Guisewhite crowned 2017 4-H Fair Queen By Sarah Peters news@thepaperofwabash.com Mary Guisewhite, a recent graduate of Wabash High School, was named this year’s Wabash County 4-H Fair Queen during the Fair Queen Pageant Wednesday evening, July 12, at the Honeywell Center. “I feel so shocked! I wasn’t expecting it at all,” Guisewhite explained after getting the crown. “I feel so honored to have this opportunity.” A 10-year 4-H Fair member, Guisewhite plans to attend Indiana University Kokomo in the fall. Her fair projects include foods, floriculture, fine arts, consumer clothing, gift wrapping and microwave cooking. Joining her in the 2017 Queen’s Court will be First Runner-up Danielle Sparling, Second Runner-up Catherine Tracy, Third Runner-up Megan Baxter and Miss Congeniality Attie Schuler. Last year, Guisewhite served on the Queen’s Court after receiving the third runner up title. When she took the crown Wednesday, she told The Paper of Wabash County this was her third year participating in the pageant.

Several opponents to the Wabash River Trail have filed an appeal to the latest Indiana Department of Natural Resources permit for work on the trail in Lagro. On June 21, the DNR approved an After-the-Fact Construction in a Floodway permit for a new pedestrian bridge to be built over Lagro Creek. The Afterthe-Fact permit means some work has already taken place in the area prior to having received the permit. The opponents – Glenn and Sheila Butcher, William Gray, Lena Gray, Leon Stout, Clyde Rife and Jennifer Rife – filed the appeal on July 3. A prehearing conference with the complainants and representatives of the Wabash River Trail and the DNR has been scheduled for Thursday, July 27, at the DNR’s District 2 Conservation Headquarters in Columbia City. The complainants, in their appeal obtained from the Natural resources Commission’s Division of Hearings, contend that the ownership of the land for which the after-the-work permit was

issued is unclear. They also contend that WRT “has not demonstrated that the project will not constitute an unreasonable hazard to the safety of life or property.” They are asking the DNR to stay the permit until title work and surveys of the site are performed. According to the petition, the proposed bridge is “part of the tow path and aqueduct an the historical Kerr Lock … of the Wabash and Erie Canal.” “When the Wabash and Erie Canal ceased operations, the property was sold, given back to, or reverted back to the original/adjacent land owners,” the petition continues. “At one point in time, the Town of Lagro intended on extending its public right-ofway on Basin Street. This project was abandoned, and it is unclear as to what land, if any, the Town of Lagro or the Lagro Corp. actually acquired for this project. If the Town of Lagro wanted to extend the public right-of-way, they would have likely attempted to acquire an easement, not actual ownership. The intended WRT path that runs through the Town of Lagro runs through this disputed (continued on page 3)

River defenders gear up for annual ‘Clean Out the Banks’ By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Defenders are returning to the Wabash River on Saturday, July 29, to clear out debris at the annual Clean Out the Banks. The Wabash River Defenders, a nonprofit organization that aims to care for and maintain the county’s namesake river, met Thursday, July 13, to finalize the main event’s plans. So far, approximately 10 teams of volunteers have signed up to assist the clean up, but the organizing committee still encourages more to join, according to Michael Beauchamp, organization founder. “Our goal is to fill our 20-mile stretch of river with teams at access points that are equidis-

tant from each other,” Beauchamp said. Since the organization’s founding in 2011, the Defenders have removed more than 124 tons of debris and that includes 4,800 tires from the river, he continued. “Sometimes we pick up tires from tributaries, not necessarily the day of the (annual Clean Out the Banks) event,” Beauchamp told The Paper of Wabash County. “We have volunteers that go year around. Last year we worked on Matlock Cemetery, which is near a tributary, and we took 8 or 9 tons (of debris) out.” Typically, the organizing committee will survey the river for “hot spots” desperately in need of care, but so far this year, the (continued on page 4)

stroll across the Ford Theater stage. She thanked the crowd for attending to show support for this year’s queen candidates. “I’m sure I can speak for them all when I say it truly means a lot,” Michel said. “Just 12 short months ago I was standing on this very stage after a day full of interviews, modeling and nerves. I was patiently, or not-sopatiently waiting to hear the results.” Michel said fair week was filled with “hot days, frizzy hair and not enough sleep, and, yes, those were the only cons I could (continued on page 3)

Beauchamp honored for work with historical group By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The Wabash City Council recognized Michael Beauchamp Monday, July 10, for his years of service on the Wabash Historic Preservation Commission. Mayor Scott Long p r e s e n t e d Beauchamp, who retired from the organization this year, with a plaque commemorating one of the group’s original members. Beauchamp served the organization since its foundation more than a decade ago,

according to Susan Stewart, HPC chairman. “Didn’t know what we were doing did we?” Stewart asked Beauchamp rhetorically. “But through Cathy’s (DraegerWilliams, state archeologist) help and with (Indiana) Landmarks, we got through it and you hung in there when people didn’t like us very much downtown or what we were trying to do.” Serving the commission was a great privilege, Beauchamp said. “I think the commission was formed in 2005 and set up the

I’ve gained listening skills I will cherish forever, and for that I’m truly thankful. “I can now say confidently that I was chosen for this role because of my potential. I see that same potential in everyone of the contestants this year.” Michel also thanked her friends and family for their support along the way. Sparling, a Southwood High School graduate, is a 10-year 4-H member with plans to attend the University of Indianapolis in the fall.

...continued from the front page group has not been able to conduct one, according to Beauchamp. “We wanted to do a survey to figure out just where the hot spots are if there are any and the water has just been too high,” Beauchamp said. “We had a planned event today (July 13) to have two teams out there on the river to cover both the east side and the west side of Wabash, but the water’s just too high. “So we may not get a survey done before the event. We may go without a survey.” A recent series of rain showers have flooded various parts of Wabash County. However, even so, as long as the county stays mostly dry up until Saturday, the event will go on, according to Keith Poole, WRD committee member and liaison for the Wabash County district of the U.S. Army Corps

of Engineers. “I spoke to John Scheiber at the Corps and he said if we don’t get any major rain events, we should be good and the water should be decent around or the day of July 29,” Poole said. “They’re controlling (the rain water) through the reservoir so they’ve got it covered.” “So he said the word ‘if,’” Beauchamp added. “If we don’t continue daily rain, we’ll be ok. If it continues the way it has these past two weeks, we may have to cancel the event.” The back-up plan would be to host the event next year, he continued. Event or no event, the community should all pitch in to help take care of the Wabash River, according to several Defenders at Thursday’s meeting. “The history around Wabash revolves around the river,” member Zach Wenrich said. “It’s ours and then you think about the slogan ‘Everybody lives downstream’ and the stuff that we throw out here finds its way south, and … we’ve got to clean it up. It’s important.” “I also think it’s

important for our commerce around here just to bring in revenues,” committee member Jen Rankin added. “If we create an area that’s worth visiting, people will visit and that helps all of us out, not just the local businesses.” “It sets an example,” defender Barry Stroup added. “It sets a standard. We’re setting a standard here in Wabash for the state of Indiana.” Those wishing to join in and volunteer at the event are encouraged to bring the following equipment: • A canoe, boat, jon boat or raft to haul items while in the water. • A pickup truck, trailer or other vehicle to transport trash. • A vehicle at the team’s exit point to pick up participants. • Water or beverage of choice. • Energy bars or snacks to provide energy. • Shovels to dig up tires or other debris. • Trowel for cleaning mud from the inside of tires. • Construction tape to mark debris that cannot be hauled out by the team alone.

