Operation Christmas Child accepting donations LIGONIER — Burr Oak Church, located in rural Ligonier on C.R. 1100 North, is the local headquarters for Operation Christmas Child, described as the world’s largest Christmas project of its kind.

The all-volunteer effort has area residents preparing to collect 1,300 gift-filled shoeboxes during National Collection Week, Nov. 18–25.

The project involves individuals, families, churches and groups in working to make Christmas a reality for needy children around the world by

filling shoeboxes with toys, school supplies, hygiene items and notes of encouragement.

At four local collection sites, people can drop off gift-filled shoeboxs to send to children overseas. The shoebox gifts will be delivered to children worldwide, and for many children, they will be the first gifts they ever have received, the organization said.

West Noble residents can use Burr Oak Church but can also take items to one of the other locations if needed.

At Burr Oak Church, Linda

Hartzler is the relay center coordinator. She can be reached at 894-4505 or by email at llh865@ ligtel.com.

Local collection sites and their hours: • Ligonier — Burr Oak Church, 11010 W. 1100N; Nov. 18-22, 4-7 p.m.; Nov. 23, 9 a.m.-noon; Nov. 24, noon to 4 p.m.; Nov. 25, 9-11 a.m.

Parkview Noble community nurse Leshia Howell, RN, performs a vision screening on a West Noble Elementary School student in Ligonier.

Community nurses offer help to WN school nurses LIGONIER — Students at West Noble schools are among the hundreds of local children who are being helped by the Parkview Noble Hospital’s community nurse program.

The proactive program helps school nurses with preventive screenings and health education.

Parkview Noble is the only community hospital outside Fort Wayne with a nurse in this position, said Leshia Howell, a registered nurse and the current community nurse working with school-age children in all three of Noble County’s school districts.

“When I see how busy the school nurses are and realize how I can help, especially with preventive measures and screenings, I am proud to be helping out this way in Noble County,” she said.

Howell recently completed nearly 1,600 vision screenings at the schools. From these screenings, 211 students were referred for further eye examination.

The state requires vision screenings for children in kindergarten or first grade, third and fifth or eighth grades. Howell screens all those age groups as well as any child suspected of having a vision issue.

She uses a small, hand-held unit, PediaVision, that screens both eyes at the same time and provides a complete refrac-

tion assessment. The screening looks for seven different visual defects including near-sighted, far-sighted and astigmatism.

Students receive either a pass or a referral.

Monday, Howell began working with the Noble County Board of Health to offer flu mist immunizations in all schools in Noble County.

“It’s really important we vaccinate as many kids as possible in the school setting,” she said. “This will help keep them healthy during flu season, keep them in school and help prevent the spread of flu.”

Later in the school year Howell, will offer asthma education to schools with students who need this outreach.

In the summer she teachers Star Sitter classes at Parkview Noble.

Before becoming the community nurse, Howell was a clinical educator and an emergency room nurse educator for Parkview.

Parkview Health pledges that all Parkview facilities give back to their communities by way of community involvement, financial support and health resources, said Julie Buttgen, Parkview Noble’s community relations specialist.

One way Parkview Noble is giving back is funding a community nurse for Noble County.

CROMWELL — The Sparta Township Volunteer Fire Department has been helping people in need for more than 40 years. Now, their efforts are being directed at one of their own.

A benefit event has been set for Saturday, Nov. 16, to help James (Jimmy) Heintzelman, a 34-year veteran of the department.

Activities will start at 4 p.m. at the firehouse in Cromwell.

Tickets are $10, and that includes a pulled-pork dinner and all the trimmings, along with both silent and live auctions, a 50-50 drawing and other festivities.

“This benefit is being organized to help Jimmy and his family through this difficult time and to help alleviate some of their financial burden and medical expenses,” said Eric Moser, a fellow firefighter who is among the many volunteers in the department helping organize the fundraiser.

often will travel thousands of miles, Operation Christmas Child offers a way for participants to follow their boxes by using the donation form at samaritanspurse. org. Donors will receive email messages with the countries where their shoeboxes are delivered.

