Fries cuts ribbon; first day ‘a great start’ SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – It’s official. Greenville school administrators and board members gathered Thursday morning for a ribboncutting ceremony at the city’s new K-8th grade building.

Just a couple hours earlier, students successfully made their way to the first day of class following an extended winter break.

“The first day is off to a great start,” said Superintendent Doug Fries, thanking building principals, volunteers and staff who were on hand to help guide students in the right

direction.

Fries again thanked the Greenville community for their support.

“This is an exciting day for Greenville City Schools,” Fries said, noting that the new state-of-theart facility will “enhance education” and provide “increased accessibility” for families and community members utilizing the building. The new school also includes up-to-date security and safety measures.

Transportation director Andrew Grasty was pleased with how the district’s revised bus routes handled the first day transporting students to the new Ohio Street facility.

“Things went well. Big kudos to our drivers,” he said. A few students missed their bus stops due to their confusion on the new start time, Grasty said. “But everyone made it to school.”

A bond issue passed in August 2013 by voters is funding the $55 million project, Fries said. An Ohio Facilities Construction Commission project, the state’s share is $20 million.

Between 1,700 and 1,800 students in grades K-8 are attending the new 230,000 square-foot facility.

A public open house and dedication ceremony is being planned for 2 p.m.

Sunday, Feb. 26.

Darke County earns 10 Best of Ohio awards RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Best of Ohio results for 2017 are in from Ohio Magazine and Darke County has 10 events, restaurants, and historical sites chosen by readers. Many are making a return appearance on the list, but some are making the list for the first time.

The Great Darke County Fair, which starts the third Friday in August, has long been considered by local residents as the best in the state. Readers of Ohio Magazine prove what locals have known all along. The fair earned the award in the Best County Fair category.

Although still fairly new compared to some festivals around the state, The Gathering at Garst has returned

Motorists will face detour on SR 571 GREENVILLE – The Darke County Engineer and Darke County Sheriff are issuing a public notice on the impending closure of State Route 571 east of Greenville. This closure will impact travel on the east side of Greenville which is an area with many manufacturing and industrial businesses.

On Jan. 16, State Route 571 will be closed to thru traffic between JaysvilleSt. Johns Road and USR 36. This closure will last 60 days, or more, for the construction of a new bridge over Bridge Creek.

During this closure, all trucks will be prohibited from traveling East on SR 571 from USR 36, except those trucks making deliveries or pickups to businesses accessed from SR 571, West of Jaysville-St. Johns.

Westbound trucks on SR 571 coming to Greenville shall use Lansdowne Avenue and Jaysville-St. Johns Road, South of Lans-

to the list. The festival continues to grow and gets better every year, which is evident by the votes in the Best Summer Festival category.

Long before any of the local businesses or sites on this “Best of” were around, a historical building on the outskirts of Greenville was milling wheat into flour.

Bear’s Mill, one of only a few working mills still operating around country, earned the award for Best Historical Site.

Many in Darke County still haven’t discovered the hidden treasure that is Garst Museum. The museum has excellent displays on Ft. GreeneVille, Annie Oakley, Lowell Thomas and much more. Visitors to the museum know it is a treasure and so does the rest of Ohio with the award for Best History Museum.

The officer began compressions. The Greenville Township Squad arrived on scene and administered NARCAN. Upon investigation, the officer located an empty capsule in the bathroom, as well as three syringes in the trash. Sturgill admitted to shooting the heroin in the bathroom, which

he mistakenly thought was meth, which he uses instead of heroin. He also admitted coming to the apartment with one syringe. He refused further treatment. Sturgill was advised of his rights and was told he needed to seek treatment for his drug addiction within 30 days. At that time, the officer will check back with Sturgill on his treatment progress.

Upon arrival, the officer observed a male subject in the driver’s seat of a black Honda Accord that was sitting at the intersection of Magnolia Drive and Holly Hill Drive. The driver, David Benton Jr. did not respond to the officer tapping on the window

so the officer opened the driver’s door and nudged him to get his attention.

The vehicle was parked well into the roadway, about five feet from the curb, at the intersection.

The officer asked Benten several times for his name and driver’s license but he was not able to function enough to remove his wallet from his pants pocket. After speaking with Benton, the officer detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from inside the vehicle. Benton was very disorientated and did not know where he was or why the police stopped him. Benton’s speech was slurred and he could not put a complete sentence together.

Benton was asked to exit the vehicle and upon exiting, the officer detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage now coming from his person and discovered Benton had urinated in his pants. Benton was very unsteady on his feet and had to have officer assistance in standing upright. He refused to perform field sobriety tests, was placed under arrest and transported to the Greenville Police Department. Benton’s vehicle was pushed off the roadway onto Holly Hill Drive and secured. Upon arriving at the police department, agreed to give a sample of his breath, however Benton would not blow into the mouth piece.

BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – After a translator issue forced a plea hearing set for Monday to be rescheduled, 29-year-old illegal immigrant Hermelando Chacon appeared Thursday afternoon in the Darke County Common Pleas Court.

Chacon entered a guilty plea to a sole count of Rape, a felony of the first degree. As part of a plea agreement with the state, Assistant Prosecutor Deborah S. Quigley dismissed several other felony sexrelated charges that appeared on the indictment.

Following the plea, Judge Jonathan P. Hein immediately moved to the sentencing portion of the hearing. Judge Hein ordered Chacon spend the next five years in prison, which was the mutual agreed upon sentence

OBITUARIES

NMVO Red Cross celebrates centennial GREENVILLE – With World War I raging overseas and events such as the Great Flood of 1913 still fresh in the memories of many in the region, leaders through Northern Miami Valley set about to find a way to protect the citizens of the area. Their solution: The establishment of American Red Cross chapters throughout the region.

In 1917, Red Cross chapters came into existence in Darke, Miami, Shelby, Clark, Champaign and Logan counties, and for the last 100 years the Red Cross has been helping prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of disasters in the area. From health and safety classes to supporting members of the military, the Red Cross has helped to make our community safer and more prepared.

The Red Cross is kicking off a yearlong celebration of its 100 years of serving the Northern Miami Valley. For the

In Memory of Phyllis Marlene Pouder, gone three years Jan. 16, 2014.

I wish Heaven had a phone so I could hear your voice again. I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday and the days before, too. I think of you in silence. I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a photo in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake from which I’ll never part. God has you in his arms and I have you in my heart.

Chester, Denise & Lee, Duane & Lynn, Deborah & Steve, Sister Doris Mikesell

next 12 months, they will be commemorating the many past and present contributions of the Red Cross and amazing volunteers who have given so much of their own lives to reach out and care for others, providing warmth and comfort when hope seems to be lost.

During the coming year, they will be hosting a number of special centennial events. More details on those events will be made available closer to the dates they are held.

They are also offering opportunities for the entire community to celebrate the contributions the American Red Cross these past 100 years through their gifts of: * Time: Volunteers are the heart and soul of the Red Cross, helping save lives, providing lifesaving services and leadership, and helping neighbors to prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies.

As they celebrate 100 years, they are offering special opportunities for others to help shape the next 100 years. * Money: The mission and work of the Red Cross is as important today as it was in 1917 when they first opened their doors, and the way they fund that work is the same as well---through the generosity of the people of the community. During this milestone year, they are offering those in the community a way to have an immediate impact on the organization’s future, making sure their critical work will grow and sus-

Burns celebrate 40th anniversary ARCANUM – On Jan. 21, Chester and Diana Burns will celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary.

