Wabash wins Small Business contest

Amanda Brinkman, Deluxe Corporation’s Chief Marketing Officer, was in town for the celebration at the Historic Eagles Theatre.

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Residents, business owners and various officials celebrated Thursday, May 12, after the City of Wabash cleared the first hurdle in the Deluxe Corporation’s Small Business Revolution Main Street contest. The city won the online voting contest by nearly 10,000 votes, defeating Silverton, Ore., in the contest which sees the winning community receiving $500,000 in goods and services from Deluxe. Between 200 and 300 people filled the Historic Eagles Theatre to view a video and hear Amanda Brinkman, Deluxe’s Chief Marketing Officer, say the words, “The winner of Small Business Revolution Main Street is … Wabash, Indiana.” With those words, the crowd erupted and balloons and streamers began to fly. Audience members, many wiping away tears, hugged one another and shared handshakes and slaps on the back. Brinkman, who made a personal appearance in the winning community, made her way to the Eagles Theatre stage moments after the film announcing

the winner was complete. “You guys came together,” she told the crowd. “You kicked this thing’s butt. You were down by 4,000 votes at one point, and you won by nearly 10,000, “That is just incredible.” The contest was designed to put spotlight on small businesses around the country. The firm began receiving nominations in January and Wabash and Silverton were selected as the two finalists. “We originally talked about this as being a makeover to a Main Street,” Brinkman said. “What I’m really touched by, especially in Wabash, is you don’t need a makeover. Perhaps you just need a little enhancement. “You need the rest of the world to realize what an incredible community this is. That’s what this project will do.” She noted that since the two finalists were named, countless media outlets have run stories on the event. “The whole point of this, again, is to start a conversation about how important small businesses are to our communities and to our small towns,” Brinkman said. Crews will return next week to begin filming the web series which will debut (continued on page 3)

EMA, Emergency Planning Committee test public safety agencies By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com It started with a phone call. “This is a drill and we have a chlorine leak, looks like a fatality and several people with breathing problems,” Terry Hobbs, Real Alloy employee,

called into 9-1-1 Saturday morning, May 14. Then the test began. More than 15 public safety agencies and local organizations participated in a disaster drill on Saturday morning at the Real Alloy complex. (continued on page 9)

Wabash wins Small Business contest ... continued from the front page later this fall. The crews also will begin meeting with community leaders to figure out how the money should be used to help Wabash move forward. “We’re going to sit down with some of the small businesses and try to figure out what some of their needs are,” Brinkman later told The Paper of Wabash County and Wabash WebTV. “We’re going to sit down with town officials and figure

out how to allocate the money and what would make the biggest differences in the community.” Those involved with the program and promoting the project locally were ecstatic with the victory. “This is a win for all of us,” said Christine Flohr, executive director of Visit Wabash County. “This is a great example of the power of social media. “This is a great example of what

community is.” W a b a s h Marketplace Inc. Executive Director Steve Downs was all smiles after the announcement. “I’m just happy for the people who helped on this,” he said. “For our small business owners, I can’t say enough. “As one of the leaders and organizers of the contest, it meals a lot to me. But who it means the most for are the people who are out their every

day, opening the doors and trying to get people to shop local.” Matt Haynes, owner of Filament Tattoo, was among the small business owners present for the announcement. “It’s an absolute relief,” he said, admitting that he was nervous when early voting showed the city down by 4,000 votes. Mayor Scott Long also was pleased by the outcome, noting

that he reached out to fellow mayors around the state seeking their support in the contest. He said hopes to one day be able to payback their support. Several celebrities also came out in support of Wabash. Country superstar and Wabash High School graduate Crystal Gayle tweeted out her support and urged her fans to vote for Wabash.

Manchester U graduates 272 students From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER – M a n c h e s t e r University honored its 272 newest alumni on Saturday, May 14. Commencement 2016 marked a milestone in Manchester University history as it conferred its first Doctor of Pharmacy degrees. That also meant two commencement ceremonies. The first was for the pharmacy and master’s candidates at 10 a.m. in Cordier Auditorium. It was marked by a one-minute standing ovation, after which President Dave McFadden’s response was, “All I can say is ‘Wow!’” President Emerita Jo Young Switzer offered the charge to the graduates: “Be a person of ability and conviction, always.” She offered four guiding principles, at once easy and difficult: Be respectful. Be accurate. Speak up for fairness. Always be truthful.

The Manchester University graduating class of 2016 makes the walk across campus to the graduation ceremonies Saturday afternoon. Photo by Eric Christiansen There were 50 doctoral candidates in the Pharmacy Program and seven in Master’s of Athletic Training. Commencement for undergraduates was 2:30 p.m. in the Physical Education and Recreation Center. Degrees were conferred to 215 undergraduates. T h e Commencement speaker at both ceremonies, Melanie A. Duiguid-May, was

conferred with the Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters. The 1976 Manchester graduate is the John Price Crozer Professor of Theology at Colgate Rochester Divinity School in Rochester N.Y. She told the story of a teacher who asked his followers, “Are you able to drink the cup?” She challenged graduates respond to contemporary challenges and told them they were born to be

transformers. They are called upon to practice hospitality in a world of barriers, where so many are seen as the “other.” Her sentiments were echoed by McFadden. “The world needs you. “Go get ’em!” &)&' &*) '!+ '( !). &*'! '( )/(

