JAFE massive growth attributed to employees GREENVILLE – JAFE Decorating, Inc., has three automatBOB ROBINSON ed lines; Associate Editor all three bluebagmedia.com are in operation 24 hours a day seven days a week…

“We’re just trying to get it all done,” said Randy O’Dell, owner. Christmas is finished, Valentine’s Day is next. O’Dell noted winter was the

busiest time of the year.

“After that it’s Mother’s Day then spring.”

O’Dell and his wife, co-owner Lisa O’Dell, held a “celebration” of the company’s latest expansion Dec. 19, another 14,000 square feet added to its existing 36,000 square feet. Two units – a robotic paint sprayer and an oven – went into the new area. “We got it installed as quickly as possible,” O’Dell added.

“We’re behind the 8-ball

in orders.”

Darke County Economic Director Marc Saluk lauded JAFE’s massive growth “in a very short time” as indicative of the strength of the home-grown manufacturing sector.

“It’s just as important as the growth of large companies,” he said. He noted Greenville Federal Savings and the Darke County Revolving Loan Fund were partners in the expansion. “Jobs

Ohio also helped in the effort with a skills training loan.”

“Their commitment was for 20 new jobs,” Saluk added. “I believe they’ve already done that… with hiring still to come.” According to O’Dell JAFE has a little over 70 employees at the present time.

Will growth continue? That’s the trend.

“The recession was our low point,” O’Dell noted. “2013 was a record year… then 2014 was another record year.”

When the O’Dells started in 2005 the focus was primarily glass decorating and lighting.

While those were still parts of the business, the major focus is now floral and candles. The business was started in 1978.

During the celebration ceremony, O’Dell told over 50 invited guests this was about his employees. “Our people are our key to success,” he said. “Their dedication and commitment are the reason for our growth.”

JAFE’s expansion was applauded with certificates of commendation by local and state

public officials, including the Ohio Senate by Senator Bill Beagle, the Ohio House by Representative Jim Buchy, the Darke County Commis-

sioners and Greenville Mayor Mike Bowers.

Following the official ceremony visitors were offered an opportunity to tour the facility.

Spiritual/emotional health is part of patient’s overall health GREENVILLE – For as long as Wayne HealthCare has been RYAN BERRY a r o u n d Managing Editor the overall bluebagmedia.com health of each patient has been and will continue to be the organization’s number one goal. While pro-

viding quality medical care has always been a priority, it is sometimes forgotten that to provide overall healthcare for a patient the hospital and its staff must also be concerned with the spiritual and emotional health of not only the patient, but their family as well.

Although pastors have always been welcome

to visit with patients, it wasn’t until 1961 that an organized chaplaincy program formed at the hospital. Rev. John McRoberts assembled a group of local pastors to make visits and assist however needed.

According to Rev. Joseph Soley, the mission established in 1961 has stayed the same –

only the chaplains have changed. Soley assumed the duties as Pastoral Care Coordinator in 1983 and continues in that role. He currently works with Rev. Sam Hoeflich and Rev. David Cummings as the hospital’s chaplains. The chaplains are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Even though the program has been in place for over 50 years, Rev. Soley pointed out the chaplaincy ministry and the hospital are continuously strengthening their relationship. The chaplains will usually make an initial visit with a new patient to see if they have a pastor they want called or if there is anything they can help with. If the patient doesn’t need or want assistance, the chaplains won’t pressure them. The staff also works well with the chaplains and lets them know if there is someone in need of their services.

Understanding the need for spiritual and emotional support, in 2012 the hospital opened its chapel. The area is always open and allows patients or family members an opportunity to get away and pray, meditate or reflect.

Although the organi-

zation has continually been a supporter of the spiritual and emotional care patients and their families need, Wayne HealthCare recently took some criticism when it temporarily took Bibles from patients’ rooms.

While some may have speculated the move was to be “politically correct,” hospital officials were quick to point out that was not the case. The Bibles were removed after a Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program visit and the surveyor recommended the Bibles along with other books be removed as they can be a potential source of infection.

move the books per the recommendation and posted signs in the rooms and nursing units making patients and visitors aware that Bibles were available upon request in the chapel and at the reception desk.

Due to complaints from visitors, the hospital revised its policy.

Bibles have since been placed in sealed plastic bags and are available in every patient room.

To reduce the risk of any potential infection, Bibles inside of plastic bags with broken seals will be sent home with the patient. If the seal is not broken, the Bible will be disinfected properly and remain in the patient room.

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT

Suspect runs from officer, earns a trip to jail On December 7 police were looking for a possible suspect, Gage Bradburn, regarding a domestic and a burglary earlier that day. Bradburn was found on the porch of 110 Markwith Ave. The officer exited his vehicle and walked toward Bradburn, advising him he needed to speak with him. Bradburn first said “who” to which the officer responded him. Bradburn then told the officer to stop; he could speak from where he was. The office said that wouldn’t

work as he needed his identification.

Then Bradburn allegedly said “you’re not quick enough to catch me” and jumped off the side of the porch.

He began walking on 11th Street. The officer followed him advising him he needed to stop.

Bradburn observed the officer following and began to run. The officer began the foot pursuit, advising Bradburn to stop. They were in an alley behind Martin Street.

ASSAULT

On December 20 police responded to 5438 SR 49, 4A, regarding an assault. The victim, Eric Henson, had a large lump and contusion on the left side of his face. According to Henson and his wife the suspect, identified in the report only as Ogles, was the boyfriend of the Nikea Henson’s sister, Jamie Staszheim, who had moved in with them recently. The victim had asked Staszheim and Ogles to leave when they allegedly began talking about purchasing drugs.

The argument started.

Ogles allegedly punched a hole in the Hensons’ bedroom door, punched Henson in the side of

the face and threatened him with a knife. Police found a knife on the suspect. Ogles told police he went to the residence to purchase “weed” and at one point Henson threw a punch at him. He said his elbow hit the victim on the side of his face.

Ogles will be issued a citation for Assault.

On December 22 police were dispatched to the residence of a juvenile regarding an assault. The complainant told police the juvenile hit another juvenile in the forehead with a skateboard. The defendant told police he and the victim were riding their skateboards when the victim suddenly kicked his for no reason. He became upset and hit the victim in the forehead with the skateboard. The victim had a small laceration to the forehead above the left eye. Greenville Township responded and treated the victim, who refused further treatment. The defendant was currently under probation. The decision was made to transport him to West Central due to his history. He was issued a misdemeanor citation for Assault.

