Come for the circus stay for ﬁreworks GREENVILLE - There is no better way to celebrate the Independence Day weekend than spending time with family and friends. The Darke County Agricultural Society accepted the challenge from Greenville Mayor Mike Bowers to bring a ﬁreworks display back to the community to help in this celebration. On July 6, at

dusk, an Independence Day Fireworks Celebration will return to the fairgrounds. Rozzi Fireworks (http://www.rozziproducts.com) from Loveland is a leader in ﬁreworks and will shoot the display. Rozzi is known for the huge display on Labor Day weekend in Cincinnati and providing ﬁreworks for Kings Island and the

Cincinnati Reds. That same day, in the inﬁeld of the race track, the Carson & Barnes Big Top Circus (http://www.carsonbarnescircus.com) will have two performances, 2:30 and 5:30 p.m. Please enter at Gate #1 or Gate #2 for the Circus and to view the ﬁreworks display. Any business, organi-

zation or individual wishing to donate to the display may do so by sending a check to Fair Office, 800 Sweitzer St., Greenville Ohio 45331; in person at the Fair Office during normal office hours of 8 a.m.-4 p.m., Monday through Friday, or 8 a.m. to noon, Saturday; or by phone, 548-5044, using a debit/credit card during

Dan Light retires as Arcanum Police Chief after over 12 years. (Clinton Randall Photo)

Light retires as Chief, plans to continue law enforcement career BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER ARCANUM – Though Dan Light is retiring as the Arcanum Police Chief, he has no plans of leaving the life as a law enforcement officer behind. Light, who has served as Chief since Nov. 7, 2001, will officially leave the office at the end of the day Sunday, June 22. At which time present New Madison Police Chief Andrew Ashbaugh will take over as Arcanum’s Acting Chief for at least the next three months. “Though I am retiring as Chief, I still have a passion for the field and plan to continue working in law enforcement,” Light said. “Once it gets in your blood it is hard to

let go.” Light told The Early Bird his plans after leaving the Arcanum Police Department are to join the Darke County Sheriff’s Patrol where he first began his career in March 1985. He later became a full time deputy with the Darke County Sheriff’s Office where he was given different duties over the years, including a spot on the D.A.R.E. program where he educated local students about the dangers of drugs. “Dan was a great guy to work with in the D.A.R.E. program,” said Det. Sgt. Mike Burns of the Darke County Sheriff’s Office. “He always did what was right and gave such a positive spin on how the kids saw po-

lice ofﬁcers.” “Danno (as Burns called Light) was committed to making a difference with the kids,” Burns added. “That was some of the richest times in both our careers.” Light grew up in Darke County, graduating from Greenville in 1980. He and his wife Jen recently moved to Troy after living in Arcanum for the last eight years. He is a father of four children, the youngest graduating from Arcanum High School this year. “I’ve got a few good years left. I would like to get back to dealing with the people and be less of a supervisor, that is

BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR PIQUA – When one thinks of a therapy animal the first thought is of a cat or dog. Many skilled nursing and assisted living facilities have companion animals on-site because of the positive affect they have on residents. One might be surprised to learn there are larger animals that have been used for therapy since the 17th century. Early documentation shows warriors injured on the battlefield often used horses as a form of therapy. A few centuries later that method began taking hold in the U.S. Today, there are over 700 equine assisted therapy locations in the United States. The closest therapeutic riding facility is only a half-hour drive from Greenville. Through the support of Ann and Keith Schaurer, Eagles’ Wings Stable, Inc., 5730 N. Washington Road, Piqua, began reaching out to children and adults and helping them gain or regain a variety of skills. The facility opened in 2006. Since that time, they have helped many regain strength or build muscle tone, learn socialization skills, develop balance and coordination, follow directions or stay on task, build confidence and self esteem, plus many more benefits. According to Kelly Monnin, director, the fa-

Thomas Blumenstock thinks he is having fun riding Jett, but he is also building his core strength and learning socialization skills. (Ryan Berry photo)

cility opened with three horses, one instructor, nine volunteers and three students. Today, they have 17 students, eight horses and three part-time instructors. Some students come for a session or two and some may come for several years. Thomas Blumenstock, 9, has been coming to Eagles’ Wings since he was three years old. His mother, Julie, noted that Thomas is Globally Delayed. He has had problems building his core strength and has socialization issues. “His handicap has limited his activities,” she said. Monnin was quick to point out a lot of their students cannot play some of the sports their brothers or sisters are playing, but they can participate in horseback riding. Thomas doesn’t realize he is getting therapy. According to his mother,

he gets excited when they turn on the road to get to the stable – even if it isn’t his therapy day. When asked if he liked coming to see the horses Thomas answered with an enthusiastic, “Yes!” His mom said he just enjoys coming and riding. However, every time he mounts the horse, stands up in the saddle, or sits up straight he is building his core strength. As he is learning how to make the horse go or when he follows the directions of the trainer he is developing the socialization skills he needs. For Julie, the therapy Thomas receives isn’t the only therapy session of the day. While she and the other parents are sitting on the bench outside the ring they are talking and helping each other with the issues they face.

Over 92% of county’s third graders met state’s standa BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR GREENVILLE – Darke County’s third graders joined students from around the state to take the Ohio Achievement Assessment, but there was a little more pressure to do well on this year’s reading test. Students that scored under a 392 risked the chance of repeating third grade under Ohio’s Third Grade Reading Guarantee. Darke County’s students performed well on the assessment with over 92% meeting or exceeding the minimum standard required by the state. Nearly 700 students from Green-

ville City Schools and all Darke County Schools, including Bradford, took the test. Jim Atchley, superintendent for Ansonia and Mississinawa Valley (MV), was pleased with the numbers from both of his schools. Over 98% of Ansonia’s third graders were able to meet the standards and 42 of 48 students at MV passed the assessment. The numbers are a little skewed because the results are for all third grade students. According to the superintendent, the state does not require special education students to achieve the targeted score, but are included in the re-

sults. None of the county schools had more than 10 students fall short of the requirement and most had six or fewer with the majority of those students falling in the special education category. Ansonia, Franklin Monroe and Bradford each had one student. Greenville City Schools had 198 third graders take the achievement test with 174 reaching the standard (87.9%). Tri-Village had the most county students (10) fail to reach the assessment’s standard score. Superintendent Josh Sagester noted nine of those 10 have met the state’s criteria for promotion. One student has

