2014 Garst Gathering ties in with second ‘Treaty of Greenville’ bi-centennial
Prosecuting Attorney R. Kelly Ormsby questions Lauren K. Jones at the crib were her child died of asphyxiation. Watching the testimony is her husband, Scott Webber and his attorney, David A. Rohrer.
Judge to decide fate of father
BY CLINTON RANDALL WEBMASTER/ STAFF REPORTER GREENVILLE - The bench trial of Scott A. Webber, a 29-year-old Greenville resident, concluded April 10 and is now in the hands of Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein. Webber and his wife Lauren K. Jones, 28, were charged after the death of their 16-monthold daughter. The couple was indicted on one count each of Endangering Children, a felony of the third degree; and Involuntary Manslaughter, a first degree felony. An investigation by the Darke County Sheriff’s and Coroner’s Office revealed the child died from asphyxiation. It was discovered the crib had numerous items covering and surrounding the child which made the sleeping environment dangerous for a young child. Toxicology reports showed the baby had levels of Benadryl
(diphenhydramine) in her system. Webber and Jones later admitted to giving their daughter doses of the adult sleepaid ZzzQuil for over a two week period prior to her death. According to Darke County Prosecuting Attorney Kelly Ormsby, “The state believes the sleeping conditions were the main factor in causing the death, but also having the medicine in her system definitely contributed to the child being sedated enough to not be able to free herself from the items she was entangled in. The state called several medical experts to testify during the trial, including Darke County Coroner Dr. Tim Kathman, and the child’s pediatrician, Dr. Lynn Hawley of Family Health in Greenville. “It was the worst sleeping conditions I have ever seen while investigating a child death,” said medical examiner Joe
Van Vickle of the Darke County Coroner’s Office during the trial. “We don’t argue the fact that the sleeping conditions were poor,” stated Webber’s defense attorney David A. Rohrer. “We just want justice. My client isn’t anymore guilty than the mother in this case.” Jones stated during the trial she had told Webber she gave the baby a dose of ZzzQuil even when she hadn’t on a couple occasions. “I knew it wasn’t right giving her that stuff, but I didn’t want to fight with my husband,” Jones said. Jones was offered a plea agreement in which she entered a guilty plea to the Endangering Children charge. The state dismissed the Involuntary Manslaughter charge with the agreement that Jones would testify against Webber if the case went to trial. Rohrer told The Early Bird his client was never
offered a plea bargain to dismiss the manslaughter charge. That is the main reason the case went to trial. “I don’t think the state can prove Involuntary Manslaughter,” Rohrer said. “We will take a child endangering conviction by the judge, but I will fight to get my client the same sentence as Jones.” Jones was sentenced Friday afternoon. Though the state has agreed to only recommend a 90 days jail sentence, Judge Hein will have the final say. She faces a maximum of 36 months. Judge Hein will announce a verdict in the Webber case sometime next week, according to court staff. If convicted on both counts, Webber faces up to 14 years in prison and a $30,000 fine. Children Services has placed the couple’s three-year-old son in the custody of a family member.
Chamber’s efforts to combat drugs in the workplace recognized GREENVILLE – The Ohio Chamber’s Chamber Action Alliance (CAA) awarded the Darke County Chamber of Commerce the 2014 Best Advocacy Campaign Award for its extraordinary efforts and commitment to an advocacy campaign centered around a single issue, drugs in the workplace. The CAA is the statewide grassroots advocacy coalition of Ohio chambers of commerce coordinated by the Ohio Chamber. The CAA determines state-wide policy issues facing the business community, educates and empowers pro-businesses advocates to take action, and champions a business-friendly climate throughout the state of Ohio. Every year the CAA selects one local chamber that has done outstanding work on a single issue to recognize its hard
work and service to the local and statewide communities. “The Darke County Chamber under the leadership of President Sharon Deschambeau has undertaken an enormous and important issue of combating drugs in the workplace,” said Katie Brown, Grassroots Communications Manager for the Ohio Chamber. “The chamber has investigated this issue from top to bottom in Darke County and continues to take the lead on the issue by bringing stakeholders together, asking questions, and working at the state and local level to address the issue. The chamber is a true asset to its community and the CAA is lucky to have it as an active member.” Senate President Keith Faber, Senator Bill Beagle, Representatives

BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR GREENVILLE – “We try to offer something for everyone,” said Jenny Clark, chairperson for the Garst Museum’s 4th offering of The Gathering at Garst. “History, art, food, entertainment… for two days.” Clark spoke to Kiwanis of Greenville members and guests April 2. “The Gathering” is scheduled for July 26 and 27. The Theme for 2014 is “Native American Peace and Friendship Gathering.” It will feature the Living History Encampment in partnership with Darke County Parks. It will also welcome a gathering of Indian tribes from the United States and Canada to reflect on the signing of the second Treaty of Greenville, which took place July 22, 1814. “The summit will already be in progress,” Clark said, “as it will have started before our event. It just happened to work out that way.” Something new has been added to the archeology exhibit hosted by members of the Archeology Society of Ohio… a children’s activity area will be installed to allow children to dig for artifacts.

Community leaders continue discussion of drug problem BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR GREENVILLE – Darke County’s business leaders are continually learning more about the drug problem in Darke County thanks to a series of meetings being held by the Darke County Chamber of Commerce. On April 4, a meeting addressed the definition of addiction, how the court handles drug-related issues and prevention in local schools. Speakers for the day were Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein, Darke County Education Service Center Superintendent Mike Gray, Chief Deputy Mark Whittaker of the Darke County Sheriff’s office and Dr. Jacqueline Allen, executive director of Darke County Recovery Services. The goal of these meetings and subcommittees is to develop a comprehensive plan to deal with the problem. Chief Deputy Whittaker has witnessed his share of drug users come through the Darke County jail and pointed out the addictions are real, “Ask-

Nearly all the vendors from the year before are returning. Participation is limited to 100 vendors. Entertainment will consist of musicians, storytellers and roaming historical impersonators. The Cavern Beat, a Beatles tribute band, is back by popular demand. “The goal of ‘The Gathering’ is to remember the defining events and people who shaped our county and its history,” Clark said. She told Kiwanians the event had over 11,000 visitors in 2013. “The community has embraced the Gathering with enthusiasm,” she noted in prepared information, “and we are optimistic it will only continue to grow at an amazing pace.” Also at the event was Sponsorship Chairperson Tasha Anderson. “The Gathering” welcomes any support it may receive from the community. Garst Museum is owned by the Darke County Historical Society and receives “zero” funding from local, state or federal agencies.

ing a heroin addict to quit is like asking you to quit breathing for 15 minutes. You can’t do that because your body won’t let you do it.” Dr. Allen agreed and gave the definition of addiction as a dependence on a substance and a need for the substance. Addicts, whatever the addiction may be, understand if they stop taking the drug, alcohol, tobacco, etc. there will be adverse affects. Allen shared the five stages of Prochaska’s Stages of Change: precontemplation – no intention of taking action in the foreseeable future; contemplation – aware a problem exists and seriously thinking about overcoming it; preparation – combines intention and behavioral criteria and initiation of baby steps; action – modification of behavior with short-term changes in place and planning for long-term changes; and maintenance – builds on

about gardening. Iiames is currently the groundskeeper for the Kathryn Lange Estate near Ludlow Falls. His love of gardening goes back to childhood when he worked with his grandfather at his home. He graduated in 1976 from the Montgomery County Joint Vocational School and came in third in the state of Ohio in his field. He then worked in three well known flower shops in the area - Patterson’s in West Milton, Tipp Florist, and Northmont Florist. He began helping Kathryn Lange with her greenhouse at her estate. When she passed away she bequeathed the estate to Transfiguration Catholic Church in West Milton where both she and Iiames were members. It was natural for him to be asked to take care of the grounds fulltime. Kathryn had laid out

