Parker picked for top award Beauchamp named 2017 Wabash Distinguished Citizen

Parker Beauchamp gave up on his hopes of receiving the Distinguished Citizen honor a decade ago. After all, his father, Michael Beauchamp, was bestowed the title when he was 31-years-old in 1984. “This is not the way I saw this happening. I gave up on this thing 10 years ago,” the younger Beauchamp said, the audience erupting with laughter. “I always thought if I was up here, I owed it to my dad.” Beauchamp recalled when his father received the award at an age much younger than himself. “I remember when I was a little one and I came up here, there’s a picture … of you holding up your plaque, which was bigger than mine and I like this one better,” he said over more laughter from the crowd, “and my finger is smashed under the glass … and the face that I’m sharing with the crowd is of sheer pain, and I always thought that if I could be so honored to have this award, I’m going to give my dad a lot of pay back.” In an interview with The Paper, Beauchamp explained, “He was much younger.” “So ‘84, I would have been 4(-years-old) and I remember it very well,” he said. “I remember seeing my dad, him getting the newspaper printouts, the tin boards, and he had that in (continued on page 2)

state the impact the new hospital will have on Wabash. The investment that Parkview Wabash is making today will serve to have babies once again born in Wabash County, update facilities to attract healthcare providers and demonstrate to the community that healthcare will be provided to the ensuing generations. Tonight it is my honor to introduce to you the 2017 Business of the Year, Parkview Wabash Hospital.” The presentation was one of several made during the evening, which also

The busiest day in downtown Wabash will take place Saturday, Oct. 21, as the 15th annual Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity Chili Cook-off fills at Paradise Spring Historical Park with fun and food. More than 85 teams will begin cooking shortly after 8 a.m. Saturday, with about 5,000 people converging on the park around noon to sample the various styles of chili available. Cook-off Committee Chair Todd Titus has been involved with the event all 15 years. Initially his job was that as Wabash Park Superintendent, and eventually morphed into serving both the park’s needs as well as his job on the cook-off committee. He’s seen many changes over the years, starting with the committee and working its way right on down to the participants. “We’re more organized,” Titus told The Paper of Wabash County during a recent interview. “From (the committee’s) end were more organized. Probably, for the first six or seven years, we were still trying to tweak certain things. “Then we were trying to fix things that weren’t necessarily broken. Or, we were trying

Parkview Wabash lauded as Business of the Year By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

When considering the nominee for Business of the Year, Paul McCann, former Wabash County Chamber of Commerce Board chair, made his choice based on the organization’s impact on Wabash as well as on his family. “This was an honor as well as I contemplated the economic environment of Wabash County,” McCann said at the Grow Wabash County celebration dinner on Thursday, Oct. 12.

He later added, “As the final board chair of the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce, it was my responsibility to select the Business of the Year. Considering the history of the Chamber and the chapter that just closed with the merger to create Grow Wabash County, I wanted to select an organization that is also currently pivoting their strategic direction with the next 100 years in mind, an organization that is invested in the local fabric of the community that will serve the needs of the people here. “I believe it is impossible to over-

...continued from the front page his office for a very long time. I always felt like, when I was a little kid, I didn’t necessarily want to win the award, I just wanted to do the things that contributed to awards like that. Any ways, I really never thought that it would happen. “I’m just passionate about Wabash and I always wanted to do everything I can for it.” However, that all changed Thursday

night, Oct. 12, at the Grow Wabash County Celebration Dinner, formerly the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce annual dinner when Keith Gillenwater, Grow Wabash County CEO and president, started introducing the 2017 honoree. “Our distinguished citizen has always displayed an independent streak,” Gillenwater began. “One story our distin-

guished citizen’s mother told was of our distinguished citizen’s first day of kindergarten, when she walked them in on the first day of class. Our distinguished citizen turn to their mother and said, ‘You can walk me in today since it’s the first day, but not after that.’ “She also told us of the time on a family vacation that our young teenage distinguished citizen put a

massive dose of dish soap in the hotel’s hottub and, as the scheme started to unravel, decided to make their escape in the ensuing confusion by tying bed sheets together, securing them to a bedpost and scaling down the side of the building—a trait we all would come to find out would serve our distinguished citizen well later in life.” Joan Haag, the 2016 Distinguished Citizen, presented Beauchamp with a crystal plaque as his wife Katie, children Henry and Cora, par-

ents, grandparents, sisters and their families joined him on stage for the acceptance speech. “I was truly humbled by this,” Beauchamp said. “I think when Keith asked me who gets scrubbed and who doesn’t this morning in the private phone call that we had. I said, ‘Hey buddy. This is a lifelong liability. You earn this when you go in the grave,’ and I didn’t think that it would be me so I maybe need to rethink that a little bit.”

