MSD board rescinds vote By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com
The MSD of Wabash County School Board rescinded its decision to reconfigure the district at its meeting Tuesday night, Aug. 9, but not without objection. In a 4-1 vote, the Board approved a resolution that rescinded its July 12 decision to reconfigure MSD’s two high schools into one, a judgment which violated Indiana’s Open Door Law, according to Luke Britt, the state’s appointed Public Access Counselor. However, several board members continued to claim that it had acted in its full legal right, including Kevin Bowman, who was the sole vote against rescinding the reconfiguration decision. Bowman claimed that The Paper of Wabash County, which is responsible for filing the formal complaint against the Board, “is trying to build evidence of conspiracy and try to vilify the Board” for disagreeing with the reconfiguration decision. “The Paper questions the public’s ability to trust us,” Bowman said. “I question the public’s ability to trust The Paper, but I guess it is free. Public education’s not.”
Where the blame lies, Page 25 Editor Joseph Slacian stressed that The Paper did not lodge a formal complaint against the Board’s decision to reconfigure, but over how it developed the plans. “This is an issue of transparency,” Slacian said. “The Board, a local, elected governing body, planned a districtwide reconfiguration in private and violated the Open Door Law. “The Paper has an obligation to the public to serve as its watchdog. Had this been County Council, City Council or any other governing body, it would have acted in the same way. The MSD School Board does not get a pass on violating state law just because it acted ‘to benefit’ Wabash County’s children.”
Board disputes claims On Aug. 8, Britt released his advisory regarding the MSD School Board’s decision to reconfigure the district. In his opinion, he asserted the Board
violated the Open Door Law when it voted to combine Northfield and Southwood schools and close Sharp Creek Elementary. “Based on the foregoing (information), it is the opinion of the Indiana Public Access Counselor that the Wabash County School Board has violated the Open Door Law,” Britt said, “however, they have been afforded an opportunity to correct non-compliance going forward. “It is my sincere hope that they take the advice of their legal counselor and superintend(ent) in remedying the situation.” Following the Board’s initial decision, The Paper launched an investigation into if this decision violated the state’s Open Door Law before filing a formal complaint with the Counselor on July 28. The Paper believes that the Board discussed reconfiguration plans during at least three executive sessions including June 8, June 14 and July 7. At the Board’s Aug. 9 meeting, Board member Todd Dazey read a resolution to rescind the July 12 decision. “In approving reconfiguration, board members believed that they were discharging their responsibilities legally (continued on page 4)
Teachers’ association backs recission vote By The Paper staff The MSD of Wabash County Education Association released a statement Thursday afternoon, Aug. 11, on the district’s reconfiguration issue: “The Metropolitan School District (MSD) of Wabash County Education Association supports the MSD school board’s decision to rescind the reconfiguration for the time being,” Adam Marlatt, Association President, said. “This will enable the public and the school board to have more time to consider all of the possible ramifications of the potential change. We encourage everyone that could be affected by the reconfiguration of Northfield and Southwood High Schools to attend the public meetings on Aug. 15 and 17. “These meetings will allow parents, teachers and community members to raise all of their concerns before the school board to ensure that all potential issues are looked into before a final, binding decision is made.” At the end of the day, Marlatt continued, (continued on page 6)

Manchester school board OKs budget advertisement By David PurvisFenker david@nmpaper.com NORTH MANCHESTER — The M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools Board of School Trustees gave permission to advertise their 2016-2017 budget at their August meeting. Business Manager Scott Bumgardner presented the budget, which totaled $10,217,000. He said that the total for the general fund, which is 100 percent funded through the students, is based off an enrollment of 1,570 students. The district receives funds
from the state based on the number of enrolled students. “We did receive a small increase this year in our per student rate from the state, so we’re in good shape in the general fund,” he said. Superintendent Bill Reichhart noted that current enrollment is 1,567, but that a final number will not be available until school begins. Bumgardner said that that number close enough to the estimated 1,570 as to not cause issues with the budget as is. The state estimates giving the school funds totaling
$10,215,000. Outstanding debts for the district total around $13 million. Of that, more than $200,000 is pension debt owed to teachers, both retired and currently employed. This is left over from a benefits package that was discontinued around 13 years ago. The pension debt is scheduled to be paid off in the next two years. While the pension debt does not detract from the district’s general fund, it does hinder other areas. “That payment has to come from somewhere, and as you know in the past it’s come from our bus
replacement fund,” Bumgardner said. He noted that the district was unable to replace any buses last year due to the pension debt, and said that he believes the district will need to purchase a bus within the next two years. When the budget is formally presented to the board, Bumgardner will offer options other than the bus replacement fund including drawing from other funds or leasing buses. Other debt is set to be fully paid off by 2025. Overall, the budget as will be advertised is around $400,000
less than last year’s budget. Part of that decrease is due to more exact estimations from the state, particularly for the capital projects fund (CPF). “If you look at our budget, it’s built $400,000 less than what I proposed to you last year, and that’s just because they gave us a little more information,” Bumgardner said.

