Keeping Annie Oakley Days alive and growing

G R E E N -VILLE – “Re-tail as we know it is chang-ing.” That is the general consensus of three individ-uals who tend

to keep a finger on the pulse of local economics. Accord-ing to Darke County Com-missioner Mike Stegall, the brick and mortar ‘big box’ stores are going away. Main Street Greenville Executive Director Amber Garrett and Darke County Visitors Bureau Executive Director Deanna York agree.

“Visitors don’t come to Darke County to shop at big box stores they can find in

their own communities,” York said. “They are look-ing for unique experienc-es… experiences that make Darke County distinct.” Garrett noted the ‘big box’ stores that recently closed in Greenville – JCPenney and Staples – are in “the process of changing their business model or strug-gling as a company.” JC-Penney closed 40 stores in 2014; Staples closed 170. Stegall said the same thing about K-Mart and Big Lots.

“They have to change if they want to stay viable,” Stegall said. “Walmart has the nitch (for now). They keep items in stock.” Not-ing smaller stores will ship to the store or the home, he

added, “That’s the way it’s going. You have to embrace it.”

At the same time, Ste-gall said Greenville Mayor Mike Bowers has been working on plans for the vacant buildings… but don’t look for the tradi-tional retail outlets. “There are a number of possibili-ties in the works, and they would definitely be popu-lar with Darke County.” K-Mart didn’t stay empty long, he said, and Rural King is a perfect store for Darke County. Having Buf-falo Wild Wings take over half of the Staples location is another positive. “Access MD, an after-hours medi-cal service moving into the

G R E E N -VILLE – Are a g r e e a b l e people more prone to make detri-mental deci-sions involv-ing selections

with negative consequenc-es than their conscientious counterparts? Greenville High School junior Franc-esca Masso-Rivetti wanted to find out. While she was able to substantiate that conscientious individuals were less likely to make detrimental decisions, she was unable to arrive at the same conclusion about agreeable people being more likely to do so.

Her experiment was based upon the Allais Par-adox. Researchers had de-termined statements can be modified to manipulate how two situations are per-ceived despite the outcome being the same for both. Masso-Rivetti wanted to determine if the different personalities were factors.

Judges at the Second Annual Darke County Sci-ence Days competition were impressed. Masso-Rivetti earned top points for first place. The event was held Feb. 26 at Green-ville High School.

Second place went to Gabby Fair, Bradford High School senior. She devised an experiment to find a way to help people diagnosed

with Alzheimer’s type de-mentia remember little things. Her hypothesis was connecting a motion with a word would enhance word recall. Participants were given a set of words without motion, and a set with motion. Overall word recall was better without. She noted, however, all participants recalled the word clap, likely because it was paired with a clap mo-tion.

Katelyn Hanes and Me-gan Smith, sixth graders at Tri-Village High School, devised a Nickel Shield to prevent Nickel Allergies. It earned them third place at the competition. Both are allergic to nickel and most belt buckles contain nick-el. Direct contact causes skin rashes. They designed a “shield” using four dif-ferent materials; while all four worked, they deter-mined polyester and jersey worked best.

Seventy-four students from seven school dis-tricts – Ansonia, Arcanum, Bradford, Franklin Mon-roe, Greenville, Tri-Village and Versailles – competed in this year’s event. Thirty five were recognized as Su-perior; 39 were recognized as Excellent. Students re-ceiving the Superior rat-ing will be eligible to go to the District Science Day at Central State University March 21.

According to Martin

English, coordinator of Upper Miami Valley Sci-ence Days, Darke County and Troy held their first events in 2014. Troy limit-ed the event to city schools at that time, but expanded it to include six districts this year.

Fifty-five presenta-tions were made by indi-viduals and teams. Some of the abstracts included titles like Do Peppermints help while Testing, Cur-sive Writing and Memory, Commercial Antacids ver-sus Natural Remedies, How Music affects Heart, Hydrogen Powered Igni-tion Switches, Effects of Color on Memory, Effects of Smiling on Someone Else, Effects of Gender on Short Term Memory, Ef-fects of Color on Heat Ab-sorption and more.

Students work from September until February on projects of their choos-ing. Science staff provides assistance when asked, but Science Day projects are designed to be primar-ily student directed. The Darke County Science Day was sponsored by UMV Science Days and Darke County Educational Ser-vice Center. Major spon-sors were Wayne Health Care and BASF Corpora-tion.

G R E E N -VILLE – “We want to keep the idea of Annie Oakley alive,” said JoEllen Mel-ling, president

of the Annie Oakley Days Committee. The commit-tee’s newly elected presi-dent recognized the Annie Oakley Days Festival has experienced some tough times in the past, but she and her volunteers are determined to make the event as successful as it once was.

Annie Oakley Days is coming off of one of its most successful years in recent history. Accord-ing to Melling, 2014 was a good year for the com-mittee. The new location at York Woods, north of Greenville, proved to be a good home and the Darke Co. Steam Threshers were there to help them with anything they needed. She said the vendors were not as spread out as they had been at the fairgrounds and it really showed how big the festival has become. Many of the vendors re-ported better than normal sales. The activities were also well received, includ-ing the annual Miss Annie Oakley Days shooting con-test, historical tours, mu-sical entertainment, tal-ent show, melodrama and whip cracking demonstra-tions. Newer events, such as the 50/50 Annie Oakley Shooting Contest, family games and activities and car show received a lot of attention.

Even with their suc-cess in 2014, there were a few obstacles to over-come. Melling pointed out the biggest obstacle was informing the public of the new location. Because the new location was an-nounced shortly before the start of the festival, some of those signed up for the talent show missed it be-cause they went to the old location. The biggest dis-

appointment for the com-mittee was when they had to cancel the parade.

After last year’s event Melling said, “I don’t care what it takes, next year there is going to be a parade.” Committee members accepted her at her word and she was nominated and elected as president. Melling quickly enlisted the help of her sister, Jennifer Peck. Peck was elected 2nd vice presi-dent and put in charge of the parade. However, both are working on the project together. Peck and Melling have been working with Annie Oakley Days for sev-eral years on the entertain-ment committee.

Peck is excited about this year’s event and is learning what it takes to put the parade together. She and Melling have been meeting with the mayor, safety/service director, street, police and fire de-partments and Main Street Greenville to ensure the parade will be successful. They have also begun ac-cepting applications for parade entries. The parade will be held July 25, 10

a.m., in downtown Green-ville.

Peck has also been vis-iting other festivals across the state to see what works and what might be exciting to bring to the Annie Oak-ley Days Festival. The com-mittee would like to add artisans and crafters that would like to demonstrate what they do. Peck said they are looking for people who are glass blowers, jew-elry makers or chainsaw artists. They want exhibi-tors that people can’t see in most places.

