Locals remember those lost on Sept. 11 By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash County residents climbed 110 flights beside their local firefighters Friday, Sept. 9, at the fourth annual local Sept. 11 tribute in commemoration of those who lost their lives 15 years ago. On Sept. 11, 2001, al-Qaeda, an Islamic extremist terrorist group, coordinated four attacks using two planes to destroy the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center and a third to damage the Pentagon. In attempts to rescue survivors inside the World Trade Center, 343 firefighters and 72 law enforcement officers lost their lives, becoming the deadliest incident for emergency personnel in the history of the United States. The attacks killed nearly 3,000 and injured more than 6,000. Sunday, Sept. 11, marked the attacks’ 15th anniversary. Four years ago, Wabash firefighters Jeff Krom and Dennis Vigar decided to remember their fallen New York City comrades by sharing their experience. The local pair donned their 60-pound bunker gear and (continued on page 28)
More than 600 bicycle enthusiasts from around the country converged on Wabash County over the weekend for the seventh annual Dam to Dam ride. Among the riders was James “The Iron Cowboy” Lawrence, a two-time world record holder who last year completed 50 Ironman competitions in 50 consecutive days in all 50 states. Riders chose to ride between 25 and 104 miles around the county on Sunday, Sept. 11. Lawrence was among those who rode the entire route. “It was a great ride today with great people,” Lawrence said after the race, resting at the Wabash Elks Lodge tents located just across from the finish line. “There was 104 miles of great views, a lot of corn and a lot of beans, but it’s really good terrain it was pretty all around.” A Utah resident, Lawrence did say he laughed when fellow riders would tell him they were riding up a hill. “I live in the Rockies, so that was understandable,” he said with a laugh. Christine Flohr, Tourism Director for Visit Wabash County, was pleased with the event. “Today went exceptionally well,” she told The Paper of Wabash County. “It was really streamlined. When you have an entire county come together, toward one common goal, which is to be great ambassadors for our guest riders and our local riders, it was executed beautifully. “I couldn’t be more pleased.” She thinks Lawrence’s participation in the event helped in (continued on page 28)

Community Foundation hosts annual meeting By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Heartland Career Center once again played host to the Community Foundation of Wabash County’s annual meeting. The event, on Thursday, Sept. 8, featured tours of the vocational school as well as a sampling of food prepared by the school’s culinary students. It was topped off by a panel discussion on the importance of early childhood education. Before the discussion, CF Board President Steve Hentgen presented outgoing board member Cathy Gatchel a plaque for service to the board. CF Program Director Julie Garber, in emceeing the discussion,
noted that investing in the education of very young children – those 5 years and younger – will have a very wide range of benefits for the community. Panel member Steve Hammer supported early childhood learning spending. “Educational assets that are employed in the early years, ages 3 to 5, especially, bare remarkable benefits,” he said. “An investment in a quality program for preschool children yields better workers, better citizens, stronger families and more capable leaders.” The impact is especially noticeable with at risk children. Unfortunately, Indiana isn’t leading the Midwest in early childhood (continued on page 29)
County looks to cut $1.8M from ‘17 budget By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash County Council began making more than $1.8 million in cuts from its 2017-2018 budget on Thursday, Sept. 8. The Council learned that it would have to make additional cuts than it originally expected from its budget after receiving a report from Deputy Auditor B.J. Grube.

NHS students, Big Dawg enter video contest By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com
Rain couldn’t prevent the Northfield
High School student body, in conjunction with The Big Dawg, from filming two 30second videos on Friday night during
halftime of the NorseTippecanoe Valley football game. The videos will promote not abusing prescription drugs, Big Dawg representative Kay Weikel. The videos will then be entered into the #kickRXabuse challenge sponsored by the Indianapolis Colts and the Office of the Indiana Attorney General. “They’re putting on a contest for schools to put on a 30-second public service announcement,” Weikel said. “We asked Northfield to do that and they graciously agreed. We’re going to film at half-
time of the Tipp Valley – Northfield game.” The Big Dawg House, which was on display at the Wabash County Fair, will be brought to Northfield for the filming. One of the videos will feature Jacklyn Peas, a Northfield student and Big Dawg member, talking. The other will feature a rap song written by Big Dawg member. “We’re going to have it on poster board so everyone can sing the rap song,” Peas said.

Each year, more than 1,000 outpatient visits and inpatient stays for Wabash County children are recorded at Riley Childrens Hospital. The hospital admits about 7,500 children annually and has about 185,000 outpatient visit. No Indiana child is ever denied service based on a family’s inablility to pay. Those who have family or friends in need of service from Riley are encouraged to make a donation. If anyone would like to make a donation but can’t make it to one of the donation sites, contact a Kiwanis member to pick up the donation. Kiwanis has the longest organizational partnerships with Riley, starting in 1919. The local district helped fund many special projects at the hospital. The latest initiative is the “3 Wishes Campaign that hopes to raise a million dollars over the next four years for research and screening for children with neurological disorders, such as autism and Asperger’s. The project hopes to work the earlier diagnosis of children, being able to reach children in all areas of Indiana, and raise awareness of the disorders. Each year Riley transports more than 1,000 critically ill or injured children from across the state and region. The hospital receives no direct state appropriation and is dependent on individual contributions. Judy Ward is the Wabash Kiwanis Club president, and the Bucket Brigade chair is Dr. Robert L.