• Zip-lock bags or water protection for cell phones. A cell phone may be needed in case of emergency or to communicate with the committee. • A Personal Flotation Device (PFD) are required only for passengers in boats as per instructions by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. Teams and individuals are welcome to participate in Saturday’s clean up, according to Beauchamp. “If there are people from the community that want to participate and haven’t before, they can come right up the day of the event and we’ll assign them to an experienced team, no doubt,” Beauchamp said. “So if there’s a person who wants to join in, they ought to call Jen (Rankin) and they can get their questions answered, show up the day of the event and they’ll be good to go.” The event will kick off at 8 a.m. at the Paradise Spring Historical Park. For more information or to learn how to join, call Jen Rankin at 260-5039880.

Dr. Kathleen Bitzel joins Wabash Chiropractic Center By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

W a b a s h Chiropractic Center welcomed Dr. Kathleen Bitzel to its medical team June 29. Bitzel, a Roann native, completes the center’s three-man team following Dr. Ronald Frischman’s retirement earlier this year. Although she has never personally utilized the local facility’s services, Bitzel told The Paper of Wabash County that she became acquainted with Wabash Chiropractic and its team thanks in part to her family. “My family that came here and I went to school with Dr. (David) Frischman’s son,” Bitzel told The Paper of Wabash County. “I also had friends that came here. So while I never needed to use their services, even though I was in sports, I came to know (the company).” A 2009 Northfield High School graduate, Bitzel attended Indiana State

University to pursue a premedical degree. While she was interested in family practice, she found her calling in the medical field after attending a career fair. “I was premed at Indiana State and so I went to career fairs to meet people and outreach, and I ended up meeting a chiropractor there and she was a female doctor as well,” she said. “So I thought that was pretty neat. I’m obviously a small (doctor) and she was also a smaller doctor as well. “So I shadowed her for a while and I thought whole holistic view with helping people (through chiropractic care) was fantastic.” Following her graduation in 2013, Bitzel pursued chiropractic medicine at National University of Health Sciences, Frischman’s alma mater, and graduated in April 2017. Bitzel decided to return home to continue her career because of “family and I really like this community,” she said. “I know when I was in high school, I was

KATHLEEN BITZEL always involved in all sorts of different community activities and interested with how, since I’ve been back, much more they’ve actually outreached,” she added. “I just want to be a part of the community.” As a member of the local chiropractic center, in addition to traditional services, Bitzel said she is

interested in female health issues and keeping local women healthy “starting from pregnancy” to other issues. “I’m actually looking to get certified in Webster technique, (which) is basically for mothers that are having some back or pelvic dysfunction, not really moving as well and since hormones change when you’re pregnant, there’s always ligaments and musculature that changes,” she explained. “So (the technique) is just another way to help pregnancy.” Bitzel will receive her certification in November. “I also like pediatric and general public chiropractic care,” she continued. “I’m

all over the place. I want to be diverse in a lot of different aspects.” The Wabash Chiropractic Center is located at 508 N. Wabash St. in Wabash. Office hours are 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Monday and Thursday, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday and Friday. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 260563-8476.

Wabash Woollen Works to open downtown By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Wabash Woollen Works LLC, in partnership with the City of Wabash, will open a new textile arts project located at 414 S. Miami St., Wabash. Wabash Woollen Works is set to open to the public in late 2017 following a partnership between the City of Wabash Redevelopment Commission and the firm’s founder, Lisa Gilman. Gilman is a wellknown entrepreneur and real estate developer who is active in downtown Wabash

and has a background in the textile arts, previously owning and operating Frontier Fiber Mill in the Warsaw area until 2010. Wabash Woollen Works will manufacture luxury yarn, roving, felting, rug-making cord, and similar items on site, as well as operate retail and online outlets from the location in downtown Wabash. “We are a business that will be unique to the Wabash area and we will fill a void for lovers of the textile arts,” Gilman said. “We are the only mill of our kind in Indiana and we know that we

will have not only an economic impact on the community, but will draw visitors to check out all that Wabash has to offer.” The company also plans to offer educational classes where students of all ages can learn various aspects of the textile arts, such as spinning, weaving, knitting, and using natural dyes grown on site to color various fibers. Machine operation and maintenance could be another educational opportunity. The business is located on a portion of the former Brown Trucking site, which

the City of Wabash Redevelopment Commission acquired in late 2013 and subsequently performed a complete environmental remediation on the site. The building at 414 S. Miami St. is circa 1850s and constructed of local Wabash County limestone, and will be completely renovated for the project. “We are thrilled to be able to partner with Lisa Gilman and Wabash Woollen Works on the renovation of a historic building in downtown Wabash and the start of a great new business venture,” Wabash Mayor Scott A. Long said. “This is a perfect example of a public-private partnership coming together for the betterment of our community and to help us grow Wabash County.” Long told The Paper of Wabash County that Gilman purchased the building from the Wabash Redevelopment

AKRON The Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation board of trustees u n a n i m o u s l y approved Chad Cripe as the new principal of Tippecanoe Valley High School (TVHS) during a July 10 meeting. “There were many characteristics of TVHS that attracted me to the school and community. The two areas that stood out the most were the rich history of academic excellence and the family atmosphere of the community,” Cripe said. He comes to Tippecanoe Valley from Manchester

CHAD CRIPE Junior-Senior High School, where he served as assistant principal. During his time at Manchester, he was highly involved with professional learning communities and adding dual credit and Advanced Placement classes to the curricu-

lum. Cripe is also a certified school safety specialist. “He brings with him a solid high school background, the ability to establish strong individual relationships, a solid work ethic, high integrity and moral values, and the dedication necessary to bring out the best in students and staff,” Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation Superintendent Brett Boggs said. Prior to becoming an administrator, Cripe taught numerous high school social studies courses during 14 years as a classroom teacher and was a head varsity boys’ basketball coach at

East Noble High School and New Prairie High School. Cripe earned a bachelor’s degree in social studies education from Indiana University Purdue U n i v e r s i t y Indianapolis in 2002, followed by a master’s degree in educational administration and supervision from Ball State University in 2013. He is currently working on a doctorate degree in education administration and supervision from Ball State University that he plans to complete in the fall of 2019. “Chad has the personality, skills and abilities to be an outstanding high school principal. We are glad to have him join us as a member of the Tippecanoe Valley family,” Boggs said. Cripe replaces Dr. Michael Bendicsen, who served as TVHS principal for the past three years. Bendicsen submitted his resignation in May and will serve in an administrative role with Fort Wayne Community Schools. “I am looking forward to meeting new people, celebrating success and embracing the challenges

