Military Appreciation Week
Marion elects Jess
Grant County celebrates
Alumbaugh
mayor
Military Appreciation Week
By Amy Smelser
Over 100 local businesses will
honor American veterans with
discounted or free goods and
services during Grant County’s Military Appreciation
Week.
Active duty military, veterans and their family members need to present their
military ID cards or
discharge certificate
(DD214) to receive
the available discounts and services.
Bob Kelley, Grant
County veterans’ service officer, said this is the
fourth year for the county’s
MAW. Each year has brought
a steady increase of participation from businesses and
organizations in the community.
“When I first took over five
years ago, Marion had no Veterans Day parade, no Memorial
Day parade,” Kelley said. “I’m
hoping [MAW] is a chance for
mom and pop businesses to thank
those who have served.”
Tree of Life Ministries hosted
the MAW kickoff rally on Sunday night. The purpose of the
rally was to raise community
awareness and to encourage participation in the week’s activities.
Kelley invited veterans and their
families to attend as guests and
emphasized that the event was not
“Veterans Day
should be every
day,” Kelley said.
“You should thank a
vet every day for the
freedom you enjoy.”
like a military ceremony.
“It’s all about Veterans Day,”
Kelley said, “presenting the col-
ors, a guest speaker…honoring
them, not standing in rank.”
The church also sponsors Military Family Night, which will be
held at the Marion National
Guard Armory from 6 to
9 p.m. on Tuesday. The
event is free for veterans,
active duty military and
their families.
Kelley said that the
Moores, who run Tree
of Life Ministries,
have no veterans
in their family
yet lead veteran
support in the community. They and their
church raised $3,500 for
homeless vets.
“They’ve done so much,”
he said.
Charity Bailey, director
of business development
and operations at the Grant County Economic Growth Council,
grew up in a military family and
appreciates businesses’ involvement in MAW. “When a business
participates, they connect with
our military men and women, and
hopefully remind our military
that they are not alone,” she said.
Restaurants throughout the
county provided free meals for
active duty military and veterans
on Veterans Day. Toppit Pizza in
Gas City gave away 12-inch, one
topping pizzas, and Bob Evans

Last Tuesday the people of
Marion elected Democrat Jess
Alumbaugh by a 60-40 percent
margin over Republican John
Lawson, in what many perceived
as an upset after 12 years of Republican Wayne Seybold in the
mayor’s office.
“I expected to have a real good
chance to win, based on all of the
walking I did, going face-to-face
with people, but you never know
what they’re really going to do
when they go into that voting
booth,” Alumbaugh said.
“Tuesday was really serene,”
he said, saying that his anxiety
only rose once there were only a
few precincts left and it looked
clear that he was going to win.
Political observers across the
city cited Alumbaugh’s personal
campaigning as a winning strat-

Council flips to GOP
Will Brunner lead it?
By Miranda Lenar
This year’s election results will
shake up Marion’s government,
while still keeping some familiar
faces in play. One of those familiar
faces is Jim Brunner.
Brunner says this year’s council
is one created with changed dynamics. Jess Alumbaugh, Marion’s
mayor-elect, is from the Democratic Party; however, the new Council
will have a Republican majority,
including Dave Homer and Steve
Henderson.
This is a reversal of the current
administration, of course, which
has a Republican mayor and a
Democratic Council. Brunner
thinks the change will be good, because while there are some experienced veterans he can work with,
It appears that Brunner will run for president of the newly
seated City Council;
he says his focus will
be on transparency.
He wants the people
of Marion to know
what the Council is
doing and why it is
doing it.
it’s “good to have fresh ideas.”
Brunner also believes that the
focus should not be on individual
feelings but on the issues within

Extra patrols will be watching

Look for increased patrols
and enforcement on Grant
County roads from November 13 through December
6 as area law enforcement
looks to keep drivers safe
during one of the busiest
travel times of the year.
The Grant County Traffic
Safety Partnership--which
consists of the Grant County
Sheriff’s Department and
the Marion, Gas City, Fairmount, Swayzee and Van
Buren police departments-will be conducting high-visibility patrols encouraging
drivers and passengers to
drive sober, and buckle up
for safety.
“The Thanksgiving holiday period is an extremely
busy time travel time in
Indiana,” said Capt. Mike
Ross, “Our focus is on keeping drivers and passengers
safe, and increased patrols
will allow us to look for
those intoxicated drivers,
or those unrestrained, and
remind them, buckle up and
drive sober. Because if we
do see you unbelted, or suspected you’ve been drink-
ing, we will pull you over.”
Increased
enforcement

Elections, sports and a special arrival
T
he Marion city
election dominated
most of my week,
and as much as I
enjoy observing and talking
politics and elections I still
had time for many other
interesting, important, and
enjoyable activities. This
is the month of Thanksgiving and I find myself quite
grateful for all I get to do.
God has so blessed me, and
I always want to acknowledge that and say so.
I took advantage of the
unseasonably warm, sunny
weather this week to play
golf for the final time this
year on Monday. Chuck
Kenworthy and I played 18
holes at Arbor Trace, with
lunch between each nine
holes. I shot my best score
of the year, which made it
even more fun. I had such a
good time I played for the
final time this year again on
Wednesday. I fact-checked
those previous statements
and found that in Indiana
there is no statute limiting
how many times a person
can play golf for the final
time each year!
When Karen and I went
to vote on Tuesday at our
precinct at College Wesleyan Church we bumped into
Governor Mike Pence, who
was visiting Marion. Many
GOP bigwigs were there
and the Guv stood around
and chatted for 20 minutes.
No IWU officials and only a
handful of voters came by to
greet him. He was subdued
and is aging rapidly.
It appeared to me the
strains of this last legislative
session and its aftermath

are taking a toll on him. His
visit was not announced
or heralded with the usual
press releases and entourage.
Just a small SUV with two
plainclothes security guys
and some staff in another
vehicle. It was very lowkey. It was repeated later on
the south side of the Grant
County courthouse and
again without hoopla or the
usual show. A bit puzzling
to me. I’m thinking his
reelection chances are not
as bright as they were a year
ago, but I might be reading
too much into the whole
matter. A year in politics
is a long time, as we just
witnessed in Marion.
Tuesday evening I had
a great time at the courthouse with election workers observing the process
of tallying the vote. Grant
County Clerk Carolyn Mowery allowed me to watch
her efficient operation and
explained what went on. It
was Jerry Shull’s first time
to replace Mark Florence in
running the election and it
went smoothly. The results
got in so quickly I got to
Marion High School to see
the Lady Giants basketball
team season opener. They
edged a good Pendleton
Heights team, and it appears
they could have a very good
year.
The Chamber of Commerce did one of their
fine Business After Hours
receptions late Wednesday
afternoon at the College Inn.
That’s the bed & breakfast
owned and run by Jack and
Diana Gardner at 39th and
Washington streets in south
Marion. They’ve expanded
to the south to include a
second building and will be
adding a coffee shop in between the two houses. Their
business has exploded due
to being so close to IWU,
but also to the generous
hospitality of the Gardners.
Stop by and check it out
sometime. It makes a great
impression of Marion for
visitors to our city.
A Thursday post-election
walk-through of City Hall
was interesting and informative. I found out that
the mayor and several
department heads haven’t
shown up there regularly
for a while. When I asked a
knowledgeable inside source
what the mood was like in
the building since the election, he replied, “NeedhamStorey.” Pretty much sums it
up. Change is coming and it
appears it is needed.
Thursday night our
daughter Janet gave birth to
her second daughter and our
ninth grandchild, Charlotte
Belle. The interesting part
of the time since for us has
been being able to watch our
four-year-old granddaughter
Kara. I had forgotten how
energetic kids are and how
hard it is to keep up with
them, both mentally and
physically.
Is there a legal limit on
how many questions a kid
can ask each hour? I’m
sure there isn’t or else Kara
would have been under arrest. As soon as she surrendered to sleep I was ready to
drop. It was fun, but now I
know why I invoked a twohour limit on watching the
grandkids many years ago.
I love them dearly all the
time, but I can enjoy them
more in small doses.
Friday was Grandparents
Day at Lakeview Christian School and I attended
Preschool with Kara. It is
a special blessing to me to
see children learning and
developing in such a special
environment, where they are
loved and valued as special
creations of God. And to see

