INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana School Counselor Associ-ation recently named state Sen. Dennis Kruse, R-Auburn, its Legislator of the Year.
The association said it honored Kruse, chair of the Senate Education and Career Development Committee, for his openness and leadership on various education issues.
“Sen. Kruse has long distin-guished himself as a champion for Indiana’s school counselors,” said Julie Baumgart, government relations and legislative chair of ISCA. “He has consistently opened
his doors to our members to listen to the challenges and concerns they face each day as they strive to improve the lives of Indiana students.”
Baumgart added that Kruse’s sponsorship of House Enrolled Act 1423 was instru-mental in passing this important measure to help young Hoosiers. HEA 1423 provides anti-bullying initiatives and resources to schools across
Indiana.The association said over the
past several years, Kruse has authored and sponsored a number of bills to improve Indiana’s overall education system.
“It’s an honor to be recognized by the Indiana School Counselor Association,” Kruse said in a news release from the association. “This organization is focused on advocating for student success, both in and out of the classroom. I look forward to working with them in the future.”
This summer and fall, Kruse served as co-chair of several
education committees studying topics such as Common Core, regional college campuses, high-preforming schools and absenteeism.
“Sen. Kruse has been willing to advocate on our behalf and on behalf of Indiana’s school children to his colleagues in the General Assembly,” Baumgart said. “His record of leadership on education issues and his attentive-ness to the concerns of Indiana school counselors make him an ideal selection as our inaugural Legislator of the Year.”

AUBURN — A judge, not a jury, will decide if a former local police offi cer who is accused of obtaining military surplus items through his depart-ment and selling some of them for personal gain is guilty or not guilty.
Sean L. Kahkola of the 15000 block of Towne Park Run, Huntertown, is charged with two counts of theft, both Class D felonies. Kahkola had been a Garrett police offi cer from 1997-2005. He joined the Auburn Police Department in 2005 and resigned from the Auburn force April 16, 2012.
A jury trial had been scheduled for Dec. 3 and 4 in DeKalb Superior Court I.
Thursday, Judge Kevin Wallace granted Kahkola’s motion to waive a jury trail and set a bench trial before the judge. Kahkola is represented by attorney Kevin Likes. Joe Rowe is the special prosecutor in the case.
According to court documents, in 2005, Kahkola helped the Auburn Police Department obtain a 1988 Chevy pickup through a program that gives police depart-ments items the federal govern-ment no longer wants, free of charge. By Jan. 5, 2006, Kahkola was listed on the truck’s title as its owner, according to court documents. On July 28, 2008, Kahkola sold the truck to his parents for $500.
The second theft charge relates to the sale of a 2002 camper that Kahkola also procured while he was a police offi cer in Auburn.

WEST LAFAYETTE — Garrett High School’s Spell Bowl team spelled 49 words correctly out of 90 possible to take fi fth place in Class 3 at the Indiana Academic Spell Bowl Senior State Finals on Saturday at Purdue University.
“I think we did really well,” said Garrett coach Mark Claxton. “I think it’s pretty outstanding that of all the schools in Class 3, we were able to place fi fth.”
Cascade High School in Clayton was the state champion in Class 3 with 81 words correct. Eight teams competed in Class 3 at the state meet. In Class 1, East Noble High School placed second.
This was the fourth straight year Garrett has qualifi ed for the fi nals.
“I know that I would like to keep coming back. I know the kids would,” Claxton said. “Garrett’s had a really excellent tradition of bringing kids down to this competi-tion. We’re looking to be here again.
“We’ve got 20 team members right now. We’ve got six seniors,
so hopefully I can get all 14 kids to come back and then some for next year.
Junior Julia Thorne and senior Cassie Smith each had near-perfect rounds with eight words correct out of nine for Garrett. Claxton said he
was proud of all the students who competed.
“They’re extremely dedicated. They’re all busy kids, but they always fi nd time,” Claxton said. “They represent Garrett extremely well.”

GARRETT — The Garrett Museum of Art opened its latest exhibit, “Beauty” at a reception Friday.
More than 35 area photogra-phers submitted entries for the juried show that will continue through Dec. 22.
Forrest VanGundy of Golden Lake near Angola won fi rst place with his entry, “Abstract Weeds.”
VanGundy said his interest in photography began some 40 years ago but he quit about 10 years later.
He recently retired and returned to his hobby about four years ago.
His entry was shot with a Nikon D70.
VanGundy said he did not use much manipulation to create his award-winning photo. He frames all of his own works.
He was surprised this particular photo was selected the winner of his three entries.
VanGundy has shown his
photos at other shows, and is proud to have three entries entered in the recent Clark Gallery Photography Show at the Honeywell Center in
Wabash.“I got in!” he said.
Photo exhibit opens at GMOA
Dozens of patrons visited the Garrett Museum of Art Friday at the opening of its photography exhibit, “Beauty.” The show will continue through Dec. 22.