Petition requests vacation of 2 Wabash streets’ portions By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com A portion of South Comstock and Edsall streets may be vacated in future weeks if the Wabash City Council adopts an ordinance approving the vacation. PaperWorks petitioned the city Monday, July 10, to vacate portions of South Comstock Street and Edsall Street, also known as Factory Street, to increase warehouse capacity, according to Steve Downs, the attorney representing the Wabash-based company. PaperWorks, which is located at 455 Factory St. in Wabash, plans to construct a building loading dock in the area in addition to an approximate $2.8 million expansion for workspace, according to Chris Wetherford, the paper mill’s general manager. “I’ve been here a couple of times (at the council meeting) over the last year and a half talking about upgrades we’re making to the facility, which is not only a good thing for our business but a good thing for the community as well,” Wetherford told the council. “The last time I was here we were talking about upgrading the second

line in our paper mill to be able to compete with another market, to keep the mill viable and operation, to continue to produce and to continue to keep jobs for the people in Wabash. “One of the challenges we have is our warehouse capacity is maxed at about 3,400 tons inside the mill. … The challenge with that is we’re having to rent out facilities in H u n t i n g t o n , Indianapolis and Fort Wayne, Ind., to the tune of about $3.2 million a year. So it’s a serious negative hit to our bottom line, plus the logistics and the shipping aspect of it is a challenge.” The expansion will house approximately 46,000 square feet in addition to the property, he continued. “Between the additional space in that building and what we have in our building right now we’ll have about 10,000 tons of space,” Wetherford said. “So it’s good for the business and good for the town of Wabash no doubt.” While the streets would not be built upon, “we’re vacating the entire street down to Fishers Street, one, to take it off of (the city council’s) roads because then PaperWorks is going to start maintaining the street,” Downs explained, “and they have plans to put in a heavy-duty asphalt

there because they’ll be bringing a lot of trucks in on that portion.” The company is currently working with two landowners that would be affected with the street vacations, according to Downs. “There are two adjoining landowners with whom we have been dealing,” he explained. “One is FJR Investments LLC and that houses F.J. Rettigs ... and the other owner is the Association for Retarded Citizens of Wabash County Inc., which is also known as ARC, and they rent that property to Metal Works, which is Ben Gebhart’s operation. ... I spoke with Linda Johnson, who is the executive director down at ARC, and they have no objection nor does Mr. (Jay) Gillespie so long as we would buy an easement for both properties over the street.” While the association is currently known as Arc of Wabash County, the real estate’s deed is still titled under the former name. Gillespie attended the meeting to express his business’s needs if the city were to agree to the vacations, specifically that he would need to have an agreement to access the roadway to get to his company’s property. “We’ve been in busi-

He later added in supporting the company, “I might add that I like to see a Wabash manufacturing plant expanding. We need to see more of that.” At the meeting, Downs, on behalf of PaperWorks, requested the council approve the first reading of an ordinance that would allow for the public right-ofway to be vacated. “We will then finalize the location of the easement agreement with ARC and with Rettig’s between now and your next meeting in two weeks (on July 24),” Downs said, “and then we’ll return and ask the city council to consider adopting the ordinance on second reading in two weeks from tonight.” The council approved the ordinance’s first reading 6-0. Council member Mitch Figert was absent.

MCS board hires interim superintendent By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com NORTH MANCHESTER

— Interim Superintendent Mike Pettibone’s contract was

approved 7-0 at the July 11 meeting of the MCS Board of School Trustees.

Congand ratulations Good Luck to all 4’Hers!

The contract is officially for a daily pay rate of $423, for a total of 245 days, or a total of $103,635. It does not include benefits such as health insurance or retirement fund contributions. The board also unanimously approved a stipend for Business Manager Scott Bumgardner’s time as interim superintendent, for a total of $6,500. “This is something that we had discussed and agreed that, with Mr. Bumgardner taking

MIKE PETTIBONE on the superintendent duties, he would get a stipend for that time,” Board President Steve Flack said. Flack added that he calculated the stipend’s amount by multiplying the number of days Bumgardner served as interim superintendent by the daily rate paid to former superintendent Bill Reichhart. “I appreciate the extra workload [Bumgardner] picked up,” Brian Schilling, board member, said. I know if you had a vote, it wouldn’t have been that way. It had to fall on someone, and I appreciate your willingness to take that on.” Before the board voted on Bumgardner’s stipend, Brice Bedke, the board’s newest member, inquired as to whether Reichhart was still on the payroll, and where the money to pay his settlement comes from.

“Bill’s agreement with us is that we will pay him $55,000 a year for two years,” Flack said. “So basically, when we brought Mr. Pettibone on, we took the annuities, the health benefits, all the extras that Bill was getting and it was pretty much a wash. Mr. Pettibone is not getting all the annuities, benefits and extras that Dr. Reichhart did.” The district is actually saving money through Pettibone’s contract, according to Bumgardner. “Just so the community knows,” Bumgardner said, “with the settlement of Bill’s contract and the interim contract this year, we are net saving money by the benefits that are not being paid.” The board also approved textbook rental fees for the 2017-18 school year, a topic that generated much discussion among the board. M a n c h e s t e r Elementary School Principal Dr. Joe Rogers told the board that fees for MES are down from last year. “Mr. Bumgardner is helping us with consumables and Sue Gnagy helped us wipe off a textbook fee by creating science kits,” Rogers said. MES textbook fees will range from $101 for kindergarten and

$119 for second grade, the costs of which are down an average of more than $15. While the elementary school saw a d e c r e a s e , M a n c h e s t e r Intermediate School Principal Randy Self reported an increase for his school’s textbook fees. “However, we are cutting the list of things students need to bring,” Self said. “We’re providing everything except writing utensils and gym shoes.” A d d i t i o n a l l y, Gnagy’s science kits will replace textbooks at MIS as well. Average fees for MIS are slightly more than $200 for each grade with $100 of that cost going toward the Chromebook rental fee, according to Self. At Manchester Jr.Sr. High School costs will remain about the same as last year, according to Dr. Jon Lippe, MJSHS Principal. “We’re pretty similar from one year to the next,” he said. The fees presented to the board ranged from $187 for juniors to $257 for eighth graders, with some grades seeing a slight increase and others a slight decrease. Lippe said that the fees are estimated based on the average schedule for a student in that grade.

Openings ❈ MSD school board begins budget discussions ❈Available for By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

Budget discussions began at the MSD of Wabash County Board of Education meeting Tuesday evening, July 11. The board reviewed potential budgets for the Rainy Day Fund, Transportation Fund, Debt Services account and the School Pension Debt account for the 2018 school years. Chris Kuhn, MSD assistant superintendent of finance, presented drafts of the funds as follows: • The Rainy Day Fund: $730,000 • The Transportation Fund: $ 1,878,900 • The Debt Service: $2,740,094 • The School Pension Debt: $202,068 Kuhn advised the board that the Transportation Fund account’s figure will change before the budget is finalized

due to tax cap influences, which have not been released as of Tuesday. However, all the funds are subject to change until the budget is officially adopted, he added explaining that the figures are estimates of what the board may or may not need. “Filling out a budget is somewhat complicated because there are lots of factors that you don’t always know,” Kuhn said, later adding that “it all comes together.” Until the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance approves the school’s budget, the figures provided for each of the funds are estimated, or are considered a “proposed budget,” Kuhn stressed Tuesday. “Form 1 is one of the areas that we work on, which basically is budget estimates,” he said. “So these are estimated dollars of what we think we would need

to potentially spend for that fund. It’s been the administration’s, the board’s role to over estimate some of those funds for a couple different reasons. “One is to make sure that we’re maximizing the amount of monies that we need in some of those funds and it’s also to protect us because the amounts that we get from our funds are determined by our assessed values and we don’t know what our assessed values are going to be (when we adopt a budget).” School boards across the state “over estimate” budgets as just-in-case measures, he continued.

