Crash claims 2 NM residents By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER – Two North Manchester residents were killed Friday morning, June 5, in a single-vehicle accident on Ind. 114, about a half-mile east of County Road 500 E. According to the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department’s police report, the preliminary investigation showed that a 2002 GMC driven by Genny A.

The Access plans school supply fundraiser By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com While the 2015 school year has just finished, officials at The Access Youth Center are already turning their sights toward the 2015-16 school year. More specifically, they are turning their attention toward fundraisers to help obtain back-to-school supplies for area youth. The AYC, located at 74 W. Canal St., will distribute backpacks with a variety of back-to-school supplies on July 30-31. However, between now and then, organizers are looking for funds to help purchase the items or community groups and individuals to donated the needed items. One fundraiser is planned Saturday, July 11, at Cannonball Lanes. The Pins for Pencils event will begin at 11 a.m. and continue throughout the day, AYC Director Liz Hobbs explained. “This is our second year to do that,” she said of the Pins for Pencils event. Rather than acting as a typical bowl-a-thon, participants don’t need to form teams or raise funds. Rather, Hobbs noted, participants can bowl as many games as they like throughout the day, at a cost of $3 per game (including shoe rental). Cannonball officials will donated $1 per game bowled to AYC, while Modoc’s Market plans to match the donation at $1 per game as well. Meanwhile, several area businesses and organizations have pledged to contribute $1 per pin for the high game. Last year, Hobbs noted, the high game was a 231, and two businesses each contributed $231 to AYC for the school supplies. So far this year, four businesses or organizations – Brodbeck (continued on page 17)

Following the processional, Salutatorian and Student Council President Claire Barnett offered the welcoming remarks. “It is a great honor to stand here before administrators, faculty, staff, families, friends, and most importantly my peers, on this landmark day – a day that marks an end and a beginning,” said Barnett. “After 13 long years, which now do not seem so long, as I stand here in this cap and this gown, here we finally are,” she continued. “Today, we graduate from Manchester JuniorSenior High School. Today, the Class of 2015 meets for our

final time. We have been nurtured and taught the fundamentals every step of the way leading us to this moment. I still do not know how our elementary, middle school, junior high, and high school teachers managed us at times, but they did, and they did so in a way that will forever impact our lives. For that, we thank you. “We are the class that has always challenged each other to grow in character. We are the class that is not afraid to step outside of the box, to start new traditions, and to show compassion towards others. We are the class that has competed to stand out academically, athletically, artistically, musically, technologically, agriculturally, in fashion, in mechanics, you name it, one of us can do it. Today, this class breaks off individually…but you better believe we are taking our tenacity with us.” Barnett went on to quote author and philosopher Ayn Rand, who once said, “All you have to do is look straight and

see the road, and when you see it, don’t sit looking at it – walk.” “As we separate, and begin each of our own walks, we will take the lessons we have learned here with us,” she concluded. “We will not sit back and wait for opportunity to come knocking. Instead, we will chase opportunity down, firmly shake his hand, and make the first move. We will not get stuck scrolling through other people’s lives on our phones, but we will go out and live ours. We have the tools, the talent, and the drive. Our potential is endless. And today we go.” Senior Kendra McKinley was next on stage, as she provided a rousing rendition of the song, “Your Heart Will Lead You Home.” Following her performance, fellow senior and Manchester FFA President Cole Mize took the stage to impart some wisdom on “The Arena of Life.” “If you have ever been to the (continued on page 22)

All-inclusive park back in City’s Stellar program By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

An all-inclusive park that was removed from the city’s Stellar Community Grant program in February is once again a part of the program. Mayor Robert Vanlandingham, in an interview with The Paper of Wabash County in mid-February, said the project was removed from the plans because none of the three agencies involved with the Stellar Grant – the Indiana Department of Transportation, the Office of Community and Rural Affairs and the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority – provide funding for such projects. However, during the Wabash Stellar Team’s quarterly meeting in late May, OCRA Representative Kathleen Weissenberger notified local officials the agency had an additional $200,000 in federal Community Development Block Grant funds to be applied toward the playground. “We are very excited to be able to use these funds for such a great community project and an integral part of Wabash’s overall Stellar Plan,” she said. Vanlandingham, told The Paper on June 1 that “to me it’s always been in our investment plan for Stellar, but Stellar chose not to finance it. It’s still all a part of Stellar, but not the financial part of it.” He said he was surprised when he learned of the additional funding, noting he too thought the agencies didn’t fund parks. OCRA Director Bill Konyha explained how the funding came about during an interview with The Paper on June 2. “You were right, that our (continued on page 20)

