Commissioners approve new truck, open salt bids By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com
In a brief meeting Monday, April 16, the Wabash County
Commissioners approved purchase of a replacement truck for the county’s highway department. H i g h w a y
Superintendent John Martin presented the request. “The next item I have is to request purchasing a 2018 GMC
pickup truck from Dorais Chevrolet for $41,611,” Martin said after presenting two other requests. “While this quote was
not the low quote, the low quote didn’t meet the specs that we had sent out.” Martin said that the department received $10,000 for the wrecked truck being replaced, and noted that the plough hookup would be an additional charge. The commissioners
u n a n i m o u s l y approved the purchase, 3-0. At 9:30 a.m., the commissioners opened four bids for calcium chloride rock salt. Cargill, Inc., submitted the lowest bid at $128,336 for 1,600 tons of salt. Following them were Detroit
Salt Company at $135,472, Compass Materials at $147,712 and Morton Salt at $152,352. The commissioners took all four bids under advisement. Additional news from the meeting included Martin informing the commissioners that the bridge carrying County Road 75 East over Burr Creek opened last week, and the weekly jail report from Chief Deputy Tyler Guenin. Guenin said that Wabash County Jail held 92 inmates as of Monday, with an additional 42 in Miami County, four in Blackford County and two in Elkhart County. In the previous week, he said, the average was 93 inmates at WCJ, and 30 new inmates were booked.

Former Wabash clerk-treasurer remembered
A man of integrity who worked hard to help better the City of Wabash. That is how former Wabash ClerkTreasurer Meredith “Brownie” Brown is being remembered. Mr. Brown, 81, passed away Friday, April 6, at his home in Goodyear, Ariz. A graduate of International Business College in Fort Wayne, Mr. Brown spent 36 years as date processing manager at Wabash Magnetics. In 1996 he was elected to the post of Wabash ClerkTreasurer, an office served in for 16 years before retiring in 2012. “I thoroughly enjoyed working with “Brownie,” former Wabash Mayor R o b e r t Vanlandingham told The Paper of Wabsh County. “He was a perfect example of what a public servant should be. He was very knowledgeable about what his job required of him and he did it extremely well. “He was a man of integrity, who was highly respected as the Clerk-Treasurer for the City of Wabash.” Va n l a n d i n g h a m worked with Brown for eight of the 12 years he served as mayor. “I relied on him as a partner who helped me make important financial decisions,” Va n l a n d i n g h a m said. “Whenever we had differences of opinions, we were always able to work together to resolve them. His skill put our city in great financial shape, which allowed us to undertake many of the wonderful projects that have been completed.” Current Wabash Mayor Scott Long worked with Mr. Brown while serving on the Wabash City Council. “Meredith Brown was a mentor to me as a City Councilman, and even after he retired was willing to answer any questions I had about city
finances. He was willing to answer questions that anyone had, all you had to do was ask. “Brownie left the city in fantastic financial shape through wise investment strategies and careful budgeting of tax revenues. He left a legacy for future clerk-treasurers on how the job should be done.” Current ClerkTreasurer Wendy Frazier served as a deputy clerk under Mr. Brown. “Meredith Brown was a financial genius and guarded the City of Wabash’s assests and finances as if theyw ere his own,” she said. “Brown was very influential in my decision to run for the position of clerktreasurer when he retired. “It was his wealth of knowledge and vast understanding of the investment world that propelled the City of Wabash into the sound fiancial state that it still remains. “I had the distinct honor and privilege

to learn from the very best. He will be sorely missed as he was a long-standing staple in this community.” Bill Konyha, former President and CEO of the E c o n o m i c Development Group of Wabash County, also worked closely with Mr. Brown. “He was a very honorable man whose only interest was in serving the people of Wabash,” Konyha said. “I believe that he saw himself as the protector of the citizens’ funds on deposit with city government.” As ClerkTreasurer, Mr. Brown was often involved in various EDG projects. “He insisted that we present a data based and compelling case for the use of these funds to implement economic development projects,” Konyha said. “He asked tough questions and made me sharpen my due diligence. His attention to detail made everyone better and

