County Cancer Society sells mini flowers to raise donations By Sarah Peters
The Wabash County Cancer Society (WCCS)
volunteers are thankful to have the opportunity to spend their time at the 4H Fair this
week selling mini flowers to help the organization and its patients. Local artist Michael Hapner, gave $500 worth of art to the WCCS to help raise donations. “Today I would like to announce that I am gifting 50 of my reuse mini flowers to Wabash County Cancer Society,” Hapner said. “All proceeds of sales going to help their funding and more awareness about them
in Wabash County where all monies stay to help those in many ways.” The mini flowers have a variety of colors and patterns in each design, which Hapner did consciously. “I will not be using one specific color,” Hapner said. “This devastating disease doesn’t recognize color, age, or gender.” Each mini flower costs $10, making the total worth of the flowers
available for sale $500. While the County Cancer Society receives funding from the community, this extra $500 will go a long way for the organization and the cancer patients they help. “There seems to be a a high percentage of cancer in Wabash,” Theresa Sites, head of the WCCS volunteers, said. “It definitely brings some relief to our patients for them to know that someone is out there who cares.” Some insurance covers a portion of the patients’ medication charges, but not all of it, and the amount of gas it takes to get to and from their frequent appointments adds up quickly and is a struggle for a lot of people. Therefore, the money will all be used to reimburse the patients and their families. Right now, the WCCS reimburses the patients’ prescription charges, but only up to $150 per month. With $500 more, they can relieve some of this financial stress and reimburse about 10 cancer patients per month for mileage. “The basic need of cancer patients is mileage to get back and forth
A sample of some of the flowers Michael “Hap” Hapner donated to the Wabash County Cancer Society. Photo provided from appointments,” Sites said. “Gas costs a lot of money, so about %60 of the donations will go toward mileage, and the other %40 will go toward medications. It’s all reimbursements.” The Wabash County Cancer Society is in no way involved with the American Cancer Society. The WCCS consists strictly of volunteers and it is their desire to help the cancer patients of Wabash
County in any way they can. “Our motto is ‘We Care’, and we do care, both financially and spiritually.” Sites said. The Wabash County Cancer Society volunteers will have a table set up by the Show Arena at the Wabash County 4H Fair Grounds during the a f t e r n o o n / eve n i n g , Monday through Thursday, selling Hapner’s reuse mini flowers for $10 each.

Proceeds to benefit Special Olympics of Wabash County By The Paper staff Northern Indiana Aviation has announced its annual “Summer Nights Cruise-In” for July 23 from 5-8 p.m. at the Wabash Municipal Airport, 238 W 400S. Proceeds from this event benefit the Special Olympics of Wabash County. Doug Adams, Wabash County Coordinator for the Special Olympics, explained what the funds raised will be used for. “Just like any other budget, it takes a given amount of money to run a program. There is a basic budget that is required to get us
through a given year. Additional money allows us to provide our athletes with some little extras like matching shirts and shorts for summer games,” said Adams. “It costs approximately $250 to fund an athlete who participates in all of our sports annually.” Abby Hoy, who has coordinated the even the past two years, said, “The growth we saw last year at the Cruise-In was tremendous, which has opened up some new opportunities for us. We are excited to include Waldo Wright’s Flying Services to the agenda this year. They will be offering open cock-
pit biplane rides for $75 per flight.” Hoy went on to mention that the “City Rides” will still be available for $10 each in a closed cockpit plane. Both of these options donate proceeds to the event and are available from 10 a.m. to dusk at the Wabash Municipal Airport. The Cruise-In is free of charge for both attendees and participants; free will donations will be accepted. Car registration will be from 5-7 p.m. with the first 50 cars receiving a dash plaque. Winners will be announced at 8 p.m. with trophies awarded for the top
twenty cars and “Athlete’s Choice”. There will be live music and pulled pork dinners from Poole’s Meat Market available for $5 each. There will also be raffle prizes from many different local businesses. Tickets will sell for $1 each or 6 for $5. This event is presented by Lutheran Health Network and additionally sponsored by American Structurepoint, City of Wabash, BIT Computers, 5-hour Energy, Brandt’s Harley Davidson, First Farmers Bank and Trust, Beacon Credit Union, Crossroads Bank, Visit Wabash County,

CEDIT shouldn’t fund bike trail Dear Editor: We’ve recently read about the request for $1.2 million from CEDIT funds for the proposed Phase 1 of the Wabash River Trail (WRT). We are definitely against any county property or income tax funds being used for this.
We believe we need property, local income, and CEDIT county taxes to go down, not up, as it appears we are being forced by the state to spend more on prisoner health and containment and that it will not go down! We also believe that this trail will
cost much more later in other phases and maintenance ongoing. We feel that this trail may start out being somewhat used, but will then be used infrequently and also will be a possible venue for muggings and robberies since it will be isolated at points on
the trail. (Wabash County Council President Mike) Ridenour’s comment: “If there were a truer investment in economic development, I don’t know what it’d be,” shows the lack of his vision and effort to get more real jobs to Wabash County. We
doubt that CEO’s of factories or high tech business put much of their economic business relocation decisions based on a bike trail. Again, we would appreciate you lowering our taxes, not raising them. — Robert and Leslie Patterson, Lagro

Routine patrol leads to 2 facing drug charges By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com A routine patrol by the Wabash County S h e r i f f ’ s Department led to the arrest of two Wabash County residents on drug related charges. On at approximately 10 p.m. on Wednesday, July 6, Sgt. Daniel Johnson and Deputy Mat Galligan observed a passenger car abruptly turn east into an alley off of Adams Street, according to the probable cause affidavit. “Deputy Galligan advised that he believed that the registered owner of the car was Derrick S. Winstead, (31, Urbana,) who’s driving status is habitual traffic violator,” Johnson said in the affidavit. “Based upon Deputy Galligan’s personal knowledge of the vehicle, registered owner’s driving status as well as the sudden turn into the alley as the vehicle was approaching my commission from behind, I circled around the block attempting to locate the car.” The passenger car eventually parked in front of a residence in the 1400 block of Middle Street when the driver, who was later positively identified as Winstead, exited the vehicle and walked up to the front door while an unknown woman remained in the passenger seat, Johnson continued. Shortly after, dispatch confirmed Winstead’s driving status and that he was the registered owner of the vehicle, according to the affidavit. After knocking on