According to proba-

United Fund accepting funding applications By The Paper staff Wabash County United Fund is now accepting program funding applications for its 2015 Annual C a m p a i g n , announced Steve Johnson, executive director of the United Fund. Eligible agencies include 501(c)3 organizations serving Wabash County. Organizations interested in receiving a portion of this funding for specific programs must complete and submit an application and budget summary to United Fund by the end of

business on Friday, July 10. In order for programs to be considered for funding they must meet one or more of United Fund’s focus initiatives: — Income/Financial Stability: Promote community-chang e strategies to help families meet their basic needs, gain the financial capability to plan for, and accomplish, their long-term financial goals are the foundations of the initiative. — Health/Healthy Living: Encourage a

sense of well-being and promote healthy living while connecting community members to available physical and mental health support resources is the basis for this initiative. — Education: Address the education challenge by offering effective strategies and approaches to all income levels in order to reframe education and increase graduation rates in Wabash County. “Donations to the United Fund help support community nonprofits whose pro-

grams feed the hungry, provide medical care for those in need, and help educate young and old,” said Nate Fansher, president of the United Fund Board of Directors. “These programs help make Wabash County a great place to live, work and raise families,” he added. In order to qualify for this funding program, agencies must agree to maintain 501(c)3 status, must have a local volunteer board of directors that meets regularly, must keep accurate records that conform

with Standards of Account and Financial Reporting, and must submit monthly program reports of activity to the United Fund. Funding for selected agency programs will begin in January 2016.

Asbestos removal part of home demolition By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com It will cost the City of Wabash an additional $5,200 to demolish a home at 458 N. Allen St. The additional money will be used to remove asbestos shingles on the structure, which the board ordered to be demolished in April. The home was severely damaged by fire in October 2013. The owner, Eric Phillips, told the city he would like additional time to repair the structure. After securing the area damaged by fire, little to no work has been done to the structure. In April, the board accepted a $7,400 bid from Hank’s Construction to demolish the building. However, Phillips asked B u i l d i n g Commissioner John Stephens for a chance to plead to the Board of Works as to why he needed additional time to refurbish the home. Phillips was to appear at the May 20 board meeting, but failed to do so. The board then authorized Stephens to proceed with demolition plans. Board member Dee Byerly noted that the cost to raze the structure will cost more than the $12,600 the city will soon have invested in the project. The city will

have to pay tipping fees at the Wabash Valley Landfill to dispose of the rubble. “Then you’ve got another four or five grand on tip fees,” Byerly said. Stephens replied, “At least,” noting that the tipping fee is about half to twothirds of the demolition cost. Mayor Robert Va n l a n d i n g h a m asked Stephens if Phillips has had any additional contact with him. “I’ve never heard a thing,” the building commissioner said. “We’ve sent certified mail. We contacted

him for the last Board of Works meeting to come. “I wish he’d come. We’re mowing the lawn for him with the Street Department.” City Council member Bonnie Corn asked if the city could recoup any of

a lawsuit against Phillips. “A lot of times, these people aren’t very collectible,” he said, adding that such a suit will soon be filed against the former owners of the Hill Street apartment house, which was razed earlier this year.

the funds it is spending on the project. “We have a lien on the real estate,” City Attorney Doug Lehman said. “But as a practical matter, the lot, once you’ve demolished the building on it, the city lot is not worth a whole lot of money.” The city could file

Pageant to mark 25th anniversary By The Paper staff The Wabash County Festivals Scholarship Pageant is celebrating its 25th anniversary on Friday, June 26. Twenty-two of the former 24 Wabash Queens will gather at the Wabash Welcome Center for coffee followed by a tour of the City on board the Wabash Trolley. After the trolley tour, the former Queens will have lunch at the

Charley Creek Inn. During the Pageant, on Friday evening, the former Queens and their families will be introduced to the audience. Following the pageant, the former Queens along with all former and current contestants and the newly crowned royalty will be honored at a cake and punch reception in the Honeywell Center lobby. The Wabash County Festivals Pageant was born in

1991, under the name of Wabash Canal Days and has shared many titles through out the pageants history.: Wabash Canal Days, Electric Light City Fest, Wabash Strawberry Fest, and finally being named the Wabash County F e s t i v a l s S c h o l a r s h i p Pageant. The first pageant came about because the original directors, Beth Miller and Vicky Lucas attended the Indiana State Festivals Workshop

where they were introduced to the idea of a local pageants that would feed into the newly formed Indiana State Festivals Pageant. The very first Wabash queen was Melody Frank . During the 2nd

year of the pageant, the director’s job was handed to Chris Benson. During that year, Mary Ann Cosby Abrahamson won the local title and went on to win the Title of Miss Indiana State

