City hears drainage issues By Sue Carpenter scarpenter@kpcmedia.com GARRETT — The Garrett Board of Works Tuesday heard drainage issues associated with a proposed building project for Dollar General on the south end of town. County surveyor Mike Kline told the board the development plan for the project was subject to his explaining the impact to the city and the adjoining Jordan Wetlands on its western border. Kline reviewed findings made public at a city plan commission meeting for the proposed 9,100 squarefoot building situated on 2.16 acres in the 1300 block of South Randolph

Street. The county drainage board wants the city to understand the water would go through the wetland area and into the intersection on C.R. 11 (South Cowen St. extended). The additional water might be a slight increase to flooding in the area, Kline said, but in small amounts. “I did some quick number crunching,” and the detention pond at the rear of the building would hold 4,800 cu. feet, he said, causing one inch over an acre of ground if “everything dumped out there.” Kline asked for written indication for the record that the city was aware of the potential for flooding, as was

required by the plan commission in giving conditional approval for the project last month. In researching ways to alleviate possible flooding, Kline noted the elevations are too different and the tile is too small to help move water away from area properties including Deardorf Apartments and Garrett New Market. City attorney Dan Brinkerhoff said the city needed to have in the meeting minutes that the board acknowledges the advice of the drainage board and is aware of potential consequences. He added that the plan commission should include language that the owner be

The Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship covers full tuition and required fees for four years of full-time undergraduate study leading to a baccalaureate degree. It includes a stipend of up to $900 per year for required books and equipment. The recipient may attend any accredited Indiana public or private college or university.

Garrett couple recognized for helping area veterans By Sue Carpenter scarpenter@kpcmedia.com GARRETT — Whenever the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans or American Legion Riders gather, you can be sure Mike and Peggy Miller of Garrett will be there. They also volunteer their time to help with the 40 & 8 organization, serve as Patriot Guard Riders and assist with Quiet Knight, a veterans assistance program. For their efforts, the couple received an award Saturday as Veterans Advocates of the Year in DeKalb County. Veterans service officer Brian Lamm presented the award at American Legion Post 178 in Garrett. Each year, nominations are taken from the various veterans groups in the county, then a vote is taken from a ballot of nominees, according to Lamm. Mike Miller is a U.S. Navy veteran of the Vietnam War. He has always been involved in veterans’ causes, and his wife, Peggy, is at his side to help.

Miller is working to earn funds through karaoke and other programs at the Garrett Legion post to help purchase a new van for the Disabled American Veterans. A maximum number of miles has been set for the vans, so replacing them is always an issue. “Getting funds is rough,” he said. Miller was surprised to win the award Saturday. “I didn’t expect any recognition,” Miller said of working for veterans. “It needs to be done, and someone needs to do it.” The Millers were among 11 nominees for the Veterans Advocate of the Year award. Lamm said it recognizes outstanding support of veterans’ causes throughout the year. Other nominees were Ted Miller, Vicky Day, Todd Finan, Marion “Butch” Pickard, Kathy Griffin, Tom Bishop, Dennis Nester, Richard Pickard, Bonnie Lamm and Jason Carol. Lamm said Kenneth Graham, 99, of Butler once again ranks as DeKalb County’s oldest veteran. Graham served in World War II

No matter what kind of day Kathy is having, she always puts a smile on her face and everyone else’s face. Kathy is they type of person who goes out of her way to make someone’s day and that is the type of person I would love to become.

Student interns for healthcare clinic My name is Emily Somers and I interned at St. Martins Health Care Clinic in Garrett. I decided to complete the Professional Internship program because I thought it would give me a good head start for reaching my college and professional goals in the dental field. A little information about the tasks I complete is that I watch a lot of patients with dental pains get their teeth examined to figure out what is wrong. I have also watched cavities get filled and teeth get pulled. I am interested in becoming a dental hygienist when I am older. My favorite part of my internship is seeing all of the people come in. Everyone who comes in is so thankful for a place like St. Martin’s and always has a positive attitude, and once in a while they give me a good laugh. The people who come in to St. Martin’s really know how to brighten someone’s day without even trying. Throughout my internship, I have a learned a lot of business etiquette. I have learned how to fax papers, file charts, communicate

Garrett’s Tri Kappa Associates get ready to fill fall bags with treats for the residents at Miller Merry Manor in Garrett.

