Man cited for indecent exposure at Party Mart Public Indecency On May 19 an officer was dispatched to Party Mart on Wagner Avenue in reference to a sex offense complaint. The complainant reported a male subject in a green and black vehicle drove through the drivethru and exposed himself to her. As the officer was being dispatched, he was made aware of the vehicle’s license plate number. The officer was unable to locate the vehicle, so he returned to Party Mart. The complainant told the officer she was working when the subject came through and

asked for cigarettes. When the employee returned to the vehicle the subject, identified by his vehicle registration as Robert Shuff, was laughing and looking down at his legs.

At that time, she observed he was exposing himself.

She told him to leave and not to come back. Officers located Shuff and asked the employee to come to the police department in order for a police lineup.

The employee immediately pointed to Shuff as the offender. Shuff was warned for trespass and cited for public indecency. He admit-

ted to being at Party Mart to get cigarettes but denied ever having exposed himself.

Disorderly On May 19 officers were called to Harrison Avenue on a disorderly conduct complaint. The complainant reported William Pollard was throwing items off of the porch of a home in the 200 block of Harrison Avenue, both into the yard and the roadway. Two officers saw the complainant standing outside at the corner of Harrison Avenue and Armstrong Street. In the yard of 201 Harrison Ave., officers observed patio furniture lying upside down. The complainant said Pollard, who resides with her, had been drinking all day. She said she saw two bottles of Vodka, another type of liquor, and a bottle of margarita mix in the trash. She said she was trying to leave the residence and Pollard came out onto the porch yelling.

While yelling, he took the patio furniture from the porch and began to throw it into the yard and roadway.

The complainant removed the furniture from the roadway because she thought someone was going to hit the furniture with their car.

When officers arrived, two neighbors were standing on their porch. Officers asked if they saw Pollard outside on the porch throwing items and yelling and they

said they did and they were alarmed. The neighbors also advised the officers they thought Pollard was trying to throw items at the complainant. Pollard admitted to one of the officers he had been drinking that day and did throw furniture off the porch because he was mad. Pollard was cited for disorderly conduct.

Animal Complaint On May 19 an officer was dispatched to the 300 block of Tiffin Avenue in reference to an animal complaint. The complainant said his neighbor’s dog was outside running loose and being aggressive. Officers saw a white and brown dog running loose through the alley and the yard of 304 Tiffin Avenue. The complainant said the dog belonged to the women who reside at 304 Tiffin Ave. The officer made contact with Darla Harris of the listed address and asked her if she had a brown and white dog. She said she did and the officer told her the dog was running loose in the alley. Harris attempted to get the dog inside, at which point it became aggressive towards her. Anytime anyone got close to the dog, the dog attempted to bite the person. Harris was unable to get the dog inside. The dog warden had to be called to the scene to collect the dog and take it to the animal shelter. Harris was cited in

treatment from rescue and signed a refusal. Wintrow was transported to her residence, where she was issued a citation for having an open container and was advised of her court date.

Wanted Person On May 20 William Swider came to the Greenville Police Department to turn himself in for two active bench warrants through the Darke County Municipal Court. The warrants were for a disorderly conduct charge with a $1,525 bond and for an original charge of OVI, must serve 20 days.

He was transported to the Darke County Jail.

On May 19 an officer was dispatched to the 100 block of West Harmon Drive on the report of a wanted person. Dispatch had received a be-on-the-lookout (BOLO) through LEADS/ NCIC by the Miami County Sheriff’s Office. The BOLO was in regards to suspect Michael Elliot being wanted for charges in reference to a domestic dispute. The BOLO said Elliot was possibly at 127 W. Harmon Drive. Three officers were able to locate Elliot at that address. He was arrested and read his Miranda Rights. Dispatch contacted Miami County Sheriff’s office and advised them Elliot had been detained.

An officer transported Elliot to GTI, where he was released to a Miami County Sheriff’s Deputy.

reference to the city ordinance, dog-at-large.

