Rep. Pond resigns for health reasons NEW HAVEN — State Rep. Phyllis Pond, R-New Haven, announced Friday that she is resigning effective Oct. 15, due to her recent diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis. Pond, 82, has served in the Indiana House of Representatives since 1978. Until 2012, her district included portions of southern DeKalb County Her decision to resign will set in motion a Pond Republican caucus to choose a replacement to finish her term. “Phyllis has been a pillar of strength throughout her career as a state representative dating back to 1978,” Speaker of the House Brian Bosma said in a statement Friday. “As a former kindergarten teacher, her insight has been invaluable in all of the education policies that we have enacted throughout her tenure here.” Bosma added, “Her legacy will continue to be remembered through the many pieces of legislation she has been involved with over the years including the Primetime Education Bill that lowered class sizes to 18 in kindergarten through the third grade as well as providing class sizes larger than 18 with a teacher’s aide.” He said Pond “forged a new path for women legislators in Indiana.”

Auxiliary president Donna Walker named comrades and ladies auxiliary members who died in the past two years followed by the ringing of a bell by Dick Sleeper from the Post. Members from the VFW District were on hand for the program that also celebrated the renovation of the building at 118

ACD Festival leader dies of heart attack By Dave Kurtz dkurtz@kpcmedia.com AUBURN — Jack Randinelli, a founding father of the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival, died unexpectedly Sunday morning on the festival’s final day. Friends said Randinelli suffered a heart attack at his home in Auburn at age 74. Thursday at the festival’s opening event, Randinelli had received an award for his 50th year of serving as a volunteer for the classic-car celebration. Saturday afternoon, he drove his 1932 Auburn automobile in the festival’s Parade of Classics, carrying the parade’s grand marshal, Wayne Carini, host of the “Chasing Classic Cars” television series. In public life, Randinelli had served as a member of Auburn’s Board of Public Works and Safety since 2000. “Auburn is a better place to live because of Jack Randinelli,” said Mayor Norm Yoder, who chose Randinelli for the board. Like many of Randinelli’s friends, Yoder learned of his death during the awards luncheon for the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Club, Sunday morning in the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum. ACD Club member Dick Greene of New Jersey said he had breakfast at Randinelli’s home Sunday, then left for the museum only minutes before his friend died. “I don’t think the impact of losing him will be realized,” immediately, Greene said, until a full year of ACD events goes by without Randinelli’s presence.

Distinguished alumni from Page 1 time in Fort Wayne, she and her husband decided to complete their family by adopting their fourth child from San Antonio, their son Rey. In 1970, her family embarked on a new adventure at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon. The six of them started out and camped their way along the Oregon Trail to return to school once again. Living in the Northwest was an excellent experience for the whole family. As a farming community, Corvallis had a lot in common with her Midwest childhood, while Oregon added mountains and the Pacific Ocean coast. While her husband completed an EDD in Vocational Education, she earned her PHD in Psychology, Anthropology and Education. After years as a school psychologist, the apex of her career was being appointed assistant director of the Family Practice Residency Program, as well as Director of Behavior Science at the Saginaw campus for Michigan State University’s College of Human Medicine in East Lansing. Concurrently, she served as assistant professor at MSU where her responsibilities included training medical students and family practice residents how to assess and treat psychological and social issues of patients.

During these years, she served on various professional boards, such as at the local women’s shelter and Insight for Addictions. In 1997, she decided to concentrate solely on her private practice as a psychologist. At the same time she enjoyed creating and presenting a variety of workshops and seminars. After retiring in 2004 and moving to Ohio, she used her new-found time to explore more volunteer interests, such as Habitat for Humanity, Hospice and back to Head Start. She also continued working on an occasional basis as a life coach. She finally found time to pursue some creative hobbies, starting with drawing and painting classes and continues to enjoy her lifelong passion for reading all kinds books, writing poetry and traveling. Her children have settled in four different corners of the US — Atlanta, Los Angeles, Ohio and Washington State. They all have professional degrees and are well-employed. She is currently preparing to start a new adventure and relocate back to the Pacific Northwest, moving to Vancouver, Wash. which is close her my daughter. In high school she wanted to become a physician, but was discouraged from pursuing that career because she was a woman. Her

