Holmes will run for commission GREENVILLE – The race for the presidential primaries and general election in 2020 is heating up, but the national and state election won’t be the only part of the ballot that will affect area residents. Darke County residents will have the opportunity to choose a representative to the Darke County Commission.

Although the primary election is eight months away, at least one candidate has announced their desire to serve local residents as a commissioner.

Larry Holmes, of Greenville, recently announced he will run as a Republican for the seat that will begin a four-year term in 2021.

“I’m reaching a point in my life and career where I can maybe give back to the community,” said Holmes.

“This is something back in the early 2000s that I thought would be something fun to do when I got the opportunity.”

Giving back to the community isn’t new for Holmes. He has a long list of boards where is presently serving or previously served. Greenville residents

Holmes

may recognize him from his service on the Greenville City Schools Board of Education where he served for nearly 12 years.

Approximately half of his time on that board was as its president. He currently serves on the Darke County Community Improvement Corporation, Darke County Historical Society, Darke County YMCA, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke County, Financial Executives International – Dayton Chapter, and Jay County Economic Development Corporation.

Before he sought the position, Holmes did his homework to see what was involved. He admitted he was a little surprised at See HOLMES | 3A

we went to a sacred acre that he enjoyed.”

Morris commented on the number of people in attendance and called it “incredible.” He said, “Obviously we’re all sad by the sudden loss of our friend, recent graduate, Tri-Village student Austin Bruner. Yesterday in conversation with Austin’s family, they shared with me how much he loved Tri-Village and this community. And with this crowd that stands here right now, it’s very evident how much Patriot Nation loved Austin Bruner.”

He shared, “We constantly seek to understand why bad things happen to good people and the only overriding conclusion I can come to is our human understanding is never going to bring us peace. As human beings we

have a voracious appetite to figure things out in order to gain a sense of mastery over our lives. The world presents us with endless sets of problems and as soon as we master one set another set pops up and gives us a new challenge. The relief that we sometimes find when solving something is very short lived.”

Retired Pastor Carol Duffield said she spent a lot of time with Austin and his family, but she was instructed by the family not to say she was sorry. “Austin was a believer,” she said. She shared the verse John 3:16 and said, “That is the hope we hold onto this night. As hard as it is, Austin is okay.”

In his prayer, New Madison United Methodist Church Pastor David Richey said there was “excitement

Police find knives, drugs on non-responsive man DRUGS

On July 27 officers were dispatched to the 200 block of Tillman Avenue regarding a suspicious person who was sleeping in the yard on the side of a house. Officers found a male subject identified as Jack Daniels slumped against a basement window well cover that had broken from his fall.

After several verbal commands and taps on his foot, Daniels woke up but was disoriented. He was unsure of where he was at or how he got there.

Due to Daniels’ altered mental state, police requested Greenville Township Rescue respond to the scene. While waiting on rescue to arrive, Daniels kept placing his hands in his front pockets. Officers asked him to keep his hands out of his pockets for safety reasons. When Daniels kept putting his hands in his pockets, the officers asked him if he had anything they should know about. Daniels admitted he had a knife, which he began to retrieve.

An officer stopped him

and explained he would retrieve the knife. The knife, a black switch blade knife with approximately a 4-inch blade, was retrieved. Also located in his left front pocket was an uncapped syringe.

Greenville Township Rescue arrived on scene and after assessing Daniels, it was determined he had to be transported to the emergency room for further medical attention. Rescue personnel requested the backpack Daniels was wearing be checked prior to transport for safety reasons. Daniels took the backpack off and handed it to officers, who located several items, including a silver switch blade, a knife with sheath, a red container containing 13 gel capsules filled with a white powder believed to be heroin, a small baggie containing a solid crystal substance believed to be methamphetamine, a small baggie containing one round white pill and fragments of another, and a silver spoon possibly used for the preparation of the narcotics. When officers asked Daniels about

the items he admitted that one small clear baggie did contain methamphetamine. When asked about the contents of the red container, Daniels said he didn’t recall what was inside. All the items were taken as evidence and transported to the police department. The 13 gel capsules containing the suspected heroin as well as the clear bag containing the crystal substance was sent to the Bureau of Criminal Investigation laboratory for analysis.

OVERDOSE

signs of overdosing, he went inside a residence and called 911. When he came back outside he said he found Louk had become un-responsive.

The complainant said he pulled Louk out of the driver’s seat and laid him on the street. The complainant also told officers he did not know where the needle was at that time. Officers looked in the van to try and locate the syringe involved in the overdose. The found a glass pipe with a white powdery substance in the stem inside Louk’s duffle bag. Also found was a prescription bottle without a label. After Greenville Rescue revived Louk with four milligrams of Narcan, a needle was found in the driver’s side door.

