NM man facing charges in shooting By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

A 24-year-old North Manchester man is still incarcerated in Wabash County Jail and is facing several charges after allegedly shooting a relative during an altercation Wednesday afternoon at a home on County Road 950 N. The man, Joshua Lee Wright, 24, is preliminarily charged with attempted murder, criminal recklessness with a weapon and possession of chemical precursors in association with manufacturing methamphetamine. Formal charges are pending after review by Wabash County Prosecutor William Hartley Jr.’s office. According to a release Thursday afternoon from the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department: About 3:49 p.m. Wednesday, March 4, the department received a call from Wright about the shooting at 1014 W, 950

N. Wright told dispatchers that his grandmother was driving the JOSHUA LEE victim, T. WRIGHT Larry Lane, 56, North Manchester, to Parkview Wabash Hospital with a gunshot wound to the face. Lane, who is Wright’s great-uncle, was transported to Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne, and is listed in stable condition. According to police, Wright surrendered without incident at the home. A preliminary investigation, according to Sheriff Bob Land, shows Lane and Wright were in an altercation and Wright retrieved a .22 caliber rifle from his bedroom and shot Lane in the face. Land said the Indiana State Police (continued on page 4)

Angling Road to receive stop sign By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Changes are coming to the intersection of County Road 300N and Angling Road at Ind. 15. Wabash County Commissioners on Monday, March 9, approved County Highway Superintendent John Martin’s request to place a stop sign on Angling Road. Currently, he said, only 300 N has a stop sign. “A couple of people have almost gotten hit there at that intersection, because Angling Road does not stop at 300, and it should,” Martin said. He later told The Paper of Wabash County that he has received a couple of complaints about the intersection. “It’s been a problem for a long time and it needs to be addressed,” he added. Commissioners approved the request and instructed County Attorney Steve Downs to amend the country traffic ordinance to reflect the change.

For the time being, Martin said, CR 300 N will continue to have a stop sign at the intersection. In another matter, commissioners signed a lease agreement with Crossroads Bank to finance two new cars for the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department. The agreement, for $49,214, carries a 2.5 percent interest rate over three years. In another department-related matter, Commissioners learned that there were 86 inmates in the Wabash County Jail as of Monday morning. Another 19 inmates were housed in the Miami County Jail. The average daily population for last week was 84, with a peak of 85 people. There also were 23 new book-ins, and five individuals were transported to the Indiana Department of Corrections. Land continued, noting that Community Corrections had 30 individuals on electronic home detention, (continued on page 4)

Board continues firefighter’s light duty status By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A Wabash firefighter-paramedic had his light duty status continued for two weeks by the Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety. The firefighter, Travis Keating, was injured in December. In January, the board granted light duty status for him, and that status expired at the board’s first meeting in March, which was Wednesday, March 4. Fire Chief Bob Mullett asked the board to consider extending the status for two weeks, until its March 18 meeting. “He’s been doing physical therapy,” the chief told the board. “And he has another doctor’s

appointment on March 12. My recommendation to the board would be that we extend the light duty until the next meeting, at which point we’ll see what the doctor says. “Then we may have to change our thoughts on that.” Board member

Greg Metz asked if Keating has seen a specialist, and Mullett said he believes he has. “He’s been in physical therapy and he says he’s feeling better,” Mullett said. “I’m hoping that the twelfth he’ll return to full duty. If he doesn’t return to full duty

we’ll have to think of other options. “We have said light duty is not a permanent position.” However, the board requested that Mullett have Keating appear before the board on March 18. “I’m a little disappointed that he’s not here today,” board

member Dee Byerly said. Metz added, “I think I’d like to have him here at the next board meeting if possible, to find out what he’s learned first hand. This far into it now, it’s fair for us to say, ‘OK, what’s going on?’ and get specifics as to what it is.”

Faith-based childcare providers gather at conference By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Faith-based child care providers from around Indiana gathered Friday and Saturday, March 6-7, for “Caring in Faith – A Child Care Ministry Conference” at the Honeywell Center. “We have child ministry directors coming (Friday),” according to Traci Marshall, Early Childhood Education Specialist with the Indiana Association for Child Care Resource and Referral (IACCRR). “We have about 100 of them. Then (Saturday) they’ll be their staff and teachers, and we have about 200 of them attending.” Participants chose

from a variety of different breakout seminars to attend throughout the two days, she said. “It’s unique because, to my knowledge, this is the only conference for faithbased child care programs in Indiana,” Marshall said. “In the past we’ve held them twice a year in southern Indiana and some in northern Indiana. We’ve held it in Central Indiana in the past. But this is the largest group we’ve ever had.” The IACCRR, which sponsored the conference, is a state network of child care resource and referral agencies. There are nine agencies across Indiana that provide services to providers and families, Marshall said. Participants are from throughout Indiana, she said, but the majority of those attending were from Northeast Indiana. All the child care providers represented at the conference are affiliated with churches, Marshall said, noting all types of denominations are in attendance. Marshall and Deb Hughes, director of Kiddie Prep based at Grace Point Church of the Nazarene in Fort Wayne, welcomed attendees. “My goal for all of us is to gain some new knowledge, have some awesome new experiences and share those experiences, “ Marshall said during the opening session at the Honeywell Center skating rink. Hughes told the crowd she had initially planned to not speak at the conference, but God spoke to her early one morning and she decided to indeed speak. (Continued on page 3)

County Council passes resolution to fund local health department despite state complaints By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

On Feb. 23, the Wabash County Council approved a resolution to transfer appropriated funds from the County Health Maintenance Fund to the County Health Fund despite complaints received from the Wabash Health Department. In a 6-1 vote, the council passed a resolution authorizing the transfer of $104,821.43 from the Health Maintenance Fund to the County Health Fund to assist with the Health Department’s costs. Council member Randy Curless cast the lone no vote. The controversy with the transfer arose when Dr. Jeffrey Pyle explained to the council that, while the funds are needed and appreciated, there is a series of steps required by the Indiana State Department of Health to make the transfer. “My concern is what I’m told directly by the people of the state,” Pyle told the board. “I talked to Kathryn Nicely, who is the (State Department of Health) grant administrator. … What she is saying is you can move monies, but there’s more to it.” According to an email from Nicely, all monies in the County Health Maintenance Fund are considered grants, which can only be administered and transferred by the State Department, not the council. Funds cannot be transferred from the Maintenance Fund without the express written consent of the Health Board and the State Department, and there may be an obligation to reimburse the Maintenance Fund for grant monies spent to support the administration of vaccines. “However, these positions rest on the belief that all monies in the Maintenance Fund are grant monies, and are apparently founded only in policy and not in state law,” County Attorney Steve Downs wrote in a

memorandum presented to the County Council. In the memo, Downs wrote approximately $62,000 in vaccine revenues, nongrant monies, have been deposited into the Maintenance Fund per year since 2006. “Since essentially the only source of monies in the Maintenance Fund is supposed to be grant monies, the vaccine revenues also should have been deposited into the Health Fund and the vaccine related expenses should have been paid from the Health Fund,” he wrote. In his conclusion, Downs wrote that

