Opening of school going well, officials say By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com
Road construction didn’t halt Wabash County youths’ first day of school on Wednesday, Aug. 9, though it did prove to be an obstacle. In Wabash County, south State Road 15 is limited to one-lane travel between Wabash and Marion whereas the roadway is blocked off for several miles on north State Road 15. Construction on North Wabash Street also limited travel to a northbound lane. With the road repairs nowhere close to completion, schools, bus drivers, students and parents had to be prepared with alternate routes prior to Wednesday, according to Mike Keaffaber, MSD of Wabash County superintendent. “Although there was a lot of construction, people knew about it, planned ahead and the first few days of school, we obviously give ourselves more time,” Keaffaber told The Paper of Wabash County. “So it really went fairly well with all of that construction. “I’m not sure what would be the largest obstacle. Obviously, wherever we go—all the way south to the county line and we go to State Road 16—we run into a lot of different construction. … I know that on south of town, the very first day of school they began working at the intersection of State Road 124 and State (continued on page 4)

Nation’s first-ever fish ladder being placed at Stockdale Dam By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com STOCKDALE – A fish ladder, the first of its kind in the United States, is being installed this week at the Stockdale Dam. Work on the project began on Monday, Aug. 14, and is expected to continue through at least Thursday.
The prototype fish ladder is designed to allow fish as small as 3 inches to navigate around the dam, according to Manchester University Professor Jerry Sweeten. Dr. Boyd Kynard, an internationally respected migratory fish biologist, developed the ladder and is on site to help with its installation. “What fish ladders do is take away the
problem of putting a dam in the river does to fish,” he told The Paper of Wabash County. “What dams do to fish is that they segment the population of fish. So now you have populations of fish that live above the dam, and if they move downstream of the dam, which they often do, then they can’t get back up. So you don’t have an integrated pop(continued on page 26)
Quilting group seeking names of veterans By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com
The Quilt of Honor Quilters are searching for more veterans to commemorate and thank on Friday, Nov. 10, the day before Veterans Day. Since 2012, the group, which consists of 12 Wabash County women, crafts personalized quilts to honor local veterans for their service each year in time for Veterans Day. This year, more than 120 veterans have signed up to receive a quilt at the Quilts of Honor presentation ceremony on Nov.
10, but the group is still asking for more, Chairman Lois VanMeter told The Paper of Wabash County. “We, unfortunately, see in the obituaries that we have missed veterans and that hurts us,” she said. “That’s painful. So we are striving every year to find more and more veterans to honor for their service. That’s the whole point.” Depending on the pattern’s difficulty, quilts can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks to complete, according to VanMeter. The idea for the group began at the Woman’s Clubhouse in 2012 when the
facility hosted a servicemen’s luncheon for Veterans Day. “I thought, ‘Well this is so close to Veterans Day, we need to honor them,’” VanMeter said. “So being a quilter, I went to my quilters guild and asked them if they would like to honor (the veterans) and we chose one specific pattern that year and made that pattern for them and it just grew from there. “We thought that this was worth doing every year, so that’s what we’ve done. It helps us use our talent. We’re quilters who love to quilt.” All of the fabric and all of the group’s
quilters’ time are voluntary supplied, she added. Since then, the group has honored 120 veterans and continued to “work its way through each war” to commemorate the servicemen that put their lives on the line during those times of turmoil, she continued. “This year we’re on Vietnam and those guys were not treated nicely,” she said, “and we want them to know that we appreciate their service.” Although the group shows appreciation to veterans that served in different (continued on page 5)