an opportunity through summer school and by retaking the assessment. Sagester is pleased with the results. “It is one of the highest priorities we had over the last year,” he said. The goal to have success is not only a goal for the third grade teachers, but is a shared goal for teachers and staff from kindergarten through third grade. “If you struggle in reading you’re going to struggle in all aspects of the curriculum.” He continued, “We try to hit it as hard as possible.” Tri-Village’s efforts have paid off. After preliminary testing last fall the school had 18 students in danger of not

meeting the state’s standard. “The students have worked extremely hard,” said Sagester. While the state’s requirement for promotion is 392 the school is required to have students score 400 or better for the district to meet its indicator on the State Report Card. Tri-Village had 80% of its students score 400 or better. Atchley is concerned with the state’s requirement of retaining students if the standard is not met. He said, “Most studies show there is no beneﬁt to retaining students.” According to the Ohio Department of Education, if a student is ready he/she can take

fourth grade classes in all other subjects. The school would be required to provide a high-performing reading teacher with 90 minutes of reading instruction each school day. If the student’s reading improves the school can move him/her to the fourth grade. Problems could arise for districts with a large number of students retained (i.e. ﬁnding classroom space and teachers). Overall, 88% of the state’s 119,393 public school students met or exceeded the standard. That number dipped for community school students with only 71.4% of the 8,234 students reaching the target.

Police respond to attempted suicide, assaults On June 15 police responded to 251 Marion Dr. regarding a male, later identiﬁed as Chris Larsen, who had attempted to cut his wrist. When police arrived Larsen left his residence and began walking toward the ofﬁcer. There was an

injury to his left arm with a paper towel wrapped around it, soaked in blood. Larsen told the ofﬁcer he would have to shoot him, to which the ofﬁcer responded he didn’t wish to harm him. Larsen then reportedly said, “It’s you or me, so

pull your gun.” The officer repeated his statement and attempted to talk to him; Larsen stated he wanted “it to end.” The suspect then reached toward his back pocket and told the officer to “pull your gun or I’ll pull mine.” He was asked to show his hands. Larsen refused. Another officer arrived on the scene, separating Larsen from the first officer. He pulled his Taser and ordered Larsen on the ground. The first officer had drawn his service weapon, then holstered it and placed Larsen in handcuffs. Greenville Township Rescue transported Larsen to Wayne Hospital for treatment and a mental evaluation. Police found Larsen had attempted to harm himself a month earlier on May 4. He was “pink slipped” and issued a citation for Obstructing Official Business. ASSAULT On June 9 police were dispatched to the parking lot of Hamilton Autos at 141 N. Broadway

regarding a private property accident. Police had been told the defendant who caused the accident, Nathan Hoblit, was ﬂeeing. Police found him a few hundred feet away. Hoblit told police he was operating one vehicle and admitted driving into the other vehicle, saying nothing more. Tracie Copeland said Hoblit was her boyfriend and that he had purposely driven his vehicle into her friend Aubree Lowder’s vehicle because he didn’t like her. Three individuals were speaking with Lowder as she was waiting for Copeland. Hoblit reportedly was “ﬂipping them off and calling them sluts,” after which he made a series of turns until he could strike Lowder’s vehicle head on, causing injury to one of the friends, Krystelle Mojica, as the vehicle was pushed back from the impact. All witnesses wrote out statements and were checked out by Greenville Rescue for injuries. The report will be sent to the Darke County Prosecutor for possible Felonious Assault charges. On June 11 police were dispatched to the Greenville Library regarding an assault complaint. A juvenile female told police she was walking to the library with a friend and they were being followed by two other juvenile females. When the victim attempted to go into the library, the suspect pushed the door shut and told the victim to walk around the building out of sight of the cameras. The suspect then accused the victim of spreading rumors about a friend, as well as taking a T-shirt. The victim said she was slapped open-handed twice and attempted to block a third slap. She said when witnesses started to say something, the suspect took off. There were no visible injuries. A video showed the four juveniles leaving the camera’s view, then returning; the slaps were on video. The suspect was questioned in the presence of her father and

admitted to the incident. The suspect was cited for Assault. On June 13 police were dispatched to 708 Gray Ave. regarding an assault complaint by Ebony Redditt on Matthew Hall. Redditt had blood coming from her nose. She said Hall had been drinking and they had started arguing; he allegedly became so angry he struck her in the nose with his fist. Hall was standing on the sidewalk at this address when the officer arrived. The officer noted a strong odor of alcoholic beverage; Hall stated both of them had several beers, adding he was trying to leave and “Redditt just kept arguing and was refusing to let him leave.” He said things just got out of hand. Hall had a small laceration on his right hand. Redditt was transported to Wayne Hospital for treatment. Hall was cited for assault. DRUGS On June 15 police stopped Matthew Caupp for a “Lanes of Travel” violation. There was a strong odor of alcoholic beverage coming from the driver and passengers. Caupp said he had not had anything to drink but the passengers – Brian Seats Jr., Ryan Ruppe and Kimberly Frantz – were intoxicated. Caupp agreed to and passed a field sobriety test. When asked if there was anything illegal in the vehicle Caupp said the other occupants might have something because they mentioned it and were acting suspicious. The officer searched the vehicle and found a half full beer bottle near the front seat where Seats was sitting. Seats denied it was his. He also found a syringe underneath the front part of the rear seat where it was accessible to Ruppe. Ruppe had been asked to sit in the back seat of the patrol vehicle while the search was completed and appeared to be asleep when the officer returned to him. The officer awakened him and asked him about the syringe. He

denied knowing anything about it. The officer discovered he had several convictions of drug abuse and trafficking drug charges. None of the other individuals admitted to owning the items. Ruppe was cited for possession of drug paraphernalia and Seats was cited for open container. DUI On June 12 police observed Julie R. Burghardt enter a turn left only lane then proceed straight on Martin Street. She was stopped for the violation. The officer noted a strong odor of alcoholic beverage and a nearly empty bottle of vodka on the front seat. Burghardt stated she had come from her boyfriend’s house where she’d only had one drink. She agreed to the field sobriety test and did poorly on it. She was placed under arrest for OVI but refused to take the breath test. At that time she was placed under Administrative License Suspension and issued citations for OVI, Speed and Open Container.

Light continued from page 1 where you can really make a difference,” Light added. “It is something that gets in your blood. I can see myself helping to do some training and being more of a PR person for the department.” Chief Deputy Mark Whittaker of the Darke County Sheriff’s Office remembers Light being his training officer when he first joined the force in 1995. “We spent a couple of weeks riding together on day shift as he showed me the ins and outs of the Darke County Sheriff’s Office and its opera-

Equine Therapy continued from page 1 “It’s bench therapy with other parents,” she said.

