Vanderpool tabbed for judge’s post By Eric Christiansen echrisitansen@nmpaper.com
Gov. Eric J. Holcomb Thursday, April 11, announced Benjamin D. Vanderpool as his appointment to the Wabash County Superior Court. He will succeed Judge Amy Conner Cornell who passed away Feb. 19. Vanderpool, a Wabash native, has been in private practice in Wabash and
Warsaw since graduating law school. He earned his Bachelor of Science from Purdue University and his law degree from Thomas M. Cooley Law School. “This came about very quickly after Judge Cornell passed away,” Vanderpool said. “They opened up applications March 4, I believe. “It has all happened very, very quickly. Everything is going to change, there is no doubt about that.”
Vanderpool was born in Wabash in 1984 and admitted to the bar in 2011. He is a member of Phi Alpha Delta, Indiana State Bar Association, American Bar Association, and Indiana Public Defenders Counsel. The next month will be a busy one for Vanderpool. Vanderpool said he is currently in the process of going through cases he has now with current clients, seeing whether
or not they want their files or can transfer them to either his father, Daniel J. Vanderpool, or brother, Isaiah P. Vanderpool, with whom he also works. “I’ll coordinate with (Wabash Circuit Court) Judge (Robert R.) McCallen as far as swearing in and just trying to get up and running with that,” Vanderpool said. “My goal is to be 30 day or less transitioned to that spot.”
Property tax bills contain error
Little Norse program earns honor By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com
By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The recently mailed Wabash County property tax bills have an error on them, Wabash County Treasurer LuAnn Layman told The Paper of Wabash County on Friday. “We’ve been informed from the (Indianapolis-based) printing company that due to a programming error that the spring receipt mirrors the fall receipt above it,” she said. “We are aware of this discrepancy and are sorry for this inconvenience. The fall payment coupon and receipt are correct.” The spring payment is generally higher than the fall payment, she said, because such things as the solid waste fee, delinquencies and penalties interest. Those figures were included on one part of the bill, but omitted on another. Taxpayers must pay the higher of the two figures, Layman said, noting her office has received numerous calls because of the discrepancy. Taxes are due on May 10, 2019. The Treasurer’s Office will be open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for payment. (continued on page 16)

WCS officials discuss plans By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash City Schools laid out an ambitious plan and timeline for building projects that it hopes to complete in the coming years during a public work session Monday, April 8, at the Honeywell Center’s Legacy Hall. The plan calls for the borrowing of up to $30 million, to be paid off over the course of 20 years, if all of the school district’s projects in fact get off the ground. “We’re just really excited,”
Superintendent Jason Callahan said. “As Wabash City Schools Board of Trustees president Tony Pulley said, ‘We don’t want to be status quo. We want to keep our eyes on the future.’ And, we want to create grand opportunities for our kids, academically, athletically. We feel like these projects will take us into the next several decades and provide us the facilities and space that will allow us to continue to grow – grow kids, grow programming and opportunities for great outcomes.” WCS hopes to accomplish all of these projects without
increasing the tax rate, Callahan explained. “At the same time, we recognize that we need to be fiscal stewards of the tax dollar,” he said. “And, so our goal in all these projects is to maintain that tax rate. So, we would be able to raise those funds as previous debt comes off the books and not have an impact on the tax rate.” The building projects were laid out in seven phases, not necessarily in order of importance, Callahan explained.

LAGRO – Officials from Visit Wabash County and the Town of Lagro dedicated the town’s new gateway sign. Visit Wabash County continues to focus on ways to improve and increase the county’s gateways, signage, and interpretation in an effort to cross promote the county and introduce visitors to its unique areas. Their most recent project was the installment of two signs in Lagro located on U.S. 24, and Blue Star Highway 524. “A renaissance is taking place in the Town of Lagro,” said Christine Flohr, executive director of tourism for Visit Wabash County.
“With the completed transformative community projects partnered with the ongoing downtown development, we identified the need to install call-to-action gateway signage. The signage will encourage vehicular traffic along U.S. 24 and Blue Star Highway 524 to experience Lagro and its unique attractions.” The gateways highlight the natural beauty of the town and hope to attract outdoor enthusiasts, showcasing canoeing, nature trails, and the bike trail. “Gateway signage is the first introduction to a community,” said Flohr. “That is why Visit Wabash County dedicates marketing resources to leverage awareness of the county’s amenities, and gateway sig-

An Aug. 13-14 trial date has been set for a former Vernon Health and Rehabilitation employee who is facing theft charges for allegedly taking $8,000 from the facility. The employee, Shannon Gidley, 40, Wabash, entered a not guilty plea in Wabash Circuit Court to the charge of theft, a Level 6 felony. Gidley was fired from the facility on Jan. 8 and was formally charged on March 29. According to the probable cause affidavit filed by Wabash Police Detective John Krhin: Vernon Manor Executive Director Robin Shull advised police that she and Gidley were the only two employees to have the combination and access to the safe. Shull said that Gidley allegedly had receipts totaling $1,403.60 taken from the residents’ accounts, and that the residents had not received the money. She also told police that Gidley was in charge of the facility’s petty cash fund, and that $400 was allegedly missing from it, as well as $250 from a second petty cash fund. Shull, according to the affidavit, also advised that she noticed that several charges to the Walmart card that were not legitimate purchases. Further investigation showed that two purchases had been made in Oklahoma. Shull advised that
Gidley had visited her mother in Oklahoma over the holidays. Shull also advised that a transaction was made in Kokomo on Dec. 24, 2018, for $872.32, but that Vernon employees with access to the card only make purchases at the Wabash Walmart. She further advised that two purchases were made at the Walmart in Marion on Jan. 7, 2019, for the total of $1,784.02. In all, authorities found a total of 17 transactions on the Walmart account that Gidley allegedly signed for, as far back as October 27, 2017, totaling $6,002.69. Including missing money from the resident accounts in the safe and the two petty cash funds, the total amount missing was said to be $8,056.29. According to the affidavit, when interviewed by Khrin, Gidley admitted to taking $240 from a resident account at Vernon Health and Rehabilitation. She also allegedly admitted to completing the transactions in Oklahoma, as well as the transactions in Marion, and to making purchases at the Kokoko Walmart in December. Gidley, according to the affidavit, advised authorities that she had financial trouble and started using the card for personal items starting in the summer of 2018.

