Pefﬂy acquitted by jury on all counts in child rape case CLINTON RANDALL

STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

Candidates, elected ofﬁcials and members of the Darke County Republican Party came together to open the Darke County Republican Party Headquarters in Greenville.

Local Republican Party opens headquarters GREENVILLE – The Darke County Republican Party is open for business. On Sept. 17, local Republican candidates were joined by Pat DeWine, candidate for Ohio Supreme Court, opened the Darke County Republican Headquarters, 234 E. Main St., Greenville. DeWine’s career path to candidate for Ohio Supreme Court has included everything from city council member and county commissioner to common pleas court and appellate court judge. He told Darke County Republicans he believes in the constitution as it was written by its framers. He said his opponent believes in a living Constitution where it changes over time. “If people want to change the Constitution, we have a way of doing it,” DeWine said.

DeWine said he refuses to legislate from the bench, but will uphold the Constitution. DeWine believes he brings a unique perspective to the court. Having served citizens as a councilman and commissioner he has a familiarity with the concerns of local communities. Throughout his career, DeWine has been a consistent watchdog for taxpayers and has had a hand in lowering the tax burden and eliminating unnecessary bureaucracy and promoting public safety. The headquarters will be open Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, noon to 5 p.m. They have yard signs and information on local, state and national candidates. If you would like to volunteer at the headquarters, call 423-4627 or 548-1731.

SUSAN HARTLEY

vided by Bemus to The Early Bird, she states: “When we receive our data, we always reﬂect on results as we examine the positives and areas for growth/ improvement. One of our most positive results is the improvement of Greenville High School’s four-year graduation rate over time. The four-year graduation rate is 93.4 percent and this is up from 84.6 percent in 2011-12.” Fries told board members he was pleased with this year’s graduation rate grade – B. “Graduation rate and student engagement and involvement are the two most important things you can do at a school,” Fries said. In her report, Bemus explains that the General Assembly directed the Ohio Department of Education to transition to new state tests in mathematics and English language arts for the 201415 school year. “These new tests reﬂect higher expectations and increased rigor, she writes. “ To give schools, teachers and students time to adjust, new Ohio law suspends many of the consequences of the tests for the 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 school years. Ohio’s assessment system is in transition, so the results on the report cards should be viewed in that context.

GREENVILLE - It took a jury just two hours to return a ‘not guilty’ verdict Thursday afternoon against 34year-old Derek M. Peffly in the Darke County Common Pleas Court. Facing a possible life sentence if found guilty, Peffly’s defense attorney Patrick Mulligan told The Early Bird that his client had turned down a plea offer prior to trial and was determined to prove his innocence against the allegations. “He has been absolutely confident in his position and never once wavered. Today he was rewarded for his convictions,” Mulligan said following the trial. Peffly was indicted in 2015 on three counts of Rape (F1) and three counts of Gross Sexual Imposition (F3) following an investigation by the Greenville Police Department accusing Peffly of victimizing the three young girls, on several occasions ranging from July 2013 to December 2014. Two of the alleged victims were under the age of 10 at the time, which carries a possible life sentence in the State of Ohio. During the three-day trial, the jury, made up of five men and seven wom-

en, heard testimony from the alleged victims, family members, local law enforcement and the defendant himself. While on the stand, Pefﬂy claimed that the allegations started after he had disciplined the oldest of the three alleged victims... claiming he had “squeezed her breasts”. He did admit to being left in bed alone sometimes with the younger two children while the mother, his girlfriend, got the older kids ready for school in mornings. He adamantly denied any kind of sexual contact was ever made during these or any other occasions. In addition to the other witnesses, expert testimony was given by Dr. Brenda Miceli, a pediatric psychologist, and Dr. Lori Roediger, a physician from Dayton Children’s Hospital, where exams were performed on each of the three children in December 2014. The sexual abuse allegations were conﬁrmed by the examining physician - despite normal exam results. “It is common to have incidents of sexual abuse, even with a normal looking exam,” Dr. Roediger explained while on the witness stand. During testimony for the defense, the children’s uncle told the jury that the

kids were instructed by their mother (his sister) of what to tell the doctor while they were en route to the hospital. Additionally, he testiﬁed that she had made similar allegations about the kids’ biological father while residing in Pennsylvania - though no police report was ever made. During closing arguments on Thursday, defense attorney Patrick Mulligan focused on what he called “contamination and inconsistency” in the victims’ stories and the virtual lack of any evidence to support a conviction of his client. “There is so far from consistency in this case. From an investigation standpoint - this case stinks,” he said during his

closing argument. “Would you be willing to bet a paycheck on the evidence in this case? I wouldn’t even bet a dollar!” Though disappointed in the outcome of the trial, Darke County Assistant Prosecutor Deborah S. Quigley was not upset by the verdict. “It is always a difﬁcult case when you have to rely on small children being your main witnesses,” Quigley said following the trial. “We presented the evidence we had to the jury and they came back with a verdict of not guilty. I guess that is how they saw the case.” After being held on a $250,000 bond for over a year, Derek Pefﬂy was released from the Darke County Jail.

Matix: ‘Legislators need to stay away from education’ STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Ohio Department of Education released the 2016 Ohio School Report Cards on Thursday, Sept. 15, showing how public schools performed during the 2015-16 school year. While the state continues to raise expectations for how its schools perform, school ofﬁcials remain discouraged. At the end of Thursday’s Greenville Board of Education meeting, board president Fred Matix voiced his displeasure with state ofﬁcials and changes taking place with student testing. “There’s been enough concern across the state with superintendents,” Matix said “that there’s a proclamation out there to go to Columbus in November” to protest the changes and the state legislators’ involvement with education. “The legislators need to stay away from education and let the teachers do their jobs,” he stated. Superintendent Doug Fries and Assistant Superintendent Laura Bemus both commented on the district’s improved graduation rate – one of six major components of the report card. In a written report pro-

History has shown us that when the state transitions to new or different tests, it takes time to adjust and see positive results.” For the 2015-16 school year, districts were given the choice to take tests online or use paper and pencil. “Greenville chose to test online and again that was new to our students for high stakes testing, but we felt that it was important to give our students that opportunity, while we are in safe harbor, to gain experience in using technology for assessments,” Bemus explained. Beginning with the release of the 2016 local report cards there are six components receiving an overall letter grade (A-F) for the ﬁrst time - Achievement, Gap Closing, K-3 Literacy, Progress, Graduation Rate and Prepared for Success. According to Bemus, the department of education has cautioned districts not to compare to previous years across all categories, because many of the measures have changed and also

improvement will not show up clearly due to the changes on the report cards. The following are Greenville’s scores on the six components: District Achievement – D Gap Closing - F K-3 Literacy - D Progress - C Graduation Rate - B Prepared for Success - D “Also, we met the Value-Added performance measure overall and in all subgroups (gifted, students with disabilities, and the lowest 20 percent performing students),” Bemus explained. “The Value-Added measure has improved from an F in 2105 to a C in 2016, for Greenville City Schools. This measure is used for teacher evaluations and is determined by students meeting expected growth over the past year of instruction.” The district has implemented several initiatives to support learning, Bemus noted, including MAP testing in grades K-11 in English Language Arts and math to measure student achieve-

