Noon-4 p.m. Near the end of the meet- ing, Rick Mathias asked about the status of the town's park board. He was told it was disbanded. "Why did we disband that? " asked Brewster. "It was getting out of con- trol, too many complaints. It was like we created a mon- ster," said Strobel. According to minutes from a specially called meeting on November 28, councilman Greg Simmons moved to dismantle the park board. Strobel second- ed the motion and council- man Brewster did not vote, saying it was a not a legal meeting. During Monday night's meeting, Brewster asked, "So are we going to disband the park? " "No just the board," said Strobel. Brewster also asked if they were going to try to re- form the board in the future. "I think we should try to redo it in the future," said Strobel. The park board has been appointed in the last year. They had numerous discus- sions in the council meet- ing on banning 4-wheeler use in the park. They also confronted the town council about moving a yard debris pile from next to the Com- munity Center to a remote area on park property at a re- cent meeting. In other business, Dave Gayhart said at the waste treatment plant they have been looking at ways to save money and get a better con- trol of their operations. He said talking with different vendors, they have found a program for $7,500 for the year. He said it is a series of different pellets to be put in- to the lagoons. They are sup- posed to reduce the amount of sludge build up on the bot- tom of the lagoon. Gayhart asked if the coun- cil was interested in this pro- gram. He said now they have various vendors saying add this chemical now, and an- other saying do something else at a different time of they year. Gayhart said it would be cheaper and they would have a better grip on exactly what was being added when. Councilmen Brewster asked him to check with the Indiana Department of En- vironmental Management about the process. Council- man Simmons told him to check on the shelf life of the chemicals if they were going to buy them in one purchase for the whole year. Gayhart said he would check on it and report back to them. The council appointed Ly- nette Mathias to the zoning board to fill out the last va- cancy on it. The board now consists of Debbie Lamb, Ralph Bertram, Josh Mc- Donald, Stacy Russell, Mathias and David Gayhart as administrator. Council amended their ordinance from having the water distributor position as the administrator to having the street superintendent being the zoning adminis- trator. Russell said they would start having meetings after the beginning of the year. Councilmen voted to pay the claims of $24,039,24. The next regularly sched- uled meeting is 7 p.m. Mon- day, January 8, 2018, at the Community Center. But a special meeting is sched- uled for 3:30 p.m. Monday, December 18 to discuss em- ployee insurance. It will be at Town Hall. school may be established, which includes details such as the educational method- ology the school will em- ploy," Judge Magnus-Stin- son wrote. "Additionally, charter schools are public- ly funded and, insofar as they draw students from public school corporations, their funding may result in a shift of public funds away from other schools. These decisions, when made by a religious institution, may raise Establishment Clause concerns." "Our chief concern is that Indiana law permits reli- gious institutions like Grace College to decide whether to authorize charter schools," said Cathy Fuentes-Rohwer, chair of ICPE-Monroe Coun- ty, in a press release issued when the lawsuit was filed. "Charter schools are taxpay- er-supported and take mon- ey away from our school cor- porations, so only state and local officials answerable to the public should be able to authorize them." According to a statement issued from Seven Oaks Classical School, a ruling that the Indiana Charter School Act is unconstitu- tional would have far-reach- ing consequences. "If Grace College is struck down by the federal court as an authorizer, then the schools it already has un- der supervision in Indiana will likely have to close, and the charter school program in Indiana, which has long served as a model for other states, will be thrown into chaos," the statement reads. By Andy Heuring A Winslow man was ar- rested on preliminary charg- es of residential entry, crim- inal mischief and public in- toxication Sunday morning when a resident called po- lice claiming an intoxicat- ed neighbor barged into his house and wouldn't leave. Tony K. Garrett, 42, of 304 N. Cherry St., was ar- rested by Pike County Dep- uty Sheriff Jason McKinney after he and several other of- ficers responded to the re- port of a man coming into a house at 12:54 a.m. McKinney said central dispatch got a call from A. J. Wiseman about the intru- sion. When he arrived at the residence, he saw Wiseman outside his residence at 300 N. Cherry St. McKinney said Wise- man told him his family, in- cluding his girlfriend and four-year-old twin daugh- ters, were in the house and Garrett just barged into the house without knocking. Wiseman said he told Gar- rett to leave but he just stood there. So he grabbed Gar- rett and pushed him out the door. During this, he said the door frame was broken. Deputy McKinney said he went next door to talk to Garrett, who admitted to drinking all day. According to McKinney's report, Gar- rett admitted going into the residence without knocking. He added he didn't know if he broke the door frame or not. He tested more than twice the legal limit for blood alco- hol content in Indiana. He was taken into custody. Garrett arrested on multiple charges after incident with neighbor Santa stops in Otwell on Saturday Tyler Mason tells Santa (Mike Capehart) and Mrs. Claus (Mary Capehart) he would like a Chromebook for Christmas. See additional photos on page A-3. By Andy Heuring Traffic stops led to the ar- rest of two people who were arrested on charges of mari- juana possession in separate incidents. A Stanford woman was arrested at 1:08 a.m. Thurs- day, December 7 after po- lice stopped her for driv- ing 91 mph on I-69 near the 41-mile marker. Tracie A. Mathews, 44, was stopped by Pike County Deputy Sheriff Buck Seger and K-9 Officer Bleck. Dep- uty Seger said he noticed Mathews' sunroof was open despite the temperature be- ing 33 degrees. He added she also seemed to be very nervous as he talked with her. He said he asked her to exit the vehicle so Bleck could do a drug sniff around the vehicle. He said Peters- burg Officer Jared Sim- mons, who was assisting, noticed her put something into the pocket of her hood- ie. When asked about it, she said it was a Kleeenex. Officer Bleck, while searching the vehicle, indi- cated illegal substances in the vehicle. Mathews de- nied there was anything il- legal in her car. However, according to Deputy Seger's report, Cpl. Simmons' search of her car found a black digital scale, two Ziploc bags containing what field tested positive for marijuana, a marijuana grinder, rolling papers and a smoking pipe with black residue in it that field tested positive for marijuana. A fter police found the marijuana in the car, they attempted to place her in cuffs, but she turned away from them and reached in- to her hoodie pocket, and attempted to throw a glass smoking pipe that fell to the ground. They then searched her purse and located a cut straw with a white powdery substance and a bag con- taining a white crystal sub- stance, which field tested to be methamphetamine. She was taken into cus- tody and preliminarily charged with possession of meth, less than five grams; possession of marijuana, ob- struction of justice and pos- session of paraphernalia. A Washington man was arrested at about 3:30 a.m. Friday after police stopped a car southbound on Highway 57 that had crossed the cen- terline three times, accord- ing to Petersburg Cpl. Jared Simmons. The car was being driv- ing by Charlie Greenwell. K-9 Officer Bleck did a sniff around the vehicle and indi- cated on the driver's side of the car. A search of the vehicle found a jacket in the back- seat that had digital scales and a hypodermic needle. The syringe field tested pos- itive for meth. Cpl. Simmons said back- seat passenger Kenneth Morning told police the jack- et was his, but the syringe and scales were someone else's and he had just picked them up for that person. Morning, 46, of 712 Lin- coln St., Washington, was arrested on preliminary charges of possession of methamphetamine, unlaw- ful possession of a syringe and possession of parapher- nalia. Traffic stops lead to two marijuana arrests
