Programs continue despite government shut-down FROM STAFF REPORTS A fortunate circumstance is keeping local Head Start programs open in spite of the federal government shutdown, local directors said this week. Fiscal years for Head Start programs begin on different dates, and programs across the nation with Oct. 1 starts are running out of money and closing their doors. Head Start programs with other fiscal year starting dates remain open. Two programs in
northeast Indiana start their budget years Nov. 1 — Vistula Head Start for Steuben and LaGrange counties and Community Action of Northeast Indiana Head Start, serving Noble County. GarrettKeyser-Butler Head Start in DeKalb County starts its fiscal year Jan. 1. While CANI Head Start has avoided the shutdown so far, “The same thing that will happen to us … come Nov. 1,” said its director, Mary Lee Freeze. “If the govern-
ment hasn’t gone back to work, we could very likely have to shut our doors until they do go back to work.” When the shutdown began, Freeze said, “At first, I thought, ‘Oh, this won’t last long.’ The longer it goes, the more concerned I get.” CANI Head Start serves 787 children in Noble, Allen and Whitley counties. The total includes Head Start programs for ages 3-5 in Kendallville with 44 children and in Ligonier with 34 children, plus 11 Noble County children in Early Head Start, which serves expectant mothers

FROM STAFF REPORTS AUBURN — A DeKalb County man who went to prison for the 1984 murder of an elderly Butler woman is facing legal troubles again. Robert W. Sleek Jr., 60, of the 3300 block of C.R. 427, Waterloo, was arrested Oct. 5 by the Waterloo Police Department on a warrant charging him with theft, a Class D felony. He is scheduled to appear Sleek Monday for an initial hearing in DeKalb Superior Court I. Sleek is accused of taking a generator, ladder and rare electrical components from a yard where he was mowing. Sleek first denied the allegation, then admitted he had taken the items and said he was willing to pay restitution, according to a police affidavit of probable cause for Sleek’s arrest. Police interviewed Sleek about the alleged theft while he was in the DeKalb County Jail, serving a 60-day sentence for operating a vehicle while intoxicated. He had pleaded guilty to that offense Aug. 28 in DeKalb Superior Court I. Sleek has served a 50-year prison sentence in the Indiana Department of Correction for his conviction on a charge of murder in the Oct. 5, 1984, stabbing death of 67-year-old Pearl Lemper, who was his neighbor in a duplex.

