Greenville Fire Department flushing hydrants June 1-30

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Fire Depart-ment will begin flush-ing hydrants on June 1 through June 30. Anyone living within four blocks of any of the streets near the hydrants being flushed should be aware your wa-ter may also be affected.

GREENVILLE – The Darke County Retired Teachers’ Association (DCRTA) hosted its annual Teacher of the Year Ban-quet on Thursday, May 21 and presented several cov-eted awards and scholar-ships to local individuals.

Seven worthy candidates were nominated for the 2015 Teacher of the Year Award by their individual schools, with Tricia Seu-bert, Mississinawa Valley Language Arts educator, coming out on top.

“Union City is an excel-lent community with super students, and I’m thankful to have a job there,” Seu-bert remarked. “Receiving this award is wonderful.”

Sponsored by retired ed-ucator, Nancy Person, Seu-bert is a graduate of Wright State University and hails from Sandusky.

Other candidates includ-ed Kim Pearson of Ansonia, Tim DeBrosse of Arcanum, Patrick McKee of Bradford, Eric Lorents of Greenville, Dana Heckman of Tri-Vil-lage and Susan Buschur of Versailles.

Receiving the C. Michael Crawford Mentor Award was Karla Holzapfel, sev-enth and eighth grade inter-vention specialist at Green-ville Junior High School.

The 11th year for the mentorship program, the purpose is to train teachers to help and support those new to the profession. This year Darke County boasts 30 new teachers who were assigned with a mentor to ensure a successful first year.

“I wanted teachers who came to Greenville to feel the positive connection that I have and truly want to make a career in our district,” said Holzapfel, a seven year veteran to the teaching profession.

“One of the most impor-tant things a mentor can do is to help your resident educator become who they are, not who you are,” she added.

The DCRTA also sup-

ports students heading into the education field by awarding scholarships to assist in the pursuit of their academic goals.

Lindsey Didier of Ver-sailles and Makensy Stump of Ansonia each received a $400 scholarship from the organization.

Didier will attend Ball State University with the intent to teach English in seventh through 12th grade as well as receive her add-on certificate to teach Eng-lish as a second language.

Stump is attending Wright State Lake Campus

pursuing a degree in Middle Childhood Education with a specialization in Social Studies and mathematics.

A member of the Ohio Retired Teacher’s Organi-zation since 1973, DCRTA offers the opportunity to interact with other retired educators, to remain in-formed about legislative issues regarding issues such as health care and re-tirement benefits, to be in-volved in worthwhile com-munity activities, and to explore subjects of interest to retired educators.

DARKE COUNTY – The Friends of the Shelter group recently purchased a safe-ty ballistic vest for Darke County’s K9 Unit Deputy Eric.

The 4-year-old German Shepherd has been with the department since May 2014 and has assisted with nu-merous drug searches and other situations.

The non-profit group

paid nearly a $1,000 for the vest according to Duane Sanning, director of the Darke County Animal Shel-ter for the past 15 years.

“It was their way to say thank you to the depart-ment and help keep Eric safe while on the job,” San-ning told The Early Bird.

The harness-style vest is made of lightweight Kevlar fabric and is waterproof. In addition to being bullet proof, the vest is also stab resistant in case a suspect tried to injure Eric using a knife.

ter group holds a number of fundraisers each year to help raise money for up-grades to the shelter facil-ity and to be able to make purchases like the vest for Eric.

“With the Darke County Shelter operating on a tight budget, the group is vital in bringing in funds that just wouldn’t be available otherwise,” said Sanning

According to Eric’s partner, Deputy Jay Pear-son, the vest has only been used a couple times in ac-tion so far, but knows the vest will come in handy for plenty of future situations where Darke County’s K9 Unit will be dispatched to assist.

“Thank you to the Darke County Friends of the Shel-ter for their gracious do-nation of a ballistic vest to help keep my K9 partner Eric safe,” said Deputy Pearson.

GREENVILLE – “The class did everything. I was just there to hold their hand,” said GJHS teacher Jamie Boomershine. “This is the first class to do this…” 40 Greenville City Schools 8th graders just finished a “service-learning” project they have “worked very hard to complete,” accord-ing to Boomershine. They developed and implement-ed a project to benefit pa-tients at Dayton Children’s Hospital.

They sent about 120 Care Packages for chil-dren, plus 20 board games, did room decorations and small gifts, like friendship bracelets, coloring books, slinkies and silly putty. They also donated $370 to the hospital for kids who

couldn’t afford treatment. “They raised $670 dollars over a four-day period,” Boomershine said.

Boomershine added she basically just tossed out a thought… the kids ran with it. They researched differ-ent types of projects. Some of the options were the children’s hospital, Kids for Foster Care, the Burn Unit, ALS, Wounded War-riors… they had to submit a formal proposal for each idea. They discussed all of them before voting on the project they wanted.

“They chose Dayton Children’s because they realized a lot of students in the system are receiving treatment from the hos-pital,” Boomershine said. “They recognized a com-munity need.”

Once the project was chosen, the students then had to fill out an applica-tion for the job they want-

ed. There were five catego-ries: research, fundraising, treasury, public relations and managers. “Every-one got on a committee,” Boomershine said, “but the applications gave them practice for when they would have to do it later in life.” She added there were two managers in each of her two classes. “They had to take over the leadership of their classes. They were also responsible for the coordination between the classes.”

The students raised the dollars during Spirit Week. Donate a dollar each day to: wear a hat, chew gum, wear pajamas and have a snack. “$670 is a lot of money these kids raised in just four days,” Boomer-shine said.

“They did it on their own,” she repeated. “They are the first ones to do it; it’s a legacy for the classes that come after them.” She added each class would be researching and choosing its own project. “It is a big service learning project with a theme of citizen-ship.”

How did the students feel about their accom-plishment? “Pretty good,” said one. “Pretty awe-some,” said another. Most just smiled.

Parent charged with child endangering after kid sneaks outCHILD ENDANGERING

On May 22 police re-sponded to Kathy’s Res-taurant, Warren & Martin

Streets, regarding a small child – approximately two years old and wearing only a diaper – playing between

the restaurant parking lot and the street. The child’s father, Robert Feitshans, 420 Warren St., said he had no idea where his son was as he’d been upstairs sleeping. The front door was wide open. Feitshans said the child is able to get the door unlocked and he had done nothing to pre-vent it. He was cited for child endangerment.

ASSAULTOn May 25 police were

dispatched regarding an assault (name of victim and exact address not used due to the possibility of a Domestic Violence charge). The victim said Keith Dis-pennette had head butted her in the forehead, pushed her down in a chair then locked her out of the resi-dence where she’d been staying for several months. No injury was observed to her forehead but there were two small scratches from when she had been pushed. A relative of Dispennette arrived and told police the victim had only been stay-ing a few nights but then leaving and not coming back for several days. The report was sent to the Pros-ecutor to determine if the incident is an assault or do-mestic violence.

