Emmanuel’s Ritzema tabbed for Australian tournament

Bill could help curb overcrowding at county jails

By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com Emmanuel Christian junior Preston Ritzema has been part of the basketball program’s last three state titles.

Now, he will have the chance to showcase his talents in Australia.

Ritzema has been invited by Down Under Sports to represent Indiana on the organization’s boys basketball team.

Ritzema will depart for Queensland, Australia, on July 14 to compete down under for individual honors and a team championship title.

Each participant must raise money to cover the cost of the 10-day Australia tournament package.

Ritzema explained that the school received a letter saying he was chosen to represent Indiana in the Down Under Sports annual basketball tournament.

“It means a lot to represent the community,” Ritzema said, “and to be able to show my basketball abilities for Indiana in the tournament.”

Ritzema said that playing basketball has helped him develop his leadership skills, as well as his ability to represent Christ.

Ritzema’s teammates will be from other states in the U.S., which will be competing against other teams from Austrailia and around the world.

Down Under Sports was founded in February 1989, based upon the dream of a New Zealander by the name of George O’Scanlon.

O’Scanlon fell in love with athletics, especially American football, growing up in his native country of New Zealand.

His desire over the years has been to promote football, not only to the people of New Zealand, but also to Australia where he lived for many years.

Work underway on Alber Street project

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The second phase of the Alber Street project began on Wednesday, April 3.

Barricades were put into place Wednesday. “(Alber) street will be closed from Euclid north to John Kissinger Drive and then from John Kissinger Drive to U.S. 24 during two phases,” Mayor Scott Long said. “The detour is currently Cass Street to Harrison Avenue to Alber Street.”

Work on the street will include creating a parking lane on the east side of Alber, as well as adding a sidewalk adjacent to the parking lane. Crews also will install new

curbs, gutters and a sewer system from Euclid Street north.

The project is expected to cost $1.097 million, with the city paying 20 percent of the cost, or roughly $219,441, Long said. The majority of the funding is through a grant from the Indiana Department of Transportation.

Broken into two phases, the city received grant money for Phase I of the project in February of 2010. Phase I is the larger of the two phases and includes the area between Cass Street and Euclid Street.

Work on that phase took place in 2014.

Between the two phases, INDOT gave the city nearly $4.5 million in grants. (continued on page 4)

A bill that is being sponsored by Indiana State Rep. Andy Zay (R-Huntington) could help overcrowding issues facing facilities like the Wabash County Jail.

The bill, House Bill 1078, passed the full senate by a vote of 46-2 last week. In a press release, Zay’s office explained that the bill would allow a court to relocate a Level 6 felony offender from a county jail to the Indiana Department of Corrections if the person is a violent offender or has two prior unrelated felony convictions.

Officials in Wabash County have long highlighted that the county needs a new jail facility.

Sheriff Ryan Baker, at the weekly County Commissioners meeting Monday, explained that the jail was housing 114 total inmates, but had to send 56 inmates to Miami County and another 13 to Elkhart County, meaning the county was responsible for 182 inmates total over the past week.

Wabash County Jail, built in 1979, has only 72 beds with a capacity for 112 inmates, is over capacity 100 percent of the time. (continued on page 4 )

Timbercrest vets take ‘Honor Flight’

Virtual reality program helps veterans see D.C. sites

By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmp aper.com

NORTH MANCHESTER — Twelve veterans residing at Timbercrest Senior

Living Community were honored for their service in the United States military and experienced an Honor Flight to Washington, D.C., via virtual reality Friday, April 5.

Honor Flight Northeast Indiana brought Washington, D.C., to Timbercrest, allowing veterans to see and hear an actual trip to memorials and other monuments representing previous wars.

“This is very meaningful, I gotta tell you,” Myrl E. Frantz said. “It’s hard to put into words. I don’t know if I have the vocabulary to say the words that I really feel.”

Frantz enlisted in 1955 because of the G.I. Bill, but it took a month longer than he hoped due to the amount of people trying to get in at the same time.

