MSD’s Weaver to retire By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Dr. Sandra Weaver, MSD of Wabash County superintendent, is retiring. Effective June 30, Weaver will leave the school corporation after eight years with a “legacy,” she told the school board at a special meeting on Wednesday, June 8. “This is likely my 175th board meeting … and so I’m coming out tonight to announce my retire-

ment,” Weaver told the board and attending personnel. Before asking the board to accept her resignation, Weaver shared several of her memories she made since accepting the position in 2008. “I did some looking, thinking back, reflecting and I remember I had been hired, but I had not started yet so I came to a board meeting,” Weaver said, “and I remembered being really excited because it was a board meeting

about technology.” That meeting was about MSD’s computer quantity and “how we kept them locked down,” she continued. During her term, Weaver’s proudest moment was transitioning from classroom computer sets to One-to-One, a technology learning initiative that issued each enrolled student an electronic device to access the Internet, digital course material and digital textbooks, she told The Paper of

Wabash County following the board meeting. “The One-to-One will be the biggest thing because it changed how we do education for students,” she said. Through the initiative, MSD of Wabash County became one of the first schools across Indiana to implement and utilize eLearning, according to Weaver. She also oversaw the “painful” shift from open concept class(continued on page 25)

VPA program is in full swing By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash County’s Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) program kicked off Monday, June 6, and crafting and acting are underway. At the Charley Creek Gardens and Wabash High School art room, students grades second through 12th

began learning new art techniques, such as glass cutting and using plants as prints, each focused on this year’s theme, the five elements: earth, fire, water, metal and wood, according to Katy Gray, grades seventh through 12th program co-leader. “Any time that a student, a youth can get an additional opportunity to experience the arts is a treasure

because the arts helps kids in so many ways,” Gray told The Paper of Wabash County. “It’s expressive. It builds certain aspects of brain development … and creating is so important and so satisfying. “So that’s what’s important: the opportunity to create and to be affected by the arts.” (continued on page 26)

The city’s wastewater billing office moved Monday, June 13, from Wabash City Hall to the wastewater treatment plant. The move has been in the planning stages for the last few months. “I expect the move of the billing office to be completed today, and that they will be open for business (Tuesday) morning at the Wastewater Treatment plant,” Mayor Scott Long told The Paper of Wabash County on Monday morning. “Citizens can drop bills off today in the drop box at City Hall if they need to and they will be processed tomorrow morning. “Customers can also drop their payments off in the night deposit drop box of the new kiosk today.” Long, in an interview with The Paper in April, explained the reasons for the change. “Right now we have two people in wastewater billing,” Long said in the exclusive interview with The Paper on April 25. “If we (continued on page 25)

Crowd flocks to LaFontaine festival By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com LAFONTAINE — Floats, antique cars and tractors made their way through the streets here Saturday morning, June 11, during the annual LaFontaine Ashland Days Festival Parade. The parade drew about 40 entries, the largest number in parade chair Chris Hensley’s time overseeing the annual event. He said he thought the parade

More photos, Page 11 went well and that the crowd along the street appreciated the efforts of those involved. Hensley said work on the parade began about six months ago, but that it wasn’t until late April or early May that the majority of the work began. As part of the annual parade,

Janet Pattee spoke of the history of the community, which was originally named Ashland. Because postal authorities recognized another Indiana town as Ashland, the community was forced to change its name and chose LaFontaine. The town took its name after the last chief of the Miami nation, Chief Lafontaine. It was incorporated in the fall of 1880. “I love doing that,” Pattee told (continued on page 25)

Plans continue for all-inclusive park of its progress. The committee has been meeting monthly for the last six months, Myers said, and has broken into subcommittees, including one to focus on fundraising. Another committee is working with Green Hat Productions, a local video production company, to create two films and a website. One film will explain what the committee hopes to do with the park, Myers explained. The second film and website will follow the progress from start to finish. The website, www.morethanaplay ground.com, should be live within the next few days. Myers hopes it goes live before June 18, for that is a day that a fundraiser will take place at

Wellbrooke of Wabash. A car show is planned, and Mayor Scott Long, Police Chief Matt Bruss and Fire Chief Barry Stroup will be among those sitting in a dunk tank during the event. Myers said committee members also plan to be on hand at the event to help educate the public as to what an all-inclusive playground is. “This is unlike anything that is around here,” she said, noting that the closest park that is anything like what is planned here is in Chicago. The park was originally part of the Stellar Community Grant program. It was pulled out of the plans in February 2015 after it was learned that none of the three agencies involved in Stellar – the Indiana Department of Transportation, the Office of Community and Rural Affairs and the Indiana Housing and C o m m u n i t y D eve l o p m e n t Authority – provided funding for such projects. However, in May 2015, OCRA Representative K a t h l e e n Weissenberger notified local officials the agency had an additional $200,000 in federal C o m m u n i t y Development Block Grant funds that could be applied toward the playground. The city matched the OCRA contribution with another $200,000. Last August, the park board approved the plans for the first phase, which has a price tag of nearly $1 million. Myers said the plans had to undergo some changes and plans are to create many hillsides for children and adults to enjoy.

North Wabash Street could see improvements By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com North Wabash Street could see some improvements to coincide with the building of the new Parkview Wabash Hospital. Mayor Scott Long told those attending the June 8 Business Before Hours program at the Honeywell Center

that the city is exploring options in that area. “We’re going to try to get Wabash Street rebuilt to accept the increased flow of traffic on that north section,” Long told those gathered at the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce sponsored event. “We’re getting some quotes to get some designs to do that. “We’d like to curb

and gutter that, rebuild the road, install storm lines and put a sidewalk along Wabash Street so maybe we can interconnect some city trails with some trails that Parkview will potentially put on their property.” Groundbreaking for the new Parkview Wabash Hospital will take place at noon on June 30. Officials from