FIRE INVESTIGATIONOn May 24 police were

dispatched to Front Street and Harrison Avenue re-garding a vehicle fire. A yellow box truck was fully engulfed in flames. The cab and engine were heavily damaged and Asst. Chief McDermitt said he believed the cause was intentional. No suspects at this time.

by hitting a trash dumpster behind Danny’s Place. The vehicle, driven by the de-fendant (unnamed in the report), was stopped at Cy-press and Wayne Streets. The defendant said he hit a deer, however green paint – the same as used on the dumpster – was on the ve-hicle. The defendant admit-ted to hitting the dumpster. The officer smelled an alco-holic beverage on him. He said he’d had two beers. He did poorly on the field so-briety test; he was arrested for OVI and transported to the Greenville Police Sta-tion. He agreed to a breath test and registered .11. He was placed under Admin-istrative License Suspen-sion (ALS) and released to a friend.

On May 17 police were dispatched to McDonald’s, 1301 Wagner Ave., regard-ing a possible intoxicated driver with slurred speech and an open alcoholic bev-erage container. Police ob-served the driver, Jacob Howell, travel left of the center line when making a turn off Ohio Street onto Fourth Street. In approach-ing Howell, police observed slurred speech and a strong odor of an alcoholic bever-age. He said he only had one beer. He agreed to a field sobriety test and did poorly on it. He was arrest-ed for OVI and transported to the Greenville Police Sta-tion. His breath test result was .12. Howell was placed under ALS and released to his mother.

On May 24 police were dispatched to Ohio and River Streets regarding a report of a vehicle in the ditch. The vehicle was still running and the driver, Cameron Sanders, still in the vehicle. His eyes were bloodshot, speech slightly slurred and a strong odor of alcoholic beverage com-ing from him. Sanders did poorly on the field sobri-ety test, was arrested for OVI and transported to the Greenville Police Station. A breath test registered .13. He was placed under ALS, given the citation for OVI and one for failure to main-tain reasonable control and released to his fiancé.

On May 22 dispatch re-ceived a call about a truck with trailer driving at a high rate of speed all over the highway. He was lo-cated on Sycamore near West Fourth Street. The defendant (not named in the report) was shaky, ner-vous, had slow speech and bloodshot eyes. He said was on multiple prescrip-tion drugs. Prescription bottles had warnings they shouldn’t be taken when operating machinery or driving vehicles. The de-fendant did poorly on the field sobriety test. He was arrested for OVI and trans-ported to the Greenville Po-lice station. He fell asleep several times while at the station. The defendant was placed under ALS for two years. The report notes the

defendant has prior OVI convictions in 2002, 2008 and 2011. The defendant is also under child support suspension and is not valid to drive. He also stated his insurance had been can-celled. The defendant was released to his father.

TRAFFIC OFFENSEOn May 25 police re-

sponded to a report of a green dirt bike driving recklessly in the areas of East Fifth Street, then West Third Street. The of-ficer observed the dirt bike on Vine Street traveling at a high rate of speed. It went through a stop sign and continued toward SR 502. The officer activated lights and siren for a traffic stop; the bike sped up, ap-proaching 80 mph on 502 before finally coming to a stop. The driver was Zach-ery Flippo who stated he was testing the bike out and did not see or hear the offi-cer. The bike did not have a valid registration nor did Flippo have a motorcycle endorsement. He was un-able to prove he owned the bike. He was cited for reck-less operation and driving a dirt bike on the city streets without a valid motorcycle license. The bike was towed with a ‘no hold’ on it.

On May 15 police ob-served Jason Landis oper-ating a vehicle on Ludlow Street near East Fourth

Street. Landis’ license is currently under suspen-sion; a traffic stop was ini-tiated. Landis stopped the vehicle, allowing it to roll partially into the roadway. He stated he is aware he did not have a driver’s license; the officer confirmed the vehicle was not registered to him. Due to the vehicle being illegally parked, a tow truck was called. The vehicle owner’s estranged wife and Landis’ friend, Shanna Cates, showed up wanting to take the vehicle. She was advised only the owner, Donald Cates, her estranged husband and registered owner, could make arrangements with the tow truck to have the vehicle released to her. This was done. Landis was cited for Driving Under Suspen-sion.

CPO VIOLATIONOn May 21 police were

dispatched to Colonial Mo-bile Home Park, 5438 St. Rt. 49, Lot 21, regarding a CPO (Civil Protection Or-der) violation. The victim, John Debord, told police the suspect, Dan Alder-man, drove past his resi-dence. Witnesses advised the same. Alderman admit-ted to the offense, saying he had forgotten he had to drive in the other direction to leave the park. He was cited for CPO violation.

[email protected] – Work

hard. Study hard. Be hap-py! Mr. Westfall’s message to his third grade math classes is simple… Go Math! “Bust that PARCC Test,” do well and earn a Westfall Buck.

His was one of the rooms Woodland second grad-ers visited on May 14. He spent a few minutes talk-ing to them and answering some questions. Some-times the students paused at a room with the teacher greeting them with a smile and a wave; other times they entered the room for a brief talk, as they did in Mr. Westfall’s. In addition to math, science and lan-guage arts, they met the teachers for gym, art, mu-sic and the library.

Several busloads of stu-dents arrived at specific intervals, were treated to a tour of the third grade rooms and returned to their bus just as the next busload arrived. Greenville East Principal Kitty Zum-brink and staff member Shawna Wise conducted the tours, which wrapped up in the library for ques-tions.

“Do you put up with ‘be-havior’?” asked one of the students?

“No!” Miss Kitty said adamantly. “Your job is to read and write and learn math and science, and all the other life skills,” she said. “Our job is to teach them to you.”

What kinds of books are in the library… “Poké-mon?” asked one child. “Yes,” Miss Kitty an-swered, “but no cards. The

cards are not allowed. If you bring them,” she con-tinued, “who gets them?”

“You?”“Yes. Me. And do you

know what I do with them?” A child responded with throw them away? “Yes. I throw them away. I’m a teacher. I don’t need them.”

Zumbrink told the stu-dents about a lot of the fun rewards they get for work-ing hard and doing good work, one of which is the Character Carnival held each year. “That’s the best time of the year,” she said.

Before taking the sec-ond graders back out to their bus, she suggested the children to have their parents come to Open House the night before school starts so they can learn about the third grade program at East.

pursuing additional edu-cational goals. “We had 66 students come togeth-er this year… it’s one of the best groups we’ve ever had,” he added. “These successes are all kinds of magnitudes!” He noted 28 of the students have jobs… some of the gradu-ating students couldn’t attend because they were working.

Vaughn called each of them up, one by one, after providing details about their accomplishments and challenges. Darren Johns, a Gateway teacher,

handed them their cer-tificate. Marcia Schlecty – Vaughn referred to her as “a mother to all these kids” – gave each a huge hug. Vaughn followed with a hand-shake, hug or both.