Monnin pointed out some of their adult

tion,” said Whittaker. “I remember a story that demonstrated Dan’s integrity and law enforcement principles we are sworn to uphold.” “Dan was training me on a weekend morning and I believe it was the ﬁrst time he let me behind the wheel of the cruiser,” Whittaker said. “We were patrolling State Route 49 near Arcanum when we came across a car traveling well over the speed limit. I initiated the trafﬁc stop and obtained all of the necessary information on the driver,” Whittaker continued. “Dan and I discussed whether to issue a speeding ticket to this driver

and would quiz me on the justification of my decision. I believed given the speed, the citation was justified and he did not disagree. After issuing the citation to the driver, who was very courteous and apologetic at the time, I returned to the cruiser and Dan questioned how I felt about the traffic stop. I said I felt it had gone ok at which time Dan decided to reveal to me that I had just cited a prominent and well known attorney from Greenville, who had a reputation of being very professional and fair to law enforcement in the community.” Whittaker went on to say.

students have beneﬁted from this type of therapy after suffering a stroke or being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Just like the warriors who used equine therapy in the 17th century, Eagles’ Wings Stables is currently reaching out to veterans. The American Legion in Tipp City and the VFW in Piqua have agreed to fully fund the therapeutic riding program for veterans that have been injured or are facing other types of is-

sues. Persons wanting to try equine assisted therapy do not need a prescription, but they do need a release from their doctor. Because of the generosity of donors qualiﬁed individuals can receive a student scholarship to help offset the cost. For more information on Eagles’ Wings Stables or to set up an appointment, call 778-0021. The facility is also looking for volunteers and donors.

Scouts make playground safer ANSONIA – Eight boys from Boy Scout Troop 114, Ansonia, under the leadership of Carl Post, Dave Staver, Greg Baker and Mike Thornhill earned their advancements by community service hours. The Boy Scouts and other volunteers put in 120 man hours into the New Weston Park by measuring the park area, removing the soil to a depth of eight inches, placing wood borders around the perimeter, installing weed barrier and hauling and

“Being a new rookie deputy in the community and concerned about making waves, I questioned Dan about why he did not tell me this before I had written the citation. He responded by asking me what difference did it make who the person was if I felt the citation was justified,” Whittaker concluded. Friends, family and colleagues attended Light’s retirement open house Thursday at the Arcanum Village Office building. Chief Dennis Butts of the Greenville Police Department had this to say about Light, “I worked with Dan when we were both on the Darke County Sheriff’s Auxiliary, more years ago than I care to mention.” “Dan is one of those officers who others should watch and learn from. His ability and compassion for the job

and those he serves are just a part of what makes the kind of career he should be very proud of,” Butts added. When asked what Light’s most memorable moment was on the job was, he said by far the attacks on September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. “We weren’t looking for speeders or burglary suspects. It felt like we were thrust into a military role and were

helping to protect everybody,” said Light. “It wasn’t something we were ever trained for. It was just a real odd feeling not knowing what to expect next.” Light, who is 51 years old now, says he plans to at least stay active in law enforcement for another ﬁve years or more. He would like to then possibly move south after his daughters are off to medical school.

ON YOUR MIND

Severance Tax and its impact on Ohioans With the discovery of large deposits of oil and gas in JIM BUCHY the eastOHIO ern part REPRESENTATIVE of Ohio, we have an opportunity to work with Ohio’s oil and gas industry to offset costs incurred by the tax payers for road maintenance and regulation associated with the industry. As we learn more about this growing economic benefit in Appalachia we must have a serious discussion at the state level to determine the best government policies moving forward. Since Ohio contains such an abundance of natural gas, tapping into it helps our state in countless ways. In order to reap all the benefits of the oil and gas beneath our feet, a severance tax must be implemented. The revenue that is created by this tax can help sustain Ohio’s growing economy by helping us lower Ohio’s personal income tax. House Bill 375 addresses the issues at hand by modifying the existing severance tax and working with the State Government and those in the field to establish a competitive severance tax for Ohio. The discussion surrounding the bill development focused on the safety of Ohioans, a competitive tax rate and funding for communities affected by the growth in oil and gas exploration in eastern Ohio. The result is a severance tax rate that is high enough to provide revenue for the community, but low enough to ensure Ohio

can attract more development in our oil and gas fields. The first $21 million in revenue will fund the regulatory programs of the oil and gas industry by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Additional revenue produced will provide tax relief to Ohioans by funding the Ohio Income Tax Reduction Fund, which will total more than $325 million over the next five years. Another goal was to be sure that local governments would receive revenue as well. I’m happy to say that 17.5 percent of the total tax revenue will be distributed to local governments. This money will help to make improvements to local infrastructure that has experienced wear and tear as a result of the increased industrial activity in eastern Ohio. To ensure oil and gas production in Ohio is safe for our people and the environment some of the dollars will be used to increase funding for Ohio’s orphan well program. Closing wells that are no longer in use and have been abandoned in some cases for decades is a very important environmental practice. This is just one more tool that will allow Ohio to grow as an energy producer. The extraction of natural gas has already created many private sector jobs and investments. House Bill 375 adds to this by providing economic stability and long term safety precautions for oil and gas extraction. It sets the stage for a stronger and safer Ohio, and continued growth in the energy sector right here in Ohio.

Ensuring Ohio’s kids don’t go hungry With so many families struggling to make ends meet, m a n y SHERROD Ohio chilBROWN dren are U.S. SENATOR living in “food insecure” households, where parents don’t always have the resources to provide enough healthy food for their families. During the 2012-2013 school year, 630,000 Ohio children daily received free or reduced-priced school lunches through the National School Lunch Program, ensuring their healthy development and easing the burden on their families. When schools close for summer, however, these families are left wondering how to continue to provide meals for their children. Fortunately, through the Summer Food Service Program, children can receive breakfast, lunch, or a snack at sites across Ohio. The Summer Food Service Program, a joint venture of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Ohio Department of Education, provides a critical resource to families who need assistance feeding their children but many families don’t know it’s available. Right now,

these sites are underutilized. Last summer, only 66,000 Ohio children daily participated in the program, compared to the hundreds of thousands who do so during the school year. Food security doesn’t increase simply because it is summer. What this means is that children are going without. And that is unacceptable. If you ﬁnd that your children need meal assistance, I urge you to participate in this program. You can also be a resource to your friends and neighbors, helping raise awareness about the nearly 1,700 summer camps, schools, churches, synagogues, pools and recreation centers, and other organizations that host Summer Feeding Program sites in Ohio. Healthy, well-fed children are essential to a strong community and we must ensure that children have the resources they need to thrive both while during the school-year and on summer break. To ﬁnd a Summer Food Service Program in your county, please visit https://oh.cnpcares. com/summer/SfspFoodServByCnty.asp. Families can also call the National Hunger Hotline at 1-8663HUNGRY for assistance in English and 1-8778HAMBRE for assistance in Spanish.