Parkview Health and the local hospital are expected to participate in the event, which will take place at 1800 N. Wabash St., the site of the new facility. Parkview and the former Wabash County Hospital affiliated in January 2015. As part of the affiliation, Parkview Health agreed to build a new facility. The 80,000-squarefoot facility will also

have a medical office building on its campus. Work on the $32 million facility is expected to take about 18 months. Long also addressed what he called “the bane of some of your existence, right now, Alber Street.” He said the city receives weekly updates from GAI Consulting, the engineering firm in charge of Phase 1 of

the project. The first phase runs from Cass Street north to Euclid Avenue. Workers were to begin milling the pavement on June 9 on Alber near Harrison Avenue. “I can’t remember if it’s going to be raised or lowered,” Long said. “There’s a lot of raising and lowering of the road surface in that area to assist with drainage. “The good news is (this) week they are adding a second crew, so what you’re going to see is simultaneous construction of milling of the streets and rebuilding of the streets, in conjunction with other areas where they will be laying storm water lines and structures and inlets along the road.” One hold up with the project, he said, is waiting for crews from Frontier Communication to move their lines from the old poles to the new poles recently put in place on the west side of the street. “The storm line

WPD investigating armed robbery By The Paper staff Wabash Police are investigating a June 9 armed robbery at the Boost Mobile store, 150 Harrison Ave. The robbery took place at approximately 9:36 p.m. According to a news release from Sgt. Matt Benson, Wabash Police’s Public Information Officer: A female clerk was the lone employee in the store at the time and was not physically injured in the robbery. It was reported that the suspect was wearing dark clothing and a black mask when he entered the store. The suspect displayed a handgun and got an undisclosed amount of

cash and the female clerk was not physically injured. The suspect exited the rear of the store, which leads into the

alley. Wabash Police are asking for help from citizens who might have seen someone exiting the store at the time of

the robbery. Wabash City Police Department was assisted by the Wabash County S h e r i f f ’ s

construction can’t take place until those lines are moved and Duke Energy comes back in and removes the poles,” he said. “Hopefully we’ll see some work on that soon.” The Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety approved a Right of Way Services Agreement with DLZ, an engineering firm with offices in Fort Wayne and Indianapolis for the project’s second phase. Phase 2 will extend from Euclid Street to U.S. 24, and DLZ’s services are not to exceed $121,000. “That bid letting is not scheduled currently to take place with (the Indiana Department of Transportation) until March of next year,” Long said. “That potentially could be pushed back to July, which would be a new fiscal year for INDOT, so we’re not sure. That may be delayed and it may not be delayed.”

Ivy Tech transition moving smoothly By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The transition of moving Ivy Tech C o m m u n i t y College’s Wabash campus from the Kokomo Region to the Northeast Region is moving smoothly. That was the word Wednesday morning, June 8, from Oliver Barie, Ivy Tech Community College Northeast’s Executive Director of Resource Development. Barie made the comments during the Wabash County Chamber of C o m m e r c e ’ s Business Before Hours.

Ivy Tech C o m m u n i t y College’s State Board of Trustees approved a recommendation to move the Wabash campus from the Kokomo Region to the Northeast region on May 24. “What we like to stress at Ivy Tech Northeast is community,” Barie said. “It’s a community college that’s here to serve you. You are our clients. We want to help you make your business better. “We want to help you make the pipeline you need of talent in the workforce. So, at the end of the day, we want to serve our students, but we also

want to serve what’s best for this community. “We take a county by county approach,” he continued. “We realize that each county is different. Every region within the state is different. That’s the mantra we operate by at Ivy Tech Northeast.” Campus officials

the same, whether it’s Ivy Tech Kokomo or Ivy Tech Northeast,” Barie said. “We’re here you serve you; you’re students, you’re children. We want to make this community a better place.” The switch to the Northeast region takes effect July 1.

NORTH MANCHESTER – Two North Manchester residents were arrested Wednesday, June 1, on drug-related charges including manufacturing methamphetamine. Benjamin L. Fetters, 22, and Boniqua L. Jones, 20, were taken into police custody after the Wabash County S h e r i f f ’ s Department received an anonymous tip on Tuesday, May 31. According to the

probable cause affidavit, WCSD officers received an anonymous phone call requesting a well being check on Fetters’ infant located at a residence in rural North Manchester along North 500 East. The caller advised that the home’s residents manufactured and used methamphetamines at the location, the affidavit continued. At approximately 10 p.m. Tuesday, deputies visited the home and spoke with Fetters, Deputy Eric Ryggs wrote in his affidavit. Fetters complied with the officers and brought out his infant from them to inspect, Ryggs continued. “(The infant’s) physical appearance appeared to be normal,” he said. The officers then requested to see if there was adequate food in the house for the baby and to

check the infant’s living quarters to assure they were efficient before leaving, Ryggs continued. Upon inspection of the bedroom Fetters and Jones shared with the infant, officers located a pipe that they recognized through training and experience to be used as drug paraphernalia, according to the probable cause affidavit. Fetters was then read his Miranda rights and officers applied for a search warrant, according to Ryggs. At approximately 12:56 a.m., officers arrived back at the residence to execute a search of the property, according to the affidavit. During the search, officers located a methamphetamine lab in the home’s bathroom and contacted the Wabash Drug Task Force for assistance in disposing of it, according

to Ryggs. Officers also located numerous drug paraphernalia including pipes, tubing, needles, instant cold packs, lithium batteries, aluminum foil and a clear plastic baggie containing a whitish powdery substance, which field tested positive for methamphetamine, among other items, Ryggs continued. The Wabash County Department of Child Services was notified and an agent arrived at the scene to conduct an investigation for assessment, accord-

ing to the affidavit. The agent advised officers that the infant would be taken for immediate action and transported to the hospital for further examination, the court documents continued. Fetters was preliminarily charged with felony dealing in methamphetamine, felony possession of methamphetamine, felony possession of chemical reagents, felony illegal possession of a syringe and felony maintaining a common nuisance. Jones was preliminarily charged with felony possession of methamphetamine and felony maintaining a common nuisance. Fetters’ and Jones’ initial hearings took place on Tuesday, June 7, wherein both entered a preliminary plea of not guilty. Their trial dates have been set for Oct. 4 and 5 at 9 a.m. with a pre-trial conference on Aug. 29 at 1 p.m.

