Students return to class today GARRETT — Summer vacation has come to an end for Garrett-Keyser-Butler students who return to the classrooms today to a new, individualized learning concept. G-K-B is one of only three districts in the state being recognized for a new, cutting-edge, personalized learning initiative. “The concept takes a holistic view of the individual, skill levels, interests, strengths and challenges

and prior knowledge. The learner owns his or her learning,” said Tonya Weaver, director of administration and innovation at Garrett-Keyser-Butler. Learning is tailored to the individual needs of each learner instead of by age or grade level. “Traditionally, schools tend to teach to a one-size-fits-all model. This approach is the polar opposite, because each child has his or her own individual path

of learning,” Weaver said. “This changes the teacher role and the whole learning environment. School doesn’t look like traditional school anymore.” This approach is very data-driven and allows teachers to stay on the cutting edge of a child’s instruction. All students at J.E. Ober are working within the framework of the Personalized Learning Community. At the middle

school, 99 students working in the Locomotive Learning Community. At the high school, 65 students working in The Academy for Personalized Learning. “At Garrett, our learners are working with instructional coaches to plan their instruction based on the data from their individual learning continuums,” Weaver said.

County airport terminal rehabilitation completed By Aaron Organ aorgan@kpcmedia.com AUBURN — Soon after Russ Couchman received a go-ahead to see through a rehabilitation of the DeKalb County Airport’s bland terminal, a design team was brought in to learn what the manager had in mind. “Art deco and modern,” Couchman told the designers. More than four months of construction and $288,000 later, the vision has been realized. The airport’s terminal — with a hip vibe in a clean layout stocked with smart technology — officially opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday/ The public was invited to an open house at the airport Saturday, where residents could view the fresh terminal and enjoy other activities. The terminal rehabilitation was a long time coming. Couchman pressed for rejuvenation of the 1996-built terminal more than five years ago, but the project was derailed continually as

An area to do dishes or make meals is available. A full bathroom with a washer and dryer is available for pilots and crews.

The airport blew out two offices to make way for a grand fixed-base operator counter, where airport operations and customer service are conducted. Behind the counter are two large, flat-screen televisions showing state-of-the-art, real-time flight tracking on one and live weather data on the other. That critical information is carried throughout the airport, with crews able to access it in a dedicated flight planning center with computers and a printer just off the main hall, or from a 70-inch, wall-mounted flat-screen television inside the pilot lounge that features a row of recliners and on-demand viewing options.

Butler man gets 15 years for conspiracy to make meth BY KATHRYN BASSETT kbassett@kpcmedia.com AUBURN — A Butler man with a lengthy criminal history was sentenced Friday to 15 years in prison for conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine. Carl Evanoff, of the 100 block of East Main Street, pleaded guilty to the Class B felony as part of a plea agreement. Judge Kevin Wallace handed down the sentence during a hearing in DeKalb Superior Court I. Evanoff said he has been incarcerated at the DeKalb County Jail for about a year while his case has been pending. During that time, his attitude has changed for he better, he said. Evanoff said he wants to participate in substanceabuse rehabilitation programs while he is at the Indiana Department of Correction. Pastor Steve Eyers testified he has been meeting with Evanoff for about six months and that he believes Evanoff is sincere in his desire to become involved in programs while in prison. “He realizes he has a weakness and is looking for assistance,” Eyers said. Evanoff’s attorney, Robert Hardy, noted a presentence report prepared by the DeKalb County Probation Department

recommends a sentence of 15 years with up to three years suspended. Hardy argued a 12-year sentence with two years suspended would be more appropriate. DeKalb County chief deputy prosecutor Donald P. Shively recommended a 20-year sentence with 10 years suspended and 10 years of probation. Evanoff said he liked Shively’s recommendation, “Probation will hold me accountable,” Evanoff said. “I’m still willing to do my time and be held accountable when I get out.” But Wallace settled on a 15-year prison term with no probation afterward. Wallace said Evanoff has been charged with criminal offenses in 25 separate instances and has 13 prior misdemeanor and eight prior felony convictions. Evanoff has violated probation and parole rules on multiple occasions, Wallace added. Evanoff purchased ephedrine four times between Oct. 11, 2010, and April 14, 2011, while he was on parole and, after going off parole, made 25 ephedrine purchases from April 2011 until his arrest in August 2012, Wallace noted. Wallace agreed that Evanoff does well when he has the structure of prison or jail, but has not done well when he is outside of that structure.

