Opposition to Mining Project grows

State of Troy Schools - Good

�e Troy City Schools are �lled with “good kids, doing really good things,” Super-intendent Eric Herman said during the annual State of the Schools talk April 20.

As with any organization things with the schools, are “not all roses, but we deal with those,” Herman said in his introductory remarks, adding later, “For the most part, 99.9 percent of the time, we have good kids doing real-ly good things.”

Herman outlined a num-ber of those achievements from the state champion girls bowling team to the band making state competition for the 36th year in a row and se-niors receiving scholarships worth more than $3 million.

He also praised the district sta� whose members o�er “a lot of help and support along the way” and the district’s partnerships with area foun-dations, the library, Lincoln Community Center and the city, among others.

Areas of discussion within the district include, as always, funding, Herman said.

�ere’s also the state Start Talking program in which parents are told to talk to their kids and take measures such as reviewing their phones.

In addition, there’s always state testing, an area Herman said continues to evolve. “It has been kind of a mess … (but) is starting to get better,” he said.

Security continues to be at the forefront with new build-ing cameras purchased with a state grant.

A major topic for the Board of Education is the age of the district’s build-ings, Herman said. �ey range from the 103-year-old Van Cleve (addition in 1930, renovations in 2006) to the 44-year-old Troy Junior High

Troy City Council and its park and recreation boards heard a proposal Monday, April 25, to put an estimated 2-mill levy for recreation facil-ities on the November ballot.�e council agreed unani-mously that more answers areneeded before a decision ismade on asking for tax dollars.

A proposal by an Opera-tion Recreation 2020 commit-tee for a tax levy to generate $8 million for �elds at Duke Park and improvements to the Senior Citizens Center and Miami Shores Golf Course was �rst disclosed Friday in a meeting notice to council.

�e organizations/stake-holders in Operation Recre-ation have pledged another $4 million toward the $14 million in projects as part of a pub-lic-private partnership. City money, donations and grants would make up the balance.

�e organizations are: Troy Junior Baseball, Midwest Ohio Baseball, Troy Chris-tian High School, Troy High School So�ball, Troy Junior Trojans Baseball, Troy Post 43 and Troy TL Boosters Inc., Troy Soccer Club, Troy Senior Services Center and the city’s Miami Shores Golf Course.

�e proposal calls for the

A permit application hasn’t been �led yet but oppo-nents of a proposed limestone surface mining operation o� Farrington and Experiment Farm roads north of Troy al-ready are at work.

Signs urging “Stop the Pit” can be seen along roads in the area of the proposed site in Washington Township and Miami County Farm Bureau members last week organized an information meeting at the

Troy-Miami County Public Library.

Dale Arnold, director of energy, utility and local gov-

ernment policy at the Ohio Farm Bureau, was on hand to share knowledge on the process used to review and eventually approve or deny a mining project.

Arnold emphasized that neither he nor the state Farm Bureau have a position on the local proposal.

County Farm Bureau members at the meeting, attended by more than 40 people, said they would be working on a policy on the proposal.

Tom Hartzell, who owns land nearby, told meeting at-tendees to help themselves to the stack of “Stop the Pit” signs he had in his truck in the parking lot.

During his presentation, Arnold said those opposing the project need to do their homework and to realize they have time to collect concrete evidence supporting their po-sition.

A recurring theme through the process will be the need to “prove it,” Arnold said.

“�is is not going to be a popularity contest,” he said. “You have to back up your claims with research. You can’t go into a hearing and say, ‘I just don’t like it.’”

Opposition to the propos-al �rst was aired at a Miami County commissioners meet-ing in late March. Hartzell was one of those speaking.

�e commissioners ap-proved a required designation of truck hauling route for the proposed operation by Piqua Materials. �e vote on wheth-

er the project will be approved locally lies with the county Board of Zoning Appeals.

State law requires the county engineer’s o�ce to make a recommendation to the commissioners on the preferred haul routes for a proposed operation before an application for a conditional use permit is �led with the appeals board.

Arnold said a number of other agencies could be in-

Troy Christian High School is performing be-loved musical Bye Bye Birdie for their spring production, �ursday, April 28 through Saturday, April 30. �e orig-inal 1960 Broadway hit won a Tony Award inspiring the 1963 �lm and 1965 televi-sion show.

�e high school-themed satire was, in many ways, the predecessor of popular mu-sical successes like Grease, High School Musical, and Glee. Based on a book by Michael Stewart, script by Lee Adams, and music by Charles Strouse, the story is about teenage heart-throb and superstar Conrad Birdie who is dra�ed into the mil-itary. As one last publicity stunt, Birdie’s agent, Albert Peterson, sets up his last performance of a new song “One Last Kiss” in Sweet Ap-ple, Ohio where it would be broadcast on the Ed Sullivan

Show before his departure. One last kiss would then be given to the lucky winner of his fan club drawing, 15 year old high school student Kim MacAfee, who just began a relationship with sweetheart Hugo Peabody. Under the direction of Paige Nichols, a colorful cast of 49 students from grades 7-12 will be bringing the story to life in Troy, Ohio.

“I am always amazed at the talent God brings to our stage every year and the dil-igence I see in their work ethic to see the production to the best we can make it,” Nichols said. Nichols has personally taught high school English and history for 42 years and has directed productions for most of her time at Troy Christian since its founding in 1981. Al-though she o�cially retired 2 years ago, she came back to teach part-time again this year. �is is number 29 in a long list of productions  for her as director.

�is year’s leading roles are played by Tyler Lamb as Conrad Birdie, Bekah Land-fair as Kim MacAfee, Noah Davidson as Hugo Peabody, Wes Alexander as Albert Pe-terson, Caroline Ford as Ros-ie Alvarez, Jenna Grady as Mamma Mae Peterson, Ga-brielle Flannery as Mrs. Do-ris MacAfee, Caleb Anger-er as Mr.Harry MacAfee, Garrison Spatz as Randolph MacAfee.  �e students are enthusiastic about the per-formance. �eater-goers can expect lots of screaming, fainting high school girls and a ton of laughs. According to Nichols, in keeping with Troy Christian High School’s mission, this particular ver-sion of the show is based on “What has God created you to become to make a di�er-ence in the world?  Where is your talent and heart bound?”

High School senior, Ga-brielle Flannery is excited for one more opportunity to perform in a school musical.

“It’s been such a great experi-ence,” Flannery said. “We’ve put in a lot of e�ort but, in the end, it’s so totally worth it.” �e students auditioned in January and had 2-hour daily rehearsals until the last two weeks when Nichols said they practiced from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Stage crew,set design and construction,and lighting/sound were allvolunteer and student work.“We expect our audience tosee God’s handiwork in ourstudents,” Nichols said. “�at is why we have student-ledchapels, student-led back-stage, tech crews, props andset construction.    We wantthem to see Jesus throughour outreach to the commu-nity.”

For more information or tickets for the upcoming performances of this year’s spring musical at Troy Chris-tian, please visit their website at troychristianschools.org or call their o�ce during school hours at 937-339-5692.

It does not matter if the vehicle is licensed or not.

Furthermore, the resolu-tion does not apply to licensed

scrap metal processing facil-ities, motor vehicle salvage dealers or auctions, or towing and recovery businesses as long as the aforementioned businesses are bona �de com-mercial operations. Accord-ing to Trustee Tom Mercer, “We are not in the business of policing junk vehicles. Action will only be taken when a res-ident complains.”

�e complete resolution will be available for view-ing on the Concord Town-ship homepage: www.con-cord-township.com.

�e trustees also approved the purchase of a 2016 4700 SF Dump Truck from Kinstle Sterling/Western Star Truck

Center for $76,057. �e truck will replace a 1999 Interna-tional. �ey also approved a payment to Kalida Truck Equipment for $47,624 for parts and labor to out�t the truck.

In other business, Trustee Don Pence reported that the Regional Air Pollution Con-trol Agency (RAPCA) regu-lations have changed for out-door burning. �e size of an allowed �re has been reduced from the current four feet by four feet to three feet or less in diameter and two feet or less in height for the allowed total fuel area. In addition, an open �re must be at least 25 feet from a structure. If the

�re is contained, it must be 15 feet from a structure. He noted that the website will be updated to re�ect the new ruling. Pence also added, “If a resident has a complaint, they should contact RAPCA directly. �e agency will re-spond immediately.”

In addition, the trustees received a request from a commercial business next to Barbee Park to remove a clus-ter of three trees that over-hang onto the adjacent prop-erty. Road Superintendent Neil Rhoades will get an es-timate for the removal of the trees and the cost for small-er replacement trees. Pence said, “If the business wants to

pay for the tree removal and replacement, we will do the work.”

In the road report, Rhoad-es reported that once again, he has worked out a deal with �e City of Troy to exchange road-cleaning services for mowing services. Troy has swept the township roads and collected 7.5 tons of hazard-ous waste, which was taken to the transfer station.

In addition, Rhoades re-ported that the road crews have been picking up trash along the township roads. So far, they have collected a full load of plastic bottles, brush and trash.

