Herrera, Sammy Coates and Tiffany Jaramillo; in the back row are Kristen Alcala, Sarah Buttgen, Nic Weimer, Marcus Henderson, Joe DeLuna, Emily Durham, Amelia Kurtz and Travis Lee.

‘Arabian Nights’ to be staged 3 times LIGONIER — The age-old tale of “Arabian Nights,” by Mary Zimmerman will be performed three times this weekend on the Theatre33 stage at West Noble High School. Friday and Saturday performances are 7 p.m. and the Sunday performance is at 2 p.m. Tickets are $6 for adults and $5 for students and senior citizens. There is general seating and the box office opens one hour before the show. Theatre33 is again making clever use of the auditeria space by adding a thrust stage to the front of the stage. The actors have all helped with the construction and painting of

the set, designed by director Cliff Schwartz. This is Schwartz’s 10th year directing and teaching at West Noble High School. This is the story of “1,001 Nights” where the king takes a new bride each night and disposes of each bride by morning until Scheherezade, his most recent bride, played by senior Kristen Alcalá, outwits him by telling him a different story, tale or fable each night in order to stay alive for at least 1,001 nights. “One Thousand and One Nights” is a collection of West and South Asian stories and folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age.

The play is told as a story within a story and has been translated and adapted by Zimmerman. Each actor plays more than one character as each story unfolds. Cast List: Alexis Alcalá – Perfect Love, Other Woman, Second Girl, Woman by the River, and others Kristen Alcalá – Scheherezade, Aziz’s Mother, Experienced Woman #2 Alejandra Aranda – Dunyzade, Second Child, Second Sister-in-Law, Little Foot.

Fall festival needs vendors, musicians LIGONIER — The Future Ligonier Alliance is hosting a fall festival next week, and its annual scarecrow decorating contest along South Cavin Street is under way in the downtown area. The festival is set for Friday, Oct. 18, from 4-8 p.m. in the downtown Ligonier area. The public is invited to build a decorative scarecrow and attach it to a light pole in the downtown area. Judging will be done around Oct. 16, so entrants should be sure to have scarecrows in place by then. Vendors are needed to set up to sell food and craft items at the fall festival. Also, musical groups are being recruited to perform. More details are available by contacting

Norma Donley of the Future Ligonier Alliance, 463-6647. Registration sheets for the vendor booths are also available at Ligonier Floral Shop on S. Cavin Street. Other holiday events in the West Noble area include: • The Cromwell Historical Society has announced a new location for the annual Cromwell Halloween carnival on Saturday, Oct. 26. This year’s carnival will be held at the Sparta Township Fire Department in Cromwell. The annual Halloween parade precedes the carnival. Line-up for the parade will begin at 4 p.m. at Wysong’s, and the parade begins at 4:30 p.m.

The parade route is through the town and then back to the fire station, behind the post office. Judging of the costumes will take place at the firehouse instead of the old gymnasium. The local firefighters will have a chili supper that evening also. • In Cromwell, local crafters are planning the second annual “Christmas in the Village” on the second floor of the Cromwell library. Dates are Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 14 and 15. Santa Claus will be at the Cromwell library on Dec. 14. Also that weekend, the Cromwell-Kimmell Lions Club will be offering booth space at the town’s community center on Baker Street. These spots are for vendors who didn’t get into the show at the library.

Wawaka factory adding more jobs BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com

ALBION — The Noble County Council Monday approved a resolution supporting a tax abatement that would bring jobs to Wawaka. B & J Specialty sought a five-year abatement on personal property taxes for equipment at its Albion facility, but was granted an eight-year abatement by the council instead. B & J said the investment of approximately $1 million in new equipment would add five to eight jobs to its Wawaka plant. It sought a five-year phase-in of property taxes on the equipment. The council used a new matrix for calculating how long an abatement should last. The matrix, created by the Noble County Ecomomic Development Corp., was approved Sept. 3 for use by the council. The matrix includes a cost-benefit analysis for calculating how long an abatement should run. Monday was the first time it was used by the County Council. Only the resolution for the

The fast just got Faster...

abatement could be approved Monday, because paperwork didn’t include the exact cost of the new equipment, said Noble County Auditor Jackie Knafel. The council will vote on the actual abatement in November. The council approved the resolution 5-1, with Councilman Wayne Clouse opposed. Also Monday, the council: • approved 6-0 the county’s proposed $21 million budget. The proposal includes $9.6 million for the county’s general fund, $3.4 million for highways, $645,000 for local roads and streets and $234,375 for the new Community Corrections program. Also in the budget are $603,985 for adult probation, $162,800 for work crews for drainage, $584,490 for statewide E-911 and $118,078 for reassessment. The proposed budget includes $931,134 in cuts made by the council from amounts requested by county officers. The budget still must be approved by the state before it is official.

