Hospital work on schedule By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Wabash Parkview Hospital’s construction project is on schedule, officials told The Paper of Wabash County. Ground was broken on June 30, and crews began actual construction around the first of August, Project Manager Adam Whitmer said. “It’s going well,” Parkview Wabash President Marilyn Custer-Mitchell added. “It looks like we’re pretty much on time. We didn’t have rain until we started moving dirt, then we had some rain. It looks like we’re pretty much on schedule.” The foundation walls are complete for the 80,000 square-foot facility, Whitmer said, and masonry blocks are starting to go up at the site, located

southwest of Wabash Street and U.S. 24. The walls visible at the site are for the back of the hospital, including the loading docks. “It’s where all the maintenance will be, the electrical room and so forth,” Whitmer said. Structural steel will begin arriving in mid-November. “The building won’t be fully erected until January,” Whitmer said. A topping off ceremony, which signifies the last steel beam being put in place, will be sometime in January, Project Superintendent Chad Fry said. Building a hospital is similar to any major building project, Whitmer said. “You have to start from the beginning, so you start with the civil design, site design, water elevations and all

that,” he said. “What’s the dirt look like? Are we going to have good enough dirt for foundations and bearing pressure of those items? Then you move into the structural design. Once you know how the structures going to be built, then you kind of pair that up with the architectural side. You know how much room you need, now how’s it going to work. Throughout that, then you guys go through planning spaces.” While this is Whitmer’s first hospital project he is overseeing, Fry served as project manager for the Parkview Whitley Hospital building project. “Parkview Whitley is just a little bit bigger,” Fry said. “I think there’s four or five rooms difference, maybe six. Basically the layout is not the same, but the general area, structural wise,

The Metropolitan School District of Wabash County will have a new look in January. Two new members – Gary Fadil and Todd Topliff – were elected to the board in the Tuesday, Nov. 8, election, as was incumbent Kevin Bowman. Topliff was elected to the MSD Northeast District, defeating incumbent John Gouviea III, 2,873-1,711, Topliff said he is looking forward to working on the board to make MSD the best district it can be, whether it involve consolidation, reconfiguration or remaining as it is. “I hope to get a running start on Jan. 1,” he said, noting that he hopes to meet with Superintendent Mike Keaffaber in the coming weeks to discuss a smooth transition onto the board. Gouveia, on the Wabash County Consolidation Facebook page, congratulated the three winners in the district. In the Northwest District, Fadil defeated Chad Watson, 7,833-4285. (continued on page 6)

Adam Whitmer was born at Wabash County Hospital. Now, more than 30 years later, he is tasked with an important job. Whitmer is serving as project manager in the construction of the new Parkview Wabash Hospital. “This is my first hospital,” Whitmer, who joined The Hagerman Group in February 2014, told The Paper of Wabash County.

Republicans dominated the 2016 General Election in Wabash County. In the lone locally contested race, Randy Curless, Philip Dale and Lorissa Sweet were elected to serve in the at-large seats on the Wabash County Council. The three defeated Democrat Donald Rose. Curless, an incumbent, received 8,641 votes. Sweet received 8,501, Dale 7,983 and Rose 3,866. Sweet contributes her success in the General Election to work she did prior to the May Primary Election. “We did work very hard,” she told The Paper of Wabash County. “We knocked on a lot of doors and we visited a lot of businesses. We covered a lot of ground and I think

Former Bulldog Battery CFO faces felony charges tied to racketeering $150,000 By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

A former Bulldog Battery company official is facing nine felony charges for allegedly taking approximately $150,000 from the company. Thomas A. Wagner, 59, Wabash, was

placed into the Wabash County Jail Monday, Nov. 7, for charges including three felony counts of theft, two counts insurance fraud, two counts conspiracy to commit insurance fraud and two counts corrupt business influence. Wagner acted as the company’s chief

financial officer (CFO) before he was “let go” in June, according to the Wabash Police Department’s probable cause affidavit. Following his termination, a company official discovered three wire transfers totaling $1,640 from Bulldog Battery to Brian Wagner,

*

Wagner’s son, in New York City, the court documents continued. The younger Wagner was not employed by the Wabash company and, therefore, there was no reason for the transfer, a Bulldog Battery official confirmed. After the discovery, the company conduct-

ed an internal investigation, according to the affidavit. During the investigation, officials discovered that on Nov. 25, 2016, while Wagner’s normal pay was $12,500 monthly, he had received $15,000, a $2,500 increase, the court documents continued. “(The company official) then advised that between Nov. 30, 2012, and June 30, 2015, Wagner received seven extra bonuses for a total of $70,000,” Detective E. John Krhin III wrote in the affidavit after speaking with the Bulldog Battery officials. The internal investigation also led officials to check the company’s credit card and insurance policies. “(The official) advised that his research shows that since 2011, Wagner charged $34,777 worth of personal expenses to the company (credit card),” Krhin wrote. “Since Wagner paid all the company bills, no one ever knew he was using the compa-

ny credit card for his personal expenses.” Expenses included a radio subscription for Wagner’s personal vehicle, airline tickets and to pay for expenses accrued at his family’s business, Curves, among other transactions, according to the affidavit. Curves closed in September due to finances, according to court records. While checking insurance policies, officials discovered Laura Wagner, Wagner’s daughter, was still on the company’s insurance despite being terminated from the company in April 2013, according to the affidavit. Ms. Wagner’s health benefits totaled to $34,145.06 from October 2013 to July 2016, the court documents continued. As of Aug. 30, Bulldog Battery officials estimated a total of $135,857.36 missing from the company’s accounts, according to the probable cause affidavit.

