Commissioners answer concerns on airport project

Davidson wins Darke County

Annie Oakley Barn unveiling set for June 15

DARKE COUNTY – As of May 31, five hangar ten-ants at the Darke County Airport had yet to produce proof of insurance or sign leases with the county com-missioners. In April, those five tenants - along with four others who have since complied - received notice that they were to conform with the FAA-generated policies or face eviction.

According to county business administrator John Cook, eviction no-tices were going to be sent out June 7 from the county prosecutor’s office.

One such tenant, H.A. DeHays of Cygnet, Ohio says he has several griev-ances with commission-ers’ requests and late last month penned a letter to the “citizens of Dark (sic) County” outlining his is-sues. The letter was re-ceived by The Early Bird.

According to the letter, DeHays says he is now the “spokesperson for the Dark (sic) County Airport Han-gar Tenant Group.”

According to Commis-sioner Mike Rhoades, to his knowledge, no such group exists. A majority of DeHays’ letter consists of unvalidated claims.

“An airport advisory

GREENVILLE – Trav-elers along U.S. 127 north of Greenville will notice a new barn painting begin-ning the week of June 13.

As part of a project be-ing spearheaded by the Darke County Visitor’s Bureau, the Garst Muse-um and the Ohio History Connection, Scott Hagan, known as The Barn Artist, will be painting an Annie Oakley Barn starting Mon-day, June 13, with a public unveiling set for 4 p.m. Wednesday, June 15.

The barn is located on the Bob and Donna Pe-ters Homestead at 10313 Greenville-St. Marys Road, Ansonia.

According to Matthew Staugler, executive direc-tor for the Darke County Visitor’s Bureau, the idea to paint a barn in honor of Annie Oakley began last fall.

“We put it out on Face-book that we were look-ing,” Staugler said. “We invited people to send in their pictures of barns. We wanted a visible location.”

Staugler called the Pe-ters’ barn along U.S. 127 a “perfect spot. It gets great traffic, great visibility.”

board member called me (upon hearing of DeHays intent) and said not one of them want any part of this,” Rhoades said Wednesday.

In the letter, DeHays questions the role he says Rhoades played in the airport’s plans to ex-pand, the purchase of a $60,000 maintenance tractor from a company for which Rhoades was a sales representative, and the “whereabouts of some $2 million the county received from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to lengthen the runway and install electronic naviga-tion equipment.”

Rhoades said the pur-chase of the tractor was known and approved by county officials and that although he was a sales rep for the company the equipment was purchased through, his name did not appear on any of the trans-actions.

“I was cleared,” Rhoades said, of any wrongdoing that was suspected in the purchase.

As for the commis-sioner’s plan to expand the runway and make perma-nent improvements to the airport with FAA fund-ing, commissioners have presented a financial plan titled “Runway Threshold Relocation” to FAA offi-cials. The 17-page plan in-

$915,396 and the FAA pro-vided $823,855 in grant funding. The county’s share was $91,541.

2013 – The county received a FAA grant for reimbursement for four parcels of land that had been originally purchased by the county for the air-port. The total project cost was $92,446. The FAA provided $83,201 in grant funding. The local share was $9,245. This project has been closed out and fi-nal payments were made.

2012 – The coun-ty received a FAA grant for preliminary design of Chase Road improve-ments in order to close State Road 242 west of the runway because the road traverses the Runway Pro-tection Zone and appears to be a slight obstruction to a 20:1 approach slope from the existing threshold loca-tion. The FAA decided not to proceed with the work before the project was com-plete. The total project cost was $31,062 and the FAA provided $27,956 in grant funding. The local share was $3,106. This project also has been closed and final payments made.

2011 - The county received a FAA grant for reimbursement for two parcels of land that they purchased for airport use from Joe Henry. The total

cludes a written summary and numerous charts indi-cating proposed work flow and costs for airport reno-vation, as well as a 10-year capital improvement plan for FY 2017-2026.

According to the report, several projects have al-ready been completed dur-ing the past five years with the FAA funding already received by the county. The following points are taken from the report:

2015 – The coun-ty was originally going to purchase the remaining through-the-fence proper-ty owned by the Midmark Corporation. However, Midmark decided late in the year that they were not ready to discuss sell-ing their land. The county carried funds over for use in 2016.

2014 – The county received a FAA grant for acquisition of the main through-the-fence opera-tor at the airport, the Spill-ers family. They owned five parcels of land north of the county property that contains the runway and parallel runway and provided aircraft hangars maintenance, and other services. All public services were provided by the Spill-ers from their property be-cause the Midmark prop-erty is for corporate use. The total project cost was

DARKE COUNTY – Troy businessman War-ren Davidson will fill the unexpired 8th Congres-sional District seat vacated by John Boehner last fall. Boehner held the position for 25 years.

Davidson was elected during Tuesday’s special election and will serve out the current tern through December. In November, his name will again appear on the ballot to run for the same seat with a new term starting in January 2017.

In Darke County, War-ren received 83.23 percent or 2,115 votes, with James J. Condit Jr. receiving 2.36 percent or 60 votes and Corey Foister getting 14.40 percent or 366 votes.

The 8th Congressional District serves the counties of Darke, Butler, Miami, Clark, Mercer and Preble.

Voter turnout was low across the state. In Darke County, there were 2,551 votes cast – 7.5 percent of the 33,624 registered vot-ers.

Hagan is a well-known barn artist from Jerusalem, Ohio. He also participated in the Ohio Bicentennial Barn project, which in-cluded painting one barn in each of the state’s 88 counties.

Staugler said one of Hagan’s recent projects was painting a barn in honor of Ohio governor and the 19th United States President Rutherford B. Hayes, along the Ohio Turnpike in Sandusky County.

“Hagan is very experi-enced in this,” form of art,

Staugler said, explaining after he learned the Ohio History Connection also wanted to recognize An-nie Oakley, the decision was made to move forward with the barn project.

“It all came together re-ally fast. It’s perfect tim-ing,” Staugler said, noting that the barn will be com-plete before several Darke County summer events, including Annie Oakley Sidewalk Days which is July 28-31, Annie Oakley Days set for July 29-31 and the Darke County Fair, Aug. 19-27.

project cost was $189,052, with the FAA providing $179,599 in grant fund-ing. The local share was $9,453. This project has been closed and final pay-ments made.

County commissioners have attempted to contact DeHays to meet with him and discuss his concerns. As of Wednesday, June 8, he had not answered their calls nor acknowledged re-ceipt of an eviction notice.

As of Thursday, June 9, according to DeHays, a professor at Bowling Green State University, he said he did receive a message on one of his “studio phones” late one evening, but did not respond because the message “did not say what the meeting was concern-ing.”

DeHays also said he had yet to receive an eviction notice, but had requested through Cook for an ex-tension on the proof of insurance matter. DeHays said purchasing “a million dollars in insurance had been unobtainable” due to the fact his aircraft “was in parts.”

In his letter, DeHays also states the unhappy hangar tenants were plan-ning to “engage services of legal counsel.” On Thurs-day, June 9, DeHays said the matter had been for-warded to the Aircraft

Owners Pilots Association and the FAA Attorney Gen-eral’s Office.

“By Ohio law, we must work through the airport advisory board and airport manager,” DeHays said. “We will be making a re-quest to meet with the ad-visory board.”

“We’re doing everything the FAA has requested for us to do,” Rhoades said, noting that the majority of hangar tenants were “hap-py we’re doing what we’re doing” as far as the airport project is concerned.

