Officials investigate E. coli outbreak

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Six cases of E. coli are currently under investigation in Wabash, Marshall and Fulton counties, according to Pam Pontones, Indiana State epidemiologist.

In collaboration with the health departments from the three counties, Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) officials are investigating possible cases of E. coli 0157:H7 in northern Indiana, according to Department of Health press release.

On Friday Aug. 14, the ISDH briefed the media outlets in a conference call on details

regarding the investigations with some restrictions on the provided information.

“We are going to focus here on the facts. We’re not going to speculate,” said Jennifer O’Malley, ISDH director of public affairs. “There are some things we cannot discuss now due to privacy laws and those include details about specific cases, ages, names, locations, things like that we’re not going to get into today.

“We’re also not going to name any facility that is part of this investigation because we are still gathering information. So to do anything else would be premature.”

Since the investigations

began on Wednesday, Aug. 5, factual information and misinformation has been circulating, according to Dr. Jerome Adams, Indiana Sate Health commissioner.

“Please understand that it is ongoing and there are many questions that we simply do not have the answers to right now and I hope today to tell you what we do know, what we do know and when you leave, knowing our plan going forward,” he continued.

The ISDH was notified of these E. coli cases “late in the day” on Tuesday, Aug. 4, Pontones said.

“We began collaborating with

Facts about E. coli While the Indiana State Department continues its investigation of E. coli in Wabash, Fulton and Marshall counties, here are some facts about the illness to keep in mind.

E. coli is a diarrheal illness. Specifically, E. coli 0157: H7 infection is a contagious illness that is spread through contact with feces, according to Dr. Jerome Adams, Indiana State Health commissioner.

Symptoms include bloody or non-bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps, little or no fever, nausea and vomiting. Symptoms often being three to four days after exposure, but can start in as soon as two days and last approximately five to 10 days, according to the ISDH. A person can catch E. coli by swallowing untreated waters, touching stool of infected animals, not washing hands after touching stool from a surface or item that has the bacteria and ingesting foods such as uncooked beef, unwashed raw fruits, veg-

White’s receives Century Certificate

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Indiana Secretary of State Connie Lawson presented White’s Residential and Family Services with the first ever Century Certificate on Wednesday, Aug. 12, honoring the organization’s 165 years of service to children and families in need.

The Century Certificate is a new document that “highlights” businesses that have been in good standing for at least 100 years, according to Lawson. This year, 12 businesses will be presented the certification.

During her 16 years in the Indiana Senate, Lawson helped establish the Department of Child Services. If she ever had to pass a bill regarding mental health access or care providers, “I always heard from (Wabash County’s) legislators about how that legislation would affect White’s residents,” Lawson told the audience during the ceremony.

“So I always knew that it was an important part of your community, but being here today has really opened my eyes and made me appreciate so much more of what you do,” she continued.

“The state appreciates what White’s does because you’re taking care of our most valuable assets and

For the third straight year, firefighters from around Wabash County will pay tribute to their fallen New York City comrades on Sept. 11.

Firefighters locally will be climbing stair step machines at the Wabash County YMCA the equivalent of 110 flights in the World Trade Center.

In addition, the group will try to raise at least $1,100 to be donated to the Indiana Burn Camp in Battle

Lawson told The Paper of Wabash County that it was special for her to present White’s with the certificate.

“First of all, the work that I’ve done in the past regarding the establishment of the Department of Child

Services and my work on the mental health commission and other commissions I’ve worked on … it’s always been a passion of mine,” she said. “I came from a large family and I know that families can have bad things happen. Good families can have bad (continued on page 6)

Ground. The target goal is the equivalent of sending one youngster to the camp.

The tribute began in 2013 with two firefighters, Dennis Vigar and Jeff Krom.

“Basically it was just a little friendly get-together between Jeff and I saying ‘You want to do something to honor the guys in New York?’ We just did it on our own, and it gets you in shape. That was kind of the motivation behind it, too.

“Then it just grew from there as far

as guys showing interest.”

Last year, at least one representative from every fire department in Wabash County participated in the event, which lasted throughout the day. The YMCA opens at 5 a.m., and someone was using the machine every hour until it closed.

“It’s almost two and a half miles, all on steps,” Vigar noted, adding that it takes about 35 to 40 minutes.

“One of the things you have to understand,” Wabash Fire Chief Bob (continued on page 8)

Mississinewa Lake is under a blue-green algae “Advisory” alert, according to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

Blue-green algae, also known as cyanobacteria, may produce toxins that are dangerous to pets, small children or those who may ingest the water, according to an Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) press release.

Although blue-green algae is common, when the algae’s levels are high, toxins may be fatal if swallowed or may cause rashes on human skin.

In July 2012, two dogs died after a visit to Salamonie Lake from blue-green algae toxins. At the time, the DNR had been handing out fliers and posting warnings on its website, however the family did not receive the notice.

This year, due to flooding throughout June and July, “a significant nutrient load” flowed into Salamonie and Mississinewa lakes during that time. With the addition of standing water for over a month, the environment was conditioned for the algae to grow, the DNR release stated.

As floodwaters receded in recent weeks, evidence of blue-green algae “mats” appeared along the lake’s shorelines, Mississinewa Lake posted to its Facebook page on Wednesday, Aug. 12.

Water samples from Mississinewa and Salamonie lakes were collected from the beaches’ shorelines on Wednesday, Aug. 12.

On Friday, Aug. 14, the DNR announced that Salamonie Lake’s beach tested in the “Low Risk” alert category. However, due to drying blue-green algae along the shoreline as water levels continue to drop and some evidence of toxins in those drying algae mats, Salamonie Lake is on an advisory alert.

Mississinewa Lake’s beach will remain closed due to high water.

“Swimmers, boaters and pet owners can enjoy water based recreation, but should be on the lookout for evidence of harmful algal blooms (HABs),” according to the IDEM release.

During a “Low Risk” alert, park-goers are advised not to drink the water and to shower after swimming in the lake. Mississinewa’s Lake “Advisory” alert permits swimming and boating but cautions patrons to avoid contact with algae, avoid swallowing water while swimming, do not use lake water for cooking or bathing and do not allow pets to swim or drink water where algae are present.

The approval paves the way for the Stellar’s park subcommittee to begin making plans to raise funds for the project, which will be located on Carroll Street, next to the John Drook Skate Park.

So far, $400,000 has been raised for the project.

Of that, $200,000 came from the Office of Community and Rural Affairs, with the remainder coming from city coffers.

The project was scrapped from the Stellar program earlier this year when Mayor Robert Va n l a n d i n g h a m announced that funding was not available from OCRA. However, in June the state agency found $200,000 it could contribute to the program. The money came from other projects around the state that came in under budget.

Board heard a presentation from committee member Shelly Myers, who was one of the driving forces behind having the project included in the Stellar proposal last year, and Fred Prazeau, a partner and landscape architect with Context Landscape Design, Indianapolis, which is designing the park.

Myers and Sam Hipskind, parents of special needs children, broached the subject of the inclu-

sive park with the mayor and Park Superintendent Todd Titus last year while Stellar plans were being formed.

“His special diagnosis is cerebral palsy, but in our world he’s a little kid that has some abilities that are a little different than anybody else,” Myers said, pointing to her son, Cason, who was among those attending the board meeting. “Because of that he experiences life a little different than everybody else, and one of the experiences he misses out on is utilizing playgrounds.”

She shared a video of an effort in Portland, Ore., to create an inclusive playground there.

“If we have a core of volunteers to train, we will come right to the community and train them,” MacAulay said.

The staff would utilize churches, libraries and other public facilities as source points for training or meetings, she continued.

The Wabash County American Red Cross has not renewed its lease for its Wabash office, according to Katherine MacAulay, executive director of the Northeast Indiana American Red Cross.