After basic training, Frantz was sent

Myrl E. Frantz is presented a hat and shirt by a member of Indiana Northeast Honor Flight.

Photo by Eric Christiansen to Keesler Air Force Base for electronic school where he went for air traffic control.

With a choice between going or Alaska or Korea, he chose Alaska where he was sent to an early warning site in King Salmon.

Frantz ended his service December

1958.

“The time went fast,” he said. “If I was asked to do it again, and I could, I would.

I would encourage anybody to do the same thing. “[Today] really puts chills up and down your back.”

Leo Judy feels the same way Frantz does.

Judy served in the Army from 1962 to 1964. Friday was his second time experiencing a virtual reality honor flight.

“This day here means a whole lot,” he said. “I have seen it once, but I wasn’t going to turn this deal down.

Al Williams took a different route than many, entering the service after finishing graduate school.

In February 1969 he went through basic

training with the assumption that everybody goes through basic infantry training.

“That happened for almost everybody in the company except six of us who were held over without orders, so we spent two to three weeks hanging around, doing odds and end,” Williams said. “Three of us got sent to the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine. We all had graduate degrees, all had backgrounds in biology.”

With that background, the three were sent to one section affiliated with the medical corp. doing human physiological research to environmental issues that would impact soldiers’ performance.

“I stepped right into a research program and spent the rest of my time after basic training involved in biological research,” he said. “It was a good experience.”

Williams has been to Washington, D.C., to see the memorials as he traveled with his family. “In that aspect of it, I wouldn’t want to have a group investing their resources in flying me to Washington, D.C., for memorials I have already seen, although the impression you receive would be very different in a group of veterans. There are a lot of veterans that would benefit a lot more.”

Gene Valentine served in the Army from June 30, 1943 to January 10, 1946. (continued on page 16)

The City of Wabash completed the cleanup of a Euclid Street home it had earlier ordered demolished.

Crews from the Wabash Street Department were at 311 Euclid St. on Friday to begin removing rubble from the home, which had been razed after it was destroyed by fire on Jan. 16. The home, owned by Don and Peggy Fraley, was ordered demolished by the Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety on Jan. 3, and the Fraleys were given 90 days to complete the work.

The Fraleys, at the April 4 Board of Works meeting, said the person who had demolished the home notified them that he wasn’t going to remove the rubble.

“We’ve messed around long enough on this,” board member Todd Titus said.

“Your intentions are good, but the neighbors have put up with this for too long.”

In another matter, the board learned that homes at 978 Mill St. and 610 High St., ordered demolished by the city, were down.

A home at 131 E. Maple St. will come down sometime after May 1, Building Commissioner Jim Straws told the board.

He said he has spoken with relatives of the owner who still had property in the home. Straws said he told them they had until May 1 to empty the site. After May 1, he said, he couldn’t guarantee the home would still be standing.

In a final matter, the board declared an emergency in order to seek repairs to the

roof at City Hall. The declaration was issued to allow the city to repair the roof as quickly as possible.

The roof has been a problem for some time. Straws noted that it was recommended in 2000 to replace the roof, but nothing was done.

Officials at Grow

Wabash County, which occupies the second floor of City Hall, have complained about water leaking from the roof into their offices.

Straws will receive quotes for the work and report back at the April 18 board meeting.

Overcrowding ...continued from Pg.1 “We have a total of 34 Level 6 felons,” Baker said. “I’m not sure how many of them are violent offenders which would meet that criteria. But, it would definitely help.

It wouldn’t solve our overcrowding issue, but it would definitely help.”

Overcrowding is not an issue in Miami County and Elkhart County, Baker explained.

Those facilities have a max bed capacity, and once they meet that, they no longer accept inmates from places like Wabash County.

C o u n t y

Commissioner chairman Barry Eppley said that while the bill in question would be a welcome relief, it would not constitute enough numbers to change the county’s urgency for a new jail.

“The numbers would be quite low that that bill would be taking elsewhere,” Eppley said. “While we would welcome that, we don’t see that as changing the overall need to (expand) inmate housing.”

