Wabash County firefighters geared up and headed to the Wabash County YMCA on Monday morning, Sept. 11, not for an emergency, but for tribute.

Monday marked the 16th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in which al-Qaeda, an Islamic extremist terrorist group, coordinated four attacks in New York City, Washington D.C. and Shanksville, Pa. The attacks kill nearly 3,000 people and injured 6,000 more.

In attempts to rescue survivors inside the World Trade Center, 343 New York City firefighters and 60 police officers lost their lives.

The day is known as the deadliest incident for emergency personnel in United States history.

In 2012, Wabash firefighters

ROANN – Residents from around Wabash and surrounding counties converged on Roann over the weekend as the community celebrated the Roann Covered Bridge Festival.

This year was the 100th anniversary of the event.

A variety of music, contests, rides and vendors drew people downtown from Thursday, Sept.

7, through Sunday, Sept. 10. The

biggest attraction, as usual, was the annual parade on Saturday afternoon.

More than 100 entries made their way from through the town, waving at participants who lined the streets two and three deep. At many spots along the route, parade-goers stood during the 59-minute parade.

Culver Military Academy’s Black Horse Troop led the parade, followed by a variety of emergency vehicles, local busi(continued on page 31)

Roann celebrates 100 years of festivals

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Jeff Krom and Dennis Vigar began an annual Sept. 11 tribute climb to honor those that lost their lives by climbing 110 flights of stairs.

“It started out with just Dennis and I together and wanted to do something to honor the firemen that died that day,” Krom said. “There were 343 firemen and 60 police officers that died that day and we wanted to do something locally to honor those guys and their memory.

We just showed up (at the YMCA) in fire gear, went up stairs and started climbing.”

“We actually made the Y nervous when we walked in with our fire gear on,” Vigar added.

“They were like, ‘Do we have a fire?’”

“I don’t remember who it was,” Krom continued, “but their eyes got really big and they asked, ‘Do we have a problem?’ And we’re like, ‘Nope.

We’re just going upstairs.’”

Nearly 700 riders from around the United States road bicycles around Wabash County on Sunday, Sept. 10, during the 2017 Dam to Dam Century Ride.

The 8th annual Dam to Dam ride saw 699 bicycle enthusiasts riding one of five routes – 15, 32, 50, 62 and 100 miles – around Wabash County.

“The preliminary count is 699 riders,” according to Christian Flohr, who is on the Dam to Dam ride committee.

The 699 riders came from 13 states, she noted.

Outside of the occasional flat tire there were no (continued on page 4)

School size ‘impacts student achievement,’ Indiana Chamber-Ball State study says Wabash County educators disagree with implied outcome

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com A school corporation’s student body size has a direct impact on the learner’s achievement and more than half of Indiana schools — including Wabash County’s — are “too small to produce effective outcomes,” according to research commissioned by the Indiana Chamber of C o m m e r c e Foundation.

Conducted by Ball State University

Center for Business and Economic Research (CBER), the study, “School Corporation Size and Student Performance: Evidence from Indiana,” reported “poorer academic performance, on average,” for students attending corporations containing less than 2,000 students.

Numerous studies, conducted both nationally and by the CBER, found that organizations with fewer students “are not able to operate at optimal efficiency to maximize resources going into the classroom,” according to the report.

Wabash City S c h o o l s

Superintendent Jason Callahan told The Paper of Wabash County the study provided valuable information.

“I don’t think it’s all together surprising,” Callahan said. “It only makes sense that the greater resources you have the greater capacity you’ll have to serve students. I’m sure there comes a tipping point where there can also be too big, but on the other end, there can also be too small. So I don’t think the findings of the study were all that surprising and I think it’s kind of in line of what has been shown in the past.

“I did find in the study,” he later added, “that there was value and that they recommended to continue to try and incentivize schools to make the right decisions. So I liked the study because—and it’s not just Wabash County’s issue. It’s a rural America issue — money follows kids and if we’re losing kids, then money is leaving our community. So what we at Wabash City Schools have said for a long time is let’s connect this community, let’s unify this community and let’s create regionally and statewide. Let’s create the best educational system in the state of Indiana.”

The Indiana Chamber of Commerce released the information on Aug. 15 in a press release titled “Indiana Chamber-Ball State Study: Student Performance Suffers in Smaller Districts.”

MSD of Wabash C o u n t y Superintendent Mike Keaffaber disagreed with the statement.

“I would consider us a small district and most school districts around here are pretty small, and when it says ‘hurt academic achievement’ I would say that’s not true,” Keaffaber told The Paper. “Now in small school districts, obviously, academic opportunity might be a little bit different. If we have small districts, smaller high schools, as far as opportunities, we may not have as many opportunities as a large or mega school.

“I do disagree with the title of the article but do realize that opportunities may be different because of sizes of schools,” he continued. “I definitely believe the article is an exaggeration as far as hurting. … We have many students who end their high school career here, they go to college and they’re well prepared. They also have credits that allow them to possibly have a whole semester done, possibly even a

year if they really work at it and that can be because Heartland Career Center but also because of our high schools offer AP and dual credit.”

Callahan agreed with Keaffaber’s stance on the word choice.

“I think instead of student achievement it should be student opportunities,” he explained. “I think students are still achieving and that’s one reason why communities have been reluctant to explore consolidation. Their top achievers are going on to that next level regardless of school size. But the opportunities are limited. Often times, small schools will only be able to offer one foreign language or not enough advanced science classes or math classes where they have to try to accommodate that digitally and that falls short, and I think those programs ultimately create less student engagement.

“If we can offer more, we’re going to be able to engage kids more. I think (the study’s) stats are in line where they talk about AP performance. It shows statistical significance, but I don’t know if it hurts kids per se. I think it just limits the opportunities that they have.

“I think one important thing to understand in this study is (schools) start to lose enrollment, it’s tough to grow programming especially when you’re a smaller district,” he later added.

“The reason for the (WCS) referendum was we did not want to continue cut programming. We want to continue to grow programming. …

However, as we continue to talk in this county about school consolidation and we continue to talk about operating fund or capital project fund referendums, it is an important conversation. What do we want for our students?”

The study reported that comprehensive analysis and modeling revealed the following outcomes if school corporations contained between 2,000 and 2,999 students: • SAT test scores were up by 20.5 points.

• Advanced Placement pass rates increased by 14.9 percent.

• Eighth grade ISTEP scores increased by 5 percent.

• Algebra and biology end of course assessment passing rates increased by 4 percent.

Even though these are the stated outcomes, results are situational, Keaffaber agreed.

“Everything has to be put in perspective and relative,” Keaffaber said. “You can look at data and we do have to be datadriven decision makers, and that’s what you have to look at too, but also you have to look at individuals and you have to look at what you can offer and what you can do.

It is all different.”

