Wayne HealthCare’s focus is doing everything Exceedingly Well

Ackley’s artwork headed to museum

GREENVILLE – The hospital in Greenville has been called many things over the years – some good and some bad. Those negative connotations may have been acceptable in years past, but not any-more. Wayne HealthCare has come a long way in a few short years to become a world-class, patient-cen-

GREENVILLE – Paul Ackley is primarily known for taking jabs at elected of-ficials or spotlighting soci-ety’s ills on The Early Bird’s opinion page through his political cartoons. He has earned numerous awards for his work and many of his cartoons have been framed and hang promi-nently in offices and homes across the country. While

To help achieve their goals, Wayne HealthCare has kicked off its Exceed-ing Well campaign. They want to do everything they do better than they

Wayne HealthCare is customiz-ing treatments and pro-cedures on an individual medical needs basis as well as addressing deeper needs. They are dedicated to serving the community when and where there is a

negatives are sometimes hard to overcome, Wayne HealthCare recently held Branding Day. This special event is just the beginning in letting the community know how far the hospital has come and where it is going.

Terri Flood, marketing director for Wayne Health-Care, believes it all begins by growing a culture of satisfied, patient-centered

cartoons and caricatures are a big part of the art-work he creates, Paul con-tinues to be a serious artist that will soon have a piece of artwork featured in a Chicago museum.

Earlier this year, Paul was contacted by Dr. Rob-ert Cornwall, of Milwaukee, Wisc., to create an 8’x12’ mural for the Maritime Museum in Chicago. While he has done other murals in the past, including the artwork located adjacent to the Annie Oakley Park on South Broadway in Green-ville, this one is extra spe-cial. Paul has been asked to incorporate his father’s ar-tistic style in with his as he depicts a Native American scene featuring the Voy-ager Canoe.

This opportunity came about because of Dr. Corn-wall’s friendship with Paul’s father, former Greenville resident Richard Ackley, Sr. The elder Ackley suggested his son would be the per-fect candidate to help Dr. Cornwall, a Native Ameri-

Former firefighter battling Brain CancerGREENVILLE – Tim

Ridenour, retired Green-ville Fire Department fire-fighter, fire educator and veteran, was diagnosed with Stage IV Primary Brain Cancer – a GBM – glioblastoma multiforme on Oct. 2, 2013 and has had his ups and downs battle with the disease. Thus far in his fight, one of the big-gest obstacles has been the type of tumor he is dealing with.

Although he has under-gone numerous surgeries, doctors cannot remove the entire tumor because it is not solid. They are attack-ing it with radiation and chemotherapy. However, MaryAnn Ridenour, Tim’s wife, said, “We also attack it with prayer, meditation, prayer, exercise, prayer, healthy eating, posi-tive thoughts, and more prayer.”

On October 13, 2014, Tim had a second surgery at OSU. Although the MRI looked like the tumor was

“The kids are grown, this is supposed to be our time, and we have a new type of alarm in the house. I thought we were done with baby monitors,” laughed MaryAnn. This process is helping to keep the tumor from growing until they find a way to completely eradicate it.

She continued, “That’s where you come in. We are asking everyone to pray for Tim. His last MRI showed that one part of the tumor was stable and the other part had actually shrunk. May is national Brain Cancer Awareness Month. Grey is the color ribbon for Brain Cancer. No one can live without a brain. There is no donor surgery; no brainectomy. Brain can-cer is one of the most un-derfunded types of cancer. That’s so ironic; the organ that controls everything gets the least amount of funding and publicity. So I challenge you to Go Grey in May. For those you love,

growing again, the neuro-surgeon went in and found it was scar tissue and fluid buildup. He cleaned up the mess and things looked much better. This surgery led to a buildup of cerebro-spinal fluid between the scalp and the skull flap. In order to start Novo TTF (Tumor Targeting Field) therapy, he underwent a third surgery to drain the excess fluid.

Tim is now on what is called dose intensive chemo – one week on and one week off along with the Novo TTF.

MaryAnn has been and continues to be Tim’s big-gest supporter and care-taker. She is responsible for making sure the elec-tromagnetic arrays of the Novo TTF continually send the pulses through his brain to kill the cancer cells. She changes the arrays every 3-5 days according to the pattern prescribed by the doctor. If anything comes loose an alarm will sound.

for those lost, for those still fighting.”

Tim served in the Navy as a firefighter/hull techni-cian and was a member of the Multinational Peace-keeping Force in 1983 that served in Beirut, Lebanon when the Sailor/Marine barracks was hit by a sui-cide bomber killing 241 servicemen.

He joined the Greenville Fire Department in 1988 and found a love for fire education and prevention. He was a regular blood do-nor and represented and was the main recruiter for the Greenville Fire Depart-ment in the Community Blood Center’s Battle of the Badges.

Tim was also in charge of coloring contests, fire prevention poster con-tests, helped host the Fire Department Open House, painted the Dick and Jane statue, collected money and bought presents for foster children and played Santa for them. He also

Comprehensive treat-ment, quality and person-alized care, community based dedication and ac-cess plus convenience are areas Wayne HealthCare is striving to do Exceedingly Well. They are delivering a

need. To kick off the new

branding of Wayne HealthCare, the hospital has refined its logo. They have also launched a new and improved website that is simple to use, www.waynehealthcare.org. The website easily crosses platforms from computer to tablet to smartphone. You can also connect with Wayne HealthCare on Fa-cebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube.

can history buff, complete the task for the museum.

Richard was a well known artist in the area be-fore he moved to northern Wisconsin to live on the res-ervation for the Sokadgon Chippewa Community. Ac-cording to Paul, his father used a lot of bright colors in his artwork and he is go-ing to do the same on this mural.

Since the mural will be in the Maritime Museum, the focal point will be the Voyageur Canoe. These

to bring in and transport wild rice.

“This is an honor on many levels,” said Paul. “I get to use my dad’s ideas and artwork with mine. This represents my heri-tage and tribe.” Paul’s heri-tage stretches back to many years to Chief Willard Ack-ley. The World War I vet-eran was responsible for petitioning the government and establishing the reser-vation in northern Wiscon-sin. Paul’s father also grew up on the reservation and

canoes where built in the 1800s by the Chippewa us-ing Birch bark. The canoes came in a variety of sizes and were important to the tribe’s survival. Paul’s mu-ral will be the backdrop for an actual Voyageur Canoe built in 1895.

The mural will depict the Chippewa of northern Wis-consin in the 1800s. The scene starts in the lake and moves upstream depicting how they used the canoe in everyday life for transpor-tation, fishing, hunting or

lived in a Wigwam until he was 12 years old. After liv-ing many years in Green-ville, Richard Ackley re-turned to the reservation in 1995 after the death of his wife. The World War II and Korean War veteran is 92 years old.

The mural and Voya-geur Canoe are expected to be in place by the end of June and will spend a few years in the museum before eventually finding a home on the Sokadgon Chippewa Reservation.

After 30 years of fire-fighting, four as a volun-

teer, six in the Navy and 20 in Greenville, Tim retired from firefighting in 2008.

Police deal with adult and juvenile drug issuesOn May 17 police re-

sponded to a call from a complainant who said a ve-hicle has been sitting in her driveway for an extended period of time. At one point a male got out of the vehicle and walked to the roadway and handed something to a person in another vehicle, then went back to his ve-hicle. While officers were enroute dispatch advised the vehicle had just left at a high rate of speed and was going through stop signs on the roadway. Officers found and stopped the vehicle. Two individuals inside were identified as Larry Allread and Lee Ware. A third in-dividual was identified as Jamie Straszheim. Ware ex-ited the vehicle; when asked about being in the driveway he said he was being picked up by a friend but then got into a confrontation with a friend living in the area. Ware’s hand shook continu-ously and he was breathing heavily as if he was nervous. Dispatch then advised there was a complaint Ware had been at a nearby location attempting to sell drugs. He denied any drug activity.

With Ware’s permission, his emptied pockets revealed two large knives, a syringe (he had said it was a tooth brush, then said he was dia-betic), pills (which he stated were prescription Vicodin), cocaine (which he admitted to) and other substances which had the appearance of Klonopin and heroin. Ware was arrested and placed in the back of a cruiser. The remaining individuals were asked to exit the vehicle. Drug K9s showed a positive reaction to the vehicle. Po-lice found additional drugs in pill bottles (prescrip-tion with Allread’s name on them), including Trazodone, a substance appearing to be heroin and Vicodin pills. Straszheim said the items were not hers, however they were found in her purse. Both were arrested for pos-session of heroin and trans-ported to the Darke County jail. Ware was charged with possession of heroin and possession of cocaine and transported to the Darke County jail. More charges could follow on all defen-dants due to the amount of drugs located.