“Your presence will be upsetting enough,”

Member of violent burglary trio pleads guilty

BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER www.bluebagmedia.com

GREENVILLE – One of three local men charged in connection with an Oct. 6 burglary in Greenville has pleaded guilty in the case.

Jeremiah D. Burkhart, 29, of Greenville entered a guilty plea Dec. 23 in the Darke County Court of Common Pleas to one count each of Aggravated Burglary, a felony of the first degree, and Robbery, a second degree felony. As part of a plea bargain with the state a count of Kidnapping and Grand Theft Auto were dismissed. Darke

County Prosecuting Attorney Kelly Ormsby told the court that Burkhart will also be expected to testify against his co-defendants, Daniel J. Bush, 33, and James S. Bush, 32, in the case if they decide to go ahead with a scheduled jury trial in early January 2015.

The trio was charged after an investigation into a break-in and robbery at 232 Tiffin Street in Greenville. Reports stated the defendants allegedly assaulted the male homeowner and fled the scene with $15,000 worth of coins.

Burkhart remains jailed on $150,000 bond and is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 16 at 8:30 a.m. Though he could face a maximum of 19 years, the state and defense agreed to a joint recommendation of four years as part of the plea bargain. Burkhart is represented by local defense attorney Randall E. Breaden.

Dr. William Fisher and his family have a lot to be thankful for after a Thanksgiving Day plane crash.

Christmas special for doctor’s family RICHMOND, Ind. – Dr. William and Barbara Fisher remember praying for a safe trip – as they always do before a flight – before taking off from the Richmond airport on a Thanksgiving trip to Michigan with their son, Bryce, and his girlfriend, Mirhta Morales.

Mrs. Fisher remembers grabbing Mirhta’s hand and praying again as she felt trees brushing the underside of the single-engine Piper. She knew it was crashing in Berrien Springs, Mich., suffering an engine failure just a couple of miles from their destination.

She doesn’t remember anything else until she woke up later in a hospital.

With Mrs. Fisher now recovering in the Acute Rehab Unit at Reid, the Fisher family says there is one thing they will never forget – the power of prayer. “God preserved the lives of all of us,” Dr. Fisher said recently while the four gathered in Mrs. Fisher’s room at Reid.

A pilot for 45 years, the doctor finds it truly miraculous that all four are alive.

The plane came down within a few feet of a home in one direction, a river in the other and trees and power lines all around. Photos at the time show the plane in at least two pieces on the ground. They were strapped in seats upside down, with Dr. Fisher and Morales able to get out but with Bryce and Mrs. Fisher pinned inside.

Dr. Fisher immediately began helping get the rest of his family out of the plane, not knowing he had broken ribs and five cracked vertebra in his back. “I didn’t even know I was injured,” he said, with his immediate

reaction to be a physician to his injured loved ones.

Earlier this week, right after they gathered in Mrs. Fisher’s room to tape an interview with a Sound Bend area TV station, they said they just wanted everyone to know how thankful they are for their survival. They believe they experienced a miracle and answer to their prayers of protection. “The Lord gave us new life again,” Dr. Fisher said.

Bryce Fisher told the TV reporter that he did not panic when the engine failed. “I don’t remember panicking. I don’t remember thinking ‘this is it.’ It was just complete tunnel vision … between the engine dying and actually hitting the trees, we probably had 25 to 30 seconds.” He said if they’d hit the home, nearby trees or the river, they likely would not have survived. The plane landed upside down, and Bryce Fisher said his head was in the snow. “It was by the hand of God that we’re alive today.”

Morales is recovering from injuries to her leg.

Dr. Fisher is feeling fine and in the process of letting his injuries heal with time. Bryce is also doing well – he had no broken bones but had gashes and cuts, and a serious injury that required oral surgery.

Mrs. Fisher is expected to continue her recovery for several months after serious injuries to her hip and shoulder. While in the Acute Rehab Unit, she is undergoing regular physical therapy as she continues her path to recovery.

As they clasped hands in front of the TV camera, Mrs. Fisher reinforced her thankfulness for answered prayers. The family is hopeful that Mrs.

GREENVILLE – There is just something about a fresh start of a new year that gives us the feeling of a new beginning. Start out your new year at EUM Church as they are hosting several classes that offer enrichment for your spiritual life. Find out how God can work in your life to give you a new start and spiritual growth! These classes include: * Christianity 101 – Take this class to get grounded in the basics of the Christian faith and begin to grow spiritual roots that will sustain you in your walk with Jesus Christ. It will help you lay a spiritual foundation and understand what it means to love God fully and love others as yourself. Discover six spiritual practices that will help you become a fully submitted follower of Christ. * Financial Peace University (FPU) – We all need a plan for our money.

is that plan! It teaches God’s ways of handling money. Through video teaching, class discussions and interactive small group activities, FPU presents biblical, practical steps to get from where you are to where you’ve dreamed you could be. This plan will show you how to get rid of debt, manage your money, spend and save wisely, and much more! * Biblical & Early Church History – During this class, we will be taking a look at the historical significance of the world during biblical times, the implications of culture during biblical times and the history of the early church. * God’s Kingdom – What is the Kingdom of Heaven? What is the Kingdom of God? Find out if there is a difference between the Kingdoms and what they have to do with you, the church and what we may conclude God wants us to do with what we learn! * Know Your Enemy – “Know your enemy” is easily and certainly one of the most interesting historical and factual treatments that exposes what is generally not seen: “the powers that be” that are behind politics and religious institutions that can be found just about everywhere throughout the world.

Learn and explore history, the world religions, our money system, the many wars and revolutions as well as the coming New World Order from a biblical perspective. * Truth Project – In a recent study, the Barna Research Group revealed that only 9 percent of professing Christians have a biblical worldview. Because of this, today’s believers live very similarly to non-believers. A person-

al sense of significance is rarely experienced, we spend our money and time on things that fail to satisfy and we begin to wonder what life’s ultimate purpose really is.

We are, in short, losing our bearings as a people and a nation. To counter this slide, this study is the starting point for looking at life from a biblical perspective.