In May, the U.S. News & World Report 2017 Best High Schools ranked Manchester High School, Southwood Junior-Senior High School and Wabash High School in the top 70 Indiana Schools, with MHS placing 31st, SHS placing 36th and WHS placing 69th.

In June, SHS was one of 53 schools to receive the 2016 Advanced Placement Award, which recognized schools that had at least 25 percent of its 2016 graduating class receive a 3, 4 or 5 on an AP exam.

Out of Indiana’s 92 counties, only 21 have

a single school corporation, 22 counties have three corporations, 19 have two and 13 have four corporations, according to the report. The most corporations in a single county are 16 in Lake County and 16 in Marion County, the document continued.

In 2014, 154 of the state’s 289 school corporations had total enrollments of less than 2,000 students with 85 percent of those corporations experiencing enrollment decline between 2006 and 2014.

“This is not about closing buildings or eliminating schools,” Kevin Brinegar, Indiana Chamber President and CEO, said. “It’s about reducing per-pupil administrative costs to put more money into classrooms, increasing pay for deserving teachers, making more STEM classes available and, most importantly, helping to ensure the best possible student outcomes.

“That will drive per capita income and is especially critical for small communities.

Greater student achievement is the biggest thing we can do for rural economic development and those local residents.”

However, small school districts can offer something many large corporations can’t and that is relationships, according to Keaffaber.

“One thing that we talk about a lot is just relationships and being able to develop those relationships (between student and teacher),” he said.

“There’s a lot of neuroscience research.

Dr. Jeannette Vos wrote a book (called “The Learning Revolution”) that talked about the foundation to emotion and the door to learning is relationships, and I really believe that.

“So having a small school allows those relationships and, when you develop those relationships, then I believe that you can also motivate. I think often students will look up to those teachers and, because they have a personal interest, they actually improve because of that. There are many advantages to having a small school and that’s certainly one of them.”

Knights of Columbus donate funds to local groups

By The Paper staff

On Aug. 15, checks totaling more than $3,000 raised during the Tootsie Roll Drive were presented to Special Olympics, Arc, and Vernon Manor.

Since 1978 when the Wabash Knights of Columbus began the annual drive, over $217,000 has been donated to local organizations helping people with intellectual disabilities.

Wabash County Special Olympics will use the funds to offset the cost of the Special Olympics Indiana State Games which takes place annually at Indiana State University.

This past June, more than 30 local athletes traveled to Terre Haute to participate. Many more athletes descend upon the Wabash High School track each May for the Area 5 games.

Special Olympics Indiana provides yearround sports training and athletic competition in more than 20 Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, reaching nearly 11,000 athletes across Indiana.

Through Special Olympics Indiana, athletes gain opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.

Special Olympics is a movement that impacts lives for the better. It’s an organization that needs you! Individuals with a wide range of disability levels participate in Special Olympics. Coaches and volunteers are always needed. Anyone who would like to get involved with Wabash County special Olympics, or who knows of someone with an intellectual disability that would like to join other athletes, contact county coordinator Lizzy Makin at lmakinsowc@gmail.com. One can also visit the Wabash County Special Olympics Facebook page for more information.

In addition, Wabash County Special Olympics will have a picnic at the Knights of Columbus at 4 p.m.

Sunday, Sept. 24, where all are invited to join the fun and learn more about the organization.

Arc will use the funds donated as a “local match” for some of the larger grants

major issues during the event, she noted.

“As the event grows,” Flohr said, “the D2D committee is focused on not sacrificing quality or rider and volunteer experience.”

Riders departed the Wabash County YMCA as early as 7:30 a.m.

Sunday morning. The bulk of the riders departed about 8 a.m., with others heading our periodically after that.

Depending on the route, they were gone for six or seven hours, pedaling around Wabash County taking

in various sites.

Supply and gear tents were set up at several locations, offering riders a chance to stop and refuel their bodies with a variety of items ranging from quinoa and peanut butter to pickles, pickle juice and more.

Some of the riders, when stopping, took advantage of the location to tour sites along the route. Several riders, one SAG volunteer reported, stopped to tour the Stockdale Mill before continuing the ride.

As the riders neared the finish line, members of the Wabash Elks Lodge greeted them and encouraged them on to the finish

line by ringing bells, clapping and cheering them on.

Now that the eighth annual ride is complete, the Dam to Dam committee will soon begin work on the 2018 event.

“The committee will review rider and volunteer feedback over the next two weeks and will begin immediately making plans for 2018,” Flohr said.

Parkview Wabash Hospital was the title sponsor for the event, with several other local businesses and industry supporting the ride in other capacities.

“The support for this event is overwhelming and humbling,” Flohr said.

County Plan Commission denies Unger Mountain zoning requests Hope still remains for Wabash County climbing wall

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The Wabash County Plan Commission denied three Unger Mountain zoning requests Thursday night, Sept. 7.

Unger Mountain, a 55-foot climbing wall, was built in 2016 on Sean and Natalie Unger’s property in the residential subdivision, Legacy Ridge Estates, and was intended for

commercial use. The wall opened to the public in November with a grand opening scheduled for April 1, 2017, according to the Unger Mountain Facebook page.

The wall was built before it received zoning permission and permits from the commission, according to Mike Howard, Wabash

O.J. Neighbours presents 29th annual 1800s reenactment

By The Paper staff O.J. Neighbours Elementary School will be presenting the 29th annual 1800s reenactment on Thursday, Sept.

14.

Kindergarten through fourth grade students will act out pioneer and Native American life during the hour and a half event with kindergarten, first and fourth grade youth portraying the pioneers while second and third graders representing Sioux, Miami, Iroquois and Navajo tribes.

On the basketball court by the playground, the kindergarten students will demonstrate pioneer songs and dances. Carol Enyeart, Heather Mickelson and Clara Castano’s classes will perform at 5:45 p.m., and Susan Keaffaber and Lindsay Wilson’s classes will perform at 6 p.m.

First grade students will reenact pioneer games by the Songer Pavilion. Kristi Clark and Rachael McWhirt’s classes will perform at 6 p.m., and Stacy Baer,

Keisha Wright and Vanessa Daughtry’s classes will perform at 6:15 p.m.

The second grade classes will reenact Native American dances and blessings by the corncrib. Melva McLane and Alicia Draper’s classes will perform at 6 p.m., and Alysia Olson, Melissa Lang and April Rentschler’s classes will perform at 6:45 p.m.

In the Koehler Native American Village, third grade classes will inform parents and guests about Native American life throughout the country’s various tribes that thrived during the settlement period. In the reenactment area, the northeast coastal region’s Tlingit tribe will be in the cedar longhouse, the plains region’s Sioux tribe will be in the tipi, the southwest region’s Navajo tribe will be in the Hogan, the northeast woodland region’s Iroquois will be in the longhouse and the local region’s Miami will be in the wiki up.

Fourth grade classes will share and demonstrate pioneer life in the

pioneer village. The students will focus on various occupations, such as blacksmithing, crafting pottery, school marm and master, and preacher, as well as important skills that pioneers needed to survive, including rope making and butter churning.

Due to construction on Wabash Street, parking will be extremely limited this year.

The drive in front of the school is now a twoway street and no parking is allowed at this time. Disabled parking is available in the north parking lot. All other attendees will need to park at the Field of Dreams and walk the trail to the school or take Trolley No.85 or buses to the school starting at 5 p.m.

Parking along streets west of the school will be allowed as well.

The reenactment will take place at O.J. Neighbours Elementary School, located at 1545 N. Wabash St. in Wabash, starting at 5:30 p.m. and concluding at 7 p.m.

County Plan Commission director.

On Aug. 3, the Ungers, represented by attorneys Mark Guenin and Doug Lehman, appeared before the commission to contend that the wall should be granted zoning permissions and presented three requests for the commission to consider.

“Basically, there were three things that (Unger Mountain officials) had requested,” Howard told The Paper of Wabash County.

“They had requested a partial vacate of the plat of Legacy Ridge Estates and that was denied. (The second was) whether to vacate certain restrictive covenants of Legacy Ridge Estates. They were requesting certain covenants to be vacated or changed and that was denied. And they were requesting a replat of Legacy Ridge Estates and that was denied.”

When the plat was recorded in Legacy Ridge Estates in 1989, it had restrictive covenants, or a list of conditions, in place with one being “no lot shall be used except for residential purposes,” according to Pat Hess, an attorney for Michael Wendt who opposed the plan at the Aug. 3 meet-

ing.

However, the property could have been replatted to circumvent the covenant.

“Basically, Legacy Ridge is three lots right now and to replat it in the way that they were doing —they were taking one of the lots and splitting it and creating a fourth lot — and when you do that you have to do what they call a replat of the subdivision,” Howard explained to The Paper.

“And any replat of any subdivision in the county requires (the Wabash County Plan Commission’s) approval before it can ever be recorded and unfortunately this was not done in this case.”

The decision to deny the three requests was not made easily, Howard continued.

“We took all of the information that was basically either presented verbally or in writing by Mr. Lehman and Mr. Guenin and the Ungers, we reviewed it all and we just made a determination of whether it was compliant with what we thought our ordinance states as policy,” he said, later adding, “This decision, to me, was very difficult because I know the families.

think all the board knows the families and I think we’ve taken a lot of criticism, as far as a board, that we don’t want a climbing wall in the county and that’s not true at all.

“It’s just the manner in which this was done that was not legal, and if we were to pass something like this and approve it, it would open up a can of worms that nobody would want. Can you imagine if everybody in the county coming in and saying, ‘Well I own this lot in a subdivision. I’m just going to sell part of it.’ No. It’s just nuts.”

However, there is still hope for Unger Mountain.

“The (commission) board is very receptive and open to an alternate plan, which Mr. (Sean) Unger did present and we’re reviewing it,” Howard continued.

“And it will be reviewed by the Board of Zoning Appeals. The alternate plan is just a relocation of the climbing wall and recreational facility that Sean would like to develop. (The new location) is just to the west

of his house. That’s in consideration.”

The Ungers do have the chance to appeal the commission’s original decision, according to Howard.

“It’s my understanding that they have 30days,” he said. “If they want to appeal, they have to appeal within 30 days. I believe that goes back to a hearing before the county’s Board of Zoning Appeals and then if the BZA was not to change the decision of the Plan Commission then they could appeal it on into the courts eventually.”

However, “the Plan Commission gave a favorable recommendation (to the alternate plan) last night (Sept. 7) for it to go to the Board of Zoning Appeals and it will appear before the Board of Zoning Appeals on Sept. 26,” Howard said.

Unger declined to comment, stating that he is not ready to do a full interview.

The Wabash County Board of Zoning Appeals meeting will begin at 7 p.m.

NORTH MANCHESTER — Despite being more than 1,000 miles away, the effects of Hurricane Harvey are being felt in North Manchester as several local individuals and organizations are reaching out to those in need.

According to various national news outlets, Harvey has claimed more than 60 lives as a result of the damaging amount of water it dropped on the southeast coast of Texas.

The storm made landfall on Aug. 25 as a Category 4 hurricane, bringing wind speeds of more than 130 miles per hour when it made landfall near Corpus Christi, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).

Besides the high winds, Harvey also brought storm tides of more than 12 feet above ground level at

some locations, as well as heavy rainfall.

The NWS reported that Cedar Bayou in Houston, Texas received 51.88 inches of rainfall, a North American record. The floodwaters caused the most damage, with several thousand homes flooded and families displaced.

To help those affected by the flooding, Laketon resident Neil Schafer collected donations and drove them down to a distribution center in Beaumont, Texas.

Schafer collected supplies for children, mothers and expecting mothers.

“I have four daughters, and I want for these children what I would want for my own,” Schafer said.

“These are human beings that need our help. It weighs heavy on my heart.”

Schafer loaded up a pickup truck and enclosed trailer with bags and boxes of clothes, fresh produce, nonperishable

food items, diapers, personal hygiene items and more Saturday, Sept. 9 for the trip.

“We are also dehydrating our produce and canning it as well, and folks around the community are making food items for me to take,” he said.

The donations will be taken to a church in Beaumont that is acting as a central distribution center, sending supplies out to other nearby churches that then distribute them to their community, according to Schafer.

Donations came from all across northern Wabash County, including from Sycamore Preschool at the North Manchester United Methodist Church.

“As I spoke with my class about what was happening in Texas last week, one of my students said, ‘Mrs. A, can we help them? They are on the roof because they have too much

water.’ That evening I saw a Facebook post from Bowser Schafer, that he was making a trip to Texas. So, I called him, and our donation process began,” Heather Alexander, Sycamore Preschool pre-k teacher, said.

She sent out letters to parents and posted about the donation drive on Facebook to get the word out.

“We were blessed with a fantastic turnout for Neil to take to Texas. It’s been a great teaching tool for my young class about giving to others,” she said.

Alexander’s class of 11 preschool students helped donate 14 large bags of clothes of all sizes and four boxes of supplies for young children.

Those who wish to follow Schafer’s progress throughout the week may do so on Facebook.

Schafer is listed under the name “Bowser Schafer”.

County Council discusses ‘rearranging’ LIT credits

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Wabash County homestead property owners may see an increase on their taxes this year.

The Wabash County Council may rearrange the Local Income Tax (LIT) credits upon advisement by Darren Bates, of DataPitStop.

At the council’s meeting Monday, Aug. 28, Bates reminded the council members that Wabash County has the second highest income taxes in the state, but it’s still “losing money,” or not bringing in as much as it could, because not all taxation options are being utilized.

“Last year, you had ($500,000) in cap losses,” he said, “This year you had basically $1 million.

The way you’re going $1.4 million or $1.5 million next year if you don’t do anything. North Manchester, Wabash City, the bottom line is you’re getting so high that they’re all getting capped. So pretty much there is no growth of revenue for those units of government because they’re already capped out.

“Now the rest of the county, outside of the city limits, you as a county government are raising your 4 percent rate. Outside of the city, you’re able to generate more revenue.

Inside of the city, you’re not generating

more revenue. All you’re doing is increasing the cap losses of money you do not collect.”

Bates first presented the LIT information to the council in April, drawing specific attention to the circuit breaker program, which provides tax relief credits to homeowners.

While utilizing the program may seem like a positive decision, Bates advised the council Monday that in Wabash County, homeowners pay 3 percent of the tax.

“The bottom line is you have been heavy on homeowners (relief) credits for the last 10 years and … you’re having a problem now

that you’re getting short of funds, you’re borrowing money, you’re out of funds,” Bates said. “So the only way (to fix that) without increasing property taxes, without increasing income taxes, how can we utilize the money you have better and not slam homeowners ... so rearranging (is the option).”

Bates recommended “half of the LIT going to shares to get (the council) back on track” with a 4 percent levy growth included.

In doing so, the council will not be raising the homestead tax rates, but instead taking away some of the tax relief credits, he explained, adding that

homestead owners will see an increase on their taxes, but it is not a rate increase.

“The way for (the council) to increase the monies collected by $3.2 million is to recalculate the percentages we give tax credits to by using our income tax credits,” Scott Givens, Wabash C o u n t y Commissioners chairman, said.

The council will have to decide by Oct. 31 if it will rearrange the tax credits.

In other news, the county government will begin budget meetings on Tuesday, Sept.

12, at 12:30 p.m. and continue through Sept.

14. The final adoption meeting will take place Sept. 25.

City orders 2 homes to be demolished

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Two more homes have been ordered to be demolished by the Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety.

The board, at its Thursday, Sept. 7 meeting, ordered a home owned by Jan Bailey, 20 W. Harrison, and Justin Brooks, 1326 Adams St., to be demolished.

The board, at its Aug. 3 meeting, gave Bailey 30 days to begin cleaning up her property so the home could be inspected by City Building Commissioner John Stephens.

However, Stephens told the board on Thursday, that no progress was made at the site.

“She was supposed to clear around the house enough so I could get to the house,” Stephens told the board. “I still can’t get to the house.

There is one path that I could get to the front door. The front of the house is buckled. You could see the wall buckled. But other than that, I couldn’t get a look.”

The board also ordered Bailey to remove several cars from the property. They are still there, Stephens continued.

He did say that in a conversation with Bailey, she was going to have a contractor look at the site to let her know if it was cheaper to tear it down or fix the structure. He said he has yet to hear back from her.

Mayor Scott Long noted that Bailey did obtain an application for the city’s Owner O c c u p i e d Rehabilitation Project, part of the Stellar

Grant program.

However, board member Todd Titus noted, the building isn’t owner occupied.

“I maintain the same position I did a month ago,” he continued.

“This has gone on way too long and it’s got to come down. She hasn’t done anything in the last month. It’s not occupied by the owner, and $25,000 (the amount available through the Stellar program) is not going to fix it.”

Bailey, who was at the Aug. 3 meeting with her attorney, Mark Guenin, was not present Thursday.

As for the Brooks’ property, the board voted 2-0 to order it demolished.

Board member Jim Reynolds abstained, noting that the problem with the building has been going on longer than he has been on the board.

“We’ve been round and around with this guy,” Titus said.

The city has been mowing the property most of the summer, and no improvements have been made at the site.

In another matter, two other property owners, Donnie and Peggy Fraley, 319 Euclid St.,

and Mike Galley, 1284 Willard Drive, had their cases before the building continued.

The Fraleys had their case continued from the Aug. 3 meeting, when they told the board that they were waiting to hear if their application for the Owner Occupied program was approved.

In the meantime, Mrs. Fraley told the board, the couple has someone working on the building’s foundation.

Long did tell the board that the couple’s application has been submitted for the pro-

gram; however, the homes to receive grants have not been announced.

The board ordered the couple to continue working at the site, and will wait until it hears if they will be included in the program.

As for Galley, the board will have a formal hearing about the property at a future meeting.

THE WEEKLY ISAAC-ISM: “One of my passions in life is the sport of tennis; I teach it, compete in it, and enjoy just playing it and watching others play it. Moreover, I relate the sport of tennis to what life lessons it can teach us and try to convey them to our youth whenever possible. At its best, tennis teaches us about discipline, preparation, mental toughness, strategy, and how to handle adversity.

Learning how to win and how to lose with humility is a great lesson that we often forget about, but is so important in determining the character of our youth. Once learned, these lessons are more valuable off the court than on it.”

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

Cost-share available to farmers for cover crop application

By The Paper staff The Wabash County Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) has two possible funding opportunities for cost-share assistance towards fall cover crops.

Those who farm in the Beargrass Creek or the Wabash River Watersheds in Wabash

County and currently use or have ever thought about applying cover crops, now is the time to do it.

Wabash River Watershed - In 2015 through the Clean Water Indiana (CWI) Grant Program the Wabash County SWCD and the Miami County SWCD were awarded a $75,000 grant for cover crop application to be

spent over the next three years. The district has funds left that are secured and there will be cost-share on cover crop applications this fall. The maximum amount of acres that one can apply for is 100 and the costshare reimbursement is $20.00 an acre.

the Middle Eel. The district is now taking applications for the IDEM Clean Water Act Section 319 Grant costshare funds through Manchester University.

These funds are for cover crops, reimbursement is $45 an acre. This grant covers more than cover crops.

Other conservation practices cost-shared are Bioreactors, Control Basins, Heavy Use Area Protection, E q u i p m e n t Modification and Filter Strips.

Those who applied for either of these programs last year may reapply, but preference will be given to first time applications.

Call the Wabash County SWCD at 260563-7486 ext. 3 so they can send you an application or stop by the office at 599 Bryan Avenue to fill out your forms.

Cover crops are very beneficial to decrease soil erosion, increase soil fertility, improve water infiltration and boost over-all soil health.

Recently, the Charles Hall family of LaFontaine got together to surprise there dad who is in failing health, with a paint job on their barn.

It was like watching a movie, seeing children playing adults working, burning brushes, trimming bushes, replacing wood, garage doors rebuilt by Tony and TJ Slagle of Van Buren, and Mike Bogue of New Baltimore, Mich.

Duane Hall and his wife flew in from California.

Charles and Delores Hall moved to Indiana from Michigan in 2004. Recently Mrs. Hall found out the one room log house, was built in 1861, by 1870 two more rooms, and was added so a family of seven could move in. Charles tells everyone In 1939 Charles Hall

bought the home, and 65 years, later Charles Hall buys, it again.

The first Mr. Hall added three more rooms.

The current Mr. Hall was stricken with heart problems later cancer, so the children surprised their Dad with a working day. Mr. and Mrs. Hall have six children: Lisa and Chris Nelson of Vermontville, Mich., Debbie and Mike Bogue of New Baltimore Mich., Roxanne and Edward Stange of Turner Mich. and Kathy and Robert Bryant of Muskegon, Mich., Mr. and Mrs. Tony Slagle of Van Buren, and Fran and Duane Hall of California.

September is Voter Registration Month

ROANN AND NORTHERN MIAMI

Christmas Bazaar planned Dec. 2

INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Secretary of State Connie Lawson joins fellow members of the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) in reminding cit-

izens that September 2017 is National Voter Registration Month.

Lawson is working with Indiana’s federal, state and local leaders to make eligible voters aware of registration deadlines, encourage increased voter participation and engagement, and promote state resources that are available to help with the registration process.

“One of my top priorities as Secretary of State is to ensure that every Hoosier voter is properly registered and informed about the voting process,” said Secretary Lawson.

“Voting is a fundamen-

tal right and allows every citizen to have a voice in government. If you are unregistered, I encourage you to visit our website and submit an application right away. Those five minutes might be the most important you spend today.”

To register to vote in Indiana, visit www.IndianaVoters.com . There, Indiana residents can register, verify their registration, check their polling place, and look up contact information for local election offices.

The nation’s Secretaries of State established National

Voter Registration Month in September as a non-partisan means of encouraging voter participation and increasing awareness about state requirements and deadlines for voting, e s t a b l i s h i n g www.CanIVote.org to help voters find official state resources. Voters can help spread the word by using the hashtag #ReadyToVote on social media. NASS also supports the independentlyorganized National Voter Registration Day effort, which will be held on September 26, 2017.

Secretary Lawson has served as President of NASS since July 2017.

Triplett wins Plymouth tennis tournament

By The Paper staff

PLYMOUTH – Isaac Triplett won the Blueberry Festival tennis tourney in Plymouth.

"The quality of competition is always high and the tournament is extremely well attended," Triplett said.

He was almost eliminated in the quarterfinals as he dropped the first set 4-6, but then bounced back to win the second set 6-2 and winning the match tie breaker 10-4. The semifinals presented the most physical match as it lasted more than 2 1/2 hours. Triplett defeated the No.1 seed 6-4, 7-6 (7-4), but had little left in the tank for the finals that took place just 45 minutes after the semi-finals.

"I had my doubts if I was physically going to be able to compete in the finals, but I found the will to push through and won it 6-4, 6-3, taking the senior men's singles title,” he said. “The most challenging thing was after the finals having to try to walk back to the parking lot with my equipment bag, which is over a 1/2 mile walk. I flagged down a golf cart going by and begged for a ride."

Triplett is playing the National Grass Court Championships in Michigan later in the month and feels the match play at the Blueberry Tournament will be very beneficial to his preparation for the national championships.

THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

September 13, 2017

VIEWPOINT Use raises for other purposes Dear Editor: Since our elected officials think they need a raise, I would like to know why they think they deserve it. At one time our population was about 16,000. Now it is about 9,000. It seems we are giving more for less.

If they would get more jobs and actually do more maybe they would earn it. Spending money is what they do best.

The city has about 90 houses that need razed, but it doesn’t have the money. Put their raises toward that.

The mayor has authorized private contractors to dump at the city brush dump what should be taken to the landfill.

That land was purchased for city use. When that land is full are the contractors going to pay for what the city has to take to the landfill? You know the answer to that; the taxpayers will foot the bill.

We need people with common sense to run the city. If

the council needs more money, maybe they should move to a city that pays more.

If you would like to see how much fill is being put at the brush dump just drive up and take a look. You will be shocked. – Red Hapner, Wabash Editor’s Note: Mayor Scott Long was offered a chance to respond to the allegations made in this letter. Here is his response: I appreciate the opportunity to respond to the Letter to the Editor.

The only dumping that is taking place at our city brush

dump is by contractors who are currently working on City of Wabash road or sewer projects. We do not allow construction contractors to dump at this site if they are not involved in City of Wabash bid projects. We do allow local tree contractors to dump brush at the brush site, which is then recycled into mulch.

Those type of items are not accepted by the landfill.

I assume that Mr. Hapner is talking about the dump trucks being utilized on either the North Wabash Street project or the sewer separation projects being completed by Geiger being dumping there.

Geiger is no longer dumping their material there after we received enough material to be used to backfill basements and crawlspaces on demolished homes. Stockpiling of material for future use by the city is nothing new and has been done for years. – Mayor Scott Long

Many helped make annual cruise-in a success Dear Editor: As I sit down to write this letter, my heart is filled with gratitude and love for our small, picturesque downtown with all of its antique stores and boutiques and its loving and giving people – and my mind is filled with beautiful memories of the recent weekend.

First, I am grateful to the members of the Kunkel Foundation who continue to plan and organize the Kunkel Cruise-in each year and for all the men and women who help throughout the year and during the weekend of the car show. I am also grateful for the support of the community for this event; especially the sponsors. I appreciate everyone who participates in this show, whether they are showing a car or just coming to see all the beautiful and unique entries.

I would, also, like to include a special memorial thanks to Steve Leach, who passed away in June of this year. Steve helped with the car show from the beginning as one of the judges and was always so supportive and helpful to all those involved in preparing for the event. I am sure Steve and Dave were smiling down on us from Heaven.

The memories I have of the weekend include beautiful weather (what a blessing), lots and lots of beautiful cars and wonderful people having a good time. During this weekend, I realized how special it is to live in a community where we all work together for the good of everyone. Several shared a special memory they had of Dave or told how he had helped them.

These are precious moments I will hold in my heart and share with my family.

As we mentioned during the award ceremony, there has been a new drug developed which does slow down the progression of ALS; however, much more work needs to be done to find a cause and cure so that individuals and families no longer have to suffer the effects of this horrible disease. Please know that the profits raised from the Kunkel Cruise-in go to the MDA for ALS research.

In closing, I would like to once again thank everyone who was involved with the car show in any way as I quote from St. Paul: “I give thanks to my God at every remembrance of you, praying always with joy in my every prayer for all of you …

(Phil: 1:3-4). – Sandy Kunkel, Wabash

Learn about Constitution Dear Editor: “We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

These words written 230 years ago are the preamble to our Constitution. Constitution Week is from Sept. 17-23, celebrating the signing of this important document. Read beyond the Preamble to understand the structure of the three branches of our representative government.

Study the amendments and the Bill of Rights. Know your Constitution!

Our ancestors risked everything and fought a revolution to live without oppression, injustice, and inequality for themselves and their descendants. They won after eight years of bloody battles and long difficult negotiations with a tyrannical king. The founding fathers worked to create a living document to govern the country.

The rights bestowed on the citi-

zens of the United States by the document forged in 116 days in the summer of 1787 are still working today.

Of the 55 delegates attending the Constitutional Convention, 39 signed and three delegates dissented. Two of America’s “Founding Fathers” didn’t sign: Thomas Jefferson, Ambassador to France, and John Adams, Ambassador to Great Britain.

Although the Constitution was signed on Sept.

17, it wasn’t until 1788 that it was ratified by the necessary nine states.

George Washington established the first national “Thanksgiving Day” on Nov. 26, 1789, as a way of “giving thanks” for the Constitution.

Benjamin Franklin, signer of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, was approached by a group of citizens asking what sort of government the delegates had created. His answer was, “A republic, if you can keep it.”

If we wish to keep our republic, we must know the Constitution. — Barbara Amiss, Regent, Frances Slocum Chapter, INDAR

Echard receives Farm Credit Mid-America scholarship

By The Paper staff LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A Wabash County college student has been awarded scholarship from Farm Credit Mid-America, as part of the organization’s commitment to developing the next generation of agriculture leaders.

Kylie Echard was awarded a $1,000 scholarship based on academic record, leadership qualities and community and school involvement.

Echard attends Purdue University and plans to graduate with a major in agribusiness and agronomy.

“Ushering in the next generation of agriculture is an important part of

KYLIE ECHARD Farm Credit’s purpose to secure the future of rural communities and agriculture, and rewarding standout students is one way of recognizing those achievements,” says Dick Poe, executive vice president with Farm Credit Mid-America.

“We are eager to support students who

strive to achieve success in education and who have a passion for agriculture.”

Overall, Farm Credit Mid-America awarded more than 75 college scholarships in 2017 to students pursuing degrees related to agriculture.

Farm Credit also offers scholarships at universities and through organizations such as Ag Futures of America (AFA) and Minorities in Natural Resources and Related Sciences (MANRRS).

PERU – The Peru Sycamore Ridge Chapter of the Embroiderers’ Guild of America has been working on “Kissing Pillows” for U.S. service men and women for the past two years.

The project was started by Geraldine Trappey to support the 75th Division of the U.S. Army Reserves in 2005.

Since the beginning of 2005, there have been more than 22,000 pillows stitched for military personnel.

The program was quickly adopted to support deploying soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines across the country. Women and men donate all of the materials, stitching and finishing across the country. At each unit supported, the pillows are dis-

Fitch, Bette Fitch, Larry and Janet Stith and Paul Durbin.

105 for member Penny Burn’s grandson’s deployment to the Middle East.

This will probably be an ongoing project for many guilds as long as there is a need. If a call goes out for more, the local guild will likely help.

Thanks go to Tina Smiley who has stitched more than 250 of the pillows and to Penny Burns who has donated fabric and time to put the pillows together. The group also has received Aida cloth from the House of Stitches in LaPorte to help in the cause.

In 2009, the guild also made blankets for the CASA and Birthright organizations.

The guild bought the fleece material and the members finished the edges of the blankets for babies, children

and adults.

Guild members include Yvonne Bertke, Penny Burns, Julie Butus, Mary Ewing, Deb Fouts, Sharon Henderson, Phyllis Jeffers, Lora Lacy, Cathy Landgrave, Nancy Moss, Rita Murphy, Connie Payne, Cindy Raber, Mary Ross, Arlene Crum, Tina Smiley and Barbara Trapp.

The local chapter meets at 6:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month at the First Christian Church of West Main Street in Peru.

Anyone interested in joining are welcome to attend. Members live in Deedsville, Denver, Galveston, Greenwood, Kokomo, L o g a n s p o r t , Medaryville, Silver Lake and Peru.

New event center opens in Wabash

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A new facility to host wedding receptions, family reunions and everything in between has opened in Wabash.

The 99-seat event center is located in the RK Auction Center, 808 Manchester Ave. “We can seat 99 very comfortably in here,” owner Robert Kisner said. “We’ve got rectangle tables and chairs for them, so you don’t have to worry about bringing that.

“You can bring your own food or you can have it catered.”

The building has undergone a total makeover, inside and out. Inside features a neutral pallet that will match color schemes in most weddings and other parties, Kisner’s wife, Christy, noted.

As part of the makeover, a warming kitchen was added to the facility.

“We have a double oven, range top, microwave, huge refrigerator, and we also have a built-in ice maker separate from the refrigerator,” Kisner said.

The hall is a nosmoking facility. Beer and wine are permitted; however, those hosting the party must provide their own.

The facility also boasts a complete media system that can be hooked up to any laptop and most cell phones. Four large-screen televisions are located in the building’s corners, with speakers placed throughout the site.

Kisner said he

COVER THE WHOLE COUNTY

AN AD IN THE SERVICES SECTION OF

‘the paper’ CLASSIFIEDS

believed that the City of Wabash was in need for such a facility.

“I think Wabash needed something like this,” he said.

“When we’re not doing auctions, it would be a great thing to utilize the building.

“Wabash needs a place for people to meet and come. We’re kind of limited in Wabash on how many locations we actually have.”

Renovations to the building took several months, longer than Kisner had expected.

“It took about twice as long as we had anticipated,” he said.

“We ran into some glitches, as you always do in con-

struction. We ended up making some changes along the way, as you always do.

“This is what we wanted. The end result is something that is rustic, that is very whole feeling that we will have people come in and use.”

In addition to the reception hall, the facility also will host auctions. Some will be auctions contracted through Robert Kisner Auction Services, and others will be through Kisner’s other business, Geezers Old and New. Kisner said he tried to use as much local firms as possible during the renovations.

He thanks the following for their efforts:

Americans and women pointed to their wartime contributions years later while advocating for social and political rights.

the evolution of warfare, the construction of the American Legion Building and the Indiana War Memorial, and more.

“The Great War: From Ration Lines to the Front Lines” is made possible by Kroger.

The Center for History is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will be open to the public for free during North Manchester’s Harvest Festival, Saturday Oct. 7.

safety funds administered by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute supported overtime patrols for about 220 law-enforcement agencies across the state.

“These enforcement efforts save the lives of impaired drivers, their passengers and others out on the road,” said Sgt. Dan

Johnson. “Our commitment to enforcing traffic laws and keeping area roads as safe as possible continues throughout the year.”

