Tragic week for WN area Ligonier man killed
GOSHEN — A Ligonier man was killed when the car he was driving struck a utility pole support cable near Millersbug late Saturday night, Elkhart County police said.

Beloved youth pastor dies WN grad BY BOB BUTTGEN leader@kpcmedia.com
LIGONIER — Shock and disbelief made way for grieving and remembering this week in the West Noble area, as news spread of the untimely death of Shannon Kathary, 38. Shannon was the youth pastor at Ligonier United Methodist Church, where he served many roles. Most importantly, he helped many young people strengthen their Mr. Kathary relationship with Jesus Christ. Mr. Kathary was felled by a stroke on Saturday, July 20, and was a patient at Parkview Regional Medical Center in Fort Wayne until he died on Saturday, Aug. 2, with his family at his bedside. A measure of his impact on the community, his church and especially its young people was shown by the huge turnout of mourners at his viewing and funeral. Both were held in The CrossWalk facility at the church, where Shannon kept his office and served as worship leader for the contemporary service every Sunday. It’s also where he led the youth progams on Wednesday evenings. Approximately 450 people came to his funeral,

Mr. Kathary led many mission trips for LUMC and served on other working mission trips to places such as Henryville, Ind. He had just returned from a mission trip to Kentucky a week before he suffered his stroke. The community continues to pull together, even after his funeral. A major fundraising event will be held Sunday, Aug. 25, in The CrossWalk from 1-4 p.m. Proceeds will benefit his family. More details on that event will be in next week’s paper.

Ligonier man is top flight
COLUMBIA CITY — An Albion man was killed in an industrial accident in Whitley County late Monday, the Whitley County coroner’s office said. Jeffery A. Flory, 44, of Albion died as the result of an accident at the Steel Mr. Flory Dynamics Inc. plant at 2800 S. C.R. 800E, the coroner’s office said. An autopsy determined that Flory died of blunt force trauma with multiple internal injuries, Whitley County Coroner Frederick R. Dellinger said. He ruled the death to be accidental. Emergency personnel were called to SDI shortly after 10 p.m. Monday, according to dispatch records. The coroner’s office began its investigation at about 10:30 p.m., a news release said. The autopsy will be performed at the Allen County coroner’s office, but the Whitley County coroner will remain officially in charge of the investigation. SDI is working in cooperation with the Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration to determine the cause of the accident, said Ben Eisbart, SDI ice president of human resources. An OSHA press release said it has up to six mon ths to complete an investigation, but this type of investigation usually takes about two months. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Flory family and to Jeff’s co-workers,” Eisbart said. Flory was a graduate of West Noble High School in the class of 1987. Assisting at the scene were the Indiana State Police, Whitley County Sheriff’s Department and Union Township Fire Department. Mr. Flory’s viewing will be held this Saturday from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Brazzell Funeral Home in Albion. His funeral will also be held there on Sunday at 2 p.m.
Farrand one of nation’s leading aviation Save the BY BOB BUTTGEN

LIGONIER — Lowell Farrand of Ligonier has lived a life of quiet satisfaction, concentrating on the activity that makes him the happiest: flying. Now at age 80, Farrand has been honored by the aviation industry for his many decades of dedication to aviation safety and research. He flew last week to Oshkosh, Wis., where Thursday night he received the 2013 Tony Bingelis Award, recognizing his involvement in the homebuilt aviation community. It was presented by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) at the group’s annual convention. “I’ve been flying since 1946. Back in those days, we would just fly for fun,” he said. “I was 14 when I first started, and took lessons at 17, just to make it legal. Since then, I’ve logged 5,280 hours in the air.” The rural Ligonier home of Farrand and Gaylia, his wife and navigator of 61 years, opens up onto a flying strip in their

backyard, making it convenient to fly whenever the feeling hits. As a youngster, Farrand built model airplanes. “And as soon as I got old enough, I would ride my bike to the Goshen airport and wash the bugs off the planes for the pilots,” he said. “Finally, they let me start taxiing and putting them away in the hangar, and I flew my first flight when I was 14.” Farrand soon will be 81 and says he still flies at least once a week. All those flying hours have not been solely for recreation. Farrand is one of the nation’s foremost experts in making sure experimental aircraft are safe. He is an innovator in that field — that’s one of the reasons he was honored by the EAA. Farrand was a part of the original EAA designee program in the 1960s. In addition to helping others ensure safety in building and flying, he has achieved major accomplishments in the aviation community, including co-designing and piloting the first powered parachute in the
United States and building and demonstrating some of the first gyroplanes in the U.S. He has served as an FAA Designated Airworthiness Representative since 2004. Thousands of pilots and airplane owners have benefited from his expertise. “I’m a flight adviser and a tech counselor,” he said. “I’ve built and restored many planes, including some old ones. I like to help people who are building their own planes with their problems.” Farrand worked close with Bingelis, one of the EAA’s founders, in the 1960s and ’70s. “He wrote books on airplanes and was way ahead of the game than anyone else, when it came to small aircraft,” Farrand said. Farrand is a founding chapter member and the Young Eagles coordinator of EAA Chapter 132, based in Elkhart, which since its inception has been known as “the builders unit.” He previously received the “Man and Machine” prize from the EAA in 1972 for his efforts at the Oshkosh air show,

