Duke meeting ends in standstill No compromise has been reached with property owners By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Duke Energy and the Wabash County landowners are still at a standstill, according to a representative for the local farmers. On Monday March 30, the electric utility company met with the landowners and Wabash County Commissioner Scott Givens in private at the Duke Energy station in Wabash to further discuss the development of a five-mile long 69-kilovolt transmission line. The landowners had invited The Paper of Wabash County to attend the meeting, however Duke Energy had denied entry. Last week, Duke Energy’s communications manager Angeline Protogere released a statement that asserted that the company had “discussed how we carefully considered various routes for the line, including some that the landowners had proposed. We explained (continued on page 4)
Power lines stretch along Wabash County Road 100 E near some residential homes. Local property owners now negotiating with Duke Energy officials for the placement of new high voltage lines have proposed an alternative route. However, Duke officials say the route is near residential homes and also is close to roadways. The company said it tries to avoid that. The local property owners say this is just one example of where Duke lines go near homes and close to the roadway. Photo provided
Southwood’s Lengel named 2015 Lilly Scholar Early voting to begin April 20 By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com
When Michael Lengel walked into a conference room in the main office of Southwood High School on Thursday afternoon, April 2, several family members and other individuals greeted him. Perhaps the most important person there to welcome Lengel, a soon-to-be 2015 high school graduate, was Julie Garber, program director for the Community Foundation of Wabash County. For it was Garber who broke what could easily be called the best news that Lengel has received thus far in his fairly young life. “Michael,” she said, “I’m here to tell you that you are the 2015 recipient of the Lilly Endowment Scholarship.” Those in the room, including his mother, Amy Lee Lengel, his sister, Ashley Lengel, Southwood Principal Tim Drake and guidance counselor Roger Boone.

EDG to use CEDIT funds for three projects By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com
The Economic Development Group of Wabash County (EDG) will use up to $45,000 in County E c o n o m i c Development Income Tax for three projects it has planned. EDG President and CEO Keith Gillenwater received permission to use the funds during the Wabash County Commissioners meeting on March 30. Part of the funds will be used to update the organization’s
website, while a new marketing initiative is planned to complement the website project. The third project is to support Wabash County’s buy-in for the Regional Cities Proposal. Revamping the Website will take the biggest part of the funds, he said, roughly $25,000. “We have a number of issues with our website,” he told commissioners. “It’s a number of years old and we’ve done periodic updates to it. Unfortunately, we’re pretty limited on what we can change in-
house without having to incur costs to be able to change layout and structure and that type of thing.” Among the issues with the website, according to a handout Gillenwater presented commissioners, is the lack of branding to Wabash County and specifically to EDG. It’s located on the bottom lefthand corner of the site, the memo noted, “which misses a large opportunity for brand integration and recognition.” Plans also call for relocating other logos that now appear on
the page in an effort to make the EDG logo most dominant. “We propose to not only correct the issues already listed, but will redesign our website with an updated, modern design that is userfriendly … full of information and leaves users with a call to action to contact the EDG as a place to do business,” the memo noted. The new marketing initiative, expected to cost $15,000, will be a direct mail piece to around 50 corporate site selectors and executives with whom

More work planned at Woman’s Club House By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com
The Woman’s Club House in store for updates that could cost about $80,000, a Club House representative told the Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety on Wednesday, April 1. Club House representative Ellen Stouffer updated the board because the city still owns the site, located at 770 W. Hill St., just east of the Wabash City Park entrance. The facility was in total need of repair in 2006, she said. Since then, it has received about $200,000 in donations, a grant and a $15,000 contribution from the City of Wabash. “So we have seriously taken on two aspects” to help preserve the building, she said, noting those are to get it on the National Register of Historic Places and to make it “useful to the community.” “We had to restore the building to make it useful,” Stouffer said. “The neat thing about the Club House is it is a
building that serves all of Wabash. It’s not as expensive as some of the other venues. It’s suitable for so many activities.” The last phase of the update project is restoring the building’s back porch, she said. In addition, work is needed on the roof and officials hope it is done at the same time. “We are in the process of raising money,” Stouffer said. “We think that it’s going to be under $80,000. That also includes the new roof. We were not anticipating having to do that.” Club House officials had hoped to put that off for another 10 years, but recent repairs on the roof showed the need for repairs. “They did not put on vents when the city put that roof on,” Stouffer said. “So we added that in because the original porch had a roof over it and that’s what kept it from deteriorating. “When they tore it off in the ‘60s, they put up an access to the back of the Club House, which we need for fire. But it’s really starting to deteriorate because it didn’t have a
roof on it. “We’re working on the plans. We’re working on the finances.” A final cost estimate could come in May, she said. Mayor Robert Vanlandingham said the group has “done a heck of a job so far,” with the restoration. But he reminded that since the city owns the facility, he asked that Club House officials update the city periodically on their plans. “They’ve done a heck of a job down there,” the mayor said. “They’ve done it right. I’m not so sure that when we get ready to do next year’s budget, there might be some money for the work, at least a part of it.” But, he reminded, the City Council has the final say. Also, he noted, if included in the budget the funds wouldn’t be available until 2016, so it may serve as a reimbursement for funds already spent on the work. Stouffer said when work first started on the building, officials tried to prioritize what needed to be done at the site. “Of course, heating and cooling was the
North Manchester Center for History re-opens, seeks volunteers By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — After its annual three-month winter hiatus, the North Manchester Center for History is open again, and it has undergone some change. Staff and volunteers have used the hiatus period to make some major changes, some of which are still in process. According to Mary Chrastil, President of the North Manchester Historical Society which operates the Center, officials have wanted to make improvements for some time. “We felt that we could do a better job of telling the story of the earliest residents of the Eel River Valley, as well as the stories of the earliest European settlers of North Manchester,” she said. “ If we don’t tell that story, who will? Exhibits on early natural history, Native Americans and town founders were scattered throughout the museum. We are bringing them together in one area.” Besides rearranging the materials, volunteers led by Jeanne
Andersen are brainstorming ways to make all the exhibits more engaging and attractive. “We want to catch people’s eye, to draw them into an area, and get them to stop and think about what is here,” said Andersen. “One goal is to convey information by telling stories rather than merely listing facts.” And catch the eye they do, starting with a lifesized mastodon mural, a barn mural at the entrance to the Miller Farm Collection, refurbished exhibits, and labelling that is more informative and more consistent in appearance. Although much has been accomplished, the renovators are dreaming big, and there is much to do in the next few months, Chrastil said. Plans call for painting several murals depicting the early landscape and creating replicas of an early settler’s log cabin, a Potawatomi wigwam, and an early grist mill. The Center for History is calling on the community to help, she said. Those with the following skills, or those
who just want to help, should contact Center officials. Help needed is: painters to prime walls and do touch ups; artists to work on murals; cabinet makers to help with display cases; builders to create walls, furniture, a log cabin and wigwam; model builders to create miniature replicas; calligraphers; people with sewing skills; writers to create content for labels; people with computer skills to produce images and labels; researchers and fact checkers; people interested in early pioneers, French trappers, geological history, and Native Americans. Those interested in helping should contact the Center for History at 122 E. Main Street Monday through Friday from 10 to 4, or call the Center at 260982-0672. “Your work will show results that will be on display for years to come,” Chrastil said. “Center for History staff guarantee that you will have fun, stretch your creativity, and find real satisfaction in producing something community members of all ages will appreciate.
first thing,” she said. “The city went in with us to improve that. There was no way to keep the Club House open without improving the way to heat the building.” Other improvements include an $8,000 chairlift to help made the facility’s third floor accessible to all. A ramp also was placed in front of the building to allow accessibility to the second, or main floor, of the structure. The building is three stories, with the Friends in Service Here (F.I.S.H.) pantry occupying the ground
floor, while the Club House uses the second and third floors. “The porch is the original porch that was on the building, designed and built by Joseph Hipskind,” Stouffer said. “We put it back as it was. “The back porch is a second deck and a third deck … It will have to be secured from the bottom where you go up the stairs to go up into the Club House, because of kids in the park. I want you to know we are cognizant of the problem.” Because the building sits on park property,
the city may be precluded from selling or donating it to the Woman’s Club House Association. “We’ve received grants in the past that basically prevents us from giving away park property,” City Attorney Doug Lehman said. “As a practical matter I don’t think we can give it away.” Membership in the Association stands at about 350 people and/or organizations. “We have several organizations that use it monthly,” Stouffer said. “Of course, it’s
used for social events. It’s used by businesses. It’s a multi-purpose building.” Those using it for social functions are allowed to bring in their own food, she continued. “At our peak we were seeing about 500 people come into the Club House each month,” she estimated. “Now we’re down to about 400.” The building, which celebrated its 125th anniversary last year, formerly housed the Wabash County Hospital. It also served as an orphanage.
Wabash County SWCD plans annual rain barrel sale Article provided The Wabash County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) is now taking orders for their annual rain barrel sale. A rain barrel is a system that collects and stores rainwater from your roof that would otherwise be lost to runoff and diverted to storm drains and streams. There are many advantages to having a rain barrel: It saves money. A rain barrel will save most homeowners about1,300 gallons of water during the peak summer months. Saving water not only helps protect the environment, it saves you money and energy (decreased demand for treated tap water). Helps reduce stormwater pollution Rainwater stored in rain barrels helps reduce the amount of stormwater runoff and the amount of pollutants that are picked up and carried to storm sewers, creeks and rivers.
Conserves water supply resources. Lawn and garden watering make up nearly 40 percent of total household water use during the summer. Rainwater used from rain barrels helps reduce the amount of water used from underground aquifers. Better for plants and gardens. Rainwater stored in rain barrels is naturally soft water and devoid of minerals, chlorine, fluoride, and other chemicals. For this reason, plants respond very well to rainwater. After all, it’s what plants in the wild thrive on! Helps inform neighbors. One of the best reasons to start harvesting rainwater with rain barrels is to teach and encourage others to do the same, you will help to spread the culture of rainwater collection and in turn, help your larger community and the environment. The Wabash County SWCD is selling 55 gallon plastic rain barrels made from re-cycled food quality barrels.
An example of a rain barrel. The Wabash County Soil and Water Conservation District is now selling rain barrels for private homes. Photo provided These barrels have been kept out of our landfills and UpCylced into a “second life” as a rain barrel. The rain barrels have a screw on top with screen mesh to keep out debris and mosquitoes, an overflow hose connection, drain valve, and a connection to attach additional barrels. Once installed to a downspout, these barrels are very durable and
can be left in place for years. They are available in black, grey, terracotta and blue and are selling for $70 each, including tax. A rain barrel would make a great addition to your home, office, or as a gift for someone this spring.

