Salb, Long to meet in mayoral race Figert, Adams get GOP nods in council races By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Longtime Wabash City Council members Margaret “Boo” Salb and Scott Long will meet in November in the Wabash mayoral race. Salb, a Democrat, defeated Wabash Fire Chief Bob Mullett in the race for that party’s nomination for mayor. Salb received 434 votes, or 54.18 percent of the ballots cast, to Mullett’s 367 votes. Long, a Republican, was unopposed for that party’s nomination. He received 543 votes. There were just two other contested races in the city, both on the Republican ticket. Mitch Figert, director of the Wabash County Historical Museum, defeated incumbent Doug Konkle for the GOP nomination for the council’s First District seat. Figert received 102 votes to Konkle’s 74. Meanwhile, Doug Adams, director of the Wabash County Special Olympics, defeated Matt Stone, Wabash City School’s business manager, for the GOP nomination for the Fifth District council seat. Adams received 89 votes to Stone’s 61. “I hasn’t quite sunk in yet,” Salb told The Paper of Wabash moments after receiving congratulations from Mullett

“Now we’re going to gear up and look forward to the fall campaign. Campaigning for mayor was different than her past campaigns for City

Council. “In the past, running for council, running for my own district was different,” she said. “Trying to get out there and hit every home for the mayoral race was a real challenge for us. I apologize to the homes that I didn’t make it to. “We have a great team with a lot of gogetters. I’m just happy with the way it turned out.” Mullett remained positive, even in defeat. “We both ran very clean campaigns,” Mullett said. “I wouldn’t do anything different. Congratulations to her and wish her the best.” Mullett said the week leading to the Primary Election was busy. “I said all along we were going to put our best foot forward,” he said. “We’re doing the best we can. We’re going to let the people decide who they want to lead the city. “We gave it our best shot and came up a little short.” While he was unopposed, Long said he learned many things in this campaign (continued on page 2)

Harvey lawsuit now on hold By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

A $1 million class action lawsuit against Harvey Industries has been put on hold. U.S. Magistrate Judge Christopher A. Nuechterlein issued the hold in late April in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, South Bend Division. His ruling came after U.S. District Court for the Eastern Division of Michigan appointed Steve R. Wybo of Conway MacKenzie Inc. as the receiver. The lawsuit against the firm, which is based in Livonia, Mich., and has its lone plant in Wabash, was “vacated and continued until such time” the receivership is lifted. Harvey representatives must file a status report within 10 days of the receivership being lifted, or by Aug. 24, 2015, whichever is earlier. On Jan. 2, Harvey Industries announced the layoff of two-thirds of its employees due to “unforeseeable business circumstances,” namely the loss of two large contracts with General Motors and Modine, two of the company’s largest clients. The class action lawsuit cites Harvey Industries’ failure to comply with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, which requires companies to give workers 60 days notice of an impending mass layoff or plant closing. The plaintiffs, represented by Anthony Cicatko, Jr., seek damages in the amount of 60 days’ pay and Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) benefits, totaling more than $1 million.

Wabash County fire departments honor fallen brother on 20th anniversary of his death By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com May 5 marked the 20th anniversary of Noble Township Volunteer Fire Department’s loss of Fire Captain Greg Cussen. Cussen lost his life in the line of duty in 1995 when the department

received a call of an explosion at Metro North Elementary School and the school caught fire. Cussen was rushing to the scene when he collided with another emergency vehicle from his fire department. “There’s a couple of things we want to do here tonight and the first is honor and celebrate Captain Greg

Cussen and the sacrifice that he gave, his life and service, and we’re also going to grieve his loss,” Pastor Alex Falder said before his opening prayer. “We hold those two things together, the celebration and the honor and the grief and the loss (continued on page 4)

that will help him in the fall race. “I’m trying to digest the vote totals at this point,” he said. Long and Salb sit next to each other while at City Council meetings. “We get along really well,” Salb said. “And, that’s what I said with this race, all of us get along really well. I’m

just really glad it was a good, clean race, and that’s the way I think the people want it. I don’t think they need anything other than that.” Long also was respectful of his time serving with Salb on council. “We have sat next to each other on council for quite a long time,”

he said. “We’ve discussed every issue on City Council that came before us. “We’re friends. We’ve been friends. She’s been on council for 12 years, and I’ve known her before that.” He believes the outcome of the mayoral race will come down to experience.

“It’s going to come down to qualifications and experience, I think,” Long said. “It’s going to be a long, hot summer, I guarantee it. We’re going to hit the ground running. My team is ready to get the job done.” Tuesday’s Primary Election was the second time that Figert and Konkle have met for the 1st District Council seat. Dr. John Gilpin, who won the seat in the 2011 General Election, moved from the district and Figert and Konkle were among those to seek the seat. Konkle was selected by Republican precinct committeemen to fill out the remainder of Gilpin’s term. Figert believes the key to his win was meeting the people. “I think it was just getting out and talking to the people and having a vision,” he said. “And not just about who we were, but talking about what we see for District 1 in the city. “We’re just excited that people listened and came out and voted today.” This was Figert’s first actual political campaign. “It took a lot more

I met a lot of great people and got a lot of great ideas for moving forward with the city.” Adams isn’t sure what the key to his victory was. “I’m still in shock

and surprised,” he said. “I don’t know that there was a key. I just like the idea that there were two kinds of different people to vote for. I always think that’s great for being able to vote for at least two people. “Now we’re gearing up for the fall to see what happens there.” As of now, neither Adams nor Figert have

City makes Best Communities designations By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Two agencies received designations by the Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety on Wednesday, May 6, as part of the