although the vaccines revenues were transferred into the Maintenance Fund, that does not mean that the funds “somehow morphed into grant monies” and recommended that $90,713.95 of the nongrant monies in the account be transferred to the County Health Fund. The recommended transfer monies was later raised to $104,821.43 in the resolution after the year’s new allocation from the revenue came in. According to Pyle, by forgoing the written consent requirement, the State Department of Health would consider the transfer as “supplan-

tation,” or to take the funds by force, and, in response, wipe away all of the local health board’s grants. “This is an email from Kathryn Nicely to Steve Downs dated Feb. 6, 2015,” Pyle said to the council. “It says, ‘Please let me know how your process is going with the health president, health officer, auditor, and local health department administrator, for these individuals will have to sign off on a letter agreeing on a movement of these funds that should be mailed to me with original signatures, blue ink is preferred, along with the letter. “Please send any

documentation showing that these funds were placed there incorrectly,” he continued. “The local health maintenance fund is actually a grant given to the local boards of health not the counties so that is why their signature is needed before I can provide my approval. The other signatures are requested from me so that I know everyone that I work with is on the same page and in agreement. “Once the thought process of going in the past years to get funds is explained and everyone, council, board of health president, health officer, auditor, and local health department administrator is in agreement, then please write up the letter and submit the documentation so we can move forward with this.’” Downs said that he responded to Nicely’s email requesting the code that gives her authority to require this. At that point,

Mike Ridenour said that he understand Pyle’s position and commended him how much time he had given the argument. “At the end of the day, we’re tasked with making some decisions that aren’t going to be real popular with everyone,” Ridenour said, “but we’re tasked with making some decisions and we’re going to have to come up with something right now because this has been something that’s been on-going.”

Downs said, Nicely sent him to the Department of Legal Affairs, which, in turn, sent him right back to Nicely. “(The legal department) said, ‘It’s a policy matter, you deal with it as policy,’” Downs said to the board. “I said, “That’s not helpful.’ I said, ‘You’ve got to tell me what the code section is that gives Kathryn the authority to require this before we move the money.’ “They said, ‘Deal with Kathryn.’” Council Chairman

During her times of conflict, she said, the Lord spoke to her and said, “I love you. You are my beloved … and it changed my life.” “The love never,

ever goes away,” she continued. “And one of the things the Lord wants you to understand is you are his beloved. He loves you.”

Overall, this power line will impact the farming in property value, limit crop production, and restrict building under the power lines, the group believes. On Monday March 8, committee representative Latheda Metzger addressed the Wabash County

Commissioners, requesting the commissioners to “assist us in finding another route so that it doesn’t impact the farm ground.” Commissioner Scott Givens said that he thought the farmers group was well organized in their effort to seek a solution. “I do believe that

no other choice, according to Protogere. “While eminent domain gives organizations such as public utilities the right to acquire land rights needed for projects to serve the public, it’s always a last resort,” Protogere said in an interview with The Paper. “Our first goal

is to negotiate in good faith to acquire land rights needed on a voluntary basis. That’s why we met with the landowners to hear their concerns.” The committee requests that the community “review our concerns, converse, contact us, and find resolutions.” “Please feel our

compassion and dedication to this community,” the committee wrote in the press release. “We were chosen as a ‘Stellar Community’ in 2014. A unified community is a productive community.” To suggest an alternative route, email metzgerfarms@frontier.com.

East St. fire still under investigation By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The cause of a house fire on Wednesday, March 4, is still under investigation, Wabash Fire Chief Bob Mullett told The Paper of Wabash County of Friday. The fire, at 824 East St., was reported at 10:36 a.m.

Flames were coming from the front portion of the structure when firefighters arrived on the scene. It took about 30 minutes for the fire to be brought under control. Mullett said a fire inspector from the WFD checked the scene, and the State Fire Marshal also was called in. “We just like to get

an extra set of eyes on it,” Mullett said. The home, owned by Phil and Marilyn Speicher, had someone living in it, the chief said. However, everyone was out of the structure when firefighters arrived. No one was injured in the fire, which caused an estimated $25,000 to the building and its contents. “We are just wait-

ing on the State Fire Marshal’s report,” Mullett said. “I’m sure his investigation is completed, but I’m not sure when the written report will come in.” Until the report is received, the chief said, the fire is still considered “undetermined and under investigation.”

Arnie Bice, Wabash, is the new salesman at Dorias Chevy Buick GMC in Wabash. With 30 years of car salesman experience, Bice started his career at Dorias and is now returning to the team “With the new facility, the addition of Buick and GMC expanded inventory, and while still making customer satisfaction with excellent service and keeping that hometown feel as our main goals, I’m back at Dorias and look forward to helping with all your automotive needs,” Bice said in an interview with The Paper.

Groups dedicate new sign By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

A new gateway sign along Manchester Avenue on the north side of the City of Wabash was dedicated during a ribbon

cutting ceremony on Wednesday, March 4. The new signs grace the north and south entrance into the City of Wabash. Due to a collaborative effort between the Wabash County Chamber of

Commerce, the City of Wabash, Wabash Marketplace and Visit Wabash County, two gateway signs were installed to complement the “Explore Wabash” brand created by the Public Art Sub-Committee for

Abby Hoy, a member of the Public Art Sub Committee of Wabash Marketplace Inc., cuts the ribbon at one of the new gateway signs leading into the city during a dedication ceremony on Wednesday, March 4. Joining her at the dedication ceremony are members of the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce, the City of Wabash, Wabash Marketplace and Visit Wabash County. All the groups collaborated to place the signs, one at the northern entrance to the city and the other at the southern entrance. Photo by Joseph Slacian Wabash Marketplace (WMI). “The second phase of the Creative Placemaking Plan includes addressing current promotional infrastructure that needs updated to fit the brand-message of our community,”

according to Andrea Zweibel chair of the public art sub-committee for WMI. The Explore Wabash signs encourage vehicular traffic to stop and seek out the amenities that the City of Wabash has to offer, according to Christine Flohr, executive director of Visit Wabash County. “Roadside marketing allots for four seconds to leave a controlled message on a person passing by in a vehicle,” she said. “With this concept in mind, the design is simple with a specific call to action: Explore Wabash.” The images chosen to use on the gateway sign are local-based experiences that visitors and residents can

enjoy right here in the City. “We entertained the idea of a more ‘historic’ approach using an old image of the Wabash Cannonball and a few other ideas similar to that,” Flohr said. “However we identified the need for a ‘call to action’. We asked ourselves, what did we want to accomplish with the gateway sign and we all agreed that we wanted people to get stop and stay for a while. “We had drafts of the sign that included ballet dancers, canoeing, walking a dog, people with shopping bags in their hands. All quality of place options, but none that were easily relatable in four seconds.” The signs help

reflect the changes the city has undergone in the last several years. “The City has focused on improving its overall aesthetic for the last eight years,” Mayor Robert Vanlandingham said. “The gateway signs were a necessary upgrade.” The Creative Placemaking Plan is a multi-phase program of WMI and is executed by the Public Art Sub-Committee. Committee members include Zweibel, Abby Hoy, Jordan Tandy, Janet Ecklebarger, M a r y H e t t m a n s p e r g e r, Kellie Brace, Mitch Figert, Kent Henderson and Jennifer Long-Dillon.

