Ninety-nine percent of the time Wabash Police Department officers don’t have their guns drawn during daily life situations, according to Sgt. Matt Benson, WPD public information officer. However, officers need to be ready for that 1 percent and that’s where the annual Firearms Training Simulator (F.A.T.S.) comes in. On Friday, Feb. 5, the WPD trained for disastrous and domestic situations using a life-size video training simulator provided by Tactical Edge Protective Services of Warsaw.

Measure to seek tax levy to help offset funding cuts By Emma Rausch news@thepaperofwabash.com

The Wabash Community Schools School Board will seek voter approval for a tax levy referendum to be placed on the May 3 ballot. The board unanimously approved seeking the referendum at its meeting on Monday, Feb. 1. The referendum, if approved, would implement a tax levy of 28 cents per $100 assessed valuation to assist the school system’s finances.

The need for a referendum comes as a result of WCS losing the Transition to Foundation, a state tuition support implemented in 2011 for seven years that provided approximately $518,000 annually. In addition, the district experienced an enrollment drop, he noted, as Wabash High School graduated 125 students while bringing in only 91 kindergarten students. “Basically that’s going to put us in an operating budget deficit at the end of December — if projected revenue holds the same and expenditures hold the same — of $319,000,” Callahan explained.

Kellam, Inc. partners to raise roof at SRT Aluminum By The Paper staff Kellam, Inc., an industrial and commercial contractor and excavator in Wabash, once more successfully collaborated with its partners in assembling a raised roof section on the ground, and using a 250-ton crane to lift the raised roof section into place at SRT

Aluminum, formerly G & S Metals, on Monday, Feb. 1. This feat of “raising the roof ” at SRT Aluminum provided minimal production downtime for the customer. President Jeff Kellam said the project was an example of the firm’s 38-plus year accomplishments in bringing extremely complicated engineering solutions while

partnering with the customer, Nucor Building Systems, and Kellam, Inc’s. subcontractors. Kellam oversaw this project and had the raised roof section assembled on the ground by Wabash based Millwright Solutions, LLC, owned by Mike Williams Sr. and Mike Williams Jr. After the raised roof section

was assembled on the ground, a 250-ton crane was moved on site and the roof section was then lifted to its place of honor where Millwright Solutions fastened it into place. Kellam, Inc. was started in 1978 and steadily grew into a company that handles multimillion-dollar projects doing everything from the under-

Local nursing home hosts donation drive for animal shelter By The Paper staff Miller’s Merry Manor West is hosting a donation drive for the Wabash County Animal Shelter as a thanks for its time donated to the nursing home’s residents. Facility officials Tammy Grizzle, director of Life Enhancement, and Social Services director Ashley Rogers came up with the donation drive idea and said they would

like to thank shelter volunteers Bruce Darnell and Mandy Schul for visiting every other week with their “furry friends.” “It is such a joy to see how happy it makes the residents to have the animals come in (to) visit,” Grizzle said. “They light up with every visit whether it is in a group setting in our dining room or just from going room by room.” “We have the animals come in for the

residents but I truly believe that the staff benefit from the visits as well, especially on Monday mornings,” Rogers added. “It’s really hard not to want to take them all home with you!” Miller’s West will be accepting item donations through Feb. 19. Needed items include bleach, dish soap, cat and dog dry or wet food, kitty litter, toys, laundry detergent, paper towels, Clorox disinfecting wipes and pet

treats. The donation box is located inside the facility’s front doors by the Office Manager’s office.

Local police officers train for worst-case scenarios... continued from the front page North Manchester Police Department to reinforce the use of force decisions in the field. The simulations ranged from basic traffic stops to school

and workforce violence, raids and taking down bombers. “We’re not required (to work with the simulator),” Benson told The Paper of Wabash County. “This is just

something the Wabash Police Department does annually.” The WPD began utilizing the training simulator in 2007 after Sgt. Nick

Brubaker took over the role of firearms instructor in the same year. Just like a video game, Brubaker controls the simulation program from a lap-

County DCS director terminated from post ... continued from the front page The Paper. She declined to get into specifics, noting, “I can’t provide further detail because Ms. Justice has 30 days to appeal her termination.” “This appeals process culminates in a hearing where additional facts may

be presented and a decision is made by a citizen commission,” Hungate continued. “This is the fairest forum for both sides to be heard.” Justice joined what is now the Department of Child Services on Oct. 7, 1976, as a Clerk

Typist 5. “After several promotions,” Hungate said, “she became a County Welfare Director E6 on April 10, 2000.” Because of the appeals process, a posting to seek a replacement has not yet been posted,

Hungate said. “When it is,” she said, “DCS will follow the standard hiring process to fill.” The Paper attempted to contact Justice for comment. However, a telephone number listed for her is no longer in service.

City Schools to seek referendum

The tax levy will combat that deficit and ensure that the facility will not have to cut jobs. “That 28 cents will generate about $580,000 a year starting in 2017,” Callahan continued. “The thought is that we will cover that $319,000 deficit and also have 2 percent to keep up with cost of living and inflation for teachers and staff.” On the average Wabash household priced at $77,000, the tax levy referendum will be $5 a month in property tax, according to Callahan. “If (the house) is lower than that, (the property tax) will be lower,” he continued. “If it’s higher than that it’ll be higher.” Affected voters can visit voteyesforwabash.org and “plug in” their property costs into the website’s provided calculator to learn how

much the tax will impact them, Callahan said. If this tax levy is not implemented, Callahan said the board would have to start considering cutting personnel. Currently the school corporation is the fourth largest employer in the City of Wabash with 210 jobs, however that could change. “In 2012, we actually cut our business department and we eliminated our family and consumer science,” he said, “and since 2012 we’ve also eliminated some custodial positions and administrative support positions. “There’s no way around it,” he continued. “We limited our benefits on insurance premiums in 2015 and so we went from picking up 82 percent to only 70 percent of insurance. We feel like we can’t touch

benefits again. “So this time around we’re going to have to look at staffing and personnel, which could have an impact on elementary class size. It could have an impact on offerings at the secondary level, it can have an impact across the district.” If the community decides to vote against the tax levy, the impact will not only affect staff but also students, Callahan attested. “We currently don’t offer a business program and I think that’s a detriment,” he said. “We pride ourselves on being able to offer as many opportunities as possible and that begins with our programming. We offer Project Lead the Way. We offer nine advanced placement courses. “We don’t want to have to go down that road (of losing these

programs). It will hurt our program and it will hurt children. It’ll hurt our kids if we can’t get this passed.” The Board hosted a public meeting and discussed the referendum with affected voters and WCS parents on Tuesday, Feb. 9.