Eppley said the building of a new jail is becoming a higher priority on the county’s list all the time.

In recent analysis, we’ve not seen a plan that would support the construction of a new jail. … It’s a big financial step for the community, and we’re not going to take it lightly.”

Commissions OK request for computer hardware

By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash County Commissioners approved County Recorder Eric Rish’s request to approve a contract with Fiddlar at the Monday, April 8 meeting.

Rish explained that the contract was for hardware maintenance with services costing $1,200.

Superintendent John Martin presented a revised Community Crossings matching grant fund request for the 1100 North construction project for Commissioners’ approval.

The state rejected a few items in the project from eligibility for funds. A total of $4,855 of the project is not eligible for funds, Martin explained, including items having to deal with the

Road construction General contractor for the second phase is 3D Company of Muncie.

“The anticipated completion is currently scheduled for midOctober, but is dependent on the weather during this construction and could adjust one way or the other, accordingly,” Long said.

The Alber Street project is just one road project taking place around the city this summer.

C o r r i d o r Improvements part of the Stellar Project, resumed a few weeks ago.

Two 12-foot travel lanes, along with a 14foot two-way-left-turnlane will help improve traffic flow along the roadway, according to the Stellar Quarterly Report. In addition, advanced signing will lead traffic to the heart of Wabash, and motorists will be met with a new overhead gateway feature that signifies the entry into the downtown

district at the south side of the Wabash Street bridge, the report continued.

That work is expected to continue throughout the summer.

Long also told The Paper that the city hopes to get the Wedcor Avenue reconstruction project, west of State Road 15, started in the late summer or early fall.

However, depending on the timing, that may have to wait until spring 2020.

The debt changes the county’s grant fund request from $965,986.71 to $962,345.46.

The Commissioners approved the change, and Martin said that was all the county should need to start the project.

And, Sheriff Ryan Baker gave his weekly jail report.

The average daily population at the Wabash County jail was 114, with 35 new bookings, 11 transports. The county was hosing 56 inmates in Miami County, and 13 in Elkhart County.

The jail’s peak population was 117. The jail’s current population is 116, with 182 inmates total. That total included 34 Level 6 felons. The jail as over capacity 100 percent of the time.

The reconstruction is being done to help with a new Hampton Inn slated to go in on the land just northwest of the intersection.

In addition, Long said, “we will do some mill and fill paving

projects, but I haven’t gotten the list of streets as we wanted to re-evaluate conditions after this winter.”

While not technically a road project, work was scheduled to begin April 8 on Miami Street as part of the Long Term Control Plan for sewer separation.

The city, under a mandate from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, must separate its storm and sewer lines.

Indiana American Water will conduct water main flushing in the Wabash service area April 8 – May 31, 2019 from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

The company conducts the annual maintenance program to assure highquality water service and to ensure fire hydrants are operational.

According to Wabash District Superintendent Brandon France, “Water main and fire hydrant flushing is an important part of a regular maintenance program for water distribution systems.

Indiana American Water consistently meets or exceeds all

drinking water standards.”

No interruptions in water service are anticipated as a result of the work.

Customers may experience a slight drop in water pressure or temporary water discoloration while this program is underway.

Customers should refrain from doing laundry during the time of day the flushing program is taking place in or near their neighborhood.

If tap water is discolored, Indiana American Water recommends allowing several cold-water faucets to run for a short time until the water runs clear.

Using more than one faucet allows the water to clear more quickly.

INDIANAPOLIS— For the second year in a row, the Indiana Tobacco Quitline is offering tobacco users free medication to help them quit tobacco use. The nicotine replacement therapy promotion is available now and ends when supplies run out.

In the last year, nearly 7,500 Hoosiers received a free twoweek supply of nicotine replacement therapy through the Quitline.

“Although we’re past the season of New Year’s resolutions, we want to encourage Hoosiers who use tobacco that any time is the right time to try to quit,” said Miranda Spitznagle, director of the Tobacco Prevention and C e s s a t i o n Commission at the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH).

