Drug arrest has ties to recent death Court records: Huntington man had contact with Hovey moments before her death By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The arrest of a Huntington man on Thursday, March 3, may have ties to the Feb. 23 death of a Wabash woman. The man, Brandon R. L. Goins, 30, was arrested on a Huntington County warrant charging possession of methamphetamine, possession of a schedule I, II, III or IV controlled substance and operating a motor vehicle with a schedule I or II controlled substance or its metabolite in a person’s body, according to a news release from the North Manchester Police Department. Goins was also preliminarily charged with possession of

paraphernalia and possession of a syringe. According to a probable cause affidavit filed with the Wabash Circuit Court, NMPD officers served an arrest warrant on Goins at a residence in the 100 block of North River Road. The residence is leased by Alicia M. Combs, 28, North Manchester. According to the court documents, Officer Matt Galligan had witnessed Goin enter the residence earlier in the day. Officers attempted to serve the warrant by knocking on the residence door, announcing their presence and asking Goins to come to the door, according to the affidavit. When he did not comply, officers forced entry

into the residence and ordered Goins to the ground, the documents continued. Goins was taken into custody without further incident. Upon Goins’ removal from the residence, officers began speaking to Combs. Galligan read her her Miranda warning and she was preliminarily charged with assisting a criminal, possession of paraphernalia and possession of a syringe. Combs informed the officers that Goins had been staying with her since January, according to the court documents. Officers then advised Combs that Goins is a known drug user and drug dealer. “Alicia was advised that Brandon is suspected of selling

phone number to be used by Brandon Goins.” “During our investigation of the death of Kandi (Brandt) Hovey we found text messages between her phone and Goins’

Veterans’ Town Hall meeting set March 18 By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The 2016 ArtsFest – formerly the Charley Creek ArtsFest – will be bigger and better than ever, Artistic Director Ranaan Meyer told The Paper of Wabash County. Meyer, who also is the double bassist in the string trio Time for Three, was in Wabash last week promoting the festival in schools, with civic organizations and at other locations around Wabash. “I think it’s going to be leaps and bounds to what it was,” Meyer said of the festival. “Kristen Chenoweth is a bridge artist who is super famous.” Chenoweth, who won a Tony Award for her role in “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” will perform June 26 at the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater. “I’m really psyched because I know people are going to want to come to the show,” Meyer said. “They’re going to want to see it. It’s going to be part of ArtsFest and will close the whole thing down, and I think it’s really going to (continued on page 5)

Data compiled in the 2016 Kids County in Indiana Data Book shows that more than one in six Hoosier high school girls have been sexually assaulted by the time they turn 18. That’s the second highest rate in the nation. More than one in 10 high school students report their boyfriend or girlfriend has hit, slapped or physically hurt them on purpose. Indiana Youth Institute (IYI) and Purdue Extension Wabash County are teaming up to help youth workers, school counselors, teachers, parents, youth minis-

ters and other caring adults understand the problem and potential solutions. The event will run from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday, March 11 at the Bowen Center, 255 North Main Street in Wabash. Ted Westerhof and Matthew Graham with Bowen Center will speak to attendees about partner abuse, how it impacts young people and the skills teens need to know to deal with the situation. They will discuss how to understand teen perceptions of dating violence, the therapy skills adults need to help teens, and the local resources available to assist with

awareness and intervention. As part of IYI’s Youth Worker Café program, the forum and lunch are free, but reservations are required. RSVP at www.iyi.org/ywc. If you have trouble with the link, please contact IYI Statewide Outreach Manager Debbie Jones via email at djones@iyi.org. This event is funded in part by the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County. Youth Worker Cafés are designed to bring together local youth workers to build relationships and inspire collaborations that will benefit children.

