Citizens question pool fees for swim team

BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR GREENVILLE – “How is it going to look when the Greenville Swim Team has to go to (the) Arcanum (swimming pool) for financial reasons?”

Greenville resident Scott Miller told the Greenville City Council at its regular meeting May 20 he was frustrated “to even have to come here” about the issue.

The Greenville Parks Board wants $5,000 to use the city pool. The Ar-

canum pool is available for $1,500.

“This is unacceptable,” he said. Miller was speaking on behalf of his wife, Shelly, and the nearly 25 young swimmers and parents sitting in the audience. He told Council Shelly was trying to provide something the city can’t. She volunteers her time and expertise for the swim team. They didn’t understand why the Board had to have that much money. “We can’t do it,” Shelly said.

“We have 50 kids. They can’t afford that.”

Shelly told Council she had asked if she could meet with the Board to discuss it; she was told a meeting wasn’t necessary. That’s the bottom line.

Council members told the Millers several times the City Council provides funding for the Parks Board. It has no control over how the money is used. Council member John Baumgardner was sitting in for absent

Council President John Burkett. Noting he’d had concerns with Parks Board actions in the past, he said “I feel your pain.”

Council member Todd Oliver agreed, saying “I understand what you are saying.”

Council Member Tracy Tryon reiterated they simply provide the funding for the board; they have no control over how it chooses to use

The Early Bird’s logo has a name GREENVILLE – After sorting through hundreds of entries, The Early Bird and Bluebag Media’s iconic logo has a new name – Scoop. Theresa Smith received a 10-inch Samsung Galaxy 3 Tablet for providing the winning entry.

Smith is originally from Darke County, having graduated from Arcanum High School, but now lives in Troy. She admitted she likes to stay up-to-date on news and events from her home county. “The Early Bird and Bluebag Media keeps me informed every day,” she said. She noted the tablet will now let her stay better connected.

The decision was not easy as there where many great and creative names entered. Some wanted the bird named after one of

their loved ones and others felt it should be named after the paper’s namesake, with several variations of Earl Lee Bird.

Others took a comedic approach and felt the name should be Flip or Flipping.

Although the staff felt it was a super name, Lark Kent would have required a phone booth be added to the logo.

The staff would like to thank everyone who entered the Name the Bird contest.

Christion Paris, exited the vehicle and said, “You got me.� According to the police report he then removed a clear baggie containing a green substance from his pants pocket and placed it on the trunk of his vehicle.

He stated it was weed; it looked and smelled like marijuana. No other illegal substances were found on the defendant or in his vehicle. Paris said he was not valid to drive and did not have insurance; he also admitted to not wearing his seat belt. BMV conďŹ rmed he had no driving privileges due to a drug suspension.

what the ofďŹ cer believed to be marijuana. The juvenile was cited for drug abuse.

FIGHT On May 12 police responded to the 400 block of East Third Street regarding a report of yelling between a man and a woman. The woman had fresh scrapes on her knees and stated she’d tried to leave the area with a random car but the driver pushed her out while the vehicle was moving. The male said he knew the driver, noting no one had pushed her out. The woman, possibly a juvenile (age not noted on the report), had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage. She stated she’d had two beers earlier in the evening. She did poorly on the ďŹ eld test. The woman then started to run. She was chased then suddenly stopped, saying she was scared. She was transported to Greenville Police Department and Greenville Rescue was contacted regarding her injuries. She was transported to Wayne Emergency at her request. She was cited there for Underage Consumption.

JUVENILE On May 13 police were dispatched to Greenville Police Department regarding an assault complaint by a Greenville High School student. He said he had been assaulted by another student in the parking lot of the school. After unsuccessfully trying to remove himself from the situation, he fought back until the ďŹ ght was broken up by a staff member and another student. Police were able to view a video of the incident which conďŹ rmed the student’s story. The assailant will be cited for assault.

On May 15 police were dispatched to Juvenile Court at the request of a juvenile probation ofďŹ cer regarding an unruly juvenile. The juvenile was extremely upset with her father and yelling and screaming at him about how “she needed help.â€?

The probation ofďŹ cer said the juvenile also grabbed the father’s phone and tore his hoodie; she was ready to take the juvenile to West Central. The juvenile resisted arrest and required three ofďŹ cers to handcuff her without injuring her. She was then transported to West Central by the probation ofďŹ cer.

On May 14 police were dispatch to Greenville High School regarding a juvenile who had allegedly held a knife to a

bus driver’s throat and told him to drive him to Tennessee. The juvenile wanted to ďŹ nd and “killâ€? his dad for hurting him, his mom and his brother.

