By RON NUNNARI Independent Editor Rnunnari@civitasmedia.com CLAY TWP. — Police raided a home July 17 at 9472 Dayton-Greenville Pike just south of the village of Phillipsburg, where an elaborate marijuana cultivation operation was discovered inside a residence. Police seized 170 plants and numerous items being used to grow the marijuana inside the home. The resident, Matthew Nixon, 35, of Brookville, was charged with cultivation of marijuana, drug possession (marijuana), manufacturing of drugs (hashish), drug possession (hashish) and endangering children, all of which are felonies. According to Clay Township Police Chief John Simmons, the marijuana and hashish has an estimated street value in excess of $500,000. A Grand Jury hearing is pending.

Clayton amends idling engines ordinance By Andrew Wilson Contributing Writer CLAYTON — Due to further complaints concerning vehicles idling while parked, the City of Clayton Thursday unanimously approved an ordinance to amend Clayton Codified Ordinance Chapter 351 regarding restrictions on idling truck engines and vehicle generators/compressors. “It addresses concerns and really ongoing concerns about idling truck engines that have been disturbing the peace both at night and then there have been subsequent complaints
that these idling truck engines have been occurring during the daytime hours as well,” Law Director Robert Portune said. “So what this does, it attempts to really condense down the restrictions that have originally been enacted and address the concept of idling truck engines and compressors, putting time limits on them and locations where they can legitimately continue to idle at truck stops and approved rest areas and other areas where they’re not permitted to do that because of the interference and disrup-
tion that they would have to residents’ ability to occupy their houses.” The new section of the ordinance states that “no person shall allow any commercial tractor, bus, truck, trailer, semitrailer or refrigerated trailer to run or idle while parked on any street, alley or other public place, private property, private street or right of way within 300 feet of a residence for longer than 10 minutes or for such longer period of time as is needed for the on-site delivery or loading of merchandise or goods.” Similarly, “no person shall
allow intermittent operation of a compressor or generator installed on a commercial tractor, bus, truck, semitrailer or refrigerated trailer while such vehicle is continuously parked on any street, alley, or other public place, private property, private street or right-of-way within 300 feet of a residence, regardless of whether such consecutive operation is for periods of duration less than 10 minutes each.” Anyone who violates the provisions of the new section of the ordinance is subject to a minor misdemeanor.
In other business, city council approved the first reading of an ordinance to maintain street lighting assessments for the 14 districts that are located in the City. The assessments cover the maintenance and energy for the street lights and is an annual charge that homeowners see every year. Costs range from $20 to $162 depending on the type of lights and poles that districts have. The assessments, which are due to Montgomery County on Sept. 1, come to a total of $29,396.08.

been added this year to include the middle school and high school campus. We have a great partnership with our local police departments to provide Student Resource Officer visits to all of our six elementary schools throughout the day. In addition to this, we have taken additional measures to secure our facilities. These new changes consist of securing our buildings with new electronic door locking systems for all entrances in our six elementary buildings, middle school, and our Board of Education office. All entrances will be locked during the school day. In order to gain access to a building at the main entrance, visitors will be asked to push a button that
will alert our building staff that you are at our main entrance. Once notified,the building staff via an intercom system will request that you share the purpose of your visit to the building. They will then be able to unlock the door from a remote location, and monitor your path via newly installed cameras until you have reached the office to check in. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we become familiar with the new process just like you. Working together through this new method we know we can maintain the sense of community and parent involvement, while insuring our students grow personally and academically in a secure environment.

