Salaries raised for mayor, clerk BY BOB BUTTGEN bbuttgen@kpcmedia.com
LIGONIER — In order to attract more candidates for the two top elected offices in Ligonier, the Ligonier City Council on Monday passed a resolution that increases the annual salaries of the mayor and clerk-treasurer by 20 percent. At the council’s last meeting in August, Councilman Chris Fought made a motion to raise the salary for the two elected positions from the current levels of about $43,000 a year to $60,000 a year. But when the official ordinance was introduced at Monday’s meeting, Fought said he had received feedback from the public that caused him to rethink his proposal. Fought said some people thought the 39-percent raise was “too much and too fast.” Councilman Ken Schuman also said he had received calls from the public concerned about the size of the proposed increase. Fought changed his motion to increase the salaries to $52,000 a year for both Mayor Patty Fisel and clerk-treasurer Barb Hawn. That’s about a 20-percent raise that would start on Jan. 1, 2014. The new resolution was approved on a 4-0 vote on first reading only. It will have to be passed twice more by the council at its Sept. 23 meeting. Fought said he wanted to raise the salary levels in order to attract a larger pool of qualified candidates in future elections. He cited research that showed the new pay levels are still in line with other cities in northeast Indiana, especially when compared on a per capita basis. The funds to pay those salaries come from three sources: revenues from the water and wastewater sewer departments, and the general fund, which comes from property taxes. The first two funds come from service fees on water and sewer customers. The council had already put into the 2014 budget pay raises of 2 percent for all other city employees. The city council also increased the pay for council members to $4,100 a year.
In other business, the council: • approved a spending plan using bonds in the amount of $570,000 to pay for street paving projects in the city. • heard an update from Ligonier parks and recreation director Alan
Duncan on a possible boat-launch ramp the state Department of Natural Resources wants to build in Ligonier. The launch would be on Pigeon Street near the downtown area. Duncan said he discovered the city may have to pay for a survey of the launch property. He said a high estimate for the survey would be in the $2,000 range, but he is hoping to have one done for less than that. He also received permission from the council to pay a consulting firm $2,200 for a master plan for Pettit Park, the city’s newest park. A master plan would guide the city and park board on future uses of the park, on S.R. 5 just north of the downtown area. West Noble American Legion Post 243 in Ligonier has expressed an interest in placing some type of memorial to soldiers in the park, Duncan said.
LIGONIER — The Ligonier Public Library started moving to its temporary location this week in preparation for the construction project that will greatly increase the size of the library building on Main Street. And while all that was happening, library officials received bad news from the state of Indiana. The library’s application for a $400,000 grant from the state was turned down. What that means is that instead of having about $2 million to spend, the library will have access

In other reports: • Street superintendent Mike Burdette said sidewalks along S.R. 5 on the city’s north side are being repaired this week. The sidewalks were torn up for a recently completed project that separated sewer lines from stormwater drains. • City-wide garage sales are set for Friday and Saturday, and the fall cleanup day will be Saturday, Sept. 21. • Police Chief Bryan Shearer said the annual “Pumpkin Charlie’s Public Safety Day” will be Saturday, Oct. 12, at the Fashion Farm complex west of Ligonier. • Fisel reported receiving notice from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management on a confined-feeding operation that is being proposed for a farm northwest of Ligonier. The notice did not specify what type of animals would be on the land, if it is approved. • The city budget for 2014 will be on the agenda for the Sept. 23 meeting with a public hearing planned for October. • A resident said he discovered there had been abuse at the recycling station on U.S. 6. Someone had dumped a large load of household garbage into one of the bins. Information on the person(s) responsible was turned over the police department. Chief Shearer said he contacted the alleged violator and informed them of the problem and took steps to make sure it is not repeated.
State turns down library for grant Move started to temporary location

to $1.6 million, following the sale of long-term bonds to finance the renovation and addition. “We’ll still be able to do both expansion and renovation,” said library director Jerry Nesbitt this week. The project will have to be scaled back slightly, he said. Volunteers and staff are busy this week moving a large part of the library to its temporary location next to the ALCO store on Lincolnway South. The move is expected to be completed by Sept. 23. The library will be in that temporary space for about a year as construction begins on the existing library. Volunteers are still needed for the move. Stop by the library for more details on how to help. There will be a special meeting of the Ligonier Public Library’s board of trustees on Tuesday, Sept. 24, at 5:30 p.m. in the library’s community room to review the expansion and renovation plans.