Jones held on 4 counts of Trafficking BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR GREENVILLE – Ronnie L. Jones was indicted April 7 on four felony counts of Trafficking in Heroin, each an F4 offense carrying up to 18 months in prison and a $5,000 fine. Jones could be facing six years and $20,000 in fines. Darke County Common Pleas Judge Jonathan Hein entered a Not Guilty plea on his behalf and appointed Randall Breaden as his defense attorney. The incidents occurred on Feb. 20, Feb. 21, March 4 and March 5. Darke County Prosecutor R. Kelly Ormsby said the defendant was already under supervision for a Breaking and Entering charge and rec-
ommended the bond set at $25,000. He noted Jones was a graduate of the MonDay program. Jones asked for OR (own recognizance), telling the court he was halfway through recovery and he was getting ready to take his GED classes; he’d recently graduated from a “Taking Charge of Your Life” class. “I’ve really really really been trying,” he said, “and I’ve never tried to run.” Hein told the defendant he could be facing sentencing for violation of his probation in addition to the current charges. He ordered Jones retained on $20,000 bond. Jones’ next appearance will be May 12 for a status conference.

continued from page 1 the success found in the action phase and works to prevent relapse. An addict cannot be helped until they are at least in the contemplation stage. According to Allen, a person in the maintenance stage does not equal total success. An addict can go up and down the five stages at anytime. Judge Hein shared how new laws and regulations have caused the court to look at addicts in a different way. The highest number of offenders sent to prison by Hein’s court was 97. Since 2007, that number has dropped to 44. “Now you’re seeing a whole lot more people on the streets in your neighbor-
hood and you’re hearing about them that you wouldn’t have seen in the past.” On the financial end, its 45 less persons a year, which saves $25,000 per individual, per year. “We saved $1.1 million by not sending people to prison,” Hein said. Across the country the philosophy being taught is rehabilitation because Ohio is not the only place where prisons are overflowing. “Violent people are supposed to go to prison,” Hein said. “Felony fours and fives, normal non-violent crimes, shouldn’t ever see the inside of a prison because there was never violence to a person.” The trick is determining when it is a violent crime. Because of the new
focus and fewer people being sent to prison, the state gives more for local resources to help with rehabilitation and accountability. Darke County receives $10,000 a month to assist in this area. With that money the probation department was able to hire a field officer. This officer has arresting powers and frequently checks up on probationers. Half of the funds are given to Darke County Recovery and Darke County Mental Health to improve substance abuse treatment, intervention and mental health intervention. Superintendent Gray addressed the issue of placing a School Resource Officer in each of the schools. Overall, the county’s superintendents

are in favor of having an officer in uniform at their school. Gray reiterated the cost per inmate compared to the cost per pupil, $5,800. “We need to get to them early,” he said. Whittaker agreed, “As a community, we are not doing as good as we could on prevention by starting early.” There has been a lot of discussion about putting the resource officers in the schools between the county and City of Greenville, but the biggest deterrent has been cost. Darke County’s law enforcement believes it is a viable program for several reasons, including an additional layer of safety and an opportunity to steer kids in a better direction. Whittaker envisions the officer in three roles – law enforcement officer, educator and counselor. Unlike the DARE program, if the schools welcome a resource officer that individual will be armed. The officer would also go through additional training to be eligible to fill that position. As an educator his/her role would be to

educate students on substance abuse, personal and school safety issues, bullying prevention, internet and social media safety and citizenship issues. The officer would also be responsible for educating the faculty and staff on crime prevention, emergency response and current trends. As a counselor the officer would serve a sounding board, establish rapport, identify and clarify problem situations and work
on intervention. While the best option is one officer per school, Whittaker believes three resource officers could cover the county schools and Greenville Police Department could handle Greenville City Schools. The law enforcement agencies are looking into grant funding through the Ohio Attorney General’s office, but once that funding has ended additional revenue would be needed.

County jail. Visit bluebagmedia.com and search Ronnie L. Jones. On April 2 police were dispatched to 632 Washington Ave. regarding a harassment call. The complainant, Julie Sprowl, told police Tom Harsh had been calling her repeatedly after telling him to stop. Sprowl was found to have a warrant for failing to appear on a traffic offense. She was arrested and transported to Mercer County jail. Harsh was warned for trespass and harassment. On April 2 police arrested Shawn Bowles at a known address, 110 Markwith Ave., on a warrant for failure to serve 89 days in jail on an assault. He was transported to Darke County jail. CHILD ENDANGERING On April 3 police were advised by two citizens of a small child wearing only underwear, approximately two years old, playing near the street in the 400 block of W. Fourth Street. The officer observed the child near the street with no supervision. It was about 50 degrees and raining. The child’s legs and feet were covered with mud. The child indicated his parents lived at 432 W. Fourth St. The report indicates police knocked on the door about 15 minutes before it was answered by Joshua Joyner who stated he did not know the child was outside. Joyner told police he was playing video games; but that he was supposed to be watching the child for his mother who sleeps during the day because she works nights. Joyner had been warned for child endangering Aug. 11, 2013, so he was cited for child endangering. The child was released to his mother. ROBBERY On April 4 police were dispatched to the area of Grant and East Fourth Streets regarding a 911 call DCSO (Darke County Sheriff’s Office) had received. DCSO advised they heard conversation then a demand for money followed by a possible struggle; then the call was disconnected. The victim, Gabriel Batten, said a group of subjects were running in the area.
The officer observed two males jumping a fence; the officer contacted another officer and advised the males were running in his direction. One suspect, Dustin Barton, was tackled and detained after being told to stop by the police officer. Barton told police he and two other suspects had observed Batten touch a white truck while he was walking. Izaiah Parkman allegedly advised Batten he needed to give Parkman money to pay to have the truck cleaned. Batten continued to walk but when he heard the other suspects come up behind him he dialed 911. Parkman allegedly grabbed Batten’s shirt, threw him on the ground and began kicking and hitting him in the face. The other suspect, Devin Meade, also hit Batten. Parkman allegedly took Batten’s phone and wallet. The phone was later retrieved where it had been thrown but the wallet was still missing. Barton was arrested for complicity to robbery and resisting arrest, and transported to DCSO jail. Charges are pending on Parkman and Meade who have not yet been located. STOPPED SCHOOL BUS On April 2 police were dispatched to 122 W. Main St. regarding a vehicle that ran a school bus’ stop sign while it was activated. The bus was facing north on N. Broadway near Meeker Street. The driver noticed a silver vehicle approaching the area and it appeared not to be slowing down. Children were about to cross the street when the driver honked his horn to stop them. By that time the vehicle had passed through his stop indicator without slowing down. Another school bus was directly behind the first at the time and the driver verified the incident. The license number showed the vehicle was owned by Brandon Sonner who told police he’d sold the vehicle to Anthony Marcum. Marcum acknowledged he ran the stop sign, explaining a friend in the vehicle had gotten into an argument on the phone and yelled, startling him. Marcum was issued a ci-
tation.
DECEASED On April 5 police were dispatched to 884 E. Russ Road, Apt. 5, regarding Mary Wheeler not answering her door. She was found to be deceased. The Darke County Coroner’s Office determined Wheeler’s death was due to natural causes. JUVENILE On March 25 police were dispatched to Greenville Junior High regarding a student found with a knife. A student complained another student had threatened to stab him and showed him the knife. The other student admitted to having the knife but denied making the threat. The juvenile was already on probation so he was taken into custody and transported to West Central on a probation violation. The juvenile was charged with aggravated menacing. On April 1 police were dispatched to the area of Central Avenue and School Street regarding a large group of juveniles watching two females in a physical fight. A GJHS administrator had arrived, broken up the fight and was speaking with one of the girls. Four students were determined to be involved; two fighting and two inciting them. Two juveniles were cited for Disorderly Conduct. The other two were warned regarding Inciting to Violence. All four were advised to tell the others if they have video of the incident they should immediately delete it. If video appears on the Internet police will investigate it further.

