Crash victim dies Education bill dominates legislative forum from injuries By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

By The Paper staff A local man critically injured in a one-vehicle accident on Jan. 20 has passed away. The man, Derek Perkins, 27, LaFontaine, died Friday morning at Lutheran Hospital, Fort Wayne. The accident took place on County Road 550 N, east of CR 700 W. A preliminary investigation by the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department shows that a 2000 GMC van driven by Robert O. Lynn, 48, Roann, was westbound on CR 550 N when he lost control on an ice covered road. The vehicle left the road, struck a tree on the south side of the road and came to rest on its side. Perkins was airlifted from the scene to Lutheran Hospital with severe head trauma. Among his survivors is his fiance, Brenda Miller, and his 2-month-old daughter, Sofia. A memorial service is scheduled for 1:30 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 7, at the Wabash Elks Lodge No.471, 225 W. Main St., Wabash. On Feb. 20, the Elks will host a fundraiser to benefit Perkins’ family. A spaghetti dinner will take place from 6-8 p.m., and Dave Smith of Smitty Entertainment will provide music at 8 p.m. Raffles and auctions also are planned throughout the event.

Manchester man faces molesting charges By The Paper staff A North Manchester man was a r r e s t e d We d n e s d ay night, Jan. 28, on three counts of child molestation. According to the Indiana State Police, the man, Kestrel Falcon Kest r el Fal co n Little III, was l it t l e iii incarcerated in the Wabash County Jail. The arrest stems from a criminal investigation by Indiana State Police Detective Josh Maller. According to an ISP press release, Maller started an investigation after receiving information from the Wabash County Division of the Indiana Department of Child Services that a Wabash County girl had possibly been molested. Maller’s investigation revealed that Little had allegedly committed sexual acts with a 13-year-old Wabash County girl from in November and December 2014.

Senate Bill 1 dominated the conversations on Saturday Jan. 31 during the Third House Legislative Forum at the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce. The bill, State Sen. Amanda Banks explained to the more than 30 people present, “seeks to fix the impasse with the State Board of Education.” “Superintendent (Glenda) Ritz obviously has some disagreements with the governor,” Sen. Banks continued. “Senate Bill 1 would seek to change the board of education to include the state superintendent, eight members appointed by the governor, one appointed by the Senate Pro Temp and one by the Speaker of the House. “Currently, it includes the superintendent and one member appointed by the governor. However, this would change the way the chair of the board is selected. Currently, it’s the superintendent. This bill would allow the board to elect its chair. So, that would really change the dynamics of the board.” The bill was to be heard by the Senate Rules Committee on Monday. Constituents didn’t greet the proposed change favorably. “I will refrain my sharing my opinion on Superintendent Ritz, but the bill

Huntington U students on mission in Paris after shootings Wabash resident among students involved with trip By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com A group of 12 Huntington University students, including a Wabash County resident, flew to Paris for a pre-planned mission trip and arrived in the midst of the manhunt for the Charlie Hebdo shooters. On the morning of Jan. 7, two masked gunmen attacked and killed 11 journalists at Charlie Hebdo, a French satirical weekly newspaper known for publishing antireligious articles. The gunmen later identified as Chérif and Saïd Kouachi, belonged to the Yemen based Al-Qaeda branch and launched a surprise attack after the newspaper had re-published the Jyllands-Posten cartoons of the prophet Muhammad. The mission group was due to arrive an hour after the shootings occurred, but were postponed in Indianapolis International Airport as a result of poor weather. Wabash resident and HU junior Lauren Frischman said the group felt so lucky that they were still in the states when the attack occurred because they could relieve friends and family of worry by telling them they weren’t even in Europe yet. Senior Caitlin Trainer collaborated with Envision, a Christian Missionary Alliance organization, to plan the mission trip. After the shootings, the stu(continued on page 5)

2 YMCA and Parkview Wabash Hospital team up to teach students how to swim www.thepaperofwabash.com

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com For third graders at OJ Neighbours Elementary School, gym class is a little different this month. Instead of changing their shoes and heading to the gymnasi-

um, they grab a swimsuit and get on a bus; they’re going to the YMCA to learn how to swim. “The kids are having a blast with this. They look forward to coming, and it’s a great opportunity for them to learn by

doing,” said YMCA Aquatics Director Dave Ringler. “This program has been going on now for at least two or three years.” In past years, students from S o u t h w o o d Elementary, Sharp Creek Elementary, and WC Mills Elementary had a chance to learn water safety and swimming skills at the YMCA for four weeks in place of gym class. More than 450 students in grades 3-5 participated. Following the closure of WC Mills and the restructuring of Wabash City Schools, OJ Neighbours students got their first chance to go to the pool this year. “There was a swim program that was offered through the

YMCA through a grant, and so absolutely, we wanted to take advantage of that program for the students,” said Physcial Education Teacher Patty Meagher. “It’s been a great program. “It came about through discussions with the Y and how we could work together and more closely on some things,” said Marilyn CusterMitchell, president and CEO of Parkview Wabash Hospital, which provides the grant. “We’re in the business of healthcare, and we want to do more with preventative care and health and wellbeing in the community, versus just treating people when they’re sick, and so in general discussions with them, that came up as an opportunity, and we thought it was a great opportunity. It’s a great thing to make sure that kids know how to swim, so that there are fewer accidents and issues related to water, pools and lakes.” Shortly after arriving at school, students grab their swimsuits and head to the bus, arriving at the YMCA around 9 a.m. After some quick instructions from Ringler, students change clothes and anxiously await the chance to jump in and begin one of three stations. On Jan. 22-23, students learned basic floating and survival strokes in one station, practiced saving each other with floatation devices in the second, and learned about proper use of life jackets in the third. Each station is organized by one of the YMCA’s swimming instructors, and a lifeguard oversees pool safety during the class. “The first group that went was the fourth graders. We did that at the end of the first semester, so I was talking to the third graders about what the fourth graders had been doing, so they got really super excited about coming,” said Meagher. “They talked about it for a couple months.” This year, Ringler hopes to work with as many as 650 students from around the county.

