GARRETT — The Garrett Common Council Tuesday passed on fi rst readings budget ordinances for both the Garrett Public Library appropriations and tax rates, and the civil city budget.

Both votes were taken following two separate public hearings where no one spoke in favor or against the measures, each lasting less than two minutes.

The city budget calls for a maximum $1,673,000 tax levy

with an estimated $297,675 maximum tax levy for the fi re territory. The Garrett Public Library budget shows an estimated $482,579 tax levy. Both measures will be brought back to the council for adoption on Oct. 15.

Councilman Brad Stump thanked everyone for putting in a lot of work and a lot of time on the city budget.

A uniform worksheet implemented this year made the budgets come in a more workable form, he said.

“It was an overall team effort,” Stump said.

Mayor Tonya Hoeffel read a report from city planner Milton Otero in which he detailed three more residents have entered into the city’s 50/50 sidewalk replace-

ment plan totaling $4,885 in costs for the city.

Otero’s report also shared a development plan has been received for a new Dollar General Store in the 1300 block of South Randolph St., just north of the current building it rents in Garrett Plaza. Plans will be revealed at the plan commission meeting on Oct. 22.

Capt. Adam Sheffi eld submitted a September activity report for the Garrett Police Department. The report shows 358 total calls, 18 tickets, 52 traffi c warnings, one code violation, 13 arrests, 11 property damage accidents and three personal injury accidents including one fatal accident.

The board also approved budget transfers for the police department

to fund training; purchase of Class A uniforms, a used, equipped Crown Victoria squad car and a car video system; upgrades to the video surveillance system at City Hall, the police department and Westside Park; purchase of a radar speed sign; and a canopy for the back door of the police department totaling $26,455,16.

The council also approved budget transfers for the parks department to pay for part-time wages, insurance and training in the amount of $11,562.53.

The council gave its unanimous approval to a post issuance tax compliance policy for the city wastewater improvement project.

CEREMONY MARKS START OF LIBRARY PROJECT

GARRETT — The actual groundbreaking was “makeshift” but the spirits were genuine during a ceremony Saturday for a 6,500 square-foot expansion of the Garrett Public Library.

Pending rain moved the supporters to the upper level inside the library to mark the occasion.

“We are very, very excited about the upcoming days and months of our library expansion here,” said board president Bob Novy in welcoming a large crowd.

Novy recognized fellow board members, library staff, the Friends of the Library, city offi cials, contractor Mike Ley from Signature Construction, Jack Krouse from Construc-tion Control Inc., architect

Tim Terman from Design Collaborative, several subcontractors and library director Cate Birdseye.

“(Birdseye) has just worked endlessly on this project and we are very proud of her leadership,” Novy said.

Novy also named donors for the project, including the Judith Clark Morrill Foundation, Rosa and Jerry Moreland who donated a home that was on the property, Steel Dynamics Inc., C. Henry Steel, M & S Steel, Bill and Ethel Yoder and Garrett State Bank.

Novy introduced “four special people who are the face of the Garrett Public Library. It all comes down to our users.

“We all have the mission, as a board and the library staff, that it is all about the people who use the library.

We have four people who use the library in different ways — probably different from each other,” he said.

Pat Stalter, Eric Hathaway, Madison Greene and Terry Gardt held ceremonial shovels in front of the crowd, chosen for the diverse ways they use the library, including computer skills, home improvement research, magazines and books, among many others.

“Every single person in this room and this ground-breaking has been part of this process — and we thank each and every one of you for this community,” Birdseye said.

Ley said dramatic changes will be evident soon for the $1.9 million project, most of which will be funded through a $1.4

GARRETT — There are no unwanted children — just unfound homes.

ResCare Youth Services, formerly Children’s Sanctuary, provides youth care for children in a seven-county area with serious emotional problems, moderate to serious behaviors, physically and mentally challenged youth, medically fragile and those who are diffi cult to place due to numerous moves.

ResCare is currently undergoing a huge recruitment effort and will be sharing information during a meeting from 6-8 p.m. on

Wednesday, Oct. 17 at the Judy A. Morrill Recreation Center in Garrett.

