County’s LIT changes explained By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Local Income Tax rate is not increasing. However, homestead property owners may see increase on their tax statement, according to Marcie Shepherd, Wabash County Auditor. On Monday, Oct. 16, the Wabash County Council approved an ordinance modify-

ing the LIT allocations. As per the ordinance, the modifications were to decrease Property Tax Relief rates from 1 percent to .5 percent, allocate .41 percent to Certified Shares and direct .09 percent of the Expenditure rate to the Public Safety Access Point (PSAP). The LIT modifications will take affect as of Jan. 1, 2018. The Paper of Wabash County

sat down with Shepherd to have these changes explained. Is the LIT rate increasing? “Our income tax rate is 2.9 (percent). There is not an increase in our income tax,” Shepherd said. “So we’re talking about two different things (regarding increases). So income tax there is not an increase. With that income tax,

An adventure of two lifetimes California resident explores great-grandparents’ lives in Vaudeville By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

AlyssaBeth Archambault is living the journey of a lifetime. In reality, it can be called the journey of two lifetimes. A Los Angeles resident, Archambault is the great-granddaughter of Sam and Eugenia Nainoa, native Hawaiians who traveled the Vaudeville circuit for about two decades in the early 20th century. Archambault is in the sixth week of a cross-country journey to visit the various towns in which her great-grandparents played. She has found about 90 cities in

which the couple had performed, and was in Wabash on Friday, Oct. 27, to do research, for the Nainoas performed at least two times at the Historic Eagles Theatre in 1916. She toured the Eagles Theatre, and stood on the stage upon which her great-grandparents once performed. Later, she sat in one of the first-floor seats, reflecting on what life was like 100 years ago for them, as well as her grandmother, Ula, who was born while the couple traveled the countryside, and her great-aunt Joyce, who also was born on the road. Archambault admitted to getting a bit

emotional while looking at the stage, imagining her great-grandfather on the stage. “I don’t know what path he took (on the stage), but I’m under the same roof he was,” she reflected. Archambault’s journey gained life while she was working at an artist residency program in Reading, Pa. A sign-painter, she accepted a residency at the GoggleWorks Center for Arts in Reading. While there, she began exploring the history of the city and, while researching old newspapers, discovered that her great-grandparents once performed there. (continued on page 7)

City approves bids to demolish Harrison Avenue home Demo order issued for Adams Street home

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety accepted a bid

to demolish one home Thursday, Oct. 19. Meanwhile, another home was ordered by the board to be demolished. A bid of $6,440 from Brainard Excavating to demolish a home owned by Jan Bailey, 20 E. Harrison Ave., was unanimously approved by the board. Bailey told the board that she has been in contact with several firms interested in removing the homes outer limestone siding. Doing so, she contended, would save the city money in landfill fees. She said several landscaping firms would be at the house in the next few days to determine an interest in removing

the siding. But Mayor Scott Long told her “that’s secondary to demolition.” Bailey contended that the limestone should be removed before demolition. But Long said, “the home can be demolished whether the limestone is there or not.” The bids were received in September, Long noted, and she was given time to determine is she would like to have the home demolished on her own, or if the city should demolish it and place a lien against the property. She has not done so. Board member Todd Titus questioned if vehicles

were still on the property and if that would hinder demolition. Bailey said one vehicle was to be removed, and someone was to come to look at some of the other vehicles. She also said she plans to keep one vehicle for personal use. She also said a contractor told her that the vehicles could be placed next to a fence on the property, and that they would cause no problems for the demolition. The board ordered B u i l d i n g Commissioner John Stephens to instruct Code Enforcement Officer Kipp Cantrell to check the vehicles to see if they violated the city’s junk vehicle ordinance. In another matter,

the board, following an unsafe building hearing, ordered a structure owned by Grayson McCombs, 1470 Adams St., be demolished. During the hearing, Stephens told the board a tree fell on the roof of the structure last fall, causing considerable damage to it. An unsafe building hearing took place then, and the city gave McCombs a chance to repair the structure. Work started, but little was done to it, Stephens said, adding that he recently was able to get inside the building where he found problems with the floor and mold growing, among other things. He said the structure was dilapidated,

a health problem and was hurting surrounding property values. The board will take bids on demolishing the structure in an upcoming meeting. Action on two other buildings – 1284 Willard Drive and 131 S. Wabash St. – were tabled. Mike Galley, who owns the Willard Drive property, received a timeline from the city to have work done. The matter will be revisited at the Nov. 15 meeting. As for the South Wabash Street property, a party has expressed interest in purchasing it and working with the city to make repairs. It was tabled until the Dec. 7 meeting.

