50 Years Ago, Nov. 25The nation mourned the loss
of President John F. Kennedy at a requiem Mass at St. Matthews Roman Catholic Cathedral in Washington, D.C. on Nov. 25, 1963. Longtime Kennedy family friend Richard Cardinal Cushing, archbishop of Boston offi ciated.
The terrible news of the president’s assassination reached Garrett early afternoon Friday and was met with disbelief. But radio and television reports changed the emotion to dismay, shock and sorrow, according to local newspaper reports.
Residents stopped at local businesses and on the sidewalks
downtown to share the tragic news.
A moment of silence was held prior to the Garrett-Concordia basketball game just before the playing of the national anthem
that night in the Railroader gym.Principal Donald French
stepped to the microphone and asked all in attendance, a reported
capacity crowd, to stand for a moment of silent tribute and prayer for the late president.
“The people stood in an instant and the silence was profound,” according to reports.
Garrett Mayor Fred Feick announced all city businesses would be closed on Nov. 25 in memory of the president, and declared a day of mourning in the community and asked all citizens to observe the day in their most personal way.
All public and parochial schools closed for the day, as did the post offi ce. All county offi ces closed
and local independent grocery stores closed from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad announced it would halt all trains for minute at 11 a.m. Monday in memory of the late president. Other operations in the company would also cease for one minute at that time.
Several Garrett churches held special memorial services both in the morning and afternoon on Nov. 25. The Garrett American Legion held a special service in the middle of the 100 block of North Randolph St.

Baylee Werkheiser, 9, is creating rubber band bracelets in multiple colors and selling them for $2 apiece.
She originally planned to donate $1 to the Garrett Christmas Bureau and use any leftover money to buy more supplies.
“We didn’t spend that much on the bands,” her mother, Stephanie Werkheiser said, “so we decided to give it all to them.”
Werkheiser said they plan to use the money to purchase items requested for the Christmas Bureau.
The whole idea started when Baylee’s grandmother, Judy Werkheiser, brought home a kit of colorful rubber bands from a hobby store.
“She wondered if Baylee would like these to make friendship bracelets,” Stephanie Werkheiser said. “And she gave them to Baylee for Halloween and that’s how it all started.”
Baylee went online and watched a video on You Tube to fi nd how to create the fi shtail bracelets.
It turned out the ones on the Internet were not the same — but Baylee liked these better.
“I just watched it once and fi gured it out,” she said.
Her mom said Baylee has always been

HUNTERTOWN — The Huntertown Town Council has amended an ordinance to remove a provision that claimed water utility service territory in Noble and DeKalb counties.
The amended ordinance reads, “The Huntertown Water Service Area is hereby defi ned and established as those areas within the corporate boundaries of the town and the area within four miles of outside its corporate boundaries, exclusive of those areas which are outside of Allen County …”
The ordinance as originally written included territory within a four-mile limit beyond the Allen County line, which would have extended the service
area north of LaOtto into Noble County, as well as into DeKalb County.
The Noble County Commissioners voted Monday to fi le a letter with the Indiana Utility Regula-tory Commission opposing any claim by Huntertown of water utility service territory in Noble County.
A similar Huntertown ordinance involving sewer utility service area already excluded areas outside Allen County as of Monday, said Noble County attorney Dennis Graft.
Huntertown’s amended ordinance includes a statement declaring an emergency and making the ordinance effective immediately.

