Annual Campaign
Kickoff set for
Kokomo Municipal
Stadium on August 5
By Dean Hockney
Kokomo Herald
Play ball! That traditional baseball phrase has added meaning this
year as the United Way of Howard
County will host its annual Campaign Kickoff at Kokomo Municipal Stadium during a Kokomo
Jackrabbits game. Communications Director Beth Rattray hopes
fans will join them as the United
Way “hits it out of the park” for its
kickoff night.
“It just kind of made sense to
have our kickoff at the new sta-
dium,” said Rattray. “The actual
kickoff will be in the Coca-Cola
Tent at 5:30 p.m. and then we will
move to the stadium to enjoy the
game. Duke Energy is the presenting sponsor at the game, and they
were kind enough to allow us to
join them and make it about United Way. Duke is awesome at sponsoring community initiatives.”
Set for August 5, the Campaign
Kickoff at Municipal Stadium will
feature a traditional
pregame
baseball
tailgate – complete
with hot dogs and
brats – in the CocaCola Tent prior to the

‘Name your price’ cat adoptions
Kokomo Humane
Society receives
grant to reduce fees
to adopt a feline
By Dean Hockney
Kokomo Herald
While the stray cat situation in
Howard County is getting better,
officials at the Kokomo Humane
Society know that more can be
done. With that in mind, the organization secured a grant that will
allow potential cat adopters to set
their own fee to take home a feline.
“We are always looking for new
ways to find our adoptable cats and
kittens forever homes” said KHS
Executive Director Karen Wolfe.
“With the aid of this grant people
will be able to offer an adoption
fee that they are comfortable with
and still have the funds left to cover the initial expenses related to
getting a new pet”.
The Kokomo Humane Society received a “lifesaving grant”
from the Petco Foundation. This
$16,500 grant will allow the Hu-
mane Society to wave traditional
adoption fees in exchange for a donation based adoption fee. Wolfe
said they requested the grant to
tackle cat adoption because of the
overflow of cats and kittens the
Humane Society receives.
“We just have so many cats and
kittens,” said Wolfe. “It is hard to
find homes for them all, especially
with our traditional adoption fees.
If they are not spay and neutered,
the fee is $120 for cats and $130
for kittens to adopt. The problem
is people could get a free cat out of
the paper for nothing – but they are
not necessarily spay and neutered.
When you adopt from the Kokomo
Humane Society, they are – and
that helps cut down on the overpopulation.”
She said a pet adopted from the
KHS is not only spay and neutered, but also has vaccines and is
micro-chipped.
“Not only are you getting a cat
that is cared for, but you are helping the problem of cat over-population,” she said. “The grant actually pays for the spay and neuter
procedure, so when people come

in to adopt, they just name their
own price and take home the cat.”
Wolfe said an added bonus is the
grant will allow for people who
could not afford the adoption fee
to become pet owners – and it will
allow people to afford more than
one new family pet.
“Someone may have wanted to
have two kittens but couldn’t afford to spend $260 on two kittens,”
said Wolfe. “This grant will now
allow them the flexibility to adopt
two. We can now adopt out more

Captain Harold
Vincent receives
award from Indiana
Sheriff’s Association
By Dean Hockney
Kokomo Herald
For years, Harold Vincent has
been a leader in the world of jail
enforcement. And after helping to
launch a training program for corrections officers around the state,
his hard work has been recognized
by the Indiana Sheriff’s Association.
Bill Wilson, jail training coordinator of the Indiana Sheriff’s
Association, honored Captain
Vincent, the Howard County jail
commander, for his efforts in developing curriculum for Advanced
Jail Officer Training. The AJOT
curriculum establishes advanced
jail training standards for county
corrections officers throughout
Indiana and is available to all 92
county Sheriffs.
Captain Vincent received an
award for his outstanding effort
while Howard County assistant
jail commander Lt. Robin Byers
received honorable mention for
her work as an instructor for the
AJOT program. Steuben County
jail commander Captain Francisco
Ortiz, a partner with Vincent in developing AJOT, was also honored
at the reception during the annual
ISA President’s Dinner following
the annual training conference.
“Being recognized by your peers
is outstanding and means a lot,”
said Vincent, whose community

“We are very proud to have Captain Vincent and Lt. Byers recognized as leaders in corrections for
the State of Indiana,” said Howard
County’s top lawman.
According to the ISA, the award
was presented for “dedication to
the Advanced Jail Officer Training
Program and individual talents so
generously given.” Now in existence for nearly two years, AJOT
filled a hole in training for corrections officers; in the past year 500
officers have received the valuable
training.

