DELAWARE--- Beginning of the new year and time to plan what events to cover without wearing out the group with non-emergency activities. Looking forward to some training that is compatible with ARES needs as well as everyday uses and on air operating.

KNOX--- Training records on file for 6 ARES Participated in one MARS net Distributed Knox ARES Operation manual for review Participated in WEBEOC Training ---LICKING--- Training records on file for 6 ARES Participated in one MARS net Distributed Knox ARES Operation manual for review Participated in WEBEOC Training
MADISON--- Met with Stan Broadway, Don Kovalchik and Roger Roberts (Madison EMA Director) on 1/31 to discuss ways to bring this ARES group back up to speed. Here\\\'s hoping for a new dawn on the Madison County ARES group.
MARION--- January - 2017 2017 was brought in with help from some of the ARES crew. They erected the portable communications tower in downtown Marion and lowered a lighted ball from the top to the countdown of the assembled crowd celebrating the New Year. The use of the tower for lowering the ball began four years ago and has now become a local tradition. The Chamber and Downtown Marion organization sponsor the event which draws several hundred folks downtown to welcome in the New Year and is always good PR for the ham radio community. Final touches were made to the 911 Dispatch Center station and training sessions will begin soon on its operation. January’s highlight was the commissioning of two additional Special Deputies from the ARES group. KD8KCH, Jim Bird and KE8ECT, Bill Tromm were sworn in along with about a dozen new Sheriff Deputies and Dispatchers by Marion County Sheriff Tim Bailey. The ceremony was held at the new 911 Dispatch center in the county administration building and their addition brings to twenty the total number of Special Deputies for the ARES group. Sheriff Bailey also inspected the ARES communication station and stated it looked great and was happy the ARES would be part of the Dispatch Center team.
