The Early Bird earns award for The Gathering edition GREENVILLE – The Early Bird is an Inland Press award winner for 2014. The weekly hometown community newspaper earned second place for its 2013 The Gathering at Garst special edition. Newspapers from across the country were invited to submit entries for the new business they developed over the past year. The contest celebrates original ideas and initiatives that grow revenue from new or legacy sources. Not only is the entry judged on the revenue it creates, but also on design and creativity. According to Inland Press, only the best, most creative, most proﬁtable ideas and products are

recognized. Keith Foutz, publisher, stated, “We are extremely honored and pleased to once again receive recognition from our newspaper peers in this national contest sponsored by The Inland Press organization.” He continued, “It is especially gratifying considering the level of competition consisting of newspapers of varying sizes, most with substantially far greater resources available.” The Early Bird submitted its entry in the Arts/Entertainment category and competed against newspapers with a circulation of 10,000-49,999. Foutz praised his staff for their dedication to

the award winning newspaper, “The credit for our on-going success in being recognized by both Editor and Publisher, (the national trade publication of newspapers) and now The Inland Press organization goes entirely to our dedicated team who we are exceptionally proud of for their creativity and work ethic. They are undoubtedly our most valuable assets who take pride in what they do and the product they each help to produce.” Managing Editor Ryan Berry added, “Not only is this a reﬂection on The Early Bird, but also The Gathering at Garst committee. We worked handin-hand with the organization to develop a top-

notch product. I’m proud of the work the editorial, production and sales teams did to make this an award winning tabloid.” “As both The Early Bird and Bluebagmedia continue to grow and expand, we look forward to continuing to be your locally owned and operated newspaper of choice for Darke and surrounding counties,” said Foutz. The award will be presented Aug. 8 during Inland Press’ New Business Development Conference. Inland was founded in 1885 by a small group of Midwestern publishers. It has approximately 1,200 member newspapers that come from all 50 states, Canada and

Bermuda. Family-owned and community newspapers are especially active members in Inland,

but participants include some of America’s largest metro dailies as well.

Getting ready for Longest Yard Sale

Second Treaty of Greenville’s Bowery dedicated to the public GREENVILLE – “In the 1990’s we had five pow-wows in this BOB ROBINSON field,” said Associate Editor State Repbluebagmedia.com resentative Jim Buchy. Pointing to the array of 250-year-old oak trees, he added “I remember at one of them, a chief had a tear in his eye… he was thinking ‘my ancestors probably stood under this tree.’” Buchy was speaking to a large crowd surrounding The Bowery, built for the Bi-Centennial Anniversary of the Second Treaty of Greenville… The Peace and Friendship Summit held July 26. The Bowery was about 100 yards east of the Anthony Wayne Peace Council House next to Garst Museum. Across the road, the Garst Gathering was getting into full swing for the weekend. Buchy told about his great grandfather owning the land in 1878. He owned a meat packing plant and, a generation later as a young boy, Buchy was often in the field running down cows. “Today,” he added, “the big charge is to teach our history.”

State Rep. Jim Buchy was the opening speaker at the recently completed Bowery and opening of the Peace and Friendship Summit (Bob Robinson photo)

He thanked local historian Susan Gray for her lifetime spent working to preserve the heritage between today’s population and Native Americans. Gray said The Bowery is here for the public to use. “We give it to the Parks District to take care of,” Gray said… then added “I’ll be watching.” Darke County Parks District President Steve Shaltry told Gray her contribution has been invaluable. “We must learn from the past to have a better future,” he added. The opening ceremony of the Peace and Friendship Summit included the placing of ﬂags around The Bowery, native prayers and praise. There were proclamations from House

Speaker John Boehner’s ofﬁce, State Senator Bill Beagle on behalf of Gov. John Kasich and Senator Keith Faber, Representatives Buchy and Richard Adams, Greenville Mayor Mike Bowers and Commissioner Diane Delaplane. Wampum Belts were presented to representatives of Native American nations: Chief Ben Barnes and Roy Baldridge, Shawnee Nation, Oklahoma; Chief Councillor Deborah Pegahmagabow, EldersArthur and Roland; Pegahmagabow, Stewart King, Wasauksing First Nation, Ontario, Canada; George Henry-Muncie Lenape, Ontario, Canada; Maurice Switzer,

Ramco is Business of the Quarter GREENVILLE – Ramco Motors was recognized as the BusiRYAN BERRY ness of the Managing Editor Quarter by bluebagmedia.com Partnering for Progress (P4P) at its quarterly meeting on July 25. Marc Saluk, director of Darke County Economic Development, pointed out the award doesn’t always recognize the business that is investing a lot of money back into the company or hiring hundreds of workers. The award is given for out-of-the-box thinking or a commitment to workforce and economic development. Ramco is one of those companies that doesn’t make a lot of headlines, but works behind the scenes to make sure the community’s workforce is prepared. According to Saluk, Dave Dunaway, owner, and Casey Frazee, human resources, are part of a small company, but they are always willing to serve where needed. Ramco is part of Darke County’s superintendents and manufacturing committee and participates in tours for educators.

Lisa Wendel, workforce development coordinator, pointed out Dunaway is involved in a lot of things that don’t produce immediate beneﬁts. He puts words into action. Mathematics and science is stressed to students, but there are few avenues for them to showcase their work. Dunaway volunteers to judge the local science fair. “He does the tiny things,” she said. Dunaway noted his company is doing what it needs to do to succeed. “What we’re doing (in Darke County) is special,” he said. “Without Partnering for Progress and the Chamber it would be

more difﬁcult.” The State of Ohio is also beginning to understand the progress Darke County has made in economic and workforce development is special. A representative from Treasurer Josh Mandel’s ofﬁce visited the county and was initially supposed to be here for a two-hour visit. After spending nearly the entire day with Saluk and going over the county’s comprehensive plan and learning of the cooperation between Mercer and Darke Counties, the representative