Traffic stop leads to arrest of S. Whitley man ...continued from the front page working Operation Pull Over Wednesday, April 11. An NMPD press release said that, around 5:50 p.m. that night, Bechtold initiated the traffic stop near the intersection of North Sycamore and East Third streets.
Beck allegedly exited the vehicle and ran; Bechtold attempted to locate him. When Bechtold returned to the vehicle, it allegedly too off heading north on Sycamore Street at a high rate of speed. In the 700 block of
North Sycamore Street, the driver allegedly pulled into an alley and exited the vehicle again. Kirk said that Beck allegedly entered a home in the 700 block of North Sycamore Street and, when confronted by the resident, said he needed
to use their restroom. Kirk, Sgt. Nate Birch, K9 Strider and officers Brian Hammons and Isaac Adams responded to assist during that time, and received a complaint from the resident. Birch and Strider entered the home and
located Beck, who then exited through a second story window and climbed onto the roof. Kirk and Adams instructed him to keep his hands visible and stop moving; Beck walked around on the roof for a short time, hands visible,
before running down the front and jumping off the porch roof toward the street. He then ran across the street and dropped to the ground on the other side while multiple NMPD officers chased him. Officers Bechtold
and Adams apprehended Beck, with Adams holding but not using his taser during the arrest. Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department assisted NMPD. In the press release, NMPD thanked the citizens who helped that evening.

year audit completed, which, Ferguson noted, it passed with few problems. However, auditors were on site 12 hours a day, four days per week for three months. “So they’re starting a new program where towns will be submitting everything through Gateway,” Ferguson said. “The whole idea is to make it so they don’t have to be in the office so much. “They’re trying to cutback on time, so it will be cheaper for the communities.” Under the pilot pro-
gram, he said, auditors may be on site “maybe a half dozen times. Everything else can be done from their homes, or maybe from Indianapolis.” Council member Richard Morris noted that neither the town nor Ferguson did anything wrong. “The last audit was a six-year audit and it was highly recommended,” he reiterated. “It passed with flying colors. “Because of that, the Town of Roann, and Robert Ferguson, in particular, have been
selected to be on the pilot program that all the towns and cities in the state will be going to in the near future.” Ferguson will have the “honor of helping develop that program and putting his input in the questions that are going to be asked,” Morris continued. “I think that speaks highly of Bob. It’s always good having input into what questions the other towns are going to answer, also.” Ferguson later told The Paper of Wabash County that he was surprised and honored
to have been asked to participate in the program. “It shows they have confidence in me and my office,” he said. Ferguson said work on the program has already started. He has had to input a variety of background information into the Gateway computer system.

Roann gets bids to raze old school By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com ROANN – Three firms submitted bids on Tuesday, April 10, to raze the old Roann school building. The Roann Town Council received bids from: Dore & Associates Contracting, Bay City, Mich., for $256,662 S t r e b i g Construction, Fort Wayne, $347,611. Merrit & Son Excavating, Kokomo, $320,250. The Council took the bids under advisement so they could be reviewed by BCA Environmental Consultants.
The town received a $300,000 Community Development Block Grant from the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs. The building, which opened about 1941, is located adjacent to the town’s youth baseball field. Once the building is demolished, town officials plan to create a green space at the site. They also plan to keep several things from the building, including the center court portion of the basketball court, a pallet of unbroken bricks and the ornate brickwork from the building’s west
Officials hope to save the ornate brickwork on the west entrances of the old Roann School, among other things. Photo by Joseph Slacian entrances. The bricks will be used to create some type of memorial.
The Council will meet again at 11 a.m. Tuesday, April 17, to award the bid.

Dump truck crashes into Urbana Home
By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com A dump truck hauling a load of gravel crashed into an Urbana home just after 1 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, April 11. According to a crash report provided by the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department, authorities responded to reports of a dump truck crashing into a house on State Road 13 near the intersection of College Street in Urbana at approximately 1:13 p.m. Wednesday. The driver, Jeffrey A. Weimann, 63, Roann, explained that he was north-
bound on State Road 13, but that he did not know why his truck ran off the roadway and struck the residence at 210 South State Road 13. Weimann was given a blood test, and the investigation is pending the results of that test. Accordng to the report, Weimann’s vehicle was traveling along State Road 13 when it left the roadway and hit a pair of trees before coming to a rest part way lodged into the house. Due to disabling service, the truck was towed from the scene by H and Wrecker Service. Extensive damage
was done to the front of the vehicle, and the load of gravel partially spilled into the front yard of the residence, which sits near the roadway on State Road 13. No one was home at the time of the accident. According to the report, the home is owned by Mary L. Prickett. Weimann used his seat belt, but was transported from the scene with complaints of pain over his entire body. The truck is owned by Wabash County. According to the report, between $50,001 and $100,000 worth of damage was done to the truck and house.

