The Garrett Clipper - November 14, 2013

By Sue [email protected] —Garrett High

School’s spell team has been putting in extra practice time the past few weeks.

They will be competing in Saturday’s state fi nals at Purdue University’s main campus in West Lafayette for the fourth year in a row.

Garrett reached the fi nals by scoring 53 out of a possible 90 points in a qualifying contest at Hamilton High School on Oct. 14. The top eight teams will advance to Saturday’s fi nals.

In qualifying competition last month, Garrett’s score ranked fourth among all Indiana schools in enrollment Class 3. The top eight teams in Class 3 advanced to the fi nals.

Garrett team members compiled lists of thousands of words that might be tricky — hyphenated words, homophones, words that are capitalized, and some words with foreign origins such as vichyssoise, Khrushchev and bouillabaisse.

Contractors working on two I-69 bridgesAUBURN — Southbound lanes

of Interstate 69 will be intermit-tently restricted between Exit 326 (C.R. 11-A) and Exit 329 (S.R. 8) during nighttime hours until Saturday morning, the Indiana Department of Transportation said.

Weather permitting. INDOT is performing proactive maintenance work on bridges over the CSX Railroad and Diehl Ditch and over C.R. 48. Both bridges are approxi-mately one mile south of S.R. 8.

The work will take place between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., beginning with a restriction in the southbound right lane. As work progresses, the contractor will restrict the southbound left lane.

INDOT said drivers should be aware of traffi c controls including barrels, cones and arrow boards while the work is in progress. A 45 mph speed limit will be in force within the construction zone when workers are present. A width limit of 14 feet is in force within the project limits. The maintenance is expected to be complete by 6 a.m. Saturday.

The work is part of a multi-lo-cation bridge maintenance contract, with work taking place in upcoming weeks throughout the INDOT Fort Wayne District. The contract was awarded to Pioneer, based on its low bid of $196,000.

Garrett honor veterans

By Sue [email protected]

GARRETT —Students were reminded of the sacrifi ces made by veterans both today and long ago during four programs at Garrett-Keyser-Butler Schools Monday.

School nurse Janis Arrington and guidance counselor shared a message of caring with middle school students assembled in the gym.

Arrington served as a nurse in the Armed Services, as well as a trauma emergency room nurse and fl ight nurse as a civilian.

“I am proud to be free today because of the veterans. Because of them we are allowed to come to school.

“But that freedom came at a big price. Lots of veterans came home without arms, legs, are not recognizable —only by their hearts,” she said.

Arrington mentioned the school’s anti-bullying policy.

“Being nice to each other should be easy,” not like in Iraq and Afghanistan where kids strap explosives on their backs, she said.

“We today need to learn what the veterans have learned with their buddies on the battlefi eld.” They would take a bullet for each other, she said.

She recalled how the front lines defended the hospital teams while on she was on deployment.

“I had buddies to take care of me,” she said of the troops.

She held up a military medal.“People don’t go into the

service to earn medals. Sure they look nice on uniforms. We earn diplomas, they earn medals. Many of the soldiers are not home for Christmas, birthdays or for the birth of their children.

“We celebrate Veterans Day one day a year, on Nov. 11. That is sad, because we should celebrate 365 days a year. We should thank them for providing our freedom.”

She shared that her own son is being deployed to Afghanistan soon and would not be home for Christmas.

“But with you all here, I will make it,” she said.

“But Mr. (Matt) Beerbower has a loved one who did not make it home,” she said in introduction.

Beerbower’s son-in-law JeBraun Knox was killed in Afghanistan last year.

“I am not a veteran,” Beerbower said. “I am a caring man. I will be OK because I have people around who care for me.

“On May 18, 2012, he gave the ultimate sacrifi ce to his country, family and even veterans,” he said of Knox.

“We lost a hero —a husband, dad, son-in-law, son, grandson, cousin — everything each one of us can be,” Beerbower told students. “Don’t every quit, work hard.”

Knox joined the military because he couldn’t fi nd full time work and college wasn’t working either, Beerbower said.

But the military was the right fi t for his son-in-law, where he thrived in the job he was doing.

