Plan to raise water rates questioned by council RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville residents may soon see higher rates on their water bills if Greenville City Council’s Utility Committee gets its way. The committee submitted a report detailing the plan to the entire council on June 16.

The committee was given the task of reviewing the

water rates while examining the rate structure. The committee was also asked to consider how adding a water tower would affect those rates.

The committee suggested the city forgo building a new water tower at this time.

A key provision of the report calls for the city to move its quarterly billing to monthly billing with a small rate increase for water. Ac-

cording to Utility Committee Chairman Roy Harrison, the minimum units billed would also be decreased.

The city currently bills for a minimum of 10 units over three months. If the report is accepted and legislation approved, residents would be charged for a minimum of three units each month.

However, residents using the minimum would see their bills go up by $1.32 per quarter. If approved,

residents would pay $11.24 per month provided only the minimum amount of water is used.

Members of council did not voice disagreement with either provision.

Several council members were concerned with the additional increase in fees pertaining to the water department. The Utility Committee’s report called for an increase in the shut off fee, which would require

residents to pay $50 to have their water turned back on if their water was turned off for late or non-payment.

The current fee is $20. Plus, new businesses and homes would face a hefty increase in the tap-in fee. Homeowners wanting to build would see that fee increase from $900 to $1,350 for a 3/4inch line and from $1,575 to $2,250 for a one-inch line.

Several felt these additional fees were too high.

Councilman Clarence Godwin stated if the city wants to encourage growth and build new homes it should be lowering the tap-in fees instead of increasing the rates.

Council chose to table the issue until there is additional discussion on the shut-off and tap-in fees.

They are hoping to hold a special meeting with the entire council to sort through the issues.

Harter named new Woodland principal BOB ROBINSON

ASSOCIATE EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Jody Harter, Assistant Principal at Woodland Heights Primary School, has been named its new principal with a two-year contract beginning the 2015-16 school year. She replaces Jeff Cassell, who is taking the helm at Greenville High School.

Greenville City Schools Superintendent Doug Fries brought her name before the GCSD Board of Education at its regular meeting June 18, telling her “welcome aboard.”

“Not yet,” quipped Harter. “They haven’t voted on me yet!” Enjoying the levity, the board quickly confirmed Fries’ nomination, 5-0.

Jody Harter

“She had a lot of competition,” Fries said. “There were eight or nine interviews, several candidates…

I’m pleased to be able to bring Mrs. Harter in as my choice for principal.”

Later Harter laughed. “I was unemployed for about 10 minutes,” she said. Prior to confirming her appointment, the Board had accepted her resignation as

assistant principal.

Harter has 12 years experience in education, two of them in leadership. She has a master’s degree in leadership from the University of Dayton. Prior to her year at Woodland, Harter taught for nine years at Anthony Wayne.

She was born and raised in Greenville and lives in the district with her husband Todd and their three daughters, Cali, Libby and Ella. Libby is a Woodland student; Cali an East student; Ella is three years old.

“I’m looking forward to next year as Woodland’s principal,” she said, “and I’d really like to thank Mr. Cassell for his support and leadership. I learned a lot from him.”

DCSO spends $100,000 on upgrades BOB ROBINSON

ASSOCIATE EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – “It needs to be done soon,” said Darke County Sheriff Chief Deputy Mark Whittaker, “but I don’t have a specific date.” He emphasized the point by noting one of their network switches went out over the weekend.

Whittaker was referring to two servers for the Sheriff’s office, plus necessary hardware and software, that have been authorized by the Darke County Commissioners.

The price tag, according to County Business Administrator John Cook, is $111,300. Darke County Commissioner Mike Rhoades said the money will come from the Capital Improvement Fund, leaving a balance of more than $400,000.

“Two servers are at the ‘end of life’,” said Rhoades.

The hardware and software is no longer supported. Whittaker expanded on that, indicating some of the servers the Sheriff’s Office has been using are 10 years old. “There are seven or eight pieces of equipment,” Whittaker added. They are used for Spillman, Microsoft products, the video system and more. “Our goal down the road is to reduce the servers to two to four.”

The new servers will have more storage space than the ones being replaced.

The software is also reaching its ‘end of life.’

According to Whittaker that will happen in about five or six weeks.

The commissioners and Whittaker wanted to be sure the public was aware this is only one area needing to be addressed.

“Sometimes there is confusion regarding the need for these servers and the need to develop a plan for radio communications,”

BOE plans meeting GREENVILLE – The Darke County Board of Elections will have a special meeting on June 22, 10 a.m., to conduct interviews for the IT Specialist position and to examine

proposals submitted for the purchase of electronic pollbooks. The Board meets at the board office located at 300 Garst Avenue, Greenville.

said the commissioners.

“These are two totally different things.”

In addition to age, the increased reliance on digital records and photographs has become a storage space issue. “Every photo we take in the course of our duties is stored electronically,” Whittaker noted in a prepared statement. The department is also moving toward more digital records and fewer paper records. “We were literally running out of physical space for all of the records we have to maintain,” he said. Now they are running out of digital space on their servers.

Whittaker noted the Sheriff’s Office is also keeping up with the need for proper cyber security… protecting the data and critical operating software that is maintained on site and backed up off site.

The redundancy allows the office to continue operation even if something catastrophic happens to their physical location.

“Just because we suffer a fire, power outage or weather related disaster at the Sheriff’s Office does not mean that we get to take a day or week off for repairs.”

BRC doesn’t let rain dampen Longest Day event spirit CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE - Despite the constant rain June 17, the Brethren Retirement Community (BRC) was not detoured from holding its second annual Longest Day event.

The Longest Day is a team event to raise funds and awareness for the Alzheimer’s Association. It is held each year on the summer solstice, the duration of this sunrise-to-sunset event symbolizes the challenging journey of those living with the disease and their caregivers.

With the wet conditions, most of BRC’s activities scheduled for the day were brought indoors. While some of the 113 walkers were able to get outdoors in between the rain, others walked the makeshift track inside the facility. Combined, the participants covered more than 245 miles on the day.

Brethren Retirement Community raised a total of $653.54 with the special ‘Pie Palooza’ fundraiser where the top six staff members volunteered to get a pie in face for raising the most money. Topping the list was Pastor Paula

Ulrich who raised $135.95 and chose resident Ted Wonder to do the honors of smashing the pie in her face.

In addition to the Pie Palooza, the BRC team held numerous other activities including face painting, euchre, dancing and karaoke, music, puzzles and more.

With the closing ceremony’s traditional lighting of the luminaries rained out, the group creatively hung nearly 50 “In Honor Of” name cards on the tree in the lobby. Each card contained the name of a person who fell victim to the disease that affects over five million Americans. Each name on a card was read aloud during the closing ceremony at 9:07 p.m.

Special guest Eric Van Vlyman, executive director of the Miami Valley Alzheimer’s Association, spoke to the group during the closing ceremony and thanked everyone that participated in the cause.