MSD board rescinds vote
and in the district’s best interest,” he said, reading the resolution. “It was not the Board’s intent to conceal any part of the decision from the public nor exclude public input. This Board would never intentionally violate any rule, regulation or statute or otherwise do anything to undermine the good faith of its patrons. “Since adoption of the motion to reconfigure, however, the Board has been advised that it may have inadvertently violated certain provisions of the Indiana Open Door Law. It is also cognizant of the fact that it should be more sensitive to the appearance created by the manner in
which its July 12 decision was handled.” However, prior to its vote to rescind, several board members including John Gouveia and Bowman told the public that they still firmly believed they operated under full legal right. “The complaint that The Paper filed lists three days. June 8, June 14 and July 7, during which it claims the Board developed and finalized the district-wide reconfiguration plan during executive sessions designated … to discuss ‘personnel’ matters,” Bowman said. “The Paper was not at any one of these meetings and they somehow know
what happened at those meetings,” he continued. “Who knows? I was at those meetings. Our focus was on personnel. … Yet, The Paper wants to deny the purpose of those meetings to vilify it, us as a board and undermine a decision they disagree with.” The Paper specified the three executive session dates in its complaint based on interviews with Superintendent Mike Keaffaber and Gouveia, according to Slacian. When asked under what setting did the Board meet to discussion the reconfiguration proposal, Gouveia told The Paper on Tuesday, July 26, it was “a history of meetings when we’ve had personnel discussion on staffing models, on student ratio.” This has been an ongoing theme in student enrollment, he explained. When asked if this was discussed during regular meetings or during executive sessions, Gouveia said, “When we had
PETS OF THE WEEK
executive sessions and we did meet, under our pretense, legally under full rights of what we set those agendas because they are narrowly focused that we were discussing that, you know, you have an inefficiency ratio to the school and should be eliminating x positions and teachers. “So we are discussing personnel in those meetings,” he continued. “The outcroppings of some of those conversations naturally had to come to ‘How do you save positions? How do you save personnel?’ So it was through a lot of those conversations and how do you stop the bleeding and save jobs more or less talk about what jobs should we eliminate in the corporation? And the decision we knew was going to have to be the elimination of positions because of the decline.” The MSD Board’s June 8, June 14 and July 7 executive session agendas all advertised that “Personnel” was the meetings’ primary topic. However, on Aug. 9, while Gouveia voted to rescind, he echoed Bowman’s

thoughts on being “forced” to. “As I said earlier, we’re all human,” Gouveia said. “Could we have handled better? Could we have come out better? Absolutely. “But what Mr. Bowman’s point is, those three meeting, I’ll swear on a stack of Bibles and under penalty of perjury we did follow the letter of the law of personnel discussions. But they (The Paper) chose to create a hit piece, file a public action notice with the Public Access Counselor, which will force our hand for what we’re about to do and I don’t have a problem with doing that because I do believe in public trust. I have been elected to represent you, the taxpayers to make sure we do utilize your financial assets in the best possible resource to educate our students. “But I will stand firm with the fact that those three meetings were absolutely in legal context and they framed it that they felt the decision that we made, the motion following those three meetings was the premise of the meetings. It was not.”
F o l l o w i n g Gouveia’s statement, an audience member asked, “Could we know then when you did discuss this if it was never included in the minutes for the last year and it was never listed on the agenda for an executive session?” “We’re still having our meeting here. We’re having our discussion,” Board Chair Matt Driscoll replied. “In my statement, I stand firm that it was in legal context,” Gouveia added. “I have no further statement.” T hroughout Tuesday’s meeting, several board members questioned The Paper’s credibility. Gouveia asserted that the publication constantly misquotes him while Bowman claimed that it was trying to build evidence of a conspiracy against the Board. “The Paper misquotes me all the time,” Gouveia said. “If you’ve read The Paper, they probably told you I went to Disneyworld last week, too.” All quotes and information that The Paper cites and accredits to MSD board members are recorded and saved,
according to Slacian. “We would be more than happy to allow anyone who wants to listen to the tapes,” he said. The Public Access Counselor did not have to side with The Paper, according to Slacian. “The Public Access Counselor could have decided that the Board did act in full legal right,” he said, “but the fact is that they did not and it was even of the opinion of their attorney that they had failed to comply with the law.” Steve Downs, the Board’s legal counsel, asserted that “in considering reconfiguration as part of its personnel discussions, the Board at all times believed it was acting correctly.” “We have suggested to the superintendent, however, that to the extent personnel discussions morphed into discussions about reconfiguration, such should not have occurred, and that the Board should have been more sensitive to the appearance created by the manner in which its July 12 decision was handled,” Downs later continued in his letter. Board member Dazey also stood firm with the Board “that the context of the three meetings in question were absolutely personnel decisions.” “But in light of the fact,” he continued, “I too am sensitive to the fact that we screwed up on how we handled this that is my reason I am voting to rescind this and we’ll go about it in a different method, one that will take substantial reconsideration as mentioned in the resolution and have your public input on (Aug.) 15th and the 17th and we do very much look forward to that input.” Indiana’s Open Door Law is set up on the presumption that the business of agencies should be conducted in the open, but the Legislature does recognize there are times when governing bodies need to meet in private, (continued on page 5)
THE PAPER

MSD board rescinds vote
according to Stephen Key, Hoosier State Press Association executive director and general counsel. “Obviously the Legislature has set up a system where government’s supposed to be transparent,” Key said. “You as a citizen are guaranteed the right to observe and record the public meetings of a government body, whether it’s a city council, county commissioners or, in this case, a school board because they are spending your tax dollars. “So under the Open Door Law, the presumption is everything should be open unless the Legislature has specifically said, ‘This subject matter can be discussed in private.’”
The public’s reaction
Members of the public packed into the MSD administration boardroom and adjacent hallway to listen to the Board as well as speak their minds Tuesday night. Several audience members expressed their displeasure with the Board and its previous actions. “I think that most people I’ve talked with around the community they’re not totally opposed to the reconfiguration. It’s how the Board handled this reconfiguration,” audience member Bill Hunter said. “You dropped a bombshell on us on July 12. … By the actions of the Board, students have now transferred out of our school system.” MSD parent Mike James told the Board he’s waiting to see how the reconfiguration plays out before deciding whether or not to move his children to another district. “I will agree that I was very disappointed also that the public was not informed, (but) I’m glad that we’re having this meeting now and you will take suggestions from us. It’s the right thing to do,” James said. “I agree with this gentleman (Hunter) that if we don’t have (student enrollment) numbers until after the
16th of September, I don’t see how we can make an educated decision and I do feel that MSD is going to lose enrollment. “Personally, I’m looking at homes in North Manchester, the Oak Hill district, et cetera. I’m going to wait to see how this all plays out, but I think in the long run we’re shooting ourselves in the foot.” However, not all attending public spoke out against the Board’s actions. Audience member David Pefley said that he has spoken with the Board about MSD’s future. “I personally know all of you (the Board) at some level and at some point at time, we’ve all spoken about what the future’s going to hold,” Pefley said. “For me talking to you (the public) as citizens, parents, take time to talk to each one of these members individually. Email them. “We elected these men and, believe me, I believe they have the utmost integrity and our school corporation and our kids ultimately at the best interest are what they are looking for. As a businessman myself, it is very, very hard to take the popular (route) and what everyone wants to do and to consolidate it into one idea, but what you can do is take everyone’s input and make the best decision for that.” The public must now be proactive with its school’s future, he continued. “So I think it’s our job at this point to let it be privately or in these public forums, ask our educated
questions and get educated answers from them and give our input and then let them do the job that we elected them to do,” Pefley said. After it listened to the audience’s comments for nearly an hour, the Board closed public input to continue with its meeting. However, audience members continued to speak throughout the meeting and prompted board members to remind the public that public comment was closed. During its discussion on possible plans for declining enrollment, one audience member’s interjection caused Gouveia to lose his composure. “This is my meeting,” Gouveia said, raising his voice at the member. “I said that. This is our meeting. This is our discussion. It’s our meeting.”
Consolidation After the Board rescinded, it immediately began discussing plans to combat the school’s declining enrollment. Dazey broached the “the elephant in the room,” consolidation. “Why did we not choose consolidation with Wabash City Schools,” he asked Board Chair Driscoll. “Being elected board member, … the one thing everybody told me, ‘I do not want to consolidate. I do not want to consolidate. You aren’t going to consolidate are you,’” Driscoll replied. “That was thing I was harped on.” Other board mem-

