Libraries takes Food for Fines for Feed Ohio DARKE COUNTY – Arcanum, Bradford, Greenville, New Madison, and Worch Memorial Public Libraries will participate in the FEED OHIO 2014 CAMPAIGN to help feed Ohio’s hungry. Beginning Aug. 23 each library will offer a Food for Fines program that will allow patrons to pay their overdue fines with a qualifying food donation. Each library will have a list of eligible items to donate. For every qualified food donation $1 will be deducted from your overdue fine account. The libraries will also act as a Feed Ohio Drop Zone for anyone else who would like to donate to this worthy cause. Feed Ohio is a 100% volunteer effort timed in conjunction

with the National Day of Service on Sept. 11. Now in its second year, Feed Ohio is a statewide volunteer humanitarian effort to provide food assistance to individuals and families in the state of Ohio that need our help. Your donation serves your community. When you donate to Feed Ohio, your items go directly to your local food bank, lending a hand to the members of your community that need it most. The Feed Ohio food drive campaign will run through Sept. 13. Members of the local Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have volunteered to collect and distribute the donations to local food banks in the area.

Red Cross and EMA Preparedness Walk unveils Veterans Memorial partners needed GREENVILLE – Darke County Emergency Agencies, American Red Cross, Emergency Responders and volunteers are going door to door to over 3000 homes with packets of preparedness during National Preparedness Month in September.

Walkers, runners, local company employees, 4-H groups, scouts, churches, families, organizations, businesses, schools, and service organizations are invited to participate on Sept. 8, 5:30-8:30 p.m. Some groups even wear their uniforms or company logo shirts on the walk. All volunteers will be badged and receive a safety orientation before beginning. Volunteers will go out in teams to assigned neighborhoods and all materials needed. To help in this project, simply call the American Red Cross Darke County Chapter, 5481002, or email Lynne. Gump@Redcross.org.

GREENVILLE – “This memorial is dedicated to every man BOB ROBINSON and woman Associate Editor who ever bluebagmedia.com served honorably in a branch of the United States military.” No distinction is made whether the service was one day or career, combat or non-combat. The Wayne Hospital Foundation funded the Veterans Memorial but also thanked David Furlong, president of Fitzwater Tree and Lawn Care for his company’s generous donation of the water rock, memorial plaque and labor to make the Memorial possible. The foundation especially thanked those who served. The Wayne Hospital Veterans Memorial

was dedicated Aug. 15. It is located in front of the main entrance to the hospital. Pavers are engraved with service personnel’s service information, with the focal point the water rock and flag pole. A marker noting the branches of service sits at its base. The flag pole flies the American and POW/ MIA flags, donated by American Legion Post 140, as well as the Ohio flag, presented by State Representative Jim Buchy. The Memorial ceremony was attended by members of the District 2 Disabled American Veterans, commanded by Robert A. Foster, DAV members Floyd Foreman and Dale Marker, Veterans of Foreign Wars member Clark Lease and American Legion member Carl Wet-

zel. Also attending were a number of hospital employees and relatives of those who served. Brief remarks were provided by Wayne Deschambeau, President/ CEO of Wayne HealthCare, Aaron Cox, Cochair of the Wayne Hospital Foundation, Furlong, Ohio Senator Keith

Faber, Buchy, Greenville Mayor Mike Bowers, Darke County Commissioners Mike Stegall and Diane Delaplane, and Darke County Chamber of Commerce Director Sharon Deschambeau. Greenville High School senior Brook Netzley sang the National Anthem.

FM grad provides aid to teachers, kids in Liberia GREENV I L L E – Jordan P r i d e more, 2008 graduate BOB ROBINSON of FrankAssociate Editor lin Monbluebagmedia.com roe High School, has a passion for travel. She started with trips out of state while in high school but quickly graduated to trips abroad, mostly to Europe. But she’d never been to Africa until this summer… She and her friend, Keith Rodgers, took a humanitarian mission trip to Liberia, Africa. They were there during the Ebola outbreak, arriving back in the U.S. on July 27. “We got home the day before the country was quarantined,” she said. Was she worried?

“No. To get Ebola you have to exchange bodily fluids… more people die of malaria each year than have died from that.” She added there was no outbreak in the part of Liberia they were in. Pridemore said they were part of a group of 20 teachers, “Hope 2 Liberia,” sent there by Harvest Christian Fellowship. Their job was two-fold: train teachers and provide filters for clean drinking water. They trained 120 teachers and showed people how to use 100 filters, each with the ability to provide clean water for thousands of people. “It was frustrating in that the problems there are so enormous,” Pridemore said. “They’ve been doing this (Hope 2 Liberia) since 2009, although

it was the ﬁrst time they sent teachers.” They weren’t really sure what to do, so they just started… adapting as necessary to get the job done. Three out of ﬁve kids in

Liberia die because of bad drinking water. Training teachers included training adults who have never known anything but war and day-to-day survival. Li-

beria, Pridemore said, stands for Liberty. “We (the U.S.) started it as a colony (in 1821). In 1990 a brutal civil war started… now the country is broken and the government is corrupt.” She told of a teacher with no legs. “They told him to ﬁght in the war. He said no. They cut off a leg. They told him again to ﬁght. He said no. They cut off his other leg.” She added the kids there are starved for love and attention. They had no idea even how to play because their parents didn’t know how. “Kids don’t get held. They don’t know what play is because their parents don’t understand (the concept). When we arrived, kids lined up to be held and swung by the arms… they wore Keith

and me out.” Rodgers said he’d never traveled before; this was a new experience for him. He added liked he was learning different cultures. Pridemore is a 2012 graduate of Ball State University with degrees in Neural Linguistics and English Education, and a certiﬁcate in English as a Second Language. So far she has visited eight countries and teaches high school full time in Indiana. However, she manages to make the annual trek home for the Great Darke County Fair. “I’m glad to be home,” she said, although her traveling days are likely far from over. “Whenever I land in a new country I throw up, I’m so excited!” she added, grinning.

