GARRETT — The Garrett Board of Works and Safety heard department reports at Tuesday’s session.

Street department supervisor Eric Mossberger reported his crew has graded gravel alleys and is the process of repaving the others. He noted leaf pick up has begun and will continue until they are all gone or the snow falls.

Mossberger and city planner Milton Otero have been assessing streets in need of repair.

Hydrant fl ushing is nearly complete, according to water department supervisor Pat Kleeman. He is working with Peerless Midwest on prelim-inary work for a city well to be completed in the spring. City Attorney Dan Brinkerhoff suggested contacting water utility consultant Dave Wagner regarding specs for the project.

Electrical service has been established at Countryside Estates, according to a report from Dave VanDerbosch, electric department supervisor.

Construction on improvements at the city’s wastewater treatment plant continue, according to supervisor Bruce Schlosser.

Police Chief Keith Hefner reported he is awaiting word on the return of Offi cer Domingo Perez, who was removed from active military duty in the U.S. Army Reserves on Oct. 1.

Hefner also received estimates for carpet replacement at the station that were beyond his budget and he is waiting for a canopy to be installed above the back door.

Otero reported two more property owners have met the requirements under the city’s 50/50 sidewalk replacement repair program. Four others have applied and were given price quotes, he said.

The city has $40,000 in CEDIT money from which the repairs are funded. To date, about $13,198 has been used. Any excess will roll over to next year, as the winter weather permits.

Fire chief Dana Treesh presented third-quarter statistics for his department totalling 109 calls. They include 53 medic assists, three structure fi res, four motor vehicle accidents, four disregarded calls, one mutual stand-by, fi ve mutual aid scene, one grass/fi eld fi re, nine miscellaneous fi re calls, four false alarms, fi ve hazardous materials calls, one rescue and 19 service calls.

Treesh reported an average of 13.4 fi refi ghters per call, with an average response time at 4.3 minutes. Average response for city calls was 3.8 minutes, and 5.5 minutes for township calls.

Treesh also notifi ed the board he will be moving to a home outside of the city limits and will not be running for the chief’s position in the upcoming election. Treesh said the department will have a new chief by the fi rst of the year. A part-time chief will be added to assist with the new fi re protection territory.

Mayor Tonya Hoeffel said she received information about a $400,000 grant opportunity for fi re equipment which she will forward to Treesh.

Habitat planning fundraiserBY KATHRYN BASSETT

kbassett@kpcmedia.comAUBURN — Habitat for

Humanity of Northeast Indiana has three families who have completed the requirements and are on the waiting list for a home.

The agency that serves DeKalb, Noble and Steuben counties also has an additional six families who have been board-approved for a home and are working on required classes and sweat equity hours.

“It is such an exciting time for us” said board member Marianne Stanley. “But it is also frustrating because we simply don’t have the funding for these families that are working so hard to make their dream of stable housing a reality.”

Habitat is planning a major event with the goal of raising at least $60,000. ManMania is a two-day event that will take place

Jan. 11 and 12 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the National Military History Center and Kruse Automo-tive Horse Power and Carriage Museum.

The event’s primary audience will be adult males. Activities will include demonstrations, tough-man contests, vendors, food and drink, museum admission and a Habitat ReStore section.

Habitat is looking for event sponsors. Sponsorship levels are $5,000, Super Man Sponsor; $3,000 Mega Man Sponsor;

$2,000 Tough Man Sponsor; and $1,000 Manly Man Sponsor. There are multiple sponsorship benefi ts, including company listings in event brochures, posters and banners, signage at the event, vendor table space, event tickets and more.

Stanley said Habitat’s northeast Indiana chapter holds mortgages for 54 partner families in DeKalb, Noble and Steuben counties.

“We know how to build, and we know how to make family dreams become a reality,” Stanley said. “We just need funding to make it happen.”

Tickets for ManMania will go on sale Nov. 1 and cost $20 apiece. Call the Habitat offi ce at 925-2508 for ticket information.

For sponsorship information, contact Stanley at mstanley1303@att.net or call the Habitat offi ce.

By Aaron Organaorgan@kpcmedia.comAUBURN — If a tree

falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, it’s debatable if it makes a sound.

But if a tree falls on a county roadway and causes damage, responsibility falls on the owner of the land where the tree grew and not the county.