Previously, volunteers headed the local Red Cross chapter’s services, with guidance from staff located out of the county, and worked out of their homes. The

Organizers for the 16th annual Dave

Kunkel Cruise-in believe this year’s show has set a record.

Between 275 and 300 vintage cars, trucks and motorcycles were on hand Friday night for the first day of the two-day event at the Honeywell Center and the Wabash Elks Lodge parking lot.

Officials told The Paper of Wabash County that they will need to see the official numbers once all the paperwork is complete, but they are confident it was at, or close to, a record.

“It went really, really well,” committee member Bill Rettig said on Saturday.

“Last night was fantastic. It was as big of show as I remember.

And we have got some really, really nice cars.”

Committee member Gary Bryant echoed Rettig.

“We’re very, very pleased with the turnout,” he said.

“We’ve been very fortunate with the weather.

office space, located at 88 W. Hill St. in Wabash, was “unutilized for a period of time,” MacAulay said.

“For a period of time, that space had not been staffed and that space was a space that we (the American Red Cross) were paying for,” she continued. “Since our volunteers worked from their home or, as I said, were guided by staff from the Indianapolis office and Fort Wayne office, we were not being good stewards

“Year after year we continue to get people to come back, but we also get a lot of news cars to come in. We’ve had quite a few new cars that we haven’t seen before, so I think the word is spreading that there is a really nice show downtown at the Honeywell Center.

“It’s just wonderful to see the turnout we’ve got.”

With more people attending, organizers hope to have the largest amount of funds donated to the Muscular Dystrophy Association to help the fight against ALS. “With us, everything goes to charity,” Bryant reminded. “So for us, hopefully (the larger crowd) means a record donation to MDA and ALS research. We’re very excited about that and for the Kunkel family.”

Kunkel was a native of the Wabash, Indiana area and victim of ALS. Always ready to assist in worthy causes, Dave was well known and respected in Wabash as a man who could be counted on to help in any way he could. He passed away in 2000.

of donor dollars to for a facility that was not being used, and so when our lease ended which was July 31, we made the financial decision to stop affording or paying for the facility.”

However, MacAulay said, this does not mean the Red Cross is leaving the county and it will continue to offer the same services as before as well as keep its local phone number.

“What’s happening is there’s been a reorganization – the reor-

ganization happened back all the way back in November – a reorganization of Red Cross chapters, not only across the state of Indiana but nationally,” she continued.

“In the state of Indiana, in our particular area, the Wabash chapter became incorporated into the northeast Indiana chapter.”

The Red Cross will continue to also offer volunteer training within the county by appointment.

Officials from the aforementioned sponsors were in town Thursday night for a banquet at the Charley Creek Inn. There, the city received a ceremonial check for $50,000, its share of being named one of the quarterfinalists.

During the event, Keith Gillenwater, President and CEO of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County, outlined the areas the committee is concentrating on for its application.

It is looking at four areas – visitor amenities, neighborhood revitalization, parks and recreation and entrepreneurial support.

Visitor amenities is the top area of concentration, he said.

“It includes such ideas as drinking fountains that can double as an art piece, digital visitor kiosks, streetscape improvements and our bold transfor mational project of a bold pedestrian plaza that can double as a road during the day and on

the weekend we have a public art piece that we can shut it off and turn it into a pedestrian event space,” Gillenwater told the crowd of about 100 people gathered in Charley Creek’s Big Four Ballroom.

“These are the kind of things that will stick out in the minds of people when they come to visit Wabash.”

Neighborhood revitalization, he continued, centers on the idea of what makes a community livable, he continued.

“What makes a neighborhood livable,” he asked, rhetorically. “What threats do we face?

How do we identify the threats that we face, and how can we combat them? We want to be a place that doesn’t just maintain.

We want to grow and thrive.”

Improving parks has a two-fold purpose.

“Not only will it improve quality of life in the community, it will support health and wellness, as well,” Gillenwater said.

Work on the city’s cultural trail and Riverwalk are two areas that would be addressed, he noted.

In addition, the South Side Park, the last city part that needs work, would be included in the program.

Mayor Robert Va n l a n d i n g h a m called the plans bold and transformational.

“These ideas are an

He told those present that the banquet “is a celebration of something I’ve known for quite a while. Not only is Wabash the first electrically lighted city in the world, it also is a Stellar community and it’s one of the 50 best communities in the United States.”

He thanked the sponsors for having selected the city as a quarterfinalist.

“We hope to continue the moment we have built together in the City of Wabash and Wabash County,” the mayor said. “I have no doubt we will be able to advance event further in the competition because we have a strong foundation of working together to better our community.”

Regional President for Frontier Communications, spoke on behalf of the various sponsors.

He said he gets to Wabash a few times each year, but only generally gets to spend time with Frontier employees.

“Today I got here early and did some driving around,” he said. “I must say it’s pretty impressive. I have driven through a lot of rural American, a lot of cities. What you have here rivals any of the cities that I have been through.”

Stephens oversees Frontier offices in six states. Of the 50 quarterfinalists, 12 are within his district, and 11 of those 12 communities are in Indiana.

“We’re good at

something, I think,” he said.

Stephens also read a letter from Frontier CEO Dan McCarthy.

“This is more than a competition,” McCarthy wrote. “It’s about bringing the community together.

“I’m always impressed with the way small communities come together and work together to make lives better.

There’s a positive lifestyle in small communities where everyone knows each other and small businesses are the driving force of commerce….

These communities face some challenges and the people living there are resilient and hard working.

“These are all the qualities I see in Wabash.”

City to consider smoking

THE PAPER OF WABASH

Council member wants smoking banned near playground equipment

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Smoking near playground equipment in parks around the City of Wabash may soon become illegal.

City Attorney Doug Lehman was ordered to draft such an ordinance near the conclusion of the Aug. 10 Wabash City Council meeting.

Council member Scott Long broached the topic during the portion of the meeting in which the Council is asked if its members have any remarks.

“I’ve been approached by several

parents who take their kids to the parks,” Long said.

“Their kids are up on the playground equipment and there are parents smoking below them.

“I’m not asking for the whole park, just where the children don’t have a choice.”

Mayor Robert Va n l a n d i n g h a m asked Long if he had discussed the request with either Park Superintendent Todd Titus or with the Wabash Park Board.

Long said he has spoken about the matter with Titus.

Va n l a n d i n g h a m said he personally didn’t have a problem

with the request.

But, he said, “you can have all the ordinances in the world, but the hardest thing to do is enforce them.”

“You can have one that will take care of 100 feet here, but out here in the middle you can do it,” he continued. “But you can’t do it here, but you can do it here, no you can’t do it here. It makes it awfully hard to enforce it.

“We’ve had this come up before. I don’t have a problem with it, but I’m telling you that’s one of the things you usually run up against when you do this.

Somewhere down the

road you may have an issue with it because it’s awfully difficult to enforce.”

Council member Bonnie Corn noted that several surrounding counties have similar measures.

“My answer to that is we’re not in the surrounding counties,” the mayor quipped.

City Attorney Doug Lehman asked Titus if he felt an ordinance would be better than a park rule.

“I think you need it as an ordinance,” Titus replied.

Council member Dan Townsend said he agreed with Long’s request.

Indiana hardship license laws have changed In doing this column, one of the goals was to, whenever possible, offer practical, general information about the law. For example, expungement was discussed to help those having trouble finding work due to a criminal record. Toward that goal, this column addresses something even more basic – the privilege to legally drive despite having a suspended license.

Previously an individual with a suspended license could apply for a “hardship” license. However, those were available to very few people and typically only allowed one to drive to and from work.

Under a law that went into effect on January 1st, “Specialized Driving Privileges” are now available to most Indiana drivers with suspended licenses.

Also, if granted, these driving privileges are much broader than those previously available under a hardship license.

