Good Morning Ya'll, I hope you have a great day and it is the weekend getting ready to start up again and I hope you have a good one at that. It is a bit chilly out there this morning and there is frost on the cars windows. Our temperature is at 13 degrees with a windchill of 12 degrees at 6:18am. There are no school or business delays for today. There is a light wind that is variable and there is still some snow/ice on the roads so do be careful as some of that ice could be black ice and it will be hard to tell if it is just water or ice. Lets see what's going on in the news. East Noble's "101 Dalmatians KIDS" tickets on sale Monday. Tickets for an East Noble Children’s Theatre show, “101 Dalmatians KIDS,” go on sale Monday at Cole Auditorium of East Noble High School. The box office will be open Monday through Thursday 4-6 p.m., Friday, March 14, 4-7 p.m. and Sunday, March 16, 1-2 p.m. Tickets cost $5 and may be ordered through the box office by calling 347-7167 from 4-6 p.m. beginning Monday.

Performers scheduled to date are: • Cathie Kreigh — A soprano with the Heartland Chamber Chorale, her CD of spiritual, classical and pop favorites will be available. She teaches a limited number of voice and piano students. • Vance Hamlin — He has worked with several congregations to help develop contemporary worship, teaches guitar and trains worship leaders. • Carmen Johnson — She was a big hit at the first “Noble County’s Got Talent” show. Now 14, she is involved in East Noble theater and art projects. • TC Dance Academy of Performing Arts — One group number and one solo number. • Staci Stork — She belongs to two bands, “Hubie Ashcroft and the Drive” and “Scarlett.” Two years ago, Scarlett signed with a local label and produced a soon-to-be-released CD.

He played throughout high school, but then put his cello away. When Kyra, a student at St. John Lutheran School, started playing the cello, Nick came out of retirement. The two play together often. • Lydia Tremaine — The sophomore at East Noble is active in theater and show choir. She has helped lead worship at First Christian Church in Kendallville. She will be accompanied by her mother, Becky Tremaine, a music teacher for Fort Wayne Community Schools. • Jacob Niblick — A senior at East Noble, he has been practicing the art of illusion since age 9. He loves the fact that magic leaves people questioning the realm of possibility. He plans to attend IPFW and would like to someday be a professional magician.

Good Morning Ya'll, I hope you have a good day and a wonderful weekend. It is cold outside with the temperature at 3 below and the windchill at 13 below at 6:26am. There some delays and I have them posted and if anything changes I will get them updated. There are some slick icy spots still out on the roads that can be hazardous so do be careful driving out there. There is frost on the car windows so please scrap or defrost your car and it will also make it warm inside as well. Please check on your animals if they are outside and that they have some kind of cover to get out of the cold and that it is warm in their doghouse and also that their water is fresh and not frozen. Check on your elderly neighbors throughout the day to see that they are doing ok and that they have heat if not try to have them come over for awhile to get warm and if you have a spare heater let them borrow it to help keep warm. Today we have our Euchre players coming in around noonish to 1-ish to have their card game. Lets see what's going on in the news. Technology helps East Noble students get into history. Using their laptop computers to design posters, write personal diaries of American Revolution participants and create trading cards and video games about the Bill of Rights are among the ways East Noble Middle School students are learning about U.S. history and government. “It can be boring to today’s students, and these are ways to get them engaged in history,” middle school social studies teacher Matthew Bennett told the East Noble school board Wednesday night.
Bennett and middle school social studies teacher Katy David, along with eighth-grade students Jordan Taulbee, Matthew Demchak and Abigail Vorndran, demonstrated how they use Web 2.0 tools in classroom for projects. Vorndran held up a poster she made for a project on the American Revolution. “This is how you may remember projects were done,” David told trustees. Vorndran then presented a PowerPoint presentation on a poster-design project about influential women in the American Revolution, which she completed using software on her school-supplied laptop computer. Demchak presented trading cards with facts about the American Revolution he made on his computer, and Taulbee demonstrated a video game with moving figures in a library setting she made to learn about the Bill of Rights. “This is combined with traditional methods, and the students like it. It sparks discussion,” Bennett said. In other business Wednesday, school trustees: • approved business manager Brian Leitch’s recommendation to pay full-day subsitute teachers an additional $12 per day to compensate for the extended hour worked during snow makeup days scheduled Feb. 24 through March 27. • accepted the resignations of Avilla Elementary School fifth-grade teacher Robert Neilson and Lisa Starkey, school counselor for North Side and Wayne Center elementary schools. • approved contracts for Adam Kirkpatrick as East Noble High School assistant boys’ basketball coach effective Dec. 28, 2013, and Taylor Brinneman as percussion specialist at the high school for the 2013-2014 school year. • approved the reassignment of part-time food service assistant Jean Smith from Avilla Elementary School to East Noble Middle School. • acknowledged the accomplishments of East Noble wrestling state finalists Nate Weimer, Connor Knapp, Garrett Pepple and Brandon Joest.

