Road crews prepared for possible weekend weather SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – Although weather forecasters have yet to say just how much snow or ice will fall this coming weekend, Darke County road crews are gearing up for the worst-case scenario.

On Wednesday, county workers were readying

trucks, adding V-shaped plows to a couple road graders in order to push snow drifts off the 522 miles of county roads they are responsible for, said Shane Coby, county highway superintendent.

When it comes to keeping the county’s roads safe during the winter months, road crews are tasked with dealing with Darke County’s flat terrain.

County preparing for more female inmates SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – With an increase in female inmates at the Darke County Jail, the county is preparing to do some maintenance designed to separate them from the male population.

On Wednesday, county commissioners approved a quote from Hemm’s Glass of Piqua in the amount of $1,395 to install etched glass in some areas of the jail.

Chief Deputy Mark Whittaker told commissioners the addition of the etched glass was necessary in order for the jail to follow restrictions, which do not allow male and female prisoners to see each other while incarcerated.

“We want to open an area for our growing female population,” Whittaker said. “In order for us to use the wings in that fashion, this work needs to be done.”

When there’s no available space, Darke County does send prisoners to Miami County and Mercer County incarceration facilities. Keeping prisoners incounty would save dollars, mainly with transportation costs.

The actual installation of the etched glass will be provided by county maintenance workers, Whittaker said, which also will save the county money.

There are currently 12 cells in the county’s A wing, 12 in the B wing and five each in wings D and E, Whittaker explained. The goal is to be able to house female inmates all in one

section.

Although etched glass prohibits individuals from seeing each other, it does allow light to come through.

Also on Wednesday, commissioners approved quotes for software for the county’s 9-1-1 Dispatch Center as follows: * $49,408 to PowerPhone in Madison, Conn., for Total Response Call Handling Solutions .This software package will replace cards dispatchers kept on their desks and referred to during calls. The company no longer provides the cards, Whittaker said, and has moved all information to the software package.

Dispatchers will be able to see information pertaining to each specific call come up on their computer screens to assist callers. * $13,330.41 (1st year maintenance included) to Spillman Tech Inc. of Salt Lake City, Utah for Pictometry & Power Phone Interface software, with an estimated 2nd year maintenance fee of $2,418.46.

This software program, Whittaker said, will “marry” with the county’s current topography maps to give 9-1-1 dispatchers the ability to locate specific addresses in order to relay information to first-responders. * Commissioners also approved an agreement between the Darke County Sheriff’s Office and Family Health Services to provide medical services at the county jail. * Approved a 60-month lease with Perry ProTech for $1,114.10 per month to conduct upgrades on six copiers housed at the sheriff’s office.

“The thing with us,” Coby explained, “it isn’t the amount of snow. It’s the wind. For the most part, we are good with any amount of snow. It’s when the wind starts blowing, that it creates havoc.”

For Darke County, the National Weather Service is predicting windy conditions beginning Friday night with a wintry mix, snowy and blustery conditions for Saturday during the day and again overnight, with blustery conditions and frigid temperatures on Sunday.

As of midweek, the exact amount of snowfall hadn’t officially been forecast – since it depends on the track of the system as it moves east. On Wednesday, the storm was dropping a significant amount of rain on the West Coast.

Coby said he’s heard several forecasts as far as wind speeds for the weekend –as much as 40 mph wind gusts.

“But even a 15-20 miles per hour wind, with powdery snow, and it’s another obstacle on Sunday when the temps go down,” he said.

County crews are responsible for maintaining 522 miles of roads, with the county’s 20 townships responsible for 537 miles of roads, which is why, Coby said, drivers can encounter differences in road conditions following a snowfall.

The Ohio Department of Transportation also is responsible for 235 miles of roadway in Darke County.

As for the county maintenance crews, there will be 22 drivers scheduled to work during the upcoming snow event.

“We are making plans if we get it,” Coby said, adding the county has 1,000 tons of salt on hand as well as 2,000 tons of grit.

Greenville Street Department Superintendent Ryan Delk said Wednesday his road crews were going through their equipment to make sure everything was “up and running properly” for upcoming storms.

“We’re also in the process of getting the bin refilled after this last weekend’s snow. By the end of today (Wednesday), we’ll have 800 tons on hand,”

County road crews spent Wednesday preparing equipment for the expected weekend snow event. V-plows will assist in moving blowing and drifting snow. (Gaylen Blosser photo)

Delk said.

The city will have 1012 workers out to clear 90 lane miles within the city limits.

What can city residents do to assist city workers in digging out?

“The biggest thing they can do,” Delk said, “is to just be patient. We’re all fighting the same battle.”

Delk also said moving parked cars off the street would be a big help as well as waiting to clear out your driveways.

“Some people pay someone to come clear out their

drives, then we come along and leave a ridge of snow at the end of their drive.

That’s the biggest frustration for residents,” he said, adding that it is the homeowner’s responsibility to clear out the end of their drive after plows come through.

Delk also encourages residents to stay home if they do not have to venture outside.

“They’ll get out, get stuck and we’ll have to stop what we’re doing to help dig them out,” he explained.

Overdoses decline in 2018 as meth use rises CLINTON RANDALL

CORRESPONDENT crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – After nearly 200 drug overdoses reported in 2017, Darke County saw the numbers decline for 2018.

Though the reduction in OD calls sound encouraging to the community, law enforcement is well aware of the reason…a rise in methamphetamine use.

In 2017, fentanyl-laced heroin was to blame for the surge in overdoses in the county. The Darke County Coroner’s Office recorded 24 drug-related deaths that year alone, but reports that number was cut in half for 2018.

After a major crack down on the deadly combination, methamphetamine “meth” became the drug of choice for many local drug users.

Meth may not result in

overdosing like heroin, but it has many more devastating effects for the user.

Deemed one of the most addictive drugs, meth leaves its user with drastic decline in physical appearance and meth-induced psychosis after just a short time of getting high on the toxic drug.