Turn Your Retirement “Vision” into Reality
Retirement can be an exciting, active time of your life. But if you’re going to get the full benefits from your retirement years — which could last two, or even three, decades — you’ll need to have a vision for what you want to do. And to transform this vision into reality, you’ll need to take a “holistic” approach — one that involves a financial strategy, clear communications with family members and an awareness of the challenges that may stand in your way. To articulate and achieve your vision, ask yourself a series of questions, such as the following: What do I want to do? When you retire, do you plan on traveling around the world? Purchasing a vacation home? Pursuing your hobbies? Or maybe you’re even thinking of opening a small business. Clearly, you have many options — and you’ll need to be aware that some choices are going to be more costly than others. If you can identify how you want to spend your retirement years and then put a “price tag” on your goal — or at least come up with a pretty good estimate of how much money you’ll need each year — you can then create an appropriate investment strategy. Such a strategy will include both your need for growth — during your pre-retirement and retirement years — and your need for income, especially during your retirement years. Your investment strategy will also need to be based on your risk tolerance, family situation and time horizon — how many years you have until your retirement. What “roadblocks” might I encounter? As you work to achieve your retirement vision, you may well encounter some “roadblocks” along the way. One signifi-
cant roadblock is the amount of health care expenses you might face during retirement. Many people think Medicare will cover everything, but that’s not the case — in fact, you could easily spend a few thousand dollars each year, out of pocket, for health care costs. And since these costs typically rise as you move further into retirement, you’ll need a reasonable portion of your assets to be allocated to investments with the potential for rising income. Even beyond normal health care costs, though, you’ll need to be aware that you could eventually need some type of long-term care, such as a stay in a nursing home or assistance from a home health aide. These costs can be enormous; to cope with them, you need to prepare well ahead of time, so you may want to consult with your financial advisor for possible solutions. How can I protect my family? Your retirement vision can’t just involve yourself, or even just yourself and your spouse. To fully enjoy your retirement years, you’ll want to know that you are helping to protect your grown children from financial and emotional burdens that could fall on them should you become incapacitated in some way. Among the steps you might consider taking is establishing a durable power of attorney, which allows you to appoint an agent to manage your financial affairs, make health care decisions or conduct other business for you during your incapacitation. Consult with your legal advisor about creating a durable power of attorney. You will find that having your retirement vision come to fruition can be a great feeling. So, do whatever it takes to make it happen.