top. The simulation is then projected onto a screen approximately the height of a standard room. During the simulations, officers may choose to use nonlethal force such as a Taser and pepper spray or deadly force with a firearm for each of the program’s scenario. It is up to the officer’s discretion ultimately, according to Brubaker. There are approximately 100 different scenarios that can run multiple different outcomes. Some situations are based off of real life events. “(Officers) run through a handful of situations each time,” Brubaker said. “The more time we’ve got, the more time I would take with each officer.” For training purposes, local officers know that the majority of the simulations will involve needing their guns out, according to Benson, but still attempt to only use deadly force as a last resort. During a simulation that involved a man attacking a

step of the force continuum. It’s obvious with that particular one, (the assailant) is running at him with a deadly weapon and so he has to use deadly force.” The decisions are not easy to make, according to Brubaker. Sometimes officers make the wrong decisions or don’t react quickly enough and get hostages in the simulator killed, but that’s the purpose of the simulator, to allow for those mistakes and learn from them, he explained. “All of these scenarios are based on real life scenarios,” Benson said. “Shoot, don’t shoot, see what you can talk people down to, the risk of your confidence in your shooting skills, can you shoot him with a head shot and not hit the kid? These are all tested in the simulator.” “You have to make those decisions on a snap and that’s how quickly it goes bad,” Brubaker added. “So there’s a lot of different thoughts to make on it.”

I only want to talk,” until he had no other choice but to shoot. “In this same scenario, one of the options I could pick is he had a kid,” Brubaker said. “He had the kid as a hostage and he turns on the kid, and if you shoot the guy anywhere from the shoulders down, you kill the kid too.” The program prepares officers for making decisions and judgments in the field, he continued. “(And) use of force, force continuum as far as what do we do,” Benson added. “Because we have nonlethal decisions such as the Tasers and chemical spray. Depending on how violent the suspect is, we decide what level of force need to use. “That’s why Officer Henderson is talking to the screen,” he continued. “Trying to talk him down is one

Wabash County Promise launches scholarship program... continued from the front page Distribution Scholarship Program – was initiated in 2013, when only seven percent of the county’s youth under 18 had a college saving account,” Community Foundation Executive Director Patty Grant noted. “Today, more than 70 percent of families with children in grades K through five in Wabash County are saving for college. “Besides helping families save for post-secondary education and training, WCPI helps inspire children to think about college at a much earlier age.” Students will be eligible for scholarships in three ways, according

to Julie Garber, C o m m u n i t y Foundation Program Director said. The first, she said, is by reaching certain academic benchmarks that are now being developed by the Community Foundation, WCPI and local educators. “It’s sort of the typical way that you might earn a scholarship,” she said. Students will likely be able to choose from a variety of incentives, such as achieving a grade level reading, math and writing skills, and even good attendance and classroom behavior. “Many, many things can serve as incen-

tives,” she said. Students can earn scholarships by attending activities related to college readiness, such as college fairs, doing a math unit on educational costs, undergo mock scholarship interviews or fill out mock FAFSA applications. “For this part of the program we have enlisted the help of the Indiana Center for College Costs in Greencastle, which is an organization that offers valuable assistance to any family in Indiana that is on the route of planning, preparing and paying for college,” Garber said. The third way to earn

a scholarship is by working with their parents or WCPI champions to meet savings challenges. “ P r o m i s e Scholarships will match these savings contributions to students’ 529 plans up to a certain level,” Garber noted. “And this is a critical point because families and significant adults in a child’s life are critical to their decisions about college going. So, wherever the adults are engaged early in this process, the students will follow.” Phil Maurizi, Vice President of Promise Operations for the Wabash County YMCA, explained how the assets add up. “Students can earn up to $150 per year in fourth, sixth and eighth grade,” he explained. “That’s collectively $450. Additionally, in the fifth and seventh grades, if they put $50 into their savings account it will be matched with $50. “All together that would make promise incentives $550 in the fourth through eighth grade. When you combine that with the Wabash County

Promise K-third initiative, students can have $2,000 when they graduate high school.” Grant said the C o m m u n i t y Foundation is embracing all of the county’s early learners. “Through scholarships awarded in the school year, we seek to encourage every student to do well in school, and to prepare and save for post-secondary education,” she said. “When they do these things, they will be financially rewarded with a scholarship for college and career training. “The county is indebted to the leadership of the Wabash County YMCA and Clint Kugler, whose development of the Wabash County Promise brought out program to the attention of a national funder like the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. We are eager to join forces with Clint, Wabash County schools and other Promise Champions to encourage our kids.” The Michigan-based Mott Foundation has been involved in the field of asset building for low- and medium-

income families. As part of its new education grant making plan, Mott is focusing more specifically on the potential of a Children’s Savings Accounts as both a “builder of the collegegoing identity” and as a “practical solution to help more families saved for post-secondary education,” according to Benita Melton, director of the education grantmaking team. “Through grants to organizations like the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County, Mott is seeking to tease out best practices that will help us take this idea to scale,” Melton continued. “We believe if we can get more kids and more accounts, we will begin to uncover additional positive impacts on education.” Kugler noted that to date there are 4,600 529 children’s savings accounts totaling $226,000 in deposits in Wabash County. Wabash County’s three school superintendents also praised the plan. “Education is a driver for economic development,” Wabash City Schools superintendent

Jason Calhan said. “We know that an estimated 26,000 advanced skill jobs will be available in the northeast region (of Indiana) over the next 10 years. All of those jobs will require some education beyond high school. Wabash County citizens need to have the necessary education in order to fill the jobs that will build our economy.” MSD of Wabash County Superintendent Dr. Sandra Weaver noted that rising costs of education are putting post-secondary study out of reach for many families. “The Early D i s t r i b u t i o n Scholarship Program will help more families build resources to send their children to college,” she said. M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools superintendent Dr. Bill Reichhart said the program would help to assure “that education beyond high school is attainable for more Wabash County families, and in turn, assure that Wabash County is adequately trained and educated to thrive in the future workforce.”