USDA processing pending CRP enrollment offers Acceptance of most 2018 offers temporarily suspended

From the USDA WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced that it will process many pending eligible offers for land enrollment in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), and it will temporarily suspend accepting most new offers until later in the 2018 fiscal year. “All current, eligi-

ble CRP continuous enrollment offers made through Sept. 30, 2017 – except for those made under the Pollinator Habitat Initiative (CP42) – will be approved,” said Steven J. Peterson, Acting Farm Service Agency (FSA) A d m i n i s t r a t o r. “Additionally, we are temporarily suspending acceptance of most offers going forward to provide

time to review CRP allocation levels, and to avoid exceeding the statutory cap of 24 million acres.” The CRP acreage cap is a provision of the 2014 Farm Bill. Current enrollment is about 23.5 million acres nationwide. USDA is accepting all pending continuous enrollment offers that were made beginning on May 4, 2017, and extending through Sept. 30, 2017, except Pollinator Habitat Initiative offers. Pollinator acreage offers are being declined because the program has met its acreage enrollment goal. Effective immediately, USDA is suspending acceptance of all new CRP continuous offers received or submitted after Sept. 30, 2017. The suspension will continue until later in the 2018 fiscal year. Peterson said, however, that USDA will continue to accept eligible offers for state-specific Conservation R e s e r v e Enhancement Program (CREP) and CRP Grasslands enrollment. Offers received on or after Oct. 1, 2017, are subject to fiscal year 2018 rental rates which have been adjusted to reflect current market conditions and were established after careful review of the

latest USDA N a t i o n a l Ag ricultural Statistics Service cash rent data. In return for enrolling in CRP, USDA, through FSA, provides participants with rental payments and costshare assistance. Landowners enter into contracts that last between 10 and 15 years. CRP pays farmers and ranchers who remove sensitive lands from production and plant certain grasses, shrubs and trees that improve water quality, prevent soil erosion and increase wildlife habitat. Payment totals for 2017 were announced earlier this week totaling over $1.6 billion. Signed into law by President Reagan in 1985, CRP is one of the largest privatelands conservation program in the United States. Thanks to voluntary participation by farmers and landowners, CRP has improved water quality, reduced soil erosion and increased habitat for endangered and threatened species.

Wabash moves forward with Studies for Advancement By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash City Schools Board of Education will be moving forward with the Studies for Advancement following a vote on Monday, Oct. 23. With a 4-0 vote, the board approved a recommendation to accept the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County’s offer to engage in Phase II of the education study. Board member

Liz Hobbs was absent. “Basically what I was looking for coming out of the Phase I presentations, the C o m m u n i t y Foundation made it clear that they were willing to further the conversation in a second phase,” Superintendent Jason Callahan told the board. “I’m not sure if that has been well designed or drawn out at this point, but I guess I needed something for the board to say, ‘Yes. We’re interested.’ “MSD has taken

action to continue on with that Phase II and what I had told our staff is I’m seeking further conversations, further research on how do we become that best school system in the state of Indiana. So I figure more is to come about the design of that (Phase II) as we move forward, but I just need that blessing from the board to say, ‘Yes. Let’s move forward with those conversations.’” The board also adopted the 2018 Capital Projects Plan

for $1,449,681 and Bus Replacement Plan for $287,850, according to the Budget Summary Report on Indiana Gateway. “Needless to say there’s no fluff in it because we know we’re not going to get that money,” Matt Stone, Chief Business officer, said. “We built it very little to do actual Capital Projects stuff. It’s the plan we put out earlier, at one point $2 billion, and three-fourths of that goes to technology, insurance and utilities. We just don’t

have ability to put anything extra in it, so there’s not. It’s real basic for the next three years.” In other news, Bryan Dillon, Wabash City Council member and WCS liaison, reminded the board that two school board seats, currently held by Kimberly Pinkerton and Mary Anne Tait, will be expiring this year. The Wabash City Council will be advertising the seats’ vacancy in November, Dillon said. Pinkerton and Tait

are allowed to reapply, Bev Vanderpool, Mayor Scott Long’s

administrative assistant, told The Paper of Wabash County.

Wabash Council OKs 2018 salary ordinance By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

The first reading of the 2018 salary ordinance was approved 50 on Monday, Oct. 23, by the Wabash City Council. Under the measure, most city employees will receive a 2 percent pay increase next year. Not included in the 2 percent figure is Mayor Scott Long, who will receive a 6 percent raise, his first since taking over as mayor in 2016. Long will receive $68,617 next year, under the spending plan. In addition, Code Enforcement Officer

Kipp Cantrell will receive more than 2 percent. He is slated to receive $38,000, up $3,000 from last year. If he completes various certification courses this year, that amount could increase again in 2019. While the ordinance was approved on Monday, Council members set the figures when they had a budget hearing on Wednesday, Aug. 30. During that meeting, a proposed increase for Long of 5 percent was increased to 6 percent. Long, who during the 2015 campaign insisted he would not take a pay raise, told

The Paper of Wabash County after the meeting, “As we look at the salaries, if I continue to reject an increase, the department head salaries are creeping up on the mayor salary. After discussions with several council members, they encouraged me to accept the raise.” Among those receiving the 2 percent raises are the City Council members. Their pay will increase to $6,793 per Council member, with the Council president receiving an additional $1,500. Council members debated the increase; with Council member

