City OKs sewage, stormwater rate hikes

Nearly 23,000 registered to vote in election

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Increases in the sewage and stormwater rates were approved on first reading Tuesday night, Oct. 11, by the Wabash City Council.

The three-phase sewage rate increase, the first since 2010, will range from $2.13 in 2017 to $2.37 in 2019, based on residential use of 5,000 gallons per month. The increase is 5.6 percent annually for the three-year period, or 16.8 percent over the three years.

The stormwater rate increase is 5 percent, and would be reflected by a 20-cent increase in residential rates.

Increases for non-residential sites depends on the facility’s size. For example, a structure 50,000 square feet or less would rise from the current $16.32 per month to $17.14 per month.

The sewer rate increase is needed to provide funding for additions, extensions and replacements to, and proper maintenance of the sewage works.

Likewise, the stormwater (continued on page 21)

Ideal weather draws record crowd to 14th Chili Cook-off

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Tickets nearly sold out at Wabash Cannonball’s Chili for Charity Chili Cook-Off Saturday, Oct. 15, with more than 5,000 guests in attendance,.

With 85 teams registered to serve on Saturday, the Chili for Charity committee prepared 5,000 voting ticket packages and was less than 100 away from selling out when 2:30 p.m. hit.

“We stopped selling at 2:30 p.m. but continued to take dona-

tions until 3 p.m.,” Committee member Steve Weir said. “Out of 5,000 voting strips, we had less than 100 left so we easily had over 5,000 chili tasters.”

With ticket prices set at $5, the event raised at least $24,500, not (continued on page 33)

Voter registration closed Tuesday, Oct. 11, and more than 22,700 Wabash County residents will be eligible to vote this Election Day, Nov 8, according to Theresa Ehret, Wabash County deputy clerk.

“It picked up a lot,” Ehret told The Paper of Wabash County.

“This weekend (Oct 8-9) through (Thursday, Oct. 13) I have processed 454 registrations.

That was between the BMV, online registrations and mailins.

“Right now we have a total of 22,724 on the roster right now with another 419 pending and in those pending are address updates and new registrations.”

Registrations are up compared to 2012’s General Election count of 22,501, according to the Wabash County Clerk’s Office records. (continued on page 21)

Increase in mycotoxins seen in local corn crop

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The majority of Wabash County’s corn farmers are reporting elevated levels of mycotoxins in their crops and it could mean trouble if not handled properly, according to Curt Campbell, Wabash County

Purdue Extension educator.

Mycotoxins are natural chemicals that are associated with ear rot and can be harmful for humans and animals to ingest, according to cornmycotoxns.com, Purdue University’s research website.

Farmers across the state report mycotoxins annually

and, therefore, it is common to see low levels of the toxins throughout the agricultural community, according Charles Woloshuk, a botany and plant pathology professor at Purdue University whose research specializes in mycotoxins associated with grain production.

However, in Wabash County, (continued on page 31)

Computer and Electronic Repair Technician LLC is now open for business after owner/operator Joey Trudeau cut the ceremonious red rib-

bon to mark the store’s grand opening on Friday, Oct. 7.

From computers and laptops to antique electronics “all the way back to vacuum tubes,” arcade machines, game consoles, cellphones and tablets, Trudeau is a

jack-of-all-trades when it comes to repairs.

“If you can plug it in and turn it on, chances are I can fix it,” Trudeau told The Paper of Wabash County.

A Peru native, Trudeau decided to

open his repair business for his three children and provide for them “better than what I had growing up.”

As for the reason he decided to offer a wide array of repair services, Trudeau said, “Because I can.”

“I got bored with computers so I started to go off with other things and dabble,” he continued. “I know all the math behind electricity and then you’ve got mother boards … and then I expanded onto arcade machines and the old arcade machines had the old CRT-style television glass tubes, so I had to learn how to fix those because you can’t buy them any more.

“So I just put my mind to it and did it.”

Trudeau said he’s hoping to bring a new service to Wabash.

“I want to be able to give people the opportunity to get their stuff fixed instead of throwing it away,” he said. “People spend so much money on electronics and when it quits working they just throw it away and go spend more money. … I want give people an option. I want to

help people save money.

“I’m not doing this to get rich. … As long as I can keep the doors open, I will continue to help people.”

Pork Our Famous

Cutlets

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

It took several minutes of debate among the members of the Wabash City Council on Tuesday night, Oct. 11, but the City of Wabash now has times set for Trick or Treat.

The debate was needed after Mayor Scott Long broached having Trick or Treat on Saturday, Oct. 29.

“Typically the city has conducted trickor-treating on Halloween night,” he told the council. “I’ve had some feedback already on this.

Downtown Wabash will have trick-ortreating on Saturday, the 29th. The 31st is on a Monday, so if we want to make the teachers and parents mad by getting the kids all jacked up on chocolate and then sending them to school the next morning…”

However, Council member Mitch Figert said that Trick or Treat should be on Halloween night.

He said he participated in the downtown Halloween celebration last year.

“It was incredible what we had down-

town,” he said. “My fear is we spent the whole three hours down here with the kids, it doesn’t give time to go out in the neighborhoods.

“Because the city always has Trick or Treated on the 31st, there are some churches around town that have scheduled events on the 31st to coincide with the city’s trick-or-treating.

I think it’s going to hurt the residential neighborhoods.

I think the downtown will hurt that.”

Council member Bob Greene, who has a downtown business, said, “It makes more sense for children.”

Council member Doug Adams said Trick or Treat is a big event in his neighborhood, and it is usually o n Oct. 31.

Figert also recalled one year when H a l l owe e n fell on a Sunday. “ I t showed there w a s

some consistency with that,” Figert said.

In the end, the council voted 7-0 to have Trick or Treat hours from 5-8 p.m. on Oct. 31.

Elsewhere in Wabash County: — North Manchester will have Trick or Treat hours from 5-8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 31.

— Town of Roann will have Trick or Treat hours from 5-8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 31.

— The LaFontaine Lions Club will host the annual Halloween party from 5-8 p.m.

Monday, Oct. 31.

— The Wabash Elks Lodge, 225 W. Main St., will host its annual

children’s Halloween party from 5-7 p.m.

Monday, Oct. 31. Eight bicycles – four girls’ and four boys’ – will be given away. There also will be free food and games for the youngsters. The Lodge will host an adult Halloween party from 8 p.m. to midnight Saturday, Oct. 29. The band, The Time Travelers, will perform.

— A trunk or treat event is planned at the Lagro Park from 5-8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29.

— Autumn Ridge, 600 Washington St., will have a trunk or treat from 6-7:30 p.m.

Friday, Oct. 28.

— A

Haunted Barn will take place from 7-11 p.m. every Friday and Saturday in October at the Wabash County 4H Fairgrounds.

The Foundation has had a tremendous impact on the community and the region, he said.

“There’s one clear reason that the Foundation has had the impact that it’s had, and that impact that it’s had is the result of all sorts of people who have frequented the Foundation and have been involved in

activities.

“They have supported it in all sorts of ways. You have invested in the Foundation, and that has made a big, big difference in having the impact that we have had today.”