THE PAPER 6 Indiana’s YMCAs announce statewide membership reciprocity plan www.thepaperofwabash.com

By The Paper staff For more than 160 years, YMCAs in Indiana have been helping youth, adults, and families reach their health and wellbeing goals through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body. May 1, 2016 will mark a historic day, as Indiana’s YMCAs announce the “My Y Is Every Y in Indiana” statewide membership reciprocity program. Recognizing that the

Y is one movement and officials want to encourage members to utilize the Y as often as they can in order to meet their health and wellness goals, Ys have turned their attention toward implementing a reciprocity program that provides the convenience necessary for Y members to utilize a Y in a different location when traveling, near a workplace, or in another region. The program allows active, full facility/full privilege members the flexi-

May 18, 2016

bility to use all 43 Y facilities in Indiana and also increases the value of Y membership. Wabash County YMCA CEO Clint Kugler said, “Reciprocity is the perfect opportunity to meet members where they are, whether that is in Wabash or in another community. “At the Y, we are continually looking for ways to make it easier

for members to enhance their wellbeing and reach their wellness goals. In order to do that, memberships are now designed to remove barriers— whether you live in one community and work in another, frequently travel around the state, or simply want to take the family to visit another Y facility for a change of pace—every Indiana Y is your Y.” Through the reci-

procity program, those holding membership at any of Indiana’s 43 membership associations will be treated as regular members at any other association, will be able to register for programs at member rates and will receive member benefits at each membership association. Y members interested in participating in the program should inquire at the Y in

which they hold their membership (home Y), and will be required to use their home Y at least 51 percent of the time. “The alliance of Indiana’s YMCAs is one of the nation’s strongest,” said Brent Wake, the executive director of the Indiana State Alliance of YMCAs. “We recognize our members’ and communities’ perception of there being One Y, and

My Y Is Every Y builds on that perception to position us to be the backbone that supports Hoosiers’ meeting their health and wellness goals.” For more information on the My Y Is Every Y in Indiana, contact Patty Godfroy at 260-5639622 or via email at pgodfroy@wabashcountyymca.org

YMCA summer programs merge By The Paper staff Wabash County YMCA’s SPARK program and Summer Day Camp will now be offered as one camp. For five weeks, from June 13 to July 15, campers can now enjoy both summer programs in one setting. Three years ago, SPARK began as a summer learning loss prevention program. As part of the program’s agenda, local Wabash City Schools and MSD of Wabash County

teachers provided participants with academic enrichment in a learning environment. Now, this academic enrichment will be available to all campers of Summer Day Camp. The camp, which was previously located at the YMCA facility, will also change locations to merge with SPARK. The camp’s location will now be at O.J. Neighbours Elementary School. Campers will visit the YMCA weekly for swim lessons and also take field trips each Friday. “We are excited to be

able to provide the high-quality academic enrichment to more youth this summer, while still making sure youth who need extra support receive it,” Patty Godfroy, director of member experience, said. As in previous summers, local schools have nominated youth to receive scholarships to attend SPARK at no cost. These scholarships cover the entire cost for camp. SPARK also has a limited number of open enrollment spaces for any youth. These spaces are available for youth finishing

Kindergarten and entering first grade through finishing fourth grade and entering fifth grade. Families can enroll their child for one week up to all eight weeks, from June 6 to July 29. “At SPARK, campers will learn how to be responsible and resourceful, work in groups, solve problems and make decisions that will help them grow as individuals— all while having fun and feeling like they belong,” Godfroy said. “We want every camper to start school where they need to be

academically and telling their friends that they had the best summer ever.” Registration for the upcoming camp season is now open. Youth who have been nominated to receive scholarships will be notified through their school. To ensure that all youth have the chance to experience SPARK, the YMCA also offers financial assistance to those in need.

year partnership, Tractor Supply has raised more than $9.2 million for 4-H programs across the country through Paper Clover Campaigns in both the fall and spring season. “This spring’s Paper Clover Campaign was a huge success thanks to our dedicated customers,” said Christi Korzekwa, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Tractor Supply. “We exceeded our goal, and we couldn’t have done it without them. These campaigns give us the opportunity to enhance our store’s communities and provide support to our valued partner in National 4-H Council and its local programs.” Shoppers at Tractor Supply Company and Del’s Feed and Food Supply stores had the opportunity to purchase paper clovers between April 13 – April 24 for $1 or more during checkout. The effort has provided direct support for local camps, afterschool programs and

other activities, and has granted scholarships to these events so that youth can explore their interests in everything from animal science to robotics. “It is extremely gratifying to witness the significant and consistent growth in the Paper Clover Campaign,” said Jennifer Sirangelo, president & CEO, National 4-H Council. “We are proud of this important partnership with Tractor Supply Company, which raises resources to help support 4-H positive youth development programs in local communities across the United States,” added Sirangelo. Seventy percent of the funds raised benefit state and local 4-H youth development program activities, such as local camps and after-school programs, and granted scholarships for 4-H youth in the communities where Tractor Supply and Del’s stores are located. Thirty percent of the total funds are donated to National 4-H