Suspicious Person On May 17 an officer responded to Greenville Memorial Hill in the 200 block of Memorial Drive on the report of a woman lying on a bench unresponsive. Upon arrival, the officer made contact with the complainant/witness, who said he was on his run when he came across the woman lying on her back on the park bench.

The complainant advised the officer the woman was breathing, but she would not respond when he spoke to her. The officer made contact with the female and saw was breathing and did have a pulse. The officer also found a bottle of vodka on the ground next to the woman. The bottle was three quarters full. The officer attempted to wake the woman up, but was unable to get her to respond. Another officer arrived on scene and recognized the woman as Carla Wintrow. The officer called Wintrow out by name and she responded and asked “what?” Wintrow told officers she was okay and she was just drunk and admitted the bottle of vodka was hers. She was advised she could not be drunk in the park with an open bottle of vodka. Due to Wintrow’s level of impairment, Greenville Township Rescue responded. She refused

VERSAILLES – This will be the 38th year for the Versailles Poultry Days Ultimate Classic and is considered one of the oldest and top tournaments in the nation. A record number of 75 teams will be competing from all over the USA and Canada. To put this in perspective each team includes an average of 20 swelling the Versailles population from 3,000 to nearly 5,000.

The resulting tent city is welcomed by village residents and the players are always friendly and with great spirit. Over the year’s friendships have formed the community looks forward to the annual flood of visitors.

The tournament is planned and ran by Rodger Oakes and Oshadega. Oshadega is a Columbus based non-profit with a mission of supporting players and promoting and growing the sport. This includes conducting several tournaments throughout Ohio including the Poultry Days Ultimate Tournament. The Poultry Days tournament is held during the annual festival and involves 28 fields spread over Heritage Park, Pheasant Ridge and one on the festival grounds.

So, what is Ultimate Frisbee? Ultimate Frisbee is a non-contact team sport played with a 175 gram flying ultimate disc. The object of the sport is to score points by passing the ultimate Frisbee disc to a player in the oppos-

ing end zone, similar to an end zone in American football or rugby. Ultimate requires both athleticism and endurance. Ultimate is a fast-growing sport and commonly played on university campuses and parks worldwide. Basic ultimate Frisbee rules involve two teams. One team pulls the disc to the other as in a kick-off scenario. Once the receiving team gains possession of ultimate Frisbee disc then the ultimate Frisbee players pass the disc to their teammates to advance up the ultimate field toward the end zone. The opposing ultimate team attempts to thwart the offense by intercepting the disc or (more commonly) knocking the ultimate disc to the ground during a pass. Once the ultimate Frisbee disc hits the ground the possession changes There are several changes to Versailles Ultimate this year. First, the teams increase from 70 to a record 75 with additional matches being held on the festival grounds. Second, the Ultimate players will conduct a free youth clinic Friday, June 14. Versailles is excited to host a match between the Indianapolis Red and Columbus Pride professional ultimate teams. These teams are part of the professional women’s Premier Ultimate League. The league has eight teams located throughout the United States including New York,

Burns seeks funding in Washington NEW MADISON – Eric Burns, Chief of EMS for Tri-Village Rescue Services in New Madison, Ohio, was one of four Ohio EMS Chiefs to attend the National EMS on the Hill in Washington DC, sponsored by the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians.

The Ohio EMS Chiefs Association (OEMSCA) sent Burns to meet with lawmakers and address concerns for EMS nationwide.

Nearly 200 EMS chiefs, directors, and providers from across the county met with lawmakers to ask for assistance in passing legislation to help EMS. The Ohio group met with Rep. Bob Gibbs of Ohio District 7, Rep. David Joyce of Ohio District 14, Senator Rob Portman of Ohio, and Senator Mitch McConnell and Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky. In meeting with these legislators, they represented all EMS services across the country asking them to help support legislation such as the SIREN Act, which will give grant moneys to rural EMS services. Currently, there isn’t any federal funding going to EMS. The last federal money given to EMS was in 1974. The fire service has multiple federal programs awarding almost $371 million dollars a year to fire departments across the country, and the SIREN Act is only asking for 30 million a year to help small rural departments with equipment purchases, education, as well as recruitment and retention of future EMS professional’s

for both paid and volunteer departments.