“If our assessed value comes back, let’s say, low, it could cause us to not get enough money that we need to actually operate that fund,” Kuhn explained. “So that’s why school corporations over estimate these numbers and then you see them have to reduce those appropriations at the end of the year or the beginning of the (new) year when they get those budget orders back.” Last year, the board proposed a $24,875,556 budget that the state department later cut by $2.4 million in February 2017. The board will continue its budget dis-

cussion on other accounts including the Capital Projects Fund and General Fund at its July 25 meeting.

MSD of Wabash County saved more than $500,000 during the last nine years thanks to a decision to take steps to become energy efficient at the corporation’s two high schools, according to Shana Lopez, Performance Services marketing administrator. On Tuesday, July 11, Lopez provided the MSD of Wabash County Board of Education with its 10 annual energy savings report. In 2007, the school corporation implemented a guaranteed energy savings contract project at Northfield and Southwood high schools. Since then, the corporation has cumulatively saved $509,333 in nine years, according to Lopez. The project replaced amenities in both high schools across 10 years with the goal of increasing

the facilities’ energy efficiency. The replaced items included classroom unit vents, boilers, hot water heater and control systems among other amenities, according to Lopez. To measure the changes, Performance Services scored the facilities with an Energy Star ranking. In 2007, Northfield received a 51 score while Southwood received an 81 rank. As of July 11, Northfield held a 93 Energy Star score while Southwood

received a 94. “That Energy Star score is basically like a grade and grades other buildings like yours,” Lopez said. “So when you put in those attributes it compares to other schools to your size in the Midwest and a score 94, which is Southwood I believe, is top 6 percent and Northfield is 93 so that’s top 7 (percent).” Chris Kuhn, MSD assistant superintendent of finance, thanked Lopez for the report. “Thank you for

helping us become more efficient with our energy usage,” Kuhn said. “As a board, we’re always concerned about maximizing dollars,” Kevin Bowman, MSD board president, added. “So it’s encouraging to know that even though our buildings may be older, they’re right at the top as far as efficiency.” In other news, the school board approved Adam Marlatt’s resignation from his position as S o u t h w o o d

Elementary sixth grade educator and announced that Marlatt would thereby also be resigning as the president of the MSD of Wabash County Education Association. The association “will elect new leadership,” Bowman said, adding, “Adam has done a lot (for the corporation). He’s coached volleyball at Southwood.” The board looks forward to working with the Marlatt’s successor, he continued.

Paradise Spring may receive new sign By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Paradise Spring Historical Park could have a new sign installed, thanks to the Paradise Spring Board. Board Secretary Deanna Unger appeared before the Wabash Park Board on Wednesday night, July 12, explaining to them what the Paradise Spring Board would like to see. The site, located southeast of the intersection of Allen and Market streets, was once the site of the Big Four Railroad yard and, outside of a

portion of the old roundhouse building, little is there to remind the public of that. The board, with the help of Kyle Coble, a former Wabash County resident who now lives in Fort Wayne, would like to create a sign to show the importance of the railroad in the history of Wabash. The sign would be bout 8-feet-long and 4feet-high and will match other signage in the park, Unger told the board. She and Park Superintendent Adam Hall have tentatively picked a site for the sign, to be located near the parking lot, should the Wabash

Park Board approve the plan. In addition, QR bar codes will be placed on the various signs around the park, about 17 in all, to better explain the history of the park. Because the park board lacked a quorum on Wednesday, it was unable to give Unger approval for the plan. Hall plans to check with board members via email to receive a consensus, allowing the Paradise Spring Board to move forward with its plans. The Park Board will vote on the matter when it meets in August. In the meantime, if the Paradise Spring

Board receives a consensus, it will move ahead with plans for a celebration on Sept. 1 at the park, marking pioneer days and the railroad’s history. Hall reminded the board members present that the city will not pay for the new sign, nor will it be responsible for its upkeep. Unger told the board that in 2013 the Paradise Spring Board received a sizeable educational endowment from the Melba Johnson Custer Trust. Those funds, she said, must be used for educational programming at Paradise Spring, and would be used to pay for the sign and its upkeep.

County considers managed printer service By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com The Wabash County Board of Commissioners voted Monday, July 17, to take a contract for managed printer services under advisement. Re presentatives from Perry ProTech presented a proposal at the commissioners’ April 10 meeting for a five-year lease on 56 printers, covering all parts and labor. The terms of the proposal were a lease of $667.69 per month, and printing costs of $.01 per black and white page and $.08 per color page. Two of the company’s representatives attended the July 17 meeting, announcing that three additional departments – County Clerk, County Recorder and Veterans’ Services – joined several other county departments on the contract with Perry ProTech. “Based on our readings,” Scott Shoda, of Perry ProTech, said, “as well as actual bills from the customers we have on Managed Print, replacing the printers and lowering the total cost of operation are going to save about $150-151 a month, about $1,800 a year, and about $9,000 over the term of a 60month lease.” “As we talked about before, standardizing the fleet of printers will make it easier on IT, as well as departments [being able to share] toner.” Shoda said that the company would offer a $50 credit on unused toner cartridges that the departments have in their inventory, up

to $600, and that the contract will provide 20 pieces of equipment for the three departments. Wabash County Clerk Elaine Martin said that her department would initially get six new printers through the contract. “I’m all for it,” Martin said. “In the long run, it will save us money. We’ll initially be replacing six of our printers with brand new ones. The oldest one in my office that we’ll be replacing is from 2005… it’s still going, but it may not be able to be fixed much longer.” County Auditor Marcie Shepherd raised a concern regarding when the contract would go into effect, saying that departments that did not budget for Perry ProTech’s services in

2017 could not begin until their 2018 fiscal year, if they budgeted for it. Martin asked whether they would have time for revisions before the upcoming budget deadline, which Shepherd said they would. Another concern was raised regarding ownership of the printer. Chairman Scott Givens asked what the buyout price would be at the end of the contract. “They won’t legally state it in [the contract] because they’re fair market value leases, and if they do that you lose that characteristic,” Shoda said. “I can tell you, historically, 10 percent of what you’d pay for the machine. “At the end of five years, if the new printer that’s out at that

point in time doesn’t bring financial benefit for them to switch to it, then you should totally consider buying… you’re talking, $70 or so.” The commissioners took the contract under advisement, with Givens noting that they would most likely move forward with it pending approval of departmental budgets. In other news, the commissioners meeting included a donation of $7,500 from the Roann Covered Bridge Association to cover the costs of weather sealing the Roann Covered Bridge, a hazardous materials plan update and the weekly jail report. The commissioners approved the hazardous materials plan, which classifies 29 facilities in the county

Miami Nation receives grant By The Paper staff INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Historical Society (IHS) proudly announces one of its largest Heritage Support Grants to date is being awarded to the Miami Nation of Indians of Indiana. The organization will receive $50,000 toward the final phase of its roof replacement project in Peru. The tribal complex is located in the former Peru High School, at 80 W. 6th St., which is listed on

the National Register of Historic Places. Other than one acre of land that remained in a Miami family’s ownership, the complex is the first property owned by the Tribe since its removal in the 1840s. Recently, the Tribe replaced a section of the roof, which was located above several former classrooms. The next step will be to replace the portion extending over the former gymnasium. The organization says the funding is a major step toward its longterm goal of creating a

public space featuring museum-quality displays with a collection of artifacts and documents dedicated to the Miami Nation of Indiana. “The Tribe is opening the first Native American-owned museum in the state,” said Keith Layman of the Miami Nation. “We

first needed to stabilize the roof, and generous financial support from foundations and institutions, including IHS and the Lilly Endowment, is making that goal a reality.” The Miami Nation is the first Miami County-based organization to receive one

of IHS’s Heritage Support Grants, made possible by a grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. Grant funds from the Endowment are allowing IHS to award a total of $2.5 million to organizations across Indiana, in at least five cycles through 2019.

