Babies born addicted on the rise in Darke County SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – According to Wayne HealthCare Obstetrics Educator Lori Gessaman, babies being born addicted to opiods “is a growing problem in Darke County.” Information provided by Wayne HealthCare proves the number of babies born with an opiate addiction has signiﬁcantly increased over the past two years. In 2015, the Greenville hospital reported two babies born with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS), which occurs after a mother has used illicit drugs during pregnancy, or is on a treatment program because of a history of illicit drug use. In 2016, that number increased to 14, says Regina Duff, BSN RN, Director of Obstetrics at Wayne HealthCare. Babies born addicted also is a growing problem in the region. According to a press release from Reid Hospital in Richmond, Ind., 54 babies were born

dependent to heroin or another opioid in 2015. That number grew to 58 in 2016. On its website, the Ohio Department of Health’s latest statistics reports that between 2004 and 2014, 9,498 hospitalizations resulted from NAS. In 2014 alone, there were 1,875 admissions, which equates to more than ﬁve admissions per day. Across the state, the rate of NAS grew nearly 10 times from 14 per 10,000 live births in 2004 to 134 per 10,000 live births in 2014. Due to the increasing problem, local hospitals and healthcare workers are seeking ways to provide the best and most effective treatment for babies and mothers. At Reid Health, Baby Rocker volunteers are trained to make the ﬁrst days of an addicted baby’s life a little better. “These infants need to be cuddled by their caregivers and to feel human touch; you can never underestimate the power of touch for these infants,” said Stephanie Field, clinical manager of Women

Fourteen babies were born addicted to opiates during 2016 in Darke County.

and Children’s Services at Reid Health. Caregivers in Darke County also have received additional training to provide needed care for NAS babies. “Due to the huge increase in incidence in this area,” Gessaman said, “the Wayne HealthCare Special Beginnings nurses have gone through training that guides safety in nursing practice while treating these newborns without the use of medication.” According to Gessaman, research has shown using non-pharmacologic interventions – treating without the use of medications – can safely help

to decrease symptoms of withdrawal in a large percentage of newborns experiencing NAS symptoms. “At Special Beginnings, we are striving to treat these babies with the most up-to-date techniques, utilizing evidence-based practice, and keep these newborns with their mothers as long as possible,” Gessaman explained. Once an addicted baby is born, tests are run, giving a score to determine if they are candidates for non- pharmacology treatments, Duff explained. “Babies with a high score are transported to Children’s Medical Center in Dayton,” Duff said,

while babies who can be treated without drugs are kept at Wayne, to be with their mothers for a longer period of time. “It used to be we would ship babies right away if they were exposed” to drugs, Duff said. “Our goal now is to keep mom with baby as long as we can. Most (moms) want to make the change and turn their life around.” Duff said Wayne HealthCare is not only seeing heroin addicted babies, but also some addicted to meth. Due to the increase in opioid births, the hospital and obstetric professionals, she said, have begun mandatory drug screening during pre-natal visits. “What we started doing was a change of process. Before we didn’t drug test all moms. We now automatically go ahead and drug screen every mom. If they come back positive then we know we need to start doing our withdrawal plan for baby. We want to be sure we give them the care they need.” Babies born addicted to heroin and other opioids may suffer from the following symptoms, according to the Ohio Department of Health website:

low birth weight, breathing problems, seizures, feeding difﬁculties, trembling, irritability (excessive crying), sleep problems, highpitched crying. yawning, stuffy nose, and sneezing, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, sweating, fever or unstable temperature. Infants who exhibit these symptoms are treated at Wayne HealthCare with environmental changes that prove to alleviate their discomfort while withdrawing, Duff said. These may include rocking, dimming lights, caregivers who remain calm. “Local research shows if you are doing that, it shows a lower risk of them being transferred and being on more drugs, such as morphine,” Duff said. Of the 14 babies born addicted during 2016, seven were immediately transferred to Children’s, while seven were treated at Wayne’s Special Beginnings. And while mothers are often trained to use comfort measures with their newborns, most babies do end up leaving the hospital nursery in the care of foster homes within three to four days, Duff said.

New Madison FD receives life-saving grain bin rescue tube NEW MADISON - Members of the The Andersons Grain Group donated a grain rescue tube to the New Madison Volunteer Fire Department on Friday. The life-saving device was built by The Andersons to aid ﬁrst responders in attempting to rescue a person trapped inside a grain bin. Much like quick sand, ﬂowing grain inside a bin can rapidly entrap a person. Once submerged, the victim can suffocate in as quickly as a minute. During the past 50 years, more than 900 cases related grain bin accidents have been reported across the U.S. with a fatality rate of 62 percent, according to research at Purdue University. Such an incident occurred just last fall locally, claiming the life of a Darke County man.

The Andersons designed the grain bin rescue mechanism and began manufacturing them for use at their company operations. Seeing the use for them in the community, the company began donating the systems to fire departments in every community where The Andersons have grain operations. The device is made of four sections that can be quickly assembled in order to encapsulate a victim so they can be cleared from the bin. Before they can be used, rescue personnel must earn a certificate of training in how to properly deploy and utilize the grain rescue tube during a rescue scenario. To date, as many as three Darke County fire departments have such devices on-hand in case of a grain bin accident.