Manchester Main Street develops plans for 2015

Derek Jones (from left), Matt Nettleton, Diana Nettleton and Vickie Smith discuss issues during a brainstorming session that was part of the Manchester Main Street’s annual meeting. Photo provided N O R T H MANCHETER — Manchester Main Street (MMS) had its annual meeting on Feb. 18 at the Main View. MMS Vice President Jim Smith welcomed the board, committees and members in attendance, and highlighted several MMS town improvement projects from the 2014 Annual Report that have made positive impacts. “Manchester Main Street accomplished a lot in 2014,” said Smith. “We hosted the biannual Garden Walk and second annual Eel River Arts Festival which showcased our local treasures and attracted residents and tourists to downtown. “Economic conditions were assessed in our annual Business Survey,” he continued. “The Community Trail Network is now officially open. And, advocating for a H i s t o r i c Preservation Ordinance to support the Town’s investment in the d o w n t o w n streetscape and facade renovation programs has led to a

Town Council exploratory committee.” In 2014, MMS grew its member base to 92, and has more than 40 volunteers serving on six active committees – America in Bloom, E c o n o m i c Restructuring, H i s t o r i c Preservation & Design (HP&D), Manchester PATH Group, North Manchester Garden Club, and Promotion & Art. Committee Chairs highlighted upcoming projects from the 2015 Scope of Work. “I am particularly excited about our new Annual Preservation Awards program,” said Dale Carpenter, MMS Board and HP&D committee member. “We will be recognizing commercial and residential property owners for their historic improvements and upkeep.” The Annual Meeting concluded with a creative brainstorming session prioritizing 2015 partnership opportunities for new cultural events, and town asset marketing and promotional strategies. Referencing last year’s Annual

Meeting brainstorm list, three carry over goals were discussed and six new projects identified. “In 2014, Manchester Main Street began the process of outlining its role and core o b j e c t i v e s : ‘Manchester Main Street exists to empower our community to embrace its potential,’” MMS Executive Director Renata Robinson said. “As we look to 2015, we will be focusing our energies on cultivating beneficial strategic relationships, and defining each initiative and project with this overarching goal in mind.” To support Manchester Main Street’s town improvement efforts by becoming a member, visit www.manchestermainstreet.or g to download a 2015 Membership Form.

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Manchester Meals-on-Wheels is now accepting new clients, announced Debbie Chinworth, president of the board of directors. “We’re in our eleventh year and we have the capability to expand our client list,” Chinworth said. “We serve the town of North Manchester and four miles out and we try to have as many as ten clients per driver.” The non-for-profit organization works with Timbercrest Senior Living Community food services to provide clients with an individualized, nutritious meal. Meals are created to meet a client’s dietary needs and are planned in collaboration with an individual’s doctor and the dietary staff at Timbercrest. Clients can range from homebound to citizens who are able to get out of their home, “but still are not safe to cook or just can’t seem to get their meals together,” Chinworth said. Janice Frye, the local organization’s office manager, said that while the Meals-onWheels does service mostly the older community, she would like to see a growth in servicing the younger crowd as well. “We also provide temporary service to while people are recovering from surgery or illnesses or accidents

(that can hinder the ability to cook),” Frye said. “One of the other things I tell people if I’m signing them up is if they’re on walkers or canes or crutches, I try to make them understand that it may not be safe to try and cook.” Frye said that there is a stigma against the service that Meals-onWheels provides because, to some potential clients, it seems like it’s a “charity.” Timbercrest chefs Jean Miller and Patty Avery both agreed that the Meals-on-Wheels program is helpful for the community, and disagreed with the stigma. “It’s not really charity,” Miller said. “I mean they’re paying for the meals and it’s to help them. At least they’re getting a balanced meal where they may be getting nothing.” “I agree with Jean on that,” Avery added. “A balanced meal. They’re getting a hot meal. They’re getting a sack lunch, and I think it does provide them with a good meal healthy meal. I think it’s great.” In addition to providing daily meals, Chinworth and Frye said that sometimes the service is a client’s only connection to its community and can serve as a check-up on an individual who may live alone and not have family in the area. “In this community, there’s a lot of older people who live alone, “ Meals-on-Wheels driver Kay Batdorf said.

“They’re fairly healthy, fairly well to-do health wise and mental wise, but doing the shopping and cooking a meal three times a day is just a little more than they can handle.” “What a lot of people might forget about is if someone had a bad fall or they might be sick or they might have had surgery, you can be on (Meals-on-Wheels) for two weeks or three months and then drop it when they’re healthy again,” Batdorf continued. “It’s not like you’re signing up forever.” Volunteer drivers deliver meals between 11 a.m. and noon with delivery plan options including Monday through Friday or just on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The organization also has an endowment at the Community Foundation of Wabash County. Donations and estate gifts can be sent to the Community Foundation of Wabash County, P.O. Box 7, North Manchester, Ind. 46962. Donations directly to Manchester Meals-on-Wheels are also accepted and can be sent to P.O. Box 248, North Manchester, Ind. 46962.

Local students receive gift baskets Article provided

For Southwood Jr. High School student Kaitlyn Hall and Wabash High School students Nicole and Rachel Adams, having a talk about healthy relationships with their parents paid off with a gift basket of prizes from local businesses. As part of Teen Dating Violence Awareness month in

February, the TADA Group (Teens Against Dating Abuse) at Southwood and Wabash schools encouraged parents to talk to their teens about healthy and unhealthy relationships. This was part of a statewide campaign and a website the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic V i o l e n c e ’ s Stand4Respect.com According to infor-

mation from ICADV, two out of three teens will experience teen dating abuse? Unfortunately, 75 percent of parents don’t talk with their kids about relationships. Yet, by having the conversations parents have the power to set their children up to have safer and healthier relationships across their lifespans. At ICADV their youth council made

up of students from all over the state did focus groups with parents and found parents many times are unsure of how to have the conversation. So, ICADV put together talking points and talking times on the Stand4Respect website Locally, to encourage Wabash County parents to have a conversation, TADA put together gift baskets

in part from money received form the Chili for Charity donation, along with generous donations from local businesses that included: $10 donated from Family Video, toothbrushes toothpaste from Dr. Mattern Dental, a bag and perfume from Goody’s and $5 worth of items from Dollar Tree.

Emmanuel Christian claims state basketball title By The Paper staff INDIANAPOLIS — Emmanuel Christian School’s basketball team captured the Indiana Association of Christian School’s state basketball tourney championship on Saturday, March 7, in Indianapolis. Emmanuel has

been a member of the IACS for 32 years. Coached by Merrill Templin, the school captured the state title for Division II, which is comprised of smaller Christian schools. This is the school’s first state championship. The final game featured top-seeded

Fisher’s Christian Academy and No.2 seeded Emmanuel. The game was close the entire contest, with Emmanuel posting a 60-59 victory. Junior Jeff Miller was the leading scorer with 18 points. He also contributed five assists and six steals. Freshman Ariston

Trusty and sophomore Keanu Rish each added 13 points in the victory. The team and their fans were escorted on a victory lap around the City of Wabash by the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department upon their return from Indianapolis.