“You guys put the fun in fundraising,” said Van Vlyman. “You are a very special group and it’s always a pleasure to be here.

I hope with the money raised there can someday be a cure for this disease that affects so many!”

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT

Deceased female discovered; knife-wielding man arrested On June 13 police responded to the Towne House Motel, Room 120, 209 E. Main St., regarding a report of a woman not breathing, possibly deceased. A woman was lying on the bed, no signs of breathing. The female appeared to have been deceased for some time.

EMS arrived and confirmed her death. A crime scene was established and the coroner contacted.

Witness statements were taken while investigators conducted their investigations. A copy of the motel’s surveillance video was obtained and turned over to the GPD officer in charge.

DISORDERLY CONDUCT On June 15 police were dispatched to the area of 300 Riffle Avenue regarding a possible fight. Dispatch advised a male involved in the incident was walking north on Riffle

with a vehicle slowly following him. The driver of the vehicle, Jennifer Weyant, said the subject, Jeremy Magoto, was upset because she didn’t want him to drive drunk. The officer asked Magoto several times to quit walking, turn around and talk to him. Magoto refused and walked onto the porch of 214 Riffle Ave. When officers approached Magoto they detected a strong odor of alcoholic beverage on him. The suspect was allegedly shouting obscenities, would not calm down and not making any sense. Magoto’s right arm had a pink cast on it and his knuckles were dripping with blood. It was discovered he punched out the windows of Weyant’s vehicle.

Officers observed a large hunting knife in a carrier on Magoto’s hip. When he glanced at it he was told to

leave it alone or he would be tased. According to the report he said “you know what” and pulled the knife, pointing it at the officers.

One officer pulled his taser from its holster, pointed it at Magoto and told him to drop the knife. He was told seven times to drop the knife; Magoto finally complied so no force was needed. It took three officers, however, to place him under arrest. EMS was called; Magoto refused treatment. He was taken to Darke County jail, which turned him away due to it being full. He was taken to Mercer County jail, which turned him away due to the bleeding knuckle. By this time Magoto was being cooperative, so police issued him citations for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, took him home and released him to Weyant.

DRUGS On June 15 police executed an active arrest warrant at Darke County Recovery Services to Blake Hilderbrand for failure to appear on an OVI charge.

A probation officer from Darke County Municipal Court was already on the scene. Prior to being searched Hilderbrand admitted to having four white pills in his pocket.

The officer noted them as Hydrocodone, a schedule II narcotic. The defendant admitted he didn’t have a prescription, saying “those are my pain killers” and “I wouldn’t have brought those if I knew I was going to be arrested today.” Hilderbrand said the pills were Vicodin. He was transported to Darke County jail on the warrant and cited for possession of drugs.

On June 12 police observed a defendant (name not published due to only last name noted in report) with an active warrant for his arrest through GPD for failure to comply with serving three days on a disorderly conduct charge.

While placing handcuffs on the defendant, he admitted to having a “bowl” on his person. Police also found a silver “grinder” in his vehicle. The defendant was arrested and transported to Darke County jail. He was also cited for drug paraphernalia.

OVI On June 13, while in the 500 block of S. Broadway Street, police noticed a vehicle ‘peeling’ its tires then driving east on Martin Street. The officer conducted a traffic stop on Green Street at Martin. The driver, Steven Yohey, had

a strong odor of alcohol on him and slurred speech.

He acknowledged having had a few drinks. He did poorly on the field sobriety test and was arrested for OVI. At the police station he registered a .11 on the breathalyzer. The defendant, prior to the test, said he had 3-4 drinks, adding he’d just put a new engine in his vehicle and did not realize it would accelerate so rapidly. Yohey was cited for OVI, placed under Administrative License Suspension and released to a relative.

On June 9 police observed a vehicle on North Ohio Street without a front license plate. The officer followed the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop at East Fourth Street near Tecumseh Street. The officer detected an odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the vehicle. There was also a juvenile in the front passenger seat. The driver’s speech (driver not named in the report) seemed to be slurred and his eyes were bloodshot and glossy. He denied drinking at first then confirmed having a “couple of beers” while playing pool at a bar with his son. The driver did poorly on a field sobriety test, was placed under arrest for OVI and transported to the Greenville Police Department.

The juvenile was taken to the police department by another officer. A breathalyzer test registered .132.

The defendant was placed under Administrative License Suspension, issued a citation for OVI and No Front Plate, and released to a friend.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE On June 13 police arrested William Clark II for domestic violence and transported him to the Darke County jail.

THEFT On June 15 police responded to Koenig Equipment, 5155 Childrens Home-Bradford Road regarding the theft of a customer’s trailer and three lawn mowers. A Koenig employee stated sometime over the weekend the trailer and the lawn mowers, worth $10,537 each, were taken. They were behind a gate but since it wasn’t connected to a fence the suspects could easily drive around it. Police were advised the mowers all took the same key so it would have been easy for someone with a key to start the stolen mowers. A truck which had an empty trailer had been parked at the edge of the back was observed in the middle of the back

with four more mowers loaded on the trailer. The steering column was damaged, indicating the truck had been started; however it evidently couldn’t be restarted once the mowers were loaded, so was left at the scene. Nothing further at this time.

On June 3 police were dispatched to 334 Tiffin St. regarding a theft from a residence. The victim, Breawnna Barnes, said her boyfriend, Brit Rayburn, stole several Xbox items belonging to her. Following the interview the officer went to Go-Go Gamers and retrieved video showing the suspect, Brit, and Shane Rayburn selling the items. While the offer was there Barnes showed up to buy back the stolen items. Go-Go Gamers sold them back for what it had paid: $64.31. Shane had been arrested on a warrant unrelated to this case,

so he was interviewed at the Darke County jail.

He said he agreed to help his brother because Brit did not have a photo ID. He didn’t know the items were stolen. Brit was cited for theft; he acknowledged taking the items and confirmed Shane did not know they were stolen.

Miss Chick 2014 & Court: “Great, Memorable, Fun!”

BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

VERSAILLES – “Our job ends tomorrow,” said Miss Chick 2014 Elizabeth White with a trace of sadness on June 12. “It’s always hard to end an exciting experience like this.”

She was quick to point out, however, the contestants for this year’s pageant are all “fascinating.”

White and her court were not involved in the interviews of the 2015 contestants, but they “hung out” with them, just talking, as the hopefuls awaited their turns with the interview judges. There were 10 candidates this year… to which First Runner-up Courtney Rose responded, “It takes a ton of guts to do this!” She added, however, it’s a fantastic experience and well worth taking the challenge.

Second Runner-up Cassidy Condon said when they were contestants they also met with the judges the Friday before the pageant… then they had their list of questions during the pageant. “The first round was just to get to know you,” she said. “The second question required critical thinking… global topics.” From Condon’s perspective the main thing she had to prepare for was being sure not to embarrass herself.