Rhoades also reported

that he has been working with Engineering Technician Don Baker regarding the disposal of water from sump pumps in the Shenandoah subdivision. One resident has agreed to pay the cost to route his sump pump runo� underground to a nearby catch basin. How-ever, Rhoades said, “We can’t require residents to be routed underground into the sew-er system. Regulations allow water from a sump pump to be drained directly onto a yard.”

�e next meeting of the Concord Township Trustees is scheduled for May 3, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. in the Concord Township Building.

�e proposed primary truck haul route was outlined by Paul Huelskamp, county

engineer, and approved by commissioners March 29.

�e primary ingress and egress from the site would be on the west side of Ex-periment Farm Road, about 650 feet south of Farrington Road. �e primary route to and from the proposed site was identi�ed as Experiment Farm Road to Farrington

Road to County Road 25A and on to Interstate 75.

Information submitted to the engineer’s o�ce on be-half of Piqua Materials states the proposal is for 93 acres. �e mining operation would be for extracting, crushing, screening and stockpiling limestone and related mineral products.

ing to the �rm and did not turn them over to the �rm,” said John Arnold, an assis-tant Warren County prose-cutor, appointed as special prosecutor in the case.

�e amount taken re-mains in dispute but Ar-nold said it is in excess of $60,000.

Jeremy Tomb, Albright’s lawyer, told Judge Christo-pher Gee there was no plea bargain in the case.

Gee heard the plea, or-dered a presentence investi-gation and set sentencing for May 31. Albright remains free on a recognizance bond with the condition he does not engage in the practice of law. An Ohio State Bar As-sociation representative also attended the hearing.

Tomb said following the hearing that Albright had no comment.

In a statement released following the hearing, the Roberts, Kelly and Bucio law �rm said it expected “signi�cantly more” crim-

inal charges but was “re-lieved that there has �nally been some resolution to this matter.”

�e law �rm reported the the� allegations to the Troy Police Department in Au-gust 2014.

“Furthermore, RKB per-sonally reached out to the victims to apologize for Mr. Albright’s misconduct and to let them know the part-ners at the �rm would per-sonally handle their case at no additional expense,” the �rm said in the statement.

Albright also pleaded guilty April 14 in Shelby County Common Pleas Court to one felony of forg-ery. Four other felonies of the same charge were dis-missed.

�at case involved forg-ery of documents in a cus-tody case in 2014. Albright faces up to one year in pris-on and a $2,500 �ne in that case. Sentencing in Shelby County is scheduled for June 10.

Something is going on at the Miami County Solid Waste and Recycling Facili-ty, also known as the Trans-fer Station.

Actually, a variety of ac-tivities are taking place at the facility located o� County Road 25A between Troy and Piqua as services have ex-panded over the years from the disposal of trash generat-ed across the county.

An average of 300 cus-tomers are served daily, six days a week, said Lauren Karch, county solid waste manager.

�e station is the desig-nated drop o� facility for trash from residents and commercial haulers before a contractor transports it to a land�ll.

It also hosts a variety of recycling programs from free residential recycling to an expanded household hazardous waste drop o� program.

In 2015, the station re-ceived 86,958.43 tons of solid waste and recycled 2,597.45 tons of materials, according to statistics pro-vided by the county Sanitary Engineering Department.

To spread the word of services, the Sanitary Engi-neering Department sta� this year has undertaken a more aggressive advertising program that includes new billboards and a brightly colored banner on a station fence promoting the hazard-ous waste drop o�.

“�e idea is we don’t want people to throw these hazardous things into the garbage,” said Karch. “Hope-fully we will see a lot more tra�c this year.”

�e hazardous waste drop o� is being held weekly April through October.

To accommodate that program, the county pur-chased a hazardous waste storage unit so sta� can store material a�er Wednesday drop-o�s until a disposal

contractor picks it up. A $1 per pound charge (the same as in past) is made to cover the cost of having the waste picked up.

�e facility sta� also works with businesses and schools on spreading the word about recycling op-tions and bene�ts.

“One thing I have stressed is how business-es can actually save a little money by recycling,” Karch said. “We have had a couple of businesses, schools reach out to see how they can re-cycle more.”

Sta� also reaches out to schools annually with a re-cycling education program for students and grants for teachers for activities such as recycling containers or visits to a recycling education-al facility in Montgomery County, said Doug Evans, assistant sanitary engineer. �e department also holds a recycled materials ornament project each holiday season.

A glass-recycling pro-gram is possible with an Environmental Protection Agency grant and a working relationship with RT Indus-tries, said Paul Huelskamp, the county sanitary engi-neer.

�e grant pays part of the cost to haul glass to a Dayton recycling facility and a por-tion is used for a local bar and restaurant glass recy-cling program. �e program provides containers to some bar and restaurants, mostly in Troy, to collect glass.

“Glass is heavy and you pay by the ton so if you can take the glass out of the waste stream and recycle, that is going to be less tons that you bring in” for dispos-al, Huelskamp said.

�e glass is collected weekly by workers from RT Industries. �e same group provides pick up of recycling materials at events such as the county fair.

Among programs o�ered to county residents at the fa-cility:

Residential recycling drop o�: Free, open to all residents and primarily used by residents living in rural, unincorporated areas of county where curbside recycling programs are not available.

Residential paint drop o�: County residents can bring up to 15 gallons of household latex and oil base paint daily to be solidi�ed for disposal. �e standard tipping fee is charged.

Electronics recycling: Residents can drop o� old computer monitors, PCs, printers, stereos and speak-ers for recycling. Tipping fee charged.

Residential light bulb recycling: Residents can bring up to 10 household light bulbs per day to be re-cycled – �uorescent tubes of four and eight feet, HID bulbs and incandescent bulbs. Tipping fee charged.

Battery recycling: All residential and automotive types of batteries accepted with tipping fee applied.

Tree trimmings: Yard waste and tree trimmings are accepted at the regular tipping fee. �is is ground into landscape mulch.

Appliance Freon re-moval and recycling: Non-working Freon-con-taining appliances can be recycled. �e charge to have Freon removed is $10 per appliance plus the standard tipping fee.

Tire recycling: Passen-ger car tires are $3 each plus the weight, truck tires are $6 plus the weight and farm tires, $20 plus the weight.

�e department also works with other public of-�ces in the county to provide a drop o� for medical sharps and lancets. �e other loca-tions for that service are the Public Health Department, Tipp City Police Depart-ment and the Piqua Police Department.

A Troy man who told police he was downloading child por-nography to send to the FBI was s e nt e n c e d M o n d a y , April 25, to seven years in prison.

B i l l y H e n s l e y , 38, plead-ed guilty in March to 10 felony counts of pandering obsceni-ty involving a minor in Miami County Common Pleas Court.

Troy police said Henley’s ac-tivity was discovered by a detec-tive participating in a child por-nography task force. Hensley’s comment was made to police executing a search warrant. He said he wanted to provide infor-mation “so that something could be done about the problem,” ac-cording to the police report.

Despite pleading guilty Hensley maintained he was col-lecting information for police in his remarks to Judge Jeannine Pratt at sentencing.

He claimed he was trying to understand child pornography a�er a relative was a victim of abuse.

“I am sorry it came to this ... �ere is no excuse,” he said.

Pratt said Hensley ‘s behavior was “abhorrent,” adding, “this was no accident.”

Richard Terrel, 36, of Troy, is charged in the mur-der of William York Sr., whose remains were found June 3, 2015, in a Kentucky creek. Earnshaw-York and Terrel were arrested in his truck earlier that day in Butler Township, Mont-gomery County.

Tipp City police said relatives of William York Sr. reported him missing earlier that week. County Prosecutor Tony Kendell said that he died May 26 of blunt force trauma to the back of the head.

Earnshaw-York made no comments during Mon-day’s hearing beyond an-swering questions from Gee in a quiet voice.

�e receiving sto-len property charges in-volved guns stolen from York Sr.’s home while the drug charge against Earn-shaw-York had been �led earlier last year by Tipp

City police, accusing Earn-shaw-York of possessing heroin.a

Kendell and defense lawyer Steve King declined comment following Mon-day’s hearing.

Earnshaw-York faces up to 9 1/2 years in prison at sentencing June 7.

Gee said Monday that Kendell and King contin-ued to negotiate a possible recommended sentence. A possible recommended sentence was the only plea agreement, the judge said. He would not be bound by any recommendation.

In addition to murder, Terrel is charged with fe-lonious assault, tamper-ing with evidence, abuse of a corpse and receiving stolen property. He has �led a motion to suppress statements made to police shortly a�er his arrest. A decision on that motion has not been �led.

Both Terrel and Earn-shaw-York remain jailed in lieu of bail.

Hayner wraps up poetry celebration

THS Art selected for Congressional Art Competition

¡Bienvenido de vuelta!

It could be a New Jersey college student making 3-D plastic dental aligners to �x his crooked teeth, Turbo-Roo, the Chihuahua who was born with a birth defect that le� him without his two front legs, being �tted with a customized dog wheelchair, a high school student mak-ing a part to repair a smart phone charger, or printing your own gremlin or minion �gurine -- these projects can all be completed thanks to a machine called a 3-D printer. Lately, stories are in the news about di�erent examples of someone using a 3-D print-er to either make their life or someone else’s life easier.