YMCA and Parkview Wabash Hospital team up to teach students how to swim... continued from page 2 “Our goal is to teach water safety lessons to all of our resident third, fourth, and fifth graders,” said Ringler. “We’re in a position where we can grow a little bit, and were looking to expand our reach to some other area schools as well.” Taking a field trip for gym class is a bit unorthodox, but teachers and administrators felt that water safety classes were an important opportunity for students, even though it takes some extra time to travel to and from the YMCA. “Some of these kids

may not have that opportunity to pick that up, because they may not have an opportunity to come to the Y or to the Honeywell Pool, so they need to learn these safety skills, swimming skills, and survival skills,” said Meagher. “I would say with most third graders, this is introductory level swim skills. We are definitely teaching age appropriate skills, so third graders are working on floating, treading, and survival skills. Fourth graders are working more on

stroke refinement. They’re also introduced to boat safety in fourth grade, and then with our fifth graders, we emphasize safety skills, but we also do a lot of sports related conditioning with them,” said Ringler. With the program set up for three consecutive grade levels, students have the opportunity to learn and develop new swimming and safety techniques as they get older. “We see a big improvement from third grade to fourth grade,” said Ringler.

“When children are 8, 9 and 10, that’s a great age to start learning to swim, so we do see a lot of great progress.” “And the neat thing is, I’ve been told that there are funds available for next year, so I’ve already been talking to the second graders,” said Meagher. “I’ll say, ‘We just came back from the Y, and when you get to be third graders, you’ll get to go to the Y.’” Custer-Mitchell confirmed that Parkview Wabash Hospital plans to continue supporting the program for many

Vail joins CVB staff By The Paper staff

Darcy Vail has joined the Wabash County Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) team as T o u r i s m Administrative Assistant. Vail brings six years of accounting experience and 12 years of extensive retail and merchandising expertise to the organization. “The amount of impact we are committed to generating within this organization paired with the increased programs we offer has required us to expand our team,” said Jennifer Long-Dillon, tourism coordinator for Visit Wabash County. Vail is a 1994 graduate of Southwood High School and has a Human Services degree from Ivy Tech University, along with a hospitality and culinary fellowship from Vincennes University and a license in massage therapy. She is married to Justin Vail, Technology Director for Wabash City Schools and lives in Wabash with her two daughters, Isabella and Zoe. I grew up in Somerset and have always had an appreciation for the rural beauty that Wabash County has to offer,” she said. “Over the last few years I have watched Wabash transform and I am really excited to be a part of the direction the community is headed. “I am amazed by the tremendous amount of programs that are accomplished and influenced by the tourism staff.” Of the numerous tasks and projects that

Vail will take on while working for Visit Wabash County, one of the most interesting revolves around the Indiana Bicentennial Celebration slated for 2016. This includes a torch relay that will involve all 92 counties. “We are always looking for ways to develop and expand the visitor’s experience without forgetting to serve the residents of Wabash County,” said Christine Flohr, executive director of tourism. “Growing our programming is vital to growing tourism and the addition of Darcy has enabled Jennifer and me to focus on the new

years to come. “Absolutely, yes!” she said. “It comes straight from the hospital. We felt it was a good way to use some money for community support and community health and wellbeing.” Students love the opportunity to swim during the school’s only off-campus PE program. For some students, the class reinforces the skills they have already learned. For others, it’s their first exposure to swimming, particularly in the deep end of the pool. “I’m going to say about half to threequarters have pretty good swimming skills already,” Meagher said about her third grade class on their second day in the water. “There’s just that small group that is not quite sure.”

Meagher and Ringler agree that the hesitation usually doesn’t last long. “It’s amazing,” said Meagher. “Once they’ve learned some skills, they’re like, ‘I did it,‘ and they’re so proud of themselves.” In addition to learning skills in the water, the program aims to build students’ confi-

Wabash County school corporations face snow days head on By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

“Free Estimates”

Just Call

In early January, inclement weather caused Wabash County schools to classes for a few days. While Wabash City Schools missed two

days, the Metropolitan School District and M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools missed three days at the start of the new semester. MCS Superintendent Dr. Bill Reichhart said from a safety stand-

point, snow days are a good thing because they keep children safe from accidents caused by bad weather. “On the other hand, it causes us to make up those days if we can’t come in,” he said. “Any time you miss school there are challenges. We are accountable for meeting the state’s standards in our classrooms. It’s important to get as many educational days in as possible before our students take the standardized tests.” Last year, inclement weather forced MCS to make a decision to make up lost days. The choices were extend the school year and push back graduation, extend the school day by adding on extra hours, or have school on Saturday. Reichhart said his community of parents and teachers opted for the Saturday school. Moving graduation causes prearranged family plans to be canceled and students are exhausted at the end of the

extended hours, he said. “When you have Saturday school, you don’t have to worry about adding six hours onto the end of the days.” As of now, if MCS observes any more snow days, Reichhart said the corporation will add on days to the end of the school year before considering moving graduation or Saturday school. MCS will make up missed days on Feb. 16, March 20, and May 8. Students at Wabash High School face a different set of problems if classes are canceled. Through the College Campus Experience, 14 Wabash High School students take IPFW on-campus morning courses several days of the week. Beginning in fall 2015, classes at Indiana University-Kokomo will also be available. However, since colleges tend to stay open despite bad weather while high schools are more inclined to shut down, potentially, inclement weather