Tri Kappa Associates gather in October By Connie Dicke The Garrett Associate Chapter of Tri Kappa Associates (Kappa Kappa Kappa) gathered for their monthly meeting on Oct.21 at Crackle Barrel in Auburn. President Johanna Byanski called the meeting to order with the opening song and verse. Recording Secretary Katrina Custer took attendance with 15 present including: Helen Finn, Alice Sheehan, Johanna Byanski, Pat Weimer, Phyllis Gerstner, Gretel Smith, Helen Wappes, Bev Babbitt, Margaret Griffin, Cleo Talley, Judy Casey, Connie Dicke, Suzi Higgins, Becky

Derrow and Jean Ross. Katrina read the previous month s minutes and they were approved as read. Treasurer Suzi Higgins gave the financial report and was approved as read. Corresponding Secretary Connie Dicke reported on the good response that the article in the newspapers has had with the donations toward the Chapter going Green. Vice President Phyllis Gerstner reported on the upcoming February nominations needed and their requirements for the State Scholarship. Fine Arts Gretel Smith gave a detailed report on the

Genealogy Center in Auburn and that Johanna had a showing of her handmade baskets and some collectibles. Gretel also spoke on the progress the Silver Screen, Auburn-Garrett Drive-In and Kendaville theaters trying to go digital and not black. Also the Garrett Museum of Art has a pottery show. Kudos were given to Katrina for her sales of the Active Chapter nuts and candies. Johanna passed out a copy of “Let Compassion Be Your Companion Everywhere You Go” for all her Sisters to read. The past Province X

Convention was discussed and how delightful and informative it was to those that attended. Katrina won the door prize. Johanna then closed the meeting with the Tri Kappa closing verse and all the Sisters stayed after to fill fall bags of treats for the residents of Garrett s Miller Merry Manor. October hostesses were Judy Casey, Becky Derrow and Cleo Talley and they had decorated the tables for fall, bagged candy treats for all, gave handmade cards by Becky to everyone and served CocaCola cake for dessert.

By State Sen. Dennis Kruse (R-Auburn) “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.” – Ronald Reagan Every Nov. 11 we celebrate Veterans Day. We pause to remember and honor all who have served this country and fought for our freedoms. It’s difficult to sum up our deep appreciation for American patriots and heroes on just this one day, because their sacrifice and dedication should be acknowledged every day of the year. In Indiana, the commitment to serving our country is engrained in our Hoosier roots. The Hoosier State has the sixth-largest National Guard and Reserve in the U.S. According to the Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs, there are nearly 550,000 veterans in Indiana – more than 33,000

of whom are women. In fact, 75 Hoosiers have been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for their courage and sacrifice. These service men and women are following in the footsteps of generations of Hoosier heroes. The freedoms each and every one of us enjoys should be cherished, because as former President Reagan noted they are never more than a generation away from extinction. That’s why we are so grateful for the men and women who sacrifice their lives to preserve the values and liberties we hold dear. It’s our duty to honor them any way we can, and Veterans Day is one way we can do so. May we never take our freedom – and their sacrifices – for granted. When you see someone in uniform or a veteran, please take the time to thank them for their service. May God bless our military veterans, their families and the United States of America. What do you think?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Seniors enjoy evening at annual ‘Bash’ To the editor: For several decades, once a year seniors and others in the DeKalb County area are offered an awesome and unique opportunity to enjoy a sort of “annual reunion” with hundreds of others by attending the Senior Bash. This year was no exception as over 300 gathered on Oct. 24 at the National Military History Center for a delicious meal catered by High’s Bar-B-Q & Catering. The folks were welcomed by sponsors, The Laurels of DeKalb and the DeKalb County Council on Aging. Prior to the start of the festivities United Way executive director Julie Hill-Lauer, board members and volunteers staffed a table to accept donations for this year’s COA United Way campaign. We are proud to share that over $2,420 was pledged/raised. The invocation by Pastor Lyle Ewing, pastor of Auburn Presbyterian