City gets bid for work at Honeywell Park By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash Park Board received one bid Wednesday evening, Oct. 25, to refurbish Honeywell Park. R. Yoder Construction of Nappanee submitted a bid of $409,990 for the work, which includes rebuilding and adding electricity to the pavilion, moving the basketball courts, adding bleachers and constructing a storage shed. Honeywell Park is located near the Honeywell Pool and includes the tennis courts and a basketball court located in the parking lot. An anonymous donor approached the

board about paying for the improvements. However, Park Superintendent Adam Hall said the donor didn’t specify how much they were willing to spend for the work. If the $409,990 bid is too much, the board

will have to decide what aspects of the project will fit into the budget. The board took the bid under advisement. It will review the matter and consider is approval when it meets on Nov. 8.

Mitch Figert contending that the increase was a cost of living increase and should be applied to everyone, including the Council. Council member Doug Adams argued against the Council increase, saying, “It’s a hell of a salary for what’s done.” Before voting on the measure Monday, Figert commended city officials for keeping the municipality fiscally sound, enabling it to grant the increases.

“When other companies and organizations are having to make cuts, we’re fiscally sound and are able to do the pay increases, the 2 percent pay increase and make sure our workers are compensated for the hard work the mayor makes them do.” The total salary ordinance is $4.3 million. Second reading on the matter will take place at the Council’s Nov. 13 meeting.

THE PAPER

November 1, 2017

County’s LIT changes explained we have—for lack of a better term—‘buckets’ that we can divide that 2.9 (percent) up into.” These “buckets” include Certified Shares, Property Tax Relief, Public Safety and County Economic Development Income Tax (CEDIT). “Currently 1.4 percent of it is in our Certified Shares, 1 percent of it is in our Property Tax Relief, .25 (percent) is in our Public Safety and .25 (percent) is in our CEDIT, which equals up to the 2.9 (percent),” she explained. “What we’re doing is taking that same 2.9 (percent) and basically leaving that alone, but we’re allocating it differently.” In short, the ordinance reorganized the LIT percentages, Shepherd agreed. Under the new ordinance, .5 percent was decreased from the Property Tax Relief rates. Of that .5 percent, .41 percent will be reallocated to

Certified Shares and .09 percent of the Expenditure rate directed to PSAP. “So now the Public Safety is going to be a .34 (percent) with that .09 (percent) that we’re adding to that dedicated to the PSAP,” Shepherd said. “Then the remainder, the .41 (percent), is going to Certified Shares, which the Certified Shares is a portion of tax that we get from income tax. So everybody pays that income tax, but that is distributed through a mathematical calculation based on population (which the state determines) and that is distributed to all the cities and towns, townships and the libraries.” What does the decrease in Property Tax Relief mean? As per its name, the Property Tax Relief rate alleviates tax cost burdens, to tax payers’ bills not to government unit budgets, according to Shepherd. Currently, 1 percent of the LIT, or approximately $6 million, is dedicated to Property Tax Relief for property owners, with approximately 57 percent going to home owners, 9 percent to agriculture land, 9 percent to business and 25 percent to rentals, according to Shepherd. When the modifications take effect on Jan. 1, the Property Tax Relief rate will decrease to .5 percent, which will then be distributed to the

...continued from the front page other taxing units, or buckets, according to the auditor. Homestead owners will still receive tax relief credits, Shepherd explained, but some might experience an increase with the tax cost burden. “The property taxes, because we are not giving that additional credit (the .5 percent), the property taxes may increase,” she said. “So if there is an increase, that increase is going to vary depending on the assessed value of the property. With the .41 percent of new shares to each unit of government, tax rates should be going down for everyone, but because of home owners getting about 57 percent of credits, the lower tax rate may offset the reduced credits.” The increase will vary from property to property with some homestead owners not experiencing one at all, she continued. Rental, commercial and agriculture property owners may also experience a reduced tax rate due to the redistribution, she added. “Looking at our assessed values going into next year, our assessed values are down $4 million,” she explained. “So lower assessed value, lower tax rates (for some property owners) is going to mean is a lower tax bill. So we’re not 100 percent positive how that rearranging of that LIT credit is going to affect homeowners. “Basically, from

what we could tell from Darren Bates (of DataPitStop), who did a lot of our calculations, is the higher the assessed value of the property, the higher amount of property tax is going to increase. Is it going to increase by 50 percent? No it’s not because you have those other deductions and you have to take into account the tax caps.” Most properties that have a homestead deduction, “which means the person lives in the home and is claiming a homestead,” those taxes can only be up to 1 percent of the home’s assessed value, according to Shepherd. “If it goes over that 1 percent, then that is considered you hit a cap,” she explained. “If you have a $100,000 house, your cap is going to be at $1,000. If your tax bill was to go to $1,200, your tax bill can only be $1,000 because you’ve hit a cap. Then the county—and we do this at our budget time—we adjust our budgets, we lower our budgets for hitting our caps because that’s income that we will not be receiving.” Shepherd said she understands that this is difficult to understand. “The confusing part comes from (the fact) that there are so many variables in there,” Shepherd said, “because it goes by your assessed (value), your tax rate. Since the assessments change every year, the (continued on page 5)