The youth was restrained and transported to Wayne ER for a mental evaluation. Tri-County Mental Health responded and indicated the youth would be transported to a mental health hospital.

The juvenile was issued a citation for Aggravated Menacing.

WARRANTS On May 19 police were dispatched to the Darke County Courthouse regarding Alex Honesto, who had an active arrest warrant from GPD. Honesto was there for a pretrial hearing. Once his plea was entered he was taken into custody on the warrant, original charge of theft. Police were also advised Zachary Wilkerson was about to be sentenced in Municipal Court and would need to be transported to the Darke County jail. Both defendants were then transferred to the jail.

Wilkerson is to serve 70 days, no bond. Honesto’s bond is $2,025.

ROBBERY On May 14 police were dispatched to 418 Warren St. regarding a robbery complaint. Michael Bunger stated he was invited into the house of a friend. When he got inside another indi-

vidual (which he named) along with two unknown subjects, came from the kitchen and tackled him.

He was hit in the face with a closed ďŹ st seven or eight times then placed in a head lock. Bunger’s friend allegedly reached into his pocket and took out $120. All suspects ran after that. Bunger had a small bleeding scratch on the front of his neck, slight swelling to the left side of his face and complained of soreness to his jaw. A witness stated the named individual told Bunger to “give me your s**tâ€? and pried Bunger’s hand open to retrieve what she believed to be a drug. She stated she never saw any money taken. Police took statements from Bunger and the witness.

Mote & Associates celebrates Engineer’s Week GREENVILLE - In recognition of National Engineer’s Week, February 16–23, 2014, Mayor Mike Bowers of Greenville signed a proclamation along with engineers from Mote & Associates, Inc. and the Greenville High School Engineering Tech Prep Class (a basic engineering program for juniors and seniors) taught by Mr. Christopher Sykes.

The Mote engineers mentored the students as they worked on their designs of a balsam wood ‘Gantry Frame’. Then they served as judges in the annual “Engineer’s Week Challengeâ€? which consisted of the construction and breaking of the frames by 14 different teams of students in the class. The winners of the “Engineer’s Week Challengeâ€? were students Cheyann Beam, Sam Cox, Drew Elliott, and Caleb Oda and their teacher, Mr. Sykes, were rewarded with certiďŹ cates and a gift from Mote & Associates.

Participants from Mote & Associates included Michael Bruns, Michael Henderson, Sean Kahlig, and Jerry McClannan.

Also in celebration of Engineer’s Week, Mote & Associates, Inc. held their 11th annual complimentary seminar at the Darke County Parks Shawnee Prairie facility on February 18th. This year’s session was a workshop presented to local municipalities to help assist and educate them on the importance of ‘Planning for their Community’. Attendees received valuable information on the steps to prepare successful planning documents. The session included an interactive session where the group began initiating a ‘Five Year Plan’ for each of their communities.

Mote & Associates is a Civil Engineering & Surveying Company located at 214 West Fourth Street in Greenville and consists of 15 employees. They also promote careers in engineering in other ways. They sponsor a scholarship in the spring, encourage student mentorships throughout the school year, and hire engineering interns as warranted by their work load.

9-1-1 dispatchers train for mental crisis calls TROY - Thirteen 9-1-1 dispatchers from Darke, Miami and Shelby counties, including Sidney and Greenville police dispatchers, completed an all-day training seminar in recognizing and dealing with emergency calls from persons with mental illness or in crisis. The training was conducted by the Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services at the Board’s Marianne Helmlinger Training Room in Troy March 13.

The program consists of a review of mental illness types, causes and symptoms, structured de-escalation techniques, and scenario-based training. The main presenter was Jodi Long, LISW, LICDC, Director of Clinical Services and Evaluation for the Tri-County Board. Speaking on deescalation techniques from the perspective of a law enforcement officer was Sgt. Stephanie Black of the Tipp City Police Department.

Also addressing the class was Meredith Grosvenor of Troy and volunteer for the National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI) chapter in Miami County, who related the experience of mental health crisis involving 9-1-1 dispatchers and police officers from the perspective of the person in crisis.

Long said the purpose of the training is to “provide information and techniques for handling crisis calls involving a person in or experiencing a mental health cri-

sis. It’s a small fraction of the total number of calls dispatchers handle in any given shift, but the stakes may be very high, such as in a threatened suicide, where the safety of the caller or responding officer or EMT may depend on a quick and accurate assessment of the situation.”

