Police: ‘It was pretty scary’ BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — There were no injuries, but Eastside Junior-Senior High School executed its lockdown protocols when a subject in a vehicle across the street from the school was found with two guns and dressed in camouflage clothing as classes were being dismissed for the day Dec. 3. Butler Police arrested Chad J. Czaja, 34, of the 200 block of Park Lane, shortly before 3:30 p.m. Dec. 3 after a witness observed a rifle in the front seat of Czaja’s vehicle as Czaja got out of the vehicle to put on the camouflage gear outside of the school.

COMMUNITY EVENTS

Man with guns arrested near Eastside Dec. 3 Following his apprehension, Czaja told police he meant to scare his daughter as a prank when he arrived to pick her up from school, according to Police Chief Jim Nichols. In connection with the Dec. 3 incident, Czaja has been charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated, criminal recklessness and leaving the scene of a property-damage accident. Additional charges are possible, Nichols said. Before his arrest, Czaja’s

only criminal history involved an April 2007 misdemeanor charge for improper tagging of a deer or taking a deer without a license. Police and school officials credit training and quick response to the situation. No shots were fired and there were no injuries. “I’m really glad we had the conclusion we had. No one got hurt,” Nichols said. “I was very impressed with the school and the communication we had with them throughout the entire event.

“I also want to thank the individual who contacted us and gave us the information,” Nichols said. “That’s what we’re lacking sometimes, people stepping up and reporting information like that. Seconds are crucial, and we got there before anything worse was allowed to happen. The subject that called in should be commended for his actions, for being alert and being observant.” Nichols, Assistant Chief Matt Traster, Officer Matt Tamez and reserve Officer John Isenberg responded to the call. They were assisted by officers from the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department and Waterloo Marshal’s Department.

BUTLER — Seabreeze Ministries, 404 S. Federal St., will host a community soup kitchen from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday. The event will take place at the church, located just south of the Norfolk Southern railroad tracks, between Depot and Walnut streets.

“Any time we receive a call involving weapons in close proximity to our schools, we take it very seriously and are on high alert, and our active shooter protocols are put into action,” Nichols stated. “It could have ended a lot differently,” the chief added. “We had no idea who he was. We had a guy in a vehicle in camouflage not listening to what we were saying. It was pretty scary.” Police were in contact with school officials throughout the situation, which was under control in about 10 minutes, Nichols said. The incident occurred just

Railroad New thrift shop opens bridge to be moved BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com AUBURN — The DeKalb County Council approved a $150,000 appropriation to pay for removal of a compromised iron bridge that spans the CSX railroad tracks on C.R. 75 at its Dec. 2 meeting. A deal struck between the county and the railroad calls for CSX to reimburse the county for the project after the bridge is pulled out. The railroad wants the bridge removed by year’s end, and the roadway will be barricaded on either side until it can be turned into cul-de-sacs next year. The council approved the funding by a 6-1 vote, with Councilman Bob Wilder voting ➤ Bridge, Page 6

BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — Rosemama’s Thrift Shop opened in November in the former Lane Realty building at 400 W. Main St. in Butler. Owner and Butler resident Chris Crager decided she needed something to do with her free time, and said a thrift store was a business she always wanted to have. The business name came from her grandchildren. Crager explained her house features roses in every room, and they began calling her “Rosemama.” The business features home decor items; clothing of all sizes, including plus sizes; new and costume jewelry; leather and regular coats; toys; knick-knacks; Colts blankets and Marilyn Monroe collectible plates to name a few. In the future, Crager wants to offer concrete plaques and consignment opportunities. She plans to turn over inventory on a regular basis. Crager and her late husband formerly operated Stateline

THE Butler Bulletin

Blazer boys beat Cavaliers, 68-64 BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com FORT WAYNE — The team with the better mental toughness usually winds up in the win column. Hitting your free throws — at least with the game on the line — doesn’t hurt either. The Eastside Blazers accomplished both in a hard-fought 68-64 win over the Canterbury Cavaliers Friday in Fort Wayne. The Blazers (2-1) were 28-of-38 (74 percent) from the stripe, compared to a woeful 4-of-15 (26 percent) by the Cavaliers, who received honorable mention in the latest Class 2A poll. Eastside capitalized late, hitting 5-of-6 tosses in the final minute after Christian Kreiger’s long three-pointer from the top of the key had given the Cavaliers a 64-63 lead with 1:24 to play. Eastside’s Ethan Moughler, who started in place of the injured Tristan Sprunger, scored 14 points, including two free throws with 51.2 seconds left. P.J. Dean rebounded a missed Cavalier three, and made 1-of-2 free throws 20 seconds later. Moughler was fouled after he stole the ball on Canterbury’s next possession, and put the game away with a pair with 25 seconds left. “I’m proud of our