bers agreed that their constituents had voiced similar thoughts. “Two years ago, when I was running for school board, I asked people, ‘Can I count on your vote? Can I put a sign in your yard?’ Every person said, ‘As long as you don’t vote for consolidation,’” Dazey said, “and now I’m hearing people tell me, ‘We do need to consolidate.’” The Board also cited that consolidation would create new debt for its taxpayers, limit academics for students and still lengthen bus rides.
‘Bring us something better’ Dazey encouraged the public to bring a better option to the Board at its public forum meetings on Aug. 15 and Aug. 17. Prior to its initial decision to reconfigure, Dazey told the public he considered four options to increase the efficiency of MSD including: •Get rid of classes are not required for an Indiana State high school diploma. •Request a referendum to increase taxes to pay for MSD’s general fund. “We just saw Wabash City fail at that,” Dazey explained. “What in

Chili for Charity gets OK to use Paradise Spring By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com
The Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity Chili Cookoff received permission Wednesday evening, Aug. 10, to use Paradise Spring Historical Park for the 14th annual event. The Wabash Park Board voted 3-1 to grant permission. John Salb voted against the measure, citing the sale of alcohol during the event. Chili Planning Committee member
Marc Shelley made the request on behalf of the organizers. “We’ve been averaging right around 100 chili teams the last several years,” he said. “And I’m very happy to say that with your guys’ help, and with the help of a lot of people here in the city, we’ve been able to hand out over $430,000 to charity, and it all stays in Wabash County.” Shelley, in answering a question from Salb, said beer and wine will be available for purchase at the event. He also said, in
answer to another question from Salb, that both the committee and the Chili Appreciation Society International, which helps with the event, both have insurance. “We purchase liquor liability for the day,” Shelley said. “The organization that helps us with the cook-off provides a million dollars in general liability coverage. So, we have both liquor and general liability, and we’ll provide the board a copy.”
An off-duty police officer also will be on hand at the alcohol site. “You’ve never had any problems in the past, have you,” board member Brandon France asked, to which Shelley said no. In other matters, the board also approved the use of Paradise Spring Historical Park for a church service and community celebration sponsored by the New C o n n e c t i o n s Church. The event
will begin with an 8 a.m. service Aug. 28, followed by food and games afterward. The event is open to the public. The board also
approved using Paradise Spring Historical Park and the Riverwalk for a fundraising event to fight breast cancer. The event, which
includes a 5K run and a weightlifting contest, is planned for October.

“Parents, teachers, students, community members and school board members all want to see the MSD of Wabash County school community be the most successful school district that it can be,” he said. “There is no clear cut best way to achieve that goal, but the more people that can help be a part of the decision making process, the better. “The best thing that the school board can do to ensure support from the public is to keep them informed of what is going on. If all options will be considered with an open mind, and public input is welcomed and encouraged, we believe that the school board can make the decision that will best serve the students of the MSD of Wabash County for years to come.”

Hoosiers to decide new license plate From the BMV INDIANAPOLIS— Indiana residents now have the chance to decide what our next state license plate will look like as they vote on a final design to replace the o u t g o i n g Bicentennial plate. Three plate designs were unveiled this morning at the Indiana State Fair by Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) Commissioner Kent Abernathy. “This is going to be
a fun process for Hoosiers during the next four weeks,� said Abernathy. “We have three interesting designs and I hope all state residents will vote and let us know which one they like the best,� he added. “The winning design will appear on vehicles all over Indiana.� The three designs for the public vote are; a blue, red and green plate depicting a covered bridge (link to image) over a creek; a white, blue
and yellow choice with a torch and stars over the silhouette of Indiana and the slogan “The Hoosier State� and a plate with a white background, blue numbers and a yellow, bottom border with the slogan, “Crossroads of America.� Fort Wayne, Indiana’s Intellectual Technology Inc., a firm that designs and manufactures license plates for states all over the country, did the artwork.
Residents can vote for the plate at myBMV.com and at the BMV State Fair display in Exposition Hall through the end of the fair. Voting ends at midnight on September 5, 2016. Hoosiers will begin to see the winning
plate design on vehicles in January of next year as older plates are replaced at the end of the normal seven-year life cycle. The new design plate can also be purchased before the end of the life cycle for $10.25.