Festivals Queen. She was the second title holder and the first from Wabash. As the years rolled by, Mary Ridgeway Williams joined Chris as a director. Under their tenure, Wendy Vanderpool Holsman was crowned the second Indiana State Festivals Queen from Wabash. In 2006, the director’s job again changed hands and the torch was passed to Bev Vanderpool , Beth Culver Winer and Michelle

Ward named ISO Volunteer of the Year Article provided

Judy Ward was named the Volunteer of the Year for the Wabash Unit of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra Association. Ward currently serves as the group’s vice president. During 2015 she served as contact coordinator for the county art teachers for the Symphony in Color project and recruited involvement of North

Manchester schools in the project, as well. She also led a committee that designed a new Symphony in Color sign for the annual Symphony in Color awards program, and wrote articles about the activities of the Wabash Unit for local newspapers. Ward was one of several ISOA members who performed musical numbers during the Honeywell House

Holiday Open House and again during the third grade tours of the Honeywell House in the spring. ISOA Wabash President Susan Beckett noted that Ward has worked tirelessly for the Wabash Unit, always being on of the first members to volunteer for any project and to promote membership in ISOA. She has a love of music, art and cultural enrichment for the children of Wabash

County. Among her other activities, she is coordinator and director of the Wabash Visual and Performing Arts Cooperative and the Foundation for Art and Music in Education (FAME) in Wabash. She is musical director of the Wabash Area Community Theatre (WACT) and the Wabash Community Madrigal dinners. She also is music director at the

Her work ethic and musical talents benefit everyone in Wabash County, Beckett said. Ward was honored at the annual luncheon and business meeting of the ISOA on June 3 at Meridian Hills Country Club in Indianapolis.

A t k i n s o n . Vanderpool and Winer remain as the current directors. Under their tutelage, three more Indiana State Festival Queens were crowned. Christy Penner won the title in 2006; Hannah Klare won in 2011; and Katelyn Eberly, 2014 Wabash County Festivals Queen also brought home the title last November. The directors estimate that in the 25 year history of the pageant, more than

600 girls have participated and Scholarship monies given away total over $100,000. In 1991 a $250 scholarship was awarded. Over the course of 25 years, scholarships monies of more than $5,000 a year have been awarded. Of course, this would not have happened without the support of many generous businesses and individuals throughout Wabash County, Vanderpool and Winer noted..

County joins Regional Development Authority with close vote By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash County joined the Northeast Indiana Regional D eve l o p m e n t Authority (RDA) after a close 4-3 for vote at the County Council meeting on May 26. The vote passed an ordinance to establish the RDA, which added Wabash County’s name to a list of 10 others also in favor of establishing the authority with the purpose to apply for the Indiana E c o n o m i c D eve l o p m e n t Corporation’s (IEDC) Regional Cities Initiative. The initiative, which can only be applied for by RDAs, is a public-private partnership led by Gov. Mike Pence and the IEDC with the goal to support quality of life transformation plans by allowing “regional cities,” or self-identified regions, to compete for an initial $42 million in matching funds in the state’s 2015-2017 biennium budget, according to a Northeast Indiana Regional partnership press release. The initiative’s main objective is to nationally raise the brand awareness of Indiana, according to John Sampson, RDA representative and president and CEO of the Northeast Indiana R e g i o n a l Partnership. “Our interest is (to involve Wabash County) two-fold,” Sampson said in an interview with The Paper of Wabash County. “One, we think it’s a great opportunity for the individual counties of the region to participate in the RDA. It’ll give them access to state-matching grants. If we’re a winning community, access to grants it wouldn’t otherwise have and these quality of place projects in these individual communities are very important to these communities and it’s very important to the region. “At the end of the day, if we can create a community where people want to be, we have a better chance of attracting talent, which is need by

these employers. So this is about their ability to have employers in the future. If we’re not creating that kind of a community, it’ll be difficult for us to keep up with the aging workforce.” However, the decision to join the authority group was not without disagreement, even before the council’s vote. Council members heard competing arguments from local resident Rob Pearson, representatives of the Northeast Indiana R e g i o n a l Partnership and the Wabash County E c o n o m i c Development Group (EDG) as well as individual supporters of the ordinance, including Mayor R o b e r t Vanlandingham. Pearson addressed concerns about establishing the RDA to the council, claiming that the group would be made to mostly benefit Fort Wayne, not Wabash. “What I’ve seen over the last 13 years is most of the attraction has been centered around the major metropolitan cities,” he said. “I think that’s why the state has come up with this approach that would allow them to do some funding for the regional cities to work with local economic development groups.” The counties immediately surrounding the larger cities may see some over with the projects undergone by the RDA, Pearson said. “The problem with that is Wabash County is two counties away,” he continued. Once the county joins the RDA, Pearson said, it will be required to fund Fort Wayne’s city projects with no benefit locally. The mayor said that he, too, shared the same concerns as Pearson, but still urged the council to consider passing the ordinance. “I kind of look at it this way. This is something differe n t , ” Va n l a n d i n g h a m said. “If something is going to happen in