The only drivers NOT eligible for specialized driving privileges are those who have (1) never had a valid Indiana driver's license; (2) only a commercial driver's license [CDL]; (3) refused to submit to a breathalyzer or other

chemical test; (4) been convicted for an offense involving the operation of a motor vehicle causing death; or (5) previously been granted specialized driving privileges and then were convicted of violating such privileges.

So any of the thousands of people with suspended licenses who do not fall into any of these five categories is now eligible to seek specialized driving privileges.

This means even those with multiple DUI’s, those convicted as Habitual Traffic Violators and those with a five or ten year or even lifetime suspensions can petition the court to legally drive again.

The process starts with a written petition to the court. The petition must include specific, required information. It may also request virtually any driving privilege(s) the petitioner believes is appropriate and reasonable under the circumstances.

In considering a petition, a judge has very broad discretion in granting or denying the requested privileges. Such decisions are made on a case-by-case, fact-specific basis.

If granted, the privileges must be for a minimum of 180

days; however, the judge can restrict or limit the privileges in many ways. This includes requiring an ignition interlock device (an in car breathalyzer used before the vehicle will start) and limiting driving to certain hours of the day or to specific routes, distances and locations from a place of residence and/or for particular purposes such as employment, transportation for a sick family member, or court-ordered child visitation exchanges.

Finally, anyone granted specialized driving privileges must (1) provide insurance for their vehicle; (2) carry with them when driving proof of such insurance and the order granting specialized privileges; and (3) produce those documents at any time requested by a law enforcement officer.

So if you have a suspended license -- even if you have already been denied a hardship license -- it might be time to have your case reviewed to determine if you can benefit from these major changes in the law.

White’s receives Century Certificate... continued from the front page things happen.

“So I’m glad to be here and I’m so impressed with the facility. I’ve heard so much about it so it was an honor just to be on the ground of this establishment.

“But as secretary,” Lawson continued, “to honor someone that has been in business for over 100 years, 165 years I’m

told for White’s, is an honor as well. Not very many businesses can accomplish that and be in good standing the entire time. So I’m just happy to be here on both fronts for both my work in the Senate and Secretary of State.”

White’s CEO Dee Gibson accepted the certificate on behalf

of the facility and said that it was a great honor.

“It was a little over 38 years ago that I came to White’s and I knew when I came to White’s it was going to be a special place in my life,” Gibson said during his acceptance speech.

In an interview with The Paper following the ceremony, Gibson said that the certificate is an affirmation of the good work that White’s

has been doing for more than 100 years.

“It’s quite a provision of God, I believe,” he continued. “We have a history of 165 years and still going strong so we’re very thankful for that.

“I look across this group of people here today and many of

these people for 20, 30, even 40 years have given most of their lives to caring for kids and their families and it’s kind of a sacrifical giving. … It kind of keeps you charged up and keeps you remembering why you’re doing what you’re doing.”

Firm gets abatement on home renovation

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com E.W. Miller Investments received a five-year tax abatement on a home the company is currently refurbishing on the city’s south side.

“I want to use the tax abatement to make it more appealing to the buyers,” E.W. Miller Investments owner Brian Evans told the council. “I typically have each property for six to eight months.”

He noted he recently completed a project near Council member Margaret “Boo” Salb’s home.

“I didn’t ask for the tax abatement because I didn’t really

know about it,” he said. “All my taxes are paid. All my lawns are mowed.

“I just basically turn (the homes) over.

We do not rent anything. We have no rentals. We don’t sell on land contracts. I typically look at the nicer neighborhoods.”

Mayor Robert Vanlandingham said Evans’ actions are exactly what the residential property tax abatements were designed to help.

When the property is sold, the abatement is already in place and transferred to the new owner, Council member Bryan Dillon noted.

“It is stair stepped for five years,” Evans said. “So, if I have it

The firm, according to paperwork filed with the city, seeks to make repairs to the home at 179 Shady Lane Drive.

Evans noted in the paperwork that 98 percent of the labor would be drawn from

sources within Wabash County, while 95 percent of all construction materials will be purchased in Wabash County.

As part of the resolution granting the abatement, the firm must have the project finished within one year.

Kugler named Duke Energy Difference Maker

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

INDIANAPOLIS – Clint Kugler, executive director of the Wabash County YMCA, is now a Duke Energy Difference Maker.

Kugler received the honor here at Victory Field on Friday night, Aug. 14, between games of an Indianapolis Indians – Durham Bulls doubleheader.

Laura Sheets, District Manager for Duke Energy’s Northern District, and Indians General Manager Randy Lewandowski presented Kugler the award during a ceremony along the third base line. Kugler, who was introduced to the crowd prior to the ceremony, was honored for his work with Wabash County Promise and Promise Indiana.

In its first year, the crowd learned, Wabash County Promise brought the number of local students in kindergarten through third grade with CollegeChoice 529 savings plans from 3 percent to 72 percent.

The program has since turned into a pilot program and has expanded to several other Indiana counties.

“Clint’s one of those people that doesn’t say ‘Here’s what we have. Can you use it?’” Sheets told The Paper of Wabash County following the ceremony.

“He says, ‘What do you need?’ and he fills that need.

“I see that’s what he’s done in all the programs around Wabash, but in particular around the Promise.”

Photo by Joseph Slacian bled to receive the award.

“My first reaction was ‘Can we make this a group award?’ because there’s so many people in Wabash County that have contributed to make this a success,” he said. “It’s not a single-person deal.

It’s a community deal.”

However, Sheets, who also is chair of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County board of directors, told him that the award was strictly for him but added

that the story of Wabash County Promise could be told.

“Laura has been a huge advocate and supporter; someone whose caught the vision from the beginning and has been an advocate of this work,” Kugler continued. “I deeply appreciate Duke Energy’s engagement and support, and her’s in particular.”

About 30 people from Wabash County were on hand to watch Kugler receive the award.

Officials investigate E. coli outbreak the local health departments and conducting an investigation on Aug. 5,” she continued. “To date, we are investigating

... continued from the front page

six individuals, six cases of presumed E. coli infection.

“Three of these have been confirmed and do attend a local

daycare, but that does not indicate that the daycare is the source of infection.”

One of the infected individuals did pass away since the investigations began.

While the ISDH did not identify the daycare, Pontones said that daycare officials have been fully cooperative with the ISDH and the facility has been thoroughly cleaned with bleach water. All parents of children attending the daycare have been notified and the facility’s staff will be further monitoring the children for E. coli like symptoms, she continued.

Since Friday Aug. 7, no new diarrheal illnesses have been identified at the daycare and, at this time, there is no evidence linking the “deceased individual” to a daycare, Pontones concluded.

While the ISDH would not discuss specifics, WSJV-TV South Bend spoke to Paul and Tracey Schaeffner on Wednesday Aug. 12 who believe that the death of their daughter, Destiny Smith, 9, was related to E. coli.

On Aug. 5, Destiny was taken to Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis and diagnosed with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a life-threatening condition that occurs in approximately 8 percent of E. coli cases and a severe result of the bacterial infection E. coli 0157:H7.

Destiny died two days later, according to the news story.

The ISDH is considering this an outbreak, according to Pontones.

“We define an outbreak as an excess number of cases in a particular population at a given time that exceeds what we would normally expect to see,” she said. “The initial cases were identified linked to a local daycare which caught our attention and prompted us to conduct further investigation as we would not expect to see cases of this infection in a daycare and certainly we want to prevent any further cases of illness from occurring.”

Another reason these cases have been under investigation is

because a single source has yet to have been identified, according to Dr. Jennifer Walthall, deputy state health commissioner.

The source was likely brought into the daycare, Pontones continued, and was transmitted person to person. However, the source has not yet been identified and it might never be found.

“No common links, to this point, have been identified among all of these cases,” she said. “However, as Dr. Adams mentioned, this is still a very active and fluid investigation.”