“Tobacco users often go through several quit attempts before succeeding, but proven treatments and services are available that can improve their chances to quit for good.”

To take advantage of the free offer, tobacco users must enroll in the Indiana Tobacco Quitline, which provides a trained coach who will work with them to make a personalized quit plan. Online

counseling is also provided. Once enrolled, users will receive a two-week supply of free medication, including gum or patches.

Although it can be difficult to overcome nicotine addiction, Hoosiers do quit smoking every day.

Today, there are more former smokers than current smokers nationwide. Surveys have found that nearly 70 percent of all cigarette smokers want to quit, and research shows quitting at any age has health benefits.

“Quitting tobacco is one of the most important decisions people can make to improve their health and the health of their families,” Spitznagle said. “For those Hoosiers who are ready to quit, there are free help and resources available whenever they make that important decision.”

Counseling, including Quitline coaching, and medication are both effective, especially when used together. Medications help by decreasing urges to smoke and easing withdrawal symptoms.

Take the first step toward quitting smoking and get free help by calling the Indiana Tobacco Quitline at 1800-QUIT-NOW or by g o i n g to QuitNowIndiana.co m.

MU Student Senate OKs refugee resolution From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER — The M a n c h e s t e r University Student Senate has approved a resolution supporting and welcoming refugees.

The resolution states in part that the student body of M a n c h e s t e r University welcomes refugees and declares its support for the resettlement of refugees “no matter their religion, race, nationality, sexual

orientation, gender identity, or country of origin, in northern Indiana and calls upon other Indiana communities to join them in supporting a stronger national effort to resettle the world’s most vulnerable refugees.”

“Student Senate recognizes and understands the need for issues like this to be a part of our regular discourse, and action from us is required.

We hope that the passing of this resolution shows that students at Manchester believe in

creating a safe and respecting environment for all people,” said Gabby Anglin, Student Senate president.

After several decades of inactivity, Manchester again has an active chapter of Amnesty International. The reconstituted chapter this year so far worked for passage of the resolution through the Student Senate, conducted a Write4Rights campaign, and promoted more human rightsrelated advocacy on

Roann Heritage Group meets The Roann Heritage Group met on Tuesday, March 26, at the home of Jerry and Jo Ellen Nelson. The group was organized a few years ago by people who are devoted to keep the history of the little town of Roann alive and to continue to preserve the town for the future.

In new business, the group decided the best way to get people involved is to have a Facebook page.

Secretary Barb Burge will set that up. Check for the Roann Heritage Group Facebook page soon.

In other business, it was suggested to contact Pete Snep about adding an arrow pointing to the downtown district on the sign at the corner of Chippewa Road and State Road 16.

The group discussed many things that need to be done to ensure that the town will be able to get the grants that are available for the Main Street program that was awarded to the Town of Roann recently. Grant money is designated for certain projects, therefore, can only be used for that project. Some grants pay 100 per-

Another need is for volunteers. There are several little branches of committees that needed to be formed for Main Street to fulfill the requirements.

The Heritage Group needs sponsors and the people in the community to support the maintenance of the town. The Main Street includes Chippewa Road from State Road 16 to The Little Cathedral on the (continued on page 11

ENACTMENT OF “THE LAST SUPPER”: Can you imagine what it must have been like for those 12 disciples? You had traveled and shared your entire life with this man for three years. In your heart you believed that He was the Messiah from the sacred writings.

You believed that He could do anything He wanted to do. He could heal the sick, give sight to the blind, and even bring people back from the dead.

And now, when your group is celebrating one of the highest religious feasts of the year, He says, “One of you will betray me.”

What a shocking revelation that must have been. How could one of this most intimate, inner circle do such a thing? Come see this live presentation, based on the Gospels and DaVinci’s painting on Palm Sunday, April 14, 6 p.m. South Pleasant UMC, Hwy 15 & 1400 N, North M a n c h e s t e r.