WCS board ratifies Master Contract By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash City Schools Board of Education approved the ratification of its 2016-17 master contract at its meeting Tuesday, Sept. 6. The contract, which was formed between the WCS board and the Wabash City Teacher’s Association, states the terms to which both parties agree, such as sick leave days and salary increases. Negotiations for the contract are not simple, according to Jason Callahan, superintendent. As state law prevents the board from “officially collective bargaining” until Aug. 1, Callahan said the board does not “really know what the budget looks like until … late first semester.” “So it’s kind of a funny system that we’re always juggling,” he continued. “So Matt (Stone, chief business officer) actually began building the budget back in May, and we get some kind of estimated revenue, but a bunch of kids showing up on your doorstep early August, you don’t necessarily know in May.” This year’s master
contract hopefully brings some good news to new teachers, Callahan continued. “Obviously you want to take care of everybody, but the people who have been hurt the worst in the last five or six years have been the new teachers,” he said, “because seven, eight years ago when there was that guaranteed, ‘You’re always going to get this amount,’ people would always typically see some type of raise. There was an increment every year that amount to about 2 percent. “Well that’s not been the case for the last six years for our new teachers.” This year’s contract raised the school’s beginning teachers’ salary from $32,000 to $35,000, he continued. “That impacted 21 out of our 84 teachers,” Callahan said. “Hopefully we can do more next year, but that was our goal is just to try and care of those people this time and still give everyone $600.” The contract also agreed to provide all 84 teachers’ a $600 salary increase. “We also agreed to $600 increases for all 84 certified staff members,” Callahan told
Richvalley UMW has September meeting Article provided The Richvalley United Methodist Women met Sept. 7 at the church with Cindi Price presiding. Nine members recited theUMW Purposeand were enlightened from “Social Principles” about earthly gifts and respossibilities. Elaine Leach presented the lesson – “Flight/Echoing God’s Love.” Members read scriptures, “How we are Empowered by God by the following ways: Prayer, Reading the Bible, Worshiping with our Whole Self, Remaining with God; Not Worrying.” Monthly reports were given by Ruth Dyson and Jane Long. Carolyn Hopkins and Sylvia Sriver were in charge of card signing for community people. Next meeting with be guest night on Oct. 5 with Vickie Thrush giving the lesson and being hostess. Roll call response will be a scripture for harvest.
Members can vote on meeting time changes. Team No.2 was in charge of the funeral meal for the Jean Snapp Family recently. The UMW will send an in memory gift to Northwest District for associate member Jean Snapp. Election of officers took place for 2017. Results are President Amy Lauer, Vice President Cindi Price, Secretary Ruth Dyson, TreasurerJane Long, Program Resources Elaine Leach, Spiritual Growth Carolyn M a x w e l l , Education/Cards Vickie Thrush, Membership Carolyn Hopkins and N o m i n a t i n g Committee Pam Simons, Patty Cooper and Deanna Unger. Carolyn Maxwell gave closing devotions from the book, “Women of Faith,” and some humor about friends and concluding with prayer. Ruth Dyson served refreshments.
ing. “This was a onetime give back to the school systems,” Callahan said. “You’re not going to create a position with a onetime (gift), so we’re going to add that to a base because the base is going to be a reoccurring expense and so we added it in a stipend and so it will add onto that $400 and make it a $600 extra compensation. “But again that stipend is one time and so that $200 is just for the 2016-2017 year.
The Paper of Wabash County in an email. “$400 will be added to their base salary, so if they make $35,000 they will now make $35,400. “The remaining $200 comes from the LOIT (Local Option Income Tax) return as a stipend and not on their recurring base salary.” The additional $200 is like a bonus, he continued. WCS received $19,400 from the LOIT in early spring, the superintendent explained at the meet-

Board also approved the 2016-2017 Support Personnel Wages and Benefits handbook, which included a 2 percent raise for all non-certified employees not specifically listed in the handbook. “With 5 percent increase in the insurance, we want to try to make sure that all employees see a decrease,” Callahan said. “With the classified (staff), we included a 2 percent increase in the budget.”

ly looks like until Sept. 16 and then in the budget calendar, you get a second count day in February and that will be adjusted again,” he continued. “So it’s tough to try to negotiate because a lot of people will see that you have an extra amount of kids thus extra dollars, but trying to explain that it’s like going to a money lender when you know you should have this money coming in but you’re going to go ahead and spend it.” In other news, the

YOUR WEEKLY ISAAC-ISM: “I have always liked to observe how tennis players compete under pressure. I especially enjoy seeing how players react differently when confronted with challenging situ a t i o n s . Perseverance means not giving up easily. If you want something to happen, you will keep working on it, even when it’s difficult. If you have problems or fail at first, keep trying until you accomplish your goal. If perseverance is you strength, you work hard to finish what you started. Perseverance is the voluntary continuation of a goal directed action despite the presence of challenges, difficulties and discouragement. Perseverance requires both effort and duration to keep up the task. There will be days when you feel like giving up, days when it seems as though you are not making any progress. It’s during those days that determination and perseverance is all that’s left. Perseverance is what ensures you will continue moving in the direction of your goals. The people who grow and achieve the most are those who embrace the power of perseverance.”

Manchester honors Young with Garber award From the MU News Bureau M a n ch e s t e r University President Dave McFadden has established a new MU award, the Christopher W. Garber Staff Member of the Year. He surprised Garber’s friend and co-worker Alexis Young as the 2016 recipient. Director of Conference Services, Young embodies the positive, caring attitude Garber lived every day, McFadden said. “The energy and enthusiasm she brings to her work and her engagement with the community both reflect the spirit that Chris brought to all he did,” the MU president said at Tuesday’s annual allemployee meeting. Garber, who died in December, was assistant vice presi-
dent for operations at the University and cared deeply about the University and North Manchester, his hometown. At the time of his death, Garber was president of the North Manchester Chamber of Commerce. A 1973 graduate of Manchester High School and a 1977 graduate of MU, he was also the North Manchester Town Council president and vice chair of the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County Board of Directors. He served as town manager before to going to work at the University in 1999. In 2009, Garber was named North Manchester Citizen of the Year. His sons will represent him as torch bearers in the Indiana bicentennial and North
Manchester Pioneer Day celebration on Sept. 28. “I’m deeply honored to receive this award,” Young said. “In my 10 years at MU, Chris had the most profound impact on my work and my overall experience here. He taught me the true meaning of being a team player, and what that looks like on a larger scale when the University and the town of North Manchester collaborate.” Young is an active member of Be Well Wabash County, the North Manchester Chamber Board of Directors and was the 2014 board president. She has also served as a board member and board president of the Wabash County Convention and Visitors Bureau, now Visit Wabash County.
She has worked with others to organize events for the Learn More Center and put on the Harvest Festival. At Manchester, Young oversees U n ive r s i t y - s p o n sored events, camps, conferences, workshops, seminars and use of facilities. She will head the committee to choose next year’s award recipient. McFadden said the award criteria include the many positive attributes Garber exhibited every day – except his well-known habit of breaking into song – of being a leader among his peers, a collaborator, problem solver and encourager. The award will be given to someone who is reliable, loyal and respected. I’m setting the bar high,” the University

