THE EARLY BIRD NEWSPAPER

WEEKEND EDITION - APRIL 22, 2018

THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF THE GREAT DARKE COUNTY FAIR!

Kennedy, Winteregg drop DC League of Women Voters Forum RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – After J.D. Winteregg announced last week that he would not be attending the Darke County League of Women Voters (LWV) Candidates Forum on April 23, Darke County Commission candidate John Kennedy has followed suit and has withdrawn from the forum.

Winteregg called the LWV “too left-wing” to sponsor a Republican Primary debate and called on other candidates to withdraw from the forum.

In a press release, Winteregg said, “The League endorses unrestricted abortion, funded by taxpayers, for any reason at all up to and including the moment of birth. They endorse illegal alien amnesty, increased welfare payments, Common Core, ObamaCare and Medicaid Expansion, new

and extreme anti-business environmental regulations and wide-ranging gun control laws that would essentially eliminate our Second Amendment rights.”

Kennedy made the announcement on his Facebook page, John Kennedy for Darke County Commission and said, “After careful consideration I have decided not to participate in the Candidate Night associated with the League of Women Voters. I feel their political views and beliefs are not in line with my own political beliefs. I take a stand on certain issues and feel it is not in my best interest to associate with and support groups that do not share in these beliefs.” He clarified in a response some of the issues where he and the LWV do not agree are “on abortion, gun control, etc.”

Holly Finnarn and Eileen Litchfield, organizers of the Candidates Forum, responded to the accu-

Lt. Governor candidate tours Darke County SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Ohio’s Democratic candidate for Lt. Governor Tara Samples spent Thursday morning touring several sites around Darke County.

Running mate to gubanatorial candidate Dennis Kucinich, Samples is currently a city councilwoman in Akron and previously worked as a court bailiff for eight years.

With the slogan #restoring the power back to the people, Samples said Thursday she and Kucinich had been touring the state the past few months.

“It’s important we visit every community in the state to talk and find out what their wants and needs are,” she said, while touring KitchenAid Experience.

Kucinich and Samples’ platform for Ohio include “jobs, healthcare and the opioid crisis” along with the state’s education is-

sues, Samples said.

“We want to be sure no community is left behind” when presenting changes that will affect Ohioans.

Samples also was scheduled to visit The Coffee Pot in downtown Greenville, where she picked up a cup of coffee, the Annie Oakley Park, Anthony Wayne School and Bear’s Mill before heading to Celina.

The candidate also stopped by to visit the Darke County Courthouse and speak with engineer Jim Surber and treasurer Scott Zumbrink while in downtown Greenville.

Local Democrat Central Committee members Rita Robinette and Steve Shaw, along with Karyl Parks were tour guides for Samples’ visit to Darke County.

More about Kucinich and Samples’, who were recently endorsed by The Cleveland Plain Dealer, may be found at https:// kucinich.com/ The pair will appear on the May 8 ballot.

sations, “The League of Women Voters has always conducted their voter service activities in a non-partisan way. It is the League’s policy to never support or oppose a candidate. Locally, we have had candidate nights for about 30 years.”

The organizers continued, “The League only takes action on issues that they have studied and have consensus on among members, Democrats, Republicans, etc.”

With Kennedy’s withdrawal from the event, LWV has been forced to modify its upcoming event.

“Because of the League’s unbiased treatment of candidates and IRS rules, we will no longer be featuring the Republican Primary race for Darke County Commissioner at our forum since there are just two candidates and one of them, John Kennedy, sent notice that he was withdrawing from the event last

night,” they said. “Per the rules sent to all candidates, Mike Stegall, the other candidate, will still have the opportunity for up to two minutes for an introduction as a contested Primary candidate but will not be allowed to be on stage to answer questions.”

The Darke County LWV clarified that Winteregg never accepted the League’s invitation in mid-March when all of the other candidates from the 80th and

84th House District did accept.

“We look forward to having the 84th candidates (Travis Faber, Susan Manchester, Aaron Heilers) and the other 80th Candidates (George Lovett, John O’Brien, Jena Powell),” said Litchfield and Finnarn.

The forum will take place on Monday, April 23, 7 p.m., at the American Legion Hall on Ohio St., Greenville and is open to the public.

Light Foundation shares success story RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – “I don’t think Matt’s ever done,” said Light Foundation’s Brian Rehmert. “It’s just like this building. This building broke ground two years ago in October and we just finished it this spring.” Rehmert was speaking of the new building at Chenoweth Trails during an Open House on Wednesday to share with local businesses leaders what the Light Foundation is doing in Darke County and across the country, as well as to inform them of the business opportunities that are available locally.

Some local people may know that Greenville High School graduate, former New England Patriot and Super Bowl winner Matt Light has some property west of Greenville called Chenoweth Trails and others may have heard or participated in the Gauntlet that is held at the location, fewer realize what Light and his team are doing for children in the Greenville area, New England and across the country.

From Camp Vohakase to the LIGHT (Literacy, Inquiry, Getting outside and having fun and Time spent with family) Project, Light and his team are dedicated to changing the lives of young people.

When starting the Light Foundation, Light said he questioned, “How can I take the platform that has been given to me, so to speak, and how can we turn into something that has a bigger mission than just the game of football.”

The foundation was born in 2002 from that question.

At first, the organization’s goal was to support non-profits like the Greenville Boys & Girls Club.

Over the past 16-years, the Light Foundation has morphed into providing and developing their own programs. Although they still support other organizations, Light said, “We wanted to make a more direct impact.”

“Camp Vohakase is the thing I’m most proud of because it’s the thing we’ve been doing the longest.

It’s something that has really had an impact on the lives of people. It’s not the biggest thing in terms of

Matt Light speaks to a group of business and local leaders during an open house at Chenoweth Trails.

kids that we serve, but it is the thing that is the most intense.”

His newest program is the LIGHT Project, which focuses on young kids and getting them outdoors.

The program is reading and science based. “It’s a lot of fun. It’s really cool to see it in action,” said Light.

Light said they had a unique approach to how they built the facility and did not take dollars raised from fundraising to apply to building the facility.

“It’s almost the exact opposite of what we do,” he said. “We have a track record of about 76-cents of every dollar that goes into

programming. And that’s really hard to do.”

He encouraged local businesses to partner with the Light Foundation and pointed out Chenoweth Trails has several areas where naming rights are available. “If your corporation is looking for a long-term partnership, we want to be part of that conversation.”

For more information how you can volunteer or support the Light Foundation, Chenoweth Trails or any of their programs, visit MattLight72.com, call (937) 316-6352 or email programcoordinator@ mattlight72.com.

Citizen asks council to clean up properties RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – For a second consecutive meeting, Greenville resident Thomas L. Kesselring addressed Greenville City Council on Tuesday asking that something be done with the former Speedway/ Bonded properties on North Broadway and at Ohio and Martin Streets and also the property owned by “the woodman” on West Main Street.

Kesselring said, “I have never seen the stuff that is going on with those gas stations down there and the gas station over on Martin and the pile of crap sitting in front of the house on West Main Street.” He emphatically stated, “I wouldn’t stand it if it was by my house.” He believes a

lot of people feel the same way he does.

Mayor Steve Willman agreed. “They’re bad,” he said. “It’s hard to do anything else in town when you have places like that, that are falling down, look terrible and are not in compliance with our ordinances.”

The mayor explained the Community Improvement Corporation is working to have something done with those properties and has contacted Speedway numerous times.

He continued, “I think the same thing may go with Mr. (Greg) Metzgar’s property down here with the wood. Maybe we could stop by and say something to him one last time. Ask him if he could do something different. Maybe bring some of his wood into compliance.

It’s not quite right now. He leaves his cars parked on

the street for days at a time, which is kind of illegal. A lot of people do. How do you get anybody to do anything if there’s a person that continues to get away with it.”

He asked for support from the public and council to get something done.

Councilman Jeff Whitaker said, “My main concern is what right does someone have to allow their property to get to a point where it affects real estate values; because it does.” He questioned how that can be permitted when others that want to build a carport or do something to improve their property have to go through the “third-degree” to get a permit.

Councilman Doug Wright added, “I have to agree with Jeff. We talk about a few things at this table, but then, very seldom are things done; especially

about eyesores.”

In other business, Council learned a tree lottery will be revamped and reinstituted this year.

Safety Service Director Curt Garrison explained the city will soon welcome applicants for the trees. Winners of the lottery will get to pick the type of tree, the city would purchase the tree during Brown’s Nursery’s Labor Day Sale, and city crews would install the tree in the city’s right-of-way. In past years, the homeowner would be required to pay costs upfront and be reimbursed later by the city.

Legislation to make changes in the ordinance will be prepared for council’s approval at future meeting.

The next regular meeting of Greenville City Council will be May 1, 7:30 p.m., Council Chambers, Municipal Building.

Two other ofďŹ cers arrived on scene to assist. Kopilec was asked to exit the vehicle to be searched and an ofďŹ cer retrieved a clear plastic bag of green leafy vegetation from his front waistband area. When asked, Kopilec stated the bag contained marijuana.

The vehicle was searched and no other illegal items were found. Kopilec was issued a citation for drug possession and both subjects were released from the scene. The marijuana was transported to GPD and placed into property as evidence.