Each year, runners in Howard
County gather at Oakbrook Valley
to help battle homelessness. This
year, the Coordinated Assistance
Ministry will celebrate a milestone as they team with Oakbrook
Church for the 10th Annual Run
for Shelter, a 5K run/walk through
one of Indiana’s premier running
courses.
Rev. Ruth Lawson, executive
director of CAM, said that the
annual event was the brainchild
of the lead pastor of Oakbrook
Church.
“Pastor Mark Malin came and
toured CAM in 2005,” recalled
Lawson. “We talked and he said
maybe they could do something to
support CAM through Oakbrook
Valley (a 60 acre facility owned
by the church). So they sponsored
and made the run work and they
have been a great partner ever
since.”
The first year saw the event raise
more than $4,500 for CAM, and
nine years later the annual run has
raised nearly $48,000. This year’s

involvement includes being past
president of the Kiwanis Club of
Kokomo and a DARE instructor.
“It was a real honor to be recognized in front of all of the Indiana
Sheriff’s and jail commanders. But
I think it was more of a recognition award for putting the program
together with Captain Ortiz.”
The normally talkative Vincent
said he was actually speechless
when he went to the microphone.
“I had no clue it was coming –
they got me,” he said with a laugh.
Howard County Sheriff Steve
Rogers noted the hard work Vincent and Byers put into forming

Spotlight on Entrepreneurs: Kokomo Cycling
By Sean Cameron
Kokomo Herald
Some people set out
to be entrepreneurs after
years of dreaming, research, planning, and saving. Others have an idea so
timely, so immediate, that
they have to jump right in
and go with it. Then there
is the Larry Barnhart way.
“I just outlasted the two
previous owners,” Barnhart
joked. “Glen
Bateman
started
this
business
in 1966
and retired in 1984.
He sold it to Nick Kestner.
Nick retired in 2005 and I
was still here, so I finally
took it over.”
Barnhart joined the staff
at what was then known as
Kokomo Schwinn in 1975
in the heart of the bicycle
boom of the 70’s.
“When I started, we
were nothing but a Schwinn store,” Barnhart said.
“That was all we sold. As
a matter of fact, this was
the first ‘total concept’
Schwinn store built in Indiana.”
The business soon became a leader in the industry selling over 1,000 bikes
a year.
“The Showroom was
a whole lot smaller and
we had a whole lot more
people working here,” he
remembered. “We were
commonly a week behind
on repairs and tune-ups,
and we had three of us doing service work. Now, we
typically turn everything
around in 24 hours and
there are at most two of us
doing service at a time.”
As the demand changed,
so did the business, and
Barnhart added additional
lines to augment Schwinn.
“In addition to Schwinn,
Giant and Electra are our
main adult lines with Giant and GT for our kids’
lines,” Barnhart said.
Now known as Kokomo
Cycling, the store stocks
around 200 bicycles in a
variety of styles.
“The most popular style
we have now is the Comfort series, still catering
largely to the Baby Boomers who grew up on bikes
in the 60’s,” Barnhart said.
“They
are
still very
active
and
love
to go
out
and ride
but comfort
is now a great deal more
important than aerodynamic efficiency, load
drag, tires and that sort of
thing.
“Mountain bikes had
their run right after the
10 speed era, but their
popularity has fallen off
as fewer people seem to be
taking part in the off-road,
through-the-woods
riding,” he said.
“Then we have the enthusiast bikes, the sport
models for people who
still like to go out and get
a lot of riding in,” Barnhart said. “These are the
pure road bikes – what we
used to call 10 speeds but
are now called road bikes.
Finally, we have the sporthybrids, which are close to
the comfort bikes but a little more aggressive riding
position, lighter weight.”
Barnhart also emphasized the family-friendly
nature of the store.
“We make sure that our
stock always has something for the entire family,” he said.
“For the kids we have
BMX bikes and all the
other basic juvenile bikes
ranging from 12 inches
up to 20 inches. And if we
don’t have what you’re
looking for, and one of our
lines carries it, we will order it for you.”
Kokomo Cycling carries
a full line of bicycle accessories including tools,
racks, bags, water bottles,
and maybe most important,
lights.
“Many people do not realize that it is a state law
to have lights beginning a
half hour before dusk and
through dawn,” Barnhart
noted.
While not as profound
as the boom of the ‘70’s,
Barnhart has observed a
significant uptick in local
bicycle sales and interest
in recent years and can
even point to the main reason.
“The Walk of Excellence
and Industrial Heritage
Trail came into existence
around 2008 or 2009, that
made a big, big difference
for us,” he said. “For many
years we’d have people
coming into bike and asking ‘where’s a safe place
to ride?’ Once the trails
started popping up, that
question became easy to
answer.
“The Nickel Plate Trail
coming down from Peru
was already a big boon for
us and once they get that
hooked up with the Industrial Heritage Trail it is going
to be fantastic. Two blocks
from here you’ll be able to
pick up the trail and ride all
the way to Rochester.
“It is nice to see Indiana
creating these parks and
greenways.”
Mr. Barnhart pointed to
the enduring success of the
Break-Away Bicycle Club
as an indicator of the area’s
passion for the activity.
“They have rides basically every afternoon and
on weekends,” he said.
“They also have their three
big rides: the Polar Bear
ride on January 1, the 4th
of July ride, and their Century Ride which is com-

