County ‘not immune’ to growing mental health crises SUSAN HARTLEY

STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

DARKE COUNTY – Darke County, Ohio, says county coroner death investigator Joe Van Vickle, “is not immune” to the growing mental health crisis, including death by suicide. The Center for Disease Control recently issued a report stating suicide rates have been rising in nearly every state in the United States. According to the report, during 2016, nearly 45,000 Americans age 10 or older died by suicide. It is the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S. The suicides of designer Kate Spade and celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain during the first week of June has again drawn attention to the increased need for mental health services and education. Van Vickle said the county’s suicide rate has increased over the past 11 years – with the exception of 2017, when drug overdose deaths rose, making it difficult to rule as suicide or accidental overdose. There have been 79 suicides in Darke County during the past 11 years, according to county records, with the most taking place during the months of May, July and October. “These are the hardest death cases we deal with,” Van Vickle said, noting his office works closely with family members to evaluate a suicide victim’s medical and mental health histories, as well as any other underlying issues such as marital/family relationships, substance abuse, work or financial problems. “We aren’t judgmental and don’t jump to conclusions,” said Van Vickle, who also helps train area first-responders, including fire, police, EMT and Hospice personnel in dealing with suicide deaths and survivors of suicide victims. “We’re here to continue

to give them support,” he said of survivors. The Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health also is charged with providing support for those suffering with mental health issues within Darke, Shelby and Miami counties. “Our job at the board is planning, funding, monitoring and evaluating the mental health services for the three-county area,” said Kim McGuirk, director of clinical services and evaluation. “Our mission is to make sure those services are high quality.” One of those services is the Greenville Recovery & Wellness Center. Many individuals are referred for substance abuse and mental health counseling through the court system or by a physician, but the center also is seeing people seeking help on their own, said Vickie Martin, clinical director at the Greenville ofﬁce. “We are seeing an increase in our walk-ins for our mental health services,” Martin explained. “We’re deﬁnitely seeing an increase on that side of things.” Recovery & Wellness works with patients “all over the board,” Martin said. “Some people are coming out of the hospital setting or we’re seeing your middle age person who has gotten to a point where their depression is interfering with work or family life. We work with kids, too.” Already in Greenville Schools, Recovery & Wellness will be expanding services this fall to include Tri-Village, Arcanum, Ansonia, and Versailles. Martin said the need for mental health counseling for children is growing and admitted “capturing people sooner” may be one key in preventing future issues. Recovery & Wellness provides mental health support at their 212 E. Main St. location, accepting walk-in patients between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Those seeking help af after hours, Martin said, are encouraged to go to the Wayne HealthCare Emergency Room, where a therapist will be called on to assist. People also may call the 24/7 crisis hotline – 1-800-351-7347. Calls are answered by local individuals who can listen and give callers resources available in their speciﬁc communities. “For folks who don’t want to talk on the phone,” McGuirk said, Ohio provides a state text line. Text 4HOPE to 741741. The text line, McGuirk said, may be of help to some of the text-savvy younger population or if someone is in a crowded room and can’t speak out loud. “The hotlines are not only for the person suffering from mental health crises,” McGuirk said, “but also their family members or friends and co-workers.” With mental health education being a top priority, the Tri County board has developed an eight-hour training program called Mental Health First Aid. “We learn ﬁrst aid when it comes to our medical treatment,” she explained. “Mental Health First Aid is a course that teaches what to do when faced with a person having a mental health crisis. It’s not to diagnose, but to recognize mental health issues.” One of the hardest things to do, McGuirk said,

Paving on US 127 an ‘interim’ ﬁx RYAN BERRY

MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – Work resumed this week to resurface US Route 127, but that doesn’t mean the road will be ﬁxed. After completing one of the northbound lanes, the contractor for the job, Walls Brothers, took a hiatus for about week but it wasn’t because they were doing another project someplace else. The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) put the project on-hold to

evaluate some issues with the road. According to Mandi Dillon, public information ofﬁcer for ODOT, “The project was on hold for about a week, to evaluate some heaving (bumps) that was occurring at some of the underlying concrete joints.” ODOT believes the issue is due to movement of the concrete base due to age and variation in weather conditions. Walls Brothers will continue performing the work per their contract with ODOT, which does

not include addressing the concrete base. They are expected to complete the project by Aug. 31. The cost for the current project is $3,697,220.91. Dillon stated, “This is a project to simply improve the road condition in the interim until a major project can be done in that area. There was no scheduled work in that area for six more years, but we were able to ﬁnd some funding to get this project underway to maintain the roadway until a larger project takes place.”

is to ask someone if they are considering suicide. “This course gives some ideas on how to ask and what to do if the answer is ‘yes.’” Mental Health First Aid is available for community service groups, businesses and individuals. “Our mission is to reach as many as possible,” McGuirk said. There’s also a shorter course, QPR – Question, Persuade and Refer – available. More information may be found at the board’s website, www.tcbmds.org. * 12 Suicide Warning Signs It’s hard to think about if you’ve never been in

a depressed state, but those contemplating suicide don’t think about the ripple effect on family and friends. Survivors of suicide often ask themselves why they didn’t see the signs. Remember people may not display all the warning signs. The Center for Disease Control has identiﬁed these warning signs: 1. Feeling like a burden 2. Being isolated 3. Feeling trapped or in unbearable pain 4. Increased substance use (alcohol, prescription and/or illegal drugs) 5. Looking for ways to access lethal means

6. Increased anger or rage 7. Extreme mood swings 8. Expressing hopelessness 9. Sleeping too little or too much 10. Talking or posting about wanting to die 11. Making plans for suicide (getting personal af affairs in order) * Five Steps to Help Someone at Risk: 1. Ask 2. Keep them safe 3. Be there 4. Help them connect 5. Follow up

