Rep. Pond resigns for health reasons

NEW HAVEN — State Rep. Phyllis Pond, R-New Haven, announced Friday that she is resigning effective Oct. 15, due to her recent diagnosis of pulmonary fi brosis.

Pond, 82, has served in the Indiana House of Representatives since 1978.

Until 2012, her district included portions of southern DeKalb County

Her decision to resign will set in motion a Republican caucus to choose a replace-

ment to fi nish her term.“Phyllis has been a pillar of

strength throughout her career as a state representative dating back to 1978,” Speaker of the House Brian Bosma said in a statement Friday. “As a former kindergarten teacher, her insight has been invaluable in all of the education policies that we have enacted throughout her tenure here.”

Bosma added, “Her legacy will continue to be remembered through the many pieces of legislation she has been involved with over the years including the Primetime Education Bill that lowered class sizes to 18 in kindergarten through the third grade as well as providing class sizes larger than 18 with a teacher’s aide.”

He said Pond “forged a new path for women legislators in Indiana.”

City meetings planned tonight

GARRETT — Two city meeting are planned Tuesday at City Hall.

The Board of Works will meet at 5:30 p.m.

The Common Council will meet at 7 p.m. Agenda items include:

• second reading of an ordinance prohibiting discharge of fi rearms with the city;

• second reading of an ordinance regulating hours during which consumer fi reworks can be discharged; and

• introduction of an ordinance regulating the installation and use of water wells within the city.

GKB School board to meet Wednesday

GARRETT — The GKB school board will meet in executive session at noon Wednesday in the superintendent’s offi ce to discuss personnel.

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 Sept. 13.

Nominees are Dr. Shirley (Dickison) Phillips and John W. Green, PhD, both from the Class of 1953; and Tom Leech from the Class of 1954.

Phillips was the fi rst of four

daughters born to Catherine and Donald Dickison. Her brother, Donny, was born 20 years later. For the fi rst three years they lived with my grandparents on their farm near Garrett. The adults in her close-knit family encouraged her lively curiosity which developed into a lifelong love of learning.

Her grade school years were spent at Butler Center’s one-room schoolhouse.

“While I loved my country school, it was not challenging and I sailed through without learning how to study,” she recalls.

Her secondary education

occurred at Garrett High School. Not knowing how to study, Latin turned out to be her nemesis — so much so that she couldn’t face a second year of it. Instead she designed a general program for her remaining years at Garrett. As a senior, she took geometry as independent study and since math was not her strong suit, she was surprised to earn an A for the class.

She participated in many clubs and organizations while at Garrett High School including as president of the student council. She was chosen to attend Hoosier Girl’s State and was elected Speaker

of the House of Representatives where she was voted 1 of 2 women graduates ‘Most Likely to Succeed’ by classmates.

She also was a member of the Rural Youth and Methodist Youth Fellowship, worked at the Garrett Drive-in and anywhere else she could fi nd to earn money for college.

“Like any good country girl, I always worked on my parents’ farm and I still hate those chickens,” she said.

After graduation, she was accepted at Ball State University and was granted a state tuition scholarship. In addition, she was given a $500 stipend per year as a dependent of a General Electric employee. In those days, the combination of these two fi nancial assistance programs nearly equaled

a full ride.She completed her BA in

English and Spanish languages in less than three years by attending summer school, and began her master’s program. After her fi rst year of teaching, she gave birth to daughter Kathy. Over the next six years, she continued to teach, expanded her family with two sons, Billy and Mike, and completed her Master of Arts in Guidance and Counseling.

She said her most rewarding public school position was the fi ve years spent teaching at the inner-city junior high in Fort Wayne. She also volunteered at Head Start and served as Family Director of the East Wayne Street Community Center. During this

GARRETT — Volunteers are key in making Miller’s Merry Manor residents happy, according to Administrator Pat Ort.

She directed her comments to dozens of volunteers at a reception Tuesday afternoon.

“Year after year, you are the ones who make it happen,” Ort said. “We have a wonderful base. The residents really benefi t from you — for that we are eternally grateful.”

Volunteers provide new faces and help residents socialize with friends outside of the facility. And the staff also learns new skills watching them, she said.