Take Your Daughter to Work Ryan’s World by Ryan Berry Managing Editor Who in their right mind ever thought Take Your Daughter to Work Day was a good idea? They say it is supposed to inspire the girls and give them insight into possible career fields. I’m not sure who “they” are, but they are completely, utterly and definitely wrong. Take Your Daughter to Work Day is nothing more than an opportunity for them to ditch school and annoy the bejeebies out of their mom or dad. I’ve been bringing my daughter to the office since she was wrapped in a blanket and all she did is eat, sleep and poop. (Huh? It’s amazing, but

not much has changed in the past 15 1/2 years.) She has come to work with me more times than I care to remember (probably because I would need therapy if I remembered all of them) and has never once felt the newspaper business was a career she would enjoy. I can’t even get her to deliver her paper route without complaining. It isn’t by choice that she joins me at work today. She recently turned that age every parent dreads and/or rejoices in. She became old enough to get her driver’s permit. My wife took her to the license bureau early, but there were already several people in line. My wife needed to get to work on time and, being the good husband I am, volunteered to stay with her until she was ﬁnished and take her to work with

me. I don’t know what I was thinking. I must have been blinded by my wife’s charm and good looks. As I write this column she is sitting across from me, switching from chair to chair, standing behind me, drawing on my white board and constantly ﬁdgeting. She is making me extremely nervous. I’ve been trying to concentrate and when I look across my desk she is stacking drink coasters, a hockey puck, markers, and other knick knacks. I have to admit her sense of balance is incredible. She was able to stack everything about two-feet high. Maybe we are on to something. Maybe by going to work with me at the newspaper she is opening her mind to another career ﬁeld. I wouldn’t mind if she became an engineer. Oh wait! Nevermind!

ing to each other, but texting! I admit there is a place for texting, but not when you are with another person. Young people especially are guilty of this because they have always had these devices, they grow up with them. They have not had to talk one-on-one with each other. It is becoming a lost art. There is nothing, in my opinion, like the ability to sit with someone and actually TALK to them. That gives you a feel and an insight into the person you are talking to that you cannot get on any electronic device. On a cell phone, or any other device (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Etc.) you miss that personal connection with that person. They become just a name, a face, or a faceless voice. Facebook and the other forms of communication are great tools when used correctly. I use it, and it is a great way for me to let the public know what I am doing, and what we are doing in the Commissioner’s ofﬁce, and what is happening in

the County. At this time, we are currently updating our County website, (it will be myDarkeCountyOhio.com, and should be up and running by July) and it will also be tied in with our Facebook page and twitter account. Great ways for us to keep the public informed. However, I still prefer the face-to-face meetings. That is why I think my Coffee’s with the commissioner, and doing as many speeches and outings as I can, are so important. It gives you a chance to meet the real person, not just a voice or a picture on the other end of the line. You can get a feel for what kind of person I am, and I of you. I can see and feel your anger, your questioning look, your surprise, and your gratitude in a one-onone meeting and you can see my reaction as well. It is important to me to meet as many people as I can. Why? It helps me do this job better. Phone calls, e-mails, Facebook posts, or messages can be ignored, or forgotten. A meeting with someone is never

Her ﬁrst choice of Clown College may be where she is headed. She just ruined the engineering masterpiece she created when she took a piece of tape and wrapped it around her nose and attached it to her eyebrows to create a piggy nose… only to announce after pulling the tape off of her face, “I think I just tore off half of my eyebrow.” She has been with me for less than an hour and I am more than ready for her mother to come and get her. I’m not sure if I will be able to survive another hour and a half. I’m thinking about changing careers just so I can take my daughter to work and have her be a little more productive. Think of all the good she could do if I were a prison guard. There’s a good chance she would scare them straight (or start a riot).

The Lost Art of Talking BY MIKE STEGALL “I fear the day that technology will surpass our MIKE STEGAL h u m a n COUNTY interacCOMMISSIONER tion. The world will have a generation of idiots.” – Albert Einstein In case you haven’t been aware, ever since the 1980’s, we have been in a technology boom. Personal computers, cell phones, the internet, our cars, planes, ships, trains, everything has grown with the advent of new technology. It is nothing anymore to see people walking with their I-pods, or cell phones, or I-pads, tied to their ears as they move about. At no time in human history has man been more able to communicate with each other, over far greater distances than could be imagined a century ago. This ability has allowed us to supposedly advance in the understanding of our world, and of each other. Communication is a great thing, as long as we use it properly, and at the right time. As we invent and improve what we have in the way of communication devices, it seems to me we don’t really talk to each other anymore. Everybody wants the latest and greatest device to communicate with, but do they really help us to talk to each other? I think we have all been places and noticed two or more people sitting together not talk-

misplaced, or ignored. I like that. So far, the people I meet have been very gracious and helpful. I notice that the more I see them, the more comfortable they become with me. That’s a good thing, it lets people open up more with their real thoughts and feelings. That makes the decisions we make as Commissioners more personal, and more important to us. We don’t forget meeting with people who have a problem, or a solution. Let’s communicate more. Not by the wonders of technology, but by old fashioned meeting, shaking each other’s hand, and talking with one another. I bet if we do that more, we will have a better understanding of the people we meet, their problems and ideas, and less misunderstandings and mistakes will be made. Communicate, Communicate, Communicate, that is the new catchphrase. It is a good sentiment, but let’s change it to Communicate, Communicate, Communicate, WITHOUT TECHNOLOGY.

