WRT’s first phase has $4.8M cost

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The first phase of the Wabash River Trail – from Lagro to Wabash – could cost an estimated $4.8 million.

That is the figure cited in the WRT committee’s application for more than $960,000 from the Northeast Indiana Regional Development Authority’s Road to One Million program. The Paper of Wabash County obtained a copy of the 424-page application, as well as a 10-page updated report submitted to the RDA in February.

The funds — $960,236 in all — would come from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation’s Regional Cities Initiative Fund. The RDA received $42 million from the IEDC last year to be used “to

transform their regions into nationally-recognized destinations to live, work and play,” according to the IEDC website.

The RDA was to meet in Wabash on Tuesday afternoon, April 12. It could rule on the WRT request, as well as a number of other funding requests it received in February, including a request from the Honeywell Foundation for $996,567 for the Historic Eagles Theatre renovation project.

The board took no action on the requests at it March meeting. Michael Galbraith, director of the Road to One Million project for the RDA, told The Paper at that time that the RDA received requests for more than the $42 million it received, and officials were taking additional time to determine how to best disperse the funds.

First Phase plans The Lagro to Wabash phase of the trail is divided into two parts, trail developer Dawn Kroh of Green 3, Indianapolis, told The Paper in recent weeks.

The RDA application, which required plans for the project seeking to be funded, details what the two parts of the plan entail.

According to the application, “Phase 1 of the WRT begins in Lagro and follows the north bank of the river to Paradise Spring Park in Wabash.”

“In Lagro the trail runs along the alignment of the old canal towpath and once outside the town limits follows the north bank of the river extending to connect with Paradise Spring six miles to the east where the trail connects with the Wabash

County planners lift WRT stop work order

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A stop work order issued to the Wabash River Trail committee will not be lifted until later this month.

The Wabash County Plan Commission met Thursday night and agreed to lift the ban. The ban was issued March 20 after it was determined the group worked on the project in a flood plain without receiving the proper permits from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.

The DNR issued the permit on Monday, April 3. However, under DNR regulations, the public has 18 days to appeal the decision.

Because of the appeals period, the Plan Commission agreed to lift the ban, but only after the appeal period is through.

White’s initiative prepares youth for life after graduation

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A program at White’s Family and Residential Services is helping to prepare the facility’s students for life after high school.

Called “Growing Teens for Life,” the program is one of the few of its kind in the State of Indiana.

“The history goes back about three years or so,” White’s CEO Dee Gibson said. “We began working with a lot of older teens … and we realized we had 140 teens whose average age was 16- to 18years of age.

“It just kept coming up over and over and over again that these older teens who were getting ready to graduate from high school, wanting their independence, but they had little or no support from home. These kids were leaving and going into the adult world, but they had limited support. They were so poorly prepared to live independently on their own.”

Many teens are in the same situation, regardless of their family circumstances, he noted.

“Just because they graduate from high school doesn’t mean they’re ready to live on their own,” Gibson said. “Certainly they have a lot of mentoring, a lot of guidance, a lot of support.

“But you take that to our kids here and it’s compounded more because they’ve got tough backgrounds to boot.” (continued on page 6)

The Wabash Presbyterian Church will host a community-open Good Friday service on April 14.

Presented by the Wabash Area Ministerial Association (WAMA), local pastors will help the community reflect and remember the crucifixion of Jesus Christ during the 40-minute worship service, “Stations of the Cross: Walking with Christ.” “(The service) is to reflect upon the sacrifice that Christ made on the cross,” WAMA President Tom Curry said. “That’s key to take time to reflect upon that and to do so in a setting where we’re with Christians from other churches is a huge plus. I think it cultivates the kind of spirit that we should be about.”

“It’s powerful to share that moment with members of the community, some you know and others you don’t,” Presbyterian Pastor Jonathan Cornell added.

The service welcomes all Christians and those curious of the Christian faith, and was intentionally prepared to bring the community together, according to Curry.

No matter the affiliation, “we all agree upon the importance of what happened,” Cornell (continued on page 7)

Brodt farm honored at Statehouse ceremony

By The Paper staff

State Rep. Dave Wolkins (R-Warsaw) and State Sen. Andy Zay (R-Huntington) on honored a locally owned family farm for being in operation for more than 100 years.

The Orville and Phyllis Brodt farm, located in Wabash County, was recognized at the Statehouse with a Hoosier Homestead award for 100 years of family farm owner-

ship.

In operation since 1879, the Orville and Phyllis Brodt farm received the centennial award.

“By contributing more than $31 billion in goods and services, Indiana’s agriculture industry is an important economic driver,” Wolkins said.

“Owning a farm for more than a century is a significant milestone, and the Orville and Phyllis Brodt farm is truly worthy of this recognition.”

“Century-old family

operations aren’t quite as common in today’s world, which is why these Homestead awards are so special,” Zay said. “Honoring these family farms, like the Orville and Phyllis Brodt farm, is a way for Indiana to thank these Hoosiers for their devotion to the agriculture industry.

Congratulations, and keep up the good work!”

Also in attendance at the ceremony, which saw 39 families in total honored, were

Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch and Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) Director Ted McKinney. presented 39 families with a Hoosier Homestead Award in recognition of their commitment to Indiana agriculture.

“Agriculture contributes $31 billion to our state’s economy, and it’s because of the hard work, dedication and innovation of Indiana’s farming families,” Crouch said. “I want to con-

gratulate them on earning the Hoosier Homestead Award and for their commitment to continuing Indiana’s legacy as an agricultural leader.”

To be named a Hoosier Homestead, farms must be owned by the same family for more than 100 consecutive years, and consist of more than 20 acres or produce more than $1000 of agricultural products per year. Based on the number of years, farms were eligible to receive the

Centennial Award for 100 years of ownership, the Sesquicentennial Award for 150 years of ownership and the Bicentennial Award for 200 years of ownership. Notably, the Bicentennial Award was presented to one family during F r i d a y ’ s ceremony.Since the program’s inception in 1976, more than 5,000 families have received the Hoosier Homestead Award.

“Generation after generation of Indiana’s farming families have dedicated their lives to feeding their neighbors, the state and the world,” McKinney said. “They have contributed so much to our state’s legacy, both economically and socially, and are the engine that drives our industry forward.

It was an honor to recognize all of these great families at the Statehouse

An (sic) trailside overlook will allow trail users to view the preserved walls of the historic canal lock.”

Also planned in Lagro will be a public plaza and uni-sex restrooms across from a boat ramp just east of State Road 524.

“The property across from the town plaza and adjacent to the Lagro ice cream shop will be converted into a wide, pedestrian and bike-friendly public gathering space,” the application noted. “The exist-

ing boat launch just west of the ice cream shop will be upgraded and picnic grounds with a large public ring will be created overlooking the launch and the river.”

Phase 1A of the project, according to Kroh, involves the work in Lagro. Phase 1B is the stretch from Lagro, west to Wabash.

“Phase 1A of the trail extends west from the centre of Lagro and the town plaza trailhead following the former alignment of Basin Street to a spur trail leading to a connection with the Lagro Town Hall and community baseball diamonds, and a new trailhead,” according to the application. “The mainline trail extends to a point of ending along the Basin Street alignment creating a stretch of trail in Phase 1A approximately one mile in length.

“Work on Phase 1B will begin in Spring 2017 with a corridor clean-up and removal of exotic invasive species and trash from the route. This will be followed by earthwork and preparation of the trail base throughout the summer, and finally trail paving will begin in the fall of 2017. All work on Phase 1B is scheduled to be complete by Summer 2018.”

has a price tag of $1.62 million, while the cost of 1B is estimated at $3.27 million.