Melling also pointed out the festival is seeking vol-unteers. They need people to help with the parade and festival or to help with mailings or make phone calls. They also want peo-ple with fresh ideas on how to make the event better.

will eventually have to fix that.” He didn’t think the weather had much of an im-pact on people’s spending habits, but guessed there was probably a lot of ‘cabin fever’ in the county. “When people have a chance to get out sales could explode!”

Darke County and Greenville had a good year in 2014, he said, and it will keep getting better in 2015. “This is the result of a lot of hard work by a lot of peo-ple,” he added. He noted Job & Family Services, the Commissioners, villages, city, P4P… also agencies like the Visitor’s Bureau and Main Street Green-ville.

York noted one of their

old Bob Evans building, is also a strong asset for the community.”

The key in Stegall’s opin-ion is the county’s success in putting people back to work. “Sales tax (receipts) is a little better than last year,” he said. This is a pri-mary source of revenue for the county; also an indica-tor of a county’s economic health. “People have jobs. They have spending mon-ey… just having jobs can solve some of the greatest ills of society.”

Internet shopping doesn’t have that much of an impact at this point, he said. Declaring sales tax purchases in Ohio is cur-rently voluntary, but “we

economic indicators is the Lodging Tax. “In 2014, Darke County saw a 19 per-cent increase,” she said. York added the Visitor’s Bureau will release infor-mation about a Tourism Economic Impact Study in May. Garrett will be releas-ing a Resident Survey, tak-en in 2014, regarding Main Street Greenville. It will be used to assist the organiza-tion “when trying to recruit new businesses to down-town Greenville.”

Next week The Early Bird will take a look at the value of tourism and the small business environ-ment unique to Greenville and Darke County.

Judge orders probation in Greenville vehicle arson case

mary, we work very hard every day teaching kin-dergarten through second graders how to read. It is an amazing transformation watching the students be-come readers. GCS Super-intendent Mr. Doug Fries once said, “In K-2 we learn to read, in grades 3 through 12 we read to learn.” We are giving our students a solid foundation in literacy to ensure that our children grow up to be success-ful life-long learners.

County Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein handed down a community control sanc-tion for a second time in a Greenville vehicle arson case.

Lowell ‘Bill’ Bowers, 34, of Union City appeared in court March 2 with his defense attorney David A. Rohrer for sentencing on four counts of Complicity to Arson, felonies of the fourth degree. The charges stem from a rash of fires in which Bowers and co-defendant, 18-year-old Josh Willis, damaged at least eight vehicles in the early morning hours of July 22, 2014 in the City of Greenville. The pair were charged and later indicted on eight counts each of Ar-son, a felony of the fourth degree.

As part of a plea agree-ment with the state, Bow-ers entered a guilty plea to the four amended charges in January. Willis was convicted on four original counts and also sentenced to probation in the case.

“In setting the fires, they stretched the limit of the police and fire depart-ments in dealing with each of these crime scenes,”

safe and secure learning en-vironment and to develop healthy independent life-long learners and respon-sible citizens. Our goal is to make a positive difference in students’ lives and to be a school of excellence! To accomplish this goal, stu-dents, parents, school staff, administrators and other community members will work together with patience and enthusiasm to encour-age our students to reach their fullest potential.

Monday, March 2 was Read Across America Day. NEA’s Read Across America Day is a nationwide reading celebration that takes place annually on March 2, the birthday of beloved chil-dren’s author Dr. Seuss’s birthday. Read Across America is an annual read-ing motivation and aware-ness program that calls for every child in every commu-nity to celebrate reading!

At Woodland Primary, we celebrate reading by having guest readers from our community come into the school to read to our students. Guest read-ers include Julie Schmidt from the Greenville Public Library; Mandy Martin, a naturalist form The Darke

County Parks; Andrea Jor-dan from DCCA; Susan Gettinger, from the Bread of Life Bookstore; Kathy Lockhart, a retired teacher from GCS; Fred Matix, BOE President; Josh Moore, general manager at Cal-Maine Foods; Kathy Steyer, Woodland grandmother and retired teacher; and Mayor Mike Bowers. The Woodland Primary PTA has purchased one book for every student at Wood-land Primary. High school students enrolled in the Ca-reers with Children will be “reading buddies” with our kindergarten students dur-ing our school wide “stop everything and read a book anywhere” event.

We also have one par-ent volunteer from every classroom coming into their child’s classroom to read. We are so thankful for our community for supporting us and coming to Woodland to celebrate the fact that we can read!

Thank you to all our parents, grandparents, and community members for taking time to read with us! “You’re never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child!” – Dr. Seuss

stated Darke County Assis-tant Prosecutor Deborah S. Quigley. “Multiple victims suffered significant loss from this criminal act.”

A victim of the arson, along with Chief Mark Wolf and Assistant Chief David McDermitt of the Greenville Fire Depart-ment attended Monday’s sentencing.

“As firefighters we as-sume great risk. We accept that in cases of accidental fires and emergencies,” Chief Wolf addressed the court. “In this case was an intentional crime creating risk to the community as well as our firefighters.”

Quigley told the judge that a prison term was warranted in the case due to Bowers’ criminal his-tory with the court and the nature of the crime. He

served two prison terms prior to this case and has a history of drug and al-cohol abuse according to a pre-sentence investigation completed by John Tabler with the Adult Probation Department.

“I’m not sure if he will be able to make it,” Tabler said to Judge Hein when asked about possible pro-bation for Bowers. “It would be a success story if he does.”

“I wish I could go back and take back what I did,” Bowers stated prior to sen-tencing. “I am working on maintaining my life and to get things back how they are supposed to be.”

“I would like to be that success story,” Bowers added.

As Judge Hein reluc-tantly imposed a 60 month

community control sanc-tion for Bowers, he ex-plained cases like these are what the state legislators are recommending the courts handle at a local level.

“I often sit here with the victims explaining to them why,” Judge Hein said. “Though it is considered a violent offense, this case is designed to be a local sanc-tion, because of the way the state writes the rules.”

“I do get tired of hearing people say I got it wrong, when in fact I’m not mak-ing it up I’m just follow-ing the rules,” Judge Hein added. “So if you screw up Mr. Bowers everyone will be looking at me.”

In addition to five year probation, Bowers is to be placed on house arrest for

90 days with work privi-leges and complete 100 hours of community ser-vice. He is also ordered to pay restitution to the victims in the amount of

$8,910.69 and is required to register as an arson of-fender for life. If he fails to comply with the orders, a prison term of 15 months could be imposed.

How Should You Respond to Higher Interest Rates? If the Federal Reserve (Fed) raises

short-term interest rates this year, as many financial professionals pre-dict, what will it mean to you? As a consumer, you might experience the “ripple” effects if long-term interest rates eventually follow suit, affect-ing mortgages and other loans. But as an investor, you might quickly feel the impact of a move by the Fed — especially if you own bonds.

In fact, the value of your existing bonds might drop noticeably if in-terest rates were to rise. That’s be-cause no one will give you full price for your lower-paying bonds when new bonds are being issued at a higher interest rate. So if you want to sell your bonds, you might have to take a loss on them.

