Marling Band Shell dedication and concert draws a crowd SUSAN HARTLEY
STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – Declaring “this is what community is all about.” Greenville City Park Board President Dale Musser welcomed hundreds – more than 900 - to Sunday’s dedication of the city’s brand new Marling Band Shell. Musser thanked current and past park board members for their efforts in securing a $150,000 Federal Land and Water grant from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. He also thanked city officials who approved a matching loan. “Without their help we wouldn’t have gotten the money raised to build the band shell,” he said. City officials, Musser said, then challenged the park board to raise the funds in order to pay back
the loan. With community support from several individuals, businesses and organizations, the park board raised nearly $190,000, Musser said. Also speaking during Sunday’s dedication were former Greenville City Mayor Mike Bowers, current Mayor Steve Willman, former State Representative Jim Buchy, and Director of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Jim Zehringer. Bowers gave a brief history of the band shell project, which started about 10 years ago. “As mayor, we were looking hard at the (former) band shell. It was looking a little rough. How can we look at improving the home for the state’s oldest municipal band?” Bowers called the Greenville Municipal Concert Band’s Sunday night concerts “a great
tradition. The mainstay of Sunday evening is the concerts the municipal band puts on. My hat goes off to the current and former members” of the park board, Bowers said. Willman also thanked community members who supported the project. “We are blessed that we have people from our past, from generations ago, that gave is this place,” Willman said. Buchy shared how he had family members who had been members of the community band, saying he “was very proud” of that part of his family history and to be part of Greenville and Darke County. “Tonight, we gather to celebrate what we’re going to pass on to future generations,” he said. During his remarks, Zehringer explained how ODNR’s Federal Land

and Water grant is to be used to promote outdoor activities, also thanking those who contributed to match the grant funds. “This takes a lot of community support and they always get that from Greenville and Darke County,” said Zehringer,

Council to approve new parking policy for Sidewalk Sales SUSAN HARTLEY
STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – Greenville City Council heard a recommendation from the Safety Committee on Tuesday concerning lifting parking restrictions in the downtown business district for Sidewalk Sales during Annie Oakley Days, July 26-29. Council President John Burkett asked for the new parking legislation to be prepared for an emergen-
cy vote by council’s next regular meeting on July 17. Also Tuesday, Safety/ Service Director Curt Garrison gave a report about his recent meetings with Greenville City School officials concerning the proposed Downtown Redevelopment Districts (DRDs). Garrison said one purpose for meeting with school officials was to “see if they would entertain making the DRD a 30year.” For years 1-10 of a
DRD, he said, the city is only required to notify the school board of the proposal. Years 11-30 require the approval of the school district. Garrison said he presented council’s recommendation to Superintendent Doug Fries and school board members – to split DRD revenue 50/50 between the city and the school district for years 11-30. School officials counter-offered, suggesting 75 percent for the school and
25 percent for the city. Following a brief discussion, Garrison said he proposed council “enact a proposal for years 1-10” and explained provisions were in place allowing DRDs to be extended at a later date. Councilman Leon Rogers said he believed “1 through 10 is sufficient” with Councilwoman Dorie Howdieshell agreeing. “Thirty years just seems like too long,” she said. Burkett suggested the city’s consultants go
ahead with preparing a DRD proposal for a 10year duration. Council will also be scheduling public hearings for those seeking
additional information on the DRD proposals. Council’s next meeting will be 7:30 p.m. July 17 at the city building.

The officer placed the 14-year- old in the police cruiser and asked dispatch to contact his father in reference to this incident and a curfew violation. The father could not be reached by phone so the officer requested another officer go to his residence. Contact was made with the father and he was advised he need to go to Kroger and pick up his son. The teen was issued a summons for the curfew violation and released to his father. SUSPICIOUS PERSON

description at the corner of Martin and Anderson. The subject, Kevin Nickson, was very fidgety and acting extremely nervous. According to the report, his behavior seemed consistent with meth use. At first, Nickson refused to identify who he was. While talking further with Nickson he started to cry and indicated that he had just been in an argument with his girlfriend. Nickson was pacing around and told the officer he could not keep going back to jail over and over again. The officer was still trying to identify Nickson when two other officers showed up on scene. As they exited their patrol car, Nickson looked around and took off running across Martin Street, taking his backpack off and throwing it on the ground. The officers apprehended Nickson between two homes on Martin Street. He was handcuffed and detained in the cruiser. One of the of of-

Two receive community control sanctions BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – Dylan Julian of Ithaca will serve 60 months of community control sanctions following his sentencing hearing held Monday, July 2 in Darke County Common Pleas Court. Julian, 24, was originally charged with possession of drugs, a fifth-degree felony. According to Julian’s attorney, Jay Lopez, his client is currently in the seventh week of a 12-week sobriety program and has maintained employment. Julian told Judge Jonathan P. Hein being charged with possession was “a wake-up call” and that he was doing everything he knew to do to stay away from people who have influenced him in the past. Hein urged Julian to continue to maintain positive family relationships and role models, adding he wasn’t going to add ad-
ditional jail time now, but if Julian fails to comply with community control he could be facing nine months of incarceration. Also Monday, Hein awarded early judicial release to Rickey Elson of Greenville. Elson, 60, appeared before Hein from the Madison Correctional Institution via video conference. Elson was sentenced to a nine-months prison term on May 15 after pleading guilty in March to a driving under the influence charge stemming from last fall. Elson served the mandatory 60 days to be considered for early release. Elson told Hein he “appreciates the opportunity to get back out to get on with my recovery” efforts. “That was the purpose of prison,” Hein said, telling Elson he “sent you there to motivate you.” Hein placed Elson on 60 months of community control sanctions.

