B & J Specialty sought a five-year abatement on personal property taxes for equipment at its Albion facility, but was granted an eight-year abatement by the council instead. B & J said the investment of approximately $1 million in new equipment would add five to eight jobs to its Wawaka plant. It sought a five-year phase-in of property taxes on the equipment.

The matrix includes a cost-ben- efit analysis for calculating how long an abatement should run. Monday was the first time it was used by the County Council. Only the resolution for the abatement could be approved Monday, because paperwork didn’t include the exact cost of the new equipment, said Noble County Auditor Jackie Knafel. The council will vote on the actual abatement in November. The council approved the resolution 5-1, with Councilman Wayne Clouse opposed. Also Monday, the council: • approved 6-0 the county’s proposed $21 million budget. The proposal includes $9.6 million for the county’s general fund, $3.4 million for highways, $645,000 for local roads and streets and $234,375 for the new Community Corrections program. Also in the budget are $603,985 for adult probation, $162,800 for work crews for drainage, $584,490 for statewide E-911 and $118,078 for reassess- ment. The proposed budget includes $931,134 in cuts made by the council from amounts requested by county officers. The budget still must be approved by the state before it is official.

STAR OF THE WESTLIGONIER, INDIANA

LIGONIER TELEPHONE CO., INC.894-7161

I have been preaching on Sunday mornings mainly from Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians, and am sending out some challenges for us today.

As a minister, even though I have more years behind me than ahead of me, I am greatly concerned about the health of the Church, at this point.

I was born in a political family whose involvement goes back a number of generations. In the process of community involvement, I’ve not tried to wear two hats but to simply be myself all of the time; believing and praying it would work and for the most part I believe it has.

Since I became a Christian in August of 1956, I’ve endeavored to make Christ my highest single priority from that point on. I’ve found that when love for Christ is our fi rst love, He enables us to love more when it comes to family, friends, workmates, business and social associates, and our country.

No, the journey from 1956 to 2013 has not

always been smooth, pleasant and fun. There are, however, places in my trip that I could not have made it through without the One who has never left my side, and never let me down.

There is indeed, “one that sticks closer than a brother.”

A careful study of any kind of history will teach us that life and the universe works in cycles, and has a habit or repeating itself. An excellent example is the global warming farce. All that they see and are reporting on this has already happened many times before in the history of our earth.

Back to Paul’s letter; he points out the very real danger of apostasy in the Church among believers.

In our day, we are

witnessing something never seen before in our own nation’s history, and that is the all-out attack upon the Christian faith by not just the usual number of people in the populace who always do, but by our govern-ment including President, Congress and courts as well.

In sharing with people, I don’t know that many really are aware of the extent of the opposition.

In calling our attention to the man of lawlessness, the Church advises there are forces — including supernatural — that seek the destruction of the Church and our faith.

The “fading away” that Paul warned us about is in progress now, with the past couple of generations seeing both church membership and attendance in decline. The loss in numbers not only refl ects a “falling away” but also will have the effect of dulling our clout at the ballot box when we vote.

In the present fading away among believers, we see not only more people staying home on Sundays,

but many of those people still professing to be Christian believers but not practicing their faith. I have found many local people who brag about their church affi liation who have no idea what the pastor’s name is or who he is.

We throw away our privilege of supporting the church and its ministry, the much needed group fellow-ship and support, social needs, and a major source of help for your marriage, raising children, leaning on special people when discouraged, ill, facing sore trials that frustrate us in life, and so many other advantages.

I’ve so much on my mind now but no space left. I would like to invite you too honestly consider attending the church of your choice Sunday morning, and let’s try to turn the cycle around.

And tell your pastor: John sent you

KENDALLVILLE — In the aftermath of a disaster — such as tornado, house fi re or fl ood, the devasta-tion can affect an entire community — leaving many without a place to live.

The American Red Cross has the capability to open shelters in Noble County in the event of a disaster such as this to house and feed hundreds of residents who have been displaced. However, they cannot do it alone.

The American Red Cross urges people to train as a “Disaster Services Shelter Partner” and be able to respond to emergencies in your community.

In order to increase the number of trained individuals in Noble County, the Red Cross is offering a one-day training opportunity in Kendallville on Oct. 19.

“Although we have been fortunate enough to not have the need to open up a mass shelter in Noble County, the possibility always exist,” explains David Hockley, Noble County liaison to the American Red Cross of Northeast Indiana. “Being prepared ahead of time is essential, and the need for trained shelter workers is urgent.”

For anyone interested in participating in the disaster training day, here are some details:

• When: Saturday, Oct. 19, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

• Where: CrossPointe Family Church, 210 Highpointe Crossing, Kendallville

• A box lunch will be provided to all participants.

• What: Certifi ed American Red

Cross disaster instructors will present “Disaster Services: An Overview and Shelter Fundamentals” — two courses needed to become a Shelter Partner

• Charge: Free• Materials needed: Bring a pad/pen

to take notesIf you or anyone you know would be

interested in attending this event, please contact the American Red Cross of Northeast Indiana’s Executive Coordi-nator, Monica Herbst at 484-9336, ext.204.