Church, inspired the group with his thoughtful words and prayer. And what event of this magnitude could ever be complete without the inspiring presentation of colors — ably done by legionnaires from the Butler American Legion Post 202. The 2013 United Way Campaign chairs David and Stacy Hefty and their four youngsters delighted everyone with their energetic support and “dancing skills.” Charly Butcher, WOWO’s famous morning newsman, was MC and helped to keep the evening’s activities moving along. Bob Burris, COA employee campaign chair, engineered a fun contest for the evening’s campaign donors with the end result being three lucky winners: Evelyn Simanton, Carolyn Healy and Carolin Carteaux. Many thanks to Smith Farms Manor for their generous donation. Metal Technologies Foundation also made it possible to award six lucky attendees with a $50 cash

prize each. WOW-MTI Foundation, you are awesome! Linda Bewley from Cancer Services provided cancer bracelets which were used as the attendees’ tickets for their meal. Several COA board members and volunteers staffed tables to greet the guests and accommodate meal requests. Pam Crone, Travel Time Senior Tours, provided information on many exciting upcoming trips. The agency’s Board of Directors Ways and Means Committee plus many volunteers including a crew from Serenity House made the set up, decorating and putting the museum’s “house” back in order “a piece of cake!” Kudos to the museum staff for their help and welcome. We can’t forget the COA employees especially Janel Whan and our DART drivers whose help made so many aspects of the event possible. The Star (especially Lisa

and Kathryn) provided their expertise in seeing that the event was well advertised. It was heartwarming to watch dancers in every corner of the party enjoying the music of the Junk Yard Band as they presented musical memories from the past. Note: DeKalb County really has some talented dancers! Dorothy Harvey joined “the party” allowing us to help her celebrate her 105th birthday! This annual celebration offers a chance to step away from the incredibly busy world we live in and to simply relax, enjoy the fellowship of neighbors and friends and have a little time to reassess what really matters in this all too hectic world. We hope those who were able to join us will consider attending the 2014 Bash and to those who were unable to come, you were missed, but maybe next year?! Meg Zenk DeKalb County Council on Aging

Teacher from Page 1 families and children,” Capin said shaking his head. “We were very lucky.” The West Virginia continued serving in the South Pacific for a few months, providing support for the Army and Marines at Okinawa and breaking up troop concentrations sheltering the enemy. In August, the West Virginia steamed toward Tokyo Bay. “We heard the war was over and that the Japanese would be signing (a surrender) any minute,” Capin said. “We were very excited.” The West Virginia can be seen in the distance in photographs depicting the signing the Instrument of Surrender that ended World War II. It was the only ship present that had been attacked at Pearl Harbor. Capin said they looked over portside to see the Japanese delegation climb on board the USS Missouri for the signing with Commander Douglas MacArthur and U.S. Rep. C.W. Nimitz, among others. The excitement of the return trip from Hawaii to San Diego heightened as the homeward bound banner flew in the wind, a two-foot white piece for every enlisted man on board, and a two-foot red piece of fabric

for every officer — there were 1,500 troops on the boat, he said. Capin was on board as the West Virginia made six more trips to Hawaii and back to bring home troops. Following their discharge from the service, Capin and a buddy hitchhiked from the west coast to Iowa, then Capin continued to Fort Wayne where his family owned a venetian blind business. He attended Manchester College on the GI Bill with a goal to become an insurance actuary. But his love of coaching and teaching took over, and he began his career as a physical education and math teacher and sports coach in 1954. Former student Ed Placencia recalls Capin using measurements from the West Virginia for math problems in the classroom. Capin’s recollection of the events are spot-on after nearly 70 years. During a trip to Washington D.C., Capin’s daughter Nancy Feagler shared that he was able to give historical facts about the war with such clarity, people around stopped to listen. Although he retired in 1968, Capin’s love of teaching carries on.