America’s Best Communities grant program. The City of Wabash was named a quarterfinalist in the privately funded contest, and is in the running to receive $3 million if grand funds for eco-

nomic revitalization. The top three finalists – second and third place will receive $2 million and $1 million, respectively – won’t be named until April 2017. By being named a quarterfinalist, the

city will receive a $65,000 grant. Of that, $50,000 will come from the program sponsors – Frontier Communications, DISH Network, CoBank, and The Weather Channel – and the remaining $15,000 will come from the City of Wabash. “Under the terms of the competition to move on to the next round, we have to designate a financial agent to basically run all the money through,” City Attorney Doug Lehman said. “It has to be a 501c3 organization.” The Economic Development Group

of Wabash County has volunteered to serve in that capacity, he noted. “We need somebody then to refine and further develop our plan and programs and application for the next round,” Lehman continued. “The initial application was done by American Structure Point, and they have indicated they would be very happy to continue working on the project for us.” A m e r i c a n Structure Point’s work is not to exceed $65,000. The resolution, which was unanimously approved,

Harvey lawsuit now on hold... continued from the front page Court documents also indicate that 50 employees were laid off on Dec. 19. In the Dec. 19 letter, employees were told that the layoffs would be permanent. These employees were later included in a notice sent to the Department of W o r k f o r c e Development as part of the 143 employees laid off on Dec. 31, which stated that call backs were expected. Court documents also brought into question the company’s claim that the loss of contracts with GM and Modine were unforeseeable. The plaintiff alleges that Harvey Industries learned in late 2013 or early 2014 that

Modine, which assembles parts manufactured by Harvey Industries before sending them to Ford Motor Company, was going to lose a contract with Ford for one of the jobs involving Harvey-supplied parts. A new company, Borg Warner, successfully bid for this contract and was pursued by Harvey in hopes that they could continue to manufacture these parts for Borg Warner. The plaintiff alleges that Harvey found out it would not be awarded any contracts with Borg Warner as early as October 2014. Furthermore, court documents indicate that GM voiced concerns over quality

issues throughout 2014, cancelling a return audit set for October 2014. Harvey Industries stopped shipping orders to a GM facility located in Australia in November 2014 and stopped shipping orders to facilities in the US shortly after. According to a legal advertisement announcing the March 26 receivership, Wybo and the firm “seeks to maximize the value of the Harvey’s assets through an expedited sale process. Because of the accelerated nature of this process, any potential interest in the transaction must be indicated as soon as practicable.”

The ruling stems from a lawsuit filed by Callidus Capital Corporation against Harvey Industries LLC for a defaulted loan agreement. The company, according to court paperwork, owes Callidus $38,897,960.38 as of Feb. 13, 2015. The paperwork indicates the receiver is being named “for the purpose of taking possession of, managing as necessary, and marketing, selling or otherwise disposing of receivership assets, or any portion there off … in a reasonable fashion so as to reasonably maximize the sale value of the receivership assets for the benefit of (Callidus) and all

other creditors of the company.” The receiver shall “oversee and manage the operations of the Wabash plant and the liquidation of the receivership assets in a manner that continues production at the Wabash plant to the extent of, and subject to, available financial, physical and human resources,” the court ruling continued.

also authorized the mayor to sign any and all documents necessary to carry out the terms of the matter. Mayor Robert Va n l a n d i n g h a m praised the work that American Structure Point has helped the city with in the past. “They did a tremendous job on the Stellar (Grant),” he said. “They put the

package together.” Lehman also pointed out the firm did work the initial applications on Stellar and on America’s Best Communities for no pay. “They did it on the hopes that we would qualify and that there would money provided then at that point for them to take us to the nexlevel,” he said.

because any time we lose somebody, it leaves a hole.” Cussen left behind a wife and three sons Seth, T.J., and Jason. Seth and T.J. both followed in his father’s footsteps and joined the Noble Township Fire Department. Deputy Chief Seth Cussen thanked the crowd for honoring his father’s memory and said, “We’d also like to remember all the firefighters who died in the line of duty, not only in our county, but all over the United States.” Wabash County lost two other fire-

fighters in the line of duty. Wabash City fireman John F. Bridegroom, 32, died on Jan. 16, 1926, after the fire truck he was riding collided with a laundry truck at a street intersection. Lagro volunteer firefighter John William “Bill” Swan, 18, was killed on Aug. 6, 1996, after responding to a motor vehicle accident and was shot by one of the drivers. “Although the stories are all different, the memories are still the same,” Seth Cussen said. “We lift up these families and the families all

around suffering from loss. We’re truly grateful for the sacrifices they made for the community.” In addition to Cussen’s friends, family, and other members of the community, fire departments from Urbana, Roann, Pleasant Township, Chester Township, Lagro Township, Wabash City, and North Manchester were all in attendance at the evening memorial to honor the captain’s service and sacrifice. Noble Township Fire Chief and the late captain’s brother, Rob Cussen, said that it meant a lot that the departments had come out to honor his brother’s memory. “My brother grew up in Wabash County,” Rob Cussen said in an interview with The Paper of Wabash County after the ceremony. “He got on (the department) a few years after I did and it was a God send for him in many ways because it filled a hole in his life that needed filled at the time and the firemen that were there just became a part of his family.” Seth Cussen recalled how

Cussen’s death changed his family and department as a group. “Every year, we come out here as a department, do a small ceremony, and then we head back to the station,” he said. “Every year the guys that were on when he was on dwindles down. However, the number of guys out here remains the same. “That’s what brotherhood is. It’s guys showing support for one another in a time of need. The fire service has known this to be true from across the board.” Firefighters across the globe display “the thin red line of courage” to represent how firefighters put their lives on the line to protect by summoning “every ounce of courage” they have to face their fears, Seth Cussen said. Rob Cussen concluded the ceremony leaving the audience with one thought. “When you see a police officer, a firefighter, an EMA guy, say a little prayer for us because we never know. We’re out there doing our best. Say a prayer for our safety.”

