Snow, frigid air stalls city By Sue Carpenter scarpenter@kpcmedia.com GARRETT —Garrett students have extended their Christmas vacation by three days due to heavy snowfall and dangerously cold weather. School administrators elected to close school again today. Superintendent Dennis Stockdale expressed concern Wednesday for students walking on icy sidewalks and streets. Weather conditions prompted Mayor Tonya Hoeffel to declare a Level 1 snow emergency effective Sunday night at 7 p.m. and lifted Monday night at 9 p.m., restricting travel to emergency vehicles. City wastewater utility superin-
tendent Bruce Schlosser measured 14.5 inches of new snow at the plant’s official weather monitoring station Monday afternoon. That amounts to 1.1 inches of precipitation, he said. Fire Chief Chad Werkheiser reported streets in town were in good shape, but his department continued to survey roads in Keyser Township, which were drifting due to strong winds. “The county roads are 50/50 — half have one lane open, others not at all,” he said early Monday afternoon. Firefighters were called out to assist the Garrett electric department late Monday night, when a pole caught fire and took out
power to North Pointe Crossing for about three hours, Werkheiser said. Some electric utililty customers on the north end of town were also affected. A crew was on standby at the fire station since 4 p.m. Sunday and continued for 24 hours. “The city is looking pretty good — (street department workers ) are keeping up,” Werkheiser added. City snowplows were on standby to lead emergency vehicles to rural calls. Garrett New Market manager Chris Hoeffel reported dairy, produce and grocery delivery trucks did not run Monday. The store was depleted of eggs and gallon-size milk, but a shipment of
loaf bread arrived late Sunday to fill shelves. Hoeffel reported a record day Saturday, with a constant stream of customers from 9 a.m. until closing at 11 p.m. The store opened later than usual Monday, waiting until enough help was able to get in to open the doors. Hoeffel was not sure how late the store would remain open, due to concern for his help to get home safely in the bad weather. Police Chief Keith Hefner reported the main roads are pretty clean, but asked residents to try to move vehicles from the main arteries in town so the city can fully plow the streets Monday and

Public hearing on electric hike to reconvene Jan. 21 By Sue Carpenter scarpenter@kpcmedia.com GARRETT — A public hearing to discuss an ordinance raising electricity rates for city customers will be continued at the Garrett City Council meeting Jan. 21. The council introduced and passed the ordinance on first reading at its Nov. 19 meeting. Tuesday’s frigid weather and poor travel conditions may have prohibited potential public comment on the measure, said city attorney Dan Brinkerhoff.
The hearing was recessed and will reconvene Jan. 21. The rate hike is based on a cost-of-service study presented by consultant Rod Sibery of Spectrum Engineering at the council’s Nov. 5 meeting. He reported a $1.67 million deficit in the utility’s operating revenue between June 1, 2012 and May 31, 2013. At that meeting, Sibery said the average Garrett resident using 1,000 kilowatt-hours per month would see an increase of $22.97 per month, or 30 percent.
Customers using 500 kilowatthours would see a $6.06 per month increase — a 13 percent rate hike. Sibery was on hand to field questions Tuesday. Resident Matthew Klok of the 1800 block of Woodview Drive asked if the city had considered incentives for customers or offered programs to upgrade lighting or smart meters. Sibery responded the large deficit in the utility would prohibit such programs at this time, but he said the ideas could be considered in the future.
The study lists Garrett as having 2,894 residential users, 161 commercial single-phase users, 128 three-phase commercial users, 27 three-phase small power customers, 70 outside security lighting users and municipal street lights. In other business, Fire Chief Chad Werkheiser presented fourthquarter and end-of-year statistics for the fire department. He reported firefighters worked Public hearing, Page 6