They were married in 1977 at the Greenville Church of the Brethren by Rev. Clarence Fairbanks. It was during the mini-blizzard and fuel shortage. There was no heat in the church and some of the attendees wore their coats. Diana’s house was in Arcanum and the street was shut off by huge snow drifts. Parking was on another street and the minister’s wife fell in a snow bank on the way to the reception. It was quite a tie. The next year was the big blizzard.

They have seven children, Mark Burns (Gloria), Neal Burns (Brenda),

Paula DeVone (Chris), Terry Wetzel, Rick Wetzel (deceased), Tom Wetzel (Denise), Joe Wetzel (Renate), 10 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. Chester and Diana are both retired from Whirlpool and reside in rural Arcanum.

They will be having a dinner with their family.

GREENVILLE – Trouble in Paradise (1932) is a witty and racy pre-Code comedy that tells the story of two master con-artists (Herbert Marshall and the inimitable Miriam Hopkins) who fall in love after trying to pull cons on each other. When their money runs out, they must find a rich and gullible victim to unwittingly fund their expensive lifestyle. They target the owner of a world famous perfume line (Kay Francis), but things get complicated when Marshall’s character develops complicated feelings for his charming mark.

Ernst Lubitsch made a series of excellent romantic comedies in the early 1930s. These films were marked by fast and

clever dialogue, perfect comedic timing, and suggestive themes that were quite daring for their time.

When Joseph Breen took over the Hays office in 1934 and began strictly enforcing the production code that governed morality in Hollywood films, Lubitsch’s edgy style had to be curbed. These early talkie comedies show the direction Hollywood humor might have gone were it not for the Hays Code.

Join them on Jan. 26, 7 p.m., at the Greenville Public Library for this hilarious and stylish movie.

David Nilsen will be leading a brief discussion after the movie, and, as always, there will be free theater popcorn, candy, coffee, and Jones Soda.

ON YOUR MIND

SBA disaster loans available in Ohio ATLANTA – The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announced that federal Economic Injury Disaster Loans are available to small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and private nonprofit organizations located in Ohio as a result of the drought from May 24 thru Oct. 21, 2016.

This disaster declaration includes the following Ohio counties: Athens, Auglaize, Darke, Mercer, Monroe, Morgan, Noble, Shelby, Van Wert and Washington.

“When the Secretary of Agriculture issues a disaster declaration to help farmers recover from damages and losses to crops, the Small Business Administration issues a declaration to eligible entities affected by the same disaster,” said Frank Skaggs, director of SBA’s Field Operations Center East in Atlanta.

Under this declaration, the SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan program is available to eligible farmrelated and nonfarm-related entities that suffered financial losses as a direct result of this disaster. With the exception of aquaculture enterprises, SBA cannot provide disaster loans to agricultural producers, farmers, or ranchers. Nurseries are eligible to apply for economic injury disaster loans for losses caused by drought conditions.

The loan amount can be up to $2 million with interest rates of 2.625 percent

for private nonprofit organizations and four percent for small businesses, with terms up to 30 years. The SBA determines eligibility based on the size of the applicant, type of activity and its financial resources. Loan amounts and terms are set by the SBA and are based on each applicant’s financial condition. These working capital loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable, and other bills that could have been paid had the disaster not occurred. The loans are not intended to replace lost sales or profits.

Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBA’s secure website at https://disasterloan.sba. gov/ela.

Disaster loan information and application forms may also be obtained by calling the SBA’s Customer Service Center at 800-6592955 (800-877-8339 for the deaf and hard-of-hearing) or by sending an email to disastercustomerservice@ sba.gov. Loan applications can be downloaded from the SBA’s website at www. sba.gov/disaster.

Completed applications should be mailed to: U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155.

Completed loan applications must be returned to SBA no later than Sept. 5, 2017.

DC EMA sets Storm Spotter Training GREENVILLE – Darke County Emergency Management Agency will host an annual Storm Spotter Training on March 16, from 6:30–9 p.m. at the Shawnee Prairie Preserve, 4267 St Route 502, Greenville. To register for this class, contact Josh Haney at josh@ darkecountyema.org or (937) 548-1444. Please register by March 10. Class is limited to 50 students.

The training is conducted through the National Weather Service out of Wilmington and covers thunderstorm formation, severe weather production, and features associated with severe storms.

Also part of the class is tornado formation and behavior, non-threatening clues which may be mistaken for significant features, and safety when thunderstorms threaten. Details include storm ingredients, characteristics of severe storms, anatomy of a storm, supercell storms and rotation.

By providing citizens with this education it allows the Weather Service to receive

first hand reports of weather conditions from wherever the spotter is located. While “storm chasing” is not advised, reporting from your home, work or car (etc.) provides valuable information directly to meteorologists making decisions on watches and warnings.

With Severe Weather Awareness week coming up March 19–25, it’s a great time to think about preparing ourselves and families for the threat of severe spring/summer storms. If you do not currently own a NOAA Weather Radio consider purchasing one. These radios are programmable with voice and/alarm modes that will notify you, your family or your business of impending severe weather any time of day.

If you have any questions or would like additional information about preparing yourself, your family or your business, contact the Darke County Emergency Management Agency at (937) 548-1444 or through www. darkecountyema.org.

My Insurance Doesn’t Cover What?

COLUMBUS — Owning an insurance policy for your home or apartment should provide a sense of security, but Ohio Lieutenant Governor Mary Taylor said residents may need to Think Again about the details of their coverage before an incident brings them unexpected repair delays or costs.

“Make it a goal to review your insurance, to understand your coverage better and talk with your agent to ensure you insurance needs are met,” said Taylor, also director of the Ohio Department of Insurance.

Taylor provided tips on common insurance coverage questions for standard policies: Am I protected from flood damage?

Standard insurance generally does not offer protection against flood losses. Flood insurance needs purchased through the National Flood Insurance Program. Your agent can assist you. Also, coverage for sewer drain back up is not included – or is limited in scope – and must be added.

Huffman starts second term

COLUMBUS—State Representative Stephen Huffman (R-Tipp City) was recently sworn in as a member of the Ohio House of Representatives for the 132nd General Assembly.

He represents the 80th Ohio House District, which includes Miami County and portions of Darke County.

“I am honored to begin my second term as representative of the 80th House District,” said Representative Huffman. “I want to thank all of my constituents in Miami and Darke counties for their ongoing support and I look forward to what we can accomplish in the 132nd General Assembly.”

Representative Huffman resides in Tipp City with his wife, Kathryn, and his five children. He is the former Miami County Coroner and a practicing physician.

What about natural disasters like earthquakes and tornadoes?

Damage from an earthquake is not usually covered in a standard policy.

You need to purchase separate coverage. Tornado, wind and hail damage are typically covered.

What fire coverage is provided?

A typical policy will issue payment to replace or repair anything inside the home damaged by flames, smoke, soot and ash. While fire and lightning are usually covered, don’t be surprised if your insurer requests an inventory. The company is only required to pay for personal proper-

ty you can prove you owned at the time of loss.

How does insurance apply to explosions?

Standard insurance will typically cover damage caused by explosions due to certain causes such as a gas leak.

What if someone breaks in and steals my belongings?