Squire freshman leads Squires to sectional win over Southwood By Eric Christiansen A year ago, Koehl Fluke was an eighth grader playing in the Running Rivers Conference tournament in front of dozens of fans. Friday night, in front of a packed Oak Hill gymnasium, the Squire freshman put his team on his back in the fourth quarter of a tight game to

lead them to a 72-50 win over Southwood in the sectional semifinals. The Squires held their biggest lead of 15 points in the third quarter, but the Knights cut it to 45-40 late in the third. That is when Fluke took over. The Squire freshman made it 47-40 as he drove the lane right at 6’5” center Alex Harmon, draw-

ing Harmon’s third foul late in the third quarter. In the early minutes of the fourth quarter, Fluke drove the lane, faked a jumper, then found Keelan Norwood for a bounce pass assist and a 49-40 lead. Southwood cut it back to five points, but Fluke scored on a fast break, followed by a three pointer from Chainey

Zolman for a 54-44 Squire lead. On Southwood’s next possession, Zolman picked up his fourth foul and was forced to the bench. With the team’s second leading scorer Chase Fierstos also on the bench, Fluke took over. “I had to step up since Chainey and Chase were both out,” Fluke said. “I (Continued on page 22)

Wabash County high school sports on Wabash WebTV

By Bill Barrows

As we move into the next faze of the high school sports season, I would like to take this time to thank some very important people who have helped us along the way in making the season to this point a success. First of all, a collective “thank you” to all of the student-athletes and their parents who have provided tons of memorable moments that we have wit-

nessed to this point. Without you, there is little reason for us to document Wabash County sports exploits. Another group that deserves a lot of credit are the coaches, who prepare the student athletes each and every day for their shining moments during the season. Long hours of preparation, practice sessions, meetings, interviews, dealing with weather conditions and schedule changes make their labor of love a tough road to navigate at times. The athletic directors of the local high schools put in countless hours during the school year setting up events, supervising those events, hiring officials, rescheduling events, dealing with

weather conditions, finding volunteer help and even occasionally caring for fields. They also have to schedule and contract future events, let alone having to deal with media types me. I would like to thanks them for their diligence and patience and making Wabash WebTV feel welcome since our introduction into the media market. And lastly, I would like to acknowledge our viewers as well as the Readers of The Paper. This type of media is the wave of the future and we love doing it for you and will try to refine the broadcasts to continually upgrade it and make it top notch. Speaking for our commentators, Rick Harness, Jim Landrum, Tim

Harness, Troy Miller and Chandler Jones as well as our tech and support staff, Donald Collins, Dave Prater and Julie Schnepp, we thank you all. More broadcast to come as we get into the spring and early summer. Join Wabash WebTV for exciting action of Indiana High School basketball every week and on select dates for swimming, wrestling and baseball in season. The Wabash WebTV basketball schedule will be published in The Paper of Wabash County as well as broadcast on Wabash WebTV. 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 the games.

Manchester falls in double overtime By Eric Christiansen Two teams with nearly identical records, Manchester (17-7) and Oak Hill (176), clashed in the championship game of the Oak Hill Boys’ Basketball Sectional Saturday night. The game saw nine lead changes, 14 ties and two extra periods of play. Oak Hill’s biggest lead of the game was six points, while Manchester’s largest advantage was five. In the end, it was Oak Hill who emerged as sectional champions with a 67-63 double overtime win over the Squires. “This was a great game to be a part of,” Manchester coach Eric Thompson said. “It’s too bad we had to end up on this side of it.” The Squires had their chances at the end of regulation and both overtime periods, but weren’t able to convert. Oak Hill took a 52-50 lead with 2:08 left in the fourth quarter, but Chase Fierstos nailed a 19-foot

jumper with 1:41 remaining to tie it up at 52-52. Oak Hill didn’t waste anytime trying to regain the lead as Jon Mauk went up for a jumper, but was off the mark with 1:25 left in regulation. The Squires patiently moved the ball around, waiting to take the final shot for the win. With seven seconds left, Fierstos took the ball on the left wing, dribbled to the top of the key, moved left and pulled up for the winning basket, but it was partially blocked, sending the game into overtime. In the first overtime, Fierstos started with a drive to the basket and was fouled. The junior, who finished with 32 points, hit both free throws for a 54-52 lead with 3:03 left in overtime. Mauk answered right back with a baseline jumper to tie it up with 2:46 remaining. Fierstos once again earned a trip to the free throw line, hit-

ting both for a 56-54 lead with 1:31 left. Oak Hill tied it up with two free throws of their own with 1:15 left, but David McAtee hit a 16-foot jumper with 36 seconds left to give the Squires a 5856 lead. Mauk once again came up big for the Golden Eagles with two free throws to tie things up at 58-58 with 20.6 seconds left in the extra period, but the Squires had one more chance. With four seconds left, Chainey Zolman tried to send the Squires to the Tipton Regional with a 3point attempt, but the shot was off the mark. Fierstos grabbed the miss, but was in traffic and couldn’t get a shot off in time, sending the game into a second overtime. This time, it was Oak Hill who took control early with a basket from Christian Livinsgton with 3:33 left for a 60-58 lead. Fierstos tied it up with a pull-up jumper with 3:10 left, but Mauk scored on a (Continued on page 22)

Tickets on sale for two new concerts By The Paper staff

Tickets are now on sale for two new concerts coming to the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater. Whitesnake will bring its “The Purple Tour” to the Center on Wednesday, July 8. Meanwhile, Jackie Evancho will perform in concert on Friday, Nov. 20. Whitesnake’s tour is in support of its twelfth studio album, The Purple Album,”

which will be released on May 19. The album is a reimagination of classic songs from David Coverdale’s time as lead singer for Deep Purple. “It’s a tribute. A homage. It’s a huge thank you from me to Deep Purple for the opportunity I was given over 40 years ago,” Coverdale said in a news release. “As I said to Ritchie (Blackmore of Deep Purple), you guys set

me on an incredible journey that continues today and I couldn’t have asked for better teachers.” Whitesnake was formed in England in 1978 following Coverdale’s departure from Deep Purple. The band’s 1987 self-titled album was its most commercially successful worldwide, and had two major hits in the United States, “Here I Go Again” and “Is

This Love.” The songs reached No.1 and No.2, respectively. The band broke up after its 1989 release of “Slip of the Tongue.” It had a reunion in 1994, and released “Restless Heart” in 1997. The band officially reformed in 2002 and has been touring together since. Tickets for the Whitesnake concert are $45, $65 and $100. Rettig’s Industrial

Supply sponsors the show. Evancho, 15, is an American classical crossover singer who gained recognition at an early age. Since 2009, she has issued an EP and five albums, including a platinum and gold album. Born in 2000, Evancho entered several talent competitions between 2008 and 2010. In 2010, she gained popularity for her performances

during the fifth season of “America’s Got Talent,” in which she finished in second pace. She released her EP, “O Holy Night” during the 2010 holiday season. Her first full-length album, “Dream With Me,” was released in June 2011. As part of her tour for the album, she became the youngest person to

ever perform a solo concert in Lincoln Center in New York City. Tickets for Evancho’s concert are $29, $49 and $100. Tickets are available at the Honeywell Center Box Office, by calling 260-563-1102 or by going to the Center’s webpage, www.honeywellcenter.org.