In the scenario-based training, staff from the Tri-County Board, from SafeHaven, and from Darke County Recovery Services placed simulated 9-1-1 emergency calls from persons exhibiting various symptoms and severity of mental health conditions. Each training participant had to quickly engage the caller, assess the situation and resolve the crisis.

The training for 9-1-1 Dispatchers is a companion course to the Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) Academy for Law Enforcement Officers.

The four-day intensive training will be April 28-May 1. The CIT Academy and companion courses are presented at no charge by the TriCounty Board, with additional support from NAMI Ohio. The training is funded by local levy funds.

For information about the Crisis Intervention Team training or companion courses, contact Brad Reed, Director of Community Resource Development, 1100 Wayne Street, Troy, or visit the Board’s website at www.mdsadamhs. mh.state.oh.us.

continued from page 1 the money. He added, however, “If that’s the way they do things, I say our funding levels will go down in the next period.”

Lori Conway addressed Council on behalf of the students. “I’d like us to think about how our money is spent,” adding she didn’t want her students to think they had no control over the use of taxpayer dollars. Greenville Mayor Mike Bowers noted the history of the Board. “It was voted in by the taxpayers,” he said. If they want to change that it will have to be by a vote of the taxpayers.

Conway said a lot of these kids will not buy pool passes. That’s a loss of revenue. She added, “I can take my kids elsewhere, but a lot of parents can’t. And I want our kids to know the Parks Board should be held responsible for how our money is used.”

Baumgardner noted the Mayor appointed the Board members and asked him if he could work with them to help resolve the issue.

Miller also questioned the Board’s decision not to rehire his wife as pool manager. “She has 20 years of experience managing pools, teaching. “Better qualifica-

Volunteer site makes a difference

VERSAILLES – The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) has a new volunteer site that can help you make a difference in the lives of people. The Trinity Lutheran Church in

Versailles has a need for volunteers in their mat program that helps create sleeping mats for the homeless, the community meal program that helps to feed 200 to 300 hungry individ-

uals each week and the backpack food program that furnishes food for kids to keep them healthy.

Volunteering helps our communities because many of the ac-

tions directly impact our neighbors, helps us to connect with others, and can even transform our own lives. All these programs are desperately needed and the program’s success depends on people like you that get involved!

If you live in Darke County and want to volunteer, this program could be just right for you or we can match you up with many other kinds of opportunities also. It’s easy to get started, just call Ahbygale Mangen, the RSVP Coordinator for Darke County at 548-8002 ext 213, rsvp-dk@councilonruralservices.org or stop by Council on Rural Services, 116 East Third St., Greenville.

ON YOUR MIND READERS WRITE What a Sad Day

I just returned from Castine Cemetery to put a flower on my mother’s grave, which I have done for the last sixty years. I must say the last two years have been the worst and saddest day to celebrate our loved ones who passed.

The grass hasn’t been mowed for who knows how long. Dandelions are seeded and blowing everywhere. It’s a disgrace. I read there was

a levy passed to keep the cemetery mowed.

Castine also got a half million grant to cut all the good, healthy trees down and put in new sidewalks and curbs in Castine. Why not turn east and continue to beautify the cemetery.

After all you may be lying there one day.

So disappointed in the trustees.

Martha Reedy Lydia Ratliff Greenville

You just might save a life

BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR A few months a g o , Adriane Scherrer of the consulting firm Enhancements to Your Workplace, noted 70 percent of workplace accidents were due to some form of drug impairment. It could be prescription drugs, alcohol… it could even be pot. Not likely to be heroin… if heroin addicts are still ‘vertical’ they aren’t working. They’re looking for their next fix.

She gave a number of different stats, most of which were scary.

The one striking me most was the number of young people entering the workplace who already had an alcohol problem: 11 percent. I had 18 students in one of my classes at Edison this spring… statistically, two of them have an alcohol problem. Eleven percent by itself doesn’t resonate with most kids; looking around a classroom and realizing two of their classmates could be into alcohol did.

Almost without exception my Edison students are high achievers with strong goals for the future. Not likely they would be involved in drug abuse in any form, including legal drugs for adults. However a majority in every class still believed marijuana should be legalized. It is no more harmful than alcohol, they said. The students allowed that employers had the right to drug test applicants and employees. They believed, however, the “war on drugs” to be expensive and a losing proposition.

“How well did prohibition work?” one of them asked to make her point.

Not every pot enthusiast moves to the next level; at the same time Darke County’s drug team spokespersons say every heroin or meth addict they deal with started with pot or prescription drugs or both.