“There’s no better teacher than watching someone else do something,” Ort added.

Each year, a group and an

individual are selected for annual recognition.

Activity director Sharon McNutt named Mary Jo Deihl as individual volunteer of the year. She visits weekly to help with church services, lead devotionals and plays the piano.

Deihl, who has been a volunteer at Miller’s for two years, said she was at fi rst reluctant to obligate

herself to a weekly visit.“Now I really look forward to

it, and love to hear the singing,” she said. “It is very enjoyable.”

McNutt introduced Group Dekko as volunteer group of the year.

McNutt described the fi rst Thursday of the month as perhaps the rowdiest nights at Miller’s where about a dozen Group Dekko

volunteers lead resident in a lively game of bingo.

The volunteers dress up for specifi c themes for holidays.

Resident Dale Newkom suggested they wear hats — and it has been a tradition ever since, McNutt said.

ADMINISTRATOR PAT ORT TO VOLUNTEERS

AUBURN — Jack Randinelli, a founding father of the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival, died unexpectedly Sunday morning on the festival’s fi nal day.

Friends said Randinelli suffered a heart attack at his home in Auburn at age 74.

Thursday at the festival’s opening event, Randinelli had received an award for his 50th year of serving as a volunteer for the classic-car celebration.

Saturday afternoon, he drove his 1932 Auburn automobile in the festival’s Parade of Classics, carrying the parade’s grand marshal, Wayne Carini, host of the “Chasing Classic Cars” television series.

In public life, Randinelli had served as a member of Auburn’s Board of Public Works and Safety since 2000.

“Auburn is a better place to live because of Jack Randinelli,” said Mayor Norm Yoder, who chose Randinelli for the board.

Like many of Randinelli’s friends, Yoder learned of his death during the awards luncheon for the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Club, Sunday morning in the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum.

ACD Club member Dick Greene of New Jersey said he had breakfast at Randinelli’s home Sunday, then left for the museum only minutes before his friend died.

“I don’t think the impact of losing him will be realized,” immediately, Greene said, until a full year of ACD events goes by without Randinelli’s presence.

YFC seeks auction items

50 Years AgoAlthough Garrett High

School students might be crowded at the onset of the school year until a new annex is completed, a second shift would be eliminated and classes would begin on schedule in fall 1963. In order to make full use of all school facili-ties, high school students would eat lunch in the J.E. Ober cafeteria, the library would also serve as a study hall, and the big gym would be used for boys physical education classes.

Kalista Brinkerhoff was appointed chairman of the DeKalb County United Fund Drive Area Two in 1963, which included Garrett, Altona, Keyser and Butler townships.

An early morning dragnet was placed around a wooded area north of Garrett in a futile effort to apprehend a man believed to be an escapee from a Michigan prison camp. DeKalb County Sheriff Dorsie Likens said he was notifi ed shortly after 6 a.m. by Howard Yarde that he had seen a man run across two fi elds and disappear into a dense woods near his farm north of town as he was rounding up cattle. Likens and four Indiana State Troopers followed the man through heavy dew into the woods, but then lost the trail. The sheriff then report-edly drove to the Auburn Airport and continued search from the air without success. Yarde’s description was similar to a Warren, Mich. man who escaped two days earlier.

Marilee Hughes of South

Lee Street was crowned Miss Garrett at the conclu-sion of recent Sidewalk Days in the city. She was presented her crown from Miss Indiana 1962 Jane Flanagan. Hughes succeeded previous Miss Garrett Karen

Wade.Ten

lettermen returned to the Railroader football squad in the fall of 1963 — Vic Hunter,

Glen Ludban, Bill Corry, Ed Kelham, Al Rapp, Keith Bunn, Tom Vanderbosch, Larry Warstler, Roger Noel and George Hathaway.

25 Years AgoTwirler Dawn Reinoehl,

10, received a fi rst place at the Indiana State Fair in the Novice Solo Division. She had been twirling the baton for more than four years. Her parents are Mr. and Mrs. Roger Reinoehl.

Two Garrett music students returned from a 19-day tour of Europe. Troy Bigelow and Matt Likes traveled as member of the American Musical Ambassa-dors Band comprised of 120 students from 35 states, including eight from Indiana. Likes was the youngest student on the tour. His trip was paid through a full scholarship from Purdue University. Bigelow was sponsored by several Garrett clubs, businesses and organizations. Likes plays the trombone, Bigelow plays the trumpet.