On May 15 at 11:09 p.m. police observed a vehicle with no working headlights. A traffic stop was conducted on East Fourth Street. The defendant, Kaitlyn Werling, 18, told police she forgot to turn them on. The officer noted a strong smell of an al-coholic beverage. Wearling said she had two sips of an alcoholic beverage. She per-formed a field sobriety test; however the officer observed an open can of alcohol. Dur-ing a probable cause search the officer discovered addi-tional open alcoholic bev-erage cans and a blue glass pipe with a burnt residue in it and a “grinder” used to grind marijuana before smoking it. She was cited for Underage Consumption of Alcohol and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.

On May 11 police were dispatched to Greenville Junior High School regard-ing three students involved in the use of drugs. School officials learned a student

file charges and obtain an arrest warrant on the third student.

DOMESTICOn May 17 police were

dispatched regarding a do-mestic violence occurrence. The victim reported that she and Robert Tamplin, New Madison, got into a heated argument. He yanked her car keys out of her hand; when they got out of her ve-hicle he allegedly grabbed the victim by the throat and squeezed it. Robert said the victim pushed him, which caused him to drop the keys, adding she hit him and then ran to the neighbor’s. He said he never hit the victim. He had some redness on his face. The victim’s hand was swelling where he allegedly took the keys, a small red mark on the right side of her neck, small amount of swelling under her right eye, a bruise on her left arm and a bruise and a scrape on her right arm (she said she got that from Robert hitting her

had taken some pills dur-ing school. The student first said she had prescribed drugs for the pain in a bro-ken finger; then changed her story to acknowledge taking Percocet. The stu-dent said she also gave two of the pills to another stu-dent. The juvenile said she was walking around town and a third student asked if she had any Percocet. She told him she could get it and give it to him Monday. She later told police she took the pills from an uncle who had taken them from another family member. A third student also cooper-ated once she was told oth-ers had talked. All three will be charged with possession of Percocet. Two students will be charged with traf-ficking in drugs at school, a 4th degree felony. Two students are already on pro-bation and were taken into custody by their probation officer. The report was sent to the prosecutor’s office to

[email protected] – “I

didn’t commit these crimes so I really don’t have any-thing to say,” is what 34-year-old Klint Kuck said before Darke County Com-mon Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein imposed a seven year prison sen-tence Thursday afternoon.

Kuck was found guilty by a jury April 30 on one count of Rape, a first degree felony, and Sexual Battery, a felony of the third degree. He was also convicted on two misde-meanor counts of provid-ing alcohol to an underage person. He was indicted following an investigation of two 19-year-old females

Prosecuting Attorney Kelly Ormsby stated at Thurs-day’s sentencing. “He con-tinues to blame everyone except the man in the mir-ror.”

Though the state asked for 10 years in prison, Ormsby told The Early Bird in an interview that he felt the sentence was substantial.

The courtroom was packed with family mem-bers, friends and both vic-tims in the case to learn Kuck’s fate. Judge Hein addressed both victims in open court after he previ-ously read letters they sub-mitted regarding what they claim to have been going through since the offenses.

“To live captured by something that happened

that say Kuck, who owned the Backroads Bar & Grill at the time, served them alcohol during two sepa-rate occasions before en-gaging in sex without their consent. Kuck continues to maintain his innocence, claiming that he did not rape the woman and that the sex was consensual.

DARKE COUNTY – The Darke County Genealogi-cal Society invites mem-bers and the public to the rescheduled presentation, “History, Mystery, Mayhem and Murder”, on June 7, 2 p.m., in the Lowell Thomas Conference Room at Garst Museum.

Angie Hoschouer, man-ager of Development & Marketing of Woodland Cemetery and Arboretum in Dayton, will keep you on the edge of your seat with chill-ing tales of Dayton’s own bank robbers, counterfeit-ers and murderers as well as toss in a few surprises of local origin. Who confessed on their deathbed of mur-dering pretty 18 year old Christine Kett? Did Rose Shafor really dress up as a man to help her lover com-mit a crime? Who killed Julius Kruse: And was the Cincinnati Ripper living in

Dayton: These stories are told in graphic detail in this chilling presentation.

Angie Hoschouer was a seven-year volunteer be-fore becoming employed at Woodland Cemetery work-ing in several areas includ-ing marketing, historical research and actor por-trayal. She has an extensive background in genealogical research and has traced her biological family back to the 1700’s in Ireland. She is a founding member of the Randolph Twp. Historical Society, a member of the Ohio Genealogical Society with status as a First Fam-ily of Ohio, First Family of Greene County and a mem-ber of the Society of Civil War Families of Ohio.

in the past will rob you of the rest of your life,” Judge Hein told the woman. “The need to get counseling and find a way to move forward is very important for you!”

In addition to the prison sentence, Kuck is ordered to pay $7,500 on both fel-ony counts and $1,000 on each of the misdemeanors. As a Tier III sex offender, he will be required to reg-ister with his local Sher-iff’s office every 90 days for the rest of his life once he is released from prison. He will also be on post re-lease supervision for up to 60 months following the prison term.

Defense attorney Kevin Lennon confirmed that Kuck will be appealing the conviction and sentence and asked Judge Hein to continue bond during the appeal process. The mo-tion was denied and Kuck was immediately taken into custody by the Darke County Sheriff’s Office to begin the sentence.

[email protected] – “Struc-

turally there’s not a lot of life left in the shell,” said Dale Musser, Greenville Parks & Recreation Board. He pointed out many of the areas where Greenville’s Band Shell, built in the 1930’s, needed work, both inside and out.

“I’ve had plans… thoughts about this for seven years,” Musser added. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) has a grant opportunity for up to $150,000. Musser said this is offered every two years. The catch is it requires a matching grant; the appli-cant has to have the money up front.

“So we don’t have to wait another two years, Council

voted to loan the money out of the Capital Improvement Fund. We’ll do a fundraising effort to repay the fund, but at least we have the match-ing money we needed to ap-ply,” Musser said.

This is not a done deal, he noted. The applica-tion went in May 1; that is no guarantee it will be awarded. They will find out in September. Musser was grateful to Greenville Mayor Mike Bowers, Safety Service Director Kurt Garrison and the City Council for their willingness to step up and help. He added Parks Board member Meredith Carp will lead the fundraising effort.

Musser said he and Bow-ers met six to eight years ear-lier to talk about the siding for the shell, as well as some structural issues. He point-ed out areas inside where

ENGLEWOOD – The Miami Valley Career Tech-nology Center (MVCTC) has many exciting summer op-portunities for students this year. For full details on all offerings, please visit www.mvctc.com.

Student Career Camp- June 8-12, 9 - 11:30 a.m. each day. Student Career Camp is for students en-tering the eighth through 10th grades from MVCTC’s partner school districts. The purpose of the one-week ca-reer camp is to give students a hands-on experience in various programs to help them make good career de-cisions.

STEM Camp – June 15-19, 8:30 a.m. – 3 p.m. each day. STEM Camp is for students entering the sixth through eighth grade with an interest in using Science, Technology, Engi-neering, and Mathematics (STEM) to think critically and problem solve. Stu-dents can choose two pro-grams and will spend a full day exploring these career areas with highly qualified math, science, and career-based instructors. Lunch will be provided each day. Registration for this camp is

$50 for students that live in a partner school district and $75 if not living in a partner school district. For more in-formation, call Cora Ullery at (937) 854-6279. Enroll-ment is limited.

Registration for this camp is $50 for students that live in a partner school district and $75 if not living in a partner school district. For more in-formation, call Cora Ullery at (937) 854-6279. Enroll-ment is limited.

support beams were “rack-ing” left and right. “Eyeball it up,” he said, pointing to-ward the top, “and you can see where the beam is off.” Later, at a Parks & Recre-ation meeting May 14, Mote & Associates noted the walls were bowed out; also some termite damage.

“The time with the exist-ing band shell is limited,” Musser said. He added, however, there is no concern for safety, just that the shell at some point will need to be renovated or replaced.

According to Musser, Greenville has the oldest Municipal Band in Ohio, possibly in the country. “That – and the shell – is what makes us unique.” The historic value of the shell, as well as the quality of sound it amplifies, were subjects of concern at the meeting.

Several of those attend-ing talked about the sound quality, noting it needed to be maintained. A render-ing designed by Mote & Associates looks basically the same; “We didn’t want to change history… at the same time we’re open to any changes you want to make.” Musser noted the rendering was only a starting point, not necessarily the final ver-sion.

BPW clubhosts BBQ

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Business & Pro-fessional Women’s (BPW) Club is sponsoring a fund-raiser selling BBQ Chicken Dinners for June 24. Din-ners are available for carry-out or eat in. Pre-sale tick-ets are $7.50.

