THE EARLY BIRD NEWSPAPER SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2015 We Deliver. All Local. All the Time. BOB ROBINSON ASSOCIATE EDITOR [email protected] Residents express opposition to 8,000 head hog operation GREENVILLE – Nearly 50 people filled the Darke County Commissioners meeting room and another 10-20 listened from the hallway as residents from the Beanblossom and Ar- nold Road area just north- west of Greenville shared their concerns with the commissioners on Nov. 4. At issue is a proposed 8,000 head hog operation in that area. According to reports, the Drew fam- ily is considering building four buildings that would hold 2,000 hogs each. The buildings and hogs would be parceled out to fam- ily members, which would circumvent the Ohio De- partment of Agriculture’s rules for requiring a per- mit to operate. The ODA regulates swine operations with 2,500 head or more. Community members asked commissioners if they agreed with the op- position to the proposed operation and to publicly express their opposition. Steve and Eileen Litch- field live approximately of gallons of manure really concerns me,” she said. “Why avoid the scrutiny of the ODA if everything is being managed properly?” While she would prefer not to have the hog operation near her home, Driscoll and others attending agreed, “If the proposed barns had ODA permits, I would feel a little better knowing that the state had oversight. But even if they do have permits, this is still a poor location choice and will create problems for our community.” At one time it was thought the operation would supply hogs to the Tyson Foods Co., but a letter was sent to area residents and The Early Bird stating, “We strive to be good neighbors in ev- ery community we touch. I’m not sure what rumors may be circulating in your community, but I want you to know that we have no plans to do business with the proposed facil- ity about which you ex- pressed concern.” Eileen Litchfield said, “We would like to publicly thank Ty- son Foods for being the good neighbors they men- ers listened attentively while one area resident after another expressed their view. Commissioner Mike Rhoades said, “Our hands are tied. There is a lot of Ohio Revised Code that doesn’t permit us to do things you would like us to do. We understand. We hear what you are say- ing. I would like for us to sit back, compile our thoughts, go through our notes and see what we can come up with. The truth being…we have no juris- diction whatsoever.” John Person, said, “We are a group of citizens and 1/2 mile from where the barns could be built. Steve said, “We think this proj- ect is too close to too many people and simply too close to civilization. There are over 100 homes in a one-mile radius of the pro- posed site, which means there are approximately 100 water wells.” He also noted the operation would be about one-mile from the Greenville City limit. The group is concerned about the quality of life and the environmental impact a hog operation of this size could have on nearby resi- dents. Tim Burns, a resi- dent of the area and also branch manager of Mercer Savings Bank, was quick to point out the operation “does have an impact on property values. The medi- an price for a home in this area, according to Burns, is $250,000. Carey Driscoll ad- dressed the loophole in the law that allows for thousands of hogs to be at a single location with ODA permits. “The fact that 8,000 hogs could be my new neighbors without any ODA-approved plan to properly manager millions tion on their website. We don’t know who the land- owners will now choose to do business with, but we hope they will also be good neighbors and recognize what everyone here be- lieves – this is not a good location for this type of project.” Dr. Daniel Berger and Dr. Terrance Holman ad- dressed the medical risks associated with a hog op- eration of this size. Both believe there is substantial risk. Dr. Berger addressed the commissioners and said, “We are asking you to stand with us and speak for us and to protest the building of this facil- ity. The health hazards are there. They are real. I think we’re faced with a health and ecological disaster un- less something is done.” Dr. Holman clarified that he was speaking on his own and not as a repre- sentative of the Board of Health because they have not had a discussion on this issue when he said, “For livestock to move into the middle of a residential area – my personal opin- ion is that it’s not right.” All three commission- we will exercise our au- thority and our voice. But, there is such a thing as legal jurisdiction and au- thority and moral jurisdic- tion and authority. Your voice, as a group of people who are also citizens of this county, register that moral voice. Don’t minimize your authority and power just because you don’t have the legal authority.” Rhoades agreed to try to facilitate a meeting be- tween the residents and the state legislators that do have authority over these types of matters. Early Bird salutes our veterans Many of us can never un- derstand the real sacrifice our veterans have given. They’ve left their homes and families and traveled thou- sands of miles across the globe to fight in areas most of us couldn’t find on a map. They’ve put service above self and came home injured or disabled. All have shown great love for this country and its people and lived out Jesus’ words - Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends (John 15:13). Shown above is Donald Key, of Union City, remem- bering the soldiers that gave the supreme sacrifice. When the Traveling Viet- nam Memorial Wall came to Winchester, Ind. Key stood at attention for sever- al hours saluting those who lost their lives.

Darke County Park District receives $225,000 ODNR grant ODNR Director Jim Zehringer poses with Darke County Parks Director Roger Van Frank plus staff, volunteers and supporters following his announcement of a $225,000 Clean Ohio grant for the Parks’ Tecumseh Trail. FT. RECOVERY “Great news!!” said Darke County Parks Director Roger Van Frank when he passed on the message that the Ohio Department of Natural Resources was going to award $225,000 to the District for Phase V of its Tecumseh Trail. ODNR Parks Director Jim Zehringer was go- ing to be presenting this and four other grants at a “rally” at Ft. Recovery High School. The room was packed… nearly half of those pres- ent were from Darke County. “This is a big deal,” Van Frank said. He re- called his first meeting with Zehringer in 2006. The State Representative had a small, cubby hole office upstairs in the Pal- ace in Greenville. “I need your help,” he had told him. Since then, the Parks District has received nearly $2 million from Clean Ohio for the “trail,” working its way across Darke County from Bradford to its final des- tination in Union City. “We’re in Phase V right now,” Van Frank said. It is currently at S.R. 571. This phase takes the trail into the Greenville Indus- trial Park. Phase VI will take the trail into Green- ville City Park. “Keep in mind 25 percent of this has to be ‘in-kind’ on our part,” Van Frank added… “Thank you!!!” he said emphatically to the staff, volunteers and other sup- porters in the room. Zehringer, a gradu- ate of Ft. Recovery High School, talked about the quality of life in Mer- cer and Darke Counties. “Residents want to im- prove that quality of life… they look for things to do outside,” he said. “These things are the special things villages and towns do to improve it.” He added these grants were “extremely competitive.” “To have counties like Mercer and Darke… this is just an absolutely wonderful place to live in Ohio. Family values, work ethic… we’ve got it here!” he said. Later Van Frank com- mented on the turnout of Darke County resi- dents for the event. “You spread the word and they come,” he said. “It shows how important the trail system is… it’s a partner- ship of people.” The City of Greenville was also a grant recipi- ent, receiving $24,750 for lighting for the City Park. On hand to receive the award were City Council President John Burkett, Safety Service Director Curt Garrison, and Street Supt. Ryan Delk. In ad- dition, a $3,000 grant was awarded to Arcanum for parking lots, lights at the ball diamond. Darke County Commissioner Diane Delaplane accept- ed on Arcanum’s behalf. Two Mercer County awards were presented. Ft. Recovery received $120,000 for a recre- ational trail looping through downtown to the park, while Coldwater received $49,406 to in- crease its park area. RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR [email protected] Rod Drew was in attendance for the meeting, but did not speak.