the residence’s door with no answer, Winstead began to return to his vehicle when he noticed Johnson’s police car, the court documents continued. “As he noticed my commission, he quickly turned back around and headed back to the house,” Johnson said. “At the time, the female exited the front passenger seat of the car and started walking toward the house where the male was. “I then pulled my commission forward to maintain a better visual of both the male and female. As I did, I was unable to see the male and believed he had either ran on foot or had possibly entered the residence. In observing the female, who didn’t enter the residence, I believed the male had ran from the area.”
The officers then spoke to the woman, who was identified as Sandra E. Stapleton, 43, Wabash, according to the court documents. “While speaking with Sandra, Deputy Matt Cox arrived on scene with his police K-9 Cato to assist further as we attempted to locate the driver, Derrick Winstead, as identified by Sandra,” Johnson said. “Deputy Cox deployed Cato for a free air sniff on the car and advised me that there was a positive alert on the vehicle.” Cox and Johnson conducted a procedural vehicle inventory search before having the car removed by a tow truck, the affidavit continued. Under the passenger seat, Johnson located numerous substances that test-

ed positive for methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine as well as prescription medication, a syringe, and a green/brown plantlike substance that field-tested positive for THC. Officers eventually located Winstead at his residence in the 400 block of Columbus Street. Stapleton and Winstead were both arrested on drugrelated charges. Stapleton was charged with felony possession of a narcotic drug, felony possession of cocaine, felony possession of methamphetamine, felony unlawful possession of a syringe, misdemeanor possession of a schedule I, II, III or IV controlled substance, misdemeanor possession of marijuana and misdemeanor visiting a common nuisance. Winstead was charged with felony habitual traffic violator, felony possession of methamphetamine, felony possession of a narcotic drug, felony possession of cocaine,
felony unlawful possession of a syringe, misdemeanor maintaining a common nuisance, misde-
meanor possession of a schedule I, II, III or IV controlled substance, misdemeanor possession
of marijuana and felony petition to revoke bond on habitual traffic violator charge.

NM man charged in auto theft investigation By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER – A North Manchester man was arrested for auto theft on Wednesday, July 6, after a NAPA Auto Parts employee reported a delivery vehicle missing Wednesday afternoon. According to a press release by North Manchester Police Chief Steve Olsen: At approximately 12:13 p.m., an employee from the auto store, located at 708 W. Main St., notified the NMPD that the business’s delivery vehicle had been stolen from the front of the facility. The vehicle taken
was a 2012 Ford Focus. Responding officers were given a description of a possible suspect. NMPD Det. James Kirk went to Casey’s General Store and viewed a video of the suspect, who was in the store just prior to the incident. At approximately 1:21 p.m., Olsen spotted the Ford Focus at J a m e s t o w n Apartments. He saw a male matching the description of the suspect standing outside the sidewalk. Olsen, who was in an unmarked vehicle, stayed by the entrance of the apartment complex waiting for assisting police units when he saw the stolen vehicle drive away.
LOPEZ The chief followed the vehicle and radioed the vehicle’s to incoming units. When the vehicle turned onto State Road 13, Wabash County Sheriff ’s Deputy Steve Hicks got behind the vehicle and pursued it. The Ford Focus stopped once on Villa Court, but, as Hicks
started to get out of his marked police car, the vehicle fled. Hicks and NMPD Sgt. Greg Tomlinson pursued the vehicle. The Ford Focus headed north on SR 13 before it turned west on 1000 South in Kosciusko County and turned north on Packerton Road. The vehicle came to a stop at 700 South and the driver was taken into custody without incident by Hicks and Tomlinson. The driver of the vehicle, Samuel Lopez, of North Manchester, was charged with theft of an auto, resisting law enforcement, reckless driving and various traffic violations.
PASTA class possible in NM By The Paper staff Since January, A PASTA support group (Parents A Second Time Around) has been meeting twice a month from 10 a.m. to noon at the Wabash YMCA. PASTA offers support, resources, and education to older adults who are parenting again to a second generation. The class follows a proven educational curriculum and offers those attending a chance to have a licensed facilitator lead a time for sharing common concerns. Participants learn they are not alone as they share
problems and discuss solutions. The group was organized by Wabash County Mental Health America with funding by the Area 5 Agency on Aging and C o m m u n i t y Services. Friends Counseling Center in Wabash helped with initial start up costs and has been supportive throughout. In addition, the Wabash YMCA has provided a meeting room and child care free of charge. Mental Health America of Wabash County is now partnering with Carole Miller-Patrick, M a n c h e s t e r
University Director of Student Service Opportunities, to determine interest in adding a North M a n c h e s t e r Evening PASTA class this Fall. Manchester residents can expect to see Miller-Patrick and some of her students promoting the program and getting information to interested individuals throughout the summer at Community Dinners and other local events or, if interested, they should contact MHA of Wabash County, 41 W Canal St, Wabash IN 46992

FROM THE “FRIENDS OF THE OLD LAFONTAINE CEMETERY” During the last couple of weeks, Mark Davis from Stone Saver Cemetery Restoration has worked in the Old LaFontaine Cemetery. Through the private pays and the funds our group received late last summer and fall, fortyeight tablets and monuments have been cleaned, repaired and straightened. Work was made possible through a $2500 grant from the Wabash County C o m m u n i t y Foundation, $500 from the Beacon Credit Union’s “Project Spotlight”, $2000 from graduates of the Old LaFontaine High School, $3775 from private pay and $1500 from the general fund of Liberty Township as an exchange for mowing. Most of these markers were broken or damaged and required the services provided by this professional restorer. Volunteers will continue to level, straighten and clean as time allows, doing what we can be done to reduce the funding requirements. They have also completed a tripod for use in straightening monuments/markers. The labor and materials were donated by Bob Goodpasture and F J Rettig & Son. The group needs volunteers who are charitable in nature and physically able to handle the work that needs to be done. The next work day will be Saturday, July 23, at 9 a.m. It has started applying for funds from Beacon Credit Union’s