Parkview Wabash to begin clinical rotations By The Paper staff A partnership between the IU School of Medicine, the North Central Indiana Area Health Education Center (AHEC) and Parkview Wabash Hospital is bringing third-year medical students to Wabash for family practice rotations. The four-week clinical rotations are supervised by James Bain, MD, family practitioner, at American Health Network. “I have been doing this for some time. It gives students who may come from urban and suburban backgrounds an opportunity to get out of the ‘big city’ and become

exposed to the very different dynamics of a small town medical practice,” Bain said. “In both my pharmacy and medical school training, many physicians and pharmacists made time to help train and mentor students and I view this as an opportunity to “pay it forward” to the next generation of practitioners.” AHEC is a national program funded largely in Indiana by the State Department of Health. There are eight Indiana AHEC districts. AHEC works to increase awareness of potential healthcare careers among students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Additionally,

School of Medicine’s Department of Family Medicine encourages third-year medical students to practice primary care in rural or medically underserved settings after they graduate. “Less than 10 percent of family medicine physicians practice in rural areas in Indiana,” Whaley said. “The more we are able to immerse medical students into underserved areas, the more students can develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to care for the whole patient within the context of family and community. This will result in a more meaningful relationship

AHEC provides continuing education programs for healthcare professionals and facilitates clinical rotations of healthcare students into rural and medically underserved communities. “Clinical training at a school of medicine alone is not enough to develop communitybased clinical competencies and recruit new physicians into rural family medicine locations,” said Cathy Whaley, Director of the Northeast Indiana Area Health Education Center (AHEC), housed at Ball State University.

Stirring it up with Angie Baer It’s a good feeling to say that I’ve spent a fair amount of time this past week sorting, organizing and purging unwanted clutter to reclaim lost closet space. Living in an old farm house with limited storage for 30 years has never allowed me to be a keeper of “stuff ”. My collection of cookbooks is ANGIE BAER quite an exception. I haven’t actually made an exact count of just how many cookbooks I own,but a good estimate would be around 150 in all. Each cookbook is special to me and contains it’s own story of my life. When I was a little girl, my Grandma gave me my first cookbook. It was called Betty Crocker’s Cookbook for Boys and Girls. My brother Robert gave me the 1982 edition of Fannie Farmers Cookbook on my wedding day. Many of my books were given to me by my Grandma when I was a young bride and first starting out. Some of them have handwritten side notes from her. They are priceless to me and I could never part with them. It’s easy to spot a good, used cookbook.

doors at 104 W. Market St. for the first time on Friday, May 6. The store specializes in women’s apparel and offers a wide variety of secondhand and vintage fashion, sizes 00 to 26, all handpicked by storeowner and stylist Darcy Vail. “I sell brands from Forever 21 and H&M to Express, Lucky Brand, Banana Republic, J.Crew” Vail told The Paper of Wabash County, “and then, something really exciting is that at the end of this month I’m going to get in high end designer clothing. “I’m getting in everything from Versace to Prada to Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton. I also have other super exciting news,” she continued. “Candie Cooper is going to start selling her jewelry here. We’ve been talking about it for quite some time and she just felt like bellazo would be a really good fit for her jewelry.” Although bellazo does not offer consignment, the store is not synonymous with Goodwill or Plato’s Closet. All of the items are carefully selected

by Vail. “I take Mondays and Tuesdays off here and I usually head south down to Indy and I’ve ended up in Bloomington before,” Vail said. “People kind of have a hard time when they hear ‘secondhand clothing’ or ‘used clothing,’ but everything is in mint condition. It’s all been washed and all of it’s in perfect shape. “I feel like I have so many different styles that I love. I love kind of the boho chic look. I love the edgy look. … When I go out and shop, I just think of what I hear from people who come in, what they like and always listen to what they want.” Vail’s also offered some personal styling opinions to women who’ve stopped by, she continued. The transition from Canal Street to Market Street happened “very quickly,” according to Vail. “This building was empty and I needed a bigger place so it happened, I moved within a week,” she explained. Vail said she started bellazo – which she named after her

Darcy Vail, store owner, stands in front of the new storefront of bellazo: Revived Style. Vail’s apparel shop was originally located on Canal Street before it relocated to Market Street.

ture and it’s like I do that with clothing. So it’s in my blood.” So far Vail has received a ton of support from the community. “It’s been pretty much busy since I opened my doors,” she said. “With Marelli’s and the Bash Boutique, I shop (personally) at all of them. I buy my Amber perfume from the Bash. I

buy my candle’s from Marelli’s. “So we all support each other and I think the thing about my place is it (offers) a variety of different styles and that’s what makes it really fun. You never know what you’re going to find, what treasure (will be here). “I want to make Wabash look good,” she joked.