The cost estimates, the application notes, “include the cost of all soft costs – e.g. insurance, promotion, consultant services, et cetera – as well as the cost of construction.”

As of Feb. 14, when the application was turned in to the RDA, WRT had already spent $494,166 on the construction of Phase 1A and Phase 1B property acquisition.

“WRT Inc. has received an anonymous donation of $2,000,000,” the application noted. “This money has been used to fund Phase 1A planning and construction. It also has been used to raise an additional $2,000,000 in matching contributions from other private donors. This brings the total of inhand and pledged funding for the WRT to $4,000,000.”

The application did not list who has donated to the WRT. However, it claims, “WRT has a number of large donors who have already made donations or pledged support. An individual listing has not been provided as part of this application out of respect to those who have requested their contribution be kept confidential.”

Construction timeline The Lagro-toWabash portion of the trail is tentatively scheduled to be finished by Summer 2018. Work will begin this spring, with paving scheduled to begin in the fall.

The Basin Street work began in July 2016, the application notes, with work expected to be done by June.

However, those

... continued from the front page plans hit a snag in late March when Duke Energy announced that it was not aware that work on the WRT had started.

Duke spokesperson Angeline Protogere told The Paper that the trail’s design firm contacted the utility in September 2015 for information on trails in utility easements, to which the utility provided its guidelines.

“They shared a preliminary route option with us, but we did not receive any final detailed plans or a request to approve them,” she said. “We became aware that the project was underway during one of our routine helicopter patrols in February.

We have since been contacted by the design firm with their plans and have explained the easement and issues involved. In respect to our easement, while we can allow the portion of the project that replaces the existing Basin Street, we cannot approve the remainder of the trail in our easement as currently proposed.”

Since that announcement was made on March 31, Duke Energy officials have met with WRT representatives and trail designers, according to Protogere.

“We are waiting on revised plans and information,” she told The Paper Other aspects of the application The 424-page application contains a variety of other aspects of the project, including an explanation as to what makes this work different from other trail projects.

“WRT, Inc., is a unique organization

with a unique approach to trail development,” the application notes.

“Most trails in Indiana are developed using public funds and the project sponsors are generally units of government sometimes working in cooperation with notfor-profit trail organizations. The traditional method of developing trails is very expensive, takes years, and often is limited to short segments.

This is because the public funding used for the majority of trail projects in Indiana is burdened with restrictions, processes and documentation requirements that require years to complete and inflate the cost of construction.”

WRT’s approach, the application contends, “has already proven this approach produces high quality results in short order.”

“WRT Inc. handles the day to day work of trail development in a way that is designed to build trust between and among riverfront property owners,” the application continues. “Property owners on the WRT route have long been stewards of the land along the Wabash River and are protective of it.

“WRT Inc. has been able to work with these individuals to pick the best route for the trail, and in the process of doing that, virtually all of them have decided they can and should work with WRT Inc. to make the trail a reality.

“WRT Inc’s approach to trail creation is framed around building a sense of local ownership while at the same time building the trail. Improving the environment for biking and hiking today is a start.

Maintaining and expanding on the trail over the next 50 years is a real goal of WRT Inc., and the key to that is build a facility that every adjacent property owner, every community member, and every visitor thinks of, and takes care of, as if it was their own.”

THE PAPER

April 12, 2017

White’s initiative prepare youth for life after graduation ...continued fromn the front page To help the students, White’s officials developed the “Growing Teens for Life” initiative.

The program is based on a five-pillar philosophy.

“If kids are going to be successful, there are five pillars

that we, as an organization, are going to have to do to help the kids get ready to be successful on their own,” Gibson said.

The pillars are getting an education and vocational skills, learn life skills, gain work experience,

learn about financial stability, and have mentorship and after care for when the youth leave White’s.

The educational and vocational skills, as well as the work experience, come through White’s.

Education, obviously,

comes from the high school, while the work skills are available through such programs as the facility’s greenhouse, working in the facility’s food service department and more.

As for financial stability, “we set them up with bank accounts while they’re here so they have that,” Dawn Marseilles, White’s Independent Living and After Care coordinator, said. “That helps them get some education on how to do things financially.”

Other life skills are taught health-related issues, grocery shopping, and getting them set up for college.

“We do applications for different colleges,” Marseilles said. “We help them in getting set up to take their SATs and ACTs, and we do a lot of college tours.”

Partners around the community also help with the program.

“Monthly we go into town and they do some type of activity,” she said. “They go to Beacon Credit Union and they talk about the importance of having good credit and how to build credit. We take them

to INGUARD Insurance, and they talk to them about how to get car insurance when they need to do that, or the importance of life insurance.”

Mentoring and after care is an important part of the program.

“We know that if the kids go through this program here, and leave to go back home and they’re just dropped off and there’s no support or after care back home, the risk of them being unsuccessful increases substantially,” Gibson said.

The program will seek to connect with individuals in the students’ hometowns to work with them and “give them a little bit of the accountability partner, someone to talk to,” he continued.

“One thing we noticed about the kids coming out of foster care, when they’re finally on their own, when they have their independence, is what do they do with their down time? What do they do when they’re not working and don’t have other responsibilities.

What do they do with their time?

“So we try to connect them with a church, a volunteer

group, something to give them a place to go and people to be involved with.”

Growing Teens for Life goes hand-inhand with the goals that White’s founder Josiah White had — education, religious affiliation and work, Gibson noted.

It is through the work experience that the students are able to earn money for their savings account. There are now about 40 students working in one aspect or another at the facility. The area that employs the most is the cafeteria and food service area, with roughly 20 students employed.

However, the most visible area is the White’s greenhouse, where 14 students are employed.

Students are busy getting ready for the greenhouse’s opening this year on April 22.

Samantha and Joey are two of the 14 students employed at the greenhouse.

“I’ve always loved working with plants,” Joey said. “It’s more of a hobby for me. It is still entertaining.”

He said he’s learned many things through the greenhouse, including the proper way to water plants.

Samantha was

pruning plants being grown in trays in one of the greenhouses.

She has been employed at the greenhouse for three months.

“I’ve learned a lot,” she said. “Honestly, I’ve learned the difference between biennials, perennials, annuals. I’ve learned about succulents and a lot of different stuff. I’ve learned how to dead head (prune). When you dead head, you cut off the old and up comes new growth and stuff.”

She said that through working at the greenhouse she’s had thoughts about pursuing a career in gardening.

“I feel there’s an element of science about it,” she said.

“It’s real earthy and it’s refreshing. I’m still kind of thinking about what I want to do for a career.”

The greenhouse is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 4:30 on Saturday. It has more than 10,000 plants and about 45 varieties of flowers and bedding plants.

Gibson and Marseilles thanked the community for supporting the Growing Teens for Life program, both through purchases made at the greenhouse, as well as allowing White’s to partner with them for other aspects of the program.

He added that, “I think if you think of the body of Christ as a family, then we’re all family through Him and … we all gather around the unifying principles that he teaches.”

Curry agreed with Cornell and said that Christians joining together during this time is a reminder that “we’re on the same team.”

“What we have in common is probably 99 percent of who we are,” Curry said. “I mean we’re followers

of Christ. Period.

That should be the DNA of every Christian.”

He later added, “I can be as dogmatic as any pastor can be about what I believe is right, but yet, when push comes to share, if I share Christ with someone, we have a world in common.