On April 11 an ofďŹ cer at the Greenville K-8 building was contacted by a parent who reported she found marijuana inside her child’s backpack at home. A discussion was held with the student about what was found and where he got it from. He admitted to purchasing it from a person, known as “Willie.â€?

The student said he met Willie a few weeks ago near the Boys & Girls club and purchased “weedâ€? for $10. The mother’s boyfriend met the ofďŹ cer at the residence where the marijuana was located inside a backpack. Loose marijuana and marijuana in a small clear plastic bag was found inside another container. Also inside the backpack were several tobacco vaping materials.

The mother said none of the items belong in her residence and wanted them gone. All listed items were taken as property. The student admitted he had been in possession of the marijuana but had not smoked any of it. He said he did plan to consume it at a later time.

He also admitted to using the vape (tobacco) for approximately three weeks.

The student was issued a citation for possession of marijuana.

Overdose

On April 13 an ofďŹ cer

was dispatched to the 400 block of Wagner Avenue in reference to a suspicious person. Upon arrival the ofďŹ cer observed suspect Stacey Snyder standing next to the building, swaying from front to back and nodding off. The ofďŹ cer made contact with Snyder and asked if she was OK. She said she was waiting on a friend to pick her up. When asked if she had taken any medication, Snyder said she had used heroin on April 12.

Another ofďŹ cer arrived on the scene and Snyder said she wanted to be taken to the hospital. She then admitted to using heroin earlier that day. Snyder gave consent for ofďŹ cers to search her purse where ofďŹ cers located a syringe.

Snyder said it was the syringe she used to inject the heroin. Greenville Township Rescue arrived on scene and transported her to Wayne HealthCare for further evaluation. An ofďŹ cer followed the medic to the hospital and read Snyder the potential for immunity form. The syringe was transported to the police department where it was placed into property as evidence.

Shoplifting

On April 10 an ofďŹ cer was dispatched to Eikenberry’s IGA in reference to a theft that took place there a few days prior.

Upon arrival the ofďŹ cer spoke to the store manager who reported he was taking inventory and noticed two 16 oz. bottles of an alcoholic beverage were missing from a sixpack. The manager reviewed video footage and saw a juvenile stealing the alcohol. In the video the suspect is seen entering the store on April 7 with a young female and young male.

Motley to be sentenced in June for sex offense charges

BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Sentencing for Jacob Motley has been set for June before Judge Jonathan P. Hein in Darke County Common Pleas Court.

Motley, 18, is charged with one count of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, a fourth-degree felony and one count of the same as a first-degree misdemeanor. He appeared in court on Tuesday to enter a guilty plea on both counts.

The incidents occurred in September and October of last year. The victims

were 15 and 13 years of age at the time of the incidents, and according to Darke County Prosecutor Kelly Ormsby were “consensual as the term is understood” or Motley would have been charged with rape.

Motley faces a combined total of 24 months in prison and a total $6,000 fine.

He also must report as a Tier II sex offender every six months for 25 years.

Hein ordered a presentencing investigation and set Motley’s sentencing date for June 11.

Motley is being represented by attorney David Rohrer.

CELINA – Travis Faber, a Republican candidate for state representative in Ohio’s 84th House District, was attacked Tuesday evening by an activist from one of his opponent’s campaigns. The attack happened in the parking lot of Boardwalk Grill in Celina just off US127 and was captured on the city’s closed-circuit video cameras.

As shown in the video, the assailant, Frank Urwin of St. Henry, Ohio, charged Faber’s car and opened the car’s driver door while the vehicle was still in gear. He proceeded to pull the candidate out of the car and strike him repeatedly before fleeing the scene. The assailant was arrested by the Celina Police Department later

Charges amended in Dill Oil robbery

BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The attempted robbery charge for Anthony Felix of New York was amended Monday to the more serious charge of robbery.

Felix, 25, was charged April 11 for the alleged crime, which took place at Dill Oil, 401 Union St., Greenville, on April 9.

Felix appeared via video conference in front of Judge Jonathan P. Hein on Monday, April 15, to learn of the amended charge.

When asked if he understood what robbery was, Felix asked for an explanation.

Hein told Felix he had “threatened physical harm,” which required the more serious charge.

Felix faces eight years in prison and a $15,000

fine if found guilty.

His court-appointed attorney Nicole Pohlman entered a not guilty plea in her client’s behalf and asked Hein to considered lowering his bond, which was set April 11 at $75,000.

Hein continued the original bond, citing the defendant’s non-Darke County residential status as well as his “intellectual ability” to understand his alleged offense.

When conducting a search following the incident, Greenville Police found a BB gun in the vehicle Felix was driving.

Also, Darke County Prosecutor Kelly Ormsby said last week Felix had a criminal history in both New York and New Hampshire.

Felix is set to appear Wednesday for a preliminary hearing.

Dingman enters guilty plea

BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – John Dingman, 23, of Greenville entered a change of plea Tuesday in Darke County Common Pleas Court before Judge Jonathan P. Hein.

Dingman is accused of one count of burglarly, a third-degree felony, for breaking into his former girlfriend’s home on

Christmas Day to “perform theft or petty theft,” according to Darke County Prosecutor Kelly Ormsby.

The woman was not home at the time of the break-in.

Hein accepted Dingman’s guilty plea and ordered a pre-sentence investigation, setting his sentencing date for June 11.

Dingman faces 36 months in prison and a $10,000 fine.

lent turn at the hands of a supporter of his opponent. Faber called on all the campaigns in the race to cooperate fully with the investigation and to suspend the activities of any campaign supporter acting improperly.

“This attack does not reflect the values of the people of Mercer County or the 84th District,” Faber said. “We can agree to disagree on the issues, but violence has no place in our democracy.”

Faber said he believes the attack stemmed from the fact he had photographed the assailant stealing campaign yard signs just before the incident. Faber’s campaign had placed signs in the yard of Boardwalk Grill with permission from the lessee of the property. The attack happened while Faber was sitting in his car attempting to call local police and report the theft.

Faber further called on campaigns and the supporters of campaigns to tone down the rhetoric being used on social media. “I think tensions have risen during this campaign season because of

inflammatory comments being made on social media outlets, like Facebook,” Faber said, adding that, “It’s easy to sit behind a computer screen and sling mud, but I think all the campaigns and their supporters should take the high road and avoid engaging in negative tactics. My campaign has, and will continue, to discuss the issues that affect our district and our state.”

Faber is seeking the Republican nomination in the 84th District, which includes Mercer County, as well as parts of Auglaize, Darke and Shelby counties. Travis Faber, who lives in Celina, is an attorney who represents many local businesses and farmers in the area.

Heilers for State Rep. On May 8th we will once again get to exercise our rights of our republic to elect a representative to be our voice in Columbus.

The Ohio’s 84th House seat has been ďŹ lled by Jim Buchy and Keith Faber for years; now with no incumbent to ďŹ ll this seat we will have the opportunity to decide on the direction of this seat for the next two years. As a person who is rooted in agriculture and small business, I look for someone to be my voice for these very important issues. I also look to someone who has similar values and backgrounds to our community and my own, and I have found those qualities in Aaron Heilers.

I have known Aaron for quite a few years meeting at a farm bureau event and since then growing to know each other very well as close friends. I have come to admire his standforthness on issues and appreciate the fact that he has previous public service on the Shelby County Fairboard.

Aaron has also served on the Shelby County Farm Bureau Board and the State Farm Bureau Young Farmer Board. This grassroots membership organization works to protect the rights of its members and provide a platform to have issues dealt with on local, state and federal levels. Aaron has been very engaged with legislators over the years and knows what it takes to be heard and be educated to provide the facts on the issues so legislators can make the correct decisions.

All candidates always have someone to support and love them and Aaron has a wonderful wife, Sarah, and 3 children to help keep him grounded.

Sarah is an Ag teacher at Anna Local Schools, just a short drive from their home where they farm and raise winery grapes for local markets.

Aaron’s passion burns bright and he will carry this with him to Columbus to be a tenacious representative for the people of the 84th District. This is why I have endorsed Aaron Heilers and why I hope you will get out and vote for him on May 8.

Matt Aultman, Greenville Family man, Farmer, and Friend -----------------------Dill Oil Robbery Attempt Dear Citizens of Greenville, I am writing in regards to the attempted robbery at Dill Oil Company.

I wish to commend the Greenville Police Department and Darke County Sherriff Department on their exemplary handling of the situation. The response time was lightning fast. They were thorough.

They were thoughtful and professional. They proved to me they care.

This has been my experience with them in my 35 years in business here in

Darke County.

I understand that there are those who are on the other side of this fence. I would encourage everyone to remember how dangerous and thankless their job can be. I know the danger part. I lived it.

Sincerely, Brad Dill, Greenville The Dill Oil Company -----------------------Support for Stegall Dear Editor, This letter is written to support the re-election of Mr. Mike Stegall to the Darke County Commission in the Republican Primary vote on Tuesday, May 8, 2018.

I have known Mike for many years. He is a native of Darke County, attended school here, and has operated a successful small business for years. Mike has contributed much to the Darke County Community. Over the years, Mike Stegall has been and is active in many civic organizations and events.

