Garst to unveil Dickey Medal of Honor for Veterans Day BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR GREENVILLE – BOB On Nov. ROBINSON Associate Editor 15 Garst bluebagmedia.com Museum will unveil the Official Display Congressional Medal of Honor awarded posthumously to U.S. Marine PFC Douglas E. Dickey of Ansonia in 1967. Dickey earned the medal for heroism during Operation Beacon Hill in Vietnam. He lost his life in battle saving those with him. Garst Museum Executive Director Clay Johnson sent a letter to the U.S. Marine Corps re-
questing Dickey’s Medal of Honor for display on Dec. 17, 2013. “It took this long due to the very strict guidelines required for display,” Johnson said. “There is a very high security priority.” Only two are made. One is for the recipient or recipient’s family. The other is for display as appropriate. In a June 23 letter from the Marine Corps, Johnson was advised U.S. Navy regulations “require that proper facilities be provided for an attractive and dignified display.” The letter also noted the “Medal of Honor must be safeguarded from theft, misuse, or abuse.” It is the
original display medal numbered for purposes of identification; the letter noted missing medals are subject to investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. “It’s interesting,” Johnson said. “Each branch of the service has its own version (of the medal).” This one showed the Navy anchor. He said there was one gentleman instrumental in helping him get this done, Lt. Col. Tom McKenney, USMC (Ret). “He got the ball rolling… he shared a powerful story with me on PFC Dickey; it had a huge impact on his life. It illustrates to this day how important this medal is.”
Johnson then told about a Vietnam veteran he saw sitting outside the museum shortly after the medal had arrived. “I asked him… ‘Would you like to see this?’ I could see it left an emotional impact on him. He was very thankful he had an opportunity to see it. “I was very happy to provide that opportunity to him.” A special exhibit will be set up to display the medal and recognize Dickey, who is the third Congressional Medal of Honor recipient from Darke County. The first two were from the Civil War. On March 22, 2013, the section of State Rte. 47 between State

Peace Pipe to be on display at Shawnee Prairie GREENVILLE – “There were only three of these presented,” BOB ROBINSON Deb ShiverAssociate Editor decker, asbluebagmedia.com sistant director of Darke County Parks said. She was holding the Silver Peace Pipe presented to the Shawanee Indian Tribe by General William Henry Harrison in 1814. The pipe will be on display in the Tecumseh Room at the Shawnee Prairie Preserve Nature Center beginning July 24, until September when it will be returned to its owner, the Kansas City Museum. Parks Director Roger Van Frank noted “That peace pipe was here (emphasis on here) 200 years ago, almost to the date. It was July 22, 1814.” He added “It was smoked and presented (to the Indians).” The other two pipes were presented to the Wyandot and Seneca tribes. Shiverdecker said The Tecumseh Room is nearing completion, with Sidney artist Mila Hamilton, Expressions by
Mila, currently finishing a scenic mural. In addition to the display of the Peace Pipe, the room will include a hands-on display of Native American life in this area. “For the first time, some of the Park District’s artifacts will also be on display… George Washington Peace Medals (from the First Treaty of Greene Ville); and we’ll have a Kinzie Brooch.” She said it was a trading item with the Indians and Kinzie was a noted metal worker of the time. “It was discovered when they were doing the foundation work for the Nature Center,” she said. “We know it is original… his initials are on it.” The grand opening of The Bowery will take place July 25 at 11 a.m., followed by an Honoring Ceremony, at Prairie Ridge Meadow Park. Wampum Belts will be given to the tribal representatives present, plus dignitaries. Gov. John Kasich and Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, along with other state and local representatives, have been invited. Beginning at 2 p.m. there will be native re-enactors, demon-

While Darke County Parks volunteers and staff are preparing for the commemoration of The War of 1812 Peace and Friendship Second Treaty of Greenville Summit, Garst Museum volunteers and staff are preparing for the Garst Gathering July 26 and 27. The overlap wasn’t planned, but it has proven to be a positive for both organizations. Garst Executive Director Clay Johnson said

cilman Todd Oliver was the first to speak up, “I would find that favorable.” Other councilmen nodded their heads in agreement; none expressed any objections. Garrison pointed out an additional officer could not be hired before the start of school, but if they were to begin the search soon they could have the new officer on duty near the first of the year. The Civil Service Test will not be given until council approves an increase to the strength ordinance. The safety/service director hopes the addition will allow the city to concentrate on zoning enforcement when school is not in session. The next regular meeting of council will be Aug. 5, 7:30 p.m., Council Chambers, Municipal Building.
Volunteers work on the reproduction of The Bowery, which was used on July 19, 1814 by the Indians in a war dance, which continued the greater part of the day. The new Bowery will be dedicated July 25 at the opening of the Peace and Friendship Summit at Prairie Ridge Meadow Park.
he and Van Frank were coordinating how it was going to work, noting they are, in reality, two separate events. “What is going on Thursday and Friday will not involve the Gathering,” he said. “And some of the people (or events) taking place may not carry over here. However, we’re very fortunate. There will be a notable increase of top notch quality living history participants this year.” He added the Park District has been extremely helpful in helping the Gathering improve and grow.

Two arrested on arson-related charges
On July 15 police responded to 633 Washington on a possible arson fire of a barn. The resident of the property, Racinda Cobalt, said a neighbor had come to her door stating she saw a group of kids attempting to set the barn on
fire. The Greenville Fire Department responded, along with police officers and a sheriff’s deputy. A portion of the barn had been sprayed with an unknown liquid; two areas in the alley were also wet with the same liquid. The fire department put ab-

