WEEKEND EDITION - MARCH 10, 2019

THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF THE GREAT DARKE COUNTY FAIR!

Night in Hollywood dedicated to Brewer LINDA MOODY

CORRESPONDENT

GREENVILLE – Last Saturday night’s “A Night in Hollywood” will be one to remember for years to come. Dara Buchy and her Supply Chain Management students hosted the event at Greenville High School for the ﬁfth consecutive year to support Special Olympics. Co-hosts for the gala were John Whirledge and Sam Ploch. Buchy said this unique event puts the spotlight on the artistic talents of the Darke County Special Olympians, who were in attendance. “This event was created for a Business Professionals of America Presentation Management Team competition ﬁve years ago,” Buchy said. “The founding students were brave enough to take their dream to a real event. Why is this so amazing? Because we are on track to surpass 38,000 total dol-

lars raised since its inception. Every penny stays in our county and has afforded the local organization an opportunity to expand programs, add camps and improve services. We are still tallying as more money is rolling in, so we are going with the $11,350.25, which was raised from March 1, 2018, through Feb. 28, this year. This is the reporting period for Business Professionals of America. We are still accepting donations to support the Darke County Special Olympics.” The show paid tribute to the late Elizabeth “EB” Brewer who died recently. The daughter of Rick and Kathy Brewer enjoyed performing. “EB has been a big part of our event as she performed two separate talent pieces every year,” Buchy said. “The students truly felt the excitement and positive energy EB brought in everything she did. She was certainly missed on Saturday night. We wanted her to be with every performer

on stage so to honor her memory her photo and artistic creations dance shirt was place with a bouquet of flowers on the stage.” Logan Emrick, who was one of the four girls who came up with the idea of such an event five years ago, was in attendance and spoke: “The turnout is incredible. The other three girls were unable to be here. Elizabeth Brewer is an amazing woman. Her energy was infectious She was extremely happy, something that meant so much. It is hard to not see her face on stage tonight. I hope you continue to do this every year.” “This is the first ‘Night in Hollywood’ Elizabeth missed,” said Elizabeth’s father. “She so loved to perform! They said some nice things. Several people took pictures. This was an emotional evening for me. Kathy was sick at home but watched a live video.” Another major highlight of the evening was the talent show, in which there were 19 acts. Greenville Jazz Scene

performed at the opening of the event, which was followed by the local Special Olympics stars arriving with paparazzi. Acts included piano solos, xylophone solo, dancing, cheerleading and special reading by Alice Messer on the book she wrote, “How to Live A Happy Life.” Additional highlights of the night included entertainment provided by three groups of the Taiko Drums of Mississinawa Valley and the Greenville Wavaires. Also featured were a silent art auction, refreshments, awards ceremony, “Who’s The Baby” contest of which there were four winners and door rafﬂes. Buchy said this event is life-changing. “Not only for the Special Olympians, but for every guest at the event,” she said. “The audience feeds the excitement of the performers and, as a result, experiences the emotions of pride and success. When you attend, you will laugh out loud, clap, cheer and even cry which

makes this unlike any other event.” Buchy said it is her students’ goal to have this event mirrored in counties across Ohio and America. “This was our biggest crowd ever,” she said. ‘We were setting up more chairs 10 minutes after we opened the doors. There were an estimated 300-plus people in attendance. With the enormous crowd on-hand, the performers were deﬁnitely more energized and many of them demonstrated their personal excitement through their electriﬁed

performances. I am so very proud of each and every Special Olympian who participated and attended. And for my Supply Chain Students, they amaze me every day. Each year I think the class cannot get any better and then nights like Saturday happen and see ﬁrst-hand the students working hard to truly make a difference. I am blessed to be working in a fabulous supportive community and lucky to have the most amazing students - Greenville High School, raising the best.”

Aktion Club busy serving the community SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – With a focus on serving the community and developing leadership skills, members of the Darke County Aktion Club are celebrating their many accomplishments. March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, with the ﬁrst full week of the month being designated as Aktion Club Week. As an arm of the local Kiwanis, Aktion Club provides an opportunity for those with disabilities to grow, serve and partner with other community organizations.

Sam Ploch, who serves as the Darke County Aktion Club’s president, says building community is “very important” and belonging to the Aktion Club is beneficial for its members “because you get to meet some very interesting people along the journey and enjoy life.” Opportunities that include participating in service projects, partnering with local organizations and running for a club office gives Aktion Club members the opportunity to grow their leadership skills, Huston said. “I’ve seen some of our shy people step up and run for office,” Huston said. Club members also plan all activities and service projects.

“We’re very member-driven,” Huston explained. “We’ve seen a lot of growth among our members.” Currently there are 49 Aktion Club members in Darke County with about 30 who regularly volunteer with the many service opportunities held throughout the year. The club just ﬁnished their annual February Food Drive, collecting 749 items to be divided between the Union City Help Center, Grace Resurrection Church and Ansonia Methodist Church, Ploch said. The drive was part of a ﬁve-county Aktion Club competition with the winner yet to be announced, said Huston.

