By Sue [email protected] — The Garrett-
Keyser-Butler school board approved three measures following public hearings Monday during which no citizen comments were heard.
The board gave its approval to the 2014 school budget at $16,499,934, and for 2014 capital improvement projects estimated at $1,278,730. The capital impr0vement budget includes $11,000 for a pole vault system for the sports facility.
The board gave a favorable nod to the 2014 bus replacement plan estimated at $242,000, which includes the purchase of a 78-passenger, rear-engine model. The balance of funds in the budget will be used for two fi nal lease payments and bus replacement for the Northeast Indiana Special Education Co-op, with the remaining balance to go toward the purchase of a new white bus.
An adoption meeting for the measures will be during
the next school board meeting Oct. 28 at 6 p.m.
In other business, Learning Center director Greg Myers reported Ivy Tech classes have begun for the school year with 10 students enrolled. Most are Garrett graduates, he said, which was the intent of the program.
“That was kind of nice to see,” Myers said.
Principal Lucas Fielden reported middle school sports are up and running, praising the cross country teams and the beginning of the volleyball season.
Fielden said he is working hard with staff members to get on board with the personal-ized learning program through training sessions and teacher collaboration between schools to observe the best practices.
High school Principal Matt Smith reported on homecoming activities and Hall of Fame induction last week.

DEATHS AND TRIBUTES

Roger and Becky Plaster of Middlebury took Best of Show for their 1934 Dodge sedan delivery at the Albion Harvest Fest car show Saturday. The has ties to former owner Dick Griffi s of Garrett.
Bob Btaley
By Bob [email protected] — This year’s
Albion Harvest Fest offered a variety of the old and the new — in some cases, at the same time.
The winner of this year’s festival car show was a fi rst-time entrant, and one of the new craftsmen selling items at the festival was a blacksmith, using a mini-forge he set up from the back of his pickup truck.
Roger and Becky Plaster of Middlebury took Best of Show honors in the festival car show with a 1934 Dodge Sedan Delivery that has ties to Garrett.
The vehicle, also known as a Dodge Phantom Sedan, actually was made from three vehicles, Roger Plaster said. Parts of the car came from a 1934 Chrysler, and the roof is from a 1956 Ford station wagon.
The Plasters didn’t own the car when it was made into the vehicle it is today, Roger Plaster said. They
bought it four or fi ve years ago from Richard Griffi s of Garrett, who reportedly said he built the car while he lived in Goshen, Ohio.
The Plasters had never been to the Albion Harvest Fest car show before. Roger Plaster said they were looking for a car show and thought the festival would have enough enjoyable activities to be worth the trip. They didn’t expect to win Best of Show, he added.
“It’s been one of the most relaxing days we’ve had. Even if we hadn’t won, we were going to come back next year,” Roger Plaster said. They plan to bring their grandchildren for the 2014 Harvest Fest.
Matt Gillis of Lake City Forge in Warsaw came to the festival after learning of it from Neil Case. He brought his mini-forge, an anvil and tools and began demonstrating his blacksmithing craft, as well as selling some items.
Gillis shoes horses
professionally, and brought shoes for different horses and uses and in a variety of styles. He also makes art from the iron used for horseshoes, including crucifi xes, sunbursts, fl owers and even wine racks.
Gillis said he’d been able to share about the work and sell a few things over the course of the day. “It’s been a blast,” he said.
Other festival events included the annual spelling bee, Kid’s Karaoke, a performance by Grace Notes, pumpkin painting, kid’s games, wagon tours of historic Albion, the corn and straw mazes, historic garden tractors and gas and steam machines, and lots of food, along with items for sale.
Old Tyme Base Ball Game, the motorcycle show, the variety show, a performance by Inclog-nito and the “Milk Chug” contest concluded events on Sunday.

for that group of people and to share with our students,” he said.
Superintendent Dennis Stockdale praised students for their conduct, as well.
“Friday demonstrated the quality of students and behavior from kindergarten and up,” he said. “The convocation was awesome, and students treated the speakers with respect” during the program and
through interaction in classrooms later in the day, Stockdale added.
All three inductees attended Garrett before J.E. Ober Elementary School was built. The new, individual learning program almost reminded them of the one-room schoolhouse they attended, Stockdale said.
He also praised three freshmen students for
introducing and playing host to the honorees Friday, crediting parents and teachers for the students’ conduct.
The board also approved the hiring of Nola West as a J.E. Ober instructional assistant, Jennifer Warfield as a part-time cafeteria worker, and Stephanie Kroemer as assistant high school girls soccer coach.