could set back this group of students in their college courses. High School Principal Josh Blossom wrote in an email that with respect to delays and closings, the students who travel to IPFW for classes receive special consideration. “We will take them to IPFW regardless of a delay or closing of WHS,” he wrote. “Cold and wind chill is not a concern, generally. All the IPFW students have transportation to WHS and ride an activity bus to IPFW so their exposure [to the weather] is limited.” The principal continued that highway conditions are checked when weather is snowy or icy, and if conditions permit, students are still taken to IPFW from the high school. “Highway 24 and I-69 are the primary roads and both are plowed and treated early in the event of inclement weather. That’s very fortunate for us. To date, our students have no missed any classes at IPFW due to weather.” In regards to the school corporation’s missed days, Wabash City Schools will makeup its two weather closings Feb. 2 and 16. Compared to Manchester and Wabash, MSD of Wabash County schools are encouraged to respond digitally when winter weather takes a bad turn. In 2013, the Indiana Department of Education offered MSD the opportunity to participate in an eLearning Flex Pilot Program. During the 2013-2014 school year, the corporation was one of six chosen to test the program. As a part of the program, MSD incorporates two eLearning days per semester. Last year, the school corporation lost many school days due to snow. “We had successfully piloted the program, and then we were out for several days because of bad weather,” said MSD Superintendent Dr. Sandra Weaver. “As a result, the Indiana Department of Education asked if (continued on page 7)

Education bill dominates legislative forum... continued from the front page Rep. Dave Wolkins told the crowd that he doesn’t believe people who voted for Ritz supported her. “Superintendent Ritz did get an awful lot of votes,” he said. “But my impressions of what happened is people didn’t vote for Ritz, they voted against (former superintendent) Tony Bennett. Up in my

area around Warsaw, they don’t have a clue as to who the superintendent is. They just know they were going to vote against that nasty guy Bennett.” Had Ritz not won, Wolkins continued, the office would not be an appointed post. “For eight years we’ve been headed in the direction that the Superintendent of

Public Instruction ought to be on the same page as the governor,” he said. “If you don’t like either one of them, then you throw them both out. You don’t do it now because it would be terribly heavy handed.” Southwood High School Principal Tim Drake asked both Wolkins and Banks

what lessons could be learned from Bennett’s defeat. “Tony Bennett had no public relations skills what-so-ever,” Wolkins said. “He was a bull in a china shop. If he wanted to do something, he just did it. He didn’t get any input, he just did it.” Drake said he believed Bennett was defeated “because of

policies” including extra testing and attacks on teachers. “Unfortunately, I think we’re losing that message, because it’s becoming political,” he said. “We’re adding more testing. … It’s interesting that we’re talking about the funding and how tight it is, yet we’re adding more testing.” Other topics dis-

dents contacted Envision and Trinity International, a collaborating Paris church, to ask how the mission should proceed. “They felt like there was not any reason for us to cancel the trip,” Frischman said. “There weren’t any travel warnings, and it was still safe to come. So we still went and the city was normal.” When the several American media outlets caught wind of the mission trip’s presence, there was an “over-reaction” from America, according to Frischman. “Obviously, it was a very tragic event,” she said. “But when you look at the facts, it was a very targeted attack toward a specific magazine company. We didn’t feel like it was an attack against the government, city, or country. “There was greater concern before they caught the shooters, which was the day

after we arrived, but we weren’t even worried that much about that. We felt safe the entire time.” According to a CNN news report, at least 3.7 million people took to the streets of Paris on Jan. 11 to march in anti-terrorism rallies. However, Frischman, Trainer, and the rest of the mission group did not join them. “It was interesting to see us walking against the grain of all the people walking to the protest,” Frischman said. “I found our different approaches to be an interesting contrast. We said that we were going to church to pray about it and giving the whole situation to God versus they’re going to protest and march about it.” Due to safety concerns, the group was encouraged to stay away from the rallies. However, Frischman said her group didn’t have that much desire to attend any because

Grief support group to meet By The Paper staff Wa b a s h - M i a m i Home Health Care & Hospice will provide a free grief support group from 3:30 to 5 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 16. The meeting will be in the conference room next to the cafeteria at Parkview Wabash Hospital. The meeting usually lasts about 90 minutes. The first part is for education with the remainder set aside as a time for sharing. The support groups are intended to help family members deal with their grief surrounding the loss of a loved one.

Ed Ensley, social worker, and Herb Hughs, Hospice chaplain, will lead the groups. For more information, please call Gail Williams at 569-2290 or 800-3462110, ext. 2290.

completing the mission trip’s purpose was a more pressing need. The mission’s goal was to build relationships and spread the word of the gospel throughout the community. Through prayer walks, language exchanges at a local community center, and distributing food for the homeless, Frischman’s mission group “spread the seeds” of Christianity and, hopefully, sparked interest in God in the process, she said. “The missionary talked about the importance of plant seeds and what that looks like. It’s not one seed. It needs to be planted over and over again. You need to constantly love people, because that is an example of God’s love for us,” Frischman said. “Even a place like Paris can be a city of darkness that really needs God’s light

shone into it.” The Charlie Hebdo attacks and rallies provided a conversation starter and helped the group relate to the Parisian communities. “[The attacks] almost made our time there so much more important,” she said. “I felt like we impacted the

city the way that we could. I hope that Paris can continue to recover from the events and nothing like that ever happens again.” The students returned to the United States on Jan. 20 and resumed classes at HU on Jan. 26.