Huntington, Wabash is going to benefit. Something happens in Peru, we’re going to benefit. “You won’t know until you try,” he continued. “I, for one, feel like if we’re going to grow, one of these days we’re going to have to be a part of something bigger or we’re going to get swallowed up.” However, according to Sampson, RDA members are no longer financially obligated to contribute to the group or required to take part in its projects. Additional benefits include other counties have the opportunity to financially support Wabash County’s quality of life projects and vice versa as well as the chance to accomplish new projects not covered by already existing grants, such as the Stellar Communities program, according to Sampson. The majority of the current RDA’s executive committee, which would determine which projects the RDA would fund, is from Allen County, Sampson told the council. While a new committee will be formed with nominated individuals from each of the 11 counties, councilman Claude Markstahler said he remains doubtful that, even, the new committee would allow for an election process to make the RDA’s project decisions. Nevertheless, Sampson said the RDA is too good of an opportunity for the county to pass up. “Life is full of opportunities and I just don’t think we as a region should pass on this opportunity,” Sampson told The Paper. “This is a great opportunity for us to participate. It’s a great leadership opportunity for us, and we need to be in

the game. “We’re not Indianapolis. If we’re not willing to commit to take some risk on projects like this, we’re going to get left behind. Our community’s too good; Wabash County is too good to get left behind. So for me, this is about us being in the game having the chance for these projects. It’s absolutely essential.” Prior to the final vote, Markstahler made the motion to put the decision to a roll-call vote and requested each councilman to state why he made his decision to pass the ordinance or deny its approval. Markstahler and councilmen Kyle Bowman and Matt Dillon denied the motion’s passing. “The reason being I have (to vote no) is I’m a little cynical about the economic development of a lot of the projects listed being parks, trails, that type of thing,” Bowman said. “If we’re trying to get younger people, like my friends, back to the county,” he continued, “what brings them back is jobs or family or schools, and I don’t feel that having a nice bike path is really going to do that or accomplish that, and that saving that money back we can work with our county economic development committee and pursue different options. … It comes down to jobs attracting people my age.” While Markstahler didn’t see many drawbacks from joining, he told the council he saw no reason to join. His main reasons for disapproval also mimicked Pearson’s concerns with the RDA. “I feel that we are not connected to Fort W a y n e , ” Markstahler told The Paper after the meeting. “As much as people want to say,

‘We’re a world community,’ and then they say we’re connected to Indianapolis or Paris, and we really aren’t. There’s very little commonality and whatever we do, as Rob said, I think is to the benefit of them, not the benefit of people here. And there’s no reason for use to send manpower up there if there’s no benefit here.” Vice Chairman Bill Ruppel summarized the thoughts of the council members, including Chairman Mike Ridenour, who chose to pass the ordinance. “There’s pluses and there’s minuses to what’s going on,” Ruppel said. “The biggest plus is looking at business. We need jobs in Wabash County. There have been jobs lost in this county because one of the biggest things is the choice of new businesses that they look for is the quality of life. They will give up a low work force or not having enough people there because the people they bring in they want quality of life. We have a great quality of life here in Wabash County. It can be improved. “The second plus is that we do not have to fund any of these (projects),” he continued. “We do not have to put the

money out there and it’s up to the council to make that decision, and by getting here we might get to help choose that person on the board. We might get someone from Wabash County to be one of those

directors. … There might be that one slim chance that we get something that would help Wabash County bring business here and I know we have to have jobs. So I’m going to vote yes.”

In 2009 the new facility was built and since then the Wabash County YMCA has been a leading nonprofit dedicated to strengthening our community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. It has helped thousands of community members through opportunities to improve health and lifestyle, by increasing literacy levels of youth, by creating the Wabash County Promise to ensure a brighter future through College Savings, and by becoming a hub for community activity and resources.

Nationwide, the Y helps over nine million youth to hop gaps in hunger, health, learning, water safety and safe spaces while providing a place to stay healthy, build friendships, and achieve more – all while having fun! Each program demonstrates the Y’s unwavering commitment to ensuring children are on track for a successful education, especially those in underserved communities.

