form seed heads if the tops keep getting chopped off. Good Luck!

Scholarship for Greenville grads Judy Jones and Robert Howard Jones, daughter and grandson of Margaret Howard, Darke County’s only female sheriff, point out some of the unique aspects of the former Darke County Jail, now the Commissioners Building.

Annie’s Cabin, was a harness shop in 1857. Over ensuing decades the building was the home of a number of grocery stores, including Vance’s Grocery. The second floor is occupied by Handshoe Photography and a collaboration of businesses by Gary Handshoe and his daughters. The third floor has not been renovated but may have been in use for a while by the Darke County Drama Society. Its walls are covered by graffiti, including the names of prominent judges and attorneys from the late 1800s and early 1900s. The building currently occupied by The Bistro Off Broadway at 117 E. 5th St., Ted Abney, proprietor, was built in 1905. It was used as Greenville’s first National Guard Armory and at one point housed Hobart Corporation and Whirlpool. According to Bill Booker, it was used as a ‘Rag Factory’ during WWI. It has been a furniture store, chicken hatchery, bowling alley, tractor dealership, opera house and prior to the Bistro it was Bumpers Bar, owned by Kenny Bolin. The second floor apartment is impressive, a spacious area with four bedrooms, kitchen and a balcony mural painting by Amy Walls.

An unofficial tour of the Greenville Library was offered by Director John Vehre and Asst. Director Susi Halley. The library was built in 1903, then expanded and renovated in 2007 to occupy 20,500 sq. ft. When first built, the bottom floor housed the museum, which then moved to its current Garst location in 1947.

Rehab project uncovers origins ARCANUM – Part three of National Historic Preservation Month series written by the Arcanum Wayne Trail Historical Society. This week’s feature is the North home located at 306 South Locust St., Arcanum. According to Doug and Connie North, present owners, the home was purchased by them in 1998. Asbestos siding was removed and the original house number was discovered and then siding was installed as well as 20 windows, an upstairs bathroom, new kitchen, furnace and air conditioning. The wood work is painted and includes transoms. One of the features original to the home was an old ﬁreplace that was found and exposed and converted to gas for present day use. Connie likes “old things”

in decorating so this old house ﬁts their style. According to research by Bill Gunder and Anita Short, this was known as the Kaylor house and sat on the east side of South Main immediately south of the Big Four railroad and was the location later of the Canning Factory. This would be today close to the Arcanum Hardware Store. By 1910, the C.C.C. & St. L. Railroad Company owned the former Kaylor Home and lot. While the Kaylors’ originally owned much of the property surrounding their home, most was gradually sold to the railroad, with the home ﬁnally also being sold to the railroad. The Kaylor Home was moved from South Main to South Locust Street, south of the old NYC railroad bed and is the

LOCAL Darke County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce recognizes its own

SUNDAY, MAY 11, 2014

BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER GREENVILLE - The Darke County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce held its annual awards ceremony May 7 at the VFW in Greenville. The event is held to recognize staff and individuals that play a key role in the continued success of the department. Sheriff Toby L. Spencer awarded plaques to special guests, recognizing them for volunteering time to help the department during different times throughout the year. Awarded were Gaylen Blosser, Jerry Bunch, Jerry Hughes and members of Hittle Buick & GMC. Awards for commendation and appreciation were handed out from various departments. Recognized were Anita Bevins (Commendation);

Kelly Erisman, Alisa Henninger, Sergeant William Walker and Rick Bohn (Appreciation). Dispatcher Miles Stump was given an Award of Merit for going above and beyond the call of duty, according to 9-1-1 Coordinator Melissa Hawes. Finally, several officers and staff were recognized by their peers as standing out over the last year. Corporal Tim Nichols was awarded Correction Officer of the Year; Sergeant Chris Clark, who is now a narcotics detective, was named Deputy of the Year by his fellow officers; Greg and Gery Armstrong were recognized as Auxiliary Deputies of the Year; and the honor of Dispatcher of the Year was awarded to Angela Alexander. Several officers were recognized for milestone