sorbent on the spills. The neighbor later reported to the fire department she saw five “kids” walking through the alley. One had a goatee, a second one a little younger, two blonde girls and the fifth one not described. Descriptions were put out. All five were located. Two – Cody Bailey and Zach Geiger – were named as the ones starting fires with lighter fluid; things such as grass, pieces of wood and a barn. One female showed police where lighter fluid had been thrown out. Geiger indicated Bailey was the one setting the fires. He admitted spraying lighter fluid on the barn but had no intention of lighting it. Bailey admitted setting the noted items on fire but would not say who sprayed the barn with lighter fluid. Interviews were taped, however both refused to write a statement. The other witnesses wrote statements. Geiger was charged with attempted arson; Bailey with complicity to attempted arson. Both were taken to jail and held without bond. DOMESTIC On July 8 police were dispatched regarding a possible domestic complaint. Daniel Cornett
arrived at the residence looking for his girlfriend. He reportedly became irate when told she wasn’t there. He allegedly obtained a skewer and knife from the kitchen and threatened to kill the victim, then himself. The weapons were taken away and he began punching the victim. He was eventually pinned down until police arrived. Police observed him being held in a headlock, struggling. Then he closed his eyes and began shaking like in a seizure. Cornett was released and Greenville Township Rescue was called. When the officer patted him down he “came to” and said the victim had “choked him out.” One officer took Cornett outside while another spoke with the victim and witnesses. Cornett reportedly became upset nothing was being done to the victim and began hitting his head on a rail. He resisted attempts to handcuff him and continued verbal abuse against the police and the victim. It took two officers to get him into the cruiser. On the way to the Darke County jail he continually struck his head on the side window and spit on the dividing screen. At the jail he was abusive to the officers there. He was cited for Domestic Violence, Domestic Violence by Threat and Resisting Arrest. DRUGS On July 14 police were dispatched to 216 Victoria Dr. on a reported overdose of drugs. The caller was Erik Straub. Upon arrival the officer saw Brian Houdeshell lying on his back on the floor of the basement. The officer checked; breathing and pulse were okay. Despite repeated attempts, Houdeshell didn’t respond. Emergency Services responded and began treatment, during which Houdeshell became responsive. Both Straub and Houdeshell admitted taking one cap of heroin they had gotten in Dayton. Straub provided the used needle. Straub wrote
a statement; Houdeshell refused. Houdeshell also refused further EMS treatment. The case will be given to the prosecutor’s office regarding possible Felony Possession of Heroin charges. On July 12 police stopped a silver Volvo on East Main St. for a license plate violation. The officer smelled the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the vehicle; the driver, Jordy Schricker, was 20; the passenger, Christopher Cruea, was 18. Schricker stated he had not been drinking and passed a field sobriety test. While doing a ‘probable cause’ search police discovered 12 beer bottles in the back seat, seven more in the trunk. Two small burnt cigarette-like items having the odor of marijuana were located inside a bag on the passenger side floor of the vehicle. Shricker was cited for underage possession of alcohol; Cruea was cited for marijuana drug paraphernalia. On July 11 police responded to 217 Warren St. for a possible drug overdose. The suspect (unnamed in the report) was unconscious on the floor. The homeowner stated the suspect appeared to be intoxicated when he arrived; he had an open beer in his hand. The homeowner said the suspect went into the bathroom briefly; when he came out he fell to the floor. While waiting for EMS the officer did a pat down of the subject and found a syringe. After the suspect was revived he admitted to injecting two caps of heroin that day. He was then transported to Wayne Hospital for treatment. A charge will be determined once the officer receives hospital information. DUI On July 8 about 10 p.m. police stopped a silver Plymouth Neon with one working headlight on South Br0adway. The officer detected an odor of alcoholic beverage coming

from the vehicle and the driver’s breath when he spoke. His eyes appeared bloodshot and glassy, his speech slurred. The driver, Justin Ditty, did poorly on a field sobriety test; he was placed under arrest and transported to the Greenville Police Department. The breath test registered .11. Ditty was placed under Administrative License Suspension and released to a friend. DISORDERLY CONDUCT On July 8 police were dispatched regarding a possible domestic violence complaint. The suspect, Kashish Edger, reportedly forced his way into the home of the victim to see his child. He had been told he was not welcome since he’d allegedly said he wouldn’t have anything to do with the child without a paternity test. Edger pushed the victim out of the way and made a verbal threat to her. He left when another individual entered the room. Upon request Edger went to the police station and gave his side of the story, saying he didn’t threaten or shove anyone. Based upon two witness statements, he was issued misdemeanor citations for Disorderly Conduct and Criminal Trespass. On July 4 David Oda was sitting on his porch at 312 N. Gray Ave. reading a newspaper when a neighbor, Tim Hurd, made a negative comment about him in a loud voice. Hurd then walked up the stairs to Oda’s porch, put his fist to Oda’s face and reportedly said “I should just hit you.” Oda said “go ahead.” Hurd responded “If I hit you I’ll have to kill you!” Oda told police he has been continually harassed by Hurd and “cannot even enjoy his front porch.” Hurd said he admits stating he should hit Oda but didn’t go on his property. He refused to write a statement, indicating he would be contacting the NAACP instead. Hurd was cited for Disorderly Conduct.
Wavaire camp concert set this event. Doors open at 6:15 p.m. Join The Wavaires before the show for a delicious Spaghetti Dinner to be served in the fellowship hall of EUM Church, 111 Devor Street, Greenville. Dine in or carry out from 5-6:30 p.m. The meal includes spaghetti, breadstick, and brownie. Drink is included for those dining in.

Weather, petting zoo draws record crowd BY BOB ROBINSON ASSOC. EDITOR www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE – Downtown Greenville was “hopping� Friday evening for the July First Friday event; many families were gathered around baby chicks, baby ducks, kittens and the Darke County Humane Society’s Domer the dog. There was also a long line at the corner of Greenville National Bank; they were waiting patiently for their ‘free’ (donations accepted) hot dogs and hamburgers. “I can’t keep up with the demand,� said volunteer Dave Ernst shortly after the evening started. He dropped another dozen-plus burgers and dogs on the grill. “I’ve already pumped out 120.� Crowds of parents and grandparents were gathered around their little ones as they picked up and cuddled the baby chicks and ducklings that didn’t manage to elude the small hands reaching for them. The kids were enjoying themselves; the objects of their affection maybe not as much. Domer was greeting children and adults alike;
according to his handler he enjoys kids. The family in his ďŹ rst home was burned out; they had to ďŹ nd a new place to live. It was one that didn’t allow pets, so Domer is looking for a new home. Further north on Broadway, RSVP (Retired Senior Volunteer Program) volunteers were challenging kids to learn the necessary skills to use 4-man skis. Didn’t seem to work too well, but the children – in this case, Ava, Sarah, Ashton and Logan – had fun trying. Down by the movie theater Dori Howdieshell, Cancer Association of Darke County, had a bowling game set up for kids‌ “Strike! Spare! (or whatever!) Come back in 15 minutes to get your bracelet.â€? “Why 15 minutes?â€? “I had to send Mark out for more! We’ve handed out 185 already.â€? Over the course of ďŹ ve minutes, another 15 youngsters won a bracelet. “I’ll know better next year,â€? Howdieshell added. Across the street, Greta the Great Horned Owl and the Darke County Parks’ brown snake were enter-

taining visitors; also scheduled to appear was Joseph the Red Tailed Hawk. The owl is totally blind; she was hit by a truck several years ago and has been living at Shawnee Prairie about ďŹ ve years. The snake eats mice and other small animals. “They must really be small,â€? said one youngster, looking at the snake’s tiny head. “You’d be surprised how wide that mouth can open,â€? came the answer, “and he only gets fed once a week, on Mondays.â€? These were just a few of the opportunities kids had to enjoy games and other “fun thingsâ€? while host non-proďŹ ts talked to parents about their organiza-
tions. In all, 18 agencies were entertaining visitors, young and old, and offering everything from a lollipop tree to fruit loop necklace making. Main Street Greenville intern Sunni Tomlinson said she loves what they are doing. “It’s good to see kids out here learning all these things‌ the snake and owl at Darke County Parks. Instead of sitting around watching TV they’re out here learning.â€? “This is a great crowd‌