West Noble senior is National Merit semifinalist BY BOB BUTTGEN bbuttgen@kpcmedia.com
LIGONIER — Sam Hagen, a senior at West Noble High School, is his school’s first National Merit Scholarship semifinalist in several years. And the accomplishment is just one more impressive bullet point on his resumé. Hagen, son of Mark and Jeanna Hagen of Cromwell, stays active in his school, the community and his church, St. Mark’s Catholic Church in Syracuse. Earlier this summer, he received the prestigious Youth Community Service award from the Ligonier Chamber of Commerce. It’s the teenagers’ version of citizen of the year. “He’s just one of those quality young men who will do well in life,” said Greg Baker, principal at West Noble High School. “Sam’s a student who we can go to when we need something, and he’ll always give you his best. He knows what he wants to do in life, and that’s what you want to see, as an educator.” A student does not make it to semifinalist status in the National Merit program without hard work and dedication; two qualities that describe Hagen. He’s a straight-A
Sam Hagen student and a member of the National Honor Society. He has worked hard as a board member of PULSE, a student-run philanthropy program sponsored by the Noble County Community Foundation. He has been one of the youthful leaders of that group’s annual prom for senior citizens. As a sophomore, Hagen was picked by the Ligonier Rotary Club for its Youth Leadership Award that included a trip to Washington, D.C. He’s also active with Drug-Free Noble County. When it comes to the classroom, there’s no doubt what he likes doing best. “My favorite subject is

probably chemistry, but I love all the sciences,” Hagen said. When pressed, he also admits that his least favorite subject English, saying “I’m good at it, but I don’t enjoy it.” After high school, Hagen plans on attending Purdue University for chemical or nuclear engineering. His extracurricular activities include being a computer programmer for the West Noble robotics team. As a ninth- and 10th-grader, Hagen was a youth representative on the grant-review committee of the Dekko Foundation. If Hagen advances to Merit finalist status, he will compete for 8,000 National Merit Scholarships worth about $35 million that will be offered next spring. Semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to finalist status. About 90 percent of semifinalists are expected to attain finalist standing, and more than half of the finalists will win National Merit Scholarships. The nationwide pool of semifinalists represents less than 1 percent of U.S. high school seniors, based on scores in a national qualifying test last year.