On June 26 an officer was called to the 1300 block of North Chippewa Drive. Upon officer’s arrival, two officers located suspect Jeff Brickler. Brickler said he had been in a verbal altercation with his ex- girlfriend and after the verbal altercation he began to pack his belongings. A dispute then occurred over
tobacco. Brickler left the residence and was waiting outside of the residence for a ride. While waiting, Brickler stated he was using his pocket knife to clean his fingernails. While waiting, two of the complainant’s sons approached him from both sides. At that time the two sons ran back into the house yelling Brickler had a knife. The complainant also told the officer she and Brickler had been in a verbal altercation earlier in the day and Brickler began packing his belongings. While Brickler was packing the complainant said she observed items she had purchased in his bag and began to pull the items out. At that time Brickler grabbed her and she called to her sons for help. One of the sons escorted Brickler out of the residence and locked the door. After a few minutes the complainant received a call that Brickler was by her vehicle. One of the sons went outside, locked the car and went to speak with Brickler who had moved to the side of the apartment building. While Davidson approached from the east side of the building the complainant and her other son approached from the west side. When Brickler saw one of the sons, he pulled out his knife and began to chase after him. The son, fearing Brickler would cause him harm, ran to the back door of the residence. The complainant and her other son ran in through the front door. After getting inside they called police. Brickler’s knife was taken as evidence and he was issued a citation for aggravated menacing. Brickler was also warned for trespass and harassment.

Help Protect Vulnerable Family Members from Scam Artists
If you have older family members whose cognitive functions or decision-making abilities have declined, or who are lonely or recently widowed, you might need to help protect them against financial scams. What steps should you take? First of all, try to gain a good sense of their overall financial activity. Look for red flags, such as a reluctance to discuss money matters, consistently unpaid bills, unexplained withdrawals, mysterious wire transfers or a sudden need to purchase large quantities of gift cards. And watch out for new “best friends” or caretakers who show an unusual interest in your loved one’s finances. Whether or not you’ve observed any of these activities, you can help your elderly family members by making these moves: • Have checks (such as Social Security payments) directly deposited. You can help your family members avoid a lot of potential trouble by having their checks deposited directly into their bank accounts. • Seek permission to become a joint account owner. By becoming a joint account owner on your elderly family members’ checking and savings accounts, you can review statements for suspicious activity. Of course, your loved ones may be initially reluctant to add your name, but if you have a good relationship with them, you should be able to explain the benefits. • Shred bank statements, credit card offers and notices of lottery or sweepstakes winnings. One of the most useful gifts you can give to your elderly family members may be a shredder. Encourage them to use it to shred old bank statements, credit card offers and other financial documents. • Get on a “do not call” list. Telephone scammers are persistent and
devious. By registering your family members’ house and cell phones at www.donotcall.gov, you may be able to reduce their exposure to unwanted calls. • Obtain power of attorney. By creating a power of attorney, your loved ones can designate you or another trusted relative or friend to assist with their finances now – for day-today assistance and protection from scammers – and later, should they become incapacitated. Again, you will need to employ some sensitivity when discussing this issue. • Check references of caretakers. As mentioned above, some caretakers are, unfortunately, dishonest. Before you hire one, check out this person’s references. And even when you do, be careful – scam artists have been known to use accomplices as references, so you will need to be thorough in your research and questions. • Get to know your family members’ financial advisors. If possible, become acquainted with your older family members’ financial advisors. Any reputable advisor will welcome a connection with their clients’ loved ones. And if you are involved in any estate plans, this multi-generational relationship will prove beneficial for everyone. • Ask to meet any new “friends” they have met online. When someone is lonely, they become vulnerable to online friendships. Sometimes, these new friends make promises of meeting, but never show – and then they suddenly need money for one reason or another. It can be challenging to guard against all threats posed by the scammers of the world. But by staying alert and taking the appropriate preventive actions, you may be able to help safeguard your loved ones’ financial security.

Farm on Fourth to celebrate local agriculture GREENVILLE - Darke County Farm Bureau has been bringing people together for nearly 100 years and believes in opportunities for the next generation. Therefore, Darke County Farm Bureau and Main Street Greenville are proud to be collaborating to host a farm to table dinner in order to highlight independently owned businesses, draw attention to the importance of local farms, and promote the burgeoning agri-tourism industry in our county. Agriculture is Ohio’s largest industry, and over the last few years we’ve seen an increase in public interest regarding food production. Individuals are hoping for education about the agricultural economy and to have greater knowledge about where their food comes from and how it is prepared. It is with these goals in mind that we plan to host a locally sourced and prepared dinner which will feature local farmers and independent business owners. All net proceeds will benefit local 4-H and FFA Chapters. The dinner is set to take place on Friday, Aug. 10, from 6-9 p.m. on the Greenville Public Library Lawn and will be called Farm on Fourth. “We are very excited to be partnering with Darke County Farm Bureau for Farm on Fourth,” said Main Street Greenville Executive Director Crysta Hutchinson. “The collaboration of our organizations provides a great opportunity to both highlight independently owned local businesses and bring food producers and consumers together.” The food ingredients for the dinner will be sourced from farms in Darke or surrounding counties and the three course meal will be prepared by chefs and restaurateurs from downtown Greenville. The Merchant House will prepare the salad and entree, and desserts will