Of course, if you were always plan-ning to hold your bonds until ma-turity, you might not be overly con-cerned with falling prices. Assuming your bond issuers don’t default — and defaults are rare among “in-vestment grade” bonds — you will continue collecting regular interest payments until your bonds mature, at which point they will be redeemed at full face value. Furthermore, just owning bonds can help you diver-sify your portfolio, which might otherwise be dominated by stocks and therefore be susceptible to big swings in value. (While diversifica-tion can help reduce the effects of volatility, it can’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss.)

However, it’s still useful to be aware of the effects of rising inter-est rates on bonds of different ma-turities. Typically, when rates rise, long-term bonds will fall in value more than short-term bonds. So if you only owned long-term bonds, your portfolio could take a bigger hit than if you owned both short- and

long-term bonds. Again, this might not be a big issue if you intend to hold bonds until they mature — but if your plans change, a drop in value in your bond holdings could be cause for concern. Furthermore, if you just owned long-term bonds, your money would be tied up, there-by not allowing you to take advan-tage of newly issued, higher-paying bonds.

You can help protect yourself against the potential negative ef-fects of rising interest rates by in-corporating a “fixed-income ladder” in your portfolio. You can build this ladder by purchasing fixed-income securities — such as corporate or municipal bonds — in various ma-turities. With your ladder in place, a portion of your portfolio matures at regular intervals. Consequently, you can benefit from any increase in interest rates by reinvesting your maturing bonds at the higher rate. And if interest rates should fall, you still have your longer-term bonds working for you. (Generally, longer-term vehicles pay higher rates than shorter-term ones.)

Even if the Fed does raise short-term rates in 2015, it doesn’t nec-essarily signal the start of a trend. Interest rate movements are noto-riously hard to predict — and you probably won’t help yourself by try-ing to “time” your investment de-cisions based on where rates may be heading. But techniques such as a fixed-income ladder can work for you in all interest rate environ-ments. So as you think about how you’ll invest in bonds in the years ahead, keep this type of “all-weath-er” strategy in mind. It may be able to help you keep the “guesswork” to a minimum.

VERSAILLES – The Versailles Area Museum announces its March “Last Monday of the Month” will be held March 30, 1 p.m. They will host a Willowdell reunion.

Memories of growing up in Willowdell and the unique history of this spe-cial community and the neighborhoods that sur-round it will be shared. Because visitors always

bring great stories and old pictures to share, every-one will learn more about the people and places that make up northeastern Darke County.

The afternoon will con-clude with a warm bever-age and a sweet treat.

You may also enjoy looking at the museum displays, especially the Willowdell room.

Last Monday event approximately $200,000, but there would be no guarantee of a 0 percent interest loan. The cost to do site work is from $15,000-$20,000. The alternative is to wait and see what the EPA will offer before making a decision. The safety/service director pointed out the EPA looks favorably on projects that are moving forward.

Council members ex-pressed concern with shell-ing out $200,000 and not getting the loan. Several water-related construction projects would have to be put on hold to accommo-date funding this project until the loan is received.

Councilman Tracy Try-on suggested spending the funds to do the site work to show they are moving forward on the project in-stead of funding the en-

tire $200,000. Garrison agreed it would demon-strate the city is moving forward.

The total cost for a new water tower is estimated at $6 million. Garrison and Auditor Roxanne Will-man agreed the city could not afford to pay back a 20-year 0 percent interest loan at the current rate for water. Garrison estimates it would cost each water subscriber an additional $4.55 a month.

Council President John Burkett reminded resi-dents council has not made a decision on this project and water rates are not go-ing up. If council and the EPA approve the project the earliest rates would in-crease would be when con-struction begins – possibly the spring of 2016.

City considers building new water towerBY RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITORwww.bluebagmedia.com

GREENVILLE – Twelve hours! That is how much water is available to Green-ville residents if the water department has a cata-strophic event that knocks out the pumps. Safety/Ser-vice Director Curt Garri-son told Greenville council members those facts when presenting information on a proposed new water tow-er in the Greenville Indus-trial Park on March 3.

According to Garrison, the EPA wants commu-nities to have at least 24 hours of water available in case of a catastrophic event and an additional two million gallon tank would do that for the city. The EPA was offering a 0 percent interest loan, but the applications are due in

June for the 2014 funding year. The city’s project was nominated for the loan, but the nomination came back too late to have de-sign work completed be-fore the deadline.

The city’s project will now have to be nominated for the 2015 funding year, but Garrison told council there is no guarantee the

EPA director will offer the

same 0 percent interest loan.

Going forward, Gar-rison wants to submit the project earlier in the fund-ing cycle to get the nomi-nation sooner. He also asked council to consider having the site work, in-cluding soil boring and topographical and archae-ological surveys, and de-sign work completed. The cost to do both would be

Your words have struck a chord that all of “Patriot Nation” has heard.

The young men who sport the red, white and blue in New Madison, Ohio are some of the fin-est I have ever known. Although I know that all teenagers, including these young men, have flaws, theirs are certainly not on public display on or off the court. These gentle-men are admired by un-derclassmen, revered by elementary and preschool children and consistently courteous, respectful and most importantly, self-less in a way that is sadly lacking within our society today. Our student body lines up to form a tunnel through which the starters run at every home game, and to the see the faces of the young fans as they get to touch the hands of their heroes is a sight that brings tears to my eyes. Watching these young men sacrifice individual glory for the good of the team, or focusing all their collective efforts on help-ing a teammate reach a goal (breaking the record for assists or individual points, for example), is a study in sportsmanship and contribution to the common good that I have rarely witnessed in sports or in life.

It’s difficult to describe how it feels to be a fan of this particular Patriot team. It’s a pride that reaches back to my own days as a Patriot athlete and brings it forward through the years. As a community, we feel every shot, every foul, every vic-tory, every shortfall and every single drop of sweat and blood that our boys put in for us. We focus our collective pride and our hopes on a team that can make our dreams of a state title come true.

The Patriots beat the Ansonia Tigers by a 90-point margin, and they did so because that’s what we expect of them. We expect them to give 100% and leave everything they have on the court every single game. The fact that they meet those expectations doesn’t make them bul-lies; it makes them capa-ble, successful, disciplined

young men who know that doing their best and giv-ing their all is the only way to play, both in basketball and in life.

We would not have ex-pected our young athletes, especially those who came in late in the game to get some varsity time, to do anything but score as many points as possible, and would have been deeply disappointed had they in-tentionally backed down in intensity just to keep the margin within whatever your idea of a respectable range might be. There was no intended disrespect or demoralization of their op-ponent in this victory, and I’m sure the attitude of the Tigers is to work hard and look forward to next year’s contest rather than wish-ing the Patriots had taken it easy on them. After all, it’s not whether you win or lose that counts, but how you play the game, cor-rect? Purposely compet-ing with less intensity and at a level beneath the norm is not something I would be proud of as a fan or a player on any team.