beginning to assault her daughter. She tried to stop it and Deal struck her on the back of the head with closed ﬁst and slapped her on the left side of her face. There was redness with what appeared to be a small abrasion where he allegedly struck her. Danielle refused to make a statement to police. Deal was located and arrested on a Darke County warrant for a probation violation and issued a citation for Assault. Deal told the ofﬁcer he did not know what he was talking about. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE On July 26 police were dispatched regarding a domestic violence complaint. The victim told police she had been arguing with Justin Gantt all day. Around 5 p.m. he allegedly became upset and began pulling her hair. Then he put his hand over her mouth and nose until she could not breathe, grabbed her feet and pulled her off the couch, then squeezed her neck until she could not breathe. Gantt allegedly said “I’ll kill you *****.” A witness who also stayed at the residence saw Gantt squeezing the victim’s throat and called police. There were no visible injuries, however based upon the two statements Gantt was arrested on Misdemeanor Domestic Violence and taken to the Mercer County jail. Gantt said they’d been arguing all day but he had not touched the victim. DISORDERLY CONDUCT On July 25 police were dispatched to Wayne Healthcare regarding a disorderly patient, Bradley Oldiges, who was allegedly intoxicated and threatened a doctor. Police found Oldiges sitting at the E.R. entrance on a bench. When he was asked what was going on

he became belligerent and began swearing at the officers. He had the odor of an alcoholic beverage on him. He was told to stop several times. Oldiges then stood up, balled his fists and began threatening the officers, saying he would “beat their ***.” He took an aggressive fighting stance. At that time an officer put his hand on Oldiges’ chest and he sat down. He continued to swear at the officers so he was arrested for Disorderly Conduct and taken to Darke County Jail. DUI On July 26 about 3:30 a.m. police observed the defendant (unnamed in the report) driving at an extremely slow speed, with the vehicle license plate not illuminated. He was stopped and advised the officer he had run out of fuel and was trying to continue to his residence. He had a strong odor of alcohol on his breath, slurred speech and bloodshot eyes. He admitted to drinking an unknown amount of beer that evening. While the defendant was able to perform part of the roadside test, he refused the rest of it. He was arrested for OVI and taken to the Police Department. The defendant advised he needed to use the bathroom and agreed to giving a urine sample; also a breath test. He registered .25 on the breath test. He was cited and placed under Administrative License Suspension and released to his mother. DRUGS On July 22 police observed Marc Mayes standing on the corner of Martin and Warren Streets. After confirming an active parole arrest warrant on Mayes he was arrested. He was asked if he was in possession of any contraband

Whatever the mode of travel you may choose, please do expect plenty of traffic. The pace may slow to that of snarled rush hour traffic. It may be bumper to bumper with everyone stretching their neck to see what is on a seller’s table or in the front lawn. Do expect sudden stops to occur without warning, and drive carefully and defensively. Enjoy the spot wherever you are, because down the road a few miles may be a space where no vendors are set up and the traffic will move along as usual. You are here to enjoy the sale and most of the other vehicles are too. Many visitors plan their vacations around the sale, with some attempting the entire 690 miles. Others may opt to spend their time in a selected area, and venture off the beaten path to discover the history and charm of the land. The Darke County Visitors Bureau has received phone calls from folks coming to Ohio from Canada, California, New York, Illinois,

Peace and Friendship should be held here. It is unstained by blood… no battles have been fought here.” Chief Barnes had a message for those assembled. Noting the white man’s interest in history and re-enactments, he said “Don’t take our religious ceremonies… we respect your institutions. Respect ours.” He declined further comment after the ceremony except to add “It’s about being ordained.” He noted he couldn’t be a Rabbi, for instance. The same holds true for their religious institution. Gray, an East of the River Shawnee, agreed with the chief of the Shawnee Nation, Oklahoma, noting however “They need to respect ours. It works both ways.” Then she laughed and commented the Shawnee have always had trouble getting along.

reported there isn’t a problem that isn’t being addressed in the county. Mandel is expected to come to the county later this fall to learn about the plan for himself. One of the areas he will have a better understanding of when he leaves is workforce development. Wendel has worked with local manufacturers to develop a set of priorities for this year. The ﬁrst priority is to introduce students to manufacturing in the county and the opportunities that are available. On Oct. 3, the county will take part in National Manufacturing Day. Every 10th grade student in the county will visit a local manufacturer. The second goal is to get businesses into every school. Wendel is working with the schools and local businesses to hold career events and develop job shadowing programs in the county. The third goal is

to continue developing the Darke County Workforce Center at the Greenville Tech Center. This center is open to all Darke County students. The Center will continue to work on programs for the under skilled, incumbent and future workforce. One of the biggest problems the county currently faces is buildings and land. According to Saluk, his ofﬁce has had to pass over several opportunities because there is not enough available land. Some manufacturers have requested between 100300 acres and there is nothing close to that in the county. Some have even asked for buildings with 30-foot high ceilings, of which there are very few available in the region.

Reverse Job Fair helps local job seekers and employers PIQUA – Instead of a traditional job fair where employers set up booths and jobseekers circulate among the booths, jobseekers eagerly wait at their tables with a stack of their resumes while employers walk amongst the displays and determine who they want to speak with as a good candidate to bring into their company. Since it has become more important than ever to stand out

in today’s job search, a “reverse” job fair helps job seekers market their skills, attitude and abilities to ﬁnd employment. OhioMeansJobs Darke County is co-sponsoring a Reverse Job Fair on Aug. 26, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Ft. Piqua Plaza, Piqua. In order for the job seeker to be prepared for such an event, there will be a required “Boot Camp” a week prior to the Reverse Job Fair.