WPD implements take-home police cars After almost a year of preparation, the Wabash Police Department has implemented take home police cars.

Cars were issued to every officer that resides in the City of Wabash.

Mayor Scott Long and Chief Matt Bruss worked together to add another vital part to community policing.

A take home car is a valuable asset to neighborhoods as the cars are visible to the public, according to a press release from

Capt. Matt Benson, the department’s Public Information Officer. Just the presence of a police car has proven to reduce crime.

Another important reason for take home cars was to provide a quicker response in the event of an emergency, he continued.

Officers can respond to an emergency from their residence when additional police officers are needed.

Officer’s residences are spread very evenly throughout our community giving a

simultaneous response from every direction. Before this new addition, officers would drive to the police department to get a car and equipment, thus wasting valuable time in the response.

Obviously, there was an initial up front cost, but Bruss has been adding police cars to the fleet over the past few years to offset the expense.

The long term effects of take home police cars actually save money.

According to statis-

tics from agencies nationwide, take home police cars are cleaner, better taken care of, have lower maintenance costs, and last three times longer than police cars that are used by several officers.

The City of Wabash is usually covered by four to five officers on duty at any given time. With take home cars there could 14-15 officers at a scene in a matter of minutes.

“Providing safety to the citizens of Wabash is our first priority,” Bruss said.

Scholarship funds raised:

Ivy Tech Community College raised $20,000 on March 22 at the Monopoly Night event. All funds will go toward scholarships to Ivy Tech students in Wabash County. The site has hosted the event for ten years, and it has raised more than $185,000 total in that time period. Funds come in from ticket sales and silent auction items. “Wabash County students are grateful to receive these scholarship funds,” says Josh Blossom, director of the Wabash County community learning center. “The scholarships are important, but the support behind the donations is just as important. Knowing that the community backs their educational goals helps our students to succeed, which builds a stronger northeast Indiana.”

“I was sent to 776 General Hospital with basic training in Camp Grant, IL,” Valentine said.

“We went from my major hospital training to Vancouver, Wash. From there, we went to England and set up a hospital there. Following the invasion into France and up in Belgium, we set up another hospital.

For Valentine, he said he is proud of his service, but it wasn’t the easiest thing to do.

“I spent from June of ‘43 trying to forget all of this,” he said. “There are some things you can’t forget.”

Ron Lambert spent his service in the National Guard with a year in the Indiana National Guard before moving to Atlanta. He was discharged from the guard and into the reserve.

He was transferred into an active Army reserve unite in East Point, Atlanta where he spent nearly four years.

“I was in from 63-69, but my service was very uneventful compared to what others’ were,” Lambert said. “I almost feel funny being honored … but, if somebody said you go, you go. “[Veterans] should be honored, because there are a lot of people who didn’t make it back,” he added. “Yet, on the other hand, it takes all of us to win the war.”

The entire program is due in part to Timbercrest resident and veteran Jim Ribley.

Ribley moved into Timbercrest in 2012 and realized nothing was happening on Veteran’s Day. “I asked the CEO why not, and he said, ‘Well, nobody has ever come forward and said they wanted to take care of the meetings and things,’ and I said ‘well, you’ve got somebody,’” Ribley said he had to do some searching to find out who the veterans were since there had been no programs in the past.

Buford Baker experiences the Honor flight via Virtual Reality equipment. Photo by Eric Christiansen After finding about 40 veterans, the programs started five years ago and have been going since.

“Then they came along with this (Honor Flight), and this seemed like a great opportunity,” Ribley said.

Ribley went on an actual trip and said the virtual reality is very legitimate.

“They are seeing and hearing everything,” he said. “We had 24 who could have taken this, and 12 decided to.

“When we get some new people coming in, we’ll give them the opportunity when they have another one later.”

Ornamental tree becoming serious problem

By The Paper staff The Governor has declared April 7-13, 2019 as Invasive Species Awareness Week in Indiana.

As a result, officials at the Wabash County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) wanted to draw attention to the Callery pear, also known as flowering pear or Bradford pear, one off the most popular ornamental trees in the United States.