Some say nearly half of the ‘criminals’ populating America’s prisons are there for smoking or possessing pot. False. Government statistics reveal pot users are there because of their addiction AND the crimes they commit to

pay for their addiction.

Look at Colorado’s “great experiment.” It is being lauded as the showcase for legalized marijuana. A simple Internet search will find supporters and pundits extolling its virtues: no more dollars spent trying to fight it, government controlling quality, immense tax revenues and more. A state profiting from potheads seems to be a shining goal for other states looking for untapped revenue sources.

You have to search a lot harder to find the negatives. Beyond, of course, the standard complaints about marketing to kids, marijuana cookies and the social impact on our society. No one seems to care about that.

How about this?

CBS reported in April more than a dozen explosions in the Denver area alone have been due to people cooking hash oil. This compared to 11 for the entire year in 2013. Portions of houses have been destroyed, but nobody has died yet.

Maybe if they did someone will take notice, but I doubt it. For instance, drug-related highway deaths in states where pot is legal have nearly doubled. They should overtake alcohol-related deaths on state roads and highways by 2020.

Still the pundits consider it the saving grace for debt-ridden states.

Studies show marijuana dependence and abuse in young people has increased 142 percent since 1992. A May 9 Wall Street Journal article reported two deaths have occurred in Colorado from edible forms of marijuana, and there have been 79 marijuana incidents at Colorado medical facilities in the first four months of the year.

Today’s pot is not the pot my generation fell in love with in the 60s and 70s. The THC levels of pot today are five and six times greater than they were then. One in six teens who try it can expect to become addicted to it.

If they don’t end up on a slab first.

On one point I agree with my students. Law enforcement can’t solve this epidemic. But you can. Talk to your kids.

Talk to your grandkids.

If you have to, scare the hell out of them. You just might save a life.

I’m Hoping for at Least One Callus Ryan’s World

by Ryan Berry Managing Editor It doesn’t happen often, but my wife recently gave me a compliment. I wish she would have dropped the tone of astonishment from her voice when praising me, but I’ll take what I can get. I don’t want to come off as sounding braggadocios (yes I do), but the compliment was well deserved. After all the years of not finishing a home remodeling project because I lack the skill and/or desire (hence the astonishment in her voice), I finally completed a project – and it worked.

For the past 20-plus years, I haven’t had the most physically demanding job. You might be surprised, but sitting at a desk and typing doesn’t lead to callused hands. Don’t get me wrong, there are hazards – paper cuts, electrocution from accidentally spilling a 44-ounce soft drink on

COLUMBUS—The Ohio House of Representatives recently voted to pass House Bill 491, legislation that makes changes to Ohio’s gaming laws by improving regulation, streamlining government, reducing spending, and enacting administrative changes.

Specifically, House Bill 491 accomplishes the following: * Provides regulatory guidance for skill-based gaming machines * Specifies that appeals will be heard in the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas * Reduces the Casino Control commissioner’s salary from $60,000 to $30,000 per year * Requires one member of the State Lottery Commission to have experience in the area of gambling addictions and its treatments * Allows the lottery to

trumps my limitations.

Greenbacks, Dough, Moolah, Deniro, Smackers (insert your favorite slang term for money here)! Unlike some people who enjoy working on cars or remodeling their home, I’m not particularly thrilled about getting my hands dirty, cut, scraped or, worse yet, a big, nasty blood blister under my fingernail from where I missed the nail with a hammer.

The lack of funding has forced me to learn to do things I don’t want to do. However, there is a sense of pride when a project is complete – if it works. I will gladly wear a blood blister as a badge of honor if I don’t have to redo a project.

My most recent project was uninstalling an old garage door and installing a new one. I went online to determine how difficult the project would be. My heart skipped a few beats when one do-ityourself website simply described the project as “Hard.” I read it as “Hard, but for Ryan it is nearly impossible.”

I knew then we should check on the cost of

installation when we checked on the price of doors. With two garage doors needing replaced it didn’t take long to realize the factor that trumps my limitations was going to kick in.

I only missed a couple of sections in the instructions and had minimal parts left over, but the door goes up and comes back down.

Bob Vila could probably complete the project in a half-hour show. The Vila to Ryan conversion rate (which should be an official algebraic equation) means it took me two days, four trips to the hardware store and two hours of watching videos. As a bonus, my wife let me buy new tools with only a few sneers and twice rolling her eyes. I call that a successful project.

I still have one more door to install. Since I have a little more experience and confidence, I think I can complete the project in nine hours, two trips to the hardware store and one hour of watching the how-to video. I’m also hoping for at least one callus.

your keyboard and the occasional stapler mishap. As a child, one of the few joys in my wife’s life was picking the dead skin from her dad’s callused hands. I’ve been a huge disappointment.