Late winter is time for wildlife habitat projects By The Paper staff Beat cabin fever and help wildlife by tackling habitat improvement projects this winter. Late winter is the best time to pursue many wildlife habitat projects. The ground is often dry or frozen, the timing prevents conflicts with nesting wildlife in spring, and managing wooded and shrubby areas is easier to do before leaves emerge and sap flows. Suggestions from winter habitat management include: — Conduct woodland edge enhancement and fencerow rejuvenation. Winter is the best time to cut brush, limbs and trees for “feathering” edges between mature woodlands and grasslands, wetlands or agricultural areas. — Create forest openings. Forest openings benefit numerous wildlife species, and now is the best time to make such openings. — Make brush piles. Brush piles create escape-cover for game birds, songbirds, small mammals, and many other forms of wildlife. Piles placed close to

transitional areas between habitat types provide increased benefits. — Build and hang nesting boxes. Winter is a great time of year to buy or build nesting boxes and strategically place them. — Clean and maintain nesting boxes. If you already have nesting boxes, clean them to prepare them for spring use. — Frost seed. Winter soil conditions are opti-

mal for planting small seeds. Common frostseeding species include introduced legumes such as clovers, alfalfa and birdsfoot trefoil. Frost seeding also can be effective for warmseason grasses, wildflowers and food plots. — Employ sodium supplementation: Rabbits are one of many mammals that benefit from sodium supplementation. Crush salt blocks and distribute the frag-

ments along field borders and habitat edges. Late winter and early spring is when mammals benefit most from sodium supplementation. Sodium supplementation is not to be confused with using baits, lures or attractants while hunting, which is illegal. Further information on species and habit is a t wildlife.IN.gov/2352.ht m under “Landowner Assistance.”

Squire freshman leads Squires to sectional win over Southwood... continued from page 19 just had to step up.” Once again, Fluke went at Harmon and converted a 3-point play, giving Harmon his fourth foul. He then got a steal on the Knights’ next possession and was fouled. He calmly hit two free throws for a 59-46 lead with 4:08 left. Thirty seconds later, Fluke got a steal, drove the lane

and found Norwood again inside for an easy bucket. After a Knight miss, Fluke repeated the play from before, finding Norwood again for a 63-46 lead. He capped off the night by splitting the Knights’ defense for a driving lay-up and a 65-46 lead with 2:02 left in the game. “We started playing

as a team, we stepped up on defense, and we rebounded well tonight,” Fluke a d d e d . “This was a huge win,” Manchester coach Eric Thompson said. I’m very proud of every one of the guys.” The Squires started off hot with three straight drives from Fierstos and took an

11-4 lead with a basket from Braydon Sewell and a three pointer from Fluke. The Knights cut the to 15-14 behind a 7-0 run, but Fluke nailed his second 3-pointer of the game. The Squires used an 8-0 run midway through the second quarter for a 35-22 lead, and held a 39-27 lead at halftime.

In the second half, they held their biggest lead of 43-28, but the Knights fought back. Harmon scored inside, followed by a 3pointer from Robbie Cole, baskets from Noah Kirk and Carson Blair, and a free throw from Kirk to cut the Squire lead to 43-38 with 1:26 left in the third. David McAtee stopped the run with a drive right at Harmon, but Brandin Frazier kept the lead at five with a drive. But that is when Fluke got going heading into the fourth quarter. “When it was 47-40, we just went in the offensive tank after that,” Southwood coach John Burrus

said. “We couldn’t get buckets when we needed them, we missed free throws, and turnovers hurt us. “Manchester was a constant,” he continued. “Fluke and McAtee kept going at Harmon, which, he erased a few, but give them credit, they didn’t back down and kept coming.” Thompson was impressed with his team’s overall performance after the game. “The guys did a good job of communicating and trying to make reads on what Southwood was going to do,” he said. “I thought we did a good job of rebounding. We gave them one shot most of the time.

“We put some new stuff in and the guys responded,” he added. “The guys are very smart with high basketball IQs and are very fundamental.” Fluke led the Squires with 19 points, while Zolman had 12, and McAtee had 11. Norwood had eight points, Fierstos had seven, Sewell had six, C a m e r o n Brandenburg had five, and Branden Scott and Levi Hicks both had two. For Southwood, freshman Carson Blair had 15 points, Harmon had nine, Cole had seven, Kirk had seven, Frazier had six, Payton Trexler had four, and Matthew Nose had three.

Manchester falls in double overtime ... continued from page 19 Mauk scored on a baseline drive for Oak Hill for a 62-60 lead. Zolman answered for the Squires with a baseline drive with 2:09 left, but Mauk once again hurt Manchester, converting a 3-point play with 1:18 left to put the Golden Eagles up 6552. The score remained 65-62 when David McAtee was fouled with 25.3 seconds left and went to the line for a one-and-one. McAtee’s shot was off the mark, forcing the Squires to foul. Livingston gave Oak Hill a 66-62 lead with 19.5 seconds left with a 1-2 trip to the line. With 13 seconds left, Zolman missed a 3pointer, but McAtee grabbed the rebound and was fouled trying to shoot a long jumper with 5.7 seconds left. The Squire sophomore hit the first free throw to cut the lead to 66-63, and intentionally missed the second to give Manchester a shot at the rebound. Instead, Livingston grabbed it for Oak Hill and was fouled. Livingston missed the first free throw with 2.7 seconds left, giving the Squires hope of one last possession to tie the game. Instead, Livingston hit the second, giving the game and the sectional championship to Oak Hill. “We had our chances,” Thompson said. “We had good

looks at the end of regulation and the first overtime at the end, and we had a good, clean look in the last minute to tie it up in the second overtime, but it just went in an out. It’s the way the ball bounces I guess.” The first 31 minutes weren’t much different than the final nine, with both teams battling back and forth throughout. Fierstos made up for a short night in the semi-finals, scoring Manchester’s first eight points, but Oak Hill took a 16-10 lead after the first quarter. The Squires battled foul trouble all game with Zolman and fellow starter Braydon Sewell picking up two fouls in the first quarter. “It was hard to deal with starters in heavy foul trouble all night,” Thompson added. “Our guys did a very good job of staying in as long as they could.” Oak Hill led for much of the second quarter until Fierstos hit a 3-pointer, and Keelan Norwood scored inside for a 2724 lead. Fierstos gave Manchester a 30-25 lead with another 3pointer, but Oak Hill cut it to 30-29 at halftime. Oak Hill focused on stopping Fierstos to start the second half, but Zolman picked up the slack, scoring the Squires’ first two baskets for a 35-31 lead. But Oak Hill took a 40-39 lead into the

fourth quarter. McAtee took his turn with the hot hand, hitting a 3pointer and a long jumper for a 44-42 lead, but Oak Hill answered with five straight points for a 47-44 lead, leading up to a hectic final nine minutes. “I’m very proud of the way the guys played through things tonight,” Thompson said. “It was a great atmosphere. Our fans traveled great, and Oak Hill had a big crowd. Both student sections were great. Thanks to the Manchester faithful.” Along with the 32 points from Fierstos, Zolman had 14 points, McAtee added 11, and Norwood, Koehl Fluke, and Cameron Brandenburg each had two points. Livingston and Mauk each had 20 for Oak Hill, and Caleb Maggard had 18. The Squires say good-bye to seniors Zolman, Brandenburg and Branden Scott. “All three of those guys did a fantastic job all year long,” Thompson said. “They fulfilled roles of what we needed, and I’m very proud of them. We are definitely going to miss them.” The Squires end the season with a 17-8 record, the Three Rivers Conference championship, and the Wabash County Tournament championship.

