Wall was stopped on October 6th and was found to have an outstanding contempt of court charge.

According to Sheriff Roger Newlon, evidence at the stop lead to a search warrant being issued for Wall’s home.

“We ended up charging him for one Count of Possession of a Synthetic drug, an A misdemeanor,” said Newlon. “A synthetic drug is like spice…that type of thing,” said Newlon.

Wall was also charged with Maintaining a Common nuisance, level 6 Felony, Operating while License Suspended, A Misdemeanor.

Newlon said on October 9th in the evening, another traffic stop yielded the arrest of Schaffer.

“Evidence in the vehicle and his statements lead to a search warrant of his residence and property,” said Newlon. “He also had a writ of attachment for failure to appear.”

Schaffer was charged with two counts of Possession of a Synthetic Drug, both A Misdemeanors.

Newlon said the drug was found in both the home and some in the car.

Schaffer was also charged with Two counts of Maintaining a Common Nuisance, Level 6 Felonies; Two counts of Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, A Misdemeanor.

Newlon said Marijuana plants were found behind Schaffer’s garage and he was also charged with one count of Possession of Marijuana, a B Misdemeanor.

Newlon said the investigation continues with Schaffer due to the seizure of several guns at the home.

On both cases, Pekin Town Marshall Jeff Thomas assisted.

Gilchrist leaving local YMCA after 19 months

0

The Washington County Family YMCA’s Board of Directors has announced they have accepted the resignation of current CEO Rob Gilchrist. Gilchrist will be relocating to upstate New York to lead the Hornell Area YMCA.

Gilchrist started the position in Salem on March 24, 2014. Gilchrist previously served as the aquatics and fitness coordinator for the City of Bloomington Parks and Recreation Department. Prior to that, he was an associate professor at the IU School of Public Health.

The move is a homecoming for Gilchrist who is a native of the Steuben County where Hornell is located.

Dr. Lynn Reed, the YMCA’s Board President expressed the organization’s appreciation of his service. “I’d like to thank Rob for his enthusiastic, thoughtful and forward thinking leadership.  Under his guidance, membership and donations have increased and other Y staff members have been given the opportunity to use their talents to improve program offerings to our community.  While we are saddened by the loss of him and his family, we are pleased for them to be returning to their hometown where they will be close to family.”

The decision to leave his post in Washington County was not easy for Gilchrist.

“This decision has been very difficult for my family and me. In the end, we made the decision based on our desire to raise our children around family. Our short time in Washington County helped us to realize the importance of family roots. We witnessed the positives experienced by those who are so integrated in the community and we longed for such a connection for our children.”

The Y has not decided who will replace Gilchrist.

Dr. Reed is working with the volunteer board to navigate the transition. “The YMCA board will meet October 19th to discuss strategy for securing new leadership.”

Gilchrist feels strongly that the organization is poised for continued success. “Our YMCA is in good hands. We have a talented and dedicated group of volunteers and staff members. I expect the Y will not miss a beat in it’s efforts to strengthen community.”

The YMCA relies on the time, talents and treasures of the community to offer valuable programs and services. For more information on how YOU can impact our community, or to learn more about how to give, contact the Y via info@wcfymca.org .

Reds’ Browning to speak at New Chapter Meeting of the Reds Hall of Fame at SHS on Oct. 26 at 6:30p; New Members Receive 1990 Reds World Series Commemorative Ring

0

Salem, IN – Cincinnati Reds Hall of Famer Tom Browning will be in Salem on Monday, October 26 at Salem High School’s presentation room to encourage baseball fans to join the newest Reds Hall of Fame Chapter, starting with the help of Reds Radio Affiliate WSLM.

The new chapter will be called the Southern Indiana Reds Hall of Fame Chapter and will join other chapters, including Lexington, Indianapolis and three in Ohio.  With the new Southern Indiana Chapter, there are 10 Reds Hall of Fame Chapters with more in the works.

