Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

Former MU student pleads not guilty By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Mikayla Munn, the former Manchester University student who was charged with murder in the death of her newborn son, entered a not guilty plea Wednesday morning, May 4, in Wabash Circuit Court. Munn, 21, Elkhart, also was charged with neglect of a dependent resulting in death. A Sept. 13 trial date was set in Wabash Circuit Court. Munn was arrested at her Elkhart home on Monday, May

2, on a Wabash County warrant. She was transported to the Elkhart County Jail until she was brought to Wabash County. The arrest is the result of a death investigation by Indiana State Police Detective Josh Maller and North Manchester Police Detective Sergeant Jon Pace. The investigation was brought about by what Indiana State Police called inconsistent information, as it related to the evidence. Munn is a former member of the Manchester University

women’s volleyball team and also served as a resident assistant at the university. The Paper of Wabash County has obtained the probable cause affidavits filed with Wabash Circuit Court by Maller and Pace. Because of the graphic nature of the descriptions in the affidavits, The Paper has opted to report the bare minimum of what they say. According to Maller’s probable cause affidavit, Munn called 911 at approximately 11:28 p.m. March 8 and informed the North Manchester dispatch she

Future Phase

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Phase 1 of the Wabash River Trail begins in Lagro and follows the river to Paradise Springs Park on the east side of Wabash where it connects with the existing Riverwalk Trail. A trailhead in Lagro will enhance the area around Kerr Lock and provide opportunities for fishing, river access, and camping. The area adjacent to the local ice cream shop and antique dealer will be converted into a wide, pedestrian-friendly public space, and the existing canoe launch at IN 254 will be improved. Mountain bike trails could be developed just west of town. A canoe-bike loop could be established between Lagro and Wabash, with nature trails developed where canoes pull out at the end of the loop. Coming into Paradise Springs Park, the trail will pass underneath a railroad bridge before connecting to the existing park trail system.

Local group plans 33 mile trail along Wabash River By The Paper staff A multi-purpose river trail is in the works to be constructed along portions of the Wabash River, the Wabash River Trail, Inc., a local nonprofit organization, announced Monday, May 9. The proposed Wabash River Trail will be a 33-mile long paved pathway that will connect Huntington, Lagro, Wabash and Peru. It will also be 10 feet wide and mostly flat with a gentle grade in some areas. The aim of the privately-funded project is to blend community pathway, river recreation,

canal history and land conservation while also attracting cyclists, runners, walkers, canoeists and kayakers, according to the news release. The trail will be developed in three phases. Phase I, which includes a 6.6 mile stretch from Paradise Spring Historical Park in Wabash to Lagro, is scheduled to begin construction on the first mile and a half in August. The construction will start east of Kerr Lock on the edge of Lagro and will continue west to the end of Basin Street. Once Phase I is complete, effort to begin Phases II and III will commence.

For 30 years, The Access Youth Center has provided youth from around Wabash County with a safe place to spend time after school, in the evenings and on the weekend. The faith-based center hosts a variety of programs to help fill the needs of youth and their families, including the after school meal and summer lunch programs, family nights, Bible study and more. Officials there are now reaching out to the public to help them with a need of their own. The Access, 74 W. Canal St., is in need of a major renovation. The price tag is more than $200,000, of which officials already have raised $85,000. They are working to raise additional funds, and hope the community will step up and help.

Best of the Best returns with new artists, artwork By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Eighteen Wabash County student artists will be exhibiting their artwork and honing their entrepreneurial skills at the ninth annual Best of the Best Art Gallery on Sunday, May 15. Established in 2007, the program was created to expand student art abilities and develop entrepreneurial skills needed to sell the artwork. However, to the participating artists, it has provided much more than that. Garrett Labuda, Heartland Career Center representative and first year participant, told The Paper of Wabash County that the program helped him realize his passion for art. “(Heartland) encouraged me to come here toward the end of my junior year because I’d work ahead in class, get stuff done and so I’d then start drawing in class,” Labuda told The Paper of Wabash County. “It’s a pretty new interest (in art) for me, so this (program) is encouraging, like, ‘Oh people actually like my work,’ and I like other people’s artwork and it helps a lot with creativity and confidence.” This year, Best of the Best artists visited the Indiana Wesleyan University Art Department and the Peru Community Schools Art Gallery. The students also participated in workshop at Borders and Beyond, took a gallery tour of Wabash and learned new techniques from local artists Sarah Luginbill and Darcy Dyson. “I think it really stretches our boundaries,” Southwood High School senior Bailey Hobbs said, “because at our home schools, we’re so used to just coloring on paper and (with this program) we actually get out into the real world and see all different kinds of art.” While Hobbs and Labuda are first-year program participants, this will be Wabash High School senior Darian Reynolds’ second art show with Best of the Best.

“One of my favorite workshops we just sat a blank canvas down on the floor and it was a multi-media project,” Reynolds said. “And instead of the normal (format) where we get instruction and it’s ‘Ok first you’re going to do this and then you’re going to do this,’ (the instructor) was like, ‘Paint it a color and do whatever you want to it.’ “I think it was so cool. I think that’s when it finally hit me that (art) doesn’t have to be planned out. It doesn’t have to be each line’s exactly right and it has to be so realistic. You can just have fun, so that was first time I just threw something together, and I hated it at the end and that happens, but (the instructor) said she hated hers too until she figured out she could do what she

liked and that’s just how you have to figure out your style.” Without this program, the three artists agreed they wouldn’t have the same opportunities to craft, learn about their community or network if the program didn’t exist. “I think with all the field trips and (workshops), there’s a lot of stuff around us that we didn’t know existed before now,” Reynolds said, “like an art supplies shop right down town and there are a bunch of local artists that we’ve gotten workshops from that actually have their own practices, like there’s an artist that has a toy store and she makes art in her toy store. “It’s just the coolest thing and we didn’t know that before we joined this group.” “And we can actual-

ly get feedback off of each other and constructive criticism,” Hobbs added. “It’s really nice to put all of our brain power together and create something really awesome.” Just as it encourages students to find their artistic passion, it also can help further their careers in art. Hobbs plans to pursue a degree in graphic design and said the local program has done more than just taught her different

