Mayor McCallen remembered as visionary

Park bomb threat still under investigation

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com F o r m e r Wabash Mayor Robert McCallen Jr. is being remembered as someone whose love of Wabash will be felt for years to come. M a y o r McCallen passed away Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015, at St. Vincent Heart Center in ROBERT Indianapolis. He MCCALLEN JR. was 88. Mayor McCallen served in office from 1996-2000. His administration was instrumental in beginning the city’s downtown Streetscape program, and also moved Wabash City Hall from its former location at 101 S. Wabash St., to its current site, 202 S. Wabash St. He also was the driving force behind the Riverwalk in the lower level of Paradise Spring Historical Park. Mayor Robert Vanlandingham called the Riverwalk “a prime example of his vision for Wabash, and it will be enjoyed for many years to come.” “Mayor McCallen is gone but his legacy will live forever,” Vanlandingham said. “He worked hard at doing what he thought was best for his community both during his years as mayor and after. “Mayor McCallen will be missed but never forgotten.” Wabash Clerk-Treasurer Wendy Frazier also praised Mayor McCallen for the vision he brought to the city. “He brought imagination, wisdom and foresight to Wabash that was unprecedented,” she said. “I was very saddened to learn of his death and wish his family comfort and peace.” An Effingham, Ill., native, McCallen served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. Following the war, he enrolled at studied at Eastern Illinois University before graduating with bachelor and master degrees from Indiana State University. Mayor McCallen’s career was extremely diverse. He ran a camp for crippled children in Springfield, Ill., taught (continued on page 2)

Firefighters remember 9/11 attacks By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Firefighters from around Wabash County honored their fallen comrades on Friday, Sept. 11. Representatives from eight local departments and one from Howard County spent the day climbing stair steppers the equivalent of 110 stories, the height of the World Trade Center buildings that were attacked and collapsed 14 years earlier. The program was done in honor of the 343 New York City firefighters who died in the collapse, as well as three local firefighters who died while in the line of duty here. The program, now in its third year, started as a challenge between Wabash firefighters Jeff Krom and Dennis Vigar. The pair, accompanied by family

members, were on the stair steppers at 7 a.m. The fellow firefighters began the process at 5 a.m. and continued through 7 p.m. in one-hour intervals at the Wabash County YMCA. Vigar and Krom completed their walk in full gear, complete with air tanks on their backs. “They didn’t have a choice,” Vigar said of the New York firefighters. “To truly honor them, I try to do the equivalent of what they had to.” Krom added, “It does make it tougher.” In addition to honoring their fallen brothers in uniform, the pair decided to raise money to help send a child to the Indiana Burn Camp in Battle Ground. Their goal was $1,100, and they believe (continued on page 16)

Last week’s bomb threat is still an open investigation, according to Sgt. Matt Benson, the Wabash City Police Department public information officer. At approximately 2:42 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 9, the Wabash County Central Dispatch received a 9-1-1 call stating that there were explosives located at the City of Wabash’s park on Hill Street. The caller did not identify if it was Wabash City Park or Hanna Park, localed on West and East Hill Street, respectively. Wabash City Police responded to both the City Park and Hanna Park to close and evacuate the vicinities, according to a press release. Additionally, the Dallas Winchester Senior Center was also evacuated as a precaution. Both parks remained closed until approximately 5:06 p.m. after K9 explosives detection units from Cass County and Howard County surveyed the areas. The Senior Center also was searched, as were the vehicles of Center employees that were left unlocked in the parking lot. No explosives were found at any of the sites. The call was traced on the day of the explosives threat, according to Benson. Wabash Police Capt. Jim Kirk is following up with the phone companies to try to identify the caller. Wabash City Fire, Wabash County EMA and Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department assisted at the scene.

Local 12-year-old attempts to raise $20,000 for cancer research By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com September is National Children’s Cancer Awareness Month and Karsyn Bratch is aiming to raise $20,000 to donate to the Jeff Gordon Pediatric Cancer Research Center at Riley Hospital for Children during the second annual Kick-It with Karsyn event on Saturday, Sept. 19. This year, more than 29 teams have signed up for the event to support Karsyn, a Wabash native who was diagnosed with optic glioma – a type of brain tumor that affects the eyes – in 2007 when she was 4-years-old.

The number of teams more than tripled since last year’s event and will include teams led by all three Wabash City mayoral candidates, Scott Long, Margaret “Boo” Salb and Wade Weaver, according to Larry Graff, national Kick-It organizer and Kick-It with Karsyn game organizer. “Last year, we only had eight teams so we’re going to be using all of the fields at the Morrett (continued on page 25)

to Bloomington, where he studied law at Indiana University, receiving his degree there in 1956. Upon graduation, he moved to Wabash where he practiced law and

served as city attorney for two different administrations, as attorney for the Wabash City Schools Board, and as attorney for the towns of Roann, Lagro and Somerset.

Mayor McCallen also became involved in the construction business, developing numerous multi-family housing complexes across the Midwest, including Senior Town in Wabash. He also coowned and developed condominiums along the shores of Lake Erie, Ohio. He created Friendly Nursing Home in Wabash, which was later acquired by Miller’s Merry Manor. He developed and owned the Wabash Village Shopping Center and he also developed and owned the Hotel Lafontaine in downtown Huntington. Before becoming mayor, he served in the administration of Gov. Evan Bayh where he was the first commissioner of the Hoosier Lottery Commission. Mayor McCallen began serving as the city’s chief executive following the resignation of Mayor Dallas L. Winchester. He completed Winchester’s term in office, and was then elected to another four-year term. In addition to creating the Riverwalk and moving City Hall, Mayor McCallen also was instrumental in beginning the movement of several other projects that benefit the city today. He created a blueribbon committee to investigate the creation of a YMCA in

His work with the museum carried on even after he was out of office. In 2013, Mayor McCallen and his wife of 67 years, Peggy, donated a caboose to the museum, which is in the process of being refurbished to become an outdoor display at the facility. “We at the museum are sad to hear about the passing of former Mayor Robert McCallen Jr.,” Museum Executive Director Mitch Figert said. “As we celebrate our 10-year anniversary this month, we remember the important role he played in our creation.

“As mayor, he secured our current facility and donated the property to the museum so it could be rehabilitated. Most recently, he donated the caboose to the museum which has become an iconic piece for all who enter the downtown. “Bob will be deeply missed by all of us at the museum and our thoughts go out to his family.” Mayor McCallen’s work in the community was not limited to the museum. He was heavily involved with the Honeywell Foundation, and he and Mrs. McCallen began the holiday banner program at the Honeywell Center.

We thought it was a great idea - and it was. “The Wabash County Winter Banner Competition is an annual favorite and big highlight for the Honeywell Foundation. It allows parents, grandparents and friends to come together and celebrate the work of talented students. Each year, about 700 attend the annual reception. It will be really hard for me this year to know Bob won’t be there.” Mayor McCallen was involved in other aspects of the Center as well. “He was a Life Member which is part of our overall governing of the Foundation and a 20-plus year member of the Honeywell House Board,” Minnich said. “His advocacy, enthusiasm, and visionary thinking were assets on which we – and I personally – relied.” In addition to his wife, Mayor McCallen is survived by five children, 13 grandchildren, 27 great-grandchildren, a sister and several nieces and nephews. Funeral services were Sunday afternoon at Grandstaff-Hentgen Funeral Service, Wabash. In honor of Mayor McCallen, the city’s flags were ordered to fly at halfstaff by Mayor Vanlandingham.