With other sponsors contributing, it should be able to cover the costs of the transfer boat and other expenses for the festival tractor pull events. Keith Ford reported that he and Don Everest sat in the Lions Club booth in the merchants building at the Wabash County 4-H Fair and helped in distributing
Lions Club information. In other business, guest Mike Chenault attended the meeting to ask about using the pull field for his fireworks display on Sunday, September 4. He was informed that since the Lions Club rents the land, we would need to go through the correct process for insurance purposes. The details were explained to Mike and he agreed to the terms. A motion was made and seconded to let Mike use the field for his fireworks. Next on the agenda for the meeting was the presentation to Steve Powell of a check for the money received from the benefit that was held on July 1 for him. Steve was very grateful to everyone who helped in any way and to the community for coming together to make it happen. Powell’s family — daughter, Tracy Draper, son, Trent Powell and stepson, John Lundquist — attended the meeting in honor of their Dad receiving the gift. Powell was inducted into the Lions Club as a member. He said he wanted to be a part of all that the Lions Club does for the community and is willing to help in any way he can. Russell Krom was his sponsor in bringing him into the club. When presenting a Lions pin to a new club member it is always put on upside down and when the member helps with a project they can then wear it upright. President Rick Morris, shared that
the Lions Club is all about everyone working together to give back to the community to fulfil the Lions Club motto, We Serve.

The disc golf course at Wabash City Park could soon be getting a new look. Josh Tart, a representative of the Cannonball Disc Golf Club, discussed with the Wabash Park Board the club’s plans to change the layout of the course. In addition to giving the course a different layout, Tart said the club is trying to raise funds to replace about 11 baskets around the course. The club plans to purchase the baskets from Dynamic Discs, he said, noting that it was the least expensive baskets the club could find, and that a white band around the basket would be ideal to place sponsors logos and contact information. “We haven’t done any actual fundraising, as far as collecting,” Tart told the Park Board, “but we
have been getting interest and pledges from businesses.” So far, the group has raised just more than $2,800. The cost for the baskets is $6,550, plus a few hundred dollars more for maintenance, tee signs and concrete. Tart also presented the board a timeline that projects having anchors for the new equipment installed by Nov. 1. It has given itself a Feb. 1 deadline to try to get funding for course’s 18 holes, and an April 1 deadline to have the new baskets installed. Tart said about 11 baskets will be replaced. Those will be auctioned off and the proceeds going back to the course. Changes to the course, he said, are designed to make the holes longer and the course more challenging. The biggest problem it has now is that it is really short, he added. Board member
Bill Stouffer asked if the club had a way to keep track of the number of people playing at the course? Tart said the only way to do that is to have them sign in. However, he added, that isn’t an “incredibly accurate count.” Tart, in response to a question from board member John Salb, said there are 33 members of the club. “But we have a ton of people who play,” Tart said. “Every time we play a league we have people in front of us or behind us who we don’t know who they are.” Once installed, the baskets would revert back to the city’s ownership. “We don’t own them,” Tart said, “we’re just sponsoring the changes. So, they would be park owned and just be club operated. The board unanimously approved an agreement between the city and the club for the improvements.

DON’T FORGET URBANA BLOOD DRIVE is Aug. 17 from 2 to 6:30 p.m. at the Urbana C o m m u n i t y Building. Those who have not registered should please stop in. Walk-ins are welcome.
“Every blood donor is special. Every reason for giving is unique.” The Red Cross website has many stories that have been posted by people who give blood. I am sure many of our local donors have personal stories. This one is from Doug: “I have worked as an RN in the operating room for 40 years and I see the need for blood products daily. That is why I donate. Also there is a benefit to the donor that does not seem to be well known. Studies show that donating blood lowers the incidence of stroke for the donor as well

COMMUNITY NEWS as stimulating your bone marrow to produce more blood when needed.” There is also a great need for platelets. There are local people who regularly donate platelets in Fort Wayne as platelets cannot be collected during a regular blood drive. My husband’s brother, Larry Mast, has been receiving platelets on a regular basis for more than a year. His life depends on donated platelets. The same is true for many local individuals who are receiving treatments for various cancers. For more information about donating platelets, contact Claudia Rosen. What is a platelet donation? “During a platelet donation, a small portion of your blood (about 1/4 pint at a time), is drawn from your arm and passed through a sophisticated cell-separating machine. The machine collects the platelets and safely returns the remaining blood components, along with some saline, back to you. After the donation you can resume your normal activities, avoiding heavy
lifting or strenuous exercise that day.” “A single platelet donation can provide enough platelets for a full therapeutic dose for a patient in need. In fact, some platelet donations yield enough platelets for two or three therapeutic doses. Many patients who need platelets are undergoing chemotherapy or organ transplant and have weakened immune systems.” NORTHFIELD JR. SR.

Pool attendance up this year By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Attendance at the Honeywell Pool is the highest it has been in four years. Figures provided by Wabash Park Superintendent Adam Hall show that through July, 15,747 people have gone to the pool this summer. That is the highest total since 2012, when 19,870 people visited the pool. August figures are not yet available, as the pool closed for the season on
Sunday. Hall said there are many variables as to why the attendance this year is the highest it has been in four years. “One is the weather,” he said. “We have shut down the pool very little due to storms this year. Sometimes you can get those evening storms that can shut down the pool before people can get off work and come to the pool to cool down. “The heat has been another factor. The pool temperature has been low to mid 80s for the last
month. With temperatures that high, people don’t get that initial cold shock that you can get at the beginning of the year and so they are inclined to come back. “The last factor is our attractions, with the concessions, splash area for young kids, diving boards, and waterslide. In June, there were 9,384 people at the pool, with the remainder of the 15,747 coming in July. Because of the major rehab pro-
#
"
gram the pool underwent in 2014 and 2015, comparing the figures from 2015 and 2016 could be misleading, Hall said. The attendance for July 2015 was 7,534, nearly 2,000 more than in 2016 and the largest figure since 2012, when 7,980 people visited the pool. But, he pointed out, the pool reopened last July after the renovations were complete and the public wanted to see what the new pool looked like.