Best of the Best returns with new artists, artwork techniques. “So I think this (program) is really helpful, not only in physical world, but it also looks really good on my resume, because I look really diverse,” she explained. Labuda said he’s considering joining the apparel industry

and make t-shirts using the techniques he learned in Best of the Best. “I just know that I want to do something that’s creative related, be it art or music,” he said. Without the program, “I wouldn’t have been able to network with other peo-

ple and kind of opened my mind to (think) ‘Oh I can go here and I could actually make a career out of this,” Labuda continued. “So I don’t think, if it wasn’t for this (program), I probably wouldn’t have thought, ‘Oh I’ll make a career out of art.’”

On the contrary, Reynolds will be pursuing a degree in business next fall, but will not forget what she learned through the program. “I don’t know what’s going to happen (with classes), but I know that art is the best part of my entire day,” she said. “So once I get there and there’s something missing, I’ll know what it is and

I’ll have to figure something out.” Three years ago, Reynolds said she never thought she’d be selling her artwork. “If you were to tell me that I was going to be selling my artwork, I would have been like, ‘No. I just do this for fun,’” she explained, “but I think (the program) has taught me that business isn’t all

about the numbers, per say. I’m able to sell something that I did and I am doing and that just makes think business can be fun. There is a way to incorporate business into this.” The public should attend the Best of the Best Gallery because “it’s a legitimate art show,” according to Reynolds. “It’s not just a bunch of kids throw-

ing stuff together,” she explained. “So I think it’s really cool when people come and support you and they look at your stuff and appreciate it as much as you do.” The gallery showing will take place in the Honeywell Room at the Honeywell Center from 4:30-6:30 p.m. Payments will be accepted in cash or check only.

Wabash man charged with child molestation By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com A Wabash man was booked into the Wabash County Jail on Monday, May 2, for child molestation charges following an investigation by the Wabash Police Department. Stoney Hobson, 51, was charged with felony attempted child molestation and felony attempted vicarious sexual gratification. On March 16, WPD received information

from the Division of Family Services of an alleged molestation incident involving a child younger than 10-years-old, according to the probable cause affidavit. On March 14, the child had informed their mother that Hobson had exposed himself and made other advances toward them, the affidavit continued. Following the initial report, on March 24, officers interviewed the child. Officers spoke

with Hobson on April 19 and he denied the accusations, saying that the child’s mother instigated the child’s story, according to WPD Det. Capt. James Kirk’s statement in the affidavit. He claimed the child and mother were lying, Kirk said in the affidavit, adding, “(Hobson) did agree to take a stipulated polygraph exam.” Hobson failed the exam, according to the affidavit. On May 5, Hobson entered a preliminary plea of not guilty. A trial date was set for Sept. 13 at 9 a.m. with a pretrial con-

Wabash Elks honor 2 local youth By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash Elks Lodge No.471 in recognition of Elks National Youth Week honored two local youth Wednesday evening, May 4. The pair, Wabash Middle School eighth grader Dani Lee and Dharma Klug, a senior in the Wabash Alternative School, received certificates and gifts from the Lodge. The youth and their families also were treated to the Lodge’s Wednesday Night Buffet. “National Youth Week is designed to guide, inspire and encourage our youth to serve their community and to help prepare them for the duties and opportunities of citizenship across the country,” Lodge Exalted Ruler Keith Walters said. “Our nation’s young people are becoming active citizens and learning their civic involvement. “I firmly believe and encourage the sense of community demonstrated by these ambitious and engaged young people.” Liz Hobbs, director of the Access Youth Center, talked about Dani and her commitment to the Access. “She is one of our Access youth who has been involved with the Access for several years now,” Hobbs said. “She is involved not only in our after school program, not only is she there with her peers, we have a lot of younger kids who, sometimes … can be a little trying. But Dani does an excellent job of being there for them, playing games with them, helping them to be engaged in the Access as well. “And you know if you’ve ever been around kids, if a middle schooler pays attention to an elementary school kid, that’s huge for them.” Dani also is involved in girls’ Wednesday night Bible study, and also has been active in the Access’ outreach program to local nursing homes. “And the thing I appreciate most about her is Dani will ask questions,” Hobbs continued. “She doesn’t mind

THE PAPER

May 11, 2016

Wabash Elks honor 2 local youth recognition, noting “I’ve never been honored for anything in my entire life, and I’m almost 18-years-old, so this means a lot to me.” She also talked briefly about her time at the Access Learning Academy and what it has meant to her. She said at the beginning of the school year she had a “happy-go-lucky attitude” and was told she only had 10 credits needed to graduate. A short time later, she was told she was misinformed and actually had 20 credits needed to graduate. “That made me mad,” she admitted. “They just told me I had 10 credit hours and now I have 20. It was like I’m never going to see the light at the end of the trouble. “I was just ready to give up. After that

things started getting a little worst for me. I was upset about the credits. I started skipping school, and if I did go, I didn’t do anything.” She spent 30 days in residential facilities twice during the year, she said, and admitted that she had hit rock bottom. “When I returned to school on Jan. 20, something just changed; something just clicked in my head,” she said. “I was actually working and wanting to do something with my life other than be a disappointment to everybody. I started to apply myself, and the days that I came in upset, I’d talk to Liz and Laura and take a deep breath and go to work. “I discovered I was growing into the amazing young woman that everyone thought I would be.” Her determination