Parkview named 2018 workplace of the year By The Paper staff FORT WAYNE – For the fourth consecutive year, Parkview Health has earned the Advisory Board Workplace of the Year Award. The annual award recognizes hospitals and health systems nationwide that have outstanding levels of employee engagement. “Our co-workers are our most valuable resource, so their
engagement is very important to us,” said Dena Jacquay, chief human resources officer, Parkview Health. “When our co-workers are engaged and demonstrating the world-class teamwork we pride ourselves in, we’re able to provide the highest level of care to the communities we serve, and our teams have a workplace they can be proud of.” Engaged employ-
ees, as defined by Advisory Board, are those who exhibit both loyalty and commitment to the organization. These employees are willing to expend discretionary effort, often going above and beyond to help the organization succeed. According to Advisory Board, the award recognizes Parkview’s commitment to creating a best-in-class work
environment for its employees. “In today’s changing and often uncertain healthcare industry, engaging the workforce is arguably more important than ever before,” said Sarah Rothenberger, managing director, Advisory Board Survey Solutions. “Not surprisingly, health care organizations with higher levels of staff engagement also have higher
patient satisfaction scores, better staff retention and a stronger culture of safety. Our award winners have demonstrated an impressive ability to inspire the highest levels of engagement across the country while maintaining remarkably low levels of disengagement.” Parkview Health is one of 20 organizations nationwide to receive the award.

As in life as on the tennis court, things can change in an instant, so stay positive. EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe enjoyable week!

FAME Festival set for April 21 Article provided
Student musical and dance performances and student art displays, along with workshops featuring guest musicians, dancers, and visual artists, will all be a part of the Wabash FAME Festival on Saturday, April 21, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Honeywell Center. Admission to the festival and participation in most activities is free. This year’s festival will spotlight the cultures of Oceania, featuring Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, Samoa, and Easter Island. Brian Kruschwitz and LuAnne Harley, known as Yurtfolk, will be the guest musical artists. They will perform music using authentic instruments from the islands, incorporating songs, dance, and some storytelling in half-hour programs at 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. in Ford Theater. They will also perform a segment during the Spotlight Concert later in the day. They will have a booth in the lobby of Honeywell Center where Brian will demonstrate instruments and then give people a chance to try to play them. He will teach some songs, share some of the stories of the islands, and LuAnne may teach some simple dances to some of the music. At another booth, festival attendees will have a chance to make two simple instruments from easily-found materials and poi balls that are used in New Zealand dancing. Brian and LuAnne’s sessions are sponsored by Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance. Guest visual artists will teach 30-minute workshops throughout the day. Local artist Candie Cooper McCoart will instruct students in making a wooden pendant necklace using black and white geometric designs in the art style of Vanuatu. Her sessions will be in the Haist Room on the main floor of Honeywell Center, starting at 9:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1 p.m. and 2 p.m.. Cooper is a jewelry designer with a passion for combining
unique materials and color combinations, inspired by extensive travel and her years living in China. She has written books about beading necklaces, metalwork, felted jewelry, and designer needle felting. She has hosted the Public Television series “Hands On” and appeared on “Beads, Baubles and Jewels.” She is an adjunct instructor at M a n c h e s t e r University and teaches through the Educational Outreach program of H o n e y w e l l Foundation. She also coordinates the art portion of the Visual Performing Arts program and teaches in the summer classes. Silver Lake artist Brenda Ramseier will combine watercolor painting with paper cutting in her sessions during which students will create a coral reef painting. Students will paint the fish and coral reef and use cutting for design detail on the fish. Sessions will be in the Nixon Room downstairs in the center, beginning at 9 a.m., 10 a.m., 11 a.m., 12:30 p.m., and 1:30 p.m.. Ramseier owns The Art Giraffe studio
where she teaches many mediums of art. She was born and raised in Indiana, graduated from Bob Jones University and received her teaching art credentials from M a n c h e s t e r University and Purdue University. She taught elementary and middle school art. Though retired from school, she is still following her love and passion for teaching by doing workshops and classes for both children and adults. This year marks the fourth year for a Composition Project as part of the FAME programming in Wabash. Seventeen fourth grade music students from throughout the county met with composer Debra Lynn and instructor Pam Haynes, both from M a n c h e s t e r University, to learn some basics about composing music. The students were divided into five groups and then researched facts about their assigned island. They investigated ways of incorporating that knowledge into their “original” themes for the composition. Using Garage Band software
on I-pads, they recorded sounds for hello and goodbye greetings from the island and then created sounds for some of the animals that might be found there. Some students also video recorded movements for the animals. Four after- school sessions took place in October at Sharp Creek Elementary. At the conclusion of the four sessions, the student projects and wove them into a larger composition entitled “Traveling Through Oceania” that will be premiered at the festival at 3:00 p.m. in Ford Theater in the Spotlight Concert. The music will be performed by the M a n c h e s t e r University Chamber Singers, with Dr. Lynn as conductor and Dr. Haynes as piano accompanist. The university singers will also sing additional repertoire during the concert. Ensemble members are Kayla Carver, Kenzie Hare, Emily Lynn, Hayley Cochran, Katrina Murray, Haley Neilson, Clayton Marcum, Jake Svay, Alvaro Castillo, Freddie Lapierre, and
Rohan Willoughby.