Commissioners support Workforce Development grant By David PurvisFenker david@nmpaper.com The Wabash C o u n t y Commissioners agreed to provide $10,000 to the E c o n o m i c Development Group of Wabash County as part of a grant application. Keith Gillenwater, president and CEO of the EDG of Wabash County, asked for the commissioners’ support in applying for a $250,000 workforce development grant from the Office of Community and Rural Affairs. Wabash County is the lead applicant for the grant working in conjunction with Kosciusko and Huntington counties. Should they be awarded the grant, each county must provide a $20,000 total local match. EDG of Wabash County has also applied to the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County for $10,000, to bring the countywide total local match up to $20,000. The $10,000 match from the commissioners will come from the county’s CEDIT fund. Last year, EDG of Wabash County applied in conjunction with Huntington County, with the latter being the lead applicant. “We received good feedback on (last year’s application) but we did not receive funding in that first round, but were encouraged to apply again this year,” Gillenwater said. “We have tweaked our application based upon the feedback that we received from OCRA last year, and would like to resubmit that again this year.” The grant money would be put toward training residents in CNC machining, welding, and industrial maintenance, among other areas. “Last year, we ran an industrial maintenance class outside of this grant, the first one that we’ve done in Wabash County, and we sent
nine people through. Eight of them graduated,” Gillenwater said. Last year’s class ran for 26 weeks, taking about six hours per week. According to Gillenwater, local employers are asking EDG to run the class again because of the quality and skill of employees produced by last year’s class. “They’re wanting us to run the course a second time so that they know they get a skilled applicant,” he said. “It’s a big win for us when we can do those kind of things.” With no discussion on the matter the commissioners authorized the application and $10,000
commitment, then recessed for a public hearing on the matter. Lori Shipman, an OCRA-certified grant administrator, is working with Wabash, Huntington and Kosciusko counties on the application. According to Shipman, money from OCRA is federally funded, and pledged funds such as the $10,000 from the commissioners require a public hearing to allow people to comment or ask questions before they can be committed. Gillenwater, Mark Wickersham of Huntington County E c o n o m i c Development and Gary Gatman of Northeast Indiana
COLUMBIA CITY 119 Hoosier Drive 260-244-4111
Works were the only speakers, all in support of the application. “Our organization and our board of directors approved at our last meeting our $20,000 local match from our private funds,” Wickersham said. Gatman, an executive vice president at Northeast Indiana Works, said his group has collaborated with Wabash and Huntington counties previously. “We actually funded the industrial maintenance class that Keith was describing earlier. It was a success, and building on that success only makes sense,” Gatman said. He briefly discussed the importance of the grant,
calling it “mission critical” in terms of helping to grow manufacturing in the counties. According to Gatman, Northeast Indiana Works has committed a match of up to $50,000 for the grant. “When you see an application that
comes in where you have support from E c o n o m i c Development, support from community foundations, support from commissioners, support from workforce development, what the message we’re trying to send to the
state is, ‘This is a group effort, this is a team effort at the local area,’ and we’re certainly proud and thrilled to be part of that effort,” he said. In other matters: County Highway Superintendent John Martin (continued on page 16)

Sheriff Bob Land reported that he has 86 current inmates at Wabash County Jail, 47 in Miami County and five in Elkhart County. Of those, 31 are new and 14 were transferred during the week. C o u n t y Coordinator Jim Dills announced a recommendation for H.J. Umbaugh as the financial advisor for the new jail project. The commissioners approved the recommendation. The County Recorder’s office pre-

sented two bids for the computer updates for her office. To update three workstations, Fidlar Technologies bid at $9,649, not including labor, and I n t r a s e c t Technologies bid at $8,102.25, including labor. Additionally, the Recorder will need to purchase a printer valued at $983 from Fidlar. The commissioners accepted Intrasect’s bid, and approved the printer purchase. The commissioners also approved public notice of the sale of two vehicles. A 2010 Dodge Charger formerly used by the Sheriff ’s Department, and a 2001 Chevrolet Impala. A minimum bid of $1,000 was set for both vehicles.
Bids will be opened on Aug. 29. The commissioners heard from Mike Dials of ACM Engineering and Environ Service of Fort Wayne in regards to the environmental sampling at the old jail and sheriff ’s house. He informed the commissioners that they found asbestos in the facility, as well as pigeon droppings in the attic that will need cleaned. They also assume there will be lead paint to remove. Dials needed approval from the commissioners to officially conduct a survey, and estimated a one-week turnaround from date of approval. The commissioners approved the survey.

Squire golf team cruises to county title By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nm paper.com
NORTH MANCHESTER — Sporting four of the top five individual scores of the Wabash County girls’ golf tournament, the Manchester Squires won the team title with a score of 381. All five Squires shot under 100, with only two other golfers in the field reaching that feat. “The girls battled and brought in some great, consistent scores today,” Manchester coach Josh Troyer said. “I’m so proud to be the coach of these county champions and a great group of girls.” The Squires distances themselves from the other three county schools by a 37-stroke advantage. Northfield finished second with a team score of 417, led by Chelsea George, who shot a 97. Southwood was third with a 433, with Dayna Dale shooting a strong 75, and
Wabash was fourth with a 492, led by Bella Carrillo’s 98. For Manchester, it was a balanced scoring effort with Lydia Little leading the way with a 47-47-94, followed by Leiah Brandenburg shooting a 49-46-95. Samantha Kissell shot a 47-49-96, while Karly Eichenauer tied her with a 48-48-96, and Kelsey Eichenauer was just behind them with a 46-52-98. For second place Northfield, George shot a 44-53-97, followed by Emma Wynn with a 54-49-103, Anna Driscoll with a 54-53107, Braelyn Detter with a 58-52-110, and Ariel Dale with a 6367-130. Southwood was led by medalist Dayna Dale, who ran away with a 36-39-75. Dale shot par on every hole on the front-nine, then went 1-under with a birdie on number 10, and went 2under with a birdie on number 14. After parring number 15, she had a hiccup with a triple-bogey on the par-five number 16,