Each lesson discusses in great detail the relevance and importance of living the Christian worldview in daily life. * Women’s Bible Study: Breathe—Making Room for the Sabbath – One of the greatest challenges among women in our culture is taking time to stop and cease from all the activities and busyness and just breathe. We are in bondage to busyness. By neglecting time for tranquility, serenity, and repose, we limit our Christlikeness and miss out on some of God’s greatest gifts. If you are weary, worn out and exhausted, the concept of Sabbath will change your life. * Women’s Bible Study: Bad Girls of the Bible: And What We Can Learn From Them – In looking at what we can learn from biblical women gone bad “Bad Girls of the Bible” brings to life ancient stories and unforgettably reveals how timeless truths of the Bible apply to today’s woman. * Women’s Bible Study: What Love Is: the Letters of 1, 2, 3 John – The letters of 1, 2, and 3 John were written to encourage followers of Jesus to remain faithful

to the truth. Believers are challenged to look at contrasting themes such as walking in the light instead of darkness, truth versus lies and deception, loving God more than loving the world, and the meaning of true fellowship and community rather than shallowness. This study reveals not only the heart of John but also the heart of Jesus. * Men’s Bible Study: 33 Series – Authentic Manhood is all about setting men up to live lives of truth, passion and purpose. We offer clear and practical Biblical insights on God’s design for manhood that are both refreshing and inspiring. “33 The Series” is a multi-volume, gospel-centered video series that presents the timeless truths of Authentic Manhood in a powerfully new and engaging way. It includes new insightful teaching, inspiring testimonies, expert interviews and multiple creative features. As a man experiences the different volumes of 33, he will find himself building a vision for Authentic Manhood in his own life that is built on the gospel of Jesus Christ and was modeled by Him in His 33 years on earth. All men are welcome!

ON YOUR MIND

Revitalizing manufacturing and innovation

One of my most important jobs is to advocate for working SHERROD families in BROWN Ohio. MidU.S. SENATOR dle-class families have felt squeezed by the number of jobs going overseas, especially in the manufacturing sector.

A report released last week from the Economic Policy Institute found that from 2001 to 2013, the U.S. lost 2.4 million manufacturing jobs to China alone.

Ohio has long been a leader in manufacturing, but in order to remain competitive we must invest in the future. That means investing in advanced manufacturing that will help American companies out-compete and out-innovate our foreign competitors. Last week, Congress took a large step toward making that investment by passing my bipartisan legislation, the Revitalize American Manufacturing and Innovation Act (RAMI).

RAMI – which I introduced along with Senator Roy Blunt (R-MO) – would create a National Network for Manufacturing Innovation to establish public-private partnerships between small businesses, industry leaders, and research institutions, giving them the tools they need to compete on a global scale. These regional, industry-led hubs could create thousands of high-paying, high-tech manufacturing jobs for next-generation workers.

The legislation passed both the House and Senate last week, and now heads to the President’s desk for final signature.

The Ohio State University’s (OSU) Center for Emergent Materials (Center) is a prime example of how collaborative partnerships can bolster manufacturing. The Center – which will receive more than $17 million in funding from the National

Science Foundation (NSF) over the next six years – is part of a network of material science labs across the country working together to encourage innovation.

The Center also partners with local private enterprises like Lake Shore Cryotronics in Westerville on research and development to advance the field of magnetoelectronics.

This is the kind of effort that can collaborate with a National Network of Manufacturing Innovation.

Earlier this year, the American Lightweight Materials Manufacturing Innovation Institute (ALMMII) – the sort of National Network for Manufacturing Innovation that will be created by RAMI – was announced by the Administration. Coled by OSU, the University of Michigan, and Columbus’s Edison Welding Institute, this ALMMII will promote advanced lightweight materials technology – efforts that will advance manufacturing, like the technology being developed at the Center for Emergent Materials. This project is estimated to create more than 10,000 new jobs in the next five years. With this investment in our workers and businesses, the United States will once again lead the world in manufacturing and innovation.

The first manufacturing network created was America Makes in Youngstown and President Obama has established other institutes across the country.

Innovation is key to our nation’s economic competitiveness. We have the knowledge and expertise right here at home to lead the world in next-generation manufacturing. I’m proud of the message that passing RAMI sends: The United States will not settle for second place when it comes to manufacturing. Made in the USA is here to stay.

Anonymity for those involved in executions

A few months ago, I learned that state officials would not JIM BUCHY start exOHIO ecutions REPRESENTATIVE again until certain protections were in place to keep the identity of those involved with the process private. What that means is the drug manufacturers and the physicians who are involved with the executions can rest easy knowing their names aren’t tied to the execution. This is a big roadblock that we need to get past so that we can begin the execution process again. The criminals on death row are murderers and have been on death row for an average of 17 years. We need to get this process moving so we don’t extend that timeframe.

Carrying out the courtordered death penalty in the case of a heinous murder is very important for providing legitimacy across the legal system in Ohio. Potential criminals need to know that there will be punishment for their crimes and in the case of a murderer; they need to know that their punishment could very well be death.

Right now on death row, they are so slowed down that only a small fraction of inmates have received their court-ordered executions scheduled. This

can be attributed to lawyers drawing out the process and pushing back the dates.

The pharmaceutical companies that make and sell the chemicals used for these executions may refuse to sell to the state anymore because they want anonymity. House Bill 663 keeps the pharmacies anonymous when it comes to their participation in the transactions that supply Ohio with the lethal-injection drugs we use.

All too often, lawyers see opportunities to take advantage of other people’s suffering. There are concerns that we may start seeing tort involving private citizens and companies that were just carrying out the will of the court system.

To carry out the lethalinjection process we need professionals who can administer drugs and conduct the executions in a humanitarian manner.

Ensuring that their identity is protected will allow us to have the best possible people involved with the process. This is the largest step to restarting the capital punishment process and getting our courtordered executions started again.

It wasn’t a good day Grumpy Side of 60

by Bob Robinson Associate Editor bluebagmedia.com

You might remember my comments about a child I tutored over the summer. We would work for about five minutes, 10 or 15 if she was really engaged, then with no warning she would decide she’s done for the day.

She’s cute as a bug and has an impish grin that melts the hardest heart if you don’t know her, but scares the heck out of you if you do. I never knew what she was going to do next. She’d say “I’m done.” Impulse takes over. She’d get up from her chair, head for a potted plant and hide behind it. She’d run around the room, giggling. In and out of the room, giggling. Call her name and she’d stop and look at you; big grin!

Then off running again.

Once I wrote she bounced off the walls.

That was only a slight exaggeration.

There was one time we had a really good session.

It lasted a little over 30 minutes. When it became obvious she was “done” we decided to find mom (she sometimes waited downstairs). My student took my hand (customary); we walked to the elevator (customary); she pushed the “down” button (customary)… then when we got on the elevator she pushed the button for the wrong floor (not customary). As soon as the doors opened she was off running.