Homeowners reminded to report improvement projects DARKE COUNTY Owners of new construction, remodeling, or any other building improvements such as heating and plumbing systems, central air conditioning, or building under construction in Darke County, are reminded by the County Auditor Carol Ginn, that it is their duty to report such construction. According to section 5713.17 O.R.C., any person who constructs any building (this includes all agricultural buildings) or other improvements costing more that $2,000 upon any lot or land within a township or municipal corporation not having a system of building regulation and inspection, (this includes agricultural and residential areas), shall notify the county auditor of the county, which such land or lot is located, that the building or improvement has been completed or is in the process of construction. The notice shall be in writing, shall contain an estimate of the cost, shall describe the lot or land,
shall provide the owner’s name, and shall be served upon the county auditor no later than 60 days after construction of the building or improvement has commenced. This is necessary so the county auditor may determine the value and location of the new structures. Upon the discovery of a building or improvement that has been constructed, but of which the county auditor has not been notiďŹ ed as required by section 5713.17 O.R.C., the county auditor shall appraise it and place it upon the tax list and duplicate, at its taxable value, together with penalty equal to 50 percent of the amount of taxes that would have been charged against the building or improvement from the date of construction to the date of discovery. For additional information, contact the Darke County Auditor’s OfďŹ ce in the courthouse, at (937) 547-7317 or 547-7316. OfďŹ ce hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except holidays.
Bill would modernize Notary Public service COLUMBUS - State Senators Matt Huffman (R-Lima) and Steve Wilson (R-Maineville) recently announced the unanimous Senate passage of the “Notary Public Modernization Actâ€? which will take a number of steps to update and enhance the notary public system in Ohio. For the ďŹ rst time, Ohioans will also be able to get their documents notarized by connecting with a commissioned Ohio notary online, rather than face-to-face, utilizing live audio-video communications technology. “This legislation helps to make Ohio a leader in modernizing notary laws,â€? said Huffman. “It is time we streamline this process, creating long overdue uniformity across the state of Ohio.â€? In addition to providing Ohioans with a new method for getting their documents notarized, the bill also provides for certain consumer protections
to ensure the authenticity of electronic signatures and online notarial acts. Other provisions of the bill would update and standardize Ohio’s antiquated system for commissioning notaries public by consolidating the process under the sole authority of the Secretary of State’s ofďŹ ce. Ohio’s current commissioning process lacks consistency and efďŹ ciency due to a complex web of state and local involvement that varies county by county, resulting in 88 different processes by which a person can become a notary public. Under the bill, all applications and fees would now be uniform across the state and sent directly to the Secretary of State’s ofďŹ ce for processing. Applicants would also be required to submit a BCI background check, participate in an approved training course and pass an assessment.

LOGAN COUNTY - Logan County Auditor Michael E. Yoder has announced his plan to resign from ofďŹ ce effective June 30, 2018. Yoder based his decision in part on the growing systemic inequity in the treatment of each real property taxpayer, making it increasingly difďŹ cult to perform his statutory duties as assessor. A recent decision of the Ohio Supreme Court, in the case of Notestine Manor v. Logan County Board of Revision, conďŹ rmed a rere duction in the value on the Notestine Manor property, a Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) project, to $75,000 for tax year 2013 from the auditor’s value of $811,120, necessitating a refund of taxes which mounted into tens of thousands of dollars, most of which came from the Bellefontaine City School District. One of the primary responsibilities of a county auditor is that of chief assessor. In that role, the auditor is responsible for establishing a taxable value for every parcel of real property in the county; this value is used to determine the amount of taxes levied against the parcel. It is therefore of the utmost importance that this value be “fair and equitableâ€? for every parcel. This is the guiding principle of assessors and tax administrators across the country. Due to the interconnected nature of Ohio’s system of real property taxation, the increase or decrease of one parcel of real property impacts every other parcel. Decreasing the valuation

and subsequent tax owed on one parcel will increase the tax burden on all other parcels. According to Yoder, “During my tenure as auditor, I have gone to great lengths to ensure that each taxpayer of Logan County was treated fairly and equitably. This was my pledge. Unfortunately, it has become increasingly difďŹ cult to maintain this fair and equitable treatment given recent developments in the Ohio courts. Of particular concern is that Notestine Manor case arising here in Logan County.â€? In July 2012, Notestine Manor purchased a vacant piece of land for $145,000.00. The building was then constructed at a cost of approximately $1.5 million dollars which included a federal capital advance of $1.3 million. The low value is due to the property being part of the HUD Section 202 program which provides rent subsidized by the Federal Government. There are many subsidized low-income housing properties throughout the State of Ohio, most of them valued considerably lower than fair market value. Notestine Manor was built with federal tax dollars that never need to be repaid by the owners. They now have an extremely low valuation which signiďŹ cantly reduces their local property taxes. These taxes help pay for schools, police, ďŹ re, emergency medical services and paved streets, to name a few. & " "! $ $!

