ROANN – About 40 people were on hand Saturday, Sept. 8, as four former Roann School teachers cut the ribbon and unveiled the school’s center court memorial on the wall of the Roann Town Hall. Teachers Janet Clevenger, Sharon Butcher, Jan Saner and Mike Chenault took turns cutting a red ribbon on the paper covering the memorial. They then pulled down the paper, unveiling the floor to the applause of those present. The crowd began gathering about 30 minutes before the 3 p.m. unveiling ceremony, looking through various class photos from the elementary school years of the school. In a brief ceremony before the unveiling, Roann ClerkTreasurer Bob Ferguson showed a copy of the 1962 Roannual, the yearbook from the last year a graduating class attended the school, which had been donated to the town. “The editor had enough foresight, because it was the last

A feature film is scheduled to be filmed in downtown Wabash and other sites around the county in early October. Skyler Lawson, a Southwood High School graduate and upand-coming movie producer, plans to film the period piece “Whelm” from Oct. 8-Oct. 22. The film is a 1933 Depression era film that’s a gangster film about a small-town family that gets tangled between a legendary gangster and another criminal, Lawson told The Paper of Wabash County. Two brothers who have trouble connecting with one another try to
avenge their father’s being caught in the crossfire of a heist and, in the end, are drawn together. “I grew up here,” Lawson said of his decision to film in Wabash. “My dad’s (Jeff Lawson) a farmer. I grew up helping on the farm, me and my brother. My mom (Lori Lawson) works at Ford Meter Box.” Lawson has four short films to his credit, all of which have been shot in Indiana. Three of the films where filmed in Wabash County. “No one knew,” he said. “It was happening where I grew up.” His latest short film, “Left (continued on page 4)

Converse Library to celebrate 100th anniversary CONVERSE — The Converse Jackson Township Public Library is turning 100, and a grand celebration is in store. The library is hosting a Black Tie Gala
banquet and fundraiser Saturday, Sept. 15, 2018 from 710 p.m. at the Roseburg Event Center, located at 2983 W. 38th St. in Marion to celebrate the libraries heritage. “It’s a pretty big accomplishment,”
Library Director Andy Horner said. “Especially in a small town like Converse. To have any library at all is great. And, to have a wonderful Carnegie Library that’s lasted 100 years, that’s a pretty big accomplishment. We’re
pretty pleased that we’ve been able to do it.” The program will include dinner, a silent auction, music and dancing. “We’re turning 100, and so we want to mark that occasion,” Horner said. “We want to make sure we have a really nice evening to commemorate the event. But, we’re also using it as a fundraiser. We are looking to do a renovation and addition. That’s going to address many different issues.” Horner added that the library is not currently handicap accessible. One of the things officials
are looking to do with the funds from the gala is install an elevator to help the handicapped better access the building. “Special thanks go to our contributing partners, the Library Board and staff, the 100th Anniversary Committee, and all the generous organizations that have donated to the silent auction for all their efforts and support,” Horner said. The Gala will also include a guest speaker. Jane King, the founder and CEO of LilaMax Media LLC, a multi-platform provider of video content on consumer
and business news, will provide remarks. King is a 1986 graduate of Eastern High School and a 1991 graduate of Purdue University with a degree in Communications. She began her television career at WLFI-TV in Lafayette, where she served as an anchor and reporter. During that time, King also taught classes in broadcast journalism at Purdue. She has worked at CNN in New York, as well as for Bloomberg Television. King is seen daily on WISH-TV in Indianapolis and her
reports are heard daily on WWKI 100.5 FM in Kokomo. “Jane is passionate about libraries and is excited to be here to celebrate this historical event,” Horner said. King lives in Manhattan with her husband, fellow Purdue graduate Gene Schafer, and her two children, Max and Lila. Tickets, which cost $50 per person or $350 for a table of eight, are on sale at the library, located at 108 S. Jefferson St. Those seeking more information are asked to call the library at 765-3953344.
Deputy to retire By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department is losing a longtime deputy. Deputy Ron Nordman has submitted a retirement letter from the department, effective Oct. 6, Sheriff Bob Land informed Wabash County Commissioners on Tuesday, Sept. 4. In addition, a jail
officer retired effective Aug. 31, Land also informed Commissioners. “That would put us a total of six down right now, due to academy and medical leave,” Land said. In another jailrelated matter, the population at the Wabash County Jail was 96 as of Tuesday morning, including 10 females what were booked in over the weekend. There are another
45 inmates being held in Miami County, three in Blackford County and six in Elkhart County, the sheriff said. One inmate was being held in Department of Corrections safekeep, and another was awaiting transfer to the DOC on Tuesday, bringing to the total population to 152 inmates. The peak population last week was 99 inmates, with an average population

of 93 inmates. Land also reported to Commissioners that the department is in line to receive a grant to install computers and printers in its vehicles. “That funding will be released in October, so at least that cuts back on some costs we would have to put those incar computers that we had talked about earlier,” he said. “I’ll know more in October when I see the grant.” Commissioners also approved a request to purchase five portable radios at a cost of $13,268.50. The cost includes programming “and everything that we need for those radios,” Land said. “I’ve allowed in next year’s budget for in-car radios and uniform costs,” he said, “but this is one thing I forgot.” Funding for the portable radios will come from the Courthouse Complex Fund. In another matter, commissioners approved a utility permit from F r o n t i e r Communications to board across County Road 180 E to provide service to a nearby home. In addition, County Highway Superintendent John Martin reported 46 miles of county roads have undergone chip and seal.

