Family hopes public has info on missing man BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – The family of 36-year old Michael Bunger is searching for answers after he went missing on July 20 and is reaching out to the public for information. Pictures of Michael and a plea from the family have been appearing on Facebook since July 21, but the family’s search has hit a road block at every turn. Bob Bunger, Michael’s father, said, “Michael has a large family that is worried. If he wants to come home, it’s okay. If that’s not what he needs, that’s okay too.” They just want to be contacted so they know Michael is alright. Michael, a 1997 GHS graduate, served in the US Army until he was honorably discharged in 2002. He left the military to be a stay-at-home dad to his two sons, Jake and Josiah.

The decision to leave allowed his wife, Stacey, to continue her military career. The couple divorced in 2011. Nicole Stout, Michael’s sister, said his sons were his life. He adored his boys to the point he quit his job in Greenville to move to Florida to be closer to them. Bob noted his son began preparing to move to Florida about a year ago. He moved in with Bob and his wife, Patty, to save money for the move. At the end of March, Michael rented a U-Haul and headed to the Tampa area. Within a week he found a job. Over the next few months, conversation with the family gradually declined to the point where he would not take phone calls from his ex-wife or children. About four to six week ago, Michael stopped communication with Brandon Bunger, his

Michael Bunger

best friend and brother. The last conversation he had with anyone known to his family was on July 3. Michael talked to a girl he had brieﬂy dated and she told family members he wasn’t acting like himself. Following that conversation, no one heard from or saw Michael for 17 days. On July 20, 2:30 p.m., Michael was spotted in Greenville by his sister-in-

law (Brandon’s wife) at the corner of Ohio and Martin Streets. She reported his car appeared to be packed full like he was moving back to the area. Family members were excited and thought they would ﬁnally get a chance to see and speak to him. Bob said he drove by his ex-wife’s house, Linnea Via (Michael’s mother) between 9 and 10 p.m. on the 20th,

but there was no sign of Michael. When Linnea got off work the next morning, around 8 a.m., July 21, Michael’s car was sitting in front of her house with a note inside. Bob recalled the note said, “Mom, here’s my car. You can have it. I won’t need it anymore. PS: Don’t worry about me. I’ll be ﬁne.” Inside the car they found the car title and receipts that showed he was in Florida on July 15 and back in Ohio on July 17. A police report was made with the Greenville Police Department shortly after the car was discovered, but Ofﬁcer Jesse Osswald pointed out there isn’t a lot his department can do. There isn’t an active investigation because Michael is an adult and his last known residence was in Florida. The department did put a BOL (Be on the Lookout) in Darke and

the surrounding counties for a welfare check. Ofﬁcer Osswald noted the family would need to ﬁle a missing persons report where he was living in Florida. It’s possible he could be placed on the national missing persons register if that were done. According to Miranda Thompson, Michael’s sister, the police department told them, “There doesn’t appear to be any foul play. There are no warrants. There’s no reason to go pursue him.” Bob added, “The statement he made on the note... (led the department to believe) he wasn’t going to hurt himself.” However, in the police report it states he left a “suicidal note.” The family knows Michael was depressed about his divorce, but they’ve never had any cause for

County could welcome the World in 2019 GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Darke County will take center stage as future plans call for the arrival of the World Plowing Competition the last week of July and the ﬁrst week of August 2019. “We’re getting ready for a World match that is going to be in 2019,” said Darke County Commissioner Mike Rhoades. All that remains to be completed is the signing of the contract. “Future plans for the 2019 Worlds will take place at Dick Lavy Farms down by Continental Grain on State Route 503, contract pending,” said Rhoades. Rhoades is very active in competition plowing having just won the Ohio State plowing competition and will be representing Darke County at the Nationals in Belmont, Iowa this August. “We have to raise $2 million,” said Rhoades.

“Dave Knapp is helping me do that and we are going out for corporate sponsors.” “We have to pay the World Board… we have to pay all their expenses,” continued Rhoades. “There will be 38-40 countries come and each one has a world board member and then two plowmen… Rollover and Small. We have to pay for all their expenses to get them here and back home.” One item that is not included in the expense of the contestants is prize money. “There is no money in it. No prize moneyno prize money here,” said Rhoades. “All we are plowing for is a trophy and bragging rights. Big time.” “The problem I have right now, I need 400 motel rooms and we haven’t got that in Darke County,” Rhoades said. “That is why we picked Continental Grain in the Arcanum area.” “We have to be within 25 miles of a hotel to the

plow sight and we have to be within ten miles of a hotel for the airport, so Dayton International airport is right there. We are going to try to use those hotels.” Even though the World event is four years away, work must start now to be ready when the plowmen arrive in 2019. “We have to start raising money now,” Rhoades stated. “We’ve got it worked out with Dick Lavy that he’s going to put out 160 acres of four year old grass. We have to have four year old lawn grass, not alfalfa or clover. No deep rooted. It has to be manicured lawn grass established for four years.” “Then we have to have another 150 acres of wheat stubble,” said Rhoades. “Dick (Lavy) is going to sew the grass this fall… 160 acres and then the fall of ‘18 he’ll put the rest of the ground into wheat stubble.” “We have to furnish so much to practice,” Rhoades said. “A lot of these countries come in, several countries that will be in here a month ahead to practice.” Rhoades is familiar with the World Plowing competition having been to New Zealand and Croatia for the World event. “They will be here a total of 10 days,” said Rhoades. “The ﬁrst seven days are the hardest. The ﬁrst two days the plowmen and their coaches tour with

Greenville Park discovers ﬁsh kill RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The City of Greenville Street Superintendent Ryan Delk has a theory as to what killed approximately 50 fish in one of the Greenville City Park’s lagoons. On the afternoon of July 21, fish began swimming to the surface seeking oxygen in the lagoon behind the Masonic Temple on Memorial Hill. By the time the street department discovered what was happening it was too late to save them. According to Delk, the street department had recently sprayed copper sulfate in the lagoon. This is a common practice to control algae and weeds and normally doesn’t affect the fish. Delk pointed out since he has been working with Greenville’s parks they have sprayed two to three

times a year without incident. The chemical does reduce the amount of oxygen in the pond, which is why only half of the pond is sprayed at a time. Normally, the ﬁsh would gather in the other half of the pond. The weather conditions, low water level, new equipment and the failure of old equipment may have combined to cause the recent ﬁsh kill. With temperatures soaring above 90 degrees and a low water level, Delk’s department decreased the amount of copper sulfate used this time. However, they were unaware the pump used to feed fresh water into the lagoon from the Greenville Creek had tripped a breaker and was inoperable. The ponds have a cement base, but are susceptible to leaking. The pump continually feeds water into the lagoons on both sides of the Greenville Creek to

keep the ponds oxygenated and the water at appropriate levels. The city also recently added aerators to the ponds. Although city crews only sprayed half of the pond, Delk believes the aerators may have caused the chemical to be spread across the entire pond, which would have decreased the oxygen level throughout. Without fresh water coming in from the pump, the fish would have had no place to go. Once the street department noticed the fish swimming to the surface they fixed the pump, but it was too late to save the fish. Delk pointed out the fish kill primarily affected the larger fish in the lagoon. Approximately 90 percent of those killed were carp. The other 10 percent were small mouth bass and bluegill.