Norma Trump and Eileen Dye chose it to be performed as a piano duet, which was arranged by J.Louis Merkur. Another duet by Coppler and Howes incorporated coppler’s guitar with the penny whistle.

The Access plans school supply fundraiser... continued from the front page Seeds, Wabash Elks Lodge No.471, Eads and Son Bulldozing and Dawes and Pugh CPA, have signed on for sponsorships. Hobbs said it would be great to have as many as 10 sponsors for the high score event. “This is really only the main fundraiser we do for the community school supply giveaway,” she said, noting that a silent auction also is planned. “Obviously we have a lot of people who donate in some way, shape or form, whether it’s monetarily or with specific supplies.” Last year the bowling event raised about $1,500, or about half of the amount AYC needed for supplies. “It would be great to make $3,000 on Pins for Pencils,” Hobbs said. “We’re really on a good track to do that.” Supplies provided in backpacks depend somewhat on grade level, project chair Laura Helm said. “The thing that we put in for elementary, and pre-K and kindergarten kids is a little different then what the high school kids would

get,” she said. “We try to use blunt-edge scissors for the little kids, and elementary kids need regular scissors. Usually high school kids don’t need crayons, so we try to vary that way. “We’re unable to take the school supply list and duplicate it completely because there are a lot of specialty things. It is almost an impossibility to say, ‘My child goes to this elementary, so that’s the one I need.’ We do basic supplies – notebooks, paper, pens, rulers. We try to put headphones in each one because almost all the schools what their kids to have headphones because of the computers.” Markers, colored pencils, glue sticks, scissors and notebooks are among the items needed, Hobbs said. “Even though we’re not able to fulfill the complete entire list, last year we received incredible feedback from parents who were excited that we were able to give them a good start,” she continued. “Those lists can be kind of daunting. I know it’s all needed, but if you look at it in a

chunk, it’s a lot. If we can break that down even a little bit, if we can provide seven, eight, 10 things from the list, that’s helpful.” It’s especially helpful, Hobbs and Helm noted, for families with multiple children. “I remember last year we had a gentleman who came in, and I think there were six kids in that family, and he was just so grateful for the start we were able to give them,” Hobbs said. The giveaway is available to anyone, while supplies last. “If someone comes in and says they need a backpack, they’ll get it,” Hobbs said. “Parents do not have to accompany a child to get a backpack, and vice versa, the child doesn’t have to be with the parent. “The only thing we ask them to do when they come in is to give the kid’s name, their school and grade. The only reason for that is we look at that from the previous year to help us decide if we’ll need more middle school backpacks the next year, or what.” Now in its third year,

the school supply program offered supplies to 412 youngsters. Organizers had to order backpacks because enough weren’t donated, and some of those were left for distribution this year. “The ones that we have to buy in bulk obviously are not as high of quality,” Helm said. “So they ripped within the first month. It’s kind of nice to have a back-up in case a kid comes in and says, ‘My backpack ripped,’ until we can find one of a higher quality.” The backpacks, she said, are the items they need most to be donated. “They don’t have to be the $50 backpacks, but they shouldn’t be the $2 backpacks,” Helm said. Used backpacks that are in decent shape will be accepted. However, she noted, they will likely be used as replacement backpacks, should something happen to a student’s first backpack. “It’s our desire to give every kid a new backpack for the start of school,” Helm said. “Every kid wants a new backpack for the start of school. So we want to do

that as much as possible.” Any business or organization interested in serving as a high pin contributor, or anyone interested in donating school supplies should

contact Hobbs at aycwabash@gmail.com or call the AYC at 260563-2070. Volunteers also will be needed from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 27-28 to pack the backpacks.

Likewise, volunteers also are needed at 6 p.m. July 30 and 10 a.m. July 31 for help distribute the backpacks. The distribution will be at the AYC.

Local gospel group hopes to record CD By Adam B. Smith news@thepaperofwabash.com For the Lane’s, gospel is a family

# "

business. The Lane Family, a gospel group from Wabash, is seeking sponsorship to record its first CD. The group is made up