Darke County Park District receives $225,000 ODNR grant

ODNR Director Jim Zehringer poses with Darke County Parks Director Roger Van Frank plus staff, volunteers and supporters following his announcement of a $225,000 Clean Ohio grant for the Parks’ Tecumseh Trail.

Police respond to domestic violence, assault chargesOn October 31 police

were dispatched regarding a domestic violence com-plaint. The victim said Wil-liam R. Pollard had been “drinking heavily all eve-ning” and they had gotten

into an argument. It alleg-edly became physical when Pollard violently grabbed her by the arms and threw her onto the couch refusing to let her up. She said she tried to hit Pollard in an at-

tempt to let her go but was unable to do so. As soon as he did let her go she left the residence and called the police. The victim had a visible injury on her arm. There was noticeable red-ness that was beginning to bruise. Pollard said noth-ing physical took place. He was arrested for domestic violence and transported to the Darke County jail.

ASSAULTOn October 22 police

were dispatched to 615 E. Fourth St. regarding a fight. The victim, Chris Hembree, said he was sitting on the front porch of his residence when the suspect, Josh Gil-lispie, pulled up in front of the house, parked and walked onto the porch. Gil-lispie accused Hembree of flirting with his girlfriend. Hembree denied it; Gil-lispie allegedly punched him in the left eye, then turned and left. Hembree had a cut underneath his eye and lost a large amount of blood. He refused to be transported to the hospital by the rescue squad. The officer spoke with Gillispie at the Darke County jail. He admitted punching the vic-tim because he was “mess-ing with his family.” He was charged with assault.

On October 23 police responded to a complaint from a father at Greenville High School that his daugh-ter had been punched in the face by another (named) student. The victim pro-vided some details, adding that the problem had been going on for some time and included sexual comments and inappropriate touch-ing. She had a red mark on her face and complained of a headache. The suspect said he was only playing (the punching), kidding (comments) and the touch-ing was accidental. He was cited for assault.

On November 1 police re-sponded to an assault com-plaint at the Police Depart-ment. The victim, Brandon Adams, had a bleeding and swollen nose. He refused medical assistance and said he was riding his bicycle to Speedway North when two subjects at a house on East Third Street observed him and called him a *****. They walked toward him; he said he asked their names and if they had been drinking. They refused the names and said they hadn’t been drinking. One alleged-ly said he was 22, the other 15. The 22-year-old had his fists up and the 15-year-old was recording with his cell phone. They kept trying to get Adams to fight, but he refused. According to the victim, the older one took his bicycle and asked him what he was going to do about it. Adams got around him and got his bike, but as he did so the assailant

punched him in the nose. He did not fight back. He got on his bike and went to the laundry room on East Main Street to wash the blood off his face. He went to Speed-way, got his pizza then went back home. After that he went to the Police Station to report the assault. Both subjects were white males. The 22-year-old was about 5’10” tall, short brown hair, average build with tattoos on his arms. He said he was from Dayton. The 15-year-old was about 5’10” with slightly curly hair, slightly overweight and wearing an Ohio State shirt. The officer drove Adams to the area to figure out where the as-sault took place. The victim pointed out an address that he thought is where the as-sailants were. Adams was asked again if he wanted medical treatment. This time he said yes and was taken to Wayne Health-Care.

WARRANTSOn October 30 an opera-

tion was set up when it was learned Shane Rayburn would be in the back seat of a dark colored vehicle at a specific location. Rayburn had a misdemeanor war-rant for Trespassing from Darke County, a felony warrant for Theft-MV from Preble County and had just been indicted for Aggravat-ed Robbery that day. They observed the defendant and set up a box maneuver at the Traffic Circle. Rayburn was arrested. During the search police found a ziplock bag containing three capsules (that had the appearance of heroin in them), four sy-ringes and a metal spoon. Adams later admitted he was a heroin user. He was charged for Felony Posses-sion of Drugs.

On October 29 police conducted a traffic stop for a “less than two headlight” violation. The driver, Mi-chael Stinson, had an ac-tive warrant out of Miami County for probation viola-tion on the original charge of assault. He was arrested and transported to the Darke/Miami County line and turned over to Miami County Sheriff’s deputies.

BURGLARYOn November 1 police

responded to 418 E. 4th St. regarding a burglary in progress. Enroute to the address dispatch advised that the suspect, identified as Tyler Boner by the vic-tim, Amanda Vangas, was seen running from the resi-dence, possibly toward East Main Street. Another of-ficer located the suspect in the 500 block of East Main. Vangas and Robbin Ed-wards said they were in the bedroom when they heard five knocks on the front door and another three knocks on the bedroom window. When no one an-

swered, the front door was allegedly forced open and Boner entered the resi-dence and began yelling at Vangas and Edwards. They saw Boner standing inside the doorway and told him to leave. He refused and Edwards wrestled him to the floor while Vangas called the police. Boner was able to get away before police arrived. Later, Boner told police he saw on Fa-cebook Vangas was drink-ing and was worried about her drinking too much. He told police he knocked on the door, then the win-dow, then back to the door. Boner said that was when a male subject opened the door, grabbed him by the arms and slammed him onto the floor. He said he did not enter the residence. He was arrested and trans-ported to the Darke County jail.

VANDALISMOn November 1 police

were dispatched to 337 E. 3rd St. regarding a vehicle that had allegedly been damaged by John Haberny. A witness said he observed Haberny kick Andy Vititoe’s vehicle and then remove several rubber car tires and begin throwing them into the street while yelling and screaming toward the victim’s residence. Vititoe said he didn’t see Haberny kick the truck but did see him throwing tires into the street. Damage on the

truck appeared to be fresh. When police attempted to contact Haberny, he re-fused to answer the door. Officers could hear him yelling and screaming from his residence. He eventual-ly came out of his residence and was arrested. Hab-erny told police he threw the tires around the yard and into the street (and of-fered to pick them up) but denied kicking the vehicle. Darke County jail refused admittance due to a pos-sible hand injury (Hab-erny stated he struck a few walls inside his house) so the defendant was taken to Wayne HealthCare. He was cleared to be incarcerated and returned to the Darke County jail.