Hands of Hope advocate retires after 15 years ing. “All these people are in this person’s life, and they’re like, ‘What am I gonna do?’” she said. “I connect (the client) with all these people. I connect the dots, then they’re going to understand, because they’re not going to understand otherwise. They don’t.”

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

When Helen Chambers enters someone life, it’s generally at a low point for the individual she is meeting. Chambers is Wabash’s County Hands of Hope Victim’s Advocate Coordinator. “I’m their legal voice,” she said of her work, sitting behind a desk with various knick-knacks on top and stacks of file folders piled on a nearby chair. “If something doesn’t happen and it’s supposed to, I let them know. I advocate very strongly for these people. “It makes them feel better.” Chambers, a 15-year employee of Hands of Hope, retired from her position on Aug. 31. An open house in her honor took place at the Wabash Presbyterian Church office, where the Hands of Hope site is located, on Monday.

Early work for ‘Mo’

Chambers moved to Wabash from Delaware County in 1988. It was in the Muncie area that she had her first experience with helping those in need. “Back in Muncie, Delaware County, I worked at a crisis hotline and at a walk-in drug and alcohol center,” she said. “They had a 24-hour hotline, and I trained to do that and also work with the crisis hotline there in Delaware County. I trained for both and worked at both places.” She wanted to be involved in the social service system for a personal reason. “Somebody I was very close to died because of spousal abuse,” she said. “I couldn’t help her. I tried but I couldn’t. And I wanted to help others. I just prayed about it, and all this fell into place.” It was while working in Delaware County that Chambers adopted the moniker that most know her by, “Mo.” “When I worked on the hotline, you couldn’t use your regular name,” she said. “’Mo’ was my ‘a.k.a’ name at the hotline. You can’t use your real name because you have to protect your family.”

A 24-7 job

Victim’s advocate Chambers’ clients come from a variety of places. Law enforcement may refer them to her. Or hospital personnel may tell people about her. Then there’s referrals from the Department of Children Services and, she also gets referrals from attorneys. Each case varies, she said, as what she can and can’t do for the client. “The bottom line is I’ll always be there for them,” Chambers said. She is there more for moral support and to make sure the victim’s rights are met. “We get together and we’ll do a lot of paperwork on the protective orders,” she said, explaining that protective orders are issued for civil cases, while no-contact orders are for criminal cases. She also serves as a liaison, of sorts, between the client and the prosecutor’s office.

“We will get letters from the prosecutor’s office telling them about the case, and they will write impact letters,” Chambers said. “A lot of times they come to me and I’ll help them write the impact letter. Or, if there’s something they don’t understand, we’ll make an appointment and go in and talk to the prosecutor. It makes the clients feel a lot better.”

Working in the background She also goes to court with the clients, though she doesn’t testify in the case. “I’m right there with them,” she said. “But all my stuff is in the background. If something doesn’t happen and it’s supposed to, I let them know.” Any number of people may become involved in a client’s case. It is up to Chambers to make sure the client understands what is happen-

Chambers doesn’t have a 9 to 5 job. Rather, she has to be ready 24 hours a day, seven days per week to spring into action. “If the phone rings at two in the morning,” she quips, “you know you’re being called out.” And when she meets the clients, it’s usually at a dark point in their life. “The hardest cases are when you go to a funeral,” she said. “Or when you go through a case involving a murdered child, or when you’re with police when they tell somebody that their daughter has just been raped. “Stuff like that is just really tough.”

Appreciation for her She has worked with most of the attorneys around Wabash County, and they all have the utmost respect for what she does for her clients. “Helen has always place the needs of those she helps above her own needs, spending countless hours listening, supporting and teaching victims how to stand up for themselves,” North Manchester attorney Elden Stoops told The Paper of Wabash County. “Helen does her best to help each victim understand that being a victim is something that is not

deserved and doesn’t have to be tolerated. She always goes the extra mile to sit through so many court hearings to be sure that each of her charges understand what is happening once they’re in the system, and she stays available afterwards to be sure they know that they each have a special value in their community.” She also has garnered praise from Dan Vanderpool and Robert McCallen III, the past and present Wabash Circuit Court judge, respectively. “During her years with Hands of Hope, Helen Chambers has worked tirelessly to

assist victims of abuse in finding help and protection from their abusers,” Vanderpool said. “Her caring attitude and knowledge of the system regarding protective orders has been a benefit to the victims, and to the community as well.” McCallen said he first met Chambers while in private practice about 15 years ago. “That case has had a lasting impact on me both personally and professionally,” he said. “Helen was instrumental in getting the mother of four out of a horrible situation. With her support she was able to move on with her life in a safe (continued on page 4)

A support system Just as Chamber provides support for her clients, there are those who help provide support for her in her times of need. Her ultimate way of coping is her strong religious belief. “I pray a lot,” she said. “I pray before I go to work, during work and after I get home. “I have my own mentors that I talk to. I have a lot of wonderful pastors that I’m connected with. I’ve got my very own support system; a very good support system. Among those in the support system, she said, are local attorneys, as well as other advocates with whom she can talk.”

Current Wabash County Circulation

Numbers of victims Chambers has no idea how many people she has helped over the years. “It’s got a rippling effect, so I never counted,” she said, estimating she has helped hundreds in 15 years. “I just never counted.” The attorneys can affirm her efforts. “I remember many occasions a s judge when I would get calls and questions at all hours of the night, seeking some immediate help for an unfortunate person caught in abuse,” Vanderpool said. “I wondered at times when Helen would sleep, since she seemed to be available at all hours. It is rare to see that type of commitment to a cause, but Helen stayed true to her duties.” And while she has worked with hundreds, Chambers tries to provide the same level of professionalism to each client. “Each and every case I’ve ever had is just as important as the last

because it’s important to them,” she said. “If you don’t get that validation, you’re not a good advocate. That’s just my opinion. “You’ve got to treat each and every one of them with validation.”

Cause of abuse There are many factors that can cause an abusive situation, Chambers believes. “Some of it may be generational,” she said. “Parents, dad – or mom, I have male clients, too – did it. (The kids) just think it’s normal. “Some of it correlates with drug and alcohol abuse. I’m not going to say that’s the reason, but it does correlate with a lot of the cases. “A lot of people say it’s the economy, but I don’t agree with that. A lot of clients that I have, they don’t want; they’re pretty set. A lot of it is control issues.” She also believes the thought that the holidays causes more abuse is wrong. “Actually (the parents) keep it together during the holidays for the kids’ sake,” Chambers said. “That’s my opinion. But at the

first of the year, you’ll see it. You’ll get a rash of calls.” March, around tax time, also sees a rash of calls. “It’s either feast or famine,” she said. “I would rather have the famine. It’ just really sad.” Some, Chambers said, don’t believe there’s a problem with domestic abuse. “A lot of people don’t understand there’s a lot of violence in this county,” she said. “It’s something that people don’t really want to talk about, but it’s here and it’s not leaving. “I wish it would, but it’s not.”

The future

Chambers has one immediate goal when she left the office on Aug. 31. “I’m going to debrief,” she said. And just as with any retirement, there are some things she will miss and other things she won’t. “I’m going to miss the clients,” she said. “I’m gong to miss working with the people. I’m going to miss it all.” Well, that’s not exactly correct. “I’m not going to miss being on call 247,” she said with a laugh. As for other plans, she hopes to travel and spend time with her three children and numerous grandchildren. She has son, David, who lives in the St. Louis area, while another son, Eric, and a daughter, Dawn, both live in Tennessee.