Beerbower said there are 23.4

million living veterans in the U.S.“It should be easy to fi nd a

veteran to thank,” he told students, including family members, those

visiting the program in the gym or at the airport.

“We’re lucky we have a lot of kids” to choose from, he said.

The order in which they spell is also considered. If a competitor is a bit nervous, that speller is usually put in the front of the line, while another might like being in the anchor position.

“There’s no real method,” Claxton said.

The team members are all pretty dedicated — but many are very busy with other activities such as jobs, chores, band, choir and sports obligations, as well, he added.

They have their collec-tive eye on the top three places at state, but just qualifying for state is a great accomplishment, Claxton said.

“We want to stay with Greencastle,” one speller

said of the top scorers in their division.

Six seniors are on the team, with nine members returning from last year’s state appearance.

“They have done a really nice job representing the school and community,” Claxton said of the team. “If we do well Saturday, great. If we don’t, I will be just as proud. To make state is an honor.

“These kids didn’t just get there, they did a lot of independent work.”

Team members who spelled in the qualifying round were Matt Singleton, Julia Thorne, Alexa Davis, Alexis Doster, Megan Morris, Jackson Haynes, Alyssa Patterson, Cassie Smith, Kayla Davis and Victoria Stone.

Additional team members are Jacquelyne Zahner, Chen Chen, Mikayla Laws,

Kaitlyn Ellison, Bailey Ray, Sivannah Ybarra, Savannah Lay, Gabby France, Ben Jacobsen and Jordan Robbins.

Also in the area, East Noble High School qualifi ed for the state fi nals in Class 1, consisting of the state’s largest schools.

Middle school choir members sang “God Bless America” and Boys Scouts from Troop 178 presented the fl ag and led in the pledge of allegiance.

Two programs were held for J.E. Ober students in the Performing Arts Center in the afternoon. Grades kindergarten through fi ve watched a video about the meaning of Memorial Day and of Veterans Day, sang patriotic songs and held a moment of silence during the playing of taps by band

instructor Paul Marlow.Members of Grand

Central Station elementary choir sang special songs for the event.

A color guard from Cub Scout Pack 3178 presented the fl ag at both programs.

Last week, J.E. Ober students were asked to write a thank-you note to a veteran on colored paper. The red, white and blue sheets were assembled into three large fl ags — one outside the building, one on stage in the Performing Arts Center and a third outside the auditorium.

Sergeant First Class Dawn Perez was guest speaker for the high school program. She shared photos

depicting her activities while deployed Iraq and Afghani-stan. Perez has served in the U.S. Army Reserve since 1994 and previously served in the U.S. Navy in 1989.

She has two high school students at Garrett, Kyler and Brieanna. She thanked the staff for watching over them during her most recent deployment last year.

Choir members sang the national anthem and members from Boy Scout Troop 178 presented the colors.

A video was shown on the origin and meaning of the playing of taps, prior to a moment of silence as Marlow performed the somber tune.

AUBURN — David Dew, a 38-year United States history teacher, shared about the life of a Civil War solider Nov. 9 during the John Houlton chapter meeting of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Dew recounted the story of Joshua L. Chamberlain and how his early home life led him to excel as a citizen soldier in the Civil War.

Chamber-lain joined the 20th Maine Regiment under the command of General Ames and from him learned military skills that led him to hold the Union line at Little Round Top in the Battle of Gettysburg.

Chamberlain commanded the troops during the surrender ceremony of the Confederate Army in 1865. He ordered the Union soldiers to stand in respectful silence and salute as the Confederate soldiers turned in their arms. Chamberlain’s symbolic action was helpful in the long process of mending America back into a nation.

Not only did Chamber-lain distinguish himself in the military, he was a brilliant student, teaching himself Greek in order to pass the entrance exams to Bowdoin College.

Planning to enter the ministry, he attended Bangor Theological Seminary, where all classes were in German. Chamber-lain became fl uent in

nine languages, including Penobscot, the language of the indigenous people of the Northeastern Woodlands in Maine.

After the Civil War, he became Professor of Rhetoric and Languages at Bowdoin and later President of Bowdoin College, a position he held for twelve years.

Chamberlain died in 1914, a distinguished educator, military hero, and Surveyor of the Port of Portland.