Foundation CEO Tod Minnich also welcomed the guests and then discussed the history of the organization and plans for the celebration.

Rotary presents check for UF campaign

For the 25th consecutive year, the Wabash Rotary Club hosted a benefit golf outing to kick-off Wabash County United Fund’s annual fundraising campaign.

Eighteen teams of golfers participated in this year’s outing.

Accepting the check on behalf of the United Fund was Steve Johnson, Executive Director.

“United Fund is extremely grateful for these 25 years of Wabash Rotary Club support,” Johnson said. “It is such a great way to kick off the annual campaign.”

Rotary members Dave Dorais, Brad Farlow, Kelly Gretschmann and Mark Frantz worked closely with Johnson during the planning and execution of the event.

“This is a project that is very important for me. We always find such strong support for the outing from Rotary Club members and others in the community,” said Dave Dorais, committee chair for the outing. “The committee works well together and has a great time working together for a good cause in our community.”

YOUR WEEKLY ISAAC-ISM: “I try to use sports, in particular the sport of tennis, to help teach life lessons to our youth.

The ancient and respectable game of tennis takes only a few minutes to learn, but a life time to master.

Perhaps this helps explain my undying fascination with the sport. The true tennis fan, while never achieving the perfect match, secretly hopes for the day when each and every shot is a winner. Of course that day never comes, but the tennis lover keeps coming back, just in case.

Just like in life, we keep coming back just in case.”

EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe and enjoyable week!

Jake Brakes to be banned in Manchester

By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com

NORTH MANCHESTER — Truck drivers going through North Manchester may not be allowed to use Jake Brakes, also known as engine compression brakes, after December’s Town Council meeting.

At its October meeting, the North Manchester Town Council approved the first reading of an ordinance regarding the restriction of such equipment within town limits.

“Lots of other towns have an ordinance like this,” Council member Thomas Dale said.

“It’s something we need to do for livability in our town.”

Referencing his experience as a truck driver, Dale said he felt the ordinance would not unduly restrict truck drivers passing through the town and would help the community.

The only discussion on the matter came from Councilmember Toby Tobias, who requested that emergency vehicles be allowed to retain use of their engine compression brakes. Fire Department Chief Cam Kissinger confirmed that at least one of their trucks has such brakes, and

Council President Jim Smith asked that it be included in the ordinance for the second reading next month.

Other news from the meeting included the third and final reading of an ordinance to help Peabody R e t i r e m e n t Community refund

bonds, as well as the second and third readings of the town’s budget ordinance.

Both ordinances were passed unanimously.

Smith addressed concerns voiced by citizens at the last meeting, noting that the town’s golf cart ordinance is fully legal, that the town

has a program in place to assist residents with sidewalk repairs, and that third shift police officers have been reporting burnt out or flickering street lights. For more information about the sidewalk repair program, contact the ClerkTreasurer’s office.

THE PAPER ROANN AND NORTHERN MIAMI

October 19, 2016

Joy Harber 765-833-5231 roannhappenings @yahoo.com

THE ROANN LIONS Club met on Oct. 6 at the town hall in Roann. President Rick Morris welcomed everyone and led the members in the pledge to the American flag.

A certificate was awarded to the Roabn Lions Club for their donation to the Leader Dog program. It was shared by members that the Fourth of July fireworks presented by Mike Chenault and friends at the pull field was spectacular!

Morris reported on the sale of donuts during the Roann Covered Bridge Festival. The Lions Club was within $100 of selling the same amount as last year. He also reported that the tractor pull on Friday night of the festival was not able to finish due to the rain and was canceled for Saturday due to the wet track. They had a large crowd until the down pour.

In other business, several more steps and notifications need to be made in finding a place to set the caboose that Dick Siders has offered to give the Lions Club.

The club members felt they should take advantage of this great opportunity to add yet another point of interest to the town of Roann. Therefore, a motion was made by Vonell Krom that the Lions Club should get the caboose and restore it as needed. To follow up on the topic of recycling that was discussed at the September meeting, Pam Woodall said she had talked with John Heeter and he gives the Lions Club permission to put a collection container on the grass behind his building, but it would need to be moved during the festival. The collections of aluminum cans will be a fund raiser for possible fireworks on the Fourth of July in Roann for 2017.

Donna Harman asked about help in finding some kind of a cover for the trailer that is used as center stage for the festival.

The person that owns

COMMUNITY NEWS

the stage has pulled it to another location after the festival each year. However, due to the safety of moving it on the highway, the Roann Covered Bridge committee has been given permission to let it set on property in town. It is great to have such a nice stage, therefore it needs to be covered it to preserve it as much as possible.

Rick will do some checking on possibly finding a cover. Pam Woodall brought Chris Hawkins as a guess at the meeting and he plans to become a member soon.

Members present, Rick Morris, Don Everest, Donna Harman, Vonell Krom, Pam Woodall, Danny Shoemaker, and guest Chris Hawkins.

MSD school board adopts 2017 budget

By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The MSD of Wabash County Board of Education adopted its 2017 budget Tuesday evening, Oct. 11.

In a 4-0 vote, the Board adopted the budget of $24,875,556, which is the same as it was presented at the prior public hearing on Sept. 27.

Board President Matt Driscoll was absent from the meeting.

In other news, the Board voted 3-0 to begin advertising for the financing of its $3 million general obliga-

tion bond. Board member Kevin Bowman abstained from the vote.

The Board originally discussed approving the adoption of the preliminary bond resolution and reimbursement resolution.

However, Bowman and board member Todd Dazey voiced their reservations about the adoption.

“I understand what’s

trying to be done because we can’t do other things and survive,” Bowman said.

“My concern is, though, we have listed a bunch of requirement needs and, yet, not be specific on where some of this money would potentially go toward.”

Dazey said one of his primary concerns was the length of repayment.

Groups push for similar signage on area trails

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com HUNTINGTON – All trails in Northeast Indiana – both existing and new – could have similar signage sometime in the future.

The Northeastern Indiana Regional Coordinating Council (NIRCC) contracted with Merge Design, West Chester, Pa., to prepare a comprehensive branding initiative for the Northeast Indiana regional trail system. The system includes Wabash County, as well as the 10 other counties in Northeast Indiana.

NIRCC, along with a representative from Merje, John Bosio, conducted a series of meetings Wednesday, Oct. 12, to discuss a proposed name, logo and tagline for the regional system.

One meeting took place in Kendallville and another in Fort Wayne. Wednesday afternoon’s meeting was in Huntington.

“We’re not talking about the building of the trails,” Jessica Grossman, Region 3A executive director, stressed at the start of the meeting.

“It’s more how to promote the trails that we have and the trails that are being built as a network in the region, rather

than having Wabash County’s trails, Huntington County’s trails, Allen County’s trails.”

To do so, signs along the trails in the 11 counties would be similar, Bosio said.

His company worked from January through August to develop the signage and other aspects of the plans.

Northeast Indiana United Trails is the proposed name for the trails, while “ C o n n e c t i n g Communities” would be the tagline.

