Kids salute veterans Patriotic emotions ran high at West Noble Elementary School on Monday as students and teachers staged their annual “Salute to Veterans.” About 50 veterans attended the program on Veterans Day. Mr. Jeff Iden, one of the fourth-grade teachers and a veteran, talked about etiquette and singing of the National Anthem. Members of the school’s Student Council read a poem, “Veterans Day” by Cheryl Dyson. The West Noble Super Singers sang “America the Beautiful” and “Proud of Our Veterans.” Each veteran addressed the students and told which branch of the military they served, and for what years.

Public provides park plan proposals BY BOB BUTTGEN bbuttgen@kpcmedia.com

LIGONIER — Public input has been given to the Ligonier Park Board as the parks and recreation department works to develop a master plan for the future of Pettit Park. Pettit Park is the city’s newest park and located on about 3.5 acres on the north edge of the downtown area of Ligonier. The site was formerly home to a factory but it was razed several years ago and the land cleared for use as a park. S.R. 5 borders it on the east; Lincolnway West to the south; and the Elkhart River to the north. The park already has a large pavilion, parking lot and a picnic area. It has been used for several special events, including the Ligonier Strawberry Festival since it opened just over a year ago, and is also the new home for the city’s farmers market. Alan Duncan, director of parks and recreation for the city, worked with the park board to hold two public input sessions to develop a future-use plan for Pettit Park. Several members of the public attended the two meetings and put together a long list of possible features and potential uses for the park. It’s a long-range plan that will continue to be developed, Duncan told the Ligonier City Council at its Tuesday night meeting. A third public-input session is being planned to give the public another chance to provide input on the master plan. Included in the list of items that the public would like to see as part of Pettit Park is: • Sidewalk vendors to sell food; • More electrical service for vendors and events; ➤ Park Plan, Page 2

THE BOB REPORT

OBITUARIES

Let the games begin! You couldn’t find a more hard-working and fun-loving

Irene Stanley

group of guys than the West Noble High School boys basketball team last Saturday. The team, and their dads and other manly-types, gathered together for a day of work and fun around the West Noble area. With rakes and shovels in hand, they descended upon at least three different residences in the area to do some fall cleaning. You know, raking leaves and covering up flower beds and stuff like that. They also did some trap shooting at a gun club in Albion, saw a hunting-dog demonstration and enjoyed a big-boy lunch back at the school. Coach Jim Best has done a good job of making sure his team is very community minded and helpful to others. And he’s not alone out there. Many teams and clubs do the same thing. Coach Best gave most of credit for Saturday’s fun day to middle school teacher Tim Schermerhorn, whose son Drew is on the team. So who says we don’t have great young people in our community? Certainly not this over-the-hill editor! Congratulations to these boys, and girls, who work hard to improve their community. You can show your support by attending their basketball games, wrestling matches and gymnastics meets this winter. Speaking of attending basketball games, I overheard Wes Arendt tell this story to Roger Schermerhorn on Saturday during the girl’s basketball scrimmage at the high school. THE BOB Wes, the Heavenly Sno-Balls guy from REPORT Syracuse, is originally from the Baltimore Bob Buttgen area before he and his wife, Margaret, moved to the Syracuse area. They are still considered West Noble folk, however, for reasons I Did you don’t need to go into now. know that Anyway, Wes was telling stories about Yelberton how he grew up in the shadow of the profesAbraham (Y.A) sional football stadium in Baltimore. This Tittle was born was back in the 1950s, I believe, when the Colts were from Baltimore and not from in 1926 and Indianapolis. entered the He was hanging out at the stadium when hall of fame in the New York Giants* team bus pulled up into the parking lot. A guy leaned out the 1971? window and asked young Wes to bring him a couple of hot dogs into the stadium, and handed a him a buck. Wes did what he was asked and lo and behold, the hot-dog eater was none other than Y.A. Tittle, the Hall of Fame quarterback for the New York team. Wes was able to stay on the field before the game, after he gave Tittle the hot dogs, but a guard told him to beat it. Tittle stepped in and said to the guard, “It’s OK. He’s with me.” So Arendt got to hang out with the Giants by their bench for the game, and he gleefully gloated that fact to his friends up in the stands. Well, I thought it was a cool story. See you at a basketball game! *Tittle played for the Colts, Giants and 49ers but I thought the story was told about Tittle as a member of the Giants, but I’m not 100 percent sure.