I-69 exit opens at Co. Rd.11-A in ’63 50 Years Ago
25 Years Ago
Phyllis Traster of the 1000 block of South Randolph St. captured her ninth Garrett Country Club women’s golf title in the past 11 years. She out-shot Neva Boyce 13-12 in the final 36 holes of LOOKING match BACK play. She Stories from won her way to the The Garrett finals by Clipper defeating archives Juanita Kessler and Louise Harlan. Boyce defeated Eileen Zumbrun and Ilene Case to get to the final round. “Gunfight at the OK Corral” starring Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas was featured at the Auburn-Garrett Drive-In in October 1963, sharing a triple feature with “Hercules and the Captive Women” and “The Sin of Mona Kent.” Interstate 69 would officially open for traffic at the Co. Rd. 11-A interchange on Monday, Nov. 4, according to an announcement from the Indiana State Highway Commission. DeKalb County officials, civic leaders and Fort Wayne and Allen County leaders would join state officials for a dedication ceremony. The interstate would now extend 10.448 miles north of DuPont Road making more than 24 miles of highway around Fort Wayne. The newest section was built at a cost of $4.7 million, including $3.4 million for paving and $1.2 million for eight bridges. Attorney Warren G. Sunday, chairman of the DeKalb County Aviation Board, met with members of the Garrett Chamber of Commerce to answer questions regarding the proposed county airport south of Auburn. Although the chamber was on record as supporting the airport, some area residents expressed negative attitudes toward the project, due in part to misunderstandings. Sunday noted the board’s meetings are open to the public, but that very few people avail themselves of the opportunity to learn first hand the issues taken up at the meetings. Home Quality Market located at the Mile Corner north of town advertised whole hams for 45 cents a pound and milk for 3-1/2 gallons for $1. Haynes & Potter Motors in Auburn featured the 1964 wide-track Pontiac Tempest with a new six cylinder for ‘savers’ and a V-8 for ‘swingers.’ The Tempest was available in both hard top and convertible models.
Robb Murley began his Eagle Scout service project to construct a practice serving board to be mounted on the fence at the tennis courts at Feick Park. The city paid for the materials. Scout Troop 178 will be helping him install the board. While Everett Julow’s potato crop wasn’t the best in 1988, he still harvested some unusually-shaped potatoes. He was photographed one that looked like a teddy bear, the other like the film character, ET. The Eastside Blazers downed Garrett 29-7 to capture the NECC football crown. The title did not come as easily as the score might imply, as coach Rick Kirkton’s G-Men easily played their best since an earlier win against West Noble, with no turnovers, no fumbles and no interceptions. But injuries in the first half played a part in the loss, with QB Jim Gamble injuring his arm and linebacker Phil Lemper with a knee injury. Both were taken to DeKalb Hospital. Dean Weimer was also on the sidelines wearing street clothes with a groin injury. Sophomore Mike McCroy pounced on a Blazer fumble late in the second quarter moving the ball to Eastside’s 16. Ty Maggert led the squad to a TD in two plays, with Chad Davis rushing for two yards on the first down and Ted Custer receiving a 14-yard toss for the score. Troy Bigelow nailed the extra point. The Garrett Board of Works denied a variance request for Marilyn McCorkel to begin operating her four-bedroom home in the 100 block of South Cowen St. as a boarding house for MTA trucking school students. Several Garrett residents voiced opposition at the meeting, while one resident who currently operated a boarding room on the same block supported the request. The board denied the request due to five specific points related to the residential-zoned area. McCorkel said she planned to take the matter up with the city plan commission and the common council. The Garrett Rotary Club sponsored a football outing to attend an NFL game with Detroit Lions battling the New York Giants at the Silver Dome in Pontiac, Mich. The $65 cost included an excursion bus trip with refreshments to and from the game, brunch and shopping at Berman’s Christmas Store in Toledo, game tickets and a bag of peanuts at the game. The proceeds from the event would help offset expenses from the club’s Fourth of July fireworks sale which fell short due to drought the previous summer.

Railroaders fall to LP in soccer finals By Ken Fillmore kfillmore@kpcmedia.com GARRETT — An experienced Garrett boys soccer team enjoyed a special season. A talented Lakewood Park Christian team proved to be too much for the Railroaders Saturday afternoon as it is looking to break down a bigger barrier. The Sweet Panthers won their sixth straight sectional championship, defeating Garrett 4-0 in the Class 1A Garrett Cooper Sectional final. Lakewood Park (15-2) will take on the Blackhawk Christian Sectional Wilkinson champion (either the Braves or Concordia) in the first semifinal of the Garrett Regional Thursday at 5 p.m.
“Winning sectionals is what these guys have grown accustomed to. Now is time to take the next big step,” Panthers coach Terry Exford said. “We believe in ourselves that we can do it. “We’ve learned to play as a team. We’ve had to work in new ways to add skills into our game.” LPC was skilled enough on Saturday to take care of business. It dominated possession and won a large majority of the 50-50 balls especially in the air. But Panther junior goalkeeper Adam Hollman had to play big early. He deflected away a header by Karsten Cooper to stop a quality chance. Lakewood struck early on a goal by Hunter Yoder. Sophomore Bradey Gerke was too free in the Railroader box late in the first half and buried a shot high and to the right of Garrett goalkeeper Reiley Pugh with 1 minute, 32 seconds before halftime to put the Panthers up 2-0. “It was just a matter of attrition. They wore us down,” Railroaders coach Doug Klopfenstein said. “They dominated on offense and we spent a lot of time playing defense. It was just a matter of time.”
Jared Gerke scored twice for LPC in the second half. His first tally come on an assist from Bradey Gerke 9:55 in. The second goal came with 17:27 left. Yoder also had an assist. “The guys executed to perfection,” Exford said. “We took away the middle of the field where their strength was and forced them to the outside. Nine (Cooper) and 10 (Dayton Sweet) are their biggest options. They could not work the ball.” Pugh made six saves in goal for the Railroaders. Nik Wilkinson replaced Pugh and played the final eight minutes between the pipes without making a stop. Eleven seniors finished their prep soccer careers for Garrett: Cooper, Sweet, Wilkinson, Chris Colby, Blake Western, Kaleb Hoover, Erik Savage, Keaton Lemish, Andrew Bishop, Ashton Castator and Gavin Dallas. The Railroaders set a program record for wins in a season and finished 13-5-1. “We need to leave here with our heads up high,” Klopfenstein said. “Those seniors played in almost 70 games for Garrett. That’s incredible. I’m proud of all our guys.”
Head Start from Page 1 “I never dreamed the federal government wouldn’t come to an agreement and the government would shut down,” said Susan Swager, director of Vistula Head Start. “I keep praying each day they come to an agreement.” Meanwhile, Swager and other Head Start directors are working on contingency plans. The shutdown has ended any support for local Head
Start programs from their regional office, Molargik said. She worries that it could affect processing of her budget for 2014. Even when the shutdown ends, Head Start faces possible budget cuts from Congress, Freeze said. The agency felt a 5.27 percent cut already this year, she said. Roller-coaster funding issues aren’t anything new to Head Start.