minimum sentence of eight years in prison, according to Simmons. “This was an excellent piece of police work by Clay Township officers that resulted in a sizable grow operation being closed down,” Simmons said. “The officer who initiated the investigation was able to follow up with a detective to obtain a search warrant for the premises and make an arrest through good, old fashioned police work.” Officers from multiple jurisdictions participated in the execution of a search warrant at the property on two consecutive days, July 17 and 18. The discovery of the marijuana cultivation operation came about as the result of an investigation of a traffic crash on July 11. On that date a blue Oldsmobile had traveled through several yards on Dayton-Greenville Pike (State Route 49) and eventually came to rest in the driveway of the home where the marijuana was being grown. Upon arriving at the scene, officer J. Hawkins parked his cruiser on the roadway. When he got out of his cruiser he immediately detected a strong odor of marijuana even though his cruiser was parked approximately 50 feet from the home. After approaching the vehicle there was no odor emanating from the vehicle, which was driven by an 84year-old man. As Hawkins walked up the driveway to obtain a better angle to take photos of the crashed vehicle, he came within five to 10 feet of the house the distinct odor of marijuana became even stronger. Hawkins described the odor as so strong that it was overpowering, make it impossible to smell anything else. All the windows on the home were closed with the exception of a south facing second story window. Another officer responded to the scene and the officers knocked on the door to try to contact the resident, but there was no answer. Police began conducting surveillance on the property over the next few days. A warrant was obtained for Dayton Power & Light records to see if the residence was using an
elevated level of electricity needed to run grow lights and a possible ventilation system typical of a marijuana growing operation. The DP&L records showed that the residence, listed at 1,588 square feet, was using double the amount of electricity of a nearby home listed at more than 2,300 square feet in size. Police researched the name of the subject living at the residence and learned that Nixon had no prior criminal history. After a search warrant was obtained, a multi-jurisdictional team of officers was assembled to serve the search warrant. Officers from Clay Township, Brookville, Germantown, Perry Township, and Eaton were assembled to help serve the search warrant and assigned specific duties. At 9 a.m. on July 17 an operation briefing was conducted at Clay Township Police Department with township officers McDaniel, Stringfellow, VanGundy and Hawkins, Germantown officers Swafford and Burns, Perry Township officer Bowerman, Brookville officer Swigart and Eaton officer Wray while Clay Township officers Scott and Devore were posted north and south of the residence to conduct surveillance. Officers were provided with a case background and tactical plan for the residence during the briefing. Officer Stringfellow led the team to the address and at 9:38 a.m. pulled to the front of the residence, activated his emergency lights and announced, “Resident of 9472 DaytonGreenville Pike, police search warrant.” This announcement was repeated as officers approached and knocked on the door. A subject appeared in the home’s northwest window, peeking through the blinds. Several more orders were announced and after 45 seconds, Lt. VanGundy ordered officer McDaniel to make forced entry on the front door. McDaniel struck the door with one blow causing it to swing open and a strong odor of marijuana began to emanate from the residence. At that time a male subject later identified as Matthew

Nixon, was standing in the hallway. Sgt. Scott ordered him to the ground and Nixon was immediately taken into custody, given a copy of the search warrant and read his Miranda rights. Officers made their way through the house. On the second floor officers encountered a padlocked door. Officers used the ram device to force open the door and odor of marijuana became almost overpowering. Upon entering the room officers located numerous marijuana plants with a sophisticated ventilation, lighting and irrigation system. Due to the overwhelming odor of marijuana, it was determined for officer safety to have the fire department respond to ventilate the residence. Phillipsburg Fire Engine 80 arrived and firefighters, along with officer McDaniel, put on self contained breathing apparatus to enter the back of the residence. Firefighters placed a ventilation fan at the front door to create a vacuum to cause the odor to exit the home. Other officers put on personal protective respirators due to the still strong odor and began removing marijuana plants from the second floor. The upstairs was divided into two rooms. The south room contained 122 marijuana plants while the north room contained 19 plants. Both rooms contained numerous items used for the cultivation of marijuana, including grow lights, transformers, bulbs,
ducting, fans, fertilizer, hoses, carbon dioxide tanks, planting tables, and planting tubs. In the basement officers found 29 marijuana plants in a hydroponic tub. The basement also contained fertilizers, lighting, fans and planting tubs. In the living room officers found $40 cash beneath a couch along with a laptop computer. In the dining room officers found a large plastic tub that contained 11 freezer bags of marijuana. The plants and 11 bags of marijuana were transported by Sgt. Scott to the Miami Valley Regional Crime Lab. In the kitchen cupboard police found two black balls believed to be hashish, two plastic zip lock bags of marijuana, a metal tin containing marijuana seeds and a second tin containing pieces of marijuana. In the freezer officers located a zip lock bag containing marijuana. The kitchen also contained equipment used to ingest and cultivate marijuana including glass pipes, water bongs, and scissors with residue and trays with residue. A search of the rear porch revealed drug paraphernalia in the form of a box containing several small glass containers marked “Medical Cannabis” and a transformer for grow lights. The northeast bedroom was found to contain numerous items belonging to a juvenile. According to Nixon, his 8year-old son uses the bedroom when he is at the residence.