3-D printing got its start in the late 1980s and the ear-ly 1990s with a process called R.P., or Rapid Prototyping that allowed manufacturers to make a product and test it out within days or hours of coming up with a new de-sign. However, the earliest development for 3-D print-ing occurred in the 1990s when Massachusetts Insti-tute of Technology (MIT), partnered with a company called 3D Systems. In the early 90s, MIT gave it the

trademark name 3-D Print-ing or 3-DP. According to HowStu�Works, as of Feb-ruary 2011, MIT has granted licenses to six companies to use and promote the 3DP process in its products.

Recently, this type of tech-nology has started become increasingly prominent in everyday life. THS and the Upper Valley Career Cen-

ter Exploring Technology instructor, Mr. Clendening, explained how 3-D printing is making the seemingly im-possible, possible.

“We take an image that we create on a CAD (comput-er-aided design) program, and we have a program that converts the image into code and then that code is fed into the printer and it tells

the printer how to move to print the design. �e print-er actually moves in an XYZ axis, or three dimensionally, and has a plastic wire that it feeds through. It then melts the plastic and lays it down in the pattern designed,” ex-plained Clendening.

When it comes to what a 3-D printer can make, Clen-dening said simply, every-thing. While there’s no limit to what can be made, there are limits on what materials can be used to print.

“Most printers are dealing with plastic materials. �ere are some that are using met-als, but the technology hasn’t advanced far enough where it’s a�ordable. �ey haven’t been able to do hard metals like steel,” emphasized Clen-dening.

Troy High School has a Makerbot brand 3-D print-er that’s owned by �e Up-per Valley Career Center. �e printer cost $2,000 and students have been learning from it for two years.

“We go through and we learn how to make drawings on the CAD program, Solid-Works and when we make a 3-D model of something, in-stead of seeing it on a screen students can actually build it

TROY - As graduation draws near, seniors at Troy High School busy them-selves with preparations. �eir eyes are alight with ex-citement, the future almost within their grasps. Among the happiest of the soon-to-be graduates are seniors Jared Sherrick and Mariana Huerta who were noti�ed that they have earned the honorable titles of valedicto-rian and salutatorian for the class of 2016.

Placing �rst and second in their class, it is obvious to teachers and peers alike that these two are the best of the best. �eir work ethic and dedication to learning have carried them to the top; four years of hard work �nally paying o�. �e titles are awarded not based on class rank, which is deter-mined by GPA, but by quar-ter grades. Because of this,

and the exclusion of exam grades, the valedictorian may not be in �rst place and the salutatorian may not be in second.

Jared Sherrick, lifelong resident of Troy, explained that he was surprised to learn that he was valedicto-rian.

“I know the race was very close throughout most of junior and senior year, so coming out in �rst feels ab-solutely incredible. I couldn’t be happier.”

Sherrick claims that

he owes his success to the support of his family, his dedication to learning and his tendency to never shy away from a challenge. He has taken as many AP and honors classes as he could throughout his high school career and his favorite class is just a testament of his love of di�cult problem solving.

“My favorite class is AP Calculus BC. I love math and problem solving, and I’d like to think I’m pretty good at it every once in a while.”

As if high level classes

weren’t enough to keep him busy, Sherrick has also oc-cupied his time staying ac-tive within the school and community. He has been in the Troy band program since sixth grade, he played football for two years, and is an Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America. He has also been involved with Reading Buddies, Pen Pals, Math Club, National Hon-or Society, and he joined Xtreme Bots his this year.

In addition to the honor of being named valedicto-rian, Sherrick has also been awarded the Rensselaer Mathematics Award and the Honda OSU Mathematics Award.

Sherrick plans on attend-ing �e Ohio State Univer-sity to study Aerospace En-gineering with a focus on Astronautical Engineering. He hopes to someday work with NASA or SpaceX to implement cheap, globally

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Febru-ary is Black History Month, and April is National Poet-ry Month. Hayner Cultural Center will be hosting their 6th annual poetry competi-tion and reading this month. Although submissions are al-

Troy High School stu-dents’ art has been in the halls and even shown around Troy at places like the Hayner Cultural Center. �is year, two female students, sopho-more McKayla Travis and ju-nior Lily Turner, stand out in particular— having their art shown at the Congressional Art Competition.

�e winner of this com-petition will have their art-work displayed in the Capitol building for an entire year. �e two pieces were dis-played at Middletown Arts Center from April 15-20 as

part of the Congressional Art Competition.

McKayla Travis titled her piece entered into the Con-gressional Art Competition, Smuck on a Shelf. �e acryl-ic painting depicts jars of Smucker’s jam on a grocery store shelf. Travis explained she was working on her piece for an impressionism unit through goods of shelves from Wal-Mart.

“Ever since I was little, I always enjoyed drawing for fun,” said Travis, “It makes me feel good knowing some-body thought it was good enough to be recognized.”

Tippecanoe overcomes deficit to defeat Troy

Troy sweeps Butler in GWOC softball games

For the �rst three innings, the Troy baseball team set the tone with four runs against visiting Tippecanoe on a chilly Saturday morning. Just that quick, the Red Devils domi-nated the next three innings to take control of the game, and knock o� the Trojans 8-4 in a non-conference baseball game at Market Street Field in Troy.

With the win, Tipp ran their record to 12-4 overall including their tenth consec-utive win on the season. Troy falls to 8-7 with the loss.

Tippecanoe started o� the scoring in the opening in-ning, as with two outs, Aaron Hughes reached on an error, stole second and came into score when Justyn Eichbaum drove a single through to put the visitors up 1-0.

�e Red Devils came back in the second with a walk to Bradley Calhoun and a following single for Trevor Staggs but the next two batters were retired by Troy’s Hayden Kotwica to keep the de�cit at one run.

In the bottom of the sec-ond, the Trojans took the lead.

With one out, Jake Dan-iel reached on an error, Troy Moore then picked up an in-�eld single, and Alex Riedel drove in Daniel with a single to tie the game at one. Drake McDonagh also reached on another Tipp error which allowed Moore to score and

give the Trojans a 2-1 lead.An inning later, the Tro-

jans added to their lead when Brandon Emery reached on a walk, moved up on a wild pitch, and Jared Bair doubled to have runners at second and third. Consecutive sacri�ce �ies from Austin Barney and Daniel drove in two runs, and the Trojans saw their lead in-crease to 4-1.

From there, it was all Tipp City, as they fought back start-ing in the fourth inning.

Brandon Gotthardt reaced on a one out walk, and with two outs, they went to work. Trevor Staggs reached on an error and following a walk to load the bases, Gotthardt scored on a wild pitch. Cole Barhorst then reached on an in�eld single to score Staggs, and Kraska walked to load the bases. Jacob Ambos walked to force in a run and the game

was tied at 4-4.An inning later, the Red

Devils put the game away. Jus-tyn Eichbaum led o� the ��h with a homerun into the le� �eld bullpen to give Tippe-canoe their eventual game winner. Gotthardt then sin-gled, Bradley Calhoun then reached on a �elders choice and Staggs drove in pinch runner Clay Barhorst with a single. Josh Riebe added a sin-gle and a hit from Cole Bar-horst loaded the bases. Two runs then scored on a �elders choice by Kraska and ensuing error from Troy to put the Red Devils in command 8-4.

Calhoun picked up the win for the Red Devils, while Hayden Kotwica took the loss for the Trojans.

*Also last week, Tippeca-noe defeated Stebbins 8-6 and 11-1 then defeated Graham 12-6.

Troy made it a clean sweep at the Miami County Track Championships last week as they hosted the annual meet. �e boys’ squad scored 192.5 points, while Tippecanoe �n-ished third with 106.5 and Bethel scored 26 points for ninth place.

In the girls’ race, Troy dominated with 203 team points, with Tippecanoe sec-ond overall with 111. Bethel �nished eighth with 33 points and Troy Christian was tenth with four points.

Leading o� in the 100 boys dash was a championship from Jayden Culp-Bishop as the freshman ran an 11.31, with teammates Demarcus Moody third and Austin Ja-cobs placing sixth.

Bishop came back and repeated a �rst-place �nish in the 200 with a 23.01, with Moody second at 24.20, and the Tippecanoe trio of Casey Abney (sixth), Cade Gin-gerich (seventh) and Bryce McCullough (eighth) all earning points.

Troy placed three in the top eight in the 400, as Tim-my Farrier �nished second with a 53.07, with teammate Hayata Nagata third and Ja-cobs was seventh. Tipp’s Ab-ney was ��h.

Stephen Jones had no trouble in the 800, as the Troy senior ran a 2:00.51. Tipp’s

Michael Stearns was fourth with two more Red Devils placing ��h (Zach Dix) and eighth (�omas Chaney).

In the 1600, Mitchell Poy-nter from Tippecanoe along with Jones battled to the end, as Poynter captured the county title with a 4:24.89, and Jones was 4:24.96. Parker Hench of Troy was ��h, Mat-thew Poynter (Tippecanoe) was sixth and Troy’s Seth Plantz.