THE BOB REPORT
Pornography shocks columnist represented Moose. Now I cannot give you the specifics of what shocked me about this show. It was that dirty. I am not exaggerating, and I am not being an old maid when I tell you this. But it contained some of the most explicit sexual scenes I have ever seen on a non-cable television show. And the fact it was animated, and geared toward teenagers, made it even more controversial, in my opinion. If my kids had seen this show, I would ship them off to a nunnery. I know the Fox News division likes to distance itself from the Fox entertainment division. And this show is one reason why. This was produced by one of Fox’s division. So the next time Bill O’Reilly or Sean Hannity tries to claim the high moral ground for Rupert Murdoch and his gang of thugs, I suggest they sit down with a group of teens from their families and watch this “High School USA” show from start to finish. I called the FOX television station in Fort Wayne at 260-471-5555 and asked to speak to the station manager. He was “not available” but I left a message with my name and phone number, hoping I could ask him if he had even seen this show before it was aired. I hope he calls me back. Again, I don’t mean to preach, but pornography does NOT have a place on over-the-air TV at 11 p.m. on a Saturday night. Thanks for reading.
I am not a prude when it comes to the media. But everyone has their limits. And those limits can change, over time. For instance, now that my daughters are THE BOB full-fledged REPORT teenagers, I have to Bob Buttgen worry and watch what This column kinds of TV shows they is the personal have access opinion of the to. editor Bob For the most part, Buttgen. He we rely on can be reached our girls’ at leader@ good sense kpcmedia.com. of right and wrong, and let them police their own media watching. But a couple of Saturdays ago, I came across a television show on WFFT, the Fort Wayne FOX station. It was at 11 p.m. and I think that is prime-time viewing for teenagers, as a lead-in to “Saturday Night Live” on an another channel. The show which shocked me (yes, even I can be shocked), was called “High School USA.” At first glance, it looked like a televised version of the old “Archie” comics which I read, faithfully, as a young boy. This new show had a red-headed lead character, a cute blonde and cute brunette, aka Betty and Veronica, and a big, dumb jock who

Cabin restoration project continues at Stone’s Trace
PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
Efforts by the Stone’s Trace Historical Society to rebuild the Grambling Family Log House continues. Financial support has been received from many sources, including Noble REMC, which recently gave a grant to the historical society through its Round-Up Program. At a recent check presentation, Kim Allen, left, representing the Noble REMC Operation Round Up board of directors, gave the check to Chuck Sweeney, center, from the Stone’s Trace Historical Society, and Jim Nelson of the Stone’s Trace Regulators. That group helped put up the walls of cabin and continues to work on the project. The cabin was built in 1859 and its former home was between Ashley and Waterloo, over in DeKalb and Steuben counties. It was moved, in pieces, to the Stone’s Trace site near Ligonier last year and that group is working to rebuilt it there.

Stohlman returns from D.C. trip Cromwell Citizen’s WASHINGTON — Noble REMC sponsored two local youth to attend the 2013 Electric Cooperative Youth Tour in Washington, D.C., last month. This year’s delegates were Rachel Stohlman of West Noble High School and Mitchell Comparet from Central Noble High School. The tour gives young Hoosiers the opportunity to visit our nation’s capital to learn about government and electric cooperatives. It directly relates to one of the primary cooperative principles — investment in education. “It was an amazing trip,� Stohlman said. “I saw so many interesting things, had a lot of moments that I will remember forever and made a lot of friends. I want to thank Noble REMC for allowing me to go on the Electric Cooperative Youth Tour; it’s a trip of a lifetime.� The trip departed from Indianapolis then bused to Flight 93 Memorial and Gettysburg National Military Park Battlefield, both in Pennsylvania; Arlington Cemetery; theU.S. Capitol; Marine Corp Museum; and severalmonuments and museums in Washington, D.C.