While local attorneys have been helpful throughout her career, Chambers has received help and support from others. “I learned a lot through law enforcement,” she said. “(Former North Manchester Police Chief) Linda Learned taught me a lot. Officers in Wabash and Wabash County have helped a lot. I worked with some really great people.” Former Sheriffs Tim Roberts and Leroy Striker and Former Wabash Police Chief Charles Smith also helped her along the way, as has current Sheriff Bob Land. But there are more than those in the legal profession or law enforcement who have helped Chambers . “The ladies at the

shelter,” she said, “they are the unsung heroes, and also all the people at the courthouse.”

Mo’s impact

”There is a heavy toll paid from spending the kind of time and energy that Helen puts into helping people that have been victimized, yet I have never heard her complain about the burdens that she carries for those she helps,” Stoops said. “The many people that Helen has helped may have the smallest voices in our community, but because of Helen, so many of them have been heard. “ Vanderpool said, “It is rare to see that type of commitment to a cause, but Helen stayed true to her duties. She’s earned some rest and will be difficult to replace.” McCallen echoed both his legal counterparts. “I see daily the work she does, tirelessly and passionately for others,” he said. “She will be greatly missed.”

Mary K. Peabody bicycle staying local ly exemplifies what a small town is all about. They were able to raise $3,000 as a result, and having some of that money left over is a huge bonus for the Center for History because that building is extremely large, which makes the expense of doing any restoration rather significant in comparison. So, it all just turned out wonderfully for them, and for the North Manchester community.”

By Shaun Tilghman news@thepaperofwabash.com NORTH MANCHESTER Leading up to the first-ever Peabody Home Foundation Endowment Benefit Auction on Saturday, it was obvious that not everyone was pleased with the Foundation Board’s decision to auction off several unique collections and items, especially those that had specific ties to the North Manchester community. One item that drew a lot of local attention when listed for auction, was the bicycle owned by Mary K. Peabody. Early on, however, Peabody Home Foundation Director of Development Stan Williams stressed that, although they were putting such items up for bid in order to help fund their own mission, they did still hope that the items would ultimately remain local. “We’re really hoping that, with an item such as the Mary K. Peabody bicycle, someone who is a contributor to the North Manchester Center for History will step forward and purchase it in order to donate it to the Center,” Williams said. “We really see that as a win-win. Not only will they be donating an item of local significance to the historical society, but they’ll also be contributing to our mission to help residents whose resources have run out, as well as supporting the upkeep of our historic buildings.” During the auction, those hopes were realized, as former Manchester College art professor Stephen

Former Manchester College Art Professor Stephen Batzka poses with the Mary K. Peabody bicycle that he won during the Peabody Home Foundation Endowment Benefit Auction. The bicycle will be displayed at the North Manchester Center for History. Photo by Shaun Tilghman Batzka, representing various local donors, won the bicycle on behalf of the North Manchester Historical Society, with plans for it to be donated to and put on display at the Center for History in downtown North Manchester. “I represent the North Manchester Historical Society,” said Batzka, “and basically, we felt that we should have the bicycle in our museum. So, I was here to bid on the bicycle, and we had collected approximately $3,000 to purchase it. “We actually got it for about half of what we collected, so that’s even better, because the additional funds will still be used for other purposes benefitting the museum. We’re currently trying to restore the exterior of the museum downtown, and that’s going to take a lot of money. So, we’re definitely glad for any money we can get for that project.

“Obviously, it would have been nice if Peabody could have just given it to us, but there really aren’t any hard feelings over it. Ultimately, we ended up with the bicycle, and we were able to help Peabody out in the process. So, it all worked out in the end, and now we’re going to work on finding a nice place to display the bicycle.” Laura Rager, executive director of the North Manchester Chamber of Commerce, added, “I am thrilled that they were able to pull this off. I know that people were going around town on Thursday and Friday trying to get pledges, because a lot of people felt that, since she was a hometown girl, we couldn’t let it go. “There were still a lot of people worried that that’s what would happen, and I have to say that, during the bidding, it seemed like

nobody in the gallery where we were sitting was even breathing. Then, when the bid jumped by $500, everyone thought that would be the end, but it turns out that Stephen was actually able to win the bicycle as a representative of the historical society. “The way people pulled together when they realized this local treasure might go somewhere else, it real-

Cyclists tour county in Dam to Dam ride By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com More than 450 bicycle riders from around the Midwest took to Wabash County roads on Sunday for the sixth Dam to Dam bicycle ride. Riders from as far away as Virginia traveled between 15 and 100 miles, taking in many of the sites Wabash County has to offer along the way. Christine Flohr, Visit Wabash County executive director and organizing liaison for the Dam to Dam steering committee, was pleased with the turnout. She was especially pleased with the number of people who registered on Sunday morning at the Wabash County YMCA. “We’re really pleased with the number of people who showed up today to register because they wait to see what the weather will do,” she said. “I am overwhelmed with the reception we’re getting from the quality of food we’re offering to how well registration

Photo by Joseph Slacian is streamlined.” The weather for the ride was perfect. “There’s a little wind for riders, but in regard to temperatures, it’s going to be great,” Flohr said. “Riders can shed clothing at each of the SAGs. Temperaturewise, it’s going to be great.” While the ride took place on Sunday, riders began showing up in Wabash on Saturday. Once here, they could see a free screening of the movie “Breaking Away” at the Historic Eagles Theatre, or

have a pasta dinner at Harvey Hinklemeyers. “The movie was received really well,” Flohr said. “How could you go wrong with ‘Breaking Away’? It’s a classic. People were laughing. It was fun to have people enjoying

the cycling humor. “Riders appreciate being taken care of all around. We’re not just taking money, we’re selling an experience, essentially. What can we do to make this best for riders? That’s our approach each year.”

Wabash County Probation Department — are seeking a supplemental grant of $388,299 from the Indiana Department of Corrections. Wabash

C o u n t y Commissioners on Tuesday, Sept. 8, signed a letter indicating the county was in support of them applying for the grant. “This is part of the Department of Corrections (DOC) money that has been set aside by House Bill 1006,” Community Corrections Director Jeff Hobson told The Paper of Wabash County following the Commissioners meeting. The House bill rewrote Indiana code, doing such things as creating numbered felonies, rather than letter felonies as had been in the past. “It was part of that process of revamping the whole criminal justice system,” Hobson added. The DOC has $5 million in grants available for the entire state this year. Officials expect that number to increase in 2016, perhaps to as much as $20 million. The grant is made up of four components, Sarah Lochner, Wabash County’s Chief Probation Officer, told commissioners. The components, Hobson added, are C o m m u n i t y

attending had one month from the session to have the grant written. “We were about 75 percent done” when the training took place, Hobson said. “We had to go back and change some things after the training, but others had not even started. The pair, he continued, hope that others are waiting for the 2016 grant program to seek funds, which could improve the chances for Wabash County. Commissioner Barry Eppley noted that this is the state’s way to give back to counties for not accepting Level 6 Felons in the DOC any longer. Those felons must now be housed in the local jail. That is causing a major space issue, at least in Wabash County. Wabash County Sheriff Bob Land reported that on Sept. 8, there were 87 prisoners in the Wabash County Jail, with another 42 being housed at the Miami County Jail. The deadline for the supplemental grant is Sept. 18.