Bosio presented four options for possible signage, three varied with such things as color and material, while the fourth was a combination of different aspects from the other three options.

The wayfinding signs included such things as the name of the trail, distance to other landmarks along the trail, and emergency information such as a specific location on the trail.

Bosio, Grossman or Dan Avery, NIRCC executive director, knew what the signage would cost, nor did they know how many miles of trails existed in the 11county area.

“It will be rolled out in a lot of different phases,” Bosio said of the signs.

“We haven’t done a

cost for the entire system because it’s a little hard to tell at the moment. What we’re looking at right now is a pilot program, hopefully next year, and we’ll try to figure out what that is.”

Grossman also noted that “we aren’t proposing that you go out and rip up every sign across the region. It’s more that we have a cohesive branding across the region.”

It would be up to each community that has a trail as to whether it would incorporate the signage.

The signs could be ordered or if a municipality has its own sign-making facility, such as the City of Wabash does, they could be made there.

Also, the signage the use would be up to the community’s discretion.

“It doesn’t mean that they have to use all those,” Bosio said. “In a certain segment they may need only one or two of those.”

As signs wear out, Avery noted, the community may want to consider replacing the old signage with the proposed signage.

“There should be a minimum amount of information that should be provided,” he continued. “A traveler can have a certain expectation when they use the

New wind turbine regulations approved

By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com Both commercial and non-commercial wind turbines in Wabash County are subject to updated regulations following the County Commissioners’ Oct. 17 meeting.

The commissioners passed an ordinance amending the county’s Wind Energy Conservation Systems (WECS) ordinance which reduces the allowable noise level from wind turbines and places responsibility for shadow flicker countermeasures on the turbine owner.

The amending ordinance states that the sound pressure levels from a turbine may not exceed 32 decibels on the “A” weighted scale outside any primary structure, defined as the structure on a property that is occupied a

majority of the time for either business or personal reasons.

This is an update to Section VII-10-A from the original ordinance, which permitted sounds up to 50 decibels.

The second section updated was Section VII-11, dealing with shadow flicker. The update places the expense of negating shadow flicker, either via landscaping or other fixtures, on the WECS project owner(s) when the shadow flicker creates more than 15 minutes of nuisance in a 24-hour period for five or more days in a calendar year.

It states that the flickerreducing measures must meet the satisfaction of the infringed property owner. The original ordinance stated that landscaping was required to counter the flickering, but did not state which party was responsible for that landscaping.

Other news from the meeting included updated jail statistics from Sheriff Bob Land, and an update

on bridges and roadwork from County H i g h w a y Superintendent John Martin.

Land reported that the Wabash County Jail has 87 inmates, with 50 being held in Miami County and four in Elkhart. He requested permission to request an additional appropriation from the County Council to the tune of $92,000 for additional inmate transfers.

Permission was granted.

Martin reported that 200 W is being repaved, which should take two weeks.

He also requested that three county bridges have their posted weight limits be changed.

The bridge over Bechtold Ditch on 300 E, just north of 1100 N, is now posted at 15 tons. The posting was removed from the bridge on 900 N just east of 500 E due to changes in how load limits are calculated.

The final bridge, located on 1200 S just east of 600 W spanning Cart Creek, was reduced to 12 tons.

Hospital Gala planned Nov. 12

By The Paper staff “Late Night in Wabash” is the theme of the 2016 Hospital Gala. The event is scheduled for Nov. 12 at the Honeywell Center.

“As always we will have great live and silent auction items with dinner and dancing,” Foundation Director Beth Squires Stein said.

Local entertainment this year will be a local talk show.

For more than 20 years, all of the donations have stayed and will continue to stay and be used in Wabash County for hospital patients, she noted.

For the second year, gifts and proceeds from the event will be used to help purchase a new stereotactic breast biopsy system for the Women’s Center at Parkview Wabash Hospital.

“All donations benefit our Women’s Center,” Foundation Board chair Jim

Reynolds said. “Every gift given to help the Gala will assist people in our own community.”

The equipment will enable women to receive a minimally invasive biopsy procedure with many benefits over surgically performed biopsies. It is highly accurate, safe, nearly pain-free and less expensive than open surgery biopsies.

Reservations can be made online or calling the Foundation office, 260-569-2254.

Anyone interested in purchasing a ticket, donating an aution item or making a sponsorship gift may go to Parkview.com/wabas hgala. In-kind gifts and cash gifts of $500 or ore receive complimentary reservations to the Gala.

Lisa KeffaberDowns, owner of Ellen’s, is donating 10 percent of the green accessories purchased at her store.

VIEWPOINT Bicentennial committee appreciates help Dear Editor: After months of planning, the Indiana Bicentennial Legacy Approved Project “A Walk Through Time,” 200 years of Wabash County History, is truly history. On behalf of the Paradise Spring Board of Directors, we would like to thank everyone who came out and so many people who made the event possible: first, all of the news media did a wonderful job publicizing the event.

We had terrific cooperation from the communities of LaFontaine, Lagro, Laketon, Lincolnville, North Manchester, Roann, Richvalley, Somerset, Urbana, and of course, Wabash which all had displays set up to showcase the towns. Several churches were featured during the event – Pastor Dave Phillips conducted an old-fashioned Quaker meeting, The Wabash Presbyterian Church brought the oldest bell in the area, The Wabash Christian Church not only featured a historic display but also prepared fry bread and apple butter, Dora Christian Church served many homemade goodies at its bake sale, Richvalley United Methodist Church offered samples of their famous tenderloins; College Corner, St. Patrick’s and St. Bernards churches featured special pictures and artifacts from their churches.

Thanks to re-enactors for bringing history alive: Pat and Jack Lynn in the Cook’s Cabin, Karen Eppley as Frances Slocum and for use of her antique buckboard wagon, Ware Wimberly as Hugh Hanna, Robert and Penelope Galley as Dr. and Mrs. James Ford, Mayor

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Scott Long as the First Mayor of Wabash Joseph Matlock, and Juanita Rapp as Gene Stratton-Porter, Other displays included: Kyle Coble’s Big Four Railroad, White’s Residential and Family Services, Falls Cemetery, Wabash H.S., MSD of Wabash, former schools of Wabash County, Belgian Draft Horse Corporation, the Ag Community and 4-H, Tri Kappa, Bucheri, McCarty & Metz featuring History of Financial Institutions, Woman’s Clubhouse, Order of Eastern Star and Masons, Mississinewa Cemetery, Wabash Carnegie Library, Veterans Table, Guns & Artillery Display and author Jennifer McSpadden with Civil War research.

Also thanks to Manchester University, Crossroads Bank, Charley Creek Inn, Kiwanis, CCC and Salamonie Lake, Heartland REMC, car displays by Lawrence and Donald Denney, Dave Dorais, Terry Hiple, tractors furnished by Troy Guyer and Dan Dale, Honeywell Foundation, Miller’s Merry Manor, Ford Meter Box, General Tire, B Walter, Parkview Wabash Hospital, Wabash Historical Museum Displays and Wabash Genealogical Society. Delicious food was provided by Optimist Club, Lafontaine Lions, Krogers, Richvalley Church and Paradise Spring Board.