We’re on the second floor. She ran into the computer room, then to the other wing. Occasionally she would stop and look to see if I was following… then finally down the steps to the first floor.

She’s five years old. I was 69.

Ask me if I was keeping up!

She got to the first floor and instead of looking for mom (who hadn’t arrived yet) she headed straight

for the nearest door. A fire exit! The alarm went off; I chased after her. By the time I got outside she was on the sidewalk in front grinning and waving. She ignored my calls and ran off in the direction of the junior high school.

The alarm was still ringing, I’m starting to limp, I’m totally frustrated… and just a little worried. Fortunately, mom arrived about this time and caught up with her.

Incident over. Mom later asked the child why she did it.

She grinned. “Because I could,” she said.

Fast forward to last week. Mom took her and her sister to the store.

They each wanted their own mini-carts. “The first time you act up you lose the cart,” mom told them. Little sister lost her cart within minutes by bumping into another customer. Several minutes later mom is in the paper products aisle and turned around to check on the girls.

They were gone. The cart was there but the girls weren’t. Panicked, mom started back up

the aisle when she heard whispers. She followed the sounds to the paper towels section.

The girls had climbed to the back of the bottom shelf and moved the paper towels in front of them. They’d built a fort and were hiding behind it! When they knew they’d been found out they started giggling.

Mom provided no details on what happened next. Thoughts, anyone?

Both little ones are precious. I saw little sister often over the summer; she insisted I hold her once while mom and I were discussing big sister, who is now in kindergarten. I always get a hug when my summer charge sees me in the hall or lunchroom at Woodland.

She seems to be doing fine. Well… I’m not really sure. She told her mom once “I didn’t have a good day today.”

However both little ones are loved and they know it. The young lady has even managed to have a couple “Popcorn Fridays” for being good this year.

Breast cancer and raising awareness I hope this October, you’ve been able to join with othRICHARD ADAMS ers across OHIO the nation REPRESENTATIVE to honor, remember and reflect on the brave individuals who have battled, and are currently battling, breast cancer. First established in 1985, the annual Breast Cancer Awareness Month campaign seeks to generate attention for the disease and raise funds for research on its prevention, treatment, and eventual cure.

Despite the fact that many Americans may know about the disease and might notice the abundance of pink ribbons worn throughout the month of October, often individuals are not fully informed on how to detect the disease in its early stages, or are hesitant to encourage others to do so.

That is why it is vital for both men and women to rally behind the cause.

Currently, breast cancer is the second-leading cause of death among women in the United States, and it is listed by the World Health Organization as the most common female cancer

worldwide. Each year, it is projected that more than 220,000 American women will be diagnosed with the disease, and tragically, more than 40,000 of these women will lose their fight with breast cancer, according to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

While the statistics are distressing, recent breast cancer trends have shown more positive and uplifting results. Death rates from breast cancer have been on the decline since the 1990s, and recent studies have demonstrated a gradual reduction in breast cancer rates for women aged 50 and older.

Improved early screening and detection, evolving and expanded treatment options, and a rise in awareness and regular self-exams are all factors in these promising developments.

The significant gains in breast cancer research and awareness are encouraging, yet there is still progress to be made. We must continue to educate women, volunteer for fundraisers, and support research so that breast cancer can someday be eliminated from our local communities and from communities across the globe.

Distinguished Public Service Award given COLUMBUS—State Representative Richard Adams (R-Troy) recently received the 2014 Paul E. Gillmor Lifetime Public Service Award. He was honored Nov. 13 during the Ohio Bankers’ League Annual Meeting.

The award, established in 2006, is not granted annually, but rather is given to select individuals who are especially meritorious, often at the end of their careers. It is named after Ohio Congressman Paul Gillmor, who served the residents of the 5th District for 18 years until his death in 2007.

“I was acquainted with Paul Gillmor when he served as member and President of the Ohio Senate,” Adams said.

“Mr. Gillmor later served for the United States Congress. He was a hard worker and represented his constituents well. This

causes me to be thankful for the recognition of the award named in his honor. I have always attempted to emanate his qualities in my service to citizens who entrusted me with responsibility.”

For his distinguished work in the community and as an educator, Representative Adams has received many awards, including the Ohio Outstanding Administrator Award from the Ohio Vo-

cational Association and the Citizenship Award for Distinguished Service to Humanity from The Ohio State Alumni Association. He was named a member of Distinguished Alumni by The Ohio State University College of Agriculture and named a Distinguished Citizen of Troy by the Troy Area Chamber of Commerce.

He was honored with the Outstanding Com-

munity College Trustee in the United States and Canada Award by the Association of Community College Trustees. Recently, he received the 2014 Legislator of the Year from The Ohio Mortgage Bankers Association. The Richard N. Adams Educational Service Award has also been named in his honor from the Ohio Association of Community Colleges.

GREENVILLE – Brought to you by Flory Landscaping and Lawn Care Inc., Greenville, OH, Your Landscape/ Gardening tip of the week: Your health and safety should be on your top priority list when going out to shovel snow and ice off your sidewalks. Frostbite can be easily prevented when dressing properly for extreme cold weather, but it also can be very dangerous when not prevented.

Frostbite is an injury to the body caused by freezing. Frostbite can make you lose feeling and color in the area that is not protected from the cold. Frostbite affects the nose, ears, cheeks, chins, fingers, and toes. It can cause permanent damage to the body and also can lead to amputation.

The first sign of frost-

bite is pain in an area, and then the affected skin might turn white, grayish and –yellow skin area.

When you think you have frostbite, seek medical attention. When you are having signs of frostbite, get into a warm room as soon as possible, and immerse the affected area with warm water.

When trying to treat the affected area with heat, the affected area could be numb and could possibly burn. Taking preventive action is in your best favor for extreme cold weather to cover the areas where frostbite is most common to form on your body.

Reminder you can enjoy winter but think safety first and cover up.

For more information on winter visit Flory Landscaping and Lawn Care on Facebook or visit www. florylandscaping.com.

Employees from the Sidney Kroger recently gave 200 snack bags to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County.

Business helps BBBS mentor kids DARKE CO. – The employees from the Kroger store in Sidney recently donated over 200 snack bags to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County to be used in their after school “Buddies” programs.

The funding comes at an opportune time for the agency, which is kicking off its 15th year of the after school “Buddies” program in six elementary schools in Shelby and Darke County. Big Brothers Big Sisters will serve around 180 children under the age of 18 through the after school program.

