the YPRA - Thomas Minckler
Memorial Scholarship $2,000 Tom Minckler was a
Pioneer Police K-9 handler. He was a national champion competitor in that
discipline. Tom was also a former D-Y track coach. Disease ended his career
early and took him before his time. -Sergeant Thomas E. Robinson Memorial Scholarship
$2,000 Tom “Robbie” Robinson was a former juvenile
officer. For most of his career he was a beloved patrol supervisor. Cancer
took him in his thirtieth year of service to the Yarmouth Police Department
and Town of Yarmouth. -Cpl. Nicholas G. Xiarhos
Memorial Scholarship $1,000 Nick Xiarhos
was a Member of the Yarmouth Police family. He graduated from D-Y Class of
2006 having enlisted in the United States Marine Corps prior to graduation.
Corporal Xiarhos was killed in Action 2009 serving
with the U.S. Marines in Afghanistan. It was Nicks plan to become a police
officer at the end of his enlistment. A plan unfulfilled. The Thomas Minckler scholarship goes to a student that served at the
Yarmouth Police Department for as a D-Y Worked Based Learning intern for two
solid years, preforming at an outstanding level throughout her tenure. She is
the youngest graduate of our Citizen Police Academy and created her own a
volunteer staff position which she served in for three years; rising to
become a guest speaker during her last session and rabidly availed herself of
every program the Yarmouth Police had to offer during her time with us. The Thomas E. Robinson
Scholarship goes to a student who helped to found the Dennis-Yarmouth Police
Explorers and eventually became its leader. She logged 700 volunteer hours
with or through the Yarmouth Police Department and the Yarmouth-Dennis
Community Emergency Response Team, having worked the Regional Emergency
Shelter with CERT during the three days of Storm Juno until she was actually
ordered her to go home. The Corporal Nicholas G. Xiarhos Scholarship goes to a student whose relentless
and faithful pursuit of a police career, huge heart, and special toughness
makes her the most likely candidate to fulfill Nick’s dream that I we have
ever handed the envelope to. In this case all three
brief descriptions are of the same person. There was insufficient time to
present her whole resume. This outstanding young woman will take home the hat
trick for the first and probably last time in YPRA history. She is the best
investment the Yarmouth Police Relief Association has ever made in the
Yarmouth Police Department from this (D-Y) podium. All three scholarships go
to future (we hope Yarmouth) police officer Melony Ellis.
A very excited YPRA Scholarship
Recipient, Melony Ellis with Yarmouth Police School Resource
Officer Nick Pasquarosa