2 area Wendy’s among those suspected of being hacked By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com
Wendy’s in Peru and Warsaw were among the more than 1,000 restaurants that may have had credit card information hacked. Company officials released the locations of 1,025 restaurants that were “potentially affected” by the hack. There are more than 6,500 Wendy’s across the United States. The hacking involved restaurants in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. The Wabash Wendy’s was not included on the list. That, according to the company website, means that restaurant “has not been identified as affected by our forensic investigation.” “We sincerely apologize to anyone who has been inconvenienced as a result of these highly sophisticated criminal cyberattacks,” Wendy’s President and CEO Todd Penegor said in a release issued July 7. “We have conducted a rigorous investigation to understand what has happened and we are committed to protecting our customers and keeping you informed.” The company had already announced it discovered a hack in February. The stolen data includes cardholder name, credit or debit card number and expiration date. The company says it doesn’t know how many customers had their data compromised in the hack, which started sometime in the late fall of 2015. Wendy’s is offering to provide credit monitoring services and other protections to customers for up to a year. “In May, we confirmed that we had found evidence of malware being installed on some restaurants’ point-ofsale systems, and had worked with our investigator to dis-
able it,” Penegor said. “That malware has also been disabled in all franchisee restaurants where it has been discovered. We believe that both criminal cyberattacks resulted from service providers’ remote access credentials being compromised, allowing access – and the ability to deploy malware – to some franchisees’ point-of-sale systems.” He recommended that customers “remain vigilant for incidents of fraud and identity theft” by reviewing credit card account state-
ments and monitoring credit reports for unauthorized activity.” Customers with questions or who would like more information should call 866-779-0485 from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. CST Monday through Friday, excluding major holidays. “In a world where malicious cyberattacks have unfortunately become all too common for merchants, we are committed to doing what is necessary to protect our customers,” Penegor said. “We will continue to work diligently with our

City orders Miami Street home demolished By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com
The Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety had hearings on five different structures around the city on Thursday afternoon. In the end, just one of the structures, a house at 494 N. Miami St., was ordered demolished. The structure is owned by Begler Properties of Pueblo, Colo. B u i l d i n g Commissioner John Stephens said the vacant structure had foundation problems, holes in the roof, trash in the yard and an opened crawl space. The board also learned that the city has a lien against the property for mowing the lawn from 20082012, and that it has resumed mowing the lawn at the property. Stephens said the home is vacant and has become dilapidat-
ed because of the lack of maintenance. Other properties that were discussed were at 421 N. Cass St., 107 Walnut St., 453 E. Main St., and 645 Washington St. The owners of the Cass Street home, William and Vickie Tackett, told the board they plan to sign a quick claim deed to a neighbor, Armando Guerrero. Guerrero told the board that he plans to fix a hole in the roof and repair any other problems with the structure. He received 30 days to repair the roof. Joseph Harter, owner of the Walnut Street home, told the board that he would like to deed the property over to the city. If that is done, Mayor Scott Long said, city workers could then demolish the home and save funds. The site, he added, could possibly be turned over to Habitat for
Humanity, which is looking for a new location to build a home next year. Stephens was ordered to report on the property transfer at the next board meeting. The owners of the properties at East Main Street and Washington Street, Justin Brooks and Harold Burns, respectively, were ordered to appear before the board because they violated previous board orders to repair their properties. Stephens reported that Brooks failed to side the west side of his home, as ordered to do last year by the board. Brooks said the west side of the house is indeed sided, however it is cement siding boards to meet fire code, and it simply needs to be painted. He was ordered to have the siding painted by the July 21 board meeting. Stephens said that
Burns had failed to meet a schedule he provided the board last year. Burns told the board that he works on the house when he can, but had two deaths in the family that has prevented him from doing so as often as he would have liked. He also said that a gentleman helping him make the repairs recently had a medical condition which prevented him from helping. He said the man is expected to be later this month and work could hopefully continue. The board ordered Burns to report back in 90 days. In one other structure-related matter, the board praised John Davis, owner of property on Middle Street, for the work he has done to bring the structure up to code. Stephens suggested, and the board agreed, to remove the restrictions the city placed on the Davis.
Laketon couple faces felony drug charges By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com
LAKETON – A Laketon couple was arrested Friday, July 1, on felony drug-related charges following a police search. Tina M. Ramirez, 37, and Timothy L. Burkett Jr., 37, were booked on felony charges after officers from the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department executed a search warrant on their residence at 45 W. Lake St. in Laketon. According to the probable cause affidavit, a search and arrest warrant was issued on Ramirez and Burkett’s residence on July 1 at approximately 3:26 a.m. During the search, officers located three long-guns including a 12-gauge shotgun, a .308 caliber rifle and a .50 caliber muzzleloader; a .635 caliber handgun and several items related to methamphetamine, the documents continued. A clear baggie containing a white or clear crystal substance in the couple’s bedroom trashcan tested positive for methamphetamine, according to Deputy Matt Cox. “Both the bedroom

ished. For more details, see the July 13 issue of The Paper of Wabash County.

In her new position, she will focus on the museum’s financial development and assist with some of the museum’s operations and programming, according to Mitch Figert, WCHM executive director.

Grissom’s new commander sworn in... continued from page 17 While at Grissom, the Gothenburg, Nebraska, native found himself assigned to various positions as he moved up the ranks, eventually becoming the 434th Operations Support Squadron commander. His career path changed in 2013 when he became the 927th Operations Group commander at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida. Following a short stint there, he became the Deputy Director of Air, Space and I n f o r m a t i o n Operations at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia in 2015. It was a who’s who of 434th ARW history at the change of command as former
wing commanders and key staff members turned out to welcome Shaw into his new position. “It’s because of [previous commanders’] dedication to this base and traditions that have been passed down to our Airmen why our wing continues to thrive,” he added. Manned by nearly 1,900 military, civilian and contractor personnel and two flying squadrons, Shaw said he is honored to take command of the largest K C - 1 3 5 R Stratotanker unit in the Air Force Reserve Command. “When our nation called, the 434th [ARW] answers,” he continued. “Today is the beginning of a
new day, a new month and a new chapter in this distinguished history of the 434th ARW. You have my promise that I will do my very best to lead this wing so when our nation calls, we will not fall.”