Adult Farm Classes are underway By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

The 37th annual Adult Farm Classes have started. The program, which takes place at the Heartland REMC community room on select Mondays

in with no pre-registration.” Classes begin at 7 p.m. and may be canceled because of bad weather, Campbell said. Some of the programs are an annual event. For example, the Feb. 9 program is an ag outlook and will discuss the current Farm Bill and Farm S e r v i c e Administration. “Ag outlook we do every year because of its relevance to all farm producers,” Campbell said. “The Farm Bill is of importance this year because farmers need to sign up by Feb. 28 to reallocate base acres and yields and have a March 31 deadline to elect which program they will choose for the next five years. “If they do not make an election they will have to be enrolled in the PLC (Price Loss Coverage) program.” Other programs vary, and cover a wide variety of topics. The Feb. 16 program looks at what impact drones can have on a family farm. “We try to find new and interesting topics that are cutting edge,” Campbell said. However, doing that isn’t always as easy as it sounds, especially when it comes to lining up speakers. “Sometimes it can be difficult,”

through March, kicked off Feb. 2 with a program on alternate energy sources. “The programs are open to anyone interested,” Purdue University Extension Educator Curt Campbell said. “They can attend only classes they are interested

Adult Farm Class schedule The following are the remaining classes scheduled for the 2015 Adult Farm Classes. Feb. 9: Ag Outlook-Farm Bill-FSA by Chris Hurt, Purdue Extension Agricultural Economist and Eric Armentrout from the Farm Service Administration. The program will bring a price outlook with tight margins in 2015. It also will look at the Farm Bill and provide information to help producers make decisions. Feb. 16: Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) for Farm and Fun and Corn Stover. The program is by Jim Straeter of New Holland Rochester and Lanty “Spud” Armstrong, Ag Technologies Inc. One part of the program will look at what drones have to offer and how they can be used in agriculture. The other part examines the possibilities of selling more than just corn off a field. March 2: Selling Indiana Agriculture in Asia and Managing Your Data. Ken Perkins, First Farmers Bank & Trust senior commercial lender, will speak on his trip to Asia with the Indiana State Department of Agriculture. He also will talk about ways to protect important personal information from being stolen. March 9: Blackberries and Hay. Jared Cordes will talk about his blackberry farm and how to raise blackberries. Steve Flack has Indiana’s own Big Bale converter and will talk about marketing hay with the use of the bale converter. Jeremy Sweeten will talk about baling hay in marshmallows. Classes begin at 7 p.m. at the Heartland REMC community room located in the Wabash Industrial Park on SR 15.

we’d be willing to pilot this eLearning program for inclement weather. So we chose to and it was also successful. The kids didn’t have to make up those missed school days.” Weaver said that the school reapplied for the eLearning program with Virtual Option for Inclement Weather, but were unable to utilize it during this year’s first series of snow days. “The program takes time for preparation,” she said. “We weren’t ready when the weather turned bad. The first two days back [from winter vacation] were partial due to two-hour delays and then school was out for the next four.” Predicting inclement

weather is a challenge for the superintendent. She said that she and her staff have had to become their own meteorologists to be able to predict and prepare for future missed school days. However, despite the challenge, Weaver said the program has been an overall success and she’s hearing positive remarks from the toughest critics, the students. “One student had come up to me and

said, ‘The teachers are getting better at eLearning. The assignments are longer and they’re more targeted to the curriculum. The assignments now require us to think harder.’ To me it’s a great testimonial on how the staff is doing and the students too.” Metropolitan School District makeup days will be held on Feb. 2, Feb. 20, March 20, and May 22.

Campbell said. “The drone class this year was one that I had to spend some time finding speakers. “Because we are part of the Purdue Extension we have a number of Purdue Extension specialists who we are able to call on for programs. We also prefer to use

them as much as possible so it will give an unbiased opinion rather than a sales pitch.” Refreshments and door prizes will be provided at each m e e t i n g . Complementary awards will be given to those who attend

young groups who tend to be the most vulnerable. The hospital, according to Wolfe, had five confirmed flu diagnosis in the E m e r g e n c y Department and three confirmed inpatient diagnosis in December, up from 2013. Schools have seen an increased level of absences, Wabash County Health Nurse Lori Faust said. “However, they did not reach the 20 percent level which would make absences reportable to the health department,” she said. “Health care facilities have a 10 percent absence rate to be reportable. We had no reports from health care facilities.” M.A. Hire, RN, school nurse for M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools, said that district started to see an increase in influenzarelated absences in November. “We then experienced days with larger numbers of absences related to influenza symptoms in December,” she continued. “Luckily we have been under the 20 percent mark of absences in any one school building. At 20 percent, we report to the county health department and the Department of % Education.” Faust said school nurses have reported a decrease in flu-related absences since students returned from Christmas break. The flu that is circulating is Type A, she said, noting it has hit all age groups. “We have not had reports of any specif-

The flu is a viral infection of the respiratory tract. It is spread by close contact with infected people or contact with contaminated surfaces or objects. Infection can occur when influenza viruses contact the eyes, mouth or nose, and possibly through inhaling droplets from a sneeze or cough. Touching surfaces or objects contaminated with influenza viruses and then touching their eyes, mouth or nose may sometime infect people. Symptoms are Fever of 100 degrees or greater Headache Fatigue Cough Muscle aches Sore throat Source: Indiana State Department of Health ic ages being affected here locally,” she added. Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Jerome Adams noted that anyone can get the flu, but some groups are at a higher risk of complications because of it. Highrisk individuals include pregnant women, young children, especially those younger than 2 years, people older than 65 and people with chronic illnesses or c o m p r o m i s e d immune systems. “Our older population is being hit hard this year by flu,” Adams said. “We’ve seen the most deaths in Hoosiers 65 and older.” To help fight the spread of the disease, Hire said, the Manchester school district sends reminders to teachers and staff to encourage and provide opportunities for students to wash their hands with soap and water throughout the school day. They also are encouraged to stay

home if they are ill and to cover their mouths when coughing. “School newsletters had reminders of when to stay home as well as typical flu symptoms,” Hire said. “The custodial staff was reminded to be diligent in cleaning desk tops, water fountains, door knobs daily – any frequently touched surface.” Health officials encourage residents to receive flu shots. “People are encouraged to get a flu vaccine, even if it is not 100 percent effective,” Faust said. “If one has received the flu vaccine and yet gets the flu, symptoms and duration of illness could be reduced.” Wolfe agreed, noting, “It is never to late to get a flu shot. Check with your family physician as they are often offered in the office.” Faust said the local health department has a limited number of vaccines still available, while Wolfe said they also are available (continued on page 9)