In his letter, DeHays also questions why han-gar tenants should comply with the commissioners’ and FAA requests when “more than half the han-gars were used to store aircraft that they were in no condition to fly or to be transported, that some hangars were used to build experimental aircraft and some tenants who do not accept this junor (sic) style of management are going to move their flyable air-craft to other airports.”

According to commis-sioners Rhoades and Mike Stegall, proof of insurance is required no matter what airplane parts or other items are being stored in the hangars, in case of a fire or other emergency, “they have to be respon-sible,” Stegall said.

Domestic On June 6, an officer

leaving the police depart-ment to assist another offi-

cer on a call heard a female screaming and crying. The officer drove to the 300 block of South Broadway

thinking the screaming was coming from a fight. The screaming was found to be coming from a female in a parking lot on West Third Street. The woman had abrasions and blood on her right knee and her face. The male, later identified as Wil-liam Pollard was ordered to stand with his hands on the officer’s cruiser. The squad was requested for the in-jured victim. Pollard was placed in cuffs and placed inside the cruiser. Poland told the officer a couple of times the victim tripped and fell. Poland appeared to be slightly intoxicated. The vic-tim told the officer she and Poland were driving and got into an argument. She stopped the vehicle on Syca-more off West Third Street because she did not want Poland to come back to the house. The victim got out of the vehicle and told Poland if he did not leave her alone she was going to walk to the police department. Poland shoved the victim causing her to fall to the ground. She was transported to Wayne ER. Poland was arrested for domestic violence and was transported to the county jail. Poland had a previous arrest for domestic violence but it was reduced to disor-derly conduct.

TheftOn June 3 officers re-

ceived an alarm at Koenig Equipment and upon arrival found a door had been pried open. A search was made of the building. No one was found. Keyholder Jeremy Fine arrived on scene and advised the only things missing were three blowers. Fine told officers there was a security camera and another employee would take a look at the video then will con-tact the police department so they can review the tape. No suspects or witnesses were noted at the time of the incident.

On May 27, an officer was dispatched to the Greenville Street Department in refer-ence to a theft complaint. Upon arrival the officer spoke with Matt Myers, who explained a couple of his employees were working in the park the week prior and they had two weed eaters and one backpack blower stolen possibly from the bed of one of their trucks while it was parked in the swim-ming pool parking lot. They didn’t initially realize the equipment was stolen and have no suspects. No other leads at this time.

DisorderlyOn June 2, an officer was

called to the 1000 block of Front Street in reference to a damaged cell phone. Zach-ary Geiger reported his cell phone was damaged by Sky-ler Houpt. While en-route, dispatch advised that Houpt and his girlfriend, Cassandra Jay were at the Front Street address and were reporting Jay had been assaulted by Geiger. The officer spoke with victims, Houpt and Jay and noticed Jay had red-ness with a small laceration on her left jaw/chin area. Houpt’s mother, Michelle Benton who lives at the Front Street residence also was present and witnessed

the altercation. Houpt and Jay reported the three sus-pects Geiger, Ronnie Jones and Noah Smith began yell-ing at them, due to an earlier verbal altercation, which oc-curred between all parties in the 200 block of Twelfth Street. According to the re-port, Geiger then kicked Houpt and Jay’s dog in the front yard and continued to swear and taunt Houpt and Jay into fighting along with Jones. Houpt and Jay then walked to the end of the yard near Front Street where they confronted both Geiger and Jones about their dog being kicked. At that time, Geiger punched Jay in the face several times with a closed fist causing injury. Houpt stepped in to protect Jay and was subsequently attacked by both Geiger and Jones. A fight ensued before Houpt said Jones displayed a pocket knife. Houpt was able to run back to the resi-dence. 911 was called. The suspects fled the area. The officer asked about Geiger’s cell phone. Houpt and Jay said during the altercation, the cell phone fell to the ground and broke. Houpt, Jay and Benton said Noah Smith stood by and was not involved in the verbal or physical altercation. Jay was subsequently transported to Wayne ER by Greenville Rescue for treatment. The officer made contact with the three suspects at an-other Front Street residence and found all three intoxi-cated. Geiger was issued a misdemeanor citation for assault. Jones was issued a misdemeanor citation for (M4) Disorderly.

DUIOn June 4, a vehicle

pulled out in front of an of-ficer while traveling west-bound on East Main Street. The officer noticed the vehi-cle was traveling 5 to 7 mph under the speed limit. The vehicle swerved in its lane with the driver’s side tire on the line of the marked lane. The officer continued to fol-low the vehicle noticing the driver failed to use the left hand turn lane to make a turn. A traffic stop was ini-tiated. The officer found the defendant, Aaron Smith, in the driver’s seat, Conner Davis in the front passenger seat, and Nathan McClain in the rear of the car behind the driver. There was an odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. The defendant’s driver’s license was found to be valid. The officer no-ticed the defendant’s pupil’s were heavily dilated, he was slow and deliberate in his movements, and his speech was heavily slurred. An-other officer arrived on the scene and the defendant was asked to step out of the ve-hicle to perform field sobri-ety tests. While standing on the sidewalk, the defendant appeared to be swaying back and forth. The defendant performed poorly on 2 of the 3 tests. The defendant in-ferred he smoked some mar-ijuana earlier in the day. The officer believed due to how the defendant was acting he had smoked marijuana more recently and was placed un-der arrest for OVI. Before he was transported back to the

Greenville PD he asked for his keys from his car. When officers went to get the keys they noticed a ceramic pipe located on the passenger’s side floorboard near Davis’ feet. The pipe had a strong odor of marijuana and a burnt green leafy vegetation and residue inside. At this point Davis and McClain were asked to step out of the vehicle and were placed in a squad car while the car was searched. Officer found two small torn baggies that had an odor of marijuana under the front passenger’s side seat, along with small pieces of green vegetation near the torn baggies. The vegetation was not enough to collect. A metal pipe was found in the pouch located on the back of the driver’s seat. The pipe had a strong odor of mari-juana and a burnt residue inside. The two pipes were taken as property. Davis and McClain were taken to their houses where they were released to their parents. Smith was transported to the Greenville PD where he agreed to give a urine test. The pipes and urine will be sent to the Miami Valley Re-gional Crime lab for a drug and toxicology analysis. The defendant was issued a cita-tion for OVI, marked lanes and drug paraphernalia. The defendant was released from the Greenville PD to his father, Jeffery Smith.

