Roann set to make precedent for Indiana

County amends CAFO measure
By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com ROANN – The Town of Roann is on the verge of setting a statewide precedent. The Roann Town Council will have a public hearing at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 18, to create a park that includes a portion of land where the former Roann School building once stood. The building was razed in June 2018, thanks in part to a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) received from the Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) by the town and Wabash County Commissioners to demolish the building and create a green space at the site. “Whenever you do a Community Development Block Grant for blight, you have to designate what that space is going to be used for, because they want to make sure it’s being used for the whole community,” Clerk-Treasurer Bob Ferguson told The Paper of Wabash County. “Of course, when we first did the project it was Wabash County and the Town of Roann who owned the property. For us to actually say what it would be used for, that would be a whole new conversation. So what we did was call it green space. “Green space means exactly how it sounds. You can’t put a park on to it. You can’t put benches on to it. You can’t put a pavilion on to it. It’s green

Parade one of highlights of Ashland Days Festival David Brinson news@thepaperofwabash.com LAFONTAINE — The Ashland Days Festival took over the streets of LaFontaine again with this year’s parade, Saturday, June 8. The police cars, tractors, motorcycles and trucks driving through, with those inside throwing candy to scrambling children, marked the peak of the festivities. Commemorating and celebrating the history of LaFontaine, the festival began Friday evening and carried on into Saturday with even more
food, games and events. Pete Dupont, a LaFontaine resident, brought his 2-year-old grandson, Steele, to see his first parade. “We came to support the town, enjoy the community and see tractors,” Dupont said. Dupont said seeing his grandson’s reaction to the tractors made the whole day worth it. He also enjoyed looking down the street and seeing people lined up, smiling, talking to one another. “Getting people out of their homes is kind of a lost art these days,” Dupont said. “It’s a great
way to get to know your neighbors.” The grand marshals of the parade were Idris Krhin, Rita Miller and Dixie Mercer. These women have lived in the town since the 1940s and have contributed to not only the festival, but also the churches and schools of LaFontaine. Unique sights and sounds marched west down Kendall Street. Driving in the parade were both businesses and residents alike. The new LaFontaine Learning Community had a truck with (continued on page 16)
Wabash County Commissioners passed a measure which made several amendments to the county’s confined feeding ordinance. Commissioner Jeff Dawes explained the changes. The amendment moves the setbacks for CAFOs in unincorporated towns, from 1,320 feet to 2,640 feet. Also, the setback is to be 1,000 feet from public water supplies. That was amended to include on-site water wells. All confined feeding structures must be a minimum 1,320 feet from any residence or nonagricultural business under the amended ordinance. Also, screening or landscaping barriers shall be required at all new CAFO structures. The commissioners approved the amended ordinance, suspended the rules, and approved it again on second reading. Public member David Wamsley praised the approval. “The plan commission has done an outstanding job, and spent a lot of time towards getting some much better protection the rural residents,” Wamsley said. Also, at the Commissioners’ meeting, County Highway Superintendent John Martin presented the annual covered bridge certification. (continued on page 16)

