Habitat planning fundraiser BY KATHRYN BASSETT kbassett@kpcmedia.com AUBURN — Habitat for Humanity of Northeast Indiana has three families who have completed the requirements and are on the waiting list for a home. The agency that serves DeKalb, Noble and Steuben counties also has an additional six families who have been board-approved for a home and are working on required classes and sweat equity hours. “It is such an exciting time for us” said board member Marianne Stanley. “But it is also frustrating because we simply don’t have the funding for these families that are working so hard to make their dream of stable housing a reality.” Habitat is planning a major event with the goal of raising at least $60,000. ManMania is a two-day event that will take place
Jan. 11 and 12 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the National Military History Center and Kruse Automotive Horse Power and Carriage Museum. The event’s primary audience will be adult males. Activities will include demonstrations, tough-man contests, vendors, food and drink, museum admission and a Habitat ReStore section. Habitat is looking for event sponsors. Sponsorship levels are $5,000, Super Man Sponsor; $3,000 Mega Man Sponsor;
$2,000 Tough Man Sponsor; and $1,000 Manly Man Sponsor. There are multiple sponsorship benefits, including company listings in event brochures, posters and banners, signage at the event, vendor table space, event tickets and more. Stanley said Habitat’s northeast Indiana chapter holds mortgages for 54 partner families in DeKalb, Noble and Steuben counties. “We know how to build, and we know how to make family dreams become a reality,” Stanley said. “We just need funding to make it happen.” Tickets for ManMania will go on sale Nov. 1 and cost $20 apiece. Call the Habitat office at 925-2508 for ticket information. For sponsorship information, contact Stanley at mstanley1303@ att.net or call the Habitat office.

By Sue Carpenter scarpenter@kpcmedia.com GARRETT — The Garrett Board of Works and Safety heard department reports at Tuesday’s session. Street department supervisor Eric Mossberger reported his crew has graded gravel alleys and is the process of repaving the others. He noted leaf pick up has begun and will continue until they are all gone or the snow falls. Mossberger and city planner Milton Otero have been assessing streets in need of repair. Hydrant flushing is nearly complete, according to water department supervisor Pat Kleeman. He is working with Peerless Midwest on preliminary work for a city well to be completed in the spring. City Attorney Dan Brinkerhoff suggested contacting water utility consultant Dave Wagner regarding specs for the project. Electrical service has been established at Countryside Estates, according to a report from Dave VanDerbosch, electric department supervisor. Construction on improvements at the city’s wastewater treatment plant continue, according to supervisor Bruce Schlosser. Police Chief Keith Hefner reported he is awaiting word on the return of Officer Domingo Perez, who was removed from active military duty in the U.S. Army Reserves on Oct. 1. Hefner also received estimates for carpet replacement at the station that were beyond his budget and he is waiting for a canopy to be installed above the back door. Otero reported two more property owners have met the requirements under the city’s 50/50 sidewalk replacement repair program. Four others have applied and were given price quotes, he said. The city has $40,000 in CEDIT money from which the repairs are funded. To date, about $13,198 has been used. Any excess will roll over to next year, as the winter weather permits. Fire chief Dana Treesh presented third-quarter statistics for his department totalling 109 calls. They include 53 medic assists, three structure fires, four motor vehicle accidents, four disregarded calls, one mutual stand-by, five mutual aid scene, one grass/field fire, nine miscellaneous fire calls, four false alarms, five hazardous materials calls, one rescue and 19 service calls. Treesh reported an average of 13.4 firefighters per call, with an average response time at 4.3 minutes. Average response for city calls was 3.8 minutes, and 5.5 minutes for township calls. Treesh also notified the board he will be moving to a home outside of the city limits and will not be running for the chief’s position in the upcoming election. Treesh said the department will have a new chief by the first of the year. A part-time chief will be added to assist with the new fire protection territory. Mayor Tonya Hoeffel said she received information about a $400,000 grant opportunity for fire equipment which she will forward to Treesh.