Operation Christmas Child said it has collected and delivered more than 100 million shoebox gifts to suffering children in more than 100 countries since 1993.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Operation Christmas Child hopes to collect another 9.8 million gift-filled shoeboxes in 2013.

LITTLE THINGS CARRY BIG MESSAGES

It’s little gestures like this, captured in a photo taken in the lobby of West Noble Primary School on a recent fall morning, that can give the day a great, heart-warming start. Principal Brian Shepherd takes the time to tie the shoe of a youngster.

One of the slogans on the wall of the school reads: “A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way!”

Principals, teachers, aides and other staff members can often silently remind each of us, every day, the way we should do things; not by telling us, but by quietly showing us.

Alleged Noble House thief to stand trial Court rejects pretrial appeal

BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com

ALBION — The case of a former executive director of Noble House Ministries will go to trial, the Indiana Court of Appeals has ruled.

The Bering defense attorney for Dana Linette Bering, 41, of Churubusco, tried to have her case dismissed, claiming it had taken too long to prosecute her under Noble County rules. He forwarded the case to the Court of Appeals for a ruling earlier this year.

The appeals court ruling said the case could proceed, according to Noble Circuit Court records.

In its ruling, the appeals court said while the county rule is designed to insure a speedy trial, it is not to be used as a technical means to avoid trial. It also ruled that Bering’s motions in the case, such as her request to have Circuit Judge G. David Laur recuse himself in the case, led to the delays, so the trial could proceed.

In a teleconference Oct. 21, Bering’s trial was set for Feb. 4-6, 2014, in Noble Circuit Court with Special

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2013

Judge James Heuer of Whitley Circuit Court officiating. A final pretrial conference in the case was set for Jan. 6, 2014.

Bering is charged with five counts of theft and one of fraud, all Class D felonies, for offenses she allegedly committed against Noble House Ministries Inc. while she was its executive director from July 2009 to September 2010.

Bering allegedly used a debit card issued to Noble House Ministries to purchase items such as a television set and racing suit, as well as to pay personal bills for her and her husband.

The debit card transactions allegedly were made without the approval or knowledge of the Noble House Ministries Board of Directors between Sept. 2, 2009, and Jan. 11, 2010.

Bering is also accused of unlawfully receiving over $25,000 during her tenure as executive director, and of using a Noble House Ministries debit card to purchase $179 worth of merchandise from Wal-Mart, including 12 sets of curtains and three curtain rods.

A Class D felony carries a sentencing range of six months to three years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.

But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” — Matthew 7:13 NIV. Growing up would not be so difficult if there were not so many distractions and obstacles. A number of people I’ve known for some time have been in and out of trouble time and again because of the enemy’s toys and tools that make the other side of life look so good and fun.

Even though I grew up in the 1950s and ’60s, I never got involved in the drug culture and do not, to this day, understand it.

I did not listen to those who pushed it in their music; I am not attracted to either the hard nor soft metal at all.

The use of meth seems to have reached epidemic proportions. A city councilman friend from another community shared that they were having their

the alcohol was not enough, so he moved to marijuana, and eventually other drugs for FROM THE so-called recreation.

WINDOW In time, OF MY he lost his and STUDY job business, his wife and family, his nice home, Rev. John Lutton his reputation and self-respect. He became not much more than a beggar on the street. He tried several times to stop and finally thought he had it whipped.

In the middle of the night, a lady friend going into withdrawal needed to make a buy, and Jim was the guy who could do it. At about 2 a.m., while making the purchase, he was suddenly shot in the chest. His last words were, “I’ve been shot,” as he fell to the ground.

Ambulance and police covered the scene, and the paperwork submitted by the

ambulance crew was marked “DOA.” — Dead On Arrival.

The Scripture text pretty much tells the story. Parents, grandparents, school teachers and coaches, pastors and everyone else who has contact with our youth: Please help get the warning out that alcohol and drugs is pretty much a dead-end street.

Parents whom I’ve known over the years that furnish the alcohol to their teens are not doing them a favor, and it is not a major step toward growing up.

While in the service, in a Japanese town, I saw a big street sign which said, “Broadway” and beyond it were the bright lights, music, the girls, the drinks, entertainment and the “good” times.

The street was rightly named.