Another firefighter receives back pay, damages By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The City of Wabash has reached an agreement with a second firefighter paramedic who worked for 30 days last year without pay. Firefighter paramedic Scott Reese agreed to the 30 days without pay in June 2015. The punishment stemmed from a December 2014

arrest in Fulton County for operating a personal vehicle while intoxicated. The Board of Public Works and Safety agreed to give Reese $10,878,30 in back pay and damages in the settlement with the city. Reese is the second firefighter and paramedic to reach such a settlement with the city in recent weeks. At the Jan. 6 board meeting, City

Attorney Randi Zimmer man-Irgang announced an attorney for the other firefighter paramedic, Jacob Hierholzer, notified the city in November 2014 that the penalty was illegal and asked for back pay and damages. The Robert Va n l a n d i n g h a m administration dismissed the claim as being legal. However, Zimmer man-Irgang

told the board that under federal labor law and Indiana code that Heirholzer was entitled to not only his back pay, but liquidated damages which are two times the amount of back pay. The city also must pay all of Heirholzer’s attorney fees. Heirholzer’s payment was estimated to be $18,000. At the board meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 3,

Mayor Scott Long said the payment was $18,408.60, including $2,000 for attorney fees. Long noted that the city reached out to Reese and broached the settlement with him to avoid and possible lawsuit and attorney fees. Reese said he was appreciative that the city reached out to him with the settlement.

MU plans interfaith literacy certificate From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER — M a n c h e s t e r University will offer a new certificate in interfaith literacy at its North Manchester campus beginning in 2016-2017. Designed to address the challenges and dynamics of a changing and increasingly diverse world, the certificate will help fulfill Manchester’s mission of graduating

people “who draw upon their education and faith” and the University’s values of faith, learning, diversity and community. The proposal developed over the past year as a collaboration between the Philosophy and Religious Studies Department and the Office of Religious Life. The certificate will be jointly administered by those two areas. Students who complete the certificate

program will be required to take two courses from a list that includes offerings such as “Religion and War,” “Judaism, Christianity, and Islam,” “Religions of India,” “Religions of East Asia,” and “Jewish Faith, Culture, and People.” They will also complete an experiential learning component and write a reflective paper. All students are already required to take at least one religion course as

part of the core program at Manchester. The certificate has two primary learning goals: Students will be able to articulate the main beliefs and practices of at least two religions other than their own; and speak intelligently and interact appropriately with people of a different faith tradition. It continues Manchester’s commitment to ecumenical and interfaith issues. While

Duke warns of scam phone calls By The Paper staff PLAINFIELD — Duke Energy is seeing an increase in reports from customers statewide about a utility bill payment scam and is urging its Indiana customers to be alert. Under the scam, a customer receives an unsolicited phone call from an individual who falsely claims to be a Duke Energy representative. The caller falsely warns that Duke Energy will disconnect the customer’s

electric service if the customer fails to make an immediate payment – usually within one hour. The caller instructs the customer to purchase a prepaid debit card – widely available at retail stores – then tells the customer to call back to supposedly make a payment to Duke Energy. The caller asks the customer for the prepaid debit card’s receipt number and PIN number, giving the caller instant access to the card’s

funds and the ability to immediately drain its balance. “The scammers have become more sophisticated and the caller ID on your phone might even state that it is a call from Duke Energy,” said Jim Holstein, manager of Duke Energy’s Midwest Call Center Operations. “In reality, Duke Energy never asks or requires customers who have delinquent accounts to purchase a prepaid debit card to avoid electric service disconnection.” Customers can make payments

online, by phone, by automatic bank draft, by mail or in person. Duke Energy customers who have delinquent accounts receive an advance disconnect notification with their regular monthly billing – never just a single notification one hour before disconnection. The company urges customers who suspect or experience fraud to hang up and call local police, then call Duke Energy in Indiana at 1-800-5212232. Customers should not use the telephone number provided by the scammer.

Manchester is affiliated with the Church of the Brethren, several dozen Christian denominations and other faith traditions are represented in the student body. Manchester has a student Campus Interfaith Board that plans programs and events each year, and the University participates in the President’s Interfaith and Community Service Campus Challenge.

The mind is attracted by objects in motion; it has been ever since birth.” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe and enjoyable week!

IUK to offer music scholarships From the IUK News Bureau

KOKOMO — Indiana University Kokomo invites high

school seniors to audition for its first-ever music scholarships, available to selected students participating in the Cougar Choir. “This is a fabulous opportunity for students to continue to grow as vocalists, while earning a college degree,” said Wendy Grice, lecturer of music. “The schol-

arships will help with financial needs, and will help our new choir grow by encouraging more students to participate. These students will have many performing opportunities.” Aspiring choir members should e m a i l iuadmis@iuk.edu, or call 765-455-9217 to schedule an audition,

on Saturday February 27, on campus. Vocalists should prepare for the sessions like they would for the Indiana State School Music Association (ISSMA) solo and ensemble contest. Those auditioning should prepare an art song, and bring an accompanist if possible. If not, the Cougar Choir accompanist

will be available to play. Students also will be asked to write down their activities in choir and other musical experiences, and to bring a copy of their music for the accompanist. The Cougar Choir, formed in spring 2015, is an all student choir that performs variety of challenging music, including classics,

folk songs, Broadway, and popular music. The choir performs two concerts a year, and also sang at several campus events. A smaller group, the IUK Harmonics, sings for special occasions, including the holiday donor party and Peru High School’s choral festival.

Heartland culinary students get hands-on demonstration By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Karen Lackey hoped to teach students in Chef Brad Luzadder’s culinary arts class at the Heartland Career Center the fine art of cutting apart a whole chicken. She did that and more last week. Lackey, a long time home economist with the Indiana Farm Bureau, taught students in Luzadder’s morning and afternoon classes several

things to consider when grocery shopping as well as about chicken and poultry in general. “People don’t really know what parts a chicken has anymore,” she told nine students in the morning class. “Some may think the only part of a chicken has is the breast because they like white meat. They really don’t stop to think there are legs and wings and thighs and backs and giblets, all the things that go along with (chickens).”