Park Department to survey public By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Sometime over the next few weeks, random Wabash residents will receive a survey asked about the Wabash Park Department and its various properties. The survey is part of the procedure in updating the department’s Master Plan. The plan is updated every five years, Park Superintendent Adam Hall told The Paper of Wabash County. As part of the update, two surveys are taken. One survey is a stakeholder survey,
in which select members of the public are invited to one of several discussions on the park department. The other is a mail survey in which about 1,000 randomly selected residents are surveyed about the department. The stakeholder meetings – seven in all – were recently completed, Hall told the Wabash Park Board when it met on Wednesday, Aug. 9. Participating were members of the City of Wabash staff, partners, volunteers, constituents and community leaders. They were asked, among other things,
to share their impressions of Wabash Parks and Recreations as a whole, their impressions of the department’s facilities, its programs and what the department should focus on in the future. Participants praised the department and its employees for the work they do. They noted that Paradise Spring is beautiful, and also applauded the recent update of equipment at Hanna Park. The disc golf facilities at Wabash City Park also received high marks. However, they noted some areas that could be improved. For example, several participants said the parks should have more for
teens to do. It also could include a variety of activities for diverse groups of people, respondents told officials from the Eppley Institute, which conducted the meeting. Better lighting is needed along the Wabash Riverwalk, they also noted, and better marketing is needed to show such things as when the parks are open. Accessibility and the all-inclusive park are areas that the city and the department should focus on in the future, respondents said. “Although stakeholders understand the limitation of existing staff and funding, they also state the need for Wabash Parks and Recreation to be a leader in establish-
ing the City of Wabash as a destination, one which would make the city a destination for visitors and also for desirable destination for professionals relocating for the
work,” the summary noted. During its meeting, the park board reviewed sample questions, suggesting several changes to the survey. The board also
approved a request for additional signage at Paradise Spring, which will be paid for and maintained by the Paradise Spring Historical Park board.
IEDC approves funding for Eagles Theatre By The Paper staff INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana E c o n o m i c D eve l o p m e n t Corporation (IEDC) has approved Regional Cities Initiative funding to support the contin-
ued revitalization of Eagles Theatre in downtown Wabash and the construction of the Strawberry Valley Cultural Trail in Ligonier. The Eagles Theatre funding is $976,636 of the total cost of $4.98 million renovation project. “As Indiana’s unemployment rate keeps dropping, it is important that we continue our focus on attracting talent to our state,” said IEDC President Elaine Bedel. “The Indiana Regional Cities Initiative is helping transform communities across the state, creating nationally-recognized destinations to live, work and play. The transformational renovation of Eagles Theatre and the construction of the Strawberry Valley Cultural Trail will enhance the region’s arts, culture and recreation, supporting northeast Indiana’s vision of attaining one million Hoosiers residents by 2020.” Originally built in 1906, the Eagles Theatre, located at 106 W. Market St. in Wabash, first opened as a touring spot for vaudeville productions and transitioned to a movie theatre that provided entertainment and world and national news through the use of news reels, especially during World War II. Today, the theatre is used to show movies and live events. This project would increase the theatre’s lobby space, open up the backstage to better accommodate live acts and re-open the
second balcony to add two suites, increasing the theatre’s capacity from 440 patrons to 550. Improvements will be made to the basement that include reviving the dressing rooms and storage areas, supporting live events and adding a 45-seat theater featuring stateof-the-art sound. The basement improvements will also include updating three rooms for music lessons, giving students in the region additional opportunities to take music, voice and instrument lessons. Plans also include restoring the handpainted ceilings and central dome of the grand ballroom on the fourth floor into a premier space to host events, which could seat up to 200 people. This project will allow the theatre to expand its live program offerings, drawing visitors from around the region. Renovations of the historic building, which will continue to support the region’s arts and culture organizations, are expected to begin in late 2017 and be completed in 2019. “We are thrilled to receive this funding. This project will greatly enhance the quality of place initiatives outlined through the Road to One Million plan. We applaud the Indiana E c o n o m i c D eve l o p m e n t Corporation for investing in the Regional Cities initiative,” said Tod Minnich, chief executive officer of the H o n e y w e l l Foundation.

Lake flooding concerns property owner By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com
Frank Nordman first fished in McColley Lake when he was about 14-yearsold. Nordman, who will turn 80 in a few weeks, still fishes the lake. But, he said, the sites beauty has drastically changed in the last five years. Once vibrant maple trees that surrounded the lake now stand barren, resembling trees one might see in a haunted forest. The trees, for all intents and purposes, have drown, victims of rising water at the lake. A few willow and sycamore trees, were able to withstand the high water. Nordman and Dave Williams, one of the property owners on the lake, say a drain to the west of the 28-acre site is draining the water inadequately. “The flooding at the lake started, my guess, is around 2013,” Williams told

Photo provided The Paper of Wabash County in a telephone interview from his home in Crown Point. “The lake runs east and west, and on the west end there’s an over flow that the lake always drained into when we get a lot of severe rain down there. “There’s a pipe that goes from that west end and it drains into Lukens Lake.” One reason for the drainage problem, he
NORTH MANCHESTER — At the M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools board meeting on Tuesday, August 8, 2017, James Bishir was approved to be the new Manchester Jr-Sr High School Assistant Principal. Mr. Bishir is replacing Mr. Chad Cripe who took an administrative position at Tippecanoe Valley Schools. Bishir has served as a “Project Lead the Way Teacher” in the Peru Community Schools for the past three years. Previously, he worked as a School T e c h n o l o g y Coordinator at Scenic Heights Elementary in Pensacola, Florida and as a science teacher at Woodham Middle School in Pensacola. Florida. While at Woodham, Bishir was named “S.T.E.M. Teacher of the Year” by the Air Force. In extracurricular activities, Bishir has coached basketball and soccer and has spent time volunteering for Boy Scouts and International Student Exchange. Educational ly, Bishir earned his
But since the lake property isn’t his primary residence, he isn’t able to check it on a regular basis.

a problem exists. She did acknowledge that the property owners around the lake do pay a ditch tax. But, she added, it isn’t enough. Before the county has a hearing to possibly increase the tax, Slee said, she would like the situation to be rectified.