Aside from its main ingredient, pseudoephedrine (a decongestant found in over-the-counter cold medicine), meth contains several other chemicals that are extremely toxic to the human body. From nail polish remover or paint thinner, lithium (used in batteries), toluene (found in brake fluid), red phosphorus (found on match boxes and road flares), sodium hydroxide (lye), sulfuric acid (a highly corrosive substance found in toilet cleaner) to anhydrous ammonia (used in fertilizer).

Greenville Police Department reported 79 drug-related calls in 2017, but that number rose to 95 last year. With the effects that meth has on its user, officers now find themselves in unpredictable and “bizarre” situations.

According to Chris Clark, narcotics detective with the Darke County Sheriff’s Office, his investigations recently have been turning up an increase in fentanyl being used without the heroin mix. This will most certainly cause another rise in overdoses since fentanyl is much more potent than heroin.

The drug war goes far beyond Darke County. Most of the American drug supply is traced back to Mexico, with the Sinaloa Cartel trafficking the deadly drugs across the US border.

tures,” said Matt Aultman, who was selected as commissioner chair for 2019 on Monday.

Mike Stegall will serve as the 2019 vice-chair.

Timmerman, Aultman said was recently hired for a job at Springfield-Beckley Municipal Airport in Springfield, effective Jan. 30.

Timmerman’s last day with Darke County is Jan. 23, Aultman said.

“It’s a little bit bigger opportunity at Springfield,” Aultman said. “We wish him the best. Seth did a lot of good things while he was here, updating our FAA compliance, starting a Facebook page and helped with growing our Aviation Day.” The Darke County Airport manager’s job posting is now listed on Jobs Ohio and Hometown Opportunity.

Intoxicated woman urinates on kitchen oor, invites herself to dinner TRESPASSING

On Jan. 12 an ofďŹ cer was called to the 500 block of Martin Street on the complaint of criminal trespassing. The ofďŹ cer spoke with the complainant who said the defendant Michele Jewel showed up at her home highly intoxicated and urinated on the kitchen oor.

The complainant said she wanted Jewel to leave. The ofďŹ cer found Jewel in the kitchen of the residence, warming up a plate of food in the microwave. Jewel could hardly stand, had wet clothing and there was a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage. The ofďŹ cer advised Jewel she needed to leave because the homeowners didn’t want her there. Jewel became verbally aggressive and said she was not leaving. She carried her plate of food

to the table and sat down.

The ofďŹ cer advised Jewel she was leaving and told her to get up. Jewel was warned for disorderly conduct, but she still refused to leave. According to the report, the ofďŹ cer grabbed her by the arm in an attempt to stand her up. She immediately became combative with the ofďŹ cer and ipped the kitchen table over. The ofďŹ cer then assisted Jewel to the ground and placed her in handcuffs. Another ofďŹ cer arrived and Greenville Rescue was called to the scene due to the defendant’s intoxication level and hitting her head on the kitchen table. Greenville Township assessed Jewel. She refused to be transported to Wayne Emergency Room.

Greenville dispatch contacted a friend to pick her up at the residence, but

the friend refused because Jewel becomes violent when intoxicated. Jewel’s daughter also was contacted, but said she could not take her because she had a small child at home.

However, the daughter did arrive on scene and agreed to transport her mother to her home. OfďŹ cers escorted Jewel out of the residence and she sat down on the porch to smoke a cigarette. Jewel was told she was not permitted to sit there and smoke. She was transported to the county jail but was denied due to being highly intoxicated.

She was transported to Wayne ER to be evaluated, then was eventually transported back to the jail, where she was cited for disorderly conduct.

DRUGS

On Jan. 7 an ofďŹ cer conducted a trafďŹ c stop in the 200 block of North Broadway. The driver of the vehicle, Kevin Powell had failed to signal when making a turn. While speaking with Powell, the ofďŹ cer noticed a butane torch-style lighter lying on the passenger seat. This type of lighter is known to be popular among methamphetamine users. The ofďŹ cer asked Powell what he used the lighter for, and Powell said he used it to light his cigarettes.

The ofďŹ cer asked Powell if he was the owner of the vehicle and Powell said he was and that he also was the primary driver of the vehicle. The ofďŹ cer asked if there was anything illegal in the vehicle, Powell said there was not to his knowledge and gave permission for the ofďŹ cer to conduct a search. OfďŹ cers found a homemade pipe with white residue on the inside of the glass end. The pipe was located in front of the center console, sitting inside a roll of painter’s tape. OfďŹ cers concluded that Powell has easy access to the pipe while operating the vehicle. OfďŹ cers also located another bubble-style glass pipe on the driver’s side oor mat next to the accelerator.

This style of pipe also is known to be popular with meth users. When asked about the pipes, Powell at ďŹ rst lied to ofďŹ cers be-

fore ďŹ nally admitting the homemade pipe was his and that it did contain meth from the last time he used. He said he had no idea where the bubble-style glass pipe came from. Powell said he had last used meth on the Saturday prior to the trafďŹ c stop. He was asked to perform ďŹ eld sobriety tests, which he passed. Powell was issued a citation for possession of a drug abuse instrument and a turn signal violation, then he was sent on his way. The illegal paraphernalia found at the scene was taken to the Greenville Police De-

GREENVILLE – Judge Jonathan P. Hein sentenced Jason Jones, 33, of Greenville, on Monday to two years in prison for aggravated vehicular homicide.

Jones pleaded guilty in December to the incident, a single-car crash, which occurred in February 2018, and resulted in the death of passenger Terra A. Hodge, 33, also of Greenville.

The accident occurred in the 2800 block of State Route 49 when Jones, who was traveling northbound, went off the left side of the road and struck a culvert.

Students compete in St. Mary’s Geography Bee Tourism grants for local events & festivals

BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Answering questions about the Blue Ridge Mountains to naming the most populous Scandinavian country (Sweden), 10 students at St. Mary’s Catholic School participated in their annual Geography Bee on Thursday.