Another change for Vanderpool concerns his duties as a member of the Manchester Community Schools Board of School Trustees. I n d i a n a Constitution does not allow a person to hold two elected positions at the same time. “I will not be able to continue with the school board,” Vanderpool said. “I’ve talked with (Board President) Ruth (Ayers) and I’ve been in contact with Mark
Frantz, the school attorney. For the time being, I’m still there, and my hope is I can help them finish the next round of the superintendent search because I know we are doing interview [this] week. “So far, what I’ve heard from Mark is [I’ll] just continue asis, and he’ll let me know if he hears anything different.” Until he is sworn it, Vanderpool is taking everything in and preparing himself for his next chapter. “I’m excited.

trict would use $2 million for projects such as improved lighting, bathroom partitions at O.J. N e i g h b o u r s Elementary School, gym floor upgrades at O.J. Neighbours, a new fence for the Wabash High School softball field, lighting at the L.H. Carpenter Center, and new windows at the L.H. Carpenter Center. About $3.88 million would be used for expansion of the L.H. Carpenter Center, which was previously used as the school’s administrative offices. The plan calls for the addition of six to eight classrooms at L.H. Carpenter, so that the district could move its kindergarten classes over to the center to go along with its already-existing pre-kindergarten programming. The plan also calls for upgrading the HVAC systems at the center, and renova-
tions to the multi-purpose space and the addition of playground space. About $1.5 million of the funds would go towards upgrades to Alumni Field and the surrounding track and field facilities. The plan calls for increasing the amount of lanes on the track from six to eight, and the addition of synthetic turf to the football field playing surface. The installation of turf would allow for the space to be utilized by the school’s band, soccer, and unified sports programs, as well as Special Olympics and physical education classes. Further, the plan calls for a $3.88 million expansion to C o o l m a n Gymnasium. That expansion would include the building of new locker rooms to become ADA and Title IX complaint, as well as expanded bleachers

The most ambitious part of the plan was a $12 million project which would combine Wabash High School with Wabash Middle School. In that space, a 10,000 to 12,000-foot media center would be created, which would allow the schools to combine services with the Wabash Carnegie Library in a joint effort. The plan would allow the middle school and high school offices to be combined, with the hope of being able to house Ivy Tech’s programs in the space, as well. In addition, the plan calls for the upgrade of all HVAC systems across the
district over the next 10 years, a project which would cost $6 million. And lastly, two solar projects at the middle school/high school and O.J. Neighbours would pay for themselves with the anticipated savings in utility costs. The deferred maintenance projects, the district hopes, will begin in the summer of 2019. In the fall of 2019, the district hopes to begin the L.H. Carpenter expansion, as well as the Alumni Field and solar projects. Then in the spring/summer of 2020, the solar projects would be wrapping up, while the Coolman Gym expansion and project to connect the schools would begin, as well as some of the HVAC work. The plan is to hopefully have the L.H. Carpenter expansion completed by the fall of 2020.

Wireless Zone opens By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Wireless Zone, an authorized Verizon retailer, has opened in Wabash. The business is the third franchise owned by Brian and Rachel McMeeking. “Rachel, she’s from Wabash,” McMeeking said. “We opened about 10 years ago. We had plans to grow, but slowly.” The couple first opened a site in Columbia City, followed two years later by one in Fort Wayne. “We had made mention to Verizon that if this area ever came open, we would like to locate here,” McMeeking continued. “It took a long time, because they were looking at actually buying the rights to open here. “A couple of months back we were given the opportunity, so we thought it would be the best thing to do for our company.” The store opened March 8, according to Mrs. McMeeking. It is located at 1465 N. Cass St, in the Wabash Crossing. The store is a premium retailer of Verizon and a franchisee of Wireless Zone. “We offer Verizon’s products and services,” McMeeking said. “Smart phones, basic phones, mobile broadband service, tablets, wearables. Basically, the whole selection that Verizon offers.”
One of the biggest questions customers have asked, he said, is about Verizon’s coverage area. “With them taking over U.S. Cellular’s towers, the area is pretty well covered,” McMeeking said. Mrs. McMeeking added, “The plan is over the next year to just fill in the spots, add more towers and kind of fill in the gaps. When Verizon bought the territory they bought Fulton County, Peru and Wabash County as well. It’s the slow areas and they’re slowly working on filling in the gaps in those areas.” Long-term plans, McMeeking said, is to build a store somewhere in the community. The couple plans to become involved in the Wabash
Community. The business has already joined Grow Wabash County. “Another thing with us is giving back to the community,” McMeeking said, noting that in August the firm will host a backpack give-away. It also plans to host a pet adoption day in the future, and helps annually with the Toys for Tots campaign. The store employs four people, and McMeeking said he plans to be at the store a couple of days each week. The store is open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Born and raised in Wabash County, Mrs. McMeeking is the former Rachel Adams, a 2002 graduate of Northfield High School.