WAGNER

However, on Sept. 8 following an audit, Krhin received the company’s full accounting report. “The report totals the Unauthorized Disbursements by Wagner to be $150,017 from December 2007 until June 2016,” Krhin alleged in the affidavit. According to Krhin, the breakdown of the payments are as follows: • Unauthorized payroll, $77,377 • American Express Gold Card Account, $34,777 • American Express Corporate Card, $591 • Laura Wagner’s (continued on page 4)

Veterans honored with ‘Quilts of Valor’ By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

A dozen Wabash County women honored more than 50 veterans at the fourth annual Quilts of Valor presentation Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 9. In conjunction with the Woman’s Clubhouse, the Quilts of Valor quilters hosted a free veteran’s luncheon to honor Wabash County’s past servicemen. The group began several years ago during a lunch discussion for a yearly service project, according to Lois Vanmeter, quilter spokeswoman. “And I thought, ‘Well, why aren’t we honoring the veterans?’” Vanmeter said, “… and so, we decided we needed to honor those (that served), and being quilters, guess what we decided to do. (We) used our talents to make quilts.” In the group’s first year, the women presented quilts to those that served during World War II. This year, the quilters honored the Vietnam War veterans. “We found out that in the county we could identify 266 Vietnam veterans,” Vanmeter said, “and then more came on the list and we sent out more than 400 invitations. So there’s about a dozen of us in this quilting group and we were a little afraid that there’s no way we’re going to make 200 quilts or more. “So we decided to divide it alphabetically. … This year, we were going to honor those A though G, but we did not have enough sign up in that category so all the Vietnam veterans that are here today

Curt Campbell, a Vietnam War veteran, smiles as he receives a Quilt of Valor and is hugged in thanks for his service to the country. Photo by Emma Rausch will get a quilt.” This year, due to the size, the quilters also reached out to the community to ask for more crafting hands. “We put the word out to the community that we needed quilts,” Vanmeter said. “So the Quilters Guild in North Manchester made some, my neighbor made one, some other people volunteered to make quilts, so we came through with quite a few this year.”

CCS

Veterans of World War II, the Korean Conflict and Iraq were among others honored Wednesday. Due to the size of this year’s event, Vanmeter admitted the quilters had to ask sponsors to support the group’s cause. “With the number (of veterans) this year, we did for the first time ask for some financial support,” she said. Sponsors included Brandt’s Harley-

Davidson, Ford Meter Box, Get Nailed, Halderman Farm Service, Market Street Grill, Midwest Eye Consultants, Schlemmer Brothers and Wabash Valley Chrysler. “It’s expensive to have quilts quilted and, because of all these businesses, we were able to give every veteran a free lunch today,” Vanmeter said. “So we’re grateful to all of those businesses and we’re hoping they’ll help again next year.” Next year, the group will continue with its presentation of quilts to the Vietnam War veterans, but is always looking for

more veterans to honor as well. “We are grateful to all those that came today, but we know that there are a lot more veterans out there that have been presented a quilt,” Vanmeter said. “So we are continually taking that list.”

Hundreds gather to honor veterans how Veterans Day came about. It was created at 11 a.m. on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, when Germany signed the treaty ending World War I. Armistice Day, as it had been known, was renamed Veterans Day in 1954. “As a veteran of the United States Army myself … we veterans go about our daily jobs without much thought to our service in the Armed Forces,” he said. “Once a year we are reminded in November when Veterans Day is celebrated. “Veterans are around us every day,

Students from the Wabash Middle School were among the more than 300 people in attendance at the Wabash County Veterans Day ceremony at the Wabash County Courthouse. Those attending heard comments from the commanders of the Wabash American Legion and VFW posts, as well as remarks from Mayor Scott Long, and letters from Sen. Joe Donnelly and U.S. Rep. Jackie Walorski. Long, a U.S. Army veteran, spoke about

know the difference. “I didn’t know the struggles when you come home. I didn’t know the PTSD. I didn’t know the other issues, the physical ailments of running around a perfectly good track for 22 years.” He also noted that, for 35 years, young men faced the question of whether to be drafted or whether to enlist in the military. However, today the U.S. military is an all-voluntary organization. “What that means is we have the greatest military in the world, yet we’re an all voluntary service,” he continued. “We don’t have to make people join our service; they want to.” Daugherty also read the letter from Donnelly. “In Indiana we have over 500,000 veterans who represent our state, and to each of them we send our deepest appreciation,” he said. “This Veterans Day I urge you to take a moment to let the veterans in our lives and our communities know how much you appreci-

Burgess, Ayres win MCS Board seats By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com

NORTH MANCHESTER — Incumbent Brady Burgess and board newcomer Ruth Ayres have won their respective races for seats on the M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools Board of School Trustees. “It means a lot to me and my family that they put that much faith in me to represent them on the school board. That’s a very humbling honor,” Burgess said. “I don’t take that lightly, and I appreciate [the voters] voicing that at the polls today. I’m going to work my tail off for them.” “Thank you to the North Manchester community for the opportunity to serve as a member of the MCS school board,” Ayres said. “I’m looking forward to advocating for students alongside board members and the school.” Burgess defeated Lisa Ulrey and Matthew Nettleton, taking home slightly more than 50 percent of the vote to win the Town of North Manchester seat on the board. Ulrey came in second with just under 30 percent of the vote, and

Nettleton coming in third with just under 20 percent. Ayres challenged incumbent Buddy Brunn for the Chester Township seat on the MCS board. Ayres brought home more than 52 percent of the vote to Brunn’s 47 percent. Burgess has served on the board since Aug. 5, 2014, when the board selected him to fill a vacancy left by the departure of Dr. Glenn Sharfman. “It’s been a fun two

and a half years, and I just wasn’t ready to give it up. I felt like I was just beginning to get my bearings in the education world,” Burgess said. “I’m excited.” Ayres is an educator, author and public speaker. She is currently employed by Wawasee Community Schools as a writing coach, and previously worked for that district as a seventhgrade language arts teacher for four years. “I appreciate Buddy