ON YOUR MIND
Readers Write Distinction Between Man and Animal Dear Editor, “Legalize same sex marriage” is the present cry. The moral question is ignored. Proponents and exponents alike quote the Bible. Do the functions of the body have a relationship to our soul? It seems to me that the relationship of the actions of the material part of man to the immaterial part defines morals. That agrees, in my opinion, with modern Psychology. Webster’s American Dictionary of 1828 defines Psychology as “A discourse or treatise on the human soul or the doctrine of the nature and properties of the soul.” That is expanded in the 1993 American Heritage Dictionary. [Psychology is] 4. “The branch of metaphysics that studies the soul, the mind and the relationship of the soul to the functions of the body.” Secondary education, by law, employs a team of psychologists in testing various student actions. School psychologists do not counsel students but only test them. Trained educators counsel students. That makes perfect sense as psychology deals with the relationship of the soul to the functions and actions of the body. In the biology class students are taught by implication to ignore the soul. To admit the existence of the soul smacks of religion and that is not politically correct. Even if we dare not say there is a breakdown in morals in our culture we all know there is a breakdown. There are no moral standards being depicted by society but we blame parents. On the other hand Hebrews 12:9 states, “Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?” That is telling us that while it is natural for children to be subject to parents it should also be natural for you to be subject to God. Contributing to our cultural decline is the insistence in how close we physically resemble animals when the real distinction lies in the radical difference in the soul of man and animals. America’s only hope is facing the fact that man is composed of body and soul. Yours praying and teaching the real distinction between man and animals. Charles J. Arnett, Union -----------------------The Toxic Truth Dear Editor: “TOXIC TRUTH,” a Town Hall Meeting, presented by the Western Ohio Fracking Awareness Coalition (WOFAC) comes to Memorial Hall in Greenville Tuesday, April 15 from 7 to 9 p.m. And it’s still a big fracking deal. Since our previous Town Hall event last October, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR)- the state agency that is supposed to control hydraulic fracturing for oil and gas and its related waste - has decided to cap several old gas wells near Osgood. Why? ODNR will not comment. However, did you know that any oil/gas well in Ohio can be turned into an injection well accepting millions of gallons of toxic waste from the eastern production wells? Did you know this waste contains quantities of undisclosed highly toxic chemicals including benzene, xylene, cadmium, mercury, arsenic and radioactive elements? Discover more truths
at the TOXIC TRUTH Town Hall event presented by three respected speakers. Donner Carver, a nurse for thirty years, comes from Morrow County, Ohio which has a multitude of fracking waste water injection wells, some of them converted from old gas wells, where residents are exposed to tanker truck traffic tearing up the fracking brine encrusted roads and noxious fumes emanating from venting pressure at the injection well sites. Did you know that radioactivity in oil and gas wastewaters has been found to exceed the U.S. EPA safe drinking limits by up to 3,600 times the federal industrial discharge limits set by the Nuclear Regulatory Agency more than 300 times? Dr. Uri Gorby, a professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York specializes in uranium science and emerging threats to freshwater resources. He has a doctorate in microbiology and worked 15 years with the United States Department of Energy. Did you know that many existing Class II injection wells are old production wells that do not even meet the current inadequate state standards for injection? The third speaker, Joe Curry, a professional well driller registered in Michigan, is a certified member of the National Groundwater Association and the nationally accredited Water Systems Council. TOXIC TRUTH is free and open to the public, everyone is welcome, and all questions will be heard and answered. Find out more information at www.WOFAC. org Jane Staley, Arcanum -----------------------Protecting a Valuable Resource Dear Editor, Darke County has been blessed with water in an unlimited supply. What would happen to our farming industry if that water were no longer available? What would the county’s residents do if they could no longer go to their faucets to get a drink of water or take a shower? These questions could become a reality if fracking and/ or injection wells come to our area. The fracking process uses large quantities of water, to the tune of two to five million gallons for each frack. Consider the fact that wells can be fracked multiple times means that a huge demand would be placed on our aquifer. The waste water coming out of a fracked well contains many harmful chemicals. At the present time the gas and oil companies have not come up with a way to clean the water for human consumption. Though some companies reuse the water for another frack, billions of gallons of water are lost to the water table annually, not only in Ohio, but all over the United States. The gas and oil companies’ solution to wastewater is to store it underground in an injection well. They rely on pipe, cement, and a cap
at the top of the well to keep the contaminants underground. State and federal records reveal that during 2007-2010, one out of six injection wells inspected failed mechanical integrity testing. Earthquakes are also related to fracking and injection wells. Where does the wastewater go if the rock containing it is cracked in an earthquake? How can cracked cement and pipe keep the contaminants out of our drinking water? There are many questions and concerns in relation to fracking and injection wells. The Western Ohio Fracking Awareness Coalition has planned a town meeting on April 15, 7 p.m., at Memorial Hall, Greenville, to address some of these concerns. It is free and open to the public. Help protect our most valuable resource. JoAnn Hawkey, Greenville -----------------------Volunteers Thanked To the Editor: The American Red Cross Darke County Chapter is celebrating its volunteers and the work they do in the community during National Volunteer Week, April 6 - 12. Each year, our volunteers provided food, shelter, comfort and hope to local families who faced home fires and other disaster situations, in fact with this year’s winter weather, they are likely to respond to twice as many fires as last year. Volunteers trained people in lifesaving skills and assisted military members, veterans and their families in emergency communications. Volunteers reach out to our Veterans in assisted living facilities with monthly visits. I want to invite the public to sign up to volunteer and be a part of our lifesaving work. We’re looking for diverse volunteers of all ages and skill levels. Go to www.redcross.org/oh/ greenville to learn more about volunteering with us and how to submit a volunteer application. Check out our Facebook page to see pictures and activities of our volunteers now and from the past, along with activities celebrating Volunteer Week. If you want to volunteer to help when a disaster strikes our community, download the Team Red Cross app. You’ll receive notifications when Red Cross volunteers are needed in the area. The app can be found in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store by searching for American Red Cross or by going to redcross. org/mobileapps. By following a few steps and taking some online classes, you can be ready to respond locally, when needed to provide Mass Care services in shelters. I want to extend my sincerest thanks to the one-hundred and twenty-six local Red Cross volunteers who help us fulfill our mission 365 days a year, 24 hours a day here in Darke County. Sincerely, Lynne M Gump Executive Director Darke County Chapter
Get Ready for Exaggeration Day Ryan’s World by Ryan Berry Managing Editor If you have looked at a calendar lately you might have noticed there are a gazillion special days celebrated world-wide. You know the days I’m talking about, National Donut Day, National Pizza Day, Walk Like an Egyptian Day, and not to be outdone, Walk Like a Zombie Day. Then there’s the favorite of every single person in the universe, Talk Like a Pirate Day. If they are really special they get an entire week or month devoted. I want to make it a gazillion and one – I want an Exaggeration Week. We would call it a week, but would only celebrate it for one day because the name would be an exaggeration of the special day. (See how this works.) Some might want to call it Over Exaggeration Day, but exaggerating exaggeration is a little too much exaggeration for my taste. Besides, using the phrase “over exaggerating” is one of my pet peeves and I tend to turn red in the face and throw a temper tantrum every single time I hear that term. (That is not an over exaggeration and merely an exaggeration. I usually just roll my eyes.) There is no point in ever saying something is an “over exaggeration” because you can’t “over exaggerate;” all you are doing is exaggerating. “I’ve always said ‘over exaggeration.’ It’s the correct
GREENVILLE – The Neave Township Trustees are holding their yearly cemetery spring cleanup for the cemeteries in Neave Township, Darke County which includes Oak Grove, Pioneer, West Branch and East Zion. Families and loved ones are asked to remove all decorations and items on and around the gravesites as soon as possible so the grounds can properly be maintained. These items include, but are not limited to Shepherd’s hooks or similar type of, decorations/flowers not attached or sitting on monument. Due to the upcoming mowing season the trustees encourage cooperation of all those who are involved with and or visit loved ones in the cemeteries to pay particular attention to the rules listed. No trespassing after dark.

Valentine’s Day. As guys most often do we like to outdo other guys and try to find the biggest and best. “My teddy bear is bigger than your teddy bear.” We want our lady to know we care by giving her something that will eventually end up in a garage sale. We take her out to a nice dinner, sing Debbie Boone’s “You Light up My Life” on the way to the restaurant and then give her a card that expresses a lovely, almost makes you want to vomit sentiment. It’s all an exaggeration of how we really feel, which is: $5 for a card - are you kidding me? I wonder if they would let us order off the kids’ menu. Why do we have to listen to these sappy love songs? This better be worth it. But Valentine’s Day is only one day of exaggeration. I chose Feb. 29 as Exaggeration Day. I know it only comes once every four years, but when it does come it exaggerates a whole month. It changes the order of the calendar for two years. If you are born on that day you won’t become a teenager until you are 52 years old. It’s the best kind of exaggeration there is. It’s exaggeration without lying. “I’m 19 years old.” You look like you’re in your mid 70s. “Nope, I’m only 19.” The next Exaggeration Day will be Feb. 29, 2016. I know it seems like a lifetime until we get to celebrate, but this will give us time to plan the weeklong celebration. The party store should be able to have plates and napkins in stock by then.

way to say it. Ryan you’re an idiot,” you might say. If you prefer to be wrong I’m fine with that, but remember I am right approximately 233% of the time (that is not an exaggeration, unless you ask my wife, daughters, co-workers, friends, high school algebra teacher or the person who invented percentages). “But what about using ‘over’ or ‘overly’ as a prefix to other words,” you ask. (You sure are asking a lot of questions during this column.) I don’t have a problem with using phrases like ‘over’ used or ‘overly’ stupid. Over Exaggerate is definitely ‘over’ used and there are times when calling someone stupid isn’t sufficient and you need to exaggerate just how stupid they really area. Unfortunately, calling some people ‘overly stupid’ is not an exaggeration. When should we hold Exaggeration Week? Since this will be the most spectacular of all the special days, it has to be at a time of year when exaggeration is at its highest. I’ve painstakingly researched this for the past couple of months. (Not so much researched as thought about it. Did I say months? I meant minutes.) I’ve narrowed it down to a few times of the year. First is anytime during fishing season, which doesn’t really narrow anything down because people actually fish when it’s cold – on the ice. This is one of those times when you can use the term ‘overly stupid’ and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration. We could also choose