Deluxe Corporation announces marketing seminar date By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com
~ QUALITY FABRICS ~ Specializing in cottons for quilting 1604 S. Wabash St. • Wabash 260-563-3505 www.colorsgonewild.com
D e l u x e Corporation’s marketing seminar has been set. On Thursday, July 21, Deluxe will host a free, open-to-the-public seminar for Wabash County and surrounding commu-
nities’ residence at the Honeywell Center. The seminar will provide information on generating online business, utilizing social media and more without any cost to the attendees, according to Christine Flohr, Wabash County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau executive director of tourism. “This is a way for a Fortune 500 company, who are elite marketing professionals, to share the information with anybody that wants to garner that knowledge,” Flohr said. The seminar will be part one of two the Deluxe’s Small Business Revolution grand finale. In May, Wabash won
the Minnesota-based company’s Small Business Revolution competition and received a $500,000 grand prize in goods and services from the company. However, following Wabash’s naming as victor on May 12, Amanda Brinkman, Deluxe’s chief marketing officer, told the audience, “We originally talked about this as being a makeover to a Main Street. What I’m touched by, especially in Wabash, is you don’t need a makeover. Perhaps you just need a little enhancement.” Since then, Deluxe representatives have met with local business owners and community representatives to provide mar-

keting advice and insight. On Thursday, July 7, Flohr told The Paper of Wabash County the competition’s “focus was to invest in a Main Street, which is the national term for ‘downtown.’ “So because it was Main Street or downtown focused, there were a handful of businesses getting one-on-one marketing advice and services and products,” Flohr explained, “and so Deluxe decided that, even though the original program outlined just investing one-onone with a handful of businesses, the way that Wabash was so responsive to being recipients of this gift, they thought, ‘What can we do to offer strategic marketing insight to everyone?’ “And this (seminar) is the way they’re able to do that. … Their response to this program has been, ‘How can we do more?’ And that has been their approach through this entire (time).” Without Deluxe, it would not be possible to host a marketing seminar of this scale for free, according to Flohr. “First of all beyond facilities and rental space, to hire an expert of this level you’re looking at no less than $5,000 a head,” she explained. “So you’re renting the Ford Theatre, $25,000 grand in presenters
plus getting them here so air fare and overnight accommodations … and (Deluxe) is hosting a free breakfast for everyone that attends. “Something like this would be an easy $50,000 and then you have to recoup your cost. If you’re hosting a marketing seminar of this caliper in a world-class theatre, you’re at the expense rates and then you have to charge.” This seminar is completely free, Flohr emphasized. “And, this is what’s really great, over and over again we keep sharing the same message. Deluxe Corporation has asked us for nothing but our time,” she continued. “Can you help us? Connect us? Other than that, they’ve worked tirelessly to listen to our community, our leadership, our business owners and respond.” Throughout their involvement, the corporation has followed the adage “Give a manage to fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime,” according to Flohr. “They aren’t doing the marketing strategy work for us. They’re giving us instruction on how to accomplish it,” she explained, “and then these businesses are having to do and execute the marketing strategies so it’s a learning technique.” The Deluxe Marketing Seminar will be no different. From 8 a.m. to noon, Deluxe marketing experts will provide information on engaging customers, attracting new customers and developing an online presence in five sessions. A complimentary breakfast will also be served at 7:30 a.m. when registration opens. Each session will focus on different aspects of marketing strategies. Session one “How to Generate More Business Online” will act as an introduction to online marketing and will take a high level look at the possibilities and benefits of using online tools. Attendees will also receive insight into recognizing the different elements that make a marketing and operations plan based (continued on page 21)

The benefits of preplanning your funeral
Coping with the death of a loved one is never easy. Dealing with a sudden, unexpected death of a beloved friend or family member can be even more difficult, especially for those people who have to make important financial decisions while grieving. To remove the burden and stress associated with funeral planning, many adults preplan their funerals. Adults can be as specif-
ic as they prefer to be when preplanning their funerals, and doing so gives relatives peace of mind knowing that their loved ones’ funeral services were conducted in accordance to their own wishes. Preplanning a funeral may sound morbid, as few people want to think about their deaths or discuss dying with their families. But there are numerous benefits to preplanning funerals.
• Preplanning provides time to make the best decisions. Men and women who preplan their funerals have ample time to decide just what they want their memorial services to be like and how they want to fund those services. Men and women trusted to make those decisions upon the death of a loved one will need to make those decisions more quickly and likely won’t be in the correct frame of mind to

Investors know that money management can be difficult. The ebb and flow of the economy can be similar to a roller coaster, with soaring highs followed by steep drops, and those changes all affect investors' bottom lines. It's no wonder then that many investors over 50 envision the day when they can get off that roller coaster and simply enjoy their money without having to worry about the everyday ups and downs of the market. But managing money after 50 is about more than just reducing risk. Reducing risk as retirement draws near is a sound financial strategy that can safeguard men and women over 50 from the fluctu-

who discuss their wishes for their funerals with loved ones may not have those wishes honored if they are not put in writing. • Preplanning can help control costs. Preplanning often includes men and women setting aside money for their funerals before they pass away. Knowing that a funeral, which can be expensive, is already paid for can provide additional peace of mind. Instead of worrying that their relatives will be forced to
handle the burden of financing their funerals, men and women who preplan can rest easy knowing their insurance money and life’s savings will be going to their surviving loved ones and not toward paying for funeral expenses. • Preplanning protects families faced with sudden death. Few people want to think about their deaths, and fewer still want to think about dying suddenly and/or dying young. Preplanning a funeral
and setting money aside early can protect and help families faced with sudden deaths. That can be especially important for young parents, who won’t want to leave their spouses and children financially destitute should they suddenly pass away. Preplanning a funeral may not be something to look forward to, but doing so can protect families and provide men and women with some peace of mind.

make decisions that will honor their loved one’s legacy. • Preplanning ensures your wishes are honored. Men and women who formalize their funeral plans will ensure their wishes are honored. That can give men and women peace of mind and will provide peace of mind to the loved ones they leave behind, who can attend funeral services knowing those services are being conducted in adherence to their loved one’s wishes.