For years he was a football referee, and he has been very active in helping bring the new track stadium and renovation of Harmon Field to fruition.

As one of three Darke County Commissioners, Mike Stegall has used his small business experience to maintain a balanced and conservative budget with adequate reserves to handle emergencies.

He has worked very hard to promote growth in the private sector and is continually exploring ways to encourage expansion of existing businesses as well as help bring new companies to Darke County. As a result of his tenure as County Commissioner, revenues have risen, more jobs have been created, and there are fewer residents unemployed.

Mike Stegall has worked hard as Commissioner to make our beloved county a better place to live, work and rear our families. He has invested much time, talent and resources to keep this wonderful community in which live, at the top. In short: I like Mike Stegall.

Please join me in voting for Mike Stegall to be re-elected as Darke County Commissioner in the May 8, 2018 Republican Primary election.

Thank you very much, Jim Buchy, Greenville -----------------------Addiction Treatment Week April 23-29, 2018 is Addiction Treatment Week! With the opioid crisis we are experiencing in our country, especially in our community, I want to share information to spread awareness for addiction treatment.

Addiction is a disease.

It is deďŹ ned as a primary, chronic disease of the brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry. In 2015, more people died from drug overdose than car accidents.

An addition 88,000 people died from alcohol re-

READERS WRITE lated causes that same year. The disease is treatable for those who seek treatment. With over 20.5 million Americans having a substance use disorder, whether that be an addiction to alcohol, opioids or other illicit drugs, only 1 in 10 of these individuals receive treatment.

Recovery from addition is best achieved through a combination of addiction counseling and medical care provided by trained and certiďŹ ed clinicians.

These treatment options are available in our area.

Contacting your primary care provider about your addiction is a great way to initiate the treatment and recovery process.

People not seeking treatment is not the only problem with our opioid crisis, there is also a shortage in addiction treatment providers nationwide. With nearly 2.3 million Americans suffering from opioid addiction in 2015, there was treatment capacity for only 1.5 million people. This leaves a treatment gap of nearly 1 million people. Also, only 2% of our country’s providers are trained to provide medication assisted treatment for addiction which leaves around 30 million people living in counties that do not have a single provider to provide medication assisted treatment for addiction.

We are fortunate that in Darke County, Family Health and Greenville Recovery and Wellness both have trained providers.

So, April 23-29, let’s try to help spread the awareness of the epidemic that our region and country is facing. If you know someone, or know someone who knows someone, who could beneďŹ t from addiction treatment, encourage them to seek their treatment that they need and deserve. Also, ask your provider about getting the training that they need to

Sincerely, Tyler Deitsch, Ohio Northern University Student -----------------------Travis Faber is my Choice I would like to ask that all Citizens examine Travis Faber for Ohio House Representative 84th district. I am supporting him after comparison and examination. He has, I believe quality and values with a clearly stated position on the most important issues. For me, he is the best choice. Please check for yourself. I am convinced and am voting for Travis Faber. Thanks Chuck Shanks, Greenville -----------------------Why Move to Greenville?

I haven’t written for some period of time – so here goes: Why are the gasoline prices, about 95% of the time, higher in Greenville than anywhere else in the area by miles? I, personally, buy no gasoline, but lawnmower gas in Greenville.

Why is it that the garbage they put into our gas, perhaps some of it produced in Greenville, reduces my automobile and truck efďŹ ciency by 4 to 5 miles per gallon? It obviously doesn’t help reduce the price.

Why would any company want to move to Greenville? What does it have to offer? It has no roads of any quality; at least I haven’t traveled on any I would consider “good� roads. I think citizens requiring auto repairs should send their bills to the city for payment.

Probably be a request in the near future for monies to ďŹ x the roads. Don’t forget the last time we were asked and we approved monies for road repair were lied to. We want to make sure we no railway repairs, etc. (This also applies to our county roads.)

A year or so ago we vote in $10 license tax to improve the county roads.

After it was voted in it was decided to use it on the airport; supposedly to bring in more money.

Why do we want to ďŹ x up the airport when there are no quality roads to drive potential customers to and from the airport – or does that come later? Fix the roads, it will bring in

more money, it might also convince companies there is a place for them here. I will never vote monies for anything the county needs in the future. My opinion is that the persons using the airport can pay for their own improvements.

Why doesn’t this city have more decent eating facilities? We have plenty of pizza places, but not much on the formal sitdown places where one can relax, eat and hold conversation.

Thank God for Annie Oakley, Lowell Thomas, Garst Museum and the Darke County Fair: without them Greenville would be nothing more than a small-time unheard of farming community or village.

Thank you, Dave Long, Greenville EDITOR’S NOTE: The additional $10 license fee is for roadways and bridges and not the airport.

Chase Road, near the airport, was improved with the promise the Darke County Commission would approve the additional fee. Zero dollars from this fee are used for runway improvements.

Funds from this additional fee also go to the city, villages and townships in Darke County.

Lady Wave nips Northmont to win Reds Futures High School Showcase GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

DAYTON – The Lady Wave took advantage of stellar defensive plays while playing error free softball to defeat the Northmont Lady Thunderbolts 2-1 in the Reds Futures High School Showcase at Wright State University.

“An hour and four minute game,” said Greenville coach Jerrod Newland.

“It was a quick, fast sharp game. You look around the field; everybody making great plays – just a fun game.”

Lady Wave freshman centerfielder, Nyesha Wright came up with the first fielding gem of the night with Northmont runners on first and second with two outs in the top of the second. The Lady Bolts’ Marissa Bardonaro lined a single to center with Wright coming up throwing to Chloe Sowry applying the tag at the plate to get the Lady Wave out of the inning unscathed.

Greenville put all their runs of the night on the board in the bottom of the third inning with Sowry reaching with an opening walk, followed by the game’s MVP, Morgan Gilbert ripping an RBI double to center scoring Sowry for a 1-0 Lady Wave lead.

with the throw going to the plate and scored on a heads-up play on a routine toss from the catcher back to the pitcher following a pitch; a wide throw that trickled to the second baseman allowing the speedy Gilbert to score the games second run with an error charged to the Northmont catcher. The unearned run made it a 2-0 lead in what would play out to be the winning run of the game.

Greenville’s Courtney Bryson, a defensive replacement in the top of the fifth made a strong throw from her left field position to cut down a Lady Bolts runner at second to close out the inning and keep the Clayton school off the board.

Lady Wave right fielder, Lani Shilt made a one out sixth inning highlight reel over the shoulder leaping catch in a full sprint off a Lady Bolts liner keeping the Wave shutout in tact after six innings of play.

A groundout to Haleigh Mayo at second got the first out of the inning with the Northmont runner moving to third on the throw.

A hard grounder to Gilbert at short had the shortstop looking the runner back to third and throwing to Cassie Cromwell at first for out number two while holding the runner at third.

The final out of the game came on the following play with the Lady Bolts grounding back to Christman on the mound for the toss to Cromwell at first and give the Greenville girls an impressive win by making the best of a walk, a double and a heads up play on the base paths while playing perfect ball in the field keeping the Lady Wave perfect in GWOC play.

“It’s nice to know playing Lebanon and Mason early makes you better, as both teams are perennial D-I top 10 teams,” noted Coach Newland.

The Lady Wave have been ranked in 84 of the past 85 OHSFSCA state polls and are riding an unprecedented string of 25 or more wins in 14 consecutive seasons while winning 10 District Championships in the past 11 seasons.

“It’s awesome to be included in the top programs year in and year out,” Newland said. “Everyone gets a neat kid or groups for a year or two, but to be included over the past 15 years is unreal.”

“Our motto is the name on the front so there is always neat groups coming in,” added Newland. “I like when the big wigs of high school softball talk about programs and dynasty’s and we’re right there. The poll probably sets there with 25 win seasons in unattainable range. Just so proud of the program, kids and community.”

we did,” said Newland.

“Zoe (Pressnall) made every play tonight, Morgan (Gilbert) made every play.

Mayo made a couple neat ones.”

“Talk about the outfield, goodness gracious, Nyesha (Wright) throws a girl out at home early for the bang-banger, Lani (Shilt) catches a ball, took away a double/triple there and it’s a good thing she has every inch she’s got there – just going and she robbed it then we throw the girls out at second base.

“Courtny Bryson goes in on a base hit, throws that girl out,” added Newland.

“Fundamentally, Cass

reaching deep and then at second Mayo came across just bang-bang making that throw shorter, got the runner by a step and every kid out there made a play.”

“Christman today – just can’t say enough,” said Newland of Caitlin Christman’s complete game.

“Great job on the mound especially against a big aggressive team like that and to keep them off balance a little bit, and make some plays behind her. Defensively she made two or three nice plays too.”

Greenville shortstop Morgan Gilbert was named MVP of the game spon-

sored by Skyline Chili.

“What a neat atmosphere today just being invited by the Reds and to come down there in a couple weeks,” Newland said.

“It will be neat getting the winning plaque down there instead of the silver one, we don’t like to collect those – and Morgan (Gilbert), what an awesome opportunity for a young sophomore to get a chance to go out there on the (Reds) field, get her name on a Louisville Slugger bat and MVP of this. She just plays it the right way and she drove that ball to get our first run and then scores the second.”