Beef certification programs planned
Purdue University Extension in cooperation with the Indiana Board of Animal Health, Indiana Beef Council, Indiana Beef Cattle Association, and the beef cattle auction markets located across the state will host a series of 14 face-to-face training and certification programs to assist producers in becoming Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) certified. Light snacks, but no meals, are planned for most locations. Consumer demands and expectations drive the marketplace, and beef is not immune from this fact. In response to consumer demand by food service companies for more beef quality assurance, Tyson (no. 1 beef processor of fed cattle in the U.S.) has adopted the requirement for all suppliers of fed cattle to be BQA certified by Jan. 1, 2019. Tyson does not process cull cows, cull bulls, or any dairy cattle. Therefore, only suppliers of fed cattle are required to become BQA certified at this time if they expect Tyson to be a competitive bidder on their cattle. Additionally, National Beef Packing Co. (no. 4 beef processor) has said they will implement the same requirements as Tyson. After Jan. 1, 2019, Tyson and National Beef buyers will only accept cattle from BQA certified producers. This means that cattle feeders selling direct to either Tyson or National Beef must be BQA certified, and have a copy of their BQA certificate and BQA number on file with their respective processor. Producers selling fed cattle through an auction market that supplies cattle to either Tyson or National Beef will need to have a copy of their BQA certificate and BQA number on file at the auction market. For those producers selling “freezer beef ” processed through an Indiana State Inspected plant, they are not required to be certified at this time, however, becoming BQA certified would assist in explaining how management practices ensure a safe and wholesome beef product. At this time, Cargill (no. 3 beef processor) has said they will
require 90 percent of their beef suppliers to be BQA certified, however, a date for that requirement has not be established. The regional branch of JBS (no. 2 beef processor) servicing the Indiana market has not publically announced a date, but are moving toward requiring BQA certification of “all” producers supplying live cattle to their plants (including cull cows and bulls, as well as dairy) in the future. Aurora Pack, American Foods Group (Green Bay Dressed Beef, no. 15 processor), Creekstone Packing, and Iowa Premium all encourage and support BQA certification, but are not requiring producer BQA certification at this time. Auction markets have two options. The first is to require all fed cattle suppliers be BQA certified to sell in the auction. The second is to announce from the auction block during the sale which cattle are, and which cattle are not sourced from a BQA certified supplier. Regardless of which option is used at an individual auction market, non-BQA certified producers should expect a discount for their cattle as a result of reduced bidding competition in the marketplace. Officials anticipate that there will be a domino and trickledown effect as it pertains to an increased participation of beef processors requiring cattle suppliers to become BQA certified. It is their anticipation that many auction markets will ultimately require all suppliers of fed cattle be BQA certified to avoid marketplace discount for all fed cattle clientele, as well as simplifying BQA verification during the course of the sale. It is also anticipated that feedlots selling cattle to either Tyson or National Beef will begin requiring their feeder calf suppliers (cow-calf or background/stocker operations) to also be BQA certified to maximize animal health, wellbeing, and marketability. Therefore, one should anticipate in the future that cow-calf and background operations selling feeder cattle (weanlings or preconditioned calves will need to become BQA certified. Likewise, cow-calf operations
common sense husbandry techniques can be coupled with accepted scientific knowledge to raise cattle under optimum management and environmental conditions. BQA guidelines are designed to make certain all beef consumers can take pride in what they purchase - and can trust and have confidence in the entire beef industry. BQA programs have evolved to include best practices around good record keeping and protecting herd health, which can result in more profits for producers. When better quality cows leave the farm and reach the market place, the pro-
Before
selling cull cows and cull bulls should assume they will need to become BQA certified in the future. It’s important to note that these are our anticipations and, therefore, are unable to provide dates or times at this point. Officials have been told by Tyson Headquarters that they will accept state faceto-face BQA certification programs, any of the three on-line BQA certification modules (feedlot, stocker, or cow-calf) offered through the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), the dairy FARM certification program, and the Youth Quality Assurance (YQA) certification program for those producers less than 18 years of age. BQA certification is good for a three year period. The Indiana BQA
face-to-face training and certification program includes cowcalf, stocker, and feedlot elements to ensure that “all beef producers” will have the credentials to market animals in the future as more processors incorporate the BQA requirement. Beef Quality Assurance training and certification are free and will be approximately two hours in length. Producers from Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky, and Ohio that market their cattle across state lines can be certified at these face-to-face meetings to meet BQA requirements. Only one person in each operation is required to be certified, but they are responsible to make sure all personnel and employees in their operation follow the BQA standards.
Everyone in the operation that handles and manages fed cattle are, therefore, encouraged to become BQA certified. Beef Quality Assurance is a nationally coordinated, state implemented program that provides systematic information to U.S. beef producers and beef consumers of how
ducer, packer, and consumer all benefit. When better quality beef reaches the supermarket, consumers are more confident in the beef they are buying, and this increases beef consumption. The efforts of BQA across the nation have been instrumental in recent successes that continue to re-build and sustain beef demand. Through BQA programs, producers recognize the economic value of committing to quality beef production at every level - not just at the feedlot or packing plant, but within every segment of the cattle industry.