Yoder remarked, “Since becoming Logan County Auditor in 1995, I have become disheartened with the direction the courts have taken on uniform and equitable real property valuations and the inability of the Ohio General Assembly to make necessary statutory changes. I can no longer carry out my statutory responsibilities as Logan County Auditor. It is my hope the citizens of Ohio will contact their State Representative and Senator so fairness can be returned to the valuation processâ€?. Darke County Auditor, Carol Ginn, says that this phenomenon is also occurring in this county. The most recent case was the Woda Wayne Crossing Limited Partnership, aka Wycliff Courts Apartments, in the Greenville City area. The county’s appraisal ďŹ rm had the market values set on the apartment complex at $1,617,900 in 2006. The owners appealed the local
Board of Revision’s decision of no change to the Ohio Board of Tax Appeals (BTA). The BTA ordered the apartment complex to be valued at $1,248,000. Since 2005, Wayne Crossing Limited Partnership has ďŹ led with the BTA on three separate occasions. This has resulted in a reduction of their taxable value to $475,000. This value would be roughly $18 per square foot, or the value of most manure/compost building currently in the county. This has also generated a total refund to Wayne Crossing of $72,905.50 for real estate taxes.This has mostly affected Greenville City School District, but also various taxing authorities. Both Yoder and Ginn are in hopes the citizens of Ohio will contact their State Representative and Senator so fairness can be returned to the valuation process. ~ Submitted by the Darke County Auditor’s OfďŹ ce

Dean to lead Arcanum Lady Trojans basketball program GAYLEN BLOSSER
SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com
ARCANUM – The Arcanum Lady Trojans basketball program will have a new head varsity coach for the 2018-19 season when Michael Dean steps on the court. Dean, a 1992 graduate of National Trail, played baseball, basketball and football for the Blazers in his only season at the Preble County School having attended Richmond, Indiana schools prior to his senior season. Dean played baseball for Richmond American Legion Post 65 and the Legion team in Union County, IN. Coach Dean brings a wealth of coaching experience to Arcanum having coached at Union City (IN), Richmond (IN), Mississinawa-Valley and most recently as the Ansonia assistant varsity girls basketball coach. Dean grew up in a sports family where his father, the late Bill Dean is enshrined in the Indi-
ana High School Wrestling and Football Hall of Fames. Dean’s father had coaching stops in Centerville (IN) coaching baseball and wrestling, Blanchester (OH) as the football coach, both Dixie (OH) and Meadowdale (OH) coaching football and baseball and coaching at Anderson (IN) Madison Heights. “One of the biggest regrets I have,” said Dean, “I only got to coach one year with my father at Anderson Madison Heights football – and that was a great privilege.” Dean’s father died suddenly in a car wreck in 1993 while traveling home from coaching an Anderson baseball game. “He was a great coach and I could never fill those shoes,” Dean stated, “He cast a long shadow.” “It was amazing all the players he had coached through the years came to the viewing and the funeral,” noted Dean. “At that point is when I really knew my father. I realized who he was – he was
always my dad and he was a great coach.” Coach Bill Dean served a tour in Vietnam with the 82nd Airborne Division. “My father was a big advocate for clean living,” said Dean. “He never smoked and never drank. He was a tough bird but he was good to me and my younger brother, Cameron.” Dean understands the sports tradition at Arcanum and is please to be tabbed to lead the Lady Trojans basketball program. “Arcanum has a great tradition in all sports,” Dean said. “That is what attracted me. The community support, the school’s support. The way the kids work hard, the work ethics.” “That’s exciting,” Dean said of just one senior graduating from last year’s Lady Trojans basketball team. “It’s a young group. Even after this year it’s a young group. When you look at the talent that is coming into the high school from
the junior high programs; it’s phenomenal.” Coach Dean is very familiar with the Cross County Conference (CCC) having played there and coached at several stops in the league. “I’m excited – looking forward to the CCC,” Dean said. “I know who’s who as far as girls basketball. Tri-Village has a wonderful program. They reload year after year. I have a lot of respect for that because it’s not just about talent flowing in. Brad (Gray) knows how to build a program.” “You have Miami East the same way,” continued Dean. “Just like Arcanum, a long history of success and tradition. You are always going to have talent come through these schools and if you get the right coach in place, that might turn them into the next Tri-Village, the next Miami East and Covington as a powerhouse.” “I don’t want to create the best athletes, I want to create the best human beings,” said Dean. “Athletics is just part of that.”

“Athletics teaches them how to overcome struggles, how to overcome adversity rather than run away from it or turn away from it and all the other values of teamwork,” concluded Dean. “The other values like humility are just as important. If you are going to be a good coach you have
to instill all those values across the board.” Coach Dean and his wife Dusty are the parents of three daughters; Malea entering the eighth grade at Union City (IN) and Peyton and Michaela where both are on academic scholarships at Ball State University.

World’s best compete at 58th Annual Ringer Classic BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – The 58th Annual Ringer Classic hosted many of the world’s best horseshoe pitchers on the courts in the Greenville city park this past weekend. Alan Francis, a 22 time World Champion and reigning World Champion horseshoe pitcher earned first place in the men’s Class ‘A’ Ringer Classic division. The Defiance, Ohio native was dominant with an 89.65 winning percent, far outpacing second place finisher Gary Roberts with 64.17 percent. Known as the Horseshoe Pitching Capitol of The World, Greenville’s Ringer Classic is known as a warmup for the NHPA (National Horseshoe Pitchers Association) World Championships that will be held July 9-21 at Florence, South Carolina.
Glen E. Hoppes, a 94 year old from Gas City, IN made his way to the Treaty City to compete in the local World Class tournament. “I pitched horseshoe when I was 13 years old out on the farm,” said Hoppes. “Been pitching years and years.” “I’ve been coming to Greenville for years and years – great community,” Hoppes added. “I laid out for three years and came back. I lost my wife. She was with me every horseshoe tournament.” Hoppes was already in his 50s when the NHPA was formed in the early 90s and has concerns where the sport is headed. “Nobody coming up,” noted Hoppes. “Technology, computers, phones killed it. Many young kids now sit around and work their thumbs.” Hoppes still enjoys pitching horseshoes while keeping up with old friends at horseshoe tournaments.