Wabash High School inducts 4 into Hall of Distinction By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Three Wabash High School alumni and one generous Wabash citizen were inducted into the WHS Hall of Distinction Saturday, Sept. 3. Philanthropist George F. Bosch and alumni James D. Conner Jr., David K. Henderson and Richard Wolpert were honored for their accomplishments, service to others and enrichment of Wabash City Schools’ history, according to Jason Callahan, WCS superintendent. “Today we find Wabash City Schools on the rise,” Callahan
told the audience Saturday afternoon. “In the last few years, we’ve been recognized by U.S. News and World Report as one of the top high schools in the state of Indiana. ... However, we did not arrive at these accolades without looking to the blueprints of the past. It is in these histories that we uncover the beacons of innovation. “Today we give time to honor these four individuals from this rich past, recognizing their outstanding accomplishments and influences in education, in science, in business, in government and in philanthropy in Wabash and
beyond. ... These are giants whose shoulders we stand upon. These are the muses. These are the inspirations.” The induction is about honoring legacy, according to Callahan. “What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven in the lives of others,” he said, quoting Pericles. Bosch was born in France in September 1905. After he immigrated to the United States and became a citizen, Bosch enlisted in the U.S. Army and served in India, China and Burma. In 1933, he graduated from Trine

University with a degree in mechanical engineering and, in the same year, became the plant engineer at General Tire in Wabash until 1956 when he transferred to Logansport plant. “Although he and his wife (Mary) had no children, Bosch was very committed to the youth in Wabash County,” Callahan said. “He was involved with Boy Scouts for 57 years. Also, community minded, he was involved with the Masonic Lodge, the Elks, the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars.” Prior to his death in October 1988, Bosch and his wife established the George F. and Mary P. Bosch M e m o r i a l Scholarship, a fullpaid scholarship to Trine University for WHS students majoring in engineering. “Many Wabash High School students have been able to attend Trine University because of their generosity,” Callahan said. Conner graduated in the WHS class of 1873. He was the businessman responsible for organizing and incorporating the A m e r i c a n Association of Importers and Breeders of Belgian Draft Horses.

Wolpert was inducted into the hall with David Henderson, James D. Conner and George F. Bosch. Photo by Emma Rausch In 1928, King Albert of Belgium made Conner a Knight of the Order of the Crown of Belgium for his efforts to protect the breed. Henderson graduated valedictorian of WHS in 1965 and later went on to become the first epidemiologist at the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Md. He is also the author of numerous journal articles and book chapters with primary areas of research in infectious diseases including Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV and the Ebola Virus.

David Henderson recalled how his teachers and peers at Wabash High School helped shape him into who he became, an epidemiologist at the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Md. Photo by Emma Rausch Service to America Award as the United States Government’s Federal Employees of the Year. While his research is important in the battle against bloodborn illnesses and diseases, Henderson said he would not be that man today had it not been first for his teachers. “I am both honored and humbled to be in such great company (in the Hall of Distinction),” Henderson said. “I find it remarkable that I could ever have a circle drawn around me that included (past WCS educator) Martha Jones. She
was really a dynamic force in my life. “There was no other teacher of any subject any where in my life that was a more effective teacher than Martha Jones. She was astounding.” There is a long list of people that helped shape his life in Wabash, he continued. “I have classmates here that have come today and that really has a profound effect on me because they’re the folks that made it possible to have the learning environment that we had, although we did also have a lot of fun. We were talking about all the terrible things we did just before this,” Henderson joked. Before Wolpert graduated from WHS in 1954, he went “down in history as one of the most involved students to attend Wabash High School,” according to Callahan. “He was the class president all four years, involved in football and basketball all four years, tennis three years while he was also the CIC Conference Doubles (continued on page 9)

champion in his junior year, track two years, served on the Orange and Black newspaper staff two years, student council two years, and, for good measure, Latin Club, Science Club and the yearbook staff ” he explained. Wolpert later went on to pursue Aeronautical Science at Purdue University and eventually accepted a position with Space Technolo gies Laboratories. “In 1968, he moved with his wife, son Dean and daughter Lisa to Houston, Texas, to continue his research at TRW for the space program, helping to determine the exact landing site on the moon for Apollo 11 over its orbital mechanics (and) provided this information for NASA,” Callahan said. Later in life, Wolpert became a successful securities broker. While Wolpert spoke briefly about his time working on the space program at Saturday’s event, he spoke in greater detail of his final moments as a WHS student. “For a long time at Wabash High School they’ve had this tradition of painting the ticket booth at the high school every fall and the class that paints it can do anything they want with it,” Wolpert said during his acceptance
speech. “So it’s kind of a fun thing that has been going on for a long, long time to the point where people started thinking, ‘Let’s have a little more information on this.’ People started wondering how did this get started, who started it and how did they start it? How did it get where we are with this (tradition)? “So I’m here to tell you that I know the truth of it all because I was there when it started and it started in the year of 1954, the year I graduated.” The tradition’s inaugural night was kind of vandalism, Wolpert admitted, drawing a roar of laughter from the crowd. “There were six of us Apaches and we were roaming around that night … and the next day people were leaving to go join the service, people were leaving to go to college and we were really feeling very frisky,” Wolpert said, drawing more laughs. “We (happened) upon the ticket booth and we were kind of astounded that it had just been painted. … Brand new spanking white paint job just glistening, just beautiful. But it lacked one thing. “It lacked orange and black war paint,” he continued. “So we grab up some orange and blank (paint), made up some stencils to make it not too sloppy and we were
the first ones to make the (tradition). And of course then the next day, we were gone.” The new paint job didn’t sit too well with the school’s principal when he discovered it the next day, Wolpert continued. “He was an ex-FBI person,” he said, drawing more laughs from the crowd, “and he didn’t take it kindly, but I never heard from him again.” To provide further evidence of his tale, Wolpert brought along a blown-up version of the photograph him and his friends took to commemorate that night. In the photo, Wolpert posed for the camera, paint brush in hand, with Butch Ross, John Moore, Freddy Squire and Mark Duffy. “And you say, ‘He said six.’ Well the sixth one is taking the picture,” Wolpert explained. “And Pete Jones stopped painting long enough to go back and snap a picture. So that’s the true history of it.” Callahan said he’s glad to have the story in print now with a photograph. “I probably want to start by saying (to the students), it took them 60 years before we could laugh about that,” Callahan said with a laugh. “Just remember that, but seriously I hope that all of the students that are here today go by the plaques or hear the stories of Wabash alumni and the
HU’s nursing program awarded funding From the HU News Bureau
HUNTINGTON — The Arnold P. Gold Foundation (APGF) and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) announced that Huntington University is one of 50 nursing programs across the nation selected to receive funding to host a White Coat Ceremony. Developed to champion scientificallysound, compassionate care, the APGF-AACN White Coat Ceremony for Nursing is held at the beginning of an academic year to promote the importance of humanistic, patient-centered care to new nursing students. Participating
schools receive $1,000 in financial support to host a ceremony, which typically features the recitation of an oath, receipt of a commemorative pin, a welcome by a respected leader who represents the value system of the school and the profession the students are about to enter, and a reception for students and invited guests. “The Nursing White Coat Ceremony is an important designation by The Arnold P. Gold Foundation and American Association of Colleges of Nursing. The ceremony signifies a nurse’s commitment to compassion and their promise to provide the best care possible for patients.
The HU Nursing Department is honored to have received the funding for this ceremony,” stated, Dr. Diana Shenefield, HU’s director of nursing / assistant professor of nursing. Though White Coat Ceremonies have been conducted by medical schools for more than 20 years, the APGFAACN initiative marks the first time a coordinated effort has been developed to offer a similar event at schools of nursing. This year, 50 new nursing schools in 38 states plus the District of Columbia were selected to receive funding to inaugurate their own White Coat Ceremony this upcoming fall.
impact they’ve had in this world. “I hope you realize that you’re all very, very talented and capable of changing the world.” At WCS Board’s meeting Tuesday, Sept. 6, Chief Business Officer Matt Stone commended the corporation for its efforts to recognize its outstanding alumni. “For a long time, this place forgot about our history and we forgot about our past and we did not honor the people who went through our doors, and we’ve done a much better job of it lately,” Stone said. “We’ve had great people who have walked through our halls and we’ve had great people who went to our school, teach at our school and work in our corporation, and it’s probably past time that we honored these people. “We need to make sure that we keep doing those things and keep honoring our past.”