Jones and Poynter bat-tled again in the 3200, and this time the Troy senior got the upper hand, winning the event in 9:32.92, with Poy-nter second at 9:33.16. Tim Andrews from Tipp was ��h overall and teammate Jordan Brown �nished seventh. Also

Troy defeated Butler in a pair of GWOC North games last week, opening the week with a 6-3 victory, and capped it with a 5-1 victory.

In their second game of two, Camryn Moeller pitched a one-hitter in the win for the Trojans. She only allowed a leado� bunt single to start the game, and didn’t allow another hit.

“It was a clean game for us on defense,” said Troy coach Dan Cain. “We had a couple of throwing errors from our young third base-man but that was likely due to nerves. Outside of that we were solid defensively. We

played great small ball and ran the bases well.”

Moeller led o� the game with a double and came around to score on an er-ror to lead o� things for the Trojans o�ense. Natalie Henson delivered with three hits for Troy, while Lainee Poling and Josie Rohlfs each reached on two bunt hits.

On the prior day, the Tro-jans used a solid �ve innings from Hallie Snyder, with good relief from Henson and Hannah Wright in the win.

“We did a lot of small ball stu� again, and played good defense,” Cain said.

�e Tecumseh tennis team continued their sol-id play this season with a tough 3-2 victory over Cath-olic Central last week to earn their seventh win of the sea-son.

At the �rst singles spot, Mitchell Foland defeated Kelly 6-3, 6-3, while at sec-

ond singles, it was Michael Green with an easy 6-1, 6-2 win over Kavanaugh. Tecum-seh did lose the third singles spot, as Anton Brehmer lost to Brougher 7-5, 6-2.

At the �rst doubles spot, Will Sims and Allen Eban gave Tecumseh the decid-ing victory as they defeated

and see it in their hands,” ex-plained Clendening.

Clendening said that having a 3-D printer expos-es the students to the new-er technologies that are out there and gives them the ability to explore those �rst-hand. Students have a di�er-ent perspective.

Brodey Carman, a fresh-man at THS, used the print-er to make a docking station for his iPhone. “I think it could be used for a lot of helpful things,” Carman said.

THS sophomore, and �rst-time 3-D printer user, Ethan Burns. made a dog tag. Burns says the impact of having a 3-D printer is that the process of making things will be faster.

Consumers interested in

purchasing a 3-D printer, have many options available at every price range. �e Da Vinci Jr. 1.0 3D Printer for $349.99 is an option at the lower end of price range. A higher end printer, the Ul-timaker 2+ 3D Printer runs for $2,499.00. Both printers are available on Amazon.

�e advantages of a 3-D printer are truly remarkable. A blind mother-to-be could look at her unborn baby, a boy born without one of his hands could get a hand, and even a child born with a defective heart can change what would have normally been a death sentence twen-ty years ago, into a routine medical procedure. �ese are all examples of how when it comes to 3-D print-ing, the sky is truly the limit.

Mariana Huerta, the class of 2016’s salutatorian, also plans on focusing her atten-tion on math and science in college to become an engi-neer at the University of Tex-as at Dallas.

When she learned that she was to be salutatorian, she said that she was very happy and honored.

“I’ve been working very

hard and doing the best I could in everything I’ve been involved in. It really helped that my parents were so sup-portive of me.”

Huerta, like Sherrick, has been involved in many school and community ac-tivities. President of the Math Club, she is also a member of Key Club, National Honor Society and Latin Club. She works part time at the Miami County Public Library and has competed on the cross country and swim teams. In

addition to those activities, she also found time to partic-ipate in the Reading Buddies and Pen Pals programs.

Salutatorian is only one of many honors she has been given in her high school ca-reer. She has also received the National Hispanic Recogni-tion Award, the Franklin V. Walter All-Scholastic Award, has been recognized as a Na-tional Merit Scholar Finalist and has consistently been on honor roll.

Both students are highly

deserving of the titles they have been given and they en-courage the students in the classes below them to work as hard as they can and be involved in as much as pos-sible.

“I think my drive to learn drove me the most,” Sherrick said. “I have always placed learning ahead of earning a desired grade. I believe re-sults will always follow where one’s passion lies.”

Huerta added, “Just doing what you’re supposed to is a big step, but to be your best you always need to take that a step further. Spend an ex-tra hour studying at night, go in early or stay a�er school to ask teachers for help, do whatever you can to under-stand and excel in your class-es.”

Graduation for the Trojan class of 2016 will take place on Saturday, May 28 at Ho-bart Arena.

always been interested in art their entire lives; both artistically talented girls have had their other pieces shown at the Hayner before.

However, Travis would one day like to become a doctor for the military at a military base outside of the United States.

An ink drawing by Lily Turner titled Day and Night; Split Skies shows lettered tiles spelling out “Day and Night” with mountains, a sun, and a moon in the dis-tance. Turner says the inspi-ration for her piece was due to her recent fascination of

the moon and mountains.“I had no idea my art

would make it so far, just being entered was some-thing I only ever dreamed of,” said Turner, “this is the biggest thing I have ever achieved in my life, and I am honored.”

Turner says she has seemed to really buck-le down when it comes to art over the past �ve years. One day she would like to become either a graph-ic designer or an artist for Marvel, which is why she wanted to focus on art more recently.

how much of an in�uence she had with those students she decided that she wanted to continue being a positive in�uence by becoming a Spanish teacher. A�er grad-uating from THS with the class of 2011 and later at-tending Miami University, she returns to the familiar halls of THS to hopefully make an impact on the stu-dents she will be teaching.

Returning to Troy High

School, Hu�man expe-rienced the friendly and family-like atmosphere of the school that she always seemed to love about her alma mater.

“I was greeted by some teachers that I had my soph-omore year and I found it crazy that they still remem-ber me a�er all these years,” said Hu�man, who remi-nisced on her past years of high school.

Hu�man did not always want to be a Spanish teach-er, growing up her dream job was to be a veterinarian.

“When I was little I would always take in the stray an-imals in my neighborhood and try to take care of them,” she said with a few laughs as the nostalgia of her child-hood kicked in.

For the time being, Hu�-man has some advice for the students who are currently

taking a foreign language: “Stick with learning a for-eign language, it makes you more marketable when you graduate and critical think-ing can really help you in the long run.”

If you see Ms. Hu�man in the halls, greet her in the hallways and remember that she was just like you just a few years ago. Welcome back to the Trojan Family, Ms. Hu�man.

Youth will have the opportunity to build their own rocket.

Christine Moser won the pole vault, as the Troy sophomore vaulted 10-feet. Troy’s Lilli Cusick was third with Tippe-canoe’s Jaclyn Bashore placing fourth and Lora Current from Troy Christian placing ��h. Sydnie Ferguson from Troy also �nished seventh.

Winning another shot put event was Troy’s Walters with a toss of 38’7.25”, with her teammate Alaura Holycross placing third. Finally in the discus, Tipp’s Carissa Ferrell placed sixth.

�e Miami Valley Vet-eran’s Museum just opened and dedicated a new gallery honoring local veteran and faithful museum volunteer and trustee, Herb Schlatter. �e theme of the museum is “they shall not be forgotten,” a �tting mission for the new-est space which exhibits a variety of memorabilia from American servicemen and women in various foreign �elds from WWI to more re-cent tours of duty. �e new

gallery o�cially opened with a ribbon cutting ceremony on April 6, 2016; howev-er, a formal dedication oc-curred last Saturday, April 23 in memory of the gallery’s namesake.

Schlatter began volun-teering for the museum in 2011, a year a�er it had opened in its old location at Stouder Hospital. When the museum moved to the Franklin Masonic Lodge in downtown Troy sever-al years ago, he became the museum’s most avid pro-

ponent of refurbishing the 1,300 square foot space that used to be a lounge and bil-liard room. While it was undergoing renovations in February, Schlatter and his family learned that he had cancer. In late March, he was told he had only 6-8 weeks le� to live. He passed away on April 7 at the age of 74. He was never able to see the completed exhibit but knew of the museum’s intention to name the gallery a�er him.

Museum director Mitch Fogle viewed the naming

of the new gallery as a me-morial not only to Schlat-ter’s service as an Air Force cavalryman but to his de-votion in honoring military veterans through opening the museum each Saturday, participating in every muse-um event, and guiding tours. “Herb believed in the mis-sion of this place and what we are here for,” Fogle said. “He never missed an oppor-tunity to support what we were doing and loved shar-

Cody Heichel, the renowned Columbus-based watercolor artist, has donated a cityscape painting to be part of the live art auction serving as a major fundraiser supporting Health Partners Free Clinic, located in Troy. �e event has been set for May 4.

�e Seventh Annual Heal-ing Jar Gala dinner and art auction will be held at the Pi-qua Country Club beginning at 5:30 p.m. Funds raised from the event will provide contin-ued support for the sole free clinic having served Miami County for 16 years.

For the second year, clin-ic leaders are joining with the Piqua Arts Council (PAC) in a cooperative e�ort to help those in need locally. PAC Executive Director Jordan Knepper said the council and artists believe in the services provided by Health Partners and welcome the collaboration.

Knepper said Heichel is one of the top “up and coming wa-tercolorists known in the art world.” He stated the artist’s work are highly sought-a�er pieces to own and anticipates them to increase in value as Heichel continues his art.