Charlotte Belle arrived at the Richardson household this
week.
LCS thriving and growing
after some difficulties a
few years back was another special blessing. I’ve
invested a good part of my
life there, and it’s so neat to
see how it is currently being
received and supported by
this community. It’s filling a
huge need for parents who
want the combination of
challenging academics from
a Christian perspective for
their children.
Saturday was a huge
sports day at IWU, with the
men’s cross country team
winning the league championship, the volleyball
team winning the first round
match in the league playoffs,
and the men’s soccer team
moving on to the league
championship next Saturday
night. I got to fill in for the
legendary Perry Frank and
do the color commentary on
WIWU-TV51’s broadcast
with Roger Alcock for the
men’s basketball 90-point
victory in the Caleb Dimmich classic. Years ago,
when the campus TV station
started, Tim Rush and I were
the on-air guys. It was fun to
go back for one game and do
it again. I felt very fortunate
and quite blessed.
Actually I felt that way all
week, because I am indeed
very blessed. As I finish
writing this on Sunday night
the Colts have just finished
off the undefeated Broncos!
I’m guessing Chuck Pagano
feels pretty good too. I hope
you have a great week. God
bless you!

ottom line here is
that two children
are dead. Gone.
Deceased. Apply
the verb of your choice:
Murdered, slain, blown
away, wasted, eliminated
with extreme prejudice.
Both apparently are “collateral damage,” innocents
caught up in something so
large, so evil, so heinous-and not of their making--that
it would have been beyond
their understanding right up
to the millisecond that bullets crashed into their young
brains and destroyed them.
First, let’s give them the
dignity of names.
Tyshawn Lee was the
older of the two, he was nine
years old, a fourth-grader at
Joplin Elementary School on
Chicago’s war-town South
Side. He loved to play basketball and was walking to his
grandmother’s house Monday
afternoon when police said he
was lured to the alley in the
8000 block of South Damen
Avenue and shot, repeatedly.
The basketball he always
carried with him was found
nearby.
Jeremy Mardis was but six
years old, restrained by the
belt in the front seat of his
father’s car, a little guy not
yet large enough to see over
the dashboard in front of him
as he and his father drove the
streets of Marksville, a town
not far north of Baton Rouge
in Central Louisiana.
That’s where he was when,
at the conclusion of some sort
of insane police chase--just
like Tyshawn Lee, he was
in circumstances not of his
making--two part-time police
officers opened fire on the car,
the boy, and his father. When
the shooting stopped, the
father was critically wounded
and Jeremy Mardis, age 6,
was dead--killed, according to
the antiseptic language of the
police department, because
he was “caught in the line
of fire and died of multiple
gunshot wounds to the head
and chest.”
Tyshawn Lee was “shot
repeatedly;” Jeremy Mardis
died of “multiple gunshot
wounds.”
I need to repeat: The
victims were age nine and
age six.
So I shall now enumerate
the things we won’t discuss
here. Gun laws. Wasted
breath. The Second Amendment has been so twisted as to
make discussion meaningless.
But it does beg the question:
Should the children, maybe,
have had guns too?
Lax law enforcement,
perhaps. Tyshawn’s father
won’t talk to the cops. He’s
paralyzed by fear. Jeremy’s
father can’t talk to the cops.
He’s in critical condition with
bullet fragments in the throat.
The circumstances. We’ll
never know. The Chicago
child was lured down a deadend alley by people--adult
gangsters--intent on killing
the child to hurt the father,
who, himself a gangster, had
hurt one of theirs.
The Louisiana child was
simply being driven to his
grandmother’s home by his
father. His father had some
misunderstanding with the
law because he had fled an attempt to serve him with legal
papers earlier. The father was
unarmed.
Said the police chief in
Louisiana “That little boy
was buckled in the front seat
of that vehicle and that is how
he died. He didn’t deserve to
die like that.”
Said the police chief in
Chicago, “This is probably
the most abhorrent, cowardly, unfathomable crime I
have seen in 35 years in law
enforcement.”
Tyshawn Lee, age nine,
and Jeremy Mardis, age six,
remain dead.
Brunner,
nity so long makes the problems real to him.
It appears that Brunner
will run for president of the
newly seated City Council;
he says his focus will be on
transparency. He wants the
people of Marion to know
what the Council is doing
and why it is doing it.
With all this in mind, Jim
Brunner is excited for what
Continued from page 1

with the number one focus:
streets and roads. This is a
problem that Brunner says
the state as a whole is dealing
with. He has met with Governor Mike Pence to discuss
this. Indiana is looking for
answers. It is a difficult issue
to tackle, because no government wants to raise taxes in
order to fix the roads.
The second issue that
Brunner feels will be the
focus of the new administration is debt. The question becomes “Exactly what
is that debt?” and what the
city can do to reduce it.
So to combat this, the administration plans to do an
outside audit to help determine where they stand--then
make a plan early to do deal
with it.
Brunner, a longtime
Marion resident, has broadcast sports on local stations
such as WBAT 1400 AM
and 860 ESPN radio. He
broadcast the game in which
Mayor-elect Jess Alumbaugh helped win a state
title for the Marion Giants
basketball team. He says

Politics/Commentary

T
he City of Marion
has just concluded elections
with results that
shocked a great many
people. Jess Alumbaugh, a
former Republican turned
Democrat in his first run
for public office, upset
John Lawson who had won
every previous election he
was involved in for Sheriff,
county council and county
commissioner.
Beside the two mayoral
candidates, who were the
winners and losers in last
week’s election? That’s a
question we went around
asking folks and we got
some interesting responses.
Then we had our version of
“big bellies and brass hats”
(thanks to our colleague Ed
Breen for that descriptor)
play armchair quarterback
and we came up with two
lists:
Here’s a list of Winners:
Lynn Johnson:
The loser of the
mayor’s race in
2011, the likable Democrat
was able to swim against
1.
the tide that swept two
GOP candidates—Dave
Homer and Brad Luzadder—into at-large council
seats and finished third to
win the third at-large seat.
She missed being second to
Luzadder by only 29 votes
and was 75 ahead of fourth
place finisher, newcomer
Herschel Lewis.
Dave Homer: Formerly a police chief
and District 1 city
councilman, he led all Republican voter getters and
won the at-large council
race with 2,257 votes, thus
returning to the council. He
now might be considered
the front-runner for the
GOP mayoral nomination
in 2019, although Luzadder
might object to that idea,
after he considered running this year and deferred
to Lawson. Watch both of
them for posturing during
the next four years.
Steve Henderson:
The likeable Republican defeated
Fred Troxell and won the
District 1 seat by a 58% to
42% margin of 92 votes.
He represents the north
Marion area that includes
the Bend of the River
neighborhood association
and Melanie Sproat, so
2.
3.
he’ll get a lot of positive
input.
Lucinda Caudill
and the Democrats:
The Democrat
county chairwoman
welcomed and embraced
Jess Alumbaugh when he
switched parties and before
he won the primary. It
could have been considered
a risky move, but she did
it. If you take a risk and
pick the winner you are a
winner.
Herschel Lewis
and Adam Binkerd:
How are you a winner when you lose? These
two newcomers won a lot
of votes in their first bids
for election and made positive impressions. Look for
both of them to try again.
Alumbaugh’s
Campaign Committee: They deserve
recognition for sticking
their necks out: Co-Chairs
Jack Colescott and Carol
Secttor, Madonna French,
Bobbie Owensby, John
Sutton, Dick Persinger,
Von Jackson, Jeff Moore,
and Harry Hall. Alumbaugh gave lots of credit
to former Democrat State
Senator Wayne Townsend
who encouraged him to run
for mayor before passing
5.
6.
away this summer.
John Lawson:
Yes, we know he
lost, but the style,
tone, and direction of his
credible campaign was
praiseworthy. He chose
not to attack his opponent
over personal weaknesses
and shortcomings that
were fairly well-known,
instead focusing on what he
wanted to do as mayor. His
ads were very professional,
well-done, well-placed,
and positive. He had an
outstanding committee and
was well funded. His only
mistake was being a part
of the current administration, something he loyally
refused to turn away from.
If he had done so, the outcome might have been different. Although he had the
lower vote total, he walks
away with his integrity and
his head high, and he gets
to stay in his current job as
a county commissioner.
WBAT and The
News Herald: A lot
of money was spent
on this campaign by the
candidates and the local radio stations and this paper
were beneficiaries of most
of it. Money is the mother’s
milk of politics and it’s the
way businesses count win-
8.
ning also.
Jim Brunner: He
almost got relegated to the other
list because his percentage
of the votes from 2007
(100% and unopposed) and
2011 (66%) in the same
usually GOP district fell
to just 53.51% this time.
And, despite spending a
lot of money to buy his
right to stay on the air to
do his morning sportscast
and Marion football games
(he had to do that for 45
days prior to the election
because of FCC rules), he
still won by only 45 votes.
That narrow margin can
only be explained with the
same logic that seemed to
hurt other incumbents—he
was identified as part of
the current administration-but in the end he won, and
it appears he’s going to
wind up as the next council
president.
Carolyn
Mowery
and Bonnie
Cartwright: That duo and
their staff—which included
both ladies’ husbands—did
a great job of running the
election and getting the
votes counted before 8
pm. Jerry Shull chaired
the process and despite a
10.
kerfuffle between two election judges at the Faulkner
Center was able to pull it
off. They helped us all to
be winners by not having to
wait too long for results.
1.
And now for the Losers:
Wayne Seybold:
Voters all across the
nation are looking
for a change and embracing outsiders. Thus Donald
Trump, Ben Carson, and
Carly Fiorina have emerged
in the upper tier of the GOP
Presidential race. There
seems to be a feeling that
it’s happening locally,
too. It’s even possible the
mayor sensed that a year
ago and decided not to run
to avoid a similar fate. His
stock was driven down by
withering attacks by the local daily paper that seemed
obsessed by TIF districts
and blamed them all on
him, when all were approved by the city council,
also. Regardless, all the
local armchair experts we
talked to pinned Lawson’s
loss on being a part of the
current administration.