A special thank you to Ron Woodward, the Miami Nation of Indiana, Southwood Elementary music teacher Sarah Rees and her students, the VFW and

Eagle Scout Color Guard, the Paradise Spring Players, actors Linda Snapp, Jo Wagner, Mandy Shull, John Minkler and Eric Seaman, Northfield Drama Club, “Cannonball Kickers”, The Community Band, Bill Barrows and Bob Vanlandingham, Bill Konyha, Steve Downs, Ham Sadler and our wonderful DJ Gary Knable and photographer Alysia Olson. A fitting end to the day was provided as Bonnie Truss played Taps.

Visitors to the Park were awed by the beautiful canal scene mural painted by Ashley Lengel and cedar shingle signs lettered by Judee Sweet. We especially appreciated the cooperation of Mitch Figert and the Wabash Historical Museum, the City of Wabash and Adam Hall of the Parks Board. And none of this would have been possible without the generous Endowment from Melba Johnson Custer in memory of her parents Henry and Annetta Johnson who loved history and education.

I know there are many more people who should be mentioned (my husband for one for his unending support!) but thank you to anyone omitted. We are in the process of producing a Bicentennial Celebration Booklet to commemorate this event and the Bicentennial Torch Relay. — Deanna Unger, Paradise Spring Board Secretary and Event Chair

Chair Affair had record year in 2016

Dear Editor: What an amazing day we had on Aug. 20. The City of Wabash and surrounding towns and their residents were out in full force for the 2016 Chair Affair. From the first entry being dropped off until the auctioneer said, “Sold,” for the final tem, we stood in amazement.

There were a record number of entries at 59.

The crowds continued to vote until we said we had to get the rest of the votes counted. No one let the rain dampen the spirit of the day. We were all there for the same reason, to honor a beloved teacher and friend and to raise money for two deserving organizations.

The auction is so much fun every year but this year was awesome. When auctioneer Tony Stout said sold to someone who had just bid $140 for a chair and that man said, “Sell it again,” we thought our ears were deceiving us.

That same scenario played out over and over again. The amount of money raised in our record setting year was $3,685. Blessings in a Backpack and the Active Teachers Grant Fund will split this money.

We were blessed to have members of the Koehler family present. They got to see how a community pulls together and supports each other. Even family members that could not come participated via telephone calls.

When we started planning for the 2016 Chair Affair and decided to dedicate it to the memory of Cheryl Koehler, we only hoped for a good response. Never in our wildest dreams did we thing we would set records.

Congratulations to Metal Source, the winner of the Koehler Family Choice award. They also won first place in the business category. Second place business went to Sharp Creeks Art Club.

First place in the individual category was awarded to Kathy Werking and second place went to Jody Burkholder.

Our local festival queen, Makala Ridgeway, chose Twisted Scissors Salon and its snowman chair as her favorite and the Indiana State Festivals Queen, Mariah Kagels, selected the

entry by Leah Werking.

We want to thank Guenin Law for sponsoring the 2016 Chair Affair. Thank you to Brian Howenstine and Wabash True Value for providing the awning, complete with sides in case of rain. Thank you to Tony Stout for giving up his Saturday afternoon to auction the chairs.

Special thanks to Curt Correll, Matt Benson, Amy Eads, Natalie Unger, Emily GueninHodson, Mark Guenin, Kaytlyn Eberly, Darla Eberly, Bev Vanderpool, Mariah and T?ina Kagels and the 2016 Festival queen Makala Ridgeway and her court for helping whenever and wherever needed.

Thank you to everyone, business and individuals who created some of the most amazing entries that we have ever had. Thank you to the teachers that encouraged their students to be creative and to become involved in the community. These children are the future of events like this. A huge thank you to all of the people that came to vote and then came back to bid and buy chairs. To see companies and individuals put so much time and money into creating their entry and then to buy it back just leaves us speechless. To watch the faces of the students that created entries while their chair was being sold touched our hearts.

Thank you to our donors, Harvey Hinklemeyers, Leah’s Cakery, Modoc’s and WKUZ Radio for providing prizes.

Thank you to the Wabash Garden Fest for allowing us to join them as we recycle and upcycle chairs, benchs, stools and even dressers into one of a kind works of art.

Just to be able to be part of the Chair Affair for 10 years is an honor. I is our hope that those first timers will feel the same way and want to join us again next year. And those that caught the bud years ago, keep those chairs coming.

Now let’s go fill some backpacks and supply teachers with much needed supplies for their classrooms. -- Chris Benson, Sara Correll and Diane Guenin, Chair Affair committee members.

Squire girls qualify for CC semistate

By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com

For the second year in a row, the Manchester Squire girls' cross country team will compete at the New Prairie Semi-State, while Drew Jones from the boys' team will join them.

The girls' team finished second to advance as a group, while Jones was the eighth boy competing individually to cross the finish line to move on.

Warsaw won the girls' team title with 30 points, with Manchester second with 101. Maconaquah was third (112), followed by Western (117), Lewis Cass (136), Rochester (142), Northwestern (163), Culver Academies (163), Logansport (196), and Plymouth (258).

Rae Bedke was third overall, finishing with a time of 19:07 to lead the Squires.

Tahnee Fuentes finished 12th with a time of 20:26.7, and Jaelyn Webb was 23rd, crossing the finish

line in 21:04.7.

Not too far behind was Clara Burdette, finishing 30th in 21:36.6, followed by Sydney Diefenbaugh in 54th place in 22:27.4, Katie Barker in 56th place in 22:30.3, and Maddy Evans in 77th place in 23:57.3.

In the boys' race, Jones finished in 18:20, good for 27th overall, but he wasn't alone, as five other Squires ran as individuals at regional.

Ethan Davis was 51st overall with a time of 18:57.8, Ben Reichenbach was 56th in 19:06.1, Hunter Miller was 59th in 19:18.1, Reece Adamiec was 71st in 19:44.5, and Montgomery Pattison was 76th in 20:23.8.

The New Prairie Semi-State begins at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time (10:00 a.m. Central Time). The top six teams and top 10 individuals from non-advancing teams will qualify for the State Finals in Terre Haute on October 29.

Lady Squires fall in soccer regional

By The Paper staff After making history with the school's first soccer sectional, the Manchester girls' soccer fell short against fifth-ranked Bellmont in the

regional round 3-0.

Bellmont's only goal in the first half came on a penalty kick with 7:05 left to take a 1-0 lead.

The Braves made it 2-0 with 17:21 left in the contest on a direct kick just outside 18

yards, then made it 3-0 with a goal with 7:19 left.

"We fought hard and played well," Manchester coach Jenn Birch said. "It was a great effort from everyone on the team, and we had a

fantastic season."

Manchester ends the season with a 13-51 record, picking up the Three Rivers Conference and sectional titles along the way.

Layne Evans opened the scoring for Northfield, with a 10yard run at the 1:04 mark of the second quarter.

Ryan Driscoll found the end zone next for the Norse on a 67yard punt return with 5:11 left in the third quarter.