For the third year in a row, Carson Pope earned top honors.

The eighth-grader said he enjoys keeping up with current events, which helps when it comes to answering the Geography Bee’s verbal and written questions.

Second place went to Lydia Beisner, seventhgrader, with sixth-grader Andrew Winner earning third place.

Beisner said one of her questions included for which state is Columbus the capital city to questions about the Appalachian Mountains and cities in Central America.

A couple of questions Winner answered correctly included the fact that Tokyo

All three students have participated in the Geography Bee prior to this year and say they really don’t put too much effort into studying beyond their normal school work – and being aware of the world they live in.

Pope will now take an online test to qualify to compete at state finals in Columbus.

“The top 100 people in the state get to go to finals,” said Pope, who qualified last

GREENVILLE – Funds are available to non-profit organizations sponsoring special events in Darke County through the Darke County Visitors Bureau in 2019.

Four grants are available for 2018: two $1,000 grants and two $500 grants.

Glover admits guilt in burglary

BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Mariah Glover of Greenville pleaded guilty to complicity to burglary Tuesday in Darke County Common Pleas Court.

Glover, 20, was involved with two male subjects in the January 2017 incident.

According to Darke County Assistant Prosecutor Deborah Quigley, Glover “basically played the role of taking the victim away from their residence so the two other people could burglarize” the home.

Quigley went on to explain how Glover’s actions “went downhill fast” when one of the male subjects involved in the burglary was

released from prison last year.

Glover also has done time for drug abuse and is currently on community control sanctions.

She has been incarcerated in the Darke County Jail since early December.

Quigley said she believed Glover needed a “long-term program” in order to learn how to “focus on learning how to stand on her own” and put distance between herself and the male defendant.

Quigley suggested Glover be sent to the MonDay treatment program.

Glover’s attorney Alex Pendl reminded Judge Jonathan P. Hein that his client “was not the leader in this case” and that she was deal-

ing with her drug problem “at that time and since.”

Pendl said Glover had been successful in working with the Recovery & Wellness program while incarcerated.

Pendl advised he believed the Women’s Recovery program would be beneficial to Glover and that if she failed there, the court would have the MonDay program to fall back on.

Hein counseled Glover to learn how to live her life without the influence of others, namely the male involved in the burglary.

Hein suggested Glover compare the male friend to “a can of Drano.”

Glover told Hein she has had a relationship with the individual since she was 16

and she believed she was more “addicted to him” than drugs.

“I’ve let people influence me. I have issues with addiction. I did fall off the wagon,” Glover said, admitting to “co-dependency” issues with the male defendant.

She also said she was the only one of the three defendants in the burglary who had sent the victim a letter of apology. “I’m the only one who has shown remorse.”

Hein ordered Glover serve up to 60 months community control sanctions and enter an in-house treatment program. He opted for the Women’s Recovery Center, also acknowledging the MonDay program would be ordered if she fails treatment.

Several appear for grand jury indictments GREENVILLE – Darke County Common Pleas Court held grand jury arraignments on Monday. The following appeared before Judge Jonathan P. Hein: * Dustin Westfall, 30, of Union City, Ohio, has been charged with one count of possession of drugs.

Wentz will appear for a status conference Feb. 11. * Tre Waen Heard, 38, of Huber Heights, has been

He was released on his own recognizance and has a status conference set for Feb. 18. * Morgan Napier, 23, of Sidney, has been indicted on one count of aggravated burglary, one count of escape and one count of domestic violence. Napier was released on her own recognizance and will appear for a pre-trial hearing on Feb. 11. * Megan Cox (alias Megan Heard), 25, of Dayton has been charged with one

Let’s pray for a mild winter

Maybe I’m premature in creating such a headline, but this is being written two days before weather prediction is supposed to take place and I can’t update it yet until and/ or if it happens.

Of course, I’m hoping it doesn’t get horribly bad, weather-wise, because there are people who have to get out in it to do their jobs.

And, I’m still wise enough to know that we can’t do anything about it. That’s just Mother Nature.

Yet, the older I get, the more leery I am of traveling during inclement weather.

Been there, done that.

I’ve driven through white-outs, ice storms, fog and some torrential rain, but they don’t even compare to what a nice, sunny day brings to travelers.

As I age, I now worry about my son and, with his health issues, should I stay home or go? I don’t want to see either of us falling and breaking a body part nor do I really want to leave him alone too much because, in some cases, he needs medical attention that I can’t always provide.

Oh well, it is what it is, and I told Jamie that. With God, we will be safe.

The snow is beautiful; however, it’s the amount and the other weather hazards that come with it that puts a damper on my wintry spirits.

So, travelers out there, no matter what, drive carefully. ***** Please pray for these people: Kelly Van De Grift,

Raymond Macias, Marilyn Shellabarger, Tom Brumbaugh, Danny Brown, Neal Gray, Gary Thompson, Terri Hunt, Ruth Deal, Jack Hale, Jessi Klosterman, Marilyn Peterson, Dakota Miller, Jack Good, Mary Faller, Gruff Billenstein, Mary Ullery, Larry Badger, Wayne Neal, Bill Schellenbarg, Martha Higgins, Scott Clark, Duke Temple, Paulette (Swab) Shields, Neil Isch, Larry Hummel, Phyllis Turner, Kerry Young, Dale Clark, Judi Peters, Linda Birt Schaffer, Herbert Bayman, Adam Ullery, Vicky Henderson, Don Hittle, Emily Moody, Roger McEowen, Becky Garrett-Ross, Darcy Buckingham, Roger Tingley, Ron Kaffenberger, Crew Neaves, Jackson Stout, Katie Rehmert, Alayna Marie Brantley, Sherri Gibbons Feitshans, Irma Stewart, Chuck Davis, Dawn Oldiges, Don Booker, Tracy Pratt, Brenda “Bill� Riffell, Jim Marker, Mike Grillot, Mason Osterloh, Kyndal Wynk, Ron Kreitzer, Stacy Dorko, Keith Starks, Kohen Thwaits, Jerrod Pratt, Al Bliss, Layna Best, Wanda and Joe Bailey, Shelly Hoffman, Pappy Harshman, Bob Hiestand Jr., Rodney Hiestand, Tina Kiser Deaton, Kody Ketring, Lois Hittle, Kevin Hemmerich, Samantha Smith, Tim Heck and Ron Kramer. ***** Jamie and I send our condolences to the families of: Rose Mary (Koenig) Grevenkamp, Jim Sauer, Naoma House, Mary Brandenburg, Greg Paul, Martha Jane Snyder, John A. Smith, Judy Simmons Staver, Logan Bergman, Eugene “Gene� Deaton, Tommy Kaugher and Dave Culbertson.