college dream was to become a professor and teach at the university level, but raising a family and frequent household moves prevented her from realizing this dream. Yet in 1975, the door was opened when she earned my doctorate degree, which led to er becoming a professor at Michigan State University’s College of Medicine and teaching medical doctors. “My story has a moral — Never Give Up your Dreams,” she said. The three inductees and/ or family representatives will speak with students during a school-wide assembly from 8:30-9:30 a.m. on Sept. 13, then visit high school classrooms in the afternoon. A tailgate party hosted by Miller’s Merry Manor will be from 5:30-6:30 p.m. where Garrett High School students will be serving cake. Presentation of Hall of Honor inductees will be during halftime of the football game on Memorial Field. Criteria for selection requires nominees be a Garrett High School graduate, living or deceased; at least 10 years must elapse since graduation and eligibility; and must have made an impact or contribution in one of three areas: civic/patriotic service; humanitarian or professional field.

Big Train rolls over DeKalb By MARK MURDOCK markm@kpcmedia.com GARRETT — Garrett couldn’t control the result of its first game during the second week of the football regular season. The Railroaders could only work to be better the next time they played. Garrett fans enjoyed a job well done, as the Railroaders dominated in the trenches on both sides of the ball in a 34-0 victory over county rival DeKalb. Garrett’s ground game was the story, chewing up yardage and clock with three long scoring drives. Bryit Sumner rushed for 112 yards on 26 carries and scored three touchdowns. The Railroaders (1-1) held the ball for nearly 31 of the 48 minutes and did not punt. The Barons (0-2) showed some spark early on offense, but gained only one first down after the first quarter against Garrett’s first defensive unit, which set up the the team’s final two

scores with takeaways. “The offensive line was the strength of our team last week,” Garrett coach Chris DePew said. “We just shot ourselves in the foot, and didn’t tackle and weren’t physical. They committed to getting better. “We have a team without a lot of experience, so every game we play is a classroom. They learned the last seven days. They got better. The offensive line has been leading us.” DeKalb is in much the same situation with new faces through the lineup. The Barons are also learning in the midst of a tough start. “Give credit to Garrett, they really came out swinging,” DeKalb coach Mike DeVos said. “They were ready to go. “Both sides of the ball, we’ve got to be more consistent. We put together a couple drives and had a couple great stops on defense. We just have to be more consistent.”

Garrett got rolling with a 70-yard, nine-play drive. Bo Davis burst up the middle on a 21-yard touchdown run to start the scoring. On its next possession, Garrett used nearly 6 1/2 minutes to drive 56 yards in 13 plays, with Sumner covering the final 7 for the score and a 14-0 halftime lead. The Railroaders didn’t permit the Barons any hope in the second half. “We played a much better second half. We finished the game,” DePew said. “We shot ourselves in the foot a couple of times, and DeKalb could have taken advantage of that.” Instead, Garrett took advantage of good field position. After an 11-play drive stalled in Baron territory, the Railroader got the ball back on the DeKalb side of the field, and a 48-yard, nine-play march ensued, with Sumner scoring on a short run to make it 20-0. Davis’ interception and return to the DeKalb 23 set up Garrett for another score. Davis scored his second touchdown on an 8-yard pass from Noah Follett. Kicker Karsten Cooper, who kept the Barons on their toes with well-placed kickoffs all night, then hit one the way he hits his golf shots in the spring, with the ball biting inches from the DeKalb goal line. Cam Buttermore was forced to run with it and was tackled at the 5. Blake Davis recovered a Baron fumble at the 2, leading to Sumner’s final TD.

Garrett quarterback Noah Follett fights for yardage against DeKalb defenders Jordan Isaac (1), Ross Thompson (67) and Chad Ramus (87) in Friday’s game. The Railroaders won, 34-0. While Follett was able to mix in six completions, Garrett relies more on grinding out yards this season. The Railroaders don’t care how they do it, they just want to win, DePew said. “It’s been very unselfish, We threw a lot last year, and Noah Follett was an All-State candidate, threw for all kinds of yards. He hasn’t complained. The receivers don’t complain

about having to block more than catching the ball. “It’s a very tight team. They argue like brothers sometimes. They’re learning how to play the game, they’re learning how to lead, they’re learning how to work, they’re learning how to play at varsity speed, they’re learning how to be prepared.” DePew also praised the work of his coaching staff. “We’ve got a new

coaching staff and they’ve worked their tails off,” he said. “Assistant coaches don’t get very much credit. When a team gets better in a week like we did, the assistant coaches have a lot to do with that. “They put in all the hours. They meet for seven days a week of work. It’s a young coaching staff without a lot of experience, but they truly do an awesome job.”