Judicial Center expectations with C o m m u n i t y Corrections” as well as DOC expectations. “Are we implementing things that have been proven, by research to reduce the likelihood of people reoffending,” he continued. “If we’re not, then we’re putting our funding in jeopardy.” It also is asking for funds to begin a recidivism reduction program. “We’re asking to start a re-entry court,” Lochner said. “It would address those people leaving incarceration and coming back into the community. “A lot of times what we see happening is within the first six months, those people … have violated probation and are going back to the Department of Corrections. We want to put that re-entry program into place and try to line them up with our services.” Hobson and Lochner have been working on the grant for about six weeks. A training session took place earlier this summer, and those

If received, the grant will be used for, among other things, additional office space and additional personnel, as well as creating the Re-entry Court. It also will require the two departments to work together more closely than in the past. For example, C o m m u n i t y Corrections would oversee fieldwork for both departments, while Probation will take on the quality assurance for the two programs. Hobson believes that the quality assurance portion of the program is needed because, “while it’s not been said, it’s been implied that grant money in the future will be based on compliance with

Robert R. McCallen Jr., 88 Former Mayor of Wabash Nov. 15, 1926 – Sept. 8, 2015

Robert R. McCallen, Jr. 88, of Wabash, long time resident, local businessman and former Mayor of the City of Wabash, died at 4:47 pm Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015, at St. Vincent Heart Center in Indianapolis. He was born Nov. 15, 1926, in Effingham, Illinois to Ray Robert and Fairy (Byers) McCallen. He is survived by his wife, Peggy V. McCallen of Wabash, 5 children, Peggy (Alan) Grossnickle, Page (Shane) Himes, Bryan (Sylvia) McCallen, Paula McCallen, and Robert (Chris) McCallen III; 13 grandchildren; 27 great-grandchildren; his sister Rachel (Thomas) Hallam and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, and two brothers, Harold McCallen, and Dr. Richard McCallen. His incredible spirit will long live on through all of them and through so many others his life touched. His life’s mission was to instill in his family a “can do” spirit. He was greatly shaped by the events of his early life growing up during the Great Depression to wonderful parents and his early service in the Navy, where he enlisted in 1944, at the age of 17, following his graduation from Effingham High School. His mother had to sign his enlistment because of his age. Bob appreciated the importance of an education. Following his honorable discharge from the Navy, where he served in the Atlantic and Pacific Theaters of operation, he immediately enrolled at Eastern Illinois University. He then later transferred to Indiana State University where he received his undergraduate degree in 1950 and his Master of Science Degree in 1951. However, and most important to Bob during this time was he met and married Peggy VanBorssum on June 20, 1948 in Terre Haute. They were married 67 years. In school, Bob’s interests were in speech and hearing therapy. Bob was a charter member and first Financial Secretary of the Wabash County United Fund. Upon graduation he began as Director of Camp Star Bythe-Sea a summer camp for crippled children in Springfield, Ill., where he taught partially deaf children. He then taught speech and hearing therapy in the Hartsville, S.C., public school systems. While teaching he organized and operated a speech therapy clinic for Cerebral Palsy Children at the Florence Medical Center, Florence, S.C., where he also wrote a newspaper column on the topic of speech and hearing therapy. He also was the Assistant Director of the Crippled Children’s Society for the State of South Carolina. Bob then moved, along with wife and two children, to Bloomington, to attend law school. He graduated in 1956 with his J.D. and was asked to move to Wabash at the behest of then Mayor Bob Mitten. Thereafter, Bob continued to practice law. However, his unique drive to always look for new opportunities led him to many other activities. Since coming to Wabash in 1956, he was city attorney under two administrations, attorney for town boards in Roann, Lagro and Somerset, and School Board Attorney for the Wabash City Schools where he championed the idea of consolidation back then. In areas somewhat connected to but also beyond the practice of law, he developed numerous multi-family housing units across the Midwest (including Senior Town in Wabash) and also in the states of South Carolina and Maryland. He co-owned and developed condominiums along the shores of Lake Erie, Ohio. He created Friendly Nursing Home in Wabash, which was later acquired by Miller’s Merry Manor. He developed and owned the Wabash Village Shopping Center and he also developed and owned the Hotel Lafontaine in downtown Huntington. Bob loved life. Bob loved challenges. As mayor he relocated City Hall to its present location, and he created a blue ribbon commission to investigate a YMCA facility in Wabash. Look how well that turned out. He acquired the old Sears Building which now houses the Wabash County Historical Museum. Look how well that turned out. He, along with Peggy, began a Banner program for the youth of Wabash and adjoining counties in conjunction with the Honeywell Education Outreach Center. He gave his time, talents and wisdom to the Honeywell House to ensure its status as a national treasure. However, much of what was given by Bob (along with Peggy - the two were inseparable), remains unknown. Long before “Pay it Forward” became a household word, Bob and Peggy were doing just that - anonymously. Along the way they encouraged their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to do so as well. Bob has been recognized for achievements on a broader level with two Sagamore of the Wabash Awards and he was named by Gov. Evan Bayh to serve on the first Hoosier Lottery Commission. Bob’s family and friends will miss greatly his daily words of wisdom, wit, drive, his indomitable spirit and his kind, kind heart. He was truly one of the members of our Greatest Generation. To his grandkids, he will always be remembered as “Grandpa Donuts.” Funeral services were Sunday, Sept. 13, 2015, at the Wabash Friends Church, 3563 S. St. Rd. 13, Wabash with David Phillips and Aaron Story officiating. Visitation was Saturday at Grandstaff-Hentgen Funeral Service, 1241 Manchester Ave., Wabash, and Sunday at the church. Inurnment will be in Falls Cemetery, Wabash at a later date. The preferred memorial is the Honeywell Foundation Banner Contest.

than they had prior.” At one point during the climb, three chiefs or assistant chiefs – Bob Mullett of the Wabash Fire Department, Rob Cussen of the Noble Township Fire Department and Larry Rensberger of the Roann Fire Department – were on the stair steppers together. “These fellows have done this for such a good cause,”

Rensberger said. “I was off today so I thought it was a chance for me to step in and help out a good cause.” Cussen, whose brother Greg is one of the three local firefighters being honored for their sacrifice, also was happy to help any way he could. “Every year it’s a remembrance of the sacrifices made,” he said. “All this just reinforces for me the fact we want to do things right and safely. “Every time I do this, and it’s become a priority to me, is I never want to put my guys in danger. We want to make it as safe as possible. I want everyone going

home at night. Any run we’re on – I don’t care if it’s the smallest run to something that’s large, there’s risk involved.” Mullett said he was proud of Krom and Vigar’s efforts. “It’s just amazing how big this has gotten in just a few years,” he said. “This just isn’t the Wabash Fire Department doing this. It’s countywide. There has been a good response from the county firefighters. It’s nice to be united together. That’s a real testament to the dedication of all the county firefighters.” Krom and Vigar thank the YMCA for allowing them to conduct the event at the facility.

Local Edward Jones team attends training By The Paper staff Steve Weir, a financial advisor with the financial services firm Edward Jones in Wabash, and Jody Slacian, a branch office administrator, recently attended an invitation-only training opportunity at the firm’s headquarters in St. Louis. The three-day Advanced Practice Management Forum is offered to branch teams throughout the country who rank among the top third most successful in the firm in helping clients work toward their long-term financial goals. “The Advanced Practice Management Forum gave us an opportunity to share ideas with other suc-

cessful teams, visit with home-office experts to discuss ways to meet more clients’ needs and view technical demonstrations highlighting a variety of systems and tools,” Weir said. “Jody and I also were able to tailor some of the training to focus on areas of our business that we want to grow.” Slacian adds, “Attending this training together will help us better serve our clients. We now share a clearer vision of the best practices, tools and resources to use in earning new clients, deepening relationships with existing clients and overall delivering an ideal client experience.”