L a s t month, a Texas judge h a n d e d down a despicable decision that SHERROD threatens BROWN the health U.S. SENATOR coverage of 20 million people and undermines pre-existing condition protections for all Americans.

The judge ruled to strike down the entire health care law based on a faulty, partisan reading of the law.

But the only reason the attorneys general were even able to ďŹ le this lawsuit is because of a provision slipped into the President’s tax law last winter, paving the way for this last-ditch attempt to kill health care reform.

The Affordable Care Act is still the law of the land, and no one’s health insurance changes right now.

But we must be clear what’s at stake: if this ruling stands, tax credits to help you afford health insurance would be gone.

Protections for the more than 130 million Americans with preexisting conditions would be gone.

The ability to stay on your parents’ insurance until you’re 26 would be gone.

Ohio’s entire Medicaid expansion would be gone.

Limits on how much you

pay out-of-pocket each year would be gone.

More affordable prescription drugs for seniors through closing the donut hole would be gone.

Requirements for insurance companies to cover essential services like hospital visits would be gone.

And the list goes on.

But all of these attempts to take away these protections have failed before, because Americans fought back, and shared their stories. And we’ll ďŹ ght back again.

I want to encourage all Ohioans – keep making your voices heard.

Keep sharing your stories about how the ban on preexisting condition discrimination allowed your child with asthma to get coverage. About how being able to shop for insurance on the exchanges allowed you to ďŹ nd a cheaper plan.

About how the Medicaid expansion has allowed you to get health coverage for the ďŹ rst time in your life.

Those stories remind policymakers what is at stake, and it’s those stories we need to hear again. I will never stop ďŹ ghting to protect Ohioans’ health care, because we cannot go back to the days when insurance companies could deny coverage to the ďŹ ve million Ohioans under age 65 with a preexisting condition.

Three-mile move equals 400-mile trip for our mail KEITH FOUTZ

On Monday, Nov. 5, we were open for business at our new location of 100 Washington Ave. in downtown Greenville.

It’s been a while coming, a little over six years, but technically much longer than that. We put together a business plan long before we entered into negotiations with the former owner and part of that plan was to always be in downtown Greenville. We’ve ďŹ nally arrived. Unfortunately, our mail hasn’t. At least not consistently.

Despite putting in a change of address approximately one month before we moved, we’re still skeptical all of our mail has arrived.

It’s been laughable at times but also just sad.

Early on, when no mail was arriving the ďŹ rst week or so after moving, I made

the mistake (I call it a mistake as I’m sure I had smoke coming from my ears when I heard the answer) of asking the question, “why would it take 5-10 business days when we put in the forwarding address change a month in advance and our move stayed within the same zip code?�

Here is what was shared.

The mail gets sent to a forwarding center, which is located in ....wait for it...

Michigan, forever known as that state up north. It used to be Dayton but now it’s that state up north. I’m sure with someone, somewhere this decision has some logic to it but really, Greenville, Ohio mail gets forwarded to that state up north prior to its return?

So mail sent from 45331 to 45331 has to travel up north before making its return.

Then, as the gentleman continued, after our new address is put into the system, again in that

Questioning the Fair Board Does The Great Darke County Fair have a corruption problem? Is it laziness; or, a lack of understanding on how simple business is conducted when it comes to law, ethics and following standard protocol to one’s own set rules?

It’s odd to sweep in with a congratulatory effort to receiving a $500,000 donation for the swine barn, when nothing has been reported on the forensics to why the ďŹ re started in the ďŹ rst place. If it were combustibles that started the ďŹ re; why advertise that the remaining buildings are open for storage rental? What is being done to avoid another ďŹ re to occur? Checking locks on the doors, as fair board president Dean Neff gave statement, isn’t viable ďŹ re prevention.

It’s reported that not all members were present to vote acceptance of the Cargill donation; and, the meeting was held against Ohio’s Sunshine Law; making it “illegal.� It’s also reported that board members were denied the opportunity to consider The Agricultural Society’s legal counsel advising the board to read through the terms and conditions before ac-

cepting the proposal to donation.

Law was also ignored by superintendent Brian Rismiller when it came to the issue in the ďŹ ne arts building requiring an exhibitor to provide a notarized and signed document for a rejected entry that was juried out of the art show. Rismiller didn’t give a heartbeat’s consideration to law. And, Dean Neff was asked to review safety issues regarding the 2018 art exhibit; The Darke County Sheriff’s Department surveillance to ash mobs and incite to violence; along with the two-feet of fecal water surrounding the Fine Arts building and food concession---Neff denied that any safety issues occurred, saying: “view to state law was just a matter of opinion.â€? Lime stone being the solution to the long-term problem.

I will give our local post ofďŹ ce credit for ďŹ nding those in that defunct box and eventually delivering to us but as they say on ESPN,â€? C’mon man, really?

From forwarding mail to that state up north before returning it back to Ohio is bad enough. Then delivering our mail to an unused post ofďŹ ce box from the former business resident truly shows a level of incompetence only seen in government run ofďŹ ces.