Hospital work on schedule they’re about the same. Generally, they make hospitals about the same that way if a physician comes in he’s used to it. Comparably it’s real close.” Custer-Mitchell said that Parkview hospitals don’t all have the same design. Each is specific for the respective community. “we designed it based upon what Wabash needed,” she said. “There’s a few

differences but they just happen to be similar.” Among the items to be included in the new hospital is an OBGYN unit. “OBGYN will be there,” CusterMitchell said. “We’re planning and designing for two labor delivery recovery post-partum rooms, we call them LDRP. We’ll have two rooms next to that that are regular, medical surgical rooms

that if we have more than two moms and babes, we can move people into those rooms. We call them swing rooms and we can lock the rooms down on either side of those doors. We want security for the infant’s safety. “We just had a physician in town last week that we’re recruiting that does OB.” Parkview Wabash also would like to

place a sign north of the hospital, close to U.S. 24. But that is still in the planning stages. In order to do so, permission is needed from several agencies, including the Indiana Department of Transportation. “We have plans to put a sign up but we have not approached INDOT yet,” CusterMitchell said. “We’ll probably have to go to the Board of Zoning Appeals here to get a

variance. But we have not done anything like that yet.” The hospital also will help the city with its work on Wabash Street upgrades. “We will handle acceleration and deceleration lanes, that’s our responsibility,” Custer-Mitchell said. Hospital officials also are working with city officials to ensure that water at the site flows into a 27-foot

was interesting to hear what they had to say.” The district has a lot of work to do, Fadil said, and he is looking forward to helping do the work. Like Topliff, he also plans to meet with Keaffaber to discuss

an easy transition. Watson, on the Consolidation Facebook page, said, “Congrats to Mr. Fadil. I wish you the best going forward. Thank you to my wonderful family, JP Schuler, the Roann community and everyone that was willing to have my sign on your property. You are all true, loyal friends.” Bowman retained his Southwest District seat, defeating Carol Cly and William Hunter. Bowman received 2,956 votes, to Cly’s 1,661 and Hunter’s 1,404.

Paving of the roadway between the hospital and retention pond should be finished in late November or early December. As for the current building Parkview will likely put out a request for proposal in 2017, Custer-Mitchell said.

“Anyone who wants can get a copy and submit a proposal with what they would like to do with the building,” she said. “It will include a business plan and a financial plan, which is probably where most people will stop. “If we don’t get a proposal that we think will be a benefit to the community, or we get none, then we we’ll tear it down.”

Hunter, on the Consolidation Facebook page, “Congratulations to Kevin Bowman, Todd Topliff, and Gary Fadil. Moving forward with current members Matt Driscoll and Todd Dazey my hope as a parent and taxpayer is that you go forward

time on the board and urged them to continue to be involved with MSD. The newly elected school board members will take office in January and will join Matt Driscoll and Todd Dazey on the board.

Wabash native oversees construction of Parkview Wabash ...continued from the front page “I live here in town,” he continued. “I feel proud. This is probably the last hospital built in my hometown in my lifetime.” A 2003 Northfield High School graduate, Whitmer studied horticulture and landscape design at Vincennes University,

before transitioning into construction. “I needed a job,” he said with a laugh when asked how a background in horticulture and landscape design leads to work in the construction field. Whitmer’s decision to join Hagerman meant a two-hour

drive round trip to his job on a daily basis. “Then all of a sudden I get a chance to be less than one mile from my home,” he said. “Working on the hospital in my hometown is really neat. It’s something that I did not expect to be a part of when I started working in Fort

Wayne.” Whitmer serving as project manager is beneficial in several ways, Parkview Wabash President Marilyn CusterMitchell said. “I used to work here locally and I know what it was like to watch projects come in from out of town and not have an opportunity or chance for participation,” Whitmer said. “So I made it a focus with the folks on site trying to direct them to which stores to buy stuff from; where to go local for mar participation. “That is kind of nice because I personally know the folks who run the shops around here.” Custer-Mitchell said Parkview Health makes it a point to try to let local businesses bid as much as they can. “Adam’s been huge in helping with that because he knows all the local vendors and people helping in different areas,” she said. “He’s been huge in helping with that and helping Hagerman understand who those local people are so we can get them bidding. “That’s what Adam brings. He understands those connections, so that’s been a huge help.”

GOP dominates local election ...continued from the front page that helped in the General Election, too.� She said she hopes to be transparent when she joins the Council and plans to keep the public updated on the issues. That way, she said, maybe more of the public will become involved. Dale noted that of the reasons for the GOP success is that Wabash County is a predominantly Republican county. But, he added, he also stated his concerns rather bluntly

on some of the issues facing the county. “I don’t think we can be pussyfooting around on some of these issues,� he said. One such issue is the cost of inmate transfers and the possibility of having to build a new jail. Everyone has worked hard to try to keep the cost to the county down. “But unfortunately there are some citizens making poor choices in life and they end up in the legal system,� he said.

“The rest of us end up paying for it.� In other county races, the following Republican candidates were unopposed: — Circuit Court Judge Robert R. McCallen III — County Auditor Marcie Shepherd — County Treasurer Luann Layman — County Coroner Suzie Lewis — County Surveyor Cheri Slee — County Commissioner

District 1 Brian Haupert — County Commissioner District 3 Barry Eppley In the other contested race with a local tie, Republican David Wolkins defeated Democrat Dee Moore to retain his 18th District seat in the Indiana House of Representatives. Wolkins received 20,053 votes districtwide, compared to Moore’s 6,287. In Wabash County, Wolkins received

9,518 votes to Moore’s 3,446. All the state and federal races in Wabash County also saw GOP victories. One of the reasons for the GOP dominance is the fact that of the 13,817 voters in Wabash County, 3,633 cast straight Republican Party ballots. In what was termed one of the most important elections in some time, 60.52 percent of the registered voters cast ballots on Nov. 8.

WCS Board formally accepts MSD invitation By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash City Schools and MSD of Wabash County boards of education will meet in joint executive session in the near future to discuss the future of the two school systems. In September, the MSD Board invited the Wabash and M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools boards to the tri-partite executive session to discuss topics including declining enrollment, feasibility studies and consolidation. Wabash City Schools Board of Education formally announced its acceptance to the MSD of Wabash County discussions invitation Monday night, Nov. 7. W C S Superintendent Jason Callahan sent a letter responding to the invitation on Oct. 26. “Wabash City Schools believes in data-based decision

making,� Callahan said, “thus, I believe it is in the best interest of the future of our school system to engage in a conversation regarding such a feasibility study to better understand future enrollment trends, facilities, tax rates, state tuition support and current debt.� Four key factors motivated the WCS Board’s acceptance, according to Callahan. The factors included regional competition and economic development, enrollment trends, fiscal responsibility and current partnerships and initiatives. “Finally, and most importantly, the mission of this pursuit should be one that unites our community and not one of divisiveness,� Callahan said. “The climate of our state has been to have schools compete for resources. We do not foresee this climate to change. However, we believe that, united, we will