COLUMBUS—State Representative Richard N. Adams (R-Troy) has announced the Ohio House’s passage of House Bill 497, the state’s capital budget bill, which appropriates funding for local projects within the 80th House District. The Bradford Rail Museum located in Miami County will receive $275,000 for renovations that will include adding a children’s interactive learning center and resolving a moisture issue. The Bradford Railroad Museum will revitalize the downtown and attract tourism in Bradford. The Cardinal Center in Gettysburg will receive $75,000 to restore an unused school to offer
educational and athletic programs, accommodate community gatherings, and provide space for entrepreneurial activities. “These two projects in Bradford and Gettysburg represent the kind of state funding investments that will provide a good return. Both projects will be leverage with other funds and the work of community volunteers. Both projects have several components including economic revitalization, entrepreneurial activities and educational programs,” Representative Adams said. House Bill 497 passed with strong bipartisan support in the House and now awaits consideration by the Ohio Senate.
Dispennette formally charged with F1 Aggravated Burglary BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR GREENVILLE – Justin L. Dispennette was arraigned April 7 on one charge of Felony 1 Aggravated Burglary and one charge of Assault, a Miscellaneous 1 offense. His attorney, Stephanie Gunter, pleaded not guilty to both counts on his behalf. Darke County Common Pleas judge Jonathan Hein told the defendant he could face a maximum penalty of 11 years in prison plus a $20,000 fine for the aggravated burglary and six months in jail plus a $1,000 fine for the assault charge. Neither maximum is required by law. Darke County Prosecutor R. Kelly Ormsby told the court due to the severity of the charge, he wasn’t aware of any reason the current bond of $15,000 should not be continued. Gunter told the court her client had never had a felony charge before and if re-

leased, possibly with restrictions such as electronic monitoring, he would be able to stay with his mother. Hein ordered the bond continued. The event took place on March 6 when Dispennette allegedly entered the victim’s residence without permission and caused physical harm to the victim. He also allegedly damaged some items in the home. At the time of the offense, Dispennette had an active warrant for failure to appear on an assault charge. He had been cited for assault on an unrelated Dec. 3 incident. His next appearance will be May 8 for a status conference.

Blogging: A 21st Century Skill GREENVILLE – The Supply Chain Management students in Greenville High School’s Career Tech Center have been refining their 21st Century skills through the process of blogging. Blogging is a powerful tool for the classroom. It encourages creative writing, collaboration, increased proofreading, pride in their work and increased motivation for both reading and writing. Blogging is a process that allows people to collaborate from places all over the earth. Many businesses use the process daily to keep in touch with customers, suppliers and watch their own competition. The SCM students used the Blogging process to continue moving forward in the content for the program while perfecting their writing and virtual communication skills. Mrs. Buchy, Supply Chain Management Instructor, explains the front page of the SCM blog when she states, “This
blog is for educational purposes while learning about the various facets of SCM through current technological opportunities.” The students had to understand the topic, research the writing prompts provided and then write 350 words. After each post, students were asked to comment on two other students’ posts and move the topic discussion forward. The blog process required spelling and grammatical writing and encouraged the students to think through the topics discussed. Junior student, Jade Anthony explained, “The process enabled us to learn a skill that will be useful in college and in the workplace.” The students covered topics such as supply and demand, modes of transportation, and what is the supply chain web. “Although it was very writing intensive, I enjoyed to opportunity to collaborate with students in other classes”, said
Students in the Supply Chain Management class are learning the importance of having blogging skills.

Just Thought You’d Like to Know
DCHS heritage award GREENVILLE – This year’s recipient of the Darke County Historical Society’s Heritage Award is Nancy Stump. Nancy was presented the 2014 Heritage Award during the Darke County Historical Society’s Annual Membership Meeting on March 25, 2014. Nancy Stump has distinguished herself in helping to connect people to Darke County’s past and history in general. Research and genealogy is her strong suit. Along with her team in the Garst Museum’s Darke County Research Library, she assists individuals seeking information about family histories and so much more. Nancy is a member of the East of the River Shawnee Tribe Ruling Council, a representative of the Rabbit Clan, the largest clan of the tribe. Our “Bunny Rabbit” as she is known to her tribe friends, is truly an energizer bunny. Her skills at making wampum belts are recognized near and wide. She and Susan Gray have traveled for 15
years to Canada to all of the Reenactment of the Thames where Tecumseh was killed. Two years ago she created a belt for display in Canada, which was laid out in front of Prince Charles. It is 22 rows wide and 4 feet long. Nancy is presently working on the creation of 15 wampum belts to give out at the Second Treaty Commemoration scheduled for this summer, the week of The Gathering at Garst at the Darke County Parks Council House. Clay Johnson, Ph.D., Executive Director of the Garst Museum notes, “As Executive Director of the Darke County Historical Society and Garst Museum, I have a great respect for Nancy Stump’s depth of knowledge about the history of our area. Many times, I have gone to her for answers to questions that no one else can answer. She works and volunteers in the Darke County Research Center located here at the museum. She always seems to know where to find answers.”
Programs planned for Versailles Museum VERSAILLES – The Versailles Historical Society Museum’s season will conclude on April 27 when they will travel with another Versailles author as they welcome Bill Schutte to share his book “The Mountain Slayer; A Journey on the Appalachian Trail.” This inspiring story will tell about Bill’s amazing journey. Bill may also have a few books available to sign! The museum is located at 552 S. West St., Versailles. As a special treat, Bill is bringing along his longtime friend, Al Hetrick and they will share their journey walking across England as a bonus. The season is free, but donations as well as memberships are most appreciated and keep the museum open. They will serve light refreshments following event. Join them on April 28 for “Last Mondays.” The Versailles Museum
is excited about its newest activity held the last Monday of each month at 1 p.m. These gatherings are designed for our more “senior” friends who will enjoy various activities from picture identification, to Village Trivia, to the occasional guest speaker. This month they will reminisce about days in the military. As we approach another Memorial Day they are inviting Veterans to join them for a round table discussion led by Tom Mendenhall as they reflect on the life of the soldier and the family at home. Come and sit and share your story listen to others. The afternoon caps off with great desserts and coffee. If you have ideas for programs they want to hear from you! Watch The Early Bird or their Facebook page for additional details.
HAM & BEANS AT BRC
GREENVILLE – The wind blew and the temperatures dropped as the snow fell on Jan. 24 – and it was a perfect day to enjoy one of America’s favorite comfort foods – a ham and bean dinner, complete with corn bread and dessert. This delicious dinner was open to the public and served by the Activities Staff! If you missed this successful event, they plan on doing it again before the winter is. Shown in the photo above are some of the volunteers and staff, taking a well-deserved break after the event was over.
and every family had to have one because it looked “neat!” This ‘invention’ was followed by the touch tone phone. With this one you pushed buttons to get the number instead of dialing the numbers. Very nice and very quick, too! But the inventors were relentless because next came the cordless phone (good for up to 40 feet!) and, of course, this was followed by the cell phone (good just about anywhere!) Now that is improving on a good idea! But they were still not done! Oh, no! Just for spite they developed the hands-free, voice activated phone, usually standard on just about any cell phone/ computer you can buy! Press a button and you get, “Say a command!” You reply, “Name dial.” “Say the name.” “John Smith.” “John Smith. Calling!” Just like that your call is initiated and completed. Man, these inventors are sharp! The washer is another one of those things that
has been changed for the better. The old washing machine was usually female, about 5’4” tall and married to the man whose stuff she was washing! Then came the washtub, the old ringer washer and finally the automatic washing machine. Oh, and just to add the exclamation point they automated the drying part of the chore, too! Pretty neat, huh? Ah, the things our old generations have done for the modern generation! So, since the past generations created all this new stuff, what is left? What can the youth of today do to make life easier for those who will live in 2010 and beyond? What will our children do to make life easier for their children and grandchildren? What can they improve to make life better? Well, I have at least one thing that needs updating. In fact, this area has not been updated in probably 75 years. So, why don’t you kids of today figure out a way to update and modernize the bathroom!
That’s right! Start in the bathroom! (Relax, this is a PG rated article!) The bathroom has not changed since my parents were children. It has a bathtub/shower, a toilet and a sink. So how do you improve on that? Previous generations have started this upgrading process by changing the styles of the handles and the shape of the bathroom’s “furniture” but that is about all. We will leave the rest of this upgrade to the current generation! That should keep them busy for awhile! Or did those old fogeys (as you call us) finally get something right? (By the way, the worst words a man can ever here when he comes home from work are: “Hi, honey, I’m glad you are home. I just finished rearranging the furniture in the bathroom….” This is especially a bad thing if you see here standing there with wrenches and hammers in her hand.) Just thought you’d like to know!
Something to ponder BY MONA LEASE SENIOR SCRIBE Hi, all!! This could only be in my mind! But - I thought I’d share this idea with you. I was speaking to a girlfriend the other day. Our conversation turned to this: Have you ever noticed that (by and large) - almost by some cosmic (higherup?) design - people from other countries (cultures?) are living and working here? Before I continue on, I’ll put a parameter on this...There are good people and bad people in every culture (color, sex, etc.). And another parameter is - everyone has their vices - smoking, drinking, drugs, gambling - you get the idea. Now – to broaden the picture. From what I’ve personally seen - these “strangers from other places” largely work in or on chicken, hog, or turkey farms. For all of our mod-
ern machinery - someone has to get the droppings from the south end of these critters to the truck to spread it on a field. Or, it goes to a retention pond. Those are the ponds filled with water (mostly rain) to keep a source readily available to douse a fire - or keep it under control while you are waiting for the responding units to arrive. You’ve seen the ponds. They are the ones that are black and murky looking. And usually, there is a picnic table beside them. I don’t know why the table. Aside from moving the “deposits” - you need to deal with the animals themselves. On most of the chicken/turkey farms; the employees administer the needed shots. If you want the meat or eggs to be healthy - the animal itself needs to be healthy! This means the chickens (in this case) are taken out of their cage and “poxed” (usually
BASKET CASE The hens complained to the bunny, “We’re mad for we find it funny— You sit smugly on your keister Waiting ‘til it’s time for Easter. We labor hard to lay each egg; You whisk them off and then bootleg. Lose us—you’ve no inventory. Why should you get all the glory?” The rabbit thought, smirked as he replied, “You’ll get credit when you lay eggs dyed!” ~~~~~~ HAT CHECK The magician always would grab it And into the hat put the rabbit. But his hat trick has gone kaput; The rabbit fell and broke its foot. No magic he tried could rehab it. ~~~~~~ OUR CHURCH Remember the members who came before And value their vision for evermore. Their legacy of faith built in these walls Reaches out to minister where God calls. Renew your commitment; offer prayers. Always be thankful you’re one of God’s heirs. Love Him with your presence; witness and serve. Be good stewards; this heritage conserve. Rejoice for his mercy and saving grace. May this church be known as God’s caring place. Share your time and gifts to answer the needs— Ready to follow wherever God leads.
under their wing) and put into another cage (so you do not repox a bird or miss one). PS - Sometimes the term “biddy hen” applies and the hen darn well does not want to come out of the cage. Some young turkeys will weigh in around 75# or more - and they need shots, too. The above is an insight into a “day in the life” on a chicken/turkey farm. There are egg jams (hens lay eggs, they fall through the bars on the bottom of the cage and roll down a conveyor belt.) I’ll spare you readers all else that can and does happen in the cages. Some of the employees start out at a mere 6 or 7 dollars an hour. Some have never made more than that in the 10 years at the same job. (Yes, they are legal. They usually do not pay full rent in this case. And they pay heat and lights.). They make the “money” on how many hours they work. And many work 16 -18 hour days as a way of life. Some live in a mobile home on the farm. They are there to see to and fix,
any emergency at any time - day or night - holiday or no. Now to my point. The “strangers” from elsewhere work together. I have personally seen 3 or 4 young men live together. They will split rent of $500 as well as the utilities. I’ve seen two families - kiddies included - do this. I’ve seen them go together and buy a new van or other large vehicle. And they share it...drive time, etc. The first thought in my mind is - “Aren’t we all supposed to be living like that - or somewhere close to it?” My second question is - “Do we worry about closing the borders to fix our “problem”? Or do we open our minds to the possibility that our much sought after answer lies in the very area we are trying so disparately to eradicate? Remember the kiddies and our service people. Take good care of the furry and feathered ones out there. Be safe and healthy. See ya next time. Ever Toodles!! MONA