Board holds public hearing ARCANUM – The Arcanum-Butler Local Board of Education will hold a public hearing for the purpose of discussion of retire/rehire of a public employee at the regular Board of Education Meeting on July 9, 7 p.m.

The girls thought about the parades they were in, the events… then estimated they could have spent anywhere from 100 to 200 hours performing their duties as Miss Chick and Court 2014. “Great hours,” Condon said. “Memorable,” Rose added. “There was really no hard work at all,” White said. “It was all fun.”

One of the things White enjoyed most was being on TV… she did an interview

spot on Channel 2. “That was lots of fun,” she said.

Future plans for all three were to return to school, but White had something additional on her mind. “I want to start a Miss Chicks Social,” she said. Noting it was for the “between ages” when the girls were too old for Little Miss Poultry Days but not old enough for the Pageant, she said it’s about a campaign to help young girls… build their confidence.

I are excited to offer cardiovascular services in this new centralized facility for specialty care,” Dr. Chong said.

The groundbreaking for the facility, on 10.1 acres, was celebrated in March 2014. The complex was completed in April of this year, though the move-in was delayed awaiting work to bring fiber optics to the property. The Greenville Medical Office Building includes separate treatment rooms and waiting areas for the different specialties, and is about 34,000 square feet.

“This new building will house in most cases specialty practices for doctors who have already been caring for Greenville area residents in other locations for many years, including Bethel Cardiology and Reid Orthopedics,” said Jon Ford, Reid’s Governing Board chair. “We want to

provide better facilities for our patients in the area and continue to offer specialty care that complements what is already offered by other providers.”

Other specialties are also being considered to be offered in the new complex, such as vascular and endocrinology.

Sharon Deschambeau, president of the Darke County Chamber of Commerce, said her county continues to be a leader in the regional economy thanks to continuing investments into the community such as the Reid project. “Darke County is a great place to do business, and we welcome this wonderful addition to our community. The chamber is eager to help celebrate this milestone.”

Tours will be offered around 5 p.m. after the ribbon-cutting; and a formal open house will be announced at a later date.

ON YOUR MIND

READERS WRITE Successful Football Camp

Dear Editor, This year was the 22st consecutive year for the Matt Light Football Camp.

The camp is a free two day camp for 8 to 14 year old youths from Greenville, Darke County, and the surrounding area (a record 213 campers attended). This football camp is made possible through the generous financial support of individuals and many local businesses. I would like to restate that many businesses and individuals from Greenville and Darke County have made generous contributions for many years to perpetuate the unique camp. The true meaning of “giving back” is demonstrated by the good businesses, businessmen, and businesswomen of Greenville and Darke County supporting the unique concept of a free football camp. I would like to encourage area residents to patronize and to thank the list of businesses and individuals listed below, when the opportunity arises.

Again, this year we were lucky enough to have Matt Light in attendance for both days of camp. Matt spoke to the kids on several occasions and helped with the coaching. As a bonus, Matt invited two current Purdue University starting offensive linemen to work the camp this year.

Also, Greenville Green Wave and now University of Cincinnati Linebacker, Bryce Jenkinson attended the camp and spoke to the

group.

The budget process nears the finish line W i t h the Senate wrapping up their work on the budget, we are now lookJIM BUCHY OHIO ing at the REPRESENTATIVE differences between their version and the House’s version. I’ve spent the last month meeting with over half of Ohio’s Senators to discuss the provisions in the budget that I feel are most important to helping Ohioan’s succeed.

In each of those meetings, I was pleased to know that the public servants in the Senate were heading in a direction of long-term sustainability for Ohio, the same goal we strive for in the House. On many occasions during the course of these meetings, Senators volunteered their support for the House’s efforts to reduce taxes and still provide adequate funding for our state agencies and schools.

The bipartisan, economically sound version of the budget that was passed by the House is good for Ohio.

With over $1.2 billion in tax relief to Ohioans over the next two years and an across-the-board income tax reduction of 6.3 percent for Ohioans, we can see the kinds of tax cuts needed to put more in wallets and see some real positive change.

Of course, even with all the matters both sides agree upon, budget deliberations will be difficult as we settle GREENVILLE EAGLES EVENTS

on the final funding levels and finish the process. The budget represents the road map for state spending for the next two fiscal years, so these decisions have a lasting impact. At stake is our responsibly to the taxpayers of Ohio to operate on a balanced budget.

The biggest challenge ahead of us in this process is determining what we can expect in revenue over the course of the next two years. We are budgeting based on projected revenue dollars, and if we budget for more than what actually comes in, we will have trouble paying the bills.

Relying on economic reality is crucial at this point.

We have a situation where there are differing opinions on what we can expect to see in revenue in the coming two years, which is providing a sticking point for exactly how we should be utilizing our funds. Ohio’s constitution requires a balanced budget be passed every two years. I have no doubt that both chambers will be able to get this completed and produce a budget that Ohio can be proud of, if we work together. No matter what, lowering taxes while still operating an effective, responsible state government should be a top priority.

Fathers need a theme song Father’s Day… Does it really matter or is it just another Hallmark holiday?

I have wonderful children. My daughters adore me and would do anything for me. They treat me with respect. They never tease me about my age or lack of hair in the small spot on the top of my head. They are always willing to do whatever I ask as soon as I ask. Wait! I’m thinking of someone else’s kids. On the bright side, they are fighting over who will get me when I get to the point I can’t take care of myself… ”You get him…” “No…You get him.” Fortunately, my wife is a little younger than me and should be able to care for me as I age. I did hear her tell the kids not to worry about it, but I’m

R Means Right and Right she’ll always be.

Put them all together, they spell MOTHER. A word that means the world to me.

Fathers – No song! I’m sure if there was a song, it probably wouldn’t bring a tear to our eyes like the Mother song.

F Is for the Flatulence he shares when I pull his finger.

A Is for the time he got Angry when I used his socket wrench as a hammer.

T Recognizes Caitlyn/ Bruce for being Transgender – He became a mom just to have that song be about him/her/??.

H Is for Hair and the fact that it grows everywhere except on your head.

E Is for his Eyes and the way he looked at me when I used his socket wrench as a hammer.

R Means mom is Right and dad is Rong (I know it’s spelled wrong, but I was going with the way my oldest daughter spells

things when she texts).

Do I feel jilted? In all honesty – not really! I don’t need anything. I don’t need flowers, cards, tools, neck tie or grilling accessories. The things I want – they can’t afford; therefore, I have everything I need. I have a wife and two daughters who love me. My kids are almost as sarcastic as their old man, which makes me very proud. My wife has a great sense of humor and is hotter than the day I married her. Who could ask for more?

With that said – your dad would still appreciate a phone call or stop by and visit him. If your dad is no longer around, randomly pick a phone number out of the phone book and make a call. You might make his day when he picks up the phone and you say, “You don’t know me, but I want to wish you a Happy Father’s Day.” There’s usually a period of silence/panic after that statement.

