CINCINNATI, Ohio — Eastside’s Marching Blazer Pride band put a nice cap to its marching season with a 10th-place fi nish at the Class A Mid-States Band Association championships.

The contest, featuring 25 bands from Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky, took place at Shea Stadium at Norwood High School in Cincin-nati.

Of the 25 bands competing, 10 were named fi nalists by one set of judges and performed again at night for a new judging panel. Eastside tied for seventh in the preliminary round.

“The Eastside Marching Pride gave two of their strongest performances of the year,” said director Damon Newell. “I can say, with complete honesty, their fi nal performance of ‘These Gifts’ was their very best performance of the show.

“To fi nish the season having

them play it as well as they did will be a memory they will have for the rest of their lives,” Newell added.

“I was incredibly impressed with the kids,” he said. “It was a great experience overall, and the kids had a blast doing it.”

Mid-States shows are based on band size, not school size. Class A was for bands with 35 musicians or less.

First-place Alter, Ohio swept caption awards for music general effect (two sets of scores), general effect, music performance and visual performance.

Second place went to Rising Sun of Indiana; followed by Holmes, Ky.; Archbishop McNicholas, Ohio; Taylor, Ohio; Nelson Co., Ky.; Bullit East, Ky.; Norwood; Crawfordsville and Eastside.

Indiana bands placing were: 13. Eastern (Pekin), 14. Bluffton, 16. Blue River Valley; 17. Morristown and 19. Southwestern (Hanover).

BUTLER — Two forthcoming infrastructure projects will make life uncomfortable, but better off in the long run, City of Butler offi cials indicate.

Monday’s Board of Works meeting was devoted to water main and force main projects that will impact the downtown area.

The water main project will replace a 100-year-old main along Broadway that has been repaired many times as it ages.

City superintendent Ted Miller said he wants to have meetings

with residents and business owners in advance of the projects to inform them what to expect in the coming months.

There will be some short-term water service interruptions when contractors connect to the new main, and downtown street traffi c will also be impacted.

Miller recently met with representatives of Bowen Engineering and Wessler Engineering, who are developing project plans. Plans could be ready by the end of this year or in early 2014, he said.

At the same time, Donahue &

Associates will soon begin prep work for the Steel Dynamics force main project. That project includes extending a force main along Railroad, Beech and Green streets to the wastewater treatment plant.

Currently, the force main stops just west of the downtown area, and has been linked to odor issues during periods of high volume discharges.

During the City Council meeting, city planner Steve Bingham said Habitat for Humanity offi cials have made inquiries about possibly rehabili-tating some vacant homes in Butler

as a possible option to building new homes. There has been no offi cial action, just preliminary discussion, he said, and owners of vacant houses would need to be contacted to see if they would be willing to sell to Habitat.

Miller expressed concern about basketball hoops, boats, trailers and campers being parked or located in or close to streets. The proximity of those items can interfere with street cleaning and plowing, and Miller doesn’t want to be responsible for damages.

AUBURN — DeKalb County fall property taxes are due Tuesday, Nov. 12, DeKalb County Treasurer Holly Albright said.

The courthouse will be closed Monday, Nov. 11, in observance of Veterans Day, she added.

Taxpayers will not receive separate bills for the fall install-ments. Both the spring and fall installments were mailed in April. Anyone who has billing questions may contact the treasurer’s offi ce at 925-2712 or visit its website at co.dekalb.in.us to view property tax information online.

Albright said paying taxes recently became easier. People now may pay taxes online directly from a checking or savings account. Albright said the county is pleased to present a new, online tax payment system that is quick, easy and free of charge.

“We have tried to make tax payment as convenient as possible and offer a variety of payment options in one stop,” she said. To pay online, visit co.dekalb.in.us.

Tax payments may be made in person at the treasurer’s offi ce on the second fl oor of the courthouse in downtown Auburn. Business hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Payments also may be mailed to the DeKalb County Treasurer, 100 S. Main St., Auburn, IN 46706. Payment is considered on time when postmarked by the U.S. post offi ce on or before the installment due date of Nov. 12. A taxpayer may enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope for a receipt. Otherwise, a cancelled check will serve as a receipt.

FORT WAYNE — The deadline to take the current General Educational Development (GED) test is approaching.