GREENVILLE – Roger Van Frank, director of Darke County Parks (DCP), addressed Greenville City Council on Feb. 21. Council learned Phase 6 of the bike trail crossing Darke County will continue to proceed through the city and city park to the western corporation limit. This portion of the trail could be completed by the end of 2017, but they do have 15 months to complete Phase 6. Van Frank said Phase 6 has been approved for a grant by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). This portion of the trail would connect where the trail current ends at the Alice Bish Trail near the entrance of the city park. The path would go behind the ﬁrst lagoon and would share the road with Wilson Road before continuing along Prairie Ridge Meadow. The ﬁrst step in the process is to complete a topographic survey and a cross-section design. Mote & Associates was chosen to complete the survey and cross-section design. With most of the project on cityowned property, the city would be responsible for 64 percent of the cost for the initial work, which will be reimbursed when the

grant funding is received. Mote & Associates presented a cost of $18,000 to do the work, but also agreed to provide 25 percent of in-kind services, which leaves $13,500 for the city and DCP. The city’s share is approximately $8,600. The grant is expected to pay most of trail preparation and paving. However, DCP and city will be using a lot of in-kind services in order to provide the local share of the grant. Van Frank said anything that helps to prepare for the project can be counted toward the local share. Mayor Steve Willman recognized John and Phyllis Riegle as Vint’s Family Restaurant celebrates 50 years in business on March 5. The restaurant was established in Greenville in 1967 by the Buschur family. In 1969, John Riegle started working at the family-owned business as a co-op student. He purchased the business in 1997. Willman said, “Vint’s Restaurant still continues to be the ﬁrst job opportunity for a number of local high school students.” Also, many of the recipes the business started with have been passed down over the years and are still in use today. Over the past 50 years, more than one million chicken dinners have been enjoyed by customers.

John and Phyllis Riegle, owners of Vint’s Family Restaurant, were recognized by Mayor Steve Willman during the Greenville City Council meeting for the restaurant’s 50th anniversary.

In other business, council: * Agreed to hire a parttime employee in the Income Tax Department. The Personnel & Public Information Committee explained there have been times the ofﬁce has been closed because employees have been required to appear for court proceedings, or have had illness or vacations scheduled. An additional employee would help keep the ofﬁce open. * Heard a report from the Finance Committee regarding the expenditure of community funds. These funds are derived from the lodging tax collected by local hotels. The funds will be distributed as follows: Greenville-Union Cemetery, $5,000; Friends of Harmon Field, $6,000;

Darke County Humane Society (for the Trap, Neuter & Release Program), $2,000; Trees for the Park, $2,000; Greenville Fireworks, $11,500; Darke County Historical Society, $250; Gathering at Garst, $250; Annie Oakley Committee, $250; Darke County Horseshoe Ohio State Tournament, $1,500; Darke County Horseshoe Ringer Classic, $1,500; Darke County Visitors Bureau, $16,000; Main Street Greenville, $16,000; Darke County Economic Development, $18,500; and Community Events, $12,000. The total appropriation is $93,200. The next regular meeting of Greenville City Council will be March 7, 7:30 p.m., Council Chambers, Municipal Building.

GREENVILLE POLICE BEAT

Subject with prior record arrested for gun possession Subject with Weapon

On Feb. 20 officers were dispatched to the area of Gray Avenue and Cypress Street in reference to a report of a subject flashing a handgun. The officers located Ronnie Jones sitting on a porch in the 300 block of North Gray Avenue. The officers asked him if he had any weapons on his person and Jones said he had a “toy” on his left hip area. The defendant lifted up his jacket and officers could see a holster clip as well as the grip to the end of a black handgun. Jones gave an officer permission to remove the black 9MM handgun, which appeared to be in good working condition. The handgun had a magazine in it with 8 rounds in the magazine but not a round in the chamber. Jones told the officer a guy named “Clint” gave him the gun then later said he found it on the

ground and picked it up so kids would not get it. The person making the complaint wrote a statement about the incident, which said Jones pulled out a black handgun, flashed it then put it back into his jacket. The defendant’s criminal history shows a conviction for trafficking drugs in 2014. Jones also has convictions for felonious assault (lesser offense), vehicle joy riding, breaking and entering, and disorderly conduct. The officer made contact with the assistant prosecutor who advised Jones be arrested if it was found he had felony convictions for drug abuse, trafficking drugs, or any other violent felony convictions. Jones was placed under arrest and transported to the Darke County Jail, where he was incarcerated without bond. The case will be taken to the prosecutor for

Shoplifting

On Feb. 17 an officer responded to the report of a shoplifting incident at Walmart. While enroute to the call, dispatch advised a male subject with the first name of James went to the shoe section of the store, selected shoes that were for sale and put them on his feet. The subject left the shoes belonging to him in the shoe section of the store. The subject then went to the self checkout lane of the store and purchased an unrelated item and exited the store without paying for the shoes on his feet. The Loss Prevention officer confronted the male subject after he exited the store and he refused to cooperate. Dispatch told the officer the subject was walking south away from Walmart. Loss Prevention was able to give a description of the subject to dispatch, which was relayed to the officer Upon arrival, the officer located the subject and recognized him to be James Bell. Bell was walking south in front of Rue 21. James matched the description given by Walmart’s loss prevention officer. The shoes on Bell’s feet appeared to be brand new. At first, Bell denied the shoes being stolen then after advising him officers would be reviewing the surveillance video with loss prevention he said he stole the shoes and left his old ones inside the store. It was also learned Jenna Bell, James’s wife, was present with him at the store during the incident. Jenna selected several items in a cart but left the cart with the items in it in the store then exited. James and Jenna were both transported to Walmart where they were both trespassed by loss prevention. When asked if he wanted to write a statement, James stated “I stole the shoes what else do you want me to say.” James was issued a citation for theft then released. The shoes were returned to Walmart; however, due to them being on Bell’s feet they are of no value to Walmart Wanted Person