President owes vets a real plan for fixing VA It has been more than a year since General Eric Shinseki JOHN BOEHNER r e s i g n e d U.S. REPRESENTATIVE as the SecSPEAKER retary of OF THE HOUSE Veterans Affairs after widespread mismanagement and secret wait lists were exposed— and we are still waiting for President Obama to offer a long-term plan for reform.

August also marks one year since the president signed the Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act into law, which gave the secretary new authority to fire senior employees.

Yet, we are still waiting for those responsible for the secret lists at 110 VA facilities to be fired and held accountable. So far, only one person has been fired, while the others are still collecting paychecks from taxpayers.

Tolly’s Gastropub WEDNESDAY IS HUMP DAY!

644 WAGNER AVENUE, GREENVILLE

The president promised reform but at the VA we are seeing much of the same— more scandals, more arrogance, and no accountability.

For example, despite being given more than $16 billion to improve care and shorten wait times, the latest data shows the number of patients waiting more than 90 days for an appointment has nearly doubled nationwide. In Ohio, the Columbus Dispatch reports that our clinics are “barely better.” It is no wonder that my office has more constituent casework open with the Department of Veterans Affairs than any other federal agency, including the IRS and Social Security Administration.

In addition, the VA continues to spend your taxpayer dollars carelessly and irresponsibly. A recent in-

ternal watchdog report revealed that the VA is spending more than $6 billion a year illegally on items like excessive medical supplies and unlawful contracts. The senior official who authored the report even said that the “doors are swung open to fraud, waste and abuse,” and that these actions “may potentially result in serious harm or death to America’s veterans.”

So while the VA is spending your tax dollars illegally and putting veterans in harm’s way, it is still handing out undeserved bonuses to senior officials responsible for serious mismanagement. Just last month, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette discovered that top officials gave a retention bonus to the administrator who ignored the Legionnaires’ outbreak at the Pittsburgh VA. Even though six veter-

ans died under his watch, the VA awarded him two bonuses, totaling more than $100,000, after the scandal was uncovered and he resigned in 2013.

Our veterans have made tremendous sacrifices and this administration is failing to keep the president’s promise to “do right by our veterans across the board, as long as it takes.” The House will continue to lead to address these ongoing problems, improve access to care, and hold the VA accountable, but only the administration can change the culture from within.

What is the president waiting for? He owes the American people a plan.

Not a promise or a pledge, but a real plan that better serves those who sacrificed so much to protect our freedoms.

not sure what she meant when she said, “We’ll flip a coin for him when the time comes.”

Mothers really do get the most respect. They get the cute handmade cards – mainly because school is still in session and it is usually an art project. They conveniently scheduled Father’s Day when school is out. What’s the point of making something for dad if you can’t get an “A” for at least making the effort?

Plus, they get flowers the kids grew from a seed or at the very least a bouquet of dandelions. By the time Father’s Day rolls around the dandelions are no longer blooming.

Best of all, moms get that cute little song – M is for the many things she gave me O Means only that she’s growing Old. T Is for the Tears she shed to save me, H Is for her Heart of purest gold.

EUM shop to help Women At Risk

GREENVILLE – There is a war raging against women. Rivers of tears run as a hidden gendercide sweeps the globe. At WAR, International, they unveil what’s hidden and reclaim what’s beautiful.

The war has victims disguised as statistics like: *800,000 people illegally trafficked across borders in the 365 days of our year--half are children. * 70% of trafficked women end up as sexual slaves chained to beds of horror. * In the United States, human trafficking is the fastest growing organized crime. *The FBI estimates that 100,000-300,000 children are missing. * 300 children are sold in Atlanta, GA, each month. * Newborn babies are purchased for $25. * Every 15 seconds in one city alone, a girl is brutally circumcised. * Honor killings and acid attacks are disguised as accidents. * Every two to four years, 114-200 million women go demographically missing.

At Women At Risk, International, they know God sees their suffering and weeps. They’re fighting against fourteen high-

risk issues such as slavery, exploitation, disease, and abuse in many different countries. They give voice to those who have been silenced, and a new life to live.

Every missing woman has a story. Through WAR, International, you have the power to help women be rescued from slavery, redeemed by love, restored to circles of protection, empowered to work with dignity, and unveiled. How will you respond?

Finding ways to fit in movement Shopska Salad

Summer can be busy for parents and grandparents and all who spend time attending kids’ sporting events. Driving and bleacher and bench sitting go along with the enjoyment of watching the younger generations put forward their best in activities that help them grow. As a parent, I love watching my children give their all in dance, basketball, running events, and martial arts.

They are moving and it is very easy for me to sit still and watch them move. It is always challenging to find time to move and be active. Work and other regular obligations fill up our day as adults, leaving less time to move more to protect joints, bones, our bodies as a whole. Being creative and finding

ways to fit in movement in unconventional ways becomes even more necessary as we become busier.

When attending a sporting event, walk the perimeter of the event – a soccer field, a baseball diamond.

Park further away from the entrance to ensure more steps are required to get to the entrance and back to

your vehicle. Stand instead of sitting as a spectator.

March in place on occasion to move the muscles in your body. Do heel raises by standing and pointing your toes then lowering your heels back to the ground. Be an example of activity and movement.

Yes, other spectators may see you, and you may inspire someone else to move more. Being bold and ensuring you are taking care of your body is something no one else can do for you.

As a personal trainer, my advice to clients is to never let someone else stop you from doing what you need to do to take care of your own health. There are valid medical reasons to avoid sitting for long periods of time. A 2013 Runner’s World article (“Sit-

ting Is the New Smoking”) reported that more and more research indicates that the more we sit, the more at risk of disease and earlier death we are. Contributing factors are longer commutes in vehicles, more computer technology, video games and TV watching. This higher risk of health problems also affects those who run for an hour a day or take exercises classes because outside of those specific exercise sessions, we tend to be less active as a whole. Look for opportunities to move more for your health. It is good for digestion, for bones and joints, for your muscles, for your heart.

Please consult a medical professional before starting an exercise program.

are minimally processed.

Many foods designated as Òclean, including vegetables and fruits, whole grains, free-range meats, low-fat dairy products, unsalted nuts, and whole seeds, are straight from the farm.

Another component of clean eating is eliminating or greatly reducing the consumption of refined sugar.

Many health experts advise that refined sugar is a large contributor to unnecessary calories. Many people can get all the energy they need by consuming foods with natural sugars.

If an ingredient list includes names you cannot recognize or if the natural form of the food has been changed (i.e. removing the bran from whole grains), it cannot be included in a clean-eating plan. Also,

foods that have a lot of additives, including salt, sugar and fat, are not classified as clean.

Jessica Fanzo, assistant professor of nutrition at Columbia University, advises that not all food processing is bad. Processing is sometimes necessary to prevent pathogens that can lead to illness. For example, pasteurizing milk is a processing method, but one that is necessary to stop the proliferation of bacteria. Even steaming foods is processing in some form, but it is not on par with some of the overly processed foods available.