Council overturns Planning & Zoning BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR GREENVILLE – The owner of the property at 511 Memorial Drive and 900 East Main Street may have to come up with another plan to bring a business into the community. Greenville City Council unanimously overturned a decision by the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission to rezone both properties to General Business from Neighborhood

Business. While some of the residents who spoke during the public hearing portion of the meeting weren’t opposed to the possibility of a sign business moving into the vacant drive-thru they were concerned changing the zoning could cause problems in the future. Nancy Myers and her husband own apartment units in the area and she was directly involved with establishing the current

Car crushing at festival MARIA STEIN – The BIGFOOT Monster Trucks have thrilled millions of fans around the world. Each year BIGFOOT does over 700 appearances per year. The Maria Stein Country Fest is excited to be included as one of the venues for BIGFOOT to make its thrilling appearance. BIGFOOT will be on display throughout the Country Fest weekend on June 27-29 in Maria Stein with a “one

time only” car crushing extravaganza on Sunday at 9 p.m. The giant ﬁberglass Monster Truck with 66x43x25 Firestone tires and a 572 c.i. engine has a unique nitrogen shock/ cantilever suspension which gives it about two feet of suspension travel. BIGFOOT’s appearance is sponsored by Huelsman Automotive, Firestone Tires, Central Soft Water and Zurcher Tires of Monroe, IN.

zoning of the property. She was worked for the City of Greenville in the auditor’s office at the time it was zoned Neighborhood Business. She pointed out a citizens group, local businesses and the administration felt there needed to be a buffer between General Business districts and residential areas. Jean Anderson lives on Memorial Drive and is concerned with the traffic flow. She pointed out there were problems when the drive-thru was open. Because of a narrow street, truck and cars would have to go on to her lawn to avoid hitting each other. The drive-thru was only allowed to operate at that location because it was granted “Special Use” permission by Planning & Zoning. When it went out of business the Special Use circumstance was allowed to expire

and zoning reverted back to Neighborhood Business. Council members thanked the public for their input on this issue. Some council members noted they received several emails from constituents expressing their concern. Councilman Todd Oliver pointed out he was ready to vote in favor of rezoning the properties until he heard from the residents. In other business, council: * approved an ordinance waiving certain fees and bonds for the Greenville School District’s early site plan normally required by the city; * approved resolutions putting operating levies of 1.2 Mill and 3.8 Mill. Both are renewal levies, which would mean no new additional taxes; * approved an ordinance reducing the tap-in

GREENVILLE – Through July 27, Dayton-area Kroger stores will be supporting local school classrooms with its seventh annual Crayons to Classrooms Back to School Supply Drive! Customers will ﬁnd donation containers in 32 local stores, including the Greenville Kroger store, 200 Lease Ave., which is more than double the number of stores involved in the campaign this year! With their generosity, Kroger will help provide crayons, pencils, notebooks, and hundreds of other classroom items to children in our community’s neediest schools. These stores will also have pre-made school supply kits available for $5 as a monetary donation, and customers are encouraged to donate the supply kit as well. In the past, Kroger has given DC2C over $50,000 in monetary donations and over $116,000 in product donations. Kroger has also donated three storage trailers, worth close to $3,000, for DC2C to store supplies throughout the year - allowing them to have a more spacious and organized warehouse. “Many students in our community go to school every day without the necessary supplies need-

ed to learn. Thanks to the generous support of The Kroger Company, Crayons to Classrooms will be in a much better position to ﬁll this need and to help teachers create a more productive learning environment,” said Steve Rubenstein, executive director of Crayons Classrooms. “This drive allows many less fortunate children to have the basic tools necessary to learn successfully,” said Sukanya Madlinger, President of Kroger’s Cincinnati/ Dayton Division. “There isn’t one of us that do not remember the thrill of new notebooks, crayons, and pens and pencils that signaled the start of a new school year. There are far too many children in our community who do not get to experience that thrill. Education is a core value of The Kroger Company and we are thrilled to partner with Crayons to Classrooms for this important campaign.” Crayons to Classrooms is a free resource center for teachers from under-funded K-12 schools serving children who live in poverty in the Miami Valley area of Ohio.

Prints and Cigar Box Guitars on display at Bear’s Mill GREENVILLE – During the month of July, “Art at the Mill” will feature the work of Marietta, Ohio printmaker Bobby Rosenstock and cigar box guitars crafted by Mike Knisely of Arcanum. The exhibit at historic Bear’s Mill opens on June 27 with a reception featuring hors d’oeuvres and drinks from 6-9 p.m.; the artists will speak brieﬂy about their creations, methods, and inspiration at 7 p.m. The exhibit will remain on display through July 20. “Bobby has created posters for musicians Willie Nelson, Arlo Guthrie, Dr. John, Taj Mahal and Soundgarden, to name a few; Mike creates unique, beautiful, and playable instruments that are a joy to behold,” said Julie Clark, retail manager and gallery coordinator for Bear’s Mill. “This exhibit is different from anything we’ve ever presented in the gallery, and is not only going to be interesting, but will also be a whole lot of fun,” Ms. Clark stated. Mike Knisely worked as a carpenter for over 20 years before being downsized in 2009. While enrolled in design courses, he chose an elective in Guitar Design and Construction, and was intrigued with the concept. He discovered the rich history of homemade instruments, and began building his own guitars from scratch.

When he noticed a curious three-stringed guitar in a magazine photo, his subsequent research uncovered enthusiastic support for the art of constructing such instruments. He was hooked, and says he hopes to make his own mark on this time-honored tradition. Bobby Rosenstock, who recently received an “Excellence in Design” award from the Ohio Arts Council, owns one of the only woodcut and letterpress poster studios in the country where he creates modern works of art deeply rooted in an ageold craft. Rosenstock believes that printmaking is meant to be shared with other people. “I present characters and stories through my prints; it is my way of creating unique art works that are affordable and accessible to everyone,” the artist explained. Art At the Mill receives financial support from Darke County Endowment for the Arts. Art exhibits are on view during regular Mill store hours, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., daily. Historic Bear’s Mill is owned and operated by Friends of Bear’s Mill, a non-profit organization, and is located at 6450 Arcanum-Bear’s Mill Road about five miles east of Greenville. For more information, contact Bear’s Mill at 548-5112 or www.bearsmill.com.

Golf outing holds 12th year to beneﬁt local families BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER GREENVILLE - The Kenny Monnier Memorial golf outing will be held June 21 at the Stillwater golf course in Webster. This is the 12th year for the annual event that raises money for local families affected by cancer. The outing is in honor of former Bradford resident Kenny Monnier who battled Hodgkin disease for over 17 years before dying at the age of 34 years old. According to lifelong friends and co-founders of the organization, Ralph “Beener” Wood and Bobby Floyd, Kenny was an avid golfer and always found a way to be involved in any outing that helped beneﬁt a cause. Kenny was even

featured in an edition of ProHealth Magazine discussing bone marrow treatment and battling cancer. “Kenny was a very generous person and never complained about anything,” Wood told The Early Bird. “He was the most courageous person I have ever met,” Floyd added. Since starting the beneﬁt, the Kenny Monnier Memorial has funded over 85 families in Darke and Miami Counties. The event consists of 36 teams with 144 overall players, approximately 80 sponsors donate, including a free Ford Focus automobile for a player that hits a hole-in-one from Dave Knapp Ford, Lincoln.