Since Dew’s retire-ment fi ve years ago from Northwood Middle School, he has traveled and researched a number of historic personali-ties, including George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.

Dew, who recently became a member of the Sons of the American Revolution, lives in Fort Wayne and is a frequent speaker.

After refreshments, Regent Betty Bridgwater held a brief business meeting. Karen Bash read the minutes, Linda Quick gave the treasurer’s report and Mary Jane Smith presented the National Defense Report about veterans and their contribu-tions.

Daughters of the American Revolution membership is open to women over the age of 18 who are able to trace lineage to an ancestor who helped American indepen-dence. The next meeting is Christmas brunch on Dec. 14.

BUTLER CITY COURT NEWS

AUBURN — The Kruse Museum, operated by the Dean V. Kruse Foundation Inc., has paid off its $3 million building cost, a news release said.

The World War II museum paid off fi nancing to Farmer’s State Bank of LaGrange.

“We fi nally got the debt paid off for the Granatelli building,” Dean Kruse said Saturday night.

Court records show that a sheriff’s sale of the museum property was scheduled for Oct. 25, but was canceled shortly before the sale date.

The original $3 million building cost was intended to be the Andy Granatelli Racing Museum and Hall of Fame, but Granatelli backed out of the museum deal.

“I was stuck with that building — payments $30,000 a month and

nobody in it,” Kruse said.Late last year an

auction of German military vehicles brought in $2.95 million, leaving Kruse $400,000 short of paying what was owed. Recently, Kruse settled out of court on a 9-year-old lawsuit over a building he sold in French Lick and the net proceeds from that were $455,000.

“We used that to get all the way out of debt,” Kruse said. “It’s free and clear now. I need to fi nd a buyer or a tenant for the Granatelli Museum.”

In 2012, a South Dakota car collector bought the building at auction but the buyer backed out of the deal.

The Kruse Museum has rental facilities, party rooms, a library, grandstand area and theater rooms with full video and electronic ability.

Lady Railroaders run over Eagles in opener

By Phil [email protected] — Garrett

senior Brandi Dawson sent notice to Churubusco immediately that her numbers from last season were not a fl uke.

The Railroader probably couldn’t have kicked off her senior campaign any better. Dawson, who led the team in scoring a season ago with more than 17 points per game, made her fi rst six shots in Tuesday night’s season opener and fi nished with 31 points and 15 rebounds en route to a 69-40 win over the visiting Eagles.

“To be honest, it just came naturally (Tuesday night),” Dawson said. “When I looked up at the scoreboard, I just wanted to keep going and score as many as I could. I just went with the fl ow.

“I just felt like that the team was defi nitely going to work together and we were all excited for this fi rst game. We just knew that we had to do what we had to do on the court, and we did.”

Dawson also chipped in four assists, three blocks and two steals for good measure. For the game, she fi nished 12 of 21 from the fi eld and 6 of 7 from the free-throw line. She scored 20 of her 31 points in the fi rst half.

“It’s been a process since her freshman year. She understands what’s going on,” said Garrett head coach Bob Lapadot. “Every time something went wrong, she just played harder. And that’s a good leader for the rest of our team to see, and they fed off her. We got the

crowd into it, and we were able to run and get some other stuff when they concentrated on Brandi.”

But Dawson was far from the only contributor. Classmate Kaitlin Wisel scored nine points and also chipped in four assists — all of the latter coming in the fi rst quarter. The two have played together for a number of years now and the rapport they’ve built on the court showed Tuesday.

“We defi nitely give eye contact when we want to do something, and just be leaders and talk to everybody,” Dawson said.

Lapadot, while impressed with Dawson’s play, was also pleased to see balance within the rest of the roster. Besides Wisel, sophomore Taylor Smith had nine points and four rebounds, junior Emily Somers hit a pair of 3-pointers for six points, and senior Rachel Stafford had six points and seven rebounds.

“That’s what I’m happy about,” Lapadot said.

Garrett (1-0) put the game away early, jumping out to a 16-1 lead a little more than halfway through the fi rst quarter thanks to 13 points from Dawson. The Railroaders took a 22-5 lead into the second quarter and went on a 10-3 run to lead 32-8.

