Students shine in IREAD3 testing By staff reports DeKalb County school districts are celebrating the performance of students and teachers in achieving superior results on this year’s IREAD3 tests. Results announced this week showed the Garrett-Keyser-Butler School District achieved a 92.6 percent passing rate on the reading test for third-graders. The state average was 91.1 percent. Superintendent Dennis Stockdale attributed his district’s pass rate to personalized learning. “I just think we are seeing

significant improvement in the growth of students by utilizing personalized learning,” Stockdale said. “It just shows that our commitment to personalized learning is working and that our staff is doing a tremendous job in getting students prepared.” Personalized learning tailors learning to the individual needs of each student. Students achieved 100 percent proficiency at both private schools in the county, Lakewood Park Christian School and St. Joseph School in Garrett.
At St. Joseph Catholic School, the school’s overall ISTEP scores were the highest in DeKalb County last year, and every third-grader passed IREAD3 for the second consecutive year. The school makes time for prayer and religious instruction during a typical week. “We’re here to prepare these kids for eternity,” St. Joseph Principal Kristine Call said. “I’m glad we do well on ISTEP, but the most important thing to me is eternity.” DeKalb Central school district
achieved a 97.4 percent. “We are very pleased with our students’ performance. I think our students’ success is reflective of strong classroom instruction, the strength of our literacy framework, the focus or priority we place on literacy instruction and professional development as well as the commitment our staff members, teachers and administrators give to ensuring our students’ learning needs are being met each and every day,” said DeKalb Central Assistant Superintendent Lynn Simmers.

Medical chopper makes emergency landing ARI — A medical helicopter made an emergency landing in a bean field on the Noble County side of the Noble-Allen county line shortly before 11 a.m. Friday. The pilot of the helicopter out of South Bend advised there was a strong odor of something burning in the cockpit so it was necessary to set down, said Noble County Emergency Management Agency executive director Michael Newton. The pilot made an emergency landing on C.R. 600S near S.R. 205. No one was injured in the landing. A patient on board the helicopter was transferred to an ambulance and taken to a Fort Wayne hospital, Newton said. The LaOtto Fire Department was first on the scene and stood by while the transfer was made. Names of the patient and crew were not released. No fire was found after the landing, Newton said.

GARRETT —Three Garrett High School alumni from the 1950s will be inducted into the school’s Distinguished Alumni Hall of Honor during homecoming festivities Friday, Sept. 13. Each will be recognized for his or her accomplishments in the academic and business world during events at the school on Friday, Sept. 13. Nominees are Dr. Shirley (Dickison) Phillips and John W. Green, PhD, both from Leech the Class of 1953; and Tom Leech from the Class of 1954. Leech, an author, coach and poet, is the third child of John and Catherine Leech. He was raised on S. Cowen Street and has high praise for the experience of growing up in Garrett and attending Will Franks Grade School and Garrett High School. His early experiences were as a paper boy on the Randolph Street route, hardware store worker-bee, and Garrett pool splasher helped shape his business and communication skills. These specialties led to teaching at several universities, and then starting his consulting-speaking business. As an author and journalist, he’s written books and articles on business, world travel, and nature, one of his major interests and concerns. Leech received his BS in Aeronautical Engineering from Purdue in June 1959. He then took a job with General Dynamics in San Diego, and has lived there since. In 1970 he received his MS in Management Hall of Honor, Page 4
Coffee shop pours blessing in community By Sue Carpenter scarpenter@kpcmedia.com GARRETT — There won’t be a ribbon cutting for the grand opening of a new coffee shop in downtown Garrett this week. “God cut that ribbon in heaven a long time ago,” said Brother Bud Owen about the Cup a Blessing, part of the Corner Haven outreach mission of the First Church of Christ. “The Cup of Blessing is all about giving God the glory,” he said of the unlikely — or perhaps God-likely — circumstances that made Corner Haven a reality. The church originally looked at the former Ort’s Jewelry Store location at 131 S. Randolph St. to add space for a youth program. Most recently the site is was used as a church for another congregation. “We were just looking for a place for kids, but it was way too much,” he said of the $70,000 cost and the huge amount of space. Each time he and Jerry Weller, worship and pastoral minister at the church passed by the site, Owen said he had the feeling they were not done with the building — but couldn’t put his finger on it. After three years in the pulpit, Owen felt something was missing and began to question his purpose at the Garrett church where members were taking ownership about community impact. He phoned his dad, Pastor
Larry Owens in Kentucky and asked him for guidance. Larry Owen told him he believed were more challenges out there for the church. During a short vacation, Owen took along the book, “The Circle Maker” in which he ran across the passage where Christ fed the multitude with the fishes and loaves. Christ instructed the disciples to pick up the broken pieces left on the ground to feed many more so none would remain lost. “That was the challenge — we are going to go pick up the broken pieces,” he said. Suddenly that building came to mind and the idea to add a coffee shop in front to provide the needs of the community — like paying utility bills or car repairs. Another portion of the building could be used to feed the needy in the community — such as a roundtable church. The building could also provide enough space for Gina’s Clothing Closet run by Gina Walker from the church. But the for sale sign is gone when he returned from vacation. “I was sick to my stomach, couldn’t sleep for two days wondering why this was happening,” he said. It was a holiday weekend so he set a goal to find Realtor Jodi Kleeman to ask about the property — and to pump up a low tire on

While there, he turned around and there was Kleeman fueling her car. “I said ‘Thank you, Lord,’” he said. She told him the bank now had the property and revealed the price had been reduced to about $42,000. In the meantime, Weller
realized all of his daily devotions were dealing with reaching out to people, believing in God more than yourself. Weller and Owen asked the bank to borrow a key for the building — and hadn’t even gotten to the business part yet. The pair Coffee, Page 4

and educational environment focused on students. It truly takes everyone to achieve this type of success.� DeKalb Eastern schools achieved a 92.9 pass rate. One of its elementary schools, Riverdale, fell slightly below the state average of 91.1 percent. The other, Butler, had a pass rate of 93.8. Superintendent Dr. Jeff Stephens said the district offers remediation for students who do not pass the state test, and they are re-tested at year’s end. The program has led to the district ultimately passing 100 percent since the state required the test.

