Hi-Grade recovering after fire

By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com While much is still unknown about last week’s fire at Hi-Grade Egg Producers, Midwest Poultry Services CEO Bob Krouse says the business is already preparing to rebuild.

“As we get permission from the insurance company to go ahead and start moving things out, and make sure that we’re good with the Department of Environmental Management, we’re starting to clear away as much as we can,” Krouse said.

The total cost of the fire, which destroyed five barns and more than one million chickens Monday, Oct. 2, has yet to be determined, Krouse said.

In the meantime, the business is also investigating options to replace the lost buildings.

“That’s another thing we’re still working on. We don’t know if we’ll go back with the same style of housing we had there, or if we’ll be going with cage-free housing,” Krouse said.

“We have three buildings that aren’t connected with the buildings that burned – they’re in a separate part of the farm – that are cage-free.”

Officials with the Chester Township Fire Department said that the Indiana State Fire Marshall will handle the investigation, which will begin at an as-of-yet undetermined date.

Helping Tiffany Weekend benefit to help raise funds for cancer fight

To say Tiffany (Everroad) Frank has been through quite a bit the last few years would be a complete understatement.

In October 2014, Tiffany found a lump in her breast. She went to the doctor, confident it would be nothing to be concerned about. She was wrong. It turned out to be ductal carcinoma

(DCIS).

She opted to have a mastectomy, and all was going well.

Then in July 2016, she noticed another lump and made a return trip to her surgeon. The cancer returned as a high-grade DCIS. The surgeon wanted to delay surgery until the mass could shrink. It didn’t and, in spite of treatment, continued to grow. (continued on page 5)

City delays action on two structures

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

A decision on the fate of two structures in Wabash has been delayed until next week by the Wabash Board of Works and Public Safety.

Mike Galley, 1284 Willard Drive, and Jan Bailey, 20 W. Harrison St., must reappear before the board to learn the fate of a storage facility and a house, respectively.

The city was first notified of Galley’s shed in June and in July, city officials inspected the site and took photographs, according to

Assistant Building Commissioner Terri Wilburn.

The city then sent Galley a letter asking him to remove or repair the “shed or lean-to” attached to the house.

The structure, according to Wilburn, has a roof that is caving in, is not sturdy and is beyond repair.

Galley told the board he is tending to the structure as much as his work schedule and finances allow.

He said he plans to reroof the structure and had estimates of between $2,500 and $5,000 to repair it. He said he couldn’t afford those costs, and plans to work on it bit by bit

as time and money allow.

However, when pressed for a timeframe to get the work finished, he was unable to do so. He threw out the date of Dec. 31.

That prompted board member Todd Titus to tell Galley that it appears he has “not put a lot of thought” into the situation and that it is “not on the front burner” for him.

That, Titus continued, makes him question whether Galley is serious about fixing the property.

Galley said he wants to work with the city and would like a list as to what exactly the city wants repaired.

The board ordered him to remove trash from the yard within

10 days and to seek estimates for repairing the structure by Nov. 1. He is to report back to Wilburn and B u i l d i n g Commissioner John Stephens with that information. The pair will keep the board updated before a decision is made.

As for Bailey, the board will likely decide at its Oct. 19 meeting to which firm will be awarded a contract to demolish the home.

The board received bids from Brainard Excavating and Hank’s Construction on Sept. 21. However, it didn’t take action on the bids in order to give Bailey a chance to privately get quotes and have the house razed. She didn’t do so. Rather, asked the board if it was possi-

ble to allow a contractor to come and remove the home’s limestone siding to preserve it for future use. Doing so, she said, also would help

save dumping fees.

However, City Attorney Randi Zimmer man-Irgang noted, removing the limestone could also affect the bids to

demolish the house, as the bids included the structure’s limestone façade.

“I’d still like to fix the place,” Bailey said.

USDA issues farm safety net and conservation payments From the USDA WASHINGTON – A g r i c u l t u r e Secretary Sonny Perdue recently announced that more than $9.6 billion in payments will be made to producers through the Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC), Price Loss Coverage (PLC) and Conservation Reserve (CRP) programs.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is issuing approximately $8 billion in payments under the ARC and PLC programs for the 2016 crop year, and $1.6 billion under CRP for 2017.

“Many of these payments will be made to landowners and producers in

rural communities that have recently been ravaged by drought, wildfires, and deadly hurricanes,” Perdue said.

“I am hopeful this financial assistance will help those experiencing losses with immediate cash flow needs as we head toward the end of the year.”

The ARC and PLC programs were authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill and offer a safety net to agricultural producers when there is a substantial drop in revenue or prices for covered commodities. Over half a million producers will receive ARC payments and over a quarter million producers will receive PLC payments for 2016 crops, starting this

week and continuing over the next several months.

Payments are being made to producers who enrolled base acres of barley, corn, grain sorghum, lentils, oats, peanuts, dry peas, soybeans, wheat and canola.

In the upcoming months, payments will be announced after marketing year average prices are published by USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service for the remaining covered commodities. Those include long and medium grain rice (except for temperate Japonica rice), which will be announced in November; remaining oilseeds and chickpeas, which

will be announced in December; and temperate Japonica rice, which will be announced in early February 2017. The estimated payments are before application of sequestration and other reductions and limits, including adjusted gross income limits and payment limitations.

Also, as part of an ongoing effort to protect sensitive lands and improve water quality and wildlife habitat, USDA will begin issuing 2017 CRP payments this week to over 375,000 Americans.

“American farmers and ranchers are among our most committed conservationists,” said Perdue. “We all

North Miami competes in county soil contest

By The Paper staff LOGANSPORT — The North Miami FFA Chapter participated in the county soils contest on Tuesday Sept., at the Cass County Fairgrounds.

The event was a shared contest with Cass, Fulton, and Miami counties. The contest consisted of three Homesite and two Agriculture sites.

The top five master competitors that have previously competed on the national level were Cody Francis, Kate Cobler, Abby Pfaffenbach, Eilee Deniston, and Makinzie France.

The top 5 senior level students were Cameron Early, Hayley Anderson, Clay Wildermuth, Josh Hinkle, and David Beck.

The top 3 junior level students were Alaina Weaver, Abby Richardson, and Grant Wildermuth North Miami will be competing at the Area Contest on th October 5 , where

share a responsibility to leave the land in better shape than we found it for the benefit of the next generation of farmers. This program helps landowners provide responsible stewardship on land that should be taken out of production.”

Signed into law by President Reagan in 1985, CRP is one of the largest privatelands conservation program in the United States.

Thanks to voluntary participation by farmers and landowners, CRP has improved water quality, reduced soil erosion and increased habitat for endangered and threatened species.

In return for enrolling in CRP, USDA, through the Farm Service Agency (FSA) on behalf of the Commodity Credit Corporation, provides participants with rental payments and costshare assistance.

Participants enter into contracts that last between 10 and 15 years. CRP payments are made to participants who remove sensitive lands from produc-

tion and plant certain grasses, shrubs and trees that improve water quality, prevent soil erosion and increase wildlife habitat.

Hi-Grade recovering after fire down to work on determining exactly what happened,” Krouse said.

He noted that the henhouses were equipped with alarms but no sprinkler systems, which he said was a typical setup for agricultural facilities.