Plan Commission OKs Bradley Building change
In somewhat a repeat of its May meeting, the Wabash Plan Commission granted permission to Vandermark Duffey Enterprises to subdivide 5 W. Canal St. into five tracts. Dave Vandermark and Kathleen Alspaugh purchased the site, the former Bradley Building, in 2017, and have been working on refurbishing it, and four other buildings on West
Canal Street, since then. According to their plans for the Bradley Building, the owners plan to split the parcel into five tracts – two on the ground floor, two on the second floor and one on the third floor. The ground floor tracts would remain commercial space, while the second and third floors would be residential. Parking would not be an issue, Vandermark Duffey representative Greg Metz told the commis-
sion, noting that there are four parking spots available in the basement of the building. There also is parking available behind the building. The commission approved the matter 70-1, with commission president Mary Kramer recusing herself as she is related to Alspaugh. In May, the commission approved a similar measure for Vandermark Duffey, this one involving the former Plummer Law Office. The ground floor will be used for
commercial business while the upper floor would be residential. In another matter, the commission conditionally approved a request from Peebles Family Farm to rezone four acres of land north of 3268 S State Road 13 to general business. The commission voted 7-0-1 to send the request to the Wabash City Council for formal approval. Commission member Bill Barrows recused himself as he is related to the Peebles. The conditional
Main Street but pretty much everywhere else is considered rural.” Representatives of the Roann Community Heritage Group worked about three years to get the town into the Main Street program. The program was developed in the 1970s in response to urban renewal, Kern said. “The National Trust for Historic Preservation asked what happens if we come up with a strategy for reinvigorating our historic downtown commercial buildings,” she continued. Madison was one of the first cities in Indiana to be designated a Main Street program. “They came up with a four-point strategy,” Kern said. “They are all of the things that we look at when we look at an application.” The four-point strategy consists of infrastructure, quality of place, economic development and capacity building. “This community values each other and it values its assets and wants to protect them,” she said. “They have a vision and mission statement, a comprehensive work plan, a historic preservation ethic, which means
saving things like the bridge, historic buildings and even Streetscape.” Main Street programs also must have active boards and committees, a budget, ongoing training and a system to report progress during the year. “This year, when Main Street is just starting out, you’ll see a series of little projects related to those four points,” Kern said. “Main Street figured out that if you can work these four things, you can have a successful and thriving downtown. “I really do see that Main Streets that work hard can have a different façade grant program, or different incentives for their business owners who are downtown, like Quickbooks training or vacant store front activation.” Beautification projects, such as downtown murals or planting flowers, also are successful. “I know the Main Street is already doing a lot of this,” Kern said, “but we’re going to be working on getting them lots of great ideas and maybe even some funds to help them get to doing some of those.” Indiana has 134 Main Street communities, the most of any
approval was needed as some needed material was not presented to the commission. Those items include a formal list of those nearby property owners who were notified by letter of the pending matter, as well as a publisher’s affidavit from the Wabash Plain Dealer, indicating the proper legal notice was advertised in advance of the meeting. The Peebles have until Friday, June 14, to provide the needed material to the building commissioner’s office.
Once received, the matter will then be sent to the Wabash City Council for consideration. The council could vote to approve the commission’s recommendation, vote to reject the recommendation, or take no action on the matter. If no action is taken, the commission’s recommendation will become official in 90 days. The change is needed because Peebles
Family Farm officials plan to sell the land to the McWhirt family to construct a veterinary clinic at the site. Floyd McWhirt told the commission his wife’s current practice, Wabash Veterinary Clinic, is outgrowing its current space. The move, he said, would allow for a larger clinic and, possibly, the addition of another veterinarian on the staff.

Wabash County has three; in addition to Roann, Wabash and North Manchester also have the designation. “We’re working with all of them on a regular basis to provide technical support for whatever programs or projects or questions they might have,” Kern said. “We have the experience of seeing how this program works all across the state, so we can hopefully connect
them with different ideas and resources so they can be successful.” For every $1 someone invests in a Main Street program, a $56 return on investment is seen. “That is unheard of in any economic development circle,” Kern said.

Wabash City Schools once again received no public input during a second public hearing Monday night regarding building projects it plans to undertake in 2020. The school board heard, for a second time, a presentation about the projects, as well as a presentation on how much the projects will cost the school district. The plan calls for three separate projects. Brian Bohlender, Vice President of Barton Coe Vilamaa, was on hand to lay out the projects for those in attendance. The first project calls from an expansion of the L.H. Carpenter Early Learning Center. The project will renovate existing rooms in the center for the prekindergarten classes, and add eight new classrooms so that the district can move its kindergarten classes out of O.J. Neighbours Elementary School and into the center. The project will also remove a second floor storage space from the multipurpose room. The plan is to award bids for that project in the winter of 2019, with a ground breaking in the spring of 2020. The project has an estimated
completion date of August of 2021. Jim Elizonda of Stifel went through the financial details for each project. The L.H. Carpenter project will include the borrowing of $7.745 million in the form of bonds. Bohlender also explained the second project, which is an expansion project including the middle school and high school. The project calls for the addition of bleacher space, a balcony, and locker rooms to Coolman Gymnasium, as well as corridor connecting the two schools. In addition, the district plans to make upgrades to its facilities at Alumni Field, including the installation of synthetic turf at the football field, the expansion of the track to eight lanes, the replacement of bleachers and the renovation of bathrooms. That project will include the borrowing of $9.9 million in the form of bonds. The plan is to award bids for that project in the winter of 2019, with a ground breaking in the spring of 2020. That project has an estimated completion date of fall of 2020. An additional $875,000 will be borrowed to complete various maintenance projects around the (continued on page 5)