The fourth quarter belonged to the Norse.

Jensen Frieden scored on a 54yard run to put the NOrse up 210 with 10:58 left in the game.

Evans scored a second TD with 6:51 left, this one coming on a three-yard run.

Braden Ripplinger capped off

the Norse scoring, finding paydirt on a one-yard run with 4:05 left in the contest.

Kade Kennedy connected on four of his five extra=point attempts.

Northfield dominated the running game, picking up 315 yards on the ground compared to NorthMiami’s 106.

Frieden led the Norse ground attack with 158 yards on 11 carries. Evans had 17 carries for 74 yards.

Northfield gained no yardage through the air, as Evans went 04 with two interceptions.

North Miami connected on just two of five passes for 18 yards.

The Norse travel to Southwood this Friday to take on the Wabash County and MSD of Wabash County rival Knights in the first round of the IHSAA sectional football tourney.

Knights top Valley Southwood put up 317 yards through the air and another 167 on the ground as it easily defeat-

ed Tippecanoe Valley, 49-20, in the conference playoffs.

Southwood quarterback Carson Blair was 13 of 20 through the air with six touchdowns.

Jeffrey Finicle and Peyton Trexler each caught two TD passes from Blair, while Zach Ball and Blake Martz each caught one.

Matt Cox led the Knights ground attack, gaining 137 of the team’s 167 yards on 14 carries.

Apax down Squires Sammy Hipskind was involved in five touchdowns as the Wabash Apaches stopped a four-game losing skid, defeating the Manchester Squires 40-22 in the TRC play-off weekend. With the win, the Apaches finish seventh in the conference, while the Squires are eighth.

Hipskind gave Wabash a 7-0 lead on a one-yard quarterback sneak for a touchdown.

With 8:32 left in the second quarter, Hipskind found

Vander Velden for an 11-yard touchdown and a 13-0 lead.

Manchester's Kane Gable responded on the ensuing kickoff, taking the ball 77 yards for a touchdown to cut it to 13-7.

Wabash extended its lead to 21-7 when Hipskind found Noah Cressel from 11 yards for a score.

Manchester didn't back down, cutting the lead to 21-14 on a 41yard touchdown run from Josh Shepherd.

Shepherd stepped up on defense as well, picking off a pass, but the Squires weren't able to tie it up on their next drive.

Late in the second quarter, the Apaches' Luke Proctor gave Wabash a 28-14 lead with a sixyard touchdown run, but Manchester didn't buckle to start the second half.

The Squires cut the lead to 2822 on an 11-play drive that ended with a one-yard quarterback sneak touchdown from Hayes Sturtsman and a two-point conversion, but that would be the last time Manchester would find the end zone.

Hipskind found Justin Beauchamp for a 29-yard strike with 4:40 left in the third quarter, then sealed it in the fourth quarter with a one-yard touchdown run to give the Apaches a 40-22 win.

Wabash finishes the regular season with a 5-4 record, while the Squires end with a 1-8 record.

The Apaches will travel to Bremen (6-3) this Friday for the opening round of sectional, while the Squires host Delphi (54). Both games kick-off at 7 p.m.

However, while numbers are up this season, four years ago only 13,125 Wabash County residents, or 58.6 percent of those registered, cast their vote in the General Election.

By The Paper staff The Wabash County Historical Museum is pleased to announce that Crossroads Bank will be sponsoring all Wabash County student field trips to the Museum for the 20162017 school year. This partnership with Crossroads Bank enables the Museum to maintain offering these field trips free of charge to educators, students and their families.

“As we introduce our new tagline – Preserving the past.

Influencing the future. – there is no better way to engage youth in local history than getting them to experience the interactive exhibits at the Museum,” said Mitch Figert, Executive Director of the Museum. “We enjoy serving as a second classroom to local educators and work to bring their lessons alive through the use of artifacts, living

history, and other activities. Thanks to Crossroads Bank we will ensure there are minimal barriers to Wabash County educators as they take advantage of all we have to offer them at the Museum.”

Field trips are vital in introducing and engaging young people in local history, and being able to offer free access to the Museum will hopefully spark an interest for many children.

Daycares, preschools, homeschool associations, private and public school students can all take advantage of free field trips throughout the fall and spring semesters.

Field trips consist not only of touring both floors of exhibits and the Parkview Wabash Education Center but also can include a new passport-scavenger hunt activity, an interactive “What Is It?” activity and 15 minute video about Wabash County. The Museum

Alumni honored at HU’s homecoming From the HU News Bureau HUNTINGTON — On Oct., Huntington University honored alumni at its annual homecoming chapel and luncheon for their work in advancing the institution’s mission to impact the world for Christ.

“It is a privilege to be able to recognize our alumni award recipients in this way,” said Marcy Hawkins, Huntington University’s director of alumni relations / director of the

Forester Fund.

“Presenting the awards during chapel gives our current students the opportunity to see what alumni are doing across the globe. Likewise, our alumni have the chance to speak directly to the current students and encourage them in their education to career journey.”

Debra and Dennis Osberg of Littleton, Colo., received the Distinguished Alumni Citation for devoting their lives to educating and ministering to

children in Honduras.

Both graduated with education degrees from Huntington University in 1978.

“Missionary work was never on our radar,” Mrs. Osberg said. “But the Lord had other plans.” In 1994, the Osbergs moved to Honduras to teach children at the Academia Los Pinares in Tegucigalpa. After a short stint back in Huntington, the Osbergs found themselves, once again, on a plane to Honduras in 2006. Osberg had been asked to take on the role of teacher and principal of Academia Los Pinares. During that time, they taught children, mentored moms and families, conducted Bible studies and build friendships with the Hondurans.

“Our goal was not education, because that’s temporary; our goal was the eternal— the hearts and souls of the kids for the Lord,” he said.

Huntington University honored (from left) 2010 graduate Jarod Hammel from Huntington, with the Young Alumnus of the Year award; Nancy Brown, a 1986 graduate from Orange County Florida with the Alumnus of the Year Award; and Debra and Dennis Osberg of Littleton, Colo., 1978 graduates with the Distinguished Alumni Citation at this year’s Homecoming celebration.

Photo provided Nancy Brown, Chief Deputy of the Orange County Florida Sheriff ’s Office, was honored with the Alumnus of the Year Award. Brown graduated from Huntington University in 1986 with a bachelor’s degree in recreation management.

During her four

years at HU, Brown spent her summers in Florida working at a Sheriff ’s Youth Ranch for underprivileged children. Those summer experiences deeply impacted Brown and led her to a career that focused on helping people through law enforcement.

University provided me with a platform for growth. I met many mentors that invested in my development as a student, teacher, athlete and follower of Christ. To this day I maintain many of these strong relationships.

Huntington University provided me with the unique opportunity to network with people who shared in my faith. I was able to get to know Christ better through these friends and mentors.”

THE PAPER

October 19, 2016

The Princeton Review names HU Best in the Midwest From the HU News Bureau HUNTINGTON — For the eighth year, The Princeton Review has named H u n t i n g t o n University one of the best colleges in the Midwest. The nationally known education services company recommends HU as one of 156 institutions in 12 Midwestern states on its 2017 “Best in the Midwest” list.