Victims advocates undergo training By The Paper staff

MARION – Hands of Hope recently trained its two Outreach victims’ advocates in Wabash and Grant counties to increase its intervention services for people facing sexual assault. “This intense training provided me with a much better understanding of the survivors and their loved ones reactions to the trauma of sexual assault, such as, powerlessness, fear, despair and anger,” said Heidi Vandermark, Wabash County’s Outreach Victims Advocate for Hands of Hope, a division of Family Service Society, Inc.

Nate Birch and his K9 partner, Strider, come to the scene. Strider, under the command of Birch, did a free air sniff of the exterior of the vehicle. Strider alerted on the vehicle. A search of the vehicle yielded

about 120 grams of marijuana, a glass smoking device, hash oil, a partially smoked rolled marijuana cigarette, and miscellaneous paraphernalia. Cigarettes were taken off the juvenile. B u r n e t t e , Andritsch, and Martin were arrested and booked into the Wabash County Jail. The juvenile was cited for possession of tobacco and released to his parents.

According to a news release from interim North Manchester Police Chief Steve Olsen, Sgt. Greg Tomlinson made contact with the man, Aaron Sloop, 30, about 11:43 a.m. Sunday on Heeter Street and State Road 114 W.

Guest speaker planned at Genealogical Society By The Paper staff

Sara Allen from the Genealogy Center of the Allen County Public Library will give the June program at The Wabash County Genealogical Society. Using the tools of a genealogist’s trade, she successfully

tracked down relatives of a deceased soldier earlier this year. She will discuss her methodology in this case and give tips to use on family mysteries and brick walls. The meeting begins at 6 p.m. at the Living Well Winchester Center on Monday, June 20, and the public is always welcome.

Tomlinson noticed he pulled out two items from his pocket and threw them to the ground. Sloop then allegedly tried to conceal them by covering them with his foot. The items were field tested and found to allegedly contain crystal methamphetamine.

Sloop was arrested and booked into the Wabash County Jail on a warrant for maintaining a common nuisance and a petition to revoke probation. He also was preliminarily charged with possession of a controlled substance.

YOUR WEEKLY ISAAC-ISM: “I get asked often about what age should you start a child in the sport of tennis. Well, generally, it depends on the child. I use Andre Agassi as a role model for players mainly because of the person he has become through playing the sport he loves. Agassi started at the age of 3 years old, but he is the exception rather than the rule. The average age for starting tennis on the professional tour is 6 years old. But you don’t need to be holding a tennis racquet to learn the basic skills like coordination, mobility, and agility. Hundreds of other sports can contribute to being a tennis player. It’s tough for the parents and coaches who believe their child has potential, but the message of long-term development is patience. I promote the philosophy: to do our best to win we achieve an excellence that acts as a model for life.” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe and enjoyable week!

New ATU Clinic opens at Parkview Wabash By The Paper staff

The pharmacy department at Parkview Wabash Hospital has recently opened an Anticoagulation Therapy Unit (ATU clinic) located on the third floor in the Outpatient Infusion Center. The ATU clinic specializes in managing warfarin therapy and provides education on direct oral anticoagulants such as Xarelto, Eliquis, Pradaxa, and Savaysa. Patients who come to the clinic will receive one-onone education from a pharmacist or nurse on their anticoagulant and their respective indication. Warfarin patients will also have their International Normalized Ratio (INR) checked via a finger stick test. INR is the measure of how much longer it takes the blood to clot when oral anticoagulation is used. The ATU clinic pharmacist will then manage the warfarin dosage and schedule follow-up appointments. Patients receive immediate results and personalized counseling all within their visit. All INR results and warfarin doses are documented in Parkview s electronic health record system. “Studies have shown that an ATU clinic s management of warfarin therapy by a pharmacist improves patient outcomes for patients who are taking warfarin. We could be considered a „one stop shop in that the patient gets the test and the dose at the same time, in one quick visit. Patients often prefer this service because it is a finger stick instead of a lab draw,” said, Rebecca M e r e d i t h , P h a r m a c i s t , Parkview Wabash Hospital. The ATU clinic is directed by Medical Director William

Wilson, MD, Cardiologist, Parkview Physicians Group - Cardiology.

The ATU clinic is open by referral on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8

The vehicle eventually turned south onto Ogden Road where it traveled far left of center on two occasions and Cox initiated a traffic stop, the court documents continued. “The vehicle took an unusually long time to stop,” Cox said in the affidavit. The driver – identified as Howard – had a suspended driver’s license and the same was true for passengers King and Bradley, according to the affidavit. Cox requested an additional officer to the scene due to the subjects’ extensive history and Howard taking an unusually long time to stop, the court documents continued. “As I made verbal contact with Mr. Howard, he began to move and reach

around his vehicle causing me to be suspicious that he may have a weapon,” Cox said. “After a few seconds, I observed a small object in Mr. Howard’s hand and he appeared to be trying to hide it from me and he did not comply and continued to move around, placing his hand on a drink and also placing his hand down between his seat and drive-side door.” Cox said he was suspicious that Howard had hidden some type of illegal contraband within the vehicle and detained him, according to the affidavit. “Due to the totality of the circumstances, I was suspicious that the vehicle contained illegal drugs,” Cox said. “As a result, I deployed my K-9 partner Cato, who is trained to detect the odor of illegal drugs.” While walking around the vehicle, Cato positively altered to the odor of illegal drugs coming

from the vehicle, according to Cox. Officers began searching the vehicle and found numerous plastic baggies with the corners cut off, several small zip-lock baggies and two small zip-lock baggies with a white/clear crystal substance which field tested positive for methamphetamine, according to the affidavit. King was preliminarily charged with misdemeanor visiting a common nuisance and misdemeanor possession of paraphernalia, but during his booking into the Wabash County Jail, he was found to have concealed on his person three hypodermic needles, one of which contained a clear liquid, and a spoon. King then received an additional charge of felony possession of a syringe, Bradley was charged with visiting a common nuisance.