BY BILL STEVENS SENIOR SCRIBE Our parents, grandparents and great-grandparents have made life so much easier for us and our children. They can say what they want but history shows that mankind has worked hard to make life easy on future generations! For instance, take the telephone. At first you had to use a large, wooden, bulky phone. You had to turn a hand crank to call an operator (a real person) who then had to go through a series of steps to connect you to the person you were calling. Then came the small black “put your finger in the number and dial it” phone with a cord that attached it to the wall and another cord that attached your phone to the receiver part. Then came the “Princess” phone. Remember that one? The cords were the same and the dialing was the same (dial or the new “touch”) but every girl had to have one (after all they were the princesses!)

Arcanum Club learns about soil conditions
Ansonia Pre-School earned the second place award for raising over $960 for the 2013 WonderWalks.
Kids doing their part with WonderWalks DARKE COUNTY– Kids from pre-schools and elementary schools all over Darke County are raising money for the March of Dimes with WonderWalks. A WonderWalk is a fun filled walking event, modeled after the March of Dimes largest fundraising event, March for Babies, previously named WalkAmerica. It is designed for children, ranging in age from pre-school to fourth or fifth grade. These events are held on school property for safety and only take about one hour to perform. Each child is given a collection envelope and asked to raise money to help all babies be born healthy. All money raised goes to the March of Dimes to help improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. WonderWalk is a unique and special opportunity for children to learn about fundraising, give back to the community and help give all babies a healthy start. There are 8 participating
schools and over 1500 children walking this year. Woodland Primary Principal, Andrea Townsend, with the help of Mississinawa Valley Elementary School Physical Education Teacher, Emily Clark, are leading the walks. Clark states, “It’s neat to see the children walking and raising money for other children. Many of the students have benefited from the research done by March of Dimes such as being in incubators, receiving a Polio vaccine or the PKU heel prick tests whether they are aware or not.” Last year, six schools raised over $4,800. All Participants win a prize for helping to raise money. The Darke County March for Babies will be held at the Darke County Fairgrounds on April 26. Turn In Donations begins at 8 a.m. and the walk begins at 9 a.m. For more information contact Angelé Price, Community Director for the March of Dimes, 329-9274 or e-mail aprice@marchofdimes.com.