“That’s why I am here,” chuckled Hoppes. “I know that I can’t beat anybody – but I’ll be here.” Sherrill Hambel took first place in the Women’s Class ‘A’ Ringer Classic division, a first for the Sterling, OH native. “I’ve been coming to Greenville for years,” said Hambel. “I really like coming here.

Greenville Post 140 gets comeback win over Muncie Legion GAYLEN BLOSSER
SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – American Legion Post 140 defeated Muncie Legion Post 19 by a 7-6 score after trailing 2-0 early to the Indiana team. “That is a tough team,” Greenville Post 140 Chad Henry said of the Muncie team. “They hit the ball well, they field it well and they pitch well.” Greenville bounced back in the bottom of the second to put three runs on the board taking advantage of a leadoff Tyler Beyke single, an Alec Fletcher walk and an 2-run double off the bat of Zac Longfellow. Kane Kimmel gave Post 140 its first lead of the night with an RBI single to left sending the teams
to third-inning play with Greenville holding a 3-2 lead. Kyle Mills had Muncie going down in order in the top of the third behind solid defense from Post 140. Greenville tacked on three runs in the bottom of the third to lead 6-2, getting an opening Peyton Miller single, a Fletcher walk and a run scoring Longfellow single. Kimmel knocked a two-out RBI single to left and an RBI double off the bat of Brandon Beyke to give the home team a fourrun lead. Muncie Post 19 took advantage of four walks, a hit batsman and two timely singles to plate four runs in the top of the fourth and make it a 6-6 game. Post 140 Coach Henry summoned Tyler Beyke from his shortstop position to the mound to close-

out the game, tossing the final three and two-thirds innings, holding the visitors to one hit while striking out two. “Tyler (Beyke) came in and really locked them down,” said Coach Henry. “Pitched 3.2 and gave up
one hit. We don’t use him a lot because we lose a lot when we take him out of shortstop – he’s that good. He just beat around the zone and had everything working.” Greenville used a twoout Tyler Beyke single, a
Fletcher walk and a smash off the bat of Longfellow going for an error sending Beyke home with the goahead run. Greenville Legion played error free ball while outhitting Muncie 10-6 to earn the win. Muncie committed one error on the night resulting in the Post 140 winning unearned run. Longfellow went 2-3 with a single and double, 3-RBIs and 2-runs scored. Kimmel was 2-2 with a walk, 2-RBIs and a run scored. Brandon Beyke went 3-4 with two singles, a double and an RBI. Tyler Beyke was 2-4 with 2-runs scored, Miller had a single and a run scored and Fletcher had three walks and 2-runs scored for Post 140. “They came out and we battled,” Henry said fol-
lowing the game. “We had a good lineup tonight. We came in – we kept answering and finally pulled away at the end.” Greenville Post 140 has nine games over a six-day stretch with the first five games at home beginning Saturday, July 7th. “We have a bunch coming,” noted Henry. “Richmond is coming for two on Saturday, Van Wert two on Sunday, defending state champions come Monday with Napoleon here and then we go to the Gem City Throwbacks Tuesday and Napoleon Wednesday. We have a full load and then we have Sidney with two league games Thursday leading up to the (Legion) tournament on July 14th.
Masters shares years of coaching experience BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – Larry Masters took time to talk football after a long and successful high school coaching career, including 25 years leading the Matt Light AllConference Football Camp at Greenville. “Ed Domsitz said a long time ago – I’m not going to guarantee you we’ll win if you go to the weight room but I’ll guarantee you we will get beat if you don’t and that’s if you want to get beat, or do you want a chance to win,” said Masters. “If you want a chance to win you better get in that weight room.” Masters, an Indiana native came to Greenville in 1978 where he served as an assistant football coach one season for Randy Reed and then was an assistant to Doug Miller for five years. Masters next spent five years as the head football coach for the Green Wave followed with a five year run at the helm of the Arcanum football program. Masters stepped away from head coaching to join veteran coach Ed Domsitz at Northmont for four years and spent his last 10 years of high school coaching at Alter High school coaching
with Domsitz. “I was defensive coordinator, line-backer’s coach and defensive coordinator,” Masters said of his time with Domsitz.” I really enjoyed working with him.” Having served as a head coach at two stops along the way as well as filling the role of an assistant coach, Masters has the experience to share thoughts about both. “Everything,” Masters said of the difference. “This is why I joined Domsitz. I don’t want to deal with administration, support groups and parents. I just love coaching and I just wanted to coach and that is what I did. I was strictly a coach the last 10 years.” “Head coaching is tough at any level,” stated Masters. “You know it’s the old saying; ‘probably receive too much credit when they win and too much blame when they lose,’ – and that’s the truth.” Coach Masters responded with a smiled when asked if he was a ‘throwback’ to the old style of coaching and discipline. “There are definitely some changes and there are some certain things about football I think are always going to remain the same,” said Masters. “It’s never going to be easy if you do it

right. It takes a lot of effort, a lot of dedication, a lot of discipline to play this game. My argument if people don’t like that is – this is what is going to get you through the rest of your life.” “You can count on falling back on the lessons learned,” continued Masters. “Maybe getting chewed out, getting hurt, things not going your way and not giving up because you and I both know life is not going to be an easy road. There are going to be some rough seas out there and I just think you learn that from this game.” “The other thing I love about it and I think most coaches and former players will tell you; the relationships, the friendships you
build are lifetime,” Masters added. “I would guess you always remember your high school days.” Coach Masters shared his thoughts as to what parents can do to make local sports programs better. “Support always helps and if things don’t go right for the parents – not all, because there are some really good people out there and they get it, but there are some who don’t and if things don’t always go their way they try to get it to go their way,” stated Masters. “The kid is maybe not getting enough playing time, maybe feel like they’re not getting treated fairly, but we’ve had jobs, we’ve worked for people, it’s not always a bed of roses. We maybe do get treated differently but you learn to handle it.” “What do you do if things don’t go your way – you just got to suck it up,” stressed Masters. “Do better if you can and keep pushing.” Coach Masters encourages young people to get involved with sports and being an ‘old’ football coach puts an emphasis on football. “I know there are people taking shots at football out there and these kids we got right here at camp – how many of them are going to play college football.