Deputy Chief Seth Cussen, son of the late Capt. Greg Cussen, followed in his father’s footsteps and joined on the Noble Township Volunteer Department. At the memorial, Seth Cussen also recognized the county’s other fallen firefighters including Lagro volunteer fireman John William “Bill” Swan II and Wabash City firefighter John Bridegroom.

Bids awarded for Sherman St. culvert work By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Troy Eads Excavating received the contract to replace a culvert on Sherman Street, just east of Miami Street, in Wabash. The firm bid $22,525 to receive the contract during the May 6 Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety meeting. The city received just one other bid, that of $42,500 from Brainard Excavating. Work is for the installation of a corrugated polymer coated culvert, to be supplied by the city, along Priser Ditch. Board members questioned the large gap between the two bids. “What’s the difference between one quote and the other?” Mayor Robert Va n l a n d i n g h a m asked. “They both had the same quotes, the same specs?” S t r e e t Superintendent Scott Richardson said the firms received the same specifications.

ference. “Our sanitary sewer goes right through the middle of the culvert,” he said. “It’s a touchy issue because we’re not allowed to have any of the sanitary water get into the stream.” He added that he spoke with a Brainard representative earlier in the day, and was informed the firm was “planning for the worst case scenario.” “There are so many utilities involved,” Price continued. “You’ve got the gas line, the water lines in the way, there’s overhead power lines, replacing the rip-rap. It’s a situation that could take just a few days or it can take three weeks.” Va n l a n d i n g h a m said he could understand the higher bid, noting that should something happen the cost of the project will rise. However board member Greg Metz said that problems along the way shouldn’t influence the bid. “Have they seen the spec sheet that we were given,” he asked. “So then that’s irrelevant.

Special Olympians to compete in Wabash By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

“Free Estimates”

Just Call

Some 250 athletes from a six-county area will converge on Wabash on Saturday, May 16, for the annual Area V Special Olympics track and field events.

The participants from six nearby counties will compete at Wabash High School’s Alumni Field. “Wabash has done it through the Kiwanis Club many, many, many years,” local coordinator Doug Adams told The Paper of Wabash County. “It’s an annual event and we look forward to hosting it.” Athletes from Wabash, Miami, Pulaski, Kosciusko, Cass and Howard counties will participate in the event, which will begin at 9

a.m. with an opening ceremony. Founded in 1968 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, Special Olympics is the world’s largest sports organization for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. It provides yearround training in a variety of sports for more than 4.4 million athletes worldwide. Adams has been involved with Special Olympics for about a dozen years. “It was back when I was over the state of Indiana for the

Knights of Columbus,” he said. “We had the international games back at Notre Dame back in 1987. The Knights of Columbus played a major role in that; we provided housing and volunteers for the event. “That kind of planted the seed.” Several Knights members would help at the local spring games and, about a dozen years ago, decided to get more involved. Wabash County Special Olympics was

formed from that, opening participation to all of Wabash County. “Prior to that, participation was limited to like ARC and Pathfinders,” he explained. “They would train the athletes and come out for the events. Other qualified individuals in the county didn’t participate. “So when we formed Wabash County Special Olympics, it was open to anybody that was qualified.” Adams said his interaction with the athletes is one reason he remains involved with the organization. “I’m kind of an allin kind of guy,” he continued. “Once I get involved with something I kind of go allin. This is just a fantastic, fun thing to do.” While he admits there is quite a bit involved with being the coordinator, including scheduling various practices and events. “But still, the rewards are just fantastic,” he added. The parade of athletes, broken down by county, will begin at 9 a.m. A torch relay, (continued on page 7)

New shoppe stocked by Wabash County’s eclectic community By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The Eclectic Shoppe is open and ready for business after celebrating its ribbon cutting on May 1. Now a family-operated business, Alex Madrigal originally began the business in January 2013 by selling jewelry and accessories via Facebook. After a discussion with her family, Madrigal and her parents, Maria and Mike Smyth, decided to move the business into a storefront in August 2014 and expand the shop’s inventory to include art, furniture, rugs, and more. Asked how does the store live up to its name, Mrs. Smyth said, “Well, look around.” The shop sells merchandise from a broad and diverse range of sources such as local, national, and international artists and providers.

“We, as in society in general just based on the people that I know, get so caught up on matchy and everything has to go, that it has to be a perfect square, but that really doesn’t have to be,” she continued. “You can put a vintage piece with a primitive piece with an upcycled piece with a more contemporary work, and you can make it work as long as you’re expressing yourself.” From floor to ceiling, the shop features pieces by local artisans including Janet Shoue, Susan Bonfitto, Elizabeth Anderson, and Kurt Mullett. Many of the products are recycled, or “upcycled,” materials ranging from old barrels turned into signs to silverware repurposed as refrigerator magnets. “We’re pretty selective on the pieces we get,” Mrs. Smyth said. “Everything in this shop, if it’s not from an artist, it comes from someplace we

artists in and we’re welcoming those artists.”

The Eclectic Shoppe is located at 42 W. Canal St. in Wabash.