On October 22 police were dispatched to 300 N. Gray Ave. regarding a van-dalism complaint. The vic-tim, Sue Hahn, advised the previous tenant, Danetta Edens, allegedly spray painted the front porch and broke four of the doors in the house. The officer ob-served other spray-painted areas as well. The officer also noted a large amount of trash and feces through-out the house. Edens told police she accidently broke a window out of the front door but denied causing the other damage. The report was forwarded to Darke County Prosecutor to con-sider Felony Vandalism since the damage was not accidental and appeared to be over $1,000.

GREENVILLE – Provid-ing patients with safe medi-cal imaging examinations and radiation treatments is the prime goal for the na-tion’s radiologic technolo-gists (RT). To recognize the vital work of its R.T.s, Wayne HealthCare is cel-ebrating National Radio-logic Technology Week® (NRTW), Nov. 8-14.

NRTW was created in 1979 by the American Soci-ety of Radiologic Technolo-gists (ASRT) which repre-sents more than 152,000 members. The event is cele-brated each year during the week of Nov. 8, the day that German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen discov-ered the x-ray in 1895.

Wayne HealthCare em-ploys 21 imaging technolo-gists with over 463 years of experience. In 1937, one lone x-ray machine ex-isted; it was located next

the flames from reach-ing either of two 500 gal-lon propane tanks and the family home that were all nearby. In addition to the barn and chickens, the fire destroyed a feed truck, tractor and other business equipment.

Propane heaters used for the newly hatched chicks is a probable cause of the fire, according to the Gettysburg Rural Fire De-partment. No injuries are reported aside from the loss of the chickens.

DARKE COUNTY - At least 4,000 chickens, many only a day old, per-ished after flames de-stroyed a large two-story barn Thursday night.

Multiple local fire de-partments responded to the fully involved barn fire, which was on the 7000 block of Arcanum Bears Mill Road. The flames could be seen for nearly a mile away as crews arrived on the scene shortly after 9 p.m.

The 10,000 square foot barn, that housed the chickens as part of a lo-cal family poultry busi-ness, burnt to the ground. Crews were able to keep

Scarlet Street viewed at Greenville Library

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Third Floor Film Series will conclude its 2015 season in Novem-ber with a screening of the film noir masterpiece Scarlet Street. Directed by Fritz Lang, the film stars Edward G. Robinson and Joan Bennett.

German-born director Lang made his name di-recting films in that coun-try in a style that would come to be known as Ger-man Expressionism, most notably the psychological crime thriller M and the silent classic Metropolis. Heavy on mood and fea-turing fantastical elements and strategic use of light and shadow, the genre would go on to heavily in-fluence the American mov-ies in the film noir genre. As the Nazi party came to power in the 1930s and began to threaten freedom of expression, Lang fled Germany for the United States. It only makes sense he went on to direct some of the best films of the noir genre.

Scarlet Street tells the story of an Everyman character named Christo-pher Cross (clever, eh?), a bank cashier played by Ed-ward G. Robinson who is as loyal as he is timid. His wife is emotionally abusive and mocks his one creative outlet, his painting, which is amateur in every sense of the word but brings solace to his emotionally restric-tive life. When he meets Kitty, a young woman who flirts with Chris and makes him feel alive again, he falls for her. He should know better though, because this is a film noir and Kitty is the ultimate femme fatale. Hearts are broken, reputa-tions are ruined, and les-sons are learned too late in this stylish and clever film.

Make plans to join them on Thursday, Nov. 18, 7 p.m., as they screen Scarlet Street. Coffee, soft drinks, candy, and popcorn will be available free of charge, and David Nilsen will be leading a brief discussion after the film.

Parents, voters tour the “new” Greenville HS

Academy room. “We had 28,000 students in the state of Ohio who did not graduate this year,” Fries said. He pointed out the Virtual Academy as an ef-fort by the District to keep GCSD from contributing to that number.

It serves students hav-ing difficulty in certain classes, or did not pass one required course… even those who dropped out and wanted to try again. The Academy is not part of the traditional ed-ucation environment and would be an attractive al-ternative to those wanting to complete their educa-tion but didn’t do well in the regular classroom.

Fries was pleased at the number of citizens

who had the time and in-terest to see how their tax dollars were being used to benefit the youth of their community. The Open Houses were designed to serve that purpose, he not-ed, but also to thank the voters. “I certainly want to thank the community for its support,” he said. “That’s what these Open Houses are for.”

over the weekend. Both Fries and Greenville High School Principal Jeff Cas-sel conducted tours; plus visitors were able to sim-ply walk through the ren-ovated building at their leisure. All areas were open, including some that didn’t exist a year ago.

Among the new items is an Advanced Manufactur-ing lab with equipment, an easily accessible en-trance to the high school’s courtyard, fire alarm and security system that in-cludes motion detectors, a larger state of the art kitchen with three serving lines, handicap entrance ramps and rails, lighting and landscaping, interior and exterior door signage, family restroom, teach-ers lounge… and the list grows. Some of the more notable improvements include a larger cafeteria (seating capacity went from 340 to 560), heat-ing/ventilation/air condi-tion system, new lockers, updated science labs and music rooms and much more.

Fries pointed out some of the specific use areas, such as the Media Lab, the updated Computer Lab, the Pre-K room where Career Tech stu-dents teach and care for students who will be in kindergarten the follow-ing year and the Virtual

Lunch or Dinner Buffet

Red Cross will teach coursesGREENVILLE –

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and there is nothing better than the smiling faces brought together by tur-key, dressing and pumpkin pie. Besides the delicious food, though, Thanksgiv-ing is a time time-honored tradition, like football and listening to crazy Uncle Frank’s embarrassing sto-ries of everyone for the 20th time.

The problem is, crazy Uncle Frank does not like to stop laughing and tell-ing his stories while eating, which can lead to a deadly combination—choking. If crazy Uncle Frank stops talking and begins to clutch his throat, would you know what to do?

The Red Cross may not be able to help the qual-ity of Uncle Frank’s sto-ries, but it can help teach you what to do if someone chokes on a piece of turkey or pumpkin pie—and that’s exactly what it will do dur-ing the adult and pediat-ric first aid, CPR and AED course offered in Greenville

on Nov. 10, beginning at 6 p.m. at the Darke County Chapter, 130 Martz St.