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts (IASWCD) announced that Lisa Holscher has been hired as the new Director of the Conservation Cropping Systems Initiative (CCSI). Accepting this new position, Holscher will work with the CCSI Oversight Committee to develop and achieve long-term goals and objectives for this initiative. She comes with a wealth of experience and expertise in project and business man-

agement with a current focus on conservation. She has spent the last four years as the Soil Health Program Manager with IASWCD and the CCSI. In recent past, she has been highly successful in coordinating Regional CCSI Hub Teams, fostering partnerships and collecting trial and yield data from multiple projects. In previous years, Lisa was a W a t e r s h e d Coordinator, Adjunct professor of Precision Ag at Vincennes University and coordinator of various other management projects. Holscher has a passion for conservation

and helping to improve the sustainability, profitability and soil health of farmers and farms in Indiana. She states, “I’m excited about building on this core CCSI team. When I think about Indiana’s growing acreage of healthier, more biologically active soils – I think about the positive environmental impacts, the improved resiliency to extreme weather, and improved profitability for our farmers – it’s a win-winwin. And for me, I get to look back and know I am part of making that difference.”

VIEWPOINT

Mental Health Month was recently celebrated Dear Editor: Mental Health America (MHA) is a national organization that declared May as Mental Health Month annually 67 years ago. This declaration was to raise awareness about mental

health conditions and the importance of good mental health. MHA has state and local affiliates, including MHA of Wabash County, who supports MHA? s mission on a local level. Last year, Mental

Health America began a Ò B4Stage4Ó initiative to help individuals understand that when you address mental health symptoms before Stage 4, people can often recover more quickly, and live full

and productive lives. This year, Mental Health America is building off of the B4Stage4 message and encouraging individuals to give voice to what it really means to live at stages 1, 2, 3, and 4 of mental

illness. Ò Life with a Mental IllnessÓ is meant to help remove the shame and stigma of speaking out, so that more people can be comfortable coming out of the shadows and seeking the help

Retired Grissom commander appreciates support Dear Editor: As I complete my tour as the Commander of the 434th Air Refueling Wing at Grissom Air Reserve Base, I would like to share a few thoughts with you. The 434th is known as the Hoosier Wing and although we wear that badge proudly, many in our ranks hail from outside the state’s border. In fact, we have members who live in 34 different states

that travel to Grissom and spend time each month in Wabash, Miami, Cass, Howard, and Fulton counties and the cities of Wabash, Peru, Kokomo, and Logansport. I tell you that to tell you this: Thank You! Your warm hospitality to the men and women of our great wing is evident daily. From hotels and restaurants to ball fields and bowling alleys, this region’s strong sense of support for those serv-

ing here does not go unnoticed. In fact, our relationship with the local communities is truly the envy of many. Whether it be for our airmen, soldiers, sailors and Marines that call Grissom home, you, our neighbors, have always carried the torch of patriotism. We pride ourselves on being a good neighbor, and we brag about the good neighbors we have. As you know, we are embroiled in a

war. The global war on terror. I tell people all the time we’re going to win this war. It won’t be today. It won’t be tomorrow, but we will win it because of the dedicated service members that are supported by the dedicated patriots that surround us. Since my time at Grissom has come to an end, I wanted to put pen to paper and thank you for your support, your hospitality, your warmth and values. I can’t

think of a better place to serve, and I know our paths will cross again. Grissom and North Central Indiana will always be my home because of the shared Hoosier values and an enduring optimism for a brighter future. I salute you, the citizens of North Central Indiana and wish you all the best in the years to come. — Douglas J. Schwartz, Colonel, USAF, 434th Air Refueling Wing

Blood donors appreciated Dear Editor: We want to thank all of our donors and volunteers who helped may our blood drive a success on

May 26. Also, we wish to thank the North Manchester Church of the Brethren for allowing us to use

their facility to have this drive again. Thank you for your consistent donations. Our goal was 54 to 59 units, and we received

a total of 58 units. The next blood drive will be at this location on Thursday, July 21, 2016. Mark your calendars and

we hope to see you there. On behalf of the American Red Cross, thank you. – Donna Renicker

Letters to the editor policy 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 follow-

ing guidelines: Mailed and faxed letters must be signed. All submissions, including by email, 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.

they need. People are encouraged to speak up about how it feels to live with mental illness by tagging social media posts with #mentalillnessfeelslike. Posting with MHA? s hashtag is a way to speak up, to share your point of view with people who may be struggling to explain what they are going through, and to help others figure out if they too are showing sings of a mental illness. Speaking out can encourage others to recognize symptoms early on in the disease process, and empower individuals to be agents in their own recovery. In addition, the national MHA has developed a series of fact sheets available on its website ( w w w. m e n t a l healthamerica.net/m ay) which includes risk factors and signs of mental illness, understanding what mental illness is and isn? t, and how and where to get help when needed. Sharing is the key to breaking down the stigma surrounding mental illnesses and to show others that they are not alone in their feelings and symptoms. Research shows that by ignoring symptoms, up to ten years is lost during which time someone could have intervened in order to change people? s lives for the better. The importance of intervention is one reason why MHA of Wabash County is conducting Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) courses in

the county. These courses educate the public and professionals on various mental health conditions and addictions as well as how to apply Ò first aidÓ in helping people receive early treatment and diagnosis for greater recovery. MHA of Wabash County has conducted two MHFA courses to date with more planned after two board members, Hope Brown and Keith McWithey, become certified MHFA instructors, thanks to a grant from Parkview Wabash Hospital. The course, held in March at Manchester University, was taught to 28 students and one staff member. On May 5, another course was held in Wabash, sponsored through a grant from the Community Foundation of Wabash County with additional support from Crossroads Bank, The Investment Center at Crossroads Bank, and Strauss Veal Feeds. We are deeply appreciative to these grant sponsors and businesses who support this valuable education as well as our donors. Although a United Fund agency, we are dependent upon additional donations to achieve our goals. Therefore, we sincerely thank all who support our efforts to provide agency, referral services, and education for good mental health. – Karen Newhouse, Mental Health American of Wabash County director

Fireworks in Indiana: Buy legally, store and use safely, officials say Article provided As Independence Day celebrations draw near, the Indiana State Fire Marshal is reminding Hoosiers about the safe and legal ways to buy and store fireworks. Fireworks should only be purchased from a vendor with a valid Indiana fire-

works sales permit. Fireworks vendors must have a permit from the Indiana Department of Homeland Security’s (IDHS) Fire and Building Safety Division, which is overseen by the State Fire Marshal. If a sales permit is not on display, it is okay to ask employees to see it before purchasing

Norma Jean Pottenger, 85

any kind of fireworks. If a fireworks retailer is not displaying, and is unable to provide a copy of its permit, citizens can call the IDHS Division of Fire and Building Safety at 317-232-2222. A d d i t i o n a l reminders to consider when purchasing fireworks:

(

Fireworks cannot be sold to or purchased by anyone younger than 18. Check packages and labels to make sure only 1.4G consumer fireworks are purchased; any other types of fireworks are illegal for consumer sales or purchases in Indiana, and may be more explosive.