Alex Madrigal, who started the now family operated business, holds the scissors while her family including (right) father Mike Smyth, mother Maria Smyth, and sisters Mari and Monica Madrigal celebrate the occasion with her. Photo by Joseph Slacian may have picked it up or we ordered, (but) we don’t have very many mass produced pieces. “So it’s new and used, but they’re very carefully selected pieces that have good bones, good quality.” When the shop chooses to sell an artist’s work, the only requirement is that it be affordable, Mrs. Smyth said. “We wanted to be vintage and modern with price points that are affordable,” she

continued. “Of course an artist’s work will never be compensated correctly because they put so much into it… but being affordable is important.” The shop has been challenged with answering the question, “How will it continue to be stocked?” Mrs. Smyth said. “We’re constantly looking,” she said. “Some of the artists now have recommended us to (other artists), like Donna Clevenger.

Control and Prevention (CDC) met with Gov. Mike Pence and State health officials on April 27-28 to discuss the progress, response, and continued control of the outbreak. On April 20, the Indiana General Assembly passed Senate Enrolled Act 461, which approves the use of syringe or needle exchange programs in case of public health emergencies to help control possible outbreaks. While the state government has worked to control the outbreak from spreading further, however, Scott County sent out a message through the Indiana Vital Records

Association seeking help and one local woman answered the call. Lynn Ellis, Wabash County Health Department deputy administrative coordinator, joined other health administration volunteers from across the state in Scott County at the needle exchange program during the week of April 13. While Ellis did not assist the actual exchanging of used syringes for clean ones, her roll was to administratively help individuals by issuing birth certificates that were lost or misplaced. “We were there to issue birth certificates

because there was another organization there that could sign them up for Medicaid or insurance,” Ellis said in an interview with The Paper of Wabash County. “Without identification, they weren’t able to do that.” In addition to insurance or medical assistance, the birth certificates also allowed individuals to get an identification card with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) and sign up for job seeking assistance with WorkOne. Both organizations were on site at the needle exchange, Ellis said. While Ellis was volunteering in the southern county, there were 106 positive cases of HIV. However, after Dr. Robert Beckett met with state health officials on Monday April 20, the positive cases increased to 135, Ellis said. “In talking to those 135 people, they were able to give a list of 382 people that they have been in contact with,” she continued. “Then out of that 382, they were only able to contact 251 of those people. “So what they’re trying to do is they’re

trying to follow the people, and, evidentially, the 251 people that they contacted, they have been in touch with at least nine other people.” This isn’t the first time Ellis has volunteered in a crisis situation. She also assisted with administrative work when tornados destroyed Henryville, Ind., in 2012, worked in Washington D.C. with Disaster Assistance for seven years, and was assigned twoweek work detail to the office of President Ronald Regan. “Unless you actually see (the situation) for yourself,” Ellis said, “I mean, you can look at it on TV and you feel for those people, but until you actually are there and you pass by a house that has no end on it … You just don’t realize what people are going through until you’ve actually seen it yourself. Ellis recalled meeting an individual who had sat down after taking the free, 20-minute HIV test and came back negative. The person was so grateful, Ellis said. “That just made it worthwhile because you saw that this person’s life was

changed,” Ellis said, “and if you don’t volunteer and you don’t help, then you don’t get to see that first hand. “I would absolutely do it again.” After volunteering in other communities, Ellis reflected on the Wabash County’s community and its drug addicted citizens and said she would recommend having a place where these individuals would trust and know they could go in case of a crisis, such as homelessness. “It’s a horrible thing that they’re on and it’s not as simple as, ‘Well ok. I’m just not going to do it tomorrow.’ And that’s that,” Ellis said. “Because it’s an addiction, it’s something they cannot control and if we could just find a place here in the Wabash community that says, ‘Here we are and we care and you can trust us,’ I think that would make at least all the difference in the world to at least one person. “And if it only saves one person, it saves one person.”

9 Canine flu cases confirmed in Indiana; no reports in Wabash County THE PAPER

New strain of influenza sickens over 1,100 dogs in Midwest and kills at least five By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com At least a dozen cases of canine influenza have been reported in the northwest part of Indiana, but none were reported in Wabash County, according to the Indiana State Board of Animal Health. Since the beginning of April, an outbreak of canine flu that started in Chicago has sickened more than 1,1100 dogs in the Midwest, killed at least five, and recently spread to Indiana. As of April 21, nine dogs caught the virus in Lafayette and the Muncie Animal Shelter quarantined 70 dogs, putting adoptions on hold after several dogs returned with the virus after being neutered at Purdue University. The canine flu virus H3N8, which

was originally discovered in 2004, was the only strain of dog flu found in the United States, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). However, the current outbreak has been traced back to H3N2, or an Asian strain of the dog virus. This is the first report of the H3N2 strain found outside of Asia. However, this is not the first time there’s been a canine flu outbreak, according to Steve Thompson, director and clinical association professor of Purdue University Small Animal Community Practice. “It’s fairly common,” Thompson told The Paper of Wabash County in a telephone interview. “It’s just new to us and it’s the first time that it’s really gotten into northern Indiana or Lafayette.” Although there is a canine flu vaccine for the H3N8 strain, it is still unclear if the vaccine would protect against the new

strain, Thompson said. “At this point, we’re still unclear and it’s a type of vaccine that takes several weeks to work,” he added. “Chicago had a pretty big challenge because people were on spring break so they were boarding their dogs or going to dog parks. Then there was Easter and people were traveling. That’s how we think it came into northern Indiana.” Since the canine flu is not seasonal and can be caught year around, the AVMA advised the best way to prevent the spread of the flu is to limit exposure and have good hygiene with thorough hand washing, sterilized shared items such as toys and leashes, and keep kennels clean. “Dogs are most contagious during the two- to four-day incubation period for the virus, when they are infected and shedding the virus in their nasal secretions but are not showing signs of illness,” the

association wrote in a press release. “Almost all dogs exposed to (canine influenza virus) will become infected, and the majority (80 percent) of infected dogs develop flu-like illness. “The spread of (the virus) can be reduced by isolating ill dogs as well as those who are know to have been exposed to an infected dog and those showing signs of respiratory illness.” Canine flu symptoms include a persistent cough and may develop into a thick nasal discharge. Other signs can include lethargy, eye discharge, reduced appetite, and low-grade fever. “Normal dog temperature is higher than (a human’s),” Thompson said. “A dog’s typical body temperature is 102 degrees. When they get to 103 degrees, then we’re worried.” Thompson said, if a dog does have a fever, an owner must not give it Advil or