The Roann Lions Club met on July 6 at the town hall in Roann. President Rick Morris welcomed everyone and led the members in the pledge to the American flag. Bonnie Corn read the minutes from the June meeting and treasurer Keith Ford gave the treasurer’s report. Pam Woodall gave an update on the recycling project. It is going very well and they hope to continue to get the great response. The collections of cans and public donations, as well as business donations in the community, are ongoing throughout the year. The fireworks will now be funded by these donations each year. Keith Ford reported that the Roann Covered Bridge has now been painted and looks great. We were thankful to get this done before the festival since we will be celebrating 100 years of festivals for Roann. Rick Morris reported a great turn out at the July 1 celebration held at the tractor pulling field in memory on Dan Schuler. The bleachers were full as well as many lawn chairs. The Lions Club sold 1,000 donuts and 300 hot dogs. Thanks to everyone who helped out that day. In old business it was reported that the new sign being painted for the State Road 15 & 16 intersection is in process of being painted and is to be completed and put up by Aug. 1. In other old business, it was discussed at the June meeting to replace the Roann Lions Club signs on each side of Roann on State Road 16. The

THE WEEKLY ISAAC-ISM: “I get asked often about what age should you start a child in the sport of tennis. Well, generally, it depends on the child. I use Andre Agassi as a role model for players mainly because of the person he has become through playing the sport of tennis. Agassi started at the age of 3 years old, but he is the exception rather than the rule. The average age for starting tennis on the professional tour is 6-years-old. But you don’t need to be holding a tennis racquet to learn the basic skills like coordination, mobility, and agility. Many other sports can contribute to being a tennis player. It’s tough for the parents and coaches who believe their child has potential, but the message of long-term development is patience. I promote the philosophy: to do our best to win we achieve an excellence that acts as a model for life.” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe enjoyable week!

Ball State to offer 2 new degrees From the BSU News Bureau Students soon could have two new degrees to consider with today’s approval by the Ball State University Board of Trustees — a bachelor of architecture and a master of social work. The degrees were created in response to a defined need and student demand, said Interim President Terry King, and are pending approval by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education. The five-year, 154credit-hour bachelor of architecture provides a professionally oriented undergraduate education resulting in an accredited professional degree, a necessary requirement for licensure, King said. What’s more, this bachelor of architecture degree program also provides a foundation for other career paths and educational pursuits and is an added option to

the existing BS/BA with a major in architecture “pre-professional” degree program, he said. The existing BS in environmental design degree program is offered through the College of Architecture and Planning. It serves as a complement to the college’s existing master of architecture program for graduate students. Phil Repp, interim dean of the College of Architecture and Planning, said the availability of a bachelor of architecture degree allows students to more quickly leverage a return on their educational investment, by positioning them to enter the workforce immediately upon completion of the five-year degree. The bachelor of architecture provides an alternative path to licensure with a minimum 15 percent (over $8,000) savings to the student. Taking into account the addition-

al year of employment, the bachelor of architecture provides at least $50,000 of additional economic value over the sixyear period. “Reducing the time spent and expense incurred by a student to enter his or her chosen profession is a constant focus at Ball State,” Board Chair Rick Hall said. “This improvement to an already outstanding college will benefit not only the students but also the Indiana economy, as graduates will enter the workplace more quickly and with less debt.” Continuing the development of the

new College of Health, the master of social work degree will offer students opportunities for rich i n t e r- p r o f e s s i o n a l education with nursing, speech pathology, public health, nutrition and kinesiology/exercise science. These hands-on experiences will actively prepare students for work on interdisciplinary teams and will provide them with leadership skills in managing complex patient cases. Employer demand for master’s-level graduates with social work experience has increased significantly, King said.

k c u L Good ’ers! 4-H 17919

The Ford Meter Box Company, Inc.

Nick Cole School: Manchester Parents: Bob & Dottie Cole and Erica & Kurt Snyder Future Plans: Become a Journeyman Electrician 4-H Club: Electric 4-H Projects: Electric 4-H Grows Service Learning: Through 4-H, Nick participated in numerous volunteer activities. Every year before the fair, he could be found at the fairgrounds helping his Grandpa (a 4-H volunteer and fair board member) with odd jobs. Jobs included cleaning up the fairgrounds, preparing the grounds and buildings for the fair, and deep cleaning the bathrooms. Through Nick’s work in the 4-H Electric Club, he helped younger club members learn to solder at his club meetings. “4-H taught me different things I can do to help others where their various needs are. There are little things you can do to help others; what may be insignificant to you, may be a blessing to them.” Nick believes it is important for youth to learn how to serve because it teaches them to be selfless and think of others first. “4-H also teaches you that you shouldn’t expect to gain from your work.” Through service activities in 4-H, Nick has learned that the reward you receive is the satisfaction in what you have done. “4-H has shown me that in life you may need to help others; it may not “be your job” or you may not be getting paid for that particular thing. Sometimes others need help, and I realize that sometimes their needs go before mine.”

Jacklyn Peas School: Northfield Parents: Mark & Pamela Peas Future Plans: Attend Trine University to study Business before becoming a Dog Trainer 4-H Club: Dog 4-H Projects: Dog, Swine 4-H Grows Service Learning: Through the 4-H Dog Club, Jacklyn had the opportunity to become involved in service learning throughout Wabash County. “I have a dog that I have trained for 10 years through 4-H. I take him to places like Wellbrooke to visit residents and am working to certify him to be a therapy dog.” As a group, 4-H members in the Dog Club also visit Vernon Manor. Sometimes the people you meet in 4-H also encourage you to become more involved in helping the community. For Jacklyn, one of those people is 4-H Volunteer Gary Henderson. Through 4-H connections with Gary, Jacklyn is now part of the Dog Park Board and Big Dawg, a group working to educate the community on drug and alcohol abuse and prevention. Through her involvement with Big Dawg, Jacklyn also worked to create a video with the Colts for prescription drug abuse awareness. In 4H, Jacklyn has learned life skils and about her future interests. “4-H has helped me grow the life skills of time management, teamwork, organization and has even given me confidence to go out and talk with people. In the future, I hope to continue working with dogs. I am currently interning with Vohne Lich Kennels to train police and military dogs.”