These mandatory sessions prepare the job seeker with mock interviews, top notch resumes, marketing ideas and preparation for their less than 60 second elevator speech. Haircuts and clothing have been graciously donated by area businesses and will be available for those who need help with these items. “The employers love the concept as this assists with the prescreening and speeds up the hiring process” said Sherry Mueller with the OhioMeansJobs Darke County Workforce Development. “The employers get more of an idea of job skills and know these individuals are more assertive”. The job seekers beneﬁt tremendously as well, not only by the preparation of the boot camp, but also knowing they are getting to meet with the company representatives in person. With today’s technology of internet applications and the hiring managers taking on more tasks, it is almost unheard of to stop into a

ON YOUR MIND

READERS WRITE Gnashing of Teeth Dear Editor, My high school Civics teacher, Mr. Robert Spiller, helped formulate my belief of American Exceptionalism. Then, at the age of 17, I enlisted in the U.S. Navy. Before my 21st birthday I had visited over 20 foreign ports, traveled around the world and crossed the equator twice, which helped support my ideology. I found that U.S. was the only country that you had a right to think wrong and to verbalize those thoughts. The attitude in 1952 was you may vehemently disagree with what a person said but would passionately defend their right to say it. I love freedom of speech. It seems, today, many think if you disagree with them they should silence you. Jesus described hell in Matthew 13:42 “…a furnace of ﬁre: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.” Today there is a gnashing of teeth in our culture that has been spawned in hell, conceived in a perverted psychological need to bully, incubated in maliciousness, birthed by left wing media and name Political Correctness (PC). The gnashing of teeth forced Ronald Sterling to sell the Clippers. I would rather defend his right to say abhorrent things than to lose the concept of free speech. Are people so mindless that they are afraid to confront opposing ideas in the public square? The gnashing of teeth caused HGTV to cancel a proposed reality show because the evangelical starts, in their private life, were actively anti-abortion and pro-traditional marriage, neither of which had any effect on the show. The show, Flip It Forward, would feature the twin brothers helping less fortunate families own their dream home. The gnashing of teeth forced Condoleeza Rice, because she supported President Bush in the Iraq war, to cancel a speaking engagement at Rutgers University. The gnashing of teeth forced the resignation of Brendan Eich from his position as CEO of Mozilla soon after his appointment because six years prior he donated to Proposition 8 in California in support of traditional marriage. The attack on free speech is epidemic. Rational debate conciliates opinions not force or coercion. Charles J. Arnett, Union

Working to curb the drug problem The drug problem facing our community in western Ohio and across the state is an issue that requires persistent attention and steadfast resolve. I have been very tuned into this issue and will keep working to address it. Last summer, a study committee traveled across the state to learn more JIM BUCHY about the drug problem facing us. As OHIO REPRESENTATIVE a result, the committee was able to discuss several policy initiatives that would help those addicted to drugs in Ohio. The information gathered in those committee meetings resulted in a number of bills that primarily focused on access to high quality recovery care. This summer, my colleagues and I are planning to travel the state to further study law enforcement’s role in curbing this problem. Law enforcement needs the ability to identify users and peddlers in order to provide them with the help they need—sometimes traditional methods such as incarceration only make the problem worse. Listening to the experts on the ground will help identify ways that Ohio can improve the ability of law enforcement to work on this issue. In order to solve the growing drug problem, we must have a comprehensive plan for treatment and enforcement. To accomplish this, the barriers between law enforcement jurisdictions must be broken down so that they can work more effectively to crack down on drug rings. Unfortunately, it seems Ohio’s law enforcement ofﬁcers often have their hands tied when encountering drug problems. A major focus of the committee work will be determining barriers in law enforcement communication and developing a strategic plan for all jurisdictions to work together. The committee will travel Ohio, gathering input from experts and citizens alike from each region in the state. At the conclusion of the process, the committee will prepare a comprehensive report to help guide policy initiatives in the legislature over the next year. The increasing drug problem in the state is something we should all be concerned about. There is a lot of work yet to do, but I will continue to address this issue with the help of the local law enforcement community and the mental health and addiction services folks. The ﬁght against drugs in our state is a battle that must be steadfast in its effort and resolve. Please give me your opinion on this topic and others in the news this month by completing an online survey at tinyurl.com/buchyjuly2014.

DNA Says All You Need to Know Ryan’s World by Ryan Berry Managing Editor bluebagmedia.com

“Your whole famRYAN BERRY MANAGING ily is bizarre!” is what EDITOR a co-worker said to me. I thought, “Really! You’re just now ﬁguring that out?” After three years of writing this column I thought I had conveyed that thought fairly well. Very seldom do I mention my extended family or in-laws in my columns. It isn’t necessary - my daughters carry their DNA. Let me share some of the similarities I’ve seen. My older brother picked up the nickname “The Vulture” because he would make sure there weren’t any leftovers. My oldest daughter has that gene in her DNA. My younger brother is an extremely ﬁnicky eater. Condiments are his Kryptonite. We couldn’t have an open bottle of ketchup on the table because he claimed he couldn’t

L a s t week, I introd u c e d R o b ert McDonald, SHERROD President BROWN Obama’s U.S. SENATOR nominee for Secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA), at his conﬁrmation hearing before the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. The next day, the Committee –13 other senators and I – voted unanimously to approve his nomination. The full Senate must now vote on his conﬁrmation. I voted in support of Robert McDonald’s nomination because I believe he possesses the skills and integrity needed to advocate for our nation’s veterans. As a U.S. Army veteran and the former CEO of Proctor and Gamble, he has proved his commitment to our nation and his effectiveness as a

and I. To her credit, she did warn our oldest not to eat the chips. This leads to a character ﬂaw our oldest has developed. She does not listen or care what the rest of us say (which I think has more to do with her being a teen rather than a gene that was passed down from either side of the family, but if it is a gene - it came from her mom’s side). After eating two or three chips she realizes there is no cheese on the chips and starts yelling and screaming. Most people would learn after the ﬁrst time not to eat chips from an open single serving bag of chips, or listen to what others say. Vultures are slow learners. It still amazes me how a person’s DNA can affect every aspect of their life. My oldest recently earned her temporary driving permit and until the other day had not attempted to drive my car – a manual transmission. For most people this means you need to learn to shift. For her it means – three

pedals – AAAAAAGHH – which one do I step on. We’re finding out two pedals confuse her. “I thought I was hitting the brake.” If I had a dollar every time I’ve heard that come from her mouth I would have a good down payment on the deductible to fix the dent she put in the front of my car. I’m absolutely certain her driving gene did not come from my side of the family. My side, including my mom, can drive a stick shift. My wife, on the other hand, cannot drive a stick and had three or four accidents in a year’s time (some were her fault; some weren’t). My daughter wanted to learn to drive my car. I didn’t want to teach her. She got into my car (without me present), started it, left it in gear, hit the gas, and lifted her foot off the clutch. I guess she didn’t see my pickup truck twofeet in front of her. Can you guess what the first words out of her mouth were? C’mon…it’s an easy one. “I thought I was hitting the brake.”