it on her. He displayed a folding knife with a serrated blade approximately 4-5 inches long. Crowe stalled long enough to activate the panic alarm, opened the register and the suspect grabbed approximately $260 cash and ﬂed on foot toward the Dairy Queen area. DCSO deputies arrived, also a K9 unit, and aided in the search but were unable to locate the suspect. Nothing further at the time of the report. DOMESTIC On Aug. 14 police were dispatched to Children’s Services regarding a possible child abuse incident. The child’s grandmother was taking him to the agency because he had two burn marks on his left arm, one on his right arm and a burn mark on his right leg. They were allegedly caused by a lighter used by suspect Kirt Kiser. Kiser allegedly laughed when the burn marks made the child cry. The child told Kiser he was going to call the cops but Kiser said he didn’t care. Pictures of the injuries were taken. Police went to the mother’s house and got a written statement conﬁrming the statements about the incident, noting she also

saw the burn marks. Officers were unable to locate Kiser. Police will seek Felony Domestic Violence and Child Abuse charges against Kiser with the Darke County Prosecutor. Kiser has a prior conviction for Domestic Violence; the mother said she will be moving out and will seek a protection order against Kiser. On Aug. 17 police were dispatched regarding a domestic incident involving the suspect, Nick Flora. The victim and Flora had gotten into an argument; she drove him home. The next day he texted her to pick him up so he could get his car. She did, and during the drive they began arguing again, at which time he allegedly grabbed her throat and began choking her. She said he did this several times. Police made contact with Flora at his residence. He admitted being in the vehicle and arguing but denied domestic violence. Following a brief interview he was arrested and transported to Darke County jail. DRUGS/FIREARM On Aug. 14 police were dispatched to the back of the building at 395 Martin St. regarding possible drugs use. Three males were there: Gabriel Baldwin, Austin Hosbrook and Harley Campbell. The officer asked for identification. Baldwin’s eyes looked bloodshot and he spoke slowly. He reached into his book bag, at which time the officer saw a translucent pill bottle that had a leafy green substance inside of it. When asked what was in the bottle, Baldwin got nervous, stating it was probably an empty pill bottle. The officer removed the pill bottle and opened it; the substance had the smell of marijuana. The officer searched the bag and found another bottle with green seeds, plus a clear plastic bag, both

containing what appeared to be and had the odor of marijuana. The officer also discovered an unloaded .38 caliber revolver. Baldwin had been convicted of felony Breaking & Entering in 2012. He was placed under arrest for having a Weapon under Disability, and cited for Possession of Marijuana and Drug Paraphernalia. He was transported to Darke County jail. On Aug. 14 police conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle driven by Shannon Forsythe. Her passenger was Kendra Forsythe. The vehicle was stopped for a Left of Center violation; Shannon said she thought it might be a steering problem. Shannon admitted to having a pending drug case for trafficking heroin and appeared nervous, but gave permission for her vehicle to be searched. A Darke County Sheriff’s Deputy arrived and stayed with Kendra. While the officer was searching the deputy informed him Kendra had said she had “approximately 10 capsules of heroin concealed in her underwear.” The officer asked if this was true; she said yes. Kendra advised she could remove it and, removed a cigarette pack with 19 capsules with a tan substance appearing to be in the form of a rock inside the capsules. Kendra stated it was heroin. She also advised she had a “rig” (or syringe) in her bra and was able to remove it as well. Kendra was handcuffed and placed in the cruiser; Greenville Township Rescue was called because track marks on her arms appeared to be infected and were bleeding. She refused transportation from Rescue and advised she needs help; she uses approximately 6-8 capsules of heroin a day. She was charged with Possession of Heroin and Possession of

a Drug Abuse Instrument and transported to Darke County jail. ASSAULT On Aug. 2 police were dispatched to Colonial Trailer Park at 5438 SR 49 So. Lot 21 regarding a complaint by Scott Fansler. He stated he was at a resident’s house when he drove by Lot 21, John Debord’s house. Debord got into his truck and tried several times to run him over. Fansler said “he was scared and thought that Debord was going to kill him when he was only a couple of feet from his back fender.” When police talked to Debord, he said “He’s lucky I didn’t run his a__ over!” plus other statements that included profanity. He said Fansler had been harassing him. A witness confirmed he saw both vehicles leaving the trailer park like a “…bat out of h___.” Fansler and the witnesses wrote statements, Debord declined. The case will be submitted to the Darke County Prosecutor’s Office for the Grand Jury. On Aug. 10 police were dispatched to Wayne Hospital Emergency regarding a victim, Rocky Yoder, with a stab wound to the neck area. Yoder said a possible suspect had gone to a friend’s house while he was there, telling him to come out and fight. The friend was reportedly dating the suspect’s ex-girlfriend. Yoder said he went outside to talk with the suspect and they argued. He thought the suspect had punched him in the neck. He acknowledged he’d been drinking alcoholic beverages and hadn’t realized at the time the suspect had been holding a small knife and he’d been stabbed. When he awoke the next morning the injury was painful and he had trouble swallowing. Attempts were made to contact two possible witnesses. The case is under investigation.

Tom Bartel will have his wood sculptures on display at Bearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill.

Watercolors and wood sculptures on display at Mill GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Wood sculptures by Richmond, Ind. resident Tom Bartel will be displayed alongside the watercolors of Peter Frederick at historic Bearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill during the month of September. The monthly â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art at the Millâ&#x20AC;? series features the work of an artist who creates three-dimensional pieces alongside complementary two dimensional ďŹ ne art. The Bartel/Frederick exhibit opens Aug. 29 with a reception featuring hors dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oeuvres and drinks from 6-9 p.m.; the artists will speak brieďŹ&#x201A;y about their work, methods, and inspiration at 7 p.m. This exhibit continues through Sunday, September 21. According to Julie Clark, retail manager and gallery coordinator for Bearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill, the nostalgic quality of Peter Frederickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paintings enhances and illuminates the abstract realism of Bartelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sculptures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These artists bring an almost spiritual quality to their work that permeates the aura of our unique exhibit space; this exhibit will provide a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of busy lives, a mini-vacation that elates the spirit and inspires the soul,â&#x20AC;? Ms. Clark stated. Tom Bartel retired from teaching art at Richmond High School in 2013, and enjoys now being able to spend the majority of his time in the studio. His highly ďŹ nished sculptures, created from various woods, take on forms indicative of nature and humans. Bartel says that the central inspirations for his art work are his family and the magniďŹ cent trees