Program director Millie McDonald is looking for families to provide short-term foster care for youth in the local area.

“ResCare and the DeKalb County Department of Children’s Services desire to keep the youth in their home school, and close to what is most familiar to them overall,” said McDonald.

“We want them to continue to have the most normalcy as possible in an abnormal situation. The youth are removed from their biological homes, typically due to no fault of their own but rather due to abuse or neglect,” she added.

There is an immediate need for homes in DeKalb County, including the Garrett, Waterloo, Butler, Ashley and Auburn areas, according to McDonald.

In order to become a foster parent, a person must be at least 21 years old, go through two background checks, complete specialized training, pass a physical examination, be willing to work cooperatively with other profes-sionals such as counselors and physicians, have patience to work with challenging youth and have an environmentally safe home.

“This is a huge commitment,” McDonald said.

Foster parents are open to some fi nancial support from local and stage agencies.

Although the program provides service for newborns to 23 years old in DeKalb and Allen counties, the average age is from 9-18 years.

Those interested but unable to attend the meeting can phone McDonald or Mari-Lyn Yoder at 260-485-0870 for more information.

BY OCTAVIA LEHMANolehman@kpcnews.netAUBURN — The 32nd

annual RSVP Quilt Show will feature specialty quilts from the collection of Lina Zerkle.

Zerkle, of Waterloo, will share her themed collec-tion, “Faces, Figures and Critters.”

The show is Friday, Oct. 25, and Saturday, Oct. 26, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Auburn, where it started more than 30 years ago.

Many of the quilts in the collection are interpretations of famous people. She plans to show a piece of Albert Einstein, as well as one of her own self-portraits.

She is currently working on a quilt with the image of Rosie the Riveter, but is unsure if it will be done in time for the show.

“I usually work on two or three (quilts) at a time,” Zerkle said.

Zerkle does not use patterns when making her quilts, but individually designs them, working from a photograph or sketch.

“It’s all improvised,” Zerkle said, of her quilts. “I work from an art approach, rather than perfect piecing.”

Currently, Zerkle has a quilt on display at the

Elkhart Visitors Bureau and pieces from her fi ber arts collection at the Garrett Museum of Art.

Zerkle was commis-sioned to make a quilt for Fort Wayne’s sister city, Plock, Poland.

A longtime resident of DeKalb County, Zerkle

attended Ball State University in 1963 for her Bachelor’s degree in art education. She spent several years teaching art in public school before attending Indiana University to complete a Master of Fine Arts degree in ceramics and sculpture.

Zerkle devoted much of her time to making pottery, until 1988 when she gave away all of her equipment and turned her studio into a sewing, quilting and art making area.

She estimates she has made more than 100 quilts.

The fi rst quilt she made was from paisley pant scraps she received from her mother-in-law.

Zerkle said she likes working with her “own ideas and designs,” and many of her quilts are made from scraps she collects.

“I like multicolored designs,” Zerkle said. “I like to recycle.”

Admission to the show is $7 per person. Vendors will be on site and a raffl e quilt made from last year’s quilt block contest will be sold.

The Retired Senior Volunteer Program serves DeKalb, Noble and Steuben and LaGrange counties.

For more information, call Shirley Johnson of RSVP at 925-0917.

‘Faces, Figures and Critters’ to be displayed

Lina Zerkle, right, and her husband, Dwight, display two quilts that will be a part of the RSVP Quilt Show Oct. 25-26 at the Immaculate Conception Church in Auburn. Zerkle is the featured artist for the 32nd annual show.

AUBURN — Learning Link, an education initiative of Community Foundation DeKalb County, is inviting community members countywide to its community meeting, Monday, Oct. 14, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at First United Methodist Church, 1203 E. Seventh St., Auburn.

Semi-annual meetings move to different communi-ties to ensure countywide input. Anyone with an interest in DeKalb County education levels is encour-aged to attend.

Learning Link DeKalb County is a framework upon which community members and organizations across sectors can contribute to achieving the community’s vision of working together

through continuous learning to improve the quality of life for all.

