75 cents Garrett, Indiana Established in 1885
City raising electricity rates By Sue Carpenter scarpenter@kpcmedia.net GARRETT — Garrett electric utility users will see an increase in rates beginning in 2014. Consultant Rod Sibery of Spectrum Engineering presented findings from a cost-of-service study to the Garrett Common Council Tuesday. Sibery said he used the 12 months from June 1, 2012, through May 31, 2013, as a test year for the study. He presented figures showing the city’s revenue requirement for the utility at $8.98 million
for the period, with operating revenues at $7.31 million, resulting in a deficit of $1.67 million. The last study was conducted in 1981, Sibery said. Of the revenue requirements, 72 percent goes to purchase power through Indiana Michigan Power Co., with the remainder for meter reading, substation and infrastructure maintenance, truck and equipment replacement and other capital improvement costs. Sibery said the average Garrett resident using 1,000 kilowatthours per month would see an

increase of $22.97 per month, or 30 percent. Customers using 500 kilowatt-hours would see a $6.06 per month increase or a 13 percent rate hike. The study listed Garrett as having 2,894 residential users, 161 commercial single-phase users, 128 three-phase commercial users, 27 three-phase small power customers, 70 outside security lighting users and municipal street lights. Failure to keep the utility solvent could result in it being sold to another utility, Sibery said. The
proposed rates would line up with the current I&M purchase power agreement. Council members said they were not excited about another utility rate increase, but all acknowledged the need. Amanda Charles said the $23 increase on top of other recent increases all adds up. Brad Stump said he is happy the council members understand the need for the rate hike, no matter how unpopular. “We all say we hate this,” Stump said. “The deficit has

BY KATHRYN BASSETT kbassett@kpcmedia.com AUBURN —A DeKalb County jury will hear the case of a former local police officer who is accused of obtaining military surplus items through his department and selling some of them for personal gain. Sean L. Kahkola, of the 15000 block of Towne Park Run, Huntertown, is charged with two counts of theft, both Class D felonies. Kahkola had been a Garrett police officer from 1997 through 2005. He joined the Auburn Police Department in Kahkola 2005 and resigned from the Auburn force April 16, 2012. Monday, Kahkola, his attorney, Kevin Likes, and special prosecutor Joe Rowe appeared for a final pre-trial conference in DeKalb Superior Court I. The parties did not reach a plea agreement, and Judge Kevin Wallace confirmed a two-day jury trial will begin Dec. 3. According to court documents, in 2005, Kahkola helped the Auburn Police Department obtain a 1988 Chevy pickup through a program that gives police departments items the federal government no longer wants, free of charge. By Jan. 5, 2006, Kahkola was listed on the truck’s title as its

Altona hears unsafe home, abated property updates By Sue Carpenter scarpenter@kpcmedia.com ALTONA —The Altona Town Board heard updates on an unsafe building and an abated property at its Monday meeting. Clerk-treasurer Terry Whan said an offer has been made to purchase a vacant home at 1405 W. Quincy St. owned by Jerome Grams. The board previously filed a Nov. 15 deadline for Grams to respond to the board’s complaint under the the town’s unsafe building ordinance. Grams has not appeared at any meetings nor responded to the situation. If the real estate transaction
is not completed by that date, the town will pursue demolition of the property where neighbors complain of rats and raccoons living in the home and creeping on to their properties, and moldy conditions. The town would be responsible for paying back taxes and demolition costs under this situation. The potential buyer has been in contact with Whan and said he plans to demolish the structure and build a pole building in which to store heavy equipment. Under this scenario, the town will not incur any expenses and the new owner would have 60 days to clean up

been going on for many years. Most citizens don’t realize taxes collected do not pay for any utilities — they live and die by the rates they collect.” Charles asked for assurance the city would not be facing similar rate increases in two years. City attorney Dan Brinkerhoff said the wastewater utility rate ordinance includes language requiring the rates to be reviewed on an annual basis, and he said the
Horsemen break ground for Draft Animal Museum By Sue Carpenter scarpenter@kpcmedia.com AUBURN — Members of the DeKalb Horsemen’s Association held a groundbreaking ceremony Sunday for a new 100-by-60-foot barn and 40-by-60-foot office building that will become the Draft Animal Museum just south of Auburn. Association president Myron Stackhouse shared the association’s vision with dozens of people assembled in a sunny, grassy area near a pond as a swan swam silently on the water. The group always has had a dream to one day build a barn — to have some farmland on which to build a museum. Sunday, that dream came true, Stackhouse said. The buildings will house the association’s antique farm equipment, 10 wagons and other assorted implements. The club has used the draft horses to plant wheat and soybeans and hopes in the future to grow
corn in patches, where children can come and watch the process from plowing to harvesting as an educational project, Stackhouse said. Stackhouse said they hope to one day build an arena in which to show animals and maybe add another barn for horses and perhaps a petting zoo. He thanked major donors “who made it all happen” including the Rick and Vicki James Foundation, Dekko Foundation, The Andersons Charitable Foundation, The Mary C. & Perry F. Spencer Foundation; Joe Witmer and hundreds of other individual donors. Funds were started more than seven years ago, according to association secretary-treasurer Mark Carunchia. “We got involved in some farm opportunities and saved as much as we could,” Carunchia said. “We had a pretty good surplus Horsemen, Page 6