MSD board seeks budget info By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com Although no members of the school
board have publicly expressed support or disdain for the concept, consolidation continues to be a topic of interest for
the Metropolitan School of Wabash County. Board President Kevin Bowman on Tuesday night, April
Inclusive Park groundbreaking planned By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A groundbreaking ceremony for the city’s Inclusive Park is scheduled for 4 p.m. Wednesday, May 2. Wabash Park Superintendent Adam Hall, the Inclusive Park Committee’s cochair, announced the date when the Wabash Park Board met on Wednesday, April 11. The park committee reached its fundraising goal in March, thanks in part to Patronicity matching grant for $50,000. “It’s been years in the making,” Hall told the Park Board. The next step in the process, he said, is to get the final contract in order with H a g e r m a n Construction, the contractor on the project. “Once the contract is signed, it could be another 30 days before
we see work being done,” he said. Board member Sam Frazier asked if a completion date has been set. Plans, Hall told the board, have always been not to start work on the project until all the funding is received. “We were hoping to start a little earlier and be done at the end of June or July,” he said. “Now I think it’s going to be more August or September, but still good enough weather that kids will be playing on it.” In other matters, the Park Board awarded a bid to refurbish the Wabash City Park’s big pavilion to B’s Construction, Wabash. The firm bid $40,346.80, with an additional $1,300 added to wrap the fascia boards with painted aluminum. It was one of three
bids received by the board. Hall warned the board that the price could rise slightly, based on the cost of steel, which is expected to rise. The board also gave final approval to the Park Department’s five-year master plan. The plan is required for the city to qualify for such things as state and federal grants. It was the subject of a public hearing when the Wabash City Council met on March 19. The plan basically lists a variety of goals for the department over the next five years. Among those goals are an expansion of the city’s trail system, better lighting along the trails and bringing the various park facilities in line with the Americans With Disabilities Act.

Bowman proposed bringing Bates in to give the board an idea of what the property tax implications might be should the board vote to consolidate with another school district in the future. “The county has worked with Darren and he has a website named Data Pit Stop,” former county councilman Jeff Dawes said during the meeting. “We’ve worked with him on
budgets and tried to forecast things maybe we should change or do different. He works with a large number of counties throughout the state, and he is good with numbers. I would highly recommend him.” Bowman broached the date of May 22 for the work session, but nothing was made official at Tuesday’s meeting. In other news, MSD’s school calendar will look a little different next year. The board voted to reduce the amount of s t a f f development/Elearning day to three down from four from the 2017-2018 year, and instead added in two days as face-to-
face snow days. First semester cancellation days may be made up first semester with E-learning Saturdays. In the second semester, cancellation days will be made up first by using the face-to-face days. Subsequent cancellations days will be made up as Elearning Saturdays. Also Tuesday: — Southwood Elementary’s Valerie Law was honored with the staff spotlight. Colleague Ann Higgins nominated Law, and spoke highly of her during the meeting. “Mrs. Law, (principal Phil) Boone and I have had a lot of opportunities to work together this
school year,” Higgins said. “And, I nominated Valerie for all the extra time she put in of her own time over fall break, creating visuals for students at her building so they can be successful in a learning environment that suits them. I appreciate all you’ve done, and I know it was a lot of time in your part, so I’d like for you to be recognized for your efforts.” — The board accepted the resignation of Northfield boys varsity basketball coach Patrick Hopkins. — MSD carried a general fund balance of over $2.5 million for March.