FightOn June 5, an officer was

dispatched to the 100 block of East Third Street in ref-erence to a fight at the FOE Eagles. The officer made contact with victims Joshua Baker and Deborah Beyke. Beyke was located on the floor near the bar claiming her head hurt. Greenville Township Rescue was dis-patched to the scene where they transported Beyke to Wayne HealthCare in refer-ence to a head complaint. The officer also made con-tact with witnesses Morgan Bannon, Jason Fisher and Angela Reece. All witnesses wrote out statements of the incident. Baker advised that he was assaulted by Travis Stocker and Bradly Stock-er. An altercation ensued around the bar. Video sur-veillance will be viewed from the FOE Eagles. The video will be reviewed. Charges for disorderly conduct are pending for Travis Stocker at this time. Charges of as-sault also are pending for Bradly Stocker. Charges will

be filed On June 5, an officer

was dispatched to Danny’s Bar in reference to a fight in progress. Upon the of-ficer’s arrival the fight was over but subjects involved were outside the bar on the sidewalk. Another officer was already on scene and was speaking to the suspect, Gary Williams III. An of-ficer also started speaking with several other people in the area to find witnesses to the fight. The victim, Donald Smith approached one offi-cer and said he was punched after trying to break up a fight inside Danny’s. The of-ficer recognized Donald as a Danny’s employee and he also had on a Danny’s “Staff” shirt on. Smith was asked who hit him and he looked around and pointed at the suspect, Gary Williams, who was still speaking with an officer. Other subjects in the area, Bill Glasscoe and Ryan Pool, said they witnessed the fight. They informed officers Smith was hit by Williams after he was trying to break a fight up. An altercation ensued between several pa-trons of the bar. The officer spoke to Williams about the incident and he said he was trying to protect his family. It was reported one partici-pant was his step-brother and he felt like one of the suspects was going to hit him with a cue ball. Williams admitted he did not see the cue ball but was told one suspect had one. Williams also did not have any vis-ible injuries at the time. The officers attempted to make contact with a couple other people involved but were unable to do so. The fight occurred within 1000 feet of St. Mary’s School. Williams was cited for disorderly con-duct for engaging in fighting and turbulent behavior.

Wanted Person On June 8 an officer was

dispatched to Wayne Hospi-tal in reference to a wanted person. The suspect, Nicho-las Neal was found in the ICU. Neal was released from the hospital at which time he was placed under arrest for an outstanding warrant for attempted theft. Neal also had a second warrant for his arrest for failure to appear on disorderly con-duct and criminal trespass charges. Neal was trans-ported to DCSO Jail where he was incarcerated and held without bond and must serve 89 days.

ANSONIA – Moody Auto Sales LLC/gas sta-tion closed Thursday, June 9, but Dennis and Paula Moody plan on keeping Moody’s Auto Service open indefinitely.

According to Dennis and Paula, the car lot and Paula’s Dinner will close in a couple of weeks.

“We’re selling every-thing on the corner,” Moody said of the proper-ties located at the corner of

State Routes 118 and 47. Dennis and Paula

Moody have owned the businesses on the corner for five years. The service portion of their business was started in 2001 and will remain.

Dennis said he’d heard several rumors about clos-ing two of his businesses and selling the property that were not true.

“We’ve got too much going on and not enough

time for our family, which is our top priority in our lives right now,” the cou-ple said. “It’s all in God’s hands. We are family-ori-ented and have kids and grandkids we want to spend time with. We want to be able to close for a day or two and spend time with our family. We’ll keep running the service.”

Young joins Beltone Hearing & Audiology GREENVILLE - Bel-

tone Hearing & Audiology is announcing Dr. Kylie M. Young, Clinical Audi-ologist, as an addition to their staff.

Beltone Hearing & Audiology has been pro-viding hearing care for Darke County in down-town Greenville for more than 50 years. Donald J. Hosfeld, Jr., owner, with his wife Lucille P. Hos-feld, Clinical Audiologist,

are excited to expand their audiology and hear-ing health care to include two full-time Doctors of Audiology.

“Dr. Young has been completing her clinical rotation at Beltone for the past two years and she is a great fit in our organiza-tion. Not only is Kylie one of the most competent clinicians I have worked with but her bubbly per-sonality and caring na-ture will help us improve on our 95 percent patient satisfaction rating for professionalism, friendli-ness, knowledge and car-ing staff,” says Dr. Hos-feld. “At Beltone Hearing & Audiology we strive to help patients with special needs improve their com-munication ability with the most advanced tech-nology by being attentive, friendly, and patient. We have known Dr. Young since she was a child and have watched her grow into a professional young woman that embodies all these qualifications to im-

prove our patients’ lives.”Young was born and

raised in Darke County. She was diagnosed with a severe hearing loss at the age of four and has been wearing hearing aids ever since. She graduated from Ansonia High School and then attended The Ohio State University, graduat-ing in 2012 with a bach-elor’s degree in speech and hearing science. She

then traveled to Ball State Uni-versity where she graduated with a doctorate in au-diology in May 2016. Young com-pleted her clinical competency, both full and part time, with Beltone Hear-ing & Audiology. During that time, the former Kylie Knick married Kyle Young, also of Darke County, and the two pur-chased a home in the area. Young is very down to earth, friendly,

and outgoing. She is eager to meet and help mem-bers of the community to promote the importance of hearing conservation and early identification of hearing loss.

Beltone Electronics, headquartered in Chi-cago, IL, has been manu-facturing hearing instru-ments for more than 75 years.

Beltone Hearing welcomes Dr. Kylie Young as a member of their team.

READERS WRITEThis is our local YMCA:

As individuals and as community, we are fortunate to call Darke County home. We have available to us many outstanding resources that enrich our lives and that pro-vide the opportunity to develop our physical, mental and spiritual well-being. One of these outstanding resources is the YMCA of Darke County, where each of these three areas of our lives can flourish and are indeed the essence of the YMCA focus in our communities …. that focus being “Youth Development ~ Healthy Living ~ Social Responsi-bility.”

For over 50 years, the YMCA of Darke County has been making a meaningful difference in the lives of community members through wellness programs, childcare, sports and camp experiences, swim lessons and water safety courses to thousands of kids, and character building op-portunities for children and adults alike. But perhaps the most meaningful difference the YMCA makes as a mem-bership organization in our community is that the “Y is for everybody”. The YMCA is committed to making mem-bership available to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay.

This inclusiveness approach to membership for ev-erybody allows the YMCA to fulfill its mission of building strong kids, strong families and strong community’s right here in Darke County. I had the privilege and pleasure to observe first hand this mission in action during my tenure as Executive Director of the YMCA of Darke County from 2003 to 2009; and I am happy to see that the commitment to this mission remains as strong today as it was then.

The commitment to keeping membership and program fees affordable for those in need is made possible through the family financial assistance program which is support-ed by the generosity of YMCA members and community partners with funds raised through the YMCA Annual Support Campaign.

This year’s annual campaign is in full swing; and to-day, we all have the opportunity to help other members of our community enjoy the YMCA experience and to dem-onstrate in a tangible way that we are for what the YMCA is about.

Over the course of the campaign as you may be ap-proached; please join me with your financial support For Youth Development ~ For Healthy Living ~ For Social Responsibility.

Say no to HSUS, defend agricultureIn west-

ern Ohio, agriculture and the p r o d u c t s we produce p r o v i d e for the fine families we rear and the lives we live.

The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is try-ing to take our farming prac-tices back decades and the eventual impact their efforts have on our bottom line could negatively impact our way of life. I will continue to stand up against HSUS’ at-tempts to destroy our liveli-hoods and raise the price of food.

HSUS wants to outlaw our ability to eat a hot dog at a Cincinnati Reds game and destroy production agricul-ture in this state. They pose as animal lovers, but they really just want to make us all vegetarians and act in a manner that is nothing short of a political agenda.

Polling has found that most of the public think that

money given to HSUS large-ly helps shelter pets, such as cats and dogs that HSUS promotes in its market-ing campaign. However the truth is that only one per-cent of their budget goes to local animal shelters. Their true goals are to trick politi-cians and bully farmers into slowly reducing protein in our diets. These impacts are already being felt as egg producers move to cage free operations and the swine in-dustry abandons the supe-rior practice of using gesta-tion crates.