The course provides hands-on experience in ad-dition to an animated pre-class learning component. Rather than the standard “read and take a multiple-choice quiz” formula, the Red Cross took a page from the Xbox and Wii genera-tion and students now use an interactive, animated, virtual learning formula to teach the course basics.

The course also results in a two-year Red Cross cer-tification and meets OSHA workplace requirements. The price for the course ranges from $55 to $85, depending on how many components to the course are chosen. Advanced reg-istration is required. Sign-ing up is easy—register online at redcross.org/take-a-class—and then you can rest easy knowing you will be able to help Uncle Frank.

To out find more infor-mation, call 1-800-RED CROSS or visit redcross.org.

Ohio House passes Health Care Compact

Congress gets raise-retirees don’t?

Big government is at it again! It was a surprise to learn that social security recipients are NOT getting a COLA adjustment. To add insult to injury some are going to pay more for Medicare (for some up to 52-percent more.) Con-gressional representatives starting salary is $174,000 per year yet on line some

are moaning about barely getting by so Obama gives them a $4000 pay raise. It seems to me America needs to wake up and make these representatives “work” for the pay they get and be held accountable for ev-ery move they make. The above is just my opinion-what’s yours?

GREENVILLE – The Greenville OneMain Finan-cial branch, 1520 Wagner Ave., has partnered with Feeding America, the na-tion’s leading domestic hunger-relief organization, to hold a food drive with Shared Harvest Food bank as part of its Customer Ap-preciation Days (CAD). Area residents and customers are encouraged to donate canned goods and nonper-ishable items to the branch throughout the month of November to fight hunger during the holiday season.

“CAD is always a special time in our branch because it’s our chance to show customers we appreciate them and we are proud to be part of this community,” said Torrie Norris branch manager. “This food drive is the perfect way to show our gratitude by giving back

through our partnership with Feeding America. No one should have to worry about having enough food to eat, so we hope the com-munity will join us in mak-ing a difference.”

Customer Appreciation Days is an annual OneMain Financial tradition in which the company holds special events to recognize its cus-tomers. To underscore the company’s commitment to fighting hunger this holiday season, OneMain Finan-cial has donated $25,000 to Feeding America. The contribution will help pro-vide 275,000 meals to food-insecure kids, families and seniors. At its core, the com-pany is committed to the success of the communities in which it operates.

The regular business meeting will include the annual Memorial Service honoring those members who have passed during the year.

Following the business meeting, Lois Bunger, local yoga instructor, will present a program on Yoga for All Ages.

DCRTA and ORTA dues can also be paid at the lun-cheon. DCRTA dues are $7 and ORTA dues are $30 per year.

To make reservations contact Jean Kelly before Nov. 12 at 692-6248 or [email protected]. DCR-TA invites anyone to join their association. You do not have to be a retired edu-cator; you just need to have a great interest in and love of education.

Today, my heart is full with gratitude to my fam-ily, my constituents and my colleagues for giving me the opportunity to serve Ohio-ans in the 8th District for 25 years. I leave the people’s House as the same person I’ve always been— just a regular guy humbled by the chance to do a big job.

This all started as a chase for the American Dream in a small house with a big family in Reading, Ohio. That was where I got my first job throwing newspa-pers, mopped floors at my father’s bar and learned that Ohioans aren’t afraid to work.

I never thought about it as coming up the easy way or the hard way. To me, it was just the Cincinnati way.

Our city was named af-

ter the great Roman gen-eral, Cincinnatus – a farmer who answered the call of his nation to lead, then sur-rendered his power and returned to his plow. But for me, it wasn’t a farm. It was a small business. And it wasn’t so much a calling as it was a mission: to strive for a smaller, less costly, and more accountable gov-ernment.

That often meant helping constituents and local of-ficials cut through gridlock and navigate the bureau-cratic maze in Washington to get things done. In Ham-ilton, for instance, I brought together the Army Corps of Engineers and local officials to get the Meldahl Lock and Dam power plant off the ground. In Butler County, I worked with officials at all levels to keep the veterans

highway and Union Centre projects on track. With the Ohio delegation, I made sure that Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and the Spring-field Air National Guard Base had the resources they needed to support our men and women in uniform.

It also meant listening to the tens of thousands of con-stituents my office helped through casework, letters, phone calls, my open door program, and of course, my annual Farm Forum. The stories of Ohioans frustrat-ed with the growing scope of government and their de-sire to secure a better future for our children drove real change in Washington.

For the first time in near-ly 20 years, we made real entitlement reforms, saving trillions over the long term. We protected 99 percent of

Americans from tax increas-es. Today, we are on track to save taxpayers $2.1 tril-lion over the next 10 years, which is the most signifi-cant spending reductions in modern history. And, we did it all with no earmarks.

I am proud of what we accomplished. None of this would have been possible without the support of my family and the hard work of my staff, which has been first-rate from start to finish. Together, we did the right things for the right reasons and good things happened.

It has been an honor. Thank you and God bless this great country.”

Note: On October 29th 2015, Congressman John Boehner delivered his fare-well address in the Hall of the House.

COLUMBUS—The Ohio House of Representatives passed legislation that would give Ohio more free-dom and flexibility over its healthcare policies.

House Bill 34, sponsored by Rep. Retherford and Rep. Boose, ratifies the Health Care Compact through which Ohio would enter a multi-state contract that would secure more rights to the states for healthcare policy decisions.

The measure is a re-sponse to rising costs and deficits, as well as the in-creased federal overreach into health care.

If signed into law by Governor Kasich and ap-proved by the US Congress, the Compact allows Ohio to suspend the operation of all federal laws and regulations that are inconsistent with Ohio laws adopted through the Compact. Should Con-gress approve the Compact, however, it would still be up to the state legislature whether to change Ohio’s healthcare policy, as well as what those specific changes would be.

Under the legislation, Ohio would receive fed-

eral funding to support health coverage each fiscal year. The amount of fund-ing would be determined based on the estimated level of federal funding used for health care, which would be updated periodically based on population and inflation.

“For years, we have heard the complaints about the ACA. We have also seen attempt after attempt to re-peal the ACA, but with no backup plan. Ohio, along with several other states, have taken the lead on find-ing a suitable replacement to the Federal control of our healthcare system. By re-turning these dollars to the states, we can start working on state by state reform that will best serve our constitu-ents. I want to thank my col-leagues in supporting my ef-forts to find a solution to our Healthcare crisis. Ohioans are demanding actions, not just words, and today the Ohio House took that step.”