Memories of my great-grandmother Gertrude Hintz Every year about this time, fond memories of my greatgrandmother Gertrude Hintz come rolling back across the years to me. When I was 7 or maybe 8, my parents and I would make the 60-mile drive from Flint, Michigan to Saginaw, Michigan at least three times a year to visit Grandma Hintz. My great-grandfather Hintz, who I don’t recall ever meeting, owned a coal (now there’s a word from the past, huh?) yard in Saginaw and he lost all his money in the stock market crash of ‘29. After he died, my greatgrandmother lived alone, so my parents would visit several times a year to see how she was doing. Grandma Hintz was a wee little woman with hair the color of a Colorado snowfall, enough wrinkles in her face to hold a three-day rain and a totally wonderful smile. Whenever we arrived at her modest and cluttered bungalow in one of those neighborhoods that was once real nice but had fallen on hard times she would talk ever-so-briefly with my mother and father and then quickly whisk me out of the living room and into her cluttered kitchen where she fed me cups of black coffee and stale cookies as she told me stories of the days when she was a child. Across from Grandma’s kitchen was a bathroom and the bath tub in that bathroom was always filled to overflowing with yellowed newspapers. Funny thing. Of all the many fond and lingering images of my great-grandmother, I’ll remember those

newspapers - and the dishes that were always piled in the kitchen sink - best. Grandma Hintz, who always wore a flowered apron, called me “Robbie” and insisted that I call her “Grandma H” and I always did because I was totally mesmerized by the stories she told me. If I attempted to interrupt one of her incredible tales she would reach across the table, gently pat my hand and shout “HARK!” as loud as she could. Needless to say, she always got my attention. I’m not really sure when Grandma Hintz died. I’m thinking it was probably sometime in the late 1940s. The sad thing about falling in love with someone when you are very young is that someone might be gone by the time you reach an age when you can really appreciate that love. I prefer to think Grandma Hintz passed peacefully in her sleep in her cluttered kitchen among her many yellowed newspapers … and wearing her unforgettable flowered apron.

Lady Bolts fall to Carroll in season opener By RON NUNNARI Independent Editor Rnunnari@civitasmedia.com CLAYTON — Carroll forward Abby McNamara netted a pair of first half goals to help lead the Patriots to a 2-1 Monday over victory Northmont in the Lady Bolts home opener. McNamara scored the game’s first goal seven minutes and seven seconds into the first half, then punched in another goal from 30 yards out with 8:14 remaining in the half to put Carroll up 2-0 at intermission. Both teams took five shots on goal in the first half. The second half was more of a defensive struggle. Northmont took three shots on goal with Neriah Ross scoring off a pass from Brittany Weatherford. “We had a play that developed from our backfield all the way to our striker, where Brittany Weatherford laid off a perfect pass to Neriah Ross, who placed an incredible shot far post for a goal,” said Northmont coach Ted
Mergler. “That really set the tone for the second half. When playing on one half of a field, it crowds 21 players, and makes it difficult to create opportunities. That was part of our trouble for the win.” Carroll only managed two shots on goal the entire second half but managed to hang on for the 2-1 win. “Even though we lost, we gained a lot,” Mergler said. “Tonight was one of those games where the better team lost. We played the majority of the game on our offensive half. We need to capitalize on our opportunities. I have a lot of faith in this team and after tonight’s loss, I actually believe in us more. We are walking away with more positives than negatives. We will look to correct our mistakes at practice and look forward to the opportunity in getting the result that we want.” Northmont plays at Xenia on Wednesday, August 21 then invades Trotwood on August 28 before hosting Greenville on September 3. All three games are set for 7 p.m.

In first doubles McCain and Barone defeated Libby and Victoria Foland Holbrook, 6-3, 6-0. At second doubles Hailey Weaver and Morgan Grandfield defeated Morgan Brewer and Shantel BurnettWheeler in straight set, 6-0, 6-0. “Culbertson beat Parker twice last year, once during regular season and then in the Sectional Championship. Akilah had some very good moments in this match, but unfortunately Culbertson was just too accurate tonight. I look forward to the two of them meeting in the Sectionals again,” Hall said. “Kennedy Harden and Marissa Anderson looked solid tonight at singles. Both doubles teams played well overall. Ellie Barone and Amari McCain both played doubles last year, but not together, so this was still a new experience for them. Hailey has played singles for two seasons; so doubles strategy is new to her but she is picking it up very quickly.” Thursday Northmont will host Greenville and on Monday play host to Tippecanoe. Tuesday the Lady Bolts travel to Beavercreek, return home Wednesday to host Troy and Thursday, August 29 play at Trotwood-Madison.