be stronger to compete with other counties or regions within our state. “Our goal is not for one district to take over another district; instead, our goal is to investigate the potential unification of our districts to create a stronger educational system for the benefit of all of our children.� WCS Board President Kim Pinkerton told The Paper of Wabash County that the board is looking forward to the conversation. “We’ve been reaching out and trying to have conversations since at least three years, since I’ve been here,� Pinkerton said. “But that’s not really the point. We’re just so happy that we’re finally at this point that we all agree that we have to do something ensure our kids get the best education possible. “We’ve always talked about the opportunities for our students and looking

at them as individuals,� she said. “We all want that advocate or somebody in our corner and it’s our responsibility to our students to make sure that they have that voice in our corner.� The MSD of Wabash County School Board met Tuesday night, Nov. 8, but did not discuss

the reply, according to Mike Keaffaber, MSD superintendent. So far, the MSD Board is still awaiting the final reply from Manchester before scheduling the official meeting. “We’re waiting to give a little bit more time,� Keaffaber said. “Obviously, we invit(continued on page 8)

SHARP CREEK STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT VOTING: Mrs. Wynn’s fifth grade social studies class learned how our citizens vote by participating in a hand’s on lesson. The class was divided into groups and given a candidate for the offices of President/Vice P r e s i d e n t , Superintendent of Public Instruction, Senate, and Attorney General. Each group made a poster telling about the candidates for that office. On Nov. 7 all Sharp Creek students voted in a mock election in the school’s library and a study area. There were clerks to sign the voters in and an area where students could study the posters about the candidates. When they

were ready to vote, they handed their paper to an inspector who took them into the study area to vote on three computers that were programmed with the candidates names. It was a wonderful lesson on how important voting is and how the process works. LADIES NITE OUT: Virginia Bozarth hosted the Ladies Nite Out Club at Not Your Average Joes for their Oct. meeting. For devotions Virginia read a poem “Friends Are Life’s Gift of Love.” President Anna Lee Biehl read the thought of the month “It costs nothing to say something nice about someone” and then led members in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Roll call was answered by telling what you would have your maid do - if you had one. Secretary Esther Terrel and Treasurer Helen Haupert gave their reports. President Anna Lee Biehl read the secretary’s minutes from October 2006 which brought back memories of good times. As a follow-up to Jean Fleck’s devotions last

Commissioners looking to reduce spending on CodeRED system By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com

The contract for Wabash County’s emergency alert notification system is up for renewal, and the C o u n t y Commissioners are looking to improve its terms and save money. Keith Walters, County Emergency Management Agency executive director, informed the commissioners that the county’s contract for the CodeRED Alerting System is up for renewal, at the price of $28,500 for the next three years. The system is a telephonebased emergency alerting system that warns county residents of emergency situations via text message or TDD/TTY for the hearing impaired. The county’s contract includes 50,000 minutes per year, which are used up as alerts go out. County Attorney Steve Downs had reviewed the contract, and posed a question to the commissioners that may result in a reduced price. “They present us a contract for 50,000 [minutes] for $28,500, which is a lot of money for minutes we don’t use,” Downs said. “We don’t get credit for minutes we don’t use, and we can’t carry the minutes over to the subsequent year either.” Walters informed those present that

only 20,000 minutes were used in 2015, and fewer have been used so far this year. “The last three year contract was $51,000; it’s now down to $28,500,” Walters said. He noted that EMA negotiated the contract down after getting quotes from other providers, something they had been unable to do previously due to a lack of available providers. “Back in 2008, when we started with them, there wasn’t any competition. Now, there are several companies providing the service,” Walters said. He volunteered to look into reducing the number of minutes, which the commissioners agreed to. County residents interested in signing up for the CodeRED system may do so at the EMA’s website, ema.wabashcounty85.us. In other news, the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department requested permission to ask the County Council for a total of $100,000 in additional appropriations for prisoner transport, an increase of $8,000 from what they previ-

ously requested. Sheriff Bob Land also reported the following jail numbers: 89 inmates are in the Wabash County Jail, 55 are being held in Miami County and four are located in Elkhart County. Of those, 22 are new in the last week. The commissioners also approved a $6,000 computer upgrade for the Economic Development Group of Wabash County, and a $137,340 contract with Purdue University for the Purdue Extension office. The EDG computer upgrade includes two laptops, a tablet and software. The money for that will be drawn from the county’s economic development income tax, or CEDIT, fund. The Purdue contract allows the Purdue Extension office to continue to operate, and was approved without discussion. The office offers several programs in areas such as agriculture and natural resources, health and human sciences, economic and community development, and 4-H youth development.

building that now houses the Rock City Café on East Market Street. Mayor Scott Long said crews began demolition work at the site after financing for the project was finalized. That was good news for the mayor. “I’m ecstatic that work on the project is finally underway,” Long told The Paper of Wabash County. “Each of the Stellar projects requires extensive design and engineering, which is something that you cannot see. We can now see physical activity beginning on this project.” Work on the project must be completed by

December 2018. “I do not know of a specific timeline on this project,” Long said. “I believe it will be completed prior to the deadline.” Some parking spots along East Market Street have been lost due to construction. However, Long doesn’t believe the road will be completely closed during construction. “There is no intent to close the road completely,” he said. “The parking spots and south lane of East Market Street may be closed at some point during the project, but the north lane of Market Street will remain open.” The 40-unit complex

will have ground-floor apartments, as well as apartments on the remaining three floors. Plans had called for a fourth floor to be added, but that did not meet requirements for historic tax credits which are needed to help complete the project. Long believes that the work on the Lofts is just the first of many Stellar Projects that residents will see. “I’m looking forward to other Stellar projects beginning construction activities in 2017,” he said. “I think our citizens will be happy with the results of the projects once they are completed.”