Local man brings home 2014 Freedom Games silver medal
BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER www.bluebagmedia.com DARKE COUNTY A local man was among only 40 individuals on Team USA who traveled abroad to Cancun, Mexico in June to compete in the Freedom Games. The Freedom Games are an Olympicstyle, worldwide martial arts tournament held each year. Competitors must qualify to be part of their country’s team. Geoff BurchďŹ eld, 26, of Hillgrove, was one of only two Americans who competed in submission grappling at the 2014 games. BurchďŹ eld took home the silver medal for Team USA in his ďŹ rst time competing in the Freedom Games. “The experience was nerve racking, but great,â€? BurchďŹ eld said. “I used those nerves as fuel to bring home the silver medal.â€? BurchďŹ eld started out competing in mixed martial arts (MMA), but switched to submission grappling after he says “it is a little less dangerous now being a family man.â€? He currently lives with his wife Desiree and 6-year-old daughter Braylin and young son Axle, named after the famous Guns & Roses lead singer. BurchďŹ eld told The Early Bird submission grappling, which is a form of Japanese Jujitsu, is a lot like high school wrestling minus all the points. Each ďŹ ght consists of one ďŹ ve minute round with both opponents attempting to force the other to tap out (submit). Points only come into play if both ďŹ ghters go the full ďŹ ve minutes without submitting. This happened in BurchďŹ eld’s gold medal round during the Freedom Games. He was

Tuba soloist to be featured at concert GREENVILLE – The Greenville Municipal Concert Band returns to the Marling Band Shell in the Greenville City Park for a concert on July 20, 7:30 p.m. Seating is available on park benches in front of the band shell, or listeners may bring their own lawn chairs. The concert is free and open to the public. The band will be under the direction of Doug Albright. Brett Clark will be performing a special solo number on the tuba. Brett is a 1985 graduate of Greenville High School. He first joined the municipal band as a trumpet player in 1984. After being accepted into the music program at Bowling Green State University the following year, he developed a fondness for “heavy metal music” and switched to tuba. In addition to the tuba, Brett is also
an accomplished bassist and plays double bass and bass guitar with the municipal jazz band. Brett resides with his family in the Village of Gettysburg. He will play “Solo Pomposo” with the band. The famed Ohio composer, Henry Fillmore, wrote “Solo Pomposo” to show off the high technical level to which fine tuba players can aspire. The music of Henry Fillmore, the Ohio march king, figures prominently in the remainder of the concert as well. Fillmore marches scheduled for performance include: “Men of Ohio,” “Military Escort,” “Orange Bowl” and “Americans We.” Another Fillmore specialty was the “trombone smear.” The municipal band trombone section will be featured on the best known of Fillmore’s smears, “Lassus
Trombone.” A variety other music is on the program, including “March and Procession of Bacchus” and “The Bare Necessities.” “At the Movies” is a medley of tunes from such movies such as Forrest Gump, Night at the Museum, The Avengers and Polar Express” “The Birth of Rock and Roll,” a medley of early rock tunes, is sure to be a crowd
favorite. The Greenville Municipal Concert Band has been an important part of the musical life of the city of Greenville since the founding of the band in the late 1800s. The Marling Band Shell and the Greenville City Park provide an unexcelled setting for a band concert for listeners and performers alike.

Mayor thanks fireworks donors BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE – After a several year hiatus from the Darke County Fairgrounds, fireworks returned to the City of Greenville during the Independence Day celebration. Greenville Mayor Michael Bowers and Greenville City Council planned for the event long before the first firework was shot into the sky, but it took a little extra work from the mayor to get the job done. Council agreed at the beginning of the year to allocate $5,000 from Community Funds towards fireworks without anyone or organization stepping up to lead the way. In late spring, Mayor Bowers began making phone calls in search of either forming a 501c3 non-profit organization or finding one that would be willing to help with the event. The 501c3 was necessary to seek do-
nations. The Darke County Agricultural Society accepted the mayor’s offer and agreed to host the fireworks and allowed him to use their 501c3 to accept donations. A few phone calls later and Bowers had raised $10,000 to go along with the city’s $5,000 contribution. Three Greenville banks contributed nearly $5,000 towards the event. Mayor Bowers thanked Greenville Federal, Second National Bank and Greenville National Bank for their donation. The city’s contribution came from the “bed tax” levied on local hotels. These funds can only be used for community events and for contributions to Main Street Greenville and the Darke County Visitors Bureau. Bowers is already planning for next year’s event and hopes to make it bigger and better.

GREENVILLE – Come support Main Street Greenville during its first Eat on the Street: A Food Truck Rally on July 20. The event, held in downtown Greenville, 5-8 p.m., will feature three food trucks, each providing a unique menu in a fun dining environment. “We have had many requests for food truck rallies and we wanted to give it a try. It has become quite popular across the country and it helps provide more options to local citizens,” said Amber Garrett, Main Street Greenville Executive Director. The three food trucks visiting Greenville will be The Shakery Juice Bar, Harvest Mobile Cuisine, and VooDoo Taco, and will be located in the 120 West Third Street parking lot. “Our organization’s mission is to revitalize our downtown district, trying new things is a good way to revitalize,” said Garrett. Patrons can either enjoy their food at the food truck rally location with live music provided by Jennifer Murray or get their food to-go and head
to the Greenville City Park for the Greenville Municipal Band Sunday night concert, starting at 7:30 pm at the band shell. “Some food truck vendors are using the trucks as a temporary location, and our hope is that some of the vendors will enjoy downtown Greenville so much they’ll want to open a permanent location,” said Garrett. “We scheduled the event on a Sunday night for a few reasons. We did not want the event to harm busy times for our existing downtown restaurants and we wanted to help promote the Sunday concerts in our beautiful Greenville City Park.” Main Street Greenville is a non-profit organization committed to stimulating and supporting revitalization efforts, historic preservation and economic growth in historic downtown Greenville. To learn more about the organization, visit www. DowntownGreenville.org or call 548-4998.