THE PAPER

Feature film to be produced in Wabash County ...continued from the front page Hand,” is based on the life of George Price, former LaFontaine School principal and World War II veteran. “I went in and zoomed in on a tiny piece of his story that I could tell right away,” Lawson said. “And so, I emptied my bank account to tell the story for a 92-yearold man who deserved it. That was last year.” The film has played in two Academy Award qualifying film festivals during the last two months. “The thing is, I filmed it all here, and no one would ever know it,” Lawson said. “We have some very diverse landscape here in
Wabash.” The film, he said, was well received during a recent festival at the former Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, now called the TCL Chinese Theater. “It played to a soldout audience, and it was received really, really well,” he said. “Everyone just assumed I was from Los Angeles or New York. They find I’m from Indiana, and I still live in Indiana, and they’re like, ‘How the heck do you do that?’ “I think you can make films anywhere, as long as you’re being authentic. I
think, honestly the world is starved for authenticity right now. It was like, pick your poison. I think that was shining through when I was in Hollywood representing my film I was also representing Indiana. I was the only one there from Indiana. “I found out really quickly that I should just write a movie for Wabash in general.” Before doing so, he first contacted the actors who were in “Left Hand” and asked if they would be willing to work in his new film. “I called them and asked them if they would be willing to go on a journey with me
like they did for ‘Left Hand,’” Lawson said. “And they all said yes. Money had nothing to do with it. They just wanted to do it. And so, I decided right there I was going to write a movie for Wabash, and I wrote a Depression-era film.” The film is loosely based on the legends of John Dillinger’s time in the area. “He was in and around the area,” Lawson said, “so those local legends are rich here. Everyone’s got a story. Everyone’s grandpa has a story. So that intrigued me because I’m all about making period pieces. “But also, these

actors are so high quality that they deserve having high caliber parts written for them. But also, there’s the other thing, I could have written the movie for tons of places, but why not write it for my home town?” The film circles around a small-town family that gets tangled between a bank robber and a rival criminal in a small town. “Is it John Dillinger?” Lawson asked rhetorically. “That’s a question mark. That’s a question mark. He went by Jimmy Lawrence while he was here. Maybe it was. Maybe it wasn’t. He wasn’t going to say anything. “So I wrote a movie about that. Part fact. Part fiction. It’s like one of those classic movies that don’t get made anymore, in the place that it actually happened.” Among the sites to be featured in the film, Lawson said, are the Charley Creek Inn. “We have a worldclass establishment in the Charley Creek Inn right here in our town,” he said. “It’s like stepping back in time. Why would I not feature that? “A lot of our facades in our town are from that era. You talk to my grandparents, or
you talk to my wife’s grandparents, and everyone talks about that era, going downtown to the Eagles Theater. We’re revitalizing a ton of our downtown, and they’ve done an incredible job of bringing tourism here and taking care and seeing the value of what we have. “Meanwhile, while I’m out trying to make a film career, every time I come back there’s more and more things going on. Why would I take my business to some place that gets films all the time? Why not feature where I grew up and bring value to the table. I think somewhere down the line, and my film career goes to where it may, it’s only going to go up in value with that first movie being shot here. And I’ll shoot more movies here, for sure. “So I wanted to make sure it was a love letter to where I grew up.” Lawson said he is looking for some help from area residents, especially when it comes to props. While he has many props, he’s always on the lookout for more, such as a bed from the 1930s and more. He’s also looking for period clothes. “If people have a car that pre-dates 1933, I’ll put it in the
film. I’ll put it on the street,” he said. He’s also looking for groups or organizations to help feed the cast and crew while here, roughly 20 people. The meals, he said, don’t have to be “fivestar dinners. We’ve all gone to pitch-ins before.” “I’ll put anyone’s name in the credits,” he said. “I’ll give you tickets to the premiere if I do it in Indianapolis, or here. It really would be amazing if, once the Eagles gets done, we have a nice event there, because … it is a love letter to Wabash. “I think Hollywood has a reputation that they like to grandstand everyone. And they do. That’s how it is. I’m not that. I’m from here and I’m not different. That’s why, when I went to Hollywood I stood out. I was bringing the values of this town with me and it did stand out.” Anyone interested in helping Lawson with props or food, contact Bev Vanderpool, administrative assistant at Wabash City Hall, 260563-4171. “I want the town to feel ownership, too,” Lawson said. “I’m making it happen, but it doesn’t happen without the town.”
Meeting to look at conservation programs By The Paper staff The Natural R e s o u r c e s Conservation Service (NRCS) is preparing its Fiscal Year 2019 Farm Bill conservation programs. Part of this preparation is convening Local Working Groups to set local priorities. The Local Working Group provides recommendations to the District Conservationist and State Conservationist on local natural resource priorities and criteria for conservation activities and programs. Under the Farm Bill the Local Working Groups remain a subcommittee of the State Technical Committee, a diverse group of conservation partners that
make recommendations on conservation activities and programs to the State Conservationist. The Local Working Groups’ role is to provide similar recommendations and advice as the State Technical Committee, but with a focus on the resource priorities of the local community. In preparation for Fiscal Year 2019 Farm Bill Programs, the Wabash County Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCD) will convene a local Working Group meeting to prioritize local resource concerns and provide feedback to the Indiana State Technical Committee on Tuesday, Sept. 18 at 6:30 p.m. at the USDA Service Center, 599 Bryan Ave., Wabash.