The program started at 11 a.m. At 10:45 Romer’s employees were setting up additional chairs for parents, grandparents, family friends… “I was expecting 170,” Vaughn said. “I don’t know how many are here, but there are certainly more than that.”


[email protected] – “These

kids are doing things they didn’t think was possible,” said Jeff Vaughn, Gateway Program Coordinator for Darke County. He looked at the students sitting to-gether at the graduation celebration at Romer’s Ca-tering May 20. “It is great seeing these kids succeed. Some of them came to us with little hope… they found out they can go to school without being wor-ried or picked on.”

He noted 30 Gateway students will get their di-

plomas from their home schools this year. Nearly all Darke County schools are represented, but Vaughn mentioned three districts in particular: Ar-canum, Tri-Village and Mississinawa Valley… each had six students graduating from the pro-gram.

“These are small dis-tricts. Think about the loss if, rather than com-ing here, they might have ended up as dropouts.”

Vaughn said Gateway Program had a 90.5 per-cent attendance rate, the students had passed their OGT’s and several will be

Greenville gas station robbed at gunpoint; suspect sought

GREENVILLE – Just after 8:30 p.m. Wednes-day, the Greenville Police Department and the Darke County Sheriff’s Office re-sponded to an armed rob-bery report at the Sunoco gas station, located at 841 Martin St. in Greenville.

According to reports, authorities are looking for a white male wearing a white mask, white t-shirt and blue jeans. He bran-dished a black handgun as he demanded money from a female clerk during the crime according to reports.

The Darke County K9 Unit was called in to assist in tracking the suspect who took off on foot from the

scene. He made away with $550 cash according to in-vestigators.

This marks the second time the gas station has been robbed by a suspect with a weapon since Au-gust 2014.

Detectives are still look-ing for information to help identify a suspect and make an arrest. If you have any information, please con-tact the Greenville Police Department at 937-548-1103 or the Darke County Sheriff’s Office at 937-548-2020. You may also call the Darke County Crime Stoppers tipline at 937-547-1661. You may remain anonymous.

Gettysburg seeking Quidditch teams

GREENVILLE – The Vil-lage of Gettysburg is seeking Quidditch teams for a char-ity tournament at its Home-coming Festival on June 27. Quidditch is well-known by Harry Potter fans as an exciting and action-packed game played hundreds of feet in the air by broom-riding witches and wizards. It has been translated into a ground version for non-magical folk called Muggle Quidditch.

This coed sport has grown in popularity over the last several years to the point where there is a movement to make it a professional sport. There is already a multinational gov-erning board called the In-ternational Quidditch Asso-ciation (iqaquidditch.org).

A Quidditch team is com-prised of seven members: three chasers, two beaters, one keeper and one seeker. The chasers score points by throwing the quaffle (vol-leyball), past the opposing team’s keeper and through one of three hoops. The beaters block chasers with bludgers (dodge balls). Once

hit, the chaser drops the quaffle and must touch his/her team’s goal post before returning to play. While the main action is going on, the seekers attempt to catch the “golden snitch.” The snitch is a tennis ball in a sack at-tached to the back side of a fast runner. Catching the snitch counts as triple points and ends the game. Just as in the Harry Potter version, all players ride brooms.

Teams of any skill level (males and females aged 13-18) are encouraged to register for the Gettysburg Homecoming Festival Tour-nament. Registration is required by June 27 to be eligible to play. There is an entry fee of $10 per player and all profits will go to the charity of the winning team’s choice.

The tournament will take place on the Cardinal Center (Gettysburg School) ball field. More information is available by contacting the Gettysburg Village Of-fice, 447-2171. Registration forms are available at villa-geofgettysburg.net/thecar-dinalcenter.htm.

GREENVILLE – The Darke County Republican Women’s Club (DCRW) will meet June 8, 6:30 p.m., at Chestnut Village Center, Brethren Retire-ment Community. Guest speakers will be from the Darke County Board of

Elections – Becky Martin, director, and Terry Ha-worth, board member.

Sound money management helps

The shock of my life

STI Treatment Bill passes the House

As we c o n t i n u e t h r o u g h the budget process, I am mind-ful of the struggles of local gov-e rnme nt s b e c a u s e

they play such a vital role in the everyday lives of Ohioans. Without local governments, many of our roads would not be main-tained, our fire depart-ments would not arrive at the time of emergency and our police forces would not be able to keep our homes and possessions safe. In the legislature, I continue to favor reducing obstacles that make providing these services more difficult.

As a result of studying the budgets of our local governments, I know that county governments, for a variety of reasons, have more money than they did four years ago. Our efforts in the General Assembly to reduce the personal in-come tax have stimulated the economy and resulted in more sales tax revenue collection for local govern-ments. There is still more that needs to be examined to ensure we are achieving the best economic balance with the way we tax in Ohio and the need to continue reducing taxes on working Ohioans.

In state government, we have worked to give billions back to local gov-ernments and private businesses via workers’ compensation rebates. We’ve maintained access to grants for innovation in local government. We increased the ability of lo-cal governments to access “Issue 1” funding for local public works projects, and we even gave $10 million dollars directly to town-ship governments. We were able to do this be-cause of strong leadership in state government. We have a vision for the future and we are making sound money management deci-sions that will leave our state’s fiscal outlook in bet-ter shape than we found it.

Our local officials re-main concerned about their budgets. For exam-ple, our Engineer in Darke County extended the road maintenance schedule for new pavement on each mile of road from 10 years to 17 years. Our local En-gineer does a great job and he should continue to be commended for his efforts to maintain the largest to-tal miles of roads managed by a county in any county of this state and one of the most in the nation. Like many residents in Darke County, I am concerned about less road mainte-nance in the future.

I dug into this issue be-cause it is important to un-derstand the situation so we can correct it and en-sure we have quality roads that will keep our cars in working order and get us safely to and from work. In Darke County, our gas fund began 2014 with a little over $5 million and was able to grow to just

under $10 million. The engineer spent about $5.5 million of that fund, leav-ing a balance of just under $4.5 million in 2014. I ap-plaud his efforts to main-tain a reserve, but he is keeping that reserve at a level high enough to fund an entire year’s budget. To keep up his paving sched-ule he is spending a little more than he is taking in and dipping into that re-serve annually to fill in the funding gap. While in the short term that is manage-able, he has an obligation to the taxpayers to find a way to reduce his costs in the office and stop spend-ing down the reserve.

The Engineer shares my concerns, but we see the solution from different philosophical perspectives. As we have watched the gas prices dip, more Ohioans feel comfortable traveling, and we haven’t seen a drop in gas tax revenue. At the same time, the Engineer has benefitted from less expensive fuel to fill up the County vehicles. He has also benefitted from our efforts to reduce costs for local governments, such as a reduction in premium costs for workers’ compen-sation.