Nobid for less than 99% of the facevalue of the Bonds will be consid-ered. The Bonds will be awarded tothe highest qualified bidder who hassubmitted a bid in accordance here-with. The highest bidder will be theone who offers the lowest net interestcost to the Library, to be determinedby computing the total interest on allof the Bonds to their maturities basedupon the schedule provided by theLibrary prior to the sale and deduct-ing therefrom the premium bid, if any,
and adding thereto the discount bid,if any. No conditional bids will beconsidered. The right is reserved toreject any and all bids. If an accept-able bid is not received for the Bondson the date of sale hereinbeforefixed, the sale may be continuedfrom day to day thereafter, duringwhich time no bids for less than thehighest bid received at the time ofthe advertised sale will be consid-ered.
Each bid must be enclosed in asealed envelope addressed to the Li-brary and marked on the outside "Bidfor General Obligation Bonds of2013". A good faith deposit ("De-posit") in the form of cash or certifiedor cashier's check in the amount of$7,000 payable to the order of the Li-brary is required to be submitted bythe successful purchaser (the "Pur-chaser") not later than 3:30 p.m.(EST) on the next business day fol-lowing the award. If such Deposit isnot received by that time, the Librarymay reject the bid. No interest on theDeposit will accrue to the Purchaser.The Deposit will be applied to thepurchase price of the Bonds. In theevent the Purchaser fails to honor itsaccepted bid, the Deposit will be re-tained by the Library as liquidateddamages.
The successful bidder shall makepayment to the person or entity cho-sen by the Library Director to act asregistrar and paying agent (the "Reg-istrar") for the Bonds and accept de-livery thereof from the Registrarwithin five days after being notifiedthat the Bonds are ready for delivery,at such place in the City of Indian-apolis, Indiana, as the successfulbidder may designate. The Bondswill be ready for delivery within 45days after the date of sale. If the Li-brary fails to have the Bonds readyfor delivery prior to the close of bank-ing hours on the forty-fifth day afterthe date of sale, the bidder may se-cure the release of his bid upon re-quest in writing, filed with the Library.The successful bidder is expected toapply to a securities depository regis-tered with the SEC to make suchBonds depository-eligible. At the timeof delivery of the Bonds to the suc-cessful bidder, the bidder will be re-quired to certify to the Library the ini-tial reoffering price to the public of asubstantial amount of each maturityof the Bonds.
It is anticipated that CUSIP identifi-cation numbers will be printed on theBonds, but neither the failure to printsuch numbers on any Bond nor anyerror with respect thereto shall con-stitute cause for failure or refusal bythe successful bidder therefor to ac-cept delivery of and pay for theBonds in accordance with the termsof its proposal. No CUSIP identifica-tion number shall be deemed to be apart of any Bond or a part of the con-tract evidenced thereby and no liabil-ity shall hereafter attach to the Li-brary or any of its officers or agentsbecause of or on account of suchnumbers. All expenses in relation tothe printing of CUSIP identificationnumbers on the Bonds shall be paidfor by the Library; provided, however,that the CUSIP Service Bureaucharge for the assignment of saidnumbers shall be the responsibility ofand shall be paid for by the Pur-chaser.

The approving opinion of Ice MillerLLP, bond counsel of Indianapolis,Indiana, together with a transcript ofthe proceedings relating to the issu-ance of the Bonds and closing pa-pers in the usual form showing no liti-gation questioning the validity of the
Bonds, will be furnished to the suc-cessful bidder at the expense of theLibrary.
The Bonds are being issued for thepurpose to pay the cost of the reno-vation and improvements to WaterlooGrant Township Public Library, in-cluding but not limited to, the con-struction of an addition to the librarybuilding in the library district, and willbe direct obligations of the Librarypayable out of ad valorem taxes tobe collected on the taxable propertywithin the Library; however, the Li-brary's collection of the levy may belimited by operation of I.C.6-1.1-20.6, which provides taxpayerswith tax credits for property taxes at-tributable to different classes of prop-erty in an amount that exceeds cer-tain percentages of the gross as-sessed value of that property. 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.

By State Sen. Dennis Kruse (R-Auburn)
On Tuesday Nov. 19, the Indiana General Assembly convened at the Statehouse in preparation for the 2014 legislative session. “Organi-zation Day” as it’s called, provides legislators an opportunity to meet with fellow lawmakers and staff, and begin discussing legisla-tive topics.
The upcoming session will begin in January and by law, conclude no later than March 14.
Even though it’s a short session, I’m sure it will prove to be another noteworthy year for the
Indiana General Assembly. As chair of the Senate
Committee on Education and Career Develop-ment, I look forward to discussing topics that will help improve Indiana’s education
system.One issue on the docket
is Indiana’s consideration of Common Core education standards. This past year, the General Assembly halted the state’s implementation of the
nationally created Common Core State Standards to allow for more input from parents, students, teachers and other experts.
The interim study committee on Common Core Educational Standards held public hearings over the past few months to help lawmakers weigh in on which educational standards are best for Hoosier students. Though legislators will voice their recommen-dations, the State Board of Education ultimately has the authority to decide what standards Indiana schools will implement.
Another topic that needs
attention is Indiana’s skills gap. With the help of Gov. Mike Pence, Indiana has made vocational education and workforce readiness training a priority to help make sure future workers have the skills employers seek. The vocational education initiatives we passed last year were a step in the right direction. I hope legislators continue to make job training a top priority.
The fi nal topic to discuss is early childhood education. Preparing students for success begins at an early age. Last year, the legisla-ture set aside $4 million for an early education pilot
program. We hope to get the results of this pilot before the upcoming session, so we can fully discuss the effectiveness of early education programs.
During the 2014 legisla-tive session, the Indiana General Assembly is sure to address several other issues Hoosier residents, families and businesses face.
As session gets under way, I encourage Senate District 14 residents to contact me with any questions or comments. I can be reached via email at [email protected] or by phone at 1-800-382-9467.
What do you think?
2014 legislative session begins