and offer their commentary
and opinion.—Ed.
The News Herald
NDIANAPOLIS –
What are the key takeaways from Tuesday’s
elections in cities and
towns where 70 percent of
Hoosiers live?
Indiana’s antiquated
voting system is not
serving Hoosiers
well, with dismal turnout
where competitive mayoral
or city council races were
taking place. After one of
the worst turnouts in the
nation in 2014, the coming
figures are likely to show
this trend extending to last
Tuesday. Memo to Gov.
Mike Pence and state legislators who are supposed to
be stewards of the process:
Our out-dated election system is broken and needs to
be addressed in time for next
November.
A good bench is
developing for both
Republicans and
Democrats, with some of
Tuesday’s victors likely to
appear on statewide ballots
in the next couple of election cycles. Democrat Joe
Hogsett brought his party
back to power in Indianapolis, Republican Evansville
Mayor Lloyd Winnecke won
an impressive 64 percent
victory for a second term
and had long coattails that
brought several Republicans
into council seats. Democratic South Bend Mayor
Peter Buttigieg won 78 percent of the vote just months
2.
after announcing he is gay.
Republican LaPorte Mayor
Blair Milo polled 80 percent
to become the first city executive to be reelected there
in two decades. In Hammond, Democratic Mayor
Thomas McDermott, Jr.,
won a fourth term with only
851 votes against him in a
city of 81,000.
Joshua Claybourn, a key
ally to Mayor Winnecke,
said just hours after he
dispatched State Rep. Gail
Riecken in this traditionally
Democratic city, “He’s sort
of the perfect GOP candidate for the next generation.
Likable, fiscally conservative and pro-life, but also
pro gay rights. He will appeal to a growing segment
of the GOP.”
McDermott had been
pondering a U.S. Senate bid,
but told me on Wednesday,
“I will not be on the statewide ballot in 2016. I have
a 10-year-old son and I do
not want to do a statewide
campaign.” Key words and
numbers there are “statewide” and “2016.”
Mayors will pay a
steep political price
if they lose support in their police and fire
departments. Peru Mayor
Jim Walker lost to Democrat Gabe Greer after police
controversies there. In Terre
Haute, though, despite
tough headlines about dire
budget deficits, Republican

The Howey
Report
Brian Howey
Mayor Duke Bennett won
an unprecedented third term
in a Democratic city where
voters discard mayors like
sticky ice cream wrappers.
Bennett was endorsed by
both his police and firefighter unions and pulled out
a 52-48 percent victory.
There is an emerging
independent streak.
Bedford Mayor
Shawna Girgis won her third
term as an independent, and
she was joined by Delphi
Mayor-elect Shane Evans, a
25-year-old Wabash College
and IU Law School grad.
Democratic Delphi Mayor
Randy Strasser was defeated
by a handful of votes in his
4.
primary as his opponent,
Jack Wilson, portrayed
him as a big spender at a
time when cities are being
urged to created amenities
to attract younger residents.
Voters ended up rejecting
both major party nominees.
Independents were also
elected in Greendale, Mitchell and Southport.
Voters are likely
to turn away from
80-year-old candidates. Elkhart voters opted
for Republican Tim Neese
over 81-year-old, two-term
Mayor Dick Moore, just as
Republicans rejected U.S.
Sen. Dick Lugar in 2012,
though Lugar bristles as the
notion, presenting me with
a recent schedule that would
have worn me out.
It’s important for a
mayor to get off to
a good start. A bad
one sticks with them. Republican Columbus Mayor
Kristin Brown lost in the
primary after a rocky start
with her city council. In Logansport, Republican Mayor
Ted Franklin stirred up early
controversy over parking his
Corvette in a handicap zone
and lost to Democrat Dave
Kitchell in a landslide.
City voters are
pragmatic. In addition to Republicans
Winnecke and Bennett who
have won multiple terms in
heavily Democratic cities,
Democratic Fort Wayne

Mayor Tom Henry won an
unprecedented third term in
his heavily Republican city.
Drive through his downtown
these days and you’ll see
why. Ditto for three-term
Democratic Kokomo Mayor
Greg Goodnight, who has
been rebuilding his downtown while creating policy
innovations such as a freeto-user public transportation
system.
This is not an ironclad
scenario, however. Republican Anderson Mayor Kevin
Smith lost to Democrat
Thomas Broderick, Jr.,
despite several recent key
economic development
successes. Broderick did
something that Riecken in
Evansville and Mark Bird
in Terre Haute failed to do,
which was to unite his party.
Mayoral nominees have to
unite their party.
We end in Jasper, where
first-term Republican Mayor
Terry Seitz ended up in a
tie with Democrat Wayne
Schuetter at 1,856 votes.
Unless a recount changes
things, the current 4-3 Democratic majority city council
will decide this election,
even though the new council
to be sworn in on Jan. 1 is
4-3 Republican. Seitz told
me, “I’ve had a good relationship with a majority of
the council. We’ve disagreed
with on some issues, but
we’ve also had a number of
7-0 votes.” And he told the
We end in Jasper, where firstterm Republican
Mayor Terry Seitz

Wayne Schuetter

DuBois County Herald, “I
have a feeling there is a life
lesson in this. It is interesting to be part of history.”
Schuetter adds the perfect
coda: “This is another good
indicator as to why everybody needs to get out and
vote.” To which I say, see

the mayor and is guilty
of being a part of what is
currently going on. She ran
a highly visible campaign,
but got painted with the
same brush that hurt others.
It’s questionable whether
Alumbaugh will offer her a
job in city hall because of
her abrasive style and his
wanting to set a new tone.
In that case she might wind
up losing twice.
Bill Henry: Seybold
blamed Lawson’s
loss on Henry’s
letter of endorsement that
appeared in the local daily
paper. That’s probably a
stretch, but after losing to
Alumbaugh in the primary
(and reportedly launching a bitter tirade at him)
and crossing party lines
to endorse a Republican,
Henry’s stock among his
own party has no doubt
fallen.
IWU: No, the university doesn’t get
involved in local
elections and its president
cautiously avoided endorsing or even mentioning
anyone, but IWU loses
because it let Alumbaugh
go from his last job and
now he’s the one sitting
in the mayor’s chair. It’s
unlikely Alumbaugh will
repay that in kind because
it was a mutually agreed
upon separation and he’s
not vengeful, but it doesn’t
help, either. It’s awkward
at best.