Fitness since 1999. (Photo by Sean Cameron)
ing up the third Saturday
in August. Along with the
recreational riders, there is
quite the biking community here in Kokomo.”
If you are a die-hard enthusiast or an occasional
rider, Barnhart assures that
Kokomo Cycling has your
needs covered.
“Kokomo Cycling is
a full-service, complete
maintenance destination
for all brands of bikes, not
just those we carry,” Barnhart said. “We have two
of the most experienced
bike mechanics around.
This is my 40th year and
(manager) Mike Shult has
been doing this for over
15 years. Between the two
of us, we have over a half
century of experience.”

How
many can
remember Central Junior High
School?
In our young
hearts we never dreamed
that someday it would be
a parking lot. Central was
located at 300 E. Sycamore
Street.
Mr. Edwin Riley sent me
this picture. Matter of fact,
he took the picture. The
year was 1960. Isn’t it a
beauty? The picture is free
to anyone that wants one,
and for those that attended
school at Central.
I went to Central in 1948
at 15 years of age. There
were 13 schools in Kokomo at that time, including Kokomo High School,
located on Superior Street.
There were two other
junior high schools, Washington and Roosevelt.
Many of the school buildings are now gone.
Washington School had
one of the best gyms in the
state. The building is still
there, but is the gym? We
were young and foolish and
dancing in the rain. Roosevelt on North Washington,
was really neat. Just ask
Jim Butcher. Jim became
a basketball player for the
Wildcats. He was one of
the best.
It is hard to believe isn’t
it? My wife Barb went Jefferson School which was
located at 625 E. Hoffer
Street. It is now an empty lot. I went to Meridian School which is now a
Park.
We are going beyond the
curtain of time, where only
our imaginations can take
us. Can you believe we
were actually a part of the
40’s and 50’s?
Who can forget the class
clown? I remember walking into the classroom. The Mr. Edwin Riley sent me this picture of Central Junior High School. Matter of fact,

Music, relationships and life-long lessons
Nearly two years ago I began taking lessons at Sound
Of Music in downtown Kokomo. I went with the ambition of simply learning how
to play an instrument. At
the time I sort of understood
music but I
had never really looked any
further
into
it. I was only
interested in
learning how
to play it just MCKENNA

But that idea

changed dras- COLUMNIST
tically once I
got there. I took lessons with
several different instructors
who all worked their hardest
and went above and beyond
while teaching. Tom Johnson, Adam Neher, and Heidi
Freeman are only a few of
the music professionals that
work there now that have instructed me in the past. Not
only did they teach me how
to play the ukulele, they also
broadened my knowledge of
music which caused me to
appreciate it much more than
I did before.
Each of them had encouraged me to join their
“Rockstar Training Academy” (RTA), which is a
unique organization run by
the store itself. At the time I
didn’t believe that I was yet
capable of playing in a band
and I didn’t want to embarrass myself, so for a long
time I turned it down. But
a year later I had taken on
the bass guitar and decided I
would give RTA a try. What
the program really is, is any
students at Sound of Music or anyone interested in