ations of the market That's true whether investors put their money in stocks, real estate or other areas that were not immune to the ups and downs of the economy. But there are additional steps men and women can take after they turn 50 to ensure their golden years are as enjoyable and financially sound as possible. * Prioritize saving for retirement. Men and women over 50 know that retirement is right around the corner. Despite that, many people over 50 still have not prioritized saving for retirement. It's understandable that other obligations, be it paying kids' college tuition or offering financial assistance to aging parents, may seem more immediate, but men and women over 50 should recognize that their time to save for retirement is rapidly dwindling. Just because you are retired does not mean your bills will magically disappear. In fact, some of those bills, such as the cost of medical care, are likely to increase. So now is the time to make retirement a priority if you have not already done so. It might be nice to finance a child's college education, but that should not be done at the expense of your retirement nest egg. Kids have a lifetime ahead of them to repay college loans, while adults over 50 do not have that much time to save for retirement. * Start making decisions. People retire at different times in their lives. Some people want to keep working as long as they are physically and mentally capable of doing so, while others want to reap what their lifetime of hard work has sewn and retire
early. Finances will likely play a strong role in when you can comfortably retire, so start making decisions about your long-term future. Do you intend to stay in your current home or downsize to a smaller home? Will you stay in your current area or move elsewhere? These decisions require a careful examination of your finances, and many will hinge on how well you have managed your money in the past and how well you manage it in the years ahead. Managing money after 50 requires more than just allocating resources. Sound money management after 50 also means making decisions about your future and taking the necessary steps to ensure those decisions come to fruition. * Pay down debt. Men and women over 50 are not often associated with debt, but that's a misconception. Thanks in part to the recession that began in 2008 and led to high unemployment, many people in the baby boomer generation, which includes people born between the years 1946 and 1964, went back to school to make themselves more attractive to prospective employers. While that might have been a sound decision, it left many deeply in debt. According to a 2013 report from the Chronicle of Higher Education, student loan debt is growing fastest among people over 60, and that debt is not inconsequential. In fact, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York reported in 2013 that the average student loan debt of those over the age of 60 who still owe money is more than $19,000, a consid-
erable increase from 2005, when the average debt was $11,000. Men and women over 50 who are still carrying debt should eliminate consumer debt first, as such debt tends to be accompanied by higher interest rates than mortgages and student loan debt. Paying down debt can help reduce stress, improve your quality of life and free up money for living and recreational expenses once you retire. * Examine your insurance policies. Your approach to insurance should change as you get closer to retirement. For example, you want to maximize your liability insurance on homeowners and auto insurance policies. This ensures the money you have set aside for retirement won't be going to a third party should you be at-fault in an auto accident or if someone suffers an injury at your home. Experts recommend liability insurance be substantial for men and women over 50, with some suggesting it be as high as twice your net worth. If it wasn't already, securing long-term disability insurance should be a priority once you have turned 50. A sudden accident or illness at 55 that prevents you from working could prove devastating to your financial future if you do not have disability insurance. Some employers offer long-term disability, though many people are left to secure policies on their own. Regardless of how you get your disability insurance, make sure you have it and that it provides adequate coverage should you succumb to an illness or injury and be unable to work.

Commissioners pass Rainy Day Fund amendment By David PurvisFenker david@nmpaper.com The Wabash County Commissioners unanimously passed a new ordinance amending how the “Rainy Day Fund” is used on July 11. Steve Downs, county attorney, presented the ordinance amending the “Rainy Day Fund” ordinance to the commissioners. According to Commissioner Scott
Givens, the amendment will change the ordinance back to “its original purposes, which were unfunded liabilities generally pertaining to employment, but not always.” Givens said that the County Council initiates the changes to the ordinance, but the Commissioners must also approve. According to the amended ordinance, the fund shall be used for employee benefits due at the end of employment, transfer
of prisoners, elections, unemployment, professional services, legal consultants and services, the Commissioners’ Attorney, the P e r s o n n e l Administration Committee, legal ads, Animal Shelter Allocation, ARC of Wabash County and Soldier Burial, among other items. The full ordinance may be viewed on the county’s website. The ordinance was previously amended
in 2013, 2014 and 2015. The fund is intended to provide funds to the county when it must “pay certain non-recurring expenses that were unanticipated at the time its’ budget was adopted,” according to the 2015 amendment. The 2015 amendment stated that the purpose of the fund would be to pay “nonrecurring, unanticipated, and unbudgeted expenses for the construction and
financing of a new jail.” The original ordinance only provided funding for paying benefits due to county employees when their
employment with the county was terminated. The funds deposited in the Rainy Day Fund are unused funds from a variety
of accounts including the CAGIT, COIT and CEDIT special accounts, and interest earned on the fund itself.

Not a Problem Attendees are welcome to sit in on any of the sessions and come and go as they need to, according to Flohr. “When people come, I would encourage them to bring whatever device, pad or paper, whatever it is they use to take notes,” she said. “This is definitely something to take notes at. You are going to be learning strategies. You are going to be learning affordable ways to grow your audience and by growing your audience, you grow your business.” Deluxe will also make all of the panelists’ slides available on SlideShare.net for attendees to print off or refer to later on. “If knowledge, learning and growth isn’t the bi-product of this, then the seminar is a waste of Deluxe’s investment,” Flohr said. “The better the attendees do is a stronger reflection on the quality of marketing talent that Deluxe
has, and we’re confident that the information that they’re going to be sharing is worth its weight in gold.” To someone that might scoff at the seminar and decide not to attend because it might be boring, Flohr would say, “You
have the choice where you invest your time … learning how to get the word out about your business or marketing your business. It’s the only way you’re going to grow. “If you are not telling your story, you are not going to be
heard, and all of us, no matter what kind of business you’re in, needs to refine how we tell our story and how frequently we tell our story.” Those interested in attending may register at visitwabashcounty.com.

Makayla Ridgeway is Wabash County’s 2016 Festivals Queen. As Roderick Schram called Ridgeway’s name as winning contestant on Friday, July 1, the new queen immediately turned and smiled in disbelief at her predecessor Ashley Ridgeway before walking to center stage to accept her crown. Ridgeway, a 2015 Southwood High School graduate, told The Paper of Wabash County was shocked when she heard her name. “I was like, ‘Wait. Did he just say my name? I’m pretty sure he did,’” she said with a laugh. “I actually saw Ashley (motioning) to have me going over there and so then I was like, ‘Ok that was definitely my name.’ “So, yes, I was definitely shocked and I am super excited about being queen.” This is Ridgeway’s third year of participating in the pageant. Last year, she served on Price’s court as the

Ridgeway didn’t come into this pageant expecting to walk away the title. “I didn’t come in expecting anything,” she explained. “I just wanted to really be myself because, the past couple of years, it’s really helped me grow as a person and I’ve really seen a change in me throughout the years that I’ve done in, but this year I really wanted to focus on being myself.