My hands are as soft as three-ply toilet tissue – the quilted variety.

I don’t live in an alternate reality where I believe I’m Bob Vila reincarnated (which would be hard to do since he isn’t dead) and can take a dilapidated house and turn it into something that would be suitable as a guest house on Bill Gates’ sprawling estate. I’ve also learned if he can complete the project in a one-hour television show it will take me approximately two days, five trips to the hardware store, and three hours of watching You Tube videos to find out what I did wrong. If it takes Bob more than one episode to complete his project…let’s just say I know my limitations – so does my wife.

Knowing my limitations doesn’t mean I won’t attempt a project.

There is another factor that almost always

move forward with game preparation for a statewide joint lottery game * Allows the State Lottery Commission to move forward with certain fees without approval of the Controlling Board “These changes to Ohio gaming code are important,” said State Representative Jim Buchy (R-Greenville), who jointly sponsored House Bill 491 with State Representative Bill Blessing

(R-Cincinnati).

“Once this bill is law, the Ohio Casino Commission will have an increased ability to shut down illegal gaming parlor operators and protect Ohioans from those who want nothing more than to cheat them out of their hard earned money.”

“House Bill 491 is a win for the state of Ohio.

The bill will do much to reduce gambling addiction as well as ensure

that Ohio has a fairly regulated gaming industry,” Rep. Blessing said.

The bill is a component of the Mid-Biennial Review (MBR) package of proposals that initiates reforms to state spending, agency operations, and state policies and programs.

The legislation passed by a vote of 83-2 and will now move to the Ohio Senate for further consideration.

Rebecca A. Reier of Med-Econ Inc.

Guest Speaker at Cleveland Law Seminar CLEVELAND, OHIO – MAY 2, 2014 Following the keynote speakers, Jim Tressel, Exec. Vice President Univ. of Akron and Lauren Onkey PhD, Vice President Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, Rebecca A. Reier, President of Med-Econ Inc., presented “The Unresolved Issues of Robinson vs. Bates” to an audience of over 200 attorneys, judges and insurance executives at the Davis and Young 2014 Annual Law Seminar. Other lecturers on the program included a panel of Common Pleas Judges from Cuyahoga, Franklin and Lake Counties regarding what is “New and Old” in the courtroom and adding innovation in a changing legal industry.

As a Medical Billing Expert Witness, Mrs. Reier indicated how the Robinson vs. Bates ruling assists the Court in accurately identifying the Usual, Customary and Reasonableness of medical charges. More importantly the ruling allows transparency and an opportunity to identify fraud and abuse in such charges. Criminal activity is escalating at all levels of the medical care and services indus-

try, estimated to be over 80 billion dollars a year in Medicare alone. Fraud drives up insurance premiums for everything from healthcare to liability.

The Federal government recently released payment data of the largest healthcare providers in the country and in September 2014 will reveal financial arrangements of providers that can influence their choice of care for their patients. Although transparency does not imply fraud, it nevertheless encourages the public, law enforcement, legal professions and insurance carriers to insist upon accountability and affordability.

Mrs. Reier explained how the Expert Medical Billing Witness provides the Court with unbiased testimony regarding the propriety (validity) of medical service payment requests for personal injury claims. Her straightforward interpretation of the Robinson vs. Bates ruling is that the decision enables the court to avoid rendering a verdict in favor of the biggest bully but instead to the plaintiff or defense counsel that has the most accurate and convincing data.

she was entered into the jackpot drawing after winning $5,500 on a $5 scratch-off ticket at a bowling alley in Toledo in January 2012. Her name was then drawn from a pool of 24 other ticket winners on May 21.

“I don’t spend a lot playing lotto tickets,” Higgins said. “Usually only play a couple times a week.”

After taxes, Higgins will pocket over $142,000 and says she plans to pay off debts, students loan and talk with a financial adviser to assist with handling the winnings. She also plans to get a new vehicle and have a little well deserved fun with some of the cash. She has no plans to quit her job and says she may take a nice vacation once she has some time allowed from work.

RR Festival will be held June 21

Natural Play Zone open at Prairie GREENVILLE – The Darke County Park District extends a thank you to the Ami McClurkin Community Fund and the Kremer Family Farms Fund, both administered by the HOPE Foundation of Darke County.

Through the generosity of these foundations, The Darke County Park District was able to open the Natural Play Zone at Shawnee Prairie Preserve, 4267 State Route 502 West, Greenville.