Meeting to discuss Calvary Cemetery renovation tonight GARRETT — A planning session to discuss the revitalization of the historic Calvary Cemetery in Garrett will take place Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Garrett Public Library. David Cole of Garrett has been volunteering his time the past year to make a difference in the 120-yearold cemetery. Before Calvary Cemetery opened, Garrett residents were buried in locations such as Christian Union Cemetery northwest of Garrett or in Auburn. Cole said many people wrongly believe Calvary is strictly a Catholic cemetery. While the Catholic diocese at one time maintained the property, the cemetery serves a mix of faiths and people from all walks of life, Cole said. Many prominent and colorful figures in Garrett’s history are buried in the cemetery, he added. The diocese stopped maintaining the cemetery in the 1990s, and the Keyser
Township trustee’s office took over the property. Cole said many matters that need attention in the cemetery are beyond the funding capabilities of the township trustee. “Monuments are sinking or have fallen over, there are drainage issues, and the cemetery has been the victim of vandalism,� he said. Last spring, Cole contacted DeKalb County historian John Bry for assistance. Bry is developing a model for historic cemetery revitalization and management. He also is creating a National Historic Cemetery Center as part of his master’s degree work at Ball State University. Bry has started a process to list the community mausoleums in DeKalb County, including the one in Calvary Cemetery, on the National Register of Historic Places. Those applications are expected to be approved this month, he said.
People interested in the revitalization of Calvary Cemetery in Garrett are invited to attend a planning session Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Garrett Public Library. “The cemetery revitalization model is designed to build local leadership capacity and to be a comprehensive approach to the property’s preservation and long-term sustainability. In every community development effort, the public must be engaged, local leadership developed and a comprehensive strategy implemented
Program series to provide help for the grieving By Octavia Lehman olehman@kpcmedia.com AUBURN — A program beginning in January at Lakewood Park Baptist Church hopes to help those grieving the loss of a friend or loved one. Lakewood Park will offer GriefShare, a 13-week video-based program Keller addressing grief. Sandra Keller, a member of the church, will lead the program along with pastor Clare Jewell. Surrounded by friends who experienced loss, Keller said she wanted to support them — although she didn’t know how to do that tangibly besides offering to cook meals, pray and send cards.
Thank you...
Send them your heartfelt thanks. This is a great way to say thank you to everyone who helped you in your time of need. Reach them today in your hometown newspaper. Call today to place your happy ad.

While visiting a friend in Illinois, Keller noticed a change. That’s when Keller learned about GriefShare, a nondenominational discussion group that features biblical teaching on grief and recovery topics. Seeing how it helped her friend, she wants to bring the same type of support to those in the area who are hurting. “What happens when weeks turn into months and the loss is still there?� Keller asked. “We want to come alongside them.� The program will help those experiencing loss to walk through grief, and for those who feel helpless, or those who don’t know what to say or what to do for family and friends. “We need to meet the need,� Keller said. Keller said GriefShare is not meant to tell people that they have to get past their grief, but to help them move forward. “We need to be helping people that are going through this process,� Keller said. The program is open to anyone. “Everyone deals differently,� Keller said. “That’s OK.� Lakewood Park held a one-day session on grief

this month, “Surviving the Holidays,� and Keller was able to see the need for programs like GriefShare. Guests at “Surviving the Holidays� shared what people commonly say during losses that are hurtful. “The no-brainers were, ‘It’s for the best,’ and ‘They are in a better place,’� Keller said. “One guest said, ‘I just need a hug’ and someone to tell them they were sorry for their loss,� Keller said. The 13-week program will meet Thursdays from 6:30-8:30 p.m., beginning Jan. 16, at Lakewood Park. Participants do not have to make it to every meeting, Keller said. Each session is a stand-alone discussion. The $20 cost for the program covers the cost of materials. The videos feature interviews with leading authors, counselors, speakers and pastors with years of experience in grief recovery, such as Dr. Larry Crabb, Joni Eareckson Tada and Zig Ziglar. Each session includes a video seminar and group discussion. To enroll or find out more information, contact 925-2006, or visit lakewoodpark.org.
over the long term,� Bry said. Bry will use Calvary Cemetery as a case study to test his model by working with local volunteers to develop a comprehensive plan for the cemetery’s future. Calvary is one of two cemeteries chosen to test the concept. The second
is a 300-acre cemetery in Philadelphia that is attracting partnerships from the University of Pennsylvania and Cornell University. In both Garrett and Philadelphia, the goal is to complete individual plans for the cemeteries by May to move forward from that point.