In reference to the state-ment about how to judge a high school sports pro-gram, I am a positive con-tributing member of so-ciety who graduated from Tri-Village, and I certainly believe the athletic pro-gram at Tri-Village is a suc-cess. Throughout my ath-letic career at Tri-Village, I was taught to work hard, to do my best, to never give up, to show humility, to lose gracefully and to walk with my head held high, win or lose. Those are all lessons that prepared me for the real world. In the real world, the opposing team doesn’t stop scoring so we can catch up.

Finally, in reference to Dr. Knore’s comment about the “unbelievable lack of class by the win-ning coach,” may I remind you, sir, that you are not a member of our community and your opinion of our coach matters very little to anyone? What does mat-ter, and what truly shows a lack of class, is for a retired school administrator who lives in Darke County to publicly attempt to defame the character of local high school athletes. Shame on you and shame on the Dai-ly Advocate for confusing your libelous, sensational-istic writing with an actual opinion piece. In the fu-ture, you may wish to focus your rants on people who truly deserve criticism, be-cause these Patriot boys are out of your league.

Public speaking students at Edison Community Col-lege are at the halfway point in their 16-week course. They have moved beyond the basics of how to make a presentation to the more complex areas of content preparation in different venues, from critical com-munication to persuasion and opinion.

A sample learning dis-cussion involved receiv-ing a 2:30 a.m. call from a runaway 12-year-old girl to a crisis intervention line. The students are volunteers on the service. She wants a place to stay for the night; volunteers know they are not allowed to leave their posts to assist callers. What do they do?

The answers are immedi-ate. Call the police. Give her the address of a homeless

SIDNEY – A champion of conservative values, for-mer Navy SEAL and former State House Whip John Ad-ams (R-Sidney), recently announced his candidacy for Ohio’s 12th State Senate District.

“It’s simple, I believe in common sense government that lets families keep more of their hard earned money, protecting unborn children, and energizing Ohio’s eco-nomic power by reducing spending deficits and bur-densome regulations,” said Adams. “Ohio needs conser-vative leadership, now more than ever.”

Conservative groups and leaders are already an-nouncing support for John Adams’ candidacy for the Ohio State Senate:

* Janet (Folger) Porter, founder of Faith2Action stated, “John Adams’ ef-forts to pass the pro-life Heartbeat Bill were heroic. I wholeheartedly endorse John Adams for State Sen-ate.”

* Lori Viars, of Conserva-

shelter. Call Children’s Ser-vices. Call a friend. Students offer a variety of options… never once seeking answers to crucial questions. This is a rural mountain commu-nity. There is no shelter. She will hide if she sees police; they took her back home once. Her parents are alco-holics; when they drink they beat her. Children’s Services is 25 miles away at the base of the mountain; it is only staffed from 8 to 5 p.m. She isn’t dressed for the weath-er… dead of winter, 10 de-grees outside. There are no open businesses except for a bar down the street, and her friend’s parents know her parents.

At this point – having gained all possible informa-tion about the situation – students are then required to make an ethical decision: do they tell the girl all they can do is call the sheriff, or do they violate the rules and pick her up? The latter deci-sion also requires consider-ation of a possible set-up. Is she the bait for someone waiting out of sight with the intent of doing harm? Most

chose to violate the rules, take their chances and give the child a safe place to sleep.

Students learned a valu-able lesson… before making a decision on anything, they had to obtain all the infor-mation they could about the topic or situation.

A topic one class chose for “discussion” was free healthcare. While a major-ity of students in two classes were against it, a significant segment was in favor of it.

Most students were in their early twenties or teens; at the same time over half of them were well aware of the Affordable Care Act. Due either to personal experi-ence or the experience of their parents, they believed it was the wrong approach to health care. They dis-cussed options. They asked questions. By the time they were done, they felt that with extensive research on all options there was a bet-ter answer.

My guess is they could probably come up with one. The catch, however, is do-ing research involves a lot of

reading. When they were in junior high were they will-ing to do the same (read) in order to achieve success?

“Mr. Robinson,” one stu-dent told me recently. “I see you in the paper!” Do you read the stories? “Naw,” he said. “I don’t read.” His friend, who was listen-ing, said she didn’t either. “The only reason I carry my books,” she added, “is be-cause I was told to.” Three other junior high students told me the same thing in the last two weeks… one even said she was okay with getting an F on her paper (actually reading the mate-rial was too much trouble).

So what happens be-tween junior high and col-lege? In five or six years, many of these students will be reading… maybe not with gusto but at least be-cause they know it’s neces-sary to succeed. But maybe some of them won’t. Why? For physiological reasons, maybe? Like the young lady who looked me square in the eyes and said…

“Reading makes my head hurt!”

tive Republican Leadership Committee also said, “You can tell that John Adams was a Navy SEAL! He fought valiantly for conservative values, even standing up to House Leadership to pass pro-life legislation.”

Adams has the legislative

and leadership experience needed to be effective in Co-lumbus. In 2011, Adams in-troduced the “Founding Fa-thers Bill” (HB167), which required educators to in-corporate into their course-

work, the Declaration of In-dependence, the U.S. Con-stitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Ohio Constitution. In 2014, Adams served the discharge petition to force the House to repeal Com-mon Core when the bill had died in committee. He later earned the title of “Pro-Life MVP” for his work on the Heartbeat Bill (HB248). Adams was the Chairman of the Ohio Delegation for the conservative organiza-tion ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Coun-

cil. He was named one of six national Legislators of the Year for his bill to phase out the personal income tax. John was also recognized as one of 17 nation-wide by WATCHDOG.org.

Ohio State Senate Dis-trict 12 incorporates all or parts of Allen, Auglaize, Champaign, Darke, Logan, Mercer, and Shelby Coun-ties.

Shown is the ministry team that went to Guatemala to build homes.

EUM Church builds homesGREENVILLE – Des-

tination Known, mission ministry at EUM Church in Greenville, is in their 10th year building homes for families living in the gar-bage dump communities in Guatemala. Partnering with Potter’s House Associ-ation International in Gua-temala, a team of eleven people from EUM travelled to Guatemala in February to build two more homes.

During this week-long mission trip, the team works attentively to build homes for families that make a living in very harsh conditions around the city garbage dump. These fami-lies live in shanties made of wood and metal fastened together with anything they can find. Most of them have dirt floors that allow the garbage to wash through during the rainy season, and many have no electric-ity or running water. At the end of the week, it is a bless-ing to present them with keys to a new home made of cinder blocks with ce-ment floors, a new tin roof, electricity and running wa-ter. This house may only be about 100 square feet, but it is so much more to the family that receives it! Visit

www.eumchurch.org to watch a video showing the house building process.