Greenville pursuit ends in arrest Pursuit

On Sept. 17, an officer was traveling south in the 300 block of Wagner Avenue attempting to catch up to a vehicle in order to conduct a traffic stop. The officer clocked the defendant, Todd M. Jeske, traveling north in the 300 block of Wagner Avenue at 45 mph in a 35 mph zone. Approximately one month prior, the same officer had charged the driver with OVI and placed him under suspension. The officer activated the overhead emergency lights and turned around in order to conduct a traffic stop on the listed vehicle for the speed and driving under suspension violations. Upon turning around, the officer observed the listed vehicle speed up then quickly turn west bound onto Shawnee Street. At this time, the officer reported he heard the tires on the listed vehicle. Jeske then turned south onto Delaware Avenue and accelerated to a high rate of speed. He continued to drive through town, through several posted stop signs and traveling at a high rate of speed. Two other police officers and two Darke County deputies joined in the pursuit. Jeske’s vehicle was finally located in an alley in the 600 block of Sweitzer Street. Jeske ran from

officers and a short foot pursuit ensued. The defendant was apprehended near the intersection of Sherman and Sweitzer Street. While arresting Jeske, officers immediately detected a strong odor of alcohol, bloodshot eyes and slurred speech. When asked why he ran, the defendant stated “I got an OVI.” When asked how much alcohol he had consumed, Jeske stated that he drank “a long time ago.” Jeske was placed under arrest and was transported to the Darke County Jail, where he refused to complete a field sobriety test.

ON YOUR MIND

Buchy announces ﬁrst WOVV captain GREENVILLE – Assistant Majority Leader of the Ohio House of Representatives Jim Buchy (Greenville, Ohio) announced the ﬁrst of three captains to serve on the leadership team of Western Ohio Values Voters (WOVV) for Trump-Pence. State Representative Robert McColley (Napoleon) will lead the northern region, which includes Lucas, Wood Hancock and surrounding counties. McColley is seeking re-election for his second term to the Ohio House of Representatives. He currently serves as the Co-Chairman of the Ohio House Republican Organizational Committee, where he is tasked with leading efforts to help other Ohio House Republicans achieve victory in their districts. This particular region is an important focus for the state, and McColley will be responsible for garnering grassroots support from value voters through an aggressive campaign of voter education, recruitment and engagement. “Rob has demonstrated his ability to lead in the legislature and his rich connections to this region,

will pay dividends as we build a coalition of values voters to carry Ohio to a Republican victory in November,” Buchy said. The three northern counties located directly on I-75 supported President Obama by a large margin in the last two presidential elections, and McColley acknowledges that it will be a challenge. “I really look at the northern I-75 region as Lucas, Hancock, Wood and all the surrounding counties,” McColley said. “When you look at the large margins in favor of TrumpPence in Henry, Deﬁance, Williams, Fulton, Putnam and Sandusky counties a big victory in northwest Ohio is highly possible. As we saw in 2000 and 2004, if we can drive a high turnout in Western Ohio, a Republican victory is very likely.” The I-75 counties have been split into three sections: Lucas to Hancock, Allen to Montgomery, and Warren, Butler and Hamilton. The group encourages anyone wishing to join in the efforts to sign up at tinyurl.com/westernohiovaluesvoters

Volunteer mentor inspired by TV show B i g Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke County can thank JENNY BRUNS talk show EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR host, Kelly BIG BROTHERS/BIG SISTERS Ripa for SHELBY & DARKE COUNTIES their new Big Sister, Mindy. Mindy was inspired to become a volunteer Big Sister mentor after a Live with Kelly show regarding getting involved in the community to be a positive role model. Mindy has always enjoyed being with her several nieces and nephews and children of her friends. They respect her advice as she encourages them to do well in school and their activities. Because of her love for children, Mindy sought out Big Brothers Big Sisters for an opportunity to work with a child in her effort to help in the community. A work colleague has demonstrated the ability to empower even through adversity, which has inspired Mindy in her role as a Big Sister to a vulnerable child. Mindy feels her life has been “enriched” by a counselor and now she wants to share that positive experience with a child in need of support and guidance. Mindy ﬁnds being a positive role model is “rewarding” and appreciates being able to “inﬂuence a child in a positive way, and teach a child to respect others.” In February 2015, Mindy was matched with Little Sister, Tiffany. Tiffany was initially enrolled in the program in 2014, at age 7. At that time, she enjoyed coloring, drawing, riding a

bike, and playing ball. Her mother, Sam, described her as helpful, outgoing, and said she gets along well with other children. Sam wanted Tiffany to have the opportunity to do additional activities with another adult. Mindy, Tiffany, and Sam are all pleased with the match. Sam likes the positive experience for Tiffany and says, “They get along very well, and Tiffany enjoys spending time with Mindy. Tiffany really likes her Big Sister and feels comfortable being together.” Sam appreciates the positive impact on Tiffany, that she has someone to hang out with and to look up to. Tiffany reports, “Mindy is a lot of fun, and we have a lot in common. Mindy likes to do fun stuff. She is really nice, and we get along really good.” Mindy is thrilled with their match and keeps upbeat about their growing relationship. “Tiffany is a joy to be around and so thankful for every activity we do together. We are lucky to be matched up so well together.” Mindy and Tiffany continue to meet regularly, at least two times per month. They enjoy eating ice cream cones, hiking at the park, baking cupcakes, playing games, watching movies, roller skating, walking the dog, attending acrobatic competitions, doing puzzles, and so much more! Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke County is a non-proﬁt, United Way member, social service agency. The program specializes in matching children from at-risk families with adult volunteer Big Brothers and Sisters. These adults provide children with positive role modeling, as well as new educational and social activities.

My kids wonder why I’m grumpy Ryan’s World by Ryan Berry Managing Editor bluebagmedia.com

I don’t know it’s age RYANif BERRY MANAGING or if it’s because I’m grossEDITOR ly out of shape. Maybe it’s because it seems like I jump from one thing to the next for the kids and work. I think a mixture of all of the above have caused me to grow weary (yes, I’m being dramatic). My legs and back hurt. My wife keeps talking and my ears are too tired to listen (yep, I’m going with that reason). I’m a whiner and I’m not ashamed to say so. With kids in two different sports this fall and sporting events two or three times a week and sometimes multiple events on the same day, we’ve put a lot of miles on our cars and have endured blistering heat, pouring rain and what seemed like endless delays due to lightning. Throw a college visit or two

in for my senior and we haven’t had a free weekend since the end of June. You would think I would be excited about winter being right around the corner and the end of the fall sports season. I would love to say that I am, but I already know what’s ahead. Winter means the start of the indoor track season, which means even more miles on our car. Indoor track isn’t a little jaunt to a nearby school; it usually means at least an hour or two to some college campus. Last year we travelled to Cleveland and Akron on separate weekends and spent nearly every weekend in January in Ashland for training. Our kids are making us old and tired and then wonder why we are grumpy all the time. My wife hates that our oldest daughter is a senior and will probably leave us in less than a year to go off to college. Not me. I’m already searching Netﬂix to see what series and movies