creative. It takes 50 rubber bands, one C-clip and two unsharpened pencils to make the bracelets — and 20-30 minutes to complete.
Baylee’s favorites are the pink, green and yellow bracelets, but she had done several in maroon and blue for the Railroaders.
In the past week, Baylee has been fi lling orders from family and friends for some 87 bracelets with more coming in all the time on her mom’s Facebook page where photos of the various colors are on display.
Popular colors include camo, rainbow, tie-dye and pinks and purples. She hopes to fi ll 250 orders.
Baylee said it takes a couple days to deliver the bracelets. Orders can be placed by phoning 260-553-0990 through Dec. 6 to benefi t the Christmas Bureau. Orders taken after that date will benefi t other local charities.
Dr. Sarah Ragan of Garrett has offered to match 50 cents for every bracelet sold through Dec. 6, as well.

HOME Indoor plants and activities
Check houseplant leaves for brown, dry edges, which indicate too little relative humidity in the house. Increase humidity by running a humidifi er, grouping plants or using pebble trays.
Extend the lives of holiday plants such as poinset-tias and Christmas cactus by placing them in a cool, brightly lit area that is free from warm or cold drafts.
Houseplants may not receive adequate light because days are short and gloomy. Move plants closer to windows, but avoid placing foliage against cold glass panes. Artifi cial lighting may be helpful.
Because growth slows or stops in winter months, most plants will require less water and little, if any, fertilizer.
If you are forcing bulbs for the holidays, bring them into warmer tempera-tures after they have been suffi ciently precooled. Bulbs require a chilling period of about 10 to 12 weeks at 40 degrees F to initiate fl ower buds and establish root growth. Precooled bulbs are available from many garden suppliers if you did not get yours cooled in time. Then provide two to four weeks of warm temperature (60 F), bright light and moderately moist soil to bring on fl owers.
When shopping for a Christmas tree, check for green, fl exible, fi rmly held needles and a sticky trunk base - both indicators of freshness. Make a fresh cut, and keep the cut end under water at all times.
Evergreens, except pines and spruce, can be trimmed now for a fresh supply of holiday greenery.
YARDLawns, woody
ornamentals, fruitsPrevent bark splitting of
young and thin-barked trees,
such as fruit and maple trees. Wrap trunks with tree wrap, or paint them with white latex (not oil-based) paint, particularly on the south- and southwest-facing sides.
Protect shrubs such as junipers and arborvitae from extensive snow loads by tying their stems together with twine. Carefully remove heavy snow loads with a broom to prevent limb breakage.
Protect broad leaves, evergreens or other tender landscape plants from excessive drying (desicca-tion) by winter sun and wind. Canvas, burlap or polyethylene plastic screens to the south and west protect the plants. Similarly, shield plants from salt spray on the street side.
Provide winter protec-tion for roses by mounding soil approximately 12 inches high to insulate the graft union after plants are dormant and tempera-tures are cold. Additional organic mulch such as straw compost or chopped leaves can be placed on top.
GARDEN Flowers, small
fruits, vegetablesTo protect newly planted
or tender perennials and bulbs, mulch with straw, chopped leaves or other organic material after plants become dormant.
Store leftover garden chemicals where they will stay dry, unfrozen and out of the reach of children, pets and unsuspecting adults.
Once the plants are completely dormant and temperatures are consistently below freezing, apply winter mulch to protect strawberries and other tender perennials. In most cases, 2 to 4 inches of organic material such as straw, pine needles, hay or bark chips will provide adequate protection.
Check produce and tender bulbs in storage, and discard any that show signs of decay, such as mold or softening. Shriveling indicates insuffi -cient relative humidity.
Clean up dead plant materials, synthetic mulch and other debris in the vegetable garden, as well as in the fl owerbeds, rose beds and orchards.
Order seed catalogs, and make notes for next year’s garden.