Coffee from Page 1 went there daily claiming the territory for God. They went back to the bank to share their vision, and lay all on the line. A couple days later, got a call back from the bank telling them they believed in what the church wanted to do, and asked if $25,000 would be a price they could afford. And then Owen and Weller cried again. “We were still praying, and Jerry and I shared our vision with the elders of the church,� he said. The meeting was held before they learned of the price reduction. “We definitely think this is a God thing — not a (Brother) Bud thing,� the elders told them. Owen sat on a stool and shared the mission with the congregation, told them about the circumstances up to that point, including the lower price. That Sunday afternoon, two more miracles happened — the first was an anonymous church member offering to buy the building if the congregation should vote in favor of the project. The second affirmation was when church member Roger Farney phoned to say his mother, Carol, had the same dream of making a coffee and gift shop in the same location a few years earlier, but the timing was not right. Carol was retired from her business, and the thought of running the coffee shop was rekindled. “Carol had it all planned, the colors, God had already given it to her — it far exceeded my vision. “She is getting her coffee shop but now it’s the Lord’s,� Owen said. “I could not understand why I had been given such a strong vision of what this business could be in every detail with so much research and time.� Farney said. “Now, three years later, I see that God gave me this vision ‘for a time such as this’ as well as the desire of my heart to serve Him and help those in need.� The congregation gave its blessing and donated all of the items used in the business. Jim Molargik, who attends another church, offered to craft and donate the wooden serving counter. Different church members bought chairs and tables. Volunteers totally run the coffee shop, and the other outreach missions. Farney has added gift items, jewelry and cards as well as coffees, teas, and desserts.

Several gifts items including scarves, jewelry, china and food items are offered at the Cup of Blessing.
“We now have 40 missionaries out in the community,� Owen said of the volunteers. Farney, Weller and Owen work together in every aspect of the business and all must agree when decisions are made, Farney said. Some profits used to support the Community Care Food Pantry and St. Martin’s Soup Kitchen to help the entire community. “When you buy a cup of coffee you provide a blessing to someone else,� he said of Cup of Blessing. “The hard part of being a missionary is not going all over the world, but getting across the street.� Owen said. “It’s about hurting and helpless. “There’s no way to change lives unless you get involved.�

BY BOB BUTTGEN bbuttgen@kpcmedia.com LIGONIER — Garrett’s football team acted like a well-oiled machine for most of the night as the Railroaders held off West Noble for a hard-fought 26-12 victory Friday night in Ligonier. The Railroaders’ offense clicked when it needed to, and more importantly the Garrett defense shut down the Charger offense for all but a few minutes in the second half. Garrett converted two turnovers into touchdowns to lead 13-0 at the end of the first quarter. Garrett’s defense made several big stops on the night to keep the Chargers in check. “Jumping out quickly like we did sure did help,” said Garrett coach Chris DePew after the game. “And we made some big plays when we had to, on both sides of the ball.” The Railroaders intercepted West Noble quarterback Landon Stover five times. The first pick came on the second play of the game when Noah Follett picked off a pass to give his team the ball on the Garrett 42-yard line. 12 plays later, Follett hit Bo Wilson on an 18-yard touchdown pass. On the kickoff, Garrett squibbed the ball toward the sideline and the Chargers were unable to get a handle on it, allowing the Railroaders to take possession at the West Noble 28. Four plays later, Bryit Sumner ran into the endzone from 28 yards out for a 13-0 score. Garrett’s point-after kick was blocked. In the second quarter.

ball on the Garrett 18-yard line. The Railroaders wasted no time in moving the ball downfield and scored on a 25-yard keeper by Follett with 5:13 on the clock. The Chargers stopped Garrett’s point-after run for a 19-0 score at halftime. West Noble scored the next two touchdowns to prevent the game from becoming a rout. The first scoring drive was highlighted by a 45-yard run by Payton Shrock that put the ball at the Garrett five-yard line. Three plays later, Stover rushed in for a three-yard touchdown. The point-after pass attempt fell short. In the fourth quarter, the Chargers mounted another
nice drive that ended with Shrock catching a 33-yard pass from Stover for a touchdown with 5:16 on the clock. The PAT kick was no good, leaving the score at 19-12. Garrett only punted once in the game and that was on the next drive, and helped set up the Chargers for what could have been a drive to tie the score late in the game. But Garrett’s Dustin Underwood picked off another Stover pass to end the Chargers’ drive with 1:45 on the clock. Garrett’s Sumner scored a late TD on a 10-yard run for the final score of 26-12. West Noble ran 43 offensive plays for 275 net
yards while the Railroaders had 65 plays for 316 yards. Follett was 11 of 20 for 114 yards in the air while Stover was 6 of 16 for 100 passing yards. “I give West Noble a lot of credit,” DePew said. “They did a good job of hanging in there. Our failure was in not finishing the job when we should have. We were able to take away their (West Noble) best offensive play. But we both play the same style of tough football.” DePew said that his team 2-1 record “is something to be proud of.” Garrett is home against Adams Central Friday for homecoming night.