EMA, Emergency Planning Committee test public safety agencies ... continued from page 2 The drill was conducted by the Wabash County Emergency Management Agency and the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC). “What we’re doing is actually we’re testing our Local Emergency Planning Committee’s hazardous materials emergency response plan,” Bob Brown, Wabash County EMA assistant director and incident commander, said. “Every county has one and they’re required to test certain parts of that plan every year.” Sometimes these tests are at a table with PowerPoint pre-

sentations and other times they’re fullscale, on-site drills, Brown continued. “If we were just doing what we would call a table-top, we would have about 20 people,” he said. “There’s probably going to be about 30 to 40 people involved with this today.” The main disaster drill theme was a simulated chlorine spill at Real Alloy, which resulted in a fatality. Several other subdrills also occurred at the same time. “Also here, we’re having an employee that’s doing the evacuation that’s going to fall and basically

break an arm or a leg or hit their head,” Gary Huddleston, drill environment manager, told The Paper of Wabash County, “and then they’re also going to have some person play a truck driver who is here and, basically, is having heart attack type symptoms, because we’re testing what the hospital is doing.” The drills were both a test and challenge to evaluate public safety officers on their knowledge of handling a possibly reallife disaster, according to Keith Walters, EMA executive director. “It’s been a learning experience, so it’s been a good thing,” Walters said. “You always train. This is a training session (but) it’s also an actual event, so it’s learning (experience) and hopefully, after we put our after-action report together, we can say we can fix this

EMA, Emergency Planning Committee test public safety agencies ... continued from page 8 a vital role in the drill, according to Brown. “It’s important (that each agency is present) so we can work together and be sure that everything comes together the way it’s supposed to,” Brown said. The exercise tested the participating agencies on operational coordination, communication systems, public information and warning, and situational assessment. Additionally, Parkview Wabash Hospital, the American Red Cross and Real Alloy conducted drills in conjunction with the LEPC’s main drill. The hospital tested its surge capacity at

the emergency room while the American Red Cross conducted a drill setting up emergency housing for the surrounding area, according to Brown. Real Alloy tested employees on plant evacuation and the guidelines for emergency plans at the scene of a hazardous materials release. These drills are conducted because the situations are abnormal from these agencies’ daily occurrences, according to Larry Hamby, drill evaluator. “It’s not something that happens with them every day,” Hamby said. “They’re more focused on fire, injury.”

At each location, drill evaluators assessed the responders’ actions, noting any mistakes made. “(Real Alloy is) doing our internal part of ‘Are we checking to get our people out?’ ‘Are we checking to make sure everybody’s accounted for?’” Huddleston said. “And then, from the Emergency Management side, it’s ‘How do they approach the scene?’ ‘Do they establish the right command center?’ among other things.” Once the drills concluded, the evaluators met with the participants to provide player feedback and discuss the series of events, what went well and what could

be done better. “It’s always impor-

tant to know that your systems work,” Brown said. “You

Longtime NM elementary educator retires Kathy Hawkins is ‘ready for the next step’ By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

NORTH MANCHESTER – M a n c h e s t e r Elementary School teacher Kathy Hawkins is retiring after 28 years of educating Laketon and North Manchester youth. Since 1988, Hawkins has taught approximately 700 youngsters at two different schools, across four different grades and with seven different principals. She also received two Teacher Creativity grants from the Community Foundation of Wabash County in 2006 and 2014. “I was three years president of Manchester’s Teachers Association and I’m very proud of that,” Hawkins said with a laugh, reciting her “numbers.” She’s also been a “beacon” for promoting the arts in the North Manchester community, according to daughter Sarah

Hawkins Moan. “My mom has done a lot with doing shows for younger kids, bringing live music and theater into her classroom, taking it out into the community, especially through our church, Zion Lutheran Church, and through the Firehouse,” Moan said. “And I just think that’s fantastic because as a result, I think North Manchester and Wabash County – through her efforts as well as a lot of other people’s efforts – has been a really great place to have opportunity for art which is not something that you get in small communities.” Hawkins received her bachelor’s degree in education in 1978 from the University of Minnesota and was certified to teach preschool through eighth grade. In the 1980s, together with her husband, Jeff, she moved to North Manchester where she eventually began her role as an iconic youth educator. Her first classroom was in the former Laketon Elementary

School. “We moved here (to North Manchester) in the January or February and then I (substituted) that spring,” Hawkins said. “Then I got job teaching fourth grade in the fall.” Eventually, the Laketon school had to be razed due to wear over the years. “It was a really beautiful school but really it was showing its age,” she said. “We’d have bats fly into the room. There was a coal furnace in the basement where I taught where the smoke would back up and come down the halls. “What was so cool was when we got ready to (move into the new school), once that got built, we took all our stuff and the kids, and we had the kids carry all the books into the brand new classrooms.” After 14 years, Hawkins left Laketon Elementary and joined Manchester Elementary’s team of teachers. “I knew that they were talking about reconfiguration and I just wanted to get back into town,” she

explained. “So Loree Pritchard retired here and I went to first grade, I took her position.” In all, Hawkins taught fourth grade for six years, kindergarten for eight years, first grade for six years and second grade for eight years at the two school systems. She always wanted to “land” in second grade, Hawkins said, and so when two second grade teachers retired, she took the opportunity. “So what I did is myself and my first graders, we did what we call a ‘loop,’” she continued. “So the first graders and myself, we all went to second grade together and we had a second year. I think those kids are juniors now. “That was so much fun. It was a great class and we were together for two years and that was really hard to see those guys go to third grade.” Over the years, Moan has watched her mother grow. “It’s cool, because my mom, I’ve seen her grow from being like a really wonderful kind of maternal fig-