“It began with the sequestration. Six months into the budget year we lost about $63,000,” Swager said. “Because of that, we closed our Hamilton location. We reduced transportation cutting back to one whole route. We shortened the school year by seven days.” Swager said if her Head Start locations are forced to close, children would miss out the most in learning and activities.

Arrested from Page 1 Sleek guilty of murder, and then-Judge Charles Quinn sentenced Sleek to 60 years in prison. Sleek appealed, and the Indiana Supreme Court overturned his conviction, ordering a new trial. The Supreme Court ruled a taped confession that was played to the jury during the first trial was inadmissible, because it was obtained illegally, and violated Sleek’s Miranda rights. The case was transferred to Delaware County, where Sleek pleaded guilty to murder. On April 16, 1987, Sleek was sentenced to 50 years in prison. Indiana Department of Correction records says Sleek’s earliest possible release date was Feb. 9, 2009, and appear to indicate he was released from prison on that

date, after serving nearly 22 years. In the 1987 sentencing hearing, the judge noted Sleek’s criminal history included several drunkendriving charges, nine theft or forgery charges, several misdemeanor offenses and a 1977 rape conviction in Pennsylvania for which he was sentenced to 5-10 years of incarceration. As a result of the rape conviction, Sleek currently is listed on Indiana’s sex offender registry. However, a new court ruling will result in Sleek being removed from the registry, said Dave Bundy, a DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department special deputy in charge of sex offender registration. The ruling says Indiana cannot force sex offenders to

register for crimes committed in other states before Indiana began its registry in the mid-1990s, Bundy said. Sleek moved about one month ago to an apartment near DeKalb Middle School, Bundy said. That would not be permitted under rules for registered sex offenders, but due to the court ruling, DeKalb County authorities could not object to Sleek’s residence. Sleek apparently is planning to move to Allen County soon, however, Bundy said. Sleek returned to DeKalb County in February, Bundy added. After his release from the Indiana prison system in 2009, Pennsylvania revoked Sleek’s parole on the rape conviction and returned him to a Pennsylvania prison for approximately three years, Bundy said.