helped her earn six credits in 24 days and, as of Wednesday night, was just two credits short of graduation. She planned to earn one credit late last week, and work on the other credit this week, enabling her to graduate in May.” Dharma later told The Paper of Wabash County that it was an unbelievable feeling when she learned she was going to be honored. “My mother is what’s driving me,” she said of what motivated her to buckle down and study. “I lost her three years ago, and I lost the grandpa who adopted me three years prior to that. “She took me with her,” she said of her mother. “I just didn’t care anymore. But then I realized she wouldn’t want me to

be like this. She would want me to be proud. “She clicked in me. She beat something into my head, like, ‘You’re my daughter; I raised you better than this.’” Dharma is employed at Miller’s Merry Manor and plans to pursue a degree as a Certified Nursing Assistant. She eventually hopes to become a Licensed Practical Nurse. To help her along the way, the Lodge pledged to pay the fee for her state testing. If she doesn’t need help with that, the Lodge pledged to help her purchase some supplies, such as scrubs.

MHS class of 2014 ranked among best in state

By The Paper staff

NORTH MANCHESTER — Manchester Jr.-Sr. High School has again been named one of Indiana’s best high schools by U.S. News and World Report, and for the first time was ranked as one of America’s most challenging high schools by The Washington P o s t . These private reviews and rankings came out last week, filling Principal Nancy Alspaugh, who is retiring after this year, with pride. Alsapugh said the silver medal ranking putting school at No. 41 as one of Indiana’s best high schools is based on the publication’s review of 28,561 U.S. public high schools; 127 Indiana high schools made the l i s t . The criteria is based on the amount of senior students and how many of them g r a d u a t e . She said this year’s award is based from statistics from the 2013-14 school year. “The graduation rate was 90.4 percent,” Alspaugh said. “With 115 seniors, that’s good.” Alspaugh said this year’s graduating class has a 96.9 percent graduation rate a n t i c i p a t e d . “Sometimes classes are strong academically, and some years the senior class can be strong academically,” she said. The Washington Post ranking as one of America’s most challenging high schools ranks MJSHS No. 61 compared to other Indiana high schools, and No. 2,100 in the national r a n k i n g . “This ranking has to do with the amount of AP classes are offered based on your amount of students,” Alspaugh explained. She said this award also uses 2013-14 academic d a t a . Seniors Squires are able to take seven different Advanced Placement courses in English, studio art, U.S history, environmental science, biology and calculus,

Alspaugh said. “That number of AP courses we offer for a school our size, and the fact that students can do dual courses at Manchester University and earn college credit,” she said is how the school wound up on the list. Alspaugh didn’t know about The Washington Post’s listing until

she found out her school had been n a m e d . “Now, everything has to do with college readiness.” She said the teachers and the curriculum at her school have been preparing their students for college for years. Each year she administered about 100 AP exams to sen-

iors, she said, and those exams are scored on a 1-5-point s y s t e m . “If you get a three, four or five, a college should give credit for the course.” She said pair that with the opportunity for students to take dual credit courses at neighboring M a n c h e s t e r University, and it’s

no wonder MJSHS is something to write home about. “For example, say I wanted to take German as a foreign language but we don’t offer German here at the high school. A student could go to M a n c h e s t e r University, just down the road, and take that course, and earn dual credit, meaning the student gets high school credit toward their diploma here and it also counts as college credit once they graduate and move on.” Alspaugh said she has had a student graduate with 44 college credits, entering college as a second-

semester sophomore instead of a freshman when arriving at college. Alspaugh said when she was a student at the high school, she took dual-credit AP courses at M.U.

“It’s always an honor ,” she said of being honored. “This makes me most proud – seeing our school grow academically.”

City votes ‘no’ to WCS referendum By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The votes were tallied on Tuesday, May 3, and Wabash voted ‘no’ to passing the Wabash City Schools operating tax referendum. A difference of 62 votes determined the referendum’s fate. Of 2,502 registered voters who answered the question, the majority vote of 1,282 decided against the tax increase, which would have supported the local school system’s cost of operations. Meanwhile, 1,220 constituents voted “yes” in support of the school. W C S Superintendent Jason Callahan said he’s disappointed by the results, “but also optimistic.” “Over the last few weeks, I’ve been really blessed by the number of people that have reached out and been really supportive,” he explained, “(I’ve) met new people in this community. I’ve been here 11 years and I met several people for the first time who really support our kids and our community.” Callahan accredited

lack of awareness as a possible issue, which resulted in the lack of support among majority voters. “I certainly take responsibility for that as superintendent,” he said. “We’re going to do this again and we’ll just have to try to get that word out more to more people and this doesn’t stop what we do for kids and our schools and our community. “We love this place. We love Wabash. We love people in it and we’ll keep fighting for the kids and our schools, our teachers and our community.” If it had passed, the referendum would have implemented a tax levy of 28 cents per $100 assessed valuation to assist the school system’s finances. On the average Wabash household priced at $77,000, the tax levy would have been an additional $5 a month in property tax, Callahan attested during his discussions over the past several months. “This was to restore what was taken from us by the state,” Callahan said. “We weren’t trying to gouge people or try to get new taxes. We were just try-