On Feb. 20 an ofﬁcer observed a female defendant operating a vehicle westbound in the 800 block of Martin Street. The ofﬁcer had prior knowledge the defendant had active warrants for her arrest. The

officer saw the vehicle pull into the Sunoco station at 841 Martin Street. Due to heavy traffic on Martin Street, the officer was unable to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle immediately. The officer observed the vehicle park at a pump and the defendant exited the driver’s side and walk into the station. The officer was eventually able to pull behind the vehicle at the gas pump. While walking into the gas station, the officer saw the defendant exit the front doors of the station. The officer approached her and asked her name. She stated “Desiree.” When asked her last name the defendant said “Smith.” The officer advised the defendant he knew her name was Cheyenne Smith and there was a warrant for her arrest. The defendant resisted but the officer was eventually able to apprehend the defendant and successfully place her under arrest. Smith has a warrant from Greenville Police Department for failure to appear on traffic violations with a bond of $1,525. She also has warrants for traffic violations as well as drug abuse from Miami County, Those warrants show she has no bond and shows Smith’s operator’s license is under five suspensions with one of the suspensions being a court suspension through Miami County Juvenile court from April 2016 to July 2019. The defendant was then transported to the Darke County Jail where she was incarcerated without bond on her warrants. The defendant also was cited for resisting arrest and driving under suspension. On Feb. 20 an officer was attending to another call when he saw a known suspect walking on South Broadway near Water Street. The officer had prior knowledge that Jesse York was wanted on two active warrants through the Greenville Police Department. The officer stopped York to arrest him. York began complaining of back pain, so the officer transported him to Wayne HealthCare for examination. While waiting in the hall outside the examination room, the officer happened to notice York looking into a connecting room. The officer saw York exit the exam room. The officer followed

County’s science fair continues to grow BY RYAN BERRY MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – When local science teachers started the Darke County Science Day Project four years ago they had 30 projects. On Feb. 16, the 2017 Darke County Science Fair had 104 projects and 146 students participating from seven of the eight county schools and DeColores Montessori. Mike King, science teacher at Greenville and self-described science nerd, said, “I love this event.” He pointed out the work these students were doing is real science. Angela Deeter, healthcare educator with Premier Health who is also an RN and has worked in the Intensive Care Unit and with CareFlight, praised the students for their work. She said she never realized how big of an influence her high school science teacher had on her until she began studying to become a nurse. In addition to earning a bachelor’s degree, Deeter also holds a master’s degree and has had work published in medical journals. Deeter admits the lessons she learned in high school are paying off today as she works to find the answer to “what if.” She pointed out every scientific discovery has begun with those two words. The students participating in the event touched on a huge variety of topics and sciences as they tried to answer the question, what if. They developed their hypothesis and then began the work of trying to find the answer and either prove or disprove their initial beliefs. Many times the experiments led the participants to an unexpected answer. In addition to awarding many of the students with a superior rating and giving them an opportunity to compete at the Upper Miami Valley District Science Day, the event awarded numerous category and special awards. There were over 55 judges for this year’s event. Ryan Ballou (DeColores) and James McClure (Versailles) split the Grand Prize for Best Overall Project. Jordan Dill (Greenville), Kale Conway (DeColores) and Leo Williams (DeColores) tied for the third place prize for Best Overall Project. Students winning $100 prizes included Jordan Dill (Greenville), McMurry Award in Behavioral & So-

cial Sciences; Katie Bruns (DeColores), Cargill Award in Botany; Kale Conway (DeColores), Top Award in Chemistry/Biochemistry; James Normile and Anson Phillips (Greenville), Greenville Masonic Lodge Award in Engineering; Julia Herron (Greenville, Menke Consulting Award in Environmental Sciences; Mackenzie Baker and Kara Thompson (Greenville), Drs.

From the Commissioner’s Chair I have hit the 30 plus something days in office and I’ve had a lot of information MATT AULTMAN to absorb. DARKE COUNT During this COMMISSIONER time I have met many talented people who work for the county, organized my office space, and still trying to get used to a new dress code of wearing dress shoes and ties compared to jeans and work boots. I feel that I had learned a lot up to this point, but after a three-day seminar for new commissioners held in Columbus by the County Commissioners Association of Ohio (CCAO) it had become very apparent that there is so much more. This past election year brought in over 50 new commissioners across the state; that is almost 20% newly elected officials taking on new responsibilities. With this many new faces in county offices, we are all up to the learning curve but knowing we are supported by an association that supplies information and experience as the CCAO. I have found that anytime you attend an association meeting, of any kind, you get to meet with fellow peers to share information about what is happening from their part of the state. It is not the class time, the meals, or stacks of paperwork your sent home with to further review; but it is the down time between sessions, at lunch, and the evenings that you get to share ideas with others from across this great state. The CCAO has done an excellent job for the lineup for this workshop to cover every aspect of what it means to be a commissioner and our responsibilities that we have. The major take away from this conference was I am honored to serve a county that is far ahead of the norm throughout the state. From discussions with others that attended this program, is some commis-