THE ROANN LIONS Club met at the town hall on Nov. 3. The meeting was opened with members giving the pledge to the American flag led by club president Rick Morris. In old business, Pam Woodall gave an update on the recycling project the Lions Club will be doing. Mary Ann Mast from the Urbana Lions Club was contacted and the two clubs, from Roann and Urbana, will be joining together to collect aluminum cans in both towns. Collections bins will be located in both Roann and Urbana, and the money from the sale of the cans will be split between the two clubs. The collections site in Roann will be in front of John Heeter’s building. The Urbana site will be at Your Parts Store. The money the Roann Lions Club receives will go toward buying fireworks for 4th of July. Donna Harman informed club members to pass the word that Christmas lights that no longer work can be recycled by taking them to the former R.E.M.C. building or Secondary Metals on Huntington Street in Wabash. There was an update on a possible spot to park the caboose that has been donated to the Roann Lions Club. The club can continue to try to contact the railroad and North Central Coop, who own the property north of the library, to see if that is a possibility. However, that may take some time if that is where it is decided

to be placed. Another option is the lot across from Todd’s Corner, (east) which the town owns, and eventually plans to build a small park. That lot will need several loads of fill dirt but Rick Morris has already checked on that being done. The club was reminded that Dick has requested that the restoration on the caboose be done at his place. In new business, Russell Krom made a motion and it was seconded to pay Rick Morris another payment on the donut trailer. Donna Harman reported that Santa will be at the Roann Library on Dec. 3, from 10-11 a.m. A motion was passed to provide candy to be handed out to the children. There will also be a Christmas Craft Bazaar that day in the Roann Community Building 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Those present at the meeting: Rick Morris, Keith Ford, Bonnie Corn, Russell Krom, Vonell Krom, Danny Shoemaker, Roger and Donna Harman and Pam Woodall. There will be some people who plan to join the club in the new year; therefore the January meeting will be a membership meeting. LIBRARY NEWS: During the month of November the library will celebrate Indiana’s bicentennial year! Stop by to see the display of Indiana Authors, check out a free State Park pass, or sign up for their raffle drawing to win a brand new commemorative book, “Indiana at 200 – A Celebration of the Hoosier State” (a $40.00 value). The library will be closed Nov. 24 – 25 for Thanksgiving. THE ROANN CHRISTMAS MARKET will be held at the Roann Community Building on Dec. 3, from 9 a.m. 3 p.m. Crafts, baked goods, and more. This event is sponsored by Roann’s Community

Heritage. For more information on the event or to register for a booth, please call Jerry Nelson at 765998-2863. There will be a Holiday Open House at the Roann Public Library that same day, from 9 a.m.-noon. Come and see the Willy Wonka – themed holiday decorations and peruse the library’s used book sale. Enjoy refreshments and talk to Santa from 10-11 A.M. Santa is sponsored by the Roann Lions Club. Dec. 3 will be a great day to visit Roann!

to have been given the opportunity and look forward to meeting new people and for a few seeing Disney for the first time. They would also like to thank anyone that attended any of their fundraisers they had and donated to help make this trip possible. They would also like to send a special

thanks to Mark and Cindy Solloway from Wabash Cannonball Lanes for all the help and time they gave to the fundraisers. Gahlwould also like to thank Rick Cripe with Cripe Mobile Home Transports for sponsoring the cost of her trip. The girls could not have done it without any of you.

VIEWPOINT Here is where the money goes ... Dear Editor: Wabash County C o m m u n i t y Corrections opened its doors in November of 2004 with the idea of providing sentencing alternatives for the Courts of Wabash County. Sheriff Leroy Striker and Chief Probation Officer Dallas Duggan applied for a grant from the Indiana Department of Corrections (DOC) to operate a Community Corrections program which would offer Electronic Home Detention (EHD) and Work Release as alternatives to placement in the local jail or in the state prison system. Sentencing alternatives, like Work Release or EHD, allows the Court to place an individual in a community based supervision program to fulfill their term of incarceration. Requiring that the individual participant pay a

Letters to the Editor portion of the costs towards their placement in one of these programs relieves some of the burden from the tax payers of paying the entire cost of an individual’s incarceration. This also allows a person to continue to support their families while serving the sentence imposed by the Court. Our annual report to the DOC indicates that it cost Wabash County $53.41 a day to house someone in the Work Release Program. This is only slightly less than the DOC’s calculation of $56.05 to house an inmate in one of the state prisons. Unfortunately, we are not able to accept a large number of the people referred to the Work Release program because they were

unemployed at the time of their arrest. We do our best to assist unemployed Work Release referrals in securing employment but this is usually very difficult to do due to their criminal backgrounds, poor work histories and a lack of transportation. Wabash County Work Release participants are charged $126 a week to participate in the program. During our past Fiscal year, we collected $42,435 in fees from those who participated in the Work Release program. Community Corrections spent $140,845 to administer the Work Release program ($84, 000 of this was DOC grant money). The $42,435 in fees collected from the program participant’s helps

in a jail or prison. Admittedly I am not an expert on all of the rehabilitative services available in Indiana. I can only offer my insight based on the experiences my agency and the Probation Department have had while attempting to connect people we supervise with substance abuse rehabilitation treatment or programs. The majority of rehabilitative programs follow what I would call a medical model in some form or another. Because of the “medical” influence on these programs, they are very expensive. Most all of the treatment facilities that we are aware of require insurance or an ability to pay per diems of $180 a day or more.

treatment program for Wabash County offenders. Our primary target group for this program will be those who have substance abuse issues. In summary, the fees generated from individuals who participate in the Work Release Programs across the state are being used to supplement the cost of operating those Work Release programs. Very few people would be able to pay $50 a day to be a part of a Work Release program. Those of us who administer a Work Release program understand that we must secure grants or find other funding sources to operate a program that will allow an individual to maintain their employment, support their families and pay some of the costs of their incarceration. — Jeff Hobson , Director, Wabash County Community Corrections

The editorial staff of The Paper invites readers to submit letters to the editor on timely issues. To ensure fairness to everyone, we have established the following guidelines: Mailed and faxed letters must be signed. All submissions, including by email, must include an address and daytime telephone number for verification. Letters in which the writer requests to be run anonymously will not appear in print. 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

pay the cost of the GPS bracelet that all participants wear, the food they eat and the utilities (electric, water, etc.) that they use. Like any form of incarceration, our Work Release program costs more to operate than the fees that are generated. The second part of Mr. Dillard’s question appears to be about rehabilitative services. The Work Release program is primarily a sentencing alternative not a rehabilitative service. Many of our participants attend AA or NA or are in a drug or alcohol treatment program through the Bowen Center, but we are not a Drug or Alcohol treatment program. Our primary focus is being a community based alternative to incarceration

