Uhl takes fourth at state finals
INDIANAPOLIS - If the strides Andy Uhl made from his freshman year to his sophomore year are any predictor of future success, the East Noble sophomore should be a force in Indianapolis for years to come.
Uhl won his first two matches at the state meet Friday and Saturday before dropping two in a row and taking fourth place at 112 pounds.
While fourth place is a remarkable achievement in itself, East Noble coach Cam Lahee said the more subtle improvements Uhl made over last year's trip to state were most impressive.
"The difference was in his mental attitude - not getting frustrated when things got tough," Lahee said. "He did a better job of concentrating on the task at hand. When he gave up the escape that sent him into overtime, he stayed on the mat and got compose and then decided to to go out and take him down."
That first test of Uhl's mental attitude came in the first match on Friday night when Uhl faced Mark Richardson of Perry Meridian. A late escape by Richardson forced a 7-7 tie and sudden-death overtime. Uhl responded.
"He just decided,'Hey, I've taken this guy down before. I'll just do it again,'" Lahee said.
That 9-7 win put Uhl in the quarterfinals vs. Hobart's Manuel Rodriguez. Rodriguez had gotten through the first round in just 1:49 by pinning Nick Adams of Milan.
Uhl was again up to the task, pulling out another close match, 5-3.
"Andy had some pretty close matches going all the way back to the sectional final. He had all those matches against (Josh) DeGood and some others," Lahee said. "So he had some experience that helped him. Some of those guys get down to state and the first close match they've had all year is down there."
Uhl's run was shaken in the semifinals, when a 10-3 loss to Jeff Gray of Lawrence North put him in the consolation round against Mishawaka's Yancy Gradeless.
In the consolation round, the first period of each match was just one minute long, making Gradeless' opening takedown that much more pronounced, according to Lahee.
From there, it was a battle against the Gradeless stall. Even so, Uhl put Gradeless to his back near the buzzer long enough for the referee to begin counting, but time ran out before nearfall points could register.
"If we would have had three more seconds he would have won," Lahee said.
After all was said and done, Lahee said he and Uhl had a chance to sit back and assess the first half of the 112-pounder's career.
"We're pretty happy with things. Of course, everyone goes down to state wanting to come back a champion, but it was a good run," Lahee said. "He's the best sophomore in the state of Indiana. We had a chance to look back at how Andy crossed some milestones this season, but we'll be looking to improve next year."

Can't-miss kid wins a car
By DAVE KURTZ

WATERLOO - Despite a late choir concert Monday night, Rex Gradeless rolled out of bed and made it to school Tuesday - just like the previous 176 school days in a row.
The effort paid off. By lunchtime,Gradeless was sitting behind the wheel of a sporty car he won for his flawless attendance record.
DeKalb High School conducted a drawing for the car, but only its 89 students with perfect attendance were eligible to win.
Bart Churchward, owner of Bart's Car Store in Auburn, pulledGradeless' name out of a fishbowl while the whole student body watched in the school gymnasium.
The timing couldn't have been better for Gradeless, a 16-year-old sophomore. He's due to get his driver's license in just a few days.
"The only way I was going to get a car was if I bought one, so I wasn't going to get one - so this is really nice. This is good," he said as the shock started wearing off.
Churchward is giving away cars this spring at four schools near his car dealerships - DeKalb, Homestead, Penn and Warsaw high schools.
Churchward told DeKalb's students that he likes to reward perfect attendance because persistence is the most important factor in his own success. He said he's no genius, but hard work has made him the owner of six car lots with a seventh opening soon.
Gradeless got the message. "I came to school a few days not feeling too well, just to try to win the car," he told two television reporters who interviewed him. "It was all worth it in the end."
Just outside the school's north doors,Gradeless turned the key in his 1992 Chevrolet Beretta GT - blue with a sunroof and bucket seats
"We just waited for a really nice trade-in that's got the look you want in high school," Churchward said of his selection of the Beretta.
In a white shirt and tie,Gradeless had the look you want in front of the TV cameras.
"I was telling my friends, 'I just dressed up to get my car today and be in the paper,'" he said. In fact, Tuesday was "Touch of Class" day at DeKalb.
Gradeless said he generally enjoys good health, thanks to staying in shape for soccer and baseball. He nearly compiled a perfect attendance record last year.
Principal Rod Knox said DeKalb High School's attendance rate improved from 95.04 percent a year ago to 95.64 percent this year.
The 88 reliable students who didn't win a car each received coupons for fast food, car washes and movies.