that provide the material he sculpts into various shapes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trees represent the splendor and wonder of the world and remain a source of revelation,â&#x20AC;? explained the sculptor. However, he does not usually offer his own impressions of his work, preferring to allow viewers to form their own opinions and interpretations. A self-taught painter, Peter Frederick ďŹ nds inspiration in the changing light and shadow produced by the interaction of the sun and weather conditions throughout each day and each season. He is drawn to subjects with bold contrasting color values, especially those evoking fond memories of a bucolic past. The landscapes of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Kentucky provide the subjects for his realistic work which often moves viewers to linger while contemplating the seemingly familiar scenes. Laurel Dabbsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ďŹ nely hand-crafted duck decoys, songbirds and shorebirds, and photographs by Paula Willmot Kraus remain on display at Bearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill through Aug. 24. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art At the Millâ&#x20AC;? receives ďŹ nancial support from Darke County Endowment for the Arts. Art exhibits are on view during regular Mill store hours, 11 a.m. till 5 p.m. daily. Historic Bearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill is owned and operated by Friends of Bearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill, a non-proďŹ t organization, and is located at 6450 Arcanum-Bearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill Road about 5 miles east of Greenville.

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Area Dog Club fall session of obedience, agility and conformation classes begins the week of Sept. 7. Through the years more classes have been added to meet the growing interest in dog training. Many people like the variety of classes available. The Greenville Area Dog Club will be offering classes at the former U.S. Chemical building in the 5400 block of State Route 49. Obedience classes begin Sept. 9. Classes offered include puppy (12 weeks to ﬁve months), beginner, refresher/advanced, obedience and conformation. “Our puppy and beginning obedience classes are designed to teach basic house manners, grooming and care of the dog, heeling, sit, down, stay, come and other commands,” said Barb Rhoades, director of obedience training. She also added that a class will be offered to those who have completed beginner or have some past training in classes and want to continue with training. The Refresher/Advanced class is designed to review what they learned in beginner class and correct any training mistakes or difﬁculties that have arisen as well as teach some additional training tricks of the trade. The class will continue from where the beginner class left off and make for a better working behaved dog. Some off lead work is introduced, as well as more advanced training methods. Dogs and clients who have taken the class have really enjoyed the experience. The classes are designed to be building blocks in obedience. However, if you missed the puppy class when your dog was a baby, you can still get

ON YOUR MIND

Commissioners Corner July has been a “happening” month here in Darke County, and in neighboring counties. This month has seen the “4th of July Fireworks” displays in a lot of local communities, the “Country Concert” in Shelby County, a very successful “First Friday” in Greenville, and a successful “Food Truck” gathering, also in Greenville. The “Kings Royal” and the “NASCAR Camping World Truck Series” races at Eldora were this month, plus “The Annie Oakley Festival”, and the “Gathering at Garst”! I am sure that a lot of you are looking forward to just chilling out at home, or a pool, or a campsite for a while. I know I am! Better rest up, because August brings the “Great Darke County Fair”! Along with all the events for people to enjoy, the Darke County Commissioners have been slowly/busy, if that makes sense. The office staff and commissioners have been busy preparing and working on various projects and now waiting for responses and/ or approvals of these efforts. We are in good shape when all of this comes back, as we know it will all be at once. Some things have been done, though, like the Wagner Avenue Plaza, and the Sheriff’s office. The Wagner Avenue Plaza has now had the back of the building resurfaced, and the rest of the lot crack sealed. We have been told that approximately the first week in August, the front and sides of the complex will receive its asphalt covering. Walls Brothers will be doing the work, and as soon as we know their schedule, we will post it on our website, “mydarkecountyohio.com” and on our Facebook page, “Darke County Ohio.” The Sheriff’s office is finally having their plumbing problems fixed. Enviro-Flow out of Zanesville, Ohio is relining the sewer lines with a resin that should solve the problems for a long time. This much needed work is going as planned, and they should complete the work by the middle of August. Both of these projects are very expensive, but they have needed to be done for a long time. One thing we do know, is that we have the money to fix them now, and in the future, these projects would not get any less expensive, so now is the time. The ODOT relocation program is mov-

ing along quickly now. ODOT will build a new facility in the County’s new Industrial Park along St. Rte.’s 127 and 49. This upgrade for them is much needed, and should allow them to better service the Darke County State Highway system. We have other things working with ODOT, and as soon as we can, we will let you know. One of our honored employees, Sam Custer our OSU extension Agriculture Educator, has been chosen by the University to lead the new signature program “Nutrient Stewardship for Cleaner Water.” Sam also has informed us that the 2015 “Manure Science Review” will be held in Darke County. People from all over the Country will be in Darke County for this event. Congratulations to Sam on his appointment, and this event! The Economic Development office has continued to be busy with some new projects, some expansion projects, and of course, Workforce Development. As we have stated in the past, workforce development will be a driving force for years to come. Our development efforts are bearing fruit, and the State, and other counties are taking notice. The last P4P meeting was held at Stillwater Golf Course, and for a mid-summer meeting, was well attended. People from the Dayton Development Region, along with people from Indiana, were there to hear our progress in workforce development. We have been told that no one is as far along as we are in this area, and that is a big “Thank You” to Marc, Lisa, and Melanie, and cooperation with other county’s E.D. directors here in southwest Ohio. This effort will continue to get bigger and better with committed individuals like them running the show. “Thank You” once again from all of us. Next month is Fair time, but that does not mean things will completely stop in the county. We will continue with our weekly meetings here in the Commissioner’s office. You are always welcome to sit in on a session. We meet every Monday and Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. in our office at 520 South Broadway, just south of the Courthouse in Downtown Greenville. Stop by and say hello and learn what is happening in the County! The Darke County Commissioners

My ﬁrst selﬁe Grumpy Side of 60 by Bob Robinson Associate Editor bluebagmedia.com