If it’s not about money, then are they willing to help when we take this to Indianapolis and are arguing for more fund-

ing, are they willing to stand behind us then?” So, what now? “We have a tentative game plan on how we’re going to cut,” Callahan responding to a question from The Paper of Wabash County. “I think the challenge is, and this was all along the challenge was we have the $320,000 you have to cut and then you’ve got to

try and find a way to compensate people and not keep freezing salaries. “So, you have those two challenges. We’ll tackle the first one most immediately and then we’ll hit the second one, but we’re still going to be in session tomorrow and there will be kids showing up and our people will love on them and take (continued on page 9)

City votes ‘no’ to WCS referendum care of them. That won’t stop.” The WCS Board also approved the reorganization of the WabashMiami Area Program (WMAP) at its Monday, May 2, meeting, which will save the school corporation approximately $200,000 annually. “This (referendum) is just one strategy,” Callahan said. “We never put all our eggs in one basket. We have multiple strategies that we’re working on and this is a big one. … There are schools that have to try it a couple of times before it passes and it was new to our community. “I believe we got that close in a historic turnout year for a primary. I think it speaks volumes of support and at the end of the day you can’t say you’re not disappointed because you are, … but I feel like we could get it done next time.” WCS will continue to seek passing the referendum, he continued. However, cuts will still have to be made, the superintendent explained. “We will have all of those individual conversations very soon,” he said. “We already had some reorganization through WMAP. This isn’t going to be drawn out. We’ll have to make those cuts and then move forward. “I think I’ve said it all along, I think you’re looking at administration. You’re going to try to do as much without hurting instructional capacity as much as possible. We’re one of 13 early college high schools and that’s not going to go away. It’s just going to make it a little bit more difficult.” For WCS to have credentialed teachers as an early college high school, “you have to be able to compensate them,” Callahan explained.

“We’re still going to go after that, but we’re going to lead with the cuts in areas where it doesn’t affect instruction first and where (ever is) left, there could be some programming cuts.” Consolidation is also on the table of options. “We’ve also said all along that consolidation is something that we need to consider as a community,” Callahan said. “We need to put pride aside. We need to put our kids first. “I want (to make) it very clear. This is not about me. This is not about administration. I will step down if that’s what it takes to do what’s right for kids. I’m not concerned about my own position at all. … Although I want to be here and I want this to be the place where I raise my kids, as the leader, this is my responsibility. “So if I have to sacrifice to consolidate and do what’s right for our kids, I’m more than willing to do that.”

Primary results The Wabash County primary held five contested races on May 3. In the only local contested race, Lorissa Sweet led the County Council At Large Republican ticket with 4,024 votes with incumbent councilman Randy Curless trailed behind with 3,741 votes and Philip Dale had 3,107. Incumbent councilmen Michael B. Ridenour and Bill Ruppel received 3,005 votes and 3,043 votes respectively. Sweet, Curless and Dale will now be on the November General Election Ballot. David Monroe was listed as the sole candidate on County Council at Large Democratic ticket, but withdrew from the race prior to the start of the elec-

tion. However, Monroe’s withdrawal was past the deadline for the printing of the ballot, hence, he was listed on the ballot. Also on the Republican ticket: Debora Hoefer led the race for Precinct Committeeman Noble 3 with 117 votes. Jim Nelson had 70 votes. Robert Greene led the race for Precinct Committeeman Noble 4 with 160 votes while Justin Wilcox had 60 votes. Todd Dazey led the race for Precinct Committeeman Noble 9 with 161 votes while Larry Thrush had 145 votes. Finally, Ann Gillespie led the race for Precinct

Committeeman Lagro 1 with 145 votes. Laura Cole had 101 votes. Uncontested races for the Republican ticket include: -Robert R. McCallen, III, for Circuit Court Judge 27th -Marcie J. Shepherd for County Auditor -Luann Layman for County Treasurer -Suzie Lewis for County Coroner -Cheri Slee for County Surveyor -Brian K. Haupert for County Commissioner District 1 -Barry J. Eppley for County Commissioner District 3 No candidates filed for the Democratic ticket races for Circuit Court Judge 27th,

County Auditor, County Treasurer, County Coroner, County Surveyor, County Commissioner District 1 or County Commissioner District

In the Presidential race, Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders were the top vote recip-

ients in Wabash County. Trump and Sanders also received the most votes across the State of Indiana.

YOUR WEEKLY ISAAC-ISM: “One athlete faces adversity and becomes bitter, frustrated, negative, and pessimistic. He finds all kinds of reasons why he can’t perform. Another player faces the same adversity and becomes stronger, mentally tougher, and more determined. His play becomes progressively more inspired and enthusiastic. He continues to move forward and in the process becomes an inspiration to his teammates and his coaches. Why does one player fold under the pressure and the other seem to thrive on it? The difference is that one athlete

mentally structured the difficult situation so that it became highly threatening, and the other successfully saw it as challenging. Whether situations are seen as threatening or challenging is under our control, a control acquired by structuring our thoughts and

ideas in positive, constructive directions.” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe and enjoyable week! PLEASE EMAIL YOUR NEWS AND INFORMATION TO: isaac.triplett@yahoo. com, or call me at 260274-2261

Our poppies are not “sold,” they are distributed as a symbol of the blood shed by our military to protect our freedoms, with a request of a donation to our poppy fund. Last year, the nation’s Women’s Auxiliaries raised more than $5.5 million during Poppy Days towards the support of our active-duty military, veterans, and their families. To learn more about the ALA’s mission or to volunteer, donate, or join, v i s i t www.ALAforVeterans. org, or stop in the post. ANNUAL FOOD

DRIVE: The annual Letter Carriers “Stamp Out Hunger” Food Drive will take place on Saturday, May 14. If you would like to participate, collect and bag non-perishable items and place them near your mailbox prior to the time when your mail normally arrives. Suggested items include meats, soup, fruit, juice, vegetables, and peanut butter. This event collects thousands of pounds of food which goes to the N. M. Food Pantry.