playing were strategically
placed into bands where
they rehearse for months or
a week at a time all working
up to several concerts.
I was placed into a band
with several other girls
and we called ourselves,
“Cosmic Latte.” The first
few practices together, I
won’t lie, were awkward.
The only person there that
I knew was my little sister.
But after getting to know
the girls in my band better,
we all quickly became best
friends. It’s hard to think
about now, but if I had
never joined RTA I would
be missing out on some really talented and wonderful
people.
Being in the band has actually brought me to a higher
skill level. I never thought
that it would help me be
a better bass player, but it
actually taught me a lot. It
helped me understand why
I was playing and how my
instrument can be combined
with many other instruments to create an incredible
sound. Being a part of the
RTA camps, I’ve been able
to challenge myself and get
better and better every day.
It gives me another reason to
play besides just, “wanting
to know how to.”
Aside from just the music,
I’ve never felt like a stranger
to anyone in the store because they’ve created such
a friendly and welcoming
atmosphere. Not only did I
make more friends within
my band, but I also became
more familiar with the staff
there. They aren’t just instructors or workers to me,
they’re my friends and
“Cosmic Latte” band members Mac Malott, Allie Lobeck, Basey Morrow, Cheyenne
Presnell, Katelyn Wise, Ellie Moore, McKenna Malott. (Photo provided)
they’re like family and anyone that has been to Sound
of Music can tell you they
feel the same way.
I soon began to realize that
there’s a lot more going on in
the store than I thought there
was. Every single person
there works their very hardest and they never quit. Between running the store and
running the RTA camp, they
never quit working. If you’ve
ever been to one of the RTA
concerts you’ve had the opportunity to see some very
impressive talent from all different ages and all different
kinds of people. The people
working at Sound of Music
treat everyone just as if they
were their own family. They
pay very close attention to
all the students, get to know
every single person there,
and they treat everyone with
kindness and respect. They’re
an incredible staff and I don’t
think you could ever replace
any of them.
I’ve truly felt honored to
be a part of their organizations, and I’ve come to enjoy
music and appreciate it so
much more because of them.
They definitely don’t get the
recognition they deserve for
all their incredible and outstanding hard work for our
community.
While they all strongly
encourage music, they
also encourage an optimistic mindset and positive
motives. One camp staff
member, James Howe, told
me that if I wanted to be a
part of a successful band, I
need to be a “self starter.”
This meant that I couldn’t
wait around for someone
to come and tell me exactly
what to do. I really thought
about what he said a lot during that week of camp and
it began to mean more to
locations for city and county
residents to drop off their recycled materials.
The City administration has purchased and has
in storage approximately
$1,000,000 worth of recycling bins. If I were mayor
under these circumstances, I
would ask the Recycling District to extend their $200,000
offer to help. I would then
look for and find a qualified
vender to process the recyclables that are collected.
Having made a $1,000,000
investment in this project,
I believe we should do all
we can to make this project
work.
The plan to implement a
curbside recycling project is
a good, progressive endeavor
for this community. Discussing it in an atmosphere of
conflict, is neither good for
the project nor for the community.
Thank you.

Once you’ve started the

As an alternative, you could

17 year-old son Derek.
“My son has autism, and
I can personally vouch for
the services that many of
the agencies of the United
Way provide to him and
our family,” said Heytens,
director of the program
management office and Kokomo facilities for Delphi
Electronics. “In fact, one
of his therapists from Bona
Vista is going to attend the
game with us. Derek is excited; he is practicing and

Heytens, who has been
on the United Way board
of directors for six years,
said she is honored to lead
the 2016 fundraising campaign, which is getting a
one-month head start over
past years. The campaign
chair also said she was
thankful that Delphi is allowing her to be a part of
the United Way. She said
the two organizations have
a long history of working
together.
“Delphi always gives a
corporate gift, and we are
the No. 2 donor as far as
contributions through payroll deduction,” said Heytens. “Plus, we give all of
our proceeds from Excellence Week to the United
Way.”
Heytens said the campaign is getting off to an
early start, more than a
month ahead of last year’s
schedule.
“We are trying to get motivated earlier so we don’t
have to drag the campaign
into January as we have in
past years,” she said. “Delphi will have its first event
in August as well, and we
will be announcing more
in the days and weeks to
come.”

Petco Foundation Mission Statement: The mission of the Petco Foundation is to raise the quality of
life for pets and people who
love and need them. We believe that raising the quality of life for pets requires
creating lifesaving communities nationwide. As
one of the nation’s largest
funders of animal welfare
causes, the Petco Foundation holds a responsibility
and obligation to invest
funds wisely in organizations that achieve their mission and vision. Therefore,
success, accountability and
prudent use of funds are
important to our grant analysis and follow-up process.
We have an expectation that
animal welfare organizations continually endeavor
to achieve a high standard
of doing more and are determined to save as many
lives as possible with our
investment.