Alexis Wagoner School: Manchester Parents: Mark & Julie Wagoner Future Plans: Major in Business Communications at the University of Indianapolis 4-H Club: Laketon Cloverleaves 4-H Projects: Beef, Gift Wrapping, Photography, Poultry, Swine 4-H Grows Service Learning: Alexis has participated in service learning activities like Christmas Caroling for residents at Timbercrest, working in the soup kitchen, collecting pop tabs for Riley Hospital, and help with set-up and tear-down for the 4-H fair. As a family, the Wagoners also work to educate others in the community about 4-H and agriculture. They have helped give educational tours to youngsters at the fair. Alexis has helped four of her friends enroll in 4-H, learn about livestock, and exhibit them at the fair. Alexis believes, “It is important to lend a hand. You never know when you’ll need help, so it is always good to give.” When setting up for the 4-H Fair, Alexis enjoyed watching the community come together to get things done on time and learned that in order to make things flow more smoothly “every hand counts”. Alexis recalled an experience during the 2016 4-H Fair when one of the 4-Her’s poultry got loose. “Even though we compete at the fair, we all came together to help that member catch their bird after chasing it thoughout the neighborhood.” Alexis enjoys opportunities to serve others, help those in need and will 100 % continue to volunteer in the future.

NewSong to tour through Wabash By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

NewSong tours through Wabash Saturday, July 29, to rock the Honeywell Center Ford Theater stage. A contemporary Christian music group, NewSong formed in 1981 at Morningside Baptist Church in Valdosta, Ga., and has since toured the nation bringing fans old favorites as well as new hits, according to Russ Lee, lead vocalist. Since the band’s formation, the group’s musicians have came and went, but the heart and purpose behind NewSong has remained the same, Lee told The Paper of Wabash County. “The original guys were all very active in what was popular music at the time and they were fans of music,” he said, “and they were not only very involved with church but also guys that had grown up listening to music and having that love for music. So their music was very influenced by what was popular in the day. “Obviously our music is for the most part popular music. We like new sounds and we’re like anybody else. We’re fans of great music and when we write music, obviously the things that we listen to influence the things that we do and that’s the truth with everyone. So over the years, NewSong has just developed and grown with the times really.” Lee added that he believes the secret to the band’s success over time, other than God’s blessing, is “they’ve been very relevant and relative to the day.” “As times have changed, NewSong’s music has grown and changed and shaped and reshaped,” he added, “and I think it’s kept NewSong relevant.” With more than three decades worth of songs in its repertoire, the band makes sure to “give a mixture of everything” at each concert, according to Lee. “For bands that have a history like NewSong, there aren’t a lot of Christian bands that still do what we do in our genre, but if you hear someone who started in 1981 who had hit songs, you want to hear some of those songs,” he said.

NewSong, a contemporary Christian music group, will be touring through Wabash on Saturday, July 29.

do, more than anything we want people to be encouraged and hear the hope in our hearts that we found by being followers of Christ and being Christian ... and that it’s amazing freedom and hope despite your circumstances. It’s purposeful and it’s bigger than us. “There’s so many great things about being Christian and we really try to convey that in our music. Our songs are just a threeminute, four-minute opportunity for us to encourage you and to tell you about the joy and the hope that we found.” To those interested in attending the con-

cert, Lee said he’d like to request one thing. “Don’t just come to the concert. Bring some one that needs to be encouraged,” he said. “Bring somebody with you that needs something in their life that will be like a spiritual shot of B12. Bring somebody that needs to get away from the realities of their life. … Don’t just come. Bring someone with you. “Here’s our goal,” he added, “that you’ll both have a much better time than you ever thought possible and that you’ll leave really encourage. That’s really our goal.

Ernie Haase and the Signature Sound returns to Wabash By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Ernie Haase and the Signature Sound returns to Wabash on Saturday, July 22, and will be bringing back gospel classics as well as new material. The Christian quartet has toured the globe, but always looks forward to coming back to the Honeywell Center Ford Theater, Ernie Haase, the group’s namesake, told The Paper of Wabash County. “It’s one of our most favorite places in the world,” Haase said. “We’ve traveled the world many, many times singing together these last 15 years and we have filmed long format videos at the Honeywell Center. So when I go across the world and promote our material, I always say from Wabash, Ind., the beautiful Honeywell Center. “So it’s been a love affair with our group and the Honeywell Center and the people in that area. We’ve been here many times and taken advantage of that fine place to record videos for mass production.” Haase, the group’s tenor, has been performing for nearly 30 years and founded the quartet in 2003 with southern gospel roots. “I think that (southern gospel music) was exactly what I heard when I was 15(-yearsold) and you fall in love with what first brought you to the table,” he said. “So it was southern gospel quartet singing (for me).

Ernie Haase and the Signature Sound brings southern gospel back to Wabash when the group returns Saturday, July 29.

On Saturday, the group will debut some new songs along with the “classic old spirituals” and the quartet’s original soundtracks, according to Haase. “Thankfully the audience still wants to hear the tried and true hits of Signature Sound,” he said. “So we’re still going to give them what they want which is ‘Oh What a Savior,’ ‘Get Away, Jordan,’ so they

want the big ballads, they want the high energy choreography.” The new material will be a special treat specifically for the Honeywell audience, he continued. “We’ve been coming to Wabash area … a lot of times to sing and in all of these years, I’ve never recorded a hymns record,” Haase said. “So we did that last year and so not only will be singing the tried and true, but we also have a brand new hymns project that are the classic hymns of the late Fanny Crosby.” The concert will offer great tunes and a good time, he continued. “Signature sound has always put on a show and we’ve very entertaining,” Haase said, “but I’ve got to tell you my biggest self-pitch would that God is doing great work within our group and when peo-

ple leave, the emails that I’m getting are ‘I feel like I’ve been touched by a heavenly breeze.’ “So I would encourage everybody to if you want to come and have fun, that’s Signature Sound, but if you want a taste of heaven and you want to leave feeling better than you did when you came in, then that’s what’s been happening at our concerts and for that we can’t take any of the credit.” The performance will begin at 7:30 p.m. Those interested in purchasing tickets for $25 and $40 may call the Honeywell Center Box Office at 260-5631102 or visit honeywellcenter.org.

Why mosquitoes should not be eliminated From the Purdue University News Bureau

WEST LAFAYETTE — A Purdue researcher and a team of scientists working on a new insecticide argue that mosquitoes should not simply be made extinct due to their role in various ecosystems. Catherine Hill, a professor of entomology, and her team are developing an insecticide that will suppress mosquitoes’ ability to transmit diseases without killing the insect or interfering with other life forms. The team is based in Discovery Park, a research park dedicated to using interdisciplinary teams to solve global problems. Hill’s research was one of the winners of Discovery Park’s Big

Idea Challenge, a program that provides resources to interdisciplinary teams with innovative research. “For the last 20 years I’ve been trying to figure out how to kill mosquitoes, and then I had this epiphany where, morally, I’m just not OK with it anymore,” she said. There has been a lack of research in preserving mosquitoes because researchers have looked mostly at ways to eradicate them. Therefore, Hill thinks it is essential to consider all the possible effects of wiping out an organism that has existed for thousands of years. She points out that mosquitoes have co-evolved with many species, so there are likely other organisms that depend on them as a food source.