This immediately eliminates a majority of the people who are struggling with an addiction. Our Probation Department has utilized an inpatient program in Lake County called Recovery Matters which is a free rehabilitative program but there is usually a six to eight week waiting list to be able to be a part of their program. In our latest DOC grant, we were able to secure some monies to begin a Jail Treatment Program for inmates who have already been sentenced. We have run into some difficulties in how to implement this treatment program since the majority of our sentenced inmates are now kept in the Miami County Jail. I am currently in negotiations to contract a Department of Mental Health approved service provider in Miami County to conduct a

Parkview honors Dan Gray at annual gala By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

As Dan Gray accepted the 2016 Healthcare Hero Award Saturday night, Nov. 12, emcee Jonathan Cornell pulled out two cigars to celebrate the occasion. “I also have an award of sorts that I’d like to give to you. On behalf of me, I’d like to give you one of these,� Cornell said, handing Gray a cigar as the Honeywell Center Legacy Hall auditorium burst into laughter. “Do you do this with all your recipients?� Gray replied, smiling. “You award them and then you give them something that they’re going to die from in a couple of years.� The Parkview Wabash Foundation honored Gray Saturday night at the 22nd annual Community Gala for his efforts as director

of the Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition. Jokes aside, “in all honesty, Dan, congratulations,� Cornell said. “It couldn’t have happened to a better guy and I just wanted to say congratulations.� Gray has served sacrificially and skillfully as the Tobacco Free Coalition’s direction, Cornell continued. “Ladies and gentlemen, Dan Gray has been the director of the Tobacco Free Coalition for 11 years now,� he said, “and in his time in that office, he has had another remarkable thing (occur). Reducing the smoking rate in Wabash County from 26 percent to 19 percent.� However, while the evening honored the director, Gray said the honor really goes to his coalition. “It’s not about me,� Gray said. “Without the work of the coalition who has been

supportive with everything that we’ve done and the work of the community and healthcare providers, everyone’s really been very supportive. I’m honored, but I just feel very humbled by this. “I just want to recognize my coalition, those that have stood beside me and are encouragers, motivators. They’re really the ones that are behind all of this.� Before ending his acceptance speech however, Gray admitted a fun detail about his career. “When I started this, I didn’t want to do it,� he said. “I retired as a minister and I think my wife didn’t want me sitting around the house, and she saw this ad in the paper for this parttime job and she said, ‘Why don’t you go apply for this?’ “And I can’t remember the exact ad, but it said ‘tobacco’ in it and I said, ‘I don’t want anything to do with

tobacco.’� The ad ran in the paper for three weeks, he continued. “And she hounded me, but don’t tell her I said that, to go apply,� Gray said. “So I thought, ‘Well, just do it and get it over with.’ I did and the thing is they hired me on the spot, and I didn’t know what to do at that point.� Gray got right to work, he recounted. “We lived at the time close enough, I’d walk to the office and one day I lost my cell phone,� he said. “I couldn’t find it and so I called it and this lady answered it and she asked if it was my phone and I said yes. So we made arrangements to meet for her to give it to me. So we met and she had the phone in her hand and she said, ‘I’ll give you the phone if you buy me a pack of cigarettes.’ “And I looked at her and this was my first week on the job, and I said, ‘Well ma’am, I

understand your predicament, but please understand mine. I just started a new job where I’m supposed to help people quit smoking. I

really don’t think I should go to the store and buy you a pack of cigarettes. Somebody might be watching me, but what I can do is give you some infor-

mation to help you stop.’ “She looked at me and she said, ‘Well I probably should quit,’� he continued. (continued on page 29)

Manchester U to present international fashion show From the MU News Bureau See the world from A to Z at Manchester University as students model clothes from all over the world. The students will model traditional and modern attire while emcees recite tales about the cultures and garments during “The International Fashion Show: The World from A to Z.” U.S. prom attire will also be featured.

The program is 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 18, in Cordier Auditorium on the North Manchester campus. It is free and open to the public. Audience members are welcome to sit down, relax and enjoy the beautiful colors or get up and dance to the beat as participants perform dances from their respective cultures. “Even in the small town of North Manchester with 6,000 residents, we

have a strong representation from around the world,” said Michael Dixon, director of Intercultural Services and international student advisor at MU. “Manchester has a history of an international consciousness and this is just another manifestation of that.” Dixon, who helped organize the event, talked about what the show will be like. “We’re doing walks,

wardrobe changes. The show is going to look more like a play. With the increasing number of international students on campus, there’s an excitement to attending the International Fashion Show. We’re hoping people are going to see that.” Student Mariam Aly Ibrahim, special assistant in the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said she is excited to bring different parts of the world to Manchester.

musicians come from all over northern Indiana, so it’s important to us that we give students in our region this special opportunity.” In order to participate, students must be residents in Adams, Allen, DeKalb, Elkhart, Fulton, H u n t i n g t o n , Kosciusko, LaGrange, Marshall, Miami, Noble, St. Joseph, Steuben, Wabash, Wells, or Whitley counties.

“This year, we have about 17 different countries represented in the show. Our volunteers have been working hard and I can’t wait for us to share this experience with everyone on campus and the North Manchester community.” Arpan Paul, a firstyear environmental studies major from Kolkata, India, will model his native c l o t h i n g . “Everything is new here.

share my culture with everyone and excited to learn about other people’s cultures. The cultural interchange will enrich the memories of my life,” he said. The program sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs, also aims to promote awareness and fight cultural stereotypes. The event is part of the Values, Ideas and the Arts series designed to offer students cultural exposure, artis-

tic experience and intellectual enrichment. “Manchester is a welcoming place for diversity and we want to show that to the community and provide that experience of different cultures. It’s exciting to see every model learn about the clothes they’re modeling and having fun while doing it,” said Miriam Cruz, a senior psychology major from Summit, Ill.

