AUBURN — DeKalb County has been chosen to receive $6,728 to supple-ment emergency food and shelter programs.
The selection was made by a national board chaired by the U.S. Department of Homeland Securi-ty’s Federal Emergency Management Agency and consists of representatives from American Red Cross; Catholic Charities, USA; National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA; The Jewish Federa-tion of North America; The Salvation Army; and United Way Worldwide. The
local board was charged to distribute funds appropriated by congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high-need areas around the country.
A local board will determine how the funds awarded to DeKalb County are to be distributed among emergency food and shelter programs run by local service agencies in the area.
Under the terms of the grant from the national board, a local agency chosen to receive funds must: be a private voluntary nonprofi t or unit of government; be eligible to receive federal
funds; have an accounting system; practice nondiscrim-ination; have demonstrated the capability to deliver emergency food and/or shelter programs, and, if it is a private voluntary organiza-tion, have a voluntary board. Qualifying agencies are urged to apply.
Agencies interested in applying for Emergency Food and Shelter Program funds must contact Patti Sheppard, 107 W. Fifth St., Auburn, 925-0917, or email her at [email protected] for an application. Applica-tions must be received no later than noon Dec. 16.

IMAGE (Indiana Multi Agency Group Enforcement) is a multi-jurisdictional drug task force made up of offi cers from Steuben,
LaGrange, Noble and DeKalb counties. IMAGE investigates drug-related crimes and is funded in part by a grant from the Edward Byrne Memorial JAG grant administered through the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute. IMAGE also receives funding through area prosecutors, law enforcement agencies and organizations such as Drug Free and other civic and community groups.
The task force emphasized in its news release that the fact that a person has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation, and all persons charged with crimes are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Day 23–the day he’s going home.WE’VE DEVOTED YEARS TO THIS DAY.
junior linebacker Bo Davis was surprised when he found out that he was selected to the Indiana Football Coaches Association Class 3A Junior All-State squad. But it was certainly a good surprise.
“I didn’t really expect that at all,” Davis said. “I was pretty happy. It’s a pretty big deal.”
But the soft-spoken Davis, who is the middle linebacker in the
Railroaders’ 4-3 scheme, is quick to defl ect the reasons for his success to his teammates that helped him fi nish with 103 tackles this season.
“The linemen take out the blocks and I’m supposed to do my job. I wouldn’t really say that I’m the leader, position-wise,” Davis said.
The IFCA selections were announced Monday morning.
Davis was one of 12 juniors in the state in Class 3A to earn the distinction on defense. Davis fi nished
with four tackles for loss, one fumble recovery, three interceptions and two pass defl ections. Davis had a three-game stretch against Bluffton, Woodlan and South Adams where he had 15, 16 and 17 tackles, respectively.
Davis was named the team’s Defensive Most Valuable Player for the second consecutive year.
“He’s the guy who takes the signals. He’s the fi rst guy we talk to from the sideline. He’s the fi rst guy involved in the strategy,” said Garrett coach Chris DePew. “Most things in this kind of defense are created to set that middle linebacker up and make
plays. And Bo does, he makes them.”
Davis was also a starting running back for the Railroaders this year,
fi nishing with 346 yards on 64 carries with two touchdowns. Davis also caught nine passes for 88 yards and one touchdown.
Davis said his favorite game of the season was a 34-0 win over DeKalb, in which he had 13 tackles, an interception, and a rushing and receiving touchdown.
“When your talented kids are your hardest workers, you have a special player and that’s what he is,” DePew said. “He’s a kid that won’t miss a workout, won’t miss a meeting and never would miss a practice. He’s just 100 percent dependable and dedicated, and sets a high standard that gives him ultimate credibility with his
teammates.”Davis was a second-year
starter at linebacker, and was also the team’s captain this past season.
Garrett fi nished the season with a 4-6 record, but the campaign ended with two thrilling matchups against Heritage, both of which ended with diffi cult Railroader losses. But Davis is optimistic for what the team can do next season.
“Our fi rst loss to Heritage, we had a 21-point lead and it’s just the inexpe-rience,” Davis said. “In the sectional we were neck-and-neck the whole time. But those tough losses, they hurt a lot and motivate us for next year.”

McCoy leads Train past Fremont
FREMONT — Garrett junior Justin McCoy scored 34 points and earned a double-double with 12

Alex Beams led Fremont with 22 points. Wade Regadangz was also in double fi gures with 10 points. Austin Paperbrock and Tony LaRose scored seven points each, Colton Howe six points and Justin Paperbrock had two points to fi nish the Eagle (0-3) scoring.
Locomotives win two against LPGARRETT — The
seventh grade boys defeated Lakewood Park Tuesday night by a score of 44-33.
The Locomotives were once again led by a strong effort from Avery Morrison with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Morrison had help from his teammates for an overall balanced attack. Other players chipping in were Korbyn Yarian with
nine points and 10 rebounds, nine points from Kobe Lucarelli, and fi ve points from point guard Bryce Wilson.
The eighth grade boys defeated Lakewood Park 44-28.
The Locomotives outscored the Panthers 18-5 the second half to pull away. Leading for Garrett were Hayden Greene with 12 points and nine rebounds, Dillon McCann with 11 points, Micah Malcolm with eight points, Carter Back with six points and 10 rebounds, Jacob Bevis with four points, Cameron Smith with three points, and Cole Kelham with four assists. Andrew Wertman, Juan Arambula, Clayton Sobieski and Caleb Smith also contributed in the team’s victory.