OBITUARY POLICY
By Sue [email protected]
GARRETT —Garrett Public Library director Cate Birdseye thanked the Garrett Common Council for its support at Tuesday’s meeting and announced Garrett State Bank was the winning bond bidder to fund its $1.9 million expansion.
She announced a brief groundbreaking ceremony is planned Saturday, Oct. 5 at 10 a.m.
Library project manager Sam Fetters of Signature Construction of Auburn told council members that the Board of Works gave approval at an earlier meeting to close the alley between Randolph and Cowen streets as far as the Methodist Church parking lot for the construction project.
Fetters said a lot of activities will be taking place between the staging area on the west side of the alley and the present site, including concrete pouring
and delivery of materials.The board gave approval
stipulating fi re and utility access be available. Fetters said a dual lock system will be installed on a gate surrounding the site.
Police Chief Keith Hefner supplied an activity report for his department for August with 462 total calls, an increase over July at 418.
His offi cers issued 40 traffi c tickets, 100 traffi c warnings, three code violations and 16 arrests, and responded to 10 property damage accidents, according to the report.
“The calls are running pretty consistent,” Hefner said. He added his depart-ment is still clearing up cases from burglaries and car break-ins earlier in the summer.
Hefner reported some remodeling has been completed at the station for munition storage at no cost to the city.
City planner Milton Otero told the council he has
received three applications for sidewalk repair under the 50/50 sidewalk repair program. He is continuing to take applications through mid-November, pending available funds. All three projects were approved by the Board of Works.
The council passed on second and third readings and adopted an amended ordinance for shooting off consumer fi reworks within the city limits during holidays.
The council also passed on second and third readings and adopted a measure regarding private water wells in the city.
Council member Brad Stump reported the Safe Routes to School program has been lumped into other transportation grants at the state level. He said chances are small that the project will be funded yet this fall, as it will be competing against major road and bridge projects.

By Chris SmurrGARRETT — When it
rains, it pours. That’s exactly what happened on a rainy Friday night as the Garrett Railroaders fell to the Bluffton Tigers 28-14 in an Allen County Athletic Confer-ence football game.
The Railroaders (3-2, 1-1 ACAC) were plagued all night by Tigers sophomore running back D’Wayne Eskridge as he gashed the defense for one big gain after another in racking up a whopping 222 yards on the ground on 18 carries. He also hauled in three catches for 10 yards.
“We haven’t handled athletic running backs very well,” Garrett head coach Chris DePew said. “Our two losses have come to some athletic guys.”
To say that DePew was disappointed with his team’s loss would be an understate-ment.
“I wasn’t real happy with our game plan,” he said. “We had to juggle our offensive line a little bit and I think it affected our game plan negatively. I don’t think we paid enough attention to detail this week.
“We didn’t have a great week of practice. I think coaches and players alike didn’t have a great week.”
The Railroaders found the end zone twice, both scores coming through the air from senior quarterback Noah Follett. He fi nished with 161 yards and had two intercep-tions on the night while connecting on 12 of his 18 pass attempts.
Entering the fourth quarter, the Railroaders found themselves down 13-7. After freshman defensive lineman
Cordell Camp scooped up a fumble by the Tigers, the Railroaders would capitalize on what would be the most electrifying play of the game. That play would come in the form of a 55-yard fl ea-fl icker pass from Follett to senior wide receiver Cole Wilson, which gave Garrett a 14-13 lead with 9 minutes, 23 seconds to play in regulation.
It would be the last time the Railroaders would score again.
Bluffton’s Eskridge continued to make big plays, picking up big chunks of yards as his team would fi nd the end zone two more times; once from junior quarterback Jacob Wenger on a 3-yard run and another from senior running
back Michael Pearson from four yards out for his second score of the game.
The Railroaders did their best to try and recuperate to close the gap with time winding down, but more turnovers removed any hopes of doing so.
“We didn’t run the ball very well tonight,” DePew said. “That’s our bread and butter. Our offense was pretty anemic tonight. That all comes from me play calling and it comes from game planning. We can’t win games with four turnovers.”
The rainy weather may not have affected Bluffton (3-2, 1-2) in the end, but it was hard to ignore it the entire
night.“The ball may have gotten
a little slippery tonight, but Bluffton was playing in the same stuff that we were and they seemed to handle it (well). It didn’t put either teams at a disadvantage,” DePew said.
“For the most part, it was just a matter of how we played. Knowing that it might rain I thought it would give us more of an advantage given our style of play. It didn’t work out that way at all.”
The Railroaders will look to rebound with a win next week at Woodlan. “They’re a big physical team and we’re going to have play a lot better up front on offense and defense,” DePew said.
