GARRETT — Garrett electric utility users will see an increase in rates beginning in 2014.

Consultant Rod Sibery of Spectrum Engineering presented fi ndings 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 fi gures showing the city’s revenue require-ment for the utility at $8.98 million

for the period, with operating revenues at $7.31 million, resulting in a defi cit 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 infrastruc-ture maintenance, truck and equipment replacement and other capital improvement costs.

Sibery said the average Garrett resident using 1,000 kilowatt-hours 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 defi cit has

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 Brinker-hoff said the wastewater utility rate ordinance includes language requiring the rates to be reviewed on an annual basis, and he said the

AUBURN —A DeKalb County jury will hear the case of a former local police offi cer 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, Hunter-town, is charged with two counts of theft, both Class D felonies. Kahkola had been a Garrett police offi cer from 1997 through 2005. He joined the Auburn Police Department in 2005 and resigned from the Auburn force April 16, 2012.

Monday, Kahkola, his attorney, Kevin Likes, and special prosecutor Joe Rowe appeared for a fi nal pre-trial conference in DeKalb Superior Court I.

The parties did not reach a plea agreement, and Judge Kevin Wallace confi rmed 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 depart-ments items the federal govern-ment no longer wants, free of charge. By Jan. 5, 2006, Kahkola was listed on the truck’s title as its

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 offi ce building that will become the Draft Animal Museum just south of Auburn.

Association president Myron Stackhouse shared the associa-tion’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

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 fi led 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

the property.Whan said a perennial garage

sale in the 1400 block of West King Street shows signs of clean-up efforts. Homeowner Dave Easterday, who was present at Monday’s meeting, was ordered to clean up the mess by the end of October at the last meeting by Whan, who serves as the town’s abatement offi cer.

But neighbor Betty Myers said the property is still an eyesore and the only thing her 96-year-old sister-in-law who lives across the

50 Years AgoWhen the city election

rolled around on Nov. 5, 1963, there would be 2,449 eligible voters to cast ballots in the six precincts. Garrett showed a loss of 200 registered voters since 1959.

Garrett Jaycees and president Max Bock said members of the civic group would furnish free transpor-tation to the polls for the election.

Six Eagle Scout awards were presented at Garrett Troop 162 and Explorer Troop 2162 at the Garrett Methodist Church. Eagle awards were presented to Glen Ludban, Ben Ordas, Tom Engle and Joe Eldridge of Post 2162 and Steve McGrath and Tom Carpenter of Troop 162 during the Court of Honor.

Welsh was scheduled to fl y to Smith Field in Fort Wayne, then travel by automobile to the DuPont exchange, then travel to Greenhurst Country Club in Auburn for the luncheon.

Democrat Cecil E. Miller was elected mayor of Garrett with a 117-vote plurality over Republican opponent Joseph McCorkel. Republicans captured three of fi ve seats on the council — Don Alpin, Lawrence Bowmar and Donald Zern. Democrat council members

included Don Jeffrey and Richard Burtch. Clerk-trea-surer Bertha Beeber was re-elected by a 568-vote margin over Republican opponent Paul Grimm. The election showed Garrett voters crossed party lines throughout the city.

Jacqueline Sue Weller, daughter of Miles and Louise Weller was chosen as the DAR Good Citizen

for the 1964 senior class at Garrett High School. She would now compete by written examina-tions against

other DeKalb County candidates to determine the county winner. Jackie ranks fourth in her class and has been active on the student council.

Leichty earning honorable mention. Adam O’Connor also earned NECC honorable mention for football. Jamie Bertsch was presented a special four-year award for his four years as football manager.

Garrett Police Chief Jerry Custer released police statistics for the month of October, including 215 complaints, and 113 service calls. The department investigated three thefts, one case of mischief, six incident cases, one auto theft and a burglary. The squad cars were driven 6,480 miles.

The fi rst recycling day in Garrett was planned Dec.10, 1988. Mayor Charles Davis and his committee of Norb Deuitch and George Talley organized the event. Residents were urged to collect and save items such as newspapers, aluminum cans, glass, auto batteries and used motor oil. The collection site would be at the city barn on Quincy Street. A second recycling day would be at the end of February.

Garrett wrestling coach Jim Slain announced the team roster in early November. Returning lettermen included seniors Butch Hedges, Scott Carr, Brian Johnson, Tim Chervenka, Scott Zolman and Doug Mossberger; and juniors Thom Flecken-stein, Jim Molargik, Dino Marti, Eric Baker and Dan Holbrook.

AUBURN — The Northeast Indiana Federa-tion of Business & Profes-sional Women has named its Remarkable Women for 2013-2014, a news release said.

They are Sharon Zonker, author of “Twelve Remarkable Women of DeKalb County” and Christina Koher, executive director of the Angola Area Chamber of Commerce.

Zonker has been extensively involved in presenting seminars on the Civil War, slavery in America and women’s rights. She has presented in Charleston, S.C., Gettys-burg, Pa., and numerous other locations. Zonker holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Indiana University.

Koher has been instru-mental in revitalizing the chamber since her employ-ment began in February, a news release said. She brings nearly 20 years of experience in public relations, event planning, marketing and manage-ment. Previously she was

The awards will be presented at Bridgewater Golf Club on Thursday at 6:30 p.m.

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-fl avored loaves this weekend at Auburn Presby-terian Church.

In 1971, baker Erton Manon offered his recipe to Kiwanis as a fundraising project to benefi t 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 benefi ting 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

Hallmark, Mettert’s Water Care, Peoples Federal Savings Bank, Richards Restaurant, Satisfaction Style Salon/Upword Living, Shear Expressions Salon, Sprinkling Can, The Star newspaper offi ce;

Garrett: Beacon Credit Union, Garrett Hardware, Garrett New Market Grocery, Hair Depot, Peoples Federal Savings & Loan;

Corunna: Albright’s Grocery;

owner, according to court documents. On July 28, 2008, Kahkola sold the truck to his parents for $500.

The second theft charge relates to the sale of a 2002 camper that Kahkola also procured while he was a police offi cer in Auburn.

A second police offi cer, Michael S. Reneau of Garrett, was a co-defendant in the case. Earlier this year,

Reneau pleaded guilty to theft, a Class D felony, as part of a plea agreement fi led in DeKalb Superior Court I. In April, Wallace sentenced Reneau to three years of incarceration, all suspended, and three years of probation, as called for by the plea agreement. 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.

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. That tradition lives with this club here today,”

In 1942, the Draft Horse Club, now the Horsemen’s

Association, incorporated, according to Harshman. With eight to 15 members, dues were 50 cents a year, and Harry Provines was the fi rst 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 associa-tion offi cers lined up to dig the fi rst shovelfuls of dirt for the project. They included

members Jim Koehl, Harshman, Carunchia, Rick James, member Bill Knott, Terry Bechman, local manager for Anderson Farms, vice president Dick Griffi s and Stackhouse.

Stackhouse also thanked area farmers including Brechbill Farms, Haynes

Farms, Kelham Farms, Lemper Farms and Suttons Farms for their help with farm work over the years.

Stackhouse said the association hopes to have concrete work done yet this fall for construction to get underway.

same would be done for the electric rates.

“I hope you and your successors adopt that philos-ophy, 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 confi rming 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 offi cers working in the Operation Pullover Seat Belt Enforcement Program to $35 per hour.

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 offi cer 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 certifi cates of deposit will be moved when they mature to avoid penalty fees; and

• allow the 4-H Clover-leafs, 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 fi lled.

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 proper-ties and get them back on the tax roll.