This year was a very special trip as Destination Known was able to bless Potter’s House with some amazing gifts. This mis-sion was Sherry Smith’s second time to Guatemala. Her first trip really made an impact on her life as God broke her heart for the peo-ple she served in the gar-bage dump communities. Sherry wanted to do more for them. Working through Whirlpool/Kitchen Aid of Greenville, she was able to have some much needed equipment donated to Pot-ter’s House via the Whirl-pool/Kitchen Aid factory in Guatemala. These items will be used to help prepare nutritious meals for the children in the education program.

Cliff Rapier, Mission Co-ordinator at EUM, shared that the Potter’s House edu-cation program was in des-perate need of computers. Jody Flommersfeld, who also took her second mis-sion trip this year to Guate-mala, wanted to help fill this need and collected enough money for seven new com-puters! The computers were purchased while the team was in Guatemala, and Jody was able to present them to the children in the educa-tion program.

What an amazing exam-ple of God’s faithfulness! Thank you, Sherry and Jody for your hard work and commitment to the people in Guatemala. Thanks also to Whirlpool/Kitchen Aid for their donations, and to those who made it pos-sible to purchase seven computers. Lives have been changed through this gen-erosity!

Destination Known also completes missions in Flor-ida and Alaska, and for the first time this year, in Haiti. You do not need to be a member of EUM Church to participate in any opportu-nity provided. Contact Cliff Rapier at 548-3211 ext. 212 or [email protected] or visit www.eumchurch.org for more information, as well as view a video from the February trip.

GREENVILLE – Home-town Hero Sunday will be held on March 15 when lo-cal blood donor Jesse Cas-sell will be honored for all he has done and continues to do in our community. The East Main Church of Christ, 419 East Main St., Greenville, will be recog-nizing Cassell as the 2015 recipient of the 14th annu-al Hometown Hero award during the 10:30 a.m. wor-ship service.

Cassell, at 93 years old, is Darke County’s oldest active blood donor accord-ing to Dana Puterbaugh, account representative with the Community Blood Center. Jesse is a dedicated volunteer who schedules to donate blood anytime he can and he will have donat-ed 10 gallons with the CBC before the year is over. He’s been giving blood in Darke County since he moved here around 1997, but he’s been donating since the 1950’s. Jesse feels that giv-ing blood is “the Christian thing to do” in order to help others and to even “save somebody else’s life.”

Beyond donating blood, Cassell’s life has always focused on serving others. After World War II, he la-bored with the Soil Conser-vation Service described as a “work of national im-portance”. After return-ing to Ohio, despite being busy raising three children and working for 20 years at NCR and more than 10 years at Hobart in Troy, he took the time to do things like serving as the coor-dinator of the FISH food

ministry in West Milton. He also taught Junior High boys and served as the Sun-day School Superintendent at the Potsdam Church of the Brethren. Even now, after the passing of his wife Mary Esther who Jesse was married to for nearly 64 years, he continues to help others doing things such as volunteering with the Senior Resource Group at the Brethren Retirement Community.

The special service will also include special music by Kandee Combs and a message by Minister Jim Morehouse entitled “Blood Donor Needed.” After the service, the church will be having a fellowship Meal that everyone is invited to attend. For more informa-tion, the church may be contacted at 547-1557.

Farmers who have their fer-tilizer applied by co-ops or custom applicators are not required to be certified.

Farmers and applica-tors need to attend a train-ing course offered by Ohio State University Extension to become certified. Those who have a pesticide appli-cator license need to attend a two-hour fertilizer certifi-cation. If an applicator does not have a pesticide license,

NEW MADISON – Several Tri-Village (TV) athletes were recently

recognized by the Cross County Conference (CCC) for standout performances over the 2014-15 varsity basketball season.

Senior Ecko Brown was named the girls Player of the Year by the CCC. She helped lead the team to a CCC title with an unde-feated (12-0) conference record.

“This was a well de-served honor for her,” TV girls varsity basketball head coach Brad Gray said. “I am very proud of Ecko and what she has ac-complished!”

Tri-Village senior boys Coltin Linkous and Da-mion Cook were awarded as conference Co-Players of the Year. Their superb contributions helped the Patriots finish with an un-defeated season and secure a conference champion-ship, not to mention a #1 ranking in the Associated Press state poll.

“Both deserved this honor for their overall

production on the floor,” Tri-Village boys basketball coach Josh Sagester stat-ed. “Our one-two punch has been a very good for-mula for our success and may very well be the top in Southwest Ohio in my opinion.”

After coaching his team to a perfect (19-0) regu-lar season and conference championship, Coach Sag-ester was honored as the CCC boys basketball Coach of the Year.

“I’m very humbled to receive the award, Coach Sagester told The Early Bird. “Obviously, it is a by-product of having very good players!”

The Tri-Village girls bas-ketball team’s season came to an unexpected end Feb. 28, with a heartbreaking five point loss in sectional play. The boys played New-ton in Division IV Friday night at Troy High School. Log on to bluebagmedia.com to see the results from the semi-final game.

Lady Indians win TEC title


www.bluebagmedia.comGREENVILLE - After

the first conference title in 60 years, Greenville boys basketball is defi-nitely heading in the right direction.

Recently, the Greater Western Ohio Confer-ence (GWOC) recognized members of the program for stand-out performanc-es on the court in the 2014-15 season.

Head Coach Michael Bashore was named the GWOC North Coach of the Year. In just his third year coaching the Wave, Bashore has helped turn the program around from just two overall season wins before taking over, to a school record 17 victo-ries in the 2014-15 regular season.

Greenville junior Clay-ton Guillozet was hon-ored as the GWOC North Player of the Year after recording a record perfor-mance on the court this past season. Guillozet hit the 1,000 point mark and led the entire conference in points per game with a 22.4 average. He was also listed in the top five in the GWOC for field goal per-centage and was the only non-senior player to make First Team All-GWOC. He was also listed on the First Team GWOC-North.

“This is a huge honor and I owe it to my coach, family and teammates for helping me accomplish so much in my career,” Guil-lozet told The Early Bird. “I couldn’t be more thank-ful for everything that I have and look forward to being back on the court my

senior year.”In addition to Bashore

and Guillozet, senior Aaron Balsbaugh was named to First Team GWOC-North for big numbers in blocked shots and rebounds for the year. Senior Allen Tabler, who was listed in the GWOC top five for as-sists per game, along with sophomore Isaiah Gable

made the Second Team GWOC-North to round out the conference honors for the Green Wave in 2014-15.

Greenville made it to round two of sectional play, falling to Xenia March 4 by a final score of 54-52. They ended the season with an 18-5 overall record.


www.bluebagmedia.comUNION CITY, Ind. -

The Union City girls bas-ketball team recently won the Tri-Eastern Confer-ence championship.

The Lady Indians fin-ished the 2014-15 season with a 15-9 overall record and 6-1 in conference play. The title comes af-ter only the fourth year of Head Coach Sarah Hines taking over the program. This is the first time since 2002 the Lady Indians have been a part of a conference title, ac-cording to Coach Hines.

“It is a great testament to our athletes and espe-cially our seniors,” Coach

Hines told The Early Bird. “They started this journey with me as freshmen and have done a lot to build this program back up and get it to where it is now.”