Burns said, “I found the whole experience so exciting, meeting with our nation’s leaders and sharing the problems that small departments like mine are having in funding and recruitment and retention of EMT and paramedics due to being in such a rural area. All the legislators and their staffs were very engaged and seemed to understand where we were coming from. I have been in EMS over 30 years and have seen so many changes in this industry and thanks to the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians; I was given the opportunity to not only voice my concerns but the concerns of all Ohio EMS Chiefs concerning changes in our industry.”

Burns added, “I also was honored to meet with chiefs and directors from across the country and share what’s working for them and what’s not, concerning funding, recruitment and retention of employees. Tri- Village Rescue Service is extremely fortunate at this time to have the truly dedicated staff that we do and I found out we were better off than other departments throughout the country.”

He believes it’s very important to help all volunteer services, whether it is EMS or fire departments, with the tax breaks and the additional grant funding for EMS equipment as these services try to make their tax dollars go further.

My sister Bev’s granddaughter, Maddicyn Brumbaugh of Celina appreciated her school, Celina Middle, for holding the American Cancer Society Relay for Life recently.

The event honors anyone who has battled cancer, is currently battling cancer and those who have lost their battle with that dreaded disease.

“Truly my whole family has been affected by cancer as my great-grandpa and grandpa had cancer and my uncle who recently passed had multiple myeloma,” she said on a Facebook post. “I enjoyed every second of raising money and working for the relay today and every day of the year.

“I don’t think as a coach you ever go in thinking that your freshmen are your three best (pitchers) but when they are, it’s obviously good for the future of your program as it grows and goes forward,” Shaffer said. There is a good mix of talent there that it makes it interesting to see how the baseball team is going to grow the next few years.”

“Our junior high teams have talented kids and in those ball and stick sports, baseball, softball, you get some of those kids that will go off and play travel ball whether it be on a select team or whatever,” added Shaffer. “They come back and they get back involved in the Greenville side of things.

than they lose, but when you see them go through adversity and respond well and come back better the next day, those are the things that our student athletes learn by playing sports.”

“They learn discipline, they learn toughness, they learn how to work hard, they learn how to be a teammate, all those things that maybe aren’t seen on the game field or on the court or out at the track,” continued Shaffer.

“The things that they learn at practice about themselves that maybe they wouldn’t learn, or probably wouldn’t learn if they didn’t do the things do in athletics – so it’s really nice to see our young people grow.”

Engle signs with Bowling Green

By Gaylen Blosser DarkeCountyMedia.com

NEW MADISON – Patriots’ senior, Grace Engle, the daughter of Leslie and Roger Engle signed to cheer for the Bowling Green University Falcons cheerleading team Wednesday at Tri-Village High School.

“I chose Bowling Green because when I stepped on campus I just felt a very homelike community,” Engle said of her college choice. “It reminded me a lot of home. It was somewhere I could picture myself being the next four years.”

“Grace will bring something that not a lot of girls have – her heart and willing to prove to everyone that she can hang and be one of the best girls that she can be,” said Tri-Village cheerleading coach Danielle Bourne. “She’s going to represent Darke County up there well.”

Engle will study Exercise Science while continuing her cheerleading career at the NCAA Division I level.

The Patriots senior has 10 years cheerleading experience and gives much of her success to the program at Tri-Village.

“I have had the best experience here at Tri-

Village during my 10 years of cheerleading from the community, the coaches, my teammates,” Engle said.

“They have all just helped me grow into a person and grow as a cheerleader. I am definitely going to take what I learned from TriVillage to Bowling Green because it has taught me a lot of valuable lessons here.”

“She’s been here for about 10 years,” said Coach Bourne. “I started coaching her when she was my second group of peewee and I have just followed her through junior high and high school, so it’s a little bittersweet to see her go, but to see the girl that started in and the and girl that ended is truly remarkable.”

Engle is ready for the challenge of D-I college athletics.

