The Silver Screen Cinema will reopen this weekend after being closed for several months.
Silver Screen reopens this weekend GARRETT — The Silver Screen Cinema in downtown Garrett will reopen this weekend after being dark for nearly a year. Owner Bruce Babbitt said he plans to keep the theater open until film is no longer available. He anticipated distributors will stop offering 35 mm prints after the first of the year. If business is not good enough to remain open until then, he plans to close it again and “it’s back to the drawing board,” he added. “The theater will be open on weekends only unless we are contractually obligated to run fulltime,” he said. Babbitt is still working on new ticket prices, but they should still be close to what was charged when the theater closed last year. Babbitt is in the process of cleaning, stocking and testing the equipment this week. “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2” rated PG,will be shown Friday through Sunday at 7:15 p.m. with a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday and Sunday.

MERRILLVILLE — NIPSCO said Tuesday that with normal winter temperatures, its customers’ heating bills will be approximately 1 percent higher than last winter’s bills — and some of the lowest bills in the last decade. Over the course of the five-month winter heating season — Nov. 1 to March 31 — NIPSCO’s average residential customers using a total of 624 therms of natural gas could expect to pay approximately $437. That compares to $433 for a customer using the same amount of gas during last winter. NIPSCO’s projections take into market forecasts, supply trends and storage levels, among other considerations. NIPSCO said has among the lowest residential gas bills in Indiana, according to comparisons released monthly by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission. The utility said actual bills will vary by customer depending on a home’s age and size, the number in the household, number and age of gas appliances, thermostat settings and insulation levels. “Natural gas continues to be one of the lowest-cost, most reliable and abundant energy sources for customers,” said NIPSCO CEO Jim Stanley. “The outlook on natural gas prices and domestic supplies remain stable for the foreseeable future, which is great news as we head toward the winter heating season.” While winter bill amounts are projected to be relatively flat compared to last winter, the

Daniel Casey Brown, 36, of the 1100 block of South Cowen Street, was booked into the DeKalb County Jail on a charge of arson, a Class B felony. He was held on $5,000 bond. According to court papers, a domestic dispute led to Sunday’s incident. Sunday morning, a homeowner went into his barn in the 3200 block of C.R. 63
and found Brown allegedly hiding in a vehicle with a loaded shotgun. The man, who knew Brown, went back into his home to let a family member know what he had observed. At some point, Brown left the car and laid the shotgun on the ground, according to DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department Deputy Lee Stoy. The homeowner retrieved the shotgun and returned it to his home, where he unloaded it. The homeowner told police that when he came back outside, he observed Brown throwing cinder blocks at the
truck and that it was on fire. According to court documents, Brown allegedly admitted to damaging and setting fire to the truck with a lighter because he was angry with the woman.

Band to compete in ISSMA Open Class Invite Saturday GARRETT — The Railroader Regiment will participate in the first ISSMA Open Class Invitational Saturday at Fort Wayne Homestead at 6:48 p.m. This year’s show, entitled “Nightswimming” is based around the song by R.E.M. The other selections in the show all have something to do with the night sky. The remaining songs are “Pursuit,” “Mars,” “Jupiter,” “Moonlight Sonata,” “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” and “O’ Holy Night.” Drum Majors are Alexa Davis and Erik Savage. In previous years, Indiana schools could choose to compete in Festival or District band competitions. Festival Class is judged differently than District in several ways. The main focus of Festival Class was to give new or rebuilding bands a chance to compete for a Gold Rating. Show times are 4 to 6 minutes for Festival bands. District bands were 6 to 10 minutes. The requirement to receive a Gold Rating was set much lower for the Festival bands. District bands that received
a Gold Rating continued on to Regionals the following weekend where they competed for a higher level Gold Rating and a chance to qualify for Semi-State and State Finals. Starting with the 2013 season, ISSMA eliminated the District round for Open Class and added a new class of bands called Scholastic Class. Scholastic class was intended for established programs with smaller bands and limited resources. Class D and C bands with less than 65 total members and B and A bands with less than 125 members may choose to enter Scholastic Class. A Gold Rating in Scholastic Class qualifies the band for Scholastic Class Finals. Scholastic Class bands are judged similar to the old District format. Those bands that choose to enter Open Class are competing at the highest level. The ultimate goal for an Open Class band is to reach the State Finals and compete for the State Championship in their class. District was eliminated and bands go straight to Regional Competition.
ISSMA also is offering an Open Class Invitational for those bands that want to compete is an ISSMA sanctioned event before Regionals. This Invitational is for Ratings only and does not affect the ability of the band to compete at Regional. Bands that receive a gold Rating at this Invitational qualify for the marching band portion of the all music award. “At Garrett, we chose to compete in the Open Class format,” said director Paul Marlow. “Our students work very hard all season and they want to challenged by the competition that Open Class presents. “Our students would have been very disappointed if we had made the choice to go Scholastic. We did decide to take the opportunity to be judged by an ISSMA panel at the Open Class Invitational. District has always been a special day for the Regiment and this sort of feels like District. The point total is the same and its even at Homestead. The band is very focused for this contest,” he added.