Wabash Police releases 2014 department statistics By The Paper Staff The Wabash Police Department’s uniformed officers responded to a total of 12,426 calls for service in 2014, according to recently released statistics from Sgt. Matt Benson, the department’s Public Information Officer. The department also made 814 arrests on individual criminal charges for the year, according to the figures. The department consists of 21 officers in the uniform division and two full-time detectives. The uniformed officers work three shifts and pro-

vide 24-hour service to Wabash. The statement reported that the department responded to 450 9-1-1 calls and 539 9-1-1 hang-up calls. Uniformed officers conducted a total of 1,880 traffic stops, which resulted in 235 infractions and 71 arrests for driving while suspended charges. The department also invested 548 traffic crashes and reported 51 arrests for operating a vehicle while intoxicated charges. Benson said 184 warrants served by the department. The detectives investigated 90 cases, which

resulted in 48 arrests on 60 individual criminal charges. The department recorded 122 narcotics related arrests and warrants served, excluding the Drug Task Force’s numbers. Of total arrests made, 30 juveniles were arrested for disobedience, curfew, and illegal possession of tobacco related charges. The department also arrested 20 individuals for minor consuming and 29 individuals for public intoxication. Benson reported 34 arrests on charges of domestic battery, battery, and disorderly conduct.

continued from page 8 at QuickMed, the hospital’s walk-in clinic. In a way, Wabash County has been somewhat fortunate. “Other hospitals in the area have had visitor restrictions in place at one time or another during the flu season,” Wolfe said. “Parkview Wabash Hospital has been fortunate that we have not had to do that yet. It is something, however, we take serious-

ly and would implement if we deemed necessary.” Hire also credits area parents for helping prevent a widespread flu problem. “In general, parents were pretty good at keeping their kids home when ill which helped control the spread of influenza within the buildings,” she said. Those who display symptoms should see

their doctor as quickly as possible, Adams said.“This is clearly a severe flu season,” he said. “Because of that, it’s especially important to see a health care provider right away if you have flu symptoms. If it is flu, starting early on antiviral medications can help reduce the severity and length of illness.”

ed self-reliance to achieve personal and educational goals. The Wabash Kiwanis Club coordinates and conducts the selection process by

reviewing the applications, interviewing the finalists, and organizing the award presentation. The award program is designed to honor

graduating high school seniors who have overcome difficult life circumstances and through their self-reliance, accomplished worthy

goals. With the exception of children of Kiwanis members, all high school seniors in Wabash County are eligible to compete.

As a volunteer at the Wabash County Historical Museum several years ago, Jennifer McSpadden was given a task to do. “I had a Civil War project that was to find a list of all the people who died from Wabash County, because there’s no memorial anywhere,” she said. “There’s a little memorial in Center Grove Cemetery where they’ve got this stone column, and on each side of the four-sided column, they’ve got 10 names on each side. It’s for those who were unreturned from the area, which includes a lot of people from Huntington.” Of the 40 names on the column, approximately 17 were from Wabash County. “So I started looking around trying to find all the rest of them,” McSpadden continued. “So I went through military records. I went through all the archives upstairs at the museum. A lot of the names I was getting from obituaries

excerpts from the letters, McSpadden tried to research the writers’ lives, finding out what happened to them after the war. “There’s some interesting stories,” she said. “There’s this one guy who was a prisoner of war. He survived that, but ends up being burned to death in a fire in Iowa.” A London native, McSpadden admits that before she started working on the museum project and the book, she had little interest in the Civil War. “I knew some of it from history when I was in school in England,” she said. “We learned the basics and all of that. But my interest in history was the Middle Ages. I was never really that interested in anything that recent. “But it really got me hooked.”

Our Grandchildren came to stay with us for a few days last week. Although we look forward to their visits, it’s not easy keeping three busy toddlers happy and out of mischief, even for this seasoned Grandma. Out of desperation, I decided to resort to my old stand by and make play dough for them.Making your own play dough is super simple and guaranteed to keep little ones content.The quality is far better than any store bought brand of play dough. Keeping it stored in an airtight container will keep it soft and pliable for several weeks. I think in my 25 years of teaching preschool, I have made at least a hundred batches of play dough. It turns out perfect every time.

Nick Harless Band to perform in round two of Thursday Night Blues By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Nick Harless Band will perform at the Eagles Theatre on Feb. 12 as the second show in the Thursday Night Blues series. Known for his role in the Harless Brothers Band, Nick Harless will perform with drummer Dave Huff and Sad Sam Blues Jam guitarist Sam Johnson. Harless is no stranger to the Eagles Theatre, having performed there in September 2013 with the Harless Brothers Band. Recalling the stage, Harless said the venue provides a great opportunity to be close to the audience. “I enjoy the intimate settings

because you can connect with people when you can see their faces and see how they react,” he said. “The more people, obviously, the better, but when it’s a closer venue, like the Eagles, when you can see everyone’s reactions to what you’re doing and how they feel the music, it really inspires you to player harder and perform even better.” Since his brother Tony stepped down from the act, Harless has renamed the group the Nick Harless Band and taken on Johnson as bass guitarist. “With blues music, as long as you can feel it and get into the groove with the band, it seems to work out really well,” he said. “Sam

fits right in with us. The transition [to the new band] hasn’t been that difficult at all, and we’ve got a whole summer’s worth of shows coming up. We’re really looking forward to just rocking around the park.” Inspired by Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, Harless said his music covers the entire blues genres, including Memphis Blues and Delta Blues, dabbling in country music and rock and roll. However, he is “primarily driven by Texas blues and rock.” “When it comes to music, I love all kinds,” he said. “It doesn’t matter what it is. If I can pull some inspiration out of it, I will.” With a new name and new member,

Harless said he hopes that everyone will enjoy the show. “I just want to create an energy. I’ve always said we’ve played from large crowds to small crowds to bars, and I just want them to feel me and understand where I’m coming from. “We want to get people’s attention. We want to hold their attention, and we want to make sure everyone really enjoys the music.” The performance will start at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets for the event are $12 in advance or $15 the day of the show. They are available at the Honeywell Center box office or online at honeywellcenter.org.