Work stopped on Bedford Building the site without the need of permits from either the city or state. That work included such things as demolition, façade restoration and widow restoration. “We got to the point of construction
where we couldn’t go any further without state and city permits,” he told The Paper of Wabash County. The state permits, he said, need to clear “about four or five layers” of offices.
Those include the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and more. Approval could take 15 or 20 days, he said,
though he has heard of some approvals taking as long as 120 days. While crews await the permits, no structural work on the building can take place. However, they can continue to work
on interior demolition and clean up. The delay, Hiday said, shouldn’t affect plans to have the building in a “warm, white box” stage sometime in 2019. He said that is a construction term mean-
Rain causes problems at Covered Bridge Festival ...continued from the front page washout. We didn’t have storms. The sun was shining some place. I was amazed at the people that did come even with the rain.” Several events, including the Sounds of Summer and Time Travelers concerts, were moved inside and took place in the Community Building on Saturday night. “It was packed in the Community Building Saturday night.” Harman said. “The Sounds of Summer was a big hit. We had beach balls bouncing around over the people.” The Karaoke contest Friday was moved into Town Hall, and the room was full, Harman said.
The Euchre tournament lasted until after 9 p.m. Saturday night. The Lions Club had ice cream to pass out after the parade, but after the parade was canceled, festival organizers opted to pass out the treats to concer tgoers Saturday. Kids who attended the magic show, which was moved inside to the basement of the library, also got to indulge in the leftover ice cream. “A couple had driven down from Chicago to attend that concert, and also a couple from Ohio,” Harman said. “The guy with the Volkswagen decorated with palm trees, he came anyway even though there was no
parade, and we parked his car right out in the center of town. The Sounds of Summer took a picture with the car and they wanted to put that on their Facebook page, so I thought that was pretty cool.” The owner of the Volkswagen, Phil Pion of Fort Wayne, won the festival’s Hawaiian t-shirt contest, as well. Festival organizers let vendors go home early instead of staying all the way through Sunday. “Some of them said they didn’t have very good sales, but others said they did pretty well,” Harman said. “So I guess it depends on what people were looking for. Some of our vendors didn’t
come because of the weather so the streets looked a little bare. But, we still had fun.” The carnival rides by Jessup and Beer had little success. They told festival organizers that this is the first time in 24 years at the Covered Bridge Festival that it’s been rained out for three days in a row. “We’ve had some storms maybe once or twice, but it blows over and that’s it,” Harman said. “At least it was a steady rain and not a washout.” Thursday night The Bulldogs got to perform their musical stylings outside, but Harman spent most of Saturday morning on the phone and computer cancelling
City to begin spraying for mosquitoes Sept. 11 By The Paper staff
Crews from the Wabash Street Department will begin their yearly spraying for mosquitoes to help control the pest population in the city. Spraying is scheduled to begin Tuesday, Sept. 11. The department will spray different sections of the city on a weekly basis, according to Street Superintendent Scott Richardson. All spraying will be done on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. On Tuesdays the crew will spray the south side of Wabash from Canal Street south. On Wednesday, it will spray north of Canal Street and west of Miami Street. On Thursday, it
will cover the remainder of the city, north of Canal Street and east of Miami Street. Spraying depends on the weather, Richardson said. If it is. Raining or winds
are more than 10 miles per hour, the department will not spray. The department will also be trapping mosquitoes and sending them off to be tested for viruses.
Residents who do not want their area sprayed can call the Street Department at 260-563-3611. The resident will be put on a do not spray list and the entire block will not be sprayed.

Undeterred, she is already looking forward to next year. “I’m already looking for a theme. That started (Monday) morning,” Harman said. “We kind of have a theme for next year. We wanted to get started early. We’ll see where it goes from there. You start over again. We were thankful for the cool down, we just wish the rain would have left us with one more day. It would have been nice to have the parade.”

But what the interior of the building will look like all depends on the wants and needs of the future tenant. “If a restaurant wanted to locate in there, it would take considerably more work getting it ready than if it were an office,” he said.
Forza Development, a Zionsville real estate development firm, and Wabash Marketplace Inc. announced a partnership to restore the Bedford Building earlier this summer. WMI acquired the building two years ago and has been working to raise funds to refurbish it. The building was built in 1901.

And then it has every single (class).” School annuals are not a permanent record, Ferguson noted. So, he contacted the officials at the Indiana Archives and
R e c o r d s Administration and learned that, as clerk, he could make it a permanent record. He then read a proclamation making it a permanent record and the book will be kept in the town’s files, available for viewing by the public. Ferguson then explained how Craig Barker removed the floor from the old gymnasium and Furniture
Medic of Mentone refurbished the floor and put it back together piece by piece, much like a jigsaw puzzle. The flooring was then hung on the wall supported by brackets made by Nomanco Trailer. He then called the former Roann teachers to the front to participate in the unveiling. “You just can’t beat the small town school,” Chenault said. “You

People would come in and say, ‘If my kids get in trouble you straighten them out.’” Following the ribbon cutting, Ferguson presented the teachers keychains made from pieces of the floor. When Barker cut the flooring out, he added about a foot all around so the wood could be tested to see what was the best way to clean it. The keychains were made from pieces of the extra wood. All the teachers said they were honored to be able to participate in the unveiling, and seeing the center court brought back good memories. “I was proud of everything that happened in that school,” Chenault said. Butcher added, “They did such a good job (restoring the floor).” Clevenger said getting a piece of the flooring was special. “As an elementary school student, my dad graduated from Roann so he brought me to a lot of Roann basketball games,” she said, “so I saw a lot of cheerleaders out there.