Setting precedent space.” The site is now owned solely by the Town of Roann. Commissioners signed the property over to the town on Feb. 9. In the past, to change the designation community officials would simply inform OCRA that they wanted to
change the designation from green space to park and leisure. However, that process has been changed over the past year. “Once you designate the property as green space, park, you can’t change that for five years, unless you go through the redesignation process,” Ferguson explained.
“No other town in the State of Indiana, no other project in the State of Indiana has gone through this process. We are going to be the first.” Ferguson said he has been in contact with OCRA officials asking about various steps in the process. “They keep telling me, ‘Well, I don’t

...continued from Page 1 Council members invite residents to attend the hearing and to express their views on the matter. “Those are opinions good or bad,” he said. “Remember, we’re setting a precedent here for the whole state. However Roann does this, that’s the way the whole state’s going to have to do it from now on.” While that could be a daunting task to some, Ferguson is excited by that prospect. “To most people, they’re like, ‘Oh my gosh,’” he said. “To me, that’s exciting, because we are now setting the precedent for the state. That kind of stuff just invigorates me because I’m thinking, ‘Wow, now we’re doing something that’s never been done before and now we’re getting to take the blank canvas and draw on the big, blank canvas, and now we’re setting it up. “From now on, whenever someone wants to change the designation or something like that, they’re going to be calling me saying, ‘What’s the resolution look like?’
Part of the process to change includes sending a drawing about what the proposed change will look like. Ferguson drew the rendition sent to OCRA. “We didn’t want to spend money on architects and engineers and all of that stuff because we didn’t think it was necessary, and OCRA didn’t think it was necessary either,” he said. OCRA officials, according to Ferguson, said the town could vary from the rough drawing, noting they just wanted somewhat of an idea of what the land would be used for. The Roann Little League diamond is part of what would be a 7.6 acre park. “We would like to add some pavilions,” Ferguson said, so people can gather for family reunions and other celebrations. “There would be an area for kids to play. We want to have things for all ages.” A monument using bricks and the entrances to the old school also would be included in the new park. “We don’t really know, because we

know. We’re going to learn this together,” he said. Ferguson and the head of the CDBG program have been working together for about three months on the matter. In order to get the original CDBG grant, a hearing took place in which residents were informed the former school site would be turned into green space. Since town officials know what to change the designation to park and leisure, another hearing must take place. “You want to make sure it can still be used for everyone,” Ferguson said. “When OCRA and HUD and everyone originally approved getting the school razed and making it green space, they kept the opinion of the people of Roann in mind, and they wanted to make sure it could be used by everyone. “Now, we want to make sure we can continue that, and they don’t want you putting in something that can only be used by certain people or by certain groups of people. It can be used by everybody. That’s why the public hearing.”

haven’t discussed, what that monument will look like,” he said. “That’s going to be planned out and we’ll see how that plays out.” Many of the decisions will rely on recommendations from either a parks board or parks council which the town council approved. Ultimately, the council will make the final decision. Following the public hearing, the town council will consider a resolution seeking the change. Once the resolution is approved, it can be sent to OCRA. There, Ferguson expects it to be quickly approved by OCRA. “I’m very, very confident that they’re going to approve it because we’ve worked on this for the last three months together, so I’m sure they’re going to say, ‘This all looks good, let’s go ahead and go with it,” Ferguson said, saying the approval will come within “days” of its submission. “This will only help our community,” he continued. “That was the big thing. We want this to kind of go along with how we tried to do everything else. We want to make Roann a better place to live, grow and play. By getting the park area in this area, it’s going to do all three of those things. It’s going to give the kids a place to go, the parents a place to go, give senior citizens a place to go. “We want to look at all of that and have something in that park for everyone.”