Chili for Charity committee accepting funding applications By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Applications are now being accepted by the Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity Chili Cook-off from non-profit agencies interested in receiving funds from the 17th annual cookoff in October. Application forms are available on the committee’s webpage, chiliforcharity.com, and are due back by May 15. They are being accepted online only, committee chair Todd Titus said. “We’ve had as many as 40 (applicants),” he
said of groups seeking funding. “I think last year we’ve had 25 or 30.” Last year the committee donated a combined $41,000 to 15 local agencies. In its 16 years, it has donated more than $550,000 to local agencies. The number of groups the committee helps annually varies. “We look over the applications and we go through them and see what’s there, as far as the different groups,” Titus said. “Some groups are small. Some have less need than others. We don’t set a certain number.
“Obviously we can’t fund everybody because of the amount of money we receive.” Deciding on recipients is the hardest job the committee faces each year, he believes. “Everybody that submits has a need for funds,” he said. “They’re all good needs.” The cook-off will take place Saturday, Oct. 19, at the Paradise Spring Historic Park. Cooking will begin shortly after 8 a.m., and tasting will take place at noon.

Mindy Mays (second from right) chats with students at the Access Learning Academy as part of the “Prepare for Your Future Career” program. Photo by Joseph Slacian
Academy students get life skill lessons By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Students at the Access Learning Academy are getting lessons to help prepare them for the future, thanks in part to the Purdue Cooperative Extension Office in Wabash County. Mindy Mays, Extension Educator – Health & Human Services, visits the academy on Wednesdays to discuss with the students a variety of life skills including such things as goal setting, accountability, money management, career planning and more. On April 10, she discussed interviewing skills with six youngsters who chose to participate in the program. During the discussion, she asked the students to give her up to three words – which she called “I statements” — to describe themselves. Everyone, Mays told the students, has positive traits and that the students need to express them during interviews. She then broke the students into groups, where they conducted mock job interviews. This is the first year such a program has taken place at the Access Learning Academy. “I think life skills are important for everyone,” Mays told The Paper of Wabash County.
“I don’t always see that they are listening, but I know they are. “We have to meet people. We have to talk with people. Just having that one ‘I statement’ can be an opener. We practiced on I statements that they can use to open up the conversation a little bit more.” There are 10 lessons in the curriculum, called “Prepare for Your Future Career.” Academy Director Laura Helm said she loves when outside individuals come to the facility to work with the students. “It helps the kids hear things from a lot of different people,” she said. “We’re pretty limited down here, so we appreciate all of the groups that come in to share with them, to teach them and to work with them. “I think, too, it helps the kids know there are other adults who will listen to them. We want all of our students to be exposed to as many different resources as we can get our hands on.” The Access Learning Academy is an educational partnership between Wabash City Schools and the Access Youth Center, 74 W. Market St. It is design as an alternative school program for those students struggling in a traditional classroom setting. Students enrolled in the academy earn credits toward graduation from Wabash City Schools.

THE WEEKLY ISAAC-ISM: “I have always appreciated the phase; ‘do the next right thing’. We all have times when we are challenged with a decision to make that may result in the right thing, or possibly the not so right thing. We all have been there, human nature can allow us to make decisions that we factor our own personal best interests in, which may or may not be the right thing. So, when you are at a crossroads on what to do, just think of that phrase; ‘do the next right thing’. For example, in the sport of tennis you call your opponents shot in or out. You actually have the power to decide if you win the point or lose it. Getting the call correct is the focus, not if you win or lose the point. Ethically, you are required to make the right call even though it may result in a negative result for yourself. Thus, when you are at a crossroads on what to do, just remember you have the opportunity to do the next right thing.” PLEASE EMAIL YOUR NEWS AND INFORMATION TO: Isaac.Triplett@yahoo. com, or call me at 260274-2261.