stand the smell. To test his sense of smell we would open the ketchup and hide it under the table. He would smell it and throw a ﬁt. My older brother and I would wait until our younger brother was sleeping and coat his lips with ketchup just to hear him yell when he woke up. My youngest daughter is our condiment hating, ﬁnicky eater. My youngest has also developed a habit of licking the cheese off of her Doritos and sticking the chips back in the bag. (I need to stress this is a single serving bag. She and I would be having a highly animated daddy/daughter discussion if this were a family size bag. I also carry a bit of the vulture gene…so don’t mess with my food.) I’m not sure why she doesn’t throw the bag away, but I’m guessing it is for the same reason we’ve found open boxes of macaroni and cheese, sans cheese packets. It comes from the procrastinating gene she picked up from my wife

leader. Voting to conﬁrm McDonald will allow him to swiftly begin tackling the VA’s problems, ensuring that our veterans are receiving quality healthcare they deserve. As one of 14 Senators chosen to serve on the 2014 Senate-House conference committee to negotiate the veterans’ reform legislation, I am committed to rebuilding the VA by increasing accountability for senior VA employees; allowing qualiﬁed veterans in remote locations who are experiencing long wait times to receive care from another institution; and requiring the VA to hire more doctors, nurses, and other needed staff. We can’t afford to let partisan politics hinder these negotiations. Our nation’s obligation to our

veterans relies on quick passage of this bill and the confirmation of McDonald as Secretary of the VA so he can implement these reforms. Along with shortening wait times, the VA must collaborate more with the Department of Defense (DOD) to better serve post 9/11 veterans, including those facing Post-Traumatic Stress, mild Traumatic Brain Injury, or other “invisible injuries.” Physical wounds are visible and easy to document but some veterans with PTS and mTBI have been denied disability claims because it is difficult prove the link between their injuries and their military service. That’s why I wrote and introduced the Significant Event Tracker (SET) Act based on solutions brought to me by Michael Fairman, an Ohio

combat veteran and advocate for soldiers with Post-Traumatic Stress. The SET Act creates individualized reports to track soldiers’ exposure to events, such as roadside bombings, that could potentially lead to “invisible injuries.” This will ease the burden of proving the cause of their injury for veterans so they can focus fully on their recovery. Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth (IL-8), an Iraq war veteran, will soon introduce the bill in the House of Representatives. Our veterans deserve care beﬁtting their service to this country. The Senate must commit itself to conﬁrming Robert McDonald to lead the VA and passing legislation that ensures quality, timely care for visible and invisible injuries alike.

Gary and Mildred Malott

Seed Saving Program at library GREENVILLE – On Aug. 7, 6:30 p.m., Gary and Mildred Malott will give a presentation at the Greenville Public Library on gardening and saving seeds as part of the Growing Harvest Seed Library project. Just come up to the third ﬂoor Meeting Room to see their display of vegetables and seeds and to learn anything you want to know about nonGMO produce and heirloom seeds. As part of this project, our Library has set up drawers near the Reference Desk that contain seeds that patrons can borrow for personal planting. All that is asked is that after harvest, a few seeds are returned to the Seed Library for use next year. They must be from the plants grown from the borrowed seeds - or a donation of other openpollinated, heirloom seed varieties. Heirloom seeds mean they will produce plants the next season which will be the same as the parent plant. This is the traditional, self-sustaining practice that gardeners and farmers have used through the centuries. Saving seeds gives a grower an invalu-

able resource. Gary and Mildred have many years of experience - “most of our lives.” They moved to the Palestine area in 1978 and set out many large garden plots on tillable wetland that is split by a road and a creek and “is not ﬂat.” Their largest garden was 60 x 160 feet with others at 30 x 50 feet. They grow 6-8 different varieties of potatoes, 175 tomato plants of different kinds, and their famous “turkey crawl” greenbean which was brought up from Tennessee - and just happens to need tied up on 200 feet of trellis. They save seeds from everything and will share their techniques. “We make it simple.” Be prepared to hear about saving seeds from tomatoes, cantaloupes, watermelons, beans; how to grow asparagus, radishes, lettuce, peas, onions, garlic, dill, fennel; and gardening techniques like tepees, t-poles, and fence. And anything more! It should be a fun and educational meeting and the Library is grateful to the Malott’s for their willingness to share their valuable expertise.

Young All-Star remembered at inaugural tournament

91-yr-old walks 5K for his granddaughter BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR WWW.BLUEBAGMEDIA.COM

GREENVILLE – Charles W. Adams, 91, took 79:21 minutes to ﬁnish his Breast Cancer Awareness 5K Run/ Walk… and he had a cheering crowd welcoming him across the ﬁnish line. He was part of “Mary Beth’s Mob,” about three dozen friends and family members walking to support one of their own. His granddaughter, Mary Beth Bozarth, 40, is a heart and vascular ICU nurse at Miami Valley Hospital. She was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer in April and has been undergoing radiation and chemotherapy.

“I’m a lucky one,” she said. “I will be a survivor… a little sick and a little bald… but I’ll survive.” Adams, a WWII veteran, had just returned from Washington, D.C. where he helped put a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. “I was in the Paciﬁc for two years,” the gentleman said. A family friend pointed out what Bozarth failed to note. “Mary Beth didn’t even know they were coming. They put this whole thing together on Facebook.” Nearly all dressed in pink; they walked the 5K carrying signs and banners… “Mary Beth’s Mob is walking over cancer!”

BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER www.bluebagmedia.com UNION CITY, Ind. One year after the tragic death of an 8-year-old Union City all-star baseball player, the youth sports community gathered to play a beneﬁt baseball tournament in his memory. Thirty four teams from Ohio and Indiana made their way to the Dylan Williams Memorial Baseball Park in Union City, Ind. for the inaugural Dylan Williams Baseball Invitational. The four day tournament consisted of three age group categories: 8U, 10U and 12U. Each team paid an entry fee into the tournament, with all the proceeds from the weekend going to the Dylan Williams Forever an AllStar Foundation. Dylan was fatally injured July 16, 2013 after being hit in the neck by a baseball during allstar practice. Since then the Williams family and friends have worked to keep the young All-Star’s memory alive and raise awareness for sports safety. According to Dylan’s mom, Georgiana Wil-

GHS runners take top spots in annual 5K BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR WWW.BLUEBAGMEDIA.COM GREENVILLE – Jacob Butsch, Greenville High School junior, took first place at the annual Breast Cancer Awareness 5K Run/Walk in downtown Greenville July 26 with an unofficial time of 16:58. Four seconds later he welcomed 2014 GHS graduate Calen Bruner. Bruner said he was heading off to college this fall and wanted to get an idea about his running time. Butsch said he liked playing football. “I wasn’t big enough,” he said. “I got concussions… so I decided to run instead.” Before the official race started, there was a race for young people. They started at the Annie Oakley statue, went north around the circle and back to the statue… approximately a mile. Some of them then joined approximately 325 others for the 5K. A future runner, 11-month-old Parker Eikenberry, was exploring barriers and testing his balance as mom, Kel-

lie, tried to keep up with him. She said he’d been walking since he was nine months old. Hayley Maher, Miss Annie Oakley 2014, ran the 5K in 28:12. “That’s my best time yet,” she said proudly. One annual runner, typically leading the pack in his age group, is Darke County Common Pleas Judge Jonathan Hein. His time this year was 23:56. “It’s for a good cause,” he said. “That’s why we do it. Good cause. Good

people.” Runners came in all ages. A young girl, about eight or nine, was pacing herself down the home stretch. Bystanders were calling out to her… “Good job, you’re almost there.” She passed Fourth Street then suddenly kicked it into high gear… sprinting to the ﬁnish line. Not too long after, a woman and her husband were wrapping up their walk… “He’s 78 today!” she announced, proudly. Time about 60 minutes.

GYFL teaches Heads Up Football BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE - “Lets face it, this is a violent sport and we need to treat it as such,” said third grade Greenville Youth Football League (GYFL) coach Matt Preece at a July 25 Heads Up Football clinic in Greenville. Preece, who is also a players safety coach and trainer for the GYFL organization, invited parents and players to Harmon Field in Greenville to walk them through proper safety techniques according to the USA Football’s national initiative, which all Western Ohio Junior Football Conference (WOJFC) teams are members of. The Heads Up Football program teaches the ﬁve things to know and look for as parents and players before and during the season of football. Getting to know your coaches was the ﬁrst topic Preece talked

about. He also discussed how parents can make sure their child is prepared for the heat and the importance of water. Proper fitting of equipment and the method of tackling and hitting to lessen the chance of injury on the field were some of the other thing discussed at the meeting. Finally, Preece talked about the warning signs of a concussion both on the field and later at home. At the conclusion of the Heads Up Football clinic, Preece took the

parents and players out on the field and went over the 3-methods of a proper tackle, breakdown, hit and rip. Each league who is a member of USA Football’s Heads Up Football is encouraged to go over these safety techniques prior to the start of the season. To learn more about the Heads Up Football program visit the USA Football website at usafootball.com.

Kiwanis and Miss Annie Oakley visit Darke Co. Home GREENVILLE – On June 14, the New Madison Kiwanis held its annual picnic at the Darke County Home. Club members Paul Robbins, Bill Marshall, Tony Ayette, and Kenny Baker cooked their famous sausage sandwiches to serve to the residents, their families, and employees of the County Home. The kitchen staff of the Home rounds out the meal by preparing a variety of side dishes to accompany the sandwiches. This year Ki-

wanis Club President Paul Robbins invited his granddaughter, Courtney Osborne, the reigning Miss Annie Oakley to attend and visit with residents of the Darke County Home. Residents enjoyed talking with Courtney and many had their picture taken with her. The photos were sent to an employee of the County Home who agreed to print copies for those residents who requested a copy of their picture.

BRADFORD – Darke County Red Cross will be at Bradford Public Library with their Pillow Case Project for all elementary school-aged children on Aug. 4, 1–2 p.m. It will be held in the library’s Community Room. The Pillowcase Project began in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina as a preparedness program for any emergency. In early 2013, the Walt Disney Company funded the design and development phase of a multi-year effort to build on this success by creating a standardized, stateof-the-art preparedness education program. As a result, the Pillowcase Project is now used by Red Cross chapters

across the United States. The objective of this program is to create a generation of children who understand the science of hazards and who are empowered to take action by practicing how to prepare for emergencies and understand that by sharing what they have learned with family and friends. Bradford Public Library is pleased to have the Darke County American Red Cross Chapter present the Pillow Case Project to area youth. Program materials will be supplied by the Red Cross and Bradford Public Library. Contact the library to sign up your child for this very special safety program in advance, 448-2612.

ARCANUM – In late March, members of the Arcanum Garden Club met to assemble and deliver 15 Easter Baskets to residents in the Arcanum Area. They were greatly appreciated by the recipients. The April meeting was held at Montage for lunch. After the meeting they adjourned to Miller’s Flowers for a walk thru and explanation of the labor involved in getting the annual ﬂowers ready for sale to eager “planting hands.” The greenhouses were showing many new items for spring. The May meeting is their designated time for planting the pots around town. Plantings are at the corners downtown, on both east and north bridges, library, Veterans Memorial Stone (at the park entrance) and at the Generation Square locations. Stop by and see the effort the ladies have put forth to enhance the Village of Arcanum.

A very lovely Ladies Tea Luncheon was set up in the home of Abby Cutright for the June Arcanum Garden Club Meeting. Co-hostess was Sue Stammen. Various types of desserts were served along with the unusual teas for sampling. Abby had the home set up with tables, set with different settings of China. Who can resist tea served in a China Cup? They all felt so pampered. Members were asked to bring along their wedding pictures, since June is considered to be Bride’s Month. The interesting roll call was “What type of ﬂowers were in your bridal bouquet.” Samples of the teas were sent home with the members for their continued enjoyment. A tour of Abby’s garden concluded the program for the day. Two new members were welcomed into the club – Evelyn Rentz and Connie Norris. Submitted by Corresponding Secretary Anita Troutwine.