Darke County Aktion Club members are ﬁnding ways to give back to their communities.

Huston is very pleased with the local support of the food drive, which included items being donated by Greenville Kiwanis Club members as well as donations made by those attending a couple local basketball games. Other ongoing service activities performed by the Darke County Aktion Club

City helps BRC with obtaining bonds RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The City of Greenville will help the Brethren Retirement Community (BRC) with its issuance of Healthcare Facilities Revenue and Refunding Bonds. BRC has typically worked the Darke County Commission for the bonds, but the county can only be the issuer of these types of bonds for healthcare facilities. The county will be the issuer of the bonds for Wayne HealthCare and its proposed expansion. According to Josh Grossman, bond counsel with Dinsmore & Shohl, pointed out the city would be issuing the

debt on behalf of the BRC. “It’s not the city’s debt. The city isn’t liable for payment thereof. It’s all repayable from Brethren Retirement Community’s revenues they pledged, therefore. The city is fully indemniﬁed, bears no risk and doesn’t affect your debt limitations,” he said. Council approved an ordinance approving the issuance of bonds for BRC. Geoff Surber addressed council asking for water and sewer be extended to a property he owns at 1348 Sater Street. According to Surber, the property is an island in Greenville Township surrounded by the city. He informally asked township trustees about annexation, but didn’t get a favorable

response due to the property not being suitable for job creation. Surber pointed out the property was once home to a rendering plant and he hopes to rehabilitate the buildings. “It is my intention to clean up the site and recondition the buildings,” he said. Water was previously available to the site from a pump house on Sebring Warner, but that pump house no longer operates. “I understand I would have to pay tap fees and I would pay a higher than normal rate (for utilities),” he said. Council President John Burkett assigned the issue to the Utilities Committee and asked for a report by the ﬁrst meeting in April. In other business, coun-

cil: * Approved an ordinance establishing nine redevelopment districts for the purpose of rehabilitation of historic buildings, creating jobs and encouraging economic development in commercial and mixed-use commercial and residential areas; * Approved several ordinances and resolutions in regards to the North Broadway Improvements Project, including authorizing the mayor to enter into contract with ODOT, urban paving project, for the purpose of resurfacing North Broadway; * Approved a resolution authorizing the safety/service director to purchase a Sharpe Mixer for the water department.

include preparing and delivering chemo bags to cancer patients. The bags are delivered to patients at the Dayton Physician’s ofﬁce in Greenville, providing an opportunity for club members to meet patients who are receiving the bags. “It’s inspiring to meet them and I hope they have a safe journey through their recovery,” Ploch said. “We hope for the best.” The Aktion Club recently partnered with Troy Sunshade to provide the chemo bags, which will feature the club’s name on the outside, Huston said. Other successful projects include partnering with the county’s solid waste district to collect bottle caps and lids to be turned into park benches. So far, Huston said, Aktion Club members have collected enough for 20 benches, which will be placed along the county’s bike path this summer. Club members also participated in adopting a family for Christmas and ﬁlled two children’s wagons with toys for Dayton Children’s Medical Center. Again this summer, Aktion Club will host FunDay Monday, partnering with

local agencies that service at-risk youth. The free day at Greenville Park includes food, games and activities. About 100 youth attended the 2018 event. Club members also participate in fundraisers to support their activities and service, Ploch said, including selling Mrs. Wick’s pies in the fall and a Trophy Nut and Candy sale, which is coming up soon. In return for its many accomplishments, the club has received several patches to be placed on the Greenville Kiwanis Club banner, including recognition for the club’s scrapbook, which won 1st place at the Kiwanis International level the Distinguished Club Patch for meeting club requirements. The Darke County Aktion Club was chartered Sept. 15, 2016, with 42 members. Current ofﬁcers include Ploch, Lauren Warner, vicepresident; Alice Messer, secretary, Ryan Burnett, treasurer; Sherrylonda Grigsby, representative.