Churubusco (0-1) used a 7-0 run to cut the advantage to 32-15, but Garrett responded with a 10-0 run covering the second and third quarters to lead 42-15 with 6:33 left in the third quarter.

The spread would get worse. A 9-0 run — backed by six Stafford points — gave the Railroaders a 58-22 later in the period. Garrett’s biggest lead of the night came at 69-30 less than halfway through the fourth quarter following a pair of free throws by Bailey Sutton.

Garrett’s defense also did the job, forcing the Eagles into 15 turnovers and 10 of 45 shooting from the fi eld.

“That’s what we wanted,” Dawson said. “We knew

that we could do it if we played how we did (Tuesday night). We still have a lot more to practice on and we will get better as the season goes along.”

Kate Cooper and Jazlyn Needler led Churubusco with eight points each. Montana Martin, Alisha Farner and Alyssa Anderson all scored six points.

Junior VarsityGarrett 32, Eagles 22Sutton led the Railroaders

with 10 points and four rebounds. Tori Baver had six points, Kallie Knott tallied fi ve points and fi ve assists, Lyndsey Gibson had fi ve points and three steals, Amanda Stump had four points and Sloane Peterson had four steals.

REALLY TRULY LOCAL...

By Phil [email protected] Railroaders ended

last season on a roll, winning 13 of their last 15 regular season games before bowing out of the sectional with a loss to Angola. Garrett, 16-7 a year ago, has Bob Lapadot at the helm for his third year as it aims for its fi rst Class 3A sectional title.

The reason for such optimism in Big Train Country is the return of their top four leading scores from last year, led by dynamic 5-10 senior Brandi Dawson (17.1 ppg, 9.2 rpg, 2.5 apg, 1.8 spg), an all-area selection last year. She’s joined two fellow all-area selections from a year ago in 5-6 senior Kaitlin Wisel (9.4 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 2.7 apg, 1.5 spg) and 6-0 sophomore Taylor Smith (9.1 ppg, 6.4

rpg).Other players returning

from last year’s playing rotation are 5-5 junior Emily Somers (5.9 ppg, 3.1 rpg, 1.7 spg), 5-8 senior Rachel Stafford (1.6 ppg, 2.5 rpg), 5-3 sophomore Rachel DePew (0.5 ppg, 0.5 rpg), 5-8 junior Lyndsey Gibson and 5-8 junior Bailey Sutton. Other returnees that played varsity a season ago include 5-7 senior Alaina Creager and 5-8 junior Amanda Stump.

Also listed on the varsity roster are 6-0 sophomore Ally Gottfried and three freshmen: 5-9 Drue Bodey, 5-7 Megan Newby and 5-10 Tori Baver. Look for Bodey and Newby to be immediate contributors.

Garrett opened its season Tuesday against Churubusco and plays host to Lakewood Park tonight.

From Staff ReportsFORT WAYNE — In an

effort to make the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday travel period safer, Indiana State Police will be joining approximately 250 other law enforcement agencies statewide in participating in the annual Safe Family Travel campaign, a news release said.

Beginning Friday and running through Sunday, Dec. 1, the state police will be conducting high-visi-bility enforcement efforts including sobriety check points and saturation patrols targeting impaired drivers and unrestrained motorists.

In 2012, alcohol-impaired driving in Indiana was linked to 150 fatalities (an increase from 140 fatalities in 2011) and 2,112 injuries. Alcohol-impaired collisions were fewer than 3 percent of all Indiana crashes, but accounted for 20.3 percent of Indiana’s 779 traffi c fatalities in 2012.

Roughly six out of 10 fatalities in alcohol-im-paired collisions were the impaired drivers from 2008 to 2012. Approximately 80 percent of serious fatal and incapacitating injuries from alcohol-impaired collisions occurring during the 2008-2012 period were suffered by impaired drivers and their passengers.

To make the Thanks-giving holiday travel period safe, police are promoting these safety rules:

• If you are planning to travel make sure you are well rested; a fatigued driver is a dangerous driver.

• Avoid tailgating and remember the two-second rule.

• Make sure everyone is buckled up.

• Put down the electronic devices and drive.

• Don’t drink and drive.• Move over and slow

down for emergency and highway service vehicles.