19 Apaches grab sole possession of the south High school football excitement comes to Wabash County THE PAPER

September 16, 2015

www.thepaperofwabash.com

By Gary Andrews

BUNKER HILL — The Wabash football team had a big date at Maconaquah on Friday as the Apaches took a perfect 3-0 record into the game. The Braves also boasted a 3-0 record with both teams being in the south division of the TRC. It would be a match up of the Braves offensive line size against the Apache defensive speed, with speed overcoming size as Wabash moved to 4-0 for the first time since 1966 in a 24-7 and take sole possession of the south division. The Apaches would try to catch the Braves off guard to start the game with an onside kick that was touched to soon, giving Maconaquah the ball. The Braves would mount a small drive before the Apache defense dug in to force a punt. The Wabash offense would stall with an Owen Yeadon punt putting the Braves deep in their own territory. The Apache defense would come up big

After a long Yeadon run to the 4, Luke Proctor put the first points on the board for a 7-0 lead with 3:59 left in the quarter. Maconaquah would even the score late in the quarter when quarterback Luke Hann broke five tackles before finding Keron Hullum on a 43 yard scoring strike with 33.8 left to tie the score at 7. Neither team could break through in the second quarter as several drives ended with

turnovers or punts and the game was still tied at 7 at the half. The Apaches did all the scoring in the second half. In the third quarter Owen Yeadon would give the Apaches a 10-7 lead on a 20 yard field goal with 3:42 remaining after the Apache defense forced another Brave fumble. After giving the offense great field position for a score, the Wabash defense did some scoring on it’s own when Noah Cressell blocked a punt with Reece McDonald picking it up and racing 44

yards for a score and a 17-7 lead. Wabash would tack on one more score with 2:24 left in the game when Proctor scored from 2 yards to secure the win. Passing : Hipskind 6 of 12, 64 yards Rushing : Proctor 21 for 76 yards : Yeadon 8 for 68 yards : Hipskind 9 for 2 yards Receiving : Proctor 1 for 34 yards : Dillon 2 for 20 yards : Weber 2 for 6 yards : Yeadon 1 for 4 yards The Wabash defense held Maconaquah to 143 yards of offense

Second quarter lifts Knights to win By Gary Andrews Just 19 seconds into the game Southwood’s Carson Blair raced 65 yards for a touchdown and the Knights never looked back, defeating North Miami 34-0 on Friday. The Knights took the opening kick off and on the first snap Blair put the Knights

up 6-0. In the second quarter Blair would use his arm instead of his legs, hitting Peyton Trexler for a 15 yard scoring strike. Jon Berlier would record the second score of the quarter, running in a TD from 12 yards out. Blair would go to the air one more time before the half, find-

ing Zach Ball for a 36 yard scoring TD for a 28-0 half time lead. The Knights would put up one more score while the defense was pitching a shut out. Jon Berlier scored midway through the third from 1 yard out to give Southwood their 34-0 lead. Blair finished the night 14 of 24 for 226

yards. Jon Berlier rushed for 98 yards on 18 carries, while Blair had 51 yards on four carries. Zach Ball had four receptions for 77 yards, while Peyton Trexler had three catches for 68 yards and Jeffrey Finicle had four receptions for 60 yards.

Peru stops Manchester, 34-21 By Gary Andrews NORTH MANCHESTER — The Manchester football thought it was making a trip to Peru Friday, but a water main break at Peru caused the Tigers to travel to Manchester to take on the Squires. Manchester held a 7-0 lead after one, then endured a 42-point second quarter between the two teams and trailed 2821 at the half before falling 34-21. The Squires got on

the board first when Bailey Ness scored from 1 yard out to give Manchester a 7-0 lead after one. Things would get crazy in the second quarter with both teams scoring at will. Peru would get the first score of the second quarter and convert a two-point conversion to lead 8-7, but the Squires would answer. Bailey Ness would connect with Kane Gable on a 52 yard scoring strike to give the Squires the lead back at 14-8. The Tigers would get the

next two scores on runs from 80 yards and 52 yards to take a 21-14 lead, but once more the Squires would answer. Ness would get his second passing TD when he found Keelan Norwood from 38 yards to knot the score at 21. Peru found the end zone one more time before the half ended to lead the Squires 28-21 at the half. As fast and furious as the first half was, the second half was the opposite with Peru getting the lone

score on a 3 yard run in the fourth quarter for the 34-21 final. Passing : Ness 16-36 for 231 yards Rushing : Shepherd 9 for 31 yards : Ness 8 for 22 yards : Gable 2 for 18 yards : Sellers 6 for 12 yards Rec : K.Gable 6 for 100 yards : Norwood 4 for 73 yards : Trick 1 for 27 yards : J Gable 1 for 16 yards : Shepherd 3 for 10 yards : Sturtsman 1 for 5 yards. Rickert led the defense with 6 tackles. Sellers added 5.

By Bill Barrows There is a lot of excitement around Wabash County for high school football right now. After Wabash beat Maconaquah and Northfield dismantled Tippecanoe Valley, both road wins, I might add, proved to be all that more impressive. Both teams are undefeated at 4-0 on the season. There is a lot of pride right now involving those two teams when it comes to the student body and the fans. At Northfield, Abby Keaffaber and Catherine Tracy told me that the enthusiasm builds up to a fever pitch for game time. The team has built momentum and they seem to keep rolling methodically up and down the field while the fans react to their every move. Football can be an emotional roller coaster. Fans react emotionally when things are good. They also feel their hearts drop when things aren’t so good. So far, Coach Brandon Baker and his charges have been keeping the fan base cheering. Speaking of emotional roller coasters, Wabash football has not had a lot to cheer about collectively over the years. Back in the ‘30s thru the early ‘70s, football on Alumni Field

was a tradition of tough, flashy teams that won repeatedly. Then, the program fell on hard times. In fact, the current players were not even born the last time Wabash had a winning season. That was in the mid ‘90s. But we got a glimpse of things to come last year. The Apaches were in every game and thrilled their fans with comeback wins highlighted by a Homecoming win with a touchdown pass as the final gun sounded. But did anyone see 4-0 coming???? I’d love to say that I did, but to be honest … not exactly. Every fan hopes that the new season brings success. One parent told me that they would be happy if the Apaches won half of their games. Another parent, has told the players (her two sons are team members) that she will quit smoking if they win five games. She will remain nameless, because at this point there is more pressure on her than the kids. This is a story that we may revisit later on in the season. Moving on, Football Booster Club President Sam Hipskind, also a former Wabash player, told me that when the group reformed before this season, the parent and booster mantra was to keep everything positive, nothing negative! A complete effort to instill a successful thought process for the program. The players who are juniors and seniors on this team have had success since they played YMCA football in

grades 4 and 5. Head coach Floyd McWhirt has never wavered in his quest to build a positive, successful program at Wabash. Even when things haven’t gone well, and there have been times when the pendulum was painfully tipped the other way, his vision has not changed. There needed to be a complete football culture change. Coach McWhirt and his staff have fought an uphill battle, but it appears that although that battle still goes on, it looks as though the tide is changing. All we have to do is check out the full bleachers at home games and watch social media blow up as each game progresses on Friday nights. The last time the Apaches were 4-0 to start a season was the 1966-67 season. Those were the days of Bill Cantrell, Gary Holley, Steve Votaw and a number of other players who hover over a program that to that point, was one of the state’s elite. The current team ranks No.1 in team defense in the state thus far for the season. I know that Mr. Cantrell and his buddies are rooting for a return to glory and are extremely proud of what has been accomplished thus far. And, as a salute to my long time friend, a shout out to him, when I see Luke Proctor back to receive a kickoff this season, I always remember standing along side the field all those years ago and hearing Pete Rish yell to No.82 (Bill Cantrell) “run it back Billy!!!”