Parker picked for top award ...continued from page 2 Beauchamp said he expected the award to go to someone else so much so that he nearly left the celebration early following the Business of the Year presentation. However, luckily he decided to stick around. “I really had no idea until Keith’s third line and then I was like, ‘Oh man,’” Beauchamp said. “Any ways, it’s a great city. I love Wabash. It’s my childhood passion.” The CEO of INGUARD and a fifth generation insurance professional, Beauchamp has been an entrepreneur from an early age, according to Gillenwater’s speech.

“Our distinguished citizen earned their first paycheck at the age of 3 when they got a gig as a model for a local imprint company,” Gillenwater said. “Our distinguished citizen displayed their entrepreneurial bent when they started another business to make and sell custom golf scorekeepers on ‘Ladies Day’ at the Honeywell Golf Course. “Our distinguished citizen is no stranger to the hard work that a successful entrepreneur has to display. As proof, our distinguished citizen spent a summer in their youth digging ditches and installing drainage tiles in farm fields in the area and

started a lawn-mowing business to boot, not to mention numerous other jobs and internships up through college and graduate school at Purdue (University).” Beauchamp’s support for entrepreneurship has not wavered, Gillenwater continued, noting that the honoree refers to INGUARD as a 146year-old startup. “One trait that was continually brought up in our research of our D.C. was that (Beauchamp) is a protector,” Gillenwater said, later adding that his protective nature extends past family and friends. Beauchamp is an advocate for children, G i l l e n w a t e r

explained, which he has demonstrated through his support of the Wabash County Promise and underwriting free movie admission for more than 21,000 youths at the 13-24 Drive In. He also has a passion for preserving Wabash County’s heritage, Gillenwater continued, noting that Beauchamp serves as the Indiana Landmarks Executive Committee vice chairman, has worked with the Honeywell Foundation on the Eagles Theatre renovation and is a former president of Wabash Marketplace Inc. “Our D.C. is a champion of Wabash,” Gillenwater said. “When people ask me

about our distinguished citizen, the first thing that anyone who really knows (Beauchamp) will say is that this person is Wabash’s best cheerleader. Our distinguished citizen has been civically involved since an early age and has continued that tradition throughout their life.” For Beauchamp, the title of Distinguished Citizen is not something to maintain for the year, but for the rest of his life. “I really feel like it is a lifelong liability,” he told The Paper. “You’re in the club and if you want to keep the award, you have to continue to do everything you can for the city and not

make any mistakes. That’s how I feel. During his speech, Beauchamp said, “I feel very honored to be a part of Wabash.” “You raised me, all of you,” he continued, “and I hope that you continue to allow me to make mistakes and you give me that feedback that you’ll give

We need this to be big, really big.’ “So we thought we’d build the hospital,” she joked, the crowd reacting with laughter. “Not really. We are doing

one, but that’s not why. The question is how can you do something big when you just built a hospital? So we’re working on it. … We’ve had a long history of providing care to our patients and we’re very proud of that.” In 2014, Wabash County Hospital Board of Directors decided to

Officials estimate the building will be completed by April 2018. Through the new affiliation and name change, one thing has remained the same, she added.

Custer-Mitchell reflected on the history of Wabash County Hospital and its affiliation with Parkview Health.

“Whether it was Wabash County Hospital or Parkview Wabash, (it is) our desire every single day to provide the best care we can to the people we serve,” she said. “That’s our focus, our passion, our purpose and our mission.” Prior to the Business of the Year celebration, Grow Wabash County Project Manager

Shelley Agness honored McCann and Rachel Olsen, former Chamber board member, as Volunteers of the Year for their support before and during the transition into Grow Wabash County. Agness also presented McCann with his gavel on a commemorative plaque to honor his time as Chamber board chair.