One of the most promi-nent ingredients in asphalt is derived from crude oil, which indicates that the price for asphalt should also be dropping. How-ever, I am concerned that he has not been able to get asphalt at a lower price. I examined our state asphalt pricing and we are getting it at a lower cost. Local prices should be following that trend.

I plan to continue ex-amining the asphalt issue to determine what needs to happen to ensure that local prices are following the fair and free market price trends for the prod-uct. Now is not the time to discuss any new taxes on Ohioans. Sound money management can correct most issues in the Engi-neer’s budget.

Our local government officials are a partner in returning sound money management to every level of government. Reduc-ing wasteful government spending and returning your tax dollars back to you is the best way to balance a budget and ensure that we are providing high quality and efficient government services. Challenges fac-ing local governments are an opportunity to redesign cash flow planning in a way that benefits the tax payers. In situations where the obstacles seem too steep, we need to examine those challenges and find a way to better manage the finite resources available to government. In most cases, such as the example of the Darke County Engi-neer’s office, we will find that a little give and take will probably end up with a positive fiscal forecast for the long term.

COLUMBUS—The Ohio House of Representatives recently passed House Bill 124, sponsored by State Representatives Terry Johnson (R-McDermott) and Steve Huffman (R-Tipp City). HB 124 authorizes a physician, advanced prac-tice registered nurse, or physician assistant to pre-scribe or personally furnish a drug for a sexual partner of a patient diagnosed with chlamydia, gonorrhea, or trichomoniasis, without examining the sexual part-ner.

Representative Johnson and Representative Huff-man are both licensed phy-sicians in addition to their capacities as state repre-sentatives, the first time in the history of the Ohio General Assembly that this has ever occurred. The bill also represents the first piece of legislation spon-sored by two physicians

The school year’s pretty much wrapped up… you can see it in everyone’s eyes. Teachers are tired (contrary to the opinion of some, teaching nine months out of the year is a tough job, folks) and the kids have visions of long summer days doing all the things they couldn’t do when they were in school.

Most kids will be bored to tears in about two weeks.

For me, it’s a bitter-sweet time. While the teachers work with these kids daily, I’m all over the district. I may not see some of my favorite students for weeks, even months at a time. Most of them I won’t see at all this summer.

It may be bitter-sweet for some of the teachers as well. One was near tears as she told me her kids are moving on to a new grade and a new building. She was beginning to realize

how much she was going to miss them.

All our kids are special. Nobody knows it better than teachers.

I got to wrap up my year with one of my favorite classes at Woodland. I’m lucky… I’ll get to see them next year; maybe even for a couple more years.

I’m tutoring at the li-brary again this summer. Maybe I’ll get to work with a few of my kids; maybe I’ll see some at one of the fes-tivals or holidays over the summer. Then there’s the Great Darke County Fair!

I subbed for a fifth grade class last week. They had a field day at South Park. I walked my class there with the teachers and their classes. I stood watching for a short while, then – you guessed it – I sat down to rest.

I know. I’m old.While most kids gave

the playground equip-ment a good workout, two youngsters sat down with me and we talked…

Or should I say they talked.

They talked about their injuries. One young lady has had a support boot on her foot for weeks (maybe even months… I lose track of time). I caught her run-ning in it once; now she assures me she no longer does that. She said she’d be in a cast over the summer… on Thursday the boot was gone! No cast, either. She was a happy camper!

Then there’s the splint on her friend’s fingers. “Got that from Joe Z,” she said. “Kick ball. He kicks them hard! From now on I’m going to be sure I’m on the same team with him.”

“So somebody else can get hurt instead of you?” She grinned impishly and nodded her head. “Wouldn’t it be better for everyone to learn to move further away when he’s kicking?”

She thought about that, then nodded again. “Yeah,” she said. “I guess so.”

One special memory I’m going to carry into summer took place at East. Remem-ber Callie Z? Of course you do. She’s the girl who

hasn’t liked me since kin-dergarten. But a friend of hers, Nora Z, does...

A couple days after Nora found out Callie didn’t like me, I got a shock. Callie and Nora both waved when they saw me. I thought I was seeing things. The fol-lowing week I saw Callie in the hallway. She smiled and waved. I gave her a tentative smile and wave… trying to figure out if I was dreaming, senile or what…

Nora’s mom told me her daughter had been work-ing on Callie. Peer pres-sure she called it. So this was really happening?

Then last week I was in the lunchroom and got the shock of my life. I hope my mouth wasn’t open in as-tonishment (and I remem-bered to smile) when Cal-lie came up to me and gave me a big hug. I looked at her… she was grinning.

“That’s sweet, Callie,” I said. “Thank you. That makes me feel good.”

“I know,” she said, mat-ter-of-factly. Then went out to play.

serving in the Ohio General Assembly.

“House Bill 124 is a his-toric piece of legislation for Ohio’s public health,” said Huffman. “We are moving forward to be one of the fi-nal states to implement Ex-pedited Partner Therapy. I am so thankful to have worked with my colleague, Representative Terry John-son, on this bill, and thank my colleagues in the House for their support.”

“This bill is indeed his-toric,” said Johnson. “It is the first time in the Ohio General Assembly that two physicians have joint spon-sored a bill. House Bill 124 will have a positive impact on Ohio’s public health and

I am honored to be associ-ated with such a fine bipar-tisan team as we have sup-porting this legislation.”

The bill specifies that the medical professional listed above may prescribe or per-sonally furnish a drug for not more than two sexual partners of the patient, and authorizes a pharmacist to dispense a drug pursuant to a prescription issued in accordance with the bill. It also grants immunity from civil liability, criminal prosecution or professional discipline to the medical professionals if they have acted in good faith and in accordance with the bill.

HB 124 focuses on the practice of Expedited Part-

ner Therapy (EPT) – the clinical practice of provid-ing prescription antibiotics to partners of a patient who was been examined and di-agnosed with an STI. Ohio is one of only four states to prohibit EPT. According to the Ohio Department of Health, for every 100,000 people in Ohio, 460 indi-viduals have Chlamydia and 144 individuals have Gonorrhea. The legislation is designed to reduce the number of STI cases and lead to a healthier popula-tion in Ohio.

House Bill 124 now moves on to the Ohio Sen-ate for further consider-ation.

[email protected] – “I love

nature and I love history,” said Marti Goetz, Execu-tive Director of Bear’s Mill. “This is a dream job for me.” Goetz was hired Feb. 1 and is responsible to the Friends of Bear’s Mill, the 501c3 not-for-profit orga-nization that purchased the Mill in 2013. She intro-duced herself to Kiwanis of Greenville May 27 during the group’s regular weekly meeting.

“The last private owners of the Mill were Julie and Terry Clark,” Goetz told the group. “They wanted something to do… boy, did they ever have something to do.” The Mill was built in 1848 and purchased a year later by Gabriel Baer. Over the next century plus there were many owners, until the Clarks bought it in 1978. Bear’s Mill is one of the few working mills in Ohio, Goetz noted. It’s wa-ter powered; a stone grind-ing flour mill.