Riders brave weather for Dam to Dam ride By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com
Riders from 16 states and one foreign country braved strong winds, cool temperatures and a rainy morning to participate in the ninth annual Dam to Dam Century Ride. Bike enthusiasts began leaving the Wabash County YMCA shortly before 8 a.m., destined to ride either 15, 30, 50, 62, 80 or 104 miles around Wabash County. There were 565 riders registered for the event, though not all participated. Some opted out because of the weather conditions. “Even though it’s raining it doesn’t deter people from enjoying or push themselves to do something different,� Christine Flohr, Visit Wabash County Director of Tourism said. “It’s easy to a
full century ride when its sunny and there’s no wind. But when you add elements like rain, a hurricane blowing wind this way, and it challenges cyclists to do something and it pushes them to the next level.� This is the first time that weather has really been a challenge during the ride’s nine years. “We had to pay attention to what are the roads like,� Flohr said, discussing what steps organizers had to take to ensure rider safety. “Some of the low-lying roads, are they going to be flooded? Do we need to reroute? Is it going to push natural debris on the roadway? “We also had to make sure that our markings and our directions were extra well done this year. Other than that, because we do such a great job of spray painting our routes

Many blamed the wind for prompting them to make the change, one noting that riding the 62 mile route may have been the equivalent of riding 75 miles because of having to fight winds that reportedly had gusts of up to 25 mph. Before and after the event, riders were able to have breakfast
Men’s store to open in downtown Wabash By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com
Anthony Leigh, a men’s clothing store, will be opening soon in downtown Wabash, officials from the company and Wabash Marketplace Inc. announced on Thursday, Sept. 6. “ B u s i n e s s Recruitment to downtown Wabash is a key part of Wabash Marketplace, Inc.’s initiatives,� WMI Project Coordinator Tyler Karst said. “The moment we heard of Anthony Leigh, we reached out to owners Coltyn Miller and Ryan Lynch with an invitation to tour our downtown.� From the first visit, Miller and Lynch were sold on downtown Wabash. “We are thankful Tyler reached out to us,� Miller said. “We sensed a great community in downtown Wabash and immediately knew we wanted to expand here in addition to our current locations in Auburn and Angola.� Miller said Karst visited the store in Angola and initiated the conversation about expanding in Wabash. “We then discussed about touring Wabash and seeing what the potential is about expanding into the community,� Miller told The Paper of
Wabash County. “After touring the town, we decided this was a community we would like to dive into. “We value the small communities where the patrons are welcomed in every capacity and the town is over the top supporting their local establishments. This was everything Wabash was about and more. We are excited to dive into the community and develop key relationships and help build the long lasting community.� The firm’s other two stores have been open since May. Opening in MidOctober, Anthony Leigh will be located at 79 W. Market St., next to Modoc’s Market, the current location of Black Squirrel Toy Co. Items carried will be casual business attire and casual clothing; footwear, blazers, polos, jeans, graphic tees, button downs, socks, and accessories. “The store will be more of a business casual presentation,� Miller said. “We do have several brands that we carry that offer a relaxed casual. We truly embrace the changes in the professional attire over the years and we want to offer clothing relative to each individual shopping. We do have some brands that are more upscale and formal, however, these full suit outfits will not be

something we focus on.� Among the brands the store offers are 7 Diamonds, Bills Kahkis, Vineyard Vines, Flag and Anthem, Sperry, Nike and several others. “We are working on our own private line that will be released in the next year or so,� Miller added. “The goal of the stores is to place them in unique small areas to help build a sense of community in each city they are in,� Lynch said. “We are both actively involved in our communities so never feel a burden to reach out for volunteer opportunities. The store owners we have already met have been extremely welcoming, and we are so excited to join in the continued growth of Downtown Wabash.� The store will employee two part-time employees. Hours will be 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Tourism is in an upwards trend in Wabash County, and the new men’s store is expected to help with that. “Visit Wabash County is excited to welcome Anthony Leigh to downtown Wabash that will not only provide a trendy, affordable option for locals as well as visitors, but will also have the opportunity to capture the attention of an
untapped market in our community; the millennials,� said Whitney Millspaugh, Visit Wabash County marketing manager. “Together with Wabash Marketplace, we hope to provide support and assistance for Coltyn and Ryan in any way possible.�

Presbyterian School going to all-day format By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com
W a b a s h Presbyterian Church Pastor Jonathan Cornell recently announced that the Church’s school, the Presbyterian School, will begin offering an all-day option for parents of local children. Two years ago, the board of the Presbyterian Preschool realized that to continue to serve the families of Wabash well, it would need to change. Having served the community for over five decades is important, but resting on its laurels would not help it meet the shifting needs of an emerging community. Beginning with a full curriculum review – complete with a new vision and new name – the Presbyterian school was reborn. As a participant in a network of early childhood educators and programs, it became increasingly apparent to Cornell and the Board that there was a premium on high-quality, fullday early childhood opportunities in Wabash.
“And to be a community that continues to promote growth in all sectors,” Cornell said, “the Presbyterian School needed to adapt to meet community needs. They needed to go fullday.” Making the transition from half- to full-day meant the hiring of a new fulltime Director of Preschool. Cornell also recently announced that Abby Atkins would assume Directory duties. Atkins most recently taught at Little Friends preschool. “I was particularly intrigued by their desire to implement a play-based program that drew from the wisdom of the Montessori and Waldorf models of early childhood education,” Atkins said. “I believe the very best thing we can offer the children of Wabash is the chance to learn and explore while recognizing that guided play is the best venue for this to happen.” Cornell said the plan is to implement the full-day schedule right away.
“Our goal is to officially make the transition as early as Oct. 1,” Cornell said. “(Abby) will help us to achieve Paths to Quailty State Standards, eventually making it possible for us to be a state voucher-eligible program. We plan to remove every possible obstacle for working families in Wabash who would like to send their children to a small, faith-based early childhood center, and also need fullday care.” Families that would like to learn more about the Presbyterian School or to enroll their children in its fullday center can do so by contacting the church office at 260563-8881 and speaking with Atkins or office manager Jessica Broyles. Information regarding cost, availabilities and schedules can also be found on the church’s website, www.wabashpresbyterian.com in the coming days.

Founder’s Day plans taking shape
Wabash’s newest festival and parade is nearing and the committee has been hard at work putting the final touches on this anticipated event. Wabash Founder’s Day Festival and Parade will be held in downtown Wabash on Saturday, Sept. 15, with the parade beginning at 10 a.m. and festival vendors and attractions lasting until 4 p.m. There are currently more than 70 parade entries and 30 vendors, with more applications coming in daily. The committee is asking anyone who is planning to be involved to complete and return their paperwork as soon as possible. Parade and Vendor applications can be found at w w w. w ab a s h m u s e um.org/foundersday or picked up at the Wabash County Historical Museum or Wabash City Hall. The parade entry fee has been waived for 2018 and entries need to be received no later Friday, Sept. 7th. “What started as a simple idea has
grown into an amazing event that will offer something for spectators of all ages,” said Maria Smyth, owner of Eclectic Shoppe. To kick off the day, a parade will run the route of the old Canal Days parade beginning on Canal Street at Carroll Street then proceeding to Paradise Spring and returning west on Market Street to the Honeywell Center. Those wishing to enjoy the parade are welcome to sit anywhere along this route. The announcer stand and judging will occur in front of the Wabash County Historical Museum. “We look forward to the creativity of Wabash County’s businesses, organization and community members to enter a variety of floats, vehicles, tractors, and other entries that represent our great community,” said Bev Vanderpool, Assistant to Mayor Long. Beyond the parade, the festival will include a variety of activities for all ages.
Vendors will be set up on Miami Street between Market and Canal Street, on the sidewalks throughout downtown, and at Paradise Spring Historical Park. In addition, many downtown businesses will be offering sales, including great sidewalk sale specials. The committee is still recruiting vendors that would be interested in being a part of the event, including area food trucks, businesses, or service clubs. There is a minimal vendor fee and the application can be found online at w w w. w ab a s h m u s e um.org/foundersday. Family activities, including a touch-atruck event, will be held in the west parking lot of the Wabash County Historical Museum. A full line up of living history portrayers and educational programming is scheduled for Paradise Spring Historic Park. Both the Dr. James Ford Historic Home and the Wabash County Historical Museum will also be offering
free admission during the event. “The committee wants to ensure this is an event the entire family can enjoy,” said Mitch Figert, President and CEO of the Wabash County Historical Museum. “Many of us on the committee remember enjoying Canal Days with our families and we want to create that same feel through Founder’s Day.” As an additional partner this year, the Wabash County Solid Waste Management District is sponsoring a recycling program for the festival. Recycling bins will be placed with trash containers along the parade route and in Paradise Spring Park. Jen Rankin, Executive Director of Wabash County Solid Waste Management District shared, “We are excited to provide this service to ensure for a great event. Please be certain to only place plastic and glass bottles, as well as aluminum cans in the recycling bins. Remember, dirty napkins and paper plates
are not recyclable.” To learn more information on how to register or to get information on volunteering for the event call Wabash City Hall at 260-563-4171 or email re c e p t i o n i s t @ c i t y ofwabash.com. Information is also available online by visiting www.wabashmuseum.org/foundersday.

