YMCA, horse barn projects OK’d By Dave Kurtz dkurtz@kpcnews.net AUBURN — Major building projects for the YMCA and the DeKalb County Fair Association won approval from the Auburn Plan Commission Tuesday night. The YMCA is planning to more than double the size of its building on North Street. The fair association intends to build a large, new horse barn on the fairgrounds on South Union Street and revamp its horse arena. Both projects are likely to start this fall, spokesmen for the organizations said.
Plan Commission members raised no objections to the projects in brief hearings at City Hall. The YMCA project will add a 36,269-square-foot building addition to the west side of its existing center on North Street, which encloses 26,765 square feet. The building addition will include three indoor basketball courts, expanded exercise areas, office space, additional lobby space and an indoor walking-running track. The number of parking spaces will increase from 145 to 222.
“We’re trying to make this into a community hub,” said John Good, vice president of the YMCA board and chair of its building committee. Good said the expanded YMCA will have a fieldhouse concept, capable of accommodating basketball, volleyball and indoor soccer. Its expanded fitness area will include a women’s wellness center. The YMCA hopes to start construction on phase one of its project within next month or two and complete it within 12 months, Good said.
In 2014 or 2015, phase two of the project would add a warm-water pool for therapy, children and families. “We’re real close as far as doing it all” with finances, Good said. “If everything goes well, we’re looking at two years from beginning to end.” He said the YMCA is moving to a single building on North Street for a more efficient and modern facility. He said its 99-year-old Main Street building Projects, Page 5
Students learn of texting hazards By Sue Carpenter scarpenter@kpcmdia.com GARRETT — “Buckle your seatbelt — it’s going to be intense,” warned C.J. Rich as he introduced a graphic, hard-hitting video on the consequences of distracted driving to Garrett and Lakewood Park high school students Thursday. A casket was set center stage in the Garrett High School Performing Arts Center, a stark reminder of the reality of distracted driving. Rich listed texting, cell phones, eating, applying make-up, changing the
radio and looking around while driving as distractions that increase chances of accidents 10 times. DeKalb Health hospital sponsored the program that was also presented to DeKalb and Eastside students. The program, based in Grand Rapids, Mich., is a division of the National Save A Life Tour. Students first viewed a 15-minute video, set to music, depicting a texting-and-driving accident and its aftermath. Individuals affected by texting and Texting, Page 3

Slate of entertainment rounds out Pianos on the Square BY KATHRYN BASSETT kbassett@kpcmedia.com AUBURN — The Auburn Arts Commission’s Pianos on the Square event concludes this weekend with a full lineup of free entertainment. All performances will take place in Eckhart Public Library Park. The weekend will kick off with music from the Auburn Community Band Saturday from noon to 2 p.m.
Auburn couple Tim and Sharon McEntee will perform Saturday from 3-5 p.m. They moved to Auburn seven years ago from Cincinnati, Ohio, to be closer to family. Tim McEntee was born and raised in northern Allen County and attended Carroll High School. He started taking piano lessons when he turned 8. The lessons were a birthday present from his musical parents. He quickly
added organ and recalls playing at church events on the pipe organ at such an early age, he barely could reach the pedals. In his teens and beyond, he was a keyboardist for various musical groups. Sharon McEntee, from Dayton, Ohio, sang in church at an early age. She was in several high school and college plays and musicals and sang backup and lead vocals with a Christian contemporary band. In her mid-20s, she
purchased her first guitar and taught herself to play by learning the chords of traditional folk music. The couple were married in 1987 but did not start performing music together until after they moved to Cincinnati in 1990. They were asked to join the worship team of their church, which Pianos, Page 3

Parent education series begins Wednesday AUBURN — Children First will offer the first of five sessions on Redirecting Children’s Behavior parent education at Children First, 1752 Wesley Road, Auburn, beginning next week. The three-hour sessions will meet Wednesdays with the first session on Sept. 18, and every Wednesday at 6 p.m. with the last class on Oct. 16. The cost of the five-week course is $25 per person or $40 for couples sharing books. Two scholarships are available. Pam Deetz, a Quality Assurance Coordinator for First Steps, will facilitate the parenting education class. Deetz holds a master’s degree in psychology from
the University of St. Francis and has been in the social services field nearly 25 years. “Because each parent brings a different set of experiences every session is different,” said Deetz. “After so many years, I am still amazed that it’s never the same.” Deetz serves on the Adult Lifelong Learning action team through Learning Link and the Community Foundation. Learning Link’s overarching goal is encouraging continual learning at all ages. “There are many high quality resources available to DeKalb County parents, like Children First’s Redirecting Children’s Behavior class,
that we hope parents will take advantage of,” said Judy Sorg, Director of Learning Link. Deetz strongly believes that any parent can benefit from redirecting. When we simply react to our children’s behavior, we often come from a place of frustration or control,” she said. “Neither of these creates cooperation, connection and understanding. “There is a powerful moment of time between the stimulus (your child’s whining, bickering etc.) and the time you react. Redirecting Children’s Behavior will provide you with an awareness and understanding of those