ON YOUR MIND
READERS WRITE Thank You Versailles On behalf of the Versailles Poultry Days Chairmen and Board of Directors, I would like to extend a sincere, “Thank You!” to the numerous volunteers that helped make the 2014 Poultry Days festival a success. I have been honored to be part of a special team, The Versailles Poultry Days Committee, these past nine years! I would especially like to thank this year’s committee: Brian Pearson, Brian Henry, Kevin Kissinger, Jeff Lyme, Dawn Luthman, Vicki Ruhe, Sharon Barga, Doug Groff, Brian Wood, Eric Stachler, Jeff Barga, Luke Subler, Nicole Lyme, Paige Slonkosky, Ron Gehret, Jodie Bohman, Alex Luthman, Brent Pepple, Keith Wuebker and Louie VonDuhn. This group epitomizes the volunteer spirit and cooperation that makes a great team! I would also like to thank: Versailles Fire Department, Versailles EMS, Versailles Police Department, Village of
Versailles Employees, Versailles School Custodians, and Versailles Board of Education for their outstanding continued support of the Poultry Days Festival. Because of the collective efforts put forth by so many individuals, Poultry Days is able to play a part in improving the quality of life for a better Versailles. The crown jewel of these efforts is Heritage Park. Heritage Park was developed and is maintained with proceeds from the annual Poultry Days festival. I am very grateful for the tremendous cooperation and many contributions from local businesses and individuals that contribute to the planning and running of the festival. This is another example of what makes Versailles such a great community in which to work and live! Again, thanks to all of you and let’s continue to strive to make Versailles and Poultry Days better every year! Shawn Peters 2014 Poultry Days Chairman
Suing the president is not a joke Over the past five years, President Obama has circumventJOHN BOEHNER ed the U.S. REPRESENTATIVE American SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE people and their elected representatives through executive action, changing and creating his own laws, and excusing himself from enforcing statutes he is sworn to uphold. We’re not going to sit idly by while this president chips away at the very foundation of our democracy, which is why the House is now initiating legal action to compel the president to follow his oath of office and faithfully execute the laws of our country. While the president would like you to believe that this is some kind of Republican stunt, let me be clear – this isn’t about Republicans versus Democrats; it’s about protecting the Constitution. And when I heard the president respond to our plan with a lighthearted, “So sue me,” – I was extremely disappointed. This is no joke, Mr. President. The American people are frustrated. As Hope from Liberty Township puts it, “The tax-paying, hard-working citizens of the USA deserve better than what we have in this administration.” Sharon from Tipp City recently wrote to me, saying, “Something must be done to stop his abuse of power, trampling of constitutional rights, and his refusal to follow
the law.” Just take a look at what the Constitution says about all of this. It’s simple, really: the president must faithfully execute the laws, and only the Legislative Branch has the power to legislate. But the current president has demonstrated that he believes he has the power to make his own laws – at times even boasting about it. He has said that if Congress won’t make the laws he wants, he’ll go ahead and make them himself. In the case of the health care law’s employer mandate – which is arguably the best known example of his executive overreach – the president changed the law without a vote of Congress, effectively creating his own law by literally waiving the mandate and the penalties for failing to comply with it. Simply put, he legislated without the Legislative Branch – and the Constitution doesn’t give presidents the power to do that. No president should have such authority – that’s not the way our system of government was designed to work, and that’s not how the American people expect their government to run. This aggressive unilateralism practiced by President Obama presents a direct challenge to the constitutional balance of powers, and the House is compelled to respond. This is not a stunt or joke. This is about standing up for the Legislative Branch, and the Constitution, and that’s exactly what the House is going to do.

BY KEITH FOUTZ PUBLISHER www.bluebagmedia.com After ignoring visiting dentist offices as I was maturing, (a work still in progress), and after many suggestions from my bride of 30 years, I finally began making up for lost time over the last decade with frequent trips to the local dentist. So, during this past decade I began making nearly quarterly trips which resulted in more than a half dozen root canals and crowns and a few veneers for my previously neglected teeth. You would think by this time I should have a wing named after me at some dentistry college or at the very least Christmas cards showing my dentist in Hawaii surfing or on the slopes skiing saying thank you. Now, after all this time and investment, I thought I was in good shape, teeth wise. I have now found out differently. Shortly af-

being truthful. Let me explain how I learned I’m a little less than smart. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon. The sun was shining, birds were singing and fish were biting. It was a family get-together with my wife’s family and I was thoroughly enjoying my afternoon. I caught a couple of little blue gills, but I knew there was something bigger in that pond. My daughter had tired of fishing and I was using her pole as well as mine. As I was sitting there sipping on my soda the line started going out on my daughter’s pole. I reached down to grab it and missed. It headed for the water. I did the only thing a fisherman with the big one on the line would do. I went in the water after it. The fish broke the line, but I saved the fishing pole. It may not sound too much like I’m an idiot yet, but there’s more. I didn’t
empty my pockets before I took my little swim. To save a $13 fishing pole I nearly sacrificed two iPhones worth about $600. Not only was my phone in my pocket, but my daughter had left her phone on the ground and I picked it up so it wouldn’t get damaged. I thought I was being a good dad. My oldest daughter agreed with my wife and youngest daughter that I’m an idiot when she learned I was taking her phone if mine didn’t work. After spending a night in a bag of rice to dry out we had a little good news. The phones were working with a few glitches. My speaker isn’t working they way it should and one of the camera’s on my phone bit the dust. The other one still works, but I can only take selfies, which is perfect since most selfies make you look like an idiot.

Even with spell check I don’t know what I am.) I had to man-up and take my tongue lashing. All I could say was, “Yes dear. You’re right. I’m sorry.” I now realize every time my wife, co-workers, family, friends, the creepy guy down the street and complete strangers called me brainless they weren’t being mean – they were

ter a routine cleaning, I developed a toothache. Upon my first visit back to the dentist, he believed one of my crowns simply needed adjusting for a better “bite fit.” I admit, his quick adjustment did bring some temporary relief. Temporary being the key word here as the following day the pain returned accompanied by some swelling. So, upon a second visit a few days later, this resulted in his recommendation for the dreaded “R” word, a root canal. Since he doesn’t perform that procedure, he recommended someone whom I made an appointment with for the following week. For those of you keeping score,
that’s two visits to the dentist with zero results and now going into the end of week two. Upon driving to and visiting his recommended dentist, I learned, during now my third visit, a root canal probably wouldn’t resolve the issue, (I believe he gave it a 60% chance of success), and unfortunately extraction and possibly an implant was the best route for me to follow. Yet again this individual doesn’t perform those types of tasks and he recommended yet another individual for me to make yet another appointment to see. As I drove back to work thinking that I have now invested hundreds and
hundreds of dollars more into my mouth with potentially more expense yet to come, three visits and headed into week three, I still have the same toothache, I began to question my chosen profession and career path. So as I sit here at my keyboard pondering my options for resolution and weighing the pro’s and con’s of my investment into my teeth, I think I have a much better understanding as to why some folks simply opt out for false teeth. I also wished I had listened closer to my parents when they requested I brush my teeth each day or they would eventually fall out. I didn’t realize how wise they were.

Sassy Sewers make bears GREENVILLE – Thanks to the efforts of the Sassy Sewers of the First United Methodist Church in Greenville, the young people attending State of the Heart Hospice’s 14th annual Camp BEARable for grieving children will get teddy bears made by the group. “This project was very touching and special for the ladies in our group,” explained Judy Kugel, chairman of the Mission Committee for the
church. “As they worked to create the bears, they thought of the children and their grief. We prayed over the bears realizing they would help heal the wounds of the children.” This is the fifth year that the Sassy Sewers, which is made up mostly of Darke County residents, has done a project for charity. They put together 31 bears, beginning at the end of March and completing the bears the
first of May. Each year, the children attending camp get their own bear to take home with them from camp. The bears are a constant reminder of their time at camp and will remind them of things they learned at camp about grief and loss and dealing with their own grief. Each child is paired with a specially trained “buddy” who spends time with the camper over the weekend.