POLICE BEAT

PAGE 2 March 10, 2019-The Early Bird, www.bluebagmedia.com

Woman cited for disorderly conduct during police investigation DISORDERLY

On March 3 an officer was dispatched to the 600 block of Riffle Avenue. The officer spoke with the complainant who said he was at Danny’s Place earlier in the evening and he allowed a woman he did not know to drive his vehicle home because he was too intoxicated at the time to drive. The complainant said the woman drove the vehicle to her address on Riffle Avenue and went inside with the keys. He said he just wanted his keys back and did not know

anyone at the residence. While speaking with the complainant outside the woman’s home, a window shattered from inside the residence and the officer could hear a female yelling. Miranda Cheadle came outside and approached the officer, who saw she had blood on her face, inside her mouth and on her hand. Cheadle also had slurred speech and had an odor of an alcoholic beverage, indicating that she was intoxicated. The officer asked Cheadle if she was assaulted and how she

got covered in blood. Cheadle said she was not assaulted and she tripped on objects inside the residence and fell into the window, cutting herself. Cheadle asked the officer to take her to the hospital. A Greenville Township medic was requested to the scene to check Cheadle for her injuries. Cheadle became agitated and told the officer she didn’t need the squad, but needed to go to the hospital. The officer explained to Cheadle the squad would take her to the hospital if needed. The officer asked Cheadle where the complainant’s car keys were and she said they were inside the residence. The officer went inside the residence with Cheadle to look for the keys. While inside the residence, Cheadle became disorderly and said she did not know where the keys were. Officers requested a male who was inside the house to assist with finding the keys. Cheadle began yelling how she hated the man who was helping look for the keys. Greenville Township rescue arrived on scene and when they entered the residence they witnessed Cheadle being disorderly. Cheadle was asked to exit the house and walk to the medic unit to get checked out. She eventually made her way to the medic and was transported to Wayne ER. The complainant was asked if he wished to press charges for theft as he did not receive his keys back. He said he did not. After arriving at Wayne, the officer was told by EMS personnel that Cheadle also was disorderly during transport to Wayne. Cheadle was cited for disorderly conduct at Wayne ER once Greenville Township Rescue transferred care to hospital staff. DUI

LOOK FOR PUZZLE ANSWERS IN CLASSIFIEDS

On March 2 an officer observed Kenneth Rose operating a vehicle southbound on North Broadway Street near Medallion Drive. Rose crossed over the solid white line on the right side of the road leaving his marked lane of travel. The officer activated his overhead emergency lights to conduct a traffic stop. While turning onto Spring Street the defendant failed to use his turn signal then pulled over at the corner of Spring Street and West Maple Avenue. As the defendant pulled over, he struck the curb before coming to a stop. When the officer made contact with Rose, he could smell a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person. Rose also had bloodshot and glassy eyes. Rose was very slow to respond to the officer’s questions and his speech was very

slurred to the point that it was hard to understand him. When asked, Rose denied drinking alcohol. The officer asked the defendant if he would perform a field sobriety test, to which he agreed. As the defendant stepped out of the vehicle he was very unsteady on his feet and swayed when standing still. Before the officer could begin the test, Rose stated he wanted to skip the whole thing. When asked why, Rose said “my lawyer told me always do not take the test.” When an officer asked Rose if he knew where he was, he responded he was on Wayne Street, even though he was on Spring Street. Rose was placed under arrest for OVI and transported him to the Greenville Police Department, where he refused to take a breath test. Officers learned the defendant was under an ALS suspension from an OVI from Feb. 16, 2019 to Feb. 16, 2024, and had prior OVI convictions in 2016, as well as in 2013, 2009, 2006 and 2005. The defendant was transported to the Darke County Jail where he was incarcerated on no bond. PHYSICAL CONTROL

On March 4 an officer was dispatched to the 200 block of Birt Street (South Towne Laundry) in reference to an agency assist for an unresponsive female slumped over in the driver seat of a running vehicle. The officer observed a woman slumped over while sitting in the driver’s seat of a vehicle that was running. The doors to the vehicle were locked, so the officer knocked on the driver’s window to get her attention. Eventually the woman sat up and the

officer could see she was sweating profusely while it was 8 degrees outside. After yelling at the officer, the woman slumped back over. When the officer knocked on the window again, the woman sat up, pushed her foot on the brake and grabbed the shifter as if she was going to try and drive off. The officer pulled his gun from its holster, deployed it to the ground, and ordered the woman to unlock the doors. After ordering her several times, she finally hit the unlock button and the officer opened her door, reached in, shut the vehicle off and placed the keys on the roof of the vehicle. The officer asked her what was going on and she said she missed “the drive.” The woman kept repeating this over and over until the officer eventually figured out she drove to Greenville from Celina and missed a turn back to U.S. 127 northbound. While speaking to the woman, who was identified as Lori Lecompte from Celina, the officers could see her pupils were pinpoint, her speech slurred and once she exited the vehicle she was very unsteady on her feet. When asked, Lecompte said she was a methamphetamine user and she used the day before but had not slept in three days. She also said she was on the end of a five-day meth bender. Lecompte was treated on the scene by Greenville Township Rescue and she agreed to take sobriety tests. While explaining one of the tests, Lecompte kept nodding off and could not pay attention to the instructions. The officer tried several times before moving on to the next test. After several attempts

to complete the sobriety tests, Lecompte was placed under arrest for physical control and transported to GPD, where she failed a breath test. Lecompte was asked to provide a urine sample and she agreed. After several minutes in the bathroom, Lecompte dropped the specimen cup into the toilet. She was marked as a refusal for the urine sample, placed under an ALS suspension, and transported to the jail where she was incarcerated for physical control and held with a bond $1,525. She was incarcerated due to her heavy methamphetamine use. While at the jail, Lecompte told staff she was having trouble breathing so Greenville Township Rescue was called out to transport her to Wayne HealthCare to be medically cleared. The ofﬁcer arrived at the jail and followed the squad to the hospital. Lecompte was seen in the emergency room and was cleared to be incarcerated. The ofﬁcer transported her back to the DCSO jail and released her to the jail staff. EARLY BIRD POLICY