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT

Police deal with harassment, domestic violence and more On July 27 police were dispatched regarding a vandalism complaint. There were several large scratches down the entire driver side of the victim’s vehicle. She stated she had been having problems with her ex-boyfriend and showed the ofﬁcer several text messages over the past

couple of days. There were no direct property threats but the messages were vulgar and clearly noted anger against the victim. The victim then said the suspect had nude pictures of her. She told the ofﬁcer the suspect wanted her to pay a DP&L bill, but she refused. She then said the

suspect printed out the nude photos, hung them on a DP&L meter and took a picture of it with his cell phone. He sent her the photo and stated if she didn’t pay the bill he would hang the photos up for all her friends to see. She didn’t show the officer this message but said she has saved everything the suspect has sent her. The officer made contact with the suspect who stated he did not damage the vehicle, but did admit to sending text messages to the victim. No mention was made of the photos as the officer was still waiting for a written statement from the victim. The suspect was warned for telecommunications harassment and the victim advised to seek a CPO. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE On July 26 police were dispatched regarding a domestic violence complaint. A female, later identified as Hailey Amburgey, was the suspect and had left the residence. She was later found behind it. The victim, and a witness, both advised there was a heated argument. The victim was moving Amburgey’s belongings out to the front porch. She allegedly got more agitated and slapped the victim, then grabbed his throat. The witness said he was calling the police so she allegedly charged him and slapped him in the back of the head. The witness said the victim tried to walk away from Amburgey but she followed him, pushed him against the wall and grabbed his neck. Amburgey stated the victim was moving her things out and she started having a panic attack. She admitted she could lose control when she had a panic attack. She said she shoved the victim but never hit him. The victim had red marks on his neck. Because of that observation and the statements of the victim and witness, she was placed under arrest for Domestic Violence. At that time she also admitted she had a “bowl” in her purse for smoking marijuana. A field test of marijuana was positive. She was issued citations for domestic violence and drug paraphernalia and held at Darke County jail until she could be transported to the Mercer County jail. DISORDERLY CONDUCT On July 24 police were dispatched to 90 S. Ohio St. regarding a disorderly conduct complaint. The suspect, Matthew Unger, was allegedly trying to break into the house and

yelling at the residents inside. The residents, Darrell Perkins and Abigail Bunch, said Unger was Bunch’s ex-boyfriend. They said he was cussing at them and telling them to open the door. He allegedly started kicking it and hitting the side of the house with his fist. Perkins tried to talk to him but it then became heated with Unger allegedly making comments like “I’ll **** you up, *****” and “I’ll kick your ***.” Police noted no apparent damage to the door but the side of the house appeared to have a dent in it. Officers found Unger in the alley behind the house. He refused to fill out a statement, saying he was there because his kid lives there and he buys bread for Abigail. Unger added he had nothing to do with the damage to the house. He was cited for Disorderly Conduct and warned for Criminal Trespass from 90 S. Ohio St. On July 19 police were dispatched to Boyd Cleaners, 501 E. Main St., regarding a person sleeping in their game room and refusing to leave. The officer observed Ronnie Beisner lying on the floor and up against the wall. He was lying in what appeared to the officer to be vomit. He was unresponsive to commands to get up and had the odor of alcohol on him. The officer requested rescue to be dispatched. Beisner was transported to Wayne HealthCare; rescue personnel told the officer Beisner had indicated he tried to kill himself. The officer noted there was a pill bottle containing tablets in Beisner’s pocket. The officer went to Beisner’s residence, a transition house owned by John Graham, and found numerous pills on the floor in the kitchen/ hall and in the bedroom on the dresser. A witness said he’d received a couple text messages from Beisner that did not make sense. It appeared Beisner had a script for all pills located. The officer then went to Wayne ER and issued a summons for Disorderly Conduct. SHOPLIFTING On July 20 police were dispatched to Cavalier Clothing, 503 S. Broadway. Police were told by store employees a person who identified himself as Paul Barton was acting strange by bending down near a front counter area where baseball hats are kept. He was asked several times if he needed help; he said he was bending down because he had knee

pain and couldn’t stand up. He refused an offer to call for medical attention. He eventually left the store without making any purchases. One of the employees said she observed the bill of a hat sticking out of Barton’s shorts pocket and told the other employee she believed a baseball hat had just been stolen. It looked like a green/white camo hat. The employee ran after Barton who took off running down the street. On July 22 an officer saw Barton wearing a green/white camo hat. On July 25 the original responding officer made contact with Barton and questioned him about the incident. Barton stated he was at the store at that time but did not steal a hat. When he was told he was observed wearing a stolen hat, Barton said it was given to him by his cousin but he has since lost it. Barton told the officer it was given to him the day after the incident, but could not provide any information about his “cousin.” When it was learned Barton currently had no address/residence, he was considered “At Large,” arrested and transported to Darke County jail. ROBBERY On July 28 police were dispatched to 208 Harrison Ave. regarding a robbery. Dispatch advised the suspect was seen running east on Cypress Street, then in the area of 12th Street and Riffle, however police were unable to find him. The victim, Stephanie Brandeberry, said she and two friends were visiting when the suspect came over and asked for pop money. When she looked in her purse she only had two $50 bills, which the suspect allegedly grabbed then ran out of the house. She told the officer she then slipped on the rug and fell on the floor, causing a cut on her knee and injury

to her back. She asked the officer if he was going to arrest the subject. He said no because he “only had half of the story.” Stephanie was upset and said the suspect had grabbed her, shook her and threw her on the ground. The officer said that was not her original statement; she said it was. Stephanie refused transport to Wayne ER by township rescue. Stephanie’s two visitors confirmed the suspect had come to the house and they saw the $50 bills, however they left before he allegedly took the money. The location of the suspect is unknown at the time of the report. BURGLARY On July 25 police were dispatched to 1395 Sweitzer St. Apt. 18 regarding a burglary in progress. The defendant, Cory Norris, said he was supposed to be at the residence; his sister lived there but she was out of town. The sister, Jamie Thompson (who was out of town), advised Norris had some belongings there and was allowed to get them. During the investigation police discovered Norris had an active warrant through Greenville Police. He was arrested and transported to the Darke County jail, original charge Driving under Suspension.