The DeKalb County commissioners last week held a discussion with county highway superin-

tendent Eric Patton on the number of ash trees that are dead and falling onto roadways around the county. Commissioner Don Grogg said a tree fell near where he was driving this weekend.

Should a tree fall atop a passing vehicle or damage a person or property, the county is not liable, but rather the property owner, the commissioners said.

“It’s something we need to make clear to the public, that even though they’re in the road right-of-way, it’s

not (the county’s) liability,” said Grogg. “It’s the owner’s responsibility. We’ve got to get it out to the people, that if you’ve got a dead tree out along the road, you’d better be cutting it down for your own good. It’s not the county’s responsibility.”

Landowners in the county actually own to the middle of the roadway, according to Patton. He said the county is responsible for removing a fallen tree or limb, but crews only will push it off the roadway.

Anthony Miller, a senior at Garrett High School, operates a new print management system added to the Garrett Public Library.

Sue Carpenter

GARRETT — Garrett Public Library has received a grant to implement a new print management system.

Now, when a patron prints a document, they no longer have to come to the circulation desk to receive their copies and pay.

Payment is completed through a standard coin operating machine. This machine will accept bills and coins from fi ve cents

to $5. Once a patron pays for their prints, copies are available for pick-up at a new color printer located next to the adult computers.

This print manage-ment system is made possible, in part, by a grant obtained from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. This institution administers the Library Services and Technology Act.

More information on how to operate this new system can be obtained from Garrett Public Library staff members who are ready with printed instructions or individual help for our patrons.

The print management system will be available for use with library computers by Oct. 24. WiFi printing capabilities will follow at the beginning of November.

Library adds print management

AUBURN — The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum is inviting costumed children ages 14 and younger to “Trunk or Treat” at the museum on Sunday, Oct. 27, from 1–3 p.m.

The event is free and open to the public, but parents must be accompa-nied by their children. Last year, the popular event brought more than 1,000 people to the museum.

“Trunk or Treat” is designed to give parents a safe place to take their children “trick or treating.” Children will go from car to car and “Trunk or Treat”

with museum volunteers and staff members at select cars throughout the museum.

The museum galleries will be open during the event, giving visitors a chance to see what the museum has to offer.

“This is a great opportu-nity for parents and kids to enjoy the museum. We hope this is a fun way to introduce the museum and the rich automotive history of Auburn, Indiana, to children as well as create some fun family memories,” said Kendra Klink chief operating offi cer for the museum.

“At the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum, we realize that kids are our future, and we want them to think of the museum as a lifelong place of fun and entertainment. Having events like ‘Trunk or Treat’ allows the museum to make that connection,” Klink said.

An activity room, sponsored by Taylor Rental Party Plus, will be available for children to enjoy.

“There will be something here for every age group. Bring your kids and their friends to this free event. Come for the candy and stay for the cars,” Klink said.

By State Sen. Dennis Kruse (R-Auburn)

It’s important for us to recognize great Hoosier teachers all year long. They spend countless hours educating our children in hopes of leading them down a successful path. At some point during this fall, I encourage you to take the time to reach out to the teachers in your family’s life and thank them for all that they do.

Each year, the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) conducts a special program to honor outstanding classroom teachers from across the state. In accordance with the National Teacher of the Year guidelines, one teacher is chosen to represent Indiana at the national level. The 2014 Indiana Teacher of the Year was announced earlier this month – Steve Perkins, a Latin teacher from North Central High School in Indianapolis, was awarded the title.

The Indiana Teacher of the Year recognition program is a great way to celebrate teachers who strive to inspire all students to learn and who also positively impact the community outside of school.

Two Northeast Indiana teachers were fi nalists for this year’s Teacher of the Year award: Sarah Shatto-Jones from Homestead High School, and Emily J. Oberlin from South Side High School. I would like to thank them for their service to Hoosier students and for setting examples of excellence in the classroom.

Teachers play such a pivotal role in our society, and one of my goals at the Statehouse is to make sure we recruit and train the best teachers.

To ensure our teacher’s receive high-quality training that will benefi t our students, the Indiana General Assembly passed Senate Enrolled Act 409, requiring the IDOE to develop performance standards for teacher-ed-ucation programs at our

colleges and universities. These standards will be used to highlight programs that are excelling, and help us determine what makes those programs so successful.

The goal of this initia-tive is to improve our teacher-education programs across the state so that all Indiana educators are equipped to lead a 21st-cen-tury classroom.