I
started my week shooting
one of the most moving
scenes I have captured,
the “Let My Light Shine”
tribute at the Marion National
Cemetery at the VA (above).
The experience and response
has been unbelievable. Stop
by and see this display before
November 21.
I ventured over to Upland and watched a young,
scrappy Trojans team beat
the visitors from Georgetown,
71-65. It seemed like every
girl on the Taylor team gave
up 6” in height to her opponent, but what they lacked
in size they made up for it
in heart and tenacious play
(bottom).
Back to Marion for IWU
volleyball’s Senior Night. The
Wildcats have only three
seniors this year, so strong
play should continue with this
program (at left).
Friday and Saturday saw
the return of the “Mobile
Pack” at Lakeview. Teams of
young and old came together
to pack over 172,000 meals
for the “Feed My Starving
Children” mission in two-hour
shifts. The job may be repetitive, but the atmosphere is
high-energy and what a great
cause—to feed the hungry

Chris Rayment and
Libertarians: It was
a nice try, but third
parties just never seem to
get very far. He finished
937 votes behind sixth
place, which was more than
the 894 votes he got. He
might get some satisfaction
from being a spoiler who
kept some others from possibly winning, but that’s a
long way from winning.
Jerry Shull: The
affable county GOP
chairman recruited
a good slate of candidates,
and the party did succeed
in winning six of the nine
Marion City Council seats.
And, the election was
conducted smoothly in
his first time taking Mark
Florence’s place as chairman of the election board.
So why is he on this list?
Because losing the mayor’s
office after 12 years is a
big loss, and the coach gets
the blame, not the players. To add insult to it, he
won’t get to appoint his
friend David Glickfield—or
perhaps himself—to what
would have been Lawson’s unexpired term for
commissioner, but he can
console himself with a long
winter in Florida.
Fred Troxell and
Andy Lyons: Both
men are independent thinkers and spoke
their minds freely as they
ran for office. They have
tried before and are welcome to try again, but this
time they didn’t make it so
it lands them on a list like
this.

Republicans: In the
last four mayor’s
races the GOP candidate’s percentage of votes
has been 62, 66, 56, and
39. That’s a big slide and
shows that something needs
to be overhauled or more
losses are sure to follow.
Unopposed candidates: Their names
no longer appear
on the ballot and thus many
people will not know they
were even elected. Jason
McVicker, Kathy Kiley,
Alan Miller, Henry Smith,
Don Batchelor, and Deb
Cain are the ones we can
think of. Too bad the powers that be decided to leave
them off the ballot.
Jobs in city
hall: For sure
there will be
changes and new faces
will be there, but there
may also be fewer faces
because many people are of
the opinion that city hall is
overstaffed. Alumbaugh is
being urged to cut positions
in order to find money to
fix the streets as he promised. Some folks are going
to lose their jobs, and that
includes consultants and
advisors.

This week I visited with
my Aunt June, a kind,
wonderful and very loving lady. She’s called an
assisted living residence
home for about a decade
now, and she gets along
so well with the staff
there that she considers
them family. At the end
of this month she’ll be
joining me and the family
for Thanksgiving dinner,
but the weekend before
then I’ll be helping cook
up her own feast to
share with the fabulous
people who help her on
a daily basis. Aunt June
just turned 89, and if
you want some advice
about cooking, sewing,
dating, fishing, or really
anything, you can’t get
much better than her.
When I sit down at
the little table in June’s
kitchenette, a steaming
cup of coffee and a plate
full of cookies in front
of me, I know I’m in for a
treat. If I have a problem,
I don’t hesitate to share
it. The passing years
have granted my aunt
the ability to take my
problems, no matter how
large I think they are,
and turn them into minor
things, opportunities
really. So I don’t hang
onto my private thoughts
when I’m at the kitchen
table, because someone
so much smarter, wiser,
and funnier than me is
available to make things
so much easier. I didn’t
have a problem to bring
before Aunt June this
time, so instead, she told
me a story.

magic. Even if you’re
pushing pretty close to
60 yourself, there’s just
something about listening to someone who has
walked this planet before
you share their experiences through the lens
of memory. There’s no
better gift than a story,
and I hold every single
one of Aunt June’s
stories dear to my heart.
This week, she wanted to
talk about Amos.
Amos is Uncle Amos,
passed on now for just
over 20 years. According
to Aunt June, Amos was
a hoot his entire life, and
she wanted to talk about
when they met, when
she was just 18 years
old, and Uncle Amos was
a young soldier, shipping out that very next
day for Germany to fight
in World War II. With
Veteran’s Day this week,
Aunt June has been
thinking about those
early days, and how
romantic and handsome
her late husband had
been in his uniform.
She remembers that
he swept her off her
feet and they’d shared
a dance before he was
due to the train station,
and her heart was stolen,
just like that. They wrote
letters back and forth,
and when the war ended
the next year, they were
married.

he sent her, full of jokes
and anecdotes about his
friends. She only takes
them out once a year,
on their anniversary,
because over the years
they have worn thin and
delicate from so much
handling. She broke this
rule during my visit, so
that I could see these
pieces of history and
love that have survived
the better part of a century.
When I left Aunt
June’s apartment, I
maybe hugged her a
little bit longer than I
normally do, thinking
that this week is hard
on her, living with these
memories and missing
Uncle Amos. When I
looked into her eyes, she
squeezed my hand, and
I realized that, for her,
this Veteran’s Day isn’t
sad, something to get
through as quickly and
painlessly as possible.
It’s a celebration of her
late husband, and all
of his fellow soldiers,
and all of the men and
women who have come
after him, and I realized
that’s the way it should
be.
So if you know a veteran, or the family of a
veteran, thank them this
Veteran’s Day, and let
them share a story with
you; you won’t regret it.

Chamber of Commerce’s Annual Dinner
Photos by Kylie Jackson/Chamber of Commerce
The Marion Grant County Chamber of Commerce held its annual dinner Friday night at the
Meshingomeshia Country Club. Susan Reese, Chairperson of the Chamber for 2014-15 (at
right in large picture immediately below), presented the Chairman’s Award to Michelle Bunker of IMG, who said she was “deeply honoroed.” Reese then passed the gavel to incoming
Chairman Jim Riggle of AEP-Indiana Michigan Power (immediately below, in center photo),
who said the Chamber will focus on returning value for its members’ dues in the year ahead.
The Chamber also recognized its Ambassador of the Year, Craig Armstrong, of Miller’s Merry
Manor (photo at the bottom, left), who received the award from Carla Tucker, the 2014
recipient. Tucker cited Armstrong for his “integrity and energy.” Sarah Moore (bottom, right)
was recognized as the Young Professional of the Year for her work in raising money to equip
Grant County’s first responders with trauma kits.
To cap off the evening, Lisa Eltzroth 2014 recipient of the ATHENA Award (at right in
the picture at right), presented the 2015 award to Jennifer Lane-Riefler, executive director
of Cancer Services of Grant County. “I want to thank my ‘balcony people,’” said Lane-Riefler,
“‘Balcony people’ are thos people who stand on the balcony and support you and guide you.”
She mentioned several who were in attendance that night. “I accept this
award
in honor of
the thousands of families facing cancer who have touched my life,” she said, “and all of my
staff...we
need
to
embrace our life experiences,
whether
they are roses or thorns.”
said, “Our door-to-door
was too little, too late.”
“I took a year off from
work and lived on my own
money for a year,” Alumbaugh said, “There was
a price to pay to achieve
this, and I worked it from
9 or 10 in the morning
until dark almost every
night, so that was an advantage I had.”
Observers also cited
Lawson’s ties to the current administration as a
weight he was unable to
shed that cost him votes.
“I would agree with
that,” said Alumbaugh,
adding: “We’re seeing
that nationwide, it’s not
just Marion. They’re
starting to pay attention to
people who haven’t been
in politics at all.”
“We were tied to the
previous administration-they hired me,” allowed
Lawson, “but, with all
due respect, whether it
was them [the Democrats]
trying to tie me to Wayne
Seybold or them [outside
political observers] trying
to tell me to run down Jess