The benefits to clean eating are numerous. Increasing intake of fruits and vegetables can boost your immune system and serve as a nutritious way to maintain a healthy weight.

Clean eating may help you become more conscious of everything from meal ingredients to portion sizes.

Those interested in clean eating can begin slowly. Start to introduce more fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and farm-fresh foods into your diet. Look for foods in their natural form, such as whole oats and other grains.

Avoid highly refined ingredients and limit sugar and salt intake. Opt for fresh herbs and spices to season food. Over time you can make other changes.

Adopting a clean-eating approach to their diet is a great way for men and women to start living healthy lifestyles. Speak with a doctor or nutritionist about healthy and effective ways to transition to clean eating.

What is clean eating all about?

Clean eating is a growing trend among people focused on health and wellness. A relatively simple concept of selecting foods that are minimally processed, clean eating intends to instill a greater understanding of the pathway between a foodÕs origins and the final products that end up on grocery store shelves and dinner tables.

Choosing whole or “real” foods that are as close to their natural forms as possible is a staple of clean eating. The availability of convenience food products has never been greater, and not all packaged foods are unhealthy.

But clean eating encourages consumers to be more aware of the ingredients in the foods they eat while selecting those foods that

How to avoid unhealthy habits at the office According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, working professionals spend an average of 8.5 hours per day at work.

Many professionals spend much of their time at work sitting down in front of a computer, which can be detrimental to long-term health.

Staying sedentary for long periods of time can contribute to a host of health ailments, including being overweight and obese. But professionals who work in offices can take various steps to ensure all that time at work is not having an adverse affect on their overall health.

• Get out of your seat.

Sweitzer St. Greenville, OH 937-548-1141

Modern workplaces are built around sitting, so workers must find some time to stand up and stretch. Sitting too long can compromise posture and lead to craning of the neck for looking at the computer screen. Get out of your chair, walk around the office and get the blood moving in your body.

• Pack your lunch.

Bringing lunch to work puts you in greater control over the foods you are eating. You can pack a healthy and diverse selection of foods. Don’t forget to also bring some snacks that offer a healthy mix of protein and carbohydrates to keep your energy levels up.

Otherwise, you may succumb to the temptation of the lunchroom snack machine.

• Take frequent breaks.

Stale air inside an office environment can make you feel fatigued and less productive. Also, spending too much time behind your desk may contribute to

feelings of stress and tension. Use every opportunity possible to get up and leave your office. Instead of sending an instant message or making a phone call to a coworker, visit him or her in person. Use your lunch hour to get outside instead of eating at your desk. Plan a brief, mid-afternoon walk outside of your office to clear your mind and get some fresh air.

• Disinfect surfaces often. Oftentimes, when one

person at the office gets sick, many others soon follow. Colds and the flu can spread rapidly in close quarters. Keep your desk drawer stocked with some alcohol swabs or disinfecting spray and routinely clean your keyboard, mouse, touchscreen, and desk surfaces. You also can wipe off door handles and knobs around the office if you want to be proactive.

• Rest your eyes. Close your eyes and look away from the computer monitor every 20 minutes. Focusing on objects of varying distances can help keep the eyes strong and reduce fatigue.

It’s not difficult to remain healthy at work.

Breaks, exercise and watching what you eat can help.

This recipe is a favorite of mine in the summer. A version of this was shared with me by someone from Bulgaria.

3 medium tomatoes, diced 2 medium peppers (green or red), diced 1 large cucumber, diced 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped 4-6 ounces feta cheese Dressing ½ cup olive oil ¼ cup red wine vinegar Salt and pepper to taste Toss the vegetables in a salad bowl. Whisk the dressing ingredients separately in a small bowl. Pour over the vegetables. Add the feta cheese when ready to serve.

Exploring the amazing health benefits of reading It can be hard for some people to pick up a book when there are so many distractions at the ready.

But while books might not be as flashy as the latest must-have gadget, they can provide benefits that might surprise even the most avid readers.

In addition to the intellectual benefits of reading, indulging in a good book can also boost physical health. According to Ken Pugh, PhD, president and director of research at Haskins Laboratories, which is devoted to the science of language, when a person is reading “parts of the brain that have evolved for other functions connect in a specific neural circuit for reading, which is very challenging.” Just like muscles in the body, the brain benefits when it is pushed beyond its normal abilities, and reading is a great way to push those limits.

But the benefits of reading do not stop there.

Reading can help reduce stress, benefitting the body in numerous ways. A 2009 University of Sussex study found that turning to a good book can be an effective relaxation strategy when things become too stressful. Reading fiction can stimulate the imagination and distract a person from the stressors in everyday life. Choosing a humorous or uplifting story can boost mood and help people relax, particularly when reading before bedtime.

Reading also can help men and women get a better night’s rest. People who are accustomed to reading books before going to bed actually train their mind and body for relaxation.

Picking up a book can send signals that it is time to settle down and get ready for sleep. Health experts often recommend developing a sleep routine to people who struggle to fall asleep at night, and reading for 30 minutes before bed each

night can be an integral part of such routines.

Research has shown that reading and engaging the brain in other ways, such as through intellectual games and puzzles, can stave off dementia. These activities stimulate the cells in the brain to grow and connect, increasing the power of brain tissue.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, keeping the mind active through reading can strengthen connections between brain cells and build up brain cell reserves. Mental activity might even generate new brain cells. All of these factors can reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

According to a paper from researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, reading can stimulate the brain to produce more white matter. White matter works together with gray matter and is responsible for sending sensory and motor stimuli to the central nervous system to stimulate a response.

Healthy white matter keeps the central nervous system working effectively and may reduce risk of learning disabilities as well as impaired motor functions.

The educational benefits of reading are widely known. But reading also provides a host of other benefits.

GREENVILLE – On June 16, the former Sterling House/ClareBridge of Greenville welcomed the Darke County Chamber of Commerce and local leaders as it changed its name to Brookdale Greenville. The facility has been part of the community for over 17 years.

According to Shelli Jackson, executive director, the new name reflects the home’s connection with Brookdale senior living family and the large network of services it provides for senior adults.

Jackson pointed out that other than the new sign, there aren’t any major changes that will be noticed by the residents or the community.

The staff remains the same with a few additions. Brookdale Greenville has added a pastry chef and new dining ser-

16 teams compete in inaugural Tri-Village All-Star Tournament DARKE COUNTY – The inaugural Tri-Village Summer Rec All-Star Tournament was held this past weekend with 16 area baseball teams competing in the 2-day elimination-style tournament. The 12u, 10u and 8u all-star teams played in both Palestine and Hollansburg in hopes to be the tournament champion in

their age bracket.

In Palestine, the 12u league consisted of Arcanum, Milton Union, TriVillage and Union City. In Sunday afternoon’s final, Milton Union topped Arcanum by one run to take first place.

Six teams each made up the tournament bracket for both the 10u and 8u leagues.

Ansonia, Arcanum, Franklin Monroe, Milton Union, Tri-Village and Union City battled it out on dual diamonds at the Hollansburg community park.