Great perennial divide By Leesa Metzger Most gardeners have a spring ritual that includes walking their garden in search of emerging plants. We begin to get an idea of which plants have expanded well beyond their borders. The quick use of a sharp spade now is better than attempting the eradication of a fullblown invasion later. Thus, it is time for the great perennial divide! April is the time to divide perennials for many reasons: plants have outgrown their space; plants aren’t doing well in that site because of sun, shade or moisture requirements; plants got way too big; flowers were not the color you anticipated; or maybe you have decided it would look so much better in another spot. Or maybe you just feel like digging. Remember the adage: “Every good garden has been in a wheelbarrow at least three times.” Dividing can be an invigorating process for plants in which the center tends to die out. Some such as yarrow, aster, perennial sunflower, obedient plant and black-eyed Susan perform better if they are divided every few years to keep them in bounds. April is an ideal time to move/divide most perennials. However, peonies should be divided only in September. Bearded irises are divided in July and August. Plants that form underground rhizomes or multiple crowns are easy to divide. Everyone has their favorite method of dividing perennials and their favorite implement of destruction. I prefer a small sharp spade to divide large clumps. Shove the spade into the soil on the outside of the planting and continue around in the size of sections you want. I often have to jump on the
spade to get through thick stems. . Some gardeners prefer digging around the clump and using two garden forks to pull the clump apart. Divisions can be as large as you want, but four-inch diameter sections work well for LEESA METZGER most plants. Smaller divisions may not bloom as well for a couple of years. The whole clump does not have to be lifted. Sections from the outside of the planting can be removed to reduce the size of the planting or to leave the mother plant intact. For many perennial plants the most vigorous shoots are on the outside of the clump. This method works well for space invaders such as beebalm, mint and anything that spreads by runners to form a colony (or in the case of mint, its own country). Some plants such as daylilies, catmint, and astilbe have more of a central crown. Dig out the whole plant and make divisions using a spade or garden knife or in the case of ornamental grasses an axe works well. Replant divisions immediately, plant into pots, heel into a pile of moist mulch for planting later or put on your neighbor’s doorstep. Be sure to water plants thoroughly after replanting. Before replanting, amend soil with compost if needed. Most perennials do not flower as well the year they are divided, so don’t be discouraged. Some plants do not like to be moved or divided. These include baby’s breath, old fashioned bleeding heart, balloon flower, (continued on page 10)
Storybook walk could be coming to local trail By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A new feature could be coming to a City of Wabash park. But the big question is, what park will it be in? Officials from the Wabash Carnegie Public Library broached with the Wabash Board of Parks and Recreation creating a storybook walk in one of the parks. While board members liked the idea, there is not yet a consensus on which park to locate the walk. A storybook walk consists of a series of posts with a display in which a page from a storybook is featured. The concept behind the project is to entice families with young children to stroll through the walk and read each page from the storybook. When the walk is finished, the book will have been read. Families are then encouraged to visit their local library to look for more storybooks. Polly Howell, Youth Services librarian, and Park Superintendent Adam Hall discussed possible locations before she and Library Director Ware Wimberly III presented to the board. Hall suggested the trail at O.J. Neighbours Elementary School or the new trail near Parkview Wabash Hospital. “I don’t really think that a storybook trail at the hospital isn’t going to attract people,” Howell said. “The one at O.J. Neighbours would be better than the hospital, but I guess I’m just afraid it doesn’t get very much traffic either. Of the two choices, I like
that one better.” However, she said, she would rather see it somewhere where kids would be. Hall said library officials first suggested the Wabash River Walk trail. “It’s a nice location,” he said, adding that he thought the amount of use it receives from walkers, runners and bicyclists would make it harder for families to stop and read storybooks. They also suggested the new Inclusive Park, but Hall thought it might pose a safety problem because closeness to the playground equipment. Board president Brian Campbell asked how many posts are needed and how far apart are they to be located. Howell said it is suggested to located the posts 40 paces apart, and most storybooks have 32 pages, so about 17 posts would be needed. The storybook would be replaced about once per month. Board member Kerri Mattern asked if there wasn’t a way to place the posts along the outside area of the Inclusive Park, just off of Carroll Street. Campbell also noted that that area is already a part of the city’s trail system. “I just think that’s an ideal location,” Mattern said. “Not only are you getting the Inclusive Park traffic, but you’re getting kids from the Y. … I just think we should be more open minded.” Board members suggested library officials check out the outside of the Inclusive Park to see if it would fit their need. Campbell also suggested board members check the site as well.

VIEWPOINT The Electoral College
Vaping adds to dilemma today’s teenagers face Dear Editor: There are a variety of issues today’s teens may face on a day-to-day basis – bullying, social media use, mental health, substance abuse, and relationships to name a few. Today there is even a more recent issue facing teens across the nation. Teen use of e-cigarettes, often referred to as “vaping” or “JUULING,” is a growing risk that is infiltrating the social norm of their day. Just 7 years ago, e-cigarettes were relatively unknown; but today, teens are seeing them used in high school bathrooms and classrooms, at parties, and in social media. In 2017, just over one in 10 high school students currently used an e-cigarette; now it is one in 5. That is more than 3 million kids, and after several years of decline, overall tobacco use is up, largely due to the rising popularity of e-cigarettes. Additionally, many teens do not view these products as harmful and some are not even aware that most e-cigarettes contain nicotine, highlighting the need for a targeted effort to educate youth about the dangers of teen use of e-cigarettes. Not only does e-cigarette use come with risks of its own, but research has also shown that youth who vape are more likely to start smoking combustible cigarettes, despite their wellknown and often-deadly health consequences such as lung cancer and heart disease. “We will take whatever action is necessary to stop youth e-cigarette use from
continuing to build and to ensure young e-cigarette users don’t become future smokers,” FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said about the agency’s imperative to confront the youth e-cigarette epidemic. No kids should be using any tobacco product, and federal law prohibits tobacco sales to those under 18. The agency has ramped up enforcement efforts related to e-cigarette marketing and sales, and in November 2018, the concerning findings from the 2018 Nicotine Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS)
Dear Editor: Recently, there have been a number of suggestions that the Electoral College should be replaced by a computation of the total popular vote in the election of the president. I pass along four personal experiences and three other reports that make me doubt the advisability of switching to direct popular vote. In 1955, when the elder Richard Daley first ran for mayor of Chicago, I was hired by the opposition Robert Merriam (Independent/Republ ican endorsed) to check the voter registration rolls – “short job; maybe two days,” I was told. I was given a voter list and sent to a neighborhood about 2000 South. It was a much shorter job than predicted. I found a few vacant buildings that permitted me to identify addresses. All the rest were vacant lots where buildings had been torn down. There was not a single resident – just a lot of prospective Democratic votes. In 1958, my father was the Democrat on the three0man county election board in Wabash County. When the ballots were turned in, one rural district turned in more Republican absentee ballots than there were registered voters in the district. When my father pointed out the discrepancy, he was outvoted, 2-1. The certified local results were then certified by the Republican Secretary of State. Upon complaint to the U.S. House of
youth e-cigarette use data prompted FDA to outline a policy framework focused on addressing youth appeal of, and access to, flavored tobacco products, which appear to be at the heart of the youth tobacco use problem. Just remember, there is no safe form of tobacco use and nicotine delivery systems. We need to do whatever we can to keep our youth from starting and take measures to prevent any source of influence to affect them. – Dan Gray, Executive Director, Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition

Representatives, the House refused to seat the certified incumbent, John Beamer, and seated his opponent, Ed Roush, instead. During the same years, my mother was a precinct committeeman in Wabash. She described going to the two nursing homes to get absentee ballots for and later “voting” elderly known Democrats who were not up to casting their own votes. Perhaps this may now be called “harvesting.” In the mid- ‘60s, the cook at my fraternity at the University of Chicago (I had remained active as an alumni adviser) told me she wouldn’t be serving lunch on election day and explained that she would be a Republican election judge at her local precinct. When I expressed surprise at her party affiliation, she further explained that “there were no Republicans available to serve” in her precinct so Democrats got the STATE OF INDIANA
jobs. In the 1960 Presidential election, Mayor Dale, who was also the Democratic County chair, held back all the Chicago votes until all the rest of the state had reported, and then reported the Chicago votes with a large enough Kennedy majority to swing the state total from Nixon to Kennedy. In the past election cycle, a new congressional election has been ordered in North Carolina because last November’s election had to be voided. In George, the defeated gubernatorial candidate continues to argue that the election, in which the other candidate supervised the election was the incumbent Secretary of State, was invalid. If the Electoral College is abandoned and the national popular vote determines the presidency, there will be good reason to cheat in every precinct in the country. – James W. “Jim” Vice, Wabash

Superior Court judge’s chamber to be painted By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com
MU students’ campaign focuses on alcohol use From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER — M a n c h e s t e r U n iv e r s i t y ’ s Advanced Public Relations class has created a health camp a i g n called #Don’tBeIt that is intended to educate students and others about misconceptions surrounding alcohol use. They would like to invite the North
Manchester community to their main event from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 23, outside the Funderburg Library on the Mall. As the class members researched the biggest health concerns for college students, alcohol misuse and abuse was at the top of the list. They found that if these concerns remain unchecked, those problems often continued later in life.
The event will include activities intended to teach proper portion sizes and ways to understand how much money is spent on alcohol. There will also be face painting, food and live music from Fog Delay, a band from Columbia City. The rain location will be in the upper level of the Jo Young Switzer Center. This event is part of
the Values, Ideas and Arts program at M a n c h e s t e r University. Students organizing the campaign are David Alvarez, Tiffany Byers, Katie Doehrmann, Tanner Edge, Max Etter, Karloine Flower, Nizhoni Rhoads and Courtney Zentz under the direction of Dr. Gabriela Morales, assistant professor of health communication.
Superior Court Judge Pro Tempore Karen Springer was on hand at the Monday, April 15 Wabash County Commissioners meeting to request that the judge’s chambers receive a new paint job. The walls were not painted prior to Judge Amy Cornell moving in. Springer presented two estimates for the paint job. The Commissioners approved a bid from Dave’s Painting for $775. Lighthouse Mission board of directors member Dean Stouffer asked the commissioners to sponsor an application for an OCRA grant as the Mission looks to relocate.
The Commissioners said they would be the lead applicant for the grant, and asked that the Lighthouse Mission keep them informed on the progress. County Highway Superintendent John Martin presented a request from MSD of Wabash County to repair a school bus turnaround at 616 East County Road 350 South. Martin also presented a road cut permit from Andrew Bolinger, to cut across County Road 800 North about 2,500 feet west of State Road 13. Martin was also granted permission to attend the Indiana Association of County Highway Engineer Supervisors Conference June 5 and 6 in Indianapolis. Martin notified Commissioners that the sprinkler system
at the Roann Covered Bridge has sprung several leaks, and the main piping that supplies water to the sprinkler heads will need to be replaced. The estimated repair cost is said to be $8,900. Commissioners approved the repairs to proceed. Wabash County Sheriff Chief Deputy Tyler Guenin delivered the weekly jail report. The average daily population over the last week was 121 inmates, with 29 new bookings and 13 transports. There were 54 prisoners housed in Miami County and 11 Elkhart County. The jail’s peak population was 126. The population as of Monday was 121 inmates, counting for a total of 179 prisoners.

Comedian to perform at Honeywell By the Paper staff Tim Hawkins will once again tickle the funny bone of all his audience members at the Honeywell Center Ford Theater at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 26. H a w k i n s entertains the entire family. With 300,000,000 video views, more than 100 sold-out concerts
every year, and a half million Facebook fans, Tim’s Jackwagon Crew has grown into a gutbusting revolution of multi-g enerational proportions. While his stand-up is riotous, fans are often more amazed at his singing voice and guitar chops. Since giving up his job as a grocery truck
driver in 2002, Hawkins has forged a “no-bones, no-bull” comedy experience that entertains the entire family. His approach to comedy can best be described as one part gifted and two parts twisted. His stand-up is surgical and honed to perfection, bringing to light the brokenness of human nature while
marveling in its hilarity. “If you can’t laugh at yourself, laugh at other people,” he believes. His musical dexterity and knack for parody stand on their own, as he deftly rattles off everything from Dylan to Aldean to brilliantly weird original songs. C o r p o r a t e