why the preferred route we did not change after this analysis.” In an email to The Paper, Givens wrote, “The Wabash County Commissioners and the Wabash County Planning Commission oppose this project. “We believe alternate routes would do less economic damage to landowners but Duke does not seem willing to compromise,” he wrote. “We are hoping that an agreement can be reached that will not adversely effect productive farmland and our local landowners. “It’s unfortunately that Duke cares more about their cost than the local landowners of Wabash County. “ In an interview with The Paper, Protogere said that alternative routes would put lines closer to homes and affect additional landowners. “With the preferred route, we are trying to balance individual interests with a responsibility to provide reliable power to the county,” she said. “We want to work with the affected landowners to minimize any impact.”
In the company’s press release, Duke Energy had discussed other factors including the following: • “More landowners would be affected by alternative routes,” Protogere wrote in the release. “In alternatives suggested, homes also would be within 100 feet of the new line and new landowners would be affected.” • Transmission lines need to avoid being built along roadways “whenever possible.” There are issues with following roadways like US 24, including often creating curves and angles that would decrease the reliability of the line. If a roadway were to be widened, “structures may have to be moved, sometimes at the expense of taxpayers. Importantly, US 24 is a state road in the area, and there are more restrictions when building along a state road as compare to a county or city road. • “Some landowners pointed out that we have transmission lines along roads in other parts of our system. We explained that over the years we’ve learned that is not always the best approach and our practices today have changed based on our experience,” according to the release. Landowner representatives Bob Shultz,
Herb Ringel, and his grandson, Colton Ringel, told The Paper that there were some discrepancies with Duke Energy’s statement, however. “Within the meeting, the landowners were trying to question Duke on why the alternate route would so adversely affect so many homes and new landowners,” he said in an interview. “All over our county we have double used utility poles that carry both transmission line voltage and the smaller line voltage that carry power to homes.” Shultz referred to power line examples along Division Road in front of Bickford Cottage and State Road 13 North through the town of Urbana. “In both current example locations, those homeowners don’t seem to be too effected,” Shultz said. “In fact, if Duke Energy would use the system we are referencing, they could use the county right of way and there would be even less intrusion on landowners than their preferred route. “They’re tying together an existing system, but they’re trying to say they don’t do this any more. They’re trying to say that these existing lines are service lines.” In response to the landowner’s com-
... continued from the front page ments, Protegere said that some of the alternative routes would put the power line within 100 feet of homes, which Duke Energy tries to avoid doing when siting major power lines. “While we do have transmission lines along roads in other parts of our system, we explained to landowners at our meeting that over the years we’ve learned that is not always the best approach and our practices today have changed based on our experience.” However, the company’s preferred route still remains not acceptable, Shultz said, because it will affect the landowner’s ability to farm for the next 100 years. “I will admit that everyone agrees that they need to close that loop,” he said, “but this is not an immediate need.” “The (new) transmission line is something that will cost approximately $200 each year for the farmer to farm around,” H. Ringel said. However, Shultz said that the landowners aren’t unreasonable. “Bob Brodbeck told me that they can use his field as long as they’re at the end of the field,” Shultz said. “And on top of that, we can take care of it
more and better,” Colton Ringel added. “We can mow it and control the weeds more if they agreed to build at the end of the fields.” In the company’s press release, Duke Energy wrote that it would like to meet individually with the landowners to show them approximately where structures would be erected on their properties and make some adjustments to accommodate their concerns. “We want to do our best to work with them while still completing a project that’s important for the reliability of the county’s power delivery system,” Protogere wrote. This was more of an ultimatum than a request, however, according to Shultz. “In the end, the landowners were told by Duke that if they didn’t start signing Duke’s (survey) papers agreeing to allow Duke access to their properties to start the surveying process, they would exercise their right as a utility to give the landowners a 14day notice to proceed onto the land to begin surveying without consent, only notification,” he said. Protogere responded that Duke Energy needs to survey the preferred route so “landowners and Duke Energy will know where the line will be located on the properties,” as well as examining the location to be sure the land is suitable for the construction of the line. “We always try and get a landowner’s consent before entering their property for survey and examination,” she told The Paper. “If a property owner doesn’t wish to provide it, then the law allows us to do this work after sending a landowner a written notice at least 14 days before we enter their property. “We try hard, though to get a voluntary consent, and have already received consent from several of the landowners.”