Coach Hines gives majority of the credit to

outgoing seniors, Rael-ynn Mills, Reagan Brad-bury and Jessica Pol-litt, for playing a vital role in securing the con-ference title. However, the team has some big talent returning to the

floor for the 2015-16 sea-son in hopes to repeat as champs.

GREENVILLE – Al-though the deadline to become a 4-H member in Darke County is not until April 1, now is the time to begin thinking about join-ing a 4-H club.

If you or someone you know is interested in learn-ing more about the 4-H program in Darke County, plan to attend the 4-H Open House, March 9, 6:30-8 p.m. at All Seasons Place, Lighthouse Christian Cen-ter, 5256 Sebring Warner Road, Greenville.

Attendees of the open house will have the op-portunity to visit club dis-plays and talk to current 4-H members and advisors about what 4-H has to of-fer.

grade as of January 1 of the current year. Ohio 4-H membership ends Decem-ber 31 of the year in which an individual attains the age of 19.

Boys and girls enrolled in the 4-H program have educational and fun experi-ences with their friends at meetings, social activities, tours, 4-H camp and the county fair. They learn by actually doing interesting things, such as taking care of animals, cake decorat-ing, community service ac-tivities, and cleaning up the environment.

GREENVILLE – Cure your cabin fever and get out of the house. There’s a hidden gem you can visit in Greenville. The Anna Bier Gallery in Memorial Hall is hosting the paintings of Dan Knepper during the month of March.

Many of the oil paint-ings feature those amaz-ing sunrises or sunsets we all wish we could capture. The watercolors figures on display have won state and national awards and one was recently a finalist in an international competition.

Dan says, “I started painting because I liked fac-es and the challenge of cap-turing them…. The light in a person’s eye, or the glow as it passes through skin. The human face and figure are amazing. They are the basis of our standard of elegance and proportion. Painting with watercolors

allows me to capture that as if using layers of little chips of stained glass.

It’s sounds cliché, but the more I’ve painted, the more I realized it was the atmosphere of light I was trying to capture…And so when I paint landscapes, it’s the light, and its effects, the illumination of leaves and grasses, the glowing shadows, the dance of the sunset on the water, and those amazing moments when the air itself has col-or, that I try to capture and pass on.

I hope you’ll step into the moments. Feel the rocking of the waves, hear the wind through the grass, feel the sunlight, explore the barns, and take the path beyond that next hill.”

Take a few minutes to get out of the house, explore the gallery, and enjoy the warmth of the paintings.

ARCANUM – Spring is just around the corner, and with it comes a flurry of ac-tivity! The Arcanum Pub-lic Library invites you to come enjoy all of the events and activities planned for March. There will be the usual story time fun on Wednesdays during the month. The sessions are at 10 and 11 a.m. and are for children of preschool age. Bring your child to hear stories, make a craft, and sing songs. The after school club for kids in grades 1-4 p.m., AfterWords, will meet on March 4, 18, and 25. It starts after school, and goes until 4:45 p.m.

On March 7, the library is inviting all Teenage Mu-tant Ninja Turtle fans to join them for a day of fun! Come to the library at 10 a.m. to watch the movie, enjoy pizza, and make a craft. There will be a prize for the best dressed Ninja Turtle.

March 11 is a “Trivia Fun” afternoon for kids after school. They will be having two sessions, one beginning at 12:30 and the other at 1:30 p.m. Team up with friends, or go it alone as they test your knowledge

of all sorts of topics. Feel free to stay for one session or both as they have a snack and work their brains! The trivia fun will end at 3 p.m.

On March 19, the library is hosting a Teddy Bear Sleepover! They are invit-ing stuffed animals to come enjoy an overnight of fun. Bring your furry friend to the library on Thursday at 7 p.m. and stay for a short program which will include a story and a craft. Your stuffed animal can then spend the evening in the library for more night time amusement, and wait for you to pick it back up on Friday.

On March 20, 10 a.m., they will be having a class on career networking. This class will focus on the LinkedIn site, and will teach you how to navigate through it. This class is be-ing presented by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. Drop in to the library or give them a call and they can add your name to the list!

SeniorsEuchre

GREENVILLE – Se-niors Euchre is held every Thursday, noon to 3 p.m., at the Greenville VFW on Ohio Street. The public is welcome.

Developmental Screenings

GREENVILLE – A free screening day for infants and toddlers (newborns and children up to age three) who are residents of Darke County is planned for March 25, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The developmental screenings will include checks for motor, communi-cation, cognitive, self-help, and social/emotional skills. The screenings will be held at the Darke County Health Department, 300 Garst Ave., Greenville. Call 547-9392 to make an appointment.

GREENVILLE – The Dayton Power and Light Company Foundation has once again given a very gen-erous donation to Darke County Center for the Arts (DCCA) in support of Fami-ly Theatre Series and Arts in Education programs. Fam-ily Theater Series programs are presented at St. Clair Memorial Hall and are open to the public. Programs are generally based on chil-dren’s literature; ticket pric-es are just $5.

Through Arts in Educa-tion, and in conjunction with local schools, performing artists are annually taken to each grade of every pub-lic school in Darke County, ensuring that children in the community have the op-portunity to learn and grow through the arts. According to DCCA Executive Direc-tor Andrea Jordan, “DP&L Company Foundation’s support of children’s pro-gramming makes it possible for us to present wonderful, creativity enhancing Family Theatre Series programs at an affordable ticket price,

Craft beers chosen for Irish WaveGREENVILLE – “Irish

Wave,” Darke County Cen-ter for the Arts’ St. Patrick’s Day-themed fundraiser will be held March 13 at Mon-tage Cafe in downtown Greenville and will feature an array of fine craft beers provided by Heidelberg Distributing Company. A bounty of Irish-themed hors d’oeuvres, plus six tastes of beer and a keep-sake commemorative 2015 Irish Wave pint glass are included in the price of admission; wine and other beverages will also be avail-able for non-beer drinkers.

Music for the event will be furnished by “Lone Ra-ven,” a highly-regarded Ohio-based band that per-forms an eclectic blend of traditional Irish music as well as their own originals.

According to DCCA Ex-ecutive Director Andrea Jordan, the beer selections include a variety of popular styles. “Stouts aged in bour-bon barrels are all the rage right now, and we’ll be serv-ing one made in the heart of bourbon country by Blue-grass Brewing Company in Louisville,” Ms. Jordan ex-plained. “These tasty brews are sweet and complex, and

not meant to quench your thirst on a hot summer day, but are perfect as a winter warmer,” she stated.

According to Ms. Jordan, Anchor Brewing Zymaster No. 6 Saaremaa Island Ale, a medium-bitter pale ale, is a unique brew inspired by a journey to an Estonian island in the Baltic Sea. An-chor’s Brewmaster Mark Carpenter brought brewer’s yeast native to Saaremaa Island back home with him from the island, then cul-tured his own special strain to attain the unique charac-ter he had so admired in the island’s indigenous beers. “This deliciously distinctive ale transports beer-lovers on a journey, providing a little vacation to a unique place,” Ms. Jordan said.