WVMA hosts Honors Band, Choir
The Wabash Valley Music Association celebrated another huge success with the annual Wabash County Honors Band and Choir Concert that took place on Friday, March 8 at 7:30 p.m. Originated through the WVMA’s educational efforts, the Honors Band and Choir has continued to be a successful annual tradition for 45 years. This annual event is sponsored in part by the Howard M. Garver Endowment, and the Larry and Anne Garver Curless Endowment for Honors Band and Choir. Talented choral and instrumental students from each high school in Wabash County, including Wabash, N o r t h f i e l d , Southwood and Manchester, were chosen to practice and perform together
at this annual concert. Each year, this event provides students who have excelled in music education the opportunity to work and perform with professional guest conductors and directors. Participation broadens the students’ experience and allows them to see how different music leaders work and convey their expectations. Directing the honors choir this year was Dr. Andrew Crow, director of choral activities at Ball State University. Dr. Crow received the 2017 Mayor’s Arts Award for Arts Leadership in the Muncie community. Jonathan Sweet, assistant professor of bands at Purdue University, conducted band students. In addition to his teaching experience, Sweet has a marching band design and
consultation business, Sweet Marching. The Honors Band and Choir Concert is important to Wabash County because it uplifts the musical and artistic talent of high school students in our county. Through this program, the WVMA provides artistic exposure and enrichment to area students. Expected outcomes include students’ enhanced appreciation for artistic and educational enrichment and the opportunity to “shine,” which in turn is hoped to serve as an incentive for other students to pursue and/or excel in a field of music whether it be playing a musical instrument or singing in the choir. Students who participated in the Honors Choir this year were Logan Arnold, Abbey
Baggett, Alex Baggett, Madeline Bailey, Teri Beachler, Jessie Bunnell, Alexis Burton, Jobe Carroll, Aryelle Coburn, Micah Dale, Nina Daugherty, Cage DuBois, Carissa Edwards, Maggie France, Rebekah Freeman, Jared Harner, Ethan Haynes, Marcus Haynes, Quinn Haynes, Addy Hershberger, Ben Hewitt, Kaitlynn Higgins, Mackenzie Hoefer, Sarah Holbrook, Victoria Holloway, Karen Jimenez, Jordan Jones, Isaac King, Camille Kugler, Corinne Kugler, Sydney Lester, Maddie Lester, Logan Luttrell, Morgan Mallow, Hannah Miller, Ellie Proebstle, Erin Proebstle, Rebekah Pyle, Sam Reichenbach, Braden Ripplinger, Isabelle Robinson, Brenden

DAR has April meeting Article provided The monthly meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter of the Daughters of the A m e r i c a n Revolution (DAR) took place on Tuesday, April 10, at the North Manchester Center for History, North Manchester. Guests were Kathleen Nave, South Whitley, Pat King, Buffalo, New York, and Elizabeth Moore, Andrews. The meeting opened with the DAR ritual. Devotions were “You Can Be Happy” from Guidepost 2008. The April President General’s message from Ann Turner Dillon was shared by Joyce Joy. The DAR Museum’s quilt exhibit, “A Piece of Her Mind: Culture and Technology in American Quilts” is now open. The exhibit explores how women in the 19th century created quilts that reflected their makers’ involvement in the world around them. The National Defender Report was on how “Hackers Gain Access to Sensitive Military
Data” given by Nancy Tiger. Over the past 18 months, hackers from other nations have carried out numerous cybersecurity breaches to gain access to Navy data and plans, in what is considered “some of the most debilitating cyber campaigns.” These hackers have infiltrated U.S. Navy contractor networks, prompting the Navy secretary to order a cybersecurity review. Previously stolen data includes that of the highest tech, classified military data from small and large Navy contractors alike. The Indian Committee Minute was about the Fort Wayne City Council’s approval of Resolution R-19-02-12 establishing July 16 as “Mad” Anthony Wayne Day on every year hereafter. The Miami Indian Tribe’s Fort Wayne office, finds the resolution has erroneous and inaccurate information. The Conservation Minute was “Why We Need the Endangered Species Act.” The Flag Minute was the live
television coverage allowing the world to watch Apollo 11 Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin raise the American flag on the surface of the moon 20 July 1969. The program was presented by Barbara Amiss on the North Manchester Dr. Manasseh Cutler Chapter organized in 1939 and disbanded in November 2000. The next meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter will be on May 14 at the Grandstaff-Hentgen Activity Room, 1241 Wabash Ave., Wabash. Prospective members and guests are always welcome to attend. DAR membership is open to any woman 18 years of age, who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the A m e r i c a n Revolution. Those having questions about their family history lineage information may contact www.dar.org or Linda Thompson at 260-563-4661 or Barbara Amiss at 260-982-4376.

Lady Squires tennis team wins By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com
NORTH MANCHESTER — The Manchester girls tennis team continued to show its county and conference dominance with a 5-0 win over Wabash Thursday, April 11. Despite two long battles in doubles play, the singles matches were never in doubt for the Squires. Manchester’s Kelsey Eichenauer defeated with Wabash’s Brooke Irgang at No.1-singles 6-0, 6-1 to give Manchester a 1-0 lead.
Squire sophomore Halle Briner also had an easy time with the Apaches’ Bella Carrillo 6-1, 6-1 at No.2-singles, while Eva Bazzoni clinched the team win for Manchester at No.3-singles with a 6-3, 6-0 win over Isabelle France. Manchester’s fourth point came from the No.1-doubles team of Anna Osborne and Halie Wampler who defeated Haley Miller and Camille Kugler 7-5, 6-4. In the tightest match of the night at No.2-doubles, Alexa Donathan and Roma Kaur dropped the first set to
Wabash’s Annie Cole and Evelyn Grey 6-4, but rebounded to win the final two sets 6-4, 6-4. After the match, Manchester coach Joel Eichenauer was happy with the win, but looks for improvement from his team. “This match gave us a glimpse of where we need to get better, but also what worked,” he said. “Learning to play in matches like our good practices is key.” Wabash had a better result in the JV match with a 5-1 win over the Squires.