Southwood’s Lengel named 2015 Lilly Scholar... continued from the front page the interview is taped so committee members can view it away from the candidates. By receiving the Lilly Scholarship, which is administered by the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County, Lengel will receive a full tuition scholarship for four years to an accredited college or university in Indiana. He also will receive an annual stipend for books or other expenses. Lengel is a first-generation college student in his family. He plans to study chemistry at Purdue
University where he hopes to pursue research related to alternative fuels. “I want to push more environmentally friendly fuels so that we don’t have to rely on fossil fuels so much in the future generations,” he said. “We’ll try to reverse some of the damage done to the environment.” An admitted Indiana University sports fan, Lengel said he was “on the fence” when it came to attending IU or Purdue. However, a visit to West Lafayette sealed his decision. “Just how successful they are in their
programs (led him to choose Purdue),” he said. “I want to minor in computer sciences, also, and their chemistry and computer science programs are top flight in Indiana and quite a bit nationwide. That’s where I want to be; that’s what I want to do. “I guess, reluctantly, I’ll be becoming a Purdue fan.” He said he doesn’t really have a dream job, other than continuing with the research. He also said, if need be, he would consider working toward a doctorate degree. The research, he said, “could have me
wind up in a company around here, or it could have me end up at the campus and have me do research on campus. I don’t know what job that will lead me to. I just know I want to do it.” Lengel’s mother said she was overwhelmed when informed on March 31 that her son was selected for the scholarship. “I weeped,” she said, noting that she also had to keep it a secret from her son until Thursday’s announcement. Lengel also received praise from Southwood faculty (continued on page 22)

VIEWPOINT Public should speak up on Duke plans Dear Editor: When I read the news article about Duke Energy and their intent to run power lines along State Route 15 south to County Road 100 East I felt compelled to express my concerns and hope other readers will express their concern as well. First, hats off to the County Commissioners for their letter to Duke expressing intent to block this expansion and their concern about the farmland Duke would have to access in order to complete their proposal. The County Commissioners and Wabash County Highway Department
should take a look at the condition of 100 East, especially the middle section which is the only paved portion of the road. Any more traffic routed down 100 East will absolutely destroy the road. Several years ago the dairy farm, just north of LaFontaine off of State Road 15, began using heavy-duty trucks to spread liquid fertilizer on the fields through spring, summer and on into the fall. At harvest time the large semis access the fields to haul the grain to the elevators. The trucks access the fields from 100 East anywhere they want to and in most weather conditions. The ditches have
been flattened and the road began to crumble. Two years ago we had major flooding in the spring, our front yards (facing 100 East) had standing water for weeks. In fact, the water flooded to the back of our property into the back yards of the houses facing State Route 15. These residents had not seen anything like it before.
Last year we got a letter of intent from the paper mill in Wabash to spread paper by-product on the fields in this area as well. I am not sure any of us had any idea that 100 East would be the major road for this traffic. Otherwise, the residents along this road would have raised some major questions. Currently, the large
dump trucks from the paper mill run at about 20 minute intervals both day and night. The road is so crumbled, now, the trucks are using the edges of the road and running on lawns that border the road. The cars, in order to avoid the large chunks of road surface are using the edges of the road, too. The condition is worse at the
junction of SR 15 and 100 East, but there is decline along the entire road surface. With continued heavy traffic, the road will disintegrate before summer. We have lived on 100 East for over 20 years and never had this c h a l l e n g e before. Someone has to be responsible. The road surface needs to
be replaced to support this kind of traffic for the future. Perhaps some forethought should had been given to this before these enterprises got started. I hope the Highway Department and the Commissioners will take a look and consider what the remedy might be. – Maxine M. Hughs, LaFontaine

Duke should be able to use land Dear Editor: I’ve been following with interest the article on Duke Energy’s proposed power line route. As a child the Indiana Toll Road cut up three farms, my grandparents, ours and my grandfather’s sister’s. We all farmed together. After that, we moved and life would not be the same. Our farm was used for fill for an overpass. I see families come and go in that location as nothing will grow there. Later I-69 took 40 acres of a cousin’s farm that had been my g reat-g reat-g randfather’s. I feel for the Wabash area farmers. But as we have always asked, “Where were you when others lost their lands?” No one really cares until they are themselves affected.
I’ve pondered this for over 55 years. Do we need improved roads, schools, power lines, infrastructure? Those are all deemed worthy of imminent domain. Our Fifth Amendment gives us rights but states, “...nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” That is our only protection, that we will be justly compensated. There was no way we were to be compensated for the breakup of family farms located closely together. There is only so much money to be used for public good. So back to the Wabash farmers. Do they not believe Duke’s power line is important? Rather, I believe they just don’t want it in their “backyard”. Who would? So, do they
feel others have less important lands? Would they rather see residents living under power lines when they sleep at night? Do they believe that somehow they are “more important” farmers than other farmers? Yet, I suggest those “other farmers” may feel these currently affected may be better able to afford the impact. Perhaps seed corn producing fields would have to be shifted. Perhaps it’s someone else’s turn to reap higher profits from that industry. When one begins to feel more important than others, and publicly broadcasting those beliefs, they are setting themselves up for disrespect. The only way I see to need fewer power lines is for reduced electricity use. Is that realistic? There is no longer one phone on a cord per home, with one 12-inchby-12-inch B&W TV per home. Plus the population has skyrocketed. Power line towers are inconvenient at the least, but farmers do manage to get a crop around them. It’s not like your land is to have the heart taken out of it and a drive of several miles required to get beyond the obstacle. No one promised us control of all things.

County in need of foster families By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com
Wabash County is in need of foster parents, according to officials from the local office of the Department of Child Services. To help bring attention to the need, officials are having several special events in April to help mark Child Abuse P r e v e n t i o n A w a r e n e s s . Saturday’s Shamrock Shuffle was the kickoff event, with three foster care agencies benefiting from the proceeds of a run and walk in the northern part of the city. Pinwheels and signs were also placed along the run course. The pinwheel is a symbol of a happy, carefree childhood. Pinwheel gardens represent a commitment to making the community a safe and nurturing place for all kids and families. Margery Justice, director of the DSC office, and April Arrowood, DCS Foster Care Specialist, discussed the need for foster parents locally in an interview with The Paper of Wabash County. From January 2014 to January 2015, there were 26,505 youngsters placed in foster care in the State of Indiana. During that time, 176 Wabash County children were in foster care, Arrowood said. Because of the lack of foster parents locally, some of the Wabash County children have to be placed with foster families in
other counties. In January, 71 Wabash County children were in foster care, and just 32 were located with local families. “We’ve got approximately 40 of our kids placed outside of Wabash County,” Arrowood said. “That’s about 40 percent.” To try to help the situation, DCS will host three informational meetings on April 11 in which people can stop by the office and learn what it takes to be a foster family. Local foster families and DCS officials will be on hand to answer any questions. The meetings are expected to last 30 minutes and will take place at 10 a.m., 10:45 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Anyone interested may attend the event, which also will

of getting out,” she said. “So we need to be recruiting … in our own county so the kids don’t have to go to another school, they’re out in another community, they’re further away from their parents.” There are now about 35 foster families in Wabash County, Arrowood said. In addition to DCS, White’s Residential and Family Services and Benchmark Family Services also offer foster care services. Benchmark is in the Muncie and Anderson area, and many of the local children are placed there because of the association with the organization.

“One thing we see is when our kids are placed in Muncie or Anderson, it makes it harder for visitation with the parents,” Arrowood said. “The parents traveling, or the children are traveling, and how late are they staying out after school because they have an hour for traveling here and an hour for traveling back, then they have an hour and a half visit. It just makes it more difficult when our kids are placed out of county.” Justice noted that it also is hard on the foster parents, trying to figure out a child’s schedule, with counseling, school activities and so forth.

She also pointed out that other counties are experiencing the same problems Wabash is, so some of those homes may have children from outside of Wabash County living with
them. “I think it’s important because it’s focusing on how to prevent abuse,” Justice said. “Every child deserves a happy and healthy childhood,”
Arrowood added. “By volunteering at the schools or at daycare, things like that give children good, happy memories no matter what kind of situation they may come into.”