The inspector states that the damage to both roofs is less that the deductible so no check will be issued. This still leaves us with two buildings that will soon need new roofs. At the last meeting of the Town Board the roof issue was discussed. The board must choose either a metal roof or replacement with new shingles. If shingles are selected we might be able to use local volunteers to keep the cost low. The old shingles would need to be removed and disposed of. The metal roof would have a longer life but would most likely need professional installation. Any input as to how we should fund and facilitate this project is encouraged and

welcomed. This is a very important project and imperative to the survival of our community as we know it.

City gives Huntington man time to fix home By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Huntington resident John G. Davis entered the March 2 Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety meeting facing the possibility of being ordered to

demolish a home at 1344 Middle St. Rather, Davis convinced the board that he is willing to do whatever it takes to fix the home and make it livable once again. Davis received 30 days from the board to begin repairing the structure’s

roof and to present a timeline in which he plans to complete renovations. Davis was summoned to appear before the board by B u i l d i n g Commissioner John Stephens. During an unsafe building hearing, Stephens outlined for the threemember board the various problems with the structure. Stephens, under questioning by City Attorney Randi Zimmerman-Irgang, said he has inspected the site several times over a two-year period. “The roof has several leaks in it,” he said, describing the condition of the home. “The soffit is missing, or a good portion of it. The roof in the rear is in pretty bad shape.” He said the home is vacant and unsecure and has become dilapidated because of lack of care. It is hurting property values of

surrounding homes, he continued, but said the home isn’t structurally bad. However, he did say it was a threat to public health. Davis was adamant that he would do whatever he had to do to repair the building and bring it up to local standards. “I don’t want to tear this house down,” he said. “I’m willing to do whatever it takes to fix the house up.” He noted that when purchased the home the site was overrun with brush. He removed the brush and has since had someone cut the lawn every week. He also said he had the home and garage rewired. “I came back one week later and all that wiring was cut out,” Davis continued. “I notified the police and made a report. I got a little discouraged and had it closed up. “At that point in time I put a new door on back after the

wiring was cut out. I came back and the door was kicked in.” Davis also said he thought he had the home sold on two occasions. However, both times the sale fell through. “At this point, I’m willing to do whatever it takes,” Davis said. “I’ll have a written agreement with the building inspector with what he wants done, and I’ll make sure it gets done.” He said he and a few workers would do the work at the site, adding, “I’ll have a roof on there in a very short amount of time.” Board member Dee Byerly asked if Davis was willing to put whatever money it takes to repair the property. He said he was. “I don’t want to knock your plans at all, I’m all for you,” Byerly told Davis. “As I sit here and look at these (photos of the home), I think, my

gosh.” Davis said the damage looks worst than it truly is “and if you give me a reasonable amount of time, and you can have your building inspector check on it, I guarantee it will be done.” The board asked if Davis planned to sell or rent the home once finished. He said he would like to sell the home, but already had at least one person interested in renting the home. Mayor Scott Long said he’d like to see

the roof repaired, and then a timeline developed between Davis and Stephens. “I’d rather work with you and keep it on the tax rolls rather than tear it down,” the mayor said. Davis received 30 days to begin work on the roof and he is to appear at the first board meeting in April with a time schedule for the rest of the repairs. “Weather permitting (roof repairs) will be before the 30 days,” Davis said.

ArtsFest to be better than ever, artistic director says

... continued from the front page raise the bar for next year.” Chenoweth’s performance is the final program of the threeday event. “It kicks off with a couple of events that you’re going to have to choose from,” Meyer said. “The WaBass Recital starts out on Friday evening, and simultaneously there’s a farm-to-table event in the alley. They’re both going to be incredible events. Unfortunately, people are going to have to decide one or the other. “But that’s one of the cool things about a festival. South by