Put Together A Professional Team to Help You Reach Your Goals As you work toward achieving your goals in life, you will need to make moves that contain financial, tax and legal elements, so you may want to get some help – from more than one source. Specifically, you might want to put together a team comprised of your financial advisor, your CPA or other tax professional, and your attorney. Together, this team can help you with many types of financial/tax/legal connections. For starters, you may decide, possibly upon the recommendation of your financial advisor, to sell some investments and use the proceeds to buy others that may now be more appropriate for your needs. If you sell some investments you’ve held for a year or less and realize a capital gain on the sale, the gain generally will be considered short-term and be taxed at your ordinary income tax rate. But if you’ve held the investments for more than a year before selling, your gain will likely be considered long-term and taxed at the lower, long-term capital gains rate, which can be 0%, 15% or 20%, or a combination of those rates. On the other hand, if you sell an investment and realize a capital loss, you may be able to apply the loss to offset gains realized by selling other, more profitable investments and also potentially offset some of your ordinary income. So, as you can see, the questions potentially raised by investment sales – “Should I sell?” “If so, when?” “If I take some losses, how much will they benefit me at tax time?” – may also be of importance to your tax advisor, who will need to account for sales in your overall tax picture. As such, it’s a good idea for your tax and financial advisors to communicate about any investment sales you make. Your tax and financial advisors also

may want to be in touch on other issues, such as your contributions to a retirement plan. For example, if you are self-employed or own a small business, and you contribute to a SEP-IRA – which is funded with pretax dollars, so the more you contribute, the lower your taxable income – your financial advisor can report to your tax advisor (with your permission) how much you’ve contributed at given points in a year, and your tax advisor can then let you know how much more you might need to add to move into a lower tax bracket, or at least avoid being bumped up to a higher one. Your financial advisor will be the one to recommend the investments you use to fund your SEP-IRA. Your financial advisor can also help you choose the investment or insurance vehicles that can fund an estateplanning arrangement, such as an irrevocable living trust. But to establish that trust in the first place, and to make sure it conforms to all applicable laws, you will want to work with an attorney experienced in planning estates. Your tax professional may also need to be brought in. Again, communication between your various advisors is essential. These are but a few of the instances in which your financial, tax and legal professionals should talk to each other. So, do what you can to open these lines of communication – because you’ll be one who ultimately benefits from this teamwork. Edward Jones, its employees and financial advisors cannot provide tax or legal advice. You should consult your attorney or qualified tax advisor regarding your situation.

Goodbye and thank you 4-H MOLLY E. HUNT

Ohio 4-H Teen of the Year

I have never enjoyed goodbyes, and I imagine most people feel the same. I have had a blast sharing the 4-H world through this column over the last year. However, this is the one column that I have dreaded because it means my time as a 4-H member has come to close. Typically, I write about the opportunities 4-H provides for youth and all the different aspects of the program, very rarely mentioning my own personal story but how can I pass up a chance to talk about the largest aspect of my life for the past 12 years. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not quite sure how one can sum all those up in a couple hundred words, but I will give it a shot, here is my 4-H story. Growing up I never felt comfortable in my own skin. I consistently tore myself down. When I reached high school, these thoughts began to grow stronger and I truly lacked a basic sense of conďŹ dence on the inside. But I truly believe that 4-H is the reason I am living and thriving today. I grew up in a small town in Darke County, Ohio. My parents signed me up for 4-H when I was in the second grade. For the ďŹ rst few years 4-H was just another activity to me, but that all changed when I reached high school. In high school, I began to truly see what 4-H could offer me. From that day on I made my involvement with the 4-H program deliberate and extensive as I joined every activity I could. One of those opportunities was to become an Ohio 4-H Health Hero. This program was my saving grace. Through this program, I traveled to Washington D.C where I attended the National 4-H Healthy Living Summit, I learned all about aspects of health at a time where I felt like I was everything but a health advocate. As I grew healthier, my conďŹ dence grew more and more as I learned that progress was what conďŹ dence was all about. I learned that my weight did not deďŹ ne me the words inside my head did not deďŹ ne me. 4-H deďŹ ned me. 4-H became the rock on which I rebuild my life, a life that was ďŹ lled with more happiness then I had ever known. In my darkest days, a 4-H activity always brightened it up. 4-H meetings were what I looked forward to