Norse blank Valley, 59-7 By Andrews

Gary

Ever heard the old saying ”what goes around comes around”. For years the Tippecanoe Valley football team issued some beat downs on their home field against Wabash County teams. Last Friday night the Northfield Norseman repaid the debt. Northfield score first and often Friday as they built their lead to 52-0 in a 59-7 old fashion romp over the Vikings. The Norse would strike twice in the first quarter when Jensen Frieden scored on a 12 yard run with 6:56 left to make it 7-0. Just 90 seconds later Jared Short would make it 14-0, scoring on a 21yard-run to lead 14-0

after one. Just nine seconds into the second quarter, Short would find the end zone again from 54 yards out for a 21-0 lead, then score again at the 8:02 mark on a 39yard pass from Drake Richter to make it 28-0. With 21 seconds left in the half, Freiden would score for the second time, this time from 3 yards out as the Norse led 35-0 at the half. The Norse would score just once in the third quarter when Noah Shear connected on a 28-yard field goal to stretch the lead to 38-0 and in the fourth the Norse would show the Vikings how a whipping felt. With 9:49 left in the game, Drake Richter found John Schuler from 10 yards out to

Lady Knights capture TRC golf title By Gary Andrews The Southwood Lady Knight golf team put three players in the top five to secure winning the TRC tournament at Norwood Golf Course Saturday.

The Northfield and Wabash volleyball teams went the distance Thursday with the Norse defending home turf 14-25, 25-21, 8-25, 25-21, 15-13. Wabash would dominate game one after trailing early. Down 76 the Apaches would get a tip from Jaycee Parrett during a 5-0 run to grab a 12-6 lead, then got kills from Kristin Cromer and Sam Irgang to increase the lead to 16-8. The Norse would take advantage of a few Wabash mishaps

to close the gap to 2014 when the Apaches scored 5 straight to end the game. During the last run Brooke Irgang had a kill and Cromer an ace, 25-14. The Lady Norse came to life in game two, grabbing a quick 7-2 lead off two Liz Howenstine aces and a kill from Jordan Bratch. Wabash would go to their front line freshman sisters, Sam and Brooke Irgang to close the gap to 11-10, but the Norse wouldn’t give. Paige Holley and Bratch would take the net back as the Norse maintained their

Week No.5 of high school football is upon us already.

small lead until 22-21 when Bratch would end the game with two aces for a 25-21 win and tie the night 1-1. Game three was tied at 4 when it became all Wabash. The Lady Apaches would get an ace from Cromer that ignited a 9-0 run to open a 13-4 lead, then go on a 4-0 run and a 5-0 run to lead 22-7. After a Paige Holley kill stopped the run Sam Irgang would score on a tip and an ace to end game three 25-8. Game four was tight early with Northfield leading 11-

9 when it looked as though the Apaches might end the night. Wabash would get a block from Sydni Mullett that led to 6 straight points as the Apaches grabbed a 1511 lead. At 17-13 the Norse would find a second wind. Down 14-17 Madelyn Dale would score on a tip that started a 8 point run to put the Norse up 21-17. During the run Ava Smith had three aces with Paige Holley collecting a kill. The Apaches could not cut into the lead as the Norse won 25-21 to force a game five.

Northfield would get the early lead in gave five off Wabash turnovers, leading 5-2 when the Apaches righted the ship. Wabash would score 8 of the next 9 points to lead 10-6 when the ship made a u turn. The Norse would go to Holley, who had two kills and an ace, plus got a kill from Jordan Bratch to score 7 of the next 8 points and led 13-11. Wabash would then tie the score off a Mullett kill, but the Norse answered with a tip from Liz Howenstine to go on and win 15-13 and 3-2.

The Rochester volleyball team defeated Southwood, 3-2, on Thursday night in a Three Rivers Conference matchup. Rochester won the first two sets before the Lady Knights battled back for 2927 and 25-18 in the third and fourth sets, respectively, to set up the fifth and

deciding set. The Lady Zebras won that set, 15-11, defeating Southwood for the first time since 2003. Bailey Hobbs led Southwood with 15 service points, while Emilie Harnish added 12. Hobbs had three aces. Harnish also had 23 kills and 27 digs to lead the team in those categories.

Several months ago, my granddaughter asked if I would please make some clothes for her Barbie doll. She even added “pretty please with sugar on top.” How could I refuse any request from such a sweet 7-year-old? After all, I remember my Grandma making clothes for my doll when I was a little girl. So, feeling a little nostalgic, I bought a pattern, dug out some vintage double knit fabrics and started on a sewing frenzy. I had forgotten how hard it is to sew for someone with a two-inch waist, not to mention all of the darts and pleats required. After six hours of tedious sewing, I managed to turn out a

By Shaun Tilghman news@thepaperofwabash.com NORTH MANCHESTER — Peabody Retirement Community welcomed residents, donors, family, and friends to the 2nd Annual Camp Peabody’s USO Show on Saturday. Close to 400 people braved the slight chill to eat, laugh, dance, reminisce, and sing along to the tunes of some of America’s greatest composers and bandleaders from the World War II era. “It was such a huge hit last year that we knew we had to bring it back again this year,” said Stan Williams, director of development for Peabody Home Foundation. The Stardusters Orchestra from Indianapolis, featuring Janiece Jaffe and The Starlighters Singers, entertained attendees with their tribute to the great jazz bands of swing. Generous supporters of the Peabody Home Foundation and the George Leonhard Memorial Endowment, a designated perpetual endowment, made the event possible, according to Williams. “Part of the reason why the event is such a huge hit with our residents, is that this is the music that takes them back to a very melancholy time in their lives,” Williams continued. “It was a time when their family and friends, and even some of them, were going off to war – the whole world was basically turned upside down. So, when you can bring memories like that back to mind, it

Pickup, semi collide; no severe injuries reported By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com At approximately 7:52 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 10, the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department responded to a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of U.S. 24 and State Road 13. According to the official report, a green 1996 Chevrolet pickup truck driven by Edward L. Tacker, 16, Wabash, was attempting to turn left from U.S. 24 onto S.R. 13 on his way to Northfield JuniorSenior High School.

Tacker told the responding officers that he had observed other vehicles turning ahead of him and followed through the intersection, although he admitted he did not see the light change due to glare from the sun. A semi tractor-trailer driven by Darek Forys, 49, Milton, Ontario, was traveling west on U.S. 24 when he observed his light turn green and proceeded through the intersection, according to the report. He advised officers that he saw the truck traveling

through the intersection and was struck by Tacker. Forys said he could not prevent the collision. After the initial impact of the rear axle on the semi, Tacker’s vehicle traveled alongside and under the trailer. Forys’s vehicle traveled approximately 100 west of the intersection before stopping. Tacker was treated at the scene for some abrasions to his knee, lower leg and foot. Forys had reportedly no injuries.

