Among other things it teach- es is CNC operation and pro- gramming. "It is a really good pro- gram. . . I don't think peo- ple know what all it involves or get the full impact of what students learn in this pro- gram or how marketable it is," said Suzanne Blake, Su- perintendent of Pike Coun- ty Schools. She said the program at Pike Central is a dual cred- it course for both Vincennes University and Ivy Tech. So students also earn college credit while they are work- ing in high school. It is a perfect lead into pro- grams like VU's. Students can go into the college lev- el programs and get their certification and usually go straight into employment, depending on the company. She said often people think of this as being facto- ry line work in a dirty envi- ronment. But, it is a highly skilled position, requiring a high level of precision and very clean environment. They are also highly sought after employees. "We had another student who went through Pike Cen- tral's program, went college for two years and then went straight to work, earning in the $50,000 to $ 60,000 range," said Blake Pike Central's program is for juniors and seniors. Blake said they want the students to have taken alge- bra and geometry, but they don't have to make A's in those classes. The program is a three- hour block of classes, so stu- dents have to plan ahead to enter the program. "I think we have a per- fect opportunity to get into a field where they are going to be able to earn a good in- come and have a good living. We know a lot of students are struggling to find jobs after they graduate. This is an area where kids can have a lot of success," said Blake. By Andy Heuring A rural Winslow man was charged with possession of child pornography last week after an image on his cell- phone was shown to police. Aaron Douglas Bella- my, 48, of 1953 E. Logtown, Winslow, was arrested last Wednesday. Pike County Sheriff's Sgt. Buck Seger said an acquain- tance of Bellamy ran across the picture on his phone and became concerned about it. That person called police and showed them the image. Sgt. Seger, along with Deputy Jared Simmons and State Trooper C. J. Boeck- man, went to Bellamy's res- idence at about 6:40 p.m. Deputy Seger said when he was pulling in Bellamy's driveway, Bellamy saw him and took off running. Sgt. Seger said he grabbed K9 Officer Bleck's collar and they started running af - ter Bellamy. Seger said he yelled "Sheriff's Office K-9. Stop or you will be bit." He said Bleck started barking loudly and Bellamy stopped running. According to Seger's re- port, Bellamy asked on what charge he was being arrest- ed. When Sgt. Seger told him child pornography, Bella- my denied possessing child porn. Seger said when he told Bellamy he saw it on his phone, Bellamy said it must have been a pop-up because he had been looking for a loan on the dark web. He denied looking at child porn. Bellamy was taken into custody and his phone was confiscated. He was charged with pos- session of child pornogra- phy, a level 5 felony; posses- sion of child pornography, a Level 6 felony, and resisting law enforcement, a class A misdemeanor.

Cockerham-Willis is the main playwrite. He gets some help from Mann, and the others also throw in their ideas. Mann was the director and editor. Kirsten Jansen filmed the movie with her Galaxy cell phone. Church and Jade Johnson were side characters. The group has worked on films for the last three years in Fritz Krahl's Ger- man classes. "We think this is our best film yet. It has been awe- some to be able to write and film together one last time," said Mann. One of the organizers of the contest told the group it is the best film entry he has ever seen while working with the contest. The cast for Recht und Ordnung was: Caleb Cockerham-Willis– Lead Detective and script- writer Trenton Mann–Lead De- tective's partner and main director and editor. Joey Church–Forensic Analyst and true criminal. Jade Johnson–Suspect proven innocent. Kirsten Jansen–Family of the deceased and editor for the movie. Jasmine Pozos–The wit- ness and every female char- acter. Dalton Williams played the dead body. Krahl said the practice of having his German students put together films where they speak German in them is something he has done for years. He said it is a great way for kids to learn Ger- man. Instead of just memo- rizing words and tenses and so on, they actually learn how to speak the language. Krahl said Pike County schools are in the process of extending this type of learn- ing to other subjects. It is a basic concept I don't like normal testing. This shows me they actual- ly know the stuff. Standard tests favor those have good memories," said Krahl. "I can have conversation with all of these students in German. We do that all the time. I talk to them in Ger- man in the hallway and it blows away the other stu- dents," said Krahl. Pike Central German students Kirsten Jansen, Trenton Mann, Jade Johnson, Caleb Cockerham-Willis, Joey Church and German teacher Fritz Krahl hold the certificate for winning the Best Adaptive Screen- writing Award at the Indiana University German studies contest. Fritz Krahl stands next to the display case with previous awards from past years in the contest.