Please consider the benefi ts to becoming a shelter partner and assisting those who are most in need in your community. Together, we can bring steadfast hope and swift aid to all victims of disaster.

American Red Cross offers special training session on Oct. 19

Free ‘Write a Will’ workshops planned for later this monthLIGONIER — “Write A Will” workshops, sponsored

by the Noble County Community Foundation and Kendall-ville attorney Douglas Atz, will be held in three locations in October. Dates and locations are:

• Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2-4 p.m., Kendallville Public Library;• Wednesday, Oct. 23, 6-8 p.m., Noble County Public

Library — West, Albion, Shultz Meeting Room;• Thursday, Oct. 24, 4-6 p.m., Noble County Community

Foundation, 1599 Lincolnway South, Ligonier.There will be a limited number of seats available. Partici-

pants are encouraged to register as soon as possible for the free workshops by calling the Noble County Community Founda-tion at 894-3335 or sending an email to [email protected]. Be sure to include name, address and phone number.

“A will is one of the most important documents you will execute during your lifetime,” said Linda Yerick, the founda-tion’s executive director. “Attorney Doug Atz has continued to volunteer to work with the foundation to share how tremen-dously important it is to have a will.”

In the workshop sessions, attendees will discover how unique a will can be for families. A will can have a profound effect on the fi nancial well-being of family members, friends and institutions. Discussions during the workshop explain the ‘how to’ gather the information needed to work with a profes-sional and attendees will receive a booklet called “Planning Your Will.”

Attendees of the “Write a Will” workshop may at the conclusion schedule the actual preparation of a will by Atz at minimal or no cost to the participant. The actual document will not be prepared on site.

However, attendees can schedule an appointment for a preparation of a will and, for those attendees who choose to include one or more monetary charitable gifts in their estate through the Noble County Community Foundation, will receive a simple will at no cost.

We offer more help so that you are able to get your information out to more people and receive results quickly.

West Noble running back Payton Shrock is chased by Central Noble’s defense during Friday’s NECC football game played in Ligonier.

The dynasty continues!

BY BOB [email protected]

LIGONIER — The West Noble and Central Noble football teams were playing for pride when the cross-county rivals collided in Ligonier Friday night.

Both squads came into the game with 1-5 records, and on paper were pretty evenly matched. The fi nal statistics also proved to be very even was West Noble moved to 2-5.

In the end, both teams were able to leave the game with a little more than they came in with, but it was the West Noble Chargers who emerged as the biggest winners, 20-14, in defensive battle that also marked West Noble’s homecoming.

West Noble coach Monte Mawhorter had lots of good things to talk about this week, after the win.

“Central Noble is vastly improved from last year with several athletes returning to football after taking a year off. Their speed surprised us a little at fi rst but the defense was able to adjust,” Mawhorter said.

“After playing a error-fi lled fi rst half, we were much better in the third quarter, scoring twice in two possessions.”

Payton Shrock and Levi Nelson were the workhorses in the backfi eld and Landon Stover showed his versatility in leading the team in catches, while running the ball as well.

“That trio, plus Brandon Moser, Dillon Alexander and Riley McFarren, will improve every game and make it very hard to key on any one person,” Mawhorted noted.

Quarterback Waylon Richardson gets better every time out, completing 6 out of 10 passes and two TDs in the game.

“As the offensive line improves, I expect to score more points in every game,” Mawhorter said.

The Charger offensive line consists of one senior (Adam Hursey), two juniors (Kyler Warble and Steven Ramirez) and two sophomores, (Tyler Huff and Zach Ratliff).

Last week was the fi rst game the Chargers have

been at full strength since week two, and that had a lot to do with the win.

“We were able to rest several kids throughout the game who were then able to play at a higher level at the end of the game,” the coach said. “The strength of the team is still the defensive players, who were able to hold the CN team to only two scores in spite of poor fi eld position much of the game.”

Mawhorter said he looks forward to the Chargers fi nishing up the season on a very high note. They have two games left; on the road at Prairie Heights this week and then at home against Fremont on Senior Night.

“Prairie Heights is a very athletic team that plays very physical football,” Mawhorter noted. “They have a large group of seniors that have been starting for them since they were sophs. We will have to play very well and improve on the turnovers to win.”

Bradley Pyle was WN’s second-best runner on the day and third overall in the NECC meet.

LIGONIER — West Noble’s boys team carried on a winning tradition in Saturday’s Northeast Corner Conference cross country meet, held Saturday on the West Noble campus.

The boys won the NECC championship trophy behind the fi rst-place effort of Brandon Arnold, while the girls were a very respectable second place fi nisher as a team.

For the West Noble boys, this was the Chargers’ 12th consecutive NECC title. The dynasty was helped by the Chargers placing four runners in the top 10 to outpace second-place Fairfi eld.

