substance, a Class B felony, and four counts of conspiracy to commit forgery, a Class C felony. Ringel also faces two Class A felony charges of conspiracy to commit dealing in a controlled Ringel substance, according to Fayette County Prosecuting

Legion Riders escort American Legion National Commander Dan Dellinger to the Garrett Legion Post Tuesday. Dozens of post commanders and district leaders created an avenue of American flags for the entourage.
Legion leader visits Garrett By Sue Carpenter scarpenter@kpcmedia.com GARRETT — The national leader of American Legion stopped in Garrett Tuesday during a three-day trip throughout Indiana. National Commander Dan Dellinger was escorted to Garrett Post 178 by some 30 American Legion Riders and greeted by dozens of area post commanders and district dignitaries Dellinger under an avenue of American flags. Dellinger shared his vision during remarks to Legion members following a dinner prepared by the Garrett American Legion Auxiliary. He recognized Robert “Bob”Newman of Garrett, one of the national vice commanders. “It’s been a real pleasure to serve with him this year,” Dellinger said. Dellinger said he likes to visit the various Legion posts to thank them for what they
do for the community and for veterans. His motto for this year stems from his background in construction. “I know that you need a strong foundation to build anything that lasts, and the American Legion has that foundation with 95 years of great service to our veterans and to our communities and our nation,” he said. Dellinger is pragmatic about his duties as national commander, citing jobs and education that are needed for the 1.2 million soldiers who will be coming off of active duty in the drawdown and through budget cuts. “We are here to help,” he said. “They are going to need jobs. They are going to need people to assist them with integration back into civilian life. We need to be there for our vets.” Last year, the American Legion cosponsored 295 job fairs and untold others that Dellinger said he was not aware of. “We are responsible for our veterans. That’s where membership comes into play. We have the numbers

By Sue Carpenter scarpenter@kpcmedia.com GARRETT —The Garrett Common Council Tuesday introduced and passed on first reading an ordinance to increase electric utility rates for city customers. The rate hike is based on a cost-of-service study presented by consultant Rod Sibery of Spectrum Engineering at the Nov. 5 council meeting where 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 kilowatt-hours would see a $6.06 per month increase or a 13 percent rate hike. The study listed 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. A public hearing on the measure is planned Tuesday, Jan. 7 at 7 p.m. in City Hall where Sibery and city utility consultant Greg Guerrettaz of Financial Solutions Inc. will be present to field questions. Planner Milton Otero reported two sidewalk projects are in the works yet this fall, concluding the first year of the city’s 50/50 sidewalk replacement project. To date, the city has spent $22,104 on the program, including 11 separate sidewalks measuring 5,785 square feet and 10 ADA ramps. His department continues to work with F & H Associates, Adventure Homes, for a planned development of a 18,110 square foot addition to the current site on Fuller Drive. Otero said he is currently meeting with A & Z Engineering to review the city’s Safe Routes to School grant application that is due Dec. 13. He also reported he is working with council member Brad Stump and city attorney Dan Brinkerhoff to streamline the city’s tax abatement application program and is discussing an update to the permit fees schedule with the plan commission. Otero reported 135 code violations, four property abatements and 119 improvement location permits at Tuesday’s meeting. In other business, police chief Keith Hefner reported the Board of Works earlier in the day approved the purchase of a used 2008 Ford Crown Victoria police cruiser with 75,000 miles from the City of Monon for the cost of $8,000. The vehicle will be used as a K-9 car. At its meeting prior to the council meeting, the Board of Works heard new decorative light poles will be installed in Countryside Estates at the developer’s cost the second week of December, replacing wooden poles already in place. The board also rejected two bids opened at the Nov. 5 meeting for a new water well to be installed in Eastside Park, and approved the hiring of Wessler Engineering of Indianapolis to outline new specifications for the project. The earlier bids came in with a $26,000 difference in cost and the city wants to be sure the project is properly defined. Hefner introduced high school senior Becky Molargik who is working as an intern with his department for 18 weeks.
Huntertown seeks to claim DeKalb, Noble water territory By Bob Braley bbraley@kpcmedia.com ALBION — The Noble County Board of Commissioners voted 2-0 Monday to send a letter opposing Huntertown’s efforts to claim water utility service territory in Noble and DeKalb counties. Huntertown has passed an ordinance claiming four miles outside its city limits for its water and sewer utilities, said Commissioner Gary Leatherman. That would extend 0ne-half mile north of LaOtto in Noble County, he
said. Because Huntertown is near the DeKalb County line, the proposed territory also would extend into DeKalb County. Noble County attorney Dennis Graft said the Huntertown ordinance extends the sewer utility only to the border of Allen County, in which the city is located. But the ordinance extends the full four miles into Noble and DeKalb counties for the water utility, he said. State Rep. David Ober,
R-Albion, who attended Monday’s commissioners meeting, said Huntertown is making a move in a long-running utility struggle with Fort Wayne. While Ober said he wouldn’t recommend getting into the Huntertown-Fort Wayne situation, he said Huntertown’s move encroaches into Noble County. He said the commissioners could find the move to be improper. The commissioners voted 2-0 to send a letter to the Indiana Utility
Regulatory Commission opposing Huntertown’s move. “It’s hard for me to get around the idea that Huntertown would enact an ordinance that encompasses part of Noble County, let alone DeKalb County,” Leatherman said. Ober said Huntertown cannot pass an ordinance that is binding beyond its jurisdictional boundaries. Courts struck down a similar ordinance Chandler, Ind., sought to impose, he said.