County’s LIT changes explained tax rates change every year. You can’t really pinpoint (the effects).” Why did these modifications have to take place? “The issue that we

keep coming into is we keep borrowing money from the Highway Department, or their Cumulative Bridge Fund, in order to pay our bills,” Shepherd said. “All of our bridges are start-

ing to get to where they need to be replaced and so Cumulative Bridge is not going to be there for us to borrow from. We have to do something.” By directing the .09

percent to the PSAP, it takes the burden of paying for the Central Dispatch budget directly off of the Wabash County General Fund and disperses the burden between all of the county’s taxing units, according to Shepherd.

“All of us are taxpayers too,” Shepherd said. “My taxes are going to go up, too. We don’t know exactly how this is going to turn out for us until next year at tax time. … The council’s ultimate goal was to be able to utilize some funds to put back into

An adventure of two lifetimes “For two solid weeks I just did research,” she said. “I typed in his name. And, because it’s a Hawaiian name, there’s a lot of misspellings. So I also plugged in like a dozen different spellings, and I found quite a few results. “And then I found more. And then, on newspaperarchives.co m, I found more.” Archambault’s journey began Sept. 14 at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., doing more research. While there, she visited the site of the nowgone Cosmos Theatre, where her great-grandparents once performed. Today, it is the site of the J. Edgar Hoover FBI Building. Early on, she found many of the theaters are no longer in existence. For example, the Lyric Theater, where the Nainoas played in June 1918, is now the site of the state’s general assembly building. A former theater in Brooklyn still exists, however it is now a public high school. Archambault has found several sites, such as in Wabash, where the theaters remain and has been able to visit them. “The first 25 cities or so, it was like, demolished, demolished, demolished, all the theaters gone,” she said. “It was sort of like heartbreaking. It was like, ‘Am I wasting my time going to all these cities?’ I knew I wasn’t, but I want to see the theaters. “Then when I hit Charleston, West Virginia, I started getting into the cities and actually getting to go into the theaters.” While no known video of the Nainoas performing exists, Archambault has a recording of her greatgrandfather performing a song.

Dear Editor: I have been around long enough to see many changes in education. The latest push is to unite all the school corporations in one unit. Let me remind taxpayers of some past changes. The middle school concept failed. Locally, the Manchester School Corporation, I believe, paid over $200,000 for a set of plans still gathering dust. We are still ahead of the game replacing my high

school, Laketon’s name, calling it a middle school. Looking back, all these changes were going to be better for students and taxpayers. I question whether either is true? One change that has helped keep Manchester’s student enrollment steady is the breaking down of artificial barriers. The biggest reason is it’s a strong school.

GET TWO CHURCHES? Although Urbana now has one church (the Urbana Yoke Parish that uses two church buildings), for many years this small town had two separate churches just across the road from each other. The St. Peter’s Church was the first church and was served by the following ministers: the Rev. J. Gubler from 1862 to 1864, the Rev. Ebling from 1864 to 1866, the Rev. F. Kersten from 1870 to 1872, and the Rev. F. Frankenfeld from 1872 to 1876. When the Rev. Frankenfeld was serving the St. Peter’s church a group broke away from the church and organized the “Albrechtskircher”, which became the Grace Church of Urbana. St. Peter’s Church was pastored by the Rev. Schumm from 1876 to 1880, the Rev. Dubus from 1880- to 1886. While the Rev. Dubus was pastor the present brick church on State Road 13 was built at a cost of $5,000. Land was bought across the road at this time for $100. St. Peter’s old frame church was moved to this new property and used as a school house where Sunday School classes were held and German school conducted on Saturdays and during the summer until about 1900. Later this building was sold and moved to another site. The bell for the new brick St. Peter’s church was donated by the women of the church and their names were scratched on the bell. At first the church was heated with stoves, but at the turn of the century a furnace was installed. (Thanks to Rena’ Warnock for this St. Peter’s church history research.)

4 simple ways to winterize your home

From Metro Creative Graphics As winter approaches, homeowners know they must do certain things to ready their homes for the coming months. Wrapping up the grill and closing the pool are no-brainers, but homeowners also must prioritize winterizing their

homes to ensure homes withstand the winter. Winterizing tasks range from small to big, but each can protect a home and its inhabitants and some can even save homeowners a substantial amount of money. The following are four simple ways to win-

terize your home. Plug leaks Leaky windows and doorways can cost homeowners money year-round, allowing cold air to escape on hot summer afternoons and letting cold air in on brisk winter nights. When such leaks aren’t fixed, homeowners are

more liable to turn up their air conditioners or heaters, unnecessarily padding their energy bills along the way. Before winter arrives, check areas around windows and door frames for leaks, as well as any additional openings, such as chimneys, that may allow cold air in. Use