Building commissioners explain need for building permits By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The coming of spring means the building season is once again upon us. Because of that, building commissioners in both Wabash and North Manchester are reminding residents about the need for building permits. The North Manchester Building Department receives numerous calls asking if a permit is needed for a specific p r o j e c t , Commissioner Bernie Ferringer said. In general, he continued, there are various projects that would require a permit, including making an addition to a building, doing a remodeling project that involves load bearing walls, new electrical or plumbing, or those that will cost more than
$1,500. Projects such as storage buildings, in-ground and aboveground swimming pools and wood decks also require a building permit, he added. The minimum cost for a building permit is $20. The cost of the permit can be more, depending on the size of the project, Ferringer said. There also is an inspection fee charged on many projects. The inspection fee varies depending on the project, and offsets the cost of the building inspector who will visit the site during the projects to assure the work meets the minimum standards set by the State of Indiana. The inspections are meant to assist the contractor and assure property owners that the work is being done using standard building practices, Ferringer said. The same basic
rules from North Manchester apply to Wabash, Building Commissioner John Stephens said. However, the cost of projects needing permits In Wabash is $2,500, he said. Wabash building permits range from $15 to $350, he said, noting the cost of the permit is dependent on the project. “Once your building permit is obtained, the building will be inspected to assure compliance with regulatory building codes,” Stephens said. All contractors performing work in the Wabash jurisdictional limit are required to obtain registration with the city’s Building D e p a r t m e n t , Stephens noted. The registration requires proof of liability and workman’s compensation insurance in order to protect the property owners. Permits also are
required for political signs, Stephens continued. The signs cannot be placed between the sidewalk and curb or closer than eight free from the pavement, where no sidewalk exists. The maximum size of the signs are 10square-feet and can be placed up to 30 days prior to the election and need to be removed within five days after the election. North Manchester building permits are issued for the town of North Manchester and a one-mile area surrounding the town’s city limits. Wabash’s permits are issued for the City of Wabash and the surrounding jurisdictional limit to the city’s corporate limits. Those with questions on permits may call Ferringer at 260901-3323 or Stephens at 260-563-4171, Ext. 408.

Several blood drives planned in April By The Paper staff There will be several American Red Cross blood drives around Wabash County in April. Drives are planned: • 11 a.m. - 5 p.m., April 21, First United Methodist Church, 110 N. Cass St. in Wabash. • 11:30 a.m. - 5 p.m., April 22, Manchester University Student Union, 604 E. College Ave. in North Manchester. • 11 a.m. - 4 p.m., April 27, Miller’s Merry Manor East, 1900 Alber St. in Wabash. • Noon-6 p.m. April 30, Manchester Church of the Brethren, 1306 Beckley St. in North Manchester. Donated blood is perishable and must be constantly replenished to keep up with the demand. Red blood cells, with a shelf life of only 42 days, are the most frequently transfused blood component, and are always needed by hospitals. Eligible donors can give red cells through either a regular whole blood donation or a double red cell donation, where available. Double red cell donations yield twice the usual amount of red cells in a single appointment and are
accepted at select donation locations. Double red cell donors must meet additional eligibility criteria, which will be determined at the donation appointment. Donors with all blood types are needed, especially those with types O negative, A negative and B negative. Whole blood can be donated every 56 days, and double red cells may be donated every 112 days, up to three times per year. Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1800-RED CROSS (1800-733-2767) to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Squires nipped by Wayne It’s a new season!!!! By Gary Andrews
NORTH MANCHESTER — Thirteen hits weren’t enough for the Manchester baseball team as it lost a shootout, 9-8 in seven innings, to Fort Wayne Wayne on Wednesday. The Squires grabbed a 1-0 lead in the second when Zach Hill led off with a single and advanced to second on a throwing
error. Hill then advanced to third on a David McAtee grounder before Rylie Rickert grounded out to second, scoring Hill. Wayne would erupt for 4 runs in the top of the third to grab a 4-1 lead with the Squires responding with a run. McNall started off the inning with a single and was moved to second on a Branden Scott single. Thad Miller then walked to load the
bases with one out with McNall scoring on a two out Zach Hill single to make it 4-2. In the top of the fifth Wayne would rally again, scoring 3 times to increase their lead to 7-2, but the Squires were not done. In the bottom of the inning Thad Miller led off with a single and was followed by an Evan Milam single. With one out David McAtee doubled to left, scoring Miller and putting
runners on second and third. With two outs Kane Gable walked to load the bases when McNall walked to score a run, making it 7-4. Bailey Ness then singled home two more runs as the Squires trailed 7-6 after five. Wayne would add another run in the top of the sixth, but the Squires would draw even in the bottom. Thad Miller was hit by a pitch and moved to second on an Evan
Milam single. David McAtee would then connect for a one out single that scored Miller to make it 8-7, but the Squires were not done. Rylie Rickert would then single, scoring Milam to knot the score at 8 with one inning to go. Wayne would score a run in the top of the 7th on two base hits and a sac fly to grab a 9-8 lead, then strike out three Squires in the bottom for the 9-8 final score.
Miller to play football at Franklin By Gary Andrews
NORTH MANCHESTER — Manchester senior Thad Miller signed his letter of intent Tuesday to play football at Franklin College next year. Miller was the heart of the linebacker core for the Squires this past season. Miller said he chose Franklin “because it’s a small school with small classes which I will do better in being
from a small town. They have a good football program, winning the conference the past seven or eight years.” Miller said he would see special teams action his freshman season. “They are thin at the linebacker position so I could get some starts with a lot of rotation at that position,” he added. Miller will study Biology while at Franklin.

He is joined by his parents, Darla Miller (front row, from left) and Grant Miller, along with Manchester Athletic Director Jeremy Markham (back row), Manchester football coach Greg Miller and principal Nancy Alspaugh.

The Lady Knights would take the early 1-0 lead when Brooke Elliott led off with a walk and stole second before scoring on a sacrifice and wild pitch to give Southwood a 1-0 lead. The Norse would
answer with four runs in the bottom of the inning. Kianna Kendall led off with a single then moved to second on a Paige Holley single. A pass ball advanced both runners before Lauren Early singled home Kendall to tie the score at one, then took a 2-1 lead when Holley scored on the throw. Breanna Burcroff would then be hit by a pitch to put runners on first and second before a pass ball moved both a base. A wild pitch would then score Early and advance Burcroff to third when Abby
Keaffaber grounded out to score Burcroff to make it 4-1. The Norse would tack on six runs in the second when Holley tripled home two runs before scoring on a bad throw to make it 7-1. Early would then single and score on a Keaffaber double to make it 8-1. Keaffaber would score on a Knight error and was followed by Burcroff scoring on a play to first to make it 10-1 after two. The Norse would increase the lead to 12-1 after three when Shelby Ward walked
and moved to third on a Kendall single. Kendall advanced to second on the throw to third. Holley grounded out to score Ward and was followed by Kendall scoring on an Early grounder to short. The Lady Knights would make some noise in the fifth when Abby Grossnickle drew a one out walk and was followed by a Meranda Friend single. On the arrant Norse throw Grossnickle would score with Friend reaching third. Bailey Lundmark then singled home Friend to make it 12-3 with
Lundmark advancing to second on the throw. Paige Dempsey would then draw a walk and was followed by an rbi single from Makayla Ridgeway to make it 12-4. The Lady Norse answered with one run in the bottom of the inning when Abby Keaffaber drove a shot over the center field fence for a solo home run to make it 134. In the bottom of the sixth Michelle Hunt led off with a double and later scored on a Kendall single for the 14-4 final.
By Bill Barrows Anybody who knows me knows that I am a baseball nut. Several years ago when BaskinsRobbins had as one of their 33 flavors, “Baseball Nut;” my daughter thought it was named for me. The ice cream concoction was vanilla ice cream laced with raspberry swirl with cashews. I liked it, but not as much as the game itself……and I’m still waiting on my royalties from Baskin-Robbins. As the dawn of a new baseball season unfolds, I am ready. The final game of the World Series in the fall is bittersweet for me. It celebrates the culmination of a great postseason. But it also means there is no more baseball until spring. I count down the days until spring training starting about Nov. 1. I follow the hot stove league, which is the activity of all of the teams in making trades and signing free agents all winter long. But I live for the beginning of April. Baseball is a six-month comfort. A friend that arrives in April and stays until October. He’s here every night and on Sunday afternoons. He comes bearing simple promises: A warm night on the deck out back. A perspiring bottle of liquid refreshment on an arm of an Adirondack chair. The crickets chirping in the night. The familiar voice coming from the radio or the TV. The night invades, the moon rises in judgment. A favorite slugger sends one into the visitor’s bullpen. And we get to do it all again tomorrow night. I don’t mind the second level when I go to games. When I’m not in the press box, I like the view from somewhere between the third base dugout to the first base dugout, a panoramic view, the endless possibilities of the field below me. A random night in July is good. Warm, with a slight breeze blowing the flag in centerfield. A smooth right hander throwing curveballs, the home favorite playing their top rivals, with an occasional patsy in between to keep the pressure off. A decent but not overwhelming crowd, the lulling action of the game accompanied by the breeze that blows back my hair, what hair I have left……… Baseball can be a job for me, but also an arm’s-length pleasure, whether I am coaching or broadcasting. Baseball doesn’t require devout attention or chest-bumping passion. You can enjoy it without wallowing in it. That makes it different from football or basketball. You can choose to be as engaged as you like. You can study the positioning of the fielders when a dead-pull hitter is batting. You can note with approval when the umpire is giving the corners of the plate to a control pitcher. For a fan, baseball has a direct way to your heart. Following the game throughout the season will be like watching a time-lapse video of a flower opening. The teams have so many players walking the wire between career happiness and “what if ”. So many players, on the cusp of something. Stardom isn’t always about having the best skill. It’s a complex alchemy of timing, confidence, perseverance and chance. You can have great ability that never blooms. Some players are on the verge of stardom. Watching their progress will be fascinating. A fast start is in easy reach. That’s the optimism of Opening Day. Regardless, the comfort of the game doesn’t change. So grab a beverage, a bag of peanuts, get to a local ball park and watch high school action or tune in on TV, pull up a chair and some baseball. Starting this week, and all summer long. Best friends again, from now until autumn.