Good Morning Ya'll, I hope you have a good day despite the school delays already this morning. I have them posted and will keep them updated. It is cold out there with the temperature at 10 degrees and the wind chill of -2 below at 6:32am. There is blowing snow with gusts of wind and will be drifting as well so do be careful out there. For some of you by the time you get ready to go to work you will have snow covering your car so you might want to go out a bit early and start up your car and clean off the snow on the windows. Lets see what's going on in the news. East Noble to build new Middle School. The East Noble school corporation will embark on the most expensive building project since its high school was completed in 1966. The project is estimated to cost $22 million to $25 million, or about double the price of the recent Wayne Center Elementary School or North Side Elementary School projects.Board members John Wicker, Barb Babcock, Dr. David Holliday and board President Dan Beall voted in favor of Babcock’s motion for the building project. Board members Carol Schellenberg, Steve Pyle and Dexter Lutter were absent from the meeting in the East Noble Middle School library. “Take a deep breath after that,” said Beall. Trustees had been discussing what to do about the middle school for about a year. A location for the new school was not decided, although the school corporation owns nearly 36 acres of undeveloped land on the east side of Sherman Street Extended across from South Side Elementary School. East Noble Superintendent Ann Linson said after the meeting that a decision on a site should come next in the process. The impact on property taxes cannot be determined until after trustees select a site, decide on a design and learn the final cost. After reviewing the past 12 months of input the board has received on the proposed project, Linson told trustees their decision Wednesday night was only the beginning. “It’s a lengthy process,” she said. The existing middle school, parts of which date back to 1915 when it was built as Kendallville High School, would have needed extensive repairs and upgrades. The safety, security, comfort and learning environment of students in the school have been discussed at length for the past year. Kari Vilamaa, the school corporation’s architectural consultant, estimated renovation would cost about the same as building a new school at a different location. Before the board voted, middle school music teacher Jim Swartzlander asked the board to give the East Noble community the best facility it could. Humane Society of Noble County treasurer Sue Walkup told trustees the society is looking at expanding its Sherman Street animal shelter and is prepared to work with the board so the expansion doesn’t affect a new school built on the Sherman Street school land just south of the shelter. Kendallville resident Diane Peachey expressed concern for the future of the old building if a new school is built on a different site. She reminded trustees of the impact on the community and neighborhood if the old school building were left to decay. Trustees explained their votes. “I don’t see putting money into renovating,” said Holliday. “The building is inefficient, and the exterior wall insulation is not up to par. Let’s look at a new building.” Beall agreed, pointing out he couldn’t imagine a more unsafe room than the one where they were meeting. “There’s no way out,” he said. Wicker originally said that before he voted, he wanted to see the building site. “Pouring money into this building is a mistake,” he said, referring to one part of the building where the floor sags at least 7 inches. “We’re not going to let it fall apart.” Babcock argued the meeting’s purpose was not to select a site, but to decide whether to renovate or build a new building. She said she favors a new building, and Wicker then voted for her motion. Addressing the impact on property taxes, Linson said the school corporation’s current debt will be paid off in 2019. The corporation’s debt with the new school would drop from approximately $5 million annually to approximately $3.25 million annually. Reported by Dennis Nartker KPC News Today's weather is supposed to be: 2/27/2014 Hi: 11° Areas of blowing and drifting snow in the morning. Snow showers likely in the morning...then chance of snow showers in the afternoon. Windy. Snow accumulations generally less than one half inch. Highs around 10. Northwest winds 20 to 30 mph decreasing to 10 to 20 mph in the afternoon. Gusts up to 30 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation 70 percent. Wind chills 5 below to 15 below zero.  Lo: -13° Very cold. Partly cloudy through midnight then clearing. Lows around 10 below. Northwest winds around 10 mph shifting to the southeast after midnight. Take care and be safe. Make sure your animals are safe as well!!! Shelly