caulk or weather strips to plug these leaks, and enjoy your warmer home and lower energy bills as winter weather gets colder and colder. Inspect your chimney If your home has a chimney, chances are you have not used it since last winter. During that time, the chimney has likely accumulated some dirt and grime, and may even have served as home to some uninvited critters. As the season for fireside chats approaches,

have your chimney serviced by a professional so it’s ready for use and you are not greeted by some unwanted guests upon lighting your first fire. Clear the yard Autumn days, particularly late autumn days, can be gusty, and strong winds can cause branches to fall off trees. Branches big and small can cause damage to cars, siding and roofs, and smaller branches can get clogged in gutters, potentially causing gutters to back up and

leading to leaky roofs that damage a home’s interior. Take a walk around your property at least once per week during the fall, clearing any fallen limbs and trimming branches that appear one strong gust away from falling off of trees. Remove any branches that are hanging over your home and driveway so they don’t pose a threat to your house or vehicles. Turn off outdoor water supplies When temperatures get especially low, (continued on page 19)

THE PAPER OF

Ways to prepare garden for winter By B. Rosie Learner Purdue University

There are many things that gardeners should do in November to prepare their lawns and gardens for winter. HOME (Indoor plants and activities) Check houseplant leaves for brown, dry edges, which indicates too little relative humidity in the house. Increase humidity by running a humidifier, grouping plants or using pebble trays. Extend the lives of holiday plants such as poinsettias and Christmas cactus by placing them in a cool, brightly lit area that is free from warm or cold drafts. Houseplants may not receive adequate light because days are short and gloomy. Move plants closer to windows, but avoid placing foliage against cold glass panes. Artificial lighting may be helpful. Because growth slows or stops in winter months, most plants will require less water and little, if any, fertilizer. If you are forcing bulbs for the holidays, bring them into warmer temperatures after they have been sufficiently precooled. Bulbs require a chilling period of about 10 to 12 weeks at 40 degrees F to initiate flower buds and establish root growth. Precooled bulbs are available from many garden suppliers, if you did not get yours cooled in time. Then provide two to four weeks of warm temperature (60 F), bright light and moderately moist soil to bring on flowers. When shopping for a Christmas tree, check for green, flexible, firmly held needles and a sticky trunk base - both indicators of freshness. Make a fresh cut, and keep the cut end under water at all times. Evergreens, except pines and spruce, can be trimmed now for a fresh supply of holiday greenery. YARD (Lawns,

woody ornamentals and fruits) Prevent bark splitting of young and

thin-barked trees, such as fruit and maple trees. Wrap trunks with tree

wrap, or paint them with white latex (not oil-based) paint, par(continued on page 19)

3 pre-winter lawn care pointers From Metro Creative Graphics

Winter weather can be harsh, especially on lawns. Homeowners

who spend much of spring and summer tending to their lawns may fear the impact that winter will have on their once-lush

landscapes, making the fall a great time to fortify lawns against any harsh conditions to come. Homeowners must

take grass type into consideration before taking steps to prepare their lawns for the winter. Some grasses are best fertil-

ized in late-summer, while others should be fertilized in autumn. Cool-season grasses, including fescue and bluegrass, are best fer-

tilized sometime between the months of September and November. Warm-season grasses, such as Bermuda or zoysia, should be fertilized between July and September. Once homeowners have gained a greater understanding of their lawns, they can begin exploring the various ways to prepare their lawns for whatever winter has in store. Explore winterizing fertilizers Homeowners who want to make their grasses more winter hardy can consult landscaping professionals to determine if winterizing fertilizers will work for their lawns. These specially formulated fertilizers, many of which are made exclusively for cool-season grasses, contain higher levels of potassium and lower levels of nitrogen than early-season fertilizers. Potassium helps strengthen and harden plants, and cool-season grasses may need extra potassium as winter settles in. Homeowners who are not sure if they should apply winterizing fertilizer can con-

duct soil tests to determine the potassium levels in their soil. If the test indicates the soil has sufficient potassium, then applying a winterizing fertilizer is likely unnecessary. In addition, homeowners who have fed their lawn a balance of nutrients throughout spring and summer likely will not need to apply winterizing fertilizer. Get rid of fallen leaves While fallen leaves may be integral components of idyllic autumn landscapes, leaves left on the lawn throughout the winter may lead to disease in the grass. Leaves trap moisture and block sunlight and air from reaching grass, and that can encourage the development of disease. In addition, leaves can harbor insects that also may contribute to disease. While it might seem like common sense to delay leaf removal until the end of autumn when all the leaves have fallen, that, too, can prove harmful to lawns. Leaves left laying on lawns for long periods of time can contribute (continued on page 19)