Most standard policies cover items that have been stolen. Certain categories like jewelry, antiques and art often have payout limits unless you purchase additional coverage. If valuable items exceeding those limits are stolen and you don’t have the extra coverage you may receive payment far

less than the value.

What else isn’t typically covered?

Other risks not usually covered in a standard policy includes: terrorism, war, nuclear accident, landslide, mudslide, sinkhole and any others listed in your policy.

Remember to complete a home inventory. It will help you assess your coverage needs and prove vital if you file a claim. Visit www. insurance.ohio.gov for a home inventory checklist or download the free myHOME Scr.APP.book app.

Justin Ahrens reaches 1,000 point milestone in Versailles win over FM GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

VERSAILLES – The Versailles Tigers overcame a slow start while taking advantage of 36 Justin Ahrens points including his 1,000th career point to defeat the Franklin Monroe Jets 73-56.

“A lot of offensive firepower out there tonight,” said Versailles Coach Travis Swank. “A lot of good things to say about FM’s program and how hard they played tonight.”

“Tonight we lost but I’m going to lose with guys like that,” Jets Coach Troy Myers said. “This is a group I’ll lose with and I’m proud of them.”

Junstin Ahrens, a junior has verbally committed to play basketball for The Ohio State University used back-to-back free throws with 3:39 on the fourth quarter clock giving him 1,000 career points and a standing ovation from both sides of the court before closing out the night as the game’s leading scorer with

36 points.

“He deserves it,” Swank said of the standing ovation for J. Ahrens. “He’s been in the gym since he’s been out of the crib. He’s always got a ball in his hand and he works on his craft all the time. It’s a testament to his hard work and dedication to the game.”

The game saw two Franklin Monroe graduates going head to head on their respective benches with Troy Myers coaching the Jets and Travis Swank coaching the Versailles Tigers.

The Jets took the opening period by a 14-12 score getting six point from 6’9” Kameron Thurmond and five points from Ethan Conly.”

“I don’t think the first quarter we did a real good job of matching up,” said Versailles Coach Travis Swank. “They came out fired up ready to beat us and we just kinda threw the ball around…real lazy with the ball at times. I think we are better than what we showed here tonight even though we put

up 73.”

“I told our kids coming up here whoever is more prepared is going to set the tone,” FM Coach Troy Myers stated. “I really feel like we set the tone.”

Versailles took advantage of 12 Justin Ahrens second period points to outscore the visitors 23-11 and take a 35-25 lead to the halftime break.

FM battled back with 18 third quarter points with brothers, Ethan and Mason Coley combining for 13 points only to have Versailles add a point to its lead with twin brothers AJ and Justin Ahrens adding a combined 15 third period points sending the teams to the final period of play with the Tigers up 54-43.

The fourth period saw each team’s leading scorer on the night put nine points apiece in the book for their teams; the Jets 6’1’ sophomore Ethan Conley with a trey, two buckets and 2-2 at the line while the Tigers 6’6” junior Justin Ahrens

was burying a three-pointer, a basket and nailing 4-4 at the line to give the home team the 73-56 victory.

“Ethan (Conely)…he’s a load,” said Myers. “I love coaching him, not just because he can score. Justin (Ahrens) had 36 tonight. I don’t know what else you can do. You can run guys at him, you can do junk defense but that kid can play. There’s a reason why he probably signed before his junior. He had a heck of a night.”

“We didn’t quit match their intensity and play as good as what we are capable of,” Swank noted.

“They posed some matchup problems with their size and Conley’s athleticism.

We made the adjustments we needed and came out with a victory.”

Justin Ahrens led Versailles and all scorers in the game with 36 points including a perfect 6-6 at the line while Ethan Conley paced the Jets with 28 points.

GJHS Lady Wave record wins in new basketball court opener

BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – In the same day Greenville students started class at the new K-8 school facility, the Greenville 7th and 8th grade girls teams recorded victories in Thursday’s opening night of the new junior high basketball court.

After playing the final games ever at the old junior high on Tuesday, and just one day of practice on the new floor, Greenville had little time to prepare as they welcomed Fairborn.

Looking for their first win of the season, the 7th grade team did not want to record the first loss on the new court…and they didn’t!

Holding a 19-12 lead at halftime, the girls continued to execute into the second half and got their first win by a final of 33-28.

“We have had so many close games this season that just didn’t go our way in the end,” said 7th grade coach Dave Westfall. “Tonight we got our first win in the first game in the new gym…how great is that!”

The 8th grade team did not fare as well in the first half…trailing Fairborn 11-8 at the break. Fortunately, the second half proved to be a much different ballgame for the young Lady Wave.

Led by Abbie Yoder with 12 second half points and a big defensive effort to

hold Fairborn to just two points in the third quarter, Greenville stole the lead and sealed the victory by a final score of 29-23.

“It is a great feeling to be the first teams to win in our new gym,” said Yoder.

GJHS 8th grade coach Jeff Martin told The Early Bird how proud he was of the team for not giving up after a dismal first half.

“After a big loss on Tuesday at the old gym and only scoring eight points in the first half tonight, it would have been easy for the girls to give up…but they didn’t,” Coach Martin said. “We came out in the second half and played to win. It is great to have both teams get wins on the opening night in the new gym. They can always say they got the first wins on the floor and that is something nobody can ever take

from them!”

Greenville will travel to West Carrollton on Saturday for a GWOC battle with the Lady Pirates.

Greenville’s Brooke Perreira signs to run for IU East

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GEENVILLE – Greenville senior Brooke Perreira recently signed to run cross country for the Indiana University East Red Wolves . “I knew I wanted to continue to run in college,�

Perreira said. “Running has always been a part of me. It’s something I love.

It’s my passion and I knew I wouldn’t want to stop at after high school.â€? “We’re excited to have Brooke join us,â€? said IU East cross country coach Brett Crowley. “She has been a solid 21, 20 minute runner in high school and I think she has a lot of potential to go lower than that in college. She is joining a great group. We are on the rise and I think she will deďŹ nitely contribute early on.â€?

Perreira, the daughter of Nic and Shawna Perreira contacted IU East cross country coach Brett Crowley to initiate a successful recruiting process. “After I decided IU East was the college academically for me, I decided I wanted to run for them,� noted Perreira, “so I pursued them and asked them if I could consider running

Perreira plans to pursue a Nursing career while continuing a sport she not only has proved to be very successful with at GHS but is very passionate about. “They do have an excellent nursing program which is something I am real interested in going into and it’s also fairly close to home,� Perreira said. “They have a very excellent cross country program and it is something I wanted to

pursue‌had everything I wanted in a college.â€? “I think IU East is a great ďŹ t for Brooke with the nursing program and continuing her career running in college,â€? said Greenville Cross Country Coach Stephanie Lind. “She is going to be a huge asset for them. She is a really hard worker and a really great student. “ “Persistence, hard work,â€? Coach Lind said of Perreira’s successful running career. “She has been a determined athlete from the get go and I think she will do fantastic. I can’t wait to see her improve even more and grow with their program.â€?

Defense lifts Arcanum to win over Lady Roaders

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

ARCANUM – The Arcanum Lady Trojans used a Gracie Garno layup at 7:45 on the ďŹ rst quarter clock to take a 2-0 lead and never trail in defeating the visiting Bradford Lady Railroaders 53-20 in a Cross County Conference match-up. “We prepared hard for them,â€? Arcanum Coach Matt Grote stated. “The girls stepped up to the challenge.â€? “Hats off to them,â€?