Good Morning Ya'll, I hope you have a good day as it is the middle of the week now so we will be on the downside to the weekend. It is cold outside as the temperature sits at 6 degrres and the windchill is at 5 degrees at 6:29am. Make sure you bundle up as there is no school delays for our state area. There is snow covering your car windows which is about like yesterday morning with a dusting. We are under a wind chill advisory until 12pm today and that could change as well. Make sure you check on your pets that have to stay outside that they have a warm dry place to get too and that they have thawed water to drink and have food to eat. Or if possible bring them inside for a few hours to get warm throughout the day. Lets see what's going on in the news today. East Noble revises makeup day plans. The East Noble school district’s proposed, revised plan for making up snow days includes an e-learning day on Friday, March 28, the first day of spring break, to make up for classes canceled Feb. 18. The East Noble School Board of Trustees is scheduled to discuss the plan at tonight’s board meeting and may take action.
Students are required by state law to spend 180 days in the classrooms during the school year. To meet this requirement, East Noble officials are using a combination of snow makeup days built into the schedule, extending the school year, extending the length of school days for about five weeks, a state-granted waiver for two days and the e-learning day, according to the plan released Tuesday by East Noble Superintendent Ann Linson. East Noble has missed 14 days of school since Jan. 6. Details of the makeup plan: • East Noble has been granted a waiver for Jan. 6 and 7 by the Indiana Department of Education. Those days will not be made up. • Thursday and Friday, June 5 and 6, have been added to the school year. Graduation is now scheduled for Sunday, June 15. • May 9, 16 and 23 — already built into the school calendar as potential snow makeup days — will be used. Feb. 17 also was built in, and students attended classes on that day. • Good Friday, April 18, will be a school day. Students will be excused to attend religious events. • Beginning this week, one hour has been added to each school day through Thursday, March 27, to make up four snow days. • Collaboration time will be eliminated on March 17 and March 24 to make up one hour. • Secondary students (7-12) will complete five hours of e-learning on Friday, March 28, the first day of spring break scheduled for March 28-April 4. Eliminating collaboration on March 17 and 24, and adding the extra hour to school days from Feb. 24 to March 27 meets the hours required for five elementary school (K-6) days. For the e-learning day, students in grades 7-12 will work from home and receive assignments from teachers before March 28. Students will be given time to download documents, materials and assignments before leaving school March 27. This will assist students who do not have Internet access at home, Linson said. Teachers will host two office hours between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. on Friday, March 28, and be available to assist students. Contact will be made through Canvas and email. Teachers also will be asked to check their emails and assist students throughout the day. Students will be expected to work on their assignments during the e-learning day, but there is not always a structured window of time, Linson said. East Noble officials considered changing spring break, but decided it would cause hardship for many families and staff who have made financial investments in spring break activities. Another drawback would be the need for numerous classroom substitutes and the potential for a high rate of student absences. Reported by Dennis Nartker KPC News Also Kendallville begins filling potholes. City street department workers have begun filling in the many potholes in Kendallville’s streets caused by the freezing and thawing due to this winter's temperatures. To report a pothole, email the street department at pothole@kendallville-in.org. Reported by KPC News Today's weather is supposed to be:
2/26/2014 Hi: 10° Partly cloudy. Occasional flurries in the morning. Highs around 10. West winds 10 to 20 mph. Wind chills 5 below to 15 below zero.  Lo: 2° Very cold. Mostly clear through midnight...then mostly cloudy with a 40 percent chance of snow showers after midnight. Windy. Lows zero to 5 above. Southwest winds 15 to 20 mph becoming west 20 to 30 mph after midnight. Wind chills 5 below to 15 below zero. Take care and be safe. Shelly