But, he quickly added, there could be other reasons. “I never really noticed beavers in that lake until 2013 or 2014, and that’s when the flooding started to happen,” Williams said. “I don’t know if the beavers were damming up the mouth of the pipe.” He said he would try to clean out the pipe when he could.

During one such visit, she said, a grate was placed in front of the overflow pipe to help prevent animals from entering the pipe to build dams. However, debris from the lake often clogs the grates, and that doesn’t allow the water to flow properly. The main problem, Slee said, is that property owners failed to notify her department on a timely basis. If there is a problem,

Manchester Jr-Sr High School principal, Dr. Jon Lippe praised Bishir. “The hiring committee was very impressed with his enthusiasm and passion for education, as well as his 15 years of teaching experience in the classroom,” Lippe said. Bishir and his wife, Rebecca, have three children. Originally from Wabash County, Bishir said he and his family are happy to be back in Indiana. “Many people question why I moved back to Indiana after living the beach life in Florida,” he said. “All I can say is there is something special about raising children in a small town, and Wabash County is a great place to grow kids. Also, I want everyone to know that I’m extremely excited about becoming part of a great school system and community here in North Manchester.”

Opening of school going well: officials say ...continued from the front page Road 15. That probably was the most congested just because they just started that that day at that location and we didn’t know that (ahead of time), but other than that it did go very smoothly.” For Wabash City Schools, O.J. N e i g h b o u r s Elementary School’s arrival and dismissal procedures had to be altered entirely. The facility’s front drive was converted from a one-way into a two-
way street, a drop-off zone was added at the main entrance and buses were required to drop youths off on the side of the building. “Thanks to the help of the City of Wabash to include Mayor (Scott Long), (Wabash City Police) Chief (Matthew) Bruss, Wabash City Street Department, our transportation director Rhonda Daniel, and the patience and understanding of parents, the first few days
have gone very well,” Jason Callahan, WCS superintendent, said. “In fact, we plan to maintain a few of our changes even after the construction has ended.” Setting construction aside, both the MSD and WCS superintendents agreed that the first days of school are going smoothly. This year, both school corporations utilized online registration, with this being the first year for WCS and the third year for MSD. “From the feedback we have received, parents were pleased with the convenience that technology provides,” Callahan said. Keaffaber told his board on Monday, Aug. 7, that registration was higher than expected prior to the first day of school this year. “Typically whether we have online or onsite registration, normally before school starts a 70 percent is … a good number even before we start school,” Keaffaber said, “and so I’m happy to say that we’re over 90 percent registered … which is more compared to the

Quilting group seeking names of veterans ...continued from the front page wars each year, VanMeter said that several quilts are held aside in case a serviceman from a prior war had not received one yet. “Any one that we have missed, they will definitely get a quilt,” she said. “There were some last year from World War II still and we still honored them. We know the Gulf War is coming next and so we want to make sure that they know their service is appreciated and that they are honored for their service. “We also will honor those that have received quilts before with something,” she later added. “No one is left out. Their name will be called. They will honored and be specifically asked to come up front and given whatever we choose to that year. So (the presentation luncheon) is for all veterans to be honored.” The Quilts of Honor presentation ceremo-

August 16, 2017
THE ROANN COVERED BRIDGE Lions Club met on August 3 at the town hall for its monthly meeting. President Rick welcomed everyone and let the members to the pledge of allegiance to the American flag. In old business, Dewayne Krom reported that the July 1 tractor pull was a huge success, and they received
many compliments. They were told by several of the tractor pullers that the track was the best track they had ever pulled on. This is a great way to bring people into our community and the Lions Club is thankful to all who put their time, as well as the use of their machinery, into making the track what it
has become. We have also had many donations both monetary and material that have been donated. Thanks to all. Pam Woodall reported on the can recycling project is still going well. She is keeping busy with taking the cans to be recycled. The recycling bins in Roann will be moved to more visible locations during the festi-
val since the center stage will block that collection area. Look for the collections sites at the festival and remember this will help to pay for next year’s fireworks. Keith Ford reported that the new sign at the intersection of state roads 15 and 16 will be installed on Aug. 14, weather permitting. The Lions club will assist in this installation. The new signs with the Lions Club logo have been ordered and should arrive in two weeks. They will be placed on State Road 16 at the east and west side of Roann. It was brought to the attention at the Roann Town board meeting that there were a few things on the log cabin and jail that may need to be repaired. Since the Lions Club maintains the building they will plan a work day for this CALLING ALL PRIOR ROANN Prince/Princess and King/ Queens from the past 100 years; we want anyone who was either a Prince/Princess or King/Queen for the Roann Festival to show up on Thursday, Sept. 7, 2017.