So be forewarned...if you move take note of our experiences. Set your date a minimum of two-three weeks prior to when you expect it to be there.

Brown has new ofďŹ ce WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) recently announced the new location for his Washington, DC ofďŹ ce. The Senator’s ofďŹ ce remains in the Hart Senate OfďŹ ce Building, but has moved from room 713 to room 503. Ohioans who visit Washington, D.C. are always welcome to stop in to Senator Brown’s ofďŹ ce.

Brown’s new ofďŹ ce is the former ofďŹ ce of the late Senator John Glenn.

Colonel John Herschel Glenn Jr. was a United States Marine Corps aviator, engineer, astronaut, and businessman. He was the ďŹ rst American to orbit the Earth, circling it three times in 1962. After retiring from NASA, Glenn served as a Democratic Senator

from the state Ohio from 1974 to 1999. Brown has long admired the former Senator, and eulogized Glenn after his passing in December 2016. “Senator John Glenn was a great Ohioan, an American hero, and a friend and mentor to me. John knew from personal experience, as he once wrote, that, ‘government can change people’s lives for the better.’ That’s the work we strive to do every day, and I’m honored to continue it in the ofďŹ ce John Glenn once held,â€? said Brown. “I look forward to working hard to give Ohioans a fair shake every day from this new ofďŹ ce, which includes the Annie Glenn conference room, named after his beloved wife.â€?

Versailles’ Custenborder signs to play volleyball for Heidelberg University GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

VERSAILLES – Versailles senior Kelsey Custenborder signed to play volleyball for Heidelberg University, a decision that came easy after a visit to the campus.

“It was after I visited, it was an easy decision just because I knew right away that that’s where I wanted to be,” said Custenborder. “I just knew when I stepped on campus it felt like home.”

A starter on the Versailles Lady Tigers basketball team, Custenborder had thoughts of playing basketball at the college level before setting her sights on volleyball.

“I always thought it was going to be basketball and more towards this summer I started falling more in love with volleyball,” noted Custenborder.

Custenborder was a member of back-to-back Versailles Lady Tigers State Championship volleyball teams her junior and senior years.

“You saw the type of season we had,” said Versailles volleyball coach Kenzie Bruggeman. “A lot of that wouldn’t have happened without her. I’m just thankful that I could be a part of it and now I am even more excited that she gets to play at the next level.”

“Just a hard worker,” continued Bruggeman. “I can’t wait for her to go and

see what she can accomplish.”

“I was her JV coach when she was a freshman.

It took her a little bit to get comfortable and when she got comfortable and realized her talents and what type of energy she brought just with her attitude and energy in general, she was fun to watch.”

“She got on varsity her sophomore year as our tournament team and then her junior and senior year she was on with us full board,” Bruggeman added.

“Just was a sponge the entire time learning how she could get better, what was best for the team and then this year she was able to take over and ran a five-one for us.”

The Lady Tigers senior continues a family tradition as both her parents, Pat and Kim Custenborder were NCAA Division III athletes as well.

Custenborder plans to study business administration with a focus in insurance and marketing while continuing to play the sport she has grown to love.

Custenborder and Coach Bruggeman took time to reflect on the 2017 and 2018 State Championships.

“They always asked about it,” Custenborder said of the recruiting process.

“People know Versailles.

Whenever you say you’re from Versailles – that was just something fun to just be able to tell them, yes, I was part of two state cham-

pionship teams.”

“It gives an example to a lot of the younger girls that think there is no way that I’m going to be able to reach this,” said Coach Bruggeman. “There are a lot of opportunities for a lot of the

girls and I try to be as much of a help to that as possible.

There was probably some recognition with the state (championships) but Kelsey worked her tail off to get her name out there.”

GHS JV defeats Milton-Union Lady Bulldogs Second half boosts

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com GREENVILLE – The Greenville Lady Wave JV team defeated the visiting Milton-Union Bulldogs 20-9 in two quarters of play.

“I told the kids in the locker room before the game they had to come out on top,” said GHS JV coach Laura Swigart. “We can’t play to the level of our competition.

There is no coming back in here and talking about it and fixing it – you have to do it and you have to do it now.

They came out and played good defense.”

With the Milton-Union numbers down for the 20182019 season, the Lady Bulldogs were unable to play a full junior varsity game, needing the JV squad to help fill the varsity roster.

The Lady Wave took a 16-4 lead after one period of play with Abbie Yoder hitting three baskets good for 6-points, four points each from Taylor Yates and Laikyn Bruner and bucket from Lilly Hayes.

Period No. 2 had the visitors putting 5-points on the board Greenville was getting a basket each from Emalee Bowling and Libby McKinney giving the Lady Wave a double digit 11-point win.

“Eleven kids got in the game and quite a few of them scored,” Swigart noted. “We had very good ball

“We hit a turning point and the girls are really excited for what the second half of the season brings for us,” added Coach Swigart. “I’m

GREENVILLE – Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) varsity baseball umpire Dave Henry, a Darke County resident will be instructing an OHSAA baseball umpiring class beginning January 22, 2019 in Greenville.

The Darke County Umpires Association is sponsoring the four week OHSAA Baseball Officials Class.

Classes will be held each Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m.

With the shortage of high school officials for all sports, Henry hopes to have a large turnout for the four week

course.

“It’s easy,” noted Henry.

“There is a test to take at the end for the certification – not much else to it.”

The cost of the course is $125.00.

“Attend the classes and we’ll get you the basics for umpiring,” said Henry. “By the end of the classes you will be licensed to officiate in the high school, anything but varsity to start.”

“You can be as young as 14 to take the class,” added Henry. “Until you are 18, you can’t do anything above the freshman level.”

“You will learn how to apply the rules, you will learn the mechanics of the game, where to be, when

to be there, how to be there and how to call the game,” added Henry.

Umpiring is an avenue to earning extra money while staying involved in the game of baseball.