Please check your downspouts and if they do not run into the roadside ditch you could be part of the problem of rain water entering the sanitary sewage lines. The sewage plant has 2 new aeration blowers and a new effluent blower. Last summer
they installed new filters on the water plant. The community is very fortunate to have the quality of water and sewage treatment here in town. Officials also are in contact with the water company trying to get a quit claim deed for the

An ongoing look at Wabash County 4-H 10-year members
4-H Grows... Courtney Gray School: Southwood Parents: Pamela & Lance Gray Future Plans: Attend college to study Baking and Pastry arts 4-H Club: Lucky Horseshoes Favorite 4-H Projects: Foods, Make It with a Mix, Microwave 4-H Grows Resiliency: Completing successful 4-H projects takes not only dedication, but also resiliency, which is a key skill Courtney says she developed during her time in 4H. “4-H taught me resiliency because when a project didn’t turn out right the first time, I learned to start again to get the end result I originally wanted,” Courtney explains. “I made a gluten-free angel food cake, and it didn’t turn out the first couple times I tried to make it, so by constantly remaking it, I learned to not give up if things didn’t turn out right and eventually made the end product I wanted.” In the future, Courtney will be able to apply resiliency to her baking studies after she leaves the 4-H program. Reflecting on her ten years of 4-H, Courtney says that fair week is her favorite “because you get to interact with people from all over the county that you wouldn’t otherwise talk to.”
Abbey Ross School: Northfield Parents: Kevin & Kelly Ross Future Plans: Attend Purdue University to major in Animal Science 4-H Club: Speedy Clovers Favorite 4-H Projects: Swine 4-H Grows Time Management: For many 4-H’ers, the summer is as busy as the school year, making proper time management vital. In the summer, Abbey has to balance sports workouts, babysitting, work, and working with her animals. “I had to set a schedule so I could get everything done that I needed to. If I had a basketball workout in the morning, I would get up earlier so I could feed and walk my animals. If I knew I wouldn’t be able to work my animals twice that day, I would work them longer in the morning,” Abbey explains. “I always make sure I have enough time to work with my animals; they are my priority. I have learned how to manage my time, which will help me tremendously in college and in everyday life!” During her time in 4-H, Abbey’s time management paid off as she says one of her favorite memories is winning Champion Hereford Gilt in 2017 at the Indiana State Fair.
Emily Ogden School: Manchester Parents: Ron & Lora Ogden Future Plans: Attend Indiana Wesleyan University to study Optometry 4-H Club: Squires & Squirettes Favorite 4-H Projects: Goats and Swine 4-H Grows Time Management: “Having the responsibility of raising 4-H animals, as well as extra-curricular activities and school work, forced me to learn the importance of time management, especially once I hit high school,” Emily says. “I quickly learned that although other kids my age could put off their chores in the house, when it comes to chores in the barn, young and growing animals need constant care. I learned how to balance sports, dance, parttime jobs, and academics while still preparing my animals for the fair.” The time management skills Emily developed in 4-H will be essential to her college career. “4-H taught me how to manage all my responsibilities while still setting aside time for school work and earning good grades.” Reflecting back on ten years, Emily says that getting new animals in the spring is a favorite 4-H memory.
Brandon Wagoner School: Manchester Parents: Mark & Julie Wagoner Future Plans: Attend Ivy Tech College in Indianapolis to major in Nursing 4-H Club: Laketon Cloverleaves Favorite 4-H Projects: Beef 4-H Grows Leadership: Participation in 4H provides many opportunities for students to lead and develop lasting relationships. One of the ways Brandon gained leadership experience during his ten years in 4-H is through passing on his knowledge and experience to mini 4H’ers. “My favorite thing to help with is meat birds,” says Brandon. “I’ve had great successes and enjoy sharing my knowledge.” Brandon’s willingness to be a role model to younger 4-H members and his ability to lead through sharing experience will benefit him when he begins studying for a nursing degree in the fall. Reflecting on his time in 4-H, Brandon says it is developing lasting relationships that stands out to him. Brandon says, “I’ve experienced and learned that all 4-H members are like a family, and after ten years of going to the county fair, I’ve made countless relationships with people that I otherwise would not have met.”