He pleaded with his son, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need to let your family know that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re physically and mentally okay.â&#x20AC;? The family is hoping for a phone call or a text.

the full Saturday in 2014. By the end of the day, committee members estimated well over 1,500 visitors. The festival is open Friday through Sunday but the high traffic day is always Saturday after the parade. Judy Hathaway, Annie Oakley Committee First Vice President, was delighted. “Traffic has been good!” she exclaimed. Committee member Laura Francis, 2011 Miss Annie Oakley, said she waves at people… gets big smiles. “I talk to the vendors. I’ve heard mostly positive comments. They’re happy… a lot more people here than last year.” She attributes a lot of that to no admission or parking charges. “When we moved out here that was one of the first things we did.” Francis, who joined the committee in 2011, said the Festival – and the parade in downtown Greenville – is the result of the hard work of 12 committee members and five more ‘main’ volunteers. “Most of us have been out here every day all week, from 8 a.m. to dusk… or at home getting stuff ready

for this,” she said. “I’d love to see at least double our committee size,” she added. “Twice as many volunteers.” Every year during downtime the committee discusses how it can make the festival better. “Little things… just a little better… it’s been a long road, but it’s starting to shine through. I’m happy!” She hoped this success will attract more volunteers. “Not too many people know Annie was a real person,” Francis said. “Not only was she real, she was an amazing person. Our goal is to get the

word out.” There were smiles from visitors and vendors alike, especially for Miss Annie Oakley 2015 Mariana Ramos as she toured the area looking at vendor offerings and greeting people. In the meantime visitors could hear shots from the Fast Draw Competition, check out family fun games and stop in for Story Time with Annie, Buffalo Bill and 2015 Miss Annie Oakley. The annual Melodrama was performed by the Darke County Civic Theater Thursday through Sunday.

Annie Oakley… an inspiration to young women BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

BROCK – “Annie Oakley was not just a marksman,” said Hannah Linebaugh. “She was an activist for women, children and education.” Hannah was Miss Annie Oakley 2006 and has taken the lead on the Pilgrimage tradition each year. She spoke about the history and life of Darke County’s famous daughter. A gathering of about 30 people attended the

Pilgrimage to the graves of Annie Oakley and Frank Butler at Brock Cemetery on July 23. Later, Miss Annie Oakley 2015 Mariana Ramos placed the traditional wreath at Annie Oakley’s gravesite. Indicating she learned a lot about Annie by using the Internet and going to Garst Museum, she said Annie “sounds really wonderful. I wish I could have met her.” Bonnie Perry, Annie’s great great niece, said honoring Darke County’s famous daughter is a great thing. “I think she’d be embarrassed,” Perry said. “However this is very deserving for the life she lived.” Perry is a member of the Annie Oakley Center Foundation and volunteers for the festival committee. Annie Oakley was a pioneer in women’s rights. Darke County Commissioner Diane Delaplane is another pioneer in that she is the county’s ﬁrst female commissioner. Her message to those in attendance

was “continue with your goals, just as Annie did.” Each year the Annie Oakley Festival Committee hosts an essay contest for young girls to write about what Miss Annie Oakley means to them. This year’s three winners are: First place Isabelle Rammel, 12, a student at St. Mary’s Catholic School. She won $75 for her essay titled “Aiming High and Using Success to Help Others.” Second place Libby Fox, 9, Franklin Monroe. She won $50 for her essay titled “How Annie Oakley Inspired Me to Aim for the High Mark.” Third place Selene Weaver, 13, a student at Franklin Monroe. She won $25 for her essay titled “A Sure Shot to Success.” Both Selene and Isabelle discussed how they were going to use the money… options included donating it, saving it… “I’ll probably spend it at the fair,” they decided.

Thanks for the Parade

Thank you so much Annie Oakley Committee for a very enjoyable Parade. The ones describing the groups did a wonderful job. The speakers were loud enough to hear and were clear sounding. Thank you to all those who participated in the parade. It is always a joy to see our community come together. Also, thank you to all the sponsors who graciously give to this parade and all the other activities and fundraisers. I am proud to be a Darke County blood resident. Carolyn Fisher Greenville

-------------------------Life Does Matter

Letter to the Editor, More shootings, news programs reporting violence on a daily basis, robberies of homes and businesses, and more, with people asking what is going on? It should be no surprise when we have devalued human life to where an unborn human being is considered no more than a piece of meat. Then, when born, if one is of a certain group they are considered of less value. There is the push to control weapons without any endeavor to control the human heart. Our constitution states that “all men (people) are created equal,” but the effort is to make that equality a part of every phase of human existence. The fact is, as has been stated in the past, “free men are not equal, and equal men are not free.” Equality is the death knell of achievement. We praise organizations such as Planned Parenthood, whose found said that a certain ethnic group is inferior and should be eliminated. Afﬁrmative Action says to minorities and others that you cannot make it on your own without us. Entitlements guarantee that certain values are yours without working to achieve them. Beside the violence we see in our cities, there is a power of selﬁshness which says their belief system guarantees personal pleasure beyond this life, with multiple sexual partners and eternal joy. This is the thrust of radical Islam. The problem is, that there is a system that states equality of everyone, regardless of ethnic identity, gender or background. I try to live under that system to the best of my ability, but we have seen it taken away from public life. That system was the basis for our original national government, that states that “we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights, that of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” But we do not recognize that Creator, yet blame Him when everything

goes wrong. It is true that each person is free to worship who or what he will, but take that away, and it strips each of their dignity and purpose for life. When life does not matter, why should we be upset when it is taken from us so much in our world today? Life does matter, and each must give each other the dignity and purpose to develop it to the fullest. Perhaps Reverend Wright was closer to the truth than we dare to accept. Carroll E. Pahl, retired pastor, Greenville

-------------------------Thank You Darke Co.

Letter to the Editor: I would like to personally thank all of the many volunteers, sponsors, community members and my fellow committee members for making this year’s Annie Oakley Festival one of the best in the past several years. A special thank you to all of the vendors and food vendors that set up in the woods. We had a great time with you all and I saw many, many people carrying out items they had purchased with large smiles on their faces. The 52nd Annie Oakley Festival was truly a family friendly event with something for everyone. Three days of activities that were totally free with FREE admission and FREE parking. Great free entertainment from the Darke County Civic Theater melodrama, the Annie Oakley Western Arts Showcase, the Historical Bus Tours, the marksmanship contest, National Fast Draw Competition, Talent Show, Family Fun Games and Story Time with Annie, Buffalo Bill and meeting the 2015 Miss Annie Oakley. The 4th annual car show, meeting the Ohio Cardinal Semi Pro Football Team, the Ohio National Guard, and one of our new events; Parelli Horsemanship Demos and Cowboy Mounted Shooting. We also had 5 free concerts in the entertainment tent. The 52nd Annie Oakley Festival is now history but the planning for the 53rd has already begun. Become a part of this exciting, growing festival. Your comments, suggestions, and ideas are always welcome. Bill Gunckle Committee Member Greenville

You Can Never Have Too Much Lemonade

I’ve spent thousands of dollars taking my wife and kids on family trips; all with the hope of creating memories that would last a lifetime. I think I’ve been wasting my money. We’ve been to Disney and Universal Studios. We’ve taken pirate ship and duck boat cruises. We’ve done a lot and are always trying something different, but it usually comes with a price. The funny thing is, when any of us begin a conversation with, “Do you remember when…?” The rest of the sentence very seldom in-