' %

almost entirely of family members, though only two members still share the Lane family name. Bonnie Lane, a

vocalist in the group, said The Lane Family’s formation came after performing in a long stretch of gospel groups. In about 1983, Bonnie Lane and her husband, Roy Lane, along with his sisters, brother and uncle, formed a group called the Lifeline Singers. After about five years together, Bonnie and Roy Lane moved on. The couple brought in their daughter, Terri Hunt, Bonnie Lane’s cousin Gary Brown and family friend Christian Craig to form a new group called Service Heart. About a year ago, Bonnie Lane said she felt compelled to get a group together again. When she talked to

her daughters about the idea, she said they felt the same way. “I just felt like God put it in our heart one day to get together and just call ourselves The Lane Family because that’s who we are,” she said. The new group is like a growth of the family’s old group Service Heart. Bonnie and Roy Lane’s daughter, Deena Simpson, Terri Hunt’s husband, Mark Hunt, and Gary Brown’s wife, Catie Brown, joined the rest of the family to complete the group. The Lane Family currently travels around the Midwest on freewill donations, Gary Brown said. “A lot of churches just can’t afford a big

gospel group,” he said. “We travelled to Kentucky once for $28, and it cost well over $300 for the trip. The Lord always supplied, and we made it.” Deena Simpson said she believes God will continue to make a way for the group to spread the message they were called to spread: “to introduce Jesus to the ones who may be searching.” Gospel allows The Lane Family to reach people that are typically unwilling to go to a Sunday service, Gary Brown said. “Some people are out there who won’t go out to hear preaching, but they’ll go hear some gospel music,” he said. “So we’re out to win those

that are lost.” Recording and selling a CD is one way the group hopes to support their travels while still performing strictly for freewill donations, Gary Brown said. Bonnie Lane said she would like to see The Lane Family get more involved in the Wabash community, whether it’s by putting on fundraisers, singing in nursing homes or performing on the streets. “This is my hometown,” she said. “I happen to love Wabash. I would just like to get out more. Do more. Take what we’ve got, our talent, and take it out there to the ones who can’t come to us.”

Foundation program manager. “The drive-in seems to be a whole different audience than the guests that come to Eagles Theatre and they seem to be really passionate about the drive-in property,” Zwiebel said in an interview with The Paper of Wabash County. “We thought that the natural way to pay tribute to the drive-in model was to do some throwback movies.” The film series began June 4 with “Grease.” Other movies in the line-up are: —June 11 – “E.T. the Extra Terrestrial” —June 18 – “Top Gun” —June 25 – “Dirty

Dancing” Zwiebel said that this year’s series is the test pilot for next year’s possible series expansion. Season passes for $40 are now available for purchase. The pass applies to one single admission for guests ages 12 and older, and can be used unlimitedly on Friday and Saturday nights throughout the 2015 season. The 13-24 Drive In gate will open at 8 p.m. Movies will begin at dusk. Passes can be purchase at the drive-in during normal operating hours, online at 1324drivein.com or by contacting the Honeywell Center Box Office at 260-5631102.

Lady Squires tourney run ends By Gary Andrews The youthful Manchester Lady Squires softball team traveled to Newton Park in Lakeville Saturday to play in their first ever semi state, falling to No.9 Elwood, 6-0, to end their post-season run. The Squires threatened in the top of the first when Brooklyn Howard drew a one out walk and stole second before Celina Carter sacrificed her to third. The Squires failed to score, but got out of a jam themselves in the bottom of the inning. The Squires were held hitless the first four innings and gave up two runs in the fourth to trail 2-0 when the Elwood no hitter was broke up by a two out Mattie McKee single in the top of the fifth. Kierra Stacy was then robbed by a leaping catch by the second baseman to end the inning. Elwood would plate 4 runs in the bottom of the inning for a 6-0 lead. The last Manchester hit came in the seventh which was a Celina Carter single as the Squire post season run came to an end.

Manchester High School graduates 97 seniors ... continued from the front page county fair, you may have noticed the arena and the cattle competing in the show ring,” Mize

said. “You may have seen this aluminum pole that each showman has in his or her hand. This is referred

to as a show stick, and it can be used in several different ways. Its main purposes are to set up the animal

and to scratch its belly to keep it calm. Occasionally, a showman will use it to tap the calf on the nose in order to get its attention.” Mize went on to say he had started to realize that the show stick isn’t just for the show ring, but rather that its purpose could be applied to nearly anything in life, and that everyone has to find their own model to help them succeed in life. He then related his use of the show stick to set up an animal in the show ring to the graduates taking a variety of classes and participating in a diverse set of activities in order to set up their lives. Furthermore, he described how using the show stick to scratch the belly of an animal to keep it calm was similar to the graduates’ life journeys. “We will work hard, make sacrifices, push ourselves to our personal limits, and finally, we will get to a place where we can relax and enjoy the life we have created,” he