Local boutique celebrates one-year anniversary with ALS fundraiser By The Paper staff Bash Boutique, a Wabash-based business that specializes in women’s apparel, will host its first year anniversary and fundraiser for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) on Saturday, Sept. 19. “This is a personal cause for us as my uncle is living with ALS”, said Amber

Noone, Bash Boutique owner. “The community of Wabash has been so supportive of the Bash Boutique project, we are always seeking out opportunities to promote charities like the Indiana Chapter of ALS. We are so grateful to be even a very small part of the Wabash county business and philanthropic community.

A wonderful evening is planned, so we hope lots of folks can find a little time and join us to support the ALS cause, while having a little fun at the same time”. The local store will be donating 10 percent of its sales that day to the ALSIndiana Chapter. “Smokin’ for a Cause” will be serving pulled pork and ribs at Paradise

Springs Park in the evening. The store’s main event will begin at 4 p.m. with highlights including door prizes and giveaways every 15 minutes and a silent auction to raise additional donations. Bash Boutique is located at 49 W. Market Street on the Market Walk in downtown Wabash.

Local 12-year-old attempts to raise $20,000 for cancer research

... continued from the front page Sports Complex (Field of Dreams),” Graff told The Paper of Wabash County. “Each team has approximately eight to 10 players so right now we’re expecting a turnout probably somewhere around 300 people.” As of Wednesday, Sept. 9, the event raised approximately $6,000 with online donations and an approximately $3,000 in sponsorships. Karsyn’s stepfather Bill Burchett said the community support has been incredible. “It is awesome that this community has stood behind us and is helping make this awareness possible,” Burchett said in a telephone interview with The Paper. “There are so many people that never know that these problems exist for families. “Unfortunately, this has happened to our family. So we know enough people and Karsyn has met enough people and touched enough people’s hearts that there’s a lot of people very passionate about wanting to help raise the awareness of what’s going on and what it takes to truly get the pediatric cancer research funding.” Last year, the event raise more than $5,500 for the research center, according to Graff. This year, Burchett and Graff said that they hope to raise $20,000 locally. “The original goal that we set was $10,000,” Graff said.

“Last year, the first Kick-It with Karsyn event was 2014 and that raised about $5,500, but with Jeff Gordon’s matching funds it was $11,000. “So this year our initial goal was $10,000 and we’re probably going to achieve that, but we’d like to get closer to $20,000 and with a strong final week I think that’s a possibility.” However, no matter the amount raised, Burchett said every dollar counts and is important to their cause. “The reason this event is so important to us is, number one, any dollar amount that we raise here locally, Jeff Gordan with our ties that we have to him, he has offered to match dollar for dollar whatever we raise,” Burchett said. “He’s got a really soft spot in his hear for Karsyn. He wants to see that the money that is raised go to the Jeff Gordon Pediatric Cancer Research Center at Riley Hospital that he funds. “Research is what’s needed right now for Karsyn’s future.” At this time, there is no known treatment for Karsyn’s cancer, he continued. “That is why it is so important for us to pursue the awareness of this and help seek the funding to keep this research going. … It’s going to take a medical breakthrough to find something that will work for her.” According to Burchett, Karsyn,

now 12-years-old, is still fighting and is currently being taken off chemotherapy treatments to concentrate on pain management. “She struggles with pain because of the type of cancer and where it’s located at – in her brain and in her spine – anywhere there’s spinal fluid is where her cancer is,” Burchett said, noting that she’s “very much so still positive. “With the event coming up, she’s really excited about it. But she’s actually a little mad at us because we’re not going to let her play.” Karsyn will make the initial kick in the opening ceremony and then she’ll remain at the event to visit with the teams and public throughout the day, her stepfather said. Kick-It with Karsyn is open to the public and the community is invited to come watch. The opening ceremony will begin at 11 a.m. on Saturday. All registered teams will play a minimum of two games. Those who would like to volunteer for the event such as score keepers, registration helpers and other general volunteering jobs may call Burchett at 260-2243516 or email at raceguy46992@gmail. com.

Insurance fee increases concern MSD teachers and staff By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com MSD of Wabash County staff and teacher insurance fees are increasing and raising cries of concerns from those affected. At the MSD school board meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 8, representatives from both Northfield and Southwood faculty packed the board’s meeting room and flooded into the hallway to seek policy clarification and voice their opinions. “I think as you guys know, most of the people are here for the insurance,” said Adam Marlett, S o u t h w o o d Elementary School teacher. “Many people have questions regarding the insurance and there is some, I don’t want to say misinformation, but there is some misunderstood information that was presented to many of the teachers about when our pay would start being deducted and, looking at the numbers, it’s seeming that over the next two months we’re going to be switching over to the new consortium rates. “The minimum that’s going to be a hit in everybody’s pay-

check is going to be $150, up to a maximum of over $1,500, I think the actual number was $1,610 for people on family plans, when there’s a possibility that they might never receive the benefits of that consortium plan.” The insurance fees increased as a result to the board voting to join the North Central Indiana School I n s u r a n c e Consortium in August. While joining the consortium increased the school system’s available plans, the costs of those plans are not feasible to many of the staff, several attendees said. “Classified (staff) are getting double slammed because we make the least amount,” one staff member said. “And the amount that’s coming out of our pay—I mean I’m losing $200 per month and I don’t know where I’m going to come up with that unless I get a second job. “I have a pre-existing condition. Who’s going to pick me up? Does it come down to do I go see my cardiologist this month or do I pay my heat? That’s what it’s going to have to come down to and I shouldn’t have to make that decision

after 31 years with this corporation at this point in my life.” Board member Kevin Bowman said that this issue is larger than all of those in the meeting room Tuesday night. “The board here, we don’t have an answer and you guys don’t have an answer,” Bowman continued. “You’re paying too much for your health care. I don’t know what the answer is.” “And I don’t have an answer to ease that t o n i g h t , ” Superintendent Dr. Sandra Weaver added. “You’ve heard me say it before and I’ll say it again, Mike (Keaffaber) … and I have spent a lot of time talking about what this increase is going to do to people and how do we get to the point where we raise salaries. “We have made cuts. … But none of that has caught up enough because why? Student enrollment continues to decline.” However, the decision to join the consortium was not affected by student enrollment. The vote to join instead came as a direct result of the board discovering its school system’s depleted Self Insurance Fund. Currently, the fund (continued on page 27)

is $2.4 million “in the red,” according to Mike Keaffaber, assistant superintendent of finance. “This came to our attention probably nine months ago,” Board member John Gouveia said. “The information that we have been receiving as a board, part of which you’ll hear tonight, is claims. We see a distribution going out for health care to the cost of $70-80,000 every pay period. We were not getting information that that account was not being fully funded (for the past five years.” The administration board had hired a broker, whose name was not released, to manage the Self Insurance Fund. However, according to the board, the broker failed to do his job and did not manage the fund, causing it to drop into the red. In the long run, joining was a good move, Keaffaber said, and may prevent the board’s mistake from happening again. MSD of Wabash County will be the 11th school district to join the consortium and, as such, is required to pay an additional percentage of the insurance costs, but Keaffaber said he’s hopeful that the rates will get better next year. However, educators and staff alike were wondering why they should have to pay for the board’s five-year mistake. “I’m not saying that any of you made the

mistake, but it was an administration level mistake,” one staff member said. “And all of us feel like we’re paying the price for that mistake.” “You’re paying the price of an increase all at once,” Weaver explained. “What (Kevin) Bowman was saying is that there should have been increases all along and there weren’t.” The administration board will not be affected by these insurance fee increases, but they are affected in other ways, according to board member Matt Driscoll. “My deductible is $15,000 and it cost me $20,000. Thanks to Obamacare it doubled,” Driscoll told the audience. “So if I collect anything, how much do I spend? $37,000. I don’t make much more than you guys. I understand the pain, but you guys at least have a deductible. I don’t. I have through that $37.000 before I get money back. I pay for every doctor’s visit, every prescription, everything.” Southwood Junior High School teacher Lindsey Morris asked the board why should the teachers and staff return to MSD of Wabash County instead of seeking other job opportunities elsewhere. “Why do we want you to come back? We need you,” Board member Todd Dazey said. “Not because of the numbers of how many people are we going to