Many northeast Indiana residents in 11 counties could lose the work they’ve already done toward passing the GED test if they don’t do so by Dec. 13, an offi cial with the Northeast Indiana Regional Workforce Investment Board said.

That’s because the state intends to have a new high school equiva-lency assessment in place by the fi rst of year. That test, said workforce development board Executive Vice President of Strategic Initiatives Gary Gatman, will be much more rigorous than the current one.

The Indiana Department of Workforce Development and the Indiana Business Research Center estimate more than 60,000 Hoosiers — including those in DeKalb, LaGrange, Noble and Steuben counties — between ages 18-64 would be required to take the new test if they don’t achieve high school equivalency before Dec. 13.

The workforce investment board, through the WorkOne centers it manages and with the assistance of community partners, offers free GED prepara-tion classes at locations across northeast Indiana. The board and its partners have set up a GED hotline to fi eld questions about the new test or the free GED services. People can call 469-4411 for information.

The new test, called the Test Assessing Secondary Completion (TASC) and offered by CTB/McGraw-Hill, will be aligned more closely with college and career readiness and industry needs. Gatman said that is a good thing for northeast Indiana in its push to elevate economic stability by increasing overall educational attainment and skills-building.

“Employers are going to look more favorably on people with more skills,” Gatman said.

Just as important, he said, is that obtaining high school equiva-lency in any form enhances a person’s standard of living.

“The jobs you’ll be able to

compete for pay better,” he said. “The benefi t packages with those jobs are more signifi cant. The retirement options available to you become more meaningful.”

The current GED test includes fi ve sections. If participants don’t pass all fi ve, they must study anew the portions they’ve failed and retake those sections.

Gatman encouraged those who are in the process of obtaining a GED to fi nish the work before the new test kicks in.

“It would be a shame to lose all of the hard effort you’ve put in toward ensuring a better future for yourself and for your family,” Gatman said.

It is his hope that even after the new test begins, more people will pursue achieving high school equivalency.

“The stepped-up skills demands of industry are growing rapidly,” Gatman said. “It is vital that people bolster their chances of workplace success through formal education and skills training.”

BUTLER PUBLIC LIBRARY NEWS

AUBURN — Learning Link DeKalb County hosted an open community meeting Oct. 14 at First United Methodist Church in Auburn.

Approximately 60 people heard the most recent accomplishments of Learning Link’s fi ve action teams. During the discus-sion, team members turned the tables and posed their most pressing questions to audience members, looking for input on meeting their team goals.

In progress reports, parenting education reporter Melissa Eshbach announced Indiana NewsCenter will run the team’s parenting videos as public service announce-ments, perhaps as early as this month.

Eshbach also stated that major revisions have been made to the parent resources brochure and website, dekalblearninglink.org, making the site more user-friendly to people seeking parenting programs. Revised brochures are being distributed and are also available from the website.

Jerry Yoder, reporting for the adult education and training team, shared Feb. 27 as the date of a 2014 Career Development Expo being planned by the DeKalb Chamber Partner-ship, WorkOne Northeast, the DeKalb County Economic Development Partnership and Learning Link adult education and training team.

Their objective is to

attract high school juniors and seniors, the under-em-ployed and the unemployed. At the expo, students and adults can learn about present and future job openings in the area, along with corresponding education and skill requirements.

Yoder asked audience members how to increase the number of high school students who attend the expo. DeKalb High School Principal Kyle Kirby responded, “We have to show students the relevance and be specifi c about how students will benefi t.”

Ken McCrory, director of the DeKalb County Economic Development Partnership, asked the team to use the opportunity to educate students about career opportunities in manufacturing.

“Kids are missing this at all levels of their education,” McCrory said.

The progress of the School-Business Partner-ships team was reported by Chris Straw and Becky Pfeffer. Straw noted “a signifi cant increase in the number of students county-wide with experiential learning opportunities; the number rose from 779 in 2011, to 1,031 in 2013. We’re seeing signifi cant progress being made with businesses wanting to partner with schools.”

Julia Tipton and Megan Curtis, in their report for the third-grade literacy team, said they were “very happy with the increase in

I-READ 3 scores,” though they cautioned that I-READ 3 provides only one piece of data. Countywide, 94 percent of third-grade students passed I-READ 3 in 2013.