Annie Oakley Festival ready Tradition continues at festival with Civic Theater melodrama for event in new location GREENVILLE – The Annie Oakley Festival Committee is very excited to again bring its historical tour back to the 2014 festival. Visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy the 90-minute tour of historic Greenville on an air conditioned charter bus. The tour is free with the $3 weekend gate pass. This year’s tour will leave from the festival grounds at York Woods, on the corner of US Route 127 and Reed Road, and travel into Greenville. The bus will pass through historic downtown, past St. Clair Memorial Hall, Greenville Library, Darke County Courthouse, site of the Treaty of Greenville, important locations in Annie Oakley’s life and many more fascinating historical places within the City of Greenville. The bus will then travel north on US Route 127 to a few miles north of the festival grounds to Brock Cemetery where everyone will have an opportunity to get off the bus for a few minutes to visit Annie Oakley’s gravesite. The bus will then return to the festival grounds. This year’s tours will be narrated by Karen Chronister, a fourth grade teacher at Tri-Village Elementary with a passion for Ohio history. There will be ďŹ ve tours departing throughout the week-
end. Tours on July 26 will leave at 1, 3 and 5 p.m. On July 27, tours will leave at 1 and 3 p.m. Visitors to the festival are encouraged to visit the festival headquarters before the tour bus is scheduled to leave so they can reserve their seat for the desired time. The Annie Oakley Committee is able to provide this tour free of charge thanks to the support of many local Darke County businesses. The committee will also once again be opening its annual festival with a pilgrimage to Annie Oakley’s gravesite following the ďŹ nals of the Miss Annie Oakley shooting competition. This year the ďŹ nals will take place on July 24, 6 p.m., at York Woods. Once the 2014 Miss Annie Oakley has been decided, a caravan will leave from the festival grounds at York Woods and travel the four and a half miles north to Brock Cemetery. Once there, the 2014 Miss Annie Oakley will lay a oral wreath on Annie’s grave, donated by Plessinger Brothers Florists and Laura Francis, Miss Annie Oakley 2011, will speak briey about Darke County’s most famous daughter.

GREENVILLE – The Darke County Civic Theatre is proud to present its annual summer melodrama at the Annie Oakley Festival, as it has been for many years. This year the festival moves to York Woods, 1629 Reed Road, at the corner of US Route 127 and Reed Road. The melodrama will be held in the largest tent, and the organization is very excited about the move and to be performing in a tent once again. This year’s melodrama, titled “Haunted Hijinks or The Ghastly Ghost of Dead Man’s Gulchâ€? is being put on by local actors who are very excited to be putting on this locally written melodrama. The play takes place in present day Dead Man’s Gulch, an old west town that’s been bought by the villainous Mel Evolant (Sandy Hartley). Mel and her accomplices, Claire Voyant (Karen Hamilton) and Manny Fest (Matt Cline) hatch a plot to ďŹ nd the treasure of the old west outlaw Willie the Kid (Lacey Snyder). To accomplish this Mel needs a ring owned by a history teacher named Archie Ology (Jackson Aukerman), who brings a few students and the school librarian Dustee Tome (Danielle Sink) along for the ride. The plan only becomes more complex when more guests show up, including an explosion happy movie producer, old west obsessed fanatics, and a bickering married couple on their way to the honeymoon. Very soon the whole Inn is full of crazy characters and spooky sounds as all kinds of haunted hi-
jinks break loose. The rest of this fun and talented cast include the three students: Jennifer Gibson as Velma Blake, Drew Burns as Ray Spangler, and Mike Hamilton as Casper Spectral. Dan Cline plays the crazed groundskeeper Hannibal Poe, while Simon Hoying and Did Howell bring to life Hector Plasm and Levy Tation, the argumentative couple. Trevor DeSchepper and Connie DeSchepper play Michael Day and Cam Eras, the loud mouth movie producer and his camera woman, while Mark Howell plays the bumbling Sheriff Smith N. Wesson. Rounding out this fun ďŹ lled cast is Rick DeSchepper, playing Perry Normal, and Lacey Snyder also playing Abby Normal, the old west fanatics. This play was written by Arcanum resident and DCCT member Jackson Aukerman. This is Jackson’s third melodrama with the group in as many years, and previously to that was a four year member of the Arcanum High School Drama Club. He has enjoyed being a member of the group, and has a lot of fun every year spending the

Greenville McDonald’s is still a top store after 25 years BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE – The Greenville McDonalds north store celebrated its 25th anniversary this week. Representatives from Scott Family McDonalds joined with employees of the store and the Darke County Chamber of Commerce for a ribbon cutting on July 14. Benny Scott, Jr. praised employees of the Greenville store for
making it one of the top stores in their franchise. He also credited the community for making the business successful. “Your support has been fabulous,” he said. “You have two great restaurants that are successful for us.” Scott recalled when his father purchased the land for the store. He looked around at what was built now and said, “This was farmland. They (community lead-
ers) said this is what is going to happen.” Greenville Mayor Mike Bowers congratulated the store on its longevity and called the company “A great corporate citizen.” The mayor continued, “Thank your dad for buying it. Thank you and your dad for deciding to build here.” McDonalds celebrated all week long with special savings on food and a visit from Ronald McDonald.
Hunt gets prison after threatening girlfriend with gun BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER www.bluebagmedia.com GREENVILLE – A 21year-old man was sentenced to 36 months in prison after being convicted of breaking into a home in January making physical threats and demands with a firearm. Jason L. Hunt appeared for his sentencing in the Darke County Common Pleas Court July 11 morning after pleading guilty in May to one count of Aggravated Burglary, a first degree felony. Hunt was indicted after being arrested for breaking into a home at 102 Anderson Street in New Madison on Jan. 12. According to investigators, Hunt and his girlfriend Hillarie Frech, 22, had an argument at a Main Street home in New Madison earlier in the evening. Hunt admitted to being drunk and high on drugs at the time of the offense. He reportedly followed Frech to a friend’s home and proceeded to force his way inside demanding Frech leave with him. He was later arrested by the Darke County Sheriff’s Office and charged with the incident. The courtroom was packed with family, friends and current employer supporting Hunt. Frech, who remains by Hunt’s side, was also present at the sentencing hearing. “It is rare to see the support for a young person that is here today,” Hunt’s defense attorney, James P. Fleisher addressed the court. “This is about a young couple that loves one another, but had an unfortunate incident fueled by drugs and alcohol.” Darke County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Deborah S. Quigley told the court the state recommends a prison sentence, but would not be opposed to a judicial release after Hunt serves