Bradford Coach Patrick McKee said of the Lay Trojans. “Our team was stuck in ďŹ rst, maybe second gear and they were in ďŹ fth gear all night.â€?

Elle Siculan led the Lady Trojans to a 14-2 lead after one period of play drilling two three-pointers a basket and a free throw good for nine ďŹ rst quarter points.

After a slow start, the Lady Railroaders’ Chelsea Gill hit a second period three-pointer and two ďŹ eld goals to lead Bradford with seven of the teams nine second quarter points only to have the Lady Trojans’ McKenzie Sharritts knock down two triples leading Arcanum to a 27-11 halftime advantage.

Period No. 3 had Arcanum adding 14 points to

the board while keeping the visitors scoreless in the period to lead 41-11 heading to the ďŹ nal quarter of play. “We played really well,â€? noted Grote. “We locked down defensively. We have been getting after it in practice.â€?

Arcanum would take the ďŹ nal quarter 12-9 on its way to the CCC win. “They came out ready to play from the tip. They kept that same pace, that same energy and enthusiasm‌they kept it for four quarters. It was just a com-

pletely different pace than what our girls were playing at.�

Sharritts led all scorers in the game with 11 points with eight Lady Trojans getting in the scoring column as Coach Grote used his entire team in the win. “I like when we sub,�

Grote said. “We keep people fresh‌we play tough defense.â€?

PITSBURG – Franklin Monroe senior Bryanna Diceanu signed to play soccer for the IU East women’s soccer program.

Diceanu, the daughter of Danny and Claudette Diceanu is excited to play for the Lady Red Wolves in the school’s inaugural 20172018 NAIA women’s soccer season. “I’m very excited,� said Diceanu. “New opportunity and I love the school.�

Diceanu plans to further her education in the medical ďŹ eld while competing in a sport she excels at. “I’m kinda undecided now,â€? Diceanu said of her ďŹ eld of education. “I want to go into the medical ďŹ eld either Occupational Therapy or Nursing.

IU East tapped Shane Meridith to serve as the ďŹ rst head coach of the women’s soccer and is excited to have a well-known soccer name join the program. “We love that,â€? Meridith said of signing “a Diceanueâ€? to the program. “I am thrilled with not only getting a great player but a great person and meeting the family. This is really a great day.â€?

Meridith brings extensive college coaching experience to the new Red Wolf Program. Meridith won conference Coach of the Year honors twice during his tenure at Earlham College. Meridith served as an assistant coach for NCAA Division I programs at IUPUI, Miami University (Ohio) and the University of Iowa. “She’s a soccer junkie,�

Meridith said of Bryanna. “She has real good pedigree with her dad playing and family playing.�

Coach Meridith has no doubt Diceanu will be a major contributor. “She’s going to be somewhere in the attacking half, but whether that be as a target player or whether that be in the inďŹ eld,â€? noted Meridith. “Being a brand new program we’re going to have to put these pieces together‌the puzzle. The important thing is we are getting a nice piece of a puzzle here, so she’ll ďŹ t in some place. I’m conďŹ dent about that. Probably be on the front side of things‌attacking half.â€?

Diceanu comes from a soccer family where her father Danny was a 1984 second team All-American soccer player for the University of Scranton, was inducted into the school’s Wall of Fame in 2004 and has twice been named D-III Coach of the Year for the state of

Ohio in 2012 and 2014 while coaching boys soccer at FM. “Just a proud moment knowing that she is going to go on and play and that she has her heart in it,â€? said Bryanna’s father. “She’s the one deciding she wanted to do it‌not because I wanted her to.â€? “It will be fun to watch her grow and see what she can do with it and how far she will take it,â€? added Diceanu. “The most important thing is that you are able to get an education, follow your dream and pursue your desires.â€?

Franklin Monroe Lady Jets soccer coach Scott Howell is pleased Diceanu will represent the Lady Jets at the next level of competition. “Just goes to show you how much heart, dedication and commitment that Bryanna had,� said Howell. “I’m glad that she is getting a go play.

Where Sustainability & Productivity Meet How CPS C.A.R.E.S. works CPS C.A.R.E.S. gives growers tools and a About CPS C.A.R.E.S. The CPS C.A.R.E.S. program puts sustainability in the hands of farmers by providing resources to ensure maximum productivity while minimizing the environmental impact. CPS C.A.R.E.S. produces tangible results for farmers and the environment through: • Education • Seed recommendations • Technology • Nutrient-efficiency guidelines

Why it matters Farmers face public pressure

these days to increase their efforts to protect the environment. Given this increased public attention, as well as EPA and local government initiatives, farmers are turning to sustainable farming practices centered on nutrient management.

voice, so they can maximize their output while protecting the land and water for future generations. This includes: • Precision. Through the use of Echelon technology, producers can achieve precise placement of inputs, specifically fertilizer, which is a farmer’s largest input cost each season. Through the use of crop zone technology such as satellite imagery and soil testing, CPS C.A.R.E.S. will ensure farmers are making the right fertilizer applications for each acre to limit waste and optimize yield.

• Best Practices. Implementing best practices that include a sustainable approach is key to environmental stewardship. CPS C.A.R.E.S. promotes the use of the 4R nutrient stewardship program. The 4R program is a concept to use the right fertilizer source, at the right rate and right time, with the right placement.

• Products. The goal of CPS C.A.R.E.S. is to recommend product combinations that are proven to ensure nitrogen is available to the crop and stop its escape into the environment. This includes the use of nitrogen stabilizers, which prevent the loss of nitrogen into waterways and the atmosphere.

Kora Kerns recognized for influence on and off the court

BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY, Ind. – Union City senior Kora Kerns was presented with the Gary Horner Sportsmanship Award for her positive influence both on and off the court following Saturday’s Randolph County Tournament championship game.

“It was a total shock and surprise, because there are so many great seniors in the county. I am honored by the award and have had great role models and mentors – Sarah Black, Geoff and Nikki Grow,” Kerns told The Early Bird.

Kora was nominated for the honor by her basketball coach Sarah Black.

“She doesn’t know how to give anything, but 110 percent in everything she does,” Black said about Kerns. “She is never the

player you wish you could get more out of…but the player you wish you had more of.”

“She is not afraid to be a positive role model who stands up and leads people in a positive direction,” Black added. “Kora’s actions on the basketball court speak for themselves, but she does so much more outside of this arena to make a positive impact on others.”

Beyond basketball, Kora has participated in multiple sports at Union City Jr/Sr High and currently holds an impressive academic 3.77 GPA. Additionally, she dedicates her time to volunteer at community and church dinners, outreach programs and each year volunteers time to go on a mission trip with Wesley United Methodist Church.

GCS receives state auditor award

COLUMBUS – A recent financial audit of the Greenville City School District by Auditor of State Dave Yost’s office has returned a clean audit report. The school district’s excellent record keeping has qualified it for the Auditor of State Award with Distinction.

“We’ve had a qualifying audit for every year since 2001,” said school treasurer Carla Surber. “We’ve got a lot of good people who follow the rules.”

During their Thursday, Jan. 12 board of education meeting, board member Fred Matix and board president Jim Sommer praised Surber and other school administrators for the accomplishment announced by Yost’s office.

“Every year for 16 years,” Matix said about the district’s clean audits.