The white flowers produced by the tree are one of the first signs of spring in the Midwest and Callery pear is a common feature of plantings, urban trees, and housing additions.

Unfortunately, the species is an aggressive invader of native forest, savanna, and prairie habitats across the eastern United States.

Expansion of Callery pear is a serious problem as the species outcompetes and suppresses native species that are much more desirable for wildlife habitat and forest health.

Callery pear can be easily identified by its charismatic white flowers that appear in March or April as one of the first plants to bloom. It also has distinct waxy, egg-shaped leaves and some varieties, especially

where escaped, have large thorns. The fruits of the tree are small, typically the size of a dime or smaller with rough, brown skin. When first produced in spring, the fruits are quite hard but they soften over the course of the spring and summer, typically being consumed by a variety of birds and small mammals in late summer and fall.

Callery pear trees grow very quickly and produce pollen and fruit as early as three years. The abundant fruits are quickly dispersed by birds, including European Starlings and American Robins. This results in new Callery pear trees growing in a variety of habitats where birds travel and roost including forest, fields, and under powerlines.

Their continued use as an ornamental tree further contributes to the problem of expansion. In addition to their negative impacts on forests and wildlife, Callery pears are not a good choice for landscaping. Their tight branch angles and overall poor structure means they readily break under windy and icy conditions.

This presents a danger to people and nearby structures where they are planted.

Controlling this

invasive species can be a challenge.

Callery pear has a deep, strong taproot that limits pulling even small stems.

Additionally, it actively stump sprouts meaning when cut or girdled follow up herbicide treatment is necessary to kill an individual plant. Finally, the general form of most stems is rather spindly with leaves close to the stem (and each other).

This means spray herbicide application has limited success. As is the case with many invasive species, successive mechanical and/or herbicide treatments are most successful in effectively controlling and eradicating this species.

Contributing to the challenge of eradicating the species is the fact that the trees are actively available for retail and wholesale purchase by developers and consumers.

Eliminating existing landscape and invading specimens is important, but consumers should also avoid purchasing and planting ornamental pear trees.

For a list of retailers who sell native plants and do not sell invasive species, v i s i t GrowIndianaNatives .org.

Seventeen Indiana communities are already working

hard to share information and efforts about controlling invasive species.

Officials at the Wabash County SWCD would like to learn about the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in the invasive species problem. Many counties are forming Cooperative Invasive Species Management Areas (CISMA).

CISMAs are grassroots organizations formed to help manage invasive species at the local level.

They help partners prioritize invasive management, work across landownership boundaries to survey and control invasive plants, and provide local education and outreach on invasive species.

Officials encourage the public to take the survey at https://www.in.gov/ dnr/parklake/10154. htm

THE WEEKLY ISAAC-ISM: “Life will teach us many lessons; some we may not have wanted to learn at the time, others we welcomed at the time. One of the best lessons I have learned and try to pass on to others is that you should never equate losing with failure. Yes, we all stumble at times and fall short of our goals, but that usually leads to eventual success. The only time you truly fail is when you give up.

Welcoming obstacles in competition automatically increases the ability to find advantage in all the difficulties one meets in the course of one’s life.”

Glazed Ham 1 (8- to 9-lb.) fully cooked, bonein spiral-cut ham half 1 glaze recipe (below) Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Place ham, cut-side-down, on a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil then wrap the ham thoroughly.

Place ham on a rack placed in a rimmed baking or broiler pan and then place in preheated oven. Bake for 10-14 minutes per pound or until a meat thermometer registers 140 degrees.

About 20 minutes before the ham is done, spoon about half of the glaze over top of ham, then about 10 minutes before done, spread the remaining glaze over the ham.

Cover the ham loosely with foil and let it stand for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Country Maple Glaze 1/2 cup pure maple syrup 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup apple juice 1 heaping tablespoon brown or Dijon mustard (optional) Pinch ground cinnamon, clove, and ginger or allspice (optional)