Louk was asked about the items officers found in the vehicle. Louk told officers the needle did not have anything in it, and that he has a prescription for the pills. Louk said he uses the glass pipe for “oil slicking.” The recovered items were taken to Greenville PD as evidence and placed into property for safe keeping. Charges, in this case, will be pending upon the results of the lab analysis and also the investigation of the pills found in the unlabeled prescription bottle

On Aug. 2 officers reported to the 100 block of Meadow Lane on the report of a suspected drug overdose. An officer found Robbie Louk lying in the street beside the driver’s door of a vehicle with the complainant standing over top of him talking on the phone.

The complainant told the officer Louk had passed out most likely from from heroin. After seeing Louk was still breathing, the officer performed some sternum rubs to try and get Louk to respond. During the process of doing the sternum rubs the officer was able to see a fresh and bleeding puncture wound on his arm.

The complainant told the officer he had been sitting in the vehicle with Louk WANTED PERSON and witnessed him inject with a hypodermic needle.

On Aug. 6 an officer When Louk began to show was dispatched to the 200

block of Tillman Avenue on the report of a wanted person. Upon arrival two officers made contact with the complainant, who explained Antonio R. Allen had been staying at her residence. Officers gained permission to enter the residence and located Allen in a bedroom. He was placed under arrest for an outstanding warrant through the Greenville Police Department for assault and also for a warrant issued by the Adult Parole Authority in reference to a parole violation. He was transported to the Darke County Jail.

JUVENILE COMPLAINT

On Aug. 3 officers received a juvenile complaint from a parent who said her son left the residence the day before and had not returned. Prior to leaving the residence, the mother said she told the juvenile not to go to the Triangle and to be home at a specific time.

She later received a text message from her son stating he was at the Triangle and he would talk to her about it when he got home. The mother later received another text message from her son, stating he was on his way home. She told police her phone died after receiving the last text message. On Aug. 3, at approximately 1 a.m. the parent noticed the phone had died. When

the phone was charged, she found another message from her son asking to be picked up on Washington Avenue. The son also had called twice. The mother told her son he would have to walk home.

She told officers she was able to locate her son through Snapchat, which showed him in the area of Washington Avenue and Armstrong Street. Officers picked up the juvenile at that location and when they asked him why he didn’t return home, he said his phone died after he asked his mother for a ride home. The officer transported the juvenile to his residence and released him to his mother. He was charged with being an unruly juvenile.

which he admits is different from private industry.

“From the outside looking in,” he said, “it looks like there’s some opportunity to have better relations locally with county and city and village officials, maybe even with county staff as well as communications at the state level. Everybody has their own opinion, but I believe I can bring some positive influence.”

He feels Darke County is in a “reasonably good spot” economically, but

“there could be more that could be done. Part of it is positioning your community in a way to be attractive and be open to the opportunities come to you.

Some of that is seeking those opportunities.” He cited the efforts that are currently taking place with workforce development, as well as the NextGen group that is studying what the county and city need to offer in order to attract and keep youth in the community. “We haven’t arrived, but we’re in a good spot to

move forward,” he said.

Coming from private industry to county government, Holmes believes some of the strengths he brings are strategic planning, effectively securing and deploying resources, and how to respect and structure the leadership within the organization are just a few of the area.

“This is the community where I was raised and where Carol (wife) and I chose to raise our family. I very much want to see the community, county-wide

be successful, and I would like to be part of that,” he said. Holmes is a Greenville High School graduate and earned an M.B.A. in Financial Administration from Wright State University.

He and his wife have four children, Heather, Bart, Geoff, and Kent, as well as five grandchildren.

HELP US FIGHT FOR JUSTICE www.equaljusticetour.com Christianity is under attack like no time in American history. Although the argument can be made that America was not founded as a Christian nation, there can be no doubt that it is a nation that was founded by Christians. Today, Christian values and Christian beliefs are rapidly being banished from every sector of the American society.

Whether you admit it or not, most Americans are no longer standing.

Thank God American’s veterans did not think that bowing their knee in protest was a sign of strength. Those who made America great bowed to pray and then stood to fight.

Sadly, Christians are the ones who are least likely to stand their ground.

The American way of life hangs in the balance, and now is the time for Americans to remember how to stand. Now is the time. We either stand up now, or we will bow our knee to the forces of darkness.

The Scripture’s tell us to STAND. “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”

It is high time that millions of American’s just like me enlist in the battle for this nation. Come out of the closet, Christians. And Stand!