Safety measures for winter drivers

From Metro Creative Graphics Winter weather causes many people to retreat indoors until the spring thaw. However, for those who embrace the cooler temperatures or find that life must go on despite snow and ice, taking inventory of their vehicles is a must before the first snowflakes start to fall. Tire care is an especially important area of vehicle maintenance. The tire experts at Michelin say that regular tires may be ineffective for winter driving. Summer tires are made from materials that are optimized for warm conditions. When the mercury drops, these same materials can harden, reducing their ability to grip the road. That lack of traction can be compounded by the

presence of snow or ice. Even all-season tires, which are designed to be driven year-round, can be insufficient in severe weather conditions. Winter tires can help drivers safely navigate winter roadways. Bridgestone Tires officials say that having the right snow tires matters when driving in winter weather conditions. It’s important to look for tires that can disperse water sufficiently and also grip the road. Snow tires are designed to remain softer and

more flexible to conform to the road better in cold conditions. Some winter tires are even studded to provide better traction. Unfortunately, even the best winter tires cannot provide perfect traction on slippery roadways. That is why it is essential — in conjunction with the use of winter tires or snow chains — to modify driving techniques to navigate safely. Drive slowly. Slow down on winter roads. Allow a greater distance for stopping than for dry condi-

Choose the right tire for your vehicle and season From Metro Creative Graphics Motorists spend hours behind the wheel and spend lots of money on maintenance to ensure their vehicles are in top working order. But tires are one area of maintenance that often goes unchecked, even by the most diligent automobile owners. Tires undergo a lot of wear and tear, which only highlights the importance of proper tire maintenance. But many drivers do not give tires a passing thought until there is a problem, such as a flat or excessive wear. Also, some drivers

think that all tires are the same, failing to realize that the kind of tires vehicles need depends on various factors. In addition to the size and type of vehicle, drivers should consider the type of driving they do and the driving conditions they routinely encounter before choosing tires for their vehicles. Many vehicles come off the lot with all-season passenger tires because these tires are among the most versatile. However, if you live in a particular climate or do a lot of driving that requires specific traction or maneuverability, all-season (continued on page 14)

tions. Slippery conditions can make it more challenging to stop, and excessive speeds can make the situation worse. Shift into low gear. On hills, rely on low gears to maximize traction to travel up and down hills. This can minimize skids or sliding.

Get the vehicle a tuneup. In addition to tires, be sure the braking system, battery and other major components of the vehicle are in good working order. Replace windshield wipers. Reduced visibility can compromise the safety of drivers and their pas-

sengers. Replace windshield wiper blades before winter arrives. Consider purchasing winter-rated windshield blades. Know how to recover from a skid. When skids occur on black ice or slush, drivers should take their feet off of the pedals and steer gently in the

" # !

direction they want to go. As the vehicle regains traction, only then should the brakes or accelerator be applied. Winter weather requires making some vehicle modifications, and drivers may want to alter the way they drive to be more safe on the road.

they might make the best fit. All-season All-season tires provide all-season versatility, good wear and ride comfort. They can be dependable tires and offer light snow traction as well. All-season tires provide adequate protection in many conditions, but do not offer specific benefits in any one area. They’re likely to be satisfactory for a vast array of drivers. All-season tires are typically offered in touring and passenger types. Touring will provide lower road noise and better handing, while passenger varieties offer a smooth

ride and longevity. Summer tires Summer tires are designed to offer traction and maneuverability in warm weather. Orbital grooves and complex treads maximize traction in hot, humid weather. If you live in an area where the temperature is consistently steamy, summer tires may be a good investment. Winter tires A safety precaution for many people who live where conditions often include snow, ice and cold weather, winter tires can be lifesavers. These tires are designed using several different types of rubber, and feature tread

designs that maximize traction during inclement conditions. Winter tires also come in various subcategories. Studdable winter tires provide the extra security of added studs to enhance traction on ice. Performance winter tires offer better dry road handling, but traction on snow and ice may be compromised. Performance tires Performance tires offer a sports car feel. These are meant for drivers who want to feel the road and increase low-speed traction. The higher the level of performance, the increased level of handling and

stability at high speeds. Truck tires Trucks, pickups and SUVs also have a variety of tire types. There are off-road varieties, which will offer an aggressive tread design for off-road traction and other obstacles. Light truck tires help provide durability and traction. Specially designed SUV tires may be large, but can still offer comfortfocused applications designed for on-road driving. Drivers looking for better performance from their tires should speak with a tire retailer about the options available to them.

3 pre-winter lawn care pointers to the same types of damage as leaves left on the lawn throughout winter, so do your best to remove leaves as they fall. Take steps to fight snow mold Homeowners who live in regions where snow falls into spring or where spring tends to be cold and damp

may want to take steps to prevent snow mold. Gray snow mold typically looks fuzzy and gray, and lawns infested with snow mold may develop unsightly gray or brown spots indicative of dead grass. Pink snow mold may be even worse than gray snow mold because pink mold

attacks the roots as well as the leaves. To prevent snow mold, continue mowing into the fall, even as lawns grow dormant, clearing the lawn of grass clippings and leaves after each mow. Thick lawns may provide a breeding ground for snow mold, so homeowners whose lawns

...continued from page 12

have a history of developing snow mold may benefit from mowing their lawns into the fall. Winter is rarely easy on lawns, but homeowners can take several steps to prepare their lawns for potentially harsh winter weather.