Rachel Stohlman and Mitchell Comparet are shown in front of the White House during their REMC-sponsored trip to Washington, D.C., last month. According to Kevin Dreibelbis, marketing and public relations director of Noble REMC, the Indiana delegation consisted of 77 students from around the state, each selected by
his/her local cooperative. Hoosier students joined 1,500 other delegates representing electric cooperatives from 43 U.S. states. “Noble REMC is
pleased to be able to provide this opportunity for local students,� Dreibelbis said. “It’s a great trip which includes seeing many fascinating national sights, make new friends and learning how everyone can be a leader and make a difference.� Another highlight of the tour was face-to-face lessons on civic participation with Indiana’s Congressional leaders which included meeting with Senator Joe Donnelly and Rep. Marlin Stutzman, a Republican from LaGrange County who represents the West Noble area in Congress. Indiana’s electric cooperatives have hosted the Youth Tour since 1960, providing thousands of young Hoosiers the opportunity to visit our nation’s capital and learn about the federal government and the cooperative utility industry. Anyone interested in applying for this trip (they must be a high school junior), contact Dreibelbis at Noble REMC in Albion at 636-2113. Noble REMC is an electric cooperative utility company serving nearly 10,000 customers in Noble, DeKalb and six surrounding counties in northeast Indiana.

It was a very beautiful morning, and as is my habit on Mondays to take at least half of the day to cash my check, breakfast at Tiffany’s and a trip to Goshen to shop for some supplies needed for the week, or to pick up my cleaning. No trip to Goshen is complete without a trip to Walmart, at least for my meds. I’m a simple guy so I’ll share something with you about me that I don’t discuss. I enjoy praying, and having fellowship with the Lord, so I thought maybe He’d like to travel with me and sit in the “shotgun” seat and I could chat with Him! It was going to be a perfect day, and everything was going to go right, wasn’t it? The Lord sat across from me in the restaurant, and I assured Him I would even share my meal. Other than the fact my coffee cup went dry once things went beautiful. When I arrived at my credit union, which sold out to a new company but was still going to honor transac-

tions from the former CU owners, but that’s where things begin to go sour. I was informed that because FROM THE I don’t have WINDOW a check stub they have OF MY to hold my STUDY check for two days before they Rev. John Lutton can make the deposit! After asking a couple of leading questions, and sharing with them my angle on the issue, I was told the rules were etched in stone and could not be changed, no matter how many years I’d been trading there, and how many friends I had! I took my check and went home, after my drive around Elkhart County doing my chores. This whole episode did not make me mad or

angry, but it did threaten to rob me of some of the joy I began my day with. Somewhere a baby was born to a set of Christian parents with a birth defect. In another place a baby died shortly after birth to young family. A father and a major player in God’s plan for a church and a community of youth, suddenly is taken from us. An unborn baby was injured in an auto accident, and would be mentally challenged for all of her life. Yes, often bad things happen to good people and to us it does not often make sense. As a child I curled up in my bed as the summer storms beat upon our roof, swayed the big trees in the yard around us with the crash and flash of the lightning and thunder, struck terror into my little heart. Mosie Lister wrote what is one of my favorite songs and I can still hear Jim Bohi singing it with his deep,
powerful voice: “In the dark of the midnight have I often hid my face, while the storms howl about me and there’s no hiding place. Mid the crash of the thunder, precious Lord hear my cry, keep me safe ‘till the storm passes by. “Many times Satan whispered, there is no need to try, for there’s no end of sorrows, and no hope by and by. But I know thou art with me, and tomorrow I’ll rise, where the storms never darken the skies.” My own cry is “Lord, keep me safe, ‘til the storm passes by!” One day life’s long night will have ended and we shall dwell with Him, where there are no more storms. It seems dark now, but wait — I see a light at the end of the tunnel, and it is He. He is coming! The Rev. John Lutton is senior pastor at Ligonier Church of the Nazarene.