DeKalb barrage too much for Heritage
By DAVE KURTZ
WATERLOO - DeKalb launched a constant barrage of shots on goal in a 4-1 win over Heritage in boys soccer Tuesday night.
The Barons fired 22 shots at the Patriots' goalkeeper, while DeKalb's goalie needed to make only two saves.
A DeKalb shot found the net for the first time with 19:13 left in the first half. Brandon Koenig launched a crossing pass around the Heritage goalie and Cory Miller swooped in to tap it home from short range.
Ten minutes later, the Barons took a 2-0 lead.  Rex Gradeless sent a pass to Andrew Bigelow, who beat his man down the left side to score on a hard shot from about 5 yards out.
Heritage closed the gap at the 5:12 mark when Chris Pray converted a penalty kick.
But DeKalb answered quickly at 3:31 on the second goal by Bigelow. Adam Drew fed him the ball this time and Bigelow rifled a shot from the left side into the far right corner of the net.
Early going in the second half saw several near-misses by the Barons. Tim Mercer put a header into the top rail for his second close call of the night. Matt Knapp's shot from 20 yards out sailed just over the bar.
Then with 23:38 to play, Bigelow sent another cannonball at the goalie and when it deflected off his hands, Brandon Koenig pounced to put the rebound in the net.
³All of those kids were crashing the goal,² said Baron coach Jed Freels. ³We crossed the ball well tonight. We used both corners. So instead of being a one-corner team tonight, we used the full half of the field.²
DeKalb had steered its offense chiefly to one side in a loss to Concordia Thursday, Freels said. The win over Heritage improved the Barons' season record to 2-1.
³We stuck to our game plan this time,² Freels said. ³They had a couple of guys that were very powerful up front, but we marked them well and we cleared the ball well instead of letting those guys run.²
Freels took as much pride in the Patriots' low shot total for Heritage as in the Barons' potent offense.
Against DeKalb's defense, he said, ³A guy's really going to have to dribble hard to get a clean shot off. ... A lot of that's the result of those guys always pressuring the ball. ... Time after time the two fullbacks pushed the ball back up the sidelines. That really, really worked.²
He added, ³When our four defenders go home knowing they've shut down a couple of good forwards ... that's a great win for those guys, even though they're not the ones down here kicking it in.²
DeKalb opens the Northeast Hoosier Conference schedule Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at New Haven. The next Baron home match will be next Tuesday, Aug. 29, against archrival East Noble, with the junior varsity match beginning at 5 p.m.