AUBURN — The Auburn Kiwanis Club will begin sales of its holiday loaf Nov. 1, said Eugene Fuhrer, Children First board member and chair of the annual fundraiser. The first loaves will come out of the oven Thursday, Oct. 31, at about 9:30 p.m. Members anticipate baking 5,000 loaves the first weekend with another 3,000 the second. Loaves will be on sale for $4 apiece beginning Nov. 1 at the Auburn Presbyterian Church at the corner of Twelfth and Jackson streets in Auburn. Auburn Kiwanis has partnered with Children First for more than 40 years to prepare, bake and sell holiday loaf, with the proceeds donated by the Auburn Kiwanis to Children First. “On behalf of the Auburn Kiwanis Club, I would like to extend to you an invitation to try Holiday Loaf,” said Fuhrer. “For 42 years, the Auburn Kiwanis have had the privilege of baking this holiday favorite. Perhaps the best part, second only to holiday loaf itself, is that the funds raised by this event go back into our own local communities by supporting Children First. “A successful event is dependent upon everyone in northeast Indiana supporting this once-a-year treat with their kind purchases of Holiday Loaf. We are truly blessed that we live in such generous communities,” he added. Children First operates in five counties of northeast Indiana: DeKalb, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben and Whitley.
“At its core, Children First is dedicated to helping families and children grow and develop to their fullest potential through available resources, referrals, education and proactive programming,” said executive director Pat Zakula. “Our mission is to help children become all they can possibly be. Please be assured that supporting us is raising your voice for healthier kids, happier families and stronger communities.” Proceeds from the annual holiday loaf sale help fund programs at Children First. All programs are based on the premise that all parents want the best for their children and the organization seeks to partner with parents to help children thrive in school and in their communities. Children First has a wealth of resources, expertise, knowledge and materials that are of value to everyone who has children, the organization said. It is Children First’s desire to ensure that through intervention, prevention and education, more people become aware of the best practice recommendations on how to be great parents. Children First said great parents create a strong family unit, better decisionmaking, fewer crisis situations and a more stable home environment. A stable home positively supports children in their academic endeavors and may lead to improved school performance. Children First said strong families make strong communities.

CHURCH NEWS
Altona from Page 1 vehicles on the property a few months ago when notified by officials earlier this year. Since the public hearing, a ‘for sale’ sign has been posted on a tree in front of the home with Grams’ contact information. No price was listed on the sign. Monday’s discussion centered on the cost for demolition of the structure and if the town should consider purchasing the home and tearing it down. Town board manager Terry Whan said if the home is purchased by someone else prior to the Nov. 15 deadline, the unsafe building process would have to begin from scratch once more, taking months, possibly years, to get the matter resolved. Whan said he had hoped to have the structure torn down by the end of the year. The town has been working on the situation since June 2011 and recently adopted an unsafe building ordinance to support the effort. Whan said the town coffers still hold about $200,000 from an estimated $350,000 settlement with CSX Railroad for the removal of the Altona Bridge in 1998. The town has also recouped some $20,000 from the state from alleged mishandling of funds by a former town official, and some Riverboat funds that are not yet appropriated. Residents complained that by purchasing the home, the town would encourage
others to walk away from homes in bad repair. Whan pointed out if the town buys the property, they could go ahead and tear it down for a cost that might be less than legal fees should new owners take over. Grams is current on the property taxes. Both Whan and fellow board member Dallas Hicks said no matter how the situation is handled, some people might not like the outcome. “We have got to move fast as we can, and keep the ball rolling,” Whan said. At least two more homes are also targeted under the unsafe building ordinance. Audience members also asked about properties that should be abated as nuisances, including cars parked in yards and other eyesores. Rose Swank, a former Altona clerk-treasurer, attended Monday’s meeting, her first for a long time. “I live next to junk,” she said of her neighbor’s home in the 1400 block of West King St., owned by Dave Easterday who was also attending the meeting. Easterday moved to the home about four years ago, Swank said after the meeting. He has otherwise been a nice neighbor. “I ever complained before,” she said. “But one thing led to another.” At first, the corner property had boats and cars parked in the yard, she said, But for the past several
months, a continuous yard sale has littered the property will all sorts of merchandise stacked on tables and under makeshift vinyl canopies. Easterday told the board he planned to continue the sale this weekend as long as the weather holds out. When asked by the board if that means it will be the last, Easterday replied Indian summer might be on the way. He told the board he had six storage units to clean out, and is down to only 2 ½. Easterday became defensive when a resident referred to his merchandise as junk. He turned the table on Whan, claiming his home looked worse due to vehicles on blocks and in various states of disrepair in his yard. Whan responded he has already gone to court and won the case regarding the vehicles. A verbal back-and-forth continued between the pair, with Whan, who also serves as the towns abate officer, giving Easterday until the end of the month to clean up his yard. The board also discussed plans to possibly improve sidewalks and curbs in town. “Why spend a lot of money on sidewalks and curbs when the houses are in need of repair?” asked one resident. Whan said they were working on the problem. Town board member Chris Seely was not present for Monday’s session.