Lloyd Mealer of

Lexington, Ky. was introduced as the new minister at the First Church of Christ in September 1988. He and his wife, Pat, had served in several churches in Ohio and Kentucky prior to accepting the call to come to Garrett.

Sports teams for the 1988 Garrett Railroaders included boys cross country runners Jason Woodward, Eric Baker, Scott Lilly, Chris Lilly, John Blessinger, Anthony Marchelletta, Kalvin McBride, Tim Delauder, Dino Marti, Matt Likes and coach Bob Novy. The varsity volley-ball team included Teresa Wiant, Nichole Myers, Val Francis, Shari Thrush, Beth Hixson, Lisa Liechty, Melisa Mansfi eld and Danielle Solga.

The Garrett American Legion Post 178 Color Guard was invited to attend the national competition in Louisville, Kentucky. Local color guard members included Richard Tustison, Robert Culler, Ralph Shumway, Gary Dickerson, Mike Sattison, Pat Bennett, Herb Fields, Laurin Fike, Ron Gall and Bob Bond. The unit would be judged on military maneuvers, posting of colors, form, content of program and execution. Each group presents a six-to-seven minute routine.

time in Fort Wayne, she and her husband decided to complete their family by adopting their fourth child from San Antonio, their son Rey.

In 1970, her family embarked on a new adventure at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon. The six of them started out and camped their way along the Oregon Trail to return to school once again. Living in the Northwest was an excellent experience for the whole family. As a farming community, Corvallis had a lot in common with her Midwest childhood, while Oregon added mountains and the Pacifi c Ocean coast. While her husband completed an EDD in Vocational Education, she earned her PHD in Psychology, Anthro-pology and Education.

After years as a school psychologist, the apex of her career was being appointed assistant director of the Family Practice Residency Program, as well as Director of Behavior Science at the Saginaw campus for Michigan State University’s College of Human Medicine in East Lansing.

Concurrently, she served as assistant professor at MSU where her responsibilities included training medical students and family practice residents how to assess and treat psychological and social issues of patients.

During these years, she served on various professional boards, such as at the local women’s shelter and Insight for Addictions. In 1997, she decided to concentrate solely on her private practice as a psychologist. At the same time she enjoyed creating and presenting a variety of workshops and seminars.

After retiring in 2004 and moving to Ohio, she used her new-found time to explore more volunteer interests, such as Habitat for Humanity, Hospice and back to Head Start. She also continued working on an occasional basis as a life coach. She fi nally found time to pursue some creative hobbies, starting with drawing and painting classes and continues to enjoy her lifelong passion for reading all kinds books, writing poetry and traveling.

Her children have settled in four different corners of the US — Atlanta, Los Angeles, Ohio and Washington State. They all have professional degrees and are well-em-ployed. She is currently preparing to start a new adventure and relocate back to the Pacifi c Northwest, moving to Vancouver, Wash. which is close her my daughter.

In high school she wanted to become a physician, but was discouraged from pursuing that career because she was a woman. Her

college dream was to become a professor and teach at the university level, but raising a family and frequent household moves prevented her from realizing this dream. Yet in 1975, the door was opened when she earned my doctorate degree, which led to er becoming a professor at Michigan State University’s College of Medicine and teaching medical doctors.

“My story has a moral —Never Give Up your Dreams,” she said.

The three inductees and/or family representatives will speak with students during a school-wide assembly from 8:30-9:30 a.m. on Sept. 13, then visit high school classrooms in the afternoon.

A tailgate party hosted by Miller’s Merry Manor will be from 5:30-6:30 p.m. where Garrett High School students will be serving cake.

Presentation of Hall of Honor inductees will be during halftime of the football game on Memorial Field.

Criteria for selection requires nominees be a Garrett High School graduate, living or deceased; at least 10 years must elapse since graduation and eligibility; and must have made an impact or contribution in one of three areas: civic/patriotic service; humanitarian or professional fi eld.