Newbauer will run marathon for Myers LINDA MOODY

CORRESPONDENT

ANSONIA – Allen Newbauer of Ansonia is planning on running in the New York City Marathon this November, all the while raising money for the Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance (TSA). Tuberous Sclerosis disease affects the Scott Myers family in Versailles, friends of Newbauer and wife Lindsey. It is a genetic disease wherein non-malignant tumors develop on vital organs, including the brain, heart, kidneys, lungs and skin. The Myers’ son, Aiden, has tumors in his kidney, heart, skin and brain. He also has epilepsy in addition to Autism Intermittent Explosive Disorder. “There is no cure yet,” said Newbauer. “I am training for the marathon to help support the Alliance and raise money to ﬁnd a cure. This cause is important to me for many reasons, the biggest being Aiden, a.k.a. Super Aiden. We know the pain and struggle of this disease, having known this family for many years.” Follow the link below to give: http://giving.tsalliance. org/site/TR/Events/Gene ral?px=1231670&pg=pers onal&fr_id=1526. “I am hoping to qualify for the Elite Field,” he said. “I am training now to do

my absolute best...sometimes 100 miles a week.” Newbauer will turn 40 before the New York City Marathon. Newbauer, who ran a 50-Mile Ultra Marathon in Maryland and won in his age group “back in the day,” will be competing in a One-Mile race in Columbus in July and the YOLO Half Marathon in Greenville on Sept. 2. He attributes his ability to be able to do this to his

wife. “She takes care of me and fills in for me,” he said. Newbauer plans to raise $5,000 for the TSA, with his main focus at the marathon no doubt on Aiden Myers, the second oldest of four children of Scott and Danielle (Hoening) Myers. He will mark his 10th birthday on July 1. Aiden was diagnosed with TS Complex at two months of age. Seizures were an indication something was wrong. “It causes benign tumors in any organ of the body,” Danielle said. “His was in his brain. There were over 35 tumors in his brain. He had epilepsy infantile spasms which are fortunately able to be treated.” He underwent his first surgery, a laser ablation, in July 2016 and a second surgery, an open cranial, in August 2017, both at Texas Children’s Hospital. “Please support TS Alliance and cheer me on over the months leading up to the Nov. 4 race,” he pleaded. “Let’s break the back of this horrific disorder. You can register to join us or make a donation. Any help you give to the Alliance has the potential to benefit the family, not to mention thousands of others. Definitely follow along as I get ready for the most important race in my running career so far.”

officers Fields had left the ER. Darke County deputies began looking for Fields to take her into custody. This report was sent to the Darke County Prosecutor’s Office for charges of drug abuse. MENACING On June 6 an officer was dispatched to the 100 block of Morrow Street on what was determined to be a menacing complaint. The officer spoke with two victims who reported they observed the suspect, Austin Goins in a verbal altercation with a female in a parked vehicle. The victims heard Goins yelling and cussing at the female so they asked him to quit cussing and keep it down due to their children being outside. Goins yelled back and said he wasn’t going to quit. When the victims told Goins they were going to call police, Goins and the female exited the vehicle and began walking toward a Morrow Street residence. According to the report, while walking, Goins told the victims he should go inside and get his father’s gun. The victims told the of officer they felt afraid for their safety and their children’s safety. The officer also spoke with Goins who admitted he was in a vehicle having an argument with his girlfriend. Goins stated the altercation ended when he and his girlfriend exited the vehicle and went inside. He also denied having stated he was going to retrieve a firearm. Goins was issued a citation for menacing. DISORDERLY On June 7 an officer was on patrol in the area of the 1000 block of East Fourth Street and could hear yelling coming from the area near Emmitt B. Smith Park. A short time later the officer saw Caden Gonzalez running and yelling obscenities as he chased a vehicle on East Fourth Street near the park. He then started to run back to his truck, which was parked in a grassy area north of the parking lot. The officer was able to pull up and stop Gon-

zalez, who told the officer he was at the park because his girlfriend was there with her ex-boyfriend. He admitted to chasing and yelling at his girlfriend. The officer also spoke to a couple witnesses, one who was at the park with her two young children. Both witnesses corroborated what Gonzalez told the officer. The officer later spoke to the victim by phone and she said Gonzalez never was her boyfriend. Gonzalez was issued a citation for disorderly conduct. CRIMINAL DAMAGING On June 11 an officer responded to the 400 block of Central Avenue on the report of a vehicle’s windshield being broken by Cody Bailey. While the officer was enroute to the scene, Bailey left the area and the complainant followed him. Bailey was located by the officer on Harrison Avenue at Sater Street. The officer asked Bailey what had happened and he said his sister took his cell phone and broke it. He said he got upset so he walked up on the hood of her vehicle and stomped on the windshield, breaking it. The officer learned the phone belonged to the sister, which she was allowing Bailey to use. Bailey was agitated during the officer’s investigation, so he was placed in the back of a police cruiser. The sister told the officer she and Bailey were having an argument and when Bailey made a comment that upset her, she broke the phone. Bailey was cited for criminal damaging and released from the scene. OVI On June 9 an officer on patrol observed a vehicle being driven left of center on North Broadway Street. The officer conducted a traf traffic stop and found the driver of the vehicle to be Dennis Purvis. When speaking to Purvis, the officer detected a strong smell of alcohol, which became stronger as Purvis spoke. The officer asked Purvis to exit the vehicle and perform sobriety

tests, which he performed poorly. Purvis was arrested for OVI and transported to the Greenville Police Department, where he was cited for left of center and put under an administrative license suspension. He was released to his brother. WANTED PERSON On June 7 an officer responded to the 100 block of Morrow Street on the report of suspect Magan Plessinger being in the back yard of a residence.