Chili lovers gear up for 15th cook-off to figure out a better way to do something and then came to the conclusion that the way were doing it was the best way to do it, so we should leave it alone. “I think the stress factor kind of went away, from our end. I can’t speak from the cook’s end, but from our end, I think over the past seven or eight years we’ve had our committee pretty set. People have their jobs and everyone does their jobs.” The cook-off began as an idea between Steve “Bo” Bowman, former owner of the Old Kettle Saloon, and Bill Gerding, former owner of the Market Street Grill. Bowman experienced a cook-off while vacationing in Texas, and upon return broached the idea with Gerding, who has participated in various cook-offs. “We tried it,” Bowman told The Paper. “We only had seven or eight teams that year. Bill judged it. We raised $500 and gave it to Shop With a Cop.” From their Bowman and Gerding approached the city and several others about having the event at Paradise Spring. The rest, as they say, is history. The cook-off was a groundbreaking event for Wabash for several reasons. One is that it was the first time something of this magnitude had been planned. More importantly, Titus believes, is it helped show how much Paradise Spring could be utilized. The walking trail on the upper level of the park, as well as the improved bathrooms, were installed about 2001. “It really hadn’t had a lot of use that it was designed for, like this festival,” Titus said. “I really thought that was an area that could be used, but it really had not been tested too much. You had the HerbFest and you had the Old Boys Toys tractor expo. Other than that, that was about all that took place down there. “I was curious to see how it could be used like I thought it could be used, and use what we learn from that event to help at other events.” Bowman and Gerding are pleased with the way the event has transformed over the years. “It’s been a fun

is showing off their business, their restaurant, or their church or their club or group of friends who get together, to people aren’t from this area. For people who come the first time, you’re hoping they’re getting exposed to the lovely place that Wabash is.” The cook-off, she

Nearly 85 teams will head out to Paradise Spring Historical Park on Saturday, Oct. 21, for the annual Chili for Charity Chili Cookoff. Photo by Emma Rausch event,” Bowman said. “We started the event to have fun, the money was secondary. We figured if we got the teams, people would come and the money would follow.” And that it has. Since it began, more than $475,000 has been raised for local charities. The cook-off peaked several years with about 120 teams. Since than, it’s held steady at between 80 and 85 teams. “But still, that is huge,” Gerding said. “I’ve been to state cookoffs that weren’t that big. It’s fun to go down to look at it. I get a kick of going down and just looking at it after it’s all set up.” One reason for the event’s success was the involvement of the Chili Appreciation Society International (CASI). CASI teams compete for points and the right to compete at the national chili cookoff in Texas. “We were fortunate

enough to get them involved in ours,” Gerding said. “We got them involved and they liked what they saw. And that brought in more people, whether it be CASI or just people who like to cook.” Both Bowman and Gerding said the success now lies with the cook-off committee. Titus will arrive at the park about 6 a.m. Saturday and is there for the duration. Other committee members will arrive shortly after that, each ready to tend to their assigned duties throughout the day. And while there is still a lot of work to be tended to as committee chair, he said he still gets to enjoy the day. “A lot more now that I’m not park superintendent,” Titus added. “The park really isn’t my worry now. I still care about it and respect it, but it’s really not my problems if the bathrooms are plugged up or if the power goes out. That’s

not on my any more.” The cook-off has helped put Wabash on the map, as it is the largest chili cook-off east of the Mississippi River. That helps bring in the people. “We definitely know it’s reaching outside a 60-mile radius,” Christine Flohr, tourism director at Visit Wabash County, said. “What it does for Wabash County as a whole is when people return for a second, or third, or fourth time, to become a tradition for them, it’s just another experience that they get to have here in our community. “For businesses involved, the cook-off

now been changed until Saturday, Nov. 11, to collect the local stories. “Now Entering…” is a video scrapbook of the people, places and history of towns as seen through the eyes of its residents. Wabash community members are encouraged to collect video footage and still photos to showcase their unique stories. Because WIPB offi-

cials want to make sure everyone who would like to tell a story can do so, video cameras are being provided at the Wabash Carnegie Public Library. Crews will be at the Wabash County Historical Museum on Nov. 11 to collect the stories and footage from local residents. Those wishing to be considered for the program should contact

Michelle Kinsey, C o m m u n i t y E n g a g e m e n t Coordinator, at mkinsey@bsu.edu or fill out a participation form at www.wipb.org/nowentering. For more about the project, including the first three episodes featuring Portland, Pendleton and Knightstown, go to www/wipb.org/nowentering.