Access seeks community help ... continued from the front page “Without it, we have no place for our children to go to learn and grow. Our goal is to make ourselves viable and to continue to be a place here in downtown Wabash that’s easily accessible to our youth. “We have the perfect location, so we want to stay here. Our youth feel comfortable here.”

The main problem The main problem facing the Access is the exterior wall on the building’s west side. “It’s actually an interior wall,” Striker explained, noting that the building that was located immediately west of the Access protected it for years from the elements. That building, which once housed a bar, burned more than 30 years ago, leaving what were interior bricks exposed to the elements. “(The bricks) are deteriorating, and if you walk by it’s quite obvious,” Striker said. The wall is quickly becoming a safety issue, according to Access Director Liz Hobbs. “They came through and looked and (the damage) was a lot more serious than anyone thought,” she said. “A lot of the bricks were very, very soft to the touch. It needs to be done.” Work has already started on the west wall. “They’re replacing a large percentage of bricks,” Hobbs said. Striker added, “They’re replacing

those bricks that are bad and are deteriorating, and are totally chinking it.” Board member Margaret “Boo” Salb noted that there is a difference between interior and exterior bricks. “All of the interior bricks have been exposed and they will deteriorate a lot quicker than exterior bricks,” she said. Board member Angie Beauchamp said, “It was shocking. When we first got that estimate, I don’t think anyone thought it would be anything like this.” Bricks that aren’t being replaced will be treated to prevent any further deterioration. “The experts are determining what needs to be done,” Striker said. “They’re assessing each part of the wall, externally and internally as well.”

Other work The Access has qualified for the Stellar Grant façade program. “The windows are cracked,” Access Director Liz Hobbs noted. “The door needs replaced and the wood out in front is rotted. “The roof has some issues, but clearly, you don’t want to do all this work and not put a new roof on.” The façade work will cost an estimated $96,500. However, that must be paid for before receiving payment from the Stellar program.

Judi always had an artistic side and enjoyed taking art classes from Jo Wood at Wood’s Framing and Art and had several of her pieces displayed at Artistica Gallery.

Wabash firefighters respond to storage fire By The Paper staff Wabash firefighters were on the scene of a shed fire Wednesday night at 700 LaFontaine Ave. Wabash Fire Chief Barry Stroup said firefighters were called to the scene at 8:56 p.m. and the building was freely burning upon arrival. The building was a total loss, he said, but a total dollar amount was not yet determined. The property had a tall fence in front of it, and Stroup said it was a hindrance in fighting the fire. In addition, a power line fell onto the

Miller’s West celebrates National Nursing Home week By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com From water balloon fights to an onsite petting zoo, Miller’s Merry Manor West will be pulling out all the stops to celebrate National Nursing Home Week, May 814. The celebration kicked off on Saturday, May 7, with a Mother’s Day paint and punch party, according to Tammy Grizzle, director of life enhancement. “We’re hoping for

great weather, to get (residents) outside,” Grizzle said. “We have some outdoor activities so we’re praying for good weather. “We’re having them throw water balloons at us and getting us wet. To them that’s just (great). They don’t see normally see us out of uniform, with wet hair and so it’s kind a fun day for them to see us out of our normal (setting).” This year’s weeklong event will focus on the theme, “It’s a small world with a

big heart.” Ashley Rogers, social services director, told The Paper of Wabash County that it’s slightly based off of famous Disney ride by the same name “where it takes everybody in world to make the world go ‘round, essentially.” “Because it’s not just one gender or one race, it takes everybody (to provide the care nursing homes do),” she continued. “I would almost the adage of ‘It takes a village.’” Monday through Friday, the long-term care facility will host

different sub-themes per day including Barn Yard, Under the Sea and Small World/Princess Day. Residents also have the chance to win prizes each day. The events are meant to provide a week of fun for both the facility’s residents and staff, according to Rogers. “It’s a huge moral booster,” she said. “They say laughter is the best medicine. (The residents) get to see us make a fool of ourselves and it’s good for them.”

Urbana man charged for drug related crimes By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

LAGRO – An Urbana man was booked into Wabash County Jail on Tuesday, April 26, for drug related charges. Keith L. Williams, 25, was charged with felony possession of a hypodermic needle and felony possession of methamphetamine following a Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department (WCSD) investigation. On March 16 at approximately 10:50 p.m., WCSD officers were dispatched to the 7000 block of East Division Road from a report that a man was showing signs of being under the influence of drugs and making suicidal threats, according to

KEITH L. WILLIAMS the probable cause affidavit. The report stated that the man, later identified as Williams, might act on those threats after he obtains money to purchase drugs. Responding officers spoke with two property owners who said they believed Williams was abusing drugs and had made several comments

about suicide over the past few days, the court documents continued. “The property owners advised they were speaking with (Williams) and attempting to get him help but (he) was not accepting,” Deputy Corbin Dawes wrote in the affidavit. Dawes observed Williams arguing with a female before walking into a tool shed, the officer’s statement continued, and Dawes followed him into the shed. The officer noticed Williams’ behavior was abnormal as he “could not sit still and was very impatient and agitated with everyone,” the affidavit continued. “From my experience in the past communication with

(Williams) he is typically respectful and cooperative,” Dawes said. “At one point, (Williams) became emotional, stood up and paced back and forth. “(He) seemed very angry and was detained for emergency medical evaluation.” Williams was then transported to Wabash Parkview Hospital for further evaluation. Officers then spoke to the property owner who advised he located several hypodermic syringes, plastic baggies and drug paraphernalia in a toolbox in the shop where Williams was working, the affidavit continued.

