Carlisle Fire Department April Report....

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 24 May 2010 19:14:00 +0000

May 24, 2010

Here is a report submitted by new Fire Chief, Krista Wyatt for the month of April for the Carlisle Fire Department.

TO: Sherry C. Callahan, City Manager
FROM: Krista R. Wyatt, Fire Chief
DATE: April 30, 2010

SUBJECT: April 2010 Monthly Report
Our calls consisted of:
Wires Down – 1
Motor Vehicle Accident – 3
Controlled burn – 1
Carbon Monoxide Detector Activation w/o Illness – 1
Grass/refuse fire – 1 (caboose being demolished)
Search for missing child – 1
Automatic Aid - 3 to Franklin

With the resignation of Lt. Rowland, I began a promotion process for a new Lieutenant. The testing and interview process will begin the week of May 17th to allow the candidates to prepare. My hopes are to have the new Lieutenant promoted by May 31st at the latest. In the meantime, we will use the Watchman position to fill in. To date, the position has been working very well.

Planning for Rail Road Days has started. The event will be Aug. 20th & 21st. There was some confusion on the original date as school is starting on the 25th. The thought was that we needed to have the event on the prior weekend which made it conflict with other events. A gentleman from the community spoke with the school and after multiple conversations with the school officials we have decided to keep the event on the third weekend.

I met with the state fire inspector to inspect the Carlisle Manor nursing home and it went very well. The facility is well maintained and the staff was very open to making corrections where needed. Typically, the state will send their inspector in and he or she will return for follow-up actions. The state is becoming more stringent in their inspections and I am aware of several facilities that are being held in non-compliance. Carlisle Manor was in such good condition, the inspector found very few issues and on most of them, he has allowed me to be the follow-up person. This speaks very well for the facility and the City as it shows we are properly following the state codes.

The new day care facility on Union Road received a final inspection and they should be opening sometime in the month of May. The firefighters were able to tour the building to learn the lay-out of the rooms, fire alarm system, and mechanical room set-up.

The mock crash at the high school was scheduled for the 30th, however, there was a communication problem and there were no cars brought to the school. Care Flight coordinates with AAA to have the previously wrecked cars delivered to the school and they were not sure what happened. There was also a problem with the helicopter availability as two of the three were out of service. The event has been postponed until May 6th.

Chief Bruck thanked council for having him here in Carlisle, stated he retired from Middletown in 2007 and enjoyed his work, didn’t realize how much he missed the experience until he was called to work for the City of Carlisle. Chief Bruck stated he has been here 10 weeks and has reviewed the policy procedures, stated the basic are there but still a lot of work is needed to be done. There are training issues, we do have May training scheduled. Chief Bruck stated he has been talking with the officers regarding their interest and needs. Chief Bruck stated he has taken a look to see what’s missing in the community and what does the community expect from their police officers. Chief Bruck attended the Lions Fish Fry and actually “stopped” a train on the tracks for the Pony Tail League Parade.

Council Report:
Mrs. Long commented on how wonderful the RailRoad Crossings are. Long time coming.
Mrs. Callahan stated that CSX have completed all the tracks except for Central Ave. and they are waiting until school is out to complete.

Mr. Winkler commented on how nice the tracks at Lower Carlisle Road. Mr. Winkler wanted to recognize Besty Parr, who is a resident of Carlisle and is the Clerk of Council for Middletown. Mrs. Parr was recently elected Clerk of the Year by her colleagues.
Mr. Green thanked the Service Department for keeping up with everything. The grounds really looks nice.

Mr. Green invited the public to the parade for the Carlisle Baseball Association on Friday at 7PM. Heater the mascot from the Dayton Dragon will be there.
Mr. Lickliter questioned the comment in the newspaper regarding the caboose that caught fire. Mrs. Callahan stated the caboose was not on fire, a piece of hot metal fell in the grass and caught the grass on fire under the caboose.
Mr. Winkler asked about the house on Fairview on the hill, this building is empty and has a lot of debris, broken glass panel, needs cleaned up. Mrs. Callahan stated it does need cleaned up and is on the city’s list to do so. At this time, we have no contact with the owners but staff is trying to determine who owns the property.

Roll call: Mr. Green, aye; Mayor Humphries, aye; Mr. Lickliter, aye; Mrs. Long, aye; Mr. Winkler, aye.

Discussion: Mrs. Callahan stated the supplemental for $2,200 is for a new mower for the Service Department. This is a larger mower than the one we traded thus the difference in cost needed to purchase new mower. $11,200 is needed for bridge load ratings. The National Bridge Inspection Standards is now requiring that the city needs to have all bridge in the City load rated. This is a unfunded mandate and if not done may jeopardize federal funding.
Mr. Lickliter made a motion to adopt, seconded by Mrs. Long.