Millennial nominees sought from Northeast Indiana for honors By The Paper staff FORT WAYNE – Greater Fort Wayne Business Weekly is seeking nominations for outstanding representatives of the millennial generation in northeast Indiana to be honored and featured in a special publication. Nominations will be accepted through August 7, 2016, for
northeast Indiana residents age 18-34 that are making significant contributions to their workplace or school and in their community. A panel of judges will choose the top 20 Millennials nominated to be featured in a special publication inserted into the September 16 edition of Greater Fort Wayne Business
Weekly. A cocktail reception will be held honoring the winners on September 5, 2016, at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum Conference Center, the official venue for all 2016 Greater Fort Wayne Business Weekly events. “We hear so much about the millennial generation these
days,” said Randy Mitchell, CEO of KPC Media Group and publisher of Greater Fort Wayne Business Weekly. “I think sometimes they get a bad rap but their approach to work, play, politics and their community is quite optimistic and they are internally driven, probably harder than most generations. We rel-
ish the opportunity to draw attention to this talented group of industrious individuals to help business leaders better understand and appreciate their unique perspectives and contributions to this community.” Nominations will be accepted online at fwbusiness.com under the Events tab through August 7.

We’re starting to be a really booming town and I just want to assure the community that I’m going to be a good ambassador for them and I’m going to get people to want to come to Wabash.” As a child, Ridgeway said she never thought, especially as a child, that she’d grow up to be a pageant queen. “But once you get older and you realize what it is about, it’s not about wearing a crown, it’s not about wearing a pretty
dress. I mean those are all perks,” she said with a smile, “but it’s really about being an ambassador for your county and for the people, really genuinely being yourself and being a voice for your community.” In her court, Ridgeway will be

Indiana summer weather outlook: Drought looming again Purdue University Newsroom
WEST LAFAYETTE - Indiana could be headed for another drought this summer,
according to the Indiana State Climate Office. Some northern Indiana counties already are abnormally dry.

It depends on the strength of a developing La Niña weather pattern. Stronger La Niña conditions in summer typically result in hotter and/or drier Midwest summers, such as what happened during the historic drought in the summer of 2012. Changes in largescale weather patterns such as the
demise of El Niño and strong possibility of La Niña conditions in coming months are leading to local scale impacts of reduced rainfall and hotter landscapes, said Dev Niyogi, state climatologist based at Purdue University. “This, combined with the need by plants to replace water lost through evaporation, is setting
a classic scenario for a regional drought,” he said. If La Niña does develop quickly and with at least moderate intensity, drought conditions may develop in Indiana by August, said Ken Scheeringa, associate state climatologist. “In recent years, there has been a trend to fall droughts in Indiana,” he said.

“For example last year, moderate drought occurred from late September into late December.” The climate office expects the second half of June to be drier than normal, followed by equal chances that July and August will be wetter, drier or near normal in precipitation across the Midwest and a slightly higher chance of drier-thannormal conditions over Indiana. Neutral weather conditions began in late May after what the climate office said was one of the strongest El Niños on record. The El Niño generated eight consecutive months of above -normal temperatures in Indiana through April and a mix of above- and below- normal precipitation. “Historically, a quickly developing La Niña after a strong El Niño can be moderate to strong in intensity,” Scheeringa said. La Niña conditions occur when Pacific sea surface temperatures in a specific area near the equator persist cooler than normal by about 1 degree Fahrenheit. The “signature” impacts of La Niña are Indiana summers with above-normal temperatures and
less-than-normal precipitation. Signs of extended dryness have been reported in the June 9 update of the U.S. Drought Monitor, with several counties in the far north and northeast portions of Indiana abnormally dry. A map of Indiana as part of the Drought Monitor is available at www.droughtmonitor.unl.edu/Home/Sta teDroughtMonitor.as px?IN. Extended periods of dry conditions are nothing new to Indiana. In addition to the moderate drought in some parts of the state last year, other areas were abnormally dry before and during it. Heavy spring rains that killed or severely damaged some crops and dry conditions in the summer took a toll on Indiana’s corn crop, which was the smallest since the devastating drought of 2012. Soybean crops fared better, recovering enough after the spring to produce a stronger crop. “We will monitor the situation,” Niyogi said. “Droughts don’t always mean lowered yields. The timing, intensity, duration and area covered matter.”

Reformed narcotics dealer encourages community awareness of drug problem Dear Editor, My name is Donald Stevens and I am an inmate at the Miami Correctional Facility in Bunker Hill, Ind. I receive Wabash County’s The Paper weekly and appreciate and enjoy being able to read and be updated on what’s going on in the community. I look forward every week to reading local news and learning how the community is growing and
prospering. I was born and raised in the city of Wabash and have lived there nearly all of my life. I have seen many positive changes in the community and love seeing the expansion of businesses and watching the community come together as a whole. I was convicted of dealing narcotics in January of 2015 and since my incarcera-
tion have given my life over to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My heart is changing every day and I hope to somehow express my deepest apologies to my community for any harm or damage I may have caused by my actions. I was unaware of the severity of my crimes at the time. Now, looking back with a clearer vision I see all the blessings
What more kittens? Dear Editor: What more kittens? That seems to be what Valerie Clarkson keeps hearing. Here is why: It takes a female cat (called “queens” are terms “seasonally polyestrous”) to usually come into heat within six months after their birth, plus have another cycle again within a short time after having kittens. This is because their multiple heats are influenced by seasonal changes in the amount of daylight. Cats usually have heat cycles between January and September. Starting around January, a female cat will keep
coming back into heat every 7 – 10 days until she is bred or the amount of daylight decreases (usually around October). Cats kept indoors and exposed to artificial lights may cycle year-round. So if a cat has two litters a year of five kittens, after one year one would have 12 cats (the female and male plus 10 kittens). Therefore, after one year, one would have two adult cats and 10 kittens. After 2 years, there would be 84 cats. After 3 years. 504 cats. After 4 years, you would have 108.864 cats. This all started with two adult cats (if
the cats are over a year old). This is what is called a cat calamity. If every cat in the United States was not spayed or neutered in a period of five years, there would be billions of cats. This is why responsible animal owners need to have their cats spayed and neutered. Right now, Wabash County Animal Shelter is at cat calamity stage, but are at this time still taking kittens and cats. The Animal Welfare League in Kosciusko County is over the cat calamity and are now turning away kittens and cats. – Valerie Clarkson, Wabash County
I’ve taken for granted. I have two little girls who are now 3and 6-years-old. I understand the severity and the seriousness of the current drug epidemic in the city of Wabash. I know it is something law enforcement officers have done a great job in fighting against. I could never imagine losing either of my girls to a drug overdose. I do sincerely hope to someday give back to my community anything that I have taken away. Life is a precious gift not to be taken for granted. Our children are precious and they are our community’s future. They will someday be the leaders of our businesses and the overseers of our neighborhoods. I just want to encourage all parents and youth alike to
remain aware of the drug problem in our country and speak out and fight against it. When I see all the good things taking place in my community, it makes me want to somehow help in any way I can. I hope to someday be able to do so. Wabash is a beautiful city with beautiful people. We need to do all we can to preserve its goodness and keep these deadly drugs off our streets and out of our homes. I would like to thank all our law enforcement officers for their hard work in keeping our community clean and thank The Paper for all the positive influences and community updates printed in each issue. May God bless you, Wabash. — Donald G. Stevens III, Bunker Hill