Expanding Farm to School WASHINGTON D.C. – U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) joined his Senate colleagues last week in introducing bipartisan legislation to get more fresh, locally grown foods in schools across the nation. Brown joined Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-VT), David Perdue (R-GA) and Susan Collins (R-ME) in introducing the Farm to School Act, which would expand the farm to school program for schoolaged children by making significant investments in the program. Companion legislation was also introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by Representatives Marcia Fudge (D-OH) and Jeff Fortenberry (R-NE).

“Ohio farmers grow some of the best produce in the country,” said Senator Brown. “This legislation will increase nutritious, locally grown foods in our school lunchrooms while strengthening farms and rural communities across the country.”

The Farm to School Act would raise the program’s authorized level from $5 million to $15 million, and increase the maximum grant award to $250,000.

The bill also sets the stage for action as Congress begins the process of reauthorizing child nutrition programs. This legislation would also help grantees improve procurement and distribution of local food, and expand the scope of the program to include

pre-schools, summer food service and after-school programs.

The farm to school program is administered through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and authorizes federal grants to help schools across the country plan and implement farm to school programs. Right now, grant applications have exceeded the funding available for the program.

USDA has received more than 1,900 applications requesting over $141 million since 2013. But less than a quarter of the grant applications received for the program can be funded each year.

The Farm to School Act is supported by a number of national organizations and advocacy groups, including Ohio State University, the National Farm to School Network, the National Education Association, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, FoodCorps, the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture and the National Farmers Union.

Brown has been working to get more locally grown foods in school lunchrooms. Brown introduced the Kids Eat Local Act with Sen. Collins in July to help increase schools access to locally grown foods by providing flexibility around the use of geographic preference in the National School Lunch Program.

Streamlining tax code in Ohio COLUMBUS – Rep. Jena Powell (R-Arcanum) is joint-sponsoring a bill with Rep. Derek Merrin (R) to streamline the Ohio tax code. At their direction, the Legislative Service Commission identified errors in the tax code, of which 125 are corrected

The Joint Legislative Committee on Adoption Promotion and Support will ensure citizens are informed of Ohio’s adoption options. The Committee will review any matter that it considers relevant to the adoption process in Ohio, with priority given

to the study or review of mechanisms intended to increase awareness of the process, increase its effectiveness, or both.

“There are over 2,600 children waiting to be adopted in the state of Ohio, and over 1,000 of these children are teenag-

I’ve already been told that I’m still going to be paying. The conversation went like this. “You’re still going to put gas in my car, aren’t you?” said my youngest. “You have a job, why do I need to put gas in your car?” Her response, “You still pay for gas in my sister’s car. Are you going to treat me differently?”

We’re already in the hole with her new job. We had to put in the $50 needed to start her checking account and we’ve paid for her gas so she could go to work this week. I asked if we were getting the $50 back when she got her first check. My youngest looked at me like I had three heads. My wife said she could use the $50 to pay for gas.

Greenville Early Bird

Coach Hale beating the odds ARCANUM – Hall of Fame Coach Greg Hale, a name well known in Darke County high school sports circles continues to beat the odds in a seven year battle with cancer.

“I’m a fighter and the Good Lord is the only one that knows when my time is going to expire,” said Hale, “Until then I’m going to fight like heck to be around as long as I can.”

Hale is battling stage four Renal Cell Cancer, a rare disease with fewer than 200,000 US cases per year with a five year life expectancy.

“The survivability of stage four Renal Cell Cancer is eight percent,” Hale noted.

“I am starting year seven so I have beat the odds – I wouldn’t go to Vegas on eight percent.”

Coach Hale continues to leave his coaching mark on

Darke County sports having coached football at Bradford and Arcanum and continues to assist with Arcanum football while coaching the Bradford powerlifting team.

A graduate of West Carrollton High School, Hale went on to play offensive line for Bluffton University while studying History and Secondary Education; graduating in 1985.

Hale’s first stop was teaching three years at Upper Sandusky before moving to Bradford in the 19881989 school year where he coached the Railroaders football team until 2002. A call from Arcanum Coach Jason Shondelmyer had Hale taking a four-year coaching position for the Trojans football program.

Following his stop at Arcanum, Hale took some time off from coaching football while his son Curt ran cross country and was lifting for the Railroaders powerlifting team, a team led by Coach Hale.

“My son Curt lifted for me,” said Hale. “He’s a three time State Champion in powerlifting at Bradford.”

Following Curt’s graduation, Hale returned to coaching football at Bradford, one season with Gary Miller and then Curtis Enis.

“I was with Curtis through 2013,” Hale said. “I found out I had cancer in 2012 and I had a couple surgeries. I gave it up for a couple years and then came back and coached a year at Bradford.

Then I came to Arcanum with Coach Schondelmyer three years ago.”