Greenville’s Grace Coakley signs with Notre Dame College

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville senior Grace Coakley signed to run cross country and track for Notre Dame College, a Division II school.

“I’ve always loved running,” said Coakley. “I’ve always loved being part of the team, so I feel really honored that I get to continue to do something that I love.”

“Every time you lose a senior, especially a four year letter winner it’s kind of a sad day, but it’s always good to move on to the next level,” said Greenville Track and Field Coach Bill Plessinger. “It will be a great experience for her.”

Coakley, the daughter of Stephanie and Scott Lind, and Joe Coakley plans to major in intelligence studies, a study in data analytics, statistics and computers.

They have a good academic program that I was interested in and I like the area being close to a big city with a lot of opportunities,” Coakley stated. “I am really looking forward to it.”

It is no surprise that Coakley excels at track as her mother is the head

Green Wave cross country coach and the distance coach for the Greenville High School track team.

Coakley has excelled in many track events for the Lady Wave including running distances between 200 and 3,200 meters while excelling in the 800 and 1,600 runs.

“Versatility; the versatility has made her great.”

Plessinger said of Coakley’s biggest strength.

“She hasn’t run much as a sprinter but her mom makes her run the 200 once in a while for a workout and her times are in the top five or six in the 200 – and she’s not a sprinter.”

“She’s one of our top 400 runners, she is our best 800 runner, she’s our

best 1,600 runner and she runs the 3,200 and she runs it pretty well,” added Plessinger. “She is very versatile.”

“I really loved the coach up there and a couple of teammates that I met,” Coakley said of Notre Dame. “They were really nice.”

At Notre Dame College, Coakley plans to run the 1,500 meters or 5,000 meters for the NCAA Division II team.

“I would just like to keep progressing, get some more personal records, best times,” Coakley said of her college cross country and track goals. “Hopefully do well for the team, score some points and contribute as a teammate.”

Grote grand slam powers Lady Wave over Tippecanoe

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Lady Wave swept the Tippecanoe Lady Red Devils winning back-to-back GWOC American North games on consecutive nights, taking Wednesday night’s game by a 10-8 score following an 18-10 Tuesday night win.

“Just a great team win,” said Greenville coach Jerrod Newland. “They’re not all going to be 10 zip and they’re not all going to be one to nothing.”

The Lady Devils took an early 2-0 lead in the top of the first with Greenville adding a run in the bottom of the inning.

Tippecanoe took advantage of several Lady Wave third inning errors to grab a 5-1 advantage with Greenville plating a run in the bottom of the frame to trail 5-2.

“Today we were a little sluggish,” said Newland.

“Played a ‘B’ game today.”

Tipp pushed its lead back to four with a run in the top to lead 6-2 with Greenville coming to the plate.

The bottom of the fourth proved to be the big inning for the Lady Wave with Megan Johnson keeping the inning alive with a two out RBI single in her lone plate appearance of the night to make it a two run game with Greenville trailing 6-4 bringing GHS senior Sydney Grote to the plate.

“Megan Johnson kept the inning going there and got the hit,” said Newland, “and passed the bat and when she did that it extended it – got to Syd.” Following a screaming Grote liner just inches foul down the left field line in what would have been a game tying hit, Grote crushed a grand slam Bud Sink windshield destroyer over the centerfield fence giving the Lady Wave an 8-6 lead; their first of the night.

“Syd (Sydney Grote) hit

that ball good – it was getting there and it was gone,” said Newland of the season’s first broken windshield.

“Syd gets up there, two outs with bases loaded, senior leader steps up and gets the job done.”

“Bud Sink was around 15 years ago when it all started, watching Justine (Shilt) play back in the day – him and Judge (Hole) hanging out together,” said Newland of Sink’s broken windshield.

“He was there when it started and to be here 15 years later setting there – he’s a proud fan.”

“She really hit that grand slam,” said Sink. “Really helped them.”

Greenville added a run in each of the fifth and sixth innings to lead 10-6 only to have the visitors rally with two runs in the top of the seventh to trail 10-8 with the tying runs on base with one out in the inning.

The Lady Wave used a game ending double play

with Zoe Pressnall applying the tag on a sliding Tipp runner at third for the final out.

Caitlin Christman went the distance on the mound for the Lady Wave allowing three earned runs as the team would commit seven errors on the night.

“Hats off to Caitlin Christman today,” said Newland.

“We were sloppier than you know what on defense today and left a lot of outs on the field. The only walks she had was the ones I put on and if you throw strikes like that, we’re going to play good defense four out of five days.”

Grote was 3-4 at the plate including a grand slam to lead the Lady Wave with 4-RBIs. Baylee Petry was 3-4 at the plate, Morgan Gilbert, M. Johnson, Cassie Cromwell, Zoe Pressnall and Chloe Sowry each had a hit on the night. Courtney Bryson accounted for two sacrifices while scoring two

runs.

“I imagine Bud might send Syd a bill and have a lunch tip in it or something,” Newland said with a chuckle following the game.

“He’s been around all 15 years ever since it started in the park. The other day when he pulled up to the fence we were talking about the kids. Just makes you smile when people like that want to know how the girls

are going to be and that’s what Greenville is – people like Bud Sink. To see him out there – it just makes you smile. He took one for the team – that’s the best way to say it.”

“This is fine – I’ll get over it. That’s what I have insurance for,” said Sink with a chuckle. “I’ve been watching them for a long time – went to state with them and everyplace else.”

GREEENVILLE – Greenville was host to a varsity quad track and field meet with Tri-Village, Brookville and Houston making the trip to Greenville on a bitterly cold night at The Jennings Center.

“Real cold today,” said Greenville coach Bill Plessinger. “Kind of been the ‘spring of 2018’ but we’re here running.”

“We’re just tired of it,” Plessinger said of the cold and windy weather. ”It’s the same for everybody. Where it really hurts is the sprinters and the jumpers. We just haven’t been able to get out this whole spring to properly train.”

“We are all in the same boat,” Tri-Village coach Scott Warren said. “Just looking for the weather to get nicer. We’re going to use this just as a workout and I think that is what the other teams are doing. They are trying to compete.”

The Lady Wave took first place in with 105 team points followed by Houston

with 82 points, Tri-Village 36 and Brookville rounding out the night with 14 points.

Houston took first place in the boys competition with 105 points followed

by Greenville’s 89.5 points, Tri-Village with 45 and Brookville 28.5 points.

“Looking for conference to get here and the weather to get nicer,” Warren noted.

“We plan the season to try and get a little better and put yourself in position to do the best you can at conference, then on to Districts.”

“We have a few kids out

with minor leg injuries,” Plessinger said. “We just didn’t want to take any chances with them getting worse because we have Salzman Relays on Friday and we have the Stillwater Meet on Tuesday. Then we have the Greenville Invitational next Saturday and some of the kids are going to Wayne, so we have some big things ahead of us. We’ll see how it goes.”

GREENVILLE – Greenville’s Tanner Swisshelm signed to play football for the Muskingum University Fighting Muskies.

“Just getting to start a new chapter in my life with an entire new organization and new guys,” said Swisshelm.

The son of Mandy and Tanner Swisshelm, the Greenville senior plans to further his education with a study of earth science at Muskingum.

The 6’2” 275 pound GHS lineman looks to play on the offensive line for the Muskies.

“Obviously Tanner is a big kid,” said Greenville football coach Aaron Shaffer. “He moves fairly well for a big kid. He’s physical. Has good hands and feet. He’s obviously got to continue to grow and mature.”

“Unfortunately we lost him for parts of a couple different seasons due to injury, but he’s definitely a physical kid that’s got some size,” added Shaffer. “I would project he’s a guard, tackle.

(Front L-R) Mandy Swisshelm (mother), Tanner Swisshelm and Dave Swisshelm (father). (Back) Greenville football coach Aaron Shaffer.

(Gaylen Blosser photo)

I would say he goes over as a tackle, and if it doesn’t work out there they may move him inside, but he’s a guy that they’re going to try to find a place for him pretty quick.”

Coach Shaffer believes Muskingum will be a good fit for Swisshelm as it was for the 6’2” 240 pound 2013 GHS graduate and former Muskies offensive lineman Stetson Zumbrun.

Swisshelm will be joining 2017 GHS graduates; Karsyn Shaffer (softball) and Brandon Beyke (baseball) with the southern Ohio

school’s athletic programs.

“Tanner has worked hard through his career,” Shaffer said. “He’s a three-year starter for us and developed well along the way. For him to get an opportunity to go continue his athletic and academic career, it’s a tremendous opportunity at a place that is familiar with Greenville folks.”

“I think it’s a really good football program, well organized,” Swisshelm concluded. “Everybody seems to have the family mentality there.”

Tara Anderson will share her deconstructed clay sculpture.

Coomer finds and captures beauty in the industrial and mechanical, and Ms. Anderson’s charming sculptures include ‘industrial goth’ and ‘steampunk’ styles; these concepts fit in perfectly with our old building and its intriguing wheels and gears and pulleys,” Ms. Goetz stated.