Foundation expands leadership team GREENVILLE – The Light Foundation, a nonprofit founded in 2001 by three-time Super Bowl Champion and New England Patriot Matt Light, recently announced the expansion of its Ohio-based leadership team. Light, a Greenville native, says the nonprofit’s recent growth necessitated the move, while also launching the search for a new executive director for the Foundation. Light has named former Program Coordinator April Brubaker the new Program Director for the Foundation. In her new role, she’ll oversee the coordination and administration of all aspects on ongoing initiatives -- including planning, organizing, staffing, leading and controlling program activities. The role of Camp Vohokase Director will be filled by Edgar Flores, a former head counselor for the Foundation’s annual 10-day outdoor leadership program, Camp Vohokase. Like Light, Flores is a Purdue University alumna, and he’s also currently a Project

Manager for new product development at Rockwell Automation. In his new Foundation role, Flores will plan and coordinate the Camp schedule, make seasonal visits to the Campers in each of their hometowns, which includes New Bedford and Gloucester, Massachusetts; Hammond, Ind.; and Greenville, and conduct weekly phone call check-ins with the 16 young men who participate in the program. He will also interview the next incoming freshmen class. Raised in northwest Indiana, he now resides in Milwaukee, Wis. Brubaker and will work out of “The Station,” the organization’s recently completed 7,000 sq. ft. new headquarters at its Chenoweth Trails facility in Greenville. The space will also serve as home base for the ﬁnal new hire, an executive director for the Light Foundation. Light says he’s looking for a key management leader for the Light Foundation who will oversee the administration, programs and strategic plan of the organization, and also assist with fundraising,

marketing and community outreach. All interested candidates should forward their resume to ProjectManager@mattlight72.com. This expanded leadership team will enable Light to focus on more strategic oversight for the Foundation, including a renewed

commitment to growing the endowment, so future generations can beneﬁt from the nonproﬁt’s far-reaching impact. He maintains that he’ll still be a very visible part of the marketing, fundraising and programming – but less involved in the dayto-day operations.

Four sentenced in Darke County Common Pleas Court BY SUSAN HARTLEY STAFF WRITER shartley@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The following were sentenced in Darke County Common Pleas Court on Monday, June 11: * Jacob Motley, 19, of Greenville, was sentenced to 15 days with one day credit in the Darke County Jail, as well as 60 months of community control sanctions for unlawful sexual contact with a minor. Motley was 18 when the offenses took place in September and October of last year. The victims were 13

and 15 years of age. Motley entered a guilty plea to the charges in April. Darke County Prosecutor Kelly Ormsby told Judge Jonathan P. Hein he found it hard to believe Motley’s initial statement after being charged, which indicated he “didn’t know they (victims) weren’t of legal age.” Ormsby went on to explain how Motley met the younger girl through a family member of the same age. Ormsby suggested Motley be given a 90- day jail sentence “just so he under“A Quality Heating & Cooling Co.”

stands he can’t be doing this kind of conduct.” Motley’s attorney David Rohrer said he “didn’t have a lot of disagreement” with what the state was recommending, but did say he would suggest Motley be evaluated for potential therapy and/or counseling. “I think he can be successful with community control sanctions,” Rohrer added, “if he gets therapy. He shouldn’t be around girls that age if he has that problem.” Rohrer – as well as Motley’s mother – also told Hein his client had “mental issues” that needed to be dealt with. When Hein spoke directly to Motley, he told him his “conduct was illegal and immoral,” adding how mixed messages in today’s magazines and media may contribute to such behaviors but individuals had to learn to make correct choices – even if the girls said “yes.” The two-week jail term, Hein told Motley “is basically a long time-out chair for adults” and the the time would be well spent with Motley determining if he

wanted “to be a lost cause.” Motley also will have to register as a Tier II sex offender every six months for 25 years. Violation of community sanctions will result in mandatory incarceration. * Rachael Guillerman, 25, of Arcanum, also will spend the next 60 months under community control sanctions for obstructing justice. Guillerman’s original charge, according to court records, was pandering obscenity. According to assistant prosecutor Deb Quigley, when the defendant found nude photos of young children on her boyfriend’s phone, she should have immediately called police. Instead, Quigley said, Guillerman contacted her sister, who told Guillerman to call police or she would. The sister was the one who ended up reporting the photos, Quigley said. Quigley went on to explain how Guillerman also confronted her boyfriend about what she found which prompted him to dispose of the phone and get a new one. When investigators seized his phone, they ended up getting the new phone, which only had been used for about a day, Quigley explained. Guillerman pleaded guilty to the obstructing justice charge in April. Defense attorney David Rohrer told Hein he found his client’s charges to be “abhorrent. What was my client supposed to do?” Rohrer added that he had seen the photo in question and it was of two children “naked on a beach” with nothing “questionable” taking place. “I would ask the court to put her on community control sanctions,” Rohrer said. Hein asked Guillerman if “you ever play this out in your mind would you do it a different way?” Guillerman answered

“yes.” Hein also told Guillerman the photos on her boyfriend’s phone were “red ﬂags in your relationship (of six and one half years) with him. Whatever that means to you.” * John Dingman, 23, of Greenville, was ordered to pay restitution of $70 and serve 60 months of community control sanctions for burglary. Dingman pleaded guilty in April of breaking into his former girlfriend’s home on Christmas Day. He stole $20 and a sweatshirt worth $50, which he proceeded to “burn on Facebook for all the world to see,” Ormsby said. “The state does not feel prison” is the answer for Dingman, due to “mental health issues.” Rohrer told Hein he believed his client “had learned his lesson. He is employed.” Hein deferred additional jail time due to Dingman’s work schedule, but did warn him that “failure to comply” with community control sanctions would result in a 12-month prison sentence. * On Tuesday, June 12, Hein sentenced Christopher Clear, 31, of Greenville to continued community control sanctions. Clear was charged with aggravated possession of

fentanyl, a ﬁfth-degree felony, in August 2017. He entered a guilty plea in March, then failed to appear for a hearing on April 27. A bench warrant was issued for Clear for failure to appear. On Tuesday, Hein strongly encouraged Clear to set and adhere to steps to keep him away from drugs and jail, as well as ordering him to maintain employment, perform 100 hours of community service and follow all other parole requests. Failure to comply will result in an 11-month prison sentence.

GREENVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Early Bird and Bluebag Media is considering relocation of their current facilities to downtown Greenville. Greenville is blessed with a vibrant downtown area that is attractive for many reasons. Keith Foutz, CEO, President and Publisher stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the newspaper was purchased by my brother Fred and myself on June 1, 2012, we put together short and long term strategic plans which included a move to downtown when the time was right.

Ohio Farm Bureau defends property rights COLUMBUS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Protecting landowners from punitive state eminent domain laws is the goal of an Ohio Farm Bureau legal brief recently submitted to the Supreme Court of the United States. Ohio is one of only three states in which landowners are forced to endure a multiple step legal process with exceptionally difďŹ cult standards that results in burdensome legal expenses for both the landowner and taxpayers. Supreme Court precedent currently prohibits Ohioans from appealing to federal court to address government property takings. Ohio Farm Bureauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brief seeks to overturn precedent and gain landowners the option to appeal directly to a federal court. This is the ďŹ rst time in the nearly 100-year history of Ohio Farm Bureau that the organization has participated in a case before the Supreme Court of the United States. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Engaging in a case before the Supreme Court was not a decision we took lightly,â&#x20AC;? said Adam Sharp, Ohio Farm Bureau executive vice president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ohio landowners deserve fair treatment when the state decides to take private property. We hope our participation results in a ruling favorable to Ohioans and property owners across the nation.â&#x20AC;? He add-

ed that protecting private property rights is a priority issue for Farm Bureau. An example of why Ohioans need relief from current law dates to 1997, when the State of Ohio expanded the spillway of Grand Lake St. Marys in Mercer County. The state refused to compensate 80 landowners who were subjected to frequent and severe ďŹ&#x201A;ooding from the spillway expansion. The state employed numerous tactics to delay landowners from receiving their constitutionally required compensation. Eventually the state was ordered to fairly pay the landowners, but the process took nearly 10 years before payments were made. This drawn out process created massive legal fees for the landowners and was unnecessarily expensive for Ohio taxpayers. OFBF engaged the law ďŹ rm Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease to prepare the amicus brief. The ďŹ rm has a long-term relationship with Ohio Farm Bureau and has extensive experience with the workings of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest court. The brief was submitted in the Knick v. Township of Scott, Pa. case. Oral arguments before the Supreme Court are expected sometime in the session beginning in October with a ruling expected by next summer.

Palindromes and semordnilaps

A phenomenon in our family is over and if all goes well it should happen again, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bring me much excitement. My youngest daughter was born ďŹ ve days after I turned 36. That in itself is not phenomenal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there are men older than me fathering babies now. No, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not having another kid. Hmmm! Maybe they have the right idea. Have a kid when you are in your 70s and you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to deal with the teenage years. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m digressing. I thought it was just an anomaly and kind of cute when my daughter and I were able to celebrate our birthdays with a 4 and 40 celebration.

teenager â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see eye-to-eye with anybody. This past year my daughter and I had a semordnilap with our ages. She was 15 and I was 51. With me turning 52 this weekend that can only mean she is turning 16 in a few days. The countdown has begun. Not the countdown for the actual birthday, but the reason every kid canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to turn 16. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that time in our lives when every time we grab our keys to go someplace sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grabbing her glasses and wallet. Can I drive, can I drive, can I drive? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like having a dog that thinks you are taking them for a walk every time you grab their leash. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jumping up and down and scratching at your leg with excitement. (That last sentence was about my daughter and not the dog. The dog is more civilized.) I am very excited for my

daughter and so far she has been a better driver than her sister. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at least willing to learn to drive on the Interstate. My oldest still doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drive the Interstate unless there is no other way to get from here to there. My youngest wants to learn so she can drive herself to Kings Island. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll let my wife break the bad news that she is going to need a lot more experience before we let that happen. So, when will our next semordnilap occur? This is the one Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not so fond of. She will be turning (gulp) 26 and I will be (gulp) 62. I guess thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as bad as the one after that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 37 and 73. If I can stay healthy, we might have a chance at 48 and 84, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not holding out much hope for 59 and 95. After all, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lived with three women most of my life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d think it would eventually take its toll.

10 reasons why 4-H Camp matters

It took me a little while, approximately 11 years, to realize that we will occasionally have birthdays where our numbers are a semordnilap. First of all, yes, that is a real word â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I looked it up and the Internet said it was. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a word for a palindrome that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a palindrome (i.e. same backwards and forwards). Somebody decided to turn that backwards to deďŹ ne a word that when you turned it backwards created a new word, such as dog â&#x20AC;&#x201C; god, stressed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; desserts, ward - draw. My mind was just blown as I was writing this. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually use names in my column, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to make an exception. Not only are we semordnilaps, we are also palindromes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dad and Hannah. With all of these connections we should see eye-to-eye on everything. Who am I kidding?