The items were collected, including straws, spoons and baggies containing a white powdery substance, which fieldtested positive for methamphetamine. Also in plain view in Williams’ pick-up truck was a .410 shotgun, according to the court documents. “The firearm was recovered and placed into property for the safety of everyone on the property, due to (Williams) making suicidal comments and his emotional behavior,” Dawes said. He also noted that he was informed of a previous incident

involving a firearm being recklessly discharged by Williams and “felt it was necessary to remove the firearm from the property for the time being.” Following the evaluation at Parkview Wabash Hospital, Williams was admitted to the Warsaw Bowen Center. On April 4, Dawes spoke with Williams at the Sheriff ’s Department, informing him that he’d be submitting a probable cause affidavit for charges including possession of methamphetamine, possession of a syringe and posses-

sion of paraphernalia. Dawes submitted the affidavit on April 5.

Access seeks community help Indiana on Aug. 7, 1985, according to board member Brent Dawes. It was then known as Wabash Street Level Ministries.

Don Phillips and Mark Shinkle, who founded the Access, filed the articles of incorporation, Dawes continued. The doors opened on Jan. 1, 1986,

at 225 S. Wabash St. The Access was there for four or five years and then moved to 74 W. Market St. In the late ‘90s, the facility moved to 74 W.

Canal St., it’s current location. Jack and Naomi Porter helped purchase the building for the organization, which now has no mortgage payment to make because of that, board members noted. The Access is home to several programs, including: — The Access Learning Academy, which serves as the Wabash City Schools’ alternative school program. — The Afternoon Activities Program, which provides snacks and homework help in a group-mentoring setting. — After 5 Programs, which provide weekly Bible study at Modoc’s Market, as well as monthly visits to local nursing homes. — Family Outreach, which provides weekend activities as well as an inhouse visit for local families. “It’s a safe place,”

Beauchamp said. “It’s warm. It’s kind of like coming home used to be.”

Community support Access officials are asking the community for help. “We’re asking them to step up and take some ownership in our Access,” Striker said. “I think it’s the community’s “The kids take ownership in this place. Those that come here, it’s theirs.” Salb added that it’s not just youth from within the City of Wabash that use the facility. “It’s also kids from within the entire county that utilize this,” she said. The number of youth using the facility varies from day to day, but the daily average for the afterschool program is 26. “A lot of people question, is that the same 26 people every day?” Hobbs said.

... continued from page 17

“That would be fine if it was, but it’s not. We have a sign-in system and we have had 463 individual kids pass through our doors in the last 12 months.” Salb added, “We also have the next generation. We’re seeing kids of kids that came from the beginning. They know it’s a safe place. They know it was safe for them, and now their kids are coming down.”

Open house To better show the public the Access’ needs, the board of directors has scheduled an open house from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, May 22. Officials encourage the public to stop by to learn more about the Access and have any questions they may have answered. The facility receives support from the Community Foundation of Wabash County and the Wabash County United Fund, as well

as the Lutheran Foundation. Some area churches have the Access included in its monthly mission giving, and other organizations, including the Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity Chili Cook-off and the Wabash Elks Lodge have helped the organization. However, much of that money is designated for particular programs. And while the program is supported by many local organizations, Striker believes it also is “a well kept secret.” “Our goal is to let everyone have an opportunity to invest in it,” he said. “You have an opportunity to invest in time. Some people just don’t have the ability to their time, so they have the opportunity to invest financially. “We don’t like begging, but we’re just putting it out there for them that they can invest in our community.”

businessrevolution.co m. Voting was to end May 10. Because of The Paper of Wabash County’s deadline was passed after the voting deadline, results can be found on its webpage, w w w. t h e p a p e r ofwabash.com, or on its Facebook page. “We have been told we are trailing in the voting,” Downs told The Paper on Monday morning. “Everyone has been working very hard and is disappointed with what we are hearing so far. “However, we still have two days to go, so we will be continuing our efforts non-stop to try to bring the prize home to Wabash.” Win or lose, the City of Wabash has received national attention thanks to the Small Business Revolution contest. Downtown business and building owners were excited about the news. “It’s awesome. It’s spectacular,” said Lisa Gilman who owns the building at 45 and 47 W. Market St., and is currently refurbishing another building located across Market Street from the other two buildings. “This is the type of thing we need;

the inertia that moves this town forward. This is just piling on that inertia that’s going to get more people excited. It just lights a fire and more things will get done. When businesses flourish, we all flourish. I think this is fantastic.” Eclectic Shoppe owner Maria Smith also was among those at the announcement. “I was thing about that earlier today, and I thought, what a fantastic opportunity for us all,” she said. “If Wabash wins, I win and our artists win. It’s a win-win. Think about all that exposure from the media. Just getting the word out there is something that’s beyond me and what I can do. It’s fantastic.” The city receiving the most votes between May 3-10 will receive $500,000 worth of market services, business advice and other support and improvements. The winning community also will be featured in an online series debuting on SmallBusinessRevoluti on.org later this fall. The series will star Robert Herjavec, the leading investor for the television program “Shark Tank.”