COLUMBUS—Representative Jim Buchy (RGreenville) announced that Ohio’s ﬁrst-ever, one-time Sales Tax Holiday will begin Aug. 7 at 12:01 a.m. and will end on Aug. 9 at 11:59 p.m. This initiative was created through Senate Bill 243 and signed into law in December 2014. “Providing an opportunity for Ohioans to purchase the items they need in this back-to-school season without paying taxes is important because it provides much needed tax relief for Ohio’s families and teachers,” Buchy said. “We believe the Sales Tax Holiday will provide an economic boost for Ohio’s employers as well during this time.” The sales tax holiday will be especially beneﬁcial for back-to-school shopping, and the tax exempt items are as follows: * Clothing priced at $75 or less * School supplies priced at $20 or less

ation. Those situations are usually enhanced when their cell phones are dead and they don’t have a phone charger. They have a choice of moping and causing me to yell or they can act like real people and interact with us. I know we have all heard the old adage, “When life hands you a lemon; make lemonade,” but do you really make lemonade or do you just suck on the lemon and have that sour puss face? We try hard to make lemonade, but then my youngest goes and drinks way too much of it and gives us a whole new problem. Since the day she was born her bladder has been quick to fill. I would be willing to bet the Duggar mom, after having 19 kids, doesn’t go to the bathroom as much as my youngest. Maybe you already know this, but here’s a lesson I learned recently - a small bladder and traffic at a standstill does not mix. Life had already squeezed the lemons before we knew there was going to be a problem and my daughter drank about three cups worth. Five minutes after we stopped I heard the first rumblings of her needing to go to the bathroom. Those rumblings got louder and louder as each minute passed. After 10 minutes I real-

cludes one of those places we visited. Instead, we recall the dumb things we said or did. I spent around $100 to take my family to see the mermaids at Weeki Wachi, but what do they remember most? It wasn’t the boat ride, wading in the natural springs or the mermaid show. They remember me ripping my shirt off and sitting in the mold of mermaid tail. Within seconds that picture was all over Facebook and Instagram. I’m still debating whether or not their smiles and laughter were worth my embarrassment. We’ve had many more memorable family moments that didn’t cost us anything and it’s all because we didn’t dwell on the negative in a bad situ-

ized we weren’t stopped for construction, but for an accident up ahead. (By the way, no one was hurt in the accident.) After 20 minutes I realized the accident up ahead wasn’t going to be the only accident if we didn’t do something quick. “Find a cup and go to the back of the van and do what you need to do,” I told her. That advice didn’t sit well with my oldest daughter, “What? No!” As soon as the excess lemonade hit the cup, she began to retch; eventually sticking her head out of the window – just in case. Knowing what the answer would be, I asked to her grab the cup from my youngest and hand it to me so I could pour it out. It was met with more retching. As I reached for the cup a thought went through my head, “This cup is going to be warm.” I almost retched. We were stuck in trafﬁc for over two hours, but we used the time wisely. We had fun, talked, laughed and carefully tip toed around the wet spot at mile marker 31. I don’t want to ever get too impatient or grumpy to miss out on family memories in the most obscure places. Unless you’re my youngest, you can never have too much lemonade.

Sports Spotlight: Bruner chooses right path despite obstacles GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Kyle Bruner, a 2014 Greenville High School graduate and football and baseball letter winner for the Green Wave will be entering his second season with the Wittenberg University football team. Greenville head varsity football coach Aaron Shaffer counts Bruner one of his prize athletes not only on the ﬁeld or in the class room but in his positive decision making growing up in Greenville.

“I am really proud of all of our guys who ﬁnish our program,” Coach Shaffer stated, “but Kyle is just a tremendous young man.” “The stress and life tragedies that he’s gone through early… to lose your father at a really young age and be able to persevere through that, get himself graduated from high school, set himself up for college and then to end up at Wittenberg, my alma mater, I couldn’t be more proud of him,” said Shaffer. He’s a tremendous young man.” “Without my mom, my sister, my grandparents and people like coach Shaffer

Arcanum 14U remains unbeaten with tournament win BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Arcanum 14U girls fast pitch softball team defeated a strong Lebanon team 4-3 in 11-innings to take the championship trophy in the Treaty City Shootout in the weekend tournament at Stebbins Field. “Excellent defense,” said Arcanum Coach Jeff Mote. “The girls played great.” Arcanum defeated Van Wert 6-4 in the semi-ﬁnal game while Lebanon was knocking off Toledo to set up the championship

game. Arcanum plated a run in the top of the 11th inning to take a 4-3 lead before Lebanon attempted a steal of second base putting the Arcanum lead in jeopardy only to have Sam Hartzell throw out the baserunner with Gracie Garno getting the tag down at second in time. “That was a huge play,” Mote said. “Sam Hartzell threw it to Gracie Garno and tagged her out.” The Arcanum 14U girls softball team improves to 10-0 on the season.

and the coaching staff that I had I definitely could have went down a different road, but I had so many people in my life that were pounding me, helping me through because I haven’t had to travel anything alone … it’s been really nice.” Bruner believes college football is a good fit for him, but does not come easy without hard work both on the field and in the classroom. “It’s hard because you leave and come from a town where I started three years and you go in and you’re the new man on the block ,” said Bruner. “You have to start from square one, work your way back up the depth chart and I’ve have problems with my ankle again.” “You have to figure we have guys from Florida that could be playing Division I football,” continued Bruner. “We have guys from all over the country and everybody that is there is recruited to play football so it’s not like somebody is there just to show up. Everybody there is top notch kids. Some unfortunately like me aren’t big enough to play Division I ball but are good enough in some aspects of the game.” Bruner comes into his second season of college football still on the small size for his position but has

a heart and work ethic that is working in his favor to improve his playing time on the field. “I’m about 20 pounds from where I should be… where I think my coach would want me to be,” Bruner said. “With my lifting program, eating right and other things will help me get to where I need to be. I’ll be alright.” “I am definitely looking to my junior year to step up because we have an AllAmerican center in front of me from Florida,” Bruner stated. “He’s really impressive… an All-American, AllLeague every year since his freshman year.” “Right now I have to work my way up the chart and see where it goes,” added Bruner. “Just keep working and hopefully my junior year I’ll be ready to take the reigns and carry on the tradition.” With a year under his belt, Bruner has learned to balance football and academics at Wittenberg. “It’s difficult sometimes with a busy practice schedule,” said Bruner.” Our coach has us on tight schedule. Study tables my freshman year. Now he gets us in that routine.” “It’s kind of like high school… if you don’t get the

grades you don’t play,” continued Bruner. “Football has helped me more than anything just because of the routine that it gets me in. I know that I have to study before I go to class. I have a job on campus, a work study job so I know I have to study in between. I have to study after practice. I know how to make a schedule now and really get myself on.” Bruner knows where he came from and is quick to give credit and thanks to those that were there for him along the way. “Since coach Shaffer is from Witt (Wittenberg) and a Greenville grad, I deﬁnitely look back at some techniques that he has taught me. A lot of our drills are

the same drills I ran in high school, so I really look back and think about techniques that he would have taught me or advice that he would have given me.” “I look up to a lot of coaches,” Bruner said. “Coach (Adam) Eberwein… we were in the same situation a couple areas of our life so I deﬁnitely look back to past advice from coaches, past technique and everything like that.” “I am kind of one of those guys that people know I don’t forget where my roots are from,” added Bruner. Coach Shaffer is one of Bruner’s biggest fans and has made a large impact on the life of a young man from Greenville, Ohio. “I think the Wittenberg guys feel like he’s got a chance to be a player for them soon,” Shaffer said. “It’s really neat to be able to help Kyle with the things that he has been able to do.” “I’ve been fortunate to have in my high school coaching career… I’ve sent ﬁve kids to Wittenberg and the most gratifying of all of them is Kyle just because of everything he’s had to deal with, the way he works at it and the way he wants it,” stated Shaffer. “I am really proud of him.”