Poole’s Meat Market continues to grow By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com
When Scott Poole got Poole’s Meat Market up and running in 2006, the market had just two employees and offered a short list of items, including beef, pork and a few grocery items. Poole has used his 20 years in the food industry to grow his business by leaps and bounds over the past 12 years, recently adding his son Taylor to the fray as well as new lines of deli meats and sauces. “This has always been my dream to have a fresh market where you can walk in here and ask to have anything cut how you want it, in the quantity you want it, and have it packaged the way you want it,” Scott said. “I’ve always stressed that customer service is a thing that’s not very often happening. We pride ourselves on the customer service end of it.” Taylor moved away to California to pur-

sue a motorcross career, and once that ended, came back home to enter the family business with his father. “It was always my dream to do that when I was in high school,” Taylor said. “ (Motorcross) didn’t work out, and this was Plan B. I’ve been here on and off since high school, and now full time for a year. Being able to help customers and give them exactly what they want (is enjoyable).
The market is also capable to smoking large amounts of meat for the purposes of catering and customers seeking large orders. Patrons can call at the beginning of the week, let the market know what they want, and have their order completed for pick up most times by Friday. “It’s something we’ve been working on for the last year, but we’ve got it perfected now,” Scott said. “It’s really starting to take off. We’ve only been offering that to customers for
And, working with your dad is fun.” Taylor has brought with him an infusion of fresh ideas to implement in the market. Thanks to him, the market is now gluten- and MSGfree. Taylor also was instrumental in bringing in two new lines of product, including Boar’s Head deli meats and Midwest Fresh sauces. “It’s a pleasure and a dream for myself
having my son work for me, “Scott said. “What he brings to the table is new ideas that I haven’t thought about, and also the social media end of it.” Poole’s also now has a smoker trailer which can hold up to 400 pounds of meat. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the market offers some smoked meat items which are fully cooked and served in the deli as a heat-andserve item.

about three weeks.” The staff has grown from two employees back in 2006 to eight full-time and four part-time employees in present day. “With that comes a few headaches, but it’s been very successful,” Scott said. “To me it’s exciting. It’s the dream I wanted. I don’t think we’re done where we’re at. I think we’ll continue to grow.” The market has grown from its humble beginnings to a full-service grocery store today, offering 40 different cheeses,
home made bratwurst and beef jerky, as well as salads that are made fresh in house. “These are some strong points that have made us successful in what we’re doing different from another store,” Scott said. “We want to offer something you can’t get anywhere else. We’re not so concerned about the price. We’re worried about the quality and the service. That’s the main goal – our mission. My motto is “A cut above,” and I think we’re there.”