Gregg pushes economy in Wabash visit By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

John Gregg, the Democratic governor nominee, wants local Democrats to reach out to their Republican friends and neighbors to explain to them why it’s time to get rid of Republican Gov. Mike Pence. Gregg was the keynote speaker Friday night, May 6, at the Wabash County Democratic Party’s Jef ferson-Jackson Day Dinner. “There are good

JOHN GREGG Republican men and women out there who do not like the direction of their party and Gov. Pence is out of step with their party,” he told party

faithful gathered at the Honeywell Center. “Gov. Pence is so focused on social issues, on women, on many many things. There’s not many Dick Lugar or Mitch Daniels type Republicans left. There are Republicans out there who voted for Evan Bayh and Frank O’Bannon. “They share our concern for jobs and the economy, public education, infrastructure. One thing I’m going to ask you guys to do is talk to them. Reach out and talk to

these people.” Gregg took several swipes at Pence and his concentration on social issues. Citing a passage from Romans that encourages the faithful to prayer for their leaders, he said he prays for the governor all the time. “I pray that he goes by a microphone, because every time he does he says something that gets printed,” Gregg said. On a more serious note, he said this election is about many key issues. “This election is not

about whom you love, where you live or anything like that,” he said. “It’s not about me wanting to extend my business, so to speak, into what women are doing with their doctors and what they and their husbands are deciding. “What this election is about is the economy. You’re going to hear about that glowing employment rate. The truth of the matter is we are now 39th in the country in per capita income. When I was a young man we were 17th because of good manufacturing jobs. “What we can do about that in a Gregg administration is to focus on economic development activity on those jobs that pay a living wage. Not drive jobs away as our governor does with his social policies and embarrass all of us, but bring people here. Focus on jobs in advanced manufacturing and agribusi-

there will be over 300,000 jobs in the next six years will be created, and we may not be able to fill them because we don’t have the skilled workers,” he said. “If Gov. Pence would work with Superintendent Ritz to help direct some of these students and they can go and get a four year, two year or certification. You know how many great jobs are out there with two or three or four college classes certified? “Why aren’t we focusing on these students? There’s good jobs out there. Why are we getting into these ideas that divide us. It’s just wrong. We need a leader that brings us together and a leader that has a vision. I have a vision for Indiana, and it’s taking the good ideas from the Democrats, Republicans and Independents and working to make Indiana’s economy stronger. “

ness. Focus on those jobs in IT and life sciences that are out there.” One thing that is key to a good economy is a good education system, Gregg continued. “And we can’t get a good education system by demonizing teachers,” he said. “We can’t get a good education system by blaming teachers. I can tell you when it comes time to getting something done, it’s done at the low levels, and the low levels in the education system is where all the activity goes, it’s in the classroom. “And those teachers need to be sitting at the table with the governor and my friend (Superintendent of Public Instruction) Glenda Ritz and we need to hear about education. We need to hear what they have to say.” A huge skills gap exists in Indiana, Gregg noted. “Some estimate

‘You’ve been pushed around and you chose to fly’ Four students receive Self-Reliance honors By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Four Wabash County students were honored Tuesday, May 3, as the 27th annual Wabash Kiwanis Club SelfReliance Award recipients. The program’s goal is to recognize youth that have demonstrated self-reliance, according to Charlie Chapman, Kiwanis member and event moderator. The award recipients are often selected to receive the honors for facing hardships and

challenges at several points in their lives and rising above them, he continued. “Many of the students may or may not have been recognized for their academic or athletic ability, but they certainly deserve to be honored for their accomplishments dealing with life’s challenges,” Chapman explained. “Self-reliant qualities of our finalists have been demonstrated through contributions to church, family, schools, community service or employment, and while we may all hear about the shortcomings of our young people, there are success stories that

“I want you to be grateful for that person or those people that really encouraged you,” she explained. “I would not be where I am today if people, when I was your age, did not invest in my life, never knowing what I would become, never knowing what I would choose to do in my life.” A d d i t i o n a l l y, Mirante challenged the students with three tasks. “Number one is don’t hold onto dynamite after it’s been lit,” she said. “Some people are like dynamite. … People that are like that in your life, walk away.” The students’ second task is to learn to laugh. “If you don’t learn to laugh at yourself, you’re going to have some problems, because things happen that are funny,” she explained. Finally, Mirante’s third challenge was “Don’t give a dollars worth of energy to a 10 cent issue.” “Don’t make somebody’s huge problem your problem,” she said. “When things happen in your life say, ‘Is this a dollar energy issue or is this a 10 cent

issue?’ … Disrespect? That’s a dollar issue. Not respecting authority? That’s a dollar issue.” Mirante concluded her talk by sharing what she loved most about the four recipients. “What I love most about you is that you’ve learned to fly,” she said. “The teacher said to the student, ‘Come to the edge’ and they replied, ‘We might fall.’ Again the teacher said, ‘Come to the edge.’ They replied, ‘It’s too high.’ ‘Come to the edge,’ the teacher demanded and they came and she pushed them, and they flew. “You’ve been pushed around and you chose to fly, and I hope with all of my heart that you keep on flying.” Following Mirante’s speech, moderator Chapman and club president Judy Ward presented each of the four finalists cash awards of $1,000, which were sponsored by Beacon Credit Union, Dawes & Paugh CPAs, First Merchants Bank, InGuard, Parkview Wabash Hospital, Wellbrooke of Wabash, Crossroads Bank, Ford Meter Box, Edward Jones-Steve Weir, Vince Harrell and

Robert L. Mattern, DDS. “The awards are presented with no strings attached,” Chapman said, “and may be used by the recipients for any purpose that he or she decides. “We all know that today’s youth face a unique set of problems and challenges,” he continued. “The news tells us about all of these problems, but I invite you to look at these young people. These are examples of good students making a difference in life for themselves or everybody around them. “Despite obstacles that have been placed in their paths, they have succeeded.” Rose is a member of the Wabash Dance team and vice president of Key Club. She has also been involved with cross-country and cheerleading. Earlier this year, she was selected to join the Indianapolis Colts Cheerleaders. She plans on attending Ball State University in the fall. Andritsch is a member of the soccer, basketball and softball teams at Manchester High School. She’s involved in the Spanish Club, MHS Group and

Wabash Steel Supply, 1705 S. Wabash St., cut the ribbon during a grand opening ceremony Thursday morning, May 5. Owner Ben Gebhart discussed Wabash’s need for a business such as Wabash Steel Supply prior to the ribbon cutting ceremony sponsored by the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce. “The idea came from Metal Source,” said Gebhart, who also owns that business. “There really wasn’t anywhere in town to buy steel or that advertised steel for the public, farmers or people like that.