ure in a lot of kids’ lives,” Moan explained, “to actually now being more of a grandmother figure to kids and their parents in school because she has kids of kids that she had when they were (young).” In 2007, she earned her master’s degree from Indiana U n ive r s i t y - P u rd u e University Fort Wayne. “I waited until my own two kids, Sarah and Zachary, got out of the house,” she said. “It was great timing. I was really ready to learn new stuff.” Her motto is “I never stop learning,” according to Hawkins’ daughter. “No matter what she does, she’s going to keep learning and she’s going to keep growing and she’s going to keep expanding her horizons,” Moan said, “and that’s just so inspiring to me. Life doesn’t stop just because you stop your day job. You get to do so many more things. “I’m really proud of her, for everything that she’s done and everything that’s she’s going to do. One of Moan’s proudest moments of her mother’s accomplishments was when Hawkins acted in

M a n c h e s t e r University’s “The Foreigner.” “My mom, most people know her from her musicals,” Moan explained, “and my mom really doesn’t do a lot of straight plays and so to see her do that I know it kicked her butt. But I was so darn proud of her because she did something that she was both scared of and that challenged her.” One of Hawkins’ favorite moments over the years was 24 four years ago, when she was teaching fourth grade at Laketon Elementary. “It was early on (in my career) and there was a team of us that went down to Indy,” she said. “Laketon had gotten a grant and we brought the first computers for Laketon School back. “We came back and did a computer lab. … That was very scary and pretty amazing when you think now how much technology (we have).” Hawkins loves teaching, getting kids excited for learning and, especially, the people she works with. “I know teaching has changed,” she said. “Technology’s changing it. The government’s changing it, but it’s all about the

kids you teach and the people you teach with and that’s what will be hard for me to leave.” So, why leave? “There’s so much other stuff I want to do,” she explained. “I turn 60 this year and I love teaching, but it is exhausting and there’s too much other stuff I want to do while I still have some energy.” But now it’s time to start the next chapter. “A couple years ago, Susan Klingler, who was a dear friend and she taught English up at the high school, she died of pancreatic cancer,” Hawkins said, tears welling in her eyes. “You know, life is short and I just don’t want to take anything for granted.” She’s going to miss the children, she continued. “But I’ll sub, I’ll be around,” she said. “We know it’ll be different. But I’m ready for the next chapter.” Hawkins said she’s starting with her list of 16 things she’s always wanted to do, number one being “Make time for good lifestyle choices” and number 12 being “Get cast in a Wagon Wheel show.” “I have already been cast in two (continued on page 14)

VIEWPOINT Bullied Northfield student wants help to end problem Dear Editor: My name is Amira Siddiqui. I’m a half-Pakistani, half-Caucasian Northfield High School sophomore and I am being harassed. On March 16, 2016, I was brought into the guidance office at the end of the day. I walked into guidance counselor’s office where I had to sit and listen to this kind person tell me that a friend of mine had reported this group of teenage boys was “bullying me.” I have reported this group’s behavior to my assistant principal and have told my principal about the situation. However, I was informed by the guidance counselor that these events could not be considered “bullying” - a term which I believe belittles the situation at hand because I’m a teenager, not an adult because I have been “retaliating,” as

though it is wrong to stand up for myself and I should just let them attack me. Only then will I be a true victim of “bullying.” I will admit that yes, I have in a way “retaliated,” the first time when I was attempting to protect a friend from this group’s attacks and the second and final time when one of the group’s members started calling me names to which I replied that he didn’t have to stand next to me. The guidance counselor informed me that I had been instigating some of the confrontations by walking up to the group numerous times and yelling at them, implying that I am not completely the victim in this situation and somehow responsible for the abuse I’m receiving from my peers. - I have faced verbal harassment from these students on

multiple occasions and have only “retaliated” twice, not to protect myself but others. I put up with these students saying nasty racial and sexual comments to me, and yet I do not say one word. I do not “retaliate” as it seems is expected of me. I take those words and I walk away. I did try to report them, and was met, as it seems, with little support from my school’s educators and administrators. I informed my school’s leaders about what was happening and yet there was no action taken to investigate these reports. All that mattered was that I wanted to leave Northfield and attend another school. According to my school’s 2015--2016 handbook, “Bullying as defined in State law means overt, repeated acts or gestures, including verbal or written communications transmitted,

physical acts committed, or any other behaviors committed by a student or group of students against another student with the intent to harass ridicule, humiliate, intimidate, or harm the other student. “This type of behavior is a form of harassment, although it need not be based on any of the legally protected characteristics, such as sex, race, color, national origin, marital status, or disability. It would include, but not be limited to, such behaviors as stalking, intimidating, menacing, coercion, name calling, taunting, making threats, and hazing.” It continues, “Bullying by a student or groups of students against another student with the intent to harass, ridicule, humiliate, intimidate, or harm the other student through overt, repeated acts or gestures,

Laketon American Legion Auxiliary appreciates support Dear Editor: The Laketon American Legion Auxiliary Unit No.402 is grateful to the South Pleasant Church (on State Road 15 north of SR 114) and the assistant of Viola Stafford for the use of the lovely community building we used for the May 7 soup supper fundraiser.