THE PAPER

September 14, 2016
VIEWPOINT MSD shouldn’t drag its feet Dear Editor: This is a letter I presented to the MSD board members on Thursday, Sept. 1, prior to their executive session. It was evident at the two meetings held at the high schools that a majority was interested in the school board pursuing talks with the Wabash school board. I believe it behooves the board to make this effort knowing the Wabash School Board would be acceptable to talks. I would like to make some recommendations and comments concerning these talks. First, by personally knowing both Mike Keaffaber and Jason Callahan and knowing their dedication to our youth’s education, I believe it would be prudent to allow them and their staffs to pursue the many options for the two schools to work together. This may or may not consummate in a full consolidation but I belive it will reveal that a consolidation is the ultimate alternative. To these administrative staffs I would suggest you do as many boards of corporations state, “think outside the box and come up with innovative ideas and proposals.” I believe it is possible for our two school districts to put together a school system that will be the envy of
Letters to the editor schools surrounding Wabash. There are many schools in Indiana which need to consider consolidation for the same problems facing us but thy do not have the model that appeals to them. We can provide the prototype by putting together a school system that is efficient, offers more educational opportunities to the students, has the best teachers, offers college credits, has outstanding vocational schooling and offers more extra-curricular activities that build character. One argument that I have heard against consolidation is “we will have to build a brand new high school and create debt.” I believe this is absolutely not necessary. This is one of the reasons I recommend to the MSD board that they allow Mr. Callahan to take them on a tour through the Wabash High School. this building is not only very substantially built but has been maintained in good order. This is another reason I recom-
We want your letters to the editor The editorial staff of The Paper invites readers to submit letters to the editor on timely issues. To ensure fairness to everyone, we have established the following guidelines: Mailed and faxed letters must be signed. All submissions, including by e-mail, must include an address and daytime telephone number for verification. The editor reserves the right to edit letters for length, content
and readability. Also, per the editor’s judgment, personal attacks, inflammatory statements and legally objectionable material will not be printed. The editor must also limit readers to submitting a maximum of two letters per month, regardless of whether previous letters have been published, due to space allotments in each weekly issue. Please limit all letters to 500 words or less.
mend to the administrative staffs to thin outside the box in their planning. There was a recent article in the Plain Dealer related to ACT scores for college entrance. The essence of the article stated, “Many of this year’s high school graduates aren’t ready for college-level course work.” The testing company stated that only 38 percent of graduating seniors who took the exam hit the college-prepared benchmark. I believe and hope that our school seniors are doing better than this but if continual cuts in teachers and classes are needed to meet financial obligations, will we see a reduction in readiness of our students? Another concern is how long can we maintain the very important training received in the vocational school? Some are saying consolidation will take several years. Fifty years ago we consolidated several school systems n a short time. I believe consolidation can take place in two years if the boards put their minds toit and not “drag their feet.” Other financial and educational opportunities can happen sooner if the systems are allowed to workout cooperative ventures prior to the full consolidation. -- Larry Curless, Wabash
Kokomo mayor appreciates help Dear Editor: On Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2016, the City of Kokomo again experienced extensive damage and devastation as tornadoes touched down in our community. Thankfully there was no loss of life or serious injuries. However, the damage to our property and landscape was devastating. Homes were destroyed and businesses severely impacted. Hundreds of trees, many of which were more than a century old, were ripped from the ground. It was less than three short years ago that our community had to deal with a very similar situation. This recent tornado followed an almost identical path through town as the November 2013 tornado. It destroyed parts of the Cedar Crest neighborhood and impacted commercial areas and apartment complexes. For some, the scars and wounds from 2013 were ripped open again. We are very thankful because it could have been much worse. The tornado roared through Kokomo at a time when the streets were filled with thousands of drivers and children ready to leave school. Fortunately, everyone reacted swiftly and appropriately to the warnings, taking shelter and making sure those in their charge were safe. Mere moments later, 70 percent of Howard County was left without power, streets were blocked with trees and debris, and some residents were left wondering “Why us again?” Despite the destruction and damage, it did not destroy our community’s spirit. Our residents knew exactly what to do – stand up, start helping our neighbors and begin rebuilding. The first calls with offers of assistance I received were from Sen. Joe Donnelly and Gov. Mike Pence. Mayors and town managers from across the state called next. Each asked what they could do to help. All offered thoughts and prayers. All were committed to doing whatever they could to help their fellow Hoosiers. Kokomo residents were quickly reminded once again that we were not alone. I want to personally thank the state agencies, departments, and their respective employees who provided assistance at numerous levels and exceeded expectations. Also, our colleagues at the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns (IACT) responded swiftly. In all, more than 40 mayors from cities around the state personally reached out to provide assistance to our community. The offer of help from these communities
became our hope as we started forward. Help came in the form of trucks and equipment, along with the manpower to operate it. Help came in the form of extra police officers to help secure affected areas. Help came in the form of industrial generators so our Waste Water facility could be up and running without pause. The importance of this professional help from other cities cannot be overstated. Our local teams of employees from our Police, Fire, Street, Parks, Waste Water, and Traffic Departments have been working countless hours. The trained crews and equipment from other communities provided much needed assistance, relief, and moral support. We could not have done it alone. We owe so many a debt, one we hope you never experience and that we never have the opportunity to repay. Our help didn’t just come from government entities – it came from the people. Just like three years ago, thousands of volunteers within our community and throughout the state and Midwest reached out to offer assistance to our residents. Cleanup began almost immediately as streets were cleared, debris was piled up and gradually power was restored. Our city has been forever touched by these thousands of volunteers from across the Midwest who have extended their services and offered help in our time of need. Volunteers showing up to assist, having traveled from places like Illinois and Kentucky, with no expectation other than to help a neighbor in need. Watching, and working alongside of, the mass of volunteers from every walk of life was awe inspiring. Witnessing it firsthand was a deeply humbling and emotional experience. Those who couldn’t help with a chainsaw or a rake, helped with financial donations. The money raised in a short amount of time will go a long way in the recovery process. The generosity is greatly appreciated. Kokomo, like it did in 2013, will rebuild and recover from the devastation left by Mother Nature. Our city is resilient beyond belief and will not be broken by a tornado. Like my friend and local community activist Kevin Sprinkle tweeted: “Kokomo 2, tornadoes 0.” On behalf of the citizens of Kokomo, we wish to thank everyone who offered and provided help. Your efforts are forever appreciated and have not gone unnoticed. — Mayor Greg Goodnight, City of Kokomo
Our city is resilient beyond belief and will not be broken by a tornado.

