Let the games begin!You couldn’t fi nd a more hard-working and fun-loving

group of guys than the West Noble High School boys basket-ball team last Saturday.

The team, and their dads and other manly-types, gathered together for a day of work and fun around the West Noble area. With rakes and shovels in hand, they descended upon at least three different residences in the area to do some fall cleaning. You know, raking leaves and covering up fl ower beds and stuff like that.

They also did some trap shooting at a gun club in Albion, saw a hunting-dog demonstration and enjoyed a big-boy lunch back at the school.

Coach Jim Best has done a good job of making sure his team is very community minded and helpful to others. And he’s not alone out there. Many teams and clubs do the same thing. Coach Best gave most of credit for Saturday’s fun day to middle school teacher Tim Schermerhorn, whose son Drew is on the team.

So who says we don’t have great young people in our community? Certainly not this over-the-hill editor!

Congratulations to these boys, and girls, who work hard to improve their community. You can show your support by attending their basketball games, wrestling matches and gymnastics meets this winter.

Speaking of attending basketball games, I overheard Wes Arendt tell this story to Roger Schermerhorn on Saturday during the girl’s basketball scrimmage at the high school.

Wes, the Heavenly Sno-Balls guy from Syracuse, is originally from the Baltimore area before he and his wife, Margaret, moved to the Syracuse area. They are still consid-ered West Noble folk, however, for reasons I don’t need to go into now.

Anyway, Wes was telling stories about how he grew up in the shadow of the profes-sional football stadium in Baltimore. This was back in the 1950s, I believe, when the Colts were from Baltimore and not from Indianapolis.

He was hanging out at the stadium when the New York Giants* team bus pulled up into the parking lot. A guy leaned out the window and asked young Wes to bring him a couple of hot dogs into the stadium, and

handed a him a buck. Wes did what he was asked and lo and behold, the hot-dog eater was none other than Y.A. Tittle, the Hall of Fame quarterback for the New York team.

Wes was able to stay on the fi eld before the game, after he gave Tittle the hot dogs, but a guard told him to beat it. Tittle stepped in and said to the guard, “It’s OK. He’s with me.” So Arendt got to hang out with the Giants by their bench for the game, and he gleefully gloated that fact to his friends up in the stands.

Well, I thought it was a cool story.See you at a basketball game!

*Tittle played for the Colts, Giants and 49ers but I thought the story was told about Tittle as a member of the Giants, but I’m not 100 percent sure.

LIGONIER — The intersection of S.R. 5 and C.R. 200N, south of Cromwell, has been converted to a four-way stop as of Wednesday, the Indiana Department of Transportation announced last week.

Currently, the intersec-tion is a two-way stop for C.R. 200N only, with a fl ashing amber caution light above the intersection on S.R. 5.

“Stop” signs with “all way” plaques and fl ags, stop bars and “stop ahead” signs will be placed at all the approaches to the intersec-tion. Because S.R. 5 traffi c previously did not have

to stop at the intersection, double “stop ahead” signs and “stop” signs will be placed on S.R. 5 approaches in both directions.

An advanced fl ashing beacon will be placed on the “stop ahead” warning sign for southbound S.R. 5 to increase driver awareness of the new stop.

The change in traffi c controls is a result of a traffi c study completed by INDOT that reviewed traffi c patterns and the crash history at the intersection.

Motorists should be aware of the traffi c change and drive with caution at the intersection, INDOT said in a news release.

S.R. 5 and CR 200N now a 4-way stop

KIMMELL — “Veteran’s Day, November 11,” “’Twas the Night of Thanksgiving” and short verses about God were selections read by Peggy Heffner, hostess, to welcome members of the Kimmell Mother’s Club to their last meeting of the year, which was enjoyed Friday, Nov. 8, at the Quiet Corner Tea and Coffee Room, Churubusco.

“We Give Thanks” was the prayer given by Peggy before ladies ordered the meal of their choice.

“A Favorite Dish Your Mother Made for Thanksgiving” was the roll-call response, answered by Lois Replogle, Jean Replogle, Eileen Huff, Mary Lou Young, Sandy Hartman, and Peggy Heffner.

Cards are to be sent to Rosie Bales, Mary Lou Eames, Korean Holmes and Tom McCulloch.

Minutes of the October meeting were read. Tammy Luce, owner-operator, showed members remaining the downstairs area of the Brick Ark Inn B&B at that meeting.

It was announced that Rosie Bales is leaving the Kimmell Mother’s Club.

The club will take a rest for the winter months. Linda Lemon will host the Kimmell Mother’s Club for its fi rst meeting of the new year on Friday, March 14, 2014.

STAR OF THE WESTLIGONIER, INDIANA

LIGONIER TELEPHONE CO., INC.894-7161

Veterans Day will be a few days passed by the time you read this, but that’s alright. The fact that we have a war continuing in the Middle East should keep our boys and girls in uniform around the world on our minds, hearts, and prayer lists in any event.

First of all, I want to say a belated “Thank You for Your Service” to all veterans and servicemen out there, and to the members of our American Legion Posts in the West Noble area.

Beth Lehman of our church is currently serving in the Air Force, and we are proud of her service also.

When I served in the Navy, I was well remembered by a number of people, so I will use the courtesies extended to me to make suggestions as to how you might let your service men and women know you remember and think of them.

Writing letters has to rank No. 1 on the list. I was on a great number of my friends’ lists and they wrote to me fairly regularly

and I tried to respond in like manner. My mom often virtually wrote books. She wrote often.