Columbus’ Elevator Brewing Company’s Bleed-ing Buckeye Red Ale, a favorite from past “Irish Wave” parties will also be served. “This beer is a real winner, just like the Buck-eye football team for which it was named,” Ms. Jordan commented. Sierra Ne-vada’s Beer Camp Hoppy Lager, and Black Butte Por-ter from Deschutes Brewery in Bend, Oregon will also be

among the “Irish Wave” of-ferings.

“Irish Wave” sponsors are Second National Bank, The Andersons Marathon LLC, Edward Jones Invest-ment representatives Ryan Carpe, Dave Connelly, An-dria Haworth, Todd Subler and Bill Wolke, Dr. Thom-as and Suzanne Brown, and Zechar Bailey Funeral Home. Proceeds from the

event benefit DCCA’s many programs including Arts in Education and the Family Theatre Series.

Tickets for “Irish Wave” are $35, and can be re-served by contacting DCCA at 937-547-0908 or [email protected], or pur-chased on-line at www.cen-terforarts.net. Tickets are also available at Montage Cafe.

G R E E N -VILLE – With spring less than a month away, most Darke Coun-ty residents are not too w e l c o m i n g

of more snow and cold temperatures. When 32-year-old Lloyd Haack of Greenville woke to almost six more inches of snowfall Sunday, March 1, he im-mediately called his friend Sarah to grab her son and come help build an ‘Abomi-nable Snowman’!

Growing up in Michi-gan, Haack told The Early Bird he and his two siblings used to spend hours in the snow building snowmen and igloos.

As Sarah Hiestand ar-rived with 5-year-old Col-tin at about 11 a.m., the three began building the snowman in the front yard of the Howard Drive home. Watching from inside the home, Kyle Olwine decided to jump in the fun after see-ing the first ball of snow getting rolled.

As the snowman got tall-er, Haack said they worked as a team using lumber to create a ramp and the tail-gate of his new F150 truck to get the upper portions of the body in place. After the head was on, the group added potato eyes, a cu-cumber nose, branch arms and an old planter hat. A scarf made of Christmas

decorations was then add-ed after young Coltin sug-gested adding lights

After it was all said and done, the snowman mea-sured a staggering 13 feet high. According to Haack, it caught the attention of

every motorist who passed by and the neighbors who came out and took several photos which were immedi-ately shared on Facebook.

“It was fun to see ev-erybody excited about it,” Haack said. “The last thing

to be excited about on March 1st is more snow, but I wanted to make the most of it while it is here!”

Log on to bluebagmedia.com for photos showing the complete building of the snowman.

G R E E N -VILLE – “We did lots of brainstorm-ing… differ-ent ideas… this one kind of fell into place,” said

the Greenville High School juniors. “We did some-thing that’s going to have an impact. It’s definitely unique… there’s never been a fundraiser like this to honor Special Olym-pics.”

The fundraiser? A Night in Hollywood to Benefit Special Olympics. While that is one purpose of the event, there is also anoth-er… A Supply Chain Man-agement Team presenta-tion for Business Profes-sionals of America (BPA).

The students, Logan Emrick, BPA State Secre-tary, Chelsea Stout, Terin Ellis and Addison Hart, took first place against four

other teams in Regional presentations. They’ll be competing at State in Co-lumbus March 12 and 13. “If we win we go to Nation-als in Anaheim, Calif.” The girls were excited about the possibility… going to California for a presenta-tion. “I’ve never seen the ocean before,” said one.

The benefit itself will be held April 18 in the high school gym. It is a “Black Tie” event for dinner and a show. Guests will be served “Black Tie Hotdogs,” spar-kling grape juice and pop-corn.

Tickets are $10 for stu-dents, $15 for adults and $200 for a table (of eight). They said the Greenville administration is buying a table; Woodland Heights has already bought one. “Their tickets are going to the families,” the students said. In addition to Table Sponsors, donors can be-come Star Sponsors for

$300 and Event Sponsors for $500. Individuals and businesses can buy “stars” for as little as a dollar. Other sizes are $5, $10 and Business Stars for larger amounts. The team’s goal is to raise $7,000 for Spe-cial Olympics.

On Feb. 26 & 27 team members held four infor-mational presentations of their planned fundraising opportunity. They invited potential sponsors and gave them four time op-tions to view the presenta-tion and make a commit-ment to help sponsor the event. According to Dara Buchy, they were success-ful.

“Fifteen businesses at-tended,” she said. “Dona-tions were promised from most of them.”

The team gave a Pow-erpoint presentation ex-plaining the event and how it was going to work. It was planned as a “Spe-

cial Olympics event that is all about them.” On April 18 the doors will open for guests at 5:30 p.m. The stars will arrive and walk in on the red carpet… pa-parazzi will be there. Re-freshments are served about 6:15 and the evening officially begins with a tal-ent show at 6:30. There will be a silent auction of art created by the partici-pants, a “Who’s the Baby?” game, an awards ceremony and more.

“We worked so hard (on this),” said one of the students. They noted they were in a classroom for “hours and hours and hours;” they worked on President’s Day, snow days… they walked up and down Broadway delivering flyers. Compared to a tra-ditional “weighted” course at the high school, the team members said “this is double… triple the time we spent on weighted courses.

We’re excited!”The students thanked

Greenville High School’s IMTV (Interactive Me-dia group) for their help. “They filmed our speech-es; they’re putting them on WAVE (Time Warner

Channel 5) and making public service announce-ments for us.”

Buchy is proud of her students. “They scored a 98 in their Regional. That’s the highest score I’ve ever seen!”

G R E E N -VILLE – A jury was c o n v i n c e d Wednesday, March 4 that 54-year-old Randy Ho-facker was re-

sponsible for violently rob-bing an elderly Greenville woman at her home last August. However, the jury did not believe the state proved beyond a reason-able doubt that Hofacker used a pair of scissors while committing the crime.

The two day jury trial began Tuesday, March 3 with Hofacker facing one count each of Aggravated Robbery, a first degree felony; and Robbery, a second degree felony. He was charged after an in-vestigation led detectives to believe he physically as-saulted 90-year-old Ruby Cool at her East Fourth Street home in Greenville on Aug. 2, 2014.

According to Cool, she knew Hofacker by the name “Jeff” and loaned

him money on at least two occasions prior to the of-fense. She told the jury during her testimony that Hofacker came to her home just before 11 p.m. the night of the offense.

“He knocked on my door and I turned on the porch light to see who it was,” Cool stated during Wednesday’s direct exam-ination by Darke County Assistant Prosecuting At-torney Deborah S. Quig-ley. “I told him to leave, but then he said he had the money he owed me so I let him in.”

She went on to tell the jury how “Jeff” grabbed her by the arms and sat her down on her bed while demanding she give him money.