Surber again praised her staff.

“We’ve been very fortunate. It’s a tribute to the people who work here,” she said.

In a press release from the state auditor’s office, Yost said: “While a school district’s primary concern is its students, it must also remain accountable to taxpayers.

Accurate record keeping is clearly a priority for the Greenville City School District, and I am proud to present this award to the district.”

The Auditor of State Award with Distinction is presented to local govern-

GREENVILLE – A local man was placed on probation after serving 166 days in jail for setting several fires in the Greenville area in July.

Tyelor Jamal HenryDever, 21, of Greenville appeared for sentencing Monday afternoon in the Darke County Common Pleas Court. After being indicted on several felonies, he previously entered a guilty plea to a sole count of Arson, a felony of the fourth degree.

Henry-Dever was charged after an incident on July 27, 2016 in which he is said to have be responsible to setting several fires in and around Greenville. The fires included fire damage to a porch at two mobile homes at the Sherwood Forest trailer park. He is said to also be responsible for fire damage to a vehicle at a home on Fort Jefferson Ave.

Randolph County school administrators and is presented to the most deserving nominee.

God carries onto the basketball court. She initiated and leads a prayer circle following each of the Lady Indians’ games in which their opponents are always invited to join – and usually always do.

“My pastor challenged me to start the prayer circles. Many times I was hesitant, but the unity of the teams coming together has been worth it,” Kerns said.

“I want to thank the Gary Horner family for supporting the community and athletes,” Kora concluded.

Gary Horner was a long-time head coach for the Winchester girls basketball program that made a positive impact on everyone around him. Each year the award is voted on by

Theft in Office, a felony of the fourth degree. Normally a felony of the fifth degree, the charge is more severe due to the total amount being more than $7,500.

She was granted an own recognizance bond (OR) and is expected to appear for a pre-trial hearing on Feb. 6 at 10:45 a.m.

If convicted as charged, Lacey faces up to 18 months in prison and a $5,000 – in addition to any restitution ordered by the judge.

The case is being handled by Darke County Prosecuting Attorney Kelly Ormsby for the state and David A. Rohrer will represent Lacey for the defense.

GREENVILLE – After working with the Village of New Madison for five years, Wanda L. Lacey has been indicted by a grand jury for allegedly stealing thousands of dollars from the Darke County community.

Lacey, age 41, reportedly held several titles while working with the village from 2010 to 2015. According to the indictment, she is accused of taking over $21,500 during that time.

On Monday, Lacey appeared in the Darke County Common Pleas Court to be arraigned on one count of

Lacey accused of stealing thousands

Both parties agreed that there may be a mental health issue that will need to be dealt with for the defendant.

“Do you know why you did what you did,” asked Judge Jonathan P. Hein at Monday’s sentencing.

“It is easy to do the right thing while you are in jail.

I think you are smart, but you need to learn to control your emotions.”

Henry-Dever told the court he has plans of returning to college and does not object to a mental health evaluation and possible treatment.

After already serving 166 days in jail, Judge Hein ordered he be placed on intensive supervised probation (ISP) for up to 60 months. Henry-Dever is also required to complete 75 hours of community service and comply with arson registration requirements. If he fails to comply, he could face 14 months in prison.

Naturally Fit with Darke County Parks GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Darke County Parks is hosting a series of ďŹ tness programs called Naturally Fit occurring the third Monday of every month. Everyone wants to lead healthier lives and spend more time outdoors.

However, workout machines arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always environmentally friendly, gyms arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very exciting, and the cold winter weather makes it even less appealing. Besides, sometimes life just gets in the way. Use these programs as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;excuseâ&#x20AC;? to schedule time outside and get moving. Each of these programs focuses more on ďŹ tness than nature, with everyone moving at their

own pace, whether thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one loop or ten. The January program will take place Jan. 16 at 4 p.m. at Tecumseh Point in Greenville.

This short loop near scenic Greenville Creek will make those last 1,000 steps of the day easy to ďŹ nish. The park is located on the south west side of the Greenville Creek Bridge on north Broadway in Greenville. Meet there, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to bring a water bottle. The brisk winter air will do your lungs (and the rest of your body) some good.

For questions or weather updates, call the Nature Center at 548-0165.

CT students earn ďŹ fth place in real-world challenge

BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Three senior computer technology students in Nathan Sharpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class at Greenville Career Tech Center have earned ďŹ fth place in the Deloitte Virtual Team Challenge.

The challenge â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a free, real-time, 3D, multi-user online business simulation centered on a real-life problem â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this time an oil spill - offers teams of up to four students a chance to use a variety of skills to problem solve.

Students in 23 countries participated in the fall 2016 challenge, Sharp said.

The three Greenville

teammates who came just points away from being in the Top 3 are Ryver Lewis, James Graves and CeeJay Miltenberger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learned good ways to conduct business and how to collaborate with my peers,â&#x20AC;? Miltenberger said of his experience playing the game, which takes about three weeks to complete.

The challenge, hosted

by Deloitte Management Consulting takes place twice during the school year. The program offers students an opportunity to learn real-life work skills. Each team player is assigned a â&#x20AC;&#x153;roleâ&#x20AC;? with speciďŹ c job duties to perform in order to help solve the problem at hand.

Each role is central to the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success and can either contribute or detract from the team score.

The four roles include: Fast Tracker: Responsible for Support Services including decisions about hiring emergency services and logistics vendors to make sure the cleanup runs smoothly.

Smooth Operator: Responsible for Media and Volunteer Management including decisions about hiring a public relations ďŹ rm and a spokesperson for the cleanup so that support-donations from the public adequately fund the cleanup.

Senior students in Greenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Computer Technology class recently completed an on-line real-time challenge, sponsored by Deloitte Management Consulting. One team of three students earned ďŹ fth place.

Grime Stopper: Responsible for the physical aspects of the environmental cleanup including hiring oil spill containment, recovery and disposal vendors. If the cleanup is environmentally effective, New City will be saved and the team will receive the most support-donations from the public.

Green Machine: Responsible for crisis administration including hiring vendors to write the disaster assessment document and handle legal and compliance issues.

The top three placing teams actually earn money, Sharp said, for themselves, as well as their school. Also, a donation is made to their local United

Way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty awesome that they placedâ&#x20AC;? ďŹ fth, said Sharp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were shocked when they learned they were just short of the Top 3 and said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;we should have done this, should have done that.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

All nine seniors in Sharpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class participated by working in teams of three. The other two teams included Trevor Brumbaugh, Jarret Watson and Dylan Hosbrook, who placed 26th and Braxton Sandlin, Tyler Carter and Liam Williams-Henninger, who placed 127th.

There were 306 teams from around the United States participating in the SPILL challenge.

Fish Choice Pantry gives tax ďŹ ling help GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Fish Choice Pantry is one of 43 organizations across Ohio that will receive funding to support the expansion of their free tax ďŹ ling services through The Ohio BeneďŹ t Bankâ&#x201E;˘. The Ohio BeneďŹ t Bank (OBBâ&#x201E;˘) is a program of the Ohio Association of Foodbanks that provides free help with federal, state and school district tax ďŹ ling to nearly 30,000 Ohio households each year.

Fish Choice Pantry will be providing free tax completion services to the Darke County community by appointment, by providing weekday, evening and Saturday appointments.