The students will be “miles ahead of the average customer” if they know all of the parts of the product they are working with or purchasing, she told the students. “You want to look at the bird and the parts of the bird,” Lackey told the class. “You want to see a nice, pinkish color.” Darker spots on the skin are indication of bruising on the bird, she noted. “You’ll find that more in some of your local birds than if they come from a major corporation, she continued. “It doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with that meat. It just means that, with a little handling, it’s gotten bruised up a little bit.” Because consumers want meat free of bruises, she said, those pieces that are bruised are generally set aside to be used in soup or other products. Consumers are generally concerned with food costs and are often upset when costs rise. However, Lackey pointed out, there are sever-

al factors that could cause the prices to increase. One thing hurting the poultry industry is the 2015 outbreak of avian influenza, an infectious viral disease in birds. “Millions of birds had to be put down,” she said. “You have seen an increase in eggs and some of the other parts of the poultry industry. It takes a long time to regroup.” The poultry was dealt another blow earlier this year when avian influenza was discovered in Dubois County, the largest turkey-producing county in the State of Indiana. An estimated 1.4 million turkeys are produced there annually. Because of the outbreak, some 400,000 birds had to be destroyed. “When you are dealing with a bird house, when one has the avian flu, they all have to go,” Lackey said. “It’s not just the one with the flu. It’s a tremendous loss for everyone.” She also encouraged

Miriam Ruppel (left) listens as Karen Lackey explains to Heartland Career Center students Madison Alexander and Josh Shireman the proper way to cut apart a chicken. Photo by Joseph Slacian the students to learn how to read package labeling, noting that it contains important information, such as nutritional value. However, she admitted, most people only worry about what a certain item will cost. She urged the students to understand that the price can vary for a chicken. The average broiler or fryer chicken weighs 3 1/2 to 4 pounds, and that includes the legs, wings and breasts. “When you buy a whole chicken you have to realize there only is a certain percentage of it that is edible,” Lackey said. “You’re not going to eat the bones. Sometimes you’re not going to eat the skin. So you may get close to 50 percent of non-edible parts if you’re buying a whole chicken. “If you’re buying chicken parts, say a chicken breast that’s skinless and boneless, then you’re paying whatever price per pound for everything

that’s edible. If you look at the price of things, and just because this may be cheaper, today it may not be your best buy. Maybe you’ll find something over here that’s skinless and boneless and it’s a cut you like, take a look and see. This may be a better price because of what you can consume. Some of you like white meat. Some of you like dark meat. Some of you may eat both. “There are two things you have at the grocery store to spend – you have money and you have time. Some days you have little time, so I will pay for whatever they will do for me. Other days my money will be a little bit lower, so I will take the time and cut it up myself.” When demonstrating how to cut apart a whole chicken, Lackey stressed the first thing the students need to be mindful of is cleanliness. She noted the importance of washing one’s hands before working with the bird,

as well as the importance of washing the bird inside and out and inspecting it for pinfeathers, which may not have been removed during processing. A good, sharp knife also is a must, she continued. Following the demonstration, the students paired up and practiced what Lackey had just showed them. Luzadder thanked Lackey for coming to the school for the demonstration, as well as Wabash County Farm Bureau representatives Miriam Ruppel and Helen Elrod who helped arrange the demonstration. He told the students that Farm Bureau has had a close working relationship with the school, donating the supplies with which the students were working with. The students will be part of an upcoming skills competition in which they must cut apart a whole chicken in 13 minutes or less.

VIEWPOINT Pageant director gives Justice did much for the community thanks for support

Dear Editor: Another Indiana State Festivals Scholarship Pageant is behind me and I am already thinking about the 2017 pageant. This year was full of a lot of challenges. We changed our date from November to January, we changed location and we had the most contestants that we have ever had with 25 amazing young women from around the state. I want to thank Ashley Price for representing Wabash this year. She may not have brought home the crown, but she was and will always be a winner in our eyes. This year’s queen is Mariah Kagels from the Covington Fourth of July Celebration. Her court consists of Ashley Fritz, Riley Festival; Madelyn Steurer, Harvest Homecoming; Macy Mumaw, Little Italy Festival; and Camille Ruff, Jasper Strassenfest. The Directors Award winner was Anna Kluender from the Mitchell Persimmon Festival and Miss Friendships went to Emma Brewer from the Linton Freedom Festival. I am so blessed to be a part of an amazing organization like the Indiana State Festivals Association and doubly blessed to be able to direct the state pageant. I am fortunate to be surrounded by people that have the same passion that I have for the scholarship pageant program. I have to thank my lifelong friend, Bev Vanderpool. Bev does the choreography for our opening dance number and she works with the contestants on their stage performance. She continues to be my right hand. Brenda Alexander, Erika McQuinn, Karen Weik, Don Morrison and Jenna Schmidt are also on the ISFA pageant committee. They each step up wherever they are needed. Brenda is always thinking of what is best for the contestants and works to make each of them look their best on stage. She always seems to catch

the little things that Bev and I miss. Don has become our official timekeeper during the interview process. This frees me up to make sure everything is in place so that we can give each of the contestants and their families a memorable evening. Erika was our emcee again this year and did an amazing job. Her challenge this year was being six months pregnant and putting in a long day and evening. Karen and Jenna joined our committee this year and already proved to be an asset. I can’t thank Jenna enough for taking care of the interview check-in. She worked so well with the contestants. She has first-hand experience because she represented Wabash in this same pageant several years ago. I want to thank the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce for allowing me to make all of my copies at their office. Thank you to Lillian’s Bridal and Prom Boutique of Peru for donating our crown and Webster’s Florist of Peru for donating in part the flowers our queen and court received. A big thank you to Bill Barrows for doing our T-shirts for us. Snips Salon in Historic Irvington pampered our contestants by doing their hair and makeup again. They have been sharing their talent and donating their time for 12 years. The owners, Kevin and Anthony, come and bring at least 10 of their staff and work their magic. They make each of our contestants feel special. R o m a n Chrzanowski, owner of Romaxmedia, was our official videographer. By offering DVDs, the contestants have a special remembrance of their participation in the pageant. Thank you to The Paper of Wabash County for again producing our pageant program book. We always seem to take it right down to the wire getting all of our infor-