Mail call is a very important part of a service person’s day! Everything stops when “mail call”

goes out. I had a church I had attended and got to know the pastor and family quite well and they put me on their mailing list. I received the monthly church magazine from headquar-ters, a monthly youth magazine and other news letters from my own home church in Muncie.

Gift boxes are always welcome, any time of the year but especially at Christmas time. What to put in it? Use your imagina-

tion. Candy and cookies are usually always welcome, and usually shared with the rest of their pals they serve beside.

I’ve received small Christmas trees, money clips, miniature stuffed toys, pencil and paper, stamps; just use your imagination but make them small and simple because they do not usually have much storage space. An occasional phone call is always welcome. I called home once from Hong Kong, not even thinking about what time it was back home. The call was more than welcome though.

During the fi rst year of my service, I had two chances to take two weeks leave home, and my grandfather paid for all of my fl ight tickets both ways.

When Grandpa wrote to me, he often slipped a $20 dollar bill or so into my letter. My reply, which became a laughing point was, “thank you for the contents.”

I grew up during WWII

and it shaped my life and thinking forever. My parents and grandparents had just come out of a Depression. Friends were being called into uniform and some of them did not return. There were rationing stamps for many items such as gasoline, sugar and the like. My toys and coloring books were almost always about the war, soldiers, jeeps, tanks, planes and other weapons.

I learned to respect our fi ghting men and women and what they represented, and I gained a healthy respect for our fl ag and country.

I also learned the Pledge of Allegiance and the national anthem before going to school. I’m proud of who we were, what we stood for, and for what it all taught me about life.

God bless the USA!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

To the editor:I would like to take

this opportunity to thank everyone who volunteered and donated blood at the Red Cross Blood Drive on Friday, November 1, 2013 at the Ligonier United Methodist Church. There were 61 units given – we certainly appreciate you taking the time to donate to this wonderful effort.

Those who gave of their time and volunteered were: Karen Branham, Carolyn Gunder, Charlene and Sanford Hooley, Kathy Holsinger, Cindy Whitton, Carole Bewley, Brenda Gaerte, Pennie Phares and Sarah Bish.

A special thank you to Pizza Hut who donated pizzas for the Red Cross Staff and to Fashion Farm Restaurant for donating

the delicious chicken and noodles that all the donors very much enjoyed.

A big thank you to members of Ligonier Masonic Lodge, F. & A. M. and students from The Crossing for volunteering to help set up and tear down – that was a huge help to the Red Cross staff.

Also, a big thank you to the Cromwell-Kimmell Lions Club for placing fl yers in local businesses to help advertise the drive.

Thank you to The Advance Leader and other local businesses for the advertising.

God Bless you all,

Dorothy Bish,Local Coordinator

American Red Cross Blood Drive

LIGONIER — There were some scary-looking things on the West Noble campus when LEAP of Noble County and the Ligonier Track Club hosted the 2nd annual 5K Zombie Run this past Saturday.

Luckily all of the more than 60 runners survived the zombie mayhem.

The event raised about $600, and the money will be used for both LEAP of Noble County, giving back to the after- and before-school New DAWN program, and the Ligonier Track Club.

The race started at 10 a.m. despite the wind, about 60 runners came out to take on the obstacles and the zombies located around the course at West Noble. Race

director Kayla Replogle was pleased with the run.

“We had high expecta-tions going in to the Zombie Run this year, and we hope to continue to see growth throughout the coming years,” she said. This run takes participants through Charger Trail, a project taken on by New DAWN students who participate in an after-school program through LEAP at West Noble School Corporation.

Brian Shepherd and Nicholé Emmert was the top male and female fi nishers. (See list below).

Runners were given two lives at the beginning of the race and had to fend off zombies in order to “survive” the race by having at least one life left when

they fi nished.Many volunteers and

local sponsors helped make this years’ zombie run a success. Sponsors include Cromwell-Kimmell Lions Club, Star of the West, Annie Oakley, Burnworth Zollars, Kroger-Owen’s, Ligtel, Subway, Napa, Casey’s General Store, CVS, Ace Harware, Global Travel, and RadioShack.

“Members of West Noble’s Theatre33 helped zombify our zombie volunteers and we couldn’t make this race possible without the enthusiasm and support from our community and friends,” Replogle said.

LIGONIER — Volunteers, including individuals, families, church and school groups, as well as businesses and service clubs, are invited to help Common Grace of Noble County, and the Salvation Army, with bell-ringing this holiday season at the Owen’s Supermarket in Ligonier.

Help is needed starting the weekend after Thanksgiving and continuing through Christmas Eve.

Funds raised through donations dropped into the red kettle are distributed in Noble County through Common Grace. That organization helps families in need who have suffered fi nancial setbacks.

Volunteers can work any time and for any length they choose.

Scheduling of volunteers is being coordinated in Ligonier by Bob Buttgen of The Advance Leader.

Call Bob Buttgen at 894-5441 or send an email to [email protected] to get on the schedule.

Local resident appreciates help from West Noble basketball team

Dear West Noble Sports Fans:

This past Saturday morning, the West Noble boys basketball team did community work for some of their fans. They cleaned up yards including raking leaves, fl ower beds and other chores that were needed to be done.

I really appreciate the hard work done on my yard by the boys, their dads, coach Jim Best and others. We had a wonderful morning and thank you so much for helping me.

Merry Christmas!Dot McFarren