DeKalb outlasts Garrett
By DAVE KURTZ
GARRETT - Two early goals gave DeKalb the lead. Two late scores sealed a 4-1 win over Garrett in boys soccer Thursday.
In between, the rivals played 65 minutes of tightly contested soccer, leaving both coaches encouraged.
"I think this is the first legitimate time that we've competed with DeKalb. I think it was truly a well played game. I don't think we've ever had that," said Garrett coach Doug Klopfenstein.
"I think Garrett is probably the best team we've played so far," said DeKalb coach Jed Freels. He praised his team's defensive effort against an offensive-minded Garrett formation.
"With four forwards on them tonight, they still only let one goal in that shouldn't have gone in," Freels said. "They're playing superb defense. If they continue to do that, we're going to play tough right down through the stretch."
DeKalb's Brandon Koenig shocked the Railroaders with a pair of goals just 67 seconds apart. The first came only 4:12 after the kickoff.
³Their defense was playing up to support their forwards, and we went around them and we scored. They were beautiful goals,² Freels said. ³He did a good job of putting the ball through traffic.²
Koenig's first score came from the right side on a 20-yard blast that deflected off the goalie. For his second, he took a pass from Brian Bigelow, cut between defenders and connected from about 15 yards in front.
Garrett got back in the game at the 26:07 mark. Carlos Covarrubias worked free along the end line to fire a shot that glanced off the Barons' goalkeeper and rolled over the goal line. Sam Sudhoff assisted.
The teams then snugged up their defenses for a long stretch of scoreless play. The Barons couldn't breathe easy until Cory Miller sailed a 20-yard shot from the left side - over the goalie's head into the back corner of the net - for a 3-1 lead with only 8:06 to play. Rex Gradeless made a determined drive down the sideline to get the ball to Miller.
DeKalb padded the final margin when Koenig scored his third goal of the night - a 10-yard shot with 1:43 remaining.
"I feel really bad for our kids. They played really well, and in the paper tomorrow it's going to look like we got beat easily - and I don't think that was the case," Klopfenstein said. His team's record dropped to 3-4.
Garrett got some breaks in a win over Angola Tuesday, he said, but, "Tonight I think we were unlucky. They were crossing the ball and it went in the goal, and a couple fast breaks and we end up losing the game."
DeKalb took 23 shots on goal to Garrett's 12 and held a 9-4 edge in corner kicks.
The Barons won their sixth straight game for a 7-1 record at the midway point of the season, exactly the same as a year ago.
DeKalb takes its winning streak on the road Monday against Homestead, the state's top-ranked team.
"We've shut down some of the best forwards in the area already," Freels said. "We also think our offense is good enough to score on them, so we think we're going to have a game."
DeKalb's junior varsity won 3-0 over Garrett Thursday, with Austin Miller scoring all three goals. Alex Oberholtzer and Kody Holt had assists. The Baron reserves improved their record to 4-2.

DeKalb choir wins again at Bluffton fair
BLUFFTON - DeKalb High School's show choir continued its dominance of the Bluffton Free Street Fair choral contest Thursday night.
Classic Connection repeated as champions for the fifth straight year, with Homestead as runner-up and Fort Wayne Northrop taking third place.
In its first competition of the season, DeKalb shook the Bluffton stage with a high-energy show.
DeKalb opened with a Disney tune, ³Eye to Eye,² featuring a solo by Alex Oberholzer and a trio of Taya Bartrom, April Hamilton and Abbie Mast.
The choir put on a tap-dancing exhibition to ³I Want to Be a Rug-cutter.² Mike Keesler soloed and a boys' trio of Jamie Peters, Cory Miller and Rex Gradeless accented the song.
The show slowed its pace with a ballad from the musical ³Aida.² Justin Sassanella and Arielle Miller sang a duet during ³Written in the Stars.²
A medley built around the Poynter Sisters' ³Jump² finished the show.
Classic Connection will perform for a home audience Tuesday night, during the swing choir contest at the DeKalb County Free Fall Fair.
Nine choirs will sing on the fair's main stage at Union and Tenth streets, starting at 7:30 p.m.
Homestead, Heritage, Columbia City and Northrop will compete for trophies.
Five local groups will sing in exhibition - choirs from Eastside High School, Garrett High School and DeKalb Middle School, and DeKalb High School's Classic Connection mixed choir and Sound Sensation girls choir. Admission to Tuesday's event is free of charge.

          Upon the 25th day of November, 1839, the Board of County Commissioners, consisting of Otho W. Gandy, Joseph Parrett and Nathaniel Gradeless, came to what is now the town of Columbia City, and the seat of justice of Whitley County, for the purpose of platting the town. Henry Swihart, County Agent, Richard Collins, Sheriff and Abram Cuppy, Clerk, came with them. Zebulon Burch was also of the party, and acting in the capacity of Commissary. The party stopped at the place where now stands the office of Jacob Ramp, in Block 7, Swihart's Addition to the town of Columbia City. At that time, the snow covered the ground. It was in the primitive days, and long before Prometheus had brought a second time fire from Heaven in the shape of Lucifer matches. It may be observed by the enlightened reader that Lucifer has not been in Heaven for a long time. The only excuse I can offer is that a country historian, like a spring poet, cannot afford to be too choice in the use of his similes and illustrations. Richard Collins, therefore, unlimbered himself from his steed at the farm now known as the Essig farm, southwest of town about four miles, and where R. J. German then lived, and gathering from his hearth a tin pail of coals, bestrode again his foaming steed and carried the coals to the point of destination. This company proceeded to cut down timber and built a fire. Zebulon Burch then stretched a tent, and, amid the almost unbroken solitudes, the founders of this city lay down to rest.