�e 32-year-old Heichel

was named a Signature Mem-ber of the Ohio Watercolor So-ciety two years ago. �e honor made him one of the youngest people to be named to such a post. He is also an Associate Member of the American Wa-tercolor Society.

Heichel has received the People’s Choice Award at ARC Ohio’s 2014 Art for Life bene-�t, as well as the Ohio Water-color Society’s Merit Award. Most recently he was awarded First Place in the Columbus �rough A Lens Competition.

According to information

on his website at www.codyhe-ichel.com, he “uses bold colors and high-contrast tonality to create atmospheric interpreta-tions of daily, and recognizable, scenery. Heichel aims to cap-ture the mood and movement of his subjects through quick, spontaneous brushwork.

“�e individual strokes that make up his compositions seem arbitrary and �uid. Mysterious �gures o�en occupy the focal point of each composition, and it is through their individual appearance and body language, as well as the language of their surroundings, that the story of each scene unfolds. Urban cityscapes, rural settings, and national and international lo-cales provide his inspiration.”

Heichel also works as an Art Facilitator and Habilitation Coordinator at Open Door Art Studio in Columbus, a non-pro�t working studio and gallery space for adult artists with physical and developmen-tal disabilities.

Several local artists and oth-ers from throughout Ohio have donated items to the clinic for the event. Information about the artists and their work can

Gardening Commentaryfrom MVG

Planting basics�ere will be many trees and

shrubs planted this spring by home owners to improve the appear-ance of their pr operty and for their personal enjoyment. It is pleasur-able but also time consuming to go to your favorite nursery or gar-den center to make your selections, take the plants home and then get them planted. �en consider the cost of the plants, soil amendments and the time that will be spent wa-tering and taking care of any new additions. All this is flushed if some very basic planting techniques are not followed when we are actu-ally planting trees and shrubs or properly maintaining them for the months that follow. �is invest-ment can be secured and protected by following the basics of planting.

We should prepare a $100 dol-

lar hole when we are planting*. To do this the plant should be plant-ed in an area where the soil is well drained. You can test the drainage by digging a small hole 8” deep and filling it with water to see how fast it is absorbed into the ground. �is water should be absorbed within a couple of hours and certainly not longer than 12 hours. If this doesn’t occur there could be a problem having plants grow well or even survive in this area. Next, when digging the hole, be sure it is 18” wider, 9” on each side of the root ball to the edge of the hole. �at’s right, the hole needs to be much wider than the root mass, and the hole should never “fit” the root ball like a glove. Never dig the hole deeper than the root ball, that’s the good news. We should not dig the hole deeper or loosen the soil under the plant because we do not want

to risk the plant settling after it is planted.

Once the hole is prepared it is time to double check for prop-er depth by placing the plant in the hole. �e top of the plant root ball should be about an inch above the edge of the hole. Remove any pot from the plant. Remove bur-lap from around the top of the root ball once it is in the hole. [Be sure that the root ball of any container plant is well watered before plant-ing.] Once you have all the “hole” items double checked it is time to combine one third of the best soil removed from the hole with a form or organic matter like Canadian sphagnum peat moss, your own compost, Sweet Peet® or Grow-er’s Choice pine fines. Any of these materials will improve your soil so the roots of the new plant will be able to spread easily into the sur-

rounding soil and keep the back fill from becoming compacted. Espo-ma’s Bio Tone® starter plus should be incorporated with the back fill. Use any extra soil to make a saucer around the planting hole to retain water when watering the plant in the future.

Now that the plant is “planted” it is time to water adequately so the root ball and all the backfill is completely hydrated. Water slowly until the hole is totally filled with water. �e next time it will be nec-essary to water will be determined by the weather but normally at least once a week for the next cou-ple of months.

Frog Walk-Miami County

It’s April. Time for a frog walk. If you’re not sure about what that

is, here’s a clue. Medway has a cor-ner where the nightly din of hun-dreds of frogs and peepers can be heard as one sits at the traffic light at Lower Valley Pike and Gerlaugh Road.

A frog walk is much more than sounds carried on nightly air though. Our neighbor, Miami County Park District holds its an-nual Frog Walk on April 15 at Garb-ry Big Woods Sanctuary, south of Fletcher. At 8:30 pm, registered participants will join a park dis-trict naturalist and head into an evening full of croaks, ribbets, cheeps, peeps and otherwise frog-gy sounds. As sundown slowly seeps into the woods, flashlights will pick up tiny eyes and a few splashes as amphibious residents take note of their human visitors.

For details and registration go to the website for Miami County

Parks and look under programs/events. A calendar will come up. Find the Frog Walk, click on and register. Take note of instructions for time, parking, appropriate shoes and flashlight. To speak with a person, call the Admin/Office at 937-335-6273.

If you’re not a night person, by all means visit the sanctuary during the day when you can see and hear all the earth has to offer in a place where birds and wildlife are abun-dant. Staying on the boardwalk is a must. Go slow. Breathe in a differ-ent kind of air. Listen to a differ-ent kind of voice. Take your time, benches are there for a reason.

�e first time my mother and I visited the sanctuary, Ohio’s offi-

cial wildflowers, the great white trillium, were at their best. Mom had an affinity for wildflowers and wrote below her photograph of them, “White trillium in abun-dance, in all my life, have not seen such profusion.”

�at was back in 1999. Seven-teen years later the wildflowers are still amazing and are the earth’s reminders of Mom and her love of all living things. When Doug and I visited the sanctuary this past week, life was in high gear. As chickadees, nuthatches, song spar-rows, and all sorts of woodpeck-ers moved about, overhead a pair of red tail hawks drifted in circles on swirling, warm, soft air cur-rents. From all directions came the

croaks of frogs. Besides trillium, spring beauties

dotted the forest floor. Green leaves were beginning to open on haw-thorn, American elm and horn-beam trees. Green, green moss grew up between the boardwalk boards and around trees. Even the occasional butterfly was to be seen.

�e point of a sanctuary is to provide a place for local birds and wildlife to live in safety. For hu-mans it can be a place of retreat and calmness. Sitting on one of the nu-merous benches provided along the boardwalk brings that feeling of calm into focus. It is a world of meditating and hope and sounds of a real life that is worlds beyond anything outside the sanctuary’s a cres.

Miami County has fourteen re-serves listed where one can find that calmness, that hope and all those frogs and spring peepers making it known that it’s time to be out and about. �is land is at its best.

Financial FocusProvided by Matt Buehrer, Thrivent Financial

You bought the policy…now what?Knowing your policies supports

healthy financial strategies

Purchasing proper insurance

coverage is an important part of a

healthy financial picture. Howev-

er, with many policies, staying en-

gaged ensures you have adequate

coverage as your life changes.

As life changes, your insurance

needs can also change. Particu-

larly with long-term care insur-

ance, reviewing your coverage

on an ongoing basis helps en-

sure you and your loved ones are

financially protected from risks

associated with extended medi-

cal needs. If you bought coverage

10 years ago for example, meet-

ing with a financial professional

to make sure the policy still offers

the protection you need for now

and the future is essential to you

and your family.

Some policies, like whole life in-

surance, require minimal engage-

ment after purchase. If those pol-

icies are attractive to you, your

financial professional can help

guide you toward an option that

best meets your needs.

A good plan is to meet with your

financial professional for insur-

ance “check-ups” annually. A fi-

nancial professional can help you

assess if the policies are still ap-

propriate and are fulfilling their

appropriate role in your personal

financial strategy. They are also

abreast on the latest changes in

the regulatory landscape and can

help guide you toward newer op-

tions that are often created as fi-

nancial regulations change.

When you review your policies,

Thrivent Financial recommends

asking these questions:

• What kind of financial protec-

tion do I need?

• Do I have the right amount and

type of insurance?

• Do I have the right beneficiaries

designated?

• Is my family aware of my poli-

cies?

• Do I have other financial areas

that require attention and pro-

tection?

• Is my level of coverage appro-

priate?

• Am I clear on the terms of my

contract?

These types of meetings can

ensure that when it comes time

to collect benefits on your poli-

cy, everything meets your expec-

tations.

As it is appropriate, you should

also review pertinent policies that

family members hold and make

sure they’re still appropriate.

Raising the subject may create

some momentary awkwardness,

but it is far better to discuss poli-

cies and options ahead of time to

ensure that nothing is missed or

forgotten when it comes time to

claim insurance benefits.

Some sample questions in-

clude:

• Do you have insurance cover-

age? If so, what kind?

• Where can we find your policy

information in case you need

help from us if/when you acti-

vate your policy?

• How can we contact your finan-

cial professional? Your insur-

ance company?

• Are there any special require-

ments in your policy that we

should know about?

Taking the time to evaluate your

coverage and talk with your family

about your insurance policies is a

good way to make sure your ben-

efits meet your expectations and

are there when needed.

TIPP CITY POLICE RETIRED

Police BurnoutA law enforcement officer (LEO)

of about 15 years’ experience flat out asked me how I keep a good at-titude after being in police work so long. He/she was asking if I ever ex-perienced a period of burnout in my career. Most importantly I did not slough it off with a shrug and unin-terested attitude. I know this is a very serious question for a LEO and can lead to depression, drinking, and bad attitudes.