Travel writers to visit Wabash County By The Paper staff The purpose of a FAM Tour, short for Familiarization Tour, is to introduce travel writers and tour operators to the rich history and attractions Wabash County has to offer. Travel writers and tour operators participating in the tour will be traveling from Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Kentucky, and the Indianapolis area to experience Wabash County historic landmarks, behind the scenes artisanal attractions, local dining, a mainstage show at the Honeywell Center, and much more. They will also have the opportunity to choose between two different tour tracks that are specific in
design, and will take place on Saturday. The tour track options consist of the Historic Sites and Garden Tour and the Urban Artisanal Walking Tour, depending on their areas of focus. Each tour will provide unique opportunities to help pitch the county to the select group of target influencers in hopes of selling the second experience. “FAM tours have proven to lead to return guest experiences,” said Howard Kaler, General Manager of Charley Creek Inn and the Board President of Visit Wabash County. “Charley Creek Inn recognizes the sound investment of partnering on this event and look forward to hosting a diverse
group of tourisminterested parties.” Travel writers/bloggers have a dedicated following via social media and independent websites. One of the travel writers participating during the August FAM tour has a reach of over 400,000 monthly followers while the others average an engagement of 100,000 to 200,000 people monthly. “Telling our “story” is vital to attracting an audience to Wabash County,” said Christine Flohr, executive director of tourism for Visit Wabash County, “Hosting an event like this will generate an exponential amount of publicity and will allow us to leverage our marketing reach to another target market.”

Lagro to celebrate infrastructure improvements By The Paper staff LAGRO – Following historic investments
in Indiana’s infrastructure, Lagro is celebrating the grand re-opening of Canal Street, Main Street
and Webster Street. The Lagro Town Council will join Sen. Andy Zay, a representative from
Cong resswoman Jackie Walorski’s Office and other community leaders 1 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 15, to
commemorate the project. The event will take place at Canal Street in Lagro. The work included
Remembering a Major General: The funeral procession for Maj. Gen. David Harris (Ret.) made its way along Falls Avenue on Saturday afternoon, en route to Falls Cemetery from the First United Methodist Church in Wabash. A Wabash County native, Maj. Gen. Harris, 62, passed away Aug. 2 at Parkview Regional Medical Center in Fort Wayne. During his career he served in many positions, including Chief of Staff of NATO Forces in Kosovo from 2009-10. His funeral was a full military event, with a marching band playing Chopin’s “Funeral March,” a horse drawn carriage which carried the casket, and a riderless horse. A 21-gun salute featuring artillery cannons was part of the ceremony at the cemetery. Photos by Joseph Slacian
resurfacing from Blue Star Highway to Washington Street; Main Street and west to Buchanan Street; 1400 Main Street to Lagro town limits; and George Street to Harriet Street. The improvements were made possible through new funding provided by the Indiana General Assembly. In 2016, state lawmakers created the Community Crossings grant program. During its inaugural year, the program provided nearly $86 million in road funding to Indiana’s cities and towns. Locally, Lagro received $22,782.50. This year lawmakers strengthened C o m m u n i t y Crossings and ensured local governments would see continued increases in road funding well into the future. Lagro officials would like to thank the General Assembly and Gov. Eric Holcomb for sup-
porting the comprehensive, long-term plan. The funding is vital to Lagro because it allowed the town to revitalize major travel arteries in the small community. “We our thankful for the opportunity to apply and receive grant money from INDOT’s Community Crossing Grant. With the town’s match, we spent $45,565 on resurfacing this year which would not have been possible without our lawmakers and their endeavors,” Lagro Clerk-Treasurer Kristie Bone said. “Knowing that local communities are taking advantage of the C o m m u n i t y Crossings Grant Program is great news,” Zay said. “Improving Lagro’s roads is an important investment in the community and will make traveling easier and more enjoyable for residents.”

Manchester wins golf title By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com NORTH MANCHESTER -With the top four individual scores, Manchester cruised to claim the 2017 Wabash County Tournament championship at Sycamore Golf Club near North Manchester Saturday morning. The Squires won the team title with a score of 377, followed by Northfield with a 409, and Wabash with a 451. Southwood only had two golfers and couldn’t turn in a
team score. Manchester’s Kelsey Eichenauer and Madyson Ulrey each shot 93, followed by Lydia Little with a 95, and Samantha Kissell with a 96. Southwood’s Katie Springer rounded out the top five with a 97. Finishing sixth and seventh, respectively, were Northfield’s Braelyn Deeter with a 98 and Chelsea George with a 99. Bella Carrillo from Wabash tied for seventh with a 99,
while Northfield’s Anna Driscoll was ninth with a 104, and Wabash’s Halle Miller was 10th with a 107.

Triplett wins tennis tourneys By The Paper staff
Isaac Triplett, Wabash resident and professional tennis instructor, captured back to back titles on consecutive weekends. At the Hot Dog Doubles Tennis Tournament in Frankfort on July 28-30, he and doubles partner Steve Minner, of Carmel, took the men’s 45 and over doubles title. “It was tricky playing in the championship match since I was playing with a fellow tennis pro and friend of over 30 years. Steve and I met over 30 years ago at a tennis tournament and
have been friends ever since. I just wanted to play well for a good friend and that can put extra pressure on you. Tennis is truly the sport for a life time,” Triplett said. Then at the Kokomo Wildkat Tennis Championships Triplett took the 35 and over singles division title. “I have learned to listen to my body more now, at my age it’s more about managing injuries than practicing too much,” Triplett said. The Kokomo tournament was Aug. 4-6.

