BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — Eastside High School senior Wes Timmerman sat behind the wheel, driving along a windy road, with passenger cars, school buses and fire trucks whizzing past in the opposite lane. As he drove, he was also attempting to read a received text message. Seconds later, Timmerman’s car crashed into a school bus, and he was dead. Fortunately, this wasn’t an actual crash, and Timmerman and the passengers on the bus are alive and well. Timmerman’s “accident” occurred in a simulator as part of the Distracted Driving Program in Eastside’s Millie Hansen Auditorium Wednesday. Distracted Driving is a division of the National Save a Life Tour, based in Grand Rapids, Mich. The presentation was sponsored by DeKalb Health hospital. “Texting and driving is really dangerous, and you probably shouldn’t be doing it,” Timmerman said when asked what he learned from the program. “I was dead,” Timmerman said. “It sends a message pretty well.

“A lot of people I know (text and drive),” he said. “I’ve done it a few times, but I don’t do it often. I’m probably going to stop doing it now.” “They’re getting a safe perspective of what it’s like to text and drive,” explained presenter C.J. Rich. “As trivial as it may seem, it serves a point. You got into an accident in a simulator. The end. That’s the point,” he said. Rich’s involvement comes from personal loss. His sister died in a drinking-and-driving accident 15 years ago. Rich’s mother died when she was thrown from a motorcycle driven by his father, who was drinking drunk while on military leave. “My little sister was killed by a drunk driver 15 years ago, so I decided to go out and do presentations like this at high schools and military bases,” Rich explained. “I wanted to heighten the awareness of kids and make sure they know what can happen if they get in a car and text and drive or drink and drive.” During his presentation, Rich wore jeans and a T-shirt, typical apparel for his audience.

“When I first started doing this, I was a robot — in a suit and a tie,” he explained. “You have to build an association with the kids or with any kind of group and make them feel like, ‘Hey, that could be me,’ and give them a greater association with what you’re trying to explain to them. “Maybe when they go out, they’ll keep this in mind,” Rich said. In addition to the simulators, students watched a video with a graphic representation of a traffic accident and its aftermath. While texting and driving and drinking and driving are both impairments, most kids have a cell phone, and as a result, are more likely to be tempted to text while driving. “Drinking and driving is more dangerous because the alcohol goes to your bloodstream,” he said. “Even if they pull over to the side of the road, people get into accidents. You can’t take the alcohol out of your bloodstream while you’re driving. ➤ Texting, Page 6

Eastside band places fourth BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com BLUFFTON — Eastside’s Marching Blazer Pride band finished fourth in Class D at the “On the Banks of the Wabash” contest at Bluffton High School Saturday. Adams Central swept the special awards for best music, visual effect and general effect in taking first place. Woodlan was second, followed by Eastern (Greentown) and Eastside. Less than 1-1/2 points separated Woodlan, Eastern and Eastside, according to Eastside director Damon Newell. “The kids felt very good about the show,” he said. “At first, they were disappointed in our placing. However, after looking at how incredibly close the scores were, they became very excited. “I felt our band performed fairly well for their first time out this season,” Newell said. “Everyone was anxious to see

Close margin separates 2nd-4th places how the show would translate to the judges and to the audience. Obviously, there is a lot of work to be done as this week and the season progresses. “What I appreciated most about this first show is that we now have a snapshot of where we are and where we need to go,” he added. “This will help us to better focus our rehearsals on specific areas of concern. The theme for Eastside’s contest show is “These Gifts,” featuring music from “Scenes from Simple Gifts” by Key Poulan. Concordia captured all three ➤ Band, Page 6

Butler to raise water rates 27 percent BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — Next year, Butler’s downtown water mains will receive much-needed replacement. Sept. 3, the Butler City Council adopted an ordinance to raise water rates by 27 percent and authorized city attorney Gerald McNerney to prepare a bond ordinance. The average household water bill will increase by about $7 per month, city officials said. The rate increase won’t take effect until the ordinance is adopted on its third reading. Council members approved the

first reading at the meeting. The increase was recommended in an August rate survey by consultant Crowe Horwath. The bond ordinance could be in the $1 million to $1.4 million range, McNerney said. “The water line on South Broadway is in desperate need of repair,” Mayor Ron Walter said. “In the 200 block, there are many places where it’s been repaired on the east side of the street. With the state indicating they are going to pave S.R. 1 sometime in the summer of 2015, if we’re going to do this, we need to do this in 2014.” The existing South Broadway