$15 per runner, or $40 for
families of three or more.
In addition, a one mile fun
run/walk is scheduled, with
participants finding sponsors as a way of donating
to CAM.
“You can do the fun run/
walk with your family and
kids,” said Lawson. “It is a
half mile in and a half mile
back and you can do it at
your own pace. The causal
walk is also educational
as we will have signs with
homeless statistics on it
that they can read as they
walk.”
Last year, 66 runners and
walkers participated, which
resulted in $5,365 being
raised for CAM. In nine
years, nearly 850 runners
training. And we have inservice training constantly,” said Vincent. “I don’t
want to be the biggest in
the state, I just want us to
be the best and I think we
are well on our way to be
an established leader. And
that is why it was an honor
of us to be recognized with
Steuben County.”
Vincent said he knew
Howard County was a
leader in training its correction officers, and that
is one of the reasons he
helped develop the training
now utilized by the Indiana
Sheriff’s Association.
“We worked on the
AJOT program for nearly
a year before we launched
it,” said the local jail commander. “And now that we
have trained nearly 500
correction officers at 10
locations shows the program is a success. And I am
thankful that we have the
support of Sheriff Rogers
in allowing us to teach this
program around Indiana.”
Vincent said the curriculum has been such a success that they have now developed AJOT 2 – a second
course in corrections training. Topics in both courses
include medical and mental
health issues for inmates,
inmate classifications, jail
culture, staff effectiveness
and leadership development.
“It is something I am
proud of and I am happy
we developed something
worthwhile for the corrections community,” said
Vincent.
and walkers have mastered
the course while raising
money for the charitable
organization. Lawson also
noted that there is a traveling trophy that is awarded
to the organization that
raises the most money at
the Run for Shelter.
Lawson said the mission
of CAM is to unify the assistance ministries of the
religious community, show
God’s love, meet needs not
being met by community
agencies and cooperate
with social service agencies in meeting the needs
of our community.
“We exist through generous donations of churches,
organizations, and individuals of our wonderful community,” she said.
“Our service area includes
Howard, Carroll, Cass,
Clinton, Miami and Tipton
Counties.”
In a single year, CAM
serves more than 1,000 individuals and families, and
the facility is open each
week day as a day shelter
for those in need. She noted that many of the housing
success stories have come
in the last 10 years – coincidentally with the start of
funding through the Run
for Shelter. CAM shelters

Sounding the Thunder
Eastern’s Brent
Bachman takes game
to next level with
Trine football
By Dean Hockney
Sports Editor
In high school, Brent Bachman was a two-way lineman for
the Eastern Comets. But that will
soon change as the 6-2, 224-pound
Greentown product will concentrate on the defensive line as he
embarks on a college career at
Trine University in Angola.
“I’ll do whatever benefits the
team because that’s what I’ve
done in high school,” said Bachman. “We’re a smaller school so
we have to put guys where it benefits us best. I’m ready for whatever
they choose.”
Bachman said he had narrowed
his choice to Taylor and Trine, but
deep down, he knew he wanted to
play for the Thunder.
“I felt like I should be there,”
said Bachman, who will study
physical therapy in an accelerated
program. “Every time I visited
Trine I felt like I should be there.”
Eastern football head coach Josh
Edwards said Bachman is as good
in the classroom as he is the field
– and that will benefit the lineman.
“Brent is a kid who really didn’t
start playing organized football
until his freshman year,” said
Edwards. “From there, he transformed himself in the weight
room. Combine that with being a
good student and I think he will
excel at Trine. That is a bunch of
intelligent kids at Trine and he fits
well in that.”
Bachman will walk into a great

situation as the Thunder s ranked
No. 18 in the nation in the Lindy’s
Sports 2015 NCAA Division III
Top 25 Poll.
The Thunder are the lone MIAA
representative to appear in the preseason poll. Trine is coming off a
season in which the Thunder finished 6-4 overall, with a 4-2 mark
in the MIAA that tied for second
in the conference. The 2015 season will be Trine’s first under Troy
Abbs, who was promoted to the
head coaching position in the offseason after serving as the team’s
defensive coordinator since 2006.
Under Abbs, the Thunder defense
produced 17 All-MIAA First Team
defensive performers, including
three defensive MVPs.
Trine is expected to return nine
starters on the offensive side of the
ball, including the entire offensive
line.
“I see myself fitting in well,”
said the former Comet. “I really
like Trine’s coaching staff and
Coach Abbs. He really seems to
really have a love for the game.”
Edwards said he thinks his star
lineman can excel in the Trine
lineup, but we will need to step it
up as each player on the squad was
also the best at his high school.
“He will need to learn to flip
that switch and take it to the next
gear,” said Edwards. “He is a nice
kid, so he is going to have to develop that nasty streak to play at
the next level. He has the tools,
just needs to pick it up a notch.”
For Bachman and Trine, the season kicks off under the lights Sept.
3 when the Thunder host Manchester. Kick-off of the traditional,
season-opening rivalry is slated
for 7:30 p.m. in Fred Zollner Athletic Stadium.
IBF Youth finishers advance to State
Despite tough
conditions, Final IBF
Youth tournament
was a success on
Lake Freeman
The final Indiana Bass Federation
Youth Tournament is in the books
and some lucky kids finished the
season good enough to
qualify for one more
tournament; the state
championship which
will be held in September on a date and lake
to be announced later.