THE PAPER
www.thepaperofwabash.com
August 16, 2017
VIEWPOINT The ‘shoot the messenger’ mentality For months now, proponents of the Wabash River Trail have taken a “shoot the messanger” approach to media coverage of their plans. It seems that if one doesn’t buy into their plans hook, line and sinker, then they are dead set against their dream of creating a 33-mile bicycle path across Wabash County. What they may not understand -- or probably do understand, but don’t like -is that to do its job properly the media must present both sides of a story. Good and bad must be told or, in the case of the WRT, pro and con. The point was brought to light, once again, by Lagro Town Board member Jim Curless, who was critical of media coverage, specifically coverage in The Paper of Wabash County, during a Wabash County Plan Commission meeting earlier this month. Criticism of news coverage is nothing new; nor is the snickers of proponents trying to get a rise out of media representatives. We have written stories about the WRT for more than one year. We will continue to write about it until the trail is completed, abandoned, or plans are changed. We strive to get the facts and present both sides of a story. That is at times dif-
OUR VIEW ficult to do when only one side is willing to speak about issues. We have never been critical of the boat ramp in Lagro, nor of the plans for a pavilion to be located in the downtown area. In fact, we have said that the pavilion, complete with bathroom facilities, would be a boost for the community. What we have been critical of, and rightly so, is the way in which WRT has gone about refurbishing the boat ramp and creating a pedestrian bridge over the Lagro Creek. Work at both sites was started without the proper permits received from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. The WRT, after work on the ramp was complete, received an after-thefact permit. The same holds true for the permit for the pedestrian bridge. The group wasn’t fined performing the work without proper permits, and we’ve never been able to find out from the DNR why that is so. We’re sure if the average citizen would attempt to do something without proper permitting, the DNR would come down hard and heavy on them.
Could it be that a push to create trail systems throughout the state has blinded DNR officials to the fact the work was done improperly? We’d like to think that isn’t the case, but with the agency being mum on the matter, we’ll never know. WRT proponents could be upset that we have reported these things, but they shouldn’t. As we noted earlier, they should be upset at those in charge for any number of things, the least of which is keeping the public informed of their plans with regular updates. We also find it funny that Mr. Curless is critical of those outside of Lagro taking an interest in the trail and what is happening in that community. “If they’ve got interest in Lagro, fine,” he said at the aforementioned Wabash County Plan Commission meeting. “If they don’t, then leave us alone.” We must wonder, if and when the trail is complete, the pavilion is built, and buildings downtown are refurbished and new business is attracted to the town (as other plans to revitalize the downtown area call for), will he have the attitude, that those outside of Lagro should have no interest in what is going on there? We doubt it.

MSD discusses 2018 General Fund budget By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com
The MSD of Wabash County Board of Education continued
its 2018 budget discussions Monday, Aug. 7, with review of the
preliminary drafts of the General Fund appropriation. Chris Kuhn, MSD assistant superintendent of finance, told the board that he would advertise a $15,634,900 General Fund. “It is in much, much better shape than it was in the past,” he explained, comparing the fund to it three years ago. “I’d like to add that it could be a lot worse,” Kevin Bowman, board president, said, “but I’m proud of what we did because we were proactive.” For 2017 following the Indiana Department of Local
G o v e r n m e n t Finance’s budget cut notice, the board allotted for a $14,589,985 General Fund and spent approximately $13,900,000, according to Kuhn. Kuhn said he anticipates the 2018 figures to be cut as well. “After they determine what our revenue amounts will be that we give them, they’ll determine what our appropriations are based off of that,” he explained. At the board’s next meeting on Aug. 22, “we’ll talk about Form 3, which shows all of (the budget’s funds’) advertisements, and we’ll talk a little bit
about tax rates then too and then it’s time for our budget hearing,” he later added. In other news, the board unanimously approved an application to request an additional appropriation of $11,770 for the Debt Service Fund to cover payments for the general obligation bond. “So the (initial) appropriations tell us what we’re allowed to spend,” Kuhn explained. “We may have more money in
that account or fund to spend, but if they only give us so much, they tell us … we can’t exceed that without additional requests.” In other news, Kuhn advised the board that the Southwood High School portion of the sewer line project has been completed and the Southwood Elementary School well was updated. Metro North Elementary School’s roof should also be finished by the end of August.

ed the third annual 4x4 Phone Photo Contest on Friday, Aug. 4, and named six individuals as winners.
Three years ago, BBG co-owner Diane Morris created the contest after being inspired by social media.
“I had seen on Facebook and Instagram these really creative pictures,” Morris told The Paper of Wabash County, “and I thought, ‘How creative,’ and I wanted to host a contest to represent and encourage what I was seeing. It’s fun to have it in the (4-inch by 4-inch) format.” To enter the contest, photographers could only enter a 4inch by 4-inch photo that was taken with a cellphone. The contest received more than 120 entries in three adult categories, People/Animal,
Diane Morris, co-owner of Borders and Beyond, (back row) presented three individuals with certificates and cash prizes for their winning entries in the 2017 4x4 Phone Photo Contest.