Lady Wave Basketball Camp host 139 campers GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Lady Wave basketball program completed a four day camp with 139 girls in attendance, surpassing last year’s mark of 122 campers and far outdistancing the 60 campers in attendance at Coach Rachel Kerns’ ﬁrst season as the team’s head varsity coach. “Now that we have done it enough years, the word has gotten out so that we get a really good return,” said Coach Kerns. “The girls that are here this year, we get them to come back the next year and I think that is the ultimate-complement

that we can get.” The four day K-8 camp was divided into three sessions; grades 6, 7 and 8 – grades 3, 4 and 5 and K, 1 and 2 giving Coach Kerns a total of 12 sessions to manage. “Really exhausting long four days but the way we had it divided out, it was just a good number for each session,” Kerns noted. Assisting Coach Kerns from the Lady Wave program was coaches Laura Swigart, Ryan Fiely, Dave Westfall and Jeff Martin. “Varsity assistant Ryan Fiely was here all day every day,” said Kerns. “Laura Swigart, our JV coach does a whole lot of the behind the scenes. She gets all the camp

forms ready and makes sure everybody is paid, T-shirt orders and all that.” “Jeff Martin, our eighth grade coach was here for all the sessions,” Kerns added. “Seventh grade coach Dave Westfall was here for the morning sessions.” Lady Wave athletes from the high school basketball program were on hand each day assisting coach Kerns and her coaching staff. “We had a really good turnout,” Kerns said of the Lady Wave helpers. “We had 24 different high school girls here, 22 of them were here every session of every day so that makes it really nice on my end when I know who is going to be here and who I can count on.

Arcanum ACME baseball downs Greenville ACME BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Arcanum ACME baseball team defeated Greenville ACME 6-1 in a Tuesday night game at Greenville’s Sater Park. “Wade Meeks threw really well,” said Arcanum coach Justin Rench. “He gave us a good ﬁve innings then Brody (Williams) came in and did a nice job. He was throwing fastballs, spots, good off-speed pitches and kept them off balance.” “Arcanum came out and played a good game,” said Greenville coach Ryan Eldridge. “Their pitcher threw a good game, had a pretty good curve ball and the kids couldn’t adjust to it. It’s a learning curve for our players.” Arcanum took an early 3-0 lead in the top of the second inning of play taking advantage of a Greenville error to plate two unearned runs. “We had one inning where we had some mental mistakes and cost us a couple runs,” Eldridge stated. “Had a couple errors here and there.” Greenville scored a single run in the bottom of the fourth to make it a 3-1 game

tle kids like it because they get the same girls every day as well.” Each camper received a T-shirt, a basketball and a water bottle, with the water bottle provided by the Rotary Club. For the second year, the girls’ basketball camp was able to take advantage of the two new Greenville K-8

gymnasiums. “Really thankful for the community of Greenville to give us such a great facility to be able to house the camp,” said Coach Kerns. “We used to do it at the high school and that was ﬁne, but now we are able get to go in the little gym for the younger girls so they can make baskets. Our new building

has been such a blessing for what we try to do within our camp.” Coach Kerns is thankful for the parents, grandparents and friends that make the camp possible for the young basketball campers. “Someone has to be willing to pick them up and drop them off,” concluded Kerns.

only to have Arcanum add two runs in the top of the sixth with the big hit a deep double down the right ﬁeld line off the bat of Grant Delk. “Grant had a couple hits tonight – that double was huge later on in the inning,” Rench noted. “Put us in a good position to score some extra insurance runs there at the end.” Arcanum would pick up a run in the top of the seventh to close out scoring on the night to earn the 6-1

win. Wade Meeks picked up the win tossing ﬁve innings with Brody Williams pitching two inning of shutout ball in relief. Greenville’s Cole Francis pitched well in a losing cause while taking the loss. “Cole Francis came out and threw a great game, couldn’t ask any more from him,” Coach Eldridge said. “We had one inning where we had some mental mistakes and cost us a couple runs.”

ARCANUM – The Arcanum-Butler Trojans will have a new head varsity boys basketball coach court side for the 20182019 season with the hiring of James Melton, a 1988 Union City (Indiana) High School graduate having most recently served as Varsity Assistant at Winchester Community High School in Winchester, Indiana. “I’m excited for the challenges that lie ahead,” said Melton. “I coached at Union City, that’s where I started out on the Indiana side. I spent eight years there. I started out at third grade, at the very bottom and worked my way up.” “I’m excited about being able to get Coach Melton,” said Arcanum Superintendent John Stephens. “There are some concerns when it’s this late – what’s the quality of coach that you are going to get and I feel like we hit a home run.” “Sometimes it’s good to be patient,” Stephens added. “It was important to us not to work quickly in

getting a coach, but getting someone who we felt could take our team to then next level.” Prior to Winchester, Melton served at Parke Tudor High School in Indianapolis where he was head coach for a season. From 2011-2015 Melton served as either the Associate Head Coach, Junior Varsity Coach or Varsity Assistant and believes his coaching success will pay dividends as he takes over the Trojans’ program. “It has diversiﬁed my coaching abilities,” stated Milton. “I have been fortunate enough to coach under some great coaches that mentored me and I

have learned multiple systems which enables me to diversify what I can bring to Arcanum.” “I’ve coached in the rural setting and I’ve coached in the urban setting,” said Melton. “I have coached at all levels from third all the way through to 12. With all of that experience, that’s what is going to enable me to bring this back to Arcanum.” Coach Melton is familiar with the Cross County Conference and looks forward to competing in the CCC. “Mississinawa-Valley, Ansonia, Tri-village – I’m familiar the schools,” noted Melton. “I’m excited about it…absolutely.”