sioners only see each other in session, some don’t share offices, some commissioners actually have to make appointments with each other to meet, some only hold office hours shortly before and shortly after session, some mow the lawn on county properties, some don’t know where all their county properties are. These conversations have me asking myself how good of a representation do the citizens have in those counties. Here in Darke County the commissioners share an office; we talk with other elected officials to work out find ways to be frugal with the spending; we know your name, family, and neighbors when you come to see us or we pass you on the street; and we genuinely care about what happens in this county to help it grow for the next generation. Typically you can’t see large changes or results right away, but planning for a few years down the road and taking small bites at a time to spread the cost of many years rather than having to lay it all out at once. A major difference I have found that makes us stand beyond the majority is staffed departments

of economic development and grants. Both are specialized to grow the county in different ways, but are vital for growth. The economic development office is there to help businesses and bring new development to come to the county to provide jobs. While our staffed grant department is here to bring funds to our county to update properties, provide funding to municipalities, and provide services throughout the community. Both of these have been in place for years and we are lucky to hire competent and capable staff to push Darke County forward; and when compared to some other counties, they have no one hired or just now starting to set up these departments within their county. The top technical sessions that were covered was the sunshine law, ethics, and budgeting. A perfect quote to go along with those topics I first read in Merriam-Webster’s dictionary: “Being a politician these days means living in a fishbowl—every part of your life is open to public view.” Sunshine Law is just that. Everything we do, except for a couple rare exclusions allowed by law, is

done out in the open (sunshine) for all public to view what is going on. Ethics follows along similar lines to the Golden Rule “Do unto others as you wish done upon yourself” or more simply “Do what is right.” When it comes to budgeting, I stated previously that we surround ourselves with people who do what is best for the county, are very conservative with the money, and try to make the best choices for the future of our county. Under these budgeting guidelines, there are many moving parts to our county that many probably do not see but are vital. The upkeep of buildings, care of families, and safety of our community are to list a few. We are fortunate to have the people we do, citizens we have, and the businesses that are here in our county. We have a board of commissioners that talk to each other, conservative with county funds, enjoy working together, and we all try to do the best for Darke County. Looking forward to the next four years in ofﬁce of what I and the other elected ofﬁcials are doing to maintain and grow our county.

Defense advances Arcanum Lady Trojans in tournament play GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

PITSBURG - The Arcanum Lady Trojans used solid defensive play to defeat the Northwestern Lady Warriors 36-24 to advance in OHSAA DIII tournament play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a little rough,â&#x20AC;? Arcanum Coach Matt Grote said of the Thursday night game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Got out to a 14-7 lead. The ball was going in the basket pretty decent in the ďŹ rst quarter then shots didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall. We got open looks like we wanted but luckily we had a pretty solid defensive effort â&#x20AC;Ś held their best player (Abby Zerkle) to 15. She is averaging about 21 on the season and that was big for us.â&#x20AC;? Northwestern got on the board ďŹ rst hitting a bucket and going 1-2 at the line to lead 3-0 before Gracie Garno would go 2-2 at the line to put Arcanum on the board. Back-to-back Kaitlyn Zell layups had the Lady

Trojans up 6-3 bringing a timeout from the Warriors bench. Northwestern answered with a layup followed by a Stevie Johnting trey upping Arcanumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead to 9-5. A Lady Warriors layup cut the Lady Trojans lead to 9-7. Arcanum closed out ďŹ rst quarter play with a Brittany Kinney three and Elle Siculan going 2-2 at the line to give the girls from Arcanum a 14 -7 lead. Period No. 2 had McKenzie Sharritts knocking down a three to give the Lady Trojans a 17-7 double digit advantage. The Lady Warriors would get back-to-back baskets cutting Arcanumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead to 17-11 before the Lady Trojans would get a Johnting stick-back giving Arcanum a 5-4 second quarter scoring advantage sending the teams to the break with the Lady Trojans leading 19-11. Northwestern used a 7-0 opening third quarter run to cut the Lady Trojans lead to 19-18. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This time of year ev-

erything gets tighter, every possession is big,â&#x20AC;? noted Coach Grote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really look at a teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get after it. They are going to put their heart and soul into it and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do the same. Nothing is easy here out. Every game is going to be a grind.â&#x20AC;? Kayla Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Danielâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2-2 at the line and a Lady Warriors layup had a 21-20 score with 3:18 on the third quarter clock. The Lady Trojans used seven unanswered point by way of a Siculan three, a Gracie Garno layup off a steal and a Camille Pohl layup off an inbound pass to give Arcanum a 28-20 lead. Northwestern would close out third quarter scoring with a basket giving the Lady Trojans a 2822 advantage with one period to play. Sharritts drained her second three of the night to open fourth quarter play giving Arcanum a 3122 advantage followed by a Lady Warriors free-throw. The Lady Trojans used a Pohl stick-back to get their

second double-digit lead of the night and completed a 5-0 run with a Johnting old fashioned three-point play to lead 36-23 with 1:10 on the game clock. Northwestern would close out scoring on the night going 1-2 at the line with the Lady Trojans earning a second round tournament win. Eight Lady Trojans got in the scoring column led by Johntingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eight points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stevie (Johnting) is normally our leading scorer,â&#x20AC;? said Grote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She gets to the hole, makes some shots but lately if she struggles at all we have some other girls that are stepping up, putting the ball in the basket.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we need at tournament time,â&#x20AC;? added Grote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not just a one horse show. Everybody can come in and put the ball in the basket when we need to â&#x20AC;Ś makes us a lot harder to guard too.â&#x20AC;? Arcanum Scoring: S. Johnting 8, M, Sharritts 6, E. Siculan 5, K.