every week my junior and senior year it was a time I could truly be me. 4-H was where I felt accepted as I struggled with that my whole life never feeling like I ďŹ tted in anywhere I went, except for 4-H. I never thought that a little clover could have such a big inďŹ&#x201A;uence on my life. I have a lot to thank 4-H for. Thank you, 4-H, for teaching me leadership is a behavior, not a position. Thank you, 4-H, for teaching me it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter what ribbon placing you get. Thank you, 4-H, for showing me what a good citizen looks like and helping me develop skills to become a better leader. Thank you, 4-H for teaching me to speak up for what I believe in. Thank you, 4-H, for the friendships I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have obtained any other way. Thank you 4-H for 12 years of projects, fairs, laughs, unforgettable experiences, sleepless nights, tears, and accomplishments. Thank you, 4-H, for giving me my â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (The popular notion that it takes a village has so much merit and it ďŹ ts well within the construct of 4-H.) My parents Brian and Teresa, my family, county educator Rhonda, state 4-H staff particularly Theresa, Bob, Kayla and Katie, and the Darke County community made up my village and gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, they believed in me especially when I did not believe in myself. Thank you, Darke County 4-H, for letting me be your Cloverbud, Project Member, Camp Counselor, Junior Fairboard member, 4-H Committee member, amateur goat show woman, scholarship winner, CWF and Sea Camp delegate, Premier Member Gold Level winner, I Dare You Award winner, Junior Fair Queen, and 2017 Girl of the Year. Thank you, Ohio 4-H, for letting me be a Health Hero, Teen Leadership Council Member, Educational Assistant, Research Assistant, Personal Achievement winner, project book author, National 4-H Conference and Congress attendee, Hall of Fame Inductee, and 2018 Teen of the Year Thank you, National 4-H, for letting me be a Youth in Action ďŹ nalist/ honorable mention, Hall of Fame Master of Ceremonies, Collegiate Facilitator, and Collegiate 4-H Conference Co-Chair. Thank you 4-H for being my once in a lifetime.

Versailles gets Overtime tournament win over Brookville GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

CLAYTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Versailles Tigers took advantage of an Evan Hiestand tip-in at 0:03.6 in overtime to defeat the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 10 ranked Brookville Blue Devils 48-46 in tournament play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have 20-wins for a reason,â&#x20AC;? said Versailles coach Travis Swank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are senior led, they have a lot of guys that have played at the varsity level for several years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they have very good players. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just happy to get out of here with a win.â&#x20AC;? A Michael Stammen basket at 7:31 in the opening period gave the Tigers an early 2-0 lead. Brookville evened the score at 2-2, 6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;6â&#x20AC;? Austin Toner got a stick-back giving Versailles a 4-2 advantage only to have Brookville even the score at 4-4. The teams exchanged baskets for the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third tie at 6-6 with 3:22 followed by an old fashioned Hiestand 3-point play to give Versailles a 9-3 lead. Four unanswered points gave the Blue Devils their ďŹ rst lead of the night, 10-9 with 1:14 showing. Hiestand closed out ďŹ rst quar-

ter scoring with a layup to give Versailles an 11-10 lead after one. Brookville took the second quarter 14-11 but not before Versailles would own the largest lead of the night for either team, a 6-point 18-12 score coming at 6:08 by way of a Stammen layup and a Ryan Martin 3-pointer. The Blue Devils battle back with a 9-0 run to lead 21-18. A Hiestand tip-in made it a 21-20 game before a Brookville triple gave the Blue Devils a 2420 lead with 0:42 on the ďŹ rst half clock. A Hiestand reverse layup with nine seconds remaining sent the teams to the break with Brookville holding a 24-22 advantage. Brookville moved out to a 26-22 third quarter lead before Hiestand would score ďŹ ve unanswered points to give the Tigers a 27-26 advantage. The Blue Devils used a 5-0 run of their own to go back on top 31-27 only to have Versailles close out third period with four Stammen unanswered points by way of a driving layup and 2-2 at the line with 0:03.9 showing sending the teams to the ďŹ nal period of regulation play with the score even at 3131.