Greenville Golf Outing and Hog Roast beneﬁts football program BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The 2nd Annual Golf Outing and Hog Roast to beneﬁt the Green Wave football program was a large success Saturday at the Turtle Creek Golf Course. “It’s amazing… it’s a tremendous event,” said Greenville head football coach Aaron Shaffer. “Takes a lot of work. There are a lot of volunteers, a lot of donations. It’s unbelievable the amount of support we have found with this outing. Last year we had 12 teams… today we teed off with 31.” Proceeds from this year’s event will go toward the purchase of new uniforms. “It is obviously for a great cause,” continued Shaffer. “We have the new jerseys out (on display).

It’s really nice to know that the community and parents are supporting our kids the way they are.” The 2015 event had 31 teams teeing off with a 1:00 PM shotgun start followed with a 5:00 PM hog roast under the “Big Tent”. Coach Shaffer gives praise and credit to his coaching staff for the increased local support for the Green Wave football team. “I am really fortunate to have these guys (coaching staff) that are willing to take the time it takes to coach,” said Shaffer. “The amount of time that they spend away from their families to be able to put on an event of this magnitude.” “The amount of time they put in and the work that they are willing to put forth for our kids and our community it’s really amazing,” added Shaffer. “I personally am blessed and I hope that our players, our parents and our community understand what these guys have done for us.” Door prizes were given for longest drive, closest to the pin, 50/50 drawing and a silent auction. Coach Shaffer, a Greenville Alum and former

Green Wave football player shared why he would give up a promising six-year college football coaching career at Wittenberg University to return to his roots. “There is no question (right thing to do… coming back to Greenville),” said Shaffer. “From the day that we got here, my wife and I have been nothing but supported.” “The chance to come home and be around the people that are here and the friends that we have made in the short time that we’ve been here… it’s just unbelievable,” stated Shaffer. “Yes, we could have chased the college dream, but when we sat down as a family, Jess and I talked about what we wanted to do.” “We wanted to make a difference at a local level,” continued Shaffer. “It isn’t about the dollars and cents all the times. It’s about making connections and giving people opportunities and the fact of the matter is, if Frank Horvath, my coach in high school hadn’t given me an opportunity to go to Wittenberg I wouldn’t be here today… wouldn’t have met my wife and have the beautiful family that I have.”

“It has deﬁnitely given me the opportunity to live a life that’s enjoyable and that is kind of where I come from in terms of my mind set with our kids in our program,” Shaffer added. “I want to give kids the same opportunities I had. What better place to do it than at home.” The Green Wave open the 2015 football season August 28 at home against the Eaton Eagles with a 7:00 PM kickoff. Event directors for the event were Wave football coaches Aaron Shaffer, Adam Eberwein and Steve Lantz.

Tri-Village grad wins gold medal at Toronto Pan American Games Americas featuring summer BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

TORONTO, Canada – Former Tri-Village track star, Clayton Murphy can now call himself a “Gold Medalist”! The 20-year-old sophomore at the University of Akron represented Team USA taking first place Thursday in the Men’s 800-meter race during the Pan American Games in Toronto, Canada. Murphy won the gold medal with a time of 1:47.19 beating Columbian runner, Rodriguez Rafith, by just four one-hundreths of second (1:47.23). The 2013 Tri-Village graduate set state records as a Patriot and has since earned U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association first team all-American honors while running for the University of Akron. The Pan Am Games is a major sporting event in the

sports, in which thousands of athletes participate in a variety of competitions.

Greenville takes Treaty City Shootout 12U trophy BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Trailing by two runs in the bottom of the last inning of play in the 12U Treaty City Shootout championship game, the Greenville girls plated three runs in the bottom of the sixthinning to defeat the girls from Eaton and claim the championship trophy. “That is what makes these games fun,” said Greenville 12U Coach Jason Williams. “That is why we kept telling our girls to stay positive.” Eaton took a 1-0 lead in the top of the ﬁrst with Greenville taking the lead in the bottom of the second-inning pushing three runs across the plate to lead 3-1. Both teams went scoreless in inning No. 3 but it was Eaton knocking in two runs in the top of the fourth to even the score at 3-3 before Greenville would plate a run in the bottom of the inning to take a 4-3 lead heading

into the fifth inning. The fifth inning had both teams putting up goose eggs sending the teams to the final inning of play with Greenville hanging on to a one run advantage. Eaton added three runs to the board in the top of the sixth to take a 6-4 lead over the local girls setting the stage for heart-stopping Greenville come-back win to claim the championship trophy by way of a 7-6 score. “They made a few mistakes early on in the game and started to get down on themselves,” Williams said. “Some really got down when the other team took the lead. They fought back extremely hard at the end to bring home the win. The trophy stays in Greenville.” Greenville 12U girls defeated Versailles while Eaton was defeating Newton in the semi-final contests to go head-tohead in the Treaty City Shootout championship game.

UNION CITY, Ind. – Thirty-five teams from Indiana and Ohio took part in the 2nd Annual Dylan Williams Memorial Baseball Invitational last weekend in Union City, Ind. The 8U, 10U and 12U all-star baseball tournament is held as a fundraiser in honor of eightyear-old Dylan Williams who lost his life after a tragic accident during allstar practice in July 2013. The money raised from the tournament goes to the Dylan Williams Forever An All-Star Foundation to help supply area sports fields and schools with automated external defibrillators (AED) to be on-hand in case of an emergency situation like the Williams family experienced with Dylan. This year’s first place winners were Selma 12U, Russia 10U and Celina 8U. Each of the teams will be presented with an AED donated by the Dylan Williams Forever An All-Star Foundation at a training meeting in the coming weeks. After presenting this year’s three winning teams from each age bracket of the tournament, the foundation will have given out a total of 52 AED devices spread across Indiana and Ohio… and even one in Virginia. According to the foundation, every high school in Darke and Randolph County has received at least one AED to-date. As part of this year’s memorial tournament, the Williams family sponsored a special 10U team dedicated to Dylan, or as they always called him “Dilly”. The Dylan’s Dawgs team consisted of 10 of Dilly’s former teammates and five additional Union City 10U all-stars. Each of the boys paid tribute to their fallen friend by touching first base each time they