2 hurt in one-car accident By The Paper staff Two people were injured the morning of May 7 in a one-car accident on Blue Star Highway near Lagro. According to a press release from the Wabash County S h e r i f f ’ s Department, department personnel responded to the accident on S.R. 524, a half mile east of U.S. 24 at about 8:11 a.m. A westbound vehicle driven by a Brittany N. Miller, 18, Lagro, ran off the north edge of the roadway. The driver

overcorrected and lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle slide across the roadway, struck a utility pole, and rolled on its top into a field. Miller was transported to Parkview Wabash Hospital and later flown to Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne with possible chest injuries. A passenger in the vehicle, Megan Miller, 16, Lagro, was also transported to

Parkview Wabash with minor facial injuries. The use of safety restraints and airbag deployment in the vehicle did lesson the injuries to both individuals, Sheriff Bob Land said. Assisting at the scene were the Lagro Township Fire Department and the Wabash City Fire Department.

or if you’re able to take a temperature that’s helpful too, but call your vet,” he said. “Even being over vigilant, if you will, it’ll be helpful. A

phone call is probably the best first step if you’re worried your dog has the flu and talk it through with the clinical staff or veterinarian.”

Local residents gather on Wabash County Courthouse lawn for National Day of Prayer By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com On Thursday, May 7, more than 35 members of the Wabash County community gathered on the Wabash County Courthouse lawn to participate in the National Day of Prayer and fifth annual Hesychia House prayer walk. The community gathered on the courthouse lawn as part of a national movement to exercise religious freedom rights, according to Pastor Tom Curry. “I think on courthouse lawns in Huntington County, Grant County, and all the surrounding counties in different states and even in Washington, D.C., there is this national movement,” Curry said, “so we’ve chosen to be a part of a national movement of Christians exercising their freedom in this way and seeking God’s power and light and love to more and more and more to

Pastor Alex Falder (far right) prays for churches across the United States with three other members of the community at the National Day of Prayer on May 7. More than 35 members of the community gathered on the Wabash County Courthouse lawn to pray for topics including family, government, and media. Photo by Emma Rausch come into our homes, every neighborhood. “We’re not advocating come into our lives, and come into our court- that our government be a rooms, not in a formal leg- Christian government islative way, but in a pres- because as Christians we ence of light and love that just don’t believe that changes people and we that’s the way to do it.” The participants sepawant that more, not only for the world, but for rated into group to pray for the government, military, media, business, education, church, and family. “It is hard to know (what to pray for) or what difference it’s going to make,” Curry said. “The question that I, myself, continually question is ‘Is all of this true?’ And I go, ‘Yes it is true! I really do believe it. I really am a believer.’ “I really believe it matters when hearts are broken, that’s why I mentioned that in my prayer. I think it’s possible to misuse prayer and to be selfrighteous and do it for a big show and then I think we’re wrong. That’s not the spirit of Christ. So I think preceding prayer, as in the story of Ida Scudder, prayer that really matters is prayer that comes from a heart that’s broken and from someone who wants to give, not to get and many times comes with tears also.” During his sermon, Curry shared the story of Scudder, a third-generation American medical missionary in India who dedicated her life to helping Indian women during the early 1900s. Scudder did not realize her calling, however, until after realizing the plight of the women in India and praying with a “broken heart,” Curry said. “I see prayer as not just words, words, words,” Curry said. “Us pastors are good at words, but it’s got to be more than words. It’s got to be with feeling.”

Semi-tractor accident leaves 1 injured

A collision between a semi-tractor and a 2013 GMC on May 1 injured one driver. The semi then caught fire and caused a seven-hour shut down on a section of State Road 15. Photo by Emma Rausch

Section of State Road 15 shut down for 7 hours By The Paper staff On May 1, at approximately 3:13 p.m., the Wabash County Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department responded to a personal injury accident on State Road 15 just north of 800 South. Upon arrival, units found a semi-tractor on fire and fully engulfed. The investigation shows that a vehicle, a 2013 GMC, driven by Barbara A. Robinson, 74, Noblesville, was northbound on S.R. 15, according to a news release issued Monday morning by the Wabash County Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department. The vehicle, for u n k n o w n reasons, crossed the centerline into the path of a southbound 2007 International semi-tractor trailer driven by Anton A. Aschemeier, 64, Defiance, Ohio. Upon impact, the semi-tractor caught fire and then traveled a short distance down the roadway, and

came to a stop on S.R. 15. Aschemeier was able to exit the vehicle before it was fully engulfed. Aschemeier sustained no injuries. It appears that the fire was started due to a ruptured fuel tank which was caused during the initial impact. Robinson was initially trapped in

her vehicle but was extricated by rescue units and flown by Lutheran Air to Ft. Wayne Lutheran Hospital with severe leg injuries. Traffic on S.R. 15 was rerouted around the scene until around 11:30 p.m. Rescue units from Liberty Township

Fire Department and Wabash Fire/Rescue also responded. Liberty and Wabash City Fire Departments, Department of Natural Resources, Indiana State Police, Lafontaine Town Marshal, and Wabash County EMA also assisted at the scene.