Carlisle Sophomores visit New York...

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 13:07:00 +0000

Around 40 Sophomores from Carlisle High School were able to experience New York City this past week on a Field Trip to the Big Apple. The group enjoyed many fascinating landmarks that enhanced their knowledge of information. This information stemming from the wonderful topics the teachers have been covering with the students in American History class. They were able to see firsthand some of the many topics they have been discussing all year long like the Rockefeller, Harlem Renaissance, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island (Immigration), United Nations, Empire State Building, and Wall Street.

The students also were able to catch a Broadway show, "Wicked". "Wicked" was a prequel to "The Wizard of Oz". This tied into the curriculum they have been going through with discussing "The Wizard of Oz" and the connection to populism in class.

Teacher, Kelly Crowe, said, "The Sophomores that we took were an amazing group. They had a great learning experience while touring the amazing city! Other teachers that chaperoned the trip were Principal Matt Bishop, Jeff Waugh, Bill Taggart, Sam Lee, and Heather Allison.

Public Forum:
Mr. Terry Johnson of 290 Baker Lane requested that he would like to have his meeting scheduled that was promised to him. Mr. Johnson stated if it is a problem getting everyone here we could hold the meeting after the next council meeting. Mayor asked Mrs. Callahan if that would be possible then council could decide whether to stay or not.
Mr. Winkler stated he had called Mrs. Callahan last week when there was a meeting scheduled and told her he was running late but was on his way. Mrs. Callahan, Chief Bruck, Lt. Sylder were in attendance and I (Mr. Winkler) was on my way. Mrs. Callahan called Mr. Winkler back and told him not to come that Mr. Johnson and his brother had left. Mr. Johnson stated and “wanted to reschedule.” Mr. Johnson stated the way the meeting came about was that Mr. Johnson showed up and talked with Mrs. Callahan and she said she would let me know about the meeting. I had a job two hours away pouring a slab that I was committed to. Mr. Johnson called Mr. Green and gave him his phone number and told him that he may be out of range but would be able to receive his message in a few hours. Mr. Green told Mr. Johnson that if he heard anything he would let me know. I didn’t hear anything Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Mr. Johnson stated he started pouring concrete at 8AM on Monday, received a message from Mrs. Callahan at 8:12am calling to schedule a meeting at 6PM Monday evening. Mr. Johnson stated in the meeting last week Mrs. Callahan said she wanted the new councilmembers to hear this for the first time and so I rushed home and called Fred and we came to the meeting, not one council member was there, not one. Mrs. Long stated she did not understanding what Mr. Johnson is wanting. Mrs. Long asked Mr. Johnson, you want all of council to be there? Mr. Johnson stated that is what she told me I could have. Mrs. Long stated we all cannot meet with you without having a scheduled meeting that is against our rules. We cannot do that.

Mr. Green stated he had called Mrs. Callahan and said he was not available for the Monday night meeting. Mrs. Callahan had not heard from Mr. Boschert other than if he could not make
it he would contact Mr. Johnson personally and that is what Mr. Boschert did. Mr. Green stated to Mr. Johnson if you are wanting this large number of people together whether its council members or some composite of it that Mr. Johnson, you would need to be flexible as far as time goes because getting all those people together is going to be a bear. Mr. Green stated he guessed the offer is, in order to make the meeting we would need to find a time available for everyone. Mr. Green stated he knew he was available on Tuesday evening. Mrs. Callahan stated, I don’t know if my staff is available that late at night. That is the reason I tried to do it last week, that was the only time Lt. Slyder was available that is why we did it on Monday. Mrs. Callahan stated she had spoken with Mr. Boschert on Friday morning and he told her that if he (Mr. Boschert) was not able to make it he would call Mr. Johnson. Mrs. Callahan stated she e-mailed everyone again and the only persons she thought was coming was Mr. Green and Mr. Green let Mrs. Callahan know around 1PM by e-mail on Monday that he was sorry but something came up and he could not attend the meeting. Mrs. Callahan stated she knew that much, she did not know at that time about Mr. Boschert whether he was or not attending the meeting. Mr. Winkler had the time before indicated he would like to be here, so I knew possibly Mr. Green, Mr. Boschert interrupted and stated he had called Mr. Johnson but had not informed Mrs. Callahan about not being able to make the meeting. Mrs. Callahan stated she saw Chad Johnson that day because he happened to be in the office for another reason and he said he wasn’t coming tonight. Mrs. Callahan stated she wasn’t expecting him but thanked him for letting her know, because you (Mr. Green) had said something to Mr. Boschert that this is your ward at a previous council meeting so I expected you two and I knew that from last time that Mr. Winkler was interested those are the only three I expected because I could only have three at a time. Mrs. Callahan stated she confirmed as soon as she could confirm with Mr. Johnson as soon as she knew Mr. Winkler was coming, she didn’t know if Mr. Boschert was or wasn’t but assumed he was and she knew Mr. Green wasn’t later that day. Mrs. Callahan stated she could not wait any longer not to confirm with you. Mr. Boschert stated that basically he did not want to be the holdup and Mr. Boschert stated he would get a hold of Mr. Johnson if he (Mr. Boschert) could not make the meeting, which he did. Mr. Boschert stated because he wanted Mr. Johnson to have his meeting.