This past weekend’s MARTINO
finale was a tough one, OUTDOOR

light weights brought
in by the young anglers. The boat traffic, debris and
heat of summer made the event
on Lake Freeman challenging.
Not a lot of fish were brought to
the scales. In fact, none of them
brought in a 5-fish limit; but still,
a couple kids still managed to get it
done and weigh in some nice bass.
Casey Cornelius from Indianapolis pulled out the win in the 1114 year-old division with a total
combined weight of 5.04 pounds.
Cornelius brought a pair of fish
to the scales, including a dandy
2.83-pound smallmouth.
When asked what his strategy
was to earn his win, Cornelius broke
it down.
“I started with Carolina rigs,

ramp,” he said. “That wasn’t working so we moved to the docks to

flip some jigs. As I flipped by one
dock, I flipped past it so I could
bump the jig around the post. I felt
a strike and shortly after landed
my first fish of the day. After that
we went to Ski Island and I went
back to a Carolina-rigged Super
Hog and boated my second fish.”
Scott Sledge from Greenwood
brought one bass to the scales, but
it was good enough for him to pull
off a second place finish as the fish
weighed 3.37 pounds. It also earned
him the event’s “Big Bass” honors.
When asked what his strategy
was to land the fish that anchored
his second place spot, Sledge commented, “I used my Denali Norwood heavy action rod to pitch a
jig in two feet of water to catch the
smallmouth off of a seawall.”
Ethan Sarault nabbed third with
2.75 pounds and Mitchell Conard
finished right behind him in fourth
with 2.70 pounds. Rounding out
the top five was Brayden Soto with
2.52 pounds.
Those that finished in the top
five in points for the season and

advancing to the State Championship Tournament are: Braxton
Munson 552 points), Sledge (545),
River Jones (531), Cornelius (516)
and Colsyn Head (500).
In the High School Division,
it was the powerhouse team of
Ben Messersmith and Griffin Fernandes who found a way to make
it happen in the tough conditions.
The pair brought in four fish with
a total combined weight of 9.40
pounds. to take first place. The pair
also had Big Bass with a beautiful
3.59 pound smallie.
“We didn’t have a chance to practice so our plan was to stick with
confidence water. We went up river
and caught a couple pretty quick,”
said Fernandes. “Towards the end of
the day it slacked off, but we were
able to boat two more fish and bring
four to the scales. It wasn’t a full
limit, but in the end it paid off.”
When asked what the pair threw
to give them the win, Fernandes
said “Green pumpkin Stupid

flipped docks, rocks and any struc-
ture we could find.”.
Shawn Zellers and Beau Ashcraft from Winamac took second with four fish totaling 7.08
pounds. There was a large gap
between second and third as
Elijah Hamrick and Jacob Ross
claimed the third spot with 3.39
pounds. The local team of Jacob
Ireland and Travis Miller secured
fourth with 3.21 pounds while Joe
Keller and Nathan Shuey missed
it by a few ounces to claim the
fifth place spot with 3.12 pounds.
The high school teams advancing to the State Championship are:
Messersmith/Fernandes (584 points),
Zellers/Ashcraft (573), Ireland/Miller (548), Keller/Shuey (541) and
Hunter Light/Avery Elswick (530).
A great crowd gathered at Tall
Timbers Marina for the weigh in as
many of the field have now called it
quits for the IBF Youth season. But
the stage is now set for the State
Championship showdown. Here is
wishing all of these young anglers
the very best in the upcoming IBF
Youth State Tournament.