HSUS chooses when protecting animals is criti-cal or just convenient. For instance, they led the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation in their effort to increase penalties on cock fighting in Ohio. But building a re-lationship with an NFL star led their CEO to endorse Michael Vick to get another dog after being convicted as a dog fighting kingpin. Their convenience style of politics should be avoided in Ohio, and we must stand strong defending animal protein in

our diets. They have also demon-

strated their political agen-da by engaging in a lengthy, but quiet, lawsuit since 2012 with the USDA regarding the sale of the brand trade mark “Pork: The Other White Meat” from the National Pork Producers Council to the National Pork Board. The HSUS has no practical business suing over this ex-change, and it really makes me wonder: Have they filed suit to slow the use of the brand and reduce pork sales to hurt the success of our farms?

HSUS has successfully convinced industry and mar-keting experts of their mis-sion and it is time agricul-ture stands-up and defends traditional family farming. Their move for cage free chickens and hogs without gestation crates promises lower productivity for Ohio farmers and that trend has already begun. For example, in the past year alone, Ohio farmers increased their egg laying flocks by two percent, but their egg production

only increased by one per-cent. A lot of questions are outstanding and this dem-onstration of less productive hens could be a blip on the chart, but I anticipate it to continue and expand as long as HSUS continues to con-trol the marketing efforts of America’s largest food com-panies.

Please join me in oppos-ing HSUS and their clever marketing tactics and gim-micks by eating only the highest quality food from our local family farms. They are a sham organization and we should talk to our friends and neighbors about the dangers they pose to our way of life. If we do not, HSUS will fully succeed in eradicating high quality ani-mal proteins from our diets. Please join me in eating only food from Ohio’s traditional family farms. Let’s eat tradi-tional!

SUPERINTENDENTWith the close of the

2015-16 school year, it is time to congratulate another group of outstanding seniors who formally became gradu-ates on June 4, 2016. Two hundred and twenty gradu-ates received their diploma representing the Greenville Schools Class of 2016. The class has had many aca-demic and extra-curricular accomplishments while at Greenville and we commend each and every graduate. We wish all graduates much suc-cess and happiness in their future endeavors. Graduates are now welcomed as our alumni.

Our district now turns its attention to the preparation for next year. Instruction-ally we continue to focus on teaching 21st century learning skills to all of our students. We also continue to center our curriculum on national and state required learning standards and on-going preparation for on-

line assessments including the American Institute for Research (AIR), and End of Course Exams. We are con-fident the students and staff will become more adjusted to online assessments as we move forward.

At the high school next year, we will continue to im-plement the College Credit Plus courses for the second year. As you know, this re-placed the former Post-Sec-ondary Enrollment Option Program. The district works with both Edison State and Sinclair Community College on the College Credit Plus coursework. Many of our students took advantage of the C.C.P. program last year and we anticipate the same next year.

At the elementary level we are moving forward with our one to one initiative with technology at Woodland Pri-mary School even further. We expect to have all stu-dents at Woodland using iP-ads next year. We also have supplemented our learning curriculum at Woodland

with the E/Spark Learning. Four hundred twenty-six (426) students at Woodland participated in the E/Spark curriculum. This online in-struction provides differen-tiated instruction beneficial to all students at their pres-ent reading and mathemat-ics levels. Both kindergarten and first grade students saw great instructional percen-tile gains this year. Next year this program will expand to all students at the primary level, grades K-2, and per-haps even further. The E/Spark program mixed with our Measurement of Aca-demic Progress (MAP) on-line testing assessment are assisting us with reading level gains of our younger population of students.

Across the district, other curriculum plans for next year include the purchase of textbooks and supplemental material in the discipline of language arts and reading. We continue to incorporate a five-year cycle to upgrade our curriculum material by content area.

At the Career Tech Build-ing, we plan to incorporate more use of our Advanced Manufacturing Lab for both high school students and the adult learning population. We are also striving to make continued improvement in our end of year career course Web Xam’s in both partici-pation and skill attainment.

Summer school will again be offered at Greenville High School and East Elemen-tary. The high school offers makeup courses through the virtual academy along with a blended health and physi-cal education class. There is also Ohio Graduation Test (OGT) tutoring available to students who still need to pass a part of the test. At

East, summer reading in-tervention is available for students who are behind in reading. Feel free to contact the buildings or district of-fice if you need registration information.

The close of the 2015-16 school year will mark the retirement of some of our employees. Staff members retiring at the end of the year include Keith Denman, Reed Mikesell and Randy Swisher at the High School, and Deb Mendenhall at Me-morial Hall. We wish all our retiring employees the very best in their future endeav-ors. Please join me in thank-ing each of these retiring employees for their dedica-tion to Greenville Schools

and our students.We wish all of our stu-

dents an enjoyable and safe summer vacation full of relaxing time with fam-ily and friends. The Super-intendent’s Office is open all summer. As always, feel free to contact me by phone at 548-3185 or email at dfries@greenville.k12.oh.us with any questions you have about our district.

To all of our students, parents, staff and commu-nity members, have an en-joyable summer. We look forward to working with everyone again next fall. Greenville Schools is a great place for students to learn and teachers to teach.

Ashton Kester will be suiting up for the Findlay University Lady Oilers while Allison Minnich and Jazzlyn Pety will be teeing it up for the Sinclair Lady Tartans softball team.

Coach Newland, as is the case each year at this time is already counting down the days until the start of the 2017 season.

“Next year… can’t wait to tee it up and go,” Newland said. “Obviously it is 230 days away and you do get to tee it up again. It’s not even a week since it ended up at state, but you always look forward to next year and things coming.”

“Next year, a neat group coming up,” added New-land. “New kids, new faces and new places… we’ll start again. Rest assured, Green-ville softball team will make 2017 something to be proud of.”

GREENVILLE – Green-ville American Legion Post 140 made it back-to-back double digit wins defeat-ing Piqua Post 184 14-1 Wednesday night at Sater Park.

Greenville played error free ball while pounding out 11-hits on the night and limiting Piqua to a scant 2-hits.

“It was fabulous to see these guys play how they can,” said Greenville Post 140 Coach Dr. Thomas Martinez. “Defensively we didn’t have any errors, they hit the long ball today and my pitchers pitched well.”

National Trail’s Billy Lanman took the win pitching five-innings of one-hit ball, striking out six and walking four.

Greenville’s Tyler Net-zley pitched two-innings of no-hit shutout ball in relief, striking out three Piqua batters while walk-ing two.

“For being together for as short as we have, they are starting to come to-gether as a team,” Marti-nez stated.

“I love seeing that.” Greenville took a 1-0

lead after one-inning of play and made it a 7-0 score plating six runs in the bottom of the third with Arcanum’s Cole Bur-rell lacing a bases loaded double to deep center driv-

ing in 3-runs to break the game open.

“I have to give a shout-out to Cole Burrell defen-sively and offensively,” said Martinez. “He came up with a big 2-out hit knocking in 3-RBI.

Piqua Post 184 avoided a shutout with a lone run in the top of the fourth while Greenville Post 140 was adding a run in the bottom of the inning to lead 8-1.

Greenville plated six runs in the bottom of the fifth to push its lead to 14-1 with the local team keeping the visitors off the board in the top of the seventh.

“Aggressiveness… I like to teach these boys to be aggressive,” Martinez said. “You always end up in sec-ond place if you let some-

body go in front of you… that’s not only in baseball but life as well. That’s the idea of baseball… to teach them life traits.”

With the obvious win in hand the nine-inning game was called after 6-1/2 in-nings with Greenville Post 140 taking an impressive 14-1 win over the always tough Piqua team.

“It’s always fun when you win by 13,” Doc Mar-tinez said. “Didn’t go 9-in-nings.”