Scouts from around Central Indiana will converge on downtown Wabash on Sunday, Feb. 8, for the 75th annual Lincoln Pilgrimage. Activities will actually begin on Saturday, Feb. 7, when scouts will hike from Mt. Olive United Methodist Church in Marion to the L a F o n t a i n e Community Building. They will arrive in LaFontaine about 5 p.m. and will have a chili supper and sleep overnight at the community building. After a breakfast of biscuits and gravy Sunday morning, the group will continue the nine-mile trek to Wabash, arriving at the Honeywell Center about noon for the start of Pilgrimage activities there. Pilgrimage organizer Tom Chekouras said the hike is something that had taken place at past Pilgrimages, but has not taken place in recent years. “There will be more older boys involved in the hike,” he said, noting that it can be counted toward the Scouts’ Hiking Merit Badge. “They started doing the hike in the 1960s or so, and it continued through the 1970s and into the early ‘80s.” Along the way the Scouts can participate in a scavenger hunt while walking along the way. Another new event at this year’s Pilgrimage is an

Manchester boys come from behind to down Valley By Gary Andrews The Manchester boys’ basketball team was hosting Tippecanoe Valley on Friday and it was more than just another game. Valley was bringing a 3-0 Three Rivers Conference conference record into the game with the Squires needing a win to draw even in the loss column for the TRC lead. Top that with Valley being the former home of Chainey Zolman, plus Chase Fierstos getting his first start since being injured just two games into the season and the Squires

were flying sky high. Perhaps things were flying a little too high the first half the Squires trailed 32-19 at the break before a thrilling second half comeback gave Manchester a 56-51 win. Valley quickly led 3-0 before a Zolman bucket and two Koehl Fluke free throws had the Squires trailing just 5-4 when things unraveled a bit. Valley would score 8 straight to grab a 13-4 lead halfway through the quarter as the Squires didn’t score again until the 2:52 mark when Cameron Brandenburg

drained a three pointer that was followed by a Zolman free throw and a Braydon Sewell bucket to cut the Valley lead to 13-10 by the end of the first quarter. The two teams would trade buckets to start the second quarter and with Valley up 17-14 the Vikings would go on a 10-0 run to grab a 27-14 lead. Keelan Norwood stopped the run with a bucket before the Vikings scored 5 straight to extend their lead to 32-16. Chase Fierstos would end the half converting a three-point play as Valley led 32-19 at the half. Regrouping and perhaps calming down a little at the half the Squires came out in the third with a straight face and meant business. David McAtee and Zolman would hit back to back to start the quarter and after a Valley bucket Fierstos would score 4 straight to get the Viking lead to single digits at 35-27. Valley would hit again when McAtee sank a free throw followed by a Zolman three point play to make it 37-31. A Valley three point play made it 40-31 before Fluke hit two free throws and Fierstos a bucket to make it 40-35 with a quarter to go. The game had the feeling that if the Squires could ever grab the lead the momentum would carry them through. Zolman scored the first bucket of the quarter but the Vikings answered with 5 straight points to make it 45-37 when the Squires caught fire.

Zolman would hit again and after some key free throws from Fierstos the Viking lead was 45-43. Valley would make it 47-43 when the noise level in the gym reached its peak. Fierstos would draw the Squires to within one on a homer to make it 47-46 and was followed by McAtee matching Fierstos as the Squires grabbed the lead 49-47. Fierstos would hit a again to make it 51-47 off a Branden Scott steal and it was game on with 2:00 to play. Valley would hit two free throws and foul with 1:00 left, but two missed free throws had the Vikings in position to tie or take the lead. The Squires defense held with Fluke scoring on the other end to make it 53-49. The fouling game continued by the Vikings with Fierstos hitting a free throw for a 54-49 lead with 10.3 remaining. The two teams traded free throws as the Squires held on for the 56-51 thriller. Leading Manchester was Chase Fierstos with 23 points. Chainey Zolman added 12, Koehl Fluke 8, David McAtee 6, Cameron Brandenburg 3, Braydon Sewell 2, Keelan Norwood 2. Manchester won the junior varsity game 5227. Leading the Squires was Braxtin Wilson with 12 points. Adam Byers added 11, Bailey Ness 9, Jake Schannep 7, Kane Gable 4, Levi Hicks 4, Heath Dierks 3, Nathan Self 2.

Norse boys fall in final seconds By Gary Andrews

HUNTINGTON — The Northfield boys’ basketball team went on the road to Huntington Saturday, nearly pulling off the upset as it fell to the Vikings 57-54. For two and a half quarters the Norse controlled the tempo and led at the half and third quarter stops before Huntington pulled out the narrow win. The Norse led 4-2 when the Vikings went on an 8-0 run to grab a 10-4 lead. Sam Daughtery had 4 of the 8 points for the Vikings. Needing a score to not let things get out of hand Tanner Wilcox would get just that than hit four straight free throws to knot the game at 10. Two Viking buckets that included a Luke Stroud three put Huntington back up 15-10 before a Noah Shear three. As time expired Tanner Wilcox was fouled, converting both free throws and the game was tied at 15 after o n e . The Norse would score the first 4 points of the second quarter as Jarred Short hit followed by two Wilcox free throws for a 19-15 lead. Two