THE BOB REPORT
OBITUARIES
War is over! Billions of people across Earth were shocked, pleased and awed by the pronouncement this week that world peace had finally come to the planet. The miraculous move with far-reaching, positive implications for the entire population of 7 billion souls was confirmed by thousands of theologians. Credit for the amazing turn of events is being given to “Jimmy,” a 10-year-old boy from Buffalo Chip, Iowa, who wished for world peace as he blew out the candles on his birthday cake. Simultaneously, each and every war and/ or armed conflict in the world stopped as Jimmy millions of soldiers laid down their arms and returned to their homes. President Obama announced that every U.S. soldier would be able to have his or her salary tripled for an unlimited period as they transitioned into civilians. Already, tens of thousands former members of the military started volunteering at schools, homeless shelters, food pantries and soup kitchens across America. “This is just truly amazing, but really not all that unbelievable when you think about THE it,” said Humberto Cumberbatch, a professor of sociology at IPFW in Fort Wayne. “The BOB was ripe for something like this REPORT situation to happen. It’s spelled out in the Book of Bob Buttgen Revelations, the Koran and in other religious This guideposts.” Cumberbatch also cited the decline of column is American civilization as another factor in the dedicated transformation of the planet into one big love to all of the fest. “When you look at our divorce rate as well “Jimmy’s” as the number of murders and child molesting of the world cases we are plagued with, something had to and to break,” he said. “We’re also pretty sure that everyone who the recent performance by Miley Cyrus at the VMA awards, along with the acceptance of works for pornography as mainstream entertainment, peace. through shows such as “Two and a Half Men,” contributed to this miracle.” The declaration of world peace has been officially endorsed by representatives of God, Allah, Buddha and other deities, without any one religion taking credit. The assumption of a world without war applies to every corner of the globe, including tribal conflicts in Africa, the Middle East and even the Korean peninsula. North Korea’s dictator Kim Jung Il Jr. at first tried to tell the world press that he was responsible for the outbreak of peace, but after a few minutes he relented. Jung admitted that he is “the biggest phony in the world.” He resigned his position as supreme ruler for life and moved to his country home with Steve, his long-time companion. Also in the United States, street gangs in the ghettos of south central Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and elsewhere have been surrendering their weapons to local police departments while also lining up to start serving voluntary jail terms for their past crimes. The entire congregation of the Westboro Baptist Church in Wichita, Kan., immediately disbanded their so-called house of worship and moved to Africa, where they now are volunteering at AIDS hospitals and leper colonies. Former New York congressman Anthony Weiner was recorded on CNN smashing his cell phone with a sledge hammer, while former vice president Dick Cheney was observed at a Washington, D.C. animal shelter, adopting a family of homeless kittens. Meanwhile, Jimmy, the little boy at the heart of this wonderful move, and the son of an Iowa soybean farmer, was kept busy receiving congratulations at his school while basking in the glory that comes with saving millions of lives. “We’re all pretty lucky,” he said while sifting through a large stack of fan mail. “I almost wished that Rocky Waller, the boy who has been bullying me and my friends, would be attacked and eaten by a pack of wild wolverines!” Remember folks: War is over, if you want it to be.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Thanks offered for help with Ligonier blood drive; more donors needed To the editor, The American Red Cross wishes to thank the Ligonier Sports and Recreation Center for hosting our Sept. 6 blood drive. Many people worked to stage this important event. Norma Buchanan and Saundra Luke made lots of calls to line up our volunteers and plan the lunch menu. Ken and Nancy Stump, Kay Collins, Betty Grawcock, Julie Routsong, JoAnne Franks, Ruth Ann Hite and Saundra Luke were the volunteers for the day. We appreciate everything brought in by our workers to make our canteen so good, especially the pies from Jo-Anne Franks and Julie Routsong. Ligonier Pizza Hut
donated four large delicious pizzas, and manager Ben Miller was also a donor this time. Everyone who donated, or tried to donate, made everyone’s hard work well worth it. As always, members of the Ligonier Lions Club helped tear down after the drive. The Cromwell-Kimmell Lions Club, Ligonier Lions, area radio stations and churches, The Advance Leader of Ligonier, The News Sun and Ferrellgas of Kimmell all helped with publicity and/or expenses for supplies. Everyone’s support is deeply appreciated. Unfortunately, we fell quite a bit short of our goal. Needless to say, there was no waiting this time. We would have had plenty of staff and chairs for at least 30 more people. The drive at the Ligonier United Methodist Church, scheduled for Nov. 1, will
be an opportunity for donors to make and even exceed goals. Please mark that date on your calendars! I am making a plea to everyone to please talk these blood drives up! Some lives literally depend on these drives. Our local blood drives help enable the Red Cross to keep their inventories sufficient to meet our area medical needs and emergencies. Almost all of us have known someone who has needed a transfusion because of an accident or illness. Let’s make every effort to not let future victims down. Also please remember that if your iron is sometimes low, take iron supplements for a few days before each scheduled blood drive. Respectfully, Sallie Fought Ligonier Rec Center site volunteer

Labor Day weekend has always been a major event since we came to town in June of 1973. About all of the major players in the local game have changed, as they slip one by one out to receive their eternal reward and younger ones move in to take their place. Strawberry Days, the forerunner of the Marshmallow Festival, was lots of fun, and I enjoyed it because it involved a bit of history, such as where the name came from. I always enjoyed reading Bob Gagen’s columns in this newspaper because he dug deep into the history of our area. In addition, Walt Rex was virtually a walking encyclopedia on the subject. I had a good talking relationship with both men and got to spend hours over the tables at the restaurants with both of them. Bob was always digging into mysteries, and things that pricked my curiosity, and some of the things he wrote about I followed up on during the years following, and discovered I could find the answers I wanted — if I was patient and searched
out the right people. Mystery number one was Mel Coyle’s sausage gravy on biscuits. Anyone who FROM THE had ever WINDOW tasted them, OF MY back when STUDY Mel owned the diner on Center Street, knew Rev. John Lutton he had a secret and no one would reveal what it was. By chance, I spent some coffee time with a friend and I brought the subject up, and he shared the secret with me. He was the man behind the awesome taste. Mystery number two for me were the tombstones at the old cemetery on South Martin where there is now a park. What happened to them? Many different stories have been passed along and so which one of them do you believe? A friend passed on to me some historical items written from that time which