“The spring, summer and fall baseball programs throughout Darke County use a lot of the guys and gals,” Henry said. “That’s the way you can make some money but it’s also a way you can develop your umpiring skills. It’s a very good way to make a lot of money in the summer.”

To signup up for the umpiring class or for information; call Dave Henry at 937-417-5731.

Greenville Lady Wave scores big win over Xenia Lady Buccaneers GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

XENIA – The Greenville Lady Wave took all four quarters of play earning a 54-29 Wednesday night road win over the Xenia Lady Buccaneers.

“A solid team win,” said Greenville coach Rachel Kerns. “Considering all the adversity we are continuing to face…we will take a win no matter how we get it.”

The Lady Wave outscored Xenia 16-3 in the opening period of play and upped its lead to 3413 at the break outscoring the home team 18-10 in the second quarter.

Period No. 3 had the Greenville varsity girls putting 11-points on the board while holding the Lady Buccaneers to 9-points sending the teams to the final period of play with the Lady Wave in command 4522.

Greenville was two better in the final period outscoring Xenia 9-7 to close out the night with a solid 54-29 GWOC win.

“Consistent scoring throughout each of the four quarters,” noted Kerns. “The entire roster that were able to play saw action.”

Greenville was an impressive 20-26 at the free throw line good

for 77 percent shooting while knocking down six 3-pointers on the night.

The Lady Wave had two players in double figures, one with 8-points and two players with 6-points each.

Annie Hayes and Koryann Elliott both were a perfect 4-4 at the line while Morgan Gilbert was 3-4 beyond the arc.

“Always nice to have a nice balanced scoring column,” concluded Coach Kerns. “Now we prepare for Stivers.”

Versailles drops non-conference game to Lima Central Catholic

Green Wave falls to Xenia

BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENIVLLE – Xenia High School standout Samari Curtis, the GWOC’s leading scorer with a 32.5 per game average and University of Cincinnati Bearcats signee led the Buccaneers to a 94-66 Thursday night win over the Green Wave.

“The final score doesn’t look like it,” Greenville coach Kyle Joseph said of his team’s aggressive play, “but that half-court defense that we played tonight against the leading scorer, a guy averaging 32, which he got that tonight, but he got that off turnovers and transition.”

Greenville’s Jordan Dill got the Wave on the board scoring in the paint to give the home team a 2-0 lead with 6:51 showing on the first quarter clock before Curtis would score to lead Xenia with 9-points to give the visitors a 19-9 lead after one period of play.

“We did a heck of a job guarding him (Curtis) in the half-court and the team in general,” Joseph said.

“That is one of the highest scoring teams in our league – one of the best half-court teams. We just have to continue to get better at taking care of the ball and then you’re right in a game like that.”

The Wave battle strong in second quarter play led by Noah Walker’s five points including a 3-pointer, Tyler Beyke and Nolan Curtis each with four points and a basket each from Dill and Foster Cole for a team total 17-points, but it was the Buccaneers’ Curtis leading Xenia to a 24-point quarter with nine points sending the teams to the break with the visitors holding a 43-26 advantage.

Quarter No. 3 had Greenville adding 19-points to the book with Walker drilling two 3-pointers to lead the Wave. Xenia got 15-points from Curtis to lead the Buccaneers to a 39-point third to push the team’s lead to 82-45 with one period to play.

Greenville took the final period of play 21-12 led by Walker’s 11-points including a trey and 6-7 at the line while Xenia coach Kent Anderson rested 6’4” senior Samari Curtis.

“We talked in the fourth quarter – we want to make sure we go out and finish off the right way,” Coach Joseph noted of the Wave’s fourth quarter play with the bench getting plying time on the court. “We’re down in the stance, we’re talking.

We did a pretty good job of that even as we subbed in different guys.”

“They get after it every day in practice,” Joseph

concluded. “They keep chipping away.”

Samari Curtis led Xenia and all scorers with a game high 33-points. Noah Walker led the Wave with 24-points including four 3-pointers.”

VERSAILLES – The Versailles Tigers dropped a 69-56 Tuesday night non-conference matchup to the Lima Central Catholic Thunderbirds.

“I like our kids heart,” said Versailles coach Travis Swank following the game. “I never take that away from them. They’ve played hard all year long but tonight we just didn’t have our juice. They had more juice than what we did so that’s a credit to LCC.” LCC jumped out to a 13-3 lead at 4:47 in the first before Versailles would battle back to trail 20-16 after one period of play with Michael Stammen leading the Tigers with 8-points in the opening quarter.

Versailles outplayed the Central Catholic 16-6 in period No. 2 sending the teams to the break with the Tigers owning a 32-26 advantage with Stammen hitting double digits to lead the home team with 10 second quarter points.

“They came out and jumped us with their full court,” Swank noted. “We handled it pretty good in the first half.”

Period No. 3 had the Thunderbirds rolling to a 52-42 lead outscoring the home team 26-10 to equal their first half output in eight minutes of play.

Versailles made it a 4-point game, 54-50 at 5:08 in the fourth only to have LCC close out the game on a 15-6 run to win the game by a 14 point margin.

“The second half we just turned the ball over way too much and our defense really isn’t that bad,” said Swank. “I know they scored a lot of points here tonight. Most of those were off of our turnovers and easy transition. I bet they had at least 40 some odd points just off fast break points

– we have to clean that up. Can’t turn the ball over in key situations.”

“I thought Evan Hiestand in the second half really had a good spurt for us there in crunch time,” said Swank. “We got it down to four and then we had a silly mistake, a turnover here, we can’t get a stop down there and really we got out-hustled for the second time all year. Tonight we were out-hustled.”

“A lot of things were going our way there in the first half,” added Swank. “We went to the free throw line a lot and for whatever reason we didn’t get to free throw line very much in the second half what-so-ever.”

Greenville native Rieman announces bid for city law director SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville native and attorney Michael A. Rieman is seeking the office of Greenville city law director.