Pages 124-125:

          As has been stated before, the first session of the County Commissioners was held at the house of Joseph Parrett, Jr.; the members of the board were Otho W. Gandy, Nathaniel Gradeless and Joseph Parrett, Jr. Gandy a chosen President of the board, and John Gollins was appointed County Treasurer. At a subsequent meeting, the township was divided into two road districts; all that portion south of Eel River constituted Road District No. 1 Charles Chipman was appointed Supervisor. All that portion of the township north of the river constituted District No. 2, John Parrett, Supervisor. The principal road at that time led from Huntington to Goshen, a distance of about sixty-five miles. The majority of the other roads had been made for the convenience of the people and did not follow any direct line or section, so that the work of the Supervisor was an arduous one. The paths and traces were mere starting points. Soon after, trees were blazed, roads widened, creeks bridged and the low ground either "brushed" or poled. About the year 1840, one passable road led from South Whitley to Columbia City, one to where now stands Liberty Mills, Wabash County, and two running north and south in the east and west parts of the township, in addition to the Huntington & Goshen road.

Information in [ ] was added by me as per my documented research of my MILNER family.)

pages 160 - 161:
Sketch entitled:

"WILLIAM BLUE, who is endowed by nature with such gifts as characterize true manhood in all that the word implies, is descended from an honorable ancestry, and his family tree first took root on American soil in the colonial days of Virginia, to which region his ancestors came from England. His grandfather, PETER BLUE, was one of the pioneers of Fayette County, Ohio, cleared a fine farm of 200 acres from the wilderness and there he and his wife, whose maiden name was SUSAN HAZEL, and who was also born in Virginia, reared a family of eleven children: BENJAMIN, JOHN, ABRAHAM, PETER, JACOB, DAVID, WILLIAM, PHILIP, SUSAN, ALICE and NANCY. PETER BLUE spent his life on his farm in Ohio and died at an advanced age. Three of his sons, JOHN, PETER and JACOB, were in the War of 1812. JACOB BLUE, his son, was brought up on a farm and was married to CHARLOTTE, daughter of DAVID MORTIMER, of Maryland, an early settler of Fayette county, Ohio, and eventually of BENTON TOWNSHIP, ELKHART COUNTY, IND., in which section he died. After his marriage JACOB BLUE resided in Ohio for some years, but in 1833 settled in ELKHART COUNTY, IND., on some land which is yet in possession of his descendants. An old-fashioned family of ten children were born to them also: ALICE, MARY, ABRAHAM, WILLIAM, MARGARET, JACOB, PETER, DAVID (who died young), SUSAN and BENJAMIN. JACOB BLUE's farm was heavily covered with timber but by the exercise of all his energy he succeeded in clearing it from the forest and made a good home for his family. His health gave way, owing to the hard work he had done, and at the age of fifty-two years he was called from life, having been an earnest member of the Methodist Episocopal Church for many years, with which his wife was also connected. To such noble men as MR. BLUE is owing the fine agricultural condition of the country at the present time. WILLIAM, his son, the subject of this sketch, was born on the farm in Fayette county, Ohio, December 27, 1824, but owing to the fact that he came to ELKHART COUNTY, IND., when he was but nine years of age, he received but little schooling. They made the journey to this section by wagon and drove their cattle and hogs, and MR. BLUE can well remember the trip. October 1, 1846, he was married to MISS REBECCA GRAYLESS. who was born in Ross county, Ohio, February 26, 1828, daughter of WILLIAM and REBECCA (WAUGH) GRAYLESS, the former of whom was born in Maryland and settled as a pioneer in Fayette county, Ohio, becoming a resident of Indiana in 1833. He had a good farm of 160 acres in Allen county, on which he lived until his demise at the age of sixty-three years. He was a man of excellent moral character and was an earnest member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was