As the teams were eliminated one-by-one in Sunday’s bracket, the threat of late afternoon rain made the odds of finishing the tournament as sched-

uled slim. Fortunately, the storms stayed to the north of the county allowing the championship games between Franklin Monroe and Milton Union in the 10u and Arcanum taking on Tri-Village in the 8u finish without delay.

Like the 12u game, both games at Hollansburg park were determined by one

run. Milton Union took the crown in the 10u while Arcanum got the title for the 8u league.

“I would like to see the tournament continue every year,” said Tri-Village Summer Rec Commissioner Jason Poling. “After three years of trying we finally had enough teams to host it.”

“It took a lot of work and great people to help make it happen,” he added. “It was a successful weekend with lots of great kids and games so I hope to see everyone back next year!”

Successful Missouri coach takes over UC football program

Greenville’s Wood to play college baseball at Edison

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com PIQUA – 2015 Greenville High School graduate Quinton Wood signed his letter of intent to continue his baseball career with the Edison Community College baseball team located in Piqua and Greenville.

“I’m really excited that I get to keep playing,” said Wood. “I’m going to go for the schooling but I’m also excited to continue my baseball career.”

“Very excited to have Quinton Wood playing baseball for Edison,” said Edison College head baseball coach Dr. Thomas Martinez.

“Wood brings outstanding speed to our outfield as well as tremendous speed on the bases.”

“Quinton Wood… really happy for the kid,” said Greenville head varsity baseball coach Eric Blumenstock. “It is really nice to see the kids moving on and playing college ball. Quinton is an outstanding outfielder with blazing speed and is able to track down a ball in the gaps as well as coming up with diving catches.”

Wood is the son of Sam Wood and Lisa Phillips.

“A player with Quinton’s speed on the bases can cause problems for the opposing pitcher trying to hold him

on,” said Martinez. “Wood can get you a hit in the gaps and turn a single into a double or lay down a bunt… more often than not legging it out for an infield hit.”

Wood was one of three seniors on the 2015 Green Wave varsity baseball team along with starting pitcher Dylan Shumaker and starting catcher Reece Hunt.

“Reece Hunt and Dylan Shumaker, those two teammates were a big part of my career as well as my high school coaches, Coach Blumenstock and Coach (Chris) Ward,” Wood said. “Shumaker would pitch and I would go get the ball.”

The speedy two-year starting Green Wave centerfielder was named first team All-Greater Western Ohio Conference (GWOC) North Division by the league for the 2015 baseball season.

“At the plate Wood is as good as they come at laying down a bunt to move the runner over and more often than not legging it out for a hit,” Blumenstock stated.

“He is almost an automatic steal when he gets on first and not just a steal of second, but often stealing third and an occasional steal of home.”

Wood is currently the starting centerfielder for Greenville Legion Post 140 baseball team.

BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com UNION CITY, Ind. – While accepting applications for the open position of varsity football coach, Union City High School Athletic Director Mike Thornburg was shocked to receive interest from the state of Missouri. After several interviews, the school board approved the hire of Mike Thompson from Lathrop, Missouri as the Indians new head coach for 2015.

“He was head and shoulders above the rest,” Thornburg said about Thompson as one of the coach candidates.

Coach Thompson has 17 years experience as a high school varsity football coach. His team has won two conference titles, one district title and has competed in the state quarterfinals in his career.

In recognition for all his success, Coach Thompson was named the Missouri Sports Class 2 Coach of the Year in 2012.

When Thornburg asked the coach why he wanted to come to Union City of all places, he had two simple answers. First, his oldest son Deryk starts class at Notre Dame University in the fall, so Thompson and his family wanted to be closer to him. Second, Union City is exactly the same size as the school he formerly coached at in Lathrop.

“We are small town people,” Thompson’s wife Kathy told The Early Bird. “We are happy to find a new place to call home and look forward to meeting everyone in the community.”

Parents and players got their first chance to meet Coach Thompson and family during a meet

and greet event Thursday, June 4 at the high school.

Thompson’s youngest son Trevor, who was also at the meeting, will be attending UC as a sophomore and is a three sport athlete, playing football, basketball and track.

Coach Thompson got right to work as he spent his first day in Union City recruiting and talking to the players. According to the coach, good relationships among the team is one major key to having a successful program.

“I would eventually like to see 60-70 kids come out for football each year,” Thompson said. “I want to see the school have to buy some more helmets, pads and uniforms real soon!”

“He is a kid magnet,” Thornburg said about Thompson. “He really relates well to the players and the kids in general.”

In addition to being varsity football coach, Thompson filled the open position as the new Physical Education teacher for the Union City Northside Elementary. He has a degree in P.E. and ran track when he attended Missouri State University.

Coach Thompson will hold a mini-football camp June 23-25 and has scheduled a 5-day camp for the week of July 20. Contact UC Athletic Director Mike Thornburg at 765-964-4840 ext. 122 for camp sign up and more football season information.

“One main goal is to get this team to a state title contender every year,” Thompson said. “Another is to make the players into fine young men once they leave the program.”

Young Lady Wave team keeps finding ways to win

BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – The Greenville #2 7th and 8th grade softball team rallied in the fifth inning to beat the Tri-Village #1 team 9-4 at Stebbins Field Monday evening.

The Lady Wave lost a 2-1 lead as Tri-Village scored two runs in the top of the fifth to go up by one. After another pep talk from head coach Jason Williams, Greenville’s bats finally came to life in the bottom of the inning. Lady Wave 8th grader Alyssa Milligan sparked the offense with the first run batted in of the inning. After a couple more runs crossed the plate Greenville added

four more with an insidethe-park grand slam homer by 8th grade pitcher Caitlyn Christman.

“I told the girls they were gonna have to find it within themselves to battle back and see what they are made of,” Greenville head coach Jason Williams said.

“It must have worked, because that is exactly what they did and how they responded.”

Coach Willliams presented the game ball to first season player, Alyssa Milligan for her standout performance in the comeback victory.

“Shumaker again… he’s clutch,” said Post 140 Coach Dr. Thomas Martinez.

“Twice bases loaded and he gets out the side. Hillsboro has a good heavy stick over there that keeps scoring runs for them and keeps them in the ballgame.”

Cole Wendel (Fort Recovery 2015 First Team MAC) pitched one-hit shutout in the Saturday early game defeating Englewood 8-0 while throwing a 73pitch compete game.

“My location was good,” said the Wright State Lake Campus signee. “Really didn’t have the breaking ball but I hit my spots. I don’t usually throw many pitches.”

A Jordan Dubbs (Arcanum) RBI base hit gave Post 140 a 1-0 lead in the top of the first and took a 4-0 advantage in the top of the third getting RBI singles from Tanner Maples (TriVillage), Austin Baker (Arcanum) and Chantz Martinez (Piqua).

Greenville took a 5-0 fourth-inning lead with a Dubbs RBI single to center before getting three fifthinning runs for a final 8-0

score.