The dinners consist of one half barbeque chicken, applesauce, chips, and roll and butter. Dinners may be picked up or you can dine in on June 24 between 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the Green-ville VFW, 219 N. Ohio St., Greenville. Tickets can be reserved by calling Deb Niekamp at (419) 305-2178 or picked up at the Second National Bank location at the Brethren Retirement Community, 750 Chestnut, Greenville.

All profits will go toward scholarships to be award-ed to the young women of Darke County. The Green-ville BPW Club thanks you for your support.

Four Municipal Band members – David War-ner, Doug Albright, Brian McKibben and Owen Grif-fith – were at the meeting. They said they would meet internally and come back with suggestions. At the top of their priority lists were storage, security and a sound system. Other con-cerns included public re-strooms and an office. All were pleased at the support from the city.

“I’m grateful the city supports the arts, the band tradition,” said Griffith. He noted the band, which gives concerts in the park free of charge every summer, was formed in 1877.

Musser said the goal is to have a new or renovated shell by 2017. “That’s as-suming we get the grant,” he added. “If not, we have to back up and punt. It doesn’t mean we stop… we just keep trying. We can apply again in two years.”

Musser was optimistic about their ability to raise the matching funds. He noted many of those he sees in attendance at the con-certs could likely write out checks. The rendering will help. “The plans mean a lot to me,” Musser said. “The rendering is what will sell it.”

Dredging in Lake Erie is a growing topic

Of the five great l a k e s , Lake Erie is the shal-lowest. As a result, a large por-tion of the d r e d g -

ing that happens in the Great Lakes takes place in Lake Erie, our great lake in Ohio. Wa-ter quality in Lake Erie has been a major topic throughout this General Assembly, and I expect interest to grow in the coming years.

In Ohio, the number one channel that is be-ing dredged runs from the Maumee River to about 20 miles into the lake. Each year dredg-ers cut a groove into the lake floor that will allow sea-going-vessels and other large vessels con-fined to the Great Lakes to dock in Toledo, bring-ing new commerce to our state and the Tole-do-area. Similar dredg-ing takes places in the Cuyahoga River, which is naturally deeper and as a result less labor in-tensive. However, PCBs from older industries line the floor of the river in portions, making the handling of the dredging material there cumber-some.

Dredging in the great lakes is managed by the Army Corps of En-gineers, and is subject to careful oversight by both the United States Environmental Protec-tion Agency and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. The sheer amount of dredg-ing needed to keep the Maumee River and the federal navigational channel fully functional in order to handle high-volume port activity is an enormous challenge. Contaminated material is typically disposed of in a confined disposal facility, which is quick-ly filing up. This has launched a debate be-tween state and federal authorities regarding what to do with the ma-terial.

The state is doing its part to handle the mate-rial in an environmen-tally sound manner, but the federal government is employing a less desir-able disposal method as a means of cost savings: open lake dumping. As a taxpayer and public ser-vant, I respect the Army Corps of Engineers ef-forts to save tax dollars, but dumping this nutri-ent-rich material in Lake Erie goes against my conscious. Much of the natural material that is dredged could be sold at garden stores or as soil, instead of promoting al-gae growth in the lake.

We are seeing some environmentally-friend-ly solutions come about, albeit with a higher cost. A pilot project screening the material and remov-ing it from the water be-fore it gets to areas with PCBs is underway in the Cuyahoga River, and in Toledo the EPA is leading a project where dredged material is pumped onto the land to show its value in agriculture.

As Ohioans, we should pay attention to this is-sue. It will inevitably be-come more pressing over the next several years. We will ultimately have a solution when we can better utilize the dredged material, which will pay for the increased costs of removing it from the rivers and the lake. The outcome of the dredg-ing issues in Lake Erie will most likely impact our agricultural markets which rely on the export of grain through the Port of Toledo.

With Memorial Day on Monday, this is the best time to remember the sacrifice of those who lost their lives to keep this country free for 239 years. This weekend be safe and thank those who stood by our fallen veterans for their service and willingness to de-fend our nation.

Things that Make You Go HmmmIf it fails – I can always blame the kids.

Of those three options I listed, I think being cu-rious to see how things will turn out is my favor-ite. We’ve been told since birth – “You won’t know if you like it unless you try it.” I’ve tried quite a few things in my life – some I’ve liked – some I didn’t. I’ve had octopus, caviar and escargot and I can’t say I would make it a reg-ular part of my diet. I’ve had my wife’s cooking and I can’t say I would make it a regular part of my diet. (Yeah! I went there.) I’ve tried bungee jumping. I thought I was going to die, but I loved it. I tried box-ing. I thought I was going to die and nearly did. (Not really, but when you get knocked on your keester like I did you feel like you have death’s door knocker in your hand.)

For the past few years I’ve had my wife cut my hair. I have to admit the first time she did it I was a little nervous, but she did

a great job and I haven’t been to a salon since.

I figured if my wife could cut my hair, what could stop my 12 year old daughter from being able to do it? Yep! That was definitely a “Things that Make You Go Hmmm” moment. Don’t get me wrong. I wasn’t about to put scissors into the hands of my daughter and let her go to town on my head. After all, I am the one that has grounded her from nearly everything she owns at one time or an-other. I was giving her the clippers with the guides attached so she couldn’t scalp me.

She followed my in-structions to the letter. She cut my hair perfectly. To demonstrate I’m not a complete idiot, I have to admit I did have my wife come in and trim the edg-es. The last thing I need is my daughter’s initials engraved in the back of my head for the next six months.

As soon as I looked in

the mirror and realized I wasn’t bald and my head didn’t look uneven I be-gan to wonder how could I make myself look like I knew what I was doing. Then it donned on me. My subconscious knew what I was doing all along. I was being an absolutely won-derful father. I was giving my daughter something few dads would dare give their pre-teen. I was using myself as a guinea pig to open her mind to career options. I don’t know what she wants to be when she grows up, but I want her to be open to anything. If let-ting her cut my hair opens her mind to the possibility of being a hair stylist or if it makes her want to avoid that occupation, then I’ve done something wonder-ful for her. On the other hand – if it made her into one of those creepy people that sneaks up on an un-suspecting person and cuts a lock of their hair and saves it under her bed – then I really screwed up.

READERS WRITEtions and confusion have arisen regarding the seats at Memorial Hall that will be replaced as part of the project that is being fund-ed through a grant from the Ohio Facilities Con-struction Commission. Greenville City Schools, the owner of Memorial Hall, is selling the current seats as part of its annual auction. The sale of the seats will be conducted on-line by Midwest Auc-tioneers; funds from this sale are directed to the school’s General Fund. Much-needed new seat-ing is expected to be in-stalled by the beginning of the 2015-2016 school year. No additional funds are being solicited or are needed to fund the new seats; the grant secured through the efforts of our community’s legislators

will cover the entire cost. Darke County Endow-

ment for the Arts is plan-ning to create a plaque that will be placed within Memorial Hall to honor for all time those patrons to the Memorial Hall Restoration Project com-pleted during the 1990’s whose generous dona-tions were recognized by having their names placed on those auditorium seats that are now being re-moved. New seat spon-sorships are not a part of the current refurbishing project.

I’ve never been known to be the smartest tool in the shed (see what I mean; I couldn’t even get the analogy correct), even though I’ve been called a “tool” a time or two. Some of my actions and decisions would best be described by C & C Music Factory’s chart topping song from the 1980’s, “Things that Make You Go Hmmm.”

Maybe I’m too impul-sive and don’t think things through all the way. May-be I’m just curious to see how things will turn out. Maybe I’m just stupid. If I took a vote on that at my house I bet I could pick which option would win. If I make a bonehead deci-sion and it turns out in my favor – I can usually spin it into something positive that makes me look good.

GCBL celebrates opening dayBY GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS [email protected]

GREENVILLE – Green-ville held its opening day ceremonies for the 2015 Greenville Citizens Base-ball League (GCBL) Satur-day at Sater Heights Park.

Keith Heidrich, 2015 Commissioner opened the ceremony welcoming ev-eryone to the 2015.

“The ceremonies went really well,” Heidrich stated. “It was good to see sponsors here and repre-sentatives supporting us. We couldn’t do it without them.”

“It is good to see a lot of kids here and a lot of parents,” Heidrich added. “The raffle went really well … nice to give away some nice prizes. Thanks to the sponsors for stepping up and helping us with those prizes.”

According to Heidrich, there are about 350 par-ticipants representing five age groups in the 2015 GCBL program. Although the numbers have been down a little over the past few years, the new season is seeing an increase in participation.

“This year our num-bers went up a little bit,” Heidrich said. “Our All-Star numbers have been down a little the last few years and those are com-ing back. We’re making some progress.”

“We are really blessed right now with a great group of core coaches,” said Heidrich. “I think we

are really onto something here with Greenville base-ball. Coach Blumenstock (Greenville High School Varsity Baseball Coach) is helping us out … the winter academy and doing other things … and its showing. We are having good num-bers. I think that kind of stuff shows.”