“Our education levels are not just a school issue, but a community issue,” said Judy Sorg, director of the initiative.

“Learning Link’s success requires a diverse group of community organizations working together, not by asking every participant to do the same thing, but by encouraging each participant to undertake the activities at which it excels. The power then comes from the coordi-nation of these activities that reinforce each other and support the common goal,” she added.

Creating a culture of lifelong learning to raise education levels at all ages is

Learning Link’s broad goal. Three areas, led by volunteer action teams, are addressed — early childhood learning, kindergarten-to-12th grade education and adult learning. The purpose of the Oct. 14 working dinner meeting is to share the successes and challenges within each of the focus areas and seek input from community members.

“Learning Link has achieved more than many thought possible,” said Jeff Burns, Learning Link steering committee chair. “It just shows that when various individuals and groups work together, they can achieve more than when they work alone.”

“The community

foundation is convinced that education is the key to improving life for everyone in DeKalb County,” said Wendy Oberlin, executive director of the community foundation. “We encourage like-minded individuals to join us at the Oct. 14 meeting to hear about the work of our action teams and share their thoughts on moving the work forward.”

Learning Link plans community meeting

50 years agoMarilee Hughes was

crowned Miss DeKalb County at the 1963 Free Fall Fair. Contestants were judged in divisions such as swimsuit, grooming and poise, personality, conversa-tion and talent. Hughes was named Miss Garrett during Sidewalk Day festivities in August.

The Railroaders romped over Bluffton 33-0 in an NEIAC match on the Garrett fi eld. The victory left the Big Train and New Haven as the only undefeated teams in the conference. George Hathaway scored two touchdowns and passed for another; Larry Warstler added a TD and three PATs; while Buzz Steward and Keith Bunn picked up two more goals.

Lynn Harlan of LaOtto won the 1963 city golf championship by defeating Roger Gordon 3-2 in a 36-hole fi nal over the weekend. Harlan also won the championship in 1956. Beryl Lewis won the title in 1962, with Gordon again placing second.

A ruling by the Indiana Supreme Court declaring sales tax constitutional resulted in a reduction of the tax rate for Garrett-Keyser-Butler Schools, which had been set at $7.12 per $100

in property value. Had the sales tax gone into effect in July, the local school tax rate would have been $3.50, or 50 percent lower, according to Supt. Charles Puff. The school would need to re-fi gure its budget to determine the exact amount of reduction.

A Garrett man repeated as the oldest settler at the DeKalb County Free Fall Fair. Ed Runion, 96, of rural Garrett won the distinction

the previous two years. He was born Jan. 17, 1867. Mable Erick, 89, of Spencer-ville was the oldest woman settler

present at the event.Receipts from the annual

4-H livestock auction totaled a record $23,220 in September 1963. Beef receipts totaled $14,623, swine at $6,236, and lambs at $2,361. More than 250 business fi rms, industries, civic groups and individ-uals paid support to the 4-H auction.

Clark and Company Food Market advertised hamburger at three pounds for $1. Ort’s Furniture offered Motorola console televi-

sions with a 23-inch screen starting at $259 with trade-in.

25 years agoSeven-year-old Alicia

Molargik was chosen to handle Mr. J.J., a registered white Arabian horse owned by a Fort Wayne family at all Indianapolis Colts football games for the 1988 season. Alicia was dressed as a Colt cheerleader as she led the Colts’ mascot onto the fi eld and at parades.

Jennifer Thrush’s Hampshire gilt was judged grand champion gilt and champion Hampshire gilt at the 4-H fair. Brent Weller’s lamp was judged champion Suffolk ewe lamb, champion Suffolk ewe and supreme champion overall ewe in the open class.

Third-grade teacher Reba Sliger dressed as a cowboy to promote the J.E. Ober Reading Round-Up. The week included guest readers and encouraged parents reading with their children at home. The school was one of 12 Indiana sites to receive a $6,000 grant to be a part of the REAP (Reading Excite-ment and Paperbacks) to demonstrate reading is fun.