sense to me; you have to

ning down other people,
you’ve lowered yourself
to a new level. We’re not
going to do that.”
Alumbaugh agreed, and
expressed appreciation for
the clean campaign that
Lawson and the Republicans ran.
Moving forward, Alumbaugh said his phone has
been ringing constantly
with people interested in
joining his administration. “I knew that would
come,” he said, “People
are looking for an opportunity; with change comes
an opportunity for others.”
He said he was looking
at key positions already
and was arranging meetings with urrent city department heads to begin
the process of evaluating
who will stay and who
will go. The changes may
not be as radical or as
swift as some might expect, he said.
“I don’t want the people
in City Hall to think I’m
coming in and blowing it
up,” he said, “I need to
assess a lot of positions.
You can’t do that from
outside.”
He is looking for his
personal leadership team,
but declined to name anyone. “I’d like to keep that
under wraps for now,” he
said, “...I need to talk to
them first.”
He’s already talked with
councilmen Jim Brunner and Steve Henderson
about working with what
will be a City Council
with a 6-3 Republican majority, and doesn’t anticipate any problems working together.
As for when he takes
office, “The first thing I
have to do is look at the
budget,” Alumbaugh said.
He plans to hire an independent company to audit
the city’s books. “I want
to know where we stand,
exactly,” he said.
Lawson had a message
for Alumbaugh in that
area, saying: “We’re not
in as bad a shape as the
Chronicle-Tribune would
have you believe...Your
budget is not your problem, your nightmare is
health insurance.”
Lawson, who will be 66
in December, said he may
consider retirement so as
to spend more time being
involved with Help the
Hopeful, raising money
Page 9
for mentally and physically challenged kids in
Grant County.
He remained upbeat
after the election, noting that “The sun still
came up Wednesday; my
grandkids still called me
‘Grandpa.’”
Mayor Wayne Seybold
said he met Alumbaugh
briefly at WBAT. He
(Seybold) was leaving and
Alumbaugh was arriving
for an interview. Seybold
said he told Alumbaugh
“We’ll have the conference room set up as the
transition office...available to them. We’ll have
all of the information that
they need as far as the
budget and where we are
in the process.”
As for his plans come
January, the lame-duck
mayor was playing his
cards close to his vest:
“I’m not sure yet...I do
have some options...we’re
kind of evaluating all of
those...Hopefully in the
next four or five weeks
we’ll get it figured out.”
Asked what his message
to the people of Marion
would be now that the
election was over, Alumbaugh responded: “I will
be approachable. I will be
honest with them. I will
own up to my mistakes. I
will operate with honesty
and integrity. I want to
restore faith and trust in
local government here in
Marion.”

CAUSE NO. 27D02-1509-AD-22
IN RE THE MATTER OF THE ADOPTION OF:
JANNA MADONNA MILLER
NOTICE TO UNNAMED FATHER
The unnamed putative father of the child born to Connie G.
Miller on June 24, 1998, or the person who claims to be the father of
the child born to Connie G. Miller on June 24, 1998, is notified that a
petition for adoption of the child was filed in the office of the clerk of
Grant Superior Court II, Grant County Courthouse, 101 E. 4th Street,
Marion, Indiana 46952.
If the unnamed putative father seeks to contest the adoption of
the child, the unnamed putative father must file a motion to contest
the adoption in accordance with IC 31-19-10-1 in the above named
court within thirty (30) days after the date of service of this notice.
This notice may be served by publication.
If the unnamed putative father does not file a motion to contest
the adoption within thirty (30) days after service of this notice, the
above named court shall hear and determine the petition for adoption. The unnamed putative father's consent is irrevocably implied
and the unnamed putative father loses the right to contest the adoption or the validity of the unnamed putative father's implied consent to
the adoption. The unnamed putative father loses the right to establish
paternity of the child under IC 31-14.
Nothing Connie G. Miller, or anyone else says to the unnamed
putative father of the child relieves the unnamed putative father of his
obligations under this notice. Under Indiana law, a putative father is
a person who is named as or claims that he may be the father of a
child born out of wedlock but who has not yet been legally proven to
be the child's father.
This notice complies with IC 31-19-4-4 but does not exhaustively set forth the unnamed putative father's legal obligations under
the Indiana adoption statutes. A person being served with this notice
should consult the Indiana adoption statutes.
Dated at Marion, Indiana, this 19th day of October, 2015.

Lady Giants top Oak Hill on 3-0 start
All right, so it was not an
artistic triumph for the Lady
Giants on Saturday night. It
was their third game in five
nights to start the season,
and second night in a row-maybe they were a little
tired. Maybe a little rusty.
Not quite in sync yet; not
used to working together.
Pick your reason, but a win
is a win and Marion coasted away from the Oak Hill
Golden Eagles, 48-33.
It was a tighter game in
the first half. The Giants ran
out to a 6-0 lead, but Oak
Hill came back after a time
out and scored five straight.
Just when they looked
poised to take the lead,
however, the Eagles missed
a layup, and gave up a
breakaway on the other end.
It was 8-5 and the game
never got any closer.
Missed layups hurt Oak
Hill all night as they repeatedly had uncontested looks
from the paint but were unable to cash them in. One
observer had the count for
blown layups in double figures.
“We just didn’t concentrate real well tonight,” said
Eagles Head Coach Todd
Law, “We’d miss a wide
open layup on a fast break,
or get an offensive rebound
without really much contact
and nobody there and we
weren’t putting it in.”
Law said his team had 20
turnovers, most of the “unforced” variety. “That’s definitely too many” he said,
“We made some mental
mistakes; there’s no doubt
about that. Tried to put the
ball places it shouldn’t be
going.”
Marion added to the Eagles’ woes with a box-andone defense concentrating
on Oak Hill’s Toni Lautzenheiser, who had scored
at will against Marion last
year.
“Lautzenheiser can really
score,” said, Jerry Freshwater, head coach of Marion,
“So we wanted to make sure
we kept an eye on her.” He
hesitated, then added: “It
helped that she got in foul
trouble, too.”
Indeed, Lautzenheiser got
“Turn Back the Pages”
Hill-Side Views
By Ken Hill
(from October 1989)
Surface Reaches Milestone
It would have been a
long, long winter if Mark
Surface had been deprived
of his 150th career coaching victory last Friday
night.
His Marion Giants made
sure he didn’t have to
wait, however, by knocking off Muncie Central,
22-12, in the first round of
the 5A sectional.
It was Surface’s 150th
win against 79 losses in
a 22-year head coaching stint. He coached one
year at Fremont, two years
at Union City, one year
at Plymouth, five years at
Logansport, eight years at
New Castle and is in his
fifth year at Marion.
He’s had only four losing seasons out of the 22.
His team was 4-6 in his
first year at each Union
City, Logansport and New
Castle. The Giants were 3-6
in Surface’s first year here
One of the most popular
features of Ken Hill’s
Sports Hotline was “Turn
Back the Pages,” in which
he revisited past issues of
the paper and reprinted
notable stories. In honor of
the Hotline and as a legacy
to Hill, The News Herald
asked him for permission
to carry on the tradition of
“Turn Back the Pages.”
Hill readily agreed. Look
for it in our pages each
week.—Editor
but since Marion has really
clicked under his guidance.
His over-all Marion record
is 41-14. Marion went 10-2
in 1986, 9-2 in 1987 and
13-1 in 1988 which ended
with a state runner-up trophy. The Giants are 6-3
going into the sectional
semi-final with Huntington
Friday night.
Congratulations, Mark!
It Took A Lot Of Work
Many sectional football
games around the state
were postponed last Friday
because of heavy snow.
Two games were scheduled in Grant County.
Marion had its game as

her second personal foul
with 6:10 left in the first half
and left the game without
scoring. She would wind up
with only four points for the
game.
“They boxed-and-oned
her the whole night and she
wasn’t very assertive out
of it,” said Law. He noted
that it was early in the season and his team hadn’t
had time to work on how to
combat such a defense yet.
“As we get more time, we’ll
get to work on those kind
of things,” he said. “She’ll
be the first to tell you she
didn’t play real well tonight, but we need to have
others step up.”
Abby Scott did that for
the Eagles, scoring 12
points--the only Oak Hill
player in double figures.
The Giants were not exactly filling it up at the
other end. In the final minute of the first quarter, Autumn Weaver cracked heads
with an Oak Hill player and
left the game with a bump

Vironnica Drake took charge in the third quarter for the Giants, penetrating and finishing.
Softballers reunite at Matter Park
The Matter Park Garden
House sits exactly where the
original fastpitch softball diamond was. That is why the
reunion committee chose the
Garden House for the first
ever fastpitch softball reunion.
More than 160 people, including 76 former players,
gathered for a great time of
renewing old friendships and
telling “old stories” of when
they played, coached, or, in
some cases, just watched the
games.
Bill Simmons, 95, was the
oldest former player in attendance. In his teenage years he
had been the catcher for the
Osborn Midwest team, and
his brother, Gaynelle, was the
pitcher. In 1952 Bill started
coaching the RCA Victor
team. A member of that team,
Dave Spargo, 88, helped organize and attended the reunion.
Dave was 25 when he
started playing for RCA, and
played for 30 years, eventually playing for Marion city
league and travel league
teams. Dave’s fondest memories are of playing on very
competitive teams, the camaraderie of the players, the

softball reunion.
family support, and also that
there were so many good
teams to play against in a 50mile radius of Marion. His
son--Dave, Jr.--carried on the
tradition.
Tom Fox was a catcher for
pitcher Roy McCarty before
joining the military. While
serving his country he decid-
ed he would like to pitch, and
practiced during any spare
time he had, throwing against
a brick wall. Upon his return
to Marion, Fox pitched for
21 years. Fox has often said:
“Softball is my life, and you
(the players) are my family.”