Manchester’s Harley Kruschwitz shot a 2-under par 34 to lead the Squires past county rival Wabash in a 174195 win Wednesday, April 10. Harley Kruschwitz birdied the first and ninth holes and parred the other seven holes for his solid round on a cold and windy evening.
Manchester freshman Owen Kruschwitz shot a solid 39 in his first high school match. After a slow start with bogeys on the first and third holes he parred the fourth and sixth through ninth holes to close out his round. Blayze Shemwell led Wabash with a 44 with pars on the third, seventh, eighth and ninth holes, while Asif Kahn shot a 45 with a birdie on the
third hole and pars on the second and eighth holes. Manchester was rounded out with a 49 from Konrad Borgmann, a 52 from Klayton Hendrix and a 53 from Mathias McLaughlin. For Wabash, Taylor Coffman and Wyatt Davis each shot a 53, and Andrew Dinkins added a 59.
Wabash’s softball squad connected for seven hits in the first inning of its 11-2 win over Blackford on Monday. Sydnee Osborn, Tabatha Wagner, Taylor Mettler, Kelsie Olinger and Whitney Working each had RBIs in the big inning for the Apaches. Wagner toed the rubber for the Apaches, allowing four hits and two runs over seven innings, striking out nine. Hannah Halverson went 3-for-3 at the plate to lead the Apaches in hits. Wabash stole five bases as a team. Then on Tuesday, Apache softball dropped a heartbreaker to Mississinewa 8-6. The game was tied at 6-6 with Mississinewa batting in the top of the seventh when the Indians pushed across the two game-deciding runs. Wabash had 11 hits in the loss. Wagner, Osborn, Kylie Brumley and Whitney Working each collected multiple hits for the Apaches. Wagner went 3-for-4 at the plate to lead the Apaches at the dish. Wagner took the loss in the pitcher’s circle. She lasted seven innings, allowing 11 hits and eight runs while striking out four. Wabash backed that up with a 12-2 win over Marion Friday. The Apaches put up eight runs in the second inning to take control of the contest. Whitney Working, Kylie Brumley, Katie Newman, Alivia Short, Sydnee Osborn and Hannah Halverson each had RBIs in the frame. Working was the winning pitcher for the Apaches. She went four innings, allowing two runs on two hits and striking out five. Wabash closed out the week by sweeping a double header with Southwern Wells, 11-1 and 21-1. In the opener, Wabash notched five runs in the fourth inning. Taylor Mettler had a double in the rally. Wagner took the win in the circle. She went five innings, allowing one run on two hits and struck out six. Osborn went 2-for-3 at the plate to lead the Apaches, and Working added four stolen bases. In the nightcap, Working collected four hits to lead the offense.

Ford shines in USTA tournaments By Isaac Triplett
The sport of tennis has no time clock; one always has the possibility to persevere no matter the score. Perseverance means not giving up easily, if one wants something to happen, keep working at it until accomplishing the goal. Wabash High School senior, Robert Ford, is doing just that. Ford is not only the number one singles player for Wabash High School’s Tennis Team, but he is also excelling in USTA (United States Tennis Association) sanctioned tournaments. Playing in the age group of 16 and under, Ford has reached the finals of all four tournaments he has played in thus far this year. In January he reached the finals of the Wildwood Racquet Club Winter Open and fell just short of winning the championship. In February he reached the finals of the Northern Indiana Wildwood Open and captured the championship without dropping a set during the whole tournament. Then in the month of March he captured the title at the Lucky Shot Tournament in Greentown, also without dropping a set during the tournament. Later in March, Ford found himself in familiar circumstances by taking another title at the Wildwood Racquet Club Spring Open, again without dropping a set in the tournament. The Wildwood Racquet Club tournaments took place in Fort Wayne. All these tournaments are USTA Sanctioned where players are chasing ranking points. As you can guess, Ford’s ranking has been climbing steadily. Ford will face some challenges going into the 18 year old age group. “The competition will be tougher so I need to get better, I will have to improve technically as well as physically,” Ford said. One advantage he will have is improving his game as a left-hander. Only 10 percent of the population are left-handed, this is a huge advantage in the game of tennis. Right-handed players are use to playing other right-handed players, while left- handed players are use to playing right-handed players; righties don’t play against lefties very often. The patterns of play are so different that it is a great advantage to be left-handed in this sport. Also, Ford is an offensive minded player, basically a good characteristic, yet I want him to master controlled aggression. Almost all shots in tennis have some degree of aggression, staying under control and developing patterns of play that are reliable and repeatable under stress is the goal. Ford has expressed his desire to play college tennis.