At 16, I gave my heart to Christ, just in time. Thank you, Jesus!

third meeting this year on meth.

Considering the cost, the price to be paid for doing it, and the consequences for getting caught it, appears to me to be a dead-end road and a dream destroyer at best.

It will be a destroyer of marriages, possibly affect the birth of children, erect a roadblock to any aspiring careers that might lie in wait for you and likely break up families and friendships in its path.

“Jim” grew up in the Midwest in a middle class family where both parents both smoked and used alcohol rather freely. This atmosphere resulted in arguments, fights, threats of bodily harm and eventually murder! Often the screaming would last long into the night. He smoked his first cigarette at age 11, began to drink occasionally in high school and by the time he reached adulthood, he was hooked on it.

Moving into a thriving wholesale company and reaching the top meant more money. Eventually

College. I also felt like God was telling me to go there. It was a great place where I could learn to transform lives,” she told me. “Not just people’s lives, but in a way my own. I was shy went Brandy I first went to the Saylor Ligonier Crossing, but everyone there helped me get out of my comfort zone. It transformed me. It was going to help me form new relationships with people and get out of my comfort zone once in a while.”

Coming to the Crossing has really helped her open her heart. In a way, the Ligonier Crossing introduced her to what she wanted to be, she said.

“I’m going to Bethel for mission work, but also for Social and Intercultural studies. I would like to do a lot of mission work. Knowing that I’m helping people in need really touches my heart. I would like to maybe be a teacher at The Crossing someday.”

Brandy said the lifestyle afforded to her at Bethel also has been a major breakthrough.

“It’s a Christian college, yes, but it is just as hard as any college. I spend my nights watching Netflix and trying to figure out what homework to start first.

My jobs are cleaning the guest houses and working at The Acorn, a place where students can get sandwiches.”

She still misses her friends back in Ligonier and at The Crossing.

“I miss family time and the service learning projects. The Crossing was like my second family.”

Noble County company. The shipments are coordinated for Whiteshire Hamroc by Clayton Agri-Marketing of Jefferson City, Mo. A specially equipped cargo plane was used to transport the hogs out of a Chicago airport, after they were trucked to Chicago from Noble County.

The Chinese government has endorsed the project because American farms, such as Whiteshire Hamroc, are considered the world’s foremost experts in swine genetics.

Whiteshire Hamroc is the largest U.S. recorder of Yorkshire, Landrace, Duroc and Hampshire combined, according to the National Swine Registry 2012 recordings. Whiteshire Hamroc has been exporting swine breeding stock for more than 20 years to more than

FROM STAFF REPORTS ALBION — A Noble County agricultural enterprise continues to ship its products to China.

Last month, Whiteshire Hamroc, based in rural Albion, exported its largest international shipment of swine breeding stock to China.

The latest shipment consisted of 1,180 pigs representing three of the four major breeds of swine in the United States: Yorkshire, Landrace and Duroc.

This was not the first nor will it be the last shipment of Indiana-bred hogs headed to China, the world’s most populous country, officials of the company said.

Whiteshire Hamroc has made several previous shipments of live animals to China, but the Oct. 14 shipment is the largest for the

Brandon Arnold runs to all-state honors in cross country TERRE HAUTE — West Noble’s Brandon Arnold had a singular goal at Saturday’s Indiana High School Athletic Association cross country state finals: finish in the top 20 and reach the podium.

Mission accomplished.

Arnold just made it, taking 20th place and the last podium spot at 15:58.6 on the Lavern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course at the Wabash Valley Sports Center.

Arnold is a junior and will have a chance to improve his standing in the state next year. He was the only West Noble runner to qualify for state following a great season by the entire West Noble cross country teams.

West Noble’s Arnold was one of the runners to finish just ahead of Panning, and really ran the race he had to run to give himself a chance to get on the podium, said Chargers coach Rusty Emmert.

There were a cluster of people in that last kilometer and he picked off a few.

“Brandon ran a smart, tough race. He did what he needed to do and made it happen. I’m proud of him.”

Terre Haute South senior Jackson Bertoli won the individual title with a time of 15:32.4.

Carmel won the state title with 64 points. Columbus North (78) was second.
