LIGONIER — The city council completed more paperwork earlier this month that could lead to the razing of a century-old eyesore in the city. The city is pursuing a $225,000 grant from the Indiana Depart- ment of Natural Resources and the state’s Office of Community and Rural Affairs. Bob Murphy, a consultant specializing in municipal grants, gave council members a rundown of the grant request at the council’s Nov. 12 meeting. The building is believed to have been built in the last part of the 19th century and was home to the Wirk Garment factory for several decades. But the three-story structure is deteriorating and needs to come down. It is located on S.R. 5 at the north end of the downtown area. It has not been used for production purposes for more than 35 years. In the last part of the 1990s, a nonprofit group, Discovery Express, took ownership of the building and tried to rehabili- tate it for a faith-based science museum and tourist attraction. But that group, after making some improvements over a three-year period, eventually gave up their project and has since disbanded. The building has a leaky roof, all of its windows have been removed and the foundation is shaky, Murphy said. Murphy said he is hopeful the city will get the grant from the state.

It also provides the opportunity for their posters to be advanced to the national and even interna- tional levels of competition. West Noble Middle School art teacher Susan Sprague said the contest remains popular with her students. “This year we had 60 entries and I was impressed with all of them,” she said.

Over the years, the Cromwell-Kimmell Lions have donated several thousand dollars to the winners of its peace poster contest.

There are two age groups; one for 11- and 12-year-olds and another for 13- an 14-year-olds. “I am amazed at the talent shown by our local students each year,” said Lions Club member Teresa Airgood, who has coordinated the contest for the Cromwell-Kimmell Lions for the past few years. “It’s a true pleasure to be a part of this contest and to see the beautiful work done by these young men and women.” First place this year in the younger age group was Zarelia Guzman, while Rocio Ruvalcaba won the top prize in the older age group. Guzman’s work has been sent on to the Lions International headquarters for judging at the national level. The grand prize for the international winner is $5,000 cash and trip to the United Nations in New York City.

BY BOB BUTTGEN, EDITORIf you are between the ages of 58 to 66, more or less, you were
in your school classroom when the nation heard the terrifying news 50 years ago that President John Fitzgerald Kennedy had been slain by an assassin’s bullet in Dallas, Texas.
For me, it was Mrs. Regina Hart’s classroom at Johnson Elementary in Davenport, Iowa. I was in the fourth grade and leave it to me to get in trouble on the day of this national tragedy.
This scenario was played out in probably much the same way in thousands of classrooms in all 50 states that day. Our principal, Hank Krambeck, called Mrs. Hart out of the room. She came back in, weeping. She was elderly, strict but a good teacher and a lot nicer than most of us gave her credit for.
She struggled with the words but fi nally told us that our President was dead. As we tried to wrap our heads around this horrifying notion, reactions were varied.
My personal recollection was that I asked her, in a fairly normal way, “Who in the heck did it? Did they catch the guy? Who would shoot the President?”
Apparently she did not perceive me in the same way I thought I was being perceived. She got very upset with me and ordered me out of the room and down to the principal’s offi ce. I’m sure I was crying and couldn’t understand why she did this. She thought I was being frivolous.
This day haunted me for many year. I don’t think there were any repercussions when school resumed the next week. But I could never remember what I said or how I said that upset her so much.
So the other week I sent a message to a classmate of mine, who I recall was somewhat involved with this situation. I won’t give his name here. But we talk on Facebook regularly. I asked him if he remembered that day and what happened to me. Here is his unedited response, in full:
I just remember sitting in the back of the room either cheering or smiling. Didn’t you get sent to the principal’s offi ce for it instead of me? My little Republican brain went home and told my mom how great it was that JFK was killed, and I got the scolding of my life.
My friend’s family were John Birchers and even that age he was brainwashed. So that’s my little slice of personal history on the most tragic day in history of this country, in my lifetime, anyway.
I’m glad he remembered it that way because it takes a burden off of me. — More next week.