Earlier this month, Darke County Assistant Prosecutor Jesse Green announced his bid for the position being vacated by Eric Brand.

Candidates have until Feb. 6 to file to run for election.

A director/partner since November with the Dungan & LeFevre law practice in Troy, Rieman said he understands the role of city law director and would be honored to serve his hometown.

“The big thing for me is that my wife and I plan to raise our family in this town. We want Greenville to continue to move into a positive direction,” he said.

Rieman and his wife Amanda, a second grade teacher at Greenville Elementary, are parents of two – Cooper, 41/2 and Lila, 2 1/2 with a third child expected in February.

Rieman believes the position of city law director would offer him the opportunity to provide continuing education for the city’s police force concerning cases prosecuted on behalf of the city.

Maintaining a positive working relationship with the police department would be a top priority, Rieman explained.

Rieman also said he’s not looking at the position of city law director as a full time job, but would be available.

“I would always be available to the city. I would attend meetings in person and would be where I’m needed,” he said.

Rieman said he would maintain an office in the

city building, but he did not see the need “to sit and wait for issues” to arise.

Rieman has been involved in Darke County politics as a past chairman of the local Republican Party, but took a short break when he and his wife started their family.

A Greenville High School graduate, Rieman earned a bachelor of science degree in business administration from The Ohio State University in 2008, and his juris doctor in 2011 from the University of Notre Dame Law School, where he was vice president of the Business Law Forum from 20092010.

He began his career as an associate attorney with Marchal & Marchal Ltd. in Greenville from 2011-

2015, then worked in the Darke County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney’s office from February to November 2015, during which time he also ran his own law firm, Rieman Law, Ltd. He then joined the Dayton law firm of Bieser, Greer & Landis, LLP in Dayton, where as an associate attorney his work focused on litigating cases regarding the healthcare industry and other business professionals from 2015-2018.

In November, Rieman joined Dungan & LeFevre, with offices in Troy and Piqua, and represents clients in civil and criminal lawsuits in both state and federal court.

Rieman remains active with several local organizations, including serving as president of the board of Family Health of

GREENVILLE – Safety Service Director Curt Garrison informed Greenville City Council at its Tuesday meeting that several residents outside the city were surprised to receive a letter from the City of Greenville offering sewer services. At the request of the Darke County Health Department, council held discussions and approved a committee report and subsequent legislation to sell city services to the residents outside the city limits.

Garrison said, “It was my understanding when the health department made the submittal to council that the health department was in conversation with these particular property owners and let them know that each property had an issue with their particular septic system.”

According to Garrison, the property owners had not been notified by the health department that there was an issue and were caught off-guard by the city’s let-

ter.

“It is not up to the city to determine if a person needs to be connected,” said Garrison. “The city was merely offering the property owner a solution to their problem. If the property owner would choose the city as a solution, so be it. We have outlined the conditions necessary. If they chose to go a different route, then again, so be it. That is between the property owner and the health department.”

He encouraged council members to have property owners that received a letter to address their questions to the Darke County Health Department.

After nearly 1 1/2 years of discussion, downtown businesses received unanimous approval from council to install pedestrian signs on their downtown businesses. Julie Strait, owner of The Bread of Life Christian Bookstore, encouraged council to approve the amendment to the sign ordinance during the public hearing portion of the meeting. She said she was excited about the opportunity and pointed

out how attractive and appealing the signs are in other communities.

Council originally voted against a request from Main Street Greenville and the downtown businesses for the pedestrian signs in August 2017.

The local business owners believe the signs will help pedestrians better identify businesses as they walk through the downtown district.

Garrison floated the idea of adding a new crew leader to the street department whose primary function would be providing maintenance at the city’s parks. Garrison admitted there are times when the maintenance at the park is not the street department’s priority and believes the addition of a full-time crew leader would help keep the parks maintained at the community’s standards. Part-time employees would also be hired to help with maintenance.

Council would need to approve legislation to change the strength ordinance.

Dale Musser, park board president, said, “It’s a very good idea. It’s good

for the city. It’s good for the parks.” He praised Deb Fall, park superintendent, and her volunteers for doing a lot of the work in the park now, but they are not mechanically minded and cannot fix equipment.

With fewer volunteers to draw from and with the workload of the street department in the other areas of the city, there were some things in the park that did not get done. He believes adding a crew leader dedicated to the parks will help solve some of the issues they’ve had in the past. Musser was quick to point out Ryan Delk, street superintendent, has been good to work with and has been very accommodating.

At its next meeting, council will have the opportunity to approve legislation to allow the safety service director to put the South Ohio Street project out for bid. The city’s administration is hoping to widen the road by fourfeet from Martin to Sater and add bicycle lanes on both sides of the road. The estimated cost for the project is $561,371.

coming soon will be dip powder nails for interested customers.

“We have new pedicure chairs and we newly remodeled two rooms for nails,” Wright said.

“Be sure to ask about our monthly specials and tanning/nails coupon cards during your visit.”

Hansford, sister Jocelynn and mother Janice are also tanning specialists at Nancy’s, which is open Monday through Saturday.

Nancy’s has been in business in Arcanum for 50 years. The phone number is 692-8401.

GREENVILLE – Last August, Greenville High School senior Ashley Jolley applied online for a scholarship with the Coca Cola Scholars Foundation.

“I didn’t think I would make it,” Jolley, who admits a “love” for Coke, said this week.

In November, Jolley said she received an email informing her she had been selected as a semifinalist – out of 95,715 applicants from across the United States. She finds out in February if she’s been selected as one of 150 recipients of a $20,000 Coca Cola scholarship.

Recipients will be invited to Atlanta, Ga., the headquarters of the Coca Cola company, to accept their scholarships.

Jolley, the daughter of Karen Zumbrun and Darin Jolley, is currently enrolled in the Greenville Career Tech’s Med Tech program and hopes to study nursing following high school graduation.