I want to binge watch. I took a day off this week and actually had an opportunity to sit around and do nothing. I take that back. I didn’t do nothing – I did one load of laundry because I needed work clothes for the next day. I refused to clean house, cut grass, do dishes or answer the phone. I did go to my oldest daughter’s soccer game in the evening and was forced to sit in on a senior parents’ meeting because my wife said I had to. (She had to work and I needed to be an information gatherer. I didn’t dare make a decision because it probably would have been wrong.) My wife showed up halfway through the soccer game and got the information anyway. After the game my wife announced she needed to go in town to go clothes shopping for my daughter’s senior pictures. Even though I hate shopping with my wife, I volunteered to go. She looked at me and said, “You’re bored

and want to get out of the house, don’t you?” My response, “Yep.” Plus, it was 8 p.m. and the store closed at 9 p.m. I knew she had a time limit. They set a new record for shortest shopping trip. The next day was back to normal. I was rushing to get caught up with the work I missed the day before when I got a call from my oldest daughter, “My truck was making a noise, but it stopped. I was looking in my mirror to see if anything came off.” My response, “Where are you?” I went looking for her before she gave me an answer. I found her and there was a cop with his lights lit up behind her. She got pulled over because her muffler was dragging and causing sparks. She shed a few tears and tried to give the policeman an Arby’s receipt as proof of insurance, but she didn’t get a ticket. Temporarily fixing her muffler is 30-minutes of my life I will never get back.

Patients and providers burdened by cuts WASHINGTON, DC – On July 1, Medicare cut funding for home medical equipment by upwards of 50-80 percent. The consequences have severely impacted people with disabilities and chronic conditions who rely on medical equipment. Caseworkers and homecare providers are also feeling the effects of the cuts. The stories below have been collected by People for Quality Care and showcase the wide range of stakeholders whose daily living and ability to service patients has been limited as consequence of these drastic reductions in funding for vital home medical equipment and services. “I don’t have the money for my equipment” For Rita Thomas of Eclectic, Ala., Medicare cuts mean cutting back on her CPAP supplies needed to treat sleep apnea. Rita ﬁrst called People for Quality Care in early July with concerns about her inability to get her CPAP supplies now that her home medical equipment supplier is having to bill patient claims non-assigned; patients must front the difference in what Medicare pays and the cost of the equipment. As of late August, Rita reports that she still has not received her supplies because she is on a limited income and cannot afford them. She tried contacting Medicare, but she said they

were not helpful and simply offered to make note of the problem. “I am very concerned about paying up front for my equipment. My husband and I live on a limited budget and having the money to do so is not an option” “No one is taking Medicare anymore” Beneficiaries are not the only people burdened after Medicare’s funding cuts. Case managers and discharge planners like Kristie L. are having a hard time finding suppliers who still take Medicare patients. Kristie is a physical therapist and case manager from Leominster, Mass., who has called numerous HME providers to find equipment for her patient but has found no one in her area is taking Medicare. “With Medicare rate cuts and competitive bidding, I am really struggling to find

equipment for my patients. I have gone through all my regular channels, and no one is servicing Medicare patients anymore.” “We don’t want to turn patients away” “The cuts to HME are not just impacting Medicare patients, but Medicaid patients as well,” explains Cindy Coy, business ofﬁce manager, at Avera Health in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The hospital-based home medical equipment provider has already limited its service area because the reimbursement doesn’t cover the extended travel and personnel expenses. They recently had to turn away a pediatric patient in search of oxygen because the child was not in their coverage area. Coy says many hospital-based providers are following suit and shrinking their coverage areas. As a faith-based busi-

ness, turning away patients is not easy for Coy. “We do not want to turn patients away, but if we aren’t ﬁscally accountable, we won’t be able to take any patients at all. We are doing everything we can to cut costs. We are reviewing vendor contracts, looking at our delivery models, how we service patients – we are looking at everything.” If immediate action is not taken, the hardships experienced by Rita, Cindy and Kristie will continue. Congress has reconvened and will only be in session until the end of September. To advocate for preserved access to medical equipment, call and send a letter to your legislators asking for immediate legislative relief. Visit www.peopleforqualitycare.org to learn more and to send a letter to Congress about this important issue.

CHURCH & SOCIAL Still time to get Sweetheart Gala tickets GREENVILLE – Destination Known Missions Ministry of EUM Church in Greenville, Ohio is in its eleventh year partnering with the Potter’s House Association in Guatemala. Over the years, teams from EUM Church have built 16 homes for families that live in the garbage dump shanty communities. They have visited countless families in their homes to pray with them, and to share Jesus with them in real and practical ways by installing wood burning cook stoves, providing much needed food to families, and passing out Bibles. Destination Known wants to continue

building homes for families in the shanty communities; however, due to the increased cost of building supplies, funding these homes has become more difﬁcult. A Sweetheart Gala will be hosted by Destination Known with 100 percent of the proceeds being used to build homes for families living in the Guatemala City dump communities. This will be a great time to dress up and enjoy an evening of dinner and dancing, and treat your sweetheart to an evening out. This is an alcohol free event that will be held at Romer’s Catering in Greenville beginning at 7 p.m. on Oct.

14. There will also be a live auction with some great things to bid on. The cost is $35 per person. Tickets may be purchased at EUM Church or Romer’s Catering. If you are unable to attend but would like to make a donation, please make the check payable to EUM Church and mail to: EUM Church, 111 Devor St., Greenville, Ohio 45331, Attn: Cliff Rapier, and put “Guatemala Missions” in the memo line.

Sojourner Quartet

Pitsburg COB hosts Sojourner Quartet PITSBURG – The Pitsburg Church of the Brethren will host the Sojourner Quartet on Oct. 2, 6 p.m. Sojourner Quartet is a Christian music ministry based in Findlay. They began in 1991 as a contemporary Christian group playing their own instruments and writing many of the songs they performed. As their popularity spread, they began to play throughout the country. In 1998, the group went solely southern gospel. As their ministry grew, they shared the platform with many of today’s top southern gospel groups including Booth Brothers, Hoppers, Isaacs, Ivan Parker, Crabb Family, Tally Trio, Triumphant Quartet and

many more. Over the years, several songs released to southern gospel radio made the charts in the USA and in Europe. These four men are completely devoted to Jesus Christ not only through their music ministry, but through their personal lives. Their mission is to glorify God, the Father, by witnessing the gospel of His Son, Jesus Christ to as many people as possible, regardless of their denomination, through their music and personal testimony. The church is located at the west edge of Pitsburg at 8376 Pitsburg-Laura Road. A love offering will be accepted and refreshments will be served following the concert.

I want to thank everyone for their generosity and thoughtfulness I was shown at that difﬁcult time.