GOP spends $421 in ’63 race 50 Years Ago Although victorious in all five Garrett Common Council races, members of the Republic Party lost races for mayor and clerk-treasurer in the Nov. 5 election. Mrs. Hazel Francis, treasurer for the city GOP, reported expenses of $421 for the election, with $302 spent on advertising, printing and other campaign materials, plus expenses for taking polls. Twelve directors were named to the United Fund at its annual meeting at the YMCA in Auburn. Auburn directors included Lloyd Cline, Barbara Oren and Ned Gschwend. Carson Schlosser and A.W. Galatin would represent the Garrett area. City employees honored Mayor Fred Feick at a banquet to recognize his 29 years of service to Garrett. Some 100 guests gathered at Platner’s Steak House north of Garrett, where Feick was presented a new typewriter as a gift. City attorney J.D. Brinkerhoff served as master of ceremonies for the evening. He summarized Feick’s career in community service, including a term in the state legislature, two terms on the state’s legislative committee
for the Railroad Brotherhood, and the many projects he completed at longtime mayor of Garrett. Seven Garrett gridders were selected for All-NEIAC honors in the fall of 1963. Three first-team honorees were linebacker Keith Bunn and backs Eugene Hathaway and Larry Warstler. Linebacker LOOKING Roger Noel was BACK placed on Stories from the second team; and The Garrett linemen Clipper Allen Rapp archives and Tom Vanderbosch were selected to the third team. Junior lineman Glen Ludban earned honorable mention.

25 Years Ago Ed Bowman of Garrett was invited for the third time to help decorate the White House in Washington D.C. for the Christmas season. Bowman was previously invited in 1982 to assist with Christmas and again in 1985 to help with the Inaugural Balls. In 1968, Bowman would be taking a pine cone wreath to President Ronald and First Lady Nancy Reagan with a letter paying tribute to the president’s eight years of service. Jerry and Bonnie Bentley of Huntertown, and their children, constructed the wreath of pine cones and nuts, while Bowman added items native to Indiana, such as apples, a cardinal bird, paper ribbon depicting corn husks and English walnuts native to Reagan’s home state of California. Bowman operates Ed Bowman Sales,
a wholesale and retail floral business. Bids for the final three phases for the Indiana 3 four-lane project came in far below state estimates, clearing the way for the project to go forward. Total bids for the 12.7 mile project were $30.4 million, 16 percent lower than the engineer”s estimate. Construction would begin in the spring of 1989 with completion set for November 1990. Miss Hunt’s high school Foods I classes prepared a traditional Thanksgiving dinner for Garrett teachers. The menu included turkey and dressing with all the trimmings, topped off with pumpkin pie with whipped cream. Fourth-grade teacher Tina Novy was surprised when her students at St. Joseph School honored her for being selected as a semifinalist for Indiana Teacher of the Year. Her students included Gena Januseski, Josh Myers, Keely Sudhoff, Mindy and Missy Staley, Joe Hardenbrook, Jeff Yoder, Jaime Hamlton, Jennifer Blotkamp, Erin Kobiela and Jared Miller.