at least 18 months. The defense argued a community control sanction would be appropriate and allow Hunt to keep his job. Prior to handing down the sentence, Judge Jonathan P. Hein let some of Hunt’s supporters speak. “I don’t want to see his future ruined by him going to prison,” Frech said. “This was just a one time thing and we want to have a future together.” “He made a bad mistake that night while he was drinking,” said Hunt’s father. “He is trying to stay on the right track and is not worth sending to jail and throwing away the key.” Fleisher read aloud a letter written by Hunt, stating his client was too nervous to read it himself. “I am not the man I was on the night. I have a good job now and would probably lose it if I go to
prison,” Fleisher read. “I ask that you please give me a second chance.” Hunt was clearly emotional as Judge Hein announced the sentence in open court. “The public wants to see the punishment fit the crime. There is just no way a community sanction would be the right outcome in this case,” Judge Hein stated. “You made a bad choice that night,” he said to Hunt. “One bad decision led to another and spun into mayhem.” Though the state said they will oppose any early release before Hunt serves 18 months, he is eligible to file for it after 180 days. Hunt was also ordered to pay over $1,000 in restitution to the victim and will be placed on post release control for up to 60 months upon his release from prison.

How to stretch your vacation dollar The affordable vacation is becoming more and more rare. Rising fuel costs have made air and automotive travel considerably more expensive, hamstringing many would-be travelers’ budgets before they even begin their search for a hotel or private rental. While vacations may have become more expensive in recent years, that should not prevent men and women from booking trips to enjoy a little rest and relaxation. In fact, there are many ways to stretch your vacation dollar without sacrificing the quality of your getaway. * Shake things up with your travel schedule. Flexibility can be your greatest ally with regard to stretching your vacation dollar, so consider traveling on less popular travel days when planning your vacation. For example, Low Prices at

instead of booking your vacation to coincide with a typical work week, consider breaking your vacation up over a two-week period, leaving on a Wednesday and returning the following Tuesday. Both your outgoing and return flights will likely be less expensive than they would be if you were to travel on a weekend, when flights tend to be more expensive, and you will still get to enjoy a full week’s worth of vacation. * Consider booking through a travel website. Many travel websites, including Groupon and LivingSocial, offer travel packages at heavily discounted prices. While some people are understandably skittish about booking trips through such sites, a little research can go a long way toward calming any nerves you might have about booking your trip. Read previous customer reviews of a deal before booking your trip, shying away from deals that fellow

Warm weather provides a great opportunity to slow down and savor time spent having fun in the great outdoors. But time spent away from home often leads to meals made on the fly or last-minute jaunts to a nearby fast-food restaurant. Though last-minute meals or trips to the local burger joint might be convenient, they are not always healthy. Fortunately, there are other ways to eat well even when you’re pressed for time. * Choose fast-cooking foods. Stock the pantry with items that will cook quickly. Fresh produce can be steamed or grilled in only a few minutes and served alone as a vegetarian meal or mixed with other foods for a quick entree. Seafood tends to cook quite fast, and many seafood dishes make for a low-fat source of healthy protein and essential fatty acids. Seafood also is lighter on the stomach, which fits well with the smaller meals

travelers felt fell short of their expectations. In addition to gauging reaction from past customers, do your own homework on the resorts included in each package you’re considering, and then make an educated decision based on your research. * Book an escorted vacation. If your vacation is going to be less about relaxing poolside and more along the lines of sightseeing and experiencing a different culture, then an escorted vacation might be your most affordable option. On an escorted vacation, your itinerary is prearranged, and that itinerary likely includes many popular tourist attractions and destinations. Such vacations are typically offered at a set price per person, and that price typically includes the cost of transportation, which can be considerable when traveling abroad. * Pack light. Anyone who has traveled by air over the last decade is
likely aware that baggage costs are another thing to consider when establishing a vacation budget. While men and women flying alone might be able to grin and bear it with regard to baggage fees, parents traveling with kids in tow might be forced to shell out hundreds of dollars in baggage fees alone. When packing for a vacation, pack light so you aren’t left paying hefty baggage fees before boarding your outgoing and returning flights. * Familiarize yourself with local tipping standards. Tipping standards vary depending on the country, so it pays to research tipping standards before traveling abroad so you aren’t unnecessarily overtipping. Many resorts already include the cost of a tip when billing guests for food and beverage, and some allinclusive resorts may have already factored staff tips into your bill when determining the cost of your stay. You may tip several hundred dollars over the course of a weeklong stay, and that might be money wasted if your resort has already factored tips into the cost of your stay. Doing your homework might just save you a substantial amount of money. The cost of travel has skyrocketed in recent years. But savvy travelers can still satisfy their wanderlust without breaking the bank.

