Chief John Jones Annual Update October 23, 2019, Oxford, OH. The Oxford Rotary Club welcomed Chief John Jones for an annual update on police operations in the City of Oxford. He talked about community policing in Oxford, and the challenges faced in the new age of digital media and body cameras. Chief Jones joined the Oxford Police force in 1998. Today, he oversees 27 full-time officers working throughout the community with an ever-increasing demand for support. Body cameras have greatly assisted the force in bringing criminals to justice, but have also added an administrative burden in maintaining the equipment and digital files. Chief Jones reports that the greatest increase in crime has been bicycle theft. We salute this dedicated team of professionals as they continue to face new demands in their efforts to keep Oxford Residents and Miami Students safe.

This year's award winners were Patrick Geshan and Isabel Shoker, shown here ready to head off to Camp Kern. Both attend Talawanda HS. They reported they had a great time and made some new friends. Each spring, local Rotary Clubs partner with local school districts to select one or more High School sophomores and juniors (Award Winners) to attend a leadership development program held at Camp Kern. This camp is a terrific 48 hour Leadership training event for Award Winners. The Leadership Camp features several outdoor challenges, critical thinking exercises, and motivational speakers.

NEWS UPDATES Posted by Joseph Hookey on Feb 01, 2012 WELCOME NEWEST ROTARIAN President Bryan introduced Bob Keller, University Architect, who has many responsibilities touching on numerous aspects of the physical facilities at the University. Born into a family of brick masons, Bob when asked by his grandfather about his future, responded that he would continue in the family tradition, but the grandfather urged Bob to become an architect. He did just that. Following many years of study, including a time in London, Bob worked for some time in the Dayton area. He joined the Miami staff in 1989. Again, welcome, Bob. HEFNER FUND Upon recommendation of the Rotary Board, Club members agreed to increase the Hefner Fund contribution by $10.00 a quarter, making the total contribution $45 per quarter for each member. This increase will add support to the mission of the Hefner Fund to reach out to charitable ventures within the community. Bob Miller and Alan Oak have volunteered to serve as members of the Hefner Fund Board. THE COLD WAR AND THE SYMBOLS OF LOVE Susie Sadler brought the club's memories of a dark period in both the history of the nation and also of our local area, in the still somewhat mysterious area known as Fernald. Susie introduced Jane Powell, director of the Fernold Site and Visitors Center. From 1951 through 1989, 7000 workers were employed on the site processing uranium. Although there never was a reactor or weapon, secrecy surrounded the facility. After a 10 year major cleanup effort, the area has been turned into a visitors center and a nature reserve. In contrast to mystery and secrecy, Dodi Wolke's program introduced clum members to the amazingly complex process of growing, transporting and marketing the symbols of love that may eventually overcome nuclear power. Dodi brought Norm Gormann, a major distributor from Cincinnati, who took us step by step from the planting of seeds to providing the final bouquet in the hands of loved ones. Dodi announced the beginning of a program to award bouquets to those recommended as worthy recipients in the community. This is a generous program by Ball Flowers to enhance the life of the community. FOUNDATION NEWS Ralph Gutowski announced the major gift from the Gates Foundation in support of the Polio Plus effort of the Rotary Foundation. Polio Plus is moving forward in eliminating the dread disease throughout the world. (see full article in Newsletter)	NEWS UPDATES	Joseph Hookey	2012-02-02 00:00:00Z