Roestamadji added, “May is National History Month so we chose artists that have an interest in and utilize styles relaying historic interests, as Bear’s Mill is an historic landmark.”

Anderson says that she works intuitively, with much of her artistic output reflecting her daily life. Her art is currently focused on wheel-thrown ceramic sculpture which she creates at the basement studio within her home at Wilberforce.

A 1994 graduate of the University of Cincinnati’s College of Art and Design, Coomer has a passion for creating beauty with a camera and power tools.

Each of his industrial fine art pieces combines photography with pieces of metal suffering the effects of time and decay, creating what the artist calls an “artifact of time.”

The vivid abstract art of Mikee Huber and Dustin Wagner’s intriguing blown glass creations remain on display in the Clark Gallery at the Mill through April 22. Historic Bear’s Mill is located at 6450 ArcanumBear’s Mill Road about 5 miles east of Greenville; current hours of operation are Sundays 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.

According to Dr. Scott McCullough, Associate Professor of Mathematics and Physics, “Cole works diligently to help classmates who have not

mastered the material, serves as a spiritual and academic mentor to others and performed so well at his summer internship that he was offered a full time position.� In addi-

tion, “When faculty think of Cole as a person they think of integrity, vision and perseverance, coupled with a love for Christ and people. Furthermore, he passed his ďŹ rst two professional actuarial exams as an undergraduate-a difďŹ cult achievement.â€?

An Interdisciplinary Mathematics major with an Actuarial Science minor, Ward also served on the Residence Life staff as a Resident Assistant (RA) and Assistant Resident Director (ARD), where intentional community is the focus. “I am honored to receive this award, and thankful that God was able to work through me during my time at IWU,� stated Ward.

Susie George beneďŹ t set Wednesday at Marco’s Pizza

BY LINDA MOODY CORRESPONDENT lmoody@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – Coworkers of Susie George at Marco’s Pizza in Greenville are planning a beneďŹ t on her behalf this coming Wednesday (April 25) at the business at 900 E. Main St., Greenville.

Proceeds from the beneďŹ t for her family will help defray the medical and funeral expenses incurred during her recent illness.

Marco’s General Manager Jeremiah Gasper

indicated 20 percent of sales raised from 11 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Wednesday will be donated to the family.

Those wanting to place orders may visit Marco’s or call 547-6300.

Money will be given to George’s sons, Barry Deem and Travis Yohey, to use for her expenses.

George died April 5 at State of the Heart Care Center at Wayne HealthCare.

The 67-year-old Greenville woman, a 12-year employee of Marco’s, was

a valued employee and is missed. “She was a great worker...just fantastic,â€? said Gasper. “She was always upbeat. If you were having a bad day, she always tried to ďŹ gure out what went wrong. She knew the way to get around things. She was always a good worker.

Everybody knew her.�

According to him, she also did everything at Marco’s. “She made pizzas, salads and took orders, but mostly she drove and de-

livered pizzas,� he said. “The last time she worked here before she became ill was the end of March.�

Gasper said George got her nicknames, including Betty Boop, a couple of months ago when the theme at Romer’s was the “Wizard of Oz.� She apparently enjoyed herself there. “She loved to talk,�

Gasper added.

George, the daughter of the late Donald D. and Esther M. (Knapp) Heltzel, also worked for Olwine’s

ANSONIA - Days before prom night, Ansonia High School students learned about the deadly consequences of being irresponsible behind the wheel.

On April 12, the school held a mock crash to hopefully inspire the students to make smart decision while celebrating their prom.

The 60-minute presentation is part of Miami Valley Hospital’s CareFlight Drive Smart program which recreates a fatal motor vehicle accident, giving students the opportunity to see firsthand what happens at an accident scene.

As the re-enactment of a

rescue unfolds, students witness injured classmates taken away by ambulance and by CareFlight and even visualize a fatality of one fellow student. The impaired driver, that caused the deadly crash, is given a field sobriety test before being handcuffed and taken to jail for his poor decision to get behind the wheel drunk.

Students also heard from Laura Seger, a mother that lost her son as a result of an impaired driver. Her tragic story was a grim reminder of how a fun night could turn deadly and changes the lives of everyone involved forever.

teacher, Danielle Rhonemus, helped organize the event with the hope of making sure everyone has a safe and memorable prom. On a personal note, the scene brought back memories of losing her own cousin nearly four years ago in deadly motor vehicle crash.

“I just really hope the kids take something away from this and make smart choices so we don’t have something like this happen in real life,” Rhonemus said.

The vehicles for the mock crash were donated

by Meadows Towing.

Kennedy defends health department challenge

BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY –Dr. Terry Holman, director of the Darke County Health Department, wants to set the record straight and is defending his employees after statements made

by John Kennedy, county commission candidate, at The Early Bird/Bluebag Media debate on April 4.

The health department contacted The Early Bird to request a meeting that was held April 9. The Early Bird also met, via phone, with Kennedy on April 18.

In an article that appeared in The Early Bird on Feb. 18, Kennedy criticized the local health department for “stringent requirements that weren’t here for the six years prior that all of a sudden are now in place.” During the debate, Kennedy was asked what a commissioner can do to lessen the requirements imposed by the health department and what he believes the county needs to do to lessen restrictions overall.

Kennedy stands by his remarks and reiterated “They have literally told us point blank, and my wife can attest to this, that when they came into the Beanery (Brenda’s Beanery) and they said that we needed a mop bucket sink. They said, now we understand that the way you’re doing it is okay.

That it meets the requirements of state and federal guidelines, but it doesn’t meet our requirements.”

Dr. Holman disagrees and explained the local health department does not have additional rules and follows the Ohio Uniform Food Safety Code. The most recent rules went into effect on March 1, 2016. “This change did not affect the requirement of the items Mr. Kennedy mentions, such as the service (mop) sink,” said Holman. The health department referred to OAC 3717-1-5.1 that specifically requires a service sink or a curbed cleaning facil-

ity equipped with a floor drain.

Holman categorized Kennedy’s statement during the debate as “completely false if it occurred in Darke County.” Holman continued, “To our knowledge, only one sanitarian has ever spoken directly to Mr. Kennedy. This is our sewage and water sanitarian and it was in regard to his illegal septic tank installation and plumbing without a permit.” Holman was referring to a septic system tank and bathroom installed at Kennedy Vineyards.

Due to the health department’s requirements and the city’s requirement for a back-flow pressure valve and the property owner’s decision to not remedy the issue, Kennedy and his business partner decided to close Brenda’s Beanery instead of “sinking money into a business that was barely breaking even.”

Kennedy called the septic tank and bathroom at the vineyard a non-issue.

After hiring a plumber rec-

ommended by the health department and believing they were obtaining the correct permits and getting approval from the health department, he quickly found out that was not the case.

“The septic tank is a nonissue. It’s gone. We have a porta potty. We are back to the way it was done before,” said Kennedy.

The health department also addressed the issue that Kennedy Vineyards is not in compliance with the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) and does not have a wholesale license.

Holman stated, “He is not to be selling his wine off premises or ODA would like us to embargo it as an unapproved source.” The ODA confirmed Kennedy does not have a wholesale license, but has expressed he is willingly working with the ODA. Kennedy confirmed he will be meeting with their representatives this week.

Kennedy also countered that he is licensed through the Ohio Department of Li-

quor Control and has been for five years. In fact, he has several licenses through liquor control, including an A1C to manufacture beer (6/8/17), A2 to manufacture wine (4/6/13), A3A to manufacture spirituous liquor and sale to a personal consumer (9/13/17), B2A for sale of wine to a retail permit holder (4/16/13) and S for sale of wine to personal consumer via mail order (4/16/13).

Kennedy noted this is a large problem across the state with three agencies, health department, ODA and liquor control vying for control of wineries. He said with the large boom of wineries and distilleries in Ohio “the state was not equipped or prepared to handle it.”

“Every time the health department sends me a letter I call them. I couldn’t be a wholesaler without a wholesale license. I’m not going to risk my license to wholesale without a wholesale license. I’m not ducking or avoiding anyone,” said Kennedy.

Brown Township cemetery cleanup ANSONIA – The Brown Township Trustees are encouraging everyone to remove old decorations and items from the township cemetery gravesites by Saturday, May 12.

Due to the upcoming mowing season you are strongly encouraged to pay attention to the following rules. *No trespassing after dark. *No planting of any kind including trees and shrubs. *Trustees will level dirt and plant grass seed.

*All flowers and wreaths permitted on graves one week before and two weeks after Memorial Day. Any faded or unkempt decorations will be removed.

If you have any questions in regard to the cemeteries in Brown Township, contact one of the trustees: Ed Huff Jr., Andy Prasuhn, and Nate Midlam. Your assistance in aiding the trustees with the upkeep of the grounds and markers is greatly appreciated.

GREENVILLE - Brethren Retirement Community residents, staff and community members filled the Brick Room at BRC Friday, April 13, to hear renowned speaker, writer and motivator Missy Buchanan speak on “Aging Gracefully In A World Of Change.”

From the minute the presentation started, it was clear to see that Buchanan’s southern accent and compassionate personality had the full attention of the guests.