people tend to enjoy during warm weather. Even foods that take a long time to cook can be prepared quickly. Thick cuts of meat or poultry can be fileted or sliced to allow them to cook faster. * Cook with high heat. Instead of slow-roasting or plugging in the slow cooker for hours on end, instant meal gratification often means cranking up the heat. That is why grilling is such a popular cooking method this time of year. Grilling will sear meats and vegetables over high heat, sometimes as much as 400 to 500 F, cooking foods rapidly as a result. Select meats that do well over high heat, such as those that are tender, because they will not require long cooking periods to break down the fibers in the meat. If grilling is not an option, then stir-frying is another way to cook fast over high heat. Invest in a wok or another deep frying pan for such meals. * Have prepared items on standby. Keep the refrigerator stocked with already-washed vegetables and lettuce. Parboiled potatoes or pasta can be mixed in with a number of different ingredients to create a filling meal. When free time allows, develop a plan so meals take less time to
prepare. If frozen items must be defrosted, make sure to put them in the refrigerator the day before they will be cooked to begin the thawing period. Otherwise, use a microwave to safely defrost foods rather than leaving them out on the counter where bacteria can grow. * Don’t fret a no-fuss night. Not every meal has to be a three-course delight. A fast dinner could equate to a sandwich or salad. Breakfast foods for dinner are also quite popular and can cook up quickly. Surprise everyone with French toast or pancakes made savory with bits of bacon and spinach in the batter. When all else fails, a bowl of cereal can be adequate and fast. * When dining out, go healthy. Sometimes takeout or a meal out with friends or family is the perfect ending to a great day. Restaurant food tends to pack more fat and calories into larger-than-normal portion sizes, so choose steamed or broiled foods whenever possible. Divide larger portions among other diners. Clear soups are better for you than cream-based soups. Try to fill up on vegetables rather than bread served before the meal.
Relaxation techniques to calm your nerves Since 2007, the American Psychological Association has commissioned an annual nationwide survey to examine the state of stress across the United States and understand its impact. The 2013 survey found that people continue to experience what they feel are unhealthy stress levels, with 42 percent of adult respondents reporting that their stress levels have increased over the past five years. In addition, 44 percent of survey respondents feel they aren’t doing enough to manage their stress, painting a potentially troubling future for people who cannot find better and healthier ways to manage their stress. The picture is none the rosier in Canada, where data from the 2012 Canadian Community Health Survey revealed that nearly 23 percent of Canadians aged 15 and older reported that most days were “quite a bit or extremely stressful.” While those figures marked a slight improvement from the previous year’s survey, it’s apparent that stress is still a considerable concern for people throughout both the United States and Canada. Though many people unfortunately regard stress as an inevitable side effect of adulthood, it’s important that men, women and even children avoid characterizing stress as simply a byproduct of a difficult and/or successful life and career. Even momentary stress, often referred to as “acute stress,” like the kind that appears when stuck in a traffic jam, can have a potentially devastating impact on overall health. According to the American Institute of Stress, acute stress causes an increase in heart rate and stronger contractions of the heart muscle, and some medical professionals have suggested there is a link between repeated episodes of acute stress and heart attack. Regular use of relaxation techniques to reduce stress can help to counteract the effects of long-term stress, which
the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine notes can contribute to depression, digestive disorders, headaches, high blood pressure, and insomnia. While it’s always best for anyone, and especially those people with heart disease, epilepsy, certain psychiatric conditions or a history of abuse or trauma, to consult their health care provider before attempting to address their stress on their own, the following are two popular relaxation techniques that may help relieve stress in a healthy way. Meditation There are many types of meditation, but in general people who meditate employ certain techniques when meditating. These techniques may include maintaining a specific posture or finding a quiet, distraction-free location to meditate. Many practitioners of meditation choose to recite a positive mantra that they repeat throughout their session. While many people question the effectiveness of meditation, research has suggested that routine meditation sessions can alter the brain’s neural pathways and make a person more capable of combatting stress. Yoga Yoga has grown increasingly popular in recent years, and much of that can be traced to the multitude of health benefits that have been linked to this typically low-impact practice of the mind and body. The NCCAM notes that studies have suggested yoga is effective at lowering heart rate and blood pressure and can even relieve anxiety and depression. Those are beneficial side effects for sufferers of stress, which over time can contribute to high blood pressure and arrhythmia (abnormal heartbeat) and even cause people to worry too much about minor things or suspect bad things are about to happen.

‘Stalk and Awe’ busy with Greenville geese control
Jenna Cline and Thomas Shaw were named 2014 Darke County Fair Junior Queen and King July 15 at Memorial Hall. Left to Right: Third Runners Up were Lane Manning and MacKenzie Dirmeyer; First Runners Up Morgan McKinney and Andrew Wright; and Second Runners Up Courtney Rose and Brad Slyder.
Cline, Shaw take Junior Fair Queen & King honors GREENVILLE – “Dedication, determination, ambition… alBOB ROBINSON ways have Associate Editor a smile on bluebagmedia.com your face; let everyone know you are hardcore and you love it!” This is how 2014 Darke County Youth Fair Queen Jenna Cline responded to the question “What do you feel are the perfect characteristics that represent Darke County?” To the question “Is it better to fail or be successful?” 2014 Darke County Youth Fair King Thomas Shaw said “Actually, failure is better. It teaches you to get back up, learn from your mistakes and try again… it makes you stronger!” Cline and Shaw took the 2014 honors in a field of 24 candidates. Cline, 17, New Madison, is the daughter of Jeff and Kelly Cline. She attends Tri-Village High School and is representing Darke County Junior Fairboard. Shaw, 18, Greenville, is the son of Greg and Darlene Grubb and Bruce Shaw. The Greenville High School graduate will be attending Wilmington College
in the fall and is representing Grade-A-Kids 4-H Club. First Runners Up King and Queen are Andrew Wright and Morgan McKinney. Wright, 17, is the son of Mark and Melissa Wright of Arcanum. He attends Miami Valley Career Technology Center. McKinney, 17, is the daughter of Bradley and Miranda Harleman of Greenville. She attends Arcanum High School. Second Runners Up are Brad Slyder and Courtney Rose. Slyder, 16, is the son of Jeff and Julie Slyder of Union City, OH. He attends Mississinawa Valley High School.

Manning, 16, is the son of Jason and Heather Manning of Union City, OH. He attends Mississinawa Valley High School. Dirmeyer, 17, is the daughter of David and Melissa Dirmeyer of Fort Recovery.

ed them in “reaching this honor.” Shaw told those who competed this time, as well as in the past, not to give up. He said he’d tried before, had been on the court in the past. He knew what was awaiting them in the coming year. Cline didn’t but commented Shaw would help get her through it. “This is my first time competing,” she said. “Last time I entered… but I forgot my interview!” As votes were being tabulated, 2013 Fair King and Queen Logan Moody and Jenna King, along with the members of their court, talked about their favorite memories following a slide show of their activities during the year.