School Fair and Homecoming unite

What is ‘We are the Majority’? GREENVILLE – Many of us have heard the name “We are the Majority”, but what is it, exactly? We are the Majority is an after-school leadership program through Recovery and Wellness Centers of Midwest Ohio for 7th12th grade students with a focus on drug and alcohol free peer led prevention. Students help out the community through many activities during the year including afterschool study sessions for any 2nd-6th grader in Darke County. The team has also designed and led Camp Lead summer camp, Majority’s Got Talent, Runday Funday, and Majority Art Classes. The unique component of this program is that it is comprised of all youth inspired activities that students feel impact our community with awareness and strength to create a brighter future for our community, especially for those of younger generations. Any student who is drug/alcohol free is able to be a part of this program. There are currently over 50 active teens involved, although anyone who is drug/alcohol free is part of the Majority just by not partaking in substance use. This program aligns with the state We are the Majority Initiative began by Governor Kasich. Students involved come from various backgrounds. Some include students who come from an alcohol and substance abuse free home and have had little to no contact with peer usage, others have dealt with peer pressure and have a strong desire to be drug/alcohol free, yet others have per-

sonally been impacted by the negative situations surrounding use in their own home. No matter the reasoning, all have a strong commitment to help others not have to go through the outcomes of drug and alcohol use, abuse, and addiction. To help combat the issues within the county, the adult leader, Kelly Harrison from Recovery and Wellness has participated in a Strategic Prevention Framework on youth led prevention through the state of Ohio and is now beginning to complete a SPF with the youth in the community to help make community change in this area. Kelly also provides ongoing prevention education in area school districts. Some upcoming projects the group has planned in addition to study sessions, Main St. bridge grafﬁti clean up, and the SPF include volunteering with the Haunted Library Project with Gateway Youth Programs, a Majority Movie Night, Community Awareness Majority outdoor event, as well as other drug/alcohol free events to engage youth with alternative activities. To learn more about study sessions for 2nd-6th graders or to be a teen leader for We are the Majority please contact Kelly Harrison at 937-5486842 or ask for an invite to the Darke County We Are The Majority Face Book page.

Lady Hawks squeak by Tri-Village in CCC matchup GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

NEW MADISON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tri-Village and Mississinawa Valley went down to the wire requiring a game three overtime and OT to decide the winner of the ďŹ fth and ďŹ nal volleyball game. When the dust had settled, the Lady Hawks had a 3-2 win taking game ďŹ ve by a 17-15 score. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My girls like to play volleyball, so any chance we get, we just go to ďŹ ve and have fun with it,â&#x20AC;? chuckled an exhausted MV coach Billie Hunt following the match. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My hitters were looking good tonight and I really couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more proud of them except it would have been nice to do it in three.

MV ran away with the ďŹ rst set opening an 8-0 lead before winning game one 25-11. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a couple girls injured,â&#x20AC;? said Burkhart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a whole new lineup and a whole new setter. The Lady Patriots rebounded to win game two by a 25-18 score and had to extend game three to win 27-25. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First game we were learning that new rotation, getting a feel for that new rotation and our new setter,â&#x20AC;? said Burkhart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once we got comfortable with that, it was game on for us.â&#x20AC;? Game three had TriVillage racing out to an 8-2 lead only to have the Lady Hawks battle back with the game seeing 12 ties with the ďŹ nal tie coming at 25-25 with the New Madison girls taking a 2-games-to-1 lead.

The set would see three more ties, 20-20, 21-21 and 22-22 before MV would pull out the win and even the match at 2-2 with a 25-23 game four win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In that fourth set it was real tight,â&#x20AC;?

PITSBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Storms earlier in the season forced Franklin Monroe Lady Jets Soccer into an unusual situation this week. The team was forced to play on back-to-back nights. On Monday, the Lady Jets hosted Lehman Catholic in a game rescheduled after storms on Sept. 10 forced the cancellation. The following night the ladies went on the road for the ďŹ rst time this season with a match-up against Botkins. The Jets were able to come away with a split of the two games. The loss came at the hands Lehman Catholic, 3-0. Lehman is ranked third in the state in division three. The Lady Jets played its entire team back trying to prevent scoring opportunities. This season, the Lady Cavaliers soccer team has averaged nearly six goals a game; regularly scoring eight or more goals. They have yet to give up a goal this year. FMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategy worked for the ďŹ rst 57-minutes of the game, but a frustrated Lehman ďŹ nally found an

opportunity and took advantage to go on top. Coach Scott Howell admitted he would have been pleased with a tie against a team of Lehmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s caliber. The goal forced FM to abandon the defensive strategy and go on offense. The strong Cavalier team limited the Lady Jets to three shots on goal. Seven of the top 10 teams in division three womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer are private schools. The Lady Jets rebounded on Tuesday night with a 4-2 victory over Botkins. The Lady Trojans got on the board ďŹ rst with 14:34 left in the ďŹ rst half, but Franklin Monroe continued to pressure the Botkins defense and was able to get even before the end of the half. With 3:43 remaining in the half, freshman Chloe Brumbaugh found the back of the net. FM and Botkins would continue to stymie each othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offenses for the ďŹ rst 20-minutes of the second half. Nearly 22-minutes into the second half, the Lady Jetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leading scorer, Bryanna Diceanu gave FM the lead. Three minutes later a foul in the penalty

box put Diceanu at the line for a penalty kick. The successful kick gave the Jets a lead they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t relinquish. However, Botkins would get a free kick following a penalty just outside the penalty box. The kick came off a Franklin Monroe defender and the Lady Trojans took advantage of the rebound for the score and narrowed the margin to 3-2. With 49-seconds remaining in the game, Franklin Monroeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shelby Bowser broke away from the last Botkins defender to go one-on-one with the home teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keeper. As she squirted the ball past the goalie, Bowser was grabbed and taken to the ground. The result was a penalty kick, which Bowser successfully made to give the Lady Jets a 4-2 victory. Franklin Monroe moved to 5-2 on the season, but the team is in the middle of its toughest test of the season. They host Miami East on Thursday and will travel to Anna and Bethel next week. All three teams are ranked in the top 10 in the Miami Valley. Miami East is eighth, Anna is seventh and Bethel is ninth.

SUNshine 5K race raises funds to serve community BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The SUNshine 5K run featured a road race in Greenville. “We are presenting the SUNshine race today for the Darke County Foundation,” said race supervisor and Foundation Trustee Kent Zechar. “The community is fantastic, the public has been great, the city of Greenville and all of our sponsors have been absolutely excellent…all goes to charities.” A weather forecast predicting overcast skies and rain turned to sunny skies as the participants lined up for the start of the race. “Given the dismal forecast, we feel very fortunate that the sun is shining at the start of the race,” said Darke County Foundation Executive Director Christy Prakel, “so the SUNshine 5K broke through the clouds.” “We have more than

expected to register for the event this year because so many people wanted to support organizations that they feel strongly about,” continued Prakel. Todd Reish, director of Brethren Retirement Community (BRC) Pastoral Ministry opened the day’s events with prayer followed by Dr. Jesse Heisey, a resident of BRC playing the National Anthem on his harmonica. “It heartwarming,” Prakel said of the National Anthem. “I think a lot of people probably got goosebumps like I did that we had a 95 year old resident of the BRC, Dr. Jesse Heisey perform the National Anthem.” The day’s racing started with a SUNshine Kids Fun Run followed by 390 entrants taking part in the adult 5K race. Bradford’s 28 year old Bobby Wiltshire took ﬁrst place overall with a time

17:39.8 while 29 year old Chelsea Halderman of New Paris finished first overall for the ladies with a time of 21:10.3. Brethren Retirement Community (BRC) President and CEO John Warner, running in the 55-59 age group finished the race 21st overall with a time of 24:04. “This is a very good cause,” said Warner. “A great community event. A lot of people volunteer to put this together. The Darke County Foundation does so much good in our community helping a lot of charities today. We are very appreciative of all the runners/walkers that came out, all the sponsors and everybody who organizes this event.” “We (BRC) feel it is important for us to give back, to support the community that supports us,” added Warner. “We are very appreciative to be involved.”