“I’ll be spending even more time than I do in high school revolving around cheerleading,” Engle stated.

“I am going to be making community appearances, cheering at games, possibly competing at the college level and just continuing my passion of cheerleading.”

“Grace has that heart,” said Bourne. “She’s going to succeed.”

“I would like to thank my coach, Danielle (Bourne) and her mother Darlene,” concluded Engle. “They have helped me since I was literally this tall. I would like to thank my parents for supporting me as well as my teammates and friends.”

Robert Jones named new Patriots coach

By Gaylen Blosser DarkeCountyMedia.com

NEW MADISON – The Tri-Village Athletic Department has selected Bobby Jones and hired by the school’s Board of Education to serve as the Patriots next Head Boys Basketball Coach.

“I am excited about being named the head boys basketball coach at Tri-Village,” said Jones. “I am very familiar with the tradition of excellence established in the boys basketball program here and am looking forward to continuing the tradition. This is a special place with a tremendous amount of support from the community, parents, administration and board of education.”

“Superintendent Josh Sagester, Principal Lee Morris and Athletic Direc-

tor Brad Gray have been outstanding in their support of me getting started at Tri-Village and they are a huge reason that I accepted the head coaching posi- Jones tion,” continued Jones. “I can’t say enough about the support they have given me getting started and am thankful for the confidence they have in me to lead the boys basketball program.”

Coach Jones brings 21 years of coaching experience, 11 of which have been as a head boys basketball coach at Indiana’s Hagerstown High School and Talawanda High School in Ohio.

“The future is very bright for many years to come with the talented group of players we currently have coming through and at the

lower levels,” Coach Jones noted. “We are gearing up for a very busy month of June this summer and I think everyone is excited for the season to get here.

I think fans of TriVillage basketball will appreciate the brand of basketball we will play and the program we will put in place.”

“Hard-nosed defense, relentless rebounding and discipline on offense will be staples of our program,” added Jones. “We are looking forward to establishing those expectations this summer and developing team chemistry in league play at the Northeastern and Twin Valley South leagues as well as team camp at Indiana Wesleyan University in late June.”

Jones has a career record

Byrum takes over UC boy’s basketball program Union City Jr/Sr High School is excited to announce that UC alumni Tom Byrum has been named as head coach of the boys’ basketball program.

The Indians have hired Byrum effectively immediately after being unanimously approved by the Randolph Eastern School Board. A native of Union City, Byrum brings 27 years of experience to the floor.

Over his career Byrum has coached at Union City, Coldwater Ohio, Monroe Central, and most recently

Randolph Southern where he led the Rebels to a sectional title.

Athletic Director Mike Thornburg stated, “We are fortunate to have a veteran coach take over our program with a commitment to developing the student-athlete both on and off the court. Coach Byrum will hit the ground running starting tonight, and we look forward to him having a long and successful career with the UC Indians.”

Thornburg would like to thank the search commit-

tee for their work helping with the interview process.

Several good candidates were interviewed and the committee was in overall agreement that Coach Byrum was the top choice to lead the boys’ basketball program into the future.

Mr. Thornburg also would like to thank the school board and Superintendent Mr. Black for their support.

Coach Byrum had this to say about his coaching “I love coaching the sport but more importantly I love to

“Kasey” Hickman; his stepMemorial contributions may be given in memory of father, Bobby Hickman;

and his father-in-law, Jerry Koverman.

John was a 1977 graduate of Bradford High School.

After graduation, he enlisted in the United States Navy, where he served his country honorably. John was an entrepreneur and a man of many trades. He loved having a good time and had a love for making other people smile. John enjoyed spending time with his family and friends.

When John was not working, you could find him on the golf course. He was an avid golfer and held a coveted professional golfers’ card. John also enjoyed playing softball. He enjoyed coaching local students in many sports and spent many years as a referee for basketball and an umpire for baseball and softball.

He was a proud member of the Bradford’s Athletic Hall of Fame. He was a part of the Sons of the American Legion, a lifetime member of the VFW, and a member of the Greenville Elks.