2 Warsaw residents face drug charges By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER – Two Warsaw women are facing drug charges following a report of a possible intoxicated driver in North Manchester on Wednesday, Oct. 11. According to a report provided by North Manchester Chief of Police Jim Kirk: At approximately 3:54 p.m., the Wabash County Central Dispatch relayed to the North Manchester Police Department a report of a possible intoxicated driver. The complainant told dispatch that the vehicle allegedly was “all over the road, nearly striking several vehicles.” NM Officer Brian Hammons and Wabash County

Sheriff ’s Deputy Karsten Kersey responded to the call. Hammons located the vehicle at the intersection of State Road 114 and 2nd Street Extended, where he then followed it to a nearby gas station and performed a welfare check on the driver. Following the check, officers charged Lindsey R. Tatum, 22, and Megan N. Swanson, 21, both of Warsaw. Tatum was charged with operating while intoxicated, operating while intoxicated refusal, possession of paraphernalia, possession of marijuana and open container. Swanson was charged with possession of paraphernalia and possession of marijuana.

THE PAPER

October 18, 2017

Officials urge families to plan evacuation route for home By The Paper staff Indiana’s fire marshal is encouraging Hoosier families to take fire safety seriously by planning evacuation routes for their homes as part of Fire Prevention Month in October. This year’s theme, “Every Second Counts: Plan Two Ways Out,” reminds Hoosiers that seconds can mean the difference between safety and a tragedy. “Smoke alarms save lives, but equally important is when Hoosiers are ready to act when those alarms sound,” said Indiana State Fire Marshal, Jim Greeson. Marshal Greeson

recommends that Hoosiers sit down with their households and complete the following: — Draw a map of the home, and as a household mark two exits from each room and a path to the outside from each exit. — Practice home fire drills twice a year. Conduct one at night and one during the day with all residents. Practice using different routes to safety. — Teach children how to escape on their own in case help isn’t available. — Make sure the number of the home is clearly marked and easy for the fire department to find. — Practice closing doors while evacuat-

ing the home. This may slow the spread of smoke, heat and fire. — Once outside, stay at the established meeting point. Never go back inside a burning building — Practicing escape routes can be a good time for households to also verify that their home is free of fire hazards “Most fires are preventable.” Greeson said. “It’s up to all of us to prevent fires where we live, where we work, everywhere.” Greeson suggests looking for the following hazards in a home: — Electric cords that are worn, frayed or covered with cloth-

ing, blankets or furniture — Candles that are closer than 12 inches away from anything that can burn, and/or that are in unstable holders that can accidentally be jostled by adults, children or pets — Coffee makers or similar appliances that are too close to napkins, towels or paper, or that are that are operated under cabinets (the heat generated by a coffee maker can set wooden cabinets on fire) — Built-up dryer lint (clean lint out after every dryer use) — Blocked doors, windows and pathways that can prevent or slow down an escape

— Flammable items closer than three feet from fireplaces, wood stoves, radiators or portable heaters; — Extension cords permanently in use (they are for temporary use only) — Extension cords connected to heat-producing appliances such as freezers, refrigerators, coff e e m a k e r s , microwaves or portable heaters (never use extensions with such appliances) Also, make sure smoke alarms are installed and working on every level of a home, and inside and outside bedrooms.

NORTH MANCHESTER – A Marion man was arrested on eight felony counts following a car chase through and around North Manchester Sunday afternoon, Oct. 15. Charles D. Lockett, 21, was charged after allegedly fleeing from the scene of an accident and leading

police on a chase in a car and on foot before being captured, according to Chief Jim Kirk, of the North Manchester Police Department. On Oct. 15, NMPD Officers Parker Stauffer and Devin Bechtold attempted to stop a vehicle suspected of being involved in a hit-and-run with a parked car. “[The vehicle] fled from them when they

activated their red and blue lights,” Kirk said. “It went on Wayne Street out of town on State Road 13, went through Liberty Mills, went through Servia and came back into Manchester, where the occupant jumped out of the vehicle as it was moving. “The vehicle almost hit a house. The suspect pulled a gun on the officers. The offi-

cers drew their guns, and he dropped his gun and took off running. “He swam across the Eel River by the bridge on SR 114. Officers Bechtold and Stauffer pursued him across the river, and the suspect was apprehended by Sgt. Nate Birch and K-9 Strider. Officer Isaac Adams assisted at the scene.” Kirk noted that

Adams and Birch were off-duty during the incident, and were able to assist quickly and with the necessary equipment thanks to the department’s take-home vehicle policy. Two weapons were recovered during the incident: a handgun and a rifle found inside the vehicle, according to the official report.