“So it’s that’s kind of vision and spirit that we need to keep flowing.”

While several pastors lead the service with scripture, Pastor Rob McIntire will perform live music and

Pastor Roxanne Mann will compose a painting during the event.

The offering that will be collected during the service will be put toward the WAMA Community Assistance Program.

Commissioners OK upgrades to computer servers

By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com After several recent issues with some of the county’s servers, the commissioners voted to spend $123,614.33 to upgrade them.

County Coordinator Jim Dils noted that the county’s geographic information system server had to be shut down at least four times recently, and that the tax server needed work done by Intrasect to stay up and running through the spring tax season.

He added that the replacements have been discussed for nearly a year.

Joe Wright, a network engineer with I n t r a s e c t Technologies, presented information on the current servers and the planned replacements at the commissioners’ Monday, April 10, meeting. “[The tax server] is still a 2003 operating system; GIS is still a 2003 operating system.

The other virtual servers… are 2008 servers,” Wright said.

“The counters on the physical drives [in the GIS server] say that they’ve been running over 10 years at this point, which I believe is accurate. The other equipment in there is roughly six years old.”

He said that they want to put in new hardware, and get the operating systems upto-date so that they will continue to receive patches and security updates.

The commissioners also approved at least $3,955.45 to replace a

water pump assembly in the county’s cooling tower.

Dils said that the parts estimate is $3,955.45, and that the labor cannot be estimated due to the complex nature of the job of removing the old assembly and installing the new one.

Additionally, Dils requested and the commissioners approved spending $3,005 on a 10by-20 foot shed.

“Now that we’ve vacated the old jail, we lost some storage area of some of our lawn equipment,” Dils said.

“To stay within city zoning requirements, 200 square feet is the most we can utilize.

That’s why the recommendation is for a 10by-20 foot shed.”

The shed will be set up at the sheriff ’s department.

Dils recommended getting two sheds, one for at the Sheriff ’s Department and one to replace the shed currently on the courthouse lawn.

“That one has been Band-Aided together for the last couple of years, and it’s going to need some additional work, I think, if it’s going to survive another year or so,” he said.

The commissioners approved the purchase of one shed, and requested that options for savings be looked at before approving the purchase of two.

“I’m thinking about permission to buy one, and find out if there’s an advantage to buy

two. If not, then we’ll wait,” Chairman Scott Givens said while they discussed the matter.

If there are options for a discount, the commissioners will reconvene and discuss them.

Other news from the commissioners’ meeting included the week’s jail report from Sheriff Bob Land.

“As of this morning, I have 86 in our facility.

We’re holding 56 in Miami County, eight in Elkhart County and eight in Wells County, for a total of 158,” Land said.

He noted that the peak population of the Wabash County Jail last week was 105, that there were 27 new book-ins and that 68 inmates are being held pending court action.

INTERNATIONAL S T U D E N T EXCHANGE (ISE) “is a non-profit high school exchange program dedicated to enriching lives since 1982.” If anyone is interested in hosting an exchange student for the 2017/2018, please contact the office at Northfield High School.

Exchange students are 15 to 18 years old, speak English, are fully insured and bring their own spending money. The students come to different high schools to exchange cultures, make friends, and become a part of an “adopted family” for a year. To learn more about the program you can “google” International Student Exchange.

TIMMY GLOBAL HEALTH: I have received some questions about Timmy Global Health that I mentioned in the picture caption that was in last week’s issue of “the paper.” Claudia Rosen was a part of the trip in March and I thought I would let people know a little more about the organization and what they do.

Timmy Global Health, an Indianapolis based organization, “was founded in 1997 by Dr. Charles (Chuck) Dietzen, a pediatric physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist. After working in a number of international settings, including with Mother Teresa, Dr. Chuck was inspired to serve more communities by engaging the next generation of healthcare leaders.

The organization was named after Dr. Chuck’s brother Timmy, who passed away in his infancy.

The organization is a legacy to both Dr. Chuck’s brother and family, as well as a tribute to all the patients around the world that deserve quality health care.”

Three groups of people – medical professionals, student volunteers, and community volunteers are a part of the mission teams that now directly support 10 community based project sites in Ecuador, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, and Nigeria.

The medical professionals have a chance to serve both as a healthcare provider and a teacher – show-

THE WEEKLY ISAAC-ISM: “All athletic competition contains much of the drama of life we all go through. In many respects it is a microcosm of life.

Frustration, joy,

www.thepaperofwabash.com

uncertainty, pain, struggle, failure and success are all there.

People who enter the competitive arena soon realize that there is more to competition than simply learning the physical skills. In the final analysis, every athletic contest is a contest of control, control of the delicate mind-body connection. Mental toughness simply is focus on the moment, the process, not the achieving of an end result expected by yourself or others.

Just like in life as in competition, you should savor the moment.”

EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe enjoyable week!

THE PAPER OF WABASH

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

The Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety approved special event applications for four different events planned throughout the year in the downtown Wabash area.

The board, at its

Thursday, April 6, meeting, agreed to close Miami Street between Market and Cass streets six Saturdays during the year for the farmer’s market. The closure was at the request of Wabash Marketplace Inc. The market generally takes place in the Wabash Elks and

Honeywell Center parking lots. However, when the lots are busy with other events, the market moves to Miami Street.

Dates approved for the move were May 20, June 24, Aug. 5, Aug. 19, Sept. 16 and Oct. 21. The street will be closed from 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. those days.

Honeywell House to present toy, art program

By The Paper staff “Fine Toys and Fun Art” will be presented at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 27, at the Honeywell House.

Kristy Church, owner of the Black Squirrel Toy Store in downtown Wabash will be the speaker.

Church will explain the store’s focus and what she searches for to fill her store shelves.

Also an artist, Church will display and discuss

her paintings. Living on a small farm just outside the city limits, her paintings often reflect her surrounds, including goats, sheep, donkeys and other colorful characters around the farm.

Having moved to Wabash in 2013, her first goal was to find a suitable place for an art studio, and a toy store. Knowing a thing or two about toys (being a mother of five), she knew she

11th annual Wabash FAME Festival kicks off April 22

By The Paper staff The 11th annual Wabash FAME Festival will bring a day of art, music and fun to the Honeywell Center on Saturday, April 22.

FAME, or the Foundation of Art and Music in Education, has sponsored artistic activities for elementary and middle school students in Northern Indiana for 30 years.

This year’s Wabash festival, a free and open to the public event, will spotlight Chinese art, music and dance. The event will feature local students’ artwork and performances as well as professional artist sessions and presentations as well as craft activities.

The Fort Wayne Chinese Families and Friends Association will be this year’s featured guest artists.

Members of the group will perform authentic dances and music in the Ford Theater in half

hour programs, which will take place at 10 a.m., 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., and will have two acts during the Spotlight Concert.

In addition to exhibiting colorful costumes and performing the Dragon Dance, the association will also have a display of Chinese artifacts and items for sale in the lobby as well as instruct festivalgoers on the Chinese language and writing.

Guest visual artists will teach 30minute workshops throughout the day.

Local artist Kay Gray will teach Chinese brush painting of bamboo trees with leaves on rice paper using traditional Chinese brushes and black/gray ink.

Those attending Gray’s workshop will also stamp red Chinese characters using rubber stamps.

The sessions will take place at 9:30 a.m., 11 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 1:30 p.m., and 2:30 p.m. in the Nixon Room.