Kiwanis Holiday Loaf on sale A total of 47 area businesses are now selling Holiday Loaf for $4 each to support Children First. Auburn Kiwanis Club members began baking the pumpkin-flavored loaves this weekend at Auburn Presbyterian Church. In 1971, baker Erton Manon offered his recipe to Kiwanis as a fundraising project to benefit Children First. Volunteers from both organizations have partnered to bake, wrap and sell “pumpkin bread” in area communities. Many local businesses agree to sell the bread on behalf of Kiwanis, with proceeds benefiting Children First. “It’s good for the community, because the proceeds support services to children and families. My customers like having the opportunity to purchase
it while in the store, and having Holiday Loaf available encourages shoppers,” said Karen Butler, owner of Auburn’s Legacy Hallmark: “It’s a win/win for the entire community.” For the past two years Hart’s in Waterloo has sold the most loaves. Businesses where Holiday Loaf is sold: Ashley: Farmers State Bank; Auburn: A Cut Above, Auburn Chrysler, Auburn City Hardware, Beacon Credit Union, Ben Davis Ford, Buttermore Appliance, Campbell & Fetter Bank, Carbaugh Jewelers, Classic City NAPA, Community State Bank, Farmers & Merchants Bank, Heimach Center, DeKalb County Council on Aging, Legacy

Horsemen from Page 1 from farming” to put a sizable down payment on the property — which includes 28 acres and a pond. A small mortgage remains, he said. In 2010 the fund held $5,000 in seed money. Since then, more than $130,000 has been added to the fund. “We are well underway,” Carunchia said. Harshman shared the history of the association that now numbers 76 members and more than 30 teams of horses. Some members own horses, some do not. It is not a requirement for membership, he said, only that members maintain the group’s goal, which is now focused on educating youth and adults about “what these heavy horses can do. “This is one of the ways we are going to do it here, by farming with horses,” Harshman said. The original group started in the 1930s “with a few gentlemen to promote the breeding draft horses, and to go out to dinner,” Harshman said. “They would hold meetings and then go eat.

Association, incorporated, according to Harshman. With eight to 15 members, dues were 50 cents a year, and Harry Provines was the first president. The club met on a quarterly basis at that time. In about 1970, they began meeting on a bimonthly basis, raising dues to $1 per
year. “But they still had the same adage, the same principal, to promote the breeding of draft horses,” Harshman said. The association’s tradition will continue through public service educational programs, demonstrations,
draft animal shows, funeral service assistance, 4-H club involvement and horsedrawn services for both public and private events covering all 12 months of the calendar year. Supporters and association officers lined up to dig the first shovelfuls of dirt for the project. They included

Altona from Page 1 street can see is trash. Easterday said he “didn’t know what the big deal was” about the items accumulated in the grass on his corner property, which at one time included a boats and other vehicles. He plans to build a temporary pole barn in which to store the items. What said the board will continue to monitor the situation and asked Easterday to submit plans for the proposed structure. The town does not have a plan commission or zoning board for such approval. Residents also complained about a huge population of feral cats in town. Whan said approval has been given to set live traps for the animals, with hope that the county shelter might take them in. A wage and salary ordinance was passed giving the three board members $32.50 for each meeting they attend; the clerk-treasurer a $7,800 annual salary; the abatement officer would
be paid $600 annually, and hired help would be paid a $10-13-per-hour wage. The board also passed resolutions to: • remove funds from Garrett State Bank to Peoples Federal Savings Bank. Any certificates of deposit will be moved when they mature to avoid penalty fees; and • allow the 4-H Cloverleafs, and a new Boy Scout Troop to meet in the town hall building on a regular basis through 2014. Whan also reported salt and sand has been ordered for the streets this winter, and that alleys have been graded and potholes have been filled. The town also purchased two properties at a recent sheriff’s sale totalling $1,076.84 paid from the Riverboat funds. No tax or railroad money was used for the purchase, Whan said. Plans are to clear the properties and get them back on the tax roll.
Electric from Page 1 same would be done for the electric rates. “I hope you and your successors adopt that philosophy, and we won’t have to do this again,” Brinkerhoff said of the sizable increase. A public hearing on the proposed rates will be scheduled in November with hopes of introducing the ordinance at a December meeting. Mayor Tonya Hoeffel encouraged anyone with questions to attend the meeting. In other business Tuesday, the council approved a confirming resolution to grant an eight-year tax abatement to F & H Associates, Walt Fuller, for real estate improvements at Adventure Homes. Ken McCrory, director of the DeKalb County
Economic Development Partnership, summarized the project. It would add 18,180 square feet to the north and east ends of the existing Adventure Homes building on Fuller Drive in Garrett’s Industrial Park. The $375,000 in improvements would provide room to expand the industry’s drywall operation at the site. An additional 25 jobs would be created over the next three years, McCrory said. The tax reduction would not reduce any current taxes paid or new equipment purchases, he said. The council also introduced and adopted an ordinance adjusting wages for police officers working in the Operation Pullover Seat Belt Enforcement Program to $35 per hour.

Reneau pleaded guilty to theft, a Class D felony, as part of a plea agreement filed in DeKalb Superior Court I.

Reneau had been a sergeant with the Garrett Police Department until he resigned in July 2012. He had been with the department for 18 years. Reneau was accused of selling two portable, gas-powered generators owned by the city of Garrett to another Garrett resident for $100. According to court documents, Reneau never repaid the city of Garrett the money he made from selling the generators and had not received permission to sell them.