– Retherford said.The Health Care Com-

pact included a set of core principles, inspired by the goals of personal freedom and federalism. The prin-ciples include:

* The separation of powers, both between the branches of the federal gov-ernment and between fed-eral and state authority, is essential to the preservation of individual liberty.

* The Constitution cre-ates a federal government of limited and enumerated

powers, and reserves to the states or to the people those powers not granted to the federal government.

* The member states seek to protect individual liberty and personal control over healthcare decisions, and believe the best method to achieve these ends is by vesting regulatory author-ity over health care in the states

House Bill 34 now goes to the Ohio Senate for fur-ther consideration.

GREENVILLE – Light-house Christian Center is announcing its annual Holiday Bazaar on Nov. 21, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Come out and enjoy fall and Christ-mas items before the holi-days begin. Vendors will be setting up in the All Sea-sons Place and there will be a snack bar for all to enjoy soup and sandwiches while shopping or have lunch and listen to the holiday music.

Vendor spaces are avail-able.

For more information, call Janice at 417-5926 or the church at 548-7464 and leave a message. Pro-ceeds benefit LCC outreach ministries.

The original mission of the preschool was to touch lit-tle lives academically and socially and prepare them for kindergarten; however, over the years, the pro-gram began to grow and to challenge children socially, emotionally, physically, intellectually, and spiritu-ally. EUM Church held the preschool in the highest re-gard by offering a quality early childhood education that was affordable and all encompassing. From start to finish, an entire theme based day was focused on learning not only academ-ics such as letters, phonics, numbers, counting, sign language, and more, but Biblical truth and life les-sons were also taught.

During the 38 years the preschool was in existence, students took part in Op-eration Christmas Child Shoebox project, had pen pals, exchanged letters and colorings to many Veterans, participated in Pizza Hut Book It, gave afghans to a birthing center, made crafts for shut-ins in the church family, Christmas caroled in downtown Greenville, donated to FISH food bank and so much more. The stu-dents went on field trips to places such as Brumbaugh’s Fruit Farm, Shawnee Prai-rie, local farms, Idle Hour Ranch, Greenville Public Library, Greenville Fire De-partment, and field day at South Park.

EUM Church is grateful for the community support given to EUM Christian Pre-school for the past 38 years. Without this support, the preschool could not have had such a lasting impact or influenced over a thousand students and families.

OBITUARIES

Get Your Affairs in Order for an Orderly Estate

You may be quite willing to plan an investment strategy for your re-tirement years. After all, it can be enjoyable to think about traveling the world, pursuing your hobbies or participating in any of the activi-ties you’ve associated with an active retirement. However, once you do retire, you’ll need to “shift gears” somewhat to focus on your legacy. Specifically, to protect your loved ones and ensure your intentions are clear and carried out, you’ll need to do some more planning – and you’ll need to share your thoughts with your family.

Here are some moves to consid-er:

List your assets and debts. Your family needs to be aware of your assets and debts, so share this information with them while you are alive and well.

Create a durable power of attorney. Give a trusted friend or family member a durable power of attorney to pay bills and make fi-nancial choices on your behalf if you are unable to do so.

Choose an executor. An execu-tor is the person or entity you name in your will to carry out your wishes. An executor has a variety of respon-sibilities, so pick someone who is honest and capable of dealing with legal and financial matters. Talk with an attorney about how best to name your executor.

Update your will. You might have written a will many years ago, but, over time, many aspects of your life may have changed. Review your will with your attorney to ensure it reflects your current wishes.

Review benefits of a liv-ing trust. A simple will may not be enough to accommodate your

estate-planning needs. You might want to consider establishing a liv-ing trust, which provides you with significant flexibility in distributing your assets and can help you avoid the time-consuming, expensive and public process of probate. To create a trust or other estate-planning doc-uments, you will need to work with a qualified legal professional.

Review your beneficiary des-ignations. The beneficiary desig-nations on your financial accounts (401(k), IRA, etc.) and your insur-ance policies can even supersede the directions on your will, so it’s essential that you update these des-ignations to reflect events such as divorce and remarriage. And make sure your beneficiaries have the facts they need to claim their benefits.

Share location of your le-gal documents. Your loved ones should know where you keep docu-ments such as your birth certificate, will and living trust. If you keep these items in a safe deposit box, tell your family where you keep the key.

Encourage two-way commu-nication. It’s obviously necessary to communicate your final wishes to your family members – but listen to their wishes and concerns, too. For example, ask your children to agree on who gets those objects of special concern to them, such as furniture, mementos and heirlooms.

As you can see, you’ll need to take several steps to fulfill your inten-tions – and the above list is cer-tainly not exhaustive. So plan care-fully, engage the appropriate team – financial advisor, attorney, tax professional – and put your plans in motion. By being proactive, you can greatly ease the burden on your loved ones in the future.

Green Wave end season with 13-12 win to retain ‘Brown Jug’

BY GAYLEN BLOSSERSPORTS WRITER

[email protected] – The

Little Brown Jug keeps its home in the Green Wave

trophy case by the slimmest of margins… but it was the Wave football team leaving it all on the field in a 13-12 GWOC North win over the visiting Sidney Yellow Jackets.

“The kids left it all out on the field,” said Green-ville Coach Aaron Shaffer. “They played every second of the game to the very end.”

The Jackets put its 6-3 record up against the Wave’s 3-6 record on se-nior night at Harmon Field in the Treaty City.

Greenville used 13-plays and 5:43 on the game clock to complete a 60-yard scor-ing drive with senior Codi Byrd carrying up the mid-dle for a 2-yard touchdown run giving the home team a 6-0 lead at 3:45 in the first. A Jordan Ernst PAT kick made it a 7-0 lead.

Big plays on the drive came from a 13-yard pass from Clay Guillozet to Jus-tin Brown and a 13-yard Guillozet scramble.

Sidney would get on the second quarter board with a TD through the air and a failed PAT kick attempt sending the teams to the break with the Wave hold-ing a 7-6 advantage.

On hand for the final game of the season was Greenville alum Matt Light to present a Gold football to the Greenville High School celebrating the 50th year of Super Bowl. Light also presented the “Friends of Harmon Field” a $10.000.00 check from The Bill Belichick Founda-tion.

The Yellow Jackets would take a 12-7 third quarter lead with a 13-play 90-yard touchdown drive. Greenville’s defense held as the Jackets 2-point con-version attempt failed.

A 20-yard touchdown pass from Guillozet to Bradley Mead with 9:53 on the fourth quarter clock proved to be all the points needed for a Green Wave season ending win. The Wave’s 2-point conversion attempt failed making for a final 13-12 score.