More than one million chickens were lost in the fire, Krouse said, noting that the facility held a total of 2.7 million chickens and produced nearly 2.3 million eggs per

ers, and we’ll still be grading those here,” Krouse said. “We’ll have more than enough to do to keep everybody busy; nobody’s going to lose any hours or jobs.”

The cause of the fire, reported at 10:13 p.m. Monday, Oct. 2, is still under investigation.

“We’re starting to look into it. There’s still some things smoldering, so we have to wait until everything cools

The buildings that burnt were the oldest on the property, built when the facility opened in 1982, Krouse added.

“They’ve been remodeled, but they were the buildings that were built back in ’82-’84,” he said.

A dollar estimate of the damage was unavailable by deadline.

Nearly two dozen emergency response agencies battled the fire, which took nearly seven hours to contain.

Chester Township Fire Department Assistant Chief Brady Airgood said the department shortly before 10:15 p.m. for a fire at the farm, located east of North Manchester at 5780 E. 1100 N.

“There were five barns that were completely lost,” Airgood said.

“For how long they are, it’s hard for us to get down to the middle of the barn safely once they get going.

The little bit of wind that we had was just enough to push the fire along.”

Around 80 firefighters belonging to 20 fire departments from Wabash, Huntington, Kosciusko, Miami and Whitley counties were called to the fire, he said, as well as Wabash County E m e r g e n c y Management Agency, Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department, Parkview EMS and the American Red Cross.

Airgood said that there were no injuries associated with the

fire.

Firefighters remained on scene throughout Tuesday morning in case the fire rekindled.

NM Chamber hosts marketing workshop

By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — The North Manchester Chamber of Commerce (NMCC) had a “Marketing Basics 101” workshop at the North Manchester Public Library on Sept. 26.

Approximately 20 North Manchester and Wabash business and organizational leaders attended one of two sessions, both sponsored by the NM Chamber’s Business Development Partner, First Financial Bank (FFB).

FFB sponsored the workshops as a way of supporting the Chamber and community businesses.

“This is a way to show we care about our community and our local businesses,” said Kyle Lunford, FFB’s Banking Center Manager.

“It’s an additional way for FFB to partner with our local businesses on their path to success.”

The workshop instructors focused on different areas of marketing, and consisted of Wabash County business professionals from various business sectors.

Library Executive Director Amy Acree and Circulation Manager Jeanna Morbitzer spoke about the importance of organizations targeting their audience, as well as identified

different social media outlets which are available for marketing purposes.

Sue Roesner, Media/Community Relations Specialist of Parkview Hospital, talked about the value of building great relationships with media personnel.

Haley Beauchamp, marketing specialist with the Honeywell Center, spoke in regard to the significance of branding an organization and gave ideas of what to consider when determining an organization’s “manifesto.”

In addition, Christine Flohr, executive director of Visit Wabash County talked about how to make wise choices by making “data driven” decisions when spending funds on marketing. Each participant will receive a follow-up, one on one consultation with a marketing professional to help put what they’ve learned into action.

“The NM Chamber is dedicated to supporting the business community in North Manchester and its surrounding communities,” NMCC Executive Director Debra Pyrah said.

“We are looking forward to hosting other similar events to help member businesses and organizations in the areas they’ve requested.

local businesses depends a lot on the support of the community and each other,” she continued.

“By partnering together, business leaders are able to capitalize on each other’s strengths and knowledge.

As a result, our business community will become stronger as a whole, benefitting all of us. This falls right in line with the Chamber Board’s newly developed vision, “Work Together.

Grow Together.”

Flohr, who also serves as the Business D e v e l o p m e n t Committee Chair, noted that “after each workshop, attendees gave great reviews when completing a feedback questionnaire.

Everyone seems very excited about having their personal one on one consultation with a marketing professional to help them refine their marketing plan.”

Members of the North Manchester Chamber of Commerce board thank First Financial Bank officials for their support, as well as library officials for the use of its facilities, and the presenters.

Helping Tiffany In May, Tiffany learned the cancer had spread to her spine and there were spots on her liver.

In early August, Tiffany and her husband, Brad, opted to try a treatment in use in Europe, but not widely used in the United States.

The cost is $22,000, and isn’t covered by insurance.

On Saturday, Oct. 14, friends from the New Life Baptist Church are hosting a benefit auction and barbecue at the Wabash County Fairgrounds to help raise money for the family. The event will be from 3-7 p.m., with a raffle at 6 p.m.

Tiffany “is doing remarkably well,” Brad Frank told The Paper of Wabash County in a telephone interview. “It

was, I would say, four weeks ago that I was wheeling her around in a wheelchair just to get around the house. She couldn’t even get out of bed.

“Ever since last week, things really, really started turning for the better.”

The change, he believes, is largely because of the new treatment she is undergoing.

Tiffany undergoes treatment at the Get Well Center in Mansfield, Ohio.

“When it gets to killing cancer, there’s just a lot of pain involved and it really brought her down,” Brad said.

“As that tapers off, she’s really regaining a lot of strength and is feeling better.”

The bulk of Tiffany’s treatment, he said, is a non-con-

ventional treatment called Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT).

“They take your blood sugar down pretty far,” Brad said, explaining the treatment. “One of cancer’s favorite foods is sugar. When they get your blood sugar down – and this is after fasting in the morning – they administer about 10 percent of what a conventional dose of chemotherapy intravenously, with sugar.

“When your blood sugar is that low, it’s a high absorption rate for anything. It wants to get its own blood sugar up. But the cancer cells are one of the first cells to absorb any nutrients. They’re absorbing what they think are sugar, but its

laced with chemotherapy, and it kills them without the dramatic effects of conventional chemotherapy.”

Conventional chemotherapy, he said, is “like a carpet bombing. It kills good and bad cells.”

Tiffany’s markers, he said, show evidence of the cancer cells dying off.

However, he continued, she doesn’t have to deal with any of the side effects of conventional chemotherapy such as losing her hair or mouth sores.

The Franks felt that it was hard to believe the conventional cancer treatment was the route to go. That belief, Brad said, is what led them to the Get Well Center.

“We began seeking

out alternative methods,” he said, “more holistic methods, more of the natural path. “ The couple also viewed a video entitled “The Truth About Cancer” by Ty Bollinger, and that helped convince them to pursue other options.

“After other trials of natural medicines that seemed to be effective, but not effective enough, we chose this path of the IPT and it seems that it’s kicking butt now,” Brad said.

Work on Saturday’s benefit began with members of the Franks’ church.

“I’m too stubborn or too prideful to really reach out for help,” Brad said.

DOE announces income eligibility guidelines

By The Paper staff INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana

Department of Education (IDOE) announced the 201718 income eligibility

guidelines for the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).

Each year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) updates income eligibility guidelines for meals served at day care facilities and adult day care centers based on federal poverty levels.

Administered by IDOE, the purpose of CACFP is to improve the diets of young children and older and impaired adults, and to increase the opportunity for people in these groups to eat a variety of nutritious foods.

The meals and snacks served meet nutritional standards set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The income guidelines began July 1, 2017, and will remain in effect until June 30, 2018. The guidelines apply to participant eligibility for free and reduced price meals served in day care facilities, family day care homes and adult day care centers that participate CACFP. Based on family circumstances, certain

groups are automatically eligible for free or reduced price meal benefits.