Wabash City Schools’ budget, which will be put under the microscope by the Wabash City Council and School Board in the coming weeks, will have a much different structure to it this time around due to state mandates. Chief Business Officer Matt Stone laid out the changes and what they mean at the Tuesday, Sept. 4 school board meeting. The General Fund is no more. Additionally, there is no more Capital Projects Fund, Transportation Fund or Bus Replacement Fund. Capital Projects, Bus Replacement and Transportation, along with some of what used to be in the General Fund will now be in what’s called the Operations Fund. About 80 percent of what used to be the General Fund will now make up the Education Fund. The board passed resolutions establishing the funds as of Jan. 1, 2019, transferring the General Fund balance, which Tuesday stood at $1.7 million, to the Education Fund, and the Capital Projects, Bus Replacement and Transportation balances to the Operations Fund. “It’s going to give us some flexibility,” Stone said, “because if we had extra money in Transportation or Bus Replacement we could use that for Capital Projects if we needed to. But, it’s also going to cause a lot of accounting work as we go along because we’ll be able to transfer with votes from the board with one fund to the other. So, there will probably be more movement than there used to be. It gives us some more flexibility, so in the long run I think it’ll help us.” The board also Tuesday: — Approved the request to advertise the 2019 Bus Replacement Plan and 2019 CPF plan. — Approved the recommendation to promote Samantha Harshman to Transportation Director with an hour rate of $18.00. — Approved a recommendation to adopt a policy for credit cards. — Approved a recommendation to adopt the policy on transfer tuition for visiting students. — Approved a recommendation to adopt the policy on mileage reimbursement. — Approved Amy

Sheriff’s Department looks to up life insurance policy By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com
The Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department’s pension policy may soon include double its current amount of life and accidental death insurance. In a brief meeting Monday, Sept. 10, the Wabash County Commissioners approved a request from Sheriff Bob Land to ask the county council to increase his department’s life insurance policy. “In 2012, I put in an
insurance policy – life insurance and accidental death policy – in our pension,” Land said. “We just completed our annual meeting on our pension, along with McCreedy and Kean and First Merchants. They suggested that we upped it from $25,000 to $50,000. “Currently, on the life insurance … the county pays about $1,200 per active member. Going from [$25,000 to $50,000], it will probably double.” “Would that be a separate policy?” commis-
sioner Scott Givens asked. Land said that the original, 2012 plan was an amendment to the department’s pension plan. The commissioners had no problem with Land bringing the matter before the county council later this month. Other news from the meeting included approval of a utility permit for Frontier to install service to a residence in the 12000 North block of County Road 300 West, and
Lundquist
Land’s weekly jail report. Land said that the county jail had 93 inmates, with an additional 42 being held in Miami County, two in Blackford County and seven in Elkhart County, with one still in Department of Corrections safe keep. He also noted that Blackford County’s facility is currently being remodeled, and that WCSD will not be able to utilize their space during construction.

He enjoyed talking with folks in their homes, but particularly in the congregations with his spiritual family. He loved public speaking and gave many Bible discourses. He enjoyed instructing and counseling other congregation members in our meetings as to their public speaking as well. His volunteer ministry took him, with his parents, to Clearfield, Pa.; Peru; Kemp, Texas; Ecuador, South America; South Fulton, Ky.; East Prairie, Mo.; Greensburg; and Wabash. He had many dear spiritual brothers and sisters in each of these locations. Many remember him as the helpful, smiley young man who loved Jehovah’s creation, the woods, flowers, his honeybees, the library, books, the Bible and book learning. He developed an amazing pool of knowledge. Alan has one sister, Dawn Holman, who with her husband, Carl Michael Holman, lives in Kokomo. Alan made a good name for himself with his fellow man. But more importantly, with his God, Jehovah (Ecclesiastes 7:1). His family and his dear spiritual family look forward to seeing him soon in a resurrection on a cleansed earth (Psalm 37:10, 11, 29) where he will no longer suffer the ill effects of disease (Isaiah 33:24). Alan strove hard to apply God’s counsel at 1 Timothy 6:17-19. We are confident he has a firm hold on the real life. Alan, for the present, you will be sorely missed.

WHS class celebrates 50th reunion July 12 Article provided
Class members of Wabash High School’s Class of 1968 gathered with friends and family to remem-
ber their June 4, 1968, graduation from WHS. The class graduated 182 students. Many people began informally gathering with friends on
Thursday, July 12. Class member Dr. Dennis Dickos hosted a social hour and dinner at the Honeywell House on Friday, July 13, for approximately 50 classmates and guests. Three parents of classmates were able to attend: Mrs. Jean Leakey, mother of Marty and Mark Leakey; George Dingledy, father of John Dingledy; and Mrs. Peggy McCallen Grossnickle. Saturday, July 14, the group informally met for breakfast and lunch and visited many local sites. Classmates gathered at Wabash High School for a tour of the facility and a group picture. The class made a presentation to WHS Assistant Principal Jeff Galley before pictures. The Class of 1968 donated $3,050 to be used for new benches, pavers and appropriate landscaping for the WHS entry. The evening culminated with a social hour and dinner at the Honeywell Center. The event was attended by approximately 55 classmates and guests. During dinner a video of old pictures was shown that drew laughs and tears.