Ethan Shafer free throws made it 19-18 when the Norse would score 5 straight. Adam Roser converted the rare four point play when he was fouled on a made three, making the free throw and after an Austin Burns free throw the Norse led 24-18. The Vikings would then ride the back of Hunter Hollowell who hit three times to cut the Northfield lead to 2624, but the Norse responded by scoring the last 6 points on field goals from Wilcox and Burns, plus two Shear free throws to lead 32-24 at the half. Northfield would build on its lead coming out of the locker room, scoring on a Wilcox free throw and a Shear three to grab a 36-24 lead before the Vikings responded. Cody Adams would hit back to back buckets, followed by Konner Platt and as Huntington cut the Northfield lead to 3632. The Norse answered with free throws as Wilcox and Burns hit two each to get the lead to 10 at 4232. Huntington cut the Norse lead to 42-37 with Hollowell scoring again when Noah Shear drained a three to make it 45-37. The

Northfield coach Buddy Ireland gives his final pep talk before the Norse take the floor. Photo by Gary Andrews Vikings would score the last 4 points of the quarter off buckets from Adams and Granville Schultz to make it 45-41 with a quarter to go. The Vikings would start the fourth quarter with a 6-0 run to grab their first lead since the first quarter off buckets from Stroud, Adams and Platt to lead 47-45, but the Norse answered. Tanner Wilcox and Noah Shear would hit two free throws each as the Norse grabbed the lead back at 49-47. Back came the Vikings getting a free throw and a three from Hollowell to lead 51-49 when Jarred Short tied the game with two free throws.

Konner Platt would give the Vikings the lead back with a bucket and they built their lead to 55-52 on two Hollowell free throws with 1:38 remaining. At the 1:07 mark Noah Shear would hit two free throws to make it 55-54 with the Norse fouling with 25.4 left. Huntington missed the front of a one and one and the Norse worked the ball until a time out with 14.1 remaining. Out of the time out the Norse attempt to take the lead missed, forcing a foul with 3.7 left. Hunter Hollowell converted both free throws for a 57-54 lead as the Norse raced down the court with the tying three falling

short for the 57-54 final. Scoring for Northfield were Noah Shear- 15 points, 2 assists; Tanner Wilcox- 19 points, 2 assists, 6 rebounds; Adam Roser- 4 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals; Heath Miller- 2 points, 2 rebounds; Jarred Short- 6 points, 2 rebounds, 3 steals; Austin Burns8 points, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks; Jake Schuler1 assist; Austin Trump- 1 assist.

75th annual Lincoln Pilgrimage is Feb. 7-8... continued from page 19 Pilgrimage was held. It was a ceremony at the statue. The Scouts all marched there.” The annual tradition continued at the Courthouse until the Honeywell Center opened. There the Scouts had a program before marching to the statue. In its 75 years, Chekouras said he remembers the march only being canceled twice, both times because of extreme weather. “The first time we had a huge snow storm on Saturday, so

they canceled the march,” he said. “They still had about 30 or 40 people show up on Sunday because it wasn’t like today where we could email everyone.” The second time was when temperatures and wind-chill factors were well below zero. “I’ve marched up that hill in snowy and sub-zero conditions,” he joked. “And I’ve marched up that hill in 60-degree weather.” Chekouras was involved with the Lincoln Pilgrimage while he was a Scout.

As an adult, he’s been involved with it for about 15 years. Years ago, he said, the gymnasium was filled with Scouts and parents. Today, there are just a few hundred Scouts involved. “But there are fewer boys in Scouting today,” he continued. “Scouting is not as large as it used to be years ago. But if you look at the total number of boys involved in Scouts, I think we have about the same percentage of boys attending today as we did years ago.”

Local Kiwanis Club celebrates its 95th birthday; Kiwanis International celebrates 100th By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com On Jan. 30, the local Kiwanis Club chapter commemorated its 95th year as a Wabash service organization and celebrated K i w a n i s International’s 100th year by throwing a birthday celebration at the Women’s Clubhouse. Complete with dinner, cake, and a speech by 2015’s Riley Champion Camille Kerlin. Since its establishment on Jan. 30, 1920, the service organization has been committed to serving the children of the world. The local club has supported organizations including Riley Children’s Hospital, Special Olympics, and The Access. In addi-

tion, the club has also serviced the community with service projects such creating a new playground for Hanna Park and raising funds for the Eliminate Project, a project serving to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. Kiwanis member Mayor Robert Va n l a n d i n g h a m issued a proclamation announcing the week of Jan. 26-30, 2015 as Kiwanis Week in Wabash on Wednesday Jan. 28. Normally, a day would be chosen for the occasion, but the mayor said that K i w a n i s International was founded during that week back in 1915. “The city should be supporting this because Kiwanis is about community and

serving the children,” he said. “It’s all of us working together that makes things better.” Wabash Club President Jordan Tandy said the club is made up of community-minded individuals. “Each member not only serves through the Kiwanis Club but also serves by donating their time and money to Wabash’s individual organizations,” he said. “I think [the celebration] reflects the giving nature of the Wabash community. To sustain that membership for 95 years just goes to show that we’re a community of people who care about giving back and care about helping those, especially the less fortunate.” Since joining as a

member on April 1, 1961, Dr. Robert Mattern has kept perfect attendance with the organization, took on several positions within the club, and has seen many changes come about with the chapter. “I always wanted to be a part of the organization and what it stands for as well as doing something that was worthwhile for the community,” he said. “It’s a good social [club] where you get to know other people, particularly more leaders of the community that are members. You get to know them and get involved with them. We’ve also been involved with servicing the kids, with Special Olympics and things like that.”