The OBB is made up of a network of more than 1,000 community and faith-based organizations that connect Ohioans with more than 20 work support programs and tax credits, including the Earned Income Tax Credit and child tax credits, through one streamlined online service called The BeneďŹ t BankÂŽ.

Ohioans can visit sites like [name of organization] to ďŹ le their taxes for free with a trained counselor, or they can ďŹ le on their own at www.ohiobeneďŹ ts.org.

Most households using the married ďŹ ling jointly sta-

tus with incomes less than $95,000 and most households using other ďŹ ling statuses with incomes less than $65,000 are eligible to ďŹ le their federal, state and school district taxes for free with the OBB. In 2016, The Fish Choice Pantry served 342 residents of Darke and surrounding Counties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, we hope to serve even more residents and help them keep the full tax refunds theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve earned,â&#x20AC;?

said Fish Director Kristy Cutarelli.

Residents interested in making an appointment to have their taxes ďŹ led through the OBB can call 937-547-9730. Appointments are available weekdays, evenings, or at one of their Saturday tax clinics.

Community members interested in volunteering as OBB counselors are welcome to call Kristy or Laura at 937-547-9730 for more information.

There are two lines of thought this time of year: 1> Make resolutions because January and 2> Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make resolutions because goals are good any time of the year. As for me, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it matters. What really matters is that you find some great reasons to make positive changes.

This monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s article focuses on some new reasons to work on improving your health, as well as confirmation of what the fitness industry already knew.

Improve bone density in women: We know that muscle mass decreases with age, so when we approach our senior years, unless we are exercising to counter this, strength is reduced, which can contribute to balance issues, posture problems, as well as a decreased

When you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t separate them (for instance, lifting session in the morning and swimming in the evening),

do a lifting session before your aerobic exercise in order to have more strength for your lifting session. If you are working on getting stronger, for example, this would work well. Of course, if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that and need to fit it in where you can, getting it done in any order is better than none at all. In addition, if you are training for a running race, be sure to prioritize that activity.

Ideally, lifting (resistance training), aerobic (cardiovascular), and flexibility training would be part of everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exercise routine weekly.

Meditate - There are too many studies to reference on this, but basically, meditation done consistently can improve your psychological well-being. If you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already doing it, consider making some time for this in your week.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to add in resistance training â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Occasionally, I will get asked if someone should lose weight by dieting before starting resistance training (weight training, for instance). Just to confirm this, muscle strength and muscle mass diminishes if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work the muscles. You can diet down to get to a certain weight, but studies show you

will likely lose muscle along the way. This can present all kinds of additional health problems.

Add in those resistance training sessions from the beginning to help you maintain muscle mass.

The Greenville Elementary hosted a tour of its new building Tuesday, Jan. 10. (Susan Hartley photo)

New Madison’s Kennedy Vineyards will soon be adding craft beers under the name Big Rack Brewery.

Craft beer coming to Darke County SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

NEW MADISON – John and Louisa Kennedy are expanding their business to bring Darke County its first brewery.

Kennedy Vineyards, located at 3911 State Route 722, New Madison, will be introducing four craft beers to their already popular wine list “Big Rack Brewery will be doing business under Kennedy Vineyards,” said Louisa. “We’ll offer four craft beers. Oatmeal stout will be our staple beer.

We’ll have one seasonal beer and the other two will fluctuate.”

The dark oatmeal stout has proved to be popular with Moeller Brewery in Maria Stein, Louisa said, explaining its brewer will be assisting her husband with the process of making the selection for Big Rack Brewery.

The Big Rack Brewery name has already been approved by the state, Louisa said. “We’re waiting on our beer license.”

Some brewing equipment has already come in, Louisa said. “We’ll do everything at the winery, brew and serve the beers there.”

The Kennedy’s plan to purchase their beer-making supplies from local

Ohio growers. They won’t be growing their own hops for now, for example, but do plan on expanding their vineyard.

“Our main focus for the property is the vineyard,” Louisa said. “We plan to plant a couple more acres of vines.”

The idea to add craft beers to their menu came about, Louise explained, when asked by customers and those attending events at the winery asked if they served beer.

“Wineries in Ohio are growing, and brew pubs are really growing. We’ve had weddings at the winery and have had people asking for beer. This spurred us to include beer. We’ll be the first brewery in Darke County. We want to meet the needs of our customers.”

Although wines take up to six months to process from beginning to end, it only takes about 30 days to brew a beer, Louisa said.

If all goes well, customers will be able to taste a couple Big Rack beers during the winery’s June 3 Wine and Swine Hog Roast. Tickets for the event are $25 and include dinner and a bottle of wine. The Kennedy’s are working with Food Adventures of Dayton to provide dinner items.

Students get sneak peek at new school SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – There were plenty of “oohs” and “ahs” as students and their families toured Greenville’s brand new K-8th grade building earlier this week.

“I think it looks like a maze,” said seventh-grade cheerleader Rileigh Swisshelm, who also was impressed – as were many others – with the school’s new gyms.

Kaijsa Maxwell, a seventh-grade basketball player, agreed saying she was impressed by “how big the gym was.”

Mom Jill Swhisshelm is excited about sending her children to their new school. Swisshelm open enrolls four children to Greenville from Bradford.

“I think it’s amazing,” she said Monday during the 5-8th grade open house.

“It’s good for the community. And I like it that they (four children) are all in the same building.”

Over in Tiffany Oswalt’s Life Skills classroom, several fifth and sixth grade students and their parents were eager to see each other, as well as all the brand new appliances, including a washer and dryer and complete kitchen that will benefit the multiple disabled students.

“We’re very excited about our new building,”

Oswalt said.

Life Skills classrooms with their own bathroom facilities also are located on the elementary side of the new school.

Teacher Jaime Stocksdale was eager to start using all the new appliances to teach her eight MD students in grades K-2, explaining how she was using a simple convection oven to teach baking skills at Woodland.

Her students also take a swim class each week and will now be able to learn laundry skills by washing their swimwear in their new washer and dryer.

“This facility gives us the opportunity to capitalize on teaching these important life skills,” she said.

Eighth-grader Harley West – an aspiring surgeon – was looking up where all her classrooms were located with her grandmother, Annie Murphy.

“It’s a lot better than the other schools and I’m looking forward to coming here,” West said. “There’s more space in the hallways and the gym is bigger than the old junior high.”

Murphy said she thinks Greenville’s new school “is awesome. It’s so fresh and new. I think it’s going to be good for the students. It’s a new start and new beginning for the kids.”

Art teacher Nicole Hawk was greeting students in one of the school’s up-todate art rooms.

“I think it’s very exciting,” she said of the move from the older school buildings. “Students should be proud of their environment and do their best.”

In the hall outside the art rooms, magnetic walls will offer spaces for student art work to be featured, Hawk said, noting that teachers were already planning ways to keep it “nice and full” and will rotate the artwork on a regular basis.

Paraprofessional Kathy Brinkman, who assists students with math and language arts as well as special needs, said she “liked the pod idea. Kids will get to stay in the same area” for learning.

Elementary students and families were invited to tour during an open house on Tuesday.

Kindergarten teacher Mary Mclear said she’d “seen some very big smiles” on her students’ faces Tuesday when they came to check out their new digs.

“We talked about the move,” Mclear said, before the long Christmas break.

“They wanted to be sure we were going to take their classroom supplies with us.

One student even asked if we were going to take Mrs. (Jody) Harter (principal).”