Jordan Buckly (Tri-Vil-lage) went 3-4 at the plate, scored 2-runs while col-lecting 4-RBI to lead Post 140 at the plate.

Post 140 catcher and 2015 GHS graduate Reece Hunt was 2-3 with a single, a double and a walk while

scoring two-runs and pick-ing up a RBI.

“We had a good team win tonight,” said Hunt. “Guys stepped up. We had a lot of help tonight and having fun. It’s good to be back.”

James Grilliot (Cov-ington) led the team with 3-steals while banging out 2-singles and scoring 2-runs.

Billy Lanman (National Trail) was 1-2 with 2-walks and 3-runs scored.

Tanner Maples (Tri-Village) and Dom Hoff-man (National Trail) each picked up a RBI.

Tyler Neal (Ansonia) scored 2-runs on 3-walks and Peter Pandy (Green-ville) walked twice and scored a run.

gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com PITSBURG – The

Franklin Monroe baseball team defeated Tri-Village 13-12 with a walk off Jef-frey Hurley hit to right.

“We were behind the whole game,” said FM Coach Jason Aslinger. “I’m real proud of our boys for sticking with it.”

TV opened with three runs in the first, four in the second and one in the third while FM was plat-ing two in the first and three in the third.

TV added two runs in the fifth to lead 10-5 with FM adding a run in the bottom of the inning to

trail 10-6.FM kept TV off the

board in the top of the sixth while adding a run in the bottom half sending the game to the seventh.

“We did all right (de-fense),” said Aslinger. “We made some plays when it counted.”

TV added to its lead with two runs in the sev-enth putting FM in a 12-7 hole coming to the plate in its final at bat.

“They are learning and we are trying to teach the game of ball,” said Tri-Village Coach Lyle Eyer. “We’re teaching just basic fundamental baseball.”

With a runner on third and no outs, FM took ad-vantage of back-to-back intentional walks loading the bases followed with timely hitting to score the come-from-behind win.

Hurley picked up the win for FM pitching in-nings 1, 2 and 7 while Caden Goins was on the

mound in innings 3, 4, 5 and 6.

“Jeffrey Hurley pitched a great final inning and also made some nice plays in the field,” Aslinger said.

FM’s Kevin Bancroft went 2-2 with two doubles and three walks, Austin Wolf was 2-3 with a walk and Tim Lawson went 2-4 with a walk.

“He (Lawson) is just a

really excellent player,” said Aslinger. “He played a little for FM varsity this year. He is our catcher and he keeps the baserunners honest and he is a super hitter too.”

Like the TV team, the summer program is a feeder for the high school baseball teams.

“We have two of our older players that played for FM varsity this year,” stated Aslinger. “We have a lot of guys with potential to go on and play in that system.”

GCBL Mendy Trissel Memorial Tourney beats weekend weather

Greenville 12U tournament champions (Gaylen Blosser photo)

BY GAYLEN BLOSSERSPORTS WRITER

gblosser@earlybirdpaper.comGREENVILLE – The

Greenville Citizens Base-ball League (GCBL) held is annual Summer Kick-Off Bash weekend tourna-ment including the 14U Mendy Trissel Memorial Tournament.

“Great tournament… good sportsmanship,” said GCBL Commissioner Scott McKinniss. “Great fans… lot of support for teams. Always great to see.”

“I would like to thank my entire board,” added McKinniss. “Eric Blumen-stock has done a great job. Ron Kerg our concessions manager has done a great job and really our board of volunteers. We couldn’t do it without them.”

The tournament was made up of boys baseball 8U, 9U, 10U, 11U, 12U and 14U teams.

“Our older division is a Memorial Tournament for Mendy (Trissel),” said McKinniss. “She did a lot of work and gave a lot of support out here at the ball diamonds. She still

has children playing in the upper divisions.”

The weekend tourna-ment ran Friday through Sunday with heavy rains moving through late Fri-day night. A predicted 80 percent chance of rain all day Saturday had the tour-nament in jeopardy.

“We had a lot of help out here,” McKinniss stat-ed. “We got a ton of rain last night (Friday). This morning (Saturday) the diamonds look great.”

The GCBL board and volunteers went to work on the field at 5 am Satur-day morning and had the diamonds in shape to start the day’s games as sched-uled.

“I would like to thank Pete (Peter Pandy),” said McKinniss. “He was out here at 6 o’clock this morning. You don’t see many high school kids get up a 6 o’clock and slosh through rain and mud just to get younger kids on the ball field.”

Pandy, a member of GHS varsity basketball team, varsity baseball

team, Post 140 Ameri-can Legion baseball team and the Greenville ACME baseball team will be a GHS senior.

“It certainly demon-strates the character of a young man who sacrifices his time to share his pas-sion with the next gen-eration,” added McKinn-iss. “This young man had over 25-hours supporting our tournament!”

With the success of the tournament, McKinniss gave added thanks to all involved.

“The “other” folks are the family members of our volunteers,” McKinniss said. “They dig in and sup-port wherever and when-ever needed…and tolerate our absences and elevated stress levels.”

The GCBL would also like to say thank you to The Early Bird for provid-ing the exceptional cover-age,” continued McKin-niss. “The boys/girls and families of GCBL look forward to searching the wonderful photographs and sharing with fam-

ily near and far via photos and social media.”

“But most of all the players and families,” con-cluded McKinniss. “This is why we do it. For me personally, it’s about the smiles, the laughs, the

great plays, the bumps and bruises, the “downs” for losing, and the “ups” for winning, watching my favorite player of all time…my son, and the love of the

game!”Union City’s 8U team

took the second place tro-phy while Greenville’s 12U team and 14U Miami Val-ley Heat took first place.

Erica Zimmer earned a fourth place finish in girls shot put, division 3.

Versailles and Zimmer earn trip to podium

Thirteen Darke Coun-ty athletes joined near-ly 2,000 athletes from across the state in over 100 events for the Ohio High School Athletic As-sociation’s (OHSAA) an-nual State Track & Field Meet at Jesse Owen Sta-dium on the campus of The Ohio State University. Five of the county’s athlete proved they were among their event’s eight best by making it to the medals podium. Arcanum’s Erica Zimmer was all smiles as she took her spot as the fourth best division 3 shot put thrower in the state and the Versailles Girls 4x200m relay team earned its place in the school’s history of elite relay teams with their eighth place fin-ish in division 2.

Zimmer not only dis-cussed her accomplish-ments in the state event, but the entire season. “The season was a great season to end on in my senior year,” she said. “Winning conference was huge, win-ning districts was huge and winning regionals was ex-actly what I wanted to do

this year.” Zimmer came into the season wanting to hit the 41-foot mark with her throws. That goal was achieved midway through the season. In her final high school meet, Zimmer threw a personal record of 42’ 1.75” to earn her a fourth place finish in the state meet. She currently holds Arcanum’s shot put and discus records.

The Versailles girls 4x200m relay team (Ellen Peters, Cassie Peters, Liz Watren and Haley Win-ner) worked through ad-versity this year to make it to the state meet. Haley Winner said, “This was kind of a rough season for us. I was out with a stress fracture at the beginning of the season and half-way through our season another one of our fast runners, Camille Watren, went down with a ham-string injury.

UNION CITY, Ind. – The Union City High School Athletic Depart-ment recently recog-nized 37 athletes during the school’s year-ending awards program.