Veteran’s Day parade should have had more
viewersTo the editor:I am very disappointed
in the citizens of DeKalb County. My son and I attended the Veterans Day parade on this past Saturday. We only saw maybe and I stress maybe a dozen people lined up to watch the parade within the couple block area I could see from where we were standing.
This is shameful. Where were you?
It was a beautiful sunny, windy November day so you cannot blame it on the weather. Our local veterans deserve more respect than what they were shown on this day.
At least that is my opinion. The streets of town should have been lined with people to honor these brave men and women who have fought and/or are fi ghting for our country.
Something to think about when you lie down to sleep tonight.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
FROM STAFF REPORTSAUBURN — The
youngest members the United Way Campaign Chair family wanted to fi nd a way to make a difference in the community.
Many of the United Way campaign presentations and events their parents, David and Stacy Hefty, are involved in happen while their children are in school, or even sleeping.
At a news confer-ence Wednesday, Sydney Hefty, 10, and her younger brothers, Matthias, 8, Isaiah 6, and and Isaac 3, shared that they have been hard at work making posters for a book drive to benefi t families in DeKalb County with children from birth to age 3.
The children chose to name their program the Live United Through Reading Book Drive.
Sydney Hefty shared her own love for books and that her favorite time to read iss at bedtime and her favorite book is “The Mysterious Benedict Society” by Trenton Lee.
Her brothers shared that they like tractor books — the ones with green tractors.
Their parents shared with them the importance of helping others. The Hefty family loves to read, so the
book drive was a natural choice.
“We want all children to have books of their own,” Stacy Hefty said. “There are few things better that letting a child curl up in your lap to look at pictures, hear your voice and learn to think of books as a favorite toy.”
New and gently used board and picture books will be distributed to area agencies to give to families with children from birth to 3 years old. These agencies and organizations report they are thrilled with the chance to give books to young children, and they are aware of the connection between the love of reading and language and success in school.
Renee Florin, executive director of Shelter Ministries, said the donated books will be given to families at its Shopfor Christmas day. Florin said the ministries hope to provide each child with “something to wear, something they need, something they want and something to read.”
Employees of the Family Dollar Distribution Center in Ashley, Messenger Corp. in Auburn, Nucor Building Systems in Waterloo and Nucor Vulcraft in St. Joe will be collecting
books through the end of December.
Community members from Garrett can donate books at the Judy A. Morrill Recreation Center, Butler residents can donate books at Butler Early Education, and books also can be dropped off at the United Way offi ce, 208 S. Jackson St., Auburn now through Dec. 30.
Agencies receiving the books are Butler Early Education, Children First Center, DeKalb Council on Pregnancy, GKB Head Start, Judy A. Morrill Recreation Center, RSVP Community Center of Caring Food Pantry, Shelter Ministries and YMCA of DeKalb County.
“We are so apprecia-tive of the companies and organizations that are supporting this book drive,” said Sonja Situm, resource coordinator for United Way. “The Hefty children are excited that our community members are working with them to bring the joy of books to lots of other children.”
The book drive will continue through the end of the year.
For more information, contact the United Way offi ce at 927-0995 or [email protected].
Young UW supporters launch book drive
The United Way of DeKalb County launched a Live United Through Reading book drive Wednesday. The effort is led by the children of campaign co-chairs David and Stacy Hefty. New and gently -used books are sought for local agencies that deal with early learning programs. In front, from left, are Isaac Hefty, 3, Isaiah Hefty, 6 and Matthias Hefty, 8. In back are Glen Bontrager, human resource manager for Messenger Corp., Sydney Hefty, 10, Johnelle Smith, early education coordinator for the Judy A.