In later discussion of testing in schools, a parent in the audience said her children in fi fth and sixth grades were becoming “test-weary.”

Tipton, principal at McKenney-Harrison Elementary School in Auburn, said, “Different tests measure different things to give us a complete picture. In between that testing is really good instruction.”

The early childhood team’s progress was reported by Deb Argast, who shared that the number of children entering kinder-

garten prepared for school success, based on the team’s readiness screening, had “plateaued” around 54 percent with no signifi cant change from 2012 to 2013.

Another question that drew discussion was: “What are the barriers to families accessing quality child care and education for their children?”

Audience members cited a lack of awareness of the importance of early childhood education, lack of awareness of the options available for child care and education for young children, differing values, and stressed family budgets.

At the meeting’s close, Learning Link director Judy Sorg announced that United Way is receiving resources that will enable them to provide leadership

for coordinating efforts for DeKalb County children, ages birth to 3, in a way that supports the Early

Childhood team’s goals.“We’re thrilled about the

new collaboration and its possibilities,” Sorg said.

McNabb has operated his own plumbing, heating and air-conditioning business since 1965.

BUSINESSBUTLER BUTLER BSpotlightPlease support this and other Butler area businesses.

McNabb Plumbing, Heating & Air-Conditioning has been part of the Butler business community for many years. Owner Wayne McNabb has been in the business since 1957, when he began working for Al Ringenberg. A short time later, the business was acquired by Vic Kelley. McNabb became owner in 1965. The business serves clients in Butler, St. Joe, Spencerville, Auburn, Waterloo and Hamilton. “Vic was my uncle. They were needing another person to help and I was young and dumb to get started in it,” McNabb said with a smile. “When you’re dealing with plumbing, it’s always something different every day,” he added. “I can’t say it’s easy, but you can say it’s always interesting.” McNabb has witnessed many changes in the industry since his start. Coal-burning furnaces were still popular when he started. Occasionally, he’ll be called upon to work on one, although parts are diffi cult to locate. The effi ciency of oil-burning furnaces has improved dramatically over the years, he said. When McNabb started in the business, the furnaces burned with 45 percent effi ciency; today, furnaces are rated at 86 percent. Improvements have also been made in gas furnaces since he began. Plumbing has evolved from cast-iron to copper to plastics, including PVC. McNabb said it wasn’t unusual to use 4-inch diameter copper lines, but the use of copper declined when the material became more expensive. Plastics, including PVC pipes, have become more popular in residential applications. Wayne’s wife, Ruth Ann, assists with bookkeeping. McNabb Plumbing, Heating & Air-Conditioning may be reached at 868-2753.

The Northeast Indiana Regional Workforce Invest-ment Board provides public and private fi nancial and employment resources to businesses and individuals for education and skills

training to meet the needs of regional industries. The board sets policy for how public and private funds are utilized to support talent development. It also operates and staffs the 11

county-based WorkOne career centers in the region. Individuals and companies may access resources and services by visiting or calling WorkOne in their county.

There was discussion about amending ordinances to address those items, and Police Chief Jim Nichols offered to leave notices for those residents.

The Board of Works approved three expenditures requested by Fire Chief Jeff Shultz:

• A contract with Brent’s Snow Removal Service. The company will charge $75 per time for plowing, with additional charges for salt and shoveling at the fi re station;

• A $14,673 bid from Hoosier Fire Equipment to replace the department’s

1996 thermal-imaging camera. That will give the department three newer models — one on both engines and another on the rescue unit; and

• A $4,500 bid from 5-Alarm Fire & Safety Equipment to replace an early 1980s set of Hurst hydraulic cutters. The department can receive a $1,500 trade-in on the older set. Firefi ghters have two sets of cutters, one on the rescue truck and the other on engine 33.

Nichols updated city offi cials on several training classes and certifi cations

achieved by police offi cers.Nichols will seek

donations to support the “Shop with a Cop” program. Donations determine how many families will be helped at Christmas.

Butler’s assessed value has increased by approximately $6 million, Clerk-Treasurer Angela Eck announced. Conversely, Wilmington Township’s assessed value has decreased by about $79 million. In part, Wilmington Township’s assessed value dropped because of tax appeals, she said.