Each of the Tri-Athletes were presented with a spe-cial t-shirt for participating in a sport each of the three seasons for the 2015-16

school year. According to a post on the athletic de-partment website, the Tri-Athletes in the grades 9-11 will receive an “All-Sports Pass” for the 2016-17 year to get in free to any home sporting event.

was going to go.” Liz Wa-tren spoke about the race and their eighth place fin-ish, “The adrenaline gets you out on the track; way more than you can even imagine.” The girls agreed they were excited to carry on the tradition that was started long ago of having exceptional relay teams.

The Versailles girls 4x100m relay team (Cassie Peters, Ellen Peters, Jenna Frantz and Haley Winner) finished in 13th place. The girls 4x400m relay team missed the podium by three one-hundreds of a second to finish ninth. The team included Haley Win-ner, Cassie Peters, Emily Langenkamp and Liz Wa-tren.

Josh Steinbrunner, the sophomore standout hur-dler from Versailles, fin-ished 10th in the state in the 110m Hurdles.

Greenville sent two pole vaulters to the state

competition in division 1. AJ Frens was battling back from a heel injury and failed to complete his starting height of 15’. Lexi Addington missed on all three attempts at 10’ 6”. Both are juniors and will have an opportunity to re-turn to competition again next year.

In addition to Zimmer, Arcanum sent seniors Alexis Kreusch and Aus-tin Gibboney to the state meet. Gibboney finished 10th in the 300m Hurdles and Kreusch cleared 5’ in the high jump to take 14th place.

Franklin Monroe junior Nicole Berry competed in division 3 girls discus and had her second best throw of the year at 112’ 7”. The throw was good enough to place in the top 15 in the state.

How Can You Declare Your Financial Independence?Next month , we observe the 4th

of July with sparklers, picnics and parades. And living in a country that offers so much freedom, we have a lot to celebrate. But on a more personal level, you may still be working toward another type of independence – financial indepen-dence. What can you do to speed your progress toward this goal?

Here are some ideas to think about:

Free yourself from excessive fear. As an investor, it’s not hard to find something to fear. Oil prices, inter-est rates, political squabbles, even natural disasters – at any given time, each of these factors (and many more) might be blamed for volatility in the financial markets. In response, many people take a “time out” from investing. Don’t let fear hold you back. It takes disci-pline and some mental toughness to stay invested in all economic en-vironments, but if you’re constantly jumping in and out of the market, you’re almost guaranteed to miss out on the kind of continuity and opportunities you need to move to-ward your financial freedom.

Liberate your investments’ growth potential. Many investors avoid investing too aggressively, wishing to lower their risk level. And that’s certainly not a bad idea. On the other hand, you can easily slip into investing too “safely” by keeping the bulk of your portfolio in investments that protect your prin-cipal but offer so little in the way of return that they may not even keep up with inflation. So, try to always maintain a reasonable percentage of growth-oriented vehicles in your

portfolio. The exact amount may depend on your age and tolerance for risk, but at virtually every stage of your life, you need some growth potential.

Avoid the tyranny of debt. It’s not easy to stay out of debt. But carry-ing a heavy debt load is truly a bur-den – you’re not only concerned about making the payments, but you’re also depriving yourself of dollars that could be used to invest for your future. Try to do everything you can to live within your means and avoid racking up more debt than is necessary. And when you do whittle down your debts, put that “found” money to work. The more you put in your investment port-folio, the more opportunities you have to reach your objectives.

Free your thinking about the fu-ture. Here’s another roadblock on your journey toward financial inde-pendence: short-term thinking. In-stead of seeking quick gains (which are notoriously hard to achieve), strive for steady growth. Instead of reacting to the news of the day by making impulsive moves, chart a long-term strategy that’s appro-priate for your needs, and stick to it. Instead of focusing on the losses you might see on one month’s in-vestment statement, look back over the progress you’ve made over the last five or 10 years. In short, worry less about today – and plan for to-morrow.

It will take a lot of time, effort and patience to ultimately achieve your own Financial Independence Day. But once you do, you’ll have reason to rejoice – and you won’t even need the fireworks.

Church to celebrate 150 yearsPITSBURG – Pitsburg’s

Trinity Evangelical Luther-an Church is celebrating its 150th anniversary.

The church was found-ed Jan. 8 1866, by German immigrants who settled in Monroe Township. Rec-ognizing the need to prac-tice their faith and their desire for fellowship with each other in a place of worship, several believers gathered at the home of Michael Henninger. Hen-ninger and the Rev. Bach-man were present as well as Michael Henninger Jr., John M. Kress, John H. Grau, Peter Eibach, Elias Spittler, Christoph Wer-ner, George Angelbauer and John Kuhnle. Kuhnle made a present of half an acre of his land for a build-ing lot and gave the deed to the congregation. The original site of the first wooden frame church is on Graw (Grau) Road about

one-fourth mile from the old Mid-way Station on State Route 49.

Many of today’s church members have ancestors who planted the seed for the 150 years of growth in the small congregation. Many worshipped in Ger-man, then in German and English. By 1914, the con-gregation had grown and a desire for a new house of worship began to take place in the hearts of the members and the pastor, the Rev. A.M. Pence. The building committee con-sisted of the Rev. Pence, Chairman; Christian Hen-ninger, secretary; C.R. Hart, treasurer; H.E. Han-gen and Rufus Garrison.

A new brick church was built at the present location, 8520 Oaks Road, Pitsburg. One hundred years later, an addition was built and dedicated on Sunday, Oct. 2, 1966. The church’s mis-

sion, “In Christ’s Love We Seek, Welcome and Serve All” continues today. What started 150 years ago in the woods under the trees by those who built Trinity continues today.

The public is invited to attend celebratory services on July 10. At 9 a.m., a Mix, Mingle, and Share hour in the church social room with coffee, juice and donuts will be held. At 10 a.m., a Musical Celebra-tion in the sanctuary is planned; and at 10:30 a.m., worship with Holy Com-munion with the Rev. Mel-vin R. Musser, officiating and a message by South-ern Ohio Synod Bishop Su-zanne Darcy-Dillahunt will be held.

At 1 p.m. a Celebration Feast will be catered by Michael’s Catering. Call the church office to receive a mailed invitation with details and so reservations

GREENVILLE - When first offering music les-sons full-time in Janu-ary of 1991, Dan Nea-leigh wasn’t quite sure where the new journey would lead...or how long it would last. In 2016, Nealeigh’s journey into teaching music celebrat-ed 25 years in business.

“I had been giving les-sons and putting on small recitals throughout most of the 80’s, but by 1990 I had given up on it,” Nea-leigh explained. “At the beginning of 1991, I was about to get laid off so I decided to go ahead and give it a try.”

After just the first year of giving lessons, Nea-leigh says he had so many students that he needed to find additional space.

reasons. He formed a program that consisted of grouping students on a similar skill level that could perform pub-licly. Since starting the Student Band program, Nealeigh says there have been 85 total bands to-date...involving nearly 500 musicians. Soon af-ter, the Nealeigh’s moved into their new home and welcomed the birth of their third and final child (Sam). Lastly, in the fall D.A. Music Studios moved to it’s current lo-cation at 312 S. Broadway in Greenville.

As the years went by and his children grew, the studio became a family affair for Dan. All three of his children are passion-ately involved with music and of course the stu-dio. Each play in student bands and help out their dad whenever they can.

After being laid off from his job in 1992 and a year old son (Luke) at home, Nealeigh was forced to take a factory position in Union City, Ind. to help make ends meet. Con-tinuing to take on more students, he soon decided to follow his dream, quit the job and focus solely on music lessons.