Store fireworks in a cool, dry place. Be sure fireworks are out of the reach of children. Consider buying glow sticks instead of sparklers for children – sparklers can burn at temperatures high enough to melt glass. For more information on fireworks safety, visit GetPrepared.in.gov.

Industry data estimates that U.S. local food sales totaled at least $12 billion in 2014, up from $5 billion in 2008. More information on how USDA investments are connecting producers with consumers and expanding rural economic opportunities is available in Chapter IV of USDA Results on Medium. Two examples of Va l u e - A d d e d Producer Grant awards from 2015 include: S h o s h o n e B a n n o c k Enterprises in Fort Hall, Idaho, received a $75,000 grant to conduct a feasibility study on processing, packaging and marketing buffalo meat, a first step in identifying potential new market opportunities. Sappa Valley Poultry in Oberlin, Kan., received a $49,663 grant to expand distribution of their free-range chicken products into eastern Colorado and west-

ern Kansas markets. C o n g r e s s increased funding for the Value-Added program in the 2014 Farm Bill. That law builds on historic economic gains in rural America over the past six years, while achieving meaningful reform and billions of dollars in savings for taxpayers. Since 2009, USDA Rural Development has invested $11 billion to start or expand 103,000 rural businesses; helped 1.1 million rural residents buy homes; funded nearly 7,000 community facilities such as schools, public safety and health care facilities; financed 180,000 miles of electric transmission and distribution lines; and helped bring high-speed Internet access to nearly 6 million rural residents and businesses.

Va l u e - A d d e d Producer Grants are a key element of USDA’s Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food initiative, which coordinates the Department’s work to develop local and regional food systems. Secretary Vilsack describes the cultivation of local and regional food systems as one of the four pillars of rural economic development that impacts farm family income and strengthens local economies. Under Secretary Vilsack, USDA has supported providing consumers a stronger connection to their food with more than $1 billion in investments to over 40,000 local and regional food businesses and infrastructure projects since between 2009.

Ugalde’s changes location, name By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Ugalde’s is moving to North Cass Street and taking over the previous Ponderosa location. Founded in 2000, the family restaurant will be moving from its current location on 1950 S. Wabash St. to a new facility at the intersection of North Cass Street and U.S. 24, according to Gabriel Ugalde, owner. Together with his brothers Bernardo Alcantara and Alfredo Ugalde, Ugalde purchased the Ponderosa facility in early March and, on March 31, officials from Ponderosa announced the restaurant would be closing. In addition to a new location, Ugalde’s will be undergoing other changes as well, including a new name. The restaurant’s new name will be “The Fried Egg Restaurant and Café,” Ugalde told The Paper of Wabash County. Why the new name? “My concept here in Peru is working and we

feel like a name could matter just by what you’re focusing on, which in this case is breakfast,” he explained. “I feel like we’re really good at breakfast, so why not give it the name that someone can remember easily.” The Fried Egg will specialize in breakfast and lunch from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m., he continued. New menu items will include homemade dishes such as the AllAmerica waffle and more healthy items including fresh fruits and salads. The new name and location will bring a fresh start and upgrade to the Wabash restaurant. “We’re going to freshen up (the restaurant),” Ugalde said. “It’s going to almost be kind of a fancy, but affordable for people.” The Fried Egg will also offer patrons a more “upscale” dining experience, similar Ugalde’s Peru-based restaurant Gabriel’s. “We always wanted to do something unique in (the Wabash) community, something

that people would recognize us for,” Ugalde explained, “and we’ve always felt that we really put love and effort into our breakfasts. We wanted to put a signature in that. “We’re already doing that and … doing well in Peru and Marion and I just want to bring that to Wabash.” The restaurant has a long way to go before it opens, according to Ugalde. “It’s a big project,” he said. “We’re doing a top-to-bottom renovation. Flooring, lighting, brand new kitchen. Ugalde’s was good, but this is going to be even better. It’s going to be on another level. “We’re hoping to be done with all the renovations by late summer.” Although it’s grand opening is still a few months away, depending on how the business goes during the first year, Ugalde said the restaurant may begin serving on Friday and Saturday nights, but that’s still yet to be determined. “All of our energy

will be focused on doing things right from the beginning,” he explained. Ugalde said that he knows some customers will still refer to the new location as Ugalde’s. “One customer came in and (told me), ‘I don’t care about the name. I’ll still call it Ugalde’s.’ And I said, ‘Hey that’s fine. I don’t have any problem with it,’” Ugalde said with a smile. “I’m sure people will get used to it (eventually). We’ve been here 16 years. … Our locals have gotten to know Ugalde’s pretty well and now there’s going to be a change and they’ll get to it, too. … It’s still the Ugalde brothers.” Ugalde said he is aware that there are rumors another restaurant may come in under the Ugalde’s name, but he will not be associated with that restaurant if it does come to fruition.