GHS PROFESSIONAL INTERNSHIP UPDATE
Photo contributed
Garrett senior Taylor Butts recently completed an internship in the emergency room at Parkview Regional Medical Center through the school’s Professional Career Internship class. overall. It was encouraging to walk through the hospital and to see smiles and receive a greeting from everyone. It was easy to see that everyone loves their job and are very friendly with their coworkers, which is part of the reason I loved my internship. My favorite part of the internship was seeing all of the cases that came to the ER and learning about how to help them and make them as comfortable as possible. I experienced many different cases while I was at the hospital, which taught me about medicines and different procedures that must happen in the ER. I saw different patients and different cases everyday, and after this experience I
am seriously considering the ER as a career choice. I would suggest the Professional Career Internship class to everyone to experience the career field they are interested to be sure it is a good choice for them. This is a great opportunity for everyone and I believe it would be very helpful for future plans either in a career or college choices. If he or she has any doubts of a career field their interested in this program would be a great way to determine what is the best choice for them. I would like to thank the Parkview Regional Medical Center, the ER staff, the patients I saw, and Garrett High School for offering me this opportunity.
Cold weather warning brings potential dangers Three steps for seniors to stay safe With dangerously cold temperatures in the forecast, Home Instead Senior Care says now is the time for seniors and their loved ones to brush up on cold weather safety tips. “Winter can be a difficult time, as the harsh conditions especially impact seniors,” said Jeff Huber, president of Home Instead, Inc. “We want to make sure seniors and their loved ones are aware of simple ways they can stay safe and warm throughout the season.” Those over the age of 65 account for nearly half of all hypothermia deaths. As the body ages, the ability to maintain a normal internal body temperature decreases, creating an insensitivity to moderately cold temperatures. Seniors may not realize they are putting themselves at risk until symptoms appear. Symptoms of hypothermia include: shivering, exhaustion, confusion, fumbling hands, memory loss, slurred speech and drowsiness. If symptoms are present, immediate medical attention is necessary. The leading reason for hypothermia in the elderly is due to poorly heated homes, which is entirely preventable. Follow these simple tips to ensure a warm household.
Stay Warm • Keep the thermostat at 65 degrees, at least. Consistently check it to make sure your home is sufficiently warm. Even as heating costs rise, your safety should be a
priority. • Put a carbon monoxide detector near where you sleep. • Ensure that there is adequate insulation, and check and clean the fireplace and furnace. Furnace filters should be replaced monthly. • Minimize drafts by filling old socks with sand and using them in drafty windowsills and door jams. Weather-strip around windows and doors. Keep doors to unused rooms closed and close curtains at night. • Add an extra blanket to the bed and warm the bed in advance with a hot water bottle. Never use an electric blanket – it may be difficult to operate the controls if the temperature needs to be adjusted in the night. • Dress in layers of loose fitting clothing. If you go outside, make sure your head is covered. Every year, more than 1.6 million seniors end up in the emergency room because of a fall. With icy conditions, the chances of falling are even greater.
Preventing Falls • Take a couple minutes per day and stretch your limbs in order to loosen muscles. • Stay inside — make arrangements for someone to shovel and salt driveways and walkways. Professional caregivers can assist with to-do items, such as bringing in the mail and/or picking up groceries. • Wear shoes or boots with a non-skid sole. • Have handrails installed on outside walls for frequently used walkways. • If you use a cane or walker, check the rubber tips to make sure they are not worn smooth.

Winter weather can take a toll on everyone, especially seniors. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) can occur in seniors and impact their emotional health. Some signs to watch for with SAD include: a loss of energy, an increased appetite and an enhanced feeling of lethargy and tiredness. If symptoms are present, talk to your medical provider about treatment options. Additionally, winter storms can be unpredictable. It is important to be prepared in case of an emergency.
Build a network • Stay in touch in with family, friends and neighbors. Schedule phone calls, or enlist the help of a professional caregiver to come in for an hour a week. • Make arrangements for assistance in case of a blizzard or power outage. Keep important numbers in an emergency kit, along with non-perishable foods, water and medications. • Be familiar with your local resources. Visit www. ready.gov/seniors, www. noaa.gov or www.redcross. org for more information about cold weather.

DEATHS AND TRIBUTES
Student completes internship in hospital emergency room My name is Taylor Butts and I recently completed an internship at the Parkview Regional Medical Center in the emergency room. I chose to do the internship program to gain more knowledge of the medical field to determine what area I would like my college degree to be. During my internship I learned many new tasks that will help me in the future with college and my future career. I am very thankful for the nurses that allowed me the opportunity of shadowing them everyday, they taught me a lot and they treated me like another nurse on the floor, which has opened me to a lot of new experiences. Some of the tasks I was allowed to complete were taking vitals, getting blankets, sending blood work, talking with the patients to determine their medical history, and I often collected supplies. I also talked to many nurses and doctors about not only their hospital experiences, but also their college experience, which helped me tremendously in my college choices. I found this internship to be a great experience, not only in the emergency room but also in the hospital