Proceeds from the local event support four nonproﬁt organizations and proves scholarships for Darke County students. “Registration money is supporting those organizations,” said Prakel. “It is also a very strong statement

about the commitment that our community has to its non-proﬁt organizations and to the wellbeing of our community.” Not only does the Foundation receive funds from participant registration but in excess of $12,000 was re-

ceived from sponsors. “I would like to thank the board of trustees of the Darke County Foundation for their volunteer efforts,” said Prakel. “They are all volunteers and they have worked for months helping to organize the event.”

Wave seventh-graders down Troy FM boys play Seven Hills close in loss BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Greenville seventh grade football team added a win to their season record by defeating the Troy Trojans 20-12. “Great game…exciting,” said Greenville seventh grade coach Josh Gilmore. “I thought the fans were in it too.” Wave linebacker Ian Cromwell intercepted a Trojans pass at 4:35 in the first giving the Wave a first down at Troy’s 17 yard line only to have the visitors intercept a Greenville pass in the end zone at 3:24. Wyatt Trissel pulled in the Wave’s second interception of the game at 0:11 in the first giving the local boys a first down at their own 17 yard line. An Alex Baumgardner interception with 0:30 remaining in the second gave the Wave its third interception of the first half setting up an 70 yard touchdown pass from Hayden Bush to Trissel giving Greenville a 6-0 lead with 0:04 remaining in the first half of play. A Trojans Hail Mary pass was good for a 65 yard TD with 0:00 showing on the first half clock sending the teams to the

break tied. “Seventh grade football,” Gilmore said of the visitor’s late first half TD. “I have a safety…he wanted to make an interception. The smart play is to make the tackle right there but its seventh grade football.” Troy fumbled the ball away at 1:22 in the third only to have the Wave cough up the ball at 0:45 sending the teams to the final period of play tied 6-6. Facing a fourth down early in the final period, the Wave defense held with Greenville taking over first-and-ten from the Trojans’ 33 yard line. Jankowski scored a TD to give the Wave a 12-6 lead with an impressive 33 yard TD run. “Come a long way,” Gilmore said of his offense. “I preach to them at practice…you practice like you play. This week we had some pretty good practices.” Troy would answer with a five yard TD run at 4:22 with the Wave defense stopping the two point conversion attempt just inches short of the goal line to keep the game even at 12-12. Greenville started a drive at its own 35 yard line and moved the ball 65

yard with Jankowski scoring on a 21 yard run giving the Wave an 18-12 lead with 2:04 remaining. “The second half my offensive line played great,” said Gilmore. “Jared Hite, Issac Klosterman, Isaiah Gilmore, Jordan Gump and Truman Nicholas along with my tight end Nolan Curtis. I thought they play a great second half.” Jankowski made it a 20-12 score with a twopoint conversion run followed by the Wave picking up the win with a sack on a Trojans fourth down play giving the Wave a 20-12 GWOC North win. “It was a struggle but its Troy,” Gilmore said. “Anytime you beat Troy it’s a good thing. Those are games you mark down on the calendar.

PITSBURG – The Franklin Monroe Jets boys soccer team dropped their ﬁrst match of the season to an impressive Seven Hills Stingers soccer team. “You want tough games,” said FM Coach Danny Diceanu. “This is only going to make us better. It gives you an idea where you are and you think you’re somewhere and a game like this reminds you that maybe you’re not as good as you are or you’re not as bad as you are.” “A loss is a loss and you’re going to learn from it,” continued Diceanu. “Winning spoils you…hate that we do get beat but you learn from them.” “If the guys can take something away from today and understand that you still need to work hard and build on the stuff we’ve done, we’ll be alright,” added Diceanu. “Everybody is going to lose at some point. It’s what you do with what you loss.” The private Cincinnati school boasts students from more than 60 ZIP codes stretching across Southwestern Ohio and Northern Kentucky with more than $3 million in tuition assistance available each year for

attending students. “They are very physical and they are very vocal,” said Diceanu of Seven Hills. “They cover for each other and they speak very well on the ﬁeld.

MEMORIES OF THE PAST KAY BROWN’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 McVay’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.

Do you recognize this street? Maybe if you add some asphalt to the road and a few cars and trucks you might recognize Main Street in Versailles looking west from West Street. The photo is dated from 1908.

Although it was welcome sight when needed, the Union City, Ind. Fire Department has come a long ways since the days when horses pulled their equipment.

Although no longer a school, visitors to Palestine may still recognize this old school building.

The Pitsburg Church of the Brethren has witnessed remodeling over the years as evident by this undated photo of the church.

GREENVILLE – The “Switching Gears” Summer Youth Program through the Darke County Board of Developmental Disabilities (Darke DD) helps students focus on career exploration, employment preparation and life skills. The ﬁve week program ran Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from July 12 through Aug. 11 and was open to Darke County students, ages 14 and 15, who receive services from Darke DD. Most sessions were held at Edison State Community College’s Darke County Campus. Students participated in a variety of activities to help them build skills in communication and teamwork. Continuing to fund, coordinate and support a variety of programming to individuals with disabilities, this program is just one way Darke DD assists individuals with transition skills and with coordinating services between school, home and job-readiness training to help students develop a post-graduation plan.

During their ﬁrst week, students focused on communication by participating in hands on activities, listening to a guest speaker and completing a business tour. The guest speaker for week one was John Rediger. Rediger previously worked with Darke DD to assist in his job search and was more than happy to share his experiences of working at Kroger. On Thursday, the students enjoyed a tour of The Merchant House. Cassie Campbell, managing partner, and her team treated the students to a pizza the students topped themselves. While touring the Merchant House they learned about a variety of jobs in food service and what it takes to be successful in that ﬁeld. Teamwork was the focus of week two and students competed to build the tallest structure using marshmallows and spaghetti. Students learned the importance of working together and practicing clear communication to reach their goal. On

Thursday, students visited Brookdale Senior Living Solutions to learn more about job opportunities in the health care ﬁeld. Life skills and self-advocacy was the focus for week three. On Tuesday, students met in the OSU Extension Learning Center where they prepared their lunch. This activity taught them the importance of food safety, hygiene, kitchen cleanliness, using measurements and following a simple recipe. On Wednesday, Sue Huston, Darke DD Community Connections Coordinator, and Brett Brinley, self-advocate, shared with the students about the importance of advocating for oneself throughout their entire life. On Thursday, Kristen Alspaugh, employee relations manager, guided students through a tour of the Greenville Kroger store. Weeks four and ﬁve included more cooking classes at the OSU Extension Learning Center, more hands on learning

experiences and a tour of Whirlpool. The 2016 Switching Gears summer youth program has been a huge success for the students and staff alike. Darke DD could not have made this event a success without having wonderful partnerships with Edison State Community College, The Merchant House, Brookdale Healthcare, OSU Learning Center, The Kroger Co., Whirlpool, Marcos Pizza, Petermann Transportation and the Darke County Community as a whole. For all of your accommodations and support, Darke DD would like to give a huge thank you to all. Darke DD serves approximately 325 individuals with disabilities in various areas. For more information, visit www. darkedd.org and be sure to like them on Facebook. Those who would like to learn more may also contact Rodney Willis, Community First director at 459-4626 or rodneyw@ darkedd.org.