Those groups include participants who are: T e m p o r a r y Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP or Food Stamps in Indiana) Supplemental Security Income (SSI) (adult day care) M e d i c a i d Participants (adult day care) Foster Children

Children enrolled in Head Start, At-Risk Afterschool Center, or an Emergency Shelter Day care facilities typically provide applications for free and reduced price meals during registration and the beginning weeks of the “school” year.

Applications may be submitted anytime and only one application is required per household. All information is kept confidential. The majority of day care facilities

and adult day care centers that participate in CACFP provide meals to all enrolled participants without any separate c h a r g e .

Reimbursement to the facility is based on household income of those enrolled for care.

Prenatal Education fund to benefit from Hospital Gala

By The Paper staff Parkview Wabash Hospital’s Prenatal Education Fund will be the beneficiary from the 23rd annual Parkview Wabash Foundation Gala.

The event will take place Saturday, Nov. 11, at the Honeywell Center in downtown Wabash.

In the Parkview region, 10 percent of

babies have a low birth-weight and that can put these babies at an increased risk for complications. Low birth-weight babies are susceptible to other common problems such as breathing, neurologic and gastrointestinal problems, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

Maternal health has been proven to

have a direct impact on birth-weight in babies, which is why early and regular prenatal care for mothers is critical to the health care of pregnant women.

Prenatal care is also a key step toward having a healthy pregnancy and baby.

Parkview Wabash Hospital will offer classes and programs such as safe sleep, Period of

Purple Crying (shaken baby syndrome), child birthing, breastfeeding, moms support group, baby basics, infant CPR, car seat safety and more. T he Prenatal Education Fund has been established by the Parkview Wabash Foundation to assure support of this programming to families for years to come.

POLIO NOW” MARCH: The Rotary Club of North Manchester invites the community to take part in a march to “End Polio Now” at 1:30 p.m.

Thursday, Oct. 12.

The march is to raise awareness about efforts to eradicate polio in the world.

The march will start near the Subway shop at Main and Mill streets.

Members of the public are invited to walk – or roll with strollers, bicycles and wheelchairs – along the route. It is a walk and roll as a reminder of that polio is a crippling disease, leaving many of its victims with paralyzed limbs.

All money raised in the North Manchester march, up to $2,000, will be matched by a donation by Gregory from proceeds of her half of the North M a n c h e s t e r Chamber of Commerce FunFest 50/50 raffle. Those who wish to contribute can make a check out to the Rotary Club of North Manchester, P.O. Box 121, North Manchester, IN 46962. Please put End Polio Now in the memo line.

Donations will also be accepted the day of the event.

Payment can be made with cash, checks and credit cards.

High School football moves to week No.9, the final week of the regular season. And in these parts, it’s the Three Rivers Championship game week.

The TRC has 10 teams. There are two divisions. Week No.9 is a cross division matchup that determines the final order of the conference. It is seeded in each division with tie breakers so it becomes clear cut as to what the final week matchups are based on the regular season BILL BARROWS games.

This week’s matchups will be: for ninth place, Wabash travels to Whitko, for seventh place, Maconaquah at Manchester, for fifth place, North Miami at Tippecanoe Valley, for third place, Peru at Rochester and the championship will be Southwood at Northfield where the Wabash WebTV crew will be to bring you all of the action.

We will begin the pregame will begin at 6:45 p.m. from Wilbur Dawes Field and kickoff will be at 7p.m.

In play last Friday, the Wabash Apaches picked up their first win of the season, a 30-29 victory over Tippecanoe Valley. Wabash held Valley twice on two-point conversion attemps in the closing minute of the contest to preserve the win. The second attemp was needed because of a penalty on the first attempt.

In other local action, Carson Blair threw for sixt touchdowns, five to Peyton Trexler, as the Southwood Knights rolled over Maconaquah, 45-7.

Manchester overcame a slow start and used big plays in a comeback win over TRC rival Rochester, 28-26.

Northfield gained more than 500 yards through the air and on the ground en route to an easy win over Whitko.

The Norse won, 64-6, over the Wildcats.

THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

October 11, 2017

VIEWPOINT A rising tide Dear Editor: Last summer I had the exciting opportunity to travel to the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska with a Manchester University ecology class. One memorable experience was spending a morning walking on the ocean floor. At 9:56 a.m. the ocean level was nearly 26 feet lower than it was at 3:30 a.m., exposing more than a hundred feet of ocean beach and countless, fascinating sea creatures. Six hours and 34 minutes later, it all was underwater again.

That was a rising tide. It does, indeed, float all boats.

So, too, does early childhood education, especially when there is broad and affordable access.

It’s difficult to study people and how they develop. We can look at trends, countless variables, and statistics. However, evidence that I find very convincing is the benefits of early childhood education. An investment in a high-quality early childhood education program for children age 0-5 years old yields better workers, better citizens, stronger families and more capable leaders.

Research suggests that expenditures in the earliest years provide the highest return on investment of any educational spending.

Even though neuroscien-

Letters to the Editor tists suggest 90% of brain development occurs before the age of 5, only 14% of public education dollars are spent during this crucial time period. The impact is especially evident in at-risk children, growing up in households with limited economic resources. Without a highquality early education opportunity, those at-risk children are more likely to drop out of school, become a teen parent, require special education, commit a crime, and they’re less likely to attend college.

I view broad access to quality education as a form of infrastructure – the framework for economic success and a resilient society. Just as roads, phone lines, post offices, public safety workers, and banking systems provide the foundation for the kind of life we seek here in Wabash County, access to education offers similar support.

As a Wabash County banker, I see parents who make use of early childhood education thrive. They will be better

employees, with less absenteeism, healthier children, more focused on their vocations, and with stronger connections to the communities where they live and work.

An investment in early childhood education makes Wabash County a better place to live and work. I’m grateful to the Community Foundation of Wabash County for starting an Early Childhood Education Committee that is committed to creating strategies to best serve our youngest population, which will benefit us all.

An investment in early childhood education makes our community a place where our young people will stay, work, and support families.

It makes our community attractive to businesses looking to relocate or expand. It makes our communities attractive to entrepreneurs looking for a place to invest and improve.

An investment in early childhood education is a rising tide for all of us. – Steven Hammer, North Manchester

WACT officials offer thanks Dear Editor, The Wabash Area Community Theater (WACT) would like to thank The Honeywell Foundation Eugenia Honeywell Grant for the support of our recent production of “The Addams Family.”

Their name was inadvertently left off the program and we apologize for any inconvenience this omission may have caused. WACT would not be able to continue to present

quality musical theater without their, and others’, support.

We would also like to thank the many individuals who came out to see our production. The last piece of any show is the audience. They play a vital role in the presentation of a play. They are the reason for all the actors and production staff to do what they do. They provide the feedback and draw out the best each participant can do. We had three fantastic and

responsive audiences for our production and we thank you for allowing us the opportunity to entertain you.

Thanks to the organizations and people of Wabash County for your continued support of the arts and Wabash Area Community Theater. It is one of the things that make Wabash County so great. Beth Miller and Beverly Vanderpool, co-producers of “The Addams Family”

MSD approves Athletic Code

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com MSD of Wabash County’s Athletic Code was approved Tuesday, Sept. 26, with only changes made to replace slashes with “and or.”

The policy’s changes passed with a 3-2 vote after nearly a 30-minute discussion regarding a possible additional revision to the code proposed by Board member Todd Dazey.