VIEWPOINT Guidelines for campaign letters The 2015 Primary Election is less than two months away. Wabash, North Manchester and LaFontaine all have races. We are sure that residents in those communities have opinions on who should win each race and why. The Paper of Wabash County would like to hear from voters as to why they support one candidate or another, and invite the voters to share their opinion via a letter to the editor. However, The Paper has some very specific guidelines, which must be followed when writing a letter of support for a candidate. First and foremost, there are to be no attacks on a candidate or his or her character. If you disagree with a candidate on a particular issue or two, let us know that and, more important-

ly, why you disagree. Letters deemed to include personal attacks will not be printed. Likewise, personal attacks on a candidate’s family or place of business are off limits. Letters containing such attacks will not be printed. Also, letters containing charges of misconduct of a candidate while performing his or her duties will be considered for publication. However, the letter writer must include proof of the allegations. Without proof, the letter will not be considered. The deadline for letters supporting candidates in the May 5 primary election is noon Thursday, April 23. No campaign letters will be printed after Wednesday, April 29. Likewise, letters received after the noon deadline will not be printed. As with all letters to

the editor, the letters become the property of The Paper of Wabash County and the newspaper reserves the right to edit letters for length, content and readability. Letters may be mailed to The Paper of Wabash County, PO Box 603, Wabash, IN 46992. They also may be hand carried to The Paper’s office, 606 N. State Road 13, Wabash, or faxed to 260-563-2863. All letters must be signed by the writer. Letters may be emailed to news@thepaperofwabash.com. All submissions, including by e-mail, must include an address and daytime telephone number for verification. Again, as with all letters to the editor, please try to keep your comments to 500 words or less.

Benefit was a success Dear Editor I want to thank everybody from the Wabash County community who made the Jonathan Fawley benefit possible with all the donated items. I am proud to say I gave the check to the Jonathan Fawley Family for medical needs. That was

raised from the Fund’s For Fawley Quarter Paddle

Auction totaling $2,600. Thank you! — Danielle Castle

Consider donating blood Stop and consider some of these facts: — More than 4.5 million patients in the U.S. and Canada need blood transfusions annually. — About 43,000 pints of donated blood are used daily in the U.S. and Canada. — Every two seconds, someone, somewhere is in the need of blood. When you consider these facts, it’s safe to say that donating blood is something that each and everyone of use should strongly consider. However, the fact is, we don’t. In fact, a mere fraction of those Americans who can donate blood do so. According to Blood Centers of the Pacific, a nonprofit, community-based organization that provides blood and blood components to hospitals, physicians and patients throughout Northern California, only 37 percent of the United States population is eligible to

donate blood. Of that 37 percent — roughly 120 million people – only 10 percent – or roughly 12 million people – donate blood on an annual basis. The American Red Cross is the largest blood-collecting agency in the U.S., gathering about 40 percent of all blood and blood products in the country. It accounts for about 5.6 million blood donations annually and more than 8 million transfusable blood products. March has been designated as Red Cross Month. What better way to show your support of this organization that rolling up your sleeve and donating a pint of blood? There are always one or two blood drives in Wabash County each month. One took place earlier this month in North Manchester, while another is scheduled for Friday at the First United Methodist Church in Wabash.

Giving blood is a simple procedure that generally lasts about one hour from start to finish. The actual blood draw takes about 10 minutes. Blood donors come from all walks of life, from high school students to senior citizens. Why do they do it? That answer is easy. Donating blood can help save a person’s life during trauma, or it can help someone else suffering from such things as thalassaemia — a blood disorder involving less than normal amounts of an oxygen-carrying protein – or sickle cell anemia — a group of disorders that cause red blood cells to become misshapen and break down. One must be at least 17 years of age to donate blood. Indiana is one of nearly 30 states that allow those 16 years of age to donate, with parental consent. Donors also must weigh at least 110 pounds, be in good

general health and be feeling well on donation day. For those who are either coming down with or just getting over the cold or flu, it is best to wait before donating. Donors also must wait a minimum of 56 days – or about every two months – to donate whole blood. People have a wide variety of reasons for not giving blood. They are too busy, they have recently been ill or the old stand-by, they are deathly afraid of needles. Those who donate are the complete opposite. They give, they say, because they “want to help others.” We can think of no better reason to give blood than that. If you are capable of donating blood, we strongly encourage you to consider doing so. Appointments to donate can be made at redcrossblood.org or by calling 800-7332767.

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.

THE PAPER 24 Indianapolis Opera tours Wabash County for Senior Outreach Program www.thepaperofwabash.com

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Last week, the Indianapolis Opera Ensemble visited several Wabash senior facilities as part of the Honeywell Foundation’s Senior Outreach Program. According to a H o n e y w e l l Foundation press release, the purpose of the outreach program is to provide fun and entertaining artrelated opportunities for older, active adults, reaching senior living facilities in a five-county region including Wabash, Miami, Huntington, Grant and Fulton. The ensemble included vocalists

Briana Sosenheimer, Lyndsay Moy, Daniel Lopez, Jacob Pence, and accompanist Greg Gibson on piano. The quartet, which met each other for the first time on Feb. 27, performed songs from famous operas ranging from “Don Giovanni” to “Samson and Delilah.” “I think a lot of what we did was familiar music,” Moy said in an interview. “You’ve probably heard the ‘Rigoletto Quartet’ in the background of some Italian food commercial and pieces in movies and things. Yeah they’re all over the place. “But pieces that

March 11, 2015

people might not be as familiar with, we still get some staging in there and acting and keep it very engaged, so that we might still communicate the story and the meaning of the text without (the audience) knowing exactly what we’re saying.” Singing in Italian, English, German, and French, before each piece, the ensemble introduced the scene that the song was set within its individual opera. “I think people are just way less scared when they know they’re going to be able to understand the language,” Moy said. “It’s good to demystify opera so people can approach

it and think, ‘Oh I can do this.’” “The stories are still relevant and the characters are still r e l e v a n t , ” Sosenheimer added, “and it still relates to this time period even if it was written back in the 1700s.” The quartet said that, currently, their tour is just local to Wabash, contracted by the Honeywell Foundation, and they’re having a great time traveling to the different senior facilities in the area. “The point of us is to spread awareness, not only for the art form opera itself, but also for the Indianapolis Opera who is under new artistic leadership

The Indianapolis Opera Ensemble toured Wabash senior centers last week to spread awareness and the enjoyment of opera. The ensemble included vocalists (from left) Daniel López, Lyndsay Moy, Briana Sosenheimer, and Jacob Pence. Photo by Emma Rausch and taking in a new direction,” Lopez said. “So our hope is when people see it up close and personal

and they’ll say, ‘Oh this opera thing is really fun!’ Then we say, ‘Guess what? There are subtitles (at

the Indianapolis Opera performances). You’ll know what we’re saying even when you don’t.’”