“I love coming out here seeing all these guys hav-ing a good time,” said Blu-menstock. “A lot of people put a lot of work into what is going on out here. Many people put a lot of effort into keeping all this going for us.”

“I have a nine year that has been playing since I can remember,” continued Blumenstock. “Baseball is a great sport. I think it is great for all these kids to get out and have a good time.” Also seen at the opening

Lady Jets mount comeback to claim sectional championship

Greenville’s Plessinger, Balsbaugh recognized by GWOCBY CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF [email protected]

GREENVILLE – The Greater Western Ohio Con-ference (GWOC) recently recognized members of the Greenville varsity tack & field team. Head Coach Bill Plessinger was named the GWOC North Coach of the Year and Athlete of the Year honor went to senior Aaron Balsbaugh.

Balsbaugh, who will run and play basketball at Tay-lor University next year, is currently ranked 4th in region in the 800 meter with a season best time of 1:55.71. His personal best is 1:53.82 which he set last season in the 800m.

This season, Aaron ran a personal best in the 1600 meter with a time of 4:27.13. He is ranked 6th in the region in the high jump having a personal best by clearing 6′-4″ in competition. In addi-tion, Balsbaugh is part of Greenville’s 4×800 team who is ranked 6th and re-cently qualified to compete at the regional meet.

“My main goal is just to get better each time,” Balsbaugh told The Early Bird in interview. “ M a k i n g state would be awe-some!”

W h e n asked how he feels about be-ing named Coach of the Year, Bill Plessinger contributed any success to the team and his supportive coaching staff for making it possible.

“Winning an award is always great, but in my opinion it is a reflection of the whole team,” the coach said. “Both the boys and girls team practice and compete together which I feel helps overall team-work and builds up the program as a whole.”

Plessinger has coached Greenville track for 20 years, 17 at varsity level,

and is known for his dedi-cation to the program and supporting his team and coaching staff.

“Coach Plessinger has been a great mentor to me,” said assistant track coach Stephanie Lind. “He has been extremely helpful in educating me in all as-pects of track and field and I love that we are able to have open, honest dialogue about what is best for our athletes. We really value each others opinions.”

Though Plessinger says

it will be tough to ever gain another runner like Balsa-baugh, his team has many young athletes that are al-ready performing at a high level.

“These kids work hard and put in the extra time so it is great to see them perform well,” Plessinger added.

The Greenville track & field athletes that qualify will compete at the region-al level beginning May 27 in Dayton.

ceremony was Greenville Varsity Football Coach Aaron Shaffer.

“Coach Shaffer is abso-lutely great with the kids,” said Heidrich. “He’s a great football coach, but it’s all about having good people down here, good positive environment for the kids, cheering kids on, rooting kids on … that is what we are trying to do.”

Coach Shaffer is coach-ing an International rec-team team of nine and ten year olds and is also coach-ing the 10U All-Star team for Greenville.

“I spent a lot of time down here as a kid,” said Shaffer. “My dad was com-missioner and I played baseball growing up. We want our kids to be active and involved to develop skills and relationships with their peers and learn

[email protected] PLEASANT HILL – “I

am so proud of these girls today,” said Head Coach Mike Morris after his Lady Jets mounted a fifth inning comeback against South-eastern Tuesday to claim the sectional champion-ship at Newton.

The #3 seed Frank-lin Monroe softball team struggled to get things go-ing as they came to bat in the fourth inning down 2-0 to the #2 seed Lady Tro-jans. FM was able to get a run on the scoreboard be-fore stranding three run-ners.

“We got the momentum now girls… let’s go!” Coach Morris told his team as the defense took the field.

As the Lady Jets came back up to bat in the top of the fifth, still down 2-1, the team took that mo-mentum to get five runs

and take a big lead over a stunned Southeastern squad.

“We have had big in-nings all year,” Morris added. “When someone gets a big hit, it is very con-tagious.”

FM won the game and sectional title by a final score of 6-2. Emilee Mor-ris pitched the entire seven innings to get the win for the Lady Jets.

Franklin Monroe will play for district title against Triad Saturday at Brookville High School. The game is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.

“Triad has a great pitch-er, but we have seen good pitchers all year,” Coach Morris concluded. “Hope-fully we can keep it close and bring home a district championship!”

some good sportsmanship. What better way to do it in the springtime than down at the ball diamonds.”

“The good thing is the kids that come out here and play baseball; they stay active, they are run-ning, they are participat-ing and they are doing the things that kids should be doing … that’s out having fun with their friends and staying in shape,” Shaffer said.

“We do enjoy our base-ball in summertime and spring is baseball season,” added Shaffer. “We’ll be down here just about every day and helping whether it be in the concession stand, raking the diamonds or coaching kids.”

Greenville freshman hits grand slam in sectional title win

NEW CARLISLE - The Lady Wave used a six-in-ning 10-0 run rule victory Tuesday over Indian Lake to claim 12 sectional titles in the past 13 years.

A 2014 sectional loss broke a string of 11 consec-utive Greenville titles pro-viding the Tuesday night incentive advancing the Lady Wave in tournament play.

“We played pretty good,” said Greenville Coach Jer-rod Newland. “We were ready to play here today. Last year the loss at this place fueled this program for the next five years. On to the district title … 12 of the last 13 years playing for the District Championship.”

“Russell threw an “A” game on the mound today,” said Newland. Cassie hits one off the fence in the first-inning and obviously jacks one about 220 and as soon as she hit it to make it nine I just couldn’t wait to get that next one because you don’t get too many walk-off run rules in sectional finals.”

A Cassie Cromwell double to center, a Sydney Grote walk and a Jazzlyn

Petry 2-RBI double put the Wave up 2-0 after one.

The Lakers would go down 1-2-3 in the top of the second with Russell picking up her third strikeout of the game.

Alli Hill singled to left to open the bottom of the second followed with a Ma-kayla Hanes sacrifice bunt and a two-out Shaffer RBI single giving the Lady Wave a 3-0 lead.

Russell legged out a fifth-inning infield single and came around to score with Indian Lake mishandling a Cromwell bunt.

Cromwell moved to third on a Lakers throwing error setting up a Grote RBI dou-ble off the centerfield fence for a 5-0 Wave lead with Indian Lake coming to the plate.

“All week we have had one thing on our mind and that was to come out and play a pretty good game,” said Newland. “We played a great team today. They were 21-6, won ten in a row, but if we play well it doesn’t matter who we are play-ing and obviously today we took care of business and moving on.”

After two quick sixth-inning outs, Greenville took advantage of an Ash-ton Kester single, a Shaffer

bunt single and a Russell infield single loading the bases with freshman Cassie Cromwell standing at the plate.

With a swing of the bat, Cromwell left no doubt this ball had left the park for a grand-slam homerun over the right-center fence giv-ing the Lady Wave a 9-0 lead.

A throwing error had Grote safely on base fol-lowed with a Petry walk-off RBI single giving the Lady Wave a six-inning 10-0 run rule win.

“Today’s game was dedi-cated to Bill Booker,” stated Newland. “We have his pic-

ture here and he makes the tournament with us. One of the last things he told me before he passed was just make sure you win at Te-cumseh, because last year was the first time we ever lost a sectional game. My joke to Bill was, I killed him and he joked a little bit and one of the last things he said was, just win at Tecumseh … so game ball today obvi-ously … Russell, Cromwell and Book … good stuff.”

Russell held Indian Lake to five singles while strik-ing out eight with the Wave moving to 26-3 on the sea-son.

[email protected] PLEASANT HILL – Ar-

canum defeated the Cedar-ville Indians 5-4 Wednesday in nine-innings to claim the 2015 OHSAA Division IV Baseball Sectional Champi-onship game.

“We battled,” said Arca-num Coach Randy Baker. “We should have had some better at-bats. We had some at-bats we would have liked to have had back, but we battled. You never know what is going to happen.”

The Trojans took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second getting one-out sin-gles from Austin Baker and Hunter Saunders, a Hayden Westfall sacrifice bunt and a Kyle Carlisle walk loading the bases with two outs.

Arcanum plated the first run of the night with Baker racing home on a past-ball.

Cedarville went down 1-2-3 in the top of the third with Jordan Dubbs striking out the side.

A Conner Pohl leadoff single, a Colin Hable sac-rifice bunt and a Cedar-ville balk had Pohl at third setting up a Dubbs RBI groundout with Arcanum taking a 2-0 lead.

Cedarville would string together five fourth-inning hits taking a 4-2 lead before a Habel catch at first had Arcanum out of the inning.

“It wasn’t pitches that he missed,” said Baker. “They just hit the ball. They are a very scrappy team. Give them a lot of credit. That’s a good ball club.”