Two-year run for
Kokomo Post
6 results in 54
victories
By Dean Hockney
Sports Editor
One year ago, the Kokomo Post 6 baseball team
returned to the Indiana
American Legion State
Finals for the first time
since 2001 – ending a 13year absence from the state
scene. This year, Kokomo
showed it once again was
a state power after winning its second consecutive
regional to advance to the
state finals in back-to-back
years for the first time since
1978-1979. Unfortunately,
one year after ending its
season as state runners-up,
the Sixers fell in the quarterfinals to end its season
fifth in the state.
But when Kokomo Post
6 looks back at its run in
the state finals, one inning
will stand out – a disastrous eighth inning in its
opening game. Leading
5-2, Kokomo looked to be
on cruise control to round
two of the winner’s bracket
when Floyd’s Knob Post
42 erupted for three long
home runs in the bottom of
the eighth inning to snatch
the lead away from the Sixers. While Kokomo did tie
the game in the top of the
ninth to send the contest
into extra innings, the damage may have been done to
the Sixers confidence.
Kokomo would eventually lose the opening game
7-6 in 12 innings, and after
downing Plymouth Post
27 in an easy 12-1 contest, they dropped out of
the tournament with an 8-5
loss in an elimination game
to host Terre Haute Post
346 the following day.
After a 25-10 campaign
this year, the Sixers end a
two-year state finals run
with an overall record of
54-17 and a pair of regional titles. And while a fourth
state title eluded the Sixers,
the program appears to be
headed in the right direction under manager Don
Andrews.
The Kokomo Post 6 baseball
team finished fifth at the
Indiana American Legion
state tournament. Pictured

Minor rule changes in track and cross-country
Beginning with the 2016
high school track and field
season, the head starter (or
designee), rather than the
implement inspector, shall
inspect all starting blocks
used in the running events.
The addition of Article 4 to
Rule 3-6 was one of eight
changes recommended by
the National Federation
of State High School Associations (NFHS) Track
and Field Rules Committee
at its June 15-17 meeting
in Indianapolis. The committee’s recommendations
were subsequently approved by the NFHS Board
of Directors.
“The committee did significant work in cleaning
up some confusion regard-
ing trials and passes by
expanding terms contained
in definitions,” said Becky
Oakes, NFHS director of
sports and liaison to the
Track and Field Rules Committee. “Likewise, changes
were made to include the
use of flags in field events
and update cross-country
rules to reflect the current
trends in the sport.”
Rules 6-1-1 through 5
were amended to expand
and clarify the definitions
for trials/attempts in throwing events. Rule 6-2-9
concerning a competitor’s
initiation of a trial was consequently affected by the
change. Similar revisions
were made to Rules 7-1-1
through 7 and Rule 7-2-12
so the same clarification
and expansion of definitions apply.
Other significant track
and field rules changes included the revision of Rule
3-10-7. The rule now states
that “the head event judge
may be equipped with
both a white and red flag”
to signal whether a throwing attempt is fair or foul.
The change will allow for
more efficient administration of field events and for
improved communication
between officials, coaches
and fans, Oakes said.
In cross-country, Rule
9-3-3 was revised to recommend the use of a video
or photograph to verify the
order of finish in races in
which the timing system
indicates a differential of
one-tenth of a second or
less. Having the video as
a back-up and a process
in place for problems that
may arise from the use of a
computerized transponder/
chip system is a good solution, Oakes said.
Added to Rule 9-3 is the
recommendation of a finish corral at cross-country
meets where transponders
are used for the order of
finish.
Other changes to crosscountry included an addition to Rule 9-1-3, which
now allows the use of double painted boundary lines
and/or natural or artificial
boundary markers as an
alternative method to mark
the course for both runners
and spectators.
The remaining changes
to track and field concern
equipment standards. Rule
6-5-2 was added, specifying the maximum allowed
diameter for indoor shot put
to account for the synthetic
cover that is not present
on the outdoor implement.
Rule 6-6-1 was revised to
allow for the use of newer
javelin materials such as
carbon fiber. Finally, Rule
7-6-3 was altered to recommend that the takeoff board
for long jump and triple
jump be eight inches wide,
but still allow for larger
boards.
Track and field is the sec-
ond-most popular sport for
boys with 580,321 participants in 16,271 schools and
is the No. 1 sport for girls
with 478,885 participants
in 16,217 schools during
the 2013-14 season, according to the NFHS Athletics
Participation Survey. Crosscountry is the seventh-most
popular sport for boys with
252,547 participants in
14,473 schools and is the
sixth-most popular sport for
girls with 218,121 participants in 14,267 schools.