Dials joins staff of Historical Museum By The Paper staff Alexa Dials is the new Director of Programs at the Wabash County Historical Museum. Dials joined the Museum team on May 31, and currently serves as the Director of Programs. She is a graduate of Northfield High School and brings local and educational knowledge to the position. She will be spear-heading monthly Family Fun Days and various other museum programs and events including a revived partnership with local schools and educators. In an effort to increase awareness and encourage attendance, the Museum’s monthly Family Fun

Days, which previously took place on the third Saturday each month, will transition to the first Friday of each month. Family Fun Day will continue to feature crafts, activities, special speakers and free admission. The transition to the Friday event will occur July 1, from 4 to 8 p.m. This change reflects the desire of the Museum staff to collaborate with W a b a s h Marketplace’s Downtown First Friday event and support downtown busi-

nesses. “We were collaboratively trying to develop new ideas on how to increase attendance and garner interest in our Family Fun Days,” Dials said. “We realized it just made sense to align with Downtown First Friday. That event has been seeing a great turnout; families are already downtown.” So as to not take away the free, third Saturday, the Museum will continue to offer free admission on the third Saturday of every month. Guests will have the opportu-

nity to enjoy a craft, tour the Museum and play in the Parkview Wabash Education Center. The Family Fun Day for June will still be held on Saturday, June 18th from 11:00

a.m. to 2:00 p.m. This month’s event focuses on Native American history and will include crafts, scavenger hunt, “Food of the Land” and an appearance by members of the Miami Nation of Indians. Admission is free and everyone is invited to attend!

Moore nominate as District 18 Democratic candidate David PurvisFenker david@nmpaper.com NORTH MANCHESTER — The Wabash County Democratic Party, together with the Kosciusko County Democratic Party, caucused June 7 to nominated Dee Moore to run against David Wolkins for the District 18 seat in the Indiana State House of Representatives. District 18 covers all of Wabash County, part of southern Kosciusko County, and small portions of Grant and Miami Counties. A caucus is required by Indiana state law to fill a ballot vacancy after the primary election. The June 7 caucus was called after Moore decided to run against Wolkins in March. David Kolbe, Chairman of the Kosciusko County Democratic Party, nominated Moore at the caucus, and party members voted unanimously for her. Moore and her husband, Stan, live and farm in Kosciusko County. She has been active in the community for years as a Whitley County 4-H leader and judge, and also as a substitute

teacher both in M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools and Whitko Community Schools. Moore holds a degree from Purdue in Fine Arts and Art Education, K-12. In her spare time, she is a studio artist. “We’re content where we are, but we just can’t handle what’s going on in our district and across our country,” said Moore. “This campaign is really about who Dave Wolkins is and what he represents, and that is something called ALEC (the A m e r i c a n L e g i s l a t i v e Exchange Council) ALEC.” According to its website, ALEC “is America’s largest nonpartisan, voluntary membership organization of state legislators dedicated to the principles of limited government, free markets and federalism. As listed on ALEC’s website, the Indiana State Chairs for ALEC are Rep. David Frizzel of District 93, representing parts of Marion and Johnson Counties, and Wolkins. Moore discussed a variety of bills and movements that ALEC proposed.

Included in these were Stand Your Ground laws, the privatization of prisons and schools, abortion restrictions, and religious freedom in relation to the rights of transgender and bi, gay and lesbian citizens. “Transgender people are 41 percent more likely to commit suicide. These people need our love and our support, not our finger pointing,” said Moore. “[Democrats] are about being openminded and learning.” The Moore campaign maintains a Facebook page titled “District 18 Deserves Moore,” on which she regularly posts about issues related to her campaign and ALEC. “People need to be educated about what’s taking over this country, and it’s not states’ rights, it’s this corporation and billionaires’ group,” said Moore. Moore supports LGBT rights, green energy, women’s rights and tax reform. “I’ve always had a problem with a billionaire being able to say ‘Well, I’m going to drill a well for you, and I’m going to give this school money and I’m going to do

that, instead of it being the people, when we used to tax them,” said Moore. “Then the people had the money and decided who they wanted to help, and they helped everybody.” Wolkins (RWarsaw) responded to Moore’s comments on his ALEC affiliation. “I’m very proud of my ALEC association,” said Wolkins, who noted that ALEC is a bi-partisan organization made up of approximately 80 percent Republican and 20 percent conservative Democrat legislators. “ALEC’s motto is one I believe in,” he said. “Their motto is limited government, free markets and federalism, and we work with anyone who wants to make government more efficient and accountable to the people.” Wolkins said he joined ALEC in the early 1990s as a way to learn from and exchange ideas with his colleagues. He said they meet three times a year to discuss policy on a number of national issues and create model legislation based on those discussions.

principals, who were in the audience, came to the district in their present posts. Board members Troy Baer and Matt Driscoll were involved with the district when she became superintendent, but “they were not in the places they are now,” she noted. “So when the board interviewed me -

Matt’s the only remaining board member - I asked and you guys either didn’t know or you straight out lied but you told me I had to hire a couple people,” she said, drawing a few laughs, “and I hired you all. “I’ve talked a lot with the board about legacy and I’ve had different members of

office. The two current employees, along with the wastewater plant office manager, will ensure customers can be served throughout the day, even when an employee may be on vacation or off sick. As part of the move, a drive-up kiosk system was installed to residents don’t need to leave

their vehicles to pay their bills. Their payment can be sent to the office via a pneumatic tube, and they can communicate with office personnel through a video screen. The wastewater treatment plant underwent several changes, including making the building handicapped accessi-

said. “You still receive your normal monthly bill and the payment is automatically withdrawn from your bank account on the due date. You can also pay your bill on our website with a credit or debit card.” The city’s wastewater treatment plant is located at 700 S. Carroll St.

This year she spoke of what could be considered a drive-in movie when, decades ago, a sheet was strung across the street and families from around the area came down on Saturday nights to watch a movie. “That was something I sure wish I

It was really great.” Other highlights from the two-day event were a tractor

Although the board called the announcement “early,” Weaver told The Paper it’s right on time. “I know they said ‘early,’ actually I just look young,” she said. “I’m 60, so it’s not early retirement.

VPA program is in full swing take on the musical comedy “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.” David Shoue, leading actor in the comedic production, joined VPA for the first time this year and told The Paper he can’t believe what the program is able to pull off. What floors him is “the amount of time that it’s expected to be done in,” Shoue said. “I think that for most of the kids it gives them more of a professional group (to perform with),” he continued. “Anything that you might be able to do in high school, it’s a lot more easy and dulled down and things aren’t quite as difficult as you’d see in a professional area. “So having (VPA) is really nice. You won’t be thrown into (theatre) later on, not knowing what to expect and, coming from a high school production that can’t quite compare, this is a great next step to try and get your head around it.” Without this program, four-year VPA

theatre member Miranda Nose said she wouldn’t have the love of theatre and confidence that she does now. “Through theatre, being in it from such a young age, you really develop a confidence,” she said. “I’m not scared to speak in front of people, to do public speaking. A lot of people worry about that, but that’s never bothered me because I’ve always had this amazing program to teach me how to present.” Growing up with VPA, Nose said she’s grown a lot both as a performer and a person. “I feel like the people that are involved with this program are not only just concerned about the show, but also us as people,” she explained. “We have some really awesome people involved with this.” There is a lot of care and effort put into each performance, Nose continued. “So come see the show,” she added a laugh.