“She’s 9.” Oh, she’s got to be older than nine… looks like she’s 16 or 17. Hands on hips! Half smile! “I am NOT!” she said. “I’m 9!!” Then she grins… “But my birthday’s tomorrow.” Then you’ll be 13, right? She stamps her foot! “No!! I’ll be 10!” Can you prove it? Let me see your driver’s license. “I don’t have a driver’s license! I’m 9!!!” Out of the goodness of my heart I let her pass through the gate toward the goodies and rides on the Midway of the Great Darke County Fair. My baby sis once accused me of being a tease. Guess I am. Boy or girl, ﬁve through 10… they all react a little differently. Most seem to have fun. After asking for one 11year-old boy’s driver’s

license, he grinned (obviously in anticipation) and dad says, “Uh uh, no way… not yet!” Another boy was downright grumpy about it. “No. I’m 10!” He wasn’t smiling. Eleven gets in free when accompanied by an adult. Some of our young people look like they’ve been 11 for several years. The child says nothing. Mom or dad says he’s/she’s 11. “Yup. Me too,” I think to myself… or did I say it aloud once? Can’t remember. That was Saturday. On Sunday Commissioner Mike Stegall was on fair gate with me (do I hear ‘congratulations’ or ‘condolences’?). He picked up on it and added his own take. He asked if they were married and checked out the ring ﬁnger. One young lady, terribly insulted, was vehement! “I don’t like boys,” she said. I saw a lot of my kids this week. I loved it. One of them was just back from Africa. Another was getting

married this fall. Another announced her engagement. Four signed up for my public speaking classes… two of them because mom or dad told them to. Several yelled “Mr. Robinson” and hugged my kneecaps as they rushed on to their next ride (or snack). Ready for school to start? “NO-O-O-O!!!” On Monday night something interesting happened. A little girl (she was four) ran up to me and hit me on the kneecap. Not once or twice; multiple times. Dad started to say something but I shook my head and bent down. “Hey, sweety! Why are you hitting me? Have I made you mad?” She grinned and hit me again. That, of course, reminded me of the State Line Heritage Days Grand Parade. I’d walked up to three boys holding empty grocery bags. “Waiting for the candy?” The two older ones nodded their heads. The little one swung his grocery bag and hit me on the kneecap. “Hey… whoa… what’s up, buddy?” He didn’t say

a word. Whap! “Did I make you mad?” Whap whap! I looked at the brothers. One wasn’t paying attention; the other just shrugged his shoulders. Whap whap whap!!! Then, for good measure… whap! Good thing the bag was empty. A little later I heard, “Hey Mr. Robinson. Mr. Robinson!” It was a child’s voice; I didn’t think that was possible… I don’t sub in this district, and I’m not up this way very often. It was a student from South School visiting her cousin. She gave me a hug, introduced me to mom, then went back to sharing an ice cream with her cousin. Have you ever taken a selﬁe? Do you even know what one is? I didn’t for the longest time, and I never, ever thought I’d take one. I still haven’t, but one was taken for me this week. I was talking to one of my newest ‘kids’ at the fair when suddenly she says, “Give me that camera.” I gave it to her and she took one of us. This grumpy old man was honored.

Continuing efforts at Grand Lake Grand Lake St. Marys is an important ﬁxture in west cenJIM BUCHY OHIO tral Ohio, REPRESENTATIVE drawing people from all over the state during summer months. The lake also offers an economic boost to the surrounding communities, local businesses, and the rest of the Auglaize and Mercer Counties. The vital economic boost it provides to the region is important to consider as the lake undergoes continued restoration work. The lake season started off positive, but as with years before, it is experiencing algae blooms. It is important that work continue on resolving this issue, ﬁrst and foremost, so that visitors to Grand Lake St. Marys will

have a positive experience and stay longer to spend more money, supporting our economy. Restoring the health of the lake is a major issue, and one that will take time. Sediment build-up within the lake is a situation that has developed over hundreds of years, but little by little it is improving. Just as it took many years for the sediment to reach current levels, it will take many years to clean out the sediment from the lake. There is one operational treatment train on Prairie Creek that naturally cleans incoming water to the lake. As a result of its success, more treatment trains are being constructed at Grand Lake St. Marys in the

coming months and years. During restoration, the state has been committed to funding projects to improve the health of the lake, and the future continues to look bright as the Lake Facilities Authority comes together to help resolve issues pertaining to water quality in the agricultural community and in the lake. Additionally, local elected ofﬁcials and the state of Ohio are making substantial efforts to preserve the quality of the lake. Local farmers are also helping the process through voluntarily improving their practices. The collaboration of these various entities has shown there is a lot of positive direction for improving Grand Lake

St. Marys. While many positive and pro-active steps have been taken in addressing the continued restoration of Grand Lake St. Marys, it is important that this work continue. Not only will the lake beneﬁt from these efforts, but so will the neighboring communities. The long-range plan to make the lake better has made much progress already, and the restoration yet to be completed will continue to make Grand Lake St. Marys a hotspot of family recreation and economic vitality for years to come.

Giving Circle helps State of the Heart GREENVILLE – The State of the Heart Hospice Women’s Giving Circle, a group of women who are ongoing financial supporters of the local nonprofit agency, recently met and granted two program needs for State of the Heart. The Women’s Giving Circle was established earlier this year with the goal of granting program needs that cannot be met otherwise. The Giving Circle granted $1,100 for grief support books to be given to those attending State of the Heart’s Growing Through Grief sessions, and granted $1,900 to purchase new software for publication design work for the agency. The software currently being used by State of the Heart is seven years old and is no longer completely compatible with various printing vendors and publication companies. Each year, State of the Heart conducts Growing Through Grief sessions at the agency’s offices in Greenville, Portland and Coldwater. In each case, participants in the past have been expected to purchase grief support books when they leave the class. The grant will provide 100 books that will be given free to those attending the group sessions. Bereavement support is an important service provided by State of the Heart. State of the Heart has a communications specialist who creates all of the brochures and educational materials needed by the agency for the public. The new software will bring the agency in line with current design software needs, enabling quicker turnaround time and better quality products. “This was the first meeting of the Women’s Giving Circle,” stated Ryan Gathard, Fund Development Director for State of the Heart. “It was gratifying to have several applications from our various departments submitted. The members of the Giving Circle carefully weighed the needs of each request and other possible funding options in making their decision,” he added. An incentive to becoming a member of the Women’s Giving Circle,

he explained, is that the members of the Giving Circle make the decisions about how they want the funds used in meeting program needs. The group will meet annually to decide on grant distribution. “We are seeking new members of for the Giving Circle,” Gathard said. “The Giving Circle offers a unique opportunity to make a contribution to our agency, then the members can say how they want those funds used to carry out the mission of State of the Heart.” For information about the Giving Circle contact him at 1-800713-7535 or email rgathard@stateoftheheartcare.org.