“The kids showed up today to play,” Martinez said.

“They came to play. They did their job. They settled in. They played quality baseball against quality teams.”

2014 Greenville graduate Austin Weimer got the win for Post 140 by a 7-5 score over Beverly/Lowell in game two.

Post 140 used a Wendel RBI to take a 1-0 lead after one-inning of play with Post 389 knotting the score at 1-1 in the top of the third.

Reece Hunt (Greenville) and Dubbs hit back-to-back singles to open the bottom of the third with both runners moving up on a double steal before each scoring on consecutive wild pitches give Post 140 a 3-1 advantage.

Greenville would make it a 6-1 game after four, scoring three runs in the inning after the first two hitters grounded out.

A Wendel walk, a Hunt single to center, a Dubbs RBI single to center, a Bret Caudill RBI single to center and a Dubbs steal of home accounted for the scoring.

Post 140 would make it a 7-1 score in the bottom of the fifth taking advantage of a Martinez RBI bunt single scoring Quinton Wood (Greenville).

Post 389 would add four runs over the final twoinnings before falling 7-5 to Greenville with Post 140 picking up its third consecutive win improving to 8-4 on the season.

“It’s good to get a win against such a good solid club,” said Martinez. “They travel with 30 guys. I have a lot of good solid pitchers I haven’t used yet. Each of my pitcher is a one guy, so we are prepared and we are ready to move on.”

GREENVILLE – The 2015 Lady Wave four-day basketball camp was a big success with 113 campers ranging in age from incoming K through 8th grade in attendance.

“Extremely happy,” said Greenville head varsity girls basketball coach Rachel Kerns. “It was exhausting but a lot of fun this week.”

A staff made up of Lady Wave basketball coaches including 7th grade coach Jeff Martin, 8th grade coach Dave Westfall, freshman coach Steve Liette, junior varsity coach Laura Swigart, varsity assistant Ryan Fiely and 22 high school Lady Wave basketball players were on hand to assist Coach Kerns.

“We had lots of help. At every session we had between 18 and 22 high school girls which says a lot about their dedication to turning this program around,” Kerns said. They were very eager and wanting to help the little kids and that made it a lot of fun for me to watch and see them do that.”

The camp was run with precision as girls were swiftly shuffled from station to station at the sound of the scoreboard buzzer with only an occasional water break halting activities.

“I have to give JV coach Laura Swigart a lot of credit,” said Kerns. We sat down and got things formatted.

It’s just plugging in once the girls get here… spelled out for the high school kids

We try to get every minute out of camp that we can.”

“We just hope we make it fun enough right now that they want to continue to come back and watch games,” continued Kerns.

“I did speak to that middle session that we had… third, fourth and fifth graders about coming to watch some high school games just so they can kinda see that side of it all. We just hope we make it fun enough for them now that they want to come back and do it next year.”

The camp showcased a bright future for Lady Wave basketball.

“Really excited that out of the 113 girls we had at camp, 100 of them are Greenville girls and they

at least had a basketball in their hands for a few hours this week,” said Kerns. “Our junior high is really going to get after it. It’s a real competitive group especially this incoming eighth grade group. Coach Westfall has some talent and he has done a really good job with it.”

The camp held three sessions a day with the incoming 6th – 8th graders meeting in the morning session, incoming 3rd – 5th graders attending in the early afternoon with the K – 2nd graders meeting in the late afternoon session.

Receiving medals in 6th – 8th grade session in the three-on-three were team members Morgan Gilbert, Audrey Heiser, Karrigan Denham, Angelika Myers and Carleigh Cox. Morgan Gilbert, Annie

Hayes, Natea Davidson, Haleigh Mayo, Haley West, Grace Shaffer, Kaijsa Maxwell, Makayla Hess, Libby McKinney and Maycee Ester made up the 5-on-5 6th – 8th grade championship team receiving medals.

As the 2015 came to a close, Coach Kerns huddled with her high school players at center-court to thank them for the help and cooperation, and in unison one word range out throughout the gym and halls… FAMILY. “Always… always bring in the family at the end of the day,” said Kerns. “It’s what we are during the season. Sometimes I think we see more of each other than we actually do of our own families, so we do consider ourselves our own little family.”

Union City spring athletes recognized by TEC tend Indiana University at

BY CLINTON RANDALL Bloomington on a full ride STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com academic scholarship where UNION CITY, Ind. – Two Union City seniors were recognized by the Tri-Eastern Conference (TEC) recently for their performances during the varsity softball season.

Pitcher Michaela Dean was named to the TEC All-Conference Team while Kristen King, who was the team’s strong arm at third base, was given an Honorable Mention by the conference. Both girls were not only teammates, but friends and recently graduated from Union City Community High School with big plans for college.

Though Michaela was offered to play at a Div III college, she elected to at-

she plans to major in prelaw. King will attend IU East in Richmond this fall where she will study Nursing.

“I coached them both since the age of 7 in both youth league and travel ball,” said head coach Michael Dean, who is also Michaela’s father.

According to Coach Dean, both ladies finished their high school softball career breaking numerous school records and were all-time leaders in several categories. Combined, they have been All-Conference and All-County twice in their four years at UC and earned a total of seven varsity letters in softball.

“I am just so proud of

Puthoff named Poultry Days’ Miss Chick 2015 BOB ROBINSON

ASSOCIATE EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

VERSAILLES – “I’ve always wanted to do this,” said Miss Chick 2015, Christa Puthoff. Her goal is to be a role model to young girls through community service and volunteering with Poultry Days and other events.

Is it tough doing this?

“You definitely have to step outside your comfort zone,” she noted. “I guess you just don’t worry about anything… just have fun.”

It worked. On June 13, the Versailles resident was crowned Miss Chick 2015 to represent the Versailles Poultry Days for the next year. She is the daughter of Steve and Marlene Puthoff and was sponsored by St. Denis Youth Ministry.

Chosen for her court were First Runner-Up Tay-

lor Stover of Versailles and Second Runner-Up Rachel Osterloh of Versailles. Stover is the daughter of Eric and Julie Stover and was sponsored by Pohl Transportation. Osterloh is the daughter of Luke and Sharon Osterloh and was sponsored by the Versailles FFA. Stover and Osterloh agreed with Miss Chick…

“Yes,” said Stover. “I think it takes guts to stand out here in front people, but it’s a lot of fun. The judges are nice; they help us stay calm.” She wants to be a role model to everyone… “If you can be yourself, that goes a long way,” she added.

Osterloh hopes to promote Poultry Days from the perspective of her poultry background. “I live on a poultry farm; I know the benefits and can promote them in a positive way.”

Ten young women vied

for the title of Miss Chick.

They went through a personal interview on Friday afternoon and participated in the parade Saturday morning. On Saturday afternoon they were introduced to a crowded gymnasium in the old high school.

“I’m glad I don’t have to judge these young women,” Master of Ceremonies Keith Rawlins said. “Not only are they beautiful, they’re smart, too.” Noting the heat in the gym, he added “There’s one back there using a dust pan to fan herself.”