mental toughness,” Eastside coach Ryan Abbott said afterwards. “Mentally tough teams can win on the road, and we wanted to be the tougher team. “I don’t know how many lead changes there were tonight, but I don’t think there was a lead change that shook us,” he said. “Defensively, we would have liked to have held them under the number of points they had, but in the grand scheme of things, I’ll take Eastside’s basketball class, toughness and work ethic that we had tonight any day.” Moughler and Dean finished with 14 points each, and Liechty — who hit three three-pointers — finished with 12. Canterbury’s Tommy McNabb led all scorers with 17. Trevor Uhl had nine an Jamison Kline had eight for the Cavaliers (1-1). The game was barely three minutes old when Canterbury head coach Scott Kreiger drew three technical fouls and was ejected.

Eastside rally falls short against Woodlan BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — An 8-0 run midway through the fourth quarter gave the Woodlan Warriors the momentum they needed to defeat the host Eastside Blazers 59-44 Dec. 4 at Butler. The Warriors (5-1) led 43-38 before the run, and converted at the stripe when the Blazers (0-5) fouled in desperation. Woodlan put four players in double figures, led by seniors Haley Hostetler (14 points) and Brooke Gerbers (13 points). Senior Morgan Franklin and freshman Rain Hinton had 10 each. Eastside got 17 points from junior Maddy Minehart, 10 from senior Kaci Shook and eight from senior Leah Ward. “They did everything I wanted them to do for about three quarters,” Eastside coach Shane Conwell said. “They stuck to the game-plan and I thought they played well. Just one swing midway through the fourth …” his voice trailing off. “We played one good

quarter at ’Busco, we had adversity, and we fell apart,” he said. “Tonight, we could have caved early. That was a 4-1 team. When they shoot 14-of-16 from the line, that’s tough to beat any team.” Four different players scored as the Blazers went on a 10-2 run to lead 15-11 after one quarter. A Minehart score in the paint, followed by a Ward basket after Minehart blocked a Woodlan shot, staked Eastside to a 19-13 lead early in the second. The Warriors rattled off six straight as Eastside had three misses and a turnover on its next four possessions, but the hosts maintained the lead on slashing drives by Shook and Ward on consecutive possessions. Eastside wouldn’t score the final three minutes of the half, and Hinton’s putback at the buzzer had Woodlan in front, 25-23. The Blazers regrouped and reclaimed the lead on Brianna Moore’s three from the wing midway through the third, but Morgan Franklin and Hinton

Eastside was 17-of-54 (31 percent). The Warriors held a 42-36 rebounding advantage, with the deciding margin coming in the fourth quarter when the Blazers were just 3-of-15 from the floor. Ward finished with 13 rebounds for Eastside, Minehart grabbed nine and Shook had seven. Hinton and Hostetler collected 11 rebounds each for Woodlan. “I was proud of how Kaci played defense,” Conwell said. “I was proud of how Leah crashed the boards. Maddy was making herself big and wanted the ball.”

Eastside girls defeated by Chargers, 58-42 BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — Senior Kelsie Peterson scored 32 points to lead the West Noble Chargers to a 58-42 win over the Eastside Blazers Saturday afternoon at Butler. The Chargers improved to 5-2 overall and 3-1 in Northeast Corner Conference play with the victory. West Noble jumped out to a 10-0 lead as Eastside committed eight turnovers in the opening quarter. A rebound score by Eastside senior Leah Ward put the hosts on the board with 3:34 left in the first. West Noble led 14-5

Senior Kaci Shook’s three-pointer had the hosts within 36-27 with a minute to go. It looked even better when West Noble turned the ball over, but Peterson swiped the ball and scored, giving the Chargers a 38-27 lead after three. A bucket by West Noble’s Mackenzie Cox and a three-point play by Eastside junior Maddy

Minehart made it 40-30 early in the fourth, but the Chargers put the game away with eight straight points. Later, Peterson ran off six straight of her own as the lead reached 54-32. Minehart led Eastside with 17 points and 18 rebounds. Ward had nine points and Shook finished with seven. Sophomore Rebecca Schermerhorn had eight points for West Noble.