Masters steps down after 25 years leading Matt Light Camp GAYLEN BLOSSER

SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The 25th annual two-day Matt Light All-Conference Football Camp came to a close with former Greenville and Arcanum High School coach Larry Masters turning the reigns over to Greenville football coach Aaron Shaffer after 25 years. “It’s hard to walk away,” said Coach Masters. “I walked away from teaching and I really enjoyed teaching but football it’s something special to me. It is a little harder, but when do you know when to quit. That’s the hard part and I just felt like now was the time. I’ve been doing the camp since 1994. I think it’s time to hand the ball off.” “The cool thing about this year is; Larry, 25 years is just something that you can’t really put into – well it’s hard to do anything for 25 years,” Matt Light said. “The fact that Larry is here and we’re celebrating what he started 25 years ago in 1994, he put his ﬁrst camp here in Darke County and

it’s just been an awesome thing for the Light Foundation to be a part of and to walk along-side Larry over these years and see how he has interacted with these kids and the impact that he has made is pretty special.” “Coach Masters has done a great job with this camp starting 25 years ago when I was still in high school and he’s done a great job with this camp,” said Coach Aaron Shaffer. “I am really honored to have Matt and the folks at the Light Foundation ask me to do it and more than happy to do it.” The camp instructs kids about positions both on offense and defense receiving instruction from a who’s who of coaches from the surrounding area. The campers compete in individual competitions along with drills a complete the camp with the touch football Light Bowl tournament. More than 20 coaches from the surrounding area assist the camp each year at Harmon Field. “A lot of great memories working here, coaching here and teaching here,” said for-

mer GHS assistant coach and longtime Miami East head football coach Max Current. “It’s always fun to come back and see a lot of the guys I coached here – coaching these young guys like ‘Big Daddy Shaffer, Griffin, Gilmore. I had those guys all in school.” “The comradery of the coaches, just getting to talk to them and of course seeing Matt,” continued Current. “I coached Matt – I was his position coach when he was in high school and it’s always good to talk to him and reminisce a little bit. All these little kids are eager to learn. I knew Larry (Masters) when I first started at Greenville. Larry was the head coach, so we go way back. It’s always good to help him out. The Matt Light All-Conference Football Camp is free to campers paid through local donations and an NFL grant. “Twenty-five years celebrating Larry this year and we’ll send him off in style,” Light said. “We’re going to look forward to ushering in Coach Shaffer. He is going to be headlining this camp.

Greenville boys basketball impressive in summer league play BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Greenville boys basketball team gave the local fans a glimpse of what the 20182019 varsity basketball season could hold by defeating the Newton Indians 48-30 in the first 40-minute Thursday night game at GHS and following up with a 51-37 win over the 2017-2018 Cross County Conference (CCC) Champion Bethel Bees in summer basketball league games. “It’s a big difference that a year makes in some of these guys – a year of experience,” said GHS coach Kyle Joseph. “Last year we were playing a lot of sophomores, juniors and a lot of times not many seniors.” Greenville held a five point lead at the break in the opening game against Newton before pushing its lead above 20 points in the second half of play. Bethel crushed Newton in the second contest of the night opening with a 21-2 lead before taking on the Green Wave in the final 40 minutes of play with a running clock. Greenville was impressive in both games with Noah Walker hitting threes and driving to the basket, Marcus Wood, Tyler Beyke, Reed Hanes and Jace Bunger handling the ball and driving to the bucket while Jordan Dill, Foster Cole and Alec Fletcher were taking care of business in the paint. With high school coaches limited 10 days of summer practice and sideline coaching, coaching goes to the

players to do the coaching as well as playing. “One of the best things about this league is that coaches stay out of it until we get to the tournament,” said Coach Joseph. “It’s a leadership opportunity. You can sit back in the stands and you hear them saying the things that most of the times that I would want to be saying, so that is when you know that you are making big strides – that’s great to see.” Two incoming seniors are making their presence known on the court as Noah Walker and Jordan Dill take on senior leadership roles. “We have big shoes to ﬁll from last year – had some really good leaders in our program last year,” Dill stated. “Now it kind of falls

to us to be the vocal ones and loud ones for once.” “We came out, we played hard,” said Walker. “Coach wants us to step up as leaders. One of the most effective ways to do it is to talk on the court and off the court.” “I think it went well tonight,” Dill added. “We were able to get what we wanted – to run a lot and push the ball. Something we are trying to do more to get some of those easy buckets in transition. We are working on all the skills we need to run our offense to get the looks we want.” “Guys this summer have really been getting after it and pushing each other in our practices,” concluded Coach Joseph. “That shows a lot when we get out on the court.”

We’re excited to work with him but for now we’re going to soak up a few more lessons with Larry and have some fun doing it.” “My family has been supportive,” concluded Coach Masters. “My wife put up with a lot over the years, the hours I put in and being gone – my daughter too. I missed a lot of her stuff. She was an athlete in high school and played sports and I missed some of that stuff because of my obligations. Now I’m really enjoying my grandson.

Greenville ACME knocks off Covington ACME BY GAYLEN BLOSSER SPORTS WRITER gblosser@earlybirdpaper.com

GREENVILLE – The Greenville ACME baseball team defeated the visiting Covington ACME team 5-3 in a Wednesday night game played at Sater Park “I expected more hitting wise tonight,” said Greenville ACME coach Ryan Eldridge. “Defensively we looked good. Kudos to Covington – they came out and played hard. They have a pretty good ball club.” Covington took a 1-0 lead before Greenville would come to the plate in the bottom of the first. Greenville’s Marcus Wood and Ethan Saylor legged out infield singles putting runners on first and second with no outs to open the bottom of the first. Landon Eldridge drilled a two run double to straight away center giving Greenville a 2-1 advantage. Tytan Grote reached first by way of a hit batsman and scored on a squeeze play with Connor Mills laying down a perfect bunt single to give Greenville a 3-1 lead after one complete. Covington battled back to knot the score at 3-3 in the top of the third where the score would stand after three innings of play. Greenville added a run in the bottom of the fourth to take a 4-3 lead using a Terry Miller one-out single to left, a Wood single to right and a run scoring sacrifice fly off the bat of Saylor. Covington managed to load the bases with no outs only to have Wood track down a sharp liner to center and come up throwing to hold the runner at third to help get Greenville out of the inning. “Marcus (Wood) can cover tracks out there,” Eldridge stated. “He is really allusive and he’s good at tracking the ball. He got it in quick and held the runner at third.” Greenville loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom of the fifth only to come away with no runs.