In 1995, Dan and his wife Melanie were ex-pecting their second child (Majennica) and Nealeigh once again found himself searching for another lo-cation for his music stu-dents. Two years later, the number of students were too large for Nea-leigh to teach on his own, so he hired others to help out. Eventually, Nealeigh says he had up to nine people helping to teach.

According to Nea-leigh, 1998 was a monu-mental year for several

Nealeigh has over 30 years of music experience and a college education in Music Education. Today, D.A. Music Studios offers private lessons on gui-tar, piano, bass, drums, banjo, ukulele, mandolin, string and wind instru-ments; as well as band classes for all age groups and musical styles. The student bands still per-form at many public events and continues to have their annual Spring Recital each May.

“The studio devotes itself to music educa-tion and performance,” Nealeigh added. “I love working with the kids and watching them grow through music.”

“25 years later - the music lessons, recitals and student bands are still going strong here on Broadway. I am back to being the only teacher

here now, but I can’t see myself doing anything else,” Nealeigh conclud-ed.

Commissioners renew Edison contract

VERSAILLES – More than bike safety tips greet-ed kids and their parents during the Versailles Bike Rodeo on June 4.

Special guests Roge and Rocko, a Dalmatian Duo from the Greenville Town-ship Fire and Lutheran Air medical helicopter were on hand to encourage sum-mer safety, as well.

Sponsored by the fire department, EMS, po-lice department and Josh Brooks State Farm Insur-ance, Saturday’s event brought young bike riders along with their parents and grandparents tot-ing bikes to the Versailles Emergency Services Build-ing.

The event has been host-ed by the village’s emer-gency services for the past four years, said planning committee chair Crystal Buteau. Prior to that, State Farm sponsored the safety program.

Staffed entirely by vol-unteers - many who were firefighters’ teens - events included child ID and bike registration, helmet fit-

tings and a chalk-drawn bicycle safety course out-lined by orange cones. Bike inspections also were con-ducted by former bicycle shop owner Terry Benge.

Poultry Days Commit-tee members also partici-pated in the Bike Rodeo by providing and installing safety lights on bikes.

While riding the course, the young riders were in-structed in braking, ma-neuverability and stability.

Five-year-old Zachary Shimp said he’d been rid-ing a bike “about 4 or 5 months.” He credited his brother, Noah, 11, with helping him learn to ride and stop his bike safely.

“My brother just taught

me that,” Shimp said about learning to stop without falling over.

“It keeps ‘em safe,” Dad Josh Shimp said of the programs his boys partici-pated in during the Bike Rodeo.

Bailey Wynk, 4, was at-tending her first Bike Ro-deo. She’s been riding her little pink bike with train-ing wheels since she was 2 years old, said mom Jaci Wynk.

“We’ll go on walks,” Wynk said, with Bailey rid-ing her bike. “She’s due for a new one.”

Wynk said she brought

Bailey to the rodeo because “they were offering a lot of safety tips, that’s a big deal to us. Bailey got a free bike helmet. It’s a really neat thing they are doing.”

Kids also were invited to climb aboard the Lutheran Air to sit in the medics’ seats and see how patients are transported to medical facilities.

And 13 lucky kids en-tered their names in a raffle for a brand new bike, thanks to donations that come into the fire depart-ment and EMS, Bateau said. Also Saturday, brand new helmets were given to young riders as well as older kids who may have outgrown old helmets.

Sponsors of the Bike Rodeo include the Ameri-can Legion Ladies Auxil-iary of Versailles, Benge’s Bike Shop, Versailles Ace Hardware and Ft. Lora-mie Hardware. Monetary contributions were made by Versailles Poultry Days Committee, TASKS Inc., Darke County Prosecu-tor’s office, Will Robertson Fund of Darke County and Custom Foam Inc.

DARKE COUNTY – The Darke County Commis-sioners approved a number of items during their June 6 and 8 regular meetings.

Edison State Communi-ty College will enjoy anoth-er five years at their Green-ville location, 601 Wagner Ave., Greenville. Commis-sioners approved the re-newal of a contract for the term of 60 months begin-ning Sept. 1 at $6.50 per square foot or $9,347.54 per month.

Also approved was a bid to Walls Bros. Asphalt Co. Inc. for $16,524.11 for the increasing and paving a parking lot at Michaels Re-source Treatment Center. The larger lot said Com-missioner Mike Stegall, was “desperately needed.”

The Darke County Job and Family Services will be purchasing a new Ford Fusion from Dave Knapp Ford, thanks to an ap-

proval by commissioners. The Dave Knapp purchase came in under the state bid recommendation from Middletown Ford. Purchas-ing the vehicle locally also will assist with easy access to regularly scheduled and needed maintenance.

And, also this past week, commissioners adopted position descriptions and approved the hiring of a full time animal control officer for the county’s ani-mal shelter.

The new position de-scriptions will allow for the following positions at the shelter: chief animal con-trol officer, assistant chief animal control officer, animal control officer, and animal control officer/ken-nel worker.

The resolution abolish-es the descriptions for the positions of animal control supervisor, pound keeper and kennel worker.

GREENVILLE – Green-ville jewelers Dean and Ar-lene Bankson have been named grand marshals for the Annie Oakley Festival Parade.

“I couldn’t believe it my-self,” Arlene said of finding out she and her husband had been selected for the honor.

Her husband also was surprised.

“I think there might’ve been somebody else to pick myself,” he said.

The couple own Weiland Jewelers, located at 414 S. Broadway in downtown Greenville, purchasing the business from Arlene’s fa-ther, Ivan Spahr. Mr. Spahr purchased the store in 1950, and worked 60 years as a hometown jeweler. Two of the couple’s three sons and their wives also work with the family business, Mark and Gail and Mike and Cor-rin. Son Matt works for the Ohio Department of Agri-culture and his wife Heather is a hospice nurse. They also have six grandchildren.

Known for supporting the Annie Oakley Festival by presenting Annie Oak-ley necklaces to Miss Annie Oakley and runners-up, the Banksons believe that is one reason they were selected to represent the community for the 2016 parade.

“For the past 15 or 20 years we’ve given engraved Annie Oakley necklaces to the girls,” Dean said. “We’ll engrave their names on the back.”

The public also may pur-chase jewelry from Weiland Jewelers depicting Annie

Oakley, he explained, in-cluding the necklace as well as key rings, an Annie Oak-ley brooch, money clips and tie tacks.

The couple is proud to make Greenville their home.

“Our boys went to school here and I don’t think there is a better place to live,” Arlene said. Dean said he enjoys hearing other people speak positively about Green-ville – especially the down-town business district. “Our salesmen come in and comment on how nice our downtown is,” he said.

Weiland’s repeat busi-ness also is a testimony of a supportive community, the couple believes.

“We really have a good clientele,” Arlene said. “We’ll see the grandchildren of people we sold engagement rings to. That makes you feel so good.”

Weilands offers a wide variety of jewelry and acces-sories. They also offer onsite custom design and repair services.

The Banksons say they are waiting to hear from the Annie Oakley parade organizers about how they should dress or what they’ll be riding in.

“I have an old Model T of my granddads,” Dean laughed. “I told my boys we should get that out for the parade.”

The Annie Oakley Festi-val will be held July 29-31 with the parade set to be-gin at 10 a.m. in downtown Greenville.