IWU, Taylor battle for Crossroads cross country titles
The Indiana Wesleyan
University men’s cross
country team placed five
runners in the top 10 to win
the program’s fourth consecutive Crossroads League
Championship on Saturday in Huntington, Indiana.
Taylor’s Matt Hall was the
overall winner. Neno Bellinotti, an IWU sophomore
from Sweetzer, was the first
Wildcat to cross the line in
the 8,000-meter race. He
was the individual runner-up
in the 121-runner race with
a time of 25:33. “Matt Hall
ran a great race for Taylor
to win and Neno Bellinotti
struggled a little bit,” said
IWU Coach John Foss. “But
with two weeks left we will
get Neno ready for nationals.”
On the women’s side, it
was Taylor University outdueling IWU for the conference crown. The Wildcats
finished second. It was TU’s
third title in three years and
the fifth in program history.
“Just as we expected, this
was a classic battle with
IWU,” said 2015 Crossroads
League Coach of the Year,
Quinn White. “We got out
well and controlled the pace
but IWU moved well in the
last mile to close the gap.
We had some great finishing kicks to secure the victory.” Taylor’s Alex Berends
topped the field by nearly 30
seconds for a second-straight
Crossroads League Championship.
Stidom nets 1,000th
point as a Trojan
RIO GRANDE, Ohio
– Kyle Stidom joined the
1,000-point club at Taylor
with a game-high 23 points
on nine-of-13 shooting in an
86-79 setback at Rio Grande
on Saturday evening. Stidom also had six rebounds
and a steal in 25 minutes of
work. The senior sank twoof-three attempts from long
range.
Trojans cap home football
schedule with win
Taylor capped its 2015
home schedule in style, scoring the last 20 points of the
game to hand its 17-man senior class a 41-27 win over
Lindenwood-Belleville on
Saturday in the final game
of their careers inside Turner
Stadium.
It was the seniors that led
the charge, with Justin Keys
rushing 24 times for 111
yards and two touchdowns,
Michael Miller hauling in
seven passes for 72 yards and
two scores and Shawn Lashbrook going for 124 yards on
eight catches. Robby Robbins and Andrew Sheard
also got in on the action, on
a 23-yard scoring strike from
Robbins to Sheard.
The 124-yard outing by
Lashbrook was the 10th career 100-yard game for the
receiver and moved him to
third all-time in Taylor history
with 2,262 receiving yards.
Lashbrook will enter his final
collegiate game 101 yards shy
of eclipsing Ryan Magnuson
for second all-time.
The win was the third in a
row for a surging Trojan team,
matching its longest in-season
streak since 2010. TU also secured its highest single-season
win total since that 2010 season
with a sixth victory and finished
MSFA Mideast League play at
4-2, for its best league clip since
going 5-2 in 2009.
Taylor (6-3, 4-2 MSFA)
will look to make history
when it closes its 2015 regular season at Trinity International (2-8, 0-5 MSFA) on
November 14. TU has already
secured the highest scoring
average in program history,
and can also set the program’s
all-time scoring mark with at
least 23 points against TIU.
IWU booters to play for
Crossroads tourney title
Corey Lopez scored twice
in leading top-seed Indiana
Wesleyan University men’s
soccer to a 2-0 victory over
No. 5-seed Mount Vernon
Nazarene (Ohio) to advance to

The IHSAA has announced that Marion’s Bill
Green Arena will play host
to the boys basketball Sectional and Regional this year.
The sectionals are scheduled
for March 1-5; the Regional
will be on March 12.
“We couldn’t be any happier about this”, said Athletic Director Jamy Bechler.
“Marion is known for its
boys basketball tradition.
We are excited that our
community will once again
have the opportunity to see
the Giants play in the postseason right here in our own
backyard.”
The last time that Marion
hosted a sectional was in
2008; that was also the last
year that Marion played
for the state championship.
Scott Wood and Julius Mays
lost to Gordon Hayward and
Brownsburg on a buzzerbeater in the final game.
Marion will move from 4A
to 3A for the next two years
in boys basketball. The other
schools in Marion’s sectional
are Blackford, Delta, Hamilton Heights, Tipton and Yorktown. Hamilton Heights
is the defending sectional
champion.
Marion has long hosted a
4A regional because of the
arena’s size and the ability of
the event management staff
to put on an efficient tournament. The 3A Region #6 will
consist of the sectional winners from Columbia City,
Marion, New Haven and
NorthWood.
Expectations run high at
Marion this year as the Giants return Indiana Junior
All-Star Vijay Blackmon
and fellow All-Stater Reggie Jones. Scoring guard Tim

W
hen Eastbrook lost to
Winchester
Friday night
and the fall sports season
in Grant County, high
school-wise, came to an
end, I figured it was time
for some “Jimmys” to be
handed out.
Grant County Athlete of
the fall season:
Margo Hornocker, Oak
Hill girls cross country.
She was the only Grant
County athlete to cCompete in a state finals setting. She became the first
Grant County lady runner
to make it to state in 16
long years, so she gets the
“Jimmy”as our athlete of
the fall sports season.
Grant County Coach of
the fall season:
Bryan Jackson, Eastbrook boys cross country.
He coached the Panthers
to the Grant Four, CIC and
sectional championships.
The sectional title was
the first in school history.
And his team made it all
the way to the Ft. Wayne
semi-state. For that coaching effort, Coach Jackson
gets the “Jimmy”as our
coach of the fall sports
season.
Team of the fall sports
season:
The Eastbrook football

scheduled Friday night
while Mississinewa had to
postpone its contest with
East-brook until Saturday
afternoon.
As it turned out, Marion
apparently had more cooperation from some people
than did Mississinewa.
Marion athletic director
Jim Fricke had three trucks
and a tractor out clearing
snow from the Giants’ field.
One truck was out before 9
a.m. Friday and the other
equipment soon followed.
There also were workers
clearing snow from the
seats in the stands. An excellent job was done and it
was evident by game time
as the field was in fine condition considering all the
snow and the way it looked
about 12 hours earlier.
Mississinewa didn’t get
the same kind of cooperation. And, that’s why the
game had to be postponed
to Saturday.
Athletic Director Rick
Atkinson did a lot of the
work himself. He got a
huge helping hand from
Hal Harvey, a custodian at
the school who went home
to get his Bobcat to use in
helping to clear the snow
from the field.
John Atkinson, Rick’s
dad, helped as did other
members of Rick’s family.
Panthers. From the opening day of football back on
the first day of August, till
the 6th day of November,
they didn’t lose a game.
Easily the best team in the
area, the Panthers won the
CIC title and were sectional runner-up to powerful Winchester. Their 11-1
record makes the Panthers
our winner for the “Jimmy” as our team of the fall
sports season.
Game of the fall sports
season:
Madison-Grant over
Alexandria-Monroe for
the sectional volleyball
title. When Bob Holloway’s girls took out state
powerhouse Alex for the
sectional title it was easily
the game of the fall sports
season. Winning six out
of the last seven sectional titles has stamped
Madison-Grant as the
premier volleyball team in
the county. They get our
“Jimmy” for the game of
the fall sports season.
Rookie of the fall sports
season:
Brennan Butche of Mississinewa cross country.
Butche came on like a
locomotive in his freshman year for the running
Indians, taking home individual title after individual
title. Only a subpar effort
at the semi-state kept him
Mike Powell, the assistant
principal, spent a lot of time
Saturday helping out. The
football team cleared off the
bleachers on the Mississinewa side Friday night. Rick
Atkinson and Coach Charlie Fisher did the same on
the visitors’ side Saturday.
The game was played at 4
p.m. Saturday and the field
was in excellent condition.
Not many fans at the game
probably realized how
much went into getting the
field ready for play. There
were both headaches and
backaches involved. A lot of
hours were spent by some
people and they should be
given a big thanks.
A Big Turnaround For
M-G
The Oak Hill volleyball
team is to be congratulated
for winning the school’s
fifth straight sectional title.
That’s a record in local sectional play.
Volleyball is an exciting
sport and Oak Hill has an
exciting team. The Lady
Golden Eagles will play
Saturday in the Huntington
regional. Oak Hill is the defending champion. While
Oak Hill has enjoyed volleyball success for years,
Madison-Grant hasn’t in
recent seasons. The Lady
Argylls, who lost to Oak
Hill in three games in the
sectional finals, have made
great improvement since