Southwest, they have seven bands playing and you just have to walk around and choose, and that’s part of the fun of it.” A gallery walk also will take place on Friday night, featuring the various galleries around downtown Wabash. On Saturday, a craft beer tasting is planned at the Honeywell House, and Saturday night Jenny Devoe, an Indianapolis-based singer and songwriter, will perform at the Historic Eagles Theatre. “She reminds me of Janis Joplin, the way she belts in the cli-

mactic moments of her songs,” Meyer said of Devoe. Also Saturday will be a jewelry-making workshop at Gallery 65 in downtown Wabash. “The way it’s being described to me, it makes me want to go, and I’m not much of a jewelry guy,” Myer said. “I know my wife is going to be into it because she actually worked at a small jewelry shop growing up. “That’s actually limited to 15 people, so you have to sign up for that pretty quickly.” On Sunday, Meyer will “flip the script” with a journalist, and will conduct a public

interview with M. Travis DiNicoloa, who hosts “The Art of the Matter” on WFYI, the Indianapolis Public Broadcasting station. “I’m getting interviewed all the time all around the world, from boutique-type establishments to national and international (outlets),” Meyer said. “I get so many questions, that one might come along that might change my life. A great question can just set me in a different direction sometime. “I was curious what would happen if we did this.” DiNicoloa was interested and recep-

tive to the aspect of a role-reversal. “Where I’m coming from is I find what you guys do extremely fascinating, and we don’t get to hear your perspective on it,” Meyer said. “Me, as an artist, being so impacted by the questions and how you affect our lives so positively – it could also be negatively – knock on wood, for me its always been positive.” The interview will be at 2 p.m. at the Dr. James Ford Historic Home. Admission is $10. The Chenoweth concert is at 7:30 p.m., and

tickets range from $55 to $150. Tickets for all the

events are available at the Honeywell Center Box Office.

Autumn Ridge, YMCA start new older adult attendance initiative By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash County YMCA Silver Sneaker and older adult members have a new reason to actively visit the local athletic center this year. In partnership with Autumn Ridge

awarded for coming,” Sara Correll, Silver Sneakers coordinator, told The Paper of Wabash County. “I mean we want them to come because they want to be here and to exercise, but giving them an incentive to do that has been a great thing. “People are really excited and they make sure to stop at the front desk when they come in to ask for their tickets, and they’ve been asking their instructors.” Michael Lehman, Autumn Ridge admission director, and Patty Godfroy, YMCA member engagement director, developed the idea for the drawing, Correll accredited. “The Y is a really big asset to the community,” Lehman said, “and Autumn Ridge is really big about being a part of the community so we thought, ‘What can we do to partner with the Y to not only help them give back to the community but also help us give back to

Pat Shoemaker (left), a Wabash County YMCA Silver Sneaker member, won a new Keurig brewing system after entering the Active Older Adult Drawing, sponsored by Autumn Ridge Rehabilitation Center. The drawing will take place monthly and older adults or Silver Sneaker members may enter a ticket each time they visit, attend a class or play bingo at the YMCA. Sara Correll (center), YMCA Silver Sneakers coordinator, and Michael Lehman, Autumn Ridge admissions director, presented Shoemaker with her prize on Tuesday, March 1. Photo by Emma Rausch Sneaker visits also increased by 282 visits between January and February, according to Correll. “We had 1,860 entries,” she said. “It was amazing. We had no idea what to expect with this being the first time that we did it. “We didn’t know

how many people would enter and be involved, and so to have 1,860 entries, that was just amazing.” Pat Shoemaker, a Silver Sneakers member, took home the drawing’s first prize on Tuesday, March 1. For March, the drawing prize is a

Kindle Fire tablet package, according to Lehman. “We want to do something that tangible, that’s physical so we’ve kind of shied away from the gift cards and gas cards,” Lehman said. “We want to give them something that they can walk away with.”