As a semi-finalist, Jolley, 18, was required to write several essays and get reference letters from her guidance counselor and teachers.

One of the essay question prompts required Jolley to write about her experience with community service.

Jolley jumped at the chance to share how much she enjoys volunteering with the Wayne HealthCare Candy Striper Program.

“I feel like it will prepare me for my future career,” she said, adding how she’s applied to the nursing program at the University of Cincinnati. “I really love

talking with the patients and how happy it makes me.”

Jolley also volunteers with Edison’s Empowering Youth Program as a tutor and is active with several service projects hosted by Greenville High School’s

Key Club.

Jolley’s high school activities include cheerleading all four years and she serves as vice-president for GHS Student Council and vice-president of the National Technical Honor Society. She’s president of the school’s science club and is a member of the National Honor Society.

Jolley found out about the Coca Cola scholarship opportunity while she was browsing the website Niche.com, which allows individuals to research information about neighborhoods, businesses, schools and colleges, and scholarship opportunities.

Jolley said she’s applied for several other scholarships to assist with paying for her college expenses and has been named a finalist in the national Elks Most Valuable Student competition.

GREENVILLE – The New Year is not only promising new beginnings for PERI members but also new leadership as Anne Vehre, president, and Ruth Dailey, vice president, step down after four years of service. Taking their place are Becky Garrison, who was the Chief Probation Officer of the Adult Probation Department of the Darke County Common Pleas Court, and Linda Wood, who was the Clerk

of the Brown Township Trustees in Ansonia, prior to their retirement. They are already planning new events and seeking new speakers for what promises to be an informative and exciting beginning for them and for PERI members.

While some organizations are experiencing shrinking membership and poor attendance, PERI has continued to grow.

Anyone who has retired

after working for an organization that is affiliated with Ohio Public Employees (OPERS) is welcome to attend and is eligible to join our own local chapter of PERI. As a result, Becky Garrison, Linda Wood, and all of our local members of PERI invite any one eligible to attend their next luncheon meeting which takes place at 11:30 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 4 at the VFW on Ohio Street, Greenville. Anyone

who has retired or is about to retire with an Ohio Public Employees (OPERS) pension is welcome to attend. Reservations for the luncheon meeting must be in to Vivian Nieport, Attendance and Contact Chairman, by calling (937) 548-3961 on or

by Tuesday, Jan. 29. The luncheon is $9 per person, payable at the door. If you do not wish to have lunch, you are welcome to attend as well at no cost to you.

GREENVILLE – Darke County Center for the Arts will present Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia’s production of The Rainbow Fish at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville on Sunday, Feb. 10 at 2 p.m. “This classic children’s book about the beautiful fish who learned that by sharing his most prized possession he could earn friends and gain happiness won international acclaim when it was published in 1992, and has only grown in popularity ever since,” stated DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins. “Even the youngest children will be enchanted by this delightful show, which will also charm their parents and grandparents.”.

An original stage adaptation of the colorful tale

by Marcus Pfister as well as two of the author’s companion pieces, Mermaid Theatre’s production utilizes innovative puppetry, striking scenic effects, and evocative original music to retell the beloved stories of the initial award-winning book as well as Rainbow Fish Discovers the Deep Sea, revealing further deep

sea adventures of the sparkling fish of the title, and Opposites, a work cleverly introducing concepts such as up and down, in and out, and the most satisfying opposite of all, give and take.

Mermaid Theatre is known for its commitment to producing good theatre that is entertaining, informative and stimulating to all the senses while encouraging literacy and generating enthusiasm for the art of reading.

This performance is made possible in part by state tax dollars allocated by the Ohio Legislature to the Ohio Arts Council, a state agency that funds and supports quality arts experience to strengthen Ohio communities culturally, educationally, and economically. DCCA also receives operating support from the Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial as well as funding from the Ketrow Foundation, Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund, and the John R. and Miriam H. Knick Fund of Darke County Foundation.

Tickets for The Rainbow Fish cost just $5, and may be obtained by contacting

Hepatitis outbreak prompts free clinic

Greenville offers help with tax returns

GREENVILLE – The Darke County Health Department will be holding a Hepatitis A Vaccine Clinic on Thursday, Feb. 7, (while supplies last) at no cost to you. The clinic will be held at the health department from 3-6:30 p.m. If you have insurance, please bring your insurance card. However, if you are uninsured, there will not be a charge for the vaccine.

Hepatitis A is a highly contagious liver disease that can be spread without knowing it. It is spread from person to person through contact with the feces of people who are infected. This can easily happen if someone does not wash their hands properly. Hepatitis A virus can be found on doorknobs, grocery carts, diapers and even food.

Hepatitis A vaccines were recommended starting in 1996 in the United States.

Since then, the number of cases reported each year in the United States has dropped from 31,000 cases to fewer than 1,500 cases.

However, due to an outbreak, in 2018 nearly 1,500 cases were reported in Ohio alone. They have also had four deaths during this outbreak. Darke County had 17 cases of Hepatitis A in 2018.

To put that into perspective, Darke County had zero cases in 2015, one case in 2016 and one case in 2017.

It is recommended all children get the first dose of vaccine between 12- and 23months. The second dose is needed six months later.

However, it is never too late to get vaccinated. Children under 6-years-old with Hepatitis A usually don’t have

symptoms. Therefore, they pass the disease to others without knowing they were infected. Vaccination, along with proper and frequent hand washing, are critical to prevent Hepatitis A. Symptoms of Hepatitis A include fatigue, decreased appetite, stomach pain, nausea, light-colored stools and yellowing of the skin and eyes. Most people who get Hepatitis A feel sick a couple of months, but they typically recover with no lasting liver damage. However, Hepatitis A can cause liver failure and death. This is rare and occurs more commonly in people over 50 years old and people with underlying liver diseases.

Appointments are encouraged for the Hepatitis A vaccine clinic. For an appointment call 937-5484196 x224. Walk-ins are also welcome.