The kindergarten rooms are all in one hallway, each sporting its own bathroom and drinking fountain.

Teachers also will be wearing voice enhancement devices, explained kinder-

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY, Ind. – When recently assigned a ’20-percent project’ by his science teacher Mr. Lehman, Union City 8th grader Hunter Reagan wanted to make it special.

Reagan, a baseball allstar himself, wanted to do something to honor the memory of a fallen friend – Dylan Williams – who tragically lost his life after being struck by a ball during all-star practice in July 2013.

“Dylan’s death was a very emotional moment for me,” Hunter said. “He was a friend of mine and we both loved baseball.”

Hunter came up with an idea to create a peel-andstick decal that honors the memory of his friend Dylan that he can sell and raise money for his memorial foundation.

With the help of his parents, Hunter contacted Wintrow Signs in Greenville to get the project started. Joe and Laura Wintrow

not only were eager to help out, but Laura let Hunter come in and she helped him develop and print out the decals right there in their shop. When it was all said and done, Hunter left with many decals ready to sell in which Wintrow Signs donated not only time, but all the material included.

Reagan of course hopes for an ‘A’ on the project, but more importantly he is raising money to benefit a life-saving organization. The Dylan Williams Forever an All-Star Foundation uses donations to purchase and donate AED devices to area schools and youth and high school sports venues in case of an emergency – like one that took Dylan at such a young age.

“An AED is important so there are less accidents like what happened to my friend Dylan,” noted Hunter.

Hunter is selling the decals for $8 each…until they are gone. Anyone that would like to purchase one or more can contact Scott and Rhonda Reagan

garten teacher Megan Delk, which will help all students hear what’s being said, no matter where they are in the classroom.

Kindergartner Sage Jones said she liked her new school because “there’s a bathroom in my room.”

And Bella Enicks, a firstgrader, was very happy with the new school’s media center. “I like learning new things,” she said, noting that her favorite part of the school day was the library.

A popular stop for elementary students and their families touring the building on Tuesday were the extended learning areas, which feature colorful tables and seating options.

These areas, Superintendent Doug Fries said, will be helpful when teachers want to team teach or have an activity for a grade level.

Classroom walls open up to the extended learning area to offer that option.

Fries again wanted to thank the community for the opportunity to build the K-8 building.

“The community can be pleased with what they’ve provided us,” he said. “We really appreciate the turnout” at the two tour dates.

“Every remark has been positive.”

School began Thursday, Jan. 12 for Greenville students. The community is invited to attend an open house and dedication ceremony at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 26.

Darke County Center for the Arts Family Theatre Series will present Laura Ingalls Wilder on Jan. 29.

Laura Ingalls Wilder musical GREENVILLE – Darke County Center for the Arts Family Theatre Series will present Laura Ingalls Wilder on Jan. 29 at 2 p.m. at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall, Greenville. One of the most beloved of ArtsPower National Touring Theatre’s productions, the show chronicles the exciting adventures of the Ingalls family as they travel across the prairie. “Each character in the show in their own way embodies the pioneering sense of adventure that helped make our country great,” said DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins.

“The plot is based on Laura’s childhood experiences, but the unique story-line explores the relationships between family members while at the same time bringing life on the prairie alive on the stage,” Mr. Rawlins stated.

As those who are familiar with the books chronicling her life already know, Laura Ingalls Wilder and her family faced many challenges as they traveled across this nation’s unsettled frontier of the late 1800’s and labored to establish their home.

According to Rawlins, this show features a lush musical score that captures the restlessness and excitement of those pioneer times.

“ArtsPower National Touring Theatre is committed to enriching the lives of families through the performing arts; Laura Ingalls Wilder

provides a fine example of that commitment,” Mr. Rawlins concluded.

DCCA’s Family Theatre Series is sponsored by Dayton Power & Light Company Foundation, Second National Bank, Greenville Federal, Greyson James Steyer Fund of the Darke County Foundation, Edison State Community College, Gordon Orthodontics, Jordan Insurance Agency, The Andersons Inc., Wayne Healthcare, and Greenville Rotary Club. The series also receives support from DCCA memberships and the Jean Louise Thieme Fund of the Darke County Foundation.

The Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial Fund, Ketrow Foundation, and Lydia Schaurer Memorial also provide operating support for DCCA. Additionally, the Ohio Arts Council helped fund this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans.

Tickets for Laura Ingalls Wilder are $5, and can be reserved by contacting DCCA at 937-547-0908 or dcca@centerforarts.net or purchased on-line at www. centerforarts.net. Tickets are also available at the Greenville Public Library and Readmore’s Hallmark in Greenville, as well as at Worch Memorial Public Library in Versailles.

Gabbard gives program on Perfect Flowers

GREENVILLE – Join the Greenville Public Library on Jan. 21, 1 p.m., for a beautiful program “Perfect Flowers for Your Unforgettable Wedding” by Katie Gabbard from The Ivy League.

“Whether your idea of a perfect wedding is a festive evening gala or a rustic woodland shindig, fresh flowers and embellishments are the way to express your personal style and create an event that’s completely unforgettable,” says Gabbard.

Gabbard will show you how thoughtful details, creative combinations, and thrifty secrets can give you the wedding you’ve always dreamed of.

This is a free tick-

eted event limited to 25 seats. Pick up your ticket at the Reference Desk on the second floor of the Library. Refreshments will be served.

Gabbard had her shop in downtown Greenville since 2007. She says she first studied fine art before finding her entrepreneurial spirit and love for botanical art. “I think that my earlier focus on art has really affected the style and design of my work.” She travels extensively for her wedding work and has helped brides in Cincinnati, Kentucky, Columbus, Dayton, and everywhere in between.

Nominate a business for BBB Eclipse Award

LEGAL NOTICE

DAYTON – Start the New Year by giving a shout-out to businesses and nonprofits that have made you a raving fan. Think about the companies you recommend to friends and family because of the great customer experiences you’ve had. Consider the nonprofits that you donate your time, talent and treasure to. These organizations deserve to be recognized for their efforts and nominated for a Better Business Bureau Eclipse Integrity Award. You could even nominate your own business or nonprofit.

The public is invited to nominate organizations by visiting www.bbbeclipse.org or calling (937) 610-2270.

The deadline to nominate an organization other than your own is Feb. 1.

The deadline for self-nominations is March 1. (If you’re self-nominating, review the nominating procedures on your BBB’s website, www. bbbeclipse.org, or contact your BBB for the complete nomination form.)

Organizations can even submit completed entries on March 1 online. It’s important to note the nomination process has evolved and there are some new requirements this year.

Eclipse Integrity Awards will be presented to organizations for demonstrating trust and excellence in the marketplace. There are four award categories for businesses based on the number of employ-

ees. Your BBB also has two award categories for nonprofits, which are also based on the number of employees.

The winners will be selected by an independent panel of judges and honored at the Eclipse Integrity Awards dinner on May 9 at the David H. Ponitz Sinclair Center, 444 W. Third St., Bldg.

12, Dayton.

Nominated and self-nominated businesses and nonprofits are invited to join BBB as it hosts several free seminars to help organizations get a head start on putting together a winning entry. At each seminar, the process of putting together a winning binder will be discussed in detail.

Attendees will have the opportunity to review past winners’ entries. And, representatives from last year’s winners will be on hand to share how they tackled putting together their entries.