A one-out Saunders dou-ble, two Indians errors and a Burrell steal of second paved the way for Arcanum to even the score a 4-4 after four.

“We look at one game, one team at a time,” Baker

said. “Anybody can beat us and we can beat anybody.”

Pohl was called on to pitch the top of the sixth with a 4-4 score.

The big right-hander set the Indians down in or-der in the top of the sixth, striking-out the side in the seventh and eighth-innings while Cedarville was keep-ing the Trojans off the board in their half of play.

Cedarville would get a ninth-inning opening single and a steal of second putting the winning run in scoring position with no outs.

Pohl struck out the next three batters bringing the Trojans to the plate in the bottom of the ninth.

“Pitching was excellent,” said Baker. “Even the hits that they had, they were quality hits for their part.”

Saunders picked up his third hit of the night strok-ing a single to left.

A sacrifice bunt off the bat of Westfall had Saun-ders thrown out at second,

but the speedy Westfall beat the relay throw to first giv-ing the Trojans a runner on with one down.

An Arcanum groundout and an Indians balk had Westfall leading off second with two-outs bringing Bur-rell to the plate for the Tro-jans junior to rip a grounder to second with the ball mis-handled sending Westfall

home with the Trojans win-ning run.

“The two teams I had go to the regionals in the past, we have had games like this where you come out and you find a way to win, and we did,” said Baker. “We’re going to districts and hope-fully there is a little magic on our side now.”

[email protected] – Ac-

cording to pole vault coach Micah Coblentz, Green-ville’s AJ Frens set a goal at the beginning of the season of clearing 15 feet. At last week’s Greater Western Ohio Conference (GWOC) championship meet Frens reached his goal…and then some.

The sophomore pole-vaulter cleared 15′-3″ to win and set a new meet record during the competition at Troy High School.

In an interview with The Early Bird, Frens gave his reason for setting the 15′ goal.

“Kevin Leland cleared

15′ in his sophomore year so I wanted to make sure I at least tied him,”Frens said with a smile.

Leland is Greenville’s 2009 Div. I state pole vault champion who cleared 16′-1″ in his senior year.

“AJ is definitely on pace to reach Leland’s record,” Coach Coblentz said. “He and the rest of the team work very hard all year.”

“It is gonna be fun watch-ing him go for the record in the next two seasons,” Coblentz added.

Frens is now one step closer to competing at state level with his first place per-formance at Wednesday’s district meet at Wayne High School.

County Conference (CCC) Champion Arcanum Trojans baseball program earned top honors with Conner Pohl named the 2015 CCC baseball player of the year and Coach Randy Baker receiving coach of the year honors.

“I give the players all the credit,” said Coach Baker. “They did what we asked them to do. Cant’s ask for anything more than that.”

Pohl led the Trojans on the mound with a 5-1 re-cord and a save with a 0.897 ERA in 39-innings pitched. The 6’4” junior allowed just 13 hits and 21 walks on the season.

“It’s a great honor,” said Pohl. “I’m very fortu-nate this year to come out throwing strikes as a pitcher

and hitting a lot better this year.”

At the plate, Pohl carried a .353 batting average while accounting for 20 RBIs and 17 runs scored and held down third base when not pitching for the Trojans.

“I have great players and coaches around me to thank,” stated Pohl. “Coach Baker makes it fun and knows what he is talking about, knows what he is do-ing. He has been around the game for a lot of years.

He knows what we need to do and does what he needs to do.”

Coach Randy Baker col-lects his fourth CCC Coach of the Year award having received the honor in 1999, 2010 and 2012 each time leading the Trojans to a CCC championship.

“That’s all the players,” said Coach Baker. “It’s all about the players.”

[email protected] – Little Mr.

Yesteryear plans to be a cowboy when he grows up; Little Miss Yesteryear is going to be a superhero. Her favorite food is a tuna noodle casserole; his is hot dogs. About the only thing the two youngsters agree on is blue is their favorite color.

Brayden Barnes, 4, wearing an old-fashioned golfing outfit, the son of Scott Barnes and Melissa Gaspar, was crowned Little Mr. Yesteryear at Arca-num Old Fashioned Days May 16. Kymmeri Joslin, 6, wearing a homemade Vic-torian gown, the daughter of Nate and Misty Joslin, was crowned Little Miss Yesteryear.

First runner-up Little Mr. was Pacey Miller, 3, son of Shelley Miller. Sec-ond runner-up was CJ Mi-chael, 3, son of Chris and Jodi Michael. First runner-up Little Miss was Marissa Louis, 6, daughter of Matt and Laralee Louis. Second runner-up was Danicka Mi-chael, 6, daughter of Chris and Jodi Michael.

The Little Mr. & Miss Yesteryear competition was conducted by Amber Profitt of Yes Deere Hair & Nail Boutique. Also among the eight boys competing were Owen Davis, Joey Clopp, Seth Richard, Wyatt Lind-sey and Daniel Davis. Also among the 14 girls compet-ing were Emily Jamison, Breanna Hill, Lola Sando, Georgianna Rausch, El-lie Sands, Sierra Johnson, Brookelynn Louis, Payton Brewer, Claire Simpson, Glori Mae Rausch and Haddie Gilpin.

The Little Mr. & Miss Yesteryear competition took place immediately fol-lowing the Arcanum Old Fashioned Days Parade. Best parade entry went to Terry Clark, Friends of Bears Mill volunteer, in his vintage fire truck. Old Fash-ioned Days offered visitors their first taste of fair food for the 2015 season. It also included a petting zoo, a kiddie tractor pull and car-nival rides. Worthy of note were three young ladies – Zoey and Lydia Ayette and Kara Wright – who proved entrepreneurship was alive and well with their lemon-ade and cookie stand.

PALESTINE – If you at-tended Palestine, Hollans-burg or Westmont High School plan to attend the annual alumni banquet on June 20. The theme of the 2015 Alumni Banquet, which will be held at the Golden Eagle Christian Center in Palestine, will be “Good Old School Days.”

Come to visit with your former classmates at 4:30 p.m., the meal will be served at 5:30 p.m. The Westmont class of 1965 will be the honored class this year and the classes of 1955 and 1945 will also be recognized.

Prizes will be given for the person who is dressed the most authentically for the year of 1965, for the oldest alumni present, and

for the alumni present who lives the farthest away.

After the meal of pork loin, mashed potatoes, corn, salad, and dessert, entertainment will be pro-vided by Jamie Osborne.

If you have any ques-tions regarding this year’s banquet contact Bud House at 548-8191. Send reservations (by June 1, 2015) to Dixie Robbins, 1452 Hollansburg-Arca-num Rd., New Madison, Ohio 45346 along with $17 for each attendee.

[email protected] – The

38th annual Darke County Special Olympics Track & Field Event went off with-out a hitch on May 15. While there was rain to the north and south of Greenville, and unlike 2014 when the event had to be postponed a few days, Harmon Field stayed dry.

Approximately 350 school-aged Special Olym-pics athletes and unified partners from every school district in the county con-verged on Harmon Field in Greenville to compete in running and walking events, slalom, relays with unified partners, boys and girls shot put, bean bag toss, long jump and soft-ball throw. The athletes did their best to earn a blue rib-bon. After competing, the athletes made a quick dash to the podium where they could hardly wait their turn to have their picture taken and a ribbon pinned on their chest.

When not participating they could be seen social-izing and cheering on their friends. Family members could also be found rooting

their athlete on to victory or giving out hugs after they did their best in an event.

Cindy Rose, volunteer Special Olympics coordi-nator for Darke County, was joined by a host of volunteers to watch over the events, make sure the athletes made it to their assigned places, give out high-fives and pin ribbons on the winners. While the track and field event is the most recognized event put on by Darke County Spe-cial Olympics, it is not the only event in the county. In addition to track and field, the county’s teams and in-dividuals also compete in basketball, softball, bowl-ing and equestrian events.

Even though a few had minor sunburns, smiles graced the faces of nearly every athlete as they gath-ered their stuff and headed back to the bus for the trip back to school; all of whom had bragging rights for be-ing superb athletes.

VERSAILLES – The Versailles Museum is changing. As the seasons change so do their won-derful displays.

They are excited to offer new displays for the sum-mer. Their 1890’s barn yard has taken on a new look as things are in bloom and all is ready for Poultry Day 2015.

In addition, they have added a new lighting dis-play from candles to the incandescent bulb “Illu-minating Our World” will show early lighting and its remarkable journey to lighting our home and world.

Another interesting dis-play, “As Time Goes By,” features a great collection of time pieces from the 1800 and 1900’s and is filled with beautiful clocks and watches.