On Sept. 19, Dazey introduced an amendment that established harsher punishment if a student violated state code, specifically in terms of possession of alcohol, tobacco or a controlled substance. If implemented, students found in violation would miss the remainder of the scheduled season on first offense, with the option of lessening the punishment by 25 percent if the student attended the Bowen Center. Upon second offense, the student would miss 365 days of sports.

At Tuesday’s meeting, Board member Matt Driscoll proposed to make the Bowmen Center a requirement.

“I think (Dazey’s

amendment for first offense) is too lenient.

Period,” Driscoll said, adding that it should be “minimum half a (season) and take the Bowen Center also.

And if that season is three-fourths done— if they normally play basketball after football—you prorate it to that. I think they need to go to the Bowmen Center, too. … And if they want to reduce that some way, I would have them drug test weekly on their dime.

Then you can reduce some of it.”

However, Board member Gary Fadil disagreed with the amendment.

“For the first offense, say somebody makes a mistake and that this child has been good and they do something stupid once, we could actually do more harm to this child by swinging that pendulum,” Fadil said. “I feel like we’re swinging this pendulum so far to the right that we’re going to do some damage, because this is your first offense, you’ve been caught, you have to sit out. …

You can also now push them to the other side and they say, ‘Ok. I’m done.

I’m done for the year.

Now I can go and do

things unsupervised,’ and we could actually do more hard than good and that’s my concern when we’re looking at completely throwing them out for the whole season.”

“My point would be that the good that we’re doing is that, even with the whole season’s suspension and the loss of the remainder of the season, we’re still doing something far less punitive than what could happen to them if they were arrested,” Dazey replied. “People get arrested and go to jail for first offenses all the time. We’re not doing that. We’re letting them know, ‘Look your actions have consequences and that we take them seriously and we should because you have violated Indiana law by being in possession of drugs or alcohol.’”

Board member Todd Topliff questioned how many students the amendment would affect.

“The goal would be to have zero,” Driscoll said, “and sometimes with growing up, your mom or dad said, ‘No.’ They gave you thing and things you couldn’t do. So you could do this as a reward.”

“I’m not arguing with that point,” Fadil said in response. “My concern is that we are the executioner. We are the worst hammer that they are ever going to (experience in school). What we are trying to do is educate (with) this policy, but when we look at this, … we are to be encouraging.

We are supposed to have those types of activities that say, ‘You know what? You do this, you cross the line, here’s step one.

You do it again, it’s step two.’”

Dazey noted that the current policy has been in place for a while and students still violate it.

“They know when they signed up for sports that was the policy and they still chose to violate it,” he said. “So now we give them this as the policy and when they know that they’re violating it, ‘I have bigger consequences waiting ahead of me.’”

Fadil questioned the board’s goal with the amendment.

“What are we trying to do as an educational system?” he asked rhetorically.

“What are we trying to do? We’re trying to get them to understand consequences.

We want to grow

them, we want to educate them and also know consequences. But we’re also not going to cut them off at the knees and say, ‘We are throwing you out because are no good.’

And we are saying that, in my mind, at the first time. We are saying you are trash, you are done and go sit there or go home or go drink or go do drugs because we don’t care at this time because we’ve just (washed our hands of the situation).”

“I think what we’re supposed to be teaching in team sports is the whole reason to have team sports,” Dazey replied. “We have team sports, I believe, is so we can teach a child they have a responsibility to other people. You have a responsibility for your teammates and you do what’s necessary to be a part of the team so it can be successful.

And if you’re going to do things that take you away from that, then you have not lived up to that responsibility. … We have lots of goals in our education system, but one of the things that we have to do is to teach the person to be a good person.”

Superintendent Mike Keaffaber told the board that he had been in contact with other Three Rivers Conference superintendents.

“One (superintendent) talked about how it is a teachable moment when a mistake is made,” Keaffaber said. “I think administration, including central administration and principals, we still propose the Athletic Code (with the initial revisions).

Part of it is, according to (neuroscience), … all the way up until 25(years-old) the brain is still working and still growing.

Different things are still happening and I don’t think students just consciously look at (the policy) and say, ‘Ok this is what I want to do or not going to do.’ And I do

agree that there are consequences for their actions. There always are, but I do agree that we do have to have those teachable moments.

“Having a coach in your ear when you’re standing at the sidelines saying, ‘This is what happens when you do that. Don’t make that mistake again.’

Obviously, I think they are some of the people that have the most influence.”

The board had the option of voting for the revised version of the Athletic Code with changes made to replace slashes with “and or” or to implement Dazey’s policy.

In the 3-2 vote, Fadil, Topliff and Board Chair Kevin Bowman voted for the revised version with Dazey and Driscoll against.

Two shooters last year that won $11,500

at the state championship outdoor shoot, and they could have won as much as $40,000 at the national championship.

There are colleges

now that have archery teams that are scouting shooters at S3DA events.

Locally there are nine certified coaches and several assis-

tant coaches to help train the kids in all aspects of archery, with safety being our top priority.

S3DA has three different age groups; third to fifth grade is Elementary; sixth to eighth grade is Middle School; and ninth to 12th grade is High School.

With each age group there are four styles: traditional recurve, olympic recurve, pins (hunter style set up), and open ( full freestyle set up).

In the fall, there will be three regional shoots, a state championship, and a national championship for indoor spot shooting. In the spring, there will be three regionals, a state championship, and a national championship for outdoor

3D animal targets.

Organizers take everyone on the team to the shoots and we encourage all skill levels to participate.

The open house will answer any questions. However, parents and students who would like to call to ask questions may do so. Call 260569-1853 and ask to speak to Coach Wayne Bass and Bucks has an indoor range

â?ˆ

as well as two outdoor ranges. The team practices twice a week but it is not maniditory to be at all practices. We understand everyone has lives and others sports they may be in so we work with each student when we can.

The local team was new to this last year and still placed third in the Nationals for High School and fifth for Elementary.

MSO to debut ‘A Family Portrait’

By David Fenker david@nmpaper.co m NORTH MANCHESTER — The M a n c h e s t e r S y m p h o n y Orchestra will begin its 79th season with a unique oratorio written by one of its own, titled “A Family Portrait”.

All area residents are invited to experience a Civil War encampment before

the concert, which will begin at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 16, in Manchester U n ive r s i t y ’s C o r d i e r Auditorium.

According to a release from the university, Dr. Debra Lynn, MU’s director of choral organizations and voice study, composed the oratorio, which will feature Grammy-winning baritone Daniel Belcher and Judy

Marlett, who found the letters on which the show is based, as soloists.

“Judy Marlett is a guest soloist and really the catalyst for this program.

She found letters written by her 19th century ancestors and wanted to celebrate the story of their lives, so she commissioned Debra Lynn to select letters and set them to music,” MSO Volunteer Board President Joanne Case said.

“Daniel Belcher is also a soloist, a Grammy winning baritone. He has become famous in the opera world for his ability to perfor m new music.

That can be a challenge when you don’t have models to consult who have already broken ground on the music. He is a perfect fit for this new work.”

Marlett, a professor of music at

N o r t h w e s t N a z a r e n e University in Nampa, Idaho, found letters written by three of her relatives, including her grandfather, detailing life in the state of New York during the Civil War. She then sent them to Lynn, a friend and Civil War hobbyist, who was later commissioned to compose “A Family Portrait.”