mation to them but they still produce an amazing program for us. It is such a pleasure to work with Sam Frieden and his staff. I cannot end a thank you without thanking Kaytlyn Eberly for representing the Indiana State Festivals Association and Wabash County. She was an amazing queen. Kaytlyn went to 20 different cities during her reign. She went to festivals, pageants and parades and traveled over 5,000 miles. She passed our ribbons, entertained with her amazing gift of song, she stomped grapes on more than one occasion, was the grand marshal of a parade, ran in 5Ks and jumped in whenever and wherever needed. I have to thank her parents, Darla and Scott, for not only raising an amazing young woman, but also being supportive of Kaytlyn and traveling wither to all of the festivals, pageants and parades. I am happy to announce that Kaytlyn has agreed to be on our pageant committee and be a mentor to the incoming queen. As I look ahead to the 2017 ISFA Scholarhsip Pageant, I can’t wait to see who will represent Wabash. – Chris Benson, ISFA Pageant Director

Dear Editor: This is a response to an article in the paper relating to the termination of the DCS director, Margery Justice. We feel the public needs to know the positive aspects of her career. We have each been on the Wabash County Child Protection Team for over 30 years as members and coordinators. We have worked very close with Margery Justice and the Indiana Department of Family and Children’s Services caseworkers. Marge has been instrumental in developing public awareness of child

and family abuse over her tenure, promoting a 4-H booth for many years, “Kids First,” “Kids are Beary Special,” “April Awareness Month” as well as last year’s inaugural Shamrock Shuffle 5K run, not to mention the Terry Hall Body Safety programs in every county school. These as well as many other abuse awareness programs gained the Wabash County Child Protection recognition on the state level with many other county child protection teams copying our lead. Through her efforts the Child Protection Team was selected by a gover-

nor a few years ago to assist in chart review of Child Fatalities in Indiana, which brought us the governor’s thanks and appreciation. Margery has been recognized on local, regional and state levels for her tireless work, protecting families and promoting abuse awareness. She started her leadership as temporary director of the Welfare Department after the tragic death of Judy Mason 30 years ago. She has simultaneously directed several other county departments, while fulfilling her duties at the Wabash office. At the time of her termina-

tion she was working as the Miami County director as well as Wabash. Margery Justice has dedicated her life to fighting family and child abuse. To our knowledge, she has an exemplary work record. We are disappointed that she was not asked to resign or retire, instead of being front-page news. Whoever replaces her will have big shoes to fill. – James P. McCann MD; Les Templin, Wabash C o u n t y Commissioner (Retired); David Blanke, MSW; Terri Weaver

Christmas Spirit organizers appreciate support Dear Editor: The Wabash County Christmas Spirit Committee would like to send a very big thank you to the Wabash County community for its support this 2015 holiday season. Thanks to the donors and volunteers that assisted throughout the year, the Wabash County Christmas Spirit program was able to deliver Christmas cheer to 1,191 children in 425 families.

Toy donations included fantastic gifts such as guitars and footballs as well as coloring books and Barbie dolls. We even received a generous supply of batteries! Requested gifts, which were not donated, were purchased by the committee. These purchased items would not have been possible without the monetary donations given thoughtlessly by local businesses and citizens. Thank you all so much for

kindly giving to help your neighbors. The most important donation possibly made this year was the donation of our volunteers’ time. From the program’s core committee to its gift organizers and drivers, the Wabash County Christmas Spirit program would not be possible without all of these volunteers. Finally, the committee would like to thank the families participating in the

program for their patience and cooperation. Thank you for registering with the Wabash County Christmas Spirit program and allowing us to help you, our neighbors, this Christmas. The success of this program would not be possible without the efforts of the entire community. So, thank you Wabash County for having such a big heart. — The Wabash County Christmas Spirit Committee

Police: Stop for school buses By The Paper staff Recently, officers working from the Indiana State Police Peru Post have fielded complaints of motorists disregarding school bus stop arms when bus drivers were picking up or dropping off children. During the early morning and late afternoon hours there will be increased bus traffic

and children waiting or walking near roadways. The Indiana State Police would like to remind motorists to watch for children in school zones and waiting to board buses, especially during times of reduced visibility. Also motorists should be prepared for school buses to make frequent stops as the bus drivers try to safely load and unload

school children. Remember, whenever the school bus stop arm is extended drivers are required by Indiana law to stop. Disregarding a school bus stop arm is a traffic infraction, but if circumstances dictate it can be increased to a class B misdemeanor punishable with up to 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. Troopers will have zero tolerance for anyone dis-

regarding a school bus stop arm or speeding in a school zone. It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure our children are able to safely travel to school. Citizens are encouraged to report anyone observed disregarding a school bus stop arm by calling their local law enforcement agency or the Indiana State Police at 1-800-382-0689.

Walter F. Wykes, 90, Zionsville, passed away peacefully Monday, Feb. 1, 2016, surrounded by family. He was born Ladislaw Wyciechowski to Stanley and Anna Cecile (Zielinski) Wyciechowski in Detroit, Mich. Walter graduated from Dearborn High School in 1943 and enlisted in the Navy the same year, serving in Panama and receiving an honorable discharge in 1946. In 1950, he graduated from Wayne State University School of Law and immediately began a long career in the insurance business as an insurance claims adjuster. When he was promoted to Claims Supervisor for American States Insurance Company in 1962, he and his family moved to Indianapolis. He retired in 1990 from that company as Vice President of Personnel. Walter was unpretentious with a kind and caring personality and a sense of humor that could turn grief into laughter. He had a special knack for making everyone around him feel valued and accepted, and greeted all he met with a firm handshake or generous hug. Anyone who met him likely has a “Walt story” to tell. After the end of his first marriage, he married Becky (Bowman) in June 1973 and began a blended family with nine children including Paul (Zoe) Wykes, Phil Wykes, Cliff Wykes, Mike Wykes, Nancy Wykes, Pay Wykes (Kevin Deville), Kay Wykes and Doug (Paula) Richards.