“Last year I was just so sick I couldn’t coach,” continued Hale. “I came out here for about two days and I was so sick. I had to have two surgeries. I had cancer in my tailbone a year ago so I just gave it up. I just told my wife I’m probably done.”

Coach Hale is an inspiration to coaches and players alike as he continually makes attempts to attend football practices along with plans of

coaching the Bradford powerlifting team this year.

“I love football,” he said.

“Physically I can’t do it anymore and to be out here, just be around the kids is great. I stopped over at Wittenberg when they were at camp. I was coming back from Columbus, from James (James Cancer Hospital) and stayed there for about an hour. It was getting hot and I had to go. I’m good for about an hour and that’s about it right now.”

“They found a soft tissue mass in my leg. They put a rod in my femur two years ago and some of the bone is starting to deteriorate. I go over and see a radiologist on Wednesday and I think they are going to do some radiation on my leg, hopefully shrink that mass and I’ll be feeling better.”

“It’s gotten harder and harder,” Hale said of attending football practice. “I have to use a walker to get around right now because they don’t want me putting any weight

on this leg. When I was over at Wittenberg three weeks ago I was using a cane.

They just don’t want me to break that leg because if it breaks, they said surgery is the last resort. I have open wounds on my leg from the auto immune disease that I got from the medicine I’m taking. The doctor said I am three times more likely to get an infection and if my leg got infected, if he did surgery, I could lose my leg and I don’t want that.”

“If I could be out coaching I would, but physically I just can’t be. August, September,

October is just too much of a grind anymore. Three hours a day, six, seven days a week – I can’t do it anymore.”

“A year ago I got into the Miami Valley Football Coaches Football Hall of Fame,” said Coach Hale.

“Coach Schondelmyer nominated me – it was pretty good to end a career that way.”

“I’m still here, I have a wife, five kids and nine grandkids I want to be around for,” concluded Hale. “If I can come here to practice, watch practice – it scratches my itch.”

Shepard returning to Spartans Football pads and hitting here

By Gaylen Blosser DarkeCountyMedia.com

GREENVILLE – Maddie Shepard will be returning to Manchester University for her second year of soccer for the Lady Spartans.

“I really like the school up there,” said Shepard. “I really like my soccer team.

It was just another rebuilding year with the coach coming in that was only her third season. We are getting into a routine so hopefully this year we’ll get better results.”

Shepard was a four year starter and captain for the Greenville Lady Wave soccer program is well on her way to becoming a four year starter for Manchester University.

“When I wasn’t hurt I was a starter,” Shepard noted.

By Gaylen Blosser DarkeCountyMedia.com

GREENVILLE – The Greenville High School football team took advantage of the first day of full pads and hitting with two practice sessions.

“Today is the first day full-go for all of our players that played the acclimation period,” said Greenville head football coach Bart Gaylen Blosser |DarkeCountyMedia.com Schmitz. “It was pretty Lady Wave alum and Manchester University Lady Spartans starter exciting this first practice Maddie Shepard makes a stop at the goal to keep the Greenville with the amount of conalumni’s team shutout intact. tact.

“This has been a hard working group of kids that have handled everything that we’ve thrown at them with great pride,” continued Schmitz. “They have just taken pride in what they do right now.”

“This upcoming Tuesday we have Celina at home,” said Schmitz, “and Friday Coldwater comes to town.”

Greenville has a Tuesday, August 13 home scrimmage scheduled with Celina at Harmon Field with a 10 a.m. start time and a Friday, August 16 scrimmage vs Coldwater at Greenville starting at 10 a.m.

The final tune-up for both Greenville and the Versailles Tigers takes place Thursday, August 22 at Versailles when the team’s play in the annual Jamboree.

Varsity soccer beats alumni More than just football

By Gaylen Blosser

By Gaylen Blosser

GREENVILLE – The Greenville varsity boys soccer team defeated the alumni squad 4-1 in the annual Boys Alumni Soccer Showcase in a Saturday night match at Harmon Field.

“It was very good night,” said Greenville varsity boys coach Mark Coppess. “The boys have been working very hard – tonight it showed. The atmosphere this year is awesome.”

Ben Davidson got the varsity boys on the board at 13:36 in the first half for a 1-0 lead only to have 2014 GHS alum Aaron Wise knock in a first half goal at 8:34 to even the match at 1-1.

Davidson drilled his second goal of the night at 2:30 in the first and nailed his third goal with 1:33 showing on the first half clock to send the teams to the halftime break with the high schoolers leading 3-1 over the alumni team.

Miles Gordon took advantage of a Xavier Maitlen assist to score the lone goal of the second half giving the Greenville Senior High School varsity boys soccer team a 4-1 win over the alumni team.