“The suspect had a loaded handgun on him,” Kirk said, “and when we searched the vehicle he had an AK47 with two loaded magazines in the back seat of the vehicle.” Court records show that Lockett is currently facing 15 counts, including eight felonies, for a similar incident in Grant County. He posted bond there on

Oct. 4, and has a trial date of Feb. 26 for those charges as of publication. “This guy has a long history, as far as robbery and other things, in Marion,” Kirk said. Deputies with Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department assisted NMPD during the event.

Denny Craft is in charge of painting the Snack Shack and over-seeing the installation of new electric outlets in the Community Building. An update was given on the Urbana ball field/park area. The piles of cement have been removed by Troy Eads. That half acre now needs to have the weeds killed, the ground leveled, and new grass planted yet this fall. Marvin Mast is in charge of getting this done. A motion was made to begin another project at the Urbana ball field/park area – a paved 1/3-mile walking path around the property. It is hoped the path will increase the number of people who use that area now that handicapped restrooms are available. Besides being a place for community members to walk, there are a number of organized walks that could use the track to promote special events. Special Olympic athletes will

MU speakers to look at MLK’s work From the MU News Bureau Nationally recognized trainers in using nonviolence as an active, positive, reconciling force for change are speaking at Manchester University on Tuesday, Oct. 24. Matt Guynn, director of nonviolent social change organizing at On Earth Peace, and Pam Smith, executive director of the Addie Wyatt Center for Nonviolence Training, will present “ K i n g i a n Nonviolence: The Beloved Community is the Framework for the Future.” The presentation is at 3:30 p.m. in Cordier Auditorium on the North Manchester campus. It is free and open to the public. Smith and Guynn will talk about the role of nonviolent approaches developed by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights move-

ment to overcome conflict and injustice while supporting social and political change. In this overview, participants will learn four lasting contributions that MLK and civil rights leaders made to mobilization and political action, explore principles and steps from Kingian Nonviolence that can help frame issues and motivate communities, and hear stories and visions about applying nonviolence today. This presentation is part of a larger conversation throughout the 2017-18 academic year honoring MU’s tradition of peace and justice. Fifty years ago, on Feb. 1, 1968, King spoke to an overflow audience at Manchester on “The Future of Integration.” It was his last address at a college campus before his assassination.

SQU I RREL CREEK

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash County’s court system is moving toward a new statewide case management system. Wabash County Commissioners approved a resolution to begin the change when they met on Tuesday, Oct. 10. The formal switch will take place when the contract with the current case management expires in January 2019. Wabash County Circuit Court Judge Robert R. McCallen, along with Mary DePrez, director of trial court technolo-

gy for the Indiana Supreme Court, presented information on the Odyssey Case Management System at the Monday, Oct. 2, meeting of the county commissioners. According to DePrez, the state began deploying Tyler Technology’s Odyssey software in December 2007, with the software currently being used in more than 260 of the state’s nearly 400 courts. Under the resolution approved 2-0, Trial Court Technology, the firm providing the Odyssey system, is responsible for paying the yearly soft-

ware maintenance and support costs. Counties using Odyssey do not incur any yearly costs to use the software. In another matter, Sheriff Bob Land reported there were 87 inmates in the Wabash County Jail, with another 51 in Miami County, four in Elkhart County and five in Blackford County for a total of 147 inmates. The average population last week was 83.42, with 24 new inmates being booked in. Six were transferred to the Indiana Department of Corrections, with another inmate

awaiting action from the courts. The peak population last week was 87, with 35 Level 6 inmates among the 147 being housed here and at the other three facilities. Finally, commissioners approved 2-0 the sale of a 2003 dump truck from the Wabash County H i g h w a y Department to the City of Wabash Street Department for $3,000. H i g h w a y Superintendent John Martin said the $3,000 was the retail cost that three dealerships he had contacted would sell the vehicle.