The oratorio tells the stories of Union soldier Tyler Houghtaling; Lanie Houghtaling, who died in her early 20s; and Percy Houghtaling, one of Lanie’s two children and Marlett’s grandfather.

According to Case, this new piece speaks directly to the 50-member orchestra’s mission to bring diverse people together.

“Part of MSO’s mission is to enhance the cultural and educational health of the region. With the Civil War era as our theme, to be the vehicle for bringing diverse people together — campus and community, high school students and veterans, young and old, peacemakers and

war history buffs, family past and present — is core to why the orchestra exists,” she said.

“I think this is part of why we won a grant for this concert from Arts United and the N a t i o n a l Endowment for the Arts. We made the case that music grows your ability to sympathetically imagine another person’s plight, and this is something our democracy needs right now.

National and family history will be experienced at the concert on a very personal, human level.”

In addition to the MSO and the two featured soloists, two MU choirs and three area high school choirs will perform: Fairfield, Northfield and Warsaw.

Case also noted that Matthew Barnett, a history teacher at Lewis Cass High School and re-enactor, will be at the university for the pre-concert encampment.

“In keeping with the desire to show the humanity of Judy’s ancestors through the letters, the board thought a Civil War encampment would help

Union soldier Tyler Houghtaling penned some of the letters which “A Family Portrait” is based on. Photo provided people understand day to day life of a soldier and his typical trials and pleasures — not so much the battle part, but their clothing, shelter, food, recreation, relationships, and sickness,” Case said.

“The North Manchester Center for History helped

us locate Matthew Barnett, a teacher who played the father of Abraham Lincoln at one of the Center’s events.

He turned out to be the perfect leader for the encampment. He will lead a cast of MU baseball players to play a couple of innings according to the 1860s rules and terms the soldiers would have known.”

Bar nett and the 30 th Indiana group

will be set up around 6 p.m. to showcase what a day in the life of a Civil War soldier may have been like, with the baseball game beginning at 6:30 p.m., according to the release.

A d d i t i o n a l l y, Houghtaling family artifacts and projects by students from Manchester High School and Southwest Allen County’s Woodside Middle School will be on display inside the auditorium.

While the preconcert activities are free and open to the public, the concert itself is ticketed. Tickets may be bought at the entrance to the auditorium with cash or check, or online at www.manchestersymphonyorchestra.com.

Children 17 and younger are free.

Local families touched by Civil War Editor’s note: The following are a series of stories about local families who, in one way or another, have been touched by the Civil War.

Family Losses

By Jennifer McSpadden Some of the most tragic Civil War stories involve the families who suffered multiple losses.

There is a house on the corner of Wabash and Sinclair streets in Wabash that has a very sad history.

Three brothers from that house, Richard, Charles, and William went to fight in the Civil War in the 101st Indiana Regiment, two in Company F, one in Company A. They never came home. They lie in graves in Tennessee and Georgia, and one in Andersonville.

On September 20, 1863, all three were in the terrible fighting at Chickamauga, Georgia. On that day,

2nd Lieut. Richard Busick was wounded.

He lived on for nearly a month before dying of his wounds on October 16. A month later his brother, Pvt. Charles Busick, died at Chattanooga, Tenn., of the wounds he’d suffered there and at Chickamauga.

The third brother, Pvt. William Busick, was captured at Chickamauga and taken to Andersonville Prison in Georgia. He died of disease there Aug. 10, 1864.

A particularly poignant letter tells of their deaths.

Lieutenant John S. Hawkins of the 101st Indiana Regiment wrote to Captain W i l l i a m s , Chattanooga, Tenn.: “I feel sorrow to tell you that Charles A. Busick is no more. He was wounded climbing Missidnary Ridge, and died Nov 27th ... I feel sorrow that the last one of Mr. Busick’s boys has met with such a misfor-

tune. When we left Wabash, they were three as stout hearty boys as the Co. had.

But such things must be in time of War.” William, Richard, and Charles were aged 24, 20, and 18, respectively when they died.

MHS alumnus joins ‘Jersey Boys’ for national tour Show coming to Honeywell Thursday, Oct. 19

By Emma Rausch

joined the cast of the “Jersey Boys” on national tour this August and will be coming to Wabash on Thursday, Oct. 19, for

the musical’s Honeywell Center performance.

Cable and his family moved to North Manchester from Pennsylvania in 1994, the summer before his fourth grade year. It was in the Wabash County town that Cable explored all of his interests.

“I think of Indiana as the place where I was really able to pursue many different things,” Cable told The Paper of Wabash County. “I was able to be a very diverse kid and really explore different things that I enjoyed from sports to various musical pursuits, piano or singing.

“People think of it like a fly-over state.

‘Why would I want to live there?’ But it was a good place to grow up in terms of being able to explore various interests and I’m thankful for that.”

Cable’s path to theater began as a member of the summer Visual and Performing Arts program and the Manchester High School theater department as well as church and honors choirs.

“I would say my route into theatre was through music,” he said. “I started taking piano lessons when I was in first or second grade. I was

in some choirs either with the church or with the school. I did the Circle the State with Song, all-state choirs elementary, middle school and high school. … There was the community theatre program down in Wabash and I started doing those shows.

“I enjoyed being on stage. I enjoyed performing. I enjoyed the people that were in the shows. That type of collaboration with people that were interested in creating that type of art. … I don’t know if there was a moment that I can remember thinking, ‘Hey I want to do shows,’ but it was just always something that I was interested in” As a freshman at Manchester High School, Cable met educator Lani Christiansen, who directed the high school’s musicals at the time.

Christiansen also gave Cable voice lessons.

“Lani led me down the path that I find myself traveling today,” Cable said, explaining that she was the first to suggest he could go to college for theater or vocal performance.

“I didn’t know people went to college for performing arts at all and I certainly didn’t know if I was talented enough to pursue this life.”

Jonathan Cable

However, nevertheless, he pursued the endeavor and attended Illinois Wesleyan University for a degree in music theatre.

Through Wabash County’s variety of theater and music programs, Cable said he gained confidence and experience in the field before he made it a career goal.

“I mean you can go and take a theatre program, you can go to college and learn about the craft, but the only way to get better at doing anything, especially being an actor or being a singer on stage, is to do it,” he

explained. “’Boots on the stage’ is kind of what they call it.

Getting up there and learning how to respond to an audience and how to play onstage with other actors. Those shows in Wabash certainly gave me the confidence and the experience I needed to push me toward a career.”

After college, Cable moved to New York City to continue his career path, admittedly with “lots of ambition and very little money” to support himself.

“Obviously, it was a bit of a culture shock coming from a town of 6,000 people and moving into a city with 8 million,” Cable said, adding that NYC “drains your energy, your time and your wallet before you know it.”

Cable admitted that after 10 years of “moderate success” in smaller, regional theatre productions, it became easy to doubt his future in the acting business.

However, that changed in August when he auditioned for a role in “Jersey Boys.” Cable said that he is feeling “relieved that he persevered” to land his spot in the production.

“Jersey Boys” tells the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, offering a unique experience for the Broadway (continued on page 23)

MHS alumnus joins ‘Jersey Boys’ for national tour ...continued from page 22 production’s cast with the actual members of the popular group, according to Cable.

“It’s cool because three of these guys are still alive,” he said. “Frankie and Tommy DeVito are still around and they weren’t very involved with our production, but with the Broadway production, they were very involved. Bob Gaudio coached our Frankie on tour on the music. They had a video session.