Her heartfelt, real life stories and experiences were fascinating and so easy to relate to in many ways.

Buchanan shared that sometimes it feels as though the world has

passed you by. As you have grown older, life has become all about computers, smart phones and something called emojis.

There are days when you struggle to understand the conversation and values of younger generations. What happened to the good ol’ days as you knew them? How do you find a sense of purpose when it seems you have none?

It is all unsettling, she continued. Buchanan’s message was a reminder that God’s perspective on aging is different than culture’s perspective.

Throughout her enlightening presentation, Buchanan would engage the audience and ask how they felt about aging. The

crowd participated with each question and at the end you could see the impact that her presentation had on them with the calm look on their

faces and numerous head nods as she further reminded everyone that we must joyfully adapt to this changing world as we all age.

Old Union City, Ohio buildings to get signage LINDA MOODY

CORRESPONDENT

UNION CITY, Ohio – The Union City, Ohio, Wall of History Committee is working on getting signage for old business buildings on the Ohio side of this village.

Betty Grimes, who spearheads the Wall of History Committee, said she and her committee are in the process of gathering information for signs that will be created to identify all the businesses which have set up over the years on each individual site.

Grimes, working with committee members Scott Stahl, Nancy Rush, Paul Hartzell and Chad Wade, have been busy getting lots of information and addresses in order to get at least small signs for every building.

The Has-tee building, she reported, is getting a 12x18inch sign for businesses that had set up on that lot over the years.

Grimes said the signage work is being done by Dave Flannery of Advanced Signs and Graphics in Muncie, Ind. The signs are weatherproof and will be hung outside on the walls of the respective businesses, old and new.

Grimes said the com-

mittee welcomes anyone who wants to assist in getting information to them or by donating old telephone books and Polk residential/ business directories to use in their search of all those businesses that have been established since the town was formed.

The signs will include wordage and some pictures of the respective businesses.

“We want to put up as many signs as we can to preserve history of Union City,” Stahl said. “Every year that goes by, memories fade.”

Anyone needing more information can contact Grimes at 937-968-4756 or any of the other committee members.

The Wall of History had its beginnings on March 16, 2011, when Grimes was asked by then-Village Administrator Bill Bruggeman to take on the project.

“The village had received some money from the Bectol Corp., a cell phone company that was located on the Weimer Property, a few years back to be used for such a project,” Grimes said. “When I went to village council to see about it that is when Bill asked me to oversee it.”

Thus, a committee was formed and rules and ordinances were set up by the group to help out in this effort.

Courthouse steps project moving forward SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – Darke County Commissioners on Wednesday approved an agreement with Mote & Associates for professional architectural services regarding the renovation of the courthouse steps.

The agreement lists services Mote & Associates will complete in the initial phase of the project, which will include drawing up plans for commissioners to review and make a final selection.

Commissioners agreed to pay Mote & Associates a lump sum payment in the amount of $42,500 for the following: * Topographical survey ($4,000) * Obtain applicable building measurements ($3,000) * Final design phase ($11,500), including plans for demolition, preparation of site, grading/site details, foundation,

floor, structural, structural evaluation of stonework over first floor entrance, details and sections, lighting, electrical, emergency egress, construction sequence, ADA details and signage, and consultation meeting attendance. * Bidding and negotiating phase ($4,000) * Limited construction phase (hourly upon request) * Post construction phase (hourly upon request) The agreement, said Commissioner Mike Rhoades, gives Mote & Associates the go-ahead to begin drawing up plans, which commissioners will review and approve.

Rhoades said the new courthouse steps will reflect the original architectural style of the courthouse, which was constructed in 1874.

The current steps, Rhoades said, date to 1920.

Commissioners have said they would like to see the courthouse steps project be completed this year.

GREENVILLE – Illumination Festival: Light in the Darke has built a reputation for bringing the top artists in Contemporary Christian to Greenville. From Big Daddy Weave to TobyMac to the Newsboys and David Crowder, the Illumination committee has been dedicated to filling the Darke County Fairgrounds with music that uplifts the soul and encourages a relationship with Jesus. The 2018 festival follows in the footsteps of the previous decade of concerts. This week, the festival committee announced its lineup with Matt Maher headlining the event. Joining him for an evening of inspiration, fun and music will be Danny Gokey, Tauren Wells, and Stars Go Dim. This year’s festival will also mark the return of one of the event’s most popular artists, The Splat Experience.

Illumination Festival 2018 will be held Sept. 15 at the Darke County Fair-

grounds in Greenville. As in the past, the committee is already preparing for a full day of activities prior to the Saturday evening concert, including the ever-popular coffee house with local and regional artists.

Maher is one of the most decorated Contemporary Christian music artists with numerous Grammy, Dove, Covenant and Unity Awards nominations and wins as a singer and songwriter. The Newfoundland, Canada native hit the music scene in 2001 with his first album and eight albums later he is still going strong. His latest project, Echoes, was released in September 2017

and has garnered much attention while moving up to #5 on the U.S. Christian Music Chart. Maher lists among his honors the opportunity to perform with TobyMac, Kelly Clarkson and Third Day at a Rally for Youth and Seminarians during Pope Benedict XVI’s visit to the U.S. in 2008 Wisconsin native and American Idol finalist Danny Gokey crossed-over to Contemporary Christian music in 2014 with his first album in this genre, Hope in Front of Me. The project skyrocketed to #1 on the Billboard Christian Albums, Billboard Christian Airplay and Mediabase Adult

Christian Contemporary charts. His newest release, Rise, allows Gokey to share his passion to touch people who, like him, have suffered moments of hopelessness.

Grammy nominated Tauren Wells has hit the top 10 with his two most recent singles, Hills and Valleys and When We Pray.

Stars Go Dim members, Chris Cleveland, Josh Roach, Joey Avalos and Kyle Williams, are currently performing music from their first major label studio album; a self-titled project.

The band earned a Dove Award nomination in 2016 for New Artist of the Year.

Teens can lower insurance with drug free driving SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – It pays to be drug and alcohol free.

Beginning this month, teens who can pass drug and alcohol screenings at the Darke County Recovery & Wellness Center also are eligible to get a break on car insurance.

Thanks to the new Drug Free Driver program initiated by the student-led leadership group We Are the Majority, American Family Insurance is offering discounts for area teen drivers.

According to Shawna Brewer, an American Family agent in Greenville, the program is part of the insurance company’s Dream Fearlessly campaign.

“That’s really one of the most expensive things parents and kids run into. They seem to be pretty shocked to see how expensive insurance is for 16-year-olds, especially boys,” Brewer said.

Brewer said she was contacted by Kelly Har-

rison, prevention specialist with the Darke County Recovery & Wellness and adult adviser for We Are the Majority.

“She knew I was an insurance agent and asked what we could do to offer kids an incentive,” Brewer said.

Brewer and Harrison touched base after Harrison saw a friend’s complaint on Facebook about the insurance quotes she was receiving for her new teen driver.

“We’re always looking for incentives for kids to be and remain drug free,” Harrison said. “I reached out to Shawna and asked her if she’d be interested in helping.”

Harrison and Majority student leaders worked with Brewer to develop the Drug Free Driver program, which starts off with teens agreeing to be screened for drugs and alcohol at the Recovery & Wellness Center.

Recently, GHS senior Grace Coakley took the screening tests.

“There are a lot of perks to being a drug and alcohol

free teen, but this program is a great and easy way to get an instant reward for making healthy decisions,” she said.

Several local businesses are supporting the Drug Free Driver program by providing gift cards and items for goody bags, which are given to the teens who pass the screenings.

Some of these goody bag perks include items/cards from Second National Bank, Greenwave Car Wash, Rapid Fire Pizza, Dairy King and Sadie Grace. Second National Bank also made a

monetary donation in support of the Drug Free Driver program, Harrison said.

“The drug free driver program is an exceptional opportunity that I advise all young drivers to take advantage of,” said GHS senior Will Coomer. “If you are already drug free, what’s stopping you from participating?”

Teens who pass screenings also are given a Drug Free Card to carry with them. The cards are good for six months and may be renewed throughout the teen’s high school years.

Also provided in the goody bags is information for teens and their parents from American Family Insurance, detailing how to access their teen driver discounts, said Harrison.

Teens who would like to participate in the Drug Free Driver program are invited to stop by the Recovery & Wellness Center, 600 Walnut St., Greenville between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Wednesday.

Thursday appointments also may be available by calling 937-548-6842.

BOE, city officials discuss proposed redevelopment districts SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Representatives from the city and Greenville School Board met Thursday to discuss proposed Downtown Redevelopment District (DRD) plans.

The work session, held prior to the board’s regular monthly meeting, included Curt Garrison, safety service director and Mayor Steve Willman, along with Darke County Economic Development Director Mike Bowers, city councilwoman Dori Howdieshell, and Eric Brand, attorney.

Nick Green, representing The Montrose Group, was available by phone to

explain the revitalization plan and answer questions.

The city’s proposal includes the establishment of nine DRDs, which would encompass 10 acres each, as well as at least one historical building per DRD. As property owners make improvements, the city would receive a percentage of the increase in property taxes in the form of a Tax Increment Finance, or TIF. TIF monies would be used to revitalize the DRD, in the form of grants or loans to businesses or infrastructure improvements.