NIPSCO from Page 1 company expects usage amounts to be slightly higher. Last winter’s usage ws lower than normal due to warmer temperatures during some months. The cost of natural gas represents the largest portion of customer bills — on average, two-thirds of an overall bill. NIPSCO said it has no mark-up and makes no profit on the cost of natural gas billed to its
Travel
customers. Before billing, natural gas commodity costs must be reviewed by the IURC. NIPSCO said it cannot control market conditions affecting the price of natural gas, but it does negotiate the best possible price for the natural gas it purchases for its customers. NIPSCO said it buys gas from a variety of supply sources at different times
throughout the year. The ability to store gas helps to offset market price swings, the utility said. NIPSCO’s gas distribution system consists of three on-system storage facilities. The utility connects to seven interstate pipelines, providing access to eight major North American supply basins.

in sectional competition since a 2011 loss to Warsaw. The Warriors outscored their opponents 29-0 on the way to their last two sectional titles. “We wanted to make sure we possessed the ball,” explained Westview coach Jon Jantzi. “Garrett had some fast forwards in the front line. We couldn’t give them an inch, they’d take a mile.” Westview advances to meet Lakeland in semifinal play on Thursday at Westview with a 7 p.m. start. Lakeland was able to move on with a 2-0 win over Bethany Christian. Thursday’s other girls semifinal game will feature West Noble and Central Noble at 5 p.m. The Cougars defeated Lakewood Park by a 5-0 margin in a first-round
game on Monday. Westview 3, Garrett 0 Garrett closes the season with an 8-8-1 record. “It was a tough first round for us, we drew the best team in the sectional,” explained Garrett coach Austin Freels. “A couple of shots slipped through our hands early and that hurt us.” It took the Warriors less than four minutes to get on the scoreboard. Riley Hochstetler fired a long shot that went in and out of the hands of the Railroader keeper for a 1-0 margin. “We knew we had the opportunity to take some shots from the outside,” Jantzi said. “We talk about five minutes of pressure right off the bat and try to get that first goal.” Tessa Zimmerly added a
score on a penalty kick and Steph Mowery also struck before the half, sending the Warriors to the break with a 3-0 lead. Neither team scored in the second half. Westview took honors in the NECC tournament for the fifth-straight season, earned the NECC regular season title, and took the squad’s first outright title in the Northern Indiana Soccer Conferenence. “That’s a pretty good year,” Jantzi said. Westview beat Lakeland during regular season play, but Jantzi knows the Lakers will come prepared to play on Thursday. “They’ll play hard and come out with intensity,” he said. “We won’t take them lightly, take it just like a championship game.”