Scholarship created to honor late educator The family of educator George Price has created the George W. Price Scholarship Fund to reward reading in the fourth grade at OJ N e i g h b o u r s Elementary School by funding Early Award Scholarships as a part of the Community Foundation’s Early Award Scholarship Program “Our father would have loved promoting educational success with financial awards for elementary students,” said Jeffrey Price, George’s son. “The program of early support for future educational success speaks of our father’s passions to
encourage young learners. Dad lived and modelled learning in everything he did.” Price was a graduate of Wabash High School and earned teaching degrees from Ball State University. He served in the Army in World War II and the Korean War. After the military, Price taught at several schools, eventually returning to Wabash City Schools and finally MSD of Wabash County. When he retired in 1985, he continued to work to better his community through service on boards and through his faith. Participating
fourth grade O.J. Neighbours students who complete all reading assignments in Quarters 1 and 2 with scores of 70 percent or better can earn $10 each quarter. Additionally, students can earn $20 in each Quarter 3 and 4 by completing all reading assignments with scores of 70 percent or better and meeting their STAR goal for the year. Through the creation of this scholarship, his family exemplifies Mr. Price’s dedication to serving others and his passion for education. “We are grateful for the Price family for their embrace of this new and innovative
model to foster school and engagement and future educational opportunities by providing scholarships early,” said Patty Grant, Executive Director of the C o m m u n i t y Foundation. “With focus on the fourth grade, Prices have chosen the innovative early award scholarship model. Research indicates that students with college and career savings accounts are three times more likely to pursue education after high school. Having these accounts influences how children think about their future and encourages expectations.” Cindi Price reflects on her late husband’s passion for education and helping young people. “He saw potential
in every student and worked to create opportunities for them,” she said. “He never had selfish motives; everything he did was all about his students.” Creating this scholarship will allow Mr. Price’s legacy to live on by helping students develop aspirations for life-long learning and creating opportunities for students for years to come. Community members wishing to contribute to the George W. Price Scholarship Fund in memory of Price may make taxdeductible contributions to the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County, 105 West Second Street, Suite 100, North Manchester, 46962 or online at www.cfwabash.org.