“I am so happy for our seniors to get a win on se-nior night and their final game,” said Shaffer. “Some of the guys will go on to play college ball. It’s a bit-ter sweet night. I have had this group of seniors for four-years.”

Senior quarterback Clay Guillozet ends his Green Wave career with 3,951 to-tal passing yards.

With the win the Green-ville is home to the “Jug” for the third consecutive year.

County hosts opening gymnastics meet

Versailles volleyball advanced to ‘Sweet 16’ round

BY CLINTON RANDALLSTAFF WRITER

[email protected] - The

Darke County YMCA Gymnastics team hosted its opening season meet Oct. 31 at the Greenville branch.

Though a small, four-team meet, the competi-tion was fierce with many talented athletes battling it out in four separate events... the vault, beam, uneven bars and floor ex-ercise.

Session one was held in the morning with levels 3 and 4 competing.... then levels 5-9 took over in ses-sion two after noon. Teams from Miami County, Sid-ney-Shelby County and the Kettering YMCA had sev-eral girls competing in the XLG (12 to 18 years of age) and XLP (14 to 18 years of age) levels as well.

Overall team scores were - Darke County with 101.350... Miami County 102.650... Sidney-Shelby County 108.000... and topping the meet was Kettering with 108.400.

“I think all our girls did great; especially with this being the first meet of the year. They got out there and got a feel for what to

TIPP CITY – The Ver-sailles Lady Tigers volley-ball teamed earned a spot in the Sweet 16 Division III OHSAA tournament with a convincing 3-0 win over the Reading Lady Blue Devils in an 11:00 a.m. Saturday contest.

“Attacking from all sides,” said Versailles Coach Karla Frilling of her teams play on the day. “That’s the nature of our offense. We got the ath-letes to do it. We’re go-ing to get everybody in-volved.”

Reading put an 18-7 record on the line against the Lady Tigers’ 13-10 re-cord, but it was a tough 2015 MAC schedule that played to the Versailles girl’s favor on the day.

“When you have a team that comes back and goes ahead and then you still manage to finish it in the end, that’s frustrating (for losing team),” Filling said. “We’ve been on that side before so we just kept that going… we knew we weren’t going to look back at that point.”

Versailles would find their stride and take the second set by a lopsided 25-8 score as Blue Devils could not find an answer for the Lady Tigers ag-gressive play.

“The momentum from that first game we just car-ried it over into the sec-ond game and just didn’t look back,” said Frilling. “I think we did take a little wind out of their sails and that played in our favor.”

Reading would open game three with a 1-0 lead but quickly was looking at an 8-2 deficit bringing one of many Blue Devil timeouts on the day.

“We didn’t in any way want the girls to get the impression that we could slow down and not run our tempo,” stated Frilling. “We’re moving along… we’re moving to-wards that peak… we’re not there yet,” Frilling said. “We don’t want to be there yet. I think we are improving at the right time.”

The Union City Commu-nity High School varsity cheerleaders placed 4th overall at a state-wide competition Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium in In-dianapolis.

UCCHS competed against 14 squads from around the state. After placing 4th in the first round, the Indians ad-vanced to the finals held Saturday evening… where they placed 4th again.

“This competition sea-son has been best we have ever had… from winning the state fair and now 4th at state,” said a proud UC Cheer Coach Heather Jefferis. “The girls have worked extremely hard all summer and fall. We have had countless hours of practice,” Coach Jef-feris added. “I’m so ex-tremely proud of the girls and their dedication!”

The squad most re-cently topped the compe-tition at the Indiana State Fair in August and took 2nd place at the Clinton County Fair in July.

“Congratulations to our Lady Indians and a big shout out to Coach Jefferis and Coach Brad-

bury on a job well done,” UCCHS Athletic Director Mike Thornburg stated in an email to The Early Bird.

Next up for the ladies is the Tri-Eastern Confer-ence competition which will be held in March.

[email protected] – The

Greenville football team has four regulation foot-balls ready for game night whether home or away.

“Four footballs,” said Greenville football coach Aaron Shaffer. “As long as it’s a dry night its four you can check. The offi-cials check the regulation… basically just check for poundage.”

High School proto-col is similar to college and the NFL as footballs are checked prior to each game

Coach Shaffer chooses the football manufacture and model the Green Wave will use for the season.

“I pick the brand that we use,” said Shaffer. “We choose the ball that is en-dorsed by the OHSAA in their playoff format. Gen-erally everybody uses the

Wilson GST… that’s the state tournament approved ball.”

“We get game balls out during the week and break them in. We have a process we go through where we

condition our football to get it to the texture that we like. As the week wears on it gets in better shape.”

The team kicking off uses one of its footballs causing the receiving team

footballs in we mark them. It just says GHS on the bot-tom side of the ball. When the officials take them they will mark their own spe-cial mark with a marker… usually on the white stripe so they know that it’s not a ball that came in that shouldn’t have. The foot-balls are taken care of in a pretty extreme manor.”

Officiating crews are responsible for the proper air pressure with each crew preferring their own proce-dure.

“Sometimes crews like to have the football in their locker room before they come out and then they will bring them back out to you,” Shaffer said. “Some crews will allow you to have

them on the field and will check them on the field.”

The role of the ball boys often goes unnoticed or is often unknown to fans. Ball boys must be alert to get his team’s football to a waiting official. A nice throw from the ball boy is appreciated by the official. In reverse, a ball boy must be ready to catch the team’s football when a change is required.

“If you get a wet night their job goes through the roof,” said Shaffer. “The condition of the ball aside from making sure the of-ficials have what they need in terms of the ball in and out, like after kickoffs and things like that. They defi-nitely have an important job.”

to handle the opponent’s football. There are stories of opposing teams using old, smooth and somewhat slick footballs on kickoffs making it easier for the re-ceiving team to fumble the ball.

“It’s a common prac-tice that teams don’t kick their game balls… the ones that you are actually play-ing the other part of the game,” said Shaffer. “The balls tend to be a little softer even though the air pressure is the same. Usually on a dry night the teams will check in a ‘quote unquote’ kicking ball.”

With the many balls both teams bring to the field, it does not tend to create a problem for the of-ficials to put the approved ball in play.

Greenville City Park successfully moves peafowl

Mock Rock & Talent Show kicks off successful campaign

AHS Band is ready for state competition

Walking in ArcanumARCANUM – Arca-

num-Butler Local Schools will be open to the public for adult walking Monday-Thursday evenings from

6-8 p.m., Nov. 30, through March 31, 2016. Walking will be restricted to the first floor tiled hallways.