The Clarks turned the operation of the mill over to the Friends in 1999, which then purchased it 14 years later with a grant from the Clean Ohio Fund. Operation of the Mill is fi-nanced primarily through individual donations.

“We are only tenants of the property… our mission

New Bear’s Mill director talks about her ‘dream job’

is to preserve, celebrate and share,” Goetz said. “Using tours, education and en-tertainment we are sharing Bear’s Mill with the pub-lic.” She added the natural beauty of the grounds is great for photo opportuni-ties: weddings, graduations and other events. “If you see the door open, walk in. We will be happy to make the mill available for a self-guided tour.”

Goetz told the Kiwanians the Clarks are still active in the Mill; Terry as the mill master, Julie as the artist. “Terry does his dog and pony show (tours)… a kids version and an adult ver-sion. Julie has great taste; she sets the bar high for culinary offerings and art.” Half of the first floor is de-voted to art, and has been named The Clark Gallery.

“They (displays) have to be of a certain caliber,” Goetz said. “We have a reputation now… but the artists also have to be local.” Typically about 150 mile radius, she added.

Goetz noted she has a great group of volunteers and a “wonderful” board, adding however a board member had just resigned. It is a position needing to be filled. The Mill’s stone-ground meal and flour, plus other natural products, are available in the Mill Store.

In addition to a number of annual events, new offer-ings for 2015 include a tim-ber framing workshop and kayak adventure. On the Mill’s wish list is building a hydro-electric plant, a vid-eo about the mill, purchase of a pizza oven and devel-oping a “Kids Corner.”

Late game rally comes up short for Indians in sectional opener

BY CLINTON RANDALLSTAFF WRITER

[email protected], Ind.

– From being as much as six runs down midway through the game, the Union City Indians ral-lied back to make it a one run game in the top of the seventh inning of Wednes-day’s sectional game against Randolph South-ern at McBride Stadium in Richmond, Ind.

“Errors and walks have been our nemesis all year,” said UC Coach Bill Brad-bury. “We got ourselves in a hole early which made it tough to come back from.”

The game got away from starting freshman pitcher Gabe Loesch and senior reliever Taylor Moore as the Indians gave up eight total runs in the second and third innings. Union City found them-selves looking at a steep

hill to climb as South-ern led the game 8-2 going into the fourth inning.

The Indians’ bats start-ed to come to life as it was the Rebels finding them-selves causing errors in the field. With UC finding ways to get runners across the plate, accompanied by senior relief pitcher Kyle Cross shutting the Rebels offense down, the game was 8-7 headed into the seventh inning.

With two outs, junior pinch-runner Jaydan Bak-er took a chance to tie the game as he made the move from third base. Unfortu-nately, Randolph South-ern was able to make the play at the plate putting an end Union City’s come-back rally and season.

The Indians finished the season with an (8-13) overall record and (1-6) in the Tri-Eastern Confer-ence.

DAYTON – The Ver-sailles girls 4x800M relay team will be joining the boys’ team at the Ohio High School Athletic Asso-ciation’s (OHSAA) Varsity Track & Field Tournament.

ARCANUM – The Arca-num-Butler Local School Board appointed Matt Grote as the new Head Girls Basketball Coach at the regular Board meeting held on May 14.

Grote has been the boys JV basketball coach for Ar-canum High School since 2011. His previous basket-ball coaching experience includes being the girls JV assistant coach (2008-2010), freshman girls head coach (2010-2011) and seventh grade boys’ bas-ketball coach (2007-2008) all at Northmont City Schools. Additionally, he was the girls JV assistant soccer coach at Northmont for two years and was head coach of the Dayton Vipers U14 girls’ basketball team in 2009.

Coach Grote shared his excitement about the op-portunity. “I would like to thank the Board of Educa-tion and the Administra-tion at the Arcanum-Butler Local Schools for the op-portunity to be the Varsity Girls Basketball Coach at Arcanum High School. I am excited for the challenge of running a varsity program that the school and com-munity proudly supports.

Over the past eight years I have been preparing for this opportunity; learning all I could from some very good coaches along the way.”

Grote is a 2006 gradu-ate of The Ohio State Uni-versity with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Tech-nology Education. He re-ceived his Master’s Degree in Technology Education from Ohio State in 2007. He has been teaching com-puter classes in the district since being hired in 2013 and has worked to incor-porate STEM-related con-tent into his classes.

Grote and wife Crystal reside just outside of Arca-num with their son, Owen.

Greenville softball to play for Regional championship

MASON – The Green-ville Lady Wave softball team joined the OHSAA Division II Elite Eight with a 7-2 win over the Hamil-ton Ross Lady Rams.

“Great win,” said Green-ville Coach Jerrod New-land. “Coming in against a good team like Ross, it was a great first inning. We struck early … hung on … this is just good softball.”

The Lady Wave jumped out to a 6-0 lead before the Lady Rams’ first bat-ter of the game came to the plate.

Ally Russell reached first by way of a hit batsman, a single off the bat of Karsyn Shaffer had Cassie Crom-

well moving the runners up with a ground out to second for a Jazzlyn Petry 2-RBI single to right.

Sydney Grote reached first on an error with Petry and Grote moving up on a pass ball. Both runners would score with the aid of a Rams error off the bat of Allison Minnich giving the Wave a 4-0 lead.

A Makayla Hanes single put runners on first and second setting up an Ash-ton Kester RBI single.

Greenville scored their sixth run of the inning with a Rams error on a throw to second.

With Russell on the mound the Lady Wave would set Ross down in or-der in innings one, two and three while picking up four strikeouts.

Ross would send nine batters to the plate in the bottom of the fourth but would only plate two runs leaving bases loaded while

cutting the Wave’s lead to 6-2.

“Just relax and have fun,” Newland told his team. “Go back to fun-

damentals. She (Russell) went back to fundamentals and got the job done. Got a few plays around her.”

Greenville would get a run back in the top of the fifth using a Minnich infield single, a one-out Kester sacrifice bunt and a Russell RBI double to center mak-ing the score 7-2.

The Rams would send a runner home from third on a two-out pass ball in the bottom of the fifth with Petry throwing to Russell. The Lady Wave pitcher held her ground against a sliding Rams runner for the third out.

When the dust had set-tle, Russell remained down, but moments later the Wave senior was up head-ing to the dugout receiving high-fives from teammates,

coaches and cheering fans.“That was a bang-

banger,” said Newland. “She’s a little sore and ten-der but it is what it is. This time of year after 31 games, if you’re not sore and ten-der you’re not playing the right way.”

The bottom of the sixth had the Rams going down in order with a Russell strikeout, a fly ball to Hill in right and a groundout to Shaffer at second.

The Greenville girls took care of business in the bot-tom of the seventh with a popup to Grote at first, a lineout to Kester at short, a walk and Russell throwing her seventh strikeout of the night taking the game 7-2.