Northfield High School juniors Madalyn Dale and Jessika Krom joined Southwood High School sophmore Paul Farlow at Camp Tecumseh YMCA Outdoor Center to develop leadership skills among chosen students from 55 other Rotary Clubs in northern Indiana. “(RYLA) is an opportunity to mentor promising young leaders that are serving their own communities and beyond,” said Dana Brady, local committee chair. “The whole idea behind this, as far as this club is concerned, is that we believe in the program. We’ve seen what it’s done for a number of years.” The camp featured speakers and workshops that focus on decision making, critical thinking, communicating effectively, ethics, career development, public service, contemporary problems, and other issues

The Wabash County Rotary Club sent three delegates to the Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) Camp on April 17-19 to mentor promising youth leaders. The students then shared their experiences at the club’s April 27 meeting and accepted their awards.

Health Department: Use caution when buying meat from door-to-door vendors By The Paper staff The Wabash County Health Department (WCHD) is strongly cautioning consumers to be wary of door-todoor meat vendors. Health Department officials said they have received complaints about such vendors. The department is working closely with the police to investigate this issue. Although there are several legitimate door-to-door meat sales companies, some companies are selling meat without adhering to the appropriate requirements and without proper permits. There have been reports of sellers arriving unannounced at Wabash County residences. WCHD strongly encourages folks to use the utmost caution when considering purchasing meat from a door-to-door meat truck.

Consumers should trust their instincts and follow these tips to avoid being scammed: — Ask to see the company’s Retail Food Permit issued from WCHD. — Ask to see literature from the company (brochure, business card, etc. for review). — Read the label on the package, and check the product inspection information. — Understand the cuts of meat you are buying. — Always check to see that the products have been transported in a refrigerated vehicle. — Know the price per pound. Consumers with doubts about the safety of meat are encouraged to avoid any risk and refrain from purchasing or consuming it. If you feel you are experiencing signs of

illness, please see your doctor as soon as possible. To report a concern

regarding unlicensed door-to-door meat sales, please contact your local police

department, or WCHD at 260-563-0661 Ext. 1249 or 1283. Consumers are

encouraged to note details which might assist identifying the questionable individ-

ual, such as physical description, vehicle description, and license plate number.

will have its annual public meeting at the Roann Public Library, at 7 p.m. and will be honoring these three groups of volunteers as they make life better, just because it is the right thing to do. None of these groups accept federal aid, and all three rely on volunteers and donations of time, talent, food and of course money to operate. The first group honored will be the Roann Food Pantry. The pantry began in the 1980s to help people feed their families. For a time, the pantry operated from the Roann Christian Church. Now they are housed at the Roann Town Hall. Anyone who lives within seven miles of Roann, in Wabash or Miami counties, can come to the pantry. They welcome food donations and financial help, which can be left at Town Hall. The next group honored will be the community dinners of the Walk by Faith Church. A couple years ago this group decided to find a way to minister to their community. They hosted a free Thanksgiving dinner and fed 200. They also held a Christmas dinner. Now the group of volunteers of the church have a totally free meal o0n the third Thursday of the month. The meals are home cooked in the church kitchen from donated ingredients by “some of the best cooks around”. Walk by Faith wants to help and let folks know that God always loves them…for free. The final group that will be honored this year by Roann’s Community Heritage (or RCH), is the Roann Methodist Church and their summer food program. For four years the volunteers at the church provided free meals for all who were age 18 and under, five days a week, for eight weeks in the summer. The meals started being served at 11:15 a.m. and by 12:30 p.m. all meals were served and the clean-up done. When asked what their biggest need was, Gina Cussen said, “volunteers.” If you are interested in helping with a donation or with your time, contact Nancy Shafer at 765-833-2931 on Tuesday or Thursdays.

ners on the corners. Roser would then steal second with Short breaking for home to make it 8-5. Dylan Brown then singled to put runners on the corners again before a Drake Richter walk loaded the bases. Shane Vigar would then single home two more for an 8-7 score when Bryce Kendall grounded out, scoring Richter to make it 8-8. Fremont would score a run in the bottom of the 5th to grab a 9-8 lead before the Norse made some noise in the 7th. Joseph Mitchell led off with a single Short would then draw a one out walk

with both runner advancing a base on a wild pitch. Roser would then ground out, scoring pinch runner Smalley to tie the score at 9 before a Brown walk put runners on the corners.

In game two Remington Monce and Shane Vigar combined for a two hitter as the Norse bats collected 11 hits in a 15-0 win.

Roser added a double in the inning. The Norse had scored three more runs in the seventh on three singles and a walk before Roser went long range again for a three run homer and a 15-0 lead.

Along with the help of Lion members and their spouses, we had great student helpers - Drew Clark, Sarah Driscoll, Liz Howenstine, Drake Heitz, Kaitlyn Snell, Preston Schlemmer, and Devin Gambsy. URBANA LIONS CLUB hosted the annual Urbana Senior Citizens dinner May 3 at the Urbana Lions C o m m u n i t y Building. Lion John Eltzroth gave opening remarks and Lion Luke Hunt gave the invocation. Dean Dawes thanked everyone for coming to his birthday party as his 83rd birthday was on May 3. He spoke of his parents and how their faith and encouragement helped him through some difficult

times and the importance of his faith. The dinner was prepared by Pam Woodall and served by members of the Urbana Yoke Parish. Jen Rankin, executive director of the Wabash County Solid Waste Management District and also a board member of the River Defenders, gave the program. She told how the River Defenders was started and spoke of the impact Michael Beauchamp, president of the River Defenders, and the 400 volunteers made from 2011-2014. She had a video showing what was taken from the Wabash River in those three years. In 2012 from 8 a.m. to noon on one Saturday, 62,000 tons of debris was pulled from the river and 83 percent of that was recycled. Ms. Rankin produced the Junior River Defenders Program for use in elementary classrooms as the board wanted to broaden their scope to education of youngsters as well as adults. She also noted they they are coordinating with other organizations within Wabash County and outside the county as well. Those attending were: Charlene Roberts, Marca Snook,

Nearly every answer the comedian gave put a smile on the student’s faces. “Life is all about the lessons you learn from the mistakes you make,” Palascak said after guessing the student’s number wrong because he “didn’t go with (his) gut.” “Mistakes are more valuable than any success.” He ended the lecture telling the students about “no one believed” in him as a comedian.