Landowner liable if tree falls in road By Aaron Organ aorgan@kpcmedia.com AUBURN — If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, it’s debatable if it makes a sound. But if a tree falls on a county roadway and causes damage, responsibility falls on the owner of the land where the tree grew and not the county. The DeKalb County commissioners last week held a discussion with county highway superin-
tendent Eric Patton on the number of ash trees that are dead and falling onto roadways around the county. Commissioner Don Grogg said a tree fell near where he was driving this weekend. Should a tree fall atop a passing vehicle or damage a person or property, the county is not liable, but rather the property owner, the commissioners said. “It’s something we need to make clear to the public, that even though they’re in the road right-of-way, it’s
not (the county’s) liability,” said Grogg. “It’s the owner’s responsibility. We’ve got to get it out to the people, that if you’ve got a dead tree out along the road, you’d better be cutting it down for your own good. It’s not the county’s responsibility.” Landowners in the county actually own to the middle of the roadway, according to Patton. He said the county is responsible for removing a fallen tree or limb, but crews only will push it off the roadway.

Library adds print management GARRETT — Garrett Public Library has received a grant to implement a new print management system. Now, when a patron prints a document, they no longer have to come to the circulation desk to receive their copies and pay. Payment is completed through a standard coin operating machine. This machine will accept bills and coins from five cents
to $5. Once a patron pays for their prints, copies are available for pick-up at a new color printer located next to the adult computers. This print management system is made possible, in part, by a grant obtained from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. This institution administers the Library Services and Technology Act.

Recognizing Malcolm advances to semistate Freshman earns great Hoosier individual berth teachers By State Sen. Dennis Kruse (R-Auburn) It’s important for us to recognize great Hoosier teachers all year long. They spend countless hours educating our children in hopes of leading them down a successful path. At some point during this fall, I encourage you to take the time to reach out to the teachers in your family’s life and thank them for all that they do. Each year, the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) conducts a special program to honor outstanding classroom teachers from across the state. In accordance with the National Teacher of the Year guidelines, one teacher is chosen to represent Indiana at the national level. The 2014 Indiana Teacher of the Year was announced earlier this month – Steve Perkins, a Latin teacher from North Central High School in Indianapolis, was awarded the title. The Indiana Teacher of the Year recognition program is a great way to celebrate teachers who strive to inspire all students to learn and who also positively impact the community outside of school. Two Northeast Indiana teachers were finalists for this year’s Teacher of the Year award: Sarah ShattoJones from Homestead High School, and Emily J. Oberlin from South Side High School. I would like to thank them for their service to Hoosier students and for setting examples of excellence in the classroom. Teachers play such a pivotal role in our society, and one of my goals at the Statehouse is to make sure we recruit and train the best teachers. To ensure our teacher’s receive high-quality training that will benefit our students, the Indiana General Assembly passed Senate Enrolled Act 409, requiring the IDOE to develop performance standards for teacher-education programs at our
colleges and universities. These standards will be used to highlight programs that are excelling, and help us determine what makes those programs so successful. The goal of this initiative is to improve our teacher-education programs across the state so that all Indiana educators are equipped to lead a 21st-century classroom. Another way we can share positive teaching techniques with our educators is through the Improving Teacher Quality Partnership Program. The program was designed to bring local school corporations and higher education communities together to ensure that teaching methods are adequately preparing young students for success. The Improving Teacher Quality Grant program was created, funded and operates under the federal legislation known as the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The program provides funds to create these partnerships within high-need school districts. The funds help support the professional development of teachers in core academic subjects. It’s important that legislators, community leaders, families and students recognize the hard work and dedication of our Indiana teachers. They spend their days molding and guiding young minds, while accommodating all kinds of learning styles, abilities and emotions. Every teacher is a great teacher in their own way. That’s why we must continue to support them so they have the skills and tools necessary to make a difference in the lives of our children. What do you think?
By Ken Fillmore kfillmore@kpcmedia.com LIGONIER — Garrett freshman Maranda Malcolm was among two area teams and 12 individuals earning semistate berths at the West Noble Cross Malcolm Country Regional on a wet, chilly Saturday. Malcolm finished 19th at 19:53:37 to make the cut. One team and six individuals from non-qualifying teams in each race did well enough to advance to the New Haven Semistate this coming Saturday at The Plex in Fort Wayne. Advancing to the semistate were the top five regional teams and the top 10 individual not from semistate-qualifying teams. Led by first-time regional champion Abby Hostetler, Fremont’s girls are returning to semistate and did so at less than full strength Saturday. The 23rd-ranked Eagles ran without key sophomore Katie Culler because of a foot ailment