Justiss Cantu proves hard work produces success BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY, Ind. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Whether it be dribbling a basketball or studying for a ďŹ nal exam, Union City High School junior Justiss Cantu dedicates her time and effort at always being at the top of her game. On the court, she has been a key member of the Union City Lady Indians Basketball program for the last three seasons and has helped her team make it to its ďŹ rst ever state championship.

She most recently scored a personal best 36 points in the IHSAA Class 1A Semi-State game to help her team advanced to the state ďŹ nals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Justiss is able to get

things done on the ďŹ&#x201A;oor and is a great leader for the team,â&#x20AC;? said UC girls basketball coach Sarah Black. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has been able to overcome some adversity in her life which helps her deal with and overcome situations on the court.â&#x20AC;? Justiss contributes much of her success on the court to her coaches and teammates, but most of all her father, who has spent many hours working to help her be a better player since she was young. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He always made me wear the blinders to help keep me from looking down at the ball when I was dribblingâ&#x20AC;ŚI hated those things,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dad spends a lot of time working with me and my brother to get better.â&#x20AC;?

Currently Cantu has a 3.96 GPA and is a member of the National Honor Society at Union City. She told The Early Bird, her favorite subject is math and even works on problems on bus rides to games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;School always comes ďŹ rst,â&#x20AC;? she noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A good education is more important than any basketball game to me!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wellâ&#x20AC;ŚI must admit playing for a state championship does come pretty close though,â&#x20AC;? she added with a smile.

UC Lady Indians win double OT thriller to advance to state ďŹ nals BY CLINTON RANDALL STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

LOGANSPORT, Ind. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Union City Lady Indians advanced to the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst ever state championship game after upsetting the favored Marquette Catholic in a double overtime thriller at the IHSAA Class 1A Semi-State last Saturday. Led by the ďŹ ve foot tall junior point guard Justiss Cantu, who lit up the scoreboard with a game and personal best 36 points, UC held the lead for most of the game before ďŹ nally sealing the win in the second overtime period by a ďŹ nal score of 69-64.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Justiss played a huge role for us todayâ&#x20AC;Śshe stepped up big time,â&#x20AC;? said UC head coach Sarah Black. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is a great leader and just put the team on her shoulders and helped carry them to a hard-fought win!â&#x20AC;? Cantu led all scores with 36â&#x20AC;Śshooting an impressive 14-18 from the foul line. She also had eight steals and six assists to be named the game MVP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a long gameâ&#x20AC;Ś playing eight extra minutes. The shots were just going in and there was deďŹ nitely a little bit of luck too,â&#x20AC;? she said with a smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This means to world to all of us and making it to state is a

dream come true!â&#x20AC;? Wise had ďŹ ve blocked shots and scored 10 points, which gave her the scoring record for most points in a single season with 409â&#x20AC;Ś and counting. Zimmers hit for nine points and had four steals, while senior Kora Kerns added eight points on the scoreboard. Adding to her six points, Hartman crashed the boards for 11 rebounds for the Lady Indians. The win gave Union City a 24-4 record, which is also a new school record for the program. The team once again made school history, playing for an IHSAA Class 1A State Championship Saturday, Feb. 25 against the

top-ranked (28-1) Lady Trojans from Wood Memorial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls have worked hard and knew the end goal from the beginning of the seasonâ&#x20AC;Świn a state championshipâ&#x20AC;Śand they have an opportunity next Saturday. It came with a lot of blood, sweat and tears, but we get that chance and makes it all worth it,â&#x20AC;? added Coach Black. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach Black is the glue that holds this program together,â&#x20AC;? noted Asst. Coach Neal Adams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is more like a family than a team!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Win or loose, these girls have made history and will always remember this moment,â&#x20AC;? added Asst. Coach Keith Fields. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What a sea-

Versailles advances in tournament play with big win over Lady Polar Bears BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

PITSBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Versailles Lady Tigers easily defeated the Northridge Lady Polar Bears 67-19 in the second round of OHSAA DIII tournament play Tuesday night at the Hanger in Pitsburg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the most part I thought we came out pretty good,â&#x20AC;? said Versailles Coach Jacki Stonebraker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had some lulls. The 2-3 made us stand around too much in our offense but for the most part I thought our rebounding was pretty good and we worked the ball around enough.â&#x20AC;? The Lady Tigers could have easily added many more points to the scorebook for the second consecutive game of the 2017 tournament season, but in Coach Jacki Stonebraker fashion, the Versailles

coach used the early round tournament games to get all 15 players valuable varsity playing time, making extra passes while keeping her foot off the offensive scoring peddle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I say we either play these games (Triad 3-15 and Northridge 1-21) or we go practice,â&#x20AC;? said Stonebraker of the early round games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They would rather play games so I say we have to go show them out on the court, we have to go win this next game and that usually ďŹ res them up a little bit. They like to play games more than they like to practice.â&#x20AC;? Versaillesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;2â&#x20AC;? junior Daniel Winner got the Lady Tigers on the board at 7:40 in the ďŹ rst to lead 2-0 followed by an Elizabeth Ording basket at 7:33 and a second D. Winner basket to lead 6-0 at 6:22. Back-to-back Kami