“We are so excited about setting up a new chapter in Reds Country,” said Sherry Rowland, Hall of Fame Membership Coordinator.  “Reds Hall of Fame Members receive exclusive member gifts during the season which include bobble heads, and members enjoy special benefits such as 10% discount on Hall of Fame merchandise, discounts on special events, one Redsfest pass, one year admittance into the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum, admittance into the National Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, and more”

Admission to the event in Salem is $5 for current Hall of Fame members and $15 for non-members. Non-members can join at the event and then pay the $5 member fee.

For those who join the Reds Hall of Fame at this event, they will receive a 1990 Commemorative Reds World Series Ring. Rowland said the $5 or $15 Admission goes directly to support  the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum. Find membership levels and pricing at www.redsmuseum.org or call Rowland at 513-765-7926. 

“We will have a small auction with an awesome item or two from the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum that our guests will be able to bid on,” said Rowland. “We want this to be a great experience for fans.”

Not only will you be able to get more information about the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum, said WSLM Owner and General Manager Becky White, “but you’ll be able to ask Browning questions during the presentation. You’re going to be able to get an autograph from Mr. Perfect, Tom Browning!”  

On the night of Sept. 16, 1988, Tom Browning pitched the 13th perfect game in baseball history and the first in the history of baseball’s oldest professional team.

Browning will speak for about an hour and guests will be able to sign up to participate in the silent auction on the Reds Hall of Fame items.  

“We encourage Reds fans from all over the WSLM listening area and Southern Indiana to participate in this new venture,” said White. “The chapter will be a way to collectively meet during the year and get together for special events.”

Rowland said she needs at least 25 members to establish an official chapter of the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and Museum in Salem. An official charter listing the original members will be presented at an event in the chapter’s area, and this will hang in the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum. The chapter will be listed on the Hall of Fame website page at www.redsmuseum.org

During the coming year, there will be a Chapter Day at the Hall of Fame which will include an exclusive event at the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum.

All chapter members will receive membership benefits at the level at which they choose to join and the membership is valid for one year.

The Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and Museum opened to the public on September 25, 2004 to honor the home of professional baseball.  Spanning the history of the Cincinnati Reds from inception to modern times, the museum showcases the world’s largest public collection of Reds memorabilia and artifacts.  With more than 16,000 square feet of exhibit space on two floors, the Hall of Fame is an interactive facility that focuses on both entertainment and education.  The Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and Museum is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization.  It is open year-round and is located at Great American Ball Park, home of the Cincinnati Reds, at 100 Main Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202.

Preschool Owner Arrested For Allegedly Hitting 2 Year Old in 2013

0

The owner of a Mitchell preschool and wife to Mitchell School Board President Chris Shaw, was arrested Saturday and charged with hitting a 2-year-old boy in the face, giving him a bloody nose.

april shaw-thumb-250xauto-5132

April L. Shaw, 51, Mitchell, was booked into the Lawrence County jail Saturday on a warrant for battery on a person younger than 14, a Class D felony.

Shaw, the wife of Mitchell school board President Chris Shaw, posted a $755 cash bond later in the day. She is the owner of Lollipops And Rainbows Preschool.

According to a Lawrence County Superior Court I probable cause affidavit, the boy was injured by Shaw after she struck him because he “had an accident in his pants ” at the daycare located on Dixie Highway between Bedford and Mitchell.

The mother learned about the incident and spoke with a former employee who was working the day it happened, which was sometime between October and December 2013.

The employee told the child’s mother she saw Shaw strike the 2-year-old boy causing his nose to bleed.

The child’s parents told police they did not give permission to the daycare to use corporal punishment to correct their child.

After the parents reported the incident to police, the Indiana State Police investigated. ISP Det. Brad Stille interviewed the employee who witnessed the incident.

The employee told police she saw Shaw “smack” the boy twice in the face. The employee says that just prior to striking the toddler Shaw was upset because of a problem with her daughter (who works at the preschool).

A second employee also witnessed the incident.

A forensic interviewer spoke to the child who claimed “his teacher, April, smacked him in the face while he was at school.”

The preschool, operated by Shaw and her daughter, opened in August 2010 in the former La-Or-Ma Shrine Club building.