Wilderness and Remote First Aid training GREENVILLE – If you’re at work or home and a first aid crisis arises, with the assistance of 911 operators and emergency medical services, you are literally only minutes away from help. But what do you do if you are 20 minutes or 20 hours away from help, off of the beaten path or in an area were cell phone coverage is spotty or not available? How are you prepared to respond to an emergency? The American Red Cross Darke County Chapter will be offering the Wilderness First Aid Basics this spring on May 3 and 4, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. both days, with a CPR/AED class being offered Sunday evening from 5-8:30 p.m. If you love to go hiking, kayaking or canoeing, camp or any other activity where you are in a remote area then Wilderness First Aid is the class for you.

in depth, than basic first aid class. The class will be held at the Shawnee Prairie Preserve Nature Center at 4267 State Route 502 West, Greenville. The instructors are Nathen Epperly and Roger VanFrank, from Darke County Parks and Christina Chalmers will be teaching the CPR course. The American Camping Association (ACA) reviewed and assisted in development of the Wilderness First Aid Basics course. When accompanied with CPR training; the Wilderness Basics course also meets the
ACA’s requirements for first aid training at any camps and outings which are an hour or more way from EMS. In addition the Wilderness First Aid Basics class is approved by the Boy Scouts of America to meet training needs of not only scouts, but their leaders as well. The Wilderness First Aid Basics class covers assessment and urgent first aid techniques, but not in-depth CPR. Basic first aid skills are covered, making this course appropriate for anyone regardless of experience level. No prerequisites are required. Due to
the serious nature of the course and scenarios taught a minimum age of 15 is recommended. Students will learn to: Types of Delayed-help Situations; Checking the scene, patient and resources; Caring for the patient long term; Patient assessment and common treatments for injuries; Deciding how and when to move a patient; Carrying Out the Plan; and Deciding to Evacuate. This is an excellent opportunity for Scouts and their Leaders to prepare themselves for summer camping, mountaineering and adventuring to name just a few. They encourage all those who would like to take this course to register at www.redcross.org or call 1-800-REDCROSS. For more information, please visit www.redcross.org/oh/greenville or visit us on Twitter at DarkeCyRedCross.

Open The Door to
And Close The Door On The Expenses Of Homeownership! You’ve made up your mind to retire… now, make the decision to have the time of your life! Many retired adults are more active and independent today than ever before. Chestnut Village, located on the campus of Brethren Retirement Community, can offer you a solution to the hassles and expenses of maintaining your own home. Say goodbye to yard work, snow removal and home upkeep! Our 45-acre campus offers 2-bedroom, garden-style homes with an attached garage. Choose from 6 different floor plans that range from 1,271 – 1,801 square feet and are equipped with an emergency call-system. In addition, we offer 24-hour security so you will feel safe and secure in your home. What you sense from a visit to Chestnut Village is the spiritual wellness of a faith-based community. It’s that feeling of being part of a caring family that will make your Village retirement life so unique and special.
“Don and I knew we needed to downsize. We wanted something comfortable that would make us happy. We visited Chestnut Village and immediately liked it. We absolutely love the people, they are so beautiful, so kind, and the most Christian neighbors we’ve ever had. Don was here with me the first two years. When Don had to go from our home to the medical facility, I was so appreciative of the excellent care he received and that I could be with him so often because I live so close. Our cottage is so roomy that we were able to bring most of our furniture with us. Some people say they don’t want to leave their home but I always remind them, you take your house with you when you move, your former house is just a house that you made into a home. Some of the many things I love about living here is that I have the freedom to decorate and have flowers. I feel very safe and secure here, I’ve never worried for a moment - the security is top notch. Living in a maintenance-free home means a lot to me, especially knowing that whatever is wrong, it will be fixed the right way by people I trust. I’ve never regretted living here, not even for a minute. One of the reasons we moved here is so our children in California would not have to worry about us. Our children are very, very happy with our home and were extremely happy with the compassionate care their dad was given and are comforted knowing the quality of care their mother will receive should I ever need it.” Betty Grooms, Chestnut Village Resident Since 2009 Dogwood and Elm Home Now Available!

ABMS students learn to be energy smart
Several dogs joined their masters in the Friends of the Shelter’s inaugural 5K race; in some cases took the lead with their masters trying to keep up. (Bob Robinson photo)
Friends of the Shelter Inaugural 5K has strong showing… from humans and dogs
BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR GREENVILLE – The Darke County Friends of the Shelter kicked off their inaugural 5K race as part of the Wayne Healthcare Challenge April 5. The weather was chilly; breezes had participants, workers and well-wishers shivering despite heavy coats and gloves. This didn’t keep 253 runners/ walkers from registering. “We’ve been planning this since September,” said Jeannie Grosch. While most of the planning was done by a small committee, she noted everyone chipped in. “We’ve been announcing this event at all the races – you know how word travels among this group – and using social media, Facebook. Social media is big at getting the word out.” Grosch, a “runner” herself, had never directed a race before and was amazed at what was required to put one together. “I have a much better appreciation of race directors,” she said. “I had no idea what it took.” The group started setting up the course at 5:30 for the 9 a.m. start. The Friends of the Shelter 5K was the first in the county to have dogs participating, and the second Wayne Healthcare Challenge event. About 10 to 20 percent of the participants had their pets with them to add extra

flavor to the run/walk. There were a few serious runners as well. Aaron Fraley was the top finisher with a time of 17:41.4. He runs about 20 races and 12 5K’s a year. Keenan Fraylick came in second with a time of 19:15.2. He runs three or four 5K’s a year. Third, and top finisher with a dog, was Kyle Minnich with a time of 19:19.7. Minnich runs 50 races a year, however this was a first with his dog Macy. Christina Bowersock was the top female finisher with a time of 23:49.3. Bob Harshbarger said the event is a fundraiser for the various projects of the Friends of the Shelter, the biggest of which is Scentral Park. He was in charge of the dog goodies, including a miniature
pooper scooper; free to all participants. “We even have a treat for the kitties,” he said. Grosch wanted to thank the 25 sponsors and donors of the event. Sponsors were Barry Family Dentistry, LLC, Dr. Thomas Brown, Countryside Gardens, Inc., Greenville Federal, Hartzell Veterinary Service, Jeff Hole and Max, Keller Grain & Feed, Inc., Kline Timber Company, Majestic Pet Cremation Services, Mercer County Stor & Lock, Frank Miller Lumber and Schultz Motors. Donors were Eileen Litchfield, McDonald’s, Boston Stoker Coffee, Walmart, Marco’s Pizza, Propel Sports Water, Arcanum Veterinary Service, Kroger, Brenda’s Beanery, Taco Bell, KFC, Wendy’s and Arbys.
ARCANUM – Nicki Bowser and seventh and eighth grade students from Arcanum-Butler Middle School are excited to be involved in Be E3 Smart, an energy efficiency education program sponsored by local electric cooperative, Darke Rural Electric. This program brings math and science learning into the classroom and students’ homes by teaching ways to reduce energy demand and use. The program correlates with the Ohio Academic Content Standards and promotes student leadership through its innovative school-to-home model. “We were thrilled to be part of this program,” said Mrs. Bowser. “We were provided the complete curriculum with classroom demonstration materials that were ready to use in the classroom the next day! Each of my students received a kit of energy saving materials that he or she could take home, so they could apply what they were learning in the classroom as part of their homework assignment, and it didn’t cost the school a dime!” The Be E3 Smart program is sponsored by Darke Rural Electric and implemented by non-

profit energy education organization, the Ohio Energy Project. Teachers attend a full day professional workshop where classroom demonstration materials are provided. The estimated value of classroom materials and energy efficiency kits is about $2,000 per classroom/teacher, all of which are provided free of charge to the school. School Principal Kirby Tipple, stated, “Our students are learning why energy efficiency is important through handson labs in the classroom. When students take home the energy efficiency materials – items such as CFLs, a door sweep, an LED nightlight, weather stripping, furnace filter whistle and other items – they’re sharing what they learned in the classroom with their parents,
and they’re saving money on energy in their own home as well.” The students also really enjoyed the program. All students did a home energy audit to see where they could improve their energy savings. This will help teach them and their parents about how to save move in their homes. They were excited to get the free materials and put them to use right away. It did help them to see how much money they could save by switching just their light bulbs. The Be E3 Smart program offers a fun and innovative curriculum that empowers students to be educated leaders of tomorrow’s energy responsible society while teaching about Ohio’s new science standards.