Commander Art Evans, left, of the Garrett American Legion Post 178 presents $500 to National Legion Commander Dan Dellinger for the National Emergency Fund. Bob Miller, District Four Commander, second from right, presents a check for $1,000. With them at far right is national vice commander Bob Newman of Garrett.
Commander from Page 1 because the rest did not file reports, he said. Dellinger will be returning to his home in Vienna, Va., near Washington D.C., at the end of the week. “Politics has replaced patriotism in this country — this is not a healthy sign, as far as I know,” Dellinger said. “But we, the American Legion, the largest veterans organization, need to make sure that Washington is well aware that they need to take care of our veterans” He shared hardships many faced during the recent government shutdown and spoke of a news conference he held in front of the World War II memorial in Washington. A reporter asked him who was to blame for the situation. “I don’t blame right or left, but I blame the House, Senate and the president for not carrying out the
duties they were sent to Washington to do,” he responded. “As the chief spokesman for the Legion, it is what we do in our communities, it is what we do to take care of our veterans that keeps us on the right path,” Dellinger said. Dellinger’s commander project for the year is the National Emergency Fund. Last year the Legion gave more than $750,000 in grants to help veterans and their families through natural disasters such as Hurricane Sandy, wildfires and floods. “It’s not whether these natural disasters will happen, it is the where and when” with recent weather anomalies, he added. Dellinger’s scheduled stop in Kokomo Tuesday was scuttled due to power outages that remained in the tornado-damaged city. His goal is to raise $1 million this
year, “less than 50 cents per head,” he said of the Legion membership. “We can do that because we, the American Legion, will be there for our veterans and their families in time of need,” he added. Dellinger said he is not worried about membership rolls, but with assisting veterans who need help with jobs, medical assistance and education. He was not active in the Legion until later in his career. One day, Vietnam veterans and older veterans will recognize the importance of the Legion and will have the time in their lives to become involved, he said. Dellinger thanked all the veterans for what they do. “Because you continue to serve, even though you are out of uniform, you still serve every day,” he said. “Every day should be Veterans Day.”
Miss DeKalb County leading Dress Drive Collecting gently used formal gowns, accessories for Cinderella’s Closet AUBURN — Miss DeKalb County Samantha Hunt is conducting a Dress Drive on Saturday, Nov. 30, from 8-11 a.m. at Auburn First Christian Church, 910 N. Indiana Ave., Auburn. The drive will collect gently used formal gowns
GKB SCHOOL LUNCH MENU The Train Stop Nov. 25-26 Monday — Tony’s sausage pizza, fresh mixed veggies with dip, fresh fruit, chocolate chip cookie and milk Tuesday — Peanut butter and jelly sandwich, vegetable beef soup, applesauce and milk Wednesday through Friday — No school, Happy Thanksgiving
and accessories to donate to Cinderella’s Closet. The mission of Cinderella’s Closet is to collect gowns and accessories throughout the year. High school junior and senior girls who are in financial need are referred to the Cinderella’s Closet program by their guidance counselors and social workers. Hunt said the girls come to an event where they are assigned a “fairy
godmother” and pick out a gown and accessories, free of charge. The motto for Cinderella’s Closet is “Turning Dresses into Dreams,” giving girls a chance to experience the thrill of going to a prom without worrying about spending hundreds of dollars on a dress. Donations should be age-appropriate and can include: • gently used or new gowns, less than three years old and in excellent
condition; • formal shoes and high heels; • formal jewelry and purses; and • monetary donations. Donations collected by Hunt will go to Cinderella’s Closet serving northern Kentucky and southeast Indiana. “As Miss DeKalb County, and as a fashion major at Ball State University, this is something I am very passionate about,” Hunt said.
Man killed in crash while fleeing police CHURUBUSCO — A one-car crash in rural Churubusco Tuesday afternoon killed a Churubusco man who was fleeing police, Indiana State Police said. Tristan Andrew Bender, 26, was transported by Samaritan helicopter to Parkview Regional Medical Center at Fort Wayne, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. Police said that at approximately 1:54 p.m., a
1989 Dodge Neon driven by Bender was traveling eastbound at a high rate of speed in the 6900 block of east County Road 150 N, just west of Johnson Road. Bender had been attempting to elude the Churubusco Town Marshal, who was pursuing him with his emergency equipment activated, police said. Bender’s vehicle traveled left of center and went off of the north side of the road, where it struck a tree
head-on. Bender, who was not wearing a seatbelt at the time, was ejected from his vehicle. The crash remains under investigation, and police said it is not yet known whether drugs or alcohol were involved. Assisting at the scene were the Whitley County Sheriff’s Department, Whitley County EMS and Churubusco Fire Department.