Aging water main to be replaced water mains are believed to be at least 100 years old. Another component of the project will replace a leaky water main along U.S. 6 to businesses east of the Norfolk Southern tracks. “It’s something that’s been talked about for a few years,” Walter said of the project. “Those

things don’t fix themselves, and yet it’s easy to ignore, because you don’t see them. The time for ignoring this water line has run its course, and it’s time to deal with it.” A rate increase would have been necessary even without the water main project, Walter said. That’s because Butler’s water utility lost just over $81,000 in 2012. State law prohibits utilities from operating in the red. That shortfall is partly the result of rising chemical costs, replacing a water pit in front of Eastside Junior-Senior High ➤ Butler, Page 6

Three new teachers join Butler faculty BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — Three teachers have joined the Butler Elementary School faculty in time for the 2013-2014 school year. Teachers will be featured in alphabetical order. A story about new teachers at Eastside Junior-Senior High School will appear in a future edition. Stephanie Griffith comes to Butler Elementary from Avilla. She is a graduate of Manchester College. She teaches first grade at Butler. “My passion is working with young children, and after experiencing the first “light-bulb moment” as a teacher, I was hooked,” Griffith said. When asked what she enjoys most about teaching, she said, “Watching my students learn and grow. It is amazing to see what children can do.” Griffith said fellow teachers and staff members at Butler Elementary have been

very helpful, and the building has a wonderful atmosphere. Before coming to DeKalb Eastern, Griffith was a cadet teacher in high school, participated in field placements in college, and was a student teacher with first- and fourth-grade students. Griffith enjoys reading, watching movies, playing volleyball, and spending time with family and friends. Todd Gump is from Fort Wayne. He graduated with a degree in telecommunications from Ball State University, and earned his master’s degree in elementary education from Valparaiso University. He will teach third grade at Butler. “I believe my desire to be an educator stems from my own love of learning,” Gump said. “I feel if I can instill that same love of learning in my students, then I’ve accomplished something. “My favorite thing about being an educator is seeing the transformation a student makes

when they finally understand a skill or concept that was once abstract to them,” he said. Gump said Butler Elementary and DeKalb Eastern is a made up of “a community of people who care, not just about education, but about each other as well,” he said. Before coming to Butler Elementary, Gump was a student teacher in Valparaiso. Upon moving back to Fort Wayne, he was a paraprofessional at DeKalb High School, working with special needs students. While thoroughly enjoying the experience, Gump wanted to start his teaching career. In his free time, Gump is an Ohio State Buckeyes fan. He also enjoys reading and movies. Gavin Wisel calls Garrett home. He is a graduate of Trine University, and holds a bachelor’s degree in elementary education. He teaches first grade. ➤ Teachers, Page 6

Blazers fall to 0-2 in NECC with loss BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com ANGOLA — The Angola Hornets capitalized on a couple of big plays and turned two Eastside turnovers into scores on the way to a 28-14 Northeast Corner Conference win Friday at Angola. Angola’s Austin Bauer had a big night, intercepting three passes and breaking loose for a 61-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter that proved to be the game-winner. He finished with 94 yards rushing on 11 attempts. In all, the Hornets (2-1 overall, 2-0 in the NECC) intercepted Eastside quarterback Conner Dove five times and recovered a Blazer fumble. The Hornets knew the Blazers were capable of scoring quickly. “Eastside’s a good team. They gave West Noble fits and were really on the cusp of winning the ballgame,” Angola coach Josh Schoeff said. “We were lucky enough tonight to capitalize on some of their miscues, and they capitalized on some of ours.