“This recognition is an honor for H u n t i n g t o n University and confirms the excellent education that our students receive.

Student comments focus on the authenticity of their experience at HU. Professors truly care

for their students, both for their academic success and for their personal and spiritual growth. Huntington University is a Christcentered community where students see how biblical principles relate to their fields of study, and also see the love of Jesus in faculty and staff,” stated Dr. Michael Wanous, vice president for academic affairs and dean of the faculty.

For this project, The Princeton Review asks students attending the schools to rate their own schools on several issues from the accessibility of their professors to the quality of their science lab facilities

and answer questions about themselves, their fellow students, and their campus life. Student comments in the profile on Huntington University indicate that the university does not just say that it is Christ-centered; rather its “faith is clearly demonstrated through the staff and students here.”

Other student comments include “Jesus Christ is the center of every aspect of the university, from the classroom to everyday life”; “Truly caring” professors “are personable, and [students have] a great experience in the classroom and outside it with them”; and “People here are very receptive to

new people. It is easy to be accepted by just being yourself.”

The Princeton Review editors then narrow their choices based on institutional data the company collected directly from several hundred colleges in each region, staff visits to schools over the years, and the opinions college counselors and advisors whose recommendations the Company invites.

The Princeton Review is an education services company known for its test-prep courses, tutoring, books, and other student resources. The company is not affiliated with Princeton University, and it is not a magazine.

has awarded Gene Miles, President and CEO of First Farmers Bank & Trust, with the Bruning Award, the association’s premiere award and designation for ag banking.

The award will be presented at ABA N a t i o n a l A g r i c u l t u r a l Bankers Conference, Nov. 13-16 in Indianapolis.

Miles has served First Farmers for over 38 years and his career has touched on nearly every capacity within the institution, including commercial loan officer, compliance officer, investment officer, marketing officer and accounting officer. He also is engaged in the community, with outreach including volunteer leadership

positions with St. Vincent Hospital, the Miami County C o m m u n i t y Foundation, the Northern Indiana C o m m u n i t y Foundation and the Miami County E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t Committee.

As a youth, Miles was raised on an Indiana corn, soybean and livestock farm, working alongside his father and grandfather.

“It makes you feel grounded to know that your roots go back to Grandpa’s ground. I am deeply honored to be awarded the Bruning Award,” he said. “So many employees, directors, and customers have been a part of what we have done, and I would like to personally thank them.

I’m extremely proud to have been a part of the U.S. ag banking community and U.S agriculture, the greatest provider of safe, affordable, and abundant food the world has ever seen.”

THE PAPER

Manchester sets enrollment record From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER — With a record total enrollment of 1,599 students this year, M a n c h e s t e r University has again been named one of the best colleges and best value schools among regional col-

leges by the U.S. News & World Report annual college guide.

Manchester is sixth in its Midwest’s top 10 “Great Schools, Great Prices” ranking. This is also the 23nd year the news magazine has recognized the University as one of the “Best Colleges” in the Midwest. Last month, The Princeton Review col-

lege guide also declared Manchester a “Best in the Midwest.” MU is a perennial in such rankings.

“They are a reflection of Manchester’s dedication to putting students first in all that we do,” said President Dave McFadden. “Our total growth in large part comes from identify-

ing areas of market demand and looking at what resources we have to meet them.

That’s how we ended up offering the nation’s first master’s degree program in pharmacogenomics.”

M a n c h e s t e r University reached the 1,600-student mark for the first time in its history this year. The official

tallies are not complete, but the Registrar’s Office confirms this year’s 1,599 enrollment exceeds that of last year’s previous record of 1,537.

Before that, 1970-71 was the highest enrollment on record with 1,471 students.

Manchester offers a Triple Guarantee to undergraduates –

including guaranteed access to financial aid, guaranteed graduation in four years or less and guaranteed job or grad school placement within six months of graduation.

The University’s 10-year average for employment/graduate school placement is higher than 95 percent.

Most Manchester undergraduate students graduate in four years – an increasing number in three – which accelerates their earning potential and keeps student loan debt in check. Manchester this year began offering a five-year, fasttrack path to a master’s degree in athletic training.

On Wednesday, Oct. 12, Susan Bayh, wife of Indiana Senate Democratic candidate Evan Bayh spoke to a dozen of her husband’s Wabash County supporters on his political stances, encouraging the locals to spread the word to their friends, family

and neighbors. “(My husband) is a gentleman,” Mrs. Bayh said. “He is a person who is willing to work with anybody to get the job done. … No progress will be made unless people are willing to work with others across the aisle.”

Previously leading in the polls by double digits, Bayh, Indiana’s former governor and Senate representative, is now running a close race with Republican candidate Todd Young, which is something Mrs. Bayh said they’ve always expected.

“We always knew this would be a close race,” Mrs. Bayh told The Paper of Wabash County.

“This is not a surprise to us at all.”

On Thursday, Oct. 13, with less than three weeks until the Wabash debate between the two U.S. House of Representatives’ 2nd District candidates, Republican incumbent Jackie Walorski stopped by PaperWorks to tour the factory and learn more about how the Wabash-based facility is recycling paper to make name brand products.

Photo by Emma Rausch a handful of the facility’s workers and board members about her political stances and inside knowledge about the nation’s future tax reform before receiving a tour of the facility.

“We’re going to be looking at, for example, in January, we’re going to be looking at tax reform in the country,” Walorski told the group in answering a question about her risk to help the local facility.

“Tax reform is going

to happen no matter what president is elected because republicans and democrats both are ready to come to the table on tax reform and that will have implications on every single company in this country.

“So my job becomes the defender of companies in this district. So there is no risk (for me).

My job is to defend the company. … My job is to be an advocate and fighting for this company.”

Before leaving for her next appointment, Walorski told The Paper that she is looking forward to the local debate on Tuesday, Nov. 1.

“We really come to Wabash in all of the debates because one of the things that we heard when this district was re-districted, we heard from so many people that lived out here that they never knew who represented them, nobody had ever cared about the southern part of the

district and that they had been tossed around,” she said, “and it is so important to me. We come to Wabash a lot … but just letting people know that we are one district and I fight for everybody.

“Just because I live up north doesn’t mean I’m not fighting every day for Hoosiers in Wabash as well and we love the community. We love coming down here.”

Increase in mycotoxins seen in local corn crop ...continued from the front page corn producers are reporting ear rot associated with two forms of mycotoxin, vomitoxin and aflatoxin, according to Campbell.

“Just the fact that you put those two together, we usually don’t see those two at the same time, and that’s what I find bothersome about this whole conversation,” Woloshuk told The Paper of Wabash County in a phone interview.

“Normally, and this is normal conditions, we would see aflatoxin, which is a mycotoxin produced by a fungus that makes the ear rot, we would usually find that in years when we have drought stress and really hot weather.

Vomitoxin is a DON (deoxynivalenol) produced by another ear rot pathology and it usually occurs when it’s very wet and cold.