Publications and Communications Department and a

ORDINANCE NO. 2015 BCCO-18
AN ORDINANCE OF THE
HOWARD COUNTY BOARD OF
COMMISSIONERS
ESTABLISHING RESTRICTED
ADDRESSES POLICY
UNDER IC 36-1-8.5
WHEREAS, IC 3-1-8.5-7 requires
Howard County to establish a
process to prevent a member of the
general public from gaining access
to the home address of a covered
person (as defined) by means of
Howard County’s public property
database website.
NOW, THEREFORE,
THE BOARD ADOPTS THE
FOLLOWING SUCH PROCESS,
EFFECTIVE AS OF JULY 1, 2015:
Section 1. Scope. This policy
applies to, and only to, Howard
County’s public property database
website that (a) is available to the
general public over the Internet;
(b) does not require registration,
subscription or the creation of a
user name and password to search
the website; and (c) connects a
covered person’s home address
to the covered person’s name, so
that search of the website for the
covered person’s name discloses
the covered person’s address.
Section 2.
Persons Covered.
This policy applies to the following
“covered persons,” as more
particularly defined in IC 36-1-8.53, 4, 4.5 and 6, which definitions are
incorporated herein by reference:
(a) a judge;
(b) a law enforcement officer;
(c) a victim of domestic violence;
or
(d) a public official.
Section 3.
Responsible
Department. The Howard County
Auditor’s Office shall have the
responsibility for receiving and
processing requests for restricted
addresses made by covered
persons.
Section 4.
Application for
Restricted Addresses.
A. By an Individual. An individual
covered person desiring to
restrict his/her address shall
complete and file with the
Howard County Auditor the
Application
for
Restricted
Access form attached at Exhibit
A.
The Auditor will verify
(with applicable agencies, if
necessary) that the submission
is valid and the applicant is a
“covered person.” Victims of
domestic violence must submit
proof of program participation in
the Indiana Attorney General’s
address confidentiality program.
If an application is denied by
the Auditor, the applicant may
appeal in writing to the Board of
Commissioners.
B. By a Cooperative Agency. The
Kokomo Police Department,
Howard
County
Sheriff’s
Department, Prosecutor’s Office
or similar agency (a “cooperative
agency”) may agree to provide
the Auditor’s Office an annual
bulk request including all current
covered persons within the
department or agency.
This
list shall also include those
individuals who have moved
from their primary residence
or are otherwise no longer a
“covered person”. This list shall
remain confidential pursuant to
IC 36-1-8.5-11.
C. Post Application Requirements.
Should any changes to the title
of a covered parcel occur, the
Auditor will remove that parcel
from the restricted address
list and a new request must
be made by a covered person
to again include that parcel in
the restricted list. If a covered
person transfers title to or moves
from a covered parcel, it is his/
her responsibility to file a new
application for a new covered
parcel. This policy is in effect for
requestor’s primary residence
only per IC 36-1-8.5-7. If the
requestor owns or is involved in
additional properties that utilize
the primary home address as
the mailing address, they will
be displayed. If the applicant
wishes to have those addresses
removed as well, a new
application is required for each.
Section 5.
Required System
Changes. To further implement
restricted addresses, the following
changes will be made to the
appropriate
Howard
County
information systems or third party
systems managed by Howard
County:
A. GIS: The search results for
GIS will reflect the changes
made to the MVP Database
for those records marked as
“Confidential”. These records
will display “Information withheld
in accordance with IC 36-18.5-4” in place of the name
information. It is the intention
of Howard County to comply
with the intent of the code to not
make the property accessible
by means of removing the link
between name and parcel
information.
B. Schneider Beacon Portal:
Once the option to suppress
has been enabled for a specific
parcel, it will not be returned in
search results or display on the
map.
Section 6. Confidentiality. All
applications made to Howard
County by a covered person are
confidential records and not subject
to public access.
Section 7. Immunity. Howard
County may not be held liable for
failure to timely restrict disclosure
of an address under this chapter
unless its act or omission
constitutes gross negligence or
willful or wanton misconduct.
Section 8. Application Fees.
A. Exclusion: Victims of domestic
violence will be excluded from
fees imposed under this section.
B. Initial Request: A fee of $15.00
per parcel will be assessed
for both bulk and individual
requests.
C. Additional Requests: A $15.00
per parcel fee will be assessed
for any changes to the title of
the parcel or relocation of the
covered person
D. Deposits: All fees collected
will be deposited to the County
general fund.
Section 9. Amendment. Howard
County reserves the right to amend
or revise the contents of this policy
as deemed suitable. The revised
policy will be available on the
County website.
Section 10. Effective Date. This
Ordinance shall be effective as of
July 1, 2015 upon adoption and
publication as required by law.