John was a faithful follower of Christ and a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Greenville. His love for God could be found in his contagious smiles and actions. John so much appreciated life. He knew every day was a gift, and he would try to squeeze as much as he could into each 24-hour period. The last several years revolved around GOLF, whether getting a lesson, playing 18-2736 or more holes a day, or helping someone with their game - He was striving to be better and that spilled over into his everyday life and relationships. John was a tremendous people person - He had a boisterous voice. When he was in a room or area you quickly knew it! But if you told him something in confidence, he would keep it quiet. This scripture verse comes to mind when thinking of John and how he lived - Ephesians 4:32 “and be kind to one other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake has forgiven you.”

In addition to his father, John is survived by his wife, Kimberly (Koverman) Hershey, whom he married on October 10, 2009; his daughters, Jana Davis of Washington Courthouse, Ohio, Jessica (Matt) Bosserman of Greenville, Brenda Hershey of Chicago, Illinois, Aleesha Hershey of Greenville, Jessica (Misti) McEldowney of Columbus, Ohio, Ashley (Aaron Cole) McEldowney of Indianapolis, Indiana, and Olivia (Scott) MacNutt of Columbus, Ohio; his grandchildren, Hunter, Gage, Chasity, Adissyn, Evelyn, Navin, and one on the way; his siblings, Judy (Jim) Bunck of Pleasant

ACES recognizes students

By Ryan Berry

DarkeCountyMedia.com

GREENVILLE – ACES (Achievement Center for Educational Success) held its annual graduation and awards ceremony Wednesday morning at Romer’s in Greenville. The annual event highlights the successes of students at this alternative school.

Jeff Vaughn, coordinator, shared that 31 seniors in the program would be getting their diplomas either at their home schools when the walk with their classmates or at the ACES banquet.

In its 19 years, 741 students have gone through the program in Darke County. Some of those students have returned to their home school and some moved onto the Miami Valley Career Tech-

nology Center and many have gone on to graduate either from their respective school or from the ACES program. Since starting the program, 266 kids have received their diplomas during the annual graduation ceremony. “A lot of these kids would have become just a number if it weren’t for this program,” said Vaughn.

Earlier this year, ACES moved into its new home in the former Darke County Home facility and Vaughn admitted it was a scary transition. He pointed out many of his students are used to a routine and he worried that breaking up the routine would be difficult. However, Vaughn was pleased to announce, “It was a great move.”

In addition to serving most Darke County

schools, ACES also served students from Fort Recovery and Coldwater after Mercer County closed its program. Through the Michael’s Home, ACES helped students from Bethel, Twin Valley South, Piqua and Celina.

“This has been one of our better years,” said Vaughn. Looking at his students he said, “Every one of you are a success.”

The guest speaker for the event was Alexis Eliton. Eliton is a past student who praised the staff and program for helping her become successful. She is currently working at the Whirlpool plant in Greenville.

Students honored for graduating this year were as follows: Arcanum-Butler - Liberty Stricker, Chandler Elifritz, Madelyn Frazier, Tristan

VERSAILLES — Recipient of this year’s Sarah Whittaker Scholarship Fund of the Darke County Foundation is McKayla Hess, daughter of Mike and Ralanda “Randi” Hess of Versailles.

Hess, who graduates from Versailles High School this year, received the $2,500 scholarship from Allen and Karen Whittaker, Sarah’s parents, Monday evening.

She will be attending the University of Findlay, majoring in and obtaining a five-year degree in Nuclear Medicine Technology, Radiology and PET/CT Scans (imaging).

She knows she is also receiving a Merit Scholarship from the college.

Hess knew she wanted to pursue this educational course when her grandmother, Rosemary Mead, died her freshman year.

“My grandmother and grandfather are the reason why I want to go into nuclear medicine,” she said. “My grandmother was an LPN at Rest Haven before she passed away. My grandfather had cancer. I am from a military household and my grandmother helped my

mother to raise me. I grew up worshiping my grandmother and her death hit me hard. With her passing I decided to combine her love of helping others and cancer. I came across nuclear Medicine technology and it was a perfect fit. From that day my freshman year I have known what I wanted to do and I stuck with it.”