added. “As we now go out into the real world, we are not going to have our parents or guardians to watch over us,” Mize continued. “We will need to discipline ourselves and make sure that we act as mature young adults. Whatever area our lives are drawn towards, we all hope to place first with our future choices. That will require much work on our part, but the rewards are well worth our effort. “The show stick is used in many ways in the show ring. I hope you can see the valuable lessons we can learn from this thin piece of aluminum, and apply them to your own lives. Push yourself, set yourself up for success, keep yourself disciplined, and then, finally, relax and enjoy the moment. Good luck in the arenas of your own lives.” Choral Director Marilyn Sexton Mason then led the Concert Choir and Senior Ensemble in performing “Orinoco Flow,” followed by the keynote speech, “A Self Portrait,” by Class of 2015 Valedictorian Celina Carter. “In my eyes, graduating is a piece of art,” Carter explained. “I look into the crowd and I see a sea of red and black gowns. The red and black colors make me feel pride for my school; they

symbolize the celebrating of our commencement, and solidify the realization that we are moving on to a greater future. It means that we have made it, that we have not done all of this for nothing, that we, the Class of 2015, are moving on to better things. “Being here today sends the message that hard work and dedication really do pay off. We are the artists of this beautiful moment. We have painted our picture and today we are able to showcase our work. Next in our lives we are going to create more opportunities; whether that be obtaining a job, going to college, or picking another color off the palate – our options are limitless. It is like choosing between using colored pencils and watercolor paint. The choice may be hard, but either can initiate a breathtaking piece of art. Although this one piece of our lives is over, we have much more to look forward to.” Carter went on to describe how she and her classmates began their freshman year as blank canvases. “Sometimes, looking at a page of nothing can be overwhelming, but we have picked our mediums and we have made the best of our four years,” she added. “What I find interesting about this class,” Carter con-

cluded, “is that we are mixed media. We do not conform ourselves to coloring inside the lines. I look into the crowd and I see people who want to be in business but who are heavily interested in the arts. I see people who want jobs in the medical field but who can play an instrument exceptionally well. What I am saying is that we are not purest, but have instead pushed our selves outside our boundaries. We have completed this part of our self-portrait and are on to a new canvas. Our first sketch may have looked different than it does now, but today we are able to take pride in our work. Congratulation Class of 2015, this masterpiece is finished.” U l t i m a t e l y, Principal Nancy Alspaugh presented the Class of 2015, which was accepted by MCS School Board President Steve Flack. School board members then presented the graduates with their diplomas, followed by the closing remarks from Senior Class President Thad Miller. “This journey, a 13year adventure, has finally come to a bittersweet end,” Miller said. “It hurts to see our friends leave our sides, but the excitement for our next step in life keeps us going toward the future. With that in mind, let’s take that step!”

On April 19, the Indiana State Police (ISP) released a statement alerting Indiana residents about the scam making the rounds through Indiana again. “We’ve been telling everybody that the IRS will not call you,” Benson said in an interview with The Paper of Wabash County. “The IRS will mail you important information. Do not ever give any personal information over the

phone.” Benson said that, thankfully, all of the reports received have been from residents who wanted the department to be aware of the scam in the area, but none reported to have been scammed. LaFontaine resident Loretta Kinley was one citizen contacted by the scammers. Although she did not fall for it, Kinley reached out to The Paper to share her story in attempt to warn other residents of the scam and what it would sound like, she said. “There’s not much to it because I didn’t call the number,” Kinley said in an interview. “But one night, I got a voicemail and it was a woman and she said, ‘Attention. You are being sued by the IRS,’ The next day I got a

phone call from a man.” The man sounded foreign and was very demanding, she recalled. “He said, ‘You’re being sued by the IRS for $1,485 and I want to represent you in court. Hang up right away and call this number,’” Kinley said. “Well, I didn’t do what he wanted and so he got very upset and said, ‘You don’t understand. From 2008-2012, you improperly filed your taxes.’” Kinley said she immediately knew it was a scam because she and her husband always filed her taxes together. “It was also very strange that he wanted me to hang up and call this number to call him back when I was already on the phone with him,” Kinley said.

“There are a lot of people who might fall for this because he sounds so urgent.” At one point during the phone call, the man became very angry with Kinley. “He said, ‘I don’t want to talk to you. You sound like an angry person. I want to talk to your husband,’” she said. “Well I tried to tell him that my husband is hard of hearing so I wouldn’t give him the phone, but the man just became more upset. He just kept demanding I call the number.” According to the ISP, the recent scam involved the number 347-389-0029, but citizens should keep in mind that the phone numbers will change frequently. For example, Kinley reported that she was given the number 202-740-3234 extension 105. “Do not ever call this number,” Kinley said. “I’m not sure how it works, but I know that you can be at risk to lose personal information or money just by calling it.” When receiving an unsolicited call that have the common factors of being threatening and demanding money, 99.9 percent of the time it is a scam, according to the ISP press release. “Just hang up. They won’t call back,” the ISP wrote. “They will just move on to the next number looking for someone to victimize.”