Nation’s best motorcycle racers cruise into Greenville BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – Nearly 200 riders took to the Darke County Fairgrounds half mile track Friday and Sunday to compete in the Pushin’ the Cushion motorcycle races. “We had our full amateur and pro program Friday night,” said Pensacola, Florida’s Robert D. McLendon. “Friday we had 12 heat races and 13 feature races.” “Sunday we had a full amateur race program including 15 heat races and 10 feature,” added McLendon. Racing fans watched as professional, amateur and vintage legend riders competed from around the country, including California, Michigan, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Washington and many from Ohio. The nation’s current leader and fastest rider, Jared “Jammer” Mees was
in town with his Indian Team motorcycle crew. The Multi-time Grand National Champion has an impressive Flat Track resume including a Gold Medalist in the 2016 X Games and currently stands as the No. 1 racer in the Nation. “It was a good year last year with the whole Indian Team motorcycle crew,” said Mees. “Came out swinging and got the No. 1 plate and been having a good season so far in 2018.” Mees has fond memories of Darke County and enjoys coming back to the local fairgrounds to race. “I’ve had some good results here,” noted Mees. “I raced a Grand National here back in the day, so it’s been good. I’ve never won the National here but maybe someday we’ll have a National at Greenville.” “It’s cool here – this place is pretty laid back facility,” said Mees. “I’ve
know. A few. How many are going to be pro – probably none so you’re looking at 18 years old and your career is over with. You’ll never get a chance at this again, but the lessons that you learn and the relationships that you build are irreplaceable and for those reasons alone outweigh any other in my opinion.” Time given to coaching often goes unnoticed as coaching takes many hours away from family. “They have been supportive,” Masters said of his family. “My wife put up with a lot over the years. The hours I put in and being gone and my daughter too. I missed a lot of her things. She was an athlete in high school and played sports. I missed some of that stuff because of my obligations. Now I’m really enjoying my grandson. I don’t miss much of his.” “No regrets – none,” concluded Coach Masters. “Do it all over again.”

been coming here for a lot of years on and off and I am very familiar with it and always enjoy it.” With the privilege of riding No. 1 bike comes the pressure to stay on top. “You always have that pressure because once you reach the top the only thing you have to do is drop bottom,” Mees said, “so I want to stay on top – that’s for
sure.” The racers enjoy the many large trees on the grounds that provide shade to riders and crew as they wait on their race, as most venues do not have the luxury of shaded areas. “They just love the facility,” said McLendon of the races attraction to Darke County, “they love the track.”

GRICE
- William E. “Bill” Grice III, age 66, of Greenville passed away at 3:34 p.m. Friday, June 29, 2018, at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus. Bill was born Dec. 16, 1951, in Greenville to Lois (Dufur) Grice of Greenville and the late William E. Grice II. In addition to his father, Bill was also preceded in death by a brother, Ray W. Grice; sister, Rebecca “Becky” Dyer; and a niece, Billie Jo Kress. Bill is survived by his wife, Sharon (Holsopple) Grice whom he married July 18, 1995; daughters and son-in-law, Tracy J. Miniard of Greenville and Tammy M. and Steve Minard of Albany, Ind.; step-daughter, Jodi L. Byers of Greenville; grand937-548-5035 866-645-8405
children, William C. Miniard, Aaron R. Miniard, Nathan E. Miniard, Brock P. Minard, Erika J. Minard, Kyli L. (Hazen) Ripple, Cody D. Gunckel, J. Austin Baumgardner, Alyssa K. Baumgardner and Braylon E. Byers; greatgrandchildren, Alexa M. Miniard, Bella L. Ripple and Grayson M. Ripple; brother and sister-in-law, Ed and Susan Grice of Bradford; sister, Diana C. Louk of Greenville; and numerous nieces and nephews. Bill served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. Bill retired with more than 25 years of service from the Darke County Sheriff’s Office where he was Chief Deputy. He was a member of the Greenville American Legion and the NRA. Bill was basically a homebody, thoroughly enjoying his time in his shop woodworking or mowing his lawn. He so missed his dog Sadie and “hunting” rabbits with her. Bill was a gentleman and a gentle man, ever thoughtful of his wife and family. He was also quite a lucky man, being so thankful for his family, his friends, his home-boy Bob Reed, and his wins while gambling. Bill worked his way through the ranks at the Sheriff’s Office, becoming Chief Deputy through his hard work and dedication. He selflessly was always there for the office and the community whenever called, even at the disruption of family life. His pranks, his laughter, shaking his head at Sharon’s comments, and yes, even his snorting (or lack thereof) will forever be remembered. Bill loved his country and showed that by serving in the Army. His biggest idol was John Wayne, one of America’s greatest patriots. At one time, there were few rooms in Bill and Sharon’s home that you could go into without seeing John Wayne (either a photo, figurine, or coffee mug). The best retirement gift that Bill received was from his fellow employees of a John Wayne replica rifle. A funeral service was held Thursday, July 5, 2018, at Zechar Bailey Funeral Home in Greenville. Memorial contributions may be made to the Disabled American Veterans P.O. Box 14301 Cincinnati, OH 45250-0301. Condolences for the family may be expressed through www.zecharbailey.com