years of service to the department. Det. Rodney Baker, Deputy Tom Nichols, Corporal Tim Nichols, Capt. Ted Bruner and Deputy Glen Curtis have all been on the force for 20-24 years. Det. Sgt. Mike Burns, Deputies Doug and Scott Riffle have 25-29 years of service; while celebrating 30 plus years were Sergeant William Walker, Corporal Cindy Enicks and Deputy Doug Back (Chaplain). New staff members were recognized that have joined the department since September 2013: Corrections Officer Krysten Wilson, Deputies Shane Hatfield, Matt Prickett and Jamie Joseph, and the new secretary of the investigations department, Stacy McMiller. The evening concluded with the official swearing

in of the new K-9 unit. Eric, the 3-year-old German Shepherd is now an active deputy, along with his handler and partner Deputy Jay Pearson.

“I have heard nothing but good things coming from the public in what we are doing,” Chief Deputy Mark Whittaker said. “Keep up the good work!”

Sheriff Spencer thanked Nancy Isch and the staff at the VFW Post 7262 for donating their time and facility to accommodate the event.

Over 200 children and seniors take part in EZ ID event BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR GREENVILLE – Is it okay to take your picture? She grinned then whispered in her mother’s ear… “It’s okay if I look cute in it,” mom repeated for her. She looked at the photo and nodded her approval. She was happy. She looked cute. Kenzie Glass, 5, was one of 206 children and senior citizens who had EZ ID CDs printed for them May 3. Mom Kristil Glass said this was a great idea. “It will help keep kids safe if something were to happen,” she added. The Moose Lodge was packed with children, adults and volunteers from the time the doors opened at 11 a.m. until it wrapped up around 4 p.m. They started with six computers but soon had to put two more into service. Participants met Rage and Rocko the ﬁre dogs and Tommy the Moose. One toddler kept trying to give Rage a kiss; while Mason and Morgan Schisler gave Tommy a big hug. Hamburglar got a hug from Abbigail Quinter from Versailles

so he wouldn’t steal any more hamburgers. Also scheduled were Sparkey the fire dog, McGruff the crime dog and Ronald McDonald. Volunteers took participants’ fingerprints and photos (front, sides and back views) and placed them directly onto CDs. In addition they got ‘voice prints’ by asking pertinent questions such as “how do you get home from school, where do you like to play, who is your best friend and where do you go when you’re upset?” Jessica Landis had her two children there; Charles 2, and Aurora 4. “If anything happens I have their I.D.s. We can find them. This is a good idea!” Services provided also included weight and height measurements by Family Health and DNA swabs by the Darke County Sheriff’s Office. Additional information was provided by Greenville Police, Fire and Township EMS, Red Cross, Emergency Management and Veterans Services. CareFlight was a popular attraction for many

participants, including Kinzie and Keirsten Fourman. They got to sit in the helicopter and ask questions of the medical specialists. Their mom, Amy Fourman, liked the idea of the I.D. CDs. “It’s something to have in case something happens.” Keirsten, a GJHS seventh grader liked the idea as well. “I don’t expect anything to happen,” she said, “but it’s good if something does.” Kinzie, a Woodland kindergartener, didn’t care. She was having fun picking up every single ﬂyer and booklet on every table in the room. As mom was putting them into one of several plastic bag handouts, she said “Kinzie is a reader. She reads every one of these.” While most computers were used for school age (and younger) children, one or two were set aside for senior citizens. Dianne Gibble thought it was a good idea. “I don’t really have anybody,” she said. “It’s a safe measure, worth having.” She plans to give the CD to her attorney.

Ed Floyd, the Moose volunteer who put the event together, noted about $275 was on hand from the fundraisers held. This will be split up among the ﬁrst response agencies that helped make the event a success. Ronald Porter, director of research, Safe Surﬁn’ Foundation, contacted Floyd with congratulations for a suc-

cessful event. “By far you organized one of the very best ‘sessions’ which has been held!” he said. “The number of children ID’d was outstanding!” Porter added the Lodge could be proud of its team effort and the leadership of the individual most largely responsible for making the session take place. Floyd thanked Moose International and Safe

Surﬁn’ for working together to make the program possible. He especially thanked the businesses and organizations who donated time, money and products to support the event, and the volunteers for giving up their Saturday. “We’re a family fraternity,” Floyd said. “It’s what we should be doing.”