Children First’s programs are based on the premise that all parents want the best for their children. Through its various programs, Children First seeks to partner with parents to help children become all they can possibly be. Home visiting and

Butler family receives keys to new home By Jeff Jones jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — Young Autum Kaiser didn’t let a sore throat curb her enthusiasm for her new home. “This is the most awesomemous house ever,” she chirped as she, her sister Lilly and brother Leary ran from room to room and tried out the doorbell Sept. 1 When asked why their new home — at 401 W. Depot St. — deserved such accolades, she said, “Because it has all the stuff we like.” The highlight of the intimate dedication ceremony occurred when Habitat for Humanity executive director Duane Gundy presented the keys to Autum’s parents, Nathan and Summer Kaiser. “Oh gosh, I’d like to move everything ahead a month so I don’t
have to move everything,” Summer Kaiser said with a laugh. “It’s nice that it’s finally over. It’s been very stressful.” During the ceremony, she admitted to having a couple of sleepless nights in anticipation of receiving the keys. “Absolutely not,” she said when asked if she had an idea where things would go in the new home. “I have no clue. I don’t even know if everything will fit.” The Kaiser home is the 54th to be constructed by Habitat for Humanity in northeast Indiana. At least two more homes are planned later this year or early in 2014 — another in Butler and one in Kendallville area, Gundy said. “We have one more lot in Butler,” he explained. “We want to try to do two at once.”
Two qualified families have completed their classes and are working on their sweat equity hours. “This is the essence of Habitat right here, to get to this point,” Gundy said, gesturing to the Kaisers and their children. “They always say thank-you, and that’s always nice to hear.” Gundy and Habitat family support volunteer Marianne Stanley presented the Kaisers with Bibles “because the home was built with love,” Gundy explained. “You have gone that extra step to make sure you have better for your family,” Stanley said. “That shows you’re great parents and great community members. I couldn’t be more proud to say I know you and helped you through this.”

Texting from Page 1 driving also shared their stories on the video. One girl told of how she sent her sister a text message that resulted in an accident causing her sister’s death. “Four little letters. That’s what killed her,” the girl said as she held up a phone that displayed the message, “Yeah.” A boy who was a passenger described the results of head injuries he sustained after being involved in an accident with someone who was texting and driving. “I used to be able to drive,” the boy said, “I used to be able to go for walks … I used to have a job. I was normal.” Rich then shared his own personal story of how impaired driving had affected his life and caused him to leave college to promote safety. He recalled identifying the bodies of the two women

in his life at the morgue, both killed in separate alcohol-related accidents. “Two closed caskets in two years — there is no re-do,” he told Garrett and Lakewood Park high school students Rich said his sister was killed in a drinking-anddriving accident when she was 15. Rich said the parents of the driver had been serving alcohol at a party and had given their son the keys to a vehicle so he could go and pick up a friend. Rich’s sister was a passenger in the car and also had been drinking. In the accident that would follow, the car flipped six times and Rich’s sister was decapitated from the jaw up, he said. Two years earlier, his mother was thrown from a motorcycle driven by his father who was driving drunk, and killed. His father was on leave from the
military and sentenced to 25 years in prison for the death. “When you hit someone, you affect the entire family,” Rich told the students. Junior and senior students sat behind the wheel simulators set up on stage, equipped with cell phones and other distractions to show them how quickly an accident can happen when eyes are taken away from the road. Each was evaluated on his or her reaction during a session. Freshmen and sophomores viewed the video during an afternoon presentation. Rich began leading programs in 2003 with a drinking and driving focus. In 2011, the attention was turned to texting. He and other representatives have traveled to some 70 high schools and 30 colleges a year, and also overseas.