McEldowney three-pointers had Versailles grabbing a 12-0 lead followed by a Brynna Blakeley basket to lead 14-0 before the Lady Bears would get on the board to make it a 14-2 game. The Lady Tigers closed out ďŹ rst quarter play with six Clair Schmitmeyer points, ďŹ ve K. McEldowney points including

her third triple of the ďŹ rst period, and two D. Winner free-throws putting the Lady Tigers up 28-7 after one period of play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is such a good spark off our bench,â&#x20AC;? Coach Stonebraker said of Clair Schmitmeyer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She can defend anybody and she can defend the post â&#x20AC;Ś she can defend a guard. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a post player and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re defending her she is going to take you to the hole. If you are a guard and you are defending her sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to post you up. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our one girl that I think is a hard match-up.â&#x20AC;? Period No. 2 had the Lady Tigers taking the period by a 15-4 score sending the teams to the break with a 43-11 advantage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think our second quarter really ďŹ red us up and got us going,â&#x20AC;? Stonebraker noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Got a couple fast breaks â&#x20AC;Ś seamed

to ďŹ re us up a little bit more and our transition looked good in that second and third quarter.â&#x20AC;? Versailles 6â&#x20AC;?1â&#x20AC;? freshman Lindsey Winner came off the bench to lead the Lady Tigers with seven second quarter points while K. McEldowney, Camille Watren, Ellen Peters and E. Ording were each adding a basket to the scoring column. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lindsey (Winner) did a great job tonight sealing on the back side and making some really strong post moves on the back side,â&#x20AC;? Stonebraker stated. The Lady Tigers defense held Northridge to two third-quarter points while adding 19 points to the board to lead 62-13 with one period to play.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Defensively I thought we had some really good defensive stops in the inside as well,â&#x20AC;? said Stonebraker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (Lady Tigers) challenged their No. 35 (Jamese Johnson) when she came in, we helped off with her and we dropped and rotated pretty well.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our posts did a really good job getting big and staying big inside,â&#x20AC;? Stonebraker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just need to work on ďŹ nishing. I thought that one more pass to get that girl open â&#x20AC;Ś the inside outside game was really strong.â&#x20AC;?

Versailles closes season 21-1 with win over Wave BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The visiting Versailles Tigers pulled out a hard earned 57-56 win over The Greenville Green Wave in the ďŹ nal game of the regular season for both teams as they prepare for the upcoming OHSAA State Tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody contributed tonight that stepped on the ďŹ&#x201A;oor,â&#x20AC;? said Versailles Coach Travis Swank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They put it all on the line their last game of the regular season. Hopefully we can do it in the tournament run.â&#x20AC;? GHS took a 14-12 lead after one period of play getting seven points from Aaron Rich and six Devin Hendrix points while Alex Wendel and Justin Ahrens were each hitting two baskets for the Tigers. Period No. 2 had the lead bouncing back and forth before the Wave held a 26-25 advantage a 1:16 only to have a Versailles

Conner Custenborder basket make it a 27-26 Tigers lead at 0:408 and a Justin Ahrens basket with 0:046 on the clock giving the Ohio State bound junior nine second-quarter points sending the teams to the break with Versailles leading 29-26. Greenville took the third quarter by an 11-10 score with the teams headed to the ďŹ nal period of play with the Tigers holding a slim 39-37 advantage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They pressure and get after you a little,â&#x20AC;? Coach Swank noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen that type of pressure since the beginning of the year. We can go back and look at this because we are going to have some teams do the exact same things in tournament.â&#x20AC;? The fourth quarter had Greenville taking a 49-43 lead at 4:36. Versailles answered with six unanswered points to even the score a 49-49 with 2:54 showing. Trailing 56-54 late in

the game, J. Ahrens hit a ďŹ eld goal and a free throw with 0:036 showing to give the Versailles Tigers a 5756 non-conference win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Justin has ice water in his veins knocking down that free-throw there at the end,â&#x20AC;? said Swank. Prior to the game Greenville honored their senior pep band members, senior cheerleaders and seven senior boys basketball players: Isaiah Gable, Aaron Rich, Devin Hendrix, Peter Pandy, Trae Wood, Kyle Phillips and Daniel Harper.

Coffeehouse show with Farnham sold out GREENVILLE – Darke County Center for the Arts will present “An Evening of Piano with Jason Farnham” at The Coffee Pot in downtown Greenville on March 2; the concert, part of DCCA’s Coffeehouse Series, begins at 7 p.m. According to DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins, the composer/ pianist has been dubbed “Schroeder” by his fans, after the piano-playing character found in the Peanuts comic strip. “Jason Farnham delights audiences with his wide-ranging repertoire, some of which is skillfully played on a toy piano, accounting for the Schroeder comparison,” Mr. Rawlins explained. “Jason’s show includes contemporary romantic songs, some blues, stride piano sounds, and classical music with a modern twist, along with witty Victor Borge-style comedy antics and clever interaction with his audience,” the DCCA ofﬁcial stated. DCCA’s Coffeehouse

Jason Farnham

presentations offer highquality artists performing in an intimate social atmosphere where food and drink are also available. DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan says this casual format will enhance audience enjoyment of Jason Farnham’s performance. “Jason has been described as a combination of Jerry Lee Lewis, Victor Borge, and Beethoven on steroids who sometimes plays the piano while lying upsidedown, which should provide a fascinating and exciting evening for music lovers of all ages,” she commented. DCCA’s Coffeehouse Series is sponsored by The Andersons, Inc., EB Real Estate, Julie and

Tom Graber, Eileen and Steve Litchﬁeld, and Rodney Oda. The Ohio Arts Council helps fund this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. DCCA also receives operating support from the Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial as well as funding from the Ketrow Foundation and Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund. DCCA membership contributions also help support this show. Tickets for An Evening of Piano with Jason Farnham are sold out. For more information, contact DCCA at (937) 547-0908 or dcca@centerforarts.net, or visit www.CenterForArts.net. Farnham will also perform for kindergarten through third grade students in all local public schools Feb. 27 through March 3 as part of DCCA’s Arts in Education program; these performances are free and open to the public.