“So these two things, we usually don’t see them in the same years because of

those two interactions,” he continued.

“I wouldn’t say that it’s impossible, but it is uncommon.”

Wabash County is experiencing the two types because of “a hot, dry few weeks in August followed by a wet period of time,” according to Campbell.

“I think the majority (of farmers) are reporting a little bit (of the mycotoxins), but it isn’t major at this point in time,” Campbell said.

However, despite the increase in reports in the area, Campbell and Woloshuk agreed that conditions have been far worse in the past.

“In 2009, I remember that was a very wet cold year and we had a big problem up (in the northeast region) with vomitoxin,” Woloshuk said.

“Then in 2012, there was a drought stress all throughout Indiana, so we saw a lot of aflatoxin.”

The area’s recent

ear rot could possibly be attributed to insects, such as earworms, Woloshuk continued.

“Sometimes and probably what’s driving a lot of this conversation is the earworms that are on the ears of corn and are damaging them,” he said. “A lot of times when they damage the ear, the molds can get because they’re all around and we see ear rots associated with that.”

No matter the cause, Curt said part of his concern is when the corn harvest.

“Right now, we’re hitting the bean harvest and maybe, after some rain, we have some guys back harvesting some corn,” he said, “but we kind of have put off the corn harvest so we can get the beans. …

I’m (also) concerned if they have a really big problem with (ear rot) they may make it worse during the storage time if they don’t

store it properly.”

“We have perfect drying weather right now, so if there’s any kind of hint that there’s a problem, they have got to be taking that corn out of the field, drying it down and getting it stored,” Woloshuk added, “because if they do have a problem and it sits out there and it gets wet, then it’s just going to get worse.”

If not tested and cared for in a timely manner, farmers could be affected when selling their product.

POET Biorefining, the ethanol plant in North Manchester, constantly monitors mycotoxins in incoming crops, according to Steve Pittman, POET general manager.

While the toxins do not affect ethanol production, they do affect the plant’s feed byproduct.

“We monitor for it constantly in our quality control

department,” Pittman told The Paper, “and so when we get to a little bit higher level, an elevated level like what we’re seeing this year off of sub-farms, then we’re sampling virtually everything that comes in to make sure that we’re staying within the federal guidelines for (producing) feed.”

The plant is not turning away crops, but farmers with affected corn will see a decrease in payment, he continued.

“What we do is we have a scale that we deduct from the price of the corn if the vomitoxin or aflatoxin is above a certain

level,” he explained.

“So basically that coincides with the cost that we have to handle that properly and make sure that that feed is safe.”

POET is offering a sample testing service for farmers concerned that they may be affected, he continued. North Central Co-Op in Treaty is also testing for the toxins.

“We’re just telling our farmers now, we have a testing place and we’re testing the corn coming in and we’re talking with our farmers and some of them are concerned and asking if we can test sample of their corn and the answer

is yes,” Pittman said.

“So we do provide that service to our farmer producers.

“So we’re working very closely with the farmers. We’re trying to assist them to get through this issue as effectively as they can and our position is to be fair with everybody to make sure they get a fair price for the hard work they put into the farm and also make sure we’re protecting the feed animals on the back end of the process.”

THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

The monthly meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) took place on Tuesday, Oct. 11, at the Grandstaff Hentgen Activity Room, Wabash. There were six members present and guests Matt Barnett, Bill Barnett and C. Richard Edwards.

The meeting opened with the DAR ritual.

Devotions were on Zephaniah 3:17 “The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves.” John Paul Jones, a Scottish sailor who fought during the American Revolution, uttered the words when taunted to surrender by the British, “I have not yet begun to fight.” His statement rallied the troops to victory.

God is a Mighty Warrior and all He needs is for us to listen and obey Him. The October President General’s message from Ann T. Dillon was shared by Joyce Joy. On Oct. 11 DAR will celebrate its 126th anniversary!

The National DAR Day of Service will continue this year; members are encouraged to participate in service projects in honor of this anniversary. In honor of DAR Founder’s Day, Barbara Amiss, Regent, presented a short biography on

Frances Slocum, our chapter’s name sake.

Barbara Amiss gave the National Defender report on the history of Castillo de San Marcos, the oldest masonry fort in the continental United States. It is the only extant 17th century fort and is an excellent example of the “bastion system” of fortification. Construction began in 1672, 107 years after the founding of the city of St. Augustine, Florida on the Atlantic side, when Florida was part of the Spanish empire.

After 251 years of continuous military use, it was deactivated in 1933 and now maintained by the National Park Service.

Avonne Lee Knecht shared the American Indians Committee minute on the 567 tribes, including 229 Alaska Native communities, currently recognized by the federal government.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs is the primary federal agency in charge of relations with indigenous communities.

On September 30th, the chapter sent over three pounds of manufacturer’s coupons to Airman & Family Readiness Center in Okinawa, Japan, as a way to support service members and their families who are stationed overseas. Many of us take the coupon in-

serts in our newspapers for granted, but those serving overseas do not have access to money saving manufacturer’s coupons.

Military families stationed overseas can use coupons up to 6 months after their expiration date.

Special 25 years of DAR membership certificates were recognized to four members who were all admitted into membership on October 12, 1991; Peggy Coppler, Stephanie Gray, Felicia Hill, and Valerie Sperry.

The program was presented by Matt Barnett, 2016 DAR Outstanding History Teacher, Lewis Cass High School, portraying “Young George Washington.”

George was born in 1732, on Pope’s Creek Farm in Westmoreland County, Virginia. When George was almost 3, his family moved to the large underdeveloped plantation that was later called Mount Vernon. He admired his older s t e p - b ro t h e r Lawrence who told exciting stores about his sea adventures.

George wanted to become a sailor but his mother Mary wanted him to stay close to home.

George had only seven or eight years of formal education.

He copied his “Rules of Civility” on sheets of paper that his

mother sewed into a notebook. He also learned to keep business accounts and do simple figuring.

Growing up at Ferry Farm, young George helped manage a plantation worked by 20 Negro slaves. He was observant and hard-working.

He saw how many things a plantation needed to keep operating, such as cloth and iron tools. He also developed his lifelong love for horses.

After teen-aged George gave up hopes of becoming a sailor, he became interested in exploring the frontier. At 15, he took his father’s old set of surveying instruments out of storage and began to earn money as an assistant to local surveyors. In the summer of 1749, Washington helped lay out the newly established town of Alexandria, VA. Later that year he was appointed official surveyor for Culpeper County. In November, Lord Fairfax hired him to make a short surveying trip into the Shenandoah Valley.

At the age of 20, George began his early military career, delivering a message to the French military commander in the Ohio River Valley that they must withdraw their troops from the region. At Fort Le Boeuf, the French commander rejected the order and gave Washington a letter to carry back to Robert Dinwiddie, the acting governor of Virginia. This became the beginning of the French and Indian War, and in Europe as the Seven Years’ War. The only time in Washington’ military career that he surrendered was at Fort Necessity, in Pennsylvania, 1754.