Photo by Emma Rausch Place/Scenic and Object, and one 16years-old and younger division. In the morning of Aug. 4, three independent judges selected one winning photo from each category to award with a cash prize and certificate. During First Friday in downtown Wabash, approximately 55 individuals voted on their favorite photos for the People’s Choice
awards, two certificates for the winning adult and youngster. The judges selected Stacy Denton’s photo for the People/Animal category, Melissa Cardwell’s entry for the Place/Scenic contest and Emily Bahney for the Object group. Each of the contestants was awarded $50. Allie Pinkerton won $25 for her entry in the 16-years-old
and younger category. Voters chose Bailey Hobbs’ and Ezra Church’s photos as the winners of the People’s Choice awards. The photos will be on display for the next couple of weeks in the Borders and Beyond Gallery for those who missed First Friday to come and see, according to Morris.

He was the youngest of four children born to Clark and Pearl Tyner. Howard was married to his wife of 48 years, Delight Suddarth Tyner, who passed away April 2, 1993. Howard and Delight had one son, Terry Lee Tyner, who died May 4, 1950.

Additionally, he is survived by 7 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, seven great-great-grandchildren. They will all miss him dearly. Howard graduated from Somerset High School and joined the Army shortly after graduation, serving his country in World War II. He later studied for the pastorate at Marion College (now Indiana Wesleyan University). Following college, he attended Seminary in Chicago, Ill. After returning home from the service, he returned to farm life for many years until he gave his life to Christ and felt a call to the ministry. Howard devoted his life to serving Christ as a pastor in the Methodist Church. He pastored many churches in Northeastern Indiana. His churches were in the towns of Roann, Peoria, Fulton, Santa Fe, Amboy, South Milford, Pleasant Lake, Geneva, Bourbon, Muncie, Kendallville, Elwood, Cassville, and Michigantown. His passion and desire was that all might know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. His faith and trust in Christ was evident in his love and sacrifice for his congregations, community and family. He was always willing to lend a hand or give an encouraging word. The farmer in him never left. He was an avid gardener and he would often lend a hand to the farmers in his church. Howard was also well known for his sense of humor. He loved to put a smile on people’s face. There was never a moment that he wasn’t trying to think of something funny to say or do. He truly loved to pull a funny prank on friends and family. Howard never missed watching a ball game if he could help it. IU, Pacers, Colts were his favorite sports teams, although he loved watching them all. After retiring, he and Delight developed a love for crafts and craft festivals. He would go with his wife and three daughters. He loved to use his wood working tools make his crafts and had a flair for painting his figurines and wall hangings.

‘Perfect weather’ brings high attendance to 46th annual FunFest By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com
After months of planning, organizing and preparing, the 46th annual FunFest by the River is over. The five-day festival provided hours of entertainment for attendees starting Wednesday, Aug. 9, through Sunday, Aug. 13. “It was pretty amazing, in a lot of different ways,” Debra Pyrah, North Manchester Chamber of Commerce executive director, said. “The help, the people that supported each other, encouraged each other, worked alongside each other. … Everybody was just there for everybody, as far as setting up and taking down, and that was very impressive.” Events kicked off Wednesday, Aug. 9, with a bicycle parade and picnic on Market Street, ending with a concert featuring the

The Center for History opened its doors at 10 a.m. with free admission, while the American Legion Motorcycle Show and Eel River Cruizers Car Show filled downtown with polished vehicles throughout the afternoon and evening. The Firehouse kicked off Friday’s music with rock music from Road Dog, followed by Dakota Parker’s country tunes. Returning for its second year at FunFest, Visit Wabash County’s Trolley No. 85 gave free rides around North Manchester throughout the day. The evening ended with a concert featuring an area favorite, the Wabatucky Shooters. Sunny skies and a high in the upper 70s brought large crowds to downtown North Manchester all day Saturday. “I think attendance was way up,” Erica Garber, FunFest committee co-chair, said. “The weather was beautiful the whole time; I think we had a great count all the nights, but especially Friday and Saturday. For the tractor show, we had way more people downtown during the day than we have had in the past on