Greenville Municipal Concert Band to feature Taiko Drums, Chelsea Whirledge GREENVILLE - The Greenville Municipal Concert Band will once again take the stage this Sunday, July 8 at the Marling Band Shell in the beautiful
Greenville City Park. The concert will begin at 7 p.m. and is free and open to the public. This week the band would like to feature the
sounds of Taiko Drums under the direction of Audrey Hathaway from Mississinawa Valley High School. The Kuroi Taka Taiko drummers are a Japanese
drumming ensemble that combine choreography and drumming along with cultural costuming (masks, kimonos, and props) to delight audiences of all ages.
The handmade drums used are of three sizes: the very large Okedo daido drums, the medium-sized nagada drums and the smaller shime daiko drums. Gongs, shakeres, cymbals and other small trap instruments are also used in their performances. The Kuroi Taka Taiko drumming group has achieved great success throughout Ohio and Indiana, performing at the Ohio State House, Langfest at OSU, the 2nd Summit of Educators, the Ohio School Board Association Convention, International Baccalaureate schools in Indianapolis and many local and school events.

Tribute Funeral Homes honor America GAYLEN BLOSSER
SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – Eric Fee, owner of Tribute Funeral Homes was hanging the American Flag in front of his Greenville funeral home early Tuesday morning with the help of friend and local businessman, Marty McCabe of Marty McCabe Painting Service. “Marty McCabe comes out to help hang the American Flag on Memorial Day, Labor Day, Fourth of July, Flag Day and Veterans Day,” said Fee. “We always put the flag out in honor of our country and everyone who served for us. It’s a way we can have
a tribute for our Veterans and celebrate them during this time.” “I appreciate what the Fourth of July means to our country and I appreciate what our servicemen and women have done for us,” said McCabe. “They fought for our freedom so it is very special to me.” The flag measures 20 foot in length and was displayed horizontally at several locations including Light House Christian Center prior to moving to Broadway. The large flag was made 20 years ago for Fee by a friend. “When we brought it here we decided to let it hang and wave because it is the perfect length right
where it’s at,” noted Fee. “It doesn’t hit anything when it’s blowing – if you don’t like the American flag blowing, I don’t know what you would like.” Fee is pleased many in the community appreciate the large American flag flowing in the breeze on North Broadway. “We get a ton of wonderful comments,” Fee stated. “The community seems to love it. You see Old Glory flying – it just melts your heart and it gives you that feeling of patriotism.” “We appreciate Marty McCabe and his staff helping us hang the flag each time – because it’s way up there,” added Fee. “If Eric Fee wants to

said McCabe, “I am certainly willing to donate a
little equipment and time to do it.”

GREENVILLE – The 19th Annual Greenville Farm Power of the Past officially opened Thursday morning with the playing of the National Anthem, American Flag raising and opening ceremonies. Public address announcer Rick Brewer opened the
ceremony with a welcome before introducing the organization’s Chaplain, Pastor Jim Meredith of First Baptist Church of Greenville. Claire and Connor Rogers raised the American Flag as the National Anthem played with their parents Justin and Tammy Rogers looking on. “Darke County, being one of the top agricultural counties not only in the state, but in the country – Farm Power of the Past represents where
we have come from and where we are going to go to,” said Darke County Commission Michael Stegall. “Agriculture is such a big thing everywhere that people need to see how it used to be and this is a great reflection of what we have done and where we are going and for future.” “We have some really different events this year,” said Power of the Past President Von Oswalt. “We have the

GETTYSBURG – GHS band students, Greenville Instrumental Boosters and community businesses sponsored the Greenville Band of Pride 5K Race to help raise funds for new marching band uniforms. “Uniforms, instruments, it’s all going to the Greenville Band of Pride,” said second year GHS band director Sara Lewis. “Whatever we need. The main goal is uniforms but if we need it for instruments or anything prior to that, we’ll use if for that – anything the students need essentially.” Lewis took time to thank the many lending support for the band uniform project. “The band members, we have tons of sponsors, the community has been super supportive and our Greenville Instrumental Boosters too,” Lewis said. “Thanks
Cast Iron Seat Collectors Association. They are coming from all over the country. We have several from Canada, Montana, Minnesota and Iowa.” “We have our usual display of tractors,” added Oswalt. “We are featuring Oliver and Case this year. We have a nice representation from both of them and we’ll have the other tractors as well. It was noted Oswalt was serving our nation 50 years ago in Vietnam.

actually really cool,” Lewis hopes to have uniforms within the next year for the high school band. “It’s a big amount of money we have to raise,” stated Lewis. “We’re almost halfway there.” The band students were quick to complement their GHS band director, Ms. Lewis. “I love her,” said Buchy. “She’s amazing.” “I love playing in the band – I love it,” said Bucklew. “Our band director is really cool. She is absolutely fantastic.”