Numerous vehicles damaged in late night Greenville rampage GREENVILLE – Numerous vehicles and other property were damaged as three male suspects reportedly went on a late night rampage Monday in the city of Greenville. According to the Greenville Police Department, at least 14 vehicles, including several business and one city vehicle, were involved. The damage investigation revealed the vandals smashed out windows of the vehicles, as well as causing some body damage in the process. Most reports came from parked near homes on Marion Dr., Sharp Ln., Park Ave. and several other isolated incidents on surrounding streets. The three accused subjects were stopped in a vehicle by police at approximately 2:30 a.m. Monday morning. The ﬁrst report of damage came in just about 10 minutes prior to the trafﬁc stop. The suspects are Matthew Adams (23), Jacob Marando (20) and a 17-year old juvenile. The trio faces a number of misdemeanor and felony charges. Alcohol is believed to be involved. The charges are being re-

Big turnout for Darke County WATM Winter Y Day event CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

A Night in Hollywood SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Greenville CTC’s Supply Chain Management is once again bringing a taste of Hollywood to Darke County. A Night in Hollywood, starring Darke County Special Olympians, will be held from 5:30-9 p.m. Saturday, March 4, at the high school gymnasium. This is the third year for the fundraiser event, with all proceeds benefiting the Darke County Special Olympics program. What started out as a class project for the Business Professionals of America (BPA) annual competition, came to life when the original organizers decided to turn their fictitious community service project into a real live event. The first two years, A Night in Hollywood, along with a Celebrity Appretice fundraiser, has earned more than $13,000 for Darke County Special Olympics – as well as a Traveling Trophy from the BPA contest. “Every dime we raise stays here,” said senior Kyle Phillips. “This event raises dollars that stay here.” Supply Chain Management teacher Dara Buchy oversees the annual fundraiser, helping her students plan and promote the event. She also is proud of the fact that Greenville students are raising money that stays in the county, explaining how if local organizations participated in what’s become a regional fundraiser, the Polar Plunge, only a portion of the funds raised would go to benefit Darke County’s Special Olympics. Special Olympians are invited to participate in A Night in Hollywood by sharing a talent – art, singing, dance – for example. Also, those who would like

to donate artwork for a silent rafﬂe, are welcome to do so. “It’s exciting to look around the room and see the parents and grandparents and friends of the Special Olympians as they take the stage,” Buchy said. “It’s a night like no other experience for them.” The fundraiser has become such an important event for the Supply Chain Management senior class that planning and preparations not only take place during regular class time – as part of their curriculum – but many also spend time away from school working on the project. “It’s important for my students to understand community service is something we should just do, not be told to do,” Buchy said.

GREENVILLE - The Darke County We Are The Majority (WATM) group hosted the Winter Y Day Feb. 17 at the YMCA in Greenville. According to group leaders, the event was a huge success, with over a hundred kids in grades K-6 in attendance. “I’m excited about how successful the event was. We didn’t really know what to expect but had probably 100 or so kids,” said a WATM leader Taylor Ward, a senior at Greenville High School.” It was a great opportunity to reach out to the kids in the community to teach them that getting involved in drugs and alcohol is not the way to go, and you can have fun and be more successful without that in your life.” Ward and more than 30 other teen leaders helped teach the kids leadership and team building skills, the dangers of smoking and doing drugs and other educational activities. The kids also swam, played games and had pizza together. The event was free to the kids from funding provided by the Coalition for a Healthy Darke County, with the YMCA offering use of their facility at no cost. It was sponsored by the Recovery and Wellness Centers of Midwest Ohio. “I was pleased to see such a huge turnout for the event, including over 100 elementary students, 35 teen leaders and multiple adult partners from various agencies including Gateway and Big Brothers Big Sisters program who have a great deal of experience working with children,” explained Prevention Specialist Kelly Harrison of Recovery and Wellness Centers of Midwest Ohio. “We are very excited

to have been able to help host this event, which is only the beginning of what I hope to become a very strong and active partnership in the prevention of addiction among the youth of Darke County,” added YMCA of Darke County CEO Sam Casalano. In 2016, the Coalition for a Healthy Darke County applied for and received grants from the Darke County United Way and the Greenville Rotary Club. Those funds were added to Coalition dollars to offer Substance Abuse

to see its grant dollars in action with the We Are The Majority group at the YMCA.” To learn more about the Darke County We Are The Majority group and upcoming community events, contact Kelly Harrison at 548-6842 or request an invite to join the Darke County We Are The Majority page on Facebook.

Senior Behavioral Health accepting patients SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Wayne HealthCare’s new 12-bed Senior Behavioral Health opened earlier this month, following a $1.7 million renovation of the hospital’s second ﬂoor. Unveiled in late December, the facility is now fully operational, says program director Tonya Soete, RN-BC, MSN. The unit specializes in care and treatment of patients age 65 and over who “have an acute psychiatric issue,” Soete explained. Many candidates for Senior Behavioral Health may have experienced a life-changing event, Soete said, for example the death of a spouse or the diagnosis of dementia, which can include psychotic episodes.