Pilgrimage an emotional experience for many

Gathering at Garst visitors share thoughts and discussions with a Native American from the Living History Encampment. (Bob Robinson photo)

Entertainment, Living History and shopping highlighted Gathering GREENV I L L E – Want something unique? Or a Living HisBOB ROBINSON tory demAssociate Editor onstration? bluebagmedia.com Then there was pottery, plants and a wide variety of foods and snacks, from New Madison Kiwanis sausages to homemade pies and fresh roasted kettle corn. For those longing for the Beatles sounds of the 60s, there was Cavern Beat; plus varieties of music and entertainment, such as Green De Villes, Surrendering Dorothy, Snake Oil Medicine Man and more. Learn about the history of Darke County and the West from Native Americans and historic re-enactors such as Daniel Boone. You could even support scholarships for local teens by purchasing a Paul Ackley cartoon at The Early Bird/Blue Bag Media tent. It all took place July 26 and 27 at The Gathering at Garst. Or you can just shop. Abby Thomas of Greenville, and her two daughters Emily and Riley, were there to enjoy “a little time with the family.” She added the shopping part was a plus. Her favorite place? “Any ﬂower booth.” A young man playing ‘what looked like a guitar but really wasn’t’ stopped passers-by as he corded tunes, steel guitar style, on strange looking instruments. Chuck Raby, Pitsburg, is an Iraq war veteran putting some of

his talents to use building electronic musical gadgets, from a Monte Cristo Cigar Box (6-string electric) to a Canjo (banjo with a tin can), a Cigar Box Dulcimer and more. “I pulled this out of a trash can,” he said as he bent down to plug in an amp that looked suspiciously military in origin. He conﬁrmed it was a discarded piece of military equipment… “I’d use it more often except it has a tendency to overheat.” Raby offers his creations for sale – ranging from $125 to $450 – but also offers to help anyone wishing to build their own. He can be reached on Facebook at Chuck’s Cigar Box Guitars. “I still don’t know how to play these things,” he said. “I can’t wait for Bill Light to come in.” A few tents away a cowbell was rung, followed by the announcement, “Ma & Pa’s Kettle Corn! New batch… fresh kettle corn! Come and get it!” Shortly after that a cannon was ﬁred from the Living History Encampment across the road. Local historian John Burkett seems to be a different person every time he appears in public; he has been heard to say he sometimes has trouble deciding who he is one day to the next. On Saturday he knew exactly who he was… “A naturalist,” he said. “I work with famous people out of the past.” Personally? “Personally.” In the center of the Bowery, Cone Mindegap

(Chief Snow Owl of the East River Shawnee) was having a discussion with associates when he was kind enough to stop his meeting and explain he was from Urbana. He commented a lot of history took place “here in Darke County but there is still a tremendous amount of history in Champagne County (as well as all of Ohio).” He said “I was trying

to settle a dispute in my head between various authors (regarding the location of an historic place in Champagne County)… I found out where it was. It was almost right on the spot where I was standing.” Chief Snow Owl returned to his discussion, oblivious to the dozens of people sitting around the Bowery watching them… or just resting their feet.

Wayne Day and Beverly Burnside were engaged during the Gathering at Garst to mark their one year anniversary. (Clinton Randall photo)

Couple gets engaged at Gathering GREENVILLE - The Gathering at Garst is based on history and memories of the past. One local couple decided to make their own memory at this year’s event. Greenville couple, Wayne Day and Beverly Burnside, became engaged after Wayne popped the question while on the horse car-

riage ride July 26. “It marked our one year anniversary of being together,” Day said when asked why he picked that day to ask for Beverly’s hand in marriage at the Gathering. The couple was welcomed by cheering friends as the carriage returned. They hope to tie the knot October 18, if possible.

BROCK – “When Annie ran away a man paid her fare home… she BOB ROBINSON always reAssociate Editor gretted not bluebagmedia.com asking his name,” said Laura Francis, Miss Annie Oakley 2011 and Annie Oakley Committee Member. Francis spoke to about three dozen people who made the Pilgrimage to Brock Cemetery July 24 to pay tribute to the famous Darke County native and Wild West performer. Annie is buried alongside her husband, Frank Butler. She had been asked to say a few words at the annual Pilgrimage where Hayley Maher, Miss Annie Oakley 2014, had just paid tribute to Annie by placing a wreath at her grave. “My grandpa, John Baumgardner, made the gun they (Miss Annie Oakleys) carry with them throughout the year. His wish was, someday, a granddaughter would carry it. He got that wish in 2011.” Francis talked – sometimes emotionally –about her history and experiences. Later, Hannah Linebaugh, 2006 Miss Annie Oakley and Committee Member, recalled her own experience. Noting Francis’ emotion, she said when she won… “I went running to my mom with tears streaming down my face… this means so much to me.” An integral part of the Pilgrimage is the essay contest open to young girls throughout Darke County. This year’s winners were Daisy Brim, 13, Mississinawa Valley; Johnna Siegrist, 11, TriVillage; and Layla Carrington, 13, Greenville

Junior High School. The theme of the contest is what Annie Oakley means to them… Brim said she realized Annie’s motto, which says, in part, ‘Aim at a high mark and you will hit it,’ was not just about shooting. It was about how you live your life. “If I keep trying,” she said, “I can overcome any challenge.” Linebaugh is in charge of the Pilgrimage each year. “It almost didn’t happen one year,” she said. “I went rushing to Plessinger Florist… the next day I picked up a beautiful wreath. Every year since then it seems he has added a ﬂower, making it just a little more beautiful.” Linebaugh also noted Darke County Guns & Ammo contributed the prize money awarded to the three young women for their winning essays. Linebaugh said it becomes an emotional experience as those winning the shooting contest begin to understand what it means to represent Annie Oakley for a year. “That’s why I do this,” she said, “so other girls can have the opportunity.” Following the 30minute ceremony, people began entering their vehicles and leaving… all except one. Linebaugh stayed behind to pay her respects.

This is what Nichole Oyler saw when her boyfriend, Brent Fourman, took her up in an airplane.