the community. “So we decided to provide these monthly drawing (items) for their older adult members or Silver Sneaker program,” he continued. “We always want to help boost getting older adults into the Y to be more active. Being active is important especially when you’re young, but you kind of lose that ability once you get older. “So we’re really trying to think of more ways to get the older audience into the Y.” Silver Sneaker and older adult members get the tickets by scanning their cards each visit, attending the YMCA’s classes or attending the center’s bingo nights. “So the more they do, the more chances they get, the more likely they have to win,” Correll said. For the first drawing, which took place throughout February, more than 1,800 tickets were collected for a chance to win the Keurig system. The YMCA’s Silver

We all go through tough times in this journey we call life. There are simply too many highs and lows on the path of life. I realized a long time ago that tennis is the perfect vehicle to teach young players the many life lessons to make them champions on the court and also champions in life. Courage is a core value that is often over looked or not given much thought. It takes courage to walk on a tennis court in a one on one competition style and represent your school, and for that matter, at the same time represent yourself. Tennis gives players the opportunity to play through tough times. I just watched a player at a national event that cramped up three times in a three set match that lasted over 3 hours, he never quit. He came up short in the end but fought til the end and earned a ton of respect from those who were fortunate to see the match, plus his opponent helped him off the court at the end. That took courage.” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe and enjoyable week! PLEASE EMAIL YOUR NEWS AND INFORMATION TO: isaac.triplett@yahoo.c om, or call me at 260274-2261.

4 arrested on drug related charges By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Two Fort Wayne men were arrested Friday, Feb. 26, on drug related charges after a routine traffic stop. A Wabash man and a LaPorte man were also reportedly arrested on drug related charges during two separate incidents. At approximately 8:30 p.m. on Friday, Isaac Robles, 20, and Alexis Piedra, 20, both of Fort Wayne, were eastbound on U.S. 24 when they were stopped by Trooper Dustin A. Rutledge for speeding, according to a probable cause affidavit filed with the Wabash Circuit Court. The documents stated Rutledge observed an average reading of 80 mph on his radar and initiated a traffic stop. The driver, later identified as Piedra, had only lowered his window approximately 3 inches, according to the court documents. “I asked the driver to roll it the rest of the way down and he did so with a disgruntled look on his face,” Rutledge stated in the affidavit. “The driver would not look at me and continued to stare forward out the windshield while the passenger tried to locate the license and registration I requested.” The passenger was later identified as

Robles. Rutledge then proceeded to ask the two subjects if there was anything illegal in the truck and they indicated there was not, according to the court documents. The trooper reported the traffic stop to his dispatch and asked if the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department had a K9 unit available, which it did not at the time, the documents continued. After completing the warning and ticket, Rutledge returned to the vehicle and began explaining the items to the driver. “I first gave him his copy of the warning for improper display of his license plate,” Rutledge stated. “While I was explaining the ticket to the driver, I began to smell the odor of raw marijuana coming from within the vehicle. “I asked again the two subjects if there was anything illegal in the truck and they state there was not.” Rutledge returned to his vehicle and requested backup. Upon the additional officers’ arrivals, Rutledge removed Piedra and Robles from the vehicle and asked a third time if there were any illegal items in the vehicle. “Mr. Piedra finally understood I was going to search the truck and informed me he had some marijuana in his red and black backpack in the

truck,” Rutledge stated. Officers searched the vehicle and found a plastic bag of 30 grams of marijuana, a peanuts container holding two plastic bags filled with a green plant substance and a $1 bill that was folded up and held a small amount of white powder, which was later positively identified as cocaine, according to the affidavit. Robles admitted that the peanuts container and folded $1 bill belonged to him, the documents continued. Robles was preliminarily charged with felony possession of cocaine or schedule I

or II narcotic drug of at least five but less than 10 grams, misdemeanor dealing in marijuana, hash oil, hashish or salvia and misdemeanor possession of marijuana, hashish, hash oil or salvia. Piedra was preliminarily charged with possession of marijuana, hash oil, hashish or salvia. At a separate incident on Feb. 26, Bobby L. Fields, 39, Wabash, was arrested for felony dealing in methamphetamine. The following week on Monday, Feb. 29, Nathan S. Harrison, 25, LaPorte, was arrested on felony dealing in a narcotic drug.