“I think part of (growing up). I was raised to be happy and funny, but also be polite and nice so I feel like that doesn’t lend to being funny because you have to sort of take risks and stuff,” he said. “I think that’s what’s so great about standup because it’s a socially acceptable way for you to make fun of TMobile. “So I think, growing up, people didn’t think I was going to be funny as a kid and, like Mr. Benysh said, he didn’t think I would be a comedian and I don’t take like, ‘Ah I’ll show him’ or whatever because I don’t think that was something I ever told him I wanted to do. If I told him, ‘Well, I want to be a comedian.’ He’d probably say, ‘Well you should probably be doing chemistry.” Some of his friends attended his shows and told him that he should be in theatre,

not comedy, Palascak said. “I think it’s sort of, especially with standup, it’s more about what you put into it instead of what you came to the table with,” he continued. “So that’s something I’ve always been proud of myself on

Downtown Urbana in early 20th Century: This photograph shared by John Bowers is one I have never seen before. It is a picture of the building still standing across the corner from the Urbana Post Office showing what was originally Jake Bower’s Garage, where you could buy new and used cars and trucks. The building later became the Legion Hall and a telephone office. The small building to the left was Ed Kratzer’s Barber Shop where he also sold jewelry and repaired watches. When Ed moved his shop across the street it became Carl Eiler’s Insurance office and then the home of Ruth Schultz who was a seamstress. John Bowers said the flatbed truck is a 1929 International which helps date the picture. The steel wheeled tractor on the truck is a Huber, which were built in Marion, Ohio, from 1898 until 1942. In 1942 the U.S. War Department made Huber stop making farm equipment and manufacture road construction equipment as part of the war effort. Photo provided

Tobias downs Haupert in NM Council race By Shaun Tilghman news@nmpaper.com

NORTH MANCHESTER — The Town of North Manchester had just one contested race on the ballot during the May 5 Primary Election, but local voters made their voices heard as challenger Chalmer “Toby” Tobias defeated incumbent Diane Haupert 277-87 to claim the Republican nomination for the Town Council’s District 5 seat. Upon learning of his victory, Tobias posted the following on the Chalmer “Toby” Tobias for Town Council page on Facebook last Tuesday evening: “What a whirlwind! We did it! Thank you to all who voted. You made your voice heard loud and clear, and I am incredibly honored to serve as your Councilman.” “We were over the moon when we heard – just very excited,” Tobias said during a follow-up interview. “My first thought was, let’s get to work, but then I realized I kind of have to cool my jets until January,

which is the tough part. Since the election, the support has been pretty overwhelming – everybody has been very congratulatory. What I like the most is that everybody seems as excited about it as I am; so, I’m really looking forward to getting started working with, and for, everybody.” When asked if there was anything specific he was going to do in order to better prepare himself , Tobias said, “The nice thing about being on Plan Commission and the E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t Commission is that I’ll be involved in some aspects of Town business up until then anyway. So, really, I’ll already have a feel for what’s going on at large. In the meantime, I’m mostly going to read up on codes, regulations, and all that kind of stuff, because I definitely don’t want to walk into the job blind.” Tobias wrapped things up by thanking Haupert, both for running a clean race and for her years of service to the Town, as well as his wife,

Miriah, and everyone that voted. His sentiments were echoed in a post on his personal Facebook page last Wednesday morning. “I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who voted, either for or against me,” Tobias wrote in his post. “Especially on the local level, your vote really does matter. I also want to thank my opponent, Diane Haupert, for her service to our town and for running a clean campaign. “Of course, without Miriah’s support I’d be lost in all aspects, let alone in the election. I’d like to thank the Messer family for their support, and everyone who requested yard signs. Your support truly means the world to me and I’m looking forward to doing what we can to make North Manchester the best we can make it. Let’s get to work!” The Tobias-Haupert race was the only contested race on the North Manchester ballot. Also receiving votes, all Republicans, were Carrie Mugford for clerk-treasurer, 300 votes; Laura

Best of the Best students gearing up for artist ‘super bowl’ By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Seventeen Wabash County art students have finalized their pieces for the eighth annual Best of the Best Art Show on Sunday, May 17. Originally established in 2007 by Michael Hapner and previous Wabash City S c h o o l s Superintendent Dr. Celia Shand, the art program was developed to help expand student art abilities and entrepreneurial skills. This year, students visited the Fort Wayne Museum of Art and refined their artistic skills in workshops with local artists including Kristy Church, Jane Willmert, and Kellie Brace. Southwood High School senior Shelby Babbitt, Wabash High School junior Mason Irelan, and Northfield High School senior and Heartland Career Center representative Zachary Clouse all

agreed that they were glad that they joined the program. While Clouse had wanted to join the program to follow in his older brother’s footsteps, Irelan and Babbit originally weren’t sure about the program. “I never really thought I was going to be in Best of the Best because I never really thought that I was that great,” Babbitt said. “I think it’s made me more confident in what I do. When I did art projects in school, I’d always have to have permission and I’d have to have, ‘Is this going ok?’ Now that I’ve been in it and I’ve learned things, I feel more confident and able to do what I want and not what other people want.” Irelan said that he would advise future potential program participants to join even if they didn’t feel confident. “Since this was my first year, I was like, ‘Well, I don’t know,’”