took the ﬁeld on defense. Also, each of their jerseys displayed “Williams” with the number 16 on the back. Though the boys have not played together for quite some time, they advanced pretty far through the tournament before falling to Fort Recovery on Sunday. Following their ﬁnal game, Erick Williams, Dylans’s dad, thanked each one of them during an emotional moment near Dylan’s memorial monument at the ballpark. Tears rolled down several of the boy’s cheeks as they remembered how much they missed their friend. “Watching Dylan’s team play together again was one of the hardest things from the weekend,” said Dylan’s parents Erick and Georgiana Williams. “Dylan loved his teammates and just hanging out with all of them. We want them to know how much that meant to us!” The Williams family told The Early Bird that aside from everything else, the tournament lets people know about Dylan and is a way to spread the word about CPR training and the importance of having an AED available. “This tournament means the world to our family,” they added. “The support we receive from the community is tremendous . Our baseball family is always there for

us and helps us with anything we need.” “This tournament gives me a lot of pride and enjoyment that we can do this for the Williams family and Dylan,” said tournament director Scott Reagan. “Rhonda, Hunter and I really think the world of them and this is the least we can do.” When asked what Dylan would have loved about a tournament like this, Erick and Georgiana said, “Aside from playing baseball and being with all his friends… he would have been at the Snowie bus getting slushies all weekend!” The Williams family would like to thank the Union City Baseball Boosters who went out of their way to make sure the ball diamonds were ready for the tournament. “The addition of the memorial archway for this year’s tournament was beautiful,” they concluded. “We hope to hold this tournament for many years to come!” Like the Dylan Williams Forever An All-Star Foundation on Facebook for more information and updates. The 35 teams that participated in this year’s tournament were: 8U – Russia, Union City, Saratoga A, Wabash, Saratoga B, Celina, Ansonia, Cowan, Coldwater, Monroe Central and Ft.

Darke County hosts Ohio state plowing contest BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

known as the Riegle Farm located on State Route 49 west of Ansonia. “Herb offered (use of the land) because we are a no-till farm,” said Ginny. “We actually don’t plow.” Darke County is well represented in competi-

Mike’s been to the Nationals and Worlds many a times and so has Roger Fourman.” The plowing contest is made up of Senior Small Plow, Senior Antiques (1938 and older tractor and plow), Senior Open and Senior Rollover divisions with the ﬁrst and second place ﬁnishers having the opportunity to compete at the Nationals held in Belmont, Iowa. “We are vying to represent Ohio at the Nationals which is the week before the Darke County Fair,” said plowing contestant and Darke County Commissioner Mike Rhoades. The division that I am in is the Senior Small,” Rhoades said. “Dale Dirksen (Rollover Division) has been to the Worlds two times. Our two divisions, Senior Small Plow and Senior Rollover are the only two that can go into the World competition. If we do good here, if we do good out there at Belmont we will be going

to England next year.” Kevin Flory has been competing since the age of nine and now his son Grant enjoys competing. “My son is probably one of the younger ones,” said Flory. “Grant is going to be a junior at Tri-Village High School and he got interested when he was 12.” Proper technique and details do not make winning easy for these gentlemen with their tractors and plows. “There is straightness, there is conﬁrmation which is uniformity of the

ground. When you look at the plot you see how level it is across. Trash coverage, make sure all your trash is buried underneath your dead to furrow which is your last pass that you make,” said Flory. “Make sure that it’s straight… make sure there is only one wheel track showing.” “Make sure that it is continuous depth through… depth is very important,” added Flory. “Have a depth maintained the same from one end to the other … eight inches depth.” “They want it straight,”

Rhoades said. “They want every bottom matching the previous round so you can’t tell if I did this with a one-bottom or a hundred bottom plow. You want it to look like I did it with one swath down and one swath back and be done with it.” Mike Rhoades won the Ohio State Senior Small Class and will be representing Darke County at the Nationals. Rhoades will be competing August 14 and 15 in Belmont, IA. “I’m excited,” said Rhoades. “I hope I can do us some good.”

Saluk notes cooperation as key to success BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

VERSAILLES – How do you sell your community to somebody who doesn’t know it well? That was the question Economic Development Director Marc Saluk posed to over 100 Partnering for Progress members and invited guests at Stillwater Valley Golf Course July 24. At the top of the list for the quarterly presentation was private-public cooperation. “There are still communities out there that lose growth opportunities because they can’t work together,” Saluk said. Darke County has succeeded due to its “all hands on deck” approach. Saluk then told the group another selling point is to tell about the people who are already here. “When I

came to Ohio, nobody ever heard of this community,” he said. “But they have heard of Whirlpool… Midmark… Fram…” If companies like these are in the community, it is more likely other companies will consider Darke County as an option for their location plans. Saluk talked about quality of life as something companies look at: low crime rate, health care, housing, public schools, recreational opportunities. All of these are strong points for Darke County. Site Selection magazine recently ranked Darke County No. 17 in the nation for location desirability. Hometown Opportunity is another plus for Darke, Mercer and Auglaize counties. The website is designed to keep local talent in the area and allow local companies better recruiting

options to meet their needs. “Students use this to come back here when they graduate,” Saluk told the group. A big factor for Darke County, according to Saluk, is Partnering for Progress. It has fostered regional and community cooperation, as well as partnerships with education, government and industry. “We’re nine and zero,” he said. “Nine times we went to companies that were going to close their doors or move… it hasn’t happened.” He reminded members and visitors where they came from a few short years ago… and how much they’ve come together. Lisa Wendel, Darke County Workforce Development Specialist, presented a sobering look at today’s needs in the emerging workforce: manufacturing. “That’s where the need is now,” she said. “We’re still operating under the old perceptions of manufacturing…” To make her point, she ran an old ‘I love Lucy’ clip where she and friend Ethel were on a candy assembly line. “We want to change that perception with kids,” she said. “Manufacturing is NOT what it used to be.” She pointed out today’s requirements are different. “Six out of 10 skilled worker jobs can be left unﬁlled for

up to 90 days.” Meeting the need for skilled workers is their focus today. “In three years we want to triple the number of graduates in career technology; we want to double the engineering

degrees.” Some of Wendel’s current and future steps include Career Day for sophomores, have a job shadowing opportunity for every junior and internships for

seniors. She also wants educators to focus more on career readiness. “We have to start young. We want school to be about career readiness,” she said.