March 9, 2016

Social workers learn about suicide prevention By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Social workers from around the area received tips on how to intervene if someone is thought to be contemplating suicide. Presented by representatives of the Youth Service Bureau of Huntington County, training was given Tuesday, March 1, during two, two-hour seminars at the Wabash County YMCA. Instructors Stephen Ward and C h a u n c e y A r m s t r o n g explained the QPR theory to 13 social workers gathered for the morning session. A second session took place Tuesday afternoon. QPR stands for Question, Persuade, Refer, and urges those suspecting someone of contemplating suicide to “Question a person about suicide; Persuade the person to get help; and Refer the person to the appropriate source.” Before beginning the program, Ward and Armstrong explained the prevalence of suicide in society today. Suicide is the third leading cause of death for youth, claiming more than 200 Hoosiers between the ages of 10 and 19 from 2010-13. However, suicide can effect all ages. In Indiana, it is the 11th leading cause of death in 2013, claim-

ing 937 lives. That means ever 9.3 hours someone dies by suicide in Indiana, and every 4 1/2 days a young Hoosier takes his or her own life. Nationally, suicide is the 10th leading cause of death, claiming 41,149 lives in 2013. That means that every 13 seconds, someone dies by suicide. One in five Hoosiers between ages 15 and 19 have contemplated suicide, the pair noted, making that rate the highest in the United States. Of those contemplating it, one in nine have attempted it, the second highest rate in the U.S. Suicide can happen for a variety of reasons, including mental health or substance abuse disorders; extreme hopelessness and suffering a loss – such as the death of a loved one, a divorce or break-up or financial woes – that feels devastating. The pair noted that there are both direct and indirect verbal clues that someone might be contemplating suicide. Direct clues include someone saying “I’ve decided to kill myself ” or “I’m going to end it all.” Indirect clues are someone saying things such as “I just want out” or “Pretty soon you won’t have to worry about me.” Changes in behavior – such as purchasing a gun, stockpiling pills, giving away prized possessions or putting

one’s personal affairs in order – also are signs of potential suicide. If those signs are noticed, the pair noted, someone should step in and ask in a direct manner if someone is considering suicide. One such question might be, “You know, when people are upset as you seem to be, they sometimes wish they were dead. I’m wondering if you feel that way, too?” However, they noted, do not approach the situation with a question such as “You’re not suicidal, are you?” The individual should then persuade the person to get help, going as far as offering to take them to seek help. Showing an interest and a willingness to listen can rekindle hope in the person. In fact, the pair said, taking a person to seek help is the best type of referral there is. The next is getting a commitment from them to accept help, then making arrangements to get the help. Other words of encouragement include telling the person “I want you to live” or “I’m on your side, we’ll get through this.” Ward and Armstrong reminded those in attendance that QPR is not intended to be a form of counseling or treatment. Rather, it is intended to offer hope through positive action.

Local Relay for Life takes on Indiana history, reality television as 2016 theme By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The American Cancer Society Relay for Life of Wabash County launched its fundraising season on Thursday, March 3, with a new theme and new goals. The local Relay’s theme is “mash up” of history and reality television, according to the local Relay committee. “Our sign that’s going to go everywhere says, ‘Cancer doesn’t have to be our reality because we learn from the past,’” Event Chair Amanda Wiley said. “For Indiana’s 200-year anniversary, we’re doing the historical (theme) and we also have the reality TV (theme). “So the survivor’s tent are actually going to be ‘Survivor’ the TV show. … You can do Wabash history, Indiana history or you can do a reality TV show.” This year’s 5K race, for example, was