Honeywell Pool renovations on schedule By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Renovations at the Honeywell Pool are progressing nicely, Wabash Park Superintendent Todd Titus told The Paper of Wabash County. Work on the project was expected to begin within days of the pool’s closing last August. However, budget issues delayed the start of the work until mid-October. In spite of that, crews are on schedule with the work. “Certainly they’re not behind schedule,” Titus said. “They’d tell you they’d like to be further along than where they are, but when you’re constructing during the winter months, there’s always a little

unknown there as far as the weather goes.” Snow and cold weather in January delayed work a few days, Titus said. “I think since they started, the weather may have disrupted them for five to seven days,” he said. “Most days they’ve had people there and have gotten stuff done. Most days, when it got cold there, when the weather was in the teens right after the first of the year, there were a few days they didn’t work. “Other than that, they’ve been there pretty much every day. They’ve worked some Saturdays. At the last progress meeting we had a few weeks ago, they work pleased and our engineers were pleased at the progress being made.”

Opened in 1961, the pool is having major renovations including the rebuilding of the retaining wall on the east end and the addition of a zero entry pool where the wading pool was once located. The latter is designed to help the pool meet Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines. R.L. Turner Inc. of Zionsville is the general contractor on the $1.9 million-dollar project. The work, city engineer Keith Bryant has said in the past, could extend the pool’s life by at least 25 years. Various subcontractors are on the scene working. “All are practicing their specialty,” Titus said. “You’ve got sev-

tially done, the surge tank for the main pool is ready, they are right now in the process of extending the new drain line for the zero entry pool, utilities have been roughed in for the chemical control building, or pool house, for the new pool, some of the stainless steel gutter work for the new pool has been com pleted, the main drain for the main pool has been completely replaced and the concrete has been placed back in. “It’s going well.” The pool generally opens over Memorial Day weekend in late May. Officials are cautiously optimistic that date, or as close to that date as possible, can still be met. “The contract calls for ‘substantial completion’ on June 8,” Titus said. “Substantial completion would mean the pool would be capable of being open, or

at least being prepared to be open. “A completed date for the project is a month after that. That means all the little miscellaneous things need to be tied up.” During that time, the pool can still be open. However, Titus warned, just because winter hasn’t been as big of a hindrance as it could be, the project is not yet out of the woods. “Weather is the unknown,” he said. “As we work our way through winter, we’ve got some of that potential problem behind us. But we still face the spring, and if we get into a wetter than normal spring, it could be just as damaging to our plans here as what the cold and snowy winter could be. “It’s day-by-day and week-by-week. But, so far, so good.”

Local grandparents scammed for more than $1,200 By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

A set of grandparents from Wabash County fell victim to an apparent phone scam that cost them more than $1,200. Meanwhile, the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce warned its members in a business brief last week of another scam wherein the caller impersonated the Chamber. On Jan. 27, at 9 a.m., a Wabash County grandfather, name withheld, received a call from a man claiming to be a lawyer in Mexico. The lawyer identified himself as Sgt. Robert Carter and told the local resident his 21-year-old grandson was in jail and wished to speak to him. A crying man, which the Wabash man said sounded exactly like his grandson, got on the call and told an elaborate story. “When he called, he

said a friend had won plane tickets to Mexico and invited my grandson to go along,” the grandfather said. “When they got down there, they got a cab to go get something to eat; and the cab driver was speeding and the police pulled him over, and found cocaine in his trunk. And [the officer] arrested all of them, including the cab driver. “He was crying and he said he wouldn’t go on trial for eight weeks. He said, ‘I don’t want to stay here eight weeks!’” The “attorney” told the grandfather that for $1,243.65 he could get the grandson to trial that day and instructed the Wabash man how to send the money through Western Union to Mexico City, Mexico. The Wabash man said he and his wife were concerned for the safety of their grandson in a Mexican jail, so went to withdraw the funds from the bank without question-

ing the legitimacy of the call. After the grandpa sent the first check from Kroger’s Western Union station, he received another call from Carter asking for another $1,000 to pay a fine. “He tested clean and so they released him, but there’s a $1,000 he had to pay before he could come back to the states,” the Wabash man said. The grandpa returned to his bank to withdraw the money, when the attending bank cashier stopped him. “The lady at the bank, bless her heart, she said, ‘What are you doing with all this money?” the grandfather said. “Actually, she had questioned me the first time I was in there, and I just told her it was personal. But the second time I said, ‘Well its kind of personal, but my grandson’s in jail in Mexico.’ “And she said, ‘Are you sure it’s your grandson?’ “And I said,

‘Well yeah I’ve talked to him.’ And she said, ‘Well, they’re pretty good at imitating voices.’” The Wabash man said that the bank attendee’s words “got [him] to thinking” and he began calling around asking about his grandson’s whereabouts. Sure enough, the grandson was his work in Fort Wayne. “The guy called back the next day. I didn’t send that last $1,000, though I sent the first $1243.65. When he called back, I told him I knew it was a scam so he hung up.” The couple was able to reach a representative from Western Union, which confirmed the delivery of the money to a station in Mexico City. The representative said the company would try to pull a picture of the person receiving the money and report it to the FBI. In hindsight, the Wabash couple said that if they had just taken a minute to ask

questions and called around first, the situation could have been avoided. “The best advice I could give [other people who receive these calls] is ask questions to find out where their grandkids are; and find out for sure that they are gone. “Also, ask key questions. I could have asked him key questions that only my grandson and I would know, but I was convinced it was him so I didn’t do it.” The Wabash man and his wife went to the Wabash Police Department and reported the incident, but the officer told the couple, once the money was sent off, there was nothing the department could do. Meanwhile, in its Jan. 30 newsletter, the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce wrote to its members that the calls were made from out-of-state numbers, asking to update personal information with the

Chamber. The operators couldn’t answer what their names or department they were from. Chamber officials wrote that its operators would always identify by name and department and provide notice if a survey will be performed in the future. Wabash Police Department Sgt. Matt Benson said that phone scams have been around for years.