Ben Gebhart cuts the ribbon during the grand opening celebration at Wabash Steel Supply. Photo by Joseph Slacian “So we figured why not try something like that.” The business provides such things as angle iron, rebar and sheet plate are available, as is used steel, burn barrels and fire rings. “We’ve had a decent

walk-in business,” Gebhart said. “We’ve touched base with several businesses in town.” Cody Larimore is running the business. Chamber Chair Kim Pinkerton said there is a need for such a business in the

City of Wabash. “When I was in agriculture we were always

looking

for

scrap metal or metal I didn’t have to run to Fort Wayne or Indy for,” she said. “This is great.”

Community gathers for World Day of Prayer By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Dozens of Wabash County pastors and citizens convened on the Wabash County Courthouse lawn Thursday, May 5, to pray for the community and the world on the National Day of Prayer. “God, you have a lot of work to do,” Sherlyn Rensberger, event moderator, began the program. “Sometimes, Satan tries to stop things in

ways, to make it be that we’re not going to be able to step in to where God wants us to be, but God has grace and forgiveness and helps us to be able to turn around and go where we need to go. “Thank God for that forgiveness.” Rensberger, wife of Pastor Robb Rensberger of Wabash First Church of God, then began to pray. “Lord, as people here on this earth, we need forgiveness so much,” she said with

her head bowed, “and so many times we mess up or we say wrong things or we don’t do what you’ve asked us to do or we fall short in so many ways, Father, but, yet, you are a loving God and you care for us.” The gathered citizens prayed for government, military, media, business, education, church and family. Mayor Scott Long attended the event to read a proclamation to honor the National Day.

Wagoner to attend Rotary camp Article provided NORTH MANCHESTER — The Rotary Club of North M a n c h e s t e r announced the selection of Alexis Wagoner, a junior at Manchester High School, as a delegate to the 30th annual Rotary Youth Leadership Award Camp (RYLA).

Mark Eastway, President of the North Manchester Rotary Club, said “that the North Manchester Rotary Club will be among the 54 Rotary Clubs of District 6540 that will be sponsoring high school students who will develop leadership potential together at Camp Tecumseh the weekend of April 22-25 and we are

pleased that Alexis will be representing our club.” The camp will feature outstanding speakers and workshops focusing on decision-making, critical thinking, communicating effectively, ethics, career development, public service, contemporary problems, and other issues challenging leaders of today and tomorrow.

“Citizens of Wabash and the surrounding area, we meet today because of those who have come before us acknowledging the necessity the power of prayer and the help securing the prosperity of our people,” Long said. “From the inspection of our nation, its leaders have called upon

its people to pray and on April 17, 1952, the U.S. Congress unanimously passed a bill proclaiming an annual Day Of Prayer. “Today we acknowledge the increasing need for that guidance as we face challenges and threats at home and around the world. We face wars of power, hatred, greed,

terrorism, drugs and poverty while we also enjoy enormous blessings of charity, love, kindness and service. “This is not a day of complacency,” the mayor continued. “It is a day for America to wake up. It is a day to pray.” Long then called upon Wabash citizens to pray for those lead-

ing the nation, those serving in the armed forces, for educators, local leaders, law enforcement, firefighters, first responders, youth and suffering of the world. “Let us pray that God will continue to bless our country and keep us free,” he concluded.

4-H Grows Integrity: When asked how 4-H has taught her integrity, Sarah stated “I primarily think of the Indiana State Fair Livestock Shows. The past few years there have been some who have tried to cheat the system by using drugs in their animals. I am not one of those people because I am willing to do what’s right, even though it may not be popular. One thing I enjoy about showing is that it is a family event for us and we all want to make sure we are raising market healthy pigs.” Sarah believes that as someone who wants to work in the Ag Industry in the future that it is important for her to be honest now. Through 4-H, Sarah has made friends from across the state, acquaintances in the Ag Industry, and toured the Department of Ag at Purdue; all experiences she believes will help her be successful in the future.

4-H Grows Integrity: Troy believes that his integrity has grown through local and State Fair livestock shows. As he discussed how Wabash County 4-H members do a great job of making healthy animal care choices at the County and State Fairs, he stated, “I make the decision to do what is right because it is the best way to be fair to everyone. It is more important to give every kid a fair shot and to have fun than it is to win.” For Troy, 4-H is hard work, persistence, and dedication saying that, “In sports it takes duration and time to win, 4-H is no different.” He has put in a lot of time to raising and working with his pigs. By enduring and maintaining integrity through 10 years in the 4-H swine project, Troy has gained a passion for raising show pigs that he plans to pursue in the future.

4-H Club: Laketon Cloverleaves 4-H Projects: Swine & Poultry 4-H Grows Integrity: Tanner echoed many of Troy’s statements regarding the importance of maintaining his integrity while showing at both county and State Fairs stating that “Lying or drug use in animal shows is looked down on everywhere just as human drug use is looked down on in competition. Even as a 4-H member, I can hurt the future of the ag industry. Through 4-H shows at the local, state, and national levels, I have built relationships and have gained a better grasp of the ag business.” Tanner believes the relationships made and knowledge gained of the ag industry through his participation in 4-H has helped him have a better understanding and passion for raising show pigs which he plans to continue even after he completes his last 4-H shows this summer.