One of their more am-bitious changes is the cre-ation of the Huffman 1900 General Mercantile Store. The name honors Alice Huffman who was one of the museum’s original founders and trustees and who passed away in April. This collection gathered from many friends of the museum helps to recreate the wonderful memories of yesteryear of the fun of visiting a country store. There were many in the area, from George’s Gener-al Store in North Star and Osgood, to Kelch’s Gen-eral Store in Brock. One of the larger rural stores was Althoff and Martin’s in Willowdell. The Littman’s even had a “huckster wag-on” to take their products on the road to sell in the neighborhoods around the Willowdell community. Tom Mendenhall, one of our chief builders, created awesome shelving to give the room the right look.

With the Poultry festi-val fast approaching they have brought out much of

our Poultry history of the industry as well as the fes-tival and it may be seen in the Entrepreneur Room at the museum.

Martin’s Department Store is still featured as a 1940’s through the 1980’s staple in the community. Sharing this space is an envisioned tribute to the local newspapers in Ver-sailles. Both The Leader and The Versailles Policy served the community well and The Policy remains the oldest and longest op-erating newspaper in all of Darke County. Also, numerous other old busi-nesses, long forgotten by many are fondly recalled from Hawk & Fanastalk, to J.K. Long and Earhart Tobacco, to Gerlach’s Har-ness and Auto Repair, to numerous other gems.

Midmark’s fascinating 100 year history remains on display as well as the ever changing military dis-play. If you have any pre World War I items that you would consider loan-ing they would love to hear from you.

Be sure to visit the Gift Shop.

During the months of June and July all Annie Oakley items will be 50 percent off. Added to their books, they now have Jim Eiting’s book and a few copies of their own book, “All Roads Lead Home,” are available. Cookbooks from the Pohl Family and Trinity Lutheran Church are also reasonably priced for your collections. Thanks to David Simmons they have copies of Time-line, the magazine of the Ohio Historical Society and are available at a re-duced price.

Raffle tickets are a must and are also available in the Gift Shop. The drawing will be July 5 at the annual Ice Cream Social on the museum lawn.

In addition to the duck race, the agency will also host the ninth annual Duck N’ Run/Walk 5k race, which is a part of the Shelby County 5K Tour. The 5k run/walk will be held on the same evening of June 18 with race time at 8:15 p.m. through scenic Tawawa Park in Sidney. Registration will begin at 7 p.m., and a shot-gun start will begin the race at 8:15 p.m. Runners (walk-ers also welcome) will fol-low the course through the scenic park, with re-

freshments and an awards presentation waiting at the finish line. Runners can pre-register for the event for $25, which includes t-Shirt and Rubber Duck Adoption. Additional price options include $20 allows a runner to participate and receive a t-shirt, or $12 will cover the cost of the race only. Race day reg-istration is $15 and does not include a t-shirt. Duck adoptions and t-shirts will also be sold separately on race day.

The public is invited to come out at 7:30 p.m. for the Rubber Duck Race to cheer on their adopted rubber duck and compete for some awesome prizes.

Last year nearly 3,000 rubber ducks made their way down Mosquito Creek to compete for the many fabulous prizes. This year’s grand prize will be

a $1,000 Shopping Spree (some restrictions may ap-ply). There are also many other great prizes, includ-ing; two “3-day” passes to the great Country Concert at Hickory Hills, Dayton Dragons tickets, and Res-taurant gift certificate; and much more!

The Daffy Duck Derby is a fun and exciting way to help children within the Shelby and Darke County communities. By “adopt-ing” a rubber duck for $5 or a Daffy Dozen (6 ducks) for $25 you not only have a chance to win some fan-tastic prizes, but you will have made a difference by providing financial sup-port to a Big and Little and our mentoring programs. Duck adoptions will be available at the BBBS of-fice, Meyers Garage and Drive Thru in Newport, 47 Bar in Grille in Port Jeffer-son, Brew Nation in down-town Sidney, and Perkins in Sidney. Ducks will also be sold at the Downtown Farmers Market in Sid-ney and Greenville. Event sponsors this year include Sidney Body Carstar,

County Focus Group, LLC, Trupointe Cooperative, J & J Enterprises, Dave Rus-sell, CPA, LLC, Hits 105.5, and Holloway.

If you would like to register for the 5k Race, or adopt a “duck”, call the local office at 492-7611 or 547-9622. Interested per-sons also have the option of obtaining a registration and/or order form on-line. Log on to www.bigbrobig-sis-shelbydarke.org and download your forms.

GREENVILLE – All Darke County children, 7 to 13 years of age, are invited to attend Camp SWONEKY in Oregonia, Ohio, June 24–30. The camp fee is $20 per child, and each child must have a physical. Applications are available at Community Action Part-nership, 1469 Sweitzer St., Greenville.

Activities include the playgrounds, a jumping pillow, swimming pool, lake for boating and fish-ing, a nature center, craft lodge, a ropes course, chil-dren’s petting farm, horse corral, hiking trails, tennis, basketball, volleyball, base-ball/softball, campfire am-phitheater, and much more. Tonya Estell, staff member at CAP, said, “The cost is minimal and the camp is a great opportunity for chil-dren to learn new things and make new friends. We want to sign up as many as we can this year.”

Camp SWONEKY had its beginnings in 1912 and was opened for underprivileged children who were referred to The Salvation Army by social agencies from all over Southwest Ohio and Northeast Kentucky. The camp name is an acronym for Southwest Ohio-North-east Kentucky.

The purpose of Salva-tion Army camping is to serve the needs of camp-ers: physical, social, and spiritual. In meeting physi-cal needs, their aim is to help children develop good health habits in cleanli-ness, proper rest, balanced

diet, exercise, and care of the body. For social needs, the camp provides an op-portunity for each camper to contribute to and receive from a group living expe-rience, helping campers make their own right deci-sions, stimulate creativity, and foster independence. The fact that The Salvation Army is a religious orga-nization makes it possible for its camping program to integrate concern for the spiritual dimension of life.

Jeffrey Cassell

VERSAILLES – “This is the big award,” Ver-sailles Health Care Center (VHCC) Director Kristy Earick said. “We’re the top facility out of 27 build-ings.” She grinned, adding “We get little ones every year… we’re going to have to get a new award cabinet. The Current one is full.”

One hundred fifty em-ployees, guests and Cov-enant Care officials gath-ered at Stillwater Golf Course May 19 to celebrate the fifth time VHCC has won Covenant Care’s Fa-cility of the Year Award.

Earick said while previ-ous awards focused on her facility’s thanks to the com-munity, this one was about her employees. “We have three employees who have been with us 30 years,” she said. “They were here when VHCC was started.” It’s the tenure of the staff, she continued. “That’s the secret of our success… how

ANSONIA – Ansonia sixth grader Leann Ressler was shy and modest about her accomplishment… be-ing named the AAA School Safety Patroller of the Year. How did she do it? “I guess I did my job,” she said.

According to Rick Kies, Ansonia Safety Patrol Ad-visor, Leann was one of only two students to whom he had given the respon-sibility of being a Patrol Supervisor. He pointed out she was very efficient with her job and responses to her duties. “She didn’t worry about popularity… she worried about doing what’s right,” he added.

Leann competed with 51 nominated students from Miami Valley schools with more than 3,000 students participating in the Safety Patrol program. As part of the process, Kies had to

GREENVILLE – After 33 years of dealing with stu-dents and the ever chang-ing requirements handed down by the state, most educators are looking for-ward to retirement. Jeffrey Cassell isn’t like most edu-cators. The current Wood-land Heights Elementary principal said he is looking for a new challenge. A new challenge is exactly what he will get when the 2015/16 school year begins. He will go from working with five year olds to dealing with 18 year olds when he assumes the role of principal of the Greenville Senior High.

Although Cassell has only been with Greenville City Schools for a year, he is very familiar with Darke County’s students. He is a graduate of Franklin Mon-roe and spent 15 years in

long the staff stays with us. Longevity makes for a strong team.”

The 30-year-employ-ees – Chris Huber, LPN, Mary Bruening, STNA, and Therese Pohlman, Business Office Manager – were honored during the awards ceremony, along with more than two doz-en employees, all with 10 years or more of service to VHCC.

Covenant Care CEO Bob Levin said the California company has 57 facilities in seven states. It focuses on a culture of clinical ex-cellence in combination with entrepreneurial own-ership. “They are the guid-ing light,” he said, referring to VHCC. “Versailles is one of our best facilities; none of the others comes even close.” He added VHCC has received Facility of the Year five times; the next highest number is two.

VHCC, according to Levin, is a rural facility do-ing the things to help pa-tients typically only seen in urban facilities. “They

write a brief essay on why he was nominating his student, and Leann had to write an essay on leader-ship and what she learned from it. One of her com-ments included the pro-gram “helped me become a better leader by showing me responsibilities and looking out for others.”