Knights fall short in Regional bid Southwood’s football season came to a close Friday night as the Knights fell to the Adams Central Flying Jets, 23-7. While Adams Central won by 16 points, the score was not indicative of the close play throughout most of the contest. Adams Central opened the scoring at the 3:52 mark of the first quarter. But the Knights battled back, as Carson Blair connected with Blake Martz for a 2-yard touchdown pass to tie the score at 7-7. Adams Central scored in the second quarter on a safety after Blair was flagged for intentional grounding while in the end zone, giving Adams Central a 9-7 lead. That’s where the score stayed until the 10:35 mark of the final quarter when Adams Central score from one yard out. It then scored again at the 2:32 mark, this one coming from two yards out. The Flying Jets defense held Southwood’s passing attack down much of the night. Blair finished the night 22 of 37 for just 192 yards. Peyton Trexler was Southwood’s leading receiver, pulling in four passes for 84 yards. Martz caught 10 passes for 58 yards, while Matt Cox caught four passes for 23 yards. Zach Ball was on the receiving end of two passes for 21 yards. Cox was Southwood’s leading rusher, gaining 23 yards on seven carries. The Knights’ rushing game managed just nine yards on 13 carries, or 0.7 yards per carry. Southwood finished the season 9-4, and the loss snapped the Knights’ five-game winning streak. Adams Central will meet Pioneer on Friday, Nov. 18, in the semistate contest. Pioneer upset Lafayette Central Catholic, 28-27, in semistate action.

Great American Smoke-out is Thursday By The Paper staff Every year, on the third Thursday of November, smokers across the nation take part in the American Cancer Society Great American Smoke-out event. Encourage someone you know to use the date to make a plan to quit, or plan in advance and then quit smoking that day. By quitting – even for 1 day – smokers will be taking an important step toward a healthier life and

reducing their cancer risk. About 40 million Americans still smoke cigarettes, and tobacco use remains the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the world. While cigarette smoking rates have dropped (from 42 percent in 1965 to 17 percent in 2014), cigar, pipe, and hookah – other dangerous and addictive ways to smoke tobacco – are very much on the

It’s everybody in our community working together.” Parkview Wabash is honored to celebrate Gray’s efforts this year, according to Kerri Mattern, Parkview Wabash manager of community health and chairperson of the Healthcare Hero

selection committee. “Dan and his entire coalition is a group that do so much work behind the scenes and doesn’t get any credit,” Mattern told The Paper of Wabash County. “The general public doesn’t know the impact that they have on this entire community, and over and over tonight we heard tonight that the rate went from 26 percent of tobacco usage when he started down to 19 percent. “Nobody realizes that a large of that reduced percentage is because of his work and his coalition. That’s really what we’re looking for when we’re looking for a Healthcare Hero.

the chances of quitting successfully. The Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition is open to help anyone that is ready to quit his or her tobacco use. All you have to do is call 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1800-784-8669). For personal help from the Coalition call Dan, 260-274-2920.

Timbercrest honors veterans, spouses m

By David Fenker david@nmpaper.co

NORTH MANCHESTER — Most Veteran’s Day services focus on the veterans, highlighting their courage and sacrifice during their service to their country. Timbercrest Senior Living Community took a different approach to the annual day of recognition this year. “We wanted to acknowledge spouses who were married during their husband’s service,” Jim Ribley, master of ceremonies and one of the event’s organizers, said. Featured at the service was the story of “Mrs. X,” a M a n c h e s t e r University graduate

and Timbercrest resident whose first husband, “Mr. X,” passed away after enlisting in the Navy in 1944. Mr. X’s story was told the 2015 Veteran’s Day service, and his identity was revealed to be Frederick Cooper. During World War II, he left his job as a teacher to avoid being drafted, choosing instead to enlist in the Navy and join an officer’s training program. “He gave her one last kiss and hug, and he said ‘I’ll be home darling. We’ll start all over again,’” Ribley said, reading the couple’s story to those assembled. Mrs. X and her daughter, Rebecca, lived in Iowa during Cooper’s time in the service. He traveled to Iwo Jima, where he

helped man a gunboat during the siege of the island. Cooper’s boat, Boat 449, was hit, and he was killed. Mrs. X received a telegram on March 11, 1945 informing her that her husband was missing in action, with enough details to make it clear that he would not be returning. Their daughter was 3 years old at the time. Mrs. X moved back to North Manchester, finished her college education and became a teacher. She remarried, and “lived a long and happy life” with her second husband, Ribley said. Mary Katheryn Cooper Uhrig and her daughter, Rebecca, were recognized at the end of their story. Shortly thereafter, the spouses of veterans

living at Timbercrest were all presented with certificates bearing the poem “The Silent Ranks” as a token of appreciation for their service as wives during war. Timbercrest Director of Housing Services Mary Beth Gast read the poem, and T i m b e r c r e s t E x e c u t i v e Administrator David Lawrenz passed out the certificates. Veterans were also recognized during the service. Near the beginning, the service songs of each of the five branches of the armed forces were played, with veterans standing during the song of their branch. Following that, information about the Honor Flight was shared and veterans who have participated

Jim Ribley, master of ceremonies for the event, speaks at Timbercrest Senior Living Community’s Veteran’s Day ceremony Friday, Nov. 11. Photo by David Fenker in the flight were recognized. The Honor Flight is an annual trip that takes veterans, free of charge, to Washington, D.C. for a day of touring the city. Highlights include the various war memorials, and Arlington Cemetery.

The veterans and a helper, who does pay and must be at least one generation younger than the veteran, leave from Fort Wayne early in the morning and return late in the evening of the same day. Several Timbercrest residents

have gone on the trip, with seven going on the most recent flight in October. The event was organized by a committee of Jim Ribley, Warran Garner, Mary Beth Gast and Brian Daniels.