Rather than to tell my compatriot what he should do, I told him what I did. The very first burnout I expe-rienced came in my second year as a police and came about by be-ing sued in Civil Court. To find out that there are people out there who would want a police officer fired and to give them thousands of dollars for doing their job just devastated me. I thought I was supposed to be the good guy. Not the defendant.

A summary of the incident is that I was dispatched to assist a neigh-boring PD with a bar fight. Finishing the bar fight I came out into the parking lot and found two officers of the other agency having trouble with a motorist. As we are trained to

do, I stood by as back up. A mere traf-fic violation turned into an arrest for disorderly conduct and then resisting arrest.

The large subject had been a free-dom fighter in his homeland and vowed no government would ever rule over him again. This man was a car-diovascular surgeon. After an internal investigation by both police depart-ments, all officers involved in the ar-rest were cleared of any wrong doing. Witnesses on the scene testified that the police used great restraint and should have made a physical arrest much sooner.

The burnout came when as the law suit progressed; I became more and more worried about the possible con-sequences. The doctor who sued the three officers wanted us fired and wanted a million dollars. Then it was a public apology and half a million. On the day the trial began it was an apol-ogy in the judge’s chambers and attor-

ney fees. We all felt we had done noth-ing wrong so we went to trial and won.

Prior to the trial though, I developed a serious burnout. I made no traffic stops, made no arrests and became very surly. It did help a little to talk with a lawyer who was a part time po-lice officer and he told me a jury would see the truth and find in our favor. But that was his opinion. When the trial finished, I was elated that the system worked. I learned a lot about how the courts work. Slowly my attitude re-turned to normal and I was back ar-resting people.

Another period of burn out occurred after about 10 years at Tipp City. Becoming disillusioned with the at-titude of some other officers, I again went into a funk. Realizing I was al-lowing the petty doings of others to influence me, I decided to re-dedicate myself.

With renewed enthusiasm I began making traffic stops for certain vio-

lations. Window tints, loud mufflers along with people running red lights became my focus of attention. I still wrote the usual speeding cites and so on, but told myself anytime I witnessed a certain violation, I would make a traf-fic stop.

I also began working really hard in both elementary school zones. Parents and grandparents who allowed their children to run across the street with-out using the crosswalk were stopped. Some parents would drive slowly down the street then suddenly stop and mo-tion their child to run between parked cars and get in. Those would get cita-tions. My motto became, “The safety of all the children is paramount to the convenience of your child.”

While working these school zones I would always have some children come out and run over to me to tell me the principle’s joke of the day. I still have some of those jokes written in my police notebook and tell the prisoners

just to hear their groans. Now I am not saying my Italian tem-

per does not rise to the surface still to this day. I can be very mean when I have to. My attitude is now to enjoy life, enjoy work and work my way through any burnout periods.

When you sit and stew on what irri-tates you, time goes very slowly and nothing is solved. When you apply yourself to certain tasks, other op-portunities will arise. A loud muffler stop may turn into a warrant arrest. Listening to a child’s joke may result in a hug that you will remember for a long time.

Treating an inmate like a normal hu-man being in a bad situation may re-sult in a serious thank you at a later time after they have had time to think through their own problems. A burnout is a self-inflicted wound that does not need to happen but when it does, only you can work your way out of it.

Anniversary Recipes

During the next few months we’ll be taking a look at some local history including culinary heritage. For starters, here are recipes from the 1800s era for spring asparagus, fresh eggs, early peas and spring chickens (and older birds). Local kitch-ens prepared these items in a simple yet delicious way.

Remember, cooking was done in the �replace using

skillets, kettles and Dutch ov-ens. Later on came wood-burn-ing stoves with their water res-ervoirs and ovens. �ere were no oven degrees or dials with high, low, simmer. Women came to know their stoves per-sonal idiosyncrasies and could produce all sorts of wonderful dishes.

Wood was chopped and stacked for use year round. Water was hauled from a near-by spring or creek and later came from a hand pump atop a hand-hewed well. Gardens were huge. Many families had two of them-a kitchen garden

for daily use and an acre gar-den for quantities of potatoes, cabbages, onion, turnips, and squash. �us stored in the root cellar, those foods along with apples and nuts and dried and cured meats would ensure the winter’s survival.

Crops and domestic ani-mals were supplemented with wild game and �sh from the many lakes, streams, creeks and Mad River. �e early 1800s was a bountiful time born from hard work and the knowledge that families established here in the Medway area were sure to make a lasting impression on the region.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you have a way to pay for final expenses after you’re gone?

�rivent Financial cites a 2013 study by the National Funeral Directors Associa-tion that estimates the aver-

age funeral now costs more than $8,000. Final expenses are o�en more than just fu-neral costs and can also in-clude expenses such as un-paid medical bills, unpaid debt, immediate household

expenses and even estate settlement costs. With these kinds of expenses and futures thrown into �ux, having a plan for �nal expenses can be one of the most generous acts you can do for you loved ones.

But what about the ex-pense of life insurance? Ac-cording to a 2013 LIMRA study, 86% of respondents say they haven’t bought life insurance due to high costs, yet they overestimate the price by more than double

the quoted costs. Now there are even more simpli�ed options to take care of your family with �nal expense life insurance.

�is type of insurance can be designed as guaran-teed issue, meaning that you may qualify with no under-writing or medical exam; or simpli�ed issue, which asks a few basic health questions- though each insurance policy will vary. It can be an option for you if you have medical issues or needs which pro-

hibit you from obtaining cov-erage.

Many of these products also o�er estate planning trusts associated with them, o�ering options for �nal ex-penses and legacy planning. �is option o�ers your fam-ily and loved ones the oppor-tunity to continue to support causes you care about a�er you’re gone; such as leaving a gi� to your church or a char-ity.

Life insurance truly is one of the most generous gi�s you

can give. In that spirit, work-ing to help protect your loved ones from bearing the costs of your �nal expenses can be an incredible gi� at a very di�cult time. Final expense life insurance can provide for �nal expenses and allow your spirit of generosity to live on.

Police Tip of the Week

BY SGT. JJ MAUROTIPP CITY POLICE RETIRED

Recently a good friend of mine re-ceived a telephone call at work from his cousin. Knowing that my friend is not supposed to take calls at work, he was immediately aware something was wrong in the family. �e two men spoke for a while and it turned out the cousin’s 72 year old mother was miss-ing. My friend is very close to his aunt and was quite upset over the ordeal.

�e aunt has a weekly visit to her son’s house every �ursday. �is al-lows the son and his minister wife the opportunity for a night out togeth-er while grandma has a day with her grandson. �e other grandmother does the same on Tuesday’s so that she has a day with her grandson. �is also helps the parent’s day care costs. It is a great situation and everyone bene�ts.

On this particular �ursday the aunt le� at her usual time on the three hour trip at 1530 hours. As of midnight, she had yet to arrive. Calls to the aunt’s cell phone went directly to voicemail indicating it was either turned o�, the battery was dead or it was broken. Of course this made the situation even worse.

Trying as much as I could to explain plausible explanations when 0700 hours came and there was no word, my friend was really in a sorry state. Ex-plaining that I have seen many of these cases over the years and most all turn out well, we parted. Eight hours later I called my friend and learned the good news that the aunt had been located and was just �ne.

Now what was done to look for the aunt? Her son le� his home and drove the whole three hour trip to his moth-er’s house looking for her along the route she normally takes. Not �nding her at home, he returned to his home, again checking the route she would have taken.

A call was placed to the Ohio State Patrol and they began an investigation. Any police department can start the investigation but because the trip was three hours of back roads in Ohio, the OSP could alert all Troopers along the route.

�e OSP also put out what we call a Law Enforcement BOLO, which is a computer broadcast to all police de-partments in the BOLO area to look for the missing person. A BOLO Alert can be sent to all police in one county, all surrounding counties, a quadrant such as all of Southwest Ohio or and All Points Alert throughout the State of Ohio.

We will not go into the personal de-tails of where the beloved family mem-ber had been, but this is an example of how police can help with a delicate but very serious situation although it is not a criminal investigation.

�is situation o�en happened with me becoming involved when a fam-ily or group traveling together would stop at midnight to gas up and every-one would get out to stretch or use the facilities. When the family le�, they would inadvertently leave someone behind who everyone thought was asleep in the back. We would have to put a BOLO out on the route the fam-ily was taking resulting in them being stopped and told of the situation.

As I told my friend, one possible explanation may be that his aunt just thought it was Wednesday and was spending the evening with her boy-friend, of whom the family was un-aware.

�e weather this spring has been full of surprises from being in the 80’s in March then freezing weather and snow in April, and lately, a record setting period in April for the longest stretch on record of no rain in this month. We all like the sunny weather but remember….”April showers bring May �owers.” �is can be a serious sit-uation for trees and shrubs planted last fall and this spring.