Wabash County Historical Museum engages community in open house By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

On Friday March 6, the Wabash County Historical Museum opened its doors to the Wabash community to invite children and parents alike to experience the museum’s new kids-play exhibits. Mitch Figert, the

museum’s executive director board president, said that it was great to see the community support the museum’s open house and development. “It’s been fun to see (the new exhibit) come together and this is really kind of the finale for us, to see everyone come and enjoy the space,” Figert said. “With

First Friday and everything going on, the show at Honeywell tonight, we didn’t know (how many people would come) and it really is great to see everyone come out and I think it speaks volumes to the support we have from the community.” From a stage and costume area to walkthrough tugboat and

climbable tree, the museum’s new exhibit encourages children, like Davy Falder, 8, to learn through play about different daily life environments. Davy said that she really liked coming to the open house. “I like the house and the barn and all the stuffed pigs and horses,” Davy said. “(My favorite is) the stuffed horses.” “We’ve had a lot of people talk about when they walk into the front door they were hearing the kids up here laughing and playing and that’s exactly what we wanted to do,” Figert said. “We’re kind of breaking the museum mold a little bit. Usually museums are quite and we wanted to try something different. So it’s going to be a little noisier in here, but that shows growth.” Open house attendee and Davy’s mother Tricia Falder said that she thinks the museum’s new exhibit is a great resource for young

25 Northfield senior wins Optimist essay contest THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

March 11, 2015

Article provided Jeremy Nevil, a senior at Northfield High School, was the first place winner in the Wabash Optimist Club’s Wabash County Essay Contest. His winning essay, selected from a field of 128 essays, has been sent to the Indiana North District chair-

man in Muncie for evaluation and judging in the next level of competition. The top award for the district is a $2,500 scholarship. Other local winners are second place Caleb Kroh from Northfield High School and a third place tie between Cassaundra Amman from Manchester High School and Darian

Reynolds from Wabash High School. Only six points separated the top winners, contest officials said. Optimist will honor the four winners during a breakfast meeting at 6:45 on Wednesday, April 1, at Ugalde’s. The parents of the students and the school superintendents will be invited to

attend that meeting also. The theme of this year’s contest was “Optimism Should Be a Priority.” Three judges, following an established evaluation tool, judged the essays. Wabash club representatives said they appreciate the support of high school English teachers who encour-

aged their students to enter the contest. Some of the teachers used this essay as a required class assignment. Participating teachers were Samantha Kramer and Ryan Sincroft from Northfield, Dave Zinsmeister and Rhonda Snover from Manchester, Lori Overmyer and Erin

Sapusek from Wabash, and Michelle Sparling from Southwood. The club appreciates the time spent by the three judges as they carefully rated each of the essays. Carrying the motto “Bringing Out the Best in Kids,” Optimists conduct positive service projects that reach more than six million

young people each year. The essay contest and oratorical contest are the largest projects as students compete for college scholarships. The local oratorical contest is scheduled during March. The Wabash Club also provides monetary support for local youth activities.

increasing attention in recent years for a wide variety of individuals throughout the community, including senior citizens, Autumn Ridge officials note. As humans, interactions may be quite complex and unpredictable; however, animals provide a continuous source of comfort and focus for attention. Animals not only bring out our nurturing instinct, but they also make us feel safe and unconditionally accepted, they continued. “It’s been a life changing experience having a cat living with us on our memory care hallway,” said Lindsey LeBlanc, Autumn Ridge’s Memory Care facilitator. “Residents that were previously nonverbal have begun interacting and talking with Riddler; it’s beautiful to be able to witness people open up and talk with our new pet.” There is an extensive list of the proven benefits of pet therapy in regards to physical health towards senior citizens, Autumn Ridge offi-

Morris Williams, a resident of Autumn Ridge Rehabilitation Centre’s Auguste’s Cottage, takes a minute to pet Riddler. Photo provided cials said. These include lower blood pressure as well as the releasing of endorphins, which promote a calming effect. Also, the act of petting produces an automatic relaxation response, which in turn can reduce the amount of medication use for some

individuals. There are also a number of benefits in regards to mental health; including a decrease in the feeling of loneliness, a reduction of boredom, and a lower sensation of isolation and alienation. “Riddler has definitely brought our hearts together here

at Autumn Ridge,” LeBlanc said. “He provides that little extra calming sense of home that we strive to maintain on Auguste’s Cottage; which allows us to further our mission to bring the best care possible for those with dementia.”

DAR members learn about founders Article provided NORTH MANCHESTER — The monthly meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) took place Feb. 10 at the North Manchester Public Library, Blocher Room. Prospective member guest was Joan Shripka. Linda Thompson opened the meeting with the DAR ritual. Barbara Amiss read the February President General’s message from Lynn Forney Young. “Building upon 125 years of service to America, today’s DAR is vital, engaging and more important than ever before,” the message read. “I am so excited to launch this special anniversary celebration of DAR all year long.” DAR members have been living outside of the United States almost from the time the National Society was founded and you may be surprised to know that the very first of these units overseas was in Honolulu, Hawaii, in1897. There are now have 25 chapters in 13 countries and one U.S. Territory. Barbara Amiss

shared the National Defender report on the 70th anniversary of Iwo Jima. “Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima” is a historic photograph taken on Feb. 23, 1945, by Joe Rosenthal. It became the only photograph to win the Pulitzer prize for Photography in the same year as its publication, and ultimately came to be regarded as one of the most significant and recognizable images of the war, and possibly the most reproduced photograph of all time. The flag raising picture was later used by Felix de Weldon to sculpt the 1954 Marine Corps War Memorial, located adjacent to Arlington National Cemetery. The cost of the statue was $850,000 which was paid for with donations mostly from U.S. Marines, no public funds were used. The official dedication of the memorial by President Dwight D. Eisenhower occurred on Nov. 10, 1954, the 179th anniversary of the Marine Corps. On June 12, 1961, President John F. Kennedy issued a proclamation that a Flag of the United States should fly from the memorial 24 hours a day, one of the few official sites where

this is required. Celebrate American volunteer hours for January was 236. All members were encouraged to record their volunteer hours to help contribute to the National Celebrate American Project of 12 million hours. A State Regent’s Project pin was awarded to Avonne Lee Knecht who has given of her time and talent for working on the community Angel Tree Project at the holiday season. The project was started in 2003 and has continued for the past eleven years. The Angel Tree Project reflects the objective of the National Society of DAR and the Indiana DAR. The chapter is collecting plastic lids to be given to the disabled veterans; who in turn have them transformed into cool benches and chairs and sell them. It takes 200 lbs. of plastic lids to make a bench. The program for February was about the DAR American Heritage Founders given by Charlotte Blair, State Registrar from Columbia City. DAR’s first organizational meeting of the National Society was on October 11, 1890, in Washington, D.C. It was chartered by