Committee officials for the American Cancer Society Relay for Life of Wabash County sorted through previous year’s banners at the 2016 Relay for Life kick off meeting on Thursday, March 3. This year, new banners are one change to the annual event. Photo by Emma Rausch named “The Amazing Race” to follow the theme. Wiley also announced the local Relay for Life’s set date is Saturday, Aug. 13, at the Paradise Spring Historical Park in

downtown Wabash from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. The Survivors’ Dinner will take place Thursday, Aug. 4, at the Wabash Church of the Nazarene. The committee will also be hosting the sec-

ond annual Shop for a Cure Bazaar on March 12. Attendees can shop from 18 different vendors, enjoy bake sale items and win door prizes from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Heartland REMC Building. Several changes for goals and banners were also announced at the event launch. Last year, 253 participants joined the Relay, 50 survivors were celebrated and 29 teams registered for the event. In all, it raised $65,365.94, which was more than $8,000 than their set goal of $57,000. However, the committee hopes to do better this year. “We raised $65,000 last year and didn’t want to jinx ourselves this year, so we took our goal down,” Wiley said. “We don’t know if it’s going to continue to be that, but we didn’t want to set it at $67,000 and (last year) was just a fluke so we are trying to be realistic … but we want to do the same or better.” Although the event

committee set the same $57,000 fundraiser goal, this year it hopes to have 350 participants, 27 teams, 80 survivors celebrated and 10 American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) members, according to Wiley. “ASC CAN, actually it’s a program that’s been around for quite a while,” Event vice chair Aaron Holley said. “It’s something that we are continuing to try and ramp up our efforts in as a Relay. Its purpose is to continue

to promote advocacy as a government level. “Basically it’s just getting all legislators nationally to understand what an important cause cancer awareness, cancer research is.” Banners, which will hang in downtown Wabash, will also change. “The new banners are actually going to be sewn then glued,” she explained. “Last year, we had a lot of times where these (old banners) would fall off because of the weath-

er, so that is why we’re getting these new banners. Everything will be double (secured) and they’ll be thicker than (the old banners).” The new banners will cost $75 for name renewals and $100 for new names. To pick up a previous year’s banner, contact a committee member before May. To register as a survivor, participant, start a team or donate to the cause, visit www.relayforlife.org/ wabashcountyin.

He is the son of Todd and Angel Shear. Shoue plans to attend Rose Hulman Technical Institute, Purdue University, or Trine University after graduation from Northfield High School to study chemical engineering. David’s diverse interests have led him to volunteering at a local food pantry, participating in National Honor Society, the school band, theater, Student Council, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and the Youth Camp Council at Camp Mack. His rounded achievements earned him the title of Northfield Student of the Year in 2014. He is the son of John and Janet Shoue. Danielle Sparling plans to attend the University of Indianapolis to obtain a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing after graduation from Southwood High School. Her

ultimate goal is to earn a Master’s of Science in Nursing and become a nurse practitioner so that she can help others and improve quality of life for the community. Danielle is very active in school and her community; she participates in National Honor Society, Spanish Club, 4-H, dance, and golf. She also is a student columnist for The Wabash Plain Dealer and enjoys helping other students through tutoring after school and assisting in kindergarten classes. Passionate about volunteering in order to better the community, Danielle believes that “when people are dedicated to helping and serving others, it promotes a healthy and compassionate community.” She is the daughter of Daniel and Michelle Sparling Established in 1998 to draw more talented Indiana students to college, the Lilly Endowment aims to raise the level of educational attainment in the state and eliminate the barrier of financial need and college debt for recipients. The Lilly E n d o w m e n t C o m m u n i t y

Scholarship is a prestigious scholarship awarded to students throughout Indiana. Recipients receive a four-year, full tuition scholarship to the Indiana institution of higher learning of his or her choice. Each year, many students apply, but only one Wabash County student will receive the scholarship. While there can be only one winner, all finalists are exceptionally talented and qualified. The level of drive, determination, and passion for education that the 2016 finalists exhibit is wonderfully encouraging. These students will undoubtedly make Wabash proud as the next generation of successful businessmen, doctors, nurses, educators, and engineers. The C o m m u n i t y Foundation congratulates all the finalists for this prestigious award and wishes them all the best in their future endeavors. The winner will be announced in the spring.