Animals were just beginning to populate the new Cattle Barn on Aug. 15, the opening day of the fair. They were noisy. One bystander said they were either lamenting having to leave the others at the farm… or they were bragging about the nice area they find themselves in. (Bob Robinson photo)

Exhibitors give Cattle Barn a ‘thumbs up’ BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE – “I really like it here,” said Ted Schmitmeyer as he was grooming one of his animals Aug. 17. “Much better. Cooler… more room…” And Schmitmeyer isn’t alone. His comments were echoed by everyone who was asked in the new Cattle Barn. “I like it. Better. Cooler. More room.” In the milking area, the Michaels said it was better than before. “Bigger, nicer. We have all new stalls. The setup is nice… more room.” Sisters Clair, 16, and Renea, 11, were cleaning up the area around their heifers. “There’s more room, and it’s deﬁnitely cooler in the barn.” Renea added “It doesn’t seem as loud, either.” The Versailles Schmitmeyer family has been showing at the Darke County Fair for “a long time. Dad showed here (old building),” said Clair. She has been in Darke County 4H Holstein

for seven years, but showed before that in Pee Wee class. Renea has been in 4H for three years but has also done Open Class and Pee Wee. Rachel Garrison helps her Uncle Jason (Brinksneader) every year. She also likes the new building, especially since they were able to prepare their animals in the Cattle Barn instead of the Cow Palace. “Open Show had to be in the Cow Palace before due to lack of space,” she said. “We now have a choice.” She added they, along with dairy, could still

use the Cow Palace if they wished. Garrison was prepping an Open Class heifer by using “pink oil” for ﬁnishing touches. “It makes them smell better, gives them a glossy coat,” she said. Several others took time from their efforts to note the improvements of the new Cattle Barn. Only one individual added a “slight” reservation… “I kind of liked it before when they (beef and dairy) were separate, but I’m not complaining,” he said. “It’s nicer and it’s cooler.”

BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE – “I always cry,” said Leah Allread, 2014 Franklin Monroe High School graduate. She and her brother, Kenton, were prepping their animals for this year’s show at the Darke County Fair. Showing pigs is tough knowing the animal you have worked with for months will have to be sold to market at the end of the show. Allread is no different. She acknowledges it’s always difﬁcult after working with her animals. “I do what I have to do,” she said. “It’s life.” At the same time she added working with her animals is a “habit”… “Enjoying the fair, being with my friends… I wouldn’t have it any other way.” Allread has

BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE – Ten-year-old Alli Whiting was busy putting wood shavings into the cages of her prizewinning White Crusted Polish roosters. “These Polish got a first last year,” she said, pointing to the second cage. She finished spreading out the shavings in the first cage, then grabbed a scoop-full to put in the cage of her prize winners. The birds above them were also hers, but she didn’t have much else to say about them except they were “mixtures.” Alli, a member of Arcanum’s 4H Silver Hoofs, was successful her first year and hoped to do well again this

(the study of missions, or missionaries), with a minor in English as a second language. Kenton didn’t have much to say. While he grinned a lot, he didn’t participate in the discussion. Their mother, Stephanie Allread, laughed and said, “He’s a man of few words.”

Green awarded at fair for lifetime of achievements BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE Larry Green was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Regional Shearers Group on Wednesday, Aug. 20 in the sheep barn at the Great Darke County Fair. Representative Richard Adams was on-hand to present Green with a certiﬁcate from the House of Representative of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio. Green is considered a legend in the shearing community, winning many awards at the state and local levels throughout his sheep shearing career.

BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE – She won $100 at age 103 for being the oldest person at the fair in 2013 and she took the title again this year at age 104. Elaine Fitzgerald said she has been coming to the fair for as long as she can remember. She even remembers coming when the fair closed at 6 p.m. so the farmers could go home and get their work done. The spry centenarian says her favorite part of the fair is the Coliseum. She enjoys viewing everything there is to see. While Fitzgerald won’t commit to coming back when she is 105 her daughter, Diana Anderson, thinks she’ll be back. The only other centenarian signing up for the contest was 100 year old Roy Weikert.

talked. She was grinning. “I send you over here to take care of your birds and ﬁnd you being interviewed,” she said. Alli shrugged and grinned. Then went back to work.

Units march to begin the annual Veterans Day Memorial Service at the Darke County Fair.

Attendance up at annual Veterans Day service BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE – “We lost more of our veterans by their own hand than we lost in Afghanistan,” said Dennis Dickey, 1st Vice President for the American Legion 3rd District. “Only those who have been through what many of these veterans have can understand that.” Dickey was the guest speaker for the 2014 Veterans Day Memorial Service at the Darke County Fair. Dickey is the brother of Douglas E. Dickey, who was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor in 1967 for heroism during Operation Beacon Hill 1 in Vietnam. A comment heard from a veteran attending the service: “He gave his life saving others. This Memorial Service is for him and those others who served honorably.”