Drugs and the destruction of neighborhoods BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR GREENVILLE – “State legislatures legalizing marijuana are dealing with death rates they never anticipated,” Joe VanVickle, Medical Examiner with the Darke County Coroner’s Ofﬁce, told about 50 parents and students May 6 at Greenville High School. VanVickle, Darke County Chief Deputy Sheriff Mark Whittaker and two Deputy Sheriff drug enforcement ofﬁcers have been making drug presentations in Darke County’s school districts. Their latest stop was Greenville. “Because of the hybrids,” VanVickle noted after the presentation, “the THC content is so dramatically increased it is resulting in THC overdoses leading to death.” He noted THC content in marijuana used to be about 5 percent; today it can be as much as 40 or 50 percent.

Mark Whittaker, Darke County Chief Deputy Sheriff (right) shows parents and students different examples of real drugs taken from raids or other arrests of those using or selling drugs. Whittaker and two drug enforcement deputies kept close track of the items, but used them to reinforce their presentation.

He added marijuana is deﬁnitely a gateway drug. “Regular users at some point realize they need ‘more’ (a better high).” That leads to meth and heroin. The drug enforcement ofﬁcers had earlier talked about other drugs, such as inhalants, cocaine and LSD. Cigarettes and

alcohol were noted by attendees, mostly students, as drugs. “Both of those (alcohol and tobacco) are legal – obviously not for students – but they are still drugs,” said one of the drug enforcement ofﬁcers. Prescription drugs were good “if prescribed for you” and

emergency room. Some of those who survive are brain damaged, or end up on a respirator and can no longer function. He said “drug abuse is an epidemic”… then painted a ‘picture’ of life with addiction. “The quality of life changes dramatically.” Addiction leads to neglect and abuse, children and the elderly. Neighborhoods start to decline. Parents start to change. Children begin to see what’s happening… “There’s nothing worse than a child running out to us with arms outstretched, wearing nothing but a dirty diaper that hasn’t been changed in a long time.” He said this used to be someone else’s problem. Not anymore. No longer is it a big city problem. “It’s happening now in our small rural community.”

PAWS BINGO Cosmic Bingo - 1st Friday Every Month

Whittaker told the group it’s like the brain gets “rewired.” They have to have it and will do just about anything to get it. They will steal from parents, their kids, their friends… total strangers. Just to get the next ‘fix.’ He added telling an addict to stop using is like telling someone else to stop breathing for 15 minutes. He can’t do it. In 2013 there were six accidental deaths attributed to drug overdoses. In the first two months of 2014 there have already been five. This doesn’t count suicides and drugrelated accidents. Whittaker told of one individual who passed out in the middle of the highway, and what could have happened… there were two children asleep in the back of her vehicle. VanVickle noted for every death he does, Wayne Healthcare sees 10 to 12 drug incidents in its

used as directed; not good if used by someone else. While a variety of drugs were discussed, each with the capability of damaging health or leading to death, the focus was mostly on marijuana and heroin. Marijuana impacts memory and learning, perception, and makes thinking and coordination difficult. Heroin is highly addictive; the nature of the dependence is the need for larger and larger amounts. “Addicts are always chasing that high, the one they had the first time they used it (heroin),” VanVickle said. “They never reach it.” Their bodies become dependent on it. “These guys going through withdrawal look horrible. It’s like the worst case of flu I’ve ever seen.” The audience was shown photos of a series of addicts… before using drugs, then 10 years later after starting on drugs. The changes were dramatic.