Looking back from Page 1 the Nations will Put Their Hope.” Brother Bud Owen of the First Church of Christ led a Blessing of the Bikes in early April in the First Church of Christ parking lot. An estimated crowd of 65 bikers attended the event on a cold, windy and rainy Saturday morning. The riders then traveled to New Haven and returned to the church for food and other activities. The Railroaders and the Barons split a twin bill on the Garrett diamond. The teams played through freezing, gusting winds with a final of Garrett winning 10-7 and DeKalb prevailing 11-1. Amanda Stump won the 1,600 for Garrett at DeKalb, with Drake Landes first in the hurdles and long jump and Connor Meehan first in shot put. The City of Garrett Park Authority held its first meeting of the year with Patrick Sparkman elected president, succeeding Becky Blotkamp who did not return to the board. Mayor Tonya Hoeffel reported a two-sided sign was ordered for Ocker Park and a sign had been made listing rules for ice skating and ice fishing. More than 40 members and guests attended a meeting of the DeKalb County Genealogy Society at the former Sacred Heart Hospital in Garrett. Guest speaker Mary Rose Kimmel shared her own history of the hospital where she worked as a teen and later as an advocate for saving the historic building from demolition. Following the program guests toured the facility that now operates as an apartment building and the renovated grotto garden. The Garrett High School drama department presented “The Crucible” in the Performing Arts Center. The Pulitzer Prize wining playwright Arthur Miller penned the dramatic play in 1952. Seniors Sydney Weaver and Gus Ostman portrayed the drama’s main characters. Garrett-Keyser-Butler School Corporation was awarded a $100,000 grant from the Indiana Department of Education to focus on customized learning. More than 50 school districts applied for the grants, of which Garrett was one of 15 recipients. The Lady Railroaders fell to East Noble 11-2 at Kendallville. The Knights used “small ball” tactics to produce several runs in the win. Amber Poling homered in the second for one of the Railroader runs, and Masyn McCray crossed the plate in the fifth for the second score. A week later, the local girls beat DeKalb 3-2 but fell to Eastside 9-5 at the annual county-wide softball showdown. Unbeaten Lakewood Park won the championship game. St. Joseph School students met at Immaculate Conception Church

The society held its annual meeting April 8, at the former site. Guests toured the site and in Auburn following a flood at the Garrett school. The event also moved the school’s annual fundraiser to the Judy A. Morrill Recreation Center. Tree roots on the north side of the building plugged the drainage system at the school, according to Nick Miller who serves as the parish building grounds director. The Garrett Garden Club presented checks to the Community Care Food Pantry and Alliance Industries representing proceeds from the club’s annual wreath and evergreen sales. The Garrett Lions Club hosted a free vision and hearing screening at J.E. Ober Elementary School in conjunction with the school’s annual kindergarten registration. Garrett Schools announced a realignment of four administrators at the April school board meeting. Beginning in the fall, J.E. Ober would serve grades kindergarten through fifth grade with Kristi Surfus as principal. The middle school would include grades six through eight with Lucas Fielden as principal. Tonya Weaver was named director of administration and innovation and Linda DePew was named support principal working on evaluation and special education issues. Longtime Garrett business Brinkerhoff & Brinkerhoff was recognized as the Garrett Chamber of Commerce 2012 Business of the Year at the annual dinner meeting at Garrett County Club. The business was established in Garrett in 1902 with four generations serving the legal needs of the community. James Delano Brinkerhoff opened the business in 1902, and was joined by his son James Delano Brinkerhoff Jr. in 1939. J. Daniel Brinkerhoff joined the firm in 1974 and J. Darrick Brinkerhoff in 2008.

Penny Smith rings up a sale at Garrett Hardware Monday afternoon. Customer Jared Gaff, right, said he needed engine oil to get his snowplow to start.
Garrett snow from Page 1 Hefner said his department’s two sport-utility vehicles were patrolling around the clock plus a four-wheel-drive pickup. “We have ways to get to people,” he said, but so far
there have not been a lot of calls. “We’ve been pretty fortunate,” he concluded. Business at the Garrett Hardware was steady Monday according to
clerk Penny Smith. Many purchases involved snow shovels, heaters and engine additives. Others stopped by just because they wanted to “get out of the house,” she said.