GREENVILLE – The Greenville City park em-ployees and the City Street Department employees took advantage of a 77-de-gree Wednesday afternoon to move the Peafowl into their new home located in the Greenville City Park.

“I would like to thank all the donors and especially Ryan Carpe for spearhead-ing this project and to Kathy Warvel our volun-teer Peafowl caretaker for making this a reality,” stat-ed Greenville Park Board President Dale Musser.

“It was a big undertak-ing,” said Greenville City Park Manager Deb Berger. “None of it could have hap-pened unless we had dona-tions. All of this is through donations… so we thank the community.”

City employees con-structed a temporary cov-ered walkway from the old Peafowl building to the new living quarters and fenced in area for moving.

“Better than I expect-ed,” said Warvel of the move. “I knew they would be scared. These guys did a great job setting it all and getting them in here. It will take them a little while to adapt and to realize they can go inside. It’s a great facility and look how much room they have. It’s twice as big.”

“Luckily we were able to move them while their feathers were short,” add-ed Warvel. “They didn’t get hurt. They are a lit-tle scared right now but they’re going to be fine.”

The new facility allows for park visitors to get a better view of the many brightly colored fowl.

“We faced it east be-cause most of the traffic from the park comes from this way,” Berger said.

“People coming to the park realize they’re here and they are more visual in this area.”

“Thanks to everyone, especially Ryan Carpe the committee chairman,” said Berger. “Ryan headed this – so thank you Ryan.”

“Wouldn’t have been able to do it without the fantastic teamwork and good heartedness of the Greenville community and its administrators,” said Carpe.

Carpe, a local business-man stated, “Just enjoy the park… big fan of the Greenville City Parks and one of the greatest things we have about this com-munity.”

“I just took a look at our facilities and it wasn’t so much that I’m huge into the peacocks, more so that these animals deserve some solid upgrades and newer facilities. That’s go-ing to translate into a bet-ter experience for all the citywide park goers. More just kind of creating some new upgrades and doing some better things for the park goers.”

“It’s going to be a lot easier,” continued Carpe. “We’re going to try and repurpose some walk-ways and we’re also in the process of installing some signs that will be educational about where they come from and what kind of animals peacocks are. We should be install-ing that within the next week.”

“There is going to be a plaque that honors ev-erybody who donated to the project,” stated Carpe. “We couldn’t have done it without the Coppock-Hole Trust, without the Brown Family and without the benefactors of the Green-ville City. Just a lot of peo-ple put together for this project… just really proud of it.”

GREENVILLE – The Oct. 31 Mock Rock & Tal-ent Show held by the Greenville VFW Post 7261 offered an opportunity to learn about the local VFW’s plans for the Veteran’s Memorial Park and Digital Library. It also offered an opportunity for some hu-mor, great entertainment and acknowledgments for the hard work of many.

Seven talented individ-uals and groups vied for the $1,000 prize in three categories: Most Original Act, People’s Choice and Best Overall Show. Donna Keys walked away with the Most Original Act with her rendition of “Be Good to Mama” from the hit movie musical, Chicago. People’s Choice went to 13-year-old Daphne Keys for her guitar and vocals performance. The Best Overall Show was captured by 17-year-old Taylor Bowers who belted out the inspirational favor-ite, “How Great Thou Art.”

“We all came together,” Maloney told the approxi-mately 100 people pres-ent. “We got together and we did this! That makes it successful.”

Maloney acknowledged the judges: Early Bird Publisher Keith Foutz and wife Peggy, Dave Boltin, Jack Harless, Robert Gi-annone, Tracy Onoz and Doug Black.

2015 Arcanum High School Marching Band

ARCANUM – The Arca-num High School march-ing band under the leader-ship of band director Doug Albright and Field Com-mander Shelby Horzsa has earned the right to perform at the State Band March-ing Finals at Dayton’s Wel-come Stadium Nov. 8, with a 5 p.m. show-time.

The seasoned Albright in his 29th year at the helm of the Arcanum band program, grades 5-12, is pleased with the success of his 2015 High School Marching Band.

“It’s been a nice group this year,” said Albright. “I think some of them went home over the summer and worked to get a little bet-ter and maybe came back a little stronger than when they left. That’s a little bit unusual sometimes… to get people to take that ini-tiative. That has helped us out.”

“We have a mature group,” Albright added. “We have a big class of seniors and sophomores, both smaller classes in ju-niors and freshman.”

“We are all excited,” said senior trombonist Mitchell Sink. “It’s our first time (seniors) going to state for marching band. We are all

really happy about it.” The 45-member march-

ing band that includes brass, woodwind and per-cussion will be traveling by bus for the school’s first trip to the State Band finals since 2010.

The Trojans competed at Piqua recently qualify-ing with a superior rating to advance to state finals where the judging will be a little more demanding.

“They are looking for a higher level of perfor-mance at that state level than they are at qualifying contests,” stated Albright. “At state level they usually judge us a little harder. I think it takes a little better performance to get a supe-rior rating (#1 rating)… a little higher bar at the state

level.” “It has helped our group

to have good leaders,” Al-bright continued. “Our field commander, Shelby Horzsa is a good leader for our group… positive and helpful. We have individual leaders in each section that are good leaders who listen for things. They pretty well know the standard that we are trying to apply. They listen for that and help out on the field also.”

“I lead the band. I con-duct them, help them keep tempo and pace,” shared Horzsa of her role as Field Commander. “Knowing when to step off, when to mark time and hold. I just try to help them stay positive through the whole thing… just not lose focus

on what we are supposed to be doing”

A confident Horzsa is excited of the opportunity for the Arcanum Band she leads to compete at the State level.

“I am pretty much ready for it,” said Horzsa. “I think it will be good. It will be a lot of fun. We are all ex-cited and I’m more excited than anything.”

The community is in-vited to the Arcanum High School for a 2 p.m. send-off for the state-bound band.

“We’re a strong play-ing group… that’s our strength,” concluded Al-bright. “I generally don’t tell them they are playing well until they are really playing well… and they are playing well.”

Christmas at the Manor will be Nov. 21

GREENVILLE – Join St. Clair Manor in celebrat-ing Christmas at the Manor 2015. You won’t want to miss this unique event at St. Clair Manor in Greenville on Nov. 21, 1-6 p.m. St. Clair Manor is located just off Broadway at 224 East Third Street.