One of the contests offered to visitors over the weekend was the pole toss challenge. A semi-pro football team stopped in on Sunday to test their strength. (Bob Robinson photo)

Y O R K WOODS – “You should have seen our attendance last BOB night,” Judy ROBINSON Associate Editor Logan, Anbluebagmedia.com nie Oakley Committee member, said. “Great turnout!” Saturday morning saw cars parked both inside the gate and outside for walk-in visitors… Some were watching the National Whip Speed & Accuracy competition; others were listening to Spittin Image. Still others were checking out vendor offerings… Bill Gunkle, Annie Oakley Committee president, conﬁrmed it. “I don’t have exact numbers yet, but we had a much better turnout than we did last year.” Gunkle said he thought some of that might have to do with their new location in York Woods. A few visitors signed up for one of the events, the Pole Toss. Robert Wiest managed an eight-

Jake Brown stumbled, but still won the day with six seconds. The 2014 Annie Oakley Festival kicked off July 25 and ran until 5 p.m. July 27. Drawing good crowds was the annual Melodrama presented by the Darke County Civic Theater: “Haunted Hijinks… The Ghastly Ghost of Dead Man’s Gulch.” Visitors also had an opportunity to take a free bus tour of Historic Places in Darke County, including Memorial Hall, the Darke County Courthouse, important locations in Annie Oakley’s life and a trip to Annie’s grave in Brock Cemetery before returning to York Woods. A variety of entertainment options were offered to visitors, including one not on the ofﬁcial list of activities: a 50-50 shooting contest. The contest Saturday boasted 11 contestants. It was won by Madison Brown. The whip handlers attracted a large crowd for a

Annie Oakley Festival attendance up at York Woods foot toss, beating a predecessor by two feet. “It was kind of awkward,” he said. “I got it up. Then… now what am I going to do with it?” Many were watching; not many wanted to pick up (and toss) a pole nearly twice as long as they were tall. Frank Hart was challenged to see if he could beat Wiest. He “took the challenge” and managed a 12-foot toss. It was likely the winning toss of the day. According to Logan members of a semi-pro football team showed up Sunday to take the Pole Toss challenge. Another contest, according to Annie Oakley Committee member Hannah Linebaugh, was what they called “Super Farmer.” It was a speed event… run to a bale of hay, grab it, carry it around the markers and back. Fastest time wins. Linebaugh did it in 10 seconds, only to be beaten by Wiest in seven. Another entrant,

series of three contests… chop the Styrofoam cups off the posts; then a righthand left-hand version of chopping the cups and finally an Indiana Jones version. “We have some of the best whip handlers in the world here,” said the announcer. “When you hear the snap of the whip, you’re hearing a tiny sonic boom. The whip snaps at 768 mph.” Different degrees of accuracy by skilled whip handlers pointed out the difficulty of the competitions. Hayley Maher, Miss Annie Oakley 2014, was on hand to greet guests and answer questions. She typically stayed close to her official greeting area, but at one point had wandered over to the whip competition. The 14-yearold sharp shooter seemed to be watching the contest closely. “Going to do that next?” “Nope,” she said, grinning.

Wheat field and airplane equals marriage proposal ARCANUM – The question – Nichole Marry Me? The answer RYAN BERRY from Nichol Managing Editor Oyler was bluebagmedia.com a resounding yes. “If she didn’t say yes I threatened to throw her out of the airplane,” joked Brent Fourman. The couple has been together for over two years and Brent felt it was time to take their relationship to the next level. He worked with a couple of his buddies to prepare his unique marriage proposal – an airplane ride to discover the words inscribed in a wheat field. It took his friend eight hours to mow the diamond ring and proposal. A few weeks prior, Brent’s friend had flown past his house while he and Nichole were working in the yard. She commented that she had never been in a plane and thought it would be exciting to take a ride. Brent assured her he

Brent and Nichole are planning to wed in October 2015.

would make it happen. Nichole had no idea what Brent was planning when he arranged the airplane ride. She thought they were going to ﬂy around Darke County and see the sights. “He is horrible at keeping secrets,” she said. When asked if she needed someone to point out the proposal in the ﬁeld or if she discovered it on her own Nichole replied it was so big you couldn’t miss it. Brent said, “It turned out really good.” Nichole agreed and admitted she “cried a little bit.” Brent, an Arcanum graduate, and Nichole, a Tri-Village graduate, are planning to marry in October 2015.

Jean Young, president of Partnering for Progress, accepts Second National Bank’s support from John Swallow and Dennis Baker.

SNB is a mainstay of development 1,563 jobs since 2010 (mostly in the well-paying manufacturing sector) and contributed heavily to such recent major business expansions at Whirlpool, Midmark, FRAM, and PolyOne. “But we’re only as strong as those who stand behind the initiative. The entities that are willing to contribute the resources required for our success and who lend their expertise at critical times are our real strength,” stated Saluk. “This is exactly what Second National Bank has always done for us and why they are a major part of the county’s recent growth spurt.” Saluk stated that, in addition to the jobs created, P4P-assisted company projects have also led to $44M in additional annual payroll in the Darke County community as well as a total investment of approximately $117 million dollars through business expansions. P4P also works to lay the infrastructure for future growth through its workforce development initiative, land and building development, and regional partnerships.

DARKE COUNTY - The Partnering for Progress (P4P) Initiative has once again been able to count on one of its top supporters in 2014 as Second National Bank has contributed again to Darke County’s public-private economic development effort. The collaborative and county-wide initiative has had the bank as one of its top supporters and architects of the initiative since P4P’s inception in 2008. To date, no other bank has contributed as much to the P4P initiative as Second National has overall, or in any given year. This support has gone beyond the ﬁnancial as Second National has also held key positions on many P4P boards and advisory committees, as well as been a consistent participant in P4P campaigns and events. “The Partnering for Progress Initiative is an effort that supports the entire Darke County community and beyond. The jobs created through its business partnerships and the training provided through its workforce efforts have the potential to impact every household in the community,” stated Second National President & CEO John Swallow. “This is the kind of widespread impact we hope our bank has as well and is the type of effort we plan to continue to anchor.” According to Darke County Economic Development Director Marc Saluk, the P4P initiative has worked with local businesses to help create or retain

Sarah’s Run raises money for Sarah Whittaker Scholarship GREENVILLE – The seventh annual Sarah’s Poker Run in Greenville on June 13 and 14 raised nearly $7,000 for the Sarah Whittaker Memorial Scholarship Fund, administered by the Darke County Foundation (formerly named the HOPE Foundation). The event kicked off on Friday with a dinner and dance featuring the local band Classiﬁed at Paws Bingo Hall.