They’ll also get a sponsor’s perspective on the awards. Two seminars are scheduled for 2017: January 17 and February 7.

Both will be held at the BARRYSTAFF Community Room, 230 Webster St., Dayton, from 8 – 9:30 a.m. Reservations can be made by calling (937) 610-2270.

The Eclipse Integrity Awards are sponsored by many local organizations, including The Dayton Power and Light Company; WesBanco Bank, Inc.; Back to Business IT; WDTN-TV; Cox Ohio Media Group and iHeart Radio.

Masons to observe 300th anniversary

Ohio Farmers Union’s president’s priorities GREENVILLE – Joe Logan, the president of the Ohio Farmers Union, was the featured speaker at the Darke County Farmers Union annual meeting held in Greenville. He spoke to the crowd on four major policy issues the organization was currently involved.

“May you live in interesting times,” he began; noting this was not only a Chinese greeting, but he has learned it is also a curse.

He informed those present that many of our domestic companies have been bought out by international producers and acknowledged the biggest pork and beef producers are foreign and not domestic producers. With so many corporate consolidations, such as the September 2013 acquisition of Smithfield Foods by the Chinese company, Shuanghui International Holdings, we need to have some oversight on the quality and control of our food sources. JBS SA, a Brazilian meat

In addition, large Masonic dinner celebrations are planned for June 24 across Ohio to culminate the 300th-year observances. Throughout the year, local lodges also will have their own anniversary dinners, open houses, educational meetings, and newmember gatherings.

“2017 is going to be a great year.”

Ohio Grand Master Douglas N. Kaylor, of Dayton, said. “The world is changing and once again men are looking for the benefits that come from uniting with like-minded men dedicated to living well, to doing right, and to standing up for their beliefs when others seem to be stumbling.”

GETTYSBURG – The Masonic Fraternity this year observes the 300th anniversary of modern Freemasonry and the more than 80,000 Masonic members in 480 Masonic lodges in Ohio are making plans for the celebration.

“On June 24, 1717, in London, England, four lodges decided to create the Grand Lodge of England.”

Bradley Horsley, Master of Gettysburg Lodge #477 in Gettysburg, explained, “And this structure of organization has continued for three centuries and has spread around the world.”

“Masonic lodges existed before that time,” he said, “But the 1717 date represents the basic, creative step in the overall continuity and agreement of principles that still govern the international fraternity we have today.”

The Grand Lodge of Ohio was formed in 1808, and observed its 200th anniversary a few years ago. In the United States, there are 51 Grand Lodges – one for each state, plus the District of Columbia. Total U.S. membership numbers nearly 1.2 million.

The Ohio observance begins on March 25, with a “Grand Master’s Class,” which will allow new members to complete all initiation work in one day.

Normally, weeks or months are required for the process. On that Saturday, initiation ceremonies will be held simultaneously in 25 locations across Ohio, including at Temperance Lodge #73 in Sidney Ohio, which will be the designated location for the Third Masonic District which includes Darke, Miami, and Shelby counties.

packaging company whose interests are represented in the United States by JBA USA in Greeley, Colo., is the largest beef packer in the world.

Because our food supply is part of a global market, Farmers Union has fought hard for Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) legislation.

We won the battle and the requirement to list the country of origin of fresh beef, pork and lamb was signed into law as part of the Farm Security Act of 2002.

The law was expanded to include fresh fruits and vegetables in 2008 and then repealed in December 2015 due to the WTO’s ruling that claimed that the requirements set forth in the legislation discriminated against Canadian and Mexican livestock. The World Trade Organization also imposed a $781 million (to Canada) and $228 million (to Mexico) in retaliatory tariffs against U.S. imports and Mexico happened to be represented on

the committee deliberating the case.

Corporate consolidation has created giant companies from the numerous mergers that have taken place over the last several years.

Farmers Union is lobbying legislators to do what they can to support efforts by some members of Congress to hold hearings to examine the effects and the legalities of further mergers in the agricultural industry.

There is a $500 billion trade deficit and Logan posed some caveats on the policy of imposing a 35 percent tariff on China, saying the Chinese government (along with others, such as Japan, Brazil, etc.) are known for their habit of currency manipulation. The Trans Pacific Partnership Act, the trade agreement maligned during the past election, is not as detrimental to the aspect of our trade deficit as the manipulation of currency has become. Logan explained he believes that a tool promot-

ed by the IMF, in an effort to seek balanced trade among nations, which monitors currency values and they can adjust for unfair advantage is a valueadded tax (VAT).

He said he’d rather see our government imposing a valueadded tax on these products coming in.

Secondly, the Farmers Union is concerned with adequate farm and food support. Logan thinks an integrated supply management strategy would be advised.

Considering the volatility of the global supply market and the unpredictable weather patterns of late, a farmer-owner reserve program might be used to stabilize our markets. Trump has no policy yet involv-

ing a safety net for farmers and the Secretary of Agriculture hasn’t been chosen as of yet.

Thirdly, as discussed earlier, Farmers Union is concerned about the growing corporate consolidation in agriculture and is informing legislators on the issue and asking for more vigilance concerning the effect on markets and forethought in relation to the legal consequences of such consolidation.

Lastly, the Farmers Union would like to stress the importance of keeping the Renewable Fuel Standard in relation to sustainability in our environment and its positive economic gains for farmers, especially in the production of ethanol from corn.

A representative from Family Health said, “We are very excited to welcome Dr. King to our practice. She will see patients of all ages, but has a passion and strong focus on vision care for children with special emphasis on pediatric and binocular vision.”

Dr. King received her Doctorate of Optometry from The Ohio State University and is a member of the Ohio and American Optometric Associations,

ENGINE PARTS

as well as the Optometric Extension Program Foundation.

Dr. Kings offers an InfantSEE assessment for infants between the ages six-months to 12-months that is 100 percent free.

The assessment offers early detection of potential eye and vision problems and is a compliment to the eye screening conducted during a pediatric well-child visit. To learn more about this program, visit Infantsee.org. Early next fall, Dr. King plans to offer vision therapy services for patients ranging from school age through adulthood that are experiencing difficulty with eye strain, headaches, double vision, avoidance of near work, poor sports performance, dizziness or motion sickness and difficulty reading and concentrating.

School age patients that would benefit from vision therapy services may be experiencing the following problems that can impact their ability to read: skipping or re-reading lines, poor reading compre-

hension, extended time to complete homework, reversing letters like “b” and “d” and a short attention span with reading and schoolwork.

Family Health Eye Care opened its doors to patients in March 2016 and is a natural extension of Family Health’s mission and commitment to provide for the healthcare needs of the underserved in the county regardless of their faith, race, age or ability to pay. They accept Medicaid, patient pay, the Prevent Ohio Blind-

ness Program to patients below 200 percent of the poverty level, sliding fee discounts and bill private insurance companies as needed. They also provide a 15 percent discount to patients if they pay in full at the time of service.

Family Health is a model for health centers across the country in managing chronic disease, promoting wellness, demonstrating cost effectiveness and empowering patients to engage in healthy behaviors.

Their mission statement is “building healthy lives together…” They support this mission by providing an array of services: medical care, behavioral health, laboratory, radiology, pharmacy services, dental services and patient education and support, but despite all these services, Family Health identified a huge need for vision services.

Family Health Eye Care is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays 8 a.m. to noon. For an appointment, call 548-6111.