We also extend a special thanks to all who attended and made contributions to it’s success. We are truly appreciative. It is by an American Legion Post No.402 executive board decision that the Auxiliary Unit No.402 is reaching out to find resources to enable us to carry on our commitment as dedicated

members of the American Legion Auxiliary to honor all veterans and service men and women, respect our country and flag and strengthen our community. We continue to work, grow and show respect to those who gave and sacrificed to give us, as mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, granddaughters

and grandmothers, the privilege to become a member of the largest women’s patriotic organization. Thanks again. – President Tina James, Vice President Miriam L i n k e n h o k e r, Treasurer Becky Warmuth

including verbal or written communications transmitted, and/or physical acts committed, or any other similar behavior is prohibited. … School personnel will investigate all reports of bullying. Counseling, corrective discipline, and/or referral to law enforcement will be used to change the behavior of the perpetrator. This includes appropriate intervention(s), restoration of a positive climate, and support for victims and others impacted by the violation. … Any student who believes she/he has been or is currently the victim of bullying should immediately report the situation to the building principal. The student may also report concerns to a teacher or counselor who will be responsible for notifying the building principal. “Every student is encouraged, and every staff member is required, to report any situation that they believe to be bullying behavior directed toward a student.” From my recent experiences, the high school is contradicting itself. They tell us to stand up to the bullies with all the posters, Shekinah, and the anti-bullying campaigns, and yet as soon as it actually happens, it seems that they turn a blind eye to the fact that, yes, we do have a problem. They opt more to pro-

tect these bullies and harassers before caring for their victims. We, as a school and community, are letting these “bully” students get away with these racist, uninformed, sexualized and hurtful comments. Why? Because we consider them children, not adults, as though these problems will magically stop once they’re out in the “real world.” It is not OK. It needs to end. Every morning, I get up and feel this terrible dread getting ready for school and it follows me in the halls. I worry about being alone within my school’s walls. I feel constantly threatened and endangered. I have cried and I have tried to not let it get to me but nothing works. I am even more stressed out with this because I have dragged a lot of people into this to try and get ideas for getting it to stop: ranging from my friends wanting to resort to violence, which is never the right choice, to my mother asking, “Do you want me to go in now?” None of these ideas will fix the problem. I thought this group would stop on their own accord after countless times of reporting them to my facility’s administrators. They have not. However, I have not lost all hope for these students. I know this situation could change if there was a

way to teach these kids what they are saying and doing is wrong. Were this to be a “real life” situation, this series of racial and sexual harassment would not be tolerated. The fact that this kind of treatment is tolerated in a high school is terrifying, as bullying has been statistically proven to increase the likeliness of a child experiencing sexual harassment and, later on, date rape in adult years, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. My high school has failed me. But that does not have to be the case for everyone. Even if I leave and attend another school, it does not fix the problem with these students or future bully students. We cannot give up on these kids, be them the bullies or the victims. We need to come together to stop all of this. And I want to be someone to help stop it. I do not want another kid to feel horrible about what race, religion, or orientation, sexual or otherwise, they are. I really want this to stop and it needs to be soon. But I can’t do this alone. We all need to work together to fix this problem, before it’s too late. — Amira Siddiqui, Wabash

I advocate that children should try as many different sports as possible till they find their niche. One of the great things about the sport of tennis is there is no time clock. That serves to teach children to never give up no matter the score. I relate this to life in the fact that we are often presented with obstacles in trying to reach our goals but give in too

soon. On the tennis court you have to “grind out” a match sometimes, just like in life you have to “grind it out” when things aren’t going as you hoped. Perhaps courage doesn’t reside in having never lost, but in the courage to battle and grow as strong as possible during adversity.” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe and enjoyable week!