Susan Stewart, another Wabash native, will lead youth in creating cherry blossom trees with pre-fired glass and enameled copper pieces. The craft will be mounted on 5- by 7-inch pieces of wood covered in Chinese-style paper.

A hanger on the back of the wood will allow for the artwork to be a hanging display around the home. Students of any age are welcome, but parental assistance may be needed for some to complete the project. Sessions will be limited to 15 participants and begin at 9 a.m., 10:30 a.m., noon, 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. in the Crystal Room.

Manchester Junior High art teacher Hannah Burnworth will lead sessions in mixed medial floral painting by using crayon and liquid watercolor as dyes.

The project will create art pieces similar to Chinese silk paintings. The sessions are designed for youth in grades 3 and above, and limit-

ed to 20 students. The project will begin at 9 a.m., 10 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. in the Haist Room.

Terry LeMaster, owner of Wabash Music, will sponsor Jammin’ sessions with guitars and percussion instruments at Eugenia’s from 2 p.m. until the end of the event.

In addition to professional artists, students will be given their time to shine as well.

The Imaginarium make-it, take-it craft area will take place in the Honeywell Center’s skating rink and feature Chineserelated projects including Chinese fans, bamboo brush paintings, terracotta warriors, masks, paper lanterns and many more.

The Composition Project returns for its third year with the Wabash event.

Through the project, 18 fourth grade students throughout the project met with c o m p o s e r Christopher Cheever during four after-

At the conclusion of the sessions, Cheever took the students’ individual works and wove them into a larger composition entitled, “The Call of the Dragon,” which will premiere at 3:30 p.m. during the festival’s Spotlight Concert.

The Wabash Community Band will perform the piece while members the Wabash Valley Dance Theater perform interpretive dances to the music.

The event will also host student performances in Legacy Hall.

THE PAPER April 12, 2017

Kreider’s love for books give church a library Article provided

Bonnie Ulrey Kreider grew up loving to read and that strong attraction continued through her childhood.

After she married Bob Kreider at the Servia United Church of Christ her insatiable passion for books came to fruition. Kreider and a church friend constructed two large bookshelves in the church entryway, and Mrs. Kreider and others donated many, many books and their dream of a church library was fulfilled.

Working in the libraries at the Central and Chester elementary schools in North Manchester gave her the knowledge to manage a library, so she definitely knew what needed to be done.

Mrs. Kreider speaks with pride when she tells people that she reads every book that is given to the church library and says there was only one that she couldn’t accept “because of the bad words.”

Junior Achievement has annual fundraiser

By The Paper staff

Bonnie Kreider shows off the library she helped to create at the Servia United Church of Christ. Photo provided ated reading lists for its churches, and she readily shared this information with members of the congregation.

The church provided funds to purchase books on the lists.

Members who read the qualified number each year were recognized with a small gift for their accomplishment.

The Servia church frequently encompassed more readers than any other church in the Indiana UCC Conference, due in part to Bonnie’s perseverance in encouraging members to get

involved.

In 2006, the Servia United Church of Christ merged with St. John’s UCC and the New Hope Church was formed.

The Servia church collection was downsized and moved to the church in Bippus with Mrs. Kreider remaining as librarian. Every Sunday she can be seen straightening and re-shelving the books.

Always creative, she even added jigsaw puzzles to the library which could be checked out.

Recently, some members felt the collection needed to be in

a more prominent location in the church, so the library was moved to the fellowship hall.

The new, much larger area is being called “Bonnie’s Library Nook” and, as before, that’s the first place Mrs. Kreider heads when she arrives at church.

Now 91, she is still a voracious reader of both books and newspapers. Her husband says she keeps him busy going to the recycling bin with all the newspapers she goes through each week.

Junior Achievement of Wabash County had its annual Achieve-ABowl fundraiser at Cannonball Lanes. Title sponsors for this year’s event were Crossroads Bank and Crossroads Investment Center.

Junior Achievement is a nonprofit organization that teaches business and financial literacy to students in grades K-12. The Achieve-A-Bowl raises funds for the JA programs in MSD and Wabash City Schools.

This year’s theme was “Learning is the Game of Life.”

Participants took part in a regular game and a funky frame game.

They also answered trivia questions for a chance to win door prizes donated by local businesses.

Each bowler earned a free Tshirt for participating in the event.

Lane sponsorships were provided by Todd Adams State Farm Insurance, Crossfit Relativity, Kelsey McQuiston Thrive, Hope Crull Lutton, Nerium International, Bass and Bucks, Vanderpool Law Firm, Mutual Bank, and Dawes & Pugh CPAs, LLC. T-shirt sponsors were provided

by Cannonball Lanes, Bowler’s Depot, Tiede Metz Downs Tandy & Petruniw, Access Youth Center, Halderman Farm Management & Real Estate, Vanderpool Law Firm, Mutual Bank, Dawes & Pugh CPAs, LLC, and Heartland REMC. “We were pleased with the number of teams bowling for Junior Achievement for the finan-

THE PAPER

April 12, 2017

VIEWPOINT OUR VIEW Use care when in work zones There’s a joke that goes around about this time of year: There are two seasons in Indiana --winter and construction.

While that is a little over-exaggerated, it does seem that there is a lot of construction taking place on Indiana’s roadways once the weather gets warm.

Improving our local roads and highways is wonderful. However, it also can lead to danger for the work crews, especially when drivers are paying little to no attention.

Gov. Eric Holcomb declared last week “Work Zone Awareness Week,” urging all drivers to use care when traveling thorugh work zones this spring and summer.

Like many special weeks, this one deserves more than a weeklong observance. Every driver should make a concerted effort to pay attention when passing through work zones each and every day.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1,435 workers lost their lives at road construction sites from 2003-2014.

In Indiana, at least 12 people have been killed

each year from 2014 to 2016 in work zone crashes. Of those killed, 80 percent are motorists or their passengers.

Using caution in work zones is quite simple.

Here are a few tips to consider: -- Stay alert! Look for reduced speed limits, narrow driving lanes and highway workers.

-- Pay attention. Work zone signs will tell drivers exactly what to expect ahead.

-- Merge Early. If drivers merge as soon as they see signs, traffic will flow much more smoothly.

-- Slow down! Don’t speed, there could be slowed or stopped vehicles in the construction zone.

-- Keep your distance.

Maintain a safe distance on all sides of the vehicles.

Minimize distractions.

The three Cs – cell phones, CDs, and coffee – are the primary cause of driver inattention.

-- Plan ahead. Expect delays during construction season and allow extra travel time, or select an alternate route.

Let’s try to have a safe road construction season this year, but that will take effort from all.

Senate OKs state budget

Indiana’s business climate one of the best in the nation.

HB 1001 will now move back to the House of Representatives for further consideration.

In another matter, Indiana has the nation’s lowest unemployment rate for veterans, according to a recent report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

According to the report, on average just 1.8 percent of Hoosier veterans were unemployed during 2016.

The Indiana Department of Workforce Development and Andy Zay WorkOne Career centers offer comprehensive veteran placement services including free vocational training, occupational skills assessments, direct job referrals and interview preparation.

Helping our veterans after their service is a top priority for lawmakers, and these numbers show that Hoosier veterans are gaining the education they need to secure jobs after serving our country.

By State Sen. Andy Zay

Last week, the Indiana Senate passed House Bill 1001, which establishes the state’s next two-year budget.