On Saturday, over 200 motorcyclists participated in a Poker Run, followed by dinner, an auction, and door prizes. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the fourth annual scholarship in memory of Sarah, daughter of Allen and Karen Whittaker of the Greenville area. Sarah died in 2008 at the age of 17. The winner of the scholarship was Thomas Shaw,

2014 graduate of Greenville High School. The award is worth approximately $2,500. Shaw’s leadership in FFA and 4-H contributed to his winning the award. Sarah was a member of the Darke County 4-H Beef Club, and the Whittakers are strong advocates of 4-H and FFA, and the values they instill in young people. Shaw is a state FFA ofﬁcer, state degree recipient, 10-year

From left: Christy Prakel (president of the Darke County Foundation) Allen Whittaker (Sarah’s father), Thomas Shaw, Darlene Grubb (Thomas’ mother) and Greg Grubb (Thomas’ stepfather).

4-H member, Jr. Fairboard President, 2013 Outstanding 4-H Boy in Darke County, and national 4-H

conference attendee. Shaw also is a farm broadcaster on WTGR radio. Shaw plans to attend Wilmington

College and major in Agriculture Education and Agriculture Communication. Local businesses and individuals donated a vast array of prizes for the event, and riders made additional donations by purchasing commemorative t-shirts. In seven years, over $55,000 has been raised for Sarah’s Scholarship Fund, which will award a scholarship each year to a Darke County graduate

involved in 4-H or FFA. Allen and Karen Whittaker organize Sarah’s Run every year, and Allen works throughout the year to spread awareness about teen suicide, which claimed the life of his daughter. Allen said Sarah was a loving and joyful girl who made an impulsive, devastating decision with permanent and painful consequences. Allen’s message to teens is

there are no problems that cannot be worked out with people who care about you. The Darke County Foundation receives, manages and distributes charitable gifts for the beneﬁt of Darke County residents and non-proﬁt organizations.

Connect to College a success

Shown is the 2014 Wellness Committee at Neff Motivation, Inc.

Local company holds health fair GREENVILLE – Neff Motivation, Inc. held its 11th annual Health Fair at Paw’s Bingo in Greenville. This year’s theme was: Don’t “Fur”get About Your Health and Neff had the highest attendance so far as 76% of the company’s employees participated. The company holds this event during the normal work hours so the employees can take advantage of information, tests, and massages to improve their health and well-being. Also, the company took donations for the Humane Society The Wellness Committee and Wayne HealthCare work together to provide blood work panel, 12 lead EKG, mammography, stroke detection, and other health related screenings. The committee solicits various other vendors and health care

services within the community. The local vendors and other providers have been more than willing to give their time and energy to help make the Health Fair a great success; many gave door prizes and/or passed out freebies. This year they had 44 vendors who attended or were represented at the fair and if it were not for the generosity of all those involved, they could not have such a successful event. They truly are thankful for all the support. Neff’s “2014 Wellness Committee” consists of eleven members: Jessica Dirksen, Zach Diver, Alex Krueger, Michael Less, Josh McGhee, Beverly Martin, Debbie Sanders, Scott Snell, Nicki Sommer, Susan Williams, and Cheryl Wombolt.

GREENVILLE – Edison Community College and partnering Greenville, Piqua, and Sidney High Schools close the books on the ﬁrst year of a two-year partnership for the college bound grant, Connect to College. TG Philanthropy’s awareness program, Adventures in Education (AIE–www. aie.org), awarded Edison and the partnering high schools a grant in excess of $200,000 to help area students plan and complete their journey through higher education. During the 20132014 academic school year, over 750 students participated in different educational activities, which prepared them for the college selection journey. These opportunities included, Greenville’s College Club, Piqua’s College 101 Course, Sidney’s Mini-College 101 and Sessions to the upper level college prepara-

tory classes. Many students also took advantage of having an onsite College Bound advisor to help with questions or concerns regarding the college selection process, how to apply to college, or even how to ﬁnd scholarships to pay for the cost of attending college. Students also had the opportunity to complete the ACT COMPASS testing which allowed them to gauge their college readiness with college level course work; this testing was provided at no cost to students working with the College Bound Advisor. Even parents had an opportunity to get involved by attending Parent College 101 presentations offered at each of the high schools. Edison’s Tracey Wheeler who serves as Greenville High School’s College Bound Advisor had the fol-

Manges in honors program

GREENVILLE – Nicole Manges, of Greenville, has been accepted Huntington University’s honors program. This is the ﬁrst year for the program. Manges, from the Class of 2018, will be studying English Literature this fall. The honors program is designed to push high-achieving students further in their academic career by studying exceptional authors and ideas throughout history.

lowing to say about the program’s success. “The Connect to College program at Greenville High School has been a great success with initial implementation for the sophomore class and their parents. Students had the opportunity to join the College Club to help them gain more knowledge on the college selection process, which will continue to be available to them until they graduate in 2016.” “In addition, many juniors and seniors took advantage of the program and learned about college visits, admission requirements, paying for college, and ﬁnding the perfect ﬁt for them after high school,” added Wheeler. “It was great to see the students’ enthusiasm for opportunities that are available to them! In addition, it was wonderful to work with the staff at Greenville High School as they embraced the program as another resource to help their students succeed.” “This opportunity has really taken off and I look forward to it continuing to grow in the next academic year,” said Edison’s Rob Cowles who serves as

the Piqua & Sidney High School’s College Bound Advisor. “Students were a bit cautious at ﬁrst, but once word got out about the program more and more students would just pop their head in for a quick question.” “It has been a lot of fun seeing the shift in thinking of students with regards to their own future and going to college,” added Cowles. “I am looking forward to working with students that I met last year, getting to know more students, and hearing how the graduates are doing with their ﬁrst semester in college.” While high schools are on break for the summer, the College Bound Advisors are still available to assist students who are looking to get a jump-start on their college education selection. All grade levels are invited to take advantage of the Connect to College program.