Linda Wolpert Former teacher June 21, 1936 - May 7, 2016 Linda Sue Gray Wolpert was called home to be with our Savior on Saturday, May 7, 2016. She died peacefully at home with her beloved husband of 58 years, Richard Louis Wolpert, and her family by her side. Linda was born on June 21, 1936, in Wabash, Indiana to Vanda and Max Gray. She graduated from Wabash High School in 1954 where she was elected cheerleader, class officer, and Homecoming Queen. She and her husband, Dick, were also voted May King and Queen in the Spring of 1951. Linda went on to major in social work and graduated from Indiana University in 1958, where she was a devoted member of the Delta Gamma Sorority. Throughout her life she remained very active with her sorority, serving as President of the Bay Area Panhellenic Association in the Clear Lake area. Linda and Dick lived out an amazing love story, born in the same hospital in Wabash, Indiana just four days apart. “I picked him out from the baby nursery at the hospital,” was a phrase she was commonly known to say. They were childhood sweethearts, beginning in junior high, and lasting throughout college. They married right after their college graduation in 1958 and honeymooned all the way out to sunny California in Dick’s ‘55 Oldsmobile “Rocket 88,” where they both saw the ocean for the very first time. They made their first home in the Los Angeles area, where Dick worked with Northrop Aviation and Linda received her teaching certification. Some of their happiest years of their lives were spent with family and friends on California’s west coast. Both of their children, Dean and Lisa, were born in California. Dick’s job with the space program brought the family to Houston in 1966 and they made their new home in the Clear Lake area, near Houston. Linda was a kindergarten teacher at Webster Elementary when the children were young and was a substitute teacher in the Clear Creek Independent School District for many years. Linda was very active in the Bay Area Panhellenic Association and Delta Gamma, founded a “Book Club” with close friends, and was a member of numerous bridge clubs. Her friends through these associations were beloved to her. She truly loved card games, books, Lay’s Original Potato Chips, and especially, See’s Candy. Linda’s greatest asset was her love for her family and numerous friends. She would thoughtfully reach out to comfort those in need. She never put herself first, and was always a good listener. Her time spent with her granddaughters playing dolls, baking bread, and going to the pool when they were young will never be forgotten. Those happy times will be forever cherished by her family. Linda was preceded in death by her parents, Vanda and Maxwell Gray. She is survived by her loving husband of 58 years, Richard Wolpert; her sister, Virginia Gray Campo, of New Jersey; her brother, David Gray, and his wife, Dixie, of Florida; her brother, Dan Gray, and his wife, Theresa, of Wabash. Also, her son, Dean Wolpert, his wife, Ellen, and their daughters, Ann, Katherine and Rebecca Wolpert; her daughter, Lisa Wolpert Walker, her husband, John B. Walker, and their children, Molly Gray Walker; Brynne Walker Dyrhood, and her husband, Andrew; Jud Walker, and his wife, Holly, and great-grandchildren, London and Fallyn Walker. A memorial service was at 1 p.m., Friday, May 13, 2016, at League City United Methodist Church, 1411 West Main Street, League City, Texas, 77573, followed by a reception. A private burial will precede the memorial service. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to League City United Methodist Church (sent to the address above) or the Delta Gamma Foundation (online at www.memberplanet.com/deltagammafoundation/tributegifts or sent to 3250 Riverside Drive, Columbus, OH 43221).

Local police agencies join ‘Click It or Ticket’ campaign By The Paper staff Wabash County and State law enforcement will be participating in the “Click It or Ticket” campaign from May 6 through May 30. Throughout the month, the Wabash Sheriff ’s Department,

Wabash City Police Department and Indiana State Police will join other officers from more than 250 state and local agencies in the national campaign, which serves to crack down on motorists not wearing their seat belts. “If we see you

unbelted, we will pull you over,” WPD Cpl. Chad Galligan said. Law enforcement officers will be raising awareness on the benefits of occupant restraints through education and enforcement. Officers will also be utilizing high visibility patrols

and sobriety checkpoints to help ensure the safest environment for all motorists on Indiana roadways. In 2015, there were 818 fatalities on Indiana roadways. Of those fatalities, 33 percent were not wearing seatbelts prior to the accidents.

“Statistics have shown that wearing a seatbelt and properly restraining children in a child restraint seat dramatically reduces the possibility of injuries and death from a traffic crash,” Doug Carter, ISP superintendent, said. “We are commit-

ted to ensuring everyone buckles up every time, all the time, to safeguard Hoosiers while traveling throughout Indiana.” The ISP reminds motorists to: -Wear seatbelts and utilize child restraint devices. -Appoint a designat-

ed driver if planning to drink alcoholic beverages. -Never ride with someone that has been drinking. Do not let that person drive. Be a friend and take the keys. -Report dangerous and/or impaired driving by dialing 9-1-1.

scope of the upcoming festival so as to bring in more gardening supply vendors and visitors to the 19th-annual event at Paradise Spring Historical Park. Favorite events will remain, but with addition of vendors featuring everything from yard and garden equipment to mowers and tillers to landscaping ideas. Pat Lynn, former president and current board member of the Garden Fest, said that she hopes for a few more vendors this year compared to last year’s total of 47. She added that over the next few years, she would like to see that number climb to well over 60. When it comes to the feedback she gets

from visitors every year, Lynn said “I think a lot of people look forward to it. People tell me they look forward to it. It’s just a pleasant, relaxing day.” She explained that there is plenty of space for people to move around as compared to other events at Paradise Spring, which gives the Garden Fest more of a laid back feel. Lynn also said that the new larger scope of the festival may attract more men who might otherwise stay on the other side of downtown at the Kunkel Cruise-In which hap-

A visitor browses at one of the booths at the 2015 Garden and Herb Fest. This year, the festival has been renamed the Garden Fest. Photo by Emma Rausch pens the same weekend. Approximately 500 to 800 visitors have visited the festival in recent years. And most of these visitors, Lynn said, stay at the festival for three or four hours at a time, looking at the wares

the vendors are displaying, eating lunch and checking out the chairs at the Chair Affair. Also new this year, there will be an emphasis on recycling, upcycling and re-purposing items for use in a garden or

as yard art. There will be something for the kids to do, as well. The 2016 Wabash Garden Fest will take place on Aug. 20 at Paradise Spring Park. For more information, email WABASHGARDENFEST@gma il.com.