Free youth football camp holds 21st year BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Over 160 youngsters signed up for the annual Matt Light Football Camp held June 16 and 17 at Good Samaritan Stadium at Harmon Field in Greenville. According to Larry Masters, camp coordinator and former football head coach of Greenville and Arcanum varsity football, 18 men volunteered their time to help teach the kids fundamentals of all aspects of the game. The instructors ranged from area football coaches to college players from Purdue, Iowa, and Wisconsin Badger Jake Current who attended the camp while playing for Troy. This was the 21st year for what began as the All-Conference Football Camp and only the second year the free camp was held on Matt Lightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high school alma mater ďŹ eld. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is great to see the camp got to move to Harmon Field,â&#x20AC;? Light told The Early Bird. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives camp a genuine football feel.â&#x20AC;? Kids going into grades two through nine spent two days learning defensive techniques, offensive teamwork and special teams, not to mention got some good conditioning in preparation for the upcoming 2014 season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a real cool way for me to connect with something I grew up doing,â&#x20AC;? Light added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great to see so many kids come out to a camp like this and doing something

Larry Masters and his wife Sherry make the annual trip to Greenville each year, from their Florida home, along with their daughter Paige and grandson Preston to hold the camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is so neat getting to watch all the kids that come out year after year grow up,â&#x20AC;? Sherry Masters said. She told The Early Bird that Larry begins planning on May 1st to get everything in order. Besides coaching at Greenville and Arcanum, Larry Masters also held coaching positions with Northmont and Alter High Schools during his career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Offering the camp gives some kids an opportunity to come out that may not have been able to if it had cost money,â&#x20AC;? Larry said. Masters said the camp will keep happening every year and hopes to see even more come out and have fun in 2015.

DARKE COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Darke County families have the opportunity to host a student from France for three weeks this summer, July 7-27. The student travel is made possible through LEC (Langues, Education, Connaissance), a Paris-based student language and travel organization whose mission is to promote international understanding and friendship. Both boys and girls are available and are between the ages of 14 and 17. All of the students speak English, but one of the reasons for their travel is to be with an American family so that they can improve their English. They are insured and bring their own spending money. Host families receive a stipend. American families should provide hospitality, friendship, and a safe environment. It is not necessary for children or teenagers to be in the household, but for the most part someone does

need to be at home and available to the student during the day. They come here to discover our country and culture, experience the American way of life, and improve their English. An adult French chaperone will travel with the group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a unique educational experience for the whole family,â&#x20AC;? said LEC President Roland Stern. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a short-term, three-week program, it is often more appealing to families than a full school-year program. There are several teens arriving on July 7. They are anxiously waiting to hear from their American families, and anyone interested is encouraged to contact the area coordinator immediately for more information.â&#x20AC;? LEC has been sending students to the U.S. since 1984. For more information, contact the LEC General Coordinator at swrtzdtz@aol.com or call 317-788-7993 or 317-670-7700.

He wanted to really challenge himself with this springâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show and decided to give writing a try. The Murder Mysteries are known for having a theme and this one is no different, entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Radical Records Righteous Revealâ&#x20AC;? the play has an 80â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme. The remaining shows are sold out. Chris is also writing the fall murder mystery, which will be a super hero theme.

He is the drama advisor at Greenville Senior High School, where he directs their productions. Chris would like to thank DCCT president, Dane Leeper, by saying that he really appreciates the opportunities he has been presented with. He would also like to thank his friends and family for always being so supportive of everything he is involved with.

never guess they hold millions of wax worms! Started by their father many years ago, today it is a family business and a very interesting one! We had a guided tour and saw everything from the babies to the adults in the process of being shipped

to their final destination. From there we traveled to the State Fish Hatchery at St Marys, Ohio to learn about all the steps involved to make sure Ohio has enough stock for the fisherman who fish Ohio’s waterways.

Exceptional Service Compassionate Care Proven Results

Most people do not think about residents in skilled nursing spending time outside in a nature reserve, surrounded by trees, lush foliage, and wildlife but that’s exactly how many of our residents spent a warm, sunny, Thursday afternoon in May.

The paved trail at Shawnee Prairie is ideal for our residents and it’s the perfect distance for a stroll. In addition to our Activity Staff, two volunteers, Maurie Wells and John Clack, pushed the residents in wheelchairs, through the woods. The residents had a great

Shuff Adult Day Center offers more than Adult Day services for individuals who may be experiencing physical or cognitive challenges. It offers a safe, stimulating, home-like environment for members to enjoy. It provides a respite break for family caregivers so they can work or tend to their own responsibilities and errands and keep their loved one at home. It truly is a home away from home for many participants during the day. Shuff Adult Day Center, located on the campus of Brethren Retirement Community, is open Monday through Friday from 9 am – 4pm. Participants may attend half or full-day sessions. Fees are structured at an affordable level. In addition to paying privately, the attendance fee may be covered by PASSPORT or the Alzheimer’s Association or Veterans Administration. Some long-term care insurance policies may also provide coverage for the fee. Clients may attend one to ﬁve days a week, depending on their needs and only pay for the days they attend. No two days are alike for our members and they enjoy the spontaneity of the numerous social interactions and activities that are planned. Today was a busy day in Shuff Adult Day Center with lots of activities going on. Pastor Todd was there doing a Bible Study, some members

were using the new iPads, several were busy working on an art project and a few were relaxing. Over and over, the members of the Shuff Center share how much they enjoy the staff, Pastor Todd, one another and the food! Our new iPads

are very popular with the participants and they are getting a lot of use out of them. They enjoy playing games, watching videos and surﬁng the web! For more information, or to do a free trial, please call 937-5477600.

Elizabeth White crowned Miss Chick 2014

They came for the candy. While thousands lined the parade route for the annual Poultry Days Grand Parade, many of them were children who spent more time watching for candy than the parade itself. (Bob Robinson photo)