During his presentation Dickey offered a quote by 2010 Chief of Central Command General James Mattis, who had a reputation for blunt speaking… “Be polite, be professional but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.” This was a survival tool for those in combat. As they have in years past, units from American Legion posts, American Legion Auxiliary units, VFW posts and more marched into the Grandstand track to open the Darke County Veterans Day Memorial Service. Outgoing County Commander (all posts in the county) Ken Preston, Sr., welcomed the audience, then introduced Past Darke County Commander John Grillot for introduction of the units. The invocation was given by Pastor Gerald “Scott” Trittschuh, followed by Mandy Rismiller singing the National

Anthem. Abe Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, gave the Gettysburg Address prior to Dickey’s comments. Darke County Fair Manager Daryl Riffel spoke brieﬂy to the crowd, noting it keeps getting larger each year. “Thank you for helping to honor those who serve us,” he said. One of the participants in the service, Van Gehron, Darke County Veterans Services Ofﬁce, agreed it looked like attendance was up this year. He also said he liked Abe Lincoln speaking this year. “I really enjoyed that,” he said. The service was closed with Taps by Angie Rauh, the Benediction and dismissing of the marching units. Earlier in the day, veterans were treated to a combination of pop, country and patriotic music by the United States Air Force Band of Flight.

Members in win pic are Linda Riley, Regent Mary Jane Dietrich, Debbie Nisonger, Cindy Austen, Shirley Hughes, Jean Gunn, Taylor and Christina Nehring, Helen Wright, Karen Burkett and Susan Brewer. Not pictured: Doris Aultman. The winning driver was Jeff Nisonger, son of chapter member Vice Regent Debbie Nisonger. The winning trainer was Kayne Kauffman, Darke County native.

Fair visitors come from all parts of the country BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE – “We’ve had people here from Florida, Alabama, New England and all parts of Ohio,” said Deanna York, director of the Darke County Visitors Bureau. This was Monday at their fair booth in the coliseum, with ﬁve more days to go. “People are amazed we would promote stand mixers at travel shows,” she added. “Then we tell them it’s a KitchenAid mixer and it’s only built here in Greenville, Ohio.” Visitors Bureau intern Baleigh Reed said there were two ladies who carpooled from Alabama and Florida to come to the Darke County Fair. “They do it every year,” she said. Reed was demonstrating a KitchenAid blender on Friday, the ﬁrst day of the fair. York was pleased at the

number of tourist-oriented groups and organizations sharing in the Visitors Bureau efforts this year. They include the Park District, Bears Mill, YOLO Festival of Races, Kennedy Vineyard, Tour de Donut… KitchenAid and more. Also expected are the Winery at Versailles, Arcanum Wayne Trail Historical Society and others. York said they check

the zip codes of those who sign up for information. “Darke County obviously has the most, but others, in order, are Mercer, Miami and Montgomery counties.” She added it wasn’t only the visitors from out of town who were unaware of all the attractions Darke County has to offer. There was one lady who has lived in Greenville all her life and didn’t know.

BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE – “We’re in 12 fairs,” said Sandy Bowman, who with her husband Gary founded Bowman’s Concessions 35 years earlier. “When we go back to them each year, it’s like going home.” Gary Bowman worked for WDRK radio. “He was out here every year for the station,” she said. “I took my vacation at fair time.” She added however she had nothing to do since he was working. “We decided to start a concession stand but hadn’t ﬁgured out what we wanted to sell…” She said there was a place in Arcanum that made their own “handmade” tenderloins. “They gave us the recipe. We decided to make our own… pounded them out ourselves.” Bowman’s has been in front of the coliseum of the Darke County Fair for its 35 years in business. They set up a second stand in another part

of the fairgrounds, but when Gary passed away (seven years ago), Sandy sold the stands. The other one was purchased by others, but the original stand was bought by their boys. It remains in the family. “We’ve been here for all 35 years,” she said, adding her sons, Wayne and Craig, have jobs allowing them to work the stand during the summer season. This will be Sandy’s last year. “My mind says

yes, I want to keep doing this,” she said, smiling. “My body says don’t do it anymore.” She plans to keep helping out when she can. “I’ll do what I can,” she said. Her biggest regret? “I’ll miss my customers.” Bowman’s Texas Tenderloins are popular items at the Darke County Fair, along with others across the state. She acknowledged their popularity, then added “We were – and are – the original!”

Blood donors have fun ‘Bummin’ at Darke Co. Fair GREENVILLE – “Got that one…. Got that one… ah, I like that one!” There may be prize livestock to judge and ice cold crushies to choose at the annual Great Darke County Fair, but for blood donors on Community Blood Center (CBC) “T-shirt Day” it’s a treasure hunt for the elusive t-shirt design you don’t yet own. CBC Darke Co. account representative Dana Puterbaugh and her citizen advisory board volunteers worked the “T-Shirt Day” booth under the hot afternoon sun Aug. 20. Any donor who arrived at the booth wearing their favorite CBC t-shirt could draw a chip and choose from a heaping pile of “retired” t-shirts, leftover from previous blood drive campaigns. They could also enter a drawing to win a quilt, lovingly stitched together by donor Tammy Pugh from some vintage CBC blood drive t-shirts. “Got that one, got that one… ah! I like chocolate,” said Union City, Ohio donor Patty Hunt, who grabbed a Hershey chocolate brown t-shirt with the slogan “How Sweet It is to Save a Life!” “I’ve been donating for a couple of years now and I’ve got ﬁve or six of these,” she said of her hunt through the t-shirts before ﬁnding a keeper. Patty donates at CBC mobile blood drives held at Greenville Technology Inc. and she was soon joined by a group of friends from GTI. Donating together at work is a tradition for them, and so is enjoying the fair. “I’m a ‘fair bum’ said Patty. “I take the whole

week off!” “We come every year,” said Jackie Magee, who wore a “Keep Calm & Carry On Saving Lives” t-shirt to the fair, and chose the same chocolate t-shirt as Patty. Jackie did even better at last year’s “T-Shirt Day” when she won the drawing for a pair of Kings Island tickets. “They give us time to donate,” their friend Dot Ellis said about the GTI blood drives. “Afterwards you get your juice and cookies and you go back to work, or go home, whatever you’re ready to do.” Summer weather deﬁnitely returned in time for the fair, with temperatures in the high 80’s and plenty of visitors wearing broad hats and sunglasses with their donor t-shirts. Picking a t-shirt is one of dozens of choices for fairgoers. Fried cakes, grilled sandwiches, and kegs of root beer abound. The midway rides spin, while a live elephant gets ready to make the rounds with paying passengers on his back. Dairy cows relax on beds of hay in the luxurious new dairy