The next meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter will be Tuesday, Nov. 8, at 7 p.m. at the Grandstaff-Hentgen Activity Room, 1231 Manchester Avenue, Wabash.

The program will be on “Honor Flight Veterans Honored” with Dr. David Roe and Charles “Bob” Amiss. Prospective members and guests are always welcome to attend.

Ideal weather draws record crowd to 14th Chili Cook-off ...continued from the front page including the additional funds generated through t-shirt sales, team entries and the event’s sister fundraiser, the Chili Bowl.

There is no set goal for the fundraiser, according to Robert McCallen III, committee member.

“We don’t set goals,” McCallen told The Paper of Wabash County. “We just know that the Wabash community is generous and we know that we’re going to raise a lot of money, so we don’t have to set goals.

“Fourteen years ago, we never imagined that this would still be going on, and to be this big and this exciting and such a beautiful day, this is great.”

In addition to earning the title of the largest chili cook-off east of the Mississippi River, Chili for Charity has raised more than $430,000 for Wabash County charitable organizations since 2002, not including 2016’s donations.

“There’s never been any question. It’s always going

to be about Wabash,” McCallen said. “Everything has always gone back to Wabash with the exception of one year (when) we donated $500 to … a bunch of Marines in Iraq to do a chili cook-off, but outside of that it’s always been about Wabash and the money’s always stayed in Wabash.”

Each year, Chili for Charity donates the year’s funds to charities and organizations selected by the cook off ’s committee.

This year, the committee chose 10 organizations to receive the funds including 85 Hope, Family Services Society Hands of Hope, Best of the Best, the LaFontaine Lions Club, the Honeywell Foundation Educational Outreach Program, Wabash County Cancer Society, Arc of Wabash County, the Paradise Spring Historical Park Board, the Lagro Park Board and Blessings in a Backpack.

Many of the organizations agreed that their services would not be possible without donations like those raised by Chili for Charity.

Jurassic Chili, sponsored by Rick’s Auto, won the 2016 Open Showmanship competition.

Market Street Grill captured first place in the 2016 Restaurant Division.

“Believe it or not, we run completely on the donations from Chili for Charity,” Jeanie Cooper, Best of the Best co-program director, said. “So that means it goes from everything to our field trips to our guest artists to art supplies to the show we have at the end of the year, the whole function of the Best of the Best program depends on Chili for Charity.

“If you would have told me a long time ago when this event started that our program would have become so dependent on it, I wouldn’t have believed you,” she continued.

In return for Chili for Charity’s support, the organizations assist with various tasks at the Saturday event, such as running the children’s activities.

“I am so extremely grateful that Chili for Charity believes in our program and it allows Wabash County art students to create,” Cooper said. “It’s such a beautiful thing.”

The charity aspect is also one reason why Linda and Bob (continued on page 34)

Jacques Driscoll of Detroit, Mich., received the award for having traveled the farthest to compete in the 2016 Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity Chili Cook-off.

Ideal weather draws record crowd to 14th Chili Cook-off

Chuck Wagon Chili won the 2016 CASI Showmanship Award.

...continued from the front page Hoffman, the Red with Envy chili team from Columbia City, returns each year to compete in the local competition.

“We have been competitive chili cooks casually for a number of years (and) we’ve done this one for five years in a row. I wouldn’t miss it,” Mrs. Hoffman told The Paper. “It’s wonderful. I like the idea that it’s for charity. As I said, I’m a competitive chili cook but we only do it for charity and it gives back to the community.

“It’s just a wonderful family day.”

While top chili team recipes are awarded plaques at the end of the day, that’s not what Saturday was about, according to Mrs. Hoffman.

“You come out here and you have fun,” she said. “It’s not about winning a prize. It’s about giving back to the community and if you’re chili is great and people enjoy it, that’s wonderful.”

Like many other teams, the Hoffmans competed in the cook off hosted by the Chili Appreciation Society International, also known as CASI. Indiana CASI President Darin Jester said his organization’s ideals align with the Wabash cook-off ’s.

“I’m from Indianapolis and we actually have our own chapter of the CASI division and it’s all about giving to charity locally,” Jester said.

“This cook-off in its 14th year has donated more than $400,000 to charities in the Wabash area. Indiana as a whole, we average about $70,000 back to local charities across 10 or 11 cook offs … and then CASI as a whole sanctions about 600 cook offs a year internationally … and we do about $2 million back to charity every year.”

Teams do not compete for cash prizes, Jester said.

“That money needs to go back to the charity groups,” he said. “This (Wabash) event is a successful event.

It always has a good number of turnouts for cooks as well as public

in attendance. I think it averages 10,000 in attendance annually, so it’s about supporting charity.”

Teams could win plaques in categories including Open People’s Choice, Church People’s Choice, Open Showmanship, Restaurant Division, CASI Chili, CASI Showmanship, Unusual Ingredient Award and Farthest Distance Award.

The top three Open People’s Choice awards went to: • Center Court Barber Shop, first place.

• Team Canada, second place.

• Brass Kickin’ Chili, third place.

The top three Church People’s Choice awards went to: • Turn or Burn Chili, first place.

• Solid Rock Chili, second place.

• Holy Wranglers, third place.

Open Showmanship’s top three award winners were: • Jurassic Chili, first place.

• Team Canada, second place.

• Off the Charts Chili, third place.

The top three Restaurant Division awards were granted to: • Market Street Grill, first place.

• Wellbrooke of Wabash, second place.

• Honeywell Center, third place.

CASI Chili’s top three award winners were: • Flashover Chili, first place.

• Crazy Lady Chili, second place.

• Wicked Chili, third place.

CASI Showmanship top three awards were granted to: • Chuck Wagon Chili, first place.

• Motley Crew from IU, second place.

• Holy Wranglers, third place.

Arc of Wabash County’s team, Mutton Honey Chili, received the 2016 Unusual Ingredient Award while Green Dot Stables of Detroit, Mich., received the Farthest Distance Award.

MU to host Monster Mash for local children From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER – In order to make the annual Halloween party at M a n c h e s t e r University a little easier on the feet of little Ninja Turtles and their parents, the family-friendly event will be in just one area this year.

The MU Monster Mash is 6-8 p.m. on

Wednesday, Oct. 26, along East Street: East Hall is having trick or treating along with its traditional Wing Wars, with each wing in a friendly competition to see which can best carry out its theme.

Haunted Garver Hall is adding a special kid-friendly area on the first floor this year, inspired by the game of Clue. The haunted area

upstairs will be so spooky it might not be appropriate for children younger than 10.

Residents of East Street Apartments will open their doors for trick-or-treaters, and they are digging into their own pockets to pay for the candy.

Students from Helman, Oakwood and Schwalm halls will offer refresh-

ments and fun activities for kids of all ages in the service drives between Garver and East halls. The Campus Interfaith Board will be there with candy and information about how Halloween has been celebrated in other cultures.

This event is sponsored by the M a n c h e s t e r University Residence Hall Association. The

North Manchester Lion’s Club is offering assistance during the event.

MU students are also volunteering at the Haunted Police and Fire Station.

Trick or Treat for the town of North Manchester is 5-8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 31.