ASPIRING CHEERLEADER

Emergency funds available AUBURN — DeKalb County has been chosen to receive $6,728 to supplement emergency food and shelter programs. The selection was made by a national board chaired by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency and consists of representatives from American Red Cross; Catholic Charities, USA; National Council of the

Churches of Christ in the USA; The Jewish Federation of North America; The Salvation Army; and United Way Worldwide. The local board was charged to distribute funds appropriated by congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high-need areas around the country. A local board will determine how the funds awarded to DeKalb County are to be distributed among

emergency food and shelter programs run by local service agencies in the area. Under the terms of the grant from the national board, a local agency chosen to receive funds must: be a private voluntary nonprofit or unit of government; be eligible to receive federal funds; have an accounting system; practice nondiscrimination; have demonstrated the capability to deliver emergency food and/or

shelter programs, and, if it is a private voluntary organization, have a voluntary board. Qualifying agencies are urged to apply. Agencies interested in applying for Emergency Food and Shelter Program funds must contact Patti Sheppard, 107 W. Fifth St., Auburn, 925-0917, or email her at psheppard@ccfwsb.org for an application. Applications must be received no later than noon Dec. 16.

officers have realized since Columbine and Sandy Hook that immediate response is required in order to safe lives,” Nichols said. “We immediately reacted to the report of the threat. We immediately dealt with the threat and brought the situation under control rapidly. “One of the things that helps us is we practice training on a continual basis and with other officers,”

Nichols said. “When it’s really unfolding, it’s important to work together with different officers and departments. “It’s all about saving lives and bringing things to a fast conclusion.” “The staff did a fabulous job of doing what they were trained to do,” DeKalb Eastern Superintendent Dr. Jeff Stephens said. “It was a live situation that I hope we never have to repeat.”

Scary from Page 1 as students were being dismissed for the day, according to Eastside Principal Larry Yoder. “Some of our walkers and some of our drivers were already gone, and there were about three or four busloads outside, about ready to roll out,” Yoder said last week. “As soon as we were informed of the situation, we went through everything the way we were trained.

“The way I’ve explained it to parents, there was no real threat to the building, but we wanted to shelter the kids until police could take care of the situation.” School officials sent out messages by the school’s automatic email and voice mail system to alert parents to the situation. That system also is used to notify parents of school delays and cancellations. “Law enforcement

against it. Wilder has voiced a displeasure with removing the only bridge over the CSX tracks in that area without a plan to replace it. Contractor Primco will handle the bridge removal. The county had planned to store the bridge on the county farm property until federal funding became available to place it on a trail system in St. Joe, but that plan appears up in the air now. County highway superintendent Eric Patton approached the council for its support of a commitment letter required to apply for that federal funding, but it required the county’s agreement to pay 20 percent of the estimated

cost, more than $400,000. The council decided not to sign the letter for this year’s call-out for projects, saying it could not commit to its share of the cost. If the county does not pursue funding, it either would pay nearly $3 million for the bridge’s relocation or shop the bridge to another Indiana county interested in preserving it. Because it is a select bridge in the Indiana Historical Society’s catalog, it must be preserved. Later, consultant Ben Beer with USI Consultants warned the county commissioners that once the bridge is removed, the county will be ineligible for federal funding to replace it with a new bridge.

Warrants from Page 1 nuisance, a Class D felony. McCloskey was arrested Dec. 3 by the Auburn Police Department and taken to the DeKalb County Jail. He was released after posting $11,500 bond. Police still are looking for Natasha Peters, 32, to arrest her on a warrant charging her with two counts of dealing methamphetamine, both as Class B felonies. Police said Peters is believed to be living in the Fort Wayne area. Officers are asking anyone who has information on her whereabouts to contact the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department, 925-3365, or a local law enforcement agency. The IMAGE Drug Task Force said it was assisted by the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department, Auburn Police Department, Butler Police Department and Brown County Sheriff’s Department.

IMAGE (Indiana Multi Agency Group Enforcement) is a multi-jurisdictional drug task force made up of officers from Steuben, LaGrange, Noble and DeKalb counties. IMAGE investigates drug-related crimes and is funded in part by a grant from the Edward Byrne Memorial JAG grant administered through the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute. IMAGE also receives funding through area prosecutors, law enforcement agencies and organizations such as Drug Free and other civic and community groups. The task force emphasized in its news release that the fact that a person has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation, and all persons charged with crimes are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