As you step into the his-toric Manor, built in 1896, you are surrounded by the nostalgic ambiance of days gone by. Stroll through the Manor to enjoy cookies with Santa, photos at the Flash-box Booth, live music by a relaxing fireplace, chair massage, reflexology, and facials. Shop local for hand-made creations such as jew-elry, art, home décor, ap-parel, accessories, candles, soaps, skin care products, and other gifts. Enter the raffle for a chance to win unique prizes donated by the local businesses. Or, step onto a horse-drawn carriage

off the front steps of the Manor for an enchanting ride before the Hometown Holiday Horse Parade be-gins.

The best part of this event is that it benefits Grace Res-urrection Community Cen-ter. Non-perishable food items and monetary dona-tions will be collected at the door to benefit Grace’s Backpack Program and Food Pantry. There’s no better way to take part in the Christmas Spirit of giv-ing than by contributing to the needs of our communi-ty.

White oak and shingle oak leaves litter the path at Shawnee Prairie Preserve.

Learning leaves with DCP’s Park P.A.L.S.

GREEENVILLE – The Darke Coun-ty Park District Naturalist Hannah Linebaugh invites children in kin-dergarten through second grade to join her on Nov. 14, 9:30 a.m. to noon, to learn about the leaves and trees in Darke County with the Park P.A.L.S. program.

Park P.A.L.S. is a series of monthly programs designed for students of this age group who are interested in nature. P.A.L.S. stands for Practic-ing And Learning Stewardship, and its mission is to de-velop future earth stewards through meaningful educa-tional opportuni-ties and hands-on experiences in the natural world.

This month ev-eryone will meet at the Nature Center

on St. Rt. 502 west of Greenville to explore. Children will learn about the difference be-tween conifer and broadleaf trees, a few basic leaf types and shapes, and play a game to help remember. Then everyone will head outside to see what types of leaves are still on the trees or on the ground to discover. The class will conclude with a fun and colorful project with leaves found along the way.

A fee of $3 is charged for the program, and pre-registration is re-quired. For any questions about the Park P.A.L.S. pro-gram or any other Park District pro-grams or to register for the November class, call the Na-ture Center at 548-0165.

Edison State hosts spring registrationPIQUA – Edison

State Community College will host a special registration event for new and returning students on Nov. 14, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Pi-qua campus and is designed to expe-dite the application and enrollment processes in time for classes that be-gin Jan. 19.

The portion of

the registration event designated for new students will include a one-stop registration oppor-tunity and break-fast. For this special occasion, the $25 payment plan will be waived. Those new to Edison are asked to arrive at 9 a.m. or 10:30 a.m.

“These events are great because they give people

the opportunity to complete multiple enrollment steps in just a few hours—they apply, meet with an advisor, and get registered for classes,” said Chris-tina Raterman, En-rollment Manager for Edison State. “You start out with an application and leave as a student with a picture ID and a class sched-

ule in hand.”Prospective stu-

dents will meet with an advisor, de-sign a personalized education plan, and register for spring semester classes. In addition, they will receive information about setting ca-reer and academic goals, learn about the financial aid process, complete new student orien-tation, and take a tour of campus.

New students will also be able to complete the COM-PASS assessment in reading, writing and math. Students who have previous-ly completed col-lege math and Eng-lish, or who have qualifying ACT or SAT scores, may not need to take the COMPASS.

Students who started pursuing education from Edison State but

stopped attending before completing their degree are also invited to attend. Returning students will be able to reg-ister for upcoming spring semester classes, design a personalized edu-cation plan, meet with advisors to discuss career and academic goals, and enjoy lunch on Edison. Returning students may arrive at any time during the event.

“The event is be-ing held on a Sat-urday in hopes of making it easier for folks to attend,” added Raterman. “We understand people are busy and we want to help make things simple!”

In addition to saving money, the first 50 people who register to attend the enrollment event in advance will be entered to win a three-credit hour tuition waiver. For more informa-tion or to register to attend, go online to www.edisonohio.edu/admissions.

Still enrolling for Head Start preschool

GREENVILLE – It’s not too late to get preschool children into the Head Start pro-gram. Kids Learn-ing Place is taking applications and is in full swing of the new 2015-16 school year for pre-schoolers. There are a few spaces still available for children to enroll in the classrooms and the home visit-ing program. Call for information to-day to secure your child’s spot in the no cost Head Start early education program.

Preschool and early learning is important in the development of young children and Head Start, a federally funded c o m p r e h e n s i v e program, is one no

cost option for pre-school education at Kids Learning Place. The eligibili-ty for this preschool program is: a child must be between three to five years old and the family must meet federal income guidelines. The program also provides services to children that are in foster care or homeless. The program allocates 10% of the slots for children with diagnosed special needs also.

Kids Learning Place centers in Greenville, Union City and Bradford are the only centers in Darke County to earn a 4 or 5 star “Step Up To Qual-ity” award from the State of Ohio. This award recog-nizes early child-

hood programs that exceed licens-ing standards. Kids Learning Place classrooms place a major focus on school readiness and works to pro-vide every child with a positive education experi-ence to get them ready for kinder-garten. They have degreed teachers in every classroom, a research based curriculum, do de-velopmental test-ing throughout the year and value and encourage parent participation.

CELINA – Bear-creek Memories Dinner Theater in Celina, is present-ing Gaither Home-coming artist Ivan Parker on Nov. 20, 2 and 7:30 p.m.

On Ivan’s Sig-nature Song, “Mid-night Cry” he re-members the in-credible feeling he had the first time he heard the song. “I just could not get away from the mes-sage in the song. It meant a lot to me, because it was the message that tugged at my heart the night I gave my heart to the Lord.

This message is re-peated in so many songs.”

One of the great-est ministry oppor-tunities to come Ivan’s way is being a part of most of the Gaither Home-coming Videos and singing in 70 to 80 Gaither Concerts a year, which aver-age around 15,000 attendees each, in addition to his own solo schedule. In all, his calen-dar shows an av-erage of 200 per-formances a year. One of the high-lights of his min-istry in 2002 was

when he stepped on stage at Carnegie Hall and sang not “On the wings of a snow white dove” but “God Bless the USA.”

Ivan and his wife Teresa reside in Nashville, Ten-nessee. They own Parker Music Group which not only rep-resents Ivan Park-er but Teresa is a booking agent rep-resenting several other artists from the Gaither Home-coming Tour. They have two sons, Ryan and Josh. Ryan is a Commercial Lender and is married to

Sandy Hagee who is an Attorney. Josh is a graduate of Cum-berland University with a degree in Music.

Buffet & Show tickets and Show-Only tickets are available. Gold seating is $25. Sil-ver Seating is $20. Add a buf-fet for $14. Buf-fet is provided by Romer’s Catering.
