Roar Award Winners From Salem School Board
Monday night at the regular December meeting of the Salem Community Schools Board, two ROAR awards were given out.
Jamey Wilson and Greyson Brough were recognized for outstanding achievements.
In other business, the board accepted resignations of Ashley Trueblood as SHS Library assitant, Patty Little who retired from SMS as attendance clerk and Trina Wells who retired from Bradie Shrum as an instructional assistant.
Those hired for extra curricular activities were:
- Paul Blevins – 6th Grade Girls Basketball Coach
- Kurtis Walters – Middle School Wrestling Coach
- Montana Wilson – Volunteer, High School basketball
- Joe Bortka – Volunteer, High School wrestling
- JD Rockey – Volunteer, Middle School wrestling
- Brett Walters – Volunteer, Middle School wrestling
- Wade Tomlinson – Volunteer, Boys and Girls Basketball
Rachel Huffaker was hired as a new Middle School Attendance Clerk, to serve through the end of the school year.
Several donations were accepted to the school including:
- $100 from SHS Counseling to be used for students in need of milk/lunch money.
- $125 from the First Christian Church Women’s Group. They asked the money be used for students in need of lunch/milk money.
- Salem High School French Club received a $150 donation from Anthony Ooley.
The board also passed a registered sex offender policy, prohibiting registered sex offenders from being on school property and allows for the person, when identified, to be removed and prosecuted for criminal trespass.
A student who is on the sex offender registry may be assigned alternative education, as deemed appropriate by school officials and consistent with state and federal laws.
Limited circumstances may occur when a registered sex offender has either a right or a legitimate educational need to come upon school property. In such case, prior to entering the property, the offender must contact the principal to establish a written Individual Access and Child Protection Plan.
The board also approved AD Hank Weedin to sell old scoreboards that were recently replaced in the main high school gym. The board deemed them useless and obsolete. Another school indicated interest in buying them.
The board also approved to renew a 2016 General Obligation Bond CD to be renewed every 30 days at Old National Bank.
“The grant administrator with the Safe Room project suggested we keep some of the money at the school district for initial invoices and find a short term investment vehicle for the remainder until needed for construction costs,” said Kim Thurston.
The CD would be for a little over $1.7 million and earn a .63 interest rate when maturity on January 4, 2017. Thurston received approval to renew the CD every 30 days until construction begins.
The board also approved a conflict of interest waiver and contest between the school board, Dr. Reed and Susan Traynor Chastain of the law firm Lewis Kappes in Indianapolis.
The firm has represented the school in the past and currently represents the school on various matter unrelated to Dr. Reed’s current contract.
Reed received board approval through her contract to hire Chastain to represent her and draft her contract that was adopted by the board in 2011.
In a related matter, the board voted 4-3 to not extend the continuous 5 year contract clause of Dr. Reed’s current contract.
Erika Garloch made the motion, which was seconded by Mark Abbott. Becky White and Monika Spaulding voted in favor of not extending. Steve Motsinger, Diana Armstrong and Dr. Tricia Wheeler voted in favor of keeping the contract the same.
In other business, the board also voted in favor of authorizing a retirement incentive for teachers nearing the end of their careers.
The measure, approved tonight on a 7-0 vote, gives departing teachers $20,000 to apply toward health insurance premiums and other post-retirement costs. The payout would come in a lump sum. The other option is to take $25,000 in three $8,333.33 installments for three years.
These would both be contributed to the teachers VEBA account.
The program aims to save the district money by replacing veteran staff at higher pay scales with potentially lower-cost replacements.
Any certified staff who submits a retirement letter to the Superintendent by 4p on March 3, 2017 and indicates their retirement effective at the conclusion of the 2016-17 school year will receive the benefit providing they retire in good standing.
Since summer school is considered an extension of the previous school year, certified teachers who have previously taught summer school may teach summer school in 2017 without jeopardizing their ability to qualify for the incentive.
The written intent to participate is irrevocable after 4p on March 3, 2017.
It is not known at this time how many teachers the board expects to take the offer.
CAP Helps 499 Children Have A Special Christmas
Christmas giving brings together a community like nothing else.
“When you see the Indianapolis Metro Police Department take 34 kids shopping from all around Indianapolis and Salem’s Shop With A Cop is able to help 200 children, that says a lot,” said Salem Police Department Major Detective Scott Ratts.
“Our community really gives and that makes it a really good thing. We live in a great community and it’s our community who comes together for this,” Said Ratts on WSLM’s Coffee Club program Tuesday morning.
Christmas is going to be a lot brighter and happier for nearly 500 children in Washington County thanks to the Christmas Assistance Program, headed up by Amy Crane and Southern Hills Church.
“We had 499 kids in the program,” said Crane. “We gave 100 kids to Shop With A Cop, 101 to Colie Clause (John Jones GM City’s program), 90 to the Salvation Army and the rest were taken care of by numerous churches, businesses and individuals!”
According to Ratts, the Shop With A Cop event was held at Salem’s new Walmart this year.
“We had 100 names and actually took 86 children shopping and had volunteers shop for the other 14,” said Ratts. “Walmart gave us 10 percent off at the end, which amounted to about $1600.”
Spending about $100 on smaller children and $160 on teens, the focus is on clothing.