It is important to remember that the root system of anything newly planted is rather small and the roots are concentrated in this small area and because of this situation the soil ball can dry out very quickly. �e concen-tration of roots in this small area will “wick” or absorb the moisture from this small area like a dry sponge or a blotter. When the humidity is low, like it has been during the preceding 2 weeks, moisture is drawn out of the plant rapidly. �en add the nice breeze we have been enjoying and you will see plants with foliage, like evergreen trees and shrubs dehydrate very rapid-ly. �ese conditions put high demand for water on the roots and the roots are in a very limited area, they are not out into the soil around them very much when they have been transplanted within the last 12 to 15 months. �e roots soon run out of water and then the stress on the plant system starts to kick-in and evergreens will drop nee-dles and younger growth will start to droop. If this situation persists very long the plants may not recover.

�e moral of the story is to be observant to the conditions that are a�ecting your new plants so you can provide them with what they need for the �rst couple of years and they will reward you immeasurably for a long time. A�er all, when plants have to be replaced you lose 3 times. Once when you lose the growing time to get the plant started and secondly when you have to expend the e�ort to make the replacement when you could be spending your time just chilling out rather than working up a sweat again. �irdly, is when you have to provide the ICU type of care again to get the plant established in your landscape.

So relax and get ready to plant during soon and keep your eye on the weather and this will be a great gar-dening year.

PAGE 12 - TROY TRIBUNE - WEEK OF WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 2016

Holidays and birthday celebrations are not much fun for children who are in unhappy, or abusive, homes. Helping these children �nd better lives is one of the reasons for Isaiah’s Place, a private, nonpro�t foster care facility in Troy. Located at 1100 Wayne Avenue in Troy, this is an agency where at-risk youth can �nd shelter, support and potential for-ever homes. Troy Rotarians learned a great deal about the programs o�ered by the facility when they hosted Nate Green, a trainer for Isaiah’s Place, during their weekly meeting on April 19th.

Established in 2003, Isa-

iah’s Place provides Chris-tian-based placement ser-vices. A sta� of 10 people work with foster parents to help area at-risk youth develop self-esteem, gain a healthy life perspective and provide adult guidance.

Today, Isaiah’s Place has over 100 children in fos-ter placement across many southwestern Ohio coun-ties. �e agency also hosts special events for the chil-dren and o�ers educational programs, private counsel-ing and training services for the kids and their fam-ilies. �ey do fundraising projects to provide special Christmas celebrations for children whose lives have been turned upside down or may be confused about their current circumstanc-es. Isaiah’s Place helps foster parents cope with any be-havioral challenges, address questions the children may have and instill positive life

experiences to overcome the negativity so many of the children have lived through in their short lives.

Nationally, there are hundreds of thousands of children in foster care. For-ty-eight percent are in foster family homes as opposed to group facilities or living with relatives. �e median age of children in foster care is 10, and they age out of fos-ter care when they turn 18. Unfortunately, Isaiah’s Place has to turn some foster-el-igible children away from placement due to the ongo-ing need for foster homes. Responsible, loving, car-ing, persistent, and patient adults, age 21 or older, are

always needed to be foster parents. Applicants must be able to manage their �nanc-es, have no criminal back-ground, and with su�cient bed and living space can apply to be a foster parent. In addition to their fund-raising e�orts, Isaiah’s Place relies on funding from many sources including donations, county support and United Way grants. To learn more, visit www.isaiahsplace.com.

Troy Rotarians, and the Troy Rotary Foundation, support several community projects annually. In 2014-15, more than $16,000 in scholarships and communi-ty aid was distributed from the fund, including the an-

nual Shoe Project, Troy Af-ter Prom and support for summer camps at Brukner Nature Center and Waco Air Museum. Club members are always looking for new top-ics to share at weekly meet-ings. If you are interested in presenting your business or organization, please visit the Troy Rotary Web site at www.troyohiorotary.org and submit your information in the “Contact Us” section. Troy Rotary is a member-in-volved, goal-oriented ser-vice club focused on socio/economic issues that have an impact both locally and in-ternationally. You can follow their activities on Facebook at Troy Rotary Club.

Justin Coby, Health Part-ners Executive Director, said the response from area artists and those known throughout art circles has been tremendous. “All have been given from the heart focusing on the true pur-pose of the clinic,” he said.

In 2015, the clinic treat-ed 906 unduplicated pa-tients, which equated into

3,359 physician appoint-ments. Coby also noted the clinic provided some 2,223 patient lab/diagnosis; and 8,654 clinic-dispensed free prescriptions valued at more than $1 million. Over-all, the clinic provided $4.32 in medical services for ev-ery $1 spent.

According to Coby, a re-cord-setting level of giving of more than $17,000 net in overall donations was raised last year, nearly tri-

pling the amount raised in 2013.

Individual tickets are $80 each with a table of eight tickets being $550. For ticket information, con-tact the clinic at (937) 332-0894 x208, or by email at Justin@healthpartnersclin-ic.org. �e clinic website is www.healthpartnersclinic.org; and can be found on Facebook at www/face-book.com/healthpartners-freeclinic.

�e Miami County Bar Association is pleased to announce that it has award-ed its 2016 Bar Association scholarships of $1,500 each to �ve distinguished Miami County area graduating high school seniors. �e Bar As-sociation’s Scholarship Com-mittee meets annually every April to review scholarship applications by graduating seniors from Miami Coun-ty’s high schools and Leh-man Catholic High School and then makes its awards on the basis of a wide range of criteria and handwritten

Troy Main Street Inc. rec-ognized several projects im-proving interiors and exteri-ors of downtown buildings during its annual meeting April 21.

Ben Redick, 2016 chair-man of the downtown ad-vocacy organization, also introduced John Wilson as the new executive director and said Stephanie Silk, who served as interim director, would be director of market-ing and events.

�e Family Abuse Shelter of Miami County was pre-sented the Preservation Her-itage Award for its e�orts to

improve the building at 121 Public Square Northeast. Architect Patrick Hansford said block grant money from the city and other grants helped with building exteri-or repairs, updates and re-placement of mortar.

Ruth Jenkins of the shel-ter’s board said the �rst �oor retail space is joined upstairs by eight apartments for low-er income individuals. Jen-kins praised shelter director Barb Holman for her dedi-cation to seeing the building renovated.

A First Floor Renovation Award was given to Ba-sil’s and owner Todd Uhlir. He said renovations to the North Market Street build-

ing were “a joy” and “fun.” �e goal was to bring “a large town feel to downtown,” Uh-lir said.

Wade Westfall was recipi-ent of an Upper Floor Reno-vation Award for his work on converting the upper �oor of a South Market Street build-ing into living space. �e building, just south of City Hall, at one time was being considered for demolition.

Westfall said this is the ninth building he and wife, Susan, have tackled in the downtown area. �e �nal touches are being placed on the ��h, and �nal, phase of plans for the building.

robber asked for one of the pizzas, too.

Police reported the call for the pizza was made on Pearson’s phone. When they went to the house where they were told Pear-son was staying, police found pizza in the re-frigerator and the emp-ty box in the trash.

Pearson told inves-tigators he did not have a gun, but instead placed a stick in the waistband of his pants to make it appear there was a gun, according to reports.

He declined com-ment before sentenc-ing. Defense lawyer Steve Layman asked Gee to follow the rec-ommended five-year sentence and said the state and defense had stipulated that Pearson should receive credit against the prison time for 183 days served in jail.

Assistant Prosecu-tor Paul Watkins had no comment.

Gee found that Pear-son showed no remorse for his actions.

He ordered a five-year prison term. Pear-son will be responsible for paying court costs and $47 restitution to the Troy Domino’s Piz-za franchise.

Two men plead in credit union hold up

A Troy man pleaded guilty April 22 to felony robbery of the Abbey Credit Union on Wayne Street on Dec. 4.

Justin Higbee, 36, originally was charged with aggravated rob-bery.

Business employees

told police a man in a black hooded sweat-shirt and hat came in with a white paper bag and a note saying he had a gun and wanted money. A gun was not shown.

After leaving the bank, the man headed on foot toward Cres-cent Drive. A witness said he was seen get-ting into a brown Hon-da Civic, driven by a second man.

Police said people who saw the photo from a bank camera on social media identified Higbee.

As part of a plea agreement in Miami County Common Pleas Court, Higbee pleaded to a charge of robbery and prosecutors and the defense agreed to a jointly recommended sentence of eight years in prison.

Judge Jeannine Pratt ordered a presen-tence investigation and scheduled sentencing for June 13.

Also charged in the robbery was Jeremy Miller, 32, of Huber Heights. He faced a charge of complicity to aggravated robbery for allegedly driving the get away car. 

Miller waived a grand jury consideration of al-legations Monday, April 25, and pleaded guilty to felony robbery and receiving stolen prop-erty. 

A presentence inves-tigation was ordered and sentencing set for June 13.

County OKs improvements

The Miami County

commissioners ap-proved a contract with a Troy company to re-place paver bricks on the east side of the Safety Building with concrete.

The contract with Dalton Construction for $14,698 was approved April 19.

Also approved the same day was an agree-ment with Stanley Steemer/Sevitts Enter-prises to remove exist-ing carpet and install new carpet at the Clerk of Court Office on the Safety Building’s third floor. The commission accepted the compa-ny’s quote of $9,480.

The commission also approved an agreement with Quint Creative Signs of Piqua to install black letters identify-ing the Hobart Center for County Government on the west side of the building at the corner of Main and Adams streets in Troy. The con-tract is for $1,817

Woman pleads in theft 

A Sidney woman pleaded guilty to felo-ny theft from an elder-ly Miami County man Monday, April 25, in county Common Pleas Court.