“We went to Cedarville for three days and they learned a lot there,” Coppess said. “We learned a lot about the team and got some comradery working. We worked a lot of

ARCANUM – To Arcanum head football coach and Athletic Director Jason Schondelmyer, football is more than just football.

“This is the time of year you learn to grow together and you become tighter as a family,” said Schondelmyer. “You learn to trust the group and trust each other.

This is a great time of year kids are out and its football – its football season.

We have Coach Couch (offensive and defensive line coach) here leading us in a little Trojans jacks, so there is a lot of energy with the kids.”

The veteran Arcanum coach understands the responsibility of teaching more than just the X’s and O’s of the game.”

“Football teaches life lessons – that’s what it is,” noted Schondelmyer. “I think people lose sight of that. People get caught up in other areas of it, but this is what it’s about. I think it is so important now days, kids learning how to when you get knocked on the ground, learning how to get back up.”

“I just had a talk with the team this morning about adversity,” Schondelmyer continued. “I said the true mark of a man is when things are going bad – how do you respond.

That is what football teaches you. It’s not all going to be a great experience at

team building things.”

“We’ve been working hard two a days,” added Coppess. “We have a great attitude, a great atmosphere coming with the team this year. It’s a lot like it was my first year here with that group of seniors. That group was an awesome group and this group this year has that same intensity. It’s going to be an exciting season.”

The Greenville junior varsity team fell to the alumni team 5-1 in the nightcap match. The GHS alumni took a 4-0 lead to the break before the JV squad would play the second half to a 1-1 standoff with Ethan Coppess knocking in a second half goal for the high school JV team.

“There are a lot of freshmen on that team,” Coppess said. “A lot of first time guys so it’s different for them, but I’ve seen a lot of good things.

A lot of those guys are

going to contribute this year and help.”

Coach Coppess was not only pleased with both the varsity and JV’s play, but the large number of participants from the former Greenville soccer players as the soccer program continues to show improvement.

“We keep trying we do things with the middle school,” stated Coppess.

“We keep trying to grow things and make it public.

It shows with 34 alumni coming back and playing.

Brent DeVoss started that years ago. We’ve always had a great alumni and we try to carry on that tradition. A lot of these guys have been through me now so I’m starting to get some of my alumni back in here - it’s awesome to see.”

times. There is going to be some very hard times and that develops character. I believe that’s what young men need. They still need that today. They need to be somebody who when times are tough are going to step up and be a leader and that’s what we are looking for.”

Coach Schondelmyer is quick to point out the relationships built on the football field building a fraternity lasting a lifetime.

“With football, guys 10-15 even 20 years and more removed, you go to your class reunions, it’s the football guys, they all come together,” stated Schondelmyer. “You find a guy, for instance, our coach who lost his house in the tornado in Brookville. It was our group of guys that

coached with him and have played with him that came out of nowhere.”

“We’re driving from all over parts of Ohio to help out and that’s what football is – it is family,” Schondelmyer added. “We just don’t talk about it, we actually do it. We’re here to help you after you graduate and we want you to become an outstanding citizen once you leave our program.”

“Greg Hale is out here coaching too,” concluded Coach Schondelmyer.

“He’s fighting cancer seven years now. He’s been fighting cancer and he’s over there in his truck right now. Once again, the family thing. He’s going to be watching practice from the truck, so we’re glad to have Coach Hale – great guy.”

Great turnout for park opening File photo

Sidewalks dominate council meeting GREENVILLE – Sidewalks continue to be an issue for Greenville City Council to consider. On Tuesday, Safety Service Director Curt Garrison continued to look for direction after presenting an outline for an ordinance that would give the city direction in determining if a sidewalk would need to be replaced.

If adopted by council, the city would move a step closer in requiring residents to repair or replace sidewalks that are in disrepair. The city has already divided the city into 10 phases with the first phase expected to be completed in 2020. The first phase of the project includes areas inside Walnut on the west, Tecumseh on the east, East Water Street on the north to Fifth Street on the south.

Councilman John Hensley challenged some of the requirements determining a faulty sidewalk.

The proposed ordinance would deem a sidewalk in disrepair if there was a difference in the slabs greater than a half-inch. “Is there a particular reason why one-half of an inch? The properties I have on Wagner Avenue, it seems like all of them are going to be replaced.” Garrison said they looked at several deviant possibilities and one-quarter-inch seemed “picky.” Garrison said, “It’s at whatever number we want to set. So that’s a starting point.” However, the city would have to abide by the requirements set forth by the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act).

Hensley also argued there should be an opportunity for property owners to appeal the decision that a sidewalk is in disrepair.