BY JAMES FISHER jfisher@kpcmedia.com EMMA — Grace St. Clair never looked bored. But the Westview goalkeeper didn’t have a lot to keep her occupied on the way to a shutout performance over Garrett. A stingy defense in front of the Warrior keeper wouldn’t allow that. The Warriors took their string of sectional shutouts to six games with a 3-0 victory over Garrett on Tuesday in semifinal play at the Westview girls soccer sectional. “It makes me feel good when I rarely have to touch the ball during a game,” St. Clair said. “I just go out and try to do my best.” Westview, which is aiming for a third-straight title, hasn’t given up a goal

Boys top CN in sectional opener By Phil Friend pfriend@kpcmedia.com GARRETT — Members of the Garrett boys soccer team didn’t let the result against Central Noble one week ago get to their heads in preparation for Monday’s Class A Sectional 38 showdown. Just seven days after the Railroaders beat the Cougars by seven goals, Garrett was on the front foot for the final 60 minutes in Monday’s contest, a 7-1 victory for the host school. The Railroaders (11-3-1) move on to play Hamilton in Wednesday’s sectional semifinal. “We kind of had to go into it thinking they weren’t one of our old opponents. We thought about it as they’re the best team in the state because everybody’s got the same record,” said Garrett senior Dayton Sweet. “We just took it as a game we had to go into thinking these guys are going to be tough, and have a better chance of finishing it.” Garrett has now won six straight matches and eight of nine overall. Garrett’s two big guns, seniors Karsten Cooper and Sweet, didn’t disappoint. Both scored two goals apiece and Sweet had two assists in the win. Fellow classmate Blake Western also had a hand in the victory, matching Cooper and Sweet with two goals
apiece. “We started to wear down their defense, so we started to play in a wider space and make them run more. It kind of came in our favor when it mattered the most,” Sweet said. “I think all of us work together. I can’t put the credit on just one of us. If I didn’t have my teammates, I wouldn’t be able to do what I did.” Sweet now has 19 goals and four assists on the year, and Cooper has 17 goals and six assists. Central Noble coach Brian Rexroad knew the challenges the Cougars would face, especially in defending Sweet and Cooper. In the match a week ago, Sweet had four goals and Cooper two goals. “They always do a good job,” Rexroad said. “I hate to tell my team to focus on a couple of guys because as soon as we do that, somebody else opens up. They’re great players, but it’s one of those things where you’re happy to see them go.” Central Noble (3-12) nearly took the lead 14 minutes in when Connor McCoy set up Alex Cole from close range, but Cole’s shot was saved by goalkeeper Reiley Pugh. The Railroaders would grab the lead in the 21st minute courtesy of Cooper, who made a nifty run through the Cougar defense,
dribbling about 2/3 of the way down the pitch and eventually sliding a shot past keeper Zachary Rexroad for the 1-0 advantage. Garrett scored again just before halftime on a goal by Sweet to take a 2-0 lead into the break. The Railroaders put the match away in the first 10 minutes of the second half, scoring three goals in six minutes to take a 5-0 lead. In the 44th minute, Western volleyed home a pass from Sweet to make it 3-0, and three minutes later Chris Colby put in a shot off a rebound from a Cooper shot to make it 4-0. Three minutes after that, Western scored again off a long-throw in for a 5-0 lead. It was Colby’s first goal of the year, and Western had six goals entering Monday’s match. “It’s not like Central Noble’s going to come over here and just quit,” said Garrett coach Doug Klopfenstein. “At halftime it was 2-0 and I just told the boys it’s a battle of attrition, just keep going. We’re working the ball well, passing well and hopefully we’ll wear them down a little bit and that’s what kind of happened.” Central Noble got in the board in the 58th minute, when McCoy drew a foul in the penalty b0x and hit the ensuing penalty kick to cut the lead to 5-1.

Garrett’s Karsten Cooper (9) gets past Central Noble’s Ethan Cavanaugh in Monday’s Class A Sectional 38 contest. Cooper scored two goals in the Railroaders’ 7-1 victory. differently. We’re looking to rebuild next year and see how things go. Hopefully, we can get some of these younger guys to step up.” Garrett defeated Hamilton 4-0 back on Sept. 9. “We’ve got to go in the same way we went in to this one,” Klopefenstein said. “When we played them, that was a long time ago and has no effect on what happens Wednesday. “It’s a good win for us. We’ve not won very many sectional games in our history.”
In the 61st minute, Sweet scored off a rebound from a Cooper shot, and Cooper scored the match’s final goal seven minutes after that. Rexroad expressed disappoint at the team’s final 3-12 record. The Cougars have nine seniors on the team, six of which started Monday. “We had some high expectations and some things just didn’t go our way,” Rexroad said. “We didn’t get the ball to drop our way and we probably could’ve done some things