Nichole A. Fahne-stock, 32, was  accused of taking $200 from the wallet of a Spring-creek Township man while at his residence to provide medical care Nov. 13.

Judge Jeannine Pratt accepted the plea, or-dered a presentence in-vestigation and sched-uled sentencing for June 14.

With the wins, Troy is now 10-3 overall and 5-1 in the GWOC.

Troy also lost to North-mont 4-1 and Newton 16-6 last week.

Baseball - What a dif-ference a day makes for the Troy Trojans.

�e Trojans ran into a buzzsaw in the GWOC North last week as they played a home/away series with division leading Van-dalia Butler, as the Trojans tried to hand the Aviators their �rst loss of the season.

In their �rst game at Troy, the Aviators used a �ve-run third inning to take command early, and roll to a 7-0 victory over Troy. �e next night, Butler again shut down the Troy o�ense, and escaped with a 2-0 victory to run their record to 14-0 overall and 6-0 in the league. Troy fell to 3-3 in the league.

Butler threatened in the �rst inning with two runners on base against Troy starter Jared Bair but the Trojans senior escaped without any damage done.

Troy came back with a major threat of their own in their half of the �rst. Hayden Kotwica singled and on a picko� attempt, an error allowed Kotwica to move all the way around to third base a�er Brandon Emery struck out. Troy le� the runner at third and the game was scoreless heading to the second.

Butler put together �ve runs in the third inning to open an insurmountable lead as the Trojans o�ense continued to struggle.

Butler added another run in the fourth to go up 6-0. �e Trojans threatened by getting their leado� run-ners on as Bair doubled, but Mitch Gremling struck out the next three batters to leave the runner in scoring position.

�e Trojans had runners at �rst and third in the ��h but a double play ended that threat. Butler ended the scoring in the sixth inning.

�e following day, Troy’s o�ense again was held o� the board as they lost 2-0.

Premier Health hospitals honored for supporting infant health

Maternity programs at all Premier Health hospitals have been recognized by a statewide program for their work in strengthening the bond between mothers and infants.

Among the hospitals recognized for promoting, protecting and supporting breastfeeding are Miami Valley Hospital, with an ad-ditional site at Miami Val-ley Hospital South; Good Samaritan Hospital; Atrium Medical Center; and Upper Valley Medical Center.

�e breastfeeding initia-tive, First Steps for Healthy Babies, was launched by the Ohio Department of Health and the Ohio Hospital Asso-ciation.

“Breast milk bene�ts ba-bies with its mix of nutrients, protein and fat,” says Marc

Belcastro, DO, vice president of women and infant ser-vices at Miami Valley Hospi-tal. “It’s easily digestible, and its anti-infective properties help newborns fend o� in-fection.”

�e incidence of asth-ma, allergies, respiratory illness and ear infections is also lower in babies that are breastfed, Belcastro said. And research suggests that breastfeeding lowers the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, Type 2 diabetes, obesity and other medical conditions.

�e bene�ts don’t end there.

“Breastfeeding also boosts the health of mothers,” says William Rettig, MD, chair of the Premier Health Wom-en’s Health Institute. “It helps women lose pregnancy

weight more quickly while reducing their risk of breast and ovarian cancer, not to mention osteoporosis.”

�rough the First Steps program, hospitals are en-couraged to adopt measures such as having a written breastfeeding policy that is routinely communicated to all health care sta�; showing mothers how to breastfeed; helping mothers initiate breastfeeding within one hour of birth; informing pregnant women about the bene�ts and management of breastfeeding; avoiding the use of paci�ers and arti�cial nipples with breastfeeding infants; and fostering the es-tablishment of breastfeeding support groups.

Premier’s hospitals also have removed free infant formula samples and formu-

la company-branded diaper bags and goods from their facilities. �e hospitals were recognized as “bag-free” facilities by First Steps for Healthy Babies in partner-ship with the Ohio Breast-feeding Alliance and the Ohio Lactation Consultant Association.

In recognition of the im-portance of these programs, Premier Health o�ers lacta-tion consultants and other resources to assist moth-ers one-on-one or through breastfeeding classes.

ing and hearing stories about military life and service.”

�e dedication ceremony was a small, brief, but sober event attended by the muse-um’s board and volunteers. Museum president, Tristan Weis spoke of Schlatter’s in-duction and devotion to the

museum. “Herb and people like him are the reason this place exists,” Weis said. “You don’t �nd many volunteers like that.”

According to his family who was also in attendance at the dedication, Schlatter did not like to be recognized.

Although Fogle and the mu-seum’s board of directors realized this, they could not think of better way to better honor him than to name in his memory the room he had anticipated and advocated. “He will be sorely missed,” Fogle said. “But, as we like to

say concerning all our veter-ans, he will never be forgot-ten.”

�e new Herb Schlatter Gallery at the Miami Valley Veteran’s Museum is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. or by appointment.

money to be used for:-       Duke Park improve-

ments: $11.2 million for proj-ects of nine baseball �elds plus infrastructure, three full size soccer �elds plus infra-structure and a maintenance building

-       Senior Citizens Cen-ter improvements: $100,000 for projects such as roof re-placement, exterior siding, foundation drainage, interior renovations, and parking lot improvements.

-            Miami Shores Golf Course, $1.5 million for proj-ects of clubhouse and land renovations and a driving range.

Among questions raised were what would happen if the organizations do not

raise the pledged money or if the levy would fail and, if the projects moved forward, who would maintain added facili-ties.

A lot of speci�cs of the proposal remain to be �gured out, said Patrick Titterington, city service-safety director.

�e proposals could be scaled back if necessary, but it would need to be on a proportional basis, he said.

�e estimated cost of the proposed 10-year levy was listed at $70 a year for a $100,000 home.

Councilmember Robin Oda asked why council was not told about discussions of a possible joint project and levy request.

“It would have been nice for council to have heard about the committee before we got this packet two days ago,” Oda said.

Tom Dunn, a recreation board member, asked why the project was on an appar-ent fast track. He said he was nervous discussing a proposal

that he was “ignorant of most of it.”

Titterington said the or-ganizations requested a No-vember ballot issue because of need for facilities. �e Ju-nior Baseball �elds were used as an example because of fre-quent �ooding at the current Knoop complex �elds at El-dean Road and County Road 25A.

In the end, the park board voted to recommend council place the levy request before voters. �e recreation board did not make a recommen-dation because a motion for ask council to place the tax on the ballot died for the lack of a second.

A date for another council discussion was not set.

Duke Park would get m o r e s p o r t s f i e l d s under the levy

Kate Young’s passion for �lmmaking is unde-niable. “When an idea �rst makes its way into your head there are so many questions to be an-swered and logistics to �gure out. �e work in-volved in taking an idea to a substantial state is al-ways more than you orig-inally anticipate. But the feeling of creating some-thing, having people take your idea and make it into reality–it’s a high like no other.”

Her most recent idea turned into a “substantial state” landed her with the prestigious Best Picture Award and a $1,000 prize at the Richmond Art Mu-seum’s 10th annual Phan-

toscope Film Festival.Phantoscope is a high

school �lm festival, jur-ied by �lm industry and creative professionals that screens �nalists in front of a live audience,

and awards prizes based on excellence and merit.

Young’s award-win-ning �lm, “Presque,” is about “moments in time, how a slight change can make a world of di�er-ence. It’s about how an everyday chain of events leads to two people fall-ing in love.” �e �lm was one of ten �nalists to be shown at the �lm festival.

“It was especially grati-fying to see the winner of the festival become, Kate Young,” said Lance Crow, Education Director at Richmond Art Museum.

“Kate has attended Phantoscope for four years, beginning as a spectator her freshman year and entering �lms

each year a�er that,” add-ed Crow. “Every year, her �lms have improved in terms of screenplay, cin-ematography, creativity, and overall vision. To have her win in her last year was a testament to the festival and what it can do to inspire, a�ect change, and o�er per-spective for young �lm-makers.”

Young is grateful for the opportunity the �lm festival has a�orded her. “It was such a special experience to win best picture my �nal year entering in the Phanto-scope Film Festival. �e motivation that Phanto-scope has presented me with has been invaluable.

Without the push from Phantoscope, “Presque” would never have been �nished.”

“Phantoscope gives young �lmmakers the chance to have their �lms shown in front of an audi-ence and be recognized,” added Young. “It is an in-credible feeling and I am very proud to have been part of the festival for the past four years.”

During the �lm fes-tival, guest speakers provided inspirational words to the contestants. Angelo Pizzo, the writ-er and producer known for Hoosiers and Rudy, o�ered unique writer/director perspective to contestants. J. Andy Mur-

phy, author, and moth-er of Ryan Murphy who produced of Glee and American Horror Sto-ry, also o�ered a parent’s perspective of cinema-tography.

Kate Young, of Union City, Ohio, is a College Credit Plus student in Bob Robinson’s Funda-mentals of Communica-tions class at Edison State Community College’s Darke County campus. “Kate is a sharp – and talented – young lady… destined for a great fu-ture,” said Robinson.