Highlights of the Senate’s budget plan include: -- Keeping Indiana’s budget balanced; -- Maintaining strong “rainy day” reserves to protect taxpayers in the event of a future economic downturn; -- Increasing K-12 funding by $358 State Sen. million; -- Providing $40 million for teachers through the Teacher Appreciation Grant program; -- Increasing Department of Child Services funding by $100 million; and -- Increasing funding for Veterans Service Organizations to help veterans gain access to benefits.

For the last decade, Indiana has been a leader in responsible budgeting by cutting taxes for State Sen. Andy Zay, R-Huntington, represents workers and empl-oyers, red-ucing state debt, and building up reserves. This budget reflects Wabash County in the Indiana Senate’s 17th those principles, which have helped make District.

State budget falls short in fight against smoking Dear Editor: The Indiana State Senate stripped a cigarette tax increase from the state budget proposal, which the House of Representatives included in its plan.

It is disheartening that the cigarette tax increase was stripped from the budget by the Senate, despite the fact that 70 percent of Hoosier voters support the proposal. With our state in the midst of an addiction crisis, raising the cigarette tax by $1.50 per pack would give our state another tool to fight addiction from the ground up.

Approximately 4,100

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Hoosier kids become new daily smokers every single year, and we know that youth cigarette use is a predictor for additional drug use. Research also indicates that smoking can make recovery from drug addiction more difficult, which is a concern because 95 percent of opioid addicts are also addicted smokers. That is why a broad coalition of health and business groups came together this year to support a $1.50-per-pack cigarette tax increase.

The decision to remove the proposed cigarette tax increase from the budget puts tens of thousands of kids at risk of future tobacco addiction and does nothing to ease the state’s health and addiction crisis. Hoosiers’ health should be a first priority, not a bargaining chip in budget negotiations.

I urge the General Assembly to pass a $1.50 cigarette tax increase this year. — Daniel Gray, Director, Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition

Sorority has March meeting in Wabash Article provided

Alpha Zeta Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma International met on March 11, at Wellbrooke of Wabash, an assisted living/nursing home with a community room. Hostesses were Nancy Kolb, Barb Buroker, Brenda Landis, and Susan Keefer.

The meeting was called to order by President Roxanne Thomas.

Guests attending included Brody and Olivia Cook, Jocelyn Sherbahn, Sherbahn’s mother Karen Sherbahn, Kathleen Crowe who is a potential member, and speaker Dr. Laura McDermott.

Thomas offered prayer and members enjoyed a breakfast casserole, fruit, and drinks at tables decorated for St. Patrick’s Day using items sent

by Judy Ward.

Donna Ott presented the Esther Mae Ashley Scholarship to Brody Cook, who spoke briefly to the group on why he wants to teach and help children become life-long learners through exploration.

Angie Grable presented a grant-in-aid to Jocelyn Sherbahn.

Sue Corbin introduced Dr. Laura McDermott who presented the program titled Technology Integration.

She explained the process of integrating technology into the classrooms in Whitley County—the intense planning and training that went into the preparation for implementing the program.

She noted that currently over 50 percent of jobs require knowledge of technology and in a decade that will increase to 70%.

Students must be prepared. What teachers do already is important, so the Whitley County schools sought to imbed technology into what is currently in place, not to replace what they already have.

Children are being taught where to look for information, and not just being “fed” the information. The program was well received. Ironically, the technical equipment available to help with the presentation of Dr. McDermott’s program was not working!

Sue Corbin noted that Founders, particularly in Indiana, will be featured in the program at the next meeting May 6, in Columbia City.

The treasurer’s report was accepted for filing as printed.

Roxanne Thomas, in place of Janet Vesa, read a card thanking our chapter for the contribution of books and money to Kate’s Kart.

Barbara Overdeer reminded the group that she has prospective member cards available.

Roxanne Thomas, in place of Mary Catherine Palmer, gave a legislative report about a parochial high school in Silicone Valley who grew $15,000 into $24,000,000 thru investments in technology.

She noted that

singers are needed for the chorus at State Convention. The contact to sign up for participation was in the Hoosier Newsette.

Donna Ott passed out a brochure on some available scholarhips and grants, including a travel grant for persons over 55 years of age.

Roxanne added that applications for the Lucile Cornetet Individual Award for P r o f e s s i o n a l Development are due May 1.

Barb Buroker sent a sympathy card to Michelle Ball’s family because of the death of her husband’s mother. Mary Martha Scott is recovering from knee replacement. Mary Lou Fries was in the hospital with respiratory issues and has been transferred to a rehabilitation center in

COLUMBIA CITY 119 Hoosier Drive 260-244-4111

Fort Wayne.

The fine and scholarship boxes were passed.

Nancy Kolb, Kathaleen Reese, and Joyle Allen led the group in singing “My Wild Irish Rose” and “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling.”

It was noted that some people are beginning to receive the Hoosier Newsette on line.

Darlene Bockelman clarified items in the proposed 2017-18 budget, including reinstating the Alpha Zeta Chapter Scholarship, the fine box, the scholarship box, and the We Care Fund, so new members would understand them.

Karen Bandelier spoke on behalf of the Finance Committee which moved that the Alpha Zeta Chapter Scholarship be rein-

stated in the budget.

Barb Buroker seconded and, after some discussion and clarification, the motion passed. It was suggested that a committee might review the forms and requirements of the scholarship to be sure they are up-to-date, but no action was taken at this time.

Karen Bandelier again spoke on behalf of the Finance Committee which moved to approve the 2017-18 proposed budget. Barb Buroker seconded and the motion carried.

Roxanne reminded the chapter of the new access of Alpha Zeta Chapter to Facebook.

She also summarized proposed ByLaws Amendments that will be presented at the Indiana State Convention and was

WABASH 905 N. Cass St. 260-563-6333

directed to vote in favor of the amendments. The convention will be held April 29-30, 2017 at the Lexington Hotel in Indianapolis.

Registration deadline is April 10, 2017. Barb Buroker is up to be on the nominations committee for the state.

Karen Kinney and Lisa Treadwell (Carol Winterholter’s daughter-in-law) will be presenters at State Convention.

The Northeast Regional Conference will be July 12-13 in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Members are encouraged to register on line to avoid an extra fee which would be charged for a phone call, and are reminded to remember to take a passport.

The Fall Arts Retreat is November 3-4, 2017 at St. Meinrad Archabbey.

HUNTINGTON 2808 Theater Ave., Suite B 260-356-2220

PG Points for today’s meeting are available and members can see Roxanne for her signature.

Brenda Landis donated Delta Kappa Gamma related door prizes for a drawing.

Prizes were won by Roxanne Thomas, Kathaleen Reese, Kirsten Jines, Susan Keefer, and Darlene Bockelman.

Roxanne distributed forms that can be filled out and kept with members’ key pins to direct their families as to what to do with the key pins when the members pass away.

The meeting was adjourned with members in a circle singing the Delta Kappa Gamma Song.

Members that attended from Wabash County were Nancy Kolb, Brenda Landis and Susan Keefer.

Wabash County maple syrup farm concludes 17th season

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Locally produced maple syrup is back on the menu as Sweet Tree Farms harvest season finished Tuesday, March 28.

Located at 2095 E. 400 S. in rural Wabash County, the Enser family has collected syrup from their land’s maple trees for 17 years.

“In 1999, we were making a pan on the stove,” founder Jim Enser told The Paper of Wabash County.

“We were making out first one and in 2000, I told the kids we were ready to go out and play in the snow.”

The three-generation family business began after Enser had an idea.