Frankie will probably come see the show when we’re in (New) Jersey.

“It’s really cool and the creative team that we worked with, they have worked with Frankie and Bob with collaborating on this show.

So it’s 1 degree of separation and it’s really cool to feel like this is an authentic story from their lives.”

Cable landed the role as swing, or understudy for two of the Four Seasons and two ensemble parts.

“So with my role, I don’t perform or I haven’t performed yet,” he said. “We’ve been on tour for two weeks and I haven’t gone on yet. It’s really in the of someone gets sick or someone takes a vacation or someone goes to a wedding or something like that, but my job is to know all

four of these parts and jump in at any time.”

While not starting as a leading role, Cable said he’s excited for the opportunity to tour with the musical.

“It’s the stuff of anxiety nightmares, for sure, being thrust on stage before you’re ready and being expected to know almost half of the lines and music in the show,” he said, “but it has been a great honor learning this show from people who were

involved with the Broadway production.”

Since the tour stop in Wabash will be like a homecoming for him, Cable said he hopes he is called on to perform in one of his roles for the Honeywell Center performance, where he once performed in a local performance of “Fiddler on the Roof,” but added that he knows there can be no guarantee.

“It is one of those meaningful, full-circle moments for me touring through

Wabash, a place that shaped what I would want to do for the rest of my life,” Cable said. “It’s really special.”

The Honeywell Center performance of “Jersey Boys” will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 19.

Tickets are available online at honeywellcenter.org or by calling the Honeywell Center Box Office at 260-5631102.

County council considers using PSAP approach to LIT rates

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash County homestead property owners may not see an increase on their taxes after all following the Wabash County Council’s meeting on Monday, Sept. 25.

The council continued its discussion on the LIT rates on Monday, setting aside ideas discussed at its August meeting.

On Aug. 28, Darren Bates, of DataPitStop, pro-

posed that the council should review the county’s circuit breaker program, which provides tax relief credits to homeowners, and possibly take away some of the credits to assist with growing the levy by 4 percent without raising the tax rates.

“What we had originally talked about was reducing the property tax relief,” Auditor Marcie Shepherd told the board Monday.

“Currently, our income tax is 2.9 and

what makes up that 2.9 is we have allocated 1 to property tax relief, .25 to public safety, .25 economic development and 1.4 to certified shares.

“So what the proposal is to reduce the property tax relief by .5 and move that .5 over to certified shares to increase the certified shares to 1.9.”

However, on Sept.

18, the plan changed after Shepherd and Bates discovered another option, according to Shepherd.

“I believe Marcie and I said there was one option before and that is we didn’t give as much to homeowners and we give more to rentals and business and farmers,” Bates said, “but it only increased the efficiency by 10 to 15 percent of the money that you are pulling in of $6.5 million.

“But that got thrown out once we found out about PSAP, the ability to fund PSAP through income tax.”

O.J. seeks funds to restore pioneer schoolhouse

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com O.J. Neighbours’ pioneer schoolhouse is in need of restoration and the Wabash elementary is asking for the public’s help in the endeavor, according to Danielle Miller, principal.

Days prior to O.J. Neighbours’ 29th annual re-enactment on Sept. 14, the schoolhouse, a 177year-old structure, officially sunk into itself due to decaying logs in the back, right corner, Miller told The Paper of Wabash County.

“At this point with the schoolhouse, it has to be completely refurbished,” Miller said.

“The logs are 177years-old and even though we have done waterproofing and different things, time has taken its toll.

“We’re to the point where the majority of the logs, 75 to 90 percent of the logs, are not salvageable,” she later added. “So we are going to have to do a lot of work to it.

Most of the estimates coming in at this point are $50,000 to $75,000.”

Originally built in 1840 as the Pleasant Hill School in St. Louis, Mo., Tom and Shirley Sherman donated the schoolhouse to O.J. Neighbours in 1986 in honor of former educator, Ethel Smith, Mrs. Sherman’s mother.

“When Dave

Sodervick was the principal here, his passion was for outside learning,” Miller said, “and he had established that outside learning lab, which we named after him, dedicated to him, and he had received a letter from Mrs. Smith’s daughter (on Oct. 6, 1986) saying they wanted to donate it.

So that’s how this whole thing started with Ethel Smith’s daughter.”

Smith, a Wabash High School home economics teacher from approximately 1956 to 1968, was born Nov. 4, 1903, in Urbana and lived in Wabash for most of her life before passing away in 1988, according to Smith’s obituary.

The schoolhouse was a “catalyst in learning” for the local elementary reenactment, Miller continued.

“Mr. Sodervick had 35 different spring and fall projects the teachers could have him sign up the kids to do,” Miller said. “The stuff he did was just amazing to me. So that’s how re-enactment began. That’s the heart of where it all started.

“When you look at that one moment that set tradition for our school and changed our school in a positive manner, it was the schoolhouse,” she later added.

On Oct. 30, 1986, 13 Wabash residents traveled to Missouri to retrieve the schoolhouse,

according to a historic O.J. Neighbours document.

“After three days of dismantling and work, the logs were loaded and brought to Wabash on Nov. 2, 1986,” the document stated. “They were unloaded by O.J. Neighbours parents and other Wabash residents on Saturday, Nov. 15.”

Joe Davis, Wabash vocational school teacher, and his class of trade students poured the foundation in December 1986, and Claude Markstahler, a Wabash Middle School teacher, contracted to erect the building and laid the first logs on April 1, 1987, the document continued.

Construction completed on Aug. 22, 1987.

O.J. Neighbours’ first re-enactment would follow the next year in 1988.

Since then, O.J. Neighbours’ pioneer village grew to include a church, a blacksmith’s shop and a mercantile.

The re-enactment also expanded to include Native A m e r i c a n dwellings, like a teepee and hut.

“This year was our 29th (re-enactment) and next year will be our 30th year of tradition with this,” Miller said.

“This is a cornerstone of our school culture and what we do, and it began Mr. Sodervick and this outdoor area.”

At the time, the

County council considers using PSAP approach to LIT rates ...continued from page 26 Safety Access Point, is “basically” used for central dispatch, according to Shepherd.

“So what you could do with that—It’s a part of public safety,” Shepherd said. “So our public safety, if you wanted, you could leave that at a .25 then you could take a .09 and put that in part of public safety. So the .09 is designated just for the county, just for PSAP. Nothing else can be used for any-

thing else than that.

You can’t use that to build a central dispatch building. You can’t use it to maintain, like put a new roof or anything like that. It’s just for maintaining of equipment (and) salaries for people.

“I spoke with Darren and we estimated that currently central dispatch’s budget is $562,000 rounded and if we moved a .09, that would be enough to

cover central dispatch’s budget. So then we could in reality from county General (Fund) into PSAP, which would free up roughly $600,000 out of county General.”

Since a decision is required to be made

by Oct. 31, the council will host a special meeting for public hearing on Oct. 16 at 5 p.m. to finalize their discussion on LIT rate options.

O.J. Neighbours’ one-room schoolhouse sunk into itself in September due to decay in several logs on the back, right side of the structure. Officials are seeking help to restore the historic building.

Photo by Emma Rausch cost to reconstruct the schoolhouse was approximately $4,000.

Today, the cost to restore the structure has increased nearly 15 times that amount, according to Miller.