STOCKDALE MILL NEWS: Some adults are into antiques. Some like to play with big toys. Still others delve into history. Volunteers at the Stockdale Mill enjoy all three together. The water-powered mill is a really large antique toy filled to the brink with local history. Adding a river and a dam to this provides one with a great place for passing the day. If you could make yourself free one day a month, you could join the fun. Everyone from the surrounding area can be a friend of the Stockdale Mill. Perhaps you could write news articles or run a weed-whacker. Maybe you could help sweep or assist with

ongoing restoration. Planting flower bulbs, mowing, repairing window panes, grinding cornmeal, and keeping the water flowing at the mill race are all activities that need a pair of hands. The mill is also in need of some friends who are willing to be tour guides to show visitors around. Visitors of all ages come from all 50 states. Guides get to watch people’s amazement when the four floors of equipment begin to shake and rumble as the water turbines bring the mill to life. They have training for new guides and provide a prepared fact book to follow. The Stockdale Mill Foundation is a nonprofit organization. The sole purpose is to preserve the unique setting that epitomizes a by-gone era. There is no paid staff. There is no exclusive group. The only requirement is a caring attitude and willingness to pitch-in. Enjoying playing with a big antique doesn’t hurt either.

Wabash firefighter forfeits 30-days of pay By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash Fire Department firefighter and paramedic Scott Reese will return to the line of duty, but forfeit 30days of pay after a special Board of Public Works and Safety ruling on Friday, June 5. The forfeiture came as a punishment response to an incident in December 2014 when Reese was arrested for operating a personal vehicle while intoxicated, according to Wabash City Attorney Doug Lehman. Although Fire Chief Bob Mullett sought to take disciplinary action in January, Lehman said that Reese requested to be placed on administrative leave without pay at that time until the charges could be resolved via the legal system. “I’ll say that Scott’s taken responsibility for this from the very beginning and hasn’t tried to blame anybody else,” Mullett told the board. “It’s a huge mistake but he’s done as well as he’s possibly could with the situation.” The charges were resolved in late May when Reese plead guilty and was placed on probation. On June 3, Reese

spoke with the board at an executive session during which Mullett proposed a course of action agreement that would allow the board to avoid going through the process of a hearing, according to Lehman. “The agreement provides that (Reese) would return to duty, that he would voluntarily take a 30-day forfeiture of pay,” Lehman said, “and at the conclusion of working 30-days with a forfeiture of pay, he would be discharged, but that board would suspend the discharge for a period of one year on the condition that he not be arrested upon probable cause for violating any federal or state law. “And upon a second that the city not be informed by its insurance carrier that any of these actions would cause the insurance carrier to pull insurance coverage on firefighter Reese for driving a city vehicle.” Reese thanked the board for its time and said he was well aware that if he were to violate any law that his duty as a fireman and paramedic would be terminated. “I’m willing to do whatever I have to be able to return to duty,” Reese said. The board approved

the recommendation, 2-1, with member Greg Metz voting against it. “The only thing that I would have to say is I considered this because his prior experience is what he brings to the table and knowing that this was his first offense,” said committee member Dee Byerly. “I think by the terms of that agreement, he’s going to have to walk a pretty straight line because any moving violation or anything is going to trigger that.” However, before the board made its final decision, Mayor R o b e r t Vanlandingham said he wanted to remind Reese that he is a fireman, paramedic, and safety officer. “I know on your duty that you have to be out on the highway and you witness things that are results of what you just did,” Vanlandingham said to Reese. “I don’t know of any better lesson to learn than that. I’d like to also say that I probably agree with Dee and, hopefully, we won’t be doing this again because I can almost guarantee you that I will not look favorably on you a second time.” Metz declined to comment on why he voted against the measure.

Two Wabash Valley Shuri-Ryu Karate Academy students were black belted on May 15, an honor bestowed upon them by Sensei Mike Castro (center). Rob Barton (left) and Tommy Music (right) traded in their brown belts when Castro decided that they had earned to move up in rank, according to Music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an honor to be promoted to black belt,â&#x20AC;? Music said in an interview with The Paper of Wabash County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I cried. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seven years coming. Almost seven years that Mr. Barton and I have been coming down (to the dojo) anywhere from five to six days a week, one to two hours at a time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long road to now and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an honor.â&#x20AC;? Photo provided