The proposed ordinance does have a section for appeals, but it is mainly for appealing differences in cost or the amount of work done. Garrison believes another area of the ordinance would address Hensley’s concern, but not a formal appeal. If they questioned whether or not a sidewalk was in disrepair, the city’s administration would go out and have a conversation with the property owner and

explain why the sidewalk was marked to be repaired or replaced.

City Auditor Roxanne Willman previously suggested that assessments go no longer than five years, but Hensley believes the length of the assessment should be increased when the cost of the project reaches a certain level.

Willman was unsure how that could be accomplished.

“We don’t like to bring legislation before council without their prior knowledge,” said Garrison in seeking to determine if the administration should continue with the project.

A majority of council members expressed an interest to move forward with finalizing the ordinance and presenting it to council for a vote.

Council also expressed an interest in moving forward with a project to repair sidewalks and install conduit for acornstyle lighting on Third, Fourth and Fifth streets from Walnut to Sycamore. The city originally planned to do the repairs as part of a project to install stamped concrete on South Broadway, but council expressed an interest to install the decorative lights along the side streets. In order to make this possible, council members have initially agreed to assess the cost of the sidewalk repairs to the property owners on the side streets. If approved, the repairs, conduit and bases for lights would be installed this year and the lights would be purchased with funds from the 2020 budget. Councilman Clarence Godwin was the only council member to announce that he would not vote in favor of the assessment.

Council also learned issues with the Dollar Tree and the Wagner Avenue expansion project have been resolved and the city’s administration will be moving forward with that project.

Also, Phillip Pierri, founder of the YOLO Urban Park, expressed an interest to begin the process of deeding the park over to the city.

GREENVILLE – The sun was shining and the temperatures were perfect for getting a little wet when the YOLO Urban Park officially opened on Friday evening. Hundreds of people filled the park at the corner of South Broadway and Martin Street to enjoy the festivities. There were a few that chose to get their feet wet in the water feature.

Visitors enjoyed free hot dogs and brats from GNB Banking Centers, snow cones, and popcorn, as well as music from the Green de Villes, games, and a movie.

Phillip and Jodi Pierri and Matt Steyer, founders of the park, were there to welcome visitors and offer a thank you to everyone that contributed to building the park.

When looking out over the crowd that had come to the opening day event, Phillip said, “It’s overwhelming. The time we’ve spent on this park has probably been about five years or so and we’re finally getting to this point is extremely overwhelming.”

Steyer added, “I’m just super excited to be out here with everybody enjoying this. I think it’s overwhelming the support of the community and just shows all of the great positive things we can do here together in Greenville.”

Kids enjoyed the water feature during the opening of the YOLO Urban Park.

Phillip had no idea it would take this long for their dream to come true.

“The project just grew so much. We never realized how much was involved with it. We’ve learned a lot these last five years.”

Steyer said, “We might have got this going down the path, but everybody came along and helped push it down the path. It’s great when you surround yourself with great people and do things together you can make some really great things happen.”

They could not have accomplished their goal without community support and he was quick to point out every donation from a $1 to $100,000 was important. “Zechar Bailey is our main supporter and really the company that got us started. When we start-

ed going out and letting everybody know our idea there were so many businesses that gave us over $10,000. When we talk that number - it’s a commitment for those businesses. We are grateful for every single donation – even a $1 donation,” Phillip said.

Steyer added the con-

ceptual drawing from Jeff Baker, designer, was more than they could have ever imagined. “It’s neat to see something go from paper and see what it looks like in real life and not much changed. It’s hard to believe that this was a parking lot and a Hamburger Shop.”

In addition to receiving a certificate signed

by State Fire Marshal Jeff Hussey and Chief Thompson, Sophia also received a Smoke Dog stuffed animal.

Upon receiving the award, Greenville City Council was joined by guests in the gallery in giving Sophia a standing ovation.

The fire was believed to be electrical in nature and Eric said they continue to be very conscience of fire safety. At Sophia’s urging, the family makes sure things are unplugged each night before they go to bed.

Tire Recycling Day nearing GREENVILLE – Tired of looking at those old tires lying around? Not only are they an eyesore, they can be dangerous. The Darke County Solid Waste District and the Ohio EPA want to help you with your tire problem. The district and EPA will be sponsoring a used tire collection on Wednesday, Sept. 25, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

In addition to tires to being an eyesore, they are a nuisance to rural citizens who find them in their ditches, out in the fields and wooded areas.

Used tires make the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes that can carry diseases such as West Nile Virus, Zika, Lascrosse Encephalitis, St. Louis Encephalitis, Dengue and Yellow Fever.

Some mosquitoes have long-lived eggs, which can remain unhatched for years in old tires that were once wet and have dried out.