from getting our overall
athlete of the fall sports
season. For his great freshman cross country year
he gets our “Jimmy” for
rookie of the fall sports
season.
Most successful sport of
season:
Twenty-one local
runners making it to the
semi-state says cross country was easily the most
successful Grant County
sport this season. Not a
single team or athlete from
>>Jimmy, on 7
last year.
Cherie Solms’ Lady Argylls only had a 4-24 record
a year ago. True, the team
was without the injured
Brooke Soultz, one of the
top players, most of the
season but the Lady Argylls
couldn’t win for losing.
They were 1-6 in the Central Indiana Confrence.
The 1989 season showed
a sharp turnaround. Solms
and her girls didn’t quite
make it ot the .500 level
but they finished a 13-16
against a pretty rugged
schedule which included
tourney play against some
of the state’s powers.
The big news, although
quite disheartening at that,
came in the CIC. MadisonGrant reversed last year’s
record to be 6-1. They still
may be having nightmares
about the one game they
lost. It cost them the conference title.
Madison-Grant beat Peru
in the first game and was
ahead 14-5 in the second.
Only one more point was
needed but it was never to
come. Peru staged a gigantic rally to pull that game
out and then it won the third
game. Peru went 7-0 in the
league.
Despite that heartache,
it was a great season for
the Lady Argylls who have
only three seniors. They
may be a team to watch
even more in 1990.

On Sunday, he enjoyed seeing all the former players,
and talking about the “glory
days.” Roy pitched for 25
years, while his dad, Garnett
(“Ned”) and brother Bob had
both been team managers.
Kenny “Bones” Carmichael started playing while in
the military and pitched for
30 years. He recalls the entire
family spending several week
nights, and most weekends, at
the ball park. His daughters,
Dawn and Amy, both married
softball players, and his son,
Kevin, started playing at age
16. For a few years in the later part of Kenny’s career, he
played on a team with Kevin
and both of his sons-in-law,
Rick Harness and Jim Landrum, making it a true family
affair.
Lefty Detamore, a veteran
player, started his career with
the Young Democrats before
going into the service, and
played for the Hawkins Ford
Mailers upon his return. In
1973 he decided that the Mailers’ schedule of 100 games
per season was too many, so
he changed teams and started
playing for Rosie’s Little Italy. The change didn’t prove to
be too beneficial, as Rosie’s
scheduled 90 games that year.
Lefty’s two sons, Buster and
Rick, several of his grandsons, and his son-in-law, Jerry
Ccaudill, were all players, too.
Gordy Hoheimer started
playing at age 19 and played
until he was 50. He enjoyed
playing for some really good
teams, making it to the state

tournament several times, and
being runners-up four different years. His son, Gogie,
played on some of the same
teams with him in later years.
Dick Stroup played for
more than 25 years, and recalls the bleachers at Matter
Park being almost full for
most games, with cars parked
all around the outfield, sometimes three deep.
The Arrendale family was
a fixture at Matter Park. Bob
Sr. played, coached, and sponsored teams, while his wife
Betty kept score, cheered,
and ran the concession stand.
Their five sons--Robert Jr.,
Charlie, Stephen, David, and
Kenneth--also played. All of
them, and their sister Melesa,
were among those with stories
to tell at the reunion.
Two former players came
quite a distance for the reunion. Paul Bowling traveled
from Richmond, KY, and said
he was thrilled to see so many
former teammates. Dave
Townsend came from Florida
with his wife, son, and grandson. Dave had not seen most
of his former teammates and
opponents for 46 years.
The story most told about
Townsend was that, in 1965,
while playing in the single-

give terrible Christmas gifts
elimination semi-state tournament against state powerhouse Midwest Towel,
Townsend hit a grand slam
home run to win the game.
The next year, and ever since,
the tournaments have been
double elimination.
Ralph Pack played for
Bell Fibre in the Industrial
League, played while in the
military, and on his return
to Marion played again for a
few years. On Sunday, he enjoyed trying to recognize everyone, before reading their
name tags.
Kerry Clevenger came into
the reunion carrying an armload of albums, full of pictures and memorabilia from
the Plymouth Club teams.
In 1965, while playing in the
single-elimination semi-state
tournament against state powerhouse Midwest Towel, Townsend
hit a grand slam home run to win
the game. The next year, and ever
since, the tournaments have been
double elimination.
Those, and many old team
pictures that were displayed,
were a highlight, spurring
recollections of many players and games. A memorial
poster with names of former
players, now deceased, was
the only somber part of the
reunion.
With the great response,
and since everyone had such
a good time, it is now the plan
to have the reunion annually.
There are many more stories
to be told!
Special thanks to Judy Carmichael for this story.

watching on how war was fought.
All soldiers are well-versed in traditional marching and movement of a
19th-century soldier, and the music of
bagpipes solidifies the scene.
But 1812 isn’t just a chance to
look back. It also helps create new
memories for both those who attend
and those who put on the event. It is
a chance for families to spend time
together, perhaps even for new families to be created. Merry, a reenactor,
met her husband through 1812 seven
years ago, and still takes part in the
event today.
Mississinewa 1812 continues to be
a success and has already set dates for
the next two years, because both the
community and the creators know
something important: history will
continue to be alive as long as we remember it.

weekend.
Rock says the added business
hasn’t changed the family’s methods. They still hand cut, cube,
and bread each tenderloin. They
do not use fritters—any meat off
the hog—but only the prime center cut, which is one reason they
have been voted “Grant County’s
Greatest Tenderloin.” While everyone knows about tenderloins
being a family tradition at the
stand, most people are unaware
that the secret corndog recipe has
always been a staple at Rock’s
Concessions.
Despite the secret recipes and
promise of hand-breaded tenderloins, opening the windows is not
always as easy as it looks. First
they have to project daily sales to
purchase products to last an entire shift without letting too much
food go to waste. Then they have
to set up the stand and hand-cook
the food. While elephant ears and
tenderloins are their biggest sales,
they also serve corndogs, grilled
tenderloins, Angus steak burgers,
lemonade shake-ups and more.
Only when they have the fryers
ready and products on hand can
they officially open to the public.
This is when the crowd rushes
forward and the workers serve
the customers while keeping an
eye on all of their stock. There is
always a sense of stress as they
could run out of food or the power
could go out, but thankfully there
are usually on-hand electricians at
these festivals. When every customer is satisfied, they still are not
done. It is not until after they tear
down—clean all the supplies and
fryers, store the leftover food and
cart the trailers away—that their
day is finally finished.

Madison-Grant wins volleyball
sectional crown over Alexandria
The fourth time was finally the charm for Madison-Grant Saturday night.
After dropping three previous matches this year to
Alexandria, the Argylls
took the sectional title on
the Tigers’ home floor in
five tightly contested sets
by the scores of 24-26, 2518, 25-20, 26-28 and 15-9.
“When you’re used to
winning and then you lose
to someone like Alexandria, it hurts,” Robert Holloway,
Madison-Grant’s
head coach, said.
Outside hitter Maddie
Barnhart agreed. “We all
came together and we communicated real well. They
beat us three times, so we
were just all ready to go
and get them back,” she
said.
“We did change some
things up,” said Holloway.
He noted that the team had
changed its formation to
receive serve, especially
from Alexandria’s Megan
Miller and Blaine Kelly.
Holloway also encouraged his girls to throw in

>>See Rock’s, page 6
some soft, short serves,
“Just to throw them out
of rhythm, they’re a very
rhythmic team,” he said.
“...Stuff we didn’t do much
in the previous matches.”
The match’s rhythms
were dictated by the play
and position of Miller, Alexandria’s powerful outside hitter. When she was
in the front row, the Tigers
set for her repeatedly, and
the Argylls struggled to
stay even. When she was
in the back row, MadisonGrant could pull ahead.
“One of the things we
talked to our players about
was: ‘Don’t make boneheaded plays when she’s in
the back row,’” Holloway
said, “Because she’s so
good, you just want to keep
her in the back row.”
The Argylls made it a
point to defend any back
row attacks from Miller,
too. “I thought we did a
great job of passing her
back row attacks,” said
Holloway. “because she
usually gets a lot of points
from back row attacks,
and I thought we did a real
good job of that.”
“Their defense was superior to ours tonight,” said
Jeff Harmon, head coach
of Alexandria, “MadisonGrant’s defense was just so

discover stories in Grant County that
she otherwise would have missed.
Two summers ago, Clark covered a

was in showing these kids picking
up trash that she saw something she
wasn’t expecting. This was not just a
class picking up trash—the teacher
was using the activity to teach the

she would show the children interesting pieces from the past found
along their trail.