NM Center for History opens new exhibit By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER — The North Manchester Center for History will welcome “Faces in the Crowd: Indiana and the Political Process,” a traveling exhibition of the Indiana Historical Society, from Sept. 13 through Oct. 10. This exhibition will be on display at the Center, 122 E. Main St., North Manchester. The Center for History brought this exhibit to town to provide historical context during a highly contested Presidential election year. “Faces in the Crowd” is not the story of the candidates behind the microphone, but of the individual citizens in the crowd — each of whom play a crucial role in ensuring the electoral process works. Without voters’ support, enthusiasm, and engagement, candidates would not be able to get the message out and win votes. Candidates for political office have visited Indiana throughout the state’s history in an effort to garner support and votes. Since the early years of the electoral political system, Hoosiers have attended rallies, expressed their opinions and participated at the polls. They have supported and opposed candidates, and of course, run for office themselves. Throughout its history, Indiana has possessed active, welldeveloped political organizations, including political parties as well as special-interest groups. Hoosiers have supported candidates on all sides of the political spectrum. The state has entertained vocal debate on issues and candidates as far
back as Abraham Lincoln and as recent as the 2008 presidential election. The included images have been collected from across the state, showcasing Hoosiers at a host of campaign
events throughout history. The IHS collections images that appear in the exhibition were placed in context with support and cooperation from The Indianapolis Star, the Calumet Regional
COLUMBIA CITY 119 Hoosier Drive 260-244-4111
Archives, and the University of Southern Indiana. The North Manchester Center for History hosts two traveling exhibits from the Indiana Historical Society every year.

From the HU News Bureau
HUNTINGTON — H u n t i n g t o n University is pleased to announce that DuPont Pioneer donated $5,000 toward the construction of the Haupert Institute for Agricultural Studies Greenhouse Project as part of the DuPont Pioneer sponsorship program. “We are grateful to DuPont Pioneer for partnering with us in this student impact project. We look forward to many others following their lead to make this vision a reality,” stated Vince Haupert, vice president for advancement. H u n t i n g t o n University is seeking to build a new, ground-level greenhouse to meet the growing needs of the Haupert Institute for Agricultural Studies and the Department of Biology. The new greenhouse will feature multiple zones with energy-efficient
Dr. Raymond Porter, director of the Haupert Institute of Agricultural Studies and Associate Professor of Agriculture shows students the different parts of a young soybean plant. Huntington University’s new greenhouse will help agriculture and biology students gain experience in greenhouse management as well as aquaponics or hydroponics operations. Photo provided environmental controls for managing temperature and lighting and will be located adjacent to Dowden Science Hall for easy access from teaching labs and fullday sun exposure. The proposed greenhouse complements the university’s existing small, eastfacing greenhouse. The current greenhouse has already been filled with a per-
manent living plant collection, and its small size restricts its usefulness to new programs and classes. “The new greenhouse will meet the teaching needs of ag courses like crop science, plant breeding, and plant pathology, and will provide additional resources for biology courses such as general biology and botany,” said Dr. Raymond Porter,
and fish for teaching and student research. Students will gain experience in basic greenhouse management as well as aquaponics or hydroponics operations.” Launched in the fall of 2014, the Haupert Institute for Agricultural Studies
at Huntington University promotes a Christian perspective on agriculture, which recognizes a responsibility to be good stewards of God’s creation and to examine questions of sustainability and justice. The program is intended to meet the growing
need for agribusiness innovation and entrepreneurship, communication and public policy, crop production, agricultural education and ministry and missions. To learn more about the Haupert Institute, visit www.huntington.edu/agriculture.