Congress in1896 and must report to Congress each year. Originally the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) admitted female members until the practice was outlawed at the organization’s first national congress in April 1890. This action directly led to the founding of the DAR six months later. The four founders were anything but traditional. Two were single and two were widowed; two were from the North and two from the South, and all four were working women who supported either children or extended family. Mary Desha was from Lexington, Kentucky. She was well educated and for a short time studied at what is now the University of Kentucky. When her family was impoverished by the Civil War, and the women were needed to provide an income, Mary and her mother opened a private school in which they taught their friends’ children. Mary S. Lockwood was born in Hanover, New York, in 1831. She moved to Washington, D.C., in about 1878. Mrs. Lockwood’s residence was Washington’s elegant

and imposing Strathmore Arms, and it was there on Oct. 11, 1890, the formal organization of the NSDAR took place. Mrs. Lockwood was the NSDAR’s first historian. Ellen Hardin Walworth was born in Jacksonville, Ill., into the well known Hardin family of Kentucky. She was an author, lawyer, and activist who was a passionate advocate for the importance of studying history and hist o r i c preservation. She was the organization’s first secretary general and one of the first people to propose the establishment of the United States National Archives. Eugenia Scholay Washington was an American Historian, born in 1838 near Charles Town, Va., in present-day West Virginia. She was the daughter of William Temple Washington, through whom she was a great grandniece of George Washington, and a grandniece of Dolley Payne Todd Madison. Following her family’s relocation to Stafford County, Eugenia and her family witnessed the Battle of Fredericksburg first hand during the

American Civil War. Of the four founders, none of them served as the President General. An official leader of “individual of prominence” who lent prestige and perhaps even financial support but otherwise were often merely figureheads were selected as president. In 1890, the organizing members of DAR chose first lady Caroline Scott Harrison, from Indiana, as their first President General. The next meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter will be at 7

Genealogical Society gets program on indexing Article provided

The Wabash County Genealogical Society met February 16, 2015 at the Dallas Winchester Senior Center with 21 members present. Melanie Penn opened the meeting. Treasurers’ and Secretary’s Reports were read and approved. Ron Woodward presented to Robert Patrick Lewis Lowry a First Family Certificate in honor of being the descendent of Benedict W Lowry (1811-1886). Benedict Lowery was on the 1835 Tax List making him an early settler of W a b a s h County. Lowery was an Associate Judge in Wabash County and owned a lot (35) in Wabash. By 1860 he and his family had moved to Missouri. He is buried in the Lagro Cemetery and his will filed in the Wabash County Court on

March 10, 1886. The First Family Certificate was the idea of the Wabash County Genealogical Society in 2010. Ten certificates have been issued to descendants of early settlers who can prove their relationship to a person who settled in Wabash County by 1835. Anyone desiring more information including an application can find it on the Wabash County GenWeb site. Linda Jervis read a article called “Grandma’s Apron” It told about all the things her apron was used for like gathering eggs, dusting the house, bringing apples and garden vegetables in from outside, taking hot pans from oven and keeping her dress clean since she didn’t have very many dresses. Aprons take less material to make and are easier to launder. Jervis had on an apron that belonged

to her mother that was made from a pattern her grandmother used. Penn gave the program on “Indexing”. Individuals can volunteer to do indexing for Family Search.org o r Ancestry.Com. Here are some reasons why one should volunteer to do indexing: it helps others. It also benefits the genealogist by learning how to read the old hand

writing styles and also learn about specific types of records one may not have know existed. . Penn also passed out slips of paper with “Tips for Searching Badly Transcribed Records” Next meeting will be on March 16 at the Archives at the Wabash County Historical Museum with Heather Allen giving the tour of the Archives.

Postsecondary Career and Technical Education Awards for Excellence from the Indiana Department of Education. The awards were presented recently in a public ceremony at the Indiana Government Center in Indianapolis, recognizing a public/private industry/workforce development partnership including Ivy Tech as well as the Ivy Tech Automotive Institute Program in Kokomo. The Ivy Tech initiatives were among five postsecondary programs and four partnerships recognized by the state for excellence in career and technical education, including three other programs from Ivy Tech campuses in Lafayette and Fort Wayne. The partnership award recognized efforts by Ivy Tech in Kokomo, FCA Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and the Region 4 Workforce Board to address what each viewed as an employment gap in the Kokomo area. Specifically, high-skill jobs were opening up and the available workforce was not sufficiently trained to meet the demand. Through the partners’ efforts, Ivy Tech received a $3.27 million grant from the federal government to expand its Integrated T e c h n o l o g y Education Program to

students in area high schools and career centers, including the Heartland Career Center. FCA committed to match grant funds with $900,000 and 14 schools and career centers joined as supporters of the initiative. Since announcement of the federal grant, FCA received a $100,000 grant through the Center for Education and Career Innovation to expand training facilities at its Tipton transmission plant and the Tecumseh Area Partnership received a $7.6 million grant to provide longterm unemployed adults with an opportunity to retrain and enter the workforce. Implementation of the Automotive Institute in Kokomo began in the fall semester of 2012, developed in response to demands for increasing student retention and completion rates and providing graduates with the skills to fill the needs of industry in a shorter period of time. The institute operates within the School of Technology to deliver programs of one year or less that are structured around industry-recognized certifications. It is a fast track into the work field, preparing students to start their careers in new car dealerships and independent repair facilities working on newer high technology equipped vehicles in a professional environment.

Milford resident speaks to Laketon Lions Article provided

NORTH MANCHESTER – Jeri Seeley of the Milford Lions was the guest speaker when the Laketon Lions had its February dinner at the Main View Inn. Seeley, chair of the

Lions District Leadership Dog project, spoke on the first leader dog kennel that began in Rochester, Mich., 75 years ago. Today, there are seven schools across the United States, and there always is a need for pups. Labs and

golden retrievers are the most popular for leader dogs for the blind. However, if a person in need is allergic to an animal, they will be placed with a standard poodle. Between 250 and 300 dogs are placed annually.

Sorority makes donation to FAME Article provided Sigma Phi Gamma Sorority, Nu Chapter, Wabash, met at Modoc’s for their February meeting. Members voted to donate to FAME to sponsor a Visiting Guest Artist and to Visiting Nurse and Hospice Home in memory of Katherine Brady, a former member. Thank you letters

for donations were received from FISH director Janet Shoue, Wabash County United Fund, Wabash Area M i n i s t e r i a l Association for gift lift contribution to Bowen Center, and Nikki Holmes and Metro School Nurses for Hygiene bags, socks, and gift cards. Other correspondence included a note from Alice

Martin and flyers for candidates for province and international offices. Hostesses Bonnie Corn and Linda Gabel provided Valentine candy bars to everyone. The Bingo fundraiser will be April 21 at REMC. The next meeting is scheduled for March 3 at 7 p.m. at the Honeywell Center.

A project of the Lions Club, Leader Dogs for the Blind has been supported for 60plus years by donations of clubs and club members. Lions Club s have sponsored approximately 70 percent of Leader Dog students, ranging in age from 18 to 90. They attend the program’s 25-day training session completely free of charge. Funding for Leader Dogs for the Blind operates entirely on donated funds. Approximately 40,000 men and women lose their sight each year and Leader Dogs for the Blind is one of the largest producing schools of its kind in the world. To receive information on making a gift, call the director of development at 248650-7102. Business included the annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, March 28, at the Laketon Fire Station.

Delegates attending will be President Becky Warmuth, Denise

March 12 meeting. Initiation will take place for new members Glendon Morgan and Cindy Johnson. Twelve members were in attendance, along with guests Bud Seeley of Milford, Alicia Unger and Glendon Morgan.