If there was a common link, such as a restaurant or food item, the ISDH would likely be expect to see many more cases, Pontones explained.

“We have not established any link to cases that were reported in area earlier this year,” she continued. “In fact, laboratory testing conducted at our Indiana State Department of Health laboratory has ruled out any association between those earlier cases and the cases now under investigation.”

Facts about E. coli ... continued from the front page etables or herbs and drinking unpasteurized milk and juices, according to the ISDH. Any person may become infected, but young children, older adults, pregnant women and immune suppressed individuals are more likely to get ill. Elderly and very young children have the highest risk of having severe illness and catching hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a serious condition that can lead to kidney

failure and death.

Frequent and thorough hand-washing after using the restroom, after contact with an animal, after changing diapers, assisting someone who is ill or handling raw meat is key to protecting oneself from E. coli, according to Pam Pontones, Indiana State epidemiologist.

If an individual has a diarrheal illness, do not self-medicate by taking antibiotics or any anti-diarrheal agents without con-

sultation with a physician first, according to Dr. Jennifer Walthall, deputy state health commissioner.

“If (a person) believes that they are ill with diarrheal illness or may have been exposed to E. coli or had exposure to someone else who is ill, contact your healthcare provider right away,” Pontones said.

“Mention your potential exposure and ask your healthcare provider to consider testing.”

“To be honest with you,” Vigar said, “I take a break about every 10 minutes or so to catch my breath.

this up.”

Organizers wanted to keep the funds as local as possible, and decided on raising funds for the Hoosier Burn Camp.

“The burn camp is for kids who have been hurt in fires,” Mullett said. “It’s similar to the MDA camp where the kids all suffer some of the same effects. They are very similar cases, and they all get to be around kids just like themselves.

“It allows kids to just be themselves and not have to worry about the stresses of life.”

The funds help pay for the youngster to attend camp, as well as qualified personnel to tend to the youngsters, and various medical needs the

campers need.

“Jeff contacted the burn camp and they were very happy and pleased that we were willing to let them out,” Vigar said.

“We’re just doing it to honor the 343 firefighters who died, plus raise a little money to help kids in our state,” Vigar said.

Also being honored are the three Wabash County firefighters who have died in the line of duty.

Anyone interested in donating to the effort can do so at the Wabash Fire Department.

“If we make $100, we make $100. If we make $4,000, we make $4,000,” Vigar said.

“That’s the way we’re going to look at it.”

Park Board OKs first phase of inclusive park...continued from page 2 these?’” Myers continued.

“It was ‘Wabash needs one of these.’ Every playground should be like this.

Every playground should be for everybody, not just kids who don’t have mobility issues or kids who don’t need a place that’s a little quieter and are afraid of the bigger playground.

“What we’re trying to do is encompass kids with regular abilities and kids with different abilities. … Whatever it is, we want to encompass everybody and give everybody a place where the feel comfortable.”

Prazeau said the project is divided into two phases.

The first phase includes up to three play areas – one for youngsters younger 5 years of age, and one for youngsters between 5 and 12 years of age. The third play area, which could be included if funding is available, is a hillside play area that includes walls, a bridge and other amenities.

A shelter and restroom also are included in the first phase.

The second phase includes the hillside play area, a sound play area, a sensory garden and more. The price tag on the second phase is more than $467,000.

“Inclusive playgrounds are a passion for us,” Prazeau told the board and those

“The way I see it, I’m going to tell you the dollar amount I need and ask you to be a part of it in whatever way you feel comfortable.”

Shelly Myers talks about the need for an inclusive park in the City of Wabash during the Wabash Park Board meeting. Photo by Joseph Slacian in attendance.

Myers knows that while the first phase for the project was green lighted by the Park Board, the inclusive park committee’s work is just beginning.

“The big fight that we’re going to have is educating the public between accessible and inclusive,” she said.

“We’re not building a park for handicapped kids.

That’s a very small percentage of whom we’re trying to address.

“The issue we’re trying to address is letting my kid, and any other kid like him, get to play with everybody else.

They’re segregated.

He’s segregated at school and in the community in general. And it’s not on purpose.

“But we want there to be a place where everybody is on an equal playing field,

and that’s what we’re trying to create.”

Following the meeting, she said she was pleased with the board’s actions, and said she never gave up hope for the project, even after it was initially pulled from the Stellar plans.

“I’ve known from the beginning that we were going to make this happen,” she told The Paper of Wabash County following the meeting. “We’re fortunate in that we’ve had the support early on from Todd and the mayor and the families and the people of the community who wanted to be a part of this. It’s just going to get bigger.”

The next step, she said, is to get the design plans presented Wednesday turned into construction plans, which can be given to potential donors.

Consolidation talks possible, MSD official says

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com MSD of Wabash County School Board does “want to discuss” consolidation however it is still unclear when, according to Dr. Sandra Weaver, the school corporation’s superintendent.

Weaver commented on the topic after the MSD of Wabash County School Board meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 11, a week after the topic was broached at the Wabash City School Board meeting on Aug. 3. by WCS board member Bill Konyha.

At the time, rather than referring to it as “consolidation,” Konhya suggested that Wabash City Schools

and MSD of Wabash County should discuss “unification.”

However, Weaver said the MSD of Wabash County Board would refer to the topic as “consolidation” instead of other terminology.

Weaver said she is not sure if the topic will be discussed at the next board meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 25.

ested,” she said.

“We’ve kind of been sharing the project just to get people informed and get them excited. And then, when we actually formulate the fundraising campaign, people already know what we’re doing and it’s just the time to start giving.”

She said she is unsure when any fundraising campaign will begin.

“We’re literally just scratching the surface on all of that,” she said. “We have to decide what our best route is going to be to get it done sooner rather than later.

Titus agreed with Myers’ assessment, adding he too didn’t know when fundraising might start.

“I would think we would be starting to

talk to some key people in the community fairly soon,” he said.

“But until we got through here tonight, we didn’t want to get too involved there.”

WASHINGTON – U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) Administrator Val Dolcini today announced that the Farm Storage Facility Loan (FSFL) program, which provides low-interest financing to producers to build or upgrade storage facilities, will now include dairy, flowers and meats as eligible commodities.

“For 15 years, this program has provided affordable financing, allowing American farmers and ranchers to construct or expand storage on the farm,” said Dolcini. “By adding eligible commodities, these lowinterest loans will help even more family farmers and ranchers to expand on-site storage.”

The new commodities eligible for facility loans include floriculture, hops, rye, milk, cheese,

butter, yogurt, meat and poultry (unprocessed), eggs, and aquaculture (excluding systems that maintain live animals through uptake and discharge of water).

Commodities already eligible for the loans include corn, grain sorghum, rice, soybeans, oats, peanuts, wheat, barley, minor oilseeds harvested as whole grain, pulse crops (lentils, chickpeas and dry peas), hay, honey, renewable biomass, and fruits, nuts and vegetables for cold storage facilities.

Since 2000, more than 35,000 facility loans have been approved totaling $2 billion in rural investments.

On average, about 1,600 new loans are made each year. Producers do not need to demonstrate the lack of commercial credit availability to apply.

The loans are designed to assist a diverse range of farming operations, including small and

mid-sized businesses, new farmers, operations supplying local food and farmers markets, non-traditional farm products, and underserved producers.

City’s mowing fee increase passes

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

It will now cost more for property owners if the City of Wabash is required to mow their lawns.

The Wabash City Council on Monday, Aug. 10, unanimously approved on second reading of an ordinance increasing fees

from $15 to $50 per hour, with a minimum fee of $50. Because this was second reading, the ordinance is now in effect.

However, the change did not come without opposition from one member of the public.

Dave Monroe, a candidate for the Wabash City Council’s Second District seat, objected to the increase.

“Some of the properties that you’re mowing … if you’re going to end up charging $150 for mowing, you’re only going to have to mow it two or three times before you own it,” he told the Council.