Two timelines for DRDs have been approved by the state – city council could

choose a 10-year option or a 30-year option – the later requiring the approval of the board of education.

“Improvements in this community will benefit the entire community including the city and the school district,” said Brad Gettinger, board president. “I want to support that but also make sure that it does not come at too high of a cost to the district.”

Another work session is planned for May to further discuss the city’s proposal.

In other business: • The board approved a resolution outlining their opposition to HB 512, which if passed would consolidate the Ohio Department of Education, the Ohio Department of High-

er Education and the Governor’s Office of Workforce Transformation, into a new state agency called the Department of Learning and Achievement. The resolution states “public education is at its best when the interests of the people are served through publiclyelected boards, and the State Board of Education is no exception.”

According to board member Jim Sommer, state board of education officials have “asked (local school) boards to pass this resolution to bring it to the attention of the public.”

• The board also approved monthly insurance rates for its employees, which will be effective Oct. 1.

(StatePoint) More consumers are interested in selecting products that are good for the planet and their families, than ever before. While many understand what organic food is, confusion still exists when it comes to home furnishings. Simply put, what you bring into your home directly impacts the health and welfare of your family in terms of exposure to chemicals of concern, indoor air quality and comfort.

With the deluge of products claiming to be environmentally sustainable, it’s important to know what to look for when furnishing your home. Here are some considerations to bear in mind.

• Does it contain harmful chemicals? While the EPA has phased out the use of some of the most potentially harmful chemicals, some chemical variations continue to be used in upholstery and fabrics.

To get a sense of what’s good and what may be bad, consult resources like the U.S. EPA’s Chemicals of Concern List and the Living Future Institute’s Red List. Remember that while some degree of chemical treatment may be needed to make fabrics fire-retardant or stain-repellent, in many instances, green manufacturers employ minimal chemistry or have found natural solutions to achieve these results.

• Am I considering all the options? Fortunately,

top fabric and furniture manufacturers have developed more sustainable alternatives. For example, Milliken & Company recently launched Breathe

by Milliken, an eco-elegant collection of fluorinefree performance fabrics available in both natural and recycled polyester fibers. Furniture retailers are offering sustainablysourced, locally-made, and organic furniture and fabric options, while big box retailers like Target have developed sustainability scoring requirements on products to help educate and empower consumers.

• Where does it come from? A sofa made from natural materials may not be a truly green choice.

Consider the supply chain, too. Are natural raw materials sustainably grown and harvested? Are they made by companies with reputations for environmental stewardship according to green manufacturing principles?

• What’s it made of? Select natural fibers or materials like cotton or wood whenever possible. However, if you prefer manmade fibers, ask about

items made from recycled or post-consumer materials. For example, Breathe

by Milliken polyester fabrics are made from recycled plastic, and each sofa upholstered in this fabric diverts 90-150 plastic bottles from landfills.

• How long will it last?

Durability is sustainability. Whether wood, molded plastic or fabric, quality household items will remain in use, rather than in the landfill.

• What happens when I’m done with it? Opt for materials that consist of recycled or reused materials and/or those that biodegrade or can be easily recycled.

• Have green claims been validated? “Greenwashing,” or aking untrue or inaccurate sustainability claims, is a pervasive problem across a range of industries. Opt for brands with third-party certifications. For example, products achieving GREENGUARD Gold certification have been screened to ensure they don’t contain any of the more than 10,000 chemicals commonly known to pollute the air we breathe. Earning this certification means these fabrics meet the world’s most rigorous chemical emission standards, improving indoor air quality and overall health. The Sustainable Furnishings Council is another excellent consumer resource.

Your home is your refuge. Knowing the facts about what you choose to put into it can allow you to feel better -- literally and in terms of your environmental impact.

Are your home furnishings good for the planet and your family?

The secrets to being an organized family (METRO) Modern families seem to be juggling more than ever before.

When time seems to be a luxury, an ability to stay organized can help families manage the hustle and bustle of daily life more effectively. An online survey conducted by an internal research team on behalf of The Huffington Post polled more than 1,000 American adults in 2013, revealing 84 percent of recently stressed Americans say they worry that their home isnÕt clean or organized enough. Within that group, 55 percent cited disorganization at home as a source of recent stress.Disorganization does not occur overnight, and neither will getting re-organized. But with some motivation, all families can become more orderly.Manage morningsFamilies can usually use more help getting out of the house each morning in a timely manner. Each member of the household should have a designated area where they keep the items they will need for the next morning. Backpacks and briefcases should be prepacked, and lunches made the night before.

In addition, sort the next dayÕs clothes before going to bed. Such efforts should make it easier to get out of the house on time each morning.Sort the entrywayHome entryways are usually hubs of traffic.

Such areas are the first and last place family members go when entering or leaving the house. As a result, these areas are in need of some routine organizational attention. Use sorting bins for shoes, hooks for coats, trays for mail or homework, and other sorting equipment to keep things tidy and orderly.

Embrace the purgeTake a hard look at what you use and what you donÕt use around the house. Holding on to items you rarely use can contribute to clutter and create a disorganized home. Save only a few sentimental items, donating, recycling or discarding the others.Many organizational experts suggest going through items one by one and asking oneself if this is something that has been used recently. If itÕs been collecting dust for a year or more, it can go.

Sensible storageAnalyze what you have and then find sensible storage solu-

tions. Store belongings in the same place each day so items are easy to find when needed. Frequently used items should be easily accessible. Seldom used items, such as holiday decorations, can be stored out

of the way.It takes commitment and time to get organized. However, life tends to move along much more smoothly in organized homes than homes marked by clutter.

Learn the basics of mulching (METRO) Mulch is available in various forms.

Like other land and garden products, mulch can go a long way toward helping plants thrive.

Mulch comprises just about any material that is spread over the surface of soil. Its purpose is primarily to help soil retain moisture. In addition, mulch can staunch weed growth, keep soil cool, improve the aesthetics of garden beds, and even improve soil nutrient composition. When the right mulch is chosen, it can reduce the amount of time homeowners spend watering and weeding their gardens and insulate plants from dramatic changes in weather.

Gardeners may not realize that mulch also can prevent garden soil from becoming overly compacted, according to HGTV. This can mean beneficial earthworms can move eas-

ily through the soil, creating channels for water and depositing their nutrientrich waste products.

Gardeners can choose organic or inorganic mulch. Organic mulches are derived from natural materials that will decompose over time, lending organic matter as well as various nutrients to the soil. Organic mulches also may contain beneficial microorganisms that can fight against plant diseases. Inorganic mulches may be made of stones, landscape fabrics and plastic. Both types will need to be amended or replaced as they degrade.

Those who want the most environmentally-friendly mulching materials can choose all-natural mulches instead of synthetic alternatives.

To work effectively, mulch should be applied in a two- to three-inch layer of material, state the experts at Old World Garden Farms. This is the ideal amount to retain soil moisture and suppress weed growth without choking plants. Also, mulch that is too thick may make it impossible for water to penetrate, or it may prevent the soil from airing out, causing continuously wet conditions that lead to root and stem rot.

The University of Connecticut Home & Garden Education Center says mulch should not be placed directly against plant crowns or tree bases, as this can promote the development of disease. It may also serve as a habitat for bark- and stem-eating rodents. The center also suggests watering newly

Mulch also can prevent garden soil from becoming overly compacted.

installed bark or wood mulches to prevent fungi from colonizing in dry mulch and causing problems like a water-repellent surface on the mulch.

Home landscapers considering mulch types may find that compost, manure and grass clippings (from nonpesticide-treated lawns) can be inexpensive and versatile in garden beds. The home advice site The Spruce notes that newspaper may also be effective. Many newspapers

have switched over to organic dyes, especially for their black and white sections. Newspapers are an inexpensive way to suppress weeds and act like organic mulch in beds.

They can be covered with other organic mulch, like shredded bark, for more visual appeal.

Mulch can be a versatile asset when doing gardening projects around home landscapes. And the benefits are more than just aesthetic.

When to tackle weeds in your lawn (METRO) Weeds are the bane of lawn and garden enthusiasts. Weeds can spread rapidly and overrun pristine grass, choking lawns and robbing them of their lush green look. In garden beds, weeds can steal water from thirsty plants, threatening their survival. A proactive approach that prevents weed growth is easier and less frustrating than dealing with weeds after they have sprouted. That means addressing weeds before they release seeds, and not waiting so long that the damage is already done.

According to the home and landscape experts with This Old House, spraying herbicide for weeds in June and

July can address weeds before seeds are set. Tilling and installing a new lawn in late August or the beginning of September can help the lawn establish itself before the first frosts arrive, all the while avoiding weed growth. The weed control experts at Roundup also suggest a springtime application of weed killer if this is the desired route. Early treatment can prevent weed roots from spreading too far in the soil, which can reduce the chances that weed remnants will be left behind to grow at a later time. Homeowners with small lawns or gardens or those who prefer hand-weeding or using nonchemical ways to

treat weeds must take steps to address the weeds early.

Gardeners can try suffocating weeds by placing wood, blocks or plastic over them.