State Festivals host workshop Article provided NORTH MANCHESTER – The Indiana State Festivals North Spring Workshop was Saturday, April 23, at the North Manchester Center for History. Festival planners from around the state gathered to learn how to improve their festivals, get tips from other festival planners and get information if ISFA membership and the 2017festival guide. Breakfast was pro-

vided by the North Manchester Chamber of Commerce and the North Manchester Harvest Festival. The workshop, “Hats Off to Your Festival,” was started with a presentation by Kim Stevens and Gale Gerber. In the presentation attendees had to figure out if they were wearing the right hat for their festival. Shannon Shrider then presented a session of festival hospitality. Festival hospi-

tality is more than just saying hello. Hospitality involves not only the festival attendees but the vendors, the volunteers and everyone involved. During the third session, ISFA President Kim Stevens showed everyone how to build a car and how that relates to festivals. ISFA Coordinator Doug Weisheit talked about ISFA membership and the 2017 Festival Guide and how upgrading mem-

bership can increase festival attendance. Door prizes were provided by Wabash County Convention and Visitors Bureau and various festivals. Pettit Printing, Wabash, provided notepads for all attendees. Lunch was catered by The Main View, North Manchester. NM Chamber Chair Laura Rager and ISFA board member Chris Benson planned and hosted the event.

from the Hopewell Church where the family of author Gene Stratton Porter belonged. The German School was built in 1887 by members of the St.

Paul’s German Evangelical Church to provide area youth with religious education in the German language. The school continued until World War I and was later used as the St. Paul’s Parish Hall. After falling into disrepair the building has been restored and now contains exhibits and information of the history of the larger German settlement which once existed in the area. The Old German School is located on the Wabash-Huntington County Line Road, 3995 N, 1000 W, or three miles north of U.S. 24 west of Huntington. The program is free and refreshments will be provided.

Jolene Reiff. The Volunteer of the Year award was given to Jeanne Andersen. According to NMHS President Mary Chrastil, “there was no question about who should receive this award this year. Jeanne stands above all the rest. Jeanne served as Center for History Director from 2000 to 2007, and she really understands how a museum works.” Her key contribution this year is the hours and hours she has put in on exhibits—not only in researching and creating the new prehistoric and early settlers areas, but also improving already-existing exhibits throughout the building. A stickler for research and authentication Jeanne not only fabricates the actual exhibits, but spends hours planning, researching, and writing, which are all very time-consuming processes. “Also, Jeanne is our go-to person on computer programs,” Chrastil continued. “This spring, we upgraded our operating systems and software, linked our five computers and laptop more effectively, and even updated our basic museum software program. Jeanne took on this responsibility, and it’s gone really smoothly.” This year, volunteers recorded 8,541 hours of service (continued on page 40)

Paige Holley

Jackie McConnell

Abigail Poole

School: Northfield

School: Manchester

School: Northfield

Parents: Mike & Sonia Holley

Parents: Ron & Sylvia McConnell

Parents: Brian and Erin Poole

Future Plans: Attend Huntington University in Ag Education with plans to be a high school ag teacher

Future Plans: Study Baking and Pastry at Sullivan University in Louisville with plans to become a chef

4-H Club: Laketon Cloverleaves

4-H Club: Ribbon Reapers

Future Plans: Major in Biochemistry at University of Southern Indiana and then attend medical school to become an anesthesiologist 4-H Club: Rabbit Club 4-H Projects: Rabbits & Poultry 4-H Grows Compassion: When asked how 4-H has taught her compassion, Paige quickly thought of her experiences with the rabbit project. “Rabbits are a great animal project for young kids because they are easy to handle. I enjoy helping them and teaching what they need to do to take care of their rabbits.” Paige recalled a time that she worked with a younger 4-H member, teaching him about rabbits, when he won his class, he looked for her to celebrate with before his mom. Paige believes that experiences like this have taught her to show compassion to both animals and people. Showing compassion toward people is a skill that Paige will need in her desired career as anesthesiologist stating, “4-H experiences will help me with the people I work with; showing compassion will help me to better understand how they feel.”

4-H Projects: Beef, Goats, Swine, and Horse & Pony 4-H Grows Compassion: Jackie believes that 4-H animal shows have helped her grow compassion but not just towards animals she raises. Each time she either wins or loses in the ring, she shows compassion to her fellow competitors and her animal. “If my animal doesn’t do well, it is still my animal, and I still care for it no matter what. If I do well and win, I humble myself and show compassion to my fellow competitors who work hard in the show ring as well.” Jackie witnesses the compassion young 4-H members have toward their animal each time she watches a member tear up as they sell for the first time at the 4-H auction. Compassion Jackie has learned in 4-H will enhance her ability to teach Ag in the future. “I will be able to talk to students about winning and losing with grace at judging competitions as well as how to handle the unexpected.”

4-H Projects: Goats & Poultry 4-H Grows Compassion: Abigail compassion has grown through 4-H livestock project experiences. She hopes that through her 10 years of showing goats that younger kids have watched her show and have seen how she cares for her animals. To younger 4-H members Abigail says, “Sometimes it’s hard when you start something new. Stick with it because 4-H has provided me opportunities to meet people from across the county that I may never have met. I have learned to socialize and make new friends.” Abigail is compassionate about her future and the possibilities she has as a chef. She knows skills learned in 4-H like networking and socializing with new people will help her be successful as she moves to a big city. In a place like Louisville, it could be hard to make new friends and fit in, but she is optimistic as she carries life skills learned in 4-H with her into her future endeavors.