“If you’re going to go from $15 to $50, which is a 300 percent increase, how do you plan on actually collecting that money?”

City Attorney Doug Lehman said there are several ways for the city to recoup its money, noting that a lien will be initially placed on the property.

“Most of the time these properties end up being abandoned and go to a tax sale or a mortgage foreclosure,” he said. “If they go to a mortgage foreclosure, the bank often times –

not always – is the one that ends up purchasing the property at the mortgage foreclosure, and our lien and the taxes get paid before anything else happens to the money.”

If the property doesn’t go through mortgage foreclosure, it is sold at a tax sale.

“If it’s sold at a tax sale,” Lehman continued, “our lien has to be

paid as part of the taxes.”

If the property doesn’t sell at the tax sale, it then goes to a commissioners’ sale.

“If it goes to a commissioners’ sale, it can sell for any amount of money, and often times we end up getting only cents on the dollar,” Lehman said. “The majority of the cases end up in a sheriff ’s

sale through a foreclosure, or through a tax sale, and eventually the city will get its money.

Monroe said the city is, essentially, “causing the property to go further upside down every time they mow it.”

Lehman responded, “Most of the time that property is already upside down by the time we’re mowing it. (continued on page 15)

Manchester pharmacy student recognized for public health leadership From the Manchester University News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER — Cindy Lu, who is beginning her fourth year in the doctor of pharmacy program at M a n c h e s t e r University, was one of only eight pharmacy students in the nation chosen as a Paul Ambrose Scholar.

Sponsored by the Association for Prevention Teaching and Research and the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, the selective program is designed to prepare public health and clinical health professions students to address population

health challenges at the national and community levels.

From June 26-29, Lu, along with 39 other student leaders from 36 institutions around the United States, participated in a leadership symposium in the nation’s capital. They attended presentations on subjects ranging from health care and the economy to project planning and community organizing.

“There are also networking luncheons with fellow Paul Ambrose scholars and mentors to exchange ideas on project implementation and to learn about various public health careers,” Lu said. Originally from San Jose, Calif., she

now lives in Fort Wayne.

The participants will use what they learned to develop a project to benefit their local communities. Lu’s project focuses on nutrition and obesity.

“I believe maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential in disease prevention and preserving one’s quality of life,” she said. “I will work with the Neighborhood Health Clinic at downtown Fort Wayne to evaluate the usage of Farmer’s Market Nutrition Program vouchers by those in WIC.” Indiana WIC Program serves about 168,000 women, infants and children each month through

a statewide network of 145 clinics. The program supports $114 million in food sales at more than 780 sites.

“My eventual goal is to promote Farmer’s Market utilization among not only WIC participants but to the rest of the Fort Wayne residents to eventually increase their daily intake of fresh fruits and vegetables,” Lu said.

“Our school is committed to advancing health care and how pharmacy is practiced,” said Özlem Ersin, associate professor of pharmaceutical sciences at Manchester and one of Lu’s project mentors, “Cindy’s project represents an ideal state where preven-

tion is integral to patient care.”

“From the forums offered by the symposium, I have gained practical skills – such as identifying the stakeholders in my community, ways of becoming a healthpolicy advocate and implementing my community project with long-term sustainability in mind,” Lu said. “I hope to use these skills to successfully complete my community project for the next year.”

Ultimately, Lu hopes to become a public health policy advocate for pharmacists. “I would also like to support and write policies to enhance pharmacyprovided services to patients,” she said.

City’s mowing fee increase passes... continued from page 12 If we’re mowing it, it’s because the property owner is not caring for it.”

Monroe likened the measure to his vehicle breaking down on the side of the road.

“The city doesn’t have its own tow truck to come out and tow me in,” he said. “Isn’t there some way besides the city actually mowing those grasses?”

Lehman said his example is essentially the same thing that the city is doing.

“If your vehicle breaks down on the side of the road and you walk away from it, what will happen is the government – the sheriff ’s department, the police department, the state police – calls a tow truck and it will be towed,” the city attorney said. “The person who tows it holds it until they are paid, and that is essentially a lien.”

However, Monroe argued, that the situation with the tow truck doesn’t involve taxpayer’s money.

“That may be true,” Lehman conceded, “but part of what we’re doing has a public safety aspect to it. That aspect is that if there are weeds and grasses that become a place for vermin and things like that … we can’t just let it keep happening.

“There’s no real service out there that can have a lien on real estate like the city can.

A mechanic who has possession of the vehicle has the right to keep that vehicle until that mechanic gets paid. There’s no way for a private person to have a lien on the real estate of someone else, in the absence of that person giving him in a lien, as in a mortgage, or a statute, and there is no statute that provides that kind of a lien in this type of situation, other than a lien to the city.”

The state has favored the city in these types of situations, making it second only to property taxes in order of being repaid.

Wabash Street D e p a r t m e n t Superintendent Scott Richardson said that once the public learned of the pending

increase, three property owners have contact the city and asked not to have it mow any longer.

“People are realizing maybe they can hire a lawn care service or do it themselves,” he said.

“We’re still mowing 38 of them, so maybe we can drop a few more off this week.”

Council member Margaret “Boo” Salb, also suggested neighbors helping one another out with mowing.

“We’ve got to keep our neighborhoods safe and in decent shape, so we’re just trying to do what we can to keep it under control,” she said.

Wabash Little League receives donation It’s the time of

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash Little League received a $1,500 donation from Chevrolet and Dorais Chevrolet Buick GMC. The money comes from a two-part fundraising campaign, Dorais owner Dave Dorais said.

“Chevrolet and Dorais Chevrolet Buick GMC gave them $500 up front,” he said. “We gave them that at the season’s kickoff in April.”

In May, the dealership had a program in which it donated funds to the League for every test drive that customers took on a specific Friday

and Saturday.

“We did a baseball, hot dog, apple pie and Chevrolet theme,” Dorais said. “We had a great turnout.

There were a lot more kids here this year, which made if more fun with the hot dogs and apple pie.”

Little League President Bryan Dillon thanked Chevrolet and Dorais for their help.

He also thanked all the others who contributed to the League this year.

“Nothing is possible unless it’s donated,” Dillon said. “I can’t thank Dave and Chevrolet enough for what they’ve done in the community, as well

Contributions helped more than 500 youths participate in the various divisions of the

League this year.

As for the funds from Dorais, Dillon said, “We’ll put it to good use.”

“You know our budgets are uni-

forms, hats, field maintenance,” he continued. “We’ll probably use this money for something special for the League, if we can.”

By Bill Barrows Remember the Staples TV ad from a few years back…..maybe it is still being aired. You know the one, the two parents doing a celebratory dance to the holiday tune with the lyrics being sung in the background of “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” and the kids heading off to school?

Well, that’s how we feel as we prepare for the high school football season.

A quick drive through a school campus in the afternoon is a dead giveaway that the teams are in preparing for their opening game of the season. The color of a Friday night football game is in our midst.

Let’s do this thing.

The Wabash WebTV broadcast crew will provide you with a type of media that is the wave of the future and we love doing it for you and will try to

refine the broadcasts to continually upgrade it and make it top notch. Speaking for our commentators, Rick Harness, Jim Landrum, Tim Harness, Troy Miller and Chandler Jones as well as our tech and support staff, Donald Collins, Dave Prater and Julie Schnepp, we are ready for the season to begin too!

This week, the opening games play out as follows: Manchester travels to Missisinewa, Southwood hosts Southern Wells, both 7 p.m. start times.

Boone Grove travels to Wabash for an 8 p.m. kickoff. The Wabash WebTV crew will be on hand at Northfield as they entertain Bluffton.

Join Wabash WebTV for exciting action of Indiana High School football, and in season, basketball and on select dates for swimming and wrestling. The Wabash WebTV schedule will be published in The Paper of Wabash County as well as broadcast on Wabash WebTV. If you are at a game or cannot watch it live, an archive of the featured game is available on the website shortly after the completion of each game.