Following diagnosis, a typical stay in the unit will be 10-14 days. “Some stay less, some stay more,” Soete said. The benefit of having such a facility as part of a hospital is not only are patients receiving mental health care, they also benefit from daily medical care as needed. Upon admittance, a treatment plan will be tailored to individual needs, with healthcare professionals trained to work one-on-one with each patient as well as their family members. “We encourage family to ask questions,” Soete said. “Dignity and respect is the first thing here.” Referrals to Wayne HealthCare’s Senior Behaviorial Health may be made by family physicians, therapists, social workers and social service

agencies, mental health professionals, family/ friends and by the patient themselves. Once accepted as a patient, treatment may include intensive nursing services, group and individual activities, assistance with coping mechanisms and problem solving skills, medication management and family support. Patients also are treated by the on-site psychiatrist. “We can’t change the diagnosis of dementia, but we want to change our reactions to it,” Soete said, noting that the Senior Behavioral Health staff is planning some outreach programs for the community to provide education about the county’s need for mental health services for the older population. According to a brochure available through

Senior Behavioral Health, depression and other emotional illnesses are a signiﬁcant problem for senior citizens. National statistics show one of four older adults suffer from serious emotional difﬁculties related to age, putting them at a higher risk for suicide. Of the 19 million people suffering from depression at some point in their lives, 80-90 percent can be effectively treated if treated early. Signs to look for in a loved one who may be suffering from depression or dementia may include increased forgetfulness or confusion, change in sleeping patterns, insomnia, delusions and/or hallucinations, other behavioral problems. For more information concerning Senior Behavioral Health, or to make a referral, call 547-7430.

PIQUA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Edison State Community College Athletics Department and the Edison Foundation are partnering to host the eighth annual Charger 300 event on March 16, 6 p.m., in the Robinson Theater at the Piqua Campus. Just as academic programs at Edison State are enhanced by internship and co-op experiences, intercollegiate athletics allow students to test and form lifelong values and habits that build character and shape identity. Edison Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studentathletes are well prepared for both the academic and competitive challenge. As athletic success grows, so do opportunities to compete at elite conference, regional, state and national levels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Charger 300 event helps to support our student-athletes in more ways than one,â&#x20AC;? said Nate Cole, Director of Athletics and Student Life at Edison State. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With ďŹ nancial support from this event, our student-athletes have the opportunity to grow as individuals through academic and athletic rigor without having to worry about the ďŹ nancial burdens often associated with college.â&#x20AC;? Intercollegiate athletics have become a valuable part of the Edison State community. Each year, over 100 student-athletes participate in baseball, menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball, and volleyball. The Edison State Athletic Department also recently announced the addition of womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s softball to

its list of intercollegiate athletic programs beginning in the spring of 2018. Investment in Edison Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s student-athletes through the Charger 300 allows them to compete at the highest level in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) while supporting every player, every coach, and every sport. A reverse rafďŹ&#x201A;e will highlight the eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events, with one lucky winner walking away with a $10,000 prize. Other cash drawings will occur throughout the night, and ticket holders are not required to be present to win. Tickets are $100 per couple and include an allyou-can-eat buffet, beverages, entertainment, and a chance to win the grand prize. A silent auction will also feature such items as NFL and Dayton Dragon tickets, as well as gift baskets from local businesses and organizations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a lot of supporters show up last year and hope to have even more this year,â&#x20AC;? added Cole. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fun night thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s held for a great cause.â&#x20AC;? Edison Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intercollegiate athletic teams compete in the Ohio Community College Athletic Conference (OCCAC) and are Division II members of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). For more information and to purchase tickets for the Charger 300 Club event, visit www.edisonohio.edu/ charger300 or call Nate Cole at (937) 381-1555.

Darke Co.

There may also be occasional Friday rehearsals that will be required as well; this is subject to change at the di-

rectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discretion.

MEMORIES OF THE PAST KAY BROWNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S postcard collection of local towns and subjects was one of the best around Darke County. She was keenly interested in history and in Darke County; this search was a life-long passion. She helped her husband, Pete Brown, run the Central Drug Store from

1946-1967. They helped the Garst Museum ever since then. Pete died in 1995 and was 25 years the President of the Museum. She retired from the museum board four years ago and passed away in 2014 at age 98. She never wanted to live anywhere other than in Greenville. She most enjoyed the GPAT Channel 5 TV broadcasts with former council-person Kathleen Floyd, where they

discussed these same postcards covering 100 years of Greenville/local history. DICK BROWN, son, is also a life-long resident of Greenville and now keeps their postcard collection. Dick graduated from GHS in 1964, Miami University in 1968, taught school for a year, owned McVayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sporting Goods for 16 years and was a real estate appraiser for

11 years. He has been vice president of the Darke County Historical Society for the past 20 years. Dick is still involved with the GHS yearbook and has been president of the GHS Alumni Association for the past eight years.

This majestic building was the Bradford Infirmary. With the decline of the railroad, the need for an infirmary in the small village was lessened. Today, Bradford residents have to travel outside of the village limits to find a doctor. Trains having been rumbling through the village of Ansonia for a very long time and you may even catch a glimpse of an engineer stopping to grab a soda or a bite to eat at the local convenience store. In 1909, the town relied heavily on the mode of transportation. Shown is a picture of the Ansonia Union Depot and Tower. Much has changed since 1906 when this picture was taken of the Great Darke County. While the name has withstood the test of time, todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair is nine days rather than the five that was celebrated over 100 years ago. Harness racing also continues to be a big attraction at fair. The hot air balloon would have been fun to see in 1906. The Arcanum I.O.O.F. building is still standing in this southern Darke County village. If you look close you can see a dentist had his office in the building in 1913.