McCallen resigns as Democratic Party chair By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Bryan McCallen, the long-time chair of the Wabash County Democratic Party, has resigned. “I just felt it was time for a fresh face and new start,” McCallen, who has had the position for more than 30 years, told The Paper. “All my mentors who I relied on these 30-plus years are now gone. My father, Shirley Hipsher, Ira McClurg, Dallas Winchester, John and Ombra Keffaber and Don Branson.” A caucus has been scheduled for Feb. 18 to choose a replacement. “It has been an honor and privilege to serve our party these past 30 years-plus, and new people will serve

us well,” McCallen said. “We were very successful at the national and state levels during my tenure and elected great people at the county, city and township levels, too. “I am saddened by all the negative politics at the national level and was proud of the fact we ran good, clean campaigns. “It was always about what we had to offer and never about what the other side couldn’t do.” At least one person has expressed an interest in replacing McCallen in the post. County Democrat Treasurer Chad Harris confirmed to The Paper he is seeking the post. “I would like the position because I really enjoy politics, always have,” he said. “I like to help candi-

dates, and I’m a Democrat so it would be a perfect spot for me. “If elected I wouldn’t change much, as far as whom I’d appoint to the election board, Mary Brane has been on the board a longtime, and I’d keep her. Fundraising is a given, I want to work hard to grow the party treasury.” If Harris is elected he would resign the treasurer’s post, he said. “I will also work to appoint vacant precinct committee people,” Harris continued. “I would be very aggressive in running and promoting candidates for various offices. “I would like to offer my thanks to Bryan for his almost 31 years of service to the local party.”

Local teams fall in Rochester girls sectional By The Paper staff ROCHESTER — Wabash County’s girls’ basketball teams failed to advance last week in the IHSAA Class 2A Sectional 37 tourney here. In fact, only one local school, Southwood, posted a win. That was a come-from behind overtime win in its opening game against Cass, 46-43. Cass came out strong in the first half, hitting eight three-point shots to build an 11-point, 2918 halftime lead.

The Lady Knights battled back, cutting the Cass lead to 37-30 after three quarters. S o u t h w o o d outscored Cass, 12-5, in the fourth quarter to end the game tied at 42. The Lady Knights then outscored Cass in the extra period, 4-1, to win the contest. Southwood wasn’t as fortunate in its semifinal contest, falling to Rochester, 50-32. Poor shooting in the first half doomed the Lady Knights, as they scored just seven points and ended up

trailing 28-7 at halftime. Southwood performed better in the second half, but was unable to overcome the 21-point deficit. Brooke Elliott led Southwood against Cass with 19 points, and added 15 points in the game against Rochester. I n Friday’s other semifinal contest, Oak Hill took

advantage of poor shooting and 21 turnovers to defeat Wabash, 41-37. Wabash scored just 14 points in the first three quarters, trailing 23-14 entering the final

quarter. The Lady Apaches came on strong that quarter, outscoring the Lady Eagles 23-18, but came up short. Seniors Madison Barden and Kristin

After a very busy week with the girls’ sectional with boys’ regular season games mixed in, we now concentrate on the original source of Hoosier Hysteria. And it’s more like a 1970’s style schedule this week, preparation time early and games late in the week. On Thursday one lone game, as Southwood travels to Madison-Grant. On Friday, Manchester travels to Peru and Rochester entertains Wabash. Saturday is a mixed bag of action. Lewis Cass will be at Wabash for a day game after a night game for the Apaches. And that evening, Northfield is at Bluffton and Whitko will be at Manchester where the Wabash WebTV crew will bring you that game. The Wabash WebTV

broadcast team will provide a type of media that is the wave of the future and we love doing it and will try to refine the broadcasts to continually upgrade and make it top notch. Speaking for our commentators, Rick Harness, Jim Landrum, Tim Harness, Troy Miller, Chandler Jones and yours truly as well as our tech and support staff, Steven Weir and Julie Schnepp, thanks for tuning in! Also on Thursday night, join all of us at 6pm for “Hot Air,” our in-studio show where you can interact by asking questions or making comments by leaving them on the Wabash WebTV Facebook or The Paper of Wabash Facebook page. We talk sports, pop culture and usually have a few comment and questions from our studio audience. Join Wabash WebTV for exciting action of Indiana High School athletics. The Wabash WebTV schedule will be published in The Paper of Wabash County. If you are at a game or cannot watch it live, an archive of the featured game is available on the website shortly after the completion of each game.

February 10, 2016

Manchester boys defeat Northfield By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com Manchester and Northfield played a classic in the 2015 Wabash County Tournament championship game on December 30 with Chase Fierstos knocking down a jumper at the buzzer to give the Squires the win. For three quarters last Thursday, it appeared that the county rivals were on their way to another heart-pounding finish. Manchester led 49-48 with 6:42 left in the game, but a 10-2 run gave them breathing room and led to a 65-55 win. Fierstos also made his presence felt in this game, not only leading all scorers with 36 points, but scored his 1,000th career point midway in the third quarter. The Norse kept tabs on Fierstos early on, but 3-pointers from Koehl Fluke and David McAtee gave the Squires a 7-4 lead. Down 9-6, Northfield grabbed the lead with baskets from Jake Schuler and Cody Holmes, a 3pointer from Noah Shear, but Fierstos

had an answer. The Squire senior scored his first points of the game on a baseline drive with 1:28 left in the first quarter, followed by a 3-pointer, and he didn’t stop all night. Northfield used the long-ball in the second quarter, one each from Joe Halderman and Ryan Driscoll, to take a 21-17 lead, but Fierstos answered right back with a 3point play, followed by a 3-pointer to give the Squires a 23-21 lead. Another 3-pointer from Fierstos gave Manchester a 30-26 lead with 1:59 left in the half, but Northfield took a 3130 halftime lead, thanks to two free throws from Austin Trump and a 3-pointer from Shear. The Norse held a 35-34 lead early in the third quarter, but that would be the last lead they would enjoy. Fierstos gave the lead back to Manchester with a 3pointer, but Kyle Reed tied it up for Northfield. With 4:37 left in the third quarter, Fierstos made history with a picked off a pass, and went in for a 3-point play. That play put him over in the career 1,000 point