AUBURN — Molten aluminum caused a fi re late Saturday night at Shiloh Industries (formerly Contech), at 1200 Power Drive on the city’s west side, Auburn Fire Chief Mike VanZile said.

Firefi ghters rushed to the factory at 10:28 p.m. to fi nd that a large melting furnace was leaking molten aluminum, which ignited a nearby storage rack and other materials. Firefi ghters quickly extinguished the fi re and declared the situation under control at 10:54 p.m.

The factory makes cast aluminum parts for automo-biles.

WEATHER INFORMATION PROVIDED BY NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OF NORTHERN INDIANA

By MARK MURDOCKmarkm@kpcmedia.comGARRETT — Garrett

couldn’t control the result of its fi rst game during the second week of the football regular season.

The Railroaders could only work to be better the next time they played.

Garrett fans enjoyed a job well done, as the Railroaders dominated in the trenches on both sides of the ball in a 34-0 victory over county rival DeKalb.

Garrett’s ground game was the story, chewing up yardage and clock with three long scoring drives. Bryit Sumner rushed for 112 yards on 26 carries and scored three touchdowns. The Railroaders (1-1) held the ball for nearly 31 of the 48 minutes and did not punt.

The Barons (0-2) showed some spark early on offense, but gained only one fi rst down after the fi rst quarter against Garrett’s fi rst defensive unit, which set up the the team’s fi nal two

scores with takeaways.“The offensive line was

the strength of our team last week,” Garrett coach Chris DePew said. “We just shot ourselves in the foot, and didn’t tackle and weren’t physical. They committed to getting better.

“We have a team without a lot of experience, so every game we play is a classroom. They learned the last seven days. They got better. The offensive line has been leading us.”

DeKalb is in much the same situation with new faces through the lineup. The Barons are also learning in the midst of a tough start.

“Give credit to Garrett, they really came out swinging,” DeKalb coach Mike DeVos said. “They were ready to go.

“Both sides of the ball, we’ve got to be more consistent. We put together a couple drives and had a couple great stops on defense. We just have to be more consistent.”

Garrett got rolling with a 70-yard, nine-play drive. Bo Davis burst up the middle on a 21-yard touchdown run to start the scoring.

On its next possession, Garrett used nearly 6 1/2 minutes to drive 56 yards in 13 plays, with Sumner covering the fi nal 7 for the score and a 14-0 halftime lead.

The Railroaders didn’t permit the Barons any hope in the second half.

“We played a much better second half. We fi nished the game,” DePew said. “We shot ourselves in the foot a couple of times, and DeKalb could have taken advantage of that.”

Instead, Garrett took advantage of good fi eld position. After an 11-play drive stalled in Baron territory, the Railroader got the ball back on the DeKalb side of the fi eld, and a 48-yard, nine-play march ensued, with Sumner scoring on a short run to make it 20-0.

Davis’ interception and return to the DeKalb 23 set up Garrett for another score. Davis scored his second touchdown on an 8-yard pass from Noah Follett.

Kicker Karsten Cooper, who kept the Barons on their toes with well-placed kickoffs all night, then hit one the way he hits his golf shots in the spring, with the ball biting inches from the DeKalb goal line. Cam Buttermore was forced to run with it and was tackled at the 5.

Blake Davis recovered a Baron fumble at the 2, leading to Sumner’s fi nal TD.

While Follett was able to mix in six completions, Garrett relies more on grinding out yards this season. The Railroaders don’t care how they do it, they just want to win, DePew said.

“It’s been very unselfi sh, We threw a lot last year, and Noah Follett was an All-State candidate, threw for all kinds of yards. He hasn’t complained. The receivers don’t complain

about having to block more than catching the ball.

“It’s a very tight team. They argue like brothers sometimes. They’re learning how to play the game, they’re learning how to lead, they’re learning how to work, they’re learning how to play at varsity speed, they’re learning how to be prepared.”

DePew also praised the work of his coaching staff.

“We’ve got a new

coaching staff and they’ve worked their tails off,” he said. “Assistant coaches don’t get very much credit. When a team gets better in a week like we did, the assistant coaches have a lot to do with that.

“They put in all the hours. They meet for seven days a week of work. It’s a young coaching staff without a lot of experi-ence, but they truly do an awesome job.”