Delaplane to ﬁnish term, not seek re-election BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – “I guess this will be my ﬁrst announcement… the proper way,” Darke County Commissioner Diane Delaplane said, grinning. She’d mentioned it at a Republican Executive meeting; simply made the comment “I won’t be running for reelection, but will complete my term.” The rest is history. Word got out. There was no speciﬁc reason for her decision but rather a combination of factors: family, her husband Don is retired… children, grandchildren. “I love what I’m doing,” she said. “But another term, I’d be ‘pushing’ 70. I want it (my term) to be productive. I just thought it was wise.” She added she sought guidance with prayer. “Jesus helped me,” she said. “I decided to go with it. When you begin to question like that, it’s time to move on.” Delaplane said the highlight of her career as a commissioner was being involved in the low point – budget cuts – then to the turnaround in the county. “We now have money to work with,” she said, “but we also have to play catchup with needed projects… repairs, replacements…”

Darke County Commissioner Diane Delaplane

She was pleased the county was able to work with other agencies like Economic Development and the Visitor’s Bureau. “We’re working together. That’s a strong positive.” At the same time, the low point was the budget cuts. “It affected our employees, their families. That was a hard thing to do.” She is thankful to those who have supported her throughout her terms. “They (my supporters) have been awesome,” she said. “They have volunteered… they have helped me physically, mentally and ﬁnancially. We’ve been able to present a good, strong team effort.” Delaplane noted she would continue working with the party and volunteering. She requested her supporters and the county

continue to support their elected officials. “We have some of the best in the state,” she said. She has planted ‘seeds’ with individuals she thought might make good candidates if they wish to run. She wasn’t sure how successfully – “the timing doesn’t seem to be right… but you never know what might happen.” Would she like to see a woman replace her since she became the first female commissioner in the county? She thought yes, but “whoever is interested, seek it… let the public decide.” The public officials she works with have asked her to reconsider her decision. She said she appreciated that, then… “I’ll still be here for another year and a half.”

Bible Fellowship helps overcome fear GREENVILLE – If you wrestle with, worry, anxiety, and fear you are not alone. Worry, anxiety, fear, and panic are escalating levels of response to an approaching unpleasant situation. According to researchers a relatively large percentage of the population is afflicted with troubles in which these emotions play a central role. Worry and anxiety tend to deal with the future: typically ill-defined or even unknown potential problems. Fear and panic are considered to be responses to well-defined, more immediate threats. The situation causing discomfort

could be real or imagined. Beginning on Sept. 15, the biblical counseling ministry of Bible Fellowship Church is offering an eight-week workshop entitled When I am Afraid. The study will concern overcoming the problems of worry, anxiety, and fear from a biblical perspective. The workshop will be held at the YMCA in Greenville from 7-8:30 p.m. every Tuesday night. The registration fee is $10 and includes the workbook and all materials. Call the church ofﬁce at 547-1952 for more information or register online at www. biblefellowship.com. Pastor Cobb, the teaching pastor of Bible Fellowship, said, “We do not claim to be experts but we have seen good results helping people deal with these kinds of problems. We want to offer the community help from a biblical perspective.”

Students are hard at working getting their 4-H Beef Club entry ready for the Annie Oakley Festival Parade. (Bob Robinson photo)

Model T highlight of parade BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Between 80 and 90 entries composed the 2015 Annie Oakley Festival Parade, starting at the Darke County Fairgrounds and working its way to the Greenville Circle on July 25. Returning after a year’s absence, it had all the necessary ingredients for success… bands, community groups, ﬁrst responders, public servants, local businesses and organizations… the Shriners and a 100year-old Model T. It came off the production line April 23, 1915. According to owner Darrell Biddlestone, Annie might have ridden in one of those cars at one time. This year Senior Scribes Scholarship recipient Shelby Schepis joined a long list of VIP passengers. “John Boehner and Jon Hein were parade passengers,” Biddlestone said. “There was also Darke County’s ﬁrst (and only) woman sheriff, Margaret Howard. When Jim Doseck was Grand Marshall, he rode in this car.” Biddlestone noted his riders also included Bess Edwards and many more. The Model T tops out at 45 miles per hour. “I’m

waiting to see how this works,” Shelby said quietly. In the parade, however, it will only be going about 5 mph. “Well, that will be okay,” she noted. She added it was an honor to represent the Senior Scribes Scholarship Fund. Shelby, Biddlestone and his Model T entered the parade to promote awareness of the Fund, which through sponsors and donations, has awarded nearly $56,000 in scholarships to Darke County young people. A little further toward the front Darke County Fair royalty – 2014 and 2015 – prepared their vehicles for the drive through town… while even further Early Bird Publisher Keith Foutz and his wife Peggy prepared a vintage Corvette for the trek. The newspaper’s mascot, Scoop, showed up a little later reading his morning Early Bird newspaper. Close to the Grandstand, the Shriners – old hands at this - were standing around talking. The parade stopped in front of the courthouse for the Pledge of Allegiance, and Annie Oakley Festival Committee members Jennifer Peck and JoEllen Melling sang the National Anthem.

GREENVILLE – In an ongoing commitment to providing the highest quality early learning and childcare for the residents of Darke County, the YMCA of Darke County has been working on exciting program updates, which also include a name change to The Greenville Y Child Development Center. “As one of our YMCA national areas of focus, youth development is foundational to us,” said CEO Sam Casalano. “We believe that the skills and values children learn early on are vital building blocks for quality of life and future success. As we strive to support the development of every child cognitively, physically, spiritually and socially, and also recognize the essential nature of our partnership between school and home, it is our desire that every child realize their full potential, resulting in conﬁdent kids today and contributing and engaged adults tomorrow.

Shanna Good

Katelyn Roberts

Our name change is part of our journey and we are grateful to partner with families in our wonderful community.” Another exciting update for the Child Development Center involves a new director. Katelyn Roberts joins the team as Director of Child Development. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Miami University with a specialty in Early Childhood Education. She previously served as a lead toddler teacher in a NAEYC accredited program (the Na-

tional Association for the Education of Young Children is the highest and most distinguished accrediting board), served as a YMCA day camp director and also as a YMCA camp counselor and YMCA before and after school administrator. Both her background in education as well as previous YMCA experience position her well to take the early learning programs to the next level of excellence. To better assist the growing program, Interim Director Shanna Good will remain as the Associate Director of Child Development. Shanna’s extensive knowledge of the community and years of YMCA service make her an ideal ﬁt to compliment and complete the leadership

team. “We are excited to welcome Katie and we look forward to great things under her leadership. We are also pleased to have Shanna Good remain with our Child Development Center as part of her ongoing YMCA responsibilities. Shanna also serves as our Member Services Director and is a strong asset to our association,” noted Casalano. To better serve families, hours of operation will expand to 5:30 a.m.-6 p.m., Monday through Friday, effective in September.