Northmont Future Bolts Basketball Registration under way
CLAYTON — Northmont girls tennis coach Christine Hall has high hopes for this year’s team, and for good reason. The team has added several new players to last year’s solid team that went 9-10 overall. “Our number 1 singles player, Akilah Parker, is returning from a stellar freshman year where she was the sectionals runner-up and a district qualifier and earned several post season honors such as 1st Team All-GWOC and 1st Team All-Area,” Hall said. “Last year’s second singles player, sophomore Kennedy Harden, is much improved and has held her position so far despite facing tough competition from incoming freshman, Marissa Anderson. I foresee that being a battle all season, with challenge matches being played each week for the No. 2 and No. 3 singles spots.” It gets just as competitive on the doubles side. Northmont has five players competing for four spots. “I am trying different match-ups in hopes of finding some teams that have great chemistry,” Hall noted. “I am excited that all the girls will be pushed this year just to
6-1, 6-1, win over Tabby Crawford in third singles play. Northmont won both doubles matches with Amari McCain and Hailey Weaver defeating Alyssa Wagner and Ali Landis, 6-3, 6-2. At second doubles Ellie Barone and Michelle Hibbard won by forfeit. “Xenia has three sisters that play No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 singles. They are all tough players, so we were pleased to win two of the three matches,” Hall said. “Akilah (Parker) pulled out a close first set in a tie-breaker, and then I think she was able to relax and just play her game, allowing her to win an easier second set 6-1. Marissa (Anderson) won easily 6-1, 61, which helped ease some initial nerves of playing in her 1st Varsity match.” The next day the Lady Bolts traveled to Tecumseh High School and scored another 4-1 win. Tecumseh won the first singles match where top rated Taylor Culbertson defeated Parker, 6-0, 6-2. Northmont won the remainder of the matches. Harden scored a 6-0, 7-5 win over Erica Johnson at second singles. At third singles Anderson defeated Karli Mulkey, 6-1, 6-0.

VANDALIA — High school football rules are tweaked every year, and they are usually minor modifications to existing rules that go largely unnoticed by the average fan. Every once in a while, however, a major rule change comes around, and 2013 brings with it one of those changes. Starting this fall, pass interference – offensive or defensive – will not carry as substantial of a penalty as it has in previous seasons. Offensive pass interference will no longer carry a loss of down, and defensive pass interference will no longer result in an automatic first down. Pass interference will now be penalized as a 15-yard penalty from the previous spot – or the beginning of the play. Brad Garrett, chair of the National Federation of High Schools (NFHS) Football Rules Committee said that this issue has been debated many times in the past. “Offensive and defensive pass interference and the penalty structure related to these fouls has been debated many times in recent years,� said Garrett. “Proposals that either deleted the loss of down or automatic first down – but not both – failed to gain support among committee members. The proposal to eliminate both components, thus not upsetting the balance between offense and defense, was the key factor in the adoption of the new rule.� Another rule change further

defined when a player whose helmet comes off during or immediately after a play must leave the game. Any player whose helmet comes off, unless it is caused by a foul by an opposing player, must leave the game for one play and cannot be “bought back in� by their team taking a time-out. In addition, if the player who loses his helmet is in possession of the ball, the ball becomes dead immediately. Any player that loses a helmet and then continues to participate in the play will be flagged for illegal participation, a 15-yard penalty, and any player that engages or hits a player without a helmet will be assessed a personal foul penalty, also 15 yards. “Player safety has been and will continue to be the top priority for members of the NFHS Football Rules Committee,� said Garrett. “These rule changes regarding helmet-less players are more examples of the group’s commitment to minimize risks within the game.� Concussions have been a major point of discussion at all levels of football, with the Ohio Legislature going so far
as to pass House Bill 143 that mandates coaches and officials follow a set of concussion-related rules and also take a concussion course. Players will no longer be allowed to return to action if they are removed from a game for exhibiting the signs or symptoms of a concussion. Previously, a medical doctor or certain other health care professionals could sign off on a player being able to return. Game officials are also required to submit a concussion form to the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) whenever a player is removed due to a suspected concussion. Helmet contact – both to the helmet and with the helmet – is a point of emphasis again this season, again with the stated goal of reducing concussions and/or other traumatic injuries to the head and neck. No player – offensive or defensive – can lead with the head on any play or initiate contact with the top of the helmet. This is a significant change to just a few years ago when the standard way of coaching a runner was to “get the head down.� Any direct helmet-to-helmet contact in which a player leads with or initiates contact with the helmet is a 15-yard personal foul. Football rules are ever changing, but the safety of players is the primary motivation behind all rule changes.