Along with her nonlethal pesticide research, Hill also participates in research to create insecticides that overpower a crucial chemical for locomotion behavior, development learning and memory known as dopamine. This eventually results in the death of the insect. Although this method is often effective in killing mosquitoes, Hill decided to produce an insecticide that would affect the biology of the mosquito so that it would be unable to transmit to another host, thus sparing the insect’s life. During her years of research, Hill says she began to find mosquitoes to be amazing and beautiful organisms, and began to better understand that their removal could have an effect on the environ-

ment. She points out that mosquitoes are “a large part of the biomass in many ecosystems.” While mosquitoes are in their aquatic stage, they serve as a food source for fish and predatory insects. During this stage, mosquitoes also serve as filter feeders, which results in organic matter being turned over, making them excellent converters in an ecosystem. In their terrestrial stage, mosquitoes serve as food for birds, bats, salamanders, lizards, frogs and other animals. According to Hill, there are particularly massive numbers of mosquitoes in Alaska and near the Arctic Circle, and it could potentially be dangerous to take away mosquitoes from that food chain.

“To yank [mosquitoes] out abruptly, I don’t know what that does,” Hill says. According to Hill, there are several thousand species of mosquitoes worldwide, with only a small percentage of those species carrying diseases. Researchers know very little about the species that do not transmit disease, so this leaves a lot of unanswered questions concerning what would happen if mosquitoes were wiped out. “You pull one little piece and start to unravel it, and things happen,” says Hill. An interesting fact about mosquitoes that Hill discovered is that “they sing to each other.” The wings of mosquitoes beat at varying frequencies, and it is thought that

female mosquitoes use the frequency of the male’s wings to choose a mate. Once the male and female locate one another, their frequencies harmonize. Although Hill wants to find an insecticide that can spare the life of the insect, she says that research is still

being done to improve the effectiveness of insect-lethal insecticides. Due to the increasing threat of vector-borne diseases, a conventional pesticide would need to be administered if the research for a nonlethal pesticide proves unsuccessful.

Social Security Administration expands online services By The Paper staff The Social Security Administration introduced the expansion of online services for residents of Indiana available through its “my Social Security” portal at www.socialsecurity.go v/myaccount. Nancy A. Berryhill, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, announced that residents of Indiana can use the portal for many replacement Social Security number (SSN) card requests. This will allow people to replace their SSN card from the comfort of their home or office, without the need to travel to a Social Security office. “I’m pleased to offer the residents of Indiana the added convenience of replacing a Social Security card through the “my Social Security portal,” Acting Commissioner Berryhill said. “We will continue to work on innovative initiatives to provide people with safe, secure and convenient options for doing business with us online or in person.” The agency is conducting a gradual roll out of this service; Indiana is one of the states, plus the District of Columbia, where this option is available. Throughout 2017, the agency will continue to expand

the service option to other states. This service will mean shorter wait times for the public in the more than 1,200 Social Security offices across the country and allows staff more time to work with customers who have extensive service needs. U.S. citizens age 18 or older and who are residents of Indiana can request a replacement SSN card online by creating a “my Social Security” account. In addition, they must have a U.S. domestic mailing address, not require a change to their record (such as a name change), and have a valid driver’s license, or state identification card in some partici-

pating states. “My Social Security” is a secure online hub for doing business with Social Security, and more than 31 million people have created an account. In addition to Indiana residents replacing their SSN card through the portal, current Social Security beneficiaries can manage their account—change an address, adjust direct deposit, obtain a benefit verification letter, or request a replacement SSA-1099. Medicare beneficiaries can request a r e p l a c e m e n t Medicare card without waiting for a replacement form in the mail. Account holders still in the workforce can verify

The defined benefit has money from the State of Indiana, as well as the teachers’ contributions to make up the difference. At present, a change of choice may be made within five years. As the bill in the legislature stands now there will be no chance to change the choice once it is made.

ACRES obtains 107 acres along Wabash River By The Paper staff HUNTINGTON — ACRES Land Trust and the Our Lady of Victory Missionary Sisters announced they have closed on the sale of 107 acres of prairie and forest at the Motherhouse in Huntington, forever preserving the land from development. The closing took place June 6. The land, which will be known as Victory Noll Acres, features oaks, maples and sycamores, as well as steep ravines and rolling prairie areas. The property is on the top of a bluff

overlooking the Wabash River valley, with the edge of the bluff forming the original bank of the river, first carved out by the rushing waters of a melting glacier. ACRES Land Trust Executive Director Jason Kissel said the acquisition is especially significant because of other preserves in the area along the river. It is hoped that eventually, the separate preserves will be connected to protect the area’s unique ecology. “This land has significance on its own, so if it never connects to other preserves in

the area, that’s OK, but we believe it’s a piece of the puzzle toward protecting the entire ancient river bank,” Kissel said. “This land has been very significant to the Victory Noll Sisters since 1925, when they moved into their motherhouse, Victory Noll,” said Sr. Ginger Downey, the Victory Noll sisters’ general secretary. “Over the years this land has been a place of recreation and enjoyment, as well as solace and prayer, not only for the sisters but for many other who have come to visit.” Kissel said it was

Kosciusko County roadwork scheduled By The Paper staff The Indiana Department of Transportation announces that two small structure replacements are scheduled for S.R. 14 in Kosciusko County. S.R. 14 is expected to close on or after Wednesday, July 19, weather permitting. The closure is

scheduled to take place over Crazy Creek, 2.4 miles east of S.R. 13, and Crazy Creek overflow, 2.67 miles east of S.R. 13. Both closures are located between C.R. S 700 E and C.R. S 950 W in Kosciusko County. Access to homes and businesses will be maintained throughout the work. The offi-

cial state detour for the closure will be S.R. 13 to U.S. 30 to S.R. 5. The road may be closed up to 70 calendar days during the work. Work on the structures is expected to be complete by late October, weather permitting. The contract was awarded to RiethRiley Construction Co. for $1 million.

especially gratifying to work with the Victory Noll Sisters because both groups’ goals and beliefs overlap so well when it comes to the environment. “A lot of people have a hard time articulating why they want to preserve land. We’ve never worked with an organization that has been so specific that they were able to hand us a document where they’ve written down why they care for the land,” Kissel said. “When we shared with them ACRES’ views, they matched almost perfectly aside from some wording. So this is a way for them to continue the ministry of the land, even without a religious organization owning it.” The Victory Noll Sisters’ land ethic states that, “We cherish this land as a

sacrament of God’s love for us.” ACRES values “the intrinsic and diverse benefits of natural places and the life they sustain.” “Victory Noll Acres, which is what the new parcel will be called blends the two entities in a way that honors both and illustrates both of our commitments to providing green space for generations to come where all can experience nature, wildlife and the blessings of God,” Downey said. Kissel said the purchase is a perfect example of how ACRES Land Trust helps people meet their objectives. “ACRES is a way for them to realize their dreams for the land,” Kissel said. “Whether it’s Catholic sisters who own the land or a member who donates $25, none of us can permanently protect land on our own, but it’s possible with ACRES.”