“I told my wife (Alma) that I’d become a couch potato in the winter,” he said, “and the grandkids just sat in front of the TV playing computer games and I said, ‘I’m going to get the grandkids out and we’re going to make maple syrup.’

“And my wife asked me what I knew about doing that and I told her I knew absolutely nothing, but between different vendors and the library, I guess I can figure it out.”

However, what started as a family project soon outgrew their expectations.

At first, the Ensers began boiling their syrup in a flat pan.

This year, Sweet Tree

Farms utilizes multiple machines to produce approximately 80 gallons of syrup per year, which is sold locally at shops like Cathy’s Natural Market and Modoc’ Market.

On March 11-12, the Ensers hosted their second annual open house and welcomed the community to visit and ask questions about their production.

“There’s several other maple sugar houses around Wabash County and the year before last, they started Maple Weekend, which is the second weekend in March,” Enser said, “and the bigger share of the producers around here had opened their sugar houses for visitors.

“We had visitors from Fort Wayne, Logansport, Mexico, Greencastle and Carmel. We had a real variety of people come out. … It wasn’t a really good day to be out, but we had a good mix of visitors.”

This season produced lower yield than years prior, however. The fluctuating warm and cold weather decreased the amounts of syrup Enser and his family collected.

“This year it got too cold and (the syrup) stopped and then it got too warm and it started,” Enser said.

“I actually started resetting trees because we were short (in supply).

Deadline nears for retired teacher reservations

Reservations for Wabash County Retired Teachers Association are due Thursday, April 13, 2017.

Don’t forget to bring donations for the two projects: “Change Changes Lives,” and cancelled postage stamps for establishing cottage industries in third world countries.

We’ve got about 50 gallons this year.”

Nevertheless, Sweet Tree Farms’ syrup is back this year and Enser said he looks forward to many more years of harvesting.

“You have to enjoy it or you wouldn’t do it,” he explained. “It’s a lot of work.”

Sweet Tree Farms, a three-generation family business, concluded its 17th harvesting season in March. The Enser family, which includes (clockwise from left) Jim, Sheere, Mike, Debbie, Cayla, Alma and (not pictured) Zach Reed, hosted an open house event for area and state residents alike to learn more about locallymade maple syrup.

USDA taking crop block grant applications From the USDA INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) is now accepting applications for the Specialty Crop Block Grant Program, funded by USDA. These grants are available to nonprofits, producers (must impact multiple producers), academic institutions, government agencies and others to fund projects that will enhance the competitiveness of Indiana’s specialty crops.

“While many farmers continue to plant traditional row crops, more and more are considering diversification in their operations to increase profitability,” said Ted McKinney, ISDA Director.

“These funds will create additional growth opportunities for them while strengthening specialty crop production in the state.”

According to USDA, specialty crops are fruits and vegetables, dried fruit, tree nuts, horticulture and nursery crops (including floriculture).

Eligible plants must be intensively cultivated and used by people for food, medicinal purposes and/or aesthetic gratification. A

list of specialty crops is available, along with a companion list of ineligible commodities, on USDA’s website.

Applicants are encouraged to develop projects pertaining to the following areas: — investing in specialty crop research, including research to focus on conservation and environmental outcomes; — developing new and improved seed varieties and specialty crops; — pest and disease control; — increasing child

and adult nutrition knowledge and consumption of specialty crops; — improving efficiency and reducing costs of distribution systems; improving the capacity of all entities in the specialty crop distribution chain to comply with the requirements of the Food Safety Modernization Act, for example, by developing “Good A g r i c u l t u r a l Practices,” “Good Handling Practices,” “Good Manufacturing Practices,” and in

cost-share arrangements for funding audits of such systems for small farmers, packers and processors; — enhancing food safety and; — sustainability.

Grant proposals are due May 10, 2017 by 5:00 p.m. (EST). For more information about the Specialty Crop Block Grant Program, please visit www.in.gov/isda /2474.htm or contact Hannah Ferguson at hferguson@isda.in.go v or 317.234.7707

In Memory of My Father

Larry Layton April 14, 1939 - October 6, 2014 No words I write can ever say, how much I miss you everyday.

As time goes by the loneliness grows, how much I miss you, nobody knows.

I think of you in silence, I often speak your name.

But all I have are memories and a photo in a frame.

No one knows my sorrow. No one sees me weep.

But the love I have for you, is in my heart to keep.

Yes, I know you are in a much better place, As you watch over me with a smile on your face.

It will soon be the month of May, And I have one more thing I want to say.

Mushrooms will be coming out soon so if you will, Climb that hill and find them with your Son Jeff and good friend Bill.

I love and miss you so much Dad!!!

Have a happy birthday!!!

Your Daughter, Kris Shidler

4 Howard County residents face methamphetamine charges in Wabash County

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Four Howard County residents are facing felony drug charges in Wabash County following a routine traffic stop.

Huntington County Deputy Marshal Matthew Farthing performed a traffic stop near County Road 750 East in Wabash County on March 29 after a vehicle, which displayed improper plates, had traveled west on U.S. 24 across the county line from Huntington County, according to the probable cause affidavit.

Due to the traffic stop crossing the Huntington County line, the four face charges in Wabash County.

During the stop, Farthing determined one of the vehicle’s three passengers had provided false information. As the only officer at the scene, Farthing initiated a search of the person, who was later identified as Aaron F. Smith, 22, Russiaville, for his protection and located a handgun in Smith’s waistband, the court documents continued.

The officer ran the handgun’s serial charge.

Frances Slocum DAR has March meeting Article provided The monthly meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) took place on Tuesday, March 14, at the GrandstaffHentgen Activity Room, Wabash.

The meeting opened with the DAR ritual.

Devotions were “No Peace, but a Sword.”

The March President General’s message from Ann T. Dillon was shared by Linda Thompson.

March is Women’s History Month.

Many of our early members were history makers, and many of our current mem-

bers are as well. The DAR Archives has an ongoing exhibit called “Dazzling Daughters,” which features members who were first ladies, writers, scientists, social reformers, educators, performers, scientists and many other professionals.

Barbara Amiss gave the National Defender and Women’s History Month report on Nancy Morgan Hart, was 6-foot-tall, roughhewn and rawboned, with red hair, smallpox-scarred face, was cross-eyed, a fearlessness and hair-trigger temper helped earn her the nickname, “War Woman,” from

the local Cherokees.

Nancy was renowned as a spy distinguishing herself as “A honey of a Patriot.”

Hart is probably best known for taking on the British on her own property. As a Tory spy was peeking through a crack, she filled her ladle with boiling soap water and flung it through the crack. A scream confirmed her aim.

Late one day a group of British soldiers came and killed her prize turkey and ordered her to cook the bird and give them some wine to drink. As the day went on, she was slipping their muskets through a small open-

ing to her daughter outside. On the third musket, the soldiers realized what was happening. Hart shot the first soldier and kept the others at gunpoint until her husband arrived with militiamen. All the soldiers were hung from a nearby tree. More than 130 years later there was discovered a new row of skeletons, buried under three feet of earth on the Hart property. Avonne Lee Knecht shared the American Indians Committee minute.

The members prepared 86 thank you cards for the April 26 Honor Flight.

Jen Rankin, Executive Director, Wabash County Solid Waste Management District, spoke about the volunteer group “The Wabash River Defenders.” In 2011, a small group called the “River Rats” had a dream to restore the 19.2 miles of the Wabash River with

Wabash County. In July of that year, 400 volunteers worked for five hours removing 32,643 pounds of debris from the banks and water that day. An impressive 83 percent of the debris collected that day was recycled.