Jamie Witherspoon of Garrett was named Miss Congeniality at the 1988 Miss DeKalb County

pageant. DeKalb High School student Tanessa Burnett was named Miss DeKalb County.

Susan Bayh, wife of Indiana Democrat guberna-torial candidate Evan Bayh, stopped in Garrett during a campaign swing.

Altona residents were allowed to return home after a 12-hour evacuation due to a chemical leak on a tank car on the tracks near their homes. CSX Railroad switching crews discov-ered the leak and contacted rescue teams. A crew from Shell Oil began siphoning the naphtha petroleum cleaning solvent from the leaking tank into a transfer car. Garrett fi refi ghters estimated the solvent was leaking at a rate of six to seven gallons per hour from a ruptured seam.

Several neighbors and businessmen were allowed to “take out their frustra-tions” by throwing bricks through the windows of three downtown buildings scheduled for demolition in the 100 block of North Randolph Street.

Light poles draw disapproval

Wooden poles erected by the city in a new subdivision in Garrett earlier in the day drew disapproval from one of the lot owners.

Patrick Sparkman of the 100 block of South Cowen St. plans to build a home on Lakeside Place in the new Countryside Estates development on the southeast edge of town.

Sparkman told council members the poles placed in front of the homes and cul-de-sacs “look really cheap, to be honest with you.

“If we are going to have that kind of poles placed in front of our homes we paid a lot of money for, I would rather not have anything,” Sparkman said.

Brinkerhoff responded he was not part of the plan process, and suggested the matter be referred back to the planning department “to chase down the question and chase down the answer. It doesn’t sound like what I remember the plan included for street lighting,” Brinker-hoff added, “but I don’t

want to say that because I was not part of the planning process.”

One council member suggested the poles were set up for a temporary power feed, but Sparkman said he was led to believe the poles were for security lighting after speaking with workers on the site.

Developer Curt Custer and Otero would be meeting later in the week to discuss the matter. Hoeffel assured Sparkman she would follow up on the matter.

Sparkman praised Custer for working hard to make the (subdivision) look nice.

“Those poles just make the place look tacky,” Sparkman said.

Hoeffel reminded the council of Sunday’s Caboose Festival at the Garrett Heritage Park just north of the Herb Kleeman Underpass.

She also reported the city park department will show a Halloween movie, “Hotel Transylvania” in Eastside Park on Saturday, Oct. 26. The event is free and refreshments will be served.

million bond issue.Memorial bricks on the

south side of the building where the expansion will be have been temporarily removed, but will be re-installed as part of the project, he said. Plans are for a late summer comple-tion.

The group gathered on the south side of the library for a quick photo, just minutes before a cloudburst opened up on the site.

Churubusco Public Library director Rachel Eyermann offered several bagpipe selections for the occasion in honor of Andrew Carnegie’s Scottish heritage. She is a member

of the Fort Wayne Scottish Pipes and Drums.

“I’m sure as I listen to the bagpipe music here, that if Andrew Carnegie were around today, he would be very proud of our ambition and what we are planning to do in the future,” Novy said.

SINKING STREET

A concrete mixing truck sank through the street surface on East Keyser St. last week. The Erie Haven truck was parked on the north side of the street to deliver concrete for a sidewalk repair project for the First Church of Christ. The truck’s wheels dropped about two feet below the street surface where a steam tunnel once ran, according to a city offi cial at the scene. Street department workers fi lled in the hole later in the day.

WEATHER INFORMATION PROVIDED BY NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OF NORTHERN INDIANA

By Aaron Organaorgan@kpcmedia.comBERNE – Garrett coach

Chris DePew’s decision this week to install the spread offense apparently was a wise one.

The Railroaders put up nearly 500 yards of total offense and punted just once, as quarterback Noah Follett threw for fi ve touchdowns – three to wideout Ryan VandeZande – and ran for another in a powerful road win over South Adams, 49-28.

“We switched it quite up a bit this week and went back to the spread offense, decided it was time to use our better assets, our quarterback and receivers, being as beat up up front as we were, and we had a good result,” said DePew. “I’m pretty happy with really the whole team’s play.”