Historical markers are restored DARKE COUNTY - After many months of restoration, the Garst Museum and Annie Oakley historical markers have been repainted and installed at numerous locations around Greenville and Darke County. According to Dick Brown, local historian, the cast signs advertising the Garst Museum date back to 1971. According to Brown, the signs were the idea of Ralph Gelder. Gelder was a Garst Mu-
seum board member and interested in military history. He was the artist who intricately painted Anthony Wayne’s face on the original Visit Garst Museum markers. The markers have been repainted over the years and are currently red and gold. Today, these markers are located at Greenville’s city limits. The Annie Oakley historical marker was originally located along U.S. Route 127 N at a roadside park near Beamsville.
The park’s dedication was jointly sponsored by the Anthony Wayne Parkway Board, the Darke County Historical Society, the Ohio Department of Highways, the Greenville Chamber of Commerce, and the Beamsville Christian Church. It was dedicated to Annie Oakley on Aug. 12, 1955. The bronze plaque was donated by Gail Davis, TV star who portrayed Annie Oakley, and western star, Gene Autry, head of Flying A Productions. The plaque
was unveiled by Mrs. Rush Blakely and Mrs. Maxwell Black, nieces of Annie Oakley. Recently, after 63 years in service, the Annie Oakley Park was closed and the sign returned to Garst Museum. It has been beautifully restored thanks to the Annie Oakley Center Foundation and placed in the front yard of the Garst Museum. Several families, foundations, and organizations helped fund the restoration of these historical markers.
The Visit Garst Museum Historical Marker and Annie Oakley markers have recently been restored.
Garst Museum would like to thank the Brown Family Foundation, the Annie Oakley Center Foundation, Rodney Oda, Jeff and
Susan Barker, and Eunice Steinbrecher for their help in preserving these beautiful signs.

As Top Producer For June 2018
Arcanum Garden Club ready for season
ARCANUM – The first meeting of the Arcanum Garden Club was held in March at the Paulus Cabin, which was cozy with the fireplace burning. A carry-in lunch and business meeting was enjoyed by those attending. Due the weather, some members were not able to attend. The April meeting was a Tribute to Spring, with a trip to Stockslager’s Garden Center in New Lebanon. Such beautiful flowers. We all wanted to start planting that day. Lunch was at the Tea Room in New Lebanon, which members felt was very nice and enjoyable. It will soon be time for the annual planting of the pots
around Arcanum, which includes downtown, Generation Square, park and library. They will be planted in time for Old Fashioned Days. Come and enjoy. We, as members of the Garden Club, hope the community appreciates the many hours it takes to help make this town unique. Officers this year are President Amy Jeffers, Secretary Kornelia Barnett, Treasurer Connie Norris, Corresponding Secretary Anita Troutwine, and this year’s chairwoman for the beautification
is Sue Stammen. The meeting in May will be at the home of Abby Cutright. The theme will be Derby Days. June’s meeting will be at the home of Anita Troutwine. We do hope the people around Arcanum will find time to sit at the Generation Square to enjoy the flowers and the fountain, stroll through Ivester Park and walk through downtown, enjoying the planting and shopping at the stores along the historic brick streets.

Edison State professor receives recognition PIQUA – The American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) recently awarded Edison State Community College professor David Barth with the inaugural Dale P. Parnell Distinguished Faculty designation at the annual AACC national convention in Dallas. Professor Barth, of Troy, is an Associate Professor
PUBLIC AUCTION
David Barth
of Electronics Engineering Technology at Edison State Community College, a position he has held since
2000. Barth also serves as the Coordinator of the Electronics Engineering Technology program. He holds a Master of Science degree in Electronic Engineering from Michigan Technical University. Named in honor of former AACC President and CEO Dale P. Parnell, the association established the designation to rec-
ognize individuals making a difference in the classroom. Nominees must demonstrate passion for the students and the classroom; show a willingness to support students, inside and outside of the classroom; be inclined to participate in college committees; and go above and beyond what is required to ensure that students are
successful in their academic endeavors. “Professor Barth’s abilities and passion for teaching are on full display in the classroom,” said Edison State President Dr. Doreen Larson. “David works closely with all students to help them understand the course concepts, taking personal responsibility for the success of each student.” “David’s love of his discipline is infectious whether he is explaining a difficult concept in electronics, demonstrating how machines on an assembly line are controlled electronically, or helping students to construct a robot for the local “Battle Bots” competition,” added Larson. “His care and concern for both the subject matter and each student make him an exemplary college instructor.” Outside of instructing, Barth is consistently looking for ways to improve the Elec-
tronics Engineering Technology program at Edison State. In the last year and a half, he has developed a number of new certificate options for students, completed transfer agreements with university and vocational school partners, and revised the program’s curriculum to align with the Guided Pathways approach to promoting student success and completion. Additionally, he has served on a number of committees and taken on responsibilities to ensure new initiatives are successful. “Professor Barth is a valued leader of committees and initiatives on campus,” said Dr. Larson. The AACC recognized Barth and 49 of his peers with a custom commemorative medal at a private reception with author Jeanette Walls (The Glass Castle). Recipients’ names will be showcased on a new AACC Faculty Wall of Distinction.

Changes for Greenville Transit System announced GREENVILLE – The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is requiring GTS to get new dispatching software in the coming weeks. GTS will begin implementing Ecolane software the week
of Aug. 6. Changes will include: How county fares are calculated. County rides will go to a $1 per loaded mile from pick-up point to drop-off point, regardless if the ride begins or ends
in the city limits. County contract riders will not see a change. Drivers will begin using tablets in the vehicles to cut down on radio traffic, for mapping, and for better ride tracking.
During this transition, we ask riders to be patient with drivers and dispatchers. Funding for this project is being provided through the ODOT TIGER grant with local funds of $1,000 also being used.