NIPSCO to begin inspecting infrastructure By The Paper staff Today, NIPSCO is announcing plans to begin work on a natural gas project in Wabash as part of the company’s long-term infrastructure modernization plan to upgrade the utility’s gas and electric system. Beginning on Monday, NIPSCO and contractors from Utility Resource Group (URG) will begin work to upgrade and inspect all of the gas service and main lines in the City of Wabash to ensure their future safety and reliability. Several crews, including NIPSCO and URG, will walk throughout the city to complete survey work. Disruptions to gas

service are not expected. Crews also will go door to door to ensure there are no gas leaks. Potential lane closures on some roadways may occur, and signage will be posted to alert drivers. If you notice a natural gas odor, immediately take the following actions: Get out of your home or business immediately From a safe place, call NIPSCO to report the leak at our emergency number: 1-800-634-3524 Remain outside until NIPSCO can send someone to check on the source of the odor The project is expected to last 10 days, weather permitting.

have to replace. I don’t care about that. I’m talking about the number of quality people we’d have to replace. … I don’t want to see any of you leave. … We need you because of your quality, not because of your quantity.” However, at the end of the meeting, there was still unrest among the audience members, several whispers of “Did we accomplish anything just now?” Educator Amy

Stearley told the board, “I would venture to guess that I speak for many people in this room when I say that it would go a long way in showing a united front between administration and teachers if they were feeling the same pain that we are feeling. I don’t expect them to take away my pain but I expect them to be willing not to ask me to do something that they’re not willing to do themselves.”

THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

NORTH MANCHESTER — Volunteers are needed for the annual Eel River Clean-Up, which works to clear the waterway in the North Manchester area each fall. It begins at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 19. Because glass and rusted items litter the riverbed, all crew members must be adults. The organization provides gloves, trash bags and drinking water. Volunteers will need to bring tennis shoes or boots they don’t mind getting wet – absolutely no sandals. Crews will be trudging through water that is waisthigh or higher and will need to be on the lookout for poison ivy, which hugs the shore-

line. Bring bug spray. Volunteers will be working in the river, filling boats with trash as they walk d o w n s t r e a m . Participants are urged to wear clothes suited to the work and remove cell phones or jewelry before starting. Volunteers will gather at the North M a n c h e s t e r W a s t e w a t e r Treatment Plant, 510 S. Maple St. They’ll begin with some quick lessons in safety and river quality. Afterward, about noon, workers will find a light lunch waiting, donated and served by Rotary Club of North Manchester. Registration is required and participants must sign a release form. To register or get more information, contact

M a n c h e s t e r University Professor Jerry Sweeten at 260982-5307 or email him at jesweeten@manchester.edu Initially funded by a $1 million Clean Water Act Grant, the Initiative is led by M a n c h e s t e r U n iv e r s i t y ’ s Environmental Studies Program along with a coalition of agencies and individuals who are determined to improve water quality, enhance recreation and promote conservation of natural resources in the middle Eel River watershed. This project has been funded wholly or in part by the United States Environmental Protection Agency under an assistance agreement to the Indiana Department

Center for History features Don Bechtold collection By The Paper staff

NORTH MANCHESTER — The North Manchester Center for History will host an exhibit of 23 detailed scale model wagons and their hitches that farmer and hobbyist Don Bechtold has loaned to the museum. The models include everything from circus wagons, to old time farm vehicles, to show hitches, each with accurate scale model horses and liveries. Nine models are in the front windows, the rest inside. Visitors marvel at their accurate detail. Bechtold began his hobby in the late 1960s. He said he threw away his first three attempts, but gradually honed his skills as a woodcarver. He buys the model horses he uses, but reshapes them into the stance he wishes to create. He paints them accurately to represent draft horses—Clydesdales, P e r c h e r o n s , Haflingers and Belgians. Some of the tools of his trade are oven, soldering iron, hacksaw, copper tubing and paint. Bechtold grew up with horses and began his hobby as a result of showing Haflinger draft ponies at the Indiana State Fair. The sixhorse hitches and show wagons in the collection come from that experience. He also took ponies to the Milwaukee Circus Parade for several years, which inspired the model circus wagons on display.

A close-up look at one of the circus wagons in the Don Bechtold collection. Photo provided

Don Bechtold shows off the display at the North Manchester Center for History. Photo provided Some of the most interesting models are old time farm wagons hauling hay, logs, ice and corn. Bechtold created them from memory. He says the most frequent question he is asked is how he designs his models. “It’s all from childhood memories,“ , “I remember how it was, I know what they looked like.” Bechtold has lived on area farms all his life, first east of Huntington, next in Roann, then south of Laketon, and finally east of Salem church. The family rented, and finally bought the Salem farm. Don now lives on 80 acres he bought “three miles from my dad’s place.” In some cases, he loses track of time and finds himself working away until the early hours of the morning. Bechtold finds it hardly surprising how time

flies when he’s doing what he loves. “I started my last sixhorse hitch on New Year’s Day. I kept track of the hours this time. It ended up being 193 hours.”

Bechtold continues to create the detailed horses and wagons in his spare time. He says he does not plan to sell them, but to give them to close associates and to his

children and relatives. Meanwhile, the community can enjoy them on display as a long-term loan to the Center for History. Regular hours for the Center for History, 122 E. Main St., are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The Center is open to the public with free admission during North Manchester’s Harvest Festival on Saturday, Sept. 26, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. 333 0(%&/0./&+(&/&./-.&/14 $-+

NORTH MANCHESTER — M a n c h e s t e r University has again been named the “Best Value” in Indiana among regional colleges by the U.S. News

college guide also declared Manchester a “Best in the Midwest.” “We are honored to be a perennial on such

rankings,” said President Dave McFadden. “They are a reflection of Manchester’s marketsmart and mission-

driven strategy that puts students first.” M a n c h e s t e r University passed the 1,500-student mark for the first time in its history this year. Manchester offers a Triple Guarantee to students – including guaranteed access to financial aid, guaranteed graduation in four years or less and guaranteed job or grad school placement within six months of graduation. The University’s 10year average for employment/graduate school placement is higher than 95 percent. Most Manchester students graduate in four years – an increasing number in three – which accelerates their earning potential and keeps student loan debt in check. “High school students and their families are invited to see for themselves what makes Manchester so great, at fall Spartan Days in October and November,” said Adam Hohman, assistant vice president for enrollment and marketing. They’ll get a campus tour, lunch, financial aid session and talk with faculty, coaches and admissions experts. Friday visitors can sit in on a class.