MITTENS FOR FISH

Library provides iPads for job search PREBLE CO. – The Preble County District Library recently received 25 iPads to expand job search skills to area residents. The iPads were purchased via a grant to Preble County Job and Family Services, who partnered with the library to provide technology to job searchers throughout the county.

Each iPad is preloaded with apps to help users build resumes and cover letters, and the wireless connectivity allows job searchers to ďŹ nd and apply for openings in the library. In addition to spreading the JFS job search capabilities across the county, it also, in essence, expands the hours job services are available to county residents.

Many PCDL branches are open until 8 p.m. some nights, as well as Saturdays, which will help job seekers who can’t make it to the JFS ofďŹ ce by the 4:30 p.m. closing time.

In addition to the iPads, which also have attached keyboards to make inputting resume information easier, JFS is also providing, via the library’s website at www. preblelibrary.org, two new databases with tools to build resumes and cover letters, match personalities to speciďŹ c jobs, and set up education plans for different career paths. Those online tools, Career Cruising and Career Transitions,

Students from Arcanum High School carry banners recognize the school’s annual Cancer Awareness Week.

AHS annual Cancer Awareness Week

ARCANUM – On Sep. 26, the Arcanum FCCLA (Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America) hosted its sixth annual Cancer Awareness Assembly and Walk. The week prior to the walk, students had activities each day to learn about cancer and to answer questions they might have.

The assembly brought both tears and laughs as guest speaker Deb Summers shared her story about her battle with breast cancer. After her presentation, all students

and staff walked outside with their banners raised high. Class competitions were held in the areas of best banner, hallway, and most spirited. The freshmen class won top honors followed closely by the sophomores. Juniors placed third and seniors came in forth.

The Victory Over Cancer walk was held after the football game that Friday. Luminaries were sold and lit in honor or in memory of a loved one.

Proceeds from a sale of the luminaries will be donated to cancer research.

Reid and RPA join new consortium RICHMOND, Ind. – Reid Hospital & Health Care Services and Reid Physician Associates (RPA) have joined an innovative program to help their patients maintain their health and improve access to their services.

The new program is called the National Rural Accountable Care Organization Consortium (NRACO), which, as the name states, is tailored especially for rural areas like those served by Reid and RPA. The Consortium will help Reid and RPA work with their medical community and with Medicare patients to help ensure they are given the right care, at the right time, in the right place.

Part of this new process will be to add additional care coordinators who will work closely with doctors and community resources to assist patients stay healthy, secure care when needed, avoid repetitive tests, and navigate the health care system.

The NRACO creates Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) in rural areas to permit health care organizations to participate in the Medicare Shared Savings Program.

Their goal is to manage the costs of providing care in a more efďŹ cient way while achieving the highest levels of quality, customer service, and patient satisfaction.

Program activities include setting up advanced care coordination programs to provide additional services to the most vulnerable patients, and promotion of population health and wellness.

Reid is already undertaking activities to prepare to become a Medicare ACO. Medicare patients may hear from a primary care provider who would like to schedule a free An-

nual Wellness Visit (no copay).

Greenville ends long time losing streak GREENVILLE – It was an historic night at the Greenville High School Tuesday evening.

For the first time in over 20 years, the Greenville boys varsity basketball team emerged victorious over their long time nemesis, the Trotwood Madison Rams.

The Wave battled back late in the fourth quarter to take the game into overtime after trailing the entire contest. With key plays from many of the Greenville starters and bench, including

numerous turnovers and rebounds by the Wave, Trotwood was unable to regain control of the tempo and the lead.

With a 69-66 victory, Greenville remains on top of the GWOC North with a (3-0) record in the division and (5-1) overall on the season. They travel east on State Route 571 to take on Milton Union Saturday evening.

BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER www.bluebagmedia.com UNION CITY, Ind. – The Dylan Williams Forever an All-Star Foundation recently donated a third Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to the Randolph Eastern School District. The newest device is mounted inside a case near the door of the elementary playground to give a quicker reaction time in the event of an emergency. The device makes the second in the elementary that Dylan attended before being struck by a baseball during all-star practice in July 2013 that caused a fatal cardiac arrest of the 8-year-old.

Since the tragic death of their son, the Williams family has donated 16 AEDs in hopes potentially saving a life during the critical few minutes after a cardiac-related episode. The foundation holds several fundraising events and always welcomes donations to go towards these life saving devices manufactured by Cardiac Science.

Dylan’s dad Erick Williams told The Early Bird

Pictured in front of new AED are Erick and Georgiana Williams with Dylan’s brother and sister; Derick, 13, and Brianna, 7; Randolph Eastern school RN Kim Neal and elementary Asst. Principal Patrick Neils. (Clinton Randall photo) that Troy Pflugner from Cardiac Science donated the new AED and case, valued at $2,500, following a Thanksgiving day fundraiser in Carmel, Ind. When giving Williams the AED, Pflugner stated, “this one’s for Dilly!”

“We are thankful for all the Williams family does,” said Randolph Eastern Elementary Assistant Principal Patrick Neils. “Having a second AED doubles the chances of saving a life. Hopefully we will never have to use

VERSAILLES – It was a tough week for the Lady Tigers as they rolled against the Coldwater Cavs at Olympic Lanes in Van Wert. Nerves affected the girls initially but they all came together and gave Coldwater a challenge.

The Tigers were ahead 69 pins heading into the five baker games. The first game was a victory for the Tigers 906 to 854. Leading the way for the Tigers in the first game were Hannah Niekamp (233), Megan Ward (212), and Makenzie Berning (187).

The remainder of the ladies all contributed as they were subbed in and pulled through when needed.

The second game was also won by the Tigers 892 to 875. The best bowlers of this game were Brooke Condon (229), Megan Ward (189), and Hannah Niekamp (176). Heading into the baker games Coach Phlipot warned the girls that the lanes were changing and drying out and to keep their focus as Coldwater is a great baker team. They continued to put up a fight during the baker games but Coldwater was on fire racking up 3 out of 5 of the baker games with a score over 200. The final baker scores were Coldwater 984 and Versailles 727.

Unfortunately this became the first loss of the season for the Lady Tigers with a score 2525 to 2713.

“The girls really fought to the end. We faced a tough team and credit needs

to be given to Coldwater ringing in such high scores in the baker games while heading into them with a deficit. This was a great learning experience for the girls and they should all keep their heads held high,” said Coach Phlipot.