Seeking Mrs. Greenville for Ohio pageant PARKER, CO –The Mrs. Ohio America Pageant is now accepting applications from married women to represent Greenville as a State Finalist in the 2017 pageant being held on April 22, 2017 at the historic Knox County Memorial Theatre in Mt. Vernon. Applicants must be at least 18 years old, a resident of Ohio and U.S. citizen, and married at the time of the pageant to be considered. “We are looking for articulate, well-rounded,

beautiful married women with an interest in competing,” stated Emily Stark, director of the Mrs. Ohio America Pageant. “Our State Finalists represent married women of all ages, backgrounds and occupations. Some have children, many are involved in their community, and all of them are remarkable in their own way. A majority of the contestants have never participated in a pageant before so this is a great way to step out of their comfort zone and grow as a person. There is no age limit or height requirement and no talent performance.” continued Stark. “We believe that being a married woman and juggling all of life’s responsibilities is talent enough.” The Mrs. Ohio America Pageant is entering its 41st year of competition. The winner will represent Ohio at the Mrs. America Pageant held in Las Vegas, NV. For more information on the pageant or to apply, visit at www.mrsOHamerica.com or contact the Mrs. Ohio America ofﬁce at 303-593-1199.

Moving forward with Treasure Island project SUSAN HARTLEY

Little Ones to cater to moms and kids SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Tina Carroll always knew she wanted to own her own business, but wasn’t sure what direction she should go until she and her husband Chris became grandparents of six. Then the idea to open a children’s store was born. “Just knowing they don’t stay in stuff for a long time,” Carroll said of growing babies and children, led to making her dream come true. On Aug. 15, Carroll opened The Little Ones, located at 311B S. Broadway in Greenville. “We looked at several locations downtown,” she said, ﬁnally settling on the space, painting, laying carpet and creating dressing rooms. The name just “popped” into Carroll’s head one day while she was driving to work. Carroll also works as a district manager for Steak & Shake. “I was going to call it Baby Bump,” she noted. “But I didn’t want people to think we only carried baby stuff.” The inventory – which Carroll has been purchasing since last winter – includes baby clothing and

accessories, maternity wear, clothing for children through size 10-12, blankets, children’s décor, toys, book and other childfriendly items. Some of the inventory at The Little Ones came from a buy-out she purchased from a children’s store in Lima, Carroll said. The Little Ones store also has a play area for children to keep themselves occupied while parents are shopping. Carroll is currently accepting donations, she said, and has plans to start selling on consignment at the ﬁrst of the year. “It will be a one-time buy-out, not consignment on a monthly basis,” she explained about her consignment policy. “Everything is personally washed and sanitized,” Carroll said of the used items in the store. “We currently have a good variety of new and used items.” Carroll’s daughter, Markella Beisner assists in running the day-to-day operation of the store. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. “I thought about it for so long,” Carroll said of her new venture. “I wanted to open a business for so long, just not sure what kind.”

GREENVILLE– Friends of the Greenville Parks met Thursday, Sept. 22 to formally organize, electing a slate of ofﬁcers and choosing committee members. Group organizer, Jenny Clark was unanimously elected president with Michelle Drees as vice-president, Jane Carroll as secretary, and Kent Holmes as treasurer. Committees formed include publicity and marketing, fundraising, grants, corporate sponsorships and a master plan committee. Serving as project manager for upcoming park projects, including the renovation of Treasure Island in the city park, will be retired contractor Tom Lucas. The group, formed as community concerns were being voiced about the condition of Treasure Island, is moving forward with their plans to qualify as a 501c3 non-proﬁt organization. With plans to begin the Treasure Island project next spring, Friends of Greenville City Parks will be conducting a fundraising campaign through the

next several months. Also discussed Thursday was a 2013 proposal for Treasure Island renovation that group member Linda Zerkle called “very ambitious.” Clark agreed, stating that whatever changes take place on the island need to be “something the city can care for. We’ll be starting in May 2017 with whatever money we have.” Tom Allread suggested the group consider the original name of the lake surrounding Treasure Is-

Aid Way, Greenville. The group will approve its bylaws and mission statement at that time, as well as discus upcoming fundraising efforts. Those wishing to donate to the group may do so by mailing Friends of the Greenville City Parks, P.O. Box 11, Greenville, 45331.

Illumination dodges rain for 10th concert RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The rains may have disrupted some of the pre-concert events for the 10th annual Illumination: Light in the Darke Festival, but the clouds moved out before the ﬁrst note was played in front of the Grandstand at the Darke County Fairgrounds on Sept. 17. The event featured several top contemporary Christian music artists to delighted fans. Well over 1,000 persons walked through the gate to enjoy the music and fellowship. KJ-52 kicked off the main concert and got the audience moving with his

hip-hop/rap style of Christian music. Blanca, formerly of Group 1 Crew, continued where KJ-52 and wowed concert goers with her music as a soloist. Building 429 was the festival ﬁrst headliner of the evening. They are wellplayed on Christian radio and the audience sang along with nearly every song the band performed. The main headliner for the evening was Matthew West. Known for his praise and worship style, West also showed he could put on a fun, fast-paced show. He brought two lucky fans on stage to share their funnel cake and French fries with him. At times confetti was ﬂying and at other

Matthew West went into the audience to meet and sing with some of his fans.

times the audience lifted their hands in worship. While the weather may have affected attendance, Illumination Festival Committee members believe prayer moved the rain out of the area. This was the

second consecutive year rain affected the pre-concert events, but moved out before the main concert began. The Illumination Festival will return in 2017 for its 11th year.

County employees to see slight increase in insurance SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – The Darke County Commissioners approved a 1.3 percent increase for county employees’ health insurance for the coming year during their Sept. 19 regular meeting “We were both quite happy,” said commissioner Mike Stegall, including county business administrator John Cook, in his approval. Darke County insures employees through CEBCO – County Employee Beneﬁts Consortium of Ohio. Most other counties involved in the consortium are seeing a more than 13 percent increase in beneﬁt costs, Cook noted. “The industry standard is a 20 percent” increase,

Cook explained. Both Stegall and Cook said one reason for such a slight increase for the coming year are the preventative and wellness opportunities offered through the county and CEBCO. “A lot of it has to do with the wellness plans. A lot of workers have bought into the plans,” Stegall said. County employees may opt to earn points by participating in health and wellness programs, including preventative medical testing and physicals, Lunch and Learn activities as well as take advantage of a ﬁtness room provided by a grant from CEBCO. No county funds were used for the ﬁtness equipment or other wellness programs. The county also will host a Health and Wellness Fair in October, which employees may earn points.

“Employees are taking ownership of their personal wellness,” Cook said. The county will continue to offer its employees both a “low plan and basic plan,” Cook said. “We don’t see a need to change” plan designs. The increase will become effective Jan. 1, 2017. On Sept. 22, commission approved an agreement between the Darke County LEPC and Darke County Homeland Security & Emergency Management. The terms of the yearly agreement include the LEPC paying $4,000

to the EMA for a number of services, including preparing minutes, announcements and mailings; coordinate agendas for emergency response; storage of information for the LEPC; prepare and send budget reports to state ofﬁcials; process requests for public right to know act; and provide the LEPC space on the county’s website. The yearly agreement is normally approved at this time of year, said Mindy Saylor, Darke County EMA/LEPC Director, so the county can take advantage of incoming grants.