Knights fall in opener to Northwestern

Southwood catcher Jacob Lloyd tags out a Northwestern runner trying to score. Photo by Gary Andrews By Gary Andrews The Southwood baseball team opened its season Tuesday, March 31, hosting Northwestern, falling to the Tigers 5-2. The game was scoreless after two innings with the lone hit being a double from Brandin Frazier before things changed in the third. Knight pitcher Brennan Kelly walked the first batter before promptly picking him off. After striking out the second batter the Knights would give up
a runner on an error before a walk and a two out, two-run double gave Northwestern a 2-0 lead. After the third walk of the inning the Tigers would use the long ball to grab a 5-0 lead heading to the bottom of the inning. The Knights would get part of the deficit back in the bottom of the inning when Nathan Hollars was hit by a pitch with two outs and was followed by a Robbie Cole single to put runners on second and third after the throw.
Christian Deeter then drew a walk to load the bases when Jacob Lloyd doubled home two runs to make it 5-2. Southwood got a lead-off single from Clay Hinrichsen in the fourth, but was caught stealing for the first out. With two outs Dustin Curless and Matt Cox drew walks but the Knights failed to plate a run. It looked like Northwestern would increase its lead in the fifth when the Knight defense came up big. With one out
the Tigers would single then rope a double that a diving Matt Cox just missed with Dustin Curless hitting Nathan Hollars who relayed a bullet to Jacob Lloyd at the plate for the tag out. Pitcher Jonathan Collins then forced a grounder for the out as the Knights got out of the inning. Neither team could muster a hit the remainder of the game as Northwestern held on for the 5-2 win.

“Patriotic Rhapsody” by Callahan. Upcoming events include Musicale’s Guest Night Program at the First Methodist Church on Tuesday, April 21. Hostesses were Connie Doud, Carolyn Eppley and Luvernia Wilson.
Early voting to begin April 20... continued from the front page Clerk Elaine Martin told The Paper of Wabash County that there was little early voting during the 2011
municipal election. “In 2011 primary we only had 124 absentee votes,” she said, noting that included walk-ins,
mail, and the traveling election board. Any registered voter in the County of Wabash may vote
at any of the vote center locations. A voter is no longer limited to voting in their home precinct since Wabash
County switched to
the vote center con-
cept of voting begin-
ning with the 2014 elections.

Health survey reveals Wabash County adult smoking cut by 10% YMCA to offer Cessation diet, exercise, and support group By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com In the last five years, 10 percent of Wabash County smokers kicked habit and lowered the county’s smoking population to less than 20 percent, according to Wabash County Health Rankings and Roadmaps survey. In 2010, 30 percent of Wabash County adults smoked while 26 percent of Indiana’s overall population. In 2014 and
the attention we’re having there, we’re promoting that we’re a community to visit, to come and see,” he said. “We’re also emphasizing the importance of health and tobacco (education) needs to be a part of that. “I think that if Wabash were to adopt a policy to go smoke-free, it would set a precedence for the reset of the state. I think Wabash wants to be a leader in this state and we are, but this would be something that would really show that we’re more than just the average community.” To help support the
2015, the county’s tobacco users have remained constant at 19 percent, under the state average of 23 percent. “I think getting below the state average is remarkable because you look at the other counties around us and they just aren’t there yet,” said Dan Gray, Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition director. The county still has a long ways to go with smoking and overall health, Gray said, but he’s excited in the direction that the community’s going. “I think with the Stellar grant and all

last 19 percent kick the habit, the YMCA in partnership with the Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition will begin o f f e r i n g “Sensational” Cessation classes starting April 15. The five-week program will run from April 15 to May 13 from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. and include instruction on how to quit, a workbook to guide through the classes, diet and exercise information and instruction, and stress release techniques to help overcome the urge to use tobacco. During the five weeks, participants will receive free access to the Y’s facilities and refunded their registration fee if they complete the five weeks. Registration for the classes is $20 and available at the YMCA front desk. “I think it is important for people to recognize that tobacco is the number one cause of preventable disease and death,” Gray said. “If we’re able to get people to understand that and understand what they’re doing to their bodies, I think it would make a larger impact on how people respond use and second-hand smoke, because it’s just as deadly.” For more information on the Cessation classes or questions on how to quit, contact Dan Gray at 260-274-2920.

(From left) Eli, John, and Jake Schuler were the only participants in Northfield’s FFA Tractor Day, originally expecting more members to take part in the event. However, they said were happy to participate in the FFA tradition and show pride for their club. Photo by Emma Rausch By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Three Northfield High School students drove tractors to school Wednesday morning as a part of “tradition,” according to Eli Schuler, Northfield junior and FFA member. On April 1, Eli, junior Jake Schuler, and freshman John Schuler participated in FFA Tractor Day where members are invited to drive their farm vehicles to school instead of their usual form of
transportation. “It shows FFA pride,” John said. “It’s a fun old tradition,” Eli added. “It’s nice to get them cleaned up and parade them around. “I know as a little kid, I enjoyed seeing the guys drive around. It’s something we’ve always wanted to do.” Typically, the day would take place during FFA Week. However, due to inclement weather, the Northfield club decided to move the day to the week before spring break.
Because their families have a legacy of belong to FFA, Jake, his brother John, and cousin Eli decided that they wanted to continue another tradition as well. “Both of our families farm,” Jake said. “Our dads are in FFA and our grandpa was, so it’s something to keep going, I guess.” “FFA’s a great program,” Eli added. “It’s all the young farmers that are going to grow up and feed the world. So I guess appreciate your local FFA member and support your farmers.”

Wednesday March 31 marked the 135th anniversary of the day Wabash became the first electrically lighted city in the world and the grand opening of the Wabash County Historical Museum’s new exhibit. The “Dr. Charles F. Brush: An Electric Dynamo” exhibit, now open to the public, commemorates Dr. Charles F. Brush, the man responsible for lighting the city in 1880. In 1876, Brush designed his version of the “dynamo” generator, later “claiming that he could light an entire city with it,” according to Museum Director Mitch Figert.
Piper Ellet builds a circuit at the new “Dr. Charles F. Brush” exhibit in the Wabash County Historical Museum.