the father of six children who lived to mature years: MARY A., ELIZABETH, MARTHA, CHARLES, REBECCA, MALINDA and CYNTHIA. After his marriage William Blue settled on forty acres of his present farm, then covered with heavy timber, but his energetic efforts soon cleared this land and he continued to add to it until he became the owner of 280 acres, 160 of which he has given to his children, and now has 120 acres of his own. His property has been acquired by his own efforts and with the assistance of his worthy wife, and they now have a comfortable home and are surrounded with all the comforts and many of the luxuries of life. Four of their children lived to be grown: SILAS, born February 12, 1848, married EMILY MILLER, by whom he has four children and is a farmer near Sugar Hill; CHRISTIANA, born April 11, 1852, married HENRY A. SNYDER, a farmer of this township by whom she has one child; LONSON, born March 3, 1859, married LIZZIE WILNER, by whom he has three children, and is a farmer of this township; [CORRECTION: Being related to this couple I know that "Lizzie Wilner" is actually MALISSA/MELISSA ANN MILNER. Born 27 Aug 1862 in Benton Township, ELKHART COUNTY, INDIANA as per the MILNER family bible. She died 17 Oct 1945 in Rural Ligonier, Noble, Indiana and was buried 19 Oct 1945 in Hire Cemetery, ELKHART COUNTY, INDIANA. Parents were: JOHN HESSAY MILNER born 14 Nov 1803 in Bishop Wilton, Yorkshire, England; died 1 Sep 1876 in Benton Township, ELKHART COUNTY INDIANA; buried in Hire Cemetery, Benton Township, ELKHART COUNTY, INDIANA and MARY ELIZABETH McCLELLAN(D) (2nd wife) born 19 Oct 1826 in Wooster, Wayne Co., Ohio; died 12 Jan 1915 in Monte Vista, Rio Grande, Colorado; buried Monte Vista Cemetery, Rio Grande County, Colorado. John Milner and Mary Elizabeth McClellan(d) were married 16 Aug 1856 in Benton Township, ELKHART COUNTY, INDIANA. David Lonson Blue (Alonzo Blue on the marriage cert.) and Melissa Ann Milner were married 15 Apr 1880 in ELKHART COUNTY, INDIANA. They are also both buried in Hire Cemetery, ELKHART, INDIANA] and BENJAMIN, born June 7, 1863, is a farmer of this township, is married to MISS MARY HANEY and is the father of one child. All these children are settled in the immediate vicinity of their old home and are honorable, respectable and useful citizens of the community. SILAS has been trustee of BENTON TOWNSHIP two terms. MR. and MRS. BLUE are devout members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and in politics he is a Republican. He is a substantial farmer who has never taken part in politics, but has devoted his attention to clearing his land and properly bringing up his family and the result is greatly to his credit. He has always pursued a correct course through life, and for honest integrity and thrift has set a good example to his children. He is a thoroughly self-reliant man, but at the same time is quiet and unobstrusive and "pursues the even tenor of his way" without interfering with his neighbors' affairs and with no desire for public preferment."

Wild Rose Wisconsin: Industrial Park:

The Village of Wild Rose formally opened their Industrial Park to business on October 23, 1999. The final phase of construction on the road and utilities continues and will be completed by the end of November 1999.

Phase One of the Industrial Park consists of four parcels approximately 2 to 2.3 acres each and is located on Cul-de-sac Road on the south side of Wild Rose, just off State Highway 22.

Smykal Construction is the first business to move into the park. Smykal has already broken ground and begun construction on their new building.

In addition to the four parcels, there is also a 22 acre parcel located to the north that is part of Phase Two. Both locations are part of a Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) District.

Gradeless Construction of Almond, installed the sewer lines and put in the new road, Industrial Court, for the development. Village employees George Perry and Mark Williams are overseeing the project.

Businesses interested in knowing more about the Wild Rose Industrial Park should contact:
