Mayoral candidates discuss issues By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The three Wabash mayoral candidates squared off Wednesday night, Oct. 7, in the only formal debate featuring all three candidates. Approximately 125 people watched in person as the candidates – Republican Scott Long, Democrat Margaret “Boo” Salb and Independent Wade Weaver – answered 19 questions that were either submitted by the public or prepared by the staff of The Paper of Wabash County. In addition to those in attendance at the Historic Eagles Theatre, about 175 people watched the debate streaming live on Wabash WebTV and, as of Monday morning, another 355 have watched the debate on the WebTV archive. The debate, sponsored by The Wabash County Chamber of Commerce and The Paper of Wabash County, allowed the candidates two minutes for an opening statement and three

opted not to have time for rebuttals. The questions ranged from TIF districts and tax abatements for personal property to the drug problem facing the city

WHS team raises funds for breast cancer awareness

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash High School volleyball varsity and junior varsity teams are donning pink jerseys throughout October for their seventh consecutive year in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and raise funds for “Kills for a Cure.” The Lady Apaches sported this year’s pink jerseys for the first time last Thursday, Oct. 8, for their Pink Night/Senior Night against the Peru Tigers. Prior to Pink Night, the teams split into groups of three or four players and visited local service organizations and businesses informing the community about the fundraiser, its purpose and asking for participants to make flat donations or pledge a donation per kill. For example, if a person

pledge would then donate $30. (continued on page 4)

Thousands are expected to converge on the Paradise Spring Historical Park on Saturday as the park will become, in the words of one local official, a giant front porch. The park is the scene of the 13th annual Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity Chili Cook-off. Tasting will begin at noon and admission is $5. As of late last week, about 90 chili teams were registered to participate in the event, Chili committee chair Todd Titus said. “That’s pretty much in the range of what we’ve been used to in the past years,” he said. “It’s not much of a concern to us right now. We know we’ll have some of the CASI (Chili Appreciation Society International) teams coming in Saturday morning to register. “We’re pretty confident that we’ll be at 100 teams, or slightly

more than 100 teams.” Titus did stress there are several new safety measures in place to which chili teams must be aware. “We do want to emphasize safety rules,” he said. “Propane tanks need to be secured so they don’t tip. We need to keep vehicles – if they are at a site where they can park vehicles – we need to keep them away from their site as far as possible. “We have limited tents to 20feet-by-10-feet-by-12-feet tall. You can’t have any covered area on your site exceeding those measurements. “As far as the display, no part of the display shall be greater than 12-feet. We do want to emphasize that.” All the proceeds from this year’s event will benefit nine local charities. This year’s recipients are 85 Hope, Foundation for Art & Music in Education, Honeywell (continued on page 9)

Traffic stop leads to two Wabash locals’ arrests, drug charges By The Paper staff PLYMOUTH—Two Wabash residents were arrested on drug related charges Saturday, Oct. 3, following a traffic stop in Marshall County. At approximately 9:35 p.m., a Marshall County Police Department officer initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle for a violation, which occurred on U.S. 31, according to the official news release. The violation was not listed in the release. During the stop, the officer determined that the driver, Don Cantrell, 54, Wabash, was in possession of substances including heroin, methamphetamine and prescription medication, according to the police report. Passenger Brittany Fields, 24, Wabash, was also found to be in possession of pre-

scription medication for which she had no prescription, the report continued.

MU students are pen pals with death-row inmates By Emily Barrand MU Communications Specialist Hand-writing a letter is uncommon these days. Handwriting letters to death-row inmates is even less common. However, more than 40 Manchester University students are writing letters to 56 such inmates. Based out of Liberty Mills, Ind., the Death Row Support Project of the Church of the Brethren is an organization “that facilitates pen pal relationships between those on death row and those on the outside,” according to its website. Rachel Gross, director of the project in Liberty Mills, contacted MU sophomore Annika Harley of Madison, Wisc., to begin the program at Manchester. Prisoners on death row may spend as many as 23 hours alone each day. Often, even their families stop corresponding with them. The program allows inmates to have an outlet to the outside, to know about what is occurring beyond the prison walls. “It’s mostly a communication avenue,” said Carole MillerPatrick, director of the MU Center for S e r v i c e Opportunities and North Manchester, Ind. resident. “A lot of these people are in

to the outside world.” Stacy EricksonPesetski, associate dean for academic resources and associate professor of English who lives in Fort Wayne, Ind., is teaching a first-year seminar course this semester at Manchester called “Orange is Not the New Black,” inspired by her sabbatical work last year at P e n d l e t o n Correctional Facility. Erickson-Pesetski suggested her students participate in the Death Row Support Project to help them connect course material to the real world. “This isn’t from a book; these are real prison-

ers,” she said. “They still need human contact. They deserve some humanity.” Although participating is optional, 17 of EricksonPesetski’s 19 students in the seminar chose to do so. Any student who signs up for the program must commit to writing for one year. “You’ve got someone in prison looking forward to your letters,” Miller-Patrick said. What do students write about? Sports, TV shows and books, or just the daily life of a college student. Students do not seal the letters they write until someone in the CSO office has looked them over. “It’s not that we don’t trust our students; we read them over to make sure that the correspondence is safe,” Miller-Patrick said. No one edits the letters or tells students not to ask certain questions, she said. They merely supervise. “We’re just safeguarding.” No one reads the letters from the prisoners, except for the student pen pal. “The students share what they get back openly,” MilerPatrick added. “We bring them together

THE PAPER 4 WHS team raises funds for breast cancer awareness ... continued from the front page www.thepaperofwabash.com

October 14, 2015

Coach Katie Cromer told The Paper of Wabash County the annual event began in 2009 after she attended a coaching clinic with then-head coach Amy Degitz. “We went down to Indianapolis to a coaching clinic and they were selling pink jerseys and doing this ‘Dig Pink’ campaign which I think is more of a national campaign,” she continued. “And we thought we would go ahead

... continued from the front page drug problem,” Fuller asked, “how do you plan to address and reduce the rampant drug problem that plagues the city of Wabash?” Long said, “We do need to arrest drug dealers, but we do also need to utilize resources available to help a drug addict to get into treatment, if that’s what they desire. “We don’t need to reinvent the wheel. Gloucester, Mass., has started a program where an addict can turn themselves into the police department there, and they will assist them in seeking treatment. If they can do that, then we don’t have to arrest them. “Currently in the jail … we have 85 inmates at Wabash County Jail and 41 inmates at the Miami County Jail. We have to pay $35 a day to house an inmate in Miami County. I believe I did the calculation and that comes up to $1,435 a day, and that’s paid for with tax money. We have to help the situation two-fold.” Weaver said, “It’s bad, and it may be worse than you think. “I’ve been proactive already. I got some people saying you probably shouldn’t have done that. I want the guy heading up the Drug Task Force to be the chief of police when Larry Schnepp retires. Only because Larry Schnepp is retiring would I have made that announcement. I believe Matt Rebholz came to me after I asked him the first time, with all of the things I really wanted to make sure got done. Are all of them being done now? No. But he’s got a good plan with officers wanting to be available to help out. “I’m hoping he’ll rejuvenate not only our drug task force, but our entire police force. If it’s that bad of a problem, we need more than four people working on it. I’m not saying we only arrest people, but I don’t want them living next to

me. I love business. I want business being in this community, but I don’t want drug dealers in business at all.” Like the others, Salb admitted there was a drug problem. “We’ve had a problem for a long time,” she said. “I’d like to see the people who want help be able to go to a facility and be able to get the help that they need. I think the schools should educate the kids on these drugs. These drugs that they are putting into their bodies are nothing like they used to be. It’s amazing what people will do. “I think our police department, as well as our Drug Task Force have done a really good job. It’s just an ongoing problem, and Wabash isn’t the only city dealing with this. It’s a problem all over the country, and we need to get a handle on it. I think that the community needs to come together and not be afraid to speak up if they see something in their neighborhood. “I know we have a lot of problems with rentals, with some of the rentals and the drug problems there. We need landlords to take a proactive (stance) in getting rid of people who are dealing drugs and living in their area.” As a follow-up, Fuller said, “Some may believe that because few details about arrests made by the city’s Drug Task Force is released, the Task Force isn’t effective. What would you do as mayor to correct that belief ?” “First of all I’ve had this conversation with the prosecutor, I’ve had the conversation with the sheriff, I’ve head the conversation with the head of the Drug Task Force, currently,” Weaver said. “There are certain things that you can say and do, and there are also certain things that might hurt an investigation coming. “I just trust the decision I made and I trust the answer I’m

getting. Bill Hartley, the prosecutor, I’ve had to beg him to give me stuff for the radio. I want to tell people that we’re doing this. But the answers I’m getting from the professionals in this business, and what they do, is we can’t announce all of this stuff all of the time. The only way I can help people understand that it’s working is if you hire me to be the mayor, and you trust me enough to do that, then trust me enough to know that I’m getting the job done and really making sure that my police chief and everyone else involved is doing the job.” Salb said, “I know that there are certain situations in which we can’t announce arrests and things like that because there are people that work behind the scene. I just think that it’s important that the task force works with the rest of the police department to take care of the problem, and not just split the department where it’s only the Drug Task Force and only the police department. I think they need to work as a team on this. “I understand the reasoning behind a lot of confidentiality.” Long, who has been on the police department for nearly 22 years, said, “We just implemented a Public Information Officer with the department, Sgt. Matt Benson. If we’re talking about drug arrests, that means the people have already been arrested, I see no reason why we could not do a press release to notify the public that these people have been arrested and what the charges were. “There are cases where people don’t get arrested right away and a warrant for their arrest may drop later. But if you’re in the social media and you read the newspapers, counties around us make arrests and they issue press

releases for those arrests, that way the community knows what’s going on.” Mike Rees, General Manager of The Paper of Wabash County, was pleased with the turnout for the debate, as well as with the number of people who have viewed the debate on WebTV. “I’m glad we were able to participate in this important event,” he said. “I’d like to thank Kim Pinkerton and the members of the C h a m b e r ’ s Government Affairs Committee for their efforts. “I’d also like to thank Tod Minnich, Brittany Rager and everyone at the H o n e y w e l l Foundation who allowed the debate to be held at the Eagles and who helped in preparing the venue for the event.”

DNR seeks volunteers for ‘Snapshot IN’ trail cam project From the Department of

Natural Resources The DNR is looking for volunteers for a new study called “Snapshot IN” that will use trail cameras to gather information on Indiana wildlife. Volunteers must have at least 10 acres and be willing to set up a provided trail camera on their property this fall. The DNR hopes to find between 20 and 100 volunteers, according to wildlife biologist Shawn Rossler. “Gathering accurate data on the distribution and relative abundance of wildlife species statewide can be extremely challenging for biologists,” Rossler said. “Working with citizen scientists, the DNR

hopes to understand how animals are using various land types in Indiana.” Snapshot IN will run during October and November, when many wildlife species are active. The DNR will provide each landowner with the same camera model, with the same settings. Volunteers cannot use attractants or baits during the study. This includes birdseed, compost, grill residue or chemical attractants. Volunteers should try to place the camera near a game trail or water source to capture animals in a place they would natu r a l l y congregate. All materials will be loaned by the DNR Division of

Fish & Wildlife and must be returned in acceptable condition at the end of the sampling period. All photos and videos will be property of the state. At the end of the survey period, copies of photos and videos of interest will be provided to landowners. “The results from this year’s pilot study will be used to fine tune protocols and improve the study design for coming years,” Rossler said. If you are interested in becoming a Snapshot IN volunteer, click on “Service Project Listings” at wildlife.IN.gov/8301.h tm. Due to limited supplies, not all applicants will be contacted to participate.

Two certified as floodplain managers By The Paper staff Rudy Vugteveen and Brandon Sanders have successfully passed the certification examination for registration as a Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM), officials from Randall Miller & Associates (RMA) announced. This certification is a nationally accredited program of the Association of State Floodplain Managers (ASFPM) and requires

an in-depth knowledge of seven categories of floodplain management. The primary goal of the ASFPM Certified Floodplain Manager Program is to help reduce the nation’s flood losses and protect and enhance the natural resources and functions of its floodplains by improving the knowledge and abilities of floodplain managers in the United States.

Currently, there are only 108 Certified Floodplain Managers in Indiana. RMA now has four Certified Floodplain Managers on staff. RMA is a full-service, multi-disciplinary firm providing land surveying, civil engineering, and construction engineering services with headquarters in Marion and branch offices in Muncie, Wabash, Logansport, and Monticello.

The monthly meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) took place on Tuesday, September 8th at the Grandstaff Hentgen Activity Room, Wabash with eleven members present. Joyce Joy, Regent, opened the meeting with the DAR ritual. Devotions were given by Mary Jenet P e n r o d , Chaplain. Regent Joy read the September President General’s message from Lynn Forney Young. As the group celebrates the 125th anniversary of its founding on Oct. 11, 2015, it has been Honoring Our Heritage by reflecting on the history of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Barbara Amiss shared the National Defender report on the signing of the Constitution of the United States at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pa., 228 years ago on Sept. 17, 1787. The constitution sets forth the nation’s fundamental laws. It establishes the form of the national government and defines the rights and liberties of the American people. It also lists the aims of the government and the methods of achieving them. N a t i o n a l Constitution Week is Sept. 17-23, 2015. A report was given on the Aug. 8 DAR Northeast District Meeting in Bristol. The chapter received a citation certificate for outstanding Chapter Achievement Award at Level 1, 2014, and an award from the Celebrate America! Committee for Serving Its Community, June 2015. Members were encouraged to attend

the Sept. 18-19 Indiana DAR Fall Forum at The Palms, Plainfield, where the keynote speaker will be the President General Lynn Forney Young. Current volunteer hours in Celebrate America for the chapter were 2,046. Seven members recently completed 36 hours of cleaning and inventorying various glassed displays at the Wabash County Historical Museum toward the celebrate 125 years A n n i v e r s a r y Project. Members voted to contribute $25 for the new Education Center Wall at the Museum. Plans are being made to do a memorial service at the Frances Slocum grave site on Oct. 11, 2015. The chapter prepared 86 thank you cards for the veterans on the upcoming Oct. 7 Honor Flight. Members showed interest in attending the welcome home ceremonies for the Sept. 16 and Oct. 7 at the Fort Wayne International Airport. Diane Knight, Northern District Director, member of the General James Cox Chapter, Kokomo, gave the program. She shared the Children of the American Revolution (CAR) state project which is funding for the Jackson Street Commons in Kokomo. It is permanent and supportive housing for chronically homeless disabled veterans. It is a fact that 12 percent of the homeless adult population is veterans. She then presented three women who were influential in corresponding with our Nations Fathers. First was Annis Boudinet Stockton, poet and wife of Declaration

signer Richard Stockton of Princeton, N.J. Annis was one of the first women to be published in the Thirteen Colonies. The Stockton estate was known as Morven. The Stocktons paid dearly for their revolutionary activities when General Cornwallis reached Princeton. The British officer and army ransacked their estate, destroying valuable papers (Annis’ early poems), library, home and lands and everything valuable. Richard was jailed in 1776 and released in January, 1777, but his health would never be the same. Annis Stockton was well known throughout the Revolution for her patriotic verse. One of her poems drew a courtly acknowledgment from General Washington to whom it was addressed. “Another, Welcome, Might Chief, Once More!” was sung by the young women of Trenton while Washington was passing through Princeton on his way to his first inauguration. Annis died Feb. 6, 1801, at age 64. Eliza Lucas Pinckney’s favorite subject was botany. At the age of 16, she became responsible for managing supervising three plantations in South Carolina. She was famous for her successful experiments to make a highquality blue dye from the indigo plant which was used in military uniforms and in dress coats of the day. In the early 1750s, Eliza decided to start a silk farm as an experiment. In 1753, at an audience with Augusta, the Dowager Princess of Wales, in London, Eliza presented the princess with a dress made of

silk produced on the Pinckney plantations. She died after a brief illness in 1793 in Philadelphia, where she had been taken for treatment and is buried there. At his own request, George Washington was a pallbearer. Mercy Otis Warren was a political writer and propagandist of the American Revolution. She is considered by some to be the first American woman to write primarily for the public, rather than for herself. In 1805, she published one of the earliest histories of the American Revolution, a three-volume “History of the Rise, Progress, and Termination of the A m e r i c a n Revolution.” This was the first history of the American Revolution to have been authored by a woman. She became a correspondent and adviser to many political leaders, including John Hancock, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and especially John Adams, who became her literary mentor in the years leading to

the Revolution. Mercy died in 1814, at the age of 86 in P l y m o u t h , Massachusetts. The next meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter will be Tuesday, Oct. 13, at 7 p.m. at the Grandstaff Hentgen Activity Room, Wabash. The speaker will be Mike Mullenix on the “Life of an Everyday Soldier in the Revolutionary War.” Prospective members and guests are always welcome to attend.

Thousands expected for 13th Chili for Charity Chili Cook-off

... continued from the front page E d u c a t i o n , H o n e y w e l l Educational Outreach Program, Manchester Early Learning Center, North M a n c h e s t e r Historical Society, The Access Youth Center, Town of Roann, Wabash Challenger League and Wabash County Transit. While tasting for the cook-off doesn’t begin until noon Saturday, teams can learn where the cooking site is located and begin setting up at 8 a.m. Friday. “(Site locations) will be posted on the shelter,” Titus said. “Set up instructions also are there. They need to read those and understand those before they set up. About 85 percent of the people are returnees, so they’ve been there before.” Titus said his favorite part of the weekend is Friday. “As far as the day of, it goes pretty fast,” he said. “The day before is enjoyable, watching people set up and they’re excited about it.” Christine Flohr, director of Visit Wabash County, believes the cook-off is one way the community has to show off all that it has to offer. “The Chili Cook-off has become one of those reoccurring events that not only unites the local community, but has become a favorite among those who travel to Wabash to experience the sense of authentic collaboration and community spirit that Wabash tends to offer whenev-

er they organize an event like this,” she said. “So, what happens is because of its notoriety and the quality of event that the Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity Chili Cook-off has become known for, we have seen an influx from those from outside Wabash County visiting our community and getting exposure to all there is to see and do outside of Chili Cookoff, and then your hope is they will come back to something else that might interest them.” Flohr, who also is a member of the Chili committee, is in charge of securing judges to rate the booths in the showmanship competition. Because of her work with the committee, she hardly has time to participate in the rest of the day’s activities. “Favorite part about the event is the joy that is communicated between those who are cooking chili and those who are tasting chili,” she said. “There is this connection that people have with one another. Whether it’s rivalry between cooking teams that’s friendly; whether it’s the people coming and seeing each other if they haven’t seen one another for a really long time, it becomes like the front porch where they have conversations. “Honestly, that is my favorite part is to watch these people connect. It’s the fun cooks have needling another team. It’s the fun teams have preparing and cooking and sharing and

laughing and joking with your teammates and with the people that come to your booth. And then you like making chili. They enjoy making chili and they like to watch the people’s reactions when they taste the chili.” Because of limited parking spots downtown and the heavy influx of people expected, both Titus and Flohr reminded individuals that Wabash County Transit will offer shuttle service to and from the Wabash High School parking lot. The first bus leaves the school at 11:30 a.m., and the last bus leaves Paradise Spring at 4:30 p.m. In addition, Flohr noted, Trolley No.85 will provide free trips to and from the Honeywell Center, where the Farmer’s Market will be taking place Saturday morning, and the American Heritage Craft Show will also be taking place. The Farmer’s Market runs from 8 a.m. to noon in the parking lot of the Wabash Elks Lodge and the Center. The juried arts and crafts show runs from 9 a.m. to noon. “Because people enjoy riding the trolley for more than just transportation between events, it will make a few scheduled stops to incorporate more than just the downtown area,” she said “It will loop up by the Wabash Carnegie Public Library, as well as, of course, at Paradise Spring Historical Park and the Honeywell Center.”

Elks help Blessings in a Backpack: Wabash Elks Exalted Ruler Joseph Slacian surprises Jenny Wilson, director of the Wabash Blessings in a Backpack organization, with a $900 check for the group. The money came from an Elks National Foundation Gratitude Grant. Members of the Wabash Lodge volunteer the second Thursday of every month during the school year to help prepare bags of food for more than 500 children in kindergarten through third grade in the Wabash City Schools District and the Metropolitan School District of Wabash County. The program helps ensure those youngsters have nutritious meals for the weekend. Photo provided

But, did you know the community was named for a Miami Chief Le Gris? Further, it is not the only community in Indiana named Lagro. The population was 415 at the 2010 census. And for you science buffs the latitude of Lagro is 40.838 N. The Longitude is -85.73 W. The elevation is 705 feet and is located along the Wabash River opposite the mouth of the Salamonie River. Kerr Lock offers some history for the town of Lagro. Kerr Lock is still visible on the Wabash Erie Canal. The canal was extended to the Ohio River. To lure Irish and German Immigrants to work

on the canal, the trustees offered land around the canal for very attractive prices. This brought the necessary labor into the area, but it also brought conflicts. It was said that while building a section of the canal near Lagro, Indiana, a great riot broke out between Irish Catholics and Irish Protestants. It was so big that the State Milita had to be brought in to settle it. Yet, the entire canal eventually opened officially on July 4, 1843 to get cele b r a t i o n . Unfortunately for the lovers of the canal, a new less costly source of transportation was on the horizon. A steam powered machine placed on rails could transport goods a lot faster than the slower canal. By the time of the Civil War, canal use began to greatly diminish. Finally, in 1874 the last canal boat docked in Huntington, and the Great Waterway was abandoned. OFFICIALS AT DORA CHRISTIAN CHURCH located at 2325 S. Salamonie Dam Road, Lagro, would like to invite all to its services. Sunday school meets at 9:30 a.m. with Sunday Worship meeting at 8:15 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Also offered is the Weekly Wednesday Night Bible Study which is held at 6:30 p.m. A WOMENS SHELTER IS BECOMING A REALITY for the Lord’s Table Church.

VIEWPOINT Officials appreciate Arts festival was a success help for CROP Walk Dear Editor: A card of thanks to all who helped with the 2015 Wabash County CROP Walk on Sunday, Oct. 4. About 50 walkers gathered at Petersime Chapel on the M a n c h e s t e r University Campus and were commissioned for the walk at 2 p.m. by Campus Pastor Walter J. Wiltschek. Stan Beery gave instructions for the routes to be taken and then David Sollenberger led the group in singing “Guide My Feet.” The group of community members and

University students then walked to join the efforts to end world hunger along the streets of town. Brian Helvey served as host at the Firehouse Way Station. Mel Sautter and Judy Stofleth provided wheeled escort service for the walkers. The group returned to reports from Treasurer Jim Shively that the pledges, donations and gifts they received totaled over $7000! Church World Service oversees the distribution of these funds to help feed hungry people the

world over, with 25% of the proceeds of this year’s walk remaining in Wabash County for local food pantries. The M a n c h e s t e r University Soccer Team, coached by Dave Good led the student category by raising over $1000 from MU students. Full totals will be announced soon. To all the donors, walkers, helpers, and past Chairperson Kay Batdorf, our sincere appreciation for a job well done. — Pastors JP Freeman & Sebrena Cline for the CROP Walk Committee.

‘You don’t qualify’ Dear Editor: It was super time and my phone rang. “Hello, may I talk to Delbert King?” I heard from the other end of the line. “I am he; what can I do for you?” I say. “I am taking a farm crop survey, which will take only about 10

minutes and if you qualify, I’ll send you $10.” I took the bait and answered her questions: Acres of corn, beans planted, chemicals used, and so forth. When her questions were answered and just before she hung

up, I said, “I have one question: What about the $10. “Oh, you don’t qualify,” she replied. Let it never be said of any of use that at the end of life’s journey, “Oh, you don’t qualify.” – Delbert King, Huntington

Dear Editor Manchester Main Street is extremely grateful for all the wonderful community support that helped make last weekend’s 3rd Annual Eel River Arts Festival a huge success. The September 12 event, showcasing North Manchester’s talented entertainers and amazing regional artists, would not have been possible without the partnership of the Town of North Manchester, North Manchester Garden Club, Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church and The Firehouse. The Eel River Gardens, located at the intersection of Main and Market Streets in the heart of downtown, was beautifully transformed into a festive venue for creativity, imagination and fun. Set against the backdrop of North Manchester’s historic streetscape and overlooking the Eel River, what better way to highlight our beautiful town and scenic river? Saturday’s Art Fair featured the unique pottery, jewelry, paint-

ing, mixed media and photography of 15 area artists – Hannah B u r n w o r t h (Milkhouse Studio), Vicki Carpenter (Vicki Lynn Jewelry), Kristy Church (Black Squirrel), Donna Clevenger (Recycled Fun 4 U), Roxanne Coffelt (Shanghai Tai), Susan Delauter (Life Repurposed), Monte Ellson (Big City Skylines), Carolina Forman (Sticky Stone), Britta Glass, Michele Graham (Michele Marie P h o t o g r a p h y, Photography by Jason Lenon, Marcy Pratt (True Beauty Dolls), Rick Reiff (Reiffhaus Studios), Fine Art by Susan Ring, Sue S c a m i h o r n ( S c a m i h o r n Stoneware). And, culinary artist, Masters Hand BBQ, served up samples of their “Taste of Heaven” products. Art demonstrations were provided by North Manchester artist, Annie Shilling (pottery making), and Roann’s Restoration Services (weaving). Sonshine Greenhouse offered fall flowering mums, and decorative

kale, pumpkins and gourds for sale. And, local musicians performed through the day: Dave Hicks, Ken Preston, Linda Kummernuss, Greg and Annie Clark, Dale Carpenter, Andrew Chinworth, Maya Hippensteel, Kerry Flanigan, and JP Freeman. Kids activities included craft making workshops, and Michele Marie Photography’s Fall Fun Photobooth for the entire family. And, Manchester Main Street provided delicious food for sale prepared by Main View and Nordmann’s Nook. We extend a heartfelt thank you to the Manchester Main Street Board members, countless volunteers and event attendees who played a huge role in creating a memorable Eel River Arts Festival. Special recognition goes out to Susan Manwaring for her tremendous help in organizing the kids craft activities and food, Dale Carpenter for coordinating the musical line-up, Janet Ecklebarger for creat-

ing and furnishing the on-site event banner, Jeff Diesburg and The Graphic Brand for advertising and marketing materials graphic design, JP Freeman for sound, and Lark Killingbeck, Diane Nettleton, and M a n c h e s t e r University’s Artist Anonymous members, Angela Gonsiorwski, Sara Joll, Glyniss King, Jessica Klemm, Rebecca MinnichUllom, and Sarandon Smith, for assisting and inspiring Saturday’s craft making creativity.

What a smoking ordinance would entail

Dear Editor: Many do not understand what a Comprehensive smokefree ordinance would do. It would protect everyone from the dangers of secondhand smoke. Not just a select few. I can appreciate the struggle our legislators may have in supporting a comprehensive smoke-free ordinance. However, with the proper information about the dangers of secondhand smoke, a comprehensive law makes since to protect the wellbeing of all constituents in our communities. Currently the state of Indiana has a smoke-free law that protects those in public businesses and restaurants. Not everyone is protected. Every two years bars and private clubs can apply for exemption from this state law. If they are exempt, no one under 21 years of age can enter that establishment. Which means those

that work and tend bar at these locations are exposed to the tobacco related diseases and death caused by secondhand smoke. They become victims of those that feel they have the “right” to endanger the health of those around them. At these locations, the right to smoke trumps those who have the right to breathe clean air. Each year in the United States, over 41,000 adult deaths are attributable to secondhand smoke breathed by nonsmokers. Of these deaths, each year, 7,000 are due to lung cancer, and approximately 34,000 are due to heart disease. An estimated 1,426 people in Indiana die prematurely each year due to secondhand smoke exposure. Exposure to secondhand smoke is one of the leading causes of preventable death. Secondhand smoke has been shown to cause heart disease, cancer,

respiratory problems, eye, and nasal irritation. Exposure to secondhand smoke takes place in the home, public places, worksites and vehicles. Secondhand smoke is classified as a Group A carcinogen (cancer causing agent) under the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) carcinogen assessment guidelines. It contains over 7,000 chemicals, including more than 70 carcinogens and other irritants and toxins. Secondhand smoke costs Indiana approximately $1.3 billion in excess medical expenses and premature loss of life, or about $201 per person each year. The U.S. Surgeon General has concluded that: Smoke-free workplace policies are the only effective way to eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke in the workplace. Separating smokers from nonsmokers,

cleaning the air, and ventilation buildings cannot eliminate exposure. Blue collar and service employees are less likely than white-collar indoor workers to be covered by smoke-free policies. Workplace smoking restrictions lead to less smoking among workers. Eighteen communities in Indiana (Delaware Co., Hancock Co., Monroe Co., Vanderburgh Co., Vigo Co., Cumberland, Elkhart, Fort Wayne, Franklin, Greencastle, Terre Haute, West Lafayette, Zionsville, B l o o m i n g t o n , C o l u m b u s , Indianapolis, Lawrence, and Plainfield), have passed comprehensive smoke-free air ordinances which cover all work places, including bars and private clubs, ensuring all workers are protected from secondhand smoke. These eighteen comprehen-

sive ordinances cover approximately 28 percent of all residents in Indiana. There is clear evidence that smoke-free legislation does not hurt restaurant or bar businesses, and in some cases, business may improve. (American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2010). The Surgeon General’s 2014 Report concluded that employers are likely to save money by implementing policies for smokefree workplaces. Savings include costs associated with such things as fire risk, damage to property and furnishings, cleaning, workers’ compensation, disability, retirement, injuries, and life insurance. The largest economic impact study of smoke-free laws to date showed that smoke-free laws in 216 communities in eight different states had no significant association with economic outcomes in

restaurants and bars in seven of the eight states. Therefore, statewide smoke-free air laws are not expected to have an adverse economic impact on restaurants or bars in these states (CDC, Preventing Chronic Disease, 2013). There are reduced heart, lung and respiratory disease in communities that have comprehensive smoke free ordinances. Compared to a control community with no smoke-free workplace law, Monroe County experienced a 59 percent net decrease in hospital admissions for heart attacks in nonsmokers, with no prior cardiac history, during the study period which tracked 22 months prior to and following the law. Monroe County and Bloomington both have comprehensive smokefree workplace law. (Journal of Drug Education, 2007) There are also Increased quit

attempts by smokers when a comprehensive law is enforced. Studies have found that requiring all workplaces to be smoke-free would reduce smoking prevalence by 10 percent. Workplace laws have their greatest impact on groups with the highest smoking rates. In addition, employees in smoke-free workplaces have higher rates of smoking cessation than employees where smoking is permitted. The average adult smoker costs employers $3,400.00 a year in lost productivity and excess medical expenses. (CDC: Coverage for tobacco use cessation treatments: why, what, and how. 2003) Reduced youth initiation to smoking occurs in communities with comprehensive smoke-free laws. Indiana data on youth smoking strongly suggest that smoke-free homes are associated with significantly (continued on page 15)

Why chip and seal?

Transportation, or INDOT. I complained to the INDOT Crew Chief Jeff Butcher on Aug. 20 about the chip and seal repair on Ind. 13. He assured me that Purdue’s Road School stated t his will last for five years. I’m not a highway engineer, but when I

walk to pick up the mail, and wait for the heavy fast truck traffic, I can see the separation in the road. This is in a little over a month. Chip and seal works on less traveled county roads, but when used on heavy traffic roads, I think it should be

called “cheat and seal.” The section of State Road 13 to monitor over the next five years is the west lane, north of Urbana. Salt and winter will be tough on this sad excuse for road repair. – Charles W. Signs, North Manchester

Lighthouse Mission gives back to community

Dear Editor When you give the Lighthouse Mission you give back to Wabash County. The Lighthouse Mission is a non-profit Thrift Store that has been operating in Wabash County for the last 10years. We exist to serve men, women and children in an effort to change lives. This ministry is designed to meet the practical and spiritual needs of those in crisis situations. We are able to do this daily by offering goods and products at low to no cost. When people donate, whether it be physical or financial, they are sending it back into the Wabash Community. We would like to express our deepest heartfelt gratitude for all the help we received from you, the donor. Our prayer is that God will continue to stir your heart for those who are less fortunate. Your donations and gifts make a difference in hundreds of homes. Some of the key factors of our operation come in the form of physical and monetary gifts. Another thing that keeps the mission functioning is those who donate their time. Volunteers range from students, churches, ARC, Day Reporting, community service and individuals. Volunteers help assist with many daily tasks. Here are a few testimonies:

“The Lighthouse Mission plays such an important role here in Wabash County. It provides clothing and home goods through the generous donations they receive from the community. As a regular customer I’ve donated and shopped here from the beginning. The Mission feeds both the body and soul.” – Joanne. “Even though I have volunteered at other places, I love to volunteer here because of different things to do. I like the staff and customers. Shirlee started bring me from ARC. I like to do anything that needs to be done.” — ARC volunteer and Shirlee. “Thank God for the Lighthouse Mission.” – Bettie. “Ten good years, the best place in town The Lighthouse does the most charity work in Wabash County.” — Chris “The Lighthouse Mission for years has meant more to me than just another store. Through the stress of life I knew that not only would I find hidden treasures but also a calmness of spirit. Now as an employee, I know the secret, each day is started with scripture and prayer.” – Karen “I like volunteering at the mission and the staff are very nice to me.” Tracy. “The mission is a wonderful place to vol-

unteer, here we really feel we are doing something good to help our community. The mission staff keeps us busy and always makes us feel very much appreciated.” – Valarie, support for volunteers, ARC. “The Lighthouse Mission was a wonderful opportunity for me to complete a large chunk of community service hours. Before I found Lighthouse Mission, it had been difficult for me to find a place to volunteer. When I first came here, I knew almost instantly this was going to be a great experience. The employees were so friendly, there was much work needed to be done and I felt good about the work I had completed. Knowing that the items I help put on the floor each day are going to benefit someone in need is a good thing to ponder on at the end of the day. The Lighthouse Mission serves as a beacon of light in Wabash community, which can be witnessed on customers’ faces as they walk away from the counter with their special finds. – Ashlyn. “The Lighthouse Mission is truly a blessing to Wabash. It offers a wide variety of items and clothing for those on a budget. They help numerous members of our community. The workers and volunteers are

very kind and helpful. I work in a helping profession and always introduce clients to the Lighthouse Mission. If there is a way for them to assist community members, people in need they will and always with a smile and “God bless you.” It is thanks to the lighthouse Mission that many in town are able to enjoy a good Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving meal. They offer people the opportunity to give back and volunteer. If you haven’t been there I urge you to go, if you have items you can donate to them, please do.” – Jenny If your heart is lead to give, then we urge you to do so with our organization. Remember, every gift you donate to the Lighthouse Mission will give you donate to the Lighthouse Mission will go to serve a need, or a purpose for someone in the Wabash community. Just think how much good is being done within our area and how many lives are being affected from so many kindhearted individuals who give their time and donations to such a worthy cause. Again, we thank you and greatly appreciate all those who help the Lighthouse Mission Thrift store in any capacity. God bless everyone. – The Board & Staff of the Lighthouse Mission.

Dear Editor: This summer, the Wabash County YMCA was one of only 96 cities in the nation piloting the Summer Learning Loss Prevention Program. Locally, 144 students entering first, second, and third grade participated in the six week SPARK camp (which stands for Summer Program of Awesome Reading for Kids). In collaboration with MSD of Wabash County, Wabash City Schools and M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools, SPARK provided literacy instruction from certified teachers to ensure that students in the program did not experience summer learning loss, but in fact gained reading skills and can begin this coming school year at grade level. As a result of this effort, students in SPARK improved an average of 2 1/2 months in reading ability. Students also participated in many enriching activities such as art, music, physical activity, character development and field trips thanks to many organizations across Wabash County. The Wabash County YMCA would like to thank all the volunteers and community partners who helped make the SPARK successful. SPARK would like to thank all school systems and staff who supported our program this year. Thank you to the Honeywell Center and Kris Steele for providing arts education and memorable performances and to the Yurtfolk who shared their experiences. Thank you to Master Gardener Jim Rhoads and Wabash Christian Church for providing our students with an

opportunity to grow an organic garden and sharing you passion for this project. Thanks to Angela Christopher, Teresa Witkoske, and Wabash County 4-H staff for giving campers the opportunity to create bottle rockets and show at the fair. Thank you to Sarah Angluim for bringing a nutrition program to the students each week to expand our knowledge of healthy eating. Thank you to Maleri Cunningham for teaching our students some Zumba moves and to Elizabeth and Tamara Deford to bringing Irish Dance to the classroom. Thank you to Sue Baker (and Scooter), Sherrie Petterson, Bella David, and Sarah Graham who are local authors and illustrators who shared their books. You don’t have to come from a big city to write big things. Dick Beamer visited our classroom to share about his trip across the U.S. in his plane. Mr. Beamer also helped us let loose some homing pigeons and demonstrated a cup drop in his plane. We appreciate Bass N Bucks for sharing their facility to our campers as they explored the outdoors. Thank you to Jen Rankin and the Wabash River Defenders, who educated campers about protecting our local treasure. Thanks to the Manchester Historical Museum and the Wabash County Historical Museum for providing campers opportunities to explore the past while we completed our STEM envirolopes. Thank you to One World Handcraft for allowing our campers to experience different cultures.

Thank you also to Living Well in Wabash County which helped provide transportation and to Harvey Hinklemeyers which sponsored our SPARK t-shirts. Thank you also to the Wabash Carnegie Public Library and Manchester Public Library for providing expertise and books during the program. Thank you to Hugs the Clown (Daphne Steele) and AJ the Clown for sharing your passion with our campers.

What a smoking ordinance would entail ... continued from page 14 lower rates of adolescent smoking. In 2012, 77 percent of middle school and 59 percent of high school current smokers reported someone smoking tobacco products in their home, while they were there; 25 percent of non-smoking middle school students and 24 percent of non-smoking high school students reported the same (2012 Indiana Youth Tobacco

Survey). There are more advantages to having a comprehensive smokefree law than there are disadvantages. Wabash, North Manchester, Lagro, Roann, and La Fontaine need to consider the value of having a comprehensive smoke-free law to improve the health of each community and let our children and youth know we are

interested in their wellbeing and encourage them to never start. Those that are ready to stop the use of any form of tobacco, take advantage of the free Indiana Quit Line – 1800-QUIT-NOW or call Dan Gray at 274-2920, Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition. — Dan Gray, Director to Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition

Watch for deer along roadways, officials warn By The Paper staff Officials at the Indiana Department of Transportation and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources urge drivers to stay alert as deer become more active in fall months on Indiana’s highways. Nearly 50 percent of all vehicle crashes involving deer occur between October and December. Deer are generally more active in late October into early November during deer mating season. And with many farmers harvesting crops, deer could be on the move at anytime, encountering roads more frequently and increasing the potential for collisions. According to State Farm Insurance, the odds of an Indiana driver hitting a deer are one in 142. Across the state annually, thousands of motorists report deer-related collisions, including deervehicle collisions, as well as vehicles crashing as a result of attempting to avoid a collision with deer. With the increased number of deer heading toward the roadways, as well as the number of vehicles – deer-vehicle collisions will happen. Drivers can take

measures to keep these collisions to a minimum: Deer are most active between sunset and sunrise, especially in rural areas. D e e r often travel in groups. If you see one, others are likely n e a r b y. Stay alert! Pay special attention in A deer stands along the roadway near the Mississinewa a r e a s Reservoir.

County council adopts new LOIT credit rate By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com In a special session on Wednesday, Oct. 7, the Wabash County Council voted 5-2 to adopt a 40-20-40 percent local option income tax rate for 2016. Before the council discussed the available rate options, council chairman Mike Ridenour addressed the council and media that the meeting was to focus on local option income tax (LOIT) rates “and the ways that we allocate monies from our adopted additional tax which was 1 percent of the income tax,” he said. The LOIT is reviewed by the council each year. Currently, the county income tax rate is 2.9 percent. Part of that rate, the 1 percent, is for the LOIT property tax relief that the council adopted in 2007, Ridenour explained in a follow-up email. “This portion amounts to roughly $6.2 million that has been certified by the state that we will be receiving next year,” he wrote. “The Indiana Code specifies that we (the coun-

cil) allocate that portion of revenue directly to (the) property tax relief. We can only, however, allocate between three broad types of property tax bills…” The LOIT establishes available credit for these categories. The category types included property tax replacement credit (PTRC), homesteads and qualified residential. PTRC’s include every property tax bill, according to Ridenour. “It includes homesteads, (agricultural) land, business, qualified (residential), long-term care, commercial apartments and mobile homes,” he wrote in his email. The homestead category is a person’s primary place of residence, home or mobile home and up to one acre where as qualified residential properties include homesteads, rental properties, commercial apartments and mobile homes. “Our initial adopted rate was 50 percent homestead and 50 percent PTRC,” Ridenour wrote. “This was effective for taxes pay 2008 and 2009. Then, we changed it to 60 percent PTRC and 40 percent homestead for

pay 2010 through 2014. “This current year pay 2015 rate was changed to 55 percent PTRC, 10 percent homesteads and 35 percent qualified (residential).” At the special meeting, the council decided to adopt a property tax bills pay of 40 percent PTRC, 20 percent homestead and 40 percent qualified residential for 2016. “There are several factors we have to consider when doing this,” Ridenour wrote. “First off, we want to try and get the credits back to the people that are actually paying the income tax. However, the way we do it is limited because of the way the law is written and we cannot specify as detailed as we would like. “Another issue we have when (deciding) this is when we allocate the credits, the constitutional tax caps that were enacted of 1 percent, 2 percent and 3 percent all are effected and result in revenue loss to taxing units. So we try to allocate this credit to be how we feel will benefit our taxpayers most and at the same time try and minimize losses to the units across the board.”

tainment. The songwriter visited the local school in 2014 to promote respect and acceptance among the student body through various songs. This year, prior to Seskin’s performance, the renowned songwriter worked with 15 students from the GSA (Gay Straight Alliance) and TADA (Teens Against Dating Abuse) clubs throughout the day to develop a student-led anti-bullying convocation. Seskin collaborated with the students to write a Wabash High School original song that spoke about the importance of acceptance and finding “a place to belong.” Seskin, who travels nationwide to share the school program Operation Respect/Don’t Laugh At Me, told The Paper of Wabash County that the Apache students pleasantly surprised him. “Now I had it in my mind that I was going to get a lot of ‘Oh yeah. Things are kind of awful. Let’s write something to remind people how to act,’ because I do get that a lot at schools where they dwell on a couple of kids causing problems in this area,” he said. “(The Wabash students) said ‘No. This is school, everybody’s pretty accepting of everybody else and it’s very cool and that set up the notion of what the (students’) song was going to be about, that everybody needs a place that’s meant to be where they’re meant to be.” During assembly, Seskin performed “Don’t Laugh at Me,” a song which focuses

on telling others not to laugh about a person’s short-comings, be it braces, big ears or height. “I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of that song on the radio and Mark Wills recorded it in country music and a few other people recorded it, and it’s sense been turned into a school program trying to teach young people about how important it is to be kind to one another and respectful to each other,” Seskin said to the assembly. “You know, that song I kind of wrote as a memory from my childhood and talking to my son as he was growing up and the problems he was having with people, calling names and all that stuff we’ve all put up with at one time or another. “But it’s a whole lot nicer when it doesn’t happen, isn’t it?” Seskin told the students that every single member of the school community deserves to be treated with kindness and respect, and that isn’t happening if students aren’t supporting each other. Through Operation Respect/Don’t Laugh at Me, Seskin writes songs with students in grades ranging from Kindergarten to high school about various bullying topics such as “we don’t do that here.” The Apache student-written song, “Everybody Needs a Place,” was prompted by the students’ agreed belief that bullying “doesn’t really happen here,” Seskin said. “My favorite part (of today) was their willingness to be creative and make some(continued on page 23)

thing out of nothing,” he continued. “When I came here today, we had no title, we had no song, we had nothing. I didn’t know what to expect. “What set the day off for me is that everyone was so positive.” Seskin and the students to establish a story line for the song, sharing the experience of being a new student and wondering where to fit it. Working with high school students was “a little bit” different of an experience than working with younger children, Seskin admitted. “I think as kids get to this age their level of critical thinking is at a peak so it was like everybody has an opinion about everything we were saying, whether it was to change that word, which is great but that doesn’t always happen in third, fourth grade,” he continued. “We just really all worked on it and they decided to put in the bit of choreography that we did. … So that was new to me. I’ve never done anything like that before.” Sophomore Trace

Goodwin, who participated in the songwriting experience, said Seskin’s first Wabash High School appearance impacted him and made him want to get involved. “Last year, it kind

of spoke to me because I was originally bullied because people always thought I was gay because I had a high voice,” Goodwin said. “So when he came in here and sang ‘Don’t

Laugh at Me’ that really spoke to me and me being involved with GSA, it really helped me speak to the people in our support group and help them.”

CULVER — Continuing their stellar seasons, the Manchester High School cross country teams both advanced to regional this weekend. The girls’ team finished in second place, while the boys’ team crossed the finish line in fourth place. “The culture has c h a n g e d , ” Manchester coach Jody Sarber said. “The group of kids we have are very inexperienced by most measures. We have many freshmen on our varsity rosters as well as two boys and two girls who are first time cross country runners. Despite that, this year’s group

works very hard, is very positive, and wants to succeed. “We are successful as a team with one front runner and one tight pack for both the boys and girls,” he added. “Everyone raced well Saturday, and if one kid had an off day, another stepped up and helped out.” Warsaw won the girls’ sectional with 25 points, followed by Manchester with 70, Culver Academies with 94, and Rochester with 125. Plymouth finished in fifth place, followed by Caston, Triton and Tippecanoe Valley. Rae Bedke once again led the Squires, finishing the race in 20:02.7, good for third place overall. Tahnee Fuentes was the second Squire to cross the

finish line with a 13th place result in 21:02. Behind her was Clara Burdette in 17th place in 21:28, with Sarah Rohr in 18th place in 21:29, and Jaelyn Webb in 19th place in 21:34. Emily Lynn finished in 21st place with a time of 21:52, while Natasha Niccum was 33rd in 23:11. Boys’ Race The Squire boys also advanced to regional as a team with a fourth place sectional finish. Warsaw won with 41 points, followed by Rochester with 50, Culver Academies with 74, and Manchester with 115. Plymouth was fifth, followed by Caston, Tippecanoe Valley, and North Miami. Thomas Rohr was Manchester’s top runner with a fifth

place finish with a time of 16:53.1. A group of Squires crossed the finish line within seconds of each other as Hunter Miller was 27th in 19:00.7, Drew Jones was 29th in 19:03.6, Lance Bennett was 30th in 19:12.3, and Wilson Nettleton was 32nd in 19:18. Ethan Davis finished in 37th place in 19:44.6, while M o n t g o m e r y Pattison was 42nd in 20:24.5. The cross country teams willl return to Culver Academies for the regional this Saturday as the top five teams from the sectional will join the top five teams from the Logansport sectional for spots at the semi-state.

Squires notch first win of season By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com The Manchester Squire football team not only won its first game of the season, but defeated traditional Three Rivers Conference power Rochester for the first time since 2002 with a 34-14 win over the Zebras. Manchester took control early when Jared Gable scored on the Squires’ first possession of the game with a touchdown run with 8:49 left in the first quarter for a 7-0 lead. Rochester threatened to score early in the second quarter with the ball on the Squires’ 8-yard line, but Manchester stopped the Zebras on fourth and two to get the ball back. Taking over on their own 8-yard line, the score remained 7-0 until Bailey Ness found Keelan

Norwood for a 51-yard touchdown pass with 7:50 left in the second quarter for a 14-0 lead. Manchester took a commanding 21-0 lead when Bailey Ness broke free for a 65yard touchdown run as he escaped defenders in the backfield, eluded tackles on the right side and went in for the score. Rochester tried to make a game of it late in the half getting the ball to the 6-yard line, but weren’t able to get it into the end zone before the half. Manchester added to their lead with a 12yard touchdown pass from Ness to Norwood with 3:52 left in the third quarter for a 280 lead. On the play, Ness hit Norwood on the right side at the 10, and Norwood cut back to break a tackle and score up the middle to give the Squires a commanding lead. M a n c h e s t e r increased their lead in the fourth quarter to 34-0 when Josh

Shepherd scored on a 3-yard run with 8:47 left in the game. Rochester got on the board with a tochdown with 7:36 left, and added a second touchdown with 2:57 left, but it wasn’t enough as the Squires took the win 34-14. Ness was huge for the Squires at quarterback, connecting on 15-21 passes for 228 yards and two touchdowns for a 118.8 quarterback rating. On the ground, Ness led the Squires with 95 yards rushing on seven carries and a touchdown. Shepherd went 80 yards on 12 carries and a score, while Clay Sellers ran for 22 yards on three carries, and Gable added nine yards on two carries and a score. Norwood hauled in eight catches for 152 yards and two touchdowns, with Hayes Sturtsman grabbing four catches for 44 yards. Sellers had two catches for 25 yards,

Shepherd had two for two yards, and Kane Gable caught one for five yards. Quentin Moore led the team in tackles with 15, with Sellers right behind him with 13, and Jared Gable with 11. Kane Gable and Lucas Williams each had nine, Trey McNall had eight, Shepherd and Noah Carpenter both had five, Tyler McNall had four, Ness had three, Norwood, Janzin Cripe, Jeff Williams and Cameron Sellers all had two tackles, and Nick Wagner and Zeek Shockome both had one. The Squires won their first game of season on the field, but due to Northfield having to forfeit four games due to an ineligible player, now sit at 2-2 in the TRC and 2-6 overall. They will host Maconaquah this Friday for Senior Night in the TRC playoff game with kick-off at 7 p.m.

Northfield football forfeits four games By The Paper staff The Northfield High School football program was forced to forfeit four football games it had won this season after it was discovered than an ineligible player participated in them. In a statement released Thursday afternoon, Northfield Athletic Director Clint Davis said the following: “While preparing the sectional roster, we realized that there is an ineligible player

on the football team. After reviewing film, it is clear that the young man played in four games throughout the 2015 season. Upon discovery, our administration reported the violation to officials of the Indiana High School Athletic Association. “Unfortunately, per IHSAA rules, Northfield must forfeit the offending games. This leaves the Norsemen with a 3-4 record going into the last game of the regular season.

Though this is a dismal way to wrap up an otherwise stellar run, our mistake should in no way detract from the accomplishments and hard work of these young men and everyone involved with our football program. “The school administration takes full responsibility for our error and we sincerely apologize for the hurt that this has caused the Northfield family.”

Ag Day: Wabash County Farm Bureau, in conjunction with the Purdue Cooperative Extension Office, hosted its annual Ag Day on Tuesday, Oct. 6, at the Wabash County 4-H Fairgrounds. The day provided a chance from elementary school students from around Wabash County to learn about farming and all it offers. The youngsters, for example, had a chance to see live cows and pigs, and learn about what type of feed (top photo, at left) the animals ate. They also watched as Gary Willcox (bottom photo, at left) sheared a sheep. The youngsters also were able to feel the newly shorn wool. There also was a trivia contest (right photo) that helped teach the youngsters a variety of farm trivia. Photos by Joseph Slacian

Create spooky effects for Halloween

Halloween is a great time to explore your creative side, especially when it comes to decorating for trick-or-treaters or planning a party. Many special spooky effects can be used to create the scary, intimidating atmosphere you desire. · Dry ice: Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide. It is a good coolant because it can reach temperatures below that of ice and it will not leave a puddle or damp residue behind. Dry ice changes from a solid to a gas with no liquid form, through a process of sublimation. Place dry ice in punch bowls or beverage glasses. Or use dry ice in any other liquid to create billowing plumes of vapor that add to the spooky effects. Just be sure to handle dry ice very carefully and make sure it is inaccessible to curious kids. · Smoke machine:

Rent or purchase smoke machines, which can be found at party stores or big box retailers, to add to your eerie atmosphere. Dim the lights and have smoke rolling through the party room or by the front door. · Lightning and thunder kits: These kits combine strobe lights or lighting effects with sound systems to simulate the sounds and sights of a thunderstorm. · Faux cobwebs:

Purchase spiderweb kits at retailers or make your own with cotton. Pure cotton balls can be pulled apart and stretched over various items in the house to create a spiderweb effect. · Accent lighting: Drape a nonflammable piece of fabric over a lampshade to cast different hues around a room. This also dims the brightness in the room, creating shadows here and there.

NORTH MANCHESTER – Manchester University is excited to welcome the Harlem Wizards for a night of laughter and basketball on Saturday, Oct. 24. The community is invited for the free game that will be full of oohs, ahs and hilarious humor, as the Harlem Wizards take the court

at the Physical Education and Recreation Center (PERC) on the North Manchester campus at 7 p.m. Basketball fanatics and even non-hoop lovers of all ages will enjoy this familyfriendly theatrical game that brings overthe-top talent coupled with dynamic energy for a unique basketball experience.

The game is a gift to the community, part of Homecoming and Fam-

NORTH MANCHESTER – The Manchester University Peace Studies Institute and Program in Conflict Resolution is proud to honor Jane Addams for her outstanding efforts toward peace and justice on Saturday, Oct. 24. Addams’ extraordinary legacy and the

connection between social work and peace studies will be celebrated at the Gladdys Muir Peace Garden, 1106 N. Wayne St., on the southwest side of the North Manchester campus, at 3 p.m. During Homecoming and Family weekend each year, the Peace Studies Institute honors an individual or individuals for their significant contributions toward peace and

justice. An innovator in social work and the second woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, Addams committed her life to the causes of peace and justice. She founded the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom in 1919. In 1889, Addams founded Hull House in Chicago, where she worked for 46 years to help the poor and stop the use

of children as industrial laborers. Manchester peace studies and social work faculty will speak briefly about Addams’ great influence and inspiration, and a plaque recognizing Addams will be added to the Peacemakers Wall in the Gladdys Muir Peace Garden. A reception will follow the plaque dedication.