Stammen buried a 3-pointer from the top of the key for 34-31 Versailles lead at 7:24 in the fourth followed by a Brookville basket and 3-pointer to give the Blue Devils a 3634 advantage. Connor VanSkyock drilled a Tigers 3-pointer to put Versailles back on top 37-36 and Hiestand scored in the paint to give the Tigers a 39-36 lead. A Brookville goal had Versailles lead down to one with Hiestand getting a stick-back at 2:39 giving the Tigers a 41-38 advantage. A Brookville 2-point goal had the Tigers lead down to one at 41-40, Stammen with 2-2 at the line put Versailles back up by three at 43-40 and a Blue Devils layup had the Tigers lead at 43-42 with 43-seconds on the clock. Stammen hit the front end of two free throws to push the Tigers lead to 44-42 at 0:39 only to have Brookville hit a 4-foot running baseline ďŹ&#x201A;oater at 0:10 to send the game to overtime tied 44-44. Toner hit the back-end of two free throws to put Versailles up 45-44 followed by a Blue Devils basket putting Brookville on top 46-45. Stammen hit the second of two Versailles free

throws to knot the game at 46-46 with 1:02 on the overtime clock. With Brookvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense working the clock down, was unable to score setting up a Hiestand tip-in of a Tigers missed shot with 0:03.6 on the clock to give Versailles a 48-46 lead bringing a timeout from the Brookville bench. Coach Swank immediately called timeout following the Blue Devils break before Brookville would attempt to go the length of the court in under 4-seconds and come up short as a well-designed Versailles defense kept Brookville from getting a good last second shot off advancing the Tigers in tournament play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Barnburner,â&#x20AC;? said Swank following the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They hit a tough shot there in the regulation. I was hoping they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to turn the trick twice on us.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They ended up not getting a shot off,â&#x20AC;? Swank continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our kids battled back all year long from a lot of different things. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not the prettiest team out there but we sure have a lot of grit and determination we put out there on the ďŹ&#x201A;oor every night.â&#x20AC;? Versailles senior Evan Hiestand led all scorers with a game high 24-

points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad he got those 24 because 22 wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been enough for us,â&#x20AC;? Swank stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He played his tail off â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want his season to end. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the vocal leader that you would think of a senior but he works his tail off in practice. The guys just gravitate towards him because he plays so hard not only in practice but

games too and when you have leadership like that, sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just as good as being a vocal leader.â&#x20AC;? VERSAILLES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; E. Hiestand 24, M. Stammen 15, R.

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Greenville boys 6th grade basketball team defeated Tipp City on a last second Drew Hamilton stick-back to win the Dayton Metro Youth Basketball League season ending tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These boys â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if they keep it up,â&#x20AC;? said assistant coach Randall Bowman, â&#x20AC;&#x153;this wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be their last trophy.â&#x20AC;? The Greenville team coached by Matt Hamilton and assisted by Randall Bowman brought a 7-5 season record with four of the losses coming by a combined 10-points and a No. 3 seed into the tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are good kids â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there is talent here,â&#x20AC;? said Hamilton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We worked hard. The kids were very coachable. We worked on

a lot of fundamentals and just defense and basic stuff of shooting, passing and defense.â&#x20AC;? Hamilton, a 1998 Greenville alum played varsity basketball for the Green Wave under head coach Doug Fries. Bowman graduated from Gettysburg High School where he also played varsity basketball. The Division III North league included teams from Greenville, Troy, Piqua, Sidney, Tipp City, Graham, Arcanum, and Troy Christian. The Greenville boys went undefeated going 4-0 in knocking off Troy, Tipp City, Graham and return match with Tipp City in the double elimination tournament to earn the championship trophy. In the Friday night semiďŹ nal matchup Greenville defeated league champion

Graham 42-40, a team that ďŹ nished the regular season 13-1 with their lone loss coming at the hands of Greenville. The teams battle to a 40-40 tie with 8-seconds remaining and Greenville in possession of the ball. A Greenville shot missed the mark setting up a Hamilton offensive rebound and stick-back at the buzzer sending the boys to the championship game. In the championship game, Greenville defeated Tipp City 33-30 giving the local boys a well-deserved championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of it goes to this guy right here,â&#x20AC;? assistant coach Randall Bowman said of head coach Matt Hamilton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He drilled fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals.â&#x20AC;? Avery Yount, Ibahima Fall, Carson Good, Drew Hamilton, Layne Hocker,

Mason Julian, Landin Domingo, Kale Delk, Josh Baker, Henry Jordan and Diesel Harsock make up the championship Greenville team. Brady Willis kept the team scorebook during the regular season and tournament. Following tryouts, the team started practicing twice a week in early November with regular season play beginning early December. Hamilton and Bowman were pleased with the following the team received all season from local fans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really did have good attendance,â&#x20AC;? Hamilton stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even at Graham for the

Versailles Lady Tigers District Champs with 53-12 win GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