THE PAPER 26 Historical Society program on Hessian soldiers in the American Revolution www.thepaperofwabash.com
By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — German Hessian soldiers served as mercenaries for the British army in the A m e r i c a n Revolution. Many stayed on in the new United States. Why did they come, and where did they go? Local historian Ferne Baldwin will
tell their story at the monthly program hosted by the North M a n c h e s t e r Historical Society at 6:40 p.m. Monday, April 13, in the T i m b e r c r e s t Assembly Room. Baldwin’s presentations at the Historical Society meetings are popular offerings, Historical Society President Mary Chastril said, noting
April 8, 2015
that Baldwin describes her program as telling interesting stories about real people. Baldwin became interested in stories about the Hessians through her work in genealogy. “I did one project for a family that had Hessian ancestors, and I began to realize what they did,” she said. “It was fascinating, and I want-
ed to share that information.” Baldwin is a wellknown figure at Timbercrest, where she hosts a monthly Life Time Learning program. She describes herself as having three distinct careers: private secretary, missionary, and college teacher. She also served as president of the North M a n c h e s t e r
Historical Society for 10 years, board member for more than 20 years, and publisher of its newsletter for 11 years. The program will be held in the Assembly Room of Timbercrest Senior Living Community, 2201 East St. There is no cost for the program, which is free to the public. All are welcome.
While many attend only the program, the public is also invited to come to the Assembly Room at 6 p.m. for a meal prior to the program. For those who wish to attend the dinner, reservations must be made no later than noon on Friday, April 10. The cost of the meal is $8.50. The menu is sliced turkey with
gravy, mashed potatoes with gravy, vegetable blend, tossed salad with dressing and blueberry pie. Reservations may be made by calling Evelyn at 260-9826777, Mary at 260982-1813 or the Center for History at 260-982-0672.

Torch relay part of Indiana bicentennial celebration By The Paper staff
A 2,300-mile torch relay through all 92 Indiana counties will be a signature event of the state’s bicentennial celebrations in 2016. The relay is expected to arrive in Wabash County in September 2016. Inspired by the
torch of liberty and enlightenment featured on the state flag, the Olympicstyle relay is designed to connect Hoosiers, communities and regions during the torch’s sixweek journey across the state. The relay will start in the Ohio River
town of Corydon, Indiana’s first capital, and travel via foot, watercraft, tractor, race car, horse and buggy, antique automobile and other modes of transportation en route to an arrival celebration at the Statehouse in Indianapolis.
The torch is slated to make its debut in Wabash County Sept. 28, 2016. A local committee has been formed to coordinate the bicentennial activities taking place throughout Wabash County. Committee members include Laura Rager, Bev
Vanderpool, Howard Kaler, Mitch Figert, Karen Fawcett, Tenille Zartman, Darcy Vail and Beth Miller. Christine Flohr, director of tourism, will serve as liaison between state and local organizers. A preliminary map shows the relay
entering Wabash County from the north and exiting the county from the south into Grant County. Accompanying the torch will be a traveling museum highlighting important milestones during the 200 years since Indiana achieved
statehood on Dec. 11, 1816. The torch itself will be designed by engineering faculty and students at Purdue University. For more information regarding the torch relay and other bicentennial celebrations scheduled for 2016, visit www.indiana2016.org
22 attend Wabash Valley Turner joins New Saw Dust Gang meeting Beginnings staff Article provided Twenty-two members spent their Saturday afternoon with Dr. Don Musselman, a luthier. A luthier is one who makes guitars, violins, and lutes. Musselman is known as a fiddle maker. He held the members in complete awe as he explained the history of string instruments. About the year 1530 a luther from Crimana, Antonio
Stradivarius, advanced the richness in tone by modifying the violin slightly. The finish coating has not been able to be duplicated. Modern violin construction deals with two woods, spruce on the back and maple for the top, sides and neck. Modern tools have almost no place in the challenging art. Musselman displayed his tools including tiny thump planes and scrapers for precision instru-
ments. He said that 61 separate parts were use in the construction of one instrument. The clamps and jigs were well used and surprisingly allowed almost no exact duplication of one violin for another. Shaving the back down to less than one-quarter inch thickness while keeping necessary curves to allow the pleasant condition of sound is critical part of this art. A f t e r w a r d ,
Musselman played the fiddle members.. For show and Tell Fred showed pictures of the dresser he had been working on for his grandson. Three new attendees were among the 22 prese n t . Visitors and those interested in woodworking are invited, as always, the second Saturday of each month. at 2 p.m.. Those interested in the group should call Dick Johnson at 1 765 506 3667.

27 City orders home demolished … again THE PAPER
www.thepaperofwabash.com
April 8, 2015
By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com
The future of a home at 7 Elmwood Drive has been settled. The Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety, by a 2-1 vote on Wednesday, April 1, voted to have the home demolished. Board member Dee Byerly voted against the measure. This is the second time that the Board has ordered the home to be demolished. However, as in the past, the decision wasn’t made without lengthy debate. The decision came after Wabash Circuit Court Judge Robert McCallen III ruled in favor of the city in an injunction filed by the estate of the late owner, Jo Jinks Dietzer, and her daughter, Louise Dietzer Young. At Wednesday’s meeting, local contractor Corky Ross was on hand, asking the board to give him time to negotiate a purchase of the property from the Dietzer estate. He told the board that he made an offer for the property to Young during a conversation the night before the board meeting. He has not received a response to the offer. City Attorney Doug Lehman said he had indicated to the estate that if Young had plans to proceed with a sale it would be best if she or her attorney, Kristina Lynn, appear at Wednesday’s board meeting to discuss details. Neither were at the meeting. Ross told the board he visited the site and came up with a list of improvements he would make in order to resell the property. The improvements, he estimated, would cost about $45,000. “I’ve been through it twice already,” Ross said. “It’s savable.” It does have major damage to the rear roof above what he called a rec room. “I was up in the attic,” he said. “There’s only two places, besides what I just spoke about, where the plywood subsurface is showing deterioration or rot, and that’s in front of the house where the major picture window is.” The walls are in good shape, he said.
Windows need updating, and the basement, which had already had water pumped out by the city, again has about 3 or 4 feet of water in it. He also said he planned to put in new drywall, insulation and wiring throughout the home to make sure everything is up to code. He also planned on putting in new flooring and a new heat and air conditioning unit. However, some board members balked at the idea of granting an extension so a sale could be negotiated between Ross and the estate. “Sitting here on April 1, there’s not even an agreement to sell the thing,” board member Greg Metz said. “We would have been done with this six weeks ago if an appeal that they lost had not been filed. My question would be why was there not an agreement to sell the place, contingent upon the action of this board, in that sixweek period? “I have absolutely no desire to extend this any longer. Those neighbors have been waiting way too long for something to be done.” Both he and Ross agreed that it was a shame that the house would have to be demolished. Mayor Robert Va n l a n d i n g h a m noted that when Young first appeared before the board on Dec. 17, “I said to her, get the water out, patch that roof, and we’ll be reasonable about giving you some time. That hasn’t been done.” Metz reiterated, “I have no interest in extending this any longer, personally. It’s not right for those neighbors, period.” However, Byerly disagreed. “I hate to spend money of the taxpayers to tear something down, by God, where there’s an opportunity to save something,” he said. “We ain’t got money to throw away to some of these places down. “On the other hand, I see what Greg’s saying, the neighbors deserve better treatment. But I think we have an obligation to look at what we’re spending.” Metz said he understood Byerly’s point of (continued on page 28)