Soil fertility specialist says yellow striping in corn may be linked to sulfur deficiency Purdue University newsroom
WEST LAFAYETTE - Yellow striping on corn leaves is more prevalent this year than in the past, possibly because of sulfur deficiency in the soil, says a Purdue Extension soil fertility specialist. Yellow, green-yellow or yellow-white striping on the leaves of corn plants can indicate a variety of nutrient deficiencies or other damage, said Jim Camberato. Analysis of soil and tissue samples shows that many cases of striping are due to sulfur deficiency. “We used to get quite a bit of sulfur from rainfall. The power plants would burn coal that had sulfur in it, so sulfur would be deposited in
rainfall or absorbed directly from the air by the soil,” Camberato said. “But over the last 20-25 years, these emissions have been reduced, so perhaps now the amounts in rainfall and atmosphere deposition are low enough that plants are not getting enough that way anymore.” Wet deposition of sulfur, or sulfur absorbed into the soil from rainfall, decreased by an average of 62 percent in the eastern United States from 1989 to 2013, according to data collected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The primary source of wet sulfur deposition is through precipitation, known as acid rain. Weather and temperature play a role in availability of soil sul-
fur as well. Usable inorganic sulfur is mineralized, or released from organic matter, by microorganisms in warm, moist soil, so if weather is cold and dry, this process will be inhibited. “This year doesn’t fit that mold, but if we experience dry weather later, it could reduce the amount of mineralization that takes place, and it becomes harder for plants to uptake all nutrients,” Camberato said. “So it would allow the problem to persist longer and perhaps be more detrimental.” When yellow striping occurs on corn leaves, it is best to send soil and tissue samples to a private lab for nutrient analysis, Camberato said. Samples should be taken from both
healthy and affected areas of the field for comparison. In addition to basic testing, Camberato advises farmers to request secondary and micronutrient testing, because striping can also be caused by deficiencies in magnesium, zinc, manganese and iron. “The entire plant including roots and adhering soil should also be sent to the Purdue Plant and Pest Diag-
nostic Laboratory to be tested for other causes of yellow striping,” Camberato said. “These symptoms could be caused by other conditions such as nematode damage, disease, herbicide damage and compacted or dry soil.” If the condition is confirmed to be due to sulfur or other nutrient deficiency, the best solution is usually to apply the nutrient di-
rectly to the soil, Camberato said. While warm weather can eventually increase sulfur mineralization, or growing roots may encounter sulfur deeper in the soil, neither situation is guaranteed to provide enough sulfur for the plant. In such cases, the longer the delay before fertilizer is applied, the more damage and yield reduction may occur.
“These deficiencies are better taken care of proactively,” he said. “If a farmer has striping this year, hopefully they will diagnose the cause and plan next year to utilize fertilizer materials wisely to avoid the problem in the first place. It is less expensive and more effective to take care of it before it occurs than to try to fix it.”

Traffic stop leads to drug arrest By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER – A routine North Manchester Police traffic stop led to the arrest of a North Manchester man on drug related charges Friday, July 8. Blake Hudson was
charged with possession of marijuana and cited for a traffic offense following the routine stop. According to a press release by NMPD Chief Steve Olsen: On Friday, July 8, at about 6 p.m., Officer Derek Sessoms pulled
over a car driven by Hudson at Thorn and West streets for a traffic violation. At the car, Sessoms could smell a strong odor that he associated with raw marijuana emitting from the vehicle. Upon investigation,
two baggies containing a brown, leafy substance were found. A narcotics field test showed that it tested positive for marijuana. The initial total weight was indicated to be 23 grams.

Purdue’s Bicentennial torch project enters next phase Purdue University newsroom
W E S T L A FAY E T T E — T h e role of Purdue University in Indiana’s Bicentennial Torch Relay has stepped up from designing to assembling the golden components manufactured for the centerpiece torch. The pieces of the first 18 flagship torches designed by the College of Engineering arrived at Chaffee Hall earlier this month. Students are now assembling the pieces, made of ultra-lightweight aluminum-lithium from Alcoa’s Lafayette Operations and small interior components formed by 3-D printers. The students are piecing together the inner workings with the shaft, top bell and starred rings. Timothée Pourpoint, head of the torch project and associate professor of aeronautics and astronautics at Purdue, said there are several stages in torch production to complete all 130 torches for the torch run and other purposes. “We are targeting the first 18 torches at this point,” he said. “These torches are what we’re going to use during the relay.” The relay begins in September and will cover all 92 Indiana counties.” The bicentennial torch is a project more than a year in the making for the relay. Students in the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics designed the body of the torch and the burner. The Department of Agricultural and Biol o g i c a l Engineering researched the E85 torch fuel and additive to be used, and the School of Materials Engineering worked on manufacturing and anodizing the torch’s prototype body. Electronics and software angles – including GPS and camera functions with Wi-Fi never before used in a torch relay – were handled by the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Pourpoint said rings embellished with stars proved difficult to manufacture. He called upon Alcoa, a leader in lightweight, multi-material metals technology, and
longtime Purdue partner. Alcoa Lafayette Operations proposed using aerospace-grade cast aluminumlithium. The torch rings are made completely from aluminum lithium alloy from Alcoa’s Lafayette plant. Overall, Alcoa has donated close to $100,000 in materials and labor with the construction of the torch pieces. “This is a tremendous collaboration that we’ve had,” Pourpoint said. “For several months, I had weekly teleconferences with engineers at Alcoa, looking at designs and looking at how to best manufacture the torch rings, which are quite complex. “We’re also using their latest and greatest alloy, which saved us about 10 percent in weight,” he added. The final version of the flagship torch weighs a little less