SPRINGFIELD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The No. 4 seed Versailles Lady Tigers dominated from the opening tip until the ďŹ nal buzzer in dismantling the No. 2 seed Williamsburg Lady Wildcats 53-12 to win an OHSAA D-III district championship and join the Sweet Sixteen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls were focused,â&#x20AC;? said Versailles coach Jacki Stonebraker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am really proud of how the girls came out and showed their ďŹ ght.â&#x20AC;? The Lady Tigers 6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;2â&#x20AC;? Lindsey Winner gave Versailles a 2-0 lead followed by back-to-back Caitlin McEldowney 3-pointers and a free throw each from Hannah Barga and Elizabeth Ording to push the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead to 10-0 at 4:55 in the ďŹ rst. The Lady Tigers added

two Ording buckets and a basket each from Brooke Stonebraker and McEldowney to take an 18-4 lead after one period of play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could tell they were going to really sag down on our post players,â&#x20AC;? Stonebraker noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They wanted to defend Lindsey (Winner). They had about two are three girls on her. I thought they boxed out really well but Caitlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shot from the outside just kind of sealed it for us. We were able to work inside and outside today.â&#x20AC;? Versailles shut the Lady Wildcats out in Period No. 2 while getting a Kelsey Custenborder triple and McEldowney drilling her third three of the game. Savannah Toner and Ording rounded out ďŹ rst half scoring with a 2-point goal each sending the teams to the break with the Lady Tigers holding a 28-4 lead. Winner and Ording led

Versailles in third quarter scoring with 4-points each, Barga drilled a 3-pointer and Stonebraker and McEldowney both added a basket with McEldowneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming with 0:26 showing to give Versailles a 4510 advantage sending the game to a running clock with the 35-point spread. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Very good domination defensively,â&#x20AC;? said Stonebraker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They got past us a little bit into our second team defense and I thought the girls did a nice job of staying strong inside, grabbing down rebounds and not giving too many second chance points.â&#x20AC;? Williamsburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jessica Chase came into the game averaging 16-points a game and Madi Ogden averaging 10-points were held to four and zero points respectively. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went to the locker room and I realized that 13 (Chase) didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any

points going into the locker room at halftime and I thought Lindsey (Winner) did a great job on 20 (Paige Fisher held scoreless). I was very proud of the girls.â&#x20AC;? Coach Stonebraker continued to use her entire bench in fourth quarter play to add 8-points to the board while holding Williamsburg to 2-points to earn the district championship trophy and advance

the Lady Tigers in tournament play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Liz (Ording) did a great job defensively â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was our helper anytime that any one of our girls got beat on the dribble. She was the one that was going to help and not let anybody get to the rim.â&#x20AC;? McEldowney led Versailles and all scorers with a game high 12-points. Versailles plays Waynes-

Ansonia falls to Fort Loramie in tournament play BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

PIQUA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An Ansonia Tigers slow start proved to be too much to overcome in losing a D-IV sectional ďŹ nal 33-23 to the Fort Loramie Redskins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was probable the best defense weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen this year,â&#x20AC;? said Ansonia coach Devin Limburg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just bottled us up. Every set we ran they jumped all over it and they have ďŹ ve guys that can switch everything, so that helpsâ&#x20AC;? The Redskins jumped out to a 9-0 lead in the opening four minutes of the game on their way to a 12-5 advantage after one period of play.

The defensive struggle stretched into Period No. 2 with the Redskins limiting Ansonia to a single 2-point ďŹ eld goal while adding 5-points to the board sending the teams to the break

with the Tigers trailing by a 17-7 score. Fort Loramie used a 5-0 opening third quarter run to lead 22-7 with 6:01 on the clock before the Tigers battled back to close out

third quarter scoring on a 5-3 run to trail 25-12 with one period to play. Ansonia took advantage of seven Matthew Shook points including a 3-pointer and four Hunter Muir points to cut the Redskins lead to 5-points, 2823 at 1:48 in the fourth. Fort Loramie closed out scoring on the night with a 5-0 run to advance in tournament play with a 10-point win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Really proud of the guys,â&#x20AC;? said Limburg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of the epitome of our season â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we just battle to the end and there is just no quit.â&#x20AC;? Ansoniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading scorers on the season; Buckingham and Muir were held to a total 6-points

UC freshmen starters recognized for standout season BY CLINTON RANDALL CORRESPONDENT crandall@earlybirdpaper.com

UNION CITY, Ind. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not often you hear of a freshman basketball player being recognized at the varsity level for their performance on the court. This season, the Union City Lady Indians not only had one freshman make the all-conference listâ&#x20AC;Ś they had two! With a standout season by freshmen Skylie Lutz and Mariah Claywell, the young Lady Indians were recently honored by the Tri-Eastern Conference. Lutz was selected to the All-TEC team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while Claywell received an Honorable Mention by the conference. Lutz ďŹ nished her ďŹ rst varsity season leading the team in scoring â&#x20AC;&#x201C; recording an impressive average of 15.7 points per game.