Lagro residents face felony drug charges Charges include dealing in methamphetamine By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com LAGRO – A Lagro father and son face felony drug charges after the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department received numerous 9-1-1 calls from their residence, 200 Davis St., on Aug. 29. John M. Green, 59, and Jerry T. M. Green, 24, were arrested Aug. 30 following a WCSD investigation. According to the probable cause affidavit:
Deputy Matthew Cox responded to the residence of 200 Davis St. after the department had received numerous 9-1-1 calls from the same number, which was associated with the address. Upon arrival at the address, Cox approached the garage where he heard possibly a party occurring. “I then looked through the garage window and observed a male, later identified as Jerry T. Green, … take a razor blade and make small cutting gestures on the
table and then scrape the razor blade side to side in small increments,” Cox said in his affidavit. “Through my training and experience as a police officer, I believed the subject was getting ready to consume illegal drugs.” Cox also smelled a strong chemical odor in the area, according to the affidavit. The officer arrested Jerry Green, who then advised he lived at the residence with his father, John. At 1:47 a.m. on Aug. 30, Judge Robert
McCallen III granted Cox and other assisting officers a warrant to search the property. During the search, officers located drug paraphernalia including a bottle of Liquid Fire, multiple razor blades and partially wet coffee filters; pieces of a white substance that field-tested positive for methamphetamine; a clear pitcher containing a crystal substance and a white cooler containing a pink crystal substance, according to the affidavit. Jerry Green was
charged with felony dealing in methamphetamine, felony possession of methamphetamine, felony possession of chemical reagents, felony illegal possession of a syringe, felony maintaining a common nuisance and felony obstruction of justice. John Green was charged with felony possession of methamphetamine, felony illegal possession of chemical reagents and maintaining a common nuisance.
Bovine TB management, surveillance plans set for deer From the DNR The DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife has announced plans to establish management and surveillance zones in three east central Indiana counties in response to the recent finding of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in a wild white-tailed deer at a Franklin County cattle farm. The plan designates a Bovine Tuberculosis Management Zone for the area south of State Road 44 in Fayette County and all of Franklin County. The area north of State Road 48 in Dearborn County will be a Surveillance Zone. In the Surveillance Zone, the DNR’s goal is to collect samples from between 350 and 1,100 deer, depending on the sex and age of the animal. The emphasis will be on bucks that are 2years-old or older. To meet this objective, the Surveillance Area will consist of periods of mandatory and voluntary check-in at biological check stations. Mandatory check-in of hunter-harvested deer will be required
at biological check stations on Sept. 24-25 and from Nov. 4 through Nov. 27. Hunters must check their deer online (www.CheckINGame. dnr.IN.gov) within 12 hours of harvest to obtain a registration number, then bring the deer to the biological check station within the same 12hour period after harvest. Voluntary sample submission will be from Oct. 1-Nov. 3 and Dec. 3-11. Hunters who harvest a deer in the Surveillance Zone must check in their deer within 12 hours of harvest. They will receive a registration number and instructions on how to contact the DNR for participation in the bTB surveillance effort. If enough samples are not collected through hunter-harvested deer to meet the surveillance objectives, DNR personnel and U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services will be used to remove deer from the Surveillance Area (northern Dearborn County) in early 2017. “We consider sharpshooting an undesirable option for surveillance, but it may
be necessary if hunter participation in the surveillance effort is low,” said DNR deer management biologist Joe Caudell. “So, it’s critical that hunters participate to eliminate the need for sharpshooting, and it’s important that hunters encourage each other to participate.” The focus in the Management Zone will be to reduce the wild deer population and potential spread of the disease. The DNR will use spotlight counts and other methods to establish baseline population size and density for the Management Zone. Additional deer will be removed from the bTB-affected cattle farm and surrounding areas as soon as possible. Hunters who harvest a deer in the Management Zone must check-in their deer within 12 hours of harvest to receive a registration number. Submitting samples for bTB testing is voluntary and can be done at established drop-off or staffed locations, or by calling toll-free at 1-844803-0002 to contact a DNR wildlife biologist to arrange a time and
location for heads to be sampled. From January until early April, landowner permits and sharpshooting may be used to reduce the number and density of deer in the Management Zone to lessen spread of the disease among wild white-tailed deer. Feeding deer and other mammalian wildlife will be banned in the Management Zone. Hunters who harvest a buck that is 2years-old or older from the Surveillance or Management areas and submit a sample for testing will qualify for an additional free buck tag that can be used to harvest a second buck from those areas. Participating hunters will be given a collectable Deer Cooperator Patch. Bovine tuberculosis was identified in a single cow in November 2008. Soon after, the disease was detected in farmed deer in 2009 in a nearby Franklin County farm consisting of red deer, elk, and fallow deer. The disease was detected in 2011 in a Dearborn County cattle farm and in April of this year on a cattle operation with two sites in Franklin
County. From 2008-2015, the DNR, Indiana State Board of Animal Health (BOAH), and U.S. Department of Agriculture tested more than 1,400 wild white-tailed deer from the area and all were found to be negative for bovine tuberculosis.