Nationwide, it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher. In Indiana, drivers under 21 with a BAC of .02 or higher are subject to fines and a

license suspension for up to 1 year.

Parkview Wabash named Business of the Year

By The Paper staff Parkview Wabash Hospital will be honored as the Business of the Year at the 2017 Grow Wabash County Celebration dinner on Thursday, Oct. 12, 2017, at the Honeywell Center.

Parkview Wabash Hospital is a 25-person inpatient bed critical access hospital that provides critical

care, surgery, emergency, cancer treatment, senior behavioral health, lab and imaging services, and more. Hospital origins in the community date back as far as 1904 when what is now the Women’s Clubhouse served as Park Hospital. On Dec. 31, 1919, the hospital became Wabash County Hospital. A new, $130,000 facility opened to the public

in its present location in 1921.

The hospital joined Parkview Health in 2015 and became Parkview Wabash Hospital. Last June, Parkview Wabash Hospital broke ground on a new, $42 million dollar facility that is set to open in the summer of 2018.

With nearly 300 workers, the hospital is one of the leading employers in the county. Also

of note, Parkview Wabash Hospital will join a select group to be honored as the Business of the Year more than once, with the Wabash County Hospital receiving the award in 1986.

The Grow Wabash County Celebration Dinner is the reimagining of the traditional Annual Chamber of Commerce dinner for the new combined organization that was

formed in June 2017 with the merger of the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce and the E c o n o m i c Development Group of Wabash County. At the dinner, in addition to honoring the Business of the Year, GWC is honored to continue the tradition of naming the Wabash County Distinguished Citizen. In addition,

officials will present an update on the state of the organization, as well as present a brief look back at the evolution of the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce into the new Grow Wabash County.

The event will be held on Thursday Oct. 12, at the Honeywell Center, with a cocktail hour from 5:30–6:30 p.m. with the

dinner and awards kicking off at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets are $50 for this event.

Sponsorships are also available for the event at different levels of recognition – for more information on tickets or sponsorships contact Shelley Agness, Grow Wabash County, at 260-563-5258 o r shelley@growwabash county.com.

Dollar-for-dollar match planned for Promise program

By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — The C o m m u n i t y Foundation Promise Scholarship program is up and running for its second year.

P r o m i s e Scholarships are available to all stu-

dents in fourth through eighth grades.

Students earn P r o m i s e Scholarships by regular savings and for completing the work they are doing as part of their school curriculum.

The Promise

Scholarship Program is partnering with the 1:1 Fund, a national initiative of Prosperity Now to support children’s savings accounts through fundraising matches. During the week of Sept. 11-15, every contribution up to $500 will be

matched dollar for dollar by the 1:1 Fund. The foundation’s goal is to raise $30,000 in contributions, for a total of $60,000 to be invested and used for youth scholarships.

Contributions can be made at donate.wabashcoun-

ty.ymca.org/cfwabas h.

Program directors Nancy Alspaugh and Joanne Case spent the summer conducting focus groups to help fine tune the college and career scholarship program, update program criteria, and create

materials for the new school year.

The two women have been active at local school open houses, back-toschool nights, registrations, and meetings with teachers.

They will also visit individual classrooms to speak with students, making them aware of their scholarship assets and opportunities.

Preliminary research demonstrates 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 positively encourages student behaviors and expectations. Additionally, scholarships and savings awarded and invested early reduce financial barriers to

pursuing education after high school.

When the Promise Scholarship program launched in the 201617 school year, approximately 450 local students enrolled.

The Foundation is pleased to announce that as the second year of the program takes off, enrollment has more than doubled, with more than 900 students currently enrolled.

Enrollment for this school year is open until Oct. 30. Every student that participates in the C o m m u n i t y Foundation Promise Scholarship Program can earn up to $830 in post-secondary scholarships. The program aims to provide all Wabash County students with the assets for their future and to nurture an identity to pursue and persist in education.

Fun Float planned Sept. 23

By The Paper staff A Fun Float will take place Saturday, Sept. 23, hosted by the Wabash Chapter of the Isaak Walton League.

The event, which begins at 11 a.m., will travel along the Wabash River from

Lagro to Paradise Spring Historical Park.

Smokin’ for a Cause will have its annual event at the park that day.

The float is open to the public. All watercraft and participants must abide by Indiana statutes.

Retirees plan picnic

By The Paper staff Wabash Magnetics retirees will have a carry-in lunch at noon Wednesday, Sept. 20.

The event will be at

Grace Fellowship Church, 4652 S 100 W, Wabash.

Those attending should bring a dish to pass. Meat, drink and table service will be provided.

THE PAPER

September 13, 2017

Remembering sacrifice Word of Krom and Vigar’s personal tribute spread throughout the community and others decided to join in the next year to remember their fallen comrades in a personal way.

Since then, the tribute climb has branched out to include all of Wabash County, inviting both first responders and residents to remember Sept. 11 as a community.

Monday’s climb marked the fifth consecutive year for the event.

“I think the fire service, in general for us, it’s a big brotherhood,” Krom said.

“Unfortunately, in the U.S., we lose about 100 firemen a year on average in the line of duty.

No matter where it’s at, when you hear a firemen died, it hits us here, too.”

“We’ve had three in our county,” Vigar added. “We like doing (the tribute climb) for them too. We tend forget that it’s local, not just national.”

“Every fire we go on there’s danger,” Krom continued. “Something could go wrong and someone could get injured or have to pay the ultimate price. So I think it’s kind of a reminder for us too that this is a serious job we have and it does have consequences.”

Each year, participants are offered the opportunity to don firefighter gear as they climb. The jacket and pants alone weigh approximately 25 pounds with the full set—helmet, boots, air tank and additional tools used at an actual fire—measuring closer to 70 pounds, according to Vigar.

Despite the weight, local firemen gear up for the tribute.

“Our fire gear is made, obviously, to keep heat out and protect us from fires, but it also keeps all of your body heat in,” Krom said. “So think of it as putting on coveralls or a snowsuit and completely covered up where you can’t breath and then throw another 40 pounds on your back and then start climbing for a half hour.”

While the tribute works up a sweat for locals, it doesn’t compare to what the first responders faced at the World Trade Center in 2001.

“Here’s something big to think about,” Vigar said. “They (the 343) were going up stairwells in groups and there were thou-

sands of people going down stairwells. They weren’t just going up.

They were dodging people, carrying a hose…”

“And unfortunately none of them made it 110 floors,” Krom added. “But I can’t imagine what was going through their mind that day, walking up into a building like that. You’re looking at every floor was an acre (high) and could be on fire. I can’t imagine what was going through their minds.

They were going to work.”

“They looked up, saw the smoke and still went in,” Vigar continued. “That’s amazing and that’s why we do this to honor them.”