Stirring it up with Angie Baer My husband has always been a good cyclist. Me? Not so much.

I will admit, when we first purchased our tandem bike a few years ago, the thought of being the stoker on the back and giving up all control was a little overwhelming for me. We soon settled into quite a routine and now we are old pros.

Two weeks ago, Dave and I along with a few close friends packed a satchel full of Slim Jims, water, trail mix and a few changes of clothing and started off on an amazing journey cycling up through Canada and eventually around Niagra Falls. I have always heard how beautiful Canada was but truly experiencing it from the back of a tandem bicycle was indescribable. I have come to appreciate being “just the stoker” on the back. I get to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature without the worries of shifting gears, traffic flow or changing lanes.

While on our journey, we peddled our way into a town called Grimsby where we were met with such warmth from some of the locals.

They were curious to know where we were headed to and how far we had traveled. They also pointed us in the right direction to the best restaurants. This one particular evening, I ordered a Caesar salad with grilled chicken.It was good but, I couldn’t help but think my recipe for Caesar salad is... well.... better. Hope you love it as much as we do.

Caesar Salad 1 cup plain yogurt 1 cup bottled Italian dressing 4 garlic cloves 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 2 heads romaine lettuce, torn into bite size pieces 12 slices crisp bacon, crumbled 4 oz, crumbled blue cheese croutons Whisk yogurt, dressing, garlic, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over lettuce. Top with bacon,blue cheese and croutons.

through freezing, canning and fermenting.

Beth Magnani, a Bloomington resident visiting friends in Wabash, said she didn’t expect how nice and big the festival was.

“We have something similar to this in Bloomington once a week and this is really nice,” she told The Paper of Wabash County. “I liked all the little craft booths and the different things to look at. It’s really interesting.”

Magnani said that

she loved the miniature plants, but the Curb burger was her favorite part of it. She may return next year to see more of the county’s homemade crafts, she concluded.

Local resident Art Conner was on his second trip to the Garden and Herb Festival when he spoke to The Paper.

“I think (this festival) is one more of the many things that happens here at Paradise Springs that just puts Wabash on the map,” Conner said.

He noted that the festival, paired with the Kunkel Cruise-In and the downtown merchants’ sidewalk sales, offered something interesting for everyone.

“I think that there are a lot of people who do walk inbetween and they see the shops,” Conner said. “I think this whole thing is great for Wabash. … Today is a busy day, it’s a busy weekend and Wabash is hopping.”

Peabody Home Foundation hosting endowment benefit auction

By Shaun Tilghman news@thepaperofwabash.com NORTH MANCHESTER — Peabody Home Foundation will offer a unique opportunity to purchase countless works of art, timeless collectibles, and oneof-a-kind items during an Endowment Benefit Auction from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Saturday, Aug. 22, on the Peabody R e t i r e m e n t Community campus, located at 400 W. 7th Street.

The auction, which will feature more than 250 lots of fine antiques, is the result of the Foundation’s recent comprehensive inventory and valuation of their older collections, according to Peabody Director of Development Stan Williams.

Inventory of Collections “The whole thing started several years ago, when the Peabody Home Foundation Board asked me to do a complete inventory of everything – for a variety of reasons,” said Williams. “We wanted an accurate inventory, but we also wanted to make sure that our insurance was properly valuing the collections we had. So, we embarked on a twoyear process of understanding our collections.

“We established a collections database, much like what museums generally use, and we inventoried and tagged everything. While we were taking inventory, we discovered a couple of things. For one, we discovered collections and items that we had long since forgotten we had – over 80 years things sometimes get stored away and forgotten.

“Another thing we discovered was that,

in our handling of the collections over the years, we had inadvertently put some items in places they shouldn’t have been, such as direct sunlight. As a result, we had inadvertently allowed some items to get damaged.

We also discovered that, while some things were losing their value, others were escalating in value.”

Williams stressed the fact that Peabody is not a museum, and thus, not a good protector of relics and collections.

“We’re very good at retirement and long-term care,” he added. “In fact, we are one of the finest retirement communities in the Midwest, but one thing we definitely are not is a museum.”

The Endowment Fund The Peabody Home F o u n d a t i o n Endowment Fund is comprised of generous gifts and bequests, given with the intent that the principle remain intact in perpetuity, and that it grow in market value over time.

Each named endowment has a specific purpose, as determined by the donors.

In doing so, the donor has perpetuated their ideals, by giving to what was important to them, in a way that will bless many lives for many years to come. In some cases, families of the person, in whose name the fund was created, give to the fund each year to ensure its annual growth.

“All contributions and donations are given to Peabody Home Foundation,” Williams explained, “and then the Foundation essentially monitors those contributions in order to ensure that grants are made to Peabody R e t i r e m e n t Community in accordance with the interests of the original donors.

“Following the inventory, the Foundation’s Board of Directors spent a number of meetings discussing what to do next. The board did not take this task lightly, as many of them are generous donors themselves, or family members of residents or former residents. Actually, a couple of board members are current residents themselves.

“So, these are people

deeply interested in the life of Peabody, and they came to the conclusion that we shouldn’t be keeping things like this – whether in storage or on display. However, rather than selling them and simply letting the money go to the bottom line, the board decided to establish permanent endowments in the names and in the memories of the original donors.”

Collections to Endowments By converting older

collections to named endowments, the Peabody Home Foundation Board is not only protecting the value of the contributions, but also increasing the benefit to residents, both current and future. These endowments will become part of the Foundation’s perpetual endowment fund, with annual income to be used as the fund stipulates.

Once the board decided to transform the aging collections into ageless endow-

ments, they asked Williams to assess the most appropriate use of the endowment income.

“After either meeting with surviving family or doing research, if there is no surviving family, I was able to provide the board with the most appropriate uses for the endowments,” Williams said.

“We came up with 20 new named endowments that will be established from the sale of all of our collections and

antiques,” he continued. “They range from established endowments to benefit the chapel and chaplaincy program, to endowments supporting the maintenance and care of the historic buildings – those built by the original Peabody family.”

Unique Auction Items According to the auction pamphlet, what makes this benefit auction extremely unique, is the opportunity to purchase origi(continued on page 24)

“Homer and Bess Davisson were devout members of the First Presbyterian Church in Fort Wayne,”

Williams noted.

“Shortly after Homer died, Bess came to live at Peabody because we’re Presbyterian.

They also had a studio that was located in Somerset, so this area was a great place of

memory for both Homer and Bess.”

More than 20 paintings from Mrs. Davisson’s personal collection will be available during the auction. After she died, the works were displayed throughout the halls at Peabody, but now the time has come for Peabody to become a better steward for these rare gifts.

“Neither Homer nor Bess Davisson was from North M a n c h e s t e r, ” Williams added. “Bess came to Peabody because we’re Presbyterian, not because we’re in North Manchester. So, in selling their collection, it made sense to establish the Homer G. and Elizabeth Davisson Chapel Endowment, because the chapel is the Peabody Memorial Chapel of the Presbyterian Church.

Thus, their endow-

Not Everyone Agrees Some people have questioned whether, instead of auctioning certain collections and items, Peabody should donate them to such places as the Town of North Manchester or the North Manchester Historical Society.

“The board agonized over that as well,” said Williams, “and there really was a lot of conversation involving those possibilities, but they finally came to a conclusion that involved several factors. “ P e a b o d y R e t i r e m e n t Community provides over $1 million in subsidized care to older adults in the region.

And I really want to

stress to the community, that we are an older adult’s or retired person’s only choice if they have no money and need direct admission to a health care center or to assisted living.