Another physician’s assistant at the Fayette Regional Health System, David M. Wulff, had been charged earlier with dealing in narcotics, dealing in controlled substances, forgery and acquiring controlled substances by fraud. “Overprescribing of powerful opiate painkillers across our state has contributed in part to the epidemic of prescription drug abuse in Indiana and fueled addiction at the expense of patients’ safety and health,” Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller said in a news release about the investigation.

Girls remain perfect Garrett defense too much for Cougars By Phil Friend pfriend@kpcmedia.com ALBION — On a night where Garrett struggled to make a shot outside of five feet, the Railroaders relied on their pressure defense to gain separation from Central Noble Tuesday night. Garrett forced 26 turnovers, 16 in the second half, and tallied 14 steals as the Railroaders defeated the host Cougars 53-28 in non-conference action in Albion. “Our defense turned it around,” said Garrett coach Bob Lapadot. “(Central Noble) did a good job scrapping. They’re a much improved team and we couldn’t make a shot, mostly because they were so physical we were looking to get hit and weren’t focused. “In the second half with our trap defense, we were able to get some lay-ups. That helped.” Of Garrett’s (3-0) 14 steals, 11 came in the second half when the Railroaders increased its half-court and full-court pressure. The Railroaders’ leading scorer, senior Brandi Dawson, was the driving force with six second-half steals — five in the fourth quarter. On three straight possessions in the final period, Dawson stole the ball and followed with a lay-up to push Garrett’s lead to 45-23 with 5:31 left in the game. “We … tried to work on that in practice, but it’s hard to simulate that,” said CN coach Lynford Yoder. “They’re a really physical team, a really athletic team that caused a lot of problems for us. “We had a lot of turnovers. That killed us, especially against a good team like that.” Dawson led the Railroaders with 24 points on 9 of 16 shooting. She also added five rebounds, four assists and a game-high seven steals. Outside of Dawson, Garrett struggled to make baskets. The remaining six players to attempt shots Tuesday night were a combined 13 of 46 (28 percent). As a whole, the Railroaders were 1 of 17 from 3-point land. Looking at those numbers

alone, it might be a surprise to see Garrett win comfortably by 25 points. “I kept looking at the scoreboard thinking we’ve got to have 50-60 points, and it’s 27-19,” Lapadot said. “And I’m thinking, man oh man. When you can win games different ways, that’s what makes you a good team. We were able to win offensively the first two games, and (Tuesday night) defense turned into offense and that was good to see.” For Garrett, Taylor Smith chipped in nine points and eight rebounds, Emily Somers had six points and eight rebounds, and Rachel Stafford had five points off the bench. Kaitlin Wisel had a balanced night with three points, five rebounds and five assists. Tiffany Simcox led Central Noble (0-2) with 10 points and seven rebounds, Jordan Askren scored six points off the bench, and Courtney Freeman had four rebounds. Garrett shot 30 more field goal attempts than the Cougars, 62-32. “We didn’t shoot the ball as well as we did in the first game,” Yoder said. “My goal for them was not to back down. I saw that through a lot of the game. We had a little spurt there at the end of the first half and that was pretty good. It got a little bit out of hand at the end of the game.” A basket by Drue Bodey with 2:40 left in the first half gave Garrett a 28-12 lead.

great effort but were hurt by cold shooting from the field and the free throw line. Micah Malcolm led scorers with nine, followed by Carter Back with four. Hayden Greene, Cole Kelham and Dillon McCann added three apiece; and Cameron Smith had two. The Locomotives travel to LaGrange Thursday to play Prairie Heights, to Emma on Saturday to face Westview and will host East Noble Monday.

Garrett’s Taylor Smith, center, looks for help as Central Noble’s Courtney Freeman, left, and Tricia VanGessel, right, close in during the second half of Tuesday’s non-conference meeting in Albion. But Central Noble held the Railroaders scoreless for the rest of the half and the first three minutes of the third quarter, using a 7-0 run to cut the Railroader advantage to 28-19. But Garrett’s defense was too much from there, embarking on a 23-4 run over the next eight minutes to lead 51-23 before both teams gave way to substitutes. Dawson scored 14 of her 24 points during the decisive run.