Mrs. Callahan stated that Lt. Slyder was there, Chief Bruck was there and the Chief has offered twice to meet with you one on one. Chief Bruck is new and I wanted him to hear your side of the story. Chief Bruck has offered twice to meet with you and you told him no, the last time he asked you if you wanted to meet with him one on one, this was on Monday night and you stated no and you and your brother left. So he said fine if you change your mind give him a call. Mrs. Callahan stated she knows he’s called at least once prior to that to try and set a meeting up. Mr. Terry Johnson stated he’s never called me, but I got the word that he’d talk with me. That’s not it I was told I would have this meeting and that’s what I want to have.
Mr. Green asked Mr. Johnson if there were any days throughout the middle of the day that your available and is that a option for you? Mr. Johnson stated yes. Mrs. Callahan stated during regular business hours is fine. Mrs. Callahan stated if Mr. Johnson would call Flo with what dates/times during regular business hours he’s available then she could contact Council
and try and set the meeting up. Mr. Boschert commented would be better mid day or afternoon.
Mr. Martin Neal of 436 W. Lomar stated he has listened to the same request three different times from Mr. Terry Johnson. Mr. Neal stated his personal belief is that we have a strong City Manager Government. Mr. Neal said if he came to council with a request and asking for a special meeting with council to discuss a private grievance that you would turn him down flat. Thank you.

Council Report:
Mrs. Long stated that at the meeting before there had been dates associated with Mr. White attending a council meeting and Mrs. Long moved to have an open invite whenever he is available to attend a council meeting. Mr. Winker commented that he thought Mrs. Callahan had stated that Mr. White was not available during the month of March but would confirm when he would be. Mrs. Callahan commented that Mr. White said he might be available April 13th but he has not confirmed. Mrs. Long stated she just wanted this to be an open invite whenever he is available.
Mr. Winkler stated he received a phone call from a lady who visits Roscoe Roof Park on a daily basis and she has observed that people walking their dogs are not cleaning up after them. Mr. Winkler asked if you’re going to walk your dog in the park please clean up after them. Also the lady witnessed a dog running free and jumped upon a lady and knocked her down. The dog was friendly and the lady was not hurt, but the city does have a leach law and people should abide by this and keep their dogs on leaches.
Mr. Green welcomed everyone who came out this evening. Mr. Green commented that he spoke with Tony Carpenter, owner of Beyond the Green House, regarding the War Memorial.
Mr. Green encouraged Mr. Carpenter to submit a proposal and Mr. Green offered an invitation for him to meet with Council. Mr. Carpenter felt he could propose a way to enhance other services so that there would be no or little cost to the city. Mr. Carpenter stated he would show a preliminary as well as a finished sketch. Mr. Carpenter is an architect in landscaping, and would not charge for his drawings. Mrs. Callahan suggested that Mr. Carpenter should present his presentation to the Park Board first and get their opinions and then bring to the Council. Mr. Green stated this is mostly labor enhanced and should be completed by Memorial Day. Mrs. Callahan stated she would ask Mr. Casson to spray paint the right of way.
Mr. Boschert announced that the JEMS Board met last Monday. Mr. Boschert stated he was not aware that while the chassis is being worked on the company gave JEMS a loaner to use so that we were not down one vehicle.
Mr. Boschert reminded everyone that the Census forms are out. Mrs. Long asked if there were blank forms here at Town Hall in case someone does not receive a form. Mrs. Callahan stated yes. Located in the hall way. Mr. Boschert asked Mrs. Callahan about the big chunks of rock
out on Park Drive, that were left behind from CSX when leaving their project. Mrs. Callahan stated would contact someone about cleaning up their mess when leaving.
Mr. Johnson commented that he has received a couple of phone calls regarding the rocks also. Mr. Johnson state he brought up an idea a few weeks back regarding a policy for open bid request. When the city has a project not above or greater than $500 for bid, would be nice if the Area Chamber of Commerce could post on their website so that our smaller business would be aware of the project. Mrs. Callahan stated that Miamisburg has something already in place and will check into this to see what it entails and tweak to our needs, and will be sure Christine Brown receives a copy for the Chamber Website.
Mrs. Callahan wanted to clarify, bid. When we bid it is a formal bid and it’s has to be advertised. I think what we are talking about are quotes and proposals. Mr. Johnson stated that was correct.
Mr. Lickliter stated he appreciated how the weekend was handled regarding the train fire on Saturday morning. Mr. Lickliter felt that everyone that was there did a good job in handling it, and keeping us safe. The other thing, Mr. Lickliter wanted to thank Mrs. Callahan for the call early in the morning to inform us on what had developed in the city. Mr. Green stated he was grateful also, but was wondering if this would have fallen under the Code Red system. Mrs. Callahan stated if this had been hazardous material involved, it would have. We don’t want to overuse the system because we really want people to listen when we have to use it.