“We try to spend $130 on clothing and $30 on a toy,” said Ratts. “I’ve gone to pick up kids before and they’ve come out and I said, you need to go in and get a coat and the little girl said I don’t have a coat. It made me feel about an inch tall.”
The focus is on underwear, socks, gloves, coats and shoes.
He said police would be buying for an additional 100 children in the coming week. “We’ve been extremely blessed this year,” he said, regarding donations.
Those children will be taken care of through Linck’s Clothing in Salem. “A lot of that will be done with Rita Links. I give her a name and a list. She’ll get it all together – clothes, shoes and toys. She really takes care of us on that and I just need to come and pick it up.”
Asked if there needed more donations and help, Ratts said he could use help with deliveries.
“Actually, tomorrow, I was going to do some deliveries on Wednesday at 4p. If anyone would like to help, meet me at the SPD,” Ratts said. “Just show up with a car and a little bit of gas and the willingness to go out and make a kids day.” He said there were 35 bags to deliver.
The event brings together not only the community, but all divisions of law enforcement: Salem Police, Pekin Town Marshall, Washington County Sheriff’s Department, EMTs, Conservation Officers and State Police, Fire Departments.
“You see a whole different person watching them shop for these children,” said Coffee Club host Becky White.
Ratts noted, “It’s a lot of fun. I have a blast doing it. Eric and Tera Mills took the reigns this year. They did an awesome job. Eric’s still working on some things. We have the entire sally port filled with packages to be delivered.”
Mills even brought Brigo, his K-9 to the event last Saturday.
In addition to law enforcement officials on hand to help, there were cheerleaders from Salem, East Washington and West Washington.
Washington County Sheriff’s Deputy Jim Strange said, “Without the volunteers and without our community this isn’t possible. When you hear Shop with a Cop and you hear someone is having an event for Shop With a Cop….it’s about giving.”
Ratts said he estimated the Shop With A Cop event has been going on for about 30 years and hads its origin with former Salem officers Marlon Robinson and Eugene Helms.
Jim…we’re just one of several organizations who work through CAP…without Amy and countless hours put into this, it couldn’t be done.
Crane said applications are planned to be sent out next year around November 2nd-4th. For more information, you can reach Crane at Southern Hills Church at 812-883-1637

A big announcement was made for Indiana in regards to women’s golf Tuesday morning on WSLM’s Coffee Club by French Lick Resort Marketing Manager Steve Rondinaro.
French Lick Resort will host the first-ever Senior LPGA Championship. The Championship will be next summer July 10, 2017 through July 12, 2017. The winner will get $600,000.
The Championship will be part of the Legends Tour, which is made up of veteran LPGA players who are 45 and older.

ISP Receives Donation of 95 Automatic External Defibrillators
This morning, Monday, December 12, 2016, the Bolt For The Heart (BFTH) foundation continued to deliver on the promise to equip Indiana State Police patrol vehicles with lifesaving Automatic External Defibrillators (AED) with the gift of 95 additional AED’s.
This was in addition to the more than 50 AED’s presented to ISP in March of this year.
At the presentation event, held at the State Fairgrounds’ Indiana Farm Bureau Building, the Superintendent of the Indiana State Police, Doug Carter, thanked Pierre Twer, founder of the BFTH organization.
Additional speakers present at today’s donation event were members of the various organizations that made today’s donation event possible: Jon Goble, president of IU Health North Central Region, Greg Dedinsky MD, cardiac surgeon from Columbus Regional Health, and Lt. David Kirkham, president of the Indiana State Police Alliance.
What truly helped bring home the importance and significance of the donation of AED’s was the personal story story shared by Pastor Daniel Schumm, of Cornerstone Lutheran Church, Carmel.
His recounting of how an AED being present at the right place, and at the right time, cemented in everyone’s mind the lifesaving capability of an AED when it’s readily available.
More About Bolt For The Heart
The donation of the AED’s to the state police was borne the result of an experience Pierre Twer had while running in the 2010 Boston Marathon.
During that race Pierre witnessed another marathon runner suffer a cardiac arrest. That runner was saved by an AED.
This inspired Pierre to collaborate with Heart Reach Carmel and establish the Bolt for the Heart 5K Family Thanksgiving Run, of which 2016 was the fifth year for the run and the second consecutive year the Indiana State Police was the primary recipient of the AED’s. Since its inception, this 5K run has grown from 41 runners to more than 2,800 that participated this past Thanksgiving Day.
Each year since the run started 100% of the proceeds have been used to purchase AED’s for donation to not for profit organizations.
In 2015, the Board of Directors of Bolt for the Heart identified the Indiana State Police as the recipient of AED’s from funds raised in the 2015 Thanksgiving Day run, which ISP Supt. Carter was also a registered runner. In fact Supt. Carter ran the entire 5K run in full state police uniform!
At the conclusion of the press conference attending troopers were issued their AED’s and placed window stickers on their patrol cars to easily identify the police vehicle was equipped with an AED.
History & Source of AED’s Donated to ISP Through BFTH:
2014 = Bolt Donation Day 5 AED’s
2015 = Bolt for the Heart Race, Presented in 2016 55 AED’s
2016 = IU Health Donation Day 15 AED’s
2016 = IU Health Additional Surprise 50 AED’s
2016 = Indiana State Police Alliance 10 AED’s
2016 = IU Health Community Engagement Dept 30 AED’s
2016 = Bolt for the Heart Race 50 AED’s
215 AED’s