Beyond Meat! Laura Kurella
Being a foodie, I have had all kinds of things cross my plate, both carnivore and herbivore alike. However, I have come to find that most people, no matter what side of the farm their fork is flung into, find a familiarity and opinion about the word, “vegan.” To most it infers a healthier way of eating that is flanked by multiple vegan, meat “mock” over products that don’t taste near as good as the meat that most
age my father was when his vascular health took him away, I decided to try eating a vegan breakfast product. However, after about two months, and thanks to a doctor, I discovered that the vegan product’s main ingredient (wheat gluten) might be what was triggering the inflammation that was becoming chronic in my arm – indeed! Fleeing from this miserable meat “mock” over experience, with barely the bitter taste out of my mouth, I ran smack-dab into a new line of vegan burgers – Beyond Meat. A plant-based burger designed to look, taste and cook just like the real thing, this now very skeptical gal was now smart enough to first read its label and was thrilled to see that it has no gluten or soy and is also GMO-free! Offering as much protein as an animal-sourced meat, this burger gets its nutrients from plants, specifically pea protein. Featuring trace amounts of other good things like
beet, which gives it a beefy red color and even a little bleeding, we decided to take these burgers for a “taste” drive and oh-my-goodness, do taste good, In fact, they are darn near to the real thing – Thank you Lord! Tender, juicy, flavorful and nutrient forward, I found that Beyond Meat delivers the same meaty tenderness and texture I have experienced in Kobe Beef. Priced at what you’d expect to pay for a good burger when dining out, we found they are well worth the cost because they are so satiating and flavor-intense throughout. So good, in fact, that I am sure my red-meat-loving father would have snapped them right up! Go beyond your vegan expectations and serve up a “vascular-friendly” and flavorful Father’s Day feast featuring a new plant protein in town that has most definitely gone beyond meat! Find more about them, their products and recipes at Beyondmeat.com. Happy Father’s Day!
of us would prefer to be eating! Desiring to make better dietary choices for myself, especially now that I have reached the
Vegan-n-Out Burger 2 Beyond Meat vegan patties Vegan American cheese slices sliced tomato leaf lettuce white onion slices 1 tsp vegan butter salt and pepper 2 vegan hamburger buns* In-N-Out style Secret Sauce 1/4 cup vegan mayo 2 tablespoons ketchup 1 tablespoon sweet relish 1 teaspoon yellow mustard 1 teaspoon white vinegar 1 teaspoon sugar To prepare the secret sauce, whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl. Lightly toast the buns. Season the thawed patties with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium high heat and melt the vegan butter in the pan. Cook the patties for 3 minutes on one side then flip. Layer the cheese on the patties and cover the pan so the cheese melts. Cook for 3 more minutes. Build the vegan burgers with lettuce, tomato, onion, and 1 Tbsp secret sauce. (You will have leftover sauce.) To make the burgers Double style, divide each thawed patty into two parts. Form them into balls then smash them into 1/4- inch thick patties. Cook each patty for 2 minutes on each side, melting the cheese on top after flipping. Build the burgers with two patties, and desired toppings. To make the burgers Animal style, spread a layer of yellow mustard on the patties before cooking them in the pan then include sliced pickles and grilled onions when building the burgers. *=Can substitute a ramen noodle (or glutenfree rice noodle) bun in its place. Find Ramen recipe at beyondmeat.com.
Meaty, juicy and as delicious as it looks, today’s newer plant-based products, like this Beyond Meat vegan burger, are finally, thank God, bringing an oh-so-flavorful improvement to the vegan niche of meat “mock” over food! Photos courtesy of Beyond Meat
Beyond Breakfast Sandwich 2 Beyond Burger patties 2 potato pancakes or hash brown patties 2 slices vegan cheddar cheese 1/2 avocado, sliced 1/2 cup bell pepper, sliced and sautéed 2 English muffins, toasted 1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place favorite store bought potato pancakes or hash browns in oven. Follow heating instructions on package. While the potatoes are cooking, pre-heat a pan to medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the Beyond Burger patties for 3 minutes per side. Interior of product may still be red or pink when fully cooked, do not overcook. Remove the burgers from pan.
Add olive oil to hot pan and sauté bell peppers until they are caramelized. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the cooked Beyond Burger patties on the baking sheet and top with cheddar cheese. Broil for 1-2 minutes until melted. Make sure you watch carefully as broilers cook quickly and cooking times can vary. Toast the English muffins and then stack each with burger, bell pepper, potato pancake and avocado.
BBQ Beef Beyond Burger Sliders 1 package of the Beyond Burger 3 tablespoons of olive oil 2 tablespoons of white onion, minced 2 large garlic cloves, minced 2 cups of BBQ sauce 1 teaspoon of salt 1 teaspoon of pepper
1 package of Pret-zilla mini buns 2 tablespoon of sweet pickle relish 6 slices of vegan American cheese 6 slices of vegan cheddar cheese 3 tablespoons of vegan butter, melted Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium skillet, heat olive oil on medium high. Place patties on skillet and with a wooden spoon or fork, mash patties until they resemble a ground beef-like texture. Add onion and garlic. Cook until onions are translucent. About 4 minutes. Add BBQ sauce, salt and pepper and Tapatio sauce to taste. Set aside. In a small, shallow baking sheet, lay bottom halves of slider buns side by side. Spread bottom halves with sweet pickle relish until evenly coated. Follow with a layer of American cheese, BBQ beef and cheddar cheese. Place top of buns on each slider and brush with vegan butter. Bake for 7 minutes or once cheese has completely melted. Serve immediately.