Each contestant was asked two questions; one personal and one requiring their thoughts or opinions.

The questions were drawn on slips of paper, then read

by Rawlins.

Puthoff is a recent graduate of Versailles High

School and taking nursing at the University of Findlay. Her favorite family tradition is a “sweet” breakfast at Christmas.

Her second question asked her thoughts about women working at the same jobs being paid less than men. “What does that say about our society,” she said. “Shocking. We’re supposed to be modern.” She noted, however, the pay could depend on the work they did… but if the efforts and work are the same, the pay should be the same.

Also vying for the title were Morgan Turpen, Versailles, Shayla Bertke, Osgood, Megan Marchal, New Weston, Lauren Monnin, Versailles, Meladi Brewer, Yorkshire, Malinda Barlage, Versailles and Abbey Marshal, Versailles.

Broerman crowned Little Miss Poultry Days 2015 BOB ROBINSON

ASSOCIATE EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

VERSAILLES – He’s been doing it for 26 years… after Ken DeMange was, once again, introduced as the Master of Ceremonies for the 31st Annual Little Miss Poultry Days Contest, he said, “I was wondering if I’d ever interview the daughter of a candidate I interviewed in the past. It’s happened now, once or twice… time to retire.”

Except he was having too much fun. On June 12 DeMange talked with each of 24 young ladies vying for the title of Little Miss Poultry

Days prior to the start of the contest. He introduced them to the judges and to a packed crowd in the old Versailles High School gym… then he announced the winners.

Two were in the Little Miss Court… one, Rhylan Broerman, was crowned Little Miss Poultry Days for 2015. Six-year-old Rhylan is the daughter of Nick and Amber Broerman. She is from Yorkshire. First Runner-Up is Averi Ahrns, 4, of Yorkshire. She is the daughter of Kevin and Sarah Selhorst. Second RunnerUp is Caleigh Stebbins, 5, of Greenville. Her parents are Jason and Mindy Stebbins.

Contestants were lim-

ited to ages four through six and their personalities were as different as their names.

Some were cautious; others approached DeMange with a bounce in their steps. Some were a little difficult to hear and shy. Others were outgoing and could be heard in all corners of the gym… then there’s the young lady who took the mike out of DeMange’s hand and said she likes running because she has “blue fast shoes.”

Another candidate’s favorite sport is swimming because she likes to get wet.

While most candidates’ dresses were made by mom, grandma or an aunt, Averi got her dress from the mail

box. Another complained “mommy made me put on these pants and look like an old man.” All costumes either had the “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” or “Poultry Days” flavor.

Candidates included Callie Schmitmeyer, Madelyn Roscoe, Corynn Goubeaux, Rowan Schmitmeyer, Kyra Bergman, Lexi Timmerman, Macy Rae Smith, Kenszie Glass, Lydia Ward, Maggie DeLand, Brooke Keiser, Lillian Selhorst, Ava Rismiller, Jaelyn Hecht, Gwendolyn Schneible, Ragan Saylor, Gabrielle Nelson, Juliet Ahrens, Lillian Dirksen, Alaina Branham and Skylyn Bradley.

Annual Color Blaze 5K held at Darke County Fairgrounds GREENVILLE - Approximately 300 took part in the annual Color Blaze 5K June 14 at the Darke County Fairgrounds in Greenville.

The Color Blaze is a unique 5K race focused on fun, family and entertainment and is not com-

petitive. Participants are encouraged to wear as much white as possible so when they are covered with waves of color it transforms them into a tiedye work of art.

GREENVILLE – “We’re encouraging every business in the county to participate,” Darke County Chamber of Commerce President Sharon Deschambeau told Kiwanis of Greenville members and guests Jun 17. The Darke County Chamber, along with four other counties and regions, has launched a new Wage & Benefits Survey for the Western Ohio region.

This is a collaborative effort, she told the group.

Along with Darke County it includes Celina-Mercer, Preble, and Southwestern Auglaize counties, plus Wapakoneta Area chambers.

It deals with wages and benefits such as health care insurance, vacation, sick days, short- and long-term disability, life and disability insurance, plus drug testing, background checks and more.

“This information is important in becoming or remaining competitive locally,” she said. “It will help employers attract and retain the employee base they need.” She added the Miami Valley chambers have been doing a similar survey since 2007. Deschambeau also noted Darke County’s low unemployment rate is requiring many employers to revisit their employee offerings to remain competitive.

Early Bird/Bluebag Media Publisher Keith Foutz said he intends to participate in the survey. “Wage

and benefit surveys that are localized can be a great tool to have at your disposal, not only from a prospective standpoint but a retention one as well,” he said.

Deschambeau told Kiwanians this was a project developed by the Chamber’s Human Resources Council.

“They started working on it in January… you can bet all 26 members will be participating in the survey.”

She added all completed forms are confidential and will not be identified in the results. “If too few respondents to certain questions make potential identification of the business possible, the information will not be used,” she said.

The survey closes on Aug. 11. Results should be available in late August to aid businesses with their strategic planning.

Foutz commented on the value of quick availability of the information. “Using this tool will be – or should be – an essential part of their (a business’s) strategy and budgeting sessions,” he said. Deschambeau said the results will be available at no cost to participants, nonparticipating members for $50 and non-participating non-members for $100.

While Foutz was in strong support of the survey, he said an organization’s retention tools include more than pay and benefits…

“I’ve always found,” he said, “one of the greatest retention tools is the culture that exists within our individual operations.”

Poultry Days announces record chicken sales BOB ROBINSON

VERSAILLES – “I’m just so glad it’s not raining today,” said announcer Ken DeMange. It was just prior to 11 a.m. June 13 and the annual Versailles Poultry Days Parade was about to start. Along the parade route there were familiar faces… families arriving early every year to take ownership of their favorite spots.

The temperature was already climbing into the 80s and there wasn’t a cloud in sight.

The day before two thunderstorms played havoc with the events at the old Versailles High School grounds; rides had to be temporarily closed down. It was 20 degrees cooler.

The traditional hour-long parade featured marching bands, businesses, service groups, dignitaries, first responders, military units, tractors and the ten young

ladies who would be competing that afternoon for Miss Chick 2015. There were 132 parade entries, according to a Poultry Days volunteer the largest number he could remember. Hundreds of children lined the streets waiting for candy to be tossed in their direction.

A reported record 25,200 chickens were sold over the weekend. Meals ran out by 7 p.m. Friday and again before the weekend closed on Sunday. Visitors to the 63rd Annual Poultry Days were treated to chicken if they got in line soon enough, beer, rides and games for the kids, fair food, bingo and more.

The Versailles Band Boosters posted on the Poultry Days Facebook page… only 365 more days until you can taste that “World famous Poultry Days chicken” again. One Facebook follower noted he had one chicken dinner left, but then would have to wait another 360 plus days before he could get another.