barn, retirees line dance in front of the gazebo, kids race around the fairgrounds enjoying the last freedom of summer, and the grandstand gets ready for the night’s tractor pull and the Veterans Parade. Back at the CBC TShirt booth, Piqua donor Sarah Smith wore an American ﬂag donor t-shirt and for her free t-shirt chose the October Breast Cancer Awareness “I Fight Cancer, I Give Blood” pink ribbon design. “I have an aunt that died from breast cancer she said. “My daughter Katelynn is 15. She remembers her Aunt Trix. Every time she sees a pink ribbon she has to have it.” Pink is clearly Sarah and Katelynn’s choice. The “I Fight Cancer” tshirt was Dana’s choice on T-Shirt Day too. Even in the rainbow of CBC tshirt colors, the electric kaleidoscope of lights on the midway, and all the candy box of attractions at the Great Darke County Fair… one color can sometimes stand out from all the rest.

This beneﬁt is another way to love and support this family as they face the daily challenge of meeting Chris’ needs. His mom, Melanie Miller, describes Chris’ disease and his struggles. Chris is 1 1/2 years old and has two older brothers, Teddy (5) and Caleb (4), and an older sister, Haley (7). Chris has been diagnosed with Cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome or CFC. Individuals with CFC have a genetic mutation that interferes with the proteins that help send signals from outside of cells to the nucleus of the cells. This impacts cell differentiation, reproduction, growth, and when cells die. There is no cure for CFC and it is a very rare and is thought to occur in approximately 1 in 810,000 births. Currently, less than 500 individuals worldwide are diagnosed with the disease.

CFC causes developmental delay and changes in many of the systems of Chris’ body. He sees many specialists, most at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, including a cardiologist, neurologist, gastroenterologist, ophthalmologist, Aerodigestive feeding team specialists, developmental pediatrician, geneticist, speech therapist (to help with eating skills), occupational therapist, physical therapist, and early intervention specialists. He was born premature and spent the first several days on a ventilator due to premature lungs and complications from two heart defects. Chris has been blessed and the hole in his heart has closed; although, he still has an improperly functioning pulmonary valve and has to be monitored for the thickening of his heart muscle. Chris has struggled with the necessary coordination to eat safely. By working with multiple therapists, Chris was able to eat some orally, until he lost the ability shortly after his first birthday due to frequent and prolonged seizures. Throughout his life, Chris has suffered with vomiting several times each day. Recently his feeding tube was placed in his intestines to help Chris maintain enough nutrition to grow. Chris is hooked up to a feeding pump with specialized formula 18 hours each day. Chris began having seizures when he was eight months old. He began with infantile spasms, a rare and catastrophic type of childhood epilepsy. During the winter months Chris was plagued with 8-12 seizure episodes per day lasting 20-30 minutes each. These seizures caused Chris to lose the ability to reach for and hold objects, control his head, smile, coo, and even focus on objects or faces. His infantile spasms finally morphed into other seizure types. Chris currently deals with three different types. They have tried eight different medications to help control his seizures. Despite his many complex challenges, Chris is a happy little boy. In the last few months, he has gotten glasses and a wheelchair, which have helped him tremendously. He has found his sweet smile again, and is currently working on reaching for objects, controlling his head, and trying to sit. Caring for Chris’ many needs is a very emotional and a time consuming task for everyone involved. His siblings have had to learn a great deal of patience in waiting their turn for attention and have had to learn many extra chores around the house and in the garden.

Mississinawa Valley installs new scoreboard BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER www.bluebagmedia.com UNION CITY, Ohio With the start of a new season of football, the Mississinawa Valley Blackhawks stadium will have a new look. The school recently installed a new scoreboard to replace the outdated model that stood for years. It is a digital, wireless unit manufactured by Daktronics. According to Athletic Director Bruce Davison, the school is looking for either two co-sponsors or one main sponsor to help balance out the cost of the new structure. Interested busi-

nesses or individuals can call Davison at 937968-4464 ext. 2010.

The total sponsor section of the scoreboard is 25’ x 3’ and would be

split in half for two cosponsors Davison told The Early Bird.

Little Miss & Mister Darke County Fair Queen & King Ava Hummel and Evan Addis. (Bob Robinson photo)

Hummel, Addis take top “Littles” honors GREENVILLE – At the end of an unexpected long evening, BOB ROBINSON Ava HumAssociate Editor mel was bluebagmedia.com crowned Little Miss Darke County Fair Queen; she joined Little Mister Darke County Fair King Evan Addis, who had been crowned earlier in the evening. The unexpected event was a transformer issue requiring the Little Miss & Mister Pageant to be shut down for nearly an hour shortly after Addis was crowned, so a new transformer could be put in place. The show, however, continued with all participants present after the delay and Hummel was crowned Little Miss. Hummel, 5, is the daughter of Jared & Christi Hummel; Addis, 5, is the son of Larry & Amy Addis. Rounding out the top four boys were first runner-up Hunter Meyers, 4, son of Scott & Darlene Meyers, second runner-up Daniel Davis, 4, son of Marah & Dylan Davis and third runnerup Aaron Wright, 5, son of Clint & Charlene Wright. Rounding out the top four girls were first runner-up Adeline Wooten, 5, daughter of Brad & Lacy Wooten, second runner-up Averi K. Ahrns, 3, daughter of Karl & Tyanna Ahrns and third runner-up Destiny Vanatta, 5, daughter of Sherry Rodeheffer. While judging scores were tallied for the Little Mister, friends and relatives were treated to a medley of Disney songs by Wavaires Brooke Netzley, GHS senior, and Lyssa Middlestetter, GHS junior, and GJHS eighth grader Jenna Netzley. The power delay was hard on the girls; only five had made their appearance on the runway when the transformer is-