The children’s eyes grew big when the LaFontaine Fire Department trucks cruised around the corner. “The people of this community have endured so much weather-wise,” Parade Director Christopher Hensley said, in reference to the abundance of rain and storms this summer. “It’s nice to have something positive for the community.”
Hensley enjoys directing the parade, saying it is like a puzzle when putting it together, but an absolute joy to watch when the pieces snap into place and the picture becomes clear. There are rumors throughout the town that this would be the last Ashland Days Festival. According to Hensley, only time will tell. “I’m not sure if it’s true or not. They are looking for someone new to head the festival. At this point, it’s too early to tell. But I really hope it’s not the last one. I think our community needs events like this.”

DNR seeks public input on historic preservation From the DNR
The DNR Division of Historic Preservation & Archaeology (DHPA) is conducting an online survey to gather public input regarding upcoming projects and initiatives. Indiana’s Cultural R e s o u r c e s Management Plan is a comprehensive state plan that guides local preservationists, DNR staff, and everyday citizens in their efforts to preserve Indiana’s wide variety of heritage resources, such as historic downtowns and neighborhoods, bridges, cemeteries, schools, round barns, theaters, rural communities and landscapes, and archaeological sites. DHPA is currently revising its plan for 2020-2026. Feedback from constituents helps ensure that DHPA’s preservation programs, commitment of staff resources, and expenditure of federal funds are responsive to the needs of communities all across Indiana. Access the survey o n l i n e at dnr.IN.gov/historic/10147.htm. Those without Internet access can connect to the survey at any public library, or they can request that a paper copy be mailed to them by calling Steve Kennedy at 317-2326981. Completed survey forms must be returned to the DHPA by June 30.

From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER – The degree program in marketing at M a n c h e s t e r University has been ranked No. 1 in Indiana as a “Best Value for the Money” in the annual nationwide ranking of U.S. colleges and universities by College Factual. M a n c h e s t e r University has achieved this ranking two years in a row. The program at Manchester is also ranked No. 16 out of 402 programs at colleges and universities in the United States. This places M a n c h e s t e r University’s marketing program in the top 5 percent of all such programs in the
nation reviewed by College Factual. “The marketing program is currently the strongest that I have seen it in my 28 years at Manchester,” said Tim Ogden, dean of the Arthur L. Gilbert College of Business. “The faculty are outstanding and bring a wide variety of professional experiences to their work. The program has greater depth and breadth than in earlier years, and students are held to high standards,” he said. “The faculty require the students to complete a significant amount of project work for real business clients, and this translates to success following graduation.” Based upon PayScale survey data, students graduating

Office of Student Financial Services, the Business Office, and all of the folks in Students Affairs. It is a real team effort. “Finally, and most i m p o r t a n t l y, Manchester has incredible students. They are smart, they work hard, they accept responsibility, and they do not cut corners. Together, this is a potent combination, and it produces results.” College Factual’s Best Marketing Schools for the Money ranking takes into account the average yearly cost of the school, the average time students take to graduate, and the quality the school provides to students. This means schools that rank highly are offering a good value for the money.

She was devoted to providing very healthy food for her family that she raised in her garden and ground wheat for her famous bread. She is survived by her husband and sons Steven in Goodyear, Ariz., James Paul (Amy) in Owensboro, Ky., and Adam Willcox in Folsom, Calif. Four grandchildren survive: Steven Jr., Alex, Emma, and Abby Willcox. Sue’s sister, Ann (Don) Gillespie, Wabash, also survives. At age 48, Sue returned to college, made the Dean’s List, and received an Associate’s degree in Nursing from IU East. She practiced nursing in Greenfield for 15 years, sharing her compassion and heart with all those around her. In retirement, she enjoyed interior decorating, making art projects, traveling, and volunteering for her church and clubs in Arizona. Sue relished the time spent with her family, especially her grandchildren. Her eager and infectious laugh will be missed by all those who knew her. A Celebration of Life for Sue Willcox will take place at two locations with receptions to follow: In Indiana at Wilkinson Church of Christ on Sept. 14, 2019, at 5 p.m. and in Arizona at Sun City West Christian Church on Oct. 19, 2019, at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in support of missionary work. Missions that Sue worked to support are available at bit.ly/scwmissions. Wabash City Police Citations May 29 Kenny R. Stapleton, 52, Wabash, cited for speed. Dustin T.