Ways to prepare garden for winter ...continued from page 11 ticularly on the south- and southwestfacing sides. Protect shrubs such as junipers and arborvitae from extensive snow loads by tying their stems together with twine. Carefully remove heavy snow loads with a broom to prevent limb breakage. P r o t e c t broadleaves, evergreens or other tender landscape plants from excessive drying (desiccation) by winter sun and wind. Canvas, burlap or polyethylene plastic screens to the south and west protect the plants. Similarly, shield plants from salt spray on the street side. Provide winter protection for roses by mounding soil approximately 12 inches high to insulate the graft union after plants are dormant and temperatures are cold. Additional organic mulch such as straw compost or chopped

leaves can be placed on top. G A R D E N (Flowers, vegetables and small fruits) To protect newly planted or tender perennials and bulbs, mulch with straw, chopped leaves or other organic material after plants become dormant. Store leftover garden chemicals where they will stay dry, unfrozen and out of the reach of children,

pets and unsuspecting adults. Once the plants are completely dormant and temperatures are consistently below freezing, apply winter mulch to protect strawberries and other tender perennials. In most cases, 2 to 4 inches of organic material such as straw, pine needles, hay or bark chips will provide adequate protection. Check produce and

tender bulbs in storage, and discard any that show signs of decay, such as mold or softening. Shriveling indicates insufficient relative humidity. Clean up dead plant materials, synthetic mulch and other debris in the vegetable garden, as well as in the flowerbeds, rose beds and orchards. Make notes for next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garden.

4 simple ways to winterize your home ...continued from page 10 pipes with water still in them can freeze and burst, potentially leading to significant water damage. When you no longer need to water the lawn and when temperatures get too cold to wash your car in the driveway, be sure to shut off the water supply to outdoor spigots and sprinkler systems. Once you do that, drain them so no water is sitting in the pipes when temperatures dip. There are many ways to winterize a home, and homeowners should take every precaution necessary to ensure their homes are safe and warm as the cold weather season approaches.

Retired Teamster

Feb. 4, 1940 – Oct. 21, 2017

Sept. 22, 1944 – Oct. 22, 2017

Barbara Benjamin, 65 Worked as legal secretary May 1, 1952 – Oct. 25, 2017

Barbara Sue (DeLong) Benjamin, 65, of Bloomfield Hills, Mich., quietly passed away in her home on Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2017, after a long and hard-fought battle with cancer. She was born on May 1, 1952, in Wabash, to Alvis Herbert “Herb” DeLong and Mintie Pearl (Smith) DeLong. Barbara, or Sue as she preferred to be called, graduated from Wabash High School in 1970 and later attended classes at Indiana University while living in Indianapolis. Sue moved several times over the course of her life, from Indiana to Illinois to Ohio, back to Indiana and then eventually to Bloomfield Hills, where she has lived since 1984 - but no matter where she moved, Wabash was always the place she called home. Family and friends were particularly important in Sue’s life, so she returned to her hometown as often as she could. There, in the very same house she grew up in, she was welcomed by her mother, her four siblings and her many nieces and nephews along with their own growing families. In the early years, Sue was a devoted homemaker, caring for and raising her three sons with the same solid Midwestern values that she had learned from her own upbringing. By the mid-1980s, Sue also had a professional life. She was a legal secretary and office manager at the law offices of Deneweth, Dugan & Parfitt, P.C., in Troy, Mich., and had only recently retired after more than 30 years of service. The kind and generous people that she worked alongside became more than just co-workers and acquaintances to Sue - she counted them among some of her nearest and dearest friends. Sue attended the First United Methodist Church of Birmingham and she found great comfort in her faith - a faith that became even more significant to her as time passed. Whether you knew Sue as a friend, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a mother or a grandmother (she was all of those, and more), she’ll be remembered as a strong and independent woman who had immeasurable love for family and friends, an unbreakable spirit and a passion for jewelry. Your time with us was far too short - we’ll miss you every single day. She is survived by her mother, Mintie Pearl DeLong of Wabash; her three sons, Scott (Kim) Benjamin of Roswell, Ga., Mike (Molly) Benjamin and Rob Benjamin, all of White Lake, Mich.; four grandchildren, Maggie Benjamin of Roswell, Grant Benjamin, Claire Benjamin, and Carson Benjamin, all of White Lake; her siblings, Brenda (Harvey) Coble of Wabash, Lynne (Joe) Getz of LaFontaine, Indiana, Jim (Linda) DeLong of Wabash, and Libby (Joe) Cook of Lagro. She was preceded in death by her father on Dec. 4, 1976. Funeral services were, Saturday, October 28, 2017, at A.J. Desmond & Sons Funeral Home, 32515 Woodward Ave., Royal Oak, Mich., with the Rev. Renee Machiniak officiating. Friends may call 10 - noon. A second visitation period was Monday, Oct. 30, at Grandstaff-Hentgen Funeral Service, 1241 Manchester Ave., Wabash. Graveside services will be 12:30 p.m., Monday at Falls Cemetery, Wabash, with the Rev. John Cook officiating. Preferred memorials are The Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute (www.karmanos.org) or The International Myeloma Foundation www.myeloma.org).