Find Your Reason

This week, I have been following the Paralympics in Rio via social media. There have been amazing feats of physical accomplishment. In one event, blind soccer players play in an indoor court and you would not know they are blind because their skills are so advanced. Swimmers who are amputees race in the pool, swimming faster than I could dream to swim. Did you know there is a table tennis competitor from Egypt who lost his arms in an accident at 10 years old? He plays with the racket in his mouth. There have been times in my life that I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t felt like moving much. Maybe you can relate. I feel sorry for myself and need a swift kick in the pants to get moving. In those moments, I am looking for motivation. So why do some people who have such seemingly overwhelming physical odds against them accomplish such amazing things as athletes while I, and others, have waited to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;motivated?â&#x20AC;? When I look at â&#x20AC;&#x153;motiva-

Diana Unger

Personal Trainer tion,â&#x20AC;? I used to think it was important. I would wait for it to appear and make me feel like running. Or lifting. Or going to the gym. Or eating better. Or quitting smoking. Yes, I did that at a point in my life. So I waitedâ&#x20AC;Śand waitedâ&#x20AC;Śand waited. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Motivationâ&#x20AC;? didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t visit. And I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change. Then it hit me: I just needed a reason to change. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need motivation. I needed a solid reason. My reason was my child. At the time, I only had 1 daughter. I wanted something better for her and I knew it was me that had to be the example. That was enough. In the ďŹ rst months, we stopped buying

soda pop and I started exercising a few days a week. Eventually, over many years, it became routine to get up, get things started for the day, exercise, continue with the day, sleep at night, wake up and repeat. It became â&#x20AC;&#x153;normal.â&#x20AC;? Even on days I am not â&#x20AC;&#x153;motivated,â&#x20AC;? I always have a good reason to keep doing this. Now, it is more about my long-term health. I want to watch my kids grow up and if they have children, I want to play with them. I want to live in my house with my husband as long as I can without fear of falling and breaking a hip. Science tells me that the chances of my staying independent as I age are greater if I keep a routine of doing aerobic activity most days of the week, strength train two+ days a week, and train for ďŹ&#x201A;exibility. I also need to eat right most of the time and limit alcohol and sugar intake. Do I always feel â&#x20AC;&#x153;motivatedâ&#x20AC;? to do these things? Nope. But I always have a reason. So these Paralympians that amaze me at every turn must have really great rea-

sons to do what they do. Maybe they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always motivated, but they can teach us a lesson about what we can accomplish if we just have a reason. This month, instead of a food recipe, I am including my â&#x20AC;&#x153;recipeâ&#x20AC;? for how I started to make changes in my health over the course of several years. I have great support from my husband, but he had never struggled with weight, so explaining why these changes were important to me â&#x20AC;&#x201C; someone who needed help getting healthy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was critical. Remember to check with your physician before starting an exercise/weight loss program. They know your medical history the best. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never too late to start an exercise program. You will see the beneďŹ ts in a very short time when done consistently. Diana Unger is a certiďŹ ed personal trainer located in Darke County, Ohio.

Recipe for Health Changes 1. Find your REASON(S)

write them down in a book somewhere.

2. Be honest with yourself about what is in the refrigerator and cabinet. Decide which one thing to change. Here are some ideas: eliminate soda pop, fruit juices, alcoholic beverages, or at least reduce by half to start.

3. Be honest with yourself about how often you go out to eat. Decide how to break that cycle if choosing healthier options at restaurants derails you.

4. Pick one thing to eat more of at home.

I chose leafy greens. Eat them at least once a day.

5. Start walking instead of sitting.

Make 10 minutes for it every day. Then increase what you do week on week.

6. Think more positively about yourself. Do not say critical things about how you look out loud. Ever. And especially within earshot of children.

Why dental hygiene is essential for overall health The importance of maintaining clean teeth and healthy gums goes beyond having fresh breath and a white smile. Many people are surprised to discover that oral hygiene plays an integral role in overall health. Research indicates that oral health mirrors the condition of the body as a whole. Also, regular dental visits can alert dentists about overall health and

pinpoint if a person is at a risk for chronic disease. An oral health check-up also may be the ďŹ rst indication of a potential health issue not yet evident to a general medical doctor. HEART DISEASE According to the Academy of General Dentistry, there is a distinct relationship between periodontal disease and conditions such as heart disease and stroke. Joint teams at the Univer-

sity of Bristol in the United Kingdom and the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin, Ireland, found that people with bleeding gums from poor dental hygiene could have an increased risk of heart disease. Bacteria from the mouth is able to enter the bloodstream when bleeding gums are present. That bacteria can stick to platelets and subsequently form blood clots. This interrupts the ďŹ&#x201A;ow of blood

to the heart and may trigger a heart attack. Brushing and ďŹ&#x201A;ossing twice daily and rinsing with mouthwash can remove bacteria and keep gums healthy. FACIAL PAIN The OfďŹ ce of the Surgeon General says infections of the gums that support the teeth can lead to facial and oral pain. Gingivitis, which is an early stage of gum disease, as well as advanced gum disease, affects

Many parents recall being tested for head lice at the beginning of each school year when they were children. While those tests might be fresh on the minds of parents as they prepare to send their children back to school, moms and dads may not know much about head lice and the threat lice poses to youngsters. WHAT ARE HEAD LICE? According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, head lice are parasitic insects that can be found close to the scalp, most often on the head, eyebrows and eyelashes. While head lice donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spread disease, they do feed on blood several times per day. WHO IS MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO HEAD LICE? Head lice are more com-

mon in close, overcrowded living conditions, which may be one reason why schoolchildren who spend their days in the relatively close conďŹ nes of classrooms tend to be vulnerable to head lice infestations. In fact, the CDC estimates that as many as 12 million head lice infestations occur each year in children between the ages of 3 and 11 in the United States alone. Adults are not immune to head lice, though they may be less likely than children to suffer an infestation. HOW DO HEAD LICE SPREAD? Contrary to popular belief, head lice cannot hop or ďŹ&#x201A;y. Head lice move by crawling, and they can be spread in various ways. According to HeadLice.org, head lice can spread whenever there

is direct contact of the head or hair with an infested individual. Head lice also can spread when an infested person shares personal articles, including hats, pillows, towels, brushes, hair ties, and helmets, with someone who is not infested. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF HEAD LICE INFESTATIONS? Schoolchildren are typically tested for head lice at the beginning of each school year, and such tests may uncover an infestation before kids even begin to exhibit any symptoms. But kids can be infested with head lice, which can live up to 30 days on a human, at any time of year, so parents should be on the lookout for the following symptoms of head lice: Âˇ Tickling feeling of something moving in the hair Âˇ Excessive itching of the scalp, which may be the result of an allergic reaction to bites of the head louse Âˇ DifďŹ culty sleeping, as head lice are most active in the dark Âˇ Head sores that result from scratching and may lead to infections caused by bacteria found on the infected personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skin HOW CAN I REDUCE MY CHILDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S RISK FOR HEAD LICE? Head lice are easily spread during the school year because kids spend so much time in cramped quarters with their friends and