“Sixth regional final in the last nine years,” New-land said after the win.

MV senior Dirmeyer signs with Wilmington College basketballBY GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS [email protected] CITY – Missis-

sinawa Valley senior Mack-enzie Dirmeyer signed her letter of intent Wednesday to play college basketball for Wilmington College.

“It’s exciting for Mack-enzie and her family,” said M-V Athletic Director Bruce Davison. “She has worked hard over the past four years and even before that into junior high. She is one of the students that is really committed, dedicated and hard work pays off.”

“Mackenzie did a real good job this year,” said Blackhawks head girls bas-ketball coach Roger Col-lins. “I think she will play. It’s not just where she go-ing to go to college … she is actually going to go to play ball.”

“I ran the offense around her,” continued Collins. “We played teams that would double team and triple team her and we still did certain things that we had to do.”

Dirmeyer, the daugh-ter of David and Melissa Dirmeyer looks forward to the opportunity to con-tinue playing basketball at the college level.

“It is something that I have always wanted to do,” Dirmeyer said. “The past few years I actually didn’t think I was going to play college ball, and it came to this season and I decided to do it.”

“I give most of the cred-it to my parents and my coaches, especially this year’s coaches Roger (Col-lins) and Keith (Fields). They were the ones that pretty much helped me get

in contact with Wilming-ton and my parents have always been my biggest supporters.”

“The sophomore class this year; Keslie Hunt, Kylie Willis, Makayla Stump and

Madison Stachler … they were always the ones that made me better and that made them better,” added Dirmeyer. “They are going to be a tough class going in.”

Dirmeyer will study Agricultural Education while at Wilmington and is pleased with her choice of colleges.

“They had a good year,” said Dirmeyer. “Hopefully in the four years that I am there we can make the team better.”

Dirmeyer was named 2014-15 Cross County Conference (CCC) Basket-ball First Team during her senior year of high school and was a standout player on the high school volley-ball and softball teams.

While unsure of the position she will play, Dirmeyer feels confident she can add to the Quaker basketball program during her four years there.

“When I first talked to Coach Scheve (Wilmington Coach Jerry Scheve), he said maybe a wing player,

maybe a two or three but we’ll see,” said Dirmeyer. “Probably be an all-around player.”

“She can really jump well,” said Collins. “He (Coach Scheve) was saying that she will possibly play three or four and I told him she can play one or two be-cause she can handle the ball and can run the floor. That is what he is looking for … someone that can get the rebound and take the ball off and run the floor.”

“She is one of the best jumpers I have coached and I have coached a lot of good kids in basketball,” Collins said. “She is a great kid and I enjoyed coaching her.”

Wilmington College plays in the NCAA Divi-sion III Ohio Athletic Con-ference and is coming of a 13-14 season.

Greenville grads win college baseball tournament at WSUBY GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS [email protected] CELINA – Five former

Green Wave varsity base-ball players helped pave the way for the Wright State University-Lake Campus baseball team to defeat OU-Lancaster and win the Ohio Region-al Campus Conference (ORCC) 2015 Baseball Tournament Champion-ship.

“The program has had a handful of Greenville kids,” said Greenville Var-sity Baseball Coach Eric Blumenstock. “It started with Jon Edwards, Jacob Burk and Tyler Zimmer-man. They all went there straight out of high school a few years ago.”

“Jacob Burk has since transferred to Wright State playing D-I ball and is doing a heck of a job over there. A great pro-gram. I would encourage any of my kids to take a look at going there and playing ball.”

WSU Lake Campus’s

baseball program is com-ing off another success-ful having won its second ORCC tournament in three years while finishing the 2015 season with a 26-11 winning record.

Greenville leads the way with five players on the championship team followed by Celina and Vandalia-Butler with three players each while Versailles is represented with one player.

“It’s a GWOC heavy team,” said Blumenstock. “Vandalia and Greenville both have solid programs and excellent kids. The thing about that group … they were all true base-ball players. They had the heart, they wanted it and they all have done a great job helping Wright State succeed over there.”

Players on the 2015 team come from as far away as Miami, Florida Springs High School.

Greenville is represent-ed by two juniors on the team, Jon Edwards and

Storm Wolter.Edwards is a 6’0” pitch-

er/outfielder while Storm Wolter checks in at 5’11” weighing 190 pounds fill-ing the role as the team’s starting catcher.

Three players from the Green Wave Class of 2014 include Colton Nealeigh, Austin Baumgardner and Bailey Haworth.

“That was a great group of kids,” stated Blumen-stock.

Nealeigh, a 6’0” infield-er/outfielder is known for his hitting having led the state with a .620 batting average his junior year at Greenville High School including a string of 13 straight hits.

“Nealeigh is special … I’ve been saying that for years,” said Blumenstock. “I see him really going far in his baseball career. In the next couple of years somebody is going to see him out there playing and I think we have some spe-cial things coming out of him.”

Baumgardner at 6’0” and 195 lb. a right hand-ed pitcher is known for his control and deceiving changeup on the mound.

“He’s (Baumgardner) a great arm … great pitch-er,” said Blumenstock. “The kid has come a long way. He had knee surgery young in high school and missed a full season of baseball.”

Rounding out the Greenville players is relief pitcher Bailey Haworth who not only pitched for the Wave but was the team’s starting catcher.

“Bailey has a little arm issue going now but I think he will be alright,” Blumenstock said. “That’s another great kid that went through arm sur-gery.”

Versailles’ Ethan Bruns, a 6’2” right handed junior

infielder/pitcher com-pletes the Darke County portion of the roster.

Rob Howell enters his third year as Head Coach of the Wright State-Lake Campus men’s baseball

team. Upon graduat-ing from Coldwater High School, he played 4 years for the University of Day-ton Flyers Baseball Team and went on to play semi-professional baseball.

The Longest Day To Be Celebrated June 17th

A Stroll Down Memory Lane

Are You Struggling to Care for A Loved One with Dementia?

One of our Chestnut Vil-lage trips this month was to the American Sign Mu-seum in Cincinnati, the ul-timate stroll down Memo-ry Lane. This gem of a mu-seum, tucked away in an enormous old warehouse in an industrial area of Cincinnati, just celebrated its 10th Anniversary and is the only Sign Museum in the United States.

Our tour guide was excellent. We learned the history of signs, as he discussed their oldest sign from the late 1800’s through their newest sign from 1972 and how the ability to read and mod-ern technology changed the sign business. Af-

ter touring the American Sign Museum, we toured Neonworks of Cincinnati to see how neon signs are made. Located inside the American Sign Museum but privately owned, this shop does unique, custom signs and can repair bro-ken neon signs.

Following the muse-um tour, we had lunch at Montgomery Inn Boat-house on the Ohio River before returning to Green-ville. If our trips are not filled by our residents, we are always happy to have people from the greater community join us on our road tours. To get on our list, please call 547-7628.