The group of volunteers to date, have pulled over 105.5 tons of debris from the banks of the Wabash River. Of these 105.5 tons, there were over 4,000 tires. In 2013, the Wabash River Jr. Defender program was established to educate our local youth in the importance of protecting our waterways.

Many projects have successfully brought

our community together to establish a common goal. The goal is to restore the Wabash River to the beauty that our grandparents tell stories about.

The next meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter will be Tuesday, April 11, at 7 p.m. at the Grandstaff-Hentgen Activity Room, 1231 Manchester Ave., Wabash.

The program will b presented by Victoria Voris, DAR State Registrar, on DNA and DAR & Family Tree.

Prospective members and guests are always welcome to attend.

How much do I care about whom is the No.1 pick in the NBA Draft? Not much.

Do I care what teams have the best shot at the lottery picks? Not really.

What I do care about as far as the NBA is concerned is how the Indiana Pacers match up against the other teams, past and present. About a month ago, I was invited to attend a Sunday evening Pacers game as they took on Miami.

Sitting courtside, taking in the panoramic view around Bankers Life Fieldhouse, I looked at the rafters and visually examined the huge banners that hang there. Roger Brown – Hall of Fame, Reggie Miller – Hall of Fame, Mel Daniels – Hall of Fame, Bobby Leonard – Hall of Fame, George McGinnis, conspicuously — not in the Hall of Fame, a very nice tribute to the past for a number of Pacers who donned the Blue and Gold during their careers.

So travel back in time with me……….

The Indiana Pacers came into existence for the 1966-67 season.

They played in the old Coliseum at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. During this same time, a young inner city kid was growing up in Indianapolis.

He excelled in both basketball and football at I n d i a n a p o l i s Washington High School, where in 1969 his team went unbeaten for the season and won the state championship.

McGinnis set an Indiana state tournament scoring record with 148 points in his final four games. He was also named Mr. Basketball.

In Washington’s undefeated season in ‘68-69, we watched as Washington beat Marion 61-60 in the state semi final at the Butler Fieldhouse, then beat Gary Tolleston in the final.

McGinnis was a man among boys on the court. He decided to play at Indiana University and became the first soph-

BILL BARROWS omore to lead the Big Ten in scoring and rebounding. He averaged 29.9 points per game in his lone season in Bloomington earning All-American and All-Big Ten Honors in 1971. He left after that season to join the Pacers.

McGinnis immediately became one of the marquee players of the ABA, playing a key role on the Pacers championship teams in each of his first two seasons with his hometown franchise.

He was named the ABA Playoffs MVP in 1973, averaging 23.9 points and 12.3 rebounds in 18 playoffs games to help the Pacers repeat as champs. His best season came in 1974-75, when McGinnis

scored a career-high 29.8 points per game en route to ABA MVP honors. He nearly averaged a triple-double in the playoffs that year (32.3 points, 15.9 rebounds, and 8.2 assists in 18 games), but the Pacers fell short of the title, losing to Kentucky in the ABA Finals.

I remember going to watch the Pacers and getting to see them up close during my freshman year of high school. The players were physically intimidating and extremely talented.

McGinnis jumped over to the NBA following the 1974-75 season, and he didn’t skip a beat. He made the All-NBA First Team in his debut season with the Philadelphia 76ers, who had originally drafted him in the 1973 NBA Draft.

Teaming up with fellow ABA alumni Julius Erving and Caldwell Jones, McGinnis helped lead the Sixers to the NBA Finals in 1977. He finished his career back in Indianapolis after a stop in Denver.

Fast forward to April 1, 2017……….

I’m watching the NCAA Final Four broadcast, when I see a crawler go across the bottom of the TV screen. The 2017 class for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame was being announced. The new class included the likes of Tracy McGrady, Bill Self, and Rebecca Lobo. At the end of the crawler, almost as an afterthought, was the name of George McGinnis. He is the only player who had been named All-ABA and NBA First Team, not to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

I silently sat and figuratively cheered for one of my all-time favorites. Soon, his banner in Bankers Life will have that Hall of Fame distinction added to it. When asked his reaction this week about his induction, he said he was surprised but extremely honored.

Finally, Big George gets his due! But why did it take so long?

THE PAPER 30 Remember to call 811 during digging season www.thepaperofwabash.com

By The Paper staff MERRILLVILLE — In recognition of National Safe Digging Month, NIPSCO reminds customers and contractors to call 811, the free, national call-beforeyou-dig phone number, at least two business days before starting any digging project.

Calling 811 is not only important for personal and public safety, it’s the law.

Digging without knowing the approximate location of underground utilities can result in damage to gas, electric, communications, water and sewer lines, which can lead to service disruptions and serious injuries.

In addition to the risk of serious injury, not calling 811 could result in fines up to $10,000 and the cost to repair any damages.

No matter how small you think the

project is, whether it’s installing a mailbox, planting trees or performing any other outdoor digging project, NIPSCO encourages everyone to take the following steps: — Always call 811 or enter a request online at w w w. 8 1 1 N OW. c o m two business days before the start of any digging project.

— Tell neighbors, coworkers, family and friends about 811 if they discuss their plans for an outdoor home improvement project with you.

— Plan ahead— Indiana 811 is always open. Just make sure to call at least two working days in advance of your project start date.

— Avoid starting projects until sure all lines are marked. 811 will read a list of companies that should respond.

— Choose another location on the property for a project if

April 12, 2017

the original planned site is near utility line markings.

— If excavation is within two feet of any marked facility, only use hand tools or vacuum excavation with extreme caution.

— If a contractor has been hired, confirm that a call to 811 has been made. Don’t allow work to begin if the lines aren’t marked.

After the site has been accurately marked, it is safe to begin digging carefully around the marked areas.

NIPSCO utilizes two outside companies to assist with marking underground facilities for customers – Utility Resource Group, LLC (URG) and UtiliQuest.

As an enhanced offering, NIPSCO customers will now receive an electronic confirmation that their requested project area has been located.

Living with Canada geese during nesting season From the DNR

Elks honors: Wabash Elks Lodge Exalted Ruler Keith Walters presented end-of-year awards to several people on Friday evening, April 7. Brenton Yarger, who has raised more than $28,000 for the local Shop With a Cop program the last eight years, received the Elks Distinguished Citizenship Award. Photos provided

Eric Terrell (left) received the Elk of the Year award from Walters for his efforts in helping the lodge throughout the year.

Stewart McAllister (left) received the Officer of the Year award from Walters. McAllister serves on the Lodges Board of Trustees and was recently named head trustee.

If Canada geese have become a problem on one’s property, helpful information is available through the Indiana Department of Natural Resources website.

Most goose problems occur from March through June, during nesting season. That is when geese are especially aggressive, sometimes attacking and nipping at people to protect their nest or nesting mate.

Geese also can cause localized damage if many young are hatched in one area.

After hatching, goslings can’t fly for about 70 days, so the young birds and their parents will graze near the hatching area for that time.

Damage to landscaping can be significant, and large amounts of excrement can render areas unfit for human use.

Geese will use land near any waterbody, especially land with short, well-groomed turf grass planted to the water’s edge.

Small retention ponds often fit the bill and become a hot spot for geese. Some people regard geese as an annoyance without recognizing that humans unintentionally encourage the birds’ undesirable behavior with such landscaping.

Planting native wildflowers and prairie grasses around a pond can help resolve such conflicts. More informa-

tion on how to reduce Canada geese conflicts is at wildlife.IN.gov/2996.h tm.