The Natural Play Zone has been developed to combat an epidemic known as Nature Deficit Disorder. Recent studies show children are smarter, happier and healthier when they have frequent and varied opportunities for free and unstructured play in the out-of-doors, according to the Children & Nature Network, a national nonprofit organization designed to encourage and support the people and organizations working to reconnect children with

nature.

Featured in the Natural Play Zone is a balance beam, natural loom, digging pit, jumping logs, climbing mound, tunnel and much more. Children are encouraged to explore the area, build shelters, dig, play and have fun, all while parents can watch over from designated “parent areas.” There are special tools for children to utilize in a lock box located near the digging pit.

This zone allows for kids to be kids! There are only two rules: 1) Always be careful and respectful of others and nature 2) Take pictures and Leave only Footprints. Through discovery and imagination, the sky is the limit to this ever-evolving zone within the woods of Shawnee Prairie Preserve.

The Natural Play Zone is open seven days a week from sunrise to sunset. If you have any questions, call the Nature Center at 548-0165.

Wayne HealthCare Cancer Center receives national award

Harold and Deb Pohl

Pohls are honorary grand marshals VERSAILLES – Versailles Poultry Days is pleased to Harold and Deb Pohl have been named as the honorary grand marshals of the 2014 parade.

Harold J. Pohl was enrolled to be a freshman at Versailles High School in the fall of 1952, the year of the first Versailles Poultry Days.

Harold’s father, Ed Pohl, and mother, Margaret Gasson Pohl, were involved in the celebration of Versailles Poultry Days all of their active years, starting in 1952. Harold and his brother Kenneth were volunteered by their parents to help with Poultry Days in the early years.

They would help out in any way that they could.

This included helping to empty the trash barrels full of remains from the chicken dinners and cleaning of the grounds after the event.

After graduating from High School, Harold went to Los Angeles, CA for a one year course in Diesel Mechanics. After graduation in September 1957, he returned to Versailles and started to work for Subler Transfer Inc. as a diesel mechanic. Harold worked as a mechanic, mostly on the semi-tractors, but over the years was involved in all aspects of the trade. Harold worked there until 1983.

Harold married Deb Grilliot on Sept. 28, 1968 and they are the parents of four children, David (Brenda), Christi, Brian and Rebecca (John).

In 1983, Harold started his own maintenance company, Harold J. Pohl Inc., performing all of the required maintenance on semi-tractors, trailers, refrigeration units, tires and related work.

He was also in the leasing business of semitractors and trailers to the local trucking companies. In 1991, Harold started Pohl Transportation Inc., which is a Common Carrier trucking company.

This company has grown to 130 tractors and 360 trailers and employs 140 people. In 1998, Harold started Pohl Logistics Inc., which is a truckload brokerage firm.

Harold has been involved in numerous organizations, including Knights of Columbus #1756, Eagles Lodge #2347 of Versailles, Versailles Volunteer Life Rescue Squad Inc., Versailles Exempted Village School District Board of

Education, St. Denis Parish Council and Versailles Lion Club.

He retired in 2013. Before and after retiring, his hobbies have been lawn care and landscaping at his residence, tending to his large garden, roller blading (which he finally gave up a couple of years ago), bike riding and now motorcycles. He also has a gym in his basement and enjoys staying physically fit.

Deb has been in many activities since she was a student at Versailles High School (class of 1965). She started serving chicken dinners in the food line in the 1960’s and was involved with many high school clubs and organizations. While their children were in school she worked in many capacities through the years on Poultry Days. She was a Girl Scout helper with her friend and Girl Scout leader, Jan Donnelly. She also was a member of the Athletic Association, Versailles Music Boosters, and has been a Versailles Tigers’ fan since grade school. Her blood runneth orange and black people say!

Deb has also been involved in many civic organizations over the years, including founding boards of the Versailles 5 Cs Swim League, The Friends of Worch Memorial Library, Rhythm Company, and the Versailles Area Historical Society and Museum. She also was a driver for the Versailles Life Squad. She served many years on the board of the Versailles Council of Churches, Towne & Country Players, delivered Meals on Wheels, St. Denis Church Council member, Modern Mothers Club, and Versailles Alumni Association. In 2013 the Versailles Chamber honored Deb as the Versailles Citizen of the Year.

Deb and Harold have five grandchildren and are involved in their activities.

Deb and Harold said, “We would like to thank the Versailles Poultry Days Board for bestowing this honor on us as we are very proud of this community and all it represents, ‘People Pride Progress.’

And we invite everyone to come and enjoy Cluck Dynasty, the 2014 Versailles Poultry Days!”