Anna Price

this same kind of care to others.” She is a 2010 graduate of the Miami Valley Career Technology Center. Her interest in patient care has centered on caring for those facing end of life. “I ﬁnd it very gratifying to give comfort and care toward the end of one’s life,” she explained. Price has been praised by her coworkers for the help and guidance she gives to new staff members, offering her skills and insight. Families praise her for her care and compassion. One family member wrote of her, “You sure do make it easier at the end.” Gifts donated in her honor have ranged from $100 to $500, with one family honoring her with a $1,000 donation to

State of the Heart. According to Ryan Gathard, Fund Development Director for State of the Heart, the program has raised over $5,000, all of which is directed to patient care support. State of the Heart provides care to anyone who needs care regardless of ability to pay. The agency also provides free bereavement support, free music therapy, and offers a free camp annually called Camp BEARable which is for youth experiencing grief and loss. “We know that our families are very appreciative of the care their loved one has received, and they want to express their appreciation in a meaningful way,” he said. “The Shining Star program enables them to do this.” Over 70 State of the Heart Hospice employees have received one or more Shining Stars. Price explained how she approaches each new patient: “When I go into the house my ﬁrst thought is to ﬁnd out what their

needs are. I listen, not just to the patient, but to the rest of the family and their friends.” She ﬁnds great satisfaction, she said, when she leaves a patient’s home knowing she has provided help and comfort to that patient and family. Price is grateful for the support in her job from her co-workers. “They care about me,” she said. “They are very understanding and helpful. We are always aware of what one another’s needs are because we know that the ultimate result is the best help and care for the patient. The honor is nice to hear and I appreciate it as it reinforces what I do. I realize that God put me here for a reason and that is to do the job I do every day.” State of the Heart Hospice, which is observing 33 years of service to area communities, cares for patients and families who are confronting a life limiting illness. For more information visit the agency web site at www.stateoftheheartcare.org.

Camp BEARable is July 11-13 MARIA STEIN – Youth dealing with grief and loss issues have the opportunity to join other young people in the community at the fourteenth annual State of the Heart Hospice Camp BEARable July 1113. The camp is free and is open to any youth ages six to 15 dealing with grief and loss and is held at the Spiritual Center at Maria Stein. It is not necessary to have had an association with hospice care “The feedback we get from both the youth who attend and the adult volunteers assigned to them as trained camp “buddies” is wonderful and reinforces the value

of the camp,” said Traci Straley, Director of Social Services for State of the Heart. Volunteers are an important part of the success of the camp experience and are always needed, she added. Registration is required to attend the camp. Applications can be found on the agency’s web site at www. stateoftheheartcare.org and can be downloaded and mailed to the agency. “Each year, we hear the same feedback on our surveys, and I think this tells us we are fulﬁlling a need in our community,” Straley said. Straley ex-

plained that children ﬁnd the camp environment to be a “safe place” where they can talk openly about their feelings. “Often, they learn from one another, and more importantly, they hear other youth their same age talking about their grief and they realize they are not alone. For many, it opens the door to talk about their feelings rather than keeping their grief bottled up.” Last year, 64 youth attended the camp. Of that number only 10 had association with hospice care. “A very important part of the camp is the volunteer aspect,” Straley explained.

“The volunteers spend time with the youth. They talk with them, listen to them, and share their own experiences.” An orientation is required for volunteers who help with Camp BEARable, Straley said. “We are looking for volunteers to help and are encouraging any youth who would like to attend to contact us,” she said. For more information about the camp, contact any member of the State of the Heart bereavement team at bereavementservices@ stateoftheheartcare.org or call and ask to speak a bereavement staff member at 1-800417-7535.

CPR-First Aid class GREENVILLE – If you would like to join the Red Cross family and become a life saver, join them on May 17, 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m., for CPR and First-Aid Class. The Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/ AED course incorporates the latest science and teaches students to recognize and care for a variety of ﬁrst aid emergencies such as burns, cuts, scrapes, sudden illnesses, head, neck, back injuries, heat and cold emergencies and how to respond to breathing and cardiac emergencies to help victims of any age - adults (about 12 years and older) and pediatric (infants and children up to 12 years of age). Students who successfully complete this course will receive a certiﬁcate for Adult and Pediatric First Aid/ CPR/AED valid for two years. This fast-paced, hand-on class is being taught by local volunteer Mary Lane, an extraordinary instructor, willing to give up her time, to teach others how to save lives. No one wants to think about someone getting injured or becoming ill, but a responsible step is to be prepared and by preparing yourself and your family for an emergency you also help prepare our community to be a safer place to live work and play. “So often I hear, what can I do to help”, stated