Parade and chicken were top Poultry Days attractions BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR VERSAILLES – “I came here for the candy,” said the young man. His little sister echoed him. For Annabelle Menke, it was her third trip to the annual Versailles Poultry Days Parade, while brother Michael boasted eight visits. They consented to a picture behind the painted chickens near them on the parade route. “We’ll scare the chickens from laying eggs,” Michael said. They had arrived early for the June 14 event. While thousands of people lined the parade route, tens of thousands more came for the chicken. Six thousand were sold by Friday evening. They were reportedly sold out by 4:30 p.m. Saturday. Volunteers said they expected to sell about 25,500 chickens. While visitors were there, they enjoyed the industrial and business area, food and concessions, bingo, crafts, art and photography, Ultimate Frisbee tournament, the 5K run/ walk and more. A proud former Versailles resident, Dianne Poeppleman, announced her son Tory O’Connor had won the 5K for the third year in a row. His time was 16:55. The parade crowds were heaviest in the downtown area. Of particular interest to those waiting for the parade to start was the “Sculptural Village” in downtown Versailles. Many children, including 4-year-old Jenna Whitlington, liked to sit next to the statue of the

painter. Among the local and area visitors were about a dozen fourth, ﬁfth and sixth graders from China. Henry Yan, one of the advisors, explained this was a summer camp tour. They work on learning English in the morning, then tour the area they happen to be in. They started on the East Coast and have worked their way to Versailles. It was the second time they’d been there for the Poultry Days parade. Yan said they were from Xi-An, the ancient capital of China. “That’s where they found the soldiers buried

in the wall (Great Wall of China),” he said. They were ancient warriors who had died protecting China from invaders to the west, he added. According to Versailles Fire Department volunteers there were 104 entries; the parade lasted a little over an hour. Another volunteer said chicken sales wouldn’t start until 11, and by 12:15 the line was stretched beyond the sidewalk and along the street. That didn’t stop the vendors from making their proﬁts… most had lines six to a dozen or more deep.

Family Fun Series entertaining and educational BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR GREENVILLE – “This is scientifically called The Cascade!” Tom Sparough was juggling a series of balls. He changed his position. “This is scientifically called… The Cascade!” He changed positions several more times… same answer. He dropped to the floor without missing a beat… “And this is scientifically called?” Two hundred kids (including a few parents) yelled out “Cascade!” He said, no. “Reverse Cascade.” Sparough kept them laughing with a unique variety of juggling styles and approaches, including the one he does in the shower. “On the body, under the arms and this one is scientifically called… the pits!” He also showed them the “string theory,” which he simply refers to as the yo-yo. Sparaough was the first Family Fun Days performer of the 2014 summer season. Seven more are planned with funding provided by the Greenville

Friends of the Library. “Each year we see more and more people participating in our summer programs,” said Library Assistant Director Susi Halley. “It’s because the library offers such fun activities for all age groups. These Family Fun Days are really special - great entertainment for the whole family.” The Sparough performance was fast moving. At one point he told the kids he would reach 100 mph… he kept speeding up but kept hitting himself in the nose. He didn’t make the anticipated speed. Sparough got the audience involved, bringing ﬁve kids up front to

“punch, catch, kick, catch and break the balloon by sitting on it (with the ‘unmentionable”). Family Fun Days is every Wednesday at 11 a.m. through July 30. Earlier this week, the library presented Minnetrista puppeteers, with Leonardo the musician planned for next week. All shows are designed to be educational as well as entertaining. Sparough notes on his website he provides “life-skill” messages with his entertainment. He also says he lives in Cincinnati with his wife, two children and “and most of the other children in the neighborhood.”

BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR VERSAILLES – “I went into this hoping to at least get onto the court… I can’t believe this! The community has given me so much. I want to give back!” An excited Elizabeth White couldn’t stop smiling as she acknowledged she’ll be super busy… “But so excited, so much fun; I can’t wait to meet new people.” Keith Rawlins, Master of Ceremonies of the 2014 Poultry Days Miss Chick Pageant, paused for several seconds with three young ladies still waiting (the two runnersup had already been announced)… then named contestant No. 2, Elizabeth White. White is the daughter of Ron and Rachel White and sponsored by Encore! Showchoir. First Runnerup Courtney Rose is the daughter of Richard and Carolyn Rose, and sponsored by Canine Capers 4-H Club. Second Runner-up Cassidy Condon is the daughter of Gary and Teresa Condon, and sponsored by Edwin F. Nickol Monuments, Inc. Also among the Top Five were Taylor Stover, daughter of Eric and Julie Stover, sponsored by Pohl Transportation, and Rachel Osterloh, daughter of Luke and Sharon Osterloh, sponsored by Versailles FFA. Fifteen contestants vied for the title of Miss Chick 2014. They went through an interview process prior to the June 14 competition. In the ﬁrst round, each contestant answered a different question, then presented themselves to the judges and the audience. The Top Five had a second round of questions. In response to her question White said personal failures “make you stronger – it builds stronger people” and encourages them to achieve their successes in life. First runner-up Rose said the most important thing to teach the child you will have some day is to “be yourself, do your best” and be successful. Second runner-up Condon said technology is a positive inﬂuence in today’s society and used the example of her adopted little

brother from Ethiopia. At the Little Miss Poultry Days competition Miss Chick 2013 Lauren Gehret said she had forgotten her number the previous year and didn’t think she had won until she saw her mother crying in the audience. When she heard her name she started crying. Her advice to this year’s contestants? “Memorize your number!” White took her advice. Also helping with questions and answers were 2013 First Runner-up Kristen Collins and Second Runner-up Jaclyn Lawrence. The contest is open to any female 16 to 18. To enter the only requirement is get a sponsor, a car and a dress, have signs made and “mentally prepare yourself,” said Stover. Contestant Malinda Barlage said it’s very nerve wracking; at the same time it’s lots of fun. She was in it last year. The girls said they were (12 of the 15) pretty close knit friends, with Oster-

loh noting no matter who won they would support each other. “You just give it a good shot.” Rawlins, artistic director for Darke County Center for the Arts, noted how beautiful they all looked, then asked contestant Holly Dirksen if she was going to do cartwheel today like she did for the interview. Someone asked if he would catch them if they tripped and fell… Rawlins noted he was likely the one to trip and fall. He explained his job was to make the young ladies as comfortable as possible while they were out there; then in response to a contestant asking about the time, he said “1:40… you have 20 minutes to stew about it.” Contestants in addition to those mentioned were Presley Oda, Ariana Barnhart, Andrea Luthman, Abigail Nealeigh, Gabrielle Walker, Emily Walters, Abbey Didier and Cailin Litten.

Ridenour chosen Little Miss Poultry Days 2014

BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR VERSAILLES – Ken DeMange warned a packed house they never know what’s going to happen or sometimes even what they’ll say as he prepared to introduce the 28 candidates for the 2014 Little Miss Poultry Days competition June 13. Ninety minutes later three judges had trimmed the ﬁeld to 10, then to the Little Miss and her Court. Star Ridenour, 6, daughter of Tena Black, Versailles was crowned Little Miss Poultry Days 2014. The two members of her Court were First Runner-Up Josie Ward, 4, daughter of Justin and Sara Ward, Miamisburg, and Second Runner-Up Gracie Hughes, 5, daughter of Ryan and Memori Hughes of New Bremen. “It takes a lot of courage for these young ladies to get up here in front of everyone,” DeMange said. “Please give them a lot of support.” DeMange, who was the Master of Ceremonies, asked the same questions of all 28 contestants, focusing primarily on “Where did you get your dress (or outﬁt)?”