as tight as Friday night’s DeKalb-Garrett girls basket-ball showdown was usually come down to one particular moment, one where the ball bounces the right way at an unexpected time can provide the boost to lead your team to victory.
And that’s what the visiting Railroaders experi-enced Friday night when a loose ball popped right to Kaitlin Wisel, who drilled
a 3-pointer with 1:41 left in the game to break a 38-38 lead and push Garrett toward a 49-40 victory.
“Earlier in the game, I was just going a lot faster than I needed to. I knew I needed to slow down. And so, I just calmed myself down and I knew the ball was coming to me, and I was open. So I just went into my shot, correct form and everything, and it just came off right,” said Wisel, who had missed her previous three 3-point attempts. “It
felt great. I knew it was going to go in as soon as I let go.”
That decisive play started innocuously enough. Junior Emily Somers drove to the paint and was met by a trio of Barons, which forced the ball to come loose. After a few seconds, the ball popped out of the scrum like a fully-formed popcorn kernel fl ying into the air and went right to Wisel, who didn’t have to move an inch to catch the ball before shooting the go-ahead triple.
On the next possession, Wisel drove the paint and found an open Somers running the baseline to push Garrett’s lead up to 43-38 with 1:18 on the clock.
“We made the free throws, we made the shots,” said Garrett head coach Bob Lapadot. “Wisel hits the biggest shot of the night. We executed, fi nally. It got helter-skelter. This is our fi rst big road test in a couple years that we’ve actually responded to. It’s good to see a veteran squad do that.”
It was the type of game that could’ve turned the other way if the laws of gravity had held. Shortly before Wisel’s 3-pointer, a long jumper from DeKalb’s Maddy Fifer was 3/4 of the way down the net before popping back out that could’ve given DeKalb the lead.
“We had great looks at the end, they just didn’t fall,” said DeKalb coach Nick David. “There’s nothing to
be ashamed of. That’s going to happen. You have to keep shooting, they’re going to start falling. The big thing now is, just bouncing back and getting back on track. All the credit goes to Garrett. They played very well.”
The Railroaders (4-0) closed the game at the free-throw line, making all six attempts in the fi nal 52.4 seconds. For the game they were 15 of 20 from the charity stripe.
“When it mattered at the end we hit all the big ones,” Lapadot said. “I told them when it was 38-38 and we were missing them, it would cost them. But we stepped up and didn’t missed another one.”
For DeKalb (2-1), the Barons won’t have to look much further than their shooting numbers. They were only 28 percent from the fi eld (14 of 51) and 45 percent from the free-throw line (9 of 2o), which helped offset Garrett’s 19 turnovers.
“Free throws, we work on them every day,” David said. “We’re just struggling right now at the free-throw line. But if you start thinking about them and psyching yourself out, it’s going to happen. We just have to relax, go to the line, shoot them exactly the same way every time and they’ll start falling.”
Garrett took control of the game midway through the third quarter, using a 9-0 run — six points from Wisel
and a three-point play by Brandi Dawson — to push their lead to 33-23 with 2:11 left in the period.
The lead was still eight with six minutes left in the game before DeKalb used an 8-0 run — sparked by a Baylee Rinehart 3-pointer and capped off by a bucket form Skyler Ostrowski — to tie the game with 3:40 remaining.
Dawson tallied a double-double with 24 points and 12 rebounds, while adding two assists, three steals and two blocks. In the second quarter alone, she scored 13 points and added six rebounds to help Garrett erase a fi ve-point defi cit and take a 24-19 lead into the locker room at halftime.
Wisel was also in double fi gures with 11 points and
added seven rebounds. Somers scored six points and Taylor Smith had fi ve points.
“It’s a good win for this group,” Lapadot said. “It’s a great win to come on the road and do this, and be able to carry on momentum. We had a great fan base. It’s nice to give them a win and hopefully they’ll come back strong and keep coming.”
Rachel Ehmke led DeKalb with 10 points off the bench. Leins scored nine points, Fifer had eight points and Rinehart had six points. Ostrowski and Ehmke led the Barosn with seven rebounds apiece.
DeKalb had won the previous two meetings with Garrett.
“It’s the best feeling,” Wisel said.