Indiana NRCS announces EQIP application deadline From the USDA

Indiana’s agricultural producers who want to improve natural resources and address concerns on their land are encouraged to sign up for the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) through the USDA-Natural R e s o u r c e s Conservation Service (NRCS). Jane Hardisty, NRCS State Conservationist, announced that December 15, 2017 will be the EQIP application deadline in Indiana. “While we take EQIP applications throughout the year, applications received after December 15th will be

considered in future announced application rounds. I encourage producers with resource concerns on their land to submit an application by the deadline,” Hardisty explains. EQIP is a voluntary conservation program available for agricultural producers. Through EQIP, NRCS provides financial and technical assistance to install conservation practices that reduce

soil erosion and sedimentation, improve soil health, improve water and air quality, and create wildlife habitat.

City OKs step in Eagles project By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Mayor Scott Long now has the authority to sign the Eagles Theatre construction contract. The Wabash City Council, by a 7-0 vote Tuesday night, Oct. 10, gave Long the authority to do so. He must do so, according to project

manager Tina Henderson, because a portion of the renovation work is part of the city’s Stellar Community Grant program. Long’s authority is only for the portion of the restoration that is part of the Stellar program. “I ask that the Council look at this as the project owner, and not the building owner,” Henderson

said, noting that is how it is viewed by the Office of Community and Rural Affairs guidelines. Also under the guidelines, the Council must sign off on all bills related to the project. OCRA will provide $1.7 million of the $2.44 million project. Funding also will come from a Wabash Marketplace Inc. grant

and a bond anticipation note from the city. The council unanimously committed $319,109 from a bond anticipation note it currently holds toward the project. In addition, Wabash Marketplace Inc. has earmarked $200,000 from its façade program toward the project. The Stellar project includes work on the first and fourth floors

of the Eagles Theatre, as well as work on the heating and air conditioning, preserving the outside of the building, installation of a fire sprinkler system, upgrades to the electrical service and work on the building’s elevator and stairways. In another matter, no one spoke during a brief public hearing on the city’s proposed budget, tax levy and tax rate. The council, during its regular meeting, unanimously approved the spending plan.

Lands for Monarch Butterflies Partnership (statewide) Mississippi River Basin Healthy Watersheds Initiative (MRBI): NRCS and partners work with producers and landowners to implement voluntary conservation practices that improve water quality, restore wetlands, enhance wildlife habitat and sustain agricultural profitability in the Mississippi River basin. Little Wea W a t e r s h e d (Tippecanoe County) Big Pine Creek Watershed – Headwaters (Benton and White Counties) Big Pine Creek Watershed - Brumm and Darby (Benton County) Big Cicero Creek Watershed (Boone, Clinton, Hamilton and Tipton Counties) Busseron Creek Watershed (Sullivan and Vigo Counties) Fish Creek Watershed (Greene, Monroe and Owen Counties) Plummer Creek Watershed (Green County) In addition, EQIP offers financial assistance for payment of practices and conservation activities involving the development of plans appropriate for the eligible land. The conservation

practice associated with plan development is known as a Conservation Activity Plan (CAP). EQIP applications for CAP are not required to be submitted by th December 15 ; they

may be submitted, accepted and considered for funding at any time. Funding is based on dollars available and meeting eligibility requirements. Producers interested in EQIP should submit a signed application to the local NRCS field office. Applications submitted by the December 15th dead-

line will be evaluated for the funding period s u b m i t t e d . Participants in EQIP must meet eligibility requirements. NRCS staff will work with producers to determine eligibility and complete necessary worksheets and rankings in order for the applicant to compete for funding.

Kyle Reed sscored on a 51-yard run, while John Schuler scored on a 59yard run. Quarterback Levi Fulkerson then hit Kade Kennedy on a 40-yard pass play to give the Norse a 200 score after one quarter. Blair and Trexler opened scoring in the second uarter on a 37-yard pass play to cut Northfield’s lead to 20-13. That was short-lived, though ans Fulkerson scored from 11 yards out to build a 27-13 lead. Blair and Trexler then connected two more times, once from 32 yards out and again from 53yards out to end the half tied 27-27. Again, Southwood

Democrat enters race for U.S. House of Representative By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