The eggs can be transported in tires that are trucked between counties, states and even countries. When it rains, these tires collect water, wetting the inside of the tires where the eggs once were deposited, hatching out mosquitoes by the thousands. By disposing of used tires properly, we reduce the chance

of disease.

The Tire Recycling Day is open to all Darke County residents, farmers, municipalities and townships. Unfortunately, no tires will be accepted from junk yards or junk dealers, garages, auto repair shops; tire, automobile, truck, farm-equipment dealerships; ATV/motorcycle shops or commercial trucking/hauling businesses.

Those interested in participating in this one-day event must pre-register.

Pre-registration begins Wednesday, Aug. 28, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Darke County Solid Waste District, 684 Wagner Ave, Suite C, Greenville (behind Edward D. Jones and Sidney Dental; 2 doors North of KFC.).

Pre-registration ends on Wednesday, Sept. 11.

Participants must provide a valid driver’s license or state-issued identification and sign a waiver that the tires being brought for recycling are from a residence in order to participate. On Sept. 2, the district will be closed due to the Labor Day holiday.

Participants are asked to remove rims from all tires before taking them to Rumpke Transfer Station at 5474 Jaysville-St John Rd, Greenville, on Sept.

25. Those tires left on rims will not be accepted. Passenger tires will be accepted at a $1 a tire. However, there is a limit of 15 tires per Darke County resident and/or address. Tractor tires pre-registered will be charged a $15 fee per tire at the time of registration.

Tractor tires larger than 28-inches wide will not be accepted. Semi/truck tires pre-registered will be charged a $5 per tire fee. Payment is due at the time of sign-up in the form of cash or check. At this time, they cannot accept credit cards.

According to the Ohio Revised Code, all tires must be secured and tarped before arriving at the transfer station unless they are in an enclosed vehicle, trailer, etc. Untarped loads can be refused. Also, the Ohio EPA requires a transporter’s permit for those hauling more than 10 tire at a time.

Assisting the Solid Waste District and Policy Committee will be Community Service workers, the Environmental Division of the Darke County Health Department, Darke County Engineer, Darke County Highway Garage, Rumpke employees and many volunteers.

The Annie Oakley Festival was once again, a huge success as we celebrated our 56th year! The Annie Oakley Festival Committee would like to thank everyone who attended during the 2019 Annie Oakley Festival. We meet throughout the year, to work together, to offer to everyone, a festival that is growing bigger each year, is a free festival to attend, is full of lots of entertainment and activities to enjoy, and honors Darke County’s most famous daughter, Annie Oakley. We hoped that throughout our weekend of activities, Annie Oakley would be proud of everything that took place to honor her. I am sure that she would be very proud of our new 2019 Miss Annie Oakley, Madison Werner.

The Annie Oakley Festival would not be possible without the help of a lot of people who stand with us in honoring Annie Oakley. We would like to thank the following sponsors who helped make the 2019 Annie Oakley Festival possible: Fraternal Order of Eagles #2177 of Greenville (sponsored entertainment), Whirlpool Corporation (Kitchenaid) (sponsored advertising), Harry D Stephens Memorial Inc (sponsored the Historical Bus Tour, American Western Arts Showcase, and the Melodrama), Second National Bank, City of Greenville (sponsored the Annie Oakley Parade), The Annie Oakley Center Foundation (sponsored the 2019 Miss Annie Oakley Shooting Competition), Greenville Federal, Premier Health, Greenville Door Sales, Wayne Builders Supply, Hartzell Veterinary Service (sponsored the Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association (CMSA)), Wayne Healthcare, Greenville National Bank, Dick Lavy Trucking (sponsored the Kiddie Tractor Pulls), Francis Furniture, Fram Group (sponsored the Annie Oakley Parade), Jim Buchy, Phelan Insurance, Norcold (sponsored Family Fun Day), Jafe Decorating, Edwin Nickol, Mote & Associates, the Law Office of Rudnick & Hosek Ltd (sponsored the 2019 Little Miss and Mr Contest), Pet Valu and the Moose of Greenville (sponsored the Weiner Dog Race and Costume Contest), and Classroom in a Box who donated our new signs this year.

We would also like thank the Darke County Fair Board for again, allowing us to use the grounds for our 2019 Annie Oakley Festival, and for many more years to come!!

It gives us the ability to look at ideas for the future and how we can continue to grow.