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety is requesting that Eric Phillips appear before it at its April 15 meeting. Phillips owns the home at 458 N. Allen St., and told the board last year that he would repair the structure after it was damaged in an October 2013 fire. Board members are asking for an update on the progress of the work, or it might consider having the structure town down. City Attorney Doug Lehman reminded the board that it had previously found the building to be an unsafe structure and issued an order for it to be demolished within 30 days. However, Phillips, a Hillsboro resident, appeared before the board and promised to repair the structure, convincing the board to extend the demolition order. “We can take bids on it at any time, and once we take bids we can issue a 10-day notice, saying that 10 days, or as soon there after as possible, we will begin to tear it down,” Lehman said. “We don’t have to hold another hearing or anything. That part’s all been done. “It’s just a matter of what you want to do.” Building Commissioner John Stephens said Phillips did repair the outside of the structure that was damaged by the fire. “As far as the inside, I don’t know because when he works it’s usually on the weekend, and I haven’t had access to it,” he said. Board member Greg Metz sought to clarify Stephens’ comments, asking if Phillips had secured the building. Stephens said confirmed he did. “There’s a difference between securing and repairing,” Metz said. “Securing tends to be plywood, and repairing looks good.” Metz broached the idea of having Phillips appear at the next board meeting. “And, at the same time, I wouldn’t hesitate at least going out and get quotes for demolition,” he continued. “Because if he doesn’t show up, we’re going to tear it down. If it’s (continued on page 28)

F.I.S.H. gets new board president financial donations. The organization is now serving more families than ever, since its inception in 1980. Currently they are in need of spaghetti noodles, spaghetti sauce and canned goods. Those in need of food should call Shoue, 260-563-5151, during F.I.S.H. hours of operation.

City orders home demolished … again ... continued from page 27 view. “But I can promise you this, two weeks from now there’s no reason for me to think we’re not going to be having the exact, same conversation,” he said. “Because there’s never been any evidence that this house is intended to be saved by the owner
of the property, period. “I hate spending this money … but it won’t get better.” Earlier this year, Brainard Excavating received the contract to demolish the home. After the injunction was issued by the Circuit Court, the firm was told not to
proceed until further notice. Now, before it can tear down the home, the city must once again pump out the water that has pooled in the basement. Once that is done, city officials speculated, Brainard will be prepared to do the work.
City seeks update on Allen Street structure ... continued from page 27 not important enough for him to come to the next meeting, or give us a pretty good situation why he couldn’t … then there’s no point in waiting to the next meeting to do anything. We might
as well be prepared if we have to move forward with it.” Lehman said the letter to Phillips should explain to him that the board would like to give him a chance to explain to it
what he has done with the structure and what he’s going to do and when. “Otherwise, we’re going to proceed with the demolition,” he said.
Recently the board members of F.I.S.H. of Wabash, Inc. elected Brett Wynn as the President of the Board of Directors. Wynn will replace Sue Potter, who will remain as a member of the board. F.I.S.H., which stands for Friends in Service Here, is a local Christian-based food pantry located in the Women’s Club building next to the Wabash City Park. F.I.S.H. is open from Tuesday through Friday, 10 am to 1pm. F.I.S.H. gladly accepts food and

out the Midwest and supports several guide businesses. Guides say muskie catches have dropped in recent years, although last year was reportedly better. “It’s been 10 years since we’ve taken a close look at Webster’s muskie fishery,” said Jed Pearson, DNR fisheries biologist. “It’s time to check it again.” Pearson has overseen the Lake Webster muskie program since the late 1970s. He and his crew will set traps in the lake and nearby backwater area in April to estimate adult muskie numbers. They also will conduct a summer-long angler survey to monitor fishing effort and catches. In June, Pearson will survey the entire fish community. The results will be compared to previous surveys and will guide any management c h a n g e s . The DNR stocks about 3,800 muskie fingerlings in Lake Webster each year. They typically measure 8-10 inches long when released. The fingerlings come from eggs taken from adult muskies cap-
tured each spring at Webster. They are reared in state hatcheries. Although the spring catch rate of muskies remains high, biologists have noted a decrease in young muskies. “The percentage of muskies less than 36 inches long has dropped in half during the past 10 years,” Pearson said. “Last year we caught only one muskie less than 30 i n c h e s . ” Reasons for the decline are unknown. It is possible that adult muskies are preying on newly stocked muskies, especially if populations of other forage fish such as gizzard shad have declined.
“Other factors could
be changes in hatchery
production techniques
and declines in habitat q

“We’ll have a much bet-

pening after this year
and make adjustments if
needed,” Pearson
said.

Applications being accepted for first ASAP class in Ivy Tech’s Kokomo Region By the Ivy Tech News Bureau KOKOMO — With a new coordinator at work, Ivy Tech Community College Kokomo Region is accepting applications for the first group of students to enroll in its new Associate Accelerated Program (ASAP). ASAP provides select Ivy Tech students with the opportunity to earn an associate degree, traditionally a two-year program, in just 11 months. Beth Chaney, an Ivy Tech alumna who has worked in various positions at Ivy Tech since 2009, has been named coordinator of the program. She is busy right now meeting with high school students and recruiting members for the Kokomo ASAP class of 2016. “The ASAP program has been extremely successful in the nine Ivy Tech locations around Indiana where it has been implemented and we are excited to
be bringing the ASAP program to the Kokomo area,” Chaney said. “It’s a tremendous opportunity for traditionalage, qualified, and motivated students to save a great deal of time and money and get a jump-start on their careers or further education.” The Kokomo Region’s 2015-16 program will launch June 8 with a maximum of 24 students participating in the 11-month program. Priority deadline for enrollment is April 10, but students will be considered on an individual basis after that date if openings remain in the class. “In ASAP, students are encouraged to think of school as a full-time job. They are given mentoring, guidance, and support during the program,” Chaney said. “Students will stay with the same group of peers, known as a cohort, throughout the year, allowing them to share successes and overcome challenges together – just as they would with their co-workers in future careers.
“Students leave having not only earned a degree, but with skills that are critical to their future success, like time management and teamwork,” she continued. “Graduates can take their associate degree right into the workforce or transfer their credits to a four-year college. With ASAP, that traditional four-year degree can be completed in three years.” ASAP is open to students not older than 21 years of age, who have a family member or guardian who agrees to provide room and board for one year, and who have earned a minimum 2.5 grade point average in high school with a good attendance record. The program requires a full-time commitment with full days of class work Mondays through Thursdays and a day for special enrichment activities on Fridays. Applications for the ASAP program are reviewed on a firstcome, first-served basis. The process begins by filling out an Interest Form at
" ! AU11200110
AC31300002
ivytech.edu/ASAP . Students with questions also can contact Chaney directly at bchaney1@ivytech.ed u or 765-459-0651, ext. 397. Chaney noted tuition for the ASAP associate degree totals $7,569, compared with an average of $28,000 in tuition for a two-year degree from other Indiana colleges. And, she said, by living at home, the student and family save the cost of two years of room and board at a residential school. Fellowships of $2,500 are available to qualified students and additional support is available to students in the 21st Century Scholar program. Data from Ivy Tech campuses already offering ASAP indicate that nearly 70 percent of the students complete the program in one year, as much as five times higher than the average on-time completion rates of students in traditional programs. Nearly 70 percent of ASAP graduates so far have transferred to a four-year college to continue their education and 100 percent of ASAP graduates have been accepted into one or more four-year transfer institutions. Chaney’s post-high school educational journey began at Ivy Tech, where she earned a technical
certificate in dental assisting in 2005 and entered that field. With patient loads dwindling in 2009 as the recession deepened, she returned to Ivy Tech to complete the associate degree she had started in 2001. She completed her Associate of Arts degree in General Studies in May 2011 and transferred her credits to Indiana University Kokomo where she completed her bachelor’s degree in the fall of 2012. Starting as a switchboard operator when she returned to Ivy Tech in 2009, she has served the College in a variety of capacities since then, including Corporate College and Event Center support staff member, assistant to the dean of Nursing and associate director of Financial Aid before taking on the ASAP role. “I am excited to be working with these young students with the opportunity to give them the mentoring and positive encouragement needed to reach their goals,” Chaney said. “This accelerated program may lead many students to a future they didn’t think possible. The money saved by getting an associate degree in just 11 months may open the door to continued education that had been an unattainable dream.”