Another way we can share positive teaching techniques with our educators is through the Improving Teacher Quality Partnership Program. The program was designed to bring local school corpora-tions and higher education communities together to ensure that teaching methods are adequately preparing young students for success.

The Improving Teacher Quality Grant program was created, funded and operates under the federal legislation known as the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The program provides funds to create these partnerships within high-need school districts. The funds help support the professional development of teachers in core academic subjects.

It’s important that legisla-tors, community leaders, families and students recognize the hard work and dedication of our Indiana teachers. They spend their days molding and guiding young minds, while accommodating all kinds of learning styles, abilities and emotions.

Every teacher is a great teacher in their own way. That’s why we must continue to support them so they have the skills and tools necessary to make a difference in the lives of our children.

By Ken Fillmorekfi llmore@kpcmedia.comLIGONIER — Garrett

freshman Maranda Malcolm was among two area teams and 12 individ-uals earning semistate berths at the West Noble Cross Country Regional

on a wet, chilly Saturday. Malcolm fi nished 19th at 19:53:37 to make the cut.

One team and six individ-uals from non-qualifying teams in each race did well enough to advance to the New Haven Semistate this coming Saturday at The Plex in Fort Wayne.

Advancing to the semistate were the top fi ve regional teams and the top 10 individual not from semistate-qualifying teams.

Led by fi rst-time regional champion Abby Hostetler, Fremont’s girls are returning to semistate and did so at less than full strength Saturday. The 23rd-ranked Eagles ran without key sophomore Katie Culler because of a foot ailment

and still fi nished fourth with only fi ve runners. They eked past fi fth-place Bishop Dwenger 128-134.

Local girls making the semistate individually were East Noble senior Alexia Zawadzke, who placed ninth in 19 minutes, 19.56 seconds); Prairie Heights junior Aspen Dirr (10th, 19:28.57), DeKalb sophomore Krista McCormick (11th, 19:30.9), Angola freshman Josey Korte (12th, 19:32.39), and West Noble junior Amairany Cruz (20th, 19:54.83).

The Charger boys were fi fth with 126 to qualify for the semistate. Junior Brandon Arnold was fourth overall to lead West Noble in 16:19.6.Brad Pyle was 12th overall in 16:49.06. Alex Deluna was 33rd in 17:16.38.

The individual boys earning semistate berths were regional runner-up Mark Beckmann from DeKalb in 15:54.94, EN sophomore Joseph Vandiver (10th in regional, 16:47), Fremont senior Alex Beams (22nd, 17:01.16), Angola senior Isaiah Mortorff (27th, 17:08.18), Baron junior Clayton Travis (29th, 17:13.24) and Hornet junior Nate Roe (30th, 17:13.56).

Both Carroll teams won regional titles. The Chargers

are ranked sixth in the latest girls’ state poll and 11th in the boys’ rankings. Concordia senior Zach Panning won the boys’ race in 15:28.94.

Carroll won the girls’ meet with 42, followed by No. 15 Homestead with 94 and Concordia with 107.

In the boys’ meet, the Chargers won over 24th-ranked Bishop Dwenger, 50-64. No. 21 Homestead was third and just ahead of the Cadets, 95-101.

Fremont’s girls faced some adversity, but their strong top four stood tall and provided a lot of cushion.

Freshman Riley Welch 18th in 19:50.97. Freshman Courtney Woosley was 27th in 20:17.7, and junior Makenna Cade was 30th in 20:25.71. Senior Riley McCrea was last in the 88-girl fi eld, but her running meant a lot.

Beams is the 13th Fremont boy to make semistate in the last 14 seasons.

DeKalb was sixth in the boys’ race with 166 and seventh in the girls’ meet with 173. Barons coach Rowland Perez is looking to elevate his teams in a tough regional landscape, but is happy to have harriers

move on in Beckmann, McCormick and Travis.

“This is one of the toughest regional in the state and no one is going to give you anything here,” Perez said. “We like to get some teams out and need to do some refi guring. We have a great start with Mark and Krista. We just need to get some help.

“Clayton is a hard worker with speed and strength. He has to get more endurance. He is a 400- and 800-meter runner in track. But hard work paid off.”East Noble senior Jonathon Kane was about six seconds from an individual semistate qualifying spot. He placed 37th in 17:19.84.

Lakeland senior Joseph Trost was even closer as he fi nished right behind the last individual qualifi er Robert Peck from Snider. Peck was 31st in 17:13.88. Trost was 32nd in 17:15.69.