Book comes to life for local students

BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR GREENVILLE – Greenville’s South School students recently had a book they were studying come to life thanks to Greenville residents John and Karen Burkett. The sixth grade language arts classes have been reading the book Okay for Now by Gary D. Schmidt.

The book tells the story of a junior high student that has a horrible home life, but, with the help of several supportive people outside of his family, discovers he enjoys drawing and is completely fascinated by the works of John Audubon. Audubon is well known for his paintings of The Birds of America.

Although Audubon died more than 100 years before the book’s main character was born, he becomes a huge influence in the character’s life.

The Burketts have

studied and are portrayers of John and Lucy Audubon. They shared the story of how Audubon was born in Haiti, moved to France and then came to America, where he met Lucy. John had many occupational pursuits, but always kept coming back to drawing and painting. Lucy and the couple’s children would go months and sometimes years without seeing John while he was exploring America and painting the birds he found. Throughout his lifetime, Audubon had times where he lived a wealthy life and times where he and his family lived in poverty.

The students seemed to enjoy the portrayal and continued to ask questions about Audubon for 15-20 minutes after the presentation.

Mrs. Pearson, a language arts teacher, believes the program helped the students understand the book even better.

DCHS continues mission to prevent cruelty to animals

BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR GREENVILLE – The Darke County Humane Society (DCHS) was formed over 60 years ago with the mission to instill humane principles and enforce laws for the prevention of cruelty, especially to children and animals, through repetitious knowledge and awareness.

The mission established in 1953 continues to be the mission of the organization in 2014.

While many people recognize DCHS as a place to turn to when searching for a dog or cat to add to their family, the organization is much more.

They continue to grow and add more programs that promote the health and well-being of companion animals.

Did you know DCHS offers a low cost spay/ neuter clinic?

Did you know DCHS offers a yearly shot clinic for dogs and cats?

Did you know DCHS actively prosecutes per-

sons for abusing animals?

The organization’s latest program will soon have a huge impact on the feral/stray cat population and their human neighbors. DCHS with a host of volunteers have begun Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program.

Volunteers are alerted to an area where a colony of cats has formed and a time is coordinated with a local veterinarian to trap the cats, have them spayed or neutered and then returned to the area where they were trapped.

Over time the population will decrease as two cats that aren’t spayed and neutered can have as many as one million offspring in a 10-year period.

While some will argue the cats should be euthanized to decrease the population, Judy Francis, president of DCHS, warned merely destroying the cats will do little to decrease the population and it is illegal. It has been proven over

time once a colony is destroyed, cats will break off from a larger group to set up a new colony in the recently vacated area.

According to Francis, TNR is the least cruel and effective way of dealing with the feral/stray cat population. Not only does it curtail the population, but it also alleviates the yowling, fighting, and marking of territory that comes with cats being in heat.

Some residents continue to push for the cats to be completely removed from an area. Francis points out neighbors may not be thrilled with what they get in return.

When the cat population goes away completely the rodent population will increase, which in-turn sets the stage for a new colony of cats to move in because of the abundant source of food.

With the TNR program underway, DCHS continues to look for ways to fund the project.

So far, they have been able to trap approxi-

mately 30 cats in Greenville and other areas in Darke County.

The funding has come out of the DCHS general fund, but to make a difference in the county more cats will need to be trapped. Francis said 1,000 cats will need to be trapped and spayed/ neutered for the program to make a difference in Greenville. Thanks to local veterinarians agreeing to provide the services at a lower cost, the price tag ranges from $50-$80 for each cat (depending on the gender of the cat).

While the organization continues to seek grants to pay for the service, Francis stressed donations from the public are needed. “If people want this to work, they have to be part of the solution,” she said.

DCHS also needs additional traps. So far they have had 10 traps donated. One section of Greenville has reported a colony of 30 cats. There simply aren’t enough traps to handle that job.

Ace Hardware in Greenville has agreed to help DCHS with the purchase of traps. Persons wanting to help can go into the store, ask to purchase a trap for DCHS and volunteers will go to the store to pick it up.

Francis gets excited when she thinks about the positive results the community will see when this program really gets going. She said TNR has been proven to work. Over the course of two and a half years in Orange County, FL, the county was able to save 47-percent on its animal control budget.

DCHS welcomes donations of any size to assist with the program.

On June 6-8, you will be able to help the organization and enjoy a good meal. The Greenville Bob Evans will donate 15% of sales to DCHS when a flyer is presented on these dates. It is valid for dine in or carryout.