revealed to me two things. First, of all they were laid beneath the ground where they were, but another source revealed that they had been moved since then to a certain spot. Mystery number three. for me, was the story about the robber gang that had a hideout in an area believed to be either in Whitley or Noble County. A newsman was supposedly taken to the cave, blindfolded and saw it. There have been several stories about this incident and it was again one of those that aroused my detective instinct. Bob Gagen’s investigation led him to conclude that there was no cave and that it was just a myth. I was not going to just simply accept that, so I continued to follow up all of the leads I could. John Staton got involved with me at one point and we found a topography map, which he could read very well. We spent an afternoon at his place and studied it together, with John making good observations and my just sitting back saying, “Uh-huh.” Some years passed and
I brought up the subject with a group of friends at the Charger House, and as I shared the story about the robbers and the cave one person sitting there kept smiled as he listened. When I finally had sense enough to shut up, he informed me that he knew the story well, and knew exactly where the cave was! I think I stopped breathing for a second and my heart quit beating. He assured me he knew exactly where it was. Because of its location, and the difficulty in reaching it, he went and took some pictures of it and showed them to me. John had been pretty much right on the money! I have spent a lot of my 40 years here pursuing these three mysteries, and some others. No, I will not share any of the answers with you. I want them to continue to be mysteries for others to wonder about and look to solve. Rev. Lutton is senior pastor at the Ligonier Church of the Nazarene.

West Noble boys soccer team drops first match of season BY BOB BUTTGEN bbuttgen@kpcmedia.com
LIGONIER — In a battle of regional soccer powers, visiting Lakewood Park handed the West Noble boys team its first defeat of the season, 5-3, in a match played Thursday afternoon on the Chargers’ field. The game was a rematch of the 2012 regional soccer semifinal, which the Chargers won. The contest was a game of two distinct halves. West Noble jumped out to a 2-0 lead at the end of the first half. The Chargers chipped in a goal early in the second half before the Panthers responded with five unanswered goals in the second half to secure the win. The Panthers moved to 5-1 on the season while West Noble went to 4-1-1.
Chargers also tied, won this past week ALBION — West Noble scored nine second half goals on the way to an 11-0 boys soccer victory at Central Noble. Chris Najera and Uriel A. Macias each scored three times. Uriel Macias had two goals, with additional goals by Omar Lopez, Jay de Luna, Ricardo Rezendis and Jonathan Moreno. The boys soccer teams from West Noble and Bethany Christian played to draw on the road Saturday evening. The Chargers tied with Bethany Christian 3-3 in a match played at Waterford Mills. Senior Uriel Macias scored twice to lead the Chargers (4-1-2). Miguel Hernandez also scored for West Noble. Abel Zamarripa, Uriel A. Macias and Brian Macias each had an assist. Joeunay Reyes made nine saves in goal.
West Noble’s Christian Marin (13) and Lakewood Park’s Ryan Schwartz (12) eye a loose ball near midfield in the second half of last Thursday’s game in Ligonier. The first 25 minutes of the match was filled with long possessions by both teams but the Chargers made the best use of their field position, pushing the ball through three times. For West Noble, the silent second half was unusual, especially for senior Uriel Macias. Last week, Macias scored his 86th and 87th career goals for the Chargers in a win over Lakeland. That set a new record for both West Noble and the Northeast Corner Conference for career goals. Macias added two more to that total for the Chargers in the first half. Abel Zamarripa score the third goal for West Noble. At intermission, Lakewood Park coach Paul Exford told his players what he expected in the second half. “I wanted to see a whole 40 minutes of possessions. That will do great things for us, I told them. We were out of element in the first half; we have could have focused
more on intensity. But the boys really picked it up in the second half.” Sophomore Bradey Gerke scored the first and second goals for the Panthers in their big second half, and went on to put one more shot in the West Noble goal. Lakewood’s Jordan Collins tied the game 3-3 before Hunter Yoder gave the Panthers their go-ahead shot. Gerke added his fifth goal with about 12 minutes left in the game and that was the final scoring of the afternoon. West Noble coach Ampelio Pizana said his boys might have lightened up in the second half, after jumping out to the 3-0 lead. “We took too many chances and might have let up,” he said. “And we lost control in the second half; had a lot of miscommunications. So maybe this is a good wake-up call for us. We have to work with the team and make sure they never take it easy after getting a lead.”
WN runners do well at Marion LIGONIER — West Noble High School’s boys and girls cross country teams continue to be some of the best in this part of the state following the alwaystough Marion Invitational, held Saturday at Indiana Wesleyan. The Chargers’ girls team finished in third place overall while the boys were fifth against some much bigger schools. For the girls, Amairany Cruz was third overall and Kennedy Jones was tenth for West Noble. Charger Brandon Arnold was second overall in the race. Warsaw won the boys team competition with 81 points. Carroll was second with 103, followed by Noblesville (104), Franklin Central (130), the Chargers (169).
Chargers romp over ’Busco in tennis ALBION — West Noble’s tennis team had little trouble scoring a 4-0 victory over Churubusco on Tuesday. Singles: 1. Tyler Rothhaar (WN) d. Luke Lillmars (CB) 6-1, 6-2; 2. Jared Swank (WN) d. Landen Lillmars (CB) 6-1, 6-0; 3. Josh Gaff (WN) d. Cody Luttman (CB) 6-2, 6-1. Doubles: 1. Ryan Kendall/ Grant Moser (WN) d. Derek Bower/Brandon Norris (CB) 6-3, 6-1. In other matches played this week by the West Noble boys tennis team, the Chargers lost to Westview and East Noble.