Ansonia Principal Kris-ta Stump was impressed by her dedication. “We were doing a Tiger tele-cast and Leann seemed nervous, then she said ‘I’m late for my post. I need to get there.” She took her responsibilities seriously. Kies added his student was one of the safety patrollers who worked every shift (morning and afternoon) every day of the year.

Leann’s leadership style impressed Stump, Kies and AAA. She said, “When they (other students) didn’t get it right, I didn’t yell at them. I showed them. Then when they did it right

that district as a teacher. He has also taught, been a prin-cipal or a superintendent at Ansonia, Bradford, Vanda-lia Butler, Bethel and New-ton. Although he admits it looks like he is a much trav-eled educator, those num-bers are little skewed with 25 of his 33 years at two schools – Franklin Monroe and Vandalia Butler.

“The district is ready to blossom,” said Cassell. He recognizes the number of students in Greenville’s

have embraced some of those high-end programs,” he added.

While the focus of this awards event was on her staff, Earick said they couldn’t be success-ful without the support of the community. “We are a family serving families. It’s what we do,” she said. “It’s part of the culture of

the community… high ex-pectations and living up to them. It’s an amazing cul-ture to work in.”

VHCC has 150 employ-ees in its two facilities, the second being Affirma, its rehabilitation program. In 2014 VHCC sent 185 peo-ple home. Earick antici-pates they will easily send 225 people home in 2015.

they got a big smile… you got it!!”

As AAA Safety Patrol-ler of the Year, Leann was awarded $500 cash. She said it would go into her college fund. Kies was awarded a $100 AAA Visa Gift Card and Ansonia El-ementary was awarded a $100 gift certificate to pur-

chase AAA Safety Patrol supplies.

“I was really shocked and surprised when they said I won,” Leann said quietly. “I’m kind of shy… not so much liking all the attention.” Then she smiled. “But it’s kind of nice,” she said.

GREENVILLE – On Tuesday, the water began flowing to fill up the Green-ville City Pool which is set to open to the public from 1-7 p.m. on Memorial Day (Monday, May 25).

In their 2nd year man-aging the pool, Custer and Sam Bowers have worked to make some major up-grades and give the pool a fresh new look. According to Manager Caleb Custer, a generous private memo-rial donation to the park board received went to-wards fresh paint in the bathrooms and fencing and installing new shower curtains at the pool.

This year, 2014 GHS graduate Kyle Bruner has joined Bowers in the Asst. Manger role of the public pool. Bruner will be going into his sophomore year at Wittenberg University, studying middle school administration. He is also a part of the football team at the Springfield, Ohio college.

Bruner told The Early Bird he plans to be avail-able all summer at the pool and is excited to be a part of the team with Custer and Bowers.

Bowers, a 2013 GHS graduate, is currently en-rolled at Bowling Green University majoring in sports management, with a minor in market-

ing. Custer, who is a 2012 Greenville grad, recently graduated from the Sin-clair Fire Academy and vol-unteers for the Greenville Twp. Fire Department, in addition to managing the pool. He says he plans to take paramedic training in the fall.

“I look forward to work-ing with the kids during swim lessons, the commu-nity booking pool parties and being at the pool on a hot summer day,” Custer said. “I am sure it will be another great season at the Greenville City Pool!”

After the Memorial Day opening, the pool is sched-uled to be open from 4-9 p.m. everyday until Tues-day, June 2 which is the first official day of summer for most local students. Family and individual sea-son passes are on sale now. Cost for family is $150, individual $100. Daily pool admission is $5 and half price after 5:30 p.m. throughout the summer.

A special showing of the Disney Pixar movie ‘Find-ing Nemo’ will be featured at the Late Night Swim Party scheduled for Fri-day, May 29 from 7-9:30 p.m. Get more informa-tion about this event, pass-es and swimming lesson registration at the City of Greenville website at www.cityofgreenville.org.

schools have tailed off in recent years, but he be-lieves the school district is moving forward. “I want to be part of something good,” he said.

Cassell said he enjoyed his year at Woodland Heights working with the younger students, but the experienced educator un-derstands his role and goals will be different at the high school. In the elementary, the primary focus is on the child and helping them learn the skills they need to move on. In high school, educators continue to focus on the student, but there is a lot more attention given to content of the material that is taught.

He may miss one aspect of his current position – the students treat him like a su-perhero. He ate lunch with a student recently and the student looked up and pro-claimed, “This is the best day of my life.” He would

expect the opposite reac-tion if he sat down to eat with a high schooler next year, “This is the worst day of my life.”

While he may have used some of his previous posi-tions as a stepping stone to get to the next job, Cassell said this is not one of those cases. “I’ve been there, done that,” he said. He believes he will retire from Green-ville at some point.

Superintendent Doug Fries believes Cassell’s ex-perience will help him be successful in this new posi-tion. “He is an experienced administrator and he did an excellent job for us at Woodland Heights.”

With Cassell moving over to the high school, Green-ville is still left with two vacancies. Fries expects to name a principal for Wood-land Heights and a director for the Career Tech Center by mid-June or at the be-ginning of July.

Darke County Sheriff’s Estate SalesFor more information call 937-547-4603 or go to www.darkecountysheriff.org

General InformationThe Sheriff is issued Orders of Sales from the Clerk of Courts Office. Sales are advertised in The Early Bird once every week for three consecutive weeks. The Sheriff’s Office does not mail or give away a list of properties or information about purchasing foreclosed property. The properties are not available for tour or inspection as the Sheriff’s Office does not have keys to any properties. Prior to the sale, most properties are

appraised from the outside only. The property is sold “as is”, caveat emptor (let the buyer beware). The Sher-iff’s office does not have information on liens or taxes.Real estate tax information can be found at the follow-ing web site: darkepropertymax.governmax.com real estate appraisal database. All sales are held in the meeting room of the County Commissioners Building, 520 South Broadway, Greenville. All sales begin promptly at 10:00 a.m.

Bidding informationBidding starts at two-thirds of the appraised value. Successful bidders must deposit 15% of the purchase price at the time of the sale. Personal check (proper ID, local check signed in our presence), cashier’s check or cash is accepted. The buyer will be required to sign a disclaimer that relieves the Sheriff and appraising agents of liabilities of hazards, or past due bills, as it it the responsibility of the buyer to look into these

matters before the sale date. The unpaid balance of the purchase price must be paid at the confirmation of the sale, which is approximately 30 days after the date of sale.

More InformationYou may contact Abby Wilson at (937) 547-4603 if you require further information. A listing of properties can be viewed at darkecountysheriff.org.

GREENVILLE – Gar-deners and other lovers of fresh produce are of-ten interested in extend-ing the season’s bounty by learning more about home-preserving fruits and vegetables. Now they can, by attending a free “Food Preservation Work-shop,” presented by Ohio State University Exten-sion, Darke County, at 603 Wagner Ave., Greenville.

There will be three ses-sions to the workshop:

June 3 – Pressure Can-ning

June 10 – Freezing Fruits and Vegetables

June 17 – Jams, Jellies and Preserves

Each session is from 10-11 a.m. All sessions are free. Class size is limited to 20.

The workshop focuses

on the basics of home can-ning and preservation and is appropriate for people with all levels of experi-ence.

They emphasize the sci-ence behind preservation. They want everyone who cans or freezes fresh fruits and vegetables to under-stand why certain proce-dures must be followed precisely to ensure a high quality, safe product that they and their family can enjoy.

All pressure canner gauges except weighted gauges should be tested for accuracy each year. Can-ner gauge testing is avail-able for $5.

To reserve a spot in the class, contact OSU Exten-sion, Darke County, at 548-5215 or email Diane Barga at [email protected].

VERSAILLES – Dance, work out, and raise mon-ey for a great cause! The YMCA of Darke County, Versailles Branch, will be hosting a Zumbathon Charity Event on May 30, from 10–11:30 a.m. Res-ervations are required and a $10 minimum donation will benefit the Y’s Annual Campaign.

This event will be 90 minutes of high-energy fun, featuring raffles, priz-es, and eight incredible instructors. All ages are welcome, and the event is open to the public.

The goal of the Y’s an-nual campaign is to raise support for all community members to have access to Y programs that build healthy spirit, mind and

body for all through youth development, healthy liv-ing and social responsibil-ity.

“There’s no place quite like the Y,” said Sam Casa-lano, Chief Executive Offi-cer of the YMCA of Darke County. “We are a vital part of Darke County – a welcoming place to learn new skills, connect with others and access support in times of need. It’s both humbling and inspiring to see how the lives of so many friends and neighbors are transformed through the Y’s programs.”

To register for the Zum-bathon, stop in either YMCA of Darke County Branch or call 526-4488 in Versailles or 548-3777 in Greenville.