Alex Eros, Alcoa project manager, said the torch project was a natural fit in the company’s ongoing relationship with Purdue in taking on challenges calling for lightweight and high-
strength metals. The torch’s eight-inch and four-inch starred rings, however, had features unlike anything Alcoa Lafayette Operations had dealt with before. “With our background in the aerospace industry, we applied our strong un-
derstanding of aircraft design to develop machining techniques that produced the thin, yet strong, walls required for this symbol of Indiana’s history,” he said.

County’s school districts should collaborate
Dear Editor, I would hope the two school boards are communicating and working together to analyze ways they can benefit the students of the two districts. If they are not, then I would strongly encourage them to do so. I believe both school districts have
done well in the past to provide the best education possible with available resources for our students, but it is time to recognize changes taking place. Both districts have declining enrollment, are finding it more difficult to meet financial obligations, are unable to pay
good teachers what they are truly worth, cannot offer all the subjects and training needed for better jobs or advanced opportunities, and are challenged to meet more stringent rules constantly put forth. As we look at the two school districts, with Metropolitan surrounding Wabash
on all sides, it only makes good sense for the two districts to find more and better ways to cooperate. Both districts have many good things to offer. Together they can make our education system better. How long is it going to be before the State of Indiana demands larger,
more effective school systems? How long before the State places off the students south of the river in the Oak Hill and/or Marion School districts and all those in the north in the Manchester and/or Huntington districts? It is much better for us to make our

The Center is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Its collection includes more than 28,000 documents, photographs and threedimensional artifacts. This includes a section on M a n c h e s t e r University history.
From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER — M a n c h e s t e r University’s roots in North Manchester go deep – all the way back to 1889. To honor that 127year connection, the University has donated $5,000 to the North Manchester Historical Society for the façade restoration project at the Center for History. “The center is a great asset for the town, and we want to help the historical society in its ambitious project to restore the downtown building,” said MU President Dave McFadden, who hand-delivered the check to society President Mary Chrastil. The historical society is raising money to restore the former O p p e n h e i m Department Store building at 122 E. Main St. to its 1925 appearance. “The façade restoration is the largest we have undertaken since we bought the building in 1999,” Chrastil said. “We are confident we can reach our $215,000 goal, but as a private not-forprofit with no regular government support, we cannot be successful without out-of-the-ordinary s u p p o r t . r University’s backing is crucial in helping us complete the p r o j e c t . ” The society serves the community with its museum, educational programs, research and artifact c o l l e c t i n g .

Manchester Eel River project on national 'Waters to Watch' list By The Paper staff
Jerry Sweeten, professor of biology and director of the Environmental Studies Program, shared some great news for Manchester University. The National Fish Habitat Partnership has unveiled its list of 10 “Waters to Watch” for 2016, recognizing a collection of rivers, streams, estuaries, lakes and watershed systems that will bene-
fit from strategic conservation efforts to protect, restore or enhance their current condition. These voluntary, locally-driven projects represent some of the top conservation activities in progress implemented by 19 regional Fish Habitat Partnerships throughout the country. These projects are carried out under the goals and objectives of the National Fish Habitat Action Plan (2012). The
conservation projects are designed to conserve freshwater, estuarine and marine habitats essential to the many fish and wildlife species that call these areas home. These examples of conservation have been fundamental to the overall success of the National Fish Habitat Partnership since 2006. Over time, these conservation efforts are reversing persistent declines in our
nation’s aquatic habitats. Having featured 100 partnership projects since 2007, these “Waters to Watch” are proving that sciencebased on-the-ground conservation efforts are truly making a difference in improving fish habitat across the United States. “In celebrating 10 Years of the National Fish Habitat Partnership, these conservation projects embolden the spirit of the National Fish
Habitat Action Plan, and showcase the complexities and challenges in making these projects successful,” said Tom Champeau, Chair of the National Fish Habitat Board. “We are highlighting these projects today in hopes that over time these projects will make a marked difference in the conservation of fish habitat. For 2016, we highlighted three of our “Waters to Watch” as “legacy” projects that
are making a positive impact both regionally and nationally to help celebrate the success of the partnership since 2006.” Three of the 10 nominations this year are deemed “Legacy Projects” which have made a significant impact on fish habitat conservation. These projects are selected from previous years “Waters to Watch” projects and help to highlight the National Fish Habitat
Partnership as it celebrates its 10-year Anniversary in 2016. The Eel River Initiative, a collaboration led by Manchester University, is among the 10 recognized for voluntary, locally driven projects that represent some of the top conservation activities throughout the nation.

recycling for many reasons such as a lack of funding for equipment and personnel. However, the primary reason for no value in the recycling is contamination of the recycling bins. Every improper item placed in the recycling bins cost them money to dispose of. As well as, when they have to send items to the landfill, this directly contradicts the District’s State mandate to divert recyclables from landfills. I have been really disgusted with the trash I have seen in the bins at the Manchester Avenue drop-off site where I take my recycling. Wabash has trash pickup for residents once a week so “no trash” should be put in the bins for “recycling only.” Please be aware of what you are putting in the recycle bins. Please follow the rules on the signs on the bins. Also, there are three large metal signs on the fence at the back of the Manchester Avenue site: title on the left sign reads “Recyclable Material Accepted” which lists all the materials, the center sign reads “This site is under video surveillance,” and a large sign on the right reads “Anyone caught dumping trash at this site may be prosecuted for illegal dumping.” The sign on the right lists “Items Not Accepted”. Statement of Purpose for Wabash County Solid Waste Management District is: Facilitating waste diversion through public education programs and integrated solid waste management strategies, specifically emphasizing waste reduction, reuse and recycling. If you have questions, please call Wabash County Solid Waste Management District at 260-5637649 or go to the office at 1101 Manchester Ave. in Wabash. — Janet Quillen, Wabash