Trade winds are blowing in baseball By Bill Barrows

The Major League All-Star Break has passed. There are less than three weeks left before the Aug. 1 trade deadline. There are many more buyers than sellers at this juncture, because with the two wildcard spots in each league, there are more opportunities to be competitive for the upcoming playoff run. So, teams will be jockeying for position by trying to strengthen their roster of players. The first measure of who continues to be a buyer and who becomes a seller has already started as general managers evaluate whether their team is trending upward or downward. Some teams have already pushed the reset button. The Chicago White Sox did so last winter by making a number of moves that harvested young talent that they can develop along with some that they already had to create a competitive team in the near future. The Houston Astros, Atlanta Braves and

Philadelphia Phillies are examples of teams that have done it in the recent past. Houston has become a powerhouse and currently has the best record in baseball. The New York Mets did likewise, but after reaching the World Series two falls ago, they have been plagued with injuries largely to their top notch, young pitching staff. That leads us to the two teams in Chicago. The Sox are in the midst of possibly bottoming out and trading veterans with value for even more prospects. The Cubs bottomed out largely in the ‘50s, ‘60s, early and mid ‘70s, early ‘80s (well, you get the idea). Called loveable losers for most of a century, the Cubs finally dismantled what little they had starting in 2012 at the hands of Theo Epstein, who left Boston after winning two World Series trophies, the first in 2004, marking the first time the Red Sox had won it since 1918. His plan was to “build a foundation for sustained

BILL BARROWS success.” By 2014, they showed signs of actual success. Joe Maddon came on to start the following campaign and last year won their first World Series since 1908. The experts think that the Cubs are ahead of schedule and could become a dynasty. Hold that thought. As of this writing, they are five games behind the upstart Milwaukee Brewers, tied with St. Louis for second place. Their starting pitchers are atrocious after being one of their strengths last season. Well, Epstein and White Sox GM Rick Hahn fired the first shots in the exchange of talent race during the break

as the Sox sent coveted lefty, Jose Quintana to the Cubs for the No.5 prospect in baseball, Eloy Jiminez, a 20 year old outfielder and three others. Will this be a domino effect throughout baseball? That is anybody’s guess, but the next three weeks will be interesting. Contenders who have built their existing teams in various ways will join in the trade talks. Behind the scenes, I‘m guessing that some of this positioning has been going on for weeks. Boston is shopping for a 3rd baseman. The Y a n k e e s , Diamondbacks, Nationals, Brewers Twins, and Cardinals are looking for pitching, whether it is starting or relief. Teams like Baltimore, Toronto, Kansas City, Colorado and Pittsburgh are looking for depth. Some of those teams will fall further behind and

become sellers by the end of the month. Teams like the White Sox will continue to collect prospects for the future. This process happens every year and there are always surprises that this team or that team becomes a contender or another team falls completely apart. But one trend has taken over all major pro sports teams. They are all copycat leagues and what works for one team, becomes the mission of several others. For my buddy Joe Slacian, the biggest Sox fan that I know, I hope this happens to the Sox and they become perennial contenders. But will he be able to swallow the fact that the hated Cubs were one of the first to start this trend. Maybe a Cubs/White Sox cross-town World Series is in our future? Only time will tell.

State has 2 confirmed cases of Heartland virus From the ISDH INDIANAPOLIS — State health officials announced today that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has confirmed two cases of Heartland virus infection in Indiana over the last two years. Both patients were residents of southern Indiana and survived their infections. Heartland virus is a recently discovered virus that is thought to be transmitted by ticks. The most common signs and symptoms are fever with flulike symptoms and decreases in blood cells that are important in blood clotting and fighting infection. Only a small number of Heartland virus cases

have been detected nationally, with others reported in Missouri, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Arkansas. Most cases have required hospitalization. “Tick bites can cause serious illness and even death, and the discovery of Heartland virus gives Hoosiers another important reason to take precautions,” said State Health Commissioner Jerome Adams, M.D., M.P.H. “If you become ill after spending time outdoors, visit your health care provider immediately — especially if you found an attached tick. Prompt diagnosis of tick-borne illness helps prevent complications.” Ticks are found throughout Indiana in grassy and wooded

areas. They tend to be most active during the late spring and early summer. Other tickborne diseases found in Indiana include Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. In 2016, Indiana reported more than 200 cases of tick-borne illness. “It’s really important to avoid tick bites and conduct thorough tick checks during and after your time outdoors — even if you’re in your own backyard,” said Jennifer Brown, DVM, MPH, state public health veterinarian. “This will prevent not only Heartland virus, but also other tick-borne diseases.” Hoosiers can reduce their risk of tick bites

by: — Avoiding direct contact with ticks by staying away from wooded and brushy areas and walking in the center of trails — Using EPA-registered insect repellents with active ingredients such as DEET, picaridin, IR3535, or oil of lemon eucalyptus — Applying products containing 0.5 percent permethrin to clothing and gear, such as boots, pants, socks, and tents After outdoor activities, people should conduct full-body tick checks using a handheld or full-length mirror. Children should be assisted when performing tick checks. Showering or bathing can help remove any unattached ticks. Pets, coats, and day packs

Reins and Rainbows plan benefit By The Paper staff Reins and Rainbows will host a Blue Jean Ball and Barn Party to raise funds to assist abused and neglected children. The event will be

from 5-10 p.m. Saturday, July 22, at the equine assisted therapy center, 1132 E 250 S, Wabash. A pulled pork buffet dinner is planned, and there also will be country line dancing.

Corn hole and a silent auction and raffle also are planned Tickets are on sale at w w w. r e i n s a n d r a i n bows.net, or at the door the evening of the event. Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for

DNR seeks help to monitor wild turkeys By The Paper staff The DNR is asking for help from the public to monitor summer production of wild turkeys. Volunteers will use a web-based survey to record wild turkey sightings during July and August to help provide information about annual turkey reproduction. This online system allows

for broader coverage across the state and greater participation from the public. The surveys provide useful estimates about annual production by hens and the survival of poults (young turkeys) through the summer brood-rearing period. Summer brood survival is generally the primary factor influencing wild turkey

population trends. Information on summer brood survival is essential for sound turkey management. Information gathered through the brood survey includes: — Average brood sizes (total number of hens and total number of poults). — Percentage of adult hens with

poults. — Percentage of hens without poults. Participants will be asked to report: — Number of hens and poults seen and the county the observation was made. — Adult hens without young. The survey, and additional information, is at wildlife.IN.gov/864 1.htm.

Wabash team takes state title: Wabash Senior League All Star team won the Senior League

State Championships on Monday, July 17, with a 4-2 win over Eagledale of Indianapolis. The team posed for a photo with the title banner following their win. Leading up to the championship, the Wabash team beat Cleveland Township in the semi-finals on July 16 and defeated Greenwood 10-0 on July 14 to make it to the final four round. The team will head to Peru, Ill., on Saturday, July 22, to play in the Central Region Tournament. The Wabash team will face off against Missouri on July 22 at 2:30 p.m. and will play against Iowa at 2 p.m. on Sunday, July 23. Photo by Bill Barrows

should also be checked for unattached ticks. Tumbling dry clothes in a dryer on high heat for 20 minutes will kill unattached ticks on clothing. Attached ticks may be safely removed by using tweezers to grasp the tick close to the skin and then pulling outward with steady and even pressure. After the tick is removed, the area should be washed thoroughly. The tick should be discarded by submerging it in alcohol, placing it in a sealed bag or container, wrapping it tightly in tape or flushing it down the toilet. Ticks should never be crushed with the fingernails.

Good Luck to ALL 4-H’ers!