The girls will be back in action on Jan. 3 rolling against Mississinawa Valley at Speedway Lanes in New Breman. If you want to follow the Tigers progress with stats go to www.

Cookbook supports Reid’s patient care

Over $2,000 was raised to support the Brethren Retirement Community’s mission.

Holiday Bazaar a huge success GREENVILLE – Brethren Retirement Community’s Auxiliary hosted another successful Annual Holiday Bazaar on Nov. 1, in the Brick Room. As in years past, it was filled with unique gifts, handmade treasures and home-baked items and many shoppers looking for Christmas gifts. Additionally, the Auxiliary offered a delicious soup and sandwich lunch.

The Auxiliary members, volunteers and residents put in many hours of hard work to ensure that the 46th Annual Holiday Bazaar was a success. The planning for this event takes a team many hours of organizing, pricing, working with vendors, baking, and setting up before the event takes place. Once the

doors open, even more volunteers are needed.

For their effort, this event generated $2,203.31. Profits generated from the Holiday Bazaar support the Brethren Retirement Community Auxiliary and their efforts to fund essential needs at Brethren Retirement Community; over the years they have supplied many needed items that have an impact on our residents’ quality of life.

Thank you for your support of the Auxiliary and Brethren Retirement Community, Darke County’s only not-forprofit continuing care retirement community.

For information about becoming a vendor or a volunteer, contact Janet Ashworth, 547-7682.

Gloria Harpest of Greenville National Bank with Andrea Jordan, Executive Director of the Darke County Center For the Arts; Greenville National Bank is a sponsor of The McCartney Years.

GNB supports McCartney Years GREENVILLE – Darke County Center for the Arts recognizes Greenville National Bank as a sponsor of the special event The McCartney Years.

“Greenville National Bank’s sponsorship donation helps make it possible to present high quality performing artists in our hometown,” said Andrea Jordan, executive director of DCCA. “We appreciate Greenville National Bank’s support of the Arts and their commitment to making these opportunities available and affordable in our community,” she concluded.

The Coppock-Hole Trust also sponsored this DCCA special event. Additionally, the Ohio Arts Council helped fund this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural

enrichment for all Ohioans. DCCA also receives operating support from the Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial as well as funding from the Ketrow Foundation and Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund.

RICHMOND, Ind. – A little bit of this and a little bit of that, and a lot of volunteer hours created a wonderful cookbook by Reid Hospital volunteers.

The project to make and sell cookbooks as a fundraiser began in June when a committee was formed by the Reid Auxiliary Board. Committee members Elsie Bragg, Romaine DeLucio, Patsy Goble, Kay Karn, Joan Martin and Leanna Reid asked volunteers to share their favorite recipes for inclusion in the cookbook.

This is the first cookbook put together by the Reid Auxiliary volunteers and the first fundraiser of this kind taken on by the group. None of the committee members had ever worked on a cookbook project before. “They just put their heads together and came up with a plan to collect, print and assemble the books,” said Becky Jewison, director of Volunteer Services.

After some creative collaboration, they decided to call the book, “A Little Bit of This-N-A Little Bit of That.”

Most of the recipes were all different, however there were a few duplicate recipes which include the names of both who submitted it. There are two mother-daughter pairings represented in the book—Jane Retz and her daughter, Penny Scales, and Mildred Ryan and her daughter, Kay Karn.

Goble typed the 250 recipes at home and sent the files to the Volunteer Services office.

The cover was produced

by Reid’s Marketing department and printed by a local printer. DeLucio, Martin and Reid proofread all of the entries. Goble, Bragg and Karn printed, cut, holepunched and bound 564 copies. They worked on assembling the books in batches of 25 with

each batch taking about three hours.

The group hopes to make about $5,000 which will be donated to support hospital services. “The Reid Auxiliary has donated over $2 million dollars to the hospital since its inception in 1948,” said Jewison.

Other fundraising events carried out by the Auxiliary include a bake sale with items donated by volunteers and sales events from outside vendors who donate part of the sales to the Auxiliary. These have included books, jewelry, candy and Dillard’s Department Store.

The committee is pleased with the results of their hard work. Not only is the cookbook itself a great resource for tried and proven recipes, but the process was very rewarding as well.

While all of the committee members are active volunteers, they had never worked together on an assignment. They enjoyed getting to know

each other and appreciated the opportunity to create something with input from many of Reid’s 300 adult volunteers.

Early sales of the book have received

positive comments. “A Little bit of This-N- A Little Bit of That” is available for $10 in the Ginkgo Boutique, Reid’s gift shop on the main campus of the hospital.

GREEN SPEAKS TO CLUB

UNION CITY – Lion Tim Green was the program for the Nov. 11 meeting of the Union City Lions Club. He is retired from the military and worked extensively in Government Intelligence.

Tim shared about the nation’s intelligence community and how it collects, organizes and uses information. It was a very interesting and informative program. Lion Tim is shown with President Sam Farrington.

GREENVILLE – Jeremy Jacob Eshbaugh, 15 year old son of Jamie and Matthew Eshbaugh, of Greenville, was recently awarded the rank of Eagle Scout. Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouts of America.

Jeremy passed his district Board of Review on Oct. 23. He is a member of Greenville Troop 134, which is sponsored

by First United Methodist Church. He is also a Brotherhood member of the Order of the Arrow.

One of the highlights of Jeremy’s Boy Scout career was he had the privilege of attending the first national Scout Jamboree held at the Summit

Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia in the summer of 2013.

For his Eagle Scout leadership service project Jeremy built two 30 foot benches at Matt Light’s Chenoweth Trails. Jeremy, with the assistance of other scouts, friends and family, mined and debarked by hand black locust trees from the surrounding forest on the facility. The logs were then cut to size and used as the main supports for the benches. After being cemented into the ground, recycled plastic lumber was installed for the seating and back supports. Planning, fundraising, developing and execution of the project

Franklin Monroe taps NHS members PITSBURG – Franklin Monroe High School recently announced the new members of the National Honor Society for the 2014-2015 school year.

Members are Syndey Bowers, Haley Robinson, Karissa Hundley, Audrey Aslinger, Morgan Monnin, Madison Schlamb, Shania Baker, Carrie Baker, Morgan Bingham, Reed Denlinger, Morgan Booher, Landon Peters and Daniel Wiseman.

Franklin Monroe and the more than 16,000 chapters in schools across the nation strive to

give practical meaning to the Society’s standards of scholarship, leadership, service, and character.