Brethren Retirement Community now offers the award-winning BBET pro-gram to help improve the lives of those living with dementia, as well as to re-duce the stress their disease places on caregivers and loved ones.

Based on science of Er-gonomics and Neurosci-ence to improve the quality of life for every resident, it was developed by Dr Govind Bharwani, a nation-ally recognized expert in Alzheimer’s and dementia care. The BBET program (Behavior Based Ergonom-ic Therapy) is an innova-tive approach to engaging residents and managing be-

haviors. It was the result of collaboration with Wright State University and the Al-zheimer’s Association and has received six national awards for its significant improvements in reducing behaviors, medications and falls.

The BBET program of-fers multiple therapies that help to reduce mental stress, prevent behaviors from escalating and pro-vide mental exercises. Each resident has a customized plan based on their inter-ests, information their fam-ily provides, and their cog-nitive level. It is available to them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our memory

care staff receives special-ized training to understand resident behaviors, com-municate with compassion, and as well as how to en-gage each resident so they receive the most benefit and enjoyment from the therapy.

We have many success stories from families and staff. Many families report their visits with their loved ones are more enjoyable, with more meaningful in-teraction and less behav-iors. After the therapy, resi-dents are calm for hours and often enjoy more rest-ful sleep. The therapy works – it improves the quality of life for both the resident

and their caregivers. No other facility in the

area offers the BBET pro-gram. We not only offer it, we offer it in our Adult Day Center, Memory Care and our Healthcare Neighbor-hoods to improve the lives of those whom God has en-trusted to our care at each stage of their dementia journey.

Call 547-8000 to sched-ule a tour and see how life can be better for your loved one and their caregivers.

Brethren Retirement Community will once again be participating in an event sponsored by the Alzheim-er’s Association called The Longest Day which takes place on the summer sol-stice-the annual day with the most daylight hours. On The Longest Day, teams around the world come to-gether to honor the strength, passion, and endurance of those facing Alzheimer’s with a day of activity. Breth-ren Retirement Community

will celebrate on June 17th from sunrise, 6:08am to sunset, 9:08pm and will raise funds and awareness to advance the efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association. The day will be filled with numerous activities that all are invited to attend, but will feature walkers around our beautiful pond for the 16 hour, day-long event. Residents, their families, staff, and the greater com-munity are invited to join in the walking. We are also in

need of volunteers to help push wheelchairs around the pond so all who want to participate can join in on the fun. Walkers can walk all or part of the day and will be able to see the lu-minaries surrounding the pond that will be purchased in honor of or in memory of a loved one. The luminaries will be lit at sunset during a special ceremony with guest speaker, Eric VanVlymen, Executive Director of the Alzheimer’s Association,

with all the names being read at that time.

In 2014, a total of 194 registered walkers walked 1442 laps around the pond for a total of 240 miles! In addition, 84 luminaries were lit. Overall the event raised over $2100 for the Alzheimer’s Association. Please join us for this very special event. If you are interested in purchasing a luminary or participating in the event, you may call 547-7655 for more information.

Independent Living Residents Learn How To Use An iPad

On May 19th, several residents from Chestnut Village and Mill Ridge Vil-lage, our independent liv-ing campus in Union, Ohio took a trip to the Apple Store at the Greene for some hands-on instruction on how to use an iPad. De-spite knowing how to use a computer, our residents had no experience with an iPad. The instructors at the Apple Store not only made the learning process easy, they made it fun. The Ap-ple Store provides iPads for class participants or they are welcome to bring their own so it is set up correctly

for them to use at home.Three of the issues that

older adults deal with are

boredom, helplessness, and loneliness. Being connect-ed online can help with all

of these. They can look up information for themselves and others, see their loved ones in real time on by us-ing the Face Time (video phone), app and find infor-mation on anything they’re interested in by “surfing” on the web.

Not only did we have a great time, they gave us a certificate at the end of the class! Many thanks to the Apple Store for our hands-on learning experience. Following our class we had lunch at The Cheesecake Factory – a sweet ending for fun, educational, day!

A day to honor those who gave their lives

GHS students receive $1.4 million in scholarships

GREENVILLE – “We have the Vietnam Memo-rial at Bears Mill,” said Terry Clark, Vietnam veter-an. “Every day I see the 21 men from here who never came home. It’s sobering.” A pause, then… “Douglas Dickey,” he said, quietly.

He recalled his service and that of the soldiers who didn’t come home. “We didn’t get a parade, but that’s okay.” He added, however he appreciates the support here at home. “You know we have 6,000 veterans in Darke County?” he said. “Darke County supports its veterans,” he said. He wondered if that happens in other commu-nities.

“I just feel sorry for the guys over in Afghanistan. Two, three tours. They come home, but many come home mentally messed up.”

Clark was driving his 1931 fire truck, ready to be decked out in his fireman’s weather gear. He talked about the truck… top speed 40 miles per hour. “If we get a call let’s hope it’s a slow burning fire,” he quipped.

The VFW Ladies Aux-iliary and Daughters of the American Revolution, GreeneVille Chapter, were grateful for his presence – regardless of speed – as they needed a ride to the cemetery. They got it.

The parade began at 1 p.m. May 25. It went through downtown Green-ville, around the circle and stopped at the Greenville Creek Bridge. The ritual bouquet was tossed into

GREENVILLE – Nearly a half million dollars in 1-year scholarships were awarded to college-bound Greenville High School graduating seniors May 21. More than 40 students collected scholarships to-taling $475,869. Accumu-lated scholarships over a four-year period totaled $1,376,901.

Scholarships were presented by 33 organi-zations and local busi-nesses. Among them were BASF, The Elks, Mote & Associates, Rotary, Shine on Corynna, Ohio PTA, Miami University Book, Greenville BPW, School of Advertising Art, IU East, Gleaner Life Insurance, Lambda Chi Omega Soror-ity, Kiwanis of Greenville, The Andersons, Athletic Boosters, Youth Football and Cheer, Student Coun-cil, NHS, Greenville Edu-cation Assn., French and Spanish Clubs, Supply Chain Management and OHSAA.

Also presenting were representatives for the Larry Wagner Memorial, Dwight L. Brown, Lori Wil-liams Memorial, Robert & Mary Beasecker Memorial, Ray Kroc, Loman Shiver-decker and Adam Marchal Memorial scholarships.

the creek, followed by a 21-gun salute and Taps.

As is done each year, a member of Greenville NJROTC read the Get-tysburg Address at the Greenville-Union Cem-etery Memorial Day Obser-vance. This year it was Gen Malin’s turn. “I’m excited,” she said. “It’s very exciting to have an opportunity like this… I’m honored to speak on behalf of my family.”

Gen said many members of her family have served, but this was for someone special, a family friend. “This is in honor of Ben Bowman,” she said.