A new event for this year, the FunFest Tractor Show featuring Echoes of the Past Tractor Club lined Main Street with Farmall, John Deere, Allis-Chalmers and Minneapolis Moline tractors from the 1930s-present, as well as some garden tractors and a homemade tractor called “Ernie”. “The tractor show had a great turnout... they all stuck around and joined in the parade. It was really neat to see them all go past, in case you did-
n’t make it down to the tractor show in the morning,” Garber said. A d d i t i o n a l Saturday events included the annual Nick Winters Memorial Bench Press, Trolley No. 85 tours of POET Biorefining, the Bellwood Canoe Race and the Car-toons Parade. The parade was nearly double the length of the 2016 parade and included local emergency personnel and businesses, Manchester High School athletes, political candidates and a variety of other entries. “We had a large attendance from the Shriners, which was really great,” Garber
said. “Shriners from across the state came… all the tractors were invited to join in, and that was really neat to see. I think all but two or three of the tractors in the show joined in.” The night ended with a concert featuring the Zach Day, and the drawing of for the winner of the 50/50 raffle. The raffle winner, Anne Gregory, won nearly $7,000. Overall, Chamber representatives described the event as a success. “I thought it was a lot of fun, and it seems like everybody had a good time,” Pyrah said. “We were really blessed by the good weather.”

THE WEEKLY ISAAC-ISM: “If you have been around me on the tennis court you may have over heard me say: ‘be professional!’ A professional is more than someone who accepts money for what they do. Being professional is to embody the positive attitudes, characteristics and behaviors of someone successful in not only tennis but life. To be professional is to understand what is most important is your character; to do the right or appropriate things all the time; be highly engaged in practice, be an excellent practice partner; hustle for every ball and stay focused on getting better; not avoiding areas of weakness, instead working on them diligently to improve; do not make excuses, instead accept that you are not perfect and mistakes happen; respond to stress and adversity with respect and good sportsmanship. Being professional relates to many different things, but starts with a mentality of doing the right thing even when no one is watching you and there is temptation to be unprofessional. My advice; be professional in all you do!” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe enjoyable week!

26 Nation’s first-ever fish ladder being placed at Stockdale Dam

ulation that’s able to go to its wintering areas, its spawning areas, its foraging areas, like they have evolved for the last 12,000 years to do that.” The problem, he said, may not be readily noticeable to humans. “We live 70 years,” Kynard said, “and you may find no difference to the popula-
tion in those 70 years. But take it out 100 years, 200 years, 300 years, what fish ladders will do is restore that conductivity of fish. It will enable them to restore the migration cycles like they’ve evolved.” The ladder, which is made of painted steel, will be located on land and will be encased in concrete to prevent erosion.
Water will come into the fish ladder through an entrance just south of the dam. It will flow through and come out to the north of the dam. “The trick of fish passage is to put that entrance downstream of the dam to attract the fish that are coming upstream, to put it in the right space so they will find it,” Kynard said. “If they are migratory, they will be able to move up the ladder and be able to move into the reservoir upstream of the dam.” The flow of the river helps to entice the fish into the ladder, he explained. “Migratory fish that want to go upstream are attracted to velocity,” he said. “We did a lot of study of water velocity below the dam, and it’s just perfect for this application. “At low flow and at moderate flow, which is what this ladder will operate at, this area has a big eddy (current). The water,
Jerry Sweeten (from left), Brian Kynard, Dr. Boyd Kynard and Martin Duffy pose for a photo at the site of the fish ladder at the Stockdale Dame. Photo by Joseph Slacian coming out of the ladder, will provide a very easy to detect velocity for these fish.” The Stockdale Dam was selected, Kynard said, because many dams along the Eel River are being removed. “This dam, because of its importance to the Stockdale Mill, was not on a list to be taken down. So, here
you are, you’re taking down dams all along the river, except for one dam. Unfortunately, segmentation of population, one dam is all you need. This is to solve that problem of the biology of the river fish in here.” Kynard said it took about two years for his firm, B.K. Riverfish, to develop the ladder. It is being
installed through a $150,000 grant Sweeten received from the Ohio River Basin Habitat Partnership through the Fish and Wildlife Service. Ron McColley, president of the Stockdale Mill Foundation Board of Directors, was among those from the board watching work at the site Monday
morning. He sees it as a plus for both the environment and the Stockdale Mill itself. “It will bring visitors here,” he said. “They’ll drive in here to see the fish ladder, and maybe they’ll say, ‘Well, we want to go over to the mill.’ “We don’t charge to tour the mill, but we’ll be more than happy to take donations.”
State-endangered trumpeter swans reproducing From the DNR A pair of endangered trumpeter swans have successfully hatched an offspring in Indiana for the first time since modern birdwatching records have been kept. The swan family is in northeastern Indiana’s Steuben County. Before 2017, sightings of trumpeter swan families in Indiana had been limited to winter, with the birds breeding in other states. Trumpeter swans
have been successfully reintroduced in Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin, and in Ontario, Canada. With breeding birds in nearby states, the natural range expansion back into Indiana was expected, according to Adam Phelps, waterfowl biologist with the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife “It’s a great success story that we have habitat that trumpeter swans need to breed,” Phelps said. “With any luck, this pair will return next

year to successfully hatch more cygnets (young swans).” Trumpeter swans lay an average of four or five eggs per clutch. The existence of only one cygnet may indicate that predators ate other eggs or other cygnets. “It may also be that this female only successfully hatched one egg this year,” Phelps said. Trumpeter swans tend to return to their territories each year, and females tend to return to the site where they were hatched.