Wabash County students have prepared artwork for display and purchase at the eighth annual Best of the Best Art Show on May 17. In the Best of the Best art program, students refine their art skills, learn new techniques through workshops with local artists, and gain confidence to “become the best that they can be,” according to program co-director Jeanie Cooper. Photo by Emma Rausch Irelan continued. “I didn’t really know

much about (the program) at all. I thought it was just a bunch of really good artists that were a lot better than me going to make more stuff that would be a lot better than what I made, but it’s not. “I would tell them to take it because it opens up their variety of (art skills).” Wabash County’s high school art teachers choose which students participate in the art program, even if students don’t believe that they are the best artists. “The Best of the Best doesn’t necessarily mean you are the best artist,” said program co-director Jeanie Cooper. “It means that we see potential in you and want you to be the best that you can be. … If they can walk away from our art workshop having learned something, then we did our job.” Clouse said that the program made him think more about what he wants to bring out of his art(continued on page 25)

YOUR WEEKLY ISAACISM: “Whether you are a sports person or not, there are seven core values you should have to make sure success applies off the court as well as on it. Using tennis as an example, today’s successful player must be: confident, determined, engaged, professional, resilient, respectful, and tough. Let’s look at “respectful”: Players should act in a way that demonstrates appreciation for the game, courtesy to their opponents and teammates, and that focuses on bringing out the best in others—all while demonstrating sportsmanship and honoring the rules of the sport. Players should continually strive to develop these values throughout their training and play—both on and off the court. Players that exhibit these seven core values every day will achieve the ultimate goal of competing—and behaving—like a champion.” AS ALWAYS, do me a favor and have a safe and enjoyable week!

Homemakers host Presidents’ Luncheon and Achievement Day Article provided The Presidents’ Luncheon and Achievement Day was held at the Women’s Clubhouse on April 23, 2015. Happy Homemakers was the host club. Ruth Dyson recognized the past officers and presented each with a gift in appreciation for their services during the past year. Teresa Witkoske installed the new officers for 2015-2016 using a theme of spices. She related each office to a spice that would add zest to their duties. Officers for 2015-2016 will be Bonita Kirtlan, president; Jane Long, vice president; Janet Pattee, secretary; Mary Ruth Mendenhall, assistant secretary; Cindy Beard, treasurer; Connie McMinn, assistant treasurer; Connie Cook, community support leader; Linda Landis, education leader; Phyllis Ulshafer, leadership; Ruth Dyson, advisor, Jane Cole, president of Richvalley club; Phyllis Ulshafer, president of Liberty Bells club; Cheryl Pletch , president of K o u n t r y Kaleidoscope club; and Janet Pattee, president of Riverside club. Teresa Witkoske recognized First Book Readers Rosemary Barnes, Cindy Beard, Patty Sausaman, and Cece Wood who were present. Other readers were Alice Stephenson, Sarah Anguilm, and Michelle Richman. Janet Pattee gave the Reading Points awards to Jean Sneed (4325 points), Elaine Cochran (3525 points) and Joan Draper (2400 points). Liberty Bells was the club with the most total points (9040). Richvalley had 8205 points; Riverside 7950 points and Happy Homemakers 7275 points. Mary Ruth M e n d e n h a l l announced that Richvalley had the highest percent of their members present (8 out of 13) with Riverside being second (3 out of 6).

Ruth Dyson recognized the 50 year plus members. Linda Landis became a 50 year member this year. There are 23 who are 50 year members. K o u n t r y Kaleidoscope announced that their club will be 25 years old this year. They presented outgoing president, Ruth Dyson with a gift in appreciation for her services. Scholarship awards were given to Kayla Flack who is attending the University of St. Francis, and to Lindsi Ritchie who will graduate from Northfield High School this year. Guest speaker was Colleen Coble, author of over 55 books. She spoke of her life growing up in Wabash County and her early love of writing and storytelling. She wrote her first book while in the first grade; a story about a horse that had twin colts. She began writing her writing career after she was married. She talked about the difficulty of finding her first publisher and the hopes and disappointments that followed. She had a deadline of one book every six months, although she has that extended to every nine months now, and the publisher is wanting an occasional extra book during this time. She had traveled to all 50 states in researching her books. She spoke of the friendships she has made with other authors and made the point that friendship could fill the voids that we sometimes find within our own lives and families. She is now the CEO of American Christian Fiction Writers and is mentoring other writers to help them with their writing careers. She has a new book out and is working on the next one. Following her talk she signed books for everyone present who either bought a book or had brought one from home. Following lunch Connie Cook thanked everyone for their volunteer services. A

total of over 3000 volunteer hours were reported. She announced the voting for the Christmas ornament was Connie Cook, first; Jane Long, second; Marilyn Strong, third, and Beverly Campbell, fourth. The cultural arts voting was Cindy Beard, first; Ruth Dyson, second; Jane Long, third; and Cindy Beard, fourth. State president, Marcia Dodge, spoke about the upcoming NVON trip to West Virginia and Washington, DC. The trip is in July, but there is a deadline for reservations of May 1 due to getting the necessary clearances for the White House tour. She encouraged members to attend the conference which will be in Indianapolis in June. Ruth Dyson gave some closing remarks.

Bonita Kirtlan led the mission statement and the club

collect, which ended the meeting.