Contact DCHS for a flyer or visit www.bluebagmedia.com, search Darke

County Humane Society and print the flyer.

To assist with the growth of the organization, DCHS has added a new position and staff.

Francis will continue as the president of the DCHS Board, but Mike Pressnall has agreed to assume the duties of director. He will oversee the various activities, fundraisers and clinics. Pressnall has been involved with the organization for many years and has a background in marketing and management. Dustin Wills is the new shelter manager. He brings a wealth of computer knowledge to the program.

Francis noted the shelter will soon get a facelift. Plans are underway to enlarge the facility and add a new dog room.

They are currently contacting general contractors to get an estimate.

For more information on how you can assist DCHS or to make a donation, call 548-1009.

In addition to the duck race, the agency will also host the eighth annual Duck N’ Run/

Walk 5k race, which is a part of the Shelby County 5K Tour and the Wayne Healthcare Challenge.

The 5k run/walk will be held on the same evening of Thursday, June 19th with race time at 8:15 p.m. through scenic Tawawa Park in Sidney.

Registration will begin at 7 p.m., and a shot-gun start will begin the race at 8:15 p.m. Runners (walkers also welcome) will follow the course

through the scenic park, with refreshments and an awards presentation waiting at the finish line. Runners can pre-register for the event for $25, which includes t-Shirt and Rubber Duck Adoption. Twenty dollars allows a runner to participate and receive a t-shirt, or $12 will cover the cost of the race only.

Race day registration is $15 and does not include a t-shirt. Duck adoptions

Little by Little meets first Tuesday GREENVILLE – Are you in need of a weight loss support group?

Need help to make healthy choices? Need encouragement? Want to make new friends? If so, there is a group for you. Little by Little meets the first Tuesday of each month in the basement of the East Main Church of Christ, 419 East Main St., Greenville. There is a chair lift for those who have trouble going down steps. The doors open at 5:30 p.m., with the meeting beginning at 6 p.m.

Little by Little is a non-profit group and there are no membership fees. Men and women are welcome.

Most members have gone through gastric bypass, or some other form of weight loss surgery.

You don’t have to have had weight loss surgery in order to attend. Last month, they celebrated their sixth anniversary of being a support group.

Some of the programs have included healthy recipe tips with the sharing of recipes, healthy cooking dem-

onstrations, which is a great way to introduce healthy and new recipes/ideas to those in the group, exercise tips. It’s not required to exercise, so don’t let that stop you from coming. They’ve also had open group discussions, allowing everyone to talk freely about their lives, experiences, good times verses bad times, or about daily struggles when it comes to eating. Other topics of discussion have been menu planning, food journals, vitamins, heart attack, high blood pres-

sure, diabetes, asthma, joint pain, and many other medical issues one might face due to being overweight and out of shape.

They are not professionals, and do not hand out set diet plans. That is between you and your family doctor. They do offer a lot of knowledge, moral support and great friendship.

Bowl for Kids Sake 2014 generates $33,000 DARKE COUNTY - The bowling event that was held on March 7 & March 8 at Bel-Mar Lanes in Sidney and Treaty Lanes in Greenville with nearly 50 bowling teams consisting of 4 to 5 people in attendance.

The agency would like to thank all the businesses and individuals who supported their biggest fundraiser of the year. The money raised goes directly towards establishing one-to-one mentoring relationships between caring adults and vulnerable children.

Big Brothers Big Sisters would like to send a big shout out to the community for their awesome support of our fund raising event!! To date our preliminary figures show we raised $33,000.

Bowl for Kids’ Sake is a nationally recognized event, and almost 700 agencies across the county participate and hold the event. Big Brothers Big Sisters evaluates its effectiveness and impact on a national and local level. Results show that children who are mentored are more likely to

improve in school and in their relationships with family and peers and are less likely to skip school or use illegal drugs or alcohol.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County has drawn the winners of the Bowl for Kids’ Sake 2014 Prizes: Grand Prize winner was Don Mumford of Sidney, who generously donated the $500 prize back to the Big Brothers Big Sisters agency. Val Leigeber of Sidney won the prize for most money raised by a bowler, and the package winners where Alex Wilt of Fort Loramie, Carolyn Leiss of Sidney, Harold Leiss of Sidney, and Val Leigeber of Sidney. The prize for any bowler who participated was won by Joe Rizzo of Lewistown.

Great BIG thanks go to all of the companies that sponsored the event and helped make it a success.

It is greatly appreciated.

Volunteer mentors are always needed; call the office at 492-7611 or 547-9622 for more information. Big Brothers Big Sisters is a United Way member agency.