WEATHER INFORMATION PROVIDED BY NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OF NORTHERN INDIANA
My name is Kaitlin Wisel and I am a senior at Garrett High School. This fall, I participated in an internship at Indiana Physical Therapy in Auburn.
After being injured and having gone through surgery and physical therapy myself, I really enjoyed being around my therapists and the environment of the workplace.
This sparked my initial interest. I have always had an interest in athletics as well, which got me interested in athletic training and even more interested in physical therapy. The Professional Career Intern-ship program allowed me to explore my career and fi nalize my decision of this being the right profession for me.
As an intern, I had the opportunity to observe patients and their injuries. The therapist comes up with a plan in order to treat the patients to the fullest potential possible. I am given the opportunity to help the patients regain full use of the injured part by going through strengthening exercises with them.
One day I could be helping a patient with a wrist injury, and the next I could be helping another with a back or knee injury. Each therapist has his or her own specialization, and I had the privilege to observe all of them.
My favorite part about my internship was the relationships I developed with the therapist and the patients. Every day, I saw multiple patients that I was able to help regain function and strength as well as talk to and get to know on a more personal level. I loved being able to get to know the therapists as well. They shared about their lives and families and helped me with any questions I had about furthering my education in
this fi eld.I furthered my knowledge
about the human body and how joints, bones, tendons and ligaments are supposed to properly work. I earned how to get those body systems that do not work properly back to where they need to be in order to perform everyday tasks. My desire to pursue a career as a physical therapist increased throughout this program.
My mentors at Indiana Physical Therapy taught me so much. One quality I would like to take from them to use in my future is their sense of drive and determination while being gentle. You have to push the patients to get better and improve, but you can’t push them too far. My mentors plan workouts around what will best benefi t each
individual patient to get him or her back to normal. They have also learned through facial expressions, breathing patterns, and the slightest movements when a patient is beginning to feel overworked and in pain. I started to catch on and would love to have the ability to notice such little things and help others improve their lives.
I would highly recommend this program to other students. Hands-on experience is my best way of learning making this class very benefi cial for me. It is a great way to explore your career options and prepare you better for your future. I would like to thank all of the therapists and patients at Indiana Physical Therapy and Garrett High School for this opportunity.

The Li-brary is required by law to fully fundthe payment of debt service on theBonds in an amount sufficient to paythe debt service, regardless of anyreduction in property tax collectionsdue to the application of such taxcredits. The Library may not be ableto levy or collect additional propertytaxes to make up this short fall. Wa-terloo Grant Township Public Libraryis a library organized pursuant to theprovisions of I.C. 36-12-3, and theBonds will not be "private activitybonds" as defined in Section 141 ofthe Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
The Bonds constitute an indebted-ness only of the Library. Interest onthe Bonds is exempt from all incometaxation in Indiana. In the opinion ofbond counsel, under the existing fed-eral statutes, decisions, regulationsand rulings, the interest on the Bondsis excludable from gross income forpurposes of federal income taxation.

same. These include:• Students advance at
their own pace to meet their individual learning needs. Students are challenged with a rigorous curriculum that is just right for them.
• Students are provided with the best learning environment, allowing them to maximize their potential and pursue their unique interests and passions.
• Teachers utilize on-going assess-ments to make individualized instruc-tional decisions and drive instruction.
• Students are empowered to have voice and choice in collaboration with their teachers/learning coaches.

Offi cers arrest fourAUBURN — Local
police offi cers arrested four people Tuesday night and Wednesday, according to DeKalb County Jail records.
Kristin Sisco-Fisher, 22, of the 200 block of East Houston Street, Garrett, was arrested Tuesday at 8:27 p.m. by the Auburn Police Department on charges of possession of paraphernalia and possession of marijuana, hash oil, hashish, salvia or a synthetic drug, both Class A misdemeanors.
Matthew Coyer, 40, of the 1000 block of Farwood Avenue, Fort Wayne, was arrested Wednesday at 10:02 a.m. by the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Depart-
ment for alleged contempt of civil court involving child support.
David Johnson, 50, of Uniondale was arrested Wednesday at 12:54 p.m. by the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department for alleged contempt of civil court involving child support.
Ryan Pruitt, 30, of the 2300 block of C.R. 35, Waterloo, was arrested Tuesday at 10:30 p.m. by the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department on a warrant charging him with imperson-ation of a police offi cer, a Class D felony.
According to a police affi davit of probable cause for Pruitt’s arrest, a woman contacted police after a
man, later identifi ed as Pruitt, came to her house and said he was a police offi cer looking for someone. The woman asked for police identifi cation, and Pruitt responded that he did not have it with him, the affi davit said.
The woman thought Pruitt might be a police offi cer because of the type of vehicle he was driving and because his haircut was similar to that of many police offi cers, the affi davit said. When police questioned Pruitt, he allegedly confessed, telling police he was attempting to locate someone but did not know the person’s exact address.