Strong second half lifts Lions By Phil Friend pfriend@kpcmedia.com LEO — Leo ran only 13 plays in each half in Friday’s Allen County Athletic Conference tilt against Garrett. In the first half, the 4A No. 6/7 Lions only tallied 64 yards as the visiting Railroaders kept the score tied at halftime. But Leo erupted for three big plays and 205 yards in the second half en route to a 35-7 win that was much closer than the final score indicated. Leo (8-0, 5-0 ACAC) clinched a share of the ACAC title with the victory. Garrett (4-4, 2-3 ACAC) looked to be shorthanded from the get-go, as starting quarterback Noah Follett was out with an injury suffered last week. Stepping into his shoes was freshman Tanner Burns, making his first career varsity start. Garrett drove inside the Leo 15-yard line on its first two drives but came up empty. On the first one, a Karsten Cooper 28-yard field goal attempt was blocked by Logan Glaze, and teammate Austin Rinker picked it up and ran 89 yards for a 7-0 Leo lead following the extra point. On the next possession, the Railroaders drove to the 12 but the drive fizzled out. “When you play a good team, you’ve got to cash in while you’re down there. Maybe we should’ve taken a shot or two at the end zone,” said Garrett head coach Chris DePew.

Garrett freshman quarterback Tanner Burns is hit right after he releases the ball in Friday night’s game against Leo. Burns finished with 78 passing yards. Garrett would tie it up in the second quarter thanks to a short field set up by an 18-yard Leo punt. Running back Bryit Sumner scored the touchdown from a yard out. “It took us some time
this week to figure out what would work best for us on offense,” DePew said. “(Follett’s injury) caused us to change some things. “We walked in a little wounded starting a freshman quarterback. Playing against

the best team we’ll play all year, at Leo, couldn’t be a tougher task for a kid and it says so much about him as a young man. He had complete confidence. If he was nervous I could never tell.” The game turned midway through the third quarter. Trailing 14-7, the Railroaders drove all the way to the 26. On a 4th-and-12 play, Burns’ pass was picked off by Chris Horn at the 5-yard line, and Horn returned it all the way to the Garrett 31. On the next play, Leo QB Jordan Hissong kept the ball and scampered 31 yards for a TD and a 21-7 lead. The Lions would add two more touchdowns, one in each quarter. Logan Leiter rumbled 35 yards for a score in the last minute of the third and later added a

73-yard score in the fourth quarter to provide the final margin. “They have big-play potential,” DePew said. There was a scary incident late in the third quarter. Garrett’s Tommy Reneau was blindsided on a hit by a Leo player and stayed down on the ground for more than 10 minutes before the EMT truck came out on to the field and took Reneau to the hospital. DePew did not specify the injury. Sumner was a workhorse for the Railroaders Friday night, carrying the ball 35 times for 131 yards. Bo Davis had 25 rushing yards and Gabe Gunion 22 yards. “He loves to run the ball. He gets mad when he doesn’t get to,” DePew said. “We trust him quite a bit. He, like most of them, is filling his role to the best of his ability. That’s all we can ask of him.” Burns completed 4 of 12 passes for 78 yards and two interceptions. Junior Cole Wilson caught all four of Burns’ passes for 78 yards. Garrett also dominated the first-down department, tallying 19 to Leo’s four. Leiter finished with 164 yards rushing and Hissong added 83 to account for all of the Lions’ rush yards. “They’ve got size, speed, confidence, playing at home, it’s senior night - a lot of things stacked against us. The team still played like men and stepped up,” DePew said. “They’ll walk out of here with their heads held high, but ticked.” Leo 35, Garrett 7 At Leo SCORE BY QUARTERS Garrett 0 7 0 0 - 7 Leo 7 0 21 7 - 25 SCORING SUMMARY First quarter L - Austin Rinker 89 blocked field goal return (Zach Ferran kick), 5:21 Second quarter G - Bryit Sumner 1 run (Karsten Cooper kick), 8:01 Third quarter L - Jordan Hissong 4 run (Ferran kick), 8:34 L - Hissong 31 run (Ferran kick), 3:14 L - Logan Leiter 35 run (Ferran kick), 15.9 Fourth quarter L - Leiter 73 run (Ferran kick), 6:07 GAME STATISTICS First downs Passing (C-A-I) Passing yards Rushing (att-yards) Total yards Fumbles Penalties (No-yards)