Koenig breaks ground GREENV I L L E – Koenig Equipment will have a new home RYAN BERRY in GreenManaging Editor ville soon. bluebagmedia.com The land is currently being prepared for construction of their new store at the corner of KitchenAid Way and Children’s Home-Bradford Road with completion set for the end of February 2015. A ceremonial ground breaking was held July 17 with representatives from Koenig Equipment, the general contractor and the city present. Ray Koenig, chief ex-
ecutive officer, said when Koenig Equipment came to Greenville in March 1991 they didn’t want to grow the easy way by buying another company. They wanted to do it the hard way – “We wanted to grow it by earning it.” Twenty-three years later the company is proving their way was a good way. They are continually working to be the preferred choice for equipment, service, and parts. Koenig also said, “We want to be the preferred choice of the community.” The new building will be 20 percent larger than their current facility at the corner of State Route 571
and U.S. Route 36. A lot of thought was put into the design to make it safe and usable. While the service and parts departments will definitely see an upgrade, the showroom will be larger and more functional. It will be an incredible showcase for the products they handle – John Deere, Stihl, and Honda. With the move, Koenig Equipment will now be located inside the city limits. Mayor Michael Bowers welcomed the company into the city. He said, “I’m proud to have Koenig Equipment in Greenville. This is the perfect location, perfect spot and perfect equipment.”
GREENVILLE – Zeek and Zephyr, two border collies who have CLINTON RANDALL been specialStaff Writer ly trained in bluebagmedia.com Canadian Goose control, have been busy at the Greenville City Park. According to Danielle O’Neil, the coowner of the geese management service Stalk and Awe, the birds have returned to the park after some area Fourth of July celebrations. O’Neil and her husband Greg Wagner were hired by the park board last year to help drive down the large geese population out of the area. Since the new growth in numbers, Zeek and Zephyr have been at the park everyday “putting pressure” on the geese to move out once they are ready to fly. “There has not been a single goose nest in Greenville this year,”
Danielle O’Neil with Zeek and Zephyr at the Greenville City Park. (Clinton Randall photo)
O’Neil told The Early Bird. “Having 10-15 geese is what the park wants to keep around, but anything past that becomes problematic.” She said that Zeek and Zephyr will continue to come out each day through September to ensure the recent large
number of birds leave and don’t return. The dogs do not hurt or bite the geese, they simply chase and make the area uncomfortable for the geese to want to stay. To learn more about Stalk and Awe visit their website at stalkandawe. com.
Bud Carpenter took kids Emma, Andrew and Logan, and dad Steve Truster, on a ride in his antique tractor train.
Farm Power attendance up GREENVILLE – “The guy lost his mind building this,” BOB ROBINSON said Noel Associate Editor “Bud” Carbluebagmedia.com penter about his tractor train, built from various antique tractor pieces in 2007. He laughed then talked about some of the units, ranging from a water tank still painted in its original army colors to a small wagon and a twowheeler looking somewhat like a chariot. They all rode on steel wheels, like many of their fullsize ancestors. “No flat tires on these things,” he added. “Want me to take it for a spin?” He called out to some kids and their dad – Steve Truster and children Emma, Andrew and Logan – were happy to oblige, climbing in and riding around as Carpenter did a couple figure eights. It was difficult to tell who was having the most fun, the passengers or the driver. Carpenter’s train was just one of the many displays, events and demonstrations at the 15th annual Greenville Farm Power of the Past July 10-13. According to Rick Brewer, they’ve had good crowds. As of
The old ringer washer was a piece of equipment most visitors had never seen before, especially the young lady holding onto mommy.
Friday evening there were 294 vintage tractors, 207 vintage Lawn & Garden tractors and 274 campers. He added he saw at least another 15 lawn and garden tractors come in that morning. Von Oswalt, president, said they had good crowds but “The First Friday hurt us. Attendance was not what we expected last night… usually that’s when parents bring their kids here. Last night they were downtown.” Friday attendance didn’t hurt too much as tractors were “up,” garden tractors were “way up” and their official estimate was 10-12,000 visitors over the weekend, an increase over the year before.
“Our mission is to keep the methods of the past alive,” Oswalt said. “It’s fun to watch the people come through the tractor area… grandpa had one… dad had one…” He added a lot of people learned to drive on these tractors. He noted the ‘garden boys’ will keep growing down the road, as the families using the old tractors decrease in number. “Over time we’ll keep featuring the ‘oddball’ (antique) tractors,” he added. Just a few of the events included the threshing demonstration, truck and tractor pulls, antique tractor pull, kiddie tractor pull, car show and cruise in and more.

Special event set for the last Monday VERSAILLES – The Versailles Museum is excited about its newest activity held the last Monday of each month at 1 p.m. These gatherings are designed for their more “senior” friends who will enjoy various activities from old pictures to identification, to Village Trivia, to the occasional guest speaker. A great time of fellowship is guaranteed. Do you remember gardening when you were a child? Do you still get excited about the first goodies to pop up (other than weeds) in your garden? Can you hardly wait for those tomatoes to ripen? If so this month’s program is for you!
This month we will be chatting about favorite vacations we’ve taken through the years. Why not bring along a few pictures and stories to share? The afternoon caps off with great desserts and a refreshing punch. What better way to spend your summer afternoon? If you have ideas for programs we want to hear from you! After all it’s all about what YOU want. Watch the local papers or their Facebook page for additional details. The museum will be open from 1-4 p.m. on that Monday for tours, so plan to gather up some friends and join them!
Make sure your kids have vaccines
GREENVILLE – Preparing for school means gathering supplies and back packs. It’s also the perfect time to make sure children are up to date on their vaccines. Getting all of the recommended vaccines is one of the most important things parents can do to protect their child’s health. When children are not vaccinated, they are at increased risk for disease and can spread disease to others in their classroom and community— including babies who are too young to be fully vaccinated. Schools are highly susceptible to outbreaks of infectious diseases because students can easily transmit illnesses to one another as a result of poor hand washing, uncovered coughs and dense populations. Children age 4 to 6 are due for boosters of four vaccines: DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis), Chickenpox, MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), and polio. Starting at age 11 or 12, teens need Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis). Also recommended for this age group is Meningococcal, HPV (human papilloma virus), and Hepatitis A. The college-bound may need Meningococcal vaccine, in addition to any others required by the university. Vaccines are among the safest and most cost-effective ways to prevent disease. Protecting your children from preventable diseases will help keep them healthy and in school. So give all the school nurses a break this August and have paperwork and vaccines completed before school starts this year! The Darke County Health Department has a clinic every Tuesday from 8-10:30 a.m., and 2-5 p.m. Being busy in August with immunizations is a perfect way to end the summer! The office is located at 300 Garst Ave., Greenville. Please call with any questions, 548-4196.
Area museum changes displays VERSAILLES – If you’ve been putting off coming to the Versailles Area Museum to catch the awesome displays on Native Americans in our area, Poultry Days, or antique toys, you’ve waited too long and now they’re gone. But you still have a little time to check out the fabulous DeMange Family’s story of music or the six businesses that have continue in our community for over 100 years. Now making its debut is travel/ vacationing in the 20th Century. From vintage car parts to local garage memorabilia, to antique camping and picnic gear and all those souvenirs that made our memories so sweet. Not to mention those family reunion pictures all help to make a great new display about summer life in the last century. “Dr. on Call” is another new display featuring items on loan from several area Doctors in the last century, giving all a peek at medical care that included house calls! New displays are popping up all the time and with the Versailles All Class Reunion at the end of August, additional school spirited displays will be showing up “On the Street Where You Lived.” If you have items to lend contact the museum at 526-4222 and someone will contact you. To get the new travel display kicked off right they will have several historic cars on their lawn on Sunday, July 27 (weather permitting) during regular museum hours from 1-4.

Barbecue and CPR GREENVILLE – Summertime and the living is easy – and so is learning Citizens CPR to help keep someone alive! This Summer, when planning a family bar-b-que, scheduling a meeting or party, start the event with a short lesson that could save a life. Learn CitizensCPR, the handson only CPR, in just 30 minutes and then kick off the party. What a great way to get together a regular group of friends, your organization, your staff, a Sunday school class, family or your clients. Most people who survive a cardiac emergency were

helped by a bystander. That could be you! There is no written
testing for CitizensCPR. It’s an introductory class, without learning of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation or AED usage. A trained instructor is provided and practice will be given on a special compression tool to insure that each participant is comfortable and skilled in hands-on CPR before the party is complete. . All you need is an open room, a few guests and some food or drink for after the class. Participants are floor taught with accommodations made for those with knee issues. Another class that can be taught in 30 minutes is Disaster Preparedness planning with a Make-ItTake-It Kit. This is a service of the Darke County Red Cross and a fundraiser. Donations for the party help to support the mission of the Red Cross. This party class does not qualify for CPR certification needed for work or school. Contact director Lynne Gump at Lynne. Gump@redcross.org or 548-1002 for questions or to schedule.