Two minutes later, Manchester took its biggest lead of the game to that point with a jumper, followed by two free throws from Fierstos to make it 46-41. H a l d e r m a n answered with a 3pointer, and two free throws from Shear tied it up with under a minute left in the

third. The Squires held a 49-48 lead with 4:36 left in the game, but that’s where things changed. Northfield coach Patrick Hopkins was whistled for a technical foul after Fierstos was fouled. Fierstos hit both free throws, then was fouled two more times in the next 30 seconds and hit 3-4 from the line to open

Northfield dropped to 9-8 overall and 4-3 in conference play. Fierstos led Manchester with 36 points, followed by McAtee with 10,

Fluke with nine, Braydon Sewell with four, Mason Hamby with three, Matthew Pegg with two, and Keelan Norwood with one. Northfield was led by Shear with 24 points, followed by Reed with seven, Halderman and Holmes with six each, Trump with five, Schuler with four, and Driscoll with six.

Manchester will face two TRC opponents this weekend as they travel to Peru on Friday night and host Whitko on Saturday with a 1:00 p.m. JV tip-off. Northfield travel to Bluffton on Saturday night, and will be at Maconaquah on Tuesday for a TRC battle.

Monce signs with Jackson College By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Northfield High School senior baseball athlete Remington Monce signed his letter of intent with Jackson College on Tuesday, Feb. 2, and took another step toward fulfilling his dream. A third baseman and pitcher for the Norsemen, Monce said he’s excited to join the Michigan college’s team on the field. “It’s been a dream of mine since I was little and this is one huge day in my life, one of the best days,” he told The Paper of Wabash County after the signing. Monce has dreamed of playing in college since his g r a n d m o t h e r, Dorothy M. “Dot” Monce, interested him in the sport as a child. “Honestly I hated

it when I started,” he said with a smile. “I was on T-ball crying for my mom saying, ‘Hey I don’t want to do this.’ My grandma was who really got me into it. “I would sit at home and watch Yankee games, which is our favorite team, with her and when she passed away my freshman year it was kind of tough, but what really got me through it last year was that I put her birthdate on my arm. “Last year was my best year I ever had in high school,” Monce continued. “I made All Conference, All County and it feels like when I’m out there pitching, she’s there with me. “So that’s why I love the game.” Next year, Monce will immediately take the field as a rotation pitcher, or a starting pitcher on

the mound every four or five days, according to Rick Smith, Jets head coach. Northfield Head Baseball Coach Brandon Baker told The Paper he’s very excited about Monce “going onto the next level and to see him achieve that is special as a coach.” When asked about Monce’s performance as an athlete, Baker said, “Case in point, last year when we played Norwell who was in the section ranked in the top three, and we had him out there pitching. “It was back and forth and his pitch count got up a little and we were talking in between innings about what did he want to do, because the last thing we want to do is hurt him for college, and he said, ‘There’s no way I’m coming out.’ “He finished the

game bases loaded,” the coach continued. “We were up one. (Monce) struck the last guy out to finish the game after throwing 150 pitches. Just the competitive nature that he has is amazing. … It’s a great thing to have and what you want an impact player to have, and he’s got it.” As a student, he will be pursuing a degree in sports management with hopes to “pay it forward.” “I just want to give something back to the game that gave me everything,” Monce explained. “I want to do recruiting for baseball when I get older because like I’m Baseball Factory (a company specializing in baseball player development and college placement) now and they’re what got me to college. I’ve went to Florida, Arizona and got to play on

Pat McGann kicks off Historic Eagles comedy series By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Thursday Night Comedy Series kicks off on Feb. 18 with Chicago comedian Pat McGann at the Historic Eagles Theatre. McGann began his comedic career in 2007 when he transitioned from packaging salesman to stand up comedian. “I wanted to make less money and travel more and have to work harder,” he kidded in a phone interview with The Paper of Wabash County. “No, I just always loved about being involved in comedy as a writer, probably is what I thought at first. “Then I realized in Chicago there’s not a lot of big opportunities to write so I just started writing stuff, going to open mics and loved performing.” The comedian admitted prior to his start nine years ago, he’s never performed on stage before. “I’ve never really done that before, been on stage,” McGann said. “I’ve never been involved with theater stuff. So it’s kind like one of those pipe dreams that you have in the back of your mind and I started doing it and got lucky, got a few breaks and then it just kind of snowballed from there.” Since then,

Community Band to perform concert, dance By The Paper staff

On Sunday, Feb. 14, during the first part of the Sweetheart Concert & Dance, the Wabash Community Band will feature Liz Hendricks of Wabash, Indiana on clarinet; playing “Romance.” “Romance” is the second movement of Gerald Finzi’s clarinet concert, “Five Bagatelles.” The concert will be held at the Honeywell Center in Legacy Hall from 2-4 p.m. The dance band will be performing tunes from the ‘30s to the ‘60s. There will be lots of room for dancing and admission is free.

PAT MCGANN McGann has performed twice on “The Late Show with David Letterman” as well as created and hosted the Emmy-nominated television show “The Chicago Stand Up Project.” He is also frequently heard on “The Bob and Tom Show.” McGann said he’s excited to perform in Wabash and he has some “inside information” thanks to his friend, Michael Palascak. “I’m really looking

forward to (performing in Wabash,)” he said. “Michael is a tremendous comic. He is a good friend and he’s told me all about Wabash, so I’ve got some inside information. I know where to get a good meal.” The two became acquainted in Chicago working various shows and have performed together on occasion. Similar to Palascak, McGann said that his comedy is clean, but doesn’t consider it “vanilla clean.” “I do talk a lot about my family,” he continued. “We have three kids under 3, so I think my stuff ends up being relatable to people that have children and do a lot of family stuff. I just talk about my life. “It’s specific to me but it becomes relatable because a lot of us are going through the same things.”

In case anyone is wondering if he or she should go to the show on Feb. 18, McGann said, “This is a good time for comedy.” “It’s on a Thursday night in February?” he continued. “What else is going on? Let’s go. Come on out. I want to meet all these people that Michael Palascak has told me about. I want to meet these people from Wabash and we’ll have a good time.”