Other solutions include goose annoyance techniques.

Those techniques include using noisemaking devices, using herding dogs used to chase off the birds, supporting goose hunting, and obtaining a DNR relocation or euthanasia goose permit. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) also allows landowners who are properly registered to destroy resident Canada goose eggs and nests on their property.

More information on registering for federal permission to destroy eggs and nests is at epermits.fws.gov/erc gr/gesi.aspx.

It’s against federal law to destroy a Canada goose nest that contains one or more eggs without first securing permission through the USFWS. “It’s best to use preventive measures such as habitat modification or harassment before geese become a nuisance,” said Megan Dillon, urban wildlife biologist with the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife.

THE PAPER 32 Parkview Wabash plans walking path

9039 N 100 E (Denver) $219,900 • MLS# 201712520

Parkview Wabash Foundation and Parkview Wabash Hospital will have a public access walking path that will be developed and made possible by support from the Wabash County community.

The Parkview Wabash Walking Path will on the campus of the new Parkview Wabash Hospital and will be an extension of the existing Wabash Cultural Trail. The trail will enhancing Wabash’s already extensive cultural and environmental offerings and will provide individuals and families of all

ages more opportunities to pursue active, healthy lifestyles.

“Connecting the walking path to the city wide path system, we hope to increase the likelihood of area residents walking or riding to our new facility,” Parkview Wabash President Marilyn CusterMitchell said. “The end result will hopefully be that it provides a safe atmosphere for improving physical and mental well-being for Wabash County residents, hospital staff and visitors.”

Parkview Wabash Foundation is seeking support from individuals and organizations who share a

April 12, 2017

commitment for improving the quality of life of Wabash County community members through the realization of this project.

Donations in support of the Parkview Wabash Walking Path will directly improve the health and wellbeing of Wabash County residents. In fact, those who increase their level of physical activity by taking advantage of the new and existing walking paths will likely decrease their risk for chronic health conditions.

“Partnering with our community to make this a reality is an excellent example of how the people of Wabash County sup-

port their neighbors,” said Beth Squires Stein, director of the Parkview Wabash Foundation. “Healing often happens after a diagnosis, but through generous support of this project, healing can happen by preventing many avoidable conditions through the many benefits of increased physical activity.”

Donations from community members and organizations will help make this community asset a reality.

Those who would like to support the new Parkview Wabash Walking Path, should contact Stein, at lizabeth.stein@parkview. com or 260-569-2254.

Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance office in NM relocates

By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com NORTH MANCHESTER — After 27 years at 1302 State Road 114 W, the North Manchester office of Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance is relocating.

The location closed in late March following the sale of the company’s property, with its staff moving temporarily to the company’s Wabash location.

“Our former IFBI office in North Manchester didn’t meet the needs of our staff or the company, which is why it was put up for sale. It sold very quickly,” Suzanna Henderson, director of public relations and communications for IFBI, said. “In the meantime, effective March 22, we had one agent and one senior marketing associate in that North Manchester office, Paul King and Sonya Hathaway. They are currently serving our members out of our Wabash office.

“They can still be reached at the numbers they had in the North Manchester office.

Those calls are being routed to the Wabash office, and they have the same emails as well.”

The phone number to reach King and Hathaway is 260-982-8502.

Current or prospective members can go to 594 S. Miami St. in Wabash to see an agent in person.

Henderson said that the company is looking for a new location in North Manchester, but that it does not have a timetable for establishing that location.

“It will be dependent on when we can find a building or office that will meet the needs of our company and our members, but we are actively looking,” she said.

According to Schneider Corporation’s Beacon website, Wabash County Farm Bureau, Inc. has owned the property in North Manchester since September of 1990.

HU to break ground for plant science production facility From the HU News Bureau

HUNTINGTON — H u n t i n g t o n University will have a groundbreaking ceremony for the new Ware Plant Science Production Facility.

The ceremony will be on April 20 at 3:45 p.m. at the Dowden Science Building.

“This new facility will provide needed space for students in agriculture courses to work with crop

plants and learn about how they grow,” said Dr. Raymond Porter, Director of the Haupert Institute for Agricultural Studies.

“Ag students will have hands-on learning and research opportunities in the area of plant and soil sciences, with the potential for aquaponics as well.

Faculty and students in biology, chemistry, occupational therapy, and other programs

can also benefit from the additional space for instruction and research. And the Horticulture Club or future ag-related clubs could use some of the space for plant propagation and production.

We are enthusiastic about the possibilities.”

The 2,000 squarefoot facility will sit adjacent to the southeast side of the Dowden Science Building and will feature an aluminum

frame with clear insulated glass and a multiwall polycarbonate roof for heat retention abilities, impact resistance and light diffusion.

The building is designed to be split into two independent zones, one for student instruction and one for research and production purposes.

The latest technology in environmental control will be employed by using an advanced digital hor-

ticultural controller system allowing end users to customize settings and maintain environmental conditions per their specific needs.

This past fall, H u n t i n g t o n University received a lead gift from Dr. and Mrs. Douglas Ware of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, to initiate fundraising for the new facility. Several other donations were allocated for the new building, but it was

an additional gift given by Dr. and Mrs. Ware that completed the project funding.

Both gifts were given in honor of Douglas’ late father, Dale Ware, a long-time Huntington County educator and HU alum (Class of 1936).

“This is just one way we can honor my father who significantly influenced my life and challenged me to pursue a career in agriculture. We also wanted to recog-

nize his life-long commitment to education. It’s been a blessing to see firsthand how he had inspired so many students,” said Dr. Douglas Ware. “My father was proud to be an HU alum and we hope this gift will help strengthen the legacy of Huntington University and further solidify the mission of the Haupert Institute.”

THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER — Raylene Rospond has been named vice president for academic affairs at Manchester University, effective today.

“I know Raylene to be a gifted administrator and passionate advocate for students, faculty and staff,” said President

Dave McFadden announcing the a p p o i n t m e n t Monday, March 13, to faculty and staff.

“She’s good, we know her and she knows us.”

Those reporting to her will be the college deans, deans of student success and student experience, assistant vice president for institutional quality and success, registrar, director of

April 12, 2017

library and academic technology, and a new dean for shared undergraduate programs.

Rospond, who has a doctoral degree in pharmacy, joined Manchester in July 2014 as vice president and dean of what was then the College of Pharmacy at Manchester’s Fort Wayne campus. She led the Pharmacy Program through the

RAYLENE ROSPOND

accreditation process and development of a master’s program in pharmacogenomics.

In 2015, the University went through a restructuring process that resulted in Rospond assuming the role of vice president of institutional effectiveness and dean of the College of Pharmacy, Natural and Health Sciences in July 2015. That college includes undergraduate and graduate programs.

McFadden said Rospond was drawn to Manchester from Drake University by a deep appreciation of MU’s mission and values, and the distinctive integration of both in its Pharmacy Program.

He described her as a “champion of strong academic programs across the University.

Throughout, she has provided effective leadership and administrative strength.”

Her experience before Manchester equips her well for this role. She did undergraduate teaching at Drake and Creighton universities and also served as a faculty associate in the Center for Health Policy and Ethics at Creighton.

She came up from the faculty ranks, McFadden said, which makes her uniquely qualified for this position.

Rospond has more than 25 years of academic experience in clinical practice, didactic and experiential teaching, scholarship and administration.

Prior to coming to Manchester, she served as the deputy provost at Drake following 10 years as the dean of Drake’s College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences.