VIEWPOINT Playground committee appreciates support Dear Editor, Wabash’s Inclusive Playground committee would like to thank everyone who participated in our “$50K in 50 Days” Patronicity crowdfunding campaign. Your donations during this time helped the Inclusive Playground earn a $50,000 match from the CreatINg Places program, a partnership between Patronicity and the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority. We received so much support during this campaign and wanted to show our appreciation to everyone who helped make it happen. Aside from making donations, we want to thank everyone who supported our efforts by attending our fundraisers and events, sharing our posts on social media, participating in our contests, and generally helping us to keep the spirit of our campaign alive during those fifty days. A special thanks to all of the businesses and organizations that hosted fundraisers during our “$50K in 50 Days” campaign including Harvey Hinklemeyers, Wellbrooke of
Wabash, Culver’s restaurant, Modoc’s Market, Goodfellas Pizza, Charley Creek Inn, Knights of Columbus, The Noisemaker, The Access, Stella & Dot consultant Krissy Cunningham, Nerium consultant Natalie Unger and ThirtyOne consultant Kari Johnson. Thanks also to Chapman’s Wabash for allowing us to host our family game night at their taproom, Smokin’ For a Cause for providing the food for that
event, and Servisoft Ecowater for providing water for that event. Additionally, we would like to say a huge thank you to our local elementary schools for holding “Pennies for Play” fundraisers. OJ Neighbours Elementary, Southwood Elementary, Metro North Elementary, Sharp Creek Elementary, and St. Bernard Elementary all hosted the “Pennies for Play” competi-
Hicks deserves consideration To the Editor, There are five candidates running for Sheriff of Wabash County in the Republican Primary and I know four of them. Each would do a good job if elected. However I will be supporting Steve Hicks for this position because I believe he is a candidate with substance and he will do a great job. I have known Steve Hicks for several years and worked alongside him many times. He has worked in about every position and rank at the jail and served as Major (the second ranking officer) for a time. This is important because as Sheriff he is going to need this knowledge while dealing with a variety of issues as they arise. He knows how to handle anything from citizens’ complaints to major crimes scenes. He won’t have to guess what to do, he has already done it. He is a Crime Scene Investigator certified through extensive training with the Indiana State Police. This is a really big accomplishment that I haven’t seen done by any other officer in Wabash County. When I had a crime scene that needed his expertise, he was there. With his collection of evidence we were able to make an arrest. He has worked with me on many other situations. He always treated me respectfully and as an equal. Steve has a vision for the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department starting from day one. In taking the time to talk with Steve you will not get the standard cookie cutter answers to your questions. He has in depth information on many subjects and will take the time to explain them to you. School security is an issue on everyone’s
mind. Active shooter training is essential in today’s law enforcement. Steve wants to take this one step further and not only train law enforcement but he sees a need to train with dispatchers, firefighters and emergency medical technicians so everyone can be on the same page in case of an emergency. Steve Hicks has many “out of the box” ideas that are based in common sense and has done a tremendous amount of research in hopes of getting them implemented if he is honored to be elected as Sheriff. Steve Hicks knows the entire county. He knows where Chester and Pleasant Townships are along with Disko, Laketon, Liberty Mills, North Manchester and Servia. He has spent a lot of duty time patrolling these areas. He is familiar with the residents and what to look for to protect and serve them. It was always kind of a joke at the North Manchester Police Department that we could tell when there was a Sheriff ’s election coming up. Candidates running for that position would drop in frequently and sit around and talk with us. As soon as the election was over, poof- they were gone until the next election. Steve Hicks has been involved in our area, working with the North Manchester Police Department and alongside its officers for many years- no background check required. Having a Sheriff that already has established bonds with these officers will greatly benefit these two departments. I am voting for Steve Hicks for Sheriff of Wabash County. I hope you will too. — Steve Olsen, North Manchester
tions. Collectively the schools raised an astounding $12,000 from those fundraisers! Southwood Elementary also hosted a fundraiser event that helped boost their total funds collected to over $6,400! The generosity of these kids and their families is truly amazing, and their efforts go to show that every penny counts. We also want to thank Northfield High School for donating the proceeds from their annual charity intramural basketball game and the Northfield Key Club for donating $1,000 to the campaign from fundraisers they held on our behalf. We are honored that these schools were willing to spend the time and effort to support our cause. Finally, we would like to thank Patronicity and the IHCDA for this crowdfunding and matching opportunity that allowed us to finish out our fundraising and move towards the construction process that will make this dream of inclusive play a reality! In starting this campaign, we were just hoping that the community would believe in this
project and support us with $50,000 in donations so that we could get that $50,000 match. You all knocked it out of the park and your donations far exceeded our wildest expectations. Donations were made both online through the Patronicity website and offline through the Community Foundation, the fiscal sponsor of the project. Our most recent funding report shows that our total raised from both online and offline donations was more than $89,000!! The playground is now officially fully funded and construction should begin this spring. Should there be any remaining funds not used for construction, a maintenance fund will be created with those funds for future maintenance or repairs needed for this playground. There are just not enough words of thanks to tell this community how grateful we are for your support. This playground will be your playground, and we can’t wait to get it done for you to enjoy! - Wabash’s Inclusive Playground Committee
Baker would do fine job as county sheriff Dear Editor: There’s an old saying: “The only source of knowledge is experience”; I hope sharing a few of my experiences will be of help to my friends and neighbors as they ponder their vote in this year’s election… Part of my day-to-day includes opportunity to meet various groups and individuals. We dream together, work alongside one another and take time to consider the current and future well being of our community. Throughout the years, I have sat with Ryan Baker in meetings, and served food alongside him at charity events. I have watched as he took time out of his day to play ping-pong with kids that needed to know they mattered. I have seen him show up with bags of food at just the right time. Ryan has this unique ability to make the person he is speaking to, regardless of age or background, feel safe and at ease. This is important to me, and to those I walk with in our community. I have also had the privilege of seeing Ryan in his role (from his
beginnings as a Jail Officer to his current position as Detective Sergeant) at the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Dept. He approaches his responsibilities in a manner that instills confidence in those around him and calm in those facing extreme situations. This steadiness allows room for ideas and solutions that may have been lost in the noise of tension and chaos. I appreciate the fact that Ryan values the importance of education in his role, but mostly I appreciate the way he is willing to share that knowledge with his community. There are those who “do” in order to receive praise and promotion and those who “do” because it’s the right thing. I can say with certainty that Ryan Baker is in the latter group. I am voting for Ryan Baker for Sheriff of Wabash County because I believe his leadership style, communication skills, focus on servanthood, emphasis on continuing education, and desire to protect every neighbor is the right thing for our county and our communities. – Liz Hobbs, Wabash