VPA students will finish art pieces and learn entire theatre productions, but also take home confidence, friends and new artistic skills thanks to the summer program, according to Emily France, head director of the seventh through 12th grade production. “The biggest thing, if I were to name one thing is I want them to come away with a sense of confidence in themselves that maybe they didn’t have before they came in,” France said. “Whether that be a sense of confidence in who they are … or some of the older kids, it’s a sense of confidence in what they can do on stage.” Without VPA, the community would be lacking a creative outlet for children during the summer months, according to Lynne Keffaber, fourth through sixth grade art program leader. “During the summer, sometimes many people do sports and other activities like that but the arts kind of go to the wayside,” she said, “and I think that this is a way to give three compacted hours for two weeks

Coroner presents options for new morgue schedule. If outsourcing is chosen, Whitesel recommends transporting the deceased to Kokomo. “We have a fantastic forensic pathologist that travels to Wabash to do my autopsies now,” said Whitesel. When asked about the number of autopsies performed each year, Whitesel said that Wabash County has averaged 9.7 autopsies per year since she has been in office. One problem with outsourcing would be vehicular maintenance. “If we take a deceased to Kokomo and the autopsy can’t be done until the next day, we come back, we go back. So there’s extra mileage and wear and tear on the vehicle. It’s going to be, I think, quite expensive to keep one,” said Whitesel. The second option presented was building a morgue. Whitesel suggested a property located next to the Wabash Police

David Purvis-Fenker david@nmpaper.com The Wabash County Coroner has been busy investigating options for a new morgue. The new Parkview Wabash Hospital will not include a morgue like the current hospital, so Coroner Carol Whitesel presented a number of options to the Board of Commissioners on Monday. “Our new hospital is not going to facilitate a morgue, so we have to look at some options,” Whitesel said. The options she presented were outsourcing, building or working with a local funeral home. According to Whitesel, outsourcing would require the purchase of a vehicle to properly transport the deceased to a facility for autopsy. She was optimistic about the possibility of getting a vehicle from LaPorte County due to its twoyear replacement

We won’t need a vehicle,” said Whitesel. Currently, the Wabash Fire Department handles body transportation for the Coroner’s Office. The Board of Commissioners raised concerns about state regulations concerning the building of a morgue, and also the cost. “If we only have nine per year, and we can ship them out for $100, $150 a piece, transport cost; I mean, I don’t know if we’ll be able to build a building, but that gives us an option to look at and see where we’re at,” Vice Chair Scott Givens said.

Future Plans: Attend Trine University to study biology with plans to become a dentist 4-H Club: Tip Top 4-H Projects: Beef, Poultry, Swine, & Pygmy Goats 4-H Grows Employability: Drake believes that 4-H has helped him grow employability through the day to day work he does with his animals. “You can’t just show up at the fair. You have to work with your animal every day. Then, when it is show time, you have to check-in at a certain time, prepare, and get to your show class on time. A job is the same way. You must be responsible and get to work on time every day.” Drake believes that social and communication skills he has learned in 4-H make him more employable. Through 4-H he has talked with judges and other 4-H members that he normally would not have. He knows that as a dentist in the future he will need these good communication skills as he works with patients in the office. Drake concluded, “Everyone should definitely do 4-H, it teaches patience, which we all need. However, the best part of 4-H is the friendships that you make and the fun you have.” Even if the fun to be had is getting in trouble for having water fights in the barns.

Future Plans: Study health science and play basketball with future plans of being a nutritionist 4-H Club: Northfield

4-H Grows Employability:

“4-H has taught me to be more responsible, to complete paperwork and submit it by the deadline, and to have good time management.” Payton knows that these are all skills that make her more employable. Through 4-H she has learned that there is a job to be done and that you must do it in the amount of time you are given. She knows that the same will be true when she obtains a job as a nutritionist in the future and believes that it makes her more employable that she has learned this through her 4-H work. Recalling a time as a young 4-H member that her calf took off pulling her around the barn, Payton admitted that sometimes even with the best preparation, things don’t go as planned. It can be frustrating, but you can’t get mad and quit. Instead, good 4-H members and employees work through the unexpected. Payton concluded by recommending that more kids become involved in 4-H. “4-H is an activity that you can participate in as a family and enjoy as a community.”

“Through 4-H I have learned to excel in areas that employers need. 4-H has taught me hard work and to be more responsible. I have learned that I have to be on time with completing projects and turning them in or there are consequences. 4-H also encourages me to keep working to the best of my ability.” Seth believes that all of these skills learned in 4-H are relevant for employees in their jobs and by learning them early means that 4-H members are reliable in their work. When thinking of how this relates to his future as a nurse practitioner, Seth believes that stretching himself to do things like serving as a 4-H Camp Counselor has improved his communication skills especially with younger kids. Seth knew that working with younger kids was an area that could use some growth. Being a 4-H Camp Counselor helped him learn to communicate and be more social as he worked to grow skills valued in the nursing field.