Duke supports Honeywell program: The Honeywell Foundation recently kicked off its Visual Thinking Strategies program in Boulevard Elementary’s third grade classrooms. During the 2019-20 school year, the Honeywell Education & Outreach team will visit twice each month to lead the students in facilitated conversations about works of art that will help them strengthen their communication, critical thinking and language arts skills. “Studies have shown time and again the value of incorporating art into the school curriculum,” said Kevin Johnston, Duke Energy’s Government & Community Relations Manager for north central Indiana. “Arts education teaches creativity, improves motor skills and leads to improved academic performance. Duke Energy is proud to support arts-in-education initiatives like the Educational Outreach Program.” Pictured behind the students are Kevin Johnston and Teresa Galley, Director of Education and Outreach for the Honeywell Foundation.

Indrutz, Matt Mindach, Tyler Olson, Erin Sapusek, Lindsey Wilson, and Cody Waldron; 10 Years: Chris Beauchamp, Kate Carter, Tim Dillon, Tabatha Fairchild, Jeff Galley, and Dan Stith; 20 Years: Vanessa Daughtry and Linda Whinery; 30 Years: Dan Engle and Janet Sparks. Tim Dillon received the 20182019 Support Staff of the Year Award. He was nominated by his peers for this award. One nomination noted: “He works tirelessly around the building to keep it looking beautiful and keep everyone safe. Whenever there are special programs he works so far in advance and has things done before you even ask him, he then asks what else he can do to help. He is a hero to every boy and girl that has lost a Frisbee or football on the roof – always looking to return it to its rightful owner!” Another nomination wrote: “His daily work directly impacts the Five Pillars of Wabash City Schools. Daily you can see him talking with the stu-
dents, building relationships while always having a smile and chuckle, never once having a bad thing to say. His role is not easy and the cleanliness of the facility directly results in the students’ wellness which in turn provides an environment where the students can achieve academically. His example of hard work, dedication to duty, politeness to others and service above self, sets the standard for Citizenship. As a whole, Tim Dillon exemplifies what Wabash City Schools and Building a Legacy of Opportunity for All.” The true embodiment of Tim’s deserving this award is that – in spite of facing serious life threatening illness, Tim’s positivity, commitment to work, and faith shine through every day and he is truly an inspiration for all! ast year’s Joseph Ulery Teacher of the year recipient, Jen Smith, presented the 2018-2019 Teacher of the Year Award to O.J. Neighbours Teacher Melva McLane. McLane was nominated by
her peers for this award. McLane is wrapping up her 11th year at OJ Neighbours Elementary School. This year she opted to transfer from 2nd grade to 1st grade so she could teach the Spanish portion of the Spanish Dual L a n g u a g e Immersion program. She is one of the hardest working individuals at O.J. Neighbours. She is the face and team leader of the district’s Dual L a n g u a g e Immersion program and takes on that role all while teaching our sweet first grade students – in Spanish. She has helped the district refine its practices, hire qualified individuals, mentor teachers and discover new conferences and schools to visit and build relationships with all to ensure the success of the program. Kathy Wilson received the 20182019 Administrator of the Year Award. Wilson was nominated by her peers for the award. Wilson began her career in a 3rd grade position at Miami Elementary and has taught in five different buildings. She will be starting her 33rd year in her 6th build-
ing at L.H. Carpenter as the new L.H. Carpenter Early C h i l d h o o d Education Director. A veteran kindergarten teacher, Wilson fought to create a classroom to help children with social and emotional challenges, regulating behaviors and working diligently to get them back into the classroom so learning was not lost. She supports the Wabash City Schools mission by ensuring each of the district’s pillars are present with every decision she makes at OJ Neighbours and L.H. Carpenter. She works hard at developing and strengthening relationships with students, staff and the community.

It’s the responsibility of each motorist to do there part to help ensure a safe work environment in construction zones. By following the above tips and practicing general courtesies, we can make our roadways and construction zones safer for all us.