AUBURN — Working closely with a company specializing in technology products for sufferers of aphasia, DeKalb Health has helped a local patient significantly increase his quality of life by increasing his ability to communicate, a news release said. Mark Brittian has suffered from aphasia — a communication disorder that affects a person’s ability to process and use language — for more than 30 years. He recently moved to Wesley Park Apartments in Auburn. Thanks to the hospital’s close proximity, hospital personnel are able to serve the health care needs of the complex’s residents by working closely with Laura Smart, Wesley Park’s community services coordinator. Brittian, who has an extremely limited vocabulary of 20-25 words, depended heavily on a communication device provided to him through Medicare. However, the device he had was more than 30 years old, extremely heavy and difficult to carry, and recently stopped working altogether. Brittian’s speech therapist at DeKalb Health reached out to Lingraphica, an American company developing technology products for people with aphasia. DeKalb Health secured a two-week trial for Brittian with the TouchTalk, an ultra-thin, lightweight, 10-inch tablet. The completely customizable device enables aphasic patients to communicate conveniently on the go and includes all pertinent and important personal information for patients. “Mark loves this product. He has been very happy with it,” said Amy Woodcox, Brittian’s speech therapist at DeKalb Health. “It has allowed him to retain his

The whole experience has been great for Mark to see what’s possible with today’s technology.” The TouchTalk offers Brittian and fellow aphasic patients a wide range of capabilities and features, including: • extensive vocabulary of icons that help the user easily find and build phrases to say; • type-and-talk functionality; • cameras for adding pictures of a user’s favorite people and other items; • practice videos, therapy exercises,

Members of the DeKalb County Airport Authority Board, from left, George Wappes, Brad Hartz, Brad Moore and president Brad Stump, cut a ribbon Friday evening to officially open the airport’s redesigned terminal. Stump told a small crowd of family, friends and airport supporters that the airport has an economic impact of $220 million on the region, and “first impressions and functionality are critical.” The airport will hold an open house for the public to view the terminal today from 8 a.m. through 2 p.m.

Council orders crackdown on city speeders in 1963 50 years ago The Garrett City Council, at its August 1963 meeting, instructed police chief Chet Bartels to conduct an immediate and severe crackdown LOOKING on all traffic BACK violations, Stories from especially The Garrett speeding and muffler Clipper violations. archives Bartels was also authorized to obtain any necessary assistance, including the county and state police to proceed with the enforcement. The action came after numerous complaints were received from local citizens of violations. Bartels pointed out that with only one patrol car, it was impossible to apprehend all violators. Garrett city employees were granted pay increases effective January 1964. The raises were recommended by Mayor Fred Feick and approved by the city council. Most employees were given a $5 per month increase, with department heads and certain categories in the utilities departments receiving up to $15 per month raises. Total annual cost to the city would be $2,500, with $1,500 of that amount from the general fund and the

balance included in the 1963 budget that called for no increase in the city tax rate. Utility employees were paid directly from utility funds. A touchy railroad work rules dispute was dumped back on the lap of a reluctant U.S. Congress. Collective bargaining talks between the labor union and rail negotiators collapsed, indicating the Congress would need to step into the situation. Both sides accused the other of failing to bargain realistically. The Garrett High School Class of 1933 held its first reunion at Platner’s Steak House with 64 graduates in attendance. John McDermott of San Bernadino, Calif. came the farthest to attend the event. Floyd’s Place offered homemade pizza at its location at 104 N. Peters St. Cost for a large deluxe pizza was advertised at $3.25 with carryout service offered. The movie, “Hud” starring Paul Newman and Patricia Neal was featured at the Hi-Vue Drive-In north of Avilla.

25 years ago Brent Burniston was presented the Harry M. Mitchell Outstanding 12-year-old boys baseball award in August 1988, He played pitcher, catcher and infielder for the Hixson Auction Team which finished second best overall

with a 10-4 record and runner-up in tournament play. Eight lettermen would return on the Railroader cross country team, according to 10-year coach Bob Novy. Senior letterman were Tim Delauder and Scott Lilly. Junior lettermen Eric Baker, Anthony Marchelletta, Dino Marti and Kalvin McBride, and sophomores Matt Likes and Chris Lilly also returned for the thinlyclads. A heavy thunderstorm in mid-month downed a tree at Mike Zumbaugh’s home in the 100 block of East Keyser St. causing extensive damage to his car. The Railroaders debuted their 1988 team at a jamboree on Boomershine Field in Angola. Garrett and Angola teams combined to make up the host team, while DeKalb and East Noble were the visitors. Railroader head coach Rick Kirkton remarked sophomore quarterback Jim Gamble was getting more comfortable running offense and throwing the ball better. The Garrett Merchants Association recognized Randy and Chris Thomas for their support and hard work during Heritage Days 1988. President Bill Sobieski and Garrett Days Chairman Barry Bolinger presented them with a plaque and gift certificate for their efforts.