31 60 Wabash County students recognized for Symphony in Color artwork THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

June 15, 2016

By The Paper staff Sixty Wabash County students will be honored Tuesday, May 17, for their artwork and participation in 65th annual Symphony in Color program. Family, school principals and administrators will recognize the students, which represent nine schools and a group of home-schooled children, for their work and efforts at a reception in the Honeywell Center Legacy Hall at 1 p.m. Symphony in Color is an enrichment program, presented by the Wabash Unit of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra Association, wherein children grades first through sixth listen to classical music selections and then draw a visual interpretation of the music of what the piece meant or suggested to them. The program is presented with support from the Honeywell Foundation. The purpose of the program is to encourage young children to appreciate symphonic music, inspire creative interpretation of music through visual arts, provide an opportunity for interdisciplinary study of the performing and visual arts, and to increase awareness of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and its role as a cultural leader in the state of Indiana. The children then submitted their artwork to the main competition in Indianapolis where it

was judged, competing with artwork from across the state. During the Wabash County art sessions led by Charly Dye and Judy Ward, local students listened to five selected compositions including Richard Strauss’s “Also Sprach Zarathustra, Op. 30, Introduction,” Peter Tchaikovsky’s “Symphony No. 4, Op. 36, Scherzo: Pizzicato ostinato – Allegro” and Gustav Holst’s “The Planets, Op. 32, Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity,” Ludwig van B e e t h o v e n ’ s “Symphony No. 6 in F major (“Pastoral”), Op. 68, Merry gathering of the country folk’ and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s ‘Symphony No. 40, K. 550, Finale.’ After listening to the selections, each student chose one musical number to inspire his or her art interpretation. The students then prepared their art pieces to present to their art teachers. The teachers then chose six or seven entries to submit to the main competition. Entries sent to Indianapolis were judged on the qualities of musical interpretation, age-appropriate artwork, color or shading, balance and overall appeal. At the May 17 reception, the students’ artwork will be on display and each student will be presented an award ribbon and certificate of achievement. Photos of students with their art teachers will also be taken. The following stu-

USDA marks National Homeownership Month From the USDA WASHINGTON – Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack recently kicked off National Homeownership Month by highlighting USDA’s ongoing role to help people buy homes in rural areas. “Owning a home helps promote stable communities and is one of the best ways American families can build wealth,” Vilsack said. “During the Obama Administration, USDA has helped more than one million rural families and individuals realize their dreams of homeownership. This year, our celebration of National Homeownership Month will recognize partnerships with some of the many organizations that have worked with us to make this achievement possible.” USDA builds strong relationships with lenders, home builders, realtors, community development organizations, non-profits and housing finance authorities to provide homeownership opportunities to verylow, lowand moderate-income individuals in rural areas. USDA’s Guaranteed Loan program, for instance, increases access to mortgage financing in rural communities by offering approved lenders

a 90 percent loan guarantee to offset their risk if a borrower defaults. By partnering with approved public and private lenders, more than one million low- to moderate-income families have bought and refinanced homes in rural America through this program during the Obama Administration. The program requires no down payment from the applicant, offers a fixed interest rate, and has a 30-year loan term. The Department recently announced a series of changes that will make it faster and cheaper for rural homeowners with USDA-backed mortgages to refinance their loans and save money with a lower interest rate. The changes take effect June 2. Interested homeowners with USDA loan guarantees should contact their lender about refinance procedures. Homeowners with mortgages through USDA’s Direct Loan program should contact a USDA housing specialist. In addition to mortgage financing, USDA provides grants and loans to help rural homeowners make improvements or repairs, such as removing health and safety hazards or making accessibility modifications for people with disabilities. USDA

has invested more than $137 billion since 2009 to support rural homeownership. In 2015 alone, the Department invested $19.5 billion to help more than 148,500 rural families buy or make repairs and safety upgrades to their homes. USDA created more homeownership opportunities through seven years of the Obama Administration than during any previous seven-year period in the singlefamily housing program’s history. USDA employees will celebrate National Homeownership Month throughout June with events across the nation that demonstrate the commitment to provide access to affordable housing for low- and moderate-income rural residents. To learn more about USDA’s observance of National Homeownership Month, please visit our Facebook page or contact a Rural Development State Office near you. USDA Rural Development has helped 1.1 million rural residents buy homes since 2009; funded nearly 7,000 community facilities such as schools, public safety and health care facilities; and invested $31.3 billion in 963 electric projects that have financed more than 185,000 miles of transmission and distribu-

tion lines serving 4.6 million rural residents. USDA also has invested $11 billion to

start or expand 103,000 rural businesses; and helped bring high-speed In-

ternet access to nearly 6 million rural residents and businesses. For more informa-

THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

June 15, 2016

Truman advances in baseball competition By The Paper staff Jaidon Truman, a Wabash Little League athlete, advanced to the MLB Pitch, Hit and Run Team Championship on Saturday, June 11,

at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago. Jaidon, a member of the Blackhawks team, competed in the League’s local competition on April 24 where he won as overall champion for

the 11-12-year-old age group. He then competed at the Fort Wayne sectional on May 28 and scored in the top three overall. Unlike the Wabash event, competitors

might win their sectional as champion and not advance because their scores are compared to all other sectional scores within the state and only the top three scores advance to the Team Championship level. Jaidon’s family was notified by an MLB representative that his score was in the top three overall at sectionals and he was invited to attend the Team Championships in Chicago along with free tickets to the Chicago White Sox game on Saturday. On June 11, the T e a m Championships took

place at all MLB ballparks. The top three scores in the country, in each age group, will advance to the National Finals in San Diego, Calif., at the MLB All Star game on July 12. Approximately 650,000 children joined the competition this year and only three from each age group will make it to the All Star game. Jaidon said he is hopeful to score well enough in Chicago to advance to the national finals, but realizes the competition is very tough as only a few hundred kids are left.

While July 4th is synonymous with American independence, one of the United States' founding fathers felt that July 2nd was a more appropriate date to celebrate the colonies' declaration of independence from Great Britain. John Adams, who would serve as the second President of the United States, felt July 2nd was the correct date to celebrate the colonies' independence and even protested July 4th by refusing invitations to appear at events on that day during his lifetime. Adams' contention dates back to June 7, 1776, when Richard Henry Lee, the Virginia delegate of the Continental Congress, first introduced a motion calling for the colonies to

declare their independence. Voting on Lee's motion was postponed, though a fiveman committee consisting of Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Robert R. Livingston, and Roger Sherman was appointed to draft a statement justifying independence from Great Britain. Lee's motion was approved on July 2nd, and Adams even wrote hiswife, Abigail, that the day would be celebrated as the anniversary of the colonies' independence for many years to come. But that was not to be, as American independence is instead celebrated on July 4th, the day when the Continential Congress formally adopted the Declaration of Independence.