A former health care industry official has announced plans to seek the Democratic nomination for the Second District U.S. House of Representative seat now held by three-term Republican Jackie Walorski. Mel Hall, who worked his way up in the Press Ganey ranks to serve as CEO for 10 years, announced his plans during a South Bend press conference on Tuesday, Oct. 10. He was in Wabash on Thursday, Oct. 12, to attend the Grow Wabash County annual dinner. He told The Paper of Wabash County that his campaign is based on holding himself accountable to the voters. “That’s what I’ve done throughout my business career,” he said, as well as “seeking opportunities for people all across the district.” “I believe all people are created equal,” he said. “If you take those words seriously, they’re actually meaningful. If all people were created equal, we would probably think a little differently about healthcare than we do. “If we really believe that everyone is created equal, we would treat our veterans differently when they come home than we do now, by way of healthcare, long they wait, what we do with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, all sorts of things. “If we really held ourselves accountable, we would act differently. If we really believed all people are created equal, we would act differently.” The Second District, as it stands now, is a predominantly Republican based area. But, Hall noted, it is accustomed to changing representatives every few election cycles. “The pendulum has gone back and forth every three or four election cycles,” he said. “But what’s different is the district was redrawn so a Republican candidate starts with a little more advantage. But it is what it is. We can all

MEL HALL say all sorts of things, like it’s not fair, but it doesn’t matter. We have to play the hand we’re dealt, so I’m not going to complain about that.” Hall touched base on some of the key issues now taking place in the U.S., starting with health care. “I would say people in the Second District are probably tired of dead-end debates about the Affordable Care Act,” he said. “What we all know is it needs to be improved. But when you talk about repealing something in which people with pre-consisting conditions are already in, that’s a non-starter. It’s time for us to stop talking about that. “My business background tells me we

always need to focus on continuous improvement. If there’s a problem, fix it. If there’s something that’s not quite working right, let’s figure out what we need to do to make it better. I’m convinced the Affordable Care Act is a good start, but we need to improve it. I’m not at all in favor of repealing it, but I am in favor of improving it.” Hall said he supports the Second Amendment. “Guns for sport, for defense, are firmly in line with who we are as a country,” he said. “Where I would draw the line are the modifications in weapons that make them more than just for defense or just for hunting or just for sport. Those kind of modifications – like the bump or a magazine that has 30 or 35 rounds – I think we need to ask ourselves (if they are needed).” If elected, Hall would face at least two years under the Trump Administration. “I would think a lot of people would say it’s off to more than a slightly choppy start,” he said. “There’s been a barrage of distrac-

tions, whether it be Twitter feeds or the individual sniping. We need to move past the unnecessary distractions, the unforced and unneeded personal battles that do not move our country forward.” A Grant County native, Hall graduated from Eastbrook High School. He majored in history at Taylor University and later went to seminary and later became an assistant minister at a Methodist Church in Detroit. Following his time in the ministry, Hall enrolled in the doctorate program at the University of Notre Dame, where he received a doctorate in statistics and research. He joined Press Ganey as manager of research and development department, was later named director of research of development. He eventually became CEO in 2001 and served in that post until 2009. He remained with the company until 2012. In 2014 he was named CEO of Specialty Care, a Nashville, Tenn., based firm.

County, Roann granted $350,000 to raze old school By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com

Roann’s old school building is officially slated for demolition, though the timetable for the work is still unknown. Roann ClerkTreasurer Bob Ferguson informed the Wabash County Commissioners Monday morning, Oct. 16, that the town and county officially received a $350,000 grant from the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs. “We were granted the grant, as of last Thursday, for $350,000 to raze the old school,

which is great news,” Ferguson said. “I wanted to come in this morning to thank the Commissioners for coming in with the town of Roann and helping and supporting to get this out of the Town of Roann and out of the county. “We are moving ahead right now; we’ve been working on it all weekend long so we can have all of our ducks in a row. We have a deadline of the 24th – we’ll meet that, and we’re in full motion right now.” The Commissioners agreed to be co-applicants on the OCRA grant via a resolution signed at its Aug. 7

meeting. “Thank you for your efforts. It’s been years in the making,” Commissioner Barry Eppley said. Ferguson said that the grant writer hired for this process, K a t h l e e n Weisenberger of Indianapolis, spent last weekend getting paperwork around for the grant. “Of course, it’s a long process,” Ferguson said. “You have to get bids, you have to get environmental companies to come in, you’re also talking about the historic value. So it’s going to take a lot of time.