Lynne Gump, Executive Director of the Darke County Chapter American Red Cross, “I understand that taking the time to train is a commitment, but knowing what to do if someone is hurt or has a heart attack, that knowledge and the ability to help is priceless.” For more information on how you can become a lifesaver, go online at www.redcross.org and register under training and certification or simply call 1-800-REDCROSS and get signed up today. Class is being held at the Darke County Chapter office, 130 Martz Street, Greenville. Class size is limited and spots are made available on a first come-first signed up basis. For more information, please visit www. redcross.org/oh/greenville or visit us on Twitter at DarkeCyRedCross or join us on Facebook.

YFC prepares for Chicago bike trip GREENVILLE – “We still talk about the bike trips!” Occasionally YFC staff members will hear a comment like this from someone who went on a bicycle trip with Youth for Christ as much as 20, 25, or even 30 years ago. Their experiences were so meaningful and their memories are so treasured that the YFC bike trips are still in people’s conversation decades after they took place. On June 9-14, a whole new group of young people will have the opportunity to experience the impact of such an adventure for themselves. “The Chicago Expedition” will take local teenagers on a trek from Greenville to Chicago, IL, pedaling every inch of the way. The adventure will begin with breakfast provided by a local restaurant; then riders will assemble in groups of six, including an adult leader in each riding team. Spaced a few min-

utes apart, each of these teams will then begin the four day, 275 mile journey to the downtown Chicago lakefront. For sure, the ride will include its share of challenges including sore muscles, ﬂat tires, and periods of wind and rain. But overcoming these tests, and perhaps even some doubts about whether it can be done, all become part of the stories that are retold year after year. Just imagine the

BPW hosts Snooty YFC Golf Classic Fox shopping trip

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Business & Professional Women’s (BPW) Club is sponsoring a Snooty Fox Shopping outing on May 31. The bus will depart from Greenville at 8 a.m. at the Brethren Retirement Center (back parking lot) and return around 6 p.m. You will be provided a comfortable ride and snacks while you are chauffeured to different high-end Snooty Fox consignment locations in and around the Cincinnati area. A Panera lunch will be provided at one of the stops. There will be plenty of storage for the items you may purchase in the luggage area of the bus. Some of the locations have furniture and home décor items. This event has been organized to support

the scholarship project sponsored by the Greenville BPW. All proﬁts will be deposited to the scholarship project account. Tickets are $60. Reservations and money must be received by May 19. This will be an incredibly fun day to support a valuable commitment to tomorrow’s working women. Reservations should be sent to Deb Smith, c/o Second National Bank, PO Box 130, Greenville, Ohio 45331. Include your name, address, phone number and if you prefer turkey or roast beef for the boxed lunch from Panera Bread. Make checks out to Greenville BPW Club. If you have questions, call Deb Smith at 547-2540 or 417-2434, Gail Snyder at 423-4854 or Susan Fowble at 5481414.

GREENVILLE – June 25 will be the date as Youth for Christ of the Miami Valley holds its 22nd annual Golf Classic at the White Springs Golf Club. YFC’s annual golf classic is always a popular day with local golfers and an important part of furthering the ministry of Youth for Christ. One of the reasons YFC’s tournament is so well liked is because of the delicious food that is served throughout the day. That experience is enhanced even more for those who choose to participate in a “Gold Class Upgrade.” By contributing or raising double the registration fee for the event, “Gold Class” players receive additional beneﬁts such as steak sandwiches, complimentary golf shirt, and chair massage. These “Gold Class” amenities will continue to be revealed throughout the day, adding an extra measure of fun to the event and increasing the

amount of money raised for Youth for Christ programs. Another reason people enjoy YFC’s Golf Classic is because of the many prizes that are available. Golfers are encouraged to solicit pledges rather than “paying to play” to more greatly benefit Youth for Christ. Some still choose to simply pay their own registration, but wonderful prizes await those who are successful in raising the most money. This year’s top four fundraisers will choose between a golf trip at Deer Creek State Park Resort, two quality golf clubs, a $100 Ace gift card, or a $100 sporting goods gift card.