S.R. 5 and CR 200N now a 4-way stop LIGONIER — The intersection of S.R. 5 and C.R. 200N, south of Cromwell, has been converted to a four-way stop as of Wednesday, the Indiana Department of Transportation announced last week. Currently, the intersection is a two-way stop for C.R. 200N only, with a flashing amber caution light above the intersection on S.R. 5. “Stop” signs with “all way” plaques and flags, stop bars and “stop ahead” signs will be placed at all the approaches to the intersection. Because S.R. 5 traffic previously did not have

to stop at the intersection, double “stop ahead” signs and “stop” signs will be placed on S.R. 5 approaches in both directions. An advanced flashing beacon will be placed on the “stop ahead” warning sign for southbound S.R. 5 to increase driver awareness of the new stop. The change in traffic controls is a result of a traffic study completed by INDOT that reviewed traffic patterns and the crash history at the intersection. Motorists should be aware of the traffic change and drive with caution at the intersection, INDOT said in a news release.

Thank you to The Advance Leader and other local businesses for the advertising. God Bless you all, Dorothy Bish, Local Coordinator American Red Cross Blood Drive

Veterans Day will be a few days passed by the time you read this, but that’s alright. The fact that we have a war continuing in the Middle East should keep our boys and girls in uniform around the world on our minds, hearts, and prayer lists in any event. First of all, I want to say a belated “Thank You for Your Service” to all veterans and servicemen out there, and to the members of our American Legion Posts in the West Noble area. Beth Lehman of our church is currently serving in the Air Force, and we are proud of her service also. When I served in the Navy, I was well remembered by a number of people, so I will use the courtesies extended to me to make suggestions as to how you might let your service men and women know you remember and think of them. Writing letters has to rank No. 1 on the list. I was on a great number of my friends’ lists and they wrote to me fairly regularly

tion. Candy and cookies are usually always welcome, and usually shared with the rest of their pals they serve beside. I’ve received small Christmas trees, money clips, miniature stuffed toys, pencil and paper, stamps; just use your imagination but make them small and simple because they do not usually have much storage space. An occasional phone call is always welcome. I called home once from Hong Kong, not even thinking about what time it was back home. The call was more than welcome though. During the first year of my service, I had two chances to take two weeks leave home, and my grandfather paid for all of my flight tickets both ways. When Grandpa wrote to me, he often slipped a $20 dollar bill or so into my letter. My reply, which became a laughing point was, “thank you for the contents.” I grew up during WWII

and it shaped my life and thinking forever. My parents and grandparents had just come out of a Depression. Friends were being called into uniform and some of them did not return. There were rationing stamps for many items such as gasoline, sugar and the like. My toys and coloring books were almost always about the war, soldiers, jeeps, tanks, planes and other weapons. I learned to respect our fighting men and women and what they represented, and I gained a healthy respect for our flag and country. I also learned the Pledge of Allegiance and the national anthem before going to school. I’m proud of who we were, what we stood for, and for what it all taught me about life. God bless the USA! Rev.

director Kayla Replogle was pleased with the run. “We had high expectations going in to the Zombie Run this year, and we hope to continue to see growth throughout the coming years,” she said. This run takes participants through Charger Trail, a project taken on by New DAWN students who participate in an after-school program through LEAP at West Noble School Corporation. Brian Shepherd and Nicholé Emmert was the top male and female finishers. (See list below). Runners were given two lives at the beginning of the race and had to fend off zombies in order to “survive” the race by having at least one life left when

LIGONIER — There were some scary-looking things on the West Noble campus when LEAP of Noble County and the Ligonier Track Club hosted the 2nd annual 5K Zombie Run this past Saturday. Luckily all of the more than 60 runners survived the zombie mayhem. The event raised about $600, and the money will be used for both LEAP of Noble County, giving back to the after- and before-school New DAWN program, and the Ligonier Track Club. The race started at 10 a.m. despite the wind, about 60 runners came out to take on the obstacles and the zombies located around the course at West Noble. Race

West Noble recognizes fall sports athletes LIGONIER — The 2013 fall sports awards were announced last Thursday night at West Noble High School, in front of an overflow crowd of parents, grandparents, friends and other family members, along with nearly 200 student-athletes. The program started out with most valuable player and sportsmanship award winners being announced by the head coaches of each program, followed by recognition of 70 scholar athletes who achieved a 3.5 GPA during the season, along with all-conference team members. The event concluded with a video of various pictures throughout the fall. “Thanks to all the coaches, parents and athletes for their significant contributions to the West Noble High School athletic programs,” said West Noble athletic Tom Schermerhorn.