Saturday evening at Eugenia’s in the Honeywell Center. During both events, Lawrence discussed his career, how he managed to succeed at the 50 by 50 by 50 event, and also discussed various philosophies he has in his life. He said there are two ways to think about things. “You can either have a Plan A, or a Plan A, B and C,” he told both students and the Saturday evening group. “And I’m a firm believer that there is only a Plan A. “Now, what happens is you can plan your way to a failure. You can plan something, and you can continue to plan it until you think its perfect and then you execute it. And if you get into the mindset of trying to achieve per-
fection with your plan, you will never take action and put it into practice. “Plan A for me was 50 Ironmans in 50 days in 50 states. But how I got to the finish line, I had to be creative with.” On day one in Hawaii, he said, he was pulled over by the police and ordered to stop. “Do you think that was part of my Plan A,” he asked rhetorically. “There is no way I could have anticipated that. Plan A has to be the destination and the goal. Now you have to be creative and learn how to pivot with everything that life throws at you.” Many students have a goal of going to college, Lawrence said, adding, “That’s an awesome goal.”
“But let’s not be too rigid on the path that we take,” he continued. His plan for the 50 by 50 by 50 looked simple on paper and that it would work with no problems. “But the reality was I was exhausted by day four,” he admitted. “I would literally fall asleep in three seconds. They had to watch me consume food because I would fall asleep and not eat enough. “I couldn’t anticipate that level of exhaustion.” Lawrence also said he believes there are three things which everyone must do every day to be successful. One is they must learn. To do that, he said, one has to read. It doesn’t necessarily need to be a book, but one needs to read to
Locals remember those lost on Sept. 11 ... continued from the front page climbed 110 flights on the stair climbers at the Wabash County YMCA. “I think it’s close to us because we’re firefighters,” Krom told The Paper of Wabash County. The event also commemorates the deaths of three local firefighters that lost their lives in the line of duty. “We do this for them as well along with the 343,” Vigar said. “It’s just important to us.” Originally, Krom and Vigar kept the event between themselves, but as word spread about their personal tribute, interest has continued to grow and
more people have joined the climb. “I think it’s outstanding that people are supporting it just for the fact that it’s one way of people not forgetting that it happened 15 years ago, and that’s what we’re shooting for now,” Vigar said. “You know, it started as a friendly, personal tribute and it’s grown into the community actually remembering what it’s for.” This year, the event welcomed all members of the community to try the climb. While many firefighters decided to climb with their bunker gear on, the public wore
common workout gear and discovered it’s not as easy as it looks, according to Vigar. “The good thing about the public joining us this year is that they realize it’s tough to do in street clothes,” Vigar said. “Imagine doing it with 60 pounds of gear on.” Event participant Nicole Howard decided to climb as a way to show the local firemen how thankful she is for their service. “This is just very little that I could do to support all those that gave up their lives so selfishly to save ours,” Howard told The Paper.

learn. Exercise is something else that must be done daily and strive to have a good diet. The diet, he said, doesn’t need to be an A diet. Rather, a B-plus diet is what he strives for, meaning straying from the routine is acceptable at times. “This is the only time I tell people it’s OK to be mediocre,” he joked. Lawrence also said he always carries a book with him that has two columns. One column is headed “I am …” the other is “I want to be …” His goal is to move items from the “I want to be” column to the “I am” column, and to never let the “I want to be” column run out of items.

“It’s not just with (Sept. 11). It’s what they do every single day. They give up so much just to protect all of us.” Howard climbed the 110-flights in 22 minutes. “At first it was fine, but then in the middle of the 110, I started to struggle a little bit,” she admitted. “I really don’t think I could possibly do it in (bunker gear). I don’t even think I could do half of what they did. “I’m surprised that (the firefighters) were able to keep going and not pass out with just heat exhaustion.” This year, the event also provided the public an opportunity to donate to the Hoosier Burn Camp. Krom and Vigar began collecting donations last year and raised approximately $3,500, which sent three children to the camp. This year, the two firemen hope to match that amount. Krom and Vigar both appreciate the Wabash County YMCA’s support of the event as well as the community. “We appreciate everybody coming to support this,” Krom said. “We usually see people on the worst days of their lives whether be it in the ambulance service or the fire department going out on a fire. It’s nice to be able to see them … and show mutual appreciation for each other.”

Community Foundation hosts annual meeting spending, he said. Dr. Jeffrey Brookes noted that studies have shown that early childhood education has resulted in a 50 percent reduction in teen pregnancy and a 24 percent deduction in drug
dependency. It also helps the community in the long run, he continued, because it will help produce more nurses, more doctors and more people with a higher literacy rate.
Jim Smith, a retired educator who serves on the North Manchester Town Council and on the Board of the Manchester Early Learning Center, said there is proof that early childhood
learning opportunities are greatly needed in Wabash County. The Center, he said, is building a new facility in North Manchester. Its current building, he said, now has
space for 45 youngsters and a waiting list of 25. The new center, when finished, will be capable of housing 100 youngsters, and there already is a waiting list of 145 students.
County looks to cut $1.8M from ‘17 budget ... continued from the front page council would have to trim from its budget. “That brought us from an estimate of $1,583,000 approximate over the levy to
now we’re $1,802,253 over the max levy,” Grube told the Council. “So, like I said, we’ve got a lot of cuts to do.” The Council began
making cuts Thursday night to its various departments’ office supplies and trimming some salary increases. The Auditor’s
Office eliminated its line item for software maintenance, which amounted in approximately $45,000, to assist with the budget cuts.
After conversing about the cuts for four hours, the Council recessed the budget cut meeting until Monday, Sept. 12, at 5 p.m.

Yarhouse to open Forester Lecture Series From the HU News Bureau
HUNTINGTON — Dr. Mark Yarhouse, professor of psychology at Regent University, will kick off Huntington’s 20162017 Forester Lecture Series Sept. 29 by presenting a lecture on “Sexual Identity & the Christian.” “Sexual Identity & the Christian” will cover the experiences of LGBT students on Christian college campuses and ways in which Christian communities are responding. The lecture is free to the public and will be held at the College Park Church, 1945 College Avenue, Huntington, Indiana 46750, starting at 7:00 p.m. “Mark Yarhouse is a well-respected expert on issues surrounding sexual identity and gender dysphoria. The body of Christ needs patient and caring leaders to help the rest of us reason through these issues in ways that are compassionate,
clear and biblical. Dr. Yarhouse is quite possibly the best person to do that,” stated Dr. David Alexander, associate professor of philosophy / Forester Lecture Series coordinator. Yarhouse is also the Rosemarie S. Hughes Endowed Chair at Regent University, where he serves as executive director of the Institute for the Study of Sexual Identity. In addition, Yarhouse chairs the task force on LGBT issues for Division 36 (Psychology of Religion and Spirituality) of the A m e r i c a n Psychological A s s o c i a t i o n . Yarhouse has been a senior fellow with the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities to conduct a study of the experiences of sexual minorities on Christian college campuses. He founded the Institute for the Study of Sexual Identity in 2004 to educate students and

Chair Affair sets new record By The Paper staff The 2016 Chair Affair raised a recordbreaking $3,685 at the 19th annual Wabash Garden Fest on Saturday, Aug. 20. This year’s Chair Affair was dedicated to the memory of educator and event supporter Cheryl Koehler.
The annual event featured 59 chair entries that were sold at auction to raise funds for two local charities, Blessing in a Backpack and the Active Teachers Grant fund. Six chairs were chosen and presented seven awards prior to the auction. Metal Source’s
entry received the Keohler Family Choice award first place in the business category. Sharp Creek Art Club received second place in the business category. Kathy Werking’s entry received first place in the individual category while Jody Burkholder’s
chair submission received second. Twisted Scissors Salon’s entry was picked as 2016 Wabash County Festivals Queen Makayla Ridgeway’s Choice award. Leah Werking received Indiana State Festivals Association Mariah Kagel’s Choice award.