“There’s a lot that needs to be done,” she said. “I’m really to the point right now, now that I have that information, is to start reaching out to the community asking for people who have a passion for this to come along side us and help us. I need historical expertise. I need building expertise and then I also need fundraising expertise because there is no school-related fund to restore a oneroom schoolhouse that was donated in 1986. It’s not a budget line item. I wish it were, but it isn’t.

“So this is really going to become a call to arms with our community to come along side us to help save and restore the treasure that was donated to us nearly 30 years ago.”

The structure’s restoration is “bigger than just a schoolhouse” and that’s why the school is asking for the public’s support, according to Miller.

“It goes so much deeper,” she said.

“It’s the roots of our community.

The Wabash community, when you look at everything we do, from the Stellar

All of these different things, it really speak to the heart and the spirit of our community.

“It goes deeper than just the schoolhouse. It’s the traditions and it’s connections with one another and the community support that we’re trying to build here. … And I

think when you get to the ‘why,’ I think that’s your answer.

It’s not the schoolhouse itself. It’s the spirit in which it was brought to us.

That is the reason that we’re asking people to help us.”

Officials have established a schoolhouse restoration fund, which is a 501c3 account, to

accept taxdeductible donations, according to Miller.

Haunted castles across the globe Haunted buildings tend to garner more attention around Halloween.

Some people believe in ghosts and haunted buildings while others feel apparitions are nothing more than a byproduct of superstitious imaginations running wild.

But even those who don’t subscribe to the idea that ghosts can linger on earth and haunt certain buildings no doubt enjoy a good story. The following castles are among the many buildings across the globe purported to be inhabited by spirits.

• Predjama Castle,

Slovenia: A cave castle situated in the middle of a cliff, Predjama Castle in Slovenia was once inhabited by the robber baron Erazem Lueger. After murdering a relative of Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III in 1483, Erazem managed to hole up and survive in the castle thanks to secret passageways in the cave that made it possible for him to secure food and other provisions. But Erazem was ultimately betrayed by one of his men, and legend has it he haunts the castle to this day.

• Burg Eltz,

G e r m a n y : Surrounded by the serene Eltz Forest, Burg Eltz has, somewhat incredibly, been owned and cared for by the same family for more than 800 years. Legend suggests it is haunted by Countess Agnes, who the legend states died while defending the castle from an unwanted suitor.

• Chillingham Castle, England: Visitors to Chillingham Castle can visit its torture chamber, which includes a stretching rack, cages, a bed of nails and a spiked chair. A ghost tour of the castle teaches

Did you know?

According to Smithsonian.com, the Halloween tradition of trick-or-treating traces its origins to the Celtic tradition of dressing up as evil spirits at the end of the year. But unlike the trick-ortreaters of today, the Celts did not dress up for fun or in search of candy.

According to Celtic belief, the dead and the living would overlap during the transition from one year to the next.

Celts also believed that demons would roam the earth during this transition period.

So Celts dressed up as evil spirts so the demons they believed were walking the earth would mistake them as one of their own.

But it was not just the Celts who contributed to what Halloween has become today.

Historians believe that trick-or-treating may also be rooted in the medieval prac-

visitors about its extensive history of supposed paranormal activity.

• Larnach Castle, New Zealand: Among the world’s more recently built castles, Larnach Castle was built in the 1880s to serve as the home of mer-

chant and politician William Larnach.

Legend suggests that Larnach’s daughter Kate, for whom he built the castle’s ballroom, has haunted the room since her death from typhoid at age 26. Larnach himself would ultimately commit sui-

cide away from castle grounds.

• Himeji Castle, Japan: Built in 1333, Himeji Castle is featured in various local legends.

Among the most popular involves lost dishes. According to that legend, the character Okiku was

falsely accused of losing dishes that were valuable to the family residing within Himeji Castle.

That accusation would prove the undoing of Okiku, who was killed and thrown into a well, which Okiku haunts to this day.

tice of “souling,” in which poor children would go from doorto-door on All Souls’ Day and ask for food in exchange for prayers for the dead.

Both Celtic traditions and the practice of souling no doubt contributed to modern Halloween traditions, but the Halloween traditions celebrants know today have been practiced for less than 100 years.

THE PAPER

October 11, 2017

Local families touched by Civil War ancestors who fought in the Civil War. That man is James Monroe Case, my great-great-greatgrandfather. James was born on July 13, 1840 in Greene County Indiana.

When James was 18, about the time his father died, his family settled in Onawa, Monona County, Iowa, where subsequently, after the Civil War broke out, he joined the Company One, Fourth Iowa Cavalry.

While enlisted, he participated in the battles of Guntown, Lexington, Mine Creek, Selma, Tupelo, White River, Osage, Lock Creek, Oskaloosa, St. Francis River, and Columbus. During the battle of Selma, James and about 13,500 men attacked the Confederate held town of Selma, Alabama.

Though Selma had superior defenses, there were not enough soldiers there to effectively operate them, and under General James Wilson, James and the Union soldiers were able to take the town. I hope that this is been somewhat interesting to read, and I am thankful for the people who fought in the Civil War for what they believed was just. Thank you to our veterans.

place where Stock and his companions were most unhappy.

Stock was inspired to write a poem: “We are still confined in Helena, Not where noble Buonaparte died, But more of a Hell without the ‘ena’, For the town by its name is belied.”

Stock and his regiment travelled the length of the Mississippi, and in August 1865 Stock was mustered out in New Orleans. He had been ill, and by the time he embarked on a northbound steamer, he was delirious.

As he lay in his cabin, he imagined that people were planning to kill him, so he jumped overboard. Somehow he stayed afloat and

Stockton C. Campbell, or “Stock” as he called himself, was born in 1838, the son of a bookseller in Rush County, Indiana. Growing up in a literary environment explained his choice of career as newspaper editor. At the outbreak of the Civil War he was editor for the Wabash Plain Dealer. In 1862 he enlisted in the 47th Indiana Regiment and for the next three years wrote frequent letters detailing his adventures and misadventures.

Initially his regiment was based in Helena, Arkansas, a

Local families touched by Civil War ...continued from page 29 returning to Rush County a year later.

He died there in 1875, aged 36.

My house was built by a Civil War soldier

By Jim Wehner The house on 202 East Third Street, North Manchester, was originally owned by

Melitus Andrews.

Mr. Andrews never enjoyed the home he so carefully built, as he was killed in the Civil War. More specifically, he died as a P.O.W. in the n o t o r i o u s Confederate prison at Andersonville, Alabama. Conditions there were deplorable, and it is estimated that 30% of its 45,000 prison-

ers died of disease, dysentery, and malnutrition. (Several Northern P.O.W. prisons were almost as bad, with far less excuse, but judgment usually is a right of the victors, and no Northern prison commandants were prosecuted as war criminals, as was the Andersonville commandant, Capt.

Henry Wirz, who

was hanged.)

I have the original abstract of title, and can deduce a lot of the property’s history from it. I recollect that the property has not changed ownership more than 5 or 6 times since 1863.

Many people still refer to it as the Russell Michaels house.

Russel Michaels was there apparently since 1939 for 30 or more years.

Russell Michaels owned the Standard Oil Dealership located at the site of Mr. Dave’s restaurant.

We bought place about 1985.

Brothers in arms

By Jennifer McSpadden

Of all the brothers who served and died in the Civil War there were the few fortunate ones who survived. Two such brothers were Frank and William Morse of Wabash. Frank was an artillery captain in the 14th Indiana Battery.