TSO closes season GREENVILLE – The Toledo Symphony Orchestra will return to Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville on May 3, closing Darke County Center for the Arts’ 20132014 Artists Series season with a concert featuring the music of Mozart. “Almost everyone who enjoys any kind of music will love Mozart; his music is creative, expressive, evocative – he can make you smile or move you to tears,” said DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins. “The TSO musicians love to play Mozart’s wonderful music, which enhances the experience for all involved; people of all ages will have a good time at this concert,” Rawlins
stated. The concert begins at 8 p.m. Formed in 1943 as The Friends of Music, the Toledo Symphony has grown from a group of twentytwo part-time musicians to become a regional orchestra employing nearly eighty professional fulltime musicians who continue to grow in artistic quality and relevance, having ended their 2011 season with a critically acclaimed performance at Carnegie Hall. TSO remains committed to taking music to the people, playing in venues as varied as churches, schools, and universities, and supports community arts organizations like DCCA by traveling to perform in concert
halls in small towns and rural areas. Jim and Enid Goubeaux, Greenville Federal, and Ami McClurkin are sponsoring the performance by Toledo Symphony Orchestra. Additionally, the Ohio Arts Council helped fund this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. DCCA also receives operating support from the Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial as well as funding from the Ketrow Foundation and Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund. Tickets for the show are $30 for adults and $15 for students, and can be reserved by contacting DCCA at 547-0908 or dcca@centerforarts. net, or purchased at DCCA’s office located within Greenville Public Library, as well as online at www. CenterForArts.net. Tickets will also be available at the door prior to the performance.

GREENVILLE – Debbie Baker, executive director, and her staff at the former Oakley House, 1275 Northview Drive, Greenville, are pleased to announce a new name. The senior living facility recently became Oakley Place. In addition to changing the facility’s name, the parent company’s name was also changed. They believe Assisted Living Concepts described their business, but didn’t capture the essence of how they work to meet each resident’s unique needs and enhance their ability thrive in mind, body and spirit.
The new company name is Enlivant (pronounced “En-lye-vant”), which they believe is the “how” that sets them apart; a vibrancy in their communities that creates strong social connections, an environment that offers a sense of belonging for residents, a caring staff that works to help residents maintain their wellbeings and engage with the things they care about. They will remain committed to providing solutions to older adults and their families when the home no longer supports a healthy, enriched life. Baker noted changing
the name from House to Place was also important because the word house describes a building and the word place describes an environment; one that is used for special purpose. Their mission is centered on enriching the life of their residents. In addition to Debbie Baker, the management team includes Sandy Baker, community relations manager. Alaina Dittmar, RN clinical services manager, will soon be joining the team. For more information on Oakley Place, call 548-9521.

CBC/Vectren Lead the Way Creative Scholarship
DAYTON – Vectren will continue to support area students who creatively challenge their peers to be blood donors. The Community Blood Center (CBC)/ Vectren Lead the Way Creative Scholarship for High School Seniors will be funded by the Vectren for the 10th year. The CBC/Vectren
scholarship motivates the region’s young adults to become blood resource leaders of tomorrow by annually awarding $1,000 in college tuition assistance to five scholarship recipients. Vectren Community Affairs Manager Lynda Hoffman presented CBC Chief Operating Officer Jodi Minneman with a $5,000
check on Jan. 16, marking the 10th year of Vectren funding. “It is inspiring to see organizations like the Community Blood Center encouraging Miami Valley youth to get involved in our communities,” said Vectren’s Lynda Hoffman. “Getting youth involved in giving back to their communities at an early

age and taking steps to further their education helps lead to a future of strong community leaders and we are proud to support this effort.” “We are so proud of all our high school donors and thankful to their principals, teachers and blood drive coordinators who welcome us into their schools and support our lifesaving mission,” said CBC’s Jodi Minneman. “Lead the Way is a chance to help students who are inspired to do more. Vectren is a wonderful partner in recognizing their talents, supporting their efforts, and rewarding them as they take on the challenge of college.” Lead the Way is open to all graduating high school seniors in CBC’s 15-country service area who are college bound and whose high school hosted a CBC blood drive during the 201314 academic year. The scholarship puts an emphasis on creativity and dedication to helping others. Only a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher is required. Applicants are asked to imagine themselves as the leader of their high school’s blood drive and challenged to create a winning Donor Recruitment Campaign. They must create a theme for the campaign expressed in a marketing slogan; explain why the theme will effectively encourage students to donate; and express the theme in a clever, creative fashion using conventional marketing techniques or innovative, artistic expressions. All candidates should submit their application and blood drive marketing campaign to CBC. Mailings must be postmarked by April 20. Five winners will be announced in May. Application forms and samples of awardwinning campaigns are available online at www.givingblood.org. For more information contact Education Specialist Cristina Pickle, 461-3453 and bloodeducation@givingblood. org.

Adult Grief Group slated to begin May 6 GREENVILLE – State of the Heart Hospice is hosting a six week Adult Grief Support Group series beginning May 6 and ending June 10 at the agency’s office, 1350 N. Broadway in Greenville. The sessions, from 6 to 8 p.m., are free and open to anyone who needs grief support, regardless of association with hospice care. “The meetings are particularly good for those who have lost a loved one and are grieving their loss and need help dealing with their grief,” stated Erin Meyer, a Social Worker with State of the Heart who has conducted grief support sessions in the past. Joining her for the grief support meetings is Hospice Social Worker Pam Pohlman. “Each person grieves differently,” Meyer said. “Often, people feel they are the only ones who have trouble dealing with loss and grief. By attending the grief support sessions, people find they are not alone in their grief and find that others feel as they do. They tend to open up, expressing their feelings and sharing their sense of loss,” she ex-
plained. Bereavement support is an important part of the care provided by State of the Heart. Registration is necessary; call 1-800-417-7535 and ask for a member of the bereavement staff for more information and to register. Visit the agency website at www. stateoftheheartcare.org.

Staffmark wins Best of Staffing award GREENVILLE – Staffmark has been named as one of Inavero’s 2014 Best of Staffing® Client Award winners. Presented in partnership with CareerBuilder, the fifth annual Best of Staffing Award provides the only statistically valid and objective service quality benchmarks for the industry, revealing which staffing agencies deliver the highest quality of service to their clients. In a year when the staffing industry’s client service quality scores are trending down once again, the Best of Staffing winners scored well above industry service benchmarks. Staffmark is one of the best staffing agencies for companies to call when they are looking to hire temporary or permanent employees. Less than two percent of all staffing agencies in
U.S. and Canada receive the Best of Staffing Award for service excellence utilizing the Net Promoter® methodology. The stark contrast in client satisfaction scores compared to the industry average is a clear indication that the firms who have earned the 2014 Best of Staffing Client Award truly stand out for their service quality. Staffmark received
satisfaction ratings of 9 or 10 out of 10 from 63.9 percent of their clients, significantly higher than the industry’s average of 35% percent. “Staffmark’s goal is to be the best partner possible to all of our customers by delivering outstanding service,” said Lesa Francis, Staffmark’s president and CEO. “Being recognized
as a Best of Staffing winner shows the commitment our team has to exceeding our customers’ expectations. We are proud and honored to have been named to the Best of Staffing list for the third year in a row, and we look forward to continuing to deliver solutions that positively impact our customers’ business.”