“I couldn’t move when he grabbed my arms so hard,” Cool testified. “He hurt me!”

She went on to explain how he took the $2 from her Bible that she had ready for the church offer-ing plate the next morn-ing.

“I realized I was loose for a moment so I pushed open the porch door and yelled… I need help,” Cool concluded.

According to testimony by Cool’s next door neigh-bor, Dave Hendrix, ran over to investigate what was going on after hearing Ruby scream. Hendrix told the jury he only saw the as-sailant briefly as he ran out the back door of Ruby’s house, but after thinking it over he realized he recog-nized the suspect as being Hofacker.

Defense attorney Ran-dall E. Breaden made the jury aware that Hendrix and Cool were unable to get a good look at the rob-bery suspect due to inad-equate lighting and Ruby having medical vision is-sues. Breaden also put wit-nesses on the stand that confirmed Hofacker was over two miles away from the location and would have had a hard time get-ting there and back in the window of time in ques-tion.

Lead Detective Jason Marion of the Greenville Police Department testi-fied to the contradicting stories by Hofacker and the friend that he was with watching a Reds baseball game that night. In addi-tion, results from touch DNA evidence on a cut tele-phone cord and robe that Cool was wearing matched the defendant according to testimony by two Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) analysts called to testify on Tuesday as state witnesses.

Cool’s injuries included bruising to her facial area, both arms and a scratch on her left arm Quigley want-ed the jury to know was caused by the scissors that Hofacker allegedly had on his person during the rob-bery.

After a deliberation lasting just over an hour, the jury returned with a ‘guilty’ verdict on the count of Robbery, but agreed to acquit Hofacker on the more severe charge of Aggravated Robbery

that accused him of using a deadly weapon during the offense.

Darke County Com-mon Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein ordered a pre-sentence investiga-tion (PSI) before Hofacker returns for sentencing on March 16 at 1:30 p.m. He has previous convictions of felony theft from an el-derly person in 2010 and 2013 according to court

records. Hofacker faces a maximum of eight years in prison for the second de-gree felony conviction.

Judge Hein agreed with a motion to modify Ho-facker’s current bond from $25,000 to $250,000. He was taken into custody by the Darke County Sheriff’s Office.

Darke Co.BOE meets

GREENVILLE – The Darke County Board of Elections will be meeting on March 9, 2 p.m., for a regularly scheduled board meeting.

DARKE CO. – Darke County area businesses, organizations, and schools, will host several blood drives in March. Everyone who registers to donate will receive the St. Pat-rick’s Day “With a Little Love and a Bit of Luck We Can Save a Life – Donate Blood” t-shirt. Donors are encouraged to schedule an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com.

Who doesn’t love St. Patrick’s Day and the an-nual opportunity to be just a wee bit Irish? The St. Patrick’s Day t-shirt is free when you register to donate March 2-28 at any CBC Donor Center and most CBC mobile blood drives.

The St. Patrick’s Day t-shirt is grey with the mes-sage “With a Little Love and

a Bit of Luck We Can Save a Life – Donate Blood” in green lettering. The design features a four-leaf clover with three heart-shaped leaves in green and one in white with the CBC blood drop logo.

The rare quad-clover is considered the luckiest of lucky charms. According to Irish tradition, the three-leaves symbolize the Holy Trinity. When a Shamrock is found with a fourth leaf, it represents God’s grace. The shirt will be charm-ing to wear as we welcome spring, and especially on St. Paddy’s Day, March 17.

Maintaining the blood supply can be challenging during late winter and ear-ly spring due to inclement weather and illness. If you have to miss an appoint-ment, CBC encourages you

to reschedule when you are able. We especially encour-age the continued support of type O whole blood do-nors and type A/B platelet and plasma donors.

The following blood drives are open to the com-munity and appointments are encouraged.

GREENVILLE – With daylight savings time ap-proaching, the Greenville Fire Department urges you to install a new bat-tery in each smoke detec-tor of your home when you “spring ahead” the time on your clocks. It has been proven that a work-ing smoke detector is the single most effective tool in surviving a house fire.

In a telephone survey conducted in the US 96-97 percent of household have at least one smoke alarm, about 53 percent of all re-ported house fires did the smoke alarm operate prop-erly. “This (negligence) is to blame for the majority of fire-related deaths and in-juries in the U.S.” Research provided by the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), and supported by the statistics from local fire departments nation-wide, shows a direct cor-relation between survival

in a fire and the presence of working smoke detec-tors. According to the In-ternational Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) “detec-tors equipped with batter-ies checked regularly and changed every year double the odds for survival.”

The widespread ac-ceptance and availability of smoke detectors in the early 1980s greatly in-creased the nation’s prog-ress in decreasing fire-re-lated deaths and injuries. However, in the 1990s that progress slowed dramati-cally; and battery neglect is believed to have played a leading role in this disturb-ing trend. To aid our local community in avoiding unnecessary fire-related tragedies, the Greenville Fire Department offers the following suggestions:

* Install at least one working smoke detector (with a fresh battery) on each level of your home.

* Because smoke rises, smoke detectors should be placed on the ceiling or at the highest point on the wall.

* Ensure each detector in your home is operating properly by pressing the “test” button at least once a month.

* Never remove the bat-tery from your smoke de-tector except to install a new one.

In 37 percent of fire re-lated deaths there was no smoke detector present in the home. The risk of a death happening in a fire is cut in half when there is a working smoke alarm present. The City of Green-ville Fire Department will provide and install a free smoke detector to those in need. Stop at the Fire De-partment office Monday-Thursday 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m.-1 p.m. to fill a request form.

Mehaffie is chairman of Edison’s board PIQUA – Darryl Me-

haffie has been elected to serve as chairman of Edi-son Community College’s Board of Trustees. Mehaff-ie’s appointment will be for the next two years.

As a member of Edison’s Board of Trustees for over 15 years, Mehaffie is accus-tomed to the college and realizes the significance in being named chairman. “I was pleased to learn of my election to chairman and look forward to leading Edison’s Board of Trustees in the upcoming years,” said Mehaffie. “The first order of business is hiring a new president to lead the

college. In doing this, we hope to take this outstand-ing institution to the next level.”

Teaching at Northmont City Schools in Englewood for over 30 years has af-forded Mehaffie with con-siderable expertise in edu-cation. Retiring in 1996, Mehaffie continues to serve on numerous boards and committees advocat-ing for education, agricul-ture, arts and the region.

Mehaffie has been ac-tively involved with the Ohio Association of Com-munity Colleges since 2002, serving as chairman of the state organization,

These programs are part of the Growing Harvest Seed Library. Librarian Ra-chel Brock started the Seed Library last year with 29 members and hopes for a big increase this year. The idea is to borrow seeds, plant them, and return a few from your harvest to the Li-brary for next year. She ex-plains the program needs to become self-sustaining with local seeds because they will have adapted to our climate and soil.

Refreshments will be served.