classmates. But parents can encourage their youngsters to take certain protective measures that can reduce their risk of being infested with head lice. Âˇ Teach kids to avoid sharing certain items. Teaching kids to share can be important in their development as human beings, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that parents teach kids to avoid sharing combs, brushes, hair ties and other accessories, hats, helmets, coats, scarves, towels, and earbuds. Head lice can attach themselves to such items, making kids vulnerable to infestation when these items are shared. Âˇ Avoid storing clothing in common areas. Coats, scarves and hats hung in common areas are vulnerable to head lice infestation, as lice can crawl from item to item, spreading infestations along the way. While the CDC notes that spreading head lice through inanimate objects is uncommon, it can occur. Teach youngsters to keep their clothing in their own lockers at school, and encourage educators to make separate hooks available to each student to reduce the risk of spreading infestations among classmates. Head lice is most often discussed at the dawn of a new school year, but head lice infestations can occur at any time. Learn more about head lice at www.HeadLice. org

more than 75 percent of the American population. Dental decay can lead to its own share of pain. Maintaining a healthy mouth can fend off decay and infections, thereby preventing pain. PANCREATIC CANCER In 2007, the Harvard School of Public Health reported a link between gum disease and pancreatic cancer. In the ongoing study, 51,000 men were followed and data was collected beginning in 1986. The Harvard researchers found that men with a history of gum disease had a 64 percent increased risk of pancreatic cancer compared with men who had never had gum disease. The greatest risk for pancreatic cancer among this group was in men with recent tooth loss. However, the study was unable to ďŹ nd links between other types of oral health problems, such as tooth decay, and pancreatic cancer. ALZHEIMERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S DISEASE Various health ailments, including poor oral health, have been linked to a greater risk of developing Alzheim-

erâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease. In 2010, after reviewing 20 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worth of data, researchers from New York University concluded that there is a link between gum inďŹ&#x201A;ammation and Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease. Followup studies from researchers at the University of Central Lancashire in the United Kingdom compared brain samples from 10 living patients with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to samples from 10 people who did not have the disease. Data indicated that a bacterium - Porphyromonas gingivalis - was present in the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brain samples but not in the samples from the brains of people who did not have Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. P. gingivalis is usually associated with chronic gum disease. As a result of the study, experts think that the bacteria can move via nerves in the roots of teeth that connect directly with the brain or through bleeding gums. These health conditions are just a sampling of the relationship between oral health and overall health. Additional connections also have been made and continue to be studied

BPW holds What a Girl Wants evening

The Versailles CH&D Depot was relocated and converted into an auto repair shop.

Last Monday features the local railroad VERSAILLES – Can you hear the sound of the train whistle? Or perhaps you can see the black smoke curling up in the autumn blue sky? Maybe you know the engineer as he waves to you as the friendly little train makes its way through the eastern farms of Darke County. This would be the life 100-years ago along the route of the famed CH&D (Cincinnati, Hamilton, & Dayton) railroad. This train making its way through the farmland with stops in Versailles, Yorkshire, and Osgood was like a visit with old friends.

Bob Luttmer, resident train enthusiast, along with the help of expert researcher, Sarah Magoto, will tell the story of what people today said was the local version of the old 1960’s TV show, “Petticoat Junction.” A table of CH&D memorabilia will also be on display for all to enjoy during the program. They invite you to join them for their September Last Monday program on Sept. 26 at the Versailles Area Museum. Boarding is at 1 p.m. to relive the days of the little train that could.

Wright State reaching out to ITT students DAYTON – Advisers in Wright State University’s Transfer and Nontraditional Student Center are reaching out to ITT students and graduates to let them know about transfer options to Wright State. “Wright State is a perfect ﬁt for students in transition from area colleges,” said Charles Long, executive director of the Transfer and Nontraditional Student Center at Wright State. “When we reached out to Antioch students in transition back in 2008 we were able to really help students who needed a local solution.” One immediate option ITT students should consider is to take the Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) route. Wright State faculty approved a PLA policy in 2015 that gives ITT students and graduates an opportunity to have their coursework assessed for meeting the learning outcomes of speciﬁc courses taught at Wright State. “The assessment is conducted by exam or portfolio review,” said Carl Brun, assistant vice president

mothers the information, confidence, and skills needed to successfully initiate and continue breastfeeding their babies. “This recognition is not just significant for the Reid Health team members who have worked so hard to obtain it - it is also a wonderful distinction for our region. We join a limited number of hospitals and birth centers to receive this designation,” said Craig Kinyon, Reid President/ CEO. “And this is just one significant milestone in major enhancements we have made in the birthing experience at Reid Health.” The core of a Baby-Friendly®

initiative is the “Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding,” a bundle of sciencebased practices established by the WHO and UNICEF as global criteria to improve breastfeeding rates. The criteria are also endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics. The designation also indicates that besides breastfeeding, the facility supports and promotes the importance of mother and infant bonding. At Reid Health, it means making sure mothers have immediate skin-to-skin contact with their newborn, which is believed to help activate the baby’s immune sys-

The Baby-Friendly® designation began in 1991 in response to rising infant mortality rates around the world, and is sponsored by the World Health Organization and United Nations Children’s Fund. To become Baby Friendly, a hospital must demonstrate its commitment to a whole philosophy of care that helps women understand the beneﬁts of breastfeeding and be successful at it. LEGAL NOTICE

Darke County YMCA hosts diabetes education classes

GREENVILLE – The Darke County YMCA, in conjunction with the Wayne Healthcare Foundation, the Greenville Rotary Club, and local health professionals, is pleased to offer free diabetes education classes beginning Oct. 6. The YMCA encourages residents of Darke County to be aware of their risk for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes and steps they can take to manage the disease once diagnosed. Currently, nearly 26 million Americans have diabetes and one in three (79 million) individuals have prediabetes, a condition where blood glucose is elevated, but not

high enough for a diabetes diagnosis. The nation’s struggle with obesity and type 2 diabetes is no surprise, but the amount of people with prediabetes is a growing issue that can be prevented or delayed with lifestyle changes such as healthy eating and physical activity. People with prediabetes are at risk for not only developing type 2 diabetes, but cardiovascular diseases, stroke and other conditions. “The YMCA of Darke County recognizes that changing one’s lifestyle can be daunting, therefore, our free, eight-week course will give you the support

According to DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan, “DCCA is grateful for Greenville VFW Post 7262’s sponsorship, which helps enable our efforts to provide culturally enriching experiences for the citizens of our community.” VFW Post 7262 was organized in May 26, 1946 by 208 founding members. In 1975 the Post moved to its current location that is owned by the Post. In 1987, the Veteran Memorial Park was established. Besides the Post members, the Post is fortunate to also include Men’s Auxiliary, Ladies Auxiliary and the Booster members. After 70 years, the Post is still giving back to the community and serving fellow veterans. Darke County Center for the Arts will opened

its 2016-2017 season at St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville on Sept. 24 with Loren and Mark, guitarists whose varied repertoire crosses genres, appealing to fans of pop, bluegrass, western, and jazz music.

Butterﬂy Monitoring

GREENVILLE – Darke County Parks needs help. Butterfly habitat is declining, and scientists need to monitor their populations very closely. Every Friday at 2 p.m. through October, join a naturalist to hike a pre-set path and record all the butterflies observed. These numbers will then be sent on to the Ohio Lepidopterists for scientific study. There’s no need to be an expert. A staff member will be present for the hike, and field guides will be provided. Hikes will occur as long as temperatures are above 60 degrees without rain. For more information, contact the Nature Center at 548-0165 or email info@ darkecountyparks.org.