they took their 20-4 record and number 13 ranking against thirdranked and defending sectional champion Oak Hill, who sported a 22-2 record. Oak Hill trailed just once in the game and slowly pulled away from Southwood to pull out a 69-53 win to advance to the Regional. A 3-point play from Southwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alex Harmon gave the Knights their only lead at 3-1 81 seconds into the game. Oak Hill answered with a 3pointer from Christian Livingston that started a 9-0 run for a 10-3 lead. The Eagles held a 157 lead midway through the first quarter, but the Knights cut it to 1512 with a 3-pointer from Matthew Nose and an inside basket from Harmon. Oak Hill answered right back with five straight points, but two baskets from Brandin Frazier helped the Knights cut it to 20-16 at the end of one. Oak Hill broke things open with an 110 run to start the second quarter, but Frazier scored back-toback baskets and Carson Blair got on the scoreboard with a jumper to cut it to 3122. Oak Hill responded with a 10-3 run and took a 41-27 halftime lead. The Eagles took control of the game with an 8-2 run to take a 4929 lead early in the third quarter and never led Southwood get closer than 13 points the rest of the game. Southwood was led by Frazier with 18 points, followed by Harmon with 11, and Blair and Nose with nine each. Livingston led the Eagles with 29 points, including four 3-pointers. Southwood ends its season with a 20-5 record.

Semi-Finals Southwood 62, Manchester 50 Southwood got to the championship game with a 62-50 win over Manchester in the semi-finals Friday night. Manchester held a 52 lead midway through the first quarter, but Southwood went on a 12-0 run, with five points from Peyton Trexler, four from Brandin Frazier, and a 3-pointer from Carson Blair. The Knights took a 16-6 lead into the second quarter, but Manchester fought back a drive from Chase Fierstos and an offensive rebound and put-back from Koehl Fluke. S o u t h w o o d answered with strong defense and a 7-2 run to take a 28-17 lead late in the half. Fierstos did his best to keep the Squires close with five straight points in the third quarter to cut it to 3024, but Southwood responded with a 10-2 run to make it 40-26 at the end of three. The Knights never led the Squires get to within single digits and advanced with a 62-50 win.

Oak Hill 58, Northfield 39 Oak Hill and Northfield faced off for the second time in seven days, and unfortunately for the Norse, the result was the same as the Eagle topped Northfield 58-39 in the semi-final round of the Manchester Sectional.

Shear used a 3-point play to cut it to 14-9, but the Eagles scored five straight for a 19-9 lead. Shear hit a 3-pointer, to cut it to 19-12, but Oak Hill closed out the half with a 6-2 run for a 25-14 lead.

and responsive. It was such a great crowd that was full of energy. “I could hear it singing on many songs. That energized the performers. I think we all were all getting a performance rust from the crowd response.” Twenty-four musicians played three sets, each with a different line-up. The concert opened with the Eagles’ 1972 debut single, “Take it Easy” and finished with all the musicians on stage playing the group’s biggest hit, the 1976 song “Hotel California.” “The performers really enjoyed the play off the crowd and even though there were some mistakes here and there, the overall sound was full and rich and paid a fitting tribute to the Eagles and Glenn Frey,” Velasquez said.

He thanked all who were involved, from the musicians and the audience, to the crew from the Eagles Theatre who worked at the event. “I can not thank enough those people who donated their time and worked at home on their own, and then showed up for the practices,” Velasquez said. “The Eagles Theatre staff was very friendly and helpful. Their expertise and cooperation was key to this whole thing.” Eddingfield Law Office sponsored the event. “I think this thing went off as well as I could hope for,” Velasquez said. As for future shows … “There is interest in doing another from some,” Velasquez said. “But I need to take some time and recoup.”