Keep campaign signs out of rights-of-way By The Paper staff
INDIANAPOLIS — As primary elections approach, the Indiana Department of Transportation reminds Hoosiers that campaign signs are prohibited from state right-of-way according to Indiana Code 9-21-46. INDOT personnel are required by state law to remove all unauthorized signs within the state right-of-way. Areas that should remain sign-free include: Intersections Interchanges Rights-of-way that run parallel to highways Where the right of way is not clearly marked, boundaries may be estimated as the fence line, the back
of the ditch or behind utility poles. INDOT personnel will remove campaign signs and other illegal signs from right-ofway—pursuant to code —as they are encountered in normal highway maintenance activities. Crews may also remove a specific sign if it presents an immediate safety risk, such as being too close to the roadway or creating a sight obstruction. Campaign signs placed off the right-of-way will not be removed. Removed signs will be taken to the nearest INDOT facility. Campaign signs may be claimed by the owner between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, except for holidays.

Museum offers behind-the-scenes tour By The Paper staff The Wabash County Historical Museum is home to some 175,000 artifacts, many of which are being pre-
served in their lower level storage or in the Richard E. Ford Archives and Research Center. The museum, as part of its “Your
History. Your Museum.” Campaign, will be offering public tours of their collections storage spaces. These tours will allow guests to see items not
often available for public viewing and also learn about the preservation processes used by the Museum. The tours will take place on Tuesday, April 24, and Thursday, April 26, at 10 a.m., 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. To ensure the safety of the collection and guests, space is very limited for each tour and no children will be permitted. “The museum is honored to store some of Wabash County’s most important documents and objects but unfortunately, the casual visitor doesn’t always get to have access to these items,”
said Mitch Figert, President and CEO of the museum. “Our hope is to not only highlight some of these important objects, but also to share the work we do every day behind the scenes to ensure these items will be around for future generations.” Over the past year, the museum has taken steps to improve collection management and storage. Thanks in part to a Heritage Support Grant from the Indiana Historical Society, collection management policies have been refreshed, volunteers have been trained, and storage
spaces have been redesigned. In addition, new technology has been purchased to allow for scanning and digitizing of items, and countless acid-free boxes have been ordered and filled with artifacts. However, with more than 175,000 artifacts, the team at the Museum has only made a small dent in the collection over the past few months. “By allowing individuals to see behind the scenes at the Museum our hope is to get more people engaged with the Museum as a volunteer, donor, or simply by visiting the Museum if they
haven’t been here before” said Figert. Due to safety and security guidelines, space for each tour is limited. Those interested should contact the Museum at 260563-9070 to reserve a spot. The cost for the tours is free for Museum Members and included with daily admission for non-members. The Wabash County Historical Museum is located at 36 E Market Street in Downtown Wabash. The Museum’s normal operating hours are Tuesday through Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Health Department warns of synthetic marijuana dangers From the ISHD
INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) is warning Hoosiers about the dangers of synthetic cannabinoids, often called fake weed, K2, spice, OMG, Scooby Snacks, AK-47 or other names, after reports this month that individuals in Illinois and Indiana suffered severe bleeding after using the substances. “Synthetic cannabinoids contain hundreds of chemicals, and it is difficult to know what’s in them or how people will react to the ingredients,” said State Health Commissioner
SERVICE DIRECTORY CONTINUED ON PAGE 33
Kris Box, MD, FACOG. “These substances can cause severe, even lifethreatening, bleeding. We have seen cases increase dramatically overnight in Illinois and know at least one person in Indiana has reported severe bleeding after using synthetic cannabinoids.” Synthetic cannabinoids act on the same brain cell receptors as the main active ingredient in marijuana. While they are often marketed as safe and legal alternatives to marijuana, the health effects from synthetic cannabinoids can be unpredictable and harmful. Many of these products are packaged in ways that
appeal to youth. Healthcare providers, schools and health departments encountering unusual cases of bleeding in individuals should inquire about potential exposures to synthetic marijuana. Anyone who has a serious reaction to synthetic cannabinoids should call 911 or go to the emergency department i m m e d i a t e l y. Individuals who experience bleeding symptoms should not take themselves to the emergency department but should instead call 911 or have someone drive them.