Claywell followed with 13.2 ppg, but led the team in rebounds (4.9) and steals (3.0) on average per game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been a pleasure coaching these two young ladies in their freshman season,â&#x20AC;? said UC Lady Indians head coach Sarah Black. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have a lot of tenacity, determination and work ethic. They both love the game of basketball, but have different strengths that complement one another.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mariah sees the ďŹ&#x201A;oor so well and has a nice pull up jumper that she is working on perfectingâ&#x20AC;Śwhile Skylie handles the ball like an upperclassman and never seems to get rattled when dribbling, she can also ďŹ nd any small hole to get to the basket. The two of them together make a pretty lethal duo,â&#x20AC;? she noted. With returning young talent, like Lutz and Clay-

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes to make Darke County’s Illumination Festival happen every September? Festival attendees get to enjoy the great music offered by some of the best bands in the Contemporary Christian genre. Heading into its 13th year, the Illumination Festival has brought some of the hottest, topselling artists to the Darke County Fairgrounds on the third weekend in September. Past artists have included Toby Mac, Newsboys, Sanctus Real, Jeremy Camp, Mercy Me, David Crowder, Mandisa and the list goes on and on. It all started with the vision of Marty McCabe who began contacting a few people about the possibility of bringing a music festival to Greenville. Shortly after a visit to the Darke County Fairgrounds to discuss the cost and possibility of renting the Grandstands, a committee was formed. While the committee has changed a little over the years with members coming and going, there are a few members that have been with the festival since the very first meeting, including McCabe and his wife, Connie. Some of the committee members from that first meeting recalled not knowing what to expect or how to accomplish the goal; not to mention how much it was going to cost or how to raise the funds. While it was fun to dream about who the first bands would be, the real work began when the committee began discussing fundraising in order to make the event happen. McCabe and his crew began canvassing local businesses and the

outpouring of support was incredible. Christian music fans also seemed excited with the groups that year, which included Everyday Sunday, Big Daddy Weave and Tate. That ﬁrst year, the budget was approximately $60,000 to bring in bands and provide production. With the growth of the festival, that budget has soared to approximately $100,000. The cost for bands now reaches and sometimes exceeds the $60,000 mark. According to McCabe, the need for supporters of the festival continues to be great. He said, “It is a huge undertaking bringing all of this together for another successful year. We at Illumination Ministries are asking for partners to make this endeavor a success.” Although ticket sales are usually outstanding, McCabe stressed it is the partners that help make the Illumination Festival one of the best events in Darke County. The 501(c)(3) nonproﬁt has a goal to reach out to those in and around the community with the good news of Jesus Christ through Christian music and testimony. The Illumination Festival committee meets yearround to plan for the next year’s event. As they did from the very beginning, they continue to discuss new events, bands, and fundraising opportunities. The committee is currently working to secure bands for the 2019 festival and will make an announcement once the contracts are secured. Tickets for the event will go on sale shortly after the announcement. If you would like to partner with Illumination Ministries and help bring positive music to Darke County, contact McCabe at (937) 459-2515.

GREENVILLE – A quick trip to Burbank, Calif. last September checked off a bucket list item for Sheryl Moore of Greenville. Long-time fans of the television game show Let’s Make a Deal, Moore and her sister, Tina Rhoades of Alexandria, Ind. spent a couple days in California just to attend tapings of the popular game show – with Moore getting the chance to compete on stage. The show with Moore as a contestant airs March 14 on CBS. “I have to be careful what I say,” Moore, 55, said of her actual experience on stage with host Wayne Brady. Let’s Make a Deal audience members dress up in outlandish costumes in order to get Brady’s attention and be called on stage to compete for trips, prizes or cash. Moore said she decided to make the trip at the urg-

ing of her sister. “She said ‘Sheryl, you’ve got to go. It’s so much fun,’” Moore said. “I decided to make it one of the things I wanted to do on my bucket list. It’s a blast to be in the audience on Let’s Make a Deal. It’s a great time. It’s one big party.” Moore and her sister dressed up as hippies for the first taping they attended last September. “We were the first ones in the door,” Moore said. “My sister (was) so cool in her dress and boots. I spent hours making those pants. Enjoyed every minute just imagining if we would get on. So glad we went back the second day and took the wrap- arounds (bathing suit cover-ups). We had so much fun planning our trip. She was on Price is Right twice. Twentysome years apart. The first time she won a washer and dryer and gave them to our parents.” On the second day of attending the taping, they just threw on bathing suit coverups and wore Hawai-

Sisters Tina Rhoades, left and Sheryl Moore dressed as hippies for Let’s Make a Deal.

ian leis, Moore said, noting how audience members could rent costumes provided by Let’s Make a Deal if they didn’t bring their own. “I actually wore my bathing suit under the coverup,” Moore said. “I don’t think I had any clothing mishaps.” Moore said she and Rhoades almost didn’t make it in time for the second day’s taping, due to getting a late start and

dealing with Burbank trafﬁc. “I think our group was the last in the door,” she said. Moore said she and her sister would like to plan another trip to California to attend game show tapings with all their siblings in the near future. “My husband wants me to be on Wheel of Fortune or Deal or No Deal,” she said.