Free ‘Write a Will’ workshops planned for later this month LIGONIER — “Write A Will” workshops, sponsored by the Noble County Community Foundation and Kendallville attorney Douglas Atz, will be held in three locations in October. Dates and locations are: • Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2-4 p.m., Kendallville Public Library; • Wednesday, Oct. 23, 6-8 p.m., Noble County Public Library — West, Albion, Shultz Meeting Room; • Thursday, Oct. 24, 4-6 p.m., Noble County Community Foundation, 1599 Lincolnway South, Ligonier. There will be a limited number of seats available. Participants are encouraged to register as soon as possible for the free workshops by calling the Noble County Community Foundation at 894-3335 or sending an email to jennifer@noblecountycf.org. Be sure to include name, address and phone number. “A will is one of the most important documents you will execute during your lifetime,” said Linda Yerick, the foundation’s executive director. “Attorney Doug Atz has continued to volunteer to work with the foundation to share how tremendously important it is to have a will.” In the workshop sessions, attendees will discover how unique a will can be for families. A will can have a profound effect on the financial well-being of family members, friends and institutions. Discussions during the workshop explain the ‘how to’ gather the information needed to work with a professional and attendees will receive a booklet called “Planning Your Will.” Attendees of the “Write a Will” workshop may at the conclusion schedule the actual preparation of a will by Atz at minimal or no cost to the participant. The actual document will not be prepared on site. However, attendees can schedule an appointment for a preparation of a will and, for those attendees who choose to include one or more monetary charitable gifts in their estate through the Noble County Community Foundation, will receive a simple will at no cost.

I have been preaching on Sunday mornings mainly from Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians, and am sending out some challenges for us today. As a minister, even though I have more years behind me than ahead of me, I am greatly concerned about the health of the Church, at this point. I was born in a political family whose involvement goes back a number of generations. In the process of community involvement, I’ve not tried to wear two hats but to simply be myself all of the time; believing and praying it would work and for the most part I believe it has. Since I became a Christian in August of 1956, I’ve endeavored to make Christ my highest single priority from that point on. I’ve found that when love for Christ is our first love, He enables us to love more when it comes to family, friends, workmates, business and social associates, and our country. No, the journey from 1956 to 2013 has not

witnessing something never seen before in our own nation’s history, and that is the all-out attack upon the Christian faith by not just the usual number of people in the populace who always do, but by our government including President, Congress and courts as well. In sharing with people, I don’t know that many really are aware of the extent of the opposition. In calling our attention to the man of lawlessness, the Church advises there are forces — including supernatural — that seek the destruction of the Church and our faith. The “fading away” that Paul warned us about is in progress now, with the past couple of generations seeing both church membership and attendance in decline. The loss in numbers not only reflects a “falling away” but also will have the effect of dulling our clout at the ballot box when we vote. In the present fading away among believers, we see not only more people staying home on Sundays,

but many of those people still professing to be Christian believers but not practicing their faith. I have found many local people who brag about their church affiliation who have no idea what the pastor’s name is or who he is. We throw away our privilege of supporting the church and its ministry, the much needed group fellowship and support, social needs, and a major source of help for your marriage, raising children, leaning on special people when discouraged, ill, facing sore trials that frustrate us in life, and so many other advantages. I’ve so much on my mind now but no space left. I would like to invite you too honestly consider attending the church of your choice Sunday morning, and let’s try to turn the cycle around. And tell your pastor: John sent you Rev. Lutton is senior pastor at the Ligonier Church of the Nazarene. He can be reached by email at john.lutton@gmail.com.

American Red Cross offers special training session on Oct. 19 KENDALLVILLE — In the aftermath of a disaster — such as tornado, house fire or flood, the devastation can affect an entire community — leaving many without a place to live. The American Red Cross has the capability to open shelters in Noble County in the event of a disaster such as this to house and feed hundreds of residents who have been displaced. However, they cannot do it alone. The American Red Cross urges people to train as a “Disaster Services Shelter Partner” and be able to respond to emergencies in your community. In order to increase the number of trained individuals in Noble County, the Red Cross is offering a one-day training opportunity in Kendallville on Oct. 19.