“It wasn’t a dominating effort on our behalf, but we just had a couple more plays at the right moment.” It was the Blazers who struck first, as P.J. Dean dove in from the one with 9:57 left in the first. Dean set up the score with a 42-yard burst to the Hornet 16. Kyle Franz’s extra point made it 7-0. The Hornets needed exactly one play to even the score, courtesy of Simon Gardner, who took a pitchout and ran untouched around the left end for a 60-yard score just 19 seconds later. Spencer Stites’ kick made it 7-7. The Blazers (1-2 overall, 0-2 in the NECC) turned the ball over on their next two possessions of the opening quarter, but Angola couldn’t make them pay. In the second, Eastside did cash in on Angola’s first turnover, however, as Kadis Renier recovered a fumble at the Hornet 24. On the next play, Eastside’s Tristan Sprunger out-jumped Angola’s Nick Spears to haul in Dove’s pass to the end zone. Franz’s kick made it 14-7

and Stites’ kick evened the score with 33.5 seconds left in the half. Angola wasted little time with the opening possession of the third. On third-andlong, Bauer ran off-tackle for 61 yards to the end zone, and the extra point staked the Hornets to a 21-14 lead.

Blazers see positives in defeat BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — Take two of the players out of the lineup, your team is probably going to struggle to score goals. That was the case when the Eastside soccer team took the field against Prairie Heights in a Sept. 3 match at Butler. The Panthers won the game 3-0, but Eastside coach Tom Utnage was impressed with his team’s play. The Blazers played without seniors Jared Yoder (injury) and Colton Hein (red card in last match). “That takes out a lot of experience in our midfield,” Utnage said. “We came up with a game plan of being a little more defensive. “We weathered a strong storm from Prairie Heights that first half. They must have had 20-some shots, but nothing that was severely dangerous — shots that were going wide, high or from

by the Panthers’ Christian Granados, was the result of a mis-kick on an attempted clearout by Eastside. “Other than that one

mishap, Zach Yoder played an absolutely beautiful game in goal,” Utnage said. “He had a strong night.” Defenders Cory Renfrow and Dylan Kaiser provided plenty of support in the near third. “They worked their tails off making sure people were marked up and communicating,” the Blazer coach said. Granados had the first goal of the second half, and Prairie Heights’ Enrique Castro added an insurance tally. “It probably wasn’t the most exciting game to watch, but that’s what we had to do as far as personnel,” Utnage said. “Prairie Heights was just able to break through once or twice (the second half). “Right now, it’s just the experience that’s hurting us,” he said. “We have a lot of kids that don’t have a lot of experience, but they’re learning and getting stronger every single time.”

The rest of the quarter was a swarm of turnovers — an interception by Bauer and a fumble recovery by Angola’s Dakota Steele and recoveries by Eastside’s

Kraig Whitman and Jacob Thompson. Steele’s recovery proved to be pivotal, giving the Hornets the ball at the Blazer 11 in the final minute of the third. One play later, Baryo scored, and Stites’ kick made it 28-14 Hornets. The Blazers finished with 14 first downs, but couldn’t find the end zone the rest of the night. Bauer had his third pick of the night midway through the fourth, and Troy Zvirblis added one in the final two minutes to thwart any Eastside comeback hopes. Eastside’s Dean finished with 127 yards rushing on 25 carries. The Blazers finished with 246 yards of total offense. Angola ran for 224 yards as a team. Both teams are on the road for NECC games Friday. Angola visits Lakeland and Eastside travels to Churubusco.

In case you missed it Angola now leads the all-time series 24-12. Eastside had won the last two meetings.

Awards for classes D and C will be announced at 5:42 p.m. Newell, who came to Indiana from Kansas, is optimistic about the band’s future in the 2013 competition season. “I learned a great deal about Indiana marching competition on Saturday. Indiana is quite different from Kansas in judging and competition,” he said. “I felt that we were able to get a good reading from all of the judges on what is working for us and what we need to dedicate more time into. “I believe the band kids realized we have a great deal of work to do in order to meet, or exceed, last year’s accomplishments,” Newell said. “They are very excited to get back to work and refine the show.”

Butler from Page 1 School and several smaller projects. “So many other communities are dealing with the same issue,” Walter said. “We’re actually in a good position that we don’t need to have an increase in our sewer rate, which is a much bigger part of the consumer’s bill.” City officials originally hoped to be able to reduce

the wastewater rate to offset the water rate increase. That won’t be possible, Walter said, because Butler plans to extend its force main from the steel complex to the wastewater treatment plant, also before S.R. 1 is paved. Wessler Engineering, Inc. of Fort Wayne was retained for $44,000 to do the engineering work for the water main replacement.