“We had bases loaded and no outs,” said Coach Eldridge. “We should have capitalized. We had a mistake with a runner tagging at third. We need to get a couple runs with the bases loaded with no outs. We should have blown the game open right there. I was disappointed, but that’s baseball.” With Mills’ night complete on the mound, Coach Eldridge went to Landon Eldridge to close out the game with two innings of shutout ball. Greenville added an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth. Putting a run on the board after the first two batters went down with a lineout to short and a popup to first. Saylor and Eldridge reached on back-to-back hit batsman bringing a pitching change from the Covington bench followed by consecutive walks to Grote and an RBI walk to Tony Sells to give Greenville ACME a 5-3 win. Greenville incoming sophomore Connor Mills picked up the win with five innings of work on the mound. “Mills didn’t pitch much in the spring,” Eldridge noted. “I asked him to pitch tonight. We don’t have many arms on this team and he did a great job, mixed his speeds well, caught kids off guard and he trusted his defense tonight. They put the ball in play but our defense played solid.” “Landon (Eldridge) came in and closed the door,” added Coach El-

Knapp offers car at YFC golf outing GREENVILLE – A brand new Ford Focus awaits the person that steps forward and hits a hole-in-one at the designated hole at the Youth for Christ of the Miami Valley Golf Classic this year. Each of the past 27 summers, Dave Knapp Ford Lincoln has agreed to donate a new car to the participant lucky enough to hit the perfect shot, but so far, no one has. Perhaps you could be the one to drive it home. June 27 is the date for the Youth for Christ outing, which will take place at White Springs Golf Club and those who participate are in for a real treat. In addition to the possibility of a new car, there will be prizes for several golﬁng contests and many wonderful door prizes. A second reason many golfers return to the YFC Classic each year is the delicious food that is served non-stop throughout the day. This also means that golfers aren’t asked to stay for a long program after the end of play. Another fun feature in the tournament ensures that everyone who “goes the extra mile” for YFC will receive special treatment that makes their play a day to remember. While a team can register for as little as $350 and an individual can play for $100, those wanting to help even more can sign up

for a “Gold Class Upgrade.” Those with a Gold Class Upgrade are entitled to everything received by other golfers, but will also receive a tournament golf shirt and exclusive amenities. Teams can register with a Gold Class Upgrade for $700 and individual golfers can have a Gold Class Upgrade by paying or raising at least $200. Several more golfers and business sponsors are still needed in order to reach this year’s goal of raising $20,000 to help local teens. Those interested in either of these opportunities should call Youth for Christ at 5482477 or e-mail YFC at ofﬁce@yfcmv.org.

Please include a 5x7 or smaller photograph with no enhancements with your application and entry fee. Please make sure the picture is labeled with name and address. Your picture will be returned at the time of the contest. Contestants will be judged on originality of attire, outﬁt appropriate to Annie/Bill theme, personality, poise, and stage presence. All judge’s decisions are ﬁnal and will not be questioned. For applications or more information, visit annieoakleyfestival.org.

Engineering scholarships GREENVILLE – Two Greenville High School seniors were awarded the Robert and Mary Beasecker Engineering Scholarship during the senior awards presentation ceremony on May 24.

RANDOLPH COUNTY, Ind. – Sitting in the center of Ward Township in Randolph County, Ind. stands a small brick building that no doubt once rang with the laughter of children who were getting their lessons in reading, writing and arithmetic. Now, time has taken its toll, but thanks to a group of friends who have taken an interest in this old building, Ward Township District No. 5 School is again seeing brighter days. The one-room schoolhouse is located at 970E 700N, Ridgeville, Ind. Greg Sommer, whose house sits next to the schoolhouse, is leading the

charge to resurrect part of Indiana and Randolph County’s history. Built in 1891, the schoolhouse remained operational until 1911. However, Sommer pointed out there was a schoolhouse on the property prior to 1891. Sommer pointed out that although the building was no longer used as a schoolhouse, it remained useful to the area. The building was purchased in 1913 by a farmer who lived where Sommer lives now and turned it into a grainery. The Friends of Ward Township District No. 5 School formed in 2014 as a non-proﬁt organization and the refurbishment project began in 2015. They have since put a new roof on the building, which

had to have the approval of the Indiana Historical Society because the building is on the Indiana Historical Landmarks Registry. The Friends also replaced the footer, which was originally made from ﬁeld stone. Some of the bricks on the outside of the building were replaced with bricks from another one-room schoolhouse that was torn down. Most recently, the group had the windows refabricated and will soon install exact replica window frames made from White Oak. The building also received the front door of the Winchester Methodist Church that was recently torn down. Sommer estimates 90 percent of the woodwork on the inside of the building is original as are

the chalkboard and coat hooks. The Friends have been able to accomplish the work through donations and grants with the biggest coming from the Indiana Historical Society through the Eli Lilly Endowment. They are waiting to receive word as to whether or not they will receive funds from a similar grant this month. They still have plenty of work to do, including installing a furnace and plastering the walls. Sommer hopes to use the building as an educational center and invite schools from West Central Ohio and East Central Indiana to spend a day learning how our ancestors learned. You can see the progress that has been made by

attending an Open House and Ice Cream Social on July 7, noon to 4 p.m. Sommer pointed out they will have homemade ice cream, sandwiches, desserts and more. They are hoping the social and open house become an annual tradition. Randolph County, un-

der the leadership of Dr. Lee Driver, was the ﬁrst in Indiana to begin consolidating schools. They went from 132 one-room schools to 18 schools. Today, only 27 of these buildings remain and 3/4ths have turned into homes.