William was an infantryman in the 89th Indiana Regiment.

The brothers rarely crossed paths, but in 1865 during the battles for Mobile, Alabama, both were involved in the fighting.

William, a prolific letter writer during the war years, mentions his brother in early April, 1865.

“Fort Spanish fell, with considerable artillery, before a charge of our troops

… We are all in the finest of spirits.

Frank rode past here going out to see the fort. He is well, none of the 14th were killed.”

In Memphis the troops were encamped on a former plantation. “I had a good opportunity of seeing the city,” he wrote, “one of those soft smiling days, such as you seldom experience in the North.”

Frank’s letters were also published in local newspapers.

After disastrous losses at Guntown, Mississippi, he r e p o r t e d , “Immediately after the Sturgis disaster at Guntown ... the enemy followed us closely that night and nearly all the next day and I think succeeded in capturing the greater part of our infantry. The 113th, 120th and 108th were almost annihilated as was also our Negro Brigade.

William Holloway was killed, and Ike Jay badly wounded in one or both legs and I think captured, as he was barely able to walk.”

After the war Frank became head cashier at the First National Bank in Wabash and William was assistant cashier.

William tried to make a living as an artist. He is buried in Falls Cemetery, Wabash, next to his first wife.

Frank persevered in his banking career.

He died in 1925 and is buried near his brother.

IDOE announces 2016-17 school accountability grades Majority of Wabash schools maintain previous letter grade

By Emma Rausch and David Fenker news@thepaperofwabash.com

The Indiana Department of Education announced the 2016-2017 accountability grades Wednesday, Oct. 4, and one Wabash county school improved while the majority maintained their score from the previous year.

Of the 12 participating schools, two received A scores, four received B grades and six received Cs. White’s JuniorSenior High School currently has an “appeals pending” status.

Based on the state’s standardized ISTEP testing exam, accountability grades track school improvement. This year, nearly 25 percent of

schools across the state improved one or more letter grades, with the total number of A rated schools increasing by close to 6 percent, and overall 62 percent of schools received an A or B, according to IDOE. “I am encouraged by the results of our current accountability grades as an indication of the great education Indiana students are receiving,” Dr. Jennifer McCormick, state superintendent of public instruction, said. “Our work, however, is not finished.

As a department, we will continue to partner with stakeholders from the state level to the local community to ensure every school is successful and every student is academically prepared for the future.”

While the grades offer indication to a school’s ability, the test that determines the score every few years. The state education department updated the ISTEP

test in 2015 and utilized “Indiana’s new, more rigorous standards and assessments for the first time” in the 2015-2016 ISTEP testing, according to Glenda Ritz, former Indiana superintendent of public instruction.

This is the new format’s second year in implementation with changes expected to take place again next year.

For the 10th consecutive year, St. Bernard Catholic School received an A accountability grade.

“We’re super proud of our students and our staff,” Principal Theresa Carroll told The Paper of Wabash County. “It’s a testament to the teamwork that we have and individualized learning.

We use a blended learning approach and have for many years. So I just think that the continued success stems from working for the individual child and getting the child to see that when they work

hard they can be successful and we also talk about them doing their best for the glory of God.” Carroll agreed that the ISTEP score and accountability grade are a snap shot indication.

“The assessments are something that we do throughout the year and so this is just one more that the children take,” Carroll said. “So they’re success on the test isn’t necessarily our goal. Our goal is their life here and beyond, beyond this Earth.”

In North M a n c h e s t e r, Manchester JuniorSenior High School received an A grade while Manchester Intermediate School received a B and M a n c h e s t e r Elementary School received a C. “They are one indicator,” Mike P e t t i b o n e , M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools, told The News Journal. “We look at

them as one piece of the information that we receive about our schools. I don’t want to say that we dismiss them completely because I don’t think

we should.

“Do we question the validity? I think, with a grain of salt, you question the validity of these tests, and I think there’s a mov-

ing target that I feel sorry for schools having to deal with.”

wish the grade was better, Pettibone added.

“I know that Joe Rodgers and the staff at Manchester Elementary School wish the grade was better than C, but at the same time what you have to understand is that most schools have more than one grade level that have an impact on your scores,” Pettibone said. “Let’s say that you have a grade level that struggles a little bit, you have two more grade levels that maybe can average those out. In a school where you only get to have one grade level, that puts a lot of pressure on those teachers and that grade level.

“The other disadvantage that MES has is that since they only have third grade (taking the ISTEP), there are no growth points.

At MIS, the kids in grades four, five and six, and also grades seven and eight, they use previous years’ scores and then schools get growth points. MES, since they only have third grade, doesn’t have the advantage of gaining extra growth

points, so they’re a little bit at a disadvantage that way.”

MSD of Wabash County schools face the same hurdles with the accountability scores.

Northfield JuniorSenior High School and Southwood Junior-Senior High School both received B grades while Southwood Elementary, Sharp Creek Elementary and Metro North Elementary all received C scores.

“There are many factors in the school grade and when I say that, in the elementary (level), there are really two factors,” Mike Keaffaber, MSD superintendent, told The Paper of Wabash County. “There’s the ISTEP performance and ISTEP growth, and the changing did change last year so this would be the second year for that, but then obviously, there are changes because we’re talking about different groups of students.

“So we’re not comparing apples to apples. When we talk about Metro North for example, Metro North, since it’s configured

(kindergarten through third grade), the performance is based on third grade.

So it’s a totally different set of students for the performance and the growth is actually based on the students that are at Sharp Creek right now. … If you have one class that’s stronger than another class, that can make a difference. So again, you’re not comparing apples to apples. So that was a score that went down a little bit and then of course caused the grade level to go down.”

Both MSD and MCS receive rankings from the Northwest Evaluation Association, which measures student growth.

“We feel like when we look at our NWA scores, which are not part of the school grade, we are seeing better results with that,” Keaffaber said, “and I think part of that is that the students know that … it’s more formative instead of summative and we can act on that a lot quicker.

October. So it’s frustrating when we say that now those teachers don’t have those students any more, but other testing modes that we have do help us out.

“So again, the test is just based on that snap shot, especially for elementary, because elementary has no other measures. It’s just that testing. There’s more going on in the school than just the ISTEP tests of math and English.”

Pettibone noted that MCS Curriculum Director Sue Gnagy is working on a new curriculum that will target “critical content” and “important content” for each grade level tested at the state level to help improve Manchester students’ performance on tests.

The “critical content” refers to material that the schools have been told has a 50 percent chance of being on the ISTEP exams, Pettibone explained.

“To say that we are teaching only to the test is not true,” he added, “but we are wise enough to know what we’re going to be tested on. This is helping us improve our alignment (with the state test).”

Keaffaber said that MSD is setting their sites on improving student learning.

“We continue to look at ways to improve,” he said, later adding, “I want the community to know that we continue to have staff development, professional development to look at ways to better our curriculum and instruction. … It’s one of those things, not just because of the school grade and ISTEP but because we always want to try to do better, we continue to have that professional development to try to do the best that we can for the students that we have.”

At Wabash City Schools, Wabash High School received a B score while Wabash Middle School and O.J. Neighbours Elementary School received C grades.

Attempts to contact City Schools Superintendent Jason Callahan for comment were unsuccessful.