Wet newspaper used as mulch can block weed formation and also clear patches of unwanted grass so that garden beds can be mapped out. Pouring boiling water on weeds or pulling them by hand is more effective when roots are young and have not yet spread. Weeds are a nuisance and an eyesore in lawns and gardens.

Choosing the right time to treat them can ensure they don’t adversely affect lush landscapes and thriving gardens.

Ansonia FFA celebrates FFA Week ANSONIA – The National FFA Week was Feb. 1923. This week is a very busy time for all FFA members.

During this week the officers had many different activities planned that all members could participate in.

Each day of the week there was a specified dress up day to show their support of the chapter. The dress up days were as follows: Mondaynone (no school), Tuesdaycamo day, Wednesday- hat day, Thursday- flannel day, Friday FFA t-shirt day.

Throughout the week, students showed their FFA pride by dressing up.

To kick off FFA week, any member who sold over $300 in the winter fruit sale had the opportunity to get a free breakfast at Bob Evans with the officer team. This was a great way to reward the active members for their hard work and dedication in FFA. On Tuesday, the students were able to stall their

classes in the ever famous “penny stall”. The kids would buy pennies in the ag shop or bring them in for their teachers to count out and stall their class time.

On Thursday, all of the FFA officers made their annual staff breakfast meal.

They worked for hours preparing the delicious food for all of the dedicated staff members at the school. The officers made pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage patties and links, fruit salad, and hashbrown casserole. The staff always looks forward to this event every year during FFA week.

Another activity that the officer team had planned was the annual Jr. High AG Olympics. Each grade elected six representatives to participate in the competitive relay race. The participants would each have a specified event they would complete before tapping the hand of the next person. All of the kids had

to work together as a team to finish the entire relay race and beat the other teams they were competing against. Some of the activities they were asked to do were shucking corn, pedal tractor races, putting a drill together, and untangling and wrapping an extension cord. As another part of AG Olympics, the kids elect 1 boy and 1 girl from each grade and also 1 female and male teacher to kiss the pig.

A pig is brought in from a farm and each elected person would have the chance to kiss it.

On Friday, they held the Tractor Cade. Some of the FFA members were able to drive their tractors to school and display them for the duration of the school day.

FFA week this year was a big success and all of the officer’s hard work paid off.

Thank you to everyone who participated in dress up days and events.

Worch helps meet spring planting needs VERSAILLES – Worch Memorial Public Library has several opportunities available to help with spring planting this year.

From the seeds in the seed library to the plots in the community garden for planting, it is all available

at the library.

The library has 5’ x 10’ plots available to plant in their 3 Peas in a Pod Garden (People, Pride and Progress). Come to the library and pick up the guidelines and application or visit the library’s

Recycling electronics at Worch Library VERSAILLES – Worch Memorial Public Library is asking the community to drop off old electronic equipment to recycle. Be responsible today for a better tomorrow and dispose of obsolete electronics a friendly way to help protect the earth.

During the month of April you can drop off old electronic equipment to be recycled. No fees. No hassle. Just drop the electronic off and the library

will recycle it for you. If it is a computer that needs wiped clean first, then let Paul, technology specialist, know and he will clean it out for you, before it goes to recycle. There is a table for drop-off just inside the lobby.

For more information about the recycling program or anything else at the library, call 526-3416.

How empty-nesters can transform their homes

(METRO) After bringing home a bubbly baby boy or girl, it can be hard for parents to imagine that a day will come when their kids are off to college and then onto their own apartment or house.

After spending decades nurturing and caring for children, parents are then left with a suddenly quiet house and probably much more time to spare.

If saying goodbye to the kids also means extra house, there’s the option to downsize or make that extra space more useful.

Homeowners who choose to stay put can renovate vacant rooms into spaces that meet their newfound needs.* Hobby haven: If you’ve always meant to set up a crafting room, homebrewing station or an artist’s studio, now is an ideal time to do just that. Figure out which supplies you will need and begin reworking that former bedroom into a new sanctuary for leisure interests.* Guest suite: If you’ve never had a spare bedroom to entertain guests, a child’s former bedroom can fit the bill. It may not be that difficult to transform such spaces into relaxing and inviting rooms for overnight guests. Be sure there is at least a queen-sized bed and a dresser or chest of drawers to stash belongings. Select paint colors and linens in neutral tones so the room will be inviting to guests.* Living room redo: When there’s an entire soccer team coming over to hang out, that large sectional sofa or modular seating may be ideal. Now that the kids are out of the house and their friends are no longer coming over for movie night, living rooms can be made more intimate with small-scale seating.

A small sofa and two comfortable chairs may be a more fitting option.* Athome gym: Save on gym membership fees by building a mini studio right at home. Choose one of the larger bedrooms and then fill it with some fitness equipment, such as an elliptical trainer, a bench press bench and some free weights. Store rolledup mats in the closet for yoga or Pilates sessions.* Expanded bathroom: If space has always been at a premium in the bathroom, borrow area from an empty bedroom and turn it into a spa. Install a soaking tub separate from the shower, and fill the room with other amenities, such

as a warming lamp or even a small sauna.* Home office: Working from home a few days a week may be more plausible when nearing retirement, as it will be a smoother transition from heading to the office each day to spending more time at home. Turn a bedroom or den into an office space with a new desk and bookshelves.An empty nest can be a bittersweet experience, but parents can make such situations work for them by transforming their homes to better reflect their current needs.

Facebook page to find out more. The garden is to be maintained using organic practices.

Garden enthusiasts may also use the Local Roots Seed Library anytime the library is open. The seed library offers heirloom seeds, seed-starting mats, a soil analyzer, seed cleaning screen, seed packets and plastic pots and trays that you may take home and use for free.

The library is also offering hands-on classes through Modern Homesteader Monthly, a once monthly gathering of people who dream of a simpler way of life. Meetings are at 6:30 p.m. on the third Monday of each month.

Throughout the month

of May, the library is hosting its annual Community Plant Exchange. Perennials, self-seeding annuals, vegetables, and house plants are all welcome.

Please label plants with as much information as you can including name, light requirements, soil/water requirements, and a short description of the plant (height, color, etc) Bring plants, take plants, enjoy it and it’s all free.

If you need more information about the community garden, seed library, upcoming gardening classes or the plant exchange, please call the library at 937-526-3416 or visit the website at www.worch.lib. oh.us for a full list of upcoming classes.

Flowers and Rain Barrels at APL ARCANUM – Miller Flowers is coming to the Arcanum Public Library for its much anticipated annual event. On Thursday, April 26 at 6:30, representatives will present a program on the newest varieties of flowers and plants, as well as tried and true ones, to consider for your garden. The program will end with a question and answer session. The nursery will be bringing plenty of plants for sale.

There is no registration required for this event.

On Thursday, May 3, the Darke Soil and Water Conservation District will be putting on a Rain Barrel Workshop from 6:30–7:30 p.m. A rain barrel collects and stores rain runoff to

be utilized at another time.

This can help to lower water bills, and plants love rainwater. Darke SWCD will also showcase other uses for the barrels, such as creating a raised planter bed and a composter. Registration is required for this event as it is limited to 30 participants and there is a fee for the barrel and supplies. Interested persons can call the Darke SWCD directly at 937-548-1715, Ext. 3, or call the library at 937-692-8484 to sign up.

If you have any questions about these programs, call the library at (937) 692-8484 or visit www.arcanumpubliclibrary.org. The library is also on Facebook and Twitter.

Edison students discuss drugs at library GREENVILLE – For a number of years, the Edison Fundamentals of Communication students have been educating young people on bullying, drug abuse, and literacy.

They have visited nearly every school district in Darke County in order to talk about the consequences of risky or abu-

sive behavior.

A team of Edison State Darke County students will be talking to parents and other adults about the drug dangers teens face today, and how to help them make the right choices. The presentation will take place Thursday, May 3, 6:30 p.m. at the Greenville Public Library.

DCRTA to award scholarships in May GREENVILLE – DCRTA will be awarding scholarships to three Darke County seniors who are entering the field of education at its meeting/banquet on Tuesday, May 22, 6:30 p.m., in the Brick Room of the Brethren Retirement Community, Greenville.

The meal, catered by the BRC staff, will consist of roast beef, mashed potatoes & gravy, glazed carrots, tossed salad, rolls, black forest cherry delight, and drinks. The cost of the meal is $11 (make checks

payable to DCRTA).

After presentation of scholarships, the Sunshine Girls will lead everyone in singing some favorite and well-known “show” tunes.

Fundamentals of Communications students Kathryn Combs, Morgan Sparks, Jackson Plush, Josh Schrock and Autaum Moore have been working on their team project since the middle of March.

The Edison State students will discuss the Middle School years, grades five through eight, which they consider the dangerous years when teens are most likely faced with decisions about drugs. The presentation will include a discussion of the harder drugs, such as heroin, fentanyl and carfentanil, but will focus mostly on the drugs to which teens are usually introduced… tobacco, vapes, alcohol, prescription drugs and marijuana.

The Edison State team will share the dangers of these drugs and what parents can do to help their children make the right choices. Their research has been extensive and includes the latest available information. Questions will be taken from the audience. This is a free program with light refreshments provided.