“We are on track to meet all of our deadlines and to make sure that we have all of the paperwork and our i’s dotted and our t’s crossed to get that money and have that project finished.” Ferguson said they will not have a timeline for the demolition until all the paperwork is filed and the bid process is finished. “We are working on all the other things that go up to that,” he added. “She’s working right now on getting all the paperwork that needs to go to the Office of Community and Rural Affairs finalized, and once we get to that point, we can move on to the next point. “It’s like a train that slowly moves on until it gets up that momentum. Where we’re at right now is at the very beginning of that train.” The Commissioners

also signed the 2018 operating contract for Living Well in Wabash County’s Wabash County P u b l i c Transportation. The contract is with the Indiana Department of Transpor tation’s Public Transit Division, and serves as the annual operating grant for Wabash County Public Transportation, according to Beverly Ferry, CEO of Living Well in Wabash County. “Living Well in Wabash County works year-round with INDOT and the county commissioners on program and fiscal compliance,” Ferry said. “It is a true state and local partnership, which includes Wabash County government, the Town of North Manchester and the City of Wabash.” The organization’s

2018 operating budget is $591,900, according to Ferry. She said that for 2017, the service projects provided around 32,000 rides to nearly 800 Wabash County residents. In other news, Sheriff Bob Land reported that there were 89 inmates being held in the Wabash County Jail, with an additional 49 being held in Miami County, four in Elkhart County and four in Blackford County as of Oct. 16. Land said that of the 146 inmates, 70 were awaiting court action. The Commissioners also heard from a Wabash County resident who wished to remain unnamed, who asked what the county is doing about the drug problem, which the resident called a disease. “There is no help for our people,” the

resident said. “I have tried. I’ve dealt with this for a long time. It’s time for me to push further, and we need to do something. “I don’t know what we need to do, but it needs to go farther than Wabash County. It needs to go to the White House. It cannot be done with one county, and I don’t know where to start so I’m asking for help. “It needs to be recognized more as a disease, people need to be more aware, more understanding.” The Commissioners thanked the resident for their input, and said that it is a work in progress. “We have looked into several issues,” Chairman Scott Givens said, “and I know [Wabash City Mayor Scott Long] is heading up a program that is trying to develop other alternatives to some of the problems we’ve got.”

City OKs step in Eagles project By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Mayor Scott Long now has the authority to sign the Eagles Theatre construction contract. The Wabash City Council, by a 7-0 vote Tuesday night, Oct. 10, gave Long the authority to do so. He must do so,

according to project manager Tina Henderson, because a portion of the renovation work is part of the city’s Stellar Community Grant program. Long’s authority is only for the portion of the restoration that is part of the Stellar program. “I ask that the Council look at this as the project owner,

and not the building owner,” Henderson said, noting that is how it is viewed by the Office of Community and Rural Affairs guidelines. Also under the guidelines, the Council must sign off on all bills related to the project. OCRA will provide $1.7 million of the $2.44 million project.

Funding also will come from a Wabash Marketplace Inc. grant and a bond anticipation note from the city. The council unanimously committed $319,109 from a bond anticipation note it currently holds toward the project. In addition, Wabash Marketplace Inc. has earmarked $200,000 from its façade program toward the project. The Stellar project includes work on the first and fourth floors of the Eagles Theatre, as well as work on the heating and air conditioning, preserving the outside of the building, installation of a fire sprinkler system, upgrades to the electrical service and work on the building’s elevator and stairways. In another matter, no one spoke during a brief public hearing on the city’s proposed budget, tax levy and tax rate. The council, during its regular meeting, unanimously approved the spending plan.

Deadline nears for CORRIDORS initiative From the DNR Landowners interested in establishing wildlife and pollinator habitat may want to consider participating in DNR’s CORRIDORS initiative. Applications must be received by Dec. 15. CORRIDORS is an acronym for Conservation on Rivers and Roadways

Intended to Develop Opportunities for Resources and Species. Songbirds, gamebirds, cottontail rabbits, butterflies and bees are among the species that will benefit from the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife (DFW) program to improve wildlife and pollinator habitat.

CORRIDORS focuses on four priority areas in the state: Indiana State Wildlife Action Plan Conservation Opportunity Areas; rights-of-way on interstates and state and federal highways; 100year floodplains of rivers; and areas next to a body of water. Q u a l i f y i n g landowners are eligi-