County youth explore future opportunities at WHS College and Career Fair By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash High School opened its door to all of Wabash County’s youth Wednesday, Nov. 9, for the school’s third annual College and Career Fair. The event featured 43 vendors including colleges across Indiana and Ohio, representatives from the five branches of the United States military, the Wabash County Fire Department and the Plumbers and Steamfitters Union among others. The fair is open to the entire county because of a two-fold purpose, according to WHS Principal Kyle Wieland. “For the representatives’ standpoint, they want to be able to see as many students as they possibly can,” Wieland

told The Paper of Wabash County. “So if we open the fair up to as many high school students as possible, it’s going to bring in more colleges, universities, military, career groups. “If it was for a couple hundred Wabash students, we probably wouldn’t have as good a turnout from the representatives and it wouldn’t be benefiting the entire county.” The event also provided crucial last minute insight into unknown college and career opportunities for seniors like Gabe Payne. Initially, Payne, of WHS, considered attending Indiana University for undergrad, but now he’s exploring other avenues for his post secondary education like Indiana University-Purdue University in

Indianapolis. “I hadn’t been on the IUPUI trip, so I didn’t know much about it, and I went over their table (at the fair) and they had a lot more majors than I thought,” he said. “I was kind of closed minded to how many colleges and universities I actually had the option to go to, and there are a lot of places here that I haven’t even heard of. “So this has really been a great opportunity. … What the college fair has helped me do is compare colleges at the same time. I can actually look at information side by side instead of having to research each one by myself.” Because so many groups are represented, there’s something for everybody, Wieland added. “Instead of stu-

dents having to go to those institutions and learn about then, they can compare them all on the same day and maybe talk to some groups they didn’t even know existed,” he said. “You always question how many (students) are taking in, but then I hear from parents that they brought this home or they’re really interested in this, and sometimes it’s just the starts of those conversations. Then they follow up by taking a trip to that college, because this (fair) is where the conversation started.” While college and career vendors were the fair’s main attraction, the event also offered students the chance to learn more about scholarships and opportunities through the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of

Wabash County. It’s important for the Community Foundation to partner with the WHS fair, according to Nancy Alspaugh, CF Promise Scholarship Program Director. “It’s important because the C o m m u n i t y Foundation provides great opportunities for Wabash County students to help earn some scholarship money to help go to some of the colleges that they’re visiting today,” Alspaugh, said. “It’s the financial aid piece of going on for further

education and training and it’s so important, and the C o m m u n i t y Foundation has great resources to give those high school students. “We provide a great resource for students and their parents to help make going to college or some additional training possible through the financial resources that people in the community have left to the Community Foundation to administer.” Although this year’s fair is similar

in size to the 2015 event, Wieland hopes it will keep building. “It’s bigger than the first year’s fair,” Wieland said, “and most of the people that were here last year did return this year, so that’s a great thing. “We got a lot of positive feedback from the representatives that this is a well-established event and, from their standpoint, they got to meet a lot of students, which is great.”

A Wabash Police chase Monday morning, Nov. 14, led to the bust of an alleged mobile methamphetamine lab. According to a report by Cpt. Matt Benson, Wabash City Police public information officer: At approximately 10:53 a.m., the Wabash Drug Task Force advised city police of a wanted subject who was exiting the Wal-Mart parking lot, driving a blue four-door passenger car. Officer Dan Hen-

derson observed the vehicle and attempted to initiate a traffic stop near Linwood Lane when the vehicle failed to stop. Henderson pursued the vehicle, which led to a chase eastbound on U.S. 24. The Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department set stop sticks at the intersection of U.S. 24 and State Road 13 to assist in the chase. The vehicle hit the stop sticks and continued a short distance eastbound on U.S. 24 before it turned around and traveled back to S.R.

13 where it then began heading northbound. Officers continued to pursue the vehicle until it stopped near Poole’s Meat Market. Following the arrest of three individuals, officers located an alleged methamphetamine lab inside the vehicle. Eugene R. Farmer Jr., 38, West Lafayette, was preliminarily arrested for a Tippecanoe County warrant, a Wabash County warrant, resisting law enforcement with a motor vehicle, possession of marijuana and manufacturing

methamphetamine. Passenger Abbygail P. Morse, 23, North Manchester, was preliminarily charged with obstruction of justice and aiding and manufacturing methamphetamine. Passenger Roxanne L. Daugherty, 26, Wabash, was released pending review of criminal charges by the Wabash County Prosecutors Office. The case was investigated by Wabash Police first shift officers with assistance by the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department and the Wabash Drug Task Force.

Laketon Lions help Manchester Music Boosters Article provided

The Laketon Lions Club during the Oct. 27 meeting presented the Manchester Music Boosters a check for $1,100 for the student and parent participation and contribution to the successful fish fry held in the park in September. Again, the Club says thank you to the community - one and all! The Club extends special thanks to all

who attended the Sunday dinner served at the Main View in October. The public’s continued support provides the club the means to carry out the Lion projects and those of the community, club officials said.. Members will be placing a decorated Christmas tree at Timbercrest on Nov. 29 for their annual event. A $25 donation was made to the Manches-

ter Symphony Orchestra and $25 to North Manchester Historical Society. There will be more than 20 vendors for the Holiday Bazaar on Nov. 19 at the Manchester Church of the Brethren from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The American Legion Auxiliary Unit No.402 will serve soup, sandwiches, dessert and drink for shoppers and visitors. Finally, a reminder that Laketon Lions

members have 2017 Discount Cards. Time to think of Christmas stocking stuffers.

Warsaw theatre plans auditions for spring play By The Paper staff WARSAW — The Center Street Community Theatre announces plans for a Spring 2017 production of “The Curious Savage” by John Patrick. Performances are scheduled for Feb. 17, 18, 24, 25 and 26 at Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts. The show will be directed by Melissa Jordan. Performances start at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and the organization has added a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. the second weekend. Cost will be $12 per ticket.

Auditions will be Nov. 28-29, with callbacks on Dec. 1 , from 7-8:30 p.m. in the basement fellowship hall of Warsaw First United Methodist Church. The cast will include five males with ages ranging from 20-60 and six females with ages ranging from 20-75. Audition format will be a cold reading, in which participants read directly from the script, rather than preparing monologues. The organization asks that cast hopefuls come with their schedules of conflicts starting Dec. 5 until the show ends. Those attending

should also understand that this is an ensemble show and will require everyone to be at most rehearsals, a potential schedule will be announced at the auditions. First produced in 1950, “The Curious Savage” is a gentle satire and heartwarming comedy, according to the organization. Mrs. Ethel Savage has inherited $10 million from her late husband but her spoiled (adult) step-kids commit her to The Cloisters, a sanatorium, in an attempt to get their hands on the fortune which Savage has hidden.