GHS Cheer donates to ‘Team Avi’ CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

Gathering visitors say event is ‘awesome’! BOB ROBINSON

ASSOCIATE EDITOR brobinson@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – “It’s awesome,” said Stephanie Klingshirn of Rossburg on July 25. “The number of vendors they have… it’s awesome,” she repeated. “I’ve already spent too much money.” Klingshirn is not alone in her view of this year’s Gathering at Garst. Carri Prinkey of Union City dittoed the ‘awesome,’ adding “there’s nothing else like it around.” Husband Ryan agreed it’s great, however he noted most of his money is being spent on food. Greenville resident Angie Deeter loved the community aspect. “I just love it so much,” she said. “Just getting everybody from the community together is great.” According to Jenny Clark, coordinator for the event, putting the Gathering together is a massive job, requiring the efforts of 30 committee members and over 100 volunteers. She’s delighted with the success of those efforts. “We’ve got 85 vendors here,” she said. “There are another 30 vendors on the encampment side.” An estimated 10,000 people attended the Gathering in 2014. She anticipated it would be increased this year. “We have a different theme every year,” Clark said. This year’s theme was ‘Remembering the Heroes & Legends of Darke

County,’ including Annie Oakley, Zachary Lansdowne and Lowell Thomas. Next year’s theme will be the role transportation has played in the county’s development. The Gathering offered events, entertainment, specialty items and food for all ages. Entertainment included Double Eagle, an antique auction at the Lewis and Clark Trailside Tavern Tent, Daniel Boone, the Mad River Light Artillery and much more. Beer was sold for the ﬁrst time at the new Tavern tent. Visitors were able to meet the new Darke County Visitors Bureau director, Matthew Staugler. The Gathering also offers increased trafﬁc for the museum. In 2014, over the two-day period, there were 329 visitors and the gift shop experienced record sales. Children tackled the Light Foundation’s “I Conquered the Gauntlet” challenge. They had to climb over hay bales, crawl through a tunnel and walk across a 6”x6” board. On the other side of the museum, children were tackling the Annie Oakley challenge… trying to shoot a ping pong ball off one or more bottles with rubber band guns. Eight-year-old Corinne Claybaugh got the job done and admitted she liked “being a sharpshooter.” Will she try for Miss Annie Oakley at the Annie Oakley Festival some day? “Maybe,” she said.

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Cheerleaders recently pulled together and raised over $1,800 to help 4-year-old in her battle following brain tumor surgery. Aviana and her mom Corri Finton were presented with $1,831.30 and a gift card Tuesday afternoon from the entire cheer squad at Greenville High School. The money was raised by the Varsity and JV cheerleaders after learning of Avi recovering from a June 26 surgery to remove a life-threatening tumor near the base of her spinal cord. In addition to donations from the community, the GHS cheer team held a fundraising Car Wash for ‘Team Avi’ Sunday at the Super Wash on Martin Street in Greenville. “The girls all worked so hard the entire 3 hours with a positive attitude during the car wash,” said Greenville Cheer Coordinator Stacie Ward. “I hope this has given them a small taste or how rewarding it can be to give selﬂessly and instills a desire to always look beyond themselves to the need of others!” Though the surgery

GREENVILLE – “We have two options,” said Veterans Honor Guard member Fred Dean. “We can get a retired transit bus owned by the City of Greenville or we can get a new one.” Either way, the old one has to be replaced. Dean was referring to the van he drives to carry Honor Guard members in parades and to ceremonies for veterans who have passed away. “It looks great inside; it looks great outside,” he said, but the undercarriage is rusting out badly. “It’s too old… the undercarriage has a bad case of cancer and the

van needs to be replaced.” The current van is a ‘95 bus with a ’94 chassis. Because of seating capacity, only a commercially licensed (CDL) person can drive it. The Greenville Transit bus will likely be around an ’06, Dean said, and it will be well-maintained. At the same time, it has to have 106,000 to 110,000 miles on it before it can be released. “There are two coming up. We can probably get one of those in the spring,” Dean added. “It will have to be modiﬁed before we can use it.” One example he gave is the handicap ramp.

Minuteman Press is donating printing for the photo they’ll put on the cans. No money has been raised at this point. Either way, the options will be 14-seat vans (plus driver), Dean noted. A CDL won’t be needed to drive it. He is requesting community help for the project. Donations can be made to the American Legion Post 140, 325 No. Ohio St., ATTN: Honor Guard.

Bicentennial Commission unveiled a silver peace pipe that will go on display Saturday in the Tecumseh Room of the Darke County Parks District. The handcrafted sterling silver pipe was created by Stephen Smithers, a silversmith from Massachusetts. It is a replica of the original Shawnee pipe that was temporarily on display in 2014 at the Shawnee Prairie Preserve during the 200 year anniversary of the 1814 Second Treaty of Greene Ville. As part of the reenactment of the famous Second Treaty, several characters representing the era were on-hand... including General William Henry Harrison (Dan Schipfer), Secretary James Dill (Paul Arnold), Gov. Lewis Cass and his wife (John & Karen Burkett), Lewis & Clark (Scott Mandrel & Bud Clark), Tecumseh (David Morris), Shawnee Chief Black Hoof (Rusty Cottrel), Blue Jacket (Rev.

Fred Shaw), Potawatomi Warrior (Brian Charles), Spiritual Leader (Steward King), Uncle Sam (Tom Miller) and others. According to Bicentennial Commission President Susan Gray, representatives of different tribes attended the ceremony from as far away as Canada. In addition to storytelling, several demonstrations and a drum ceremony, a special presentation was made by “Tecumseh” of the Peace and Friendship Wampum Belt to Parks District Director Roger Van Frank. The belt was crafted by Nancy Stump and will be on display in the Tecumseh Room along with the peace pipe. The Second Treaty included the Wyandots, Delawares, Shawnee, Senecas and Miamis was signed in Greene Ville on July 22, 1814. Once the Indian tribes realized they could no longer ally themselves with the British due to the defeat in the war of

1812, they agreed to this treaty of peace. A true scaled replica of the treaty was on-hand for characters in attendance to perform a symbolic signing during the ceremony. According to historic documents, signers of the actual treaty that represented the United States were William Henry Harrison and Gov. Lewis Cass of the Michigan territory. The symbolic silver replica peace pipe was made possible through funds donated by the Bicentennial Commission, the Parks District, Harry Stephens Memorial Foundation, the Greenville Rotary Club and a few private donors. It will be on display beginning Aug. 1 at the Shawnee Prairie Preserve for the public to see.

They are a wonderful group of ladies who are dedicated to creating a quality event for all to

New book club forms at Greenville Library GREENVILLE – The Greenville Public Library is hosting a new bookclub led by Melinda Guerra. Melinda explains, “Having intentionally avoided book clubs for the last decade, I winced when offered the opportunity to start one for the library. I chafe at the reputation of book clubs: an absence of book discussion, a repetitive book list, an inability to stay on track, a lack of desire to engage with books that challenge personal opinions…the list could go on. “

She said yes anyway, deciding “a book club for non book club people” could draw together those who similarly avoid book clubs and want a low-commitment opportunity to spend time actively discussing a diverse book selection with other readers. She invites you to set aside your preconceived notions about book clubs (positive, negative, ambivalent, or indifferent) and consider participating in one they are shaping to be intentionally different: Bookish. The ﬁrst meeting for

Bookish will be Aug. 17, 6 p.m., on the third floor of the library. They will be discussing Celeste Ng’s Everything I Never Told You, a book that tells a story of loss and in doing so, explores relationships, gender, race, and the pressures that often shape interactions between parents and their children. To make the books accessible, the library has, in addition to the copy in circulation, purchased five books for use by the first five Bookish participants who email her to reserve a copy. If you aren’t one of the first five, if you prefer audiobooks, or if you are a person who likes to mark up your copy as you read, the book is also available for purchase from nearby bookstores and online retailers. Contact Melinda at gplbookclub@gmail.com for more information, to reserve your book and/or space for the August meeting, or to get added to the update list for future Bookish meetings.