“So, our annual subsidy care for this community is tremendous, and we believe that’s our mission, and we take it seriously. Thus, to give something away that has tremendous value, rather than putting that money toward subsidy care, would be irresponsible of us, because our mission is our priority.”

Another reason the board decided to hold an auction was that, in most cases, and especially in the case of the Davisson paintings, the donor gave them to Peabody, and their interest was in Peabody rather than the town or the Historical Society, according to Williams.

“Many people do move to Peabody because it’s in North Manchester, but that’s just not always the case,” he continued.

“So, it didn’t make sense that we would pass on something of great value that could be translated into a permanent endowment in support of our mission.”

Future Homes for Items Williams went on to say that, there are some items up for bid, such as the bicycle owned by Mary K. Peabody, that they hope will end up staying local. “We’re hoping with items like that, someone who is a contributor to the North Manchester Center for History will step forward and purchase it in order to donate it to the Center,” he added.

“We really see that as a win-win,” Williams continued.

donating items of local significance to the historical society, but they’ll also be contributing to our mission to help residents whose resources have run out, as well as supporting the upkeep of our historic buildings.

“We’re also very pleased that, at least in terms of the paintings, they will likely go to the places we had hoped they would go.

We have several area museums that are interested, as well as several collectors, who are lovers of Homer Davisson’s work. So, the people that buy them on August 22nd will likely take better care of them than we’ve ever been able to take care of them.”

YOUR WEEKLY ISAAC-ISM: “If you have been around me on the tennis court you may have over heard me say: ‘be professional!’ A professional is more than someone who accepts money to play tennis (or whatever). Being professional is to embody the positive attitudes, characteris-

tics and behaviors of someone successful in not only tennis but life. To be professional is to: understand what is most important is your character; do the right or appropriate things all the time; be highly engaged in practice, be an excellent practice partner; hustle for every ball and stay focused on getting better; not avoid areas of weakness, instead work on them diligently to improve; do not make excuses, instead accept that you are not perfect and mistakes happen; respond to stress and adversity with respect and good sportsmanship. Being professional relates to many different things, but starts with a mentality of doing the right thing (in this case to succeed in tennis with honor and character) even when no one is watching you and there is temptation to be unprofessional. My advice; be professional in all you do!”

Nomanco expected to return to Roann site shortly

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com ROANN – Nomanco Trailers is expected to re-open at its site destroyed by an April fire in the next few weeks, a company official told The Paper of Wabash County.

Crews from Miller Construction are rebuilding the structure that was destroyed in an April 23 fire.

The company, which builds trailers and truck beds, actually resumed work within a week of the fire at a different loca-

tion. The fire was started by a short in some conduit.

“We were actually only down a week,” said Mark Schuler, who co-owns the business with David Schuler. “We were at another complex down in Roann. We called in a few buddies, they wired it up, and we were back in business.”

Schuler’s son, Zac, has joined the business.

“I’m kind of excited about that,” Schuler said. “A young mind comes up with a lot of ideas.”

Construction on the

new facility at 6533 W 400 N should be done later this week, Schuler said.

“Then I’ve got to insulate it, do a little concrete work and wire it,” he continued. “I’m hoping by Labor Day we’ll be back open.”

The company, he said, received quite a bit of support in the days after the fire.

“We had a lot of good family and friends help out,” he said. “Everyone just showed up, chipped in and all went to work.”

In addition to him and his son, the firm employs two other

people.

“It’s pretty much a family business,” Schuler said, “because they’ve been with us for over 25 years.”

The business opened in North Manchester in 1969 and moved to its present location in 1977.

“It was just an old farm building and we just kept adding on to it and adding on to it,” Schuler said. “At one time we produced 100 trailers per day.”

Today the firm makes about 600 trailers per year.

City’s mowing fee increase passes

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com It will now cost more for property owners if the City of Wabash is required to mow their lawns.

The Wabash City Council on Monday, Aug. 10, unanimously approved on second reading of an ordinance increasing fees from $15 to $50 per hour, with a minimum fee of $50.

Because this was second reading, the ordinance is now in effect.

However, the

change did not come without opposition from one member of the public.

Dave Monroe, a candidate for the Wabash City Council’s Second District seat, objected to the increase.

“Some of the properties that you’re mowing … if you’re going to end up charging $150 for mowing, you’re only going to have to mow it two or three times before you own it,” he told the Council. “If you’re going to go from $15 to $50, which is a 300 percent increase, how do

you plan on actually collecting that money?”

City Attorney Doug Lehman said there are several ways for the city to recoup its money, noting that a lien will be initially placed on the property.

“Most of the time these properties end up being abandoned and go to a tax sale or a mortgage foreclosure,” he said. “If they go to a mortgage foreclosure, the bank often times – not always – is the one that ends up purchas-

ing the property at the mortgage foreclosure, and our lien and the taxes get paid before anything else happens to the money.”

If the property doesn’t go through mortgage foreclosure, it is sold at a tax sale.

“If it’s sold at a tax sale,” Lehman continued, “our lien has to be paid as part of the taxes.”

If the property doesn’t sell at the tax sale, it then goes to a commissioners’ sale.

“If it goes to a commissioners’ sale, it

Mike’s Great Giveaway is Saturday at Christ UMC

can sell for any amount of money, and often times we end up getting only cents on the dollar,” Lehman said. “The majority of the cases end up in a sheriff ’s sale through a foreclosure, or through a tax sale, and eventually the city will get its money.

Monroe said the city is, essentially, “causing the property to go further upside down every time they mow it.”

Lehman responded, “Most of the time that property is already upside down by the time we’re mowing it.

If we’re mowing it, it’s because the property owner is not caring for it.”

Monroe likened the measure to his vehicle breaking down on the side of the road.

“The city doesn’t have its own tow truck to come out and tow me in,” he said.

“Isn’t there some way besides the city actually mowing those grasses?”

Lehman said his example is essentially the same thing that the city is doing.

“If your vehicle breaks down on the side of the road and you walk away from

it, what will happen is the government – the sheriff ’s department, the police department, the state police – calls a tow truck and it will be towed,” the city attorney said.

“The person who tows it holds it until they are paid, and that is essentially a lien.”

However, Monroe argued, that the situation with the tow truck doesn’t involve taxpayer’s money.

“That may be true,” Lehman conceded, “but part of what we’re doing has a public safety aspect to it.

That aspect is that if there are weeds and grasses that become a place for vermin and things like that … we can’t just let it keep happening.

“There’s no real service out there that can have a lien on real estate like the city can. A mechanic who has possession of the vehicle has the right to keep that vehicle until that mechanic gets paid. There’s no way for a private person to have a lien on the real estate of someone else, in the absence of that person giving him in a lien, as in a mortgage, or a statute, and there

is no statute that provides that kind of a lien in this type of situation, other than a lien to the city.”

The state has favored the city in these types of situations, making it second only to property taxes in order of being repaid.

Wabash Street D e p a r t m e n t Superintendent Scott Richardson said that once the public learned of the pending increase, three property owners have contact the city and asked not to have it mow any longer.

“People are realizing maybe they can hire a lawn care service or do it themselves,” he said.

“We’re still mowing 38 of them, so maybe we can drop a few more off this week.”

Council member Margaret “Boo” Salb, also suggested neighbors helping one another out with mowing.

“We’ve got to keep our neighborhoods safe and in decent shape, so we’re just trying to do what we can to keep it under control,” she said.

By The Paper staff The 10th annual Mike’s Great Giveaway will take place from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, Aug. 22, at Christ United Methodist Church.

The Giveaway is in honor of Mike Drook,

a church member who passes away in June 2007. Organizers said Drook had a big heart and a concern for the community.

The Giveaway was a dream he had.

Beginning at 8 a.m., anyone can go to the church to see if there

are items which they could use. Those attending can take anything at no cost.

Organizers said it is the church’s desire to reach out to the community when many are unemployed, have lost their jobs or are struggling financially.