Angola coach Paul Beckwith was proud of the overall program effort. The Hornets graduated 13 seniors from last year, including three NCAA Division I athletes. Harrier Ericka Rinehart is at Ball State. Middle distance standout Brittany Beard and basketball standout Rachel Rinehart are both at IPFW.

GARRETT – That “it’s a game of two halves” adage bit the Garrett football team Friday night.

Garrett intercepted Heritage quarterback Branson Dossen four times in a could-do-no-wrong fi rst half and led 21-0 early in the second half, then gave up 26 unanswered points to the visiting Patriots in the second half in a demoralizing 26-21 loss. The Railroaders close the regular season with a 4-5 record, while the Patriots fi nished at 6-3.

“It was two games, really,” said Heritage coach Dean Lehrman. ”We came out fl at as a pancake and, I don’t know. We had some stirring speeches at halftime by some seniors and … I don’t know what happened, somebody awoke the spirit in the Patriots.”

Garrett coach Chris DePew couldn’t have asked for a better start.

On Heritage’s third play from scrimmage, Garrett corner-back Cole Wilson jumped in front of a Dossen pass for an interception, and four plays later, Railroaders quarterback Noah Follett ran in from 8 yards out to give Garrett a 7-0 lead less than a minute into the game.

On Heritage’s next posses-sion Ryan VandeZande intercepted Dossen, which set off a Railroaders drive highlighted by a 20-yard pass from Follett to VandeZande that Follott threw up in the back of the endzone and the 6-foot-2 senior jumped over two defenders to grab for the score.

The Patriots next possession was stalled in the same way, on another interception by Wilson, as was Heritage’s next possession, stalled by another

VandeZande interception of Dossen, keying a 14-0 lead heading into the half.

Garrett pushed the score to 21-0 on its fi rst possession of the second half, when Follett laid a ball just over a defender and into the arms of a sprinting Wilson for a 44-yard touchdown.

After that, Heritage took over.

On its ensuing possession, Dossen capped a 6-play, 69-yard drive with a 2-yard punch in. Garrett then fumbled the kickoff, giving the Patriots a 1st-and-10 at the Railroaders 24 yard line, and two plays later 5-7 tailback Justyn Hart snaked through the Garrett defense and scored from 12 yards out.

Hart would score again to open the fourth quarter to push Heritage to within a point of Garrett before the Railroaders front blocked the Patriots extra point attempt.

The momentum was quickly lost. Garrett went 3-and-out on its next posses-sion and Heritage responded with a 7-play drive closed by a Hart 7-yard touchdown run with 1:24 left to play.

Follett was intercepted on the Railroaders fi nal drive.

Follett led Garrett with 116 yards on 8-for-15 passing with two touchdowns against one interception. He added a team-high 88 yards rushing. Wilson caught four balls for 69 yards and a score.

Hart led Heritage with 218 yards rushing on 21 carries and the three touchdowns. Dossen fi nished 6-for-18 passing for 83 yards and the four intercep-tions, and added 63 yards on the ground.

DePew said his team struggled to tackle in the second half and appeared to

lose some aggressiveness as Hart ran around tacklers. He voiced disappointment in his team’s ability to close out games.

“We got a team down, then we made a mistake or two and we let them climb back in,” said DePew. “It just wasn’t good enough. We’ve got to put the nail in the coffi n when we’re up 21-0. We have to smell blood and go for it when it’s there. We have to, and we didn’t. We sat back, we coasted a little and we let them gain the momentum back. Good football teams don’t do that, teams that win games don’t do that.

“If a kid throws four interceptions in the fi rst half, you’re supposed to win that game,” said DePew. “If you’re up 21-0 in the second half, you’re supposed to win. You’re supposed to fi nish the game, and that’s not what we

did. We let it slip through our hands.”

The two teams meet again Friday in Monroeville in the opening round of sectional play.

DePew said his team must improve for this week’s when-it-matters rematch. He said he believes it is diffi cult to beat a team twice.

Lehrman, on the other hand, said he isn’t sure whether the win will give his team important momentum or wake a giant.

“That’s the $64,000 question,” said Lehrman. “It’s going to be diffi cult and there’s a lot of things to overcome. We’re going to have to go to Psychology 101 and work on our kids heads. We’ll be there, and I know Coach DePew’s troops will show up and be madder than a bunch of hornets. It’s going to be a game.”