These four ideals have been considered as the basis for the new member’s selection into the Franklin Monroe National Honor Society Chapter.

Students are not inducted simply because of a high academic average. The FM National Honor Society strives to recognize the total student – one who excels in scholarship, service, leadership and character.

Lastly, Jeremy would like to thank Matt Light, Nick Schuckman and Brian Rehmert for their support and cooperation. They were there throughout to offer assistance and suggestions on how to improve the project.

A Court of Honor will be conducted in December for friends and family to celebrate Jeremy’s achievement.

Marketing and admissions and outreach professionals from approximately 20 agencies, mostly from Darke, Miami and Shelby counties, were in attendance. The group of health care professionals is called “Serving Our Seniors,” explained Mindy Stebbins, Business Development Director for State of the

Heart. “We meet monthly as a way of networking and keeping informed about what each of us is doing,” she added.

A light breakfast was served, door prizes given out, and considerable sharing of upcoming events and new developments at each agency explained. “We had a good turnout of our various partners,” Stebbins added. “These sessions are informative and help keep us on the same path for providing the best care for senior citizens in our communities.”

Farm equipment rolled into Franklin Monroe High for the annual TractorCade.

FM FFA observes Farm Safety Week PITSBURG – Several thousand dollars worth of tractors rolled into Franklin Monroe High School during Farm Safety Week—six pieces of agricultural equipment in all. Their investment was to promote safety on the farm, both today and in the future.

The annual TractorCade, which is held to celebrate National Farm Safety Week, ends a week of safety activities for members of the Franklin Monroe FFA Chapter. “Our purpose is to promote farm safety on and off the farm,” said Franklin Monroe FFA President Katey Fuson.

“We are hoping by recognizing this week and promoting safety, we can help to reduce accidents during this busy harvest season.”

Fuson said National Farm Safety Week is

more than showing off tractors to friends and neighbors as members paraded tractors in front of Franklin Monroe High School. It is planting the seed of safety into the minds of the community.

“This is the FFA’s way of promoting safety in a positive way,” Fuson said. “I enjoy seeing all the tractors, of course, but it really says something when you see this many kids come together and want to promote safety.”

Fuson said the need to practice safety, while sharing the roads with farm implements and motorized vehicles, is a year round practice motorists need to remember. “National Farm Safety Week is just that –a week. Safety should be practiced year round though,” she said.

Candlelight Dinners a huge success

Lynn Blakeley, YMCA Wellness Coordinator, leads the class in Zumba fitness during the final session of the series. Participants were encouraged to take advantage of the free Y membership they earned and become more active as a way to improve their health and wellness.

Y is helping local residents live better GREENVILLE – The YMCA of Darke County recently offered a free Diabetes Education series, “Helping You Live Better.”

Participation was open to any interested community members.

Topics covered cooking and nutrition, exercise, heart health, foot and eye care, and medication management.

Millions of Americans today are facing unprecedented, chronic health conditions, including high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and type-2 diabetes. This health crisis sheds light on the need to provide our community with resources and support to live healthier, noted YMCA of Darke County CEO Sam Casalano.

“It is our hope that participants gained a greater understanding of the lifetime benefits of eating right, getting physically active, and

gained education on diabetes prevention in order to reduce their risk of developing diabetes, or to have the skills necessary to live successfully with the disease if they are diagnosed,” said Casalano.

For those who successfully completed the eight-week series, The YMCA rewarded their efforts with a free YMCA membership, in order to provide further, ongoing support to class members in making longterm positive wellness and lifestyle modifications.

As part of the Y’s ongoing commitment to improving the health of our community, the Y plans to offer the diabetes education classes again in the spring of 2015. You may call the Y for more information at 548-3777 or visit www. ymcadarkecounty.org to get current class and YMCA information.

Community responds to ‘Christmas Comfort’ campaign GREENVILLE – A Greenville couple that recently lost all their belongings in a house fire received a little “Christmas Comfort” Dec. 24. Joy FM and the Red Cross of Darke County partnered for the donation campaign to aid the McDonald family after losing everything they owned in a Dec. 15 fire at their rental property on Wagner Ave. in Greenville. Joy FM’s Connie McCabe (volunteer) and Jeni Billenstein (Office Manager), along with Lynne Gump, and other American Red Cross volunteers were with the McDonalds

to help unload the very full “Joy Van” Wednesday at the couple’s new residence.

Christmas Comfort was Joy FM’s campaign to help those in our community who lost everything to a fire. The American Red Cross screened the family and then contacted Joy FM to have their listeners donate items the family that needed replaced and were not covered by insurance. Joy FM acquired a list of items the McDonalds needed and with the help of the wonderful listeners and the community the family received everything from

dog food, dish drainers, blankets, kitchen supplies, cleaning products, Crockpots, food, dishes, silverware and soap, to name a few.

“The out pouring of support from the community was amazing and God really was working through this campaign,” said Billenstein.

Some others that helped with the campaign were Naomi Cantrell (Joy in the Morning Host), Dan Franks (General Manager and Mid Days Host) and Rick Gutheil (Work Day Wrap Up Host).

Children hear about Santa; get last minute wishes GREENVILLE – How does Santa get up and down BOB chimneys?

ROBINSON “He uses Associate Editor bluebagmedia.com compression dust. It makes him small enough to get down the chimney, then big again.

That’s how he gets all the toys in the sleigh for his trip Christmas Eve.” How does he fly? “Aviation dust! It only lasts 24 hours but that’s all the time Santa needs to get around the world and back to the North Pole.”

Christmas has come and gone, but likely not in the minds of many

Darke County children.

When they pause from playing with their toys, a few from Mrs. Ruhenkamp’s first grade class at Woodland Heights might remember a recent visit from a special guest. He said he is one of Santa’s Helpers (he asked to remain anonymous). There are two in Darke County.

Their job is to help Santa determine his naughty and nice list and get any last minute requests.

Have you ever been to the North Pole? “No. I’d like to, but I’ve never been invited.”

The students were curious and asked a lot of questions… Where did

Students stayed focused despite preparing to head out for their two-week Christmas break.

Santa get his elves? “Orphanages.” What does Santa feed his reindeer?

“Lemmings, arctic fish, birch and willow leaves… mushrooms.” Why is Rudolph’s nose red? “No one really knows. But they have to put in fresh batteries every year.”

Some students from Mrs. Ruhenkamp’s class, plus those of other teachers, had last minute requests. They included books like “Pete the Cat,” makeup, softballs, soccer balls, a robot and more.