Hess said she is active in a variety of band organizations as well as Versailles Busy Beavers 4-H Club and Darke County Junior Fair Board. She is also serving on the 2018 Darke County Fair Court as third runnerup.

“In five years, I see myself having two bachelors of science,” she said. “My first being for nuclear medicine technology, and my second being for Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Technology. I will be done with my clinicals and in a stable job at a local hospital, probably Kettering Health or a different Premier Health hospital. I will be working with cancer patients, preferably, and hopefully curing them of their cancer(s). I will use my two bachelor’s degrees to use all of the imaging machines, except for the X-ray machine, to find my

patients’ tumors. I hope to have saved as many people as I can in that first year. I hope that I put myself in a good position to move up in the ranks of my career.

I hope that in my first five years I get to start saving lives. I hope to cure people of their cancer and help families with the coping process as much as I can.”

The Sarah Whittaker Scholarship is for graduating seniors who have been active in 4-H or FFA. “I have spent 10 years in 4-H with the Versailles Busy Beavers and have learned numerous skills from it,” she said. “The main skill that will help in my career is the leadership skills that I have learned. I will use this skill to lead others in my career and try and help everyone succeed to the best of their ability.”

She also is in a variety of bands, serves on the Darke County Fair Junior Fairboard and was third runnerup in the queen competition at last year’s fair.

At Versailles High School, she was a member of Spanish club, FTA, FCCLA and drama club.

Edison State Nursing graduates earn 100 percent NCLEX pass rate PIQUA - Edison State Community College is proud to announce that 100-percent of the Fall 2018 nursing graduates passed the National Council Licensing Examination (NCLEX).

“The 100-percent pass rate for our most recent nursing graduates is one of many indicators of both the quality of instruction and support from the Edison State faculty and the commitment of our students to do their best throughout their program,” said Edison State President Dr. Doreen Larson.

“These graduates will continue to excel in both patient care and healthcare leadership.”

The exam, developed by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN), is utilized by states and other jurisdictions to determine licen-

sure as a registered nurse; to ensure public protection, and to measure the competencies needed to perform safely and effectively as a newly licensed, entry-level nurse.

There were 36 graduates from the nursing program that took the exam, with 36 earning a passing score. Currently, there are 150 students enrolled in nursing at Edison State Community College, and 54 have been selected to begin the program in January 2020.

As part of their curriculum, students are also required to complete clinical experience. They begin doing so in their first semester with one of three long-term care facilities in the area. The next two semesters they attend clinical in the hospital setting with an Edison State faculty or adjunct as part of a clinical group. Their

final semester is spent in a 96-hour practicum with a nurse that is employed by each facility. This nurse works as a preceptor and is partnered with the student for patient care.

“During all of the clinical experiences students have the opportunity to see a variety of areas of nursing and meet employers,” said Jill Bobb, Nursing Program Director at Edison State.

“Their practicum is an excellent opportunity to interact with the staff, nurses, and managers, in our partner clinical facilities and often leads to an employment opportunity.

These partnerships are vital to our success and allow us to provide rich experiences for our students as well as jobs when they graduate.”

Graduates receive the Associate of Applied Science degree and are eligible to take the NCLEX for

licensure as a registered nurse. Such nurses are prepared to provide direct care to persons with common short-term and longterm illnesses.

The Associate Degree Nursing program at Edison State is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) and approved by the Ohio Board of Nursing. The program consists of sequential courses that require five consecutive terms to complete.

Nursing students currently taking the capstone class will graduate in May and applications are being accepted now through July 31 for students interested in beginning Edison State’s nursing program in January of 2020.

LEGAL NOTICE

RICHMOND, Ind. – Reid Health was one of 293 hospitals in the United States and only 13 in Indiana to receive a five-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in a recent release of data.

Star ratings range from one to five, with the majority falling in the threeand four-star range.

The ratings are based on seven areas – mortality, readmission, safety of care, patient experience, efficient use of medical imaging, timeliness of care, and effective-