BBBS rubber duck race and 5k is June 23SIDNEY – Duck adop-

tions remain steady for the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County, and Jennifer Bruns, ex-ecutive director of the Shelby and Darke County agency, is hopeful to reach over 4,000 ducks being launched this year. Keep-ing with tradition, the per-son with the number on the winning duck wins the grand prize of $1000 and the next 12 ducks to follow win various prize packag-es including, two “3-day” passes to the great Country Concert at Hickory Hills.

All of the prizes have been donated for the event and are listed on the Big Brothers Big Sisters web-site. The 2016 Rubber Duck Race, will be held June 23, 7:30 p.m., near the Geib Pavilion in Tawa-

wa Park, Sidney. Those wishing to adopt

their duck may still do so up until June 23. Duck adoptions can also take place at sites throughout the community including the Sidney Big Brothers Big Sisters office at 121 E. North St., Sidney Body Carstar, Meyer’s Drive-Thru, Midmark Corpora-tion, Greenville Federal Savings & Loan in Green-ville, Financial Achieve-ment Services Located on Childrens Home-Bradford Road, Edison Commu-nity College both Piqua & Greenville branches, and The Early Bird. Big Broth-ers Big Sisters board mem-bers and volunteers will also have tickets available for sale.

Additionally, this year you can purchase duck

adoptions online or by downloading the mail-in order. Both can be done from our website at www.bigbrobigsis-shelbydarke.org/events or http://bit.ly/bbbsduckderby .

The public is invited to come out for the Rub-ber Duck Race to cheer on their adopted rubber duck and compete for some awesome prizes. TAM 105.5, one of the corporate sponsors for the event, will be live on-air broadcasting throughout the evening.

In addition to the duck race, the agency will also host the 10th annual Duck N’ Run 5k walk/run, which is a part of the Shelby County 5K Tour, and in celebration of the 10th an-nual event each 10th par-ticipant to cross the finish line will receive a special

prize as a thank you for supporting the organiza-tion. The 5K run will be held on June 23 with race time at 8:15 p.m. through scenic Tawawa Park in Sid-ney. Registration begins at 7 p.m., and a shot-gun start will begin the race at 8:15 p.m. Runners (walk-ers also welcome) will fol-low the course through the scenic park, with re-freshments and an awards presentation waiting at the finish line. Runners can pre-register for the event by going to http://bit.ly/ducknrun with early bird registration ending June 10, or register the day of the race for $15. Duck adoptions and t-shirts will be sold separately on race day as quantities last.

By running in the 5K or by “adopting” a rubber

duck for $5 each or by pur-chasing one of their special deal packs, you not only have a chance to win some fantastic prizes but you will have made a differ-ence by providing financial support to a Big and Little and our after-school men-toring programs.

If you would like more

information about becom-ing a volunteer or if you have a child that you feel could benefit from being in the program, call 492-7611 or 547-9622. Big Brothers Big Sisters is a United Way Agency and an affiliate of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.

June 18 at the Shawnee Prairie Preserve Nature Center to learn the basics of fly fishing. Participants

will discuss technique, flies (where and when to use them), where to fly fish locally, and more. After covering the basics, stu-dents will look into other supplies one may need, or desire, to make this sport their own.

Hollinger has been fly fishing since 2002, when a friend got him “hooked.” Since then, he has fly fished in Colorado, Ten-nessee, Michigan, Wyo-ming, Montana, Wash-ington, Alaska, and Ohio.

One of Hollinger’s favorite aspects of the sport is the scenery.

Space is very limited due to supplies, so sign up soon. A $5 fee for materi-als will be charged for this program, and preregistra-tion is required.

For more information about this or any other pro-gram offered by the Darke County Parks or to register for Fly Fishing Basics, stop by the nature center, or call (937) 548-0165.

Diabetes and Your Heart setGREENVILLE - Indi-

viduals with diabetes are twice as likely as someone who does not have diabe-tes to have heart disease or a stroke. People with diabetes also tend to de-velop heart disease or have strokes at an earlier age than other people.

If you are interested in learning ways to reduce your risk of heart disease, consider attending the pro-gram “Keeping Your Heart

Healthy.” Karen Droesch RD, LD, CDE the Dia-betic Educator at Wayne HealthCare will provide this free program at 6 p.m. June 14. The presentation will be held in the 3rd floor conference room at Wayne HealthCare.

Participants in Employment Panel, left to right: John Rediger (The Kroger Co.), Facilitator Tamala Marley (Darke DD), Tisha McAdams (The Kroger Co.), and Wes Garland (The Kroger Co.)

Left to right Lindsay Balster (Village Green) and Erika Smith (Village Green) receive certificates of appreciation from Tamala Marley (Darke DD).

GREENVILLE - A group of more than 30 Greenville Junior High and High School stu-dents, school staff, par-ents, and Darke DD staff participated in Life After High School in May. The day focused on work op-portunities in our com-munity and was made possible through partner-ing efforts of Greenville City Schools, Darke DD Community First, and lo-cal employers.

The day began at Keller’s Drive Thru where Christof Keller, Vice Pres-ident of Sales, provided an informative tour. Students learned about Keller Feed & Grain and job opportunities at the company’s four locations. Christof shared about the products produced local-ly by Keller as well as the

importance of customer service and convenience at Keller’s Drive Thru.

Andrea Townsend of Greenville Schools co-ordinated a pizza lunch in the third floor confer-ence room of the Green-ville Public Library. After lunch, students learned more about community employment through a panel discussion. Repre-sentatives on the panel included Tisha McAdams (Customer Service Man-ager, The Kroger Co.), Wes Garland (Courtesy Clerk, The Kroger Co.), John Rediger (Courtesy Clerk, The Kroger Co.), Lindsay Balster (Staffing & Team Retention Lead-er, Cypress Pointe & Vil-lage Green Health Cam-pus) and Erika Smith (Environmental Services, Village Green). The panel

discussion was facili-tated by Tamala Marley, Employment Advisor at Darke DD. Wes, John, and Erika shared their journey to employment as participants in Bridges

to Transition Vocational Rehabilitation Public Pri-vate Partnership grant. McAdams praised both John and Wes for their positive attitudes and de-pendability as employees.

John shared that early work and volunteer ex-periences helped prepare him for work. He also en-couraged students to take on more responsibility as they transition to adult-hood. Balster praised Er-ika (who has a visual im-pairment) for providing thorough, quality clean-ing and caring service for Village Green residents. Erika, who has worked for Village Green for nearly 2 years, encouraged stu-dents to set and reach for their goals. Erika shared that she had worked in retail and food service before finding the job she currently loves. Balster encouraged students to find out what they enjoy through volunteerism or school activities.

In the afternoon, the group toured Greenville Technology Inc. (GTI). Students saw car parts being assembled, paint-ed, and inspected as they viewed different areas of the plant. Many were see-ing GTI for the first time and were interested in the robotics used in the man-ufacturing processes.

The business tours provided very different employment options. Both tours shared op-

portunities and employer expectations which relate to the vocational topics covered in the classroom. Many students stated they could see themselves working at one or both of the businesses. Both Keller Feed & Grain and GTI have been supportive of hiring individuals with developmental disabili-ties and currently have employees who receive services from Darke DD.

The goal of Bridges to Transition is to expand career exploration and employment options for transitional youth (ages 14-24) with developmen-tal disabilities. Anyone in-terested in learning more about partnering with the Darke County Board of Developmental Dis-abilities for employment opportunities, Bridges to Transition, inclusion and/or volunteerism can contact Rodney Willis, Community First Direc-tor at 937-459-4626 or rodneyw@darkedd.org.