Random thoughts and ramblings By Bill Barrows
I was channel surfing different sporting events as I am apt to do at least a time or two each week. Here are some of the thoughts I have going on in my steel trap of a brain: With the announcement that Furniture Row Racing will be dissolving after this season, I’m guessing that driver Martin Truex, Jr. ends up with an even better ride next season with Fenway-Roush, H e n d r i c k Motorsports or Joe Gibbs Racing. I think I worried a bit too much about Dustin Pedroia not
BILL BARROWS being at second base for the Boston Red Sox this season. Brock Holt, Ian Kinsler and Brandon Phillips are holding down the position quite well. I think Frank Reich is very underrated by the NFL media. He is
the perfect coach at the right time for the Colts. For a team predicted to win two games by the pundits, don’t be surprised if they win 5 or 6. And speaking about the Colts, after Pat McAfee revealed why he walked away from the NFL, now we know why the culture in the Colts locker room became so tainted that the team’s on the field performance suffered. Then the off the field incidents became more regular and the entire thing was a distraction. Good thing Jim Irsay finally fired the GM and replaced him with someone who was about the organi-
zation and not someone who was all about power. I think the September baseball pennant races are going to provide many thrills, twists and a couple of surprises. There will be a team that gets in and upstages a favorite. No one is looking forward to playing the Oakland A’s right now. Does anybody remember when the Patriots and the Jets were horrible? The Jets still are. Maybe the “Darnold Experiment” will change that. Could he be the next Tom Brady? Or at least Joe Namath? Stay tuned.
Try helping, not criticizing
Dear Editor: I recently read the latest in what appears to be an endless stream of criticism directed at Mayor Long and others engaged in working to advance Wabash. The latest tirade was focused on those working to attract some Direct Foreign Investment from Asia. The person of whom I speak seems to be a regular contributor to The Paper of Wabash as his letters to the editor seem to be printed with some frequency. I moved to Wabash in 2006 and it seems that this person always has something negative to say about every effort to focus Wabash on the 21st Century. Many people have contributed to what is considered a success story around the entire state. Yet, this person seems adept at seeking out something that he can object to. I haven’t any issue with this person expressing his thoughts. Quite the contrary I respect his right to do so and I personally attempt to learn from every criticism. However, I would add that I have not witnessed any positive contribution that this person has made since my arrival. Perhaps I
was too engaged in actually working for the benefit of my community to have taken time to notice whatever contributions he may have made. If that be the case, then I apologize. But unless he can cite some action or activity in which he has engaged to help move this community forward I would encourage him to please stop. His constant criticism is annoying especially as he seems determined to bring back the glory days of 1970. I would respectfully point out that that time and that generation is over. It is time to permit our children and grandchildren to redevelop Wabash into the kind of community in which they, and their friends want to live.
To do otherwise is detrimental to every homeowner, every person counting on equity in his home to help fund retirement at risk. It is about supply and demand. When there is a limited demand the price decreases and the equity vanish. Please sir, do us all a favor and stop trying to discourage those who are actually contributing. — Bill Konyha, Wabash
I think both Indiana and Purdue football teams will both be relevant in the Big Ten this season. The Old Oaken Bucket Game will get one in a bowl game. The other will already be bowl eligible. People of a certain
age can remember when the Dolphins and Browns were perennial NFL playoff factors. Each should be better this goaround, but probably not good enough to make the postseason as yet. And finally ... the
Fighting Irish of Notre Dame are favored in every game they are scheduled to play this season. If they win them all, they still will not be the No.1 seed in the playoffs.

Converse woman killed in crash By The Paper staff A Converse woman was killed and three others were injured in a two-vehicle accident Tuesday, Sept. 4, in Grant County. According to the Indiana State Police, a 2007 Chevrolet Uplander driven by Ivy R. Curtis, 43, Converse, was eastbound on Grant County Road 100 N and was approaching a stop sign at the
intersection of State Road 13. The Chevrolet failed to stop at the stop sign and pulled onto State Road 13, into the path of a southbound 2018 GMC Yukon driven by Tonya L. Hedrick, 45, Somerset. The GMC struck the Chevrolet in the driver’s side. Curtis was pronounced dead at the scene from injuries sustained in the crash.
Two children in Curtis’ vehicle, ages 5 and 11, were transported via ambulance to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Hedrick also was transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The crash is still under investigation, but, ISP officials said, at this time neither the use of alcohol nor narcotics is suspected as having contributed to the crash.

End of an Era for Local 626 General Tire Retirees disbands Article provided
The General Tire Retirees has disbanded. The group was composed up of retirees from General Tire and Rubber Co., GenCorp and the many other names the plant had until it closed. “We were the United Rubber Workers Local 626 until 1996 when we were forced to join the United Steel Workers,” member Annalee Benedict said. “That led to the
fate for all the plant and the retirees.” The union hall, which the members built, was sold and the retiree group was told it had find another place to hold their meetings. “Our retirees were all getting to the age, it was hard for some to get out and attend our monthly meetings,” Benedict said. “We had lost so many of our members who had passed away, our group was getting very small, so the members voted to donate our money that will stay in Wabash County.” Organizations benefiting from the retirees’ funds were

General Tire retirees attending the group’s last meetings were Naomi Strickler (left side, from front), Annalee Benedict, Ervin Hahn, Rosie Hahn, Louise Friermood (right side), Arlene Gressley, Jane Long, Bob Long and Clifford Hunt. Photo provided the Wabash County Cancer Society, 85 Hope, Senior Center for North Manchester, the Dallas L. Winchester Senior Center in Wabash and the Wabash County
Animal Shelter. “We all knew the time had come to close,” Benedict said. “We all enjoyed our time together, but all with health problems, we knew it was time
to say good-bye to each and every one who ever worked at the plant, and a big thank you to the faithful, dedicated members who stayed until the end.”

Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service.