By Aaron Organ aorgan@kpcmedia.com GARRETT – That “it’s a game of two halves” adage bit the Garrett football team Friday night. Garrett intercepted Heritage quarterback Branson Dossen four times in a could-do-nowrong first half and led 21-0 early in the second half, then gave up 26 unanswered points to the visiting Patriots in the second half in a demoralizing 26-21 loss. The Railroaders close the regular season with a 4-5 record, while the Patriots finished at 6-3. “It was two games, really,” said Heritage coach Dean Lehrman. ”We came out flat as a pancake and, I don’t know. We had some stirring speeches at halftime by some seniors and … I don’t know what happened, somebody awoke the spirit in the Patriots.” Garrett coach Chris DePew couldn’t have asked for a better start. On Heritage’s third play from scrimmage, Garrett cornerback Cole Wilson jumped in front of a Dossen pass for an interception, and four plays later, Railroaders quarterback Noah Follett ran in from 8 yards out to give Garrett a 7-0 lead less than a minute into the game. On Heritage’s next possession Ryan VandeZande intercepted Dossen, which set off a Railroaders drive highlighted by a 20-yard pass from Follett to VandeZande that Follott threw up in the back of the endzone and the 6-foot-2 senior jumped over two defenders to grab for the score. The Patriots next possession was stalled in the same way, on another interception by Wilson, as was Heritage’s next possession, stalled by another
VandeZande interception of Dossen, keying a 14-0 lead heading into the half. Garrett pushed the score to 21-0 on its first possession of the second half, when Follett laid a ball just over a defender and into the arms of a sprinting Wilson for a 44-yard touchdown. After that, Heritage took over. On its ensuing possession, Dossen capped a 6-play, 69-yard drive with a 2-yard punch in. Garrett then fumbled the kickoff, giving the Patriots a 1st-and-10 at the Railroaders 24 yard line, and two plays later 5-7 tailback Justyn Hart snaked through the Garrett defense and scored from 12 yards out. Hart would score again to open the fourth quarter to push Heritage to within a point of Garrett before the Railroaders front blocked the Patriots extra point attempt. The momentum was quickly lost. Garrett went 3-and-out on its next possession and Heritage responded with a 7-play drive closed by a Hart 7-yard touchdown run with 1:24 left to play. Follett was intercepted on the Railroaders final drive. Follett led Garrett with 116 yards on 8-for-15 passing with two touchdowns against one interception. He added a team-high 88 yards rushing. Wilson caught four balls for 69 yards and a score. Hart led Heritage with 218 yards rushing on 21 carries and the three touchdowns. Dossen finished 6-for-18 passing for 83 yards and the four interceptions, and added 63 yards on the ground. DePew said his team struggled to tackle in the second half and appeared to

Garrett quarterback Noah Follett (3) looks down field for an open receiver as Heritage’s Bradley Scott (77) closes in during the second half of Friday night’s game on Memorial Field. lose some aggressiveness as Hart ran around tacklers. He voiced disappointment in his team’s ability to close out games. “We got a team down, then we made a mistake or two and we let them climb back in,” said DePew. “It just wasn’t good enough. We’ve got to put the nail in the coffin when we’re up 21-0. We have to smell blood and go for it when it’s there. We have to, and we didn’t. We sat back, we coasted a little and we let them gain the momentum back. Good football teams don’t do that, teams that win games don’t do that. “If a kid throws four interceptions in the first half, you’re supposed to win that game,” said DePew. “If you’re up 21-0 in the second half, you’re supposed to win. You’re supposed to finish the game, and that’s not what we
did. We let it slip through our hands.” The two teams meet again Friday in Monroeville in the opening round of sectional play. DePew said his team must improve for this week’s when-it-matters rematch. He said he believes it is difficult to beat a team twice. Lehrman, on the other hand, said he isn’t sure whether the win will give his team important momentum or wake a giant. “That’s the $64,000 question,” said Lehrman. “It’s going to be difficult and there’s a lot of things to overcome. We’re going to have to go to Psychology 101 and work on our kids heads. We’ll be there, and I know Coach DePew’s troops will show up and be madder than a bunch of hornets. It’s going to be a game.”