THE PAPER 36 Attorney Mark Frantz joins Tiede Metz Downs Tandy & Petruniw, P.C. www.thepaperofwabash.com
By The Paper staff
MARK FRANTZ
Attorney Mark A. Frantz has joined the law firm of Tiede Metz Downs Tandy & Petruniw, P.C. Frantz grew up in North Manchester and graduated from Manchester High School in 2005. He graduated from Indiana University in 2009 with a
April 8, 2015
Bachelor of Science degree in Finance. He then attended V a l p a r a i s o University School of Law, where he graduated magna cum laude in 2012. While in law school, Frantz did an externship with the United States District Court in South Bend. He was also the associate
editor of the V a l p a r a i s o University Law Review. Managing partner Stephen H. Downs said “we are extremely excited to have Mark joining us.” “He’s a very intelligent young man with Wabash County roots,” Downs continued. “We’re
pleased that he decided to return home to assist people with their legal needs.” Prior to joining Tiede Metz Downs Tandy & Petruniw, Frantz worked at the Wallace Law Firm in Clinton. “Mark will be a great asset to our firm and to Wabash”, said attorney Jordan
L. Tandy. “He is excited about getting out and meeting people and becoming involved in the community.” Frantz’s practice will focus on civil litigation in the areas of family law, property law and business law. Tiede Metz Downs Tandy & Petruniw is a full-service law
firm with offices in Wabash and North Manchester. Its Wabash office is located at the historic KoWeBa building at 99 West Canal St. in downtown Wabash. Attorney Albert J. Schlitt manages the firm’s North Manchester office.
Northern Indiana river tailwaters offer walleye fishing The coming of spring marks a surge in walleye fishing opportunities in river tailwaters below major dams throughout northern Indiana. River walleyes begin to migrate upstream by mid-March in search of spawning habitat. Where
blocked by dams, they congregate in large n u m b e r s . “Avid walleye anglers have fished these areas for years,” DNR fisheries biologist Neil Ledet said. “We want to encourage other fishermen to give it try.” Hot tailwater loca-
tions include the Tippecanoe River below the Oakdale Dam near Monticello, the St. Joseph River below the Elkhart Dam in Elkhart County, and the Salamonie River below the Salamonie Dam in Wabash County. Anglers also
should try two hot spots in Fort Wayne. They are the Maumee River below the Hosey Dam and the St. Joseph River below the dam at Johnny Appleseed Park. Walleye fishing can be more productive when water levels drop after a period of
runoff. The increased flow triggers walleye to move upstream, and the declining flow helps concentrate t h e m . Walleyes are not built to swim against a strong current for long periods, so anglers can find them on the edge of eddies,
behind boulders or anything that provides a break from current. Anglers also should look for areas of slow current near the bank, especially after sunset. Ledet suggests fishing with white or chartreuse lead-head jigs, or suspended jerk
baits with rattles. Walleyes are most active on overcast days and the first couple hours after sunset and before sunrise. Some walleye anglers wade, which can be treacherous during high flow. Most areas can be fished from the bank.
Take a closer look at RFRA Dear Editor Some facts about the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) that the liberal media are not telling us and many may not know: The original RFRA came at the federal level in 1993 and passed unanimously in the House and Senate. Some of the sponsors were none other than Nancy
Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Ted Kennedy - and it was signed into law by Bill Clinton. The bill does not allow discrimination. Never has. Not true. Sixteen law professors signed a letter to the Indiana Senate Judiciary Committee stating, “The most common charge opponents make against RFRA legislation is
Letters to the editor policy The editorial staff of The Paper invites readers to submit letters to the editor on timely issues. To ensure fairness to everyone, we have established the following guidelines: Mailed and faxed letters must be signed. All submissions, including by e-mail, must include an address and daytime telephone number for verification. The editor reserves the right to edit letters for length, content and readability. Also, per the editor’s judgment, personal attacks, inflammatory statements and legally objectionable material will not be printed. The editor must also limit readers to submitting a maximum of two letters per month, regardless of whether previous letters have been published, due to space allotments in each weekly issue. Please limit all letters to 500 words or less.
that it is a ‘license to discriminate.’ It is no such thing.” The First Amendment clearly states, “Congress shall make no law… prohibiting the free exercise of religion…” However, the United States Supreme Court in1990 turned the law upside down. RFRA was enacted by Congress to protect religious belief from government control. That’s all the law does. Because the Supreme Court then said in 1997 that it did not apply to the states, 19 states then enacted legislation to protect religious freedom, including Illinois where then-senator Barak Obama voted in favor of it. 11 other states enacted it with constitutional law, stating that if a person has a sincerely held religious belief the government can not force them to violate that. Indiana simply caught up with 30 other states. (You wouldn’t know that from what the liberal media and Hollywood has been saying, would you?) If conventions can’t come to Indiana because of this law, then they can’t go to 30 other states either – including Florida. This is not discrimination. It is about protecting religious free-
dom here in Indiana. This law has been around since 1993 and not one single case of it being used to justify discrimination against a homosexual has been recorded. This law protects religious freedom, plain and simple. It protects individuals and businesses from government forcing them to violate their beliefs or put them out of business. (Should a homosexual baker be forced by the government to bake and print a cake that reads, “If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable.” (Lev. 20:13)? Should a Muslim grocer be forced by the government to sell pork? Should a Jewish gift shop be forced by the government to sell coffee cups with a Nazi symbol on them? Should an AfricanAmerican T-shirt company be forced to print KKK T-shirts? In fact, try taking a pig to the local Muslim butcher shop and ask him to fix you up with some bacon and pork chops, and see what he has to say…) Some examples of the benefit of this law: This law protects businesses from being forced to cover and pay for abortions in their health insurance policy. (See Hobby
Lobby case.) Pastors and churches could not be forced to perform same-sex marriages. Should I, and most pastors, be forced by the government against our deeply held religious beliefs to marry one man to another man? Or three men? This law protects individuals and businesses from being forced to violate their consciences. It protects them from being fined and sued. What is wrong with that? What about our rights? Truth be told, most businesses already “discriminate.” They have signs posted that clearly say, “No Shoes. No Shirt. No Service.” Why aren’t the homosexual activists and
Hollywood crowd going after them for “discrimination” against shoeless, shirtless people – or even nudists for that matter (after all, they were “born that way”.)? Because this is really about people who want to promote homosexuality and ‘sexual orientation’ including men using women’s restrooms and locker rooms OVER religious freedom. They are trying to impose their view of sexuality and saying, “If you don’t agree with us, we are going to punish you.” That’s what it comes down to. They want a government stamp of approval on their behavior. “…More than 50
cases have been decided against individuals making religious claims against Government action… our laws and institutions should not impede or hinder but rather should protect and preserve fundamental religious liberties…What this law basically says is that the Government should be held to a very high level of proof before it interferes with someone’s free exercise of religion…” - President Bill Clinton, signing the Nation’s RFRA The old saying holds true in this case: “Don’t confuse me with the facts. My mind is already made up.” — Pastor Timothy Morbitzer, North Manchester
Districts appreciate support at Roundup Dear Editor: MSD schools and Wabash City Schools gave the 2028 graduates their first exposure to school activities. During this year’s Kindergarten Roundup our future students met their teachers and school nurses. They also participated in preschool readiness screenings, and vision, dental and
lead screenings. Immunizations and fingerprints were also made available. Children could learn good hand-washing techniques and enjoy having their faces painted. Therapy dogs were available to soothe nerves and bring smiles. Hundreds of Wabash County families were able to experience this suc-
cess event because of the participation of many. They should know that they are appreciated and valued in this partnership working together for our future leaders. We sincerely thank you. – MSD of Wabash County and Wabash City Schools