Series managers, ceremonial pitches & patriotic acts

Rood Tourney planned for spring By Bill Barrows

On Saturday May 19, 2018, during next baseball season, the Wabash High School baseball team will host the inaugural Rood Memorial Tourney. During the course of the day, the family of Hall of Fame coach Chris Rood, for whom the baseball field at Wabash High School is named, will be recognized as they will be on hand that day. Coach Rood’s nephews will throw out ceremonial pitches before the game. The hope is that fans will fill beautiful Chris Rood Field that day to honor the memory of the coach who set the standard and the tradition still followed some 22 years after his death. All former Wabash baseball players are invited to attend that day to help celebrate the game of baseball as well as the life of the coach. Players are asked to either post on the Apache Baseball Booster Facebook page or contact The Wabash High School Athletic Department to let them know so they will be among the others to be recognized that day. The schedule of game times has not been released as yet, but the four team, one day tourney will feature Fairfield, Western, Northfield as well as Wabash baseball teams.

In the second quarter, the Knights recovered an Eastside fumble to put together a scoring drive in which Blair found Trexler from 12 yards out. Four minutes later, Blair and Nathan Riggle connected on a six-yard pass play before Blair hit Matthew Nose from six yards out in the closing minute of the first half. About three minutes into the third quarter, Blair scored on his own, running the ball in from the 19 yard line. Later in the same quarter, Blair

make each day? Each day presents us with new variables or decisions to make. In tennis there are the variables of the court surface, the weather, the opponent, the spin and speed of the ball, just to name a few. Most decisions in sports are done in micro seconds, life decisions can take much more time. I do know life and tennis would be boring if each day were exactly the same. Variables

can bring positive or negative circumstances, winning a point or losing one, a great day or not so great day. For me, this is an unbelievable attraction to life and the sport of tennis.” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe enjoyable week!

percent increase recommendation to the council during the budget hearings on Sept. 12. At the time, the committee noted that some specific salary increases beyond 1 percent had been requested by the Sheriff ’s Department, the Prosecutor’s Office and the Circuit and Superior Courts, according to the Sept. 12 meeting’s minutes. However, “the committee failed to complete their schedule agenda when they met previously, so there were no recommendations to the Council concerning these increases. It was the consensus of the County Council that these requests must be heard and recommendations given by the Salary and Wage Committee before the Council could consider the increases,” the document continued. In September, the departments that requested the additional increases were instructed to present their requests to the Salary and Wage Committee at another meeting and those requests would then be scheduled on the Council’s agenda for consideration of 2018 additional appropriations. On Monday, the Council approved the salaries and wages that the committee had originally recommended with a 6-0 vote. Council member Lorissa Sweet was absent.

Squire Band achieves highest score at finals By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com

NORTH MANCHESTER — After a strong season, the Squire Band finished just shy of placing at the Indiana State School Music A s s o c i a t i o n Scholastic Finals on Saturday, Oct. 21. According to Band Director Jeff Huber,

the band received its highest score in the last decade, but fell short of placing in its last competition of the season at Lawrence Central High School. “The band made an important step forward this season. We passed an important milestone in our number score and the group was able to suc-

cessfully improve every week from the beginning week of the season to the last week. We were disappointed we didn’t place in the top 5, but we were excited by our score,” Huber said. “This year’s band raised the bar for following years. The future looks very bright as each year

THE PAPER

November 1, 2017

CVB offering Wabash Christmas ornaments By The Paper staff An exclusive, 2017 Christmas ornament – the fifth in a series of the Visit Wabash County ornaments, is now available for purchase. The ornament was designed by The Wood Shed and was inspired by the pride that many have in calling Wabash County home. After 39 years of business in Wabash, Ron and Kris Moore have been carving out a niche that showcases their artistic talents in the woodworking business. Each 2017 ornament was individually cut and handcrafted out of old barn wood located in Wabash

County and was whitewashed to showcase an antique look. “What better way to show pride in our county then by marking it on the cutout of Indiana,” said Jennifer Long-Dillon, Tourism Manager of Visit Wabash County, “We are so excited to share the creative talent of the Moore’s work with you.” There are 150 ornaments available, unlike years past when only 100 were available. “Along with the Visit Wabash County Board of Directors, we decided that in order to keep up with demand but still keep the exclusivity of the ornament, we will

now offer a total of 150 ornaments for purchase as opposed to 100,” LongDillon said. “I am thrilled that our ornament program has become so special and a ‘must have’ for many Wabash County residents. Each ornament was specially handcrafted and is numbered and signed.” The 2017 ornament is now available for purchase for $17 each.