Homeowner’s trail camera aids investigation By Shaun Tilghman news@nmpaper.com NORTH MANCHESTER — During the evening on Friday, Jan. 29, Chris and Mika Clark’s vehicles were broken into while parked outside their home, located just west of here on State Road 114. It was the third time in as many months that someone had taken items from their vehicles, but this time was different, as the Clarks had recently installed a trail camera in order to monitor their vehicles. According to Clark, the first time they realized that someone had been in their vehicles and taken things was a r o u n d Thanksgiving, and neither of the vehicles had been locked at the time. Then, the same thing happened again around Christmas, and again the vehicles had not been locked, so there was no damage done to the vehicles, but the same types of items were taken, including: cigarettes, lighters, and shotgun shells. After the second incident, Clark said the couple decided to

purchase a trail camera and mount it where they park their vehicles. In addition, they also made a more conscious effort to lock their vehicles, even while they were parked just outside the house. “When we woke up on Saturday, we found that someone had actually broken into the vehicles this time, as in breaking the driver’s side window of the car,” Clark said. “So, we checked the trail camera from Friday night, and it had recorded what looked like a young male breaking into the vehicles and taking items from both vehicles just like the other times. We were also informed that the same individual is believed to have broken into the neighbor’s shed that night, but it didn’t appear that anything was taken.” Clark then posted images from the trail camera on Facebook, along with the following message: “Okay North Manchester, if you think you recognize this person please let me know! Friday night this person went threw both of our vehicles, busted

bors!” The post was shared on Facebook more than 650 times. “We did receive some information regarding a possible subject

window and doors. Wearing warmer clothes and adding blankets will also help with comfort. If you must use space heaters or other forms of alternative heating, take precautions.” The fire marshal oversees the Indiana Department of Homeland Security’s (IDHS’s) Division of Fire and Building Safety. Alternative heating tips Space heaters should always be kept away from loose or flammable objects such as clothing, curtains, bedding and furniture. There should be at least a three-foot perimeter around space heaters at all times. Avoid using candles or appliances, such as a stove or oven, to heat the home.

Fireplaces should be regularly cleaned and inspected by a certified professional, such as a chimney sweep. Gas fireplaces should have properly working ventilation with a functioning carbon monoxide detector nearby. “Creosote deposits build up quickly in chimneys and can easily catch fire,” said Greeson. “Keep anything flammable away from fireplaces, and use only paper or kindling to start a fire. Always have a fire extinguisher on hand in case the fire grows too large or out of control.” Fires should always be extinguished and space heaters unplugged before going to bed or leaving the home for any period of time. Do not leave

space heaters on in unoccupied rooms. In addition to safe heating, do not overload electrical outlets. Fire deaths and smoke alarms “Last year Indiana had more than 70 fire-related deaths, and in a lot of these cases there was not a working smoke alarm in the home. Smoke alarms are proven to save lives,” said Greeson. “Test your smoke detector to make sure it works. Even if it responds correctly, if you don’t remember the last time you changed your batteries, do it today,” said Greeson. “If you don’t have a smoke detector, buy one and install it. If you don’t have the funds, contact your local fire department or social service agency to see if one can be provided.” Working smoke alarms are important to have year round, but especially in the winter months when alternative heating sources, such as space heaters and fireplaces, are used. Space heaters account for one-third of home heating fires, according to the National Fire P r o t e c t i o n Association. Proper use of heating sources and working smoke alarms can be the difference between life and death, according to Greeson.

USDA expands microloans From the USDA

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will begin offering farm ownership microloans, creating a new financing avenue for farmers to buy and improve property. These microloans will be especially helpful to beginning or underserved farm-

ers, U.S. veterans looking for a career in farming, and those who have small and mid-sized farming operations. “Many producers, especially new and underserved farmers, tell us that access to land is one of the biggest challenges they face in establishing and growing their own farming operation,” said Ariculture Deputy Secretary

Krysta Harden. “USDA is making it easier for new farmers to hit the ground running and get access to the land that they need to establish their farms or improve their property.” The microloan program, which celebrates its third anniversary this week, has been hugely successful, providing more than 16,800 low-

Teen Moms discuss family traditions Article provided

Teen Moms met on Monday, Jan. 18, at the Wabash Alliance Church. The meal was provided by Ruth Ann Pilgrim of College Corner Church. Susan Shannon led a discussion about family traditions and how important these are in the lives of children. Angie Baer demonstrated how to make a crockpot spinach artichoke dip and provided the moms with the recipe. The next meeting will be at the Alliance Church on Feb. 1. Any moms interested in joining the group can do so by calling 260-563-7275 or register at the LIFE Center.

Operating Officer, at Penguin Point Franchise Systems recently announced the winners of the 27th Annual People Pleaser’s of the Year. The award is given to the one person in each location in appreciation for consistent dedication to People Pleasing, for both customers and associates. Each associate in the restaurants cast a vote for the person whose attitude, dependability, initiative, quality of work, cooperation, and cus-

tomer relation skills best reflect the Penguin Point People Pleaser profile. This award includes a cash bonus, a People Pleaser plaque, with their photo posted in the lobby, and an honorary pin. . Switzer enjoys fishing and hiking. She plans to attend college for a business degree. “Katie always has a smile ready for everyone, and goes out of her way to make the customers happy,” said Manager Carla Olinger.

interest loans, totaling over $373 million to producers across the country. Microloans have helped farmers and ranchers with operating costs, such as feed, fertilizer, tools, fencing, equipment, and living expenses since 2013. Seventy percent of loans have gone to new farmers. Now, microloans will be available to also help with farm-

land and building purchases, and soil and water conservation improvements. FSA designed the expanded program to simplify the application process, expand eligibility requirements and expedite smaller real estate loans to help farmers strengthen their operations. Microloans provide up to $50,000 to qualified producers, and can be issued

to the applicant directly from the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA). This microloan announcement is another USDA resource for America’s farmers and ranchers to utilize, especially as new and beginning farmers and ranchers look for the assistance

they need to get started. To learn more about the FSA microloan program v i s i t www.fsa.usda.gov/mi croloans, or contact your local FSA office. To find your nearest office location, please v i s i t http://offices.usda.go v.