Ten years later, and Crossroads
hasn’t run out of stories. The Grant
County newsmagazine airing on
WIWU-TV recently celebrated its
10th anniversary with a special program looking back at some highlights from the past decade.
The show debuted on October 17,
2005. The first segment was coverage of Mississinewa 1812- which
Crossroads still covers on an annual
basis. Since then, WIWU-TV has
made over 250 30-minute episodes
depicting life in Grant County.
Even though the communication

has changed. Dr. Randall King, cohost and director of broadcast media

Panthers, Eagles advance from
IHSAA XC Regional to Semi-State
On a perfect day for cross
country, two of the county’s
teams advanced from the
IHSAA Marion Regional
held at Indiana Wesleyan
University’s course to the
Semi-State next weekend
at new Haven. Additionally, two girls and four boys
from Grant County schools
will advance as individual
runners to the next level.
The Eastbrook boys finished fourth with 118 points
to make the semi-state, despite having no one in the
top ten finishers. However,
senior Michael Neideck and
sophomore Connor White
finished 12th and 13th overall and the Panthers had a
score line of 11-12-26-30-
39 to move on.
“We came in knowing
our number five guy (Brett
Holder) was not going to
run (ankle injury), so we
needed everybody to step
up, and they did that,” said
Bryan Jackson, Eastbrook’s
head coach, “so I’m just
glad to move on and live to
fight another day.”
Asked about next week,
Jackson pointed out that
they will see a lot larger
schools, plus the three
teams that finished ahead
of Eastbrook at this meet,
so, “I think next week for
us is about going and racing
against some really good
competition and having fun.

The Marion Giants’ girls
sccer team lost a heartbreaker Saturday, dropping a 1-0 decision to the
defending state champions
Fishers in the Logansport
regional championship.
Fishers got a goal from
senior Brad Riley about
halfway through the first
period and made it stand
up, playing tough, disciplined defense to record the
shutout.
The Giants came within
inches of flipping the script.
fter Fishers dominated possession and the run of play
in the first half, Marion
came out in the second half
and played at a higher level, creating chances and using their physical play to
gain more possession time.
Senior Kaylan Williams
hit the underside of the
crossbar on two separate
occasions, only to see the
ball deflect downwards into
the field of play and not
back far enough to cross the
goal line for a score.
The Tigers, meanwhile,
dropped more and more
girls into the defense and
were content to counterattack when given the opportunity.
The Giants never could
crack the defense, and
dropped the decision to end
their season at 16-5-1.
Earlier in the week, the
Giants had handled Harrison 3-0 to advance to the
title game.

On Saturday, October 10, The
News Herald held a forum for the

on the Marion City Council. The
forum began with opening statements by each candidate, followed
by questions and then closing statements from each. The following is
a synopsis of what the candidates
had to say that morning:

Members of one of the 12 eight-person team of cadets pass a teammate through a spider-web maze during
the Marion High School JROTC Field Day last week in Matter Park. “It’s an opportunity for the cadets to develop physical skills and leadership skills as part of a team,” said Lt. Col. David Farlow, commanding officer,
“I love to see them encouraging other to go beyond what they think they can do.” Farlow said that the program makes it a point to partner with “organizations who have dedicated their lives to the service of others,”
such as the Marion police and fire departments, and recruiters from all of the military branches.

Rock’s to celebrate 40th with giveaway
Customer Appreciation Day planned for Gas City
Rock’s Concessions—a familiar site in Grant County—turns 40
this year, and to celebrate they are
hosting a Customer Appreciation
Day in Gas City Park. From 4-7
p.m. on Thursday, October 22,
Rock’s will hand out free samples
of tenderloin sliders, elephant
ears, and corndogs as a thank you
to loyal customers.
The stand opened in 1975. Bill
Rock took over the concession
stand from his parents in 1994,
keeping it in the family and upholding its traditions. In 2003, his
sister joined the business and took
over one of the concession trailers.
Although the family runs the
business, there are nearly 21
workers who sell concessions.
These roles are filled by high
school students, college kids and
other people from the community. Some of the employees have
worked at the concession stand for
nearly 15 years. There is not only
community between coworkers
and customers, but also between
competitors. With so many fairs
and festivals in the area, a lot of
the stands work alongside one
another and get to know each
other well. When big festivals roll
around, Bill and his family even
host other concession stand workers from out of town and provide a
place to park their trailers.
Bill recently purchased a new
trailer for tenderloins and elephant ears. Having four trailers
allows the business to work multiple events like the James Dean
Festival and Ducktail Run—
which both take place on the same

Mississinewa 1812 is full of stories. From the reenactments, to the
vendors, to the Native American storytellers--the living history museum
promises the visitor will “have fun,
eat good food, and learn something.”
The 28th annual event out of La Fontaine is the largest of its kind in the
United States, thanks to the plethora
of volunteers and vendors who give
their time to the three-day event.
The site is made up of multiple
camps--British, American, and Native
American--with the intent of showing visitors not just how the people
of 1812 fought, but how they lived.
Attendees get the chance to take part
in the lifestyle by trying traditional
foods such as French pancakes, war
balls, and pork cooked over a fire.
Vendors also provide the opportunity for visitors to purchase attire and
artifacts of the time, such as handknit hats and gloves and homemade
soap with a variety of scents including some more of a fantastical nature
such as “dragon’s blood.” Each of
these vendors come with knowledge
about both their craft and the time
period and are happy to answer questions.
All of them have one thing in
common. When asked why he participated, blacksmith John Massey
answered simply “I’m interested in
history.” Those involved in 1812
have a passion for looking back, and
believe in sharing it with the next generation. “It’s tremendous fun…[that]
helps people learn about history…”
said Susan Spencer.
The main event is the reenactment
of the battle itself. Through the smoke
of the cannons and the sounds of gunfire the experience educated those

ver heard the statement, rules are
made to be broken?
In the NCAA rules
are made, and, if broken, a
player or university can be
heavily penalized.
Remember Reggie Bush?
USC suffered for giving
money to his family and
he had to give back his
Heisman trophy. Penn State
was stripped of wins and
the legacy of Joe Paterno
tarnished for actions done
by an assistant coach in the
locker room.
Now there’s talk of LSU’s
Leonard Fournette’s family
having inproprieties with the
university.
What about Ohio State’s
JT Barrett’s slap on the
hand for his DUI? Yet another Urban Meyer special.
Instead of really teaching
this young man, the school
suspended Barrett one game
and took away financial aid
and class time during the
summer. Isn’t summer when
he isn’t expected to be on
the football field? That’s
convenient.
Meyer did a similar thing
while at the University of
Florida with a tight end by
the name of Aaron Hernandez. Remember how that
story turned out?
While Urban Meyer’s
discipline may not be up
to my standards, another
story that has me wondering
why it’s not the lead story

over her eye. At the end
of the second quarter she
was back, though, and on
Marion’s final two possessions she buried two
three-pointers to stretch a
17-13 lead to 23-13 at the
half. Weaver would hit another three in the second
half and finish with 11.
In the third quarter,
Marion’s Vironnica Drake
took charge, penetrating and finishing several
times--something
she
had been unable to do in
the first half. She added a
three-pointer and finished
on Sportscenter is that of a
Notre Dame academic coach
who was fired after arranging sexually and racially
motivated encounters with
her daughter in exchange for
academic favors.
The student has now
filed a lawsuit. The former
football player had dated her
daughter and was given free
housing, an NCAA rules
violation. Add to that the
sexual liaisons going on and
this makes for an NCAA
rules nightmare.
But could it be the NCAA
turning a blind eye to this
because it’s Notre Dame?
Let’s face it, if this were a
story from USC, Florida
State, Michigan, or Texas,
the NCAA would drop the
hammer on future recruits
and current players and spoil
their chance to compete.
The NCAA, where rules
are made, expected to be
followed, but sometimes it
with 12.
“We had a game last
night, so our legs were a
little dead,” said Freshwater, “Once we got warmed
up, we kind of got after it
a little bit.”
The fourth quarter belonged to Julia Cardwell,
who took over inside. She
had nine of game-high 15
points in the final stanza
and was strong on the
boards and in the paint.
“Outstanding all-around
player,” said Freshwater,
“She hit some big free
throws for us.”
“Great game tonight,”
he said, “The girls really
got after it.”