Christ United Methodist Church is located at 477 N. Wabash St., Wabash.

It is on the southeast corner of the intersection of Wabash Street, Manchester Avenue and Stitt Street.

Many worked to make 4-H Fair a success Dear Editor, The Purdue Extension Office of Wabash County would like to thank all of the 4-H volunteers and families for their contributions in making the 2015 4-H Fair a success. 4-H volunteers contribute countless hours on a year round basis.

The culmination of the hard work of many is the Wabash County 4-H Fair which enables the youth of Wabash County to exhibit projects that require year-long dedication and hard work. Many thanks are extended to the following groups who volunteer year round for the 4-H program: Wabash County 4-H Council, 4-H Club Leaders, Wabash County Fair Association, and the Wabash County Extension Board.

We could not successfully plan and implement the Wabash County 4-H Fair without the nearly 200 volunteers who assist with this venture.

The Extension Office

LETTER TO THE EDITOR would specifically like to thank 4-H Council President Doug Mays and Vice President Jeff Michel for the countless hours they spend on the grounds during fair week. In addition, 4-H Livestock Superintendents and committees as well as fair event committees work hard to make sure each 4-H member has a successful 4H experience.

This year, a new online database system was implemented statewide in order to better track 4-H member records, entries, results, etc.

It took the dedication of many including Extension Office Staff, 4-H Council, 4-H Club Leaders, L i v e s t o c k Committees, and especially 4-H families to make this program work successfully. Change can be difficult, but the Wabash County 4-H Community set a tremendous example of how well the pro-

gram can work when all commit and contribute. Was there room for improvement? Absolutely, the Extension Office and 4-H Council are always working on updating programming and providing 4H members with the best experience possible.

For the 4-H members to display projects during the fair, 4H members, parents, and leaders from each school area participate in service learning in the following ways: Pre-Fair Set-Up completed by Northfield; Post Auction Clean-Up completed by Southwood/Wabash; Post-Fair Tear Down completed by Manchester.

We appreciate all who helped with set-up and/or clean up.

These enormous tasks could not be done without the help of many!

Thank you to all the community partners who support

Wabash County 4-H and Purdue Extension not only during the fair but also year round.

Local businesses who dedicate time and resources to help benefit the 4-H youth of Wabash County are greatly appreciated.

Finally, thank you to the various media groups that covered the 4-H Fair. As always the daily/weekly coverage from our local newspapers and radio stations was outstanding.

We hope to see the Wabash County community at the fair again next year.

While we are still working on dates, plans are already underway.

Not involved with 4-H? Call the Extension Office at 260-563-0661 Ext. 1408 to find out how to volunteer or enroll as a youth member in the largest youth organization in the nation.

Honoring a victim’s advocate Dear Editor: Wabash County is losing a fierce victim’s advocate.

Anyone who has gone up against Helen Chambers when she is advocating for the rights of a victim knows what I mean.

Earlier this year Helen approached me with the realization that she was slowing down physically and in her words, “if she couldn’t give it 200 percent she needed to step aside.”

Helen has been the Wabash County Hands of Hope

Victim’s Advocate for the past 15 years – her anniversary date is actually Sept. 1.

Her last day of work is Aug. 31.

Over the years Helen has been that strong voice in Wabash County, ensuring that police, the prosecutor, probation, courts and various social service agencies have the best interest of victims – her clients at the center.

Helen has a passion that is hard to come by and will truly be missed. It should be with a sense of accomplish-

ment that Helen retires after working so hard all these years.

Helen has been recognized by the Wabash County Bar Association and the Indiana Coalition Against Sexual Violence for her outstanding work. I also recognize and thank her for all her tenacity and boldness to intervene for victims.

As Helen closes one chapter and works to see what life has in store for her, I say thank you Helen – and ask that everyone in the com-

munity who knows Helen to take time to publicly thank her on Aug. 31.

An open house is planned to recognize Helen from 4 to 6 p.m,. Monday, Aug. 31, at the Wabash Presbyterian Church, 123 W. Hill St., Wabash, where the Hands of Hope office is located. The public is invited and encouraged to attend. — Linda S. Wilk, Hands of Hope Director, a division of Family Service Society

Indiana State Fair from August 7-23. If you know a Wabash County 4-H member who shows livestock or non-livestock at the state level, take a moment to congratulate and encourage them as they represent Wabash County with pride! — Angela Christopher, 4-H Y o u t h Development, Extension Educator

Closing devotions were given by Carolyn Maxwell for grandchildren humor book quotes and prayer.

Farmers in eligible counties have eight months from the date of the declaration to apply for loans to help cover part of their actual losses. FSA will consider each loan application on its own merits, taking into account the extent of losses, security available and repayment ability. FSA has a variety of programs, in addition to the EM loan program, to help eligible farmers recover from

adversity.

Additional programs available to assist farmers include the E m e r g e n c y Conservation Program, The Livestock Forage Disaster Program, the Livestock Indemnity Program, the Emergency Assistance for L i v e s t o c k , Honeybees, and Farm-Raised Fish Program, and the Tree Assistance Program. Interested farmers may contact

their local USDA Service Centers for further information on eligibility requirements and application procedures for these and other programs.

Outfitting students' technology needs

Nowadays, school supplies differ greatly from the markers, protractors and pencil cases required just a few decades ago. Many classrooms are now geared toward digital learning, and items such as tablets, smartboards and laptop computers are essential to enhancing students' classroom experiences.

It's no surprise then that many students require a long list of tech products and applications to keep up with their studies.

To enhance the learning experience found in school, parents may want to allow access to such devices at home. The following are some tech items to consider. · Tablet: Android and Apple-based tablets give students easy access to a variety of applications and web connectivity. Their portability makes them a convenient way of staying connected both inside and outside the home. Many tablets can be enhanced with plugin keyboards that make typing easier.

Tablets can be used to take notes, browse the Internet, check email, and maintain correspondence with classmates via messaging applications. · Smartphone: Smartphones now have many of the same capabilities of tablets, albeit in smaller packages.

Parents may need to customize safety settings on phones to (continued on page 32)

steps all adult students can take to reduce their anxiety and make the most of the often exciting experience of going back to school. ¡ Start slow. Unlike more traditional college students, adults returning to school tend to have significant responsibilities, including families and careers. Juggling work and family is difficult on its own, but doing so along with college coursework is even harder. Adult students returning to school after a long layoff would be wise to take things slowly at first so they and their families can gradually adjust to their new schedules.

Many schools now offer online courses, which can be especially beneficial for working professionals. ¡ Have a plan. Many adults only return to school when they know exactly what they want to study or which courses they need to take to complete a degree or earn a certificate. If you have not already mapped out such a plan, do so before enrolling in any classes. The cost of a college education has no doubt increased considerably since you last stepped foot on campus, so you don't want to be signing up for costly classes that will not help you accomplish what you hope to accomplish by returning to school. ¡ Research your options. Just because you are an adult returning to school does not mean you are

ineligible for scholarships or other forms of financial aid. The United States Department of Labor maintains a scholarship search engine at www.careerinfonet.or g where students of all ages and academic levels can search for scholarships, grants and other financial aid opportunities to determine if they are eligible for some help paying for tuition. In addition, adults returning to school may want to discuss their plans with their employers, especially if they are looking to continue working in their current fields.

Employers may have programs in place to subsidize employees looking to continue their education. ¡ Don't be discouraged. Many adults mulling a return to school are hesitant to do so because they feel as if they will be the only older students in classrooms filled with millennials. However, the National Center for Education Statistics predicts a 14 percent increase in enrollment of students 25 and older between 2011 and 2021, suggesting that adults going back to school are unlikely to be the only graybeards in their classrooms.

Returning to college as an adult can be both exciting and overwhelming. But adults need not be nervous about returning to the classroom, even if it has been quite some time since they last stepped on a college campus.