As the end of the summer season quickly approaches, the Indiana Department of Homeland Security reminds college students to think safety as they begin the fall semester. Students should help create a safe environment on campus by staying aware at all times. This will help to prevent crimes and other emergency situations from happening on campus. Follow these tips to encourage a comfortable, safe college experience: In the Dorm: • Talk to the resident assistant or b u i l d i n g manager/landlord to gather any important emergency information.
• Know the rules. Don’t bring prohibited items into the building. • Don’t prop open doors that are supposed to remain locked. • Consider investing in a safe to protect valuable items and information, such as passports, social security cards and serial numbers and pictures of valuable items. • Know a way out in case of an emergency. Have multiple escape routes in order to be prepared. On Campus: • When entering a classroom or any other building, take note of all potential exits. • Don’t walk alone at night. Call the campus police, campus escort or a friend for an escort. • Stay on top of emergency alerts by
signing up for mobile campus alerts. • Memorize the campus emergency number or have it on speed dial. • Leave a copy of class and work schedules with a roommate or close friend. Fire Prevention: • Make sure all items such as irons, ovens and electric hair tools are powered off and cool before leaving. • If candles are allowed in the building, be aware of them at all times and extinguish them when leaving the room. • Make sure there are smoke alarms outside of each sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each floor of the dwelling, in accordance with Indiana state law. For more information on placement, visit
Feb. 24, 1923 – Aug. 9, 2016
GetPrepared.IN.gov. • If smoke alarms go off while cooking, do not remove the batteries. Instead, fan out the area and open a window to remove smoke. • Use a surge protector for electronics. General Tips: • Always lock car doors and remove all valuable items. • No matter where you are, know where the nearest fire extinguisher and fire alarm pull box are at all times. • When noticing suspicious activity, contact authorities immediately. • Privacy is important, even on social media. Don’t post private information that may put one at risk for predators or robbers. • Consider taking a self-defense class. No matter how physically

VIEWPOINT
Where the blame lies
The Metropolitan School Board of Wabash County was, to no one’s surprise, in damage control mode when it met on Tuesday night, Aug. 9. Board members took exception to The Paper of Wabash County’s filing a formal complaint with the Indiana Public Access Counselor about possible violations of the Indiana Open Door Law in relation to its July 12 vote to reconfigure the school district. As most everyone is aware by now, the board voted to merge Northfield and Southwood high schools, with Northfield serving as the high school and Southwood serving as a middle/junior high school for students in fifth through eighth grade. As part of the reconfiguration, Sharp Creek Elementary School is to be closed, and Metro North and Southwood elementary schools will house kindergarten through fifth grade. As we have said in the past, we have never questioned the need for the reconfiguration. Declining enrollments are forcing school districts around the state to take drastic measures to continue to survive. We totally understand that. We also, as board member Kevin Bowman contended on Tuesday, are not upset because reorganization talks for the district didn’t include consideration of consolidation with Wabash City Schools. As we have said from the beginning, what we have a problem with is the secrecy in which the board arrived at its decision. It waited to introduce the item under a very non-descript “Items from the School Board” topic on the July 12 agenda. In fact, had it not been for a leak from somewhere in the MSD district, chances are the roomful of people who had caught wind of the possible move would not have been present. The July 28 complaint filed by The Paper with the Public Access Counselor stems from the fact that at least two board members and the then-interim superintendent all admitted that the discussions to reconfigure the district took place in executive
OUR VIEW session. That is against the law. Any discussions regarding reconfiguring the school district should have taken place in an open forum with plenty of prior notice to the public. Rather than admitting its error, board members, specifically Bowman and John Gouveia, used Tuesday night to employ the “kill the messenger” defense. That, quite frankly, also came as no surprise. For anytime a government official is caught doing wrong, the first group to be blamed is the media. Bowman, as noted earlier, blamed The Paper’s protest on the fact that officials here are upset Wabash City Schools wasn’t included in consolidation talks. He also denied receiving email inquiries sent twice to him and the remaining four board members via the contact page on the MSD of Wabash County webpage. If the email links on the MSD webpage are not valid, they should be removed. If they are active, then it is incumbent upon the board members to check them with regularity, for that is how the people they were voted to represent are to contact them. But then again, in light of its actions in this situation, we wonder how much its members really care about what the people who represent them feel about issues. Gouveia, in his attack on The Paper, said “The Paper misquotes me all the time. If you’ve read The Paper, they probably told you I went to Disneyworld last week too.” Tapes, both from board meetings and from a one-onone interview with Gouveia, prove comments attributed to him in stories were accurate. We believe that they are truly upset because they did, (,(* (-,

indeed, get caught violating the law. Whether inadvertently or on purpose, the law was violated The Indiana Public Access Counselor ruled with The Paper in that the board’s action did, indeed, violate the Indiana Open Door Law, and that was one of the factors which brought about the board’s vote to rescind the July 12 vote when it met on Aug. 9. The board, by continuing to say its actions were proper and legal, also contradicts its own attorney’s response to The Paper’s complaint with the Public Access Counselor. As board attorney Steve Downs noted in the district’s response, “to the extent personnel discussions morphed into discussions about reconfiguration, such should
not have occurred, and that the Board should have been more sensitive to the appearance created by the manner in which its July 12 decision was handled.” The arrogance of Bowman, Gouveia and others on this situation is creating a great divide between the board and the people who elected them into office. Many have expressed outrage to The Paper over the board’s illegal action and others – both members of the public and members of other governmental bodies — have praised the newspaper in demanding the board act transparently and in accordance with the law. The board’s actions Tuesday night – at one point Gouveia shouted down a member of the public trying
to ask a question, saying “This is my meeting,” — shows that arrogance tenfold. As one patron remarked to The Paper after the Aug. 9 meeting, he was for the reconfiguration until witnessing the board’s action at the meeting. Now he cannot fathom sending his grandchildren to a district run by the current board. Did the MSD board intentionally violate the Indiana Open Door Law? We would like to think they didn’t. However, the fact is that no matter how much some board members protest and try to shift the blame, the law was violated. That violation has eroded any trust the public has in the board, and the board must now act transparently from this point forward. But then again, that is something it should have done from the get-go on this situation.