Trumpeter swans are one of two native swan species in North America. The other is the tundra swan. The exotic and destructive mute swan is also present in Indiana. Trumpeter and tundra swans can be distinguished from mute swans because they have a mostly black or all-black bill, whereas adult mute swans have a bright orange bill. Also, mute swans have a large black knob at the base of the bill that native swans lack. However, juvenile swans are more difficult to identify, because the orange coloration and black knob on the bill have not yet developed. By fall, juvenile mute swans have much lighter-colored bills than trumpeters of the same age. Research of endangered species in Indiana is conducted by the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife’s Wildlife Diversity Staff, which is funded primarily through

Growing In-Demand Soybeans Can Boost Profitability for Farmers ST. LOUIS –The farm economy has been in a holding pattern for years now, and managing for the future is more important than ever. On his family farm in the Shenandoah Valley, Marty Kable has had to make some tough decisions. This year, he, along with farmers in 12 states around the U.S., planted high oleic soybeans to increase his profit potential. In total, U.S. soybean farmers planted 650,000 acres of the premium soy-
beans this year. Kable has actually increased acreage for High Horizons Farm, Inc., on the eastern tip of West Virginia, through careful management and support from his team – his wife and two sons who join him on the operation as well as experts like his agronomist, Bob Chandler. When margins are tight, farmers start to look toward cutting costs to make ends meet, but Kable takes a different approach.
“You can’t cut too many costs or you start reducing your crop’s performance,” he said. “We’re doing everything we can, from seed selection to inputs, to produce the best yield on any given acre.” And this year, Kable’s seed decision made a big market impact. “Counting the double-crop that will be going in behind wheat, we’ll have a total of 2,376 acres of high oleic soybeans,” Kable said. “There was a lot of interest in the

ag community around me, and we tested the varieties on our land last year. We saw yield that was as good as – even better than – anything else we planted, so the results were encouraging to grow more this year.” Kable’s agronomist, Bob Chandler, agrees. “I also sell seed for several thousand acres of soybeans in this area. More than half of those acres are in high oleic varieties this year,” he said. What’s so attractive about high oleic soybeans?
Beyond the competitive yield, Kable said he likes growing a product that has a defined market. His high oleic acres are contracted with Perdue AgriBusiness, which processes the soybeans for premium soybean oil used by restaurants, food companies and in nonfood applications because of its high-heat and shelf stability. End-use customers want more of the oil than processors have in stock, so they offer a premium for high

supply of high oleic soybean oil to meet end-user needs. “All our beans this year are high oleic,” Kable said, “due in part to the profit opportunity for our farm and for all soybean farmers. We like to stay up on anything new and exciting in the industry, and high oleic has real potential to add demand for U.S. soybean farmers.”

oleic soybeans to farmers who grow them. The biggest difference between growing high oleic and conventional soybeans, Kable said, is that farmers keep them separate to deliver them to the contracted processor – and that it comes with added profit. For farmers, high oleic soybeans help build longterm soybean oil demand. Growing high oleic takes some of the commodity soybean oil off the market, and replaces it with a growing

Richvalley Lions helps Miami County Fair Article provided Each year at the
Peru Circus Festival week, the Peru Lions Club partners with
the Richvalley Lions Club to operate the Lions tenderloin booth. The all-volunteer effort raises money to fund various community projects
throughout the year. This year, the Richvalley Lions Club teamed up with the Miami County 4H Fairboard to help cover their share of the work shifts.
When it was all over,
Richvalley
Lions donated a portion of the profits to the 4H Fairboard in appreciation
for
their help.

Did you know? Teachers provide many things to their students. In addition to an education, support and guidance, many teachers also feel compelled to enhance their classrooms with supplies theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve purchased out-of-pocket. According to a poll of 1,500 teachers conducted by the educational resource Edutopia, 93 percent of teachers feel obligated or somewhat obligated to buy school supplies for their classrooms with their own money. The Education Market Association says that virtually all teachers wind up paying out of pocket for supplies. The amounts spent annually can
be upwards of $1,000 per teacher. In addition, not all of the teachers funding supplies work in lowincome districts. A report published in early 2016 by the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities found that many states now provide less financial support per student than they did before the recession took hold roughly nine years ago. Districts forced to work under tight budgets are increasingly outsourcing the costs of supplies to parents. When parents fail to provide supplies, teachers are bearing the brunt of the costs to avoid seeing their students go without necessary resources.
