Butler Police Reserve Officer Thomas Millington helps several children during their “Shop with a Cop” trip recently. Thanks to generous donations from the community, including businesses, industries and individuals, Butler Police were able to make Christmas brighter for 20 children. Police accompanied children on their shopping trip and treated them to a special dinner.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR ‘Shop with a Cop’ was a big success To the editor, As the Chief of Police for the city of Butler I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who supported the “Butler Shop with a Cop” program this year. We took kids shopping on two nights this year on Dec. 18 and 20. We started out with dinner at Applebee’s and then went to the Auburn Walmart for a night full of shopping excitement. We were very, very fortunate this year to have so many people supporting this great project. This was a record year for donations. We were able to take 20
kids shopping this year from some great families. Kids were able to pick out gifts for any family members they wished and then gifts for themselves. This year, we had a lot of help from some of the top supporters from Autoline Industries when it came time to help the kids pick out gifts: Terisa Beard, Johnette Berry, Chris Baughman, and Cheryl Trenary. On behalf of the Butler Police Department, I would like to thank the following businesses and people who donated to the project this year, and a few folks also who wished to remain anonymous: Autoline Industries, Butler One Stop, DeKalb Molded Plastics, Steel
Dynamics, Butler Fire Department, ColorMaster, Auburn Applebee’s, Clara Jennings, Kirk Casebere, Walmart Distribution Center, Robert Beck, Erwin Auto, Kitchen Auto Body, Dave Prosser, Air Products, Sudz Car Wash and Laundromat, Paragon Steel, Workers World, Butler Automotive, Steve Jennings, Collins Tavern, Margaret Wilson, Glenda and Jimmie Eck, New Process Steel, Jerry Markle, City Councilman Jerry Eldridge and Butler Eagles. Thanks to all of our supporters. When we pull together as a community, there is no limit to what we can achieve. Chief Jim Nichols Butler Police Department

Amateur radio license class to be offered AUBURN — The Northeastern Indiana Amateur Radio Club will be conducting a training course for anyone interested in acquiring a “ham” radio license, issued by the Federal Communications Commission. Amateur radio license holders, sometimes referred to as “hams” number more that 700,000 in the United States, and they use their radio equipment to communicate with each other all over the world. The training will prepare
students for the Technician Class of license, which is the entry level for amateurs. There is no longer a Morse code requirement for amateur licensing, and there is no minimum age restriction. Students and adults of all ages are welcome. The classes will be held each Monday and Thursday evening through the month of January and will run from 6-8:30 p.m. in the Red Room of the DeKalb County Courthouse annex building, 215 E. 9th St. in Auburn.
There is no charge for the classes, and successful completion will qualify students to take the FCC license exam. There is a $14 exam fee, and successful applicants are issued a renewable license good for a period of 10 years. To arrange registration for classes, contact Dave Southern, KC9YY, at 925-1673 or by cell phone at 416-2507. Pre-registration is required so adequate materials can be made available.