NOTICE OF MEETING
By Phil [email protected]
GARRETT — With Lakewood Park Christian’s starting point unavailable due to an injury, Garrett’s girls basketball team applied defensive pressure in a major way in Thursday night’s DeKalb County matchup. The Railroaders forced the Panthers into 55 turnovers for the game — 31 in the second half — and held them to 21 percent shooting from the fi eld (8 of 39) en route to a 80-24 rout on Garrett’s home fl oor.
The game will also be remembered for the milestone attained by Garrett senior Brandi Dawson, who reached 1,000 career points in the third quarter. She fi nished with a game-high 28 points to land her evenly at 1,000 points.
“It means a lot knowing that my team put a lot of effort into that. it just means so much. Words can’t really explain it,” Dawson said. “When I got told I was just 28 points away coming into this game, I was just really shocked and happy.”
Dawson nearly earned a triple-double, leading the Railroaders with 12 rebounds and eight steals while also adding two assists. After scoring 31 points Tuesday against Churubusco, she’s now averaging 29.5 points per game.
“It’s good for her. She deserves it,” said Garrett head coach Bob Lapadot. “It’s an awkward moment in a game like this. But we go on the road for three games, so we really wanted her to do it (at home).
Her teammates wanted it, and we just played our game.”
Lakewood Park (0-1) was without its starting point guard, junior Natalie Mafera. She reinjured her ankle in Saturday’s scrimmage against Prairie Heights and coach Pam Chaney believes Mafera will return next week.
But Garrett’s pressure defense showed no mercy. Of the Panthers’ 55 turnovers, 37 were Railroader steals. Besides Dawson’s eight steals, Emily Somers had seven steals, Drue Bodey had six steals, Rachel DePew tallied fi ve steals Kaitlin Wisel had three swipes.
“Thirty-seven steals tells you that it was good defense. Some of the balls just went out of bounds, but we were making things happen
defensively,” Lapadot said. “The nice thing is that we were able to do that in our half-court; we really didn’t press much. We just played good half-court defense. I’ve never been part of a game with that many turnovers. It was one of those ragged games and I’m glad we played well.”
Garrett committed 22 turnovers on the night.
Railroader sophomore Taylor Smith was also in double fi gures with 16 points, while adding fi ve rebounds. Wisel chipped in nine points, Somers had seven points and Rachel Stafford had fi ve points.
Jamie Budreau led the Panthers with seven points, and Khrystyna Thompson hit a pair of 3-pointers for six points. Emma Dusseau fi nished with fi ve points and 10 rebounds, and Hannah Priskorn had fi ve points and nine rebounds.
Dusseau scored with 1:15 left in the fi rst period to cut Garrett’s lead to 8-4. The game went haywire from there as Garrett then went on a 24-5 run over the next 5:30-plus to lead 32-8.
The biggest run of the game would take place over an eight-minute stretch in the second and third quarters, when the Railroaders embarked on a 28-0
run to lead 62-12 with less than two minutes left in the third quarter. During that stretch, Dawson scored 13 of her 28 points to reach the 1,000-point plateau.
“We knew that we wanted the ball and we just wanted to put a lot of pressure on them,” Dawson said. “We’ve been working on defense a lot in practice and just wanted to do it more in the game, too.”
Dusseau ended the run on a basket with 1:14 left in the third. The Panthers went 12 minutes without a fi eld goal in that stretch in the second and third quarters.
Thursday’s game was Lakewood Park’s season opener. The Panthers’ top three scorers from last season all graduated, leaving Chaney in full rebuilding mode.
“Although we have four seniors, we’re young because of the inexperience,” Chaney said. “We didn’t really have a true point guard to back (Mafera) up. That is tough from the get-go, not having someone to lead the team.

Jim Gabbard, from the IPFW Visual Communica-tion and Design department and Garrett High School art instructor Mark Ober were judges for the exhibit.
Gabbard said the entries were judged for color harmony, technical excellence and story the photo portrays.
Craig Vespe of Fort Wayne captured second place with his photo, “Rainbow Eucalyptus.”
Third-place winner was Rich Manalis, also of Fort Wayne, for “To Life,” an abstract image of Goat’s Beard seeds. He also won
an honorable mention for his “Still Life” entry. Both use macro-photography to delve inside an image that a normal viewer might not observe with the naked eye.
Other honorable mention awards were presented to Lauren M. Davis for “Water Series,” Camille Kruse for “Morning Portrait,” Rachel Vonn for “Freedom,” and Megan Bauermeister “The Eye of the Beholder.”
The museum is located at the corner of King and Randolph streets in downtown Garrett.