sue was detected. Brian Rismiller reached out to Kissel Brothers… and they came through. Pageant Coordinator Cathy Beam said he had tears in his eyes when he told her… the amusement company gave a free full day unlimited pass to all rides (except cash only) to each of the 30 girls in the pageant. “This is what a home town community does,” Beam said. “We look out for each other.” Disney fans were treated to a wide variety of Disney characters, which gave the audience and Emcee Mike Kemper an in-depth treat into the ‘Wonderful World of Disney.’ There were several princesses and Tinkerbelles, a few pirates (“You scared me” “That’s okay, I’m a good pirate” and “Aaaarghh!”), some Peter Pans, Pinocchio (although his nose didn’t grow)… There was the Cinderella who was primed and ready for the ball, a Cinderella who knelt down to scrub the runway each time she appeared. One Mickey Mouse threw confetti all over the runway while another stumped a few of the younger members of the audience by portraying the Mickey Mouse sorcerer in Disney’s 1940 animated ﬁlm, Fantasia. Contestants and Youth Fair Queen Jenna Cline and some of her Court members enjoyed tossing the confetti at the judges and the crowd while the Little Miss votes were tallied. Kemper later said he asked ‘Mickey’ after he’d thrown the confetti around if that’s what his room looked like. “Yep!” Mickey answered. Judges treated to the shower of confetti were Keith Foutz, Dan Franks, Lorraine Grote and Mary Lane. At evening’s end, it was the sorcerer and the fairy princess who earned Top Littles titles. In all there were 44 participants in the pageant.

GREENV I L L E – Two of country music rising superstars RYAN BERRY in one venue Managing Editor bluebagmedia.com performed to a packed house at the Great Darke County Fair. Josh Turner and Scotty McCreery had fans on their feet the entire night with their classic country sound. Their music and demeanor on stage was appropriate for every age. Turner thrilled audiences with his hits, including Long Black Train and Your Man. McCreery, winner of the 10th season of American Idol, stayed true to his country mu-

sic roots. In addition to singing songs off of his album, he also did covers of Hank Williams Sr., Johnny Cash, Alabama and Elvis. The 20-year old singer also shared stories about his time on American Idol. According to ofﬁcials with the Darke County Agricultural Society, 6,000 tickets were sold for the event with approximately 6,700 persons in attendance. The event sold out three weeks prior to the fair. Fairboard Director Cindy Rifﬂe was pleased with the support and felt being able to combine these two solid acts in one venue went a long way in making the concert a success. Prior to the concert,

Midmark earns national Blood Drive Excellence Award the 18 employee blood drives Midmark will host in 2014. Midmark has annually co-sponsored a CBC blood drive with the Versailles High School National Honor Society since 2001. It began hosting employee blood drives at the Midmark Versailles location in 2011. By 2013 the program had grown to 16 blood drives, including the introduction of evening blood drives for late-shift workers, and donations increased 49%. “It’s always a win-win,” said Global Community Relations Manager Mitch Eiting who serves as coordinator for all Midmark blood drives. “Our team members are able to give without going elsewhere and can enjoy the satisfaction they get out of it.

We don’t ask for that, it just happens. That just shows the worth of the program.”

Autism support group meets 8/27 Winner earns landscape award GREENVILLE – ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) in the Darke will meet in the third ﬂoor Community Room of Greenville Public Library on Aug. 27, 6 p.m. Light refreshments will be served. This group was created by local mothers in response to the lack of a support system for Autism Spectrum Disorder in Darke County. The hope is that the group can be a resource and support group for other parents, caregivers and loved ones of those who have been diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum. Par-

ents/caregivers who suspect ASD, but who have not gotten a diagnosis yet, are welcome to attend as well. The group is not limited to parents/loved ones of ASD children, parents of any special needs children are welcome to attend if they think the topic will be relevant. ASD in the Darke wants to know what parents

want to learn more about; what topics will be helpful, and what activities parents/caregivers might want to see brought to the area for ASD children and young adults. Visit www.facebook. com/groups/asdindarke, email asdinthedarke@ gmail.com or call Heather at 417-9274 for more information.

Night Golf Outing for Corynna’s Wish

St. Mary’s School (Greenville) is one of several Darke County organizations benefiting from the Sept. 13 SUNshine 5K, hosted by the Darke County Foundation. Pictured are St. Mary’s students with Principal Vern Rosenbeck.

VERSAILLES – State of the Heart Hospice will hold the nonproﬁt agency’s ﬁrst fund raising event for Corynna’s Wish, a wish granting program for hospice patients, Oct. 4 at the Stillwater Valley Golf Course near Versailles. The event is called “Shine On Corynna Glow Ball Tournament” and will precede a 5K run fundraiser the following Sunday at the Darke County fairgrounds in memory of Corynna Strawser. The golf outing is open to the public. “This event will provide a fun, competitive evening while raising funds for our new wish granting program established to help our State of the Heart patients and families,” stated Ryan

Gathard, Fund Development Director for State of the Heart. “Funds raised will enable us to fulﬁll a wish for a patient or family when they cannot afford the wish or physically accomplish it.” Corynna’s Wish was created to provide such funds for patients to realize a dream or wish they might have in their time remaining. The program was named in honor and in memory of 16-year-old Corynna Strawser, a State of the Heart Hospice patient who shared her battle publicly with a fatal disease called Mitochondrial Disease. She believed strongly in “paying it forward” which is the inspiration for Corynna’s Wish. She passed away in December of 2013. The Glow Ball Tourna-

ment Tee off time is 8:30 p.m., with registration beginning at 7 p.m. The cost is $75 per person, or $225 for a team of four. This price includes nine holes of golf with cart, two glow balls and one glow necklace, pizza, and drinks including beer. The cost for a non golfer who is attending for the food and entertainment is $25 per person. A prize will be awarded to the team ﬁnishing ﬁrst. Entertainment will be provided by DJ Jason Swabb. Gathard said there is room for 18 teams. Please call him at 1-800417-7535 or email him at rgathard@stateoftheheartcare.org to let him know of your plans to participate in the nighttime golf outing.

“We are looking forward to ﬁlling all 18 spaces,” Gathard said. “Corynna captured the hearts and minds of many people who remember her inspirational story. This will be a way for those participating to ‘carry forward’ the good things in life for others.”