Little Miss Poultry Days 2014 Star Ridenour, center, and her Court: First Runner-up Josie Ward (right) and Second Runner-up Gracie Hughes. (Bob Robinson photo)

Answers included grandma, mom or aunt made it; and from the Internet. “What’s your favorite movie?” Half of them said Walt Disney’s “Frozen.” One young lady not only didn’t list Frozen but when it was mentioned she said “I don’t like that!” While they were waiting for the judges to make their decisions, they were asked to dance to the movie’s lead song, “Let it Go;” to echoes of “I don’t like it!” The young lady still danced. The other seven contestants reaching the Top 10 were Brooke Davis, 6, of Troy, Gracyn Beasley, 4, of Versailles, Skylyn Bradley, 4, of Versailles,

Allison Pierron, 5, of Bradford, Hailey Ellis, 5, of Versailles, Lillian Grilliot, 6, of Versailles and Caleigh Stebbins, 4, of Bradford. DeMange referred to all the young ladies as winners…. Jenna Breeze (6), Isley DeMange (5), Kenszie Glass (5), Alayna Huelskamp (6), Audra Bornhorst (5), Lydia Ward (4), Brooke Keiser (4), Hannah Luthman (4), Ava Billenstein (5), Lydia Ahrns (5), Madison Yagle (6), Corynn Goubeaux (4), Baylee Roll (6), Lexi Timmerman (4), Lucy Schneible (6), Samantha Knapke (4), Shawna Schmitmeyer (6) and Caylee Wombold (5).

Arcanum Library events planned

CAP’s Summer Crisis program

ARCANUM – The summer reading program has kicked into high gear at the Arcanum Public Library. Patrons have participated in a very messy science day ﬁlled with slime, ooze, ﬂubber and more. Movie Wednesdays, complete with popcorn, have been a hit. The Bandz craft day was a huge success. These were in addition to the weekly prizes given out, a wonderful program given by Mr. Molecule, and their popular story time on Tuesdays. With two weeks down, there are still weeks left packed with activities for young and old. Next week at the library, come to the Recycle Robot event on June 23, noon, to construct your own robot using recycled items. On Tuesday, bring the little ones to story time for a story and craft. Program times are 10 and 11 a.m.

GREENVILLE – Community Action Partnership is accepting appointments for the Summer Crisis Program. The program will begin July 1 and run through Aug. 31. Darke County residents who are income eligible and age 60 or older may qualify for beneﬁts. Call for program guidelines. Darke County residents younger than the age of 60 and who meet program guidelines must have a physician statement for assistance. Air conditioners will be distributed if available. To qualify for an air conditioner, a member of the household must be over the age of 60 or must have

O June 25, the library will be showing the movie Robots at 10 a.m. and Batteries Not Included at 2 p.m. Popcorn will be served at both movies. On Thursday, come hear all about the planets and solar system when the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery comes at 10 a.m. The program is suitable for all ages. For this event, please get your seating ticket from the library ahead of time as seating space is limited. They will also be waiting on their caterpillars to transform into beautiful butterﬂies – hopefully by the end of the week, and handing out more weekly prizes. As always, information about these program and more is posted on the library’s website, www.arcanumpubliclibrary.org. You can also call 692-8484.

Health Dept. holds vaccine clinics GREENVILLE – The Darke County Health Department would like to encourage all infants, kindergarteners and seventh graders to visit them for their immunizations this summer. Clinics are on Tuesdays from 8-10:30 a.m. and 2-5 p.m. every week. The closer it gets to school starting, the longer the waiting lines become at clinic. There have been several reported cases of Measles in the US from Jan. 1 to June 6. Ohio is reporting 303 cases during this time period. The affected Counties are Ashland, Coshocton, Highland, Holmes, Knox, Richland, Stark, and Wayne. Measles are highly contagious, spread through the air by an infected person coughing or sneezing. Of the reported cases, 90% occurred in unvaccinated people. When individuals are fully vac-

cinated, the MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine is 97% effective in preventing Measles. Infants cannot receive Measles vaccine (MMR) until 12 months of age. They depend on their mothers’ antibodies (if mom has been immunized), and their community being properly immunized around them. Health ofﬁcials urge parents to use caution and should consider not traveling with infants to areas where Measles outbreaks are occurring. So do your part in protecting loved ones and the community by being vigilant about getting immunized on time. From the very young to the very old, all are welcome to participate in maintaining a healthy community. The Darke County Health Department is located at 300 Garst Ave., Greenville, 548-4196.

BBBS after school program concludes GREENVILLE – The Big Brothers Big Sisters High School mentoring program concluded its 2013/14 “Big Buddies” after-school program. Each site celebrated with ice cream/cookie parties, games and crafts. The program pairs high school sophomores, juniors and seniors with local youth and the “matches” meet twice a month throughout the school year. The High School “Buddies” work together with their “Littles” on activities that focus on educational and social enhancement, as well as personal safety. All activities are planned and supervised by the Big Brothers Big Sisters staff. The locations for the

2013/14 Darke County Big Buddies program included sites in Greenville at Woodland Heights Elementary, and Versailles Elementary Big Brother Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County is a nonprofit United Way agency and an affiliate organization of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. Any high school student interested in becoming a mentor for the 2014-2015 school year should call the office at 492-7611 or 547-9622. The agency is also still in need of local adult volunteer mentors as well. If you have a couple of hours to spare two times a month we have volunteer opportunities for you.

One of the high school seniors stated, “Career Day was very beneficial for me to decide between engineering and nursing.”A freshman stated, “Career Day was helpful for me to know that I am taking the right classes to prepare me for my future, and I want to be able to job shadow when I get older.” A former VHS graduate and current teacher stated, “I wish we had a Career Day when I was in high school, which would have been very beneficial for my educational path.” The Career & Technology Department members would like to thank everyone involved with the first Versailles High School Career Day.

WILMINGTON – Wilmington College senior Bethany C. Ahrens, of Versailles, was recently recognized for induction into Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges during the college’s 33rd annual Student Recognition Ceremony.

She also was inducted into the Green Key Society, Wilmington College’s honor society founded in May 1951. It was organized to recognize superior scholarship by students from WC in the years following accreditation by the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges in 1944. Juniors and seniors become eligible for Green Key membership upon the completion of 75 or 90 semester hour, respectively, with gradepoint averages of 3.75 and 3.50 respectively.