DePew said the decision to switch to the spread offense was made on the way home last week from the Woodlan game, in which his team was handled by the Warriors. DePew said his team did not watch any fi lm from the game and instead “got right to work on South

Adams.”The Starfi res paid the

price.Follett fi nished 22 for

30 passing for 361 yards and fi ve touchdowns. Three receivers had more than 100 yards passing, led by VandeZande’s 124 yards. Dustin Underwood caught seven balls for 106 yards and Cole Wilson added 104 yards on four catches, two for touchdowns.

It took Garrett four plays to fi nd the end zone after recovering an onside kick to open the game. Follett hit VandeZande on a 7-yard pass 20 seconds in to jump on the Starfi res.

South Adams responded on its ensuing series when Derek Wanner hit Isaiah Amstutz for a 26-yard score four minutes later.

The Railroaders hit back three minutes later with a Follett-to-Wilson connection for 29 yards. On Garrett’s next possession, Follett scrambled left from fi ve yards out for another score.

After a Drew LeFever rushing touchdown for the Starfi res, Follett hit VandeZande on an 18-yard

strike-for-touchdown late in the second quarter.

Garrett opened the third quarter with a Follett-to-Wilson 21-yard touchdown, and after Derek Wanner answered for South Adams with a 12-yard scoring run, Follett hit VandeZande from fi ve yards out for the pair’s third scoring connection.

Bryit Sumner scored on a 5-yard run to end the scoring for the Railroaders.

DePew praised Follett’s performance, saying the senior’s commitment to picking up the new scheme through practice this week and helping to school his teammates was key in engineering a successful offensive game against South Adams.

“The offense moved pretty well tonight, and that’s on the quarterback,” said DePew. “Noah played a good game. We put a lot of extra time in this week to make sure the offense was sharp.”

South Adams was led by Wanner’s 6-for-13 and two touchdown-passing perfor-mance. Wanner ran for another score.

AUBURN — The Auburn Kiwanis Club will begin sales of its holiday loaf Nov. 1, said Eugene Fuhrer, Children First board member and chair of the annual fundraiser.

The fi rst loaves will come out of the oven Thursday, Oct. 31, at about 9:30 p.m. Members anticipate baking 5,000 loaves the fi rst weekend with another 3,000 the second. Loaves will be on sale for $4 apiece beginning Nov. 1 at the Auburn Presbyterian Church at the corner of Twelfth and Jackson streets in Auburn.

Auburn Kiwanis has partnered with Children First for more than 40 years to prepare, bake and sell holiday loaf, with the proceeds donated by the Auburn Kiwanis to Children First.

“On behalf of the Auburn Kiwanis Club, I would like to extend to you an invitation to try Holiday Loaf,” said Fuhrer. “For 42 years, the Auburn Kiwanis have had

the privilege of baking this holiday favorite. Perhaps the best part, second only to holiday loaf itself, is that the funds raised by this event go back into our own local communities by supporting Children First.

“A successful event is dependent upon everyone in northeast Indiana supporting this once-a-year treat with their kind purchases of Holiday Loaf. We are truly blessed that we live in such generous communities,” he added.

Children First operates in fi ve counties of northeast Indiana: DeKalb, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben and Whitley.

“At its core, Children First is dedicated to helping families and children grow and develop to their fullest potential through available resources, referrals, education and proactive programming,” said executive director Pat Zakula. “Our mission is to help children become all they can possibly be. Please be assured that supporting us is raising your voice for healthier kids, happier families and stronger

communities.”Proceeds from the annual

holiday loaf sale help fund programs at Children First. All programs are based on the premise that all parents want the best for their children and the organization seeks to partner with parents to help children thrive in school and in their communi-ties.

Children First has a wealth of resources, expertise, knowledge and materials that are of value to everyone who has children, the organization said. It is Children First’s desire to ensure that through intervention, prevention and education, more people become aware of the best practice recommendations on how to be great parents.

Children First said great parents create a strong family unit, better decision-making, fewer crisis situations and a more stable home environment. A stable home positively supports children in their academic endeavors and may lead to improved school performance. Children First said strong families make strong communities.