Mayor’s Report:
Mayor Humphries thanked the City of Mason for Hosting the Warren County Municipal League Board meeting. A dinner will be held on April 21, 2010 at JD Legion in Franklin, Mayor stated he was hoping for a good turnout.

City of Carlisle Fire Department Safety Video...

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 16:37:00 +0000

Recently, our friend, Jeff Oaks of Video Oaks Production took some time to video the City of Carlisle's Fire Department at a local fundraiser at Dairy Queen. The volunteer fire department was raising money for uniforms and other needs of the department.

The Fire Department had many different displays and events at the fundraiser to reach out to the community. It was a great event for the residents of Carlisle to take part in for the entire family. Those in attendance was also privileged to see the department in action in a Mock Crash scene. It was great to share with the community what the Fire Department does for all of us!

Thanks to all of those who serve on the City of Carlisle Fire Department for all that you do!

Mayor wants computer, Chief Resigns...

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 23:23:00 +0000

This week there has been some articles written that Ed Richter has published with the Middletown Journal. I swear the City of Carlisle is keeping this man in business. He is staying busy covering all the mishaps and issues going on in Carlisle. This week he has tossed up completion on one subject and a continuing desire to report on the other. He has probably seen a small little notch in his traffic from our Carlisle Daily site, as well.

The completion of one subject this week is, Carlisle Police Chief Tim Boggess has resigned. Richter claims there are many stipulations to his resignation. You can read those by clicking here to his story. I will try to see if I can get any more details of what is going on and report at a later time.

Then there is the continued desire to follow Tim Humphries. Now a small percentage of our community truly thought this site was being done by our Mayor and that if he wasn't doing it then he had someone doing it for him. Not sure their reasoning. I have been accused of being in the Mayor's back pocket. If there is anyone in our Mayor's back pocket right now it is Ed Richter. He has reported from our last City Council meeting that Mayor Tim Humphries has asked for his computer that was seized by authorities awhile back. Richter was able to capture the ambiance of the Council Meeting and I will, as the poor blogger, try to obtain more facts and give you something later this weekend. If you want to read Richter's story about our Mayor click here!

Carlisle Daily not reporting....

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 23:12:00 +0000

There has been much to wonder why Carlisle Daily did not tackle some of the major issues that have surfaced recently in our community. So being just a one person blogger with not much concern of proper grammar that some might like to see, I have created three reasons why I have not.

1. I didn't want too, plain and simple. It could have helped ignite visits to the site that would have been off the chart allowing me to be able to show some pretty lofty traffic numbers to advertisers and sponsors. But the simple fact that I did not even want to address the issues is the biggest reason. With my limited time I wanted to make sure I was doing this site for the right reason.

Now let's say if I wanted to...

2. I did not have time. I am just now going full time with this site. It has only been live since May 2009. I have been blessed with some writers, photographers, and video guys to lend some things here and there but primarily it has been me, a full time job, and a full time family trying to produce these articles. The issues we have had in our community truly would need a full time investigative reporter gathering pretty hard facts before they decided to flaunt their articles to the world. I did not have that time nor the means to hire someone who could. Therefore it is not proper for us to blog about things we do not know!

3. The He said, She said game. This would be the biggest reason for not even posting anything about the issues that have arised in Carlisle. We all know our roots and sometimes they are rotten. The He said, She said would have been easy to publish. Again, this would have also inflated my traffic therefore giving me a great deal of popularity.

Call me old fashion though...I would rather read about facts and not the Enquirer. I am a nerd that way. And I believe if you are going to report on issues as large as the ones we have seen in Carlisle you better have all your i's dotted and t's crossed. If not, then why report on He said, She said!

This however, has caused me to think about the future of CarlisleDaily.com and TheVoiceofMiamiValley.com. It has given me inspiration to get out and start really giving this site a chance. I am going full time and going to work on getting to every meeting, school event, and business ventures that I can so that our Community has a true source of information, news, school sports, and anything else I can tackle.

Thank you all for your readership and support of the site! Look for awesome things in 2010!!