GREENVILLE – Partnering for Progress held its Summer Mixer at Chenoweth Trails on Tuesday. The event is an opportunity for Darke County Economic Development to share information with partners concerning the progress being made in economic development and workforce development and invite area businesses and individuals to partner with the organization. Darke County Economic Development Director Mike Bowers shared the county and a few companies are in the middle of some projects. “Thank

you to Midmark for their investment in the county and what they’re doing,” said Bowers. He pointed out work has begun on the company’s research and development tech center. BASF is in the middle of a $30 million upgrade internally to their systems and will be putting it together over a period of 15 months. The wind turbine project for the KitchenAid Division of Whirlpool and partnership with One Energy has also begun. However, Darke County Economic Development is focusing on workforce development. “We need workforce,” Bowers said. His ofﬁce is currently working with educational partners as well as ﬁnance and banking institutions

to establish internships, apprenticeships and preapprenticeships. “We need to get hooks into our young folks as early as we can because we need to retain our local talent, need to continue to grow our local talent and that will be the focus of my ofﬁce,” added Bowers. “We are all working together for workforce development and workforce attraction,” he said. Matt Light, of the Light Foundation, also spoke to attendees. The organization began in 2001 with the focus being on young people and trying to impact their lives in a positive way. “The building blocks are in place for us to do a lot of things,” said Light. Some of the projects

and events taking place through the Light Foundation in Darke County include a football camp, leadership conference, leadership camps, Light project, and youth wild turkey hunting. He praised the people in the community that not only make the work his foundation is doing possible, but also those that are making things happen in the Greenville community. “There’s so much excitement in this area. We know that it’s people like you all that do things on a much bigger level,” he added. The work Tamala Marley, workforce specialist for Darke County Economic Development, is doing in developing an emerging

workforce is lining up with the message Light and his team are trying to send to the kids he works with. “We have to get these kids to understand hard work and accountability and showing up on time, in-

vesting in themselves is really important,” said Light. He directed his comments to Partnering for Progress members, “All the things you do are going to directly beneﬁt the work that we do.”

ed in personal interviews prior to Saturday’s pageant. Acting as Mistress of Ceremonies on Saturday was Erin McKibben, Miss Chick 2002. Wilker, a 2018 Versailles High School graduate and the daughter of Steven and Catherine Wilker, was sponsored by the Versailles Busy Beavers 4-H Club. During high school, Wilker participated in National Honor Society, Interact Club and FFA. Wilker said the Poultry Days festival was important to Versailles “because it’s about building relationships.” When asked her final question – do fairy tales have a positive or negative effect on young girls – Wilker said she believed fairy tales were a positive influence. “Cinderella gave me a positive” outlook, she said. “It gave me hope for the future.” Wilker also spoke about a Darke County Fair app she’s working on, which would provide access to fair activities and welcome people to the fair. Selected as the first runner-up was Jamie Teresa

Hart, daughter of Dan and Kari Hart. A 2018 graduate of Versailles High School, Hart was sponsored by Versailles FFA. Hart said she will be attending Wright State University Lake Campus this fall to study early childhood education. While at VHS, Hart was active in marching and concert band, FFA and FTA. “FFA has made a gigantic impact on my life,” Hart said. “I want to be Miss Chick so I can be the youth voice for agriculture in Darke County. I think it’s important for young people to understand agriculture.” Hart, who works as an agricultural broadcaster for WTGR Tiger Radio 97.5 in Greenville, recently won an award in ag communication. Her ﬁnal question dealt with the recent #MeToo movement, said she believed stronger families, including foster families, were important to help in battling child abuse. She also said she believed “men and women should see each other with more respect.” Morgan Heitkamp,

daughter of Brian and Mechelle, was named second runner-up. Sponsored by bowlerstore.com, Heitkamp will be a senior at Versailles this coming fall, where she’s active in show choir, NHS, golf and bowling. She’s also a nine-year member of 4-H and this year will be training her dogs Brutus and Rocky as therapy dogs. Heitkamp said she wanted to be Miss Chick because she has received support from the community in her endeavors and “would like to give back to the community.” When asked what historical female had made an impression upon her, Heitkamp said “Mother

Teresa. She spent her life giving to the poor.” Heitkamp said she enjoyed helping the unfortunate and had experience working at St. Vincent de Paul in Dayton. Serving as personal interview judges were Linda Moody, correspondent for The Early Bird; Scott Ward, WTGR Tiger Radio 97.5; Calvin Rose, Hoosiermama? captain and Poultry Days Ultimate Community representative; Beth Simmons, former Miss Chick chairman; Joyce Schwartz, Minster Oktoberfest. Saturday’s judges included Calvin Rose, Rachel Hedrick, Miss Chick 2011 and Kevin Kissinger, 2017 Poultry Days Chairman.

Versailles honors its veterans with banners VERSAILLES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Soon the village of Versailles will be recognizing over 200 veterans from its community and surrounding school district thanks to a campaign spearheaded by Versailles Vetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club trustee and event Chairman Richard CofďŹ eld on behalf of the VFW Post 3849 and American Legion Post 435. The appealing red, white & blue banners were designed in collaboration

with Versailles entrepreneur Kim Custenborder of Prosperity Promotions, Dave Miller of the VFW, who served as event advisor and CofďŹ eld. Each banner bears the veteranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photo, name, branch served and era (if applicable). These commemorative banners were purchased by family members of the veterans, donated to the village and will be proudly displayed on the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

streetlight poles near the end of June and are expected to remain through Labor Day. A number of banners were displayed on the festival grounds during Poultry Days amid the military vehicles of Miller and others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Proceeds from the campaign beneďŹ t the Versailles Memorial Building Fund,â&#x20AC;? stated CofďŹ eld. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were more interested in keeping the banners affordable