Make a healthy splash: Share the fun, not the germsDARKE COUNTY – The

Darke County Health De-partment is announcing Healthy and Safe Swim-ming Week. The goal of this Week is to maximize the health benefits of swim-ming by promoting healthy and safe swimming. Just 2.5 hours of water-based (or other forms of) physi-cal activity per week has health benefits across a

lifetime. We each play a role in preventing illness-es, caused by germs in the water we share and swim in, and injuries.

A few simple and effec-tive prevention steps we can all take include:

Make sure everyone knows how to swim- For-mal swimming lessons can protect your children from drowning. However, even

when children have had formal swimming lessons, constant, careful supervi-sion when children are in the water, and barriers, such as pool fencing to pre-vent unsupervised access, are still important.

Use life jackets appro-priately- Potentially, half of all boating deaths might be prevented with the use of life jackets. This is im-portant regardless of the distance to be traveled, the size of the boat, or the swimming ability of the boaters.

Provide continuous, at-tentive supervision close to swimmers- Designate a responsible adult to watch young children while in the bath and all children swimming or playing in or around water. Because drowning occurs quickly and quietly, adults should

not be involved in any oth-er distracting activity while supervising children, even if lifeguards are present.

Prevent access to water when pool is not in use- In-stall and maintain barriers. Use locks/alarms for win-dows and doors.

Know CPR- In the time it takes for paramedics to ar-rive, your CPR skills could save someone’s life. CPR classes are offered by the American Red Cross (www.redcross.org), Greenville Township EMS (www.townshipofgreenville.org) and Spirit Medical Trans-port (937-548-2800).

Kindergarten classes visit hospital

Art at the Mill looks at Water Effects

GREENVILLE – Bridg-es to College is offering renewable scholarships of up to $750 each to eligible Greenville and Ansonia High School graduates.

“These need-based scholarships will help make college a reality for several students,” said Anne McKinney, execu-tive director of Bridges to College. “The scholarships are up to $750 each and renewable for up to four years.”

Students who graduated from GHS or AHS within the last five years are eli-gible for the scholarships. This will be the ninth year that Bridges to College has offered scholarships to

area high school students.“I encourage both in-

coming and existing col-lege students to apply,” McKinney said. The dead-line for the scholarships is June 1. These scholarships are unique in that they are renewable for up to four years. This means that if students do well, Bridges to College will continue to support them.

Scholarship recipients are required to complete 15 hours of community ser-vice for a nonprofit organi-zation in Darke County.

“This is a way that schol-arship recipients can give back to the community that is helping them go to college,” McKinney said.

GREENVILLE – Dur-ing hospital week, 110 Versailles kindergarten students visited Wayne HealthCare. As the only hospital in Darke County, many of the students were born in this hospital, which made the visit special.

The students were greeted in the hospital lob-by by employee tour guides who escorted them to each department. The students visited the surgery center, cardiopulmonary, x-ray laboratory, pharmacy and emergency departments.

While in each depart-

ment, students learned about what happens if they are a patient and the pro-cess for specific test and procedures. The students had a lot of questions and were very eager to partici-pate in the department ac-tivities.

“We all enjoyed the trip to the hospital. It was nice for the students to see so many departments and see firsthand what the rooms look like and hear about what happens in each part of the hospital,” said Ms. Billenstein, a teacher at the school.

GREENVILLE – In an exhibit entitled “Water Ef-fects,” historic Bear’s Mill will host a display of pho-tographs by Maury Wyck-off featuring water along with driftwood sculptures created by Blair Brubaker from May 28 through July 12 in the newly-named Clark Gallery. A reception for the artists will take place on May 29 from 6 to 9 p.m.; the artists will speak briefly about their work, methods, and inspiration at 7 p.m. This reception of-fering appetizers, wine and punch is free and open to the public.

“Bear’s Mill represents not only our community’s cultural heritage through its historical importance, but with its verdant wood-ed setting on the scenic Greenville Creek, also our natural heritage of environ-mental significance. These fantastic photographs of water in its various forms and the evocative forms crafted from reclaimed driftwood not only rein-force the spirit of the mill, but will also please and in-spire those who view this excellent work,” said Marti Goetz, Executive Director of Friends of Bear’s Mill.

A trained architect, Maury Wyckoff’s day job is Chief Building Officer for Montgomery County; how-ever, the Rockville, Mary-land native turns an artist’s eye to capturing on camera the visual rhythms and nu-ances he encounters in his work life, as evidenced by his ability to visually repro-duce water, wind and sky. He has been taking pictures for decades, but has found that his ability to now print digitally has increased the

quality of his photographs. Water has been a recurring theme throughout his life; Wyckoff served as one of those working as a flood plain administrator fol-lowing Hurricane Katrina where he marveled at the majesty amid the tragedy revealed by the effects of light on the water.

Troy resident Blair Brubaker has gathered stones and pieces of wood for decades; his apprecia-tion for the work of wind and waves is reflected in his artwork. The Troy resi-dent sands, grinds, and “cleans up” the driftwood or other pieces of wood he finds in natural settings, inserts a stone or mineral, and then mounts it on a base, keeping the decora-tive piece as natural as pos-sible. Brubaker says that the question of whether his work is that of an artist or a scavenger is open for de-bate, but that he believes you can seldom improve upon what nature creates. He was a featured subject on PBS’s The American Woodshop several years ago.

“Art at the Mill” exhib-its are on view at the Clark Gallery during regular Mill store hours, 11 a.m. till 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays, and 1-5 p.m. Sundays. Historic Bear’s Mill is owned and oper-ated by Friends of Bear’s Mill, a non-profit organi-zation, and is located at 6450 Arcanum-Bear’s Mill Road about 5 miles east of Greenville. For more infor-mation, contact Bear’s Mill at 548-5112 or www.bears-mill.com.

She noted the scholarships are funded through the generous contributions of individuals and business-es.

Guidelines and ap-plications are available in the guidance offices at

[email protected] or call her at 423-2442 to request the guide-lines and an application.

Hollansburg area kids will be treated to lunch again this summer. This is the fifth year for the Hollansburg Summer Lunch Program.

Hollansburg Summer Lunch

American Sign Language classes 0ffered

Linda Crawford (left) is shown with Librarian Kaley Breaden.

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Public Library is proud to host a free course in American Sign Language taught by interpreter Linda Crawford. The first class is June 10, 6-7:30 p.m. Classes continue for eight Wednesdays ending on July 29. To register, call the library at 548-3915 or

call Linda directly at 423-0402.

The only cost will be $15 for a book and other mate-rials a participant will most likely wish to have. Linda will teach basic conversa-tion and provide an under-standing of the history and culture of the deaf commu-nity.

Linda has been an in-terpreter for 30 years. She traveled with a missionary group over the US and Be-lize for seven years using music and dance to spread the gospel and to start deaf schools. The group consist-ed of both deaf and hear-ing. Linda is a singer who did the singing and voicing for the dramas.

Originally from Roch-ester NY, she met her hus-

band - who is from Green-ville - on her last tour. They became foster parents and have a son and grandchil-dren.

Linda interprets for EUM Church, Tri Village, Frank-lin Monroe, Arcanum, and Greenville schools. She is also associated with Com-munity Services for the Deaf in Dayton and is EIPA certified. Don’t miss this great opportunity. HOLLANSBURG –

The Hollansburg Summer Lunch Program has started planning for its fifth year. This year they will again serve two hot meals a week to the people in Hollans-burg and the surrounding area beginning June 1. The average attendance for each meal last year was 23. This program is supported by the Beech Grove Church of the Brethren, Cedar Grove Church of the Brethren and several families in the Hol-lansburg area.

Forty-five percent of Ohio children were eligible for free or reduced-priced lunches this past school year. Ohio is in the top ten states with high “food in-security” households. The Hollansburg program is helping a small percentage of these children right here in our neighborhoods. For eleven weeks, the children will enjoy a hot meal on Mondays and Wednesdays served at the Hollansburg Community Center. In ad-dition to the meals, the New Madison Library is provid-ing an educational program every Wednesday. The Li-brary team not only shares stories with the children, but also brings books for children to check out and return the following week. It also gives the children something to look forward to and a time to socialize with their peers.

Tracy and Heather Brown of Hollansburg have been part of the Lunch Pro-gram from the beginning. They live in Hollansburg and have a concern for the children in the area. They are planning a 5 Day Club with the Darke County Child Evangelism Fellowship July 20-24. This will be the fifth year for the 5 Day Club.

In addition to private donations, the Hollansburg Summer Lunch Program has received food items and cash from the follow-ing businesses and organi-zations: the New Madison Kiwanis, Downing Fruit Farm, Friends of the New Madison Library, teachers and students at Tri-Village school and the Hollansburg American Legion Auxil-iary. “We are committed to use every dollar and food item that comes in,” said the Browns, “We don’t want money sitting in the bank. We want food on the plates.” For more in-formation, contact Heather Brown at 997-2209 or Tony Price at 997-3675.