Those were “wants.”

Most teachers worked to help students differentiate between ‘wants’ and ‘needs.’ Some of the needs included a book bag, a pillow, socks and a bed. One student really wanted a horse; another really wanted a car for four people.

Were all students on the “nice” list? In some cases, Santa had to take the child’s word for it: “I been a really good girl can you bring a horse for me?” In other cases, the child told how he or she has been good… “I helped my mom with the laundry and have been doing my work at school.” The child adds, “I know that

Mrs. Ruhenkamp’s first graders got to hear how Santa handles his annual Christmas Eve trek around the world in 24 hours.

I am on the nice list this year.” Another student says “I listen to my teacher at school and it is fun at school.” One student was good everywhere… at home, school, friend’s house, even at grandpa’s house.

One class was concerned about Santa’s weight, so they drew pictures of things Santa could do to get the extra pounds off. They had

Santa doing all kinds of activities, including weight lifting, basketball, jumping jacks, treadmill, running… probably the best idea came from a student who simply wanted him to eat healthy.

According to Santa’s Helper he does exactly that. “Santa eats so many treats when he makes his Christmas Eve run he can gain as much as 50 pounds!” Wow!!! This

astonished the first graders. “The rest of the year Mrs. Claus makes him go on a diet… you know, the good stuff like fruits, veggies and cheese.”

Santa brings children gifts every year. One student wanted to know what to give Santa for Christmas.

“Your good wishes.

Be nice to people. That would make Santa very happy.”

East Christmas decorating competition stiff GREENVILLE – “We’re kind of competitive around BOB here,” said ROBINSON Cindy Rose, Associate Editor bluebagmedia.com physical education teacher at East Intermediate School. “It was everybody’s idea… I came up with the point

system and got the judges.”

The competition was “Deck the Halls.” It could be just the doors, the wall next to the door or both. There were four categories with no directions provided: Most Christmas Spirit, Most Creative, Funniest and Overall Best. Overall

Mrs. Gibson’s fireplace entry was judged the Most Christmas Spirit entry. (Bob Robinson photo)

Best could be from any category… whichever entry got the most points, “Some teachers got the children involved, others did it on their own,” Rose added. There were 25 entries. The judges were Eileen Litchfield, former school board member and community volunteer, Fred Mattix, school board member, and Kurt Garrison, Greenville Safety Service Director.

The Most Christmas Spirit winner went to Mrs. Gibson for her fireplace on the door entry, Most Creative to Mrs. Strawn for her Igloo, Funniest to Miss Rose for her TuTu Healthy Miss Claus. The overall winner was Mrs. Strawn’s Igloo. Above the door were the words “May you have warmth in your igloo, oil in your lamp and peace in your (symbol) heart.”

Worthy of note (and second place Funniest)

Mrs. Strawn’s Igloo was the Most Creative decoration; also the overall winner out of 25 entries.

(Bob Robinson photo)

was the decoration with kids wearing Santa hats and their mouths open.

The caption said “Deck

the Halls with Crunchy Crickets,” then “Science is delicious.” Each child had a cricket in his or her

mouth.

“I’ve been told they were vanilla flavored crickets,” Rose said.

Greenville students fill program volunteer need GREENVILLE – The Greenville Back Pack ProCLINTON gram is usuRANDALL ally in need Staff Writer bluebagmedia.com of volunteer groups to help assemble and deliver packages to K-4 students for weekend snacks and dinners that may not be available to them at home.

Now, Program Director Lori Hunt will not have

to worry about volunteers for the rest of the school year thanks to the girls of the Careers with Children class at the Greenville High School.

According to the class’ teacher, Amy Schoen, after the girls helped with the Back Pack Program one time, “they wanted to do it every time.” The junior and senior students have elected to

donate their free time to gather at the Grace Resurrection Community Center, on the corner of Boston and East Water Street in Greenville, monthly to help sort the packages that they then deliver weekly to the Woodland Primary and East Intermediate schools in Greenville for qualified elementary students.

Myers helped from procedure at Reid RICHMOND, Ind. – Don Myers began having problems with his heart when he was serving as senior pastor of Greenville Congregational Christian Church. As much as he loved being in ministry, some aspects of the work seemed to aggravate his condition. “My heart tended to go out of rhythm when I felt emotional, such as when I’d ofďŹ ciate at a special wedding, or when I was doing a lot of speaking,â€?

Myers said. “It would beat erratically, and afterward my legs would be very weak, and I’d feel dizzy and worn out.

Sometimes I’d forget where I was, as if I had had a mini-stroke.�

Myers was diagnosed with atrial ďŹ brillation, and began seeing Robert Fleming, M.D., a Reid cardiologist, for care. He retired from the pulpit in 2001, but his condition worsened, even with medication. “I was starting to feel desperate—my wife and I are very active, and this heart issue was a real problem!â€? explained Myers, 78. “A lot of people I knew had undergone surgery in Dayton for a-ďŹ b, and they were really not happy with the outcome. I just kept

putting it off.�

Finally, Myers’ daughter Kathy, who works as a nurse at Reid, told him that he had to see Dr. Vuy Li, an electrophysiologist at Reid, to talk about radiofrequency ablation.

This minimally invasive procedure uses heat to “deactivateâ€? nerve endings that are causing the heart to misďŹ re. “Dr. Fleming had already talked to me about the procedure, and Kathy said Dr. Li’s patients were having a lot of success,â€? Myers explained. “I knew it was time, so I made an appointment.

Dr. Li was so knowledgeable and conďŹ dent that ablation would help me. I decided to go ahead with it, and was I glad I did.â€?

The procedure took place in February 2014. “In the eight months since, I have traveled, taught Sunday School and ofďŹ ciated at weddings and funerals— and I haven’t had one episode of a-ďŹ b,â€? Myers said. “My heart has held out beautifully. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t even think about it anymore.â€?

Myers and his wife, Dodie, walk every day, raise golden retrievers and travel frequently

Pictured with the members of the Fort GreeneVille Chapter are U.S. Marine PFC Douglas E. Dickey’s brothers, Norman and Dennis Dickey, both of whom are veterans.

DAR helps at Dickey ceremony GREENVILLE – On Nov. 14, Garst Museum unveiled the official Display Congressional Medal of Honor awarded posthumously to U.S. Marine PFC Douglas E. Dickey of Ansonia in 1967. Dickey earned the medal for heroism dur-