In addition to remembering those fallen, Krom and Vigar added an opportunity at the tribute to support fire victims that are still here. Three years ago, the tribute climb began collecting donations for the Hoosier Burn Camp and has raised more than $5,500 for the cause.

It costs approximately $1,100 to send one child to the camp, according to Krom.

“It’s always great to help the kids and you can help them on a local level,” Vigar said.

“That’s what we were looking to do, to help people in need around our community and that’s what we felt was

a great organization (to do that). It tied us in to the fire and…”

“And I did find out after the first event that there is a local girl that has been multiple times to the Hoosier Burn Camp and actually lives in Wabash,” Krom added.

Krom and Vigar said

they appreciate the community’s support of the tribute climb.

“There’s going to be numerous departments represented here today and that’s what’s makes it nice,” Vigar said.

“We all work together in this county and it shows.”

A Muncie-based PBS station plans to feature Wabash on an upcoming television series, and it needs help from local residents to do so.

“Now Entering Wabash” is the fourth installment of the PBS station’s series.

just want to come to town and tell the story of Wabash, as we see it. We want to make sure that the stories are being told by the people who live here; the people who are closely tied to those stories. The people who are really passionate about the place that they call home.”

They key aspect of telling a story for the series, she said, is to discuss something the storyteller is passionate about.

that when people talk to you about Wabash, you end up talking about, fill in the blank here,” she said.

“Maybe it’s some artist that you work with. Maybe it’s some little bits of history.

There are a lot of stories in this town.

“We know there are a lot of stories in this town. What we hope is that people find what means the most to them and they tell those stories.”

The stories, she said, don’t need to be about someone famous from Wabash or about some famous event that took place here.

“We have all those things,” Kinsey said.

“But we also have, ‘Hey, I grew up on Main Street in this town and it was the most amazing experience in our life and here are some photos and videos that show what an amazing time I had growing up on this certain street, and it was fantastic.’

“If it’s something that comes from the heart and it’s a story that you can speak passionately about, then it should be super easy for you.”

The key to the stories, she continued, are visuals in the form of either photos or video.

“You’re going to need a lot of photos

and a lot of video,” she said. “That can be video that you shoot between now and when we roll back into town to do our individual interviews. That could be video that you already have. It could be videos that you get from the library, or the museum, or a friend.

“You really can’t give us too much.”

Clemmons discussed various aspects of shooting video with the audience. For those who don’t have equipment at home, the Wabash Carnegie Public Library will have videos cameras to borrow.

WIPB crews will return to Wabash on Oct. 14 to do preliminary and final interviews with the storytellers. Once that is done, the crews will return to the studio to produce the video. A preliminary video will be screened for storytellers to make sure everything is correct. It will then return to the studios to be finalized before it airs on WIPB during an upcoming fund drive.

During the drive, Kinsey said, the storytellers will be invited to the studio to see the video and to answer telephones during the fund drive.

Roann celebrates 100 years of festivals ...continued from the front page nesses, a band, floats, tractors, classic cars and more.

Parade announcers Roderick Schram and Bob Ferguson kept those watching entertained throughout the event, reading the prepared script and often adlibbing other lines.

Schram, who stood near the entrance to the reviewing stand, held a small net, trying to entice those throwing candy to throw some into it.

On several occasions he was able to grab the candy from midair, piling it up on the nearby table.

“The cooperation of the people in the community is just fabulous,” parade chair Valerie Doud

said. “People know that we’re going to be organized about it and that it’s going to be a fun time.”

There are generally about 100 entries in the parade, she said, adding that the 100th anniversary of the festival may have drawn more entries this year.

Overall, she said, organizers are pleased with the success of this year’s festival.

“It’s just been so much fun,” she said.

Rain threatened to dampen things on Friday night.

“There were a couple of sprinkles,” she said. “But people only had to put up with it being a little cool.”

Members of the Northfield High School band perform a number along the parade route.

According to Draper, the ordinance is an update to a previous county ordinance governing the cost of bulk copies of all documents from the recorder’s office, necessitated by Indiana Senate Bill No. 505.

“It is required by state law that we provide images of all documents that are non-confidential,” Draper said.

“It increases it by three cents per image.”

The ordinance defines “bulk form copy” as an aggregation of copies of all documents received by the recorder in a specified period of time, as well as the indices for such documents.

A bulk user, according to the ordinance, is an entity that receives bulk form copies under contract with the recorder.

The commissioners passed the ordinance unanimously, and then changed the rules to pass the ordinance on second reading during the meeting, rather than having to revisit it next week.

Additional news from the commissioners included an update from County Highway Superintendent John Martin, who said that his department has completed 48 miles of chip and seal road work, and the weekly jail report from Sheriff Bob Land.

“As of this morning, I have 83 in our facility.

We’re holding 48 in Miami County and four in Elkhart County, for a total of 135. We have one housed in Wells County at this time,” Land said.

He added that there were 17 new book-ins last week and nine prisoner transports, and that there was a peak population of 85 in the Wabash County Jail last week.

The training session will be conducted by Huntter Randall, corporate training coordinator for the Bowen Center.

Randall is a highly-skilled trainer who brings a vast background of meaningful and applicable experiences to his training sessions.

Visit Wabash County to oversee Manchester group

By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — Manchester Main Street (MMS) Board of Directors unanimously voted to secure Visit Wabash County (VWC) for support services for the remainder of 2017.

Effective Sept. 1, Visit Wabash County will assume the daily operations on behalf of Manchester Main Street as a way to leverage member services.

Since August 2016, the Board of Directors for MMS have operated the organization without staff or external support in a focusedeffort to work toward drafting a long-term strategic plan that advances the mission and scope of work of the organization.

Securing support for the last quarter of the fiscal year from Visit Wabash County

will allow the board to standardize office operations and best business practices.

“The Manchester Main Street Board has worked diligently to increase membership value while executing a progressive scope of work,” MMS board president Tim Brauch said. “We recognize that now is the time to enlist support services from Visit Wabash County as we begin the next phase of development.”

Visit Wabash County has successfully served a similar role in the past, offering support services to Wabash Marketplace, the sister organization to Manchester Main Street, while the staff position was vacant.

“Successful Main Streets are critical to the economic vitality of communities,” said Christine Flohr, executive director of

tourism for Visit Wabash County. “ A s s i s t i n g Manchester Main Street as they transition through the next phase of their strategic plan is a role we will gladly serve. “ Manchester Main Street seeks to stimulate revitalization of downtown and the North Manchester community through economic development, citizen participation and historic preservation.

“Stakeholders throughout North Manchester chose to invest their resources in our town,” said MMS secretary Susan Manwaring said.

“The MMS Board takes their commitment seriously and we are dedicated to seeing North Manchester flourish.”

Visit Wabash County will offer support services through Dec. 30, 2017.