West Noble’s Arnold, a junior, won the boys’ individual championship in a time of 16:54.05, while Fremont’s Abby Hostetler returned to the winner’s circle after a year’s absence. She won this race as a sophomore and placed second in last year’s race. This year she enjoyed a huge 47-second lead over the second-place fi nisher Amairany Cruz of West

Noble.In the girls’ division,

following Fremont’s 25 points and West Noble with 55 points, were: 3. Fairfi eld 70; 4. Angola 96; 5. Westview 118; and 6. Lakeland 125.

West Noble’s boys had a team score of 35. Fairfi eld was second with 74, followed by: 3. Lakeland 80, 4. Angola 125; 5. Westview 130; 6. Churubusco 144; 7. Prairie Heights 155, 8. Fremont 164, and 9. Central Noble 250.

West Noble coach Rusty Emmert said his squad was looking for a team victory heading into next week’s sectional race, which also will be run over the 5K course at West Noble.

“Brandon Arnold ran strong for us today,” Emmert said. “It wasn’t one of his best times, but today was just about going out and getting a win.”

Arnold’s teammate, Bradley Pyle, stepped up to a third-place fi nish overall. Also in the top 10 for the Chargers were Alex deLuna in sixth and Salvador

Campos, ninth.“Brad Pyle’s been

running very, very well here in his senior year,” Emmert said, “and Alex deLuna, a sophomore, ran just an awesome race. I’m very pleased with everyone.”

Other top 10 runners for West Noble included Kennedy Jones and Yvette Rojas in eighth and ninth, respectively. Grace Ness rounded out the Charger scoring with an 18th place fi nish.

In the boys’ competi-tion, Fairfi eld’s Alexander Oberlin came in second place, eight seconds behind Arnold.

Logan Weimer fi nished in 16th place with a time of 17:48.24, right ahead of teammate Justin Contreras who was 17th in a time of 17:58.16. Erick Contreras was close behind in 19th place for the Chargers at 18:08.13.

The top 15 runners in each race were designated as all-conference honorees.

The sectional will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 15, also at West Noble.

LIGONIER — West Noble’s volleyball team closed out its homecourt season in exciting fashion Tuesday night, as the girls defeated Wawasee 22-25, 25-18, 25-23, 10-25, 15-13 on Tuesday in a nonconference match.

Kelsie Peterson fi nished with 25 digs, 28 assists and six kills, while also going 16-for-16 at the service line for the Chargers. Rachel Schermerhorn contributed 17 kills and 13 digs. Amanda Huntsman had 16 digs and was 16-for-16 serving.

Taylor Fisher also had six kills for West Noble while Vanessa Ratliff had four, as did Cara Groff and Kaylie Warble. Ratliff also had three aces.

The season is far from over, as the Chargers travel to Prairie Heights today and then play in the Whitko Invite on Saturday.

The PH games include 9th graders, JV and varsity.

West Noble is 4-14 on the season and Wawasee is 14-14.

The NECC volleyball tournament is set for next week at Westview with the Chargers coming on strong at the just the right time.

Charger girls post big win over Wawasee

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

West Noble senior volleyball players Kelsie Peterson, left, and Rachel Schermerhorn were recognized prior to Tuesday night’s match against Wawasee. Both girls had great games for the Chargers, who posted an upset win over Wawasee in the home match.

In the win last Friday night, Central Noble scored the fi rst and last touchdowns, but in between West Noble was able to put one more touchdown on the board than the Cougars could muster.

West Noble responded to CN’s fi rst-quarter TD on the fi rst play in the second quarter as quarterback Waylon Richardson hit Landon Stover for an 11-yard scoring strike. A penalty on the point-after allowed the Chargers to go for two on the PAT, and Richardson ran it in from a yard out for an 8-7 lead.

The Chargers struck paydirt twice in the third quarter. Payton Shrock ran the ball in from the seven-yard line for the fi rst of those two scores. Moments before, he broke loose for a 30-yard run to set up the TD.

With fi ve minutes left in the quarter, West Noble’s Kyler Warble intercepted a Central noble pass, giving the Chargers the ball near midfi eld. A minute later, Richardson hit Dilon Alexander with a 43-yard touchdown pass. The PAT kick was blocked, putting the score at 20-7 in the Chargers’ favor with 4:31 left in the third quarter.

West Noble turned the ball over downs late in the game but the Charger defense forced a Central Noble punt with 3:27 left in the game. From there, the Chargers were able to run out the clock and claim the victory.

The ball was slippery as the most of the third quarter was played in a rainstorm. Each team fumbled fi ve times.

Levi Nelson ran the ball 18 times for 88 yards while Shrock had 10 runs for 56 yards. Richardson completed six-of-11 passes for 110 yards.

The football team, cheerleaders and many fans work pink jerseys or shirts to Friday’s game to show support for the fi ght against breast cancer. No word yet if the Chargers will be wearing pink at this week’s road game.

night and disposes of each bride by morning until Scheherazade, his most recent

bride, outwits him by telling him a different story, tale or fable each night in order

to stay alive for at least 1001 nights. One Thousand and One Nights is a collection

of West and South Asian stories and folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islam-

ic Golden Age. The play is told as a story within a story and has been masterfully

translated and adapted by Mary Zimmerman.