City Council gets update on CSO project By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Keith Bryant presented the Wabash City Council an update on the city’s Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Long Term Control Plan project when the Council met on Monday, Aug. 8. Bryant, of United C o n s u l t i n g , explained the history of the project to the predominantly new council. He also outlined some of the work that will be coming in the future. T h e Environmental
Protection Agency and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management have required Indiana communities with combined sewer systems to develop plans to mitigate combined sewer overflows in order to meet the Clean Water Act and resulting Water Quality Standards. The city has been working on the project since 2001. It was broken into four phases. The first phase, primarily along Manchester Avenue, was completed in 2013.

The second phase, to be completed by Nov. 1, 2017, is currently in the design phase. The second phase is expected to cost about $5.5 million and will take place at various areas of the city. “Phase 2 … will be moving ahead to public bid and construction sometime later this year,” Bryant said. The third phase is to be completed by Nov. 1, 2021, and the final phase by Nov. 1, 2025. “The original plans selected in 2010 was approximately $13 million,” Bryant said. “There again, that was in 2010 dollars. All costs go up. “The bad thing about spreading this over 16 years is the costs go up. The good thing is that it allows you to plan and minimize and stage the impact of your rate users and to pursue more grant money. “It that first phase we were able to get a $1 million grant and that helped a lot.” There are pros and cons to the way the city is handling the situation, Bryant said. “If we ran out today and wanted to build the rest of it, we could build it for
less money then we will doing it in three more phases,” he said. “But, you would have to have a tremendous rate increase and shock all your users. It just doesn’t work out very well that way. Plus it limits our ability to pursue grants and other things.” The phases are staggered roughly four years apart to help ease the burden of paying for them,
he added. Bryant, in answering a question from Council member Doug Adams, said once all four phases are complete there will still be some areas of the city in which both systems are combined. “To separate the whole city in 2010 dollars is the magnitude of $40 to $50 million, versus $13 million in 2010 dollars,” Bryant said. “It wasn’t required, and it
wasn’t anything that anyone wanted to bite on and say let’s spend four times the amount of money. “It will be dramatically better from a flooding standpoint and from a CSO standpoint.” Once the four phases are complete, the city will have about 20 or 30 percent of the sewers are combined, Bryant estimated. Adams asked if there would ever be a
time to require 100 percent separation. “There’s always a concern that they could require more,” Bryant said. “What happens after you get done with this? Well there could be a second round first by the federal government through the state that requires you to take it a step further. But nobody knows at this point if that’s going to happen or not.”

Local Relay for Life raises awareness, advocates American Cancer Society By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Despite the threat of rain, participants and supporters of the Relay for Life of Wabash County marched on at Paradise Spring Historical Park Saturday, Aug. 13. Co-chair Aaron Holley admitted the day’s turnout was smaller than last year’s event. However, as survivors and caregivers walked the track later in the evening, Holley told The Paper of Wabash County its best to remember why Relay supporters assemble annually in the first place. “It’s all about the people and honoring them,” Holley told The Paper of Wabash County. “We haven’t been down, if you, will financially, but that’s just a small part of it. That’s not the reason we’re here.”
Cancer survivors walk the track at Paradise Spring Historical Park at the annual Relay for Life of Wabash County on Saturday, Aug. 13. Photo by Emma Rausch The local Relay committee hung approximately 50 banners in downtown Wabash, painting the town purple to commemorate cancer victims and survivors. The Relay’s 27 teams have also been fundraising for the main event since March. In addition to new teams, Holley said the committee was also excited about
the increase in local business involvement and support of Relay. This year, five downtown businesses donated a portion of its sales on Saturday to Relay’s cause. The Eclectic Shoppe, Marelli’s, Thriftalicious and Bash Boutique donated 10 percent of its sales while Stinson’s Trading Post donated 25 per-
cent. All of the effort is for the purpose of raising awareness and bring the community together, according to Holley. “That’s really been our mission the last few years to bring the whole community together,” Holley said. “One of the things that we do is we line the track with cancer facts, some
things to remind them as far as what the American Cancer Society can provide to them such as resources … and also different statistics,” he continued, “Cancer is a terrible disease that, no matter the type, effects us all one way or another. “So it’s about awareness because no matter who you are … you know somebody that’s been effected by this
disease.” Those involved with Relay also act as advocates to the American Cancer Society and have the opportunity to raise funds for cancer research and other programs offered through the national organization. “Every piece of the fight, be it participation or … monetary donations, it all matters,” Holley said. “We do appreciate (the community’s)
support. We realize that there’s a lot of different ways that they can spend their time on the weekend, but this is one that effects us all so I think it hits home to a lot of people and I think it’s (a cause) that you can really get behind and stand behind. “So I encourage them to come out next year and continue to support this mission.”

Huntington U ranked nationally From the HU News Bureau
HUNTINGTON — C h r i s t i a n Universities Online (CUO) has ranked H u n t i n g t o n University as the No.47 Most Affordable Christian University in the United States for 2017. “Our goal at H u n t i n g t o n University is to work with each student to ensure they are receiving the best financial assistance available,” stated Jerry W. Davis, director of financial aid. “More than 90 percent of our students receive financial aid and each is automatically eligible for a scholarship based upon their high school grades. We work very hard to make HU affordable for all students.” The CUO rankings are based on “Net Price” tuition and the universities listed have proven to be affordable without sacrificing quality in their programs and resources. Net price tuition data was collected from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Net price is defined as subtracting the average amount of federal, state/local government or institutional grant or scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees, books and supplies, and the weighted average for room and board and other expenses. This ranking was produced using this single data point. In order to be considered in this ranking, each school is either a member of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) or able to be considered member eligible. For the complete rankings, visit http://www.christianuniversitiesonline.org/50-most- . To learn more about Huntington University, please visit www.huntington.edu.