Gridders fall to Garrett; at Fairfield Friday LIGONIER — Garrett’s football team acted like a well-oiled machine for most of the night as the Railroaders held off West Noble for a hard-fought 26-12 victory Friday night in Ligonier. The Railroaders’ offense clicked when it needed to, and more importantly the Garrett defense shut down the Charger offense for all but a few minutes in the second half. Garrett converted two turnovers into touchdowns to lead 13-0 at the end of the first quarter. Garrett’s defense made several big stops on the night to keep the Chargers in check. “Jumping out quickly like we did sure did help,” said Garrett coach Chris DePew after the game. “And we made some big plays when we had to, on both sides of the ball.” The Railroaders intercepted West Noble quarterback Landon Stover five times. The first pick came on the second play of the game when Noah Follett picked off a pass to give his team the ball on the Garrett 42-yard line. 12 plays later, Follett hit Bo Wilson on an 18-yard touchdown pass. On the kickoff, Garrett squibbed the ball toward the sideline and the Chargers were unable to get a handle on it, allowing the Railroaders to take possession at the West Noble 28. Four plays later, Bryit Sumner ran into the endzone from 28 yards out for a 13-0 score. Garrett’s point-after kick was blocked. In the second quarter. Bo Davis intercepted a Stover pass to give his team the ball on the Garrett 18-yard line. The Railroaders wasted no time in moving the ball
downfield and scored on a 25-yard keeper by Follett with 5:13 on the clock. The Chargers stopped Garrett’s point-after run for a 19-0 score at halftime. West Noble scored the next two touchdowns to prevent the game from becoming a rout. The first scoring drive was highlighted by a 45-yard run by Payton Shrock that put the ball at the Garrett five-yard line. Three plays later, Stover rushed in for a three-yard touchdown. The point-after pass attempt fell short. In the fourth quarter, the Chargers mounted another nice drive that ended with Shrock catching a 33-yard pass from Stover for a touchdown with 5:16 on the clock. The PAT kick was no good, leaving the score at 19-12. Garrett only punted once in the game and that was on the next drive, and helped set up the Chargers for what could have been a drive to tie the score late in the game. But Garrett’s Dustin Underwood picked off another Stover pass to end the Chargers’ drive with 1:45 on the clock. Garrett’s Sumner scored a late TD on a 10-yard run for the final score of 26-12. West Noble ran 43 offensive plays for 275 net yards while the Railroaders had 65 plays for 316 yards. Follett was 11 of 20 for 114 yards in the air while Stover was 6 of 16 for 100 passing yards. The Chargers, 1-2, travel to Fairfield next week while Garrett is home against Adams Central. There is a fan bus to take people to the Fairfield game. The bus leaves the high school at 6:15 p.m.