Projects from Page 1 is outdated, and the YMCA uses only 40 percent of it. Ambassador Enterprises will evaluate the Main Street building, Good said. “They have some interest in seeing what they can do to revitalize it and keep the historical nature of it,” he said. The DeKalb County Fair Association will demolish its existing horse barn and construct a 27,389-square-foot building with a 4,802-square-foot attached canopy area. It will occupy

the south end of the site of the existing horse arena. The project will turn the horse arena 90 degrees, so it will run east-to-west. “This is a big building,” said consulting engineer Mike Kline. The horse barn will be 333 feet long, not counting the canopy. The building will have an 8-foot-high concrete wall, with a Nucor steel structure resting on it. Unlike the fairgrounds’ recently built draft horse barn and swine barn — both designed by Kline
— the horse barn will have a dirt floor. “The dirt floor concept is so they can do other things in it,” Kline said. The horse barn could be the site of antique tractor pulls, garden tractor pulls, rodeos or winter horse shows, he said. The fair association plans to break ground to begin construction of the horse barn immediately after the DeKalb County Free Fall Fair, Sept. 23-28, Kline said.

GARRETT — The Railroader JV moved to 2-1 on the season with a 48-8 home victory over West Noble Monday. Garrett started the scoring from the defensive side of the ball as sophomore Austin Johnson intercepted a Charger pass and returned it seven yards for a touchdown. Freshman Jaden Baker ran the ball in for a two-point conversion. Baker then scored on a 39-yard run around the right side and added another two-point conversion to put the Railroaders ahead 16-0 at the end of the first quarter. West Noble would get on the board with a touchdown run and two-point conversion of its own before Garrett freshman Noah Sattison tackled a Charger runner in the end zone for a safety and an 18-8. Baker added his third touchdown of the game right before halftime on a 46-yard rush around the left side. He also scored the two-point conversion behind an offensive line consisting of freshmen Jacob Klotz, Tyler Taylor, Cordell Camp, Noah Hartman and Sattison for a 26-8 halftime advantage. The Railroaders took to the air in the second half as Tanner Burns connected with fellow freshman Kamron Yarian on a 64-yard touchdown pass on the first play from scrimmage. Classmate Jordan Gunion ran in the two-point score for a 34-8 lead. Burns found freshman Garrett Sutton on a 7-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter before scoring on a 1-yard touchdown run of his own in the fourth quarter and Gunion added another two-point
conversion for a 48-8 victory. Garrett JV football returns to action Monday at Adams Central in a 5:30 p.m. kickoff.

RAILROADER SOCCER SCORES Garrett blanks Hamilton HAMILTON — The Garrett boys soccer team scored two goals in each half in defeating host Hamilton Monday, 4-0. The win improved the Railroaders to 5-3-1 on the season. Karsten Cooper got Garrett started with a goal off an assist from Reiley Pugh to make the score 1-0 about 15 minutes into the game. About 10 minutes later, Pugh scored his own goal and Garrett led 2-0. The second-half goals were scored by Dayton Sweet, off a pass from Andrew Bishop and Blake Western, with the assist going to Tristan Bigelow. Garrett held Hamilton to very few shots the rest of the way. Nik Wilkinson had three saves in goal to record the shut-out.
Railroaders swat Hornets GARRETT — The Railroaders defeated the Hornets 3-1 Tuesday at home for their second win in two days. The Railroaders lost their own kick-off and Angola scored the first time they touched the ball just 35 seconds into the game. The Railroaders keep their composure and started to take control of the first half gaining possession and getting several shots on
goal. Dayton Sweet tied the game with Garrett’s first goal 10 minutes before the half and Karsten Cooper added another for the lead four minutes later. The second half saw a back-and-forth battle with both teams having opportunities. Garrett’s Erik Savage scored on a shot from a distance that curled into the top corner of the net for a 3-1 lead with 20 minutes left to play. His goal was assisted by Gavin Dallas. Garrett’s defense was able to hold on to the lead as Ashton Castator, Andrew Bishop, Gavin Dallas, Carlos Jimenez, Scott Hjelm, and Sam Waterhouse kept the Hornets from challenging the lead. Garrett’s next game is Monday when they host Leo in the ACAC championship game.
Girls scoreless at West Noble LIGONIER — The Railroaders (2-4-1) and West Noble (2-3-2) ended in a scoreless tie in action Monday.
Garrett falls to Lions 8-0 LEO — Garrett (2-4-1) was held scoreless against Leo, 8-0, in Tuesday action. Railroader keeper Cassidy Wiechart had 14 saves for the game.