DNR to adjust methods for bovine TB testing among wild deer From the DNR State biologists with the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife plan to test for the presence of bovine tuberculosis (TB) in deer in southeastern Indiana this hunting season using a redesigned set of sampling protocols. The new protocols are aimed at detecting the disease at lower rates of prevalence by focusing on hunterharvested bucks that are at least 2 years old. “While any age and
sex of white-tailed deer can become infected with bovine tuberculosis, surveillance from other states has demonstrated that sampling bucks older than 2 years of age is more likely to detect the disease,” said Joe Caudell, DNR state deer biologist. Sampling of harvested deer this year will take place in all of Franklin County and in Fayette County south of State Road 44. In April of this year, the Indiana Board of Animal Health (BOAH) and
the U.S. Department of Agriculture detected bovine TB on a cattle farm in Franklin County. Previously, bovine tuberculosis was detected in farmed deer and cattle in late 2008 and 2009 in Franklin County and on a Dearborn County cattle farm in 2011. As a result, DNR began a surveillance program in 2009 to determine if the disease had spilled into the wild white-tailed deer population. From 2008-2015, biologists tested more than 1,400 deer. All
have tested negative for bovine tuberculosis. The DNR this year will need to collect between 850 and 2,700 samples from wild white-tailed deer depending on the sex and age class of the animal. The objective is to sample as many bucks older than 2 years as possible. The remaining samples will come from does and younger bucks. During the check-in process, hunters will be asked to participate in testing by calling a toll-free number that will be available
when they register a deer online. A team based in Franklin County will be on call to meet hunters and sample their deer. Samples must come from the head and neck, so these parts should be preserved if deer are processed in the field. Hunters that wish to have their deer mounted or processed can provide the name of the taxidermist or processor so arrangements can be made to collect the samples from that location. During the youth weekend, Sept. 24-25,
and the firearm season’s opening weekend, Nov. 12-13, DNR staff will be at some historic check stations and other locations in Franklin and Fayette County. A list of these locations will be available when hunters register their deer online. A collectable Deer Cooperator Patch will be issued to all youth and adult hunters who submit deer for bovine tuberculosis surveillance. Hunters who harvest a buck that is 2 years old or older from the TB sampling
area and allow a sample to be collected (either by DNR staff, taxidermist, or at a processor) will qualify for an additional free buck tag that can be used to harvest a second buck that is at least 2 years old from the bovine tuberculosis surveillance area. A buck older than 2 years old can typically be estimated in the field by the spread of the antlers and the number of antler points. The age will be confirmed by tooth wear replacement by a biologist.

CCSI releases 2 new case studies From the CCSI News Bureau INDIANAPOLIS Conservation Cropping Systems Initiative (CCSI) is releasing two new case studies featuring a farmer who added organic matter through cover crops and shares that with the next generation as well as one who is a shining example of the 4Rs of Nutrient
Stewardship. Mike and Susan Brocksmith farm with their two daughters in Vincennes. They have been completely no-till since 1990, following years of experimenting, fine-tuning the pract i c e , and adopting new notill tools that made the practice increasingly viable. Now, he is working on the next level in crafting a soil
conservation system that will help nurture crops even in difficult weather years. That next level is cover crops and their roots. One of the benefits that was most appealing to Brocksm ith about a cover crop’ s root system was the a b u n d a n c e of organic matter it added to the soil. “For years we were doing a corn/bean rotation in no-till,” Brocksmith said. “An early bean crop doesn’t do anything to build your organic matter. There’s nothing there. That’s 50 percent of your rotation. That’s where cover crops come in. A corn/bean rotation without cover crops may not be sustainable the way we thought it would be.” In 2012, the Brocksmiths established test plots to compare long-term no-till with no-till plus cover crops as part of the Conservation Cropping Systems Initiative (CCSI), which is investigating the economic and environmental impacts of conservation practices by studying various conservation practices on 12 farms around the state. What was Brocksmith’s favorite part? “Having students on the farm is the coolest thing we do,” he said. The Brocksmith’s have more than 100 students at a time visit their farm as part of the Student Soil Health Field Days they created to inspire high school and college students to adopt conservation farming practices. He believes reaching the next generation now with this information will help encourage no-till when they go back to their farms. Mike Werling started notilling and planting co ver crops to reduce erosion on his 350acre farm. He’s also reducing his nitrogen rates. His goal is produce a bushel of corn with 0.75 pounds of applied nitrogen to meet his 180-bushel target on 125 to 145 pounds of N - but he often ends up doing even better, harvesti n g ver 200 bushels per ac re. Applying lower
rates of nitrogen and batting for triples instead of home runs in yield reflect Werling’s strategy of steady, profitable performance. “I probably don’t hit the highs, but I also don’t hit the lows,” he says. “It’s interesting that I can hit that goal every year,” he said. Even when we had a dry year in 2012, I hit 172 bushels. ” Werling’s farm is a shining example of the 4Rs of Nutrient Stewardship : using the Right source at the Right rate at the Right time in the Right place. Adhering to the 4Rs, Werling has reduced his nitrogen applications, shifted to spring fertilizer applications and bands his phosphorus beneath the soil surface with h i s planter. Together thos e tactics allow him to reduce off-farm nutrient loss, protecting th e environment and his bottom line. Brocksmith’s and Werling’s Case Studies along with additional case studies showcasing farms in Fountain, Ripley, Madison, Hamilton, Kosciusko and Decatur counties can be found on the CCSI website under “Economics of Soil Health.” The Conservation Cropping Systems Initiative was launched in 2009 with funding from the United States Department of Agriculture Natural R e s o u r c e s Conservation Service and the Indiana State Soil Conservation Board. CCSI is administered by the Indiana Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts, with many partners cooperating on the project. The Initiative organizes training workshops, field days, and research for producers around the state of Indiana to share conservation practices including no-till and cover crops with a focus on regenerative soil health.