Sound control key to a calm, relaxing home By Metro Creative Connection
Inside and out, life can be loud. Retreat from the hustle and bustle of the world by making your home, or specific rooms within it, a calm, relaxing sanctuary. There's a room in
every house that could benefit from greater sound control, whether it's a home theater, music room, studio, home office, children's play room, bathroom, mechanical, or laundry room. Insulating properly will allow you to really enjoy your home that much more and
achieve a higher level of comfort. Experts suggest selecting a dense insulation with a nondirectional fiber structure to combat airborne noise such as music, speech and foot traffic. A top choice among builders, contractors, and homeowners is a
product called Roxul Safe 'n' Sound, which is specially designed for your home's interior walls, ceilings and floors. This insulation material creates an excellent sound barrier that effectively absorbs noise and reduces the transfer of sound waves from one room to another.
Its resistance to fire is an added benefit that also adds passive fire protection to your home, a type of fire precaution that is part of the core of the building and will help control fire by limiting its spread. Certain sound dampening measures, such as carpeting,
might also help alleviate echo and reverberation, as will acoustic panels that prevent sound reflections throughout a room. With basic DIY skills, you can simply and affordably construct your own acoustic panels using a stone wool rigid board called Comfortboard
80, which is effective at reducing the intensity and propagation of noise. Find an easy-to-follow tutorial a t www.roxul.com/diy.

WPD responds to Facebook report on dog By The Paper staff Wabash Police officials have spent most of the day Tuesday fielding calls from around the country in regard to a Facebook post concerning a local woman’s injured dog. The post, from Adrianna Catt, said a neighbor lured her dog into his yard where he then stabbed the animal in the face three times. She also claimed
that police arrived at the scene and maced the dog and her 12-yearold son. The neighbor, she said in the Facebook post, doesn’t like her animals and has called police on the family numerous times over the four years she has lived in her home in the 200 block of North Carroll Street.. Wabash Police met with The Paper of Wabash County on
Tuesday afternoon to discuss the event, which took place shortly after 8 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 31. In addition to a press release on the matter, they also provided two WPD case reports regarding the Aug. 31 incident and a separate incident that took place earlier in the month. According to Chief Matt Bruss and Sgt. Matt Benson, the WPD’s Public
Information Officer: Wabash Police received a call from a person in the 300 block of North Carroll Street about a pit bull that had pinned a man against a house. Police responded and saw a man in the 300 block of Wilson Street cornered between a fence and a garage by a dog. The man was frantic and yelling for help, police said. Police pulled their vehicle near the man and were trying to get him inside the car. However, according to the Aug. 31 case report on the incident, when the man began to move the dog became more aggressive toward him. Police tried to reposition the car to get it closer to the man, causing the dog to become more aggressive to both them and the man. It was then that the police used a chemical spray on the dog, causing it to turn away from the man. The man then was able to get to safety.
Police said the dog was indeed injured, and that the man admitted stabbing the animal with his pocketknife as a way of protecting himself. After the man was rescued, the dog then turned its attention back toward police and was again sprayed with the chemical spray. That caused the animal to run away from Wilson Street and back to Carroll Street. Police followed the dog and located a male juvenile who began petting the dog in the 200 block of Carroll Street. The youth told police it was his dog. The dog’s owner then came out of her home and police informed her what had taken place. They said they were going to check on the man and would be back to talk to the owner once they did. According to the case report, the man, John Reed Jr., told police that he was in his front yard with his two dogs

which were on leashes. The man said the pit bull came running around the corner toward his dogs, the report continued. The man picked up one of his dogs, but the other broke free of its collar trying to get away. He said the pit bull had him cornered between a fence and a garage, and he stabbed the animal with his pocket knife because it was trying to attack him. Police returned to Catt’s home and issued her a summons for having a dog at large (Wabash City Code 615). Police also warned her and two other people at the home for possible disorderly conduct, the report said. While police were speaking with the pit bull’s owner, the male juvenile said his face was burning. It was determined that while the youth was petting the dog, the chemical spray transferred from the dog to the boy. Police advised Catt to rinse the youngster with cold water to wash off the chemical spray. Bruss and Benson said this is not the first time Wabash Police have responded to a call regarding Catt’s animals. On Aug. 11, police responded to a dog bite at Parkview Hospital Wabash’s emergency room. According to the case report on that incident, Catt’s brother, Kyle Campbell, was being treated for a laceration on his right arm and two puncture wounds on the bottom side of his right arm. He told police that two pit bulls began fighting and he had tried to use a stick to separate the animals.
When that didn’t work, someone tazed one of the animals and that broke up the fight. Campbell advised, according to the case report, he was in the process of moving away from the dogs when he fell backward over a bicycle and one of the dogs attacked him. According to the case report, both Campbell and Catt said she came out of her home and fired four shots from a handgun at the dog, hitting it twice. The dog exited the yard and was located in the 200 block of North Fisher Street. A veterinarian was called to the scene to assess the dog’s condition, and the animal was eventually euthanized. Police said Catt wasn’t cited for the Aug. 11 incident. As for the Aug. 31 incident, Bruss said “The Wabash City Police are responsible for the safety of all citizens and officers chose to use non-lethal force to resolve the situation.” Police also said that Wabash County Prosecutor William Hartley was briefed on the most recent case and said there would be no criminal charges against Reed for defending himself on his own property. Bruss told The Paper that he has been fielding calls from around the U.S. since he arrived at the office shortly after 7 a.m. Tuesday. Benson also said that police have occasionally used lethal force against aggressive animals, but that the nonlethal method worked in the Aug. 31 incident.