Noble Township trustee resigns
building and clear the property. The city will have to add another $25,000 and that money is expected to come from the Ligonier Redevelopment Commis-sion.
Ligonier Mayor Patty Fisel said the city is hopeful that the property can be developed once the land is cleared.
Council members approved resolutions to apply for the grant and proceed with a plan to purchase the building. City attorney Steve Hagen said he believes the property can be purchased for $1 from what’s left of Discovery Express.
Council member Ken Schuman asked Murphy about problems with the condition of soil from
possible contamination. Murphy said “as far as we know” no problems have been detected with the land.
In another matter, the council heard from Mark Furkis, a member of the Future Ligonier Alliance. That community-im-provement group wants to place informational and directional signs in the downtown area.
The group would pay for the sign once approval is received from the council and Indiana Department of Transportation.
The signs would go on Cavin Street in the downtown area, which is also S.R. 5. They would point out parking spots and tourist attractions for visitors.

November 22, 1963, is one of those few dates that when mentioned you know exactly where you were.
I was working for General Motors at the Delco Battery plant in Muncie at the time.
As I remember, it was past lunch time, Friday, and the biggest thing on everyone’s mind was that it was a couple or three hours before the weekend started. The breaking news that President Kennedy had been shot came from two sources to us. The front offi ce who had radios and telephones handy, and the guys in the break room who often had a radio going.
The hate between the two political sides back then did not contain the gross hate that surrounds us today.
The weekend was spent watching TV and listening to the radio reports as they came streaming in. With the stage set now, I’ll go into what I think was the
probability of events since most who read and study history know the rest.
First, I have always had serious doubt that Lee Harvey Oswald was the single gunman if indeed he was even involved. A
lady in that same building said she would have had to see him from where she was, and she reported he was never spotted by her.
Evidence gathered by skilled private investigators maintain that the shots came from the grassy knoll, and that there were two shooters and not one. Based on their evidence, I believe that.
Yes, I am also thoroughly convinced that
there was a planned plot to take JFK out. I believe the Soviet Union played a minor role, Lee Harvey Oswald was a decoy, and that U.S. Government departments were involved in the plan.
Suspicious to me is the fact that there were no less than 18 eyewitnesses, and all of them died or disappeared within a time frame of three years.
Their reports did confl ict with the Warren Commis-sion report, but many never got to get their message out.
So the next question might be, what prompted it? President Kennedy had 2 large operations which stirred emotions.
First, he challenged the Soviet Union’s attempt to set guided missiles in Cuba. The invasion called “The Bay of Pigs” was a failed attempt to unseat Castro from power. Did Castro have a hand in it? We don’t know.
Also, JFK’s brother
Bobby was the U.S. Attorney General, and was very busy attempting to fi ght corruption, especially among some of the labor unions. This brings up the probability that the mafi a could have been entangled with U.S. Government offi cials.
There is lots of evidence to back up most of my suspicions, and even more material still classifi ed that has never been released by the FBI. Most of America smelled a rat to start with that they didn’t get it right.
I still believe there is even more blame for it to be spread around, but I’ll keep that on the shelf for now. I have doubts that we will ever really know what really took place and who all was behind it or that it will be revealed.

Community supports benefi t for fi refi ghter Jimmy Heintzelman

CROMWELL —A benefi t dinner and silent auction for James “Jimmy” Heintzelman, a member of the Sparta Township Fire Department, drew quite a crowd to the fi re station in Cromwell Saturday night.
People had a chance to peruse through more than 100 items in the auction. A hog roast dinner was served along with other activities to help Heintzelman and his family.
The 34-year veteran of the department has been in and out of the hospital in recent months with a medical disorder, and can no longer work.
Donations are still being accepted for the Jimmy Heintzelman Fund at the fi re station. Send donations to:

came into the West Noble gym hunting for its fi rst win of the girls basketball season Tuesday night.
And while they were successful with a 59-47 victory over the Chargers, the Lady Hornets knew they had been in a fi ght. The fi nal score didn’t refl ect just how tight of a contest it was between the two Northeast Corner Conference rivals.
Each squad enjoyed the ebb and fl ow of holding a lead in the game before the Hornets were able to come out on top. Both teams left the game with 1-2 records.
The game was tied at 14-14 after the fi rst eight minutes. West Noble led by a dozen, 28-16, in the second quarter before Angola recovered and enjoyed a seven-point lead at 41-34 near the end of the third period.
The Chargers came back
and knotted things up at 41-all early in the fourth quarter before AHS took control of the game. The Hornets outscored West Noble 18-8 in the fi nal quarter.
The victory, Angola coach John Berger said, “came from us sticking to our game plan and not panicking when we were down. We knew if we could withstand that run of theirs, and make some baskets, we’d be in good shape.”
Both teams enjoyed balanced scoring with only three girls in double fi gures but 14 different girls scoring points.
Kelsie Peterson, the lone senior on the Chargers’ roster, paced her team with 22 points including four three-pointers. Kenzie Cox had nine points and Taylor Fisher scored eight for West Noble.
Claire Grubb, a junior, sparked Angola with 14 points while senior Alexis Scott had ten for the winners. Abby Buchs and Kaitlyn Brandt scored eight points each.
West Noble coach Dale Marano said his team was disappointed with the loss but will fi nd some good in it.
“We showed some promise
tonight,” Marano said. “There were times during the game where we were very, very good and now we’re looking for that consistency. Despite the disappointing loss there’s a lot of promising things that are going to push us through.”
“We knew coming in here we would be in for a fi ght,” Berger said of the road victory. “We’re a very young team so there’s going to be these types of games. But as long as we stick to our game plan, we’ll be alright.”
Berger gave special mention to Grubb and Scott for their play and also credited Tana Willibey, a junior for “coming off the bench and giving us some good minutes.”
Marano praised the play of Peterson along with Shawna Young, a junior point guard. “Shawna’s efforts, especially on defense, was outstanding; she gave us a spark we needed,” he said.
Angola gained momentum at the end of the second quarter when Abby Buchs sank a three-point shot at the buzzer that knocked a seven-point West Noble lead down to four points heading into the lockerroom.
“That basket really turned things around for Angola,” Marano said.
In its third-quarter rally, Angola was helped by three-point buckets made by Scott, Becca Buchs and Katie Lopshire as the Hornets outpointed West Noble 17-11. Six Angola girls sank three-pointers with Buchs and Willibey making two each.
Becca Schermerhorn and Cox made three-pointers for the Chargers.

Mammography coach is at

LIGONIER — West Noble bounced back from its season-opening loss on Thursday to dominate Bethany Christian Saturday-night in a nonconference girls basketball game played on the Chargers’ court.
West Noble did just about everything right on its way to a 59-18 win over the Lady Bruins.
The Chargers had eight girls put points on the board, led by junior Lexi Shepherd with 12 and senior Kelsie Peterson with 10 as West Noble moved to 1-1 on the young season. Bethany dropped to 0-2 after losing to Lakeland Friday night..
The game was never in doubt as West Noble’s defense kept the Bruins from scoring a fi eld goal in the fi rst minutes of the game while building up an 11-5 lead after the fi rst eight minutes.
The second quarter was all West Noble as the Chargers outpointed their guests 21-4 to lead 32-9 at intermission.
“The most important thing for us tonight is the girls played hard to the very end, even with a big lead,” said West Noble coach Dale Marano. “I’m glad our girls fi nished strong.”
The third quarter was even more of a mismatch as West Noble scored 15 while allowing just two points by the Bruins.
The post-game mood was much different than it was on Thursday when Northridge pinned a big loss on the Chargers to open the season.
Against Bethany Christian, different girls contributed in different ways for the Chargers.
Peterson was 4-of-5 from the free throw line as the Chargers had just nine attempts from the charity stripe.
Kaylie Warble, a 6-foot freshman, scored nine points as did sophomore Kenzie Cox for West Noble. Warble also made her presence known on the boards as the Chargers enjoyed a healthy margin in rebounding.
Rounding out the scoring for West Noble were Paige Shearer and Taylor Fisher, with both girls coming off the bench to score six points. Becca Schermerhorn notched four points and Brooke Lutton had three for the winners.
West Noble made seven three-pointers with Shepherd, Cox and Shearer each hitting two and Lutton having one trey.
“Everybody contributed,” Marano said.
“But we are still learning how to play together. The chemistry is still developing,” he said. “As a team we played together and play hard to the end and that was one of our goals coming in. I’m proud of the effort of everyone.”
Jordan Helmuth scored seven to lead Bethany Christian.
West Noble also claimed a win in the junior varsity contest with Lutton scoring nine and Cara Groff notching seven for the winners.
The girls play at Hamilton on Friday (varsity only, at 6 p.m.) and at Fremont on Nov. 29.