Capt. Keith Denman, USN Retired, and NJROTC instructor at Greenville High School, was the fea-tured speaker. He thanked those who gave their all… not only on this day, but every day. He talked about President Teddy Roosevelt’s message, ‘walk

Fifteen students re-ceived education scholar-ships from the colleges and universities they will be attending.

The Darke County Foun-dation presented scholar-ships to 18 students, for a total of $23,000 at Green-ville High School. Total scholarships for Darke County came to $120,000 for 2015. Since its concep-tion, the foundation has awarded $1.4 million in scholarships.

In awarding National Honor Society scholar-ships to Krutant Mehta and Erika Jeffers, pre-senter Amber Warner noted the requirements for recipients: scholarship, leadership, character and service.

softly but carry a big stick.’ “Our military has always walked softly, until asked by our country to carry a big stick,” he said.

“Whether you know this as Memorial Day or Deco-ration Day, it is a day to honor all those who have given their lives to protect this great land.”

The American Legion Honor Guard again fired the 21-gun salute, followed by Taps from a member of the Greenville High School Band of Pride. The band performed a number of pa-triotic songs, including the National Anthem; wreathes were laid at the base of the Veteran memorial.

GREENVILLE – Six students – each with a connection with Corynna – were awarded the in-augural scholarship from ‘Shine on Corynna’ May 21 at Greenville High School Senior Awards Night. “They all went through something difficult during their high school years… especially her class,” said Kristi Strawser.

The Strawser’s daugh-ter, Corynna, passed away in December 2013, due to Mitochondrial Disease. Had she lived, she would have graduated with the Class of 2015. The ‘Shine on Corynna’ program was established in her name and Kristi and Sean Straw-ser felt it fitting the inau-gural scholarships would be awarded to her class-mates. “These kids… we watched them grow up with her,” Kristi added. “They are part of her class.

They are part of her.”Receiving the award

were Brooke Netzley, Ali-son Helfrich, Erika Jeffers, Sarah Green, Ashley Mike-sell and Macayla Mendo-za.

The ‘Shine on Corynna’ program was established to raise awareness of a dis-ease few know about and for which there is no cure. To date the program has raised $10,000. “We want-ed some of it to stay here in Darke County,” said Kristi. “Education was important to Corynna,” she added. “What better way than through scholarships.” The Strawsers hope to be able to do this every year.

She said they had to write an essay on how they have impacted or will im-pact the lives of others. Kristi noted what Corynna had accomplished in her 16 years of life. “It’s inspi-rational,” she said. “We’re healthy; she was sick and did all these things. She’s magic.”

VERSAILLES - The Versailles Area Museum will be open Poultry Days Weekend for your touring pleasure. Hours are Fri-day, 4-8 p.m.; Saturday, 1-8 p.m., and Sunday, 1-6

The students competed

in several events, including kickball, races and enjoyed Marcos Pizza served by the school PTA members.

Monday marks the final day of the school year for all Greenville City Schools.

GREENVILLE – The Annie Oakley Festival is two months away, and the committee members are making preparation for the Annie Oakley Pa-rade, scheduled for July 25, reaching downtown Greenville at 10 a.m. They

Therefore, MVRPC is spearheading the “Unsewered Communities Project” to examine and report on the op-tions for these communities to improve wastewater systems and pro-tect the environment. The General Plan report will identify actionable solutions and lay the groundwork for future projects.A public meeting will provide the residents and property owners in Jackson Township an opportunity to review the General Plan report.

Arcanum Wayne Trail Historical So-ciety’s Reference Library has updated its guidelines for research and dona-tions. For research it is advisable to call for an appointment at 692-6462. Their open hours are the first Saturday of the month from 9 a.m.-noon. During the summer, they are open most Saturday mornings unless a Coffee and Con-versation is sched-uled. Please bring a CD or flash drive if you wish to have a copy of a digital photo or document when researching. Their new e-mail address is [email protected].

Their digital files were recently orga-nized and are avail-able for viewing. They have approxi-mately 4,000 photos of southern Darke County in their col-lection available through the com-puter and various organized binders.

They are current-ly seeking Ithaca or Beech Grove arti-facts, photos, and memorabilia. This corresponds with their historic self-guided driving tour the society is spon-soring. A copy of the brochure can be downloaded from the event page at www.arcanumhis-toricalsociety.org.

For donating ac-quisitions to the li-brary and research, refer to their guide-lines available at www.arcanumhis-toricalsociety.org, under the “Re-search” tab. They are still accepting family histories in paper form or digi-tal. To avoid dupli-cates, please search the “Reference Ma-terials List.” For donation of photos, keep size to 8x10 to fit into binders. Due to space, storage, and display issues call for larger items at 692-6462 or to donate. Photos and paper items do not weather well; do not leave items on the outside porch or in the door. If you are unable to drop off during open hours, call for a time or ap-pointment. Other items may be mailed to Arcanum Wayne

Trail Historical So-ciety Attention Ge-nealogy, PO Box 4, Arcanum, Ohio 45304. Documents to include in their digital files may be emailed to [email protected]. They accept originals and quality copies of photos and materi-

als relating to south-ern Darke County area including Pits-burg, Arcanum, New Madison, Gor-don, Ithaca, Castine as well as school, church, village ref-erence materials and family histories. They are currently in need of census re-cords, births, mar-

riages, and cemetery records. For all oth-er donations that are not reference library materials (photos, books, and family histories) call Caro-lyn Furlong or Caro-lyn Troutwine.

Greenville Twp. cemeteries clean upGREENVILLE – Clean-

up will begin immediately for all Greenville Town-ship cemeteries. Families

and loved ones are asked to remove all decorations that were placed for Me-morial Day that they wish

to save by June 15, in all cemeteries maintained by Greenville Township.

Cemetery personnel will begin removing old ar-rangements that are not in vases attached to the mark-ers or monuments, statues and other items. All ceme-tery arrangements must be placed in the marker vase if such vase is located on the monument, otherwise a saddle arrangement can be used on upright monu-ments. Also to be removed will be all hanging devices such as shepherd hooks, floral arrangements, etc. When placing new ar-rangements on gravesites all arrangements must be in the marker vase (Green-ville Township Memorial Gardens Cemetery) or a monument saddle ar-rangement placed on top of the monument in all other Greenville Town-ship cemeteries. All arti-ficial arrangements must be either in a vase or on a monument saddle.

Now that Memorial Day has passed, all arrange-ments not in the vases at-tached to the base monu-ment must be removed by June 15 or arrangements will be removed by cem-etery personnel.

Greenville Township maintains the following cemeteries. Memorial Gardens and Newcomer on SR 118, East Zion locat-ed on US Route 36, Eman-uel on the New Madison Coletown Road, Martin lo-cated on Culbertson Road, Crickbaum at Motorcycle Drive, and Bethel located on Cox Road.

Cemetery rules prohibit glass containers, wire, toys, figurines and all other such items that interfere with mowing and/or trimming. All cemetery arrangements must be located in the vase on the monument.