Halderman to play football at Taylor By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com As a freshman at Northfield High School, Joe Halderman approached coach Brandon Baker and asked what he needed to do to play for the Norse. “I just want to play varsity,” Baker said Monday, April 16, recalling the conversation. “I told him, ‘We’re going to be short lineman in a couple of years. He said, ‘I’ll do it.’ And that’s how he became a lineman. He just wanted to be on the field.” The hard work and effort paid off for Halderman, who on Monday signed a letter of intent to continue his football career at Taylor University. “He made himself into a heck of a football player,” Baker said. “He’s worked hard in the off season. He’s worked hard during the season. He works in the weight room. “It’s fun to watch him take the next step.” Halderman recalled the conversation with Baker. “I wanted to be on the field,” he said. “I thought the best way to do that is to talk with the head coach. He’s been such a great influence on me. I’ve loved having him as a head coach.” While at Northfield, Halderman played defensive end, left offensive tackle and long snapper. He was first in Class A in tackles for loss with 28.5, and also had 90 total tackles during hi senior season. As a senior, Halderman served
as team captain and helped lead the Norse to a 7-3 record, making the 2018 senior class the winning class in Northfield football history. Accolades came to Halderman in droves his senior year. He was named an All Region 5 defensive end, as well as Class A First Team All-State defensive end. He also was named to the Three Rivers Conference first team as a defensive end and was a TRC Academic honorable mention. Halderman also was name to the All-Wabash County first team as a defensive end and second team as an offensive tackle. During his junior year, he received Class A All State honorable mention honors as a defensive end, and Class A Junior All State honors, also at defensive end. He was named to the TRC first team as a defensive end, and received TRC Academic honorable mention. He was also named to the All-Wabash County first team as a defensive end and second team as an offensive tackle. “I am excited to attend Taylor University, major in business management and play football for the Trojans,” Halderman said. “The family atmosphere at Taylor combined with the Christian foundation attracted me to the university. “I chose coach Korfmacher and his program because of the connection I felt with the coaching staff and players combined with their past success.” Taylor finished the 2017 season with a 4-6 overall record, 2-4 in the Mid-States Football Association.

During each section, an organization or service will host a discussion or event. They include the African Student Association, Disability Services, poverty studies, Feminist Student Union, Students for Justice in Palestine, United Sexualities and Genders, Advocates of the Mind, and the Campus Interfaith Board. These sessions, at 11 a.m. and noon, are open to the public. At 8 p.m. Thursday, April 26, “Turning Hurt into Art” will be presented on the steps of Funderburg Library. That Friday, there be a “Mix it Up @ Lunch!” event at Haist to encourage members of the MU community to cross social boundaries and talk to those with whom they might not normally interact. Saturday events include an Empty Bowls fundraiser for Heifer International from 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
on the University Mall, followed by a free performance of “Where Rivers Meet” at 1:30 p.m. in Wine R e c i t a l Hall.https://www.m anchester.edu/rivers 2018 At the fundraiser, soup will be served in bowls crafted by members of North Manchester community, and MU students, faculty and staff. There will be music, door prizes and activities for children. The suggested donation is $5 for students and children, and $10 for others. H e i f e r International and MU have deep connections. Its founder, Dan West, was a member of the Church of the Brethren and graduated from Manchester in 1917. Our school was chosen several years ago by Heifer International to be home to a permanent display in his honor. The exhibit in Funderburg features memorabilia reflect-
ing West’s life – from his years as a conscientious objector during World War I to his service as an aid worker during the Spanish Civil War to his life-changing work through the Heifer Project. West started the project in 1944 and died in 1971. The Empty Bowls fundraiser is sponsored by the Campus Interfaith Board in partnership with the Peace Studies Institute, Art D e p a r t m e n t , Chartwells and area businesses. The Peace Studies Institute, establish at Manchester in 1948, was the first undergraduate peace studies program in the world. MU is currently building the Jean Childs Young Intercultural Center that will become a regional focal point for discussions about diversity and inclusion, civic engagement and civil discourse.