The dynasty continues! WN boys claim 12th straight NECC title LIGONIER — West Noble’s boys team carried on a winning tradition in Saturday’s Northeast Corner Conference cross country meet, held Saturday on the West Noble campus. The boys won the NECC championship trophy behind the first-place effort of Brandon Arnold, while the girls were a very respectable second place finisher as a team. For the West Noble boys, this was the Chargers’ 12th consecutive NECC title. The dynasty was helped by the Chargers placing four runners in the top 10 to outpace second-place Fairfield. West Noble’s Arnold, a junior, won the boys’ individual championship in a time of 16:54.05, while Fremont’s Abby Hostetler returned to the winner’s circle after a year’s absence. She won this race as a sophomore and placed second in last year’s race. This year she enjoyed a huge 47-second lead over the second-place finisher Amairany Cruz of West

Noble. In the girls’ division, following Fremont’s 25 points and West Noble with 55 points, were: 3. Fairfield 70; 4. Angola 96; 5. Westview 118; and 6. Lakeland 125. West Noble’s boys had a team score of 35. Fairfield was second with 74, followed by: 3. Lakeland 80, 4. Angola 125; 5. Westview 130; 6. Churubusco 144; 7. Prairie Heights 155, 8. Fremont 164, and 9. Central Noble 250. West Noble coach Rusty Emmert said his squad was looking for a team victory heading into next week’s sectional race, which also will be run over the 5K course at West Noble. “Brandon Arnold ran strong for us today,” Emmert said. “It wasn’t one of his best times, but today was just about going out and getting a win.” Arnold’s teammate, Bradley Pyle, stepped up to a third-place finish overall. Also in the top 10 for the Chargers were Alex deLuna in sixth and Salvador

Campos, ninth. “Brad Pyle’s been running very, very well here in his senior year,” Emmert said, “and Alex deLuna, a sophomore, ran just an awesome race. I’m very pleased with everyone.” Other top 10 runners for West Noble included Kennedy Jones and Yvette Rojas in eighth and ninth, respectively. Grace Ness rounded out the Charger scoring with an 18th place finish. In the boys’ competition, Fairfield’s Alexander Oberlin came in second place, eight seconds behind Arnold. Logan Weimer finished in 16th place with a time of 17:48.24, right ahead of teammate Justin Contreras who was 17th in a time of 17:58.16. Erick Contreras was close behind in 19th place for the Chargers at 18:08.13. The top 15 runners in each race were designated as all-conference honorees. The sectional will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 15, also at West Noble.

WN football team wins Chargers defeat Central Noble, 20-14 BY BOB BUTTGEN bbuttgen@kpcmedia.com

LIGONIER — The West Noble and Central Noble football teams were playing for pride when the cross-county rivals collided in Ligonier Friday night. Both squads came into the game with 1-5 records, and on paper were pretty evenly matched. The final statistics also proved to be very even was West Noble moved to 2-5. In the end, both teams were able to leave the game with a little more than they came in with, but it was the West Noble Chargers who emerged as the biggest winners, 20-14, in defensive battle that also marked West Noble’s homecoming. West Noble coach Monte Mawhorter had lots of good things to talk about this week, after the win. “Central Noble is vastly improved from last year with several athletes returning to football after taking a year off. Their speed surprised us a little at first but the defense was able to adjust,” Mawhorter said.

“After playing a error-filled first half, we were much better in the third quarter, scoring twice in two possessions.” Payton Shrock and Levi Nelson were the workhorses in the backfield and Landon Stover showed his versatility in leading the team in catches, while running the ball as well. “That trio, plus Brandon Moser, Dillon Alexander and Riley McFarren, will improve every game and make it very hard to key on any one person,” Mawhorted noted. Quarterback Waylon Richardson gets better every time out, completing 6 out of 10 passes and two TDs in the game. “As the offensive line improves, I expect to score more points in every game,” Mawhorter said. The Charger offensive line consists of one senior (Adam Hursey), two juniors (Kyler Warble and Steven Ramirez) and two sophomores, (Tyler Huff and Zach Ratliff). Last week was the first game the Chargers have

been at full strength since week two, and that had a lot to do with the win. “We were able to rest several kids throughout the game who were then able to play at a higher level at the end of the game,” the coach said. “The strength of the team is still the defensive players, who were able to hold the CN team to only two scores in spite of poor field position much of the game.” Mawhorter said he looks forward to the Chargers finishing up the season on a very high note. They have two games left; on the road at Prairie Heights this week and then at home against Fremont on Senior Night. “Prairie Heights is a very athletic team that plays very physical football,” Mawhorter noted. “They have a large group of seniors that have been starting for them since they were sophs. We will have to play very well and improve on the turnovers to win.”