Wolfpack suffers first defeat of the season Football team plays at East Noble Saturday with cancer benefit LIGONIER — The Noble County Wolfpack tasted defeat for the first time this season. The sour-tasting meal was served up by the Indiana Cutters, playing out of Bloomington, who took a last-second 14-13 win away from the Wolfpack. The Cutters scored with 28 seconds to go in the game and made the two-point conversion to go ahead. After their kickoff, the Wolfpack tried to work its magic. “We made it interesting, getting down to the 35-yard line, but ran out of time,” said Wolfpack coach Tom Marsh. The Cutters scored on their first possession. “We came out flat to start the game on defense, and they took the ball down and scored,” Marsh noted. “It was a good wake-up call because our defense did a great job of shutting them down after that. But if we plan
on making a run in the playoffs, we have to come out ready at the start.” Noble County scored in the first quarter with a 30-yard pass from Mike Knepper to Zak Anglin. Knepper returned to the Wolfpack lineup after sitting out last week’s win. A Brian Clawson 35-yard field goal gave Noble County a 10-7 lead at the half. Second-half mistakes, onoffense, by the ‘Pack kept the Cutters in the game. “We moved the ball down the field in the second half but fumbled inside the 20,” Marsh said. “We went from first and goal at the eight to third and goal at the 40.” Clawson, one of the most dependable kickers in the league, was able to add another field goal of 39 yards in the fourth quarter for a 13-7 Wolfpack lead. The Cutters pinned the ‘Pack at the one-yard line
after a punt with 4:10 to go in the game, and Noble County would not be able to get the first down. Clawson had to punt from the back of the end zone. The kick was fielded by former NFL Carolina Panthers and IU standout Jahkeen Gilmore. Gilmore took the punt at the 45-yard line and raced to the right side and went out of bounds at the 25. But a flag for a late hit hurt the Wolfpack and put the Cutters all the way to the ten-yard line. The Cutters got the ball to the two, but and on 4th down the Wolfpack were called for pass interference, giving the Cutters first and goal from the one-yard line. After three straight stops by the Noble County, the Cutters’ QB took the snap and was able to leap over the line and into the endzone. The Cutters went for a two-point conversion
and the win, instead of a one-pointer and overtime. The team from Bloomington converted their two-point and took the lead with 28 seconds showing on the clock. The Wolfpack was not able to do much in less than 30 seconds and the hard-fought victory was enjoyed by the Cutters. “I was very disappointed in the way we played, we started out flat and we had way too many penalties,” Marsh said. “I think we might have had more penalty yards then they had total yards. “I know when you have just over 300 yards of total offense and your defense gives up less then 100 total yards, you should win. But the Cutters did what it takes to win. They stayed close and played hard all 60 minutes of the football game, and that was the difference,” Marsh added. “They had a great

Wolfpack game dedicated to cancer awareness The Noble County Wolfpack family will continue their tradition of hosting a game to benefit breast-cancer awareness. This Saturday’s contest at East Noble High School in Kendallville has a 7 p.m. kickoff. Special fundraisers will take place, and information on cancer fighting will be available. A limited number of pink jersies, and other Wolfpack shirts, will be offered for sale. “We would really like to see the public come and support the team, but more importantly, to help in the fight against cancer,” said Tom Marsh, Wolfpack coach and general manager. “It’s a great family atmosphere and we are very family friendly.” crowd and it was an exciting football game. We look forward to playing them at home.” Marsh said the Minuteman team from the Interstate Football League may be folding up and that would eliminate a game in the second half of the season. Next up, the Wolfpack plays at East Noble High School in Kendallville this
Saturday night. It’s a cancer-awareness night with everyone urged to wear their pink jersies. (See related article on this page.) Admission is only $5 and kids 12 and younger get in free. Affordable concessions and a no-smoking stadium make for a great family outing. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

Colts say Heyward-Bey’s injury not too serious ANDERSON (AP) — Darrius Heyward-Bey spent Monday afternoon watching Colts’ practice. He moved around gingerly on his sprained left knee, but didn’t need crutches. Afterward, Colts spokesman Avis Roper told reporters that Heyward-Bey’s sprained left knee was “not serious.” Yet the question has not change: How much time will he miss? Teammates and coaches insisted after Monday’s morning workout that the free-agent receiver might be back on the field soon. “Yeah, it stinks when a guy goes down but it is the nature of football and hopefully it is not too serious, I don’t think it is,” quarterback Andrew Luck said. “I feel very comfortable with all those guys, they do the right things, they run the right routes at the right time, they know how to get to the spot.” The timing couldn’t be worse. Heyward-Bey, the No. 7 overall pick in the 2009 draft, had a solid first week at training camp, impressing everyone from Indy’s second-year franchise quarterback to perennial Pro Bowler Reggie Wayne. Then, Sunday afternoon, Heyward-Bey suddenly wound up on the ground. He was taken to training tent, treated and watched the end of practice with ice around the injured knee. By Monday morning, Luck and the Colts coaches sounded optimistic, though there were clear concerns about what a prolonged absence would mean for a team already short on proven receivers.