Thank you so much!! We would like to also thank the following people and companies for what they did to help us: Gregory Peck Sound, for setting up sound for the festival and parade, and giving us equipment for the various events, The Early Bird and Bluebag Media and the Daily Advocate for all of the advertisements and releases that you did for us and helping to promote the Annie Oakley Festival, Rapid Printing for printing all of our literature this year, Dave Knapp for providing us with vehicles for the parade, Harry Birt’s Store for the candy for our games, Helens Flowers for the flowers for the shooting contest and wreath for the pilgrimage, Karen Chronister for narrating the Bus Tours, Wolf Tent for the numerous tents that we needed for various entertainment and other tents needed

on the grounds, Waymire Barns for the use of your barns for Headquarters, Souvenirs, and Melodrama, Carts and Parts for the use of golf carts for committee members, City of Greenville and the Ham Radio Association for the man power to help with the parade this year, Farmers State Bank employees, Greenville Instrumental Boosters, and Community Service Workers for helping park cars, and helping around wherever needed, you did a great job!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

We thank our entertainment, Country Harmony, Sereena Barga, Spittin’Image (Blain & Brian Swabb), Jeff Hittle, and Joseph Helfrich who each brought wonderful music to our festival.

You are another fantastic form of entertainment, that people from all over come to see. Harry Ballangee and the National Fast Draw Competition, thank you so much for always coming and bringing this wonderful competition to our festival. We always enjoy coming over and watching. To all of those who came from all over for the Annie Oakley Car Show, we thank you for sharing your love of fabulous vehicles with everyone there. To the Kiddie Tractor Pullers, thank you so much for providing a fun time for the kids that attend. It is always a blast to watch them work so hard move that tractor down the track.

The Weiner Dog Races were another huge hit, and we thank all of those who brought their dogs out for the race and the costume contest.

The Swinging 8’s Square Dancers were a new addition this year that people enjoyed watching and participating in. To the ANNIE OAKLEY FESTIVAL COMMITTEE, I cannot say Thank you enough!! You all helped put this festival together and without each and everyone of you, this festival would not have happened. I AM PROUD TO BE A PART OF THE ANNIE OAKLEY FESTIVAL COMMITTEE AND FOR HONORING ANNIE OAKLEY THIS WEEKEND! Once again, thank you to all who attended.

BPW issues challenge to members GREENVILLE – The Greenville Business & Professional Women’s Club (BPW) June 13th meeting was hosted at the Brethren Retirement Community by the newly elected officers President Deb Smith, Vice President Kasey Christian, Secretary Karen Sink, Treasurer Vicki Cost and Assistant Treasurer Leigh Fletcher.

President Deb Smith asked each attendee to write down two or three items they are passionate about on a note card. Each person was told to keep these items posted

in front of them and to take steps to help them achieve their passions throughout the coming year.

A focus on health and wellness will be one of the themes for the upcoming meeting year.

In accordance with this theme, members voted to change their normal second Thursday of the month meeting date from Sept.

12 to Sept. 19 so members would be able to attend the Wayne HealthCare Women’s Health event which is scheduled on Sept.

12. The Greenville BPW Club will host a booth at this event

The hotel will be available for booking to both their clients and to the community. They will be breaking ground this August and will begin taking reservations in October for their June 2020 Grand Opening. Follow along with them on their journey at www.innatromers. com or on Facebook.

This boutique hotel is located on the northeast section of their Romer’s Catering St. Henry property and features: * 25 hotel rooms and a check-in office (18 double queen rooms and seven queen suites) * Two stories (12 rooms plus office on first floor and 13 rooms on the top floor) * Each room will have a relaxing back patio or balcony with a beautiful view overlooking the St. Henry baseball diamond The hotel is located across from South Park, next to the St. Henry Athletic Complex and is within walking distance to local food and beverage establishments.

“We have had many requests from our wedding clients through the years for a hotel on-site for their guests convenience and safety. After seeing how wonderful and appreciated our Westlake Villas have been for our

wedding and business guests and the surrounding community at our Celina location, we really wanted to be able to provide the same service and convenience at St. Henry. We knew it would be great for wedding guests, people coming into the area to visit, and for Eldora race fans.

Although, it wasn’t until we heard back from the survey we conducted with area businesses that we realized there is quite a demand during the week also which helped us to make the decision to build the hotel. I think it is going to be a wonderful addition and asset to not only Romer’s Catering guests, but also for all the surrounding communities. A hotel in southern Mercer County is something that has been needed for quite some time and we are excited to be able to provide wonderful lodging and service for everyone,” said Jason Romer, owner of Romer’s Catering.

“This will be a wonderful hospitality asset for southern Mercer and northern Darke Counties. Visitors have few lodging options in that area. “The Inn at Romer’s” will be a great place to stay whether visitors are there for a wedding, a festival, a race at Eldora or just to visit the area. The Romer family has been entertaining, feeding and welcoming visitors for decades and The Inn at Romer’s will be another wonderful extension of that hospitality,” said Donna Grube, executive director of Greater Grand Lake Region Visitors Center.