Parkview president named Sagamore of the Wabash Michael J. Packnett, president and CEO of Parkview Health, was named a Sagamore of the Wabash on Friday, April 11, by Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb. The award was p r e s e n t e d to Packnett by Dave Haist, chairman of the Parkview Health Board of Directors, and John Sampson, president and CEO of the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership, on behalf of Gov. Holcomb at Parkview’s quarterly leadership meeting at the Parkview Mirro Center for Research and Innovation. The Sagamore of the Wabash award is Indiana’s highest civilian honor. It is given to exemplary Hoosiers in recognition of their distinguished statewide service. “Reflecting true
servant leadership, Mike is ‘all in’ in his service and leadership to Parkview and Northeast Indiana,” Sampson said. “His personal commitment to excellence in the health and wellbeing of patients and communities has positioned Parkview Health as a distinguished leader in the economic growth and quality of place of Fort Wayne and our region. It is a privilege to present this award to Mike on behalf of Gov. Holcomb.” “Mike is one of the most respected leaders in the Fort Wayne community,” Gov. Holcomb said. “In particular, his great work addressing the opioid crisis and infant mortality in northeast Indiana has been vital to helping us take our state to the next level.” Packnett is very active in the Fort
Wayne community and serves on several boards throughout the region including Greater Fort Wayne Inc., the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership, the Regional Chamber of Northeast Indiana, M a n c h e s t e r University, Global Leadership Summit, Central Indiana C o r p o r a t e Partnership and the Indiana Hospital Association. He also serves on the American Hospital A s s o c i a t i o n Regional Policy Board of Directors. “On behalf of the Parkview Health Board, Mike is an amazing leader. He exemplifies the culture of Parkview to all critical constituencies: Our patients, boards, teams, leadership, the community and the wider world that touches our communities,” said Haist. “We are blessed to
have Mike leading Parkview and driving his vision for all of our constituencies.” Packnett has a bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Central Oklahoma. He holds a master’s degree in hospital administration from the University of Minnesota. The Sagamore of the Wabash award was created during the term of Indiana Gov. Ralph Gates, who served from 1945 to 1949. The current Indiana governor determines how the award is distributed. The award is considered a personal tribute by a sitting governor, usually bestowed upon those who have rendered a distinguished service to the state.

1869 Tartar Sauce Yolk of one raw egg 1 cup sweet-oil (olive oil) whisked by a slow drizzle until all is added 1 tablespoonful of dry mustard 3 shallots, chopped fine 6 gherkins, also chopped fine 1 tablespoonful of ravigote (chervil, tarragon, and parsley) chopped 1 small pinch of Cayenne pepper Mix all together; and serve. Adapted from The Royal Cookery Book, Jules Gouffe, translated by Alphonse Gouffe [Sampson Low, Son and Marston:London] 1869 (p. 67-68)
Delightful “Dill” Tartar Sauce 1 cup mayonnaise 1 1/2 tablespoons dill pickle relish 1 tablespoon chopped onion 1 tablespoon capers (optional) 1 tablespoon lemon juice In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, dill pickle relish, onion, capers (if using) and lemon juice. Stir to combine. Cover and let rest at least two hours in refrigerator before serving. Approximate servings per recipe: 8. Nutrition per serving: Calories 119; Fat 9g. (sat.1.5g); Sodium 264 mg; Potassium 8 mg; Carbohydrates 8g; Sugars 3g; Protein 1g.
Old Style “Sweet” Tartar Sauce 1/4 cup sweet relish 1 cup mayonnaise 1 teaspoon yellow mustard 1/2 lemon, juiced Salt and pepper, to taste In a small dish, strain relish and discard juices. In a separate bowl, combine strained relish with mayonnaise, mustard and lemon juice. Stir thoroughly then add salt and pepper to taste. Approximate servings per recipe: 8.

Flavorful Fish Taco Sauce 1/2 cup reduced fat sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt) 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/2 lime, room temperature 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1/4 teaspoon ground chipotle chili powder 1 hot pepper of your choice, seeded and minced (optional) 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (optional) In a small bowl, whisk the sour cream (or yogurt) and mayonnaise until well blended. Squeeze the juice from one half a warm lime into this mixture, then whisk thoroughly. You want it to be thin enough to pour like a salad dressing so, if it is still too thick, add more lime juice from the other half and if too runny, just add more sour cream. Add all of the spices, whisking in to mix thoroughly, then add minced pepper and cilantro, if using and whisk in well. Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least two hours – or overnight – before serving. Serve chilled or slightly warmed alongside or spooned over fish tacos. Approximate servings per recipe: 6.

We all have our favorite ways of serving fish, but the sauce we serve along side it is just as important, too! Food Stylist & Photographer: Laura Kurella
Blessed to grow up in the Great Lakes region, I think I can honestly say that I have had lake fish prepared just about every way there is to possibly serve it up! I’ve had it boiled, broiled, grilled, baked and fried; and I’ve had it steamed, smoked, poached, simmered, stewed and even acidified! And, after all of these methods have been given more than an ample opportunity to grace this gal’s plate, I can honestly state that I - like most people I know - prefer my blue gill cooked just one certain way - pan fried! We are all creatures of habit, especially when it comes to food, and just as we all have our own particular way of enjoying how our fish is cooked, we also have a preference for what we dip our favored fish into, which for most is tartar sauce! Laura With versions found in medieval recipes and those recipes likely inherited from the Romans - tartar sauce has certainly been around for a long, long time! Named with a word that means very different things to very different people, it is thought that tartar sauce got its
name from the Tartar peoples of Mongolia, a group of rough nicks, which seems fitting for this sauce since it contains coarsely chopped ingredients, is tart and a bit rough, as well! As we move closer to modern times, we find French versions made with mayonnaise popping up in the mid 1700s, which is when mayonnaise was first invented and, while recipes reveal tartar sauce had indeed made its way here to the U.S. by the mid 1800’s, it wasn’t until Hellmann’s introduced its own tartar sauce in the 1920s, that this sauce got the boost that it needed to eventually make it a standard fish condiment – a title it still holds to this day! There are many variations available today. However, most are either tart or sweet, which is done simply by changing the style of pickle you add. Kurella Honestly, this sauce is so easy to make – and so much more flavorful fresh - that it is kind of silly not to whisk up a batch! Here now are a few different ways to serve up a fabulous sauce for your fish to swim in today– ENJOY!
